I'm hoping some of it is water weight and it will go down with time. I've been doing a lot better so I know I just need to keep it up.

Some of this is bloating, but I honestly haven't been tracking like I should and I've overindulged on wine. I went to the doc today and she reminded…

And I'm back at 150.8 today. LOL. I just want to get to the 140's!

I keep trying to tell myself that I'm still three pounds down from where I was at this time last month. Memorial Day weekend is…

It's not weigh in time, but I just watched this brilliant explanation of IF and wanted to share. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6Dkt7zyImk

I am feeling a bit down, though, because I think I will have to give up my dream of running a half marathon. I just don't think my knees can take it and it's really tough to keep my…

This is how I carry body fat, as well. I have muscular legs and a bigger chest and torso. That's why I wondered how it could possibly be accurate. I usually get a reading of 24-26% on the scale.

I was Keto/very low carb for a while. It wasn't working with my distance running so I just try to limit simple carbs as much as possible.

4/1 - 154 4/8 - 153 4/15 -157 4/22 -157 4/29 - 152 5/6 -151.8 5/13 - 5/20 - 5/27 (Memorial Day!) - I am so close to the 140's now! I didn't get to do my long run this weekend because it did nothing but rain. It's really weird, though, I'm not hungry at all today.

What about air popped popcorn? It's really low in calories.

I drink decaf coffee for this reason, also. I also like adding sugar free flavoring to seltzer water. I keep rice cakes, apples, and celery around if I'm craving something crunchy. That way I can indulge a little bit without going overboard.

I feel like 140-145 is my happy weight (I'm 5'7" and pretty muscular) I was up to 155 again and not feeling the best. People told me I still looked great, but that wasn't the point. I just felt heavier and less fit, and my clothes felt all weird. I'm ultimately trying to get down to 135 now because I'm training for a half…

Three More Words by Ashley Rhodes Courter. It's honestly breaking my heart.

It's probably water weight that will come off soon. Good for you for getting back on track!

My son is three years old, too. I didn't start working out until he was about 1 and a half years old because I just wasn't sleeping. When I worked in the office I would work out in the morning and get ready for work at the gym. Now that I telework I workout on my lunch break and use my afternoon break to shower. Does your…

I know it's not weigh-in time, but I am down to 151 as of this morning! That's six pounds of bloating that went away, but it's also lower than I've been logging for the past few months. I'll take it.

Losing while breastfeeding is tough! I always had hunger pains in the morning because my son nursed a lot in the evening. Bulletproof coffee helped me with morning cravings, but everyone is different.

You guys....I know it's not weekly weigh in time, but I just weighed myself and I'm down to 151! That's six pounds less than Monday. Definitely motivating me to keep going.

To some extent weight fluctuations are normal, even for those who have never been obese. I have been maintaining for a while and gained some "winter fluff" but I know what I am doing and know that I can lose these ten pounds again. It took a long time to lose weight, and it takes a while to gain weight. Even if you gain a…

The first pic is the only one I have of me at my heaviest. I was probably around 215 and 19 years old. The second one is from last summer at about 145. I'm a little over 150 now and trying to lose the winter weight. I'm training for a half marathon this summer so hopefully the weight comes off soon. I've been maintaining…

Part of it is because I consumed some Easter carbs this past weekend, but part of it is because I'm still on my period. I'm trying not to be discouraged, but it's tough. I really want to be close to…

I've had a lot of days like that lately, too. It doesn't help that my husband just seems to stay small no matter what he eats, so there's loads of beer, pizza, whatever in the house. Hang in there!

Super frustrating, but I know I couldn't have gained four pounds overnight, so I'll just wait and see what my weight is next week. We have our last night class…

I live in WV and my grandfather said the first one the last time I saw him. LOL. When I first started to lose people were concerned. I get it because I used to have an ED. Now that I've been maintaining for a year I'm starting to get nasty comments. Like that I have "skinny genes" (no, I was obese in college and chubby…
