Luckily I started off by finally dipping 0.8 pounds after 6…

Well this is an improbably plateau. I have been the exact same weight every day for 6 days.

@deepwoodslady Sorry to hear about the stress/blood pressure situation. I hope you can have some down time. @KayHBE Also sorry to hear about your SO in hospital.

My trendline is starting to look like a long flat horizon. I guess that is better than the ski jump it was a couple of weeks ago? Day 83: Sun, 7/31: 152 Day 84: Mon, 8/1: 152.8 Day 85: Tues, 8/2: 152 Day 86: Wed, 8/3: 150.2 Day 87: Thurs, 8/4: 151.4 Day 88: Fri, 8/5: 150 - Pizza, skipped swimming Day 89: Sat, 8/6: 151.6…

Still in the 150's. What can I say...hopefully out of there soon.

Still in the 150's. I have a scale that measures fat % and at least that number is going down a little.

Weight remaining stubbornly in the 150's. NSV: My comfy summer shorts that were a major inspiration for getting started on this round of weight loss have gone from: "Hard to pull up and a nightmare to close" to "Ok to pull up but hard to close/uncomfortable" to now just "Easy to pull up and just a little snug, could wear…

Still plateauing. Cutting calorie goal back a little. I am surprised that is necessary but will give it a try. Day 83: Sun, 7/31: 152 Day 84: Mon, 8/1: 152.8 Day 85: Tues, 8/2: Day 86: Wed, 8/3: Day 87: Thurs, 8/4: Day 88: Fri, 8/5: Day 89: Sat, 8/6: 13th Week Goal Weight: 146 (Original), 149 (Expected) 13th Week Actual…

Yes. I lost 67 pounds starting 7.5 years ago and ending about 6 years ago. At my worst regain, being when I started MFP this time, I was still 38 pounds lower than my highest weight. I am currently at 44 pounds below. I work in IT, have a few sedentary hobbies and recently recovered from ankle surgery.

@deepwoodslady Sorry to hear you are having such a serious health issue right now. Wishing you the best outcomes and a smooth recovery. I am hoping to hear back when you are through with this part but also hoping you don't even worry about anything online one little bit until then.

On a plateau. Well, I shouldn't have had ice cream yesterday. Day 76: Sun, 7/24: 152.5 (Est. using average, DNW) Day 77: Mon, 7/25: 152 Day 78: Tues, 7/26: 151.8 (Est. using average, DNW) Day 79: Wed, 7/27: 151.4 Day 80: Thurs, 7/28:150.4 Day 81: Fri, 7/29:150.4 Day 82: Sat, 7/30:150.4 12th Week Goal Weight: 147…

Welcome @Arietty32!

Well I had a terrible week (weight-wise), some time away and some work done on the house. so I missed a handful of weigh-ins. I am finally checking in with some numbers. In that week among other things I had a weird health issue that required me to take steroids so my water weight went up exponentially. Grr. Then I was…

Went up on week over week for the first time. Well that was bound to happen but it is too bad and that is two weeks behind on my goal. Oh well. I hope next week is better. As planned I am now changing my loss rate from 1.5 to 1 pound per week as I have lost the first few easiest pounds. I also corrected my original final…

Restaurant food yesterday but made myself choose a Poke bowl on mixed greens. Decision to skip the rice was a tough one. Was over but not by much. Just two more days until I raise my calorie limit a little..... NSV: Got dressed up to go out and wore never worn pants (bought this time last year) that wouldn't have fit me…

@KayHBE You are doing amazing with your steady progress!

The balance exercises were definitely hard when the therapist was showing me how to do them. Not sure about sodium. It was home made pizza so not as high as it could have been but you are probably right.

Physiotherapist gave me a bunch of BOSU ball exercises yesterday so I am shopping for another piece of exercise equipment. Hard to find room for things sometimes. The other option would be to join a gym but I still don't feel very comfortable with that due to the new Omicron. Day 55: Sun, 7/3: 153.8 :( Day 56: Mon, 7/4:…

Pizza last night. Got in another swim but was still in the red by over 100 calories. Day 55: Sun, 7/3: 153.8 :( Day 56: Mon, 7/4: 152.4 Day 57: Tues, 7/5: 153.4 :( Day 58: Wed, 7/6: 152.2 Day 59: Thurs, 7/7: 152.2 Day 60: Fri, 7/8: 151.8 Day 61: Sat, 7/9: 150.6 9th Week Goal Weight: 150.5 9th Week Actual Weight: 150.6…

@deepwoodslady Sorry to hear you got COVID and the heart diagnoses. I hope the COVID passes quickly. Congrats on the scale victory.

I got very close in the end. After all a great result. :) Perhaps it was helped along by getting in my first lane swim of the season last night. Didn't know if I could do it at all after my ankle surgery but took it easy and it was great - not like before - but great. Day 55: Sun, 7/3: 153.8 :( Day 56: Mon, 7/4: 152.4 Day…

Unlikely to make my ambitious goal but am back to where I was last week. That is pretty good I suppose.

I am having a rough week of gains but I am really enjoying my new exercise bike anyway.

Going to try out my new exercise bike today. Got a great deal from Amazon warehouse deals which we got set up yesterday. After setup we had had enough for the day.

@dawnbgethealthy Thanks! I hope you can get a visit to your family soon.

Super happy with today's weigh in! I hit 8 total pounds down which is a milestone loss of 5% of my starting body weight. Part of my motivation is the need to put on shorts. Here in Toronto it doesn't get truly hot until July. I bought new shorts that are a little larger than most that I own and can't wear. However they are…

Hi everyone, I'm joining in late. I started this diet and myfitnesspal on May 31st. I do track my weight everyday. I find that it works for me mainly because it avoids making a weekly weigh in so impactful and therefore stressful. I am trying to lose 33.6 pounds in total. At my height the extra 33 pounds was making me…

Congratulations! Cheers to your health and happiness. :)

Yes!
