Date: 4/17 Exercised?: 43 minutes aerobics, 20 minutes weight training Calories?: Y Tracked?: Y Pass Days Used - 3/3 Inside I clean as I go throughout the year but there are a few things, like washing all the curtains and windows, that I like to do in the spring. Outdoors most of my spring cleaning has been completed over…

6 lbs in a month is actually a high rate of loss. More than what is recommended. Why would you give up? You say you've lost nothing for 10 days and that you go up and down and up and down. It sounds like you are weighing yourself daily and that the normal daily fluctuations are messing with your head? If you are you might…

Last week I increased my daily calorie goal by 300 but stopped deducting my exercise calories. My average calorie burn through intentional exercise has been staying around 300 calories per day. I also started looking at my average calories for the week instead of looking at each day individually. I noticed over the weekend…

Last week I increased my daily calorie goal by 300 but stopped deducting my exercise calories. I also started looking at my average calories for the week instead of looking at each day individually. I noticed over the weekend that I was not obsessing all day about what I was going to eat the way I was when I was deducting…

Had my highest calorie burn since…

The weather here was unseasonably warm for much of the past week. 2 days in a row with record high temps (88F and 89F). The trees and plants are getting confused. Most of my tulips and some of my phlox are blooming already, and my pear tree is getting really close. At least 2 weeks earlier than usual. I have most of my…

@RubyRed427 - I'm excited for you! I'm sure it will be such a relief getting rid of that cast!!

GinLee61 Saturday weigh-in PW: 161 CW: 160.8 I'll take it. Even a small loss is better than none.

@minstrelofsarcasm - I need to postpone my Friday weigh-in to Saturday for this week. I don't have access to my scale today. Thanks!

Date: 4/12 Exercised?: 43 minutes of aerobics with toning Calories?: Y Tracked?: Y Pass Days Used - 3/3 My future self will thank me for keeping my food diary and for exercising daily. My future self will thank me even more if I can get back to less snacking in the afternoons.

I weigh myself once per week. Once I switch to maintenance, whenever that may be, I am committed to weighing myself at least every 2 weeks. I lost a significant amount of weight (over 90 lbs) twice before in my life and both times, once I reached my goal, I gradually let old habits back in and I stopped weighing myself.…

It depends on your starting weight and height. The more you weigh the more you will need to lose before seeing a difference. I started at 230 lbs and I'm 5'3". I lost 12-15 lbs before I could notice a difference in the mirror, but my clothes felt loser after about 8 lbs. Now I am within 20 lbs of goal and I see a…

Date: 4/8 Exercised?: N Calories?: N Tracked?: Y Pass Days Used - 3/3 Didn't feel up to exercising and as a result ended up going slightly over my calorie goal for the day. We had our Easter brunch with the family a day early so DH and I will have a quiet Easter this year. It's supposed to be sunny without much wind so I'm…

@SunnyDays930 My daughter's doctor put her on something for weight loss that seems to do the same thing, she has no desire to eat. I'm not sure what it is but I know it's not wegovy as her insurance wouldn't cover it. Whatever her doctor prescribed it's a medication taken orally. He prescribed it in October and she's lost…

GinLee61 Friday weigh-in PW: 162.1 CW: 161 Whew! Some decent movement downward for a change is motivating. I reduced my exercise a bit and tried to keep my calorie intake more consistent, with the exception of one day when I ate at maintenance. Instead of evaluating my calories on a day to day basis I have started looking…
