I couldn't agree more with @StatChicBayes and @oldephatguy - good stuff! If you are going to use the MFP progress chart, look for a downward trend. Back it up to a month, 3 months, 6 - whatever you need to see that overall progress. Remember that our scales are measuring in 10th's of a unit. Fluctuations are going to be…

Wow @maureenkhilde - how frustrating. Glad you have some answers and a plan.

Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have…

I'm a newbie on this board. Don't know if they break the rules, but I find them helpful! I just scribbled your salad idea down - thank you! Assume you are them raw?

Jumping in! Thanks for having me! SW: 146.3 GW: 146.0 (you'll see why in a sec) Day/Weight/Comment 11/09 (S). 146.3 I was firmly in the 147's the week prior (147.1 on the 8th) This is a whoosh. Hoping it is the result of a modification to my WOE, where I've added fruit to breakfast and a handful of greens to lunch. 11/10…

@tiabirdie56 - Thanks for that link! The whole purpose of me doing lunges and squats is to strengthen knees. I see there's some other muscles I need to add! Saved!

Not really. It stayed in that low range for 3 days - and I checked multiple times, so it wasn't a scale malfunction. The only thing I changed up was that I stopped the intermittent fast and started eating breakfast again, adding 100-200 calories to the day. I was exercising on schedule, and not feeling poorly. I had been…

Happy Birthday @Connie7355

Today's a rest day. Slept poorly last night, so timing is perfect for an early to bed 😊

@realgirl177 - agree with @ellie117. For me it's strength training using body resistance and throwing some cardio between sets. I do 25-30 minutes each of 3 days followed by a day of rest. The diary entry is going in as cardio to show a calorie burn because MFP won't show calories for strength exercises. But I'm seeing…
