7549 steps. 1646 calories. Tomorrow morning's weigh in could be a bounce back up; I had a lot of sodium at dinner. Yesterday's weigh in had me below goal, so I am dreading the bounce back above when I have claimed to have made it. It won't be long until even the bounces up stay at or below 164.

Yeah, it's abounce up all right - 167.2. That's 4.2 pounds higher that 2 days ago. I know it's water; crazy high salt content in the Rice A Roni and shrimp I had last night. It still bugs me as it took me from under goal to well over. I keep saying I am going to be patient, but after having one weigh in below goal I am really eager to squash the higher swings; I am thinking of doing a couple of really low days this week.

I found out that I weigh 175 today. All my scales have confirmed this. Part of the problem is that I have been wearing my heavy pants in previous weigh ins. This time, I stripped down to my underwear. I will continue to do this in the future. I started off with french toast today. Another part of the reason may be water rentension. However, .I have been drinking little water.

I weigh before getting in the shower with nothing on. Another goal I might go for is to get my "doctor visit weight" (dressed and after lunch) down to 164 or below. That would probably be a naked morning weight of ~158.

Here was my menu today which turned out to be 2300 calories. I will plant to do my menu for tomorrow today. I am concerned about me losing more weight. Lets see if my weight bounces back up tomorrow. At this point, I would rather gain a couple pounds instead of losing any more weight. If I make my exersize a routine, I will have to eat a bit more in calories to keep myself from losing weight.

MoxieDoxie,
Wow! Heck of a list. I just track everything and keep an eye on total calories and macros and try to work in some veggies. I seem to get enough protein and fiber just from my ordinary choices (which I have adjusted to limit unhealthy snacks/fat). It helps that I don't eat mammal meat so my proteins tend to be lean.

I've been told by someone here that I'm unwelcome on this thread. But I just wanted to let you know that I've been eating 1300 calories a day and am losing weight slower. So, long story short, I've been doing this in a much healthier way and I feel much better. Just wanted to let you know.

Weighed 165.0 this morning. Settled there after looking like it was going to be 164.8 The trend is still right. I want to see more low numbers. 4 days ago it was 163.0, but 2 days it was 167.2, so I should be happy with 165; it's probably fairly accurate.

Running monologue continues...
6,665 steps. 1599 calories. Did better on veggies today with the broccoli, but still need more variety. Part of a piece of apple pie since a whole pie was on sale for $3.14 on account of Pi Day. That was so good! My kids need to make that disappear; not sure how accurate my guess at amount is or whether I picked an entry that is even close to it. Since I am still trying to eat at a deficit of 250 or so (not sure how much I burn), worst case is that I lost slightly less than most days.

My weight is 177 on one scale, which is the one I think is more accurate, and 178 on the other. So I will say I am at 177 pounds. What happened to those days where my weight was into the 180s? My caloric intake is about 2400 calories and a bit more due to a coffee break I took at a restaurant. The sugars and cream add up quickly. I also ate one half of a slice of pie. Moderation, right? I think I should of just of had a yogurt smoothie with protien powder. This would of filled out my nutritional requirements better.
I stopped using my second and expensive but still inaccurate activity tracker. I sent it back and instead purchased another one to try. This one is at a much more affordable price. I hope it does not count like 1500 steps when I move just from the sofa to the kitchen and back. So I cannot post my steps taken today. I should be able to start doing this tomorrow.

5002 steps. 1601 calories. I have already finished for the day because I am fasting until after a blood test in the morning to see if I have succeeded in lowering my LDL with all the oatmeal, walking and avoiding saturated fat. I had a piece of apple pie today, which did have a bit of that fat I have been avoiding; hopefully it doesn't spike the level overnight (pretty sure it doesn't work that way). I will get another weight in the morning also.

162.6 - another new low; only by 0.4 pounds but slowly progressing in that direction is what I want right now. Since my goal is to stay at or below 164, this is a "made goal" weight, though I won't really feel I have made it until I go a few weigh ins without seeing anything above 164.

Another running monologue day - bumping up my calories by 100 to 1700. That doesn't mean I will always hit it to start with.

12021 steps. 1679 calories. With all the steps, it's almost like I didn't bump it up yet. It's time to really slow the loss.

I weighed 178 this morning. I over ate desserts today. I ended up with 2400 calories. I have had to purchase groceries for all of this week, but did not purchase any. I have none left, so instead of shopping, I ended up getting a pizza. I have to get out of this mood that I am in, and start back eating better healthy foods. 1,981 steps taken. This is with my new handy dandy Chinese knock off fitness tracker.
In the past, I weighed myself with the clothes that I normally wear. Now I do not do that anymore. This made at least a two pound difference. When I was wearing jeans, this would boost my weight by another couple pounds. Then there is water retention. This can make anther noticeable difference. These are the factors that I need to keep in mind. |

10322 steps. 1694 calories. Weigh in the morning after my first two days of having bumped up to 1700, but I got in over 12000 steps yesterday and over 10000 today so I don't expect it to be much of a shock. I should actually keep losing, just very slowly.
