8/16/2013 179.8

Might be stalling soon due to TOM - but might not - I can't predict what my body will do now. My weight loss was so much different 3 years ago, and more predictable. Off for 45 minutes of elliptical torture :)

2/4/13 ... 156.5
3/4/13 ... 154.0 Still sick. Bleh!!
3/11/13 ... 156.0 Feeling mostly better. Exercising again. Too much take out food.
4/1/13 ... 155.5 OK,I am done with my Easter Peeps. Weather improving.
5/9/13 ... 153.0 Just back from STL.

6/17/13 ... 154.5 Out of town for 9 of the last 14 days
6/24/13 ... 153.5 I think I'm doing better with calories.
7/1/13 ... 157.5 WHAT is going on with my body. I am not overeating!
7/15/13 ... 156.0 Ate in restaurants 3times last week. Thanks Rob. Beer ordered every time, too. Fun, delicious, but not helpful.
7/22/13 ... 158.0 HIGHEST WEIGHT SINCE POST-XMAS. AAAGH!How quickly it comes back.
7/29/13 ... 156.5 I fear my 3FC experience has been one of maintaining, not losing.
8/5/13 ... 154.5 post-Whoosh, but I will accept it as progress. Or at least not a trend in the wrong direction.
8/12/13 ... 155.5 Yep! seems the most I can manage is maintaining these days. Will I ever see the 140's?
8/20/13 ... 154.0 I ask myself yet again "Will I ever see the 140's?"

I stayed the same this week. Frustrating! I need to remember this happens at times and to stay the course.

8/23/13 275 stayed the same
8/16/13 275 Back to work this week!

Sando5 - I spend more time stalled than losing. Keep going, you're doing great :)

Coming off of a vacation and also trying to get my hormones balanced by adjusting to taking progesterone 2 weeks per month - I have heard it causes initial weight gain, but if you stick with it things balance out. Most women quit early on because of the weight gain, but I am going to tough it out unless the scale goes up too much and I see no improvement in PMS (which is why I am taking it)

And so it goes
 

Went on a short vaca and already up a few pounds even though I tried to keep within calorie goal. Must have misjudged things and not had the same amount of exercise.

But

I might change my weigh-in day of the week to Wednesday morning from Tuesday morning. I work nights, and I had my schedule changed so that I close late Monday nights. I sometimes don't get a chance to eat while at work. The last two Monday nights I have eaten a good chunk of my daily calories at like midnight, and then had to weigh in at 6am -.-

Good luck everyone!

I had a 5 lb loss this week after staying the same last week. I'm proud of myself that I stayed the course and didn't panic over the stall and I believe it shows with a good loss this week. :)
