I haven't posted an update this month yet, because I've just been hovering between 210 and 211, but I'm almost past my busy time and ready for a whoosh again. Worked about 50 hours this week, but was able to get ready for tomorrow, so I get to take today off, yay! So tomorrow is still busy and then I'm past the crazy time and can relax a bit. Bring on the whoosh!

I played a little game in my mind this morning because I sooooo wanted to stay in bed instead of go to work. I said if I've lost weight I'm going to work. Got on the scale. Going to work HA!

Follena: I love the idea of your weigh-in determining going to work :lol: I could see it backfiring though lol
Lacerta: Way to go on your whoosh!

Lots of lifting heavy things from yardwork today will probably cause a slight gain tomorrow from water retention :shrug:

La la laaaaaa ... this weight loss is sure slowing doooooowwwnn. No matter. It's just staying on plan no matter what. Today is my last day before a 3 day weekend so I'm happy.

The last few days have been a megawhoosh, but I can't imagine that continuing. I'll likely be up tomorrow, because I usually am on Saturdays. But maybe Sunday or Monday, I'll reach the 5 pound mark.

I imagine I’ll be going up again cuz I never lose one whole pound overnight :D

So I had a big rebound today. It is mostly water, so we'll see how long it takes to come back down.

Managed to maintain my loss by doing some IF yesterday. Just had a huge lunch and a small supper. I like doing 2 meals per day on weekends. But I won't be doing that today. 3 meals is my happy place.

Stayed low carb last night at my family supper. Weight still jumped up a bit but in the words of the greatest valley girl ... whatever!!!

Partway back down today. Maybe the rest tomorrow? We'll see.

Lacerta, Casey, & Follena: Way to go! Y'all are kicking some serious butt!

Some more partway back down, but nowhere close to my low again yet. I'm craving salt a lot right now, and I had bad muscle cramping on my shins the other day, so I'm wondering if I'm a little deficient in sodium or potassium right now.

Edited because I called them shinsplints, but it isn't the bone that hurts, it is the muscle around the bone, so not shinsplints.

Ophelia: that's awesome you hit your goal on the nose. Pretty cool considering you're feeling under the weather. I tend to hang on to every ounce of weight when I'm sick. In January you are in the 160s my friend. Ahhhhh how wonderful.
Red: thanks and you are kicking butt too!!!
Lacerta: I hope the muscles in your shins improve. Do you do a lot of walking? I got plantar fasciitis in my heels when I was heavier and jogging. I think my heels were telling me something. But seriously the only way I could get rid of it was with icing 4 Xs day.

Follena: Come join us in the next thread. The way these ones work is once someone hits the 5 pound mark, they make a new thread and everyone resets that weight as their new starting weight and tries to lose 5 pounds again. New thread is at

And yes, I do walk a fair amount, but I think this cramping was potassium related. I've had a problem with potassium deficiency before, and after eating lots of potassium rich foods for the last day and a half, the cramping seems to have gone away, so I suspect that was what was going on. I probably need to get a supplement.
