I try not to weigh myself except for official weigh in days but I had to see if I was trending back down. 177.5 yesterday! Not at my monthly low yet but good to see the travel weight is coming off quickly. I'm more hopeful now that I can make my monthly goal. Less than 4 lbs away
My weight has been pretty much the same (hanging at 183 right now), and a lot of it is definitely because I'm not watching as close. Lately I've been doing the work, sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep cycle, and that means no time to make meals, and that means eating whatever food other people bring to work (usually desserts, pizza, etc.) and wolfing it down before going back to work.
I'm no trying to make excuses so much as vent frustration that I need to obviously find a way to work with this because it's not going away any time soon. Hey, at least I haven't had a huge gain.
Hope everyone's October is going well! I likely won't meet my goal, but I hope to get close-ish.

Total Loss for Week Three:
Really quiet thread this month. I haven't been posting every day, as I've been just hanging out in the 172s with nothing much going on, plus working extra hours. But this morning, I don't know what happened. Maybe I woke up short a kidney or something. We'll see if it sticks, but for now, I'm marking that off as goal achieved. I am now my high school weight. I'm not even going to set a new goal for October, I just want to keep this one through the rest of the month. I also was curious, so took a few measurements. I've lost inches too. My unofficial waist measurement is now 33", which puts me below the 1/2 my height recommendation for the first time. This is getting real. I've still got a lot of lower belly to lose, though. That measurement is a lot bigger. But progress is being made. Yay!

Despite being back in the 7s, I was still very happy to see today's weight, because it means yesterday's wasn't a fluke, and I really did lose that 2 pounds. I'm guessing I'll hover around 170 until the end of the month now, which is perfectly fine with me. I'm less than 3 pounds away from my 2019 goal, with over 2 months to go. I might actually make it.
Sorry for MIA! We have been testing and setting up for Open Enrollment (I am in the benefits department), so I have been swamped. I am up a little today at 312.8, but that is probably salt and stress. LOL
Riestrella, Atarimae miss you. Hope all is well.
Keala, steady is ok especially when you're stressed out.
Mara, hang in there! Work will get better in a few weeks!
Lacerta, yup! You've lost those pounds! Congrats!
VickieLou,
One day at a time. We can do this. Thank you all for the support.

Hi lovely ladies! I finally have a little time in the morning to swing by and have a proper-ish post. Thanks to happy scale, I've still been keeping track of numbers daily!
ether ~ You're doing well! Yay for the travel weight going down! Very afraid of what my numbers will look like on our two week belated honeymoon in December. EEK! Keala ~ A stall is still better than a gain! At least, that is how I like to look at things. Before I started meal prepping, the work/sleep thing used to really affect me too, so I can DEFINITELY relate. Lacerta ~ Your numbers have been amazing! Vickie ~ Wow, you're doing well. Congrats!

Eep. So the next two weeks will be parent teacher conferences. The upside? One less hour of school daily. The downside? Talking to parents! AH. It's always intimidating; I never know what to expect!
Anyway, I've been failing to actually POST my numbers, but I've been in the 149s most of this week, and revealed 147.3 yesterday and 147.0 today. I'm not sure if I'm undereating because I'm too lazy to clean the wisdom socket...on weekdays especially, I've been doing OMAD for the most part! I only drink calories at work since my lunch is only 30 min. Healing is fine though! No pain anymore. Happy Monday!
Hi all, I'm back looking for some inspiration and accountability. Mid-May I was at 136.6 (down 51.4lbs) but I've been less diligent about food and have allowed my weight to creep back up to 144.8. I need to reset and refocus on eating habits. I haven't been way off, in terms of food choices, but I'm eating more than I need to maintain. Fitness is in a good place, but I don't want to workout to eat. I have made some big fitness goals over the last month - made it to the summit of Mount Whitney (22 miles, 14,505 ft) and running regularly again post-ACL/MCL tear (4+ miles/3x week).
Just here to say what the heck is up with this morning?? Had a terrible time sleeping last night and night sweats and woke up this morning to almost a 2 lb. bump up. Just one of those days, I guess. Food is all planned for today - hope I feel better later and up to the gym. Have a great (or at least better than me) day. Lol.
Welcome back SnowMama! Lemme just say I totally can relate! Good on you for catching the weight creep earlier on. It took me a few months and 20 pounds to return.
This morning: 148.0 from 147.0 yesterday. I wouldn't be upset if 148 is the norm this week, since I was hovering an average of 149 last week. Today is the pumpkin carving activity with the kiddos, yay! Hopefully we have a great parent turnout. I'm the teacher in charge, so fingers crossed everything runs smoothly.
Thanks to happy scale, I've still been keeping track of numbers daily!
