It is so nice to see this thread so active!
The 158 didn't just stay a day like I was joking, I have dropped down to 157.4 this morning. Honestly I am still eating VERY high fiber (some days up to 40 grams of fiber) and keeping the calories relatively high at maybe 1800 or 1900. I try to keep myself moving-doing things, staying busy so that helps too.
KStrong I am an "old school jotter" myself. LOL I literally write it on a piece of paper also including meds! I just have one med to take twice a day (anxiety med) but I will jot down I took it in case I forget "did I take this?" It becomes so routine you can be on auto pilot or something so yes I jot that down too! I do take melatonin and mark that I take that each night. I think that is also because it's become part of my jotting routine.
I don't use food scales. but I do use LOTS of measuring cups. My daughter does too so we have several sets in use all the time. LOL
Thanks for all your praise, yes honestly I thought in the past I would be trying to catch up to you (but thought I would never do it) especially when you wanted to be in the 140's. I know you will get down to the 150's soon enough.
On the inches lost..dang 5 inches in one month is ah-mazing!! Your body is truly unreal!
Wannabehealthy Happy Belated Birthday!
Aww, don't feel inadequate. At least you are trying and have maintained what you've already lost! It seems to me once we make this a habit of controlling the calories it gets much easier. Once we let it slide it does take effort to get back on track. You've got this!
MrBadger 4.75lb is awesome! You prove my theory most of our weight loss is calorie deficit. Excercise and activity helps burn more calories, but it's mostly the food intake. I know that is the case for me anyway!
GettinFit Thanks! And good job on your loss as well! Being diligent with the exercise is awesome! 
L&L's Mom on the new low! I am glad that you reported it so we'll have a good record. I was looking back at the 2021 thread a few days ago back when I had finally gotten down to 159 and you were fairly recently getting down into the 190's, I think. You've come a long way "baby"! 
So happy for you!!! I wish I could have held on to your coattails but my body AND LIFE had other ideas. It is like we've switched places in just over a year.
so I'm pretty happy about that, in spite of being completely sedentary with my damaged knee. that has pretty much healed now, so hopefully should be able to get out to do some exercise this weekend.
