SW=240.9
GW=229

4/1=240.9
4/2=242.6
4/3=243.3
4/4=243.3
4/5=245.7 Serves me right since I've been eating horrible since the beginning of the month
4/6=244.8
4/7
4/8
4/9=242.2 I had to give those 2 days a break bc I was going crazy. I ate bad all week, but I think I'm back on track.
4/10
4/11=241.3
4/12=241.7
***4/13***=241.7
4/14=DNW TOM and felt completely bloated this morning.
4/15=244.1 SO BLOATED!!!!!!!
4/16=241
4/17=forgot to weigh in
4/18=239.8 YAY. Keep me out of the 240s
4/19=238.9
4/20=239.8
4/21=242.5
4/22=237.1 I think its BS but we'll see what the scale says tomorrow
4/23=238.4
4/24=239
4/25=239.4
4/26=240.1
4/27
4/28
4/29
4/30=239.7

I had to take a break from the scale bc I ate so poorly all week, but I don't that taking that break helped me at all. I am have been incredibly stressed all week and that stressor will go away after Tuesday and hopefully I will be back on track after that

This month I'm aiming for -3 lbs from my lowest. I'm hoping to see lots of 4s and not so many 5s on the scale.

SW: 155.0
GW: 147

4/01: 155.0 TOM
4/02: 154.4 TOM
4/03: 154.6
4/04: 154.0
4/05: 153.6
4/06: 153.6 Getting too comfortable. Back to calorie restrictions.
4/07: 153.4 I can tell already this is not going to be my month.
4/08: 153.6 Low cal's not helping either. Wonderful.
4/09: 153.6 This is the most frustrating week. I wonder if stress is why I'm stuck even though I'm not overeating.
4/10: 154.0 Can't shake TOM weight this month. Why does this keep happening? AND I'm sore from exercise. If I can't take the weight off in a week, it ain't happening this month.
4/11: 154.0
4/12: 153.2
4/13: 153.6 I'm so tired of seeing frickin 153.6. I've never hated a number so much.
4/14: 153.0
4/15: 152.2
4/16: 151.8
4/17: 151.4
4/18: 151.8 Lack of sleep, which I assume led to a big early breakfast this morning.
4/19: 153.4 Just thankful not to see another six.
4/20: 153.2
4/21: 152.8 TOM start
4/22: 154.4
4/23: 155.8 Awful, just awful.
4/24: 155.2
4/25: DNW Scared to look.
4/26: 155.4 Noticed that sometimes I like to eat a little of everything, so I'm off counting calories and back to counting food items.
4/27: 155.4 And I broke even...
4/28: 155.6 Poor sleep last night and headaches all week, hmm. Allergies maybe.
4/29: 155.2 Stuck at post TOM weight once again.
4/30: 154.8

An overall -0.2 lb loss this month and an utter FAIL. I guess the April fool was me.

I don't eat enough poorly enough to have such lousy results. This is January all over again. Upon reviewing what I ate when I was losing in March, I kept seeing sweet potatoes, chicken thighs, and mug cake with bean flour instead of coconut flour. Everything else I'm eating is generally the same. Calories were above the target some of those loss days too, so I think I'm done with the calorie counting thing. I'm going to make a meal plan based on my best days in March in hopes that it will get me out of weight gain/maintenance mode.

Sw: 157.3
Gw: 145 (is this for the month, or overall?)

1 157.3 (Yesterday was a great day! Made good choices!)
2 157.2 (What's with this??? Annoying. How'm I going places with tenths of a pound??? Just kiddin'.)
3 157.8 (ARGH! I am not okay with this. I mean, I don't THINK I am. I *feel* slimmer. Maybe this is me eating too much fat? I have not eaten anything I shouldn't. Is it just too much of it?)

4 157.6 (I ate an enormous steak dinner last night at a lovely place. Plus drank 2 glasses of red. And ate some fancy truffle frites! TOM coming?)
5 156.6 (Is this love? Can this be real?)
6 155.5 (Ooo, baby, baby, I be ROCKING this house!)
7 154.8 (I moved the scale around the whole kitchen. I feel very "heavy." I don't know why this is. I made the family homemade clam chowder. Ours is a thinner version, so I just didn't eat the potatoes, but I still think the liquid absorbed potato starch, so maybe I have psychological fat. Le sigh.)
8 154.8 (Crummy day yesterday. Really stressed from work. Not enough water.)

4/06: 111,9 (oh well, at least it's not a gain!)
4/07: 111,5 (this means almost a half my month goal already! I know it's mostly water, and I know there is no way I can keep up the speed, but for now, I am happy!)
4/08: 112,0 (why???)

Loss this week: 2 kg - 4.4 pounds

Total loss this month: 5 kg - 11.1 pounds

Never mind me!

Kiwi, I know that feeling. I've put on almost 8 lbs since the first due to crappy eating habits (too much fast food, pizza and beer). To top it off, I go to the hospital on Thursday thru Saturday because our almost 3 year old is having surgery and someone has to stay with him while he's there.

Mama Angel, sorry to hear about your boy. Hope the surgery goes smooth!
I have gone from overweight to obese after I have had my girls. Not the pregnancy as such, because I kept being sick all the way through, but breastfeeding twins, never ever sleeping enough (EVER), and the exhaustion of it makes me eat way too much sweets. Plus thhe less I sleep, the more I eat in general. Not a good pattern when you have 5 kids under 5 and need to lose weight!

SW: ?

bump

Sorry to hear about the medical problems. Yeah, I keep saying, today is just a day and focus tomorrow. This is a much better outlook than I used to have inthe past which was, "well I already effed up....might as well go out with a bang and eat french fries...." lol. Im glad I am more focused. I take a updated picture soon so hopefully that keeps me focused on the health and not so much on the numbers

This is amazing to see!! Thank you all for posting... I'm going to join in late. But I am SO relieved to see how others have gained some and lost some in the same week/month. I was starting to get frustrated, but am starting to see that this is very normal. So thank you!!

Better late to the party than never.....
