Dreamer2012 I hope you are going somewhere warm Have fun on your holiday!

SeeMyFeet, I'm the same way. I've been lucky so far this challenge that my weekly numbers have all been consistently dropping, but I always use a spreadsheet to track my 7-day average and make a graph so I can see if my weight is trending downward even on the 'up' days.

See, column C is the target weight for the day, D is actual weight, E is the average weight for the last 7 days, and F is my calorie intake for the day. Little neurotic, maybe, but I loooove having all the information laid out in front of me like that. Keeps me from freaking out if I'm up a pound or two some days.

Down a little more water weight this week! Hoping to be cruising to goal by next week!

Ugh. Hitting a rough patch here. Suddenly I just want to eat every cookie, snack cake, tub of ice cream, or candy bar around...usually when I crave something like crazy I just drink water and I'm fine but the past few days my mind is so clouded that I don't even REMEMBER to breathe and drink water. Today I weighed in officially 10 pounds down from where I started, andj ust like that I feel like I'm back to square one as far as my emotions go! Ugh!

Total Loss: 3.8 lbs

Down 2.2 this week, after a few weeks of stall. I recently started a bodyweight strength program, so I was patient during the stall. I had convinced myself last night that no matter what today's weigh-in showed, I would raise my daily calories. Now, of course, I'm not so sure. I think I'll keep them where I'm at for now. I plan on adding more activity either this week or next (walking mostly) so I will evaluate my results from there.

I am so bummed out. I have really let myself get too relaxed over diet and exercise. -- There is noway I am going to meet my goal.... I'll see how low I can go though. Makes me sad that I screwed up and took 6 weeks off...I could be 6 pounds lighter, not 3 pounds heavier. That is nearly 10 pound difference where I should be today.

Rant over

Soooo, I am recommitting today. I already walked and today is my fast day. We are going out to dinner but I will order some salmon and side veggies.

When I cut my insane eating cycle I usually do it by fasting one day; somehow it helps to cut the cravings.

I hope everyone is doing well (better than I ).

BigChief - I LOVE the graph. I have this excel spreadsheet with about 10 sheets on it... lol... I'm going to add a average column to my numbers. Thanks for the great idea.

I am certainly living up to my name in 2014.... geesh

Well, that sucks. I've been on-plan all week, but my weight has been bouncing up and down like crazy. Water retention issue of some sort, I'm guessing. My 7-day average looks fine, but today's weight looks baaaaaaaaad.
