"It's funny because we might go to Boston again and visit friends and family which we haven't seen since that time.... so that would mean, to them, I will look about the same. They will have missed me at 165 and missed me at 243. They will think I look stable, not this balloon that got deflated, re-inflated and deflating again."
I hear you. Nice to know I am not the only one who obsesses over that kind of stuff.
I have been tracking my weight off and on for years, mainly "off" when I am not on plan, except occasionally, and then religiously when I am "on" plan.
When I look back on pictures, I look to see how heavy I was and then run to see how much I weighed.
I drive myself crazy.

_____________________________________
Okay so the last few months I have steadily been losing 5 1/2 - 6 1/2 lbs.
I keep my walking minutes at around 80-85 on average for every day.
My calories were at 1800 on average every day for a few months except April where I wound up at 1955 daily average cals.
I keep an eye on them earlier in the month. But usually the last week I eat really clean, as in no fried foods, no overly salty foods, I may dip my calories a bit lower if I need to balance out any previous bad food days.
So I am sure this month will be fairly similiar.
This month I did tell myself to try to average 1700 calories though.
I do my best to keep track, but there are occasional things that creep up every once in a while where I need to throw a good guestimate at it.
Like cake for my daughters birthday. We had a sweet 16 party for her over the weekend.
I made it myself.
I spent so much time on the cake and cupcakes that I did not want to spend more time calculating all the calories into fitday.
I had a nice slice on Sat and none on Sun, Mon I had 2 bites, last night one bite.
Even though there is tons left. No ice cream. Unless its spumoni its not worth it. Even then I would measure a 1/2 cup.
We made enchiladas, salsas, guacamole, bean dip.
I would eat the mexican food normally, I just make sure I count cals. But what I usually stay away from is salty chips. I did have about a serving worth and the scale sure showed it with water retention!
Fri I had fried chicken from safeway, the previous fri I did the same. These foods are still on plan, as long as I stay within my calories, but what sucks is even though I can work things into my calories, I am more concerned with water retention. So I try to keep these fried/overly salty foods to a minimum.
My last "low weight" this month was 206.6 on June 6th. Every day since then it has been in the 207 range, except for June 15, it was 209!!
I hit a new low today, finally!!
205.8 lbs.
So I am happy about that. looking at the calendar I have 2 weeks left of this month so I need to make sure the salty foods are behind me and that I stick to really good calorie days.
Average daily calories so far this month are approximately 1690 per day, so I am not doing bad at all.
I just need to make sure that it stays that way.
