Lose weight the fun way.

Super frustrated with the scale - it went down Thursday & Friday, by ~2 lbs, then Friday I skipped breakfast and lunch (I did have 200 calories worth of crackers around 2 when I felt faint) - I had 1.5 slices of pizza, a half a slice of birthday cake, .5 scoop of ice cream, woke up on Saturday and the weight was still the same as the day before so I was stoked about my 'success'. Then, Saturday and Sunday we're NORMAL eating days, and I was moving (building & filling raised bed gardens) all day Saturday, and yesterday I woke up 2 pounds heavier. I thought it might be a fluke, so I hydrated more yesterday and today, same extra 2 pounds. UGHHHHHH

Kudos to you for still being here for yourself and for being brave enough to share.:heartpulse::revolving_hearts::sparkling_heart: Sorry about all of your frustrations. Hopefully, you enjoyed some of that birthday cake slice and spending time with your bed gardens (which are cool, btw). I hope that this week provides you with some grace, joy, and wins (no matter how small). You're still on the course :clap:?:clap:?:clap:?:sparkling_heart:

Sometimes for me after an exceptionally assertive day, typically super long walks, I notice my scale go up 2-3 lbs the next two days while my muscles are retaining the extra water. Especially if you had a little more sodium than usual the day before. I’d try drinking an absurd amount of water to flush out that retention and don’t give up! It is a rollercoaster and agree it can be very frustrating to note be able to pin it down but you’ll get there. Just eat well, move your body, and have patience.. results will come.

Well the scale didn’t budge even though I followed plate it, drank way over my water goal, and had a calorie deficit (I’m not really counting calories, but the app I use for my WayBetter challenges counts them so *shrug*). I guess I chalk it up to the sodium that was in dinner. At least I didn’t gain! But I am determined! RT 151.6! That’s my goal for tomorrow on the scale!

Radiah, it’s an “Ilanaism” that stands for “route to!” Like, this is my route to the next two pounds if my weight loss journey :)

Workouts: ran 9.5 miles on treadmill today and too dogs for 18 min walk. We training for rock and roll half in March :)

My weight did fluctuate up a little today. Should go back down in Am. Likely from the extra calories/carbs I ate today from my run. 🏃???

MJ, I’m still just counting my calories. I think that is the key to stay on the deficit

Hi all! I’m 36 and just got out of a slightly toxic 9 year relationship with someone who didn’t make me feel very good about myself. I think I started self-sabotaging my health and have been dealing with excess pounds now for the past 3 years. I’m so, so ready to start putting myself first again and am excited to transform back to my best version!
