I've been going through my old weight loss records to look for trends & to remind myself that I CAN lose weight!👍 Here's what I found out...

Actively started using the app in August of 2021 @ 175.6#
Sept. average wt= 167.1
Oct= 161.3
Nov= 153.0
Dec=145.4

2022
Jan=138.1
Feb=133.7
Mar=140.0 (got a new 'smart'(ass) scale)
Apr=136.1
May=133.2
June=130.9
July=129.0
Aug=126.3
Sept=124.6
Oct=124.1
Nov=126.0
Dec=127.3 (quit smoking on Dec. 1)

2023
Jan=130.0 (switched from Enbrel to Humira for PsA)
Feb=132.5
Mar=133.9
Apr=137.9
May=143.8
June=150.2 (switched back to Enbrel)

My original 'goal' weight was 150. Then I lowered it to 130 after I successfully lost that first 25#. Never really intended to get to the 120s but actually stayed there for 6 months!! My calorie budget was usually 1000/day (or less) till I reached maintenance where I upgraded to about 1200-1400/day. Then I quit smoking and changed biologics and basically took a 'break' from counting cals. WOWZA! That was NOT smart!

I was VERY strict with myself that whole first year and a half, with counting cals, watching macros and exercising at home nearly every day (mostly aerobic, with some strength)

Today's situation: heavier, less muscle strength (less working out), more stiffness/pain, less ROM. Back on Enbrel for about a month now. Still NOT SMOKING (though I yearn to smoke every single day). I'm pretty sure that if I started again, I would lose wt cuz I would go out for a smoke INSTEAD of eating something...but so far....N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Even)😂

I know what worked to get my weight down last time, but I feel that the calories were just too low most of the time, and I really didn't begin to focus on protein until about a year into the journey. My plan is still CICO, but with more calories allowed. I see how many of you are being successful with weight training, and I wonder if I should look into spending time at the gym/pool that's about 20+ miles away.

Sorry this post is so long and detailed, but it's for my personal reflection and also to ask for ideas/advice. BTW, I've been cleared by cardiologist and my labs are looking good.

“I used to just crastinate, but I got so good, I went pro.”

My plans for this brand new day! I plan to...

*make the most of it!
*watch for blessings & write them down
*log every bite/sip that I take
*check this app throughout the day to see how others are doing
*drink more water/green tea
*exercise for 20 minutes with YouTube video

That's my list for today!
What are YOU up to?
