Three weeks in a row I have lost 1.2 pounnds. Four weeks ago I gained 0.2 lb. This month feels very consistent. I am always most comfortable with consistency as it feels sustainable.
I still have not regained the ground I lost at Christmas but I am inching my way there again. To get back to my lowest weight in December I have about another 8 pounds to go. I remind myself that this is the long haul and not about the short bursts. The weight gain in December happened over 3 days of craziness and then in the first two weeks of April I gained 10 pounds. The path is not without its ups and downs.
I am in the midst of planning the first ever Used Book Sale for our local Women's Shelter. We are flying by the seat of our pants. It is a go June 24-26 come what may!

You're doing great Carol, those eight pounds will soon be history.
Good luck on your book sale; having worked for a Hotline, I know how important Women's Shelters are.

Dieting is a big job of ups and downs. We all feel that. It’s scary and exciting. Good luck!

I agree with your statement about ups and downs! My focus is for the long haul! I'm not allowing myself to get discouraged when numbers go up a pound or two (they always do for me) I focus on the "week" or the "month"! You are really killing it this month! Great work!!! 💪 💯 🌎 🫶

3dkids2- I keep a spreadsheet that shows daily calories and weight and then at the end of the week I put it on another part of the spread sheet that shows the week. The weeks are in months so then I take how I did in the month and put it in a column that compares me to the last three years in that month as to gaining/losing! I find having the big picture instantly at my fingertips to be helpful. It also keeps me from thinking a day or two here or there don't matter. They do- it is the day in and day out consistency that really matters over time! I am at 3.8 years of data at the moment! Thank you for your encouraging words. I really appreciate them.

Kenna - you mean the spreadsheet extraordinaire? It is a habit now and takes almost no time about 5 min max in the morning. I also track specific habits to make sure I am doing them. I find reviewing the information really informs how I approach my weight loss. I now know that one giant gain over a couple of days can literally take months to rectify. Helps me to not do 'blow outs' very often.

@59Carol: I think the spreadsheet is a great idea! I am only using the FS weight chart as a guideline. I think I could add so much "other" information. As you said - just quick notes- that would help me in the long run! Especially on the days when I am tired of it ALL!
Tired of counting
Tired of weighing myself
Tired of not having the result I want
Tired of thinking about it ALL the time
.....Tired....

I do a spreadsheet that I check off each morning about the day before- did I exercise, did I drink water (how much), did I meditate (how long?), did I track my food, did I eat at night (scale of 1 to 3!), did I spend time outside (how much? my goal is 210 min per week). That sort of thing. Whatever is important to me to do. I find that I want to say I did it so it motivates me to do it!
Then my other spreadsheet is about actual weight numbers. I fill both out each morning before breakfast.
