My scale said 154 today. I had a ton of water last night. I’ve been eating a lot of fast food these past few days. Yesterday I had 6 slices of Papa Johns pizza for dinner. It’s probably a bit of stress eating. Today I’m not very hungry and everything I’ve eaten will equal to around 1200 calories. So I’m back on track.

Rounded up to 159 this morning and having a really bad start to the day. I have to turn this around pronto! Still (barely) in maintenance range but the recent upward trend is not good.

Still maintaining around 205. It's been a rough week work wise, and haven't been able to squeeze in a workout since the weekend, but my activity level is still where it needs to be by getting my miles in. And diet wise it's been all good. My calves are killing me from walking yesterday, because I wore ballet flats and I guess walking nearly 5 miles in next to no sole makes my calves sore, lol. I'm taking it easy on the steps today and wearing well soled shoes. Going to rest, ice, heat, stretch, etc., and I'm sure it will be okay tomorrow.

I may or may not try to work out. I also thought I might try to go to a yoga class down the street instead of a gym workout.

It's going well. It's not intense, but I'm not intending it to be. This is about shifts in my habits, and weight loss over time. So anything drastic would not be the goal.

The low cost gym scheme turned out to cost a fortune for very little time and attention in the gym,so I vented my fury at the people who pushed the scheme to me,it's not low cost why didn't they say that and not waste my time.I am seeing the diabetic nurse for a weigh in on May 2nd,I will start a serious diet then and start exercising on my own at home and try to walk 30 mins a day.I prefer to do yoga anyway so when I can afford I will join a yoga class.

I was 150 yesterday. Yesterday wasn’t good. I didn’t weigh this morning. So far today I’ve had around 860 calories. I think I’m just going to have soup for dinner. I am in a pattern of one day at 1200 calories and one or two days at 2000 or so calories. I am just maintaining now.

I didn't weigh this morning. I suspect I was at or very close to 160. I went to the gym early AM and earlier tonight plus only had ~900 calories today, trying to cancel out a recent day or two of over eating. I will weigh in the morning and see if I can't get back on more of an even keel...

Lost another pound. The scale is definitely moving in the right direction. I'm glad. I ordered out a couple of times this past week but I made healthy choices. It was wonderful cause I had great meals and I didn't have to cook. Will try to do that more often. Got another FitBit to replace the one that was broken. This one seems to have a few issues. I'll remain hopeful that I can work with support to resolve them. Plan to focus on hitting my step goal every day.

157 this morning; very happy to see that. Now to see if I can keep from having wild swings in what I eat for a while...

Rounded up to 158. Instead of Friday being the first day paddling again, tomorrow will be. Probably not very intense as I should ease into it and my son, who hasn't paddled SUP yet, is going with me.

I was 163 and am now 156. I last checked two days ago. I'm trying to lose about 20 pounds initially. I ate yogurt and bread, drank tea so far. Tonight I will eat a big salad. I started dieting about one week ago and feel quite good. I am trying to exercise 30 minutes by walking a few times a week. I was eating at buffets before and don't feel the need to binge or eat anything special. I ate what I wanted before and am now trying to cut down on my portions and what I eat. Overall, I want to lose about 40 pounds. I am getting sick and tired of being overweight and have been for the past few years. I can't fit into my clothes and realized I'm really overweight. In the meantime, I'm trying to do some self-care by dying my hair and wearing makeup. I also am trying to clean my apartment. I just went through 6 months of psychosis and the medication is finally working- I receive shots of Maintena-Abilify. I am doing fine and am happy anyways despite being fat.

I was 153 today. I really have to get back on track. I’ve been eating a ton of food and drinking a lot of soda and other drinks almost every hour.

Ended up going a bit overboard yesterday, but the gain was mostly from eating a heavy dinner late; I don't think calories was that much over; I couldn't accurately count dinner. 159 this morning. Paddling this afternoon.

I didn’t weigh myself today but my calculator says I had 1,170 calories. I had a little bit more than that because I didn’t calculate the seasonings on my shrimp and vegetables. I’m guessing tomorrow I’ll be around 151 or 152.

Paddled over 4 miles today. Eagles were very active; saw 3 up close and a few more further away. I weighed before I hopped in the shower tonight, after having dinner out, and I was 159. May not weigh again before Wednesday.

I weighed myself and lost another two pounds. I am happy. I think eating the right foods and moving more is helping. I eat only when absolutely necessary. I'm not really walking every day either but just eating less and the right types of food.

So today I was weighed by the diabetic nurse,and the good news is I haven't gained any weight,though of course,having indulged in forbidden foods,the bad news is that I haven't lost any either.I promised the diabetic nurse that this month I will lose weight and bring my blood sugars down and exercise to lower my blood pressure.I intend to keep my promise.I am going to be strict and disciplined.

A little after midnight I weighed 159; still flirting with the top of my range. Tomorrow I will go to the gym early in the morning and paddle in the afternoon. Also planning to paddle this weekend and probably also work out.If I can keep the appetite in check, I should have no trouble dropping back into the mid 150s.

155 today. My depression is really bad and I haven’t been watching what I’m eating at all. I’ve been drinking a ton of water so I’m sure the majority of the 10 pounds I’ve put on is just water weight. I’ve stopped my topamax again so I can hopefully jump start the loss of appetite side effect. The only thing is the withdrawal from the Topamax is taking a toll on me emotionally.

@Mountaindewed - Sorry to hear you aren't doing well. Are you talking to your doctor about the med changes?

158 this morning. Paddled over five and a half miles plus put in about an hour of cardio yesterday, but ate more than usual.
