Weighed when I was up around midnight and was over 157. I went over badly 3 days in a row, so that was no shock. i was probably around or slightly under 157 this morning at usual weigh in time. Still well within my range but will try to drop 3 or 4 pounds in the nex couple of months.

Started going to the gym again recently. Weight went from about 155.4 down to 152.4. Gym is closed today though due to snow and ice. I took a walk to the pharmacy and back, might do yoga later

I was 148.8 today. I’ve been really stressed lately. Plus I am dealing with severe PMS. So I’ve been eating horribly these past 3 days. I did drink 2 liters of water today and I didn’t drink any soda. I’m hoping to get back on track. Or at least maintain at 150 for awhile.

Today was able to walk a fair amount since it stopped raining and walked a total of 45-60 minutes.

Odd one this morning after the recent overages. I rounded up slightly to 155. I expected a couple of pounds higher. That was before going to the gym. I expect a lot of sweets and whatnot around the office today and we have a catered lunch - salad, pasta and desserts. I only had fat free yogurt with applesauce for 170 calories for breakfast and then did 50 minutes of cardio, so unless I go really overboard today should be fine.

have you guys ever tried or found success in just eating less every day? for losing weight on an AP
as opposed to eating like 1200-1500 calories per day? |

Without tracking it is hard to be sure. I don't plan my menus every day; I pretty much eat what I want, track it and make decisions about what else I can have and amounts as I go. So, yes, I do just eat less, but I make sure it really is less by setting a target lower than what I have been eating, tracking and staying under it or nearly so.

I was bad today. I guess I will find out how bad in the morning. 158 wouldn't shock me.

I went to Burger King and then I ate half of a small ice cream roll cake. I ate a normal dinner. My PMDD is rough and I’ve just been struggling.

I said 158 wouldn't shock me. 155 kind of does. About 4 of the last 6 days I went *way* over and my weight has remained pretty steady. Daily goal is a deficit right now, but it seems like I would have bounced up a little. I'll take it, but it's odd.

This broken record is getting ridiculous. Way over yesterday. Still 155 today. It's crazy how much of this is mental. It's harder to control urges when they don't seem to do any harm. But I know this will catch up with me. I do need to put it in perspective - I am going over a goal that would be a deficit, so "way over" probably isn't bad as it seems. I really want to be in the bottom half of my maintenance range instead of the middle (yeah, bring out the tiny violins) and seem to lack the discipline to get there. It's just annoying.

I was 151.4 today. Yesterday I was 149. I’m about 1.5 days away from period. So the 2 pound weight gain from yesterday is probably PMS weight gain. Yesterday I got dizzy around 6PM and I realized I had eaten pretty much nothing but chips and salsa all day. I had a decent size dinner but it wasn’t a ton of food.
Today I’ve gotten back on track and so far I’ve had 740 calories. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

156! Finally, it ticked up to prove to me I am human and will gain weight if I eat too much. Now, to react properly and quit eating like a crazy man. Yesterday was about the worst yet; way, way over.

Well, I actually gained too much weight. There was a large box of fig cookies. I ate all of them in record time. This can be related to the increase of Olanzapine. I am just going to have to get used to feeling hungry. Getting back to exercise will help. Last time I weighed, I was at 182. Hopefully some of this is part of the normal swings in weight. I will check this out by weighing myself every day, starting today.

@Tucson - good to see you back! I have been fortunate to have few med changes, though a change in supplier of one of my generics does seem to make me more prone to slight nausea. Shifting more of my calories to earlier in the day helps with that, but then the trick is staying within goal that night when running low/out of calories.

Did well yesterday, though it required a long stint of cardio. Rounded down to 155 this morning. Cardio was last night, so probably a bit of dehydration this morning.

Yesterday when I weighed myself I was 148 exactly. Then I messed up yesterday and today. I’ll get back on track tomorrow.
