Weigh In 27
SW: 262
LW: 256
CW: 254
I’ve decided that, even though I didn’t start at 262, I would put it as my starting weight because it’s the highest weight I have ever (to my knowledge) been at. I can think of reasons why not to switch it like that, but honestly, my focus right now is to ‘come off’ that weight. So why not have it at the starting weight?
I’m happy to have another loss this week, but I think it all has to do with water. Honestly, I’ll probably see a bit of a gain next week because I’ve been put on medication to kick start my TOM and then I’ll be back on the pill. Fun, fun, but we do what we must.
Last week I went to see an endocrinologist and a dietician (which I’ll write more about later) and, from what they have said, I’m not actually doing too badly with food. There are things I need to change around like eating more fruit and making my evening meal smaller, but I’m definitely on the right track.
So this week I am focusing on portion control and sticking to eating on schedule. I have started a new food diary to bring in to the dietician the next time I see her and I have also bought some things that will help me with portion control. (Like individual serves of things instead of bulk containers.) It costs a little more, admittedly, but I’m willing to pay the price until I’m better with things.
Things have calmed down here, thankfully, but in calming down, a bug that has been trying to drag me down for a week has finally caught hold. I wanted to start exercising an increased amount as soon as I started with everything else, but the energy is definitely lacking. I’m trying to move around a lot, but going for a jog isn’t on the agenda until at least tomorrow morning.
But once I’m started… Rain or shine.
How is everyone else doing?

WooHoo! for the loss!
It irks me, too, to purchase invidual servings, but there are some foods I’m better off purchasing that way. We’ll save in the long term with better health!

Well done on the loss!

Thank you, ladies.
Cammy - Very true.

My weight is bouncing all over. But I have a cold and I have a stomach bug trying to take control. I’ve done better on eating the last couple of days but I still feel crappy. I’m taking a rest day today and getting back on track tomorrow.
Way to go on a loss. And your reasoning for upping the SW makes complete sense to me. Though my starting weight this year is 260 or something like that, in my mind my SW is always that 283 from when I was my heaviest.

The Headcold From Hell hasn’t been leaving me alone, so I know what you mean.
Yeah, I think the heaviest weight will always represent that *one* point we never want to get back to, thus it’s always the SW in a way.
