Up two pounds...no idea why BUT not bothered...it was down and will be down again. I was OP so it was just a fluctuation that happened for one reason or another. <194.6>

Sunday, July 5: 124 - up 1 lb. I've been exceeding my planned calories for the past three days. Based on past performance, a couple of on-plan days will do the trick. Also, I really shouldn't have a problem with this weight - it's fine for me.

Yes 💪🏽 cathygeha,! lani, I love how you and Cathy know your ⬆️ and ⬇️ so well. It’s such a relief to see that this is normal. It also shows me what my boundaries are. I wouldn’t want to get to a point where I think I can get away with being off plan altogether. Monday 156.4 -Down .4

Monday, July 6: 124.6 - up 0.6 lb.
I had a good on-plan day yesterday, and am aiming for another today. Be aware and don't despair! Always a lag with eating consequences.

cathygeha, Speaking of being over/under 200 pounds: once I was on thyroid meds for low thyroid I stopped gaining every year and stayed at 190/195 for years. I remember thinking that I would never go over 200. Anyway to start dieting I changed psych meds because I was too depressed to organize myself to lose weight even though I had successfully done it twice before. I started them but didn't start dieting yet. Anyway four months later I had my yearly at my GYN and I was 210. I wasn't weighing myself at home and wore elastic waist pants so I had no idea I had gained weight. The doctor was rude about it and made fun of me when I said I had no idea how I gained the weight. Anyway after I was on the meds a year I joined WW and lost all of the weight. Three times changes in psych meds brought about weight gains but once I joined WW and did the program I lost the weight.

Yes 💪🏽 cathygeha ,! lani , I love how you and Cathy know your ⬆️ and ⬇️ so well. It’s such a relief to see that this is normal. It also shows me what my boundaries are. I wouldn’t want to get to a point where I think I can get away with being off plan altogether. Monday 156.4 -Down .4 The fluctuation day to day is normal. The more years I do this and the more times I follow the program the wiser I become. My sister was frustrated this morning because after the 4th and indulging she was up on the scale. She EXPECTED to be up but didn't WANT to be up an dwas discouraged. I think the nice thing is that she can talk me around and I can talk her around and we support one another morning and evening as there are ten hours difference in her time and mine. So...I just posted to her what I ate today and how the points worked out and such as she was weighing and frustrated. My email help offset her feelings and her comments this morning on my 192 weight were a push to stay OP today...This group is kind of like that, too, by posting daily and talking about the ups and downs and what might have caused them and seeing everyone doing the same...it is a good thing.
Also...I think that my being up 2 or 4 pounds is kind of like those of you at lower weights being up one 1 or 2 pounds due to the difference in our weights...if that makes sense.
I remember reaching goal weight in 1984 and being told to keep the weight within 2 pounds of goal weight (up or down) and thinking "easy peasy" then having the weight go back up as I stopped tracking as carefully. The idea for me NOW is that when I see a gain and know it is NOT due to something I ate since I have been on program then it might be due to inflammation or salt or something else...and I might NEVER know what that something else actually was but by staying on program it will come off again.

Medications, emotions, age, hormones, changes in diet, moving to a new country (oh my!) and so many things can impact our lives and as our lives are impacted so can our weight be!
I am glad you figured out how to manage it all and are on an even keel and have been for some time! It must feel wonderful!

cathygeha, It does. Part of the reason I have my online groups is to give people support during the upsets of weight loss and maintenance. When I started this time I realized that was one of the things I was missing the two times I lost and regained.
