ok so i did my follow up with my physician. Blood work looks great and no sign of issues. My appetite seems to be calming down which as allowed me to lose 5 of the 10 lbs i gained recently. I have resumed my 5 mile jog/walk. lets hope things stay on track.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Lets all agree to do something outside this weekend!

That's great news @twshield... knocking the rest of that 10# off seems a high priority. Watch every item you eat and make good decisions about any calorie-dense items. I suspect there are even items that have more of an effect than just the calories. I avoided any bread for many months and lost 2-4# every month. Then a month ago I started allowing myself one bread item a day, taking full account of the 140-calories therein, so no effect (no increase) on daily caloric intake. But in that month I was unable to shed any weight... even gained a pound or 2. I stopped with the bread a few days ago and today saw a NEW LOW of 164#. I think the bread, not the calories, was the roadblock. Yes, I'm making special efforts to do things outside. Hey, other folks... post some progress reports!

There are some things that I have to be careful with. Bread, although as a general rule I don't eat it often, tends to cause no difficulty for me as long as I don't go nuts, like when I used to make bread and could.not resist multiple servings, warm from the oven. However, salty items will cause stutters of the scales for me. I avoid buying potato chips most of the time and only do popcorn occasionally(love it salty) but lately rediscovered my love of dill pickle sunflower seeds.
I tend to see them as a nothing snack,as a 1/4 cup is satistying, not that many actual calories and occupies me much longer per calorie than anything else. However, I must be a water retainer. I don't get swollen ankles or any other effects but will frequently see an uptick in weight if I have seeds in the shell. While I could go to unsalted, they are just not the same so I just have to limit how many I allow myself to eat in a day. Other salty stuff will also cause this response, like chips, which is why I avoid buying them except for special occasions like a cook-out.

Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
