I did fairly well, though I probably had more alcohol than I should have though in my defense, I did space it out. I went to a meetup event after work, and it was kind of lame so I stayed an hour, had dinner (since a lot of the food served was packed with calories) and left. I did a lot of walking between drinks and had water.

I forgot I had ice cream w/ a waffle cone so the calorie should read 3200.

My weight went up which sucked, also sometime during the weekend I got blisters on my feet that hurt like hell. Which makes walking a bit more painful.
 
:( Sorry that you're not getting the results you deserve - and also about the blisters. Might it be a good idea to not walk until they've healed? You could do some kind of exercise which doesn't need you to be on your feet - lying-down exercises? I'm a great believer in giving things a chance to heal.

Well even though my weight went up a bit, I'm back on track, I cut down calories though I did have pasta for dinner, I'm going to try to cut back on that if I do have pasta have something like zucchini noodles. Unfortunately my dog didn't want to walk much so I did some walking instead. Also I should note that it's the three year anniversary of when I achieved my initial weight loss goal, now if only I can get back to it!

Good to see you are back on track. I think you need to let your feet heal a bit before doing a lot more walking.

It maybe 3 years since you hit your original goal, and I know you are about 15 lbs over that now. I do hope you reach your new goal, and I have confidence you will. However don't lose sight of the fact that you are still more than 100 lbs below where you were just 4 years ago. That is a great accomplishment!

Thanks! Actually I'm about 35 lbs. over my final goal, though I'd be happy w/ 190 or 195 at this point.

I did okay today though I had a little too much sweets.
 
Hi, Matt. I'm glad I don't like cupcakes or sweet soda. I lost the taste for sweet stuff (except for fruit, which I am cutting down on) years ago thank goodness. I started doing intermittent fasting, a week ago, only eating in an 8-hour "window". Mine is from 12-8 pm. I feel so much better already & have lost a little. I feel much better mentally & physically. I think you would only have to switch around what you eat & drink & the weight would come tumbling down again. Have you gone back in your diary to see what worked best for you, Matt? Your weight-loss was so consistent. I know you won't give up. I find it scary how my weight had started creeping up a year ago.

Your lucky! I've always had a bit of a sweet tooth, I remember as a kid I once I stole some cake icing from our pantry and ate it! I usually try not to eat after 7-8. Even on days when I cheat I rarely eat after 6. I think it's mainly there's the fact that I'm walking less because Misty is getting very old. I might start walking by myself and ask the doctor if I can start weight lifting again.
