May/June Weight Managment

[Catrin]

126.9 - wrong way! This always happens when my calorie intake drops below a certain level It comes from not fueling properly for my activity level. I KNOW better!

I'd like to join in again for maintenance. I am at 104 now and prefer to stay right around there.

Thanks!

106.4 wrong way, though it's the lowest my weight has been all week.
I have a big ride Sunday, so I expect my weight to be wacky after that.

144.8. I'm experiencing one of my water-retention-for-no-apparent-reason phases again. This drives me nuts.

I'm also doing a long ride tomorrow and another next Saturday, which should mess things up for me too. We shall see.

I feel your pain. I used to gain 3 or 4 pounds in the days before my period. Now I gain (and lose) water weight several times throughout the last half of my cycle, and the retention can be as much as 6 or 7 pounds. It's awful. Stupid perimenopause.

104.0, same as last week.

I am pleased that my weight has been stable and lower now that I'm back in the US -- this is exactly how it was before we left for Belize. We ride more now (and hills, rather than flats), and since it hasn't been super hot and humid (yet!) I'm just more active in general, take more walks, etc. In Belize it got dark so early we never walked after dinner, and here we always do, stuff like that. Also drinking more wine and less beer probably helps a little -- and eating a better variety and quality of food, for the most part.

124 this morning--down one.

I'm finally getting time for some exercise (rode on Tuesday and Thursday and hiked on Wednesday), and that makes all the difference. Now let's just hope my work schedule doesn't get crazy again.
