It wasn’t a good week, not really. I spent the whole week angry at myself for having gotten back up to this weight, wearing elastic-waist things that actually /fit/ and feeling silly and crappy about the whole thing.
I also spent it, however:
* tracking my food more carefully (Not on the days off, still working on that)
* going to the gym three times (M, W, F)
* trying to generally be more active.
* Trying to think positively about weight loss.
Today’s weigh-in: 174.8 lbs. Down 1.8 lbs, which is better than feared.
(hormones: I’m either still bloated, more bloated, or bloated again: my boobs hurt like hell and my period is due in ~2-3 days)
I tried three tracking methods this week:
http://www.loseit.com/
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/
Weight watchers, via excel formula ++ asking Rion for points on dinners.
Obviously, three tracking methods is not sustainable, but I’m still torn between Lose It! And Myfitnesspal. I might try a third method (people have suggested a few)in lieu of one for a week or two.
24.8 lbs to go, 25 weeks to go. Yay!
Perpetual Note: Please do not suggest or tell me 1) I don’t want to get down to xx weight, 2) xx is not a healthy weight, 3) anything else suggesting I don’t know what weight I might want to get to/look good having reached.

How are you feeling about eating patterns and exercise patterns? Sustainable things, non-sustainable things?
So far, they feel sustainable, the eating decently-long-term, and the exercise through the winter times at least.
Any reviewer-y thoughts about the tracking methods at this point? (Do you know what you’re looking for, or are you trying things out to see what works?)
hrrm, generally, myfitnesspal has more robust food selections, better exersize options, and it tracks water.
