My weight this morning is 107.6, the highest it's been in a long time. I am up about a pound in the last week and about 3 lbs in the last month. The only intentional change has been the coconut oil but I may be eating larger portions. Not sure because I don't measure. I have been having more people tell me how good I look and my clothes all fit fine except the jeans I wore yesterday were a little tight in the crouch when I was sitting.
I'm not unhappy at this weight. In fact I still want to weigh more. I just freak out seeing the scale go up. I would like to stabilize for a bit and not gain rapidly but, as I've said, I feel good up to 140 lbs. After 150 it seems to really make a difference in my appearance and clothes. I can wear a size 6 or 8 at 140 but after 150 I can go up to a 12 or 14.
So am I finally experiencing bounce back after 3 years? Probably but I'm fine with it. I certainly don't want to "diet" at 107. As far as cutting back I guess if my weigh somehow spirals out of control the first thing to go is the coconut oil since that seems to be the catalyst but for now I'm kind of interested in seeing what my body does when I follow the rules I've been following for the last few years: protein first and no sugar, gluten or refined carbs. If I eventually end up in the 120s or 130s I'll be fine with that but I prefer to do it slowly.

Tazz, I completely understand the tight fit..Good for you for being at a happy weight. I LOVE coconut oil but use mine in fat bombs and on my skin...for the skin, I mix it with sugar and use it as a skin scrub.

Glad you are out doing something you enjoy! That's better than a weigh in anyday.
I'm hoping this is my last one too! And thanks
