9 Pounds in 9 Weeks: Starts Sunday, Sept. 11th

SouthernEm

Oh god, I haven't logged my weight since 22nd as I know it's not good. Fiancé had his birthday last Friday then I had mine on Monday so there's been a few days of lots of food and drink. Plus now it's TOM and I'm retaining water. It's going to be a big gain when I weigh in tomorrow. Could do with an accountability challenge!

12/09: 158lb
17/09: 157.2lb
23/09: 157.2lb
30/09: 158.8lb

Overall +0.8lb so not as bad as I thought it would be! Still means I have 9.8 in 6 weeks to go though.

Still doing the exercise challenge. I'm always committing to exercise. My problem is the night eating. I eat healthy all day without effort and have for years. In the evening I lose it. Not binge eating, but too much. If I could get that under control I would be able to lose the 10 pounds.

How you doing 50shades? I've done challenge day 2 - hope you have too!!?

Hi! I posted you a reply. Not too good at this technology stuff. I don't practice it enough. Thank you for keeping in touch with me. I feel that is something that is missing, is being able to connect with a buddy. How are you doing?

No loss this week, but I had a great NSV. Someone noticed and commented on my weight loss and complimented me on looking good. That's encouraging even when the scale is not cooperating.

Down a pound for 10/2 but not a change in inches. Last week, I lost 1/2 and inch but didnt't lose any weight. It's a process. Glad you're all here.

Morning - great news on exercise!! I didn't get as far as doing with weights but enjoyed having a challenge - to get it done! I'm same on a night... You up for a 'don't eat anything after 7.30pm' challenge? This will be a killer for me but I might drink more water this way too!

Weigh in:
12/09 - 164lbs
18/09 - 162lbs
23/09 - 162lbs - must try harder
03/10 - 162lbs - frustrated

But completely understandable - last night we had a massive family dinner with all the trimmings and lots of wine!

Totally forgot to weigh last week, because I was ill. And I've put everything back on again - but it's probably just a blip. Here's to the next week!

11/9 - 221.2
18/9 - 219.6 (-1.6lb)
25/9 - ?
2/10 - 221.2 :-(

That will be difficult! But I'm enjoying our back & forth support. I'll give it a good try. Even if I cut back that would be great for me.

9/23--164
9/28--162
10/4--160

9/19 161.8
10/5 159.0

I can already feel the difference. Have need doing great weekdays with some backsliding on weekends. Will keep at it.

Here I was thinking how slow this whole process is. I was just looking at my own numbers and it really helps to see the progression.

I have mostly just been following the MFP goals for calories. I tend to go a little lower carb and higher fat than they recommend, but it is what helps keep my appetite under control. The weight I lost between the 23-28 is what I think could have been PMS water weight. I always stall the week before "that" takes place, and a few days later I see a pound or so fall off. I don't do a ton of exercise other than walking. My calorie intake is set to lose a pound a week and MFP put me at 1,420 calories, and I usually come close to it. If I don't use them up I assume it means I can safely have a midnight snack without it being an issue. I hope to keep seeing at least a pound a week come off for the next 10 pounds.

I did lose a pound this week, but I'm feeling less motivated. I'm planning meals ahead to stay on track, hoping not to backslide.
