Welcome to your first bounce of the bouncing ball that is your weight. It will go up and down due to salt, activity level, injuries, weather, water drunk, elimination, etc. Don't let it get to you. Some women regularly swing by 5-7 pounds each month. Look at the long term trend. If you use the reports button and look at your weight over time, the line should look like a ball bouncing down very uneven stairs. A single week may look like anything but over months, the pattern reveals itself.

I love our little community that grew! I look forward to my cup of coffee and scrolling through the comments every day. I learn from our mistakes, am saddened by our setbacks and look forward to your victories possibly even more than my own. Welcome everyone to Round 13 which will end in a new moon and usher in a solar eclipse for a spectacular beginning to Round 14.

8/11 - 193.6 they should have a happy dance emoji!
8/12 - 193.4
8/13 - 193.8 another day under calories but felt like I was cheating for some reason, I think it's because I was eating the same as the family and not modifying it for myself except for measuring portions.
8/14 - 193.4 had my big drop so I suspect I'm going to stay around this number for a while. Be nice to see 192 before the challenge ends
8/15 - 193.4

8/17: 181 lbs...Has anyone ever felt like that they've just run out of energy? They are tired of tracking calories and making all these healthy recipes and just want a big, fat, juicy cheeseburger? I am so there right now. However, I keep eating healthy and ensuring that I get up and move. I am proving to myself that my will power is stronger than I ever knew.

Absolutely, And every time I have over the past half-century of fat adulthood, I've put the weight back on. That's why I recently so enjoyed taking a day-off from the diary. We went to an all-you-can-eat buffet. I enjoyed it thoroughly. But the next day I went back to this process of eating within limits. Eating within limits is the only way to lose the weight.

You can have that big, fat, juicy cheeseburger. Just don't use it as a sign that you've failed. Don't assign guilt to it. Don't use it as an excuse to quit. You can either work it into calorie allotment for the day or you can just say, "Oh, hell. I'm not gonna log this." No guilt. No one is scoring your diary but you.

8/17: 197.2 It seems I’m stuck. Okay, I’ve been doing great (IMO) for about 5-6 weeks now, lost close to 10 pounds. How does this work? When does the scale start moving again?

When it feels like it. Weight loss is not linear. It bounces around to drive us crazy!

8/11 263.2 -- "Retrieved" two pounds from a day off logging and a trip to Little Pigs barbecue buffet. Back to the new normal today. May slide up a bit more tomorrow because of water but I know what to do. CICO!!
8/12 262.6 -- Getting rid of the two pounds from the trip to the barbecue. Logged and stayed under calories yesterday like it is the new normal! It is ... the new normal, that is.
8/13 261.6 -- Almost back to the LW of round 12. It's onward!
8/14 262.0 -- Made the mistake of getting on the scale in my nightie. Now it won't recognize that I weigh less in the buff. Damned scale decides that it's going to tell me I weigh that day and once it decides on a number, it won't change it. Obstinate little thing! Oh, well, I know I ate right and the number is not what's important -- at least that's what I'm telling myself. Harrumph!
8/15 261.4 -- The scale went down but I fell into an old pattern last night that had me eating several hundred calories "post diary." Staying up late to binge-watch costume dramas goes with snacking. I need to watch such girly stuff during the day when I'm more in control of my eating. (Early evening is more "gender neutral" in our living room. LOL)
8/16 261.0 -- Discovered what had made it so hard to stay within calories for the last couple days. I had been playing with the macros and something I did had dropped my daily limit by about 150 calories! No wonder I had that attack of the night munchies. Anyway, all recovered. I actually ate low yesterday because I skipped (slept through?) breakfast and wasn't hungry for it due to the previous night. Back to normal today!

8/17 260.6 -- Another new low! Yay! CICO!!

@farmhouse140 I've been bouncing too. Hang in there! Track and stick to your plan. You've got this!

@nikki062181 be aware that if you cut your calories back too far your body will put itself in starvation mode. We had a lady in my Weight Watchers group who wasn't eating all of her points and wasn't losing. When we finally convinced her to eat them, she lost.

SW 3/9/17: 256 lbs
UGW: 140 lbs
R13 GW: 217

8/11: 219 - I weighed a little less yesterday but not much. I was under my calories, rode my stationary bike, and took a walk so I'm guessing just water. I have to remember to drink more. I have been craving doughnuts all morning because I've been watching Twin Peaks.

8/12: 217.8 - This was surprising as I didn't work out and I overate because I had to have some Arby's and a shake! I was smart though, no mayo and removed a slice of bread and split the small shake so it wasn't too awful. Had blueberry french toast this morning and feel no guilt.

8/13: 219.6 - This was expected as I over ate and then had a free double chocolate muffin from my sister's work. I'm hoping for a better day today. Weekends are hard but I'll make it through. I hope everyone else is doing better than me.

8/14: 221 - Did squats yesterday and I'm sore and also retaining water. I hope the scale moves in the right direction tomorrow.

8/15: 220.6 - Better than yesterday I guess. I had spaghetti and a Dove Ice cream bar for dinner and it was delicious. Got my 30 minutes of exercise in but my son is teething really bad so looks like I get to deal with a clingy 1 year old all day.

8/16: 220 - This water retention is killing me! I guess it could be worse, but it's still disheartening. I just need to keep it up and wait for the inevitable whoosh! It's always exciting to see all your hard work pay off in a matter of days lol! Good luck everyone

8/17: 219.4 - I'm dropping a little each day which is good. Hopefully I'm out of the 220's for good now. I'm pretty sure I won't be seeing 217 by the end of 10 days but I'm hoping my next whoosh will drop me below that.

Eating, drinking, urinating, having a bowel movement, and exercise can all impact your body's water composition and therefore weight. i.e. high-carb and high-salt foods can cause water retention and a boost in poundage, while some exercise can lead to temporary water and weight loss, strenuous exercise can lead to water weight gain as your muscles heal.

So don't get too excited—or freaked—if you weigh yourself and you have gained. Weight gain due to water fluctuation should normalize in a day or two when you resume exercising and eating a healthy diet that's low in salt, refined carbs, and simple sugars.

Remember if you are on a 1500 calorie a day diet, and your deficit is 500 calories (1 pound a week) if you are not overeating, that one pound is coming off, it may be temporarily obscured with water or a full bowel, undigested food. That's what your whoosh is, when everything comes together and you are not retaining water or anything else, you hop on the scale and get your lowest number yet.

Don't stress -- just my two cents.

@nikki062181 - You can have a big, fat, juicy cheeseburger!! Just fit it into your calories or work out extra that day. Depriving yourself is a recipe for failure. At least it is for me. Eat like this is a permanent lifestyle. One 'splurge' here and there won't hurt you. ;-)

8/11: 160.2 - with today's weigh in, I have now officially lost 50 lbs since I started.

8/11 - 132.9 I have been struggling a bit with my mindful eating. Hopefully today will be the start of a great round and I can get back to where I was. My plan is to leave NC at the end of the month at 130# at the most!!!
8/12 - 132.6 headed back in the right direction. Lots of exercise today. But couldn't resist the hot dog and tater tots at hot dog world in Hendersonville, NC
8/13 - 132.1 moving along nicely. Got my 5 mile run in this morning. Have a great Sunday everyone!
8/14 - 131.7 nice long walk in the mountains with the dogs and then to the gym for a good workout. Always mindful eating! Progress (round 2 to get below 130#)
8/15 - 131.1 finally back below where I was after Round 11. Staying very motivated!!!
8/16 - 132.5 that was short lived. Boo! I did not have mindful eating yesterday. Going to the gym now. Let's see what today's efforts will bring tomorrow. Must finish this round strong!
8/17 -132.7 The struggle is real regardless of your age and size. I have 4 days to right this ship!!!
