Ya gotta cut lose once in a while. When I get a craving like you're describing, I get a 5 oz glass of red wine and some really good dark chocolate. It really doesn't add up to much and it helps keep me sane.

Last round: 173
Goal this round: 169
8/21- 172.5 - I went mia last round because we went on vacation for a week! I didn't log but I walked a ton and tried to keep a mental count of calories throughout so that I could still have fun. Seems like I just maintained from my last weight but I'm ok wIth that for vacation!
8/22- 172.5 - walked less today than I have in over a month?! I must work out tomorrow morning, no excuses. I'm so determined for my goal this round
8/23- 171.5 - so I had an excuse toddler kept me up almost all night. No work out this morning but I'm going to try to make it up by walking!
8/24 - 171.5 - originally it said 171, but after two additiona tries it was 171.5 so I'll stick with that one for now!
8/25 - 170.5 - woo!!
8/26 - 168.5 - what! I'm not really going to set my hopes on this sticking. Seems to drastic. We shall see what tomorrow brings before I call my goal met for this round

Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 260.8 - been hovering here for a bit now, but i ate horribly today. too many calories in general and WAY too many of them from carbs. i expect a bump up tomorrow morning. blah. birthday cake, YOUUUUUUUU!!! /shakes fist.
8/22 261.4 = as i expected, all the carbs = weight gain. =/
8/23 260.4 - better this morning, but today went over the calories a bit and no evening walk. this week has been a challenge. i need to step up my game!
8/24 260.4 - last bit of cake is gone! with how i ate yesterday, glad to see that the numbers didnt go up again.
8/25 258.4 - staying on track with the calories
8/26 258.0 - ate pretty well yesterday. today will be tough. family gathering with pizza and appetizers and chips and junk. moderation is my mantra for today!
8/27 258.8 - all the junk food at the party was delicious and my numbers didn't go up too much. Having a little taste of everything seemed to work out pretty well.
8/28 259.2 - very lethargic yesterday. Ate too many carbs and didn't get to take my evening walk.

My journey:
SW 200.6
GW 145
Aim: It took me a couple of months but I managed to get out of the 200 club and I want to stay there!
8/21 - 196.4 (Full disclosure, I'm quite bloated today, I ate too much salt and calorie-high food yesterday... I was 194.6 on the 20th. So if there's a big drop tomorrow it's not real weight loss. LOL)
8/22 - 197 Ok, so the bloating was a bit worse than I thought! But I'm being a good girl.
8/23 - 195.8 Yay moving in the right direction!
8/24 - 198.2 Ok, so this was a slap in the face, but I deserved it. I let myself go completely wild yesterday... Sugary foods for breakfast and snacks, Thai food (pasta) at lunch, & All you can Eat Sushi for dinner. I was 3000 caps over the limit even after my half-hearted workout. Today I will make a change and be good.
8/25 - 195.4 Yay!!! Being a good girl pays off!!! All bloating is now gone. Anything I lose from here on out is weight!!! I hoping to see 193.8 BEFORE these 10 days are over!
8/26 - 193.8!!!! I'm over the moon happy right now!!! Got on the scale 3x to make sure it was real!
8/27 - 193.8 Holding steady!
8/28 - 192.6 Unbelievable! I'm so happy right now! I was a bit over my limit yesterday because we ate out but I kept my portions small and it seems to have paid off!!!

10 Day Goal: Get under 160 and stay there.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21- 159.94 I doubt the weight is correct, but I'll take it for now. Exhausted today and almost caved to fast food for dinner. Instead, I chose a refrigerated soup and half a cheese sandwich for dinner. Hoping to get some food prep done tomorrow so the week runs easier.
8/22-159.72 Another tiring day here. Haven't had energy and my sleep schedule is off. Need to get back to taking my vitamins.
8/23- 159.5 My back pain has flared up, so I haven't done much more than take medication and sleep all day. Hoping tomorrow is a better day.
8/24- 159.94 Absolutely no real reason for the gain other than normal fluctuation. Remaining under calories. Hope the scale is nicer to me tomorrow.
8/25- 158.84 Tried the scale 4 different times to make sure my scale wasn't misbehaving. I would be thrilled if I could end this challenge at 158. Still maintaining my calories and have plans to make freezer meals this weekend.
8/26- 159.06 Tiny increase today, but still very happy with my progress overall. We had dinner out with friends (Chinese) I did my best to have a small portion because I had no ideas of calories. Also, it was difficult to judge calories since we were sharing several dishes. I served up a small plate all at once so I could visually see my portion size and did not go back for seconds. I think I did fairly well, but we shall see if the scale agrees.
8/27- 158.62 Looks like I probably did ok last night. Very pleased. Today has been quiet with nothing to report.
8/28-158.4 I had a very busy day and fell asleep at 6:30 and woke up around 9:30 with no dinner made. We ended up eating fast food. I managed to come in under my calories, but only because I was so busy I barely ate all day. Tomorrow is a new day.

8/22. 165.5 will focus today on making healthy choices.
8/23 166.5. I knew it would go up. In the middle of orientation week activities as my daughter starts college and am surrounded by food and treats 24/7. Today is the last day and the temptations should be gone.
8/24 167 I'm not surprised. Committing to refocus my efforts.
8/25 168
8/26 165.5. Back where I started at the beginning of the challenge. Hope to make some progress now in the next few days and finish strong!
8/27 166.5

I use a product called 'renew life clear fiber' that I buy online. I started with it to help lower cholesterol. The fiber and carbs are equal so no effective carbs, in case that's a concern.

Welcome! to all the Newbies, and Hi! to those returning for another Round. This has got me back on track big time!
Round 14: (Round 7 for me. Female, 5'2" aged 71, weight in lbs)
Update: I found a scale in one of the cupboards in our holiday cottage, so am running with it.
SW: 227; Lowest weight 18 Aug 2017: 159.2; Final goal weight: 147
Round 8: lowest, 162.0; highest, 169.0; mean, 165.5 (5 day holiday created overage)
Round 9: lowest, 164.8; highest, 169.0; mean, 166.8
Round 10: lowest, 166.0; highest, 168.0; mean 167.7 (166 on 4 days! I know I can improve on that!)
Round 11: lowest, 164; highest, 166.8; mean, 165.5 (-2.6 this round)
Round 12: lowest, 161.4; highest, 164.4; mean, 162.6
Round 13: lowest, 159.2; highest, 161.8; mean, 160.4 [/b] Very happy with this.
Daily Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 15+ strength ; 15+ flex ; 6,500+ steps ; close kitchen at 8pm!
Target weight: 158
20/8/2017: 159.4 Not on my own scale, but it will do for comparisons.
21/8/2017: 158.6 Quite surprised. Had a huge Sunday dinner, but I had walked quite a lot, and did some hiking on a nearby moor.
22/8/2017: 161.5 (NMOS) Retaining water as my knee has flared up and is rather swollen. Barely got my 6500 steps. Slightly over basic calories. But still in the green, despite having wine with dinner last night, and not hydrating enough. C'est la vie!
23/8/2017: 161 (NMOS) Goals ✅ Still nursing my knee along. Did upper body/abs workout.
24/8/2017: 163 (NMOS) This is mostly water weight. We are on holiday, and I choose to have a day off the merry go round yesterday. Cause and effect! Yesterday we went on a boat trip to Rathlin Island. Although under goal, and making as healthy choices as I could, I reckon my sodium intake was way up, and needless to say I didn't hydrate enough to flush it out. Then we went to the ice cream parlour when we got back to the mainland. On top of that we had Chinese takeaway, (more sodium!) as we were knackered after the day walking in the open air and no one wanted to cook. Today I will eat light and hydrate. PS: Did I mention the chocolate?
25/8/2017: 164 (NMOS) Another meal out last night. And didn't hydrate enough. I will be drinking like a fish today. Thank goodness I am going home tomorrow and all these temptations are removed. I will have to buckle down and get rid of this holiday baggage.
26/8/2017: Travelling
27/8/2017: 167.2 Back to my own scale. This is no surprise after a week of eating out and holiday treats.- I know I logged the food but it's difficult to gauge the extra calories added by chefs to 'enhance' the taste, undoubtedly over Goal most days.
- I prepared food for some of the days, but one doesn't want to be a party pooper when eating out as a 'treat' with family.
- Some of the weight will go quickly, because of all the sodium and water retention.
- I will be glugging water back for the few next to days to flush out the system.
- You pay a price when you over-indulge on rich food (in more ways than one).
- One thing I have learned during the last 3 years on here is that being fit and healthy is a lifetime commitment.
- You can over-indulge, but only occasionally, and the scale is your best motivation to make sure it doesn't get out of hand.
- Each day is a new day, and a new opportunity to choose your path.
29/8/2017: 165.5 Goals ✅
30/8/2017:
Have a great day!

R14 SW 193
Ten more days of accountability. My goal for this round is at least one pound to get to my 50 milestone goal. So happy to see people continuing the challenge
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 - 191.8 met my 50lb milestone today.
8/22 - 191.2 I'm being rewarded plenty for sticking to my guns this round as I stayed in the 193's for 10 days last round. It is sometimes hard to be patient as I seem to spent a lot of time waiting for the scale to show the payoff of my hard work. I see the pattern though and know if I stay motivated the numbers will move steadily downward.
8/23 - 192.2 High salt day, was so good though!
8/24 - 191.4 I knew it wasn't going to stay -- now I'm wondering if I can possibly get into the 8's in this round.
8/25 - 191.2
8/26 - 191.2
8/27 - 191 ever so slowly but in the right direction!
8/28 - 190.6
8/29 - 190.6 Went to the doctor yesterday. I have been tracking my bp for years and he has seen significant reduction to eliminate part of my blood pressure therapy. I'll track again for 6 weeks and he feels we may be able to cut it down more. This is a wonderful NSV. BUT, he has cut out the HCT, which is the water pill portion of my therapy and I'm nervous about the impending water weight gain. We will see the damage over the next week. If anyone has experience with this I would love to hear.

8/21 - 162.4 - I knew a 1.1 lb loss overnight wasn't going to stick but still generally going the right direction.
8/22 - 162.2 - Slow and steady...all good.
8/23 - 162 - no exercise the last two days but have been under calories. Can't say I've made the best nutritional choices though. Will do better today.
8/24 - 161.6 - got some good exercise in, lots of water, and stayed at calories. Progress showing up on the scale!
8/25 - 161.6 - did well with calorie intake yesterday but no time for exercise. Lots of exercise coming up today though!
8/26 - 161.6 - Dear body, you may now let go of 1.1 lbs so I can met my goal. Im proud of you. Love, me
8/27 - 161.6 - Dear body, I hear you...you're not ready. I trust you know what you are doing. Love, me
8/28 - 162 - Body...seriously, what the heck? You know I've been doing great for 5 days straight. Is TOM coming?
8/29 - 161.4 - Magic mood ring says TOM is coming so I'm good with this. Getting in exercise, calories on point, and tons of water.

Round 14 (R5 for me)
5’6” Short term Goal weight: 195
Ultimate Goal weight: 155
R10: 204.6 – 201.4
R11: 200 – 203
R12: 200.8 -195.6
R13: 198.4 – 197.2
R14 Goal 194.9 (need to hit that 195 goal!)
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21: 198.4 – so surprise here. Way over on cals the last couple days.
8/22: 196.4 – Wahoo! Finally see a decent drop. Let’s keep this going.
8/23: 196 & 195.6 – Weighed myself twice today, once when I got up and again about 30 mins later. I don’t know which one to record so I’m recording them both. Super sore today from Monday’s workout.
8/24: 195.6 - .7 pounds from my short term goal weight. Once I get there and keep it for a week, I’m rewarding myself with a fancy new workout outfit.
8/25: 195.8 – Not as exciting as a loss but not bad either.
8/26: 195.4 – Woo! Didn’t expect this as I had a carb/fat pigout last night. Spending 6 hours in the car today. Sure way for me to retain a little water. I’ll fit in some exercise somehow.
8/27: 194.6 – Wow! I hit my short term goal! So happy! Now I want to keep it and then on to my next goal of 185. I haven’t weighed in the 180’s for 8 years (my 30’s) so that would be amazing. Well, now that I think about it I can’t remember the last time I was under 195.
8/28: 193.4 – Oh how I wish this was real. I’ll just expect to go back up hopefully just a little though.
8/29: 193.4 – Kinda crazy. I couldn’t get away from 197 in the last round and now here I am in the 193’s. Maybe the scale batteries are going dead?

8/21 269.8 Goals: 25mins cardio; 10k steps; 3.0L water; track all food- all done
8/22 270.6 Goals: Strength Training; 10k steps; 3.0L water; Track all food- all done
Stayed under calories; ate plenty veggies, protein, and fruit- enjoyed each meal and my evening snack.
8/23 270.6 Goals: 25 mins cardio; 10K steps; 3.0L water; Track all food-all done
Barely stayed under calorie but I am always hungrier after cardio. I don’t eat back exercise calories because I don’t know how accurate my Apple Watch is about calculating calories burned.
8/24 269.8 Goals: Strength Training; 10K Steps; 3.0L water, Track all food- all done
Stayed under calorie. It was harder to feel satisfied and found myself fighting the desire to eat due to boredom. NSV: Upped a set strength training.
8/25 271.6 Goals: Rest day; 10K steps; 3.0L water; Track all food- all done
Drank 4.0L of water. Did better on the desire to eat out of boredom. Drank water and found something else to capture my attention. I found myself wanting to do something fitness wise. Think I will look into something fun and fitness related for rest days.
8/26 271.0 Goals: 25 mins cardios; 10k steps; 3.0L water; Track all food- all done
Drank 4.0L of water. Stayed under 1300 calories. Food met satiety well today.
8/27 269.2 Goals: BW Strength Training; 10K Steps; 3.0L water; Track all food- all done
Glad to see the scale move downward today. Sticking to the plan pays off. Drank 4.0L of water. Stayed busy and I had to squeeze in a walk to meet my step goal last night. I didn’t want to but I am glad I did.
8/28 268.0 Goals: 25 mins cardio; 10k steps; 3.0L water; Track all food- all done
It is nice to see this new low. Drank 4L of water. Cardio went well; I have noticed increased ease while doing the more intense intervals. I also took the opportunity to do leg strength training because I know tomorrow it is going to be hard to fit it all in.
8/29 267.8 Goals: Upper Body Strength Training; 10k steps; 3L of water; Track all food; be extra mindful while having lunch out-
Spending much of today on a bus for a field trip to the aquarium and will be eating out at a pizza place for lunch.
