Round 14Round 14
SW: 147.6
End of round goal: 146
Goal: Get to mainstream by the first of the year!
8/27 147.6 ~ (Steps 18,495 Miles 7.36) ~ Today's my sons birthday......Yesterday I was able to get a nice morning walk in plus hit the gym in the evening since it was too hot outside. I had to push myself to hit the gym, it did pay off in the scale, yay! Another pound off, I'm trying to lose the 5 pounds I gained from vacation,
8/28 148.8 ~ Yesterday, since I didn't get ANY exercise in plus my sodium was high, I have a gain. I didn't over eat though so my gain is only a pound. Yesterday's, was a success in my books!
8/29 148.3 ~ (Steps18,169) Miles 7 ~ I was hungry the whole day but was able to stick to my dairy, keeping my sodium low. I decided to try getting a workout before getting breakfast. Last night I had to alter my menu since my husband got off late from work. On the plus side a couple workouts during the day helped.
8/30 147.9 ~ (Steps 19,101 Miles 7.7) ~ Yesterday went well with goals, I was able to get a couple workouts at the gym. I switching up though, having my protein drink after my first workout. I need to focus on more fruits for snacks, after vacation, I'm having trouble incorporating them into my diet. Not at my goal for this round but I'm ready for the next round!
This will be my 2nd round, too
End of R 14 147.9
End of R 15 goal: 143
Day/Weight/Comment
8/31 146.4 ~ (Steps 28,910 Miles 7.75) ~ Yesterday I was able to get a couple workouts in plus a morning run.... My vacation weight is starting to drop off, only a couple more pounds..... Consistency to no late night snacking is the key
9/01 147.9 ~ (Steps 20,039 Miles 8 miles) ~ I don't understand the gain, I was able to get a nice workout last night plus my sodium wasn't to high. I also ate under my calories allowed so I'm really disappointed with the gain. I did have some watermelon last night but that shouldn't matter.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31--225.9 Had a great weightlifting session yesterday and got my stretching in.
9/01--225.5 Ugh, forgot to stretch yesterday. I know the problem is because I haven't scheduled it into my day and then I just expect myself to remember to do it, but because it's not a habit yet I usually forget. So, I'm going to make sure that I stretch right after I get home from walking the dog in the morning.

I have a question: my "net calories" have been putting me under 1200 calories a day, should I be eating those calories gained or not? I'm just trying to rule out things that may be stalling the weight loss. I'm going to start measuring myself, because I think I'm also gaining muscle, or at least toning up. Just keep swimming!
You want to make sure that your net calories, calories eaten less calories burned, is at least 1200 calories. For many people they will eat back at least 1/2 of the calories burned because the extra calories are needed to be eaten when you work out. Remember 1200 is a minimum and for most people that amount is too low, it's best to figure out your calories by plugging in your stats into MFP.4 -

Julia, 10 pounds in 10 days is not really feasible or medically sound. You probably need to reevaluate your goals. I would hate to have you disappointed at the end of the 10 days.
I was assuming she meant to hit her 10 pounds lost mark not do it in one challenge. You are absolutely correct, though. A pound, or at most two, in 10 days is more reasonable.
And, Cyranda, thank you for your thank you of the other day. I'm so glad you started these challenges. It's working a charm for me and so many of us!6 -

9/01 - 192.4 Day 3 of liquid diet, I seem to be salt and carb loading. Today I can start soft foods for two weeks, at least I have more choices. When it's all over I'll have a brilliant smile, it won't erase the memories but it will erase the daily reminder of a time I would rather forget. On a better note, my bp without the water pill is still running around 110/70 and I see the Dr in 6 weeks, hopefully I'll be in a downward trend by then and he can eliminate more meds. Sorry for the grind guys... feeling the stress of the scale going up when I'm on point.
A student tenant I once had was recovering from a severe spinal injury. He said he needed to eat about 4000 calories a day to help rebuild the missing muscles and he was just a little slip of a thing. I don't know what effect your oral surgery will have on your calorie requirements but it's bound to screw up your water retention. It seems so recently that you were struggling to see the Onederland! Don't beat yourself up and look at this as a learning experience. We're here for you through this just as you've been here for all of us!7 -
@CaliMomTeach Can you do a family after dinner bike ride? Are the kids old enough to help? My daughter is a teacher also. She gets up early (4:30am-ugh) and does an exercise video. I could not have done that myself, I'm not a morning person!5

8/31 - 132.1 I am the epitome of a yoyo for the last 2 months. I have to believe that if I want the loss bad enough, I will do the right thing. Obviously, I am not going to reach 130# this month. I leave tomorrow and return home to my regular scale. I will be interested to see what it reads
But it's not just about the numbers!

I'm just trying to rule out things that may be stalling the weight loss. I'm going to start measuring myself, because I think I'm also gaining muscle, or at least toning up. Just keep swimming!
Your TDEE, or the amount that would keep you the same weight is around 2100 for a 229 pound woman who is sedentary. If you do any exercise, that number would go up. I'm guessing you have your weight loss rate set to 2 pounds and are asking if you should eat back exercise calories.
To stay healthy, you want to not go below net calories of 1200 --which is pretty darn low. Let's say you do 200 calories worth of exercise. Arguably, you should now not go below 1400 at a minimum to get all the nutrients you need.
Now, a lot of folks only eat back 1/2 the calories MFP or some other sources give for exercise because the source seems to over estimate. So, using the above example, if MFP says you burned 200 calories then you could change that to 100 and eat 1300 calories and probably be pretty safe.
Another thing to try that would be easier on the numbers is to set your rate to 1 pound a week and ignore the exercise, as long as you are sure you aren't burning more than 500 a day and just eat at that new rate. It may be more sustainable for you.

With all that walking, I imagine water has a big effect on your weight. Don't let it get to you. It's the overall trend that matters not a couple pounds up or down overnight -- that's just the water your body needs going in and out.3 -
