@dlhollin1 - if you've lost 40 pounds in 18 months you definitely do NOT "suck at this." - so you've had a rough 17 days - big deal - go back and read TerriRichardson112's advice. Spot on. Dude.
@cyranda63 -"wooshes" are a beautiful thing.
@nikki062181 - what a great compliment - and validation. Keep it up!
Thank you so much!5 -

8/31 - 226.0 -starting off with a nice even number! Looking forward to pushing myself the next 10 days! Going to the gym today before going out of town for 3 days. I have my meals all planned and will get a chicken salad if going out for food. I will be drinking at least 5 bottles of water.
9/01 - 226.6 - expected it to go up as I did not make it to the gym and ate some salty bacon wrapped pork and perogies - I portioned it though! I am going out of town the next few days and won't be able to exercise so I will focus on trying to eat healthy and hopefully will come back weighing less than 226.6. I am bring my scale as well to weigh my food. I will look for a scale to weigh myself but if I don't find one I'll be back on the 5th!
9/02 - no scale -out of town
9/03 - no scale - out of town
9/04 -226.2!!!! Omg first time ever where i have gone on a trip and not come back weighing 5-10lbs more because I binged on everything! Im in shock!!! I ate out most meals but ordered either a wrap or salad. I treated myself to a traditional milkshake and a piece of chocolate cake to help with TOM cravings. I felt crappy after. Wow. Feeling super motivated to keep moving the numbers down on the scale rather than having to play catch up!!!!!
9/05 - 225.2! Lowest yet. Feeling great to be back into my routine. Went to the gym. Did groceries. Will hopefully get some meal prep done (If baby allows it) and maybe go for a little walk down our waterfront. I'm going to try to get down another 0.5-1lbs before the end of this challenge! I'm realizing my goal of losing 3lbs in 10 days may not be realistic/healthy so for next round I will bump it down to 2.
9/06 - 223.4 . Wow big jump!!! Probably due to a little dehydration from the gym (although I drank 125oz of water). My weight in for the Biggest Loser challenge tomorrow so hoping to maintain! I went to the gym yesterday and 4.5km walk. Heading to the gym now and picking up a few more groceries to make a few recipes I picked out. We are going on a mini honeymoon in 10 days so hoping to lose as much as I can before then and keep it off! I'm also almost at my goal weight for this 10 day challenge!

R14 SW-160.38
Current weight-158.4
10 Day Goal: Want to get into 157's.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/31- 158.4 Still holding steady here. I am beyond sick right now, with no actual care what I eat.
9/01- 158.14 This is probably from being sick not actual loss.
9/02- 157.3 Again due to illness not actual loss.
9/03- 156.86 Feeling better today, but still a bit weak. I expect to see a rise in my weight over the next few days now that I'll be eating regularly.
9/04- 157.08 I expected some gain, so I'm fine with this. Hopefully it won't go up much more. I've been super busy but sticking to my calories.
9/05- 156.42 I wasn't expecting this number and think it might just be a fluke. lol Today was a good day for me. I managed to walk a mile, which I haven't done in a very long time.
9/06- 156.86 I was hungry all day today, but I managed to limit my snacks. Another mile complete.

8/31 166.8 Happy to be back in the challenge after being away for a week. Business trip to NYC and I lost a pound! I will attribute that to less alcohol, more water, and a LOT of walking!
9/01 168.1 Pretty sure I know what this is from. I want to say TOM, but not sure when that's happening due to hormones and heat waves in my body... ugh. I am hot, I am irritable, there is a heat wave coming this weekend... Yesterday I ate too much, did not track, and did not do any planned exercise. I did get my water in, though, and am drinking it like crazy today. It's a new day and so far, so good.
9/02 168.1 Went running on the treadmill this morning after a restless night of sleep. Went out to the coast to beat the heat! Avoided a lot of sweets from here to the beach and back. Stuck with my lemonade water (I have the little 5 calorie packets of Crystal Light lemonade water enhancers for when I am not motivated to drink my water and tempted to drink sweet icy things like Starbucks iced caramel macchiattos).
9/03 166.8
9/04 166.1 It was very hot here yesterday. Drank a lot of water just to avoid the headaches. I am up to 25 minutes of running at a time on the treadmill now. Still tracking. So grateful for a day off of work today!
9/05 167.7 I took the day off yesterday and relaxed with the family. Which meant no exercise and some what I know were high sodium treats.
9/06 165.8 Would like for this to stick, so trying to stay on track today. Have had a busy work day. Totally need a run, but have Back to School Night tonight. Boo. I mean...I love my kids!
Good thing the gym is open until 9:30.

@farmgirlco Do you have a smiley in your post? not a My Fitness Pal smiley but one you create yourself with : + )? If you do it will cut off your post at that point.
YES I DID HAVE EMOJIS!! I will try that tomorrow. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

Back again a little late. Got really discouraged and gave up last round. So frustrating to not have that scale change more than a pound up and down for the last month. I've been eating so much better and exercising 3-4 times a week. Its just not enough but I am going to keep plugging along....

Round 14: SW 166.4, EW 165.6 (-0.8 lb),
LW 165.6, HW 167.2, AVG 166.2
Day/Weight/Comment
8/31: 165.8 Normal fluctuation. Did not want to weigh today - late night snack attack. Somehow thought a dinner of carrots and hummus would be enough. Wrong! Lesson learned.
9/01: 165.2 New 2-year low! Will not overdo it this holiday weekend!
9/02: 164.6 Nice! 10-day average is now under 166. Yay!
9/03: 164.4 Note to self: This is NOT a free pass to overindulge at tomorrow's BBQ.
Me.
9/04: 163.6 Fourth consecutive day of loss. Really liking this trend! Been doing less cardio and more strength exercises.
9/05: 163.8 Normal fluctuation. Still under goal for this round and seventh day out of the 166's. Yay!
9/06: 164.2 Ignoring this one as I weighed much earlier than usual. Plus only got a couple hours of sleep so my little organs didn't get time to do their jobs. Let's see what tomorrow brings!

I believe in my ability to MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES, to LOSE WEIGHT, and KEEP IT OFF!8 -
Currently doing 5:2
R13 SW - 71.2kg (157)
R14 SW - 71.5kg (157.6)
R15 SW - 72.2kg (159.2)
It looks like I’ve gone up since starting this challenge but last round I reached my goal of 69 something however timing was bad and I had travel for work which included a lot of functions and drinking so I’m confident this ‘gain’ will come down this round after I get back into 5:2.
R15 Goal - 69kg something (152.2 - 154.1)
8/31 - 72.2kg (159.2) - a lot is water weight so trying not to stress. No exercise and have had a big couple of days of eating out and drinking due to work trip.
9/01 - 71.5kg (157.6)
9/02 - 72.2kg (159.2) - pizza last night
9/03 - 72.9kg (160.7)
9/04 - 72.8kg (160.5)
9/05 - 71.5kg (157.6) - work travel has really played havoc with me this week. Need to get back to the 60s quickly to feel better about myself.
9/06 - 71.3kg (157.2)
9/07 - 70.9kg (156.3) - don’t think I’m going to make my goal. Friday dinner is always out

I see a lot of people upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight can fluctuate from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:
- Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
- A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
- A high sodium day usually results in water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.
You are making positive lifestyle changes which will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way! [/b]

Round 15 Target weight: 162
30/8/2017: 163 A week's holiday last round put me up a bit again, but have already lost 2/3 of it.31/9/2017: 162 Yes!!! Goals ✅ Another one bites the dust. Overdid the sodium yesterday, but drank extra water to flush it out.4/9/2017: 163.4 Goals ✅ Small drop. Back on track. Just a couple of slack days have consequences.
1/9/2017: 156.6 or 164.2 I got both readings this morning, and a whole lot in between. Scale is being temperamental. I moved it all over the joint, changed the batteries, still going haywire. Goals ✅ Did a lot of sitting at the computer, may not have hydrated enough. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Technology can be annoying!
2/9/2017: 162.2 Phew! Scale has settled down again! Goals ✅ Had a good workout 1st thing. Lots of water. Sticking to my goals and daily plan.
2/9/2017: 163.8 I was expecting that. Goals ✅ apart from a minor blowout on chocolate after dinner. Drank lots of water early in the day, but forgot to combat the sodium in lunch/dinner later in the day. Live and Learn!
5/9/2017: 162.6 Goals ✅ Much better. Still working on losing holiday baggage from the summer.
6/9/2017: 161 Goals ✅ I have finally lost the holiday baggage from the summer months. Time to batten down the hatches and go for my ultimate goal.
7/9/2017: 161.8 Goals ✅ Normal fluctuation. Often get a bounce after a whoosh. Still below where I started the summer, and my R15 target.

Burnt stir fry this morning so I'll have to buy lunch today. AND it's food market day. Will see how it goes. I actually dropped 1.7 lbs between Round 3 and Round 14. Maybe I'll set -1.7 as my goal for this round... slow and steady. WAVES to all who check in today.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31 - 73.9kg (162.9lbs)
9/01 - 73.9kg (162.9lbs) - Only did 60 min yoga yesterday and ate cake in the afternoon (work thing) so wasn't expecting a shift in weight. Don't think I went over my calories though (had to estimate the cake) - but I have my allowed intake set to just 100 kcal less than my TDEE (like I said - don't have that much to lose so taking things slow and trying not to eat back all my exercise calories instead).
9/02 - 73.9kg (162.9lbs) - Had Pizza Hut for dinner yesterday so wasn't expecting that!
9/03 - 73.7kg (~162.4lbs)
9/04 - ? - Woke up late and didn't have time to weigh myself, so since I usually do it the same time in the morning I'm skipping today.
9/05 - 73.7kg (~162.4lbs)
9/06 - 74.4kg (164lbs) - Had a thing at work yesterday, so not only did I have a three course dinner, I also had two glasses of wine. But oh well, hopefully it'll be gone again in a few days!

Main target this round (and most likely the next round) is to lose the weight I gained over the holidays...
8/31: 65.9kg - same as yesterday
9/01: 65.5kg - in a good flow, accurate logging and firmly back in the (spinning) saddle
9/02: 65.3kg - can't wait to see the back of 65kg again
9/03: 64.8kg - wow, super happy with this, looks like I'm dropping it as quick as I put it on
9/04: 64.7kg - struggled yesterday, but determined to keep this up
9/05: 64.7kg - same as yesterday, which is fine
9/06: 64.7kg - patience patience patience...
9/07: 64.3kg - that's better!

Second round for me. This round will be a challenge itself as before my period I have irrational cravings. If I get through them without gaining weight then it will be already a complete challenge!
R14: start 61.3, end 60.9, average, 61.0 (-0.4kg)
R15: goal 60.5 kg (New Goal 9/04: get under 61 kg)
Ultimate goal: 57 kg
8/31 61.0 - cravings started yesterday evening. I I went out to meet some dear friends, ordered salad and water, but still felt hungry after that. Then ordered nachos (boo)! Thankfully that the scale showed only +0.1kg . Hope I can start running soon, as I am healed from last week's cold.
9/01 61.1 - chaotic day, had a lot of stuff to do. I ate when I could, and what I could find.
9/02 61.2 - chaotic day #2. Felt very tired and ice cream was my friend in need.
9/03 61.5 - Darn, last night I ate out, a little bit too much bread, but my oh my it was goood! The kind of food that is worth the extra weight and 10km it needs to loose the wieght.
9/04 61.4 - NEW goal for this round: get under 61. I am still happy to be in the 61s as 66 was my fiend for a while.
9/05 60.7 - HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? Glad it did, though Ate some cake yesterday, and french fries, so -0.7 kg it's a miracle..
9/06 60.7 - held yesterday's weight. 50minutes of swimming, 2km running (came up after 2 weeks break when I was sick, and could not run more).
9/07 61.3 - cravings before my period starting to kick in. Hopefully will keep the 61.0 by the end of the round.
