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

SW 235.5
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!
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 -

Last round’s “mid-weight” was a bit up because of a logging hiatus for 4 days but it ended at a new low so hoping for more normalcy this round and ending it nicely down in the 250s. Goal for this round is no drama! CICO!!
Round 8/1: HW 274.4 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
Round 10/3: HW 269 LW 266.4 MidW = 267.7
Round 11/4: HW 267.4 LW 264.2 MidW = 265.8
Round 12/5: HW 264.8 LW 261.2 MidW = 263.0
Round 13/6: HW 263.8 LW 260.6 MidW = 262.2
Round 14/7: HW 266.4 LW 259.2 MidW = 262.8
/31 359.4 -- How nice to start out a challenge in the 250s. The top of the 250s but I’ll take it!
9/01 261.2 -- Not unexpected. Ate a commercial pizza sodium bomb and snacked away any deficit. Back to normal today and aiming toward a low sodium day, too. Lots of water to be drunk..

Getting serious (again) about taking better care of myself and getting in shape. This is my first time doing one of these challenges, but I'm excited to be joining in!
Height: 5'9"
Starting weight: 188.4
Highest weight: 191.6
Goal weight: 160
Current daily goal is to log EVERYTHING I eat and drink (even if it's cringe-worthy). Weekly goals are to do meal plans for each week and work out at least 3x. I've been on bed rest for a couple weeks due to medical issues, but looks like I'm cleared for moderate workouts!

Ok, let's do this! Had TOM last round and didn't end up meeting my goal. I'm gonna change that! It's such a small goal, I can do it!!!
R14SW: 170.2
Current weight: 168.0
Goal: <168 (I just want to see 7's!!!)
8/31 - 168.0 - holding steady. Haven't gotten to go to the gym due to long work nights and school after. Won't make it tonight but hoping to tomorrow.
9/01 - 168.2 - starting to think my scale is conspiring against me...it keeps flickering on 167 then landing on 168. Going to the gym tonight! Want to do some zumba! I might weigh myself on their scale while I'm there...

Round 15: 166.8
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.

8/31 / 209.5 / Another rest day yesterday. Getting pumped to go for a run tonight!
9/01 / 208.6 / 3.3 miles last night. Not sure if this is accurate, i stepped on the scale and it was 209.5 then my daughter stepped on and then i stepped on again three more times and each time it was 208.6. So i'm going with it... lol

Alright, I need some advice from those women who have been on this weight loss journey at some point in their lives while finding out they are pregnant! I'm super excited about the new finding but I know I'm supposed to be eating more than I am right now (1200 no matter what). They say to eat 1800-2000 but omg. I feel like I'll be gaining instead of just maintaining current weight at this point, which is awful Advice? I'm thinking of just keeping track on here to keep eating healthy..
