9/14: 310.8 : The same again. I'm just maintaining now. More water I think.
9/15: 310.8
9/16: 311.8 : Gone up because of over cals last night.6 -
Helllllooooo! I'm in again! I think I started joining this challenge in round 2 or 3? Weighing and logging daily has definitely been a huge motivator for me...along with this group as we do this together!!
SW - March 2017 - 182.4
GW - Was originally 150 but now that I expect to get there pretty soon I'm thinking I'd like to make that the top of my maintenance range...so now I'm going to shoot for 145...but get there slowly so by the time I'm there I've got a really good idea of what calorie and activity level I need to maintain to stay in that general vicinity.
9/09 - 150.4 - coming in from round 15...goal for round 16 is to break 150 and have the BMI number on my tracker not be in the "overweight" range for the first time in probably 11 years.
Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 - 151.6 - normal blip on a weekend after a big drop week....not worried.
9/11 - 151.2 - Happy Monday! I always find the work week routine easier to keep so I'm looking forward to progress in the right direction.
9/12 - 151.8 - Up early for a client this morning so my "elimination schedule" is a bit off...my activity and calories have been on point the last couple of days so I know it will come off. Just doing my typical "bounce around a pound" before it whooshes on the scale.
9/13 - 151.2 - Still bouncing around this pound
9/14 - 151.4 - and another 151 number....
9/15 - 151.0 - SOOO close LOL...I've been below 151 twice!! Just wasn't going to happen again today. Hoping to stay on track this weekend so I can break this barrier...but hubby is bringing lobster home from the east coast today so I expect a feast tonight...
9/16 - 149.0!!!!! - WHOOSH...there it is!!! BMI 24.8!!! Trust the science people!! Even when it looks like you're not progressing your body is doing what it needs to do. Consume fewer calories than you spend and it will come off. On another note....hubby's flight was delayed yesterday so the Lobster feast is tonight...and I'm going to relish in every butter drenched bite!!!

I wanted to edit to add this....
This is daily weighing (execept for 2 trips I had no scale) over the last 6 months. It's not linear...a lot of ups and downs but I got where I wanted to go.

Back in for another 10 days!A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:Round 15: (Target: 162) Highest, 163.8; lowest, 161; Mean, 161.8 It's slow, but I am very happy with the downward trend.- 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.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.

No need to thank me. We all need someone to have our backs. It's easy to get derailed on our weight loss journey when our world feels like it's going down the toilet. We need people to support us not just through our weight loss but for everything. We're like a family.

Love, love, love this group! I'm really hoping to step up my water intake these 10 days. I really struggled doing that last round. My goal this round is to lose between 1 - 2lbs.
SW: 202
CW: 175
GW: 173.5
UGW: 125
09/10: 175 My Mom is still in the hospital. I've been there with her the last several days. According to the xrays, nothing has changed. Since I've been there, I haven't been getting as many steps in as I have been. I definitely didn't drink much water, and my calorie intake was low.
09/11: 176.6 Well, the whoosh I had last week, I've gained back due to lack of water consumption or hormones.
My ovulation cycle is always so hard on me. I think I feel the worst then. Of course, being at the hospital and not moving much isn't great either. However, I managed to get my lesson plans done while I was there.
09/12: 175.8 Well, I managed to drink more water yesterday, and I put in about 7500 steps, which is a lot for me considering the field I work in. I hope I get back to 174.4 (where I ended last round) by the time this round ends at least.
09/13: 175 lbs Mom was moved into a rehab facility last night. She's slightly improved but no significant change. She has no strength at all. She doesn't want to be there, but she can't be alone. She doesn't want to be with us either because it's 30 minutes away from the cancer center. My husband is beside himself. I just pray that I have the strength that he and I both need to carry him through this. Upside: I managed to get 44 oz of water in the last two days. Woot! I've been struggling with just 28. So, I'm proud of that.
09/14: 176.2 I know this is from sodium due to Mexican for dinner, but after the 2 weeks we've had and no family time due to being at the hospital and now rehab, I think we deserved it. It was our first evening together as a family...just the 5 of us.
09/15: 175 I'm back to the same weight for the 3rd time. Lol I need to drink more water.
09/16: 174.4 It was such a busy day yesterday. I put in over 11,000 steps! MIND BLOWN! I even have 6 boys in my house since my sons have their buddies over.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 - 228.4 - I'm not at all surprised by this. We at at diners twice yesterday and I didn't even attempt to be healthy about it. I'm sure this is a combo of sodium bloat and not getting enough sleep lately. Hopefully back down tomorrow after lots of water today.
9/11 - 227.0 - heading back down. Should settle out in another day or so now that I'm back in my routine.
9/12 - 225.8 - alright! sodium bloat be gone! Almost back at my starting weight for this round. I think things should be smoother this week (no more 19 hour work days - I hope)
9/13 - 225.0 - new low! Things are back on track, but I'm not sure if I'll make my goal for the round. I'm OK with it if I don't, though. Just happy about progress.
9/14 - 225.0 - I'm always OK with holding steady. Pizza for dinner last night might be messing with this a little. We'll see what the morning looks like.
9/15 - 224.8 - things continue to move as they should. I'm pleased.

10 Day Goal: Can I make it to 154?
Day/Weight/Comment
9/10- 155.98 Running around doing errands all day. Didn't manage anything but a granola bar until dinner. Ate a big bowl of Tomato, Veggie, Barley Soup with half a pressed grilled cheese and feel stuffed. Quite a bit under calories, but will attempt a healthy snack later. What do others do when they haven't even hit 1000 calories and it is past bedtime?
9/11- 155.54 The weather here had been pretty ugly today making it difficult to feel motivated to do much. I've ate plenty healthy, but I'm having difficulty getting back to exercising.
9/12- 155.54 Planned to go walking while my son was at rowing, but it was raining. Maintaining calories, but seriously need to push the exercise. ugg
9/13- 155.76 Slight increase, but feeling heavy today like yesterday's food is still sat in my stomach. Need to up water and activity.
9/14- 155.1 Getting so close to saying goodbye to 155. Had a meeting at my son's school which usually means going out to dinner, but I planned ahead and had dinner waiting in the crockpot when we finished instead.
9/15 155.32 Keeping falling asleep before posting. Weight loss is slower this round, but I am maintaining my calories. I'm still happy with my progress, but would love to see 154.XX on the scale.

Goal for this round is to continue to work on increasing my stretching.
Day/Weight/Comment
9/10--226.6 This is a normal fluctuation. I know that I did not drink a lot of water yesterday, I find it is difficult on the weekends. However, yesterday I successfully ate at my calorie level, which I find is a challenge on the weekends, and I stretched. Today I'm going out for lunch, so the weight will probably be up tomorrow from the additional sodium.
9/11--227.9 There it is. The additional sodium from lunch yesterday plus a lack of hydration results in the gain. No worries, will just wait for it to go. I did get my stretching in yesterday, so that is a plus.
9/12--227.2 Ugh, forgot to stretch yesterday. Sill working on making it a habit.
9/13--226.4 Stretched yesterday. My NSV yesterday was that I was feeling bored at about 7:30 last night and felt like eating even though I wasn't hungry, so I went for a run instead...I haven't run in over 7 months.
9/14--225.9 Back to where I started. I have really tightened up my food weighing/tracking the last few days and it shows. Stretched yesterday.
9/15--225.3 I didn't think I was going to go down on the scale today because I had trouble sleeping last night and I thought it would affect my weigh in, but I'll take it. Forgot to stretch yesterday--still working on making it a habit.
9/16--225.7 I will take it--ate about 700 calories over my calorie amounts. I think some of it has to do with the fact that I was tired, but it could have been a lot worse. Main goal for today is to keep hydrated. Forgot to stretch.

End of Round 13: 140.4 (8/20/17)

End of Round 15: 143.3 (9/10/17- I quit weighing/logging toward the end of Round 15. I felt like I needed a break, and the break pushed my weight up so much. I'm sure I can get it back down (hopefully not actual fat gain in just a few days) with a lot of effort this round.)
47 yo female. 5'6
Goal this round: Stick to logging and staying under 1300 cal. or 1650 with 30 min. elliptical all 10 days.
9/10 143.3
9/11 142.4 30 min elliptical, ate under calories, sodium still high (costco chicken tortilla soup)
9/12 140.4 30 min elliptical, at just under calorie goal
9/13 140.3 30 min elliptical, just under calorie goal
9/14 140.9 30 min elliptical, just under calorie goal
9/15 141.7 no exercise, over by 485 calories (almost TOM, did not make goal of all 10 days)
9/16 141.5 no exercise, over by about 750 calories! After a year of doing great with logging most of the time, I am suddenly having days of just not wanting to do it anymore. I need to get back on track. It's stress-related I think. Both work and home have been extra challenging lately. Also, I just miss eating what I want, when I want. My weight is fine for me I know. I have a very large frame, so 140 looks pretty thin on me. Maybe it's time for me to just focus on maintaining at this weight, instead of getting to the magical 135 number that I set in my brain?? I'm 5'6 and wearing mostly a size 4, some 6, and mostly size small. Maybe I am just trying to get to too low of a weight for me? I have my daily goal set at 1300. When I do the elliptical, I add 350 calories (my machine says that I am burning about 530 calories, but I doubt it's that high). I just don't want to start putting weight back on. I started at 193 pounds about 13 1/2 months ago. I don't ever want to go there again. I think being 47 (probably nearing menopause) with TOM happening every 3 1/2 weeks now, my cravings for junk are getting intense the week before. I can tell it's about to start, and all I want is to eat.

Back again!I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Ended Round 15 at 142. I'm at roughly .5 a week loss. For this round I'd like to hit the 140's and stay in the 40's.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/9 ended round 15 at 142
9/10 141.4 Yeah! Lots of walking at fest. 2year old's will do help with that. Brought my own food and left in cooler. Went to parking lot to eat it. So not elegant, but so healthy. Here's to another round of healthy choices by all.
9/11 142.2 That's the way this cookie rolls. Cooked a turkey and ate more than usual and no exercise. Goal for today is exercise - it;s been over a week - and fiber!!! Salad!
9/12 141.4 Yeah! Made it to gym yesterday and pushed protein and fiber and water. Goals for today: elliptical at least 30m, 80 oz water min, and stay within carb limits.
9/13 142.4 The number is up but surprisingly little since I had appetizers and drinks out. It's water weight. Made it to aqua arthritis yesterday. Goals for today: either gym (if son home to watch grandson early enough)or else ellip or maybe even both!!! Stick to veggies and lean protein today and at least 80 oz of water. Happy hump day.
9/14 142.2 Expected better. Did gym yesterday and way below on cals and carbs. Must be water from the workout. Going out for a friend's bday dinner tonight. Already checked the restaurant's online menu and have my meal picked out to stay within goals. Hopefully.
9/15 142 I'll take it! Happy to not be up after drinks and dinner last night. Saved the majority of cals and carbs for the dinner out. I usually divide them up pretty evenly during the day so I'm not eating so much late and boy did I feel it; very stuffed. Today, gym and pool. No exercise yesterday as I did householdy things like defrost freezer and freeze veggies.
9/16 141.2 Hello "1", nice to see you again. Yesterday gym and pool and below on carbs and cals. Today, I'm having lunch out - this will be the 3rd time eating out this week and I don't normally do that- so I am thrilled by this number. Again, I am checking out restaurant's menu online and deciding what will work best before going. Then I have to babysit for a family so no exercise today.

9/10 - Hurricane Irma
9/11 - Hurricane Irma
9/12 - 133 so I am a bit off since Hurricane Irma. Living in So. Fl most of the year, I have been a little preoccupied - cooped up in the house with nothing to do, but cook, eat and watch a hurricane. I finally got to the gym today, but did not log. Hopefully tomorrow I will be back on track and back on goal. We are all fine and if the worst thing that happened to me was gaining a little weight, a few lost screens and trees, I'll take it! On ward and upward (or downward preferably)
9/13 - 132.8 trying to get to the gym today. I feel like it's a struggle right now. But I'll be good.
9/14 - 131.6 got to the gym yesterday and ran 4.5 miles today. Still have not logged. I will start right now.
9/15 - 131.2
9/16 - 131.8 I am definitely not on task like I should be. Very sporadic.

This is my first round! I've been lurking for a couple of rounds but I decided it was finally time to join. Trying not to lose too quickly because I find I tend to go off the rails if I lose too quickly.

End of round goal: 146
Goal: Get to maintenance 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

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.
9/02 148 ~ (Steps 15,232 Miles 6) ~ We went to the Spring fair so my diet wasn't like it usually is, I was able to stay under my calorie goal, making smart choice. I also got a workout after the fair.
9/03 148.5....147.9 ~ (Steps 17,547 Miles 7) ~ Again with the gain, doing everything right, I log everything, stay within my goal, sodium is low, get my water in. I'm going to try dropping my intake to see how that works!
9/04 148 ~ (Steps 15,435 Miles 6) ~ We ended up going to dinner last night but I was able to make healthy choices, in fact taking half home for breakfast today, with such large portions
9/5 147.4 ~ (Steps 17,376 Miles 7) ~ Spent most of the day getting ready to head to my daughter's for the week. Met all my goals for the day.
9/6 I didn't have time at my daughter's in the morning
9/7 148.6 ~ (Steps 12,787 Miles 5) ~ All around good day, just ate late so weight was up!
9/8 148 ~ (Steps 24,548 Miles 9.75) ~ I was able to get some nice walks in with my grandkids and daughter. Our dinner consisted of a grilled spinach salad. Today going back home so tomorrow's weigh in will be with my scale.
9/9 147.9 ~ (Steps 15,416 Miles 6) ~ Yesterday was hard to stay focus but I was able to get a nice morning walk in plus stay under my calorie goal.

9/10 147.4 ~ (Steps 18,550 Miles 7.25) ~ Yesterday was a tough day really tired from spending the week watching my grandkids. I was able to get a workout last night at the gym. Also even though we went out to lunch I was able to make healthy choices.
9/11 146.9 ~ (Steps 20,239 Miles 8) ~ Since it was a good day to exercise outs I decided to get a morning, afternoon and evening walks in. No late night snacking is helping with the scale going downs!
9/12 145.9 ~ (Steps 23,221 Miles 9.2) ~ It seems to be helping me walking after dinner, yay!
9/13 146.5 ~ (Steps 21,251 Miles 8.50) ~ All around good day with exercise and diet so I don't understand why scale is up. I didn't get a workout in AFTER dinner, maybe,
9/14 Didn't weigh in
9/15 146.7 ~ (Steps 23,040 Miles 9.25) ~ I'm not surprised my weight is up since Wednesday night the, Late night snacking, was bad, I received my Piyo tapes from Amazon so starting Sunday I'm starting that.
9/16 145.6 ~ (Steps 18,392 Miles 7.25) ~ I hit all my goals including my protein and fiber macros

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10: 130.4
Today is the second day in a row I've gone up. Yesterday was the second day in a row I'd over eaten. Well ok then. Let's hope I do better tonight because we are watching a soccer game and we ALWAYS order pizza. I've already made a conscious decision not to eat it if my husband does order it. He fell off the healthy wagon and it's started affecting my eating occasionally, which honestly may be good, as I was being very restrictive. But in other ways I am worried that I will fall off the wagon too. Balance.
9/11: 129.6
Yay! No pizza. My knees started hurting last night though, which in my case means I need to be exercising them more. However, we are in preservation mode right now, as Irma is on top of us!!
9/12: 129.6
Staying steady. It seems like when I drink a good bit of water my weight doesn't fluctuate as much.
9/13: 129.2
That's great and all but since I'm reporting my weight at the end of the day (even though I weighed in this AM), I will confess that I just a huge thing of Japanese ice cream. Sorry not sorry. Guess it's time to chug water. Can you pee out calories? Lololol!!
9/14: 129.2
Steady is better than gaining I suppose.
9/15 129.2
9/16: 129.2
This seems to be a new plateau for me. I'm getting th hubby to check the scale for me if it hasn't fluctuated at all for the rest of the challenge. Usually it moves around a little bit.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 156 DH woke me by saying "hey, it's 8:25!" I wanted to be at WW by 9! Made coffee, dressed and dashed! 157 clothed @ Weight Watchers. Whoo hoo! 11.5# since my first post vacay check-in. I am super happy.
9/11 156.5 EPL Churro??
9/12 157 Ate a small salad with chicken and egg at 8:30pm and went to bed at 10.
9/13 156 Had a snack late last night due to early lun-ner and girls volleyball
9/14 155.5 Buffet lunch and a movie yesterday. Didn't even THINK about theater popcorn which used to be a driving factor in going to the movies!
9/15 155.5 I'm good with that. Potluck celebration of life for a friend last night. You know potluck food! I didn't even think about dessert!
9/16 156 Hmm. Meeting with my quilting ladies for food and drinks this afternoon5 -
ROUND 16 - My Round 3
I ended last round 0.1 above where I started, having to navigate the first week of school, inservice, Labor Day, and 2 celebrations for mom's birthday. So here is how we are starting:
SW 162
Round 16 goal: anywhere 159.9 or below
9/10 162 - was out to eat yesterday and did in fact go down a few ounces. No official workout yesterday due to getting my FIL checked into a care facility and dealing with all of that. Losing weight while dealing with adult responsibilities is hard. Got up today and got in 50 mins of Zumba at home before starting the day.
9/11 162.8 - WHAT?? I worked out yesterday and had a pretty big deficit at the end of the day - WHAT??
9/12 162.6 ugh. Was hoping for better.
9/13 161.8 better - cut down on the snacks at work (the kiddos I work with have a reward box - sometimes it's hard to avoid the rewards myself!) and cut down on the food after dinner. Hoping to continue this trend.
9/14 161.7 - the correct direction right?? Even though it's 0.1??
9/15 161.7 - lots of steps again but snacking at work - tracking the snacking as well as I can...
9/16 161.5 - better - right direction - even though I can't keep it together during the day at work - been trying to snack on goldfish crackers instead of m&m's though...maybe I'll get some bite size things to keep around my desk to grab instead this week...we will see. Already got in 65 minutes of Leslie Sansone miracle miles today so that's a plus
9/17

This is my first round (and new to MFP). Hoping to get down to 188 this time around and never see those 190s again!
Round 16
9/10 191.2
9/11 190.2
9/12 191.2. I ate really well yesterday, so am hoping this is just water retention. Am super sore from working out the last couple days, so will focus on hydration and hope for improvement.
9/13 189.2. Yay!! I had a crazy day and didn't eat super well today, though I stayed within my calories. Hoping the sugar doesn't mess with this downward trajectory.
9/14 187.6. Whaaattt??! Was super excited when this hit the scale this morning, but then proceeded to eat drink too much at a networking event. Was way over my calories for the day.
9/15 189.6. Expected this, but still disappointed. Probably need to manage my expectations and get used to the daily fluctuations a little bit more, though I think it's good to see what a effect a bad day has on the scale...
9/16 188.8. Better! Motivated by that 187 a couple days ago, so now it's time to work out!!

9/10: 201.8 -- worked out, well over calories. Damn you, wine, cocktails, and 24-hour taqueria.
9/11: 202.6 -- over calories, no workout.
9/12: 201.8 -- under calories, worked out.
9/13: 202.6 -- under calories, worked out. Over this.
9/14: 201.8 -- under calories, worked out.
9/15: 201.8 -- under calories, worked out. When the whoosh happens it better be *kitten* spectacular.
9/16: 199.8 -- ok, that qualifies. I don't expect this to stick although it won't stop me from hoping. Less than 100 calories over yesterday, walked (even ran a bit) but no other workout.

Helllllooooo! I'm in again! I think I started joining this challenge in round 2 or 3? Weighing and logging daily has definitely been a huge motivator for me...along with this group as we do this together!!
SW - March 2017 - 182.4
GW - Was originally 150 but now that I expect to get there pretty soon I'm thinking I'd like to make that the top of my maintenance range...so now I'm going to shoot for 145...but get there slowly so by the time I'm there I've got a really good idea of what calorie and activity level I need to maintain to stay in that general vicinity.
9/16 - 149.0!!!!! - WHOOSH...there it is!!! BMI 24.8!!! Trust the science people!! Even when it looks like you're not progressing your body is doing what it needs to do. Consume fewer calories than you spend and it will come off. On another note....hubby's flight was delayed yesterday so the Lobster feast is tonight...and I'm going to relish in every butter drenched bite!!!

I wanted to edit to add this....
This is daily weighing (execept for 2 trips I had no scale) over the last 6 months. It's not linear...a lot of ups and downs but I got where I wanted to go.
Congrats!!! Way to go!4 -

9/15 155.8 surprised to see this after a long long work day without exercise. Now onto the weekend!
9/16 156.8 up and down we go.... but over all down. It's always been that way and I've learned to not freak out when it goes up because I know if I keep up good habits it will overall go down. Happy Saturday!
I'm the same, up a pound, down a pound and a half. It's our bodies way of trying to keep us on an even keel. Homeostasis.4
