9/10 - 228
9/11 - 227 - Using industrial skid scale at work until I find mine
Only when no one is looking of course. Also started my first day of couch to 5k this am - Feeling awesome!
9/12 - 231 - I'm appalled with the scale. I got on twice just to make sure I was not crazy! Huge let down after a great second day of C25K. So frustrated right now.
9/13 - 231 - Whatever.
9/14 - 227 - Feeling relieved to see this - I was seriously nervous this morning. Tomorrow my new running shoes arrive and I'm looking forward to getting out of these numbers for good! Didn't have time for C25K this am so alternated between running 1-3 minutes and walking for 1 for a total of 20 minutes. Not what I wanted but at least I did something! Officially under my starting weight for this round!
9/15 - 227 - Wish the number had moved down but I will take it. Picking up shoes today!
9/16 - No weigh in
9/17 - 224.4 - Found a scale at my moms!
9/18 - 220.4 - Found my scale! HUGE difference between the industrial scale at work and my personal one. 7 pound difference since Friday! Best weekend ever! I would really like the get under the 220 mark for the last day tomorrow...big decisions today will make or break that wish. Keep it together woman! Just give me 24 hours!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10: 223.4 .......Went to an ice cream social last night at church. Had more ice cream than people; now I have 1 1/2 half gallons of ice cream in my freezer!
9/11: 223.8 ........... Brought my grandson a Lil Caesar's pizza yesterday, but when I got
home, his mother had picked him up, so the 1 slice I had eaten turned into 3! I mean, somebody's got to eat it, right! Oh, did I mention the ice cream? Well, there's only one half gallon left now! The Wellness Ctr. wasn't open this morning because of Irma, so I didn't get my workout! What can I say? That's life; and life goes on! Tomorrow the pizza will be gone, cookies & cream is not my favorite ice cream, the center will be open again, and things will be back to normal! Look out 220, here I come! LET'S MAKE SEPTEMBER A MONTH TO REMEMBER!!!
9/12: 222.4....Hello MFP family! Guess what? Today is the first day of the rest of my life!
9/13: 222.4.....Looking for 221 tomorrow, and 220 before the end of this challenge! ONWARD AND DOWNWARD!
9/14: 222.1......Well, I didn't make 221, but I was close! If I do right today, I'll make it tomorrow for sure. And if not tomorrow, the day after; the point being, I WILL MAKE IT!!!!
9/15: 221.5.........Awwww, looka there now; didn't I tell ya I was gonna make it!!! Oh, yes I Did!
I have two funerals this weekend - one Saturday and one Sunday, and both of them are close kin! That means food, food, and more FOOD! 
The five hour drive alone will make me hold fluid! Well, what can I say? I SURE HOPE THEY HAVE SALAD (AND I DON'T MEAN POTATO)!!! 
9/16: 221.8.....Weighed at 2:30 this a.m. before we got on the road. Stopped at Cystal's got grits and eggs with a pat of butter. Nothing else until after the funeral at the repast; fried chicken breast, yellow rice, mac and cheese, green beans, and a roll. Only ate half the chicken! Nothing else Saturday! Didn't get all my water. Was sooo tired; rooms we were non existent! Usually stay with my cousin, but she had no lights and was staying with her other daughter. God blessed us to find a very nice room at the Microtel; still praising Him for it! Slept 12 hrs. straight!
9/17: No Scale........ Ate at Checker's about noon. Ordered their smallest burger then took the bottom bun off; also had a small fry! Ate a protein bar. At the repast only ate green beans, a little mac n cheese, and a slice of lemon pound cake. Had a piece of baked chicken, but it was overcooked-couldn't eat it! Small coffee w half n half on the way home. Not much water, but doing good otherwise! THEN...the other shoe dropped
! Stopped by my granddaughter's on the way home; she cooked pot roast w veggies, rice, greens, creamed corn, mac n cheese, coconut pie, and pecan pie! She had us two H-U-G-H plates waiting ! My husband did great 
and put his in the fridge, but not me! I ate some of all of it at 1o'clock in the morning, and it was delicious!! Since it was 1a.m., it goes on today's (9/18) log in! I only have 457 calories left 
9/18: 224.4......Didn't got to the ctr. today; too tired! Only have a few calories left for today, but the battle is not over by a long shot!

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

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.
9/16 145.9 ~ (Steps 14,643 Miles 5.75) ~ Yesterday I was able to hit my goals with workouts and a healthy diet.

9/18 - 196.0 Today we return to work. Can't say I've ever been so happy to go back to work. A sense of normalcy will return I hope. I cannot tell how much is water retention and how much is hurricane snacks. I need to be back on schedule.

Round 12: 174
Round 13: 171.4
Round 15: 166.8
Round 16: 164.6
9/10: 164.6 I was holding at 163-something for a few days in the past round, but it's jumped back up. I ran on the treadmill yesterday, and did indulge in some ribs last night for dinner. I also am holding on to some stress. Just daily life stuff, but I have a hard time sleeping when I think too much. I am so happy with the downward trend, though. Typing in those #s above: I've lost almost 10 pounds!
9/11: 166.3 I figured as much, based on my comments above. Had some rich food and a glass of prosecco last night, too. It's Monday, back to my routine.
9/12: 166.3 Was able to get back on track yesterday. Went 100 over in calories, but got in a good run last night. Rethinking some of my food choices, as every night I am too high in carbs. Need some more protein. Today so far, so good, although I am craving fish tacos from the taco truck on our campus, and not the lunch I brought!
9/13: 166.3 It's almost 11pm and I am just now remembering to track my weight from this morning. Busy busy day!
9/14: 164.4 We had a storm here yesterday, so was feeling very cozy. Made a roast chicken dinner for the family last night. Kids thought it was Christmas... Up to 30 mins of running now on my C210K app!
9/15: 164.4 No exercise yesterday and some sugar in the evening. Which was way too sweet, so my tastebuds have changed. Friend's birthday party tonight and someone signed us up for line dancing. So that will be my exercise tonight!
9/16: 164.4
9/17: 164.4 Over in calories yesterday but kept pretty busy with laundry (woo hoo) and got my run in.
9/18: 164.4 dang! Although totally fine with holding steady. Avoided a near catastrophe with pizza and wine yesterday afternoon. Was able to reel myself in.

9/13 - 193.0 This morning it flashed 192.8 before stopping stubbornly at 193. But that's ok. I'm being a very good girl. It will drop again, I'm sure of it.
9/14 - 191.8!!! (I got on 5x! It's the real number)
9/15 - 192.2 I figured that yesterday was too much of a drop.
9/16 - 190.8!!! 0.2 to go before I hit 10 lbs!!! Loving these whooshes!!!
9/17 - No Scale
9/18 - 193.0 - This is expected. I went over calories for 2 days in a row.

Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. Keep an eye on that bee sting. Their venom is very potent this time of year. I'd also like to suggest that you carry an antihistamine such as Benadryl in your bag when you go out. I have an allergy to wasps and hornets (though not bees) which developed after getting stung a couple of times in the late summer. I now carry epi-pens as it got progressively worse with each sting. The last had hives all over my body and my arm swollen from fingertip to elbow for two weeks.5 -

9/17: 201.8 -- how I hate this number. Ate a touch over maintenance and worked out yesterday. Blaming this on the salty brisket I had yesterday bc otherwise my HEAD WILL EXPLODE.
9/18: 200.2 -- just over calories (hot cocoa last night bc it's becoming fall, no regrets), worked out.

Great idea! Will be interesting to see. When I walked by the scale this morning there was too many people around so I didn't but tomorrow I will go when they are all on break just to see what the actual difference was...and I will also just take it lol. 5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 256.8 -- Same as yesterday. This is the low from last round. Let’s see if we can make it the high for this round!
9/11 258.2 --Bah humbug!! Blew through sodium and calorie deficit with late night snacking. Don’t snack off diary! Go to bed, Heidi! You’re not really hungry!!
9/12 257.2 -- I must have been self-medicating with food all my life. I started to feel the barometric pressure changes yesterday afternoon as Irma blew through and my immediate response was a big snack attack and then a nap. Very interesting. Stayed within calories by having a very low cal supper.
9/13 259.4 -- Gack!!! Let’s see … take-out Chinese, late night snacking … that’ll do it!
9/14 259.2 -- I’m having difficulty getting back to the new normal. I’m falling back into old habits. I must nip this in the bud. I need to take back control. I will start this morning. I know I can do this.
9/15 258.2 -- Stayed within limits yesterday. My sole goal right now is just to do that for the rest of the challenge. CICO
9/16 257.4 --Another day of CICO doing exactly as it ought. Maybe the first day won’t be the lowest day of this challenge after all!
9/17 257.4 -- Stayed within calorie limits. Off to deliver pet food for rural Meals-on-Wheels clients today. So a nice drive “in the country.” Need to plan a simple supper so we won’t be tempted by take-out when we get home!
9/18 256.8 -- Nice to see that again!! What a roller coaster ride this has been. A lot learned, though.

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.
9/17--225.5 Yesterday was a NSV for me. I preplanned my meals, but of course things happen and after eating a dessert at lunch that I hadn't planned for, I was going to be 400 calories over my daily calorie goal so I had to rework my dinner meal. Well, my husband made dinner, but I exchanged some items for lower calorie foods and took the dog out for a 3rd walk of the day and I was able to come in only 15 calories over my daily goal. It would have been easy for me to just go ahead with what I had originally planned for dinner, but I made the decision and took the time to rework the number of calories for my dinner. It wasn't easy, but I felt so better after making the decision. Stretched yesterday!
9/18--225.3 Back to my low weight for this round. Went to my in-laws for lunch and made healthy choices, made sure I still kept hydrated, and I was still able to have birthday cake. This past weekend was probably the first weekend in a long time where I drank enough water. Forgot to stretch.

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 afternoon.
9/17 155.5 Made Keto friendly crackers and spreads, drank moderately and got in 4qt of water!
9/18 156 I need a whoosh!4 -
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!!!
9/17 - 150.4 - Lobster, salted butter and to much wine....but totally worth it!! Will get a good trail run with the dog and kettlebell work out when we get back from hockey this morning.
9/18 151.0 - My parent's took us out for dinner last night so this is sodium and some food waste as I seem to be a bit constipated...Water, water, water today and hopefully this little blip will be gone tomorrow.

Started R6 @ 177.1
First Goal: 170 ✔️
Next Goal: 159 ... At a slow rate
End of R15 - 158.8
Goals Try and maintain while SO is here and start running outside again (it should be getting cooler)
9/10 - 162.6
9/11 - 163.3 Well SO has arrived we spent the whole weekend siting and have dinners and luncheons etc. Which I knew was coming. I didn't eat 15,750 extra calories in 2 days so I'm ok with these numbers. Today is another get together and then he's gone again on Wednesday and hopefully I can get back on full track. Only thing I'm kind of disappointed about is I didn't hit my step goals (too much time in the car) What I have learned is enjoy these days celebrate within reason and then get back to it. As long as I don't throw in the towel and give up I'll be fine.
9/12 - 163.6 Way less moving and lunch out also snacked on a few Jelly Bellies (excessively)
9/13 - 165.1 ...... I've got this, just watch me!!
9/14 - 165.8 ..... Maybe don't watch today. Busy stressful day. Packed my lunch and have preplanned dinner. Have time for my lunchtime walk today and will do some kind of activity after work.
9/15 - 163.8 .... 14,000+ steps, hit calorie goal and packed lunch for work today. It's pizza day at lunch today, I will either have a small veggie slice or skip altogether. Usually I have (1) small slice but I have been eating way above calorie goals so skipping may be the best option. It's funny how "free food" seems to pull you in. Cost you nothing dollar wise but you could pay for it in your hips!! Lets see how I do. The weekend is coming my goals are to either hit 40,000 steps in a day or challange myself to walk the hills in a very steep area of town or find something else challenging (like get on my 5K). Everyone is away for the next 2 weeks so I can't hike
9/16 - 162.6 10,094 steps. I did have a small piece of pizza after I ate my salad and fruit. I didn't crave anymore after, that was nice. Today's goals are to move and hit my calorie goals!! Have a great weekend!!
9/17 - 161.2 Steps 19,312 did the hills and spent some time cleaning and organizing. 40,000, not sure I'll get there today.
9/18 - 160.8 Weather was terrible here yesterday so my steps only got to 17,376 and I didn't sleep very well... Ugggghhh the worst for a Monday. Turning Fall very quickly, hope that doesn't detour my walking. I may have to change up my routines.

Round 16:
RD14 start 252.6 End 252.8
RD15 start 252.8 End 254.2
Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 257.0 I have a real issue with water retention and if I eat salty food I blow up like a balloon, and ya that's where I'm at today. So it's time to do some apple cider vinegar and juicing today and get rid of some fluids. My goal this 10 days is to get off the water wt. and get to my true wt which is probably 3-5 lbs less than this. Good luck everyone.
9/11 256.3 Did about 9000 steps yesterday, eating was ok, plan to go very light today.
9/12 256.0 Heading in the right direction. 9000 steps yesterday and ate healthy.
9/13 255.5 Revised from original post, think scale gave a bad reading.
9/14 255.1 Kinda bummed had hoped to move the needle more, i did 8500 steps and had only about 1600 cals.
9/15 253.7 I have really watched my eating this week, getting about 8500 steps per day. This is what works for me if I will stick to it. Carbs are my downfall, if I cut way back on them the wt comes off and vise versa. Feeling good.
9/16 255.3 blah
9/17 255.3 boo hiss
9/18 256.3 I am looking to the next round to right the ship and I know thats not good, but I am out of wack here.

Starting weight 2012: 201
Starting weight 2017: 184
9/10: 175 lbs. I made worse food choices today than I have in over a month. I did log everything, at least, and stuck to no sugar.
9/11: 175 lbs. My day off, I lazed around. The day isn't over but so far I'm staying well within my calories and no sugar. Not enough protein, though.
9/12: 175.5 lbs, ugh, still paying for Sunday's cheese binge maybe. Well, I'm under my daily calories again today, no added sugar, no impulse eating. Been doing well on getting enough water. Haven't been eating after 8:00 pm.
9/13: 175 lbs. Staying in my calories, no added sugar, no impulse eating, plenty of water, decent amt of protein, it's early yet but no reason to eat after 8pm. Boring work day but decent diet day.
9/14: 173 lbs. I know it's a fluctuation, but I'll take it! I was stuck in a 175.5/175/175.5 loop for 10 days so I needed a win. I'm now officially 10+ lbs down from when I rejoined MFP this time.
9/15: 174 lbs. I knew yesterday wasn't for real, oh well. Stayed in calories, no added sugar, no impulse eating.
I'm a little concerned about tomorrow, I have a physical event at work and there will be lots of snacks. Bringing nuts and dried apricots for an energy boost so i can avoid the sugary granola bars. I might be very hungry if I stay in my calories for the day but it won't really be loggable exercise. (A lot of standing in the sun & carrying things around.)
9/16: 175 lbs. Nooooooo not again. I'm eating fewer than 1500 calories, not sure what's going on.Work event went fine, tired but I didn't need to snack.
Side note, It's been more than 6 weeks since I quit *almost* every form of added sugar or sugar substitute, and I've been patting myself on the back about not having sugar cravings. Then last night I had a detailed dream about eating a giant tray of cookies while drinking a sweet liqueur. So maybe I haven't quite beat my little sugar addiction yet.
9/17: 175 forever
Ate a little sugar for the first time in weeks, the BF took me to an Italian Food Festival and we shared pasta, a lemonade and a cannoli. Not at all a binge, hard to feel sorry but it remains to be seen if this affects my ability to keep sugar out of my daily life.
9/18: One Seventy Five
The app says I've averaged right around 1400 calories the last two weeks, but no loss. I am meticulous in weighing and logging. Maintenance for me should be around 1700 or more. Stay the course... Maybe I'll go down to 1300 calories.

@HeidiCooksSupper yes, I feel these message boards need an occasional "that sucks" option. We can't love everything all of the time!
@Gaia85 Not to be Debbie Downer but I have found it sometimes takes 2-3 days for my poor food/beverage choice to be reflected on the scale.
@nikki062181 .2 is actually a little over 3 oz so you are closer than you think!
@AshEvelynn Personally, I would just be happy with having completed this round and next round start with weighing nude at home right after potty first thing when you get up.

Joined MFP at 207 lbs
SW when I joined this challenge: 193.8
End R15 (my first round): 189.6
Goal R16: 186
UWG: 120-130
9/10 - 189.4 -- happy to see another loss! Woke up With sore muscles though; might need to pass up the dancing session today if I don't get better 'til later. Supposed break is for tomorrow, might take it today instead.
9/11 - 190 -- yesterday was quite a disaster. My housemate, who was quite a good cook, made spaghetti. The sinful aroma, that creamy sauce...ok, I gave in and had some, went over my calories...
9/12 - 188.7 -- nice. Just need to continue with my current diet.
9/13 - 188.7 -- ok. Still looking good, at least it stayed the same and didn't go up.
9/14 - 187.2 -- yey! My all time low for the past months!
9/15 - 187.2 -- steady, steady! Slowly but will surely make it to my goal.
9/16 - 190.7 -- I blew it! This is even more than my end weight last round! Weekends are really horrible! Why is it so difficult to control myself during my day off? Oh well, at least I knew where this weight came from. Pizza, pasta, and lots lots of salt. Got 3 more days before this round ends. Got a lot to fix!
9/17 - 189.2 -- Got rid half of the water weight already. I really need to exercise more control. I always find myself in this position a day or two after my day off. Feels so good to be living healthy again (though I admit that mindless eating felt good as well, arghh, but I don't wanna feel this way everytime my day off ends...)
9/18 - 187.4 -- Yey! Finally back on track! However, I think I'm being too hard on myself, to the point that I'm becoming paranoid, so I'm giving myself today as a break. I love food ever since I'm a kid and I don't wanna see myself giving up on losing weight just because I can't eat some foods because I'm prohibiting myself. So yeah, I'm really gonna eat that croissant (just a piece, 'cause for some reason, I just can't stop eyeing it) and go back to my usual tomorrow.

@shoui16 This is exactly the reason I don't cut anything out of my diet, I am allowed what I want (as long as it fits my day) .. I also "bank" calories if I have a night out planned so that I can enjoy my night without much thought ..
enjoy your croissant

Ultimate goal - 135
R16 Goals: eat well, ~1830 cals, walk 60+ and stretch daily, weight training 30 min/3 days
5'3", 64 yrs
R15 (R1 for me) ave 151.8
Round 16
9/10 - 151.6
Last week I didn't get my usual exercise due to smoke/hazardous air quality from forest fires. My calories averaged 1830 and weight stayed steady, so this round I'm going to keep my calories at that level but get back to my usual walking 60-120 min/day and see what happens. I find these daily check ins inspiring and motivational, so thanks!
9/11 - 151.6
I went about 200 over my calorie goal, so ok. :-)
9/12 - 151.2
Back to walking (90 minutes yesterday) - yay!
9/13 - 151
Getting my daily walks and sticking to my calories goal (~1850). I've also changed my macro goals a bit this time around to 25-30% protein, 30-35% fat (heavy on healthy fats), and 35-40% carbs (mostly non-starchy veggies, fruits, and a teeny bit of whole grain and/or legumes and/or nuts and seeds). Increasing the fat and reducing the carbs slightly makes me less hungry - yay! I do indulge in either a little good chocolate or some licorice - no more that 100 calories, to be eaten slowly and savored! Because all things in moderation, including moderation. :-)
9/14 - 150.8
I had an extra 200 calories yesterday, but all good, healthy ones, and they don't seem to have hurt me so far. It's a gorgeous day here, so I plan to backpack my laptop to Starbucks (30 minutes), work a couple of hours, and backpack home. I've been trying to walk anywhere I need to go within 2 miles (unless I'll have stuff to carry!). I'm a writer and often write in coffee shops, and luckily there are several within 1-2 miles. I just wish my laptop were a bit lighter! But I remind myself that the extra weight = more calories burned. :-)
9/15 - 151.2
Ah, the time lag. Yesterday I ate 1850 and walked 90 minutes, so this small uptick is from Thurs. I think water is also a factor, since I did have more sodium than usual. I won't be walking today (the smoke is back), but I have today's food all planned. I sometimes consider cutting back on calories, but I don't want to mess up my metabolism again, so I'm learning patience. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
9/16 - 151.2
Mexican yesterday, so I didn't expect to lose any. Smoke/air quality is "unhealthy" today, so no long walks again. We're supposed to get rain tonight or tomorrow, so hopefully it will help with the fires and the air quality. Happily, I just put a week's worth of my overnight breakfasts in the fridge - yum yum!
9/17 - 151.2
The air has cleared a bit, so I'm off in a little while to walk to a friend's and then amble around a street fair (and, ok, check out the food trucks). Rain forecast later - hoping for clean air after that!
9/18 - 152
@ see what tomorrow brings.

That's weird. I actually wrote that the only reason I can think of for the gain is sodium in my food truck falafel at the street fair yesterday.5

R14 SW-160.38
R15 SW- 158.4
Current weight-155.98
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.
9/16 Didn't weigh today and not looking forward to tomorrows weigh in. We went out with friends for drinks and then stopped off for fast food on the way home. I planned ahead and had lots of extra calories available before going out, but not certain if it was adequate for both. Tomorrow is a new day.
9/17 154.66 Absolutely shocked by this number and praying I don't bounce back up too much. Lots of re-hydrating and healthy eating today. Working on my weeks meal plan now.
9/18 154.66 Two days in a row in the 154's! I am so pleased with my 10 day results. Keeping accountable and sharing my slip ups has been extremely helpful.
