ROUND 17
Joined MFP at 207 lbs
SW when I joined this challenge: 193.8
R15 start 192.7 End 189.6
R16 start 189.4 End 187.8
End Goal for this round: 185
UWG: 120-130
Goals for a perfect day (adapted from jlemoore's idea):
1. Exercise (at least 30mins)
2. Log ALL my intake (would be good if it stays less than MFP's calories goal, but if not, then not more than 200cal excess)
3. Hit carb and protein goals
9/20 - 187.4 -- so another round begins. I made peace with myself last round regarding those pasta that I mindlessly ate and now I'm back to my usual eating. Setting alarm for water as well since I've noticed that I only consume around 1L when work is hectic.
9/21 - 186.9 -- wonderful loss; slowly but steady. Feeling good also since I was able to drink more water. Also added plain green tea in my drinks list, it tastes weird when unsweetened but I think this is better. I wanna tame my tongue and stop craving for sweets. Stayed within calorie goal but over carb.
9/22 - 186.7 -- good record considering what I did yesterday. Well, I was able to exercise, however I ate too many carbs and too little protein. I ate way more than my caloric goal... like I overate bigtime. The culprit -- BREAD! Before I became mindful of what I ate, I have this habit of trying any 'new' food that I see. And here in my place, there's a lot of varieties of bread and pastries that I never encountered before. To cut the story short, my colleague brought with her a freshly baked stuffed bread with stuffing I've never seen before, soem sort of green powder mixed with feta cheese, I think. And it smelled so good and tasted good, the supposed one bite became 4 pieces of it, one piece the size of half my fist. Then I snapped out of it, asked the ingredients she used, and felt like crying. Need to behave big time!
9/23 - 185.6 -- Looked like behaving well yesterday did the trick, apparently. Was able to accomplish my exercise goal again and finally hit my protein goal. A friend of mine just came back from vacation and his greeting when he finally saw me was, "What happened to you? Aren't you eating? You lost weight!!!" and I was like thinking, "really? I don't even see the difference in the mirror..." but well, I was really happy.
9/24 - 185.4 -- yesterday was a repeat of 09/20: too many carbs and too little protein. Though I'm glad that it didn't affect my weight, I know that I should correct this or this will become a big problem. Any suggestion on how to avoid overeating carbs?
9/25 - 184.9 -- woohoo!!! still doing good! Exercise done! Complete log done! I finally lowered by carbs intake (though still over) and hit my protein goal! Hopefully, I can keep this rate and finally be able to consistently hit my macros goals.

9/21 156 UGH! Pizza for dinner at community bingo last night. I only ate the toppings off one slice of veggie and had taken a healthy salad from home. One SF adult beverage but overall maybe not enough fat or perhaps this is the salt.
9/22 156. I ate dinner too late! Almost 9 PM!! This afternoon I go to my retreat and will be without a scale until I get home late Sunday. I will have a lot of catching up to do! Next weigh in on Monday! AARRGGGHHH
9/23 RETREAT
9/24 RETREAT Going home this afternoon. This has been a fun, productive weekend. We'll see what the scale reveals tomorrow, I have had some junk but nothing like last year.
9/25 157.5 Up but not surprised. Had a great time at our mini-retreat. Over the weekend, the only things o should not have eaten were a half piece of Trash Treat and 3 hands full of popcorn. And unmeasured alcohol. Learned to make homemade noodles, almond flour spaetzel and Buckeyes. Had 3 dozen Buckeyes to bring home which my husband will take care of. I was not even tempted. My biggest problem was not drinking enough water. I think I will not have a problem recouping. I'm so glad to have spent time with these wonderful women but am equally glad to be back to this group.10 -

Round 17
Starting weight 175.6
I'm heading the wrong direction and very frustrated. Had a long discussion with myself on what I've been doing incorrectly. I need to move some every day. Drink less alcohol all the way around. I tend to lose focus when my sons health (Crohn's disease) is not going well. Seek comfort in the wrong things.

Round 16 SW: 175 - EW: 174.5
9/20: 173.5
Hm, didn't have enough water yesterday, I might be a bit dehydrated. Actually ate under calories Tue but I went out for a cocktail and dim sum.
9/21: 174
Plenty of water today, no added sugar, declined free cookies, got some exercise, stayed under calories. Potluck tomorrow, we shall see.
9/22: 174
Had a bit more to eat than I should have at my work potluck, but nothing with added sugar and it fit in my calories if I skip my planned dinner, not ideal. Light on water, I'll try to have more before bed.
9/23: 173.5
I hope the scale's not just toying with me again and this loss stays around. Got some exercise today, no added sugars, plenty of water, actually ate a little low, even with a piece of leftover pizza. Maybe a bit too much salt.
9/24: 173.5
No added sugars, good on water, good on calories but I left too many calories til the end of the day so I am overfull after a big dinner. Only incidental exercise. Today's my "Friday" and for the last five days I've resisted all kinds of desserts in the work lunch room, they seemed to multiply this week.
9/25: 175.5. What? Sigh. FML
Well, today I took a hike, ate under my calories. I had some fruit in a restaurant that I could tell were canned in syrup so I did have added sugar. Need to drink more water before the end of the day.

9/20 - 188.8 hello again..
9/21 - 189.4 I'm terribly frustrated.. I know this has to do with not taking a water pill anymore but 18 days at or around the same weight and never being over on calories is pretty frustrating. I'm looking at my second consecutive Friday with a gain tomorrow and I just want to crawl into a hole somewhere. Rant over.
9/22 - 189 - Attitude adjustment day. If I fail at something I truly attempted, it's still a success. I'm just going to have to do it a few more times.

Starting weight (Nov 2016): 202.2 GW1: 142 UGW: 135
R16 SW: 159.6 R16 EW: 157.6
9/20: 157/Getting closer to my lowest weight from the last round (156.2). I fit the catered Chipotle I had at work yesterday into my calories. I now make it a habit to ask what we will be eating on late nights so I can plan it into my calories so I don't have to bring my own food while everyone else is eating catered food. This is now two days in a row that I didn't go to the gym. I was so exhausted. I have to go tomorrow!
9/21: 156.8/Continuing the downward trend, though it's going very slowly. I have today and tomorrow off so hopefully I can stay on track...it's harder on non-work days!
9/22: 156.4/This is still higher than my lowest weight in R16 (156.2). I feel so impatient but I'm going to keep chugging along. I can't wait to see 155.xx. Ate out for lunch and dinner but relatively healthy and within calories. Did weights and curcuit training exercises. Off to go swimming now.
9/23: 155.8/Cautiously optimistic! Fearing the uptick! Nevertheless, it was thrilling to see 155.x! I'm now less than a pound away (154.9) from entering the healthy BMI range! Biked to the pool yesterday and swam laps. Ate under calories so I can save them for later.
9/24: 155.6/Ate back all my exercise calories yesterday, which I usually don't do...including 3 glasses of wine. Had a thing in midtown last night and walked halfway and biked the other halfway home instead of taking the subway! I love these bike share programs!
9/25: 155.4/Good day today. Went to the gym. Mostly did weights. A couple of unpredictable days coming up. Really struggling with water intake.

10 Day Goal:153.3 This is 10 lbs. down from when I first began
Day/Weight/Comment
9/19- 154.44 Does walking Costco count as exercise? lol Kept to our grocery list and avoided buying a pizza for dinner, even though it was calling me the entire time. Came home and found a salmon patty instead with salad and a few sweet potato fries. Didn't follow my plan, but made positive choices.
9/20- 154.22 Managed to get in a mile walk before it started to rain. Feeling determined to reach my goal this round.
9/21- 155.32 Absolutely no reason for this gain. Eating below calories, getting exercise in, and drinking plenty of water. Hopefully this is only temporary. (my hair was damp when I weighed today, so that might be a small part of this)
9/22- 154.44 Glad the weight is back down. That Costco pizza was still on my mind today, but no one answered when we called to order ahead, so we ended up eating leftovers. Thank you Costco. You saved me a bunch of calories. lol Tomorrow we are doing a university tour with my son so there will be lots of walking.
9/23- 154.44 Seems like my body is happy at this weight, but I am not. I did tons of walking today to the point my feet and legs ache. Lots of hills and staircases. My plan is to take it easy tomorrow and perhaps work in my garden if the weather cooperates.
9/24- 153.78 Hopefully optimistic this weight will stick (or drop). I'm less sore than I expected, but still took a day off. Need to do meal planning for next week.
9/25- 153.12 If this number is true, I have now lost 10 lbs since starting. I've really worked hard and stuck to my calories each day (with the exception of one day I'm not 100% sure of). I have more to go, but this success has me on a high.

Many events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it is coming off, bit by stubborn bit! Stick with it! The game continues!
I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
Observations, and Previous RoundsA 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 16: (Target: 160) Highest, 162.4; lowest, 160.2; Mean, 161.3 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.
But remember to live a little along the way!

20/9 - 224.2 so happy to see this # again. Now I know it wasn't a fluke yesterday. :
21/9 - 223.8 strange. I got on the scale and it said 224.2. My SO got on after me (who by the way eats everything and his weight has not moved on 5 years - 165) so I know the scale isn't broken. I got back on and it moved lower to the same spot after 3 more attempts. Should I let him weigh before me everyday I wonder
Be blessed and positive today everyone.
22/9 - 222.4 didn't eat properly yesterday and very hungry now.
23/9 - 223.4 more irregular eating. Trinidad doubles and pie.... still not right or on time. Water not on point either. Yesterday my attitude was -
I am too tired/stressed to care. That's what got me at 250. I should never be too anything to care about me and my future. Today is the first day of vacation so I know I got this.
24/9 - 222.8
25/9 - 222.8
26/9 - 225.4. TOM in 4 days and so the climb begins. There goes my goal. Sigh.

Start this round 156.8
Goal this round 155
Let's go!
9/20 157.4 uhg! What is this?? Why do I gain so much during my cycle???
9/21 155.6 yeh!
9/22 155.4 holding!
9/23- 156.6
9/24- 157 - too much wine and not enough tracking over the weekend.
9/25 155.6 back to my before weekend weight....
9/26 155.8 - ok this is where daily weighing is so valuable. Without it, I'd creep up at this point. Because of it I am aware of what's happening as I become too relaxed with my eating. Goal is 155 end of this round.

Round 17: my goal for this round is to be in the 150s.
9/20: 162.8 I feel discouraged seeing this number but I will keep on pushing.
9/21: 162.6. No much different
9/22: 161.1. Slow but good.
9/23: 160.5. Well I will be a happy girl if I continue losing o.something lbs everyday. My long term goal is to up my water intake.
9/24: 161. Hmmm hanging in there
9/25: 163.4. Well this is one of those time I see the scale go up and I can't even complain cos I know what caused it. Way too much carbs( rice) over the weekend and less water. Let's see if I can drop this 3 pounds in the next 4 days.
9/26: 159.8 what just happen?!!!!!. Nope not gonna get too excited just water weight I'm sure.

9/20 - 191.6
9/21 - 191.2
9/22 - 191.4
9/23 - No Scale
9/24 - No Scale
9/25 - 191.4
9/26 - 193.4 So there's a few things going on here. Firstly I'm on a new scale. Secondly I'm sick with a bad cold. Thirdly I was forced to eat gluten for the past 2 days while travelling (it's makes me blow up like a balloon). And finally, it's nearly 30 degrees in my apartment. So I'm pretty sure this is just crazy bloating and not a real number.

9/20 198.7
9/21 194.7 I know four lbs is a lot but I just recently (Monday) cut carbs down. I only eat good carbs and I cut out sugar. So my body is getting rid of water weight. My mind feels really clear!
9/22 196.4 Wine = bad choices
9/23 196.4 I have to stay on track today! The weekend is when I usually sabotage myself with eating like crap.
9/24 195.6 Today will be good! Going to the gym, shopping and meal prep
9/25 196.6 I stayed under my calories yesterday. I did go to the gym so maybe my muscles are retaining a little water. I feel really good today though. Finished lots of meal prep yesterday! I cooked ground turkey, turkery breast, crab stuffed mushrooms, and beef stuffed halved peppers. My week is off to a great start! Happy Monday everyone!
9/26 196.4 Meals are all planned for today and I'm meeting my sister at the gym tonight.12 -
Hello all!!
Love this challenge and this group for accountability. Weighing every day has been an important factor in my success so far!
SW - March 2017 - 182.4lbs
GW - 145 - it was 150 initially but I smashed that last week and I don't feel like I'm done. I'm happy with where I am but I've got some pooch left and I think having a maintenance range of 145-149 would be ideal...so I'm going to slowly chip away at the last few pounds and work on my fitness.
9/19 - 149.8 - coming in from round 16
Day/Weight/Comment
9/20 - 149.0 - still can't get over seeing something under 150...it's been sooo long.....
9/21 - 148.8 - had ham for dinner last night so was expecting an upward sodium blip...might show up tomorrow, but I'll try to ward it off with lots of H-2-O
9/22 - 148.0 - lots of steps at work yesterday. Going to try to "maintain" this weekend and see how that goes, I need to start getting that figured out soon as I get even closer to where I want to stay for a while.
9/23 - 148.0 - holding steady
9/24 - 148.6 - We're having a crazy early autumn heat wave so Corona's on the porch were in order yesterday...and then wine with dinner, and after...so this is an alcohol induced gain. Lots of water as we enjoy another hot humid September day today.
9/25 - 148.6 - So hot here!! I'm feeling puffy from the heat, and didn't get out for my regular run with the dog yesterday because it was afternoon by the time we got back from the boys hockey and both the dog and I would have melted into a puddle in the woods had we attempted it. I don't think we're supposed to get a break from this until Wednesday
9/26 - 149.0 - Expecting TOM sometime this week so this is heat and hormones

Day/Weight/Comment
9/20 - 188.8 hello again..
9/21 - 189.4 I'm terribly frustrated.. I know this has to do with not taking a water pill anymore but 18 days at or around the same weight and never being over on calories is pretty frustrating. I'm looking at my second consecutive Friday with a gain tomorrow and I just want to crawl into a hole somewhere. Rant over.
9/22 - 189 - Attitude adjustment day. If I fail at something I truly attempted, it's still a success. I'm just going to have to do it a few more times.
9/23 - 189 Eat like you give a damn about yourself!
9/24 - 189.6 Alcohol
9/25 - 190 On point, ate well.

SW: 269.4 (9/12/17)
Highest: 278.8
CW: 264.8
R17GW: 260.0
Goal: Log all my food each day. I tend to get lazy in the evenings and on the weekends.
9/20 - 264.2 - down .6 from yesterday despite the fact that I ate terribly last night and didn't exercise. I was stressed about my child's school work/preparing for picture day (today) and an interview that I have today at work (still pretty stressed about that!). Staying positive though, going to make better choices today
9/21 - 262.2 - I was emotionally and mentally exhausted after my interview yesterday, so I didn't eat well at night. But, I did make myself take a 15 minute walk last night. Unfortunately, I've got some foot pain that I'm pretty sure is caused by a bone spur on the top of my foot (so I'll be calling a podiatrist this week), so 15 minutes was all that I could handle. But I'm happy with the results
9/22 - 263.4 - Yesterday afternoon/evening was stressful. We had an event at my child's school that included dinner. Then when I got home, I just ate a bunch of junk food. I am working on controlling my emotional eating, but it's a process. I did just request an appointment with a podiatrist to try to resolve my foot pain. I can't walk for more than 15-20 minutes without pain and I need to get back to exercising. I knew my weight would be up today, but I'm not too discouraged. Today's a new day!
9/23 - 261.4 - Great way to start the weekend! Tried to walk a little more yesterday. The shoes I wore helped my foot, I think. And I have an appointment scheduled for 2 weeks out wirh the podiatrist. Can't wait to fix my foot!!
9/24 - 259.2 - Pretty happy with those results. Tomorrow will be a gain, Sundays are our family pizza nights. Definitely feel like I'm making progress!
9/25 - 263.6 - I knew it would be a gain, but that's more than I expected. But, when I went back and looked at the quantity of food (and calories) and the inactivity for the day, it makes perfect sense. Going out to dinner tonight and I've pre-logged my food. As long as I stay on task the rest of the day and get a walk or two in, I think I will be good
9/26 - 263.0 - It's a loss, I should be happy. But I feel a little discouraged. I did pretty well during the day yesterday (knowing that I was going out to dinner) and I walked more yesterday than I usually do when I work from home. I even ate less calories than I have in a long time (dinner included)! So it's kind of disappointing to see a small loss when I've eaten more calories and lost more. But I think there were several factors in play: I ate most of my calories at dinner after which I did not exercise, most of the calories were carbs, and I didn't get very much sleep last night. As disappointed as I feel, I do feel like yesterday has helped to put my mind back to the right mindset. I worked from home and DIDN'T overeat all day - I DO have some willpower! I should be happy that I lost anything, considering all the carbs I had at dinner. Either way, today's going to be a good day. I've got some willpower and determination to succeed, so I'm expecting tomorrow's weigh in will bring great results
