9/27 - 73kg (160.9) - damage from holidays not as bad as I feared. Back to 5:2 (or starvation day as I call it) today.
9/28 - 71.8kg (158.3) - meant to be my 2nd starvation day for the week but ended up at a work lunch. Still under daily calories, just need to even out the weekly total.

9/22 165.5 fluctuation up from R16 end weight. I did have a pretty carb heavy meal yesterday amd didn't drink a lot of water. Today focusing on getting all my water in.
9/23 166.6 Up again, but weighing every day is really helping me see what gets me up or down and when I start falling off. This week has been stressful so haven't been tracking meals well and Ive had more alcohol than normal and letting fast foods sneak back in. Plus side.is catching it quickly so I can get back on track.
9/24 163.2 Glad to see some downward movement again. That said this is probably a little bit of a fluke. Worked out with the trainer yesterday, walked around a lot and barely ate in the evening because I think I'm getting a cold. Still, I'll take it. As a side note, my scale is dying and I have an irrational fear that getting a new one will mess up my tracking!
9/25 165.4 Up again. TOM so to be expected. Plus I felt like yesterday's loss was a bit of a fluke.
9/26 Can't find yesterday's post! I think I was at 163.2
9/27 162.4 Yay downward motion!
9/28 163.2 little bump up. Good workout yesterday but ate late. Still happy that my "ups" are lower than they were.

I'm back! I've been a part of this group for so long now that posting is just an automatic response because it's truly a part of my daily routine. I'm so appreciative of all the support and encouragement along my journey. I am starting this Round down 4 oz from my last round. If I could just get to 174 this Round, I'd be happy.

09/20: 174.6 So, Mom is getting released from rehab on Saturday. I fell off a table at work yesterday because I was hanging up some anchor charts and landed on a concrete floor. I know, I should have used a stool. I was pretty sore yesterday, but I am better today except for my finger. I jammed it when trying to catch myself.
09/21: 174.4 This is the 4th time I've seen this number. I have yet to get any lower than this or to have my BIG WHOOSH! It's been 2 weeks. It's only a matter of time, right?! The tortoise beat the hare.
09/22: 174! I hit my 4 oz!!!! I've officially lost 28lbs. I'm so behind thrilled. Now, I just want to lose 2 more pounds, and that will put me at a 30 lb loss and the same weight as my teenage son, who happens to be 7 inches taller than me.
09/23: 173.6 YIPPEE! I've dropped into a new number in the 70s. This is my newest low! I haven't seen this number since my first pregnancy, and that was about 14 years ago. Say what now?!
09/24: 174.4 What in the world?! I biked 6.5 miles yesterday before my day got crazy and walked about 8000 steps because we picked up Mom from rehab, and now she's back home. I stuck to my water, and I was under my calories. BTW: this is the 5th time I've seen this number now. I think it really likes me, but I'm starting to think I don't like it very much. Lol
09/25: 174.2 I completed a 5k walk yesterday in honor of Mom (MIL) for lung cancer awareness with my husband and 3 children. She has been battling it over a year now as some of you know and has done amazingly. I also grabbed some things from the store, came home and cleaned house, and I did my lesson planning for the kiddos this week. With everything combined that I did, I put in over 14g steps. Whew!
09/26: 173.6 Really struggling to meet my calorie goal. I didn't get it. Now, I do. If you don't consume enough, your body thinks it's starving and your metabolism slows down. Your weight loss will stall. So, eat those calories that MFP sets for you. It may sound weird, but it has something to burn, so you'll lose weight. I am determined to get 1500 calories in.
09/27: 173.6 I hit my 1500 calorie goal! No, I didn't eat more even though I exercised. That was an accomplishment in itself.
I also decided to up my steps by 500 because I finally got into the swing of walking more. Let's hope this eating more calories things work! Oh...oh...oh...I also did research and found that what most doctors consider good macros is 40% carbs, 30% fat, and 30% protein. So, I've adjusted that too.
09/28: 172.8 I'm doing a happy dance, a happy dance!!!! I didn't meet my goal last round, but I met this round and last rounds goal together today. Woot Woot! I hit my 1500 calorie mark. I was very close to my macros, and I went on a 4- mile bike ride after work with my husband as a way to unwind and chat about our day. I am only 8 oz. away from losing a total of 30lbs! That's my next goal ladies and gents. I've got my eye on the target.

My trainer gave me food plan that is the same amount of calories as suggested by mfp (I've been cutting that by 200-400 calories a day....duh...I know better) and water intake (a gallon a day). I listened and followed instructions yesterday and ta da! He committed that I'd get my dang boobs in that dang wedding dress if I followed the plan and I'm committed. It's on!

9/20 - 167.2 Huh. Guess I had some water weight to lose since I haven't been at much of a calorie deficit. Think I'll switch my goal weight to 166.5
9/21 - 166.8 Okay, I moved into a new construction neighborhood. But do they really have to start the heavy work at 7 AM on my day off?! (Yes, official work hours are 7-7, I knew that but argh)

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.
9/26 - 188.2
9/27 - 188.8
9/28 - 189.6 Just blaming this entire month on the stopping the water pill. I read that taking a diuretic eliminates an average of 3 pounds of water weight. 30 days later I'm one pound below what I was when the doctor took me off the pill. Since I've been on point most of this month and when I was over I didn't go over maintenance I think I lost fat and gained back that water... that's my story, I'm sticking to it!

Highest: 278.8
CW: 264.8

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
9/27 - 260.6 - I knew yesterday would be a good day Last night I was really itching to eat junk food. I allowed myself a little indulgence, but not like I would normally do. Definitely paying off!
9/28 - 259.8 - Yay! I even ate a big chunk of my calories for dinner and they were mostly carbs. I was worried that I wouldn't have a loss, but I did! Also, I definitely noticed how bloated and uncomfortable my stomach was after I ate that. It made me realize that I haven't been feeling that way much lately anymore. And it's because I've been more conscious of what I'm eating because of this 10 day challenge. I didn't realize how miserable I felt all the time until I wasn't feeling that way anymore and then it happened again. So, definitely a big take away - I'm happier when I feel better and I feel better when I am mindful of what I eat!

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.

9/20 140.6 Very pleased with this dip. Went to gym yesterday and also aqua arthritis. Happy start to a new 10 day round to all.
9/21 141.4 Over on salt and carbs... It'll go away ...No formal exercise yesterday, just cleaning, cooking (on feet a lot) and chasing 2 yr old around. Today, ellip or sumthin. Happy Thursday.
9/22 141.6 Did therapy at gym and pool exercise class. Ate clean and below on cals and carbs. Gotta be water weight. Come on, 140's, I'm waitin' for you. Another pool class today.
9/23 141.4 Another pool class. Slept late. Need to take a day of rest. Happy weekend, all!
9/24 142.4 rested and ate all kinds of things. Was worth it. Had a delightful day off from everything.
9/25 142... Come on, already. Give me a number in the 140's. Halfway through, better get super serious. I've gotten lax.
9/26 141.4 Going down again, finally. Did an hour on ellip yesterday. My goals for today: 1 hr ellip, gym-therapy/strength training if possible, eat clean. No processed food.
9/27 141 .. Yes, keep going in that direction. No exercise yesterday but deep cleaning family room, moving furniture, etc. Stayed below on macros, calories and carbs. Today ellip, I hope. Full time watching a 2 year old really puts a crimp on my gym time.
9/28 140.6 Doin' ma happy dance. 75 min on ellip and stayed below on macros. Ate clean and well. Aiming for another 75 today.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/20 - 223.8 - still moving in the right direction; finally got to the gym last night; hoping to be as consistent as possible with that over these 10 days as I've been taking a lot of breaks for various reasons beyond my control (and it was HARD last night)
9/21- 224.6 - not surprised. Yesterday was my birthday and we had a big sushi dinner and I had an extra piece of cake. Plus I only ran two miles instead of three as my birthday present to myself. SO got me a ukulele which I am THRILLED about! Lots of water today to counteract the sodium from the sushi/soy sauce.
9/22 - 224.6 - holding steady. Can't seem to bring myself back up to 3 miles. Feeling a little down. Water wasn't great yesterday but going to try to do better today.
9/23 - 223.4 - I like it but I don't know that I trust it. We'll see.
9/24 - 224.4 - I've been taking a break this weekend. Just mentally overwhelmed and practicing some self care. So this isn't surprising. Hopefully back at it tomorrow.
9/25 - 224.0 - Weekend break didn't do too much damage. Back in the game today. I feel refreshed.
9/26 - 224.2 - I really need to get back on the ball with exercise. Food was in line yesterday though.
9/27 - 224.4 - Ugh. I need to get this under control. I'm a bit frustrated with the last several days.
9/28 - 223.2 - That's more like it.

Round 14
SW: 147.6
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! R 15 EW: 147.9R16
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.R 16 SW 147.4

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,

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.

9/27 - 219.5 - Feeling really run down and discouraged this past round - enough even for me not to weigh in or log a single thing. I don't feel much better today but this too shall pass.
9/28 - 217 - Not sure what is happening but I did get off the scale and back on again just to make sure I was not having a crazy moment. Thanks for all the support, I know we all have our days so I know I'm not alone. Would love to end this round steady at this number but I feel like I am having deja vu from last round. 24 hours, just give me 24 hours! Make good choices woman!

9/20 - 222.0 - Back down to my lowest! Let's see if I can hold it. I went to the gym for 30min cardio today and did minimal effort. I wasn't feeling 100% so am glad I at least went. Tomorrow will be better and I will push harder!
9/21 - 221.4!! Woohoo! I didnt make it to the gym today as I was doing errands with my husband on his day off then had to watch the baby while he did house stuff. I don't feel guilty about it so it's ok. I am waiting to hear if i have arrangements for a babysitter tomorrow so i can go to the gym. Otherwise I will be playing baseball tomorrow night so I will burn some calories then! I ate under calories as I skipped breakfast due to catching up on sleep and sleeping until noon. Overall a good day!
9/22 220.0!!! Still going down! I have not found anyone to watch my son while I go to the gym so we are going to go for a nice long walk today. I didn't sleep so well last night so hoping to have a little nap first (when baby naps) and then head out. Looking forward to baseball tonight! And hoping the scale is in the 1s!!!!
9/23 220.2 - leveling out but im.happy to be maintaining. Played 2 baseball games and maybe a 3rd tonight in 30 degree weather! Tying to stay hydrated. Looking forward to what the scale has to say about this tomorrow! Food good today.
9/24 - 220.0 - holding strong. Waiting in anticipation for the 1s! Next week I'm going to push myself with exercise as I have been slacking the last few weeks and see what I can get down to on the scale!
9/25 - 219.8 - woohoo. New low!
9/26 - 221.0 - yesterday I binged on 90 calorie sugar treats. I had 5! The whole box. I can't buy those again! And today I had I peanut butter cookie, sour cream donut and a bagel with cheese and butter! I did balance it with a Cobb salad for lunch but went over my calories and sugar! I'm going to get back on track. I've arranged to go for a walk tomorrow with another mom and have volleyball tomorrow! I'm committing to the following 3 goals each day: 1 ) 30min exercise (increased heart rate) daily, 2) no unplanned treats, 3) 5 24oz bottles of water daily! No more self sabotaging !
9/27 - 220.8 - going back down! I'm really hoping to finish the 10 days in the 10s! Today I'm going for a walk around our mall as it is raining. And playing volleyball tonight.
9/28 - 218.6!!! Woohoo. Feeling amazing. I surprised myself and went to the gym yesterday out of the blue! Clearly it is what I needed. I felt like I had so much energy! My lowest yet. No exercise planned for the day yet but if I get time for a walk I'll take it. Definitely gym tomorrow. I'm hoping to finish off strong.

9/20 255.4 -- Starting the challenge with a nice, new low weight. Hello, 255!
9/21 257.6 -- Chinese take out and a pecan praline-induced snack attack. Let’s make this the high for this round, eh?
9/22 257.0 -- Starting the slow descent; shedding the water and avoiding overeating. Another day or two (or three) and I should be back down to where I started this round.
9/23 256.8 -- Down a titch but I ate right through any deficit last night. Late night snacking is my nemesis!!
9/24 255.6 -- Yay! Self discipline! I even managed to watch Anthony Bourdain eat his way across Paraguay late last night without heading to the kitchen. The urge was there but I fought it!
9/25 254.8 -- CICO rocks! With a new pound reached, time to recalculate TDEE-500 and shave another 5 calories off my daily limit.
9/26 253.6 -- Well, that’s a pleasant surprise!!! Let’s see if we can hold onto it!
9/27 253.4 -- Okay, it’s only 2/10th of a pound since yesterday but it caused my homepage to proclaim 30 pounds down!!
9/28 253.4 -- Snacked right past any deficit last night. Insights abound. Among them: once I start I have difficulty stopping. Oh, I’ll just have this 100 calories morphs easily into 500. Old habits die hard!

9/20--225.5 Natural fluctuation. I also think I may be coming down with a cold.
9/21--225.5 Stretched yesterday
9/22--225.3 Back to the start of the round. I would love to break into the 224's by the end of this round, but I don't like to make weight goals. Weightlifted and stretched yesterday.
9/23--225.7 Was over about 400 cals yesterday, so not surprised about the temporary water gain. Stretched yesterday and went out for a hike today.
9/24--226.8 Total water retention. So sore from my hike yesterday and I did not drink enough water. Stretched yesterday.
9/25--225.9 The water weight is starting to go. The one thing that I realized this weekend is that I did not drink a lot of water and last night I started snacking even though I wasn't hungry. I caught myself from going over my calories too much, but it made me realize again that what we think may be hunger may really just be thirst.
9/26--224.6 Whoosh!
9/27--224.4 I guess yesterday wasn't a fluke. Stretched yesterday.
9/28--224.2 Weightlifted and stretched yesterday.

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.
9/27: 158.7. Yayyy Already hit my goal for this round. Super excited, although I'm still struggling with drinking enough water.
9/28: 158.7. I will take that.9
