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.

9/20- 175.6

Goal for this round is back down to 174. Ultimate goal weight 153.

Focus.

I am sorry to hear that your son has Crohns. I know from firsthand how difficult it can be on your loved one and even yourself. My husband has it.

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.

9/20: 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 Rounds

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:

• 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.

Don't beat yourself up over a temporary gain. Trust the process and stick with the programme.
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

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.

9/25 - 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.

9/21 194.7 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.

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

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
