Day/Weight/Comment
9/20:  161.8  In the 161s!!!  Yippee!

9/21:  161.0  "Flushed" a lot out today, so probably won't stick.  Nice to see nonetheless!  10-day average is below 163.  Yay!

9/22:  160.6  Gooooaaalllll! 

9/23:  160.2  Pleasantly surprised.

9/24:  159.8  Welcome 150s!  It's lovely to see you again.  Even if you don't stick around tomorrow, I know you are in the neighborhood and we'll be together soon. 

9/25:  159.6  Wow.  7th consecutive day of loss.  I'm a happy camper!

9/26:  159.6  This is 3 lbs less than this time last week.  Huge accomplishment!  A bit over sodium last night (and fat and carbs!) so maybe there will be a loss tomorrow.  I'll take anything in the 150s please.

9/27:  160.2  Dear 150s, where did you go?  We were just getting aquainted.  What did I do to scare you off?  Was it the cheeseburger on Monday night?  I was still at 1300 calories for the day and sodium under 2,700.  Yes, it's more than usual, but not over a half pounds' worth.  Whatever it is that drove you away, come back.  We can work it out.  Love, Me.

28/9 - 139.0 - I went swimming yesterday. I thought my lungs were going to burst! I also eat a Chelsea bun (400 calories) when I saw friends later. I need to do exercise today and eat well so I can counteract it's effect and stay where I am weight wise.

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

Observations, and Previous Rounds

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!

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 a gain due to 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!

21/9/2017: 161.8 Goals ✅ Wondering if my increased strength workouts are affecting my weight. Maybe need to hydrate more!

25/9/2017: 162.2 Goals? Meh! But rise totally predictable! City outing + Sunday visiting. And not hydrating properly. 4 days to redress this!
26/9/2017: 160.8 Goals ✅ What a difference a day (or two) staying on focus makes. Now to stick with it! Lol! I AM doing this!
27/9/2017: 160.4 Goals ✅ Easy does it! I'm working on strength, so weight loss will slow a bit as I streamline my body.

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.
9/27 155.6. - ok so back to Monday.. overall 1 down from beginning of round. It's true, if you only kind of do the plan you only kind of loose weight...
9/28 155 - that's right! Had a great workout yesterday. Kind of struggling with late night snacking though....want to hold this number through the weekend.

RD16 start 257.0 End 256.4

Goal this round -2.5 lbs.

9/20 255.0 I have a Dr. appt in about a month and hope to lose -5lbs, this round will be my kick start. I need to watch my carb intake, salt, sugar, and average 8000 steps per day.
9/21 254.6 My eating wasn't great, to many carbs, but 8700 steps helped I'm sure. Planning a good all around day.
9/22 253.5 The needle is moving in the right direction b/c I quit cheating with my eating and have actually put in an honest effort for a change. Dr appt was moved up two weeks But I'm keeping to my -5 lb goal.
9/23 255.0 Not happy, nope not at all, tired of the yoyoing
9/24 255.0
9/25 255.0 Today's goal is watch the sugar and carb intake, walk 8000 steps and enjoy the day.
9/26 255.0 The needles kinda stuck but I met my eating goals for yesterday, steps were a little low.
9/27 255.7
9/28 256.5 I got stuck in the sixties for a long time and now I'm stuck in the fifties, lets go forties haha.

R15 HW 195.4 LW 191.8 Total weights Average: 193.7
R16 HW 194.6 LW 190.8 Total weights Average: 192.8

So the general trend is downward!!!

R17 (4th round for me)

Highest recorded weight: 201 Lbs

I'm still on vacation. Let's see how I do!!!
Goal for this round is to say goodbye to 190's forever!!!! Weight on 9/19: 193.2

R17 (4th round for me)

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). So I'm pretty sure this is just crazy bloating and not a real number.
9/27 - 191.4
9/28 - 190.8!! Yay! I'm finally back here!!! Let's keep it this way this time!!!

ROUND 17 - My Round 4

Start weight for round 17 - 161.7

Up 0.2 from yesterday but overall down 0.3 from last round. I so badly want to break back out of the 160's - I am so unhappy that they are my new normal. I want to see 159.9 or anything below it, as soon as possible. Here we go for this round:

9/20 161.7 - no exercise yesterday because I got out of work 1.5 hours late due to a meeting, then having to finish some paperwork at home (gotta love teaching)
9/21 162.8 UGH. Salty skillet pack for dinner so I hope that's the problem
9/22 161.7 - less snacking at work and less food at night - or it could just be the salt leaving from 2 salty meals. Still no during the week exercise...sign
9/23 I truly forgot to track - I weighed in but don't remember!!
9/24 162.0 - my family had a surprise 30th birthday for me on Saturday so not too bad!!
9/25 161.8 - moving the right way despite more cake since Sunday was my real birthday and TOM all weekend
9/26 162.8 - my friend made me ice cream cake for work yesterday so I had to have some - plus a salty dinner - anyone else bounce between the same weights? It's never 162.7 or 162.9, always 162.8, 162.0, 161.8 etc...
9/27 161.6 - better!! Have to keep it together the next 2 days!!
9/28 161.3 - woo!! Keeping it together for one more day!! Gotta keep up the activity too!!

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.

9/27 196.8 I worked out yesterday, stayed under calories. I thought I'd see the scale go down. Maybe tomorrow.

9/28 194.6 Yay!!!!! I've been working hard the past few days. Nice to see the scale go down!

9/21
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.

Start Weight: 202
R17: 174.6
GW: 174
UGW:125

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)
9/22 - 167
9/23 – 167.4 I'd forgotten how annoying an uptick trend like this is. Won't worry about it, I know I was within my calorie limit the last few days.
9/24 – 166.5 Woohoo! Gotta love those hormonal swings. Hope I can stay here to the end of this round!
9/25 - 166
