    GW: 114-118

    Doing the ILKB 45 day challenge as well.
    Drinking lots of water each day.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    9/20 125.8 -weight crept back up after last weeks several day low at the 122s. I did kickboxing last night. Went over calories by 200 calories.
    9/21 127.3 - very frustrated. I did a legs day and a whole body workout yesterday. I was over calories due to the holiday, but not 2 lbs worth. Not sure why my weight keeps creeping up despite increased workouts and watching my calorie intake.
    9/22 125.1 - weight went down a bit. Ate within calories. Did a HIIT class and kickboxing.
    9/23. 126.3. Urggggghh. I did a whole body interval class and kickboxing class. Ate within calories. I would be ok with no loss, but the gains are frustrating me. I'm already at 1200 calorie intake.
    9/24 124.8 Did 2 back to back kickboxing classes yesterday. Ate within calories,
    9/25 124.3 Rest day. Ate within calories.
    9/26 124.3 Did an upper arm 30 minute class. Over ate by ~ 350 calories.
    9/27 123.8. Finally a number within last weeks average! Happy scale is no longer registering a loss average for me. =( I did 2 kickboxing classes. Didn't eat back all my calories.
    9/28 123.1 Did a legs day. Went over by ~350 late at night. Still no trend on Happy Scale.
    9/29 123.9. Did a morning and evening kickboxing class. Was under calories for the day.

    Hard to figure out if I'm pushing my body too much or not enough.

    I can't remember what board I found this challenge on! Was it the motivation one? I definitely want to participate in round 18! I'm on my phone, and for some reason I can see the challenge but not which board. Sorry if I sound like an idiot. Lol.

    It's on the challenges board under the community tab.

    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
    9/21
    9/22 - 175
    9/23 - 173.4 - what????
    9/24 - 175.2 - of course
    9/25 - 175.6
    9/26 - 175.4
    9/27 - 174.4 - trying to keep moving. Limiting Alcohol. :) Hope this works.
    9/28 - didn't way today. Son is sick again, and got distracted. Arggggggg.
    9/29


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

    Focus.

    Jumping in late but 2nd round for me.

    R16 start: 165.7 end:164.4
    R17 start 164.4 goal: 162.5


    Day/Weight/Comment
    9/20
    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.

    9/29 161.4 Hooray! Surpassed my goal in this round. Really owe a lot of success to this group. Not sure why I'm this far down today because I ate a burger way late last night and drank alcohol. Working on better tracking, prepping and drinking my water in the next round! Has the link for it been posted?

    @cyranda63 @tishawj

    I came into this daily challenge to learn to face whatever obstacles present itself - good or bad. And not eat it away. Thanks for reminding of this. I have to face it. Time to pull up the big girl panties, at 50 what other choice there is :smile:

    Next round here I come. Yes!

    SW 190
    CW :180
    GW for challenge 178
    GW overall 154
    Day/Weight/Comment
    9/20 : I weighed in at 180 and really want to reach the 70s! Hoping to get a workout after work! I made all my meals for today so no eating out.
    9/21: 181. Yikes!! lol I'm not sure why? I was under calories but didn't hit my water goal so maybe that's why? Still comited and doing strong! The 70s will be mine!!!!
    9/22 179.4. Yayy!!!! I'm going to keep it going so I stay in the 70s. I had a great day yesterday! All my meals planned, a nice workout, increased my water intake and eight hours of sleep! I wonder how much I'd weigh if everyday was like that? Doing the same today! Feeling determined!
    9/23 178.2! Wow!!! Okay. I'm hoping to keep it here! I've had another great day yesterday. I am so happy! Going for another great day today since I work late tonight.
    9/24 179.0. I'm okay with this number. My weigh in was wayyyy earlier then normal since I had to be at work at 5:30am!! I also had an emotional day yesterday which lead to my workout being before I went to sleep rather then earlier in the day! I was still under my calorie goal which is great but I was no where near the 8 hours of sleep so I feel sluggish today. Hopefully I can make it through work without any issues.
    9/25 179.6 so yesterday was not a good day for me. I was over on calories started TOM and just gave into a lot of cravings. Worried about today as well as I am eating out with my mother and her choices in restaurants aren't always health friendly. So I'm planning a hard work out night to head in the right direction tomorrow
    9/26 178.6 Yes!!! I knew I could do it! Okay let's see how I can do today now that I'm closing! Closing shifts are my favorite because I have a great routine when it comes to them! So hopefully I'm the same or go down again!
    9/27 178.8 Too much sugar and not enough water yesterday! I was just having one of those days where work was a real pain. I'm still glad to see the 70's. Hoping to end it strong maybe with my lowest weight?
    9/28 179. lol another early weigh in and start of the day. Planning a good work out tonight to see how I do!
    9/29 177.6!!!!! Wow that is a great number hoping to keep it! It's my day off which means it can be great or I can fall off the wagon! I'm hoping to eat under, workout and have all the water I need!

    This challenge has really helped me learn a lot about my body! SO, bring on round 18!!! Lol

    Ultimate goal - 135
    R17 Goals: eat well clean & healthfully, ~1430 cal, macros P30 C35 F35 %
    5'3", 64 yrs
    R15 end weight 151.2
    R16 end weight 151.4
    R17 end weight 151

    Date - Moving Average (Happy Scale)
    9/20 - 151.8
    I had bounced up a little toward the end of R16, so this is actually back down a pound. :-)

    9/21 - 151.8
    Hit most of my goals - a little off on patience. ;-)

    9/22 - 151.9
    I'm hitting my goals, so I know it's water. At least it doesn't look so bad with the moving average!

    9/23 - 152.1
    Oopsie. My hubby is out of town and I went on a Triscuit binge last night, so I'm up 2 pounds this morning. I know this is not fat, but still...I haven't done that in a very long time - not sure what got into me. Anyway, off to the store for lean protein and veggies. I'm also cutting my calories to 1680, since I've been pretty much maintaining at 1800-1900. Here's to a better day!

    9/24 - 152.3
    Still paying for my Fri night binge, but I was back on track yesterday and will stay there today. Tomorrow is another day!

    9/25 - 152.3
    Sigh. I'm eating at calorie/macro goals but didn't get my walk yesterday. Still, I thought I'd drop a little. Off for a long walk now. I keep reminding myself that there's always a time lag, and the numbers will improve.

    9/26 - 152.1
    Amazing how easy it is to add, how difficult to subtract. I'm focusing on just eating well and walking. The weight will go. Is this the Universe telling me to work on my patience muscle?

    9/27 - 152
    My weight is actually down 1.2 lb to 151.6, but the moving average takes longer to move, of course. But yay! I'm eating lots of protein and fat, cut back on carbs, lots of water, and walking. I'd really like to finish the round at least where I started, if not lower!

    9/28 - 151.4 (ave 151.8)
    I got tired of seeing that elevated average :-). So paying attention is paying off and I seem to be moving in the right direction. Yay! Now that the weather is a bit cooler, I'm going to start running again (actually "wrunning" - walk/run intervals). I don't generally go long distance (although I did a 10K last winter), but feel better if I do about 20 min of running 3-4 times a week.

    9/29 - 151 (ave 151.7)
    Okay! Down .8 for this round despite my triscuit/licorice binge uptick early on. It's not a lot of weight, but I FEEL thinner/lighter, so something's happening. I cut my calories to ~1500 about half way through this round (after the binge) and that sees to be the magic number. And I'd like to say this group and the daily accountability helps a lot. Looking forward to Round 18!

    All right, the moment of truth for this session!

    9/20 - 214.2 lb
    9/21 - 213.6
    9/22 - 211.4
    9/23 - 213.2
    9/24 - 213.2
    9/25 - 213.2
    9/26 - no data
    9/27 - 211.0
    9/28 - 211.8
    9/29 - 211.2!

    Total loss over 10 days: 3 lb!

    Finally officially signed up for my first two events last night (hooray for payday), which, looking at this, feels like a great reward for staying on track. At this rate, I think I'm also doing a pretty good job toward earning myself a good fitness tracker.

    Heading to both of my gyms later to keep up the momentum!

    9/23 138.7 29.9% BF Had adventure race all day today so ran about 4 mi, walked a bunch more and pretty tired by the end of the day. Really slcaked on diet (beer and pizza) but it was hard work!

    Revised goal:  158.8

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

    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!  :smile:

    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.  :smile:

    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. :smile:

    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.

    9/28:  159.4  ;)

    9/29:  159.8  Too close to 160s for my comfort!

    Round 17 Results
    SW 162.6, EW 159.8 (-2.8 lb),
    LW 159.4, HW 161.8, AVG 160.0

    Amazing round for me!

    Wins:
    - Made goal weight 3 days in.
    - 7 consecutive days of loss.
    - Best round yet, -2.8 lbs.
    - I'M IN THE 150s!!!

    I'd like to thank the Academy...hahaha!

    Seriously, thank you for the incredible support, everyone.  See you in Round 18!


    I believe in my ability to MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES, to LOSE WEIGHT, and KEEP IT OFF!

    Goal weight 129

    9/20 - 133.2
    9/21 - 132.8 I ran 5 miles yesterday and logged everything (finally). Off to the gym I go. Back in the right direction. woohoo!!!
    9/22 - 131.8 It really is all about what you eat and logging. Logged everything yesterday (even if it was all at the end of the day). Whenever I fall off the logging wagon, I pay the price on the scale. But really it's a chicken or egg type of story - because when I am not eating right, I don't want to log. The exercise part is the easy part for me. Happy Friday everyone!!!
    9/23 - 131 Back in the swing of things. Already finished with the gym and mindful eating. Happy Saturday everyone!
    9/24 - didn't weigh right this morning. Weighed w/clothes on and then naked post run. But I figure was between 131-132. Ate Chinese tonight, probably will retain some water. But got my run in. We will see...
    9/25 - 131.8 I was hoping it would have been better. Maybe tomorrow. Gym done today and logging :)
    9/26 - 131.8 So here's the question. My original goal was 132 and then once I reached it, I changed to to 129. As you can see I have hovered over 132 for a long time. My question is, is this where I should be and learn to maintain? Or do I keep attempting to get below 130? Any thoughts???
    9/27 - 130.6 go figures. Just as i am thinking my weight is never going to drop! Ran my 5 today and drank my healthy smoothie.
    9/28 - forgot to weigh until after I raked leaves in the Florida heat and lost probably 5 lbs in water weight. Did not count it.
    9/29 - 130.8 happy with the end result. Not happy with my consistent accountability. But onward to the next round.

    Ready to go again

    Current weight: 135.8
    8 week goal: 125
    Long term goal: 115?

    9/20 135.8 was lower yesterday but ate a burrito for dinner last night because kitchen sink exploded.
    9/21 133.6 well that was unexpected. Let's see if the drop sticks around...
    9/22 135.2 noooope. Oh well. Still trending downward
    9/23 134.4 down again. Good enough.
    9/24 135.0
    9/25 136.8 ooof. Let my carb intake creep up the last couple days and it really shows on the scale...
    9/26 134.8 kept carbs lower yesterday and the effect is pretty immediate
    9/27 133.8
    9/28 I guess my post gotten eaten yesterday. I don't remember what it was...
    9/29 134.8

    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.
    09/29: 174 lbs Birthday with my Daddy and a visit with my Grandma who lives out of state. Ate a sandwich high in carbs, but I did refuse chips and birthday cake and ice cream. I also refused soda and stuck to my water, but here I am again, which was my goal weight for this round so I shouldn't complain.
