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 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

9/11 146.9 ~ (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,
9/14 Didn't weigh in
9/15 146.7 ~ (Steps 23,040 Miles 9.25) ~ I'm not surprised my weight is up since Wednesday night the, Late night snacking, was bad, I received my Piyo tapes from Amazon so starting Sunday I'm starting that.
9/16 145.9 ~ (Steps 14,643 Miles 5.75) ~ Yesterday I was able to hit my goals with workouts and a healthy diet.

Okay, this sounds like a great thing to start. I just log my weight each day, right? Well, I happened to weigh myself yesterday so it's 199. I'll do it later today too. I've got about 25 lbs to lose but if I could lose 5 or more before a wedding in a month that would be a huge boost.

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!

Hi,
9/20 352.2 I'm not sure if I should set a goal weight for this round...
I, too, have a lot of weight to lose and have found that "time-stamped" goal weights don't work for me. I have more control over my behavior than what the scale will say. My goal is to keep aiming toward a daily calorie deficit. I didn't succeed yesterday but that's the first day I didn't in over a week. I know I can reclaim that goal today.
An occasional day of eating with wreckless abandon won't totally stop my weight from going down but it might make the reaching of some theoretical weight goal harder to reach. Not meeting that weight goal might make me want to quit whereas reacting as I did to bringing pecan pralines into the house (eating them all in one fell swoop) is more of a learning experience about my eating triggers.
Now, today, as I look at the higher weight on the scale, knowing a good deal of it is water from the take-out Chinese and some from the pralines, I can go back today to eating at a deficit, slap myself on the hand for setting my progress back a couple days, and go back to eating more normally rather than eating uncontrollably.
Losing the weight we need to lose, you and I, is a several year project. Weekly or ten-day, arbitrarily determined successes and failures are just going to mess with our minds. The important thing is to change our eating habits so that we control our calorie consumption. If we do that, the weight will come off. After all, that's the big goal anyway.6 -
All right, new day, feeling pretty good about things. Last night I went climbing for the first time in my adult life, and found a fifth obstacle course race I want to sign up for in the coming months. Pretty sure I've got the workout part of my wedding preparations under control!

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.
Oh, Cyranda, I hear you! Remember back when you just couldn't get into ONEderland? I do. In the meantime you've had to stop taking the water pill and had your mouth wired shut and you didn't let any of those things get you down. You persevered! You can get through this, too! Just think of all you've done for folks by starting and keeping up this challenge series. I'll gladly give you credit for several of my lost pounds and especially for making me stick to it this time. Heck, if you just took a couple of pounds each of us has lost in our 10-day challenges, you'd have a gazillion lost pounds to spare!!10 -

Looking for some 5's now.

There's your answer right there: increased workouts. When muscles are worked more than usual they need water to recover. Things will balance out. It's water.

Ok, thank you Heidi. I'll focus more on my behavior and identifying triggers. I have quit too many times in the past and I don't want to repeat that behavior. If I had a bad eating day, it would turn into another and then I'd be disappointed in myself and give up. I really want to succeed. I need to remember that I might fail some days, but it's like all things. You have to work at it.5 -

Number of perfect days in a row: 3
9/21: Wine night. Do I go? Or do I log 5 days in a row of perfection?
Which will make you feel better? 5 consecutive days of perfection or enjoying the company of friends/family/coworkers/meeting new people?
Which will you remember before you die? 5 days of perfection or wine night?
I'm late for last night, but for future events...I assume the attraction of wine night is as much the people as the wine, so why not go and sip one glass of wine all evening? Or ask for club soda in a wine glass? Same with food - make one round of the munchies (I assume not sit-down), heavy on veggies, smidgeons of the higher calorie stuff, and nibble. Drink one or two glasses of water just before you go and eat something healthy - maybe a protein and a piece of fruit - so you don't arrive hungry. Then enjoy!9 -
