Just wanted to check in with you all. I was in for a few rounds July - September, but have stopped regularly logging and weighing myself for a bit. I went from 193 (July 2016) to a low of 137 (April 2017). I was up to the low-mid 140s in July. I just got burnt out from logging and staying within a certain calorie count. I have had some days where I have logged, but more where I did not. I expected to have gained a bit, but when I finally weighed myself yesterday, I discovered that I have not gained anything yet (I was just under 140 yesterday). I will join you again if my weight goes up by 5+ pounds, but I think I have found the weight I want to be. I had a goal of 135, but I think this weight is good for me. I am 5-6 and wearing mostly size 4, some 6. I think I am done with losing weight, unless of course I gain some back. I'm going to see what happens without logging and go to weighing myself every week or 2. Thanks for the support for the weeks I was with you!

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has got me back on track big time!

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!

SW: 172.6
GW: 172 (30 lb. loss when I get there)
UGW: 125

10/01: 172.6 It's officially October! I think I need to break out some hot apple cider. I'll totally skip pumpkin spice.
10/02 172.2 I wasn't expecting a drop of any kind today, but this thrills me to no end. Only 2 more oz. to go, and I've lost a total of 30 lbs. I CAN AND WILL DO THIS!
10/03 172.2 Steady...steady. I put in about 10,000 steps yesterday. I ate all of my calories plus 17 more before exercise.
10/04 172.6 Well, I'm up 4 oz today. I was in meetings all day, so I didn't get as many steps in. I'll get there to that 30lbs...eventually.
10/05: 172.6 Did not eat nearly enough in calories AND didn't get a lot of steps in. I also barely drank anything at all. It wasn't because I didn't want to. I simply had a lot of personal things going on. I have a tendency to not eat much when upset. I've been this way all of my life.

ROUND 18 - my round 5

Round 4 was rough. It included my 30th birthday and many celebrations and lots of food for it. I ended it at 162 which is 0.5 above where I ended last round. So, let's see what this round does. I WILL do more exercise this round.

9/30 162.1 well yesterday was off the rails so I'm not supremely surprised...a 0.1 lb gain is basically just a normal fluctuation - going to do better. Not try -DO
10/1 161.0 - not sure what I did but wahoo!! Actually if I had to pinpoint it - not a lot of food before bed and purposeful exercise and barely any (if any) snacking. MUST KEEP THIS UP!!
10/2 161.0 - gotta keep this going in the right direction - gotta work out today after work no excuses
10/3 161.6 forgot to post yesterday
10/4 161.7 - no exercise the past 2 days - I HAVE to change that
10/5 161.0 - added in a long after work walk yesterday - also no snacks from the snack box at work - mist continue this for another day

9/30: 163.8 Feeling awesome this morning. Down even with homemade pizza last night and some candy corn. Made it fit so no going over Going to my in laws later and overnight so this will be hard. So. Much. Junkfood in their house!

10/1: 163.0 Yowza! I was not expecting that. I really think I'm still in the first 2 week quick drop I tend to do. I expect things will start to slow down this week. We didn't go to the in laws overnight so less temptation. We are going for the day today but I'm feeling confident!

10/2: 161.2 This really doesn't make sense. Too much. Scale was not off for my husband and batteries are new. I ate healthy but close to maintenence. My only thought is my sluggish digestive track got moving yesterday. TMI to share any more than that!

10/3: 161.6 Expected given the big drop yesterday.

10/4: 162.2 Telling myself this is normal. I started C25K yesterday. This is the most exercise I have had in a while. I want to see if I have the potential to be a "runner" even though I have always said it wasn't for me.

10/5: 162.0 Better direction today! Woke up feeling the edges of a cold. I always have the urge to eat when I have a cold. My plan is hot tea if i need it. Planning to do w1d2 of c25k today. Hopefully feeling up to it.

10/3 - 157.4 - I really love this challenge. I was skeptical about weighing every day. I've tried it before and it's never really worked for me. I would go through periods with no movement or a tick upward and I would get frustrated and go off the rails. However, this gives me accountability and support and even on Groundhog Days, a glance to the top of my post each day and taking a moment to honor my steady progress keeps me going. Thanks to all of you. I love checking in and seeing how everyone is doing each morning!
10/4 - 157.6 - And then some days I wanna toss my scale out the window.
10/5 - 158.6 - Oh for goodness sake. I literally followed my food plan exactly to the oz and worked out with my trainer, so I have no clue what this business is about. I choose to focus on my new dress for a work photo shoot that looks spectacular on me.

Goal: Continue to log all my food each day.


9/30 - 259.8 - Went grocery shopping last night. Got more veggies and no junk food. Let's see if I can survive the week! Last week I didn't buy any candy and after a few days, I wasn't craving it as much, so I'm keeping that up!
10/1 - 259.0 - Took my middle child out for lunch and had only protein for dinner to compensate. I was really craving junk last night but did not indulge. It paid off! Today is our weekly pizza night with the in-laws, so I'm going to try really hard not to have a gain tomorrow.
10/2 - 258.6 - Woohoo! Again, I planned my day around having pizza at night and I made sure to get a few walks in and I had a loss. Not by a lot, but usually Monday mornings means a gain of ~3 pounds. I feel like I'm really starting to get into the right mindset and it's getting easier and easier to have willpower. Not easy, mind you, but easier. Looking forward to more loss tomorrow
10/3 - 259.4 - Ugh. A gain. Less than a pound, but still. I am really seeing how important it is for my body that I walk or exercise or do something after dinner. Based on the walk I took earlier in the day and my calories, I was under. But I guess I need to make sure to add a 20 minute post-dinner walk in to my routine. Also, I didn't get much sleep, which could have been a contributing factor. Either way, I'm still under 260 and I am determined NOT to break that threshold again! Tomorrow will be a loss, I can feel it in my determination already
10/4 - 259.0 - I was right, it was a loss! Not by much, but a loss is a loss. As long as it's going in the right direction, I'm happy. Last night, I walked for about 20 minutes after dinner. This really seems to be important for me. Even though dinner was 3 pieces of leftover pizza, I had my walk and I had a loss.
10/5 - 260.2 - I am so frustrated. Yesterday was a really good day for me! I was under calories (when you consider exercise). I walked over an hour, got 11K steps, walked after dinner. The only reason I can think that it was a gain instead of a loss is that I didn't sleep very well. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of control over how much sleep I get right now (still pumping breastmilk for the baby which requires me to be up at 11 every night and 5 every morning), but the past few nights I've been waking up during my sleeping hours and just have been restless/uncomfortable. Luckily, my DH lets me get as much sleep as I need on the weekends, and I really feel like that helps. It's just really discouraging to work so hard and see a gain. I don't feel like giving up, but I do hope that tomorrow brings a nice big loss to keep me motivated. Oh, and today's my appointment with the podiatrist, so hopefully I'll find out what's wrong with my foot and a solution to fix the pain!

9/30 - 226.2 TOM and stress eating. I got up at 3:30 am to get my 18 yr old off to a job 15 minutes away that starts at 5. (herbalist/stoner/pot head - pick one). After doing battle for an hour it went down hill, I started eating badly from then with grilled lamb strips until 11 pm ending with 2 whole wheat buns with franks and cheese. It definitely was not pretty. Nothing I ate left me satisfied. Previously when my eating was unchecked it would be from high calorie meals and not from foraging. I didn't recognize myself. The first mistake was not drinking my cup of decaf coffee/tea. The heat early in the morning calms me until breakfast. Back to routine. I've joined the 24hr exercise challenge to motivate me for October. So at least when I wake for 3:30 Monday I can fill the time with riding my bike before work. Lemons=lemonade.
10/1 - 229 no comment
10/2 - 227.6 yesterday 1hr stationary bike. Today 1hr indoor walking - leslie sansone et al. I pull up a vid on youtube and put on techno via my phone. Any constant talking bores me. So win
win. Suffice it to say, I am definitely not fit.Lol.
10/3 - 227.6
10/4- 226.6 over ate yesterday but put in 1hr 14 min of riding and floor exercises. Not proud but coping. I want to at least reach back to 223 by the end of the round.
10/5 - 225.8 1 1/2hr walking. After some initial 'i don't wanna' coupled with sleepy legs and tight back, i did it! 3.7miles now for continuity. Back to work tomorrow.

10 Day Goal: I know weight loss is going to be difficult without an oven, so I will be focusing mainly on fitness while trying to stay as close to my calorie goal as possible. Hoping to have 10 miles complete by the end of the 10 days and possibly get down to 152.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 152.68 We have hot water! Lots of housecleaning today but no walk. We are at a friend's house for dinner tomorrow, so I have no control on what is being made. I really want to get exercise in just in case it is something high in calories.
10/1 152.46 Running behind on checking in. I managed 1.3 miles walking and remained under calories eating with friends, including some wine.
10/2 151.36 I stepped on and off the scale 4 times because I was in disbelief of this number. Really hoping it stays. Walked another mile today.
10/3 151.8 I knew yesterday's number was a bit too low to be true. I'm still very happy with my current lose. I pushed myself to do another 1.5 miles today. My husband is being very supportive of me trying to get in better shape and has been walking with me which is really helping.
10/4 151.58 No workout today.
10/5 150.48 Not sure how accurate this number is. Weight loss and staying under calories right now is more to do with life stress and being overly busy than a conscious effort.

9/30- 197.6 - I had been steady at 199.6 for several days, before I made a post in this challange last night. 197 was my goal, so I adjusted it. Happy with this loss. Calorie intake was a tad bit over yesterday. My husband made popcorn late and I had a couple handfulls.
10/1- 199 - First day since I've started a couple weeks ago that my weight has gone up a significant amount. I know why. I ate like cheap yesterday. Homecoming shopping with my son, stopped at McDonald's and has a cheese burger, then after we dropped them off we had pizza, and I had way more than I should have. Today is a new day. Moving forward.
10/2 -199.6- Wrong direction! I ate under my goal yesterday, and increased my water intake. I think I might need to increase my fiber. Going to buy bran flakes today. Also thinking perhaps my 197.6 reading from earlier this week was a fluke.
10/3 -198- That is a better direction. Yesterday was a good day. Was under my calorie goal, increased the water. Haven't gotten to the store for more fiber rich foods, I will do that soon.
10/4- 197.4- Woohoo! I stepped on the scale 3 times to be sure. Added more fiber, ate under calories & sodium. Dinner out yesterday, but still had plenty of calories left and made wise choices. (Salad bar, veggie soup, & fruit). Glad my husband chose that place, because my head was spinning about what is order at the other places her was naming.
10/5- 196.2 - No idea how that is possible, but I Checked 3 times. I'll take it! Was under calories yesterday.

10/3 - 224.2 - Heading back in the right direction. Got to the gym and stayed in calories yesterday. Renewed motivation.
10/4 - 223.6 - Looks like things are under control again. Just have to keep working at it.
10/5 - 222.6 - I guess I was holding on to a lot of water. Numbers keep going down now that I'm back to walking three miles every night and keeping my diet in check. I'm pleased.

Back again!I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Ended Round 17 at 140. I'm at roughly .5 a week loss. For this round I'd like to hit the 139's and stay in the 39's or below . Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 22 pounds.

9/30 141.4 Guess who didn't exercise and who had cheesecake and wine for dinner? Going to an Oktoberfest to do today. Will be walking in fresh air.
10/1 140.8 Indulged some at a buffet yesterday but also walked around quite a bit. Today back on ellip or maybe some more walking.
10/2 140.6 Sooo tired yesterday, no exercise. Took long nap. Think it's the change of seasons, maybe allergies. gym today for sure.
10/3 140.8 Considering how I ate yesterday = reuben and caramel apple = happy with this number. Went to gym, did therapy/exercise. Today, maybe a walk in the park to enjoy this glorious weather. or ellip. Now to up exercise and get below 140.
10/4 141.6 It finally caught up. No exercise yesterday. Allergy med had me listless. Today, gym and making chicken veggie soup which always helps me eat clean and lose. Come on, 139! I'm calling to you!

10/5 140.8 Great workout at gym. Changed things up a lot. Delightfully sore. Four more days to lose 1 pound and reach my goal for this round. Come on, Eileen!

Here we go! Another 10 days! I love these challenges. This round might not be great for me since we are going on vacation for 5 days but will be doing a TON of walking for 2 of those days so hopefully I can keep up on my water intake and that will help with the extra calories I'll be eating!

10/3 - 183.8
10/4 - 183 - this week has been hectic and I haven't been focusing on weight loss at all. Getting ready to go up north tomorrow and trying to tie up loose work ends before then so I can actually relax when we go! However, today my goal is to stay under calories/carbs and drink 6 refills of my big water bottle. That would be about 200 oz of water and I can tell my body needs it! I get so sore and achy when I don't drink enough water.
10/5 - 180.6 - WHAT?!?! I'm sooooo happy! The last 2 days (especially yesterday) I have really watched what I ate, made healthy choices, and drank a lot of water. Yesterday I didn't quite make the 6 refills but I did drink 4.5 of them (148 oz)! I stayed under calories and under carbs yesterday too. I'm glad today's weight is low because I'm guessing my weight will be up after vacation!

01/10 - 217.5
02/10 - 219.8 - Busy birthday weekend over! I was happy with my back to work number today considering the food I indulged in. Thanksgiving is this weekend coming which means I have to work hard this week so this weekend does not derail me too much. Thankfully I'm not a huge turkey/stuffing/cranberry/pumpkin pie fan so I should be okay...
03/10 - 218.2 - Yeah....I think my goal weight for this round is starting to look a little ambitious. I pick up my instant pot today, so excited! No idea what to do with it but I'm hoping it will help in the evening to not eat so late because dinner takes forever to be done.
04/10 - 218.4 - That's a whole lotta nope.

05/10 - 218.9 - Well I'm not happy obviously but I did have a small sub yesterday for lunch and an incredibly salty cut of meat (pre marinated at the butcher that I would never buy again) along with sweet potato fries and corn for dinner...so ultimately pleasantly surprised. Hopefully it won't rear it's ugly head tomorrow.

10/5 / 224.6 / Did pretty well yesterday and stayed under calorie goal. Looks like i need to up the cardio intensity. I'd like to see 220 by 10/9 weigh in.

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!

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.

Hello Friends! Here we go again!!

SW - March 2017 - 182.4
GW - to maintain between 145-150- will try to hit 145 before adjusting to maintenance calories

9/29 - 148.4 - coming in from round 17

Round 18 ends on Canadian Thanksgiving...so to be honest I'll be thrilled if I can keep it under 150 at the end of the round

9/30 - 148.8 - I feel super crappy today...headache, scratchy throat, ache everywhere...we'll see how the day goes, if I feel like eating it will probably be comfort food but I'll try to be good. I had a long trail run planned this morning but that's out the window now...my dog is super disappointed LOL
10/1 - 149.0 - Woke up feeling no better today...if not worse. Ate hardly anything yesterday but also hardly moved, I'm so stiff and achey. Not going to worry about the weight too much until I feel better, my body is going to hold onto stuff as it kicks this bug to the curb.
10/2 - 149.0 - Diagnosis in...Strep infection. Lets see what this prescription does to my body besides kill the germies...
10/3 - 148.0 - Amazing how quickly antibiotics start to work. Feeling significantly better but still pretty weak and run down. I thing I sweated out a pound of water over night though while the fever broke...I was drenched!!
10/4 - 147.2 - that's what happens when you hardly eat anything for almost 4 days. Feeling so much better this morning and I seem to have my appetite back so we'll see if I can make this stick as my bod wants to re-fuel and repair.

10/5 - 147.4 - Feeling well enough to get in to work for a client today...mostly a planning day so nothing too physical. Hope I'm feeling up to a few hikes/runs on the trails this weekend to ward off the Thanksgiving pounds...
