10/1 157.5 WTH
10/2 156.5 Another tragedy in Las Vegas. Saturday night 4 teens walking on the sidewalk were mowed down by a car passing where there was no lane. Now at 59 dead and 527 injured on The Strip. Pray for Las Vegas.
10/3 157 I did not stress eat although I was pretty upset all day. DH reminded me that I wanted a Greek salad so I did not have to deal with fixing leftovers. Went to my fave Greek place, ate half of my salad w/gyro meat and 1/4 pita. Did not drink even half of my Daily water!
10/4 156.5 Played 2 games of bocce last night with DH, BFF, and her man-friend. Gentle activity but activity all the same!
10/5 155.5 Well hello again 155.5. I would love to meet your neighbors 154 and 153.
10/6 155.5 Okay Body, a little more please.

10/3 108.8 lbs What! So I have been limiting exercise to lose weight (yes that's right). Exercise increases my appetite. This week I am adding back lifting weights (which I love). The gain is not muscle (not yet) but more likely the water needed to increase my glycogen stores. My Calorie intake past 5 days = 1630. I should be able to recover if I stay consistent. Right?
10/4 107.8 - better but still over 1500 calories yesterday.

CW 178
GW 165 (for now)
I went into R17 at 179ish and ended it at 178. Goal for this round is 176 or lower.
Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 - 176.4. Nice drop! Yesterday I ate super clean and made sure to get my water in. I've had a cold, so I've hardly moved, though. I'm hoping to get a walk or hike in today. This is my first full 10 day challenge and I'm excited to be involved.
10/1 - 177.2 I ate clean again yesterday and went on a hike. I'm recovering from a cold, so I turned around sooner than I'd planned, but I still did 3 miles and managed over 11,000 steps for the day. I've started ignoring MFPs calories and going off my Fitbit. MFP routinely gives me almost 300 calories more than my fitbit says I should eat, so I'll play around with this and see what happens. I had 2 NSVs victory - 1) I made a vegetarian dinner and really enjoyed it, and 2) I realized my weight would likely pop up today, and when it did, I didn't feel discouraged. This challenge is already helping me, thank you! Today I'm smoking tri-tips for dinner; portions may be an issue because they are delish!
10/2 - 177. Yay! I'm surprised after a nice dinner with wine last night, but my calories were spot on.
10/3 - 176.2. I was actually pretty hungry yesterday but tamed it with healthy foods.
10/4 - 176.2. Nothing major to report. Ate well, calories on target, and managed to go on a walk.
10/5 - 177. My calories have been good, this is a normal daily fluctuation, I think. I had a little wine last night and not enough water yesterday.
10/6 - 178. This literally makes no sense at all. Except our weight fluctuates daily. Right?!? Perhaps I didn't drink enough water yesterday, but everything else was spot on.
10/7 - 177.4. Polished off a bottle of wine with hubby last night and I was expecting this number to be higher. It's starting to look like I won't hit 176 this round. We have Chinese food somewhere in our weekend and I imagine just the sodium will keep me from dropping, even if my calories are good. But, we shall see.

Round 12: 174
Round 13: 171.4
Round 15: 166.8
Round 16: 164.6
Back for Round 18!
9/30: 165.5 Just returned from NYC yesterday. I did pretty well during the week, but once the event was over, celebrated with drinks, salty food and a very long day yesterday, flying home. Lots of water and a good workout is on the agenda today.
10/1: 165.5 Didn't get in my workout yesterday. Business travel just screws with my momentum and energy. Trying to get my 64 oz of water in today.
10/2: 163.4 This drop is just what I needed this morning, because I was not feeling any motivation this weekend. The fridge is stocked with fruits and veggies and stuff for lunch. I have pre-tracked my food. Time to get back into the routine and make this stick!
10/3: 163.4 October is going to be busy, both work wise and on a personal level/family obligations. The potential for stress eating is high. I didn't exercise or drink enough water yesterday. Fought off the late night snacking, but I just didn't feel that great. Lots of sadness in the news yesterday. How I eat and how I exercise is about the only thing in my life that I control... I guess I should look at my going to bed instead of eating a bunch of sweets last night as a victory.
10/4: 163.5
10/5: 163.1 My body needs a jump start. Got my 30 Day Shred DVD out last night and did it. This worked well for me when I lost a bunch of weight 4 years ago. Still doing the C210K and have made it to 4 miles, so seeing progress. I have a bunch of cute fall clothes in my closet that are still a little too tight. Right now that is my motivation: to be able to get up in the morning and have everything fit!
10/6 163.1 Day 2 of 30 Day Shred in the books. I am sore, but a good sore and these muscles need to wake up. Breakfast & Lunch packed and tracked on MFP. TGIF!
10/7 163.1 Did I say "good sore" yesterday? I lied. Everything. Hurts. Day 3/30 in the books. Time to stretch. Holding steady.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30--223.9 Normal fluctuation. Went out for lunch yesterday. Goal for today is to continue drinking water.
10/1--225 WATER!!! Stretched today.
10/2--224.4 Was much better with my water yesterday.
10/3--223.9 Sick today. Trying to stay hydrated.
10/4--221.7 I'm not going to get too excited about this number. When I'm sick I lose my appetite and yesterday I barely ate.
10/5--221.7 Was still sick yesterday. Today feeling better and appetite is back, so we'll see how the scale reacts tomorrow.
10/6--222.4 Totally expected this bump.
10/7--223.5 Ok, back to normal. Today I am going to stay hydrated. I decided that on the weekends I would fill up a 1 gallon container with water in the morning, sit it on my kitchen counter, I don't like cold water, and make sure I drink the container throughout the day. Let's see if this works.

10/4 - 193.8
10/5 - 192.9 Chipping away at the fluid and the weight. Bought ice cream yesterday because I went for a tooth cleaning and we all deserve something after that. Then I did not eat any ice cream because I liked where I was calorie wise for the day, and I was not hungry. WIN!
10/6 - 192.2 A lot of fruit and veg yesterday. Also the second half of a massaman curry. So much tastier on day two.
10/7 - 191.1 Nice number, but it goes up and down and up routinely. I have big peaks and valleys. But the overall trendline is down. Wedding today - I may indulge.

09/30 – 182.8 – This is my lowest recorded weight for the past 4 years! I couldn’t believe it! Finally, I’m back to this point! Slowly but surely is the way indeed, and even if I stumble along the way, what’s important is to get up and continue, never giving up or losing hope. Stay focused. Sometimes I’ll indulge and commit mistakes, feel guilty, but will still move on. Use the lessons learned and enjoy the journey to the healthier me.
10/01 - 182.8 -- no movement for today, hope this is just water. In any case, I did good today with no night snacking or sugary treats (though I still ate too many carbs, lol).
10/02 - 182.3 -- yey! got another drop from the reading. I wonder though when I'll manage my carbs. Seems like I overeat carbs 4 or 5 times in a week! Got lots of exercise today, though. Been practicing for a dance performance due two weeks from now, and I was also able to manage to squeeze in another exercise challenge.
10/03 - 183.2 -- a pound! But I was kinda expecting this, with the consecutive days that I had too many carbs, plus the exercises/workout/dancing that I did yesterday. I still went over my carbs today and didn't hit my protein goal, sadly. We'll see how things turn out tomorrow, if still the same, I'm gonna 'tweak' some things in the coming days.
10/04 - 182.1
10/05 - 181.7
10/06 - 179.2
10/07 - 180.9 -- been sick (feverish, colds and a hacking cough) for the past few days so I wasn't able to update my status. Sudden weight loss due to loss of appetite plus vomiting. Good thing I was able to down dinner last night. I'm not being mindful of what I eat for the meantime, just trying to eat whatever I can. I'm thinking of giving up this round until I feel better.

9/30 - 223.6 - I have to get back on the ball with working out this week.
10/1 - 224.6 - I'm just having a rough run hovering within the same pound though so I guess that's not terrible.
10/2 - 225.6 - I HAVE to get back on the ball. Two weeks with little to no exercise and spotty tracking is catching up with me. Determined to get to the gym tonight and start getting everything back on track.
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.
10/6 - 222.4 - Moving in the right direction. Going to have to make sure I keep it together this weekend w/ food and exercise so I don't backslide.
10/7 - 223.2 - Ugh. Binged so hard last night. Can't even begin to figure out how much I actually ate. That's OK though because today is a new day.

Well...to say I've had a set back is an understatement. I did great while on vacation - it's been the two weeks that I've been back - I've been eating like a pig (and that's an insult to pigs everywhere!).

10/2 - 100.6 yah super happy this morning. Great start to my Monday morning!!!
10/3 - 100.3 I did sneak in a few cookies yesterday but super happy with this loss.

9-30 - 150.8
Good start, despite salty lunch out yesterday.
10-1 - 151
There's that sodium!
10-2 - 151.2
Up, down, up down... I've been way too hungry at 1500, so I've bumped my calorie goal back up to ~1700. I've been maintaining @ 1800-1900 for 6 months, so I should slowly lose at 1600-1700. I don't care about speed, as long as I'm moving in the right direction. And I'm not hangry!
10-3 - 151.2
I should be losing by all calculations, but I'm not. I've been hovering around 151 for months, eating anywhere from 1500-2000 calories. Doesn't make sense. Apparently my body thinks this is where it should be. Sigh.
10-4 - 151.2
Still here. Calories, exercise, macros all on point, so I duuno. Patience, I guess.
10-5 - 150.6
Finally! Jeesh! About time. :-)
10-6 - 150.8
That's fine - still under 151! Still hoping to get out of the 50's by the end of this round, but at least I'm moving in the right direction. Looking forward to meeting a long-time Facebook friend and her dogs today as they drive through. One of her Border Collies modeled for the cover of one of my mystery novels, and another inspired a scene in a later book. I've wanted to meet them for years! Then a long walk this evening. :-)
10-7 - 150.8
The scale isn't showing much, but something's happening. Yesterday I noticed that my pants looked baggy in pics my hubby took of me and my friend and her dogs -the belly looked especially "poochy." So I tried on the next size smaller, and voila! Comfy and look better. I wore the smaller ones before I did the metabolism reset, so I seem to be getting back to where I was when I started that almost a year ago. That's better than weight!

Just give me 10 days
1st round
Lose 2 lbs at the end of this round.
132.6 lbs (9/27) lowest weight during this weight loss progress. But it’s been going up and down 1.5 lbs for a couple of days sadly. Need to see the 120’s again so bad! Seems so close... yet so far!!
9/30 - 133.4 lbs. Darn sodium. Did cardio for an hr. Felt like a cold is oncoming with severe headache. Ate dinner later than I usually do. Also ate a little over my goal but stayed within maintenance.
10/1 - 133.4 lbs. Did not workout because I was exhausted, so called it a rest day.
10/2 - 132.4 lbs. Yay! Finally a tiny bit of progress! It’s not much but I’ll take it. It is getting tiring, hovering over the same couple of lbs for more than a week now. I need to make sure I stop eating by 8 pm every night and get more protein. Plan is to workout today. Eating out for lunch, so will be ordering something healthy.
10/3 - 132.8 lbs. ugh!! There’s that sodium from the lunch yesterday I suppose. I had chicken and vegetables at a Thai place :-/ oh well. Stayed at a deficit with calories. Walked an hr. Yesterday, instead of the usual stationary bike. I have a cold and that is not helping my case. Really need to get on with my usual workout.
10/4 - 132 lbs. yay! Cardio for an hr. Yesterday and it was a good workout. Ate really well too. Hopefully I can keep the weight from going up anymore. We shall see.
10/5 - 131.6 lbs. An hr. of cardio and ate better Yesterday. Going out tonight so will try to make the best choices with food. Do not think will have time to work out today.. Boo! Fingers crossed that I can keep the scale from going up!!!
10/6 - 131.4 lbs. eeeeek! Ate out tonight with friends. I did get an hr. of workout in yesterday, even though I thought I wouldn’t have time. Hit my goal of loosing 2 lbs for this challenge.
10/7 - 131.2 lbs. 45 min cardio yesterday and was ok with caloric intake. Given that we went out to three different places plus dessert. But very small portions for me to stay within at least maintenance. Most likely just dehydrated from last night and not an actual loss. I’m just hoping really hard it doesn’t go up too much. Weekends are hard!!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30: 154.6 /Going back down to my lowest from R17. Ate under calories today but no exercise. The next two days are going to be a wash. I'm going to a conference in Maine and plan to enjoy myself in terms of food. I will try to still estimate everything I eat!
10/1: 155 /Up again. I don't know why. I mean, It's still my TOM and I didn't drink much water yesterday. It's equally disappointing because I'm going on this conference now and planning to eat more than usual. Well, off to the airport.
10/2: No scale (conference in Maine) / I ate over calories by a lot yesterday+today and did not and could not log everything...from lobster with butter to fries to specialty donuts and all the random munchies in between, along with alcohol. I throughly enjoyed myself but I'm terrified of the repercussions.
10/3: Too scared to weigh myself / It was hard to get back into the groove today. I didn't have snacks prepped. I felt peckish all day and munched on gourmet popcorn and random snacks. I stayed within calories, just barely, with little nutritional value and didn't go to the gym today. It was hard. I hope tomorrow will be a better day. I will weigh myself tomorrow.
10/4: 155.8 /Sigh, very disappointing. Was over calories but not by much. Getting back into the groove has been difficult (writing this on 10/5)
10/5: 155.2 /I just wish I was back in the 154s. Fasted until 2pm today because of physical/fasting blood glucose test. Actually came in at 155.8 in the morning but 155.2 (with dress on) at the doctor's office. I've decided to log the lower weight here while acknowledging my home scale weight. Under calories right now because of the fasting. Walked 10,000+ steps and biked 3 miles home from the doctor's. Also got some awesome size 10 American Eagle jeans and a size 8 pair to work towards!
10/6: 153.8 /Not going to get excited yet! If I can stay under 154 by 10/9, I'll be ecstatic! Ate within calories (though estimated sweet potato fries, so who knows). Had two whiskey diet cokes. Hoping to stay on track for this long weekend! *Fingers crossed*
10/7: 152.4 /I can't even believe it! Let's see where I end on 10/9. Have about 400 calories left for today. Hopefully I don't go over. I'm going to a sushi lunch with friends tomorrow. Fingers crossed that I eat right. Did some cleaning. Might go for a walk today as I haven't moved around much except for cleaning.

10/2: 159.2 Normal fluctuation. Only 8 days in the 159s and already itching for 158s. I'm so greedy!
10/3: 159.2
10/4: 159.8 Dear 159s, I'm sorry I talked about ditching you for a smaller number. I understand that you're upset. Whatever you do, please don't bring 160s around again. Thank you! Love, Me.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
10/6: 161.4 Hoping this number is more stable now! Good day yesterday. I think my immune system is doing its job as I feel better today. Going out to eat tonight with no plan to go over; I will make it work!
10/7: 161.8 Sodium and sluggish digestive system. Headed to in laws this weekend. It's going to be hard to control what's around me. No weigh in but will check back in for the next round! Planning on trying to work in a walk/run tomorrow!

Fine on calories, no added sugar, did some walking. I'm trying to talk myself into a short jog still tonight. Tried quinoa pizza crust for the first time, I'll definitely have it regularly. It's easier to make and less messy than traditional flour or cauliflower crust (which I only tried once but it was a pain to rice and drain the cauliflower).
10/1: 172.5 lbs
Good on calories, water, no added sugar but I made a small dessert with dates. Led a two-hour nature walk at work, which was fun.
10/2: 172.0
Have to be honest, I live in Las Vegas and I didn't get much sleep, spent the day pretty depressed. I wasn't directly affected, it's just too close to home. But, we went out to eat as we do every Monday so I had too many calories at one meal but stayed technically in my day's calorie goal. I also walked/jogged two miles. No added sugar.
10/3: 172.0
Just OK on food, didn't go over calories. I did have added sugar: accidentally had sweetened tea and had Szechuan sauce at dinner. Got a little exercise. Tomorrow's my Monday, will try to get a solid 8 hours.
10/4: 173.0
Had too much sodium yesterday, and probably today, too. No sugar, though. Woke up at 4:00 am for no reason, I hate that. No exercise today, I'll go to bed early and try to get it together to walk to work tomorrow.
10/5: 173.5
Fine on calories, no added sugar. Stayed away from sodium today, hope I'm down a little tomorrow. It didn't even cross my mind to walk to work this am, lol, totally forgot. I did get a nice walk in during work, though, almost 2.5 miles.
10/6: 172.0
I think I shed some of that sodium but I didn't have enough water today and TOM is any time now so I might tick up again tomorrow. The thing is, I don't have the best scale and it sometimes gives me several different results when I step on/off a few times in a row. So I'm in the 172-173 range. Let's see, got some exercise, no added sugar today, calories in range.
10/7: 171.5
Not feeling like exercising today, so I didn't. OK on calories and water, no added sugar. Feeling bloated. Made a no-bake, no sugar cheesecake I can't eat til tomorrow because it's supposed to set for 24 hrs. Would like to eat it now.

Round 19 is set up and posted in <Challenges> It starts on Tuesday 10 October. I hope you will join us there for another 10 days.
@clynnwoodard @quiltingjaine I'm holding my breath right now. I have just hit my lowest weight so far.
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 RoundsMany 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!SW: 227; Lowest weight 18 Aug 2017: 159.2; Final goal weight: 147
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.
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!
