SW 184 (like 2 years ago!)
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.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 - 194.0 The weekends are the hardest for me. I had wine and pizza last night. Still down today so that awesome!! Meal planning now:) Meal prep tomorrow!
10/1195.6 I didn't track my food. I had pepperoni and cheese last night. Today is meal prep day so things should be much better. I will get to the gym also.
10/2 195.8 Well...that stinks.
10/3 195.7 I ate very good all day yesterday. I didn't move around a whole lot after a fall at work. Still a little sore today:( I have severe scoliosis so falls are not a good thing at all for me.
10/4 195.0 Yay! Feeling pretty good today. Pre-logged all my food except dinner. (Not sure what I am having yet) Off to a good start.
10/5 195.6 This is not a great round for me. TOM is coming early next week...I'm tired, I'm bloated and the inflammation in my back is always worse this time of the month. Still have my meals packed for today (all healthy stuff). I just want to end this round at least where I started!

9/30 185.4 I'm so happy. I don't know if it'll last but for right now, I'm thrilled. I've been working so hard with tracking.
10/1 185.4 Staying strong.
10/2 186.4 I didn't drink a lot of water and ate out this weekend. I'm hoping for a whoosh soon.
10/3 185.6 I did better yesterday with the water. I just feel better when I drink it a lot. I'm so close to 20 lbs. gone, I can taste it!
10/4. 184.4 The good thing today: I lost 20.4! The bad thing: I threw up on the way to work today. So now I'm home with a fever and nausea. I'm hoping this is just a stomach bug.
10/5 185.2 Dang it! Hoping I would stay down in the 184s. I'm feeling better today. I didn't eat a whole lot yesterday with the stomach yuckies.

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.

10/1 158.0 Rats! Thought I had a good day! I know the night wasn't as good, but still..................
10/2 158.8
10/3 159.4 Wow! Binging the past 2 days was NOT a good thing.....
10/4 156.8 Planned my meals & did great, But ended up higher in calories, but not "binge bad".
I got sick and have to eat more food with this antibiotic... Had to eat a very late meal after being at the clinic for over 2 hrs & then having to get the RX filled. So, I was surprised to be back down. I'll take it, though!
10/5 158.2 It's okay. I was expecting a gain. I have to take medicines with meals. I hope that I don't gain too much while I'm sick...

10/1 106.9 - 1900 Calories!
10/2 106.4 - back to 1500 Calories and exercise
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.

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!

10/2 - 177.3 - Higher salt yesterday
10/3 - 177
10/4 - 176.3 Happier about this number. I think the 175.5 earlier was dehydration.
10/5 - 177 - It's interesting to watch the pattern here. Yesterday was pizza for dinner which of course means salt. I'm not surprised to see the number rise. The last couple of days I have done a lot of walking, 3-4 miles a day, so I wonder if my muscles are holding onto some water too. Time will tell! 8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 254.2 -- My new profile picture looks like Mitch McConnell. Snacked right past any deficit yesterday. Had too much salt. Sigh. Attitude adjustment needed.
10/1 255.2 -- Too much salt & “après diary” snacking. I must do further work on my head to overcome this tendency to eat late at night when no one’s watching. Who is watching anyway? This is some deep, psychological *kitten* this weight loss stuff.
10/2 254.6 -- Headed back down after the snack attack. Complete eating with supper and then don’t snack. That’s the ticket.
10/3 254.2 -- Back to where I started this challenge. Now let’s see if I can get back to the low weight of last round!
10/4 253.4 -- Did it. Back to the low weight of last round. Now let’s see how much more we can drop off before we get on the road on Saturday.
10/5 255.0 -- Self-discipline is such a fragile thing for those of us who never really practiced it. Sigh. Now I have a decision to make. Do I go back to self-control today or do I throw caution to the wind and over eat like there are no consequences. I will promise this. I will get on the scale tomorrow.

10/02 - 161.4 > 3 day weekend of camping fun... Maybe too much fun. Lots of long walks but maybe too many hot dogs and bacon. I'm pretty sure I'll be back on target again in the next few days.
10/03 - 160.2 I'm going to be a Nana today to a sweet baby girl!!
10/04 - 159.7 15,000+ steps, ate well but did have a small piece of cheesecake. SO got a call to go back to work this weekend but it may be just a few days. Haven't seen the baby yet but they are all doing well.
10/05 - 157.6. Ok back on track. 18,000+ Steps And hit calorie goals. Get to see the baby tonight so I’m trading in my step count for snuggles.

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.

@kdherbin Welcome to the group!
@cjsacto What's up with waking up at 4? I've done that twice in the last week or so. I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight.
@CaliMomTeach It's nice to see you again. Please do continue to drop in periodically!
@nikki062181 When I'm stressed I want carbs. Monday was a struggle for me but I did not buckle. I also did not have enough water. I know that is extremely important to MY weight. I love that we are discovering our own weak and strong points in these challenges. Hang in there!!
@clynnwoodard increased muscle work leads to TEMPTATION water retention. Do not despair!!
@Elbee1 A small planned snack with meds should suffice.
@suebee143 I also have a closet full of too tight clothes. I have never been comfortable in snug clothes and therefore don't like the "layered" look that seem to always surface foe winter. I really want to fit in those smaller sizes this winter! We can do this!!
@HeidiCooksSupper Throwing caution to the wind is such a slippery slope! Please do not go there!

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!
