Starting weight: 215.2 lbs

First round for me.

9/30- ?
10/1- ?
10/2 - 215.2. I expect weight to go down a couple pounds tomorrow, as I took this first weight after I ate a meal rather than in the morning like I usually do. :-) Hard day today, though - mild allergic reaction early in the day, and that always tends to make me space and flake out on my diet the rest of the day. :-/ Hoping that having this little challenge might help kickstart my brain into paying attention!

10/3 - 213.6 Allergic reaction still going on today. I'm using my recording of today's weight to remind myself not to flake on the diet like I did yesterday, and to try to keep things going well. And thoughts are with those from Puerto Rico, TX, Fl, and Las Vegas, or who have loved ones who were, or still are, there.

10/4 - 213.4 - Feeling hopeful, as this is the end of the day weight and yesterday was weighed before eating, so I feel like I’ve probably lost a bit more. I am feeling really hopeful right now about doing this. First time doing it, and today I totally screwed up on eating and calories. Still feeling crummy during much of the day, totally didn’t pay attention to calories, and when I entered them in, I was really feeling low. But thinking of this challenge, and how much I wanted to do well in it, I got up and exercised away a lot of the excess calories. Usually my motivation is not enough to do that, so I’m feeling pretty great about it.

10/5 - 212.8 - still lower, so good start to the day!

9/30 - 217.0. Starting off strong. I am going to the in-laws today for thanksgiving dinner and then it is my 1 year anniversary tomorrow and we are going out for dinner. This is also the last week of the 9 week Biggest Loser challenge so i need to finish strong.

10/1 - 218.0 up from eating a bit of cake and salty foods yesterday but i am very pleased with this number as I could easily have been 5lbs! I am heading out for a walk today with the baby and I hope to make it to the gym today! It's my 1 year anniversary but my husband is sick in bed so I'm trying to make the most of it!

10/2 - 216.4! Yahoo!! At the gym now pushing. Another thanksgiving dinner this weekend so I need to push now. 1 more week left of my biggest loser challenge and I want to contribute as much as I can to the team!

10/3 - 217.6 - expected after 3 days of sweets. No more! Looking for a babysitter to go to the gym but if not I already have plans to go for a walk and im.hoping to do 10km again! I will also do 2-3 quick home workouts at home on FitStar when baby is napping! Yesterday i went to the gym and pushed hard so I know it's just sugar weight I need to lose! Water water water today too!

10/4 - 217.0 still not back to my lowest but im ok with. Three reasons - sugar i had for 3 days, TOM starting soon and i lost 5lbs very quickly last week so it is probably balancing itself out. Hit the gym today and beat both records for distance/calories on cardio machines. Dodgeball practice and volleyball game tonight! Great day for exercise!

10/5 - 216.8 - slowly but surely. Ill slowly creep back into the 6s if it means i get to stay here! Gym done today! Healthy eating so far!

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!!!

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!).

It's easier to stay under my calorie goal than it is my sodium goal! Most anything you buy that's in a jar, can, and a lot of frozen has over 250 mg sodium per serving. That means cooking a lot of fresh foods, especailly veggies!

10/01: 218.6
I do so much better when I concentrate on sodium as well as caliries!

10/02: 219.8
Irregularity again! Don't know why the medicine will start off working fine; then, after a week or two, it stops working! I've taken Linzess and now I'm taking Amitiza! Thought I had the problem licked, but I guess not! Oh well, back to the drawing board!!

10/03: 219.6
Had check up today at doctor's office; had lost 2.4 lbs. in 2 weeks! I would like to lose 10lbs. by Thanksgiving!

10/04: 219.4
Inch by inch, step by step; it may be slow, but if I keep inching, I'll get there by and by! Off to BSF I go! Blessings everyone!

Still working on me! New medicine stopped working! Got a doctor's appointment on the 16th; maybe something good will come of it!

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: To 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!

Day/Weight/Comment

9/30 164.6 Ugh. 3lbs up from R17 end weight. Not going to get too discouraged. I have been drinking this week and eating fast food so time to cut back again on the alcohol & carbs.

10/1 166. Sigh

10/2 165.8

10/3 165. Trying not to feel discouraged. I learned one time that I should think of my weight as a "range of numbers" rather than just one number, so 165 is now at the top of the range rather than the bottom like it was 20 days ago. Focusing on tracking, drinking my water and watching my carbs!

10/4 163.8 Trending downward. Stayed within calorie goals and watched carbs yesterday. Feeling really stressed today and trying to force myself to eat but I haven't been successful so far.

10/5 162 Pretty big drop again. Glad to be moving down but also mindful of the fact that I was way under calorie goals yesterday and worked out.  Trying to make sure that I eat enough today to have more stable weight loss and not yo-yo.

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.

Before I go to bed, I just wanted to say thanks for this challenge. It has made a tremendous difference for me in a week. I'm seeing self limiting beliefs and confronting faulty thinking every day thanks to the simple act of weighing daily and being accountable.

I appreciate you all!

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!
