    All right! Here we go for another round! Will it be good? Will it be bad? Wo o o o! Only the shadow knows for sure!

    10/11: 217
    Got a call yesterday to come in for the second part of my sleep study! Made sure to ask for a scale this morning before taking a shower; weighed 217. Been riding most of the day; but I resisted stopping for fast food! Hope this number sticks around this time! If I say "pretty please" will you stay?

    10/12: 219
    Well, it is evident that saying 'pretty please' did not work . That Turkey chili I made was low on calories and fat but high on sodium! Watching sodium intake is crucial to weight loss for me! Will do better today; already pre planned my meals for today! Now, I just need to drink enough water to flush away all this salt!

    10/13: 217.8
    Drank lots of water yesterday; was way under on sodium! Had all my meals planned for today then my granddaughter invited me to lunch! Oh well, the best laid plans of mice and men so often go astray!

    10/14: 217.9
    I like this number! Went to lunch yesterday with 2 of my granddaughters and my daughter at Golden Corral. Loaded up on vegetables and baked fish! Couldn't resist the desserts though! Had very small piece of Carrot cake and bread pudding! Didn't get in hardly any water, but only ate 3 waffle cookies (69 cal.) for the rest of the day! Today is my great grandson's birthday, so I expect I won't have the good choices I had yesterday!

    10/15: 220.2
    Too much sodium not enough water! :#

    10/16: 218.1
    Surprise! Made homemade mac n cheese yesterday, and ate too much! Did get in a little more water. Had a doctor appt. this morning, and my water is always slack when I'm away from home. Alarm didn't go off this morning, so I missed my exercise! May work something in tomorrow!

    10/17: 219.8
    Kept hoping this would go down, but it didn't; could it be the 2 pieces of birthday cake I ate :o or the water I didn't drink enough of :# ? But for the good news, I did get my exercise in today to make up for missing yesterday o:) !

    10/18: 219.6
    Got my exercise in today! Drinking my water! Eating wisely! Ok, weight, throw your best at me, but you will find there ain't no give up in this lady!! :D:D

    10/19: 219.1 :'(:'(:'(:(:'(
    Well, there's a first time for everything! This is the first time I've ended a round higher than I started it! And I hope it's the last time!!!!!

    Starting weight, January 1: 217.0

    1st goal weight: 175

    5'11"

    Round 19
    Day/Weight/Comment
    10/10 --- 192.4 (I was down to 191, but gained a little over the past 2 weeks)
    10/11 ---- 191.2 I am trying to follow the South Beach Diet to get myself motivated again, but I can't do completely without carbs. Even though I am on Phase 1, and suppose to just keep away from carbs for 1 week, I am more just using this as a guideline as to what to eat (2 cups veggies lunch and dinner and protein, and 1/2 c veggies and protein at breakfast). We did have popcorn last nite, but I was OK with that. I am now back to where I was on Oct 1st!
    10/12 --- 189.6. I am FINALLY in the 80s!!!! Yesterday my day I did not eat what I had planned, but I am practicing "mindful"eating, and being aware of what I eat. And I think the main thing is the water -- trying to drink more water.
    10/13 - 191. Hate to see it go back up! But, last nite I ate 2 large bowls of popcorn, after a stressful evening. Didn't weight this morning until after my workout, and I drank 2 large glasses of gatorade, so I am hoping that is part of the weight increase as well. But .... I am not going to get discouraged.
    10/14 - 190.2. Not the best day of eating, health wise - chicken tenders and a smoothie from mcdonalds. But calorie-wise, I did better.
    10/15 - 191.2 OH NO!! But ..... I didn't weigh myself until after I went to the gym, and I had drank 2 large bottles of water. I also didn't drink much water yesterday, and some tomato juice in the evening... so hoping this is water weight
    10/16 - 189.8
    10/17 - 189.6
    10/18 -189.8 - but this was after the gym, and after I drank 1 bottle of water. So glad to still be in the 80s!
    10/19 - 188.8 -- YAH!!! Hoping to stay in the 80s


    Will there be another round starting??/ I love this idea and thread!

    SW: 77kg (169,7lbs)
    CW: 65,7kg (144,8lbs) (10/09)
    UGW: 56kg (123,4lbs)

    Goals: Downward trend, average weight of 64,7kg or less; exercise every weekday (= more than 20 active minutes); drink 1L of water every day

    Day || Weight || Comment
    10/10 || 64,3kg (141,7lbs) || Already 1,4kg (3lbs) 'lost' aka I guess my binge-eating from Sunday has gone down haha. I know I'm going to be eating bad today however (I'm having my cheat meal today) so it'll probably show on the scale tomorrow or the day after sadly! | 1L of water✓ | 92 active minutes✓
    10/11 || 64,4kg (141,9lbs) || Not too bad for the day after my cheat meal! I felt hungry throughout the day sometimes though, so maybe I should eat a bit more | 1L of water✓ | 60 active minutes✓
    10/12 || 64,3kg (141,7lbs) || I guess it’s better than going up? | 1L of water✓ | 41 active minutes✓
    10/13 || 63,9kg (140,8lbs) || Yay I needed this kind of motivation! Friday the 13th isn’t always unlucky haha. I ate more throughout the day yesterday but kept within my calories. I also had some sweet things, but all in moderation! Guess that’s the way to go~ | 1L of water✓ | 70 active minutes✓
    10/14 || 63,3kg (139,5lbs) [/b]|| Well, while I am super happy to see that number I doubt it’ll last… I binge-ate yesterday. I stayed within my calories, but I ate a cereal, muesli cookies and a mini magnum (total of 450kcal) that my body did not NEED at that moment, considering I was quite bloated afterwards. Disappointed in myself. I am proud of myself though that I did some ‘exercise’ even though it wasn’t part of my goals and it was only walking. | 1L of water✓ | 55 active minutes✓
    10/15 || 64,1kg (141,3lbs) || Crazy how much a night out (and again some binging) can show on the scale! (that and yesterday’s number was a lie that my scale told me haha). I’m going to pick up some books about binge-eating. I know it’s not magically going to go away with reading a book, but maybe I’ll learn some coping systems or so. I also drank a bit more water today! Hopefully I won’t end up binging again tonight… | 1L of water✓ | 24 active minutes✓
    10/16 || 63,1kg (139,1lbs) || I think both me and my scale are confused haha. I mean, it’s normal to have fluctuations, but I usually don’t get 1 kg fluctuations. You won’t hear me complain though, I prefer this number over yesterdays! So I didn’t end up binging last night and drank a bit more water so I guess there’s what that comes from. I might start a “haven’t binged in … days” like @wannabesmaller2017, it might motivate me and keep track of things. I also went to the gym today and felt great! Tonight I will be having my cheat meal, so I think it might show on tomorrows number, but we’ll see! | 1L of water✓ | 98 active minutes✓
    10/17 || 63,3kg (139,5lbs) [/b]|| Not too bad! I’m posting this right before going to bed. Didn’t have a good day (very bad actually) so I did indulge a bit, but nothing too bad. Still think it will show tomorrow on the scale though! Hopefully I’ll see the 62s once by the end of the challenge, but that might a bit too much to wish for | 1L of water✓ | 42 active minutes✓
    10/18 || 63,3kg (139,5lbs) || Had an absolute terrible day, which showed in my eating habits (went to Mcdonalds, barely drank any water, didn’t work out) siiiigh, sad to probably end the challenge in a high number tomorrow | 1L of water× | 0 active minutes×
    10/19 || 63,5kg (139,9) | ended up binging tonight, but I’m not going to beat myself up about it :) Also TOM has started, so there’s that | 1L of water✓ | 27 active minutes✓

    END OVERVIEW

    Back for my 6th round.
    BW - 221.8
    R14 - 218.8
    R15 - 216.2
    R16 - 218.2 - vacation
    R17 - who knows what happened here.
    R18 - 219.4

    R19 goal - 216.2 - lofty goal but it would get me back to R15 (pre-vacation) weight.

    10/10 - had to be to work 2 hours early and it was all I could do to drag my sorry rear out of bed and get there in time!
    10/11 - 220.4 - serves me right. I got to the end of the day and saw I had 400 calories left - so had a smallish margarita. Alcohol and losing weight do NOT go hand in hand. Plus I didn't get my morning walk in either of these mornings. My husband says I get "twitchy" if I go too many days w/o working up a sweat, and he's right! I'm feeling pretty on edge right now.
    10/12 - 218.2 - SWEET!
    10/13 - 219.4 - up down up down up down
    10/14 - 218.4
    10/15 - 219.4 - had an epiphany this morning. I haven't had those long (4 - 6 hr) bike rides on the weekend, plus 40 miles or so during the week so apparently that was burning a lot of calories and helping bring my weight down. Without the biking, I'm going to have to be more vigilant about what I'm eating.
    10/16 ---
    10/17 - 220.4 - what? How is that possible? Yesterday - walked 4 miles, biked 25. Stayed under calories. And I'm UP 1 pound?
    10/18 - 220.6 - seriously...and yesterday I was under calories AGAIN.
    10/19 - 219.4 - better - but I wanted to be back to 216 this round so I'm still rather frustrated.

    @SheilaBoneham - thanks for the words of encouragement. I tell myself to drink more water - but easier said than done. I know I don't get enough.

    Seventh round with this glorious group of supportive peeps!

    Been doing amazingly well.  Taking note of daily fluctuations and watching the 10-day averages consistently decrease has really helped!  (Decreases I might have otherwise missed by weighing weekly or irregularly.)

    My recommendations for newbies:  Keep your focus on the average over the 10 days.  Don't let the daily fluctuations get you down.  Instead, notice that everyone's weights go up and down and it can take a few days to see the results of good/bad behavior.  Stay the course, gain from other's experiences, and ask for support when you need it!

    WE CAN DO THIS!!!

    10/10:  157.8  I say, if it's going to fluctuate, fluctuate downward please!  :)

    10/11:  156.8  Wooosh!  Hope it sticks around for my Friday team challenge weigh-ins!!

    10/12:  157.2  Boing!  Still less than last round's low, so I'll take it.  :smile:

    10/13:  156.8  Yay!

    10/14:  157.2  Boing!  TOM is coming so probably won't make the round goal weight.  Forgot to take that into consideration (again! ).  A pound less than this will do.

    10/15:  157.0  C'mon 156s!

    10/16:  155.6  Woosh!  Probably won't stick, but nice to see.  :)

    10/17:  156.4  Told ya so!  ;)  Staying here til the end of the round would be just fine.

    10/18:  156.4  Thank you, body!

    10/19:  154.6  Zoinks!  and Gooooaaalllll! 

    Round 19: SW 158.0, EW 154.6 (-3.4 lb),
    LW 154.6, HW 158.0, AVG 156.6

    Wow!  My body has been extremely cooperative.  The most I've lost during a round.  Lowered my calories by about 150 a day this month, which seems to be my sweet spot.

    On to Round 20!

    I believe in my ability to MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES, to LOSE WEIGHT, and KEEP IT OFF!

    Round 16 SW: 175
    Round 17 SW: 173.5
    Round 18 SW: 173
    Round 19 SW: 170.5

    10/10: 170.5
    Feeling good, like the changes I've made are sustainable, but I'm nearing my typical low. I've been here probably 5 times (more?) in the last 25 years without ever getting to my goal weight, then gaining back. At this size, I'm still definitely overweight but I'm starting to like how I look and that can cause me to get overconfident and stop worrying about it. I've really got to keep my mindset going. I like the healthy food I'm eating, I'm not deprived, I like being active, I can keep doing this. Anyway, it's early but I'm on track for no added sugar today, good on water and calories, took a nice walk.
    10/11 170.5
    Three days in a row, this number still makes me happy. Good on water, calories, a little exercise, no added sugar. Looking back at my diary, I haven't gone over 1510 calories in 30 days.
    10/12: 169.5 squeee! (What'll happen tomorrow? Oh, the suspense.)
    When I got home my BF left me a big serving of pasta. He makes the sauce, doesn't put sugar or salt in it but he glugs in the olive oil with abandon, bless his Italian mama. I added veggies but should have eaten a bit less. I'm under calories for the day, not enough protein, lots of carbs and fat. Fine on water, no added sugar, just light walking for exercise today.
    10/13: 169.0
    Walked a bit, fine on water, fine on calories, almost no veggies today, no added sugar.
    10/14: 169.0
    Fine on calories, but high in sodium (phooey, might see a bump tomorrow). Lots of veggies. OK on water. Some exercise. No added sugar. Had to be up extra early today and again tomorrow. Today we had a park cleanup, tomorrow I'm leading an early nature walk. I'm looking forward to it but I should go to sleep soon.
    10/15: 170.0
    Worked a very long day (11hrs) but I started with a birding walk at dawn so it was a nice day overall, especially considering tomorrow's my day off. Hardly drank any water til early evening, I'm trying to finish another 500ml. Not on purpose, but was not in my routine today and ate very low in calories. No added sugar, in spite of lots of opportunity for it.
    10/16: 168.5
    No exercise today. It's my day off and except for an errand and going out to eat I didn't move. I didn't hate it. Fine on calories but too much sodium. Good on water, no added sugar.
    10/17: 168.0
    I did everything I was supposed to do today except get enough protein. Oh, and not enough sleep last night. Good on calories, water, exercise, even servings of vegetables. No added sugar. I made a faux lasagna that will be dinner the next several days so I'm ready to start my work week tomorrow.
    10/18: 167.5
    I'm trying to get a lot more water before it gets too late. Woke up early for no reason, I've had a sleep deficit for a couple of weeks now. Walked two miles (to/from work), good on calories, veggies, protein. No added sugar.

    10/19: 167.5
    I was going to post that I had a nearly perfect day, diet and exercise wise, but then I realized I forgot my multivitamin today. It's always something. But - 3 lbs down for these 10 days, that's positive. :) Good on water, calories, protein, veggies today. No added sugar in spite of receiving chocolates in the mail from a friend yesterday. (She means well, but gahhh.)

    (Pregnant & gaining max 1lb/week)
    Round 19 starting weight 158.9
    09/10- Happy Canadian thanksgiving weekend! Two main meals today, went a little under hydrated. Had a long dog walk, but it made me miss yoga.
    ‪10/10- 162.4‬. Under calories, trying to hit higher but I am nutritionally balanced.
    ‪11/10- 158.5‬ worked through lunch but ate a little. Work survey and a huge dog walk. Under protein macro. Still thirsty.
    12/10-156. Hit good macros & all vitamins but when it all added up I was under calories again.
    13/10-...
    14/10-158.9. Pulled two 15 hour days this weekend, went to camp but had mostly salad bar, big meals but as nutritiously dense as camp is capable of. Forgot my vitamins, sigh.
    15/10-158.7. Gas station dinner on the road. Potatoe calories count for something, right?
    16/10- 157.7. Got into the pjs too early and wasn't prepared for the rotten veg in the fridge. Failed to be motivated for a groceries run in the rain. Hit the iron goal, thanks to vitamins but not even close to enough calories.
    17/10-? Away from home again. Big meals, almost made my calorie goal. Didn't even exercise today.
    18/10-? In camp again.
    19/10: 156.2 (naked, lol, and before dinner today. May need to round up

    Last day R18: 227.4lbs
    Total WL so far: 0.2lbs

    On to Round 19!

    First WG: 170lbs
    Final WG: 135lbs

    CW: 226.0lbs

    Day/Weight/Comment
    10/10: 226.0lbs
    -> -> Went out for some air regardless of it being a klutzy bad day. Didn't over eat, nor eat my emotions away.
    10/11: 226.4lbs
    -> -> Forgot to weigh myself this morning, did so after eating breakfast, so not my actual weight. Didn't over eat, pretty sure I under ate, didn't have much energy today.
    10/12: 224.6lbs
    -> -> another day of under eating, maybe I caught something.. have no hunger, feeling queasy.
    10/13: 226.2lbs
    -> -> busy day today, running around town, made sure to eat. Bloated & swollen, in pain but moved around a lot anyways.
    10/14: 226.4lbs
    -> -> sick and bed ridden. Been drinking lots of fluids.
    10/15: 224.2lbs
    -> -> feverish, just drank lots of fluids
    10/16: 224.6lbs
    -> -> since I'm awake now, I'll post. Don’t think I'll be doing much as exercise today, been hit pretty bad with this bug, stuck in bed, guzzling fluids though!
    10/17: 223.2lbs
    -> -> was able to eat, so that's always good. No exercise today, still feeling off. But! I've made plans for tomorrow to get me out of the house! I will still try to exercise a bit today even if they're just stretches.
    10/18: 225.0lbs forgot to weigh myself this morning, so not an accurate weight. Walked today, ate out but ate healthy and didn't log anything in. Getting air made me feel better so will make it a priorityto go out tomorrow too!
    10/19: 224.8lbs
    -> -> Not much eating today, had fever, but I managed to go for a walk in the evening.

    Lost 1.2lbs, it's been a rough 10 days.

    10/10 177 (after a workout but I'll take it!!)
    10/11 177.5 It's been cool out the last two days here and my winter clothes still fit from last year, but are much looser and comfortable. :-) I don't feel like a stuffed sausage in them. I'm probably about 10-12lbs less than last fall.
    10/12 179.0 Too much candy from the parade yesterday plus a hot dog (and more candy) for dinner.
    10/13 178.0

    10/10: 185.0 -going to lose 3lbs!

    10/11: 183.8 - a whoosh! Or dehydrated? Very thirsty today so won't get too excited about this number. Would be good to have it there at the end of the round, though.

    10/12: 185.0 - as expected. Going to do extra exercise today.

    10/13: 186.2 - so I did the extra exercise, 15000 steps and I was under 1500 calories! I'm guessing too much sodium, I hope. (stir-fry with too much soy sauce). Need to drink lots of water today!

    10/14: 184 - another good day yesterday. 20,000 steps

    10/15: 183.4 - :smiley:
    10/16: 184.6 - pizza. That's all I'm saying.
    10/17: 185.8 - Nooooo! I was good yesterday and did 12000 steps. Really hoping it's water.
    10/18: 184 - yesss!
    10/19: 184.8 -

    Mini-goal for this challenge: 182 - didn't make it but it's been a real eye-opener doing this challenge. I've learned a lot and looking forward to the next one!

    I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

    pretty-pink-welcome-smiley-emoticon.gif 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!

    R16 SW- 155.98
    R17 SW- 154.66
    R18 SW- 153.12

    Current weight- 152.68
    10 Day Goal: I would love to get to 150.XX It might be a bit much, but I will work hard to get there. I would also like to continue increasing my exercise. I'm hoping to average a mile a day.
    Day/Weight/Comment
    10/10- 152.68 Seeing this number again today is depressing. My 7 day chart is an upward trend and honestly there is no reason. I weigh and chart everything I eat and am always under calories. Just sucks. Got a mile in yesterday and am hoping to get another in today.
    10/11- 152.24 I've been in bed most of the day. Think we are on round 2 of being sick. DS already started last night with a horrible hacking cough and I'm exhausted and achy. We almost had takeout for dinner, but I sucked it up and made dinner instead. :) Day 2 of no exercise. Determined tomorrow to get at least a mile in.
    10/12- 151.8 Woke up feeling awful today. Keeping hydrated and trying to rest between coughing fits.
    10/13-152.02 Not overly concerning myself with calories. Over by 24. Feeling horrible.
    10/14-153.34 I've been eating a lot of soup/broth, so this might be due to sodium. Not worried as it is not my normal diet. I'm in bed, running fever.
    10/15-151.58 The coughing exercise seems to have paid off. (eyeroll) Feeling a bit better today, so far no fever. Stinks I won't get my weekend hike in. Hopefully the weather will be nice this week to make up for it.
    10/16- 150.48 Nothing new to report. Still sick.
    10/17- 150.48
    10/18- 150.7 Feeling a bit better today, hopefully it lasts.
    10/19- 150.7 Catching up on charting weight now. Very pleased I made my goal despite being sick and inactive the majority of the challenge.
