Not sure what weight goal I have except to NOT gain this round!:)
End of the year goal has always been 105 lbs.
10/10 107 lbs
10/11 106.5
10/12 106.2 - over Calories yesterday so seems false but wouldn't it be wonderful . . . won't it be wonderful when I land at 105 permanently.
10/13 105.8 - a little over Calories again - this is weird.
10/14 106.8 - ate horribly yesterday - too much Halloween candy, not sure what happened
10/15 107 - ate too much again, hungry all day.
10/16 107.8 - guess what . . .
10/17 108.2 - this is temporary, I'm back on track as of yesterday.

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 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 !5 -
@tishawj OH! I understand that completely! Now with just 2 of us and retired, I fix my "stinky" vegetables and DH just has to suffer.
@clynnwoodard I feel your pain! I've been at the same weight +/- 0.5 for a month. GIVE IT UP BODY!!!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 155.5
10/11 158 WTH? I have no words! Maybe what I ate for dinner was high sodium? As a side note, it's finally cooling off in Las Vegas so I will need to be mindful of water intake! No high above 88 (today) for the next 15 days.
10/12 155.5 Right on macros, over calories- 10 oz white zin because I couldn't dump it down the drain, 5 or 6 quarts of water!
10/13 155.5 AGAIN!
10/14 155 Such a busy day yesterday! We spent about 5.5 hrs at the Ren faire, took the cat for booster shot, and went to grandson's football game! 253% of my (super low) step goal and most of it with a gallon of water in my backpack! Only allowed to take 1 bottle of drinking water into the fair so a liter lasted me all day. Since I do IF & Keto, and I'm not a breakfast person, I was going to get something to eat at the fair BUT $7 for a hot dog or $12 for a turkey leg (chips, drink, etc extra!) is insane, IMHO. So I didn't eat anything until we were almost home and stopped at McDonald's. Not good food but satisfying. I had to make up the water deficit after we finally got home at 9:30pm. Today quilt guild board meeting. Need to get going!
10/15 155 (naked as always) I really want to see 154 by the 18th. At WW - official weigh in clothed 157, exactly what my scale said. Still feeling water deprived from Friday. My mouth feels shriveled.
10/16 155 No appetite, feel as if I'm catching a cold. Loading up on supplements! Finally my mouth does not feel shriveled! I have never noticed that after a low water day.
10/17 155.5. Let it go, let it go... (Can you hear the music?)4 -

Goal R19: Last round was tough (lax tracking, going over calories, less exercise, generally not giving a *kitten* -- though I did keep walking). My goal this round is to track religiously and eat and drink mindfully (slowly, tracking hunger cues, eating less restaurant and processed food). No weight goal this time because I need to focus on getting my head back in the game.
10/10: 194.2
10/11: 195.2 — sick. Horrible scratchy sore throat.
10/12: 193.8
10/13: 193.8 — still battling this cold. Didn’t do great with enormous piece of cake spouse brought home last night, but didn’t do terribly either. There’s still some left in the fridge. Goal is to ignore it today and save it for spouse after work.

10/10--222.6 Whoosh. Let's see if this will hold.
10/11--222.4 I will be weightlifting tonight for the first time in over a week, let's see what the scale says tomorrow.
10/12--222.4 Went to the gym yesterday even though I didn't want to go, but then I remembered that I had already posted that I would be weightlifting, so I went. It wasn't pretty, but I got my lifting done. Stretched yesterday.
10/13--222.8 Normal fluctuation. Stretched yesterday.
10/14--222.6 One word for today...WATER!!!
10/15--222.2 Got in my water yesterday and it definitely made a difference. Today I'm going to make sure to keep up with my water. Going out for my tennis lesson this morning and then going out for dinner later. Stretched yesterday.
10/16--223.7 Dinner last night and feeling bloated this morning. This past weekend has been a success in that even though I usually struggle to drink my water on the weekends, this weekend I easily kept myself hydrated.
10/17--223.1 There goes some of the water weight. Still feel bloated. Would love to get back into the 222's before the end of this round.

Tried another piece of p/cheesecake it was better after being chilled but still not good. Think I might just freeze it in pieces and put it in smoothies. SO almost got to come home but no off to another project. meh. Weekend goals: move this butt around somehow somewhere!!
10/14 - 155.3. Not sure how this got here, but I’ll take it. .... Time for coffee and a walk!

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

Yes! Finally, some downward momentum. Even if it lasts only few days, I'll take it.
10/12 - 150
Just one of those things.... I met my hubby 26 years ago today, so he's taking me out for lunch - he's such a romantic. :-) I'm going to eat whatever I want.
10/13 - 152
I was expecting this. Sodium, I'm sure. We went out for lunch and I had tomato parmesan soup and a big ruben, and late in the evening I was finally hungry and ate more than I usually do in the evening. Plus it was cold and rainy so I didn't get my usual 4-mile walk. Back on track today, and I thoroughly enjoyed my food yesterday!
10/14 - 149.8
Apparently those gallons of water I drank yesterday did the trick. Thurs lunch was great, and no real damage done. :-) The rain has stopped, so I can get my walks in as usual. Wishing you all a terrific weekend!
10/15 - 149.8
I'm surprised, as I indulged a bit yesterday. Maybe it will show up tomorrow, but it's fine if it doesn't!
10/16 - 149.8
Still here! I hit my calorie/macro goals and walked 85 minutes, and have the same planned for today. I guess my body likes ~150! But sooner or later, something has to give.

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?

10/10. 219.9 - gained 2.7lbs over thanksgiving weekend. Im ready to lose that fast and then 2-3 more pounds. Gym and walk today. Within calories. Good day!
10/11 - 218.4.. in the right direction. 1.2lbs to go to be back at my lowest. Gym and food prep today!
10/12 - 217.3 - 0.1 more to go until my lowest. Out for a walk. No gym today.
10/13 - 214.9!!!!! Most of this is because i had a really early dinner and went to bed early, so it will probably bounce back up, but ill enjoy seeing that 4 for now. Baseball tonight. Knees hurting from walk yesterday so no gym/walk this weekend.
10/14 - 215.8 - expected but still happy with this. I also over ate on calories with a slice of pizza, 2 90 cal chocolate treats and some crackers. Crazy cravings for sweets! Today is a new say. 2 baseball games!
10/15 - 215.6 - back in the right direction. I ate lots of snacks and crackers. Bad cravings still. Could have been worse. Having a family day at home as it is raining. I will stay on track with food!
10/16 - 216.0 - wrong way! Gotta get back down to those 4s! At the gym now and may squeeze in a walk with the baby today. Knee brace on so hopefully that prevents any pain.
10/17 - 215.0 - back on track woohoo. Made goal. Let's see how much lower i can get in 2 days!

10/10 - 305.4 Doing a Walk Away the Pounds dvd today after work. My new mantra...”I Can Do 10 Days”
10/11 - 305 Day was great until pool league. Couple drinks and an appy. Still went down though.
10/12 - 303.6 Considering it was a friends Bday yesterday I’m very happy with this number. Even though I splurged at night my day was eight on track and I saved some calories for dinner time.
10/13 - 303.2 Small victory today but a victory just the same.
10/14 - 302.8 pretty happy with his considering I ate potato skins for dinner!! Definitely helps keeping track of calories left and eating less through the day when you know you are going out!!
10/15 - 302.6 Another small victory but I’m happy the scale hasn’t moved up?
10/16 - 302.8 Up a tiny bit and I’m ok with that as long as the scale goes down tmo.
10/17 - 302.2 Yay!! Back onto the downward spiral. Hope everyone is doing great and having success.
