10/20 - 192.0 Ugh. Not the start I wanted. Oh well, bouncy bounce.
10/21 - 192.9 I'm ok. It's a pattern. But ONCE, JUST ONCE I'd like to hit a "new all time low" and not jerk back up 2-3 pounds the next couple days. SO AGGRAVATING!
10/22 - 192.5 Vow for October 2017 - I will not buy anymore Halloween candy 'for the office." It really was for the office, and it is in the candy drawer, but I will eat things I put in the drawer, where I tend not to eat other's contributions. Plus I buy things I like, almond joy, kit kat, peanut butter cups, milky way. Maybe next year I will buy skittles and jelly beans as they are not my thing.
10/23 - unknown family crisis next few days
10/24 - 191.6
10/25 - 192.0
10/26 - 190.9 The last few days have been really rough, but I think things are normalizing. Got a nice run in last night. Really helped clear the brain fog from too little sleep. Sounds counter-intuitive, how exercising harder temporarily energizes you and helps clear your mind.

Happy to be here for my 5th round. Thanks to all of you for being here, too. It helps so much to know we're not alone and to realize that all those "lost 2-5 pounds a week for umpteen weeks" ads are not the norm. More like verbal airbrushing! Half a pound lost per month is not just that much lost, but more than that not gained!
10/21 - 149.6
No surprise there. I did say I planned to lose the last 10-15 pounds slowly, right? ;-)
10/22 - 149.5
I thought I'd be down a bit more this morning. But whatever the scale says, I've lost an inch and a half from my waist since whenever it was I last measured (I have it written down somewhere) and I feel lighter, so all good. :-)
10/23 - 149.5
No surprise. I increased my calories yesterday to 1850 (from ~1700), and plan to stay between 1800-1900 for the next week to avoid slowing my metabolism. I'll be happy if my weight just stays level during that time. Then I'll cut back again for a month or so. But I'll keep checking in - keeps me aware.
10/24 - 149.5
Good, since I'm eating more for the coming week. I looked up my stats from my pre-metabolism reset dieting and found it took me 5 months to get from 150 to 143, my lowest in decades. So no surprise that these 10-15 pounds are slow going. A bit reassuring!
10/25 - 149.5
10/26 - 149.2
Goody! Must be the walking this week, and possibly the few extra calories, oddly enough. I'll take it!

Hi Everyone!! Back again for your wonderful support and accountability. This group has kept me on track for the last 6 months and I couldn't have come this far without it!!
For the newbies....here is what my daily weigh ins look like over the last 180 days. It's not all down....fluctuations are NORMAL!!! Trust the process and the weight will come off!!!
12w5yhxxsudq.png
SW - 182.4 in March
GW - 145 - SMASHED this last round!!!
I will be continuing to check in here to keep myself accountable as I figure out eating at maintenance. I don't plan on decreasing my activity so it's all going to come down to calories at this point. I have some fitness/activity goals I want to achieve so weighing daily will continue to help me monitor where I am so I can make adjustments as necessary before things get out of hand.
10/19 - 144.2 - coming in from round 19
10/20 - 144.6 - normal fluctuation....had a small piece of cake at a baby shower at one of my client's yesterday and a glass of wine last night...kept calories where they should be at this point I think.
10/21 - 144.0 - Thought I ate enough yesterday...but went for a run in the woods with the dog and spent 8 hours getting the gardens ready for the winter and cleaning the house so I guess I underestimated a bit. I'll use it as a cushion for dinner out tonight
10/22 - 144.8 - went out for dinner last night and didn't get a lot of water in me so I'm happy to keep this under 145...we'll see what tomorrow brings, we have my son's hockey team over for a BBQ this afternoon so lots of treats available....
10/23 - 145.4 - Bleh...ate too much crap yesterday, upset stomach today...
10/24 - 145.6 - double bleh...feeling bloated and and I can't seem to stop shoving food in my pie hole...TOM expected today or tomorrow, at least it will be temporary.
10/25 - 145.8 - Still waiting for TOM and gave in to some salty cravings yesterday. Honestly I'm not the least bit upset with being up a bit. If my hormone gains put me in the 145's instead of the 185's I really can't be.
10/26 - 145.4 - still hangin in the 145's...I'm cool with that

Jan 1 2017 SW: 226... I'm 5'6"
Started R6 @ 177.1
First Goal: 170 ✔️
Next Goal: 159 ✔️
Next Goal: Hit a healthy BMI 154.4'ish
End of R19 156.2
69.2 Pounds lost @ 156.2
10/20 -156.5 *Wow not bad for dinner at Mom's and a lack of walking (less than 8000 steps
) Ate extra dessert too. Back at it today and a big push this weekend for hitting tons of steps. Happy weekend everyone!!
10/21 ~ 156.8. Almost hit steps but did go swimming with grandson, so? Was super hungry after swimming and had too many treats that’s were hanging around the kitchen/fridge. SO is on his way home, new plan is to stay somewhat stable. So hard as we will be visiting and having dinners with everyone etc. Rain rain rain must try and get those steps in. Maybe find some mud boots and gear and hit up a corn maze. Hmmmm hope everyone likes my plan with secret step goal built in. Have a great Saturday!
10/22 - 158.7. Too much sitting, chatting and sodium. Plus over calories. See what happens Monday morning as the weather is still horrible. I need to go outside!!
10/23 - 160.1 Oh dear.
10/24 - 160.0 Just a few more days of SO being home. It's always such a busy time with the unknown about to happen as everyone wants to see him and we have to travel for visits. Too much sitting and I've been into the chocolate and pre plans of my meals have been tossed aside. I know I'll be fine and that is my biggest lesson I have figured out!! Those double 5's are just a bit farther away. Also if I can manage myself through Christmas I've come a long long way.
10/25 - 160.2 300 Days of MFP!! Had Chinese food last night and maybe some chocolate too. SO has left again for work (Just 4 days home
) But I can get back on track and give away the tempting chocolate. May be a lazy day today again as I had to get up early and take him to the airport. Need to get back to planning and prepping. No brought from home lunch today either.... Ugggg
10/26 - 161.5 ... Ok, I've got my stuff together now. My biggest lesson learned is to dust myself off and get back up, because really I haven't fallen too far. It's a lot of water weight and I'll be back close to my double 5's in no time!!

10/20 168.6 lb midday after workout. No real struggles yet today. Those will come later today when hanging out with friends. But I didn't eat the candy at work so there's a plus!
10/21 167.8 lb noonish after workout. Good but most of my weigh-ins will be after eating lunch, Which I haven't yet. So I'm expecting a rise come Monday. But I wasnt tempted by bad food last night. Just one drink of gin, which filled out my calories for the day yesterday. Going good!
10/22 169.8 lb night 7:30 - after workout that was the increase that I thought was going to happen. But I had fries last night for dinner as well so I expected a high number. Also and lunch and dinner. It also went up a pound after my workout so who knows.
10/23 168.2 lb night 7:15 - after workout. Interesting that it went down that much. We'll see if it balances it's self tomorrow. No temptations today, so it was quite easy to stay on track. I've been trying to break a plateau of about 168/169 for a week and a half now so I'm hopeful!
10/24 168.4 lb night 7:00 - after workout. Pretty good seeming as yesterday was a big drop. I ignored the candy at work today!
10/25 167.4 lb night 7:15 - after workout. That's a pretty good drop. Probably a little to much if it stays. All about healthy loss not fast loss. May need to recalculate calorie in for my new workout regimen. But my plateau might be breaking!!!!
10/26 166.4 lb night 7:00 - after workout. Another large drop. Again monitoring for calorie recalculation. I couldn't ignore the candy today.
I had a mini box of nerds and ate it over a period of an hour to make it last so I wouldn't grab another piece.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20- 150.48 It was a quiet day today. Came in under calories. Tomorrow I have another university visit with my son, so I will get some exercise.
10/21- Woke up early and forgot to weigh. Went to a university open day with my son. Did lots of walking. We ate dinner out, but I think I probably came in under calories.
10/22- no scale Realized this week is going to be difficult. We have another open day on Wednesday. Dinner was out again tonight. Should be under calories, but this is a total guess. Nervous to weigh tomorrow morning.
10/23- 150.7 Hurray! Hope I can continue to stay on track.
10/24- no scale Unsure if I made it within calories. Think I was probably over.
10/25- no scale Lots of walking today, but also had fast food. Tomorrow will be interesting when I'm able to weigh myself again.
10/26- 150.7 So thankful I am holding steady at this weight. Although I would love to drop some weight, I would be just as happy to maintain this round.

10/22: 155.0 I have a feeling steak and seafood dinner tonight is not going to move the scale downward tomorrow!
10/23: 155.6 Help! I got attacked by a restaurant sodium bomb!! Pretty pleased with my choices, though. Had shrimp and grilled asparagus instead of prime rib and mashed potatoes, a sliver of steak, and three glasses of water to my one glass of wine. Split a 1,600 calorie cheesecake four ways. About 350 cal over goal. Not too shabby.
10/24: 156.2 This too shall pass. Had wayyyy too many carbs yesterday, so not unexpected. Must admit I'm a little disappointed to see 156s again. :whine:
10/25: 156.6 Oh no.
10/26: 156.8 Did not want to post today. However, I have to own this and my crap choices this week. Every year around this time for the last five years I have quit logging and started gaining. I seem to get a glimpse of the 154s then give up soon after. Do I want to be a victim or be victorious? Tomorrow is a new day with new opportunities to make good decisions. I hope I choose victory.

10/20 133.5 - stayed on track yesterday. Gotta stay the course
10/21 132.5 - not what I expected... DD came home from college yesterday, so made a nice lasagna dinner with apple cake for dessert... and I ate over my calorie count. Probably won’t hold, but that’s why I’m doing this
10/22 132.5 - I’m finding this group activity motivating! Knowing I was going to report my weight today kept the late night munching away
10/23 134 - what the...? probably the yummy pho I ate for lunch had high sodium - I stayed close on my calorie goal and even did some running.
10/24 134 - hmmm
10/25 133 - finally! Sticking with the program is paying off!

10/20: 149.0/Finally met my fluid intake goal! Ate under calories but did not meet activity goal.
10/21: 148.2
/ I can't believe there was another big drop so soon. I met my fluid goal again. I also walked over 16,000 steps and biked for over 30 minutes. Stayed under calories and actually met my protein goal! Good day. Having sushi tomorrow, yum!
10/22: 148.8/It was too good to be true! Oh well, I'll keep chugging along. Ate under calories today by my estimate...had a slice of chocolate, hazelnut and marshmallow pizza from Max Brenner, so had to estimate. Walked 14,000+ steps and biked 45+ minutes and met my fluid goal. Now let's see if I can keep it up during the work days!
10/23: 149.8/And now I've gone above where I ended the last round, urgh! Well, I guess I'll keep chugging along. Didn't meet my activity goal today. Only got in 7000+ steps as the usually with my commute and a busy day. Stayed late at work today and ate the provided food. Stayed under calories and met my fluids goal. Here's hoping for a better tomorrow, scale wise!
10/24: 148.2/Ok, back to day 2 of this round. Hopefully it's downward from here, but I feel bloated and gassy (TMI?), so probably not. Ate under calories today, got my fluid in and walked 15,000+ steps! So, doing well in terms of the right actions.
10/25: 147.6/Turns out it's TOM causing the bloated and gassy feeling. Surprised at the drop because I still feel crappy. Stayed within calories, got my fluids in and walked 12,000+ steps. I need to get to some actual working out at some point!
10/26: 147.6/I'm cool with seeing the same number today. Hoping for a drop tomorrow! Under calories but did not meet my activity or fluid goals.

Well, this is the start of round 7 for me, and I can't wait! I plan to step up my exercise, and set myself some daily guidelines for the next 10 days. If it works out, I may keep them or tweek them until they do work!
1.no sodas
2.no bread
3.no eating out
4.drink at least 12 glasses water daily
5.eat protein every meal
6.reduce sodium intake
7.get more sleep
I've lost an average of 1.5 lbs. per round over the last 6 rounds! I'm going to see if these guidelines will make a difference in that average!

God is so good; I haven't seen this number in many moons! Hope it sticks around. It seems like every Saturday, when I do my weekly weigh in for F2F, I go up, so my weigh in for the week is more than it was the last Saturday! Hope I break that pattern this week!

Over did my sodium yesterday. Went to bed late, and got up early to exercise. Was so tired and sleepy all day that I lay down after work, and it was after 6 when I woke! Since I didn't meal prep, I heated up some leftover soup, and it had waaaay too much sodium! I need to start meal prepping!
Thank God His mercies are new every morning!
10/25: 217.6
Broke guideline number 4; forgot my bible study group was having a fellowship lunch today. Went to a Bakery Café. I was doing good; I ordered a rotisserie chicken salad that came on lettuce, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, and boiled eggs. That's when the bird flew over the Coocoo's nest; they had samples of wedding cookies! I tasted a piece and it was all over except the weeping! I couldn't stop myself-I bought a dozen, and ate all of them on the way home! I thank God for the cookies: they were so good, and I thank Him that His mercies are new every morning!

Had another fellowship small group dinner tonight at a Mexican restaurant. I tried to make a good choice with a grilled shrimp and chicken salad. No dessert. Was under on sodium and calories. Got in my 12 c. water. I've got 3 more days in this round, and Sunday is the 5th Sunday, so we will be having breakfast at church!

Need more water today, stayed up too late last night. Good on calories, veggies, OK on protein. Got a little exercise. No added sugar. I'm on a whoosh, I think interval running is giving me a larger calorie deficit than I'm accounting for. We'll see if it keeps up.
10/21: 167.0
Spoke too soon! This bump doesn't bother me, I am still 2 lbs down for the last week. Today was good, I found an excuse to get outside and walk during my work day, then went for a short run this evening. Good on water, calories, etc. No sugar today. I even turned down pizza.
10/22: 167.5
Hm, still went up and I was practically perfect Friday and Saturday. Imma be way up tomorrow, I went out to dinner and had all the butter in the world, went over my calories for the first time in ages, like halfway into tomorrow's calories. No dessert or cocktail, at least. Didn't have sugar today but I found a roll of breath mints (with sorbitol) in my desk and ate several, I always munched stuff like that like candy so I stopped buying them.
10/23: 168.5 Yeah.
For what it's worth, today was mostly on track. Though if yesterday was "B" for butter, today might have been "C" for cheese. Under calories, though. No sugar.
10/24: 169.0
Honestly, I almost skipped this thread today because this is discouraging. But, I know I didn't eat 7,000 extra calories in the last few days, I have to just keep going. Ate very light today, lots of water. No added sugar.
10/25: 167.5
Okay, a bit better. I drank 4L/1gal of water yesterday to rid my body of evil spirits and it helped. Today I did terrible with water, forgot my bottle at home and didn't drink any fluids from 9a-6p. Fine on calories, no added sugar, got some exercise tonight after dinner.
10/26: 168.5
Good on calories, protein, water, exercise today.

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
Here I am back to try once more to shift my last few pounds. stay under 160lbs.
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!
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!

23/10/2017: 159.3 Goals ✅ I can live with that. It will drop soon! 159! You're going down!
24/10/2017: 159.2 Goals ✅ Food for thought. It occurs to me that this may be my maintenance weight. I have hovered around 159 for weeks, despite keeping to my calorie goal, (10% below my TDEE), and doing loads of exercise, (and eating back minimal exercise calories). I am in the normal range for my age height and build, so I am wondering if I am being realistic in my Target Goal Weight. I'm fitter and healthier than I have been for decades. I think fit and healthy should be my new focus rather than weight loss!
New Primary Goal - stay under 160lbs.

19/10 - 194.6 - R 19 was better than round 18 but I am still chasing my lowest weight to date( 193.2 lbs) it would be nice to see that number appearing this round. I am still eating lower calories due to sciatica pain limiting my movement, but I am also managing to exercise more now that I was in the previous rounds.
20/10 - 194.8 - a great start, I was scared this was going to jump up to 197 again! .. oh for a round I don't see that number or above!
21/10 - 195.2 - still happy with this, had a drink last night so my cals were higher but still within budget, still drinking my water mon-Fri - I will be happy this round if I do not see 197 or above!! and ecstatic if I don't see 196 or above
22/10 - 195.4 - still happy here .. but seriously hoping it doesn't keep ticking up by 0.2 lbs a day :-/
23/10 - 194.4 - drinking water and still under calories
24/10 - 194.2 - now I am perfectly happy with it ticking down 0.2 a day

171.6 is my start weight this Round. I did weigh 202. I have stalled out. I'm not frustrated yet, but I'm sure the day will come when I am. I've reached a smaller, attainable goal that my doctor set of a 20 pound loss, but I decided to keep pushing myself until I reach my ideal weight. I've lost 31 lbs so far. I want to lose 80, but I don't have any particular goal this Round. It would be nice to see 169 point something though. I CAN AND WILL DO THIS!
10/20 no scale---(in KY for a 1-day trip...went to the Jack-o-lantern Spectacular in Louisville with my husband and our 3 children.) I went on a binge last night because I was told in order to get your body going again, BINGE. My weight will go up for 2 or 3 days, then boom. Let's see if it works!
10/21 No scale except the one in the hotel that's 30lbs lower than it should be. Sooo not counting it. Lol We are in Ohio now. We went to Jungle Jim's yesterday, and I did BINGE again.
10/22 173.2 and we are back home. I know its a big jump, but I honestly have no regrets. I've been on a strict regimen for about 5 months now. I deserved to treat myself when doing something I hadn't done in 20 or so years...ride roller coasters. We went to Kings Island yesterday, and I put in almost 17g steps. Now that I'm back home, it's back to the grind and shedding these lbs.
10/23 172.6 I'm hoping that this BINGE thing works because right now, seeing my numbers up this high when it took so long to get under 172 is SO NOT AWESOME!
10/24: 172...alright...the weight is coming back off now, but I want to see it get below that 171.6 mark. If I could get to 170 or lower, then I might believe this BINGE thing one day a week works. Lol
10/25 BOOM! My scale was teasing me this morning. I saw a 169.6, but it went up. It did this 2x. I'm so close, but right now, I'm at 170 lbs. I'll take it. This is my lowest weight yet. It took exactly 3 days, and then that weight came off to a big loss. I believe that this BINGE does work. So, I will try it out again this next round.
10/26 170.8 Maybe it was sodium or a late dinner...idk...
10/27 I'm back down to 170 today. The scale has dropped in the 160s again, and then it came up to 170 and stayed. It's such a teaser.11 -

There's no "getting your body going" through over eating or binging. You can have a high calorie day but you still need to average a deficit to lose.
If you eat more calories than you normally do one day, it jumpstarts your body...sorta like when you jump your car. It just wakes up your metabolism so to speak because your body has gotten adjusted to your exercise and calorie intake. It worked for me. It got me over the hump I'd been on for a month now I believe. What I consider "binge" is probably what someone else considers a "cheat" day. I simply eat whatever I want that day, and I don't worry about the calories. I never ate to the point of being sick. I don't recommend gluttony. I just ate whatever I felt like, even if it was a McDonald's cheeseburger and fries, (which I hate on a normal basis) and chocolate. Then, I just went back to my usual diet.4 -

10/20: 160.2 Happy for my 3rd day at 160.x! I am hoping that I can leave the 160's behind over the next 10 days!
10/21: 160.4 I was sooooo hungry last night even though I had a nice filling dinner. I had some extra calories and let myself have a few small snacks. Still woke up with a growling and very hungry stomach this morning! Very busy day today, 2 kid birthday parties today with pizza and cake. My plan is to skip pizza (probably chain pizza that really isn't that good) and consider cake once if it looks worth it.
10/22: 160.2 I'm posting later in the day but weight was done this morning like always. Very active day today! W4d1 of C25K, completely cleaning out chicken coop, and hauling lots wood. 21,000 steps and the day is not over yet. I will definitely have water retention tomorrow. My muscles are hurting big time! Plus I will be enjoying some beers during the Pats game tonight. Go Pats!!
10/23: 162.0 I knew I would be up today. Just hoping it goes back down fast!
10/24: 161.8 I expected to be down more today. Ate under calories, limited sodium, and drank a good amount of water. Continued focus today!
10/25: 160.8 slow and steady release of extra fluid. Hoping to finally get below 160 soon. Keeping a deficit daily so it has to at some point!
10/26: 159.4 Finally!! Now to stay here!
10/27: 159.0 Another day on target; W4D3 of C25K completed yesterday. Onward and downward!

10/21 - 187.8 DH brought KFC home for dinner. I think it's still sitting undigested in my tummy. Stayed within calories but I think I absorbed all the salt judging from the weight gain.
10/22 - 187.2
10/23 - 188.4 OMG I need to stay away from alcohol! Sigh....
10/24 - 188.4 I have a question - I've had one period in the last two years, but the last few months I feel like I'm bloated and that I'm going to have one. Has anyone had these 'ghost periods' after menopause?
10/25 - 187.2
10/26 - 185.6 New low!! Drinking water instead of alcohol, who'd have thought?.. Actually, I knew and I record all the alcohol I drink, even though I come in at a deficit it just seems to stop my weight loss in it's tracks. I have more demons to conquer than just my weight. Lesson learned.

10/23 - 153.6 - I have a severe allergy to ragweed and it's been kicking my butt the last two weeks. I allowed myself to rest when I wasn't feeling well, but this weekend I started feeling a bit better and upped my program. Lots of exercise, lots of water, under calories. Seems to be paying off for now.
10/24 - 154.2 - this allergy situation is out of control....I have never had this many problems. I'm just exhausted all the time...had the luxury of sleeping 10+ hours over the weekend, but back to work yesterday and back to struggling to drag my butt around. No exercise yesterday but stuck to my food plan + 1 protein bar but still under calories. I've just started a course of steroid treatment so don't know what that will do to the scale or how I feel but I'm ready to try anything.
10/25 - 153.6 - no exercise again yesterday, but stuck with food plan. Feel slightly better this morning so I'm going to try to get the elliptical in.
10/26 - 152.6 - Well isn't that nice! Stuck to food plan and got 45 min of elliptical in yesterday, but that's an awfully big loss for one day...we'll see if it sticks.
10/27 - 153.4 - I knew yesterday was a little too good to be true. But overall still trending downward and met goal for the 2nd round in a row. Let's see if I can maintain or go down for the next two days! Stuck to food plan and elliptical for 45 min.

10/25 - 223.1
10/26 - 222.2 TOM is gone, now time to get this train moving. Something I've learned this challenge: Once I've gone off track, it's really hard for me to get back on. With the weather getting colder, I'm not nearly as active outside, and I just want to EAT! I need to remember that, and be much more aware of what I'm putting in my body. It's hard, but I CAN do this!
