JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 20

Day/Weight/Comment
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!

10/23:  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:

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 What an awful start to the day. I woke up late and completely forgot to weigh. Then there was a train so I had to go around that. Got back on track and then there was a bad wreck (not me) about a mile from work. Somehow I managed to get to work on time.
10/21 180.2 yippee! Hopefully it won't be such a roller coaster this time. Going shopping with my mom today. Most of my pants and a lot of tops don't fit anymore.
10/22 Didn't weigh - honestly didn't even think about it. Yesterday, my mom and I went shopping and we got several things - 2 pairs of pants, 2 tops and 4 skirts. We were going to do more but instead adopted a dog for her and my dad! So cute. I hope he works out for them. My mom has lots of back and leg issues from a car wreck years ago and my dad has Parkinson's. Their dog passed away from bladder cancer 1 1/2 years ago and it was time for them to get a companion.
10/23 181.8 not too bad but up again. Mondays always seem to be the worst days to weigh. I don't drink water like I should and eat too much over the weekend. When I'm at work, I eat sensibly (usually) and drink 60-80 oz of water (I know some people say that doesn't matter, but to me it does). On the weekends, I drink lots of coffee and diet Pepsi and, well, eat too much. I know this is something I need to work on. I want to see the 170s so bad! I haven't weighed less than 180ish in years!
10/24 183.0 I am getting a bit frustrated. I am logging everything I eat and drink. I am very rarely over calories so I don't understand. However, a work friend (who is a larger lady) told me today that if I get any skinnier that we couldn't be friends anymore She was completely kidding of course, but she said that I looked like I'd lost weight just since yesterday. I know the scale isn't the only indicator of weight loss but it's the most obvious (at least to me). I'll have to take some measurements tomorrow morning, if I remember, and see if I've lost some inches. Onward and downward!!

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.

I don't even know how you get that many steps in on a regular basis. It's so hard for me to reach my goal. So KUDOS to you for the 7000+.

Thanks! I get 4000 steps just from walking to and from the subway during my daily commute and I'm always walking around the building for work. If I drove to work, the steps would be so hard for me to get in.

I know how you feel about battling the same couple of pounds. I was in that battle when I was in the 180s. It took a while but I finally got over the hump and looks like you're about to too!

So, happy to start this round off here. Spent much of yesterday traveling; ate out and keep calories around maintenance. Enjoyed going out to eat, and the season opener of the Thunder. Back to the plan today. Not enough water; all other goals met. Strength training at the gym.

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.

R19 SW 158.9
R20 SW 156.2 (in my birthday suit this round!)
Pregnant & gaining average 1lb per week. Goals: hydration, vitamins, balanced macros, toning exercise daily.

10/20 157.9 lunch courtesy of the office meant unhealthy pub options, but I finally nailed my macros and had a good calorie count. Very bloated & even more thirsty than last week.
10/21 158.2 big lunch big dinner; still under calories. So many leaves raked - and I bet it'll be windy tonight.
10/22 161.7 A 'rest' day just with housework and dog walking.
10/23 160.1 There should be a calorie count for washing a large dog. First prenatal yoga. Managed to hit high protein without even trying- pinto beans. Wow.
10/24 160.1 twice I ate past the point of being full on purpose, my stomach is so much smaller these days, even though my uterus is still tiny! Weirdly opposite of what I expected aaannnd still under calories. Maybe the guts get backed up. Two quick walks to the mechanic and a regular pitch-black (read: slow as all hell) walk with the dog really gave me surprisingly high activity minutes.

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

TerriRichardson112

@cyranda63 Perfectly normal. You may even get some spotting. I menarched 30 years ago and it happens

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 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!

22/10/2017: 159.2 Goals ✅ This is like watching paint dry! And the weekend isn't helping! Still, I have 5 more days before the next one hits!
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.

Back to my end weight for the last round. 800 grams to go to my mini-goal in 4 days. Can it be done? We will just have to wait and see. Finishing up on a Sunday does not bode well for me. Maybe this will be my motivation to stay on track this weekend (even with two Halloween parties to attend!).

10/20 - 65.8kg - Ate at maintenance yesterday and needed a heavier carb day but am happy to see the bump up was quite small. I still don't trust that I'm in the 65s! Girls night tonight so expecting to be up tomorrow!
10/21 - 66.6kg - as expected!
10/22 - 66.6kg - it's been a mental weekend. Working til 11pm both nights. Not a spare second to myself. Need to go grocery shopping and make some time for exercise tomorrow.
10/23 - 67.5kg - groceries done, lots of health food and no excuses. Glad to be back into a more normal routine. Not sure I'll make goal but would like to see my start weight for the round again.
10/24 - 66.4kg - Only half a kilo until I'm back at my start weight for this round. Low cals and lots of water to make up for the weekend. It would be nice to not be battling against my weekends constantly. I see a frustrating pattern here!
10/25 - 65.5kg - Dinner tonight with the in-laws so am doing some pre-damage control with a run and a light lunch. Intermittent fasting seems to be my friend just now, as does drinking lots of water. Have not exercised once this round so would like to get out there tonight, not for the scale but for my own health and happiness!

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
25/10 - 195.0 -
26/10 -
27/10 -

Day/Weight/Comment

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!

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
10/24 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.

Well, I'm personally so jelly as my kids would say. I'm trying to just get into the 160's. You're doing great. Keep it up!
