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.

I've never done this before, but I'm in! I'll be out of town Wednesday-Saturday though. My husband and I are going to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal! But I could definitely use this as motivation for making good decisions while I'm gone!
Current Weight: 216lbs
Goal Weight: 165lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 - 214.3lbs - a better start than I was expecting, to be honest! I ate mostly well and was under my daily count by 240calories, but I had some bread last night with the stew my dad made when he came to visit and was worried my body might not have loved that. I'm happy to be at 214lbs, since that was my pre-pregnancy weight! My son is 11 months old but it's been a journey to shed that weight!
10/21 - 214.6lbs - Okay, I'm not really surprised by this. With my dad visiting for a few dats, we tend to eat out more than usual. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and a few bites of fried mushrooms that the table got for an appetizer. That's okay though. I just have to try to be more consistent.
10/22 - 213.2lbs - I'm so thrilled to see this. My whole issue with health has been bad decision making. Before, I'd be motivated for a short periods of time and then I'd get bored and eat my emotions by getting a box of some cheese snack mix. But I'm really trying to focus in on my decision making and yesterday at lunch tested that. My dad wanted to go to a wings place where everything on the menu is high in calories. Even their salads were 1000+ calories. But I didn't just get whatever I wanted. I studied the menu and added calories to make a better choice. And it paid off.
10/23 -214.3lbs - Darn. I trird to make good decisions, but my dad wanted to go out to lunch again. I got a salad and sweet potato fries, but I tried a piece if his pizza. And for dinner, my son stayed up late so I wasn't able to sit down and eat until 10. I HATE eating that late. I should have just gone to bed instead of eating! Gotta keep working on consistent better choices. My dad is leaving today, so no eating out!
10/24 - 213.4lbs - yay! Yesterday, I was on top of my food and water intake. I take a 30oz bottle of water with me to work and go home on lunch and refill it so I make sure that I get 60oz during the work day. I didn't eat out. Everything I did at home and I had dinner at 6 rather than 10. Tomorrow we're leaving at 4pm to head to Orlando, so I'll have to really focus on making good choices. It's hard to eat that great when you're at a theme park! But I can at least say I'll get a tooon of steps Thursday and Friday. We went two years ago and I had 35,000 steps in one day. Much more than my usual 6k on a work day.
10/25 - 212.8lbs - ...Wow. I'll be totally honest with you guys (though a large part of me would rather not admit my bad choice), I did not expect a loss. I was under my calorie goals, but I did binge eat cheezits after dinner... I think my issue is that I was depriving myself a little too much. I need to work on creating more balanced meals so I don't get that urge to go stuff my face with something only briefly satisfying. I am thankful that I still lost weight, but that's not the way I want to do it. Today we leave for Orlando, so I don't think I'll have a scale to check in on until Saturday, but I will continue to check in with my calorie and decision making! Gotta hold myself accountable!
10/26 - No scale - I was fairly on top of everything yesterday. I drank 108oz of water. I did have a late night snack of popcorn after we got to our hotel room. But we're about to get up and head to the theme park so I'll get plenty of steps in!

My period is nearing its end, so some of that bloating should be going away. Also took 2 days off the workouts to deal with the soreness/bloating. Will get back into that today so may have that again. Lots of variables so just gotta focus on the day to day decisions and make sure that I'm remaining consistent and focused even as the weight bounces around.8 -

10/20-191.8 I am really enjoying this downward trend. Everyday I expect it to level out and every day I am surprised! This means I've lost almost 16lbs total! I'm so thankful for this group and the daily accountability.
10/21-191.6 TOM finally arrived even though I was expecting it a week ago. Likely explains the quick decrease over the last couple days.
10/22 -191.8 - Exepected. Chinese buffet last night. I love dumplings... That is all...haha

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!!
10/25 182.8 maybe, just maybe. I've been drinking lots of water, as usual, and was under my calorie goal for the day. Got home @ 8:20 last night and didn't want to make dinner, but I had been planning all day to make a "stir fry" with chicken breast, rice, broccoli and cauliflower. So I did. And it turned out wonderful. Only 890 calories for the whole thing and I ate half. I brought the rest for lunch today.

10/23 - 222.0 - weekend bloat. I over did it on sodium rich food bc we were out of town and I didn't exercise. Hopefully I can get it down in a day or two.
10/24 - 221.6 - working my way back down. Really need to focus on ny water intake.
10/25 - 220.2 - goal in sight! have skipped the gym the last two nights because I've been really tired, but I'm watching my calories intently

10/20 175.4 the scale has kind of been stuck since about Oct. 3 so I'm trying to be patient.

10/22 177.4 ?
10/23 177.6
well, I'm confused. All I can think is that I'm holding a bunch of water for some reason. Expecting a good loss one day this week.
Plan for today: write it, then bite it! Stick with the plan and drink 64 oz water.
10/24 176.6 ugh
10/25 175.0 again. Glad to see it! hope tomorrow to get past it though! I was so hungry yesterday, I made hot tea in between meals and also some Golden Milk (turmeric, 2 oz almond milk, hot water, cinnamon) in the blender to keep me going.
10/26 174.6 Finally, a drop! I've been sticking pretty close to the plan.. hope it keeps rolling!

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.

I have the same problem. I read somewhere (I'll try to find the source) that when you drink alcohol it essentially stops fat loss for the time period it takes your body to process the alcohol, because it's more important to neutralize the toxins then it is to process fat. I can't remember if there was a legit study to back it up, but it makes sense to me that your body can only deal with so much at a time..
edit: not the article I was thinking of but still some supportive evidence

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years.

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...

10/20 179.4 - calories were good, I ate clean, and exercised yesterday.
10/21 179.2 - calories were below maintenance, but I didn't get any exercise yesterday. We're seeing Hamilton today! Plus dinner out. I'll be mindful if my choices.
10/22 178.6 I ate well and stayed within calories. Also exercised yesterday, did a good cardio workout.
10/23 178.2 Fitness Blender may be my saving grace. Wow, I love the workouts they offer! I did a short HIIT workout in the morning followed by a short upper body one. We volunteered at our local Pumpkin festival yesterday, so I also got all my steps in, and then I carried a 30 lb pumpkin 1/2 mile to the car. Whew.
An interesting twist about a month into this "give me 10 days" game. I no longer remember every morning what my weight was the day before. After I got on the scale today I thought, "Is that down?" Hmmm.
10/24 178.8 - normal fluctuation. Calories were spot on yesterday, and I exercised. Didn't drink enough water, though and I haven't been getting enough sleep.
10/25 178.4. Ate clean, calories were on, and exercised. I lose weight so slowly now. Everything changed after menopause. Somewhere along the way I realized I might have to be happy with .5 lb a week. Last week to this was .6. I'll take it. One cannot have the proper actions without finally getting the proper results. Water and sleep were both better. I still need to get to bed earlier!
10/26 180.8
I ate 2 out of 3 meals in restaurants yesterday. The calories weren't horrible, but higher than maintenance (slightly). That sodium, though... I may also be holding onto some add'l water - I've upped my workouts and am basically a little sore, everywhere.

Goal this round: Get back to exercising. Eat fewer unhealthy snacks.
I find it very interesting that not counting calories did not have a big effect on my weight, but eating more "junk" and more food did make me feel less healthy. I am going to give this a try again, mostly because I have a big fear of gaining the 50ish pounds back overnight.

10/23 - 140.0 finally exercised! 30 min. elliptical
10/24 - 139.1 dentist (crown) - no exercise- about 1200 calories (no lunch)

I read somewhere (I'll try to find the source) that when you drink alcohol it essentially stops fat loss for the time period it takes your body to process the alcohol, because it's more important to neutralize the toxins then it is to process fat. I can't remember if there was a legit study to back it up, but it makes sense to me that your body can only deal with so much at a time..
edit: not the article I was thinking of but still some supportive evidence

Very informative, thank you so much for this Hammycakes! I've decided to do try not to drink until round 25, the cusp of Christmas and see how I do, these last 5 rounds have been pretty slow going. I attribute it to adding alcohol back into my diet.5 -

10/26 / 230.8 / Not sure why this happened? Worked out and was under my calories. Tomorrow is my "official" weigh in day with my trainer so I'm really hoping to be back under 230 again.
