Day/Weight/Comment

11/9 172.8 off to a good start. to be truthful I'm not expecting any major moves on the scale, since I had a good loss this past week. but maybe by the end of this round I can see another

11/10 172.6 I like it! tonight is bourbon and halo top night!

11/11 172.4 seems good! I'm feeling a bit dehydrated from booze and popcorn last night . Planning a quick hike down to the river with the kiddos and the dogs today, so gotta drink up the H20!

11/9: 162.1 Got my new bluetooth scale yesterday, so weight will probably adjust. Had a good day yesterday. Managed my portions well and went out in the cold and rain to the gym to do my C25K. Have finished the 5K part, now I am going back a few weeks and upping the speed.
11/10: 163.2 This seems a little more realistic! Yesterday's drop probably due to a weird perimenopausal TOM I was having all week? Maybe the new scale, too? I was really hungry yesterday, and very busy at work. Got my exercise and water in, but didn't track.
11/11: 163.4 Felt good yesterday. Not feeling deprived, and my body feels stronger because of the exercise. I guess if I wanted to lose faster I could severely limit certain foods, but with the holidays coming, my mind and body are not prepared for that. It's all about balance. Which is so hard to achieve sometimes!

I'm in again! Thanks for keeping this going. It's easy to feel we're not progressing or we're slower than everyone else, but seeing the round by round numbers and other people's ups as well as downs is reassuring and inspiring.

11/9 - - 148.6
That's an encouraging start. :-) Weather is on and off, but I'm hoping to sneak in a walk today between rains.

11/10 - 147.2
Woot! I see my internal fat hoarder has finally decided to let go of some of her treasures. About time! I don't expect it to happen again for a while, but that's okay. This will keep me sticking to the plan for the next 7.2 pounds at least!

11/11 - 148.2
I thought yesterday might be a fluke. That's ok. Still moving the right direction and sticking to eating plan.

Yay!  Another round!!  Thank you so much for keeping this going @cyranda63!

At first I was unsure how I would feel about recording my weight every day.  Turns out, I am actually less affected by the fluctuations than I thought I would be.  I learned that results of good (and bad) behavior can take several days to see, and focusing on the averages from round to round is very rewarding!

Let's kick MOVEmber into high gear!!

I completed my first round for round 22 and was very happy with my progress. My SW for Round 21 was 121.8 and EW was 119.6. My goal for this round is to get to 118.5. This would bring me to 30 lbs down from my highest.

11/9: 120.4- Up from yesterday but still trending down overall. I'm okay with starting here.
11/10: 120.6- Yesterday I ate really over my calories so I'm surprised that I'm not up more. My husband had surgery yesterday and I ate some cookies waiting for him and then got fast food after. Today was a new day though and while I was not "perfect", I did make some good choices. I did not order Mt Dew at a work lunch today, I avoided the cupcakes at work, and I only ate 2 cheese biscuits at Red Lobster.
11/11: 120.4- Surprised by my TOM today, which makes the last few days make a little bit more sense. But then I completed my first ever 5K! I ran it in 43 minutes and averaged 4.3 mph. 6 months ago when I could barely run for 3 minutes straight, i didn't think this was possible. So good day!

Purplebunnysarah

Goals: I've got exercise down but need accountability with my logging and staying close to goal. I want to be within 100 calories of goal every day, or within 300 overall when I look at my weekly average.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/9 - 195.4 - Going into dinner with 600 calories left so I should be good, although we are doing Tim Hortons so I'll have to resist the urge to buy a treat. (ended the day with +6 calories)
11/10 - 195.2 - I will end around -100 today as I intend to have hot chocolate before bed. Expecting my weight will be up tomorrow morning. Lots of sodium today. (-102 end of day)
11/11 - 195.8 - up due to sodium as expected. I'm planning to make cookies tonight as I'm sitting with 400+ calories left. Love long run days.

Disappointed because it's higher than yesterday, but looking at the loss from the beginning of the last round makes me realize I'm still making progress. I get impatient, have to remember this is a slow journey. Didn't feel great today, headachy and tired. Fine day for calories, water.
11/10: 163.0
Had a day off for the Veteran's Day holiday, it was nice. Went out to eat but stayed in my calories, bought an outfit for a dinner party that's a few week away, size 14s I tried on were too big. (Wound up getting something size "L" so no big victory size story.) Good on water, got some exercise.

11/11: 164.0
OK, so this seems to be my current loop. I was on my feet a lot today for a work event. Not too strenuous, just a lot of standing. A perfectly beautiful day to be outside. Ate at my goal calories, lots of veggies, good on protein. I'll get to my water goal by bedtime.

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

I am in the normal range for my age height and build, so I am on maintenance. 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.
Failed miserably at this last round. I am determined to do better this time round.

Losing a pound a week would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.

to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me an element of daily accountability which is motivational.

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 does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you 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!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/9 - 63.9kg (-0.8kg)- The scale is absolutely messing with me. 800g overnight? I wish! I'm not changing my mini-goal until I see this stick for a few days. And when it does - then I will celebrate haha YAY
11/10 - 63.6kg (-0.3kg) - This is not a drill people! The loss is real. I'm still tossing up where to reset my mini-goal to as I am away for a conference at the end of the challenge. Hmmmmm. Getting a big walk in today and sticking to gin and sodas tonight at the pub.
11/11 - 63.9kg Well I didn't get that walk OR stick to gin and sodas at the pub. Oops. Weekend weight gain totally expected. More to come tomorrow.
11/12 - 64.2kg - I'm super happy that my usual weekend heavier weight is actually lower than my lowest weight last round! Had friends around to watch multiple games of football yesterday and ate all the food and drank all the beer. Back on the wagon today with a walk and IF.

08/11 - 195.8 - nursing sore muscles today - which could be the reason for my raise in weight this morning, hopefully it will drop off again this round! went to bed early tonight (about 8pm ) my pain meds for my back are making me sleepy so I decided to just sleep instead of fighting it .. due to that ---

cals in - 1128 & exercise was - 39 mins of strength and 6 mins flex.

09/11 - 194.8 - yay! Happy I seem to be settling around these lower numbers (beats the 197 I was stuck at for 5 rounds)

GW for R22 - 150 - a three lb loss in 10 days is a lofty goal for me, but a little over 3 weeks till my wedding so it's officially go time.
Final GW - 140

11/9 - 152.2
11/10 - 151.4
11/11 - 151.2 - may have dodged a bullet here. I had some girlfriends sleep over last night and ate pizza. I woke up in the middle of the night with horrible stomach cramps and...erm...expelled the pizza. I hadn't had any bread or dairy in months, so maybe i'm allergic to something...like pizza. We'll see if it sticks, I know there may be a rebound effect.
11/12 - 151.2 - I like it.

I’ve done 14 of these challenges which is exactly 20 weeks. I started MFP before joining the challenges so there’s no starting whoosh represented here. I’ve been aiming at a 500-calorie per day deficit which would theoretically result in a 1-pound/week loss. From high to low in 20 weeks I’ve lost 24 pounds. I’ll take it! CICO!!

11/9 252.0 -- up a touch but ate with reckless abandon yesterday and I know some of it is water by how my ring feels. Wedding ring fell off once yesterday but it won’t this morning. Ordered ring guards. Lose weight? Yes. Lose wedding ring? NO!.

What are ring guards?

You can buy a ring to wear on the outside of your finger that is smaller than the inside ring. This can have an appearance that enhances the look of the original ring and help keep it from slipping off your finger.

But I think that the conversation is about adding to the original ring something to effectively make it smaller

Here are some examples



Some people just do this with tape. See making your ring smaller on google.

That's a great idea.

I am back for my 15th round! I closed Round 21 at 169.4 lbs! With both of my sons' having birthdays, and Mom being in the hospital nearing the end of her time with us, I hope that I can stick to it when counting calories is honestly the last thing on my mind.
SW: 202
UGW: 125
GW this Round: 167.0

11/9 169 lbs (-.4) My first born son turned 14 yesterday, and I did not eat any cake at all. I did have a small bit of chocolate ice cream, but I portioned it.
11/10 168.4 (-.6)
11/11 167.8 (-.6) Spent the entire day and into the early hours of the morning with Mom. She's taken a drastic turn for the worse. I fear the worst.
11/12 166 (-1.8) Spent the entire day at the hospital again. The doctors let us know that Mom only has a couple of hours left.
