Planning ahead for a small splurge but mostly healthy on TG. We've taken to having sweet potatoes without the sugar & butter (and I love them neat anyway), and I limit the stuffing and make my own cranberry sauce with chopped apple in place of sugar (I'm the only one who eats it, and I like it this way). So the big splurge is pie, and I minimize how much we have. Luckily by hubby isn't a big sweet eater. (To get my pumpkin fix this time of year, I get pumpkin butter and mix a Tbsp into cottage cheese or plain yogurt - yummy!) Everything else in our main dinner is healthy. The past three years I've run a 5K on TG morning, but we're in a different place and I didn't enter a race, so, unless it's pouring rain, I'll do my own private turkey trot. :-) I plan to enjoy TG without overdosing.
11/20 - 147.8
Went out for a ginormous (though healthy) breakfast yesterday, then had an apple for lunch and a light supper, so I didn't go over my goal, but did, I'm sure, get more sodium than usual. So this is fine.
11/21 - 148.2
Aha! There's my big, probably high sodium Sunday breakfast! Ok, moving right along...
11/22 - 149.2
Uck. OTOH, I'm under 150. I may give myself a little weigh-in break the next few days so the likely small gain on TG won't make me crazy. We'll see,
11/23 - 148.6
Ok, I have a pretty healthy day planned, so I will keep weighing after all. I will have some pumpkin pie, but the sweet potatoes are sans sugar and butter, and I'm skipping the stuffing. I have been a little careless this week, so no surprise that I'm up slightly, and I won't be surprised if I don't lose anything this round. Holding steady through the holidays is fine. Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving!
11/24 - 148.5
Well, there's a surprise! I didn't exactly pig out yesterday, but I did eat more than usual. Today is very healthy leftovers + a piece of pie. And a walk - finally a day without rain!

11/22 - 160lbs. close to getting under 160. would be nice
11/23 - 161.4 - up a bit which was disappointing because I was so close to getting under 160. Walked 3 miles today so maybe that will help with Thanksgiving. Thought I would focus on turkey, gravy, beans, dressing and a dessert the size of my fist. Should help.
11/24 - 162.4lbs. Again, not surprising. Stuck to my plan yesterday so that helped control the damage. Now to get back on track.5 -
Round 23
Ended R22 on 138.2
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 138.8 OK this is fine. Happy Sunday everyone! I’m out all day volunteering at a Santa Claus Parade, so busy busy today!
11/20 136.4 This is a blip and will probably bounce back up tomorrow. Although I had a big breakfast yesterday I was out all day volunteering for a Santa Claus Parade and didn’t eat much dinner but did have couple of glasses of wine. Let’s see how it goes.........
11/21 138.4 Knew yesterday weigh in was a fluke lol But that’s fine. Today has been an ok day, ate well but have had cluster headache now for 2 days
11/22 138.8 Yesterday was a good day for eating. Headache gone.... yay! Back to the gym for the rest of the week, be it home gym or gym in town either way I will work out!
11/23 138.6 Feeling good, this challenge is definitely making me think about what I’m eating especially in the evenings. It’s exactly what I needed to get the weight off I’ve put on this year. Let’s keep going............
11/24 137.8 OK I got on and off the scale a few times ???? It kept changing but not by much, maybe needs new batteries lol But I'll take this and see what happens tomorrow!

Well, not looking forward to weighing in the morning. Leftovers twice today, and I meant to not eat the dressing, but it was too tempting and too hard to let it go to waste. Calories were over pretty high, but still not near what I ate previous years. My portions were small, but the foods are just high calorie. Tomorrow, only sandwiches out of the leftovers- no dressing, mac n cheese, sweet potato souffle, or other high calorie goodies.7

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
Change in focus. In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.
New Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs.
I was ill most of Round 22, but achieved my goal.
Of course, losing a pound a Round 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 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 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.
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!

11/20 - 242.6 - I have been totally out of control this past week. Really trying to get my stuff together and get back on track this week. Thanksgiving will make it tricky, but I've decided I need something to work toward, so I'm researching 5k races. Tomorrow WILL be better.
11/21 - 239.4 - Back on track! And that marks 30 pounds since 9/12/17! TOM may mess things up, but I'm going to have another good day today!!
11/22 - 239.2 - Was hoping for more loss, but I'll take it!
11/23 - 239.4 - Hoping I can try to stay on track today!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - 149.16 This should be normal fluctuation since I have been sticking with the plan. Went to the pub for a drink last night, but we walk there and back which is about .5 mile. The cold and early darkness is making it difficult to get my walks in, but I am determined to keep at it as long as I'm able.
11/20 - 148.28 I hope I don't bounce up and down all round again.
11/21 - 148.28 Was surprised to see this number again today. I've been getting really munchie late at night but resisting the urge to eat more. I might try moving dinner an hour later and see if it helps.
11/22 - 148.06 Had pizza as a treat for dinner. It was well within my calories so I should be ok.
11/23 - 148.94 My sciatica has flared up. Trying to do light stretches to easy some of the pain.
11/24 - 147.84 We are celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, and I think I am going to give myself a day off monitoring every little bite and just enjoy my meal. I don't plan to go wild, but I will be enjoying a slice of pecan pie.

11/19: 163.5 Nice little drop there.
11/20: 164.9 Grrr. I am not surprised. Started a new level on my weights this weekend and went to get a massage yesterday. Had some wine and a delicious dinner afterwards. I am sore all over! Focus is on the water today.
11/21: 164.6 I've stopped tracking; need to start that up again as I think it will help me with eating better foods at a deficit (instead of maintaining, which is what I have been doing). Had a good run on the treadmill last night. I am starting to feel my muscles again!
11/22: 164.3 Had a nice mini hike with my son yesterday. We went to his favorite pizza place and I managed to order a half spinach salad instead of the slice. Really did not want to see a bounce up today! lol Prepping for dinner tomorrow... stuffing, pie, and veggies are on my list.
11/23: 165.4
Okay, I have to keep reminding myself it is not about the number... but about my mindset and the changes I am making. I allow myself one plate today and one tomorrow and will get plenty of water, and plenty of exercise. Happy Thanksgiving!
11/24: 164.3 Nice. I was able to monitor myself pretty well. Yesterday I did my weights and 20 minutes on my elliptical before I headed over to my parents' house. Limited myself to one plate and I felt exhausted after eating all those carbs! It was quite delicious, though.
Back on track today; went to the gym and ran 3 miles. 7 -
Since it’s halfway done I’ll be in on your next one! Please keep me posted!3

OK day for food, not enough water. My goal for this round is 159.
11/20: 161.5
Did what I was supposed to do today. A bit anxious about a work event tomorrow.
11/21: 161.0
Saw this about a week ago. On my feet and outside most of the day today. OK day for calories, protein, etc. Probably a bit dehydrated although I drank over 2L. Kind expecting to be down tomorrow but I could be wrong.
11/22: 161.5
So, I was wrong on that one. Glad to have the day off tomorrow. We go to a relative's house for the holiday, not sure how I'll do on food. I pre-logged some stuff and I'm not planning to have wine or appetizers, but I'm going to have to say no a lot.
11/23: 160.5
Today was very bad, diet-wise. No surprise but I had kind of a plan I didn't stick to. Went way over on calories, yet didn't hit my goals for veggies or protein. Didn't have enough water. Definitely had sugar. I did get a little exercise at least. It's only one day, have to move forward. Hope those who celebrate had a nice Thanksgiving.
11/24: 162.5
Well deserved. I guess it's a victory that I got on the scale. Today I got quite a bit of exercise and ate pretty perfectly. I don't want to let the holiday derail me.

Pregnant & gaining. Goals: hydration, vitamins, balanced macros, toning exercise daily. Honour my authentic self. Starting R23 @ 4 weeks into second trimester.

R21 SW 162
R22 SW 159.5
R23 SW 164.9
11/19 I overdid it yesterday and the expected hobbling pain came and I still hustled around moving boxes and furniture. I bought a candy apple based on the memory of enjoying them, but honestly, I only really enjoyed the green apple part. So I have added a new goal to this round: honour my authentic self. I am the girl who likes the green apple & I don’t need to eat/do/act in ways that do not align with who I am.
11/20 164.9 Healthy groceries shop, lots of greens in dinner.
11/21 163.4 Was in a rush and ordered pizza, then the snowmeggedon hit and I couldn’t attend my event anyway. Ate my bagged lunch- the avocado really paid off and kept me going. Dog walk was good until I overdid it.
11/22 came home with scary low blood sugar, ate rice crispies, milk and popcorn. Then when was feeling normal went about my evening and completely forgot to eat dinner. At least I was hydrated. Moved furniture into the new closet.
11/23 164.4 dinner was cereal and a protein shake, but lunch was super healthy. Had a nice long hobble walk with the fluffy pants.
11/24 165 just yesterday I was wondering if my lack of appetite was depression starting, and today it was definitely obvious. Hormones? No sunlight? Can’t really tell this year. All food is starting to taste gross. I just want to eat apples and cottage cheese. Maybe I’ll put myself on a plain meal plan, repetitive & nutritious.

Current Weight: 102.4kg
Goal Weight: 80kg
Challenge goal weight: 101kg
So mini goals for the next 10 days:
Stay away from Coke 0 or any other pop drink
Eat all my calories everyday, too many days under
up my water another l. taking it to 4l/day
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - 102.4kg - I've had 2 high sodium meals (restaurant), so I'm trying to flush it out. Rest day today.
11/20 - 102.6kg - Of course, yesterday being Sunday, I ate for England! - well, within my maintenance allowance, but that is NOT how I'll lose the weight! Had a very restless night and woke up too early. My cat was hit by a car this morning - he died on impact, just felt so out of it today. My daughter is so heartbroken she stayed home from school. Not much of an appetite really - and I feel a horrendous migraine coming on. What a Monday
11/21 - 102.4kg - Fitful night again, need to up the exercise (and buy a new Fitbit watch because mine is worn out and has decided to work part-time).
11/22 - 102.6kg - Ate below my calories and no exercise, such no-nos! I had a meeting that went through lunchtime so I was only able to eat at 3PM. As some of you mentioned feeling fuller eating a protein-based breakfast (@SheilaBoneham & @HeidiCooksSupper I think) I took that suggestion and had a veggie cheese egg-white omelet... What a difference! Helped me stay lucid during the (boring) meeting.
11/23 - 102.4kg - Well what a number's game this is! Wonder what my weight will be tomorrow after Thanksgiving dinner... nothing crazy, but still, (carby) foods that I don't usually eat
HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone
11/24 - 102.8kg - Not too bad, considering everything! I didn't hit my water goal, had a can of Coke zero - but definitely ate all my calories
11/25 - 102.2kg - Much better! Still no appetite yesterday and no exercise and had a Coke 0 yesterday. Pandora's box has opened with the fizzy drinks it's like if I have one, I have have it everyday after that and all the bad habits come running through the cracks. ONE month until Xmas - Need to get moving

Calories were over pretty high, but still not near what I ate previous years. My portions were small, but the foods are just high calorie. Tomorrow, only sandwiches out of the leftovers- no dressing, mac n cheese, sweet potato souffle, or other high calorie goodies.
It's hard to get over that mindset. The one that tells you not to waste food. I grew up with parents that didn't have a lot of money and our meals were pretty high calorie because they were cheaper to buy, pasta, peanut butter and jam, bologna, etc. We were also told about all the starving kids in 3rd world countries and we would not waste, just keep packing the pounds on. It's only recently that I've worked on that thought process and learned to turn away from leftovers or plan for the leftovers like prepping freezer meals. Just be good to yourself and be mindful and you will get past this.5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - 185 - lunch with old friend and ribs for dinner. Feel like I made healthy choices so not worried about this gain.
11/20 - 184.2 - moving in the right direction. Introducing alcohol back into my diet slows the process to a crawl. Truly need to get a handle on drinking.
11/21 - 183.4 - Back to my end 22 weight, I feel good but the weight is dropping so slowly, all I want for Christmas is the 170's....
11/22 - 183.2 - Decided to meal prep and made a wonderful crustless quiche with broccoli, roasted red pepper, red onion, fresh dill, all the good stuff. It smelled delicious and looked beautiful and festive. I carefully recorded and weighed every ingredient for my log. I left it to cool on the stove and my stepson spied it and asked if he could have some. Long story short - he used a stool to get a small plate from an upper shelf and left the stool at the counter and when I walked into the kitchen next there was an opportunistic Chihuahua eating the quiche. I just wanted to cry.
11/23 - 182.8 - new low! Canadian's have already had our Thanksgiving day feast in October so it's smooth sailing for me until Christmas! Happy Turkey Day to my friends that celebrate it.
11/24 - 182.4 - Hubby to me, "Why are you weighing your new pajama's? - Me, "So I don't have to get on the scale naked tomorrow morning, duh!" - Hubby, "Sigh" (I like that he likes me naked, personally I think I look like a duvet, lol.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19= 223.8 lbs- Well, too bad this wasn't yesterday. I could have had a loss for the last round. Pretty happy to see this drop though! Now...to keep this number through Thanksgiving...that's my goal. Losing would be great, but I'll be happy to stay right here for the next 10 days as long as I don't gain.
11/20= 225.3- I didn't stay where I wanted but I'm still less than R22 EW.
11/21= Forgot to weigh before I ate breakfast, so I just didn't weigh in.
11/22= 225.3- Still holding; really hope I don't go up too much because of Thanksgiving dinner and leftovers. I'm planning to have seriously moderate portions, skip the rolls, and only one small slice of pie for dessert. Leftovers will be only for meals, not random eating anytime, and will not be an entire plateful.
11/23=224.1- Glad to have this drop today. Haven't eaten breakfast. Hoping to hold out til the big lunch at 2:00, but we'll see. That might make me too hungry to resist eating too much. Will check in tomorrow to update.
11/24=223.7- This is a great number. Did well yesterday and didn't overeat. Leftovers still for a couple of days though, so I have to keep in control of those portions.
11/25=225.8- Well, I knew last night that this number was coming. I'm drinking tons of water today to flush out the sodium. I added up my numbers for Thursday and Friday- total calories I went over is 1585, which isn't terrible for two days. Total sodium, however, was more than 5000 over. Hopefully, that's what the weight is from and drinking water will help it drop back down.

11/21 - 149.4 - not too bad considering TOM came calling yesterday...
11/22 - 149.8 - I'd hoped to lose a bit to get a cushion between the 140's and Thanksgiving but...alas, it is not to be thanks to TOM. Oh well...not gonna let it rain on my punkin pie.
11/23 - 148.8 - there's my cushion...a little motivation to control myself somewhat today so it doesn't completely evaporate.
11/24 - 148.8 - Went over calories of course because the there was pie in the room, but did the elliptical before dinner, took a walk after dinner, and drank at least a gallon of water.
11/25 - 148.8 - under calories, but no exercise

Hi Everyone! I'm back a day late. We were at a Hockey tournament a few hours away from Fri-Sun so I didn't have a scale.
SW- 182.4 in March 2017
GW - Was 145...beat this several weeks ago...so now I'm trying to work out how to balance calories and activity to maintain right around where I am. I seem to have lost a few more lbs though...was down into the 141's at one point last week.
11/17 - 143.6 - last weigh in before we went away for the weekend
Round 23
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - no scale
11/20 - 143.0 - amazing considering how much we had to eat on the fly over the past few days in between the 9 games both teams had to be at. I tried to make the best choices I could, apparently I did ok with what I ate and burned more than expected being a crazy cheering hockey mom.
11/21 - 143.6 - TOM arrived early in full force yesterday...peri-menopause is crazy, makes thing so unpredictable. A bit bloaty...but not too bad.
11/22 - 143.4 - not bad considering how hard it was not to finish that package of Hot Cocoa Oreos last night...limited myself to 3...that's a TOM victory!!
11/23 - 144.0 - the oreos won yesterday...but not the whole package...about 6 of them jumped into my mouth. Also fighting off a sinus thing that I'm determined isn't going to bring me down...
11/24 - 142.6 - lots of steps and stairs working in the showroom yesterday...I need to remember to take an extra snack with me to work now that I'm trying to stay where I'm at.
11/25 - 142.4 - I did not eat enough yesterday...we took the boys to the movies and I saved some calories for popcorn...but then ended up not enjoying it as much as I though I would and I hardly ate any. My tastes sure have changed!

11/19 - 241.0 - Yesterday wasn't a great exercise day, but today will be better.
11/20 - 242.6 - I have been totally out of control this past week. Really trying to get my stuff together and get back on track this week. Thanksgiving will make it tricky, but I've decided I need something to work toward, so I'm researching 5k races. Tomorrow WILL be better.
11/21 - 239.4 - Back on track! And that marks 30 pounds since 9/12/17! TOM may mess things up, but I'm going to have another good day today!!
11/22 - 239.2 - Was hoping for more loss, but I'll take it!
11/23 - 239.4 - Hoping I can try to stay on track today!
11/24 - 242.0 - Ugh, Thanksgiving. The next few days are going to get worse before they get better
11/25 - 244.2 - Told myself I wasn't going to worry about food or exercise this weekend. I'm going to regret it come Monday...

I am in for another round. Previous rounds:
R14: start 61.3
R15: start 60.9
R22: start 60.5
R23: end weight R22 60.2. I really really want to stick to 59s!
11/19 - 60.2
11/20 - 60.0 - ran 7km on the treadmill yesterday, so all good. Ate a little bit of bread and too much cheese, but all in all was a good day. Hopefully tomorrow will go under 60 again!
11/21 - 59.8 - hello 59! Good dieting yesterday! No sweets, healthy eating all day.
11/22 - 60.3 - Don't know how this happened. I ate well, exercised at lunch, no carbs or sweets all day. Could be my salad in the evening was too bug, but still
11/23 - 58.8 - Ran 8km yesterday evening, so maybe this is just the water loss through sweat. I will see tomorrow the real weight! Ate well, had some sweets (200cal or so.. so quite a lot), but exercising seems to work well for me
11/24 - 59.5 - Quite a big difference between daily weights, but still going downward. Ate well yesterday so keeping up the hard work!
11/25 - 60.5 - so 2 kg in 2 days, not not good. It was Junk food Friday yesterday, as I had a hard day at work, but I will be back on track starting tomorrow

11/20 56,7 kg (125.0)
11/21 57,2 kg (126.1) had lunch with a friend yesterday at the restaurant, so couldn’t eat my food at home plus, bloated cause in those days! Will be good today!
11/22 57,00 (125,6) I’ve been really good yesterday, but I’ll be bloated for days....women problems :P
11/23 56,00 (123,4) didn’t expect this drop, I know I will get it back, ups and downs but let’s see!
11/24 55,7 (122,7) I’m impressed I have to admit. Having a dinner tonight so this won’t last that much! But hey I’m happy with it!

ROUND 22 starting weight 185.6
ROUND 23 starting weight 184.7
11/19 - 185.8....Had a spaghetti dinner @ the church Saturday night (then a glass of wine) at home.
11/20 - Oops....forgot yesterday
11/21 - 186.2.....Damn. Maybe I should have remembered to weigh yesterday. It got away from me today.
11/22 - 187.3.....Ummmm isn't the scale supposed to be going DOWN? What is wrong with me?
11/23 - 185.4.....?
11/24 - 184.6....OK, seem to be back on track. I had Chinese food on Tues (21st) and the sodium caught up to
me, the last couple days. Lots of water to flush it out! Wow that was scary!!!

I'm happy with my weight loss so far. Averaging about a pound every 10 days. Ultimate Goal Weight is 170

I'm in for my second round if that's ok
Round 22 start weight - 151.40
Round 23 start weight - 145.80
I'm aiming to finish this round about 143.50.......
11/19 145.70 - only 0.1lb down but happy as its the weekend
11/20 145.80 - that 0.1lb has gone back on again but really happy as it means that I have effectively maintained over the weekend which is always a big thing! I know its wasn't fat gain but often used to "gain" 2-3 lb over a weekend so a good start for me for R23
11/21 146.00 minimal 0.2 lb on - don't know why as drank usual amount of water, did my 12 mile cycle ride, ate within my calories. But I am effectively maintaining which after my losses in the last round which were so much more than I thought, I am happy with. I am still 5.4 lbs down from where I was two weeks ago - yay!!! Non scale victory today though - put on a pair of trousers for work I haven't worn for a few weeks and they were so much looser so whatever the scale says today I have definitely lost inches so all good!!! Good food day planned and 1hr PT session tonight
11/22 145.1 -0.9lbs. Obviously last 2 days were a weekend backlash (although not totally sure why - can only be my Sunday apple crumble again!). I'm in the UK so no thanksgiving for us but a night out with the girls on Friday for chinese so salt likely to play a part over the weekend - must remember to keep drinking plenty.
11/23 144.8 another .30 lb gone. Feeling motivated at the minute - not sure why or how or whats different? Maybe its coming on here every day and "checking in" and seeing everyone else's comments - not sure. But feeling motivated, feeling good.
11/24 144.80 so STS. Chinese with the girls tonight - intending to stay focused and not go mad! Also driving tonight so alcohol not a problem - going to drink plenty of sparkling water
11/25 Didn't weigh in this morning! Late night and hubby brought me a cup of tea in bed this morning - a rare treat as I'm up first almost every day and usually weigh in first thing. A controlled night last night though - did have a bit of everything including chocolate cake for dessert but drank plenty of water and on track today so hopefully no damage!! 3 days to go and mini target is around 143.50 - 144.00
