Final GW - 140
11/19 - 150 meh...
11/20 - 149.4
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
11/26 - 148.4 - Not nearly as much movement as I wanted this round but a loss is a loss is a loss...it's all good.

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!!!
11/25 - 184.6
11/26 - 185.8 Another Saturday to get me into "trouble".....should be OK the rest of the week

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...
11/26 - 244.4 - Today I am getting back to it. I really feel terrible eating like I have the past few days. Something I didn't realize was how I used to feel like this all the time. Now that I don't anymore, feeling like this again is a good reminderof why I'm making these changes.

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 but haven't lost in a couple of months. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years. It's been verrry slow the last couple months.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19....142 Ate out 2 meals yesterday. Today, ellip
11/20...142.4 Arrgghh, no exercise, spent the day cooking and made bread, which I ate! Today, I'll do better.
11/21... 141 More like it... did 75 min on ellip yesterday. Today, I will go back to entering food in diary before eating it. Helps me decided whether or not it's worth the cost. More ellip
11/22... 140.8 Ellip yesterday 45 min... water, ellip and entering before eating = goals for the day. Happy pre Thanksgiving to those in US.
11/23...140.8 Did 75 min on ellip, no wine for 3 days, ate sensibly and within limits, surprised weight didn't drop.
11/24...1418 50 min ellip ... way too many carbs yesterday with Thanksgiving.
11/25...141.2 Surprised at drop as we had a second thanksgiving yesterday. Did 60 min ellip. Drank lots of water.
11/26...141.2 Went to gym yesterday, today gonna get some walking in. Salad. Big salad and protein and water today

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!
11/26 -140.6 - ?????????? - Had a very busy and active Saturday. Tried a new work out and my glutes and hammy's are screaming this morning. I didn't drink enough water and clearly didn't eat enough...I may be a bit dehydrated...I expect this weight will bounce up again tomorrow if I re-hydrate and take it easy today.

I think my mindset has also changed from "I'm on a diet until I hit goal" to "I'm going to eat within my allotted calories and be mindful, but this is for life, so no pressure on setting a goal date" - I feel so much better about it... I'm still on a learning curve though and I still have a tendency to eat below my cal allowance.
That is it exactly! It isn't a temporary way of eating, it's learning how to eat period. Realizing that is a winning strategy I feel. I haven't lost much the last couple of months but that doesn't matter as much as it would have once as I know I'm eating healthy and not gaining. Eventually the last 10 will come off too. Plus, I have become devoted to exercising.

I have noticed a big difference and after I use the last pack in the freezer for spaghetti today, I will be drastically limiting it from my diet from now on.

I am back for Round 23. I've been logging my calories every single day, but it hasn't been easy. I'd forget until the last minute. I'd do it though, and I never missed a day. Both of my sons' had really messed up birthdays this last round. My oldest turned 14 and my youngest turned 9. For 2 weeks we were at the hospital with Mom, and the day after our sons' made it through their birthdays (which are 4 days apart), Mom passed away. We've been in Missouri laying her to rest. It has been incredibly hard, and it is going to take some time to get back into the swing of things. Cancer is an ugly beast. I don't want her in pain or suffering anymore, but how I miss her so very much. We spoke every single day. Sometimes it was about her grandchildren, about her health, about the weather, what we were making for dinner, or what we did that day. I'm going to miss those talks most of all. Everyone keeps saying I will get adjusted to the new normal, but I'm not liking it at all right now.
I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks @quiltingjaine for sending a message to check up on me. You knew what had happened without me saying a single word. You just noticed my absence. I appreciate that you reached out with your support and condolences. It means so much. You're the reason why I'm back this morning...doing these challenges again.
Round 23 SW: 166.8
GW: 166
UGW: 125
11/19 166.8 After a week on the road and living in a hotel to lay Mom to rest.
11/20 167.6 Housework all day
11/21 167.6 Back to work for the first time since Mom's been gone. It was a really hard day for me, and I just wanted to come back home.
11/22 166.8 Going ahead with Thanksgiving preparations for Mom's side. I don't really feel like celebrating, but I need to do this for her.
11/23 166.6 I am struggling today and feel sick to boot.
11/24 166.6 Miss Mom a lot this Thanksgiving. Spent 2 days cooking for my husband and his brother, so they could still have a family get together with a lot of Mom's recipes, AND my BIL never showed. He decided he wanted to invite strangers into our home without discussing it first with my husband. My husband wasn't appreciative when he found out, so he refused to come. So much food in my fridge now and such an upset hubby.
11/25 167.4 Baked 2 pies today for my side of the family's Thanksgiving. So many new faces this year and people flying in from out of state. I enjoyed visiting with everyone, but it seemed so surreal.
11/26 165.4 Have all but 6 thank you notes done for those that sent flowers or gave donations in Mom's memory. I ended up having a horrid migraine, and I still do have it. I've been in and out of sleep since about 3:30 yesterday afternoon. It's been awhile since I've had one of those.

11/20 - 161.2
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.
11/25 - 161.2 back weight I was a few days ago. directionally correct.
11/26 - 160.8 down again

11/20 215.6 - coming back down. Really focused on keeping it together this week. Not sure if I'll make my goal this round at this rate. We shall see.
11/21 213.6 - Getting better. I hope it keeps going.
11/22 211.4 - Alright! Now let's see if I can stay down over the holiday weekend.
11/23 211.6 - Not to bad
11/24 213.4 - I'm OK with this given I was stuffed after Thanksgiving dinner. Morning average is still going down, so it is fine.
11/25 212.4 - Equal with my morning average now. Not a lot of hope for the rest of this weekend. Today we are going to my mom's and tomorrow is DucksGrilling (the tradition we started since we only have our girls for Thanksgiving every other year - they love it!)
11/26 212.4 - Holding steady. I'm amazed I haven't gained a ton over this holiday weekend...

11/19 173.4 Went out last night with the hubs and decided to get dessert after. Wound up eating above maintenance and the scale shows it.
11/20 173.4 Went for my second day of maintenance calories yesterday to help out the hormone levels. Back on my deficit today, and all week until a cheat meal on Thursday!
11/21 172.4 the weekend weight is all gone. I ate 3 oreos yesterday but was still within 5 calories of my goal, lol. hoping to see a bit of a drop tomorrow~
11/22 172.8 sigh. I have been eating a bit more than usual but nothing crazy. body fat was down on the scale which sometimes means I'm holding water. guess we shall see tomorrow
11/23 174.4 Wha? this was a weird weigh in.
11/24 175.6 not so bad considering the trend. I ate what I wanted, but no where near as much as I would have before. Plus I really on had the one meal, as I was cooking in the morning and driving in the evening. looking for a drop tomorrow- drinking all the water today!
11/25 175.2 darn how can there be only 3 more days left? Trying not to be discouraged by the number on the scale. My pants still fit great, and no one else can see it except me. Needs to be the motivation to stay the course and keep things rolling downward. This will be my first round where my average weight is higher than the last unless this trend changes quickly.
11/26 175.0 blah! went out with the girls last night. drank a bit too much and had some salty snacks. Plan for today: write it then bite it, drink 100 oz of water.

I have 2 thanksgiving meals to go to this round and my cousin's wedding, so my goal is to maintain the same average weight this round as last round.
11/19: 119.8- This is a jump up of a lb from yesterday, but I'm really feeling my strength workout from yesterday so I think that is contributing a bit to the increase.
11/20: 120.4- Eating wasn't great yesterday as I bought my nemesis, tortilla chips, at the store.
11/21: 119.4- Not excited to see the scale tomorrow I had movie theater popcorn for the first time in 6 months. And it wasn't even as good as I remembered!!
11/22: 119.8- Well it went up but it could have been worse. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I'm looking forward to the turkey and mashed potatoes.
11/23: 119.8- Mashed potatoes yum
11/24: 119.4- I had a wonderful Thanksgiving #1 with my family. I ate all my favorites but logged it and tried to not stuff myself. I'm off to Thanksgiving #2 with the in laws today. They have deep fried turkey.
11/25: Away from scale. Went to cousin's wedding. I've driven a total of 16 hours over the last 3 days.
11/26: 119.2- Not bad at all but I know that I am dehydrated from all the driving that I've been doing. I will be drinking a lot of water today, especially because I have a nasty cold.

11/19 251.8 -- One pound less than yesterday. Rather than save calories for evening snacks, I made sure to eat all my calories during the day and finished with supper. I didn’t stay up until the wee hours and I didn’t do any late night post-diary snacking!
11/20 250.2 -- Lowest yet. I will continue getting all calories eaten by the end of supper. If I don’t start to eat after supper I don’t need to figure out how to stop at a time of day (late evening) when I’m least in control of my eating.
11/21 251.0 -- The scale is toying with me.
11/22 252.8 -- Over ate with reckless abandon yesterday and this is the result. It was fun but as my mother says, “Them that plays pays.” Back to controlled eating today.
11/23 251.6 -- A nice controlled day yesterday. I must remember to weigh portions today. We’re having pot roast at hubby’s request and that can’t really be measured ahead of time. I’m going to be looking for listings like “chuck roast, braised.” Happy Thanksgiving!
11/24 252.0 -- After yesterday’s immoderation, eating-wise, this is to be expected.
11/25 251.6 -- One shouldn’t be eating “at maintenance” while still over 100 pounds overweight but that’s clearly what I’m doing with late night snacking. Must get back into the discipline of eating only what I log.
11/26 251.2 -- It’s hard to see this is the 7th day of the challenge and I am only now feeling the commitment in my brain necessary to stick to controlling my calorie intake. No eating after 9 p.m.!
11/27 No eating after 9 p.m.!
11/28 No eating after 9 p.m.!
