9: 214... So, so hungry yesterday. Thank you ovulation! Ate at maintenance... Not that it helped me maintain though. Lol
Another hungry day today. I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.
10: 212.7...I expect to keep releasing weight, sometimes the timing surprises me though. I made decent choices yesterday, but also ate back most of my exercise calories. Macros were ok, but not great. Sodium was a bit high, but I got plenty of water in me. Ended with a 254 calorie deficit. Chili cook-off for a school event tonight. I'm prelogging as best as I can, so I can work the calories and macros into my day. I'm wanting to have 1 drink, which might put me over, but I'd rather not feel like I'm depriving myself.
11: 214.2... I'm not surprised by this at all. Over calories yesterday because of the school event last night. 1 glass of wine turned to 3, and I had bread with my chili and cookies from the bake-off for dessert. I hadn't planned for that. I did win the chili cook-off though! Came home and ended up going for a walk in the neighborhood because the air felt really refreshing. It was a good night, and I feel positive and at ease around recovering from a night of relatively minor indulgences.
12: 214.1... I'm certain this would've been a bigger drop, but I ate kind of late last night and went over my calories. Plus, no exercise so I didn't have any leeway. Back to IF schedule today.
13: 211...Wowsa! I didn't expect that overnight! I essential had only one large meal yesterday though, aside from my bulletproof coffee. I didn't plan it that way, I just wasn't really hungry. I still ended up eating almost all of my 1400 calories between the coffee and 1 meal, so I guess my body is just recovering from the last few days.
14: 210.9... I was actually afraid to step on the scale today. After an out of town appointment, my kids and I decided on a whim to go see A Wrinkle in Time. Movies for me mean popcorn, which I usually plan my day around.... But we had Subway first, which lessened my popcorn intake. However, I ended up sharing soda and candy with my kids. I thought I'd be up AT LEAST a pound today, so I'm happy to see that isn't the case. Maybe because I stuck to my IF schedule? I don't know for sure though. I was definitely over my calories significantly.
15: 210... Yesterday was a great day, and it's now official... I'm down 20 pounds since Christmas!

3/9 - 149.8
Okie dokie. I am eating better day by day as we get almost settled in, but still a lot of restaurant food, so sodium.
3/10 - 150.2
Sigh. But still eating out (we'll get to the grocery one of these days! House hunting has been all-consuming). I am mostly watching what I order better, but we had Italian last night and I always retain water after to many carbs. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
3/11 - 149.6
That's better. Feeling much more in control.
3/12 - 150.2
Gaaa. I did not overeat yesterday, but I think this is still sodium, and will be for another few days. I'm trying to remain calm about it, and see the past 3 weeks and (probably) the next as a metabolism reset pending eating & exercise getting back to normal. My clothes still fit!
3/13 - 150.4
Right. I've eaten fewer calories the past couple of days and I'm up a little. Delayed reaction? I dunno. Not happy but not panicking yet. Sigh.
3/14 - 151.6
Whaaaaa??? Makes no sense unless very delayed reaction. Oh, well. Today's our 26th wedding anniversary, so I'm eating whatever I want. Then back at it.
3/15 - 150
That's better. And again, delayed, I think, since I ate over cals yesterday and had apple pie a la mode for dinner. I mean, it was Pi Day!
If I can drop one more pound by the end of this round, I'll be happy. But even now, I don't feel too bad about the +3.2 lbs in 4 stressful weeks of travel, moving, house hunting, and mostly restaurant food.

3/15 - 237.4
I had an event last night with a table full of free food and a sheet cake that literally had my name on it, and guess what? I didn’t eat a single thing! I told myself that I was there to meet new people, mingle with acquaintances, and appreciate my friends’ and family’s support— I wasn’t there for the cake, and neither were they! It was a major victory for me. Today is the first day this week that I won’t be completely swamped, so I’m looking forward to catching up and taking care of myself.

Goal Weight: 115 lbs - Met in late 2017
I met my goal weight in late 2017. My new goal now is to stay around 115 average. Lately I've been ranging around 110-112 lbs. Since switching to a whole food plant based diet, I can't seem to stop losing weight, despite reintroducing alcohol into my diet. It's about the seemingly unimportant decisions. But consistently making them everyday is what leads to success.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/09 / 271.0 / I will be out of town for nearly all of this challenge, and without a scale in the mornings. I will track my weight for a trend line but since I will have already consumed water (and coffee) at a minimum, my weight will not have consistency. I will eat to plan.
3/10 / 270.8 / I decided to just bring my scale. Crazy, I know.
3/11 / 273.2 / I broke my diet, hard. Cheese and crackers with wine. I’m also tired of issues that arise due to dieting and am taking milk of magnesia to combat that, but only for today.
3/12 / 272.2 / Trying to shoe horn my scale into my suitcase. If I can’t, I’ll still work my plan while away.
3/13 / No Scale / Ended up not bringing my scale, but my sister in law just offered hers. YAY. I’ll weigh in tomorrow. I did all my precooked meals and got them into the freezer so I am set to work my plan despite my family’s eating habits.
3/14 / 271.0 / I am happy with the loaner scale. I can watch my trend now.
3/15 / 270.0 / Really watched my salt intake and drank water like it was oxygen. Two days of too much activity to drink a lot of water (including traveling or sitting in an airport for twelve hours).

3/14 - 178.8 Eating less the last two days & moving/exercising much more. Lots of decaf hot tea makes me feel warmer, and that seems to lead to less eating. Significantly more fish & beans, both of which I thought I’d never eat happily & by choice LOL
3/15 - 178.4
Wow, waist is finally getting smaller! Hopeful.
My Apple Watch is definitely helping me move and exercise more. And I think my huge thermos of piping hot water that I use to refill my mug of decaf tea throughout the day is really helping too. Over 10K steps yesterday + Pilates: FUN!8 -

@Sparx_81
Waiting is the tough part. Delayed gratification isn't natural for anyone, and it's the only way to survive the "getting healthy" process. If you stay at a calorie deficit, stay accountable, and keep doing all the great things you're doing, the WHOOSH™ will come. We've all felt what you're feeling, and if you're generally trending positively (average weight, clothes fitting better, increasing fitness metrics), you're winning.
The WHOOSH™ will come. KNOW this.
Staying on target before it happens is the challenge. I feel your pain. Keep up the great work!9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
3/9 = 206.6 (-1.0). Good start, but this little whoosh just gets me back to zero. It officially took me 6 days to recover completely from last Saturday's 4.0 lb gain, but it finally happened. This was my normal pattern before this challenge. I need to remember how long it takes me to recover from a bad day, even a bad meal (6 days, apparently). That all being said, I'm energized. My knee feels great this morning without pain killers. I'm going to the gym tomorrow (need to rest one more day after my cortisone injection), and I'll get in my weights and my HIIT. It feels SO GOOD to be back down to zero. I'm going to destroy this weekend. No eating out. Everything planned. I might even cook. No wifey temptations, because she's in SF with her sister and friend.
3/10 = 207.8 (+1.2). LOL. Can't blame my wife for the Na+ bomb(s) I consumed yesterday. Ate within calories, but was 50% over in my salt intake. Another weird thing... it was REALLY HARD to get any water down yesterday. I ended up drinking about 100 ounces, but I had to force it down more or less, and drinking water is usually not a problem for me at all. Good news is there MAY be basketball today that I wasn't expecting (I'll find out in an hour or so). Either way I'm hitting the gym, and I'm going to make it a good day eating. Knee is still feeling good; we'll see how I feel AFTER the gym. Can missing my wife cause me to gain weight?
3/11 = 208.0 (+0.2). Basketball happened. I was more than 1300 calories below maintenance. I drank a crap load of water. The scale doesn't care! It's one weigh-in, and I'm not supposed to let one weigh-in bother me. But IT BOTHERS ME!!! And yet, as I say this, I have to acknowledge that I had 580 calories of junky sweet deliciousness yesterday, and a bunch of damned Na+. Under calories yes, but was it a healthy day? Not really. I really do miss my wife.
3/12 = 207.4 (-0.6). I did well yesterday. I ate within calories, hit my macros, had a ton of water, and was under on sodium. My dinner (that wife pre-bought) was half good, half bad (chicken with rice, but the rice was REALLY salty). For the first time in I don't know how long, I actually chose to throw away my food. I tossed 80% of my rice, and it felt great. My wife is coming home tonight. I missed her a bunch, and I learned that her being gone was not a magic weight loss elixir (which I'm actually happy about). There may be basketball again tonight; if there is I'll hit the gym, if not I'll hit the gym tomorrow.
3/13 = 208.8 (+1.4). My wife is back, and I had a cheat meal with her last night (burger from my favorite place). I was only about 200 calories over maintenance, but it's never simple when it comes to cheat meals. It was amazing, and I'm going to own it. Gym tonight, and I'm going to be do weights and HIIT. Not going to beat myself up. Plus it's only 1.4 lbs (not 4!). I'm okay. Plenty of time to turn this challenge around.
3/14 = 206.0 (-2.8). WHOOSH™. This is what keeps me coming back... knowing that this can happen at any moment, as long as I'm being accountable and generally sticking to my goals. I didn't even make it to the gym last night (raining and I ride a motorcycle). This is a new low for me since coming back to MFP, and I'm NOT going to celebrate in any way! I'll try hitting the gym again tonight (can borrow my wife's car). I also have basketball on Thursday and Saturday, so I should be able to finish off this challenge STRONG!
3/15 = 206.2 (+0.2). I had a high calorie day (200 calories over maintenance, estimated), but I ate SO HEALTHY (except for my dessert, but even that was okay). It was a day that helped me imagine what life could be like when I finally hit my final goal (whatever that might be) and I'm just chilling at maintenance. For dinner I had this fantastic superfood vegetarian salad that I NEVER would have craved before now, but that was my choice last night. I knew it would put me over calories, but that's where I'm recognizing another paradigm shift in me. It's more than okay for me to eat really good (healthy) food whenever it's available, especially if I'm craving it. I thought about not eating dinner last night (I would have been under calories), but I chose my salad instead. It felt so clearly like the right choice. Basketball tonight, and lifting weights.

3/12 / 238.6 / I was so hungry yesterday. I ate back all calories and would have happily kept going. NOM. I'm actually glad this is just a 1.6 pound increase. I expected worse!
3/13 / 238.6 / TOM creeping up on me. Not feeling great today, but will still try to make good choices. I want to sleep, eat all the things, and sleep.
3/14 / 239 / Expected. Bleh. I would wrestle an alligator for something salty.
3/15 / 238.2 / And the downward trend can commence again! Yesterday, while walking to the train, I noticed that I kept feeling like I could just break into a run. What a great feeling, and that was on a day when I didn't really feel great. Oh, and I've got a trampoline arriving today. I can bounce right along with my weigh-ins!

Previous Round 333/4 SW=361.8 *Bought a new digital scale, set up my Samsung Health. Came in under budget on call. Super excited to finally get off the plateau.
3/5 SW=359.3 *Walked .8 of a mile today went to the park and back. 2nd day in a row I came in under my calories budget.
3/6 SW=358.0 *So today is kind of a big day, I'm joining a diet bet game; for my chance at winning some $$ on my weight-loss journey. So here's to more exercise and staying under my calories budget
3/7 SW=355.2 *So yesterday I walk the dog to the park again and realized I wanna do that every day and slowly increase my walking distance. Yesterday calorie budget didn't get broke but I ended up eating my full budget. I followed this amazing recipe called Italian sausage white bean soup from cook smart meal plan. I made 6 servings yesterday @293cal a serving with extra broth and I grabbed 2 serving yesterday.
3/8 SW=354.4 *So grand total LW=7.4lbs yesterday I didn't get a chance to walk to the park, as I was gone visiting family out of town. We got back home at like 8:30 then I rushed around the make Baked chicken parmesan it was a super delight, I made a total of 9 servings 5 servings of chicken and 4 servings of eggplant..yum yum yum and @170 cal a serving you know it is got me both a chicken and eggplant. And still didn't break my calories budget still had like 345 call left over. I think this weight loss journey is gonna be yummy!! In my tummy.I can't wait to round 34 of this whole just give me 10 days.
Round 34
3/9 SW=352.2 * So last round I had a weight loss of ?? ( wanna know read my spoiler-Muahahahaha) I really liked the 10-day challenge even though I didn't get in on the whole 10 days, but this one I will be. So last night I walked around the block it was the same distance as going to the park and back. Then for dinner, I made this very delish (with ideas for improvement for next time I cook it) Oven Baked Risotto with Mushrooms. Oh, and I landed a new job!! it's part-time $10 an hour but I'm not complaining. Its better than what I have now which is $0.
3/10 & 3/11=354.6 & 354.4 * So I'm going to post 2 days into one update. So on the 10th was my first full day at sitting as the Easter Bunny at the mall. Which to tell you all a secret ( I think half the time I might have been snoozing zzzzzzzzzzzzzz) Not because I was bored but here am, sitting in these insanely tight Bunny Bottoms size (LARGE) and here my (FLUFFY size 24) is squeezed inside them; every discomforting. Add a mix of it dark inside the head of the Bunny and for some reason maybe human design flaw but when I'm sitting for a while and nothing keeps my thought pattern going (This can be either light or dark setting) my brain will start going into sleep mood. Part of my job is "Bunnies can't talk"
Now Picture This Been sitting still and quiet, all is calm inside the Giant Bunny Head; so a yawn creeps up on you, next thing you know is you hear Oh, I think the Easter Bunny is tired which snap you out of this deeper than cat nap snooze. And you see a young girl waving and the mother whisper that to her. So now your brain is like Mister Easter Bunny *kitten* that me (Brain start waving) Ok they are waving and smiling and walking away. Good Whew!!! Then you start wondering Exactly how long, was your sleeping between the last wave and this wave it couldn't have been that long, NAH!!! we are good I'm gon Y-A-W-N stay awake this time
Or Picture This It was about an hour and a half after I became the Easter Bunny, It's time for a water break I can't drink too much while in suit beacuse then I'll have to pee and that would be bad cuz Remeber I'm stuffed into the pants So I'm being escorted to the hall way where I can take a breather and get some water to drink, so I'm barely walking cuz it's large bulk feet and too bulk pants and equally tight pants and WHAM!! out of now where there are 6-pint size minions grabbing your legs and all talking at one time "Hey mister Easter Bunny do you remember meeting me when I was 2?" "Are you going to bring the eggs to us this year at our new house?" "Where is your house Mister Easter Bunny?" "Can I tell you my Christmas List, You know Santa Don't you?" and all you can do is try NOT REPEAT NOT knock over little Sara or Jimmy and give a thumbs up because EASTER BUNNIES DON'T TALK
So that is how yesterday went, Oh and being the Easter Bunny will end up walking 2 miles each day. It's 1 mile to the mall where my job is then, of course, you got to walk the same 1 mile back home. Today is the 11th and I was off work Tomorrow I have to go to work at 9:45 am. Yes! I will more than likely bring home more funny tales of being the Easter Bunny tomorrow as well.
[P.s] yesterday stunt as Easter Bunny I realized that a lot of people just think that under the mask is a Male Human, I'm here to set things straight Females Humans can be bunnies too. Most of all of yesterday that what I Heard Mister Easter Bunny. Which I haven't had any kids yet but I think if I choose to teach them about the Easter bunny Highly Doubtful, as I'm Pagan but if I did I would them to know that girls can be Easter bunnies too.
3/12=351.6 *So yesterday I didn't have to go to work, and we had family over the weekend visiting. At the end of the night, Someone had brought in a leftover slice of pizza and 2 fried mushroom caps, which in turn became my dinner. So today being the Easter Bunny it was super busy until my break then it was like I could hear Crickets (Chirp Chirp). On the plus side, I was slightly way more comfortable than yesterday. Instead of pulling the bunny pants up all the way, I left the front part waistband under my big fluffy tummy role. I don't think I fell asleep any till after 1:30 pm when it got really slow. This whole week should be fast, it's spring break. Whelp!! That it for today, stay tuned for the tomorrow tale of Easter Bunny Stories.
3/13=353.2 *I seem to be hovering between 353 and 351 So yesterday lunch after I got home from work, was super yummy!! I made Maple-Dijon Panko Portobellos. Out of the 4 people that ate myself included all gave it a 4 out of 4 **** in case you didn't know **** is meant to be stars. I never really been a salad person, as I always thought they don't have any flavor or taste well the dressing I made for the side dish.I could have *LICKED THE BOWL CLEAN. Which each meal that I have been making from the meal planning website Meal Planning Website--Cook Smart comes with a side dish. And for $8 a month to get a pre-made shopping list and meals with sides and you can choose from different options such as Gulen Free and Vegetarian as well Oringal and Paleo it's a no-brainer. With my whole family giving me Rav Reviews. I guess we will find out as I have a fancy grilled cheese recipe planned for today. Which if you wanna know how that goes; you will just have to find my post and read about it.
3/14 & 3/15=353.6 & 353.8 * I think I may be stuck in the weight loss area!! So yesterday I walked half of my 2-mile walk for work. Then I took a left home as I volunteered to do a double shift so I could learn how to the sales part of being the whole Easter Bunny. So I took the lyft to the pawn shop and bought a bike and Lesson to be learned=Look at it good before buying It wasn't anything that couldn't be fixed. After the double shift, I came home to make our dinner for the evening. Which was a delish soup called Tom Kha Gai Soup. I didn't put the ginger or lemongrass stalks in it that it called for but out of the 2 other nightly dinner eaters they really loved the soup and you got the hint that it's supposed to a Thai soup flavor it had coconut milk in it as part of the broth. After the double shift, I did and standing up and cooking dinner my lower back would end up pinching my back and make my legs go numb. I slept deep and didn't want to wake up this morning. However, Mother Nature had other plans.
On This Episode of Easter Bunny Tales At this mall I work at, there is an indoor ice skating rink. So yes if you are wondering if someone falls, yes it makes a loud boom sound as people hit the ice. So here I sit as the Easter Bunny and I look over at the ice rink and see this group of 5 girls skating arm in arm. This can only end so badly!. Yep! you guess it it sorta started out as the outer middle 4 girl going down. Followed by a slow motion jerking stop of everyone as this happen girl 2 and 5 fell. So now so now 1 and 3 are half bent over trying not to fall. If you could see a image call to mind A domino chain recation the first went down then the rest followed.

Peaches to Beaches was yesterday, and my friend Sandra came up from my hometown. We spent all day going from one yard sale to another. We did a lot of walking, but we did a lot of eating, too, both sweets, greasy, and salty with little water! Totally enjoyed myself; it was worth every watery pound!
, but back on track, today!
03/12: 210.5
Had an doctor's appt. in ATL this morning, so slow on water intake. Got to pick up the pace!

Would be nice if it came off as quickly as it goes on!
Oh, well, we can't have everything! 
03/14: No scales! My son had emergency surgery for a ruptured spleen! Thank God for being omniscient! We drove all-night and got in Richmond about 9:30 this morning! I packed so fast that I forgot my scales! Not sure when I'll be home!14 -

Back for my 4th round and 3 kgs down. Looking forward to getting in my 64’s by the end of this round.
Day/Weight/Comment
3/9 – 66kgs. Up today from 65.7kgs. Not sure why when I ate within my macro/calories yesterday, lifted and did C25K. Im thinking it might be from the frozen meal I had last night for dinner which contained a lot of sodium? Oh well I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing, and hopefully the weight will fall off still.
3/10 – did not weigh in, but I know I would be a lot heavier due to eating out Friday night! The food was amazing though
3/11 – 66.6kgs. Imagined what I would have been yesterday if I’m still bloated today…
3/12 – 66kgs. Coming back down, but still gotta aim to lose 1.3kgs in 6 days.
3/13 – 65.2kgs . Yes! The bloat is gone!. 500 grams to go.
3/14 – 65.2kgs. I’ve increased my macros/calories from today to accommodate how much I’m exercising. Hopefully that doesn’t slow down my weight loss though!
3/15 – 64.6kgs. Yes! Exceeded round goal by 100grams. So excited. I’m finally in my healthy weight range. It has been so long. New goal for end of this round: 64.4kgs.
3/16 – 64.9kgs. I was bad last night. Had a few extra chips and potato than I should have…That would explain why my weight went up a bit..Either way still below 65!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/9 - 53.8 - daily goal: shamefully failed. I simply forgot that I need to drink something else than just a few little cups of tea... On the bright side, I made a wonderful pizza! It was quite delicious!
3/10 - 53.8 - daily goal: failed, again.
3/11 - 53.7 - Yay! Daily goal: well, I drank something... And, awww, thank you for your hugs! That's so sweet of you, gals and guys! ❤
3/12 - 53.6 - Double yay! Daily goal: not bad! Drank about 500 ml of water and some wonderful herbal tea.
3/13 - 53.7 - No yays for me today, though! Daily goal: let's say completed. BUT I felt depressed again and so slightly overate. Ugh, life can be so sad!
3/14 - 53.4 - Well. I woke up late, and I had a stressful morning, and I had been drinking plenty of water recently, so that's not a miracle, but the natural order of things, right? Anyhow, daily goal: completed. And I felt better! Yes, there're some issues concerning writing my thesis (bad things, actually), and minor health problems, and so on, but the day was rather calm and short, and I wasn't—surprisingly—affected very much by the upsetting side of it. And I did not overeat! Victory!
3/15 - 53.3 - daily goal: completed. ✔ Plus I was sticking to my calories, so thumbs up for me here! ✨10 -

I gained back some weight in 2017 after maintaining my goal for 10 years.
I just started logging food and exercise two days ago. A little accountability and support sounds nice.
3/9 - 177.8 - Customized my goals to reflect the low carb diet I prefer. No weight change.
3/10 -177.8 - still no change in weight. but doing okay.
3/11 -176 - Yay! down 1.8 lbs from the last couple days. Hoping it doesn't go back up.
3/12 -177.4 Still staying under my calories and staying under 55 carbs usually even less. avg around 35
3/13 -176.8 a little loss.. I am slowly inching down. Pleased to see this.
3/14 -175.8 Another loss, very excited to see it and staying on track is getting easier. happy dance!
3/15 -177.0 Whaaaat?
Where did my loss go? Trusting it to go away and I am still almost 1 lb down from the start of this challenge. Sticking to plan and waiting to see what tomorrow brings.

3/9 178.6 well I don't know where my post went from yesterday? I was posting about how happy I am to have a trend tracker, since sometimes that's the only way you can tell you are making progress. Oh well.
3/10 Didn't get a chance to weigh in this morning, ate ok yesterday but had a couple friday night cocktails with my husband. Drinking extra water before bed tonight.
3/11 179. 4 ugh
3/12 180.0 not a number I wanted to see again. Corned beef and cabbage dinner ar the in-laws probably did it. I wrote my plan for tomorrow, and drank all my water for today.
3/13 179.6 again. Sticking to my plan! Maybe the scale will be sweet to me tomorrow. No where near close to my scale goal for this round, so I'm getting my *** in gear over here.
3/14 177.8 ok, this is better. gotta stay AWAY from the 180's!!! I ate on plan yesterday, drank my water, even avoided the strong temptation of a nice bottle of cab calling to me last night. doing the same today! behind on water but that will be remedied shortly. 3.8 lbs from my 10 day goal.. we will see
3/15 177.8 today again. Eating was good yesterday, I did have a glass of wine late last night but it was after an hour at the gym so somewhat mitigated. Made a good enchilada casserole for dinner, light on the cheese and sub greek yogurt instead of sour cream, leftovers for lunch tomorrow too!

Feeling good, after six rounds stuck right around 156, I am finally seeing some progress. Funny, this week I haven't been able to exercise due to being wiped out from a cold, but it seems to have prompted my body to release some weight, maybe do a little reset.

Totally, completely, and in all other ways undeserved! I straight up binged on stale, packaged sweet rolls yesterday (ugh), hardly had any water, and I haven't exercised in a week because I've been sick. I also had a soda for the first time in many months. It's like bizarro weight loss rules. I'm going to start exercising again today. Only .5 lb to the 50 lb mark!
03/13: 152.0
Hiked yesterday and went to TRX tonight. Good on calories.

3/12: 222.5lbs. Good first day on this challenge. Over 10000 steps and a 45 minute weight lifting session. Around 1800 calories for the day.
3/13: 222lbs. Below 2000 calories. 9000 steps and 30 minutes of weight lifting.
3/14: 222.5lbs. Normal weight fluctuations. I ate near maintenance level calories today, after factoring in exercise. I consider that a success since I ate at a Mexican restaurant where calories add up quickly!
3/15: 222.5lbs. Rest day/ no weight training. Walked 9000 steps and ate about 2100 calories.
