Day/Weight/Comment
08/06 183.0 A nice way to begin the round. I wasn't expecting a drop. I was tired and sedentary all day. I couldn't figure out why, until this morning. I never did take my meds yesterday. It seems to be a long weekend thing - I will have to be more mindful come labour day.
08/07 184.2 A good day yesterday. Took my boys to the movies and then a nice long walk. Dinner was late but calories were on target. I.m not worried about the uptick - it will work its way out.
08/08 184 A good day yesterday lots of walking - i did fall and land heavily on my knee and this morning it is stiff and sounds like Velcro ripping when i bend it. It's also pouring rain outside - so less walking today -that's OK more time for needlework - although the piece i.m working on is just as grey as the rain!
08/09 183.1 100 days on MFP and 17 lbs lost. The plan right now is to stay in weight loss mode for another 100 days and then re-assess. I may switch to maintenance for the winter.
08/10 182.2 My workout buddy is on vacation, so I am going to start the day with a long walk instead.

8/06 177.8// My goal for this challenge is to get down to the 174’s. My lowest weight last challenge was 175.4 and I know that I’m retaining a lot of water today. I have a lot planned for this week but I know that I can stay under calories and hydrate.
8/07 175.4// This just shows that the weight from yesterday was just water weight, this was my last weigh-in and I’m hoping to decrease this number. This week ended up being a little chaotic and I have plans to do some sort of work-out every day/evening.
8/08 176// A little disappointing, but I’ll just do better today. I drank a lot of water yesterday, but went over my calorie goals.
8/09 175.6// a loss is good. We’re going out to dinner tonight for a graduation celebration. The place specializes in grilled cheese, so I’m going to try to get a more plain grilled cheese as a treat and then eat a salad. I’m not expecting a loss tomorrow, but I’m trying to be good other than dinner today.
8/10 175.6// Holding steady which is better than a gain.

8/07 - 180.2
8/08 - 179.6 Nothing to say, just trying to get back to where I was a few weeks ago. Slowly but surely...
8/09 - 179.6 TOM snuck up on me but I will not be defeated!
8/10 - 179.8 I was careless with my calories yesterday. First half of the day was great but then I snacked on chocolate in the afternoon--too much chocolate. I'm blaming TOM. Went to dinner with coworkers and probably would have been close to my calories if it wasn't for that afternoon snack attack. I also missed my regular Pilates class last night to go to dinner; I just started this new position on Monday and my new coworkers wanted to take me to dinner, so I was obligated to say yes. Just means I need to work hard this weekend!

Day/Weight/Comment
•8/6 - 186.2 - Early weigh in. - This morning, I reviewed my weigh ins from the last round. My weight was all over the place. 188.2, 187.8, 187, 186.8, 186.4, 185.6, 185.2. That is not usual for me. I'm expecting that my weigh ins this round will compensate for the weights I bypassed. Those lovely increments. Today's weight for example.
We shall see. 9 more days to go. 186 was my weight in early 2015. I was doing very well on the way to my goal of 150lbs, when I decided to try eating grains again. Bad, bad idea.
•8/7 - 186.6 - Early weigh in. Maybe I am through with the 186's now? 186.8, 186.4, 186.2 This weight completes the increments set.
•8/8 - 185.6 - Okay. Let's count'em down. I was here and .2 last round so, maybe I skip .8 altogether? If so, one to go and one to revisit.
• 8/9 - 185 -
- Lol. I still have six days
•8/10 - 185.4- Lol, there it is. If no point 8 this week, then this set is complete. A VERY carby day yesterday, courtesy of some pre-made store bought meatballs. 52g carbs, 41g net carbs

Goals
1. stay under calorie goal and tweek meals - the last week of the last challenge I had work that interfered with this.
2. up water intake - slowly improving here
3. increase exercise - the last week of the last challenge work and a Mariners game interfered but I went to the gym on another day to make up for some of that.
4. get enough sleep - I think a little improvement here

8/06 - 253.8...very surprised to still see this number, really thought I would have a gain. I had a horrible day yesterday, I don't think I drank any water and I ate my weight in sweets. I don't know why I did it, I was feeling so good about my drop and even had someone compliment me on my loss. I swear I'm trying to sabotage myself 🙁
8/07 - 253.8... had a good day yesterday! Stayed under calories, drank lots of water and did strength training and cardio at the gym
8/08 - 255.4...went over calories and ate a big meal late
8/09 - 255.4...yesterday I stayed under calories and did a walk. Wasn't able to get to the gym because my little gym had a bad night (I go after he's asleep). I didn't get enough water either, I had planned to drink more at the gym lol.
8/10 - 255.4...did everything wrong yesterday and was too tired to get to the gym. Have to get back on track today.

@back2cute this happens to me too...it can be a spiral, like the behaviour is a ball of velcro and takes me down. Sending you hugs! You have made good progress, maybe lighten up on yourself and acknowledge that you are doing better than before. That's a great thing!7 -

So much for feeling better on the anti-inflammatory plan - today I'm hurting all over. But I'm sticking with it - I know it takes at least a few weeks for dietary changes to make a difference. I managed to work in my garden for a while yesterday, dead heading flowers & other smallish jobs. I'm going for a walk now, before it gets too hot. Walking does seem to help a little.
8/07 - 146.4 - 1112 - 10-day ave 1344
Eating mostly veggies with some fruit, fish, eggs, nuts. I slept a lot of yesterday, which did seem to help the pain a little. Today is rainy, so I guess I'll be walking indoors.
8/08 - 145.6 - 1268 - 10-day ave 1306
The good news is I'm losing weight on my anti-inflammatory diet. The bad news is I hurt all over. Got blood work back for array of auto-immune issues - all negative, thankfully, but something's going on. I keep pushing myself to walk, but mostly I don't feel like doing much. Whine.
8/09 - 146 - 1072 - 10-day ave 1265
Just wasn't hungry yesterday, but I'll push for more calories today. Never thought I'd say that!
8/10 - 145.2 - 1080 - 1-day ave 1248
Another lots-of-veggies not-very-hungry day with low calories. I'm off to see a rheumatologist this morning (and - more promising to me - an integrative medicine doctor next week) to try to get a handle on my pain, and afterward we're going to try a new-to-us vegan/vegetarian restaurant my hubby spotted. They have a very interesting menu and I plan to EAT. :-) I am happy about my downward weight trend, though, since cutting out bread and pasta and meat other than fish. Have a lovely weekend, all!

8/6 / 225.4 / Goodness, I'm retaining water like crazy. But I'm eating well and it will all shake out in the end!
8/7 / 223.6 / That's better. As part of another challenge, I did cardio and jumping jacks and drank SO MUCH WATER yesterday. Note to self: Do not drink a lot of water and then do jumping jacks.
8/8 / 225.2 / That one is a bit of a surprise. Hmm. I am back to tight rings and retaining water. But I'm still eating well, still getting my butt moving. Jumping jacks, crunches, and water, along with something that will amuse people of around my age: I decided to dance yesterday as a workout so I learned how to do the Hustle! I was a line dance of ONE.
8/9 / 224.2 / Bouncy bouncy! Still eating well, still exercising. Jumping jacks, crunches, 3 miles walking, and water.
8/10 / 227 / Goodness gracious! Well, I am a broken record but... still eating well, still exercising. Crunches, a boxing workout, a krav maga workout, and more line dancing. Lots of water. I am a little sore across my shoulders, but in a good way. I'm in a great mental space and bouncing around the scale is something to talk about not something to panic about. 17 -

8/05-191.2
8/06 - Monday - 192.8 - Late night emotional eating got me last night. Got a little overwhelmed by all the boxes and moving and change and just mindlessly snacked on anything I could get my hands on after dinner. Logged it all and moving on today. TOM still imminent. Chocolate cravings are slightly less thanks to magnesium lotion. But I'm pretty moody and letting my food choices get the better of me. Lots of water today! I did manage to make dinner for tonight while food prepping last night. It will also be lunch for tomorrow. I know I'm stressing because I woke up with a costochondroiditis flare up - aka feels like an elephant sitting on my chest. And my sciatica flared up yesterday but that is feeling better today. But man, stress really does manifest itself physically for me if I'm not mindful! Taking today and tomorrow relatively easy while we await more moving boxes to be delivered and final word on closing date. I'm really happy I feel physically fit enough to do the move ourselves - 4 months ago I would have laughed at the thought.
8/07 - Tuesday - 192.4 - Well yesterday was fun. Had a full blown anxiety attack in the car out of the blue. Tried some self soothing techniques in the car, but with my painful chest it got to the point I couldn't catch my breath and I was beyond help for about 5 minutes. It was not fun - thank goodness DH was driving. It's funny to me that I'm in a better head space than I have been in a long time but my body insisted on a meltdown. Took some kava tincture when I got home and it helped big time. Emotionally ate a PB&J. Feeling a bit better today. Closing is scheduled! Many stressful days ahead so I REALLY need to be mindful, kind to myself, and as prepared as I can be moving. Had protein shake, brought lunch and chicken defrosting for dinner - still heading in the direction of my dreams!
8/08 - Wednesday - 190.8 - The heat was brutal yesterday. We grilled chicken thighs for dinner but I just had no appetite - so we saved those for lunch today and had some snacks later in the evening when I was a little hungry. Thought about eating a meal just to eat a meal but I just couldnt stomach it so I had some calorie dense salami and cheese - calories were not bad at days end. I feel better today - good morning with protein shake, packed lunches, and I can cook something for dinner - pigs in a blanket probably. The next few weeks I am on a strict financial diet too. I've been practicing small habits over the past few months; no coffee drive thru except Sunday, no take out for lunch, and only one take out/week at most. I'm going to extend that to no clothes shopping for the next month (at least - trying to hold out for a whole new wardrobe come spring). I also want to stick to a strict(er) grocery budget - we typically spend $100/week for 2 people including all home products too (toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc) but I think I can realistically get it more towards $75 on the regular with some smarter shopping. I'm realizing that the next few weeks my priorities are going to shift to 1. mental health, 2. finances, and 3. Healthy eating. This is OKAY, this is GOOD, this is preparing! I've been so focused on the healthy eating and I've been lucky and privileged to be able to do so without much hinderance or distraction, and every opportunity to buy what I need to help me along. I will absolutely be continuing with my habits, but I'm trying to be realistic in what to expect in the next few months moving into a new house - being as on point as I have been will probably be hard, so I will NOT beat myself up over it. Trusting the process more than ever now and excited to build more healthy habits in all aspects of life.
8/09 - Thursday - 190.4 - Got a good amount done yesterday. I made a packing station with boxes and supplies, purged the pantry (of under used accessories - food purge will be another day), and DH did the back hall! Another car load of stuff to the dumpster/donation bin. I prelogged dinner - I was full about half way thru it but I just kept eating because "I had room in my calories." I finished eating and was like ugggh why did I eat all that - so that was a lesson is paying better attention to my hunger/full ques. Took some french apple sausage out of the freezer - no idea what to do with it - but dinner at home! I was originally thinking stuffed zucchini or other fresh veg - but don't have any of that! I'll figure it out. Leftovers from yesterdays lunch I didnt finish. Had protein shake for breakfast and woke up 20 minutes earlier - progress!
8/10 - Friday - 189.0 - Ahhhhhhhh!!! HELLO 180's! I'm sure I'll be bouncing back and forth from 190's for a bit longer but how exciting to see a new set of 10's! Went to the lake last night - had enough thought to eat a snack before I left. Ate pasta and salad up there. PB&J at home. Not a lot of headway on the house last night but the rest day was lovely. Didnt cook my french apple sausage last night but I look forward to this recipe this evening - https://iowagirleats.com/2013/10/14/sweet-apple-chicken-sausage-pasta/ . I really wanted to believe we had nothing to bring for lunch today so we needed to get a steak and cheese, but realized that is false and packed my quinoa cup and tuna
and reminded myself that I NEED to cook that meat tonight so no ordering out tonight either! Yay! Sticking to my food changes and financial changes!

8/09 - 215.8 lbs - I've been eating too much in the morning and skipping lunch. I need to balance meals.
@VermontDan Why? Are you overly hungry and wanting to snack before dinner? If so then I agree, Less calories for breakfast and eating lunch may be the better approach. If you're staying within your daily calorie deficit and not overly hungry prior to dinner then I don't see a problem. Spreading your calories over 2 meals per day is just as healthy as 3.
@AJB1014 If a big dinner satisfies and you maintain your daily calorie deficit, then keep up the good work.8 -

8/06- 227.2 Yikes. Didn’t get to check in the last two days and late weigh in yesterday giving me a round end of 225.6. I thought that was bad enough given I was logging 223s. Today the weekend continues to catch up with me. I know I didn’t gain 1.6lbs overnight but it’s a hard pill to swallow. It’s messing with my head so much I even considered sitting out this round. I’m here though. Hopefully the water retention will work itself or the next two days.
8/07- 227.4 Boo! What is going on here??
8/08- 225.8 Scale finally moved in the correct direction but I’m beginning to make poor food choices. Need to dig myself out of this rut.

08/10: 179.4 In weight gain free-fall. Can’t stop eating junk.
@back2cute I understand exactly how you feel. My results in the last 4 rounds clearly testifies.
Take a look at your weekly averages and your daily eating patterns. When are you overeating/mindless munching/just don't care eating?
Is it boredom/emotional eating? Maybe an activity (walk, yoga class, crochet/knit, dance) or relaxation session (meditation, bubble bath, sauna) can distract you. Choose an activity that makes eating too difficult.
Is it opportunity eating, as in "out in plain sight/calling from the pantry like a siren's song?" Remove the food from your space or remove yourself from the food space. I can't be near potlucks at work nor can I have junk food in my home. There is no "off" button.
The key is to discover your trigger(s) and set yourself up for success by avoiding them.
Hope this helps. :flowerforyou:10 -

@cdavisdeva Why is hitting under 100g of carbohydrates not good? It sounds as if you want them higher, yes? Color me confused (again.)
@Bendiz_ I’m a burger eater, too. Three times a day, if I could. Order the burger without the bun and since they usually come with lettuce and tomato, ask for some dressing on the side (mini salad) unless they will sub a small salad for fries. I typically eat one or two of my husbands fries but they never taste that good.
@biketheworld After effect of movie popcorn, in my experience. 2 day delay.9 -

I'm back...I was away for the last couple of rounds. My kitchen has been under renovation since the first week of July and I have been without a kitchen and in an upheaval since then. I have basically been eating at maintenance as I lived through the renovation. Considering all the stress and the difficulty in making meals, I am happy to say that I am basically at the same weight now as when I started the renovation. Even though the kitchen won't be completed until tomorrow, YAAAAA!!!, and we still have to get the kitchen organized, I am ready to get back at losing. (I thought I had posted yesterday, but I can't find my post.)
Goals:
1. Beat sister-in-law in weekly step competition
2. Do some form of intentional exercise 7 of 10 days (5/7)
3. Get water in
Day/Weight/Comment
08/06--222.8 Went to the in-laws this weekend, so there is definitely an uptick due to increased sodium from eating out. The positive is that my sister-in-law and I, we both have Garmin watches, are now in a weekly step competition with each other, so that will definitely be a motivation to get more steps in this week. I'm going out for a walk at lunch and then Zumba tonight. Making sure to get my water in today.
08/07--221.3 Got to use the fridge in the kitchen yesterday! Who knew these small things in life could be so exciting. Today is the last day of kitchen renovations and tonight I will be able to use the stove for the first time in 33 days. Went to Zumba last night and so far I am ahead of my sister-in-law in the steps competition. I will go out for a walk at lunch again today, but as tonight I will mainly be spending my time going food shopping and organizing the kitchen I'm not sure how many steps I will be getting in today.
08/08--220.6 Sister-in-law is currently about 100 steps ahead of me, so the competition is tight. Was hoping to organize the kitchen last night, but quickly realized what a daunting task that was and quickly lost motivation. I did organize the utensils, so I'll take that as an accomplishment and will do some more work this evening. Tonight is yoga and with the mini heat wave we are having in the PNW, not sure how much extra walking I will be able to get in tonight; however, I will go out for a walk at lunch when the weather isn't so bad.
08/09--220.0 Yoga was great last night. Sister-in-law is currently 5k steps ahead of me, ARGHHH!!! Today is the last day of the heat wave, so I plan to walk at lunch again and depending on how bad the weather is tonight I plan on going for a long walk tonight. Still working on organizing the kitchen, but considering how hot it will be inside the house this evening not sure how much organizing I will be doing.
08/10--220.4 Did not get a chance to walk during lunch, work got busy. Also, didn't walk in the evening as the heat was still bad. Sister-in-law is now 9K steps ahead of me with 3 days to go, she lives about 2 hours away and it is always a few degrees cooler where she lives. Luckily the heat wave has broken and I will be a walking machine over the next 3 days. I will walk at lunch and then take the dog out for a long walk this evening. Last night I unpacked 4 boxes of kitchen stuff, 1 more box to go, and placed most of the stuff on the kitchen counter while I tried to figure out where to put everything and what to throw out. I packed away about 1/2 of the stuff before I lost motivation, so my counters are still covered with kitchen stuff. I will finish the rest tonight and over the weekend. Last night I was so excited to find my kettle while I was packing things away. So, last night I had my first cup of tea in over 6 weeks. Then my husband unexpectedly decided to make us some lemon blueberry scones, he has been wanting to try out the new stove. Tea and homemade scones made a great evening.

@quiltingjaine I worded it wrong. I want my carbs to be as low as possible because I've noticed when they are around 100 or higher I feel bad and its harder for me to lose.4

@missm2 Congratulations!
@Bendiz_ and @cdavisdeva Your statement is the perfect example of why straight CI/CO doesn’t work. It matters where those calories come from. 200 calories of chocolate are not the same as 200 calories of broccoli.
@cdavisdeva I wondered if that was what you meant.3
