08/08: 178.4 Ugh โฆ but I know why.
08/09: 179.0 Double UGH!!! Why? Why canโt I get my act together???
08/10: 179.4 In weight gain free-fall. Canโt 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:
^ This!!! & Iโd add lots of water & tea! Pre-prepped cukes, carrots, red pepper strips with a small container of balsamic vinegar.

8/09 166 Going to start paying better attention to carbs.. my carbs yesterday were under 100 (which is not great) but the few days before were 150's and 160's.

Sometimes water or outside temps or exercise or how much fiber or the scale itself or about 100 other things can effect our scale weight. I also find, as others do, there is often a 2-3 day delay with my scale.
Do you weigh all your food & cook at home?2 -
@MadisonMolly2017 I need to get a food scale, but I do measure everything. For meat I use the palm of my hand as a guide. I cook everything from home, with an exception of occasional meals (such as last night). Its just so easy for me to bloat and swell from too many carbs and processed foods. I must stick with veggies, fruits and lean meats. This is definitely helping me to get to know my body. Thanks for your insight!5

I would really encourage you to get a food scale sooner rather than later. It is scary to really see how far off we can be between what we think that something weighs and what it actually weighs when using a food scale. Using measuring cups, unless it is for liquids, or the palm of your hand isn't really accurate. It will be eye opening and will be really helpful in your weight loss.

CI/CO works very well for me but I have the opposite of a sweet tooth. I actually get a stomach ache if I eat anything with to much sugar, even fruit bothers me. my binge eating is over eating meat. I love a 3 pound prime rib, a gigantic burger, or all u can eat seafood buffets. on days I am trying to loose weight my normal intake of 6-800 calories whiskey really limit my food options to my concoction of veggies with scallops. i don't have to like every meal,4

@AJB1014 - Congratulations on getting to the 180s! It's fun to see that middle numeral change.
@cdavisdeva - No advice here, just a lot of Oh-my-gosh-that-is-exactly-what-is-happening-to-me. I've been hitting calorie marks this round, but often with less than optimal meal choices. In spite of not overconsuming calories and exercising, I'm struggling to maintain, let alone lose, this round. You are not alone in this!
@texasfarmer - Way to stick with it even when the feedback from the scale isn't what you want to see! If we keep at it, I have to believe that the results will come.7 -
Round 47 - SW 158 EW 152.5 (-5.5 lbs)
Round 48 - SW 152.5 EW 150 (-2.5 lbs)
5 '-1"
Round 49 goals: I'm going to stick with 10,000 steps per day and also focus on a small goal related to water consumption. Add 1 glass before I leave the house in the morning and 1 glass before I go to bed.
8/06 - 151. I was inactive and unfocused in my eating yesterday. There was lots of snacking. The first snack was delicious and satisfying. After that, it was just silly. On the bright side, I slept well last night and feel refreshed and on a good path today.
8/07 - 150. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and weights. Ate at the low end of my calorie range yesterday and couldn't seem to get enough to eat this morning. Something to think about in the future.
8/08 - 151. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and kettlebell squats and swings. I watched a bunch of videos to remind me of proper form for the swing. I'm not sure I got it just right, but swinging that weight around was pretty fun. My unstated goal of seeing the last of the 150s this round is looking more challenging than I would have thought, but nothing to do but keep at it!
8/09 - 151. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and weight lifting. Ate three real meals yesterday instead of snacking my way through at least one of them and met my protein goal for the first time in a while. I felt good about that and was expecting to see the scale move down a little this morning. Maybe tomorrow?
8/10 - 150 - 21,000 steps. Looking forward to a 20+ mile bike ride to a winery for a concert tonight. Hoping, hoping, hoping to see something lower than 150 on the scale this weekend.

@taxgirl1 thanks! It probably would benefit me to get a scale. I under measure everything a little because I know that measuring your food isn't always accurate. (packed flour v/s sifted flour for example). I had really good success in the previous 2 rounds (which were my 1st two). I was eating a salad almost every day and tried to get 1 or 2 more servings in green veggies per day. It really does matter what foods you put in your body (for me). I know the weight loss slows down the closer you get to your goal also! It's really nice not having to do this alone ๐4

8/06- Holiday weekend, just needed some rest, 2more treatments of radiation. Even my steps are down, going to pick up tomorrow.
8/07- picked up on my steps today, tried stretching. Eating healthy.

In for my 6th Round!
Round 44 End Weight = 165.8 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 45 End Weight = 164.9 (0.9 lbs lost)
Round 46 End Weight = 159.6 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 47 End Weight = 157.2 (2.4 lbs lost)
Round 48 End Weight = 155.2 (2.0 lbs lost)
Stats = 5'4 female, age 48
Highest Weight = 172 lbs
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)
Round 49 Goal: to be in the 153's
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in week 3-4 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/weekday
Nutrition Plan = Continue to limit gluten, dairy, sugar, diet soda, alcohol & eat non-processed foods, protein/fruit/veg at every meal, complex carbs at breakfast and post workout meal, drink plenty of water.
8/06 - Weight = 155.2 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday was one of those days where you are super busy, but just don't feel like you get anything done. Somehow it was 6:00 p.m. and I hadn't even worked out, so I got my day 17 of 90 exercises in which was a really fun one: Down Dog Flow, Alternating Squat Lunges, Fighter Combo: Jab/ Cross/Jab/Knee, Reverse Table Top Triceps Dips, Prisoner Squats, Total Core Domination: V-Sit Ups Rolled to Supermans and Roll Back/Repeat), & Surfer Pop Ups. At the end I was super sweaty and so thought might as well go for a run, I can't get any hotter. It was still hovering around 90 but I was able to get a quick run in. Dinner last night was gluten-heavy, which I limit and only have maybe once a week. It was delicious but I felt like a brick was sitting in my stomach after, even though I was well within my calories. It just isn't worth it. I also had a realization yesterday, I've lost 16 pounds so far and have 16 more to go to be at my initial goal weight - Hooray! for the half-way point. Let's start this round off strong everyone
8/07 - Weight = 155.2 (no change, 3rd day in a row at this weight) So, my scale give me all sorts of info including water weight percentage and this morning it was up over a point from where it normally is. I am also still very sore from from Sunday's workout, so I think this static weight number is definitely my little muscle tears holding in a little excess water. I'm going to continue to drink a lot of water and foam roll my legs today and see what tomorrow brings. Yesterday my day 18 of 90 exercises was yoga and it was a flow that I did on day 11 of the original 30 day challenge. Interesting to see some strength gains from the 1st time I did it. There was 1 move where you go from down dog, lifting 1 leg up and to the side and then twist your body to that direction and raise 1 arm up - I can do that now and I remember before I had to modify it. Yay, for seeing improvements!!
8/08 - Weight = 154.8 (down .4 from yesterday) I can feel my stress management declining a bit, feeling a little snippy with my family the past 2 days. I'm still not sleeping well and then the stress creeps in and healthy food choices start to slide, and then you don't want to exercise. It's a slippery slope, friends! But I'm not falling for it Today is a rest day in my exercise challenge, I'm going to do a little self care and work on getting my stress in check and hope for some better sleeping tonight. My nutrition and exercise are still on point. I completed day 19 of 90 exercises yesterday which focused on the posterior chain, still super weak in that area, + legs/booty , where I am definitely seeing much improvement. I am heading out of town on Friday & will take my scale with me and continue to check in. We are going to NY to see family, I'll stay just for the weekend and then come back home but my daughter will be spending the week there with her cousins. This will be the longest time we have ever spent apart but I think it will be good for both of us. I'll miss her tons, and probably worry a lot, but looking forward to a week of all "me" time.
8/09 - Weight = 153.9 (down 0.9 from yesterday) Wasn't expecting this number on the scale today, but happy to see it! I enjoyed my rest day yesterday and went to a spa for massage and pedicure. Lovely day! Busy, busy day today, I've got a ton to do at work, at home, & running errands to get ready to leave town tomorrow. Plus, have my day 21 exercises to complete and this a hard workout, will be sweating buckets with this one. In my 90 day challenge, there is a 5-day mini challenge within the challenge that was supposed to start yesterday but I have pushed that off until Monday when I get back home and can focus better on it. The mini challenge is a nutrition one, so I kind of need to be in my own kitchen for it. Hope everyone has a great day today..."Today is your day. Start fresh. Eat right. Train hard. Live healthy. Be proud."
8/10 Weight = 153.7 (down .2 from yesterday) Left for vacation this morning but before that I got in day 22 of 90 exercises. I've been dreading this one because it has a wall handstand in it, was so nervous about this but guess what - I did it! I've got my scale with me and have a feeling it might go up tomorrow as I'm feeling a little bloated after dinner this evening. We went out to a gourmet pizza place & I had a gluten-free white pizza with Brussels sprouts, bacon, & honey drizzle. I have no idea the calories but I logged it the best I could. It was a 12" pizza with about 8 slices, I ate 3 slices when I really felt full after 2, oh well. I Had 1 glass of wine and opted out when everyone went to get gelato after dinner. Not even tempted by sweets, I'm a salty foods gal. It is supposed to rain tomorrow, so I likely won't be able to get a run in but will try to fit in some yoga. Have a great weekend!

8/06 84.2 kg (185.6 lbs)
Yesterday I kinda overate, however, I started to go to a gym. It's a really big step for me. I hope I'll lose easier.
8/07 84.2 kg (185.6 lbs)
Again binge eating... But I went to the gym, kinda ok.
8/08 83.7 kg (184.5 lbs)
Yay! I'm really happy. Yesterday wasn't very good because I ate less food but a chocolate cake... However, I walked 10k steps and also workout at the gym for an hour! I'm really motivated for the gym. Today will be my 4th day at the gym and I'm going there right now 4th time... But still I want chocolate because I'm really stressful these days and very pessimistic about everything.

I couldn't write these days, even I weigh myself. I was really stressed having bad days because of some personal problems. Yesterday I drank kinda a lot, 2 weeks ago I decided not to drink just social drinking if I feel like. Bet yesterday, I drank alone because I couldn't stand some emotions and ideas. And also I ate junk food and I binged. That's why I didn't want to weight myself today. I don't want to demotivate myself with some numbers. I'm going on.

Hi everyone - newish to this challenge (not to MFP!) and a bit late to this round... Goal for this round is to FINALLY get under 80 kg bc it is just way too high of a number for me and I am fed up with it. And I love the accountability this challenge gives me!
Day/Weight/Comment
8/06 80.8 kg (178.1 lbs)- down from the weekend, happy with this as it means I managed to stay within calories but still managed to enjoy myself.
8/07 80.6 kg (177.7 lbs) - another drop... Have to keep on keeping on! Planning to workout this afternoon but it is going to be SUPER hot so I don't know how motivated I will be. Have to remember to hydrate in any case!
8/08 80.5 kg (177.5ish lbs) - slow and steady! Gym was good yesterday, upper body workout, not too much cardio involved which was fine because it was SO humid and warm. Finally rained last night, I feel like I can breathe again.
8/09 80.5 kg -same as yesterday. Felt really bad yesterday morning, don't know why, probably heat and lack of sleep. Did stay within calories. Feeling a bit better today, so that's good.
8/10 81.1 kg - ugh. just, ugh. I guess this is to be expected bc I worked out hard yesterday and though I stayed within calories, working out gave me a lot more calories to play with so I ate a relatively large amount of food. But still, meh. Hope the combination of bloating and food baby goes away soon, but with the weekend coming up I am not so sure...
8/11 81.1 kg - felt lousy all day and didn't make the best choices - not the worst either, but def not the best - so I am just glad it's not worse.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
