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!

diuretics. Make a tea of about 8 crushed parsley leaves in one cup of hot water. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Let it cool to warm. You can drink it as is or add lemon juice. Just as effective is adding parsley to your salad. Also, hot lemon water first thing in the morning will help you shed extra fluid.
Thank you!2 -

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16: 70.1 - Okay okay, I've been putting off posting here today because the number is higher than I would like. Pretty sure it's just a fluctuation, completely normal and nothing to worry about. I say: worrying. Anyway, an okay day yesterday. Ate fine, but had a packaged wrap for lunch and Chinese takeaway for dinner. Both salty and would which pretty much explain gain on the scales this morning. Takeaway is always hard to account for, so I hope that I've over estimated, but I could well have underestimated. Also did a bunch of scraping wallpaper glue off the walls which probably would burn some of those potentially extra calories but I have no idea how to log those, so I've not bothered. Can't believe I'm over half way through my maintenance week already.
8/17: 69.6 - Well, that's more like it, very much on track to maintain well this week. Difficult day yesterday, spent quite some time being very nervous about the interview I had today (it went well I think) and so food thoughts were not my top priority. Drank plenty of water in a hope of sorting out the saltiness of the previous day. Food wise, a slightly odd day. Not hungry at all in the morning, so had a protein bar I keep in my desk for snacks at around 10:30 (way later than normal). Then ate leftover takeaway with some rice for lunch, which felt like it should've been more filling than it was, but was enjoyable to eat. Then was ravenous when I got home and so ate what ended up being a modest sized dinner fairly early then wasn't very hungry for the rest of the evening. In fact I had to munch on a packet of crisps to get me close to my goal allowance. Still a little under, but only just.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 155.2 Weak start as far as my eating yesterday for this challenge as I overindulged and did not track my meal last night, but it was good. I expect a bump up tomorrow from the carbs (rice, garlic bread, alcohol, ice cream)
8/17 156.2 Yesterday another wth day, ate well all day until after dinner toast with butter, ice cream, basically a binge. Not really sure what is going on, but if I had to guess I would say...I am feeling bored and am seeking "variety" through eating, plus that "full" feeling when you eat a lot of carbs. As I was eating the ice cream it didn't even taste that good or satisfy, but I finished it anyway. I guess it's why I am here. It's hard sometimes to deal with the relationship with food. It's not like we can go cold turkey and stop eating. One day at a time.

8/16 - 127.0 - Yesterday under maintenance calories, clear enough after work to run; so I settled for am introductory 2 miles, then discovered I had the wrong key and ran 1.5 more.
8/17 - 128.4 - Yesterday not a day of power.7 -
I'll try & join you! It's my first time here.
Day 1 (8/16) : morning weight 55.8 kg (organized a bbq the day before, binge eaten my way through the day, and went to bed with my stomach in pain, poor sleep quality, a disaster to keep it simple. On the 16 I went to the gym for one hour, great time. I was on a night shift, I ate a couple of candies to stay motivated, ended up eating a whole mac flurry after a huge dinner/breakfast at 2 am.
Day 2 (8/17) : 10 am : 54.5 kg. Had comfort food after the night shift : a peace of chocolate zucchini cake & a handful of almonds. Went swimming 2.5 km, felt really great. I'm going to a bbq tonight, I'll keep this post in mind to avoid gulping.

R49--AW: 220.7 EW: 221.3
Goals:
1. Scheduled Activity 7/10 days
2. Get water in
Day/Weight/Comment
8/16--220.4. This is why I find weighing everyday very helpful. Looking back at my weight from last round I now know that water weight from my excessive carb snacking took 2 days to show up on the scale and 1 day to go away. Now for the next time this happens, because at some point it will happen again, I now know not to stress over the temporary water weight gain. Now tonight is dinner and a movie, so I know there will be a temporary gain, but to help reduce some of the water weight gain my game plan is to eat lighter before dinner, drink only water including during dinner, plan what I will eat for dinner ahead of time, and take the dog out for a walk when I get back from the movie (the air here is starting to clear up).
8/17--220.4 I am happy to say that other than taking 3 sips from my husband's drink at dinner, I did everything that I had planned to do. I didn't want to take the dog out for a walk after the movie, but then I knew that I had posted it here yesterday, so I went out for the walk and I am happy that I did. I call yesterday a NSV.

8/16 / 248.8 / Rolled back into my town last night. The drive from Alaska was wonderful, but obviously a lot of sitting on my kiester. I did eat to plan about 70% of the time. I figure these 3.4 pounds should come off pretty easily, and then it will be back to the grind.

ROUND 8 FOR ME - Female 58 yrs old 5’ 5” Midwest USA
………We are fierce and so we fight………
Goals: 1. To be an inspiration to my 22 year old Autistic son who started his weight loss journey on May 1, 2018 weighing 308.4 . (He weighs in about once per week- 10 days)
2. Big Goal this round: Break the barrier and hit 179.8 (3 lb. loss)
3. No Bingeing
4. No “cheat days” only occasional “Earn Meals” which are easier to recover from.
5. 10,000 steps per day. Mixed modes of exercise.
6. Lots of water, green tea daily, apple cider vinegar before carby meals.
7. Check my blood sugar daily for improvements.
MY STATS:
Original starting weight: 235 lbs. on 1/11/18
R43 SW= 193.8 EW= 195.6 +1.8 lbs Gain
R44 SW= 195.6 EW= 192.4 - 3.2 lbs Loss
R45 SW= 192.4 EW= 191.4 -1.0 lbs Loss
R46 SW= 191.4 EW= 186.0 -4.4 lbs Loss
R47 SW= 186.0 EW= 186.8 +0.8 lbs Gain
R48 SW= 186.8 EW= 185.4 -1.4 lbs Loss
R49 SW= 185.4 EW= 182.8 -2.6 lbs Loss
R50 SW= 182.8 EW= TBD

8/16 - 182.6 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 14 Net Carbs. 1269 / 2442 Calories Out. 8,771 Steps and 3.71 total miles. 12/13 (250) fitbit steps hours. Intermittent fasted 16:8
8/17 - 179.8 Whoosh……. Wow! Imagine if it really stuck! YESTERDAY’S STATS: 14 Net Carbs. 1061 Calories In / 3308 Calories Out. 15,370 total steps and 6.5 total miles for the day including a 1.5 mile walk in neighborhood in which I convinced my son to join me (he does grudgingly sometimes). 13/13 (250 fitbit steps). I intermittent fasted 20:4 which is a testament to how well my sugar numbers are coming down (no weakness or faintness). I usually do 16:8 but was delayed due to being so busy with work yesterday. I expected with my good stats I would see a bump down in weight but this is a nice surprise. My son weighed in at 285.0 again which is no change. He is still down 23.4 lbs. I found out that he has been cheating and had an inspirational talk with him (communication can be tough sometimes with his Autism). That explains his willingness to walk (after our talk). I hope he is back on track.

8/16..138.2.. Got sick with what I think was food poisoning last night, still not at 100%. Scale will probably go back up tomorrow when I feel like I can eat again 🤢
8/17..138.8.. I was able to eat again yesterday, and actually ended up getting chipotle last night. I’ve been doing so well eating at home and not going out, so was bummed I gave into temptation. However, after after the night I had before I gave myself a pass. Back to being hydrated and I’m shocked the scale didn’t go up more than it did. Pretty happy overall. 😊
