SW Round 51: 128
I know that seems pretty good (and it IS! I was 152 when I started MFP) but my low weight has been 120, and I'm determined to get there again...it felt great! In fact, my UG is 115... with muscles (!!)
OK -- I will see how far I can get this round! I think this Just Give Me 10 Days is very motivating! Eat your greens everyone....
9/5/18 -- 128
9/6/18 -- 128 -- no change -- but I'm doing power yoga tonight, and I WILL sweat!
9/7/18 -- ?? Celebrating 32nd wedding anniversary -- didn't even weigh in! LOL!!!
9/8/18 -- 127.6 FOR TRUTH! Even had Creme Brulee and beautiful Cabernet from Canadian winery!
9/9/18 -- 126.4 this morning! It was the silent disco my husband and I went to last night (NOT KIDDING! It was at a music festival -- many stages -- and great bands -- AND we got to dance with the college kiddos in a silent disco....my new love!! ) See y'all tomorrow!
9/10 -- weighed in at 127.0 this a.m. Not surprised -- football parties and snacking/beer did me in a little --but I did go to power yoga class which is why it's just a little up -- I'll take it. Will be back to 126 tomorrow. Busy day ahead and no football parties (or Guinness!)
9/11 -- 126.4 I lied. Went out to hear a friend's band (they were GREAT!) and had a Guinness (a very large Guinness, too! )....oh well -- still down today. Power yoga tonight ....I'm going to make it to 125 this round!
9/12 - no change!
9/13 -- No change AGAIN -- and I thought this would be easy -- HA! BTW - I could spend all day reading these posts! You guys are amazing! One more day to lose that .5 and get the 125....
9/14-- 126.4 still... but I finished this round with a -1.6 loss! Next Round!!14 -
ROUND - 52
9/5 = 190.0 Really need to kick this up a notch. Hovering around the 190 mark just isn't cutting it.
9/6 = 189.6 Off to a good start. Will need to be very diligent in order to have a loss on Tuesday.
9/7 = 190.0
9/8 = N / A
9/9 = N / A
9/10 = 190.2
9/11 = 191.8
9/12 = 191.2
9/13 = 191.2
9/14 = 190.8
My official weekly weigh in, is Tuesday evening @ TOPS, so my ticker tape will reflect that loss.
My daily weight is on my home scale, so I can monitor how my week is going.
My ultimate goal is 175lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

Hot day coming up here, but beautiful and clear. It will be cold soon enough, so I'm enjoying the sun and heat. I put together a bag of clothes that no longer fit (and a few things that no longer make me happy) and I'll be taking those to a local women's shelter today or tomorrow. All good!
9/06 - 142 - 1136 - 10-day ave 1227
There's the bump I expected yesterday from Monday's splurge. My moving average is 141.2. All good.
9/07 - 140.8 - 1000 - 10-day ave 1198
I'm excited to see that zero, even with a big decimal! Going to a potluck this evening but we're taking a shrimp plate, so at least I can eat that. Have a great weekend, all!
9/08 - 141 - 1185 - 10-day ave 1218
I made a stab at entering calories from the potluck. Happily, there was plenty of food I could eat (I was afraid I'd get 2 pieces of shrimp and a few baby carrots!). But no, I was quite full by the end. I'm making the most of the weekend as things get crazy this week - teaching a new writing class, taking a new class, integrative doctor & dietitian appointments, on top of usual work (writing). I'm still debating buying a standing desk -- anyone here use one? I may just take my laptop to Office Depot and ask if I can stand there and type for a while to see if I like it.

I see this last pound is going to be tough to lose. That's ok - I'm just as stubborn.
9/10 - 140.6 - 1202 - 10-day ave 1229
Creeping down.... It's chilly and rainy here, so I'm off to the Y later to walk. I am looking forward to beautiful autumn days - October is my favorite month.
9/11 - 140.6 - 1254 - 10-day ave 1230
My Monday & Tuesday meal schedules are messed up for the next 6 weeks due to evening classes (taking one, teaching one). I'm trying to eat a big lunch to hold me until I get home around 9, then have some fruit, but last night I came home really hungry. Maybe I'll try a decent lunch and a light supper around 4:30. Another work in progress!
9/12 - 140.4 - 1143 - 10-day ave 1220
Almost, almost... (No matter what my ticker says, I still have half a pound to go - but almost....)
9/13 - 140.6 - 1214 - 10-day ave 1231
I'd really like to hit 140 in the next couple of days as it looks like I'm going to have to take a short course of prednisone
and I'd like as low a starting weight as possible. Sigh. Not happy about it but need to reduce inflammation, and the anti-inflammatory diet isn't working fast enough. Hopefully the pain will dissipate and I can get back to my regular long walks to counteract the potential weight gain from. I'm also aiming for as low sodium as possible to minimize water retention. Anyone who's taken pred have any other tips for minimizing potential side effects?
9/14 - 140.6 - 1274 - 10-day ave 1192
Okay! Half a pound to go - hopefully next round. And, based on blood work back yesterday, I'm going to postpone (hopefully forever) the prednisone. Yesterday I met with the dietitian in the integrative practice I'm seeing. She said my diet was already very clean (I knew that!) but wants me to follow an elimination diet for 6 weeks to see if it helps more than what I've been doing. So no more nightshades, dairy, eggs, gluten, corn, peanuts, or soy. I already had sugar under control. and had stopped most daity. After 6 weeks I can start re-introducing foods one at a time. So I guess I'm off to do some shopping! I'm actually pretty excited after speaking with her, so my focus now is better health with the likely added bonus of hitting my goal and staying there, maybe a little less. See you at R53 - and thanks again to everyone for being here, supporting one another, sharing your stories. All so inspiring!

9/11 180.4 That's what you get when you end the day with a handful of jelly beans and a handful of salt and vinegar potato chips.

9/11 - 234.5. Gone for the summer and what few losses I made have reappeared. Now that school has started I feel like I can do a better job of planning and keeping busy so I'm not eating out of boredom!
9/12 - 236
9/13 – 235.6
9/14 – 235.2
So I ended higher than when I started - not surprised seeing as how I was eating just before hitting the reset button. But the numbers are going down so that's super encouraging!

9/05 -- 160.8 slowly coming on down. I don't usually eat after 7 but last night was a super late dinner at 11. I got in 150 min of exercise, which means I was up till 1 30 😥😥😥 and drank 1.5 liters of water. Hope everyone else has a good hump day!!
9/06-- 160.2 worked out for 90 min yesterday, drank 1.5 liters and stayed under my calories. I usually stop eating after 7 (8 the latest) but last night I had a craving for munchies, so ended up having a couple of mini crispys and a mini chocolate bar at 8:30. Buuuuuuut the NSV is I only ate one mini chocolate and stuck to 24 crispys (they are the rice cake kind) where before I would have over indulged on both until there was nothing left.
9/07--160.2 worked out for an hour, drank 1.5 liters and ate under my calories. I think I have officially hit my plateau. This week I haven't been the best with getting breakfast in. I have been so motivated and consumed with exercising that I have missed breakfast and lunch all week and only have been eating dinner. I have tried planning out my meals for the week to stop this but that didn't work out too good. I already know OMAD doesn't work for me and on top of it, after dinner I tend to get the munchies if I don't eat all day. Like the night before I ate some chips and chocolate and last night I ate four turtles after dinner. Of course it was all still in moderation and I didn't go over but I don't like when I get mindless cravings. I have no problem with having a treat here and there but having junk be my go to when I'm still hungry isn't ideal. So this morning after weighing in, I ate. I will see how this goes.
9/08-- 159.6 WHAT WHAT WHAT??? yesterday I caved and ended up eating a crazy amount of chocolate, although I still stayed under my calories, it obviously wasn't the healthiest day. I did exercise, even if it wasn't as much as usual and I walked. I drank 1 liter of water. It is so weird that I usually work out like crazy, eat well and get the majority of my water in but ended up plateauing for a little over a week, then the day I didn't do as well and I ended up pushing under the mark. I am a little sceptical, I will wait to see if this doesn't change by tomorrow before I get too excited. But I am hoping this is it.... me in the 50s 😃😃😃 I am going to watch closely though, third day eating chocolate.... don't want this to turn into a thing
9/09-- 159.4 so I guess I have settled here 😄😄 yesterday was my MILs bday but I made sure to drink water and order the healthier options, a big NSV for me. I used to think going out meant I didn't have to stick to my healthy eating and was a good time for a break but it went great . Ate within my calories, drank 2 liters of water and took extra long walks. So far this weekend has been going great.
9/10 --157.6 woooooosh!! I couldn't believe it, had to check three times and this number kept coming up. 😄😄😄😄 woot!! I am back to the weight I was last January!!! I remember being dissapoined that I had gained so much weight over the holidays (and although I recommited to a weight loss journey, I gave up early and just continued to gain) but I couldn't be more thrilled to see it now!!! This is so emotionally exciting!! Yesterday I went for my first light jog in 10 years and although I didn't expect much from it, I did better then I thought. I completed two sets of 15 minutes (with a minute of fast walking after every five minutes) and although this doesn't seem like a lot to those people who jog daily, this is a big victory for me. It goes to show you really don't know what your body is capable of until you test it and it's limits. I ate great and drank 2 liters of water. Thanks to everyone in this group, with all the supportive (and sometimes competitive) people I not only stuck to it but achieved way more physically then I have in years. Thank you everyone for all your day to day stories, without them I would have felt discouraged with every gain and plateau but with them I haven't felt alone. You guys have really helped me learn a lot!!! Thank you.
9/11--157.8 feeling bloated today so not concerned about the slight gain. Stayed under calories and drank 1 liter of water. Besides dancing for a bit I decided to have a rest day. Back at it today, already had a mini jog and walk. Hope everyone has a great day
9/12 --158.4 I exercised a good amount yesterday....but I also ate a lot. I don't remember being as hungry as I was yesterday in a long while. I pretty much ate all my exercise calories. Drank 1.5 liters of water. I have to rethink my exercise routine though, my mom decided she needed to be more active but because I am way more active then she is, I have needed to dial it back....a lot. So now I'm figuring out how to do my routine and help her with hers. It's weird. I haven't done my routine since Friday (still have been exercising but not at my usual intensity) and I'm starting to get concerned. I feel more bloated and less toned, even though I think it's crazy for me to assume it would effect me in such a short amount of time...I can't help feeling slightly anxious.
9/13 -- 157.8 exercising went great yesterday managed two jogs, strength training and exercise with my mom. I am going away for the weekend to a friend's house, we are dog/house sitting and I will be bringing everything with me. In the past I have either not been as hungry because I am in a new place and my body is weird like that or I overeat because I am in a new place and my body is weird like that.. lol she said she has a scale there so I don't know how my weight will look for the next couple of days, hopefully not too different. She lives in a condo and her condo has a gym, pool and a play room so I am hoping I can get into the gym to keep up with this morning jog and maybe even go to the pool, water exercise is always fun. I drank 1.5 liters of water and ate well within my calories. Hopefully I can push a little more before the end of the round but I already know the 50s are going to be a slow trudge...i hope everyone has a great final day of round 52.
9/14-- no scale. I am still settling in my home away from home. I forgot to ask where her scale was until later this morning but by that point I had my breakfast so was too intimidated to weigh in. I exercised with my mom but that was it, do not do as much as usual. Drank 1.6 liters of water. My eating though was a little off, ended up having a sandwich for lunch yesterday which I haven't done in a while and gave in to LNS. That's ok though back at it today.
See you all next round😃😃😃12 -
57 Y.O. This my first round.
9/05 280.8 Started on eating plan
yesterday, didn't weigh so using
today's number as my start.
9/06 278.4 great start. Traveling for work
today. Flying always throws me off. Today though, I amfeeling like I can do it!
9/07 276.8 managed to stay focused!
9/08 277.6 So much to do today!
9/09 276.2 My energy level is great. Six hour drive coming up today then staying in a hotel, my home away from home, for 4 days. Solo drives are always a challenge for me because I want to snack. I need to master eating right while not having a kitchen. Have a relaxing Sunday!!
9/10 275.4 Made the drive with ease. New week ahead. Let's go!
9/11 275.4 yes, I did pack my scale for this road trip. No change today. I will take it.
9/12 274.4 Happy to see more progress. I had dinner and played cribbage with an old friend last night. Managed to only go over my carb limit by a couple yesterday. Progress, in my mind. In the past I most likely would have went off the rails in favor of someone else's meal desires.
9/13 275.4 Probably too many almonds yesterday. And everything I ate was salty. Road trip back home this afternoon.
9/14 275.4 Those Marcona almonds are gone. And, I'm back home. Exhausted. One week until vacation. See you next time!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/5 151.2 What's working:
*Eating what I want, but consciously.
*Letting go of guilt.
*Staying active doing things I like instead of calling it "exercise"
*Focusing on myself instead of what needs to change outside of me
*Logging in here daily
*Realizing we are all the same, just doing the best we can with the tools we have
*Skipping meals- just because it's "lunch time" etc. doesn't mean I have to eat. Listening to my body.
9/6 151 I feel like something has shifted, and this is getting easier. NSV- finally got back out on my mountain bike yesterday for a nice hilly ride, taught my 16 yo son a new recipe that he cooked for dinner for the fam, got my DH out on the bike too. I can't wait to see the 140's and they are within reach!!!
9/7 152.2 Not worried about this I feel great! Another hilly ride, cooking with my son, and walked the dogs! Gearing up for a great weekend, seeing the grandbabies again tomorrow. Have a wonderful day everyone!
9/8 151.4 I had a good day yesterday, FINALLY getting my DH moving with me! It is so much easier when we are both working together, but I have learned to lead by example and not nag, suggest, hint, or ask him to get active/eat better/etc. This is the part about "focusing on myself instead of what needs to change outside of me". When I am taking better care of myself I want everyone around me to also do the same, but I know that everyone has their own limits and timelines and needs to come to their own conclusions. I cannot make someone motivated, but maybe instead inspire them by taking better care of myself. We went on a morning walk, not my usual hilly fast burn since he was with me, but I am happy to pull it back and slow my progress if it means he will come along! I spent the afternoon with my sis helping her prepare for her big annual Tapas party, peeling potatoes for patatas bravas, making albondigas, chopping fruit for sangria...great girl talk and wonderful to cook together since we never do! Today is the party, my plan is to have a protein breakfast then to fast (as difficult as that may be with all the yummy food) I think it is the safest plan to eliminate the stress eating and weight gain that will show up if I do otherwise! Got home from a busy day and my 16yo son was learning to make beef stroganoff with my DH, overall a win win day!
9/9 152.4 My plan to fast gained an "e" and turned into a Feast. There were just too many hours at my sis's (noon-10 pm) and too much amazing Spanish food to stick to the original plan. I had a great day, held my grandbabies for a good long spell and got those baby love feelings going! Didn't drink enough H2O so today my focus is on hydration, going for a walk, and self care. Yesterday took 2 walks before the party, and reached an all time high of over 20k steps, so that is a win! Tomorrow is my weekly weigh in, looking for a drop below last week's 151.8, could be a stretch, but I am eating smart today, so lets make this happen, body of mine!
9/10 WEIGH IN DAY 150.6 Learning so much about my body! Love that I am so close to the 140s!! Planned hilly walk today and mountain bike too with DH. There is this concept I use, the Wheel, where if one spoke of your wheel is not where you want it, your road is bumpy, and you can't have the momentum you seek. My wheel with this increased physical activity is getting much more aligned, and I feel the pull towards my vision of being fit, happy, active and growing!!! Plus NSV DH is finally getting on board with me- makes it so much more fufilling :-)
9/11 151 Good day until I forgot how to unclip on my bike and fell over. Skinned elbows and bruised butt but mostly hurt ego. I was ticked off for a good hour after that. But I got over it. I thought I could control my addiction to this one type of protein bars, and bought an asst. to my demise...I ate 3 yesterday totalling over 600 calories. I could have had something so much better for that. I really considered not logging the third bar, but who was I hiding from? Myself? It reminds me of when I would sneak food and dispose of the evidence, bury the bag in the trash etc, comical really because I was only fooling myself. No one else was watching. Live and learn. I won't be buying the bars in in bulk, maybe just one once in a while. They are kinda gross but good, not sure why I like them! In my head I would much rather eat an eclair or cake or other real goodies!
9/12 150.6 Super emotionally draining day yesterday, and last night I felt a sore throat coming on, but overall as far as eating and moving a good day. I am so inicredibly blessed in my life and grateful to have tools to deal with the inevitable bumps.
9/13 149.4 Sick with a cold yesterday and still kinda today, probably dehydrated, but so happy to see this number today.
9/14 149.6 Happy but surprised to see the 149 again, still dealing with this cold and feeling yuck. Ate popcorn and cookies last night hoping to feel better. Didn't work. Goal met for this round. To anyone struggling, please trust the process. This daily support and accountability works. Definitely getting to know more about my body, and learning so much from all of you. It's not a race- it's my life.

Plan for the next 10 days:
*write daily food plan the evening before
*drink 64+ oz water daily
*limit alcohol to 2x per week
Goal this round: <184 (I'm thinking some of this starting number is due to just starting back at the gym, so the goal doesn't seem too excessive for 10 days.)
Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 187.5 food is planned for today, almost half way through my water. feeling down on myself this morning due to the high scale number but gotta embrace reality, own it, and change it.
9/06 186.0 still feeling heavy but heading in the right direction. Stuck to my plan yesterday, drank all my water too. 20 min on the elliptical this morning, 1/2 way through my water so far and planning on a date night tonight so eating a very light breakfast and lunch today.
9/07 185.0 I like this number better! sticking to my plan going into the weekend. Weekends are always tough in terms of wanting to "let loose" or "reward myself" but I have to remind myself that I'm not a puppy and I don't need food treats for good behavior. The plan is to be a happier me, and short term "rewards" in the form of food and booze don't help me meet my goals in the long term. I'll be planning to have a couple of cocktails tomorrow night in keeping with my 2 evenings per week goal.
9/08 no data
9/09 186.6 weekend water weight. we went out for dinner and I ordered well but it was super salty. also lifted earlier in the day.
9/10 186.6 need to drink more water today I guess. how can there be only 4 days left in this round? Plan for today. calorie drop, gym this afternoon with intervals, large and vegetable dinner lol
9/11 184.8 getting close to my goal for this round. Tonight is date night with my sweetie and we are getting big greasy burgers, so I'm eating veggies all day today. Yoga this morning felt good.
9/12 185.0 pretty sure I would have seen a decent loss but for my salty dinner last night. On plan today.. 2 more days to make it! water water water
9/13 184.2 looks good, had a glass of vino last night but on track other than that. Hurricane prepping today, doing all the laundry and a bit of grocery shopping to get us through the next few days.
9/14 183.6 very happy with how this round finished out. I think part of my jump in numbers last round was from hormones/TOM so I hope this is a real loss and not just water weight. Looking forward to the next round!

9/07--178.2 Giving myself a pep talk this morning since I think the rest of this round is kind of shot. As I look back at my numbers over the last 10-15 rounds, it doesn't look like I've made any real progress. However, I've been doing Pilates class twice a week for the last few months and I AM stronger and healthier. I've made changes to my diet that will be sustainable forever. I'm looking forward to our annual health fair at the end of the month to see what my results look like. I feel stronger and healthier and more fit than I ever have before.

9/14--178.8 This round was a wash. I'm counting it as a success considering everything included in the last 10 days. Time to start seeing some progress next round!12 -

9/09: 132.4, looks like a genuine whoosh. What I’ve changed the past 2 days - main meal 3:30pm meal break at work with a light snack after I get home, 9:30 - 10:00pm and more water.
9/10: 132.4, up late watching a movie which led to a little more food than i should’ve eaten.

I am a 49 year old 5'4" woman. I will be 50 by the time this round ends though. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.
I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. On the other hand when I look at the big picture and the averages it has been a consistent loss except for one round.

@quiltingjaine it definitely is allergies, seasonal and contact. Since menopause, I've developed allergies to most everything, cosmetics, soaps, fragrance, hair products, moisturizers, you name it. It's a never ending source of frustration. Then there's the weather... My eyes water if it's windy and/or cold. You can imagine how much I look forward to winter.
I'm even allergic to Clariton...6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05--218.4 Did some extra snacking yesterday evening. I think it was because I was feeling tired due to a restless dog during the night before. Now I know that being tired is a trigger to my snacking I will plan for next time. Still showing a downward trend. Yoga tonight.
9/06--218.2 I want to get back into doing C25K tonight. Between the excessive heat and bad air over the last couple of weeks I haven't done any running since July 1st and I really want to do a 5k this fall. So tonight I am going to take the dog out for a little running and walking.
9/07--218.4 Up and down and up again; however, I am weighing in less then my average weight last round. Yesterday evening I went out and did W3D1 of C25K even though I didn't want to, but then I remembered that I had posted here that I would do it. So guilt from internet strangers made me go out for my run...whatever works
9/08--218.2 Did some evening snacking that took me way over my calories...stress from work, but I'm now over that. Was looking over my diary and noticed that I am getting very little fiber and I can feel it. Today is Zumba, plan for some ways to slowly increase fiber in my diet, and make sure I get my water in.
9/09--218.2 Zumba was great yesterday and then I spent way too much time at IKEA. In-laws are coming over today, so we will be going out for lunch so I need to plan. Plan today is (1) go out for W3D2 of C25K this morning, (2) eat a lighter calorie breakfast, (3) drink only water at lunch, (4) take home lunch leftovers, and (5) assuming rain holds up, go for a walk later in the evening. Here I go!
9/10--218.6 I would be ecstatic if this is the only jump after going out for lunch yesterday. I completed most of the plan from yesterday (1) completed, (2) completed, (3) I did have a glass of lemonade at lunch, but drank water the rest of the day, (4) I had no leftovers because instead of ordering a larger meal I ordered a small meal and did not feel stuffed, and (5) did not complete I was exhausted. I also did not eat any of the Mexican cookies that my husband baked. Yesterday was a success! Back in a step competition with my sister-in-law. Zumba tonight.
9/11--218.2--Yesterday evening I really wanted to do some snacking, so instead I left the house and went out to run around and do some errands. By the time I got back home it was too late for me to eat anything, I hate feeling full before going to bed, so instead I had some tea.
9/12--217.1 I've been so used to seeing 218.2 and 218.4 on the scale it was weird to see this number. I'm not sure how long it will last since tonight I am going to a baseball game, not for very long since I really don't like baseball, but it's a coworker's retirement party. My plan is to eat lighter during the day and drink water all day.
9/13--216.9 Not sure if this will stick after eating at the ballpark yesterday. Even though I still stayed within my daily calorie allotment, the extra salt may show up tomorrow. Also, I ate later than usual so I feel a little heavy today. Regardless, it was great to stick to my plan from yesterday. Plan for today is to do W3D3 of C25K, assuming rain holds up.
9/14--216.0 Stepped on the scale 3 times to make sure. It rained last night, but then at about 7 it stopped, so I took my dog out and did W3D3 even though it was getting dark.
R52 AW: 217.8 (-1.1) EW: 216.0 (-2.2) Success: I stayed the course regardless of the weight on the scale.

I will be drinking lots of lemon water today (as Tish @birdie56 recommends). I hope the scale will not be too bad at tomorrow’s final weigh in.
It's water. The body isn't able to metabolize calories into measurable fat loss or gain that quickly. Actual weight/fat loss or gain is measurable as a trend over time.4 -

9/07, 225, Well ok then.
9/08, 225, Surprised cause I've been eating junk at FanX.

9/10: 134.5 gained and surprised. I did drink a lot of coffee calories but was under my goal intake 🤔😥
9/11: 134.0 discouraged! did really well yesterday 😑
9/12: 133.6 😁
9/13: 133.8 under calories but ate late 😑
9/14: 133.2 😄 under calories but just wasnt hungry. hoping it's not ruined if I eat today. I ended down 1.9lbs I'll take it!12 -
@iamworthy14 and @heymossy Your gain is more likely related to what you ate 2-3 days prior.
@AJB1014 I think you know the solution but don’t realize it. You were still hungry so you ate more but DIDN’T GET ENOUGH WATER. Next time drink a glass of water. We often THINK we are hungry when we are only thirsty. Drink, drink, drink!

I am in shock and disbelief! Suddenly I feel slimmer. Even Younger! YESTERDAY’S STATS according to fitbit & MFP: 21 Net Carbs. 1184 Calories In / 2476 Calories Out. 9,343 total steps. 3.95 total miles. 12/13 (250) step hours. 4 hours 52 minutes of sleep but felt rested. Intermittent fasted 16:8. No specific exercise. But overall, a victorious day!
9/08 - 177.6 Oh Glorious Day! I’m back! But today will be a challenge as I will be away on an out-of-town trip where restaurants are abundant. Little old Rural Area Woman finds new dining experiences each time that others may take for granted. YESTERDAY’S STATS: 19 Net Carbs. 1254 Calories In / 2938 Calories Out. 15,392 total steps. 6.51 total miles. 13/13 (250) steps hours. 4 hours 43 minutes of sleep. Intermittent fasted 16:8. Walked 1.5 miles briskly in neighborhood. I pray I can contain my cheating to one good meal today and not turn it into a complete binge. Fingers crossed.
9/09 - 178.2 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 180 Net Carbs. 1946 Calories In / 2121 Calories Out. 6,179 total steps. 2.61 total miles. 10/13 (250) step hours. 4 hours 39 minutes of sleep. Intermittent Fasted 14:10.
9/10 - 177.2 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 56 Net Carbs. 1310 Calories In / 2647 Calories Out. 11,017 total steps. 4.71 total miles. 13/13 (250) step hours. 6 hours 26 minutes of sleep which is a lot for me. Intermittent Fasted 16:8. Performed 21 minutes of aerobic freestyle dancing burning 130 calories. Did some simple isometrics and stretches.
9/11 - 176.4 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 11 Net Carbs. 1000 Calories In / 2724 Calories Out. 12,895 total steps. 5.49 total miles. 13/13 (250) step hours. 5 hours 13 minutes of sleep. Intermittent Fasted 16:8. Walked 1.5 miles briskly. The road worth travelling is not always an easy one, but I just stay focused on the “worth travelling” part. It gets me through the rest of it.
9/12 - 176.4 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 15 Net Carbs. 1229 Calories In / 2468 Calories Out. 10,406 total steps. 4.4 total miles. 13/13 (250) step hours. 4 hours 4 minutes of sleep. Up earlier than usual due to travel time. Intermittent Fasted 16:8. Walked my 1.5 mile neighborhood with son and friends. Also did 17 minutes of aerobic dancing hitting peak during most of it.
9/13 - 179.8 I know I did not eat enough calories to gain 3 ½ pounds overnight so I am guessing some of this is water weight. Out of town Chinese food again. It is my weakness because it is not available within 80 miles of my home so it’s often my choice when I travel. Sodium….Sodium. I will be drinking lots of lemon water today (as Tish @birdie56 recommends). I hope the scale will not be too bad at tomorrow’s final weigh in.
9/14 - 179.0 I did not make goal due to the 3.4 pound overnight gain Wed/Thur. However, I am down 0.6 from the start so thankfully I am still on the downward trend. Stayed excellent in my plan yesterday. However, movement was restricted due to catch-up paperwork which always happens after a traveling day off. I am looking forward to round 53 where I will continue to work on better control during my frequent out-of-town excursions which tend to turn into all night binges. Ending on a positive note, I want to share how completely proud I am of all the changes I have made on the homefront these past few months. 90% of my time is spent doing weekly meal preps, making proper shopping lists, eating healthy foods, making good choices for my body overall, and incorporating exercise and it has all paid off. Home is my safety zone because it is so organized to my plan. One of my goals continues to be learning the ability to see food as fuel and make those good choices everywhere I go. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!

Day/Weight/Comment
•9/5 - 182.8 - Gee, I thought I had posted this. My son called me for some reassurance concerning my DGD early this morning. He wasn't sure that she would be able to find her classroom. Kindergarten classes are at the very back end of the school. Parents cannot enter the school with the children. First child in elementary school parent jitters. His baby.
Not quite 100 ozs of water yesterday, which is MUCH better than the last 4 or 5 days. I have a couple of homegrown cucumbers from a friend. I added some thin slices to my lemon water. I'm shedding water like crazy.
•9/6 - 181.8 - more cucumber today
•9/7 - 181.6
•9/8 - 180.4
•9/9 - 181.8 and 182.4 - concurrent increment battle? Lol. 180's do not want to let me go.
•9/10 - 180.8 - Here I go. I expect a little more back and forth before the next decade comes in.
•9/11 - 181.8
•9/12 - 182 - I feel waterlogged and tired. I need electrolytes to balance this body fluid. I don't think I've had any for a week :dissapointed: and I need them every day.
•9/13 - 182.6
•9/14 - 180.8 - A 2 lb loss for the round. Headache this morning.

@iamworthy14 and @heymossy Your gain is more likely related to what you ate 2-3 days prior.
@AJB1014 I think you know the solution but don’t realize it. You were still hungry so you ate more but DIDN’T GET ENOUGH WATER. Next time drink a glass of water. We often THINK we are hungry when we are only thirsty. Drink, drink, drink!
@MadisonMolly2017 Dehydration also can cause headaches. Are you getting enough water?3 -
I am in again. 6th time Thank you @GrandmaJackie

9/10 202.6 Really didn’t do well this weekend. Hope it doesn’t hurt too much.
9/11 202.2 Didn’t take as big of hit as I thought. Must be all the exercise I did on the weekend helped cover for that bag of M&M’s. I still can lose weight before this round is over. Did a really good job yesterday watching what I ate so there is hope... I do think this round won't see onederland.
9/12 200.6 Been really watching what I eat the last few days. It’s paying off. Getting very excited!!!!!!
9/13 200.2 So close. Can I end the round under 200. fingers crossed.
9/14 200.9 Lost 1.3 for the round so I am happy. Didn't make it to onewonderland, but i will next round. 13 -

Round 52 (My 6th round)
9/05 160 went over on calories yesterday and had a late dinner.
9/06 160 So often I feed the kiddos and get busy with household duties, put them to bed and realize I haven't eaten dinner (and then it's late). We used to all sit down and eat together, but since the new baby it's hard to do sometimes. Going to work on that. I always enjoyed sitting down as a family at dinner time. It'll also help that I'm not eating so late as well.
9/07 159 I was sooo happy to see this number this morning! Yesterday I did great with my water (90 oz/2.66 liters), I have been forgetting to drink it so haven't gotten as much as I should lately. Under on calories, only had half my daily sugar and around 90 carbs.
9/08 159.5 Good day yesterday but ate a little late last night. Today is game day, so there will be finger foods. Hopefully I'll stay in my calorie range.
9/09 159 I did eat finger foods yesterday for the game, but didn't over indulge. Actually was full after what I ate, even though it wasnt very much. 😊
9/10 158.5 😊 stayed under yesterday and was a very low carb/sugar day. I have been aiming to do some type of exercise each day (I don't count housework because I'm constantly doing it with 3 kids, 4 if you count Hubby 😂). Didn't get any exercise in and felt guilty about it, but I know I shouldn't because I have been almost every day.
9/11 158 Another good day staying under, although ate pasta for dinner. Haven't had pasta in a long time. Only had a serving but felt like I was retaining fluid last night, especially in my hands. Drank a lot of water last night so feeling better this morning!
9/12 158 yesterday was a little tough because I was hungry all day. Stayed under though and got through it.
9/13 158 very high carb day yesterday. Going to do better today!
9/14 157.5 I'm so proud 😊 .5 away from my goal this round but it's ok! I think expecting 3 lbs is too much a round since I've already had great results. Ready for round 53! Each of you are doing amazing and you're all an inspiration to me💗9 -
@kdv12, congratulations on your 1.3 loss this round...Round 53, onewonderland is waiting for you, 4
