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.

female, 45 yo, 168 cm
R49 results: starting 63.2kg, end 61.7 kg (-1.5 kg)
R50 results: starting 61.3 kg, end 59.8 kg (-1.5 kg)
R51 results: starting 60 kg, end 61.8 kg (+1.8 kg)
Target: back to everything below 60 kg, 59.9 would be great!!!
need to be stronger in the weekends, no travel planned in the next 10 days
9/05 - 61.3kg, back to the same point as 20 days ago:( Good girl yesterday, low carb, 1 h tennis, dinner around 19:00
9/06 - 60.7kg good girl, not very low carb but quite small quantities of food, 1 h yoga, stop eating @ 17:00
9/07 - 60.5kg, relatively low carb if you exclude the cake , circuit training, stop eating @ 16:00
9/08 - 60.6 kg, tried a little bit cake again based on the idea that if no effect on yesterday weight, no effect today. wrong conclusion...
9/09 - 60.4kg - i was expecting bigger damage from late dinner and wine but i kept it quite light overall plus a class of spinning that gave me same space
9/10 - 60.8kg...I need a challenge on how to get over the weekend without raiding the fridge from 5 to 5 min
9/11 - 60.6 kg, difficult , difficult, slow progress , good on sport, average on food.

You are going to be enjoying that afternoon tea with friends very soon!!! ☕️ 🍪 💁♀️🙅🏼♀️🍓🙅🏼♀️🙅🏼♀️🍒🍋🥐🍰🥂5 -
@savvyrose88, No, don't give up. Your body is working on a lot of things. Healing itself, normal body processes, adjusting to your new way of eating. Continue doing all the right things for yourself, don't worry about small scale fluctuations. Your weight will come down.
@iamworthy14, "so frustrated this yo-yo is making me want to throw in the towel" Well, your username suggests the opposite, so, NO. Just think if you could actually lose one pound of fat a day. Sounds great! Not so great though. You would no longer be here to be frustrated! I think you know what I mean. It's only fluid retention and it will drop off.
@iamworthy14 and @savvyrose88, You both want to see some crazy fluctuations? Examine my posts. Every 10 days my weight continuously fluctuates, but I can't give up just because the number on the scale is not the number I want to see. If I had that mindset, I would have never lost 71 pounds and still more to lose! Have patience with yourselves, the weight will come off.9 -
I am putting myself on maintenance for the rest of the round. Work is crazy stressful right now, I'm exhausted and yesterday I injured my shoulder so I am in pain. Food prep and exercise are going to have to take a back seat for a few days.13

@SheilaBoneham, Thank you! I'm no good at taking selfies, lol. I have that shadow over half my face. Next photo maybe I can enlist my son to take.

@mthomas0228 and @quiltingjaine, Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers concerning my little.
She has been given steroids to reduce the swelling in her throat, but she still won't eat or drink. I'm sure she thinks it will be painful, because it has been for 5 days. The doctor will not release her until she eats. She's miserable, tired of the IV in her hand (of course) wants to go home. So, Granddaddy is taking her the Chick-fil-a she's been asking for, in hope that she will eat it, then she can go home.MadisonMolly2017 wrote: »* Health!!! Focus on health!

It’s funny...my mind was telling me I’d gained & that this had been a bad round, but seems ok to me today...esp. with 3 days to go. Mind sent me into a tizzy about Goal wt too- calmed that down, too. “It’s not a race...it’s not a race...and it’s not ending...you’re just easing up the calories & gradually slowing the weight loss...” It’s a mental game.

UGW: 155ish - by April 2019
9/05 - Wednesday - 183.0 - Set my goal weight a litte lower than my usual - but I've been hovering here for a while so I feel a whoosh coming my way! Well, this morning was actually a whoosh - this puts me at 29.6 lbs lost! And so close to my short term goal #2! And so close to overweight BMI from obese BMI! I still didnt find my scale last night!!!!
It's been a kind of rough morning so far. Exhaustion both mentally and physically is catching up to me. Need to do some self care over the next few days.
9/06 - Thursday - 183.5 - Busy night last night. Worked on the in-law, cleaned drained and refilled hot tub, cooked dinner and slept over there because it was too hot. But I stayed up too late watching movies cause it was like being on vacation. Ooops. Another busy day today - work is stressing me out. Trying to stay mindful and centered despite it all.
9/07 - Friday - 182.5 - WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Short term goal #2 HELLO!!! On my way to overwight BMI all the way from obese class 2!!! And it's Friday. I'm going to revel in today's positives and push the negative to the side!!!
9/08 - Saturday - 182.5 - I was in such a mood last night. Let myself get too hungry and it was all downhill fro there. Rallied for friends dinner and the night turned out okay. Moved last things today, final wlak thru at apartment tomorrow. I need a nap. But planning to go to the fair tonight and i might not log...nah I'll log it and move on! Excited to do something fun after all this hard work!
9/09 - Sunday - 183.0 - I logged fair food as best I could. I also didnt go totally nuts eating wise so that was a win. Definitely enjoyed myself though. Went to dog festival today and ate some vegan spring rolls and then a huge sandwich on the way home. So worth it. Cooked dinner at home, pizza grilled cheese and tomato soup. Almost ordered out - gosh it snowballs so fast when I eat comfort foods I just want more! Glad I found something comfort foodish with food I had in the house cause the calories werent bothering me by the end of the weekend the cash was!
9/10 - Monday - 184.0 - Really not so bad considering! Have not drank enough water today and have a salty meal planned for dinner - but it is what it is and I'm feeling good. I REALLY need to start drinking my protein shake at some point in the day again and get better with taking my meds and start taking fish oil again. Those little habits make a big difference!
9/11 - Tuesday - 184.5 - Not surprising - not letting it get me down! Drank protein shake for breakfast and took my fish oil! Doing my best to drink lots of water today. Feeling positive that the upward trend stops today and I'm back on track! Pre logging dinner to see where I'm at for the day.

Round 48 SW 178.2
Round 49 SW 177.8
Round 50 SW 175.6
Round 51 SW 174.0
Round 52 SW 173.4
9/05 173.4/ I knew those 3 pounds were just water weight. I drank a lot of water yesterday, stayed within my calorie goals, and squeezed in a work-out. My boxing class starts again on Monday which should help me stay on track. My goal for this challenge is to be in the 171s, but I would love to get out of this decade. For anyone feeling discouraged, take a look at my SW for each challenge. My weight is all over the place during each 10 day challenge, but my SW shows the progress.
9/06 174.2/ I went over calories last night so I’m not too surprised by the gain. I’m hoping it goes down for tomorrow or Saturday as I tend to log a weight in MFP on either of those days.
9/07 173.4/ I’m logging my weight tomorrow and probably not going to see a loss over a pound which is what I want. We’re going out tonight to celebrate a friend’s birthday so I’m drinking water today and hoping to keep everything in moderation.
9/08 173.6/
9/09 No-Weigh-in
9/10 176.4/ This is starting to get really annoying every weekend, I can 100% point to the factors that cause this three pound “gain” every Monday but I haven’t figured out the best way to fix it. I’m starting to work out more this week and will need to focus on how to eat better and get more water Friday through Sunday.
9/11 176.0/ What a rough round. I know that I didn’t eat enough to gain 3 pounds over the weekend, I’m trying to get out from under this.

9/07 - 247.8 FIRST DAY of the rest of my life
9/08 - 247.4 eating well thinking of food as fuel and including lots of fruit and veg
9/09 - 247.6 “cheat meal” last night but stayed within total allowed daily calories so not sure that was right... it’s only week one can’t mess this up yet I’m more aware of my eating and making better choices so that’s good right?!
9/10 - 247.2 big family dinner last night but balanced that with lighter options during the day
9/11 - 247.8 second day of family fun, still controlled so hoping the scale reflects that soon

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 145. Hanging steady, and I think I saw the needle nudging toward 144. Made time to be active yesterday and it felt so good! I picked up a midday snack yesterday that turned out to be 780 calories! It was printed right on the bag, but I didn't read it until after I ate. Oops. A light dinner and exercise helped balance the day.
9/06 - 144. Yes! Did a little fist pump when I saw a loss this morning. Today, I'm wearing a pair of pants that I bought during Round 47. I had to add a belt.
9/07 - 143.5. The scale was showing something lower than 144, so I'm calling it 143.5. Had to pick between exercise and sleep yesterday. I almost always prioritize everything else over sleep, but I picked sleep last night and got close to 8 hours. Based on how good I feel today, I'll be trying to prioritize sleep more often.
9/08 - 144. Up early for kid activities and then off to the state fair for the day.
9/09 - 145. Enjoyed an amazing grilled cheese sandwich at a restaurant near the fairgrounds late last night. It was soooo good and it comes with an outstanding tomato dipping soup. We go to that restaurant after the fair each year and I look forward to that sandwich more than I look forward to going to the fair!
9/10 - 144. Dealing with some late night snacking issues again that I need to reign in.
9/11 - 144. Solved late night eating problems last night be going to bed early last night. Looking forward to a healthy and delicious dinner tonight.

9/07 - 178.6 A good day yesterday. NSV= Tried on a pair of pants with a button. I have been wearing elastic waist for 16 years since 2002. This was a size 14. They fit! They fit! I am in shock and disbelief! Suddenly I feel slimmer. Even Younger!

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.

9/11 - 176.4 Wowza! My lowest weight in 12 years! I took a brisk 1.5 mile walk in my neighborhood with my son & his friend yesterday. I thought someone had come up behind us when I saw the shadows overlapping on the blacktop. I moved to the side and turned. No one there. I looked down again, that skinney shadow was me! Granted, I know shadows always look slimmer, But I know my own shadow! This one was slender, leaner legs, smaller waist and hips. This shadow was not hiding and swimming in huge amounts of fabric and clothing. This one was wearing nicely fitted yoga pants and a shirt that was cinched at the waist! I just can’t be more pleased than I am at the progress I am making with the help of MFP and my Keto low carb diet.
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. I was a little low on carbs, calories and water because I was so busy. I'm working on getting closer to my macros today but today is also a heavy schedule including a 3 hour hairdresser appointment. In regards to my weight loss trend - I think 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.
MY SON’S UPDATE: He lost 8.2 lbs. more since his last weigh=in. New weight is 276.8. Total loss since May 1, 2018 is 31.6. I measure 9 places (chest, Left Arm since he’s left handed, midrift, waist, flanks, hips, left thigh, left calf and neck). He lost 8.50 more inches since last measure about a month ago. His total inches lost since May 1st is 28.50. I am so proud of him and he is just beaming. He is now wearing one size down in shorts and t-shirts. Double Wowza!

I feel onederland coming, so I am pushing for consistency, I want to see a more consistent downward trend this round. I am hoping for good things this month!
This is a long term thing, a few bad days or weeks is something I'm getting better at coping with.

This is my first challenge! Excited to see all the posts/ideas.
Goals:
1) drink at least 10 cups of water
2) take a daily multivitamin
3) 10,000 steps
4) slowly increase activity
Mindset: I want to lose 50 pounds total, but since every big goal needs smaller goals, I'm going to try to think of it as losing 5 pounds 10 times. So I'm going to think in 5 lb increments and my goal will be to get to my next benchmark goal each time.
SW: 190.3
Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 190.3 - well I just thought how yummy the baby carrots were that I just ate! On my way to adjusting my food thinking!
9/06 - 189.6 - did some reps with my hand weights yesterday and 45 min on elliptical. Slowly but surely...oh and also, I just ate homemade soup for dinner and I'm still hungry!!!
9/07 - 189.3 - about 30 min on the elliptical today - negatives - cheated with a few boneless wings...sigh; positives - good water intake, vitamins
9/08 - 188.9 - had lots of activity today - over 15,000 steps woohoo! Brought snacks with me, but treated myself for dinner to my favorite sorta cheat meal - sloppy joes with 90% lean ground beef, healthy life whole wheat buns, corn on the cob and baked beans; fair water intake - could have done better...
9/09 - 188.2 - did a 30 min circuit training workout this evening - I know I will feel it tomorrow! Still struggling to get all my water intake in...feeling hungry - workouts always do this to me...
9/10 - 188.2 (no change) - a little sore today from my circuit training workout yesterday, but not too bad because I started slow with a 30 min workout and modified most moves. Cut my grass for over an hour today and am going to try to do a longer workout tomorrow...
9/11 - 187.7 - yay!!! some progress! funny how seeing a few results can spur you on - worked out 60 min today, but I did eat back some of my exercise calories b/c I was sooooo hungry. Haven't figured out how to suppress post workout hunger even though I'm eating protein within the right window after.
