9/22 / 241.6/ I’ve been consuming way more salt, and also (admittedly) pouting. I just looked up how many weeks I’ve been making this effort: 36. This is still more than a pound a week gone. Let’s hope I’m done with the pouting now.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/15 (Out of town - no scale) Just got back home and did step on the scale (145.3) - super late time of day for me to weigh-in and had had things to eat/drink before so not too bad of an uptick after factoring those things in. My end weight for Round 52 was not really an accurate number since it was caused by a stomach bug. Looking forward to weighing in tomorrow and having a more "real" number to see where I am on the scale. My daughter and I had a great time together at the concert last night. So glad I was able to feel better in time for that!
9/16 = 143.5 Back weighing in a normal time, down .2 from Friday morning's weigh-in. Today will be super busy, we're having people over tonight, so lots to do. Planing on OMAD today to not go over calories with the dinner party food/drinks.
9/17 = 143.3 (down .2 from yesterday) So nice to be able to lose weight after a night off from logging my food. I enjoyed dinner last night, it was delicious but also super healthy & vegetarian. There were likely too many adult beverages though, need a lot of water today to re-hydrate. I completed the day 56 of 90 exercises yesterday, so today is the start of week 9 of my workout plan. After finishing this week's workouts, I'll be in the final month of the plan, Yay!
9/18 = 144.6 (up 1.3 from yesterday) Just another day with weird scale fluctuations
Although more likely the delayed results from Sunday's dinner party. No worries here, it will come down within a day or 2. I moved my rest day to yesterday as my legs were feeling super tired from the weekend's workouts but so ready to get back to sweating a good workout today. In really good news, my treadmill has been stuck on the highest incline (basically unusable) for the past several months, which has not been too big of an issue because I really only love running outside and only use the treadmill when I have no other choice. We tried to fix it before by re-calibrating it without any luck but yesterday my husband found a reset switch on the underneath and it worked! Happy to have this back in business, I'll still keep my runs outside but it's nice to be able to do harder interval training on the treadmill and to get in some walks as well. Have a great day everyone!
9/19 =144.6 (no change from yesterday) So, settling in at this number, which I think is an accurate representation of where I should be. I think the big dips down into the 143's were effects of the stomach bug last week. Yesterday was a great exercise day but I give myself a "D" for nutrition. I would grade it an "F", except I did manage to stay withing my calorie range, so that's something. But these were all empty calories. Some days the body just wants junk, the good thing is those days happen less and less frequently. I'm back on track today with my nutrition, my body is craving a green smoothie (the norm) not potato chips like yesterday. Today, I have the day 59 of 90 workout and this one is a hard one! "Losing weight is hard, being fat is hard. Pick your hard!"
9/20 = 144.4 (down .2 from yesterday) Slight downward movement on the scale this morning, although it had my water weight percentage about 2 points higher than usual, so definitely still retaining some water weight. Yesterday was on point for my food choices and exercise. I had looked over what my workout was in advance and thought it was going to be crazy hard, but in the middle of doing it, thought this isn't so hard after all. But that is doing myself a disservice, it was a hard workout, I'm just stronger now. Today's workout 60 of 90 is the repeat of the day 1 workout from the 1st 30 day challenge. I did this workout back on June 18th when I started my weight loss journey, I was sore for days after, very interested to see how it feels when I do it today.
9/21 = 143.7 (down .7 from yesterday) Ok, back where I ended the last round, hope that's the last of the weight fluctuation this round! Time get some losses on the board for this round Yesterday was a MAJOR stress day, nothing personal, just home repair nightmares! But I ate under calories and got my workout in. Still dealing with all that today and we may have to go to a hotel if this can't get resolved before everything shuts down for the weekend. I don't think it looks good, I can't imagine everything will fixed before Monday/Tuesday. I WILL NOT stress eat through this and there is huge comfort in knowing that! In good news, we got a new sofa delivered this morning for our family TV room, love it! Focusing on the positives today.
9/22 = 144.0 (up .3 from yesterday) Bumpy round for me! Still hoping to eek out a loss by Monday, although we are going to a huge multi state fair tomorrow so will have to make really great choices while there to post a loss for this round. I've been either hitting my calories/macros or right under these all round and getting all my workouts in, but I have not been following my normal nutritional plan 100%. Need to tightening this up, I know what I eat makes a difference in how my body holds on to water weight. If I ever stop being held hostage to my house waiting on repair men to show up, I will get to the grocery store and pick up some lemons and cucumbers, so I can drink the water @tiabirdie56 recommends and flush this fluid retention out of my system. Have a great weekend everyone, and Happy Fall!
9/23 = 143.7 (down .3 from yesterday) It's just one of those rounds.....Yesterday was a very good day, much accomplished on the home repairs front, ate well & under calories and had 2 great workouts: completed day 62 of 90 and went for a run. I was up earlier than I would like this morning (I love my weekend sleep-ins) and got day 63 of 90 knocked out and went for a run. It was definitely fall running weather this morning, my favorite time of the year to run, loved the chill in the air. We are off to the fair in a little bit, probably will just enjoy it as a nice family day and not have anything to eat there. I'd like to be able to post a loss for this round, just have to decide where my priorities are and stick to them. "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out."

9/18: 134.6, recovering…
9/19: 132.8, main meal was during my break at work, 3:30-4:00. Munched on a salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion tossed with ACV.

9/21: 134.4, another date night. Posting very late and catching up on everyone’s posts.. Been super busy.
9/22: 132.8, good deficit for the day. I’m always amused how quickly restaurant meals blow me up, yet the recovery time takes 2 - 3 days.

9/15 —134.2— I had a feeling this would happen once I got some sleep! Happy weekend everyone 😊
9/16 —133.8— Super busy day yesterday, so I had a late dinner.. wasn’t expecting a loss, but I’ll take it of course. Going out to eat later so I can watch the patriots game and my hunny can watch his 49ers game.. will practice self discipline and pick out something healthy(ish) to eat! 🏈🏈🏈
9/17 —134.6— Umm.. yikes! I thought I did really good when I went out to eat yesterday, staying under calories and I drank SO much water.. this is possibly salt, I hope! We’ll see.. 🤞🏼
9/18 —133.2— Well that’s a relief! Darn salt givin’ me a heart attack 😝 It’s my day off today, but have a test tomorrow so will be studying all day. Oh yeah and I lost my fantasy football game last night.. 😢 oh well~
9/19 —133.8— Early morning weigh in today. Yesterday was the first day in a long time where I really struggled to control my food cravings! I went about 100 calories over my goal, I will try to make up for it today.
9/20 —132.6— It’s my day off! I will be trying to enjoy the day, and looking forward to the football game tonight!😄
9/21 —132.8— I only had about 4 hours of sleep last night so I actually expected an increase this morning, 12-hour hospital shift today, Yay! 🤪
9/22 —131.6— My hunny wanted to go out to eat last night.. I’m glad I told him no! We are planning on eating out to watch football on Sunday, so trying to be good until then. 😋
9/23 —131.8— Well football Sunday is here, yay! Going out to lunch eating salty food combined with staying up late and having to wake up early tomorrow I expect to see my weight go up a bit, but that’s ok!! Going to enjoy this beautiful Sunday🤗

9/22- 187.2- So my little brother went on the scale and his weight was showing to be 79 pounds but he's a little more than 100 so I think I need to buy a new scale but my weight seems probable since I did really well yesterday. Not sure so I will purchase a new scale but for now it might be okay. But I am a LITTLE concerned since it was doing weird things yesterday as well. Also, I'm going out to eat today with family so I'm not sure that scale will be good to me tomorrow but I'm determined to get right back to eating right after. This will be hard for me because I tend to feel bad about myself after eating badly like I let myself down but I need to get out of that habit because some days won't be perfect. That's life. No need to feel bad about it if it's not an everyday occurrence.
@ssssanaaaa Definitely purchase an accurate scale. I like to read as many reviews as possible before buying. I've even brought a heavy item that I can test the accuracy with, lol. (a 20 lb dumbbell)
Yes, the number on your scale may or may not be accurate, the important thing is that you are showing a downward trend which is awesome. :bigsmile:8 -

Bouncing weight...Not sure why, but pleased with fitness & Sept wt loss. Trying different methods to assuage hunger...will just take me some time to figure out this “<24 BMI” new reality. Ankle hurting, so attempting to take my first Rest Day in over 6 months. We’ll see...
Thank you to all the great suggestions and positive approach in this group!

• Ate within Energy burned throughout day
• reviewed my macro and micro data from past 7 months...realized there have been steady increases in carbs & dietary sugars, and whacked sugary/starchy carbs, dietary sugars, and calories down!!
• Drank lots of water 💦 & hot tea ☕️
• Tried not to freak out & reminded myself I could find a solution to hunger
• And I didn’t wake up uncomfortably hungry!!!
• I think yesterday might have been the most important day of my weight loss so far. I was able to use all the data I’ve collected to help me. I was able to ride the hunger. I found a simple lunch (burger patty, thin slice cheese, fresh cooked peas, whole wheat pita) & dinner (pork, Apple, decaf nonfat latte) delicious even with lower or no starch/sweet.
• I have hope again!! I’m fighting this time to keep this healthy, strong body. 💞

Day/Weight/Comment
9/15 - 153 - Holding steady, sigh...It may go up tomorrow after the salt I had for dinner tonight.
9/16 - 153 - At least it didn't go up.
9/17 - 153.5 - There's the salt, or the fact that I keep moving my scale due to our bathroom remodel. I double checked my gross calories consumed for the past week and I haven't gone over 1400 calories, in fact I'm usually at 1100 to 1200 a day. I'll just keep riding this out.
9/18 - 152.5 - I'm glad to see this number today. I'm hoping this is the highest number I see for the rest of the week.
9/19 - 152.5 - I picked up some cotton candy grapes from Whole Foods on Sunday and they have been my addiction this week. I know they're higher in sugar and calories than regular grapes, but I've been able to forego my usual little piece of candy after dinner for a half cup of grapes.
9/20 - 152 - I saw this number last round, I hope it sticks around this time.
9/21 - 152 - OK!
9/22 - 152 - I had a turkey taco last night which I'm sure had plenty of sodium, so I'm still good with this weight. We had an injured young deer laying down in our backyard last night. We live in the city limits of Akron, Ohio, but there are so many major metroparks in our area, we have all kinds of wildlife wandering through our yard. It couldn't put any weight on it's hind leg, so we set some water out for it and I tried to contact wildlife rescuers. The little guy/girl was gone when we got up this morning.
9/23 - 153 - To celebrate the Autumn weather, we made brats and kraut for dinner last night. I ate within my loss calories, but I need to drink extra water today.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/15, Saturday – 159.8 Just got home on Thurs. so am still tired. Yesterday spent most of it catching up online – so bad for snacking. Today want to hit some bigger projects (a little canning, yard work) but still get in a nap. I find I can lose a whole week to tiredness after a trip – mindless eating and getting nothing done. Often I’ve maintained weight or lost on the trip but gain the first week back. Determined not to do that this time.
9/16 , Sunday – 159.2
9/17, Monday – 159.8 Ugh, Sundays our meals are always erratic so I feel like I haven’t eaten much but if I count it up I’m usually way over. Today it’s back to the winter routine with ladies’ a cappella group this evening. Usually I try to houseclean on Mondays but today the guy is here installing a new furnace so if it gets chilly I’m going shopping
9/18, Tuesday – 159.6
9/19, Wednesday – 159 I don’t feel like I deserve this but will take it. Got a Zap My Cravings email from Shrink Yourself last night and it stopped me in my tracks – so only had dessert not snacking all evening. I did Shrink Yourself for about 6 months a number of years ago. That is where I learned that you have two kinds of hunger – physical hunger and emotional hunger – and how to tell the difference. Of course the cravings come from emotional hunger. So the Zap My Cravings is going through a set of questions that help you realize what the real source of your craving is. I think I got the email because I was cleaning out old stuff and revisited their site a few months ago. I just might do it again. The emotional eating is always what does in my progress.
9/20, Thursday – 159.4 Last day of my “week-after-trip tiredness” and feel pretty good considering the ice cream last night. Usually I just eat ½ cup when I have it so the calorie count is not too bad but last night I’d kept going on clearing off the garden until late and felt I deserved more. Too much fat at night always makes me draggy in the morning. Looks pretty nice out today so back at it. I have so much yard work to do and company coming, it makes me feel overwhelmed (the real reason for the ice cream, I’d say). I guess I need to sit down and realize I won’t get it all done unless we have a very late fall and then prioritize the jobs. Also need to decide how much of my life it deserves so everything else doesn’t get shoved aside and then turn into its own emergency.

Coming in late!
Day/Weight/Comment
9/18: 143.8
Ate well until about 9:30 pm. It’s my first day on this journey and I’m re-learning my triggers. Forgot how much of a late night snacker I was. Oh well...tomorrow is a new day!
9/19: Forgot to weigh in but here goes...ate a “better” breakfast, considering the food we have around the house. Going grocery shopping today for better options that are still realistic for me. Went out to eat and got veggie pasta with a side salad—I’ve decided I’m only going to work on one or two things at a time, instead of just throwing myself into this lifestyle full force. The first thing is to eat more fruits/veggies and drink more water. Next I will worry about portion control, etc. I did do some late night eating again, but it was more of a meal that I tried to make as healthy as possible (again, considering the food we have)...we had a pretty early dinner.
9/20: 142.2
Bought some new foods, all healthy. We also got this frozen vegetable pot pie from our favorite place and I think we are going to have to stop because my husband and I ate the whole thing in one sitting😪 On another note, I ate more fruits and veggies yesterday than I have in a while and I drank so much water!! I did late night snacking again (unfortunately) BUT it was healthy foods. Doesn’t make me feel as bad but I did feel bloated and gross when I woke up this morning. I’m going to go invest in some delicious caffeine free tea to have instead when I get a craving...and maybe some chewing gum lol.
9/21: 143.3 Holy cow yesterday night was hard. So I ate good. Lots of fruits and veggies. But then I got cravings at night again. I didn’t completely deny myself so I had a simply natural fruit snack and some water and then went to bed. I woke up in the middle of the night STARVING. I usually don’t eat breakfast because I eat so much at night. So I got up because I was hungry and ate around a cup of blueberries and went to bed again. Then I ate breakfast this morning...coffee, oatmeal, banana. Then I had a snack a couple of hours later. I think now that I’m not going to be chowing down at night so much my body will have to get used to eating at the right times of the day. So weird...can’t wait to have normal eating hours and not wake up in the middle of night starving!
9/22: Forgot to weigh myself 🙄 Got to get used to that! Ate REALLY well yesterday. Went to a soccer match and I ate a cookie (yum!) but I am not going to feel bad about it, bc other than that I was good. Walked a bit too much though and had to ice my foot/ankle when I got home.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/15 – 180.0 Hello everyone! As I get nearer to my weight loss goals I am transitioning this round to 20-50 net carbs per day with the intent of staying in a fat burning mode. I am keeping my calorie goal the same which is 1277. My original goals when I started my journey in January 2018 was to lose 8-10 pounds per month . My newest goals are to lose 1.5 pounds per week, 6 pounds per month. I am carrying a bit of water weight from a travel day earlier this week. However, at my general weight I am 30 pounds from my complete goal weight with approx 60 pounds lost. My ticker will reflect this when I shed the water back off. Yesterday I stayed within calorie goal but went quite a bit over on my carb goal. As my business slows down I find I am walking a lot less and will have to build in more planned exercise and intentional walking. In the end, my hope is to reach 145 pounds by Valentine’s Day. I am building in an 8 pound cushion as I expect to gain a bit of water weight when transitioning to higher carbs and calories. My final goal would be to weigh about 153. I then intend to keep my carbs and calories in a maintenance level to help keep my T2D in control or in remission. I would love to hear everyone’s exact plan for their weight loss and fitness goals as we go along. I know a lot of great ideas may come of these readings. Good luck everyone on this round!

9/18 - No weigh. Out of town.
9/19 - 178.6
9/20 - 177.0 A great big thanks to everyone for sharing their overall plans to reach their goals. Whether it’s 10 day goals, mini goals or overall goals and plans, I learn so much. Hugs to you all.
9/21 - 176.4
9/22 - 176.0 I feel like the comeback kid every round. @AR10at50 is right. This is hard. But this IS the time that I will get to my destination. I’m feeling pretty good about my diet & exercise plan in this very moment. Last night I hand sewed more of my favorite blouses to make them smaller (I haven’t used a sewing machine since Jr. High). Inside out the stitches look pretty horrid, but you can’t tell on the outside so I am very pleased. All these clothes are temporary anyway. I’m on my way DOWN. I have long travel days every round. Sometimes I am not perfect in the moment, the meal or even for the whole day. But I've proven to myself that it cannot derail me. My NSV is that I willingly and HAPPILY get back on track.
9/23 - [bcolor=green]176.6[/color=green] Out to dinner last night with friends. Had a lasagna dinner (oh no!) but I boxed half immediately and took it home for my son so the damage wasn’t too bad for either one of us. A small dish of icecream at the restaurant completed the meal. I probably should have skipped that. @jerier is so right about restaurant meals blowing you up. I was immediately bloated and still feel that way a bit today. After dinner I walked briskly for 1.5 miles burning off more calories than the icecream. The scale only fluctuated slightly this morning and my glucose did not test badly either. Parsley & lemon water for me today. Thanks Tish!

9/19: 253.6 - Woot woot! That's more like it!
9/20: 252 - I was surprised to see that number today. I ate pizza but worked out quite a bit to fit it in my calories. Unfortunately, I smashed my foot into the couch and either sprained or broke my little toe so I have to take it easy for a while.
9/21: 251.4 - My foot doesn't hurt as much today. Had spaghetti last night and it was delicious!
9/22: 251.4 - Can't wait till I can start working out again. I'm going to try the stationary bike for a little bit today and see how it goes.
9/23: 249.6 - What!!! Was not expecting that. Got on the stationary bike yesterday and felt okay. I even had some Dr. Pepper which I haven't had in a long time. I feel really good about my loss this round so far.

Round 53 (My 7th round)
9/15 157.5 Today is my 60th day on MFP. I am so happy that I took this step to a healthier me, and haven't given up even though I am still fairly new. I now weigh less than my husband. (He is only a couple of inches taller than me). I know weight is only a number, and us women have the "goodies" men don't lol but it was a constant bother to me. I'm not even sure why because he's not a big guy at all. He's always loved me the way I am, but I never dared tell him my weight before. Anyways, hope its a wonderful round for you all ❤
9/16 157.5 I need to get my sweet tooth back under control. Made cookies and told myself I was just gonna have 1. That did not happen so I just used cookies as my dinner lol.
9/17 157 the scale was bouncing between 155 and 157, I'll go with 157 for now because I didn't make the best food choices yesterday. Happy to see a loss though! Goal for today is to resist mall sweets and foods, my sis in law and I are having a girls day. I know we will be going out for lunch too.
9/18 157 happy to see this number again. Still not making the best food choices but staying in calorie range. Today already started off bad, my Grandma bought me Mcdonalds.
9/19 156.5 I didn't let my breakfast ruin my whole day yesterday. Had a smoothie for dinner. 🙂 Thinking I may change my ultimate goal to 130-135 instead of 140. Maybe. Going to see how the next couple rounds go.
9/20 157 I expected to see a little gain as my carbs and sugar were high yesterday.
9/21 156.5 Yesterday was a tough day again because I craved sugar all day. Usually fruit helps but didn't yesterday. Seems like this is happening a lot this round. It's going to get better though I'm not going to allow myself to fall back into old habits. Just trying to keep myself busy. I have added diet drinks in every so often, where as I was only drinking coffee and water. I almost wonder if this is what's causing it.
9/22 156 😊 yesterday was a good day other than a little back pain. Pushed through it though and got my exercise in, and felt better afterwards. Thinking if I stay good with my macros the next couple of days I can finish with my round goal of 155 😊.
9/23 Didn't weigh in this morning. Slept a little later than I wanted, so was rushed getting ready for church and forgot.

9/22- 187.2- So my little brother went on the scale and his weight was showing to be 79 pounds but he's a little more than 100 so I think I need to buy a new scale but my weight seems probable since I did really well yesterday. Not sure so I will purchase a new scale but for now it might be okay. But I am a LITTLE concerned since it was doing weird things yesterday as well. Also, I'm going out to eat today with family so I'm not sure that scale will be good to me tomorrow but I'm determined to get right back to eating right after. This will be hard for me because I tend to feel bad about myself after eating badly like I let myself down but I need to get out of that habit because some days won't be perfect. That's life. No need to feel bad about it if it's not an everyday occurrence.
@ssssanaaaa Definitely purchase an accurate scale. I like to read as many reviews as possible before buying. I've even brought a heavy item that I can test the accuracy with, lol. (a 20 lb dumbbell)
Yes, the number on your scale may or may not be accurate, the important thing is that you are showing a downward trend which is awesome. :bigsmile:
@jerier oo that's smart to weigh something you KNOW the weight of first! Going to try that right now lol1 -

9/19 -188.7- really happy about this. Let's take it down more! Next mini goal weight is 185.0 (but GW for this challenge is 186.5).
9/20- 188.3- woohoo! I didn't do as well yesterday as I wanted to but today went really well so hopefully the scale delivers
9/21-187.9- The scale kept showing me different numbers. I usually weigh myself twice to account for random error. But the two numbers were off (187.9 then 187.1) and so I decided to do it again somewhere else and got no straight answer (188.1, 187.5). Just went with the first number I originally got. Seemed most likely to happen. At least they were all lower than yesterday's number
9/22- 187.2- So my little brother went on the scale and his weight was showing to be 79 pounds but he's a little more than 100 so I think I need to buy a new scale but my weight seems probable since I did really well yesterday. Not sure so I will purchase a new scale but for now it might be okay. But I am a LITTLE concerned since it was doing weird things yesterday as well.
