9/28 - 161.6 (-2.6) Been on the road again this week and not weighing in but had access to good food - salads proteins and 100% stayed away from dessert, smoothies, bread, fruit platters. Commitment paid off. For any Canucks in the Big Smoke - CIBC Run for the Cure is on this Sunday Sept 30 downtown. Raises money for the cancer society. It is the largest single-day, volunteer-led event in Canada in support of the breast cancer cause. Walk or Run up to 1 km. Sponsor a friend! Runs in many cities so check out the website.

9/28: 193.2 - Soooooo disappointed. Did another pilates last night, ate good all day, felt “skinny” this morning & I’m up point two. Now I have to deal with the weekend. Yikes!

9/25 - 151.5 - I had to hop on the scale a couple times to believe it this morning. I hope it sticks around!
9/26 - 151 - Wow, 1 lb. from my top goal weight. I know my weight will be bouncing up and down over the next week due to water, stress, etc., but seeing this number makes me so happy this morning!
9/27 - 150 - WooHoo! I certainly did not expect to see this! This has been my goal weight since I joined MFP back in February of 2015 weighing 188. I lost and gained back around 15 pounds for 3 years until March of this year. Starting at 186, I decided to really make an effort this time. My loss stalled in May, so I started looking for something to give me the motivation to continue. I found this 10 day challenge. The daily weighing, advice, commiseration, victories, etc. have made all the difference this time. I can't tell you how much I've learned from reading all of your daily stories. Thank you to all!
9/28 - 150.5 - I'm fine with this. I ate about 1100 calories yesterday, so I'm sure it's water retention. Our office has a vendor bringing in pizza for lunch so I'll try to drink plenty of water today.

]This round is week 2 of my dietitian-designed 6-8 week anti-inflammation elimination diet. Sticking to it and feeling much better already!
Goals:
Food ~~ Follow anti-inflammation elimination diet - learn new food tricks!
Exercise ~~ rebuild to 60-90 minutes/day of walking/swimming; restart weight training & yoga when joint pain subsides.
Weight ~~ no goal - happy anywhere between 130-140 for now, but continuing to lose to 130 would be great.

9/25 - 136.8 - 1186
Rainy day today, but I'm feeling enough better (no more joint pain!) to restart weight training, so off to the gym. The clothing purge continues as I break out the fall and winter clothes. I just sadly realized that my raincoat, which I love, is way too big. So sad -- NOT!
Happy day, all!
9/26 - 135.2 - 1309
Blow me over with a feather! I weighed myself 4 times with a scale reset to be sure this was right. Came out the same every time! I am trying to add some calories, but I'm also back to walking more. Anyway, I'm thinking my dream goal of 130 isn't impossible after all. I wish I knew which food I've eliminated has helped revive my downward trajectory. It can't all be water (although I feel much less puffy and didn't even know I was puffy). Keep at it, all - absolutely worth the effort!
9/27 - 135.6 - 1305
Okay, 35+ wasn't a fluke. I had more sodium than usual yesterday, so all good.
9/28 - 135.2 - 1111
Third time's a charm, so I guess it's real. I've finished the prednisone and feel great. I'm hoping to do some gardening this afternoon - I have a rose I want to move. Gorgeous morning! Have a lovely weekend, all!

Round 52 SW: 204
Round 52 EW: 202
Round 53 EW: 198
Goal: whatever these 10 days bring!
My initial loss has me motivated.. I feel like I can’t put a goal this round yet because goals actually de-motivate me lol I’m still over 30lbs of my pre-baby weight. I just need to do what’s best when it comes to eating and trust the system and results. It worked for me last summer!
9/25- 197.5 - good starting point though many temptations today since I’m stuck inside in this terrible weather with two cranky children and mama is also cranky as a result lol
9/26 - 197!
9/27 - 196.5 - nice! I’m trying to go less off of tracking and more trusting my body when it’s actually hungry (running around with the babies is a big help because I don’t have time to eat until I make time.. so really only happens when I’m actually hungry). Also went on a nice walk with baby carrier (added weight!)
9/28 - 197 - expected that or more. Did great all day and then hubby came home with cupcakes and brownies from a bake sale... I had a very sweet very late night snack 🤦🏻♀️

@MadisonMolly2017 Yes, thank you for your post! It really helps to remind me that it is not about any "goal" number I have in my head, and reading your journey, that's what I am working towards. Small changes, living my life, habits forming, my body gradually getting back to a healthy weight. You are amazing, happy 1000!6

9/28 / 218.8 / I exercised a TON yesterday, though I'll admit that it was partially so I could have some cake. Sometimes, I just want some cake. I did a workout at a higher level than ever before (3 sets instead of 5) and feel a bit smug at my progress. I'm still tired today, and I don't have more news, but I don't feel quite so sick tired as I did yesterday. Progress!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 DNW Holy Moley, I had to leave super early for a work issue and didn't weigh, definitely subconsciously skipped the weigh in on purpose since I ate over 2000 calories yesterday, full disclosure. We will see what tomorrow looks like!
9/26 150.8 Second day of eating whatever, it was my daughter's birthday and I made quite the spread. Broke my no second's rule, indulged in warm fresh birthday donuts for dessert...plan for today through end of round is low carb. We are celebrating again on Friday with 40+ people and she requested a Southern menu, any recipes out there for brisket? I have never made it.
9/27 150.2 Good day eating, low carb higher protein, walked the hill, same plan for today. Thank you everyone for the support, and welcome to all the new people! It's a great, supportive group!
9/28 149.4 Still feeling the bloat and general discomfort of the 2 days of eating without tracking, but yesterday was good. Tonight 40+ people at my house for my daughter's birthday, Brisket, Ribs, Mac and Cheese, Green Beans, Cornbread, Salad, and her favorite Napoleon for dessert on the menu per her request. Not my normal cooking style, but it's looking tasty. Salad for me, I plan on front loading my lean protein before the function so I can just cook/mingle/hold babies and not eat! Countdown 1 week to Maui!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 178.6 I can tell from the way my rings are biting into my fingers that there is some water retention going on here. (ETA) Began the day with C25K second workout. t was a little harder than the first one- i had to take a longer walk break in the middle but I got it done!
9/26 179.2 up but not a problem Annual trip to the ball game with DS1 last night. Skipped the beer (not hard) skipped the sweet potato fries (heroic effort). Had a smoked sausage on a bun - so lots of sodium.
9/27 179.2 today is the last day of special events and projects that have been going on all of September. Things should be calmer and more focused for the next few weeks - tempting fate to say that I know, but fingers crossed.
9/28 179 overslept - so did not begin with a "run" will try to catch up later in the day.

Starting weight on Monday (9/24) 177LBS
9/25- 175.4 Hit the gym and lifted weights, kept cals. in check for the day, feeling good!
9/26 -174.6 Hit the gym again for cardio trying to make it a habit so I went Mon, Tues and Wed so far this week. Will be going tomorrow as well for weight training.
9/27- 174.2 Hit the gym again this morning (4am), weight training and intervals on the treadmill. Eating went well again yesterday stayed the course. I need some rest, so no gym tomorrow morning. I will make an effort to get up and move while at work though.
9/28- 173.2- No gym truly needed the rest after 4 consecutive days, will walk for 30mins at lunch today. Also, will be back at the gym tomorrow for weight training/cardio. Feeling pretty good, but the weekend scares me as that's where I usually fall off. My goal for this weekend is to at least maintain this current weight till Monday.

25/09 Nothing much of note to report today, had a lazy logging day yesterday, probably ate a bit more than I should've. I started my bullet diary again for my NSV goals. Made sure to take my vitamins and get plenty of fluids as I'm getting all the warning signs I get before I get a cold. Same aims today and to complete my bullet journal with yesterday's info.
26/09 Still not feeling great ate a bunch of rubbish yesterday again, logged it all this time at least. All goals for the day completed. Today's goal is to finish under maintenance, stay away from the supermarket and get plenty of protein/fibre in.
27/09 Feeling much better and had a much better day of food/activity yesterday and kept it up so far this morning too. Goals for today, stick to food plan, stay away from supermarket and give apartment a deep clean this evening instead of sitting on the sofa in front of the TV all night.
28/09 Yesterday's goals mostly met, did make myself a protein hot chocolate last night which took me a little closer to maintenance than I would have liked but hey that's still a deficit. Got a load of cleaning done and only spent about 40 mins watching TV on the sofa whilst I had dinner and said Hot Chocolate. Today's goals are to hydrate and try to get a lower body workout in this evening either in the work gym or at home.10 -

9/25 - Tuesday - 183.8 - Back at it after taking last round off. Was feeling down about a few days of increased scale numbers due to "taking a weekend off" and TOM. Took a few days to remind myself that the scale is just data, not judgement. It was a bit of struggle to eat well during this time - the comfort food cravings have been strong. But last nights NSV came when I revamped my grocery list to be a little more veggie centric. Got my low carb wraps for lunch again rather than sub rolls - chicken and ground turkey instead of red meat and more red meat, and avoided most of the desserts. I'm being more mindful of overeating - I didnt need the last piece of pizza I ate last night, but I had logged it so I felt justified - today I'm acknowledging that I overate beyond my feeling of fullness. This round I really just want to revamp habits that have been working for me and start trusting the process again - Wake up early, drink shake, take fish oil, lots of water at work, AM meds, eat packed lunch, have a 3pm snack, pm meds, cook dinner at home, take fish oil, walk dog, get a good nights sleep.
9/26 - Wednesday - 183.8 - A good day yesterday! Listened to my hunger cues - lunch was not appealing - ate most of my calories later on in the day but did not overeat! Gave last 1/4 of my burger to DH! Forgot fish oil but the habit is improving. Lots of water, need to get on that today! Dinner at parents house tonight - mom is a healthy cook so just need to reign in my portions and log the best I can. Visualizing 182 sticking around this round!
9/27 - Thursday - 181.0 - Had some tummy troubles over night so not exactly sure this number will stick around. But I ate smart yesterday - enjoyed a little of everything at my moms. Had to stay up late due to flood warnings and slept terrible. So morning habits went out the window, no breakfast, no lunch packed. But I did get up nice and early despite my exhaustion - it will definitely be a bed early kind of night!
9/28 - Friday - 180.0 - Migraine yesterday from 10a-2p made me skip lunch entirely. Had to lay down for 20 minutes because it was so bad I thought I was going to yak. Yikes. All from not having coffee first thing?! Taco bell breakfast yesterday and again this morning - coming into work earlier means being hungry more, so need to get back to protein shake for breakfast. Struggling to take fish oil - just not making it a priority and I need to. Also need lots of water today or I'll be sorry. I can feel the migraine lingering waiting to pounce the second Im dehydrated. Today by BMI standards I am overweight not obese! Adding in another short term goal for 170.0 by 2019!

9/26 176.4 My trip to the dentist was a little easier than I expected! And not only did I get 10,000 steps yesterday but I surpassed it! I ended the day at 11,289 which is great for a day off. I have to be really intentional about it on days off. I'm happy with it.
9/27 177.2 Water weight? I was under on calories yesterday.
9/28 177.6 Alright now...😒 I can tell that TOM is coming because I'm craving chocolate and sweets like crazy! I was able to have some chocolate yesterday and still be under calories. My son joined me in my evening walk last night which was nice!

13th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Last round I wrote “I’m hoping that [planning meals & gym] will kick up the loss and I can make it under 150 by Christmas.” Having not done any figuring of course. Now that I figure it out there are 8 rounds before Christmas. So that is a possible goal for me but doesn’t allow for cheat days. Hmm, wonder if there were no cheat days where I would end up? So my goal for this round is – No cheat days where I snack in the evenings. No getting carried away with extra large portions at meals because I like that food or I’m stressed.Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2Round 54 – SW 158.4, goal EW – under 158

Round 47 – SW 162.4, loss -2.2
Round 48 – SW 160.2, missed most of this round and Round 49 as I was away without computer or scale.
Round 50 – SW 160.2, loss -.8
Round 51 – SW 160.8, loss -1
Round 52 – on holidays, no scale
Round 53 – SW 159.8, loss -1.4
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. This is less than 1 lb. per round but as I realize that may not be possible as I get lower (close to 27 rounds till then so 1 lb per round would put me at 131).
Day/Weight/Comment
9/25, Tuesday – 158.4
So great to see this number. I know as I get to the lower 150’s, I have way less foot, ankle, knee issues and can walk a lot further. So looking forward to that.
9/26, Wednesday – 158.6 No gym today as have too much to do getting ready for company next week. Should keep me active though.

Round 44 End Weight = 165.8 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 45 End Weight = 164.9 (0.9 lbs lost)

Round 50 End Weight = 149.9 (1.3 lbs lost)
Round 51 End Weight = 146.2 (3.7 lbs lost)
Round 52 End Weight = 143.7 (2.5 lbs lost)
Round 53 End Weight = 143.1 (0.6 lbs lost)
Stats = 5'4 female, age 48
Highest Weight = 172 lbs (June 18, 2018)
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)
Round 54 Goal: Range of 139.9-142.0 (Either my weigh-loss is really slowing down and I need a more reasonable goal OR I am due for a big loss after the last round and a more aggressive goal is possible)
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in weeks 10-11), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/day
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.
9/25 = 143.7 (up .6 from yesterday) Little bounce back up, went out to dinner last night, made good choices, most likely under calories but retaining water. My scale still has my water percentage up over 2% from it's normal number. Yesterday was a rest day in my 90 day challenge, but back at it today with day 64 of 90. Plus lots and lots of lemon & cucumber water today. I'm looking for a whoosh to be coming this week! Welcome to all out new group members!
9/26 = 142.9 (down .8 from yesterday) Small drop down from my Sunday weight. If the water percentage on my scale is correct, I'm still retaining water though. Yesterday I really didn't eat much, wasn't very hungry until it was too late at night. I do 16:8 so once the window closes, I'm done for the night. I completed day 64 of 90 workout yesterday and it was the hardest one yet. It really got me! Today is day 65 of 90, I haven't looked at it yet to see what it is, but I imagine it will be a tough one as well!
9/27 = 142.0 (down .9 from yesterday) Very challenging day yesterday. I've mentioned before my daughter has mental health issues (how I dealt with this stress was the cause of my weight gain) and yesterday was one of those days. She goes long periods of time with everything being relatively "normal' but really the anxiety is building underneath and waiting to explode. Yesterday was an explosion. I did not get my workout in due to this BUT I handled the stressful situation much better than in the past & did NOT stress eat & did NOT self-medicate with wine. Calling it a difficult but successful day. We saw her therapist last night, adjusted her medication & she is in much better spirits this morning. Today, I have a very busy day at work, my boss is going out of the country for 2 weeks so lots to get done before he goes and this evening I am hosting a party with some ladies from my social club. I've got a couple hors d'oeuvres to prep for the party and really want a mani/pedi, not enough hours in the day. BUT, I've got to make time for some self-care today and the best thing for me is to get out & go for a run and do some yoga. In the past I sacrificed myself and my needs to focus 100% on my daughter but I know now I have to take care of myself so that I am able to be there in the best possible way for her. "You can't pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first."
9/28 = 141.5 (down .5 from yesterday) Besides one mishap yesterday was a very good day. My daughter's teacher reported in that she had one of her best days since school started this year. Such good news I got everything pressing at work accomplished, went for a run, did day 67 of 90 workout, got my party food made and still had time for a mani/pedi. I had a great time at the party until it was time to go and walking to my car, I rolled my ankle in a divot in the grass that I couldn't see in the dark. I am in a fairly strong amount of pain this morning and cannot bear any weight on my right foot. My husband wanted me to go to the Dr this morning but I'm going to give it a day and do R.I.C.E. all day and see if the pain subsides at all. I'm trying to stay positive, hoping this will pass quickly and I can get back to my workouts. But if I am down for a bit for this to heal & have to pause my 90 day challenge then I will find a back-up plan that does not involve weight bearing but will still keep me moving forward in my fitness goals. "Just because you are hurt, doesn't mean you are broken."

I am a 50 year old 5'4" woman. 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 two rounds. Round 53 was my 50 birthday celebrations that upped my weight for a few days.
I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

@tiabirdie56 I wasn’t desperate for the cheesecake but had 1.5# of cream cheese that needed to be used before it was too late! I downsized the recipe and made an almond flour crust. The filling is a little dry but the taste is good. We shared a tiny slice to taste test.
