9/25 / 220.2
9/26/ 220 / Life is crazy. Dealing with fallout from husband's cancer diagnosis (latest word that it may be benign! Fingers crossed!) and the resulting crazy uncertainty.
9/27 / 219.6 / So tired.
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!
9/29 / 219
9/30 / 218.8 / Exercised a lot of minutes again yesterday while watching stressful baseball games.9 -

I’m 59, female, mostly plant based, and lover of outdoors. This is my fourth round; the first one really kept me accountable, the second one was an eye-opener and the third one was really hard. What I have learned: 1) my foods and the amounts really matter; 2) My tracking needs to be accurate and if I eat it, it needs to be tracked; 3) Don’t let a slip turn into an all-out landslide! This round’s goals: no eating after supper (and eat at the table, not in front of the TV), no trigger foods, get back up when I fall, develop a “fall” work-out plan (by 10/1/18), and to stay up-to-date with my Bible study. Honor God with my food choices!

9/29/18 – 122.4 / time was tight and I ended up walking on the treadmill yesterday during a conference call! Fish fry last night (baked cod), but I did have French fries! 60 minutes of water aerobics this morning and an additional walk planned before the rain comes!
9/30/18 – 124.4 / Got a lot of steps in yesterday (20,000+) and a water aerobics class. Had popcorn last night (homemade) and that usually bring my weight up, so it’s expected. Hopefully tomorrow it’s back down. Fighting a headache today and because of that I’m fighting cravings for junk foods. Being accountable to this with you all and praying for strength. Have a great Sunday!

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.
29/09 Nothing much to report had another maintenance day.
30/09 Good week for everything but food
not been great at the old food intake this week. 6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 - removed due to technical issue with scales
9/26 - 83.0kg, successfully fasted for 16.5hrs! I think this weigh in is on the lower end of my fluctuations where yesterday was on the upper end. It’s motivating regardless
9/27 - 82.5kg, just over 3hours left of my second 16hr fast! I’ve been weighing myself at different times of the day so getting a lot of variation. It’s great to see the scale to go down but I’m not holding onto these lower numbers just yet. The past two days I’ve weighed myself after eating, but today was before eating, so perhaps the first weigh-in was over?
9/28 - 82.8kg, weighed first thing this morning. I have just over 4hrs left of my fast, really loving IF! I have my period so I imagine some bloating is factoring in, but not too concerned, it’s a slow process and I trust it
9/29 - 82.6kg, I broke my fast two hours early yesterday and ate food that was really hard to track
but that ended up being all I ate yesterday so I still think I would have been under 1200cals. I am 100% sure my first weigh in was inaccurately high, after I’ve discovered a technical issue with my scales. So I’m going to remove that first one and just go off 9/26
9/30 - 84.2kg??????? Water weight? TOM? Very big dinner (still under 1200cals for day!) I’m sure it’ll come back down soon but it was disheartening to see, and I really wanted to just quit and eat terrible food for breakfast. Staying strong and sticking to IF though!! Good thing I packed a salad for work lunch
10/1 - 82.3kg, still going well with IF. I weighed myself later in the day yesterday and was at 82.2kg which is much better than the morning weigh in!!!! Consistently staying under 1200cals too

9/25 155.6 well well well, look who decided to show lol. So apparently my mind can't adjust fast enough to my new weight (especially because I thinks it's the fastest I have ever lost) so being apart of a few groups I accidently weighed in last weekend at 166.6 instead of 156.6 😣😣 oops. Well you are all witnesses to the proof I have of my actual weight lol. But even still, every morning I still have to check 3 or 4 times because I can't believe it. Hopefully the next 10 pounds won't be as unbelievable.
9/26 154.4 whoooooooooosh!! Why, no clue. I did work out hard yesterday but still... wow. Today I have been having some anxiety. I have worked out hard and have been eating normally. I don't starve and I don't deny myself (unless it's super junk food, then that's all will power) I know mentally I have been doing everything right and my quick weight loss is all activity and portion control....but I'm starting to feel scared. I'm scared that it will be so easy to gain it all back if I jump the wagon again..I'm scared of having to do this again for 10000 time if i slack. I am looking forward to improve and not be re set into my old ways but who knows what the future holds. The only reassurance I have is not all my rounds have been perfect and weeks like last week have happened ( I was so hungry all week and pretty much had the worst eating week since I have started) but my gains haven't been too large and I still end it with losses. I am assuming as long as I never binge again I will be fine...but I don't know.
9/27 154.4 holding steady. I had munchies last night but settled for 2 pieces of dark chocolate. Worked out well but didn't do as much as I wanted. Drank 1.2 liters of water. I am feeling bloated though, 2 days away from TOM. Today I went to the hospital with my aunt, she has some inflammation in her leg and we just wanted to check it out, just in case (she is a cancer survivor so anything becomes worrisome) and to thank me for coming out she took me to a pub where we ordered chicken schnitzel and frites..it was delicious but I know it will negatively reflect on my weight tomorrow morning. Oops😞😞
9/28 154 wow. Didn't expect this. I guess I didn't do as much damage as I thought. TOM is due tomorrow and I usually expect a gain but this time hasn't seemed too bad which is kind of weird. Well see what happens tomorrow
9/29 155.8 and whoooosh back up again 😥😥😫😥 that's ok, I expected this given my TOM arrived and I am feeling crazy bloated. Yesterday I had a high sodium day as well so that definitley has something to do with it. Past couple of days haven't been great in the eating department but I am done all my responsibilities that have been derailing me so back at it today and back to regular schedule. I feel like the past two weeks have been weird so I am changing it from here on out to get back in control and stop laxing...and now that my TOM has arrived I have no excuse. Honestly I don't even care about my weight...at all I just don't want to feel bloated and puggy anymore lol... ackkkk what a day. I also am going to have to work on my mentality. I am not being negative but I am starting to feel more obsessed when I need to exchange that for greatfulness.
For example if I get in an hour and a half of cardio and no strength for the day, I need to stop giving myself a hard time because I don't think it's enough. I have to accept there aren't enough hours in the day. I have been finding that if I don't work out for 3+ hours I give myself issues...but after doing the math it just isn't possible without sacrificing eating or sleeping...so that needs to stop.
9/30 no scale. Had to get up and go grocery shopping with my mom and wasn't able to weigh in. I originally wanted to, to keep myself accountable because I had a big binge day yesterday 😣😣 wasn't good at all and got very little exercise in. So far today I have been good (probably because I am still full from yesterday's binge) but we will have to see how it reflects on my weight for tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great weekend though 😄

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25- 188.9- was a little disappointed this didn't go down since yesterday but I'm really motivated to see the numbers go down tomorrow! Will make sure to plan and eat under calories today!
9/26- 190.1-
I had rice last night. And I tend to go up on the scale any time I have rice. Will try to avoid and this better go down tomorrow. Tonight I have everything planned. Definitely not going to go back to the 190s. Hell no.
9/27- 188.3- Thank god. Did really well yesterday. Even had a slice of pizza but still under calories. Going to try to eat healthier tonight and still be under my calories. So far so good. Really want to reach my goal for this challenge. Also I'm going to the gym today after my vacation so that's good. I'm excited. I'm seeing my friends tomorrow to watch a movie but we all said we want to eat healthy so hopefully that works out.
9/28- 188.2- Wanted this to go down more since I was under my calories yesterday but I'm happy it didn't go up or something. Going in the right direction. Mini victory: Yesterday my mom made rice with kofta and I love rice but I decided to make some broccoli (which I also love) so I filled my plate with mostly broccoli and just a couple spoons of rice as well as kofta. And I stopped eating once I felt full which happened fast since the broccoli is satiating for me. That definitely helped me not fluctuate up this morning. Also I worked out yesterday. Strength training and cardio but I got tired faster than I did before vacation so have to build up to not being like that again. Crazy how quickly we can become unfit! Plans got cancelled today with friends so I'm planning on eating healthy today again! And want to be under calories so I see the scale budge more than it did today.
9/29- 187.7- woohoo! Haven't been this low in a while. Want to keep it going. Will stay under calories today even though it's the weekend! I'm determined. Also I'm still sore from working out. But will exercise today.
9/30- 186.8- yayy! Really happy about this. I've really been controlling myself. Yesterday, my mom and brother got something to eat when we went to Costco- I refused. Stayed under calorie goal yesterday. REALLY want to reach 185. It's my mini goal and I'm making good progress! I hope this doesn't stagger! Will try to be good today as well. So far so good. I've saved up some calories since I know I'm having a bigger dinner. Been snacking on blackberries and strawberries. Feeling pretty good. Will go to the gym tomorrow.

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.
9/29 - 150.5 - I had a piece of pizza for lunch yesterday and I brought some home so I had a piece for supper. It was Pizza Hut and I checked their web site for nutritional information. I noted the information and when I went to input on MFP I realized how far off the database calories were. My large piece on Pizza Hut's site was 340 calories. In the database people had recorded from 240 to 270 calories. I've seen variations before but nothing that drastic for something that verifiable. That was a reminder for me to double check all my foods.
9/30 - 151.5 - I did not want to weigh this morning. I knew I ate/drank over weight loss calories, but below maintenance and I know what that does to my water retention. We have out of town family in again and there was some celebrating yesterday. I've been better today so hopefully I'll drop back a half pound or so by Thursday.

In for my 11th Round!
Round 44 End Weight = 165.8 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 45 End Weight = 164.9 (0.9 lbs lost)
Round 46 End Weight = 159.6 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 47 End Weight = 157.2 (2.4 lbs lost)
Round 48 End Weight = 155.2 (2.0 lbs lost)
Round 49 End Weight = 151.2 (4.0 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."
9/29 = No Weigh in. Much improvement in my foot injury but still very painful and can't bear weight fully. I have to have a brace on my foot to bear any weight at all. So won't be weighing in until I can stand without that. I've being using an Arnica cream since Friday on my foot and added in Arnica tablets as well today, hope these help I found a woman on YouTube that has a series of workout videos for people who have an injured foot and did one today. I don't think these will burn really any calories but at least will hopefully keep me in the correct mindset. I think tomorrow I'll do a Pilates mat workout.
9/30 = No Weigh in, still in brace. Thank you for all the well wishes & hugs, the support on this board is the best! Foot pain is still the same as yesterday. I rested pretty much all day to stay off my foot but that kind of got me in a funk...wallowed in a little self pity & felt a little weepy all day. But I stayed on track with my calories and did a 20 minute Pilates mat workout (no weight bearing involved). Hopefully, I will bounce back tomorrow mood wise.

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.
9/29- 173.2 Made it to the gym for weight training and cardio first thing this morning, unfortunately I don't have a plan for eating but I may do grocery shopping today for some healthy options. My goal is to at least maintain 173.2lb until Monday
9/30- 173.2 Not sure how I managed to be 173.2 again especially considering I haven't made the best food choices this weekend, but I'll take it. No gym or treadmill today, to much to do, but I will be at it in the morning. Really hoping I have maintained at least 173.2 on Monday morning weigh-in.

9/26 146.8 I would love a glass of wine, but I must resist. Herbal tea it is.
9/27 146.4 Too much sugar today, and I'm feeling the effects. I'll see the consequences tomorrow. I don't feel good.
9/28 146.6 My husband's out of town for a week on a hunting trip. The kids are also on a health food kick, so I think this will be an opportune week for me. ; ) Or maybe not. I came home tired and stressed and opened a bottle of wine. I teach middle school. It's sad how it's rarely the kids who stress me out; it's most often adults whose agendas are adult issues - not kid issues.
9/29 146.6 I see my personal trainer today. Hopefully I can make it a habit again to relieve stress through exercise.
9/30 151.0 WHAAAAT?!?!?! I made poor eating choices yesterday, but I had a great workout. My shoulder injury (torn labrum) seems to have healed, so now I get to workout to build back mobility and strengthen. The rest of the day I was strapped to my computer to catch up on grading. : (

@quiltingjaine , thanks for the info. So far, I'm not having problems. Cruciferous veggies are my favorites, so I'm good there. I took a Twice-Baked Cauliflower Casserole to church today, and it was a hit, especially with our diabetic pastor.
Thanks for the links and recommendations, too. I watched one and started "The Magic Bullet." I'm going to save that one to watch with my husband this week.
Any recommendations for fattening my husband up while I'm losing weight? He has some stomach issues and not much of an appetite. I feel a little guilty giving him carbs now, but he's not ready to give them up.4 -

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.
29/09 Nothing much to report had another maintenance day.
30/09 Good week for everything but food not been great at the old food intake this week.
01/10 Had a lovely row in West Cork yesterday, only a couple of hours out on the water but it was very relaxing. End of a very bad week for calories, still feeling off, not quite sick but not quite well. Thankful though that I am not suffering from the chest infections I used to pick up easily, up until a couple of years ago.10 -

9/25 192.0 - I’m hoping this daily accountability will help me keep my eating in check
9/26: 194.8 - I have no words
9/27: 193.0 - Ate better yesterday & had my pilates class. Seemed to do the trick. Yay!
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!
9/29: 192.6 - Pleasantly surprised but I’m thinking my weight change is a day or two behind my actions - be it exercise & eating right or just the opposite. I’ll enjoy my numbers today as tomorrow it will be a completely different story. I can’t remember what someone wrote in an earlier post but I liked it - something about the scale is just a number not my life. I’ll have to go back & find the correct quote. I’m going to start focusing on how I FEEL each day & not let the scale dictate that anymore.
9/30: 193.2 - It is what it is but it’s actually better than I thought. I should change my goal for this round to get back to my STARTING WEIGHT!! First round for me & I’m shaking it down. Quite the reality check weighing in everyday. I feel good things are going to happen in October!!
10/1: 192.4 - I’ll take it!! Plan is to eat smart today & Zumba tonight (first time in about 10 years-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.
9/29 - 150.5 - I had a piece of pizza for lunch yesterday and I brought some home so I had a piece for supper. It was Pizza Hut and I checked their web site for nutritional information. I noted the information and when I went to input on MFP I realized how far off the database calories were. My large piece on Pizza Hut's site was 340 calories. In the database people had recorded from 240 to 270 calories. I've seen variations before but nothing that drastic for something that verifiable. That was a reminder for me to double check all my foods.
9/30 - 151.5 - I did not want to weigh this morning. I knew I ate/drank over weight loss calories, but below maintenance and I know what that does to my water retention. We have out of town family in again and there was some celebrating yesterday. I've been better today so hopefully I'll drop back a half pound or so by Thursday.
10/1 - 151.5 - Back to the office and back to trying to lose these next few pounds.8 -
In all, I want to drop 55 (so I have 51 and a half left now). I'm 5'6" and started weighing 185 lbs, so my goal is about 130. I'm trying to set small, realistic goals so that I can motivate myself with my successes.
My goal for this round is to stay under my calorie goal, 1200, and to lose 3 more pounds.

9/25 181.5; 48 oz of water. 1,000 calories. I’M HUNGRY!!!!
9/26 - 181.2; Didn’t do very well on water intake today, but managed to consume only 1,000 calories. Keto diet is going well, eating lots of fat and around 20 grams of carbs.
9/27 - 182; Ugh. 128 oz of water. Purposely went over my calorie goal today to give my body a sort of restart. 31 grams of carbs. 1,779 calories.
9/28 - Still 182. 1 gallon of water. Ate slightly under 1,121 calories. 16 grams of carbs. Really frustrating that I can’t lose. Trying not to get too discouraged.
9/29 - Yay! Went down to 180.8 today!! Ate slightly under 1200 calories. About 1 gallon of water. 13 grams of carbs. Still only in moderate ketosis, but I honestly feel I am dong well about carb intake and being honest about what I’m eating, so hopefully my body will catch up soon.
9/30 - I’m so discouraged!!! Back up to 182.2. Ate 12 grams of carbs, under 1200 calories. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m gonna start exercising Monday to see if that will kickstart my immune system.

9/30 - no scale
10/1 - 72kg. I know it's all down to travel and the food I ate. But since it is a lifestyle change, not a diet, I have to be ok with these fluctuations. Trips and get togethers will always be part of my life, I just have to be disciplined on the normal days.
I will see if I can go boxing tonight, tiredness may hit me before, class only starts at 8pm. Will definitely go for a walk at lunch.
10/2 - dinner&drinks
10/3 - yoga?
10/4 - run?

@SarahHW18 don't get discouraged! Are your calories total or net? Maybe you're not eating enough? 1200 is very low either way, maybe try 1300 or 1400 for a couple of weeks?
@tinkerbellang83 oh I am planning a short trip to Cork this year to visit a close friend, it is beautiful around there.5
