Round 54
Round 53 SW 201 EW 199.6
My goals are to stay under my calorie goal (1500 calories), 30 minute walk or exercise everyday, and drink 64 oz of water a day.
9/25- 199. Over calories. 60 minutes exercise. 64 oz water.
9/26- 200. Over calories. No exercise. 60 oz water.
9/27- 201. Yikes! Need to get back on track ASAP. Over calories. No exercise. 32 oz water.
9/28- 199. That's better. Over by 85 calories. A little improvement. 40 minutes of stationary bike. 24 oz water. I left home without my water cup and I haven't been eating as much in the beginning of the day and overeating at dinner. Need to be more aware and adjust my meal planning.
9/29- 199. Over calories. 30 min walk. 74 oz water.
9/30- 201.8. Under calories. No exercise but cleaned house all day. 74 oz water. Fingers crossed weight goes back down tomorrow.
10/1- 201.8. Over calories. No exercise. 52 oz water.
10/2- 200.4. Over calories. 60 min exercise. 56 oz water.

High carbohydrate intake makes you retain water so obviously I didn't gain a pound of fat overnight but I still hate seeing the upwards fluctuation. My mom cooks at home a lot and rice is a staple in our cultural food so it's hard to avoid completely. I'm going to try to do really well today and tomorrow (no rice lol) so that maybe I get a chance of reaching my GW this time around? We'll see. Probably a stretch but that won't stop me from trying! Was a little over calories yesterday too. But I did go to the gym so that's good.
Try cauliflower rice. You can rice it yourself in a food processor or grate it into rice using a cheese grater. You can also buy it in the frozen section. Birdseye makes it and so does Green Giant. It's the only rice I use now. There are carbs but they are WAY WAY lower than real rice. It's also a nice source of fiber and some vitamins. Once you top it it is very hard to tell the difference. I do not like cauliflower, but I eat this several times a week because what I top it with makes it delicious. I had to get used to the smell at first since I don't generally like cauliflower, but once I did, it's fantastic. I am shocked at the things I eat now because my desire to be slimmer and healthier is so strong. Best wishes.

In again for Round 54
Round 5 For me.69 YO Texas Male
Highest Weight 290
Round 50 EW 277 (-13 lbs)
Round 51 EW 284 (+7 lbs)
Round 52 EW 271 (-13 lbs)
Round 53 EW 276 (+5 lbs)
Goal this Round 269
Ultimate Goal 190
9/25 -276 lbs (No Change) These night time munchies are killing me. I do well all day then kill it after dinner. Its a real tough time. I have to get out of this mindset. Will work on other options to keep my munch monster at bay.
9/26 – (No Scale) Out of town for a few days. Staying on track yesterday and so far today all is well. Business trips make it difficult sometimes to stay with a routine. Determined to stay with this.
9/27 )(No Scale) Still holding to the program. Subway salads have become a staple for dinner lately. Easy to find one anywhere out of town. Switched from munching on peanuts when hungry to grapes. Don't know how that's going to work out. Guess I'll see in a few days.
9/28 (No Scale) Repeat of yesterday. Finally got home this morning but too late to weigh in so tomorrow morning I will see if any drop has occurred. Sure hope so because its getting difficult to keep this up. It should not be this way. Not being very active I am sure does not help anything. Ok no more negativity! I can see a difference in waist size by taking in a notch on the belt. Thats a good thing.
9/29 – 272 (-4 lbs) Well thats some improvement. Went out of town for three days and managed to lose weight. I usually either gain or maintain anytime I am away from home and outside my normal routine. Subway salads are my out of town dinners these days.
9/30 -271 (-1 lb) Yeah! I just may make it to my goal for this challenge. Sure will be nice to get out of this decade. It's been a while. Hanging on!!
10/01 -272 (+1 lb) Welcome to October. Ok its the after dinner snacking thats getting me. Time to put on the brakes full stop. No more anything after dinner. Zip, Nada, Zilch. This is a really bad habit that has to be ended! Hungry? Drink water! Have a good week everyone.
10/02 -272 (No Change) Wating for the next move down. Hope to see some improvement soon. I am getting anxious about not dropping as quickly as I wanted.

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
10/2 - 82kg !!!!!! I was so happy to see this on the scales this morning! It’s put me in a really great mindset and I just want to keep working towards my goal. I think I’ve struggled in the past to stick to this because I’m not seeing any immediate changes but weighing in every day is helping so much, and I know that IF/CICO is working
10/3 - 81.6kg, really happy with this but I’m sure it’ll go up a little bit again and that’s okay. Still going well with IF and staying under cals

9/25 99.2 I've been away for a few rounds while I finished my thesis. Thesis has been submitted and I've got a lot of “”stress weight” to shed all over again.... Went all the way back to my original starting weight…
9/26 99.5 No excuses… result of half a pack of biscuits and 2 croissants yesterday
9/27 99.1 result of spinning and running!
9/28 99.2 ….no idea..... Was good yesterday! Muscles are sore from Wednesdays gym trip though so hoping it's water retention….
9/29 99.1...
9/30 99.4 I don't know… w1d3 of c25k plus 5 hours gardening, under on calories but I gain?!?! Confused!
10/1 99.4 starting to feel like my body doesn't want to give up the winter stores!
10/2 99.6 wtaf....?!?! I did w2d1 of c25k yesterday, ate within calories (1200) yet i manage to put on again?!?!
10/3 99.3 at least It's the right direction I guess… annoying as I didn't watch my diet or get much exercise yesterday… so I behave =I gain, I relax = I lose?!?!

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.
02/10 Better day for food yesterday, made some homemade salmon fishcakes for dinner, piled the plate high with broccoli and followed up with a tasty protein hot chocolate. Exercise-wise yesterday was a rest day, just focused on meeting my step goal and doing some squats at work
03/10 Had a bingey evening, logged it all and shark week is now upon me, which maybe explains a little why I am so bloody hungry even though I am eating more than enough10 -

04/10: xxxxx: Goals
THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

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)
10/2: 192.4 - interesting since Zumba got cancelled & I ate 2 donuts instead!
10/3: 192.2 - again interesting as my walk got cancelled & I ate a donut instead. Yes getting down to my R54 starting is my updated goal

9/25 —132.6— Serious lack of sleep 😣 hoping to get better sleep tonight!
9/26 —131.8— Still haven’t got my normal amount of sleep, it has been such a busy week! Thankfully the water weight has started to come off though.😃
9/27 —132.0— I fell asleep before dinner last night, so I got SO much sleep.. maybe too much! Need to work on drinking more water today.
9/28 —132.6— Super early weigh in today, 12-hour hospital shift for me! Hoping this weight is going to drop soon😐
9/29 —132.0— Another night where I fell asleep by 8pm. My week has been crazy! Excited for sushi tonight🍣😁
9/30 —131.8— I struggled SO hard with cravings yesterday! Just one of those days I guess. 😝 Happy Sunday everyone!
10/1 —131.8— Yesterday I had a big family gathering and gave in to temptations (heath bar cookies.. so good!). Thankfully I made it up by ordering chicken lettuce wraps for dinner. I’m so proud of myself for not just giving up on the day after making a few poor choices.. a huge problem I’ve had in the past! Also, it’s October!! Yay! 🎃
10/2 —131.0— It took about a week, but it finally went down..😊
10/3 —130.0— Not sure what I am doing RIGHT?! I have been eating more than usual, but still in my calorie range. I really didn’t think I was going to be able to hit my goal this round, but these last few days are giving me new hope.. So excited I am almost in a new decade!🎉

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.
10/2 - 151.5 - I guess my body is just going to hold on this weight for a little bit.
10/3 - 151 - Four years ago I had to start taking blood pressure meds. It was HCZ, a water pill. This past May, my sodium level dropped below normal, so my Dr. prescribed an alternative. I was having issues with vertigo, so I was afraid to start taking it, not knowing if it would make me worse. After my vertigo resolved (thanks to @quiltingjaine) I decided to hold off taking it as the random BP tests I did at home was showing my blood pressure was dropping to normal. At my annual women's physical yesterday, it became official...it was 118/78, down from the 140's/90's it had been right after I was taken off the water pill. The number on the scale may not move as quickly as I would like some days, but the other benefits of slow but steady weight loss are immeasurable!13 -
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 🤦🏻♀️
9/29 - 198 - well, crap. Getting bad financial news makes me want to eat, shop or drink. I chose to eat... a lot 😔 gotta be above this stuff and stick with the plan to keep losing
9/30 - 198 hopefully just residual from my binge.... i was good yesterday and today so far!
10/1 - 197 getting back into focus! Even just the 1 pound, I felt better this morning and knew that I had lost something. Doing some yoga tonight for stress relief
10/2 - 195.5 woo! Didn’t end up having time for yoga, but an intensive ShopRite workout 😂. I was over calories, so this is surprising. I started drinking as much water as I was last week so maybe that’s what’s going on! A nice boost for motivation. I’ll take it!
10/3 - 195.5 holding steady

That's amazing! Congrats!10/3 - 151 - Four years ago I had to start taking blood pressure meds. It was HCZ, a water pill. This past May, my sodium level dropped below normal, so my Dr. prescribed an alternative. I was having issues with vertigo, so I was afraid to start taking it, not knowing if it would make me worse. After my vertigo resolved (thanks to @quiltingjaine) I decided to hold off taking it as the random BP tests I did at home was showing my blood pressure was dropping to normal. At my annual women's physical yesterday, it became official...it was 118/78, down from the 140's/90's it had been right after I was taken off the water pill. The number on the scale may not move as quickly as I would like some days, but the other benefits of slow but steady weight loss are immeasurable!
I'm interested in what helped with vertigo. I had an ear infection a few years back and now have what is called positional vertigo. My doctor says there isn't anything to be done for it. But it's because of that I can't do ab exercises on the floor.

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.

Day/Weight/Calories Day Before/Comment
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!
9/29 - 135.6 - 1221
Beautiful autumn day here - going for a long walk! Enjoy, all!
9/30 - 135.4 - 1042
Rainy morning, but hopefully a nice afternoon. Lower-than-ideal calories yesterday, but I'm averaging around 1210, so it's ok. We had baked cod for dinner, which means low cals but stuffed. I hope you all have a lovely, healthful Sunday!
10/1 - 137.2 (rolling ave 135.8) - 1376 (10-day ave 1225)
Well, this bump is another little mystery of weight loss/maintenance. My calories were a little higher, but well within my TDEE (maintenance) estimates by MFP and SailRabbit. Water no doubt, but weird. I'll be interested to see what it does tomorrow.
10/2 - 137.6 (rolling ave 136) - 1662 (10-day ave 1273)
And this bump is not exactly a mystery.
I had the major munchies last night for no good reason, since I had a good dinner. I did stick to my elimination diet, though - munched on fruit and nuts. It's okay - back on track today!
10/3 - 136.6 - 990 (10-day ave 1252)
I didn't feel hungry most of yesterday - must have been Monday's pig out. Today I'm aiming for normal calories and a nice walk + weight training. Mostly I do not feel deprived on this elimination diet -- there's plenty I can eat! - but the past two days I've lusted after a few of the things I can't have -- peppers, tomatoes, eggs, hard cheese.... I just keep reminding myself that once I start reintroducing foods, we may find something(s) that's contributing to the inflammation, and that will be worth it. And if it isn't food related, all the better! So I'm stickin' to it. Bilinski organic chicken sausages are my go to for savory satisfaction!

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.
9/29 179.8 But "always look on the bright side of life" I began today with a workout and set a new PR for plank - 4 minutes!
9/30 179.8 First day in a long time where I was not having to fight the stress eating. What a relief Beginning today with my overdue C25K "run" - not sure when I will fell it is legit to call it a run - maybe when the running is more than half the time?
10/1 179.4
10/2 178.2 whoosh and new favourite snack - pumpkin spice cheerios!

Hi you all! I finished the previous challenge which I couldn't lose weight but weigh myself every day and try to control myself. That was something to start. In this challenge, my aim is to REALLY control myself. My goals are:
*Not to eat junk food
*Drink alcohol max 3 glasses in 10 days (if possible no drink because of reflux)
*Go to the gym 6 times in 10 days
*Drink enough water
*Don't drink coffee for a while (because of reflux)
9/25
I forgot to weigh myself today, because of being late to the work... But yesterday I drank a little alcohol and ate too many carbs (pasta...), not a good day.
9/26 85.9 kg (189.3 lbs)
Failed too soon. I ate Nutella with a spoon and it wasn't enough I ate a whole chocolate bar. Don't know why I'm doing this... And I'm very busy and tired these days with work, for this reason, I cannot go to the gym. If I've been motivated enough I believe I could go, but I'm not yet... I hope today I won't disappoint myself.
9/27 85.7 kg (188.9 lbs)
Yay! I hope I get rid of 86's at last! Yesterday was good, no junk food and alcohol. However, I couldn't go to the gym. I was busy all day and really exhausted.
9/28 85.5 kg (188.4 lbs)
Yes, this is the right way. I'm really happy I'm kinda getting better. Yesterday night even I was tired I went to the gym. I didn't eat junk food or drink alcohol. However, I always eat carbs. I'm a vegetarian and so it's kinda hard to decrease carbs, but I don't have to eat bread all day...
9/29
I didn't weight myself this day, because I was sick because of drinking too much alcohol...
9/30 85.9 kg (189.3 lbs)
Not surprising, because of the other day I drank too much...
10/1 86 kg (189.5 lbs)
Yesterday was good actually. I woke up early and went to the gym and did some housework. Diet was kinda ok, didn't eat junk food and didn't drink alcohol.
10/2 86.1 kg (189.8 lbs)
I couldn't let myself from deserts...
10/3 85.8 kg (189.1 lbs)
Actually yesterday I was thinking to give up on the challenge because I cannot control my diet. However, today's weight gave me some motivation. I hope I'll finish the challenge 85.5 kg.

Female, 46yo, 5’4” I am an advanced age mother to 2 little boys (4yo & 17mo). I want to lose weight so I have less pain and can do more with my kids.
This is my 1st 10 day challenge. We are having a weight-loss competition at work (% body weight lost) and this is my motivation to get back on track. It started 8/1 and ends 10/31. I’m not typically a competitive person but I’m setting out to win this competition and if I lose 30+ lbs and don’t win, I’ll still be a winner in my own mind!

9/29 273.6 WHAT is going on here?? I've been under my calorie goal every day since Sunday and then I was only over by 20 calories. This is so frustrating! 89g protein
9/30 DNW logged all food, went to the gym and worked legs + bike, 96g protein
10/1: 272.2 at least going back in the right direction but still up. Today is inventory day at work w/ tons of donuts all day and they are supplying pizza for lunch. I don't get it, they sponsor this weight loss challenge then they don't offer any healthy options. This will be a challenging day. I want to lose weight more than I want donuts & pizza! I did it!!! I resisted all those donuts & pizza! I ended up going for a 20 min walk w/ hubby & the kids in the evening which isn't huge, but it's still way better than my norm. Ate all those calories and a few more - ended up at 1585 calories for the day, 124g protein.
10/2 272.4 feeling really discouraged, it's looking like my goal for this round and my end of month goal may not be reachable, 102g protein
10/3 270.6 Wednesdays are my "official" weigh in day so I've actually gained 0.2 lb since last weeks "official" weigh in Didn't make it to the gym last night because I had the baby while hubby took the 4 year old to swim lessons. Have to make it to the gym tonight!

Female, 33yo 5'3
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.
10/1- 173.2 I made it 173.2 again today probably because I didn't pay much attention to macros this weekend pretty much ate at maintenance or a little above. I am happy with this because I had been on a cycle of gaining tons of water weight (probably fat also) during the weekends, then working it off on the weekday. At least now I don't have to feel like I'm starting over. No gym today still a bit soar decided to just get rest will be at tomorrow morning for weight training/cardio. Goal today is at least 10K steps.
10/2- 173.2 So, I guess I'm stuck now, yesterday went well until the evening when I decided to eat 2 chocolate covered granola bars (kids snacks). Maybe that's why the scale didn't move down, but I won't be discouraged. I went to the gym this morning for weights/cardio, I plan to do my best to make it there tomorrow for an hour of cardio as well. I have to get the evenings back in check, I did pretty well last week with avoiding the late night snacking.
10/3- 171.2 Woosh effect, maybe? Feeling good with that number controlled my late night snacking habit yesterday or really was just to tired to eat. No gym this am, I was sleepy. Weight training/cardio for sure tomorrow though.

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 😄
10/1 156.8 yikes. This weekend's binge was awful. I was good yesterday but Saturday I definitley over did it... a lot. I couldn't stop eating. I did work out yesterday a bit, was walking a good portion of the day and drank 1 liter of water. Once again back at it again. No more sabotage. It's a new month and the start of a new week ☺ In the past this would have crippled my mood, even if I known it is completely my fault but this time I am looking ahead. It's over and done with...onwards and downwards lol
10/2 156.6 ate good yesterday and had 1 liter of water. Exercised good but I am still waiting for this weight to drop again. I am hoping for a big whoosh the next couple of days so hopefully I can at least end on a loss if not my goal..but who knows. Weight is always a tricky thing to predict. I am still trying to keep my head up though. I'm still learning.
10/3 156.2 sllooowwly going down. One day of cheating ends in working four days to take it off...pfft. I exercised good yesterday, drank 1 liter and ate well. I'm greatful I am feeling patient with myself ...if it had been last week I don't think I would have been as patient. One more day and I will fight for it

53yo Mom
OSW 187
Round 53-184(-4)
Round 54-180
9/25 - 180
9/26 - 180 still.
9/27 - 180 again..I need to get serious.
9/28 - 181 Not enough water and no exercise.
9/29 - 179 Finally. Plenty of water, sensible eating and exercise helped. I have a tailgate party to go to today......yikes!
9/30 - 180- weighed when I got home last night and was at 179, then I had 3 cups of tea and nothing else. I ate carefully and we walked instead of Ubering, but the food must have been salty. Tomorrow will look better on the scale.🤷♀️
10/1 - 180 Lunch at church was heavy, and I didn’t get much exercise.
10/2 - 179 went to watch football at my dads and brought healthy dinner.
10/3 - 179 I’m surprised after dealing with a rattlesnake which resulted in drinks last night.
10/4
Glad you are all in this with me, or I would give up.
Have a good day! 🌻

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.
10/1 = No Weigh in
10/2 = No Weigh in
10/3 = 142.9 (up 1.4 from last weigh-in) I'm still here, still in a brace, but in less pain I can fully bear weigh now without the brace on, although gingerly. I'm going to continue to wear it and still rest as much as possible to help the healing process. While, I can bear weight, if I twist or turn the ankle I get a sharp pain, so I still need to keep it stabilized. Since injuring my foot, have only been partially logging my calories and know I have been over on a few days this past week, but happy to say I have NOT gone on a stress eating binge...even though I felt the urge to do it! I am going to try some gentle yoga today and see how it feels, will stop if any pain. Tonight, I have a get together at a friend's house and then tomorrow my husband & I are celebrating our15th wedding anniversary and going out to dinner. I will be mindful of my eating at both but likely will be over calories. I will be back to 100% logging and being under calories in Round 55. And hopefully at some point next week, can start back up on my 90 Day Challenge workouts, even if I have to do a lot of modifications to lessen the intensity.

Walked for exercise. Walked at my desk; at lunch; and in the plant. Steps ~14k. Good night of food.

My goal today: 10K steps. Accurate food journaling. Meditation.

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!
9/29 DNW and did not track :-(
9/30 151 Going backwards this round, I have lost focus. NSV's though I have been walking our hill 7 days a week (this is a 3 mile loop, about 40 stories according to my fitbit) It is easy for me now 2 months in, and finally getting easier for my hunny who started a month ago. Hoping to add a second loop when we get back from Maui. Back on track today (Sunday), putting the past behind me and moving forward. Too many goodies in the house and I did not resist. I threw it all away and the house is safe again. Whew.
10/1 WEIGH IN DAY 149.2 At least I am back below 150, but I still have some work to do. I started logging my food on Fitbit instead of MFP and am going to use the fitbit calorie goals instead for the rest of this round, they adjust according to my activity. Same end result I am seeking but new method, trying to keep focus. Maui in 4 days! Can't wait to eat fish!!
10/2 149.8 Looks like a maintenance round, focused on dropping to at least 149 again by end of round. Maui in 3 days- stay away from carbs til Friday!! Plan while I'm there is to fully enjoy it but that does not mean eating crazy. Plus is we have a condo, and will stop at Safeway for some stuff. Plan on fully taking advantage of the fresh fish for every dinner!
10/3 149.6 Focusing on hydration today as I feel a slight headache coming, my skin looks dry, and I was thirsty overnight. Ate well yesterday, but have been eating protein bars again (>_<) These are definitely a weird trigger food for me. I MUST STOP BUYING THEM. NSV My honey walked the hill without stopping! He usually redlines a couple of times and has to stop, but a month in and he did it straight! So happy to be on the same page with him. 2 more days until Maui!! We so need this, we have a 16yo homeschooled son and a 23yo special needs son, as well as a business that takes a lot of energy. My DH and I spend a lot of time together, but it's just regular time, if that makes sense. Not one-on-one couple time, so we are super excited to be able to be "honeymooners"!!!
