@GrandmaJackie Thank you for round 55. See you there!
@ deepwoodslady I don’t post a daily trend but get the same info by figuring my 10 day average at the end of each round. It’s in my spoiler.
@FarmerCarla Dizzy Fix was created by a couple of chiropractic practitioners. Having it available at home beats waiting to get in to a chiro or PT and it pays for itself quickly. Just sayin’
Also, ask them to just give you a little taste of potato salad instead of a serving.
@MyEvolvingJourney The low tire indicator on my husband’s Nissan frequently goes on. The tire store people told him these things malfunction frequently. Isn’t it refreshing that they don’t try to sell him new tires every time?
@MadisonMolly2017 Prayers for your surgery and rapid healing!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
9/25 130.5
9/26 131.5
9/27 130.5
9/28 130.5 Went with a friend as her guest, to the gym yesterday. Walked on treadmill 30 minutes and got 184% of steps. Went to water fitness today.
9/29 132.5 We met friends from out of town for dinner last night. It was several hours later than we usually eat. I had a salad and steak, both of which were very good. But eating late is not a good thing. I’m up 2# but know that it will pass in the next couple of days.
9/30 132.0 Did not drink enough water yesterday but had 40 oz of diet soda! I wanted “something” but made myself bloated and miserable rather than eating food I didn’t need. I think it’s a win. DH wants to ”go for a drive.” Several hours in the car and eating out.
10/1 132.5 Yesterday’s drive through the Virgin River Gorge was beautiful. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger salad for lunch. I wish it had been a patty on the salad rather than crumbled but it was what it was. I have been craving salad for about a week and finally bought the stuff to make one then went out to eat and got one. Tonight - egg roll in a bowl!!
10/2 132.5 Over 10K steps yesterday due to water fitness, doing treadmill at the gym with a friend and running errands. Most unusual.
10/3 132.0 Making dog biscuits for the bake sale at the Pet Parade.
10/4 131.5 I spent the majority of 6 hours in the kitchen mixing, rolling, cutting, and baking hundreds of dog biscuits. My feet and back were killing me so instead of planned dinner we went to In-n-Out. Double-double protein style and ate a few of DH’s fries, later had a small piece of low carb cheesecake. That was all I ate all day. It was a good day.
See you in 55!! Thank you @GrandmaJackie

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) Waiting for the next move down. Hope to see some improvement soon. I am getting anxious about not dropping as quickly as I wanted.
10/03 – 271 (-1 lb) See saw here and one day left on this round. Don't know if I will get to the goal but its still possible. I've been way under my calorie allotment the past few days so I hope I will see the usuall big drop after a few days in level status. I'll know tomorrow morning. Keeping my hopes alive.
10/04- 271 (no change) Well I didn't get the drop I was hoping for so I missed my goal this round. Tough trying to get out of this weight level. I'ts been three weeks on this see saw without any real improvement. Getting a bit tedious and frustrating. I must have the metabolism of a darter snail. Same goal then for next round. Keep on trying......5 -
Hi. I'm in. I was planning on starting last round, but then realized I was going to be out of town for most of it with no scale. So this time I'm in.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 -- 177 --Pretty good day yesterday. Met calorie and exercise goals, but succumbed to the peach coffee cake my husband made over the weekend and ate a whole piece instead of just a bite.
9/26 -- 177 --Again ok on the exercise and calorie front. But the carbs lost to a really nice milk stout....
9/27 -- 177.5 -- And again. Hit the exercise, missed by a little on the calories. Big fancy meal out with my husband and had a small dessert. Over on carbs again. But the next 7 days I should be out of excuses...and my fitbit is up and running again
9/28 -- 176.5 -- YAY! Walk, water aerobics and zumba yesterday. Ate back some exercise calories and only a little high on net carbs.
9/29 -- 175.5 -- Drank a ton of water yesterday and ate well. Also took a walk and did a killer water aerobics workout. Hoping this number sticks!
9/30 -- 176.5 -- Sigh. Got up and went to zumba yesterday and had a bonus 80 minutes (instead of 60). Happy hour at a neighbors for dinner. Stuck to low carb stuff and 1.5 glasses of red wine. Ate back some but not all of exercise calories. Not surprised that I'm up a little. I feel a bit bloated. We will see what happens tomorrow.
10/1 -- 176.5 -- Not much exercise yesterday. Was doing well....and then went our for sushi. Only a bit over calories, but the rice probably threw things off a bit. Exercised a bunch this morning and already > 15000 steps, so hoping tomorrow looks better!
10/2 – 175.5 -- Exercised a ton yesterday and ate well. Happy to see this number again.
10/3 – 175 -- YAY! Walked and did water aerobics yesterday. Finished up my steps pacing watching TV.
10/4 – 175 – I’m going to say goal met. Should have specified <= 175 LOL. Met my step, carb, calorie goals yesterday!
Round loss – 2 lbs!

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.
10/1- 186.8- definitely happy that this didn't go up because i was A LITTLE bit naughty yesterday but still under my calories. But my mom told me to get her and my brother a burger with fries and a drink since she hadn't eaten all day and she told me to get myself something too and I looked up the calories and everything was way too much to fit under my calorie goal so I just decided not to get anything at all! Not to toot my own horn, but I'm really proud about that. I would have never turned down opportunities to eat out before but I've really been trying hard to be good to myself instead of making a bad choice and making myself go through the whole self-loathing battle. Going to go to the gym today and planning to stay under calories! So far so good. Hopefully tomorrow we'll see a loss.
10/2- 188.0- guess what I ate yesterday. Rice. Surprise! Lol. 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.
10/3- 188.8
Kinda hate myself for this but I had soy sauce (high sodium) yesterday with my broccoli. And A LITTLE rice.. thinking that it wouldn't do anything. But it ALWAYS does. I'm not touching it again until I get to 185. I feel kind of ridiculous. Like of course this is going to happen! Why would I think otherwise? I don't know.. Will definitely try cauliflower rice and see how I like it. Anyway, I've done a good job today. Will just keep it up at dinner and hopefully that will help with the scale tomorrow. Bummed out. Feel like I ruined my progress this challenge just for a little rice lol How ridiculous. Normal people have a weakness for cookies, brownies, chocolate. Not rice! Haha Go figure.
10/4- 187.2- I'm just happy that it's a loss rather than a gain to be honest. Not having rice again until I reach my mini goal weight. I tried zucchini noodles last night and I really liked them. Ate under calories yesterday so I was happy about that.
@deepwoodslady I also got cauliflower rice last night from the store and am going to try it tonight!!

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.

I'll be back Round 55.

Round 54 (#18)
I typically don't set goals because I find myself sabotaging them. Stupid, I know, but it's true. Challenge goal:Stop binge eating my trigger foods which are too numerous to list.#37: 142.6 - 137.4 = -5.2
#38: 137.4 - 136.8 = -0.6
#39: 136.8 - 136.2 = -0.6
#40: 136.2 - 135.0 = -1.2
#41: 135.0 - 133.6 = -1.4
#42: 133.6 - 134.2 = +0.6
#43: 134.2 - 133.4 = -0.8
#44: 133.4 - 132.4 = -1.0 Body fat 28.0% acceptable range
#45: 132.4 - 132.6 = +0.2
#46: 132.6 - 133.0 = +0.4
#47: 133.0 - 134.8 = +1.8
#48: 134.8 - 137.2 = +2.4
#49: 137.2 - 136.0 = -1.2
#50: 136.0 - 135.4 = -0.6
#51: 135.4 - 135.4 = +/- 0
#52: 135.4 - 132.4 = -3.0
#53: 132.4 - 133.2 = +0.8
9/25: 132.4, date last night. Grilled chicken, fingerling potatoes with red bell pepper and sweet onion, and wilted spinach. The rose' was delicious.
9/26: 131.8, ran myself leaner at work yesterday. Crazy, busy, non-stop.
9/27: 131.8, beer after work at the pub. Good food day with a LNS of grapes.
9/28: 133.8, excellent example of fluid retention after consuming too much sodium and sugar. Fat loss or gain is a trend which is measured over time. Daily weight changes are the result of fluid retention and release.
9/29: 134.6, food, food, and more food…
9/30: 135.6, more of the same.
10/1: 133.8, wasn’t feeling well yesterday. Spent most of the day in bed.
10/2: 133.4, recovering…
10/3: 133.4, alright, I know what to do so I guess I should get to it.
10/4: 135.2, night out with the girls. Woops!5 -

9/25 147.8 On track -
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. : (
10/1 149.4

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
10/4 - 195! Happy to end off on a good note!5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 - 166lb
9/26 - Just found this thread so didn't weigh this morning. Today is day 1. Must make good food choices and run tonight
9/27 - 163.6 Ate ok yesterday and went for the first run on my Half Marathon training plan. Only 3km but it was tough. Need to cut down the snacking at work.
9/28 - 163.9 Was happy the number stayed the same as I would up eating chinese food for lunch (my boss asked me to come to lunch with them and I couldn't say no). Did my run last night... late but I got it in. Today is going to be bad. I woke up starving, have another lunch meeting today and hubs wants to have dinner together tonight because he's not around Saturday
9/29 - 165.2 Yup. I deserved that. Yesterday was not good. I'm hoping it's at least some water thought. Salty foods too days in a row and TOM coming up.
9/30 - 165.2
10/1 - Didn't weigh in morning. TOM should be today or tomorrow so am full of water right now
10/2 - 166.8
10/3 - 164 Ate better yesterday (still not great, and missed my run). Hopefully this time the number on the scales stays down
10/4 - 164.2 Ran yesterday and overall not too bad. Having a seriously busy day at work and just ate a whole chocolate bar... one of the big ones. *FacePalm*
Well, 10 day challenge over. I definitely need to do better with my diet but at least I've started running again. I said any loss would do and I did lose 1.8lbs (not sure I believe it though because TOM was thrown in the mix).
Goals for the next round will be to be more consistent with my exercise, dial in the nutrition a bit more and try to make it through Thanksgiving without a gain.5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/25: 249.4 - I'm not sleeping well lately. I think it's nerves from looking for a job after being a stay at home mom for so long. I woke up groggy and sore today. I have an interview tomorrow with a staffing agency and I hope it goes well. Also, I had a chicken fajita salad last night and it was delicious. I'm going to have that more often.
09/26: 249.8 - Strength training water retention. Not worried about the slight gain at all. I had an interview this morning and they want a second interview this afternoon. I hope this is a good sign! Hopefully I will be returning to the workforce by Monday! Thanks you guys for wishing me luck!
09/27: 250.6 - Wretched scale! Lol I ate really late last night and unexpected guests nicely brought subs for everyone. I was good though and only had a 6 inch. Unfortunately, it was smothered in mayo. I tried static stretching yesterday and it felt great but I'm a little sore today. I think I'm going to go light on food today and drink lots of water. I have my final weigh-in for the September Fat2Fit challenge and hopefully the scale drops a bit before then.
09/28: 250 - I think I'm getting sick, and TOM coming up.
09/29: 250.2 - I seriously hate water retention lol. I made some amazingly delicious turkey legs last night and ate them with stuffing and corn. It was fantastic but full of sodium. I can't wait till my next whoosh. Thank you for all the congrats on the job, I love the support in this group. You all so amazing!
09/30: 249.2 - I hope this means the water retention is passing. I start work Monday and hate that I'm going to be sick my first day.
10/01: 250.8 - First day of work and I'm so happy to be home with my kids.
10/02: no weight taken
10/03: 251.2 - I'm going to blame this on TOM lol! I'm hoping I can start working out again soon once I get used to working again.
10/04: 248.2 - I was wondering why I kept running to the bathroom today lol! At least I ended this 10 days lower than when I started.

9/28, 221, I'm really not sure how I'm losing weight. I average 1500 calories a day and almost always go over my calorie goal. I have switched to healthier calories though. Frozen grapes and dark chocolate are my main desserts. I'm using half the amount of dressing that I usually use on salads. I've been having salads for lunch. I also try to walk a mile while at work. I'm also saving money now that I'm eating out less. It doesn't seem like much so I'm surprised at the difference it's made. Losing weight is usually so much harder than this, it doesn't feel real at all. At this rate I might reach onederland by January!!! That would be so amazing, just gotta keep working at it.
9/29, 221
9/30, Out of town, didn't weigh.
10/1, 220.5, Traveled over the weekend and ate so much. Not sure how this is possible.
10/2, 221, Eating out is catching up with me. Gotta avoid the pizza and the jalepeno cheetos. Doing my best not to eat my feelings to day.
10/3, 220, Rallied and stayed under my calorie goal yesterday.
10/4, 220, More than happy to be here. My first 10 lbs lost!7 -
@ssssanaaaa cauliflower rice and zucchini noodles are great!! You can also play with it and make a recipe for your own. I also use cauliflower rice to make cauliflower pizza, but I twerk the recipe a bit to make about 2/3 cauliflower and 1/3 broccoli (I put crowns in a food processor and rice it) so good!!!
Just random food opinion but I also save broccoli tusks and use a peeler to peel the hard surface because beyond that surface is actually a soft edible part which is great to eat on its own or throw into a stir fry. I also sometimes continue peeling pack the hard tusk and make broccoli noodles which aren't bad either.
GREAT JOB @LonniJay WTG!!!5 -
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!
SW: 289.2 (8/1/18)
CW: 271.4 (-17.8)
IGW: 259 by 10/31/18
Goals this round:
Log food in MFP 10/10 days

Weight in the 260s
Day/Weight/Comment
9/25: 271.4 logged all food, went to the gym and worked back & biceps + bike, 125g protein
9/26: 270.4 logged all food, went to the gym and worked chest & triceps + bike, 115g protein
9/27:DNW logged all food, 121g protein
9/28 272.2
logged all food, 104g protein, was supposed to go to the gym but ended up working late and needed to get home to my kiddos & hubby
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!
10/4 270.4 Didn't make it to the gym last night. I forgot my shoes and had to go home and that's where my motivation ended. I did log all food and stayed under calories but only 78g protein. I have my shoes & clothes today and I've arranged for the baby while daddy & big brother go to swimming lessons so I shouldn't have any excuses for not going tonight. I made it to the gym tonight and worked back & biceps plus bike. Logged all food today. Only 83g protein.
Summary on goals:
Log food in MFP 10/10 days: 10/10 😁
100+g protein 7/10 days: 6/10
Intentional Exercise 5/10 days: 5/10 😁
Weight in the 260s: 270.4
Weight loss: 1 lb
Not where I wanted to be but headed in the right direction. I think it really did me good to participate in this challenge. Thanks for the encouragement!
On to the next round!
