The closer I get to my goal weight, the slower the scales move. I’m trying to focus on the other benefits of my weight loss such as the lower blood pressure, my hip pain has disappeared, and my stamina has increased. It would be great if I could make my goal weight stick for this round though!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/05 - 151.5 - I'm up again for no other reason than weight fluctuations. I'll have to really watch what I eat this weekend so I don't bump up too much more on Monday.
10/06 - 150.5 - I didn't expect this weight this morning after I ate close to 1500 calories yesterday, but I'll take it!
10/07 - DNW - I had to move the scale because of our bathroom remodel and I woke up at 3:45 this am and didn't think my husband would appreciate me turning on lights to check my weight. Our son-in-law is in town and staying with us to do the remodel and we've had a couple cookouts. I made vegetable side dishes, but I've eaten about 1500 calories a day the past couple days, so tomorrow's weigh in may not be pretty. That's why I'm here though, to face any gain and get back on track.
10/08 - 151.5 - It could have been worse, although sometimes it takes a couple days for the sodium to show up. Water today!
10/09 - 150.5 - I ate about 1100 calories yesterday and drank my water. I hope my body cooperates and shows another little loss before the end of the week.
10/10 - 150.5 - I'm good with this. At least it's not going up!
10/11 - 150.5 - I'm hoping for a little drop soon.
10/12 - 149.5 - A new low! This should help my trend weight for the week.
10/13 - 149 - Although I'm excited about another new low, I'm more excited about the rescue dog we just adopted yesterday! We already love her. It occurred to me this morning that my weight loss slowed down after our last dog died in July. Even though we'd had to limit her walks (bad leg) I realized that there are a lot of other things that increase my activity with a dog in the house. I have a feeling that our new dog "Whiskey" and I are going to help each other get healthier.

🍁Day/Weight/Comment🍁
10/5 175.8 - I went to a family gathering last night and food was potluck style and I chose the healthiest I could and I did have a piece of fudge too. 🙂
10/06 178.2 - Oh wow. So TOM has started. And I over ate last night. I was tired and I realized I was snacking because I was tired, but I still did it. Today, I'll stay on track.
10/07 176.4 - Whew! Yesterday was a good day. I was a little under on calories and I was under on my step goal. I did do some resting yesterday which was nice and we took a family trip out to a pumpkin patch. Overall it was a nice day! Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends!
10/08 177.2 - Hmmm...🤔 water retention? I didn't really do any exercise over the weekend, so I want to get back on track with that. Have a great day friends!
10/09 177.6 - Wrong way! I don't understand. I was under on calories and I went for a walk yesterday. Work was crazy yesterday, so maybe stress? My period is pretty much over, so I'm not sure what's happening. Will stay on track and hopefully things are better tomorrow!
10/10 176.8 I came to a realization yesterday after dealing with some IBS issues for most of the day. I've gotten a little away from paleo eating. Not that I feel that I have been eating anything "bad." Just not necessarily what feels good for my body. And I'd forgotten that I'd decided to try raising my carbs just as an experiment. It's probably been a good week or two and I think I need to lower them a little. It's all just an experiment and I'll see how my body responds!
10/11 177.4 - I'm not quite sure what's happening here. I was under on calories and I went for a short walk and I had lots of water yesterday. So the good thing is that I did make good choices. I just wish the scale was reflecting that. It will, I just need to be patient.
10/12 176.4 - This past week has been all over the place! I am still hopeful to finish this challenge lower than what I started.
Yesterday, my son had his second cross country meet. He ran 1.5 miles in 19:47 which I think isn’t bad considering he just started running two weeks ago! I was feeling inspired watching these kids run and I got to thinking I just might have to give it a try! I’ve never considered myself a runner. Ever. I’ve had a larger body for most of my life, so I just never found it enjoyable. I’d made attempts before, but never really stuck with it. But now I’m thinking of working on it, that way I can help him to keep going too!
10/13 175.8 - Back to where I started this round! Hopefully I can finish out just a little lower. I was on track yesterday and I got in my steps. It's my weekend to work so I'll be working today. Have a great day!

@deepwoodslady Try slicing the zucchini into “lasagna noodles” then salt both side and allow to sit between layers of paper towels for at least 30 minutes. It draws out the water. A former neighbor told me I should do this with eggplant before breading and frying to keep it from being soggy. All the years my mom had made fried eggplant followed by all my years and I had never heard of this!
@liann1970 and @FarmerCarla On keto, it is most important to hit your protein macro, not go over your carb macro, and use your fats to feel satisfied. You don’t need to meet your fat macro. Carbs are a limit, protein is a target, and fat is the lever to keep you satisfied.3 -
Continuing my dietitian-designed 6-8 week anti-inflammation elimination diet. This round will see me through week 4. So far, so good!
Goals:
Food ~~ Follow anti-inflammation elimination diet - learn new food tricks! Calories <1330.
Exercise ~~ 60-90 minutes 5-6 days/week of walking/swimming; weight training 3 days/week.
Weight ~~ stay below 137.

Chilly rain this morning, but it's supposed to clear up this afternoon so I should get a nice outdoor walk.

Hmmmm. Who knows? It's a bit warmer today, and rain this afternoon, so I'm hoping to get a nice walk in this morning. Have a great weekend, all!

Foggy, drizzly Sunday morning here, but I have a good day planned, including a walk (indoors if necessary) and some painting time (watercolors, not walls
). I hope you all have a lovely, healthful day!

I seem to have hit a new hover point. That's fine. One of these days something will change and I'll drop a little more. It's going to be in the high 80s today (again) and low 80s tomorrow, and then drop to the more Octobery 50s, and I'm planning lots of walks and hopefully a hike or two now that I feel a bit better. I love October!

I had a great walk yesterday morning on the "Indiana Native Trees Path" along the St. Joseph River.
10/11 - 137 - 1205 - 10-day average 1223
Last night I went to a potluck and there was nothing I could eat with my restricted diet - I had been hoping for some veggies at least. And even what I took was off my list - I had planned to make something I could eat, but spent the afternoon at the vet's office getting an ultrasound for my dog, and ended up just grabbing some lemon muffins at the bakery. But the hostess graciously pulled a leftover roast chicken out of the fridge, so I had chicken and an apple. Perfect! I can't say I was even tempted by all the great looking food - I've stuck to this elimination diet for almost 4 weeks and have 2 more to go before I start adding things back to test them, and I wasn't going to blow those 4 weeks for a few minutes of pleasure! Now I'm waiting for the ultrasound evaluation by the radiologist.

Big temperature drop during the night and suddenly fall weather has arrived. It's a beautiful, sunny 50ish day, so I'm planning a long walk on the river greenway. Have a lovely weekend, all!
10/13 - 136.2 - 1114 - 10-day ave 1193
I switched around my closets yesterday as sweater weather closes in, and culled a lot of clothes that are now too big. I've lost 14 pounds since we last wore warm clothes! So I have a big big of donations in my car.

Round 55
SW: 74kg May 2018
GW: below 70kg in Oct and stay there
UGW: below 65 by end of the year
Rounds 47-54 EW: 73-72kg with loads of fluctuations and excuses to over eat.
Day/Weight/Comment
10/05 71kg. New round new determination. Fell off the waggon a bit the last round, but went for a short run this morning. However, the excuses for emotional eating won't stop: It looks like we'll have to put down our 6months old kitten. She's in hospital now and they can't figure out what is wrong with her, none of the tests have shown anything conclusive so far.
10/06 70.8-ish not quite 70.5 yet, but below 71kg. Ate over yesterday, but ran, walked and went boxing in the eve.
Just spoke to the vet and it looks like they have a good idea of what she has (a liver shunt) and in many cases that can be managed with meds and food. And the vet said she's such a little fighter, it would be a shame not to try!!! So we'll pick her up this afternoon - probably much to the dismay of our other cats. And sod the weight and food logging for another day or so. I'll get back to it on Monday
10/07 -70.8 again. On my way to boxing class now, tonight dinner with friends.
Yesterday, I didn't end up eating until around 1.30pm and then nothing again until we arrived home with the kitten around 6pm. She slept for ages, then had some food and is now back to her feisty self, keeping me up half the night with headbutts and very loud purring. I'm so relieved.
10/08 71.5kg - no surprise there after a very big dinner and probably also some water retention from boxing. Packed breakfast and lunch today and planning to run tonight, will see how DOMS is gonna feel.
10/09 70.8 again. Good day yesterday, withun cals, even had pizza and a small ice cream. Went for a run in the eve. Today's plan is to not get carried away at lunch and then boxing class tonight
10/10 70.8kg - oh come on. Even though this is on a non-digital scale and less acurate, the needle has been in the exact same place. I suppose better than a gain. Patience and consistency will eventually pay off. And since there has been so much talk about plateaus, I know a few days is nothing to worry about.
10/11 70.8kg again. Ate ok yesterday and it was a eest day (only walked), but I skipped my run this morning as I'm still sore from boxing. I really could have done with the calories as I have my first leaving dinner with a colleague tonight.
10/12 70.8kg still. Had a lovely eve yesterday, after a hectic day at work, had to skip my lunch time walk so was under my step goals. Then, when I got home, I needed chocolate and ate too much waaay over my cals. I don't understand how I used to eat all these sweets and snacks without thinking it would affect my weight... So staying the same is ok for today. Boxing again tonight, maybe I'll make it to 70.0 by Sunday.
10/13 70.5kg, yes! It might even be 70.3. Weighed in very late after a lie-in, which also meant that i've not eaten in ca 14 hours. Went boxing last night and might run today - it's a beautiful but windy day in London, much warmer than usual for October. Tomorrow is going to be a rest day and Brunch with friends, so will probably eat all the calories for the whole day in one sitting...
I read through the posts from the last day and a half and love how much the conversation redirects from pure weight/food/habit to personal things. Thank you all for sharing. I actually had a dream about his group: @jlemoore I dreamed that you showed us all your Africa trip pictures where are you going? I'm in talks about going to Zambia for a couple of months for a job.

@USR516 WELCOME! @GrandmaJackie has posted the link to the next round! Thank you, Jackie!!
@MyEvolvingJourney I track my daily weight on the MFP graph but figure my average on day 10 of each round and enter that on my notes. You can see it in my spoiler.
@mskanakana You ARE NOT a loser! A loser (“not the good kind”) would drop out! You are a WINNER because you are hanging in here and being honest! Stick to it. - you will be a loser - THE GOOD KIND! Persistence!
@deepwoodslady Donna, I can’t even express how great I think you are. I think could not handle what you are dealing with on a daily basis. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}5 -

Weight on 1/17/17 174.5 UGW ???
**UPDATE 10/11/18 My original goal was my last WW goal 137, when I got there I decided to give myself a couple of pounds for fluctuations. I had noted that my high school weight was 125 which, at that time, weight charts said was about 20# too much but pictures from high school do not show that. So I am not stressing about what I weigh, I’m sticking to my plan and still losing. I’m curious to see where this takes me. I have thought about going to the gym and have been joining a friend to walk the treadmill a couple of times a week. When we get home from this trip, I may get serious.

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.

@DebCountsAll
Like the advice you gave to leafypoo. When I think about it - looking better is important to me but feeling better, being able to do things like hike and especially being mobile when I'm elderly is way more important. It's not just the mobility either. My mom had very high blood pressure because of her weight and it caused repeated TIA's so she lost all her memory. I know there are other things that can do that but in her case it was ultimately her weight that caused her problems.
My mother caused all her problems as well, she passed last April. I am still so very angry about that, and the buck stops here.7 -

10/05 155.6 sllooowwly inching off. Worked out good yesterday, ate well and 1.2 liters of water. Hate that I can't get enough water in... I need to get my head in the game. It was absolutely gorgeous yesterday and I was so happy to have a nice day again, fully knowing it is one of last nice days I decided to take full advantage of it. My dog sure loved me for it too lol more then 40 minutes of walking, breathing in the fresh air and just enjoying life. It ended up being a really great day!!
10/06 no weigh in. Last night went out late and woke up this morning and immediatley went out to pick up some stuff up for thanksgiving dinner tomorrow so didn't weigh in before eating. But I did work out, stay under calories and drank 1 liter of water so at least last night's outting won't effect tomorrow's weigh in
10/07 🍁🍃Thanksgiving 🍁🍃 154.8 not too bad. Yesterday wasn't feeling too good so my food wasn't the greatest and I got minimum exercise in (had to shop for thanksgiving) hoping today will go well but I am not sure at the same time...we will see
10/08 155.6 not a bad gain at all!!! I ate so much if not a little of everything but I think that worked in my favor. Rather then taking two plates of food, I had one with a spoonful of everything. That way I tasted everything but my brain registered being full when I was finished. Not too bad at all. Holidays are over and I am officially back at it. I got this!
10/09 156.4 Ok so here is the real gain from sunday lol ate within my goals, exercised and drank 1 liter of water. I personally have no clue of what more I can actually do to jump start this weight loss again..I'm definitely stuck with 156-155-154 . I already exercise with as much time as I have and I already eat extremely healthy, always watching my salt, sugar, carbs and fats...just being sure they all are balanced for the day and not over the suggested amount. Water is something I continue having a problem with probably going to just re set all my focus on that rather then worrying about everything else since I seem to have a good routine and mindfulness towards my balance. I'm just going to have to be patient with myself. I was looking back at another page from a couple of weeks ago when I first hit the 150s and I actually, literally said that the 150s were going to be a difficult 10 pounds and that I knew my weight loss would slow...lol should have listened to myself
10/10 155.8 weighed but forgot to post
10/11 154.4 crazy exercise day yesterday, ate under calories and drank 1.7 liters of water. Slowly coming down. On Tuesday I started feeling a tingle in my throat and yesterday woke up with a cough, this morning I woke up stuffed up. I might be fine to get some light exercising in but I already know tomorrow will be hard.
10/12 152.6 talk about a whoooosh train. There are two things that might have contributed to this weight loss 1. The fact that I have a chest and head cold..if this is the case I hope it stays once I am better and I don't regain or 2) I ate 1400 calories yesterday. I exercise like mad and although I try to stick to the 1200 calorie budget I find that when I eat closer to 1400, especially on a crazy work out day, I loose faster. I already know the rule of thumb is to stick to 1200 when you dont exercise much but then to up your calories when you do but it's so difficult to over throw the fear and mentality of exercise and small amounts calories. I need to remind myself the more you work out the more you need to eat. I will be watching and experimenting with this concept as I go on
10/13 151.4 I don't think I would have imagined dropping to this weight within these last 10 days, it's almost surreal to think I am finally almost out of the dreaded 50s and on to the 40s. I am speechless. I don't even know how i will celebrate my success. At the same time I am a little skeptical because I do have a cold and although I am trying to eat all my calories, when everything doesn't have a taste it makes it all less appetizing. Hopefully this is the start of my new reality and not a dream brought on by my cold.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.
I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. On the other hand when I look at the big picture and the averages it has been a consistent loss except for two rounds. Round 53 was my 50 birthday celebrations that upped my weight for a few days.
I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

10/5 - 182.2 - Too many carbs yesterday, I did do a lot of working out too though so it shouldn't last too long.
10/6 - 182.0 - I am my own worse enemy I have got to learn to stop the high carbs!
10/7 - 182.2 I’m not surprised, this is a poor weekend to try to lose. Thanksgiving, gender reveal, company...
10/8 - 181.8 should be a But better day food wise today.
10/9 - 183.0 - Back at work today, I find it so much easier to control things at work and when I'm in my normal routine.
10/10 - 181.0 - Still feel "heavy" and like I've eaten too much. Hopefully this feeling goes away soon.
10/11 - 181.6 - Ugh
10/12- 180.4 - Finally heading down again. I don't think my average will be less this time either though

10/05 – 174.5 -- (There’s that < 175 from last challenge!) Good day yesterday. Exercised. Ate in a smaller window yesterday and had an awesome, huge egg/sausage/cheese/spinach scramble for dinner!
10/06 -- 173.5 -- Very happy! Hit calorie/exercise goals. Did water aerobics and made my step goal!
10/07 – 174.5 -- Rats! Scale fluctuations! Not going to let it mess with my mind! Went for a last minute walk before dinner and made by 12000 steps in a brisk hilly walk!
10/08 – 173.5 -- Yay. Made ricotta pancakes to go with eggs & bacon for brunch. Ribs and black bean/corn salsa for dinner. Got in a long power walk.
10/09 – 175.5 -- Seems like a random big jump in the wrong direction. Happy with how I ate and exercised yesterday, so I’m assuming it’s water or fat cells prepping to whoosh.. Drank some salt water right before bed because I was feeling dizzy.
10/10 – 174.5 -- Everything was good on calorie and exercise and carb front yesterday.
10/11 – 173.5 – Here we go again.
10/12 – 173.5 – At last. Good eating yesterday. Only got 9400 steps yesterday. I was lazy in the morning but did Zumba in the afternoon.
10/13 – 171.5 – Very nice…..have to see if it sticks, on the other hand—it’s been a good week for me in all with carbs, exercise and walking! Walked, & water aerobics yesterday and lots of sashimi for dinner. Also had a spicy tuna roll which almost put me over carbs.

Hi
I am a female, 30 years old, 5' 6"
Just started using the every other day diet on 10/4 upon weighing 175 that morning. I have gained about 40 lbs over the past year and a half... After losing it all in the first six months after baby. I did the same thing after baby #1. After I lost it I gained my pregnancy weight back even while still BF...just minus the baby ! So here we go again.

500 calorie day
10/07 / 165.4 / - 3
maintenance calorie day. water weight loss, will probably gain some back. TOM surprised me today with no cramps ECT. I'm pretty excited since I cut out dairy a month ago it really seems to have helped in many ways (less cravings, I can feel "thirsty" better instead if just hungry) including this one.
10/08 / 167.2 / +1.8 (this ended up being an unplanned maintenance calories day)
500 calorie day. I was hungry last night and I'm hungry today. Already have my food made for the day and planned out so that should help. Big salads all day Maybe tea with maple syrup this evening. Had a cold all weekend and I am feeling a lot better today, and one of my LO's seems better as well. My older is still sick so we will be staying in and having a relaxing day today.
10/09 / 166.4 / -.8
Trying again for a 500 calorie day today. I ended up feeling unwell yesterday at about 4 like I had low blood sugar and didn't feel well until I ate more than my planned food, so I ate up to maintenance. I had a lot of calories coming from vegetables yesterday where the past 2 successful 'fast' days I had eaten mostly carbs on my down day so maybe that just didn't work for me. I am trying again today with more coming from carbs like the first 2 successful down days. Feeling good so far. We had a tornado watch this morning.
10/10 / 168.5 / +2
No surprise. Last night I ate late which I have not been doing. I also went several hundred over my maintenance calories...but it was vegetable and bean soup instead of the normal chocolate and ice cream during my period. I did fine the first 2 days fine and I just can't do it the past 2 days. I suspect it is because of my period...I usually overeat during it. But the food I am eating is much healthier than it normally would be, and the past 2 days I only ate to maintenance instead of overeating. So I am still going in the right direction.
10/11 / 165.8 / -2.7
I didn't try for a down day but I did 400 under maintenance since that is how much I ate over maintenance the day before.
10/12 / 168.1 / +2.3
Late night cookies...but as far as cookies go they were 'healthy'. A few hundred over maintenance.
10/13 / 167.0 / -1.1
Okay day yesterday, I ate late but ended about 200 under maintenance

10/07: 247.4 - I like seeing the scale drop!
10/08: 247.4 - I ate one fast food meal yesterday and it used up all of my calories. I'm so glad I don't eat out much.
10/09: 250.4 - Damn scale lol! That's my fault. I worked out for an hour then ate late. I'll try not to eat so late today.
10/10: 250.4 - I hate water retention! I tried a new routine Monday and I'm still sore. I plan to do that routine again tonight and I hope I can make it through the whole thing. I've been eating too much junk food lately. It's that time of year and everyone has candy. I've been trying to resist but it's definitely a challenge. People snack all day at work and smelling fast food and takeout has my cravings going mad.
On a sadder note, my favorite aunt in-law passed away suddenly of a stroke and I'm devastated. She was so young and amazing. She was fighting lung cancer and had a good prognosis. We were all hoping for the best. One of her son's, who was a twin, just had twins of his own. She was so loved and needed. I can't believe she's gone.
10/11: 250 - still sore from working out. I need to drink more water and eat light so this water retention will ease up. I have a Fat2Fit weigh-in tomorrow and I'm hoping I can drop some of the water by then.
10/12: 248.2 - coming down slowly again. I'll try not to go crazy this weekend! TGIF!
10/13: 247.6 - I'm hoping I see a smaller number tomorrow but I'll be eating cake today so probably not lol!

Round 54 – SW 158.4, gain +.6
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. This is less than 1 lb. per round but as I realize that may not be possible as I get lower (close to 27 rounds till then so 1 lb per round would put me at 131).

10/12 – 160.6 - Not sure I deserve this have been eating so much chocolate. Yesterday signed a contract for some part-time subbing at my old job for November. Nice visit with old co-worker now manager. Still, afterwards felt unsure of myself and had to reward myself with a Rogers chocolate. Why that for a reward? Is that really a reward? It didn’t even taste all that great. Definitely need a new reward plan. And actually stretching myself by working a bit will be good for me. It’s not healthy so always stay in the comfort zone. I’m helping them out of an awkward spot as well.

Round 55 Goal: 140.0 or Under
Exercise Plan = Had to pause the Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge on Day 68 due to sprained ankle, still in recovery mode and just practicing yoga during this round to hopefully get back to my workout program by Round 56.
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.
10/5 = 142.0 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday, I was on my feet too much and felt it in my ankle by the end of the night, will try to stay off it more today and ice. I'm going to alternate yoga every other day for this round, trying to strengthen my ankle. This round I'll also focus more on my nutrition, which has been slacking. There has been more and more gluten making its way back into my food choices and I just feel better when I limit these types of foods. I'll tighten back up on my alcohol consumption as well, limiting to 1-2 times/week. "Tough times don't last; tough people do."
10/6 = 142.0 (no change from yesterday) Took yesterday as another rest day, ankle improving with the pain now down to dull ache and able to bear full weight. Yesterday was the perfect running weather, so hard to be stuck inside not able to get some miles in. I really want to be able to run (as well as get back to my workouts) while it is still fall before it gets so cold. I'll still run outside in winter, but just love fall running the most. Today, I'm going to do some yoga and then need to do some menu planning and meal prep. If I am going to lose any real weight this round, it will be because of the food choices I make. Need to make sure I'm set-up for success. Have a great weekend everyone!
10/7 = No Weigh In. I had a nice Sunday morning sleep-in and then before I could weigh-in was called to cooked breakfast for my daughter. I had promised her French toast as we had some really nice bread left over from earlier in the week. This was only for her, I am not tempted by this at all as consuming gluten makes me feel horrible. I picked my 90 day challenge workouts back up and completed day 69 of 90. I had to modify and take out the jumping parts and wore the ankle brace for extra support. I dropped each move down from 1 minute each to 30 seconds, still 3 rounds. I got through this fine, no noticeably ankle pain!
10/8 = 142.0 (no change) Probably not making my goal this round of being under 140. But it will come in time, just trying to get back into the swing of things with my workouts. Hopefully, now that I am able to get a good sweaty workout in again, I will be able to recommit to the healthy eating habits I had been practicing. I'm discouraged to know that this ankle set-back led to some self-sabotage eating, I had hoped I was beyond that. But knowledge is power, so I will stay strong and get back on track.
10/9 = No Weigh in
10/10 = 146.7 (up 4.7 lbs) Ow! That hurts just typing it. Two back to back days of making really poor choices and that is was the scale will bring you. I deserve this number. Monday went off the rails at lunch, when I got into pasta leftovers, which I should not be eating anyway due to gluten intolerance, much less in the serving size I had. Then we went to the movies where I had popcorn and a sugary cocktail, out to dinner where I had a dairy heavy soup, home to watch the Redskins lose on Monday night football where there were snacks and wine consumed. I logged it as a little over 3,000 calories. Then yesterday morning I avoided the scale (bad sign), and had normal calories all day but then lost it and more than doubled my calories with wine and snacks after dinner, came in over 2,400 calories. WTF??? I'm not stressed, there is no real reason for this binge but I feel it has been building for a bit. Spraining my ankle didn't help but I think this was coming even before that. I'd gotten a little complacent with my logging, calories, and food choices once I got under 145 lbs because I was so happy to not be "technically" fat anymore that I wasn't as diligent as I need to be. But no excuses, I made these choices. I now need to make a new choice, to refuse to sabotage all the hard work is has taken me to lose what was a 30lb loss. New day, a new re-confirmed commitment to myself and this process. "Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you".
10/11 = 145.5 (down 1.2 from yesterday, still up 3.5 lbs) Reigned it in a bit yesterday, still not 100% back on track. I had a typical breakfast but by the time for lunch, I was off track & "snacked" instead of having my normal green smoothie. But I logged it and was right at my calorie max, so I called it a day and didn't have anything more to eat. So while not the most nutritious day, was not over calories. Baby steps I drank lots of water yesterday to help flush out some of the junk food bloat and was able to get back to my 90 day challenge workouts. Day 70 completed yesterday: Jump Squat Cross Cross, Push Up Jacks, Crescent Kicks, 1-2 Punch (right leg, then left), One Arm Burpees, Spinal Balance, Single Leg Balance Lifts, Donkey Calf Raises, & V-Sit Straight Leg Circles. 3 Rounds but I've dropped each move from 1 minute each to 30 seconds to take it easy on my ankle. Still modifying some moves to be a little less intense but was able to do the jumping moves, albeit gingerly, at least pain free.
10/12 = 144 (down 1.5 from yesterday, still up 2.0 lbs) Inching my way back down. Yesterday was about 80% on track, nutrition was good and under calories, lots of water, but no exercise and 1 glass of wine. Looking to tick off all of the boxes today for nutrition, hydration & exercise. We going to be busy doing all sorts of fun fall activities this weekend. I'm taking my daughter and friend to a Graveyard Ghost tour tomorrow night. We live in an old New England town and this is something the historical society does so should be a bit of informative town history with a side of Halloween spooky. And then on Sunday, we will be headed to a local corn maze and pumpkin patch. The corn maze covers 8 acres, so if I'm not back weighing in on Monday, you'll know I'm still lost! There may of may or may not be a cider doughnut in my future this weekend as well, but only if it fits in my calories. Have a great weekend, everyone!
10/13 = 142.4 (down 1.6 from yesterday, still up 0.4 lbs) Almost back to my starting weight! Now wondering if I can pull out even the tiniest loss this round??? But will be happy with being at my start round weight, or even this weight tomorrow because the real success is that while I got derailed, I stopped it and got back on track. Major personal growth here "Never let a stumble in the road, be the end of your journey."

Day/Weight/Comment
🎀10/5 - 180.2 - My carb grams have been much higher in the past week. Yesterday the carbs were wheat flour in the form of Texas toast croutons (10) and pumpkin tortilla chips (12) They were good and crunchy, just what I needed. 😁 But what springboarded (Is that an actual word? Today it is because I'm tired) me back to 180 was not enough sleep. Making the flowers for the wall has me keeping very late hours and I've been averaging 4 hrs of sleep every night this week. Today, I finish up the flowers and assemble the boards for the wall. Every part of this project is a PROJECT. I'll take a break tonight and tomorrow, then get back to it Saturday evening and Sunday. I want it to be ready for transport on Wednesday.
🎀10/6 - 179.2
🎀10/7 - 180.2 - Not enough sleep and a really high carb day that was not vegetables. It's all good, be over soon.
🎀10/8 - 181.4 - Absolutely carbs
🎀10/9 - 181.8 - Good thing my fortitude is a lot stronger than 3lbs of fluid! Another high carb/calorie day. Today may be the same. Yesterday, I was rested, this morning, very tired, as if I had a strenuous workout.
🎀10/10 - 181.2 - Very late night quick "meal" early weigh in after 4 hrs of sleep. My friend and I thought we were would be finishing up the flower application on the wall last night. NOT! Ran out of flowers. So, last minute dyeing of filters and now I'm trying to expedite the drying of them. There is still a lot to do before Saturday. The next photo I post will be on Saturday when the flower wall is in position and on display. I must say that it is gorgeous. Not at all how we imagined it would look. It is impressive.
🎀10/11 - 181.4 - Up all night glueing flowers. TIRED. Rested for two hours and now back at it. Hoping it doesn't have to be another all nighter.
🎀10/12 - 181- Surprised at this early weigh in. High carbs again yesterday, but under 93g total. Completed the flower wall at 1am, in bed by 2:15, sleep by 2:18 I'm sure. Up at 6am, smh. I will post a pic of the wall , but lying flat on the floor doesn't do it justice.
🎀10/13 - No weigh in this morning, but I'm sure my weight is still in the 181 range. I'll take care of that after today.
