🍁10/15🍃 150.8 this weekend was a wash. I managed to stay under calories but the food choices were a bit questionable and I managed to work out but not like I had been during the week before I got sick. I am feeling better today but still have a dry cough which is just as bad as a stuffy nose. Hoping to get back into my routine today. Regardless a loss is a loss and I hope it stays that way

🕸10/16🕷 150.4 yesterday I had an ok day. Eating didn't have much variety, high carb day, exercised for a little over an hour and drank 1.3 liters of water. Still have a cough which is starting to annoy me. Want to get back to my usual workout

🎃10/17🎭 150.0 ate under and exercised good, drank 1.3 liters. This is where my weight starts to tease me..lol

Day/Weight/Comment

🎀10/15 - 180.2 - Still tired lol. 65g carbs, 52g net carbs. Last night I thought I would have a good report on carb intake, then I remembered the bread and butter that I ate with my DGD, smh. I have some reading to do on the last thread.

🎀10/16 - 181.6 - I have been neglecting my electrolytes. Sodium and potassium have been very low for the past 2 weeks. Probably also contributing to my tiredness. Carbs were higher than 25g yesterday, but I can go as high as 50g without a problem. So, the plan is ele(ctrolytes twice a day until my body adjusts.

🎀10/17 - 179.8 - Electrolytes X 2✔ 10 hours of sleep?!✔✔ That NEVER happens. Still tired though, lol. So tired that I missed noting my 365 day streak with MFP yesterday. Inadvertently, I did a sort of egg fast. My first meal, I ate 2 boiled eggs that were sitting in the fridge with some cheddar cheese. I wasn't in the mood for the dinner that I prepared, so my second meal was an omelette filled with spinach and arugula.

Did well on my weight loss last round but not on my other goals. Will be leaving on vacation on 10/20 so I won't be able to finish out this round since I won't have internet access. I also won't be tracking my food/calories while I'm gone. I plan to enjoy eating on the cruise without going overboard on junk. I also plan to focus on increasing my water intake and getting more exercise on vacation.

Goals this round:
Log food in MFP 5/10 days (only doing 1st 5 days of the round)
>1200 <1420 calories 5/10 days
Drink 54+oz water 5/10 days
Weight <= 265.4 (>=1.6 lb loss) on morning of 10/20

Round 56
10/15: 267.2 (+0.2) made whole wheat spaghetti for dinner. First time having pasta since July and I had high expectations, but frankly it was awful! Didn't eat much and ended up just having a protein shake to get my calories up and get some protein. I still want the sweets (but avoiding them except for my low sugar protein shakes and an occasional piece of dark chocolate) but have no interest in starches. 1114 calories, 104g protein, 50oz water
10/16: 266.4 (-0.8) took a break during the afternoon at work and went for a walk 1318 calories, 93g protein, 63oz water

Round 55 SW 151.6
This is my first time doing this. I really like the idea of "ten days" because I know I can at least give that! My biggest issue is the weekend, I tend to go all out and undo my hard work for the week. My goal this week is to not go above maintenance this weekend, and hopefully see results that aren't wiped out by a two day free for all!


10/15 : 151.6 - Had a trip to the fair so hoping some of this drops of quickly!lots of salt and carbs this weekend!
10/16 : 150.8 - Squeezed in a lot of walking today at the office!
10/17 : 149.8 - Had a light dinner last night so I'm sure this will shoot back up tomorrow, but I'm enjoying it now!

10/17 131 Cookie and candy corn update—they won yesterday! The insidious cookie worked it’s way into my hand during This Is Us…worst possible time! I’m not too upset about the candy corns, though. I treated myself to 5 at a time throughout the day (total of 15/100 cal). Otherwise, I ate healthy and clocked 21K steps (lots of back and forth, cleaning around the house, walked Brewster).

Back/shoulder pain subsided and I’m ready to do a stair session this morning! Pleased with the .2lb loss. A loss is a loss, right?

I had my weigh in with my doctor yesterday so that was stressful, I didn’t eat at all until I had my appointment and their scale said I weighed 181 but theirs has always been about a pound or so lighter. I am hoping to be at least 178 by end of October.

Starting off on a high # on the scale today because we had dinner at the inlaws last night. Taco chili! Yummy for fall but high carb for me, followed by German plum cake expecting to see a quick drop back to 183ish so I'd like to get strongly below that number this round! Plan for tomorrow: write out my food plan, Day 2 of 30 day yoga challenge. Glad to be here, this is a great challenge which helps keep me mindful.

10/16: 184.6 had a good eating day yesterday but I need to get better with tracking my food! and planning ahead as well. Hanging tough till Friday night, have a girls dinner party to go to and the hostess is making hot buttered rum as the signature drink.

10/17: 185.0 I feel ok about this because I had mexican last night. stayed within my calories but it was saltier than normal so not bad considering. I am behind on my yoga challenge already, need to make some time in the day to get that in!

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

10/15 - 192.4, following a weekend getaway with some pretty lax eating. Looking forward to focusing on my goal for the next 10 days!

10/16 - 193.0, which I think is some delayed fallout from my bingey weekend. Also, I had 150 cals of popcorn for a post-workout carb last night just before bed, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of that gain is salt retention too. Ate within my targets yesterday, so I'm sure I'll see the scale moving in the right direction soon.

10/17 - 192.6, moving the right way today! Last night, I was eating Monday's leftovers for dinner, and realized I made a mistake tracking the meal, and was shy 300 calories! That also helps explain the increase yesterday... figured it out and fixed my mistake. I'm hoping I can hit 190 by the end of this round... I haven't seen a 1-8 at the front of my weight in years (unless the scale has been glitching haha) and it's feeling so close!

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.

10/15 149.4 Head back in the game after this maintenance trend since round 53. I do feel really good at this weight, but would like to drop a little bit more before I call it official. I don't want my maintenance to fluctuate so close to the next decade!!
10/16 DNW I had a meeting with my staff yesterday and they surprised me with a feast of homemade food, so pretty much threw in the towel as I had to fully indulge and appreciate the love that was given through their food. Scared to step on the scale, only the second time this has happened on this journey. I feel so bloated today, but such is life. I plan on a today being a great day!

10/17 150.6 Did really well yesterday, this is the fallout from the weigh in I skipped. I am pre tracking my food today, walking the hill, drinking at least 12 of my big 14 oz glasses of water today, and practicing gratitude.

10/16 176.2 My son headed out with a friend yesterday so I went for a walk by myself - it was chilly so I didn't stay out long. Started today with a workout.
10/17 176.2 Was really hoping for a loss today. I ate under calories yesterday and did an 8 mile walk with my son on top of my morning work-out. Today will be mostly a rest day - I am wiped and will need to be mindful to avoid zombie eating.

R55 Vacation

Day/Weight/Comment

10/15 DNW Vacation
10/16--220.4 I'm back from my vacation! Considering how little water I drank and the amount of food I ate during my 10 day vacation I am estatic that my scale showed an increase of less than 5 lbs. Of course when I attempted to weigh my food this morning on my food scale the scale showed a low battery so I couldn't weigh my food. I have the day off today, so this morning is a massage, I need it from all of the walking I did on the trip, and possibly Zumba later tonight. I will probably take the dog out for a longer walk this afternoon since it is going to be a great sunny fall day today.
10/17--220.6 Tired. I also feel like I have a cold coming on. I am very glad that I was able to get right back to my food logging after my trip. Goal today is to get my water in.
10/18--220.9 Don't know why the scale is going up I can only think that it is due to my body trying to fight this cold off and post vacation eating fluctations. Slept for 9 hours last night and could have slept for more. I will just stay focused with my eating and stay hydrated. Yoga tonight.
