Day/Weight/Comment

10/15 = 141.7 (up .4 from yesterday) Spent the day at a Corn Maze/Pumpkin Patch, no healthy choices so did small portions. Expected a small bump up from this.

10/16 = 141.9 (up .2 from yesterday) Ugh! Not off to the best start this round, went out for Asian food last night, again just kept to small portions, a slice of scallion pancake and a small portion of sesame chicken with rice. I have Cookbook club tomorrow night (dinner party where everyone cooks & brings a dish from the selected cookbook) so trying to keep my nutrition really tight today in anticipation of another bounce up from that on Thursday morning's weigh-in. I have day 73 of 90 workout on the schedule for today as well, looking forward to a good sweaty workout. Lots of water today, trying to flush out the sodium from the previous days.

Goal weight this round: <182
Ultimate goal weight: <160

10/15: 186.4
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.

Round 56 (My 10th)

10/15 152 I'm really surprised I didn't gain anything from the weekend. I felt so full and yucky yesterday from all the wine I had Saturday night. I only had 700 calories yesterday though because I really couldn't eat much. Not complaining though! Hope you all are well, I didnt have much time on my phone this weekend to read all your posts but I plan to go back through them today .
10/16 151 Woohoo! So close to the 140's. I was just thinking back to my crazy hunger phase that I had back in September. So glad I pushed through it .

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.

15th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Last round was a gain but now into the winter routine and hoping to shed the gain from the last 2 rounds and be back to 159 or under.

Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2
Round 40 – on holidays, gain +1.6
Round 41 – SW 164.4, loss -2
Round 42 - SW: 162.6, loss -.6
Round 43 – SW 162, loss -.4
Round 44 – SW 161.6, loss -1.6
Round 45 – SW 160.8, gain +1
Round 46 – SW 161.8, gain +.6
Round 47 – SW 162.4, loss -2.2
Round 48 – SW 160.2, missed most of this round and Round 49 as I was away without computer or scale.
Round 50 – SW 160.2, loss -.8
Round 51 – SW 160.8, loss -1

Round 53 – SW 159.8, loss -1.4
Round 54 – SW 158.4, gain +.6
Round 55 – SW 159.4, +2.4

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 (1 lb per round would put me at 131).

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 – 161.9 - Early to the gym today as hubby needed the car so posting late. Sure feels good to have worked the muscles a bit.
10/16 - 162 – Argh, the last few weeks coming home to roost. Having fed the cravings monster faithfully, now have to beat it back and kick it out. Listened to Youtube last night and someone made an aside comment about the theory that what we eat promotes certain bacteria in our gut so if we eat lots of sugar/carbs we will crave that because that is what our gut bacteria now want.

Round 56: My 23rd round!!
10/15 158.6 BMI=23.8!!!!
I was on a 3 day/2 night trip- ate 1 meal out each day (which I never do) & tracked all, walked over 37K steps. Lost 0.2lbs. I’m thrilled. The other trip we took, I gained & was hungry all the time. Pleased this one worked out!
10/16 157.0 BMI=23.5!!!! Lowest Weight Yet!!!
This is a Huge day for me!!
On the day of my fall & arm break, my weight was 157.8. Immediately after, it went to 161, and after surgery, it immediately went up to 165.8. All Along, despite being hugely disappointed with the weight gain, I kept walking/exercising and tracking all of my food carefully. I hope it was just water.
Today was my Reward.

Only 7 pounds to my Final Goal Weight!!

Really want to meet my goal this time on the day of my final weigh-in. Last time I had a lot of sodium just before. Going to make sure to get to it! I'm determined!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15- 184.2- good thing this went back down. Weekend didn't go as well as it could have to be honest but I packed a really healthy lunch today and the day has been good so far! Will go to the gym to workout later in the day after my class. I'm a little behind on biochemistry due to my biology exam last week so will be catching up on that today until class starts.

10/16- 184.4- Not upset over this. I think it will be better tomorrow. I worked out yesterday. Won't be able to today. Have a lot of studying to do today.

I'm in!

SW: 67 kilos
CW on October 14th: 66.3, but I'm gonna eat cheese and wine, so...
GW: 56 kilos by the end of May, or 103 cm bottom size
FDW (fantabulous dream weight) 53 Kilos

Goal at the end of this round: 65. Feasible, as last week got to 65,3, before being a bit naughty and gaining.

This round I'll concentrate on:

*drink at least 1,5 lt of non-tea water per day
*eat soup 5/7 evenings
*try 2 vegan choccy mousses (no flour, no refined sugar)
*no chocolate or manufactured desserts 5/7
*max 2 glasses of wine per day, 6/7, plus an aperitif or two with friends
*pretend house chores are exercise and get stuff done

Wish me luck and willpower!

10/15 weighed at 66.3 kg, had excellent day, long may it continue!
10/16 weighed at 65,9 kg, had another excellent day, hoping in another small loss tomorrow?

Round 7 for me. I've not been consistent and dropped out in round 5 and messed up in round 6. This has resulted in a 2 pound gain, but to be honest, I needed to give the scale a break as it was making me more depressed than helping me focus. Anyway, I'm back with a refreshed mind and a fighting spirit. Goal to get to 190lbs this round.
good luck to you all.
SW (this round) 193lbs
10/15 193lbs - no change, which is better than a gain
10/16 195lbs ...so disappointed, but I'm hoping that is it all the water that I've been drinking and the fact that I did a kettle bar routine and my muscles are recovering... oh well all I can do is keep on trying

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

This is my third round. I think the best part of this challenge is that in recording the weight every day with a comment, I talk myself down from the hype that comes with weighing myself every day. It’s so easy to have the scale affect my mood. This challenge reminds me that my goal for the 10 days is to lose 1.5 – 3 lbs and puts the scale—the ups, the downs, the lack of movement, the ups and downs…into perspective! Thanks everyone and good luck this round!
