10/25: 154.8/Would love to get down to 150 this round, to fall into the normal BMI range by my birthday, but getting pretty darn close is probably more realistic.
10/26: 154.4/just keep swimming...
10/27: 156.0/weekend bump. Saw A Star Is Born and it was amazing.
10/28:156.2
10/29: 158.2/Major weekend bump, celebrating a little too much this weekend.
10/30: 156.6/Busy week, hopefully I can drop some lbs with all my activities.
10/31: 155.2/Happy Halloween!
11/01: 154.6
11/02: 153.8/ So happy with the progress made! Not only am I going into a weekend, but it's my 40th, so while I want to remain vigilant I have to relax, enjoy myself and celebrate with others.11 -
Round 56 SW - 207.4 EW - 206.8
Round 57
Oct 25 - 206.6 everything is going so well! I feel great. I hope I don’t mess it up today. I don’t have lunch or supper planned and have a Halloween dance at my daughters school.
Oct 26 - 206.2 I guess things worked out well yesterday. I found something for lunch and dinner that was within my range. At the Halloween dance there was no food which is a nice change - to go to an event that is really just about the fun of dressing up and the spirit of Halloween! Now the challenge of the weekend ahead! My goal is to try and get some time today to pre plan my meals.
Oct 27 - 207.4 I wasn’t going to post but I know by posting it will help me today. I guess I went a little overboard yesterday. It’s also the TOM so I’m hoping everything will be better tomorrow.
Oct 28 - 208.2
Oct 29 - 206.8 - I’m always amazed at how much salty foods affects my weight. One day of eating clean and drinking lots of water and it’s back down again. Feeling good and motivated to keep everything in check. Looking forward to getting a walk in at lunch. Lots of water and Sri into plan today.
Oct 30 -205.8. I don’t think this number is realistic. I had to make a rush trip to the mall last night to get my son a Halloween costume. I wasn’t expecting it and it took longer than I hoped. By the time I got home it was too late to eat dinner.
Oct 31 - 206.2. This is probably a more realistic number. My goal for today is to eat according to my plan. But the ultimate goal is to limit the Halloween goal - if I have some calories have one but that’s it.
Nov 1 - 206.4 - I guess I had too many of those delicious Halloween chocolates! Today’s goal - drink a lot of water and stick to the plan in my journal
Nov 2 - 205.2 I am surprised by this number given my weight yesterday. Is it possible to fluctuate that much in a day???

Day/Weight/Comment
🎀10/25 - 178.4 - An early weigh in, but I'm certain this is true. An impromptu day out with a friend threw me off of my normal pattern. Did not drink enough water. Did not drink my electrolytes. Ate POPCORN. I bought some popcorn kernels to pop corn for my husband. WHY did I eat 2 cups of popcorn? I don't even eat corn or grains. So I deserve this temporary gain.
🎀 10/26 - 178.8 - Even though my weight dropped to 176.6 , don't forget who I am. Super Spongebarb. Lol. It will come back down. I looked back over the past 2 weeks of my diary and I've had more than a few days eating less protein than I should. Gotta correct that.
🎀 10/27 - 177 - better on carbs and water, protein in target?
🎀10/28 - 178.4 - All macros over settings yesterday. I do not fast Friday through Saturday.
🎀10/29 - 178.2 - Salt water flush today. Drank it an hour ago, nothing yet. 😦 Lol. My husband went to a friend's house yesterday to watch the football game and brought food home. He sits a plate covered in foil next to me and walks away. I thought it was for him to eat later. I look under the foil, 3 big cookies. I laughed, told him no thanks and put them in a sandwich bag. Smh
🎀10/30 - 176.6 😀
🎀 10/31 - 177.6 - You MUST have a sense of humor when it comes to daily weigh ins. Especially when you've been true to your plan. I'm pretty sure this is because, once again, I did not drink my electrolytes. 😳 I will this morning.
11/1-178.4 - Tired this morning. Retaining some fluid. Ate dinner during my fasting hours. A couple tbsps of peanut butter and my keto seed porridge with 2 additional tablespoons of chia seeds, because I added a little bit too much water to it.😕
11/2 - 179.4 - This is certainly out of left field, but may be because I've been eating later then usual? I also have been lower on sodium and still am not keeping up with my electrolytes. 😏

Male, 39
6'0"
Highest Weight (10/2016): 293
Start of Round 57 Weight: 186.6
I have lost 106 pounds so far and my goal is to get down to between 10-12% body fat (Currently about 16.1%) and then slowly bulk to gain muscle. These last 10 lbs. or so have really been giving me fits, so I thought I would join this challenge to give me a little extra motivation.
Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 186.6 - Had a pretty good day. Got a late night lift in about midnight last night with 2 miles (1 before, 1
after) on the treadmill. Need to do better on sleep. Averaging about 4 hours per night this week.
10/26 186.6 - Yesterday had an active day. Did a triceps and abs session and then ran a treadmill 5k at an easy
pace (6.5) for just under 29 minutes. Had about 15,000 steps along with the workout, so got to eat
some extra calories yesterday (2239). Deadlifts await today.
10/27 187.4 - Normal fluctuation. Didn't get my workout in because I was gonna go after watching World Series Game 3. 18 innings and 7:20 later...it was 2:30 am here when game ended. So i will try to double up today on my workouts. Also ate calories that go on today's diary last night during game after midnight so that explains the gain.
10/28 189.4 - Played and walked 18 holes of golf for over 15,000 steps. Pigged out at family get together on high carb and high sodium foods. 300+ carbs when I'm usually around 180-200 and 6600+ sodium. So I figured I would be a up a few today. It's normal for me to fluctuate 3-5 lbs based on water weight. So, no worries, back at it today and it should shed over the next few days. After losing 107 lbs, it's good to know my body well enough that I don't freak out over water weight fluctuations like I would have at the beginning.
10/29 188.6 - Pretty good day. Slightly over calories (Mexican food is my weakness). Normally my rest day, but I made up my lifting workout from Friday (Deadlifts, Assisted Pull-Ups, Overhead Press, Bicep Curls and Chest Flys). Also bowled in my Sunday evening bowling league. Hopefully will continue to shed water weight today, and I will have another lifting session today and may try to go play some basketball for cardio tonight if I can get away for long enough.
10/30 187.4 - Played full court basketball for almost 2 hours. Over 14,000 steps total. Food intake was pretty good, had a nice deficit for the day and ended up with 181 grams of protein. Plan on lifting today (Squat Day). See if we can eliminate the remainder of the water weight from last weekend. Checked body fat % and am down to about 15.1%. About 3-5% from goal on BF. Can't wait to bulk so I can up the calories some and intake more food 😁
10/31 - 187.0 - Got a really good lift in (Squats, Bench, Incline Bench, Seated Rows, Triceps). Set a couple of lifting PR's, which was fun. Also shot some baskets in the basketball gym at the Y for about 30 minutes for some cardio. Stayed around 1900 calories for a nice deficit for the day. 144 ounces of water. Waist size was down today to 33.25 inches (started over 50). Cardio day today for me.
11/01 - 187.4 - Didn't get a workout per se as I took my kiddos trick or treating. Got about 3 miles of walking in doing that however and over 11,000 steps on the day. Had a lot of sodium yesterday and feel like I'm retaining some extra water. Lifting today and will try to add abs as well since I normally do them on my cardio days but missed yesterday.
11/02 - 188.4 - Had a pretty good nutritional day and workout yesterday. Deadlifts, Assisted Pull-Ups, Overhead Press, Bicep Curl, Pec Flys, Abs and a good stretch/walk to warm up and finished with a 7:56 mile after lifting. Did pretty good on sodium too, but I didn't get much sleep last night. Need to get my rest starting tonight if at all possible.

Thanks so much @bisonpitcher. I do as well but have never fluctuated so much from the same time on one day to the same time the next day. It makes me want to check the battery on my scales!
Congrats on your progress - your numbers are super impressive! Good luck with the last 10lbs and %’s.3 -

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 - 192.6 No exercise yesterday. I drove for more than 5 hours, that was enough "exercise" for me. Good news I got a new asthma script. I didn't pick it up because I was too tired. Let's hope this new insurance means I can afford more than just the rescue inhaler. I'm crabby but still staying in calorie goal and plan on walking tonight.
10/26 - 190.9 No exercise again yesterday, but that stinky water weight is gone! I have been very tired the last two nights. MS can sometimes sneak up on me with a little exhaustion when I'm not looking. I hope to be back on track (trails really hahaha) this weekend. A short walk at lunch today (2 miles) and then a long walk either Saturday or Sunday and a 3 miler the other day. Fingers crossed the weather agrees
Last round I over estimated my goal, this round I underestimated. My amended goal for Round 57 is 189. I have 8 days to do it.
10/27 - 191.0 Went to the Farmer's Market walked 1.25 miles! Up slightly, nothing to worry about. Stayed within calorie goals but it was an emotional day.
10/28 - 191.6 Stress and sodium are the culprits. I hope I should have walked but got caught up in other things. I did shop a lot so there was walking there but I didn't turn on the app to count distance. Staying within calorie goals but sodium is high again.
10/29 - 192.9 DANG IT. I'm certain it's the stupid sodium. I ate out a lot and while I can stay in calorie goals but restaurants LOVE salt. My walking goals didn't happen. I had originally wanted to walk 50 miles in October but being sick for a week killed that. That pace was 1.61 miles a day - adjusting for a week off I need to hit 38.6. I'm at 33.2. I have to walk 5.4 miles in the next 3 days to hit my goal. Even if I don't hit my weight goal, I feel like I will have accomplished something if I can hit my mileage goal.
10/30 - 191.4 That's more like it. I still need to lose another pound to make the Round goal. I was crazy on 10/26, full of confidence that I would keep that weight off and lose more. Walked 4.15 miles yesterday, that puts me at 37.3 for the month. It was the perfect fall day for walking. I do need to leave a little earlier, it was straight dark by the time I got back to the car. I will make the 38.6 miles. Tonight is weights at the gym night and tomorrow is Halloween.
10/31 - 191.4 At least it's not going up! I am ending October with slightly over 40 miles. I am proud of myself for making a goal, being thwarted by asthma for a week, adjusting my goal for something I couldn't control and instead of being discouraged kept with it. In addition to walking over 2.5 miles at lunch yesterday, I went to the gym to work out on weight machines for over an hour. I stayed under my calorie goal so I had hoped for a drop today but I have 3 days to drop a pound. I haven't bought any Halloween candy yet, so I didn't get into it. I'm going at lunch and hopefully I can just try one of each...
11/1 - 190.1 WOOHOO!!! I was even bad last night. I had 5 - count them 5 mini candy bars. I had decided it's Halloween a little indulgence won't kill me. Wake up this morning and I'm down. The weight loss gods are fickle creatures, sometimes they need a mini-Snickers to appease them. Though I am NOT suggesting anyone do that. It would be nice if I end up at 189 after all. It would be SOOO nice to be in the 180's. I have set a goal of walking 45 miles in November. I cut it back from 50 because I doubt I'll be able to walk outside and I know I won't walk as much on a treadmill. If I do hit 50 it will be BONUS TIME!!!!!!!!
11/2 - 189.6 Let's hope we can keep that up for tomorrow. The best thing I discovered this week is my office has a hot water option on the water "cooler". I can make instant oatmeal for breakfast! This makes breakfast SO much easier and cheaper. Stayed within calorie goals and walked 3.36 miles last night. I have decided to give myself a speed goal for November. I wanted to get under 16 minute miles. When I started a few months ago I was doing 21 or 22 minute miles. Last night was my fastest yet at an average of 16:50 minute miles. One more day people...

30/10: 86.8 kg (191,3 lbs) -0.7 kg / Yesterday my motivation was definitely better than today. Hope i will still be able to stick to the plan and track everything I eat.
31/10: 85.9 kg (189.3 lps) -0.9kg / Although I could not stick to the calorie target yesterday (1800 instead if 1500), the result is still very good, and even way faster than I expected! (I am fully aware, that it’s not fat which goes away that fast, as it’s impossible, bet it is still very motivating). Pilates training is scheduled for tonight.
01/11: 86.1 (189.8 lbs) +0.3kg / Hm, but small fluctuations apparently are OK. It was again 1800 kCal instead of 1500 yesterday, but with my current weight and activity level I should still burn more than 1800 per day. So, not that bad.

R56 (my 3rd) SW 267.0 EW 266.2 (-0.8) - Ended early due to vacation
Late starting this time. I was on vacation and gained 6.4 pounds in 6 days.
I thought I did much better than I normally do on cruises and although I expected a gain, I was very disappointed by how large of a gain it was. I've been back for almost a week now and I'm doing better on my eating but haven't gotten back into logging everything and haven't started back to the gym.
Goals this round:
Log food in MFP 4/4 days (only 4 days left this round)
>1200 <1420 calories 3/4 days
Drink 54+oz water 4/4 days
Weight <= 267.2 (>=1.0 lb loss in 4 days
Round 57
10/31: 268.2 (+2.0 since 10/20) Today was the final weigh-in for my work weight-loss challenge. It was based on percentage of body weight lost. I lost 8%. My goal was 10%. I know that 8% is a great loss, but I can't help being disappointed that I didn't make my goal. I've decided to keep that goal weight as my end of the year goal. 9.2 lbs doesn't seem like a lot in nearly 9 weeks time, but actually being at that weight or less will be a challenge considering all of the holidays and I have a 7 day cruise coming up after Thanksgiving. As much as I want to slack off now that the work challenge is over, I must stay controlled! Finished the day at 1203 calories, 64oz water
11/1: DNW. Had a rough time getting going this morning. Brain would not engage and totally forgot to weigh (several other instances of my brain not working too - forgot my phone, turned the wrong direction). I think I'm down because my weight last night was the same as morning weight (yes, I'm a little obsessive and usually end up weighing twice a day but only record the morning weight). Finished the day at 1043 calories, 62oz water

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 149 Back here again, but with new motivation. I found an old tablet yesterday and was looking through old photos of myself, and got inspired to lower my goal weight to 134.5. Weight loss is first and mostly about psychology, and it really helped to see myself slimmer, smiling, looking like I felt great. Yesterday I had a really good day, lowered my calories back to 1200 and started wearing my fitbit again. Refocusing on my macros, since higher protein works best for me (carbs 25%, fat 45%, protein 30%) and seeking to hit that protein goal of 90g daily. These past 5 rounds I have indulged plenty, tasted all the foods I was desiring, and have come back to the realization that I feel better when I eat more simply. Skipping breakfast unless I am hungry, lots of salads, and grilled lean protein. Occasional treats, not daily. Looking forward to this round more than I have in a while! Have a great day everyone!
10/26 148.4 Dedicated to staying out of the 150's this round as I stay on course. Candy is in the house but I am safe! Tomorrow night we are going to a big Halloween party, so I will save some calories to snack there, but stay away from sweets. I have had enough sweets over the past several rounds to be ready to stay away.
10/27 149 Did not walk yesterday due to escorting mom to dr. and son to DMV (yay! he got his permit!) so lots and lots of sit and wait time. Ate over calories quite a bit last night and not the best choices in spite of my oh so motivated talk to myself. Today is a new day, and I am up and at em early ready for it to be outstanding! Every moment is an opportunity to begin again, have a great Saturday everyone!
10/28 149.2 Parsley cucumber lemon water is on the menu today to get rid of my Mexican food bloat from last night, but it was worth it! Hubby and I were inmates in black and white stripes, so it was comfy and the party last night was tolerable. He is leaving tomorrow until Saturday out of town, so this coming week will be a challenge. In the past when he's gone I have used it as an excuse to overeat, but not anymore! This time I will use his time away to stay focused on ME, to get my walks in, to eat how I know fuels my body best, and to spend some time introspectively and GROW. The past does not equal the future!
10/29 WEIGH IN DAY 148.4 Back here again, but this is really good!!! I am so happy not to be bouncing up as high as 150! I'm up extra early to take my honey to the airport, going to walk the hill when I get back and I will log my day. Continuing to drink the cucumber/parsley/lemon infusion, love the taste!
10/30 147.4 I dabbled here one time last week, good to see it again! Went over calories yesterday but stayed in deficit due to a lot of walking. I try not to pay attention to the fitbit adjustment, it's deceived me into thinking I can eat more than I really should. Does not seem right to eat more just because I had more steps around the house etc. I just counted out the weeks until the end of the year and we have 9 weeks until 2019! My goal is to get below 140 by then!
10/31 147 First time hitting this in a long time! I found an old weight watchers weight log card from 2003 and I distinctly remember going there to lose because I had reached a high weight of 145 and was more comfortable at my usual 135. This gave me added motivation to stay on course and continue towards my new goal of 134.5. 140 used to be my stop point, I am not sure how it crept higher and higher over the past 15 years. Ate well yesterday, since husband is away all the kids infiltrated the house, I had 4 of mine plus a couple extra in the kitchen...it was nice :-)
11/1 148.6 Ate too much bread last night, also ice cream and cookies. Knew I was doing it but did it anyway.
11/2 148.4 Don't know what happened on 10/31 except self sabotage. I had to force myself to weigh and post here, hard to admit my off the rails event. Yesterday was a better day, ate well, walked, babysat the twins, though my dogs were mad they missed the walk. Off for a predawn walk with them this morning before heading out to babysit again. Plan on another walk pushing the stroller and eating consciously today. I'd love to drop a little more before the start of next round, super hydrating today.

Day/Weight/Comment:
10/25 - 179.2 ….. I will have to make my starting weight my last weigh-in though I'm sure it is up from the travel. I can feel the horrible bloat and the sickness in my stomach. Too many carbs.
10/26 – 181.2….. Well. There it is. Yikes!!!! Glad to be home and back to routine. I have my work cut out for me, but I got this.
10/27 – 178.4….. Whoosh! Thanks Tish for that triple threat drink recipe. I knew I’d have to pull out all the stops. Wow! Nearly 3 pounds lost overnight!
10/28 - 177.0 ….. Whoosh again! Another 1.4 pounds of bloat down after drinking more of the triple threat debloating water yesterday. It’s still not completely gone so I will drink more (and make more) today. I’m down 4.2 pounds in 2 days so it’s helping a lot. I feel SO much BETTER, but I still have a bit of the round pregnant look. It used to look good on me, I would glow with that baby inside. Now, however, no baby and a little ridiculous looking for a 58 year old. So away it is going with the parsley lemon & cucumber water
10/29 - 177.0 ….. Okay, I guess I’m down to the actual travel fat gain and not just water bloat. I continued to sip on the triple threat water today so I wouldn’t waste it in the fridge, however, now the real work starts. A friend is visiting today, so not a lot of opportunity for movement, but I’ve been sticking to my food plan pretty good. Have a great week everyone!
10/30 - 177.2 ….. A little fluctuation. I will be at the hair dresser’s all afternoon doing my unique blend of foil/color. I have started to keep some of the gray in with the dark and light blondes for a more natural and age appropriate look. It’s very subtle, but it’s my way of accepting myself and learning to love myself including all my beautiful maturity! It will take a while for it to actually be all the way down to the ends, but it has been progressing and looking pretty good. I hope everyone has a blessed day. Enjoy and be safe!
10/31 - 177.2 ….. Better than a gain for sure! Excellent day yesterday. Stayed with plan & drank a good amount of water. I also walked 2 miles inside the school due to rain storms here. Thunder and lightening in cold wintery weather was very strange here. I felt very strong in mind and body.
11/01 - 177.6 ….. So, a cupcake and 5 fun-sized candy bars walk into a bar one day…….. Oh my, no joke afterall, but it was fun and delicious. I must learn how to participate in things in a different and better way! Tonight is my usual Thursday night potluck and pool hall outing. More food. Last week I ate according to plan an hour before I left so I would not over-indulge. I’ll try that again today although new recipes and offerings sometimes intrigue me. I am going to stay positive and consider these normal life events and social engagements as an opportunity to practice my lifestyle and weight loss journey. Today the glass will be half full.
11/02 - 177.2 ….. Finally another drop! I ate very very lightly at the potluck but still ended slightly over my calorie and carb plan . I have made my weight goal today. I just need to hold it through tomorrow’s weigh-in. Have a great weekend everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 165.6 Back for a new round! Hoorah! My weight is a little up, but I did what I needed to do, so it’ll come down soon. Yesterday was raining, so Thor and I didn’t get in a walk, but I did a Chalean Extreme workout. I must have done it correctly, because it was hard, as Chalean says it should be. Today, I’ll spend most of the day playing cards with friends (and watching calories).
10/26 165.0 Thor and I got in our 4 miles this morning. I’m amazed at how much his fitness is improving. We have a one acre yard, but he spends a lot of time in the house and only runs when cows, donkeys, or strangers are at the fence or an unwelcome small animal is in his yard. This walk is good for both of us! I have concerts with my gospel group this weekend, one this evening, two tomorrow, and two Sunday. All our songs are choreographed, so we get a little exercise. We carry our own equipment and set up our sound, too. No hikes with Thor this weekend, but four of us in the group are watching what we eat. We will hold each other accountable.
10/27 165.6 Early morning departure for weekend concert engagements. A church fed us lunch, and we had dinner at Dairy Queen. I had two bites of a cake at the church, and, confession time, I had a full sugar Coke at the hotel. I thought I would be able to get a Diet Dr. Pepper or Coke Zero from the vending machine, but no such luck. My Zevia sodas were locked in the bus.
10/28 No scale. Again, I allowed myself two bites of cake and a little piece of watermelon and cantaloupe at the church that provided lunch. No exercise, either day, other than performing and setting up equipment. It was an encouraging, enjoyable weekend of presenting our songs and testimonies in accordance with our theme this year of “Sharing Jesus With Urgency!” Only eleven days before we leave on our 10-day singing tour. That will be a challenge to the dietary goals of the four of us losing weight.
10/29 166.0 A little gain, but I still hope to show a loss this round. Thor and I only walked 3 miles this morning, because the Morton’s Neuroma was hurting my foot. I wore new hiking books and a metatarsal pad, but I suspect the pad needed to be moved further to the right on my foot. I’ll continue to experiment.
10/30 165.4 I sure would like to lose a little more before the end of the round. I’m still up .2 lb from the Round 56 finish. Because of toe pain, Thor and I had to keep our walk at 3 miles again. We stopped to help neighbors helping a local business owner—move tables and chairs and sweep. I early-voted yesterday, so I’m trying to remember why I feel like I need to go into town today.
10/31 164.4 To be sure, I mounted the scale 3 times and got the same reading each time. Whew! I remembered this morning I needed to go to town for a haircut yesterday. Now, I have to wait until tomorrow and hope my favorite hairdresser is working. More exercise is supposed to improve my brain function—I hope it helps. It’s a rainy day, so Thor is disappointed to miss our walk. Meet my sweet Thor, 3-yr-old long-coat German Shepherd.
11/01 164.4 No change, and that’s okay. No walk today, either—it’s strictly a social day with friends. As soon as I get home, I have to study tax law. Have a wonderful November day!
11/02 162.8 Nice surprise! I studied hard enough to burn calories?
Perhaps the card games did it--my team won both games. I did say no to a glass of wine and only took a small taste of pumpkin bread and Texas Sheet Cake. Exercising my will power--that must be it! I hope this number holds through Monday for my weekly check-in. I’m posting while I hydrate and wait for the morning to warm up a little before Thor and I take our walk. Thor's letting me know it's time to go, so have a great Fall day everyone!

Round 57
10/25 150.5 Late posting today but I did weigh this morning. Glad the little bit I gained came off pretty quickly. 😊
10/26 150 Yayyy! Definitely made me happy to see this number this morning. I shared a story on my personal page yesterday that when I went for my walk, I seen an elderly lady that I met several months ago and haven't seen since. She knew who I was once we started talking, but she said the reason she didn't recognize me at first was my weight loss. Feels great to be noticed 😊
10/27 150 I will be away for the rest of the weekend so I won't have access to a scale tomorrow. Will try and still post though. I am going to a fall festival tonight and I have no idea what kind of foods there will be. Plan to eat light! 10/28 Away, did not weigh- went to a Halloween party Saturday night, there were only hotdogs and lots of carb-y foods, so I did splurge a little.
10/29 150 whew I was afraid to step on the scale this morning from the weekend. No exercising yesterday or Saturday since I was away, and I had several treats but didn't over stuff myself. Also took a break from logging my foods. Back to logging and exercising today. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
10/30 150 the real test is gonna be tomorrow with all the Halloween candy. Only 4 more days to meet my goal for this round and get in the 140's. 10 days really go by fast!
10/31 149.5 Not holding on to this number though because tonight we are trick or treating and then going to a party, so will be lots of goodies and drinks.
11/01 151 annnddd I knew this was gonna happen. Not mad, not even upset because I am lucky I didn't gain 5+ pounds from the way I ate last night. Had a glass of wine also. Today is a new day, new month. Lots and lots of water today, and going to try and stay out of the brownies we had left over and kids candy!!
11/02 150.5 my weight came down a little from yesterday, I had a terrible sweets craving yesterday though so I did give in to them. Looks like I just maintained for this round, it's ok though- my own fault! Ready for the next.

10/25 - 164.2 Great start, but I doubt it’ll last! We’ll see 😃 Headed to the doctor soon to have my blood pressure measured for 24h. My pulse and bp has been acting up like crazy when I exercise, so I had to have a careful exercise week. Going to the gym tomorrow, but will probably have to take it a bit slow
10/26 - 163.8 (-0.4) Wow, this is great! Lower number two days in a row, didn’t expect to be losing this soon after my last woosh. Awesome! Getting closer and closer to my “goal” everyday. The 24h blood pressure thing is horrendous 😂 It has only managed to measure me standing up 1 time.. Wish there was like a button on it that I could press, so it would measure when I actually stand up and have symptoms.
10/27 - -- Took this day off logging and mfp for the first time in 4 months
10/28 - 164.2 (+0.4) No wonder, since I took yesterday off I had my regular food and I ate some candy on the side for the first time in 4 months. So I basically had one cheat meal. I'm back on track again and logging. Feeling more hungry today, but that's probably because I ate more carbs yesterday. I'm under calories for today and will continue under calories for the rest of the week.
10/29 - 164.2 (--) No change today Yesterday was fine, but like I said.. I was so hungry! Weird how your body craves more and more carbs when you eat a little more carbs than usual one day. I'm very happy that I have self control. Earlier I couldn't eat candy/cake/sweets etc one day without falling completely off and continuing to eat sweets like a crazy person, so I'm happy that has changed This journey is about so much more than just the weight loss..
10/30 - 163.5 (-0.7) Wooho
10/31 - 162.4 (-1.1) I’ll see you soon 150 😂 Headed to the gym in a couple of hours.. Haven’t been exercising since sunday and I feel really bad! Been kinda hard exercising with my low blood pressure. I’m having huge problems with just washing my clothes to be honest 🙈 Gonna get a workout in today, will probably do some exercises while sitting/laying down. I bet it’ll be refreshing for mind, body and soul.
☠️ HAPPY HALLOWEEN! ☠️
11/01 - 161.8 (-0.6) This round is just going waaaay better than I expected! Headed to the gym today aswell 😃👍🏻 Had a lovely Halloween.. I even logged a chocolate, but didn’t end up eating it. Because I didn’t feel like eating chocolate (omg, huge shock). Big victory for me 😂 I used to have halloween as an excuse to stuff my face, but this year it was about family time, the decorations and the hilarious makeup. Actually one of the best halloweens I’ve ever had.
11/02 - 162.2 (+0.4) Okay, a small bump up! I ate more carbs yesterday than I use to, so that's probably the reason. Stayed under cals tho
