R55 (my 2nd) SW 270.4 EW 267.0 (-3.4)
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
11/2: 264.2 (-4.0) Thrilled to see this! Finished the day at 1297 calories, 61oz water
11/3: 264.0 (-0.2) Finished the day at 1108 calories, did not track water and I know I didn't drink enough. I have a hard time getting my water in on the weekends.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 - 145. Excited to be back for another challenge! I've been busy working, eating and then gaining back some weight for the past few rounds. Getting back on track now. I have continued to lift weights and meet step goals, so not all has been lost during the missed rounds. I started with 15 pounds on all of my lifts and a few of them have progressed to over 100 pounds now. It's kind of fun to see those bigger plates on the bar.
10/26 - 144. Nearly 15,000 steps yesterday, plus weight lifting and stayed a touch under my calorie goal. I swear I would have grazed my way around the house last night and doubled my calorie consumption if it wasn't for being back in this challenge. Thank you everyone for being here!
10/27 - 143. Step and calorie goals achieved yesterday. I took measurements this morning and was surprised to see that although I happened to be the exact same weight as I was last time I measured in September, every measurement (except my calves) was smaller. I know this has happened to others, but figured it was a phenomenon reserved for people who exercise a lot more intensely than I do. Seeing those smaller measurements this morning made me so happy!
10/28 - 144. I really thought that I posted this yesterday, I must have forgotten to click "post reply." Restaurant dinner on Saturday night. Ate about half of the portion, but likely still high on calories. Got home from the event at 11 pm and got that exercise in.
10/29 - 143. Lazy day at home, except for the normal weekend errands. Nice to have a weekend with only few activities. Step and calorie goals met. I can't figure out why my fitbit gave me 1000+ activity calories yesterday. It seems way too high for a day where all my activity came from housework and errands.
10/30 - 143, I think. My husband slept in this morning, so I dressed and weighed in the dark. I still hopped on the scale, but it was hard to read! Weight lifting yesterday, along with a short unplanned jog. I went on a walk during one of my son's activities. About halfway through, I realized I wasn't going to make it back to him before his class was over. I couldn't walk any faster and I was looping around a lake (turning back wouldn't have taken any less time), so I jogged about 10 minutes of what was intended to be a 45 minute walk and made back to the starting point even a little early. I ended up snacking in a very major way late last night, so it was an unimpressive end to an otherwise disciplined day.
10/31 - 144. Not surprising given the late night snacking 2 nights ago. Happy Halloween!
11/01 - 143. Back to this number. Right where I was 50 days ago, but also better than yesterday.

11/02 - 143.
11/03 - Out of town

Finishing this one out at 143. On to the next!
