This is my twelvth round. The last round was pretty bumpy, so I'm hoping for a better time this round. I may decide to reset my Mini-goals....rather than be frustrated for the next 5 months!! They looked pretty reasonable two weeks ago!

Round Result

kmfeig87

@mamarh -- There are all sorts of reasons for scale fluctuations --some of them rational, others not so much Concentrate on the ten day trend and don't fret about the daily ups and downs! There are some people who post a steady downward trend, but many of us fluctuate quite a bit!
@BethE238 -- Hope you feel better!

Round 65 (this is my 2nd time)

5'4" Female
SW: 162.7 lbs
GW: 140-145 lbs

Three goals for next 10 days:
1. Continue to focus on having only 1 snack at night, even if this is a bag of chips or ice cream. Yes, I know this is not healthy, but I have to start with baby steps. Just by limiting to one snack instead of eating 3+ at night will help me in the long run. Once I am better at this, I will slowly begin making the 1 snack be healthier options.
2. Workout 3 days a week before work.
3. Lose 1 lb (I am a roller coaster......in round 64, you'll see up, down, up, down, up, down......)

1/13 - 162.7 - today is a homework day and I am notorious with snacking when I do this. So, I plan to find ways to NOT snack on crap throughout the day. If I am up by tomorrow, I hope by only 0.3lbs.

@mamarh - your weight can go up by a lb for so many reasons.

• Have you had a bowel movement?
• Water intake?
• Salt intake?
• Hormone levels
• What did you eat yesterday? Even if you were below your calorie goal, the scale may still go up based off of what you ate.
• TOM

Don't worry about the every day scale......use this as challenge to really look at where you were 10 days ago to where you were now. Yes, we log everyday, but the 10 day overall picture is the important part.

Have a great day! You've got this!

Day/Weight/Comment

01/13 - 203.7 (5839 steps) – Today is my 1st full day here in this challenge. Didn’t make it to the barn to ride yesterday. We got lots of snow. Zero structure to my day. Could have been a potential problem. I had 2 meals still leftover from last week’s meal prep so, I used those for lunch/dinner. Rode the recumbent bike in the living room for a total of 50 mins (10.05 miles). Still allowed myself room to have a pint of Halo Top.

Day/Weight/Comment

01/13 180.0 What an up-down-turn-it-around last round. It was an emotional roller coaster for me and it showed in my eating and weight. I’m so happy that we’re taking things 10 days at a time. The chance to review mistakes and make necessary changes is refreshing and motivating. Thanks Grandma Jackie for your dedication to keeping this going.

Day/Weight/Comment

01/13 - 138.8
I've decided to stop obsessing about calories, at least for this round, and to focus on macros (approx. 20% P, 30% F, 50% carbs, mostly veggies, fruit, and whole grains) plus exercise, meditation, fun, community, and sleep. Although I'd like to weigh about 10-12 pounds less, I'm at a healthy weight and feel good, so as maintenance or slow loss, I'm happy either way.

@Birder165 I’m happy to have been one of the people to carry on the challenge posts. It was working for me and I couldn’t let it die!

@puttyputty Do the best you can with C25K. I am not a runner. I have done several 5K races.

congrats @puttyputty !! ~ 100 pushups is great goal! you inspire me to do a little more in that area

It's funny because I really don't much like push ups, but I viewed it as something that would be very challenging and help me improve upper body strength. Both things have come true! If anyone is interested, this is the challenge I'm doing: https://hundredpushups.com/test.html

@puttyputty thanks! Honestly I must have looked awful but powered on through. It can only get better

@Fightingthefat2019, I'm so glad the scale doesn't measure how goofy we look when we exercise! Or record the things I say to myself when I'm doing it!

Does anyone else gain weight day after exercise?

It's water - your body uses fluid to help repair your muscles. It's a good thing, really!!

Yep, @mamarh, as @MimiOfTheLusciousLawn (great username!) said, it's water. For me, my gains are especially high when I do crunches. So that's why you just need to use the scale to show trends and to understand how your body is reacting to various inputs. Don't get discouraged! Just anticipate some little (or sometimes big) bumps up in that phantom weight after exercise and know that it doesn't mean you aren't losing fat.

quiltingjaine

@mamarh It is quite common to gain after a workout, especially if you do weights. Muscles hold onto water for recovery. I always drink at least an extra liter of water when I workout.

@quiltingjaine, no C25k for me right now, but it's a fantastic program.
