@quiltingjaine That may have been my one time using the disagree button, but it was GLORIOUS!
@arlak21 Sometimes the scale takes a little longer than you think it would to "notice." You may be right, but be prepared for the possibility of an increase in the next couple of days that does not make any sense to you.
@Anlaing016 Nice comeback! Keep up the great work!5 -

GOALS
Halfway GW: 140.4 (-17.4) <<achieved!>>
UGW: 123
GW this round: 128.2-129.2 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 128.4 I'm under a lot of stress and not feeling well. Feeling highly ambivalent about my journey, which is scary. This is what happens to people in maintenance if they're not careful! I'm close enough to goal that I'm slipping in my hard-earned habits simply because I feel mostly good about how I look- tons better, anyway. I need to refocus, come up with some new goals.
09/01 128.4 Going on vacation, and still feeling meh. I should probably take a diet break (did this before by calculating maintenance calories and it worked out well), but... I have a feeling I'm going to come back heavier.
09/02 DNW, on vacation
09/03 130.6 Maybe I needed to go this far- back upward enough (+2.2 lbs and back in the 130s) that I can see the lost progress- in order to get my head back into it. And...THIS is why this challenge works, THIS is why we weigh every day, right, folks? We can catch ourselves mid-fall instead of when we're all the way on the ground, wondering how that 10, 15, 30 lbs creeped up on us. Motivated again!
09/04 128.6 Back into the 120s! Hoping I can keep it here for the rest of the round.
09/05 127 To quote Keanu Reeves from The Matrix (and every other Keanu film), "Whoa."
09/06 128.2 Seven days into this round, I'm back to the day 1 weight. It's good, actually, because this is after a three-day holiday weekend in which I went kinda off the rails. I'm learning how to recover from "off" days without turning them into "off" weeks. In the big picture view, this is progress, guys!
09/07 127.6 Hmmmm, yesterday was In-N-Out for lunch, salmon and kale salad for dinner, ice cream for dessert, and right within my calories. I loved everything I ate, and I'm down today. If I wasn't logging and weighing, I'd never know I could eat an In-N-Out cheeseburger and lose weight!

OSW: 177.1 lbs
LTG: 110.0 lbs

Goals for 10 day Challenge:
- loose 1.5 pounds
Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 126.4 Well the 1.6 lb whoosh at the end of the round went right back up to previous weight so as usual have to wipe out the gain at the beginning before showing anything for the round - LOL. Dinner out the night before was heavy on sodium/carbs (although guesstimated calories were under), so may come back down after a day or so. Tried Xtrain today (20 min spin/tabata body weight exercises)!
09/01 126.4 Well at least it did not go up! Only 2.6 lbs away from Healthy BMI! patience, patience patience...
09/02 126.6 Up, but according to scale the gain is muscle and not body fat so will take this as a plus - LOL. Typical pattern after a whoosh - exercise has been great as well as calories so expect the upward pattern will break in the next day or so. Just to repeat again, but as long as the number of drops/amounts are more than the stalls/increases I will be making forward progress!
09/03 126.6 same. anyway another whoosh... pasta for dinner (aglio & olio with shrimp) with 2 servings of linguine (refeed/cheat day :-) but within macros. Tried foam rolling today for first time! Definitely adding that to my workout repertoire!
09/04 124.8 Back to weight at end of round so breaking even at this point. Spin class and then later this evening some ab work. Hopefully weight will stay around in the 124-125 range and not bounce back up in the 126's. Overall loss rate is still stable.
09/05 125.4 up, but typical, so not worried. NSV is that this is 5 pounds below what MFP or Pacer predicted for this day 5 weeks ago! (neither used exercise calories and I do not eat those back). Saw the nutritionist today and no tweaks to diet/exercise at this point so at current rate should reach goal weight in November and will retest BMR for maintenance plan. Good strength/cardio workout today followed by foam rolling and sauna so hope no DOMS and water retention tomorrow! Need to catch up on sleep - took an hour nap before dinner tonight so going to try to get to bed earlier tonight!
09/06 124.4 Yeah!!! new low! It is my third time to cross milestone 11 (125.0 lbs) on the Happy Scale app so really hoping that this time I stay below 125. - third time is the charm - no? Workout today Latin dance class before work and then a 30 minute spin class during lunch. Calories good for the day, but Fri/Sat are the days I allow wine with dinner/after (if within calorie budget - I split alcohol calories over carb/fat to be accountable) so hoping don't get a bump from that at tomorrow's weigh in. Challenge tomorrow will be that we are having friends over for dinner so will try to get to the gym for XTrain at 9:15 plus weights.
09/07 123.6 Happy Dance!!!! First time weight is below cut off for healthy BMI (25)! (Major STG reached!!!!) Did XTrain this am which may help to balance the dinner tonight with friends. Definitely over budget, but will treat as a refeed/cheat day! Most of meal was within macros, but made Dulce de Leche ice cream with salted macadamia nuts and had to try some! Life is too short to not enjoy treats now and then! Besides there is always the gym tomorrow or the next day. I have had ups, but usually quick to come back off as long as I keep up exercise. Body should definitely be refueled for Weights and Cycle tomorrow!

So I am going to be out of town for the first 3 days of this round to attend my FIL's services. I am not going to have a lot of control over my food choices seeing as I will be eating what my husband's family will be serving and probably a lot of restaurant food. This round I am sure is just going to be another maintenance round for me, which I am fine with. If it takes me losing a pound or two a month until the end of the year to finally reach my goal I am fine with that.
8/31 - no scale out of town
9/1 - no scale out of town
9/2 - no scale out of town
9/3 - 148.7 didn't post yesterday, but did weigh.
9/4 - 146.7 going back down to my normal weight. Should be well under 145 by tomorrow. Was a very stressful weekend, it's so weird how death affects everybody differently. We actually had some lady show up to the services saying she had a will and wanted everything my FIL owned (which by the way isn't a lot,lol). It was so weird and over the top, never expected anything like that. I am just glad to be home and back to some kind of "normal" routine. We had to go grocery shopping after work last night as we had nothing to even cook dinner with. I also had 3 loads of laundry that needed to be done and had to help the 2 youngest finish unpacking. To say the that I am exhausted is a complete under statement. I put a pot roast on for tonight and am planning on picking up a red-box and doing nothing but relaxing. I am working on my water, but other than that my motivation is not great. I'm trying, but half heartily right now and I am ok with that. Glad to be back and just have some accountability at this point.
9/5 - 145.1 And we continue the water/sodium/stress loss. Maybe I will be back to my pre-4 day trip out of town weight tomorrow (143.6). I have just been working on water intake and eating at home since I have been back. I have not eaten at a deficit once and don't really plan on doing it till probably the next round. Tomorrow starts my birthday weekend and after the last couple of weeks I just need to have a little fun and relax. So far I have been able to maintain even with my crazy spikes between 142-144 for the last couple of weeks as long as I drink my water and don't go crazy with eating out.
9/6 - 145.1 Was really expecting to be lower, but am ok with being here. I am still on my diet break and am just trying to work on maintaining at this point. I am only about 10 pounds away from my ultimate goal right now, but have zero motivation. So I am hoping after this little break and after my birthday I will get it back and be able to get rid of these last couple vanity pounds that I still have. I am still eating low calorie dinners and lunches, drinking plenty of water, and watching my snacks. My breakfast is the only thing I have upped in calories, but not by much and my carbs have been higher.
9/7/- 143.8 this is where I thought I would have been yesterday. I’m trying to work on maintenance right now, so hopefully I keep it together this weekend.

Have been totally snowed under this week as all my activities have restarted. Lovely to see people doing so well. I am over the moon to be finally approaching maintenance. At this rate one or two more rounds will see me there. Then the real hard work starts to stay there. 😂 😂 😂

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Still flushing salt. I finished a bathroom redo yesterday — here’s a pic. The old version was old oak cabinets and icky tan walls. Now I’m painting and reorganizing the garage, and next up, the laundry room.
09/05 -163
More painting today. Whee!
09/06 - 162.8
First coat on the laundry room/furnace/hot water room — not the most fun I’ve ever had, but the sunshine yellow walls and beautiful turquoise door (painted a couple of weeks ago) make me happy. And happy women lose more weight and stay healthier! ;-) Have a lovely weekend, all.
09/07 - 162.6
I baked up a storm yesterday — mini macaroons, salted caramel bars, and a spice cake — for a fundraiser tonight, and I’m proud to say I had only a teensy taste of each to be sure they were edible. My DH assures me they are. :-) I’m hoping there will be some veggies and/or fruit there as well! Salad for lunch, eggs for breakfast, so there’s that. Enjoy your Saturday!

I forgot to weigh myself this morning — probably subconsciously on purpose. Yesterday was terrible nutritionally, though I don’t think I went much over on calories. We shall see tomorrow.

Liver friendly cleansing foods again this week and a strong push on water consumption. I haven't been drinking enough. Weather is cooler and less grass pollen being kicked up by lawn mowing, (I'm allergic to grass) so walking is back on the agenda.

Round 87 was a mess. I have done better the last two or three days and I found out from the doctor that I just need patience and time for my hip to heal there isn’t a lot she can do and physio won’t help.
Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 - 184.0 - had a fairly decent day yesterday. Did eat more than my allotted calories but still in maintenance.
Sept 1 - 184.0 - a little surprised as we had an appetizer selection supper last night and it was all high sodium.
Sept 2 - 187.0 - there it is, I knew I couldn’t have eaten all that sodium enriched food without it showing on the scale.
Sept 3 - 185.8 - need to keep up with the water today.
Sept 4 - 186.6 - hmmm not sure why it’s up today. Must be the little bit of Chinese food I had for lunch yesterday. I’m not a fan so it was very little.
Sept 5 - 187.0 - certainly the wrong direction
Sept 6 - 182.4 - I triple checked this today.
Sept 7 - 186.2 - that seems more realistic to me
Sept 8 - 184.0 - back to where I started at least.

OSW 382.0
RSW 298.6
My goal for this round is to not gain too much while eating at maintenance. I will be at maintenance calories for this entire round.
08/31 298.2 Interesting. I’m happy with this as it should mean that I’m staying on track with my plans. Yesterday I was hungry for no real reason, this happens to me near ovulation. However I didn’t expect that at higher calories it would still happen and it’s something that I’ll have to watch out for.
09/01 300.4 Eep. It’s okay though I was high sodium and high carb and I didn’t have enough water.
09/02 299.6 Better. I think the sugar, high carb, or something isn’t agreeing with me. I’ve limited sweets a lot over the last few months so several days of them has been a little much. Thankfully all the birthday cake is gone, but there will be more on Thursday for my daughter’s birthday. Next year I might split the recipe into two separate cakes rather than making two full cakes. Live and learn.
09/03 301.0 I weighed late, but I’m not sure I would be a lot lower. I over ate a bit yesterday so I deserve this bounce up.
09/04 301.6 One thing I’m trying during this break is some shifts to my breakfast and lunch. Yesterday they didn’t stay with me and I was starving at dinner time. I was in my calories, but it was a big meal. Needless to say I won’t be doing that again.
09/05 303.6 One week down, one to go. I know how I’ve been eating so I know that most of this will go quickly once I restart.
09/06 302.6 Oh that’s nice. It’s been a little rough seeing the higher numbers, but in addition to more carbs/food I also bounce up during this point in my cycle. Hopefully the next few days will continue to see the water retention go away.
09/07 301.8 I’m happy to be continuing to drop the water weight. I have a few more days left of eating at maintenance and I have a few new plans in place and some new perspectives on my eating habits.

OSW-187 Sept. 2018
Goal this round: 159, alcohol only on weekends, lots of water and no junk food.
8/31-167
9/1-DNW
9/2-168-Not bad after the weekend. Not much exercise lately. I’ll go for a big walk this morning and be back on track.
9/3-169-Hmm-I read about reducing visceral fat by walking so fast that you’re winded. I did that for 5 miles yesterday and thought I was going to die! My back was hurting. I am going to try for my normal 7 miles this morning at a comfortable pace and some swimming that stretches my back.
9/4-167-I got a big walk in yesterday and ate pretty good. I have been quilting a lot and I sit a lot doing that. 1/2 walk and swim today.
9/5-167–Whew! Yesterday I stopped in the quilt store they asked me to stay for a birthday party and I ended up eating cake for breakfast! After that I went home and got some protein. Birthday party at a Mexican restaurant tonight. Yikes!
9/6-167-Whew, again! Walked 7 miles yesterday, ate good, then went to a birthday dinner at Mexican restaurant. I did pretty good with food, and had a piece of cake and drank water instead of the pitchers of margaritas that were passed around.
9/7-166-Walked 5 miles and did a ton of housework. Glad to be down today (Saturday), I’ll probably behave myself.
9/8-165-good food choices and no alcohol over the weekend.
I have my coffee with all of you each morning.😊☕️7 -

08/31 away from scale
09/01 away from scale
09/02 144 now that all family events are over and summer is coming to an end I am looking to get back into some kind of routine. I have too. I am super disappointed by this number. Felt like within a month u managed to reset 6 months of hard work. So unfair!
09/03 143.8
09/04 143.6
09/05 143.2 FFS work has still been crazy.. workouts have been less but I have stopped eating out on a better note. With the inconsistent work schedule, workouts have been hard to get in. Like I wanted to do one tonight but was called into work last minute. With me interviewing people and training, I have been getting an hour off a day not including travel time.. which gives me no time. I have noticed my stomach getting a little squishey which is so upsetting since I worked so hard to get my definition. Amazing how it takes a year of work to be undone in three months. So over it
09/06 143.8 it's time to get real. Face facts and change. I feel like I am always resetting but never sticking to it. I feel like I always say this needs to get better and change but somewhere in revert and nothing comes from it. What I am doing is not working anymore... This needs to change and I need to reset my mentality to hardwork rather than easy foing, maintain mentality. It's time to out the work and dedication in... It's time to get it together
09/07 no weight but a good day
09/08 145.8 so yesterday was good but then I had a very indulgent dessert. Like I said a couple of days ago.. I am always resetting but I can't seem to stick to it. I am not going to get down on myself, I did this to myself.. but I am spiraling out of control and that needs to end.. hi my name is Stephanie and I am an addict. I am over my addictions. Today I am deleting apps (Uber eats is the devil) and cleaning out my closet (or fridge) I have today off so I will be preplanning my weeks meals and getting rid of anything in my house that will tempt me. This has to be the end ... I know where this lack of disciple and control will lead me
09/097 -
@abowersgirl your comment on constant reset without actually seeing it through is so familar... Let's try again anyway 🤗
We should!!! I am will not be defeated2
