09/12 – 128.6 - Had my annual biometric screening at work yesterday and for the first time I was in the normal weight category (right in the middle of it) and had a normal body fat percentage. Now just waiting on the results from the blood screening.

9/10 166.1 I'm in a similar place I was last round on day 1. Getting ready to travel for work with my BF in tow for a few days. I must say NO to all sodium heavy things. At least I'm seeing my man. He hasn't had to travel for 3 weeks in a row!
9/11 165.9 Yeah!!! No BF after all. EDIT: The yeah is for the weight, not the missing BF.
9/12 No Scale I was happy to be down yesterday! I'm sad my BF isn't here with me but I woke up a little sick so maybe it's better he's not here I was under on calories yesterday and lifted weights last night. Going back tonight to ride the stationary bike. No scale until Saturday. I have a doctors appt tomorrow afternoon. I hope he can tell me something good about my leg. I miss walking so much.
9/13 No scale Went to the gym last night and did over 12 miles. I'm consistently doing 5-minute miles now. The location I went to has new stationary bikes that have scales built-in so no more put in your weight, it came up 165 pounds without my help. I hope that was accurate because it meant I wasn't retaining too much water! It was after work so not my regular weighing time but I was happy. I don't remember what the scale said the last time I was the docs but I think I'll be down around 20 or 25 pounds. I should be able to spend a lot of time with my BF this weekend AND my friend Mark that has been staying with me recovering since July 9th is going to try to leave on Monday. Fingers crossed ladies. I love him like a brother but he's a brother that's been living on my couch for 2 months. Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!
9/14 165.9 Played at the park with the baby for almost two hours! Dinner date with boyfriend. Great night
9/15 165.5 Easy Sunday. I went fishing this morning, then brunch with girlfriends. Afterward, one friend and I went to a couple of estate sales. Doc said no tear in my muscle, stay off of it another couple of weeks.
9/16 167.2 Went a little crazy last night, not a pound and a half worth so this should drop in a day or two. The only "workout" was a little housework yesterday. That and a lot of walking around at estate sales. I'm going to go ride the bike at the gym tonight. Maybe go a little extra. The doc was very happy with my weight loss and blood work numbers. He said just keep doing what I'm doing. He said no tear in my muscle, and to stay off of it another couple of weeks. He gave me some exercises to do and if staying off and the exercises don't help to come back. 10 -
Food -- Focus on healthy plant-based foods with some fish, chicken, & eggs. Avoid flour & added sugar. No snacking.
Exercise -- Aim for a 4-6 mile walk most days; weights either working in garden/house or at gym.
Weight -- I can control only what I eat & do, not what I weigh on a day-to-day basis. Long-term goals below.

Ugh. I can’t seem to control myself. Worse, it seems I’m indulging in willful self-sabotage. What’s up with that? And I’ve missed my walks as I paint the house. It burns calories but it’s not the same. Sigh.
09/11 - 163.6
I did better yesterday with snacking (as in, I didn’t), but a friend gave me a gorgeous eggplant, so eggplant parmigiana for dinner. Yummy, but cheesy and therefore salty and caloric. Salads today! I also want to say that, though I haven’t been responding much as I scurry off to paint my house happy colors, I do read through everyone’s posts. Thank you for the inspiration and sense of community. You 10-day challenge people are the best.

Okie dokie.

I haven't yet conquered my late-night snacking impulse. Aaack. I didn't do this for years, but have gotten back in the bad habit. I will try to get past this one night at a time. I'd knit in front of the tv but am sure my kitten would want to help! Maybe I can just sit on my hands. I'm thinking of giving intermittent fasting a try -- stop eating at 6 or so until breakfast. Who here is or has done this, and what do/did you think of the results?

Still painting the house, room by room.... Yesterday I painted the walk-in closet in my office/studio a gorgeous tangerine. I’m half tempted to move a desk in there and make it my writing closet! This afternoon I plan to start on the actual room — a gorgeous violet. Whee! I love color! Enjoy your day, everyone!
09/16 - 165.2
AAAAACCCCKKKKKKK! What? Has to be salt, though I’ve no idea from where the past few days. Harrumph!

09/10: 205.3 I had a high sodium day yesterday so expected! I'm hoping for a substantial drop in the next couple of days.
09/11: 203.3 HAAAA! I knew it! Stupid water weight skewing my goal last round. Oh well, I'm going to KILL IT this round!
09/12: 203.4 Well, I ate pizza for lunch and dinner yesterday sooooo I'll take it! LOL oops.
09/13: 203.4 I'm not doing too great with staying within my sodium goals but I'm definitely staying within my calories sooo whatever! It'll come off. In the meantime, I need to work on not consuming so much sodium!
09/14: 203 Yay! I went to the gym for the first time in 3 years last night! I'm super unfit so I just went on the treadmill for half another and did some of the circuit buuut I WENT! 😁 I'd like to drop another 0.5-1lb this round.
09/15: 202.9 I'm not obese anymore!! Just severely overweight 😂💪 Not sure how this happened lol. I didn't go over maintenance calories but definitely consumed a lot of sodium! I think I'm still retaining some water considering how tight my rings are today. Ate like crap today as well so I guess we will see what the scale says tomorrow lol.
09/16: 202.9 That could've been much worse! I had a really bad food day yesterday and went waaay over on my sodium. However, I did stay within my maintenance calories soooo should be fine. I did get lots of steps in though. Back on track today and heading to the gym once my son is in bed!

@matratazola Oh my! Being lost in a forest would have freaked me out, for sure! I know lots of people who use Map My Run/Walk/Ride - by Under Armor. They seem to have apps for many activities. It also pinpoints your GPS location.3

09/12/129.7/Met my calorie goal yesterday. Zumba plus walked 1.5 miles.
09/13/129.6/Met my calorie goal. Walked 3 miles.
09/14/129.2/Amazed I didn’t gain from salt and calories. It will probably catch up with me tomorrow. Over by an estimated 800 calories (dinner at a Mexican restaurant). 😕On a positive note, I took a yoga class. Will do some more serious calorie burning today.
09/15/127.9/If every day could be like yesterday, I’d be so healthy and fit! I had lots of free time, so I ran one mile, took a Zumba class, walked the dog and spent a few hours working in the yard. Also met my calorie goal.
09/16/127.3/Not as active as Saturday, but did some yard work and walked the dog one mile. Ate French fries for the first time all year, and they did not sit well. 😕 It seems my system can’t handle fried foods anymore since I avoid them so much. Met my calorie goal.

@SheilaBoneham We were using IF before we knew it had a name! During my WW journey in 2008-9 that was the way we ate. We pretty much continued that after moving to Vegas. DH goes to the gym early and eats after. I do my BPC in the morning and might have something around 11. Dinner is usually around 4-5. It has worked well for me. Because I stay very low carb, sometimes I just am not hungry.4

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 179.5 (-2.5) Very excited about this number!!! I guess increasing the calories burnt is paying off @anlaing016.
9/11 179 (.5) It appears that working out more is helping with the scale. I’ve added cardio to my weekly workouts and I’m starting to see a difference. I hope my energy levels can stay up and can keep it up.
9/12 178 (-1) The extra workouts are definitely paying off, weight is coming off and my clothes fit better.
9/13 177 (-1) Happy that it’s finally Friday, busy weekend ahead. Hopefully I can stay on track with the meals and workouts.
9/14 178.5 +1.5 Had 2 pieces of pizza and an açaí bowl yesterday so the number on the scale was no surprise. Woke up early today to get my cardio in just in case we don’t have time to go to the gym @anlaing016
9/15 177.5 (-1.0) Had a cheat DAY yesterday but went beast mode at the gym with my accountability partner. Feeling very tired, listening to my body and resting today.
9/16 179.5 +2 The weekend won!!!! Woke up early to hit the gym and I’m back on track.

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

9/16 122.0 I’m okay with this. The retreat was FANTASTIC! Good to have a weekend away with my gal pals although DH says I can never go away without him again. (That’s nice to hear after almost 50 years.) I got over 100% of my step goal each of the last 4 days. The a/c went out in my car which wasn’t a good thing since it was over 100 degrees everywhere.8 -

09/12 - DNW
After reaching a 75lb loss, personal and family stressors became way too exhausting back in June and I practically LEAPED off the wagon. Sad to say, but comfort food was my only solace w/ all my time and energy dedicated to everyone other than myself. After a summer of very little exercise and LOTS and lots of carb and sugar consumption for sanity's sake, I've regained 19 pounds ... all in my midsection, hips and thighs of course .... uggghhh.
09/13 - 217.8 That's exciting!

09/13 …..197.8 ….. After travel weigh-in following two days of travel, inactivity & restaurant food. Today will be a strict day & will include increasing the walking & exercise level back up to my goals. Yesterdays sad stats: 2369 Calories In / 2384 Calories burned. Approximately 197 Carbs. (ugg) 7218 Total Steps & 3.05 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 17 minutes last night which is a lot for me. Probably a carb crash again. Just like the song said, I’m “starting all over again”. No problem, I’m up for it! All caught up on posts & am proud of you all. So many great goals!
09/14 …..197.4 ….. I was hoping for a bigger drop but the Chinese food is hanging in there holding in the fluids, I guess. A great day yesterday but I missed my longer evening walk waiting on customers (expected ETA was 5:00 PM) who arrived at 11:30 PM instead. I did get in a small walk around my property, not straying too far from the office lest they pull in. Yesterday’s stats: 1434 Calories In / 2810 Calories burned. 28 Net Carbs. 17,258 Total Steps & 7.3 total miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 2 hours & 48 minutes. I woke up wide awake & refreshed. However, I hope to get more sleep tonight as I do think this hurts my weight loss & metabolism. 0.4 lb loss is almost a ½ pound so I’ll take it. Have a great Saturday everyone!
09/15 …..193.0 ….. There’s that whoosh & gone is the fluid retention from the Chinese Food. (I kept mum @petegrdriver and it finally came!) A very good day yesterday. Stats: 1374 Calories In / 2708 Calories burned. 32 Net Carbs. 17,074 Total Steps & 7.22 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 20 minutes. I took a neighborhood walk for 58 minutes and burned 342 extra calories. Cabin cleaning today.
09/16 …..191.0 ….. Best low weight in a while! So happy. I worked hard for this yesterday. Yesterday’s stats: 1022 Calories In / 3136 Calories Out. 14 Net Carbs. 22,193 Total Steps & 9.39 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 18 minutes. I moderately walked for 68 minutes, I did low-impact aerobics for 16 minutes & I danced for 17 minutes. Sample song “Sweet Child of Mine” by Guns & Roses Total extra calorie burn was 625 calories. I also cleaned cabins & did cabin laundry which was part of my overall calorie burn. I’m elated today.

Thanks so much Donna! So sorry just seeing this, but its great to be back! After only a week of getting back in the groove, I realized just how good this whole process is for me. I'm learning that even if I'm "off the wagon" the daily accountability is the best thing I can do for myself.
Journeying with awesome people like yourself is definitely a plus!

@debbie7373 Why did I eat multiple handfuls of cashews yesterday? They were delicious but I wasn't even hungry. I just thought they are nuts. Sure they have fat but it's healthy and they're not sweetened or salted. Just delicious. Usually, one handful will take care of my fix but yesterday one wasn't doing it.7

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.

09/11 210… huh?
09/12 208.4… a little better! I am working very hard right now. My store is busy, I am doing a lot of lifting. My body is very sore, but I will just keep doing what I should & hope for some good results

Day/Weight/BF%/Comment
09/10 197.8 (+1.0)/ 29.2%. Late weigh in after breakfast but it is what it is. I may have a number goal for this challenge. But my challenge to myself is to be better than I’ve been. With the help of a few people I believe I can!!!
09/11 197.0 (-.8) yesterday when I thought I didn’t have it in me. When I didn’t want to do anything. I went to the gym on no sleep. Then forced myself to do cardio later. Although when I finish these small accomplishments I feel great, I’m more proud I didn’t just say “it can wait till tomorrow”. Let’s see what today brings me. Although Wednesday’s usually put me in a good mood.
09/12 197.0 (+/- 0)/ 29.0% (-.2%) didn’t really feel like weighing in. Been a looonnngggg exhausting morning and this is the first time I’ve had to take a minute to myself and breathe. Weighed in (only because talked me into it) after being awake for 7 hours, eating a full breakfast, almost half a gallon of water and a workout. The number isn’t too bad for how my day is going so far.
09/13 198.0 (+1)/ 29.1% (+.1) been having a blah last few days. Didn’t even feel like tracking my dinner and snacks last night. This morning has been go, go, go. I’ve had water. I’ve been in the sun for a few hours. I’ve had breakfast and a snack. I’m heading to the gym now but my motivation level is super low
09/14 197.4 (-.6)/ 29.0% (-.1) didn’t eat the best stuff yesterday. But controlled my quantity. I worked out yesterday and felt really good. Hoping to keep this habit going.
09/15. -
09/16 198.0 (+.6)/ 29.0% (+/- 0) Weekend won this time around. But I enjoyed it with family and friends so couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Now time to get back on track. And new goal for this challenge is just to get back to my starting weight.

OH, I only found this thread today! And it ends in a few days, so I'll keep my eyes out for it, I'd like to play next time, I need some accountability! But, may I ask what "rounds" are? Is that how many times you've played? So each round would = 10 days? Just want to make sure I know what I'm doing when I join in with y'all.

09/10 194.6 (-0.2) not s great food day. Didn't measure or weigh my food and ended up eating crackers and cheese and meat sticks for dinner. Felt really off in general and unmotivated. Didn't do my workout. Trying to get back into routine tomorrow.
09/11 191.6 (-3.0) ok wow! That's quite a woosh! Got back to my workout program yesterday and food was a little on the low side. I've been drinking a tonne of water (like 150 oz.?) But I feel dehydrated this am. Strange. I was feeling kind of bloaty and puffy this am so didn't expect the drop but I'm glad because I was starting to get nervous that this wasn't going to work for me. (I know CICO is science and thus works for everyone, but the time it takes to see the trend and the bouncing weight levels makes me think it's not working and then I get sloppy and then it really doesn't work. Lol)
09/12 193 (+1.4). Ugh always with the up and down! 18K steps and workout yesterday. Was super hungry so ate most of my exercise calories back.
09/13 192.4 (-0.6) wine and chips and dessert after dinner last night. Still a small deficit but not much of one. Back to healthier choices today.
09/14 193.8 (1.4) ok I keep saying I'm going to clean up my food but then I just.... don't? And then complain when I don't lose? Lol. Last night wad wings, poutine, wine, chips. I DID do my workout though so there's that.
09/15 194 (+0.2)
09/16 196 (+2) went to dr prescribed metabolic clinic today (aka fat camp for grownups). Found out my bf% is 42% !! Clinic is not private but government run by doctors with specialized degrees in nutrition and obesity science. Focus seems to be on hormones that are responsible for fat storage (insulin and cortisol ) and using plans that regulate those levels and encourage fat loss. Interestingly, when I asked about CICO, the response was that it's a bit of an outdated approach and neglects the factors that complicate weight loss. (My wording) I pointed out that eating to their plan would by nature put a person with a calorie limit so it would still fit CiCO but essentially it's the same thing I always think which is that while weight loss is the simple CICO formula, nutrition and body biochemistry (?) is not so simple and what we eat and the macros therein affect us in many ways. And thus adjusting those levels can contribute to function and health (and weight loss) in many ways. Soap box rant over. I'm going to follow their plan since it's fairly close to my current approach anyhow and it gives me free access to fancy measurement metrics every two weeks and I'm a data nerd.

Round 89 – September 10 to 19
Female, 5’, 66 years. Goals – finish calorie log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW – 162.2, GW – 160.8, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Day/Weight/Comment
09/10 – 161.8 – Happy to see a 161 this morning. Not much exercise yesterday, raining again so painted the trim in my office. Have been good about snacking though – I’ve got a new cross stitch project on the go that I’m super excited to do and have to have clean hands so stitching has been winning out over snacking.
09/11 – 162 – Sun is finally out so it will be a working outside day. Tracked all cals. yesterday but no exercise. No LNS though.
09/12 – 162 – Warm up exercises, 3 hrs. outside work, no LNS but did not log all.
09/13 – 162 – No indoor exercise but several hours outside, no LNS and did not log but kept cals reasonable.
09/14 – 162.2
09/15 – 161.4
09/16 – 161.6 – Not such a great day eating wise yesterday. A little LNS – hungry and had a bit of a headache. Today am being careful with tracking and hoping to make it to my goal for the round or close.

Day/Weight/Comment:
09/10:209.8 Hardly drank any water yesterday and hardly drank any water today. I ate 2 snacks yesterday evening and even though I had the calories for the 2nd snack I wasn't hungry and I only ate it because I had the calories...need to work on that.
09/11:209.4 Was busy at work again and didn't drink as much water as I should have. Went out to lunch today and met with my strength coach.
09/12:208.5 Had a great workout yesterday, but the dog woke me up early this morning so sleep wasn't great. It was a busy week in court this week, so I left work early today. I'm going to take the dog on a short hike this afternoon as it looks like this will be the last sunny day for awhile.
09/13:208.7 Even though I had another night of horrible sleep, I still went to the gym at 6 this morning. Movie and dinner tonight, so I wanted to make sure I got my workout in this morning.
09/14:208.1 Went out to dinner last night and going out to a movie today. I'm kind of surprised about the drop in weight today because I thought there would be instant water retention from dinner last night, and the fact that I didn't drink much water yeseterday, but it could also show up on the scale tomorow. Goal is to get water in today.
09/15:209.2 Uptick is due to movie popcorn and lack of water. Strength coach today. It will be raining all day so plan is to watch football and do things around the house including finish putting up pictures over the fireplace.
09/16: 208.5 There goes some of the water weight. My husband started up again on MFP about three weeks ago, he hasn't weighed himself since he started, and this morning he weighed himself and realized that he had lost 15lbs! He also started weight training with his PT. I am very excited for him.

Hi everyone. I am hoping to get back on track this round. The last 3 rounds have not been my best and I have just been maintaining around the same 5 pounds or so. My birthday and TOM will happen in this round so I am expecting pretty much the same results, but hopefully I can get my healthy/low calorie eating skills back on track. Not really looking to lose seeing as I will probably stall for 5-6 days and have 2 restaurant meals out for my bday. Thought about not posting at all this round, but then I really would go off the deep end and I don't want that to happen. So I am staying here, posting, and being accountable for my actions.
Round 84: 145.9 - 143.7 Avg 144.28
Round 85: 143.7 - 139.6 Avg 142.35
Round 86: 139.6 - 148.2 Avg 144.08 my FIL passed away this round
Round 87: 148.2 - 143.6 Avg 143.73
Round 88: 143.6 - 147.0 Avg 145.84 In Texas most of this round dealing with FIL stuff
09/10 - 146.5 up a bit more than I expected this morning, but not mad about it. When I started this in July of 2018 at almost 180 pounds, one of my only goals was to be in a healthy BMI and to feel better about myself when I turned 40. I have 5 amazing kids (ages 20 to11 years old), a wonderful husband, and have so much to be thankful for in my life, but I did not like what I saw in the mirror a year ago. I have not reached my ultimate goal of 135 (which has been changed multiple times in the last couple of months), but am very happy with my progress so far. I have lost around 35 pounds and am currently working on my last 10. Maybe I will be there for my 41st birthday next year, lol. Thank you everybody who has supported me and helped me along the way with my good and bad days. Happy 40th bday to me!!!!
09/11 - 143.8 this is fro dehydration and way to much alcohol. Did have a really good birthday though. Should be up tomorrow I am assuming.
09/12 - 145.8 I figured plus we went out last night for dinner and our reservation was originally at 7:30, but did not get seated until 8:30. So late dinner plus 2 margaritas waiting to be seated and 2 beers with dinner. Officially done with my break and back on the wagon.
09/13 - 143.8 Had a good day yesterday and I am getting back on track. My TOM should be here any day so I am figuring I will stall, but as long as I can get back into the groove of things and then I can shake things up next round. A little over a month on my "diet break" and I am only a couple of pounds up from where I was so I am not mad at all.
09/14 - 143.2 I’ll take this. I’m hoping to have another pound or so of water weight. Hopefully I can stay on track today. The weekends are a killer for me.
09/15 - 144.8 stayed on track, but may have been a little more sodium than normal. Sunday’s are my hardest day of the week. Let’s see how it goes.
09/16 - 146.3 DARN-IT! I was doing so well, lol. The chips and dip in my fridge got to me yesterday. I almost beat the craving, but I eventually gave in. TOM should be arriving today to, so this may be a little bit from that to. 3 more days to get back down to 143 or maybe even 142. Crock pot chicken tacos and beans for dinner tonight, so should be able to stay on track.

I have sit out the last round after doing several. I have a new focus and new goals. I look forward to getting back on track and making some good progress.

Goal this round -2 lbs; goal wt for 1-1-20= 255
Day/Weight/Comment
09/10 - 270.5 considering i had a pretty loose eating labor day weekend, I'm not to discouraged but more determined to drop a couple of pounds.
09/11 - 270.4 Staying pretty consistent, need to get some workout time in and move the needle down a bit.
09/12 - 269.8
09/13 - 268.0 probably dropped some water weight plus had not eaten in several hours when I weighed in. My goal is to keep the focus over the weekend which will be difficult because we are out of town and not cooking our own food. But it comes down to making good choices, its my call.
09/14 - no weigh in traveling
09/15 - no weigh in traveling
09/16 - 268.7 after a busy weekend away from home, eating out, etc, I will take this weigh in and be happy.

Goals this round: drop 2 lbs
09/10: 204.2! Coming down again from my frustrating jump up at the end of last round. Hopefully releasing water weight. Trying to stick well to my food and exercise goals and trying to drink lots of water to reduce water retention. IDK if that's actually true or not, but I remember hearing somewhere that drinking more keeps you from holding on to water weight as much. Had a good day of work today, hoping to be more productive in that sphere as well. Was letting depression get the better of me the past couple weeks and my productivity definitely took a toll.
09/11: 205... Well, I just don't know why. Had almost no appetite so did not overeat yesterday at all and yet here we are with a bump. Nothing to do but push forward... Keep sticking to it and hope for some progress. I knew losing weight with PCOS is tough so I just need to be tougher.
09/12: 203.2! Idk why yesterday I was so high and today I'm so low, but a win is a win, so I'll take it! Going to ride the wave of progress today and get some good work done, exercise hard and stick to my food goals. I made a keto pizza last night with almond flour fathead dough and it was pretty decent. I hope its leftovers make a nice lunch
09/13: 203.2! Wahoo! Staying level! Got some intense exercise in and did a good job of sticking to my food goals. Didn't get a lot of work done, had to take a half day to get to spend some time w my partner before he leaves for 10 days this evening. We played pool so that's been fun to learn
09/14: 202.8! Omygosh! So happy 😊 went for a really long kayak and saw loads of otters and seals. My first time seeing otters, so amazing. Was hard to focus my camera on them with the strong winds blowing me away. Had a great time and ate very healthy before and after.
09/15: 202.2!! Wow! Did lots of chores. Trimmed my hedges and now my forearms are ready to explode. Eating healthy and trying to be productive with chores today
09/16: 202! Really happy I havent had a pop up yet. Fingers crossed I stay down. Had an intense workout and got lots of work done. One of those days where I was so busy working in the lab, I forgot to decontaminate and go eat/drink/take any break whatsoever. Will try to drink a lot on my commute home and eat a hearty dinner when I get home to make up for the lack of food today

10: 222.6
11: 221.8 Still going strong with my eating choices. Haven't gotten back to exercising yet. I thought I'd start a couple days ago, but I think I need to start the day my kids go to their dad's. Maybe I can get a few days in to restart the habit while I don't have so much other stuff to juggle.
12: 223.8 YIKES!! I expected a gain, but maybe not that much. It's all good though. It'll be down again within a few days. I enjoyed some thin crust veggie pizza at my daughter's soccer game. I didn't overeat, but it was definitely a calorie bomb.
13: DNW Didn't sleep much last night. Not feeling so hot today, even with a 3+ hour nap. Forgot to weigh before I ate.
14: 221.7 Feeling better today. Wasn't about to eat much yesterday. Plus side...the pizza weight is gone. 😉
