Round 92, round 2 for me
Round 91: -4.2lb loss
10/09: 90.8 lbs
Hoping to lose a tiny bit more but may switch mid challenge to maintenance or gain depending on results.
Day/weight/comment:
10/10: 91.4 lbs
10/11: 91.6 lbs
10/12: 91.6 lbs
10/13: 91.2 lbs (+0.4 from start) At least it's going down again though.
10/14: 91.2 lbs at least its holding steady. Better than gain.
10/15: 90.2 lbs (-0.6 from start of challenge)
finally! An indication of some loss this round!! (: idk how that happened since I ate a ton yesterday at the thanksgiving party and afterwards too and didn't workout at all the last 2 days but I'll take it! Resuming normal gym schedule & normal healthy eating routines again. Hope for a bit more loss to end this round out well (:

I only include the last 5 rounds, but have been doing these challenges since round 58. Still trying to get into the 130's. It is proving to be a lot tougher than I ever imagined, but I am going to continue trying. Maybe we will do it this next 10 days!
Goal: No weight higher than 144.9 and see 140/141 at least 50% of the time on the scale.
Round 87: 148.2 - 143.6 down 4.6 Avg 143.73
Round 88: 143.6 - 147.0 up 3.4 Avg 145.84
Round 89: 147.0 - 143.7 down3.3 Avg 144.99
Round 90: 143.7 - 140.9 down 2.8 Avg 142.68
Round 91: 140.9 - 143.6 up 2.7 Avg 143.62
10/10 - 142.9 I am slightly annoyed this am. I have been really good, even through my 3 day weekend. I should be lower than this. I guess I will just keep going and hopefully I see a whoosh sometime in the near future. It seems like I can not get past 142/143 for the life of me. My maintenance is within 5 pounds of where I am today, but at the rate I am going I may not be there till next year, lol. Maybe tomorrow I will see a nice drop, I am on track for today and not going to self sabotage. This is just the way it goes sometimes.
10/11 - 141.4 Nice little drop. My lowest last week was 141.5 for 2 days and 140.9 for 3 days the week before that, so maybe I can hold onto it this time. Really going to try and work hard this weekend. My daughter is having her wisdom teeth out this morning and then I have to work this afternoon, so it's just going to be one of those days. No fast food! No fast food! That will be my goal today.
10/12 - 142.3 I’m ok with this. Had a couple of drinks last night with dinner, but food was on point. So this should go back down as long as I stay on track today. The weekends are my downfall. I only ate 310 calories all day yesterday until dinner because I knew I was going to have a couple of drinks with our meal. So I should have still been within my limits.
10/13 - 143.6 This is the rest of last night I guess. Will try and stay on track this weekend. Making myself be really good the rest of the month to lose these last couple of pounds.
10/14 - 142.8 Not bad for a Monday weigh-in. My best one so far. Halfway through this round and so far I am feeling really good about my progress. I have pretty much stayed the same and not had any crazy fluctuations. We will see what happens the next couple of days. I really am expecting a good loss soon.
10/15 - 142.3 Was under calories again. Having some TMI issues this morning, so maybe that's why I am stalling. I have been working really hard to see a nice drop the last couple of weeks, but have just been stuck within the same couple of pounds. I miss the days where I would get a 1 or 2 pound drop in a 10 day challenge. Now it seems like it is a couple of ounces here and there. Granted that was 40 pounds ago, but a nice big whoosh would be amazing. Oh well, I guess I should be happy that I am so close to my goal weight and just keep working at it. Maybe tomorrow I will see a new low.

10/10 195.6 (+.6)/ 28.8% (+.1%) ate some feelings yesterday. No motivation or energy to work out today. It is what it is.
10/11 195.6 (+/-0) / 28.8% (+/- 0%) not what I expected for a pretty horrible dinner and dessert last night. But I’ll take it.
10/12 195.5 (-.1) / 28.7% (-.1%) thought I had a good day yesterday. Apparently not good enough. Ate good, worked out good, stayed away from sweets especially late at night. Guess we’ll see what tomorrow brings from today.
10/13 didn’t weigh in today.
10/14 195.8 (+.3) / 28.8% (+.1%) not too bad did the type of weekend I had
10/15 195.6 (-.2) / 28.7% (-.1%) been an interesting long weekend. Didn’t hit the gym at all the past few days (which is super unusual for me) But I’ll take this number. Well see how this week pans out to close out this challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10-204.2:Yay!!! So excited about this loss! I'm trying not to be so strict with my food because it's driving me crazy. I said screw it yesterday and had some chips. My breakfast and lunch are always good and for dinner I had chicken fajitas with a little avocado and sour cream. Had this all home made and didn't add any bread to it. My water game still isn't where I want it to be, but I'm working on it. I did get in the gym last night
And it's been getting easier to go. Hardest part for me is how tired I feel after work. I won't be home until late tonight, so not sure if I'll go, but I will be getting a lot of walking in.
10/11-204.2: Annoyed, but also happy it's not going up. I had to leave work a little early yesterday to go to the Lotto office (I won $1,000 on a scratcher! ) and from there I decided to stop by the Outlets since it was in the area. I walked A LOT at the mall. And I was also so hungry (not good) and had a sample of bourbon chicken at the food court which sold me on getting a plate. I ate a little and felt full so packed the rest and kept walking. I got an iced water and headed home, but got hungry again and started munching on my leftovers. Was hoping to be down at least a baby bit, come on scale make it an even 204 dammit >:(
I'm just nervous. Driving out to see my friend tomorrow and she has no filter with food anymore and I don't want to go down that rabbit hole again. And it's like if you do eat less and try to be healthy they question you and guilt trip you into "come on lets have pizza and wine and chips and chocolate." Or maybe it's just my friends that are sucky like that. Kind of why I've been losing a lot of friends lately. You start to see their true colors. Anyways, happy Friday!!
10/12-205: Ugh! I did this to myself. I brought Armenian pizza to work for everyone. It's not as heavy as regular pizza, think of like a tortilla with some ground beef and cut up veggies on it and it's thing. I'm mad at myself because I was hungry and caved in and had 3
It was Friday night so I went out with my parents and had half a margarita and some chips and salsa. I didn't have much, but still.
10/13-DNW Was in Irvine spending the night at my friends so didn't get home until the afternoon. Made the mistake of having pancakes and has browns with my sausage and bacon at Dennys. I'm blaming the hormones right now.
10/14-206.4: I thought I had ditched 206, but here I am >:( More pissed at myself. I saw my friend over the weekend and we munched, but I still did pretty good. Last night I went to Souplantation and kinda let loose. Nothing too wild, but I should have had more salads and no pasta or baked potato. Also doesn't help it's been a few days since I last went to the gym.
10/15-206.2: Ugh it's down, but not by much
Kind of like a slap in the face by my scale. Think because it's my TOM I'm bloated and all over the place. Trying to just take it easy these next couple days. I didn't go to the gym last night because I felt really nauseated at work and it just didn't go away. Not sure if it's from something I ate or what, but just tried laying in bed instead. Seeing my bf tonight and mad at myself for forgetting to grab my scale. I know I sound kookoochoo but his scale sucks and I don't trust it and I like just having an idea of where I'm at each day ESPECIALLY after hanging out with him. We will most likely go to the gym together tonight and he has been trying to get me back on track.

10/10: 91.4 lbs
10/11: 91.6 lbs
10/12: 91.6 lbs
10/13: 91.2 lbs (+0.4 from start) At least it's going down again though.
10/14: 91.2 lbs at least its holding steady. Better than gain.
10/15: 90.2 lbs (-0.6 from start of challenge) ...(89.8lbs, updated weight, -1lb loss this round so far)
finally! An indication of some loss this round!! (: idk how that happened since I ate a ton yesterday at the thanksgiving party and afterwards too and didn't workout at all the last 2 days but I'll take it! Resuming normal gym schedule & normal healthy eating routines again. Hope for a bit more loss to end this round out well (:

***10/15: was 90.2 lbs an hour or so ago, but then weighed myself again and it said 89.8 lbs. So thts awesome (: means I'm down 1lb from start of this round! 😊 happy!! Feels like it's a small milestone, first weigh in that ended up in kinda a different bracket, which would be first one under 90 lbs. Anyways off to the gym to get back into my routine again after no gym the last two days. 💪😍💗***
We all are working hella hard & deserve to be happy in our amazing bodies. Think of all they do for us, allowing us to be able to do the workouts we're passionate about.

R91 SW: 211.0 ~ EW: 220.1 (+9.1)
R92 SW: 219.4 ~ EW:
THE PLAN: (no matter what) is to stretch/rebound daily, weight conditioning (including body weight exercises) 4-7/10 days, Walking 30+ mins 5-8/10 days, prepare most meals 6-8/10 and try to keep mixing it up! I need to remember it's a lifestyle not a diet, and get back to creating new habits.
10/10 ~ 219.4 - Checked all the boxes, w/ total 85 mins exercise / 896 cals burned
10/11 ~ 217.2 - 1st woosh in weeks! (s/r, walking and belly work; 47 mins / 432 cals)
10/12 ~ 215.9 - feeling lazy after late night; gonna have to push not to sit on my assets all day.
10/13 ~ 215.6 - REST DAY. Checked all the boxes yesterday (115 m / 781 cals), but was too sore to do anything other than stretch today. Meeting friends later and will try to make good choices, but definitely having @ least one glass of wine. Have a great week all!
10/14 ~ 216.2 - dinner cancelled last night so got some exercise (50 mins / 314 cals) and prepared all my meals. However in lieu of alcohol, ruined it w/ too many chips and chocolate LNS watching the last 3 Power episodes!!!!
Got in a great 50min HIIT workout and plenty of movement today to make up for it though!
10/15 ~ 215.9 - was hoping for a bigger drop, but been eating higher amounts of sugar than usual past few days ... totally feel like I'm PMSing but w/out the flow.

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.

10/15 129.4 Yesterday was more or less my regular eating plan, and I'm sure it may take up to a week to get back down to the middle of my maintenance range. As fun as it was to indulge on vacation, I'm glad to be back to my routine.

Female, 57 yy, 4'11''

Goals for 10 day Challenge: lose 1.6 pounds (reach 116).
Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 116.8 Nice - drop at the start! Of course, seems that happens a lot and then it bounces back up and I struggle to get back to the start lol! Can’t complain as getting closer to initial goal weight! Strength/weights with trainer and cardio today (step class had a new instructor!), and pasta for dinner tonight - smoked eggplant/peppers with cavatappi and smoked mozzarella. Need to go test wines for a work function after dinner so banked calories so that the wine is ok a al IIFIYM.
10/11 118 Not surprised! Weight training + cardio + pasta + wine (tasting + 1.5 glasses and additional food as I was hungry) likely all led to some water retention and my weight loss is not linear at all. I have decided that I really need to increase my calories above 1400 to closer to 1600 so that I am losing at a slower rate (1.34lb current to .5lb) for the last 12 pounds here. I have been shooting for under 1200-1300 as I usually eat lunch out or may not have verified calorie data, but based on realized losses looks like tracking is pretty accurate so can get closer to target. Other reasons: 1) With lifting this last week, I have been hungrier, so listening to my body cues. 2) Not sure if losing slower ultimately preserves more muscle mass (given that my bf is around 28-29%), but more protein with the increased calories may help build more muscle mass and maybe BMR will not drop as much (getting BMR retested in November) plus more carbs can help fuel cardio (still in a deficit though) 3) help with skin adopting to fat loss - most of the fat left is on my lower belly and hips. After a twin pregnancy have lots of stretched out lower belly skin so maybe with a slower loss rate won;t have a baggy tummy (given age may not be avoidable) Building muscle could help fill out some of the space lost to fat. Will monitor and tweak as needed [went over 1600 last night, so hoping that is primarily water or muscle lol]
NSV: Can now wear a pair of small pants that I bought on sale when I was losing weight after the twins were born, but never got weight all the way down to fit! And they are almost too big!
10/12 117.8 Going back down even with the increase in calories!!! Rest day today! Body needs it after workouts this week and have to spend a good part of today driving to the coast and back to move the boat from the boatyard to the marina. Unfortunately won;t have time to stay and sail, so activity level will be low (sorry Apple Watch Challenge team #coreslight, but will be back at full speed tomorrow!) Hopefully some walking and core work later on just to close all my rings!
10/13 118.4 Effects of being in the car for lots of yesterday? New calorie regime? In any case not out of the norm… Did Xtrain this morning and increased power to rate ratio from previous work, so nice to see that as weight is going down. (Watts are increasing as well, which is even better) Strength workout late afternoon - new PR on deadlift of 105 lbs and was able to do 5 reps at 70 lbs on bench-press.
10/14 116.4 Whoosh! New low!!! Now to see if that will hang around until the end of the round :-) Liking the new calorie levels, but need to make sure that I eat more in the morning and have pre-planned snacks for work ! Spin class tonight for cardio.
10/15 116.4 Held it! Morning was strength training with trainer, and followed up with 30 minutes of HIIT on spin bike with one minute intervals of all out at peak heart rate, followed by up to a minute recovery until HR dropped to 65% of max. Went back for evening Interval hour class so more cardio and interval exercises with medicine ball - great workout! Did much better with spacing out snacks and meals today, with increase of protein throughout the day to help strength training. Starting zig-zag on calories so total was up today for strength training.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 -181.4 – Halfway to the top of my goal range! That’s just the motivation I need this round as work demands ramp up and it gets harder to fit in the things I need to do to stay on track. Student conferences ate up most of my time today, but I fixed a few quick meals to stay within my calorie limits.
10/11 – 180.8 – Nice to see a drop going into the weekend. Heading off for a quiet weekend of hiking and wineries with my husband. Leaving my computer at home and bringing a novel from my long TBR list.
10/12 – DNW – Watkins Glen, NY. Walked down the North Ridge (Indian Trail) and up the 832 steps of the Gorge Trail in light rain, carrying a daypack, without much difficulty. Three years ago, I was getting winded just walking up to my third-floor classrooms! I think I earned my winery lunch 😊
10/13 – DNW – Gorgeous autumn day! Got up early to hit the Gorge Trail again before the crowds. Cut over after the waterfalls and looped down on the South Ridge. After lunch (and another winery), we walked the Ravine and Gorge Trails in the Finger Lakes National Forest. No big waterfalls, but we had the trails virtually to ourselves. Worked up an appetite – I’m sure I ate (and drank) back all my exercise calories!
10/14 – DNW – Travel day. Up before dawn to get back in time for my afternoon class. Feeling a little stiff, but my DH drove most of the way and I enjoyed watching the sunrise over the misty countryside. Feeling restored!
10/15 – 185.0 – Whoa! That’s some bounce! Salt? Alcohol? Inflamation? Probably some of each, plus eating over my calorie allowance for a few days. Back on track this morning to turn this around. Catching up on posts and grading as well. NSV: wearing my tees tucked in without feeling self-conscious 😊

Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:
10/10 -156.8, core 09/30 ok, 10,644 steps, 1220 cal I'm looking forward to the winter months, more soups and less ice cream lol I'm going to try and fit in a run today. It's one of those days where I have to duplicate myself to be at several places at once so I've packed a lunch and planned my meals.. now I just have to stick to the plan, that's the hardest part !
10/11 - 157.6 (+0.8) 7943 steps, calories .. to many
Yesterday I didn't manage to stick to the plan in the end, but that's just my bad. My kid was sick, there's a tummy bug going around school, so I left work early and we did home schooling instead. Then I had a landlord meeting in the evening so I didn't manage to get my run done. Today I'm going to the gym but this weekend is going to be another gain I think. There's too much going on to be organised. I'll just try and limit the damage by avoiding deserts and sweet stuff. Also I've managed to plan physical activities as well, Saturday morning 2h badminton with my daughter and Sunday gym or a quick run (if I'm not too tired). After this weekend I'm planning on taking a slower pace and blocking some "me time" over the weekends.
10/12 157.6 (0.0) 14.735 steps, core 11/30 done, W7R3 done. I ran 28 minutes straight yesterday!! 1st times since my diagnostic, 10 years ago, that I've managed to do that! So chuffed! I also did a 20 minute workout on the machines at the gym before hand. Unfortunately I treated myself to my 1st packet of crisps since starting this rounds so the weight didn't go down lol Today I have 2 hrs badminton with my daughter this morning, it's a fun activity and not competitive at all, but it keeps us moving for two hours, then I'm driving straight to a conference so I need to get some food somewhere otherwise I"ll end up pigging out on all the cakes and goodies. Back home late, that'll be another challenge not to eat the first thing in the fridge...
10/13 156.8 (-0.8) 9.545 steps 1309 cal, core 11/30, badminton 2hrs, then had food in the car to eat between various activities so I managed to stay on track.
10/14 155.8 (-1.0lbs) 5.642 step 1412 cal, core 12/30 Very surprised at this loss especially after a weekend I'll probably put some back on tomorrow but in the meantime I'm going to enjoy it 
I'm getting close to my healthy BMI. I'd really like to get into the lower BMI numbers for my joints and because there's a lot of heart disease in my family. I'm going to try and cut salt as well, that's going to be hard!
10/15 157 (+1.2); 16,234 steps, 1303 cal, Core challenge rest day, 3km treadmill + 15mins elliptical. No idea where that gain came from, I did expect a little increase but having such an active day I though it would be ok. On the other hand my clothes are getting baggy and my general body shape is much improved so I'm not too worried. Anyway today I'm going to watch my calories and salt. I've planned an hour walk with a friend during my lunch hour.
10/16 155.8 (-1.2) 13,533 steps, 1251 cal, core 14/30, so back down we go, I'm not one to complain lol I'm off most of the day for my First Aid refresher course. I'll try and fit in some gym time as well this afternoon. I haven't planned my meals which might be a problem though.

10/10: 297.5 lbs (-0.6) … Feeling good, had a great run this morning. 41 minutes of running straight with no walk breaks, a record for me. (Couch to 5k Week 8 Day 3 completed).
10/11: 301.1 lbs (+3.6) … oof. I blame dinner out. Was in budget, but it was more food (and more carbs) than I usually eat.
10/12: 299.2 lbs (-1.9) … down a bit again. Spent 5 hours today taking care of leaves in the yard. I’m sure I burned a lot of calories.
10/13: 298.1 lbs (-1.1) … down a bit more. Sore from yesterday, I took it pretty easy.
10/14: 299.0 lbs (+0.9) … up a little. Really not making any progress weight-wise this round. Maybe that’ll change in the last leg. I’ve been putting off my run due to soreness from Saturday’s yardwork. I’ll get out there and do it tomorrow morning.
10/15: 295.9 lbs (-3.1) … whee. A new low, by a bit over a pound. This puts me just below my goal for the round, but who knows if I’ll be able to hold onto it. I’m kind of cheating, as about a pound of that was from giving blood yesterday. Completed Couch to 5k Week 9 Day 1 this morning, running 3 miles.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 - 68,7 - DOMS today. Feeling fresh and happy. I am going to bump up my cals by 100 because that would reflect what I want to achieve in the long run a bit better. I am planning on having a chill day today and just walking for 1 hour.
10/11 - 68,8 - Still retaining water I think. This is what I find most difficult to mindfully deal with. But you get used to it as time goes on and as your mindset shifts... And a big part of looking at it 10 days’ at a time, and seeing the difference round after round IS what made me join in the first place. Great, I’m back on a mindful track :-)
10/12 - 68,5 - had a last minute dinner invite yesterday, ate pretty well throughout the day and worked out. Everything’s fine with me :-) on track and happy :-)
10/13 - 68,3 - It’s the weekend and I am out and about. Walked 3 hours yesterday. This loss was to be expected :-) Still trying to find a calorie target to match a loss of 250gr, but the unpredicted walks make it hard to do so. I think after 30 days of data I will have a bigger picture perspective and see what correlates and what doesn’t.
10/14 - 68,0 - whoop whoop. I didn’t walk nor had any workout yesterday, ate well, still hiking up the calories slowly and trying to find balance with general activity. Worked out and walked today.
10/15 - 68,1 - good insight into the small up and downs. Ate a lot more than usual yesterday to make up for the day’s activity. And I was still hungry after my meals. I think I am low on veggies and my macros were not as balanced. So today grocery shop and bulking up my meals with more veggies and fats mmmhhhh....(Carbs and protein are on point - i.e. high :-))
10/16 - 67,9 - alright! Gotta up the calories from now on :-) love this new approach I have. It’s definitely because things are going where I want them to, and I am sure there will be bad and hard times along the way but right now, I am enjoying it fully :-) + worked out today9 -

Hi.. I'm in again.
Starting weight: 139.25lbs.
Aim for this round. To see 137 on the scales....
Good luck everyone!!
10th Oct: 139.25. Same as yesterday. Happy enough with that. 16K steps and within calories. Piloxing tonight and have all my food pre planned.
11th Oct: 139.75. Totally deserve this increase. Had a great day in work but got him and binged. Involving croissants, bread and jam and fist fulls of roasted peanuts. Im sure there were other things too that I blocked out. It would have been SO easy to go to bed feeling sorry for myself but I pulled myself together and went to piloxing and finished the day on 16k steps. So overall, I cant be too mad at todays weigh in!
12th Oct:138.25. Don't know where this came from. Went out for Indian food and to a play last night and had wine.
13th Oct:141.5. There we go, there's the increase from Friday night.
14th Oct: 141.75. Back on a mission today. Aim to drink loads of water and flush all this Indian food and wine out of me! Piloxing classes not going ahead for this week so it'll be extra challenging to get my steps in.
15th Oct: 140.25. Delighted with this drop. Good day yesterday. 16k steps. Good day planned for today too. Not sure if I'll meet my goal of seeing 137 on the scales this round though.
16th Oct: 138. Thrilled with this drop. Got 12k steps in. Had a funny belly but still ate my 1700 calories. 3 more days to try meet my goal of seeing 137 on the scales!

16th Oct- 151 if I could end this round staying at 151 I’d be happy. Logged 5 days in a row of good workouts. I know I should shave off a few calories each day but I’m listening to my hungry body. I’m still eating at or below my calorie goal but it’s set for a slow loss. Sigh, hoping I’ll be less hungry soon!

My plan for R92 is to remain focused, log and track properly and see a loss of 1-2lb....
Our kitchen is coming out this weekend as our new open plan space (lounge, kitchen and dining room) needs to be completely emptied out in preparation for the floor being laid and the new kitchen being delivered so next week will be a challenge food wise but I have a plan ...... Just need to stick to it!
Start Weight 137.9lb
10/10 - 138.9lb (+1.0lb) Was about 100 calories over yesterday but it was salty popcorn so this is basically just water retention and nothing more. Hubby away for a few days and my youngest wanted to sit and watch something on TV together and decided to bring in a bowl of popcorn to snuggle up with - how can anyone resist that offer! Enjoyed the popcorn obviously but no where near as much as the hour spent snuggled on the sofa with my daughter
Some days life is sssooo good 
10/11 - DNW

10/13 - 138.2lb (-0.7lb)
10/14 - 137.8lb (-0.4lb) Very happy with this after a weekend. Although not a normal weekend. Went to the gym Saturday morning while the girls were at cheerleading practice, then spent the rest of the weekend emptying out the kitchen cupboards and getting rid of all the units ready for the floor this week. Meant I was pretty active all weekend and no big family roast last night. Kitchen-less now - new one gets delivered next Tuesday but still then has to be fitted but I should have my oven back up and running by the weekend
So slow cooker chilli prepped for tonight with microwave rice ......... Going to be tough to stay on plan this week but my weigh in this morning keeps my motivation up!
Have a great week
10/15 - 137.3lb (-0.5lb) Happy with this mornings drop. Food planned and prepped for today around the floor laying and gym session tonight so should be another good day
10/16 - 136.8lb (-0.5lb) Same again and very happy Final screed floor covering being laid today so still no kitchen so we are eating out tonight to give us a night off of preparing meals on a single chopping board and washing up in the bathroom sink
Intention is there to stick to plan (with the steak, jacket potato and salad bar option and avoiding the chips and desserts) but meals out are generally higher in salt and I will probably have a glass of wine. Being good all day and having light meals to conteract this as far as I can. Have a good day everyone

Goal: Improve Sleep - duration of 7hrs and score above 80.
10/10 182.8lbs 5h12m/69(nice)/10:18pm - better, but somehow more tired. 😴 This will be my first day back at the gym in a week.... pray for ya girl. 🙏
10/11 183.2lbs 5h24m/62/10:52pm - GREAT to be back at the gym! Probably recovering some of the water weight lost - I am noticing the difference. Now, if I can just get a good night of sleep, but the congestion continues to create challenges. Feel so much better, tho!
10/12 182.9lbs 5h51m/73/11:38pm - too much booked and won't be able to get to the gym, but I am SO thankful to have made it to the weekend! A chance to rest a least a little more. 🤧
10/13 180.8 lbs 7h25m/50/10:00pm - some sleep interrupted by bouts of coughing. So, that weight... yeah, I was like that can't be right. Moved the scale in case it was not level & got an even lower weight. Probably water, but I am working SO hard to recover my hydration, so I don't really get it. It is what it is... and I move on. Eating out twice today, with booze, so we shall see... lol
10/14 180.6lbs 6h48m/71/10:22pm... MUCH better sleep, but still interrupted by all the extra water... I am thirsty 24/7. Feeling like I'm finally kicking this! Training this am - will be the test.
10/15 182.3lbs 7h19m/79/9:26pm - feels like my hydration is coming back. Had a good workout yesterday and a mostly decent night of sleep. Appetite is back, too. 😎
10/16 182.2lbs 5h59m/76/11:02pm - busy day, feeling better but need to get back to my regular eating. Sleep is improving but still the potty break interruptions - lol. COMBAT TONIGHT!

Round 90: 5¾lbs (19st 1lb)
Round 91: 7½lbs (18st 7½lb)
ROUND 92
Goal: 5lb loss.
10th October: 18st 6¾lb (¾lb loss) Feeling great! Finished week 6 of couch to 5k with a 25minute run. 💪 Honestly if you guys knew me you'd never have thought I could do it! I never thought I could. I'm so enjoying it too which is such a surprise!
11th October: 18st 5¾lb (1lb loss) So happy to see that lb loss but suspect it's a fake out - skipped my evening meal last night because my kids were so unsettled. By the time I got the opportunity to eat it was after 9pm and I couldn't be bothered. I think I can expect a wee bump tomorrow.
12th October: 18st 6lb (¼lb gain) There it is! No matter, I can cope with that. Onwards and downwards.
13th October: 18st 6lb (no change) I can't explain this. I was under on calories and jogged for half an hour yesterday. Disappointing.
14th October: 18st 6lb (no change) Umm..!! I will be going jogging tonight. Hoping that will give me a boost to get past this little ledge I'm stuck on. Fingers crossed.
15th October: 18st 6¾lb (¾lb gain) I can't even pretend to understand. 25min jog yesterday, under on calories, good choices. I'm feeling very frustrated. Literally back where I started on day one of this round.
16th October: 18st 8¾lb (2lb gain) 🤷♀️

Starting Weight 130
Starting Round Weight: 120.6lbs.
Goal some where 119
Ultimate goal Weight 114-118
Midwestern 54 year old woman
At the last few pounds, and have been bouncing all over the place. seem to be defying the laws of physics. Goal for October to eat 5 servings (80g) fruits/ vegetables of different colors every day.
Good luck everyone!!
10th Oct: 120.6- Spin Day- Shocked I am starting at a low, went to the last Beer/Wine walk last night and enjoyed the appetizers. Our husbands joined us and we went to fewer restaurants and beer theme not my favorite so may have worked in my weight loss favor.
11th Oct: 119.8 Have been bouncing around for 3 weeks from 122.8 to 120, can not believe I have broken the floor of 120. Heading to Body Pump this morning after enjoying my oatmeal smoothie bowl. Ate more than 7 servings of fruits and veggies and 100 grams of protein yesterday, yeah...
12th Oct:120.2 Not bad- since I hit a low yesterday...tomorrow will be the real test as we are going tailgating this afternoon- no good will happen there I am sure- But lots of fun! Probably take me all week to recover- trying to mentally prepare for tomorrows scale number- Did go to body pump- Had my oatmeal smoothie bowl, and planning on leftover ratatouille for lunch. Do not want be ravished when I get there.
13th Oct:121.8- To be expected..Had a great time at ND/USC tailgate. Tons of people tons of food and even though I was drinking 100 calorie hard cider they still add up. My apple watch actually turned on and asked me if I was working out walking from where we parked to the tailgate. I should check to see if it was a mile. Well, ate with reckless abandon and will spend all week correcting - but this is life enjoy ing each moment and accepting the consequences. Did go to body pump before and did a 3 mile walk in preparation- I made horrible Tiramisu brownies (had to throw away)- I am so out of practice baking, not cooked all the way thru but did sample too much of those too.
14th Oct:121.6 Starting my slow trek downward- I hope to be back to my low last week or 2 ounces lower by end of week. Went to body pump today and walked the dog twice. Fall is coming quick here and the cool weather has begun. I am not sure I will be getting 2 walks in much longer. Also ate all my fruits and veggies in every color... Love Fall veggies.
15th Oct: 120.2- Well bloat came off faster then usual, made a fruit salad for my girlfriends meeting yesterday- lots of diuretic fruit seems selfish but everyone enjoyed. Spin Day, going to try to get to class early so can get several extra miles in.
16th Oct:120.0 Yeah! Body Pump day,,, but weather does not look walkable today, bummer for me and the dog.
