08/25 173.2 lbs

08/27 172.8 lbs
08/28 173.4 lbs so annoying
08/29 173.6 lbs still going in the wrong direction! However, my scales show my body fat percentage and that is going down so I think it must be water weight. I had a bottle of sparkling water yesterday and I think that has a lot of sodium in it. Libra keeps moving my goal date a month at a time!
08/30 173.2 lbs
08/31 173.2 lbs I'm hoping for at least a .4 drop by Wednesday
09/01 173.2 lbs 3 days at the same weight. When I started again, Libra estimated I'd reach my goal in December this year. During this round I've gone from April to November 21. I did 9000 steps yesterday and 6000 already today before weighing in.
I'm not even eating my exercise calories!

09/01 - 154.1 - On my way back down. We got ourselves a new project car (BF has wanted another classic bug for years) so spent the entire afternoon sweating in the sun. Water wasn't great, but I did my best with some payoff in weight. Today possibly more work on it between meetings. I'm okay with it, I grew up working on cars and gives me something physical to do outdoors. Just need to take more breaks in the AC so I don't feel so ick drinking so much water in the heat (its easy for me to get hot enough to not eat and it seems water will also make me feel a little uneasy if I'm too hot). Hoping I can drop back down in the next couple days!

Previous Day's Comments08/25 - Quite alright. Starting off with a sodium bump. BF made dinner last night and apparently the flow restriction top of the worcestershire sauce came off while he was adding it, only to dump a bit too much in there and could taste the extra saltiness of it. Focusing on water today, again, and finding activity to get moving. Didn't sleep well at all, though my fitbit says I had the best sleep in a long while. Obviously false as it read I was in "REM" but I definitely looked at the time and was awake during that period. Hoping I can wake up fully and enough to not be lazy and dragging all day.
08/26 - Little tick down. Dinner was a bit heavy, taco bell recreations. Surprised I dropped any at all. Water wasn't too great and no activity. Work got really crazy and I have a feeling work is going to get crazy again today but I have a workout date with Fam this morning to offset the madness.
08/27 - Yay, another drop and now at goal weight for the round -- challenge is to keep it at or under this. Today is my Friday since I don't work Fridays and therefore a nice long weekend to screw things up if I'm not careful/diligent. I ALMOST reached my goal for water but also gave myself a bit of a stomach ache with all the water I was drinking after a very filling dinner. Plus, I didn't want to have to wake up and use the bathroom. I have issues with insomnia enough without bodily functions adding to it. Goal is to get a walk in today.
08/28 - Whoosh! That was entirely unexpected, especially since I went back for seconds on the homemade chicken tikka marsala at dinner. First round was with some basmati rice, second was toned down with just the chicken in sauce/gravy. But, as usual with Indian food, I figured I'd gain. Guess it wasn't as calorie-laden as I thought(I looked up various recipes for it online and averaged them for dinner)? My estimated calories were barely under goal and I didn't end up getting the walk in I wanted due to work being hectic so I'm really surprised. Just barely hit my goal of 4 water bottles (16.4oz steel bottle - Save the Earth!) but I need to find a way to sneak in an extra 10oz to hit my rounded half-body weight in oz goal. Just happy I was able to get the 4 bottles in finally [insert happy dance]! Let's see if I can get through the weekend and maintain. Back on my IF attempt (its so hard to do on weekends and today is part of my weekend).
08/29 - Not unexpected. Dinner out due to a sudden change in plans and it was very carby. Also cheesy so that induced bloating due to my sensitivity to lactose. Also a couple beers over the day instead of my usual 1 with dinner. Missed my 64oz water goal by about 7oz. All good, as long as I can overcome it through the remainder of the weekend.
08/30 - Dehydration water retention. Unexpected trip to the river to beat the heat in some water. Besides my body holding on to water from being in it for hours, I didn't have much water to drink. My one water bottle emptied quickly and only a couple cans of sparkling water were brought (I was told there was water, just not told there was very little and we had 2 young kids that need it, too). Didn't have much at all breakfast wise, was still a bit hungry after my small on the go. Lunch was nonexistent so almonds and beer nuts at the river was all I had to snack on. Dinner was large homemade beef and venison burgers which made me feel quite heavy and full. At least I don't feel overly bloated, just waterlogged. Hopefully that means a nice quick drop once I drink enough water -- focusing on that today. Going to attempt to replant my veggies in my raised garden bed today. Right now they're sitting in pots inside the garden bed. Storms last weekend prevented me from getting it done, but it desperately needs it.
08/31 - Ouch... As much as I tried drinking water yesterday, I couldn't keep up. We cleaned out the garage, got rid of stuff. Had to reorganize the shed to fit stuff from garage into shed. BF trying to convert his garage into his office so we can get a dining room table before kids get back to visit. Also found a nice window AC unit for the garage last night on the town's facebook garage sale page -- hopefully it works! Could've come in handy during the day... Triple digits plus the hotbox that is the garage did not bode well for my already slightly dehydrated self. Prior to that, I went out and FINALLY planted my veggies in the raised bed from pots. That was not an easy feat by myself AT ALL. I felt sick to my stomach with how much water I was drinking during breaks but still ended up dehydrated. Today should be fairly simple to get back on track. Not sure dinner plans yet, but I'm on my own for "breakfast" and lunch. I'm still trying for IF until 11 but I don't eat lunch until about 2 so it holds me over until dinner, otherwise I get hangry and nauseous. Will be tracking today to ensure I'm in the green.

08/28 197.4 I stayed in a deficit yesterday (612 calories in deficit according to MFP and Fitbit combined), but had a lot of carbs. The next few days will indicate if this is a real gain or if it's water.
08/29 197.2 Ate at maintenance yesterday. I figure any day I lose or maintain is a great day. The scale might fluctuate, but eating at maintenance or at a deficit is within my control.
08/30 196 Deficit of just over a thousand calories yesterday. I ate a lot and burned a lot between housecleaning and bike ride. Lots of carbs but that's not seeming to matter today.

8/25 - 169.7 Trying not to get too excited. Each oz in a lb. seems to have a mind of its own lately. Each taking turns hopping up and down like evil bouncy balls. (After I wrote this I got a mental image of what 16 of those balls released all at once might look like--cracked me up! I'm just weird like that.)
8/26 - 168.7 Keeping this loss to the end of this round will be my new R124 goal. Thinking it will still be a challenge.
8/27 - 169.3 Not sweating the small bounces. Determined to keep the 7 out of the second position. So, 30 minutes after I posted this, my daughter delivers a Starbucks Bacon Gouda and Vente Pumpkin Spice Coffee. Bless.Her.Heart. Going to enjoy every sip/bite. Still determined ... no 7 in the second position! I let you know how I compensate for this once I figure it out. lol
8/28 - 169.1 Earned 790 calories by walking that I did not eat back. Walked wildly (Side steps and in place) during a virtual team meeting instead of sitting all day which added nearly 2,500 of 14,000 steps. I may have started a new virtual meeting habit!

Goal weight for this round: Somewhere in the lower 115 or 114 range
Previous days08/25 116.6 I went for another walk this morning because I just wasn’t feeling a higher intensity workout today. I even made a chicken friend along the way. It was so funny and made my morning! He was quite friendly too. Luckily, I saw a couple who lived in the neighborhood and told me it was okay for him to be roaming around. I was worried about him running away from home lol.
Typical breakfast planned. My snack is going to be a caprese salad because we got gorgeous tomatoes and basil in our csa. I think dinner will be some sort of steak tips, but not sure what we’ll have with them. Most likely salad because we also got lots of greens with the CSA. Have a good Tuesday!
08/26 (posted on 8/27) 115.8 Getting back down to 114 would be so nice, but I guess I’ll take it one pound at a time. Ups and downs are normal but so annoying haha. Food was on point yesterday and today should be too. I’m making pulled pork for diner and looking forward to it. I think I’ll make some sort of slaw to eat with it and top it with some zucchini refrigerator pickles I made a few weeks back.
08/27 115.6 Didn’t end up posting my blurb yesterday. I wrote it out but never had a minute to post it. We went on a nice walk in the woods today for our workout. It was lovely 😊. Today is another busy day and we are having some left over pulled pork for dinner with salad, black beans, and tomatoes. Yum! Have a good day!
08/28 116.8 Awesome workout this morning and will be getting a 3 mile walk in later today as I walk to pick up my car that’s in the shop. It’s a gorgeous day, so I figured why not get the extra walk versus have my husband give me a ride.
So, I think I’m going to try and lose super slow (already happening) because with my mother in law being in the hospital/sick people have been continuously bringing food by and I can’t control that because that’s life. Her friends want to help us all out and their kindness is truly appreciated….but it’s not too kind on my hips. I’ve been able to essentially maintain this month since the food train has started, but it’s hard to lose when you have no idea of the recipe. In the meantime, until the onslaught of food stops, I’ll just keep on doing what I am doing and track as much as I can. It’s also really hard to say no to take-out when you it’s put right in front of your face and you know it’ll be wasted if you don’t eat it. So that’s my food venting for the day.
Any ways have a happy Friday and I’m going to go eat my granola, fruit, and yogurt!
08/29 116.0 Already got a spin bike workout in this morning. Today will be a day filled with chores so that I can have a lazy day tomorrow. Dinner tonight will be left over pulled pork with broccoli and a tomato & greens salad. The dinner train dropped off baked pasta last night which was very rich but I had a giant tomato sliced with some fresh mozzarella before the pasta to help fill me up. It worked well because I was able to have a reasonable serving with one meatball. I felt very satisfied after eating it all, but I didn’t feel like I did much damage. I even managed to lose some water weight overnight 😊. Have a good weekend!
08/30 115.0 I’ll take the whoosh 😊. My husband and I went for a 4 mile walk this morning and just finished watching a soccer game we DVR’d last night. Solid day so far! Breakfast/lunch will be the last of the baked pasta with 2 meatballs, my snack will be left over canned pumpkin with yogurt and granola, and dinner will be a big salad and 2-3 fried eggs.
I downloaded Happyscale to get a different view of my weight data. It’s interesting the different views and options you have to observe the trends. I just splurged on the one-time payment for their premium option and I already love the extras! So, that’ll be a fun app to look at each day as well. It has me reaching my “running average” 110lb goal in May of next year, and I’m okay with that. I just need to remind myself that I’m not in a race.
I feel the best I have about my body and health (except for my borderline high cholesterol of 202 I just found out about, although the ratio is decent and the HDL is at a good level, so not too worried). In relation to my cholesterol, I’m going to start bringing more healthy fats (I eat plenty of fiber so I know I don’t need more of that to help my cholesterol) into my diet because those will help my cholesterol levels. I had borderline high cholesterol in the past, but reversed it with diet and exercise in my early 20s… now it has creeped back at 29 almost 30. I think with all of the calorie counting, I have been shying away from including as much healthy fats than I used to which could have had an impact on my cholesterol levels. Or my levels were higher back in April when I started this but I will never know. I would hope that losing ten pounds and exercising most days of the week has had a positive effect though. Who knows! That’s my book of a post today. Have a happy Sunday!
08/31 114.6 We did a great running workout this morning on the soccer field. Man is grass tough to run in at times. You don’t feel quite so light on your feet compared to asphalt. But with that resistance of the grass equals a better workout and it’s nicer on my hips and knees.
Today will be a good day food wise and will consist of typical stuff for me 😊. Through tracking my weight daily since April, I have finally realized the time of month when I am at my lightest and it’s right around now. So, going forward, I will continue to weigh every day but not worry as much about the fluctuations and just have a month to month comparison. As I look at the data, it definitely shows a gradual decline despite all the annoying blips up. So, I guess I’m just feeling better about it all mentally… and that is so important!
Happy Monday!
09/01 114.0 Woohoo! New low 😊. We went for a nice long walk this morning. It’s good it was long because I have an ice cream trip planned today for after our meat CSA pick up. I have been craving cake batter like nobody’s business, so I figured cake batter ice cream would be a calorically better treat versus making a bowl of cake batter and eating it all. I have found recipes for low cal cake batter but I’m not really into artificial sweeteners and such.
So, I have my usual breakfast planned along with ice cream for a dinner appetizer lol, and rotisserie chicken with roasted potatoes plus salad for dinner.
We got Cape Gooseberries in our CSA yesterday and they are so yummy! They have a little sweetness to them but are earthy tasting at the same time. They went well with a salad that had shredded carrot, tomatoes, baby greens, and baked chicken fingers on top with a BBQ dressing. I’m so glad I thought of the dressing: 2 tbs Stubb’s BBQ sauce, 1 tbs Frank’s buffalo sauce, and 1 tbs apple cider vinegar. It was so yummy! It went perfectly with the chicken fingers in the salad and added a nice twist to the greens and veggies! The dressing will definitely be a repeat for me.
Enjoy your Tuesday!

09/01 - 154.1 - On my way back down. We got ourselves a new project car (BF has wanted another classic bug for years) so spent the entire afternoon sweating in the sun. Water wasn't great, but I did my best with some payoff in weight. Today possibly more work on it between meetings. I'm okay with it, I grew up working on cars and gives me something physical to do outdoors. Just need to take more breaks in the AC so I don't feel so ick drinking so much water in the heat (its easy for me to get hot enough to not eat and it seems water will also make me feel a little uneasy if I'm too hot). Hoping I can drop back down in the next couple days!
09/02
09/03
Previous Day's Comments08/25 - Quite alright. Starting off with a sodium bump. BF made dinner last night and apparently the flow restriction top of the worcestershire sauce came off while he was adding it, only to dump a bit too much in there and could taste the extra saltiness of it. Focusing on water today, again, and finding activity to get moving. Didn't sleep well at all, though my fitbit says I had the best sleep in a long while. Obviously false as it read I was in "REM" but I definitely looked at the time and was awake during that period. Hoping I can wake up fully and enough to not be lazy and dragging all day.
08/26 - Little tick down. Dinner was a bit heavy, taco bell recreations. Surprised I dropped any at all. Water wasn't too great and no activity. Work got really crazy and I have a feeling work is going to get crazy again today but I have a workout date with Fam this morning to offset the madness.
08/27 - Yay, another drop and now at goal weight for the round -- challenge is to keep it at or under this. Today is my Friday since I don't work Fridays and therefore a nice long weekend to screw things up if I'm not careful/diligent. I ALMOST reached my goal for water but also gave myself a bit of a stomach ache with all the water I was drinking after a very filling dinner. Plus, I didn't want to have to wake up and use the bathroom. I have issues with insomnia enough without bodily functions adding to it. Goal is to get a walk in today.
08/28 - Whoosh! That was entirely unexpected, especially since I went back for seconds on the homemade chicken tikka marsala at dinner. First round was with some basmati rice, second was toned down with just the chicken in sauce/gravy. But, as usual with Indian food, I figured I'd gain. Guess it wasn't as calorie-laden as I thought(I looked up various recipes for it online and averaged them for dinner)? My estimated calories were barely under goal and I didn't end up getting the walk in I wanted due to work being hectic so I'm really surprised. Just barely hit my goal of 4 water bottles (16.4oz steel bottle - Save the Earth!) but I need to find a way to sneak in an extra 10oz to hit my rounded half-body weight in oz goal. Just happy I was able to get the 4 bottles in finally [insert happy dance]! Let's see if I can get through the weekend and maintain. Back on my IF attempt (its so hard to do on weekends and today is part of my weekend).
08/29 - Not unexpected. Dinner out due to a sudden change in plans and it was very carby. Also cheesy so that induced bloating due to my sensitivity to lactose. Also a couple beers over the day instead of my usual 1 with dinner. Missed my 64oz water goal by about 7oz. All good, as long as I can overcome it through the remainder of the weekend.
08/30 - Dehydration water retention. Unexpected trip to the river to beat the heat in some water. Besides my body holding on to water from being in it for hours, I didn't have much water to drink. My one water bottle emptied quickly and only a couple cans of sparkling water were brought (I was told there was water, just not told there was very little and we had 2 young kids that need it, too). Didn't have much at all breakfast wise, was still a bit hungry after my small on the go. Lunch was nonexistent so almonds and beer nuts at the river was all I had to snack on. Dinner was large homemade beef and venison burgers which made me feel quite heavy and full. At least I don't feel overly bloated, just waterlogged. Hopefully that means a nice quick drop once I drink enough water -- focusing on that today. Going to attempt to replant my veggies in my raised garden bed today. Right now they're sitting in pots inside the garden bed. Storms last weekend prevented me from getting it done, but it desperately needs it.
08/31 - Ouch... As much as I tried drinking water yesterday, I couldn't keep up. We cleaned out the garage, got rid of stuff. Had to reorganize the shed to fit stuff from garage into shed. BF trying to convert his garage into his office so we can get a dining room table before kids get back to visit. Also found a nice window AC unit for the garage last night on the town's facebook garage sale page -- hopefully it works! Could've come in handy during the day... Triple digits plus the hotbox that is the garage did not bode well for my already slightly dehydrated self. Prior to that, I went out and FINALLY planted my veggies in the raised bed from pots. That was not an easy feat by myself AT ALL. I felt sick to my stomach with how much water I was drinking during breaks but still ended up dehydrated. Today should be fairly simple to get back on track. Not sure dinner plans yet, but I'm on my own for "breakfast" and lunch. I'm still trying for IF until 11 but I don't eat lunch until about 2 so it holds me over until dinner, otherwise I get hangry and nauseous. Will be tracking today to ensure I'm in the green.

If you feel ick from drinking a decent amount of plain water in the heat, have you ever tried one of the electrolyte powder mixes to add to your water bottle? It might be interesting to see if getting a little bit of sodium & potassium in the mix could help with the ick feeling. There are even diy liquid concoctions you can make.
If you're interested I can share a modified recipe from a running cookbook I have.4 -
@lilyluck Your solid goals paid off in August--great job shedding 11 lbs in one month!
@momlarissa You work out so hard! Remember the scale is one way to measure success. I suspect you have acquired some muscle, perhaps some swole. I predict a whoosh coming soon for you! The other thing I wonder about is that you switched scales this round and thought the new one may weigh light. Perhaps it adjusted to the normal weight? Scales can be tempermental. I will add @prehistoricmoongoddess for this: I was reading another thread and it spoke to how there are some scales that will not report a weight difference of .5# or less from day-to-day. Other scales fluctuate when they need new batteries. My point is you are likely making progress that your scale may be sabotaging.
@frida001 Look at you go! Don't sabotage yourself when you are on a roll! Just as the numbers on the scale can discourage, they can encourage as well. No matter which was the scale goes, they are just numbers. What counts is that when you know you are on track, you don't need a scale to validate your strength! (You may need to remind me of this someday!)
@_JeffreyD_ and @quiltingjaine . Loved the pics of the crayfish and Cathedral Gorge. I may try to post a pic of the tree frog who has set up temporary residence behind my fake owl--if I can figure the techy out.
@Mondowefte Glad you are able to get back to the pool. I don't have a pool here but went we to to our FL condo, I LOVE to use the pool to exercise. Even with sore muscles that water resistance doing aerobics really loosens me up. Not sure what is causing your stress, but maybe try some meditation. Also may try to self reflect: Is the case of the stress something you can control? Prayers to you.
@deepwoodslady That grilled chicken sounded amazing!

ROUND 124
I’m a 5’ 8”, 45 yo Mom of 2 young ones. The lockdown had me squeaking toward 200, so I knew I had to start taking better care of myself!
Original SW: 196.2 lb (6/11/20)
GOAL Weight: 165 lb
Total weight loss to date: 13.9 lb
17.3lb to go!
R121: -3.1 lb✔️
R122: -1 lb ✔️
R123: -.2 lb ✔️
Round 124 SW: 182.3 (on 8/24/20)
08/25 – 181.1 – Starting off pretty well for this round! I’m hoping this drop will stick.
08/26 – 180.3 - - I’ve been making sure to get in my 3 goals of calories, steps & water, and it looks like that has been working.
08/27 – 180.0 – Whoooo!! MFP says I’ve now lost 51% of my target! It took me 11 weeks to get half-way there!
08/28 – 179.8 – Yes, yes! I am starting to see the 170s!
08/29 – 179.6 – I have had great trajectory this week. I am going to be extra careful on my calories today because my son’s birthday is tomorrow. Pizza and cake is what he has requested for the day, so that’s what he will get
08/30 – 180.4 – Not sure what happened here, because I kept within my normal calorie window. That just shows you that these fluctuations happen even when we’re careful. We have a birthday celebration in the house today so watch out tomorrow
08/31 – DNW – Yeah, I am actually scared to step on the scale after the birthday party yesterday….
09/01 – 181.1 – Whoo. Not as bad as I thought, but it was probably higher yesterday. No problem, I’m back on track now

@MTW70 Kudos! I wish I could make it past 18 hours fasting. Other than feeding my husband I think I could but fixing lun-ner for him causes me to cave!
@quiltingjaine It wasn't planned, just a busy day However, I usually plan to get in one 20 hour fast a week, if I am feeling good and not that hungry at the 16 hour mark. Just don't normally do those on a day I've been running!

Oh yes!! I'd love something like that.
I had a small bottle of gatorade yesterday to try to replenish but I really really hate how sweet those types of drinks are. I was drinking pedialyte for awhile but it gets so expensive and still has a lot of sugar for my taste (though will do in a pinch over gatorade, powerade, etc). I wish I could go for a sugar-free alternative but, unfortunately, my mom gifted me with migraines when I eat/drink anything with too much artificial sweetener. I've found drinking water and supplementing with the right foods (and sometimes a little more salt as I normally don't add salt to anything) works for me. Texas heat is a whole new beast for me to adjust to, but I love it so much I need to figure something out.6 -

08/27 / 146.6/ well that sucks. But didn’t weigh dinner portion of stir fry last night. Need to be more accurate with each entry.
08/28 / 146.2 / Guess my body really likes that .4 lbs I keep going back and forth on. Going to keep logging and see if I can break out of this.
08/29 /145.2 / that’s a surprise. Hope the downward trend stays with consistency. Going to try to stay on track during the weekend.
08/30 / 145.2
08/31 / 145.6 / wasn’t accurate with logging sat-sun. Expecting to see the big uptick tomorrow since it usually takes 2 days for it to show up on the scale for me
09/01 / 145 / I can’t believe there’s only 2 more days left in this round! I’m happy with today’s weigh in. My goal was to lose .5-1lb so I’m excited I met that. Hope it sticks!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25: 178.0 (down 2.4 from yesterday) Nice "loss" from yesterday but really that was an inflated number from the weekend overeating. Still up .3 from Friday's weight. But happy it is heading in the right direction!
08/26: 177.1 (down .9 from yesterday) Went on a run yesterday with my husband and ate well & within my calorie range all day but eventually went over as we had wine and & a snack later in the evening. Expect the number to bump up tomorrow, as it usually take 2 days for the scale to reflect that for me.
08/27: 177.9 (up .8 from yesterday), there's the slight uptick I was expecting from Tuesday night's over indulgences. Yesterday was an okay day calorie wise but was in the higher part of my allowed calorie range. Wanted to go for a run as it was great weather and supposed to storm all day today but husband's knee can't do two runs in a row, so we are hoping the weather cooperates today.
08/28: 177.2 (down .7 from yesterday) Last Friday when I weighed in, I was 177.7 so only down a half pound these last 7 days but most of this week was spent getting the scale to come down after a weekend filled with high caloric takeaways. But I've been consistently making better choices since Monday so feel like I'm in a better place as this new weekend starts. Exercise wise, the weather didn't cooperate for running yesterday but am planning to get a run in on my lunch hour today and looking forward to a chicken Caesar salad for dinner. Other positives, doing great with IF 16/8 & Alcohol Free for the most part, allowing adult beverages only 1 night per week.
08/29: 176.5 (down .7 from yesterday) Finally got another run in yesterday, felt great with lower temps and humidity. Fall is my favorite running weather, although this summer's heat has not been too bad. It's raining and thunderstorming here all day today, so planning on a relaxing day indoors reading and maybe some yoga.
08/30: 176 (down .5 from yesterday) So close to my goal round weight, now just need to stay on the downward trend! I weighed in a little later this morning, so I am okay if this bumps up a little bit tomorrow, still plenty of time to make my round goal and have it stick. On plan for today is a nice outdoor run and husband is home for dinner (due to work he is only home for a family dinner 2-3 times a week) so I'll be cooking tonight. The recipe I'm planning will fit in my calorie allotment but I just need to be stricter with my calories for lunch to make it work. I normally pre-log my food into MFP in the morning, so that there are no surprises & usually leave a little wiggle room to adjust my choices as needed. Have a great day everyone!
08/31: 174.8 (down 1.2 from yesterday) Wasn't expecting this drop, I'll believe it when I see that it sticks for tomorrow's weigh-in! The weather was great for yesterday's run (low 70's) but I ran later than I planned, at about 18 hours into my fast, so my legs were fairly sluggish on the way out but I felt better on the way back. Then it was a quick shower and out the door to run errands, so my fast actually lasted a little over 20 hours not the usually 16. They could be a reason for the bigger scale drop. Enjoyed 3 glasses of wine (measured the oz. in each glass) watching the Tour De France with my husband and still stayed in a good calorie deficit. All in all a nice weekend
09/01: 175 (up .2 from yesterday) That seems like a more realistic number, definitely okay with the slight uptick. My fast yesterday was only 14/10 because Sunday's night's fast starter much later. No way was I making it to 2 p.m. yesterday to get the full 16 hours! Calories yesterday were on the low end of my range but sodium heavy, so lots and lots of water today. Plans for today include cooking family dinner tonight and hopefully my husband joins me on my run this afternoon.

I can't imagine Texas heat even after the pretty hot and humid summer we've had in Mass this year. I managed to find the recipe reprinted online too! I've made it for long runs and it does kind of taste like a not so sweet Gatorade. The recipe was great for a summer race, so I imagine it can help you withstand the Texas heat.
The molasses and cherry juice make it a funky color but it tastes good to me! I hope it helps! https://www.runtothefinish.com/homemade-electrolyte-drink/
MAKES 28 OUNCES
Ingredients:
2 cups filtered water
2 cups coconut water
½ cup tart cherry juice (optional)*
2 tablespoons fresh- squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
¼ teaspoon high-quality sea salt
*Juices are high in sugar, which is why we always dilute them with water and use them in small quantities, mainly just for flavoring. If you can’t find tart cherry juice, sub in any other favorite juice.5 -
@kblanc14 This sounds so tasty! I love tart cherry juice so this may be a treat, as well. Plus, sugar from natural sources is a-okay by me. Its the added stuff that gets to me.3

Oh good! Yea, I agree with you about the natural sugar! The thing I liked about it was that it didn't really taste sweet, but just had a good flavor.2 -

08/25 145.4 I haven't really lost anything in days, and I feel a spike coming on. Maybe a big one. Why is it so hard to get motivated right now?
08/26 146.0 Setting out all my water for the day in advance. Going to acknowledge that I am having a problem with sugar binges so I can get to work on it. If anyone has tips, I'd welcome them! I almost feel like I must be deficient in some vitamins/minerals because these cravings are strong.
08/27 144.8 What worked for me yesterday: (1) setting out my water in advance and DRINKING it (half with Crystal Light). (2) Actually logging my food and staying in my calorie limit. I haven't cleaned up what I'm eating terribly much, but every day I remain in my calorie limit is a win (and maybe a loss- the good kind!).
08/28 145.4 Ah, well, my trend line is still spiking down, so I'm not having anxiety over these little bobbles.

09/01 147.4 I *so* didn't want to get on the scale today. We had a death in the family yesterday- my husband's mother died after being in hospice care for while- and we did some major stress eating. I expect the next couple of days to be equally stressful and I'm going to do my best, but I'm not ending this challenge with a loss for sure.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
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.

8/25 116.5 I got sidetracked reading this morning. My husband was in a fender bender yesterday morning and as a result, I cancelled my PT so I stopped reading here and just did my home exercises. DH and car are not severely damaged. I am noticing SUCH a difference from the therapy exercises that I WANT to go back to the gym! WOW! You have NO IDEA how huge that is for me! The cat does NOT like me using HIS floor to do home exercises!

8/27 116.5 LOL Just noticed the typo in the post I made this morning. Of course my buds are “seeing” it makes SEWING so much easier!! Ate lunch at the New Mexican restaurant yesterday. I ate soooo many carbs! But it was SOOOO GOOD! Totally worth it, I have half leftover for lunch at “sew day.” I had an amazing day with my gal pals!
8/28 116.0 Tomorrow we’re going out of town all day to visit my college BFF. She and her SO and 2 cats have become full timers in an RV. He makes homemade pasta but they are aware of my WOE so it could be interesting!
8/29 117.0 McD’s breakfast on the road, Will’s meatloaf, mashed potatoes and salad
8/30 117.5 A picture from the place Marge and I went yesterday while Will took Carl to Delamar.
8/31 116.5 Great Greek yesterday for my OMAD. One of favorite “fall backs” when nothing sounds good to eat. I can’t believe I didn’t post yesterday!
9/1 117.0 Dinner plans changed and dinner was very late for us. We usually eat by 4 but went to friends and it was between 7 and 7:30.6 -

8/28 165.0 I took off from mid-February until now. I was stuck and discouraged. The pandemic has forced me back to my home office. I was unable to get my roommate in to a new place because first she was laid off, second due to all her health issues she is high risk (COPD/Asthma) and while she's a nightmare roommate she is still my friend. I have gained 9 pounds since I left this Challenge. I am still walking almost daily. I should hit the challenge goal of 1020km (approx 634 miles) this year. Walking is the only thing that has kept me sane. I didn't walk today because my foot has been bothering me (broken in a car accident almost 30 years ago) and I'm antsy already. I went from traveling 3 weeks a month to basically not leaving my house. I am an extrovert, a loud goofy sales person so being home 24/7 is my least favorite thing to do. We were told last week we will continue to work from home until the end of the year, then they will reevaluate. So what I keep thinking is temporary isn't. Time to face the music and stop living in a temporary "I can do what I want while this BS is going on" mode. I have continued to track, though not seriously. I started a few days ago and was shocked at the calories I was eating. If I hadn't been walking I would probably have gained 20. I loved the support I got here before and it does make me more accountable to myself. And since I'm sure you've missed seeing pics of my adorable niece here is one to start this off with a bang. She was helping me with setting up my laptop.
8/29 166.1 Walked 3.04 miles Wrong way already. I weighed over the weekend but didn't post.
8/30 166.5 Walked 3.21 miles Still wrong.
8/31 DNW Might walk after work or at lunch if the rain slows down. I've already eaten breakfast and forgot to weigh. I'm out of the habit. I was bad all weekend. Getting back on track is going to be challenging for me. Avocado toast for breakfast on a rainy late summer morning is a pretty good start though.
9/1 168.1 Walked 0 miles. It rained all day yesterday and this morning. Fingers crossed for walking after work. Of course I start back on here the same week as mother nature hits me. Noodle bowls with a lot of sodium and TOM kick me up two pounds on my 5th day back to the challenge.8 -
@quiltingjaine Thanks for posting that fat transformation graphic. Seems to explain a lot of what our daily trends reflect! That was even cooler than my tree frog!

My Round 2!
Jillian Age 34 and 5'1"
HSW: 179.8
CSW: 176.4
GW: 130
RGW: 173 and increase exercise session length
Round 123 (1): 179.8 to 176.4 (-3.4)
🏃 08/25:174.6 So far so good! I didn't expect things to go so well so quickly. I am happy. I am staying within my calorie limits and it seems like 1400 is just fine along with lots of water. I am playing Ring Fit Adventure everyday. It is very fun. Even though the actual exercises are in short bursts, they are intense enough to give me a good workout. However, I am so sore today that it will be difficult to make myself workout tonight.
🏃 08/26:174.4 My weight is essentially the same, but today is a different sort of victory because I finally lost whatever water weight made me lose drastically in the first few days. I had 5 pounds of it! The other success is that starting all of this daily exercise is making me feel really great. My energy is up and I am enjoying life. I stayed within calorie limits as well and tried to drink more water. My exercise for yesterday was Just Dance 2020 on the Switch. I danced for 50 minutes, which estimated my calories burned at 311.61, but I am a wild dancer, so I suspect it was more. 😂
🏃 08/27:174.4 I am staying steady, so I won't let myself get discouraged. I know I should be losing based on my activity and calorie intake, but I know it will come off over time. I just need to be patient! I played Ring Fit Adventure yesterday. Today, I am going to play Just Dance 2020 for an hour. I am also going to download a free Jump Rope game on the Switch and try to add that to my mornings starting tomorrow. Right now, just getting into habits are key.
🏃 08/28:175.8 Even though I stayed below my calorie limit and exercised, I had consumed a massive amount of sodium due to a combination of tortilla soup and ramen. Lmao. This was definitely water weight. I will keep a closer eye on my sodium intake from now on.
🏃 08/29:174.0 I didn't make it to any exercise yesterday, but stayed below both my calorie count and my sodium count. Today, I will play my fitness games on my switch.
🏃 08/30:173.2 I'm happy to see this drop even though I again didn't play my fitness games. It seems like I am still reaping the rewards from my previous workouts. It looks like I will probably surpass my weight goal for this round!
🏃 08/31:172.8 Hooray! I'm very thankful to whomever started these challenge rounds because I know they are the main reason I am able to stay on track with logging my meals and exercising. It would feel really great even if I weren't losing, but the drops are a definite bonus. I was able to play Ring Fit Adventure. I also started the free 100 Day Jump Rope challenge. It hardly takes any time, so that one should be daily even if I don't get any other exercise in.
🏃 09/01: 171.8 That's fantastic. I didn't work out yesterday, but I stayed within my calorie goal. Food tracking and being active are definitely the reason I am making progress. However, I am starting to believe that having quit alcohol for the past six months as of this date might also be helping.
