26/f
SW: 79.8kg
GW: 70kg
UGW: 52kg

Goal for this round is to stay focused for the whole 10 days, stick to what I know, and hopefully see the numbers drop!


08/25 - 79.1kg, I've started CICO again since Sunday and feeling good!
08/26 - 78.5kg, I'm seeing a lot of dropping very quickly but I feel like it'll creep up a little or plateau very soon. Likely losing a lot of water weight but it feels good regardless!
08/27 - 78.4kg, happy to still see a decrease. I've been sticking to my calorie limits but probably not drinking as much water as I should
08/28 - 78.5kg, as expected the initial water weight probably fell off and now balancing out. Staying strong!
08/29 - didn't weigh as I had a night away from home. Didn't count calories on 28th or today
08/30 - 79.4kg, didn't count Friday/Saturday so I'm not surprised, also low water intake and a bit of alcohol so everything is out of whack. Back to it today, hopefully see a better number tomorrow
08/31 - 79.2kg, I tried my best to count yesterday but went to a restaurant for lunch/dinner so couldn't be totally accurate-good to see a drop anyway! Happy Monday
09/01 - didn't weigh today
09/02 - didn't weigh again, I've gone a bit off track with calories and weighing. Will weigh tomorrow !!
09/03 -

Hi friends, so glad this thread is always here when I can get my act together.
Goals this round, to lose 1 pound.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 193.4 estimated total calories: 1505

08/26 193.4 I have to take a break from running due to stupid plantar faciitis which is super depressing. BUT I'm doing a 30 day no alcohol challenge and I'm interested to see if that makes it easier to lose. So far I miss my glass of wine while cooking but some days are easier than others. I am going to try to get back into lifting at the gym since I can't run, I tried the elliptical on Monday but foot hurt for two days after so probably gonna give that one some more time still. Calorie goal: 1400

08/27 194.0 well the scale was up today, but my BF % was down so that means there's a little water weight hanging around . I'm still on a downward trend and getting ready for TOM so a momentary blip is expected. Still sleeping in the dreaded night splint, I had less foot pain today so maybe I can hit the gym tomorrow and avoid a flare up. Calories were over yesterday by 400 due to chocolate snack after dinner, did I mention TOM? Upping the water today.

08/28 193.2 drinking my water, still giving my foot a break from any stress. I don't have a plan for dinner tonight which isn't good, bc that means I want to stand in the pantry and eat snack (not helpful, I know! ) better come up with one before I get too hungry!

08/29 192.4 I felt very happy to see this number on the scale after many days higher. Let's hope it sticks around and isn't destroyed by my salty lunch today, bc I'm on track to stay around 1200 calories - missed breakfast (accidentally), split chicken fajitas with a friend and brought leftovers home for the hubs, and just a little yogurt with fruit for dinner.

08/30 192.0 haven't been here since early July so this seems great progress. hoping for another little drop tomorrow! total calories today 1224

08/31 191.8 looks good to me.

09/01 191.8 stayed close to my calorie target again today but a bit short on water.

When you get this uncomfortable in your skin AND your clothes, you know you need a little extra accountability, and this forum is helping, tremendously!

Been making myself go for walks (or do workout videos) when my hurtin' body would rather say "No." Because my BMR is so low, I've been really cognizant of what is going in my mouth (and I'm not putting something in there-out of sheer boredom!) I've decided that I really don't enjoy exercising all that much! But, I've seen so much improvement in how my clothes fit over the past 15 days, that I'm NOT giving up now! Super excited to be getting back into my "real" wardrobe, after an umpteen year hiatus...

Round 124 goal(s): 2.4 lbs (to get and stay under 225). More importantly, lift weights at least 2x/wk, and rowing machine at least 2x/wk.

8/25: 227.6 (+0.4)/19.3 (0.0). Alright. I need to get this under control. I talked with my wife last night and asked that she stop accepting "outside food," particularly from her family. My sister-in-law visited on Sunday, and my in-laws sent chile rellenos with her. She also brought banana bread that she made from scratch. I love my wife's family, but them inundating me with food just throws me off. It's like they communicate love with food. I drew my line in the sand with my; I NEED to be in control of MY food. When I'm not in control of my food, something happens inside of me. I have been REALLY disciplined since I've been back, and I have been REALLY happy with the progress I have made in such a short time. But when I feel "forced" to do something different, particularly when it's multiple times in a week, it sends me down the road of "losing my mojo." I'm not going to let that happen; if that means me throwing away food that we have been "given," so be it. My health has to be more important than whether or not I eat something that someone gives to me unannounced. I guess what I'm getting at is that it would be easier for me if "people" were just told that I am really focusing on my health right now, and that I do NOT want ANYONE to give me ANYTHING. I COULD do that... but my wife doesn't want me to (for various reasons... mostly worried that she's going to hurt someone else's feelings). She would need to be the person that communicates this information to her family, but she's either reluctant or unwilling to do so. I have got to figure this out, because I like what's happening with me since I returned to this group. I want to continue my good habits. I'm going to go home tonight and do strength training; my body is still a little sore from what I did a few days ago, but I am going to "suck it up" and work through it tonight.

8/26: 226.4 (-1.2)/19.2 (-0.1). It feels really good to be back on the right track. I snacked a little bit too much last night (healthy snacks, though), but I generally had a pretty good day. My back is hurting a little bit, but I'm still going to try to do strength training today (I was still too sore yesterday); I'll just take it easy. My brother-in-law and his girlfriend are coming over to watch the Laker game tonight. I will NOT be having alcohol. I need to talk with my wife about food, and what we're planning in that regard. BEFORE they get here.

8/27: 226.0 (-0.4)/19.2 (0.0). It's amazing how long it takes to completely shake a bad habit, even one that only recently developed. As I say this, I have to acknowledge that my previous sentence is nonsense. Since July 18th, I have worked really hard to eliminate some long-term bad habits (particularly in the evening-snack department) that have made keeping a decent waistline absolute hell. What I have been experiencing in the past few days is not some brand-new bad habit; it's a resurgence of something that is all-too-familiar. I think it's important that I remember that. I also need to keep in mind that I am in no way giving up, and I am making progress. I still haven't worked out since earlier this week; my back was really hurting yesterday. That being said, I'm going to give it another shot today. Wish me luck!

8/28: 226.2 (+0.2)/19.2 (0.0). Cashews. Must stop eating cashews. At least I need to weigh something out and LEAVE IT AT THAT. I have a problem. It's not just sweets. Trying to squeeze in a post during a REALLY busy day. Sorry it's so short.

8/29: 224.8 (-1.4)/19.1 (-0.1). I finally got a bit of a handle on snacking yesterday. For some reason, when it's cashews, I just inhale them. It goes so fast. I had a few cashews yesterday (six I think), but I found something else to snack on that I was able to control a bit better. Despite my previous setback(s), I still think I'm doing great. I am WAY into seeing my trendline, but I still really like seeing a good weigh-in. This morning was satisfying. I'm 0.2 away from my recent low. THAT being said, my brother-in-law and his girlfriend are coming over today, and my parents are coming over tomorrow, so it's going to take some serious planning to get out of this weekend anywhere near the weight I have today. Honestly, if I'm at 226.0 on Monday morning, I'll consider the weekend a pretty rousing success. I'm going to lift weights this morning, and I'll do some rowing machine tomorrow morning. That should offset some of the badness I'll be doing to myself this weekend.

8/30: 226.6 (+1.8)/19.2 (+0.1). This is not unexpected. I had a nice cheat meal last night, and this is what happens the day after. I was pretty good with alcohol (two drinks or so). It could have been worse...? I'm going to do some strength training right now. I need to stay on-track as much as possible. My wife's birthday is 9/3. Is it weird that I'm happy that her birthday falls on the last day of a challenge?

8/31: 227.2 (+0.6)/19.3 (+0.1)

9/1: 226.4 (-0.8)/19.2 (-0.1). Sorry about missing posts for the past two days. I have been SUPER busy at work (9 clients today), but I'm still weighing in, and I'm still fully committed to this group

Day/Weight/Comment
25/8 128.5kg
Still a bit unwell, so no walking yet. I'm finding it easier not to snack in the evenings, which makes staying under my limit much easier.

26/8 128.2kg
Wanting to eat my feelings today. Instead I watched bad tv and sat with them. Hopefully I will feel a bit less overwhelmed tomorrow.

27/8 127.8kg
Finally got out of the house today, I haven't been out since Wednesday last week. Still really stressed.

28/8 128.4kg
A big bounce today. Our tap water is brown today, so takeaway for dinner. Still trying for higher protein choices, and only had half the mashed potato.

29/8 128.0kg
Nice to see that the bounce was short lived. Went swimming with the kids this morning, which was awesome. The pool had been closed since March, and I had definitely been missing it.

30/8 127.9kg
Today, after 3 weeks and 1 day, my trend hit my "in 5 weeks" goal that I got on the first day. I am also feeling all the muscles that I haven't used in months while the pool was closed. I will try to get back there tomorrow.

31/8 127.6kg
Got back to the pool today. It was a bit interrupted, but it is really nice to be back. Overdid the carbs a bit at dinner.

1/9 127.5kg <-- Yay, goals
My legs are so stiff today. Hopefully it will shake out as I get used to going back to the pool regularly. I still need to find out a way of dealing with my stress, as it isn't healthy.

2/9 127.4kg
Today was a constant struggle to make good choices. Eating out, with limited choices. I tried to make the best of it, but I am feeling sluggish tonight.

08/25 231.8 Though I walked 3.36 miles yesterday morning my Apple watch did NOT consider it exercise LOL Stopping to talk to neighbors, dog potty, dropping off book at library, light at intersection and not using pause on the watch when stopping … I guess it thinks I strolled too much. Overall I did get 12300 steps total yesterday. Today I must walk more purposefully!
08/26 231.2 3 mile walk but ran into friends again … some decided to walk with me. A couple of glasses of wine with dinner. Broke my dry spell this month.
08/27 231.2 Walked 3 miles, biked, gardened/digging, hand weights … still seem to be stuck around 231. Hoping to drop into the 20s soon!
08/28 231.5 Only I Can Change My Life, No One Can Do It For Me
08/29 231.2 On target every day this week with tracking calories & carbs, no snacking between meals or after dinner, exercise, and water. My body must just love this number ... been here many times over the past 5 years and it is like a comforting place for the scale or something. I'm not giving up ... going to push through this time around!
08/30 230.0 Yeah! I broke through after 7 days. Note to self: Don’t let a temporary plateau play mind games with you when you know that you are not cheating but the scale is not moving.
08/31 230.3 Walked 5 miles yesterday. I have 6 more to do today in order to hit by 100 miles in August target. I can do this!
09/01 230.3 Success! Down 11 pounds for August. Created many better habits in August … tracking my food, water, vitamins, walking, less alcohol, strength training, no snacking. Finished walking 100 miles in August. Now to walk and repeat all these good habits for September.
09/02 230.2 The colorful visuals in the morning & at night for reflection in my new journal created in August really helped keep me focused. Love my section on reasons and sayings. Setup up my September habits diagram again for tracking stepping on scale, water, exercise, alcohol free, tracking food, & vitamins. Additional focuses and sections breaking out specific exercise goals for September for walking, bike, planks, hand weights and yoga.

Day/Weight/Comment

08/25 - 144.5
08/26 - 145 - Calories have been good, so I'm hoping this is just some water retention.
08/27 - 144.5 - OK, I'm trending lower this week.
08/28 - 145.5 - Sigh. I've tracked my food all week and stayed within weight loss calories. I did start a cardio routine this week, so I'm hoping this is some DOMS. Also, I've been eating watermelon which, although low in calories, is high in sugar and carbs. I have a patio birthday party for my daughter on Sunday and my husband is making meatball subs for supper tonight, so I'm going to have to really watch what I eat the rest of the weekend along with drinking ALL the water.
08/29 - 144.5 - I did not want to weigh this morning. I woke up with swollen fingers from the sodium last night. I was so surprised when I saw my weight I checked again on my other scale. The watermelon and meatballs are all gone now and I'll just plan for a cupcake at my daughter's party tomorrow.
08/30 - 142.5 - Well, whoosh! I've been at this long enough to know it will bounce back up, but this really helps my trend line.
08/31 - 143.5 - It's all good, today I'll be carefully tracking my food and drinking water.
09/01 - 143.5 - I'm very happy this stuck today.
09/02 - 143.5 - If I can hold on here for another day, I'll be down a pound for the round. Water, water, water.

08/25 173.2 lbs
08/26 173.2 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!
09/02 173.0 lbs. 5500 steps today before weighing in. Didn't eat exercise calories yesterday. And now Libra says I'll get to my goal weight in January 2022!!?



@quiltingjaine

Thanks for the support. For the next 10 days I'm going to put down my body fat measurement too as that at least seems positive.

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.

08/25 196.6 I'm up a whole pound from yesterday. Fluctuations I suppose 🤷‍♀️ Have a good day all!

08/26 194.8 Woosh! I think I was holding onto some water for a few days.

08/27 193.4 My goal for today is to get better with water intake. I've been slacking a little. I'm still not drinking soda though!

08/28 193.4 I did great with water yesterday. On track to do pretty good today as well. Happy Friday! Hope you all have a great weekend.

08/29 193.6 I haven't been making great food choices the last few days but I haven't gone over my calories. Lots and lots of carbs though. My feet are swollen and feel like they're going to bust open. I'm guessing because my overkill of carbs?? So today my goal is watch my macros as much as my calories.

08/30 194.0 I did good yesterday with carbs, sodium, calories, and water. My feet aren't as swollen today either. I dont like seeing that bump but I'm hoping its normal fluctuations. We are headed to our lake lot today to get some work done so I should burn a lot. Happy sunday!

08/31 194.4 I dont like the way the scale is going!

09/01 193.6 So the scale went down a little but my hands and feet are swollen again today. This past few days have been frustrating! Going to stick to it though, and not give up. Happy September!! I love this month

09/02 192.2 I was happy to see that number!

I hit my water goal yesterday, was pretty good with food, only over 38 cals (and it felt like not a lot of food, I was quite hungry almost all day). Took 2 walks. I don't know what else it could be.

Previous Day's Comments

08/25 - 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.
09/01 - 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!

44, 6' trying to maintain at 150. Have to track here for accountability

8/25 vacation for the last 5 days dnw
8/26 155.2 Considering we ate out all 5 days and I definitely splurged on sweets and treats quite a bit this isn't awful. Back on track today. There is something comforting about knowing I have this place to keep myself accountable.
8/27 153.4 different digital scale that reads low. I ran, rode and walked 3.2 miles yesterday. Staying on track for this week.

8/31 155.8 WTH. I hiked 15.6 miles yesterday for 7.5 hours in the state forest over some decent size foothills. I'm sore and stiff today. And I kayaked and hiked saturday for another 7.5 miles. I know I didn't track food, but I didn't gorge. I expect I'm retaining water. Hard workouts always bump me up for a day or 2 before I drop back down. Doesn't matter. Tracking for today.
9.1 156.8 holy wow... I'm at a loss. Lots of water and trying not to freak out. I don't get it at all.
9/2 157 I think this is my vacation finally catching up with me. I knew it was too good to be true, giant hike this past weekend or not. Tracking here. I will not fall off the wagon.
