Thank you everyone for the thoughts and prayers. You have NO IDEA how much it is appreciated to have this amount of support. I'm beyond overwhelmed and grateful to have each and every one of you in my life

@matratazola - so sorry to hear this diagnosis for your Dad, I really hope that it is confined to that one place and they can sort out some treatment for him, keeping everything crossed and you both in my thoughts. Try to keep positive for his benefit xx

@eyesopennow thanks for the reminder to brace for bags of bite size candy laying around the house. I wonder if I can make it to November without eating a single piece? I think the key is to buy the kind of candy you don't like.

@_JeffreyD_ I am pretty fluent in English, but I do not comprehend the phrase "the kind of candy that you don't like." Not a single example comes to mind. Hence, my tremendous girth. LOL Take care.

That made me laugh !! Me too !!

9/29 158.8 Ate OK - but had a tiny piece of cheesecake at friends' home tonight.
9/30 157.8 Why the 1 lb drop?? My back tolerated a slow 2 mile jog! Ate OK.
10/1 157.8 Ate out Thai for dinner. Snacked a lot in the evening. Long work day --> no exercise.:(
10/2 159.6 Not happy with a large uptick on the scale this morning, but I also felt the previous 2 lower weights were a bit of an anomaly. I was able to jog 2 miles at the arb without problems with my back!! Ate decently.
10/3 159.2 Ate a slice of cake for dessert at friends' home.
10/4 158.6 Ate fine; heavy work day and no significant exercise
10/5 158.8 Felt very tired all day. Resisted snacking. Ate OK but didn't get out for a jog.
10/6 158.0 Another heavy work day; minimal snacking
10/7 158.0 2.6 mile jog - very slow but my back is A-OK with it!

@CamandJarvis - condolences to you & DBF, so sorry to hear the sad news, thinking of you all including his DD. I hope that his Mom's spiritual presence gives him the strength to make the long journey safely and make the necessary decisions when he gets there.
No time is a good time, but a shame just before your camping trip. Sending hugs xx.

Goal weight for this round: Maintaining 116/117 or dropping a little bit

Previous days

9/29 117.2 pre-workout 116.4 post workout. Started the morning with a 4 mile run. It felt pretty decent except for a side stich almost half way through it but I just walked for a bit and then slowly jogged until I could run a bit faster again. Starting to look into cold weather gear for running because my goal is to run through winter. Slept well for the first time in a while last night. I’m not completely sure why I slept so well but I’m hoping it continues 😊.
9/30 117.4 pre-workout 116.4 post workout- Today was a solid day all around. I ran a little under 3 miles this morning and my food has been on point all day. I even resisted Chipotle when my husband decided he wanted that and I continued to cook the drumsticks I took out of the freezer for dinner. I had three drumsticks and dipped in a combo of bbq and buffalo sauce (~1 tbs total), roasted cauliflower sprinkled with this new powdered cheese seasoning from Trader Joe’s (so yummy!), and 300g of cantaloupe for dessert. Breakfast and lunch was also yummy while being healthy too!
10/1 Did not post. Scale was weird and read 115 prior to my workout and then it read 116 after my workout.
10/2 Did not weigh today. Walked the nearby lake and hit the farmer’s market with my friend. Walked a total of 6ish miles total this morning. Food has been good and energy is improving as I continue to eat at maintenance and work on building strength/muscle.
Non scale victory: I made soup and had left over chicken for lunch today with a slice of bakery toast. I got full pretty quickly and didn’t feel the need to finish the soup. I think eating the chicken before everything helped a bit with satiety. Have a good weekend all!

10/3 Celebrated my mother in law’s birthday today with takeout from the 99’s. It was crazy to think back to how far she has come this year. Last year around this time she was gearing up for chemo with a lot of unknowns and now today she celebrated another birthday and hopefully many more cancer free ones. She’s truly an amazing woman and I’m so blessed to have her in my life and be able to live with both her and my father in law.
I wasn’t super hungry for the takeout, so it worked out and only ate about half, but I did have a nice piece of tiramisu. It’s all about balance right? I think I’ll be having something light for dinner because I’m just kind of tired today and not in the mood to make anything fancy. Have a good night!

10/4 117.4 or 6 after a weekend that was a touch high in salt. So, I’ll happily take it. Did a 2 mile walk this morning and yoga during lunch. The next couple of days I’ll be taking it a little easier because I had something medical wise this weekend and it was recommended to reduce strenuous activity for 4ish days afterwards. TOM is arriving within the next week, so this lines up well because my energy is usually a little lower anyways during the time leading up to it.
I treated myself to new headphones (thanks to credit card points balances), so I don’t have to fight with wires on my runs and I truly love them! The app that goes with them is awesome and allows you to choose from a ton of different presets based on the music genre you’re listening to. I never realized how different music could sound just by tweaking a couple things.
Breakfast consisted of two eggs, toast, and a protein shake. Lunch was plain Greek yogurt, a cut up peach and kashi go lean crunch sprinkled on top. I took out pork cutlets to sautee up for dinner with beets, corn, broccolini, and I forget what else I need to use up for produce in the fridge.

10/5 117.4 or 6 Didn’t end up posting this yesterday: The scale was spazzy this morning. Maintenance is going well. Breakfast was typical of the last week or so. I had an all day training that I had to listen to, so I was able to multi task with my wireless headphones on and clean up the place while also working. Got dishes done that were piling up and put away some other dishes and all the other little kitchen cleaning tasks.

10/6 117.6 Food was meh last night because we went for a walk before dinner and ended up getting take out because it got late. Luckily it didn’t do too much harm. This morning I did a 2 ½ mile walk and will start running again tomorrow morning. Dinner tonight will be what was planned for last night: steak with roasted potatoes and carrots.

10/7 118.2 Well hello there, TOM. Dinner went well last night and I went for a 3 mile run this morning that felt great! Today started with ginger and fennel tea and breakfast was typical, lunch was a honeycrisp apple with 35 g of sharp cheddar cheese. Currently hungry again but I'll wait until dinner because I have a meeting in 10 minutes. Dinner I think will be drumsticks and sides are to be determined too.

9/30 idk
10/1 idk
10/2 idk
10/3 idk I will weigh in in the morning
I got my vaccine second dose yesterday (Astrazenica) and honestly in just trying to eat wholesome to prepare my body for the shot I think I ate a little too much… and I slacked off. I think a huge part of my problem is that when I slack off I get discouraged and forget to dust myself off and get back up again.
I will weigh in tomorrow however good or bad the numbers may be - dust it off and try again!
10/4 266.54 ~ so I gained weight. Right before starting this I did a 3 day diet: we see those don’t keep it off! It’s about lifestyle changes! Let’s get it!
10/5 - 264.33 I left the missing pounds right out on the road yesterday! Yay! Let’s get it!
10/6 - 262.79lbs - how I’m losing in 2 pound intervals?! I don’t know, I’m not starving myself and honestly I will not complain. Check out the weight at the top…. By the end of this challenge if I would have dropped one pound from the start weight I’ll be happy! Thank you all so much for your encouragement… I could cry. Oh and I’m pmsing but my hope is still to finish very strong. I’m trying to break out of the 260s so bad! Let’s goooooo!
10/7 - 262.79, I can dig it! I’ll see if I can break start weight for tomorrow!

I was after an elusive 85 lbs loss 😂 but 83 will do me fine. (Now 84 😁)
• In Maintenance for over 2 years.
• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily. People are still dying out there………
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
October focus:

• maintain weight < 150 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
• Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale

I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Aims:

2021 Focus:

• Maintain weight < 150
• Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
• Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
• Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy

Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:

• 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
• 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
• 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
• That's a WIN in my book!
  
• 2021
• Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
  
• (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

9/30- 216.8back on track this week after gaining all of my weight back. Time to make a lifestyle change vs temporary change. Seems I need to always track to keep myself accountable.
10/1- 216.2
10/2- 215.4- had a good day yesterday, the weekends always seem to cause me trouble.
10/3- 214.6 - had a good day eating wise. I worked out extra hard since I knew I would have a couple drinks and it seemed to pay off!
10/4- 214.2- it was nice to see I can have a couple drinks and some pizza in moderation with working out and still lose. It’s all about balance. ❤️
10/5- 214.8- not sure how I gained since I was under in consumed calories and burned at least 800 in workouts. Hoping it’s just because of lack of sleep since I was up really late with my puking 3 year old 🤢
10/6- 213.8 - alright that’s better. I stayed with it yesterday vs getting frustrated and giving up
10/7- 213- I had a great day yesterday! Hoping I can carry that through the weekend

Day/Weight/Comment

9/29 - 145 - My husband starts his cancer maintenance treatments today. It's only 3 weekly treatments compared to the 6 week course he took over the summer, so I'm hoping I can keep my stress to a minimum and stay on track.
9/30 - 144.5 - I'm home from work today to keep an eye on my husband. He requested grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch which wasn't too bad for my diet. I'm just trying to keep away from the Halloween candy we have stashed in the cupboard.
10/1 - 144 - It's been 4 months since I've been at this weight. I'm sure it will bounce, but this will help my trend weight.
10/2 - 144.5- I got a little off track today with eating, although I got in plenty of exercise. I'll see how my weight reacts over the next few days.
10/3 - 145
10/4 - 145 - OK, I'm sticking to plan today and hoping the weekend doesn't catch up with me tomorrow.
10/5 - 144.5 - Yay, glad to see the little drop. My daughter's half sister is in town for a visit this week and they are stopping by our house for "Happy Hour" tonight. I will try to keep my calories to maintenance level with vodka and diet tonic.
10/6 - 145.5 - I'm hoping this gain is from the carbs and sodium in the Greek carry out food we had last night. I'll be drinking plenty of water today.

Round 164 (96th for me) . I still need this to help keep me on track, we go away again for a long weekend during this round so lets see how I do this time !!
@QuiltingJaine-thank you for setting up the new round.

Challenge for this round is to stay on track – Friday we are off for another elongated weekend away in our touring caravan, up to North East Yorkshire this time. Again for the major part I will be responsible for both choosing & providing food, a loss will be welcome – any loss will be a win!

Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” 2 months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/29 136.2 – 11.26 miles walked yesterday.
9/30 DNW - scale battery died ! 8.38 miles walked yesterday, good not within goals ?.
10/1 135 - new battery & I like it!! No walking yesterday, child minding little DGS and all day rain kept us indoors, food reasonable.
10/2. 135.6 - 6.64 miles walked yesterday after 3 hours in the car traveling up to Scarborough, temperatures are much more autumnal now than the previous fortnight we had, what a difference a week makes!!
10/3. 135.2 - 11.68 miles walked yesterday from the site into Scarborough along North shore to and around the castle, harbour along the South shore and then back before the rain came !! Food will within limits.
10/4. 135.2 - 14.22 miles, walked to and up Oliver's Mount to see the war memorial and the marvelous panoramic view over Scarborough before a well earned coffee at the top still sitting the view. Food well within limits.
10/5. 135.2 - 13.32 miles walked yesterday, along North Shore, all the way along South Shore and a little bit further on the coastal path before turning round and doing the return journey. We did stop on the way back for a Yorkshire cream tea, thought we deserved it!! Food still within calories.
10/6 136.8 - No structured walking yesterday as we packed up, travelled 3.5 hours back home & then unpacked and cleaned, did the laundry all ready for next time! Last “longer than a 2 night” break until Christmas – ahhr, I mentioned the “C” word !!
10/7 137.6 – oh dear, this is a wake up call!! 9.86 miles walked yesterday.
10/8 136 – 9.58 miles walked yesterday, back on track foodwise, need to stay in that groove now. 0.2 pounds down, better than nothing!

**********************************************
9/29 151.8 (trend 153.9) Starting this round with a drop is exciting but I don't think I'm going to change my goal weight, instead I think I'll track my trend weight this round too, to see if I learn anything from it. My trend weight drop last round was 3.2lbs, compared to the 2lbs change in scale weight I had. I spent most of yesterday at my mum's house restoring and refitting some skirting boards that were removed back last winter when her house got flooded. It was good to get it done so she can close that chapter and move on from it. Had a banana for breakfast and then nothing until 7pm as I was busy and didn't feel hungry so I ended up 200 under which might be why there's a drop today. Protein is concerning me, I'm thinking of changing my macros to reduce fat and raise protein, not sure if it'll work for me as I find fat really satiating but I'm worried about losing muscle and I don't want to reduce carbs any further as I get really lethargic when I go below 35%.

9/30 151.6 (trend 153.6) I went shopping for some new walking/trail running shoes yesterday, first time in clothes shops for about 18 months. I didn't find anything suitable so decided to browse for clothes, although I'm not really needing any as stuff I have that's been in storage is starting to fit me again. It was such a different experience to how I remember it in the past, I didn't cringe every time I saw my reflection and even tried on a few things and was surprised to find I'm down a jeans size and can fit medium size 12-14 jumpers without them clinging in all the wrong places! Went for an evening walk with hubby and a couple of drinks, gotta watch out, this is becoming a habit. Calories 100 over, binged a bit on cheese, ham and pickles and not enough veggies.

10/1 153.0 (trend 153.5) Biggest overnight gain that I've had in a while but I'm not surprised. I had cravings all day yesterday and felt really lethargic so didn't get any activity in. I started the day with eggs and a pear rather than my normal banana and rather than making me feel more satisfied it just triggered the munchies monster and nothing I ate would stop me from thinking about food. I wasn't even hungry, just wanted to snack snack snack. I was 200 cals over in the end so obviously not enough to cause a 1.4lb gain, but extra carbs and fibre are having lingering effects I guess. Feeling a bit disappointed with myself and worried that I might be subconsciously self sabotaging as I'm nearly at 30lbs lost and I had told myself when I get there I would start regularly visiting the gym, something I'm dreading. I must make sure I stay busy and stick to the plan today.

10/2 151.4 (trend 153.2) Steps 13,973 Well I decided that the best thing to do was not to wait until I hit 30lbs lost to start going to the gym in case it was leading to self sabotage, so straight after posting yesterday I chucked on my gym clothes and hot footed it down there before I had a chance to over think it and chicken out. First time I've been there in 2.5yrs and it was totally fine, I just walked on the treadmill for an hour at 3.8mph, I don't want to start any complicated fitness routine as my main focus is fat loss right now. Went out in the evening and calories were way over so I'm extra happy with the drop today.

10/3 153.0 (trend 153.2) I think this is going to be one of those bumpy rounds, time to stop staring at numbers and just trust the process.

10/4 150.8 (trend 152.9) Steps 10,450 That's exactly 30lbs lost! 🎉 went to the gym and did an hour fast walking while watching the London marathon for inspiration. Walking at 4.2mph is almost too fast for my short legs and I'm tempted to jog... but not quite there yet! Hubby spent the day batch cooking lots of different curries for the freezer, he's a bit annoyed that I won't be eating them too, I think it gives him joy to cook for me, but it's not what I want to be eating at the moment and I have to do what's right for me.

10/5 150.6 (trend 152.6) Didn't make it to the gym, couldn't get up early enough! I am aiming to build the habit of going first thing in the morning, leaving the house at 7am so I can be back for 8.30am. I'm very lucky that my gym is only a 5 minute walk away. I'm nearly at my first UGW of 150lbs but I think I'll wait until I am at a trend weight of 150 before I update my new UGW which I think will be 142.8, which represents being out of the overweight bmi category.

10/6 150.2 (trend 152.3) Steps 10,714 It was nice to go to the gym early yesterday, I was back before anyone else in the house was up so it didn't impact on the rest of my working day. In the evening however, after being very active all day, I was exhausted. Hubby finished his work at around 7pm and wanted us to go out to let off some steam but I really couldn't find the energy, so that was a bit of a let down, I guess compromises have to be made somewhere. Shared some Ben and Jerry's with my daughter as I was feeling shakey and low blood sugar, it was so good! High calorie day but thankfully it doesn't seem to have been a problem.

10/7 149.6 (trend 152.0) Had a busy morning working on the kitchen reno, can't wait to be done with all the cement dust! Ran out of energy by mid afternoon though so decided to listen to my body and take it easy for the rest of the day. Munched on protein and fast carbs to give me bit of a boost. It's great to finally be in the 140s especially since I've had ice cream two days in a row! Last time I was this light was Sept 2017, I have been looking back at pics from then and I looked pretty good, so that's really encouraging.

10/8 150.2 (trend 151.7) NSV yesterday, I dug out a bag of clothes that had been in storage in the attic for 4 years, mainly jeans and dresses, and pretty much everything fits me (some slightly too loose or tight). So I now have tons of 'new' clothes to wear for autumn and winter and some summer stuff in case we go away somewhere hot for Christmas. I have another bag of tops and coats up there but I think it's all much smaller stuff, I'll check later. Not surprised to have an uptick today, no TMI and I had a carby day yesterday. I hit my goal weight and trend goal weight so that's great! Good luck for the weekend, see you all in 165 x

Round 163 EW: 229 lbs
Round 164 GW: 226 lbs
Round 164 goals: work out at least 30 mins every day, drink 2 litres water daily, fast 16 hours a day, no alcohol

Day/Weight/Comment:
9/29 – 229.4 – Had a salty dinner but stayed under my calorie goal and worked out for 30 minutes. No alcohol.
9/30 – 227.6 – Wasn’t expecting this drop, but I’m not complaining! Did pretty well yesterday, stayed under my calorie goal and worked out for 30 mins. No alcohol.
10/1 – 228 – I went wayyy over my calorie goal yesterday and I didn’t exercise. No alcohol. I will try to have an extra healthy day today to make up for it.
10/2 – 227 – I did not have a healthy dinner but still stayed under my calorie goal. No exercise. No alcohol. Nervous about our anniversary dinner tonight and hoping I can make good choices while still enjoying myself. Fingers crossed!
10/3 – 228.4 - Weigh in after night out for 3 year anniversary – Well, my food choices at dinner last night were actually ok but I ruined it with too much wine! Another night out tonight unless the weather doesn’t get any better in which case I’ll stay in and eat healthy.
10/4 – 228 - Weigh in after night out to comedy club – Great night out meeting new people. I had some naughty treats but did fine overall. Still hoping to hit my round goal!
10/5 – 229.2 – Ugh! I ate really well yesterday so I’m guessing this is a delay from the weekend. I will keep pushing forward!
10/6 - 227.8 – So happy with this number! I ate under my calorie goal yesterday and did two workouts.
10/7 – 226.2 – Yesterday went great, ate under my calorie goal and finished my meals early. Did a walking workout and yoga.
10/8 – 226 – I’m so pleased that I met my round goal! I had a healthy lunch yesterday but a not so healthy dinner and I didn’t work out so I’m glad that didn’t show up in the scales today. On to the next round!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day/Weight/Comment

Previous days

9/29 73.4kg (161.88) No change is better than gain Autumn is finally here, leaves are falling, it's pouring down and windy. Time to make some soups !
9/30 73.4kg (161.8) Still no change, I ate maybe too many carbs yesterday, but nothing major, I'm happy with a status quo as I'm not really exercising, I do some yoga in the morning and go everywhere by ebike but that's more like a brisk walk than anything, well except yesterday when my battery was flat, that was some workout lol Yesterday evening, I switched my summer/winter clothes and I was happy to find clothes are easy to get into or a bit big so that's a nice. I'll wait till the January sales to get some new clothes, I'm hoping to drop a size (or two ) between now and then !
10/1 73.4kg (161.8 / - 0.0lbs) And again no change Kept to low carb but probably too many calories. Although I'm seeing a difference in body shape with the cycling and I'm happy about that. Also I'm surprised that my inflammation from Rheumatoid Arthritis has nearly gone, I had heard it could be one of the positive aspects of going low carb but I didn't expect such a quick and dramatic change. The swelling and pain in my hands were the first to go but more surprisingly I've had inflammation in my ribcage for nearly 6 months and now I can also breath without pain. So it looks like I'll be adopting keto WOL for the long term. If I could loose weight too that would be a definite winner
10/2 73.4 (161.8 / -0.0lbs) The day went well but I had a dinner at friends that evening, we had sushi to compensate for my vegetarian side, I didn't feel I could impose Keto on them either, I also treated myself to a slice of cake while I was at it lol
10/3 DNW - wanted to spend my Sunday blissfully unaware of the consequences of the day before
10/4 74.3 (163.8 / +2.0lbs) yep there it is lol Even though yesterday I was very attentive to stay below 20g carb I still managed to gain from that one day slip, but you can't stop going out and seeing friends because of diet I've planned to commute by bike all week except tomorrow when I'm taking my dad to hospital and I'm going to try to fit in the gym as well to do some cardio and weights. I'm hoping things will get back into enough of a routine that I can go more regularly to the gym on my lunch hour during the week.
10/5 74.2 (163.6 / -0.2lbs) Slight drop, I was very good with carbs yesterday but not very active as only did my usual bike commute. Today I'm taking my dad to hospital appointments therefore I'm by car, I was stuck in traffic for 40 minutes (3 km) looking at all the cyclists going by with envy lol. We're getting the results of my dad's biopsies this afternoon and we'll know if it is confirmed as cancer or not, crossing fingers. I'm hoping to not fall into stress eating by the end of the day!
10/6: 73.2kg (161.3 / -2.3lbs) Yesterday turned out to be a rotten day, for my dad they confirmed the diagnostic as a tumour in the oesophagus. He now has to undergo a battery of exams to see if it's spread and what kind of treatment he can handle with all his other health issues. We'll know what in a couple of week. Of course I didn't eat much and then around 10pm ended up trying to run for the 1st time since I broke my ankle, ended up more hobbling along, I never thought I'd say it but gosh I miss running, especially in moments like this! I put on all of my current extra weight when my mum had cancer and subsequently died about 5 years ago, I just compensated with food. It's going to be a battle to keep myself in check.

10/8 DNW but I think I gained, I've been feeling bloated these last couple of days and although I've kept eating low carb I haven't had time to track calories. I was in a hurry this morning (I overslept as I had a bad night) and it was more a question of rushing out the door than weighing myself. I'm not really sure what's best, to put the last known weight or end the round on a DNW, what do you normally do? For this time I'll put the last known weight

Round 164 SW 161.8 EW 161.3 = -0.5 lbs / 73.4-73.2 = -0.2 kg

Day/Weight/Comment

9/29 - 145 - My husband starts his cancer maintenance treatments today. It's only 3 weekly treatments compared to the 6 week course he took over the summer, so I'm hoping I can keep my stress to a minimum and stay on track.
9/30 - 144.5 - I'm home from work today to keep an eye on my husband. He requested grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch which wasn't too bad for my diet. I'm just trying to keep away from the Halloween candy we have stashed in the cupboard.
10/1 - 144 - It's been 4 months since I've been at this weight. I'm sure it will bounce, but this will help my trend weight.
10/2 - 144.5- I got a little off track today with eating, although I got in plenty of exercise. I'll see how my weight reacts over the next few days.
10/3 - 145
10/4 - 145 - OK, I'm sticking to plan today and hoping the weekend doesn't catch up with me tomorrow.
10/5 - 144.5 - Yay, glad to see the little drop. My daughter's half sister is in town for a visit this week and they are stopping by our house for "Happy Hour" tonight. I will try to keep my calories to maintenance level with vodka and diet tonic.
10/6 - 145.5 - I'm hoping this gain is from the carbs and sodium in the Greek carry out food we had last night. I'll be drinking plenty of water today.
10/7 - 145
10/8 - 145 - I'll take a half pound loss for the round and be happy with it! See you next round!

8/10. . . 144.8 (-0.8) I thought this was my worst round ever, but had a big finish I guess! It's sure getting more difficult to lose weight. 18.8 pounds from goal weight, though I suspect I will need to lose a little more than anticipated, given the amount of excess flesh I still seem to be sporting. See everybody in round 165! Might cut myself some slack and reduce the amount I try to lose each week by eating a bit more and cutting back on the exercise a little, just until I feel less tired.
