Downfall is the actual hunger I've been feeling. Not cravings, actual hunger pangs and growling. It is very difficult to ignore. We ate dinner early yesterday 4PM, because I was hangry! It was BBQ ribs and veggies. It satiated me for about 2 hrs but then I was getting the hunger pangs again. I ended up going to a new local restaurant and ordered a small molten lava cake (of course they had no idea of the nutritional value except that was gluten-free. So I just did some searches and went with what looked like middle of the road for kcal. Then I went home and had some gluten-free, organic corn chips with salsa. I ate very healthy first 3/4 of th day though.
Are you trying to maintain too big a deficit? Maybe you need to change what you eat for sating your hunger.

9/02: 238 (ok so my bffs bday weekend continued with going to a buffet last night which I didn't want to decline because it was her bday weekend so I just tried my hardest to go with healthier choices which I guess paid off. If you get the salad first it really fills you.)

@junodog1 @HeidiCooksSupper @frida001 guys you made me cry, I agonize over all you guys statistics and it's worse when they are mine. This gain is entirely expected because the doctor took me off my diuretic. I'm just having a hard time dealing with it, I'll feel better when I start losing again. It's sort of like finding out your scale has been weighing 5 pounds light and you have to re-lose the weigh. My fat content hasn't changed, just my water baseline.
If you were here in the same room, I'd give you a BBBBIIIIGGGG HUG!!!!5 -

I don't know. Today will be the first day I am not going over my allowed calorie intake which I have actually set for 1500 something. I originally was trying to do 1200. I worked out actually for a couple of hours today 40 minutes walking on the treadmill then 20 minutes running on the treadmill then some weight training. I am just about to eat dinner here about 8:30 PM. I know it's late but we just got home from church. I would be way below my allowed calorie count if I did not eat my dinner right now. And I do work nights (3 12-hr shifts), so it's not unusual for me to eat at night.
I have my log open if you want to look at it...4 -
I lost motivation last round and got discouraged with not much changing. Wiping the slate clean and starting again with this challenge (although I'm a day late!)
Start weight for Round 15: 155.2
Goal Weight for Round 15: 154
Ultimate goal weight: Somewhere around 125
8/31: Didn't weigh in (started this challenge a day late)
9/1: 155.2
9/2: 153.2 This was a whoosh after TOM. Lets hope it stays
9/3: 154.2 Not bad. Ate a little over today, but I really enjoyed my day at the lake.

I don't think that can be bought over the counter in the UK ... the heat packs I am using and hot baths are giving me relief thou. SO I am managing to get some sleep now. If it persists I will see what the doc prescribes!

I know those two 195 weights were flukes but I am chasing them anyway!!
SW, 212 (highest recorded weight) I've no idea what my highest weight was!
R09, SW 203.4 - mean weight - 201.4
R10, SW 200.4 - mean weight - 201.1
R11, SW 200.6 - mean weight - 200.2
R12, SW 199.4 - mean weight - 197.7
R13, SW 195.4 - mean weight - 198.4
R14, SW 195.0 - mean weight - 197.2
R15, SW 197.2 -
goal for R13 R14 R15 to get under and make being under 196lbs permanent
so it seems that getting under 196 (14 stone) is proving just as difficult at getting out of the 200's was!!
3rd round lucky!!!
UGW 140
30/8 - 197.2 - pulled a muscle or strained something anyway (really not sure how or what I have done but its painful and I am struggling to even walk or get a decent nights sleep, drank my water and stayed under my calories, due to being un-able to exercise I think the calories are even more important
31/8 - 198.8 - back in pain all day so I kept the calories low, its really all I can do at the moment!
01/9 - 197 - back in a lot of pain
02/9 - 198.4 - 6000 steps (pushing myself to see if it will help my back)
03/9 - 198.4 - OK so that didn't help!! now the pain has spread into my legs also -- rest it has to be!!
04/9 - 198.6 - I've decided to drop my calories for the next week, 1300 sounds fair, I am basically sedentary at the moment.

31/8 // 212.5 // Focusing on controlling those snacks at night. So far I've stuck to my meal plan 2/3 days this week. It's great until I get home. Burnt stir fry this morning so I'll have to buy lunch today. AND it's food market day. Will see how it goes. I actually dropped 1.7 lbs between Round 3 and Round 14. Maybe I'll set -1.7 as my goal for this round... slow and steady. WAVES to all who check in today.
1/9 // 213.2 // FRIDAY - Day one of my sugar detox. Was late for work and missed the usual breakfast so I bought jerky to snack on. Which is cool because usually I'd opt for chips.
2/9 //NWI

4/9 // 212.5 // MONDAY - I was disappointed when I saw the number on the scale but looking at the last weigh in I dropped a little since Friday.

Second round for me. This round will be a challenge itself as before my period I have irrational cravings. If I get through them without gaining weight then it will be already a complete challenge!
R14: start 61.3, end 60.9, average, 61.0 (-0.4kg)
R15: goal 60.5 kg (New Goal 9/04: get under 61 kg)
Ultimate goal: 57 kg
8/31 61.0 - cravings started yesterday evening. I I went out to meet some dear friends, ordered salad and water, but still felt hungry after that. Then ordered nachos (boo)! Thankfully that the scale showed only +0.1kg . Hope I can start running soon, as I am healed from last week's cold.
9/01 61.1 - chaotic day, had a lot of stuff to do. I ate when I could, and what I could find.
9/02 61.2 - chaotic day #2. Felt very tired and ice cream was my friend in need.
9/03 61.5 - Darn, last night I ate out, a little bit too much bread, but my oh my it was goood! The kind of food that is worth the extra weight and 10km it needs to loose the wieght.
9/04 61.4 - NEW goal for this round: get under 61. I am still happy to be in the 61s as 66 was my fiend for a while.

@40lbslighter I got the idea from @GrandmaJackie It takes up less space on the screen, and anyone who is interested can read what's hidden.
I'm in again and determined to redress the damage done on vacation last round.

Round 15 Target weight: 162
30/8/2017: 163 A week's holiday last round put me up a bit again, but have already lost 2/3 of it.31/9/2017: 162 Yes!!! Goals ✅ Another one bites the dust. Overdid the sodium yesterday, but drank extra water to flush it out.4/9/2017: 163.4 Goals ✅ Small drop. Back on track. Just a couple of slack days have consequences.
1/9/2017: 156.6 or 164.2 I got both readings this morning, and a whole lot in between. Scale is being temperamental. I moved it all over the joint, changed the batteries, still going haywire. Goals ✅ Did a lot of sitting at the computer, may not have hydrated enough. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Technology can be annoying!
2/9/2017: 162.2 Phew! Scale has settled down again! Goals ✅ Had a good workout 1st thing. Lots of water. Sticking to my goals and daily plan.
2/9/2017: 163.8 I was expecting that. Goals ✅ apart from a minor blowout on chocolate after dinner. Drank lots of water early in the day, but forgot to combat the sodium in lunch/dinner later in the day. Live and Learn!

Main target this round (and most likely the next round) is to lose the weight I gained over the holidays...
8/31: 65.9kg - same as yesterday
9/01: 65.5kg - in a good flow, accurate logging and firmly back in the (spinning) saddle
9/02: 65.3kg - can't wait to see the back of 65kg again
9/03: 64.8kg - wow, super happy with this, looks like I'm dropping it as quick as I put it on
9/04: 64.7kg - struggled yesterday, but determined to keep this up

02/09 - 228.6 Yesterday i had a regular smoothie for breakfast at 6 am. I couldn't eat again until 6:20 pm due to work commitments. I was so busy that I couldn't stop to eat. If I had consciously decided to fast, I would have focused on food and failed. Yet because I was focused on getting through all my tasks, I looked past the hunger (which was not as bad as a normal "can't think until I eat" day) and for once food was not THE priority. I can look at this "experiment" a few ways. 1. All my life I am mentally unchallenged so food relieves the tedium. 2. Food is a fuel not a reward. 3. I can control the times I refuel by need and not desire. 4. Get passionate about life and not endure until the next scheduled fueling point. * I am addicted to flavours hence the doorway to overeating. If I like the flavour my brain goes "more please". Chocolate, stewed meats, homemade bread, peanut butter and cheddar cheese, cake and baked mac and cheese. Sigh.
So let's see how busy I can be today. I don't work on weekends so major challenge here.
03/09 - 228.8 actually rode my stationery for 30 minutes yesterday. Second time in last six months. Felt good.

Round 15 I would like to be in the 180s. I realize that eliminating the water pill from my medications, signalling better health, will probably usher in a water weight gain as my body gets used to normalcy again. I hope I deal with it gracefully...
Welcome Back Friends!!
8/31 - 191.6 Well I knew it was coming, the weight gain from eliminating the water pill. I'm on a liquid diet from oral surgery, stacked 2 cord of wood yesterday and came in with a significant calorie deficit so this is definitely fluid in some capacity.
9/01 - 192.4 Day 3 of liquid diet, I seem to be salt and carb loading. Today I can start soft foods for two weeks, at least I have more choices. When it's all over I'll have a brilliant smile, it won't erase the memories but it will erase the daily reminder of a time I would rather forget. On a better note, my bp without the water pill is still running around 110/70 and I see the Dr in 6 weeks, hopefully I'll be in a downward trend by then and he can eliminate more meds. Sorry for the grind guys... feeling the stress of the scale going up when I'm on point.
9/02 - 191.8 Went over on calories but still under maintenance, pretty sure that bottle of wine isn't included in a liquid diet. Crawled out of bed at 11:30 pm and staggered around the block in my pajamas because I was at 8900 steps, and I didn't want to break my 10000 step streak. Not sure if my loss is dehydration or that my fluids have finally levelled out.
9/03 - 194 I have no words
9/04 - 192.4 okay better..12 -
44-year-old female
This is my first round...
Sw- 141 lbs
This round goal - 130's
UGW- 120 lbs
8/31 - ugh ! 143. Lbs - why?? Why did I gain? I'm going through a bad flare with my Hashimoto's. Makes my joints hurt terribly. But been measuring everythingI eat and everything is non-gluten and organic. I have increased my water intake and get my exercise in. Boo hoo!
9/01- 141.6 lbs - did no exercise at all yesterday as I somehow hurt my back. Can't even take a big breath.
9/02 - 141.6. Hubby and I went to dinner and a movie last night. I ate 1800 kcal yesterday, didn't get my steps in and didn't work out due to my back injury. Back is doing better today, so I'm going to take the dog on a nice walk and start my day off right! Morning ya'll!
9/03 - 141.6. Omg! How can I have three days of the exact same weight?? Got my steps in, my water in, and, light weights for back as it's recovering from an injury. Walked the dog for 30 minutes through our hilly neighborhood. Ran 20 minutes on the treadmill. Then I crazy-danced for a bout 10 minutes because I didn't want to stop moving because I LOVE early 90's dance music. Then abs and back workout.
Downfall is the actual hunger I've been feeling. Not cravings, actual hunger pangs and growling. It is very difficult to ignore. We ate dinner early yesterday 4PM, because I was hangry! It was BBQ ribs and veggies. It satiated me for about 2 hrs but then I was getting the hunger pangs again. I ended up going to a new local restaurant and ordered a small molten lava cake (of course they had no idea of the nutritional value except that was gluten-free. So I just did some searches and went with what looked like middle of the road for kcal. Then I went home and had some gluten-free, organic corn chips with salsa. I ate very healthy first 3/4 of th day though.
9/4 - 142.4! Ok, I'm trying not to be upset. This is where I think weighing every day can be harmful. I feel like I did everything so great yesterday, yet I gained .8 oz. I measured and tracked everything single morsel/drop that I ate/drank. I ate just over 1300 kcal. I worked out very hard yesterday, I am pleasantly sore in just about every muscle of my body. I really felt like I had a near perfect day. When I saved my diary, it actually said if I kept up a day like yesterday, I'd be down to 131-something in 5 weeks.
Now, we did eat dinner late last night. About 8:30 pm as we were at church late. I did get up earlier than I normally would today and weighed as I need to take a longish nap today because I work a 12-hr shift tonight starting at 7p.
As I said, I'm trying not to be upset because otherwise I feel good this morning and am proud of my eating and workout accomplishments.
Ok, eta. Just looked at my diary and I did consume too much sodium yesterday. Probably not where I should be with my protein either. I will try to improve this today
Also I really didn't have any hunger issues yesterday.5 -
This is my second round!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31- 202.6 yesterday I was finally able to eat some food after two days of having awful strep throat. I still have it but the antibiotics is working. I can't go to the gym because now my son and husband are sick.
9/01 202.6- I officially caught my sons cold. My throat feels better but I'm still on antibiotics. Man I can't catch a break from all this sickness!
9/02- 200.8 yesterday I did lifting. Didn't have much of an appetite because of my cold and sore throat.
9/03- 200.8 yesterday I watched what I ate and didn't workout.
9/04- 202.4 ugh I'm going to blame this on the bad eating of doughnuts and lack of water. Oh and I didn't workout
