JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 15

I am definitley in! This group has been such a motivation to me. Last round was really difficult between having the flu and TOM being here. I've also found it incredibly hard to do my 30 minutes of biking 5 days a week since school started back up. When I get home from work, I am completely exhausted from molding little minds all day, yet I still have to help my own 3 children with their homework, cook dinner, pack lunches, and it usually isn't until 8 that I get to sit down. I need to be able to figure out how to fit exercise back in. I thought about mornings, but I get up at 5:30 as is to get my oldest on the bus and as soon as he leaves, I wake up my youngest to get him out the door. (Staggard busing here.) When he leaves, I leave for work. Any suggestions?

Round 15 SW 178.6
Round 15 GW: 178
UGW: 125

08/31: 178.6 I am back to where I started last round. Lol

09/01: 179.6 I am at a plateau. That's okay though. I'll keep walking, eating right, and drinking my H2O.

09/02: 177 Woo Hoo!!!! I have lost 25 lbs. now, and I met my goal and then some. I met last week's goal.

09/03: 176.8 Yes!!!! A little bit more has come off. I have been walking a lot more than I ever have before. My water intake was awful yesterday because I was gone all day running errands. I need to up my game today for that. I was under my calories but not by much either.

09/04: 176.6 I am losing a bit at a time. Still had a rough day with water, but I did better than I did the day before. I ate well though and plan to go biking with my husband this morning.

09/05: 176.8 My day started off well with a healthy breakfast, and I went on a 6 mile bike ride with my husband. Then, I barely touched water, skipped practically every meal, and ate a high carb and high sodium meal last night. I must admit, the dinner and the skipping of meals was a really bad choice. Did I fall off the wagon? No, it was almost 10 at night when I finally had my dinner because I spent all day in the hospital with my Mom. My Mom in this instance is my mother-in-law for clarification. She is battling lung cancer and could barely breathe. I sent a text to check on her and knew something was wrong. My husband and I rushed her to the hospital to find out she has developed pneumonia. It was a difficult Labor Day to say the least, and she will be there for I don't know how long.

09/06: 176.4 Slow and steady wins the race. A friend of my brother's asked me to pull over yesterday. He said he asked my brother who I was, and he said it was his sister. His buddy said that is not your sister. My brother told him about my weight loss journey, and the guy just had to tell me that I was looking really good. Awesome validation for all of my hard work.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31: 192.8 – didn’t eat enough yesterday. But still walked a lot.
9/01: 192.2 – Ate over cals yesterday. I made a big mistake the other day not eating enough, because I am so tired and drained now that I ate too much and didn’t work out. I am looking forward to this 3 day weekend!
9/02: 191.8 – Ate good calorie wise yesterday, over on the sugar, but treated myself! Walked our normal 3.25 mile route. Really happy with my results lately. I can’t believe I’m knocking on the 180’s door! I’ll have to buy some new clothes soon.
9/03: 191.4 – kind of a lazy day yesterday. I will get moving today.
9/04: 191.2 – Walked A LOT yesterday. Ate a little high on calories, hubby and I walked to the local burger joint (1.2 miles one way) and had a couple beers and split a burger and fries. Shopped and got some new work pants a size smaller! Woo!
9/05: 191 – the day after a long weekend. So tired! I just wish I could sleep a couple more hours. Ate a little extra yesterday, but not derailed by any means. And I hit my R15 goal!
9/06: 192 – Some bad food choices catching up. Goal today is to drink lots of water and get my food back on track and walk.

Back again! I started last round at 144.4 and finished at 142.4 so happy. I'm looking to get to 141 or below without bouncing back. I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Slow going but better than nothing. I'm at roughly .5 a week loss.

We are all champs!
Day/Weight/Comment
8/30 142.4
8/31 142 ....45 ellip and gym yesterday! Yeah me!
9/01 142 and holding... for now. 1 hr weeding and 30 ellip yesterday. Ate smart but had a late night snack, something I never do but seemed like a good idea at the time. LOL today: gym and ellip.. Happy Friday All, stay strong.
9/02 142.4 Made it to gym and an aqua aerobics class but kinda blew it later. It's ok. The scale will go back down. I'm off to the forest for a couple days so hiking will be good change from ellip. I hope to come back in the 1's. Have a great holiday weekend (for those in the States).
9/03 no scale
9/04 no scale
9/05 144.2 Well, that hurts. Rained until morning we were leaving and so we ate in restaurants which never helps. Last night on way home had Chinese. Hoping this is mostly, or all, water weight. Lemon water and maybe to gym.

9/06 142.2 That's better. No exercise since I had a phlebotomy yesterday and losing 500 cc's of blood makes that out of the question. Ate reasonably and drank some lemon water. 3 days to get in the 141's.

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.
05/9 - 199.4 - not surprised, I'm not moving!! looks like this round is a wash out - went to bed earlier as I seem to be mostly pain free there.
06/9 - 198 -

9/06: 222.4 I definitely like this number! Got my exercise in this morning! Went over my allotted calories by 28 pts. yesterday! Plan to stay on target today! I've got 3 days to reach my goal for this round!

Round 15 SW 136.6

Goal for Round 15 is to log my food every day and hopefully get to 134.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31 136.4 Ran for 4 miles
9/01 137 45 Minutes circuit training at the gym
9/02 136.2 No exercise but lots of walking around a theme park
9/03 137.8 Ran for 10 miles. Yesterday was a calorie disaster. Was at a theme park with $1 days on all the junk food + Chinese food for dinner. Have planned out my meals for today and will eat some of my exercise calories and not worry about it because the 10 miler burned over a 1,000 calories.
9/04 138.6 Did a 3 hour hike with friends and family. Ate my exercise calories and even so was out of calories before dinner so I just quit eating for the day.
9/05 138.6 Ran for 3 miles. Have my meals planned out and for the day. I really feel like I'm just slowly backpedaling here as far as the weight goes.
9/06 138.2 Circuit training at the gym for 45 minutes. Stuck to my food plan yesterday until the end of the day when I noshed down on an Almond Joy, a Skor bar, and a huge slice of ice cream cake. DOH! My husband brings home bagfuls of candy all the time. And I was so hungry in the day yesterday. I think I'll have to eat some of my exercise calories to avoid binges like that.

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
9/05 204.4! Gotta love cheat days! Lol
9/06 201.8 did leg day yesterday and watched what I ate.
