8/31: 224.4
9/01: 224.3 MFP says I should weigh 216 in 5 wks.; at this rate, I don't see it happening!
9/02: 223.8 I like this. Now, if I can only get it to keep going down! Got more sleep last night.
9/03: 224.3
The battle is not over!
9/04: 222.8 Lord, I thank You! Lowest number I've seen in a long, long time! Hope this gets to be a habit!
9/05: Didn't get to weigh today! Had a doctor's appointment in Atlanta this morning (2.5 hrs. from home), but when I weighed at the dr's office, I weighed 223.8 fully dressed minus shoes! I'll take that! Ate Mrs. Winner's Chicken today!
. Tomorrow is another day!
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!

- Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
- A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
- A high sodium day usually results in water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.
You are making positive lifestyle changes which will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!
@TerriRichardson112 fantastic advice and just what I need to hear right now, also people should remember that muscle pain can also cause temp water weight gains so if you are working your butt off and your muscles are aching, you have to wait till that pain goes before you see your hard work on the scale.
So many factors to take into account inc waste in the system !
well done on your loss so far and wow what a round you are having 10 -
I just love this group...

We all like to see those big drops at the scale but it doesn't consistently work out that way. I'll repeat something my dr told me: If you can just eat 250 cals less than maintenance a day that equals a loss of 1 lb every 2 weeks which is a 26 lb loss in a year. I know, not glamourous and it requires playing the long game but you don't have to kill yourself exercising to the extreme or starve yourself to lose. You mostly need a goal and patience. Remember, weight fluctuations are not the end of the world they are a part of the weight loss journey for everyone. So repeat after me: I believe in my ability to lose weight and keep it off.20

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.

8/31 - 226.0 -starting off with a nice even number! Looking forward to pushing myself the next 10 days! Going to the gym today before going out of town for 3 days. I have my meals all planned and will get a chicken salad if going out for food. I will be drinking at least 5 bottles of water.
9/01 - 226.6 - expected it to go up as I did not make it to the gym and ate some salty bacon wrapped pork and perogies - I portioned it though! I am going out of town the next few days and won't be able to exercise so I will focus on trying to eat healthy and hopefully will come back weighing less than 226.6. I am bring my scale as well to weigh my food. I will look for a scale to weigh myself but if I don't find one I'll be back on the 5th!
9/02 - no scale -out of town
9/03 - no scale - out of town
9/04 -226.2!!!! Omg first time ever where i have gone on a trip and not come back weighing 5-10lbs more because I binged on everything! Im in shock!!! I ate out most meals but ordered either a wrap or salad. I treated myself to a traditional milkshake and a piece of chocolate cake to help with TOM cravings. I felt crappy after. Wow. Feeling super motivated to keep moving the numbers down on the scale rather than having to play catch up!!!!!
9/05 - 225.2! Lowest yet. Feeling great to be back into my routine. Went to the gym. Did groceries. Will hopefully get some meal prep done (If baby allows it) and maybe go for a little walk down our waterfront. I'm going to try to get down another 0.5-1lbs before the end of this challenge! I'm realizing my goal of losing 3lbs in 10 days may not be realistic/healthy so for next round I will bump it down to 2.
9/06 - 223.4 . Wow big jump!!! Probably due to a little dehydration from the gym (although I drank 125oz of water). My weight in for the Biggest Loser challenge tomorrow so hoping to maintain! I went to the gym yesterday and 4.5km walk. Heading to the gym now and picking up a few more groceries to make a few recipes I picked out. We are going on a mini honeymoon in 10 days so hoping to lose as much as I can before then and keep it off! I'm also almost at my goal weight for this 10 day challenge!

9/6 - 160 - Sweet! I may actually hit goal this round! Regardless...this number is encouraging since I had a difficult time getting back on track yesterday after The Great Labor Day Weekend Binge of 2017. Just the boost I needed to get back to my new normal.

So the past two days I've been sick. Like so sick with some sort of flu or something. And I think I'm going to have to get some Pedilyte or something because I'm getting really dehydrated even though I'm chugging water. I haven't exercised and I've been eating healthy and hydrating foods. If this keeps up thru the weekend you best believe I'm going to the doctor. On the plus side, it might be why I've lost weight...
9/01: 129.2
I have nothing to say. I can't give any credit to myself. It will probably come back when I feel better. Still feeling a icky.
9/02: 129.2
Still sick. Now I've decided to be more positive about the weight loss though. I am going to say that it will stay off when I get better, because I want it to!
9/03: 128.4
Yep. Still not doing anything except creeping ever so slowly to death.
9/04: 128.4
Woke up today feeling slightly better!!! Finally!!! Now I can start trying to eat healthy again...I've not been making calorie count most days and on the days that I have it's been with horrific foods. I have poor self control when I'm ill.
9/05: Ate breakfast before I remembered to weigh in.
9/06: 128.4
Omg I can't believe I've been in the 120s for a whole week. Saw my neurologist yesterday and he commented on my weight loss without me saying anything. He said I looked like a completely different person and so much younger.

I'm back!! Starting a day late on this round, we returned from our road trip last night. Much food I normally don't eat was consumed (think Poutine, Smoked meat, crepes...LOTs of wine LOL) so I know most of the reason I'm way up is that. I kept my breakfasts and lunches lighter so I could splurge at dinner....
So here goes 9 days of trying to get rid of the water bloat so I can see what the real damage was.
SW in March - 182.4
GW- 150 - I think I will re-evaluate when I get there...I'm not sure I'll be done...
Day/Weight/Comment
8/31 - no scale
9/01 - 157.4 - Results of our trip to Ottawa and Montreal. Also TOM started yesterday so this is a double Whammy. Going on a trail run this morning and will drink lots of water and get back to my regular meal routine.
9/02 - 156.8 - starting to shed some bloat. I already feel better being back to my routine for just one day.
9/03 - 155.4 - chipping away at the bloat
9/04 - 153.6 - many trips to the bathroom yesterday...shedding the vacay and TOM gains. I doubt there will be much more "easy" loss....but getting back on track with some meal prep and routine with the boys starting back to school tomorrow. Want to get to my 150 goal by the end of Sept, hopefully sooner.
9/05 - 154.0 - low energy and didn't do well with getting my water in yesterday.
9/06 - 153.4 - I have a feeling I'm going to bounce around a couple of lbs for a bit then then whoosh it out. Great day yesterday! And I've already got my run and an express kettlebell work out in today...feels great to get back into a routine with the kids back at school.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31 - 185.6
9/01 - 185.6 Well at least I'm consistent. I'm surprised at this number because I feel super bloated and heavy. Plus, I didn't eat very good yesterday and didn't drink enough water. I totally expected to be 187 or so this morning. I'm excited to see the scale go down once I get rid of this water weight!
9/02 - 184! Umm what?! Well, happy birthday to me! I got on the scale totally thinking (in a snarky sarcastic voice)..."ok here we go..187"- insert eye roll too - my jaw hit the floor when I saw 184! I ate a calzone at 11:30 last night too so I was expecting a gain..but nope! And yes, I stepped back on that scale mutliple times to be sure! Hahahaha!! Let's hope it stays this way. I'm guessing not because we have some bday activities planned that involve food...so yeah.
9/03 - 185.6 I knew that I'd be higher today because we went to the a food festival for my bday and ate a lot! Good news is I got my 10,000 steps in yesterday...bad news is I feel so hung-over, not from alcohol but from the lack of water and all the carbs and sugar!
9/04 - 187.8 Ugh I gave myself way too much leeway with eating yesterday and didn't drink enough water. I wasn't even going to get on the scale. Lol! Here's to a better day! I'd love to see 184 again by the end of this challenge!
9/05 - 188.9 - Nooooo...definitely the wrong direction but it must be water weight because I certainly didn't eat very good over the weekend but I didn't eat enough to gain THAT much weight!
9/06 - 185.6 Much better! I drank a lot of water yesterday and stayed under my calorie and carb goal. This seems to be number of the week. 4 out of 7 days! Hahaha!

We all like to see those big drops at the scale but it doesn't consistently work out that way. I'll repeat something my dr told me: If you can just eat 250 cals less than maintenance a day that equals a loss of 1 lb every 2 weeks which is a 26 lb loss in a year. I know, not glamourous and it requires playing the long game but you don't have to kill yourself exercising to the extreme or starve yourself to lose. You mostly need a goal and patience. Remember, weight fluctuations are not the end of the world they are a part of the weight loss journey for everyone. So repeat after me: I believe in my ability to lose weight and keep it off.
Great advice! Trust the process! ♡

9/4: 153.4 Hope this trend continues
9/5: 153.6 I'll take that. I'd like to keep my number below 154 for this round.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31 - 194.4 I ate very late last night and the night before the 192.7 weight I had eaten almost no dinner. Timing of meals impacts the morning weigh in, but not enough to make me go hungry. I had a nice chuck roast that came out of the rotisserie right as I walked in the door at 9:15. Medium rare, just a little crispy on the edges, fresh sliced tomatoes and a little mashed potatoes on the side. Yum. And still in calorie limit for the day.
9/01 - 193.6 Busy day yesterday. Did not get to exercise. Worked until 11:00. (Usually I am a nine to fiver-er.) This may be the food description round for me, because today I want to wax eloquent about Popeye's Fried Chicken, which I have found I can eat in moderation. I split a breast between lunch and dinner, and I still have a chicken wing for my lunch today. Surprised the sodium in the side and biscuit did not send me up, but I was very diligent on a high water intake. Actually I do not have to write about fried chicken because someone already has: Ode to Fried Chicken
9/02 - 193.6 I am surprised by this. I expected to be up a little. I'm not complaining mind you. Quite a disappointing day yesterday as there was nothing magnificent to eat. Leftovers and snacking. Not very good fodder for a food description themed round.
9/03 - 193.6 Worked all day yesterday. I'm in the office now. I thought this was supposed to be a three day weekend for us in the USA. I did have a yummy Greek salad yesterday and healthy snacks of tasty little cherry tomatoes and watermelon chunks. When I went home I roasted up some chicken thighs with cumin, cayenne and cilantro, sides of corn and broccoli. Food is good. If today goes as planned I will have something for you tomorrow.
9/04 - 193.6 Four days in a row same weight. I know my scale will not change the weight read out if the variance is just a little. I wonder how long I can keep this going? Often I get my husband to step on the scale, just so it will give me a fresh reading as his weight is higher and 'resets' it. In delicious food news, last night I went home from another weekend day working in the office
and cooked up a lovely prime rib. Tried a new method. Roasted it at 500 degrees for 5 minutes time the weight, then left it in the oven for two hours. Do not touch the oven door; leave it closed. It worked. I had a perfect medium rare rib roast. That will be a large part of dinner most of the next week as it is just DH and I.
9/05 - 193.8 Horrible day yesterday. No magnificent foods at all. Spent the day helping my daughter clean her apartment, change rooms and move in a new roommate, then I went to the office and worked. Not only did I not have a three day weekend, I did not have a weekend at all. (Whine!) Considering that both my meals came from drive thrus, I will not complain about my scale weight today. We are preparing to be prepared for Miss Irma if she decides to stick on her path and visit us. Hope you all have a good day.
9/06 - 193.1 Yesterday was not a bad day considering how much time I spent on storm prep. Got a run in last night at 9. Breakfast was a wonderful yogurt parfait with berries and granola, had a half banana mid morning, and lunch was a salad with lots of veggies, turkey and asiago cheese. Yum. Had a sliver of Sunday's rib roast for dinner with some nuts. Weird food combo, but tasty.

Round 15 SW: 229.0
Round 15 Goal: 227
Day/Weight/Comment
8/31- 229.0 - hopefully the 230s are gone for good. No exercise last night because I was exhausted. Stayed under calories though.
9/01- 229.8 - I hung out with a friend last night and binged. Hard. I'm going to attempt to put something in my diary, but I'm not entirely sure that I can account for all that I ate last night. I feel pretty gross this morning as a result. But - I'm still under 230 and today is a new day. Going to push water because there will undoubtedly much bloat from sodium.
9/02 - 228.4 - new low! Guess I didn't do too much damage after all!
9/03 - 228.4 - I'll always take staying put over the yo-yo.
9/04 - 227.2 - Wow! I really didn't exist extra that at all! We will see if it holds.
9/05 - 227.0 - I already hit my goal for this round! Wow. I'm glad to see that my efforts are finally producing some real results. I just want to make sure I don't start losing too fast!
9/06 - 227.0 - I'm good with hanging out here. Still amazed. Just going to keep doing what I'm doing since I know it works.

Last round’s “mid-weight” was a bit up because of a logging hiatus for 4 days but it ended at a new low so hoping for more normalcy this round and ending it nicely down in the 250s. Goal for this round is no drama! CICO!!
Round 8/1: HW 274.4 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
Round 10/3: HW 269 LW 266.4 MidW = 267.7
Round 11/4: HW 267.4 LW 264.2 MidW = 265.8
Round 12/5: HW 264.8 LW 261.2 MidW = 263.0
Round 13/6: HW 263.8 LW 260.6 MidW = 262.2
Round 14/7: HW 266.4 LW 259.2 MidW = 262.8
8/31 359.4 -- How nice to start out a challenge in the 250s. The top of the 250s but I’ll take it!
9/01 261.2 -- Not unexpected. Ate a commercial pizza sodium bomb and snacked away any deficit. Back to normal today and aiming toward a low sodium day, too. Lots of water to be drunk..
9/02 260.4 -- (Speaking firmly to myself) Heidi, don’t get cocky and think you can double up the deficit the day after you blow through it. You only lose control and snack right through it again!! The new normal is fragile. It must compete with lifelong dietary hubris!
9/03 259.4 -- Back to normal eating. A hearty brunch around noon, perhaps a mid-afternoon fruity snack, a hearty supper, a bit of an evening snack -- all within calories.
9/04 258.6 -- Ahhhh … CICO … self-satisfied smile
9/05 258.0 --That’s 25 pounds down! Yay!!
9/06 258.4 -- A bit salty yesterday.

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.
04/09 - 228.2

I BELIEVE IN MY ABILITY TO LOSE WEIGHT AND KEEP IT OFF11 -

I'll repeat something my dr told me: If you can just eat 250 cals less than maintenance a day that equals a loss of 1 lb every 2 weeks which is a 26 lb loss in a year. I know, not glamourous and it requires playing the long game but you don't have to kill yourself exercising to the extreme or starve yourself to lose. You mostly need a goal and patience. Remember, weight fluctuations are not the end of the world they are a part of the weight loss journey for everyone. So repeat after me: I believe in my ability to lose weight and keep it off.
Thanks for that! I need to remember slow and steady is the way to do it.
I have officially adopted this mantra. Thank you.7
