JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 15

SheilaBoneham · September 2017

Ultimate goal - 135 & more muscle
Weight 2/21/15 - 218.2
Goal for #15 (my first round) - 150
Goal for 2018 - 135

8/31 - 151.8

9/1 - 151 Got my walk and stretching in.

9/2 - 150.8
Forest fires in the mountains have laid a thick blanket of smoke over us, and the temp is going to the high 90s-100 today through Tues., so I won't be walking outdoors. Stretching & weights, and maybe some jumping jacks.

9/3 - 150.8
Went out to eat yesterday, so I'm not surprised - just happy I didn't gain water weight. The smoke is terrible today, so no outdoor acidity, and I don't plan to do anything other than stretching indoors - we don't have ac and can smell smoke even with the windows closed.

9/4 - 151
Who knows?

9/5 - 152.2
This isn't fat - I went on a bit of a binge last night, so more sodium (and food) than usual. I'll not binge today :-)

9/6 - 152
A bit discouraging, but considering that our terrible air quality the past week (ranging from "Unhealthy" to "Hazardous") has kept me from my normal 60-120 minutes of walking every day, I guess holding steady isn't a bad thing. I'm averaging 1750 calories/day and really don't want to go much lower (and get hangry!), so I'll just ride it out. We may get a little rain this afternoon, which may settle some of the smoke for a while. We need a few days of rain to put out the fires. So sad for Oregon - sort of puts a few ounces or pounds in perspective.

9/7 - 151.8
Full circle! The air is a bit better today and I hope to get a little walking in. I've gone over my calorie goal several times this week - all good, healthful food, but a bit more than I intended. Still, I think that once the air clears and I get back to regular walking, I should lose. Not gaining is a good thing!

9/8 - 151.8
The smoke is coming back, but I got a nice 5-miles walk in this morning while the air was clear from last night's rain. Interested to see that my weight has come back down despite my calories being ~100 higher that planned per day. I write mysteries, but those plot lines pale compared to the mysteries of losing weight!

9/9 -

Also, I have joined a transformation gym and am participating in their six week challenge. This will definitely be a challenge! Clean eating, intense workouts (5 required weekly), no alcohol and weekly weigh ins along with personal counseling. The reason I’m explaining this is that they do not want participants weighing at home, only at the weekly weigh ins on their equipment. I have learned a bunch about my body doing this and logging it and feel like I can be in control when I do it. But I’m going to follow the guidelines of the challenge and not do daily weigh ins for the six weeks. I’ll still be logging and doing my weekly check ins on the app! And I might even check in with this challenge group because I like it so much.

@shnookie70 I look forward to hearing how your 6 weeks go, I hope you get the results you are looking for, as said above check in and let us all know how you are doing and good luck

Yay! Ready for my third round with this glorious group!

Round 15:
SW: 165.6
GW: 164.2

Round 13: SW 167.6, EW 166.4 (-1.2 lb), LW 165.4, HW 168.4, AVG 167.4

Round 14: SW 166.4, EW 165.6 (-0.8 lb),
LW 165.6, HW 167.2, AVG 166.2

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31: 165.8 Normal fluctuation. Did not want to weigh today - late night snack attack. Somehow thought a dinner of carrots and hummus would be enough. Wrong! Lesson learned.

9/01: 165.2 New 2-year low!

Will not overdo it this holiday weekend!

9/02: 164.6 Nice! 10-day average is now under 166. Yay!

9/03: 164.4 Note to self: This is NOT a free pass to overindulge at tomorrow's BBQ.

Me.

9/04: 163.6 Fourth consecutive day of loss. Really liking this trend! Been doing less cardio and more strength exercises.

9/05: 163.8 Normal fluctuation. Still under goal for this round and seventh day out of the 166's. Yay!

9/06: 164.2 Ignoring this one as I weighed much earlier than usual. Plus only got a couple hours of sleep so my little organs didn't get time to do their jobs. Let's see what tomorrow brings!

9/07: 164.0 Under round goal weight, so I'll take it. 10-day average is now under 165. Yay!

9/08: 164.4 Day 7 out of 165s. Woot-woot! Slightly disappointed the 163s didn't stick around for my Friday team challenge weigh-in, but glad to have seen them this week nonetheless.

9/09

I believe in my ability to MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES, to LOSE WEIGHT, and KEEP IT OFF!

@junodog1 Where in Florida are you? So many friends and family down there! Sending prayers to all.

@NormaV14 And where are you? I have family and friends scattered all over the state. 7 years living in Palm Beach county growing up gave me respect for hurricanes!

@rtls I used to treat myself to a fat free sugar free Starbucks periodically when doing Weight Watchers. Just don't do it daily AND get the smallest size. Their website has/had a thing where you could customize your beverage and get accurate nutritional info.

I am out in the country, between Clermont and Leesburg. Lake County is NW of Orlando. We are in the hot zone today. Hopefully this track will shift again.....

Round 14 ended at 258.4

Original start weight 267
Current weight 258.4
Ultimate goal weight 160

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31 258.8 - ate a little too many carbs yesterday i think
9/01 258.4 - not much to say, just doing all the stuff i need to do
9/02 258.6 - got fast food for dinner last night. to be honest, the fries were awesome tasting (but potatoes are always awesome in my book), but nothing else was really. didn't taste that good, and i didn't feel full or satisfied at all. as i eat better, i can literally feel that all that fast food stuff is just empty calories. i also didn't walk at all yesterday, but sometimes, i need the extra sleep. got the family some bowling balls, going to try to start adding in some weekend bowling for a little exercise.
9/03 258.4 - saturday is my "free" day so i am glad there is still a downward trend.
9/04
9/05
9/06
9/07 258.2 no idea, about the rest of the week, been dealing with the impending hurricane. at least it is still kinda down, but a lot of stress eating this weeks, plus not getting the time to make healthy stuff for dinner or lunch. ugh
9/08 dunno. didnt weight myself this morning, had to get into work to clean up some stuff before getting everything boarded up.

I would love to lose 2kg (4lb) or close to it.

Day/Weight/Comment

8/31 - 227.5

9/01 - 226.6 im actually really happy with this. 2 days super clean eating and no exercise those days either.

9/02 - 227.0 hmmm so this is either from my breakfast i went overboard on for fathers day or the fact my monthly has arrived. I havent been tracking long enough yet to know if this makes a difference on the scales but we will see.

9/03 - 225.9

9/04 - 225.3 Very happy with this. 80% clean eating yesterday i did treat myself to 2 cookies.

9/05 - 224.4 again no exercise but I am sticking to my calories. Yah very happy!!

9/06 - 224.2

9/07 - 223.9 im surprised I still had a loss. overall I ate a lot of crap yesterday but wasn't too far over calorie goal.

JenObRN · September 2017

9/8-140.6lbs. That's better. But I didn't do much at all yesterday due to headache. By the time I started feeling better, I decided to drink the rest of my calories. Ugh.

Ok, I know we aren't supposed to do this, but I weighed myself again when I woke up from my long nap ( I work tonight). But anyway...I'm 139.6 lbs! I hit my goal! Yes! I end up weighing my self all different times because of my crazy work schedule,

TilKingdomCome · September 2017

Currently doing 5:2

R13 SW - 71.2kg (157)
R14 SW - 71.5kg (157.6)
R15 SW - 72.2kg (159.2)

It looks like I’ve gone up since starting this challenge but last round I reached my goal of 69 something however timing was bad and I had travel for work which included a lot of functions and drinking so I’m confident this ‘gain’ will come down this round after I get back into 5:2.

R15 Goal - 69kg something (152.2 - 154.1)

8/31 - 72.2kg (159.2) - a lot is water weight so trying not to stress. No exercise and have had a big couple of days of eating out and drinking due to work trip.

9/01 - 71.5kg (157.6)

9/02 - 72.2kg (159.2) - pizza last night

9/03 - 72.9kg (160.7)

9/04 - 72.8kg (160.5)

9/05 - 71.5kg (157.6) - work travel has really played havoc with me this week. Need to get back to the 60s quickly to feel better about myself.

9/06 - 71.3kg (157.2)

9/07 - 70.9kg (156.3) - don’t think I’m going to make my goal. Friday dinner is always out

9/08 - 72.1kg (159) - can’t win at the moment, just one of those things

9/09 - 72kg (158.7) - didn’t end this round that well and next round will be similar as my husband comes ‘home’ for a visit and there will be lots of wine before we head to Bali for a week

8/31 – 267.4 I knew the scale was tripping yesterday.
Goals met.

9/01 – 266.6 Plenty of sleep last night. I did better with boredom and turning to food.
Goals met.

9/02 – 267.6 Woke up feeling not so great but hit the gym anyway and I am so glad I did.
TOM is very soon. Goals met.

9/03 – 266.6 Boing, boing. LOL Today’s meals and snacks are all pre-logged and I still have
calories to spare for adding an extra snack of veggies and fruits. Goals met.

9/04 – 267.6 Meals pre-logged again. No gym time today because they are closed.

9/05 – 266.8 Down, up, down, repeat seems to be this week’s theme. Goals met.
I had a good workout.

9/06 – 265.8 Looking forward to today’s workout. I had another good workout. Did use about 1/3 of my exercise calories. Goals met.

9/07 – 264.6 I pre logged breakfast and dinner. I have no idea what I will have for lunch but I have a couple of options that will easily fit into my calorie goal.

9/08 – 264.6 Spent most of today traveling. I won’t meet step goal, but I did great on the rest of my daily goals.

SO this has helped everyone....to weigh in everyday? .... Is it more for accountability daily?

@missionhercules I think it is a personal choice. It can be hard seeing it bounce up and down. This is just my second round participating, but I am starting to see a pattern to my weight loss that otherwise I would have never seen. I also find it helps me to stay accountable by sharing daily.

Arkie_Ali · September 2017

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.
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.
9/6: 152.6 I wasn't expecting that at all. I even had ice cream after dinner last night

9/7: 152.0 Woohoo! The real trick is keeping the lower number as I head into the weekend

9/8: 152.8 Works for me!

Aim: To never rise above 195 ever again!!!
Short-Term Goal weight: To be 188.0 by Oct 19th. (A special day).

8/21 - 196.4

8/29 - 192.8
8/30 - 193.4

I plan to do the same for this round. Goal Weight: 190.4

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31 - 193 I pay dearly for cheat days. Even if I don't do too badly, I'm bloated for 2-3 days. I'm so sad that I'm not likely to see the number I wanted for my Birthday because of 1 weak moment. But I'll keep being good and see what happens. At least I'm not too far off my goal for Sept.
9/01 - 191.8 I'm ecstatic! (This was recorded this morning on my mom's scale which is more accurate than mine and it has made my day!!!)
9/02 - 193.6 I should have known this was coming. I was WAY over my calories yesterday because my friends all took me out to celebrate my Birthday. I had a shwarma plate (spicy meat with loads of rice and sauce etc) for the first time and ice cream for dessert. That would have been bad enough but THEN I ate fries for dinner with my husband. So I'm bloated and feeling gross this morning. I won't be able to weigh for the next 2 days due to the fact that I'm away. So I'm hoping to be back to my low number by then!
9/03 - No Scale Did ok with my calorie to exercise ratio yesterday. Ate way too many carbs though.
9/04 - No Scale Completely went WILD like over 4000 cals wild yesterday. I'm expecting to pay for that when I get back home.
9/05 - No Scale Completely went wild again, but a little less so, I was only about 2000 over my limit because I shared EVERYTHING I ate yesterday, so my portions stayed small. Tomorrow will be the BIG reveal... I'm trying to be good today to flush a bit of water out of my system before then. (TOM is still visiting as well, so that doesn't help)
9/06 - 195.4 I know that about 2 Lbs of this is water weight from TOM and all of my cheating from the past 3 days, but I also calculate that about 2 Lbs of it is real weight that I've gained back. I'm working really hard today to NOT make the same mistakes I made yesterday (snacking on sugary things). I'm drinking water and avoiding snacking. I want to at least see the 193 again before this round is over!!!
9/07 - 194.6 Lost a bit of the water-weight (Yay!). I'll try to keep this trend up!
9/08 - 194.0 Headed in the right direction. Leaving on Vacation today. I will have no scale tomorrow. I'm going to assume that this round is a wash and try again for the next round! I know I will need to be very mindful of how much I eat and the quality of food i'm eating while on vacation. It will be a real challenge because I LOVE my food, but I am confident I can do it!
9/09 - No Scale

R14 SW-160.38
Current weight-158.4
10 Day Goal: Want to get into 157's.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31- 158.4 Still holding steady here. I am beyond sick right now, with no actual care what I eat.
9/01- 158.14 This is probably from being sick not actual loss.
9/02- 157.3 Again due to illness not actual loss.
9/03- 156.86 Feeling better today, but still a bit weak. I expect to see a rise in my weight over the next few days now that I'll be eating regularly.
9/04- 157.08 I expected some gain, so I'm fine with this. Hopefully it won't go up much more. I've been super busy but sticking to my calories.
9/05- 156.42 I wasn't expecting this number and think it might just be a fluke. lol Today was a good day for me. I managed to walk a mile, which I haven't done in a very long time.
9/06- 156.86 I was hungry all day today, but I managed to limit my snacks. Another mile complete.
9/07-156.86 So I had a cry today when I realized everyone got a yummy Starbucks except me. Then husband and I got into an argument because I don't want to go out to eat. I see no point in going to a restaurant when I can't order what I actually want to eat. So mentally not having a great day. Maintaining calories.
9/08- 155.76 After yesterday, I decided I needed a cheat day, or rather meal. The food was decadent and worth any small setback that may come because of it. I guesstimate I went over my calories by about 250. (probably around maintenance) Tomorrow I'm back on track determined to lose this weight.

Terilynn78 · September 2017

@quiltingjaine I just try to stay under 110-150 carbs and keep my protein intake higher. I don't crave as many sweets or get as hungry when I do this. It's not full-on keto, that low of carbs definitely doesn't agree with me. I need to have a moderate amount to keep my energy up.

Thanks for your comment!

Derpy_Hooves · September 2017

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
9/05: 64.7kg - same as yesterday, which is fine
9/06: 64.7kg - patience patience patience...
9/07: 64.3kg - that's better!
9/08: 64.3kg - same as yesterday, hoping for a woosh to finish this round tomorrow
9/09: 64.6kg - trying to be rational about this but I'm so disappointed

Total loss this round: 1.3kg.

That's over 2% loss in 10 days. Fantastic, in my opinion!

Do you think you might be being a tad hard on yourself?

You're doing great. Keep up the good work!

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..

9/05 - 190 This morning this happened, I really don't know if it's real or not.

9/06 - 188.8 Yup, it was real! Hooray for wooshes!

9/07 - 188.8 Wow, truly in the 180's... I took out my fall clothes and they are all hanging off me, sucks that I have to go shopping for new clothes

9/08 - 188.8 I like this number but not that much!

9/09 - 189 that's a 1.6 pound loss this round! Considering the rollercoaster ride I was on this is awesome!

See you in round 16!

Slimpossible007 · September 2017

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 - I managed a slow slow shuffle when at the dentist today, I couldn't sit in the waiting room chair due to the pain so I shuffled up and down outside till it was my turn. about 20 mins. cals low.
07/9 - 196.6 - 1/4 mile walking in circles at a snails pace cals low drank water.
08/9 - 197 - so happy to be getting further away from the 200's again, I feared jumping back into them.
09/9 - 197 - well this could have been so much worse, I have to celebrate finishing 0.2lbs lower than I started, even with my back / leg pain

However my average weight between R14 and R15 has gone up .. basically due to back and leg pain causing the water weight and the gain in the middle of the 10 days ... I'm thinakful I did not jump up over the 200 mark again .. it took so much effort to get under that .. !!!

I have a docs appointment set for Thursday so I will hopefully be able to find what the issue is and get it sorted.

onto R16 and hoping we all have a great round

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
05/09 - 227.8
06/09 - 227.8
07/09 - 229 TOM and salty turkey legs for dinner.... could not resist. Onward and downward. I am in the process of making a collage of empowering notes to stick by my computer / bed / and favourite chair where I watch TV. I will see how it affects my eating habits.

Goal weight 130
Round 14 SW 142.6
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.
9/07 137.2 - No exercise. Just felt like a rest day for once! Yesterday I consciously tried to drink a glass of water every hour in the day. Wow, I was peeing like a race horse! I'm typically really bad about drinking water and live in a constant state of dehydration. Today I've planned my meals out. Have been busy running around doing errands so haven't felt hungry yet. Not going to meet my goal weight for this round, but I am on the right path and feeling determined.
9/08 136.6 - Well, I'm at least back at my starting point for this round. If I end a little under this I'll call that a win. Did 45 minutes of circuit training at the gym and have my meals planned out for the day. Yesterday was a good day. Hunger pangs didn't kick in. I think it helped that I was busy all day and really didn't have time to pine for a snack. I'm making a conscious effect to keep drinking water.
9/09 136.2 - Well, I ended up a little under my starting weight, so I'm definitely happy with that. Have my meals planned for the day and will do a 30 min run and some gardening for exercise. See you all in round 16!

August 30: 193.8 lbs

8/31 - 192.7.-- great! I was kinda expecting to gain weight because I overate dinner, of all meals! Good thing I still lost a pound. Will surely exercise more control today.

9/01 - 193.6 -- uh-oh! This is what I've been afraid of! The other night was a little bit over my allowance, bit last night was really a problem. And today I'll be going out for another gathering! Hope I can still manage.

9/02 - 193-- the struggle is real! I'm glad I didn't gain weight but not minding just 2 of my meals is really scary. Still halfway of my 191.5 target.

9/03 - 194.5 -- I woke up feeling heavy so I was expecting this. But it's still disappointing. o'm disappointed with myself. Just 3 days ago, I was 192.7, and now, 4th day on my challenge, I'm already 2lbs heavier. I hope this is just water weight.

9/04 - 193 -- hmm, so the weight gain must really have been from water retention.

9/05 - 192.9 -- slowly getting there

9/06 - 193.8 -- water weight again I guess.

9/07 - 191.2 -- wow! I can't believe my eyes but this is what the scales are really showing. Finally got out of the 193-194 seesaw, even reached my target goal of 191.5 yey!

9/08 - 190.5 -- can't describe my glee. 1lb lower than my target. But weekends' coming up and need to have more control than ever. I can do this!

9/09 - 189.6 -- looking back at the start of this challenge, I wasn't expecting that I'll end up with this number. Now challenging myself to lose more. Round 16, here I come!

Total loss for this challenge: 4.2 lbs

Target: 191.5 lbs (changed to 190)... Both goals reached!!!

nikki062181 · September 2017

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.

09/07: 176.4 HOLDING STEADY!

09/08: 176!!! Woot Woot!!!! I'm starting to get really excited. I think it's about how close the 175 is getting. I'm glad I'm still eating healthy even if this week has been hard with Mom in the hospital.

09/09: 174.4 OMGOSH! MIND BLOWN! I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS AT ALL DURING THIS ROUND. LOVE THE BUG WHOOSH!

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!

9/07: 223.1 I have two days to make my goal of 220, but if I don't, I'm still happy with the numbers this round! Today's plan: DRINK MORE WATER! I slacked off some yesterday.

9/08: 223.5 Oh well, tomorrow is another day! I like what I'm doing!

9/09: 222.6 Oh yes! may not be my goal, but (in my Tony The Tiger voice) it's G-r-r-r-e-e-a-a-t!!!!!!!

Round 15

SW 161.9
Goal for ground 15 159.0

8/31 - 161.9 - yesterday was hard and today will be too - back to school which means inservice - lots of sitting in one spot and feeling hungry to stay awake yet no motivation to work out when you get home. Hopefully I can do something physical tonight.
9/1 161.2 not bad considering yesterday was inservice, I sat all day, didn't work out, and had Wendy's for lunch
9/2 161.3 - had almost 20,000 steps yesterday but went and had a pretty calorie dense dinner because it was cold and I wanted potato soup so overall not bad!!
9/3 161.3 - had a lot of steps but no actual exercise, also stayed around my calories even around date night with hubby - hopefully today's exercise makes a difference on the scale tomorrow morning
9/4 160.2 ahhhhh!! Getting close to 159's!! Going to have to keep up the activity this week because it's my mom's birthday on Wednesday and we will have cake, plus we are celebrating with the family on Thursday. MUST keep up the activity!!
9/5 160.7 ???? Had picnic food but also major activity and a bit of s stomach bug...not sure about the gain?
9/6 161.3 - yesterday was the first day of school plus Labor Day leftovers plus 16,000 steps on high heels leading to sore legs - we will see how this goes...
9/7 161.0 - had an extra long day, salty dinner, cake for mom's birthday...I'll take it
9/8 161.7 - cake and pizza and did not reach 10,000 steps yesterday
9/9 162.4 - I was off the rails the last few days and hope to get back to normal now that birthday celebrations are over

ehseeker · September 2017

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.
9/07 141.4 Yes! Reached goal for this round; now to stay here. Lots of protein yesterday and some lemon water... my fav bev. Need to get some exercise today.
9/08 142.4 Nooooo. God, my body loves this number. Well, no exercise all week. Just restricting cals doesn't do it for me. Tonight is pizza night at my house - so I don't have to cook. I'll limit to one slice and salad.

9/09 142 Well, I did hit goal for this round, just didn't stay there. It's all good. I'm down .4 for this round despite no exercise for days due to rainy camping, phlebotomy and general busy-ness blanching and freezing veggies. Thought I'd weigh more today as I made refrigerator pickled beets and ate a good portion before they even had a chance to cool.

So many carbs but oh so good. Any who, basically happy and off to Irish Fest today so will get some walking and chasing 2 year old in. See you all in Round 16! To quote RL Stevenson: Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 15
