Day/Weight/Comment
9/10: 165.6 Ewwww. The 165s reared it's ugly head. I'm sure this has *nothing * at all to do with yesterday's Mexican food.
9/11: 165.6 Whew. Could have been worse. Planned to ride my bicycle to watch football but woke up too late. Ate too much. Drank too many calories. First day over 2000 calories in nearly two months, so it's OK.
9/12: 165.0 Alright self, three days of crap eating is enough. Get back to business!
9/13: 164.8 Creeping back down.
9/14: 163.2 Oh please, oh please 163s, stick around for my Friday team challenge weigh-ins!
9/15: 162.8 Thank you, Scale Fairy, for delivering this gift of a new low on team weigh-in day. Yay! Going to do the 162 dance all day today!
9/16: 162.4 Ggggooooaaaalllll! Apparently burned extra calories doing the "162 Dance" yesterday.
9/17: 162.6 Normal bump. If I make it over to watch football today, I fully expect (and deserve) a 1 lb+ water gain tomorrow. All is well.
9/18: 163.0 There's my sodium friends from yesterday! Plus my monthly friend decided to visit a few days early. TOM always brings some extra luggage.
However, average over last 10 days is now under 164. Woohoo!
9/19
Move more, friends
I believe in my ability to MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES, to LOSE WEIGHT, and KEEP IT OFF!

SW on April 9, 2017 #268.2 Started the Ketogentics Lifestyle
Lost 30lbs with no weight loss (stalled) for 4 weeks..
RD1/SW 9/9/17- 238.6
9/10= 237.6 Wow..I haven't lost any weight in a month. I've been bouncing up and down with the same dang 2lbs. It was driving me crazy. You guys are my lucky charm! Thank you!
9/11= Well back to that same old ugly #238.6. I swear my scale must be broken to stay that # for 4 weeks. I know I lost 1# yesterday but here it is again!! Wth!! Oh.. I'm not giving up yet! Stupid scale!! You are just not my friend sometimes
9/12=238.6 OMG..Really? Really? At least I know how to maintain?? grrrr!! Don't want to maintain..I want to get way past this number. I think I'm going to try Intermittent Fasting. See if that will work on getting me past this number...finally. I will start tomorrow since I've already had my Keto Coffee. Yummers!!
9/13= 237.0 OH YEAH!! Haven't started I.F yet. But I did eat a lot more protein yesterday but net carbs was only 3. Hhmm?? Maybe I need more protein and even less carbs. I will do the same today and see if I lose again. Interesting!! I will soon have no more diabetes. I quit taking my metformin 2 weeks after I started Keto when I knew this would be my new life style. Keto has dropped my A1C from 6.9 to 6.4 in 3 months. No meds and only Keto. Keep your chins up and your body and mind happy!!
9/14= 236.3 Yep..increase my protein again and another loss. I guess you just need to play around with your macros to figure out what your numbers really are. Not everyone is going to be the exact. Happy Girl!
9/15= 236.3 OK with the that! Ate dinner late and up early.
9/16= 236.3 Ate way over my calories yesterday and Went to bed around 2am this morning then up at 6:30am. So.. yea!! No gain!
9/17= 236.3
9/18= 235.8 Yes. Slowly but surely. Lost almost 2lbs in 8 days. I guess that's not too slow Even had a Chocolate Cheesecake Low Carb Mug Cake with my own whipped topping. It was delicious!! Pinterest has so many Low Carb/Keto recipes. I love making something new every few days.

9/13 choose not to weigh. Had a horrible day yesterday of binge eating. :-/ But I'm on track today. One day at a time.
9/14 181.5 I don't really know why I'm binge eating. My husband is gone for at least 3 days every week and that's usually when I do it. I am so embarrassed and humiliated over my binge eating. You all are the only people who know I do it. My sweet husband knows I've done it in the past but I haven't told him about my recent 'episodes.' I get in these kinda depressed states and then binge, feel HORRIBLE, then do it again!! Besides getting trigger foods out of the house, I'm going to make it more public. I'm just going to keep track of how long I can go without a lapse. Thanks for listening.

9/10 - Hurricane Irma
9/11 - Hurricane Irma
9/12 - 133 so I am a bit off since Hurricane Irma. Living in So. Fl most of the year, I have been a little preoccupied - cooped up in the house with nothing to do, but cook, eat and watch a hurricane. I finally got to the gym today, but did not log. Hopefully tomorrow I will be back on track and back on goal. We are all fine and if the worst thing that happened to me was gaining a little weight, a few lost screens and trees, I'll take it! On ward and upward (or downward preferably)
9/13 - 132.8 trying to get to the gym today. I feel like it's a struggle right now. But I'll be good.
9/14 - 131.6 got to the gym yesterday and ran 4.5 miles today. Still have not logged. I will start right now.
9/15 - 131.2
9/16 - 131.8 I am definitely not on task like I should be. Very sporadic.
9/17 - 133.4 struggling
9/18 - did not weigh today. I did work out. But didn't log. Hopefully, I'll get my act together sooner than later.

Starting weight 2012: 201
Starting weight 2017: 184
9/18: One Seventy Five
The app says I've averaged right around 1400 calories the last two weeks, but no loss. I am meticulous in weighing and logging. Maintenance for me should be around 1700 or more. Stay the course... Maybe I'll go down to 1300 calories.
9/19
I hear your frustration. Are you sure everything is being measured and counted right? Are you weighing everything? For example, did you really weigh out 40 grams of avocado for your seitan sandwich? Was the cheddar cheese slice really exactly 1 ounce (28 grams)?
I'm asking because I've found that weight the exact grams of things, especially calorie dense things, really helps me make a better estimate of how many calories I'm eating. I see a lot of 1 ounce and other standard measures in your diary. If you look at my breakfasts for the last couple days, you'll see that today I had .86 of an ounce of cheese in my eggs and yesterday I had 1.1 ounces. I used the scale to weigh the chunk of cheese I hacked off and divided the number of grams by 28 to get a more exact measure. I used the scale to weigh exactly 15 grams of cream into the eggs to make sure I wasn't over pouring. I'm less exact measuring things like low cal fresh veggies. I'll eyeball parsley, for example.
Of course, another factor could just be hormonal cycles hiding any weight loss. Two weeks is not a long time when the normal female cycle is twice that.
Best wishes to you. We're all here in the same boat bailing as fast a we can! wink.4 -
Starting weight (Nov 2016): 202.2
Round 16 SW: 159.6
GW1: 142
9/10: 159.6/I'm very disappointed with this weight. Ate very poorly yesterday for the first time in over 40 days. Yesterday I was at 158. Ate well and went swimming today. Hopefully, I'll be back down tomorrow!
9/11: 160.2/Still disappointed. I feel like I'm paying the price for poor eating on Saturday. I ate under my goal yesterday and will be just under my goal today. Hopefully, things will start looking up again.
9/12: 158/Finally back to where I was on Saturday! Hopefully it's onward and downward from here! Ate under calories yesterday. Need to go to the gym today!
9/13: 157.8/Really loved the WOOSH yesterday and glad it's sticking around! Did make it to the gym yesterday but only did weights. Didn't have the energy for cardio. Will try to do both today! Stayed within calorie goal but went over by 50g in carbs yesterday. And had a square of apple pie today . I'll make sure to stay in my calorie range today despite the treat!
9/14: 157/Started weighing everyday for this challenge, so I downloaded the Happy Scale app to track the trend. I'm curious to see what it'll show once it has more data points. Stayed within calories yesterday but didn't go to the gym. I will go today! Packed my gym clothes and everything. Did a tad better with water but have to drink more today.
9/15: 157/Stayed at 157...I'm glad it's not going up! Ate well and did both weights and cardio yesterday. Ate all right up until now today but going to a work bar thing which may deadly. Fingers crossed that I don't go over in calories too much, especially because I have a reunion brunch on Sunday with grad school friends.
9/16 156.2/This is crazy...I actually expected an increase because I had alcohol and pizza yesterday (just 20 over my calories, but expected water retention). I imagine it's a fluke. I guess I'll see tomorrow...before going to brunch, eek!
9/17: 156.4/I'm happy. Logged this weight in my progress tracker. Probably going to see an uptick tomorrow because of eating restaurant food for brunch today.
9/18: 157.8/Meh, not pleased. Hoping it's water retention but who knows. Did some circuit training today and ate within calories. Struggling to get all my protein in. One more day until round 17 ladies and gents!

Special focus: Trying new at home exercises on my non-gym days.
Daily Goals: Log all food, 3L of water, 10k steps, Multi-vitamin
MWS Goals: 25 mins Cardio, Strength Training
Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 26 264.4
The bounce back up. I am learning my body will bounce around for several days and then drop again. Goals met. Tried out a 15-minute exercise video on YouTube. I will add it to my routine on my non-gym days for this round.
9/11 263.6
Goals met. I had a really good day at the gym. I pushed myself harder during cardio and I lifted more weight in my strength training circuit.
9/12 261.6
Today is 2 months since I started logging my calories and making changes in relation to food and exercise. This isn’t the first time, but this time is permanent. I made these changes not because I knew I should, for someone else, etc. Not that any of those reasons are bad; they just weren’t good enough for me to make permanent changes. I made them because I no longer wanted to mistreat my body; I had a reality check of how my life would be if I continued. I went to the gym on my non-gym day. I didn’t push myself and just stretched everything out to help some of the soreness. I met all my goals except taking my vitamins. Oops.
9/13 262.0
I expected this for two reasons: 1) It was the second woosh in less than a week and 2) I am having some soreness. I am super happy with this number. Goals met. It was a good day at the gym. I had so much going on I thought about skipping and going tomorrow, but then I realized I just needed to go.
9/14 261.0
Goals met. Tried out a fitnessblender video and enjoyed it. I love how easy it is to find different things to try.
9/15 262.4
Went over calories by less than 100; all other goals met. Did another fitnessblender video.
9/16 263.0
Didn’t sleep well; a lot of leg soreness and tightness. Unable to go to the gym today but will stay active and get in a workout at home. Spent the day out with family doing shopping and other things. We went to our favorite Mexican restaurant and I am proud that I didn’t overeat and stayed with calorie goal for the day. Did 25 minutes of exercise/ strength training even though I didn’t make it to the gym. Calling it goals met.
9/17 264.0
Ugh. I know fluctuations are normal, but I was hoping to see it come down. Still enough leg soreness and tightness that it disturbed my sleep several times last night. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring a downswing on the scale. I took it easy to allow my bicep femoris to heal. Hoping it will be pain free in a few days so I can get back to lower body workouts.
9/18 No scale.
Woke up to a call about needing to go the ER. Spent most of the day there with my Grandpa. Thankfully, he is back home and on medicines to take care of his gastro issues.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 - 185.8 - not good!! Tomorrow will probably be worse or about the same. I ate like crap today and didn't drink enough water. I always relax too much when I see a lower weight on the scale. Oh well.. it's a process!
9/11 - 187 - I was expecting this. I feel bloated and dehydrated. I ate a lot of sugar and carbs yesterday. Back on track today so this water weight should come off quickly...i hope!
9/12 - 184.6 - That's much better. I can't believe how sensitive my body is to high sugar/sodium and not drinking enough water. On Sunday I still drank probably 70oz of water but not enough to keep the bloat at bay. I usually drink 3-4 32oz bottles of water.
9/13 - 184.4 - Slow and steady I guess. It will be interesting to see how tomorrow looks. I didn't drink nearly enough water because I worked all day and forgot more water from home (i hate city water!).
9/14 - 183.4 - Yay!! Finally below my R15 ending weight!
9/15 - 182.6 - Well, look at that! Woohoo! I'm so happy to see this number...way better than the 187 I saw on Monday!
9/16 - 183.2 - whomp whomp whooommpp....so far today is not looking great but I'm going to eat better and drink more water!
9/17 - 185.6 - Well, hello brownie sundae and cheeseburger. Lol! I wasn't even going to step on the scale today! I'm pretty sure this number just wanted to come back and visit one last time. Last round I think 4 or 5 of 10 days was 185.6. Today = more water, less JUNK!
9/18 - 184.4 - Better, but I didn't eat very good today so I'm thinking the scale with reflect that in the morning

Yes! I slice the cheese very thin and weigh to exactly 1 oz. for my sandwiches, adding little slivers to get my precious ounce. The avocado is sometimes based on what half of the same size avocado weighed the day before. Admittedly, I have an analog scale, not digital so that's why you don't see fractions.
I eat a salad bar buffet once a week so that's got estimates, like I don't actually measure the romaine BUT I don't add croutons, creamy dressing, etc. I don't worry about whether I'm right about exact grams of tomato, cucumber, etc. So you've got a good point about accurate measuring.
My daily goal is 1500 calories, which should give me a fairly modest but steady loss. I try to eat 1300-1400 instead to compensate for any errors in measuring. I don't eat ANYTHING that doesn't get logged.
Thanks for taking the time to give feedback, I was cruising along losing .5 lbs every 3-5 days for a month before this and I think this is an adjustment period. I donated blood and had TOM in the last 2 weeks so my body has had stuff to deal with.
One thing I feel pretty good about: I had a Dr appt today and though the scale there showed a few lbs more than my home scale (fully dressed at dr), it was 15 pounds lighter than my appt a year ago, so at least there's tangible progress, even if slow.6 -

9/12 - 193.8 Yesterday I was a good girl and it's paying off!!! Today I will try to do even better! (Less cheese and less sugar)
9/13 - 193.0 This morning it flashed 192.8 before stopping stubbornly at 193. But that's ok. I'm being a very good girl. It will drop again, I'm sure of it.
9/14 - 191.8!!! (I got on 5x! It's the real number)
9/15 - 192.2 I figured that yesterday was too much of a drop.
9/16 - 190.8!!! 0.2 to go before I hit 10 lbs!!! Loving these whooshes!!!
9/17 - No Scale
9/18 - 193.0 - This is expected. I went over calories for 2 days in a row.
9/19 - 193.2 I don't understand this crazy up and down roller coaster ride I'm on. I was so happy to see the low 90's for 3 days in a row and then boom. Back up again. What the heck?? I though yesterday's was a bit of bloating be sure I was over on my calories a little bit but I guess not. I was really hoping to be back down today so that I could say I'd lost SOMETHING this round. Oh well. I guess maintaining a loss while on vacation in France is pretty good too. (In the past I DEFINITELY would have gained and not even been on this app while on vacation... so it's nice to see how far I've come!) This is my 2nd round at the same weight.

Back in for another 10 days!A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:Round 15: (Target: 162) Highest, 163.8; lowest, 161; Mean, 161.8 It's slow, but I am very happy with the downward trend.
- 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.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.

19/9/2017: 160.8 Goals ✅ Not what I wanted to see, but getting there.
A birthday in the middle of this round meant a bounce up which had to be worked off. However, Celebrations merely delay the achievement of weight loss. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It took many years to put on the weight I gained, but it is coming off, bit by stubborn bit. The game continues! I have the power and determination to do this. Don't worry!

My second round.
Still about 2.5kg over my maintenance weight, I really let it slip over the last couple of month, so here goes...
I don't usually weigh daily (or weekly even) but for now it helps me keep focus.
Good luck everyone

9/10 257.0 I have a real issue with water retention and if I eat salty food I blow up like a balloon, and ya that's where I'm at today. So it's time to do some apple cider vinegar and juicing today and get rid of some fluids. My goal this 10 days is to get off the water wt. and get to my true wt which is probably 3-5 lbs less than this. Good luck everyone.
9/11 256.3 Did about 9000 steps yesterday, eating was ok, plan to go very light today.
9/12 256.0 Heading in the right direction. 9000 steps yesterday and ate healthy.
9/13 255.5 Revised from original post, think scale gave a bad reading.
9/14 255.1 Kinda bummed had hoped to move the needle more, i did 8500 steps and had only about 1600 cals.
9/15 253.7 I have really watched my eating this week, getting about 8500 steps per day. This is what works for me if I will stick to it. Carbs are my downfall, if I cut way back on them the wt comes off and vise versa. Feeling good.
9/16 255.3 blah
9/17 255.3 boo hiss
9/18 256.3 I am looking to the next round to right the ship and I know that I am off track at the moment.

9/16 156.8 up and down we go.... but over all down. It's always been that way and I've learned to not freak out when it goes up because I know if I keep up good habits it will overall go down. Happy Saturday!

This is my first round! I've been lurking for a couple of rounds but I decided it was finally time to join. Trying not to lose too quickly because I find I tend to go off the rails if I lose too quickly.

goal for R13 R14 R15 R16 to get under and make being under 196 lbs permanent
so it seems that getting under 196 (14 stone) is proving just as difficult at getting out of the 200's was!!
4th round lucky???
UGW 140
09/9 - 197 - still eating lower cals and drinking 10 L water a week, still in a lot of pain with (what I think is sciatica) docs appointment is set for Thursday 14th at 4:15 so i am hoping for answers then!! I had a Long 70 min walk in the west end to get some exercise .. then a quick 15 min walk myself to check out my walking pace and later 15 mins of marching on the spot, it seems to give my leg some relief. hot water bottle and sitting for the rest of the time!
10/9 -197 - 3rd day at 197! so a bounce or a drop ... ooo the suspense
11/9 -198 - and its a bounce! .. still patiently waiting on a drop!
12/9 -196.6 - The pains in my leg were terrible today, I was almost pain free on the 11th as well.
13/9 -196.6 - 1 1/2 mile walk, leg feeling much better
14/9 -196.6 - If past months are anything to go by (just less than 2 weeks till TOM arrives) I should lose a little weight over the next week (be at my lowest on the 19th) the make a small jump back up to this number (or above) then it should slowly drop off again back to here over the following week -(its happened like this over the last 3 months) - Lets see then, body is this a real pattern or am I just hopeful!!!
15/9 -196.6 - I've been to the doctor and I have sciatica, I've been referred for physio (12-16 week wait for an appointment) and told walking and recommended sciatic exercise only. Forgot to drink my water, calories very low.
16/9 -196.6 - 5th day at the same number, c'mon body .. let go of it!
17/9 -195.4 - I fully expect a bounce in the next few days but for the moment YASSSSSS!!!!!
18/9 -195.4 - Rest day, sciatic pain is giving me no peace, and the recommended exercises seem to irritate the nerve
19/9 -195.4 - HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY - 3 days at under 14 stone.

ROUND 16 - My Round 3
I ended last round 0.1 above where I started, having to navigate the first week of school, inservice, Labor Day, and 2 celebrations for mom's birthday. So here is how we are starting:
SW 162
Round 16 goal: anywhere 159.9 or below
9/10 162 - was out to eat yesterday and did in fact go down a few ounces. No official workout yesterday due to getting my FIL checked into a care facility and dealing with all of that. Losing weight while dealing with adult responsibilities is hard. Got up today and got in 50 mins of Zumba at home before starting the day.
9/11 162.8 - WHAT?? I worked out yesterday and had a pretty big deficit at the end of the day - WHAT??
9/12 162.6 ugh. Was hoping for better.
9/13 161.8 better - cut down on the snacks at work (the kiddos I work with have a reward box - sometimes it's hard to avoid the rewards myself!) and cut down on the food after dinner. Hoping to continue this trend.
9/14 161.7 - the correct direction right?? Even though it's 0.1??
9/15 161.7 - lots of steps again but snacking at work - tracking the snacking as well as I can...
9/16 161.5 - better - right direction - even though I can't keep it together during the day at work - been trying to snack on goldfish crackers instead of m&m's though...maybe I'll get some bite size things to keep around my desk to grab instead this week...we will see. Already got in 65 minutes of Leslie Sansone miracle miles today so that's a plus
9/17 162.0 - one day out to eat and gained back what I lost despite having a big deficit at the end of the day. Going to work out this morning and mark it on my to do list to work out this week as well. Trying to stay focused.
9/18 161.7 - better - at least it's below where I started but still - not as good as I wanted this round. I need to keep my exercise more consistent. I'm thinking of paying myself $1 for each workout I do and buying myself a present at the end of every month - something to keep me focused in that way.
9/19 161.5 - ended this round 0.5 less than I started which is at least a move in the right direction. Hopeful for the next 10 days but nervous about food because my birthday is this weekend. Going to try to do activity EVERY DAY but Fridays.7 -
Hi all. This is my first round and I am a little apprehensive as I normally weigh myself on a weekly basis. Have never done daily as was not sure how I would react to the fluctuations on a daily basis. I do realise this could be a positive and keep me on track. I was aiming to join you in round 15 but I chickened out but I am here now due to some encouragement from my MFP buddy (you know who are you - thank you). Looking forward to getting to know all of you.
Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 - 133.8 - 1lb up from when I weighed myself a few days ago. I can't complain as I ate some naughty snacks over the weekend. It could have a been a lot worse. Here's hoping I don't pay the price tomorrow!
9/11 -135.8 - up 2lbs more.
9/12 - 136.4 - oh my up again! Is my weight going to keep going up now I am weighing daily instead of weekly? I am not going to let it freak me out. At least it will stop me snacking tonight. Good thing it's my IF day tomorrow. That will put me back on track!
9/13 - 134.2 - had a good day - got lots of exercise in, drank water and had a successful IF day with 450 calories! Has made a difference not only to the numbers on the scale but also my state of mind.
9/14 - 132.8 - yay, so happy to see that figure going down. It sure does pay off to push a bit harder with my exercises. Plus I have had to do extra minutes on the bike for eating some chips! Win win I suppose!! Lol!
9/15 - 131.6 - that's what I like to see - the numbers going in the right direction. Think I got rid of a lot of water retention. Was feeling really tired this morning as not slept much all week but decided to still push with my exercise. So glad I did.
9/16 - 131.6 - happy to stay the same as had a few candies but stayed within my calories.
9/17 - 131.6 - have managed to have two nights good sleep for a change and I feel so much better for it. Had a good workout today.
9/18 - 130.2 - sleep, longer workouts, water intake and staying within my daily calories is paying off.
9/19 - 130.0 - very happy with that. I didn't have a goal weight when I started this particular challenge as I wasn't sure how I was going to get on with weighing myself everyday.
Hope everyone is happy with all their efforts.8 -

9/18 - 196.0 Today we return to work. Can't say I've ever been so happy to go back to work. A sense of normalcy will return I hope. I cannot tell how much is water retention and how much is hurricane snacks. I need to be back on schedule.

9/10 256.8 -- Same as yesterday. This is the low from last round. Let’s see if we can make it the high for this round!
9/11 258.2 --Bah humbug!! Blew through sodium and calorie deficit with late night snacking. Don’t snack off diary! Go to bed, Heidi! You’re not really hungry!!
9/12 257.2 -- I must have been self-medicating with food all my life. I started to feel the barometric pressure changes yesterday afternoon as Irma blew through and my immediate response was a big snack attack and then a nap. Very interesting. Stayed within calories by having a very low cal supper.
9/13 259.4 -- Gack!!! Let’s see … take-out Chinese, late night snacking … that’ll do it!
9/14 259.2 -- I’m having difficulty getting back to the new normal. I’m falling back into old habits. I must nip this in the bud. I need to take back control. I will start this morning. I know I can do this.
9/15 258.2 -- Stayed within limits yesterday. My sole goal right now is just to do that for the rest of the challenge. CICO
9/16 257.4 --Another day of CICO doing exactly as it ought. Maybe the first day won’t be the lowest day of this challenge after all!
9/17 257.4 -- Stayed within calorie limits. Off to deliver pet food for rural Meals-on-Wheels clients today. So a nice drive “in the country.” Need to plan a simple supper so we won’t be tempted by take-out when we get home!
9/18 256.8 -- Nice to see that again!! What a roller coaster ride this has been. A lot learned, though.
9/19 256.8 -- ending the challenge where I had begun but that still represents a drop for the middle-of-the-range this challenge.

13/9 - 230.4 my belt went in by a notch yesterday and the scale does this. Well I've 6 days for a turn around eating and exercise. Less salt. Definitely smoothie after 6. No more "questionable" meals.

15/9 - 229.8 appetite back in check. So let's see how it goes.
16/9 - 227.8 very low salt. Today's goals - stay active.
17/9 - 226.2 yesterday I went shopping. Spent close to 3 hrs walking around. Retail therapy works.
18/9 - 225.8 just because it said 225- something. Now if only I would get my lazy butt up and exercise regularly. Years ago when i was young (in my 40's then ) I had so much energy. I exercised one hour twice a day. I got burnt out a year later and since then... sigh. I know I have to get some routine going. Ok Mr bike, you and I have a date tomorrow morning at 5.
19/9 - 224.2 I don't know how or why but today I say YES YES YES!!!!!!! Unfortunately I didn't get on the bike because rain is falling and my pillow just didn't want me to leave. Best sleep I've had in a long long time. Have a good day all. I know I will 8 -

9/10 - 159 - I could deal with this steady 2-4 oz loss per day. I wish it were always linear because it's super motivating, but I know it will plateau and fluctuate soon enough. Dear body, I trust you. Love, me.
9/11 - 159.4 - and there's the bounce...no worries though. Trainer coming over this morning so getting back on track with exercise which has been pretty paltry lately.
9/12 - 158.4 - Dear body, I knew I could trust you. I give you permission to let go of another .5 lbs over the next week so we can hit goal. No hurry, take your time. You can do it! Love, me.
9/13 - 159 - boioioioioing...under calories and a little exercise, but a lot of sodium yesterday so not at all surprising. Onward and upward....errr downward!!!
9/14 - 158.6 - 38 min elliptical and a smidge under calories.
9/15 - 159 - I went to bed hungry to stay at calories and I wake up to this...stupid scale.
9/16 - 159.8 - Gaaaak - I knew it. Went to an awards dinner last night and went over calories. Chose a salad and salmon, but the dressing, sauces and bread and butter got me.
9/17 - 158.6 - Worked hard yesterday and it payed off. My scale did this to me this morning though...163.8...wait for it....ERROR...it almost went through the window.
9/18 - 158.4 - Exercise and under calories yesterday. Dear body...let it go...half a pound...you can do it!!
9/19 - 158.4 - I'll take it...on to the next round.13
