JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 17

TerriRichardson112 · September 2017

Many events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it is coming off, bit by stubborn bit! Stick with it! The game continues!

Eat and burn is the path I chose!
Bit by bit, ounce by ounce, it goes.
In all things, moderation!
Focus on determination!

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

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:

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.

Don't beat yourself up over a temporary gain. Trust the process and stick with the programme.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!

My third round.
I'm really struggling with these last few kilos and I'm starting to think there might be some truth in that it's harder when you're in your forties. The daily weigh-in helps a lot, even though I curse this thread when I fancy that treat in the evening...

Good luck everyone

20/9 - 224.2 so happy to see this # again. Now I know it wasn't a fluke yesterday. :
21/9 - 223.8 strange. I got on the scale and it said 224.2. My SO got on after me (who by the way eats everything and his weight has not moved on 5 years - 165) so I know the scale isn't broken. I got back on and it moved lower to the same spot after 3 more attempts. Should I let him weigh before me everyday I wonder

Be blessed and positive today everyone.
22/9 - 222.4 didn't eat properly yesterday and very hungry now.

I listened and followed instructions yesterday and ta da! He committed that I'd get my dang boobs in that dang wedding dress if I followed the plan and I'm committed. It's on!

ROUND 17 - My Round 4

Start weight for round 17 - 161.7

Up 0.2 from yesterday but overall down 0.3 from last round. I so badly want to break back out of the 160's - I am so unhappy that they are my new normal. I want to see 159.9 or anything below it, as soon as possible. Here we go for this round:

9/20 161.7 - no exercise yesterday because I got out of work 1.5 hours late due to a meeting, then having to finish some paperwork at home (gotta love teaching)
9/21 162.8 UGH. Salty skillet pack for dinner so I hope that's the problem
9/22 161.7 - less snacking at work and less food at night - or it could just be the salt leaving from 2 salty meals. Still no during the week exercise...sign

Goal this round -2.5 lbs.

9/20 255.0 I have a Dr. appt in about a month and hope to lose -5lbs, this round will be my kick start. I need to watch my carb intake, salt, sugar, and average 8000 steps per day.
9/21 254.6 My eating wasn't great, to many carbs, but 8700 steps helped I'm sure. Planning a good all around day.
9/22 253.5 The needle is moving in the right direction b/c I quit cheating with my eating and have actually put in an honest effort for a change. Dr appt was moved up two weeks But I'm keeping to my -5 lb goal.

9/20 - 188.8 hello again..
9/21 - 189.4 I'm terribly frustrated.. I know this has to do with not taking a water pill anymore but 18 days at or around the same weight and never being over on calories is pretty frustrating. I'm looking at my second consecutive Friday with a gain tomorrow and I just want to crawl into a hole somewhere. Rant over.
9/22 - 189 - Attitude adjustment day. If I fail at something I truly attempted, it's still a success. I'm just going to have to do it a few more times.

Hello all!!
Love this challenge and this group for accountability. Weighing every day has been an important factor in my success so far!

SW - March 2017 - 182.4lbs
GW - 145 - it was 150 initially but I smashed that last week and I don't feel like I'm done. I'm happy with where I am but I've got some pooch left and I think having a maintenance range of 145-149 would be ideal...so I'm going to slowly chip away at the last few pounds and work on my fitness.

9/19 - 149.8 - coming in from round 16

Day/Weight/Comment
9/20 - 149.0 - still can't get over seeing something under 150...it's been sooo long.....
9/21 - 148.8 - had ham for dinner last night so was expecting an upward sodium blip...might show up tomorrow, but I'll try to ward it off with lots of H-2-O

9/22 - 148.0 - lots of steps at work yesterday. Going to try to "maintain" this weekend and see how that goes, I need to start getting that figured out soon as I get even closer to where I want to stay for a while.

Whenever I fall off the logging wagon, I pay the price on the scale. But really it's a chicken or egg type of story - because when I am not eating right, I don't want to log. The exercise part is the easy part for me. Happy Friday everyone!!!

GW for challenge 178
GW overall 154

9/20 : I weighed in at 180 and really want to reach the 70s! Hoping to get a workout after work! I made all my meals for today so no eating out.
9/21: 181. Yikes!! lol I'm not sure why? I was under calories but didn't hit my water goal so maybe that's why? Still comited and doing strong! The 70s will be mine!!!!
9/22 179.4. Yayy!!!! I'm going to keep it going so I stay in the 70s. I had a great day yesterday! All my meals planned, a nice workout, increased my water intake and eight hours of sleep! I wonder how much I'd weigh if everyday was like that? Doing the same today! Feeling determined! If I keep this weight I will no longer be obese just overweight for my age, height and gender!

swopen · September 2017

SW: 269.4 (9/12/17)
Highest: 278.8
CW: 264.8
R17GW: 260.0

Goal: Log all my food each day. I tend to get lazy in the evenings and on the weekends.

9/20 - 264.2 - down .6 from yesterday despite the fact that I ate terribly last night and didn't exercise. I was stressed about my child's school work/preparing for picture day (today) and an interview that I have today at work (still pretty stressed about that!). Staying positive though, going to make better choices today

9/21 - 262.2 - I was emotionally and mentally exhausted after my interview yesterday, so I didn't eat well at night. But, I did make myself take a 15 minute walk last night. Unfortunately, I've got some foot pain that I'm pretty sure is caused by a bone spur on the top of my foot (so I'll be calling a podiatrist this week), so 15 minutes was all that I could handle. But I'm happy with the results

9/22 - 263.4 - Yesterday afternoon/evening was stressful. We had an event at my child's school that included dinner. Then when I got home, I just ate a bunch of junk food. I am working on controlling my emotional eating, but it's a process. I did just request an appointment with a podiatrist to try to resolve my foot pain. I can't walk for more than 15-20 minutes without pain and I need to get back to exercising. I knew my weight would be up today, but I'm not too discouraged. Today's a new day!
