9/20 255.4 -- Starting the challenge with a nice, new low weight. Hello, 255!
9/21 257.6 -- Chinese take out and a pecan praline-induced snack attack. Let’s make this the high for this round, eh?
9/22 257.0 -- Starting the slow descent; shedding the water and avoiding overeating. Another day or two (or three) and I should be back down to where I started this round.
9/23 256.8 -- Down a titch but I ate right through any deficit last night. Late night snacking is my nemesis!!
9/24 255.6 -- Yay! Self discipline! I even managed to watch Anthony Bourdain eat his way across Paraguay late last night without heading to the kitchen. The urge was there but I fought it!
9/25 254.8 -- CICO rocks! With a new pound reached, time to recalculate TDEE-500 and shave another 5 calories off my daily limit.
9/26 253.6 -- Well, that’s a pleasant surprise!!! Let’s see if we can hold onto it!

9/23 - Didn't weigh-in

Started R6 @ 177.1
First Goal: 170 ✔️
Next Goal: 159 ... At a slow rate
End of R15 158.8
End of R16 162.2
9/20 - 160.7 I tried Chefs Plate for the first time last night (promo rate) had Chicken Romanesco Bucatini. It was a lot of calories 870!! It was tasty and large I planned for it AND I lost some lbs.... Hmmm. Hit just over my step goal. I think I need to walk before dinner instead of after as it is getting darker and colder out!! Looking for some 5's now.
9/21 - 159.7 Here comes those 5's. Walked 12,400 steps, hit calorie goal. Still need to figure out an evening workout plan. Hope these 5's stick around for awhile.
9/22 - 160.4 Looks like 5's are a fighter. 13,982 steps hit calorie goal was under near the end of the night and had some protein, maybe I miss calculated. Or its just a bounce!! Happy Friday everyone. No real weekend plans yet I'm hoping the weather holds can have a nice walk and clean the house some!!
9/23 - 159.5. Looks like a nice sunny day here today. Gotta get active!!! Love the 5’s
9/24 ~ 158.4. Spent the day cleaning and organizing. Hit 13,000+ steps doing it. Set my 20 year old son up in the basement. Lol. Pushed for a high protein day and did ok. 5
. Step challenge??? Maybe.
9/25 - 158.8 Think my fitbit is broken. My unit said I was in the high teens when I last looked at it and my app now says just over 10 WTH?? Had a Whole Foods salad for dinner and estimated the calories at 700+ but last night I was so hungry had half bag of Lara balls and some chicken. I think I over estimated the salad.
ETA: Fitbit App just updated and it now says 19,874... Thats good don't feel so bad about the Lara balls.
9/26 - 158.1 Lowest weight in years!!! Years! (Down 65lbs) Picked up SO late last night so I'm gonna try and stay stable. He doesn't know how long he will be home and it could be a few weeks, which is fantastic..... BUT my calorie count may suffer. I'll see what I can do. Found out that our Grandaughter will be born on the 3rd, So excited. But she is breeched and daughter is distraught and upset/worried about a ceasarean.

R17 Goal: 195.XX
9/20 : 196.6 hey good number to start this round...hoping not to bounce around too much
9/21: 197.6 Yesterday was a bad day for me. I binged on almost everything in sight. And idk why....I was just weak. So was very happy to see this number this AM. But tbh i obsessed over my weight all day and I'm worried I may be slipping into a bad cycle. . I literally stepped on the scale like 10 times...I ran todayfor 30 mins...I don't run ever....And Then worked out for an hour. *sigh* I know this isn't good for me.
9/21: 197.2 got a good workout in this morning.....then ate all my calories back in Taco Bell! Oops tommorow should be interesting
9/22: 198.6 because salt, alcohol, TOM, and not enough water
9/23: got a good workout today, weighed myself but forgot to write it down.
9/24: didn't work out today. Tried to avoid the scale

Hit most of my goals - a little off on patience. ;-)
9/22 - 151.9
I'm hitting my goals, so I know it's water. At least it doesn't look so bad with the moving average!
9/23 - 152.1
Oopsie. My hubby is out of town and I went on a Triscuit binge last night, so I'm up 2 pounds this morning. I know this is not fat, but still...I haven't done that in a very long time - not sure what got into me. Anyway, off to the store for lean protein and veggies. I'm also cutting my calories to 1680, since I've been pretty much maintaining at 1800-1900. Here's to a better day!
9/24 - 152.3
Still paying for my Fri night binge, but I was back on track yesterday and will stay there today. Tomorrow is another day!
9/25 - 152.3
Sigh. I'm eating at calorie/macro goals but didn't get my walk yesterday. Still, I thought I'd drop a little. Off for a long walk now. I keep reminding myself that there's always a time lag, and the numbers will improve.
9/26 - 152.1
Amazing how easy it is to add, how difficult to subtract. I'm focusing on just eating well and walking. The weight will go. Is this the Universe telling me to work on my patience muscle?

9/20 - 193.3. 2 days of good exercise, eating the right number of calories and drinking plenty of fluids
9/21 - 193.1 Had a good day yesterday. Let's keep it up. Really had to work to get 10K steps recorded; I went to work with my fitbit left behind on the bathroom windowsill.
9/22 - 191.6 I love the woosh. And jogging. And rotisserie chicken with asparagus after jogging. Feeling a little giddy obviously. Hope the rest of YOUR day goes as well as my weigh in!
9/23 - 191.8 This is a totally good number. Let's see the number tomorrow. I just ate lunch at Panera with some girlfriends and had a lovely time. Counted everything, but I have no idea how much sodium is in the food. I seem to be sodium sensitive in relation to fluid retention.
9/24 - 191.6
Office day yesterday with a nice lunch break. Had a lovely T-bone last night and I limited myself to only 4 ounces. Gave the dog my fat trim. Now I have lots of delicious leftovers available. back in the office today. No days off this week for me.
9/25 - 193.6 Ugh. Way more carbs than usual. Too much sitting. Lots of factors. Hopefully this is the temp swing - not the 191 days before. Stay diligent.
9/26 - 192.2 I like the down days. Was a little light on the calories yesterday. Walked earlier than usual and the heat killed my appetite for dinner.

Hello old friend; good to see you again-it's been a while . As good as it is to see you, I don't want to tarry long! I've got all of my other old friends DOWN the road I need to get reacquainted with! 
9/24: 219
This is where I was about a year ago when I started on my, "GREAT EATING CAMPAIGN"! When I came to my senses, I weighed 242 lbs. Hope when I leave this number, I never see it or above it again! My body is the temple of God's spirit; it's time I treated it like it!
9/25: 222.3
This is the result of another church function! Had an appreciation dinner after church - pulled pork, baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, chips, cake, cookies! Drank water and didn't eat any bread, but went home and ate green beans with potatoes seasoned with salt pork! Went waaaay over on calories and salt! I've got 4 days to get this right!
9/26: 221.3
Still holding on to water weight from my sodium overload! Too much salt is not good for my blood pressure or my heart. Didn't drink much water yesterday; just didn't feel like drinking anything, but I forced myself to drink about six glasses!9 -

Round 16 SW: 175 - EW: 174.5
9/20: 173.5
Hm, didn't have enough water yesterday, I might be a bit dehydrated. Actually ate under calories Tue but I went out for a cocktail and dim sum.
9/21: 174
Plenty of water today, no added sugar, declined free cookies, got some exercise, stayed under calories. Potluck tomorrow, we shall see.
9/22: 174
Had a bit more to eat than I should have at my work potluck, but nothing with added sugar and it fit in my calories if I skip my planned dinner, not ideal. Light on water, I'll try to have more before bed.
9/23: 173.5
I hope the scale's not just toying with me again and this loss stays around. Got some exercise today, no added sugars, plenty of water, actually ate a little low, even with a piece of leftover pizza. Maybe a bit too much salt.
9/24: 173.5
No added sugars, good on water, good on calories but I left too many calories til the end of the day so I am overfull after a big dinner. Only incidental exercise. Today's my "Friday" and for the last five days I've resisted all kinds of desserts in the work lunch room, they seemed to multiply this week.
9/25: 175.5. What? Sigh. FML
Well, today I took a hike, ate under my calories. I had some fruit in a restaurant that I could tell were canned in syrup so I did have added sugar. Need to drink more water before the end of the day.
9/26: 174.5
I got lab tests back and my glucose (83) and cholesterol (176) are at an all-time low! [My cholesterol was 237 last year and fasting glucose is usually in high 90s.] I still need to raise my "good" chol a little but my changes have really made a difference. However, my iron is super low, which explains a lot, though not really a surprise. I think it's impacting my fat burning and definitely my energy.
Anyway, today's not over but I'm on track for plenty of water, no added sugar, eating below calories, and I plan to go for a run around 7pm.

I'm back! I've been a part of this group for so long now that posting is just an automatic response because it's truly a part of my daily routine. I'm so appreciative of all the support and encouragement along my journey. I am starting this Round down 4 oz from my last round. If I could just get to 174 this Round, I'd be happy.

09/20: 174.6 So, Mom is getting released from rehab on Saturday. I fell off a table at work yesterday because I was hanging up some anchor charts and landed on a concrete floor. I know, I should have used a stool. I was pretty sore yesterday, but I am better today except for my finger. I jammed it when trying to catch myself.
09/21: 174.4 This is the 4th time I've seen this number. I have yet to get any lower than this or to have my BIG WHOOSH! It's been 2 weeks. It's only a matter of time, right?! The tortoise beat the hare.
09/22: 174! I hit my 4 oz!!!! I've officially lost 28lbs. I'm so behind thrilled. Now, I just want to lose 2 more pounds, and that will put me at a 30 lb loss and the same weight as my teenage son, who happens to be 7 inches taller than me.
09/23: 173.6 YIPPEE! I've dropped into a new number in the 70s. This is my newest low! I haven't seen this number since my first pregnancy, and that was about 14 years ago. Say what now?!
09/24: 174.4 What in the world?! I biked 6.5 miles yesterday before my day got crazy and walked about 8000 steps because we picked up Mom from rehab, and now she's back home. I stuck to my water, and I was under my calories. BTW: this is the 5th time I've seen this number now. I think it really likes me, but I'm starting to think I don't like it very much. Lol
09/25: 174.2 I completed a 5k walk yesterday in honor of Mom (MIL) for lung cancer awareness with my husband and 3 children. She has been battling it over a year now as some of you know and has done amazingly. I also grabbed some things from the store, came home and cleaned house, and I did my lesson planning for the kiddos this week. With everything combined that I did, I put in over 14g steps. Whew!
09/26: 173.6 Really struggling to meet my calorie goal. I didn't get it. Now, I do. If you don't consume enough, your body thinks it's starving and your metabolism slows down. Your weight loss will stall. So, eat those calories that MFP sets for you. It may sound weird, but it has something to burn, so you'll lose weight. I am determined to get 1500 calories in.

9/20 - 222.0 - Back down to my lowest! Let's see if I can hold it. I went to the gym for 30min cardio today and did minimal effort. I wasn't feeling 100% so am glad I at least went. Tomorrow will be better and I will push harder!
9/21 - 221.4!! Woohoo! I didnt make it to the gym today as I was doing errands with my husband on his day off then had to watch the baby while he did house stuff. I don't feel guilty about it so it's ok. I am waiting to hear if i have arrangements for a babysitter tomorrow so i can go to the gym. Otherwise I will be playing baseball tomorrow night so I will burn some calories then! I ate under calories as I skipped breakfast due to catching up on sleep and sleeping until noon. Overall a good day!
9/22 220.0!!! Still going down! I have not found anyone to watch my son while I go to the gym so we are going to go for a nice long walk today. I didn't sleep so well last night so hoping to have a little nap first (when baby naps) and then head out. Looking forward to baseball tonight! And hoping the scale is in the 1s!!!!
9/23 220.2 - leveling out but im.happy to be maintaining. Played 2 baseball games and maybe a 3rd tonight in 30 degree weather! Tying to stay hydrated. Looking forward to what the scale has to say about this tomorrow! Food good today.
9/24 - 220.0 - holding strong. Waiting in anticipation for the 1s! Next week I'm going to push myself with exercise as I have been slacking the last few weeks and see what I can get down to on the scale!
9/25 - 219.8 - woohoo. New low!
9/26 - 221.0 - yesterday I binged on 90 calorie sugar treats. I had 5! The whole box. I can't buy those again! And today I had I peanut butter cookie, sour cream donut and a bagel with cheese and butter! I did balance it with a Cobb salad for lunch but went over my calories and sugar! I'm going to get back on track. I've arranged to go for a walk tomorrow with another mom and have volleyball tomorrow! I'm committing to the following 3 goals each day: 1 ) 30min exercise (increased heart rate) daily, 2) no unplanned treats, 3) 5 24oz bottles of water daily! No more self sabotaging !

9/22: 160.6 Gooooaaalllll!
9/23: 160.2 Pleasantly surprised.

9/25: 159.6 Wow. 7th consecutive day of loss. I'm a happy camper!
9/26: 159.6 This is 3 lbs less than this time last week. Huge accomplishment! A bit over sodium last night (and fat and carbs!) so maybe there will be a loss tomorrow. I'll take anything in the 150s please.

9/21 - 132.8 I ran 5 miles yesterday and logged everything (finally). Off to the gym I go. Back in the right direction. woohoo!!!
9/22 - 131.8 It really is all about what you eat and logging. Logged everything yesterday (even if it was all at the end of the day). 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!!!
9/23 - 131 Back in the swing of things. Already finished with the gym and mindful eating. Happy Saturday everyone!
9/24 - didn't weigh right this morning. Weighed w/clothes on and then naked post run. But I figure was between 131-132. Ate Chinese tonight, probably will retain some water. But got my run in. We will see...
9/25 - 131.8 I was hoping it would have been better. Maybe tomorrow. Gym done today and logging
9/26 - 131.8 So here's the question. My original goal was 132 and then once I reached it, I changed to to 129. As you can see I have hovered over 132 for a long time. My question is, is this where I should be and learn to maintain? Or do I keep attempting to get below 130? Any thoughts???

9/26: Intentionally skipped weigh-in this morning. Yesterday I felt my control slipping due to the sickness and decided to stop logging and allow myself a cheat day while I still had the level of control I did - so it would be an actual break day, instead of an outright uncontrolled binge some time later this week.
The method: before I ate anything, I would stop and ask myself why I wanted it. If I still wanted it after the internal conversation that ensued, I'd eat it. End result was, I passed on a lot of junk food (and lectured myself about boredom eating), ate right about to maintenance, and went right back on track today, just as planned.
Worked perfectly, the junk food cravings are pretty much gone. But I didn't need the mental hit of seeing the impact of the extra food weight that's probably there, so I sat this one out.
Was planning to go to the gym today, but I'll never be able to park at home if I leave at this hour, not on street cleaning day - instead I'm just going to do a workout at home.

@KayHBE Congratulations on your soon-to-be grandmother-hood (and the new low weight!)
@bossymom15 I have someone very close to me with Crohn's disease. I know it can be so stressful to see someone you love struggle with it. Make sure to take care of yourself too, emotionally and physically.
Starting weight (Nov 2016): 202.2 GW1: 142 UGW: 135
R16 SW: 159.6 R16 EW: 157.6
9/20: 157/Getting closer to my lowest weight from the last round (156.2). I fit the catered Chipotle I had at work yesterday into my calories. I now make it a habit to ask what we will be eating on late nights so I can plan it into my calories so I don't have to bring my own food while everyone else is eating catered food. This is now two days in a row that I didn't go to the gym. I was so exhausted. I have to go tomorrow!
9/21: 156.8/Continuing the downward trend, though it's going very slowly. I have today and tomorrow off so hopefully I can stay on track...it's harder on non-work days!
9/22: 156.4/This is still higher than my lowest weight in R16 (156.2). I feel so impatient but I'm going to keep chugging along. I can't wait to see 155.xx. Ate out for lunch and dinner but relatively healthy and within calories. Did weights and curcuit training exercises. Off to go swimming now.
9/23: 155.8/Cautiously optimistic! Fearing the uptick! Nevertheless, it was thrilling to see 155.x! I'm now less than a pound away (154.9) from entering the healthy BMI range! Biked to the pool yesterday and swam laps. Ate under calories so I can save them for later.
9/24: 155.6/Ate back all my exercise calories yesterday, which I usually don't do...including 3 glasses of wine. Had a thing in midtown last night and walked halfway and biked the other halfway home instead of taking the subway! I love these bike share programs!
9/25: 155.4/Good day today. Went to the gym. Mostly did weights. A couple of unpredictable days coming up. Really struggling with water intake.
9/26: 155.2/Slow and steady it seems. 0.4 lbs away from being in the normal BMI range for the first time in my adult life! Ate back exercise calories, so slightly under calorie goal (including exercise). My muscles ache from the lifting! Worried about my sushi dinner tomorrow. It's definitely a weakness of mine.

@NormaV14 I mean, it depends on your height and why you thought 129 was the perfect goal weight. If your body seems happy around 132 and you are healthy, you could put your focus on maintenance instead of the frustration of losing three pounds, if unnecessary.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
9/20 125.8 -weight crept back up after last weeks several day low at the 122s. I did kickboxing last night. Went over calories by 200 calories.
9/21 127.3 - very frustrated. I did a legs day and a whole body workout yesterday. I was over calories due to the holiday, but not 2 lbs worth. Not sure why my weight keeps creeping up despite increased workouts and watching my calorie intake.
9/22 125.1 - weight went down a bit. Ate within calories. Did a HIIT class and kickboxing.
9/23. 126.3. Urggggghh. I did a whole body interval class and kickboxing class. Ate within calories. I would be ok with no loss, but the gains are frustrating me. I'm already at 1200 calorie intake.
9/24 124.8 Did 2 back to back kickboxing classes yesterday. Ate within calories,
9/25 124.3 Rest day. Ate within calories.
9/26 124.3 Rest day. Over ate by ~ 350 calories.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/19- 154.44 Does walking Costco count as exercise? lol Kept to our grocery list and avoided buying a pizza for dinner, even though it was calling me the entire time. Came home and found a salmon patty instead with salad and a few sweet potato fries. Didn't follow my plan, but made positive choices.
9/20- 154.22 Managed to get in a mile walk before it started to rain. Feeling determined to reach my goal this round.
9/21- 155.32 Absolutely no reason for this gain. Eating below calories, getting exercise in, and drinking plenty of water. Hopefully this is only temporary. (my hair was damp when I weighed today, so that might be a small part of this)
9/22- 154.44 Glad the weight is back down. That Costco pizza was still on my mind today, but no one answered when we called to order ahead, so we ended up eating leftovers. Thank you Costco. You saved me a bunch of calories. lol Tomorrow we are doing a university tour with my son so there will be lots of walking.
9/23- 154.44 Seems like my body is happy at this weight, but I am not. I did tons of walking today to the point my feet and legs ache. Lots of hills and staircases. My plan is to take it easy tomorrow and perhaps work in my garden if the weather cooperates.
9/24- 153.78 Hopefully optimistic this weight will stick (or drop). I'm less sore than I expected, but still took a day off. Need to do meal planning for next week.
9/25- 153.12 If this number is true, I have now lost 10 lbs since starting. I've really worked hard and stuck to my calories each day (with the exception of one day I'm not 100% sure of). I have more to go, but this success has me on a high.
9/26-152.68 I have a chest infection and have slept the majority of the day.
