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 !

@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.

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.

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???

@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.

10 Day Goal:153.3 This is 10 lbs. down from when I first began

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.
