9/20 155
9/21 156 UGH! Pizza for dinner at community bingo last night. I only ate the toppings off one slice of veggie and had taken a healthy salad from home. One SF adult beverage but overall maybe not enough fat or perhaps this is the salt.
9/22 156. I ate dinner too late! Almost 9 PM!! This afternoon I go to my retreat and will be without a scale until I get home late Sunday. I will have a lot of catching up to do! Next weigh in on Monday! AARRGGGHHH
9/23 RETREAT
9/24 RETREAT Going home this afternoon. This has been a fun, productive weekend. We'll see what the scale reveals tomorrow, I have had some junk but nothing like last year.
9/25 157.5 Up but not surprised. Had a great time at our mini-retreat. Over the weekend, the only things o should not have eaten were a half piece of Trash Treat and 3 hands full of popcorn. And unmeasured alcohol. Learned to make homemade noodles and Buckeyes. Had 3 dozen Buckeyes to bring home which my husband will take care of. I was not even tempted. My biggest problem was not drinking enough water. I think I will not have a problem recouping. I'm so glad to have spent time with these wonderful women but am equally glad to be back to this group.
9/26 157.5 Getting back to my eating plan. I probably had too much fat yesterday.

R16 ave 151.3
Date - Moving Average (Happy Scale)
9/20 - 151.8
I had bounced up a little toward the end of R16, so this is actually back down a pound. :-)
9/21 - 151.8
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?
9/27 - 152
My weight is actually down 1.2 lb to 151.6, but the moving average takes longer to move, of course. But yay! I'm eating lots of protein and fat, cut back on carbs, lots of water, and walking. I'd really like to finish the round at least where I started, if not lower!

I came down with a nasty sinus infection night before last. I always lose weight when I am sick (see R15 average weight above). I have been drinking a ton of water and expelled at least a pound of snot. Plus, no appetite, but I'm trying anyway. Hopefully something good will come of this and I won't gain all the weight back. But it's always doubtful with such an extreme loss, which is why I'm trying not to lose so much. -_-
9/21: 128.2
Yep.
9/23: 129.4
Ok, time to get back on track here. I have literally been doing nothing but laying down. Went to the doctor and now I have a respiratory infection as well. I can't exercise and I feel like poop.
9/24: 129.4
Staying steady is a good sign!
9/25: 128.6
Did great yesterday, stayed under calorie goal and even ate a few treats brought back home from Ukraine by some family.
9/26: 128.6
Yay! I know my average weight won't be as low as Round 15 but if I can keep it below Round 16 that would be awesome! Ate under calorie limit and now that I am feeling a good bit better I went for a SHORT run last night.
9/27: 128.6
Going to a soccer game tonight! I always give myself freedom to eat whatever I want on these nights because we get into downtown about 4 hours early to park, walk a couple of miles to dinner, then walk a couple of miles to the stadium, then walk a couple of miles to the car. That plus the fact that I don't drink makes it a lot easier to eat slightly less mindfully on those nights! Yum.

Days without binge eating: 13
@Elbee1 - Thanks! I REALLY think posting here has kept me more accountable. But I'm still overeating on some days. But at least the binge eating is over!!!
@NormaV14 - I liked cyranda63's advice. Maybe try upping your calories to around 200 below maintenance and see what happens. Are you at the high, middle, or low end of your weight range?11 -
ROUND 17
Joined MFP at 207 lbs
SW when I joined this challenge: 193.8
R15 start 192.7 End 189.6
R16 start 189.4 End 187.8
End Goal for this round: 185
UWG: 120-130
Goals for a perfect day (adapted from jlemoore's idea):
1. Exercise (at least 30mins)
2. Log ALL my intake (would be good if it stays less than MFP's calories goal, but if not, then not more than 200cal excess)
3. Hit carb and protein goals
9/20 - 187.4 -- so another round begins. I made peace with myself last round regarding those pasta that I mindlessly ate and now I'm back to my usual eating. Setting alarm for water as well since I've noticed that I only consume around 1L when work is hectic.
9/21 - 186.9 -- wonderful loss; slowly but steady. Feeling good also since I was able to drink more water. Also added plain green tea in my drinks list, it tastes weird when unsweetened but I think this is better. I wanna tame my tongue and stop craving for sweets. Stayed within calorie goal but over carb.
9/22 - 186.7 -- good record considering what I did yesterday. Well, I was able to exercise, however I ate too many carbs and too little protein. I ate way more than my caloric goal... like I overate bigtime. The culprit -- BREAD! Before I became mindful of what I ate, I have this habit of trying any 'new' food that I see. And here in my place, there's a lot of varieties of bread and pastries that I never encountered before. To cut the story short, my colleague brought with her a freshly baked stuffed bread with stuffing I've never seen before, soem sort of green powder mixed with feta cheese, I think. And it smelled so good and tasted good, the supposed one bite became 4 pieces of it, one piece the size of half my fist. Then I snapped out of it, asked the ingredients she used, and felt like crying. Need to behave big time!
9/23 - 185.6 -- Looked like behaving well yesterday did the trick, apparently. Was able to accomplish my exercise goal again and finally hit my protein goal. A friend of mine just came back from vacation and his greeting when he finally saw me was, "What happened to you? Aren't you eating? You lost weight!!!" and I was like thinking, "really? I don't even see the difference in the mirror..." but well, I was really happy.
9/24 - 185.4 -- yesterday was a repeat of 09/20: too many carbs and too little protein. Though I'm glad that it didn't affect my weight, I know that I should correct this or this will become a big problem. Any suggestion on how to avoid overeating carbs?
9/25 - 184.9 -- woohoo!!! still doing good! Exercise done! Complete log done! I finally lowered by carbs intake (though still over) and hit my protein goal! Hopefully, I can keep this rate and finally be able to consistently hit my macros goals.
9/26 - 185.6 -- water retention. Had a tasty yet salty noodle dish last night. I knew I shouldn't even have had it, but it's a dish I haven't have for years, so I indulged in a cup and half of sinful goodness... Moving on!!!

SWR17: 155
GWR17: 153
Number of perfect days in challenge: 5 (Had three perfect days before the start the challenge.)
To make it a perfect day for me:
1. Exercise. Got to get at least 20 minutes
2. Log my food. Doesn't have to be <daily MFP calorie goal. But I need to log it!
3. No Sugary Foods
4. No Alcohol
5. No Boxed Cereal.
+ 9/20: 155- Exercise is going to be the hardest part for today. I slept in this morning; my lunch was filled with a work project and this evening will probably be filled with kids activities. Got in a workout last night after work. So it was a "perfect day" after all.
+ 9/21: 153.5- Missed the morning workout again. Need to figure out a better way to be successful. Wine night or exercise and 5 days of perfection? Family and a bit of exercise. Rode the bike to the parade with the boy. Not a sweaty workout. But I got out and moved. I'm calling it a success.
- 9/22: 154.5- Dry roasted peanuts and walnuts last night before bed. I'm sure the sodium is the culprit for the additional pound. That and I need to... nevermind. Worked out this morning on the elliptical. Planning on a lunchtime walk. Ate some of DDs turtle sundae.
- 9/23: (Don't remember)- Food pretty good. But I did have a brownie. Still under calorie goals. Shaun T for workout.
- 9/24: (Don't remember) Sweaty workout on the elliptical, followed by hours in the garden. Food choices good. I did eat a couple of brownies, but my calories were still below MFP goals. Made thai lettuce wraps, maki rolls, and miso soup. LOTS of sodium.
+ 9/25:158- Yeppers. Worked my *kitten* off this weekend, kept under my calorie goals, and I am up 3.5 pounds from last week. GRRRR. Pretty sure it is water retention from the high sodium meal I made last night. But still! Hard day yesterday. Chose to sleep this morning. Lunchtime walk was done. as well as 50 minutes of walking and venting around the HS track. Honey Wheat pretzels are my current issue.
+ 9/26: 154.5- Back down. But still up. Morning exercise. Food good. But did I happen to mention those honey wheat pretzels?!? UGH!
+ 9/27: 155. Those blasted pretzels! Workout this morning of Piyo. Pretty lame. I'll be walking tonight. Going to have the husband hide the pretzels before I get home.

We're here in your cheering section. Yes, this too shall pass. We've all been in the dumps and let things go but being here together in the challenges helps. Let me give you a virtual hand and pull you up out of your doldrums. It's more fun up here where the glass is half full!

]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.
Start Weight: 202
R17: 174.6
GW: 174
UGW:125
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.
09/27: 173.6 I hit my 1500 calorie goal! No, I didn't eat more even though I exercised. That was an accomplishment in itself. I also decided to up my steps by 500 because I finally got into the swing of walking more. Let's hope this eating more calories things work! Oh...oh...oh...I also did research and found that what most doctors consider good macros is 40% carbs, 30% fat, and 30% protein. So, I've adjusted that too.

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.
9/27- No weigh in today. I have no hot water and the boiler piece is going to take a few days to get. On top of that, my oven died this morning. I will be without for probably the next week and a half. We ate fast food for dinner, and I'm ok with that. It fell within my calories (barely). Tomorrow is a new day and I will utilize my crock-pot the best I can. I just hope I can come up with some low calorie ideas for it.

SW - 106.5 kg
CW - 101.1 kg
GW - 75 kg
Im kg not lbs but will update to lbs when finished. My goal is to be under 100kg by the end of these 10 days.
9/20 - 101.1kg this morning
9/21 - 100.7 kg
9/23 - 100.6 kg
9/24 - 101.0 kg this sucks a bit of a gain. Generally im aiming for 80% whole foods. Today would have been 50% whole foods. Seems to make a difference.
9/25 - 100.8kg
9/26 - 100.8kg ive been pretty bad the last 2 days. Just eating more bread and having the odd choc treat then i normally allow myself. Meal prepping today so back on task
9/27 -100.8kg
9/28 -101.0kg im in the few days before that time of month and i must say my hunger increases and this month ive really struggled saying no to those cravings. It sucks because i really wanted to get under that 100kg mark and i have sabotaged myself these last few days. I havent made the healthiest choices today but i am under calorie goal so we will see how the scales are. Last month i put on 0.8kg the day before i was due which is just crazy.

@TerriRichardson112 Thank you! I'm enjoyed my sushi! Definitely need to work on getting more water in.
@KayHBE Fellow 5'6er! Yup, just hit the normal BMI range. You're just a few away!
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 circuit 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.
9/27: 154.2/Wow! This is an insane drop. Might go back up but for now...I've hit the normal BMI range!!!! Had my sushi today (delicious!) and I think it's within my calories (based on estimates, not measurements). Couldn't get any workout in today but played some casual badminton with my students.

Ready to go again
Current weight: 135.8
8 week goal: 125
Long term goal: 115?
9/20 135.8 was lower yesterday but ate a burrito for dinner last night because kitchen sink exploded.
9/21 133.6 well that was unexpected. Let's see if the drop sticks around...
9/22 135.2 noooope. Oh well. Still trending downward
9/23 134.4 down again. Good enough.
9/24 135.0
9/25 136.8 ooof. Let my carb intake creep up the last couple days and it really shows on the scale...
9/26 134.8 kept carbs lower yesterday and the effect is pretty immediate

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.
9/27: 173.5..... A cautious hooray. Don't break my heart, please don't go back up.
I did OK on calories today, no added sugar, good on water, jogged my mile. Did I mention I can now JOG ONE MILE? Like jogging the whole way, even if it's slow. It's a big deal in my world.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/20: 161.8 In the 161s!!! Yippee!
9/21: 161.0 "Flushed" a lot out today, so probably won't stick. Nice to see nonetheless! 10-day average is below 163. Yay!
9/22: 160.6 Gooooaaalllll!
9/23: 160.2 Pleasantly surprised.
9/24: 159.8 Welcome 150s! It's lovely to see you again. Even if you don't stick around tomorrow, I know you are in the neighborhood and we'll be together soon.
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.
9/27: 160.2 Dear 150s, where did you go? We were just getting aquainted. What did I do to scare you off? Was it the cheeseburger on Monday night? I was still at 1300 calories for the day and sodium under 2,700. Yes, it's more than usual, but not over a half pounds' worth. Whatever it is that drove you away, come back. We can work it out. Love, Me.

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
Observations, and Previous RoundsMany 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!Round 16: (Target: 160) Highest, 162.4; lowest, 160.2; Mean, 161.3 It's slow, but I am very happy with the downward trend.
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 a gain due to 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.
But remember to live a little along the way!

Start this round 156.8
Goal this round 155
Let's go!
9/20 157.4 uhg! What is this?? Why do I gain so much during my cycle???
9/21 155.6 yeh!
9/22 155.4 holding!
9/23- 156.6
9/24- 157 - too much wine and not enough tracking over the weekend.
9/25 155.6 back to my before weekend weight....
9/26 155.8 - ok this is where daily weighing is so valuable. Without it, I'd creep up at this point. Because of it I am aware of what's happening as I become too relaxed with my eating. Goal is 155 end of this round.
9/27 155.6. - ok so back to Monday.. overall 1 down from beginning of round. It's true, if you only kind of do the plan you only kind of loose weight...
9/28 155 - that's right! Had a great workout yesterday. Kind of struggling with late night snacking though....want to hold this number through the weekend.

Round 17
RD14 start 252.6 End 252.8
RD15 start 252.8 End 254.2
RD16 start 257.0 End 256.4
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.
9/23 255.0 Not happy, nope not at all, tired of the yoyoing
9/24 255.0
9/25 255.0 Today's goal is watch the sugar and carb intake, walk 8000 steps and enjoy the day.
9/26 255.0 The needles kinda stuck but I met my eating goals for yesterday, steps were a little low.
9/27 255.7
9/28 256.5 I got stuck in the sixties for a long time and now I'm stuck in the fifties, lets go forties haha.

R14 HW 198.2 LW 192.6 Total weights Average: 194.9
R15 HW 195.4 LW 191.8 Total weights Average: 193.7
R16 HW 194.6 LW 190.8 Total weights Average: 192.8
So the general trend is downward!!!
R17 (4th round for me)
Highest recorded weight: 201 Lbs
I'm still on vacation. Let's see how I do!!!
Goal for this round is to say goodbye to 190's forever!!!! Weight on 9/19: 193.2
R17 (4th round for me)
9/20 - 191.6
9/21 - 191.2
9/22 - 191.4
9/23 - No Scale
9/24 - No Scale
9/25 - 191.4
9/26 - 193.4 So there's a few things going on here. Firstly I'm on a new scale. Secondly I'm sick with a bad cold. Thirdly I was forced to eat gluten for the past 2 days while travelling (it's makes me blow up like a balloon). So I'm pretty sure this is just crazy bloating and not a real number.
9/27 - 191.4
9/28 - 190.8!! Yay! I'm finally back here!!! Let's keep it this way this time!!!
9/298 -
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
9/23 I truly forgot to track - I weighed in but don't remember!!
9/24 162.0 - my family had a surprise 30th birthday for me on Saturday so not too bad!!
9/25 161.8 - moving the right way despite more cake since Sunday was my real birthday and TOM all weekend
9/26 162.8 - my friend made me ice cream cake for work yesterday so I had to have some - plus a salty dinner - anyone else bounce between the same weights? It's never 162.7 or 162.9, always 162.8, 162.0, 161.8 etc...
9/27 161.6 - better!! Have to keep it together the next 2 days!!
9/28 161.3 - woo!! Keeping it together for one more day!! Gotta keep up the activity too!!
9/299 -
Day/Weight/Comment
9/20 198.7
9/21 194.7 I know four lbs is a lot but I just recently (Monday) cut carbs down. I only eat good carbs and I cut out sugar. So my body is getting rid of water weight. My mind feels really clear!
9/22 196.4 Wine = bad choices
9/23 196.4 I have to stay on track today! The weekend is when I usually sabotage myself with eating like crap.
9/24 195.6 Today will be good! Going to the gym, shopping and meal prep
9/25 196.6 I stayed under my calories yesterday. I did go to the gym so maybe my muscles are retaining a little water. I feel really good today though. Finished lots of meal prep yesterday! I cooked ground turkey, turkery breast, crab stuffed mushrooms, and beef stuffed halved peppers. My week is off to a great start! Happy Monday everyone!
9/26 196.4 Meals are all planned for today and I'm meeting my sister at the gym tonight.
9/27 196.8 I worked out yesterday, stayed under calories. I thought I'd see the scale go down. Maybe tomorrow.
9/28 194.6 Yay!!!!! I've been working hard the past few days. Nice to see the scale go down!9
