10/2: 172.0
Have to be honest, I live in Las Vegas and I didn't get much sleep, spent the day pretty depressed. I wasn't directly affected, it's just too close to home.
I feel you. I don't live there but have friends who do and were there at the concert. I was glued to the TV as reports came in...first 2 dead and 20 injured, then 20 dead and 50 injured, then 20 dead 100 injured, then 50 dead and 200 injured. Finally fell asleep for a couple of hours to wake up to over 50 dead and 500+ injured.
I haven't called my friends yet. At first because I wanted to make sure their cell phone use was available for their immediate needs and family, and now, for the moment at least, I don't want to know.
I felt really stupid weighing in this morning. Everything felt so insignificant in light of last night's horror.7 -

Yeah, that's a good way to put it, it feels a bit trite to worry about ounces of lettuce. Facebook has a "we're safe" check-in page, you might check there about your friends. I hope they are safe.

Whoops...knee not ready for swimming. Just walking then....
Goal - increase level of exercise (walking and swimming). Reduce my average weight for the round from 139.75.

10/1 - 139.2 - I made banana bread last night, it was so delicious I had 3 pieces and they weren't small! Today I did a short walk but knee hurt after a while. Physio tomorrow so I will ask exactly how much I can put my knee through.
10/2 - 138.8 - I made some sensible choices today. I'm hoping this trend continues

As the others said, seems somehow trite today, in light of what others are going through. <Prayers for all those affected>
@40lbslighter I hope your friends are safe.
I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has got me back on track big time!
Observations, and Previous Rounds
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!SW: 227; Lowest weight 18 Aug 2017: 159.2; Final goal weight: 147
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!

9/30: 163.8 Feeling awesome this morning. Down even with homemade pizza last night and some candy corn. Made it fit so no going over
Going to my in laws later and overnight so this will be hard. So. Much. Junkfood in their house!
10/1: 163.0 Yowza! I was not expecting that. I really think I'm still in the first 2 week quick drop I tend to do. I expect things will start to slow down this week. We didn't go to the in laws overnight so less temptation. We are going for the day today but I'm feeling confident!
10/2: 161.2 This really doesn't make sense. Too much. Scale was not off for my husband and batteries are new. I ate healthy but close to maintenence. My only thought is my sluggish digestive track got moving yesterday. TMI to share any more than that!
10/3: 161.6 Expected given the big drop yesterday.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30- 197.6 - I had been steady at 199.6 for several days, before I made a post in this challange last night. 197 was my goal, so I adjusted it. Happy with this loss. Calorie intake was a tad bit over yesterday. My husband made popcorn late and I had a couple handfulls.
10/1- 199 - First day since I've started a couple weeks ago that my weight has gone up a significant amount. I know why. I ate like cheap yesterday. Homecoming shopping with my son, stopped at McDonald's and has a cheese burger, then after we dropped them off we had pizza, and I had way more than I should have. Today is a new day. Moving forward.
10/2 -199.6- Wrong direction! I ate under my goal yesterday, and increased my water intake. I think I might need to increase my fiber. Going to buy bran flakes today. Also thinking perhaps my 197.6 reading from earlier this week was a fluke. 
10/3 -198- That is a better direction. Yesterday was a good day. Was under my calorie goal, increased the water. Haven't gotten to the store for more fiber rich foods, I will do that soon.

R15 SW - 72.2kg (159.2)
R16 SW - 72kg (158.7)
R17 SW - 70.6kg (155.6)
R18 SW - 71.1kg (156.8)
Goal - to get out of the 70s, stick to 5:2 and overall weekly calories.
9/30 - 71.1kg (156.8) - not too shabby after a huge pizza calzone last night.
10/1 - 71.8kg (158.3) - meh, Saturday night and wine influence. Have done a ‘starvation’ day of 5:2 today so scale will hopefully bounce down tomorrow. Normally Sunday morning weigh ins are around the 73kg mark so this is a positive sign.
10/2 - 72.1kg (159) - WT? No reason for this, stuck to 5:2 low calories, normal exercise undertaken. Just one of those things, hopefully it budges tomorrow though!
10/3 - 71kg (156.5) - This is better. Just need it to keep going down and hopefully nothing comes along before the 60s hit to throw me out of whack. Starvation day today so tomorrow’s weigh in should be better.

R18GW: 258.0
Goal: Continue to log all my food each day.
9/30 - 259.8 - Went grocery shopping last night. Got more veggies and no junk food. Let's see if I can survive the week! Last week I didn't buy any candy and after a few days, I wasn't craving it as much, so I'm keeping that up!
10/1 - 259.0 - Took my middle child out for lunch and had only protein for dinner to compensate. I was really craving junk last night but did not indulge. It paid off! Today is our weekly pizza night with the in-laws, so I'm going to try really hard not to have a gain tomorrow.
10/2 - 258.6 - Woohoo! Again, I planned my day around having pizza at night and I made sure to get a few walks in and I had a loss. Not by a lot, but usually Monday mornings means a gain of ~3 pounds. I feel like I'm really starting to get into the right mindset and it's getting easier and easier to have willpower. Not easy, mind you, but easier. Looking forward to more loss tomorrow
10/3 - 259.4 - Ugh. A gain. Less than a pound, but still. I am really seeing how important it is for my body that I walk or exercise or do something after dinner. Based on the walk I took earlier in the day and my calories, I was under. But I guess I need to make sure to add a 20 minute post-dinner walk in to my routine. Also, I didn't get much sleep, which could have been a contributing factor. Either way, I'm still under 260 and I am determined NOT to break that threshold again! Tomorrow will be a loss, I can feel it in my determination already

9/30 - 226.2 TOM and stress eating. I got up at 3:30 am to get my 18 yr old off to a job 15 minutes away that starts at 5. (herbalist/stoner/pot head - pick one). After doing battle for an hour it went down hill, I started eating badly from then with grilled lamb strips until 11 pm ending with 2 whole wheat buns with franks and cheese. It definitely was not pretty. Nothing I ate left me satisfied. Previously when my eating was unchecked it would be from high calorie meals and not from foraging. I didn't recognize myself. The first mistake was not drinking my cup of decaf coffee/tea. The heat early in the morning calms me until breakfast. Back to routine. I've joined the 24hr exercise challenge to motivate me for October. So at least when I wake for 3:30 Monday I can fill the time with riding my bike before work. Lemons=lemonade.
10/1 - 229 no comment
10/2 - 227.6 yesterday 1hr stationary bike. Today 1hr indoor walking - leslie sansone et al. I pull up a vid on youtube and put on techno via my phone. Any constant talking bores me. So win win. Suffice it to say, I am definitely not fit.Lol.
