9/30: 154.6
/Going back down to my lowest from R17. Ate under calories today but no exercise. The next two days are going to be a wash. I'm going to a conference in Maine and plan to enjoy myself in terms of food. I will try to still estimate everything I eat!
10/1: 155
/Up again. I don't know why. I mean, It's still my TOM and I didn't drink much water yesterday. It's equally disappointing because I'm going on this conference now and planning to eat more than usual. Well, off to the airport.
10/2: No scale (conference in Maine): I ate over calories by a lot yesterday+today and did not and could not log everything...from lobster with butter to fries to specialty donuts and all the random munchies in between, along with alcohol. I throughly enjoyed myself but I'm terrified of the repercussions.
10/3: To scared to weigh myself: It was hard to get back into the groove today. I didn't have snacks prepped. I felt peckish all day and munched on gourmet popcorn and random snacks. I stayed within calories, just barely, with little nutritional value and didn't go to the gym today. It was hard. I hope tomorrow will be a better day. I will weigh myself tomorrow.
10/4: 155.8/Sigh, very disappointing. Was over calories but not by much. Getting back into the groove has been difficult (writing this on 10/5)
10/5: 155.2/I just wish I was back in the 154s. Fasted until 2pm today because of physical/fasting blood glucose test. Actually came in at 155.8 in the morning but 155.2 (with dress on) at the doctor's office. I've decided to log the lower weight here while acknowledging my home scale weight. Under calories right now because of the fasting. Walked 10,000+ steps and biked 3 miles home from the doctor's. Also got some awesome size 10 American Eagle jeans and a size 8 pair to work towards!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 164.6 Ugh. 3lbs up from R17 end weight. Not going to get too discouraged. I have been drinking this week and eating fast food so time to cut back again on the alcohol & carbs.
10/1 166. Sigh
10/2 165.8
10/3 165. Trying not to feel discouraged. I learned one time that I should think of my weight as a "range of numbers" rather than just one number, so 165 is now at the top of the range rather than the bottom like it was 20 days ago. Focusing on tracking, drinking my water and watching my carbs!
10/4 163.8 Trending downward. Stayed within calorie goals and watched carbs yesterday. Feeling really stressed today and trying to force myself to eat but I haven't been successful so far.
10/5 162 Pretty big drop again. Glad to be moving down but also mindful of the fact that I was way under calorie goals yesterday and worked out. Trying to make sure that I eat enough today to have more stable weight loss and not yo-yo.

Fine on calories, no added sugar, did some walking. I'm trying to talk myself into a short jog still tonight. Tried quinoa pizza crust for the first time, I'll definitely have it regularly. It's easier to make and less messy than traditional flour or cauliflower crust (which I only tried once but it was a pain to rice and drain the cauliflower).
10/1: 172.5 lbs
Good on calories, water, no added sugar but I made a small dessert with dates. Led a two-hour nature walk at work, which was fun.
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. But, we went out to eat as we do every Monday so I had too many calories at one meal but stayed technically in my day's calorie goal. I also walked/jogged two miles. No added sugar.
10/3: 172.0
Just OK on food, didn't go over calories. I did have added sugar: accidentally had sweetened tea and had Szechuan sauce at dinner. Got a little exercise. Tomorrow's my Monday, will try to get a solid 8 hours.
10/4: 173.0
Had too much sodium yesterday, and probably today, too. No sugar, though. Woke up at 4:00 am for no reason, I hate that. No exercise today, I'll go to bed early and try to get it together to walk to work tomorrow.
10/5: 173.5
Fine on calories, no added sugar. Stayed away from sodium today, hope I'm down a little tomorrow. It didn't even cross my mind to walk to work this am, lol, totally forgot. I did get a nice walk in during work, though, almost 2.5 miles.

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 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!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. 155.2 wine last night
10/1 - 155.2 holding
10/2 - 155.2 goal was to not gain over weekend. Goal met, but now ready for scale to get moving...
10/3 - 155.8 - not the right direction.went out for dinner... probably due to sodium. Looking forward to a bike ride today.
10/4 - 154.4. - 10lbs LOST!!!!!!!! Happy dance
10/5 - 153.6 - I’m liking this!! Company coming for the weekend, extra challenge, but I think I’ve changed my mindset enough that I will stay the course.
10/6 - 153.2 - this is happening!!9 -
ROUND 18 - my round 5
Round 4 was rough. It included my 30th birthday and many celebrations and lots of food for it. I ended it at 162 which is 0.5 above where I ended last round. So, let's see what this round does. I WILL do more exercise this round.
9/30 162.1 well yesterday was off the rails so I'm not supremely surprised...a 0.1 lb gain is basically just a normal fluctuation - going to do better. Not try -DO
10/1 161.0 - not sure what I did but wahoo!! Actually if I had to pinpoint it - not a lot of food before bed and purposeful exercise and barely any (if any) snacking. MUST KEEP THIS UP!!
10/2 161.0 - gotta keep this going in the right direction - gotta work out today after work no excuses
10/3 161.6 forgot to post yesterday
10/4 161.7 - no exercise the past 2 days - I HAVE to change that
10/5 161.0 - added in a long after work walk yesterday - also no snacks from the snack box at work - mist continue this for another day
10/6 161.4 - had cake for hubby's birthday and did not get to work out. No bad snacks at work though. Going out tonight with hubby's mom to celebrate our dual birthdays and going out tomorrow with hubby (but he will let me pick the place so all should be ok in that area) - but will likely get no formal workout today - trying to bring my average weight down though. TRYING!

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.
10/3 - 227.6
10/4- 226.6 over ate yesterday but put in 1hr 14 min of riding and floor exercises. Not proud but coping. I want to at least reach back to 223 by the end of the round.
10/5 - 225.8 1 1/2hr walking. After some initial 'i don't wanna' coupled with sleepy legs and tight back, i did it!
3.7miles now for continuity. Back to work tomorrow.
10/6 - 225.4 So far I've done 7 hrs of exercise and personally I feel great. This is what has to be done and it will be done.

10/3 - 157.4 - I really love this challenge. I was skeptical about weighing every day. I've tried it before and it's never really worked for me. I would go through periods with no movement or a tick upward and I would get frustrated and go off the rails. However, this gives me accountability and support and even on Groundhog Days, a glance to the top of my post each day and taking a moment to honor my steady progress keeps me going. Thanks to all of you. I love checking in and seeing how everyone is doing each morning!
10/4 - 157.6 - And then some days I wanna toss my scale out the window.
10/5 - 158.6 - Oh for goodness sake. I literally followed my food plan exactly to the oz and worked out with my trainer, so I have no clue what this business is about. I choose to focus on my new dress for a work photo shoot that looks spectacular on me.

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.
10/4: 162.2 Telling myself this is normal. I started C25K yesterday. This is the most exercise I have had in a while. I want to see if I have the potential to be a "runner" even though I have always said it wasn't for me.
10/5: 162.0 Better direction today! Woke up feeling the edges of a cold. I always have the urge to eat when I have a cold. My plan is hot tea if i need it. Planning to do w1d2 of c25k today. Hopefully feeling up to it.
10/6: 161.4 Hoping this number is more stable now! Good day yesterday. I think my immune system is doing its job as I feel better today. Going out to eat tonight with no plan to go over; I will make it work!

30/09 - 193.2 - stood on the scale again (in shock) and it said 193 !!!! so I will go with the first result
01/10 - 193.6 - happy with this = way over calories for the last two days
02/10 - 197.2 <<<<<<<<<< I am starting to seriously hate this "197" number!!!! although it is a deserved bounce, heavy weekend! water and cals are under maintenance
03/10 - 196 - over calories but drank water,
04/10 - 196 - under calories drank water
05/10 - 198.2 - I guess this is pay back for the weekend and the 3rd Oct ... still my average (so far) is below 196, under calories and drank my water

Hello Friends! Here we go again!!
SW - March 2017 - 182.4
GW - to maintain between 145-150- will try to hit 145 before adjusting to maintenance calories
9/29 - 148.4 - coming in from round 17
Round 18 ends on Canadian Thanksgiving...so to be honest I'll be thrilled if I can keep it under 150 at the end of the round
9/30 - 148.8 - I feel super crappy today...headache, scratchy throat, ache everywhere...we'll see how the day goes, if I feel like eating it will probably be comfort food but I'll try to be good. I had a long trail run planned this morning but that's out the window now...my dog is super disappointed LOL
10/1 - 149.0 - Woke up feeling no better today...if not worse. Ate hardly anything yesterday but also hardly moved, I'm so stiff and achey. Not going to worry about the weight too much until I feel better, my body is going to hold onto stuff as it kicks this bug to the curb.
10/2 - 149.0 - Diagnosis in...Strep infection. Lets see what this prescription does to my body besides kill the germies...
10/3 - 148.0 - Amazing how quickly antibiotics start to work. Feeling significantly better but still pretty weak and run down. I thing I sweated out a pound of water over night though while the fever broke...I was drenched!!
10/4 - 147.2 - that's what happens when you hardly eat anything for almost 4 days. Feeling so much better this morning and I seem to have my appetite back so we'll see if I can make this stick as my bod wants to re-fuel and repair.
10/5 - 147.4 - Feeling well enough to get in to work for a client today...mostly a planning day so nothing too physical. Hope I'm feeling up to a few hikes/runs on the trails this weekend to ward off the Thanksgiving pounds...
10/6 - 146.8 - Surprised but pleased. We went out for dinner after "Meet the Teacher" at school last evening. Ate more than I should have but probably kept total in somewhere around maintenance. Looking forward to a Yummy Thanksgiving weekend.

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.
10/4- 197.4- Woohoo! I stepped on the scale 3 times to be sure. Added more fiber, ate under calories & sodium. Dinner out yesterday, but still had plenty of calories left and made wise choices. (Salad bar, veggie soup, & fruit). Glad my husband chose that place, because my head was spinning about what is order at the other places her was naming.
10/5- 196.2 - No idea how that is possible, but I Checked 3 times. I'll take it! Was under calories yesterday.
10/6-195.4- Double checked. I'm still only a couple weeks into this, so that could be why it's coming off so fast, or the fiber increase, or water weight from lower sodium. Either way I'll take it and am happy. Ate way under calories yesterday. It wasn't intentional, I just didn't have a lot of time.

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
10/4 - 259.0 - I was right, it was a loss! Not by much, but a loss is a loss. As long as it's going in the right direction, I'm happy. Last night, I walked for about 20 minutes after dinner. This really seems to be important for me. Even though dinner was 3 pieces of leftover pizza, I had my walk and I had a loss.
10/5 - 260.2 - I am so frustrated. Yesterday was a really good day for me! I was under calories (when you consider exercise). I walked over an hour, got 11K steps, walked after dinner. The only reason I can think that it was a gain instead of a loss is that I didn't sleep very well. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of control over how much sleep I get right now (still pumping breastmilk for the baby which requires me to be up at 11 every night and 5 every morning), but the past few nights I've been waking up during my sleeping hours and just have been restless/uncomfortable. Luckily, my DH lets me get as much sleep as I need on the weekends, and I really feel like that helps. It's just really discouraging to work so hard and see a gain. I don't feel like giving up, but I do hope that tomorrow brings a nice big loss to keep me motivated. Oh, and today's my appointment with the podiatrist, so hopefully I'll find out what's wrong with my foot and a solution to fix the pain!
10/6 - 260.8 - Yesterday was a bad day. And I ate poorly for dinner. Mind you, not nearly as bad as I was eating for every meal just a few weeks ago, but not as good as I have been eating lately. I suppose I should be happy I only gained .6 pounds. I just feel so discouraged. Even though I didn't do an after dinner walk, I did still complete day 5 of a 30 day challenge. So, even though I was in a funk, I am still ahead of where I was 3 weeks ago. That's a win. Can't wait to get some sleep tonight and tomorrow! Hopefully that'll turn my mood around

Back again!I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Ended Round 17 at 140. I'm at roughly .5 a week loss. For this round I'd like to hit the 139's and stay in the 39's or below . Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 22 pounds.
9/30 141.4 Guess who didn't exercise and who had cheesecake and wine for dinner? Going to an Oktoberfest to do today. Will be walking in fresh air.
10/1 140.8 Indulged some at a buffet yesterday but also walked around quite a bit. Today back on ellip or maybe some more walking.
10/2 140.6 Sooo tired yesterday, no exercise. Took long nap. Think it's the change of seasons, maybe allergies. gym today for sure.
10/3 140.8 Considering how I ate yesterday = reuben and caramel apple = happy with this number. Went to gym, did therapy/exercise. Today, maybe a walk in the park to enjoy this glorious weather. or ellip. Now to up exercise and get below 140.
10/4 141.6 It finally caught up. No exercise yesterday. Allergy med had me listless. Today, gym and making chicken veggie soup which always helps me eat clean and lose. Come on, 139! I'm calling to you!
10/5 140.8 Great workout at gym. Changed things up a lot. Delightfully sore. Four more days to lose 1 pound and reach my goal for this round. Come on, Eileen!
10/6 141.4 Good grief! I understand I yoyo before permanently dropping but it still gets frustrating. Did an hour on ellip yesterday. I think this weight is partly salt. Give me a whoosh!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 254.2 -- My new profile picture looks like Mitch McConnell. Snacked right past any deficit yesterday. Had too much salt. Sigh. Attitude adjustment needed.
10/1 255.2 -- Too much salt & “après diary” snacking. I must do further work on my head to overcome this tendency to eat late at night when no one’s watching. Who is watching anyway? This is some deep, psychological *kitten* this weight loss stuff.
10/2 254.6 -- Headed back down after the snack attack. Complete eating with supper and then don’t snack. That’s the ticket.
10/3 254.2 -- Back to where I started this challenge. Now let’s see if I can get back to the low weight of last round!
10/4 253.4 -- Did it. Back to the low weight of last round. Now let’s see how much more we can drop off before we get on the road on Saturday.
10/5 255.0 -- Self-discipline is such a fragile thing for those of us who never really practiced it. Sigh. Now I have a decision to make. Do I go back to self-control today or do I throw caution to the wind and over eat like there are no consequences. I will promise this. I will get on the scale tomorrow.
10/6 256.2 -- I got on the scale. I also ate a whole mess’o’post-diary cheese, etc. last night. We get on the road tomorrow where no nighttime snacking possible. One more trip to the scale tomorrow then off for about a week & a half.
