Round 19 is set up and posted in <Challenges> It starts on Tuesday 10 October. I hope you will join us there for another 10 days.

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!

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.

Don't beat yourself up over a temporary gain. Trust the process and stick with the programme.
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!

SW 155.7 35.5% BF (July 19, 2017)
GW 125-130, 25% BF
Start this round 136.6 29.3% BF
Goal this round 134.0 27.8% BF

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 136.6 28.8%BF Ran 4 mi and did yoga in the morning, running around all day to kid’s activities so ate out but tried to pick low carb options. Cheated on one more glass of wine for the week. Sleep not great again.
10/1 137.7 28.9% BF Ran 5 mi and did Gymnastic Bodies front split stretching routine. That is going to hurt—my plan is to do it once a week! Made a healthy smoothie for lunch.
10/2 137.6 28.9% BF Really sore from stretching (retaining water?). Water walked in the lazy river. Lots of walking while coaching the XC kids.
10/3 137.8 28.8% BF Run 5K in the morning, gentle yoga in the evening, on my feet a lot today because of labs
10/4 138.9 28.8% BF Had the munchies after work yesterday because I was so tired so snacked more than I should have, yoga/strength in the morning today, walked 5K before lunch, walking a bit with XC coaching in the evening. Feel like I am coming down with a sore throat.
10/5 137.7 28.8 %BF Hosting a job candidate at work so had to squeeze a 30 min run in between meetings, out to dinner with candidate so ate a bit more than I would have normally
10/6 138.6 28.5 %BF Difficulty sleeping (too much work to do on my mind) so got up super early to finish it, didn’t do my water walking because of lack of time so walked later in the day, had some chocolate and a little beer (10 oz cherry sour (mm)) in the evening
10/7 137.3 28.3% BF Slept really well! BF Ran 4 mi + walked 1 mi first thing in the morning, ), going to stretch and do PT later in the day to stay healthy
10/8 137.0 28.4%BF Ran 6 mi and walked another 1.5 mi, intense stretch program, a couple of healthy smoothies to rehydrate and give me some protein
10/9 138.0 28.5% BF Water walked in the morning and did some yoga and PT

Up 1.4 lbs and down 0.8% BF. I think the averages are at least lower than last time even if the overall goals weren’t met. Probably also has to do with time of the month...round 19 should be better!

10 Day Goal: I know weight loss is going to be difficult without an oven, so I will be focusing mainly on fitness while trying to stay as close to my calorie goal as possible. Hoping to have 10 miles complete by the end of the 10 days and possibly get down to 152.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 152.68 We have hot water! Lots of housecleaning today but no walk. We are at a friend's house for dinner tomorrow, so I have no control on what is being made. I really want to get exercise in just in case it is something high in calories.
10/1 152.46 Running behind on checking in. I managed 1.3 miles walking and remained under calories eating with friends, including some wine.
10/2 151.36 I stepped on and off the scale 4 times because I was in disbelief of this number.

Really hoping it stays. Walked another mile today.
10/3 151.8 I knew yesterday's number was a bit too low to be true.

I'm still very happy with my current lose. I pushed myself to do another 1.5 miles today. My husband is being very supportive of me trying to get in better shape and has been walking with me which is really helping.
10/4 151.58 No workout today.
10/5 150.48 Not sure how accurate this number is. Weight loss and staying under calories right now is more to do with life stress and being overly busy than a conscious effort.
10/6 151.8 Ate junk food for dinner, but remained under calories.
10/7 151.58 Slept most of the day. Went out with friends and had a few drinks. Feeling lazy and unmotivated.
10/8 151.36 Went on a 3.5 mile hike today. Trying to get back on track.
10/9 152.68 Not thrilled with this number at all. No idea why I've gained this since I never go over calories. I didn't have a great 10 days and hope the next 10 will be better.

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.
10/7 - 225.6 oh well

This group has been life changing for me. Accountability is something that I need.
SW: 172.6
GW: 172 (30 lb. loss when I get there)
UGW: 125

10/01: 172.6 It's officially October! I think I need to break out some hot apple cider. I'll totally skip pumpkin spice.
10/02 172.2 I wasn't expecting a drop of any kind today, but this thrills me to no end. Only 2 more oz. to go, and I've lost a total of 30 lbs. I CAN AND WILL DO THIS!
10/03 172.2 Steady...steady. I put in about 10,000 steps yesterday. I ate all of my calories plus 17 more before exercise.
10/04 172.6 Well, I'm up 4 oz today. I was in meetings all day, so I didn't get as many steps in. I'll get there to that 30lbs...eventually.

10/05: 172.6 Did not eat nearly enough in calories AND didn't get a lot of steps in. I also barely drank anything at all. It wasn't because I didn't want to. I simply had a lot of personal things going on. I have a tendency to not eat much when upset. I've been this way all of my life.
10/06: 172.8 It's slowly creeping back on me. I was at work until almost 7 last night. I had Taco Bell for dinner even though I did go with a healthy option, but I ate late. Not good at all.

10/07 171.6 YES!!!! DOING THE HAPPY DANCE! (I literally did one too.)I MET MY GOAL, AND I'VE LOST 30.4 LBS NOW!
10/08 171 I don't even know what to say. I weighed myself, and it didn't even register that I lost more weight until I saw my post from yesterday. I am so thrilled! I'm getting so close to dropping down to the next digits.
10/09 171 I am finishing out this round with a 1.6 lb loss! I'm officially down 31lbs. I had to buy myself new undergarments, and I bought myself a pair of jeans because mine are starting to fall off. I also biked 6 miles yesterday with my hubby.

ehseeker · October 2017

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!
10/7 142 ...and the beat goes on
10/8 140.6 ... 45 yesterday on ellip and made another crustless quiche. Had wayyyy too many carbs yesterday.

10/9 141.8 ..75 min on ellip yesterday and still a gain... son made Gen Tzo's... no rice but the sodium... Ending this round higher than I started. Phooey.
I believe in my ability to lose weight and keep it off! I love eating healthy food and nurturing my body

Day/Weight/Comment
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!!
10/7 - 154.4 ....or not?
10/8 - 154.8 heavy day of good and some drinks. Have company this weekend. I don’t like the number but I do know it’s not actual weight gain (at least not all of it) and I know I can take care of it.... it is slowing me down though. It’s hard not to fall into old habits when with old friends..

UGW 140

29/9 - 195.2 - I've a meal out on the 30th for hubbys 50th with his family I WILL make good choices.

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
06/10 - 196.4 - pizza late at night (kids friends bought it, and the left overs, that's 1 1/2 pizzas,(of which I ate 1/2 a 10 inch pizza) found their way to the kitchen, I had been under calories all day but this 1:30AM munch pushed me up to just under maintenance calories .. I also drank my water
07/10 - 198.2 - deserved!! -- well under calories drank my water - sciatica is killing off my weight loss at the moment .. I can't wait till I get my physio and I can get back to exercising properly!
08/10 - 198.2 - drank water and under calories

SW: 269.4 (9/12/17)
Highest: 279.8
CW: 262.0
R17SW: 264.2 R17EW: 262.0 Loss: 2.2

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

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

10/7 - 260.8 - I suppose that's better than a gain. I didn't get quite as much sleep as I was hoping to. Tonight's the night.
10/8 - 257.2 - I felt good about yesterday. Compensated for taking my oldest out for lunch. Went on a family walk (got my 10k steps), did a 20 minute Zumba video, and got a little more sleep. Tonight is our weekly pizza night. Gonna make sure to burn those calories off so I can end this round by having met my goal!
10/9 - 256.6 - Not only did I meet, but I surpassed my goal! Woo!!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 - 223.6 - I have to get back on the ball with working out this week.
10/1 - 224.6 - I'm just having a rough run hovering within the same pound though so I guess that's not terrible.
10/2 - 225.6 - I HAVE to get back on the ball. Two weeks with little to no exercise and spotty tracking is catching up with me. Determined to get to the gym tonight and start getting everything back on track.
10/3 - 224.2 - Heading back in the right direction. Got to the gym and stayed in calories yesterday. Renewed motivation.
10/4 - 223.6 - Looks like things are under control again. Just have to keep working at it.
10/5 - 222.6 - I guess I was holding on to a lot of water. Numbers keep going down now that I'm back to walking three miles every night and keeping my diet in check. I'm pleased.
10/6 - 222.4 - Moving in the right direction. Going to have to make sure I keep it together this weekend w/ food and exercise so I don't backslide.
10/7 - 223.2 - Ugh. Binged so hard last night. Can't even begin to figure out how much I actually ate. That's OK though because today is a new day.
10/8 - 225.6 - too many drinks and snacks last night. I was so good at this when I started and now I feel like I'm completely failing.
10/9 - 223.6 - Better. My average is staying the same, so I'm at least maintaining and not really gaining. On to the next round.

9/30 - 157.2
10/1 - 157.4
10/2 - 157.4
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.
10/6 - 158.6 - Whatever
10/7 - 157.8 - Well crap...maybe I'll get back to where I started the round. I'm being sooooo disciplined...Gallon of water a day, exercise with trainer and on my own, and following my meal plan to a T. Awaiting the whoosh...
10/8 - 157.8
10/9 - 156.6 - There it is...just in the nick of time. Not goal, but I'll gladly take it!

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.
10/7-196.0- This was expected. Ate fast food last night and went for the fries. Over calories for the day, but not over maintenance. It should balance out for the week, still fast food was a bad choice.
10/8-196.4- Over calories by 200 or so, but I couldn't calculate it, still under maintenance. Need to increase water today and try to flush out those weekend mistakes!
10/9-196.0- Over all a good day yesterday. I didn't make it to my goal for this challenge, but I did make it to the Goal I had originally set, and I'm happy with that. Total loss 1.6 lbs! Hope to see the 195's in the near future.

SW 184 (like 2 years ago!)
CW 178
GW 165 (for now)

I went into R17 at 179ish and ended it at 178. Goal for this round is 176 or lower.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 - 176.4. Nice drop! Yesterday I ate super clean and made sure to get my water in. I've had a cold, so I've hardly moved, though. I'm hoping to get a walk or hike in today. This is my first full 10 day challenge and I'm excited to be involved.

10/1 - 177.2 I ate clean again yesterday and went on a hike. I'm recovering from a cold, so I turned around sooner than I'd planned, but I still did 3 miles and managed over 11,000 steps for the day. I've started ignoring MFPs calories and going off my Fitbit. MFP routinely gives me almost 300 calories more than my fitbit says I should eat, so I'll play around with this and see what happens. I had 2 NSVs victory - 1) I made a vegetarian dinner and really enjoyed it, and 2) I realized my weight would likely pop up today, and when it did, I didn't feel discouraged. This challenge is already helping me, thank you! Today I'm smoking tri-tips for dinner; portions may be an issue because they are delish!
10/2 - 177. Yay! I'm surprised after a nice dinner with wine last night, but my calories were spot on.
10/3 - 176.2. I was actually pretty hungry yesterday but tamed it with healthy foods.
10/4 - 176.2. Nothing major to report. Ate well, calories on target, and managed to go on a walk.
10/5 - 177. My calories have been good, this is a normal daily fluctuation, I think. I had a little wine last night and not enough water yesterday.
10/6 - 178. This literally makes no sense at all. Except our weight fluctuates daily. Right?!? Perhaps I didn't drink enough water yesterday, but everything else was spot on.
10/7 - 177.4. Polished off a bottle of wine with hubby last night and I was expecting this number to be higher. It's starting to look like I won't hit 176 this round. We have Chinese food somewhere in our weekend and I imagine just the sodium will keep me from dropping, even if my calories are good. But, we shall see.
10/8 - 180.4. All I have to say is "Chinese food." my calories weren't even too horrible yesterday.
10/9 - 180.2.

I know this isn't fat. I know I didn't gain any actual weight from one meal. I also know that one meal didn't undo all the miles I walked last week or the fact that I'd eaten at/under my calorie goal for 9 of the 10 days. But to end my first full round higher than I started, when I'd been diligent about staying under calories and exercising... Sucks.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/30 185.4 I'm so happy. I don't know if it'll last but for right now, I'm thrilled. I've been working so hard with tracking.
10/1 185.4 Staying strong.
10/2 186.4 I didn't drink a lot of water and ate out this weekend. I'm hoping for a whoosh soon.
10/3 185.6 I did better yesterday with the water. I just feel better when I drink it a lot. I'm so close to 20 lbs. gone, I can taste it!
10/4. 184.4 The good thing today: I lost 20.4! The bad thing: I threw up on the way to work today. So now I'm home with a fever and nausea. I'm hoping this is just a stomach bug.
10/5 185.2 Dang it! Hoping I would stay down in the 184s. I'm feeling better today. I didn't eat a whole lot yesterday with the stomach yuckies.
10/6 184.4 Yippee! Let's see how this weekend goes.
10/7 184.2. I don't know how long the downward trend will last but I'll take it!
10/8 181.0 ??? I had to get on the scale several times to make sure. I even took out the battery to reset it. I'm so shocked. My friends and I are having a garage sale so it was donuts for breakfast and Arby's for lunch. And a Three Musketeers for a snack. Went over my calories for the first time in a long time. So I'll see tomorrow if this lasts. Right now though...it's a great start to a Sunday!
10/9 182.8 I knew it was a fluke yesterday...However, I've lost 2.6 pounds in this round. So, that's wonderful. This keeps me accountable so I'll be in for the next rounds also.

Have a great Monday everyone!
