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.

Goals: Keep up my hydration levels on the 2 weekends during this round and stretch 8/10 days.
Day/Weight/Comment
9/30--223.9 Normal fluctuation. Went out for lunch yesterday. Goal for today is to continue drinking water.
10/1--225 WATER!!! Stretched today.
10/2--224.4 Was much better with my water yesterday.
10/3--223.9 Sick today. Trying to stay hydrated.
10/4--221.7 I'm not going to get too excited about this number. When I'm sick I lose my appetite and yesterday I barely ate.
10/5--221.7 Was still sick yesterday. Today feeling better and appetite is back, so we'll see how the scale reacts tomorrow.
10/6--222.4 Totally expected this bump.
10/7--223.5 Ok, back to normal. Today I am going to stay hydrated. I decided that on the weekends I would fill up a 1 gallon container with water in the morning, sit it on my kitchen counter, I don't like cold water, and make sure I drink the container throughout the day. Let's see if this works.
10/8--224.8 My poor body, still trying to get back to balance after barely eating and drinking for 2 days and recovering from a cold. I definitely drank more water yesterday than usual and today I've already finished W2D1 of C25K and my 1 hour tennis lesson.

09/30 – 182.8 – This is my lowest recorded weight for the past 4 years! I couldn’t believe it! Finally, I’m back to this point! Slowly but surely is the way indeed, and even if I stumble along the way, what’s important is to get up and continue, never giving up or losing hope. Stay focused. Sometimes I’ll indulge and commit mistakes, feel guilty, but will still move on. Use the lessons learned and enjoy the journey to the healthier me.
10/01 - 182.8 -- no movement for today, hope this is just water. In any case, I did good today with no night snacking or sugary treats (though I still ate too many carbs, lol).
10/02 - 182.3 -- yey! got another drop from the reading. I wonder though when I'll manage my carbs. Seems like I overeat carbs 4 or 5 times in a week! Got lots of exercise today, though. Been practicing for a dance performance due two weeks from now, and I was also able to manage to squeeze in another exercise challenge.
10/03 - 183.2 -- a pound! But I was kinda expecting this, with the consecutive days that I had too many carbs, plus the exercises/workout/dancing that I did yesterday. I still went over my carbs today and didn't hit my protein goal, sadly. We'll see how things turn out tomorrow, if still the same, I'm gonna 'tweak' some things in the coming days.
10/04 - 182.1
10/05 - 181.7
10/06 - 179.2
10/07 - 180.9 -- been sick (feverish, colds and a hacking cough) for the past few days so I wasn't able to update my status. Sudden weight loss due to loss of appetite plus vomiting. Good thing I was able to down dinner last night. I'm not being mindful of what I eat for the meantime, just trying to eat whatever I can. I'm thinking of giving up this round until I feel better.
10/08 - 180.1 -- fever and colds gone, still coughing at times. Can definitely keep my food down now. Got some appetite back but I'm not feeling hungry? Or not feeling as hungry as I believe I should be...

I was running behind this morning. Some muscle soreness in my arms, shoulders and chest. I am considering the idea of challenging to myself to do 5 days of cardio instead of 3 next week.

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.

10/4 138.9 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.

10/6 138.6 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 (at least BF is inching down)
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.

10/4 - 193.8
10/5 - 192.9 Chipping away at the fluid and the weight. Bought ice cream yesterday because I went for a tooth cleaning and we all deserve something after that. Then I did not eat any ice cream because I liked where I was calorie wise for the day, and I was not hungry. WIN!
10/6 - 192.2 A lot of fruit and veg yesterday. Also the second half of a massaman curry. So much tastier on day two.
10/7 - 191.1 Nice number, but it goes up and down and up routinely. I have big peaks and valleys. But the overall trendline is down. Wedding today - I may indulge.

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: Too 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!
10/6: 153.8
/Not going to get excited yet! If I can stay under 154 by 10/9, I'll be ecstatic! Ate within calories (though estimated sweet potato fries, so who knows). Had two whiskey diet cokes. Hoping to stay on track for this long weekend! *Fingers crossed*
10/7: 152.4/I can't even believe it! Let's see where I end on 10/9. Have about 400 calories left for today. Hopefully I don't go over. I'm going to a sushi lunch with friends tomorrow. Fingers crossed that I eat right. Did some cleaning. Might go for a walk today as I haven't moved around much except for cleaning.
10/8: 152.4/Holding strong! I imagine an uptick tomorrow. I had amazing sushi and insane desserts (yes plural) and the thickest hot chocolate around. No regrets until tomorrow morning. I probably ate over calories (could only guesstimate) but probably under maintenance so any increase will be from water retention, etc. At least, I hope!

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.
10/6: 172.0
I think I shed some of that sodium but I didn't have enough water today and TOM is any time now so I might tick up again tomorrow. The thing is, I don't have the best scale and it sometimes gives me several different results when I step on/off a few times in a row. So I'm in the 172-173 range. Let's see, got some exercise, no added sugar today, calories in range.
10/7: 171.5
Not feeling like exercising today, so I didn't. OK on calories and water, no added sugar. Feeling bloated. Made a no-bake, no sugar cheesecake I can't eat til tomorrow because it's supposed to set for 24 hrs. Would like to eat it now.
10/8: 171.5
Woke up extra early today, had a piece of cheesecake at 5:30 am, lol, and again after dinner. I think I can improve on it next time but maybe I shouldn't, it's too tempting. Got home and my BF left me half of a pizza. It's relatively healthy frozen pizza , not more calories than I'd eat anyway but still high in sodium. So, fine on calories, a bit high in sodium and fat, barely met my water goal, got a little exercise, no added sugar.

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 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!

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.

R18 GW 220
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.

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 body6
