SW 198
UGW 145-149

Round 18 average weight 176.6
Start this round 177.0
Goal this round <173

10/10 177.0
this makes me feel like I've made no progress, as the previous round I had several days at 175. But It's probably still just water weight from vacation. I also am having a tough time getting back in the game mentally. I want to eat salty and sugary things, not fruits and vegetables! Ok.. enough whining. Plan for today is to stick with the plan. Measure my portions and drink all my water.

10/11 176.2 scale is moving in the correct direction. Another 1.2 and I'll be back to my low weight of last round. I really didn't think it would take this long! But oh well keep moving on! I did have a (large) glass of wine last night. Still within my calories so no problems there. Hit the gym this AM and ran a mile, then my weight program (Strong Curves) and had an amazing bowl of oatmeal with peaches, flax, chia, and protein powder. .so yummy!
10/12 175.6 I'm still not down to last week's low, but at least the scale is in the right direction

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 123.7. Went over calories by more than 700 calories yesterday. Spent 6.5 hours on my feet with my oldest at Legoland.
10/11 122.1 !!! Finally body is responding to the exercise and calorie tracking. I did 2 kickboxing classes yesterday. Had about a 500 calorie deficit to make up for yesterday. Starting to get really sick, so I may have to take some rest days. =(
10/12 123.7 Sick, so I barely walked 5,000 steps last night and ate over calories.

Feeling pretty good about myself. Walking around all braggy in my own brain LOL! I've worked out hard for three days and met all my goals thus far. Yes, it's only three days but still...

In the past, after 3 days of doing T25 or P90X3, I would give up and find something that was more "comfortable", meaning I wouldn't push myself as hard. I'm always full of excuses in my head. I don't want to work too hard and be too sore. My plantar fasciitis might act up. I'm tired. I'm this, I'm that.

I realize now that all I've been doing is getting heavier every year, month by month. I'm certainly not getting any younger, so I have to get this gone for good now. No more putting it off.

10/9 SW 173.4

Goal R19: Last round was tough (lax tracking, going over calories, less exercise, generally not giving a *kitten* -- though I did keep walking). My goal this round is to track religiously and eat and drink mindfully (slowly, tracking hunger cues, eating less restaurant and processed food). No weight goal this time because I need to focus on getting my head back in the game.

Last round was a wash because I was sick. Goal for this round is to get back on track with my eating, exercising, and stretching.

10/10--222.6 Whoosh. Let's see if this will hold.

10/12--222.4 Went to the gym yesterday even though I didn't want to go, but then I remembered that I had already posted that I would be weightlifting, so I went. It wasn't pretty, but I got my lifting done. Stretched yesterday.

10/10 || 64,3kg (141,7lbs) || Already 1,4kg (3lbs) 'lost' aka I guess my binge-eating from Sunday has gone down haha. I know I'm going to be eating bad today however (I'm having my cheat meal today) so it'll probably show on the scale tomorrow or the day after sadly! | 1L of water✓ | 92 active minutes✓
10/11 || 64,4kg (141,9lbs) [/b]|| Not too bad for the day after my cheat meal! I felt hungry throughout the day sometimes though, so maybe I should eat a bit more | 1L of water✓ | 60 active minutes✓
10/12 || 64,3kg (141,7lbs) || Barely a difference, but I guess it’s better than going up? | 1L of water✓ | 41 active minutes✓

10/10 155.5
10/11 158 WTH? I have no words! Maybe what I ate for dinner was high sodium? As a side note, it's finally cooling off in Las Vegas so I will need to be mindful of water intake! No high above 88 (today) for the next 15 days.
10/12 155.5 Right on macros, over calories- 10 oz white zin because I couldn't dump it down the drain, 5 or 6 quarts of water!

All right! Here we go for another round! Will it be good? Will it be bad? Wo o o o! Only the shadow knows for sure!

10/11: 217
Got a call yesterday to come in for the second part of my sleep study! Made sure to ask for a scale this morning before taking a shower; weighed 217. Been riding most of the day; but I resisted stopping for fast food! Hope this number sticks around this time! If I say "pretty please" will you stay?

10/12: 219
Well, it is evident that saying 'pretty please' did not work . That Turkey chili I made was low on calories and fat but high on sodium! Watching sodium intake is crucial to weight loss for me! Will do better today; already pre planned my meals for today! Now, I just need to drink enough water to flush away all this salt!

ROUND 19 - MY ROUND 6

I have not had a lot of success. Something is always "happening" and it gets distracting. I tracked honestly today (10/9) and already am at 1700 calories at 6:15 pm!! Going to try to be honest and hope that helps me make better choices. I want to be below 159.9 for my friends wedding that I'm in on October 27.

10/9 162.3 - a bit over where I was at the beginning of last round - I can't keep myself together...but I do believe my "average" of weights went down last round...
10/10 162.6 GRRRRRRRRR
10/11 163.0 extra grrrrr and the dress is tight!!!!!!!!

Brand new round, same journey continues!
Time surely flies when you're having fun! I can't believe that this is already my fifth round for this challenge. I still remember the time when I created an MFP account and was just logging my daily intake. I got bored so I was tinkering with the app and saw the community tab. Got curious with it so I was checking threads and lo! I found the one for Challenges! And I really wanna be serious with my weight loss now. I'm not getting any younger and I see how I'm missing a lot because of how unhealthy I am. Then I decided to join this 10-day challenge since I'm already weighing myself daily, so what better use of the data but to log it in here for accountability. It's fun reading the entries of other participants and I gained a lot of nice insights. I'd really say that this challenge helped me A LOT in maintaining my focus. Looking back at where I started, I still can't believe that I'm here now, but I'm definitely thrilled. Looking forward to the 170s.

10/10 - 181.2 -- good start for the week. Since I gave up midway last round (because of sickness). I'm all set for this round and challenging myself to do better.

10/11 - 180.3 -- Seems like I lost a lot of the water weight I gained after overeating the last few days. Will see to it to be back to my usual diet in the next couple of days. Dance performance is due on Friday as well!

10/12 - 178.6 -- still not back on my usual diet but I'm happy that I'm still doing good. Being sick messed my diet and routine. I still have weird cravings and my muscles are sore when I started dancing again (I didn't warm up properly maybe). Hopefully, I'd be able to put back everything to normal by the end of this round. Tomorrow's the performance though...
