DH's birthday yesterday, so made a cheesecake. Going to try to not have any more. At this point, I would just be happy with not being in the 23's at the end of this round.

10/10 184.0 - This is disappointing but it's still a loss of over 20 lbs.
10/11 Had to be at work early and completely forgot to weigh...
10/12 184.4 - Up again. I did stay under calories and drank lots of water.
10/13 183.6 - Not sure what to say except yay! Maybe I can get back to my starting weight of this round.
10/14 180.6 I'm doing a happy dance! We have a friend's birthday party tonight, so there will be drinking and dancing. I'm going to hope that the dancing will offset the drinking
10/15 181.2 not as bad as I thought it would be. Maybe, just maybe I can make it to my goal weight for this round.

Back for my 6th round.
BW - 221.8
R14 - 218.8
R15 - 216.2
R16 - 218.2 - vacation
R17 - who knows what happened here.
R18 - 219.4
R19 goal - 216.2 - lofty goal but it would get me back to R15 (pre-vacation) weight.
10/10 - had to be to work 2 hours early and it was all I could do to drag my sorry rear out of bed and get there in time!
10/11 - 220.4 - serves me right. I got to the end of the day and saw I had 400 calories left - so had a smallish margarita. Alcohol and losing weight do NOT go hand in hand. Plus I didn't get my morning walk in either of these mornings. My husband says I get "twitchy" if I go too many days w/o working up a sweat, and he's right! I'm feeling pretty on edge right now.
10/12 - 218.2 - SWEET!
10/13 - 219.4 - up down up down up down
10/14 - 218.4
10/15 - 219.4 - had an epiphany this morning. I haven't had those long (4 - 6 hr) bike rides on the weekend, plus 40 miles or so during the week so apparently that was burning a lot of calories and helping bring my weight down. Without the biking, I'm going to have to be more vigilant about what I'm eating.

Weigh In day 7!!
MFP starting weight- 87.6kg (July 17)
Round 19 starting weight- 82.4
Round 19 Goal weight- 80.9kg - done!
Revised round 19 Goal weight 80.2
10/10- 80.9kg - pretty happy with this first day! Already at GOAL! but yesterday was a fasting day so not expecting the drop to hold. Let's see how we go tomorrow.
11/10- 81.0- was expecting a bit of a bump today, but REALLY pleased that it was so small. Was a non-fast day yesterday and I usally overeat when I'm allowed to eat! But I stuck to my calories and it paid off. Lets do it again today.
12/10- 80.9 - fast day today, hopefully can get a bit lower into the 8-0s for tomorrow
13/10- 80.5- yes!!! Have revised my goal for this round. Let's push it a bit further!
14/10- 80.1 - I'm not getting too excited about this one. I've got a huge weekend on with lots of food and alcohol- expect to see a HUGE bump tomorrow.
15/10- 80.7- there's the bump. 45million glasses of champagne followed by a huge dirty burger will do that. Another big day today, hopefully not too much damage on the scales tomorrow.
16/10- 81.6kg wow. So much damage on the scales!! Fasting today, hopefully can reverse some of it. Might have to do a fourth fast day if I want to hit my goal!
17/10-
18/10-
19/10- Goal weight- 80.2kg
Following 5:2- so want to commit to 3 fast days and a real focus on watching cals on my non-fast days. Plus 30min walk each day.
Fast days completed 2/3

Catching up with a friend from home this weekend. Lots of walking and lots of food.
SW - 90kg

Goals: Move/exercise each day + drink more water + keeping focused on the weekend. Hoping to see 66.2kg by the end of the challenge.
10/10 - 66.9kg First strength session back at the gym in 3 months last night. Hungry all day today!!
10/11 - 66.7kg 30 minute cross country jog last night, packed extra low cal snacks for work, still focusing on water intake.
10/12 - 66.7kg - I swear the scale flashed 66.4kg for a second haha. Went for a long jog/walk last night, stayed within my calories yesterday and prepped my food today. Feeling like I'm really getting into the swing of things!
10/13 - 66.4kg - I KNEW IT! Haha didn't want to get too excited yesterday but the number on the scale continues to go down. Good thing too, I'm bloody hungry adjusting to lower calories at the moment! No exercise yesterday because of the DOMS and coming into a heavy lifting session tonight. Wooooo Friday fun!
10/14 - 66.1kg - Yes! Heavy weights last night and I've been really keeping on top of my food. Today, it was burgers and pints. It's all about balance right?
10/15 - 68.8kg I'm very pleased to announce that I'm expecting a food baby! #glowing #soproud

10/12 - 152.4 I like this number! I know it will bounce back up before really settling here... this I have learned from these daily weigh ins.
10/13 - 152.2 I’m surprised, presently by this. Had some wine last night, that normally puts me up some.... I’ll take it and hold through the weekend. At least stay under 153. Happy Friday!
10/14 - 152.6 - keep it under 152 for the weekend....I can do this!

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!
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!

Seventh round with this glorious group of supportive peeps!
Been doing amazingly well. Taking note of daily fluctuations and watching the 10-day averages consistently decrease has really helped! (Decreases I might have otherwise missed by weighing weekly or irregularly.)
My recommendations for newbies: Keep your focus on the average over the 10 days. Don't let the daily fluctuations get you down. Instead, notice that everyone's weights go up and down and it can take a few days to see the results of good/bad behavior. Stay the course, gain from other's experiences, and ask for support when you need it!
WE CAN DO THIS!!!

10/14: 157.2 Boing! TOM is coming so probably won't make the round goal weight. Forgot to take that into consideration (again! ). A pound less than this will do.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10: 152.8
/I was so happy with my end result from the last round. Even though this is an uptick, I hope to see the downward trend soon! Drank 64oz (including 12oz coffee...). Stayed within calories. Didn't go to the gym today.
10/11: 153.0
/Not liking this upward trend. I'm doing everything right, so I am going to assume it's not actual weight gain. Ate within calories, drank 64+ oz of fluids, walked over 13,000 steps. Did not get to the gym. And will not be able to go tomorrow as I have to work late. The next two days are when calories might be harder to control (work provides food on late nights and I have Friday evening plans with drinking and eating). Fingers crossed for a drop tomorrow!
10/12: 153.0/Ahhh, still no dip. Managed to eat within calories today. Did not get in 64 oz of fluids and no gym. I've felt really bloated lately.
10/13: 152.0/Weighed myself three different times today and got 152.6, 152 and 151.4. Recording the middle ground here. I think I'll have an uptick again tomorrow due to food choices today...three glasses of wine, half a burger and sweet potatoes fries and half a chicken and rice dish at an Ethiopian restaurant. Did not get in 64oz of fluids or go to the gym. Walked 10,000+ steps. Totally guesstimated the restaurant calories, so may be 150 over calories or more...
10/14: 151.0/Nice to see this number! We'll see if it lasts. Still haven't gone to the gym and did not drink enough water. Maybe I'll make it to the gym before the day is over, but unlikely. Made healthier pumpkin donuts and oatmeal cookies. And of course ate a bunch. Will definitely eat under calories today but not a lot of protein.
10/15: 150.6/The downward continues! I finally got some exercise in! I ran for 3.5 miles (the longest I've ever run) outside. Not the gym, but it counts! I have to take advantage of the outdoors while I can, especially because I hate running on a treadmill. Did not drink 64oz (it's really hard!). Stayed within calories today. Made a delicious onion, mushroom and beef stir fry for dinner.

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!
10/13: 217.8
Drank lots of water yesterday; was way under on sodium! Had all my meals planned for today then my granddaughter invited me to lunch! Oh well, the best laid plans of mice and men so often go astray!
10/14: 217.9
I like this number! Went to lunch yesterday with 2 of my granddaughters and my daughter at Golden Corral. Loaded up on vegetables and baked fish! Couldn't resist the desserts though! Had very small piece of Carrot cake and bread pudding! Didn't get in hardly any water, but only ate 3 waffle cookies (69 cal.) for the rest of the day! Today is my great grandson's birthday, so I expect I won't have the good choices I had yesterday!
10/15: 220.2
Too much sodium not enough water!

Feeling good, like the changes I've made are sustainable, but I'm nearing my typical low. I've been here probably 5 times (more?) in the last 25 years without ever getting to my goal weight, then gaining back. At this size, I'm still definitely overweight but I'm starting to like how I look and that can cause me to get overconfident and stop worrying about it. I've really got to keep my mindset going. I like the healthy food I'm eating, I'm not deprived, I like being active, I can keep doing this. Anyway, it's early but I'm on track for no added sugar today, good on water and calories, took a nice walk.

Three days in a row, this number still makes me happy. Good on water, calories, a little exercise, no added sugar. Looking back at my diary, I haven't gone over 1510 calories in 30 days.
10/12: 169.5 squeee! (What'll happen tomorrow? Oh, the suspense.)
When I got home my BF left me a big serving of pasta. He makes the sauce, doesn't put sugar or salt in it but he glugs in the olive oil with abandon, bless his Italian mama. I added veggies but should have eaten a bit less. I'm under calories for the day, not enough protein, lots of carbs and fat. Fine on water, no added sugar, just light walking for exercise today.
10/13: 169.0
Walked a bit, fine on water, fine on calories, almost no veggies today, no added sugar.
10/14: 169.0
Fine on calories, but high in sodium (phooey, might see a bump tomorrow). Lots of veggies. OK on water. Some exercise. No added sugar. Had to be up extra early today and again tomorrow. Today we had a park cleanup, tomorrow I'm leading an early nature walk. I'm looking forward to it but I should go to sleep soon.
10/15: 170.0
Worked a very long day (11hrs) but I started with a birding walk at dawn so it was a nice day overall, especially considering tomorrow's my day off. Hardly drank any water til early evening, I'm trying to finish another 500ml. Not on purpose, but was not in my routine today and ate very low in calories. No added sugar, in spite of lots of opportunity for it.

Round 19 starting weight 158.9
09/10- Happy Canadian thanksgiving weekend! Two main meals today, went a little under hydrated. Had a long dog walk, but it made me miss yoga.
10/10- 162.4. Under calories, trying to hit higher but I am nutritionally balanced.
11/10- 158.5 worked through lunch but ate a little. Work survey and a huge dog walk. Under protein macro. Still thirsty.
12/10-156. Hit good macros & all vitamins but when it all added up I was under calories again.
13/10-...
14/10-158.9. Pulled two 15 hour days this weekend, went to camp but had mostly salad bar, big meals but as nutritiously dense as camp is capable of. Forgot my vitamins, sigh.

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!
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!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10: 185.0 -going to lose 3lbs!
10/11: 183.8 - a whoosh! Or dehydrated? Very thirsty today so won't get too excited about this number. Would be good to have it there at the end of the round, though.
10/12: 185.0 - as expected. Going to do extra exercise today.
10/13: 186.2 - so I did the extra exercise, 15000 steps and I was under 1500 calories! I'm guessing too much sodium, I hope. (stir-fry with too much soy sauce). Need to drink lots of water today!
10/14: 184 - another good day yesterday. 20,000 steps
10/15: 183.4 -
10/16: 184.6 - pizza. That's all I'm saying.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10: 162.4 Frustrated that I am up. I was at my in laws all weekend. Mostly estimating calories although I think I did a good job and got a workout in. Also TOM started, hoping to see it move back down quickly. Will be doing w2d1 of c25k today.
10/11: 161.0 Hoping this number sticks around!
10/12: 159.0 Up at 3:30 AM with an upset stomach. Tired and likely dehydrated. Expecting it will be a bit before I see this number for real.
10/13: 160.2 Liking this number. Yesterday's really doesn't count. Ate a little higher yesterday but was still within range given exercise calories.
10/14: 160.8 Expected. Homemade pizza and a nice glass of wine last night. Still a downward trend!
10/15: 161.6 Ugh. Fighting a cold. Didn't get enough water yesterday. Tired even though I slept all night. I did get w2d3 of c25k done yesterday. Not really concerned with this number. Clearly, I'm a little out of whack this morning...
10/16: 162.2 Considering my day yesterday this is water retention. Still fighting a cold. I feel icky and waking up is the worst. Hoping I will feel good enough to get w3d1 of c25k done today. Light day at work so there is that!
