Goal: Continue to log all my food each day. Be under net calories each day.

10/10 - 260.0 - Yesterday I decided to give myself a cheat day. What a terrible, terrible idea. Not only did I gain (a lot! of) weight, but I was miserable. Bloating, indigestion, heartburn, listlessness. It's truly amazing how much my body has adjusted to my slowly eating better the past month or so. And to think that I used to feel like that EVERY DAY. The way I felt last night and this morning is enough to convince me not to eat like that again.
10/11 - 255.8 - I was not expecting to even get back to where I was, nonetheless to weigh less than that! I really focused on eating better yesterday. I was under my calories and I still exercised the same amount. I feel great today about my weight but also my body feels good! I'm not super bloated or have indigestion. It's amazing just how much eating junk DOES affect your body and how you don't even realize it when that's what you're used to. I'm so glad I'm on this journey - I am seeing now just how miserable I was because I'm not anymore!
10/12 - 255.2 - Wow. Yesterday was a real kick in the face. Found out that I didn't get the job that I endured 3 interviews for and had the person who DID get the job flaunt it. I was really, really down after that. I wanted to just eat a big, messy dinner of hot wings and french fries and ice cream. But I was good. I ate under my calories, I got over 10K steps, and I continued the 30 day workout I've been doing. I didn't sleep well, but that's to be expected. I woke up with a small weight loss. While I'm still pretty down about this missed opportunity, sticking to my better habits and seeing the pay off of that helps take the sting out a little bit. Tonight we have an event at my child's school - dinner is provided. Not really sure how to plan my day because they change up the dinner option each month. I'm just going to try to eat the rest of the day how I have been and make sure to get all my steps before the event. That way, if it's something really high calorie, I'll be able to work it off when I get home
10/13 - 254.4 - Yesterday, the hiring manager of the job I interviewed for called me personally to tell me that it was neck and neck between me and the other person and that I answered all their questions well - that there wasn't anything I could have done better. She's hoping to hire more people and she said she would keep my name at the top of her list and reach out to me if/when that happens. So, that really did kind of pick my mood up - I'm not a total failure haha. Last night we had dinner at the school - it was pizza. Two pieces still had me under my calorie goal, so I had some bacon when I got home (and was still under!!). I'm really starting to feel good. I'm energized, my body doesn't hurt, my digestive system is working much more normally. And I'm losing weight! I feel more motivated now than I have in a while I can't wait to surpass this goal and set the next one!
10/14 - 252.4 - Got a lot of sleep, so it's been like 15 hours since I last ate. Still staying hopeful that I'll continue this downtrend, that this isn't just a fluke I'm so close to the 240s, I can't wait to be there!
10/15 - 252.6 - I wasn't sure if TOM would affect me. Now I know. Yesterday I got a decent night's sleep, was under calories, and exercised. It's a small gain, but here's to hoping it's the only gain I have during TOM. Tonight is pizza night with the in-laws, so I'm going to be really diligent today.
10/16 - 251.2 - Yesterday was an easy day. I ate my 4 pieces of pizza for dinner, but I planned the rest of my day around it and made sure to get my exercise in. I feel really good about today's weigh-in. Now I really REALLY want to be in the 240s by the end of this round - it would be a great birthday present to myself!
10/17 - 253.4 - Well, I had a cheat meal yesterday. But I wanted my net calories to be in the green, so I ended up walking 14K steps. Still gained, though. I figure it has something to do with the amount of sodium or fat or lack of sleep, or some combination. Not too discouraged though, I walked 14k steps!! Looking forward to a loss tomorrow
10/18 - 252.6 - It was a loss, though not quite back down to where I was on Monday. I'm pretty sure I have a cold coming on, so last night I got a little extra sleep. Going to try again for that tonight. Not only do I feel better when I get more sleep, I have noticed that it impacts the scale too. Now I just have to get through the work day...
10/19 -

Losing weight doesn't seem to be working, so I'm going to concentrate on getting taller!

SW, 212 - Loss so far 15.5lbs.

spoiler Contains my Average weights and my total losses in each round from R8 - R18
R19 SW - 198.2

My goal for R18 R19 is for my avg weight to be under 14 stone (196 lbs)

UGW 140

09/10 - 198.2 - I had a rough R18, my weight went up, I am still waiting on a physio appointment (which is likely to be next year) and I am in a lot of pain almost constantly, exercising is very difficult for me at the moment, walking and upper body strength / stretch is all I can manage, this 10 days I am cutting a further 200 calories from my daily goal to compensate for the lack of movement.

10/10 - 198 - under calories drank water
11/10 - 196 - under calories drank water

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10- 194.4 this happened to me last round and I changed my goal, but it didn't stick. I'm going to ride it out for a couple days this time just to see. Exercise- didn't fit it in today. I'll try to add extra throughout the next 9 days to have an average of 15 minutes a day throughout the 10 days.
10/11- 194.8
10/12- 194.8
10/13-194.8
10/14-194.4 -194 has decided to stick around for a while and for good reason! I have been slacking. Pizza and cake one night and buffet food last night. Defiantly made poor choices. Infact... last night I didn't even finish my log. On to making today great!
10/15- 193.8 ate under calories even those it wasn't very healthy choices, lots of festival fun. Hit over 10,000 steps too! I have really been awful at my exercise goal. I need to do better.

10/16- 193- I am really happy with the progress made so far this round. I hope it continues to go this direction!
10/17- 192.4 - I don't know how this is possible, but I'll take It! Under Calories, no exercise other than doing more than I normally do around the house. I go the the Dr. Tomorrow for an official 1 month weigh in.
10/18- 192.2 - I'm pretty happy with progress so far this round. Had pizza for dinner and a late night snack. 200 Calories over yesterday and my stomach was upset this morning.
10/19- Exercise

10/19

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Ended Round 18 at 141.8. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years.
10/9 141.8

10/10- 140.6 Gym and pool yesterday. Pool again today.
10/11- 141 .. Did pool class, ran around errands and went to movies late which equalled some - not a lot - of candy beyond when I usually stop eating. Didn't get much sleep. I'll be back down tomorrow.
10/12- 141.2 Slept a lot yesterday. Swollen lymph gland, blah humbug.
10/13- 141.6 Wrong direction.
10/14- 141 ok, some better. Did gym and pool class yesterday. Also, a little gardening. Half way through this round. I need to lose at least 1.1 # to reach goal. Fingers crossed.
10/15- 141.4 Water retention from a couple of dirty martinis? Walked in the park for a while. Going to get to gym and outside for a bit today.
10/16- 141.4 Well this is starting to get disheartening. I've been bouncing around this number for a month despite exercise and diet. I did 70 min on ellip yesterday, a little high on carbs but at goal for cals. Lots of water. Sigh
10/17- 141.6 Could swear. Did pool class yesterday. ate sensibly but maybe too many of calories were at end of day thanks to a long nap.

10/18- 141 Did pool class yesterday and lots of veggies and water.

10/19

I believe in my ability to lose weight and keep it off.

10/11 - 190.5 Expect an up day soon. Don't get cocky.....
10/12 - 189.6 OMG! I am euphoric. I looked down and saw this number.. was not expecting to break into another decade. Nice feeling. I am on a whoosh.

10/14 - 190.9 Missed entering this here on time yesterday, but that's my number
10/15 - 190.3 I've had a weird weekend. Satisfying some cravings, but not proud of it. However I have managed to stay in my calorie ranges every day. Thankful for salad as a volume filler.

10/16 - 191.4
10/17 - 192.7 obviously something going on
10/18 - 192.9 Note to self. Stop it with the cheese eating! I'm going to blow.
10/19 -

10/10 - 177 - And the beat goes on! I'm pretty okay with this since I made it through the Thanksgiving weekend (Canadian) relatively unscathed and am embarking on a Whole 30. Looking forward to good things!
10/11 - 175.8 - Happy Dancing! Glad to be in the 175's. Hoping to get below this round.
10/12 - 175.8 - It's a good thing!
10/13 - 174 - This is less than I weighed when I finished my Whole30 in Jan, and this is only the beginning of this round. Day 5 today! What a great start to my day!
10/14 - 172.9 - I'm pretty sure that this is probably still water weight coming off from the beginning of the Whole30, but hey, I'll take it whatever way I can get it!!
10/15 - 174.5 - Was expecting this. Lots of sodium yesterday
10/16 - 174 - Oh yeah!! On the way back down.
10/17 - 174.2 - Regular blip in the programming
10/18 - 174.4- Hello! You are going the wrong way. Please turn around and go down! That's what I get for blowing off my Whole30 yesterday. Silly me! I'll get back on track today!

10/10 159.8 No good very bad day.
10/11 161 Terrible day, yesterday.
10/12 160.4 Stayed under in calories yesterday. Even tho I had a chocolate craving, I didn't have any! No binging!!!

10/18 157.4 I was pleasantly surprised, as I was over in calories, yesterday. I did do some exercise, tho.
10/19

I'M BACK! I have lost 31 lbs so far, and I'm also really excited to see the 6 digit come into play sometime soon. I'm 171 lbs today. BRING IT ON!

Start Weight: 202
Goal Weight this Round: 170
Ultimate Goal Weight: 125

10/10: Welp...I am at 172 today. I don't know why. I ate well. Stayed under calories actually. Walked quite a bit. Maybe it was due to water retention because I biked 6 miles. Idk. Hmmm....
10/11: I'm still at 172. I know I went over on my sodium, which is something I rarely ever do because I'm not a big salt person. I'll lose this pound eventually. I'm still at a 30 lb loss and am happy about that.
10/12: Well, the number 172 is really liking me. I also noticed a trend. One round I barely lose anything and usually do not reach my goal. The next round, I meet my goal and the last rounds goal. Interesting.
10/13: It's Friday the 13th, and that's so creepy! Also, I'm at 171.8. I have been incredibly hungry this week. I've been eating my calories and almost all the extra calories you get from exercise. Maybe that's why there isn't a loss yet. Oh well, I'm still happy and not going to stress.
10/14: I met my calorie goal yesterday. Shocking! I'm at 171 lbs today. So, I am back to where I started. Let's see if it sticks around this time.
10/15: So, I'm back to 172. This number must really like me. I walked a lot yesterday since I took my youngest son to a pumpkin patch. I also biked 5 miles.
10/16 172 again.
10/17 172 again...did not eat breakfast but took a Sprite to work. First time in about 5 months. Felt horrid and wanted to settle my tummy.
10/18 171.8 *sigh*

Not sure what weight goal I have except to NOT gain this round!:)
End of the year goal has always been 105 lbs.

10/10 107 lbs
10/11 106.5
10/12 106.2 - over Calories yesterday so seems false but wouldn't it be wonderful . . . won't it be wonderful when I land at 105 permanently.
10/13 105.8 - a little over Calories again - this is weird.
10/14 106.8 - ate horribly yesterday - too much Halloween candy, not sure what happened
10/15 107 - ate too much again, hungry all day.
10/16 107.8 - guess what . . .
10/17 108.2 - this is temporary, I'm back on track as of yesterday.
10/18 107.5 - too many Calories again yesterday - this is difficult

R19 SW 224.4 Sick

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10--222.6 Whoosh. Let's see if this will hold.
10/11--222.4 I will be weightlifting tonight for the first time in over a week, let's see what the scale says tomorrow.
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.
10/13--222.8 Normal fluctuation. Stretched yesterday.
10/14--222.6 One word for today...WATER!!!
10/15--222.2 Got in my water yesterday and it definitely made a difference. Today I'm going to make sure to keep up with my water. Going out for my tennis lesson this morning and then going out for dinner later. Stretched yesterday.
10/16--223.7 Dinner last night and feeling bloated this morning. This past weekend has been a success in that even though I usually struggle to drink my water on the weekends, this weekend I easily kept myself hydrated.
10/17--223.1 There goes some of the water weight. Still feel bloated. Would love to get back into the 222's before the end of this round.
10/18--222.0 Whoosh. I feel so much better today now that the bloated feeling is gone.
