You got it back down. Good work!4 -
I've never done this before, but I'm in! I'll be out of town Wednesday-Saturday though. My husband and I are going to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal! But I could definitely use this as motivation for making good decisions while I'm gone!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 - 214.3lbs - a better start than I was expecting, to be honest! I ate mostly well and was under my daily count by 240calories, but I had some bread last night with the stew my dad made when he came to visit and was worried my body might not have loved that. I'm happy to be at 214lbs, since that was my pre-pregnancy weight! My son is 11 months old but it's been a journey to shed that weight!
10/21 - 214.6lbs - Okay, I'm not really surprised by this. With my dad visiting for a few dats, we tend to eat out more than usual. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and a few bites of fried mushrooms that the table got for an appetizer. That's okay though. I just have to try to be more consistent.
10/22 - 213.2lbs - I'm so thrilled to see this. My whole issue with health has been bad decision making. Before, I'd be motivated for a short periods of time and then I'd get bored and eat my emotions by getting a box of some cheese snack mix. But I'm really trying to focus in on my decision making and yesterday at lunch tested that. My dad wanted to go to a wings place where everything on the menu is high in calories. Even their salads were 1000+ calories. But I didn't just get whatever I wanted. I studied the menu and added calories to make a better choice. And it paid off.
10/23 -214.3lbs - Darn. I trird to make good decisions, but my dad wanted to go out to lunch again. I got a salad and sweet potato fries, but I tried a piece if his pizza. And for dinner, my son stayed up late so I wasn't able to sit down and eat until 10. I HATE eating that late. I should have just gone to bed instead of eating! Gotta keep working on consistent better choices. My dad is leaving today, so no eating out!
10/24 - 213.4lbs - yay! Yesterday, I was on top of my food and water intake. I take a 30oz bottle of water with me to work and go home on lunch and refill it so I make sure that I get 60oz during the work day. I didn't eat out. Everything I did at home and I had dinner at 6 rather than 10. Tomorrow we're leaving at 4pm to head to Orlando, so I'll have to really focus on making good choices. It's hard to eat that great when you're at a theme park! But I can at least say I'll get a tooon of steps Thursday and Friday. We went two years ago and I had 35,000 steps in one day. Much more than my usual 6k on a work day.
10/25 - 212.8lbs - ...Wow. I'll be totally honest with you guys (though a large part of me would rather not admit my bad choice), I did not expect a loss. I was under my calorie goals, but I did binge eat cheezits after dinner... I think my issue is that I was depriving myself a little too much. I need to work on creating more balanced meals so I don't get that urge to go stuff my face with something only briefly satisfying. I am thankful that I still lost weight, but that's not the way I want to do it. Today we leave for Orlando, so I don't think I'll have a scale to check in on until Saturday, but I will continue to check in with my calorie and decision making! Gotta hold myself accountable!

More importantly, I cheer the successes of everyone on this thread, sometimes I'm quiet but I'm here reading every success and struggle... what a wonderful group to belong to!
Tomorrow will be a new chapter in our lives, this book is getting very interesting.... Cyranda

10/21 - 187.8 DH brought KFC home for dinner. I think it's still sitting undigested in my tummy. Stayed within calories but I think I absorbed all the salt judging from the weight gain.
10/22 - 187.2
10/23 - 188.4 OMG I need to stay away from alcohol! Sigh....
10/24 - 188.4 I have a question - I've had one period in the last two years, but the last few months I feel like I'm bloated and that I'm going to have one. Has anyone had these 'ghost periods' after menopause?

10/20 - 250.2 - So close to be in the 240s! Tomorrow is my birthday, here's to hoping that I give myself that as a birthday present
10/21 - 249.2 - Well, I gave myself a good birthday present. But it came at a cost. I was up all night with stomach issues. Here's to hoping today is better than last night!
10/22 - 251.8 - I took a day off from tracking, exercising, and eating well. Emotionally, I needed a break from the stress. No surprise on the scale. Tomorrow will be better, I'm back on track today
10/23 - 250.0 - Almost back in the 240s. Soon.
10/24 - 253.6 - Bleh. I was good for half the day yesterday. And then I wasn't. I need to get out of this funk.
10/25 - 252.4 - Crazy day at work, but night. I need to get out of this funk but I'm pretty sure work stress is what's causing it. Not really sure how to eliminate that...

176.6 SW for round 20 challenge
172.6 CGW
4 pound goal for 10 days may be lofty, but I have a 15K race tomorrow and a half marathon next Saturday so lots of calorie burning this next week.
10/20 - 176.6
10/21 - 177.0 - well fire, that's no good! Ran a 15K trail run today so hopefully I'll see good stuff in the a.m.
10/22 - 176.0 - Now that's what I'm talkin about!
10/23 - 175.8 - super thrilled with that number. It's not much down but what a huge boost for my mindset. Yesterday was a complete rest day after my race on Saturday so I was LAZY!. Watched my intake and drank some water but certainly not enough. Now I'm off to the gym to lift and cardio.
10/24 - 175.4 - Moving on down. Drank lots of water yesterday and added the stair master into my workout. Can I just say, I feel like someone beat the fire out of me! Only way to get over that is get back to it today. 5 mile run, lifting for upper body and abs.....and yes more of the stairs.
10/25 - 174.4 - I like it. Hard work pays off. Got all my water in too.

Hi Everyone!! Back again for your wonderful support and accountability. This group has kept me on track for the last 6 months and I couldn't have come this far without it!!
For the newbies....here is what my daily weigh ins look like over the last 180 days. It's not all down....fluctuations are NORMAL!!! Trust the process and the weight will come off!!!
12w5yhxxsudq.png
SW - 182.4 in March
GW - 145 - SMASHED this last round!!!
I will be continuing to check in here to keep myself accountable as I figure out eating at maintenance. I don't plan on decreasing my activity so it's all going to come down to calories at this point. I have some fitness/activity goals I want to achieve so weighing daily will continue to help me monitor where I am so I can make adjustments as necessary before things get out of hand.
10/19 - 144.2 - coming in from round 19
10/20 - 144.6 - normal fluctuation....had a small piece of cake at a baby shower at one of my client's yesterday and a glass of wine last night...kept calories where they should be at this point I think.
10/21 - 144.0 - Thought I ate enough yesterday...but went for a run in the woods with the dog and spent 8 hours getting the gardens ready for the winter and cleaning the house so I guess I underestimated a bit. I'll use it as a cushion for dinner out tonight
10/22 - 144.8 - went out for dinner last night and didn't get a lot of water in me so I'm happy to keep this under 145...we'll see what tomorrow brings, we have my son's hockey team over for a BBQ this afternoon so lots of treats available....
10/23 - 145.4 - Bleh...ate too much crap yesterday, upset stomach today...
10/24 - 145.6 - double bleh...feeling bloated and and I can't seem to stop shoving food in my pie hole...TOM expected today or tomorrow, at least it will be temporary.
10/25 - 145.8 - Still waiting for TOM and gave in to some salty cravings yesterday. Honestly I'm not the least bit upset with being up a bit. If my hormone gains put me in the 145's instead of the 185's I really can't be.

10/23 - 153.6 - I have a severe allergy to ragweed and it's been kicking my butt the last two weeks. I allowed myself to rest when I wasn't feeling well, but this weekend I started feeling a bit better and upped my program. Lots of exercise, lots of water, under calories. Seems to be paying off for now.
10/24 - 154.2 - this allergy situation is out of control....I have never had this many problems. I'm just exhausted all the time...had the luxury of sleeping 10+ hours over the weekend, but back to work yesterday and back to struggling to drag my butt around. No exercise yesterday but stuck to my food plan + 1 protein bar but still under calories. I've just started a course of steroid treatment so don't know what that will do to the scale or how I feel but I'm ready to try anything.
10/25 - 153.6 - no exercise again yesterday, but stuck with food plan. Feel slightly better this morning so I'm going to try to get the elliptical in.

10/20-191.8 I am really enjoying this downward trend. Everyday I expect it to level out and every day I am surprised! This means I've lost almost 16lbs total! I'm so thankful for this group and the daily accountability.
10/21-191.6 TOM finally arrived even though I was expecting it a week ago. Likely explains the quick decrease over the last couple days.
10/22 -191.8 - Exepected. Chinese buffet last night. I love dumplings... That is all...haha
10/23-192.0 - boo! Weekend fluctuations I guess. Happy Monday!
10/24- 191.8... it's really hanging in there. Really hoping to hit my goal this round.

SW: 147.6
End of round goal: 146
Goal: Get to maintenance by the first of the year!
8/27 147.6 ~ (Steps 18,495 Miles 7.36) ~ Today's my sons birthday......Yesterday I was able to get a nice morning walk in plus hit the gym in the evening since it was too hot outside. I had to push myself to hit the gym, it did pay off in the scale, yay! Another pound off, I'm trying to lose the 5 pounds I gained from vacation,
8/28 148.8 ~ Yesterday, since I didn't get ANY exercise in plus my sodium was high, I have a gain. I didn't over eat though so my gain is only a pound. Yesterday's, was a success in my books!
8/29 148.3 ~ (Steps18,169) Miles 7 ~ I was hungry the whole day but was able to stick to my dairy, keeping my sodium low. I decided to try getting a workout before getting breakfast. Last night I had to alter my menu since my husband got off late from work. On the plus side a couple workouts during the day helped.
8/30 147.9 ~ (Steps 19,101 Miles 7.7) ~ Yesterday went well with goals, I was able to get a couple workouts at the gym. I switching up though, having my protein drink after my first workout. I need to focus on more fruits for snacks, after vacation, I'm having trouble incorporating them into my diet. Not at my goal for this round but I'm ready for the next round! R 15 EW: 147.9R16

8/31 146.4 ~ (Steps 28,910 Miles 7.75) ~ Yesterday I was able to get a couple workouts in plus a morning run.... My vacation weight is starting to drop off, only a couple more pounds..... Consistency to no late night snacking is the key
9/01 147.9 ~ (Steps 20,039 Miles 8 miles) ~ I don't understand the gain, I was able to get a nice workout last night plus my sodium wasn't to high. I also ate under my calories allowed so I'm really disappointed with the gain. I did have some watermelon last night but that shouldn't matter.
9/02 148 ~ (Steps 15,232 Miles 6) ~ We went to the Spring fair so my diet wasn't like it usually is, I was able to stay under my calorie goal, making smart choice. I also got a workout after the fair.
9/03 148.5....147.9 ~ (Steps 17,547 Miles 7) ~ Again with the gain, doing everything right, I log everything, stay within my goal, sodium is low, get my water in. I'm going to try dropping my intake to see how that works!
9/04 148 ~ (Steps 15,435 Miles 6) ~ We ended up going to dinner last night but I was able to make healthy choices, in fact taking half home for breakfast today, with such large portions
9/5 147.4 ~ (Steps 17,376 Miles 7) ~ Spent most of the day getting ready to head to my daughter's for the week. Met all my goals for the day.

9/7 148.6 ~ (Steps 12,787 Miles 5) ~ All around good day, just ate late so weight was up!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 What an awful start to the day. I woke up late and completely forgot to weigh. Then there was a train so I had to go around that. Got back on track and then there was a bad wreck (not me) about a mile from work. Somehow I managed to get to work on time.
10/21 180.2 yippee! Hopefully it won't be such a roller coaster this time. Going shopping with my mom today. Most of my pants and a lot of tops don't fit anymore.
10/22 Didn't weigh - honestly didn't even think about it. Yesterday, my mom and I went shopping and we got several things - 2 pairs of pants, 2 tops and 4 skirts. We were going to do more but instead adopted a dog for her and my dad! So cute. I hope he works out for them. My mom has lots of back and leg issues from a car wreck years ago and my dad has Parkinson's. Their dog passed away from bladder cancer 1 1/2 years ago and it was time for them to get a companion.
10/23 181.8 not too bad but up again. Mondays always seem to be the worst days to weigh. I don't drink water like I should and eat too much over the weekend. When I'm at work, I eat sensibly (usually) and drink 60-80 oz of water (I know some people say that doesn't matter, but to me it does). On the weekends, I drink lots of coffee and diet Pepsi and, well, eat too much. I know this is something I need to work on. I want to see the 170s so bad! I haven't weighed less than 180ish in years!
10/24 183.0 I am getting a bit frustrated. I am logging everything I eat and drink. I am very rarely over calories so I don't understand. However, a work friend (who is a larger lady) told me today that if I get any skinnier that we couldn't be friends anymore She was completely kidding of course, but she said that I looked like I'd lost weight just since yesterday. I know the scale isn't the only indicator of weight loss but it's the most obvious (at least to me). I'll have to take some measurements tomorrow morning, if I remember, and see if I've lost some inches. Onward and downward!!

Starting weight: 193 (July 2016)
Goal weight: 135
End of Round 11: 143.4 (7/31/17)
End of Round 12: 142.5 (8/10/17)
End of Round 13: 140.4 (8/20/17)
End of Round 14: 138.6 (8/30/17)
End of Round 15: 143.3 (9/10/17- I quit weighing/logging toward the end of Round 15. I felt like I needed a break, and the break pushed my weight up so much. I'm sure I can get it back down (hopefully not actual fat gain in just a few days) with a lot of effort this round.)
Round 16-last weigh in: 141.5
Round 17: did not weigh-in or track
Round 18: did not weigh -in or track
Round 19: did not weigh in- started to track somewhat
Starting Round 20: 140.5
47 yo female. 5'6
Goal this round: Get back to exercising. Eat fewer unhealthy snacks.
I find it very interesting that not counting calories did not have a big effect on my weight, but eating more "junk" and more food did make me feel less healthy. I am going to give this a try again, mostly because I have a big fear of gaining the 50ish pounds back overnight.
10/20 - 140.6
10/21 - 140.2 (tracking, but not seriously limiting calories: over 1600 yesterday; no exercise yet-today!)
10/22 - 140.2 (tracked, but still ate a lot -over 2200 calories (made cookies); just going to track and see what happens this time. Still haven't exercised)
10/23 - 140.0 finally exercised! 30 min. elliptical
10/24 - 139.1 dentist (crown) - no exercise- about 1200 calories (no lunch)
10/25 - 141 - pizza - over 2000 calories - elliptical 30 min

10/25 182.8 maybe, just maybe. I've been drinking lots of water, as usual, and was under my calorie goal for the day. Got home @ 8:20 last night and didn't want to make dinner, but I had been planning all day to make a "stir fry" with chicken breast, rice, broccoli and cauliflower. So I did. And it turned out wonderful. Only 890 calories for the whole thing and I ate half. I brought the rest for lunch today.

10/12 - 175.2 - Hmm. . . Not much difference, but I'll take it.

10/14 - 175.2 - Here we go back to the yo-yo. Oh well, it could be worse I guess.
10/15 - 172.1 - Okay. A little surprised here. Stepped on the scale three times. I guess tomorrow will tell if it sticks. I had wine last night and that usually dehydrates me and drops my weight temporarily.

Of course, you can eat leftovers, as long as you stay within calorie limits. Those leftovers might have been a little saltier than what you were eating and therefore caused a bit of an upswing due to water retention. Pay more attention to the long term trend than daily swings.

End of round goal: 146
Goal: Get to maintenance by the first of the year!
8/27 147.6 ~ (Steps 18,495 Miles 7.36) ~ Today's my sons birthday......Yesterday I was able to get a nice morning walk in plus hit the gym in the evening since it was too hot outside. I had to push myself to hit the gym, it did pay off in the scale, yay! Another pound off, I'm trying to lose the 5 pounds I gained from vacation,
8/28 148.8 ~ Yesterday, since I didn't get ANY exercise in plus my sodium was high, I have a gain. I didn't over eat though so my gain is only a pound. Yesterday's, was a success in my books!
8/29 148.3 ~ (Steps18,169) Miles 7 ~ I was hungry the whole day but was able to stick to my dairy, keeping my sodium low. I decided to try getting a workout before getting breakfast. Last night I had to alter my menu since my husband got off late from work. On the plus side a couple workouts during the day helped.
8/30 147.9 ~ (Steps 19,101 Miles 7.7) ~ Yesterday went well with goals, I was able to get a couple workouts at the gym. I switching up though, having my protein drink after my first workout. I need to focus on more fruits for snacks, after vacation, I'm having trouble incorporating them into my diet. Not at my goal for this round but I'm ready for the next round! R 15 EW: 147.9R16

9/01 147.9 ~ (Steps 20,039 Miles 8 miles) ~ I don't understand the gain, I was able to get a nice workout last night plus my sodium wasn't to high. I also ate under my calories allowed so I'm really disappointed with the gain. I did have some watermelon last night but that shouldn't matter.
9/02 148 ~ (Steps 15,232 Miles 6) ~ We went to the Spring fair so my diet wasn't like it usually is, I was able to stay under my calorie goal, making smart choice. I also got a workout after the fair.
9/03 148.5....147.9 ~ (Steps 17,547 Miles 7) ~ Again with the gain, doing everything right, I log everything, stay within my goal, sodium is low, get my water in. I'm going to try dropping my intake to see how that works!

It seems like you may have found your problem: weekends. Can you pre-log them? Is the Diet Pepsi driving hunger for you the way Diet Coke does for me? Some of us are susceptible to sweet tastes, especially no-cal sweet tastes, giving us the munchies. Can you plan to cook some special lo-cal dish like a new-to-you vegetable on the weekend? Can you do a variation on 5:2 and eat at a larger deficit on weekdays but at maintenance on the weekends? Do you have a hobby that keeps your hands busy so you can't eat -- winter's coming, crochet a scarf? Just thinking of some possible solutions for ya ...3 -

The accountability has been really great for me. It's made me much more mindful about what I choose to eat and finding time to exercise.

10/20 179.4 - calories were good, I ate clean, and exercised yesterday.
10/21 179.2 - calories were below maintenance, but I didn't get any exercise yesterday. We're seeing Hamilton today! Plus dinner out. I'll be mindful if my choices.
10/22 178.6 I ate well and stayed within calories. Also exercised yesterday, did a good cardio workout.
10/23 178.2 Fitness Blender may be my saving grace. Wow, I love the workouts they offer! I did a short HIIT workout in the morning followed by a short upper body one. We volunteered at our local Pumpkin festival yesterday, so I also got all my steps in, and then I carried a 30 lb pumpkin 1/2 mile to the car. Whew.
An interesting twist about a month into this "give me 10 days" game. I no longer remember every morning what my weight was the day before. After I got on the scale today I thought, "Is that down?" Hmmm.
10/24 178.8 - normal fluctuation. Calories were spot on yesterday, and I exercised. Didn't drink enough water, though and I haven't been getting enough sleep.
10/25 178.4. Ate clean, calories were on, and exercised. I lose weight so slowly now. Everything changed after menopause. Somewhere along the way I realized I might have to be happy with .5 lb a week. Last week to this was .6. I'll take it. One cannot have the proper actions without finally getting the proper results. Water and sleep were both better. I still need to get to bed earlier!

Not certain, just feels like I'm going to start my period, backache, crampy, yucch.. I've had a workup from my Gynecologist about 6 months ago with an ultrasound and a biopsy and everything turned out normal so I'm not terribly concerned. I posted knowing I have a record of these times so I can look back if it happens again. Could be monthly, who knows? 3 -
I was having trouble staying down around 1500 calories as my activity naturally increases as I weigh less so I have set my calories back at the more comfortable level of 1550, which is closer to the TDEE of a lightly active woman of my age at goal weight. Arguably, if I keep being more active I will continue to lose weight until I am approaching a normal BMI.
Also, since I already gained from traveling and it’s getting colder where the scale is, I’m biting the bullet and weighing in jeans & t-shirt rather than my birthday suit.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 264.4 -- Down two pounds since yesterday despite adding two pounds of clothing to the mix and snacking past deficit last night. We’re off the road and back to control over our sodium intake!
0/21 262.4 -- Down another couple pounds of water. That’s how many of those “loss 10 pounds in the first week” diets do it. They assume their diet will greatly reduce your sodium intake along with the calorie reductions.
10/22 259.6 -- Back in the 250s already! I’m a happy camper!
10/23 257.6 -- This losing two pounds a day is wonderful! But a false friend, i know. As soon as all that water is gone from 12 days of eating salt and it will be back to the pound-a-week trudge.
10/24 257.2 -- I guess we’re done losing water from the trip. Now to get back down to where I was and then onward!
10/25 254.8 -- Yowser! Another big drop. Back to the middle of the range of challenge 18 (pre-trip). Another pound and a half and I’ll resume losing “new” pounds.
