JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 20

First timer here! New to myfitness as well. I have been on a weight roller coaster this year, and hate the way I look now. 10 years ago I was 169lbs, hated it, got energized, found a plan that worked and stuck to it (mostly). I was able to get my weight down to 135lbs (give or take a couple of pounds). This year has been tough with lots of family and work stress. No motivation, then I do, then I don't. My current weight is 157 lbs. My goal is to get back to where I was happy and to fit those clothes again. I will settle for 140lbs.

Current: 157 lb

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.

Thank you for the information I stayed in my calories, but the salt probably was the problem!!! Being on MFP is helping me so much.

10/24 208.4 Had a great day yesterday, under calories, drank all the water, and did some light running.
10/25 207.6 Not a bad day. Was just over calories, ok if I count exercise ones, did the water, and walked for 15 minutes. Still having trouble breathing because of cold.

DAY || WEIGHT - COMMENT AND GOALS

• 10/20 || 62,9 kg (138,6 lbs) – Very happy to see that number! I didn’t eat that much yesterday and didn’t binge either. I might need to lower my goal though if tomorrow is around the same number, because else there will not really be a “challenge”. Walked a lot today, went shopping, tried to put the last stressful couple of days off of me. I did have a McDonald’s again, but didn’t go for a burger and went for some Chicken McNuggets to save myself some calories. Hopefully my plan somewhat worked, we’ll see tomorrow! For some reason, my Fitbit didn’t record any active minutes today, but considering I walked quite a lot, I’m just going to give myself 25 minutes. [ 1,5L | 25 min ]
• 10/21 || 62,1 kg (136,9 lbs) – I went out shopping and ate A LOT. I did walk more so according to my Fitbit I stayed just under my calories, but then again it’s hard to estimate calories when you’re eating out. [ 1,75L | 70 min ]
• 10/22 || 62,2 kg (137,1 lbs) – I thought yesterday’s dinner would’ve showed up more, but glad it didn’t! I’m also going to change my goal from 62,7 kg to 61,5 kg for this round. I think now that TOM is over, all the bloating is gone or something, which would explain the sudden drop. That or the drinking more water is finally taking an effect. Either way, I’m not complaining haha! [ 1,5L | 53 min ]
• 10/23 || 62 kg (136,6 lbs) – woohoo! It won’t last though considering I had my cheat meal today (I actually ate too much and felt a bit sick afterwards), but still nice to see. Definitely feels like I needed more water today though. [ 1,5L | 83 min ]
• 10/24 || - 62,5 kg (137,7 lbs) – nooooo. I knew this was going to happen but still I wish it wasn’t this much. Ate normal today though and have a new record of water intake in one day! I know it still isn’t a lot to most people, but considering I used to get sick from water, I’ve come a long way haha. [ 2,1 L | 25 min]
• 10/25 || 62,1 kg (136,9 lbs) – Back in the right direction! Hopefully tomorrow will be lower… I feel like I ate a lot today but pretty healthy stuff. I do feel like snacking though, hopefully I’ll be able to stand the temptation haha. The following two days will be hard in terms of weighing, tracking and not drinking too much (meeting with friends, going out, staying over at a friend so no scale, ...). Hopefully starting from Saturday I'll be able to eat clean again [ 1,8L | 34 min ]

Well, this is the start of round 7 for me, and I can't wait! I plan to step up my exercise, and set myself some daily guidelines for the next 10 days. If it works out, I may keep them or tweek them until they do work!
1.no sodas
2.no bread
3.no eating out
4.drink at least 12 glasses water daily
5.eat protein every meal
6.reduce sodium intake
7.get more sleep

I've lost an average of 1.5 lbs. per round over the last 6 rounds! I'm going to see if these guidelines will make a difference in that average!

I would love to see the 16s by this weekend coming!

10/22: 216.8
God is so good; I haven't seen this number in many moons! Hope it sticks around. It seems like every Saturday, when I do my weekly weigh in for F2F, I go up, so my weigh in for the week is more than it was the last Saturday! Hope I break that pattern this week!

10/23: 216.6
I like it! I like it! I like it!

Over did my sodium yesterday. Went to bed late, and got up early to exercise. Was so tired and sleepy all day that I lay down after work, and it was after 6 when I woke! Since I didn't meal prep, I heated up some leftover soup, and it had waaaay too much sodium! I need to start meal prepping!
Thank God His mercies are new every morning!

10/25: 217.6
Broke guideline number 4; forgot my bible study group was having a fellowship lunch today. Went to a Bakery Café. I was doing good; I ordered a rotisserie chicken salad that came on lettuce, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, and boiled eggs. That's when the bird flew over the Coocoo's nest; they had samples of wedding cookies! I tasted a piece and it was all over except the weeping! I couldn't stop myself-I bought a dozen, and ate all of them on the way home! I thank God for the cookies: they were so good, and I thank Him that His mercies are new every morning!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 168.6 lb midday after workout. No real struggles yet today. Those will come later today when hanging out with friends. But I didn't eat the candy at work so there's a plus!
10/21 167.8 lb noonish after workout. Good but most of my weigh-ins will be after eating lunch, Which I haven't yet. So I'm expecting a rise come Monday. But I wasnt tempted by bad food last night. Just one drink of gin, which filled out my calories for the day yesterday. Going good!
10/22 169.8 lb night 7:30 - after workout that was the increase that I thought was going to happen. But I had fries last night for dinner as well so I expected a high number. Also and lunch and dinner. It also went up a pound after my workout so who knows.
10/23 168.2 lb night 7:15 - after workout. Interesting that it went down that much. We'll see if it balances it's self tomorrow. No temptations today, so it was quite easy to stay on track. I've been trying to break a plateau of about 168/169 for a week and a half now so I'm hopeful!
10/24 168.4 lb night 7:00 - after workout. Pretty good seeming as yesterday was a big drop. I ignored the candy at work today!
10/25 167.4 lb night 7:15 - after workout. That's a pretty good drop. Probably a little to much if it stays. All about healthy loss not fast loss. May need to recalculate calorie in for my new workout regimen. But my plateau might be breaking!!!!

10/20: 149.0 /Finally met my fluid intake goal! Ate under calories but did not meet activity goal.
10/21: 148.2 / I can't believe there was another big drop so soon. I met my fluid goal again. I also walked over 16,000 steps and biked for over 30 minutes. Stayed under calories and actually met my protein goal! Good day. Having sushi tomorrow, yum!
10/22: 148.8 /It was too good to be true! Oh well, I'll keep chugging along. Ate under calories today by my estimate...had a slice of chocolate, hazelnut and marshmallow pizza from Max Brenner, so had to estimate. Walked 14,000+ steps and biked 45+ minutes and met my fluid goal. Now let's see if I can keep it up during the work days!
10/23: 149.8 /And now I've gone above where I ended the last round, urgh! Well, I guess I'll keep chugging along. Didn't meet my activity goal today. Only got in 7000+ steps as the usually with my commute and a busy day. Stayed late at work today and ate the provided food. Stayed under calories and met my fluids goal. Here's hoping for a better tomorrow, scale wise!
10/24: 148.2 /Ok, back to day 2 of this round. Hopefully it's downward from here, but I feel bloated and gassy (TMI?), so probably not. Ate under calories today, got my fluid in and walked 15,000+ steps! So, doing well in terms of the right actions.
10/25: 147.6 /Turns out it's TOM causing the bloated and gassy feeling. Surprised at the drop because I still feel crappy. Stayed within calories, got my fluids in and walked 12,000+ steps. I need to get to some actual working out at some point!
