10/20: 166.5
Need more water today, stayed up too late last night. Good on calories, veggies, OK on protein. Got a little exercise. No added sugar. I'm on a whoosh, I think interval running is giving me a larger calorie deficit than I'm accounting for. We'll see if it keeps up.
10/21: 167.0
Spoke too soon! This bump doesn't bother me, I am still 2 lbs down for the last week. Today was good, I found an excuse to get outside and walk during my work day, then went for a short run this evening. Good on water, calories, etc. No sugar today. I even turned down pizza.
10/22: 167.5
Hm, still went up and I was practically perfect Friday and Saturday. Imma be way up tomorrow, I went out to dinner and had all the butter in the world, went over my calories for the first time in ages, like halfway into tomorrow's calories. No dessert or cocktail, at least. Didn't have sugar today but I found a roll of breath mints (with sorbitol) in my desk and ate several, I always munched stuff like that like candy so I stopped buying them.
10/23: 168.5 Yeah.
For what it's worth, today was mostly on track. Though if yesterday was "B" for butter, today might have been "C" for cheese. Under calories, though. No sugar.
10/24: 169.0
Honestly, I almost skipped this thread today because this is discouraging. But, I know I didn't eat 7,000 extra calories in the last few days, I have to just keep going. Ate very light today, lots of water. No added sugar.
10/25: 167.5
Okay, a bit better. I drank 4L/1gal of water yesterday to rid my body of evil spirits and it helped. Today I did terrible with water, forgot my bottle at home and didn't drink any fluids from 9a-6p. Fine on calories, no added sugar, got some exercise tonight after dinner.
10/26: 168.5
Good on calories, protein, water, exercise today.
10/27: 167.5
Event at work today, didn't eat or drink quite enough for the day. I ate some pizza though, not sure what the scale will look like tomorrow.
10/28: 166.0
Mostly due to yesterday's dehydration, I think. I didn't do well on water today either. With post-event cleanup today, I had two days of lots of moving around and carrying things, I didn't count steps but my feet tell me I walked a lot. Ate low again today, not deliberately but two days under 1200, too busy/too tired. Got a short interval run in this evening. Waiting to see if I end this round a tiny bit down, break even, or bump up above my starting weight. Anything could happen on the scale tomorrow.

10/29: 166.5
So I ended this round breaking even. I'm 6lbs down from the beginning of the month so I'm fine with this.

In for Round 20

10/20 - 152.8 - I think 153 is gone
10/21 - 153.6 - apparently not. Ate poorly last night, drank wine.... kinda ignored my plan. It’s ok, it’ll go back down.
10/22 - 154.6 goodness sakes TOM
10/23 - TOM
10/24 - 154.6
10/25 - 152.8 much better
10/26 -152.6 getting there, back to where I was a week ago. Lesson? Wine and candy during TOM makes one gain. One can lose weight by getting back on track!
10/27 - 152.2
10/28 - 151.4 surprised, and pleased!
10/29 - 152.4 - not down much this round, but at least it’s not up. Lots of up and down, lots of learning too. Thank goodness for this daily group. Who knows what would happen if I wasn’t watching it daily.

10/25 156 Stayed under in calories, yesterday. Did back exercises including crunches & planks. Did push-ups & triceps extensions/dips
10/26 156 Did Leslie Sansone Burn 30 Workout, yesterday.
10/27 156 Dieted successfully, yesterday. No exercise. Did go to dr for check up, yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised to find that I'd lost 10 pounds since my last office visit in Feb.
10/28 157.2 way over in calories, no exercise. -- Went to large dinner last night, didn't eat hardly any due to helping out & nothing really left... So, afterwards, about 10:30pm -- drove by Taco Bell -- and totally blew it!!! Looks like I will gain back what I've lost... Today, I have another special dinner to go to... this does not bode well. I need to just eat what I plan ALL the time, but need to go out and be with others. So, this is a HUGE problem area for me... I'll have to find a solution to this problem...
10/29 157.6 over in calories, no exercise

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!!
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.
10/26 183.2
10/27 183.2
10/28 178.8 wow! I guess I had a whoosh. This is a loss of 26 lbs. I've been whining and boom! This is the first time in over 20 years that I've weighed less than 180.
10/29 (writing this on Monday, 10/30) I didn't weigh yesterday. I was so busy from the moment I opened my eyes until I finally went to bed last night @ 12am. So I guess I'll count Saturday's weight.

EW: 178.8 -2.8 lbs

10/20 -156.5 *Wow not bad for dinner at Mom's and a lack of walking (less than 8000 steps ) Ate extra dessert too. Back at it today and a big push this weekend for hitting tons of steps. Happy weekend everyone!!
10/21 ~ 156.8. Almost hit steps but did go swimming with grandson, so? Was super hungry after swimming and had too many treats that’s were hanging around the kitchen/fridge. SO is on his way home, new plan is to stay somewhat stable. So hard as we will be visiting and having dinners with everyone etc. Rain rain rain must try and get those steps in. Maybe find some mud boots and gear and hit up a corn maze. Hmmmm hope everyone likes my plan with secret step goal built in. Have a great Saturday!
10/22 - 158.7. Too much sitting, chatting and sodium. Plus over calories. See what happens Monday morning as the weather is still horrible. I need to go outside!!
10/23 - 160.1 Oh dear.
10/24 - 160.0 Just a few more days of SO being home. It's always such a busy time with the unknown about to happen as everyone wants to see him and we have to travel for visits. Too much sitting and I've been into the chocolate and pre plans of my meals have been tossed aside. I know I'll be fine and that is my biggest lesson I have figured out!! Those double 5's are just a bit farther away. Also if I can manage myself through Christmas I've come a long long way.
10/25 - 160.2 300 Days of MFP!! Had Chinese food last night and maybe some chocolate too. SO has left again for work (Just 4 days home ) But I can get back on track and give away the tempting chocolate. May be a lazy day today again as I had to get up early and take him to the airport. Need to get back to planning and prepping. No brought from home lunch today either.... Ugggg
10/26 - 161.5 ... Ok, I've got my stuff together now. My biggest lesson learned is to dust myself off and get back up, because really I haven't fallen too far. It's a lot of water weight and I'll be back close to my double 5's in no time!!

10/27 - 159.4. . Heading to the big city. Lots of walking and maybe get me some pants that fit!! Not sure I’ll be able to get on a scale tomorrow but we will see. Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!!

10/28
10/29 - 159.5 Busy weekend of shopping lots and lots of walking and a few treats
