ain't it tho' -- but I guess that's reality. Don't let it get you. We must all learn to be the tortoise not the hare. And it sucks. But, just to add one more metaphoric cliche, the game is worth the candle.

Try this old Weight Watcher's trick. It works. Ask for the dressing on the side. Dip your bare fork into the dressing before each bite. You'll end up tasting it but only eating a tiny bit of it.

Could be a bit of salt, could be different exercises, could be all sorts of things that cause those up bounces. If you eat at a calorie deficit over the long haul you WILL lose weight. It's just that a graph of weight loss looks like a misshapen ball bouncing down uneven steps.

If anyone wants an example of the impact of sodium and water weight, here it is! In 12 days of traveling and eating out, I put on over 10 pounds. In the 11 days I’ve been home, I dropped it back off! Back to the inexorable trudge toward being simply overweight rather than obese! And finally on to a normal BMI!

Pre-challenges starting weight = 283 BMI = 48.6
Round 8/1: HW 274.4 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1

Round 18/11: HW 256.2 LW 253.4 MidW = 254.8
Round 19/12: End weight = 266.4 (on the road for 12 days preceding)
Round 20/13 HW 264.4 LW 254.0 EndW = 255.0 (the sodium whoosh after the trip)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 254.6 -- Starting out on a normal note for a normal 10 days! The 12 pounds “retrieved” travelling during challenge 19 successfully discarded once again in challenge 20! CICO with perhaps a soupcon of exercise ...
10/31 254.8 -- Basically the same as yesterday. Note to self: great gobs of peanut butter are not to be eaten with a spoon like pudding. If you aren’t gonna measure it, don’t eat it!
11/1 253.6 -- Me like.
11/2 251.8 -- A new low! First one since round 18! Now I am truly past the retrieved trip poundage. And this is with clothes on whereas previously was in my birthday suit! Huzzahs for CICO!
11/3 251.4 -- smile

11/4 251.4 -- same as yesterday. Two days of spanakopita with all that salty feta means some if it is water. Tonight I’ll make something less salty for supper.

R20 Average Weight 222.5

I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. Want to offset hormonal changes that occur when losing weight for extended periods of time that can make it harder to lose and maintain weight and hoping to elevate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit. Last weekend was my first time intentionally eating at maintenance and not only did my weight basically stay the same, which it should, but I didn't realize how hard it is and how hard it probably will be when I do reach maintenance mode. Let' see how this works.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30-222.4 Weight basically the same from Friday even though I ate at maintenance this weekend.
10/31--222.6 Did not drink enough water yesterday. Finished W3D2 of C25K and stretched.
11/1--222.0 Did not drink enough water again yesterday. I'm not sure how accurate this weight is today. The first time I stepped on the scale my weight showed up as much lower, so I weighed myself 2 more times and decided to log the middle weight. I will take it as a positive that the highest weight was still less than yesterday's weight.
11/2--222.6 Feeling bloated but not sure why.
11/3--222.0 Up and down and up and down. I've been fighting a throat infection for the last couple of days so that may have had some affect on my weight the last few days, but then again who knows. I just have to remember that I can only control my daily calorie intake and output.
11/4--222.6 The roller coaster continues. Still taking antibiotics for the throat infection. Eating at maintenance today. My goal today is to get my water in.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 - 246.2 - I am so HAPPY about this loss! I've been trying to add more exercise at night, and I think it's really going to pay off. I would love to go much further than my goal in this round and I'm going to try!
10/31 - 247.2 - I ate a little extra but I worked off some of it. I think the lack of sleep was a factor. Tonight's Halloween, so I'm really hoping I can keep my resolve and have a loss instead of a gain!
11/1 - 247.8 - I had candy, not a lot, but I did have some. I actually am pretty proud of how restrained I was. I was still under calories with exercise, and it wasn't a big gain. I'm going to call it a win and hope that tomorrow is better. Eating at book club tonight, so hopefully there are some healthy choices for me!
11/2 - 248.8 - I was bad. I ate way too much, didn't exercise. I'm hitting a low point and I'm not really sure how to pull myself out of it.
11/3 - 249.8 - This week has definitely been a struggle. But finally it's winding down. I am going to get back on track this weekend, for sure!
11/4 - 247.2 - Got some sleep, didn't overeat, did my exercise. Getting the train back in the right direction!

I started in R: 14@226; current weight 217.1 for a total of 8.9 lbs. lost! These are my 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 unplanned 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!

11/01: 216.2
Well, I can officially say, I didn't eat any Halloween candy! It's Nov. 1, and I'm back in the 16s for a min., but tomorrow is so totally another day! See you then!

No exercise today! I'll be at it in the morning; going to be early, so I can get enough sleep!

Hi my friend! What's with the strike thrus? Hope this doesn't mean you've given up. This is a battle! If you stick with it, eventually, it will get better, but if you give up, I can almost guarantee it will only get worse! We are all hear because we need each other! If you fall, we are here to pick you up, and if we fall, we need you here to help pick us up! We are stronger together than we are apart!!

Round 16: 164.6
Round 18: 164.1
Round 20: 165

Round 20 was a definite challenge, pulling me out of my comfort zone. Hoping to get back on track this round and focus on the daily weigh-in the next morning when I am tempted to go off the rails. Loving this accountability.

10/30: 165 Good day yesterday; got a run in and drank my water. Having trouble tracking, though. I get lazy by dinnertime and don't finish out the day.
10/31: 164.5 managed to finish tracking yesterday.

Got in a walk with the dog and 30 minutes on my elliptical at home. My DH took apart the elliptical, cleaned it, fixed the fan so it works again... nice for those cold mornings when I don't want to drive to the gym...
11/1: 165.7

Not gonna lie. Yesterday I ate with... what did you call it, Heidi, Cyranda? ...reckless abandon. Today has not been much better. Gotta turn it around, and FAST!
11/2: 165.7
11/3: 165.7 My goal today is to not dip into the candy stash at work. I have half an apple and snap peas ready to help me do battle. If I want to see the scale go down, I need to get control of this sugar demon!

11/4: 164.5 Tracked yesterday, exercised, and did not eat one piece of candy at work. One day at a time...

Thank you. Had a dressing on the side. It was just a plain salad and spiced rub chicken. They didn't serve flat white coffee so I had to get cappuccino but I didn't eat the lovely little biscuits they serve with them!! Had a tasty enjoyable meal out without feeling deprived and without indulging! I'm trying to keep in mind this is a lifestyle change so I need to be able to go out and resist/choose the healthy option (my friends eat out a lot).

11/2 158.8 this morning which is really my official start wt, only found this group yesterday and “guesstimated” the 158. MFP has me at 1200 cals per day which may be a little low for me, but I’m willing try! Alcohol is my downfall.
11/3 158.4, hey at least it’s the right direction! I’ve had at least 40oz water daily and have committed to 30 minutes of exercise (walking or Beachbody) 3-4 times per week. Also mostly chicken, fish and veggies. TGIF!!

10/30: 176.0 which considering how I ate yesterday is quite surprising in a good way. Plan for today: drink all the water and stick to the plan!

10/31: 175.2 Plan: just say NO to the Halloween candy! It's the same candy that's around all year long, just in a different wrapper. ( also: say no to the booze!)

11/1: 175.6 I stuck to the plan. No booze. I did eat 2 mini peppermint patties and they were worth it! Walked an extra mile too taking the kiddos out. I'm supposed to do my measurements today, but I'm feeling some hormonal bloat so gonna wait a few days for those. Plan for today: drink more water. Write it, then bite it.

11/2: 175.0

I'm really sick of seeing this. Been here since October 3- although my average weight IS going slightly down according to my trend ( i use Libra) it sure as heck doesn't feel like it and will soon be a horizontal line if this number doesn't budge!
Plan for today: drink 4 24 oz water bottles. Realized I need to be a bit more specific with this one. Also, finish my meal planning for the next week.

11/3: 175.0

I thought I saw 174 flicker for a second. So maybe a whoosh is coming. Let's cross fingers.

Interesting (in a good way!). I ate about 200 over my goal yesterday, but most of it in a big lunch out, which no doubt meant more sodium. I had no dinner, but a Kind bar and, late in the evening, a cinnamon raisin English muffin with peanutbutter. I more and more find that eating a big lunch (or breakfast, actually) and then nibbling a few hundred calories later works better for me than "normal" meals. Can't do that every day (hard to get the hubster to go for big lunches at home), but it would be interesting to try a full couple of weeks eating that way to see what happens. Anyway, always nice to start a new round with an encouraging drop! Good luck to all of you!

10/31 - 148.8
Happy Halloween! It's a scary day with all the goodies around -- I'm allowing myself one small Butterfingers from the trick-or-treat supplies. I plan to nibble and savor it. Otherwise pushing protein, whole-grain carbs, healthy fats, and lots of water. Planning a long walk this afternoon before the rain arrives. Have a great day, all!

11/1 - 149
Okay, I had 4 of the little Butterfingers, not 1, and they tasted great! :-) I ate a bit more than usual otherwise as well and I think I'm retaining water, so not surprised. But I happily think I'm firmly in the 40s now, so that's good.

11/2 - 149.1
I expected this (or more), and know a lot of it is water. I had a little splurge last night - spinach feta pretzel at Barnes & Noble and a couple of cookie samples. Also had mac & cheese for dinner, and I'm always up a bit after that. Back on track today and going forward.

11/3 - 149
Slowly, slowly, down we go....maybe I'll get to the 8's this round, but if I stay right here, that's okay, too.

11/4 - 141.9
Sodium. I went out for lunch yesterday and had a reuben and sweet potato fries, so I know I had a lot of salt. I wasnt hungry for dinner, but had a snack later. I went slightly over my goal, but not enough to gain anything but water. Tomorrow!
