Day/Weight/Comment
10/30: 158.0 Very happy to see this number again! Not sure what today will bring. Maine got a crazy storm. No power, schools closed, work closed, roads closed, power lines down everywhere! It could be days without power. We have a generator though so hopefully sticking with plan as much as possible!
10/31: 158.0 Still no power and estimates are it might be Saturday before we get it! Our road has at least 6 trees hanging/down on power lines. I was bad last night and consumed too much alcohol. Kicking myself for the hangover today. A good reminder why I don't do that anymore! Back to business tomorrow!
11/1: 157.2 We got power back this evening! No candy temptations yet. Our town postponed trick or treating to Friday due to downed lines everywhere.
11/2: 158.2 Expected fluctuation. Had dinner at my in laws last night before getting our power back. Salty and carbs with a small dessert. Didn't enter it into MFP. So happy to get back to semi normal life today. Still no school for kids but I can use the treadmill today. W5D2 of C25K today!
11/3: 158.0 TOM started. Nice number to see considering this! Our trick or treating will be tonight so hello influx of candy! Will try to plan for a few pieces and continue to moderate! Looking forward to the weekend after this wild week.
11/4: 156.8 Nice number this morning. Feeling confident going onto the weekend. Nowhere to be so planning on cleaning, yard work and exercise both days.
11/5: 157.0 Not a great night of sleep. Daughter woke with a fever. Did W5D3 of C25K yesterday which was 20 minutes straight running; nailed it! Such a big accomplishment as I've never considered myself a "runner".
11/6: 159.8 Oh Gosh. Hello water weight. I did so much yard work yesterday that I have some sore muscles this morning. Feels great though!

11/05 - 219.2 Did so good at birthday party and then late night run to Taco Bell. Blew it. Chose to eat the shell, otherwise I would have been ok. Have to dwell on total loss so far and fact that today is a new day and I can make good choices that support my goals. I can also prepare a few meals that can be fixed in a hurry
11/06 - 220 - Another small gain - Had company all day, off and on. They had eaten before they came and I didnt want to cook my meal while they were visiting. Therefore skipped lunch and dinner and made another Taco Bell run. Two Taco Supremes. Add some small bites of snack mix and peanut butter and had 3/4 lb weight gain. Have to prepare emergency foods or I will not succeed

Hello my lovely daily check in friends!! Glad to be back and to see all of you regulars and all the new faces!!
SW - 182.4 - in March 2017
GW - 145- smashed this about 2 weeks ago. I'm currently trying to figure out my best calorie level to be able to maintain between 144 and 146. I'm pretty happy where I'm at weight wise and have some fitness goals I want to work on over the next 6 months or so. I dipped into the 143's last round...
10/29 - 145.6 - coming in from round 20. I've picked up a lovely fall head cold and haven't been moving much and not eating as well as I should.

10/30 - 147.0 - BLEH!!! Feeling super bloated today. Still really run down from the cold. Jacking up the vitamins and going to get lots of water in me today to flush this thing out!! To much to do this week.
10/31 - 146.8 - Over did it a little (ok...maybe a lot) with the Popcorners yesterday...salty and carby is not helping to get rid of this bloat.
11/1 - 146.6 - SLOWWWLLLYYY chipping this back off...going to keep the salt and carbs down today...I promise!!
11/2 - Totally forgot to get on the scale this morning. The main hwy was closed due to a terrible accident all day yesterday so I went online and turned on the radio first thing to see if I would be able to get into my client today and messed up my regular routine...
11/3 - 145.4 - back in my target range...going to try the trails this morning and see how mucky they are after the rain yesterday...might be giving the dog a bath today LOL.
11/4 - 144.6 - Great run yesterday and did some major house cleaning...didn't stop moving all day. Probably didn't drink enough water, and had a few cocktails last night so some of this dip may be dehydration. Heading out for another trail run today, need to take advantage of outdoor exercise while the weather holds
11/5 - 144.2 - had another go go go day yesterday. Still trying to work out the calorie sweet spot for maintaining, especially on very active days.
11/6 - 145.8 - Homemade lasagna for dinner last night...totally worth it!!

No sense getting embarrassed among us. We're all in the same boat. We need to learn to love ourselves with all the vicissitudes of life getting in the way. None of us is totally consistent. We all have good days and bad for a variety of reasons. What's happening here is that we are taking a moment each day to learn about what makes our own self tick, at least weight wise. Consider this note a BIG HUG! See ya tomorrow!9 -
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!

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.

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!
11/5 - 245.6 - Close to my R21 goal!!
11/6 - 245.2 - I was hoping for a bigger loss. I ate within my calories and exercised. A little disappointed, but at least the scale is going in the right direction.

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. 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.

11/1 141.4 Hellooo sodium from yesterday's chinese lunch. Ate chick and gr beans but only 1/4 cup of rice if that. No exercise but got a wonderful leather coat from goodwill for $12 and toy laptop for grandson for $2. It was a good day. Today, exercise.
11/2 142 Wrong direction here. Did gym workout yesterday but ate some junk. Need to get eating clean and get y butt on ellip.
11/3 141.6 Did 80 min on ellip yesterday. Ate breakfast for dinner so bacon=sodium or I think I would have lost more. Going to pool class today and maybe some gym. Happy Friday, ya'll.

11/5 - 182.6 - I'm coming out of a business trip. I hardly slept while I was gone, definitely didn't drink enough water, and made decent choices but didn't concern myself with portion sizes at all. Last night I went to bed at 8:30 and slept over 9 hours. Today we have brunch at our BFFs. My goal today is to drink 90 oz of water, get a little exercise in, and foam roll my hips, back, and legs, along with stretching. Back at it. Hopefully this water weight drops quickly.
11/6 179.6 Back to where I started but much quicker this time. Hopefully I can start making some real progress. I've been exercising and the workouts I've been doing are cardio/strength combined, so it's very possible I'll be in a "not much loss" zone for a while as my body composition changes. We'll see.

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.
11/4: 174.0 FINALLY a new and exciting number! Let's hope it sticks!
11/5: 173.6 down another half pound! this is the lowest weight I have been in 9 years!
11/6: 172.8 this is a major whoosh! my body wants to hold on for so long, but it finally gave up. Glad to hit my mini goal for this round (after a whole month!)

11/6 - 173.2 - I'll get there. Not giving up.
Good job! Not giving up is key to the process. There will always be ups.7 -

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.
11/5--222.8 Ate at maintenance yesterday, felt great and I think eating more really helped with my continued recovery from the throat infection. Finished W4D1 of C25K and had breakfast at a great diner this morning. Plan today is to stay hydrated and continue to rest. Eating at maintenance today.
11/6--223.7 Ate at maintenance yesterday. Extra heavy carbs=temporary water gain.

Female, age 60, 5'4"
SW 195 [joined MFP Nov 2015, lost 9.5# & got serious Jan 2017]
1st Goal 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
2nd Goal 145 = normal BMI
UGW Range 140 - 145
I weigh first thing in the morning when I get up. My scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day.10/20/17: Oooh, I like this thread! I've been weighing myself daily since April, keeping track in MFP Food Notes, and logging my "official" weigh-ins on Saturdays. I've been amazed at how much my weight can fluctuate from day to day, depending on eating out or processed foods, adult beverages, net calories green or red, etc. Daily weigh-ins really help me see cause and effect with high sodium days, adult beverages, too much sugar, etc. I don't get freaked out as much by a jump on the scale now, since I know what I did to cause it, and what I can do to change it. My scale measures in 1/2 # increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.Round 20
10/20: 166.0
10/21: 166.5 After vacation day with hubby & eating out for lunch and supper, not so bad.
10/22: 167.0
10/23: 168.5 Ack! Sedentary day, pizza for supper & 3 days too little water.
10/24: 167.0 Drank 15c water and net calories (barely) green.
10/25: 166.0 Back to SW this round. Net calories green 35 & 12c water.
10/26: 166.0 A little surprised....happy hour after work with 1 pint beer, "healthier" pub food & popcorn for supper. Drank 14c water. Fitbit 14,674 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 40 floors.
10/27: 165.0 Fitbit 15,929 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom) & 38 floors. 14c water. Been low on fiber lately.
10/28: 164.5 Fitbit 15,461 steps, 250+ steps 13/14, & 37 floors
10/29: 166.5 Ate way over on carbs and every bite was delicious! I don't care, it was one day.
10/30: 166.0 Very sedentary day (church, visit parents & 3 hour round trip) following high carb day, no surprise. Fitbit 3,888 steps, 250+ steps 5/14 hours & 7 floors. At least I drank 12c water.
10/31: 165.0 Fitbit 13,521 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 48 floors and 12c water
11/01: 164.5 Fitbit 13,993 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 hours (boom) & 40 floors; 12c water
11/02: 164.0 Dog-walk day plus active evening: two loads of laundry, made large couscous salad, cooked triple batch cream of leek soup & baked lemon zucchini cake. Fitbit 16,109 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 42 floors; 13c water.
11/03: 165.0 Expected. Net calories red plus non-dog walk day plus shortened workday (fewer stairs breaks) plus inactive evening (busy-ness & stress of past 3 days took its toll). Fitbit 8,110 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 hours & 20 floors. 12c water.
11/04: 163.0 Wow, unexpected. Of course, net calories green, dog walk day & kept busy around the house after work. Fitbit 16,188 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 hours (boom) & 49 floors (plenty of stairs breaks at work plus home); 12c water.
11/05: 164.5 Pizza for supper, net calories red & 12c water. Walked dog 3.58 miles. Fitbit 16,837 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 hours, and 28 floors.
11/06: 166.0 Ack! Can you say sodium? Not great eating all day but active. Then caved when hubby got out tortilla chips & salsa con queso in the evening. Usually I ignore his snacking, but he was sitting next to me on the couch. I will have to forbid snacking next to me in future. Net calories red > 500 and sodium > 4,600mg oh my! 10c water and Fitbit 15,573 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 hours & 20 floors. Will be drinking lots of water today.

I ate half a donut I forgot to factor in Daylight savings time and a meeting after church into my food plans. The donut was my only option before 1:30 pm (which would have felt like 2:30). I couldn't make it.
You did awesome to only eat half a doughnut! Woo Hoo to you!!
