Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 - 218.2 - goal already? I have been pretty sick this weekend and not eating much, so.i expect that this will bounce when I'm feeling better. But we'll see.
10/31- 218.0 - still on the downward trend; feeling better today and ate a bit more. we'll see if it holds.
11/1 - 218.4 - a little but of a bounce. Not too bad for eating Chinese food for dinner and not accurately tracking it.
11/2 - 217.0 - All kinds of new lows so far this round. I guess being sick really helps! lol
11/3 - 216.4 - forgot to post yesterday
11/4 - 215.2 - I'm sure this will be higher tomorrow. I didn't do any tracking today because we got engaged!!!
11/5 - 216.8 - Not too much of a bounce. I expect to be drinking lots of water to day.
11/6 - 216.8 - Holding steady right now; I'm OK with this. Gotta get back on track with the exercise.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30: 147.6

/Up by almost a pound. To be expected but still disappointing. Had a good day today. Under calories and reached 11,000+ steps. Only got in 48oz of fluid and 16 of 25g of fiber.
10/31: 147.8

/(Posted on 11/1) Now a pound heavier than the end of Round 20. And today was a very bad day...drank two cocktails and two glasses of wine plus a ton of bad food. Well over calories and unable to log properly. This is the third day in a week of poor eating.
11/1: 147.8

/Still not budging. Did all the right things today. Drank 64oz of water, walked 9000+ steps and went to the gym (swimming). Ate under my allotted calories. Struggling with getting enough fiber and I feeling it in the area of digestion...
11/2: 147.8

/This number really likes me! @quiltingjaine, you're totally right! I have to be patient. Ate under calories today. Clocked in 13,000+ steps including 34:44 minutes of running at 11:30 min/mile, which is my fastest yet. Unable to get 64 oz or meet fiber goal. I really struggle with water, fiber and protein goals. Fingers crossed for a dip tomorrow!
11/3: 147.0

/Well, at least it's getting back down to my R20 end weight. Ate under calories and clocked 12,000+ steps.
11/4: 145.6

/Ok, so I got on the scale around 7am and it was 146.4 but then I went back to bed and when I woke up the scale read lower. So, the reality...who knows? Walked 10,000+ steps, ate under calories and actually met my fiber goal! I hope to see 145s tomorrow too!
11/5: 145.8

/I stayed in today, so no gym or steps. I reduced my weight loss goal to 0.5lbs/week which gives me 1490 calories now. I'm 10.8 lbs away from my goal and I want to start seriously strength training soon. That being said, totally had the munchies today. It's only 6pm and I only have 90 calories left.
11/6: 146.4

/Definitely not the best round. I'll be happy if I at the very least end in the 145s on Wednesday. I dropped my calories back down...I'm definitely conflicted. Anyways, ate under calories today. Made an awesome Trader Joe's salmon burger on an English muffin and salad for dinner.

10/31: Forgot to weigh
11/1: 149.16- The days are so hectic here I keep forgetting to weigh.
11/2: 149.6- Yesterday I was super hungry all day. (think it was probably more tired than hungry) I tried to drink lots of water, but I went over on calories by about 50 calories. Today was really nice. Had a walk to and from a local cafe to have coffee with a friend.
11/3: 149.38- Yesterday I was quite hungry again, so I had a small snack that put me over calories by about 50.
11/4: 149.6- Got an hour walk in today.
11/5: 148.94- Planned to walk to the grocery store, but I got caught up in house cleaning and had to jump in the car 5 minutes before they closed. I'm doing a major winter purge and clean, so I'm sure the extra work is burning calories at least.
11/6: 148.94- The temperature has dropped here and it is getting hard to feel motivated to get out and exercise. I think I need to figure out a winter exercise plan.

10/30: 167.0
Had a dr appt today, just routine, was hoping she'd notice or comment on weight loss but nope. Nice relaxing day otherwise.
10/31: 166.5
My lowest yet, but I've seen it four (five?) times now. I'm ready to move on.
11/1: 165.0
Today the magical scale showed 163, 164, 165. I'll take it, but doubt it's for real. On my feet all day working an event, lots of standing and walking back and forth. Brought my own food so I didn't buy from vendors or try snackies in the break room. Drank lots of water, practically perfect on macros. No added sugar.
11/2: 165.0
Worked very late, got home at 11. Under ate today and not enough water.
11/3: 163.0
I ate low and was dehydrated yesterday. I enjoyed a rest day today, just a half day in the office then out to eat. It was lovely after two days working outside. I expect a tick up tomorrow, but I hope not above 165. Oh, had honey mustard dressing so I can't say no added sugar today.
11/4: 163.5
OK! I'll take it. Had a decent day with water, food, exercise and not touching the bleeping leftover Halloween candy that appeared in the office. I'll be honest, it was tough not to eat it.
11/5: 163.5
Fine on food & water. Enjoyed a "dessert" of plain Greek yogurt with cacao nibs and one chopped date for a little sweetness. I think I'll look up some recipes for cacao nibs, they are growing on me.

11/6: 162.0
Monday is my "Saturday." I went on a hike, I'm proud of myself for making it up 880ft elevation gain in a mile. We went out to eat, then I had a lovely nap. Not sure what to expect on the scale tomorrow, definitely had a large calorie deficit today and I'm ok on water but I'm expecting sore legs and that can mean a little inflammation.

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

In the middle of Round 20, it occured to me that I may have reached my maintenance weight. I have hovered around 159 for weeks, despite keeping to my calorie goal, (10% below my TDEE), and doing loads of exercise, (and eating back minimal exercise calories). I am in the normal range for my age height and build, so I wondered if I was being realistic in my Target Goal Weight. I'm fitter and healthier than I have been for decades. I think fit and healthy should be my new focus rather than weight loss!
New Primary Goal - stay under 160lbs.

Losing a pound would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.

to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me an element of daily accountability which is motivational.

Observations, and Previous Rounds

Many events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you stick with it! The game continues!

A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:

Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
A high sodium day usually results in a gain due to water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.

Don't beat yourself up over a temporary gain. Trust the process and stick with the programme.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!

10/30: 227.7/ Met my step goal today. Food choices were not terrible, but I did give in to the Halloween candy temptation.
10/31: 226.6/ Doing okay today. I'm almost at my step goal, so I should get meet my goal this evening. But the food temptations! School Halloween party, plus a student's birthday, plus Halloween candy at home for my son!!! I have to resist!
11/1: 226.3/ Did great on calories and steps today, if I stop eating now. I have a lot to do this evening, but that's when my munching temptations kick in. I may just go on to bed early to avoid the temptation.
11/2: 226.4/ Not so great with food choices today, but went over my step goal.
11/3: 226.1/Having a hard time resisting snacks and munching. Doing pretty good on calories but not the best. There's a good bit I could cut out to help with losing weight. It's easy to say that after the fact, not as easy when food is right in front of me.
11/4: 225.8/ Weight is going down, so I'm happy. Still haven't made good food choices. Tomorrow- no sugary desserts all day. No chips or other snacks. Only planned meals and a planned snack between meals. I know I can do it for one day!
11/5: 225.2/ Weight is still going down! I did really good on the no sugar snacks today, not perfect, but much better than usual. Tomorrow- same goal- no unplanned snacks. I'm also going to cut back on processed carbs.
11/6: 225.8/ I don't like that it went back up today.

Hope it goes back down tomorrow, but I had a lot of sodium today, so I may retain/gain more.

11/7: 227.3/ Well, that just sucks. I'm right back where I started this round.

Round 21 - The Plan:
I am away for work for a few days this round so will be practicing intermittent fasting and will have to remember to take my water bottle with me. Got into a good groove last round so looking to keep that going. Would like to get some more exercise this time around though as I only made it out twice last round.

End weight: 64.9kg

Day/Weight/Comment

10/30 - 65.6kg - Had a lovely day of not counting yesterday as a bit of mental reprieve. Enjoyed a glass of wine and spaghetti for dinner with my partner. The blip on the scale was expected. Back to high protein, low carb, intermittent fasting for the rest of the round. C'mon goal weight!
10/31- 65.0kg - Good day yesterday, managed to stay away from all the sweets that are in the house at the moment. Almost down past my finishing weight for last round. Didn't get any exercise yesterday but will be hitting the gym today!
11/1 - 64.4kg - YAY!! So happy to see my lowest weight in over 12 months. Bye bye TOM. The plan is working! Prepped my dinner to eat in my hotel tonight (so so boring but necessary) and will be seeking out healthy options while I'm in London. Looking forward to potentially being at my mini-goal by the time I get back to my scale!
11/2 - Away from scale - had a super hungry day yesterday but managed to stick to the plan. Definitely under my water goal. London tap water BLERGH. Eating light today because I'm out with a work colleague for dinner tonight. Going to stick to max two glasses of wine and will order vegetable and protein off the menu (sauce on the side of course).
11/3 - Away from scale - well the plan to only have two wines last night didn't happen hahaha. Did well with dinner though. Feeling a little sorry for myself today and trying to stay away from the food car on the train home. A Kit Kat is calling my name haha
11/4 - 65.9kg
11/5 - 65.2kg
11/4 - 65.2kg - Apologies for being AWOL, I've been having problems with both my MFP on my phone and my motivation levels (as you can see with the scale). Back at 'em today. Still keen to get under 65kg for the end of the round. Bring it on!
11/7 - 64.8kg - YIPPEE! The plan is working people! Imagine that. Averaging out my calories to be under 1300 for the 10 day challenge is really keeping me focused and gives me the wiggle room I need on the weekends

11/7 - 183.8 what? Yay! Someone asked me yesterday what my secret is and as I was explaining CICO and exercise they almost looked bored. Then they asked me about apple cider vinegar. I felt like I just wasted 5 minutes of my life that could have been spent getting some exercise. I know I should have more patience but it seemed like everything I just said went right through her ears.

R18 - I followed the thread but didn't record my weights as I had no access to a reliable Scale
R19 - HW 192.2 LW 190.4 - I Can't record Average as I didn't post for 1/2 of the days
R20 HW 189.8 LW 187.4 Total weights Average: 188.9

Last round I FINALLY made it out of the 90's for the first time in nearly a year and a half! This time I have TOM so my I'm going to take it slow and not have my expectations too high.

Goal for this round: Stay in the 80's and try to see 186.0

Weight on Oct. 29th: 188.6

R21 (8th Round for me)

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 - 189.0
10/31 - 188.6 A little better, but TOM still visiting.
11/1 - 189.8 Yikes! Moving in the WRONG direction. This is the result of one really naughty meal. I'm bloated and feeling yucky and regret it, so I'll do much better today!
11/2 - 189.4 A bit of the bloating gone. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be back to where I should be.
11/3 - 188.8 OK. This is better. Back on track!
11/4 - 187.6 Yay!!! Now things start getting serious! I want to see 187.? For the next 4 days!!!
11/5 - 188.2 I'm REALLY upset by this number this morning. I don't know why it has hit me this hard, but I'm feeling really really down about it. I just want to stay below 188 so badly. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
11/6 - 187.4 FINALLY !!! Let's keep it below 187.9 for the next few days shall we?
11/7 - 187.2 Sooo close to the next number!!

11/1 - 186.2 Damn Hallowe'en candy
11/2 - 185.8 Heading in the right direction (after the Hallowe'en blunder)
11/3 - 184.6 I cut out Splenda on my morning oatmeal.....seems to be doing the trick
11/4 - 186.8 CRAP, CRAP and double CRAP......got into the Office Goodies yesterday. Big mistake!!!!
11/5 - 187.6 Dinner out last night - included a glass of wine & dessert. 3 days to see a loss!

I have no goal in mind for only 10 days. I will be happy with a 1 or 2 pound loss after each round. My ultimate
goal weight is 170

I think people just want a magic bullet sometimes. I am often asked how long it has taken me to lose the 26kgs I've lost so far and when I say 4 years people are like "Oh... ummm, good work?" as if it's not really an achievement if it hasn't happened in 30 days!

Starting MFP weight 223
10-29 weight 171.6

Round 21 - CGW - 169 (2.6 pounds)

10/30 - 171.6 - Happy with this weight. No gain overnight.

10/31 - 171.4 - A loss is a loss is a WIN! Staying focused and working hard. Off to the gym to run and lift.

11/1 - 171.6 - Yuck!!! Hanging in there.

11/2 - 172.4 - Ouch! And that's what happens folks when you don't work the plan as you should. I own it and I'm really mad at myself for giving up on me. Today is a new day and new mindset. I expect good results tomorrow.

11/3 - 172.4 - Well I got nothin. Off to run a few miles and lift weights.

11/4 - 172

11/5 - 173.8 - Oh boy, not good at all. I wasn't going to post today because I was too embarrassed, but what is the point of doing the challenge if I'm not upfront about the awful days too. Hopefully better news tomorrow.

11/6 - 173.2 - I'll get there. Not giving up.

11/7 - 171.8 - Now that's what I'm talking about! If I work hard today I just may end this round with a slight loss overall. I was on the fence about running today but this just inspired me!

11/8 -

Good luck everyone. Remember, only YOU can make this happen!

It's an achievement! Awesome job! Another achievement is that you are still losing and aren't gaining.

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!

Thank you!
