Round 12: 174
Round 13: 171.4
Round 15: 166.8
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...
11/5: 164.5 Tracked again, ate a bit over calories, but also put in an hour of exercise. Had a difficult time with the night snacking last night. Portioned out my chips and a little bit of wine to have with our movie, but my DD also made pumpkin pie and I had some of that, too.
11/6: 165.4 I am on day 5 of a new exercise routine with weights. Don't think I got enough water yesterday and went out to eat. I feel good, though!
11/7: 165.4 Ran on the treadmill for 35 minutes, no night snacking. Did not partake in office candy!

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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!!
11/7 - 146.2 - I'm just having a bloaty week....feeling puffy today.

Thank you for the last challenge. I love this and want to keep going. My goal weight is 140 lbs, but for this 10 day challenge I will settle for 148 lbs.
Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 - 154.4 (down .2 lbs from yesterday)
10/31 - 155.0 I don't know why I am going up. Maybe not enough water intake?
11/1 - 155.6 ARGH... too much Halloween candy!
11/2 - 155.0 Not doing so well this round. No energy to excercise, so that is most likely the problem. Sigh!
11/3 - 154.2
11/4 - did not weigh in
11/5 - did not weigh in
11/6 - 156.8 - The weekend happened. I tried to keep the food to a minimum, but entertaining with friends so...

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 - 149.1
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!
11/5 - 149
Back on track! I'm hoping for a little drop before the end of the round, but staying here works, too.
11/6 - 149.1
What is it with that .1 lb?
11/7 - 149.2
Sigh. I'm hungry all the time, so keep eating a couple hundred over my goal, clearly at maintenance rather than to lose. So I just did a little research on foods that make us hungry, and find that my egg whites, low-fat kefir, cheese, and guilty daily indulgence of licorice all sorts (!!) are all potential appetite stimulants. I just made a week's worth of low-fat kefir-egg white-overnight muesli breakfasts, so I'm considering how to add a bit of fat to my breakfasts to increase satiety. Anyway, if you're hungry all the time, maybe Google "foods that make you hungry" to see if a diet tweak might help. :-) (And right now I'm sitting in the B&N cafe resisting EVERYTHING but my water bottle!)

10/31: 232---- Uggghhh. The dreaded bloat!
11/1: 232---- Ate within goals, BUT nibbled on candy as I passed it out.
11/2: 231.8---- Not much, but it is back in the right direction.
11/3: 230.2--- Wow, my stomach had been feeling icky and bloated since Sunday. I think I had what old folks called
"fever on the belly" from the flu shot I got last Thursday, and this morning it made it's dramatic exit
11/4: 230----Saw 229 on the scale yesterday after being in the yard for 3 hours. But then ofcourse, I had to eat and hydrate. Happy with a loss, but I want to see the 220s.
11/5: 229.8----I know if I breathe the wrong way today 230 can float back up, but for now I'm going to enjoy this number

That was really an unrealistic goal since a steady weight loss of .5 to 2 pounds per week is really all one should expect. Some folks are inspired by giving themselves unattainable goals to strive for, others are depressed by not reaching an unrealistic short term goal. I don't know which you are but make sure you do what works best for you in setting your challenge goals.
Some of us find behavioral goals work better like doing a certain amount of exercise or not eating over a certain number of calories. My goal each week is to keep at it and not even consider quitting!7 -
R21 SW 75.9 kgs / 167.3 (29/10)

10/30 - 75.8 kgs / 167.1 (slow start but fingers crossed!)
10/31 - 75.3 kgs / 166

11/02 - 75 kgs / 165.3

11/06 - 74.6 kgs / 164.4
11/07 - 74 kgs / 163.1
10/08 - 73.9 kgs / 162.9
That was a first great round with a lost of 2 kilos in 10 days! Now here is to hope most weeks will keep looking like this! I love the accountability of that challenge and also how it helps you understand how your body works a bit better. I saw this trend before but I now know that I tend to lose weight over 2 days and then just stay kind of the same for a while. It happened twice in the past 10 days so I'm guessing it will only happen once for the next round but who knows!4 -

This is important to figure out and it's different for each of us. I need to avoid artificially sweetened things because sweet taste without calories makes me want to chew the drapes. I need a relatively high fat breakfast of eggs scrambled with cheese and cream to keep me satisfied all day. If I eat cereal for breakfast, even if it's the same number of calories, I'll be snacking uncontrollably that night.
In the "old days," when we knew less about human nutrition, we were told to eat low fat foods that were low in calories to lose weight. This led us down the road to failure because we got hungry. As it turns out, a balanced diet including fats, vegetables, grains, fruit, and lean meat if you're a meat eater is the way to go.
It makes eating to lose weight a lot more fun when you can eat tasty foods but just limit the amounts!

11/2 167.8 lb night, post workout. Not quite back down to my lowest (Halloween rise) but I'm getting there. Did a crap ton of exercise today (3 hours), I'm pooped.
11/3 168.2 lb midday. Period struck. That probably has attributed to the rise. Just going to keep going as see what happens at the end.
11/4 no scale
11/5 no scale
11/6 168.0 lb night. Kept it stable over the weekend! Hoping to see the number drop again by the end of this.
11/7 166.6 lb night. There's the post period drop I was looking for. The period munchies have all but disappeared as well! Back on track with everything tomorrow.

I have no words, only feelings that I can't explain and hurt my heart. I just had to say something.
Sometimes, there are no words, but your expression of emotions says so much. It's how I also feel.5 -
would like to join this challenge for some extra accountability. I've found myself much more lax with my food lately because I'm pretty close to my goal weight. My SW was 148, current weight is 121.6 and goal weight is 117ish (I'm 5'1). I'm starting a few days late but better than waiting for another 7 days to get going again.
10/30: NA but had a really good workout
10/31: 121.8-
11/1: 121.6-
11/2: 122.0-
11/3: 121.4
11/4: 121.0
11/5: 121.4- Down Up Down Up! Well I didn't avoid the donuts at church today. I forgot to factor in DST and was super hungry and ended up eating half of one. Water intake was good for the day. Eating was on track until I made myself a bowl of popcorn at 8 pm. I think I'm going to join the no late night snacking challenge too.
11/6: 121.0- I did good today. I finished week 8 day 3 of C25k, which means that I only have 1 more freaking day to go!! I had a salad for dinner too. If I gain tomorrow, I think that it will be due to the broccoli that I ate with my salad. Excited since I did some meal prep for lunches too for the rest of the week.
11/7: 120.4- woot woot! Had another day where my eating was good. Is it possible to get under 120??7
