10/30 - 152.4 and holding
10/31 - forgot to weigh in
11/1 - 151.4 (tons of steps!)
11/2 - 150 I like this!!!!
11/3 - 152
11/4 - 153.4 what’s going on?! Uhg.
11/5 - 152.8 Better....
11/6 - 152.4 - back to the beginning... darn candy!!!
11/7 - 152.4 right where I was at beginning of round
11/8 - 153.4 I don’t know what this is!!! I was way under yesterday plus 12000 steps. This is the first time I’ve been up at the end of a round. Stinks. I was expecting a swoosh today. Sigh.
This happens.. it really sucks when it happens to you though. Once you see the numbers you know that you can get there. I find if a lower number pops up a few times in a round and doesn't stick it shows itself more in the next round. (p.s. Your last round average was 153, this round average is 152.24)
Thank you for the data and encouragement

Sarting 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 - 171.4
Good luck everyone. Remember, only YOU can make this happen!

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.
11/8 166.4 lb night. I just didn't want to workout today. But I made my self go and I did part of my workout. Hated every minute, but I got some in. Some days you just feel like this and need a break from the trudge.4 -

10/30 - 159.0
10/31 - 160.1 Happy Halloween!! Been an off track last few days, but back at it. NSV: Wearing a size small today!! Just a sweater jacket, but small. Only size they had left super cute so I tried it on and it fit ok.
11/01 - 162.5 Day after Halloween. Ate less than 1/4 of treats I would have on previous Halloweens. Had Indian for dinner and my increase is probably due to that. Gave the last few kids tons of candy their eyes were huge!! Only had 15 kids and gave out regular sized bars. I figured if I had (1) regular bar that the would satisfy me and I would end up eating less and lose count on all those tiny ones. So over on cals, enjoyed the night. Did way way better than previous Halloweens. So I'm chalking this up as a win!!
11/02 - 161.1 Thought this was going to be way worse, having trouble with time manangement these last few days. Need to get to the grocery store and prep/plan dinners.
11/03 - 159.6 It snowed here a little yesterday evening. Made it to the grocery store and picked up ingredients to make a slow cooker stew for tonight. Friday night of cozying up with a bowl of stew (380 calories/ bowl) and a movie with the kids. Simple Friday!! Have a great weekend everyone!!
11/04 - 159.1
11/05 - 160.3
11/06 - 161.9 > I feel very bloated today, had a couple glasses of wine last night, it's been awhile since I've drank. SO is home for a couple days. Need to stay on track
11/07 - 159.0 Got steps in, brought lunch to work for today. Tummy pains last night but better now. SO leaves on the first flight tomorrow morning, it's starting to get to him, been the longest stretch of months working away with only 3 days home

I was out of town and super busy this weekend so didn't get a chance to report earlier. I have been getting lax about logging and due to my travels cheated a bit more than normal (carbs, alcohol, treats). Still, given the issues, I am hanging in there. Surpassed my BF goal and did lose a bit (0.5 lb). Going to try to get back with the program starting tomorrow!

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.
11/7: 164.0
Just all over the scale this round, still down from beginning of the round. Had a good day, rested, ate out but well under calorie goal. Lots of water.
11/8: 163.0
Nice end to the round. Meh day at work, good day with food & exercise. Not enough water.4 -

11/7: 153.4! New low!! On higher weight days I must also remember that my weight can fluctuate as much as 1.8 pounds in a single day. Although, thinking that it could go up that much more on high-weight days might depress me! Hahahaha!

TOTAL LOSS IN 10 DAYS - 6lb4 -
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 RoundsMany 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!29/10/2017: 159.0 Goals ✅ Holding steady! And still under 160. I call that a successful Round.
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.
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!
