ROUND 22 (first round for me)
Day/Weight/Comment
11/9 - 143.4 - (missed this day starting late) this plateau weigh has held 5 days
11/10 - 142.4 - may be dehydrated, great workout yesterday!
11/11 - 142.0 - under calorie goal yesterday and ran 25 minutes. Usually I don't get 2 days of loss after a plateau breaks
11/12 - 143.2 - I do bounce around. But also: I was super emotional last night about my daughter (who is not choosing to speak to us, heartbreak) and I overate; not over calories, but ate back all my exercise calories which I know is a bad habit.
11/13 - 143.4 - rebound continues, no worries. under calories easily yesterday, ran 42 minutes. I HAVE FAITH IN THE PROCESS (repeat as necessary)
11/14 - 142.2 - yep, bounce. under calories yesterday, planned for no workout.

Thank you so much, Cyranda! This challenge has kept me going with no thoughts of quitting. I get so much out of reading everyone’s daily squibs! Thank you all for sharing. And persisting!!
I’ve done 14 of these challenges which is exactly 20 weeks. I started MFP before joining the challenges so there’s no starting whoosh represented here. I’ve been aiming at a 500-calorie per day deficit which would theoretically result in a 1-pound/week loss. From high to low in 20 weeks I’ve lost 24 pounds. I’ll take it! CICO!!
Pre-challenges starting weight = 283 BMI = 48.6

Day/Weight/Comment
11/9 252.0 -- up a touch but ate with reckless abandon yesterday and I know some of it is water by how my ring feels. Wedding ring fell off once yesterday but it won’t this morning. Ordered ring guards. Lose weight? Yes. Lose wedding ring? NO!.
11/10 253.8 -- Salty food and too much of it. The scale just gave me the dope slap.
11/11 255.8 -- Took a day off to eat with reckless abandon -- much of it salty. Resume new normal today!
11/12 255.0 -- After a couple nights of late night snacking it could be very easy to slide into an old pattern. Tonight I go to bed and read. There’s no food downstairs in the bedrooms. (Our house is “upside down.”)
11/13 255.0 -- I clearly need to set myself an arbitrary rule to prevent reckless eating late at night. Okay. Here it is. Simple really. No eating after 9 p.m.
11/14 254.4 -- There we go. Ate at a deficit. Logged everything. Back on the right path because I did not eat after 9 p.m.
11/15 No eating after 9 p.m.
11/16 No eating after 9 p.m.
11/17 No eating after 9 p.m.
11/18 No eating after 9 p.m7 -
@HeidiCooksSupper You might like the thread "SAY "NO" TO LATE NIGHT SNACKING -- NOVEMBER 2017 CHALLENGE" It helps me with accountability for evening snacking. Sorry, I don't know how to link to a post on my phone.
@brightresolve I know it was a few days ago, but I'm sorry to hear what you are going through with your daughter. Good for you for continuing to care for your health when faced with such an emotionally difficult situation.5 -

Round 21: 164.5
11/9: 162.1 Got my new bluetooth scale yesterday, so weight will probably adjust. Had a good day yesterday. Managed my portions well and went out in the cold and rain to the gym to do my C25K. Have finished the 5K part, now I am going back a few weeks and upping the speed.
11/10: 163.2 This seems a little more realistic! Yesterday's drop probably due to a weird perimenopausal TOM I was having all week? Maybe the new scale, too? I was really hungry yesterday, and very busy at work. Got my exercise and water in, but didn't track.
11/11: 163.4 Felt good yesterday. Not feeling deprived, and my body feels stronger because of the exercise. I guess if I wanted to lose faster I could severely limit certain foods, but with the holidays coming, my mind and body are not prepared for that. It's all about balance. Which is so hard to achieve sometimes!
11/12: 164.5 Had a good day cleaning, laundry, good workout, a little shopping with my daughter... but did have some wine and salt & vinegar pop chips (my weakness) and a higher calorie dinner than normal. Could barely get my rings off this morning. Back to paying closer attention to sodium and calories, so will *sigh* start tracking again today.
11/13: 164.1 Was more mindful of the sodium, but still went over by 104mg yesterday. Really going to focus these next five days.
11/14: 164.5 In a holding pattern. Dental work yesterday... but managed to get my workout in and walk the dog. Didn't quite make my steps and really did not get enough water.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/9 172.8 off to a good start. to be truthful I'm not expecting any major moves on the scale, since I had a good loss this past week. but maybe by the end of this round I can see another
11/10 172.6 I like it! tonight is bourbon and halo top night!
11/11 172.4 seems good! I'm feeling a bit dehydrated from booze and popcorn last night . Planning a quick hike down to the river with the kiddos and the dogs today, so gotta drink up the H20!
11/12 173.4 (bf: 38.8%) We had bbq takeout last night after our hike.I think I did ok food wise, I guess I could call it a maintenance day since I ate a bit too much but nothing crazy. I'm up a lb, but down a percentage point of body fat, so I know it's water. Back on plan today, hoping for a good loss by Wednesday.
11/13 173.4 well, yesterday I was not completely successful with my plan. Tightening up today.
11/14 172.8 again. my weekend weight didn't stick around nearly as long this time. I'll consider it a good sign that things are moving in the right direction.

I'm in for the third round. More realistic goal this time... I would love to get to 145lbs before Christmas, but baby steps. My goal for this challenge is 150.0 lbs. Weekends are the absolute hardest for me to even maintain my weight. Open to suggestions for that
Good luck everyone!!!

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. I 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 I'm hoping to alleviate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit. After two rounds of eating at maintenance for 2/7 days not only is my weight lower over the last two rounds, but it's been easier to eat at a deficit on the other days.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/9:--221.1. My trend is downward. Completed W4D2.
11/10:--220.6
11/11:--220.4 Maintenance day today. Going hiking today and later going out for dinner.
11/12:--221.3 Ate at maintenance yesterday. Temporary weight gain.
11/13:--222.8 Note to self, don't primarily eat sugary foods to get up to maintenance calories, your body will not be happy.
11/14:--222.2 I will take it. Had no power yesterday evening and ended up having to go out to eat an unplanned dinner which included unplanned extra calories and sodium.

I’m traveling for work for 6 days this round so I plan to be more strict on those days. I'm feeling really good about my new way of eating. The last few months I’ve been following a whole food plant based diet. Not only do I feel great, but my weight has been dropping effortlessly.

That's an encouraging start. :-) Weather is on and off, but I'm hoping to sneak in a walk today between rains.
11/10 - 147.2
Woot! I see my internal fat hoarder has finally decided to let go of some of her treasures. About time! I don't expect it to happen again for a while, but that's okay. This will keep me sticking to the plan for the next 7.2 pounds at least!
11/11 - 148.2
I thought yesterday might be a fluke. That's ok. Still moving the right direction and sticking to eating plan.
11/12 - 148.2
Heading out for a long walk - expecting rain later and the rest of the week and big winds tomorrow. Have a lovely Sunday, all!
11/13 - 149
I have no idea - has to be sodium. Bouncy bouncy.
11/14 - 148.6
This is good, since I went over by a couple hundred calories yesterday and my sodium was higher than normal. My exercise is on again, off again, because of cold rain. I need to find an indoor option, but don't want to join a gym as we're moving in a few months. Maybe jumping jacks in my bedroom!
