Planning ahead for a small splurge but mostly healthy on TG. We've taken to having sweet potatoes without the sugar & butter (and I love them neat anyway), and I limit the stuffing and make my own cranberry sauce with chopped apple in place of sugar (I'm the only one who eats it, and I like it this way). So the big splurge is pie, and I minimize how much we have. Luckily by hubby isn't a big sweet eater. (To get my pumpkin fix this time of year, I get pumpkin butter and mix a Tbsp into cottage cheese or plain yogurt - yummy!) Everything else in our main dinner is healthy. The past three years I've run a 5K on TG morning, but we're in a different place and I didn't enter a race, so, unless it's pouring rain, I'll do my own private turkey trot. :-) I plan to enjoy TG without overdosing.

11/20 - 147.8
Went out for a ginormous (though healthy) breakfast yesterday, then had an apple for lunch and a light supper, so I didn't go over my goal, but did, I'm sure, get more sodium than usual. So this is fine.

11/21 - 148.2
Aha! There's my big, probably high sodium Sunday breakfast! Ok, moving right along...

11/22 - 149.2
Uck. OTOH, I'm under 150. I may give myself a little weigh-in break the next few days so the likely small gain on TG won't make me crazy. We'll see,

11/23 - 148.6
Ok, I have a pretty healthy day planned, so I will keep weighing after all. I will have some pumpkin pie, but the sweet potatoes are sans sugar and butter, and I'm skipping the stuffing. I have been a little careless this week, so no surprise that I'm up slightly, and I won't be surprised if I don't lose anything this round. Holding steady through the holidays is fine. Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving!

11/24 - 148.5
Well, there's a surprise! I didn't exactly pig out yesterday, but I did eat more than usual. Today is very healthy leftovers + a piece of pie. And a walk - finally a day without rain!

11/25 - 148.4
The pie is gone, and the leftovers, so back on track today. Hoping to finish this round no higher than I started. :-)

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 251.8 -- One pound less than yesterday. Rather than save calories for evening snacks, I made sure to eat all my calories during the day and finished with supper. I didn’t stay up until the wee hours and I didn’t do any late night post-diary snacking!
11/20 250.2 -- Lowest yet. I will continue getting all calories eaten by the end of supper. If I don’t start to eat after supper I don’t need to figure out how to stop at a time of day (late evening) when I’m least in control of my eating.
11/21 251.0 -- The scale is toying with me.
11/22 252.8 -- Over ate with reckless abandon yesterday and this is the result. It was fun but as my mother says, “Them that plays pays.” Back to controlled eating today.
11/23 251.6 -- A nice controlled day yesterday. I must remember to weigh portions today. We’re having pot roast at hubby’s request and that can’t really be measured ahead of time. I’m going to be looking for listings like “chuck roast, braised.” Happy Thanksgiving!
11/24 252.0 -- After yesterday’s immoderation, eating-wise, this is to be expected.

11/25 251.6 -- One shouldn’t be eating “at maintenance” while still over 100 pounds overweight but that’s clearly what I’m doing with late night snacking. Must get back into the discipline of eating only what I log.

11/26 No eating after 9 p.m.!
11/27 No eating after 9 p.m.!
11/28 No eating after 9 p.m.!

hjeppley · November 2017

Weight has gone up the last couple of days. I've been eating more carbs, so my non BF weight has definitely gone up this week. Debating whether I want to go back to "normal" carb intake now that my running mileage has gotten longer and more intense. I feel like I am hungry all the time (maybe because of the increase in carbs). Lots of exercise today--ran 10K and did a long yoga class. Still pretty sore from strength workout yesterday. Did log today (did I really have that much almond butter?).

Goal this round 131.0 25.5% BF, start logging again regularly, do at least 4 strength workouts (I will count yoga toward this too!)

11/19 133.6 26.0% BF Ran 11 mi + PT
11/20 134.0 26.0% BF Water walked

11/19 150.0 I got on and off the scale 3 times to make sure this was real! I even took a picture! So excited because the last 4 days have included 2 potlucks and a buffet at Golden Corral for my husband’s birthday and lunch today with our daughter and her family.
11/20 151 This is okay. It occurred to me that I accidentally fasted from our meal on Friday until Saturday evening. I was visiting with a friend who is moving and realized when I got home that I had not eaten anything all day. I may incorporate a one day a week fast into my plan.

11/23 149.0 What a wonderful Thanksgiving with our younger daughter and her family!
11/24 149.5 Not bad at all after Thanksgiving. Didn’t stuff my self but was quite satisfied. When I thought about having some dessert in the evening I had a piece of turkey instead. This +0.5 is a normal bounce. I’m happy with it.

11/19 225.1 So sick. Eating everything! Don't even care right now. Tomorrow I will do better. Today is better than yesterday, but still struggling to control myself. I hate being sick, and slide back into bad eating habits to comfort myself.

OK day for food, not enough water. My goal for this round is 159.
11/20: 161.5
Did what I was supposed to do today. A bit anxious about a work event tomorrow.
11/21: 161.0
Saw this about a week ago. On my feet and outside most of the day today. OK day for calories, protein, etc. Probably a bit dehydrated although I drank over 2L. Kind expecting to be down tomorrow but I could be wrong.
11/22: 161.5
So, I was wrong on that one. Glad to have the day off tomorrow. We go to a relative's house for the holiday, not sure how I'll do on food. I pre-logged some stuff and I'm not planning to have wine or appetizers, but I'm going to have to say no a lot.
11/23: 160.5
Today was very bad, diet-wise. No surprise but I had kind of a plan I didn't stick to. Went way over on calories, yet didn't hit my goals for veggies or protein. Didn't have enough water. Definitely had sugar. I did get a little exercise at least. It's only one day, have to move forward. Hope those who celebrate had a nice Thanksgiving.
11/24: 162.5
Well deserved. I guess it's a victory that I got on the scale. Today I got quite a bit of exercise and ate pretty perfectly. I don't want to let the holiday derail me.

11/25: 161.0
Walked quite a bit plus did some other exercise, ate under my calorie goal.

11/19 - 158.4 ... (10,145)
11/20 - 157.6 ... So I think the loss is due to getting back on track with my steps (13,169) and mostly water weight. yippee!! I survived my first 2 get together advents of the season. Goal is to stay with the 5's
11/21 - 158.6 ... Still a 5!! (15,488 steps) Didn't pack a lunch but still ate well. Wasn't overly hungry but got in 1200+ calories. Working hard at trying to get it together so so busy and it's not 'gonna' slow down anytime soon.
11/22 - 157.6 ... (15,200 steps) Had cake, no idea how many calories it was. So shaved off some lunch items and had a light dinner. Got my walking in and forgot my salad dressing this morning.
11/23 - 157.7 ... (12,700) Just made my steps, hit cal goal and packed a lunch. Busy day at work filled with donuts, specialty coffees and STRESS... Happy Thanksgiving to all US friends, hope you enjoy the day, have a great dinner with family and friends and whatever happens just get back at it tomorrow!!!
11/24 - 157.0 ... (19,160) Pizza day at work. Do I opt out or just get a small piece? Extra STRESS today as SO is driving half way across the country (Canada) in a rig with landslides, road closures and winter/rain conditions. Need to hold my breath for 3 days!!

11/25 - 155.9 ... ‘what what’. Maybe my scale needs batteries? (17,800 Steps). Goal to hit 20,000.

archersport · November 2017

Pregnant & gaining. Goals: hydration, vitamins, balanced macros, toning exercise daily. Honour my authentic self. Starting R23 @ 4 weeks into second trimester.

R21 SW 162
R22 SW 159.5
R23 SW 164.9

11/19 I overdid it yesterday and the expected hobbling pain came and I still hustled around moving boxes and furniture. I bought a candy apple based on the memory of enjoying them, but honestly, I only really enjoyed the green apple part. So I have added a new goal to this round: honour my authentic self. I am the girl who likes the green apple & I don’t need to eat/do/act in ways that do not align with who I am.
11/20 164.9 Healthy groceries shop, lots of greens in dinner.
11/21 163.4 Was in a rush and ordered pizza, then the snowmeggedon hit and I couldn’t attend my event anyway. Ate my bagged lunch- the avocado really paid off and kept me going. Dog walk was good until I overdid it.
11/22 came home with scary low blood sugar, ate rice crispies, milk and popcorn. Then when was feeling normal went about my evening and completely forgot to eat dinner. At least I was hydrated. Moved furniture into the new closet.
11/23 164.4 dinner was cereal and a protein shake, but lunch was super healthy. Had a nice long hobble walk with the fluffy pants.
11/24 165 just yesterday I was wondering if my lack of appetite was depression starting, and today it was definitely obvious. Hormones? No sunlight? Can’t really tell this year. All food is starting to taste gross. I just want to eat apples and cottage cheese. Maybe I’ll put myself on a plain meal plan, repetitive & nutritious.
11/25 165 we found my kitty after she was missing 6 weeks. Dropped all the Reno plans to chill for the afternoon and pet the cat and it was wonderful. Made a very late-evening lentil soup, but proud to have something healthy in hand with leftovers for the next two days.

Current Weight: 102.4kg
Goal Weight: 80kg
Challenge goal weight: 101kg

So mini goals for the next 10 days:
Stay away from Coke 0 or any other pop drink
Eat all my calories everyday, too many days under
up my water another l. taking it to 4l/day

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - 102.4kg - I've had 2 high sodium meals (restaurant), so I'm trying to flush it out. Rest day today.

11/20 - 102.6kg - Of course, yesterday being Sunday, I ate for England! - well, within my maintenance allowance, but that is NOT how I'll lose the weight! Had a very restless night and woke up too early. My cat was hit by a car this morning - he died on impact, just felt so out of it today. My daughter is so heartbroken she stayed home from school. Not much of an appetite really - and I feel a horrendous migraine coming on. What a Monday

11/21 - 102.4kg - Fitful night again, need to up the exercise (and buy a new Fitbit watch because mine is worn out and has decided to work part-time).

11/22 - 102.6kg - Ate below my calories and no exercise, such no-nos! I had a meeting that went through lunchtime so I was only able to eat at 3PM. As some of you mentioned feeling fuller eating a protein-based breakfast (@SheilaBoneham & @HeidiCooksSupper I think) I took that suggestion and had a veggie cheese egg-white omelet... What a difference! Helped me stay lucid during the (boring) meeting.

11/23 - 102.4kg - Well what a number's game this is! Wonder what my weight will be tomorrow after Thanksgiving dinner... nothing crazy, but still, (carby) foods that I don't usually eat
HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone

11/24 - 102.8kg - Not too bad, considering everything! I didn't hit my water goal, had a can of Coke zero - but definitely ate all my calories

11/25 - 102.2kg - Much better! Still no appetite yesterday and no exercise and had a Coke 0 yesterday. Pandora's box has opened with the fizzy drinks it's like if I have one, I have have it everyday after that and all the bad habits come running through the cracks. ONE month until Xmas - Need to get moving

11/26 - 101.8kg - WOOHOO, finally broke the cycle! I haven't seen this number in over a year - and I had 4 McVities last night before bed, just went to town and gobbled them up before even realizing it, and didn't feel bad about it which is unusual. Then this morning TOM hit, so the cookie mystery is solved

I think my mindset has also changed from "I'm on a diet until I hit goal" to "I'm going to eat within my allotted calories and be mindful, but this is for life, so no pressure on setting a goal date" - I feel so much better about it... I'm still on a learning curve though and I still have a tendency to eat below my cal allowance.

It should be easy cruising (fingers crossed) until 93kg, my other plateau number where my body just sits for ages.

18/11 - 194.2 - R22 showed a change in my hair loss, its stopped falling out,so yay!!!! .... so now I am looking, over the next few months, to see some new hair growth (she says hopefully) , as such I am happy if I simply don't gain weight at the moment, My cals are higher (over 1650 avg per day) , although not quite as high as maintenance, (1930 according to MFP, but other sites have me around 1870) so I should still lose (all be it very slowly) but I really don't mind how slow.

CALS IN 1591 - EXERCISE - 63 min walk 10 min flex 15 mins strength

19/11 - 195 - lazy day today

CALS IN 1616 - EXERCISE - 9 mins flex

20/11 - 195.2 - ate at maintenance cals today, I felt like I was forcing food down by the end of the day!!!

CALS IN 1875 - EXERCISE - 100mins flex, 40 mins strength 8 mins cardio

21/11 - 193.2 - I tried to eat at maintenance today again but I felt so full and bloated that I couldn't

CALS IN 1869 - EXERCISE - 60 mins (20 miles) bike, 9 min walk, 10 min cardio, 12 min flex, 20 min strength

23/11 - 192.6 - << NEW LOW (thats twice now, eat more food and drop weight, there is something seriously wrong with this picture!! To top it off TOM is on the way and I am normally gaining at this time!!

CALS IN 1878 - EXERCISE - 20 min walk 60 min (20 mile) bike 9 min stretch 13 min strength

24/11 - 192.4 << another new low after a day of eating maintenance, maybe my body really just wanted food .. I am totally confused here ... but I'll be dropping the calories to around the 1600 mark for the next few days again in the hopes of staying here

had a drink tonight and drank way more than planned. oops

CALS IN 1863 - EXERCISE - 33 min walk

25/11 - 192.6 - just some xmas shopping today, and a little drink at night

R22 SW- 148.94

Current weight- 148.94 (no loss last round)
10 Day Goal: Same as last 2 round. 148.3 This will make me 15 lbs. down since the start of my weight loss. Also hoping to up my activity this week to counteract the Thanksgiving meal we are planning on having with friends this weekend.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - 149.16 This should be normal fluctuation since I have been sticking with the plan. Went to the pub for a drink last night, but we walk there and back which is about .5 mile. The cold and early darkness is making it difficult to get my walks in, but I am determined to keep at it as long as I'm able.
11/20 - 148.28 I hope I don't bounce up and down all round again.
11/21 - 148.28 Was surprised to see this number again today. I've been getting really munchie late at night but resisting the urge to eat more. I might try moving dinner an hour later and see if it helps.
11/22 - 148.06 Had pizza as a treat for dinner. It was well within my calories so I should be ok.
11/23 - 148.94 My sciatica has flared up. Trying to do light stretches to easy some of the pain.
11/24 - 147.84 We are celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, and I think I am going to give myself a day off monitoring every little bite and just enjoy my meal. I don't plan to go wild, but I will be enjoying a slice of pecan pie.
11/25 - ??? No idea where my post for this day went.
11/26 - 148.72 (after breakfast) Thanksgiving meal was nice, but Costco does not know how to make a pecan pie. It was the one thing I was actually looking forward to and it was awful. (perhaps a good thing) Ate only 2 bites and tossed it. Back to calories counting again today.

11/19: 293 this oatmeal and banana breakfast sucks!
11/20: 291.8: ate reasonable and got in 30 minutes on the indoor bike. Peeps starting to show up for Thanksgiving so the next several days are gonna be tough.
11/21: 289.2: great day up till dinner. Too much company so fast food for supper. Two pieces of Popeyes chicken and green beans. Portion size was way down for me so it must have worked.
11/22: 288.4: starting the day with oatmeal with bananas - yuk!
11/23: 288.4: steak nite last nite so just glad I didn’t gain. Didn’t get around to posting till 7:15 pm so hope I can stay away from the Derby Pie, Italian Cream Cake, Otster Dressing - it’s a minefield here!
11/24: 289:
11/25:
11/26: 292.2: Thanksgiving leftovers and visitors catching up to me. I guess I’ll consider it a win if I lose anything at all over the 10 day stretch. At least the Italian Cream Cake is gone!

11/21 57,2 kg (126.1) had lunch with a friend yesterday at the restaurant, so couldn’t eat my food at home plus, bloated cause in those days! Will be good today!
11/22 57,00 (125,6) I’ve been really good yesterday, but I’ll be bloated for days....women problems :P
11/23 56,00 (123,4) didn’t expect this drop, I know I will get it back, ups and downs but let’s see!
11/24 55,7 (122,7) I’m impressed I have to admit. Having a dinner tonight so this won’t last that much! But hey I’m happy with it!
11/25 56,4 (124,3) My amazing man took me out for dinner last night in a Michelin 2 starts restaurant and we had an amazing night eating amazing food and dessert!!! Can’t be more happy! That was my cheat mean in 10 days, back on track already!

11/19= 223.8 lbs- Well, too bad this wasn't yesterday. I could have had a loss for the last round. Pretty happy to see this drop though! Now...to keep this number through Thanksgiving...that's my goal. Losing would be great, but I'll be happy to stay right here for the next 10 days as long as I don't gain.
11/20= 225.3- I didn't stay where I wanted but I'm still less than R22 EW.
11/21= Forgot to weigh before I ate breakfast, so I just didn't weigh in.
11/22= 225.3- Still holding; really hope I don't go up too much because of Thanksgiving dinner and leftovers. I'm planning to have seriously moderate portions, skip the rolls, and only one small slice of pie for dessert. Leftovers will be only for meals, not random eating anytime, and will not be an entire plateful.

11/23=224.1- Glad to have this drop today. Haven't eaten breakfast. Hoping to hold out til the big lunch at 2:00, but we'll see. That might make me too hungry to resist eating too much. Will check in tomorrow to update.
11/24=223.7- This is a great number. Did well yesterday and didn't overeat. Leftovers still for a couple of days though, so I have to keep in control of those portions.
11/25=225.8- Well, I knew last night that this number was coming. I'm drinking tons of water today to flush out the sodium. I added up my numbers for Thursday and Friday- total calories I went over is 1585, which isn't terrible for two days. Total sodium, however, was more than 5000 over. Hopefully, that's what the weight is from and drinking water will help it drop back down.
11/26= 224.8- Glad to see a drop. New week starts today. All leftovers are gone, except ham and turkey, which are both pretty low calorie, even if ham is high sodium. Happy to get back on track.

11/19 258.2 I have been stuck for awhile give or take a couple of pounds. Time to get the needle headed in the right direction again. The holidays are a concern because I typically put on about 10 from Thanksgiving to New years and I can't afford to do that anymore. My goal this year is to actually lose 5 during that span, now thats gonna be a challenge. Have a great round everyone.

11/20 257.1 yay getting ready for Thursday gotta get a couple off because I will gain them back on Turkey day.

11/21 256.8 Prepping for the Thursday feeding, 11000 steps helped a bunch.
11/22 256.8 Holding steady prepping for the Thursday feast; chicken enchiladas, spanish rice, homemade guac and chips, pumpkin pie, hows that for non-traditional haha.
11/23 256.8
11/24 258.6 Wow, to many carbs, to much sugar, I must say as I get older (53) i really can't do the heavy eating anymore like when I was younger which I'm sure is to my benefit. So, now I ask myself if this is true then why do I do it. yes why indeed. Time to get those 2 pounds off and eat like a grown up.
11/25 259.0 If I get on that scale and see 260 again I will so freak out.
11/26 259.0 Goal is to watch the carbs close and finish up strong with 3 days to go. 8000-10000 steps per day is a must so I will be out enjoying this great weather later today.
