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.

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.13 -
I checked my BMI and it told me I am too short

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

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.

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!

First time doing this, need to look good for my wedding next year!
This challenge helps me stay focus!!!
11/19 57,2 kg (126.1)
11/20 56,7 kg (125.0)
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!
11/26 56,2 (123,8) thought better to be honest, yesterday I’ve been too good, under my calories even but probably I still have to burn thy huge dinner of the other day!

Day/Weight/Comment
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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.

11/21 - 149.4 - not too bad considering TOM came calling yesterday...
11/22 - 149.8 - I'd hoped to lose a bit to get a cushion between the 140's and Thanksgiving but...alas, it is not to be thanks to TOM. Oh well...not gonna let it rain on my punkin pie.
11/23 - 148.8 - there's my cushion...a little motivation to control myself somewhat today so it doesn't completely evaporate.
11/24 - 148.8 - Went over calories of course because the there was pie in the room, but did the elliptical before dinner, took a walk after dinner, and drank at least a gallon of water.
11/25 - 148.8 - under calories, but no exercise
11/26 - 148.4 - Not nearly as much movement as I wanted this round but a loss is a loss is a loss...it's all good.

11/23 - 185.4.....?
11/24 - 184.6....OK, seem to be back on track. I had Chinese food on Tues (21st) and the sodium caught up to
me, the last couple days. Lots of water to flush it out! Wow that was scary!!!

11/19 - 241.0 - Yesterday wasn't a great exercise day, but today will be better.
11/20 - 242.6 - I have been totally out of control this past week. Really trying to get my stuff together and get back on track this week. Thanksgiving will make it tricky, but I've decided I need something to work toward, so I'm researching 5k races. Tomorrow WILL be better.
11/21 - 239.4 - Back on track! And that marks 30 pounds since 9/12/17! TOM may mess things up, but I'm going to have another good day today!!
11/22 - 239.2 - Was hoping for more loss, but I'll take it!
11/23 - 239.4 - Hoping I can try to stay on track today!
11/24 - 242.0 - Ugh, Thanksgiving. The next few days are going to get worse before they get better
11/25 - 244.2 - Told myself I wasn't going to worry about food or exercise this weekend. I'm going to regret it come Monday...
11/26 - 244.4 - Today I am getting back to it. I really feel terrible eating like I have the past few days. Something I didn't realize was how I used to feel like this all the time. Now that I don't anymore, feeling like this again is a good reminderof why I'm making these changes.

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds but haven't lost in a couple of months. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years. It's been verrry slow the last couple months.

Hi Everyone! I'm back a day late. We were at a Hockey tournament a few hours away from Fri-Sun so I didn't have a scale.
SW- 182.4 in March 2017
GW - Was 145...beat this several weeks ago...so now I'm trying to work out how to balance calories and activity to maintain right around where I am. I seem to have lost a few more lbs though...was down into the 141's at one point last week.
11/17 - 143.6 - last weigh in before we went away for the weekend
Round 23
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - no scale
11/20 - 143.0 - amazing considering how much we had to eat on the fly over the past few days in between the 9 games both teams had to be at. I tried to make the best choices I could, apparently I did ok with what I ate and burned more than expected being a crazy cheering hockey mom.
11/21 - 143.6 - TOM arrived early in full force yesterday...peri-menopause is crazy, makes thing so unpredictable. A bit bloaty...but not too bad.
11/22 - 143.4 - not bad considering how hard it was not to finish that package of Hot Cocoa Oreos last night...limited myself to 3...that's a TOM victory!!
11/23 - 144.0 - the oreos won yesterday...but not the whole package...about 6 of them jumped into my mouth. Also fighting off a sinus thing that I'm determined isn't going to bring me down...
11/24 - 142.6 - lots of steps and stairs working in the showroom yesterday...I need to remember to take an extra snack with me to work now that I'm trying to stay where I'm at.
11/25 - 142.4 - I did not eat enough yesterday...we took the boys to the movies and I saved some calories for popcorn...but then ended up not enjoying it as much as I though I would and I hardly ate any. My tastes sure have changed!
11/26 -140.6 - ?????????? - Had a very busy and active Saturday. Tried a new work out and my glutes and hammy's are screaming this morning. I didn't drink enough water and clearly didn't eat enough...I may be a bit dehydrated...I expect this weight will bounce up again tomorrow if I re-hydrate and take it easy today.

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.
That is it exactly! It isn't a temporary way of eating, it's learning how to eat period. Realizing that is a winning strategy I feel. I haven't lost much the last couple of months but that doesn't matter as much as it would have once as I know I'm eating healthy and not gaining. Eventually the last 10 will come off too. Plus, I have become devoted to exercising.

1/26: 224 I have went without beef this whole round until dinner yesterday (small cheeseburger patty) because my Doc advised me that my system may be having a hard time processing it. I have noticed a big difference and after I use the last pack in the freezer for spaghetti today, I will be drastically limiting it from my diet from now on.

I am back for Round 23. I've been logging my calories every single day, but it hasn't been easy. I'd forget until the last minute. I'd do it though, and I never missed a day. Both of my sons' had really messed up birthdays this last round. My oldest turned 14 and my youngest turned 9. For 2 weeks we were at the hospital with Mom, and the day after our sons' made it through their birthdays (which are 4 days apart), Mom passed away. We've been in Missouri laying her to rest. It has been incredibly hard, and it is going to take some time to get back into the swing of things. Cancer is an ugly beast. I don't want her in pain or suffering anymore, but how I miss her so very much. We spoke every single day. Sometimes it was about her grandchildren, about her health, about the weather, what we were making for dinner, or what we did that day. I'm going to miss those talks most of all. Everyone keeps saying I will get adjusted to the new normal, but I'm not liking it at all right now.
I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks @quiltingjaine for sending a message to check up on me. You knew what had happened without me saying a single word. You just noticed my absence. I appreciate that you reached out with your support and condolences. It means so much. You're the reason why I'm back this morning...doing these challenges again.
Round 23 SW: 166.8
GW: 166
UGW: 125
11/19 166.8 After a week on the road and living in a hotel to lay Mom to rest.
11/20 167.6 Housework all day
11/21 167.6 Back to work for the first time since Mom's been gone. It was a really hard day for me, and I just wanted to come back home.
11/22 166.8 Going ahead with Thanksgiving preparations for Mom's side. I don't really feel like celebrating, but I need to do this for her.
11/23 166.6 I am struggling today and feel sick to boot.
11/24 166.6 Miss Mom a lot this Thanksgiving. Spent 2 days cooking for my husband and his brother, so they could still have a family get together with a lot of Mom's recipes, AND my BIL never showed. He decided he wanted to invite strangers into our home without discussing it first with my husband. My husband wasn't appreciative when he found out, so he refused to come. So much food in my fridge now and such an upset hubby.
11/25 167.4 Baked 2 pies today for my side of the family's Thanksgiving. So many new faces this year and people flying in from out of state. I enjoyed visiting with everyone, but it seemed so surreal.
11/26 165.4 Have all but 6 thank you notes done for those that sent flowers or gave donations in Mom's memory. I ended up having a horrid migraine, and I still do have it. I've been in and out of sleep since about 3:30 yesterday afternoon. It's been awhile since I've had one of those.

11/19 162
11/20 - 161.2
11/22 - 160lbs. close to getting under 160. would be nice
11/23 - 161.4 - up a bit which was disappointing because I was so close to getting under 160. Walked 3 miles today so maybe that will help with Thanksgiving. Thought I would focus on turkey, gravy, beans, dressing and a dessert the size of my fist. Should help.
11/24 - 162.4lbs. Again, not surprising. Stuck to my plan yesterday so that helped control the damage. Now to get back on track.
11/25 - 161.2 back weight I was a few days ago. directionally correct.
11/26 - 160.8 down again

11/19 216.8 - major binge Friday night and didn't track on Saturday. Not surprised
11/20 215.6 - coming back down. Really focused on keeping it together this week. Not sure if I'll make my goal this round at this rate. We shall see.
11/21 213.6 - Getting better. I hope it keeps going.
11/22 211.4 - Alright! Now let's see if I can stay down over the holiday weekend.
11/23 211.6 - Not to bad
11/24 213.4 - I'm OK with this given I was stuffed after Thanksgiving dinner. Morning average is still going down, so it is fine.
11/25 212.4 - Equal with my morning average now. Not a lot of hope for the rest of this weekend. Today we are going to my mom's and tomorrow is DucksGrilling (the tradition we started since we only have our girls for Thanksgiving every other year - they love it!)
11/26 212.4 - Holding steady. I'm amazed I haven't gained a ton over this holiday weekend...

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 173.4 Went out last night with the hubs and decided to get dessert after. Wound up eating above maintenance and the scale shows it.
11/20 173.4 Went for my second day of maintenance calories yesterday to help out the hormone levels. Back on my deficit today, and all week until a cheat meal on Thursday!
11/21 172.4 the weekend weight is all gone. I ate 3 oreos yesterday but was still within 5 calories of my goal, lol. hoping to see a bit of a drop tomorrow~
11/22 172.8 sigh. I have been eating a bit more than usual but nothing crazy. body fat was down on the scale which sometimes means I'm holding water. guess we shall see tomorrow
11/23 174.4 Wha? this was a weird weigh in.
11/24 175.6 not so bad considering the trend. I ate what I wanted, but no where near as much as I would have before. Plus I really on had the one meal, as I was cooking in the morning and driving in the evening. looking for a drop tomorrow- drinking all the water today!
11/25 175.2 darn how can there be only 3 more days left? Trying not to be discouraged by the number on the scale. My pants still fit great, and no one else can see it except me. Needs to be the motivation to stay the course and keep things rolling downward. This will be my first round where my average weight is higher than the last unless this trend changes quickly.
11/26 175.0 blah! went out with the girls last night. drank a bit too much and had some salty snacks. Plan for today: write it then bite it, drink 100 oz of water.

I have 2 thanksgiving meals to go to this round and my cousin's wedding, so my goal is to maintain the same average weight this round as last round.
11/19: 119.8- This is a jump up of a lb from yesterday, but I'm really feeling my strength workout from yesterday so I think that is contributing a bit to the increase.
11/20: 120.4- Eating wasn't great yesterday as I bought my nemesis, tortilla chips, at the store.
11/21: 119.4- Not excited to see the scale tomorrow I had movie theater popcorn for the first time in 6 months. And it wasn't even as good as I remembered!!
11/22: 119.8- Well it went up but it could have been worse. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I'm looking forward to the turkey and mashed potatoes.
11/23: 119.8- Mashed potatoes yum
11/24: 119.4- I had a wonderful Thanksgiving #1 with my family. I ate all my favorites but logged it and tried to not stuff myself. I'm off to Thanksgiving #2 with the in laws today. They have deep fried turkey.
11/25: Away from scale. Went to cousin's wedding. I've driven a total of 16 hours over the last 3 days.
11/26: 119.2- Not bad at all but I know that I am dehydrated from all the driving that I've been doing. I will be drinking a lot of water today, especially because I have a nasty cold.

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.
11/26 251.2 -- It’s hard to see this is the 7th day of the challenge and I am only now feeling the commitment in my brain necessary to stick to controlling my calorie intake. No eating after 9 p.m.!
11/27 No eating after 9 p.m.!
11/28 No eating after 9 p.m.!
