Round 25 Goal: Low 106s - Annual Goal is 105.
12/9 106.9
12/10 106.7 Over my calorie goal but finally exercised. I do best NOT adding calories to intake when exercising.
12/11 106.9 Made time for a little jump rope yesterday. Beautiful Weekend!
12/12 106.6 Nice but I know I over ate yesterday. So . . . hopefully I can make today a little better than yesterday.
12/13 106.5 My favorite radio station - 106.5 the end !!!! Not my end but happy to be here (again).
12/14 106.8 Over Calories - again. Will make a good plan for today.
12/15 107 Nailed the Calories so this number is not reflective of my yesterday. Only 3 more days!

Enough. I'm off this afternoon to check out a gym - no more weather excuses for lack of exercise. And I've been lax about my eating, so seriously getting back on track and hitting the macros hard - 30P/30F/40C. We will be moving across the country in late February, and I want 10 pounds less of me by then. That's 10 weeks from now, so a pound a week, so 1.4 per 10-day round (assuming they'll be continuing in 2018, I hope?!?) I'm down a little from R15, but really, pretty stable over many weeks, so my metabolism is fine and this should be doable if I stick to the plan.
12/10 - 149
Back on track yesterday. Nothing showing on the scale, but I feel lighter, if that makes any sense.
12/11 - 149
Oh, for heaven's sake. It's like fat has superglue.
12/12 - 149.2
OK, now I'm really getting frustrated. The only thing different yesterday was that I was a bit heavier than usual on carbs (whole grain). I have been lower fat, higher protein & carbs than usual the past few days. I wonder whether that could make the difference? So disappointing!
12/13 - 148.8
Finally. Now to continue....
12/14 - 148.8
Sooooo sloooowwwww. Sigh.
12/15 - 149
I had a bit of a splurge last night, so ok. I've revised my goals based on reality rather than wishes.

12/09- 145 I felt the difference this morning when I woke up. My stomach shrank a bit...Yay!!!
12/10-144
12/11-144 looking so forward to losing my pouch
12/12-145 must be that I gained muscle, because I have stuck to diet and exercise...including lifting weights
12/13-145 hanging in there....still doing my 30 day Shred, sticking to my low carb diet and decreasing alcohol.
12/14-145 hopefully I will see a 144 or 143 soon. Patience is a virtue.
12/15-146 oh dear, I did everything right and didn't even have any wine. I did the 30 day Shred later in the afternoon...The only things I did different is drink more diet soda, no alcohol, and woke up at 2 this morning. I am discouraged because I actually felt slimmer this morning...oh well, I will keep on keeping on and have my focus and faith. I will stay determined and end the day knowing I did my best.
12/15 145 at 7:30 am....after yogurt and coffee. I guess I lost a lb in a few hours. I too the first weight at 3:30 am.

12/15 188.0 Great, but there is a bit of a problem. When I tracked on my own, I'd go Friday-Friday. The way this cycle works out this time, I'm aiming for a good weight on Monday and weekends can be trouble. Before I'd be able to indulge on the weekends then spend all week struggling to get down to where I was the previous Friday. Oh well, just have to chose wisely which temptations I give into over the next few days!

thiswillhappen wrote: »12/15 171.8 - well that's cool! I think over the next 4 days including today I can definitely make it into the high 169 range at this rate. Yesterday I ate really well and went to the gym to do a treadmill/elliptical combo. I ate a snack after work, worked out, then had a late dinner, which might be a good combo for me, as I don't get hungry before bed. This seems crazy but maybe I eat dinner too early, which leads me to snack/binge at night?! This weekend's going to be a bit of a gong show with events, I have 2 holiday parties tonight with open bars, then 1 event tomorrow night, then 2 events on Sunday, one of which is a Christmas cookie swap . My goal during all this is moderation - just because there is an open bar or hundreds of cookies doesn't mean I need to eat all the cookies or drink all the drinks. Weekend motto: "one or two will do!"3

12/10: 159.4 Ordered the oatmeal with bananas and walnuts. Was craving my SIL's beef stroganoff recipe last night, so made it with low sodium broth and the no yolks pasta... delicious! Three holiday get togethers today. Must stay disciplined.
12/11: 159.3 Gym has been closed for renovations since the 7th. Back open on Wednesday. I miss my running!
12/12: 158.9 Hubs texted me last night... gym WAS open! I am finished with the C25K and moving on to 10K. Did 4 miles last night. Helped me with my work stress. Company party was this afternoon. A little too much wine, but limited myself to one plate of food.
12/13: 158.8
12/14: 159 couldn't complete my run last night... just did not have the energy. Today I have been hungry. Ate out at lunch, and nibbled on sugary holiday treats from vendors at work. I am trying to get up the energy to work out now, but am cozy by the Christmas tree...
12/15: 158.8 Thankful for the elliptical in the garage last night. Did 30 minutes and then took the dog out for a walk... it was freezing! I feel like a cold is coming on today, so drinking the water and emergen-c.

Last time I said "I am ready to just walk away from the last two rounds!" I guess I kind of did. I last posted on Dec 1 in JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ROUND 24. I barely kept up with my two "schools" on MFP and have not really posted anywhere else. I guess I have been in a bit of a funk.
Pros: Kept up weighing in every day; being mindful; mostly keeping up exercise minutes
Cons: Not keeping up with anything else; What I am mindful of is the chocolate going down
Since the solar eclipse**, life has just been topsy turvy. I am ready for it to slow down. I'm keeping this as my happy thought for this round:The road to success is always under construction.

I weigh twice each morning just to see the fluctuations. My latter weight is always the lowest because I've had coffee, been to the restroom two or three times and everything is clear .3 -

Start 10/18/2017 = 147.9 * Goal = 130.0 and 20 miles/weekR22 * Start = 143.4 * Ave = 141.9 * Min = 140.2 * End = 141.2R25 * Start = 136.6 * GOAL: 135.0 by 12/25 - so for the end of this round, 136.0 as a high weight.
R23 * Start = 142.0 * Ave = 140.1 * Min = 139.4 * End = 139.6
R24 * Start = 140.0 * Ave = 138.6 * Min = 137.0 * End = 137.0
12/9 - 136.6 - Yesterday well under calories, 29 minute run.
12/10 - 136.2 - Yesterday under maintenance calories but not under daily goal, no workout, to bed at 7PM. Felt depleted and borderline sick. Drinking extra water today and feel much better, planning on a run.
12/11 - 137.0 - expected this bounceback. Ran 5.5 miles yesterday, under calories for goal but ate well.
Having this "135 by 12/25" goal led to me being too far under calories Thursday and Friday, and totally bonking out on Saturday. Counterproductive! I am all about the system, not the goal, and I have to return to that system and "let" the goal happen, instead of trying to "make" it happen.
12/12 - 138.2 and deserved. Gross headache all yesterday, came home sick, ate for "comfort" and kinda, yeah, couldn't summon the "give a *kitten*" to stop. I did go to the gym and walk gingerly on the treadmill for 3.5 miles. But still over maintenance by a bit.
12/13 - 137.4 - ate right at calories for slow loss yesterday, no workout (planned due to schedule). Feeling better but still a little knocked-down. Looking forward to a nice workout today for stress relief.
12/14 - 137.4 - ate under calorie goal yesterday and got a kick *kitten* workout. Still pretty anxious and stressed though so let's do that again.
12/15 - 137.2 - ate about 50 calories over goal yesterday and no workout.

12/11 - 151 lb. Drank a lot of tea yesterday, and had a good bit of salt probably. Going out for a walk today.
12/12 - 150 lb. Gotta get back into drinking more water. I drank a lot after surgery then took a break lol.

12/12- 144.98 Continuing with my routine of tracking everything that goes into my mouth
12/13- 144.98 Went over on my calories today. I've been out of the house and didn't make great choices. (fish and chips) Now I'm home my stomach is growling... Tomorrow is a new day.
12/14- 144.76 Well this is a surprise. I collapsed last night before grabbing more to eat.
12/15- 145.42 Think this is probably normal fluctuation Made sure I had dinner before going out Christmas shopping tonight so I would have no excuse to snack while I was out.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 224.8 - NSV - finishing the Fitbit Valley Loops Trail solo challenge
12/10 - 224.1 - NSV - I didn't eat the cookies and chips I was craving all day.
12/11 - 223 - NSV - not eating all the food! Guys I'm in this phase where I want to eat everything!!! I am not, despite being surrounded by Chistmas baking, bit the struggle is really real! This will end soon, these come round ever so often, but I am almost having dreams of pizza, it's hilariously sad. Staying strong to give in reasonably on Thursday date night which cannot come soon enough.
12/12 - 222.3 - NSV - I've decided to commit to walking to and from my subway stop this winter. I usually do walk but would take the bus once the snow came. It's 4,000 steps both ways so this year I'm going to tough it out and get my steps in. Last night we got our first real snowfall of the winter and today I did walk, despite the -10 Celcius temperatures and unplowed sidewalks. It's going to be a long winter but I can do it! Brrrrrrr
12/13 - 221.6 - today is a scale victory day: 30 lbs. down!
12/14 - 221 - late entry cause movie date night where I ate all the sushi then saw Star Wars the sale will likely suck tomorrow but it was completely worth it!
12/15 - 220.6 - considering all the sushi I ate last night I am honestly shocked I didn't gain. Today was my work Christmas party so 3 beers and appetizers makes me think I won't be so lucky. I still made me steps today so this is what I'm celebrating.

12/11: 162
Deserved, yesterday was bad. TOM is a full week late, definitely NOT pg, guess it's aging. Didn't do great on nutrition today but no added sugar and overall low on calories.
12/12: 160.5
My progress for the last month looks like an EKG, bouncing between 160, 161, 162. Did OK today on calories & exercise. Had curry at a Thai restaurant, not sure if it was high in sodium so I don't know what to expect tomorrow.
12/13: 163.5
Yes, sodium. Tonight I went to dinner at someone's house, didn't log it all.
12/14: 163.5
Owning it.

I'm just hoping not to end the round on a gain. Had a root canal (2 actually) yesterday, finally TOM and I really want comfort goodies but I haven't been too bad.3 -

12/10 205 I didn’t have enough water yesterday. A lot of tea but I guess it’s not the same. Oh well, I’ll make up for it today
12/11 204.4 YAY going back down I was worried bc I had a cheeseburger yesterday but I worked out to make up for it.
12/12 203.4 but I’m skeptical bc I barely ate yesterday so it might be temporary... I won’t get too excited. Either way it I’m close to getting of the 2’s!!! [/quote]
12/13 202.6 wooooo hooooo I’m still heading down!!!! I’m excited [/quote]
12/14 202!!!!! Wooo hooooo I hit my goal for this round!!!! Yeeeesssss!!!! I could almost taste the 200! [/quote]
12/15 203 ok so I went up, I’m not going to let it brake me... I’ll keep going but I’m wondering what did it. Either going out to eat, even though I stayed within my calories or ??? Btw, spot

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 100 - would it really be too much to ask for a little less this morning? I truly didn't want to see this number. I went over my steps yesterday but didn't have time to eat enough. I even ate right before bed to get some extra calories in... but once Fitbit had calculated my steps, I was still very much lacking calorie-wise. OK went back in edit mode - I lost 400 grams (almost a pound), so I'll shut it!
12/10 - 100.8 - ok 800g overnight (1.6lbs) - day entailed too many carbs, drank my water, hit my calories though! With Italian dinner, birthday cake, etc. The problem being today is just the same with another birthday to celebrate. Oh well that’s life I guess... I have a week to compensate. I’ll end with a very positive note though, as I’m am officially overweight
12/11 - 102.6 - I hyperventilated seeing this number (5.7lbs in 2 days), but as there is NO way I ate that much, I'll say it's the sodium, water retention etc. I have a week to redress the situation!
12/12 - 101.8 - I always wonder how long it takes to reset the water retention balance... obviously it's not overnight, but what 2? 3 days? It's definitely something to take into account when you don't weigh in daily!
12/13 - 101.2 - i didn't succumb to the gingerbread cookies, but woke up (very early) so hungry! that rarely happens to me
12/14 - 100.4 - All I can say is that I do not understand my body! Yesterday I woke up hungry at 4 a.m. and my day was just one complete food fest. I ate my planned calories, I ate my added Fitbit calories, I ate so many gingerbread cookies I feel I made up for the day before's efforts... I ate chickpea chips (100g) full-on fat and carbs and chocolate. I drank about 6l of water throughout the day and I lost over a pound?
There are some days I'm so good and I feel I don't deserve the (STS or gain) numbers on the scale - but today I was afraid of stepping on the scale and it did not reflect yesterday, I also feel I don't deserve these (positive) numbers
12/15 - 99.8 - and this right before the weekend! Note to self - keep out of the cookie jar!
12/16 - 100 - And a bounce back up... Not enough sleep, way too much sodium, pizza involved -it's OK as long as I tread carefully this weekend and THAT my friends is not a given!

08/12 - 192 - R24 - The round that I ran out of anti inflammatory pills and my pain came back on like a train, also the round I found out my doctor wasn't really going to help me out, I have more pills now and I think slowly but surely they are starting to work again ... I have around 4 -6 weeks to wait to see a physio and around 35 weeks till I get to see a spinal specialist ... yay for long waits while in pain!
09/12 - 192.6 - had a little relief from my pain, so I done some xmas cleaning (something I am having real difficulty with at the moment, bending and stretching is the worst) after 1 hour I was laid up for the rest of the night in agony, had to sit in an upright position for any relief. looks like my house won't be clean for Santa!
10/12 - 192.4 - went out for a walk today at the xmas German market in town, still walking slowly but I get there in the end!
11/12 - 192.6 - 5 miles on the stat bike and calories higher than I intended -- i can still easily pull them back by average thou.
12/12 - 192.6 - lots of strength exercises today with some flex and cardio .. 2 1/2 hours total, im still in pain. so everything is modified ... the pain got worse later on at night ( due to pushing myself, i guess) so i went to bed and read a book ... and fell asleep early
13/12 - 192.6 - holding steady!
14/12 - 192.4 - holding steady!!

We weigh ourselves daily, and we post our weight here to help hold us accountable. I have found that it works for me. We can post a goal if we have one, and we can discuss our day and what we've done to lose or not lose any weight. We even talk about some personal parts of our lives together if we feel like it. I'm glad you joined.3 -
I'm back, and I can hear Mom in my head telling me that she knows how hard it is to lose weight and not to lose too much because being healthy is important too. She was always a worrier. I'm going to keep at it for her. She'd want me to.
SW: 202lbs
UGW: 125 lbs
GW: 163.6 - 164
12/09 164.6 *fingers crossed that I stay at the lower end of the 60s* Had my niece and nephew over to spend the night, and I started working on progress reports. I didn't get as much fluids in, and I can tell. I feel like my mouth is dry this morning.
12/10 164.4 My sister-in-law and I took our 4 kiddos out for breakfast with Santa. Then, we went with my parents to dinner, to see Winterland (1 million Christmas lights display), and finally the tree at Monument Circle. They had hot cocoa (I refrained), and we joined a street performer for some Christmas carols. Thought of Mom and how she would have liked to join us. She's in my thoughts daily.
12/11 164.4 I love to bake over Christmas. Don't most of us? So, I started my treats last night. Sugar free, Pineapple Whip. I went for a healthy option.
12/12 165.4? I have absolutely no clue. Maybe due to the amount of steps I took. I drank a lot of fluids, and I ate under calorie which I haven't been doing.
12/13 164.4 Back to where I was. Whew! Lol I spent the day running errands AFTER I left work and came home to find a surprise here at the house. It was the lighthouse ornament we ordered. Mom loved lighthouses, so we bought the Hallmark 2017 one in her honor as a way to remember her on our first Christmas without her.
12/14 164.2 I stayed late lasy night at work. All of us teachers were making caramels for a cookie tray. Then, I went to my son's band concert. He plays tenor sax, and he had a part all by himself. He did beautifully.
12/15 164.4 A foundation and crawlspace repair company is at our house today and was yesterday. My husband and I also took our oldest son on a walkthrough of a different school district. There's a HUGE problem with the school he is currently in with bullying, and we have been considering our options.
12/16 163.6 I don't know what to say really, but YIPPEE! I hope it sticks, and it was nice to see this number. NEW LOW...REACHED GOAL!

Historical SW: 193
Recent SW: 187.6
R25 SW: 181.8
Goal for this round: break into the 170's (including the Christmas madness that is about to ensue)
12/09: 181.8
12/10: 180.8 Ate out two meals yesterday and still managed to stay under calories. 14K steps helped!
12/11: 180.0 Had to make myself go from 7500 steps to 11K in the cold, after dark, but I did it!
12/12: 180.6 I was hungry all day yesterday, so I ate some of my exercise calories and drank lots of water which is something I may need to start doing. 10K steps
12/13: 180.4 Need to MAKE time for working out but it’s such a busy time! Wasn’t hungry at all today, so I don’t know why I felt like I was starving yesterday. Hoping for the gym tonight. Buying new clothes is fun though! :-)
12/14: 179.0 WooHoo!!! Had a great day yesterday, even experimented with a Christmas recipe using turkey meatballs instead of beef. Went to the gym and got in 14K steps. Success!
12/15: 178.6 Party tonight so I’m up early and headed to the gym this morning.
12/16: 182.2 Well, I knew it would be bad after the party. Too much Prosecco punch in addition to all the foods that I haven’t eaten in forever. Going to work hard today and tomorrow to see how much I can get back off by Monday. Can I get BACK into 170's by then? I don't know, but I can try! Fingers crossed!

MFP start weight - 223
53 years old. 5'8"
We have a family Christmas dinner on the 17th and I have not seen some folks for a year. Good motivation to keep going. I'd like to lose a couple of more pounds prior to then.
12/8 - Round 24 EW 166.2
Round 25 goal 164
12/9 - 165.2 - What a nice start to this round.
12/10 - 166.2 - Oh boy......no workout, no water and dang that homemade apple cobbler I made sure was good.
12/11 - 167.8 - Good grief, this is not going very well!. It's all on me though. Another day of no workout, no water and basically just laying around being a bum. It's not something I do often but sometimes I just need the down time. Leaving in a few minutes to run, lift and stair master. I have a day full of errands, projects and farm work this afternoon. Tomorrows weigh in will be much better!
12/12 - 166.4 - Yes!!! Going in the right direction now. Gym, water repeat.
12/13 - 167.0 - Well fire.
12/14 - 167.2 - Perhaps those two glasses of wine weren't such a good idea. Off to the gym to correct the error of my ways.
12/15 - 166.0 - This is one happy lady right here. Now to stay focused to meet my goal.
12/16 - 164.0 - WooHoo!!!! At my goal weight for this round, now just to hang on. Push the water and be mindful of my calories today. I don't normally exercise on the weekends, but I may try to get a run in later.

12/10 171 yay! I can’t believe after a day of 2 parties I have lost weight haha! Whether it’s real weight or water weight, keeps me motivated to make healthy choices today. First stop brunch! Will try to order a salad. UPDATE: I ordered a patty melt with fries instead. Oops!!
12/11 - 175.1 .... wtf?! Not the best way to start a Monday but I won't get discouraged. It's all about long term trends! And I have healthy meals planned out for myself today so if I follow that I have faith that tomorrow will be better.
12/12 - 173.1 - ok it's going back down. This daily weighing exercise is just showing me how much my weight fluctuates from day to day, and it's ok! All about the overall consistent downward trend and making healthy choices on a daily basis that will be reflected on the scale days/weeks/even months from now. Yesterday I ate really well during the day and had an amazing Soulcycle spin class in the evening, but then I was super hungry afterward and I overate, so that wasn't good. I also had a big tall glass of Sauvignon Blanc with dinner, which gave me a headache and woke me up in the night. For the rest of the weeknights (Tuesday - Thursday), I am going to focus on 1) not drinking alcohol in the evenings, and 2) eating light dinners in the evenings and not snacking afterward. I meal prepped a bunch of yummy healthy vegetable soups so I am going to make those a focus in the evenings. Go team!
12/13 172.4 - OK so this counts as a .1 loss since the first day of the challenge. Yay! haha. Including today and the last day, we have 6 more days of the challenge to actually make a difference. Yesterday was a pretty good day - I went to hot yoga at lunch and I ate well and did not binge at night. I did have a glass of wine with dinner, and I did have a snack before bed because I was actually hungry, but it was a healthy snack (yogurt and muesli). Overall I am satisfied with my day yesterday, and I am motivated to make today an even better day. It's a rest day for exercise, but I will eat healthy and drink a lot of green tea and water. Woot! Also looking for motivated/motivating friends so if you're reading this please feel free to add me.
12/14 - 172.4 - Meh! Same as yesterday. I ate pretty well all day but then had too much cheese and some chocolate at night before bed (terrible idea). Planning to eat well today and have a workout at the condo gym toward the end of the night. My big challenge tonight will be to not overeat out of boredom. Fiance's out of town and I have no plans other than staying in with the dog, so it will be very tempting to just eat all the cheese in the house. Cheese is my biggest downfall!
12/15 171.8 - well that's cool! I think over the next 4 days including today I can definitely make it into the high 169 range at this rate. Yesterday I ate really well and went to the gym to do a treadmill/elliptical combo. I ate a snack after work, worked out, then had a late dinner, which might be a good combo for me, as I don't get hungry before bed. This seems crazy but maybe I eat dinner too early, which leads me to snack/binge at night?! This weekend's going to be a bit of a gong show with events, I have 2 holiday parties tonight with open bars, then 1 event tomorrow night, then 2 events on Sunday, one of which is a Christmas cookie swap . My goal during all this is moderation - just because there is an open bar or hundreds of cookies doesn't mean I need to eat all the cookies or drink all the drinks. Weekend motto: "one or two will do!"
12/16 - ... Decided not to weigh myself. I ate well during the day, but went to 2 parties and then came home and ate pizza with my fiancé in bed. It was great! haha. woke up this morning a bit hung over and very thirsty, so I drank tons of water. With a pizza food baby and several cups of water in me, I think weighing in today would be inaccurate and depressing / demotivating. I'm planning to eat well today and go for a half hour lane swim, and will not be partying tonight, so the number on the scale should be okay tomorrow. Go team!!
