Day/Weight/Comment

8/26 – 179.0 Hello old friends! Welcome Newbies! Let’s get it done this round! YESTERDAY’S STATS: 21 Net Carbs. 1269 Calories In / 2197 Calories Out. 7,235 total steps. 3.06 total miles. 11/13 (250) fitbit steps. Not a lot of movement today and no exercise. Drywall man and carpenters back doing more work on the renovations and redesign of my livingroom. Everything in the house is askew and a mess. Ugg. My diet was on point with some extra protein. Saw a dermatologist for the 1st time recently due to extreme hair loss. Not related to weight loss as this started in 2015 and has escalated. May be related to my prior chemotherapies in 2009, 2010 and 2011. So a bit of extra protein along with prescription prenatal (wow!) vitamins and prescription hair oil and prescription shampoo is what he is trying. I’ve added a protein shake to my diet. I am already on a low carb which also gives me a good amount of protein. I feel totally ready for this round and want to get in the 170’s for the 1st time since 2007. When I originally started my diet in Jan 2018 I set my goals for 8-10 pounds per month. Now that I am getting closer to goal weight I have set my goals to 6 pounds per month/2 pounds per round.
MY SON’s CURRENT WEIGHT: 1.2 more pounds down. Total weight loss 24.6 since May 1, 2018. Most of the time he is not giving me too much trouble on the diet though I have to carefully plan his to include snacks, carbonated beverages (like ICE) and some of the foods he loves most (in the right quantity). He is always so proud of every achievement and I am so very proud of him. I just want to teach him healthy eating that works for his Autistic easting and sensory disorders before I get older and it’s my turn to meet God.

Well I'll be sitting this round out as I'll be on vacation. I was hoping to have lost 19 pounds at this time but I hit a wall that lasted for the entire last round and I've been stuck on a 15 pound loss, which is actually pretty great. Good luck to all of you and I'll be back for the next round.

missm2 · August 2018

Round 5 for me
SW:215lbs
UGW: 140lbs
Aims for this round - to exercise at least 5 out of the 10 days and to lose at least another 2lbs. My new mini goal is190lbs but I don't intend to lose it quickly as I'd rather lose it slowly so it stays off. So I'll aim for 195-194 for this round.
Good luck everyone

8/26 197.7- 1lb up from yesterday - not making the right choices with food. I used to keep a food diary and think I need to go back to this to see where I'm going wrong. No workout / lazy day.

Under my calorie goal for the day. I really need to work on eating while I'm at work! Sometimes it's so easy just to forget to eat. So I finish work and I'm really hungry! Took the stairs when I came home today. I really can't do much activity because my body always aches, but I hope that I'll be able to soon!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.

REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Hello ladies and gents. First time doing a challenge. I’ve been off and on MFP for years but hopefully will be around a while this time. Hoping this challenge will keep me accountable! I like the small timeframe, seems doable!

Lots of special events coming up this week. A champagne breakfast for a friend tomorrow, Monday a retirement reception for our beloved pediatrician, Wednesday a goodbye lunch for our summer staff who are leaving to go back to school (Ethiopian food - tracking that will be a challenge). Also on Wednesday our wedding anniversary dinner 32 years!

, and on Thursday an end of summer (

) BBQ. I am hoping for maintenance this round.

8/26 181 Yay! Nice start for the round.
8/27 180.4

First special event successfully navigated! Followed by a long walk with my son in the evening.
