8/30- 204
8/31- 203 : yesterday was probably just inaccurate- I definitely ate too much junk. I have a habit of being good with my meals then suddenly starving after 7pm and then having sweets and peanut butter 😫. I just have to eat more protein during meals to sustain my hunger because of breastfeeding. Eating sweets is not satisfying to anything other than my sweet tooth 😏
9/01- 202.5 (scale only goes by .5 intervals)- I watched my sugar and fat intake..definitely didn’t think it was enough for improvement.

8/26 – 179.0 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.

8/31 - 178.4

9/01 - 178.8 I have no idea why weight is sneaking up. I suspect it is potty trouble which can be common on my low carb diet. The Benefiber I took yesterday hasn’t helped. But I am going to remain hopeful and trust the process. Another NSV Yesterday – Made brownies for company coming over. Got a gob of frosting on my finger, raised it to my mouth on instinct and quickly stopped. I realized that even one lick could send me spiraling down into a full-on binge that could last for days. So I washed it off at the sink. Because I am a sweet fanatic, and a chocolate crazy woman, you can only image how proud I was of myself. I wish the scale had rewarded me. YESTERDAY’S STATS: 20 Net Carbs. 1023 Calories In / 2534 Calories Out. 10,263 Total Steps. 4.34 Total Miles. 12/13 (250) Fitbit Step Hours. Intermittent Fasted 16:8 . 20 Minutes of Dance Aerobics. All rain here. It is forcast for about the next 10 days. We have already had it for the last 4 so it has been gloomy. I am trying to do more inside movement. I hope it is better weather for everyone reading this. Have a great Saturday everyone.

Round 51 – SW 160.8 (a blip up from yesterday), GW lower 159’s
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128
Day/Weight/Comment
8/26, Sunday – 160.8 Last night was at our friends’ fiftieth wedding anniversary do – all 5 hrs of it. Fun but long and even though I was careful on the food, lots of extra salt and sugar. Hope this is mostly water weight but haven’t been all that careful this week so it may be payback.
8/27, Monday – 159.2

Maybe I can make it under 159 this time.
8/28, Tuesday – 159.2 Determined to sew myself a pair of pants today so I have something nice that really fits and in a color I like. I've sewn in the past but never pants for myself - I know there will be fitting to do but if I can successfully navigate that, it's a relatively easy sew.
8/29, Wednesday – 159.4
8/30, Thursday – 160.8
8/31, Friday – 160.8 Still working on the pants for this trip. Had no idea that doing proper alterations would take so long but they are coming along nicely. Feeling draggy today likely b/c I’ve been nibbling on snacks (bought for the trip – what ‘trip’ have I been on? Should have known better than to buy them ahead of time. At least they are relatively low calorie.)
9/01, Saturday – 159.8
9/02
9/03 – off on a trip so no computer or scale
9/04 - away

hammycakes · September 2018

Been on a steady trend of gaining since January. Overall I think I've gained about 12 lbs. gotta catch it before it sticks. Looking forward to a productive week, off to do some meal planning.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/26 no data
8/27 no data
8/28 185.4 Lifted this AM and then ran/walked a mile. Date night tonight.. trying to figure out a good meal to stay within my calories feels challenging. Drinking a big glass of water before we go. Trying not to focus on the number, just getting in the groove of checking in.

8/29 185.8 Date night didn't happen due to kiddo getting injured during dance class

so we ate healthy and had a couple of cocktails after she went to bed. Calorie-wise ended up being better I suppose. Getting ready to plan my food for the day. Ready to see a good downward trend get started!

8/30 185.8 A bit surprised the scale isn't budging still. Maybe tomorrow. Last night I wanted to have a cocktail but didn't, had a 1/2 a protein shake instead. Still stayed w/in my calories. Food is planned for today. Now just to stick to it, and drink my water as well!

8/31 185.0 trend line not budging. ho hum.

9/01: 184.6 happy september. I have a goal to lose 9.6 lbs this month.. and a plan to do it as well. My trend line showed green today after 5 days in the red, so I'm happy about that.

KeriA · September 2018

I started the last challenge and then several things happened. My scale broke and I realized that the pounds I had lost weren't lost. Every time I got on the new scale it would show a gain. Then we had a wedding celebration in the family and I was out of town. Family has been in town. We also had a bunch of repairs to our home going on so all our stuff got boxed and moved around. I hope you don't mind me starting this one late now that life is settling back down somewhat. I usually like to lose slow and healthily but this scale/switch gain needs to go fast and I am not willing to wait to start on them. I use a spreadsheet to track daily info so I can fill in some of the blanks.

OSW: 266 lbs (I got this earlier this week)
UGW: 150 and then see what makes sense.
IGW: 199 lbs
CGW: below 260 lbs

Female age 49 5"5" Goal to lose some weight before a run Sept 22nd. Thank you @GrandmaJackie for this challenge.

Give me 10 days round 50 - Starting weight 137 End of challenge weight 133
Give me 10 days round 51 -

8/26 Happy Sunday all!
Today – 133 pounds. I’m taking advantage of this beautiful day with less smoke in the air. Going for a walk with a friend on the green belt. Nice scenery. Squeezing in yard work. Glad to be outside again.
8/27 Still holding at 133 pounds. Hoping this will break soon. Back at the gym. Tonight.
8/28 today -133 pounds. Hour run last night. Keep pushing with heathy food and working out today
8/29 today – 133 – no gym

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.
8/27 198- 0.3 up on yesterday's weight... hopefully I'll start to go down now, as this usually the pattern ( I hope)
8/28 198- no change - better than going up!! Planning to go swimming tomorrow, as I say need to start moving and by telling my daughter she will nag me until we go.
8/29 198- again no change- went swimming, which was great..planning to do a dancing routine ( not sure which one yet).. trying to find an exercise that I enjoy and will fit in with work when I start back next week, so I can kick this number out the window. Used the MFP diary today.
8/30 196lbs - down 2lbs - I think that I wasn't eating enough and my body was holding onto fat as it thought it was staving ( I wasn't hungry). I've come to this conclusion because I ate more yesterday and the weight has started to drop again. I also upped my level of water to 3.5 litres and exercised. I will continue to track my meals and see what happens today. I'm not expecting another drop tomorrow, but I'm hoping to maintain this weight (that would be good).
8/31 195.2 lbs - so pleased to see my target weight for this round. It's my son's 17th birthday today, so we're going out to one of our favourite restaurants. It is a buffet style, so I'm sure that will trial to eat well. I do intend to enjoy the evening as my son is going away next year and I won't be with him for his 18th. I'll have to work off the extra pounds that I gain over the next few days... just hope that is not too many.
9/01 197lbs - I knew it was going to happen- I didn't eat as much as I would usually eat at the buffet, but I know that when other people make the food they would add more salt than I would usually have (I don't add salt in my cooking, due to a high blood pressure)- did drink loads of water yesterday ... but didn't drink enough today. Hoping the pounds will start to shift in the next few days.

Twelfth Round

Round 47 SW 179.4
Round 48 SW 178.2
Round 49 SW 177.8
Round 50 SW 175.6
Round 51 SW 174.0

8/26 No Scale
8/27 174.0/I'm happy to be starting off another round with a loss. At the beginning it was difficult to see the forest through the trees as my weight doesn't decrease very much throughout each 10 day period, but my SW is decreasing over time. My goal for this challenge is to get down to the 171's or to start the next challenge in the 171's. I want to move beyond this decade. I have a trip planned in a little less than a month and would love to lose 8 pounds by then.
8/28 173.6/ Great! I didn’t drink enough water yesterday, but managed to stay pretty close to my calorie goal. It will be about 100 degrees F here today, so I will be drinking plenty of water.
8/29 173.8/ I’m happy to be staying below 174 for a few days in a row, I’m hopeful for a big loss this round. I know that I won’t hit the goal I was hoping for by September 15th but I’d like to be out of this decade.
8/30 173.6/ I had a doctor’s appointment this morning and the nurse congratulated me on losing weight since the last time I had been in the office. My weigh-in is tomorrow, I’m hoping to dip below the 173’s.
8/31 173.0/ This is the lowest weight I’ve seen since January and I’m really happy with it. I know that we’ll be eating out tonight, but I’m hoping to say within calories the rest of the weekend. I’d really like to leave this decade and hit the 160’s soon.
9/01 172.4/ Yes! I was surprised to see this number after eating out last night, but I also logged 13,000+ steps yesterday. I’m trying to load up on water now but expecting a slight gain tomorrow.

Hmm - I somehow messed up my days last round. No surprises there as I have very little routine right now and all my days are bleeding together! Whoops.

8/26 - Sunday - 185.5*

8/27 - Monday - 186.5* - So much salt the past few days. And so much moving. Got the table done, last heavy thing is the grill. Which is HEAVY. Landlord gave us the extra weekend to move/clean, yay! Still on an emotional roller coaster with the house - change is really hard for me. My dad reminded me that I cried when he painted the house, and also cried when they got rid of a 20 year old couch. So yeah, even good change is hard for me. But I'm learning not to hold to tightly to my feelings - the feelings come and go a little easier these days - I know its okay to feel scared of change, but I have to let it go and feel excited too! Applying these ideas to my weight loss journey too.

8/28 - Tuesday - 185.5* - More pizza and salt last night. Pretty wild day at work so I did not eat much, then basically binged when we finally ate. Need to avoid too skewed of eating and find a happy balance again. I need to start eating my breakfast protein shake again - not getting enough protein in general. And I find when I skip it I'm more likely to put off eating until I'm ravenous and it does not end well. Reminding myself in ALL aspects of my life that simply trying is the first and biggest hurdle for me. I've been stuck in a fixed mindset, that if I try something and fail, I'm somehow less smart because I did not succeed. But I'm moving towards a growth mindset - that trying and failing does not take anything away from me, it only gives me an opportunity to learn and grow from it - so keep trying!!!

8/29 - Wednesday - 185.5* - Still using new house scale. Still hovering around this weight. Mom helped me clean the apartment yesterday. Moms are the best. Packed, loaded and unloaded 2 cars worth of boxes. We worked hard and it was so hot! Moes for dinner - ate half my quesadilla and felt full! Another scorcher today. Will probably unpack some boxes tonight, and finish final moving tasks on Saturday; final dump run, scrapper to pick up washing machine etc, AAA to tow car, and move the grill and garden. Trying to be gentle and kind to myself as we adjust and find our new normal.

8/30 - Thursday - 185.0* - A ridiculous day at work had me hardly eating again. Took my PM meds and ended up light headed and woozy. Not enough water, not enough food, not enough energy to cook, not enough AC in the world to keep our house cool. So we went to the grocery store and grabbed a cheeseburger plate from the market for $3 and 750 calories its my new "I need to eat dinner that's not take out but want take out" meal! Emptied two boxes and set up basement game room so we watched a movie down there where it was cool and didnt do much else. I know I need to drink lots of water and eat an adequate amount so I can finish this move strong. Definitely starting to burn out so I need to be mindful and work with my body, not against it.

8/31 - Friday - 184.0* - I seent it! Now to make it stay for this round. Tuna sandwich for lunch yesterday hit the spot - going to have that more. Dog park and quick sausage sandwich for dinner last night. Unpacked a few boxes. I put on a pair of khakis this morning that I havent worn in about 2 weeks and they are HUGE! So even though the scale has been pretty stagnant I feel very little! Also puts me about 1.5 lbs away from 30 lbs lost! The move has actually put me a little ahead of schedule so far and I'm being careful to remain at a healthy rate of loss, not so fast that I lose muscle. Final push to finsish apartment tonight and tomorrow - feels like such a neverending saga but theres a light now!

9/01 - Saturday - 185.0* - September, wow! Moved all day long. Heavy outdoor equip and all garden stuff. Mom helped. Long day. Takeout chinese last night and takeout Italian tonight. Back for more moving in am. Then need to get to grocery store tomorrow as well. Got the grill up finally dinners should feel more normal again on really hot days. Settling in!!

@abowersgirl I just want you to know how much you are inspiring me. I see that every time you have an extra 10 or 15 minutes you are using it to fit in some form of exercise or movement. Walking. Jump roping & more. I am such an incredibly busy person but sometimes I think too big. If I don't have 30 minutes or more, I just can't exercise today. You are reminding me that even those few minutes, those moments even, really add up. Thanks for the inspiration.

8/26 - Out of town.
8/27 - 147. I missed the end of the last round since I was out of town for a long weekend. We walked everywhere and I even made it to the hotel gym. We also went on a guided food tour. Even before the trip, I had a round of no scale movement. I like what I'm doing this time. It feels sustainable and I hope that I can get to a healthy weight doing it. I'm going to go one more round without changing my program and see if the scale starts to move again. If not, I'll reevaluate for September. Even though the scale isn't moving, I feel stronger, healthier and just a little bit firmer.
8/28 - 146. Yay!
8/29 - 146. I got 146, 145 and 147 from the scale this morning with three consecutive weighings. Maybe my trusty old mechanical scale isn't so trusty anymore. But I kind of have a soft spot for it, I've had it since I was 19!
8/30 - 146. I'll take it. I've been having a little problem with cheesy crackers... Lots of cheesy crackers. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I bought a Costco-sized package of them and we've been spending a little too much time together. Challenge for today: Eat no cheesy crackers!
8/31 - 145. Lots of exercise, water and no cheesy crackers yesterday. I was pretty excited to see 145 this morning.
9/01 - 145. Just sneaking in with a post before midnight in my time zone. Out of town again, so no weigh in tomorrow morning. Active day today doing lots of house painting. Happy to see 145 again this morning since I was afraid yesterday’s weight was a fluke.

This round will be tricky for me, as for the first half I will be abroad on a family visit, a trip which will be full of temptations in the shape of wine, cake, snacks and restaurant dinners (basically everything that I've so successfully been avoiding in the previous round...).

Therefore for this round I will mostly focus on maintaining and to stay below 65.5kg (144lbs).

Day/Weight/Comment
8/26 - away no scales
8/27 - away no scales
8/28 - away no scales
8/29 - away no scales
8/30 - 67.3kg - well, what can I say, best get back to it immediately...
8/31 - 66.3kg - going in the right direction again

9/01 - 65.7kg - happy days
9/02 - 65.7kg - go on, let it go let it go
