9/05 160 went over on calories yesterday and had a late dinner.
9/06 160 So often I feed the kiddos and get busy with household duties, put them to bed and realize I haven't eaten dinner (and then it's late). We used to all sit down and eat together, but since the new baby it's hard to do sometimes. Going to work on that. I always enjoyed sitting down as a family at dinner time. It'll also help that I'm not eating so late as well.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05--218.4 Did some extra snacking yesterday evening. I think it was because I was feeling tired due to a restless dog during the night before. Now I know that being tired is a trigger to my snacking I will plan for next time. Still showing a downward trend. Yoga tonight.
9/06--218.2 I want to get back into doing C25K tonight. Between the excessive heat and bad air over the last couple of weeks I haven't done any running since July 1st and I really want to do a 5k this fall. So tonight I am going to take the dog out for a little running and walking.

9/06 173.0 (+0.4) This "gain" is because I had to eat before weighing in (which I normally don't do). My boyfriend had to wake me up and literally feed me because my blood sugar was so low. Have to be super careful with my insulin dosages since I've lost so much weight. This is the first time this has happened

Round 50 SW 175.6
Round 51 SW 174.0
Round 52 SW 173.4
9/05 173.4/ I knew those 3 pounds were just water weight. I drank a lot of water yesterday, stayed within my calorie goals, and squeezed in a work-out. My boxing class starts again on Monday which should help me stay on track. My goal for this challenge is to be in the 171s, but I would love to get out of this decade. For anyone feeling discouraged, take a look at my SW for each challenge. My weight is all over the place during each 10 day challenge, but my SW shows the progress.
9/06 174.2/ I went over calories last night so I’m not too surprised by the gain. I’m hoping it goes down for tomorrow or Saturday as I tend to log a weight in MFP on either of those days.

I am a 49 year old 5'4" woman. I will be 50 by the time this round ends though. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.
I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. On the other hand when I look at the big picture and the averages it has been a consistent loss except for one round.

Plan for the next 10 days:
*write daily food plan the evening before
*drink 64+ oz water daily
*limit alcohol to 2x per week
Goal this round: <184 (I'm thinking some of this starting number is due to just starting back at the gym, so the goal doesn't seem too excessive for 10 days.)
Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 187.5 food is planned for today, almost half way through my water. feeling down on myself this morning due to the high scale number but gotta embrace reality, own it, and change it.
9/06 186.0 still feeling heavy but heading in the right direction. Stuck to my plan yesterday, drank all my water too. 20 min on the elliptical this morning, 1/2 way through my water so far and planning on a date night tonight so eating a very light breakfast and lunch today.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 278 Glad I found this today.....My first round. I don't like posting my weight, hoping having to report will help me stick to it.
I started higher than you are now! I completely understand...but stating that weight and then bringing it down is so empowering
I love this group. Everyone is at a different age/stage of life, losing three pounds or three hundred. No judgment. Just all working a plan, and the support is fantastic.12 -

Hi, my name is Andrea. This is my second round and I am glad to have this group to keep me accountable. I am 47 and have 2 school-aged kids (9 and 12) that keep me running with appointments, after school clubs and dance classes. I am making a commitment to get healthier for me and them. My ultimate goals are to lower my cholesterol, A1C and blood pressure with a goal weight of 140 to get me into the normal BMI range. My short term goal would be to get out of the obese range, so a goal of 169. I love having the even shorter 10-day goal to keep it really obtainable.
R52- SW=194.7, GW= 192.5
R51- SW=196, EW=194.7 (-1.3)
Daily goals: stay under calories, 80 oz water, no eating past 6:30
Exercise goals: gym twice/ week
9/5 Wednesday, 194.7. -0.4 from yesterday and -1.3 from R51. I will take it after poor choices made over a 4-day weekend to the beach. Yesterday was great. I stayed under my calorie budget and did not eat anything after 6:30. Today's goal is to stay under budget and 30 minutes of cardio at the gym.
9/6 Thursday, 193.5 (-1.2). I think it is mostly water since I drank a lot yesterday and I was really shedding it all day and night. I felt terrible last night and did not work out but I did stay way under calories. Plan is to go tonight while daughter is in ballet. Even if I just walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes, it will be something.

9/5 / 221.8 / I'm a bit sore today and this is an early weigh in so the bump in weight is completely expected. I think this is going to be a sweet round. I hope everyone is feeling as optimistic as I am!
9/6 /221.8 / Second verse, same as the first! I was HUNGRY last night, but I was able to stay within calories and didn't gnaw on anybody.
