9/07 - 85.5 kg (188.4 lbs)
Probably I didn't have enough water, I know that my weight is higher.
9/08 - 86.7 kg (191.1 lbs)
OK (Deep breath). Yeah, that's the number, I've not seen this much for a long time. I upset myself. I ate a veggie burger and drink beer and wine yesterday. Social drinking and eating... Actually most of the days I'm ok until evening. But after evening, I ate pizza, burger, pasta and drink alcohol etc. I should find something healthy in the evening. And also yesterday afternoon I binged because I don't feel good. However I went to the gym in the morning before breakfast, I think it's good.
9/09 - 86.1 kg (189.8 lbs)
Yesterday was also good until evening, but I drank alcohol again. Food is not bad. But alcohol has so many calories. However, I walked 15K steps. But also, yesterday night I got sick and lost so much water. I'm still not sure which one is my true weight.

9/05- 201.5 a nice surprise this morning! Definitely ate a lot better yesterday and it shows
9/06- nice! Got a 200 on the scale this morning. 🤗 I felt lighter, knew it was going to show. Keeping tabs about what is going into my mouth is already making an impact.
9/07 - 200 again. I’ll take it! Ate a few late night sweet and salty snacks... stress eating is a major problem of mine.
9/08 - 200.5 I didn’t track my exact food intake but was being aware of what I was eating... I guess that wasn’t enough. Back to tracking!
9/09 - 201.5 ugh pretty disappointed this morning. Trying not to let it get to me

Day/Weight/Comment

•9/5 - 182.8 - Gee, I thought I had posted this. My son called me for some reassurance concerning my DGD early this morning. He wasn't sure that she would be able to find her classroom. Kindergarten classes are at the very back end of the school. Parents cannot enter the school with the children. First child in elementary school parent jitters. His baby. Not quite 100 ozs of water yesterday, which is MUCH better than the last 4 or 5 days. I have a couple of homegrown cucumbers from a friend. I added some thin slices to my lemon water. I'm shedding water like crazy.
•9/6 - 181.8 - more cucumber today
•9/7 - 181.6
•9/8 - 180.4

•9/9 - 181.8 and 182.4 - concurrent increment battle? Lol. Could not sleep last night. 180's do not want to let me go.

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.
9/07--218.4 Up and down and up again; however, I am weighing in less then my average weight last round. Yesterday evening I went out and did W3D1 of C25K even though I didn't want to, but then I remembered that I had posted here that I would do it. So guilt from internet strangers made me go out for my run...whatever works
9/08--218.2 Did some evening snacking that took me way over my calories...stress from work, but I'm now over that. Was looking over my diary and noticed that I am getting very little fiber and I can feel it. Today is Zumba, plan for some ways to slowly increase fiber in my diet, and make sure I get my water in.
9/09--218.2 Zumba was great yesterday and then I spent way too much time at IKEA. In-laws are coming over today, so we will be going out for lunch so I need to plan. Plan today is (1) go out for W3D2 of C25K this morning, (2) eat a lighter calorie breakfast, (3) drink only water at lunch, (4) take home lunch leftovers, and (5) assuming rain holds up, go for a walk later in the evening. Here I go!

Round 52 Goals for this round:
*weight goal for this round 149.X
*log every day
*5/7 days of intentional exercise
*GRATITUDE

Day/Weight/Comment
9/5 151.2 What's working:
*Eating what I want, but consciously.
*Letting go of guilt.
*Staying active doing things I like instead of calling it "exercise"
*Focusing on myself instead of what needs to change outside of me
*Logging in here daily
*Realizing we are all the same, just doing the best we can with the tools we have
*Skipping meals- just because it's "lunch time" etc. doesn't mean I have to eat. Listening to my body.
9/6 151 I feel like something has shifted, and this is getting easier. NSV- finally got back out on my mountain bike yesterday for a nice hilly ride, taught my 16 yo son a new recipe that he cooked for dinner for the fam, got my DH out on the bike too. I can't wait to see the 140's and they are within reach!!!
9/7 152.2 Not worried about this I feel great! Another hilly ride, cooking with my son, and walked the dogs! Gearing up for a great weekend, seeing the grandbabies again tomorrow. Have a wonderful day everyone!
9/8 151.4 I had a good day yesterday, FINALLY getting my DH moving with me! It is so much easier when we are both working together, but I have learned to lead by example and not nag, suggest, hint, or ask him to get active/eat better/etc. This is the part about "focusing on myself instead of what needs to change outside of me". When I am taking better care of myself I want everyone around me to also do the same, but I know that everyone has their own limits and timelines and needs to come to their own conclusions. I cannot make someone motivated, but maybe instead inspire them by taking better care of myself. We went on a morning walk, not my usual hilly fast burn since he was with me, but I am happy to pull it back and slow my progress if it means he will come along! I spent the afternoon with my sis helping her prepare for her big annual Tapas party, peeling potatoes for patatas bravas, making albondigas, chopping fruit for sangria...great girl talk and wonderful to cook together since we never do! Today is the party, my plan is to have a protein breakfast then to fast (as difficult as that may be with all the yummy food) I think it is the safest plan to eliminate the stress eating and weight gain that will show up if I do otherwise! Got home from a busy day and my 16yo son was learning to make beef stroganoff with my DH, overall a win win day!

9/9 152.4 My plan to fast gained an "e" and turned into a Feast. There were just too many hours at my sis's (noon-10 pm) and too much amazing Spanish food to stick to the original plan. I had a great day, held my grandbabies for a good long spell and got those baby love feelings going! Didn't drink enough H2O so today my focus is on hydration, going for a walk, and self care. Yesterday took 2 walks before the party, and reached an all time high of over 20k steps, so that is a win! Tomorrow is my weekly weigh in, looking for a drop below last week's 151.8, could be a stretch, but I am eating smart today, so lets make this happen, body of mine!

Round 52 (#16)

I typically don't set goals because I find myself sabotaging them. Stupid, I know, but it's true. Challenge goal:

9/05: 134.8, late dinner

9/06: 137.0, dinner date with too much alcohol and food

9/07: 137.0, drank 32 oz water at the end of the day. I was exhausted all day so I didn’t do a thing. Just tidied up the house and took care of 2 loads of laundry.

9/08: 133.8, there goes the the bloat. Macros were off, stayed within my deficit, 60 oz of water. Now to lose the last 14 lbs.

9/09: 132.4, looks like a genuine whoosh. What I’ve changed the past 2 days - main meal 3:30pm meal break at work with a light snack after I get home, 9:30 - 10:00pm and more water.

CW: 120.8 lbs, CGW : 117 lbs

Goals:
1) Eat within calorie limits; no binge eating, mindful snacking
2) Walk 10K Steps a day.
3) 8 glasses of water.
4) AF
5) Do something good for myself - meditation, vitamins, skin care


9/05 :: 120.8 lbs :: ate in calorie limits, mindful eating; 3K Steps; not enough H2O; AF; vitamins :: Good start

9/06 :: 118.6 lbs :: ate in calorie limits, mindful eating; 3K steps yet again and not enough water; AF :: missed bitamins :: okay day, but need to fix my habit of water intake
*** back to original weight from before bloated time of the month.

9/07 :: 117.6 lbs:: ate in calorie limits, mindful eating; 9K+ steps; not enough water; AF :: vitamins :: good day
*** weekends are where I slip up and mske bad decisions, make sure all meals are planned ahead of time and I eat early or on time to avoid mindless munchies

9/08 :: 117.4 lbs :: ate way higher than calorie limits, bad choices, one unit of alcohol :: Bad day

9/09 :: 119.4 lbs ::

9/06 278.4 great start. Traveling for work
today. Flying always throws
me off. Today though, I am
feeling like I can do it!
9/07 276.8 managed to stay focused!
9/08 277.6 So much to do today!
9/09 276.2 My energy level is great. Six hour drive coming up today then staying in a hotel, my home away from home, for 4 days. Solo drives are always a challenge for me because I want to snack. I need to master eating right while not having a kitchen. Have a relaxing Sunday!!

Hello Sunday!!

Listening to 91X (just try it....Sunday morning music! Baja California! Dancing in my kitchen! Don't spill the coffee....)

Age: 60
Ht: 5/3"

SW Round 51: 128

I know that seems pretty good (and it IS! I was 152 when I started MFP) but my low weight has been 120, and I'm determined to get there again...it felt great! In fact, my UG is 115... with muscles (!!)

OK -- I will see how far I can get this round! I think this Just Give Me 10 Days is very motivating! Eat your greens everyone....

9/5/18 -- 128

9/6/18 -- 128 -- no change -- but I'm doing power yoga tonight, and I WILL sweat!

9/7/18 -- ?? Celebrating 32nd wedding anniversary -- didn't even weigh in! LOL!!!

9/8/18 -- 127.6 FOR TRUTH! Even had Creme Brulee and beautiful Cabernet from Canadian winery!

9/9/18 -- 126.4 this morning! It was the silent disco my husband and I went to last night (NOT KIDDING! It was at a music festival -- many stages -- and great bands -- AND we got to dance with the college kiddos in a silent disco....my new love!! ) See y'all tomorrow!

Thank you so much @GrandmaJackie for keeping these up and going!!

Goal for this round is to finally get under 250 (248 would be nice) and stay there.

Round 48: SW 257.4 EW 253.8 (-3.6)

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 251.4...100 oz of water, under calories and 35 min. walk.
9/06 - 251.4...100 oz of water, under calories and 80 mins. of walking.
9/07 - 251.4...125 oz of water, under calories by 7 and 25 min. walk. Drank extra water in an attempt to try and fill myself up because I was craving junk. Was able to stay away from the cake and cheesecake but ate a chocolate bar. Normally I would have broken down and eaten all of it.
9/08 - 252.4...66 oz of water, extremely over calories and a 60 min. walk. Yesterday was a planned off day, I still need them once a week or I would probably give up on everything. As time goes and I lose more I'm hoping to cut them back. On track again today though.

Welcome to all newcomers and hi again to all returning travelers.

Round 52 SW 220.8

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.

9/7 / 220.2 / Early weigh in, so this is excellent progress. Got some terrible news yesterday that I'm still trying to process.

9/8 / 220 / That puts me at an even 32 pounds lost. I actually have ribs. Who knew?

9/9 / 220.2 / I did crunches yesterday. Not all forms of exercise make me get a bump up in weight, but crunches do. I find that really interesting. I'm planning on doing lots of crunches in the coming days, so I expect some variability in weight. Of course, I also ate over calories because of movie theater popcorn yesterday, so I'm not sure why I'm singling out crunches!

9/05 -- 160.8 slowly coming on down. I don't usually eat after 7 but last night was a super late dinner at 11. I got in 150 min of exercise, which means I was up till 1 30 😥😥😥 and drank 1.5 liters of water. Hope everyone else has a good hump day!!

9/06-- 160.2 worked out for 90 min yesterday, drank 1.5 liters and stayed under my calories. I usually stop eating after 7 (8 the latest) but last night I had a craving for munchies, so ended up having a couple of mini crispys and a mini chocolate bar at 8:30. Buuuuuuut the NSV is I only ate one mini chocolate and stuck to 24 crispys (they are the rice cake kind) where before I would have over indulged on both until there was nothing left.

9/07--160.2 worked out for an hour, drank 1.5 liters and ate under my calories. I think I have officially hit my plateau. This week I haven't been the best with getting breakfast in. I have been so motivated and consumed with exercising that I have missed breakfast and lunch all week and only have been eating dinner. I have tried planning out my meals for the week to stop this but that didn't work out too good. I already know OMAD doesn't work for me and on top of it, after dinner I tend to get the munchies if I don't eat all day. Like the night before I ate some chips and chocolate and last night I ate four turtles after dinner. Of course it was all still in moderation and I didn't go over but I don't like when I get mindless cravings. I have no problem with having a treat here and there but having junk be my go to when I'm still hungry isn't ideal. So this morning after weighing in, I ate. I will see how this goes.

9/08-- 159.6 WHAT WHAT WHAT??? yesterday I caved and ended up eating a crazy amount of chocolate, although I still stayed under my calories, it obviously wasn't the healthiest day. I did exercise, even if it wasn't as much as usual and I walked. I drank 1 liter of water. It is so weird that I usually work out like crazy, eat well and get the majority of my water in but ended up plateauing for a little over a week, then the day I didn't do as well and I ended up pushing under the mark. I am a little sceptical, I will wait to see if this doesn't change by tomorrow before I get too excited. But I am hoping this is it.... me in the 50s 😃😃😃 I am going to watch closely though, third day eating chocolate.... don't want this to turn into a thing

9/09-- 159.4 so I guess I have settled here 😄😄 yesterday was my MILs bday but I made sure to drink water and order the healthier options, a big NSV for me. I used to think going out meant I didn't have to stick to my healthy eating and was a good time for a break but it went great . Ate within my calories, drank 2 liters of water and took extra long walks. So far this weekend has been going great.

Round 52 - My first round, and I'm joining late, but I'll give it a try.
9/09 329 I'm trying to restart a commitment to fitness that's more serious than anything I've done in the last 14 years or so. If I can stick with it, it's going to be a long journey, so my whole goal for this round is really to log in each day and write down what I'm eating. I have a plan for food and exercise, and I'm going to try to stick to it, but I'm just trying to get started, so the goal is just to pay attention every day.
