I feel onederland coming, so I am pushing for consistency, I want to see a more consistent downward trend this round. I am hoping for good things this month!

This is a long term thing, a few bad days or weeks is something I'm getting better at coping with.

Round 52 (2nd round for me)

Round 51 SW 204.6 EW 206.4

9/5- 203. Over calories. I changed my calorie goal and workout schedule this week.
9/6- 203. Over calories.
9/7- 202.8. Over calories.
9/8- 202.8. Under calories.
9/9- 205.6. Over calories. Not a surprise since I haven't been exercising as much this week.
9/10- 202.4. Over calories.
9/11-
9/12-
9/13-
9/14-

This is my first challenge! Excited to see all the posts/ideas.

Goals:
1) drink at least 10 cups of water
2) take a daily multivitamin
3) 10,000 steps
4) slowly increase activity

Mindset: I want to lose 50 pounds total, but since every big goal needs smaller goals, I'm going to try to think of it as losing 5 pounds 10 times. So I'm going to think in 5 lb increments and my goal will be to get to my next benchmark goal each time.

SW: 190.3

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 190.3 - well I just thought how yummy the baby carrots were that I just ate! On my way to adjusting my food thinking!
9/06 - 189.6 - did some reps with my hand weights yesterday and 45 min on elliptical. Slowly but surely...oh and also, I just ate homemade soup for dinner and I'm still hungry!!!
9/07 - 189.3 - about 30 min on the elliptical today - negatives - cheated with a few boneless wings...sigh; positives - good water intake, vitamins
9/08 - 188.9 - had lots of activity today - over 15,000 steps woohoo! Brought snacks with me, but treated myself for dinner to my favorite sorta cheat meal - sloppy joes with 90% lean ground beef, healthy life whole wheat buns, corn on the cob and baked beans; fair water intake - could have done better...
9/09 - 188.2 - did a 30 min circuit training workout this evening - I know I will feel it tomorrow! Still struggling to get all my water intake in...feeling hungry - workouts always do this to me...
9/10 - 188.2 (no change) - a little sore today from my circuit training workout yesterday, but not too bad because I started slow with a 30 min workout and modified most moves. Cut my grass for over an hour today and am going to try to do a longer workout tomorrow...

@savvyrose88 don't give up! Don't be so hard on yourself. Just go day by day. Way your food, day in and out, be precise in that, try to stay in your kcalgoal, move as you can, if you can't or won't... don't do it. Drink enough and be patience.....
You can do this, really you can. But please don't give up and be nice to yourself

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.
9/10 - 86.2 kg (190 lbs)
Yesterday I was sick all day and couldn't move. Diet was kinda ok, just ate a little much in the evening again... But that was really ok than before. Because of being sick I still feel dehydrated and cannot drink enough water, I should have some new habits for that. And also I should start logging my food, I don't know why but I still don't want it. At least I'm in this challenge.
9/11 - 86.7 kg (191.1 lbs)
I should admit that I ate a big brownie yesterday... And a little more all day to feel better. But, I'll get over this, because I have to. I gained about 6 kgs in the summer. I'm really upset about it. I should do something but don't know, for now, just continue.

05/09 Had a pretty active day yesterday, good logging too (tiny bit over - cardio hunger kills me everytime lol). Non-scale goal challenges going well so far this month. Today's aim is to finish at or under my calorie goal and get a good upper body workout in this evening before heading out on the water for an evening row.

06/09 Stayed under calorie goal yesterday, got a lot of exercise in (walked 7km, rowed a couple of km, upper body strength workout), macro split was perfect - for once - until I realised I didn't have as much cereal at home as I thought

10/09 Just back yesterday afternoon from taking part in The Great River Race in London (22 miles rowing from Millwall to Richmond) have some serious DOMS in shoulders and back so expect to be up a bit on the scale the next couple of days, was also carb-loading pre-race.

11/09 Body is feeling a little more alive now, trendweight has been creeping up a bit the last few weeks, don't think my replacement tracker is as accurate as my old one was so switching to TDEE method for a while with a fixed intake of around 2100 cals per day, which should more than allow for my normal walking/strength training over the week, any calories from rowing/running I'll just use as a buffer/bank for weekends. Aim for today is to stay hydrated and stick to planned meals/snacks.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05: 68.6 - That random fluctuation has come back down to normal levels
9/06: 68.4 - Keep dropping down. MFP has just told me that I've lost over 50% of my goal. That's pretty big to me. Been having a really tough time with the puppy the last few days, feeling tired, feeling hungry, feeling lazy. Had a glass of wine last night (really not very good wine, won't be buying that one again) but still kept within my range (all be it right at the top of it). Did a lot more standing and walking and heavy lifting yesterday than normal, so probably fine.
9/07: 68.0 - I do not deserve that. Yesterday wasn't a good day at all. Over all goals. Free breakfast at work (sausages sandwiches) so ate too much then. Saved some for lunch and so had that in addition to my actual lunch. Then I ate dinner even though I wasn't at all hungry. And had some wine. Sigh. Not good for the calories, but I'll get back on it today. The drop on the scales is definitely not fair on myself
9/08: 68.4 - Didn't get out the house, but the puppy had loads of energy yesterday so lots of running around in the garden and plenty of wandering about. Ate massively over my goals. My partner turned up with one of those cook yourself takeaway boxes, which did make logging the calories easy. But also made me realise quite how calorific those are. Half a box (one portion) was over my daily calorie allowance! However, I had a smaller naan and less rice and didn't eat all of the food there, so I've almost certainly over logged for it. Still.
9/09: 68.3 - Good day yesterday. Very busy with Judo, petting dogs and seeing family. Ate at my parents so wasn't in control of my meals. However, made a contentious effort to not overeat when given the option and had a small slices of cake instead of a large slices. And thanks to all that exercise I've ended up in the green anyway.
9/10: 67.8 - Lazy, lazy day. Spent most of it on the sofa trying to motivate myself to do something. And the rest running around after the puppy. Ate well though. Actually kept under my calorie goal, something that was slightly surprising to me as I didn't leave myself very much after breakfast and lunch. Luckily dinner turned out to be lower in calories than I thought it would be, and I even sneaked in a mini milk to my goals. Also: What? 67.x! This soon? I'm not complaining at all, but suddenly I seem to be finding this much easier. Definitely surprising considering I'm not continuously training as much as I used to.

9/11: 68.3 - So I was all ready to go on about how I completely blew my goal yesterday because I was just so darn hungry and I ate all the things. And then I actually go about inputting all my data and...well actually I'm under maintenance. So it's a win. And I realised that I ate basically no carbs in the evening, which might explaining why I was quite so hungry and why my calories weren't as bad as I thought they would be. It was because I didn't actually eat very many calories (shocking that!). Also doesn't help that shark week has just begun and I think I'm coming down with some sort of illness.
