abowersgirl · September 2018

Nice job @no1racefan1 That is amazing!! I am sure it had to do with all the walking that comes with being in Disneyland. How was it though? Did you have fun? I have never been but it is definitely somewhere I want to go.

9/07 - 178.6 A good day yesterday. NSV= Tried on a pair of pants with a button. I have been wearing elastic waist for 16 years since 2002. This was a size 14. They fit! They fit! I am in shock and disbelief! Suddenly I feel slimmer. Even Younger!

9/08 - 177.6 Oh Glorious Day! I’m back! But today will be a challenge as I will be away on an out-of-town trip where restaurants are abundant. Little old Rural Area Woman finds new dining experiences each time that others may take for granted. YESTERDAY’S STATS: 19 Net Carbs. 1254 Calories In / 2938 Calories Out. 15,392 total steps. 6.51 total miles. 13/13 (250) steps hours. 4 hours 43 minutes of sleep. Intermittent fasted 16:8.

Intermittent Fasted 16:8. Walked 1.5 miles briskly. The road worth travelling is not always an easy one, but I just stay focused on the “worth travelling” part. It gets me through the rest of it.

9/12 - 176.4 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 15 Net Carbs. 1229 Calories In / 2468 Calories Out. 10,406 total steps. 4.4 total miles. 13/13 (250) step hours. 4 hours 4 minutes of sleep. Up earlier than usual due to travel time. Intermittent Fasted 16:8. Walked my 1.5 mile neighborhood with son and friends. Also did 17 minutes of aerobic dancing hitting peak during most of it.

9/13 - 179.8 I know I did not eat enough calories to gain 3 ½ pounds overnight so I am guessing some of this is water weight. Out of town Chinese food again. It is my weakness because it is not available within 80 miles of my home so it’s often my choice when I travel. Sodium….Sodium. I will be drinking lots of lemon water today (as Tish @birdie56 recommends). I hope the scale will not be too bad at tomorrow’s final weigh in.

@birdie56 I checked my measurements from August just to see what my breast/chest size was. It is about exactly what my waist and hip size was. So I take my previous post back. I'm not SQUARE afterall. I am a rectangle! LOL. Anyway, my doctor confirmed to me recently exactly what you said. The waist is usually the last to go. Your waist/measurement goals are exactly where I would like to be. Thanks for sharing your personal information and your research with me (us). You are a Gem!

@Snowflake1968 Happy Birthday! I hope it's the BEST EVER!

@OncologyChick That also happens to me if I eat sugar or too many carbs. The cravings afterward to continue eating them goes on for days and days. I try to stick to plan so that I can get off that roller coaster. It is truly a vicious cycle. But my weakness is out of town excursions which are frequent since I live in such a rural area. It is hard to avoid restaurants & eating as a diabetic and I lose control with all the newfound options! But I am working hard on this and trying new things to soften the blow. I just wanted you to know you are not alone on your journey.

@lolakinks Forgive yourself and forget about the brownies. Progressing is moving forward and not looking back. Mishaps will happen. Most of the time the choices are good ones so the odds are WITH YOU. I just know you will succeed in achieving your goals!

R49--AW: 220.7 (-) EW: 221.3 (-)
R50--AW: 219.7 (-1.0) EW: 218.9 (-2.4)
R51--AW: 218.9 (-0.8) EW: 218.2 (-0.7) Success: Pre-planned before going to birthday party and stuck to plan.

Goal: Be conscious of my snacking in the evenings.

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!
9/10--218.6 I would be ecstatic if this is the only jump after going out for lunch yesterday. I completed most of the plan from yesterday (1) completed, (2) completed, (3) I did have a glass of lemonade at lunch, but drank water the rest of the day, (4) I had no leftovers because instead of ordering a larger meal I ordered a small meal and did not feel stuffed, and (5) did not complete I was exhausted. I also did not eat any of the Mexican cookies that my husband baked. Yesterday was a success!

Back in a step competition with my sister-in-law. Zumba tonight.
9/11--218.2--Yesterday evening I really wanted to do some snacking, so instead I left the house and went out to run around and do some errands. By the time I got back home it was too late for me to eat anything, I hate feeling full before going to bed, so instead I had some tea.
9/12--217.1 I've been so used to seeing 218.2 and 218.4 on the scale it was weird to see this number. I'm not sure how long it will last since tonight I am going to a baseball game, not for very long since I really don't like baseball, but it's a coworker's retirement party. My plan is to eat lighter during the day and drink water all day.
9/13--216.9 Not sure if this will stick after eating at the ballpark yesterday. Even though I still stayed within my daily calorie allotment, the extra salt may show up tomorrow. Also, I ate later than usual so I feel a little heavy today. Regardless, it was great to stick to my plan from yesterday. Plan for today is to do W3D3 of C25K, assuming rain holds up.

9/05 - Wednesday - 183.0 - Set my goal weight a litte lower than my usual - but I've been hovering here for a while so I feel a whoosh coming my way! Well, this morning was actually a whoosh - this puts me at 29.6 lbs lost! And so close to my short term goal #2! And so close to overweight BMI from obese BMI! I still didnt find my scale last night!!!!

It's been a kind of rough morning so far. Exhaustion both mentally and physically is catching up to me. Need to do some self care over the next few days.

9/06 - Thursday - 183.5 - Busy night last night. Worked on the in-law, cleaned drained and refilled hot tub, cooked dinner and slept over there because it was too hot. But I stayed up too late watching movies cause it was like being on vacation. Ooops. Another busy day today - work is stressing me out. Trying to stay mindful and centered despite it all.

9/07 - Friday - 182.5 - WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Short term goal #2 HELLO!!! On my way to overwight BMI all the way from obese class 2!!! And it's Friday. I'm going to revel in today's positives and push the negative to the side!!!

9/08 - Saturday - 182.5 - I was in such a mood last night. Let myself get too hungry and it was all downhill fro there. Rallied for friends dinner and the night turned out okay. Moved last things today, final wlak thru at apartment tomorrow. I need a nap. But planning to go to the fair tonight and i might not log...nah I'll log it and move on! Excited to do something fun after all this hard work!

9/09 - Sunday - 183.0 - I logged fair food as best I could. I also didnt go totally nuts eating wise so that was a win. Definitely enjoyed myself though. Went to dog festival today and ate some vegan spring rolls and then a huge sandwich on the way home. So worth it. Cooked dinner at home, pizza grilled cheese and tomato soup. Almost ordered out - gosh it snowballs so fast when I eat comfort foods I just want more! Glad I found something comfort foodish with food I had in the house cause the calories werent bothering me by the end of the weekend the cash was!

9/10 - Monday - 184.0 - Really not so bad considering! Have not drank enough water today and have a salty meal planned for dinner - but it is what it is and I'm feeling good. I REALLY need to start drinking my protein shake at some point in the day again and get better with taking my meds and start taking fish oil again. Those little habits make a big difference!

9/11 - Tuesday - 184.5 - Not surprising - not letting it get me down! Drank protein shake for breakfast and took my fish oil! Doing my best to drink lots of water today. Feeling positive that the upward trend stops today and I'm back on track! Pre logging dinner to see where I'm at for the day.

9/12 - Wednesday - 183.0 - Yay! Yesterday was the suck. Everything I touched turned to crap. Work was brutal. Got home and the washing machine started acting up. Ate dinner, tried to relax, ended up eating an entire chocolate bar. Figured I'd call the appliance repair place today, they are closed. BUT that crappy day did make me very grateful for all that I have and the people I have to lean on. And it was a good reminder that no matter what happens today, tomorrow is a new day to kick butt!

9/13 - Thursday 183.5 - Now to have it stick around til tomorrow. Questionable. It's been another hellish day. I ate wendys yesterday after I finsished my lunch because I was still hungry. Still around maintenance for the day - but I've been really hungry the past few days so trying to keep it somewhat under control while still listening to my body. Have not drank enough water so still working on that. Meh, this round is the first one since I've started that I've felt my commitment wavering a bit. Well, maybe not even commitment just motivation. And my usual back up plans have not been established in my new routine. So I'm feeling glum about everything. This too shall pass.

@deepwoodslady, You're welcome.

@MadisonMolly2017, Congrats on your new low weight!

@AJB1014, {{{hugs}}} You've come too far to talk like this. The stress of your move, the physical exertion, first the joy and then the thought of I own a house now, on the job stress, etc., etc. etc. It's a lot. If you are hungry, eat well, up to your maintenance calories, limit bread carbs. You may only need to increase food intake for a few days. Limiting calories is a physical stressor also and will work against you at times like these. I'm going through my own stress right now. Just reading about someone else's stress, stresses me out or makes it worse. Some days I just give in to higher calories, as long as I'm eating well. I feel much better for doing it. Pretty soon things will settle down and so will you and I. Nuts, nut butters and plenty of vegetables help me to cope. Walking too, without distractions, just being in the moment.

Thank you @tiabirdie56 & such great advice to AJB1014!!! I’ve been truly hungry the past couple of weeks after having very little issues with hunger for a couple of years. I have also slight headaches when normally I never have headaches.

So I also decided to eat a little more up to maintenance and give myself a bit of a break. I think I forgot my “it’s not a race” and joined some challenges that encouraged me to have more of a deficit & to lose faster ... and that backfired. In the long run for me, I do much better with a very gradual, slow, chill process. So I learned my lesson LOL

Hugs!

I've lost 10. I can't be happier. This week has been nothing but stress and challenged eating. I feel like I ran a gauntlet this week. My deadline at work was today. I struggled with stress eating or I wouldn't have stuck at 245 for three days. Today I can finally relax so I'm having a beer and expect to be up a little tomorrow. I'm already thinking about round 53.

Ready to start my third round. This is a great challenge program. One day at a time!

69 YO Texas Male
Highest Weight 290
Round 50 EW 277 (-13 lbs)
Round 51 EW 284 (+7 lbs)

Final Goal 190

9/5 - 284 lbs Up and down last challenge. Hit my goal 4 days in then went camping for five days and totally blew it. I cannot stay on this roller coaster and use getting off my routine as an excuse for return to terrible eating habits. Working on that through these challenges. Good stuff to keep me accountable. I almost didn't want to post anything as I am so disappointed for letting myself get so far off track these past few days. Key word here (ALMOST) I will stay accountable and keep working on it.

9/6 -279 (-5lbs) Well here comes the fluid drop. Good start to recovery from last week. Staying away from night snacking. My bad time as is with a lot of us it seems. Drinking lots of fluid today. Hate plain water so I go with Zero everything flavored water. Not bad.

9/7- 278 (-1lbs) Late getting to post today butHeading in the right direction again. Staying strict on my extreme low carb to get that hunger monster back in check. Evening snacking is still a problem for me. Seems to get the munchies every night and have to really work at not going for that snack. I would like to see that problem ease up and go away.

9/8 275 (-3lbs) Ok just one pound away from my challenge go this round. Now to just keep the scale pointed in the right direction instead of up, down, up, down.......

9/9 274 (-1 lbs) Yeah Goal hit! Bittersweet as that was my last round goal which I attained and then broke, but I'll take it and hopefully now will continue to drop before the end of this challenge round. Once again during the next challenge round I will be away camping for four days. This time I am determined to NOT go crazy and off this protein diet. Hope you all are doing well this weekend on your challenge.

9/10 No Scale - Away from the house today. Still very much on track though throughout yesterday. Hopefully tommorw weigh in will show some good results. Still fighting the evening munchies. Tried some Bar-B-Que Pork sins last night. Not bad! No carbs but does have calories. Good if I'm going to have something.

9/11 274 (no change) Well my first mini plateau. I have been sticking to my routine and diet but the body has decided to take a break from losing for a few days. Now comes the time when I hold for a few days then the bigger drop comes of 2-2.5 lbs and then another holding period. Its just how my system deals with this. I expect to see a few more pounds drop before the end of this challenge. I have already hit my goal for this round so all is good for now. Probably need to start exercising again. That usually gets things moving along. I have to be careful because I tend to over do things and wind up either hurting myself or hating going to the gym. Easy does it.......

9/12 274 (No Change) Still on the plateau. Probably didn't help any by eating all those peanuts after dinner. Was not able to get online to post today until late this evening. Busy day at work and which helped since I had nothing but a protein bar all day. Dinner was light with Eggs and bacon so we will se what tomorrow brings. Still some time left to drop a few more before this challenge ends on Friday. Going away for the weekend again so we shall see if I can stay away from all the bad stuff I did last week when we were camping. So hard to stay with it on those getaway trips. Hope tomorrow morning weigh in will be better.

9/13 271.5 (-2.5 lbs) Yeah! Nice start to the morning. Getting on here late again as I had a very busy day but the good news is I wasn't hungry and stayed well within my calorie and carb limits. Good thing too because tomorrow we leave for a few days camping so I have to go with the mindset that I will not jump off the program just because I am out camping. Thats always a struggle when camping means nachos burgers and ice cream. Well guess just not right now...... tomorrow will be my last check on for this challenge. Looking forward to the next one.

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...
9/11 - 187.7 - yay!!! some progress! funny how seeing a few results can spur you on - worked out 60 min today, but I did eat back some of my exercise calories b/c I was sooooo hungry. Haven't figured out how to suppress post workout hunger even though I'm eating protein within the right window after.
9/12 - 187.2 - slowly but surely! - did 45 min of Leslie Sansone walking videos - didn't quite get my 10 cups of water...I have to figure out how to get more water intake earlier in the day
9/13 - 186.3 - been working really hard at this sooooo 4 pounds down since start of challenge!!! I just restarted my weight loss efforts so this challenge has been the perfect boost!

R50 SW: 180.0 EW: 175.9 (-4.1)

R51 SW: 175.3 EW: 172.6 (-2.7)

9/05 - 172.6 Same as yesterday

Heading off to the gym now. Hope everyone has a great day

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

9/07 172.6 (-0.4) I’m happy as long as there isn’t a huge gain this round. I’ve been blessed with two awesome rounds in a row, so I’ll be happy with whatever

Had an amazing workout today, so I’m hoping that it shows on the scale tomorrow 👊🏻

9/08 172.8 (+0.2) Ok, so it didn't show

I ate well under my calories and I never eat back exercise calories. This will turn soon, just have to be a bit patient and stop second guessing myself

9/09 172.6 (-0.2) Hahah, weight loss is weird. Yesterday was awesome. Saw some friends I hadn't seen in a long while and we had a great time. Stayed under my calorie goal, but could have done better on the carb intake.

9/10

9/11 172.1 (-0.5) Oh no, I forgot to report in yesterday 😱 My weight was 172.6 yesterday though. Just came home from the gym and my glutes are basically on fire. Cut back on the carb intake yesterday and it’s already making me lose weight.. Going to continue on a low/moderate carb intake, but it’s easy to slide out of it because carbs taste amazing 😂

9/12 171.7 (-0.4) There we go! Almost done with 170

Can't wait to see 160 on the scale. Taking a day off exercising today, but I'll track everything and stay under calories

9/13 171.3 (-0.4) Nice! Very motivating to see that the the scale goes down when I reel in a bit on the carbs again. Everything between 30-70g carbs is alright it seems. I’m really getting to know my body in so many different ways now.

9/14 171.3 (-) Aight! Not exactly my round, but as long as I’m losing I’m happy. Didn’t reach my challenge goal weight, but I’ll get there next round. Total loss of -1.3lbs this round 😃 Good job everyone, see you next round.

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.

12/09 And the water weight is off, I am up around 1.2lbs from last week which I think is down to mostly lazy logging and partly down to the tracker being a bit inflated on calories, so hopefully switching to TDEE for a while should resolve that (if I stick to it

) Didn't quite stick to my meal plan yesterday, my bosses wife brought me in some Ferrero Rocher for sorting some parcels out for her and I did a bit of emotional eating after having a stressful afternoon. Anyway can't do anything about it now so logged it and moved on and did manage to stay properly hydrated. Today's goals are the same, I've pre-logged the next couple of days, I am trying to reduce the amount of snack stuff I have in the house (counter-productively I have been eating it to reduce it

plan is not to buy anymore and get serious with my meal planning sheets again)

13/09 Nice to see more water weight off again this morning, I made sure all of the chocolate is gone last night (which took me a little over my calories) now just to not keep any in the house, I am not cutting it out by any means, but adding it to the list of things to only indulge in when out and about so I can't mindlessly eat it at home out of boredom or stress. I do the same with cheese and bread, if I have those in I have to freeze them to stop myself gorging on them. Tweaked my macros yesterday to accommodate my new calorie goal, so now at 25P/35F/40C aiming for min 120g and 80g Fat Protein average per day across the week, with carbs making up the rest. Goal for today is to get a full body strength training session in this evening, stay hydrated & remember to go for lunch/take my vitamins (was so busy yesterday almost missed lunch break without realising)

14/09 End of my second round, it's nice to be a bit more accountable on a daily basis, I am pretty accountable weekly/monthly in my own group, so thanks @GrandmaJackie for running this challenge, it's very much appreciated by everyone. I just want to say to anyone who is freaking out about the day to day - don't, if ever there was a daily weigh in chart that shows how volatile water weight fluctuations can be - ^ this is it. I have well and truly learned not to sweat a 5lb gain on the scales, which up to 2 years ago would have been the reason I'd throw in the towel, rage quit and eat back all the week's calorie deficit and then feel bleurgh and start all over again.

I'll leave an infographic below that I've posted a few times on posts, hopefully it will help some that find themselves in similar situations. I had a reasonably good day yesterday stayed hydrated got a light strength training routine in. Today's goal is to take it easy at the pub tonight (not drinking anyway so shouldn't be too dificult) and get an early night as should be hiking tomorrow if the weather is nice.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND FOLKS!

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.
9/12: 68.5 - Mentally a crappy day yesterday, I won't be sharing, but I emotionally ate and ate and ate. Worked out a little over maintenance, not including the glass of wine. I would vow to do better today, but honestly I'm feeling equally as bad today, so if I manage maintenance today I think I will be happy.
9/13: 68.4 - I'm definitely seeing the difference having good food in the house makes. Right now, we don't have anything in the house, and boy oh boy does it make me make poor decisions. Aside from meaning I go out and eat from the canteen at lunch, dinner gets a super blank look, and something easy and not very tasty. The good news is that tomorrow I will be going out to do a big shop, so finally I can actually have some vegetables and fruit. In the mean time, I'm finding it very hard to stick to the goal. Over goals again yesterday worked out as about maintenance.

9/14: Forgot to weight myself - First day of puppy training yesterday! Which meant we didn't have time to eat properly and ended up eating a KFC. However, it's been logged, and tbh I was surprised at how few calories there were in it, I was preparing myself to be well over. If I was maintaining it would've been easy to fit into my allowance. And even with that I still stayed under my maintenance calories, so I'm counting it as a win.

Round summery:

Gosh it has been hard. Sensible choices do not seem to have been on my list of things to do this round. However, something I've not been mentioning as we go is that although I have been training 1.5 hours less a week for the last 3 weeks (and that is an intense session) I have kept my TDEE average almost exactly the same, if not slightly higher. Okay I know 100% why that is. It's because I have a puppy now who means I don't just sit on my sofa or in front of a computer all evening. Next week he'll be able to go out on walks and I'm expecting my output to go up. And soon I hope to be able to go back to training on Monday nights, so I'll get that 1.5 hours of intense exercise back. However, for next round I would be hoping to see that change in output to be reflected in my weight loss (finger crossed)

9/11 — 134.4 — Been sticking to my calories and IF schedule! 👍🏼

9/12 — 135.0 — lack of sleep! 😒

9/13 — 134.6 — Well yesterday was jam packed and had a flatbread from tropical smoothie on a little mini road trip. I’m going to really try to get to sleep early tonight as I have a 12 hour shift tomorrow.

9/14 — 134.8 — I tried to get to sleep early, but it’s so hard when football is on and I’m on the east coast. I have been staying under my calories all week, so I’m hoping to jump back down once I can get some good rest! Not quite my goal, but still a loss and I can’t be mad at that. 😊 onto the next round 👋🏻

9/14 70.5kg OMG, I made my goal! I am so stoked.
I hope I won't completely derail things over the weekend: Work drinks tonight, wedding tomorrow, inevitable exhaustion and hang over on Sunday.
On the work drama: The boss' boss now wants me to write a proposal on how I think the team should be set up. So I'll be doing that while hungover on Sunday and while still contemplating if I want to be there.
I will take the weekend off logging. I know I'll go over my cals, but maybe I can keep to maintenance. Hopefully dance some of it off at the wedding, otherwise there won't be any exercise. I will need to allow myself some guilt-free snacking on Sunday. Then, I will get right back to it on Monday.

What an emotional round it has been for many of us. I look forward to reading your posts and following your journeys every morning and evening. Thank you for sharing.

@tinkerbellang83 Thanks for the infographic, very useful

Day/Weight/Comment

9/05 - 154 - The scale actually flashed at 154.5, then it went to 153.5 three times, so I went with an average. I realized after I posted yesterday that I started this challenge 120 days ago. I've lost 20 pounds since starting this challenge and received a lot of good advice from reading comments. I don't know if I would have stuck with this weight loss without all the support and empathy from this group. Thank you to all!
9/06 - 152.5 - Well, there's a little whoosh!
9/07 - 152.5 - I'm really surprised I didn't have a little bounce back. I'll take it.
9/08 - 153.5 - I had a late and salty dinner last night and then I woke up very early. We also ended up eating at a burger place tonight due to some crazy errands. I've stayed within weight loss calories, but I'm expecting another bump up tomorrow.
9/09 - 152 - We started remodeling our bathroom, so I had to move my scale to a different room. I think I'll keep it there! I'm not sure how accurate this is, but it's OK with me.
9/10 - 153 - This looks a little more realistic based on the salt I ate this weekend. Back to work and back to drinking lots of water.
9/11 - 153 - I drank a lot of water yesterday, then my daughter and her boyfriend stopped by after their trip to Iceland. They brought us some Icelandic liquors that we had to try. Hopefully, it will be out of my system by tomorrow's weigh in. No regrets though, we had a fun evening!
9/12 - 152.5 - Slowly going back down. NSV - A pair of pants I bought in May due to my then 15 lb. weight loss are now too big. It's a good thing I bought them really cheap!
9/13 - 152.5 - I'm OK with this number, in fact if I can finish the round tomorrow at this weight, I'll be happy.
9/14 - 153 - Well, there's no reason for this to go up, other than it's just my body doing it's thing. I'm still down a pound this round, so I am happy!

I'm in!
First time in 10 day challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 174
9/06 - 174 - started Dr. Poon diet today Phase 1 (high protein, low fat, no carb and no fruit for 1st phase)
9/07 - 172 - Day 1 stayed on plan!
9/08 - 171 - Day 2 stayed on plan!
9/09 - 170 - Day 3 stayed on plan but ate more protein than previous two days
9/10-169.4 - Day 4 YEAH hello 160's it has been a loooonnnngggg time. Only 3 more days until weigh in. Stay
the course
9/11-168.6 - Day 5 - good grief it is still working!!! Not even hungry! No cravings! Good grief this is amazing. Now Phase 1 is really restrictive. No bread, sugar, root vegetables, tomatoes or fruit and aside from a bite of beet, tomato and watermelon that I made by mistake (prepping dinner zoneout) I have stayed faithful to the plan. I am stunned. I am thrilled!!!!! Down 5.4 lbs so far!
9/12 -167.4 - Day 6 - no really, 167.4! Down 6.6 lbs!
9/13 -167.2 - Day 7 - well there it is. I strayed and weight numbers show it. Ate more sugar than I have all week - watermelon and tomato. Now I know. Still, down 6.8 lbs!

9/14 -166.2 - Day 8 on Poon Diet. TOTAL LOST 7.8 lbs! Eating 1000-1200 calories per day and not hungry! Eating "protein 'n greens", lots of greens and protein and it is working. Weighed in yesterday and lost 8 lbs officially! Next week - proteins 'n greens for 1 more week of Phase 1.

Ready to start my third round. This is a great challenge program. One day at a time!

69 YO Texas Male
Highest Weight 290
Round 50 EW 277 (-13 lbs)
Round 51 EW 284 (+7 lbs)
Round 52 EW 271 (-13 lbs)

Final Goal 190

9/5 - 284 lbs Up and down last challenge. Hit my goal 4 days in then went camping for five days and totally blew it. I cannot stay on this roller coaster and use getting off my routine as an excuse for return to terrible eating habits. Working on that through these challenges. Good stuff to keep me accountable. I almost didn't want to post anything as I am so disappointed for letting myself get so far off track these past few days. Key word here (ALMOST) I will stay accountable and keep working on it.

9/6 -279 (-5lbs) Well here comes the fluid drop. Good start to recovery from last week. Staying away from night snacking. My bad time as is with a lot of us it seems. Drinking lots of fluid today. Hate plain water so I go with Zero everything flavored water. Not bad.

9/7- 278 (-1lbs) Late getting to post today butHeading in the right direction again. Staying strict on my extreme low carb to get that hunger monster back in check. Evening snacking is still a problem for me. Seems to get the munchies every night and have to really work at not going for that snack. I would like to see that problem ease up and go away.

9/8 275 (-3lbs) Ok just one pound away from my challenge go this round. Now to just keep the scale pointed in the right direction instead of up, down, up, down.......

9/9 274 (-1 lbs) Yeah Goal hit! Bittersweet as that was my last round goal which I attained and then broke, but I'll take it and hopefully now will continue to drop before the end of this challenge round. Once again during the next challenge round I will be away camping for four days. This time I am determined to NOT go crazy and off this protein diet. Hope you all are doing well this weekend on your challenge.

9/10 No Scale - Away from the house today. Still very much on track though throughout yesterday. Hopefully tommorw weigh in will show some good results. Still fighting the evening munchies. Tried some Bar-B-Que Pork sins last night. Not bad! No carbs but does have calories. Good if I'm going to have something.

9/11 274 (no change) Well my first mini plateau. I have been sticking to my routine and diet but the body has decided to take a break from losing for a few days. Now comes the time when I hold for a few days then the bigger drop comes of 2-2.5 lbs and then another holding period. Its just how my system deals with this. I expect to see a few more pounds drop before the end of this challenge. I have already hit my goal for this round so all is good for now. Probably need to start exercising again. That usually gets things moving along. I have to be careful because I tend to over do things and wind up either hurting myself or hating going to the gym. Easy does it.......

9/12 274 (No Change) Still on the plateau. Probably didn't help any by eating all those peanuts after dinner. Was not able to get online to post today until late this evening. Busy day at work and which helped since I had nothing but a protein bar all day. Dinner was light with Eggs and bacon so we will se what tomorrow brings. Still some time left to drop a few more before this challenge ends on Friday. Going away for the weekend again so we shall see if I can stay away from all the bad stuff I did last week when we were camping. So hard to stay with it on those getaway trips. Hope tomorrow morning weigh in will be better.

9/13 271.5 (-2.5 lbs) Yeah! Nice start to the morning. Getting on here late again as I had a very busy day but the good news is I wasn't hungry and stayed well within my calorie and carb limits. Good thing too because tomorrow we leave for a few days camping so I have to go with the mindset that I will not jump off the program just because I am out camping. Thats always a struggle when camping means nachos burgers and ice cream. Well guess just not right now...... tomorrow will be my last check on for this challenge. Looking forward to the next one.

9/14 271 (-0.5 lbs) Ok I'll take it. Met my goal for this round and then some. This is working!

Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 52
