Daily goals: stay under calories, 80 oz water, no eating past 6:30
Exercise goals: gym twice/ week
9/15 Saturday- 192.2 (+0.2)
9/16 Sunday- 192.3 (+0.1)
9/17 Monday- 192.3 (no change) I need to reign in my weekends. I am up 0.3 since Friday which isn't terrible but I need to do better. Time to kick it in high gear. I am going to Hawaii in 18 days. If I can get solidly below 190, I will be HAPPY. But I need to double up my efforts!
9/18 Tuesday- 190.4 (-1.9) This number has got to be wrong. The batteries on my scale were running low so I changed them last night and now my weight is much lower. I did weigh like 5 times this morning but I still do not believe it. Will see what tomorrow holds. I did have a NSV today though. I tried on pants that I stopped wearing because they were too tight and they fit this morning! So I can see the progress being made

Round 52 SW 203 EW 201

9/15- 201. Over calories. No exercise. Need to drink more water. In pain most of the day. Will try to get back on track tomorrow.

I like to watch my macros (sugar, salt, carbs, fat etc.) I find that to be so much more effective and my weight loss tends to last a lot longer then calorie or fat watching alone (always experienced immediate gains if I strayed) I also listen to my body and continue to grow with it. Things that might have worked for you at one point in life might not be as effective in another.
When it comes to exercise I like doing things that are fun and make me feel good. I find sometimes people want the results so bad that they go hard when they start and they never end up keeping consistent with their work outs. I don't like feeling like I'm adding chore or a task to a to-do list, I want to feel motivated enough to move and there are tons of ways to accomplish it, just a little research might be needed
And the last thing and most important, I stay positive. I congratulate myself on a job well done..I don't get on myself for what I couldn't accomplish. This is so important because when you are ready to really push you boundries, you will do it. A lot of people quit over can't...that's why I focus on can. Always be nice to yourself and respect yourself on this journey. The point of trying to lose weight and become more active is to improve yourself, for yourself...Being negative or self critical is the exact opposite, it's just welcoming an unhealthy attitude and that is kind of contradicting to what you are trying to accomplish.

Better late than never, as the old saying goes. Thanks for sharing. I see that your overall plan includes diet, exercise and mentality. That is probably the holy trinity when it comes to weight loss and overall fitness. It's the mentality part that I am actually the weakest at. Thanks for the details in that department.

Hi, again. I couldn't finish most of the challenges but I'm still around here. So, I hope this will be better and I'll finish it. Maybe I'll make it a confession of bad habits, however, I have to change things. Ok, here we go.
9/15 86.3 kg (190.2 lbs)
Yesterday I binged and ate junk food at night. I have some phrases of eating junk food 3-4 times in a year. I eat every day for a few weeks but then sick of it. I think it's time to sick of it. I'll be better, promise to myself. I'm just having so many anxious thoughts in my mind these days about work, Ph.D., relationships etc. Emotional/stress eating is my thing... I'm about to program my life these days and, diet and exercise are part of it.
9/16 86.4 kg (190.4 lbs) but after breakfast because I forgot weighing before
Confession is coming... I drank alcohol, one beer, one glass of wine and two shots of tequila. So I might be dehydrated. I also ate a brownie and pizza. However, I walked 15k steps. I hope today will be better.
9/17 85.9 kg (189.3 lbs)
Yay! No need to confess. I didn't binge, eat junk food or drink alcohol. And see the lower weight, that's what should I do. Actually yesterday I really wanted to eat dessert, but I didn't let myself. And also yesterday I bought myself a running shirt for myself which gives me motivation. I really like it and it's medium size and kinda fits me, normally I wear XL. Starting next week I'll be really busy, I think it'll be good for my diet, there'll be no time to eat. I realized that when I'm at home, I tend to binge. And this summer I was mostly at home so gained lost of weight. I believe myself, even I took a "before pic".
9/18 86.3 kg (190.2 lbs)
I was doing ok until I saw the carrot cake... However, all day I was on the streets walked 21k steps. But I should go to the gym. I haven't gone for a while. And also I shouldn't eat pasta for dinner, even I wasn't hungry that much... Ahh me...
9/19 86.8 kg (191.3 lbs)
This is the result of late dinner (with too many carbs) and a chocolate souffle. However, I went to the gym and exercised about 2 hours, I was really good at it. At least I exercised, right?

Since I read @abowersgirl post, I've been thinking about what my plan is. And I like the notion of holy trinity, @deepwoodslady , it makes so much sense! While I don't have a clear plan, the min things for me are to move more, eat less&healthier and don't give up over little slip ups.
Diet
For me, counting calories works in terms of staying keeping myself in check. I'm such a sweet tooth and snacker, if I don't count, I go overboard. That said, I had a few NSVs realising that even if I give myself a day "off", I'm nowhere near as bottomless. That doesn't mean I don't go over, but I'm much more picky with my snacks.
I do realise that having days off logging counteracts progress, but I do find it stressful when I don't make the food or can look it up.
I just looked at my macros and should maybe pay more attention to them.
Mentality
This has changed a lot over the past couple of month. I find logging less of a chore on normal days and don't beat myself up for going over cals a little. Same with taking days off, i know it's not great, but by now I always come back to logging and not just throw in the towel, despite the slow progress.
This challenge really keeps me motivated through logging and reading everyone's stories. I'm not very good at giving myself praise for little progress, definitely something I should embrace more.
Exercise
I run (jog) and recently started boxing, which I love. So absolutely things I enjoy. Running with a plan is currently working well for me. I did C25K earlier this year and am now upgrading doing a 5-10k plan. But also I don't fret if I have a bit of a motivational dip like the past 10 or so days. Maybe my body needs it, my biggest worry is to get injured. And I know I'll pickbit up again in a day or two.
Tracking my steps helps me walk more and get outside at lunch orbin the evening. I aim for 10,000walking steps/day, but more than half of those I get just getting to and from work. I now really enjoy the time outside, while listening to real crime stories and taking pictures.

15/09 Busy work week, kept pretty well to my meal planner.
16/09 Had a couple of nice walks in Dingle, County Kerry yesterday, had a couple of beers and some homemade curry. Trendweight chart is on a downward turn again
17/09 Had a pretty lazy day to end post-race recovery week yesterday, little walk to keep active, scale is being nice at the moment, all my race/shark week water weight is off and then some. Today's goals are to get my meal prep done for the week, making some pan fried chicken and quinoa salad for lunches and salmon fishcakes for a couple of dinners. Looking forward to tonight's leftover Saag Paneer this evening, it's relatively low calorie but very tasty
18/09 Quite heavy on the carbs/calories yesterday but still under maintenance, naturally there is a bit of a scale rise with the volume in food, also didn't get much fibre in on Sunday. Had a lovely row before work today 6km with a bit of sun before the rain started for the day. Goal for today is to get my steps in, as drove to/from work yesterday due to weather and this morning and cut my streak short booo!
19/09 Food was a bit all over the place yesterday, but again under maintenance, got a bit of walking in and got over my step goal so the streak starts again, blustery walk into work this morning, definitely blew the cobwebs away Goals for today - prelog next couple of days food, focus on protein & fibre and step goal 11 -

9/15 - no weigh in. I forgot about it this morning until I had already eaten. Plan is to not eat after 5pm, try to get a good sleep tonight and than back to better eating (@ calorie goal) and exercise tomorrow.
9/16 - 255.6...a lot of bad food for a lot of days. Plan for today is to fast (which will be hard because I've woken up hungry), reset and get to the gym tonight.
9/17...?? Completely missed yesterday
9/18 - 256.6...yesterday was ok, not the best food choices but stayed under calories (with eating my exercise back), 80 mins of walking, 100 oz of water. TOM showed up this morning.

’m back in and a little late to this round! Been a rough few months and have gained back what I had lost. Had surgery and have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Knowing how the thyroid effects metabolism, I realize I’m in for an uphill battle. I love this challenge and appreciate the support and accountability that it offers!
