9/25 155.6 well well well, look who decided to show lol. So apparently my mind can't adjust fast enough to my new weight (especially because I thinks it's the fastest I have ever lost) so being apart of a few groups I accidently weighed in last weekend at 166.6 instead of 156.6 😣😣 oops. Well you are all witnesses to the proof I have of my actual weight lol. But even still, every morning I still have to check 3 or 4 times because I can't believe it. Hopefully the next 10 pounds won't be as unbelievable.

9/26 154.4 whoooooooooosh!! Why, no clue. I did work out hard yesterday but still... wow. Today I have been having some anxiety. I have worked out hard and have been eating normally. I don't starve and I don't deny myself (unless it's super junk food, then that's all will power) I know mentally I have been doing everything right and my quick weight loss is all activity and portion control....but I'm starting to feel scared. I'm scared that it will be so easy to gain it all back if I jump the wagon again..I'm scared of having to do this again for 10000 time if i slack. I am looking forward to improve and not be re set into my old ways but who knows what the future holds. The only reassurance I have is not all my rounds have been perfect and weeks like last week have happened ( I was so hungry all week and pretty much had the worst eating week since I have started) but my gains haven't been too large and I still end it with losses. I am assuming as long as I never binge again I will be fine...but I don't know.

9/27 154.4 holding steady. I had munchies last night but settled for 2 pieces of dark chocolate. Worked out well but didn't do as much as I wanted. Drank 1.2 liters of water. I am feeling bloated though, 2 days away from TOM. Today I went to the hospital with my aunt, she has some inflammation in her leg and we just wanted to check it out, just in case (she is a cancer survivor so anything becomes worrisome) and to thank me for coming out she took me to a pub where we ordered chicken schnitzel and frites..it was delicious but I know it will negatively reflect on my weight tomorrow morning. Oops😞😞

9/28 154 wow. Didn't expect this. I guess I didn't do as much damage as I thought. TOM is due tomorrow and I usually expect a gain but this time hasn't seemed too bad which is kind of weird. Well see what happens tomorrow

Day/Weight/Comment

9/25--217.1 I First time in over a week I've gotten back to my normal water drinking levels.
9/26--216.4 Back to my pre-trip weight and trend weight. Tonight is yoga, I haven't gone in 2 weeks, I so need it. I've been thinking about getting back into weightlifting, since I have stopped going to my kettlebell club. I recently moved and the club changed it's class schedule, so it's just not convenient anymore. I'm going to get a 3 day pass from a nearby gym and try it out and see if I like it, if not there are a couple of other gyms that I can try out. I'm not a big gym person, but I do want to lift weights again and this gym also has an indoor pool which is nice too.
9/27--216.0 Did some snacking last night even though I wasn't hungry. It was definitely stress related. I knew what I was doing while I was snacking, but it was almost as if I couldn't stop myself. It was weird...almost like an out of body experience. Luckily I had eaten pretty well during the day such that the extra snacking only put me over my daily calories by less than 500. Positives for yesterday was that at least I recognized what I was doing and I curtailed the amount of damage done. Today is a new day.
9/28--216.2 Still with a downward trend. Going to try out the gym today with the free pass.

Round 54 (#18)

I typically don't set goals because I find myself sabotaging them. Stupid, I know, but it's true. Challenge goal:
9/25: 132.4, date last night. Grilled chicken, fingerling potatoes with red bell pepper and sweet onion, and wilted spinach. The rose was delicious.

9/26: 131.8, ran myself leaner at work yesterday. Crazy, busy, non-stop.

9/27: 131.8, beer after work at the pub. Good food day with a LNS of grapes.

9/28: 133.8, excellent example of fluid retention after consuming too much sodium and sugar. Fat loss or gain is a trend which is measured over time. Daily weight changes are the result of fluid retention and release.

I forgot to mention, I GOT THE JOB GUYS! I start Monday and they gave me the hours I want so I don't have to be gone constantly and can still enjoy my kids! It's only part time but I'm so excited!

Hi. I'm in. I was planning on starting last round, but then realized I was going to be out of town for most of it with no scale. So this time I'm in.

9/25 -- 177 --Pretty good day yesterday. Met calorie and exercise goals, but succumbed to the peach coffee cake my husband made over the weekend and ate a whole piece instead of just a bite.
9/26 -- 177 --Again ok on the exercise and calorie front. But the carbs lost to a really nice milk stout....
9/27 -- 177.5 -- And again. Hit the exercise, missed by a little on the calories. Big fancy meal out with my husband and had a small dessert. Over on carbs again. But the next 7 days I should be out of excuses...and my fitbit is up and running again
9/28 -- 176.5 -- YAY! Walk, water aerobics and zumba yesterday. Ate back some exercise calories and only a little high on net carbs.

9/28, 221, I'm really not sure how I'm losing weight. I average 1500 calories a day and almost always go over my calorie goal. I have switched to healthier calories though. Frozen grapes and dark chocolate are my main desserts. I'm using half the amount of dressing that I usually use on salads. I've been having salads for lunch. I also try to walk a mile while at work. I'm also saving money now that I'm eating out less. It doesn't seem like much so I'm surprised at the difference it's made. Losing weight is usually so much harder than this, it doesn't feel real at all. At this rate I might reach onederland by January!!! That would be so amazing, just gotta keep working at it.

@LonniJay, Congrats on getting the job! Now that stress on you is relieved, especially the fact that you can work the hours you want and still have time in your children's lives. Always a concern for Moms.

9/25 - removed due to technical issue with scales
9/26 - 83.0kg, successfully fasted for 16.5hrs! I think this weigh in is on the lower end of my fluctuations where yesterday was on the upper end. It’s motivating regardless
9/27 - 82.5kg, just over 3hours left of my second 16hr fast! I’ve been weighing myself at different times of the day so getting a lot of variation. It’s great to see the scale to go down but I’m not holding onto these lower numbers just yet. The past two days I’ve weighed myself after eating, but today was before eating, so perhaps the first weigh-in was over?
9/28 - 82.8kg, weighed first thing this morning. I have just over 4hrs left of my fast, really loving IF! I have my period so I imagine some bloating is factoring in, but not too concerned, it’s a slow process and I trust it
9/29 - 82.6kg, I broke my fast two hours early yesterday and ate food that was really hard to track but that ended up being all I ate yesterday so I still think I would have been under 1200cals. I am 100% sure my first weigh in was inaccurately high, after I’ve discovered a technical issue with my scales. So I’m going to remove that first one and just go off 9/26

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

9/28 130.5 Went with a friend as her guest, to the gym yesterday. Walked on treadmill 30 minutes and got 184% of steps. Went to water fitness today.

Hi! I’m 5’3” and currently 187. I’m trying keto and low calorie and would like to drop at least 10 by Oct 13th.
Round 51...My Round 1
9/27 weight: 187, I did well today on my calories (under 1000) and my carbs (under 30) it was mostly due to a high stress day but I’ll take it over any late-night bingeing!
9/28 I didn’t weigh myself this morning and I know if I do it late I’ll be heavier will weigh in tomorrow. I’m logging a little early because I’m going to be busy tonight. I’ve had a good few days so far sticking to my plan. Tonight I’m going to an Octoberfest so I am gearing up for some beer-peer pressure! Wish me luck!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 - 140. Yay! I've been waiting for this number for a few days. Happy to see it and trying not to celebrate it with a whole box of cheesy crackers!
9/26 - 140. Happy to see this number stick around. There was a bottle of champagne in my fridge purchased a few weeks ago ready for hitting 140. I enjoyed a glass last night, but didn't feel obligated to finish the bottle. I'm very hopeful that I'll see the 130s this round and so glad for this challenge that has helped me make it this far.
9/27 - 141. Whoops, wrong way. I went through a whole series of emotions in the past 4 hours based on that one little number. My immediate response was a really childish and grumpy "oh well, who cares, I'm going to go eat a snack, this scale isn't the boss of me." As the morning passed (so very much not a morning person, things always get better as the day wears on), I've decided that this number was exactly what I needed to see today. I've been getting sloppy and indulgent in the past few days. I'm lucky to have a body that almost always immediately shows small losses and gains based on my recent behavior and quickly shows me when I need to get my act together. So thanks, body, for the feedback, I'm going to follow my plan with more precision.
9/28 - 141. Well, now that 141 came back for a few days, I can look forward to the excitement of hitting 140 all over again.
