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

9/29 155.8 and whoooosh back up again 😥😥😫😥 that's ok, I expected this given my TOM arrived and I am feeling crazy bloated. Yesterday I had a high sodium day as well so that definitley has something to do with it. Past couple of days haven't been great in the eating department but I am done all my responsibilities that have been derailing me so back at it today and back to regular schedule. I feel like the past two weeks have been weird so I am changing it from here on out to get back in control and stop laxing...and now that my TOM has arrived I have no excuse. Honestly I don't even care about my weight...at all I just don't want to feel bloated and puggy anymore lol... ackkkk what a day. I also am going to have to work on my mentality. I am not being negative but I am starting to feel more obsessed when I need to exchange that for greatfulness.
For example if I get in an hour and a half of cardio and no strength for the day, I need to stop giving myself a hard time because I don't think it's enough. I have to accept there aren't enough hours in the day. I have been finding that if I don't work out for 3+ hours I give myself issues...but after doing the math it just isn't possible without sacrificing eating or sleeping...so that needs to stop.

9/30 no scale. Had to get up and go grocery shopping with my mom and wasn't able to weigh in. I originally wanted to, to keep myself accountable because I had a big binge day yesterday 😣😣 wasn't good at all and got very little exercise in. So far today I have been good (probably because I am still full from yesterday's binge) but we will have to see how it reflects on my weight for tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great weekend though 😄

10/1 156.8 yikes. This weekend's binge was awful. I was good yesterday but Saturday I definitley over did it... a lot. I couldn't stop eating. I did work out yesterday a bit, was walking a good portion of the day and drank 1 liter of water. Once again back at it again. No more sabotage. It's a new month and the start of a new week ☺ In the past this would have crippled my mood, even if I known it is completely my fault but this time I am looking ahead. It's over and done with...onwards and downwards lol

In again for Round 54
Round 5 For me.
Goal this Round 269

Ultimate Goal 190

9/25 -276 lbs (No Change) These night time munchies are killing me. I do well all day then kill it after dinner. Its a real tough time. I have to get out of this mindset. Will work on other options to keep my munch monster at bay.


9/26 – (No Scale) Out of town for a few days. Staying on track yesterday and so far today all is well. Business trips make it difficult sometimes to stay with a routine. Determined to stay with this.

9/27 )(No Scale) Still holding to the program. Subway salads have become a staple for dinner lately. Easy to find one anywhere out of town. Switched from munching on peanuts when hungry to grapes. Don't know how that's going to work out. Guess I'll see in a few days.

9/28 (No Scale) Repeat of yesterday. Finally got home this morning but too late to weigh in so tomorrow morning I will see if any drop has occurred. Sure hope so because its getting difficult to keep this up. It should not be this way. Not being very active I am sure does not help anything. Ok no more negativity! I can see a difference in waist size by taking in a notch on the belt. Thats a good thing.

9/29 – 272 (-4 lbs) Well thats some improvement. Went out of town for three days and managed to lose weight. I usually either gain or maintain anytime I am away from home and outside my normal routine. Subway salads are my out of town dinners these days.

9/30 -271 (-1 lb) Yeah! I just may make it to my goal for this challenge. Sure will be nice to get out of this decade. It's been a while. Hanging on!!

10/01 -272 (+1 lb) Welcome to October. Ok its the after dinner snacking thats getting me. Time to put on the brakes full stop. No more anything after dinner. Zip, Nada, Zilch. This is a really bad habit that has to be ended! Hungry? Drink water! Have a good week everyone.

This round is week 2 of my dietitian-designed 6-8 week anti-inflammation elimination diet. Sticking to it and feeling much better already!

Goals:
Food ~~ Follow anti-inflammation elimination diet - learn new food tricks!
Exercise ~~ rebuild to 60-90 minutes/day of walking/swimming; restart weight training & yoga when joint pain subsides.
Weight ~~ no goal - happy anywhere between 130-140 for now, but continuing to lose to 130 would be great.

UGW - ~130-140

Day/Weight/Calories Day Before/Comment

9/25 - 136.8 - 1186
Rainy day today, but I'm feeling enough better (no more joint pain!) to restart weight training, so off to the gym. The clothing purge continues as I break out the fall and winter clothes. I just sadly realized that my raincoat, which I love, is way too big. So sad -- NOT! Happy day, all!

9/26 - 135.2 - 1309
Blow me over with a feather! I weighed myself 4 times with a scale reset to be sure this was right. Came out the same every time! I am trying to add some calories, but I'm also back to walking more. Anyway, I'm thinking my dream goal of 130 isn't impossible after all. I wish I knew which food I've eliminated has helped revive my downward trajectory. It can't all be water (although I feel much less puffy and didn't even know I was puffy). Keep at it, all - absolutely worth the effort!

9/27 - 135.6 - 1305
Okay, 35+ wasn't a fluke. I had more sodium than usual yesterday, so all good.

9/28 - 135.2 - 1111
Third time's a charm, so I guess it's real. I've finished the prednisone and feel great. I'm hoping to do some gardening this afternoon - I have a rose I want to move. Gorgeous morning! Have a lovely weekend, all!

9/29 - 135.6 - 1221
Beautiful autumn day here - going for a long walk! Enjoy, all!

9/30 - 135.4 - 1042
Rainy morning, but hopefully a nice afternoon. Lower-than-ideal calories yesterday, but I'm averaging around 1210, so it's ok. We had baked cod for dinner, which means low cals but stuffed. I hope you all have a lovely, healthful Sunday!

10/1 - 137.2 (rolling ave 135.8) - 1376 (10-day ave 1225)
Well, this bump is another little mystery of weight loss/maintenance. My calories were a little higher, but well within my TDEE (maintenance) estimates by MFP and SailRabbit. Water no doubt, but weird. I'll be interested to see what it does tomorrow.

9/25 - Tuesday - 183.8 - Back at it after taking last round off. Was feeling down about a few days of increased scale numbers due to "taking a weekend off" and TOM. Took a few days to remind myself that the scale is just data, not judgement. It was a bit of struggle to eat well during this time - the comfort food cravings have been strong. But last nights NSV came when I revamped my grocery list to be a little more veggie centric. Got my low carb wraps for lunch again rather than sub rolls - chicken and ground turkey instead of red meat and more red meat, and avoided most of the desserts. I'm being more mindful of overeating - I didnt need the last piece of pizza I ate last night, but I had logged it so I felt justified - today I'm acknowledging that I overate beyond my feeling of fullness. This round I really just want to revamp habits that have been working for me and start trusting the process again - Wake up early, drink shake, take fish oil, lots of water at work, AM meds, eat packed lunch, have a 3pm snack, pm meds, cook dinner at home, take fish oil, walk dog, get a good nights sleep.

9/26 - Wednesday - 183.8 - A good day yesterday! Listened to my hunger cues - lunch was not appealing - ate most of my calories later on in the day but did not overeat! Gave last 1/4 of my burger to DH! Forgot fish oil but the habit is improving. Lots of water, need to get on that today! Dinner at parents house tonight - mom is a healthy cook so just need to reign in my portions and log the best I can. Visualizing 182 sticking around this round!

9/27 - Thursday - 181.0 - Had some tummy troubles over night so not exactly sure this number will stick around. But I ate smart yesterday - enjoyed a little of everything at my moms. Had to stay up late due to flood warnings and slept terrible. So morning habits went out the window, no breakfast, no lunch packed. But I did get up nice and early despite my exhaustion - it will definitely be a bed early kind of night!

9/28 - Friday - 180.0 - Migraine yesterday from 10a-2p made me skip lunch entirely. Had to lay down for 20 minutes because it was so bad I thought I was going to yak. Yikes. All from not having coffee first thing?! Taco bell breakfast yesterday and again this morning - coming into work earlier means being hungry more, so need to get back to protein shake for breakfast. Struggling to take fish oil - just not making it a priority and I need to. Also need lots of water today or I'll be sorry. I can feel the migraine lingering waiting to pounce the second Im dehydrated. Today by BMI standards I am overweight not obese! Adding in another short term goal for 170.0 by 2019!

9/29 - Saturday - 181.4 - Raviolis for dinner last night. Slow morning - did a few chores and had a big brunch. Headed out for a hike mid afternoon. About 4 miles total, 1.5hrs of climbing. Rented two movies and got an early dinner at Papa ginos - it mostly fit my calories for the day with all the activity!

9/30 - Sunday - 183.6 - Sodium and sore muscles! Lingering sinus headache but managing it well. Out for a mystery drive today - started with a cliff bar. Went to the dog park and then ended up at a country store for a late lunch, split a turkey sandwich with DH and couldnt resist splitting a cookie either. Took the most glorious afternoon cat nap in the sun and felt an overwhelming sense of peace, calm and gratitude for life. Parents invited us out for impromtu sushi date - we shared a boat, which was awesome because more sashimi, less maki meant for better macros. I wanted ice cream on the way home but DH said we should pass since we already had a cookie today, looks like the healthy habits are rubbing off on him too!

10/1 - Monday - 183.6 - No gain from yesterday so I'm cool with that! Lots of water today and I'm hoping to flush out the rest of the sodium. Lingering sinus headache still - golden rod is killing me. BUSY month coming up! My last first 29th birthday! Two sets of visitors staying with us. A big Halloween party with the best pot luck food ever. Soooo I'll definitely have to do some planning and be mindful this month while still enjoying life. (Sunday tech troubles - The app logged me out and now I cant log back in on mobile grrr)

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 DNW Holy Moley, I had to leave super early for a work issue and didn't weigh, definitely subconsciously skipped the weigh in on purpose since I ate over 2000 calories yesterday, full disclosure. We will see what tomorrow looks like!
9/26 150.8 Second day of eating whatever, it was my daughter's birthday and I made quite the spread. Broke my no second's rule, indulged in warm fresh birthday donuts for dessert...plan for today through end of round is low carb. We are celebrating again on Friday with 40+ people and she requested a Southern menu, any recipes out there for brisket? I have never made it.
9/27 150.2 Good day eating, low carb higher protein, walked the hill, same plan for today. Thank you everyone for the support, and welcome to all the new people! It's a great, supportive group!
9/28 149.4 Still feeling the bloat and general discomfort of the 2 days of eating without tracking, but yesterday was good. Tonight 40+ people at my house for my daughter's birthday, Brisket, Ribs, Mac and Cheese, Green Beans, Cornbread, Salad, and her favorite Napoleon for dessert on the menu per her request. Not my normal cooking style, but it's looking tasty. Salad for me, I plan on front loading my lean protein before the function so I can just cook/mingle/hold babies and not eat! Countdown 1 week to Maui!
9/29 DNW and did not track :-(
9/30 151 Going backwards this round, I have lost focus. NSV's though I have been walking our hill 7 days a week (this is a 3 mile loop, about 40 stories according to my fitbit) It is easy for me now 2 months in, and finally getting easier for my hunny who started a month ago. Hoping to add a second loop when we get back from Maui. Back on track today (Sunday), putting the past behind me and moving forward. Too many goodies in the house and I did not resist. I threw it all away and the house is safe again. Whew.

10/1 WEIGH IN DAY 149.2 At least I am back below 150, but I still have some work to do. I started logging my food on Fitbit instead of MFP and am going to use the fitbit calorie goals instead for the rest of this round, they adjust according to my activity. Same end result I am seeking but new method, trying to keep focus. Maui in 4 days! Can't wait to eat fish!!

Starting weight on Monday (9/24) 177LBS

9/25- 175.4 Hit the gym and lifted weights, kept cals. in check for the day, feeling good!

9/26 -174.6 Hit the gym again for cardio trying to make it a habit so I went Mon, Tues and Wed so far this week. Will be going tomorrow as well for weight training.

9/27- 174.2 Hit the gym again this morning (4am), weight training and intervals on the treadmill. Eating went well again yesterday stayed the course. I need some rest, so no gym tomorrow morning. I will make an effort to get up and move while at work though. 

9/28- 173.2 No gym truly needed the rest after 4 consecutive days, will walk for 30mins at lunch today. Also, will be back at the gym tomorrow for weight training/cardio. Feeling pretty good, but the weekend scares me as that's where I usually fall off. My goal for this weekend is to at least maintain this current weight till Monday.

9/29- 173.2 Made it to the gym for weight training and cardio first thing this morning, unfortunately I don't have a plan for eating but I may do grocery shopping today for some healthy options. My goal is to at least maintain 173.2lb until Monday

9/30- 173.2 Not sure how I managed to be 173.2 again especially considering I haven't made the best food choices this weekend, but I'll take it. No gym or treadmill today, to much to do, but I will be at it in the morning. Really hoping I have maintained at least 173.2 on Monday morning weigh-in.

10/1- 173.2 I made it 173.2 again today probably because I didn't pay much attention to macros this weekend pretty much ate at maintenance or a little above. I am happy with this because I had been on a cycle of gaining tons of water weight (probably fat also) during the weekends, then working it off on the weekday. At least now I don't have to feel like I'm starting over. No gym today still a bit soar decided to just get rest will be at tomorrow morning for weight training/cardio. Goal today is at least 10K steps.

***My goal is to be at least 165 by my b-day 10/30

Hi you all! I finished the previous challenge which I couldn't lose weight but weigh myself every day and try to control myself. That was something to start. In this challenge, my aim is to REALLY control myself. My goals are:
*Not to eat junk food
*Drink alcohol max 3 glasses in 10 days (if possible no drink because of reflux)
*Go to the gym 6 times in 10 days
*Drink enough water
*Don't drink coffee for a while (because of reflux)


9/25
I forgot to weigh myself today, because of being late to the work... But yesterday I drank a little alcohol and ate too many carbs (pasta...), not a good day.
9/26 85.9 kg (189.3 lbs)
Failed too soon. I ate Nutella with a spoon and it wasn't enough I ate a whole chocolate bar. Don't know why I'm doing this... And I'm very busy and tired these days with work, for this reason, I cannot go to the gym. If I've been motivated enough I believe I could go, but I'm not yet... I hope today I won't disappoint myself.
9/27 85.7 kg (188.9 lbs)
Yay! I hope I get rid of 86's at last! Yesterday was good, no junk food and alcohol. However, I couldn't go to the gym. I was busy all day and really exhausted.
9/28 85.5 kg (188.4 lbs)
Yes, this is the right way. I'm really happy I'm kinda getting better. Yesterday night even I was tired I went to the gym. I didn't eat junk food or drink alcohol. However, I always eat carbs. I'm a vegetarian and so it's kinda hard to decrease carbs, but I don't have to eat bread all day...
9/29
I didn't weight myself this day, because I was sick because of drinking too much alcohol...
9/30 85.9 kg (189.3 lbs)
Not surprising, because of the other day I drank too much...
10/1 86 kg (189.5 lbs)
Yesterday was good actually. I woke up early and went to the gym and did some housework. Diet was kinda ok, didn't eat junk food and didn't drink alcohol.
