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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
9/29 -- 175.5 -- Drank a ton of water yesterday and ate well. Also took a walk and did a killer water aerobics workout. Hoping this number sticks!
9/30 -- 176.5 -- Sigh. Got up and went to zumba yesterday and had a bonus 80 minutes (instead of 60). Happy hour at a neighbors for dinner. Stuck to low carb stuff and 1.5 glasses of red wine. Ate back some but not all of exercise calories. Not surprised that I'm up a little. I feel a bit bloated. We will see what happens tomorrow.
10/1 -- 176.5 -- Not much exercise yesterday. Was doing well....and then went our for sushi. Only a bit over calories, but the rice probably threw things off a bit. Exercised a bunch this morning and already > 15000 steps, so hoping tomorrow looks better!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25- 188.9- was a little disappointed this didn't go down since yesterday but I'm really motivated to see the numbers go down tomorrow! Will make sure to plan and eat under calories today!
9/26- 190.1-I had rice last night. And I tend to go up on the scale any time I have rice. Will try to avoid and this better go down tomorrow. Tonight I have everything planned. Definitely not going to go back to the 190s. Hell no.
9/27- 188.3- Thank god. Did really well yesterday. Even had a slice of pizza but still under calories. Going to try to eat healthier tonight and still be under my calories. So far so good. Really want to reach my goal for this challenge. Also I'm going to the gym today after my vacation so that's good. I'm excited. I'm seeing my friends tomorrow to watch a movie but we all said we want to eat healthy so hopefully that works out.
9/28- 188.2- Wanted this to go down more since I was under my calories yesterday but I'm happy it didn't go up or something. Going in the right direction. Mini victory: Yesterday my mom made rice with kofta and I love rice but I decided to make some broccoli (which I also love) so I filled my plate with mostly broccoli and just a couple spoons of rice as well as kofta. And I stopped eating once I felt full which happened fast since the broccoli is satiating for me. That definitely helped me not fluctuate up this morning. Also I worked out yesterday. Strength training and cardio but I got tired faster than I did before vacation so have to build up to not being like that again. Crazy how quickly we can become unfit! Plans got cancelled today with friends so I'm planning on eating healthy today again!And want to be under calories so I see the scale budge more than it did today.
9/29- 187.7- woohoo! Haven't been this low in a while. Want to keep it going. Will stay under calories today even though it's the weekend! I'm determined. Also I'm still sore from working out. But will exercise today.
9/30- 186.8- yayy! Really happy about this. I've really been controlling myself. Yesterday, my mom and brother got something to eat when we went to Costco- I refused. Stayed under calorie goal yesterday. REALLY want to reach 185. It's my mini goal and I'm making good progress! I hope this doesn't stagger! Will try to be good today as well. So far so good. I've saved up some calories since I know I'm having a bigger dinner. Been snacking on blackberries and strawberries. Feeling pretty good. Will go to the gym tomorrow.
10/1- 186.8- definitely happy that this didn't go up because i was A LITTLE bit naughty yesterday but still under my calories. But my mom told me to get her and my brother a burger with fries and a drink since she hadn't eaten all day and she told me to get myself something too and I looked up the calories and everything was way too much to fit under my calorie goal so I just decided not to get anything at all! Not to toot my own horn, but I'm really proud about that. I would have never turned down opportunities to eat out before but I've really been trying hard to be good to myself instead of making a bad choice and making myself go through the whole self-loathing battle. Going to go to the gym today and planning to stay under calories! So far so good. Hopefully tomorrow we'll see a loss.

9/25 / 220.2
9/26/ 220 / Life is crazy. Dealing with fallout from husband's cancer diagnosis (latest word that it may be benign! Fingers crossed!) and the resulting crazy uncertainty.
9/27 / 219.6 / So tired.
9/28 / 218.8 / I exercised a TON yesterday, though I'll admit that it was partially so I could have some cake. Sometimes, I just want some cake. I did a workout at a higher level than ever before (3 sets instead of 5) and feel a bit smug at my progress. I'm still tired today, and I don't have more news, but I don't feel quite so sick tired as I did yesterday. Progress!
9/29 / 219
9/30 / 218.8 / Exercised a lot of minutes again yesterday while watching stressful baseball games.
10/1 / 218.6 / BENIGN! There is still an outstanding pathology report, but the doctors say that's just a formality, generally. So my husband does not have a form of rare cancer, he has an even rarer form of benign tumor. I keep going from elated to bawling!

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.
9/25 130.5
9/26 131.5
9/27 130.5
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.
9/29 132.5 We met friends from out of town for dinner last night. It was several hours later than we usually eat. I had a salad and steak, both of which were very good. But eating late is not a good thing. I’m up 2# but know that it will pass in the next couple of days.
9/30 132.0 Did not drink enough water yesterday but had 40 oz of diet soda! I wanted “something” but made myself bloated and miserable rather than eating food I didn’t need. I think it’s a win. DH wants to ”go for a drive.” Several hours in the car and eating out.
10/1 132.5 WOW, I’m really late posting today. Yesterday’s drive through the Virgin River Gorge was beautiful. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger salad for lunch. I wish it had been a patty on the salad rather than crumbled but it was what it was. I have been craving salad for about a week and finally bought the stuff to make one then went out to eat and got one. Tonight - egg roll in a bowl!!9 -
I’m 59, female, mostly plant based, and lover of outdoors. This is my fourth round; the first one really kept me accountable, the second one was an eye-opener and the third one was really hard. What I have learned: 1) my foods and the amounts really matter; 2) My tracking needs to be accurate and if I eat it, it needs to be tracked; 3) Don’t let a slip turn into an all-out landslide! This round’s goals: no eating after supper (and eat at the table, not in front of the TV), no trigger foods, get back up when I fall, develop a “fall” work-out plan (by 10/1/18), and to stay up-to-date with my Bible study. Honor God with my food choices!

9/25/18 – No weigh in
9/26/18 – No weigh in
9/27/18 – No weigh in. I was considering skipping this round. I’ve been in a funk and am trying to get out. Back in the game! 20 mile bike ride on an awesome bike trial!
9/28/18 – 123.4 / Still trying to find my way!
9/29/18 – 122.4 / time was tight and I ended up walking on the treadmill yesterday during a conference call! Fish fry last night (baked cod), but I did have French fries! 60 minutes of water aerobics this morning and an additional walk planned before the rain comes!
9/30/18 – 124.4 / Got a lot of steps in yesterday (20,000+) and a water aerobics class. Had popcorn last night (homemade) and that usually bring my weight up, so it’s expected. Hopefully tomorrow it’s back down. Fighting a headache today and because of that I’m fighting cravings for junk foods. Being accountable to this with you all and praying for strength. Have a great Sunday!
10/1/18 – 125 / I don’t quite get it. I’m going to concentrate on getting more water in each day. My weight fluctuations are showing me how much even a little cheating affects me. I know some of the foods aren’t good for me, but … Today is October 1 and I picked my Beachbody fitness routine for this month. Since I road bike a lot from the time it gets somewhat warm to the end of October, I wanted to start back at the basics in terms of strength. P90 or Power 90 have worked well in the past … good ‘ole standbys! In November I’m going to attempt the new program LIIFT. It intimates me, so I want to build up a good base this month before attempting anything else. Tonight is water aerobics – love that class!😊

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.
9/29--216.0 Didn't go to the gym yesterday. When I got home from work I found the pallet containing my bathroom tiles delivered near my condo door. My husband hadn't come home from work yet so I spent about 30-45 mins moving the heavy tiles into the condo. I lost any small motivation I had at the time to go to the gym. Today I am taking my dog on a hike with my hiking group and then we are going out to lunch...you have to take advantage of any nice days you can get at this time of the year. I may be running around and doing some errands later depending on how I feel after the hike.
9/30--216.4 Lunch yesterday and I drank very little water on yesterday's hike. When I hike I forget to drink water, I'm so focussed on the hike I find that unless it's really hot out I don't drink as much water when I hike. Going out today to look for some paint for the bathroom and then doing some chores around the house, it's supposed to be rainy today. Trending weight is still going downward!
10/1--216.9 Did not drink a lot of water yesterday. Still working on getting my fiber levels up. Zumba tonight.

Day/Weight/Comment
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 trackbut 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
9/30 - 84.2kg??????? Water weight? TOM? Very big dinner (still under 1200cals for day!) I’m sure it’ll come back down soon but it was disheartening to see, and I really wanted to just quit and eat terrible food for breakfast. Staying strong and sticking to IF though!! Good thing I packed a salad for work lunch
10/1 - 82.3kg, still going well with IF. I weighed myself later in the day yesterday and was at 82.2kg which is much better than the morning weigh in!!!! Consistently staying under 1200cals too
10/2 - 82kg !!!!!! I was so happy to see this on the scales this morning! It’s put me in a really great mindset and I just want to keep working towards my goal. I think I’ve struggled in the past to stick to this because I’m not seeing any immediate changes but weighing in every day is helping so much, and I know that IF/CICO is working

In all, I want to drop 55 (so I have 51 and a half left now). I'm 5'6" and started weighing 185 lbs, so my goal is about 130. I'm trying to set small, realistic goals so that I can motivate myself with my successes.
My goal for this round is to stay under my calorie goal, 1200, and to lose 3 more pounds.
Round 53: SW: 185 EW: 182 (3 lbs lost)
Round 54: SW: 181.5:
Goal Weight for Round 54: 178.5
Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 181.5; 48 oz of water. 1,000 calories. I’M HUNGRY!!!!
9/26 - 181.2; Didn’t do very well on water intake today, but managed to consume only 1,000 calories. Keto diet is going well, eating lots of fat and around 20 grams of carbs.
9/27 - 182; Ugh. 128 oz of water. Purposely went over my calorie goal today to give my body a sort of restart. 31 grams of carbs. 1,779 calories.
9/28 - Still 182. 1 gallon of water. Ate slightly under 1,121 calories. 16 grams of carbs. Really frustrating that I can’t lose. Trying not to get too discouraged.
9/29 - Yay! Went down to 180.8 today!! Ate slightly under 1200 calories. About 1 gallon of water. 13 grams of carbs. Still only in moderate ketosis, but I honestly feel I am dong well about carb intake and being honest about what I’m eating, so hopefully my body will catch up soon.
9/30 - I’m so discouraged!!! Back up to 182.2.Ate 12 grams of carbs, under 1200 calories. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m gonna start exercising Monday to see if that will kickstart my immune system.
10/1 - Didn’t weight today. Drank a gallon of water. Ran a mile. 23 grams of carbs. 1300 calories.

09/25: 249.4 - I'm not sleeping well lately. I think it's nerves from looking for a job after being a stay at home mom for so long. I woke up groggy and sore today. I have an interview tomorrow with a staffing agency and I hope it goes well. Also, I had a chicken fajita salad last night and it was delicious. I'm going to have that more often.
09/26: 249.8 - Strength training water retention. Not worried about the slight gain at all. I had an interview this morning and they want a second interview this afternoon. I hope this is a good sign! Hopefully I will be returning to the workforce by Monday! Thanks you guys for wishing me luck!
09/27: 250.6 - Wretched scale! Lol I ate really late last night and unexpected guests nicely brought subs for everyone. I was good though and only had a 6 inch. Unfortunately, it was smothered in mayo. I tried static stretching yesterday and it felt great but I'm a little sore today. I think I'm going to go light on food today and drink lots of water. I have my final weigh-in for the September Fat2Fit challenge and hopefully the scale drops a bit before then.
09/28: 250 - I think I'm getting sick, and TOM coming up.
09/29: 250.2 - I seriously hate water retention lol. I made some amazingly delicious turkey legs last night and ate them with stuffing and corn. It was fantastic but full of sodium. I can't wait till my next whoosh. Thank you for all the congrats on the job, I love the support in this group. You all so amazing!
09/30: 249.2 - I hope this means the water retention is passing. I start work Monday and hate that I'm going to be sick my first day.
10/01: 250.8 - First day of work and I'm so happy to finally be home with my kids.

9/25 177.6 I'm going to the dentist today. 😬 I'm hoping to still get 10,000 steps today!
9/26 176.4 My trip to the dentist was a little easier than I expected! And not only did I get 10,000 steps yesterday but I surpassed it! I ended the day at 11,289 which is great for a day off. I have to be really intentional about it on days off. I'm happy with it.
9/27 177.2 Water weight? I was under on calories yesterday.
9/28 177.6 Alright now...😒 I can tell that TOM is coming because I'm craving chocolate and sweets like crazy! I was able to have some chocolate yesterday and still be under calories. My son joined me in my evening walk last night which was nice!
9/29 177.6 I’m slightly annoyed by this number but I’m trying not to be. I know that I’m about to start TOM. It’s just frustrating when you’re consistently under calories and exercising. Hopefully in another couple of days it’ll start going back down again.
9/30 176.8 Well that surprised me a little! I went to a wedding after work last night and I guesstimated on calories of the food that I ate. I even had a cupcake! Being gluten intolerant, I mostly assume that there’s not going to be anything gluten free at events. But these guys had a gluten free table set up, and even had some gluten free vegan cupcakes! It’s not often I get to have something like that, so I went for it and had one!
I did not like my reaction to yesterday’s weigh in. You see, I’m not used to daily weigh ins, this is my first time doing this challenge. I had to take a step back and remind myself to look at the big picture and to not get upset over just a few days. This is a life long journey! Keep up the work and change will happen!
10/1 175.8 Another surprise but I'll happily take it! I was so stressed and tired after work yesterday that all I wanted to do was rest. So I did.
I'm excited for this new month and I'm excited to keep the progress going! Let's finish this year strong!

9/25 / 220.2
9/26/ 220 / Life is crazy. Dealing with fallout from husband's cancer diagnosis (latest word that it may be benign! Fingers crossed!) and the resulting crazy uncertainty.
9/27 / 219.6 / So tired.
9/28 / 218.8 / I exercised a TON yesterday, though I'll admit that it was partially so I could have some cake. Sometimes, I just want some cake. I did a workout at a higher level than ever before (3 sets instead of 5) and feel a bit smug at my progress. I'm still tired today, and I don't have more news, but I don't feel quite so sick tired as I did yesterday. Progress!
9/29 / 219
9/30 / 218.8 / Exercised a lot of minutes again yesterday while watching stressful baseball games.
10/1 / 218.6 / BENIGN! There is still an outstanding pathology report, but the doctors say that's just a formality, generally. So my husband does not have a form of rare cancer, he has an even rarer form of benign tumor. I keep going from elated to bawling!
