Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 71kg
9/26 71kg
9/27 70.5kg - YES!
9/28 71.4kg
9/29 - 72.1kg on sister's scale
9/30 - no scale
10/1 - 72kg
10/2 -71kg
10/3 - DNW
10/4 - 72kd - ugh, TOM started yesterday with cramps and being miserable, ate what I wanted in the eve, went over cals, almost ate my cals in snacks no exercise apart from my steps. What a meh day. Still feeling miserable, but working from home today and will go for a short run at lunch. Not logging today as I need to satisfy my cravings. Bring on the new round for new motivation! Honestly, without this group, I would just call it a day on counting cals, but I know it's ok to have days like this, even after a travel weekend and things will pick up again. Thanks for always setting up the new rounds and keeping us all on track, @GrandmaJackie
Next round I'll rach my goal for sure.

9/25 99.2 I've been away for a few rounds while I finished my thesis. Thesis has been submitted and I've got a lot of “”stress weight” to shed all over again.... Went all the way back to my original starting weight…

9/26 99.5 No excuses… result of half a pack of biscuits and 2 croissants yesterday
9/27 99.1 result of spinning and running!
9/28 99.2 ….no idea..... Was good yesterday! Muscles are sore from Wednesdays gym trip though so hoping it's water retention….
9/29 99.1...
9/30 99.4 I don't know… w1d3 of c25k plus 5 hours gardening, under on calories but I gain?!?! Confused!
10/1 99.4 starting to feel like my body doesn't want to give up the winter stores!
10/2 99.6 wtaf....?!?! I did w2d1 of c25k yesterday, ate within calories (1200) yet i manage to put on again?!?!
10/3 99.3 at least It's the right direction I guess… annoying as I didn't watch my diet or get much exercise yesterday… so I behave =I gain, I relax = I lose?!?!
10/4 98.8 woohoo! Downward movement! Yay! Not quite to target but nearly there!

Day/Weight/Comment
Starting weight for round 202.4
9/25 201.5 Good start to this round. Like the number going down.
9/26 201.3 Trying to really watch what I am eating. Hoping for a bigger lose, but I am happy with any lose. .2 lost is .2 lost.
9/27 199.6 Not quite believing it. Complete shock this morning. Hoping it stays.
9/28 199.7 Maybe this will stay. Measured myself for the first time since I began dieting and lost over 3 inches in each spot on my torso. Over 35 pounds and still no one has noticed. Waiting for it to be noticeable. Very happy today and motivated.
9/29 199.1 This may be official. I might be for real in onderland. Have to watch my weekend eating.
9/30 198.8
10/1 199.1
10/2 200.1 was hoping to never see that first number again. Weekend weight.
10/3 199.8 Back below 200
10/4 199.6 Happy that I ended the round less than I started (-2.8) and entered onederland. Next round plan and going lower and not have to worry about ever seeing 200 again.

9/25 192.0 - I’m hoping this daily accountability will help me keep my eating in check
9/26: 194.8 - I have no words
9/27: 193.0 - Ate better yesterday & had my pilates class. Seemed to do the trick. Yay!
9/28: 193.2 - Soooooo disappointed. Did another pilates last night, ate good all day, felt “skinny” this morning & I’m up point two. Now I have to deal with the weekend. Yikes!
9/29: 192.6 - Pleasantly surprised but I’m thinking my weight change is a day or two behind my actions - be it exercise & eating right or just the opposite. I’ll enjoy my numbers today as tomorrow it will be a completely different story. I can’t remember what someone wrote in an earlier post but I liked it - something about the scale is just a number not my life. I’ll have to go back & find the correct quote. I’m going to start focusing on how I FEEL each day & not let the scale dictate that anymore.
9/30: 193.2 - It is what it is but it’s actually better than I thought. I should change my goal for this round to get back to my STARTING WEIGHT!! First round for me & I’m shaking it down. Quite the reality check weighing in everyday. I feel good things are going to happen in October!!

10/1: 192.4 - I’ll take it!! Plan is to eat smart today & Zumba tonight (first time in about 10 years-yikes)
10/2: 192.4 - interesting since Zumba got cancelled & I ate 2 donuts instead!
10/3: 192.2 - again interesting as my walk got cancelled & I ate a donut instead. Yes getting down to my R54 starting is my updated goal

10/4: 193.0 - Grrrrrrrr!! Ate good yesterday & did my pilates class last night & I’m up. Soooooo... when I don’t exercise & eat donuts I lose weight. I eat right & exercise & I gain. 🤔

R54: gain 1.0

Day/Weight/Comment

9/25 - 151.5 - I had to hop on the scale a couple times to believe it this morning. I hope it sticks around!
9/26 - 151 - Wow, 1 lb. from my top goal weight. I know my weight will be bouncing up and down over the next week due to water, stress, etc., but seeing this number makes me so happy this morning!
9/27 - 150 - WooHoo! I certainly did not expect to see this! This has been my goal weight since I joined MFP back in February of 2015 weighing 188. I lost and gained back around 15 pounds for 3 years until March of this year. Starting at 186, I decided to really make an effort this time. My loss stalled in May, so I started looking for something to give me the motivation to continue. I found this 10 day challenge. The daily weighing, advice, commiseration, victories, etc. have made all the difference this time. I can't tell you how much I've learned from reading all of your daily stories. Thank you to all!
9/28 - 150.5 - I'm fine with this. I ate about 1100 calories yesterday, so I'm sure it's water retention. Our office has a vendor bringing in pizza for lunch so I'll try to drink plenty of water today.
9/29 - 150.5 - I had a piece of pizza for lunch yesterday and I brought some home so I had a piece for supper. It was Pizza Hut and I checked their web site for nutritional information. I noted the information and when I went to input on MFP I realized how far off the database calories were. My large piece on Pizza Hut's site was 340 calories. In the database people had recorded from 240 to 270 calories. I've seen variations before but nothing that drastic for something that verifiable. That was a reminder for me to double check all my foods.
9/30 - 151.5 - I did not want to weigh this morning. I knew I ate/drank over weight loss calories, but below maintenance and I know what that does to my water retention. We have out of town family in again and there was some celebrating yesterday. I've been better today so hopefully I'll drop back a half pound or so by Thursday.
10/1 - 151.5 - Back to the office and back to trying to lose these next few pounds.
10/2 - 151.5 - I guess my body is just going to hold on this weight for a little bit.
10/3 - 151 - Four years ago I had to start taking blood pressure meds. It was HCZ, a water pill. This past May, my sodium level dropped below normal, so my Dr. prescribed an alternative. I was having issues with vertigo, so I was afraid to start taking it, not knowing if it would make me worse. After my vertigo resolved (thanks to @quiltingjaine) I decided to hold off taking it as the random BP tests I did at home was showing my blood pressure was dropping to normal. At my annual women's physical yesterday, it became official...it was 118/78, down from the 140's/90's it had been right after I was taken off the water pill. The number on the scale may not move as quickly as I would like some days, but the other benefits of slow but steady weight loss are immeasurable!
10/4 - 151 - Although I'm up a pound from one week ago (for no good reason other than water weight) I managed to drop a pound and a half from last round, so I'm very happy.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 178.6 I can tell from the way my rings are biting into my fingers that there is some water retention going on here. (ETA) Began the day with C25K second workout. t was a little harder than the first one- i had to take a longer walk break in the middle but I got it done!
9/26 179.2 up but not a problem Annual trip to the ball game with DS1 last night. Skipped the beer (not hard) skipped the sweet potato fries (heroic effort). Had a smoked sausage on a bun - so lots of sodium.
9/27 179.2 today is the last day of special events and projects that have been going on all of September. Things should be calmer and more focused for the next few weeks - tempting fate to say that I know, but fingers crossed.
9/28 179 overslept - so did not begin with a "run" will try to catch up later in the day.
9/29 179.8

But "always look on the bright side of life" I began today with a workout and set a new PR for plank - 4 minutes!
9/30 179.8 First day in a long time where I was not having to fight the stress eating. What a relief Beginning today with my overdue C25K "run" - not sure when I will fell it is legit to call it a run - maybe when the running is more than half the time?
10/1 179.4
10/2 178.2 whoosh and new favourite snack - pumpkin spice cheerios!
10/3 177.6
10/4 177.2 -0.6 for the round. not a big loss - but the last few days I'm back in control so i am feeling really good about the next round.

9/25 —132.6— Serious lack of sleep 😣 hoping to get better sleep tonight!

9/26 —131.8— Still haven’t got my normal amount of sleep, it has been such a busy week! Thankfully the water weight has started to come off though.😃

9/27 —132.0— I fell asleep before dinner last night, so I got SO much sleep.. maybe too much! Need to work on drinking more water today.

9/28 —132.6— Super early weigh in today, 12-hour hospital shift for me! Hoping this weight is going to drop soon😐

9/29 —132.0— Another night where I fell asleep by 8pm. My week has been crazy! Excited for sushi tonight🍣😁

9/30 —131.8— I struggled SO hard with cravings yesterday! Just one of those days I guess. 😝 Happy Sunday everyone!

10/1 —131.8— Yesterday I had a big family gathering and gave in to temptations (heath bar cookies.. so good!). Thankfully I made it up by ordering chicken lettuce wraps for dinner. I’m so proud of myself for not just giving up on the day after making a few poor choices.. a huge problem I’ve had in the past! Also, it’s October!! Yay! 🎃

10/2 —131.0— It took about a week, but it finally went down..😊

10/3 —130.0— Not sure what I am doing RIGHT?! I have been eating more than usual, but still in my calorie range. I really didn’t think I was going to be able to hit my goal this round, but these last few days are giving me new hope.. So excited I am almost in a new decade!🎉

10/4 —129.4— Okay, even though I AM doing everything I’m supposed to.. I’m getting suspicious of this weight coming off like this.. 🧐 nevertheless, I am happy about it!! Finishing the round strong with a record (for me) 3 pound loss! 💪🏼

Round 54 (My 8th Round)
9/25 156 I did great on all my macros until the late night craving hit me. I was a couple hundred calories under after dinner so it just ended up balancing out after I ate what I was craving. Just wish it didn't hit me so late. On a brighter note, loved the fall like weather yesterday morning! It was beautiful out. Can't wait until it stays like that for a while, and the trees start turning. The park I go to to walk is so beautiful, especially when the leaves start turning 😊.
9/26 155 yayy I am so excited. 10 pounds away from a normal BMI. I am beyond proud of myself. Yesterday was also a light day so I know that's contributed to part of this loss but I'm still taking credit for all the hard work.
9/27 155 soo happy that the scales were correct yesterday. I was speaking to someone yesterday who was complimenting me and asking how much weight I had lost, and my Husband overheard me tell them I still wanted to lose more. He doesn't want me to lose any more lol but I told him that I loved him, but I am doing this for me and I want to be happy with my body, and healthy.
That is really what matters in this whole thing, do this for "you". Being an inspiration to my family is a plus also, because I want them healthy as well.
9/28 155 Ate junk half the day yesterday so my macros were high. Stayed under my goal but I did use some exercise calories. I decided I'm going to walk at least 2 miles/day a few times a week, on top of my daily exercises. Would like to work my way up to jogging/running but it's hard to do right now because I always have my 5 month old with me. Maybe Santa will bring me an Elliptical for Christmas this year 😊.
9/29 155 was well under my calorie goal yesterday but I feel like my body has been retaining water. I have been drinking lots of water, at least trying to. Higher on the sodium end though the past 2 days, and I've had hot sauce the past 2 days at dinner. I sure hope I don't have to give up my love for hot sauce

. Will be drinking cucumber water today, hopefully that'll help.
9/30 154 Excellent way to end September, with another pound lost 😊 and my round goal met. Great day yesterday. Had around a gallon of water, most of it being cucumber water. I could tell it really made a difference as I was relieving water all day yesterday. I made a fresh pineapple strawberry smoothie for dinner. I need to do that more often, I think light dinners really help. It's also easier to do when Hubby isn't around, he has been in graveyard shift all weekend.
10/1 154 I'll be content if I stay here this round

. I am thanking God every day for allowing me to get my health in control, even though I am still a working progress. Yesterday I went over on my total fat, like a good bit over. Not too worried about it though because I didn't eat bad, I added almonds into my diet and I had peanut butter in my oatmeal as well.
10/2 154 Didn't eat the greatest yesterday, my husband brought me home a chicken biscuit. Had cubed steak and gravy for dinner and also had 2 mini cupcakes for dessert. BUT on a positive note, I walked 2 miles yesterday morning, did zumba in the evening and I added a new 5 minute squat routine

. Going to make better food choices today. Still humble

.
10/3 153.5 sooo happy! 😊 I think adding in 2 miles of walking a few times a week, along with my daily exercises is really paying off.
10/4 153.5 ready to see what the next round brings!

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!
10/2 175.8 I stayed the same and I'm ok with it. I'm going to stay on track today even if we are going out for dinner tonight! I've taken a couple of rest days, so I'm feeling ready to get a workout in today!
10/3 175.6 I went out to dinner last night and I even had pumpkin cider! And I managed to stay within calories!
Today has been somewhat stressful. I started the day with a low tire light on my car but hubby thought it should be ok to get to and from work. So I was nervous all day at work hoping I wasn’t going to be stuck there. Everything was fine until after work when I pulled into a gas station to get air for my tires, and clearly didn’t know what I was doing and made it worse lol! Luckily they didn’t go totally flat. Hubby met up with me and picked up our boy from school. Then I went to Firestone. They real quick put air in my tires and so far so good! Will keep an eye on it over the next couple of days. My previous car I’d had for nearly 15 years. My current car has some features that are new to me. Like I can see the tire pressure in the dash.
Other than that, one more day to this challenge! This is my first time doing this challenge and I’m glad I gave it a try! So much support and accountability!

10/4 176.6 I'm down 1 pound from the start of this challenge, which is great! It's interesting seeing the fluctuations and maybe learning what causes them. I did have a stressful day yesterday and I'm thinking TOM is coming. I had thought that a few days back, so maybe I am. Have a great day and see you in the next round!

UGW 125

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

10/2 156.6 ate good yesterday and had 1 liter of water. Exercised good but I am still waiting for this weight to drop again. I am hoping for a big whoosh the next couple of days so hopefully I can at least end on a loss if not my goal..but who knows. Weight is always a tricky thing to predict. I am still trying to keep my head up though. I'm still learning.

10/3 156.2 sllooowwly going down. One day of cheating ends in working four days to take it off...pfft. I exercised good yesterday, drank 1 liter and ate well. I'm greatful I am feeling patient with myself ...if it had been last week I don't think I would have been as patient. One more day and I will fight for it

10/4 155.8 still going down but the frustration is starting to set in. It was one day for crying out loud..four days of eating right and exercising and I still can't manage to take it all off. 😥😥😥 I guess the positive is I still managed to loose from the last 10 days, even if it is the lowest I have ever pulled. I am just tired of this super slow trend. And although I want to be optimistic about the next 10 days, this Sunday is thanksgiving which is giving me major regret for binging last saturday when I could have looked forward and pushed through the day trying to make it to this weekend. I am just aggravated because I know the next 10 days will be equally as hard to see a loss. I know it's a ridiculious goal but if I made it to 148 by October 9th I would have accomplished 30 pounds in the three months and I think I'm slightly dissapoined because I have been working really hard to get there. Ok enough whining. Here is to another day and to another 10 days.

See you all in round 55

mds0424 · October 2018

Female, 46yo, 5’4” I am an advanced age mother to 2 little boys (4yo & 17mo). I want to lose weight so I have less pain and can do more with my kids.

This is my 1st 10 day challenge. We are having a weight-loss competition at work (% body weight lost) and this is my motivation to get back on track. It started 8/1 and ends 10/31. I’m not typically a competitive person but I’m setting out to win this competition and if I lose 30+ lbs and don’t win, I’ll still be a winner in my own mind!

SW: 289.2 (8/1/18)
CW: 271.4 (-17.8)
IGW: 259 by 10/31/18

Goals this round:
Log food in MFP 10/10 days
100+g protein 7/10 days
Intentional Exercise 5/10 days
Weight in the 260s

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25: 271.4 logged all food, went to the gym and worked back & biceps + bike, 125g protein
9/26: 270.4 logged all food, went to the gym and worked chest & triceps + bike, 115g protein
9/27:DNW logged all food, 121g protein
9/28 272.2

logged all food, 104g protein, was supposed to go to the gym but ended up working late and needed to get home to my kiddos & hubby
9/29 273.6 WHAT is going on here?? I've been under my calorie goal every day since Sunday and then I was only over by 20 calories. This is so frustrating! 89g protein
9/30 DNW logged all food, went to the gym and worked legs + bike, 96g protein
10/1: 272.2 at least going back in the right direction but still up. Today is inventory day at work w/ tons of donuts all day and they are supplying pizza for lunch. I don't get it, they sponsor this weight loss challenge then they don't offer any healthy options. This will be a challenging day. I want to lose weight more than I want donuts & pizza! I did it!!! I resisted all those donuts & pizza! I ended up going for a 20 min walk w/ hubby & the kids in the evening which isn't huge, but it's still way better than my norm. Ate all those calories and a few more - ended up at 1585 calories for the day, 124g protein.
10/2 272.4 feeling really discouraged, it's looking like my goal for this round and my end of month goal may not be reachable, 102g protein
10/3 270.6 Wednesdays are my "official" weigh in day so I've actually gained 0.2 lb since last weeks "official" weigh in

Didn't make it to the gym last night because I had the baby while hubby took the 4 year old to swim lessons. Have to make it to the gym tonight!
10/4 270.4 Didn't make it to the gym last night. I forgot my shoes and had to go home and that's where my motivation ended. I did log all food and stayed under calories but only 78g protein. I have my shoes & clothes today and I've arranged for the baby while daddy & big brother go to swimming lessons so I shouldn't have any excuses for not going tonight.

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!

10/2 / 218.8

10/3 / 219.6 / Had a salty day yesterday, so this is an expected bump!

10/4 221.4 / I think this is just more of the result of Tuesday's salt fandango. Maybe some retaining water from some intense shoulder exercises.

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!!
10/2 149.8 Looks like a maintenance round, focused on dropping to at least 149 again by end of round. Maui in 3 days- stay away from carbs til Friday!! Plan while I'm there is to fully enjoy it but that does not mean eating crazy. Plus is we have a condo, and will stop at Safeway for some stuff. Plan on fully taking advantage of the fresh fish for every dinner!
10/3 149.6 Focusing on hydration today as I feel a slight headache coming, my skin looks dry, and I was thirsty overnight. Ate well yesterday, but have been eating protein bars again (>_<) These are definitely a weird trigger food for me. I MUST STOP BUYING THEM. NSV My honey walked the hill without stopping! He usually redlines a couple of times and has to stop, but a month in and he did it straight! So happy to be on the same page with him. 2 more days until Maui!! We so need this, we have a 16yo homeschooled son and a 23yo special needs son, as well as a business that takes a lot of energy. My DH and I spend a lot of time together, but it's just regular time, if that makes sense. Not one-on-one couple time, so we are super excited to be able to be "honeymooners"!!!

10/4 149.6 Well, looks like last 2 rounds have been a wash. Not going to stress about it, just enjoy my vacation and buckle down to lose these last 10 or so when I return. I will see you all in a week!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - Round 54
