Round 55
10/05 153 I had spaghetti for the first time in months last night. I have been avoiding pasta. I am beginning to realize that I can have things I want, in moderation. As long as I eat well most of the time, and control my portions, then I will continue to have great progress.
10/06 153 I failed to mention yesterday that I tried a new workout Thursday. I am still sore, in areas that I've never been sore before. Needed to step up my routine, and it was tough! Found it on fitness blender on YouTube if anyone wants to try it out, but will fair warn you it was tough for me. I plan to do it a few days per week.
10/07 153 Going to work extra hard this coming week on keeping my carbs and sugar under because I will be going away to stay with my sister next weekend. I know there will be lots of temptation! I know I will not totally ruin it though because my willpower is so much stronger now.
10/08 152.5 😊 I weighed after my walk though. I was way under on calories yesterday, but WHAT I ate wasnt healthy.
10/09 153 a family member brought over brownies yesterday, and I had tacos for dinner. I didn't drink enough water either. It's ok though, going to make better choices today and make sure I drink plenty of water.
10/10 152 I knew I was retaining water yesterday. I have not missed a day of exercise in weeks and sometimes exercise twice/day, and also always stay under. Love seeing results! I know I can set myself back for days or even a week this weekend while I'm away, so I am keeping that in mind also.
10/11 152 😊 7 pounds away from a "normal" bmi. I know those things are only a guide but it's for sure making me feel good about myself.

Hi
I am a female, 30 years old, 5' 6"
Just started using the every other day diet on 10/4 upon weighing 175 that morning. I have gained about 40 lbs over the past year and a half... After losing it all in the first six months after baby. I did the same thing after baby #1. After I lost it I gained my pregnancy weight back even while still BF...just minus the baby ! So here we go again.

500 calorie day
10/07 / 165.4 / - 3
maintenance calorie day. water weight loss, will probably gain some back. TOM surprised me today with no cramps ECT. I'm pretty excited since I cut out dairy a month ago it really seems to have helped in many ways (less cravings, I can feel "thirsty" better instead if just hungry) including this one.
10/08 / 167.2 / +1.8 (this ended up being an unplanned maintenance calories day)
500 calorie day. I was hungry last night and I'm hungry today. Already have my food made for the day and planned out so that should help. Big salads all day Maybe tea with maple syrup this evening. Had a cold all weekend and I am feeling a lot better today, and one of my LO's seems better as well. My older is still sick so we will be staying in and having a relaxing day today.
10/09 / 166.4 / -.8
Trying again for a 500 calorie day today. I ended up feeling unwell yesterday at about 4 like I had low blood sugar and didn't feel well until I ate more than my planned food, so I ate up to maintenance. I had a lot of calories coming from vegetables yesterday where the past 2 successful 'fast' days I had eaten mostly carbs on my down day so maybe that just didn't work for me. I am trying again today with more coming from carbs like the first 2 successful down days. Feeling good so far. We had a tornado watch this morning.
10/10 / 168.5 / +2
No surprise. Last night I ate late which I have not been doing. I also went several hundred over my maintenance calories...but it was vegetable and bean soup instead of the normal chocolate and ice cream during my period. I did fine the first 2 days fine and I just can't do it the past 2 days. I suspect it is because of my period...I usually overeat during it. But the food I am eating is much healthier than it normally would be, and the past 2 days I only ate to maintenance instead of overeating. So I am still going in the right direction.
10/11 / 165.8 / -2.7
I didn't try for a down day but I did 400 under maintenance since that is how much I ate over maintenance the day before.

10/05 - Friday - 180.8 - Carb monster last night! But I'm learning how to satisfy my cravings without sabotaging my health. So I had just one serving and all was good! Friends coming down this weekend - next weekend is my birthday soooo if I could just see 170 something this round I'd be ecstatic! *I went shopping for a pair of jeans at dressbarn yesterday because I needed something that fit, my size 14's were getting really big. I figured I'd be in a 12, or even a 14 still that just wasnt stretched out. I grabbed a few sizes and even a size 10 just because I liked the wash. Well much to my surprise, everything was too big so I tried the 10's and voila!!! Also, I tried on a jumpsuit, that looked amazing! I didnt buy it because it was very summery but you better believe its a NSV!
10/06 - Saturday - 179.2 - Company arrived late friday night - DH cooked steak and peapods for dinner last night but we didnt eat until late. Took friends out to diner breakfast this morning - then headed to ski swap. Back home for a quick nap for the baby then out to farm and grocery store. Cooked a pot pie and potatoes, and indulged in some brownies. Ate some cheese and crackers while dinner cooked. Headed to bed around 10, exhausted.
10/07 - Sunday - 180.0 - Woke up early to cook breakfast for friends before they headed out. DH and I then went to ski swap, took a lift ride, and headed home for another nap for me this time haha. Went to the giant pumpkin weigh in and entered the wood raffle. Had an apple soda but skipped the cider donuts! Made tortellini and sausage alfredo with leftovers from breakfast and managed to stay away from the brownies!
10/08 - Monday - 183.4 - Oh well! So many NSV this weekend I don't mind the blip on the scale. Totally normal Monday upswing. I can't find my water bottle at work - but it's probably a sign to get a new one. I was just saying Friday I need something glass, as I don't like drinking water out of stainless but want to get away from plastic - but I also want a straw! Any awesome water bottle suggestions appreciated! Have my healthy choice power bowl for lunch and I'm actually looking forward to it.
10/09 - Tuesday - 183.0 - A salty day yesterday! And I definitely did not drink enough water. Starting to feel the desire to reestablish habits in our new home - ready to get nesty this autumn season. NSV this morning - went to my favorite coffee shop and resisted the delicious breakfast sandwiches that smelled so good. Looks like I might be going out to lunch today so I'm glad I saved the indulgence. Gotta get cracking on water today!
10/10 - Wednesday - 183.4 - So my familys love language is food. My mom took me out to lunch yesterday and I ordered shrimp and lobster scampi - it was so good I only intended to eat half but it was gone before I had any self control. And DH wanted to "celebrate" with pizza for dinner and proclaimed he's getting me chocolates for my birthday. So yesterday was very tasty! NSV yesterday was even at the end of a carby, salty, indulgent day, I looked in the mirror and was like DANG I LOVE YOU BODY! I've been practicing diaphragmatic breathing and yesterday it finally clicked and I could feel my muscles working. I'm not getting discouraged with this bit of a stall - I'm still getting closer to my goal each day!
10/11 - Thursday - 183.0 - Unexpected dinner at MIL so evening plans were a bit different than expected, and I ate what was put in front of me to be polite. Got home and still managed to bang out all of the chores/food prep I wanted to do! So dinner is ready for tonight, yay! I cooked some bratwurst for lunches today, I've never had them and not sure I'm gonna like them but we will see! This week is a tough one to lose weight but my habits are coming around again! Got my fish oil and smoothie in this morning. See autumn goals below:
10/12

10/08 163.8 BMI:24.5 At least I’m still Normal!
So bummed that my scale is gone up but it was almost instantaneous after the break and then again after the surgery. I’m clearly retaining fluids (massive swelling) even though I’ve been walking each day (quite a lot actually) and watching what I ate.
I’ve been told it’s not good to try to lose weight after surgery, but at this point with several pounds more on, I’m gonna go ahead and go back in and diet to get back to at least 161.
I worked so hard to get from 165 to 157.8 that this has been really tough to handle.
I hope you’re all done no well.
Parsley tea and snacking on cucumbers help me flush the excess fluids.
@jerier
Oh thank you! I will do this today!! It’s just astonishing really!
Did you break a bone too?
@MadisonMolly2017 I've broken a few bones with the most recent being the 5th toe on my left foot. Yes, I'm a bit of a klutz.
As for the surgery, I'm a Radiologic Technologist so I was called in to operate the C-arm (portable fluoroscope) which is how surgeons see the anatomy while during the procedure.6 -

Round 54: End Weight 164.2lb (1.8lb loss)
Goal Weight: 140
Goals for the next round will be to be more consistent with my exercise, dial in the nutrition a bit more and try to make it through Thanksgiving without a gain. Any loss will do
Day/Weight/Comment
10/05 - 164.2
10/06 - 164.4 Probably at least some salt from Thursday. Had a good day today. Went for a long walk with hubs and pup and ate ok. Baked pumpkin pie in the evening and had a slice that put me over calories. Also, didn't get my run in... but the walk more than made up for that.
10/07 - 164.6 Thanksgiving dinner today. Not going to stress about counting calories, thanksgiving comes but once a year and we worked too hard cooking and baking not to enjoy it.
10/08 - 166.4 Ugh. Not surprised. Did get my run in yesterday though. Leftovers today but I have a day off work so have decided to do one more day not counting calories. Back to brass tax tomorrow.
10/09 - 167.8 Holy crap. That's a new high! I did wake up queasy this morning which usually means I'm dehydrated. I said my goal this round was not to gain so I have the rest of the week to get back to where I started. Meal planning isn't as good as I would like this week as we have so many bits an pieces in the fridge that need to be used up before they go bad.
10/10 - 167.4 Was really hoping it would be down a bit more *shrug*. Had a headache all day yesterday so didn't run in the evening. I did drink lots and lots of water though, must continue that today. Made an epic turkey pie with the last of the leftovers. Tastes so good but I'm sure it's full of salt (I did also use a little cream in it... because we had some leftover). Still crossing my fingers I can get back to my start weight by Sunday.
10/11 - 165 Wahoo. Glad it's moving in the right direction. 1 more pound to start of round weight. Got my run in last night and ate ok. Had half a bagel after dinner because I was still so hungry. Didn't drink as much water as I should. Must drink more water today.

10/05 - 257.2 - Starting round #55, 1 lb up. This is sooooo why I need something like this for accountability. I used a visit from friends as a reason to just "wing it". I really have to stay on board for the loss to happen.
10/06 - 257.2 - no change. Heavy dinner will do that to ya. I need to make time for my own meal prep!
10/07 - 256.8 - Yay!! I'll take any loss But....I didn't stick to plan last night & I know it takes 2 days for any slip-ups to make it onto my scale (weird, huh?!)
10/08 - 256.8 - Slow & easy does it I guess. 1.8 to go this round and 6 days to do it. I can do this!
10/09 - 257 - Wrong way That's what 'wingin' it does to my scale. Gotta regroup again.
10/10 - 256.4 - Going in the right direction, although very very slooowwwwwwwwwly
10/11 - 255.2 - Yay!! .2 lbs from goal for this round. Sticking to meal plan works!

Just caught up with everyone's posts. I am so very sorry to read about the loss of loved ones (2 and 4 legged) and employment. Sending you hugs and prayers.
@MadisonMolly2017 You're very welcome. @tiabirdie56 posted about parsley tea and cucumber water a while back. I drink the tea and prefer to snack on cucumbers (in a salad) after work. It keeps me from eating junk and heavier foods (most of the time). The salad is very simple to prepare and super low in calories. I try to keep a batch ready in the refrigerator.
Combine the following in a large bowl:
2 large cucumbers, chopped
1 red onion, diced
2-3 tomatoes, chopped
Organic apple cider vinegar

OSW: 212 (Sept 2017)
FGW: 170
10/5: 194.6
10/6: 194 - I went to the gym yesterday for the first time in a while. I've been exercising outdoors all summer, but yesterday it rained. It actually felt good to work out inside! A change is good sometimes.
10/7: 194.6 - I'm feeling a little bloated today so not surprised there has been no drop. I did pretty good yesterday with my eating and logging, but before dinner I was hungry and did some snacking on pretzels and hummus. I did get out for a long horseback ride and hike (i get off my horse and walk up all the steep hills) so exercise goal is a big check for yesterday. Today my goal is to stick to my calorie goal and fit in yoga and a jog.
10/8: 194.8 - Trying not to be discouraged. I had a pretty good weekend as far as weekends go. I logged my food, wasn't as austere as I had hoped, but didn't go over either day. Yesterday I went to the beach for a run with my 6 year old. We did 2 miles, he's got so much energy! 6 year olds don't like jogging as it's boring, so we pick landmarks ahead (logs, piles of seaweed) to race to. It's like full on sprints! My legs are sore and we had fun together. A great day. Monday is here and I've got gym plans and a healthy lunch packed. Here we go.
10/9: 192.6 - What? Suddenly the scale came down. I have felt bloated the last few days and today feel more normal, so hopefully I'll stay down here for a while. Never did get that workout in yesterday- discovered I forgot my sneakers! AAAAH! Instead, I focused on staying within my calorie range and I was successful. Today I remembered my sneakers, and I have signed up for a lunchtime spin class. I'm loving this 10 day challenge- it seems so much more manageable taking things in a 10 day chunk.
10/10: 194.6 - Again. I had a stressful day yesterday (found out my husband is getting laid off), and I had some wine and ate pizza for dinner as a coping mechanism. So the 2 lb fluctuation isn't unexpected- I need to find other ways to cope with stress. Hoping it comes down again! I did make it to spin class yesterday at lunch, it felt good. Today I plan to get in a quick jog outdoors- I don't have a lot of time but it sure is a beautiful day here on the Oregon coast.
10/11: 195. Feeling super discouraged. It's my own fault, I went on a crazy snacking binge yesterday, just gave up, and stopped counting my calories. I have no idea why nor what the trigger was. I also didn't get in my jog yesterday- I just didn't have time. I'm a full time working mom of 2 kids and I also have a small horse farm, and my husband is traveling for work this week so I'm on my own to take care of everyone. Some days are just too crazy. I have 4 days left in this challenge- including today- and I'm going to do the best I can. Today I have a walking meeting scheduled at work, so I'll get some exercise. I may or may not also try for a gym workout, depending on how my day goes otherwise.

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

10/05 140.8 ~ (Steps 25,749) ~ The key for me to get to my goals is focus on the weekend, I WILL do this,
10/06 141.1 ~ (Steps 18,892) ~ I’m okay with this my husband has to work late so I actually ate later then usual,
10/07 142.5 ~ (Steps 9,891) ~ Hitting on my goals, there were a lot of errands to do. The scale shows having dinner so late, though.

Goal for my first round is just to get back on track logging my food and drinking enough water. I'll post weight loss goals next round. I lost 115 lbs three years ago, but regained some in the past 18 months, so I'm turning this ship around!
10/10/18 - 220.6 - did good yesterday getting enough water. Trying to cut out sugar...So I have a little bit of a carb withdrawal headache happening today. Thank goodness for Tylenol!
10/11/18 - 220.6 - same weight. Food yesterday was good, water was good, headache is easing up. Kinda wish I had lost some more weight, but I'm staying on track.5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
10/05 150.6 I'm experiencing a lot of fluctuation in my weight. I might need to change the battery on my scale. I definitely need to drink more water.
10/06 150.6 Had a party for my husband and son's birthdays. I was careful. over 11, 500 steps!
10/07 150.4
10/08 148.6 I expected more water retention since I've been snacking on nuts and pickled cauliflower. I was also stuck at my desk grading all day yesterday, but my son took me on a short walk to watch the Space X launch.
10/09 147.6 I was good until dinner. I made Armenian mac n cheese for my husband's birthday. I didn't go overboard though.
10/10 149.0 Again, I was good all day until I stepped into my meeting. I was eating my salad and then got stressed by the conversation. I ate 5 pieces of candy. Then I came home to grading and ate more. I need to handle my stress better. For some reason, when I get to the 147 mark, I sabotage myself.
10/11 150.6 Neck an shoulder muscles were cramping. I was in so much pain last night that I was crying. Food doesn't make the pain go away. I'm wondering if being dehydrated contributed to the muscles cramping.

10/06 - 174.6
10/07 - 174.6
10/08 - 174.8
10/09 - 174.8 ..... I need more water, more movement and more control. Otherwise I’ll need to buy Spanx.
10/10 - 175.2 .....I know why. Dinner out. Not proud of this. What I am proud of: We stopped later for dessert while shopping. Everyone else had decadent desserts, I had lemon water. Some days I am stronger than others. Dinner was not abundant. I ate way less than my old self. However, it always has more carbs than I normally allow myself at this time and my body responds. I may start a 3 day Egg Fast today to get back on track. I will also flush with parsley water which should not interfere with the Egg Fast. Happy hump day everyone.
10/11 - 175.6..... Did not start the Egg Fast. Had a last minute invitation to dinner that would have blown it. I tried to make pretty good choices but basically blew it on a late night binge as well. I’ve been doing so much better on the bingeing problem lately so I’m disappointed in myself. Tonight is Pool Hall night with potluck. I will try to be careful again, but I know it’s not a good day to start my Egg Fast. Maybe tomorrow.

10/05--179.0
10/06--177.6 Well I'm really good at getting to here but then stalling. Let's see if I can keep it going this round! Pilates this morning and then I'm hosting my niece's birthday party at my house. Happy its a 3-day weekend, I actually tend to eat fewer calories on the weekends.
10/07--Don't remember
10/08--Don't remember
10/09--Don't remember
10/10--178.6
10/11--177.2 Well shoot, I've been weighing in every morning but forgetting to check in here. Still stuck in the same loop. I guess I've figured out how to maintain, so that's better than going up!

I HAVE to reach my goal this time. I'm going to make it happen.
Day/Weight/Comment
10/5- 186.3- I don't want to get too excited because I'm just going to jinx myself again lol. But I'm happy the scale is going back down again! No rice until I hit my goal! I really want to get to 185.0 though. I've been hovering in the upper 180s for a while now. Gotta get down to the lower 180s. Going to make this round the round I get to it! It's Friday but I'll try to do well today so the scale goes down some more. REALLY want to get to 185.something!
10/6- 185.6- Yay! I got there. Spoke it into existence I guess lol. But that's not my mini goal until it's 185.0 so got a little ways more to go. Going to try to do well this weekend. Not planning on doing anything that would make me go over my calories but weekends. Yesterday was under my calories. Went to chipotle, was pretty darn healthy in my choices. I've changed a lot since the past- I used to get a loaded burrito with cheese and all the works. Now I get a bowl, lots of veggies, no cheese, no tortilla on the side like I used to. Just making good choices for my health. Pretty proud of myself.
10/7- 185.1- Saturday was successful and scale was on my side too! Will try to do well today as well. Looks like I will be under calories today too. I'm almost at my mini goal of 185.0 but I don't want to stop my progress so will continue onto 180.0. Hopefully I can reach it by the next round. We'll see!
10/8- 184.9- Sunday was also very successful. Was under calories, ate PRETTY healthy (even though I had pizza). But I'm very happy. Weekends used to be a huge binge-fest for me. Not anymore! Really trying to beat that habit. So this means I got to my mini-goal of 185, so the next mini-goal is 180! I'm pretty excited and don't want to let the progress go to waste so will continue to do well. Today I'm going to work out (really going to work on my cardio today because I've definitely been slacking and I want to make this part of my lifestyle to help with maintenance once I get to my goal) and definitely staying under calories.
10/9- 185.4- Last night I had a delicious and pretty healthy meal but it did have soy sauce in it so I know that that may have led to water retention and I was also consumed a little more calories than usual. Nothing crazy but I'm sure it adds up a little. I'm okay with this. Just going to eat a little less tonight and hopefully that will help.
10/10- 185.6-
10/11- 184.9- had whole grain pasta last night. Was just as delicious as regular pasta AND it didn't lead to an upwards weight fluctuation! Yay! Hopefully I can reach my 184.0 goal by the end of the challenge! Also I finally tried cauliflower rice (below)! Was delicious!
