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.

big water weight drop in weight after my first 500 calorie day. maintenance calorie day

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.
10/12 / 168.1 / +2.3
Late night cookies...but as far as cookies go they were 'healthy'.

@jerier Thank you for the cucumber salad recipe!! My DMIL used to do just cucumber and onions with vinegar but being from the south, added sugar (EWW!)
And @tiabirdie56 for the variation!
@ssssanaaaa YAY for cauliflower rice! Have you tried zucchini noodles? I like them more than regular pasta. I have a handheld Spiralizer but like them so much that I spent the $$ for the attachment for my mixer. Even DH likes them and he’s a carb and sugar guy!
@Maejestique Over 3# in 4 days and holding is AWESOME!
@LeafyPoo The younger you are when you make these changes AND STICK TO THEM, the more likely you will have less problem with loose skin. At least that is my experience. At almost 69, I’m hoping that working out will help me but after losing these 40+ pounds AGAIN, well, it ain’t pretty. At this age, even if I could afford it, I wouldn’t have a full body lift.

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 - Friday - 181.2 - Cool! Well I was really stressed yesterday at work, and ate my feelings when I got home but I kinda already planned for a heavy dinner so it worked out fine. Going to do some self care today, a haircut and eyebrow wax and I should feel like a new lady! Turns out we will have a friend staying in the apartment for a few weeks so that will be an adjustment but I'm so happy we can help him out. Visualizing 179 as my birthday gift for myself! Going out to dinner tomorrow night to an awesome Asian fusion place but planning to have a LITTLE of everything.

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.
10/12: 194. The roller coaster continues! I suppose this is how it goes with daily weigh ins. Yesterday was a better day. I didn't have time for the gym, but my walking meeting was a good hour long walk involving hills, so I'm counting it as exercise. I also did a quick 20 minute yoga session after work and before dinner- no small feat for someone with as many beings (little kids + animals) to take care of. Today the kids have no school, and I've got a puppy with a hurt leg to take to the vet- so exercise might be hard to come by but I'm hoping for a strength workout at some point. I want to finish this challenge out STRONG! NO mindless snacking is my goal for today.

@quiltingjaine I have never listened to weight charts or strict BMI. Not because I don't think they are accurate but because although they ask for your height it isn't as descriptive when it comes to body type. I am a European women with a bigger bone structure, although those charts tell me I should be between 115-125 I know that being that weight would make me look like a person hanging off a coat hanger (I have broad shoulders) so although my goal weight is 125 I am still watching how my body transforms because for all I know 135 might be the healthiest looking weight for me. I have a full body and being too skinny isn't ideal.. I need some of the chub to make me look full lol if that makes sense4

@iLadyT Next time get that Subway as a salad! It’s awesome and you avoid all those carbs!
@jaccimc63 Congrats on the new low!
@SheilaBoneham I’m so sorry to hear about Lily. No matter how old they are and how we try to prepare, it is difficult. Sending love and prayers.7 -
@abowersgirl I agree 100%! But 50+ years ago it was all about the chart! I have smallish wrists (one standard) and my shoulders are fairly broad compared to my hips - at least that’s how they were in high school. I know I looked emancipated at 118 but that was after 3.5 weeks in a hospital bed, too. NO desire to get to that weight again! I’m rambling.2

*Travel no scale part of the time
Weight on 1/17/17 174.5 UGW ???
**UPDATE 10/11/18 My original goal was my last WW goal 137, when I got there I decided to give myself a couple of pounds for fluctuations. I had noted that my high school weight was 125 which, at that time, weight charts said was about 20# too much but pictures from high school do not show that. So I am not stressing about what I weigh, I’m sticking to my plan and still losing. I’m curious to see where this takes me. I have thought about going to the gym and have been joining a friend to walk the treadmill a couple of times a week. When we get home from this trip, I may get serious.

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.

Something that's been on my mind and I'm stressing about is the idea of loose skin. The thought of working so long and hard on losing weight, only to have loose skin all over my body and still hate how I look terrifies me to my core. I can't imagine that I would ever have the money for a body lift so it's not as simple as "just get surgery if you have loose skin". I keep thinking to myself "I'd rather just be fat than to work so hard and still be left with something that makes me unhappy with my appearance" but then I try to remind myself that it's not all about looks. It's about being healthy. Not getting diabetes (which runs heavily in my family). Being able to run around with my son more. Being able to walk distances without my legs and feet killing me.. If anyone has something informative or uplifting in regards to this, I would appreciate hearing it.
Give Elderly You a huge gift of MOBILITY. Sure, there will be loose skin. Your joints will thank you a thousand times if you don't lug that extra baggage into old age. It is great to be a MOM, but one day you may get to be a grandmother and wouldn't you like to be the one who can actually do things with those children? Not to mention that a smaller you has a better chance of living to be elderly in the first place.

5'7" 31 year old female
Start Weight: 166lb
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.
10/12 - 164.6 Still moving in the right direction. Fingers crossed it continues for the next 2 days. Yesterday wasn't great. I've realised that if my meals are too small I snack on whatever is around... and in my workplace whatever is around is candy, cookies or chips. Brought a more substantial lunch today.

@frida001 I don't know what exactly is going on with your neck but there are tons of videos on YouTube that help with stretching when it comes to neck and shoulders pain...maybe they might help. Im sure even on the site darebee there are stretches for those pains as well. I hope the pain subsides soon ❤
@ssssanaaaa that looks absolutely delicious!!!!
@rainykatie cut yourself a break. It seems you have a lot going on so take it easy on yourself. Jump on the healthy eating train again and take everything else in strides. You got this!!4 -

Ultimate GOAL: 130's
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.
10/12 150.6 Thank you, @abowersgirl . I have a torn labrum in my shoulder and the surrounding muscles are overcompensating. Muscle relaxers are helping with the pain, but I'm feeling very uncoordinated. I need to at least walk to keep my body loose. Lots of water and 10,000 steps are my goal today.

This will be my 8th round.USW 6th of May: 210 lbs

Challenge goal weight: 169.9 lbs

R39 SW: 196.2 lbs EW: 190.7 lbs (-5.5)
R46 SW: 185.8 lbs EW: 183.4 lbs (-2.4)
R47 SW: 182.8 lbs EW: 178.6 lbs (-4.2)

R50 SW: 180.0 EW: 175.9 (-4.1)
R51 SW: 175.3 EW: 172.6 (-2.7)
10/05 – 171.2 lbs Been very slow after the huge losses I had in my last three rounds. Went to the gym today and had a really good workout with my physical therapist. I work out 3 times a week now, and this feels like the perfect amount of workouts for me now. Been having a lot of issues with the mobile app lately, so I haven't been tempted to struggle with forum posts everyday. So slow and it's crashing all the time
Been logging everyday and staying under my calorie goal since the last time I was participating in this challenge. I have been weighing once a week, was kinda nice to have a break from the daily weigh-ins. I have also chosen to open my diary to friends to hold my self accountable.
10/06 - 170.1 (-1.1) Had to step on the scale 3 times to make sure this was right 😂 Awesome!
10/07 - 170.4 (+0.3) A small bump up from yesterday. Not worried, still a huuge loss in 2 days. Ate a lot of sodium yesterday, so it’s probably just water :-) a mini goal for the day is that I’m gonna drink a minimum of 4 glasses of water today.
10/08 - 169.3 (-1.1) Whooosh! I’m seeing the number 6 and I am so happy! 😃 I did complete the mini goal I set for myself yesterday and I’m gonna set a new one for today. My minigoal for the day is to go to the gym and do some cycling, strength training and core training (for atleast 30 min). Good to see that my little plateau is ending and I’m just whooshing. My weight has been standing very still since R51.. but I have stayed under my calorie goal even if I have had a small break from these challenges. Sometimes the scale won’t budge for a while and I get a big whoosh after. Can be really demotivating to see that the scale is standing still, so it’s just a fabulous feeling when I whoosh like this 👌🏻
10/09 - 167.9 (-1.4) !! 😃
10/10 - 167.3 (-0.6) Now I finally dare to say that I reached my goal this round
And it’s great to finally see number 6 on the scale everyday!
10/11 - 167.3 (--) No change today It is that time of the month for me today, so I suspect that I will see a small bump up tomorrow.
10/12 - 167.3 (--) Whaat! No change today either. Was really expecting a bump up this morning, so this is good news!

Round 55
10/05: 269.6 (-0.8) Yay! So happy to see that 2nd digit go down, now to keep it there for the rest of this round. 1223 calories, 104g protein, 56oz water
10/06: 269.8 (+0.2) Went to my parents and swam laps and did water aerobics. I actually enjoy doing this, why don't I do it more often??? 1267 calories, 100g protein, 52oz water
10/07 269.4 (-0.4) Had a really big lunch out, not really bad stuff (cobb salad, small piece of cauliflower crust pizza & 3 wings) but not great either and more than I've been eating. Not certain about the calories - just had to pick what I thought off the MFP food log. So just had Special K protein water & and a small pkg pumpkin seeds for dinner 1566 calories, 118g protein, 54oz water
10/08 269.4 (no change) glad to it didn't go up! 1375 calories, 115g protein, 69oz water
10/09 267.8 (-1.6) this was a nice surprise to see! My free trial & trainer month at the other gym is up so I went to the YMCA. Trying to apply what I learned at the other gym but the machines are somewhat different. But I'm trying and that is a step in the right direction for me. Worked arms + rode bike for 30 min. 1215 calories, 65g protein, 71oz water
10/10 267.6 (-0.2) was fearful that it would go back up some so this was nice to see. Our cat died during the night. She was the last of the menagerie. When we got married, I had 1 cat and my husband moved in with a dog, 2 cats, 3 soft furred African rats, and fish. Now as my 4 year old put it this AM, the only pets we have left are fish. Lots of tears at my house this morning. Had originally planned to go to the gym after work, but had a burial and just needed the time with my family. 1256 calories, 108g protein, 52oz water
10/11 268.6 (+1.0) not happy with the number but it's still down from the beginning of the round. So long as I keep at it, it will come back down. Working from home and have to take the 18mo old to doctor today. I have a harder time drinking enough water when I'm at home so that is going to be my big push today. 1350 calories, 85g protein, 51oz water
10/12 267.4 (-1.2)
