JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 55

denswrex · October 2018

@tiabirdie56 You look amazing in that photo!! Beautiful smile and energy!!

@Bendiz_ It's great to see you back and Happy BD!!

@mthomas0228 Thanks! So sorry to hear about your ankle, I broke mine a few years back and it was so hard mentally, especially when you are so used to being active and independent! Hope you are back to normal soon-

@deepwoodslady Mom of special needs son here too, working on my relationship with food so I can be a better leader for him. I tend to "police" the kitchen, and so he sneaks stuff when I am out of the room. He is 6'2" and 240, so weight management is an ongoing issue with him as well. He doesn't understand the impact of what he eats though, so for us it works best to just not have it around. I've caught him eating spoonfuls of sour cream, or raw tortellini...frozen bread, salted nuts... Trying to stop policing so I can discourage the sneaking.

@rainykatie I agree to get a second opinion!! It is heartbreaking to say goodbye to your pet!

I have not been able to catch up with everyone, but will be in next round full force!! Great job everyone!

@Bendiz_ Happy birthday! Enjoy that cake, you've earned it.
Day/Weight/Comment
Starting late. F/21/5’2” HW:226 CW:195.4 GW:185 UGW:125, maybe?
10/10: 195.4 Haven’t weighed recently. It is up though. Partially water weight from Thanksgiving, partially water weight from a very tough workout. Had my bio midterm today and did not eat well, but close to being under my calories. Will probably see another rise in the scales because of salt.
10/11:195.4 A small win. No loss is better than a gain.
10/12: 195.6. Ugh. Got a wiifit plus board and wiifit game for less than $10 CAD. Did not eat super great yesterday. Or today so far if I’m being honest.
10/13: 194.6! Aw yeah. Hoping this starts a positive trend. Hydration and fibre were on point yesterday. Felt judged by the wiifit board but oh well.
10/14: 194.6. Maintained that loss which is nice. Down 0.8lbs in 4 days, which is also nice. I'll see you guys tomorrow for round 56!

@ssssanaaaa As long as you aren't dehydrated enjoy your losses. Water weight shifts quickly, actual body mass losses happen over longer periods of time as demonstrated by your progress since your Round 1. Well done!

@iLadyT does your scale need a new battery?

@Bendiz_ Happy birthday!!! I love how you're discovering yourself. Definitely dress for your body shape and confidence. Clothing should be flattering and fun. I recently realized that I was in a fashion slump; Tees and jeans, older shoes, they made me look tired and like I had no style. I purged everything that didn't make me look amazing then purchased a few items that worked with what I kept. I've been having a great time rediscovering my fashionable side.

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.
10/12 152 Leaving today to stay with my sister for the weekend. I think she has scales so I will try and weigh in while there. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
10/13 Forgot to weigh before I ate

.
10/14 Did not weigh in this morning either, but there was lots of wine last night. See you all next round

10/05 – 174.5 -- (There’s that < 175 from last challenge!) Good day yesterday. Exercised. Ate in a smaller window yesterday and had an awesome, huge egg/sausage/cheese/spinach scramble for dinner!
10/06 -- 173.5 -- Very happy! Hit calorie/exercise goals. Did water aerobics and made my step goal!
10/07 – 174.5 -- Rats! Scale fluctuations! Not going to let it mess with my mind! Went for a last minute walk before dinner and made by 12000 steps in a brisk hilly walk!
10/08 – 173.5 -- Yay. Made ricotta pancakes to go with eggs & bacon for brunch. Ribs and black bean/corn salsa for dinner. Got in a long power walk.
10/09 – 175.5 -- Seems like a random big jump in the wrong direction. Happy with how I ate and exercised yesterday, so I’m assuming it’s water or fat cells prepping to whoosh.. Drank some salt water right before bed because I was feeling dizzy.
10/10 – 174.5 -- Everything was good on calorie and exercise and carb front yesterday.
10/11 – 173.5 – Here we go again.
10/12 – 173.5 – At last. Good eating yesterday. Only got 9400 steps yesterday. I was lazy in the morning but did Zumba in the afternoon.
10/13 – 171.5 – Very nice…..have to see if it sticks, on the other hand—it’s been a good week for me in all with carbs, exercise and walking! Walked, & water aerobics yesterday and lots of sashimi for dinner. Also had a spicy tuna roll which almost put me over carbs.
10/14 – 171 ?? – Scale was weird this morning. Weighed 2x and it said a shocking 169.5, then 5 minutes later up to 170. After church, having not had anything to eat or drink….it said 171. So let’s go with that, so I’m not chasing a phantom tomorrow! Had fabulous ribeye and salad for dinner and long afternoon walk.

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.

Round #1 Goal 165

Day/Weight/Comment
10/05 / 168.8 / -6.2
big water weight drop in weight after my first 500 calorie day. maintenance calorie day

10/06 / 168.4 / -.4
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 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'.

10/13 / 167 / -1.1

10/14 / 167 / -0
This is pretty good. I ate "healthy" cookies last night but stayed within maintenance calories.

Round 55 (#1 for me) Total loss -1.8

This is very reasonable. My average calorie intake for the past 10 days is 1605 and MFP says I maintain at 1880. It might be a bit more since I am still nursing my almost 2 year old sometimes, but I don't think it adds too much anymore. He is becoming a good eater.
I am pleased I didn't overeat this week during my period and I faithfully tracked for 10 days so I'm pleased with that as well. It has made it obvious to me why I have been gaining weight, I've just been eating too much! What a surprise

Round 54: SW 177.6 EW 176.6

🍁Day/Weight/Comment🍁
10/5 175.8 - I went to a family gathering last night and food was potluck style and I chose the healthiest I could and I did have a piece of fudge too. 🙂
10/06 178.2 - Oh wow. So TOM has started. And I over ate last night. I was tired and I realized I was snacking because I was tired, but I still did it. Today, I'll stay on track.
10/07 176.4 - Whew! Yesterday was a good day. I was a little under on calories and I was under on my step goal. I did do some resting yesterday which was nice and we took a family trip out to a pumpkin patch. Overall it was a nice day! Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends!
10/08 177.2 - Hmmm...🤔 water retention? I didn't really do any exercise over the weekend, so I want to get back on track with that. Have a great day friends!
10/09 177.6 - Wrong way! I don't understand. I was under on calories and I went for a walk yesterday. Work was crazy yesterday, so maybe stress? My period is pretty much over, so I'm not sure what's happening. Will stay on track and hopefully things are better tomorrow!
10/10 176.8 I came to a realization yesterday after dealing with some IBS issues for most of the day. I've gotten a little away from paleo eating. Not that I feel that I have been eating anything "bad." Just not necessarily what feels good for my body. And I'd forgotten that I'd decided to try raising my carbs just as an experiment. It's probably been a good week or two and I think I need to lower them a little. It's all just an experiment and I'll see how my body responds!
10/11 177.4 - I'm not quite sure what's happening here. I was under on calories and I went for a short walk and I had lots of water yesterday. So the good thing is that I did make good choices. I just wish the scale was reflecting that. It will, I just need to be patient.
10/12 176.4 - This past week has been all over the place! I am still hopeful to finish this challenge lower than what I started.
Yesterday, my son had his second cross country meet. He ran 1.5 miles in 19:47 which I think isn’t bad considering he just started running two weeks ago! I was feeling inspired watching these kids run and I got to thinking I just might have to give it a try! I’ve never considered myself a runner. Ever. I’ve had a larger body for most of my life, so I just never found it enjoyable. I’d made attempts before, but never really stuck with it. But now I’m thinking of working on it, that way I can help him to keep going too!
10/13 175.8 - Back to where I started this round! Hopefully I can finish out just a little lower. I was on track yesterday and I got in my steps. It's my weekend to work so I'll be working today. Have a great day!
10/14 177 - I'm baffled! I felt like yesterday was a pretty good day! I went to a friend's going away party and I guesstimated dinner calories, but I thought I was under. Maybe it was really salty. I don't know, hopefully next round goes better.

Thank you ❤️ Yeah, it’s a weird phase haha! The trouble is that my body has changed so much I dunno what shapes are flattering anymore 🙈 I’m gonna bring my mom with me tomorrow, and see if she can help me out a bit haha. She’s good with clothes, so I trust her to pick out something great for me to try on.

We should get out of our heads then and just focus on the positives! Easy to say that, but it will probably take some time to get used to it 🙈 We should all just be nicer to our bodies and actually celebrate the hard work we have put in to changing our lifestyles.

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!

10/12- 184.4- Had whole grain pasta again last night. Was really good, and I even lost weight this morning. This is a really good thing for me because I LOVE pasta, and I LOVE rice. But both always cause me to get an upwards fluctuation when I eat them. So being able to satisfy the craving AND still be able to lose weight is really awesome for me. Will definitely keep these new discoveries in my diet throughout my weightloss journey and after as well! 0.4 pounds to go to get to my goal for this challenge. and 4.4 pounds to go to my mini-goal of 180.0! Will try to get to this in the next challenge.

10/13- 183.4- Yay I got to my goal for the challenge! But now I'm kind of concerned about how fast I'm losing weight, to be honest.. I'm not sure how to feel. I'm really happy about losing but you also hear so often that it's not healthy to lose a lot of weight fast. I guess I haven't lost anything crazy so maybe this is just water weight or something. Really not sure but I'm excited to try to reach my 180 mini goal.

10/14- 185.2- LOL. Totally jinxed myself. Ahhhh. High sodium is a killer. I don't know why I did that ONE day before the last weigh in day for the challenge. Next time definitely will be more cognizant of that lol. But I still have a loss even with the fluctuation. So I'm gonna take it and just keep this in my for the next round!

ROUND 55 (Round 2 for me)
5’5” 65 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Round 54 – SW 178 lb. down to 171.8 lb. (6.2 lb. loss) This was my beginning of eating keto and tracking calories. I expect more realistic loss this round, but loss, none the less!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/05 171.6 I’m happy to be starting another round! After a big breakfast with our guests from Zimbabwe, Thor (my GSD) and I walked a little over 3 miles. I took water for both of us this time. Someone took my water before I returned for it, but I drank a little of Thor’s water. We walked a little slower than usual since I had a full tummy from breakfast.
10/06 171.4 No walk, getting ready for a 2-day bus trip, singing and eating with my sisters in Christ. When I joined the group, my husband groaned, because he didn’t want me to be heavy like the rest of the ladies. His fears were grounded, and I gained about 40 lbs. Fortunately, most of us in the group have gotten serious about getting back in shape, so I think I’ll eat okay this weekend. Thor and I will miss our walks, but we plan to start again on Monday.
10/07 On the road and off the scale.
10/08 170.8 (when I woke up) (170.6 after walk with Thor) I think I was experiencing keto flu the last couple of days. I drank a lot of fluids, ate plenty of calories that I didn’t try to count—including shrimp, ribs, chicken, veggies, and I ate a few extra carbs to combat the tired, yucky feeling I’ve read is common at the beginning of a keto regimen. I feel fine today.
10/09 171 Up a little, could it have been something I ate? 😊 Don’t worry, be happy! Took a short walk with Thor and a friend this morning—before the rain started. I read “The Movie Chair’s” blog on MFP this morning, entitled “Walk Through the Swamp.” I don’t know if I would call it motivational or a kick in the pants, but it’s a wonderful piece, whatever you call it. I printed out copies for a few friends and relatives.
10/10 170.2 That’s more like what I want to see. I found my Chalean Extreme DVD set, so strength training begins today.
10/11 171 (when I woke up) 170.2 (after walk) I confess I ate more than usual yesterday, but I was finally close to my target protein and fat counts. I didn’t have time to walk yesterday, and I didn’t do great on my strength training. It’s a lot harder than it was 7 years ago! Who would have guessed? I have a long way to go, but I’m pressing on. What have I got to lose?
10/12 170.0 That’s encouraging. Thor and I walked our 3.2 miles this beautiful, cool morning, and I didn’t bother weighing after the walk, since I liked the wake-up number. We stopped and drank our water after the first 2.5 miles. My toes didn’t hurt today, so that was an unexpected blessing. I’m praising God!
10/13 170.0 Fortunate, since I exceeded my carbs yesterday. Thor and I walked less than a mile from the house before my old hiking boot heel started flapping. We walked home a little slower and made it back before without the whole sole falling off. I cooked a big breakfast for my and hubby, and I’ll get my exercise burning brush before the rains start, hopefully. All things work together for good to them who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose (Rom 8:28). I’ve seen that over and over in my life. Have a blessed day, Fellow Losers! (I mean that in a good way—I love being a loser!)
10/14 170.0 I was a little disappointed and surprised not to see the scale reading go down this morning. With only short breaks, I spent 7 hours burning brush in two piles 100 yards apart, picking up broken limbs to fuel for the fires as I pulled my wagon through the woods. During the day, I drank two cups of salty bouillon to stave off dehydration when I started reaching the point of exhaustion, so that may have prevented loss. I’m happy I had at least a small loss this round, and I’m looking forward to moving into the 160’s next round. See you there!

P.S. Happy Birthday @Bendiz_ !

@ssssanaaaa As long as you aren't dehydrated enjoy your losses. Water weight shifts quickly, actual body mass losses happen over longer periods of time as demonstrated by your progress since your Round 1. Well done!

Thank you! You're right. There's no way such a huge loss happened in a few days. Definitely water weight with fluctuations here and there.

sue_01 · October 2018

10/05- I'm struggling, but I keep trying. I have been battling with a lot of swelling again and hair loss from Radiation.
10/06- our family had an early Thanksgiving dinner, I only ate half. of the food on my plate and with desert I was full. Took the rest home.
10/07- Planning meals for next week, goal more exercise.
10/08- This is a hard challenge for me, gave up bread, potatoes, noodles, I have been eating to much bread since I had surgery eating more fruits and vegetables, going for a long walk.
10/09-Eating healthy, getting my steps up again.
10/10Eating lots of vegetables and fruit.Drinking lots of water. Today exercise was down.
10/11- I cut out bread, pasta, ... I have been trying to cut bread out since the summer, I feel like I'm in control of my food again- steroids made it hard for me.
10/12- Feeling great, eating healthy, just have to get the exercise up.
10/13-Walking steps are up, lots of veggies, fruits no. snacking. Lost 3 pounds.
10/14- Watching what I'm eating, staying healthy!

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 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.

10/13 152.0
10/14 150.2 Next round is mine. No more yo-yoing. I'm going to plan ahead for those stressful meetings and walk out if I need to.

Round 53 SW 255.0 EW 249.2 = - 5.8
Round 54 SW 249.2 EW 248.2 = - 1.0

Day/Weight/Comment

10/05: 248.2 - No change in weight today. I'm hoping to see more of a downward trend this round now that TOM has passed.

10/06: 248.6 - I ate late yesterday.

10/07: 247.4 - I like seeing the scale drop!

10/08: 247.4 - I ate one fast food meal yesterday and it used up all of my calories. I'm so glad I don't eat out much.

10/09: 250.4 - Damn scale lol! That's my fault. I worked out for an hour then ate late. I'll try not to eat so late today.

10/10: 250.4 - I hate water retention! I tried a new routine Monday and I'm still sore. I plan to do that routine again tonight and I hope I can make it through the whole thing. I've been eating too much junk food lately. It's that time of year and everyone has candy. I've been trying to resist but it's definitely a challenge. People snack all day at work and smelling fast food and takeout has my cravings going mad.

On a sadder note, my favorite aunt in-law passed away suddenly of a stroke and I'm devastated. She was so young and amazing. She was fighting lung cancer and had a good prognosis. We were all hoping for the best. One of her son's, who was a twin, just had twins of his own. She was so loved and needed. I can't believe she's gone.

10/11: 250 - still sore from working out. I need to drink more water and eat light so this water retention will ease up. I have a Fat2Fit weigh-in tomorrow and I'm hoping I can drop some of the water by then.

10/12: 248.2 - coming down slowly again. I'll try not to go crazy this weekend! TGIF!

10/13: 247.6 - I'm hoping I see a smaller number tomorrow but I'll be eating cake today so probably not lol!

10/14: 250.2 - took my weight late today. Overate yesterday, ate some cake, and drank some booze lol! My sis and father in-law had a good birthday though. Goodnight everyone.

Total loss this round = 0.8 lbs

10/06 DNW hospital
10/07 DNW
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 doing well.

10/09 162 BMI 24.3
I got my mind back in the groove after a couple of very short cries. It all seems to be about mindset: whether it’s dieting, exercising, or rehabbing. What a difference a day makes!
10/10 161 BMI 24.1 Yay! 🎉
Excited to see extra fluids finally leaving my body! I keep gently moving throughout the day sipping water & parsley/mint tea. Cucumbers are next! Thank you again @jerier!! It worked! 😀
10/11 160 BMI 24.0 yay!!!🎉🎉
I am so relieved. I’m glad that I was able to get back into my routine and not get too discouraged with significant change of the number on the scale!! Hoping to be able to lose the rest of the 2.2 pounds soon to get back to where I was before the accident!! I thought this would take much longer.
Thank you.

10/12158.8 BMI=23.8!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I’m glad I curbed my appetite exercise exercise...I can’t tell you how discouraging it was to be all-time low wt on this journey, feeling lean &strong, and then break my arm on a long hike, resulting in 7-8 lbs of wt gain (half at fall, 1/2 at surgery).

My food & exercise & tracking habits saved me.
My Big Why saved me.
My knowing how it felt to be leaner saved me.

8.8 lbs to Final Goal❣

05/10 DOMS from the run yesterday, a lot of muscles waking up from their recent slumber

ate up to maintenance again yesterday but at a small deficit for the week, I will take that as a win on shark week

06/10 Went for a walk down an old railway line 12km in total with a little stop off for a read of my book and a pint.

07/10 Very productive day today, all my housework caught up on, got my meal prep done, 40 minute strength training session done and 3 hours of rowing out on the river on a rare route that only comes up when the tides are right a couple of times per year.

08/10 Had a lovely active & productive weekend, now to keep it up through the week, goals for today are to hit steps goal (as drove into work today), sort my vitamin box out for the week and write up my plan for food for the rest of the week.

09/10 Nothing really to report, yesterday was a rest day. Met my goals from yesterday. Today's goals are to get out for a run this evening and hit calorie and protein target.

10/10 Did strength training instead of a run, hit protein target, calorie target was nowhere near, wasn't hungry just bored and emotional about some stuff

11/10 Went out for my run last night, did a bit longer route with some walking breaks, stuck to food plan yesterday, got a good amount of protein in. Goals for today have a good rest day, get a decent sleep and do some yoga this evening.

End of Round - had the Friday off work, slept most of Friday & Saturday, really not been feeling well. Got out for a good walk on Sunday. End weight isn't looking great, but it is what it is. Lifted heavier this week than normal and started running again so confident a good portion of the gain is just water as back down a bit this morning already

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.
10/13 - Saturday - 180.4
10/14 - Birthday! - Sunday - 180.2 Had some password resetting issues over the weekend. But I had an awesome unplugged weekend! The weekend ended up being pretty foodcentric, with special breakfasts, dinners, brunches, and chocolates. But I kept it real honest and enjoyed whatever I liked to my tummys content. I only grossly overate once so I'm proud of that being that it used to be regularly and birthday weekends meant 10x the usual. I'm back up a bit today, but thats okay! Getting right back at it today. And thats my favorite transformation of all so far - is that I'm that much quicker to jump right back up and keep going.

Autumn Season Goals
[*] Improve meal planning and food prepping - get some freezer meals ready, and do what I can today to make tomorrow easier.
[*] Have protein shake for breakfast with blueberries and flax milk 5/7 days a week
[*] Move more - body weight strengthening exercises every bathroom trip, and in other down time
[*] Be more intimate - getting comfortable in my own skin again is a learning process
[*] Commit to taking fish oil at least once each day - build up to twice. Follow up appointment in December
[*] Be positive - dream big - build strong foundations.
[*] Weight Goal = 170 lbs by 1/7/2019

10/9- 198.0 - 5 am post workout this am. had an intense leg workout yesterday
10/10- 195.0 5am post workout. Ate well yesterday but ended up having a snack attack late last night. I was still under calories (7 under lol). workout 3/5 for this week complete
10/11- 193.2 5am post workout. losing quite a bit of water weight, I am happy to see this. 4/5 workouts complete for this week. Was under calories yesterday, im slowing experimenting with KETO, not sure if I can commit to it.
10/12 193.0 5am post workout. 5/5 workouts complete for this week yay! I haven't been able to get up consistently in several months so I am very proud to have gotten in 5 workouts during my long week. Failed at keto yesterday (ate a subway sandwich for lunch) but tried to still stay under on carbs. I'll try and give it another go today
10/13- ?? 193 something is up with my scale. Numbers were all over the place 3 different times (187, 197, then 191) so lets just call it a no change...today is rest day. I did well with keto yesterday. Im finding out there are carbs in everything and its so depressing. What do you eat for breakfast? ive had bacon and boiled eggs everyday this week im over
10/14- 193.2 forgot to post, was very busy at work. was over on calories bc I had wings for dinner. I didn't even track they were so good. wings are keto right!?!?
10/15- 193.4 post workout 5am. workout 1/5 this week complete! and its my last day of work for the week finally!! just hope I can stay on track next week as that's usually when I tend to get lazy with my eating. Anyone have really good sites for keto recipes?

SW: 289.2 (8/1/18)
CW: 270.4 (-18.8)
IGW: 259 by 10/31/18

R54 (my 1st) SW 271.4 EW 270.4 (-1.0)

Log food in MFP 10/10 days
>1200 <1420 calories 8/10 days
Drink 54+oz water 8/10 days (this will be my 1st round trying to log qty water)

Intentional Exercise 5/10 days
Weight <= 268.4 (>=2 lb loss)

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) 1328 calories, 68g protein, 41oz water

10/13 267.0 (-0.4) 1216 calories, 85g protein, 40oz water

10/14 267.0 (no change) 1311 calories, 80g protein, 37oz water

-3.4# for the round! Kept within calorie goal 9/10 days. But only 2 days of intentional exercise, only hit my protein goal 5/10 days and only hit water goal 4/10 days. Definitely need to improve on the water!!! And get more exercise!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 55
