10/15 176.4 - It's my "Friday" today and I'm excited! I'm off tomorrow, then I work 1/2 a shift then I'm off the rest of the week!
I think I'm going to make it my goal this round to exercise 6 out of 10 days.
10/16 176 - I spent 10 minutes on the elliptical last night before deciding I just wasn’t feeling it, so I went for about a 10 minute walk. Today I’m off and I’m thinking of going for a walk today. We’re going to Chipotle for dinner tonight! I’m excited, I love Chipotle! 🙂
Exercise 1/6 is complete!

Did well on my weight loss last round but not on my other goals. Will be leaving on vacation on 10/20 so I won't be able to finish out this round since I won't have internet access. I also won't be tracking my food/calories while I'm gone. I plan to enjoy eating on the cruise without going overboard on junk. I also plan to focus on increasing my water intake and getting more exercise on vacation.
Goals this round:
Log food in MFP 5/10 days (only doing 1st 5 days of the round)
>1200 <1420 calories 5/10 days
Drink 54+oz water 5/10 days
Weight <= 265.4 (>=1.6 lb loss) on morning of 10/20
Round 56
10/15: 267.2 (+0.2) made whole wheat spaghetti for dinner. First time having pasta since July and I had high expectations, but frankly it was awful! Didn't eat much and ended up just having a protein shake to get my calories up and get some protein. I still want the sweets (but avoiding them except for my low sugar protein shakes and an occasional piece of dark chocolate) but have no interest in starches. 1114 calories, 104g protein, 50oz water

10/15 - Monday - 183.4 - Birthday celebrations increase - to be expected. Gave myself some grace this weekend and getting back at it today!
10/16 - Tuesday - 184.2 - Did NOT get back at it yesterday. Mom wanted pasta and any excuse is a good excuse for pasta to me. Then I continued the gluttony with a brownie after dinner that made my tummy hurt. And now I am REALLY getting back to it today. Had smoothie, fish oil and took meds already this morning. Going to prelog the day and make it a good one, no matter what I eat - I will eat the correct portion size.

10/15 - 192.4, following a weekend getaway with some pretty lax eating. Looking forward to focusing on my goal for the next 10 days!
10/16 - 193.0, which I think is some delayed fallout from my bingey weekend. Also, I had 150 cals of popcorn for a post-workout carb last night just before bed, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of that gain is salt retention too. Ate within my targets yesterday, so I'm sure I'll see the scale moving in the right direction soon.

Day/Weight/Comment
🎀10/15 - 180.2 - Still tired lol. 65g carbs, 52g net carbs. Last night I thought I would have a good report on carb intake, then I remembered the bread and butter that I ate with my DGD, smh. I have some reading to do on the last thread.
🎀 10/16 - 181.6 - I have been neglecting my electrolytes. Sodium and potassium have been very low for the past 2 weeks. Probably also contributing to my tiredness. Carbs were higher than 25g yesterday, but I can go as high as 50g without a problem. So, the plan is electrolytes twice a day until my body adjusts.

Seeking lower bodyfat%☺ Yes, I absolutely need electrolytes. When I don't need them the water tastes salty to me, when I do need them, I cannot detect any saltiness. The water just seems to have a smoothness to it. If that makes sense.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.
I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. On the other hand when I look at the big picture and the averages it has been a consistent loss except for two rounds. Round 53 was my 50 birthday celebrations that upped my weight for a few days.
I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

Just saw this group, I need the motivation to start and keep it going. I have gained all of my previous weight and feel terrible. The day is about half over so I will have to check my weight tonight when I get home. However, I started my journey this morning by walking for 30 minutes but also broke the diet by drinking a hot chocolate at snack time (I needed to warm/wake up in my office).
@melperr Welcome! I love hot cocoa and absolutely refuse to give it up. Try making it with 1/2 the packet/serving of cocoa and a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. This little tweak saved me calories and cut my sugar intake quite a bit. (Sugar is a major binge trigger for me and makes me retain water.) Now I don't even bother with the presweetened cocoa.
My recipe for a BIG mug of coziness:
8 oz unsweetened almond milk
4-6 oz of water
1 TBS of unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder
Erythritol and cinnamon to taste
Warm milk, water, cocoa, and cinnamon in a pot, stirring or whisking until completely combined.
Pour hot mixture into large mug and stir in a bit of erythritol until just sweetened enough.

10/16 - 192.5 is not night snacking that effective?? Maybe it’s avoiding peanut butter.. I’ve been kind of obsessed lately lol

10/15 148.6 @MadisonMolly2017 You're losing so consistently, it's very inspiring.
10/16 147.8 It's a meeting day, so I have to go in prepared. I can't stress out and binge on snacks someone brings in. This morning I was cleaning the kitchen after my son was kind enough to make dinner, so I didn't have my normal healthy breakfast. The cafeteria didn't have good options either. I'll have to be really careful the rest of the day.
Some of you post you TOMs. Why is that? Does your weight fluctuate?

@melperr you didn't ruin anything just because you indulged in a beverage, you just have you work the rest of your calories around it. I used to drink hot chocolate when I was a kid but as an adult the sugar content does a number on my stomach...but I am a huge coffee drinker but I used too take it with 3 cream and 3 sugar. It was the highest calorie in drinks I was having...until I was fed up and decided to decrease. At first brought it down to 2 cream 2 sugar, then 1 cream 1 milk 2 sugar then 1 cream 1 milk 2 sweetner Now I drink 2 milk and 2 sweetner, although I am slowly making my way down to drink it black (not a fan of sweetner) don't worry about not being able to kick it all at once but once you are comfortable for the beverage decrease, just alter it a bit by bit. Maybe add milk or almond milk and decrease the actual hot chocolate portion. You would be surprised how easy after a while5

ROUND 56 (Round 3 for me)

SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Third week on Keto WOE and impressed with decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain. Yay!
Round 54 – SW 178 lb. down to 171.8 lb. (6.2 lb. loss) This was my beginning of eating keto and tracking calories.
Round 55 – Finished at 170.0 (1.8 lb. loss)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 169.2 This is the number I wanted to see yesterday, but today’s good, too. It was raining when I woke up for my walk with Thor (my GSD). So, we slept another 1½ hours, and it was still raining. I’ll have to exercise inside today. Thor can run in the yard, and I’ll dry him off. I’m happy I mowed my yard and burned my brush piles before the rain started. I'd rather work outside, but I'll bake oatmeal cookies for my thin husband, cook Turkey Cabbage Stew to portion out and freeze, and do my husband's ironing so he'll look well cared for. After the rain stops—plant winter garden. Praying for a blessed day for all you fellow losers! I love being a (weight) loser.
10/16 168.4 Unexpected! I hope it doesn’t come back tomorrow. I have lunch at the women’s club meeting today—good time to practice restraint in preparation for the 10-day singing ministry tour in New England states next month.

@frida001 personally yes my weight fluctuates big time. Sometimes by 2 pounds sometimes as high as 5. Writing it down is just the reassurance of water weight and retention, just like DOMS. For me it's to affirm that the gain has nothing to do with my progress and will quickly drop as fast as I gained it.7

10/15 149.4 Head back in the game after this maintenance trend since round 53. I do feel really good at this weight, but would like to drop a little bit more before I call it official. I don't want my maintenance to fluctuate so close to the next decade!!
10/16 DNW I had a meeting with my staff yesterday and they surprised me with a feast of homemade food, so pretty much threw in the towel as I had to fully indulge and appreciate the love that was given through their food. Scared to step on the scale, only the second time this has happened on this journey (scale fear, not binging!). I feel so bloated today, but such is life. I plan on a today being a great day!

Yes @frida001, I know my weight generally goes up a little just before and the first day or two of my period. It's normally just water retention that passes within a few days.4

Back for another Round. This will be Round 7 for me. Finally starting to get in a consistent down trend. If I can consider two challenges in a row a trend. Oh well I'll take it. Here's to another ten day challenge. These are great because it really does keep me accountable. As much as I don't want to log the bad days I make myself do it as its the only way to keep me honest with myself and accountable.

10/15 – 267lbs (-2lbs) Just as I suspected. Dropped two pounds after getting home for a day. Seems those grapes did some water retention. However on the good side they are way better for snacking than the peanuts. I'll stick with that for now. Feeling good about taking in those belt notches!
10/16 - 267 lbs (No Change) Rainy day blahs… Time to increase my water intake again. Hmmm was that the rain calling…
