🍁10/15🍃 150.8 this weekend was a wash. I managed to stay under calories but the food choices were a bit questionable and I managed to work out but not like I had been during the week before I got sick. I am feeling better today but still have a dry cough which is just as bad as a stuffy nose. Hoping to get back into my routine today. Regardless a loss is a loss and I hope it stays that way

🕸10/16🕷 150.4 yesterday I had an ok day. Eating didn't have much variety, high carb day, exercised for a little over an hour and drank 1.3 liters of water. Still have a cough which is starting to annoy me. Want to get back to my usual workout

🎃10/17🎭 150.0 ate under and exercised good, drank 1.3 liters. This is where my weight starts to tease me..lol

⚰10/18🔮 149.8 Had a super hungry day yesterday and only got one small exercise in. It was all substantial food, not junk but I still couldn't help how hungry I was. Drank 1.3 liters. I'm going to wait a day to make sure this number is locked before I get excited...even if a little part of me already is

Day/Weight/Comment

10/15 - 150 - No surprise there, I had spaghetti both Saturday and Sunday night (within calories) and very little water.
10/16 - 149.5 - Nice to see this morning. More water today!
10/17 - 149 - I'm having lunch with a client today, so I'm glad I'm down a little more. He's taking me to a private restaurant at his club, so there is no online menu for me to pre-plan my meal. Nine months ago I wouldn't have though twice about it. Now, I'm going to take the advice that I've learned here and make the best choices I can to mitigate the damages for tomorrow's weigh in.
10/18 - 148 - Surprise! I ordered the baked cod for my business lunch yesterday (it would not have been my choice earlier this year) and this morning I'm happy I did.

10/15: 168.4 - I'm easing into things this (first, for me) round. My goals are to avoid takeout meals and to exercise at least 5 of the 10 days.
10/16: 168.3 - I successfully avoided takeout yesterday. I will try to squeeze in a workout this evening.
10/17: 169.8 - I got off track yesterday (worked late and got takeout for dinner; no workout). Will try to do better today.
10/18: 170.4 - Yesterday was fine food-wise, but I still haven't gotten any workouts in. I'm dealing with some hormonal water retention at the moment, so I'm not too focused on the variation in numbers on the scale.

🎯Mini Goal: 173
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!
10/17 175.2 - Awesome! I had a really nice walk yesterday. And I got to eat one of my favorite dinners! And...nsv! I went to Victoria's Secret because I had a gift card. I've never shopped there before because I guess I assumed they wouldn't have my size. They did a fitting and the size gave me a surprise! I thought oh my gosh have I been buying the wrong size all along? Does anyone know? Are their cup sizes different? Anyway, I felt so confident and happy in a bra that actually fit me right! It makes such a difference! For the first time in a long time I was happy with what I saw in the mirror! Such a good feeling!
Exercise 2/6 is complete!
10/18 176.6 - Huh. The only thing I can think of is that dinner the past couple of nights was kind of high in sodium. Last night, I started feeling some IBS symptoms so I'm feeling pretty bloated. Not sure what's causing it. Hopefully it passes soon.

10/15: 157.2/Committed to sticking with my goals this round.
10/16: 155.8/Ran on the treadmill yesterday instead of outside and I hated it, but with the fall setting in I don't have much of a choice.
10/17: 155.2/Had a work conference, worried about blowing my diet, but kept it together.
10/18: 154.0/Feeling great! Went for a run outside yesterday. It days like this that motivate me to keep going and not drink that glass of wine or eat a whole bag of chips. I have just over 2 weeks(my birthday)to hit my goal of getting into the normal BMI range, which is attainable as long as I keep focused.

Round 56 (My 10th)

10/15 152 I'm really surprised I didn't gain anything from the weekend. I felt so full and yucky yesterday from all the wine I had Saturday night. I only had 700 calories yesterday though because I really couldn't eat much. Not complaining though! Hope you all are well, I didnt have much time on my phone this weekend to read all your posts but I plan to go back through them today

.
10/16 151 Woohoo! So close to the 140's. I was just thinking back to my crazy hunger phase that I had back in September. So glad I pushed through it. It has definitely gotten easier

.
10/17 151 (forgot to post but did weigh)
10/18 151 I originally set myself a goal of 148 by Halloween. Working hard to reach it! I know I can do it.

R55 (my 2nd) SW 270.4 EW 267.0 (-3.4)

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
10/16: 266.4 (-0.8) took a break during the afternoon at work and went for a walk 1318 calories, 93g protein, 63oz water
10/17: 265.6 (-0.8) ended up at the Mexican restaurant for dinner. Avoided the chips even though that basket sat in front of me taunting me the whole time. Probably should've ordered a salad but had chile rellenos instead. 1388 calories, 89g protein, 76oz water
10/18: 267.0 (+1.4) I actually feel bigger today, ugh.

No more snacking and I'm going to stick to my meal plan! I'm also going to do 30 minutes of cardio each night if not more. I need to get this weight off so I can reward myself and go shopping.

10/15 131.8 Today will focus on water intake, pre-logging food and 10k+ steps. Volunteering today which will keep be busy and out of the house/kitchen. I’ve packed a few high protein snacks, filled my water bottle. Will do a 4:30 HIIT workout with my daughter. Looking forward to homemade turkey soup for dinner! I made it through the day without caving to the temptation of one of my daughter's delicious homemade oatmeal choc chip cookies! Now the Halloween candy while volunteering (1 fun size pack of M/Ms and 2 Starburst pieces)--I couldn't resist. I did log them though.

10/16 131.2 No cookie with my coffee this morning--NSV/2 days in a row! Will see if the candy corns sway me this afternoon.

Something about having that sweet at 3:00…. Worked out this morning with hubs (25 mins/elliptical, ab work) Pulled something in my upper back/shoulders so won’t get my stairs in as hoped.

Hopefully, I can get one session in this week, though. I’ve pre-logged my food today and will get my 64oz of water in for sure.

10/17 131 Cookie and candy corn update—they won yesterday! The insidious cookie worked it’s way into my hand during This Is Us…worst possible time! I’m not too upset about the candy corns, though. I treated myself to 5 at a time throughout the day (total of 15/100 cal). Otherwise, I ate healthy and clocked 21K steps (lots of back and forth, cleaning around the house, walked Brewster).

Back/shoulder pain subsided and I’m ready to do a stair session this morning! Pleased with the .2lb loss. A loss is a loss, right?

Interesting day today. Opted for a protein shake for lunch. It was yummy and seemed to fill me up, but I really like to actually chew my food, so found myself ordering an 8 count grilled Chik Fil A nugget an hour and a half after the smoothie. Not a bad fast food choice, but am not sure I’d have wanted that if I had an actual meal for lunch. Felt ‘unsatisfied’ and tired all day. Will go back to eating actual food tomorrow. Anticipate a bit of a gain thanks to salt intake and beverages this evening.

10/18 131.4 As suspected, slight gain. I’ve pre logged my meals this morning and will take Brewster for a 3 mile walk. Busy day of errands and plans to meet friends for happy hour this afternoon. Will ride my bike to/from and burn a few more calories.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.

10/17 - 192.6, moving the right way today! Last night, I was eating Monday's leftovers for dinner, and realized I made a mistake tracking the meal, and was shy 300 calories! That also helps explain the increase yesterday... figured it out and fixed my mistake. I'm hoping I can hit 190 by the end of this round... I haven't seen a 1-8 at the front of my weight in years (unless the scale has been glitching haha) and it's feeling so close!

10/18 - 193.0... ARG.

I haven't been sleeping well this week, maybe that's why I'm really not seeing the scale move? Feeling pretty frustrated, kind of want to just give up for the week and dive bomb into a loaf of bread. I won't though. Still, pretty annoyed.

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.
10/17 - Wednesday - 184.0 - House guest kindly bought us pizza for dinner as a thank you last night - I had no self control and ate 3 pieces and was hungrier after so I kept eating like the hungry caterpillar. Oh well moving on! Missed my morning goals to trade for extra snuggle time. If I've learned anything so far - its that I just gotta keep trying, despite the trips, stumbles, and falls!
10/18 - Thursday - 181.2 - Alright! Not enough water yesterday. Working on that today. Kept dinner reasonable yesterday with leftover soup and a piece of bread and butter. I wanted something sweet after so badly but fortunately we didn't have anything! Prelogged today and its helping me stay on track better, even when things change I know where I'm at better than logging after the fact. Did 10 minutes of stretching and core work last night - just enough to feel my muscle work and get some endorphins flowing - then took a sauna and relaxed myself to bed early! Wasnt able to get up when I first woke - rolled around til 7 - really need to stop doing that and wake up with the stretching in the morning too maybe - it made me feel great! Started the day with smoothie and fish oil and even remembered my meds! My libra weight trend app started really getting me down as it showed my 170 goal wont be achieved until JUNE! I want to be 150 by june! But it's not the apps fault Its just been a ton of celebrating and that is something I'm learning how to work through, emotional eating as celebration is just as damaging as emotional eating to ease pain so I'm working on that especially during this upcoming season of celebrations!
