10/16: 248.8 - hoping I have a good drop this round.
10/17: nwt - forgot to step on the scale.
10/18: 250 - I've been having a hard time staying within my calories because people keep bringing treats to work. I have to stop accepting them but it's so hard. I plan to do better starting today! 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. I told myself I can't buy new clothes until I drop another dress size.

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.

10/16 - 259.2 - feeling a bit stuck lately
I didn’t plan meals super well today, and we eat dinner super early for hubby’s schedule, so I went over calories with some junk food after the kids went to bed. I really want to learn how to have a little treat, but keep it under control and no gym today, just regular life and walking around the park - steps - 16,496
10/17 - 258.9 - I am proud of myself for saying ‘no’ to desert after lunch, and exercising instead!! First day in a long time I did not hit my step goal -13,566 (goal of 15k)

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!

Day 2!
Starting Weight: 237.8 (this round)
Goal End Weight: 233.0 (This seems like a lot but I am certain I have acquired a lot of bloat from a weekend of drinking and going out with friends).
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15: 237.8. This weekend was filled with all the things I love: good company, good food, and good drinks. I overdid it and did not try to measure or stop myself, hence this increase from my last recorded weight (233ish). I am working on incorporating small activity at least 3 days a week and starting small. Going back to tracking everything as that has always been helpful. Wish me luck everyone!
10/16: ?
10/17: ?
10/18: 233.8. Not sure what happened I may have mixed up my days... but here we are. I think this loss is due to reduction in bloating and just not eating chocolate and sushi every day (which I did all weekend... true story!) Maintaining my water intake and trying to get in some activity.

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.

R55 Vacation
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 DNW Vacation
10/16--220.4 I'm back from my vacation! Considering how little water I drank and the amount of food I ate during my 10 day vacation I am estatic that my scale showed an increase of less than 5 lbs. Of course when I attempted to weigh my food this morning on my food scale the scale showed a low battery so I couldn't weigh my food. I have the day off today, so this morning is a massage, I need it from all of the walking I did on the trip, and possibly Zumba later tonight. I will probably take the dog out for a longer walk this afternoon since it is going to be a great sunny fall day today.
10/17--220.6 Tired. I also feel like I have a cold coming on. I am very glad that I was able to get right back to my food logging after my trip. Goal today is to get my water in.
10/18--220.9 Don't know why the scale is going up I can only think that it is due to my body trying to fight this cold off and post vacation eating fluctations. Slept for 9 hours last night and could have slept for more. I will just stay focused with my eating and stay hydrated. Yoga tonight.
10/19--220.6 Yoga was great last night. I decided to take advantage of the free pass at the gym, so I went there after yoga. Lifted some weighs and swung some kettlebells. Gym was really nice and there was no hard sell to buy a membership. I have two more free visits. It was nice to wake up a little sore this morning. Still a little tired, but I think I have stopped the cold. Working on my water again today.

Day/Weight/Comment
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. I feel so bloated today, but such is life. I plan on a today being a great day!
10/17 150.6 Did really well yesterday, this is the fallout from the weigh in I skipped. I am pre tracking my food today, walking the hill, drinking at least 12 of my big 14 oz glasses of water today, and practicing gratitude.
Looking to get out of maintenance to lose these last 10 or so lbs. My body feels good except for the inevitable AM bloat from eating carbs I think. Planned my day based on hitting my protein goals first.
10/18 148.8 Yay! Pretracking works, driniking lots of water works! got in about 98 oz yesterday, which is not quite the lofty goal I set but had me consciously drinking more and often. Only downside is dreams at night of having to pee and getting up too many times. But I'll take this lower number in exchange anyday! Plan on repeating the plan today, with a mini goal of getting to 147.xx this round. Have a great day everyone!

10/17 197lbs ... my scale must be broken .. 4lbs gain in two days !!!! Hopefully, I'll start losing again. Still exercising and chugging the water. Refuse to let this get me down, just hope my body starts adjusting
@missm2 Most likely water retention due to sugars and/or sodium. Check the labels on your food and beverages. Our bodies can easily shift 5+ pounds of water throughout the day. Weighing first thing upon waking tends to be the most accurate.
I'm a good example of this. Had sushi and beer last night and I'm up 1.6 lbs from yesterday. I'll be drinking plenty of plain water and a few cups of parsley tea. @tiabirdie56 posted a link to the recipe on the fist page of this challenge.7 -

OSW: 74kg May 2018
GW: below 70kg in Oct and stay there
UGW: below 65 by end of the year
Rounds 47-55 EW: 73-70.5kg
10/15 70kg oh wow, but then, i didn't have dinner yesterday. Went boxing in the morning, then for brunch, where we started drinking, ended up far too drunk and in bed by about 9.30pm... So this weight is after a very long sleep, let's see what tomorrow brings.
I'm off this week, which means I'll be able to exercise more, but also have to make mors of an effort to get my steps done. Today is a hung over rest day.
10/16 71kg - to be expected. I felt very sorry for myself yesterday and ended up not logging after lunch. I had loads of snacks in the eve but at least made it out for a walk to get my steps in despite being very sore from Sunday's boxing. Today started well, off work, so had a lie in, did some yoga befor weighing and breakfst and will either run or go boxing again tonight.
10/17 71kg still. Under cals yesterday, but quite a bit of exercise, however my run wasn't very successful. I stopped and walked after around 20mins, but went boxing in the eve - I think this is becoming an addiction... While I don't log boxing cals, I managed to get quite a few from the long walk and running a few errands. Also did Yoga in the morning and will get ready for day 2 now.
10/18 - 71kg still but I know why. Not going to work this week means I have to put extra effort in to make my step goals, which I didn't yesterday. It was also a rest day, but I ate like it was a very busy work out day, I just wanted things all afternoon and evening. Today, I'm posting very late, started with day 3 of adriene's yoga this morning, then went for a run this afternoon. It took quite a while to get into it, I haven't run as much as I wanted cos I'm so hooked on boxing these days. It really showed me how different muscle groups are used on different work outs. While I feel i'm making progress boxing and with the drills, running wasn't very good two days ago and still quite stiff today. I need to balance workouts more.
My motivation to log is a bit low, but this group is keeping me accountable.11 -
10/18: 250 - I've been having a hard time staying within my calories because people keep bringing treats to work. I have to stop accepting them but it's so hard. I plan to do better starting today! 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. I told myself I can't buy new clothes until I drop another dress size.
Maybe you can rephrase this to be a positive affirmation. "I deserve new clothes and will buy them because I am a smaller dress size."6 -

10/17 —128.8— happy to see it go down a bit, but today was another early wake up and my body is sore from yesterday. Rest of the week I get to relax more😊
10/18 —127.4— This seems to be the pattern every week.. slowly going up Sunday to Wednesday and then a sudden drop when I can sleep good!

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.
10/17 - 179.8 - Electrolytes X 2✔ 10 hours of sleep?!✔✔ That NEVER happens. Still tired though, lol. Inadvertently, I did a sort of egg fast. My first meal, I ate 2 boiled eggs that were sitting in the fridge with some cheddar cheese. I wasn't in the mood for the dinner that I prepared, so my second meal was an omelette filled with spinach and arugula.
10/18 - Scale weight was all over the place this morning. Started with 172, ten times! Ended with 180.2, three times. Other numbers in between. Hopeful that it will settle tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 – 161.9 - Early to the gym today as hubby needed the car so posting late. Sure feels good to have worked the muscles a bit.
10/16 - 162 – Argh, the last few weeks coming home to roost. Having fed the cravings monster faithfully, now have to beat it back and kick it out. Listened to Youtube last night and someone made an aside comment about the theory that what we eat promotes certain bacteria in our gut so if we eat lots of sugar/carbs we will crave that because that is what our gut bacteria now want.
10/17 - 161.4 Gym today. Got some apples in the house again. They are so good at this time of year and keep me from other desserts/snacks.

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. Some of you post you TOMs. Why is that? Does your weight fluctuate?
10/17 149.4 I gorged on vegetables before my meeting so I wouldn't be tempted with the chips and chocolates. I resisted!!!! yay me! My anxiety was up, but I resisted. I did go over on my calories a little bit and had a lot of salt. I can bring this down by drinking lots of water when I get home. I can't drink at work.
10/18 148.8 I made an amazing tandoori chicken on the grill last night. My sons are eager to start eating healthy too, so I'm motivated to cook really healthy foods.

10/15--- not sure because I did not weigh myself on this day
10/16--- 296.8 I know this because Tuesday's are my weigh in days for another challenge
10/17--- 297.1 I had fried fish the night before so this could be why I'm up a little bit
10/18--- 297.7 I'm ok with this because I've had too much sodium the last couple of days. I worked out this morning and will drink lots of water today.

I'm a little late posting this time because I had some work related travel this week that kept me away from my scale and busy- but I'm in for these 10 days. I'm a little bummed because at the end of the last 10 day challenge, I didn't gain or lose anything, but I did make some strides with exercise and logging. So I was disappointed that apparently I gained 2 lbs immediately after, to weigh in for this one.

Day/Weight/comment
10/15: 196.2 -- what? This is the highest weight that I've seen in a while and it is super discouraging. I've been logging religiously and working out- I guess I've got to lower my calories.
10/16: no weight, work travel
10/17: no weight, work travel
10/18: 196.2 -- STILL. I guess this isn't surprising. I was very sedentary the last few days and the work trip came with lots of eating events. I am bummed though because I was hoping the 196 number was a fluke. I guess I need to own it. Today my goal is to stick within my calorie range and show a big deficit. I also want to get my body movin'!

Hello, I just found this board. Would love to join even if I'm late to the party. I could use the help in getting to goal. I'm giving myself 5 lb increments to get to goal. I am hoping this group will help me stay accountable.
Let's get started . CW is 158.3, my GW is 153. Let's see how this goes.
10/10 158.3
10/12 156.9
10/15 156.7
being extra mindful of after work/after dinner snacking. Am particularly glad since i am down .2 from after a weekend away. That's a big win for me.
10/16 157.9 totally my fault I thought I had picked healthier foods that day and then did the calculations after and realized the error of my ways. Good reminder
10/17 157.1 I made extra careful choices and drank more water. Rest of the week will be a challenge as i have several business meetings over dinners and lunches. But mindfulness will be my watchword!
10/18 156.7 I did make good choices after all
