    Hola,

    7/15/18: 119.4
    8/1/18: 118.2
    9/1/18: 117.2
    10/1/18: 116.8
    10/30/18: 114.4

    I'm calling it a close for October, since I won't be weighing myself tomorrow.
    Didn't meet my October goal (113.2), but still was at a loss, so I'll take it!

    Will focus on not eating my body weight in Halloween candy the next several weeks.
    Our neighborhood is VERY generous, with king-size candy bars and many handfuls of candy!

    The No Late Night Snack Challenge is still really helping me.
    I used to blow all the good/hard work at night when I'd aimlessly eat hundreds of calories.


    Still killing it in the gym!
    Back to 24kg KB swings 5x10
    Did 1 deadlift at 155# (haven't done that in 2+ years!)



    Amanda
    4'11"
    SW 119.4 - 7/15/2018
    lowest weight 113.2 - 10/2016
    GW#1 113.1 updated
    GW#2 108.9
    GW#3 99

    I should reach my GW#1 by mid-November, and
    I would like to maintain through the Holidays (Thanksgiving/Christmas/NYE).

    GW#2 will be the next Challenge.

    I am focusing on reducing body fat, shaping my booty, and achieving 8 pullups (current max is 7).
    My workouts: weight-training, yoga, and volunteer farming.
    Calories: ~1200-1500

    Appreciate all help.
    Thanks.

    Sounds like an awesome &reasonable plan @MissLotte !!

    I recommend two other groups to insure your success! The monthly 24 hours of exercise discussion in Challenges.

    And the UAC - Ultimate Accountability Group. There is a discussion in Challenges with a link to join the group.

    Hi and welcome to everyone new!Hadn’t checked in for a couple weeks, so I thought I would try posting to avoid the temptation calling me from the kids candy bags! Since my last check-in, I’ve been inconsistent with my eating and logging, but trying to get back on track this week (seems like the theme for October). I’m down since my last post here but have been ping ponging a bit for the past 2 week and still can’t get back to my beginning of the month weight! Fingers crossed- November is better! Hope everyone had a happy Halloween and managed to limit the candy!

    10/9 168.0.
    Weighed yesterday (10/25) 170.2

    Feeling very angry and frustrated. In the past when I reach 170 I tended to get stuck, would feel discouraged, then would give up and gain the weight back. This time around I thought there had been personal progress, but here I go again gaining the wight back! I'm super pissed that I'm getting stuck in the same cycle. I need to do something to truly stop this craziness. I'm not going to give up on my long-term goal of 160 by the end of the year, but I AM throwing in the towel on my October goal of 165. Smh. If I keep fighting myself I will end up with more self sabotage. Tapping out for a few days seems logical. November 1st I will recommit.

    I feel like I’m in the same boat with the frustration-quit-gain cycle! Really want to break it, so I’m with you! Also had to give up on my “Halloween” goal, but I keep trying to remember that ups and downs are okay because this is long term change and won’t always come easy. Just think of how much is stinks to start over after you give up and keep at it so you won’t be starting over next month or next year!

    Starting weight - 249.5 - March 2017
    Lowest weight - 202 - December 2017
    Goal weight 183 (planned maintenance range 180-186)

    6/29/18 - 208.5 - Making a fresh start for Onederland after Independence Day.
    7/6/18 - 209.5 - A little temporary gain from the holiday carb fest. Here we go!
    7/12/18 - 210.5 - Arrggghhhh! The bad news - the scale is going the wrong way. The good news - I'm getting my workouts in - lifting numbers are going up - I'm staying under my calorie target. Next week will be better.
    7/26/18 - 209 - slowly moving in the right direction. Lifting numbers still going up. Getting most of the workouts in. Logging all the food - looks like I should lower the calorie target just a bit.

    8/2/18 - 209 - turns out yesterday's whoosh was just a tease. DAMMIT! Oh, well - maintenance is good. Ate Tex-Mex in a restaurant last night. I probably should be pleased with a flat line. HAHA! :)
    8/9/18 - 207.5 - Great - some progress, finally. And I saw 206 again earlier in the week. Onward and downward!
    8/16/18 - 208 - AARRGGHH! - Getting frustrated here. I keep telling myself "Maintenance is good. You're not gaining. LIfting numbers are still going up." Regardless, I'd like to see some slow weight loss - just not this slow. HAHA! :D
    8/23/2018 - 205 - Holy whoosh, Batman! And I saw 204 earlier in the week. Finally some progress! YAY!
    8/30/2018 - 204.5 - I'll take it! Not my best week, program wise. I am happy to see a small loss. Onward and downward!

    9/6/2018 - 206.5 - Been skipping some workouts and walking and also eating more. No surprise that weight is up a bit after the holiday carbfest. I did see 203.5 on the scale last Sunday, so that was encouraging. Need to be more consistent on the workouts.
    9/20/2018 - 208.5 - Missed last week's weigh in. Up a bit today - eating too much some days, still. Need more discipline! Weights going up - so that's a positive.
    9/27/2018 - 205 - welcome to the roller coaster. Maintaining in the 204-210 range for several months now. I'm going to restrict calories for a few weeks to see if I can get a slow, steady loss going.

    10/4/2018 - 204 - YAY! Lowered my calorie target to 2000 per day. A bit of a struggle some days. Will try this for six weeks and see if I can get to Onederland.
    10/11/18 - 205 - and I saw 202 earlier in the week. I think I'm on the right track. The trend is slowly downward. It's hard to be patient, though.
    10/21/18 - 208.5 - that's what being away from home at meetings and restaurants and no logging will do. Was away and ubale to weigh in last Thursday. We shall see if the gain is temporary.

    11/1/18 - 210 - Had a great time on the river. Did not log most of the food and drink. Back at it now that Halloween is over.

    Right on! What river? How many days? Weather? Type of boat? I have a "recipe" in my account called "Rafter Rations." It's about 3500 calories mixed of fat, carbs, and protein. I just log that for days on the river; I figure it's a reasonable enough estimate.

    The Salmon River in central Idaho. 5 days. Unusually heavy rain. We fish from an aluminum drift boat. Caught two steelhead - both were wild and so were released.

    Lower Salmon (Hammer to Heller)? I haven't done the lower in years. Such lovely beaches. We had a chance to float the Middle Fork in June 2016 at about 2.7 feet. It had been almost ten years since I'd been there. I haven't run the Main since probably 2014 or so, and it's been well over a decade since I've been to the lower. We were going to go last year but picked up a Rogue permit instead. So much closer, but those beaches!

    Gender: Female
    Age: 30
    Height: 5' 7”
    Starting weight: 182lbs - Sept 2018
    Current weight: 169lbs - 25th Oct
    Goal weight: 160lbs

    18/10/18 - 171lbs - I started going to the gym 3 times a week from the 1st of October, and I’m calorie counting trying to stay below 1500 most days, and below 1000 calories two days a week (sort of like the 5:2 diet).

    25/10/18 - 169lbs - getting into a good routine with the gym now, so making more of the time there productive. Doing a fair bit of weight training as well as cardio now which has meant I’m not loosing weight as fast, but seeing a change in my body strength and definition. I struggle keeping calories on target on the weekends, but I’m going to make an extra effort now to stick to the plan and not put on weight before gym on Monday!

    Well done, sounds like you are well on track for hitting 31 Dec at 2lbs a week.

    Thank you for the support!
    I have actually just been on holiday this week and put on one pound-but not feeling too down about it. Fasting today. Looking forward to getting back in the gym on Monday too.

    We can do this! Keep going everyone x

    Gorgeous! I am blessed to live in Idaho. We fish the section between Vinegar Creek and Riggins most of the time. We camp on a beach in that section. Will post a couple of photos later.

    Gorgeous! I am blessed to live in Idaho. We fish the section between Vinegar Creek and Riggins most of the time. We camp on a beach in that section. Will post a couple of photos later.

    I have never been on the section from Vinegar through Riggins to Hammer Creek. One year we did the Middle and the Main back-to-back. That was great. We had two people who could only do the first trip, so we shuttled their vehicle with a small resupply and clean groover, and we left some trash for them to haul out. Very nice. If the water level had been lower, we would have gone all the way. It was too high to run Slide.

    One year on the Main, we had a guy who was very watch-oriented. He wanted to know if we were going to choose to run the trip on Mountain or Pacific time. I said it depended which side of the river we were camping on. He said no. Being my permit, I decided we'd run on "Moucific Time." That's halfway between the two. He first said he couldn't set his watch like that, but then realized he could. It was a good decision as we were closer to actual solar time sine we were on the edge of the boundary between the zones. That was fun. I think that was the trip we had a jetboat driver meet us at the take-out before the trip and jet shuttle us up to the put-in. We got to scout the river for a few hours and then spend a week floating back down. That was a hoot.

    Don't forget to reset YOUR clock tonight if you're of that persuasion. I don't recommend Moucific Standard Time or Moucific Daylight Time unless you're on the Salmon River, though.

    Been away at a work conference in the US for a week, so overall not too unhappy that I have been flat for the last couple of weeks. Jet lag, carb cravings and hotel food are never great for losing weight, but at least I managed to exercise every day.

    Today's motto then... "Once more into the breach dear friends!"
