@ar10at50 I have done the same thing. Like I just can't face putting in a high number, like I'm letting the 10 Day Group down. No one has made me feel that way it's just my little crazy exposing itself. I get nothing but support here and from the friends I've made from this challenge.
@shunngie and @ar10at50 - You both are so right
But I try to find the courage to post anyways because when I post those gains it makes me more mindful of getting back on track before the end of the challenge. My goal for the rest of the year is not to miss another 10 week challenge unless it is some type of family emergency or something since I have a Dad who is ill and in a nursing home. This has truly become my favorite challenge. I have always weighed daily because it helps me maintain my weight. But posting it helps me even more. And having the support of others who weigh daily and know the struggles and ups and downs of it is even more helpful. It is so educational to weigh daily as long as we don't beat ourselves up. It helps us learn our bodies since we are all unique. Keep up the good work Ladies!!! We can do this together. :flowerforyou: 11 -

08/04 392.4
08/05 393.4 - Well the last 10-day challenge, I thought I had lost over 12 pounds and boy was I dead wrong!! I guess I wanted to be fooled. 😂 I knew I was not doing that great. But my scale said I was losing weight. So silly me even though I was eating fast food, too many points, etc. I thought those 7000 steps was making a difference. Deep down I knew it was unbelievable and too good to be true. But when you want to believe the unbelievable you go with it! So Saturday when I went to weigh in 🙄 the fantasy was over! Instead of the 12 lbs I thought I lost, it was really a 3.4 gain. So I told the lady that can't be right. So she said get on the scale again and of course the weight was the same. So I knew I had let myself be fooled. Because I knew their scale was not wrong and mines was. so, the lady felt bad for me and she said you probably need to change the battery in your scale. So I felt deflated, mad at myself, so many emotions.
But I did not have time to wallow because the cleaning man was coming over to help with phase 2 of my de-clutter program! Success. This lifted my spirits because I know this project is a win win and will help me with my weight goals. He put all the cloths from my Mom in piles. He organized everything. I could see my floor in my living room. We threw away stuff. I threw away some more stuff on Sunday. I have 2 more bags to throw in the garbage chute. I plan to do a bag every other day. I had to clean out my closet some in order to hang up my clothes I am keeping. It was uplifting and I have the cleaning bug now and I am loving it. It was over whelming at 1st but now with 2 visits under my belt from cleaning services I can do some things myself. Eventually I am going to do some remodeling etc. This is going to my gift to me a makeover for my condo, so I have a peace, organized place to want to come home to in the evenings. I am cutting the TV off and limiting computer time too.
So this week I'm going to really get back on track eating too. And I did change the batteries and went back to my trusty app to see where the wonky weight lost numbers started and deleted them. I re-adjusted the last 10-day challenge to 2 lbs lost. I started this challenge with my weight after I had changed the batteries which showed the 3.2 gain. It is never exact with WW but always close. I am good now. I have dusted off my fanny and ready to keep on going forward. Setbacks are normal. Once again shows me why I need a human check in because I can get into self-denial and my own worst enemy.

My journey … ("I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!")In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbsMy highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. :flowerforyou: SW 373.4 - 1/3/19 GW 299 - 12/31/19 :flowerforyou:

Day/Weight/Comment
08/01: 228.8 (-0.4)/19.5 (-0.1). First day back, tracked all my food, and was under calories by a bit. So far, so good. I may try to hit the gym today, but if not today, tomorrow for sure.
08/02: 229.0 (+0.2)/19.5 (0.0). It took me one day to remember one of the main reasons why getting healthy and fit can be a challenge. Wife and I got take-out last night, and she picked up the food. I ordered EXACTLY what I wanted, and she decided to order 510 calories worth of food that I didn't ask for. It's hard for me to say no when it's in front of me. I would have been just about at my calorie goal otherwise.
08/03: 228.4 (-0.6)/19.4 (-0.1). Didn't eat particularly well yesterday, especially in the evening, but did better with portion control than I have recently (little steps). I had a couple of glasses of delicious red wine with dinner, and a healthy little snack in the evening. But my wife is gone for the next three days, so I should be able to get a nice jump-start/boost into my weight loss. I'm also headed to the gym as soon as I'm finished posting; I'll let you all know how it goes in my post tomorrow!
08/04: 230.4 (+2.0)/19.6 (+0.2). Hmm. I went to the gym yesterday, and I felt better than I have in a long time. Ate within my calories... didn't even eat back my exercise calories... and I'm up 2.0 lbs. If I take a snapshot of the last 24 hours it makes no sense. But if I think about my eating the two days prior, I get it. Consequences seem to occur a day or two later than I expect them to. I had did well yesterday, and I'll focus on having a good day today as well.
08/05: 229.8 (-0.6)/19.5 (-0.1). I ate better most of the day, but went to a birthday party in the evening. I generally did a good job with portion control, but missed my calorie goal by about 150.
08/06: 230.2 (+0.4)/19.6 (+0.1). This weigh-in was maddening (at first). I didn't get it. I was good yesterday, ALL DAY LONG. How the hell do I gain weight when I'm GOOD!?!? I think I know the answer. Because. I've had an up-and-down first challenge, and, for the most part, I've hit my calorie goal at about a 50% clip, including two days where I had 2+ drinks. I also know that, in the past, there's no linear relationship between what I do (or eat) in a day and the following day's weigh-in. I forget sometimes how important it is to look for trends, no matter how much I know this. I'm going to try to finish strong; my adjusted goal for the challenge is to lose a total of 0.2 lbs, which would mean losing 1.2 lbs over the next four weigh-ins.

LW: 153 (Oct 2016)
Aim for 2019 ~ reach 155 💐
Aim for each round ~ Weigh less at the end than I did at the beginning
UGW: 153
I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!
01/08: 167.8: Goals: 🌻 Have been steadily discarding holiday baggage since Saturday. Slowly but surely, it's shifting.
02/08: 167.8: Goals: 🌻 Holding steady is good.
03/08: 167.5: Goals: 🌻 Oops! Yesterday was a typo. I have fixed it.
04/08: 167.4: Goals: 🌻 Still in the right direction.
05/08: 167.2: Goals: 🌻 Little by little! 😂
06/08: 167.4: Goal: 🌻 Normal fluctuation. Balancing muscle increase and weight loss is difficult. Lol!
Round 83: (Last round I posted for)Fri 12/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ Still holding steady.Round 82:
Sat 13/07: 163.5: Goals: ✅ We finally got our we boat back in the water, and the new engine is so quiet, and no nasty fumes either. Result! Now all we need is a few warm sunny days to enjoy it.
Sun 14/07: 164.2: Goals: Meh!!!
Mon 15/07: 166.2: Goals: There are no excuses.I 😈 choose instant gratification over sensible eating at a family buffet yesterday. I haven't done that for some time. It did not go unpunished. My new healthy body rebelled big time. I spent an wretched evening feeling bloated and uncomfortable, with an extra big a big kick up the a** when I stepped on the scale this morning. Now, I know I haven't put on 2lbs of weight overnight, (though I may well have with the food I ate), and a lot of it is probably be water weight. But enough is enough, and too much is just plain daft. We all do daft things from time to time. The trick is to put it behind you and move on. I am choosing to have a few reset days of light eating to see if I can redress my blowout yesterday. Though if the truth be told, I have been sliding most of the week. I know this is only a blip. Nothing gets in my way when I'm on a mission.Goals: ✅ Later: Noticed I had the wrong date for my post this morning, so I’ve fixed it. Hopefully back on track.
Tue 16/07: 164.0: Goals: ✅😁 Sticking close to my goals has paid off. It must have been water weight!
Wed 17/07: 164.2: Goals: ✅ Normal fluctuation. Still keeping strong.
Thu 18/07: 163.9: Goals: ✅normal fluctuations.
Fri 19/07: 164.1: Goals: ✅Normal fluctuations!
Sat 20/07: 163.8: Goals ✅
With muscle %age improving, I'm happy that the scale is not increasing. I have no scale this week as I am on holiday, so I will give Round 84 a miss. Will be back with you for Round 85.Tue 02/07: 162.4: Goals: ✅Just trying to hold it steady.Daily Goals
Wed 03/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅
Thu 04/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅Had a busy day being foster mum to my daughter's 2 fur babies. Jack is very used to being with us, and is no trouble. Sydney is fairly new, and very nervous, and we haven't really got to know him until this week. DH is the doggie person in our house, but Sydney won't go near him, so I'm it! Worse than having a toddler in the house.
Fri 05/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Lots of walking and gardening today.
Sat 06/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Lots of garden work done today. Perfect weather with a bit of a breeze to take the edge off the heat.
Sun 07/07: 162.6: Goals: ✅ Normal fluctuation.
Mon 08/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Another plateau. 😏
Tue 09/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ Drat! The weekend caught up with me!
Wed 10/07: 163.4: Goals: ✅ *sigh* Keeping on keeping on!
Thu 11/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ I was quite disappointed with this result until I noticed my muscle %age has increased since last week. I have been working hard on lower body strength for a couple of weeks. Also yesterday, DH asked me if I had lost weight again. It just goes to show that Progress isn't always about the scale dropping. Looking forward to the next round, and making more progress! 😂Food

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

08/01 - 209.4 up a little, not sure why, I ate so lightly yesterday because my cold has killed my appetite. Oh well, feeling better today and able to actually do some work again 😊 ate healthy but didnt workout.. still a little sick. But otherwise, great day! Still psyched about my progress
08/02 - 208.6 feeling much better, went to work and the gym for the first time all week! Stuck to my calorie goals well and feeling very proud of myself
08/03 - 207.6 so tired this morning... Woke up hours earlier than I needed to. Went on a hike w friends which was fun but way too hot and sunny. Spent a lot of the day hydrating. Did a good job sticking to diet
08/04 - 207.2 omg! The lowest weight I've been in a year. So happy 🤩 didn't exercise, taking a rest day to be ready for personal training tomorrow. Stuck to calorie goals well even though fh got me some keto ice cream. It was delicious
08/05 - 208.6 uh oh... Why is the scale up so much? I stayed under calories. Maybe from the ice cream? Hoping it goes down tomorrow. Had a great personal training session and stayed welllll below calories so hopefully I turn it back around tomorrow.
08/06 - 209 even higher and I feel so bloated. I'm not sure why the scale is up even more today when I ate so little yesterday and exercised a lot. Hopefully this is just an anomalous flux and I'll get back to losing soon. I just get scared bc with PCOS issues, every time I start a new diet it works for a week or two and then stops even when I stick to it. I really hope that's not what is happening right now. Sticking to my calories really well today and went to the gym which is always a win. Fingers crossed this weight loss trajectory turns around soon

So I knew I had let myself be fooled. Because I knew their scale was not wrong and mines was. so, the lady felt bad for me and she said you probably need to change the battery in your scale.

I had to clean out my closet some in order to hang up my clothes I am keeping. It was uplifting and I have the cleaning bug now and I am loving it. It was over whelming at 1st but now with 2 visits under my belt from cleaning services I can do some things myself. Eventually I am going to do some remodeling etc. This is going to my gift to me a makeover for my condo, so I have a peace, organized place to want to come home to in the evenings. I am cutting the TV off and limiting computer time too.
So this week I'm going to really get back on track eating too. And I did change the batteries and went back to my trusty app to see where the wonky weight lost numbers started and deleted them. I re-adjusted the last 10-day challenge to 2 lbs lost. I started this challenge with my weight after I had changed the batteries which showed the 3.2 gain. It is never exact with WW but always close. I am good now. I have dusted off my fanny and ready to keep on going forward. Setbacks are normal. Once again shows me why I need a human check in because I can get into self-denial and my own worst enemy.
08/06 392 Yesterday was ok. I got in my 7000 steps and my eating was ok. Not perfect but satisfactory. Today not going good so far but I am logging it. I was too pooped to do any cleaning last night so I will have to hit it tonight. Have a great evening Everyone! :flowerforyou: I think I may have gained too much to get a loss in by Saturday. I may just have to shoot for a maintain. But maybe I can get in at least a pound. I have 4 days! lol and weigh in at WW is Friday. I can't sweat it. I don't like to put too much pressure on myself.

Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. :flowerforyou: SW 373.4 - 1/3/19 GW 299 - 12/31/19 :flowerforyou:Round 64 - SW 373.4 EW 369 (-4.4)

Day/Weight/Comment
08/01 - 238.2 - minus a pound from yesterday and feeling good about this round! Pretty decent on eating (went to happy hour with some colleagues last night and had a couple of glasses of wine) and continuing today, really want to stay under my calorie goal.
08/02 - 238.6 - I don’t even know 🤷🏾♀️ will do an at home workout today; planned my meals for the day... just going to keep trying to make each day as good as or better than the one before... can’t give up.
08/03 - 235.7 - yay movement!! Heading to the gym then out and about. Making it my mission to stick to the plan this weekend!
08/04 - 235.3 - stayed down! Don’t expect any negative movement tomorrow due to lazy weekend with some cheats thrown in.
08/05 - 236.3 - expected a bounce off of the weekend; not going to lose my mind over it (trying not to!!!!!!!); Did not make it to the gym yesterday but DO plan on doing an at-home workout and will hit the gym in the morning before work! If I can end this 10-days under 235 I will be soooo happy!
08/06 - 236.6 - heading to a concert tonight; it’s at a restaurant so will make a healthy choice for my meal. I am down 2.6lbs this round, keeping that front of mind!

All the first week lunches and treats should die down now and start getting to a normal work routine, at least by mid-week. So, hoping for some drops next week.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/01 187.2 – Off to a good start with a nice little drop. Busy morning, so I only had time for coffee before class. On the way home, I stopped for gas and then at the farm stand to pick up a few pots of zinnias to refresh the garden beds. I was ravenous by the time I got to my mom’s for lunch. Fortunately, I had some extra calories to spend. Goals met today!
08/02 187.2 – Got a lot accomplished in the house and garden before I got on the road. So it was another busy morning, but this time I made sure to have a decent breakfast so I’d be less tempted by all the high-calorie rest stop offerings. BBQ for dinner, but I stayed under my calorie limit and met all my goals again today.
08/03 No scale – Having a wonderful time visiting family for our traditional summer crab feast. A bit over on calories and a lot over on salt, but I know I can get back on track and deal with a bounce in the week ahead.
08/04 No scale – Wrapped up a lovely weekend with a long ride home. Too much salt and not enough water, but I managed to just stay under my calorie limit. Back to work (and the daily weigh-ins) tomorrow morning!
08/05 187.8 – Okay, there’s that post-weekend bump. I’ve got my work cut out for me this week. Worked for an hour or so in the garden after class but didn’t get much done in the house. I’ve got papers to grade and a quiz to make up tonight, so it’s going to be a long one.
08/06 187.2 – Better. Met my goals today, but I still have a ton of stuff to do before the end of the week. Thunderstorms predicted for tomorrow, so I’ll focus on finishing up some of the indoor stuff and hope the garden gets a good soaking.

Hi all, this is my third round and excited to see where this next round takes me. I first started my MFP journey in 2015. I dropped down to 138 pounds and went into maintenance. I was fine for awhile until my world went crazy and exercise was no longer a priority. After putting on over 20 pounds, I got back to working out and calorie counting diligently. I have IBS and no gallbladder, so I stick to a low fat diet. I am also hypothyroid which makes losing weight at times challenging. I keep on trucking because the pot of gold at the end of 🌈 is health and an increased life expectancy.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/01 127.2lbs. Weight is up from yesterday, but I refuse to stress over it unless the scale goes up ten pounds or something crazy. I got my strength training in and will take a walk to end my day. Lesson I’m learning: don’t sweat the small gains.
08/02 127lbs. Today was my rest day. Did a short step aerobic workout and made sure my protein intake was good. I’m starting to like what lifting weights is shaping my body into; really keeps me motivated.
08/03 127lbs. Today was 🥵 hot!! I got my workout 🏋️♀️ in early and walked to my doctors and the grocery store. I ate smaller frequent meals so I could have enough calories for the day (eating less is so easy in the summer). My calories have been too low on hotter days. I than turned on my fan and took a nap. Goal for this next week: meal prep and pack snacks for jury duty to get in my calories and protein.
08/04 127lbs. I almost didn’t want to train today. Unless I am walking, I train early. Today, my sister surprised me and we went out shopping during my usual workout time. By the time we got back, the thought of working out seemed exhausting. I forced myself to do it anyways and feel energetic from my lifting session. I was even able to keep up with my protein intake with careful food selection with lunch and snacks I now keep in my purse. Hopefully, the rest of the week goes this well.
08/05 126.8lbs. Woke up early and got in a good weight lifting workout. Food was on the low side of ok. My calorie intake is kinda low but part fear of an IBS attack and part habit and part 🥵 makes it hard to eat more. Greek yogurt and protein snacks have been helpful. Yesterday I bought a foam roller for muscle soreness and recovery and it is one of the best fitness investments I ever made. If anyone struggles with muscle soreness and wants to speed up recovery, foam rollers are a game changer.
08/06 128.2lbs. I weighed late today, so I’m not sure 🤔 how accurate that weight is. Today was my first day of jury duty and it was a looong day of sitting around. I fell asleep 💤 a few times. I did ok with food and walked during breaks. I came home and did some recovery yoga 🧘♂️ and foam rolling because: Stiff muscles+sitting for hours sucks.

Ready for my round 22
OSW 88KG
RSW 65.0 kg (-23. 0 kg) or {- 50.7 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
08/01 65.0kg...well it did say 64.95 but I don't believe the scale is that accurate so I rounded up. At least it moved slightly. My best friend is visiting for a few days... This is my tall, skinny, naturally OMAD, friend who gets all their calories from alcohol! (we currently weigh the same but with a 9 inch height difference 😁) They were supposed to visit for my birthday next week but plans changed so this means I'm going to have my 1st alcoholic drinks since I started losing weight on the 6th January to celebrate early birthday. Thankfully I've always been a hopeless drinker so a couple of gins will do and I'll be back to my teetotal ways!
08/02 64.95 kg again which is really 65!
08/03 64.95kg still. I went out to celebrate my very early birthday (it's next week) and had more alcohol and sugar (no sugar free drinks available where I live) in 3 hours than I have had for the whole of 2019! Definitely so far over 20g of carbs I couldn't even count. Back on it today but with an early coffee as IF is too complicated with a visitor. Remind me of this when I'm complaining about a weight gain in 2 days!! Beach day again today.
08/04 65.5kg and not a big surprise. I was also over on calories yesterday but kept it all Keto. Back to tracking and being strict today. My friend leaves early tomorrow so no more temptations!
08/05 65.0kg back here again! IF is happening today. Having a vacation within a vacation in a few days... But won't have many options for food.
08/06 65kg again. Keeping to IF schedule while I'm here. Will see what happens for my days away.
08/07 65kg. Going away for 2 nights so I'll be back on Saturday.

Day / Weight/Comment
08/01: 161 (0.0) No change there... Not feeling too good lately, the rheumatologist has added an extra drug for the next 6 months and I know from past experience that it'll be hard going with weight loss this medication makes me nauseous and I get the munchies at the same time with it. I've changed to goals to just sticking to my recommended calorie intake for this round.
08/02: 161 (0.0) Another Status Quo, I think I'm at a plateau which is going to be hard to break through as I'm not doing as much exercise for the moment! Tomorrow, if all goes well, I'll try some static aerobic and that'll be my goal for tomorrow with the 1200 cal intake
08/03: 161 (0.0) Still status quo, a bit frustrating. I did go over by 100 yesterday when I nibbled on carrots at 10 pm but I was starving lol Today's another day, I'm still sick so taking it easy. I'm not expecting any miracles for tomorrow
I will try and get my water in though!
08/04: 161 (0.0) same weight for the 4th day, that number is digging it's heals in! Yesterday all I did was sleep anyway so I couldn't have used up much energy. Did stay in my 1200 cal. About the same today as still sick and I need to get into shape for work tomorrow.
08/05: 161 (0.0) 5th day ! Humpfff, ok I did have a rice dish for dinner last night! I'll try and have my main meal at lunch time today and a smaller meal this evening
08/06: 160.4 (-0.6) At last, although I think my scales have issues, it's brand new but anyway... I'm happy with this result, I hope now that I might be able to get to my CGW this time. I went for a short run/walk yesterday and it did me good, although it was - I have to admit - really painful I'm more determined than before to loose weight as I think it'll help with my RA and I might be able to stop taking this second medication
08/07: 160.4 (0.0) Yesterday was a quiet day, it's becoming quite routine to stick to the 1200 cal allocated, although I hope I don't get bored with it, I don't often vary my meals. Today I'm planning on a walk/run this evening if I have time. I've started the Couch 2 5k program. I used to run a lot when I was younger, I don't remember it being this painful

08/05 – 190.0 - starting again. I’ve gained 5 pounds, but kept 10 off. I’ll be working on C25K three days a week. Signing up for a 5K on Oct. 26.
08/06 – 188.9 – good start. Recorded all food, no alcohol, drank all my water, and did first day of C25K.
08/07 – 187.6 – so excited. I’m sure this won’t continue as fast, but I need to keep recording. No exercise yesterday, but I did stand more at my desk.

I am in again and have done 13 rounds with the last 2 being weight gain and taking 3 rounds off. It is starting to get depressing but I am the reason for the gain. My goals for this round is to continue to get back on track and try logging food every day and work on getting back down to my lowest weight of 192 on 6/6/19 and continue with losing because I have a long ways to go.Round 68 SW: 225.8 – EW: 219.8 (↓6lbs)

Goal for Round 85: 155.9
I have put back on a little over 10 lbs of the 40+ I lost the last year and a half, so I’m back to reset and recommit. I’m still a long way from the 193 that was my recent high, but I do NOT want to go back.

08/04—158.4 Went on a hike in the mountains for 2.5 hours. Logged all my food and had no sweets.
08/05—157.4
08/06–-156.4 Worked out at the gym in the first time since warm weather. I’d just gotten too sedentary other than walking the dog, so I bit the bullet and went. Did some HIIT elliptical and a circuit training session. It felt good!
08/07—157.2 It’s these natural fluctuations that are hard to deal with when you weigh daily. Yesterday was a good day, but it doesn’t show here today. But, I know it’s just part of the process. Just gotta keep that trend line going down and be mentally tough.

08/07 - DNW - Stayed at BF's last night since I had to drive into town to pick up the truck's title (to get it registered) so no scale. We are getting bombarded by a storm (severe thunderstorm warning) and it just hit us as I pulled into work. Made a beautiful light show driving in, though. Food yesterday wasn't great. They extended our meeting so they provided lunch in the form of fried chicken. At least had some green beans with it.Then dinner was last minute spaghetti to use the ground beef he had before it went bad. I think I was within calories but still not ideal. Today we are volunteering as a department, going to lunch, and then doing an escape room. Hopefully plenty of movement to offset lunch (since I have no idea where we're going or what they will have available to preplan). Still sticking to IF. I broke my fast early yesterday (at about 15 hours) but that's because I hadn't EATEN in 17 by that point, but it took much longer to finish my drink. I started getting dizzy and figured 15 is still good. Today I can eat at 1030 so I'm going to see about stopping on my way to the event to grab a small snack to break my fast with and hold me over until lunch so I don't get dizzy again.

Previous day's comments for R85
08/01 - I forgot. Was distracted by the amazing smell of the pot roast I had in the crockpot all night. Feeling pretty bleh and unattractive today. Lots of sodium yesterday, I think. And snacking. I didn't track because I was so busy and then forgot what all I had eaten. Today I'm traveling to our general office and if I understood correctly, a coworker got us lunch situated so I didn't bring anything (free food while in a financial bind? Uh, yeah). I have dinner ready in the form of the delicious-smelling pot roast. And forcing myself to fast until lunch since I had a beer so late last night. Went grocery shopping on frugal mode and got some frozen veggies and other little things. About 7 meals worth of food for only $60! Win. Adding those veggies to everything. Also meal prepped 10 freezer breakfast burritos. Thinking of using them as a morning snack to break my fast (when I'm a good girl and don't eat/drink so late at night). Saves me from snacking until lunch.
08/02 - On my way back down. I really need to pay more attention to food. I have a freezer burrito I made to break my fast in about 3 hours and then my pot roast for lunch. Hopefully I can keep up mindful eating through the weekend. My neighbors and I went for a walk last night. Decided we will continue this as we all enjoy it and used to do it regular, we've just gotten in our own way. Plus accountability is nice. First Mama Neighbor and I for a quick loop in the rain (sprinkling) and then later MN, Downstairs Neighbor, and MN's roommate&bf went for another loop (still sprinkling). Very refreshing. BF's all weekend so no weigh-in Monday. Raining/storming today so my usual walk breaks may not happen. I'll walk around the building, probably.

08/05 - So much food yesterday. Went out to breakfast then friends made BF and I tamales for dinner (my favorite -- will make myself sick eating them). Ended up walking the majority of both BF's softball games and got some good steps in though not up to my 10,000/day I used to hit almost daily. Don't have anything packed for lunch today so I'm going to have to survive off vending machine, unfortunately. At least I have a decent dinner planned. Hopefully I don't pass out before cooking it. So tired since the softball games were so late (didn't get home until 10, asleep closer to midnight and a 430 wakeup)
08/06 - I did weigh, but I forgot what the number was entirely. Busy busy day and it only stays busy until I finally can go to bed. We have engineering team bonding tomorrow with volunteering in the morning followed by a lock room. Should be fun!
