9/20: 202.3 I ate late, consumed a lot of sodium and tom. I definitely came in under my calorie goal and took 8000 steps (which is great for me lol) ;D
9/21: 199.5 OMG! OMG! OMG! I was wondering how the eff this happened and it came to me. Yesterday I ate McDonald's for lunch, skipped dinner and had a snack of (lots of) chocolate chips and milk lol. I've been eating high sodium forever and I finally had a low sodium day yesterday so I think I finally ditched the water! PLEASE BE REAL! ;D
9/22: 200 ughhhh! Lol it was too good to be true! Oh well! I killed it at the gym today so it's going away again real soon. Going out for dinner today sooo might go up again tomorrow.
9/23: 199.7 Okaaay I guess it was real after all. YESSS! My workout prevented me from overeating at dinner last night so I'm feeling really good. I actually had an amazing food weekend!
9/24: 198.9 Ow owww! I'm just killin' it this round. I guess this is what happens when I add exercise and stick to my deficit on the weekend as well ;D
9/25: 198.9 I ate pizza for dinner last night and only got like 3000 steps in. I ate at a deficit buuuut there was quite a bit of sodium.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/20 176.5 +.5 TGIF started today off great! Gym/camp with my accountability partner.
9/21 177.5 +1 Gym challenge is finally over, had a cheat day yesterday. Busy day at work and drank very little water. Not looking forward to tomorrow’s weigh in as today was full of bad choices.
9/22 178.5 +1 Scale is going the wrong direction but it’s okay. Today I will have a much needed rest day and back on track tomorrow.
9/23 181 +2.5 I gain weight very fast when I eat processed food. It’s been a rough couple of days at work and eating what’s easily accessible. They say when you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Can’t wait to get back on my regular schedule.
9/24 180 (-1) Another busy workday ahead and boss is taking us out to lunch

Day/Weight/Comment

9/20: 225.6 (-1.0)/19.1 (-0.1). This is a great start, particularly given that I was likely right at about maintenance in calories last night. Food quality was good, though. IT'S THE WEEKEND... and instead of going into it hopeful (and a little blind), I'm going to think through a plan. Right now. Gym tonight after work, basketball tomorrow... I don't think I can go to the gym on Sunday, because I'll be trying to fix my car with my dad and doing a couple of things to continue to make my house liveable. Dinner tonight should be light/easy; maybe a lettuce wrap from Cook's Tortas. I'm not sure about tomorrow night (what's happening), but it will probably involve more housework stuff (and, annoyingly, cleaning everything because my parents are coming over on Sunday). Sunday my parents will be here, and my wife wants to go wine-tasting with them. I can focus on reds while I'm there, and I'll try to budget some calories for that. Dinner is almost always the problem. I need to track all day, have my "budget" before I eat, and figure out how the heck to stay within that budget. Work is feeling better; rather than feeling so overwhelmed, I have a bit of a plan, and I'm getting support from my supervisor/management team.

9/21: 223.6 (-2.0)/18.9 (-0.2). So far, so good. Stuck to my plan yesterday. Went with a lettuce wrap instead of bread. Lifted weights and did some HIIT on the elliptical. Basketball is happening this morning, then doing some painting/housework in the afternoon. I'm not sure what's happening for dinner, but I'm feeling focused.

9/22: 223.4 (-0.2)/18.9 (0.0). Basketball yesterday was better than it was a couple of weeks before. My shot was a little off, but I was able to move around better than I could two weeks ago. I finished painting another one of the bedrooms in my house as well. Dinner was slightly out of control, but I'm pretty sure I stayed well within calories (ate back maybe half of my exercise calories). Still feeling focused. My wife and I are eating at home tonight, so I'm expecting my weigh-in tomorrow to be... well... super boring

9/23: 225.0 (+1.6)/19.0 (+0.1). I got a little bit squirrelly last night with dinner (and after); it was more about quality (carb-heavy) than quantity. I'm also recognizing the need for a food scale (my old one broke a long time ago), especially when it's difficult to determine the number of servings in whatever I might be making (and that is fixed in a couple of mouse-clicks). I lifted weights in the morning and had a generally very busy day. I'm not feeling discouraged at all. From Friday morning to Monday morning I actually dropped 0.6 lbs, even with the big gain this morning. I think I have my routine at the gym as well - weights only on Friday and Sunday, weights and HIIT on Wednesdays, and basketball on Saturdays. If I'm feeling particularly good on a Sunday I'll do cardio, but basketball is pretty intense, and I'm often very sore after.

9/24: 225.8 (+0.8)/19.1 (+0.1). I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but I'm not going to freak out about it. I ate within calories last night, although dinner was sketchy (I'm definitely eating out too much). My food scale should be here tomorrow, so that should help. Ready for some TMI? The BM fairy hasn't visited in a while. I think this weigh-in is attributable to one thing: I'm probably full of $#!+. I'll just keep plugging away and see what happens.

9/25: 224.2 (-1.6)/18.9 (-0.2). Better. I ate within calories last night. I have a little bit of a headache this morning. I'm going to the gym tonight with my wife; I'll be lifting weights and doing HIIT. I'm feeling a Chipotle craving for lunch today (which happens a lot on gym days, it seems). Their carne asada (it's NOT their steak; it's different) is DELICIOUS, and it makes it easy for me to stay on track. My food scale showed up yesterday, though I did not need to use it last night.

09/20 200.0 (+4.4)/ 29.7% (+0.6%) well I know I didn’t make the best food choices the past few days but this is eye opening and it’s time to step it up. Can’t have more days like this. My goal for R90 has been updated to reflect this gain

09/21 -

09/22 -

09/23 198.8 (-1.2)/ 29.1% (-.6%) didn’t weigh in this weekend, I was gone on vacation. But not disappointed by the numbers today. Back on track and ready to go. Not going to let my accountability partners down.

09/24 196.0 (-2.8)/ 28.8% (-.3%) sometimes all you need is a rough few days to kick you back into gear.

09/25 196.5 (+.5)/ 29.0% (+.2%) busy busy day. Got started early so my normal time to weigh in won’t happen so weighed in a little early and have had breakfast, water, and worked out. Not upset. Gonna keep pushing.

As you can see the last 5 rounds have been horrible for me. I have had family issues, birthdays, TOM, and all 5 of my kids in 5 different schools getting back into routines the last couple of rounds. This will be the first round we haven't had to go out of town, deal with some crazy situation, or worry about what is going to happen tomorrow. We have finally calmed down a bit and I am ready to start on the last 6-7 pounds. I would like to drop my 10 day average by 2 pounds and see 142, maybe even 141 a couple of times on the scale. Good luck everyone!

Round 85: 143.7 - 139.6 down 4.1 Avg 142.35
Round 86: 139.6 - 148.2 up 8.6 Avg 144.08
Round 87: 148.2 - 143.6 down 4.6 Avg 143.73
Round 88: 143.6 - 147.0 up 3.4 Avg 145.84
Round 89: 147.0 - 143.7 down 3.3 Avg 144.99


09/20 - 142.8 nice drop to start the new round. I am officially back to where I was in round 85 before my 4 round diet break. So I’m happy with my progress and I know that I can do maintenance once I get down to where I need to be.

09/21 - 143.7 good day, jumped up because of the sodium and carbs I am sure. We took out youngest to her favorite restaurant for a surprise birthday dinner. Chinese is always filled with a couple of extra carbs than what I would normally eat. I tried to stay away from the fried rice and had grilled shrimp instead of the other meats, but I did have 2 beers.

09/22 -143.7 The birthday party was a success, but drank a little to much in celebration. Food was on point and didn't over do it at all. Will see a jump up tomorrow because of the liquor I am sure.

09/23 -145.4 way lower than the last couple of Monday's and knew I would have a jump up due to my alcohol intake in Saturday. It always hits me 2 days later. Water and clean eating today. Looking forward to having some good drops this round and getting back to where I was.

09/24 -144.5 and we continue the roller coaster down. Hopefully I will be back to my starting weight by tomorrow and then see some progress. Was on track all day and should be under calories today. So far I have been drinking my water and doing what I need to do.

09/25 - 140.9 I don't believe this is a true weight. I am sure it will bounce up tomorrow. I only ate about 600 calories yesterday. We had some unexpected issues come up last night and I never got around to eating anything for dinner. So I pretty much did a 24 hour fast unintentionally. I also may have been a little dehydrated this morning to because I woke up extremely thirsty. I would love it if it stayed here, but I doubt it will. I will eventually get back to this weight though.

Round 90 – Sept.20 to Sept.30
Female, 5’, 66 years. Goals – finish calorie log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW – 162.6, GW – 160.8, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Fell off the recording wagon by trying to do it later in the day, also one day of travel - so tracked most calories but did not record. Ended with 162.6 – up .4 from the last round but did see some 161 during the round so I’m hopeful of better things for this one.
Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 – 162.4
09/21 – 162 – Warmup exercises in morning and emptying compost bin in the afternoon. Logged all calories - even the not so good overdoing chocolate almond spread. Nice surprise there as I was still within cals. because my breakfast and lunch were low. No LNS. Trying to get more protein earlier in the day so I’m not so hungry in the evening. Finally have a sunny day here so planning lots of outside work.
09/22 – 162.4
09/23 – 161.8
09/24 – 162 – Some LNS last night but not high fat so hoping it doesn’t show up tomorrow. Nice day today so off to do work outside.
09/25 – 162.2 – Lots of work outside yesterday, only fruit (prune plums) for LNS. Today is bringing in houseplants that have been outside for the summer and doing more composting and clearing off the garden. Risk of frost and some rainy days forecast so trying to do the max today.

9/20--208.5 Lazy day yesterday. Ate some snacks when I really wasn't hungry. Gym tonight.
9/21--207.4 Weighed twice to make sure, I weighed in about 2 hours later than normal. Did not go to the gym yesterday because I was so exhausted. Going out with a friend today to a food allergy fair and then going out to eat.
9/22--208.1 The food allergy fair was great yesterday there were a lot of foods to try out and I found a couple of new foods to eat. Did a lot of walking yesterday and hardly drank any water. Strength coach today.
9/23--208.5 Uptick is definitely from all of the foods I tried at the fair 2 days ago. It also didn't help that I did some extra snacking yesterday. Great workout yesterday.
9/24--208.5 Stopped myself from having the 2nd snack last night...I wasn't even hungry. Also, I haven't run in over 5 months since I hurt my hip and then hurt my ankle. The last couple of weeks I've been antsy to get back into running, but I was worried about ankle since it's still a little sore every so often. Well, last night I said I'm going to go for a run and test my ankle out, so I started up again with W1D1 of C25K so that I could take it slow. It felt great to get back out running and there were no issues with the ankle and I've already planned a 5k run in November.
9/25--207.6 Only one snack yesterday, so that was great. Strength coach tonight.

23/09: 157.7: Goals: 🌻😂😍 Birthday Lunch and Tea Dance. Indulged a little but dancing gave me extra calories, and I had a very light dinner, so hoping that the damage will be slight.

Female, 57 yy, 4'11''

STG: 120 (next milestone and 10 pounds to goal weight)

Goals for 10 day Challenge: loose 1.9 pounds (optimistic :-) but reach next milestone of 120.0!

Day/Weight/Comment

09/20 120.8 Starting off like last round with a 1.1 lb drop at the start! Whooshes like this tend to be followed by bumps up, plateaus, and then drops as weight stabilizes, so hope that it stabilizes soon! Weight day (deadlift, lunges, push-ups, inverted rows, and planks with cable rows) + 30 minute spin class, so won’t be surprised with water retention tomorrow. Feel like I wrote this 10 days ago too :-) Going for sushi/sashimi today and hopefully with pre-planning today it is IIFYM! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

09/21 120.8 No hugs needed! I am thrilled that my weight is the same as yesterday! My usual pattern with JGM10D over the last several rounds is to have a whoosh the first day, then a 1+ lb gain the next day, a plateau for several days, then small drops to end up a little bit below the first day. Holding the drop the first day is fantastic!!!! Xtrain (spin + HIIT) for cardio today; otherwise rest. Calories good so far! 10.8 lbs to goal!

09/22 120.4 Yeah!!! Holding the whoosh so far! Xtrain this morning - got new gym shoes yesterdays which felt great for the non-cycle part of class! Feel the beginning of a mild cold coming on, so going to take it easy the rest of the day. Live littleneck clams and local garlic, so having clams and linguine for dinner tonight. (cheat day for carbs) Should still be IIFYM with preplanning. May actually make STG this round!

09/23 119.8 Woohoo!!!! Made STG of 120.0. And my lowest weight in the last 13+ years. Less than 10s to goal!!! (of course expect this may bounce up tomorrow as today is strength day, but the ups will even out!) After previous diets that restricted calories or carbs, nice to be able to fit in avocado toast and linguine IIFYM and still lose weight.

09/24 120.9 Well not unexpected given the quick drops so far and that yesterday was strength training day; still down 1 lb so far for the round which is great for 5 days in! Still have another 5 days to get back to that low and STG!

09/25 119.6 Whoosh Take 2. Back down below 120 and a new low. Strength training this am and spin class in the evening. Did not get enough sleep last night - got to bed late and woke up at 4 due to breathing issues with this lingering cold, only to get up at 6:30 - really noticed the lack of energy by the end of the day so going to get more rest tonight!!!

3) Stay on top of assignment grading!!!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 – 185.8 – Little drop to start, despite the Chinese food I had last night. But here we are at the beginning of another weekend. How many calories in a poké bowl?
09/21 – 184.6 – Happy to see a drop, but I slept in this morning, so that may account for some off it. Apple festival with the grandkids this afternoon. Drinks and dinner with friends this evening. A bit over on calories but got in a 45 minute walk at the park.
09/22 – 184.6 – Holding steady. Gorgeous weather for the last day of summer! Dinner guests this evening, but logging and maintaining a deficit is easier when I can control the menu and portion sizes.
09/23 – 183.4 – Nice drop and, surprisingly, a new low. My younger son and his fiancé stopped by for a couple of days on their way home from a business trip, so we wound up doing a big family dinner and sitting around the fire pit until late last night. Restaurant lunch and take-out dinner today, so I expect a sodium bounce tomorrow. A busy day at work and I wanted to spend more time with family, so I didn’t cook, log, or walk. But I’ll be back on track tomorrow!
09/24 – 184.0 – There’s the bounce, but it’s not too bad. Exhausting day – 14 hours of teaching, meetings, and workshops - but I managed to stay under my calorie limit and log my food. No walk but I got in almost 9,000 steps. Next up: sleep!
09/25 – 184.0 – Slightly less busy day. Woke up feeling sluggish but determined to meet my goals today. I walked for an hour in the park next to campus and still made it to my afternoon workshop - with 3 minutes to spare. Met my calorie and logging goals. Even got a bit of the neverending grading done!

09/20 172.6 assumably almost all water weight but I’ll take it! Over 16k steps yesterday and (almost) hit my 1.5L of water target.
09/21 171.4 definitely need to increase my fibre! Only managed 8k steps yesterday 😞
09/22 169.8 I have now lost over 10lbs since beginning to use MFP again! Water weight is still weight you carry around so I’m good with whooshing it now and getting down to focusing on fatloss soon. 1.8lbs away from being 12st again makes me happy, as I’m definitely using each stone as a milestone. Yesterday I walked my 10k steps, drank more water and even had a curry I’d prepared weeks ago and frozen (definitely not diet-friendly, but I’m not going to throw out food, just work the rest of my cals for the day around it).
09/23 173 super low mood yesterday led to me eating an entire pizza. HAVE to meal prep today. Gutted.
09/24 171.2 trending back down is always good. Started a new workout class, which was very fun. I have my normal pole fitness class tonight so going to be going straight from work, preparing for a late dinner!
09/25 170.8 work is a nightmare at the moment but I got to my pole class last night! I didn’t even get close to my step goal yesterday but I have been hitting my water target (albeit at night)
09/26 170.6 it was my day off yesterday so I went for a 3 hour walk, got all my shopping done and carried it home, and meal prepped for the next 10 days! I didn’t hit my water goal (not even close) so that’s today’s focus. Very glad to still be losing!
