Day/Weight/Comment

10/10-204.2: Yay!!! So excited about this loss! I'm trying not to be so strict with my food because it's driving me crazy. I said screw it yesterday and had some chips. My breakfast and lunch are always good and for dinner I had chicken fajitas with a little avocado and sour cream. Had this all home made and didn't add any bread to it. My water game still isn't where I want it to be, but I'm working on it. I did get in the gym last night

And it's been getting easier to go. Hardest part for me is how tired I feel after work. I won't be home until late tonight, so not sure if I'll go, but I will be getting a lot of walking in.

10/11-204.2: Annoyed, but also happy it's not going up. I had to leave work a little early yesterday to go to the Lotto office (I won $1,000 on a scratcher!

) and from there I decided to stop by the Outlets since it was in the area. I walked A LOT at the mall. And I was also so hungry (not good) and had a sample of bourbon chicken at the food court which sold me on getting a plate. I ate a little and felt full so packed the rest and kept walking. I got an iced water and headed home, but got hungry again and started munching on my leftovers. Was hoping to be down at least a baby bit, come on scale make it an even 204 dammit >:(
I'm just nervous. Driving out to see my friend tomorrow and she has no filter with food anymore and I don't want to go down that rabbit hole again. And it's like if you do eat less and try to be healthy they question you and guilt trip you into "come on lets have pizza and wine and chips and chocolate." Or maybe it's just my friends that are sucky like that. Kind of why I've been losing a lot of friends lately. You start to see their true colors. Anyways, happy Friday!!

10/12-205: Ugh! I did this to myself. I brought Armenian pizza to work for everyone. It's not as heavy as regular pizza, think of like a tortilla with some ground beef and cut up veggies on it and it's thing. I'm mad at myself because I was hungry and caved in and had 3

It was Friday night so I went out with my parents and had half a margarita and some chips and salsa. I didn't have much, but still.

10/13-DNW Was in Irvine spending the night at my friends so didn't get home until the afternoon. Made the mistake of having pancakes and has browns with my sausage and bacon at Dennys. I'm blaming the hormones right now.

10/14-206.4: I thought I had ditched 206, but here I am >:( More pissed at myself. I saw my friend over the weekend and we munched, but I still did pretty good. Last night I went to Souplantation and kinda let loose. Nothing too wild, but I should have had more salads and no pasta or baked potato. Also doesn't help it's been a few days since I last went to the gym.

10/15-206.2: Ugh it's down, but not by much

Kind of like a slap in the face by my scale. Think because it's my TOM I'm bloated and all over the place. Trying to just take it easy these next couple days. I didn't go to the gym last night because I felt really nauseated at work and it just didn't go away. Not sure if it's from something I ate or what, but just tried laying in bed instead. Seeing my bf tonight and mad at myself for forgetting to grab my scale. I know I sound kookoochoo but his scale sucks and I don't trust it and I like just having an idea of where I'm at each day ESPECIALLY after hanging out with him. We will most likely go to the gym together tonight and he has been trying to get me back on track.

10/16-DNW: Good thing is I'm not feeling as bloated today, but no idea what I'm at weight wise today. No gym last night. Got to bf's house feeling bleh. We wen't to Lucille's last night for dinner, but I honestly just had some bites of things and will have some of my leftovers for lunch today. Back on it starting tomorrow with my healthy eating and working out. These TOM pains are killing me! Also, and this cracks me up, bf got me a "Get *kitten* Done" notebook to use for logging my workouts at the gym. He knows I already log everything on MFP, but thought it would help me want to keep track and he wrote once I get 20 gym sessions in he will take me to my favorite, SUSHI! We joked about how I'd push myself to go to the gym more if it meant I get sushi. I know it's bad to reward yourself with food, but my sushi obsession is kinda of out of this world. Pros, it will keep me motivated and also this way we won't go as often and only when I push myself to workout more. I'm laughing at myself about this, but also kind of excited

10/17-205.4: I'm honestly surprised. Happy to be down almost a pound! I ate okay yesterday and was in too much pain to make it to the gym, but I did push myself to at least walk the dog, so I got in some activity there. I don't want to be too strict on myself right now. I hate starting fresh and then knowing I have plans on the weekend and then I have to start fresh all over again. I'm just trying to make good choices and overcome this weekend. Going to see my cousin tomorrow and have a little girl's/spooky movie night at her place. Really got to get in the gym tonight though, it's been too long.

10/18-205.2 Happy it went down, but not by much. Didn't get in the gym last night. I keep getting home late and I can barely keep my eyes open. Seeing my cousin tonight for some much needed girl time. I know I keep putting things off

Thinking of working out in the morning instead tomorrow since it will be the weekend and also thinking of doing a Disneyland day on Sunday with my cousin to get some walking in. Everyone on here is so nice and motivated. I need more people like MFP family in my life

10/18 note:
When I saw my weight spike back up yesterday I felt defeated, which is dumb because I know it's a marathon not a sprint and there's going to be setbacks. So I gave up. I decided it was a cheat day and i just ate anything I wanted. I hit 2500c for the day because I ate any food set in front of me. I guess it was a good opportunity to see what happens when you don't consider what's going into your body, and explains how fast I gain weight when I'm not focusing on my health.

Sometimes I'm just tired of saying no to yummy food, keeping track, etc. I feel like I need to make life changes that are unsustainable to continue to lose weight, and that makes me sad, and then I have cheat days, and then I gain weight.

Bottom line? This is difficult.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10 195.6 (+.6)/ 28.8% (+.1%) ate some feelings yesterday. No motivation or energy to work out today. It is what it is.

10/11 195.6 (+/-0) / 28.8% (+/- 0%) not what I expected for a pretty horrible dinner and dessert last night. But I’ll take it.

10/12 195.5 (-.1) / 28.7% (-.1%) thought I had a good day yesterday. Apparently not good enough. Ate good, worked out good, stayed away from sweets especially late at night. Guess we’ll see what tomorrow brings from today.

10/13 didn’t weigh in today.

10/14 195.8 (+.3) / 28.8% (+.1%) not too bad did the type of weekend I had

10/15 195.6 (-.2) / 28.7% (-.1%) been an interesting long weekend. Didn’t hit the gym at all the past few days (which is super unusual for me) But I’ll take this number. Well see how this week pans out to close out this challenge.

10/16 194.8 (-.8)/ 28.6% (-.1%) Wednesday’s are usually good days for me since I play soccer twice a week before this weigh in.

10/17 197.4 (+2.6) / 29.0% (+.4%) apparently eating better and working out isnt doing much good. I’ve had one of the better weeks I’ve had in a long time as far as eating and working out but not over doing it. I’ve gotten decent sleep something that rarely happens, yet I’m more tired than ever. All for what?? Extremely frustrated and annoyed. 2 and a half months in, it shouldn’t be this flippy floppy. Starting to question a lot.

10/18 195.8 (-1.6) / 28.8% (-.2%) no feelings towards this number. It can change in an instant. Someone recently told me they can see a difference in that I’m getting my figure Back. Or maybe I look smaller to them. Guess that’s what I have to go off of. I need more than just that one person telling me for my confidence to go up. But getting there

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10 -188.4- Finally got a good night's sleep last night. Still eating well and walking though I can see walking outside is going to be a challenge as the temps drop. I do plan to keep it up and just layer on the clothes to keep warm. I am finding that being outside helps me mentally as well as physically.

10/11 -187.3- Moving steadily along but my husband will be on vacation next week and, well, he is not into eating healthy so wish me luck!

10/12 -188.1- Still on track with calories and exercise. Still trending downward!

I only include the last 5 rounds, but have been doing these challenges since round 58. Still trying to get into the 130's. It is proving to be a lot tougher than I ever imagined, but I am going to continue trying. Maybe we will do it this next 10 days!

Goal: No weight higher than 144.9 and see 140/141 at least 50% of the time on the scale.

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 down3.3 Avg 144.99
Round 90: 143.7 - 140.9 down 2.8 Avg 142.68
Round 91: 140.9 - 143.6 up 2.7 Avg 143.62

10/10 - 142.9 I am slightly annoyed this am. I have been really good, even through my 3 day weekend. I should be lower than this. I guess I will just keep going and hopefully I see a whoosh sometime in the near future. It seems like I can not get past 142/143 for the life of me. My maintenance is within 5 pounds of where I am today, but at the rate I am going I may not be there till next year, lol. Maybe tomorrow I will see a nice drop, I am on track for today and not going to self sabotage. This is just the way it goes sometimes.

10/11 - 141.4 Nice little drop. My lowest last week was 141.5 for 2 days and 140.9 for 3 days the week before that, so maybe I can hold onto it this time. Really going to try and work hard this weekend. My daughter is having her wisdom teeth out this morning and then I have to work this afternoon, so it's just going to be one of those days. No fast food! No fast food! That will be my goal today.

10/12 - 142.3 I’m ok with this. Had a couple of drinks last night with dinner, but food was on point. So this should go back down as long as I stay on track today. The weekends are my downfall. I only ate 310 calories all day yesterday until dinner because I knew I was going to have a couple of drinks with our meal. So I should have still been within my limits.

10/13 - 143.6 This is the rest of last night I guess. Will try and stay on track this weekend. Making myself be really good the rest of the month to lose these last couple of pounds.

10/14 - 142.8 Not bad for a Monday weigh-in. My best one so far. Halfway through this round and so far I am feeling really good about my progress. I have pretty much stayed the same and not had any crazy fluctuations. We will see what happens the next couple of days. I really am expecting a good loss soon.

10/15 - 142.3 Was under calories again. Having some TMI issues this morning, so maybe that's why I am stalling. I have been working really hard to see a nice drop the last couple of weeks, but have just been stuck within the same couple of pounds. I miss the days where I would get a 1 or 2 pound drop in a 10 day challenge. Now it seems like it is a couple of ounces here and there. Granted that was 40 pounds ago, but a nice big whoosh would be amazing. Oh well, I guess I should be happy that I am so close to my goal weight and just keep working at it. Maybe tomorrow I will see a new low.

10/16 - 140.9 Finally! Back down to my lowest weight and what I ended last month on. Have had to fight to get back down to it. Was under calories again yesterday, but did have 2 light beers with dinner. Really wanting to break through and see a new low. On track for today and hoping to be good tonight. 3 more days to go, fingers and toes crossed!

10/17 - 140.9 I am shocked it did not go back up. Happy with it today, but ready to see a new low. Was under calories again yesterday, but had a couple of light beers with dinner again. I think this is what is stalling my progress. Even though I am working them into my calories, it's just empty calories and maybe dehydrating me a bit or something. No alcohol till Sunday for the Cowboys game at all! Maybe I will see a drop by Saturday if I do that.

10/18 - 141.5 Well I definitely did not expect a darn gain this morning. I had no alcohol last night and didn't allow myself to have a dessert with everyone else. Still have not seen a new low, but so far I have succeeded in both of my goals I set for myself this round and my trend is down almost 2 pounds so far this month. One more weigh in tomorrow and maybe I will see what I have been waiting for. If not I guess we will look for it in round 93.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 -181.4 – Halfway to the top of my goal range! That’s just the motivation I need this round as work demands ramp up and it gets harder to fit in the things I need to do to stay on track. Student conferences ate up most of my time today, but I fixed a few quick meals to stay within my calorie limits.
10/11 – 180.8 – Nice to see a drop going into the weekend. Heading off for a quiet weekend of hiking and wineries with my husband. Leaving my computer at home and bringing a novel from my long TBR list.
10/12 – DNW – Watkins Glen, NY. Walked down the North Ridge (Indian Trail) and up the 832 steps of the Gorge Trail in light rain, carrying a daypack, without much difficulty. Three years ago, I was getting winded just walking up to my third-floor classrooms! I think I earned my winery lunch 😊
10/13 – DNW – Gorgeous autumn day! Got up early to hit the Gorge Trail again before the crowds. Cut over after the waterfalls and looped down on the South Ridge. After lunch (and another winery), we walked the Ravine and Gorge Trails in the Finger Lakes National Forest. No big waterfalls, but we had the trails virtually to ourselves. Worked up an appetite – I’m sure I ate (and drank) back all my exercise calories!
10/14 – DNW – Travel day. Up before dawn to get back in time for my afternoon class. Feeling a little stiff, but my DH drove most of the way and I enjoyed watching the sunrise over the misty countryside. Feeling restored!
10/15 – 185.0 – Whoa! That’s some bounce! Salt? Alcohol? Inflammation? Probably some of each, plus eating over my calorie allowance for a few days. Back on track this morning to turn this around. Catching up on posts and grading as well. NSV: wearing my tees tucked in without feeling self-conscious 😊
10/16 – 183.0 – Headed back down. We’re getting some badly needed rain today, so I’m focusing on getting some grading done. Logging and calorie goals met.
10/17 – 182.4 – Not quite back to where I was at the beginning of the round, but I’m moving in the right direction. Another busy day with a workshop and extended office hours, but I got my exercise in doing some serious housework. Food was mostly a series of snacks rather than regular meals today, but I kept an eye on my goals for the day (including logging it all) and made pretty good choices.
10/18 – 182.4 – Busy day, followed by a lovely evening sitting around the firepit drinking spiked mulled cider under the stars. Finally feels like autumn! Logged everything (including the pumpkin cake I had for dessert) and stayed within my calorie limit, so today feels like a win, even if I’m up tomorrow.

SW: 68,7kg
Challenge Goal Weight: 68,2kg (-500gr)

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10 - 68,7 - DOMS today. Feeling fresh and happy. I am going to bump up my cals by 100 because that would reflect what I want to achieve in the long run a bit better. I am planning on having a chill day today and just walking for 1 hour.
10/11 - 68,8 - Still retaining water I think. This is what I find most difficult to mindfully deal with. But you get used to it as time goes on and as your mindset shifts... And a big part of looking at it 10 days’ at a time, and seeing the difference round after round IS what made me join in the first place. Great, I’m back on a mindful track :-)
10/12 - 68,5 - had a last minute dinner invite yesterday, ate pretty well throughout the day and worked out. Everything’s fine with me :-) on track and happy :-)
10/13 - 68,3 - It’s the weekend and I am out and about. Walked 3 hours yesterday. This loss was to be expected :-) Still trying to find a calorie target to match a loss of 250gr, but the unpredicted walks make it hard to do so. I think after 30 days of data I will have a bigger picture perspective and see what correlates and what doesn’t.
10/14 - 68,0 - whoop whoop. I didn’t walk nor had any workout yesterday, ate well, still hiking up the calories slowly and trying to find balance with general activity. Worked out and walked today.
10/15 - 68,1 - good insight into the small up and downs. Ate a lot more than usual yesterday to make up for the day’s activity. And I was still hungry after my meals. I think I am low on veggies and my macros were not as balanced. So today grocery shop and bulking up my meals with more veggies and fats mmmhhhh....(Carbs and protein are on point - i.e. high :-))
10/16 - 67,9 - alright! Gotta up the calories from now on :-) love this new approach I have. It’s definitely because things are going where I want them to, and I am sure there will be bad and hard times along the way but right now, I am enjoying it fully :-) + worked out today
10/17 - 67,9 - happy with that :-)
10/18 - 67,8 - still happy. Crazy how this round flew by for me. It really shows that I can make progress when I’m committed :-) - worked out today
10/19 - 68 - GOAL was : 68,2kg so MADE it :-) I went out for a long walk to celebrate and I felt really good, step felt lighter, the sun was shining and light reflected on the water. Gosh I love that feeling. I do sometimes feel impatient to see 66kg, as that is my first big milestone, then 63kg is my goal, but I remind myself of how good I already feel and how it doesn’t really matter. The cm will drop in time, my food is tasty, my life is going well, my moods are up and stable. All of that is a result of my better choices. So a couple of kg don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things.

I am upping my cals by 100 again this week. I wish to get to 1800 cals a day on average, which should still give me a small deficit. Right now I am at 1650 cals daily (and more when I work out)

See you in the next round peeps. I hope you are all well.

Round 90: 5¾lbs (19st 1lb)
Round 91: 7½lbs (18st 7½lb)

ROUND 92
Goal: 5lb loss.

10th October: 18st 6¾lb (¾lb loss) Feeling great! Finished week 6 of couch to 5k with a 25minute run. 💪 Honestly if you guys knew me you'd never have thought I could do it! I never thought I could. I'm so enjoying it too which is such a surprise!
11th October: 18st 5¾lb (1lb loss) So happy to see that lb loss but suspect it's a fake out - skipped my evening meal last night because my kids were so unsettled. By the time I got the opportunity to eat it was after 9pm and I couldn't be bothered. I think I can expect a wee bump tomorrow.
12th October: 18st 6lb (¼lb gain) There it is! No matter, I can cope with that. Onwards and downwards.
13th October: 18st 6lb (no change) I can't explain this. I was under on calories and jogged for half an hour yesterday. Disappointing.
14th October: 18st 6lb (no change) Umm..!! I will be going jogging tonight. Hoping that will give me a boost to get past this little ledge I'm stuck on. Fingers crossed.
15th October: 18st 6¾lb (¾lb gain) I can't even pretend to understand. 25min jog yesterday, under on calories, good choices. I'm feeling very frustrated. Literally back where I started on day one of this round.
16th October: 18st 8¾lb (2lb gain) 🤷‍♀️
17th October: 18st 7lb (1¾lb loss) Eight days in and I'm finally back to my starting weight for this round. 🙄 I'm so disappointed and baffled.
18th October: 18st 5¼lb (1¾lb loss) No chance of meeting my target now (unless I lose 2¾lb tomorrow) but at least the numbers are headed in the right direction.
19th October: 18st 3¼lb (2lb loss) That'll do. I'm not convinced daily weighing is for me, this was a very wrought and emotional challenge!

Loss this challenge: 4¼lb.

I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!

Weight loss is slowing as I approach my UGW. However, I KNOW I am doing this!

Round 92
10/10: 155.4: Goals: 🌻 I am so close to my 2019 goal!! 😍
11/10: 155.0: Goals: 🌻 2019 goal achieved. Now all I have to do is keep it there or lower!
12/10: 155.9: Goals: 🌻 Restaurant meals are so high sodium! I think this is mostly water weight.
13/10: 155.0: Goals: 🌻 Yep! Water weight 😂
14/10: 154.6: Goals: 🌻 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
15/10: 154.5: Goals: 🌻
16/10: 158.3: Goals: 🌻 I had a bit of a blowout, but not that much! I imagine this is mostly water weight is I over-indulged in custard creams, crackers and cheese on Tues night. Fingers crossed, anyway!
17/10: 154.6: Goals: 🌻 Phew! That’s a relief! My midnight munchie monster is back in the box! 😂
18/10: 154.9: Goals: 🌻 bouncing about a bit, and the weekend is coming *bites knuckles * 😂
19/10: 155.1: Goals: 🌻
This has been an interesting round. I have bounced about quite a bit, what with the meal out last Friday, and then a subconscious relaxing because I hit my annual target. I did achieve my goal for the round in that I do weigh less than at the beginning of the round. However, I know I can do much better, and have have set myself a new goal for 2019 and a new UGW.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10 – 144 – Nice way to start the round!
10/11 – 143.5 – Considering my water intake was not great yesterday, I am really happy with this weight. My work snacks this week of grapes and cherry tomatoes seems to be keeping me on track.
10/12 – 144.5
10/13 - 146
10/14 – 146.5 – Very little water this weekend, along with a lot more sodium does not make for a great Monday weigh in. However, I’ve got my grapes and cherry tomatoes ready for the week along with plenty of water.
10/15 – 146.5 – I was hoping for a drop, but my muscles are pretty sore from a workout yesterday and my rings were still tight on my fingers when I got up this morning. No workout tonight and more water today will hopefully bring down the water weight.
10/16 – 145.5 – I’m glad it’s down, but I still have a ways to go before the weekend.
10/17 – 145 – Finally back to my starting weight and within maintenance. I had just finished telling my husband that I was going to stay vigilant this weekend so I can start dropping back to my trend weight of 142 when we found out we’re going to have an unexpected out of town visitor this weekend. I’ll do my best, but enjoying a night or two out with a loved one is more important than a few pounds dropping right away.
10/18 – 143.5 – There’s my water whoosh! If nothing else, I’m going to drink a ton of water today to try to keep the sodium down for tomorrow’s weigh in.
10/19 – 143.5 – I’m very happy! The extra water I drank yesterday must have helped keep my weight down since we ate out with our visitor and I had a drink. I made my goal of weight loss and not smoking.

10/10 182.8lbs 5h12m/69(nice)/10:18pm - better, but somehow more tired. 😴 This will be my first day back at the gym in a week.... pray for ya girl. 🙏
10/11 183.2lbs 5h24m/62/10:52pm - GREAT to be back at the gym! Probably recovering some of the water weight lost - I am noticing the difference. Now, if I can just get a good night of sleep, but the congestion continues to create challenges. Feel so much better, tho!
10/12 182.9lbs 5h51m/73/11:38pm - too much booked and won't be able to get to the gym, but I am SO thankful to have made it to the weekend! A chance to rest a least a little more. 🤧
10/13 180.8 lbs 7h25m/50/10:00pm - some sleep interrupted by bouts of coughing. So, that weight... yeah, I was like that can't be right. Moved the scale in case it was not level & got an even lower weight. Probably water, but I am working SO hard to recover my hydration, so I don't really get it. It is what it is... and I move on. Eating out twice today, with booze, so we shall see... lol
10/14 180.6lbs 6h48m/71/10:22pm... MUCH better sleep, but still interrupted by all the extra water... I am thirsty 24/7. Feeling like I'm finally kicking this! Training this am - will be the test.
10/15 182.3lbs 7h19m/79/9:26pm - feels like my hydration is coming back. Had a good workout yesterday and a mostly decent night of sleep. Appetite is back, too. 😎
10/16 182.2lbs 5h59m/76/11:02pm - busy day, feeling better but need to get back to my regular eating. Sleep is improving but still the potty break interruptions - lol. COMBAT TONIGHT!
10/17 182.1lbs 6h21m/69 (nice!)/9:41pm - tough day. Rough night. Feeling better, but SO freaking busy, I can't eat when I need to so I end up short and eating late. I need this weekend so badly!
10/18 181.2lbs Sleep tracker didn't record, secondary record says 10h/8:39pm - was tired, went to bed early. Feel like I need 4 more hours, tho...
10/19 180.2lbs 7h40m/11:14pm - weird, tough week ended on a good note: decent productive day at work, solid win for my Capitals. 🏒🦅❤

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10 -188.4- Finally got a good night's sleep last night. Still eating well and walking though I can see walking outside is going to be a challenge as the temps drop. I do plan to keep it up and just layer on the clothes to keep warm. I am finding that being outside helps me mentally as well as physically.

10/11 -187.3- Moving steadily along but my husband will be on vacation next week and, well, he is not into eating healthy so wish me luck!

10/12 -188.1- Still on track with calories and exercise. Still trending downward!

10/10 185.2 (-1.2) Woohoo!! I was hoping to hit 185 something before vacation. Hopefully I can maintain or Even drop a half lb while away.
10/11. NW. Family vaca
10/12 NW. Family vaca
10/13 NW. Family vaca
10/14 NW. Family vaca
10/15 post vaca spike? 187.4 (+2.2) ok expected spike. I stayed pretty much keto the whole weekend but far more sodium than usual so I'm guessing this is water weight.
10/16 186.2 (-1.2) starting to drop water weight. Have a virus so I just laid around all day yesterday. Steps are like -3 and I ate leftover chicken wings for dinner. Not my picture of healthy habits day.

10/17 185 ( -1.2) still sick with this virus but hoping I can do a workout today. Feeling like I'm getting softer already.
10/18 184.4 (-0.6) I had a few drinks with dinner which always slows my loss but it's still a drop so I'm happy! Also I dipped below 185 so I officially feel like I'm losing weight actually (the 187-197 range is where I typically sit so this feels like actual progress)
10/19 184.8 (+0.4) aw I was hoping for one more drop today but I think my sodium was too high. Oh well. I still (barely) made goal.

10/14 129.2 Aw, man! I go on vacation (missed you guys!) and this is what I come back to?! All right, jumping back into it. Some of this uptick might be water/salt retention.
10/15 129.4 Yesterday was more or less my regular eating plan, and I'm sure it may take up to a week to get back down to the middle of my maintenance range. As fun as it was to indulge on vacation, I'm glad to be back to my routine.
10/16 129.4 I've been doing this long enough not to be worried.
10/17 128.6 Getting rid of the vacation poundage, but I still feel incredibly bloated/puffy. I may do a quick round of keto at the end of the month, up until Thanksgiving.
10/18 126.6 All right! Woke up feeling less bloated. Heading into the weekend, but I'm in maintenance now and I GOT THIS!
10/19 126.6 I did it! Corn dog for lunch, pizza for dinner, ice cream for dessert and YES, I know it's not the healthiest ever, and YES, it's totally typical food for me and has been for almost the entire time it's taken me to lose 30 lbs, and NO, I don't exercise ever, and YES, of course I eat fruits and veggies! Broccoli with butter, apples with cinnamon, and salad with my favorite dressing are staples.

It's just that to be honest, I have FAILED in the past when I tried to stick to a prescribed plan with tons of proscriptions on what I could eat. Salmon and asparagus for dinner Tuesday? But what if I feel like salmon on Monday and asparagus on Thursday? Now I follow my tastebuds, and eating is something I look forward to, not something I do to lose weight.

I'm still not ruling out a round of keto because I honestly enjoy it and the benefits it brings, but only in small doses. After 2 years on keto once, I have learned it's not a lifestyle, but a tool. Now to read everyone else's updates. See you all next round!

🎀10/10 - 181.4 -Early weigh in. 29hrs fast. Meal times~8pm,10pm. 26g carbs, 20g net carbs. Dropped 2.2lbs of fluid weight. Happy about that!

🎀10/11 - 183.2 - My usual, drop fluid/gain fluid. IF/17.5hrs. 17g carbs. Meal times~ 3:30, 6:30, 10pm.

🎀10/14 - 181.8 - IF/19hrs. 24g carbs, 15g net carbs. Meal times~ 2:30, 8pm. I have been focused and doing well with a combination of rehab and strength training exercises. Doing as much intentional exercise walking as my joints will allow. When they say no, I don't go. That being said, I am on my feet and walking around doing daily activities around home and running errands, as always parking my car at the far end of parking lots to get in more steps. My lower body is literally out of balance, because of weak pelvic muscles. That makes it difficult for me to walk for extended periods of time, therefore, lol, I purchased a sacroiliac support belt in hopes that it will help me get in a daily walk. This is all new for me, praying that it works. I don't give up, I find a new path.

Round 91 was the worst of the the last few rounds. I’m going to keep joining though and keep trying. I need to get my diet under control and start doing some form of exercise again. I think I need to update my excel sheet and start tracking my numbers again that was motivating me to see the trends going down.

I did something silly on Monday(14th), and did an ab exercise improperly and thus strained my back, so out of commission for workouts...thought this morning I would be ready, but I think I will do some gentle yoga stretching, but that's it. So, be gentle with my body and next round will be better

I ate weird yesterday — didn’t feel great, so I nibbled during the day and evening. All better this morning. Planning to paint hallway trim today, plant bulbs, and get my change-of-season clothes organized. The fun never stops!

And I’m planning a nice walk this evening. It’s a gorgeous day here — I hope where you are, too!

10/11 - 165.4
I seem to be on a lazy streak -- must be the beautiful warm fall days! It's supposed to rain today and be cooler the rest of the week, so I guess I can get back to work.

Next week I plan to return to the gym -- I spent the summer exercising outdoors, which it SO much better. Enjoy the weekend, all!

10/12 - 166
Darn it. Oh, well.

Oh for heaven’s sake. But I’m doing better with the night eating, so there’s that.

10/17 - 168.2
WHAAA???? I have no idea. Sodium? Bad battery in scale? We’ll see what happens tomorrow. Jeesh.

10/18 - 166.4
Whew. I don’t know what was up yesterday. Anyway, I’m doing better about evening snacks, though I did have some nuts last night. I’m hoping to lose a little more by tomorrow.

10/19 - 165.6
Okay then, a full-circle round. I was mostly responsible yesterday but did have 3 cookies last night at a movie evening at UU. And more nuts than I “allow” myself per day.

Otoh, I’m healthy and having fun “coloring” my house, and DH bought me a gorgeous new-to-me desk yesterday, delivery at 1, so I’m excited about getting my office/writing “studio” in shape. I haven’t been writing all summer (intentionally) but have some deadlines approaching for new pieces I want to submit. And guess what? I eat better when I’m writing regularly! So it’s time. Yay! See you next round — have a terrific weekend!

I am not on a diet, but a lifelong pilgrimage to maintain physical & emotional health. Reaching and maintaining a lower healthy weight is just one of several goals.

OSW 382.0
RSW 285.8

Late this round brings tom so I expect that my weight will be all over the place. My goal for this round is to stay on track and hopefully end lower than I started. I’m well on track to hit my goal for weight loss this year.

10/10 286.2 I have no idea what caused this bounce, but they happen like that on occasion. I had a busy, stressful evening, so I suspect that played a part. My nsv is that some of my pants are getting lose and I realized yesterday that they are no longer a little tight in the thighs. I might have to replace them sooner than I anticipated.

10/11 286.0 I expected a bounce up from a late dinner, high sodium and a dumbbell workout. I’m taking a rest day today because of doms in my leg.

10/12 285.6 I was hopeful of a bigger drop, but I’ll take it, especially since I didn’t bounce up yesterday. I think I was a little dehydrated again yesterday because I drank about 50oz of water at dinner time and my leg stopped bothering me and my energy level went up. I must not be drinking enough for my activity level lately.

10/13 285.8 It’s my usual pre tom stall/bounce.

10/14 287.0 Not too bad considering that I had a big lunch yesterday. On the plus side of that I wasn’t very hungry at dinner time so I ate pretty low then allowing me to end the day at the high end of my calories. My nsv was walking to and from the burger place. In the past a walk like that would have left me wiped out and/or in pain but I came home and did 30 minutes on my exercise bike and another 15 later in the evening.

10/15 286.6 Tom arrived yesterday afternoon so hopefully I’ll see some good drops soon.

10/16 286.0 Slowly but surely dropping, hopefully tomorrow brings a new low.

10/17 285.6

10/18 288.0 I earned every ounce of this. I’ve made a plan to deal with days that I need to run errands.

10/19 288.0 Next round will be better.

TRG +2.2

poisonesse · October 2019

Female 68 years young.
SW: 158.4
UGW (hoping that means ultimate goal weight): 148
GW: 156.4
Goals this round: 2 lb drop, drink tons of water (I have kidney stones and one has been kicking up the past month), get in more exercise (again, kidney stone has been hampering efforts)

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10 158.4 that's down .2 from yesterday, the last day of Round 91, so again, happy camper here. I credit that to my exercise bike, just hiking seems to keep me fine for maintenance now, but seems I need a bit more for weight loss now that I'm so close to goal. GRRR! lol
10/11 159.8 FIE ON YOU CHINESE TAKEOUT FOOD!!! And of course, even overestimating the quantity when I logged, the site had me under by over 500 calories yesterday. FIE ON THE CALORIE ESTIMATOR AS WELL!!!
10/12 159.4 couldn't believe it, I ate 2 of the triple chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream icing that I made for the hubby's birthday yesterday! Imagine what I could have lost without 'em!
10/13 157.6 Water weight from that Chinese food. Hope it stays off!

10/14 157.6 WOO HOO! I held it, and over the weekend even!!! YES!!!
10/15 157.6
10/16 158.4
10/17 158.4
10/18 158.4
10/19 157.4

So, I dropped a pound this round, but I can take that. I think because I'm in the normal weight range for my height that losing will be harder, and slower, now. (High normal for me is 163, over that I'm overweight.) But I can live with a pound loss every 10 days, even 1/2 pound... as long as it's going down and I don't allow myself to hit 160 again, I'm a happy camper! And I was AWOL for a few days, I honestly just forgot to run over here to update, though I was sticking with the plan. But had WAY too much sodium this time around, so that's something I'll have to work on. ;-) Thanks everyone, for letting me play with y'all. And I'll be here for next round, too.

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

10/9 121.5
*******
10/10 120.5
10/11 121.0 Spent 6 hours sewing with a friend yesterday. Had a salad and meat balls for lunch and nothing sounded good for dinner. DH needed a meal so at 7PM we went to Panda Express. I got Kung Pao Chicken-not the best choice but not terrible -no side. I used to get the mixed veggies and then they turned it into “Super Greens” with kale 🤮🤮🤮 so now they have no side I will eat.
10/12 120.0 We’re going to Breakfast Bingo this morning. “Continental” Breakfast another name for a load of carbs.

**Late edit-bagels, English muffins, croissants, jelly, cream cheese, 3 brands of yogurt, cottage cheese, fresh fruit and canned peaches. I picked the lowest carb yogurt(9g,) some cream cheese, and some berries. Almost my daily limit of carbs before 10AM. I ate carefully the rest of the day.
10/13 119.0
10/14 121.0 It’s all good. Wine tasting party at my daughter’s yesterday-5 wines tasted, snacks eaten. While my weight went up 2#, my carbs were right at my limit and I’m still in nutritional ketosis and my glucose was 83 this morning. I’m sure this is water gain from the wine.
10/15 121.5 It’s good, I feel great and am “testing the waters.” Cici’s Pizza for lunch. Yes, I ate crust and dessert pizza so this is all carbs. Bad ones. Back on track today. Here is a picture of me taken Sunday wearing my then 15 year old granddaughter’s homecoming dress. Size 7!
10/16 121.5 I ate carefully yesterday. Today is a super busy day and I didn’t get enough sleep. Having trouble getting out of my chair.
10/17 123.0 Out to late (for us) dinner last night with friends and I ate 2 small dinner rolls as well as the healthy for me stuff. Tonight we have a quilt guild meeting and the new location is catering our “snacks” as part of the room cost.
10/18 121.0
10/19 120.5 Going to an all day sew day after a recognition thing for Vietnam vets. Food and water provided at sewing.

10/11 – 125.6 – Field trip yesterday, pizza for dinner, and still TOM.
10/12 – 125.4 – Women’s small group last night. Ate some stuff that I probably shouldn’t have, but I did limit my portions.

10/14 – 126.4 – Did ok with food, more snacks/sweets than I should have though. Haven’t been tracking my calories this weekend and need to get back to that today. Had a stressful/emotional night last night. Between those 2 things I am trying to get myself together this morning.
10/15 – 126.8 – I think this is still from this past weekend, had a pretty good food day yesterday.
10/16 – 126.4 – Back down, but I really don’t want to keep bouncing back and forth here.

Goal for this round: 223.0 (trying to be realistic)

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10: 224.2 (-0.4)/18.9 (-0.1). I'm happy that the downward trend is continuing. I ate at about maintenance yesterday, succombing a bit to temptation later in the night. I'm feeling like I need to give myself a little bit of leeway for nights like last night. I've been shooting straight for my target calorie goal every day, carefully planning things out to be "done by dinner." Every once in a while I want a drink with dinner, as well.

10/11: 224.2 (0.0)/18.9 (0.0). I was at or slightly above maintenance last night, likely because of the dinner I had after my wife flaked on me re: the gym. I have my plan for the gym set; Tuesday, Thursday or Friday, and Sunday every week. I decided Thursday is better than Friday, because it gives me a day of rest before basketball, and it keeps my Friday night open for fun (I NEED that). The "flaking" did not throw me too far off track, but I need to commit to sticking to MY plan, regardless of what my lovely wife does or does not do. It's not her fault. I am a big boy, and I can make my own decisions.

10/12: 224.2 (0.0)/18.9 (0.0). I lifted weights last night, but also had an impromptu birthday celebration (after I had dinner) for my niece at my brother-in-law's house. I was "pretty good," but I did have a cupcake. Basketball today.

10/13: 222.6 (-1.6)/18.8 (-0.1). I both went to bed and woke up late, so I'm not sure how much I trust this number. Yesterday I played basketball, did a bunch of housework, and then went to Fright Fest at Six Flags Magic Mountain in the evening. I got plenty of exercise. My eating wasn't fantastic, but I kept my portions under control, and I resisted the urge to indulge in a late night (early morning, really) snack on the way home from Magic Mountain. I also, coincidentally, dropped a chair on the side of my foot yesterday, bruising it badly and shearing off a significant amount of skin (after basketball, but before Magic Mountain). It's still bleeding moderately if I don't have a band aid on it. I might skip out on the gym today, because my neck/foot are killing me a little bit. At the very least I have home projects to work on. I'll probably still hit the gym, though. I hate to lose momentum; I've been pretty good about getting there 3x/wk for the past few weeks.

10/14: 223.6 (+1.0)/18.9 (+0.1). Back spasms. Didn't feel up to posting.

10/15: 224.4 (+0.8)/19.0 (+0.1). Injuries are a definite trigger for me. Yesterday was basically an extended weekend, but one that I spent on my back recovering from back spasms. I grazed late at night on some comfort food. I'm feeling better this morning, though. If I feel the same when I get home, I'll go to the gym tonight.

10/16: 224.4 (0.0)/19.0 (0.0). Gym didn't happen last night. Back is feeling better, but I'm not interested in making it worse by pushing myself too hard right now. I'll rest today and get back to the gym on Thursday. Eating was good for most of the day, but I found a couple of homemade tamales in the fridge that I could not resist. I also got a delivery from my favorite distillery (2 bottles of brandy, and 2 bottles of rum), and I "sampled" the brandy. If you don't know about Lost Spirits Distillery and you like alcohol, you should check it out!

10/17: 224.8 (+0.4)/19.0 (0.0). I ate too much for dinner last night (not too bad, though), and my body has been "holding back" on something for a bit, so I'm not overly concerned. I am going to the gym tonight.

10/18: 222.4 (-2.4)/18.8 (-0.2). WHOOSH!!! And then there are days like this. I take them when they come. I went to the gym last night and lifted weights. I was good with food during the day, and I ate a healthy, reasonable dinner. I had a 200 calorie snack late at night, but at worst that offset some of my exercise calories. Feeling pretty good at this moment.

10/19: 221.8 (-0.6)/18.7 (-0.1). I know it's cheating, but it feels really good to have my all-time low (since coming back to JGMTD) on the last day of a weigh-in. I'm feeling pretty good. For that, it means that "bad days" don't hit me quite as hard. I feel like I'm fully in the process. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

R92 EW/EBF%: 221.8 (-2.8)/18.7 (-0.3), AW/ABF%: 223.7 (-0.9)/18.89 (-0.10)
