    Man, only one weigh in left for this challenge? Can't wait to continue into the next one!

    I do feel bloated this morning so there is a chance the weigh in is not accurate, hopefully this means I can break the cycle of 1 lbs every two weeks.

    12 Week Challenge 2019 ~ Sept 23 ~ Dec 16
    •Monday Updates•
    My name is Tish
    Highest Weight~ 253
    Current Weight: 185.2
    12 Week Goal Weight: 175

    Weigh In Schedule:
    9/23~ 185.2
    9/24~ 185.6
    9/30~ 183
    10/3~ 182.4
    10/07~ 183.6 - No, not gaining
    Just normal fluctuations.
    10/14 - 181.8
    10/21 - 181.6
    10/28 - 183 - Smh. Up and down the scale to end the month the same weight as I started the month. The good news is that this 183 is excess fluid and not October 1st excess fat. My body fat percentage decreased. The scale weight will catch up eventually.
    10/31 - 181.8
    11/4: 183.6 - no excessive carbs, don't think it's the amount of water I drink, SOMETHING though is keeping my weight elevated. I'll keep digging.
    11/11: 181.4
    11/18: 183.2
    11/25: 183.4
    12/02: DNW - Woke up feeling dehydrated and thirsty. I'll post my weight tomorrow.
    12/03 - 184.6

    My Name is Donna, Age 59. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA

    “Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: ”I’m with you kid. Let’s go.” – Maya Angelou


    My goal for this challenge is to power through the Halloween & Thanksgiving holidays and avoid as many temptations as possible to show a one pound loss per week. Out-of-town Christmas shopping travels will be the biggest challenge!

    Weigh In Schedule:
    09/23: 193.0
    09/30: 192.0
    10/07: 187.2 Traveling today & Wednesday. I hope I don’t wipe out all my progress!
    10/14: 190.0 I hate travel!
    10/21: 189.2 I wish I could have made more lasting progress.
    10/28: 187.8 Trying very hard. Travel this week so it will be a week of breaking even.
    11/04: 186.0 Did better than I thought. Gained a bit of travel weight but quickly worked it off and trusted the process.
    11/11: 185.8
    11/18: 185.8 Gained then lost it back so I broke exactly even. Time for some true progress!
    11/25: 183.6 I just can’t tell you how happy I am, however, this upcoming week brings two days of travel (starting tomorrow) and a Thanksgiving Dinner being celebrated late on the 30th so I dread the next weigh-in. But I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. For now, I’m doing the happy dance!
    12/02: 183.2 Okay, so the temporary inflated weight from Thanksgiving Dinner on the 30th is gone and I’m okay again. This is not my lowest, it occurred during the week prior to dinner, so I have more work to do but I’m 0.4 lower than last week, even after Thanksgiving! I’ll take it!
    12/09: 188.2 Drats! And I was doing so well!

    12/16:

    High sodium has a negative effect on me, too. I discovered that after going back and analyzing my meals. Seems i was being lazy on Fridays and Saturdays, and just ate quick meals (loaded with sodium). Now if I want the salty foods, I eat them on Wednesday and Thursday, and cut back starting Friday. So Weigh-in day is not water retention.

    12/16:

    Yep, sodium helps your blood retain more water. I actually have to do this for medical reasons and it works because salt absorbs water better then other materials in our bodies and also hangs around longer. Which is great if you need to retain water but not great if you need to loose weight 😅.
