Day/Weight/Comment
10/24 - 72.6
10/25 - 72.6
10/26 - 72.7 - Now you can just stop it. After the week I've had I should be much lower than this. I maintained a nice average deficit of just over 500kcals per day last week, so by rights I should be down 0.5kg, not up by that amount. *Sigh*. I mean I _know_ it's probably hormone related fluctuations. And I know if I stick to the course it'll go away. But it doesn't stop it from being frustrating you know. And it's causing my trend weight to climb. I'm not sure it's going to get to my target unless I stop holding onto that weight pronto! However, I did measure myself yesterday, and in general it looks like my measurement are trending downwards. Bust is very much looking like it's going to get back to my "normal" sizing first as it only has half an inch before it gets there. Waist isn't doing fabulous, but is finally consistently down below my top marker. Hips seem to be staying high, I'm not overly upset about that. My final measurement that I like to take is my left thigh, as I find that it's less prone to fluctuations compared to the others, and yep, it's been a steady downwards slope, so that's a happy one. Overall I'm feeeling slimmer. My clothes are fitting a little better/looser so I'm feeling more optimistic than my scale weight would suggest.

RGW 173.6 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

10/24 174.2 I made it to the overweight range on the BMI chart! When I get to my first goal of 160 lbs I plan on reevaluating it and deciding how much more I want to lose. Honestly I never thought I would get this far. Happy to say I've stuck to it and I don't plan on stopping!

10/25 174.6 I have an abscessed tooth. I cant get into a dentist until tomorrow and this is the most pain I've ever been in. I can handle a lot of pain but when it comes to my teeth I am the world's biggest baby. The only thing I ate yesterday was mac n cheese. Probably a bump bc of the carbs? Idk. I'm not worried about calories til this thing gets fixed lol.

10/26 175.0 I'm not sure why it's going up. I haven't been able to eat much of anything the last 2 days. I'm going to a dentist today.

Got my "conversation" posts in yesterday morning, but when I went to post my real post, MFP wouldn't let me into the community, so it's all in this one today. Happy Monday, everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/24 180.4 Pretty proud of myself for yesterday’s self-control. I took my grand baby to a little mountain town fairly close to us yesterday after work for a walk on the greenway. While the greenway is wonderful, as most little mountain towns are this one is full of fudge, candy, and ice cream. I had none! Then when trying to find a place to eat, I left one place because there was literally nothing but junk food (fried stuff or high calorie options) on the menu and went to a place where I could get a better choice. (It was just along our walk, so no one noticed.) This is the kind of self-control it takes for me to be successful, and my body really wanted the ice cream or rich dessert. I just have to say no to this stuff right now. And I did!
10/25 179.2 Yes! Into a new decade in the right direction for a change!
10/26 180.6 It’s OK. It had been straight down for a week, so it was time for a blip up. Weight loss isn’t linear, and I know that. I pulled a meal out of the freezer for early dinner last night before a Halloween event. It was not one that I had carefully calorie/content controlled, so that is probably to blame, too. I was careful with portion control and did really well not being overwhelmed by the Halloween candy all around at the event. I also walked a ton because the event was “Boo at the Zoo,” so I pushed a baby stroller (which means my watch doesn't record the steps) all over the place at the zoo.

Round 130: DAY THREE

Starting weight: 335.2
Aim: lose 1.3lbs (333.9)

Goals: weigh in every day and also post calories for the previous day

10/24: 335.9 (yesterday cals = 1652) - disappointing but sticking with it. Obviously...
10/25: 335.2 (yesterday cals = 1601) - down a bit, which is good, but god it's slow.
10/26: 335.2 (didn't count) - that's good that it's going down. Keep at it!

ZizzyBumble · October 2020

Hi, I’d like to join please.

I am seeking to maintain (or drop a small amount) and find that I need the discipline of daily weighing to stay on track. I use Happy Scale to record my weight and will post actual weight in kg and the trend direction.

Round 130 (1st for me)

SW 57.2 kg
GW 56.8 kg

Sat 24 57.2 Trend ↔️
Sun 25 56.9 ⬇️ More than I was expecting 😊

Next overall goal is to get back to 142.4, which was my last recorded weight before COVID (was mid-Feb).

For this round, I am trying to be realistic, both my birthday and Halloween are during these 10 days. So I am trying to take off one more pound during the 10 days, while remembering to remain under 145 for my birthday which was my previous goal.

Round 126 equivalent: -3.8
Round 127: -2.0
Round 128: -1.4
Round 129: -1.4

Round 130 – starting weight 144.4

10/24 144.0 Last evening, the day had passed and I had not remembered to get in any formal exercise, so I headed out for another walk, even though the majority of it was after dark. I spent the rest of the evening looking into reflective attire. :P

10/25 142.6 Wonderful surprise number for me. I need to keep yesterday’s food diary in mind.  BUT, the number feels too good to be true. Planning to stay the course today (I have pre-tracked through the 27th) and will “check-in” on MFP using tomorrow’s weight for my 59th b-day.

10/26 – Happy 59th to me! 143.0 Super happy with this. Last round, my goal was to be under 145.0 for my 59th birthday and it almost looked like it would not happen. Then a few nice losses have got me to 143! I have pre-tracked my birthday (Chinese – 2 cups moo goo gai pan & 1 spring roll) and current plans are to stay under calories, but who knows, I might have a mini splurge. But what? I will be prepared for an unknown morning tomorrow as the Chinese food sodium has potential to create havoc.`See you all tomorrow morning!

My goal for 2020 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:

🔹Drink more water (target min 80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (4 AF days per week; ~16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
10/24 219.6 Walked 3 miles this evening, tracked, AF. Long car drive returning from the camp. Yesterday I felt like I’m back in sync with following my better habits and plans I started in August. Still in the teens but really sorry to not see the 218 on the scale that I saw earlier in the week before the camp. I know why given my choices at the camp. It’s in the past … moving on.
10/25 218.0 Walked 6 miles, tracked, 4 glasses of wine … my kids surprised me with a birthday party.

10/26: 212.2 / I had a fantastic weekend away at some friend’s lake cabin. I can’t believe I am only one pound up from the day we left. Probably due to a couple scenic hikes in beautiful southern Illinois.

I had a sense of renewed dedication this morning to some ongoing goals I have. They have been neglected in recent weeks. I need to make room for some work in those areas. Happy Monday everyone!

10/26 157.2 hmm. I had a busy active weekend at the horse show. Not sure why I'm up. My body does tend to bounce up after a hard workout day. Hoping this is down tomorrow, but I'll drink lots today.

kalchthaleri · October 2020

My main goal is not to be elated or devastated by the scale. It has been a very long, emotionally painful journey with my weight, all of my life. I want so badly to escape my food addiction. I never want to be 338lbs. again but I know it could very well happen. I don’t want to be 115lbs. again because at that weight I was losing my hair and I was sick all of the time and exercising four hours a day, eating less than 800 calories. I just want moderation!

This daily weigh-in has been a good discipline. Hard to get too excited or upset over the scale when one sees how much fluctuation happens regardless of my caloric intake and exercise.

I limit myself to a manageable 3.5 mile run each day, a 20 min morning workout and a 10 minute bedtime workout. And I eat 1,200 6 days a week and 3,600 one day a week. (My high-protein day). No added sugar. No meat.

Round 130 SW: 173.9 (on 10/23/20)

10/24 - 173.3 - This current Whoosh I’m experiencing feel great!
10/25 - 173.6 - I feel a little bloating in my fingers so I need to drink more water today to flush out the water retention.
10/26 - 173.5 - I’m out of Potassium right now, which as a side effect, also helps manage and reduce water retention. So I’m holding a bit of water until my delivery arrives...

Goals
- Drink fewer than 36 oz of Diet Pepsi a day (you don’t even know where it’s been... I started cutting down this week and am shocked that it’s been as easy as it has been, but I expect speed bumps along the way.)
- Pre-plan breakfast and lunch (and eat the meals I plan)
- Snack only on fruit and veggies

SW: 165.8
CW: Not sure what it is today because my scale was out of batteries when I woke up and I’m surely not weighing later in the day! Last weigh-in was 154.4.
This round goal: 152

10/24 - 154.4
It wasn’t a healthy eating day, but I managed to stay in my calorie goals and avoided snacking! Also, I hit exactly 36 oz of Diet Pepsi today. We will celebrate the little things. I also noticed that others posted a cycle goal so I’ve added that.
10/25 – 153.8
This was a pleasant surprise! Today’s been good so far. I’m staying within calorie goals and pre-planning my meals. I’ve avoided snacking. BUT… I blew the Diet Pepsi goal. I blame my DH who kindly surprised me with a fountain drink when he went to the grocery store today.  Tomorrow’s a new day!
10/26 - 153.8
I’m going to start posting in the mornings now, at least during the week.
