Round 162 (94th for me) . I really need this to help keep me on track, particularly over the next 2 weeks!
@QuiltingJaine- thank you yet again for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – Friday we are off for our main 2 weeks holiday, no flying abroad this year (due to Covid), we shall be taking our touring caravan, so for the major part I will be responsible for both choosing & providing food, so hope to come back at least the same as today, a loss will be a bonus – any loss will be a win! But still aware we shall be on holiday so will be indulging in an occasional treat – note to self “an occasional treat” !! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” 2 months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/9 134.8 – 10 miles walked yesterday. I failed the iron test when I went to give blood; one more point down & I would have been referred to my GP, I feel I do have a balanced diet with sufficient iron (MFP shows that too!), I went on a bit of a chocolate feast when I got home Why ??!! So plans to increase iron in diet now in hand.
9/10 137.2 – why am I so greedy, why do I keep stuffing my face? Why do I let food take over my life? I need to take back control NOW !! If this high avoidable spike is not a wake up call then what is! 8 days to pull this back, I want to do it ! I am going to do it ! Today is a new day, lets go.
9/11 136.2 - as you can see had a better food day, stuck to plan. 9.79 miles walked yesterday, feeling more in control, just need to stay that way!! On our way to the south coast for our holiday, feeling positive!!
9/12 134.2 - back to end of last round weight 👏, good day yesterday, despite travelling to camp site, setting up and erecting awning we still managed to walk almost 7 miles in the late afternoon before our BBQ. Stayed in control.
9/13. 134.2 - just over 12 miles walked yesterday, calories and macros in credit, had a toffee crunch ice cream as a treat - delicious!
9/14. 133.2 - lovely! 9.77 miles walked yesterday, half of the circular walk on the SW coastal path 129 floors. Food well within limits.
9/15. 133.6 - 9 miles walked yesterday. Food very good, feeling in control and happy.
9/16 134 - Hoping that's the sodium in last night's gammon steak, although delicious it did taste salty! 9.65 miles walked yesterday. 43rd wedding anniversary so we intend eating out for lunch in Salcombe, but will walk there and back. Would like to end in the 133s, but it'll be what it'll be!! 2 days to go!

I used to be part of the group before covid and lost quite a bit of weight thanks to you all, but then I badly broke my ankle and spent 8 months in a wheelchair. To date I'm still in physiotherapy and limited in my activities as my leg isn't quite straight anymore.
Between that and the Covid shutdown I've put some weight back on, luckily not all of it but I still need to do that work all over again.
It's lovely to see some of the familiar faces/names from back then and I look forward to reading everyone's progress!
So here we go again;)
Start weight: 164.4 lbs
1st goal weight : 156lbs
2nd goal weight : 150lbs
Final goal weight : 145lbs
9/14 164.4 lbs
9/15 164.4 lbs, I suppose that's not bad, at least it's not going up. It's a big birthday week for us (13 for my daughter today and me Friday - 51) so the weight will go up by the end of the weekend, however I do plan to enjoy every moment of it, the last year has been rough to say the least and I plan to celebrate the end of it
9/16 164.9 lbs (+0.5) slightly up today, not very surprisingly as I was over budget. Yesterday evening, in order to avoid temptations and birthday cake, I had extra tofu and 2 squares of dark chocolate, I'm always surprised by the calories in tofu, it put me at 350cal over, but at least healthy calories. I'm going to be extra carefull today because I have 3 restaurant dinners in a row so Monday will be another story.

My first round, this is perfect for me!
36, 5'4
OSW on 23 Aug 21: 234 lbs
UGW: 125 lbs
Pre-round SW on 8 Sept 21: 232.6 lbs
Round goals: work out at least 20 mins every day, drink 2 litres water daily, fast 16 hours a day
Round GW: 229 lbs so that I can scratch off the 230’s
Day/Weight/Comment:
9/9 – 234 lbs – ate more than I planned to yesterday but stuck to my exercise and water goals. Feeling re-focused!
9/10 – 232.8 lbs – although I didn’t stick to the plan yesterday, I still came in under calorie goal so I'm happy with that. I also met my exercise, water, and fasting goals.
9/11 – 233.6 lbs - No surprise here. Friday is always a weak spot for me and last night was no different, big carb binge! But I didn’t drink any alcohol and that was a win. Also met my water and exercise goals. Gotta try to do better for the rest of the weekend!
9/12 – 232 lbs – Went to bed around 6pm without dinner as I wasn’t feeling well so this is probably not a real loss but happy to see this number all the same. Didn’t work out either and only drank around 1 litre of water.
9/13 – 231.8 lbs – Yesterday could have been better but happy with this number. Didn’t exercise or meet my water goals but it’s the first time in a long time that I have gone the whole weekend without alcohol which is great. Can’t believe we’re already half way through this challenge!
9/14 – 230.4 lbs – Did well yesterday with food, water and exercise. Want to work on not using my exercise calories for the rest of the challenge.
9/15 – 229.8 lbs - Yay, I can scratch off the 230’s!! So happy!! Did well yesterday with food, water and exercise and didn’t give in to my intense craving for brownies haha
9/16 – 229.9 – I had a takeaway last night. Back to healthy eating for the rest of the week!

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Previous days9/9 117.6 Breakfast was Trader Joe’s Paneer Chicken Masala with a cut up apple and peach. Not sure why but it sounded good for breakfast and was a decent amount of protein too. We have to pick my husbands car up tonight which makes planning dinner a little more complicated, so I’m not sure what dinner will be tonight. I kind of just want roasted veggies with some sort of protein.9/15 118.2 Super salty dinner Tuesday night. Didn’t post Wednesday.
9/10 117.6 Went for a 3 mile run this morning. Ended up eating scallion pancakes and some crab Rangoon for dinner last night because my husband wanted Chinese. I originally wasn’t going to get it but then I decided to for whatever reason. I’m back on track today though and plan on using up the week’s csa veggies and produce over the course of the weekend.
9/11 Did not weigh today. Woke up this morning and ended up going for a 7 mile walk/hike with my husband at a nearby conservation area. It was really nice to start the day off that way. Now I have the afternoon/over night to my self in Boston while I dog sit my cousin’s two English bull dogs. I love them to pieces and are one of my favorite types of dogs because they’re like the dog version of a cat in terms of energy 😊. Here’s a picture of them living their best life.
9/12 Did not weigh. Back home after watching the puppies. Dishes and laundry done, now I just have to put the laundry away. Also did a hills based spin bike session for about 20 minutes, I’m a bit tired today because I stayed up a lot later than normal last night and then the puppies gruffed at the bedroom door this morning at 4:30 to come in and cuddle. I let them sleep on the couch because they both snore and didn’t feel like listening to all night. I compromised with half the night lol. They are such cuddle bugs too, so it was nice even if they did wake me up.
I tried crumpets for the first time this weekend and thought of my UK friends here. I thought they were very tasty! I loved the texture of them, different but similar to something I’ve had before but can’t put my finger on what it was. I only put Kerry Gold butter on them for the most part and today I did little bit of butter and raspberry jam.
9/13 117.6 Only went for a short walk today for exercise because I did something to one of my hip muscles, so I am resting it for a couple of days. Food was pretty good today and I think I stayed within a deficit. I tracked but I didn’t weigh the veggies I ate with dinner (roasted beets, kohlrabi, and carrots plus 4 oz of London broil steak). Breakfast was the last crumpet with cheese and two eggs, kashi peanut butter cereal and for a morning snack I had 2 mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups and an apple in the afternoon.
9/14 117.2 It feels good to see a little bit of a drop. Still resting my hip muscle today, so nixing the cardio for one more day and I’ll assess tomorrow. I may try to go for a short lunch walk and maybe do a light upper body work out. Heading to the grocery store today to get some Greek yogurt because we got so much fruit this week with our csa that I’m going to get bored if I only eat plain fruit. We got 2 cantaloupes, a canary melon, 5 apples, 8 peaches, 3 nectarines and 2 pears. I might make an apple crisp this weekend to use up some apples because I know we’ll be getting a lot more apples in the future. Happy Tuesday!
9/16 117.8 Got rid of some of the water retention but not all the way there yet. Will be drinking more dandelion tea and lots of water. Not sure what I have planned for dinner tonight. Maybe roasted chicken thighs with veggies on the side. Still nursing my hip thing for one more day and then I’m going to try a morning run tomorrow. I managed to do a little bit of an upper body work out yesterday which felt good. I was able to do some chin ups, so that was a win because I was afraid I lost them when I didn’t do them while we were living in Foxborough for ~ a year. So, I’ll take that as a non scale victory along with stopping to get my husband food last night and not getting an ice cream for myself. Instead, when I got home, I weighed out some maple kettle corn and had one of my 140 calorie pumpkin muffins I made a week ago for a 300 calorie treat versus over 600 or more from what the ice cream would have been.

Last round I managed to break through a stall in weight loss, I think the walking is really paying off and I feel much more energetic. I will try to keep it up this week but I have some physically hard days coming up with fitting my new kitchen and building a faux brick wall so may be quite exhausted, we'll see...
9/09 - 160.2 STEPS? SLEEP 7hrs23m
Well that's strange, 2lbs up in one day! I've had a very stressful couple of days with teenager drama (cortisol) plus had bread with dinner (carbs) which usually causes water weight for me. Also didn't get much walking done yesterday so that's most likely why. Not sure if I should change my RGW or stick with it and hope for the best.
9/10 - 158.2 STEPS 9,959 SLEEP?
I started off my day with a 3 mile walk first thing and it really gave me a boost of energy, spent the rest of the day buzzing and got loads of stuff done. In the evening we went out to a new bar in town. I ended up at about 2000 cals yesterday so I'm gonna have to be strict this weekend. OH has to go to India today for a family emergency so I'm gonna be on my own for 2 weeks. I can really focus on myself and building some healthy habits.
9/11 - 159.4 STEPS 6,640 SLEEP 6hrs32m
Big ol' carb binge yesterday for no particular reason. Got out for a short walk first thing then drove OH to the airport, got back home and spent the rest of the day snacking. Was I worried? Bored? Self sabotaging? I wasn't hungry and didn't even enjoy it... no idea. Feeling really bloated today so I'm gonna eat lots of salad and try to get a decent walk in. OH missed his connecting flight and is stuck in Delhi for 13hrs, poor thing!
9/12 - 158.0 STEPS? SLEEP?
I fought off carb cravings all day yesterday and came in a little over my cals as I didn't record any exercise but I drank loads of water to flush things through. Probably had too much salt, didn't seem to cause an issue for me, still had a big water weight drop. Getting really behind on my steps, better get a big walk in today
9/13 - 157.2 STEPS 12,163 SLEEP 7hr8m
Nice to see that number 7 again for the first time in 10 days. I'm trying to get more fibre in my diet as I've been feeling bloated, not easy on a lowish carb low cal diet, I have just ordered some psyllium husk tablets, hope they help. I went for a 5 mile evening walk yesterday which ended in tragedy as I came across a beautiful little cat that had just been hit by a car, I held it as it died, poor thing 💔
9/14 - 156.6 STEPS 18,213 SLEEP 7hr28m
Finally feel like I'm starting to get somewhere with my weight loss after a slow period, yay! I've been drinking a lot more water these last few days, which might be key. I left going for my walk until a bit too late yesterday, setting off at 6.30pm, then I got carried away and did a 7 mile walk on a new route, which meant I found myself stumbling through fields and woods in the dark miles from home trying not to freak out, a bit stupid of me really, won't be doing that again! My sleep is slipping so I need to get to bed earlier. Wet and gloomy day here so if I want to get my steps in I may have to brave the gym, yuck!
9/15 - 156.6 STEPS 7,914 SLEEP 6hr6m
Not much to report for yesterday, managed to get a decent walk in but then spent the rest of the day being lazy. I have a big project to start so I'm procrastinating. Got lots of fluids in which is maybe why my sleep suffered as I got up a few times and woke at 5am. Really glad to still be at this weight today, 3 more days to lose 0.1lb to get to goal!
9/16 - 156.6 STEPS 11,018 SLEEP 6hr52m
Tried out a new 5 mile walking route yesterday morning, all on hard surfaces which is better for the wetter seasons we have ahead and also better for trying to improve my speed and stamina. Found that by swinging my arms more I'm able to propel myself forward faster and don't have to slow much for hills. Battling boredom eating because I've been home alone for the last week and will be for another week, glad I've got my cats for company! Sleep still not great but I don't feel tired so not too worried. Same weight for the last 3 days, what will tomorrow bring?

Round 162 (94th for me) . I really need this to help keep me on track, particularly over the next 2 weeks!
@QuiltingJaine- thank you yet again for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – Friday we are off for our main 2 weeks holiday, no flying abroad this year (due to Covid), we shall be taking our touring caravan, so for the major part I will be responsible for both choosing & providing food, so hope to come back at least the same as today, a loss will be a bonus – any loss will be a win! But still aware we shall be on holiday so will be indulging in an occasional treat – note to self “an occasional treat” !! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” 2 months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/9 134.8 – 10 miles walked yesterday. I failed the iron test when I went to give blood; one more point down & I would have been referred to my GP, I feel I do have a balanced diet with sufficient iron (MFP shows that too!), I went on a bit of a chocolate feast when I got home Why ??!! So plans to increase iron in diet now in hand.
9/10 137.2 – why am I so greedy, why do I keep stuffing my face? Why do I let food take over my life? I need to take back control NOW !! If this high avoidable spike is not a wake up call then what is! 8 days to pull this back, I want to do it ! I am going to do it ! Today is a new day, lets go.
9/11 136.2 - as you can see had a better food day, stuck to plan. 9.79 miles walked yesterday, feeling more in control, just need to stay that way!! On our way to the south coast for our holiday, feeling positive!!
9/12 134.2 - back to end of last round weight 👏, good day yesterday, despite travelling to camp site, setting up and erecting awning we still managed to walk almost 7 miles in the late afternoon before our BBQ. Stayed in control.
9/13. 134.2 - just over 12 miles walked yesterday, calories and macros in credit, had a toffee crunch ice cream as a treat - delicious!
9/14. 133.2 - lovely! 9.77 miles walked yesterday, half of the circular walk on the SW coastal path 129 floors. Food well within limits.
9/15. 133.6 - 9 miles walked yesterday. Food very good, feeling in control and happy.
9/16 134 - Hoping that's the sodium in last night's gammon steak, although delicious it did taste salty! 9.65 miles walked yesterday. 43rd wedding anniversary so we intend eating out for lunch in Salcombe, but will walk there and back. Would like to end in the 133s, but it'll be what it'll be!! 2 days to go!

Happy Anniversary! That's an amazing milestone, cheers to you two! Enjoy your lunch in Salcombe

Maintenance: 140-145 (December 2018)
My 123rd Round!
Still trying to get back down to maintenance. It's really surprising how the extra 3 to 4 pounds I've been carrying the past few months has changed how my clothes fit and how I feel. I've had just enough stress to snack too much and not be mindful of getting back to maintenance. Things are looking up for my family health wise, so it's now time to focus back on my health.
Being overweight is hard.
Maintaining a healthy weight is hard.
Choose your hard.
After losing 12 lbs. I was stuck at 174lbs. for a couple weeks until I found this challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/09 - 147 - Calories were good and took a long walk with the dog and husband.
9/10 - 147 - I'm holding myself accountable to track all my food this weekend.
9/11 - 147.5 - Just a bounce, but my supper tonight will probably show up tomorrow. Plenty of carbs and salt.
9/12 - 146.5 - Okay, so last night's supper will probably show up tomorrow. But it's nice to see this number today.
9/13 - 146 - My husband started his 3 mile run yesterday morning and had a bad calf strain after a mile and had to come limping home. He wanted to take the dog on a mile walk in the park with me in the afternoon, so halfway through that walk I was distracted by an ambulance stopping at a neighbor's house and managed to step in a hole. I heard my ankle crunch as I went down. Luckily, no breaks but we looked like the walking wounded taking the dog back home. I'll have to reduce my eating to compensate for the lack of steps this week.
9/14 - 146 - My ankle was pretty sore yesterday, so I didn't even manage 4,000 steps, but it already feels better this morning, so I'm hoping to get more movement in today.
9/15 - 145 - Although I expect a bounce tomorrow, I am so happy because I've not seen this weight for 3 months. Weighing and logging all my food is key for me to stay on track.
9/16 - 146 - Although I was a little disappointed, I was expecting to be up a little this morning. It's OK, my trend weight is lower than it has been for a while. I need to stay focused on moving and my eating.

9/16 - 146.5 - It was 146.3 or .4 the first time I weighed with limited clothes but, unfortunately, my app didn't sync and I had to reweigh after I drank some water and had workout clothes on. Close enough. Putting the second weight since it'll align better with my app. Tracked calories yesterday and tried to overestimate but likely didn't do a good enough job. Definitely know sodium got me. Drank about 105oz water, though. Not sure dinner but Fam brought leftovers to us so I'll munch on that for lunch today, and if any left, tomorrow. BF been walking to help lose weight so I guess that should be motivation to kick myself in gear (I know he can likely lose more at a much faster rate and so I need to be razor sharp in my goals to get the scale moving again with this plateau. I hit a months long plateau at 55lbs, I'm hitting one now it seems. I'll break through eventually and be on my merry little way so long as I don't give up). Off for a run here in a bit. Hoping for 2 miles today.

Previous Day's Comments9/09 - Wowza, did not see that coming. But yesterday was a light day on food, didn't munch on too awful much through the day. Bagel for breakfast, leftover garlic parmesan baked chicken for lunch, and beef stew for dinner. 90oz water. Have some leftover beef stew for lunch today. FamWife is having an event tonight so likely eating out to go support her. Will try to keep things in check there. Went for a run this morning. Fitbit Premium has their trial at 90 days so I signed up for it and did a little core/glute and stretching workout video from that. Excited to see how it goes and if it'll be worth keeping after the trial ends in December.
9/10 - Expected with eating out. Not many "healthy" options but I chose the healthiest one that I knew I'd eat (I HATE chicken salad and that's about the only other thing on there decently balanced). It was still a tad greasy, hence the pop up in weight. Plus the 2 beers I had. But managed 90oz water despite all that. Was supposed to go on a coffee date today with the girls but work blew up for all of us. Instead, I made myself a breakfast sandwich and a homemade hazelnut vanilla latte with extra shot of espresso. Cafe vibes from home! Fitbit premium is kicking my butt. Literally. Have a Glute&Core series (3x/week, 3 weeks long) I did day 1 yesterday. Seemed like I wouldn't get much out of it. But HOLY MOLY this morning was my booty sore. Did another this morning along with a 1 mile run, though. Unsure dinner but lunch will be the last of the leftover beef stew. Pretty excited about that. Need to dig in to what else the premium offers, like nutrition and mindfulness.

9/13 - Not bad for the weekend I had. Unfortunately had to be out of town Friday night so didn't have a scale and was eating out. Yesterday we went out to the land early and it was quick moving, not enough time to weigh in and be out the door in time. Despite being a fairly lazy day yesterday with finger foods and football, I did not get enough water in at all. I'll be focusing on that today for sure. Need to figure out food this week still, too. Shockingly a tad bit sore from the Fitbit workouts, will try for one of those later once I get some water in and feel a bit better (got that good ol' dehydration headache). Also need to take pup for a walk before the rain hits from that tropical storm in the gulf. **I won't be hit directly based on forecast, but I will get residual. Will be preparing for potential slight flooding in the area.
9/14 - I'm happy with this. Figured the weekend bloat wouldn't disappear in just one day. Went for a run already this morning. BF took pup for a walk so I could run at my own pace. Upped it to 1.5 miles and upped my pace by about 30sec/mile. Not much difference, but it's more progress than I expected. Drank 90oz water yesterday which I'm sure helped a ton. Already working on water for today. Not sure lunch for today yet, but dinner will be homemade street tacos. Cleaned out deep freezer and trying to eliminate daily grocery trips -- hoping to buy a house before our lease is up on this rental next year so paying off last of the debt and upping savings, any little extra money helps!
9/15 - Making progress here. Back to starting weight for the round. Went for a run this morning but it was interrupted by 3 things - my Fitbit died (I use that to track mileage and keep myself going if I haven't reached at least 1 mile), my headphones with my podcast that keeps me distracted from my lungs screaming, and then half mile in, TMI attacked. So I really did 2 runs, each 1/2 mile today with a break between to take care of my issues. Sigh. At least it's something. Better than nothing at all. My 10k is Sunday for Guiness World Record attempt so need to get mileage up, even if I walk some. Next 5k race is October 31st so I can build up to running in that time so long as I get the mileage down with alternating walk/run.

Thank you !! I've been catching up on the reading, it's good to see you're doing well and have progressed with the weight loss! I've got some catching up to do
You'll get there quick, I'm sure! You were always right there with me and you'll be back to it in no time! You have no idea how excited I am, I was thinking about you a few weeks ago wondering where you went. It's like Christmas came early having you back 4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/09 - 238.1 Not too surprised by a slight increase with my food intake yesterday. Working 12 hour days and still getting a T25 workout and walking the dogs in the evening. Now that MFP says I'm 51% to my goal I'm more motivated than ever. Only 49% to go!
09/10 - 238.5 Again, not overly surprised. Chinese for lunch and then a hearty dinner followed by no trips to the bathroom... Anyway got a great ab workout in this morning and plan on a nice walk tonight headed into the weekend! Here's to a drop come Monday.
09/11 - 239.6
09/12 - 239.2
09/13 - 237.9 Finally got back down but still not down to the end of the last round and the round goal is far away. I'm in the last week of T25 Alpha round so I have 3 rounds of the hardest workout this week so hopefully that helps. I also bought shoes for our Peloton bike so I can get some extra workouts in. Just have to remember I'm doing everything right and the numbers will come when they're ready.
09/14 - 237.7 It's starting to feel like this will be a flat round with only 4 days to go and that's okay! Some rounds have big losses and some rounds smaller. I'm just learning to take these flat days/weeks as mental health time to reflect on being in a better place than I was 4.5 months ago. Only had T25 abs this morning so if I don't get up and moving at work today I may hop on the Peloton and get that extra burn.
09/15 - 236.8 My first day down in weight this round! Definitely got some help from my second round of T25 Total Body. No matter how many times I do that workout, it'll knock me out. Burned 400 calories in 25 minutes and feeling great. Today is my last long day at work for a few weeks so the rest of the week I can get Peloton rides AND T25 in hopefully. I have a 5:30am Peloton ride scheduled for Saturday and I'm pretty psyched.
09/16 - 236.1 My scale wanted to say 235.9. It was teetering between the two numbers and I tried to coax it downwards but no luck. Still have a slight possibility of 235 but I'm fine either way, I'm ahead of the pace I need to be 100 lbs down by Christmas. Tomorrow is my last day of T25 Alpha. I've never completed all 5 weeks so this feels weird. Nervous to start the Beta round but if I'm not pushing myself, I'm not getting better.

The “new puppy diet” seems to be working. Actually what’s working is the photo of me & DH with the puppy when he arrived. I’m so fat! I seem to have stopped evening snacking cold turkey. A bit of “fizzy water” fools me into thinking I’ve had something.

I love it when weight and running average converge. Enjoy your Saturday!

I took Rory for his first tracking session yesterday and he did great. Tracking (following human scent trails) is great exercise for both of us — right now he’s doing very short tracks, of course, but soon the tracks will be longer. I train with a friend, so in addition to walking behind Rory when he’s tracking, I walk tracks for my friend’s dog to follow. We’d do tracks two or three times a week. That plus lots of puppy walks and obedience training will get my butt in gear! Am I blathering about my puppy? Yes, yes I am! 😁
9/13 - 184.2 (184.6) - 1140
Funnily enough, after a week of no snacks at night (or any time), I’m no longer hungry at night. Yay! Now if I can keep it up….
9/14 - 184.4 (184.3) - 1248
I take that back. I was hungry last night and indulged in some chocolate fudge ice cream. But that will do me for a while, and I’m skipping breakfast this morning — not particularly hungry. 😁

36YO F on my second round! I once tipped the scales at 395. I’ve done a lot of hard work with IF to get to where I am now, and came to MFP to finally see my goal come to fruition. These 10 day challenges are great. I can do anything for 10 days!
SW: 223.4
UGW: 150lbs
Challenge goals: lose as many lbs as I can! Stay under 100g net carbs. Get my exercise in!
9/9 223.4- Ended the day yesterday with 80g net carbs, plenty of water, and got my strength training in. I’m a bit upset this morning as I’m UP by 1.8lbs from yesterday, despite staying pretty perfectly on plan. I have no explanation aside from some still lingering PMS effects?! It’s been 9 days of this now though, and I’m tired of it. Blah. Still, I rise.
9/10 223.4- No loss, but no gain either. Got a Peloton ride in last night. 63g net carbs. Everything done just as it should be. Eventually the scale will catch up.
9/11 Camping 🏕 DNW had a successful day yesterday. Got my strength training session in before lunch yesterday, which means I did not make excuses to skip it like I did last time we left on a Friday to go camping! I didn’t get all of my steps in for the day, but I did manage to finish the day with 69g net carbs, even with some rice at dinner. Overall, I’m feeling good, and it’s nice to have a small break from the scale too.
9/12 Camping 🏕 DNW Had another great day. I made a plan for this weekend, and I stuck to it. There really is value in preplanning my meals, especially in cases such as a weekend away camping. I’ll definitely be doing it for every camping trip here on out. Net carbs were 63g for the day, and we got some walking in so I hit my step goal. I feel way less bloated today, so I’m positive tomorrow the scale will show some downward movement for a change!
9/13 221.0 Woohoo! The bloat is mostly gone! Time to make some big progress before it strikes again! Yesterday was a great day- 64 net carbs and got my steps in. Bring on the week! I’m ready!
9/14 219.2 FINALLY! I’ve been waiting to see 219 for two weeks!! Had a great day yesterday, obviously. Did both a strength training session and a 35 minute Peloton ride, and finished yesterday with 53 net carbs. Next mini goal: 210!
9/15 218.0 Yay! It feels so good to be past that hormonal stall. Had a great day yesterday- Pelo ride done, 51 net carbs, lots of water, and hit my step goal. Today is pizza day for dinner, so I’m already planning out my food to make sure I keep under 100 net carbs without missing out on the pizza, and it’s looking good. Bring on this day!
9/16 219.0 I know the uptick is due to two factors: 1- I ate more carbs yesterday (81 net) than I’ve been lately. The pizza was totally worth it though. And 2- I was on my feet almost the entire day, working in the kitchen. Historically, doing so has always led to some swelling in my calves and ankles. That it was only a single pound this time is a win in and of itself. It’s usually 2-5lbs! I did get my strength training in, and I also decided to increase my daily step goal by 1,000. I hit that too. Overall it was a successful day, even if the scale can’t see it! On to today, and less carbs!
