Grandkiddos are visiting today for a long weekend and I’m on the moon. Baking some treats will be one activity - will try to limit those for me. Lots of hiking is planned though. My challenge is the freakin’ weekend. I’m always being much better with the workweek structure with a packed lunch rather than the free wheeling weekend and this is a long one.
Best of success everyone!

9/29 207 Wow, I half expect that drop is due to dehydration, but will take it! Went sailing for the first time with my brother in his Hobie Cat yesterday-so I didn't do much of the work. And I wasn't guzzling water all day, but lost weight? Maybe I should go sailing more often!

9/30 206.4 Nice long walk in a local park yesterday

10/1 205.4 More sailing yesterday, more weight gone. Maybe it's that I'm away from the fridge. I'm at the same weight I was at the end of June, so reality check. 205.2 -214 range over the summer. At least I'm down from 230 in April, and that 278 several years ago! Trying these weight loss challenges have kept my focus on eating healthy foods in limited portions. So keeping it up. Thanks for participating you all.

@_JeffreyD_Yep, agree regarding fb & Instagram...MFP is a far better platform. Reddit's loseit is also good

10/2 207.4

10/3 206.4 Such a relief to be out of that 209-211 plateau from last month! I must admit, it was getting old to start several challenges and have the same results week after week. challenge after challenge. I'm planning on these 200 + single digits to stay around a while! I do not want to go back to the 200 +teens! My new mini goal is to become "overweight." 202 for my height is the top of the BMI chart for my height and I can say, "Adios" to obesity! The end of October is realistic; sooner would be cool. Speaking of cool, is anybody else cold now that we weigh less?

10/4
10/5 206.2 Maintaining a loss feels great! I'll prep food for my trip to the big city, including lots of soft foods for the post root canal recovery time. Not fond of dental procedures--such is life

10/6 206.2 Root canal retreat day-yikes!

10/7 205.4 Ouch, dull pain, but happy to be in the 205 range
10/8 201.6 wowza- a whoosh brought me to Overweighland!!!Happy dance

Day/Weight/Comment

9/29 - 231.0 Just one of those days that you want to climb back into bed. Yesterday was brutal between our office ordering Cheesecake Factory for lunch and then snacking because I was still hungry, combined with not working out enough... Then this morning I thought I had a good workout until I saw I actually did worse than the last time I did that ride. Weighed in 2 lbs higher than yesterday. Forgot my coffee at home. Fast forward to tomorrow please.
9/30 - 229.5 I'll take it. Still higher than the start of the round, but that's just how weight fluctuates. Set a 20 minute personal record on the Peloton this morning so pretty excited for that. Today I'll also close all 3 rings on my Apple Watch to complete a full month of closing all 3 rings! Honestly I don't know if I want to break this streak because I just enjoy pushing myself harder. We'll see if I take a day off...
10/1 - 233.0 I don't understand the number, I just type the number in. I didn't work out this morning but... I also don't think I even consumed 3.5 lbs of things yesterday. So... okay? Hopefully this weekend and next week are better than this week.
10/2 - 232.4
10/3 - 228.6
10/4 - 228.6 Staying mostly flat in this past week (bump aside) so not entirely sure what's going on but this is how things work. Not going to have steady declines the entire time. All I know is I've been working hard on the Peloton and eating right and everything else will fall into place. The Apple Watch October challenge for me is to close all 3 rings 27 days. In my mind, there's no reason to take off 4 random days so I guess I'm going for another full month of closing these rings. Got a light 425 calorie ride in this morning because I slept in... oops!
10/5 - 229.7 This is apparently one of those rounds where you do everything right and your body just doesn't cooperate. I'd expect a large drop one of these days soon. Just want to be below 224 in 21 days. Come on body!
10/6 - 229.5 It just doesn't matter what I do at this point, this is hanging on for dear life. Work out? 229. Don't work out? 229. Bathroom before? 229. No bathroom? 229. I'm trying to take a day off of any working out just to try to get some result tomorrow. This is a brutal round.
10/7 - 227.5 Well this is a little better at least. Likely not going to hit the round goal but I'll settle for getting close if I have to! My wife says it looks like I've lost more so that's what matters I guess lol. Set Personal Records for 20 minute and 30 minute rides on the Peloton within the last 14 hours, so I'm really happy with that!
10/8 - 229.9 Well... this is the first round where my weight is higher at the end than the beginning. I've done nothing different. I've maybe worked out harder than ever. Whatever. On to the next one.

Nicoles0305 · October 2021

Heck yeah I’m in!

Fourth round for me! I can do anything for 10 days!

Goals- Lose as much weight as I can! Keep to 80 net carbs/day; Pelo 2-3x/week; strength training 2-3x/week; 11,500 steps/day

MFP SW: 237.6
Round 164 SW: 211.8

9/29: 212.0 Had a great day yesterday- hit my steps, got a Pelo ride in, and finished the day at 52 net carbs. So all things considered, this tiny uptick this morning is not unexpected because it’s absolutely the monthly hormonal shift. One foot in front of the other! It’ll pass soon.
9/30: 211.8 Had a great day yesterday, especially considering I was unsure of what dinner would look like. Wound up having a salad! Finished the day with 46 net carbs, a strength training session done, and step goal achieved. On to today!
10/1: 212.4 Had a weird day yesterday. I was busy all day, literally from the time I got up to the time I went to bed, I was going nonstop. That led to undereating slightly, less water than usual, and not hitting my step goal. It is what it is though. Still stayed within my carb goal- 66 for the day. Today will be less busy and I’ve got half my food already planned out. Going camping this weekend, and I’ve learned my best method when camping is to preplan my meals, so I’m sure I’ll be fine with food. For now, I’ll continue riding out this hormonal weight shift.
10/2: 🏕 DNW Had a good day yesterday. Hit my steps, got plenty of water, stuck to my plan for my first camping meal of the weekend, and finished the day with 54 net carbs. I have today’s food all mapped out already to avoid any overeating, and plenty of walking in the forecast too.
10/3: 🏕 DNW Preplanning my food for our weekend camping trips makes things so easy. I might start doing this every other day too. I had a great day yesterday. 44 net carbs, step goal hit, and plenty of water. Tomorrow I should see the reward for sticking to my plan this weekend, even when I was soo tempted to make myself a s’mores while I was making them for the kids last night!
10/4: 212.4 Had a great day yesterday. Finished the day with 36 net carbs, hit my step goal, and plenty of water. Unfortunately, hormones are still masking any scale progress. Hopefully I’ll drop before the end of this challenge. I did take my monthly measurements today and have dropped a total of 15.5” over the past month, so there’s that at least!
10/5: 212.4 So it seems this round is a stagnant round. I know it’s merely hormones though, so it’s all good. I had another great day yesterday- 68 net carbs, strength training done, and step goal achieved. On to today!
10/6: 211.6 Woohoo! And we’re moving again! Had a great day yesterday- 36 net carbs, a Pelo ride, and even (just barely) hit my step goal. I decided to check my records and compare my monthly stalls. In the 8 years I’ve been working on weight loss, I’ve never stopped to check how long the stall actually lasts. Now though, I know! 9-10 days. So now I know how long to expect the stall to last, and how much of the rest of the month I don’t have it to deal with. I’m going to put this new info to great use! Now to make these last few days of this challenge count!
10/7: 212.2 To be honest, I was a little disappointed to see the number up this morning. Maybe I called the stall being over too soon. Either way, it was a successful Fay yesterday- 52 net carbs and hit my step goal. I postponed strength training till today because of being busy yesterday, but I will be getting it in today!
10/8: 211.6 Another great day yesterday. 38 net carbs, step goal achieved, Pelo ride done, and strength workout done too! This was a pretty stagnant round, but it happens-about once a month! Lol at least I know this next round should result in some downward movement again. Let’s do it!

Total round loss: -0.2lbs

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Good start to the round. All of the residue of the Chinese Buffet on Sunday has left the building. Yesterday I even had a Brisket sandwich with fries for lunch and pesto spaghetti (reasonable portion) for supper. My spinning class wiped it away. HA!

I am “working” toward the day when today’s weight is on the upper end, after the Chinese Buffett.

9/30: 208.2
I have NO idea what just happened here. Possibly mis-logging the bowl of Pho I had yesterday? It would have to be sodium and TMI.

10/1: 206.8
The fact that it is October already blows my mind. This is a dangerous snacky comfort food time period for me every year.

That is why this group is important to me. MFP is the only “social media” I can really stand. It is encouraging and brutally honest.

I hate Facebook and its evil spawn Instagram. I have accounts to remain in contact with friends and family regarding events and such, but I must wade through so much posing and virtue signaling about every imaginable divisive topic! All this while FB profits off my personal information. (my own fault) I am about to cut the cord. Apology for the rant!

Glad we can stay on topic here (like I just didn’t) and encourage each other about our common goals. 😊

I have not posted here since the 1st. As you can see, I did not have a very disciplined weekend. “This behavior is doing wonders for my rolling ten-day average” he said with sarcasm.

10/6: 206.0
Too busy to really eat. Ha! I got called to a meeting that preempted by Spinning class last night. Bummer, because my gym is still pretty sparse with their options.

So, I have lost 3.2 pounds in two days. We all know that is mostly water and what-not. But that is a LOT of weight. When I think about strapping a 3 pound bag of beans (or whatever) to my belt and having to drag that around, it makes me happy for all of us here. We are doing something good for us. (hearts, hips, knees and feet.) Every little bit helps.

10/7: 206
Another day of generally keeping it under control, but no exercise to speak of. This round is coming to a close. I am afraid I squandered it on this past weekend.

10/8: 206.2
Goals not met. Hooked it out of bounds. No choice but to take my stroke and distance penalty and tee up another one. See you next round.

9/29 207 Wow, I half expect that drop is due to dehydration, but will take it! Went sailing for the first time with my brother in his Hobie Cat yesterday-so I didn't do much of the work. And I wasn't guzzling water all day, but lost weight? Maybe I should go sailing more often!

9/30 206.4 Nice long walk in a local park yesterday

10/1 205.4 More sailing yesterday, more weight gone. Maybe it's that I'm away from the fridge. I'm at the same weight I was at the end of June, so reality check. 205.2 -214 range over the summer. At least I'm down from 230 in April, and that 278 several years ago! Trying these weight loss challenges have kept my focus on eating healthy foods in limited portions. So keeping it up. Thanks for participating you all.

10/2 207.4

10/3 206.4 Such a relief to be out of that 209-211 plateau from last month! I must admit, it was getting old to start several challenges and have the same results week after week. challenge after challenge. I'm planning on these 200 + single digits to stay around a while! I do not want to go back to the 200 +teens! My new mini goal is to become "overweight." 202 for my height is the top of the BMI chart for my height and I can say, "Adios" to obesity! The end of October is realistic; sooner would be cool. Speaking of cool, is anybody else cold now that we weigh less?

10/4
10/5 206.2 Maintaining a loss feels great! I'll prep food for my trip to the big city, including lots of soft foods for the post root canal recovery time. Not fond of dental procedures--such is life

10/6 206.2 Root canal retreat day-yikes!

10/7 205.4 Ouch, dull pain, but happy to be in the 205 range

10/8 206.4 Correction from earlier this morning. I thought the scale read 201.6. I thought "How's that possible? Maybe a whoosh?" I was misreading the scale - It must have been 207.6, because after using the bathroom this morning, I'm 206.4. Mercury's gone retrograde! Still need to get to 202 to be 'overweight' my fall goal. Happy dance delay. That celebration was premature....oh well, on to healthy eating in small/reasonable proportions!

Previous Day's Comments

9/29 - Not bad for an early weigh in. Don't expect it to stay so low, yesterday was a super low calorie day. I was banking calories from early in the day for our pizza night (we hadn't been to this place in months, since before the kid's summer break). But we ate late enough I decided only to have a couple slices so I didn't give myself heartburn going to bed so early for today's 330 wakeup. According to Fitbit, I was under my 500 cal deficit by 427 cals, wowza. I have myself some scrambled eggs with spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and a couple mandarin oranges for lunch and a protein shake as a snack if I need it to hold me over for dinner. Unsure of dinner yet. Focusing on water for today.
9/30 - Another low-calorie day being at work. I ended up not being very hungry at all after lunch so much so I skipped my protein shake afternoon snack (win!). Dinner of spaghetti also filled me up on a much smaller portion. I have leftovers of yesterday's lunch though I may substitute something else for the eggs today, just not sure what yet. I have some sausage I'm going to make up with bell peppers I could use, I think. Finished 90 oz water, fasted until noon giving me abouuuuut 17 hours (I didn't pay attention to exactly when I finished dinner Tuesday night or last night so approximate times will have to work). Aiming for a minimum of 16 hour fasting, though will be a tad more challenging with a workout and being home near the kitchen.
10/1 - Not bad for being over calories, I'll very much take it! Especially since I thought I'd be seeing 146.x today. It may catch up to me in the next few days (Oktoberfest here in my little German town is this weekend. I've never been to an Oktoberfest before so I'm sure I'll splurge a tad). Just got back from getting coffee with FamWife on this dreary rainy morning. Did a 20 minute yoga session prior to coffee. Need to get in 10 more minutes of a workout today to hit my daily 30 minutes of activity goal. Tad behind on water, but nothing I can't catch up on with some focus. Have some leftover roasted sweet potato chunks to eat up which is what has been filling me up amazingly during my 2 super-low cal days (by low cal I mean between 1200-1300 compared to my normal 1500-1650 range I hang out in). I'll be filling up on that for lunch with protein of some sort. Not sure what yet, thankfully I've got time and that (splurge) chai latte filled me right on up for the morning. Needed a little warm something for this dreary day as a pick-me-up and chai or apple cider are my preferred fall flavors (all year round, too). Debating between Oktoberfest this evening or tomorrow (supposed to rain again tonight and all day tomorrow so it's a play it by "ear" (weather). Either way, that leaves dinner up in the air so need to behave the remainder of the day and bank some calories just in case.
10/2 - DNP
10/3 - DNP
10/4 - No hugs, it's expected. Oktoberfest was a blast, dinner was heavy and salty. We were up and moving fast early yesterday so I didn't get a chance to weigh in. Saturday I weighed but didn't have an opportunity to post. I'm commuting to work so up early. Have a pretty healthy lunch packed up with a protein shake for a snack if needed. Managed to get my water goals Saturday and Sunday so hoping to continue to the streak today. Honestly, between the walking and making sure I hit water is why I didn't hit the 150s again, thankfully. Quite happy with where I am. I have until Thursday to get back down. My birthday is Saturday (day 1 of next round) but I won't be back to weigh until Sunday. I'd love to be back to 144.x by then, but we shall see how this week goes. Will be doing my best to behave well.
10/5 - Coming back down, thankfully (: I was really pushing water to get back down quickly. Hopefully being home today won't be an issue with the kitchen right next to me hehe Starting next week I am commuting to work for 3 weeks and I'll have to figure out water and workout. The upside is that it will keep me from mindless snacking since I won't have access to anything but what I pack for lunch! BF was kind enough to offer cooking extra for dinner so I can have leftovers to take for lunch starting next week. Whew, one less thing to worry about. Dedicated workouts will have to be prioritized on my days off (hopefully I can manage that since I have a 5k on the 30th I need to train for!) Pushing more water today. Not sure what lunch or dinner will be. I have frozen steam bags of veggies to choose from and will just need to find a protein to go with it for lunch. I have a yoga session planned for a little later this morning and will try to take the pup on a walk today as well. Two more days to lose this Oktoberfest celebration weight....I can do it!
10/6 - Another drop of the Oktoberfest weight. I'm quite happy with that. I'm not super confident I'll hit 144.x by my birthday (Saturday) but I'll be happy if I can see 145.x tomorrow. Even better if it's lower 145.x, especially since I'll be without a scale for Friday and Saturday. I cannot promise I'll have the opportunity to post tomorrow, but I will do my best to hop on for that. Water has been fantastic, above 90oz for the last 3 days. Ended up fasting until noon on Monday and yesterday so hoping to continue that again today (both resulted in longer than 16 hours fasting, but I don't know how much longer). No ideas for lunch and dinner again, but have some options. Will take pup for a nice walk later once it gets light enough outside to see.
10/7 - I'm shocked I'm down at all, even 0.1lbs. Due to the craziness, we ended up making one of the frozen pizzas we keep on hand for dinner. I keep it around for times like last night, thankfully. BF was going to get up with me, but just told me he's sleeping in until 830 before he heads out which gives me time to feel "normal" this morning. No walking the pup today -- found out last night (after I walked the pup) there have been 2 pretty nasty crimes in my town. Town is tiny, only a mile and a half across it so anything "across town" is still really close to home. One was a potentially armed robbery while the guy was out walking his dog. In broad daylight. The other was a high speed chase fugitive who ended up on foot in my neighborhood. The last known sighting was my neighborhood until he was spotted and apprehended not too far from here several hours later. He was known to be armed and dangerous. With me being alone and next week being out of the house for 13-14 hours at a time, I'm going to be playing it extra cautious. Sorry pup, walks are out of the question with BF gone. I have my fitbit workouts and our rowing machine in the house to workout on if need be.

MFP -Round #2
(164)

I’m 62 years old, 5’4” tall and my weight goal is to lose 30 pounds by my birthday on June 6, 2022

Goals for round #2:
1- drink more water
2- spend less time on social media and more time on my MFP
3- get up every day at 6AM

Round one: lost 2.2 lbs

09/29 -184.0 was a bit over with eating. Did a strength training class. I increased my cycling time this week and I usually gain a few pounds. So far my weight is steady. But yesterday I wasn’t organized with food… hmmm…. I’ll try to go back on track tomorrow.
09/30 - 184.2 and another 40K on the bike! Ended riding 400K in September. I’m happy about that and that is encouraging me to aim for 450K in October. But need to rest. I was pretty tired and aching during yesterday’s ride
10/01 - 183.8 today I biked 32K and got lost on one of the mtb trails. And it was fun.
10/02 - 185

this was kind of expected. The day before I had a big pasta dish for dinner. First I though I would eat half but I was so hungry! Another 36K on my bike😀
10/03 - 182.4 nice! But don’t like Sundays… :(still stayed almost on track with food.
10/04 - 183 cycle 51K. Not bad. Food was good. After doing a long ride it’s hard not to start eating without control
10/05 - 182.4 yesterday was a 26K ride. The wind was strong with 51K gusts. So the whole ride was slower. But a lot of effort. Was nice.
10/06 - 183.4 well, yesterday was an emotionally down day. But I accomplished a few things. Went out to a park and practiced one hour balancing on the slack line, and attended a strength training class in the evening. Food was almost under control
10/07 - 181.8 did an interval workout. I’m happy about that. But then when I came home I was so hungry… ended the day eating chocolate 😀
10/08 - 182.2

Age: 62 5’6” 
SW: 261 (6/3/21)
 CW: 223.4 (09/28/21) 
UGW: 175
End of 10 day challenge goal: 223

Drink a minimum of 64 oz water a day 
Swim, Circuit, Hike (5x week minimum)
 Seven days of maintenance to begin this challenge

Challenge 156: 245.4 (-1.8) - Challenge 157: 242 (-3.4) - Challenge 158: 240 (-2.0) - Challenge 159: 237 (-3.0) - Challenge 160: 235.6 (-1.4) - Challenge 161: 229.6 (-6.0) - Challenge 162: 227.6 (-2.0) Challenge 163 223.4 (-4.2)

9/29 223.6 (+.2) Today is my first day of maintenance. I’m taking seven days “off” and allowing my body to adjust to where I am before starting on the next phase. I’m going from 1250 calories a day to 1740. It feels strange and uncomfortable already and this is just breakfast. No planned formal exercise today. The art show is going great so far, which is really exciting.
9/30 223.8 (+.4) My art show sold out! I’m thrilled. It was a crazy busy day as you can imagine. I ate dinner late and didn’t get in all my water, so I’m not surprised at a slight bump on the scale. It was my first day in maintenance mode. It was nice to add a little parmesan cheese to my salad and have a slice of toast with peanut butter. Tish asked me if I was going to eat up to my maintenance calorie level or just eat more when I specifically wanted it. My response was the first, to eat up to my maintenance level. As I was eating yesterday, I better understood what she was asking. I did measure and log and had 200 calories left at the end of the day. My answer after one day in is…I will eat until I’m not hungry and keep it below my calorie goals. After limiting my calories, it’s not surprising that I get full even when I have calories left. It was a strange, but good first day.
10/1 222.8 (-.6) Yesterday was one of my busiest days in a long time, so I didn’t eat up to maintenance level. I never thought I’d find it difficult to eat more. Things will slow down for awhile now and I can get back to exercise, drinking my water and eating according to plan. I think I need a nap.

10/2 223.6 (+.2) I got my swimming in yesterday and have Orange Theory Fitness on the schedule today. I did eat up to my maintenance calorie level and half of my exercise calories. In that mix, I actually had a bottled margarita, my first alcohol since I started this journey. I’m not stressing at all over the bump. It will be interesting to see how my body responds to this week’s change in calorie levels.
10/3 223.4 (0) My lunch yesterday was late and about 5pm I thought I should prep dinner so I’d finish eating by 6pm. But…I wasn’t the least bit hungry. So, no dinner for me. I ate just under 1300 calories. With exercise, I had 850 calories remaining. Today is a walk with the dogs and I’m planning to do a better job eating all my meals and drinking all my water. Just a few days left in maintenance mode.
10/4 223.6 (+.2) I’m staying in a good range. There are some days I was lower in calories than my maintenance level and I have to admit, I was hoping still to lose a little. Tomorrow is my last day in maintenance mode and then it’s back full force into deficit mode. I can’t wait to get back to losing!!
10/5 222.8 (-.6) The last maintenance level day. I was really nervous about starting this, but I’m so glad I did. It has only been one week, which probably isn’t quite enough, but it’s a good way to practice. I’ll report in tomorrow about what I’ve learned so far. Heading for the swimming pool this morning and will be prepping meals for getting back on the weight loss track tomorrow.
10/6 223.2 (-.2) Today, I’m back on the deficit plan that is going to take me even further on my journey to health. What did I learn from a week of maintenance? 1. The number of calories I to eat each day is going to be up and down and I just need to keep it on track overall. 2. It’s easy to get busy and not focus specifically on my meals and snacks. It’s going to take remaining aware of what I’m eating so I can do this long term. 3. I can do this. (Which is the best part.) I know it was only seven days. I think I’ll plan a longer maintenance break the next time just to test things out while I’m still on a losing journey. I’m planning do that in about sixteen weeks. I’ll be curious over the next few days how my body reacts to being back on plan. I did have an indulgence meal yesterday that fit within my maintenance and exercise calories.
10/7 221.8 (-1.6) Surprised at this drop and did a bit of a happy dance this morning. My next big goal is to get under 216. For some reason, 216 has been a stumbling block in previous weight loss efforts so I’ll be excited to see that weigh for the last time on my scale. Swimming today, lots of water and prepping meals.
10/8 221.6 (-1.8) Done. I’m thrilled to end this ten day challenge with a loss after my maintenance week started things off. Almost forty pounds down… 45 to go! I’ll reassess my goal when I get closer.

Day/Weight(Moving Ave)/Calories/Comment

Oops — big dinner and some ice cream. That’s ok. Breaks up the low-cal days. All good!

09/30 — 182.4 (182.4) - 1052
Still lagging from Tuesday’s binge. 😃

10/01 — 181.4 (182) - 1107
Yes! That’s my lowest weigh in & moving average in a year! 😁

10/02 — 181.4 (181.7) - 1435
DH made white chicken enchiladas last night for dinner — yummy, but high cals and I didn’t plan ahead too well. Leftovers tonight, but I’ll have a light lunch, and a good walk with the pup before the afternoon rain arrives. Enjoy your Saturday!

10/03 — 180.8 (181.3) - 1112
We skipped the enchiladas last night in favor of rotisserie chicken, so the high-fat cheesy things are on the menu for tonight. Planning for them! Rory pup and I had a lovely walk along the greenway yesterday. Hoping for another when the rain stops. He’s a great motivator—lots of energy to dissipate! Happy Sunday, all!

10/04 — 182.8 (181.6) - 1917
Woopsie! We had the leftover enchiladas last night. And for over a month I’ve been craving honey barbecue Fritos — crazy! But I bought a bag yesterday on my way home from a 2-mile walk and ate wayyyy too many. So most of this gain is salt/water. Ok, satisfied my yearning, back on track today.

10/05 — 182 (181.6) - 1477
Still a little high on calories, but not bad.

10/06 — 182.4 (181.8) - 1802 (7-day ave 1487)
Gaaa. It’s so easy to backslide. I was doing fine until evening, then reverted to my old bad snackfest. I was very conscious of what I was doing but did it anyway. Stress and my ankle was hurting are my excuses. I don’t think the damage is as bad as it looks since I had lots of salt, but it’s not a habit I want to perpetuate, so I will work very hard today to get back on track.

10/07 — 181 (181.5) - 1007
That’s better.

10/08 — 181.2 (-1.2), running Ave 181.4 (-1.1) - 775
I didn’t mean to go so low on calories, but missed lunch and didn’t try to make up for it, plus a low-cal breakfast and dinner of boiled shrimp and butternut squash. Just wasn’t hungry beyond that. So happy to finally be making progress! See you next round, everyone!

Count Me in! I need the accountability. As of this morning's weigh in, I am exactly 20.2 pounds away from my Happy Place. Best of luck to all of us.

Height: 5'7"
Age: 54

Highest weight (this go around): 165.5 lbs
SW: 158.8 (9/29/21)
Challenge Goal: <158.8
UGW: 145 lbs

9/29 158.8 Ate OK - but had a tiny piece of cheesecake at friends' home tonight.
9/30 157.8 Why the 1 lb drop?? My back tolerated a slow 2 mile jog! Ate OK.
10/1 157.8 Ate out Thai for dinner. Snacked a lot in the evening. Long work day --> no exercise.:(
10/2 159.6 Not happy with a large uptick on the scale this morning, but I also felt the previous 2 lower weights were a bit of an anomaly. I was able to jog 2 miles at the arb without problems with my back!! Ate decently.
10/3 159.2 Ate a slice of cake for dessert at friends' home.
10/4 158.6 Ate fine; heavy work day and no significant exercise
10/5 158.8 Felt very tired all day. Resisted snacking. Ate OK but didn't get out for a jog.
10/6 158.0 Another heavy work day; minimal snacking
10/7 158.0 2.6 mile jog - very slow but my back is A-OK with it!;
10/8 158.0 3 days in a row. Maybe this weight is real?

Round 164 (Round 1 for me)

Day/Weight/Comment

9/29 206.6 Getting started here. Weight hopefully is up a bit from the long weekend of traveling. We visit my almost 82 year old mother often to help her and also have carry in from somewhere. Always stressful and I eat.

9/30 207.2 Hopefully that was the salty food I ate yesterday. I should know better by now but it was tasty. Today is looking like it’s going to be stressful. Got to keep myself focused and not give into impulse stress eating.

10/1 206.8 Turned out to be an okay day yesterday even with all the stress. I was down instead of up. 😊

10/2 207.6. Not so good last night. We stayed up very late and ended up binge eating. Both of these I never do. Still a lot of stress and figuring out how to cope with it. Hubby had a very bad health diagnosis on Thursday and I need to learn better coping skills than eating.

10/3 206.2. Very happy with this. I watched my snacking and finally got rid of all that salt from eating out earlier this week.

10/4 205.8 Going in the right direction. Exactly half way there for this rounds goal. I wasn’t sure how much to shoot for since this is my first round.

10/5 204.8 Wow! I wasn’t expecting that. Hubby had some tests yesterday and today so he has been on a restricted diet. I felt bad eating around him so I too ate less. Ding, ding, ding EAT LESS!

10/6 205.0 Up .2 but not going to worry about that. I didn't get my steps in yesterday but I did do well with my food choices. This was my goal for this round so I'll be happy with this number and try to keep it here or hopefully go lower in the next two days.

10/7 203.8 Another great loss although I think it was a bit of a cheat. Yesterday I had some dental work done and had to be careful with my eating. Oh well, I’ll take it any way I can to get this weight off.

10/8 204 I'll take that and be very happy. 2.6 pounds down for my first round. See you in the next one.

@CamandJarvis I tend to agree with the “coming in 3s.” Continued prayers for you all.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/28 …..188.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
09/29 …..185.6 ….. Finally a TMI on day 5. A huge drop on the scale and a full 1% down on the body fat. I’ve really got to start adding fiber, even if it’s in the form of benefiber. A very light dinner and some good snack choices last night really helped too. I am feeling hopeful after this drop. Good luck to everyone this round.

09/30 …..186.2 ….. I think this is a normal physical adjustment to the nearly 3 pound drop yesterday. However, I did have 3 pieces of sugar-free Russell Stovers dark chocolate from a friend that put me over calories by less than 200. Also, not too much movement yesterday. I was staining doors for my reno and that kept me in place most of the day. I’ll work harder at some extra activity. I’m just so tired in the evenings.

10/01 …..187.0 ….. Dammit! Binge last night due to cravings. I will try to make today count for something!

10/02 …..185.0 ….. I did very well yesterday. Tons of total overall calorie burn, 16,000 steps which added up going in and out of house working outside. 7 miles, 6 floors and 2900 overall calories burned for the day. This 2 pound drop is welcome! Travel today so, unfortunately, there will be a bump up again tomorrow. Today will be the opposite. Lots of car sitting and driving, little movement, and restaurant for my main meal. Ugg. Life happens! I’ll try to make good choices. I want to be able to bounce back quickly.

10/03 …..187.0 ….. There’s the travel uptick I expected. I’m okay with it even though my body always seems to prefer staying somewhere in the 187 range, I will not stay locked in. I’m boss of this body of mine! Today will be a very carefully planned day although rain is expected all day. At least I can keep my diet on point. The great NSV yesterday is that I was in a big city and did lots of shopping and I didn’t bring home (in groceries) anything that was not in my plan! Winning!

10/04 …..187.2 ….. …..Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.

10/05 …..186.8 ….. I did sneak in a few extra calories last night after I closed out, but not enough to hurt the scale. I’m so glad to see a drop today. It’s time to see 185 point anything again. Hopefully in the next couple of days.

10/06 …..184.6 ….. I am thrilled to see such a drop but also find it so frustrating. Without being consistent and regular in all things including hormones, glucose readings and TMI’s, it is so difficult to see progress (real fat loss). It’s also difficult to see that I’ve actually gained (do I just need TMI?). I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like things to be clearer on this journey. The same goes for water retention. Did I lose fat or water? Especially when I’m down by a smaller amount like 0.6. Well, for today I will take the 2.2 pound drop. I do know that my lower weight is the real one. It’s the one when my TMI has finally come and I’m not carrying around the last 3 days worth of meals, and/or I’m not retaining water that day. I just hate that I have to be at a 5 lb loss or more to know if I’m really losing weight, or to see how certain foods are affecting me. Let’s finish strong folks. Two more days to go. I hope everything works properly and our weights are accurately reflected by challenge end. I love sharing this journey with you all!

10/07 …..184.8 ….. A tiny normal fluctuation, no worries. I’m glad to see this weight hanging around. Now…..let’s aim for a bit lower to end with a very good pink number! Keep up the good work everyone. I see so many accomplishments of so many kinds going. I’m inspired!

10/08 …..185.6 ….. I have no idea why the scale went up 0.8 overnight. Nothing too salty yesterday. I stayed within calorie limits and in the green. Not a whole lot of exercise but I did more than I even logged and still stayed green. Maybe a strange readjustment from some recent larger drops. I didn’t type my weight in blue because I didn’t do anything wrong so I kept it neutral black. I am down 2.8 lbs this round so I am still very happy about that. I’ll see you all in the next round. Congrats to all those losses of pounds & inches. Congrats to all the NSV’s!
