    Day/Weight/Comment
    9/24 / 169.4 / Not surprised I had a bump up after the mysterious two pound drop. I also ate my feelings last night and exercise didn't happen. Work is getting the best of me. I am still trending down after my vacation but I need to ensure I'm managing my emotions without using food as a crutch.
    9/25 / 169.8 / Last day of the season at the lake. Slept late and now I'm enjoying my coffee outside.
    9/26 / 169 / Today's wins: balanced mental health at work, ate on plan, 60 minute Peloton ride, over 8000 steps, quality time with family.
    9/27 / 169.2 / Walked at lunch so I have already hit my 10K steps and that's before I take my dog out. I am emotionally tired today so I'm just trying to prioritize the time I have tonight as best I can.
    9/28 / 168.8
    9/29 / 168.8
    9/30 / 171.4
    10/1 / 172.2 / Happy October! The work week is not allowing for much in the way of downtime, but I missed checking in here. Thursday night I had an after hours work event that was a food and drink blowout and then I lead into a full out binge. My jump is a reflection of that. After my on-call duties this morning my husband and I are meeting one of his friends in Canmore to bike.

    09/23 …..199.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    09/24 -198.4- (Trend weight 198.7)

    09/25 -200.2- (Trend weight 198.8)

    09/26 -198.6- (Trend weight 198.8)

    09/27 -198.4- (Trend weight 198.8)

    09/28 -198.6- (Trend weight 198.7)

    09/29 -199,.6- (Trend weight 198.8)

    09/30 -198.4- (Trend weight 198.8) The bloat is gone and I’m back down to my true weight. The number shows me I am not making any progress and I know why. Just too many carbs. With no finished clean kitchen yet it is so difficult to cook any meaningful meal. I’ve been relying on a lot of frozen stuff lately. Yep, carbs and sodium too. I just can’t get the handyman to work any faster. Yesterday he worked for 20 minutes, finished what he wanted in that time and went home. Ugh! Remember, we have very limited skilled trade in my area and he is the 4th worker that I’ve hired for this kitchen. He’s my last hope!

    10/01 -198.6- (Trend weight 198.8) Hmmm….198.6 ……Well, that makes a better temperature than a weight, doesn’t it? Normal fluctuation this morning with no TMI. I went to a fundraiser dinner last night which was in pretty good alignment with my plan. I plan an excellent day today. Lots of in the house movement is expected – I’m babysitting the 4 yr old DGS.

    10/02 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    10/03 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

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

    9/24: - DNW - backpacking
    9/25: - DNW - backpacking
    9/26: - DNW - backpacking
    9/27: 131.2 - Turned out we didn’t do any backpacking but ended up camping/hiking. Our need to be near wi-fi service for an important phone call called for altering our plans. I think three days may be my limit for being dirty. We planned dinners and breakfasts and lunch the first day. Rest of the time was mostly snack food.
    9/28: 132.1 - No workout or keeping track of eating. Love that the scale always jolts me back to reality!
    9/29: 131.2 - Normal workout, good eating and good sleep
    9/30: 131.2 - Normal workouts. Eating was mostly compressed into the later evening hours which made me feel full going to bed.
    10/1: 131.6 - Got my workout in early and eating was mainly good.
    10/2: -
    10/3: -

    Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: + 0.9 pounds

    64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 200 ( my 132th). Thanks again @QuiltingJaine.

    So there it is the holiday damage weight gain! I knew it was going to be; my resting heart rate has risen to 54 beats per minute which for me is a direct result of gaining. Goal this round again is to lose 2.5 pounds to get back into 130's (& under 10 stone again!) . Gained the extra in 12 days, so this should be doable! No binges, keep within calories & macros.
    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!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

    9/24 142.4 – 3 miles walked yesterday, not much chance with travelling back home. Loved the holiday, but ready to “get back to normal eating”.

    9/25 DNW - dinner party at good friends and stayed over so we could have a drink with them, 6.24 miles walked yesterday.
    9/26 140.2 – a nice start! Had bacon sandwich brunch at friends before heading back home, spent all afternoon in the garden weeding, dead heading & removing spent bedding plants & sweet peas. It looks nice now!
    9/27 139.6 – excellent, feeling very positive & motivated, 9.9 miles walked, almost 90% exercise calories eaten back.
    9/28 139.2 - 4.57 miles walked – managed to get some steps in around the rain! No exercise calories eaten back.
    9/29 139.2 - 11.2 miles walked and and hour's yoga, 20% of exercise calories eaten back.
    9/30 139.2 – child minding, no structured walking, hence over on calories, but no binge
    10/1 139.6 - 9.43 miles walked, ⅔ exercise calories eaten back. Nice to see my reading heart rate coming down again.
    10/2 140.4 - 9.09 miles walked, celebration party last night, went a bit overboard with the cake, 100 calories over.
    10/3

    Day/Weight/Comment

    9/23 - ???
    I forgot to weigh in this morning. Jeesh. I’ve only been doing it (almost) every day for four years! But I have the pup on a different schedule to deal with anxiety issues he’s having and it threw me off. Of, well, tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow….

    9/24 - 177
    I seem to be on an organizational binge. Last week I reorganized all my garage stuff (gardening supplies mostly) and yesterday I “Marie Kondoed” my clothes. I can’t say that everything remaining brings me ecstatic joy, but I do feel more in control! Next up—kitchen or books. Winter is my writing season (I’ve written/traditionally published 21 books and hundreds of articles, essays, and a few poems), and my re-start is always signaled by a big declutter. Getting the crap out of the way truly does open the way for creative thought and, in my experience, I eat less when I have that control. We shall see! Off to mulch the back garden and build two trellises for my new roses. Enjoy your Saturday!

    9/25 - 177
    Gloomy day, but good for more mulching. Then I may just knit and listen to a recorded book. Sounds like Sunday to me! Enjoy yours.

    9/26 - 177.4
    Monday, Monday….

    9-27 - 177.2
    I had a very good, food-controlled day yesterday. Hoping to repeat today! Have a good one!

    9/28 - 178.2
    Hmmm. My calories were fine, so this has to be water. And maybe emotions, although I’m controlling the comfort snacking pretty well. Been having issue with Rory, my pup, with fear and anxiety despite heavy socialization and lots of training, and it’s been hard. But also DH made “golden mushroom chicken” last night, and we all know how salty Campbell soups are. I’m making a big pot of veggie soup today to freeze for low-cal lunches—nice chilly fall day for making soup. But first, taking the pupper for a walk in the park. Friends in Ian’s path—be safe! Here’s a pic of part of my garden for you. Bundle up and have a cuppa with me!

    9/29 - 177.2
    That’s better. It’s a lovely day out so I’m off for a sniff walk with Rory to give us both a shot of endorphins. Tonight is my doggy school instead of dinner night, so a good day to cut back if I refrain from snacking when I get home!

    9/30 - 177
    Wow. The end of September already. Almost the end of another round. I’m not where I hoped to be but still aspire to being under 177 by the end of the round. Progress is progress, right?

    10/1 - 177.4
    Beautiful golden October is here! As much as I love summer, October is my favorite month here in Indiana. I love the light, the colors, the crispness, the fragrance in the air…. I’m off to take a nice walk on the river greenway and get a good dose of early October. Rory’s going with me—here he is yesterday, surveying his domain after running off a wascally wabbit. 15 months old now, having some serious anxiety/fear issues we’re working on (been this way since I got him), but holy moly, he takes me breath away.

    10/1: DNW
    Not at home, unfamiliar scale.
    10/2: 209.4
    Yikes! I can see no reason for this gain other than stress. I’ve never ended a round with a gain before but there’s a first time for everything!

    @joans1976 You should be able to drop it fairly quickly. Drink lots of water and be mindful.

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

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

    People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    9/24: - DNW - backpacking
    9/25: - DNW - backpacking
    9/26: - DNW - backpacking
    9/27: 131.2 - Turned out we didn’t do any backpacking but ended up camping/hiking. Our need to be near wi-fi service for an important phone call called for altering our plans. I think three days may be my limit for being dirty. We planned dinners and breakfasts and lunch the first day. Rest of the time was mostly snack food.
    9/28: 132.1 - No workout or keeping track of eating. Love that the scale always jolts me back to reality!
    9/29: 131.2 - Normal workout, good eating and good sleep
    9/30: 131.2 - Normal workouts. Eating was mostly compressed into the later evening hours which made me feel full going to bed.
    10/1: 131.6 - Got my workout in early and eating was mainly good.
    10/2: 131.4 - Normal workout with a pretty tough glutei/arm/ab workout. I’m surprised I’m not more sore this morning. Needed it to counteract the Rice Krispy Treat sampling we did as I was making them for a friend.
    10/3: -

    Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: + 0.7 pounds

    Round 200
    September 24 - October 3, 2022

    Please join us starting on 9/24 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 200!

    Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

    Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

    Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

    Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

    FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.
