    1/27 215.1 (-.0.5/-3.5) :love: I am over the moon....I am a wine drinker and enjoy a glass or two daily. On the weekends my husband and I might share a mixed cocktail. I knew that it was all empty calories and had slowed down my weight loss. I told myself that was ok, as long as I was still losing and I still got to enjoy my wine.
    Then I hurt my foot, so the exercise stopped and my weight loss stalled as I was maintaining (if not gaining) even though I was eating well; clearly, it was the empty calories. So I decided to skip the booze and OMG...It's not like I didn't know it but I just didn't take action~Both Goals met ✔✔
    1/28 214.8 (-0.3/-3.8) Both Goals met ✔✔
    1/29 215.5 (+.7/-3.1) Alcohol Goal Met ✔
    1/30 216.6 (+1.1/-2.0) Got a little bamboozled this weekend🙂 My husband wanted to go to Crumbl cookies (new to our area) so we stopped by. The menu board said the cookies were 130 calories. I thought ...no way... but I was in the store and they couldn't be wrong, right! So after logging my 130 calorie cookie, I didn't understand why MFP was coming in at such a higher (more reasonable) amount. I went to their website and yes 130 calories per serving. A serving is 1/4 of a cookie - seriously? Who eats 1/4 of a cookie? Well, I ate an entire cookie on Saturday and Sunday I have a 1/2 of a cookie. They were VERY good though. And... I fell down on my water on Sunday. Today MUST be a good day🙂 Alcohol Goal Met ✔
    1/31 216.6 (-0.0/-2.0) I thought I'd have more this round but those cookies did me in🙂 and yesterday's meal was not the healthiest. Within calorie range but not the best choice.... Looking forward to the next round! I'm doing quite well with the alcohol Goal but got to increase my water intake.Alcohol Goal (will be) Met ✔ Water Goal (will be) Met ✔

    @clprieur First of all, eff that lady with her designer dog! Karma will sort her out. I work at a Fear Free vet clinic and these owners are trying so hard to make a better life for their reactive fur babies. It’s work, sometimes a full time job.

    Congratulations on being at a maintenance weight! I haven’t been there in a long time and when I was there I didn’t appreciate it. So. There are a ton of threads on here about maintaining but I think you are 100% correct in checking with your doctor. I know people say to have a maintenance range of weight instead of trying to stick to one number. But I guess that’s pretty obvious 😐 I love that you set realistic goals and achieve them!

    Day 10! Made it! I lost 1.5-2 pounds, I think, although with the water roller-coaster anything is possible!

    I hope everyone feels good about the last ten days. I feel as if, even if I didn't lose much weight, I did learn some things about my body and this process.

    SW: 200
    Day/Weight/Comment
    1/22 200 (Big plans to sit at my desk, mark assignments and enter marks for mid-terms. Sheesh. Will try to get up and run up and down stairs every 20-30 mins. Made lentil soup and chicken bone broth yesterday, so I have something warm, nourishing, filling and not too caloric for quick meals/snacks this week!)
    1/23 199 (Nutrition and exercise good, but too much work to do weight training today. Cardio only. Feeling a bit under the weather, so I may be fighting something. There is so much going around at school.)
    1/24 199 (I am coming down with something, so it has been hard not to eat everything in sight! When I’m sick I often do not make good choices and struggle to exercise. I exercised and ate well today. Whew!)
    1/25 198 (Good day for nutrition and exercise!)
    1/26 199 (sore from changing up my weight training yesterday, ate an Oreo at a tem-end celebration for one of my classes)
    1/27 200 (birthday meal at a restaurant last night—carbs and salt are showing up on the scale!)
    1/28 --- (NOT weighing in today! Too depressing. I’ll weight in once the sushi rice and soy sauce have cycled through! Another restaurant meal tonight, though. I’m not sure where we will go, so I don’t have a plan yet. Will jump on treadmill after school, so I don’t miss my exercise.)
    1/29 199 (Good day today. I’m a bit sore from weights, so I’ll do cardio only tonight.)
    1/30 198 (Good today, except for a slice of ice-cream cake, in the freezer from my husband’s birthday... got exercise, at least)
    1/31 199 (Good day today, ate well, exercised not as much as I should have, but I’m coming down with something, I think. Ech! Not again!)

    Day/Weight/Comment

    1/22: 172.8 lb
    Stayed within calorie budget and exercised. I am going to aim for consistency this round.

    1/23: 172.8 lb
    Achieved my goals for the day.

    1/24: 173.0 lb
    Stayed within calorie budget and exercised. Was an active day for me and I was a bit hungry during the day.

    1/25: 173.0 lb
    Why O why do I eat my children's leftovers? My youngest is the worst for leaving food on his plate. He eats like a bird - the occasional peck at his food then he moves on. I need to add a goal which is not to eat my children's leftovers and get him to sit at the table until dinner is done.

    1/26: 173.3 lb
    I have been naughty and have not been counting a vegetable stir fry I usually eat for lunch. I think that is the reason for my lack of progress. I will count it from now on and see what happens. I thought it was relatively benign. It has cauliflower, zucchini, mushrooms, onion, and bok choy. It will be interesting to see how many calories it comes to.

    1/27: 172.0 lb
    Well the "benign" stir fry turned out to be 100 calories per serve. So not insignificant. I will count it from now on and not treat it as a free pass. I think my consistency otherwise has lead to a drop finally showing up but I will wait to see how much of a bounce back I get tomorrow. Oh and I didn't eat my kids leftovers!

    1/28: 172.0 lb
    Surprised this weight stuck. I did not indulge in pizza night instead having a cauliflower stir fry. My DS made brioche though and I had 2 small slices. I don't know why he felt the need to spend a few days making it but he is already a better cook than me!


    1/29: 172.4 lb
    Unfortunately there was leftover brioche and I had a few large slices. Combine that with a big dinner and that might account for the increase.

    1/30: 172.4 lb
    TOM had started. Usually I get a loss when it starts. I ate within calorie budget and exercised so all good there.

    1/31: 172.0 lb
    Stuck to my calories and exercised. Ate a big dinner but didn't eat my children's leftovers. I need focus on giving myself smaller portions for dinner next. I am happy that I am down 1.2 lb for this round. See you next round!

    @clprieur I think our mood/feelings have a great deal to do with weight loss. I think I might have been inclined to say to the yelling lady, “We’re working on it!”

    Well, I am not as nice as you. I yelled back "I just rescued him 2 weeks ago! And mind your own business!!" LOL. It was the best I could think of in the moment. Later I told my husband that it is not my dog she needs to worry about. :) I think you are very correct about mood/weight loss, which is a good point. I should be proud of myself that I did not binge that day, and also the next day - the medication I have been given to take on occasion when I can't settle my mood, Seroquel, usually makes me SOOOO hungry the next day!! But I stayed on plan. :)

    01/31 -194.8- (Trend weight 197.0) I had a horrible binge last night on my “diet foods” that ended up putting me at over 3000 calories and over 200 carbs, Amazingly, my weight stayed the same after fervent prayer before weighing in. I know it can show up a day or two later so I’m not feeling super confident yet. This was self-sabotage because of my recent weight drops and because of the final weigh in this morning for this challenge. Self-sabotage has got to stop. I deserve to do well and to be healthier. Great round for so many. So nice to see so many folks sharing and supporting. See you tomorrow.

    Oh, I totally know what you mean about playing fast and loose with your calories after a loss! I do it all the time! "Well, I did good, so I deserve a bit of this and a bit of that! Plus, it's all healthy!" I totally get that!! For me, it is a dangerous mindset and often leads to me gaining 60 lbs. LOL. Nice that you are noticing it and catching yourself! PLUS, you did great this round. GOOD JOB!!

    @clprieur First of all, eff that lady with her designer dog! Karma will sort her out. I work at a Fear Free vet clinic and these owners are trying so hard to make a better life for their reactive fur babies. It’s work, sometimes a full time job.

    Congratulations on being at a maintenance weight! I haven’t been there in a long time and when I was there I didn’t appreciate it. So. There are a ton of threads on here about maintaining but I think you are 100% correct in checking with your doctor. I know people say to have a maintenance range of weight instead of trying to stick to one number. But I guess that’s pretty obvious 😐 I love that you set realistic goals and achieve them!

    Thanks so much! This is my second dog-reactive dog. LOL. I seem to attract crazy dogs... maybe it's coming down the leash! ;) Thanks for the encouraging words, especially considering your line of work! I really appreciate it. Golly is doing so well in all of his training and he is learning everything so fast. He was picked up as a stray and he stayed in shelter for 10 months - nobody wanted him because he looks like a bully breed (here in Ontario pit bulls are banned, and even dogs that look like pit bulls are banned, which is totally crazy). When I got him at the beginning of January he didn't even know how to not pee in the house or walk on a leash etc. He is doing amazing. <3

    As for my weight... I am totally freaked out. LOL. Thank you though! I think, for now, I will try to stay in a 145-150 range?? I honestly have no idea what I am doing. LOL. I can't wait to talk to someone from my bariatric clinic. Hopefully they can help. :)

    Day/Weight/Comment
    1/22 168.2 Up a bit since yesterday. Last round I just let loose. Lot's of good things that shook up my routines and I gave in and let it get away from me. Surprisingly I ended the round down in pounds. I'll be happy with one pound down every 10 days. I am not in any rush to reach my goal weight--but I want to change my habits so that it doesn't creep back up.

    1/23 168.6 rejoined OTF signed up for 8 classes a month but after going two days in a row I think I will get addicted again and want to increase.

    1/24 167.0 Banged my toe last night and it is all swollen. I will get it looked at today and hopefully I will be able to do INFERNO at OTF on Thursday. It is a series of tread/row blocks and then the floor exercises.

    1/25 168.4 I am wondering if this is due to going over on my sodium last night. I had a lot of soy sauce with my Mung bean sprouts. I had a lot of sodium for dinner tonight too. I think it might be worth tracking to see if there is a correlation between night time salt and scale gains.

    1/26 168.4 So the morning after another high sodium night and my weight stayed the same. Tonight I stayed on the low side for sodium so we will see what the scale looks like tomorrow. My toe is feeling a bit better so hopefully tomorrow I will be back at the gym. I can get it into sneakers again.

    1/27 169.0 hmmm so maybe salt isn't the problem. I did eat dinner later than usual last night and I also have been having a glass of milk with dinner the past three nights which is something I haven't done in a long time. I was just getting sick of water and without booze, milk is my preferred beverage--what can I say I'm a child of the 80s we drank milk with meals. It is a comfort beverage. So tonight, no milk. I worked out and feel really good. Tomorrow is going to be a whole day out and there will be booze. It was kind of what I was saving up for ;). I don't plan on too many smileys tomorrow. But I booked a morning class at OTF before the festivities so at least one smiley should happen.

    1/28 165.8 Well wouldn't you just look at that. Maybe it was the salt weight before. Maybe it was the extra water yesterday. Maybe I just can't drink milk. Maybe it was the work out yesterday. No idea what it was but THIS RIGHT HERE is the reason why I can't let daily fluctuations get to me. I could have beat myself up saying -- I am gaining I need to cut more calories--but instead I tried to assess and didn't let it bother me to much, and bam--I'm lower than I have been in months today.
    I am off to the gym now for an early morning class, then a full day of fun in the city. I will definitely not stay dry today and I probably won't hydrate as much, and I may or may not try to log my food. I will check in again tomorrow.

    1/29 163--I didn't eat much yesterday but I did imbibe plenty. I am not expecting this weight to stay through the end of the round.

    1/30 166.4 Woke up very early and couldn't get back to sleep this morning. I should have gone to the gym but my foot is hurting. I thought I would go after work but I am so tired now. I guess my fitness goal will not be met this round but everything else is going well.

    1/31 166.6 I was still so sore from my workouts over the weekend. In fact it felt worse today. And joint pain, and my bruised toe looked like it was swelling up again. Chest tightness. Coughing. Came home from work and took my temperature 100.3. Took a covid test and yep--it finally got me. I will go easy on myself next round for the exercise expectations.
