Hi, everyone! Round 49 SW 224.4 8/6 / 225.4 / Goodness, I'm retaining water like crazy. But I'm eating well and it will all shake out in the end! 8/7 / 223.6 / That's better. As part of another challenge, I did cardio and jumping jacks and drank SO MUCH WATER yesterday. Note to self: Do not drink a lot of water and then do…

I can't eat the vast majority of Chinese food because I can't eat normal soy sauce, but yep. The ones I can eat are very salty and cause a big weight bump. So delicious, though.

I'm doing another day of drinking only water and I notice a pattern. If I drink only water, I'm so hungry all day. When I drink other drinks, I'm not. What is this madness?

@deepwoodslady, national pee day! Ha! @denswrex, we've had to have our cat shaved before. He looks so skinny and pink when we do that. What a cutie you have. @sue_01, how wonderful, and your attitude is inspirational.

Welcome, @mdhooker40, and anyone else new I missed. This is a great group of folks and I hope you find a home here.

Hi, everyone! Welcome newcomers and continuing warriors both! :) Round 49 SW 224.4 8/6 / 225.4 / Goodness, I'm retaining water like crazy. But I'm eating well and it will all shake out in the end!

Thank you, @AJB1014. I can handle when it's just pain, but when I get vertigo and nausea too, it's a doozy.

This is my 17th round! Round 48: SW 223.4 7/27 / 224.2 at 7:00 / A bit of a bump up, but also an earlier weigh in. I'm not worried in the slightest. Still staying under calories. Didn't get any exercise in yesterday. I was feeling below par. I hope today will be a more comfortable day, and I already know I'll get some…

Welcome to all of the newcomers. The mix of veterans and newcomers and returning guest stars is what keeps this challenge so interesting. :)

Welcome, @susiemcmac! I think it's so helpful to see that others can do everything right and still see their weights bounce around. The scale is just an imperfect but useful tool.

Welcome, @1991court! I only occasionally set goal weights and I always miss them by a mile, either way low or way high. Obviously, I am NOT the expert on goal weights! :lol:

Welcome back, @lolakinks. I'm glad you've decided to rejoin. That weigh-in will be hard, but you already know how your clothes fit, so the number on the scale is just data you can use to make changes. You can do this!

This will be my 17th round. I love this challenge for its incredible simplicity and accountability, and I get to put on my inner cheerleader and root like crazy for all of us. Win-win-win!

Lovely to see you all! 7/17 / 227.6 at 6:10 / Backing away from my muscle repair and pho water retention. Another good eating day in the books yesterday and I woke up much more limber than yesterday morning! 7/18 / 227.4 at 7:20 / Feeling great. I'm experimenting with going meatless some days and finding it pretty easy.…

Wonderful, @eminater! I'm so happy for you!

@AJB1014, I think this is the key for me. I'm not punishing myself. I'm living my life in a sustainable way, with ups and downs. I'm nearing 30 pounds lost, not at any sort of rapid clip, but without really ever feeling that I'm doing something hard. I can't guarantee I'll never lose this mindset, but it's served me really…

@3DCAKE, no change? Girl, you lost 100 pounds! :lol: I'm glad you got your boost, @L2HS. I'll admit that I have mixed emotions about people noticing my weight loss, especially when they think I'm doing something other than counting my calories and moving my butt. Those conversations always get so awkward for me. I think…

In!

Thanks, @mthomas0228!
