Round 56 (#20) Goal for the remainder of this year: dump the last 11 lbs. 10/15: 132 10/16: 130.8, very busy work day yesterday. 10/17: 130.8, another busy workday. Ate at a deficit and no junk food. 10/18: 132.4, dinner date consisting of sushi and beer. Delicious! Started today with 32oz of water (sooooo thirsty), a cup…

Maybe you can rephrase this to be a positive affirmation. "I deserve new clothes and will buy them because I am a smaller dress size."

@missm2 Most likely water retention due to sugars and/or sodium. Check the labels on your food and beverages. Our bodies can easily shift 5+ pounds of water throughout the day. Weighing first thing upon waking tends to be the most accurate. I'm a good example of this. Had sushi and beer last night and I'm up 1.6 lbs from…

@lolakinks I'm curious as to why you can't trust your body or scale? The scale is one type of tool for measuring change. Fat loss is a downward trend which can be seen over time via changes in body measurements, fit of clothing, and long term tracking of the readings obtained from the scale. @wellnfree I have an apple…

@MyEvolvingJourney Proper fit is very important, especially when when your body changes. 10 lbs of fat loss puts me in the next smaller band size and in between cup sizes. As for VS sizing, it's been my observation their sizing is a bit off to other brands. The band sizing is a bit more generous and the cup sizing is a bit…

@melperr Welcome! I love hot cocoa and absolutely refuse to give it up. Try making it with 1/2 the packet/serving of cocoa and a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. This little tweak saved me calories and cut my sugar intake quite a bit. (Sugar is a major binge trigger for me and makes me retain water.) Now I don't even…

Round 55 (#19) Interesting how I've done everything possible to prevent progress. The desire is there, but it seems like I don’t care enough to lose more body fat. Hmmmm…. 10/05: 135.2 10/06: 135.2 10/07: 136.2, not so bueno 10/08: 133.8, water loss. Been very busy with work. Called into surgery at 2am. Weighed after…

@ssssanaaaa As long as you aren't dehydrated enjoy your losses. Water weight shifts quickly, actual body mass losses happen over longer periods of time as demonstrated by your progress since your Round 1. Well done! @iLadyT does your scale need a new battery? @Bendiz_ Happy birthday!!! I love how you're discovering…

@tiabirdie56 You are just a beautiful as your flower wall!

@quiltingjaine My pleasure @deepwoodslady You're very welcome. 5 minutes before showering is all it takes. Your skin will thank you. Profound is an interesting procedure. Happy reading.

@tiabirdie56 Sweet peppers! OMG, I've got to try your version. Thanks! Get your sleep. As much as I miss your posts and wisdom, your health is much more important to me. @LeafyPoo I weighed 210 while pregnant with my eldest and 205 with my youngest. At 5'3.5" that is a significant amount of body fat; I was carrying around…

Just caught up with everyone's posts. I am so very sorry to read about the loss of loved ones (2 and 4 legged) and employment. Sending you hugs and prayers. @MadisonMolly2017 You're very welcome. @tiabirdie56 posted about parsley tea and cucumber water a while back. I drink the tea and prefer to snack on cucumbers (in a…

@MadisonMolly2017 I've broken a few bones with the most recent being the 5th toe on my left foot. Yes, I'm a bit of a klutz. As for the surgery, I'm a Radiologic Technologist so I was called in to operate the C-arm (portable fluoroscope) which is how surgeons see the anatomy while during the procedure.

Parsley tea and snacking on cucumbers help me flush the excess fluids.

I watched it while I was at work in Templeton. Awesome! Which city/town are you in?

@cdavisdeva maybe you can enlist your sister's aid to help you stay on track. Women tend to be helpers. :smile: @AJB1014 https://amazon.com/Ball-Glass-Mason-Drinking-Regular/dp/B06XHPK7WR/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1539018127&sr=8-8&keywords=drinking+jars+with+lids+and+straws

@tiabirdie56 Love your breast cancer awareness project and Care Bear! I'm a mammographer. Trying to catch up on everyone's posts!

Round 54 (#18) I typically don't set goals because I find myself sabotaging them. Stupid, I know, but it's true. Challenge goal:Stop binge eating my trigger foods which are too numerous to list. 9/25: 132.4, date last night. Grilled chicken, fingerling potatoes with red bell pepper and sweet onion, and wilted spinach. The…

"Who control’s your diet, if not you??" Excellent insight for everyone. Thank you @quiltingjaine

@denswrex I dropped 6 lbs when I stayed in Maui. The daily 4 mile round trip walks to the beach and the 7 mile round trip walks to the market combined with a diet high in fresh fish, veggies, and fruit, I came back home in great shape. @puttyputty Fantastic news!!! Made me cry with relief for you. Catching up with everyone…

@TerriRichardson112 It was part of a program I had purchased several years ago. I could probably email it to you. It's an Exel spreadsheet
