Well done on the runs, SB!

Sliding into Day 10. Got weighed this morning, and was pleased to find I've slid a pound down, even after all those sudden desserts. Looks like cutting out snacking is the biggie!

Love that .... "TWEAK 'N STREAK!!" Rosinate that is great and congratulations on the scale victory!

Silverbirch, I also like "Eat all food slowly and sitting down!" I need to reread Beck, lot of help for me there, methinks. Congrats on doing so well and the running.

JJJ2!!! Woot, congrats on your Day 12 yesterday and all of the great things ye have been accomplishin' recently!

Tess/Am is on Day 14. Did this day START to work the Sunday hours on the stuff I need to get done for the job but then did a two hour walk/jog session and a weigh-in and some clarity came to me about how burnt out I used to be working all the time when it never got done and the deadlines always made me binge on Monday anyhow, so am leaving it all from this point (maybe) until Monday (might do a little on it but need to force self to stop thinking like that as it IS a major reason why I had a wee regain).

So planning for Day 1 of my next streak took place. Scale was nice to me but not that much. I have reformulated my goals actually to lose 10 pounds by September 25, which is when I need to have made some further career decisions.

My 14-Day Challenge (Round 2) rule is for each day to be WORKING TOWARDS a WEEKLY CALORIE AVERAGE OF 1600 OR LESS! That is Challenge Rule 1.

Challenge Rule 2 is NO EVIL WALLY WORLD TRIANGLE DONUT ON ANY DAY for the length o' the challenge.

Once again, these "rules" do not constitute legally binding contracts and there is no requirement for moi to go back and start the count over if there is a nonconforming day.

Ibid, quid pro quo.

That be it! Woot!

Today is Day 13 for me on my 'maintenance streak' and so far it is going OK.

Maintaining a weight loss is a whole different thing than losing the weight -- but actually it is much the same. We "weight-challenged" individuals need to constantly focus on what we need to do. It is so easy for those lost lbs. to come slithering back and reattach themselves to our bodies, and we really don't want that. :) The statistics are against us, most people who lose a significant amount of weight are not able to maintain that weight loss.

May we all, Rosinante, Silverbirch, Tess, and any non-posting participants, continue on our individual streaks, each of us doing the very best we can. :wave:

Actually, that is all we realistically can do. Woot!!! :wave:

Coming in at the end of Day 12. A good day, work-wise, and not too bad, food-wise, though could have eaten less. No exercise bar a little bit of weeding (30 mins?) as I was at work all day.

Let's do our best, all!

Yea, JJJ2, it IS the same, maintenance is the flip side of the loss and as I am doing, we are sometimes called upon in maintenance to lose some weight just to remain maintained. Congrats on Day 13.

Silverbirch, congrats to ye on Day 12!

And again congrats to Rosinate and any lurkers herein also.

Was going to take a nap and decided to go out and wander the world as i used to do as burns more calories than lying on the couch, so went shopping and only bought bleach. I like bleach and use it to freshen the air and clean and a host of things.

I am sure Day 14 will be a success. The calorie total, of course, will count towards this week's average so I am that much to the good.

Officially on Day 1! Woot, will be back tomorrow night, gotta really focus tomorrow on the work.

Lookin' ok here on my Day 1, finished work, no binge, no donuts, got some healthy food in and have another work day then a day off and the late meeting again, etc., think I can do ok without donuts. Woot!

Today was Day 14 for me, so it is the final day of the 14 day "Good Weight Management Behavior Streak" for me. It's been helpful to me, so I think I will start tomorrow with Day 1 of another streak.

Let's all do the best we can as long as we can. :wave:

Day 13 was not particularly good. I did a lot of gardening, moving slate round which was excellent and very enjoyable. Less good was multi-tasking around that. This is something I'm very bad at and hate having to do. So too much nibbling standing up.

Woot! Huzzah to JJJ2 and the new challenge. Congratulations on the Day 14 victory and so glad ye are doin' another one!

Silverbirch, all that movin' slate probably cancelled out the nibbles. Huzzah on Day 13!!!

Greetings also to Rosinate! Woot!

Any any silent pards we may have here!

I am on Day 2 and it is a similar stress filled agenda today as yesterday but handling it better as am halfway through a walk (sometimes I also multi task and take breaks, which is why I should go do the track at the gym instead where I just get it done) ... hmmm ... anyway my thingie yesterday went well and cals were at a place where the weekly average reached less than 1600 and there were no evil Wally donuts on the horizon anywhere and intent is to replicate that today, but be less stressed about everything.

Woot!

Day 14 - not great. Multi-tasking. I'm not sure whether I'll be joining you for another streak as I'm only just getting through these days at present (too much going on) and posting is sometimes too much to fit in. I'll sleep on it.

But very :cool: idea, Tess/Am! Thank you. And good luck to you both, JoJoJo2 and Rosinante!

Ye are always welcome, Silverbirch, t'is fun to see ye here but understandable if ye don't do another challenge.

Woot!

JJJ2, I was thinkin' o' the GOOD WEIGHT MANAGEMENT BEHAVIOR STREAK earlier today and it got me up and moving when I really wanted an extra nap. I remember I used to call these behaviors by some acronym or other lol, things like always walking my grocery cart back to its proper place instead of lazily leaving it near my car, taking extra walks, not skipping any workouts, not eating donuts (much) lol.

All adds up in maintenance mode as well as losses.

Rosinate, huzzah!

I actually thought I was on day 3 earlier, that is how busy the last two days have been, kind of lived three days in two, but for me today has been great as in getting work done, no binges, a lowish cal count that I may add to if hungry and two hours of exercise (walking and abs).

So NOW I can say on to day 3 for me!

Today was Day #1 for me on another "Good Weight Management Behavior Streak." The last streak was successful in that I stayed at my maintenance goal. I allow myself a 3 lb. leeway in my maintenance, which works for me, and the streak fitted into that personal goal. Today was a good day.

Silverbirch - It's been a pleasure 'streakin' with you, and I wish you well in whatever direction your life takes you.

Rosinate - Greetings to you -

Am/Tess - Glad you had a good day of it, and on to the next day. Woot!

Let's make each day the best we can. :wave:

Woot! Congrats on Day 1 JJJ2~!

Just ate a sugar free fudgesicle, the best thing in the central AZ heat ...

Day 3 for me but I probably should go back to bed lol. Woot! Doing well!
