    For all you wine lover's logging your Calories - most of the wine Calories in the data base are lower than actual due to the higher % ETOH in wine these days. Most wine's now have 13.5% alcohol (7 kcals per gram) which calculates to 27 kcals per oz.

    HSW : +107.7lbs

    - Current-goal, get BMI below 29.9
    R29 SW +87.8 EW: +83.6 ( - 4.2 lbs)
    R30 SW: +83.6 EW: +80.2 ( - 3.4 lbs)
    R31 SW: +80.2 EW: +78.4 ( -1.8 lbs)

    Loss since restart: -9.4 lbs
    Loss since highest weight: -29.3 lbs
    - mini-goal to get down to +75. (to go clothes shopping) (hopefully end of R32)

    Day/Weight/Comment
    R30 -1 day: +79.0
    R30 - SW +80.2
    02/07 +78.2 (i stared at the scales for 5 mins!)
    02/08 +79.2 (happy!!! - but I don't normally fluctuate this much)
    02/09 +78.8 (just want to keep travelling south of +80)
    02/10 +78.6 (HAPPY - yesterday was a cheat day!)
    02/11
    02/12 +77.8 *check-in day* historic loss - 30lbs; current loss = 10 lbs! *woo hoo*
    02/13
    02/14 +78.4 (feeling bloated) let's get down to +77.x COME ON!
    02/15 +77.8 (happy to see this again, want to see a smaller number tomorrow)
    02/16 +78.4 (I feel like I am having trouble getting the scales to move) grr, will try super hard this w/e as check in is in 2 days.

    I am not sure *daily* weighting is motivating me or not. This round was tough I am getting quite obsessed about wanting to loose every day - and I am starting to feel a little demoralised. I think I will still do R32, as I think it could be / has to be / a lot better than R31.

    JGM10D | 2018 Edition | Round 4t
    (Round 31)

    Long-term Focus: In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.
    I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
    Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs. Lose 1lb per round. [/color]
    pretty-pink-welcome-smiley-emoticon.gif to Round 31
    This has given me a motivational element of daily accountability.
    Observations, and Previous Rounds
    It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you stick with it! The game continues!
    Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending many factors.
    • Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
    • A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
    • A high sodium day usually results in a gain due to water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.
    Don't beat yourself up over a temporary gain. Trust the process and stick with the programme.
    If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
    Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
    But remember to live a little along the way!

    Maan - I was just thinking about how difficult things might be to get the weight off this time, and I came across this. This is a great idea - I'm in!!

    **Round 31**
    Heaviest/Round 31 Starting Weight: 235lbs at 5’ 11” (Feb 6th 2018)
    Lightest Weight: 175lbs (March 2009)
    Round 31 Goal Weight: 232 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 185 lbs

    Daily Goals:
    Drink 90-120oz of water daily; consume 1300 cal and measure food; no added sugars/sweeteners; around 1500mg sodium intake max; get in as many steps as possible; do chi gung; sleep more than 6 hours nightly!

    Day/Weight/Comment
    02/07: 235 – Almost hit a snag when a major meal ingredient ended up missing, but found a good substitution! Sodium went over pretty badly (2711 mg) – I’ll have to reduce prepared foods for tomorrow. Steps were on the lower end. Everything else good!

    02/08: 234.4 - Number moving in the right direction! Missed chi gung, but measuring steps now that FB Blaze is operational. Sodium vastly improved, but still 300 mg over goal.

    2/09: 233.6 – All day before dinner was great, hitting all goals! Except…dinner came with pizza, which probably ended up being not so great for both calorie goals and sodium intake. We’ll see how tomorrow looks!

    02/10: 234 – Shabbat means rest, and often results in laxity :/. Off on water and sleep, chi gung was absent, steps were low (hanging around the house), and I ate a lot more, junk or not. Will have to figure out how to manage this better.

    02/11: 236.2 – Number did not surprise me due to Shabbat habits, but I did not like seeing that. It often comes down after a day of disciplined wellness, but we’ll see. Food and exercise goals were on point, but this was my second night with interrupted or less sleep that aimed for. The workweek should put me back in routine for this. Let’s see if I’m impacted by this…

    02/12: 234.8 - Number is going back in the right direction! I’ll be foregoing Shabbat laxity for the next few rounds. Have been below my calories just slightly and have been finding I am tired earlier than normal, so I want to make sure I hit those and the macro ratios involved. No chi gung, so I’ll want to do that and up my steps for tomorrow.

    02/13: 233 – Under my last lowest weigh-in! Fingers are crossed for my R31 goal! The menu and morning went well. Day progressed decently but got derailed due to a work issue. Got home late and early tiredness returned and knocked me out, resulting in dinner, chi gung, and the last water intake being missed for the day.

    02/14: 232.2 – Was able to get up super early (4am) and prep the whole day out. Everything was perfectly on point but the chi gung (still haven’t successfully moved it to the morning. Best day of eating, water, prep (set through the weekend and shopping for next week on Friday), steps, and other supporting factors so far. I’m really excited to hopefully see more progress weighing in tomorrow.

    02/15: 229.8 – Whoo hoo! Not a lot to say – left my dinner salad at work, but I had lentil stew available! Prep and meal variation are both lifesavers – prep leaves you with ready to eat food, and meal variation allows for saves like this one while allowing nutrient and macro ration preservation.

    02/16: 229.8 – My weighing was off sequence-wise, so I suspect this might be a tad lower. Everything was good today for the most part. Family wanted to eat Mexican for dinner, so I got the most conservative item on the menu. Hopefully the sodium is low enough not to derail the day. Chi gung still eludes me, missed taking my vitamins, and I feel asleep before getting my last water intake so I was a few ounces under goal. All in all, I am very pleased with this round, though!

    Total Round Loss: 5.2 lbs R31 SW: 235 R31 EW: 229.8

    Takeaways from R31: Keeping water intake on point, keeping sodium well controlled (and between 1500-1800mg), being insistent on planning and having alternatives in meal emergencies are going to be key in continued progress. It’s not worth it to take full cheat days, though I might continue to experiment with smaller concessions for better social balance. On to Round 32!

    Initial SW: 325.0
    R31 SW: 272.0

    02/07 - 272.0
    Getting close to being out of the 270s!

    02/08 - 272.0
    Holding steady. Too much sodium last night, but stayed within my calorie goal.

    02/09 - 271.6
    This was a planned "over" day for me. It always makes me a bit nervous when I exceed my usual calorie goal by several hundred calories, but I'm just trying to remind myself that it will be fine.

    02/10 - No Data
    I try to only use the scale at work, so I won't be weighing in today or tomorrow as it is the weekend. I somehow managed to keep it under 1,800 calories for the day, which almost never happens on Saturday!

    02/11- No Data
    Another good day. I struggle to find things to occupy my time on the weekends. I don't love going to work during the week, but at least it keeps me busy.

    02/12 - 269.8
    Yay! It had been a mini-goal of mine to be in the 260s by my birthday in a couple of weeks, but I got there early!

    02/13 - 268.8
    Nasty headache right now, but I'm down another pound since yesterday so I won't complain (much)!

    02/14 - 268.8
    Unapologetically blaming TOM for the fact that the scale didn't budge today. Hubby works tonight, so no V-Day plans.

    02/15 - 268.4
    Sooooo glad it's almost the weekend. I'm going to end up being quite a bit below my calorie goal today, but I'll be making up for it at tomorrow's belated Valentine's Day dinner.

    02/16 - 267.2
    Nice loss to finish up the round! Ready to move on to the next one. :grin:

    R29 EW 138.6 (-1.6)
    R30 EW 137.4 (-1.2)
    UGW: 126
    Gonna keep active, drink water and eat healthy!
    Day/Weight/Comment
    02/07 138.0 work wore me out. Gonna take it easy tonight.
    02/08 137.2 no surprise sitting on couch leads to overeating.
    02/09 138.0 just eating a lot and not moving as much
    02/10 142.2 stopped taking the diuretic for my high blood pressure 3 days ago, haven’t exercised in a week, been eating more, and made a bad food choice last night. Honestly gaining a few pounds doesn’t bother me. I’m angry that an innocent bowl of oatmeal with a little dried fruit last night has me so sick today. Between the food allergies and GI restrictions, sometimes the feeling of deprivation is disheartening. If my body is going to feel this bad, I should at least be eating something decadent- not Quaker Oats! So today I loaded up on antihistamines, kept my inhaler close, and binged on some of the less dangerous foods I’ve been missing. Hoping to get this rebellious streak out of my system and get back to taking care of myself like an adult again.
    02/11 144.0 sure doesn’t take long to gain
    02/12 145.2 TOM has returned. That explains a lot
    02/13 142.4 take out Chinese for dinner tonight
    02/14 143.3 stayed under calorie goal, drank more water
    02/15 142.4 so hungry after 14 hr shift, ate way over calories but drank lots of water
    02/16 138.2 almost back to normal
