The key to weight loss is to never feel like you’re on a diet, because diets don’t work. If you feel deprived, you will never make it past a few weeks. The only way to achieve long-term weight loss is to learn to appreciate food as fuel and slowly replace processed food that cannot properly energize the body with real food that can. After a while this will become second nature and won’t feel like a daily struggle. — Laura Burak, MS, RD, CDN

02/19 -174.6 All of the positive comments and eating struggles some people are having really motivated me. I'm up from the last round and was very disappointed in myself. But I realize that this is a journey not a quick fix. My husband is a golfer and is teaching me how to play. When I putt he always tells me "If you hit the ball short of the hole, there's a 100% chance you will not sink the putt". I say, if I stop working on eating healthy and exercising, there is a 100% chance I will not meet my goal of 135 lbs. Let's do this!

Round 32 Goal = work slowly toward new goal weight 127.0

2/17 - 130.0 - starting with a drop back to current low weight. Yesterday under calories, modest walk / stress-bust run.
2/18 - 129.8 - first sight of the under-130's, but likely to be temporary over calories yesterday, knee hurting, did not work out.

2/19 - 129.8 - okay lol. Under calories yesterday, did some resistance training at the gym which I literally hate, and still got my steps in. Struggling to get into some kind of weight training as it's the cure for skinny-fat.

This is my 2nd round, and I'm really looking forward to reaching another mini goal.

Age: 38, until halfway through this round
Height: 5'9"
Historical SW: 251.6 lbs 9/14/2015
Restart W: 230.8 12/26/2017

R31 SW: 222.7 EW: 218.6

Goal: Release 2 lbs per round to reach onederland by Memorial Day weekend.
Ultimate Goal: 175 lbs, reevaluate at that point

February
17: 219.6 Not concerned about the increase. Way to much sodium yesterday. Corned beef is SOOO good though. I'm heading out for a 60 minute walk now and will focus on reaching my 100oz water goal today.
18: 219.7 Water, calories, macros, sodium, exercise were all on point yesterday. Count down to TOM includes little gains daily. Then, as long as I stay motivated and on track through a few days of cravings and actual increased hunger, there'll be a nice drop, releasing the little gains plus some.
19: 218.8... That's a pleasant surprise. No TOM yet. Managed a 15 calorie deficit, even having pizza for supper. 108oz of water. No exercise. I don't have high BP, but it does get checked everyday. I'm noticing that it's lowering as I consistently meet my 100oz water goal.

Disappointed in myself. Ate great until the very end of the day, but this is a new week!!

Lets do it again!! Round 2 for me. Good luck, discipline, and accomplishment to all!

**Round 32**
Heaviest Weight: 235 lbs/106.6kg (February 7th 2018)
Smallest Weight: 175 lbs/79.4kg (March 2009)
First Goal Weight: 220 lbs

R32 Goal Weight: 225-226 lbs

Daily Goals:
Drink 90-120oz of water daily; consume 1300 cal (amended - not time to change calories yet) and measure food; no added sugars/sweeteners; around 1500mg sodium intake max; get in 5000+ steps daily; do chi gung; sleep more than 6 hours nightly!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/17: 228.4 – The day’s events (brother coming back from Nigeria, Shabbat meal, and snowy/prolonged travels) produced a day where I chose to be highly mindful but not meal plan due to difficulties and wanting peace of mind. I am hoping that this did not take me back much, if at all. Water was still good and I got a full night of sleep! These don’t come around often, but/so I intend to stick to the plan on subsequent Saturdays!

02/18: 231.0??? (post breakfast and 24 oz of water) - Weigh-in might be a bit off since I went out of sequence and didn’t weigh first thing in the morning. Activity and water intake were lower than desired, but everything else was good so I am hoping for positive scale movement! Second night of having eight hours of sleep (if slightly interrupted) ! Not having a good place to walk around on days that I am not working or running errands is a challenge I will have to tackle so that I’m still getting some movement in. I am starting a new Ayurvedic supplement, so I’ll have to see how that affects things.

I’ve lost 10.8 lbs so far in 3 full challenges plus 3 days (started late on the first). I’m getting into better habits. I’m learning to “stop the bleeding” when I have a moment of “weakness” (I need to come up with another name for this… moments are normal). I’m loving this group, and I'm loving all of you just for being here. Without saying a word, you are a HUGE source of support for me.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/17 = 208.6 (-0.6). Let the good times roll. Even when I have a “bad” day, I’m always at maintenance or under (215 over calorie goal last night). And the bad days are becoming few and far between. Being accountable every day seems to be the ingredient that has been missing for all these years. I’ve logged for long periods of time in the past, but this opportunity to “journal” has been lifechanging. Had a glass of wine and a small dessert last night, but felt in-control the whole time. Going to the gym today to lift weights and do some HIIT. Light lunch, and then dinner and a movie with my wife and a couple of friends. Going to try to make healthy choices (or at least portion control) tonight at dinner. I'll see where I'm at with calories and decide beforehand if I want a drink.

02/18 = 209.2 (+0.6). Lifted weights yesterday, but HIIT didn’t happen (Got a little lazy. I miss basketball!). Ate light for breakfast, but had a surprise poke bowl from my wife for lunch. Had plans for dinner and a movie with my wife and two of her friends, but apparently there was some miscommunication regarding the movie, so it ended up just being dinner. I ate pretty light, but the food was decadent, and I had a drink. I’m having dinner tonight at my parents, which will likely include at least a drink or two. I’ll be happy to escape this weekend at my starting weight. This really is a constant challenge, but it’s getting so much easier to make good choices (and stop my bad choices from going too far and completely derailing me). This feels like it’s working, even if my weight does not go down every single day.

02/19 = 207.4 (-1.8). I think this number is a little exaggerated because I slept in 2.5 hours longer than ususal, but I’m mostly just really happy. Ate super light for breakfast and lunch. Had a standing rib roast with twice-baked potatoes and two margaritas for dinner at my parents' place. Plus it was my brother’s (my mom’s dog) birthday, so also a cupcake and a scoop of ice cream. I’m pretty sure I overestimated everything calorie-wise, because I really try to err that way if I’m not sure what I’m taking in. If I weren’t calorie-counting I would have eaten 2-3 times as much as I did. Of course, I didn’t, and I was completely satisfied.

Yay! We got a foot of new snow overnight and it’s still coming down, so we’re about to go do a workout by digging my Jeep out! Then heading to town to get supplies while we still can. Blizzards can’t stop us from staying on plan!
