Round 13: (Round 6 for me. Female/aged 71, weight in lbs)
SW: 227; Lowest weight 7 Aug 2017: 161.4; Final goal weight: 147
Round 8: lowest, 162.0; highest, 169.0; mean, 165.5 (5 day holiday created overage)
Round 9: lowest, 164.8; highest, 169.0; mean, 166.8
Round 10: lowest, 166.0; highest, 168.0; mean 167.7 (166 on 4 days! I know I can improve on that!)
Round 11: lowest, 164; highest, 166.8; mean, 165.5 (-2.6 this round)
Round 12: lowest, 161.4; highest, 164.4; mean, 162.6
Round 13: lowest, 159.8; highest, 161.8; mean, 160.7 Very happy with this.
Daily Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 15+ strength ; 15+ flex ; 6,500+ steps ; close kitchen at 8pm!
Target weight: 160
10/8/2017: 161.8 (1.2 under Round 13 target of 163)
11/8/2017: 161.2. Very happy with this. Had some unplanned chocolate, but stayed under calories and met my other goals.
12/8/2017: 161.8. Oops! Finished the chocolate. Still under goal. Cause and effect.
13/8/2017: 161.8 Goals ✅
14/8/2017: 161.6 Goals ✅ Surprised at this as I had buns at my daughter's yesterday afternoon. But I had lots of exercise calories, too!
15/8/2017: 160 another steady sustainable drop. Goals ✅ Did an extra 30 minute HIIT session yesterday morning. It felt good.
16/8/2017: 160 I was expecting a bounce after the drop yesterday. Goals ✅ Another HIIT session done. Up to 10381 daily steps.
17/8/2017: 160.4 Normal bounce. Goals ✅ My leg muscle are rather sore, so will concentrate on upper body strength and light cardio.
18/8/2017: 159.2 My lowest in a while. Goals ✅ Off on a week's holiday tomorrow, but will take the scale with me. I'm in charge of catering, but there may be the odd restaurant meal, so next Round will be interesting.
19/8/2017: 160.2 Bouncy, bouncy! Lol! Goals ✅ So close to that target weight. Travelling today, so must keep focus!
20/8/2017: The quaint cottage floors are uneven, and my scale is all over the place! Trying to find a level area is impossible, so I'm sticking with yesterday's reading to finish out the round. I'm away for a week, so I'll give Round 14 a miss, and rejoin for Round 15.

Since I hit my target twice and even dropped below it one day, I'm calling Round 13 a win. Also 160 is my lowest weight in a long time, so it's a double win.

Have a Blessed Sunday!

I'm having another go, too! This is my 2nd round.

Goal weight: 61kg

R12 SW- 61.2 Final Weight- 61.8 Mean Average Weight- 61.8

8/11 62.1 Fair enough. I had a lovely treat day yesterday, full of sugar, spice and all things nice, and salt led the assault. It was worth it!
8/12 63.3kg. Midnight snacking, that is. Ah well. Had a fantastic couch to 5k session yesterday.Onwards and downwards!
8/13 62.9kg Lovely sunny day. Planning to knock all the treats this week on the head from... now.

Worked out how to do my first ever backwards roll yesterday, when I was doing yoga stretches, and felt really athletic. Need to post that in the NSV thread!


8/14 62.5 Hope the rest of it is water, too! Exciting day today- planning to buy some actual running shoes this week, and I might manage to fit it in today.
8/15 62.1kg Had great day yesterday, with no nibbling. Ate back exercise calories, but maintained MFP deficit.
8/16 62kg Exactly on point with calories and nutrition yesterday, and had a great day out with the kids. Went shopping, including to the shop they've been saving their pocket money for, went to opticians to order replacement frames for latest pair of broken glasses, and dropped in at a playground which incorporates outdoor gym equipment for the older kids/adults. I mucked around with a seated device that is rigged so you pull down your bodyweight with your arms, which hoists your seated self in the air. Lots of fun for me there, especially as I happened to be wearing the coolest, shortest-sleeved t-shirt I own, which provides visible evidence I have some muscle tissue there!

8/17 62kg Had a lovely active day yesterday. Only went over my exercise calories by 4 calories, which, as far as I'm concerned, doesn't count.
8/18 62.3kg Felt really lethargic and incredibly hungry most of yesterday, and went over maintenance by about 600 calories, so that's three plus days' deficit cancelled out. However, meh. Got my grip on myself back at midnight and went out for my 5k training session then, and if my dieting day had proceeded "better" and I'd gone out earlier, I wouldn't have been around at the right time to help someone out who needed it.
8/19 61.9kg. Over maintenance again, but I've learned to make tandoori flavoured chickpea and courgette burgers, and the kids ate them, so I'm going to focus on that.
8/20 62kg Good food day, but in retrospect, I was very sedentary, so probably was actually at maintenance. Did Cto5k and stretching, though.

R12 SW 204
R13 SW 202.6
the goal for this round is to get under 200lbs and STAY there

8/11 202.6 - still holding so pleased
8/12 200.6 - speechless
8/13 201.6 - still happy with that ...now to get under 200
8/14 201.6 -holding still
8/15 203.8- my brother is in a hospital, so not eating right as I'm not at home to cook ... still want to track my weight and trying to make healthy choices when I do eat
8/16 203,8
8/17 couldn't face the scale
8/18 202.9- was surprised but please - didn't eat well today - at a children's party with my daughter, so I know that that's going to have an effect on tomorrow's number
8/19 205.2 - not surprised
8/20 207.4 - so disappointed - I will try to get my weight under control next round

I love our little community that grew! I look forward to my cup of coffee and scrolling through the comments every day. I learn from our mistakes, am saddened by our setbacks and look forward to your victories possibly even more than my own. Welcome everyone to Round 13 which will end in a new moon and usher in a solar eclipse for a spectacular beginning to Round 14.

8/11 - 193.6 they should have a happy dance emoji!
8/12 - 193.4
8/13 - 193.8 another day under calories but felt like I was cheating for some reason, I think it's because I was eating the same as the family and not modifying it for myself except for measuring portions.
8/14 - 193.4 had my big drop so I suspect I'm going to stay around this number for a while. Be nice to see 192 before the challenge ends
8/15 - 193.4
8/16 - 193.4 look at me, Ms. Consistency! Waiting patiently for the whoosh...
8/17 - 193.2
8/18 - 193 This is cool..
8/19 - 193.2 I'm going to see 192 tomorrow lol
8/20 - 193 lost one pound this round. I would have liked to lose more but this is a drop and I stayed in the 193 for the whole round and that's my lowest weight in 4 years. I hope to see you all next round!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/11- 236 - New scale
8/12 - 233.2
8/13 - 233.4
8/14 - 233.2 time to get this moving
8/15 - 232.4 my body actually listened
8/16 - 231 I will take it until the scale tomorrow says otherwise. No bad news today. Plus I passed my exams so all is well in my world today.
8/17 - 232 still good. Let's see what the next 3 days can bring.
8/18 - 232 I switched to Centrum silver which has iron compared to wellwoman 50+ which doesn't. Haven't been able to go (lifelong issues there). May have to switch back if this continues because daily I consume 25-35g fibre and roughly 13-15 cups of water so that isn't the issue. 2lbs in 2 days...
8/19 - 230.8 I bought One a Day 50+ which has no iron but basically has all the nutrients as the Centrum which allowed me to go. I know .8 is going to nag at me until I see it gone but looking back at where I began on the 26th June.... I am soooooo happy.
8/20 - 229 I had read somewhere that you should change your diet every 10 days to reset you body. Apparently it might have some merit. I usually eat 2 protein packed green smoothies and veggies/protein lunch or dinner. Yesterday I cooked veggies/macaroni/stewed chicken - lots of oil, butter, ketchup and carbs were in it. I was thinking .8 was close enough and this was too delicious to miss. Plus last night was the best restful sleep that I have had in a long time. Next 10 days I will do it again and see what happens. If it's a fluke and doesn't repeat itself at least it would breakup the boredom of my meals give me a rest from cooking separately and that one day I am like everyone else.

SW: 249 (March 2017); CW: 232.4 (although my official weigh in on Monday was 231.8); GW: no idea yet but for this round I'd say 230.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/11 - 232.4 - up a little from my Monday weigh in but hoping to see that come back down by Monday
8/12 -232.6 - up just a touch, but took mom out to dinner last night so probably a bit of a sodium bomb; starting a 5k training program this morning and pushing water
8/13 - 232.4 - forgot to post this yesterday. Moving back down.
8/14 - 232.0 - moving in the right direction! This week I need to focus on my water intake. I've also started some running training intervals, so that may be causing me to retain a little water as its more intense than my usual walking. Hoping water and having a better week calorie-wise (I was over two days last week) will get me back where I want to be.
8/15 - 231.2 - under what my official weigh-in was last week! With careful eating and a little luck I might make it to my goal for this round.
8/16 - 231.8 - hovering up and down in this small range - hoping for a woosh soon
8/17 - 230.6 - hoping this is actually moving down finally; family reunion on Saturday will be my first real test of making good choices
8/18 - 230.6 - holding steady so this may actually be real; nervous about tommorrow - going to look at maintenance calories so I can try not to overdo it too much, but the hardest part will be tracking
8/19 - 230.2 - woo!
8/20 - 232.4 - back where I started this round; likely retaining water bc of salty foods at family reunion yesterday; hoping this drops tomorrow for my official weekly weigh in

This has been fun! Got so close to my goal but circumstances sort of prevented me from reaching it. I hope I'll do better in the next round!

SW - 260lbs
R12 - start 242.2 .... finish.. 231.0
- total lost 11.2lbs ( although i had been down to
233 earlier that week... so more like 2lbs)
Goal - get to 227lbs.
Start weight 230.2

8/11 - 230.2 - hard day as i was out of the house doing errands this morning and had a salad from subway and snuck in 2 cookies. Then I had to bring my son to emerge and ended up get a cheese bagel with butter and Greek pasta salad. Then for dinner I was so exhausted I made a premade chicken rice teriyaki frozen bag for dinner and a piece or pork chop. I think i drank 1 bottle of water so I anticipate a jump tomorrow due to salt intake. Tomorrow is a new day!
8/12 - 230.6 - I'm relieved it only went up this much! Back on track today. I'm planning on getting in at least an hour walk. Track all my food today. And drink drink drink to flush out any extra salt.
8/13 - 230.4 - not my lowest yet but close. Had such a great day today. Ate well. Tracked everything. Went on a 8.5km walk with a friend and logged 11700 steps! I'm looking forward to what the scale has to say about this tomorrow.
8/14 - 230.6 - I'm not letting myself get frustrated by staying the same because i know i am pushing my self in staying track in eating and exercise (it is also that time of month!). Today I walked to and from the gym - 5km - and did 30min cardio and 20 min arm weights. Feeling so great!
8/15 - 231.0 - still trying not to get discouraged although I did so well yesterday. Perhaps it's because I'm building muscle or TOM. I will work on getting more water in to help with any bloating. I am alsp at the gym again today so happy about going two days in a row. Hopefully all this work will show by the end of the week!
8/16 - 230.8 - I've gone to the gym 3 days in a row! Mood and energy increasing. Although the scale isn't showing it, I will count this as a win for this week!
8/17 - 230.0 - lowest so far. Woohoo. Slow and steady! Heading to the gym again today
8/18 -229.4!!! Woohoo I did it. Finally in the 20s. Hoping I keep going down and don't see the 30a again! 4 days in a row at the gym may have helped. Taking 2 days off to let my body heal a bit then going back on Sunday. Looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow!
8/19 - 228.4! All the hard work has paid off! So so happy! Hopefully I can maintain for tomorrow. I'm hoping to go for a nice long walk, otherwise I am still recovering for the aches from the 4 days at the gym. Looking forward to the next round!
8/20 - 229.6lbs - up because I allowed myself a couple treats while out socializing. I'm okay with this as i could have done a lot worse and proud I was able to portion control. I also know i will lose it within a few days! Looking forward to seeing what the scale will show for next week as i plan on going to the gym almost everyday!

UGW 140

10/8- 195.4 - <<< yay!!! .... muscles screaming in agony This is a new low

11/8 - 196.8 - I expected this ^^^ that was a big drop ^^^ possible dehydrated -- THIS is still a drop from the day before! sore muscles, cals are low by average, Rest day drank my 2L water
12/8 - 198.8 - strained a muscle, in my shoulder and calf, so I am assuming this is water retention just NO HIGHER
13/8 - 198 - muscles feeling a bit better, calf completely pain free today, shoulder still niggling 25 miles NO water
14/8 - 200.2 - WTH - I know its not "real" but *sigh* ---- Rest - feeling ill and bloated NO water
15/8 - 200.2 - still ill bloated and no water,
16/8 - 200.2 - NOT the number I wanted to stick at - how absolutely disheartening is this!!! went back to bed this morning in the hopes of waking up to a different number .. but NOPE the scales are hating me right now TRUST IN THE PROCESS - calories are fine but getting water down me is impossible, I can't stand the taste at the best of times, let alone when I am feeling ill. DRANK 2L WATER
17/8 - 198.8 - still a little ill but much better, choked down my water yesterday so I don't know if the number on the scale is a reflection of that or if its a reflection of feeling a bit better today, or if indeed drinking the water is why I feel a little better. the mysteries of the body!!! DRANK 2L WATER
18/8 - 198.4 - Actually I'm happy with this as I am down from the last round now, and I know that round was a really big drop, although I wouldn't say no to another 1lb in the right direction 25 mile on the bike DRANK 2L WATER
19/8 - 197.8 - even happier with this
20/8 - 195 - pretty sure this is a lie!!!!

Back for more accountability, support and sharing. Finished round12 at 144.4. Would love to get at 142.4 or below for this round. Total loss since March at end of round 12 = 18.5 #.

Day/Weight/Comment

8/11 144 READY, SET, GO! Nice drop. Went to gym yesterday. Good workout. Didn't get much sleep last night and got woken by 2.5 yr old grandson. Wish I had his energy first thing in morning. Ellip today and perhaps some stretching. Happy Friday!
8/12 143.8 Love it. I'm in the 3's again. Too tired to exercise yesterday. Played with grandson most of day. Probably go to gym today. I'll need to get some exercise in as going to a friend's for dinner and that means a couple glasses of wine. Thank goodness she is also losing weight and eating healthy/clean/low cal, etc. I want to see some steady weight loss this round. I'm due, I tell ya! Happy Saturday!
8/13 143 I don't think this is a whoosh but food poisoning last night and the attendant vacating of the stomach. What a way to stay under calories. Blahhhhh.
8/14 143 Happy to see it stay the same. Ate well yesterday, stuck to protein and veggies and champagne grapes. Yum. no exercise. Just recovering from being ill. Ellip today and hopefully gym. It's Monday, start of a new week. Go for it!
8/15 143 Yes! 30 min ellip yesterday as well as a great session at gym. Lowered bar on Smith machine to keep moving forward fitness wise. Ate too many carbs at dinner though. Tortillas and refried beans. Looking for an hour on elip and a drop tomorrow. Almost no sleep though so we'll see. Feel good and love that my capris from last summer literally fall off me. n Persist!
8/16 143.6 Understandable. No sleep night before last and watched toddler all day so ate more than usual for energy - which I think is a fallacy anyway. Some lemon water and exercise and I should be back down. I need to buckle down to reach 142.4 this round.
8/17 144.4 Big sigh. A couple of beers. Waaaater W! Well at least my yoyoing is lower. The march continues.
8/18 144.4 45 on ellip and some floor exercise and gardening... Need to regain my focus re food choices- I'm getting too many carbs. Going to amusement park today so I'll get some walking in. I need to get back to planning my day's meals and snacks again. Happy Friday all!
8/19 143.6 Can't explain this sudden drop (anymore than I can the upswings) but I'll accept. Rained yesterday so did 50 on ellip instead of amusement park and walked around farmer's market. Finishing this round where I started. I'm due for a whoosh. It's Saturday. Fix yourself something healthy and slimming. I'm going to do some eggplant parm that you don't fry but do all in oven. Sounds wonderful. Enjoy your day.

8/20 144.4 Back to where I started 10 days ago. Well, the good side is I'm not any heavier. On to round 14.

tlblanksfit

Round 12 (My round 1) was a great round for me garnering a 9 pound loss. Most of that was the loss of weight gained during vacation so I am not expecting those kinds of results for this round.

For this round I will set my goal to 156 pounds.

10 August - 160.1 weight at the end of round 12 (my round 1) - So ready to break into the 150s
11 August - 159.2 OMAD + No Meat
12 August - 158.7 Today ended up being a splurge day so I am expecting a gain in the morning.
13 August - 159.5 As expected - Glad I stayed in the 150's - back on track today
14 August - 159.0
15 August - 160.8 Was hoping not to see the 160's but I know it is water weight and will be gone soon.
16 August - 160.4
17 August - 160.7 A bit of after meal snacking last night but today's a new day
18 August - 160.7
19 August - 159.4
20 August - 158.4

Day/Weight/Comment
8/11 - Out of town with no scale and out of my exercise and food routine. Went over calories yesterday and very little movement due to seminar. One more day of this then back to my element so hopeful I can still meet goal for this round.
8/12 - 164.2 - *sigh* trying not to be too hard on myself for a less than a lb gain...no scale or exercise the last couple of days and more hungry than usual for some reason, although I did make good choices. Weekends are tough too food wise, so making a conscious commitment to lots of exercise and water and staying under calories these next two days.
8/13 - 163.8 - getting closer to where I started the round with a long workout, extra water and staying a tad bit under calories.
8/14 - 163.6 - everything on point yesterday. No time for exercise today so need to be extra conscious of eating.
8/15 - 163.6 - holding steady
8/16 - 163.2 - Hanging out around 163/164. Have time for an extra long workout today so maybe I'll break into 162.something soon.
8/17 - 163.2 - Dear body, I'm giving you permission to let go of a couple of lbs. Sincerely, me.
8/18 - 163.2 - Dear body, That's not funny, but I still love you. Sincerely, me.
8/19 - 163 - For a split second the scale said 162.8 then went to 163. I got on and off 3 more times but it stuck on 163. Not complaining though as I was over calories slightly yesterday but did well with girlfriends over for movies, pizza, and cheesecake. I had a salad with chicken and just a couple of bites of their goodies. Not likely to make goal for this round, but it's on today to get into the 162 something.
8/20 - 162 - Sweet! I'll take it.

8/11 143.6 So much up and down! 30 min. on elliptical and ate under calorie goal yesterday.
8/12 142.2 That's better. 30 min. elliptical and ate under calorie goal.
8/13 143.3 way over calories. theme park day
8/14 142.6 30 min. elliptical and under calorie goal
8/15 141.3 better! Surprised after eating so much on Saturday. Daily (nearly) elliptical paying off finally?
8/16 140.9 Finally moving down! Ate under calorie goal and 30 min. elliptical.
8/17 139.9 Wow! No exercise yesterday (Work +Back to School Night for daughter + Band event for son = no time) ate 100 over calories. It may be time to adjust the weight loss rate from 1.5 pounds a week to 1 pound a week. I actually had a free wellness check through my employer yesterday and found out my body fat is only 24.8% now, which is on the lower end of normal for my age group according to Kaiser. Also glucose level and cholesterol in the normal range! That is why I started this in the first place in July of 2016 when my doctor wanted to put me on cholesterol medication and said I was prediabetic. I am so happy with this! I will see the results of my fasting bloodwork (yesterday was nonfasting) next week at my regular annual appointment. I am so glad this has paid off in such a big way. My BMI was 31, obese, a little over a year ago, and now it is 22.6 (according to Kaiser testing) and 23 according to charts when I look it up on line, right in the middle of the healthy range. The dietary changes I have made in the last year have been so worth it!
8/18 139.3 Slightly over on calories. No exercise. Another very long day.
8/19 139.9 Changed settings from 1.5 pounds a week to 1 pound a week. Ate under calories and 30 min. elliptical.
8/20 140.4 Being 130something was nice for a while, lol. 30 minutes elliptical. Ate under calories. Changed calorie goal before exercise from 1200 to 1300 earlier this week. I wonder if I should change it back. My elliptical says I am burning 520 calories in 30 minutes, but I only count 350 and don't eat all of those back. It has a 300 cal, 400 cal and 500 cal 30 min work out setting. I always choose the 500 one. I know .5 pound is not a big deal, but I want to be well in the 130s to try to start maintenance.

I was so (negatively) focused on the move back into the 140s, I did not even notice it was the end of the round or acknowledge how successful this round was. Down 3.2 pounds this round (from day 1 to day 10) or down 2.1 pounds (from the end of Round 12 to the end of Round 13)! Either way this round was a success!
