Day/Weight/Comment
10/20- 150.48 It was a quiet day today. Came in under calories. Tomorrow I have another university visit with my son, so I will get some exercise.
10/21- Woke up early and forgot to weigh. Went to a university open day with my son. Did lots of walking. We ate dinner out, but I think I probably came in under calories.
10/22- no scale Realized this week is going to be difficult. We have another open day on Wednesday. Dinner was out again tonight. Should be under calories, but this is a total guess. Nervous to weigh tomorrow morning.
10/23- 150.7 Hurray! Hope I can continue to stay on track.

Need more water today, stayed up too late last night. Good on calories, veggies, OK on protein. Got a little exercise. No added sugar. I'm on a whoosh, I think interval running is giving me a larger calorie deficit than I'm accounting for. We'll see if it keeps up.
10/21: 167.0
Spoke too soon! This bump doesn't bother me, I am still 2 lbs down for the last week. Today was good, I found an excuse to get outside and walk during my work day, then went for a short run this evening. Good on water, calories, etc. No sugar today. I even turned down pizza.
10/22: 167.5
Hm, still went up and I was practically perfect Friday and Saturday. Imma be way up tomorrow, I went out to dinner and had all the butter in the world, went over my calories for the first time in ages, like halfway into tomorrow's calories. No dessert or cocktail, at least. Didn't have sugar today but I found a roll of breath mints (with sorbitol) in my desk and ate several, I always munched stuff like that like candy so I stopped buying them.
10/23: 168.5 Yeah.
For what it's worth, today was mostly on track. Though if yesterday was "B" for butter, today might have been "C" for cheese. Under calories, though. No sugar. [Note, my scale only gives me .5 increments.]

Pregnant & gaining average 1lb per week. Goals: hydration, vitamins, balanced macros, toning exercise daily.
10/20 157.9 lunch courtesy of the office meant unhealthy pub options, but I finally nailed my macros and had a good calorie count. Very bloated & even more thirsty than last week.
10/21 158.2 big lunch big dinner; still under calories. So many leaves raked - and I bet it'll be windy tonight.
10/22 161.7 A 'rest' day just with housework and dog walking.

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
Here I am back to try once more to shift my last few pounds.
to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has got me back on track big time!
Observations, and Previous RoundsMany events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it is coming off, bit by stubborn bit! Stick with it! The game continues!
A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:- 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.
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!

23/10/2017: 159.3 Goals ✅ I can live with that. It will drop soon! 159! You're going down!
24/10/2017: 159.2 Goals ✅ Food for thought. It occurs to me that this may be my maintenance weight. I have hovered around 159 for weeks, despite keeping to my calorie goal, (10% below my TDEE), and doing loads of exercise, (and eating back minimal exercise calories). I am in the normal range for my age height and build, so I am wondering if I am being realistic in my Target Goal Weight. I'm fitter and healthier than I have been for decades. I think fit and healthy should be my new focus rather than weight loss!
New Primary Goal - stay under 160lbs.

Half way update: Had a major work event over the weekend so I haven't been to the gym. My eating on Friday and Saturday could have been better and am starting to get annoyed about having to lose the same two kilos every week. Frustration is a good jumping off point to make healthier habits though, right?

10/21 - 66.6kg - as expected!
10/22 - 66.6kg - it's been a mental weekend. Working til 11pm both nights. Not a spare second to myself. Need to go grocery shopping and make some time for exercise tomorrow.
10/23 - 67.5kg - groceries done, lots of health food and no excuses. Glad to be back into a more normal routine. Not sure I'll make goal but would like to see my start weight for the round again.
10/24 - 66.4kg - Only half a kilo until I'm back at my start weight for this round. Low cals and lots of water to make up for the weekend. It would be nice to not be battling against my weekends constantly. I see a frustrating pattern here!

171.6 is my start weight this Round. I did weigh 202. I have stalled out. I'm not frustrated yet, but I'm sure the day will come when I am. I've reached a smaller, attainable goal that my doctor set of a 20 pound loss, but I decided to keep pushing myself until I reach my ideal weight. I've lost 31 lbs so far. I want to lose 80, but I don't have any particular goal this Round. It would be nice to see 169 point something though. I CAN AND WILL DO THIS!
10/20 no scale---(in KY for a 1-day trip...went to the Jack-o-lantern Spectacular in Louisville with my husband and our 3 children.) I went on a binge last night because I was told in order to get your body going again, BINGE. My weight will go up for 2 or 3 days, then boom. Let's see if it works!
10/21 No scale except the one in the hotel that's 30lbs lower than it should be. Sooo not counting it. Lol We are in Ohio now. We went to Jungle Jim's yesterday, and I did BINGE again.
10/22 173.2 and we are back home. I know its a big jump, but I honestly have no regrets. I've been on a strict regimen for about 5 months now. I deserved to treat myself when doing something I hadn't done in 20 or so years...ride roller coasters. We went to Kings Island yesterday, and I put in almost 17g steps. Now that I'm back home, it's back to the grind and shedding these lbs.
10/23 172.6 I'm hoping that this BINGE thing works because right now, seeing my numbers up this high when it took so long to get under 172 is SO NOT AWESOME!
10/24: 172...alright...the weight is coming back off now, but I want to see it get below that 171.6 mark. If I could get to 170 or lower, then I might believe this BINGE thing one day a week works. Lol

10/23 - 175.8 - super thrilled with that number. It's not much down but what a huge boost for my mindset. Yesterday was a complete rest day after my race on Saturday so I was LAZY!. Watched my intake and drank some water but certainly not enough. Now I'm off to the gym to lift and cardio.
10/24 - 175.4 - Moving on down. Drank lots of water yesterday and added the stair master into my workout. Can I just say, I feel like someone beat the fire out of me! Only way to get over that is get back to it today. 5 mile run, lifting for upper body and abs.....and yes more of the stairs.

19/10 - 194.6 - R 19 was better than round 18 but I am still chasing my lowest weight to date( 193.2 lbs) it would be nice to see that number appearing this round. I am still eating lower calories due to sciatica pain limiting my movement, but I am also managing to exercise more now that I was in the previous rounds.
20/10 - 194.8 - a great start, I was scared this was going to jump up to 197 again! .. oh for a round I don't see that number or above!
21/10 - 195.2 - still happy with this, had a drink last night so my cals were higher but still within budget, still drinking my water mon-Fri - I will be happy this round if I do not see 197 or above!! and ecstatic if I don't see 196 or above
22/10 - 195.4 - still happy here .. but seriously hoping it doesn't keep ticking up by 0.2 lbs a day :-/
23/10 - 194.4 - drinking water and still under calories
24/10 - 194.2 - now I am perfectly happy with it ticking down 0.2 a day

10/21 - 187.8 DH brought KFC home for dinner. I think it's still sitting undigested in my tummy. Stayed within calories but I think I absorbed all the salt judging from the weight gain.
10/22 - 187.2
10/23 - 188.4 OMG I need to stay away from alcohol! Sigh....
10/24 - 188.4 I have a question - I've had one period in the last two years, but the last few months I feel like I'm bloated and that I'm going to have one. Has anyone had these 'ghost periods' after menopause?

Hi Everyone!! Back again for your wonderful support and accountability. This group has kept me on track for the last 6 months and I couldn't have come this far without it!!
For the newbies....here is what my daily weigh ins look like over the last 180 days. It's not all down....fluctuations are NORMAL!!! Trust the process and the weight will come off!!!
12w5yhxxsudq.png
SW - 182.4 in March
GW - 145 - SMASHED this last round!!!
I will be continuing to check in here to keep myself accountable as I figure out eating at maintenance. I don't plan on decreasing my activity so it's all going to come down to calories at this point. I have some fitness/activity goals I want to achieve so weighing daily will continue to help me monitor where I am so I can make adjustments as necessary before things get out of hand.
10/19 - 144.2 - coming in from round 19
10/20 - 144.6 - normal fluctuation....had a small piece of cake at a baby shower at one of my client's yesterday and a glass of wine last night...kept calories where they should be at this point I think.
10/21 - 144.0 - Thought I ate enough yesterday...but went for a run in the woods with the dog and spent 8 hours getting the gardens ready for the winter and cleaning the house so I guess I underestimated a bit. I'll use it as a cushion for dinner out tonight
10/22 - 144.8 - went out for dinner last night and didn't get a lot of water in me so I'm happy to keep this under 145...we'll see what tomorrow brings, we have my son's hockey team over for a BBQ this afternoon so lots of treats available....
10/23 - 145.4 - Bleh...ate too much crap yesterday, upset stomach today...
10/24 - 145.6 - double bleh...feeling bloated and and I can't seem to stop shoving food in my pie hole...TOM expected today or tomorrow, at least it will be temporary.

I don't have personal experience with this yet (45 and peri-menopausal...cycles are all over the place right now...ugh) but I was talking to my mom a few weeks ago and she mentioned that she still gets some cycle symptoms and she had a hysterectomy in her late 50's (ovaries still intact)...so I think it could be a thing...hormones are strange that way.5 -

10/23 - 153.6 - I have a severe allergy to ragweed and it's been kicking my butt the last two weeks. I allowed myself to rest when I wasn't feeling well, but this weekend I started feeling a bit better and upped my program. Lots of exercise, lots of water, under calories. Seems to be paying off for now.
10/24 - 154.2 - this allergy situation is out of control....I have never had this many problems. I'm just exhausted all the time...had the luxury of sleeping 10+ hours over the weekend, but back to work yesterday and back to struggling to drag my butt around. No exercise yesterday but stuck to my food plan + 1 protein bar but still under calories. I've just started a course of steroid treatment so don't know what that will do to the scale or how I feel but I'm ready to try anything.

I've never done this before, but I'm in! I'll be out of town Wednesday-Saturday though. My husband and I are going to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal! But I could definitely use this as motivation for making good decisions while I'm gone!
Current Weight: 216lbs
Goal Weight: 165lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 - 214.3lbs - a better start than I was expecting, to be honest! I ate mostly well and was under my daily count by 240calories, but I had some bread last night with the stew my dad made when he came to visit and was worried my body might not have loved that. I'm happy to be at 214lbs, since that was my pre-pregnancy weight! My son is 11 months old but it's been a journey to shed that weight!
10/21 - 214.6lbs - Okay, I'm not really surprised by this. With my dad visiting for a few dats, we tend to eat out more than usual. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and a few bites of fried mushrooms that the table got for an appetizer. That's okay though. I just have to try to be more consistent.
10/22 - 213.2lbs - I'm so thrilled to see this. My whole issue with health has been bad decision making. Before, I'd be motivated for a short periods of time and then I'd get bored and eat my emotions by getting a box of some cheese snack mix. But I'm really trying to focus in on my decision making and yesterday at lunch tested that. My dad wanted to go to a wings place where everything on the menu is high in calories. Even their salads were 1000+ calories. But I didn't just get whatever I wanted. I studied the menu and added calories to make a better choice. And it paid off.
10/23 -214.3lbs - Darn. I trird to make good decisions, but my dad wanted to go out to lunch again. I got a salad and sweet potato fries, but I tried a piece if his pizza. And for dinner, my son stayed up late so I wasn't able to sit down and eat until 10. I HATE eating that late. I should have just gone to bed instead of eating! Gotta keep working on consistent better choices. My dad is leaving today, so no eating out!
10/24 - 213.4lbs - yay! Yesterday, I was on top of my food and water intake. I take a 30oz bottle of water with me to work and go home on lunch and refill it so I make sure that I get 60oz during the work day. I didn't eat out. Everything I did at home and I had dinner at 6 rather than 10. Tomorrow we're leaving at 4pm to head to Orlando, so I'll have to really focus on making good choices. It's hard to eat that great when you're at a theme park! But I can at least say I'll get a tooon of steps Thursday and Friday. We went two years ago and I had 35,000 steps in one day. Much more than my usual 6k on a work day.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20-191.8 I am really enjoying this downward trend. Everyday I expect it to level out and every day I am surprised! This means I've lost almost 16lbs total! I'm so thankful for this group and the daily accountability.
10/21-191.6 TOM finally arrived even though I was expecting it a week ago. Likely explains the quick decrease over the last couple days.
10/22 -191.8 - Exepected. Chinese buffet last night. I love dumplings... That is all...haha
10/23-192.0 - boo! Weekend fluctuations I guess. Happy Monday!
10/24- 191.8... it's really hanging in there. Really hoping to hit my goal this round. I've been so busy. I forgot to post yesterday, and have slacked in reading others posts. Can't wait to catch up.

ack again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years.

Oh, man, I really let go these last two days! My old habit of no self control reared its ugly head! Back home now and hoping I didn't completely derail myself. I also had TOM show up yesterday, so that doesn't help. Just have to get my frame of mind set again.
I understand that struggle with self control all too well. Especially around your TOM. Something about it just screams comfort food. And bloating... You've got this, though!! A few 'bad' meals here and there won't derail you as long as you focus on being consistent!

10/21 - 249.2 - Well, I gave myself a good birthday present. But it came at a cost. I was up all night with stomach issues. Here's to hoping today is better than last night!
10/22 - 251.8 - I took a day off from tracking, exercising, and eating well. Emotionally, I needed a break from the stress. No surprise on the scale. Tomorrow will be better, I'm back on track today
10/23 - 250.0 - Almost back in the 240s. Soon.
10/24 - 253.6 - Bleh. I was good for half the day yesterday. And then I wasn't. I need to get out of this funk.
