DAY || WEIGHT - COMMENT AND GOALS

• 10/20 || 62,9 kg (138,6 lbs) – Very happy to see that number! I didn’t eat that much yesterday and didn’t binge either. I might need to lower my goal though if tomorrow is around the same number, because else there will not really be a “challenge”. Walked a lot today, went shopping, tried to put the last stressful couple of days off of me. I did have a McDonald’s again, but didn’t go for a burger and went for some Chicken McNuggets to save myself some calories. Hopefully my plan somewhat worked, we’ll see tomorrow! For some reason, my Fitbit didn’t record any active minutes today, but considering I walked quite a lot, I’m just going to give myself 25 minutes. [ 1,5L | 25 min ]
• 10/21 || 62,1 kg (136,9 lbs) – I went out shopping and ate A LOT. I did walk more so according to my Fitbit I stayed just under my calories, but then again it’s hard to estimate calories when you’re eating out. [ 1,75L | 70 min ]
• 10/22 || 62,2 kg (137,1 lbs) – I thought yesterday’s dinner would’ve showed up more, but glad it didn’t! I’m also going to change my goal from 62,7 kg to 61,5 kg for this round. I think now that TOM is over, all the bloating is gone or something, which would explain the sudden drop. That or the drinking more water is finally taking an effect. Either way, I’m not complaining haha! [ 1,5L | 53 min ]
• 10/23 || 62 kg (136,6 lbs) – woohoo! It won’t last though considering I had my cheat meal today (I actually ate too much and felt a bit sick afterwards), but still nice to see. Definitely feels like I needed more water today though. [ 1,5L | 83 min ]

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 168.6 lb midday after workout. No real struggles yet today. Those will come later today when hanging out with friends. But I didn't eat the candy at work so there's a plus!
10/21 167.8 lb noonish after workout. Good but most of my weigh-ins will be after eating lunch, Which I haven't yet. So I'm expecting a rise come Monday. But I wasnt tempted by bad food last night. Just one drink of gin, which filled out my calories for the day yesterday. Going good!
10/22 169.8 lb night 7:30 - after workout that was the increase that I thought was going to happen. But I had fries last night for dinner as well so I expected a high number. Also and lunch and dinner. It also went up a pound after my workout so who knows.
10/23 168.2 lb night 7:15 - after workout. Interesting that it went down that much. We'll see if it balances it's self tomorrow. No temptations today, so it was quite easy to stay on track. I've been trying to break a plateau of about 168/169 for a week and a half now so I'm hopeful!

Round 20 Goal weight 78.5kg
Fasting days completed 1/3

20/10- 80.9kg 'cheat meal' last night was basically just 4kg of salt on a plate. Hoping this is mostly water. Focusing on good choices today.
21/10- forgot to weigh in today
22/10- 80.1kg weekends are hard to stay on track so I'm happy with this, but keen to be back under 8-0 tomorrow.
23/10- 80.6 urgh another day going up. But on a positive note, my 'up' days are getting lower? Fasting today and going to aim for 20k steps so that should get us back on track for the week. Gawd weekends are SO HARD.

10/23:  155.6  Help!  I got attacked by a restaurant sodium bomb!!  Pretty pleased with my choices, though.  Had shrimp and grilled asparagus instead of prime rib and mashed potatoes, a sliver of steak, and three glasses of water to my one glass of wine.  Split a 1,600 calorie cheesecake four ways.  About 350 cal over goal.  Not too shabby.

10/21: 148.2 / I can't believe there was another big drop so soon. I met my fluid goal again. I also walked over 16,000 steps and biked for over 30 minutes. Stayed under calories and actually met my protein goal! Good day. Having sushi tomorrow, yum!
10/22: 148.8 /It was too good to be true! Oh well, I'll keep chugging along. Ate under calories today by my estimate...had a slice of chocolate, hazelnut and marshmallow pizza from Max Brenner, so had to estimate. Walked 14,000+ steps and biked 45+ minutes and met my fluid goal. Now let's see if I can keep it up during the work days!
10/23: 149.8 /And now I've gone above where I ended the last round, urgh! Well, I guess I'll keep chugging along. Didn't meet my activity goal today. Only got in 7000+ steps as the usually with my commute and a busy day. Stayed late at work today and ate the provided food. Stayed under calories and met my fluids goal. Here's hoping for a better tomorrow, scale wise!

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.

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 Rounds

Many 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.

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!

19/10/2017: 158.7 Goals ✅ Not what I had hoped for, but a loss nevertheless. This last 12lbs is so hard to shift!

Round 20: (Round 13 for me. Female, 5'2" aged 71, weight in lbs)
Round 20 Target weight: 157 Stay under 160lbs

Daily Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 15+ strength; 15+ flex; 8,000+ steps; close kitchen at 8.30pm!

20/09/2017: 158.6 Goals ✅
21/10/2017: 159.4 Goals ✅ except didn't close the kitchen!!! Just one night out on the town, and look what happens. Got the snack monsters when I got home!
22/10/2017: 159.2 Goals ✅ This is like watching paint dry! And the weekend isn't helping! Still, I have 5 more days before the next one hits!
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?

Day/Weight/Comment

R19 - 65.5kg


10/20 - 65.8kg - Ate at maintenance yesterday and needed a heavier carb day but am happy to see the bump up was quite small. I still don't trust that I'm in the 65s! Girls night tonight so expecting to be up tomorrow!
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!
