Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 - 103.2kg - Whaaat? OK, I've been eating out since travelling, but there must be some hidden ingredients somewhere. My weight is definitely not going in the right direction
11/30 - 102.6 - again, a very familiar number but at least it's going back the right way...
12/01 - 102.2 - The eating was subpar today, too much caffeine, not enough water - will probably be reflected on the scales tomorrow. Traveling home today, need to be mindful of airport lounge food, too easy to indulge to ease the fatigue.
12/02 - 101.6 - I'm skeptical seeing how last night involved a party bash where pitchers of mojitos were involved. Indulged in too many sweet potato fries afterwards - I almost didn't weigh-in today (cowardly), but I joined this challenge for it's daily accountability after all! this is going to show tomorrow probably.
12/03 - 102.2 OK, this was this morning... and tomorrow will be worse. I had a carrot cake attack me from the right. It was completely unplanned. This is pure nightmare material
12/04 - 102.4 - Yup, not that bad, but I was apprehensive about getting on the scale this morning. I will have to keep it in mind on my journey - ignoring it is one of the reasons that allowed me to get to this weight in the first place.
12/05 - 102 - I had a serious memory lapse. I was upset seeing this number, I thought i'd lost only 200g - then I come on my trusty diary and find out the truth! I am happy to see this number. I ate my calories and drank more than my fill of liquids.
12/06 - 101.4 - So close to my goal this round!
12/07

Here I go with another round. Christmas celebrations have started already - lots of eating out so need to be extra good at other times.

Same Weight as start of last round. Another difficult 10 days ahead though - too much eating out. Goals are to make sensible choices, drink lots of water and not too much alcohol.

It’s been a tough weekend- too much socialising and not enough discipline. I’ve got 3 days of ‘normality’ before it starts again so plan to knuckle down.
12/05 139.5
I'm surprised by this drop (pleasantly!). Knew I hadn’t been so bad to justify yesterday’s rise so maybe I’m levelling off. Fingers crossed I can maintain this downward momentum.

SW: 90kg
GW: 57-59kg
R23EW: 63.9kg
R24GW: 62.9kg (Which was also my goal for last round)
11/29 - 63.9kg - I feel like I have dodged a bullet last round. Looking forward to being back on track for Round 24!
11/30 - 63.5kg - Woop woop! Going to focus today on meeting my water goal and will do a nice yoga session when I get in from work On another note, I finally feel like my vitamin D and iron supplements are working! Yay!
12/01 - 63.3kg - Kept my sugary treats down to 2 pieces of dark chocolate, had a delicious veggie-ful dinner and did half an hour of yoga. Feeling very saintly. Super exciting milestone coming up as well, which is keeping me motivated. Hope to share it with you all soon!
12/02 - 63.2kg - Creeping slowly down. Instead of getting frustrated I'm going to focus on the fact that I have lost weight on a Saturday, which is basically the unicorn of weight loss for me hahaha. Going to have an alcohol-free weekend and get lots of water in. I want to see a whoosh!
12/03 - 63.8kg - Well the plan was slightly derailed by delicious mulled wine but I'm happy to see my weekend high weight staying under 64kg. My mini-goal is still within reach!
12/04 - 64.8kg Hahaha see my comment on yesterday's weight. You have to laugh or you'll cry. I am blaming last night's three course meal at my mother-in-laws house!
12/05 - 64.1kg - Trying not to get discouraged by looking at on my average weight this round, which are my lowest yet. Yoga last night, light lunch and dinner planned today. Focusing on hitting that water goal too.
12/06 - 63.4kg - And I'm back in the game! That's what I have been working towards. I am taking a new approach to reporting for this challenge and was going to start next round but there's no time like the present. I am going to be focusing on more measurable goals and see how that goes. I've been aiming for these anyway but want to a bit more accountability. Goals (see above): 2/4
12/07
12/08 - Mini-goal: 62.9kg

11/29 - 153.6, I barely did this challenge last round. I’ve had company the last 10 days and I’m all out of my routines. But I’m still in it. Every day is a fresh start.

12/1 167.4 I am feeling like a yo yo here. Lol
12/2 166.4 I haven't been drinking water or anything else hardly since Mom passed. I've been really pushing it the last 2 days. I feel like I've been living in the bathroom.
12/3 167.4 I think my body really likes this number. I see it a lot. I did a lot of walking yesterday. It's the Christmas season, and our kids need normalcy. So, we went on our towns Christmas Walk and took the kids to see Santa. Maybe tomorrow it'll be back down.
12/4 166.8 We went and picked out our Christmas tree. It's HUGE! We also went to the drive in and saw some classics: Home Alone and A Christmas Story. Good weekend with my family, but I did cry a few tears last night. I'm missing Mom.
12/5 166.4 I was crazy, busy at work yesterday. My students had me hopping. Then, my youngest son and I went out and picked out some toys for the Toys for Tots drive at both his school and my oldest son's school. We do this every year. It's for such a good cause.
12/6 166.4 Had a great day at work yesterday. I'm loving all these Christmas themed lessons, and so are the students. I went to a baby shower after work also for a co-worker. She's having a little girl any day now. I am also battling some kind of a cold or something. A lot of the teachers and students are sick. I hope it passes soon.

12/01 190.0 Really pleased, but my weight can fluctuate a fair bit daily. Going to work on reducing the swings.
12/02 194.4 An unexpected jump. Ate out last night but went with a healthy option, no fries, etc. Will try to have an active day with a calorie deficit
12/03 192.8. At least the right direction. 1/2 hour running yesterday and hopefully another active day today.
12/04 191.4. I’m thinking Friday nights meal was more laced with sodium than I expected. Happy to be back at my start weight and hope to get down a bit in the next few days.
12/05 190.4. I’ve been eating right and exercising the last few days and would be happy to stay at this weight for the rest of the week
12/06. 189.8. Wow. This is the only the second time I’ve seen the 180s this year, so that’s the second in probably 30 years. Really pleased, but social event tonight, and main goal for this round is still day 10 < day 1.

11/29 173.8 Woo, day one! off to a great start with ditching some of this (water?) weight! I'm pretty hungry today but trying to drink extra water..
11/30 174.0 hormones are still acting wacky.. can we get on with it or what. I went over my calories, but avoided added sugar. Just had some extra protein bc I was so hungry all day
12/01 174.8 why
12/02 174.6 ok, I've about had enough of all this. At some point it has to give right? Plan for today: drink 20 oz of water before each meal. Stick to my eating plan: write it then bite it, weigh and measure.
12/03 174.4 Stayed under my calories.. Need to drink more water probably.
12/04 175.2 so yeah, this round is not going well either. Solid gain I don't have any challenging social obligations so this week should be easy food wise. Planning on going back to the tried and true meals to get back on a solid track. Just hoping for a whoosh soon.
12/05 173.2 Finally some movement in the correct direction. I'll take it!
12/06 171.6 Made it back to my pre-Thanksgiving weight, finally! Hope it sticks.

11/29 - 243.6 - My routine has been all kinds of out of whack the past few weeks. Today should be the return to normal, so I'm planning on getting back to my exercise and starting to eat better. I always draw such a hard line for myself and if I feel like I'm crossing it, then I just lose all self-control and go way overboard. Something I definitely need to work on!
11/30 - 243.4 - Meh. Trying to get myself together.
12/1 - 244.8 - Another day that was pretty good and then when I got home to the husband and kids, all progress was destroyed.
12/2 - 241.8 - I didn't eat well, but I got 12k steps and didn't have any late night snacks. I'm focusing on getting exercise for now, will work on food choices once I have that under control. But, yay progress!
12/3 - 243.4 - I spent 5+ hours baking Christmas cookies. Didn't track everything I ate and didn't get my exercise in. By the time I was finished, I was exhausted. Today will be better.
12/4 - 241.4 - Finally starting to turn it back around. Yesterday, I stayed within my calories, didn't snack at night, got my 10k steps and started running again. I decided I needed to start the C25K program again, so I got to that last night. I think when I was doing it last time, my foot pain was caused by not resting enough in between runs (I would do runs every day or two a day). This time I'm going to follow the plan exactly, even if I feel like I can do more. I don't want to endure that foot pain again!
12/5 - 245.2 - I got my 10k steps, but I didn't eat well. Yesterday was my day to not worry about food. Today I'm back at it and I'll be doing my second C25K run tonight.
12/6 - 243.2 - I got 10k steps again yesterday and did my second C25K run. Dinner wasn't great, but in the end my calories were in the green. I have decided to do the elliptical each day I'm not doing a run, to keep up the exercise.

I was not kind to my body during Thanksgiving week. Family visited the whole week so I really didn't work the plan. I'm back to running and lifting this week and it feels good.
Round 24 (3rd for me) Goal 169 - Goal met 12/1
Readjusted goal - 166.6
11/29 - 171.8
11/30 - 170.4 - YES! Back on track. Off to run a few miles and lift.
12/1 - 168.0 - Wow! I weighed myself twice just to be sure. I really think it's water weight. During Thanksgiving week I ate like crazy all week and my hands swelled so much that I couldn't get my rings off. And I really didn't drink water all week. I'm just glad to be back! I will be resetting my goal weight for this challenge round.
12/2 - 167.4 - Hard work pays off! Now to get through the weekend.
12/3 - 167.6 - Very pleased with today's results.
12/4 - Did not weigh
12/5 - 167.2
12/6 - 167.2 - Happy with today's weight. Need to push a little harder if I want to make my readjusted goal.

My goal is to reach 10% body fat by year end... actually by 12/30 because that is when my Dexa is scheduled. I'm going to list weight and BF% based on my scale, which is going to fluctuate at times as diet changes. On some days - and I know when those are based on diet - it will be inaccurate.
Round 22:Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/9 - 149.6 lbs. - 16.8% - scale is reading higher than actual BF%
11/10 - 148.4 lbs. - 15.9% - scale is still higher than actual BF%, but getting closer to actual
11/11 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.9% - scale is higher than actual BF%, this time not expected
11/12 - 148.6 - 16.8% - scale is still showing higher than actual BF%, still not entirely expected. I have a theory as to what is driving the incorrectly high BF%.
11/13 - 148.6 lbs. - 18.5% - Yesterday was a re-feed / glycogen replenishment day. I'm surprised weight did not also increase, but expected BF% to be unreliable. I expect it to remain that way for the next 2-3 days.
11/14 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.4% - Depending on whether I eat a lot of fibrous green vegetables today, BF% will either stay pretty stable by tomorrow morning or will decrease. I may find it hard to feel full without lettuce or green beans... but since scale BF% is just artificially high if I eat them and real BF% is not truly much different, I'm probably going to eat greens if I'm hungry anyway.
11/15 - 146.4 - 15.6% - No veg yesterday, scale is closer to a correct BF%.
11/16 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9% - No veg yesterday again, and BF% is almost right where I would expect Dexa to come up. The idea that eating low carb green / fibrous veggies would affect the scale BF% so much is a relatively new revelation. Thinking back, the last Dexa was 0.3% lower than the scale on that same day (that is extremely close); and my scale is ALWAYS higher than any other measurement method or device - including other bio-electric impedance devices, which are always super low. When that last Dexa was taken and it was almost the same as the scale, I had not eaten plants for 45 days prior (except coffee, tea, and small quantities of seasonings and sauces). I still plan to eat some low carb (net carb) fibrous veggies while I continue to strive for 10% BF by 12/30, but will do take breaks occasionally to get a better idea of where Dexa will come in.
11/17 - 147.8 lbs. - 13.9% - Slight weight increase, not sure why... probably water weight. Another day without veg and BF% is spot on as close as I'm going to get to being real. Tomorrow is going to be high again based on today's planned diet.
11/18- 146.0 lbs. - 15.4% - Did not expect weight to decrease, but expected reported BF% to rise.
Round 23:Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/19 - 145.8 lbs. - 13.5% - Did not expect BF% to drop this much this fast.
11/20 - 147.6 lbs. - 16.2% - Both increases were expected based on yesterday's food plan. Should see decrease over the next few days until Fri. morning, which will go back up again.
11/21 - 147.0 lbs. - 15.7% - Expected a small decrease. Expect another small decrease tomorrow.
11/22 - 146.6 lbs. - 15.3%
11/23 - 145.6 lbs. - 14.8% - Will be higher tomorrow.
11/24 - 147.2 lbs. - 14.4% - Did not expect BF to decrease, but maybe that is delayed...
11/25 - 145.8 lbs. - 15.2% - There is the delayed fat storage.
11/26 - 145.2 lbs. - 15.7% - Did not expect another rise in BF%, but I can only assume it is continued delayed fat build. Tomorrow will be higher probably of both weight and BF.
11/27 - 146.4 lbs. - 17.0% - Increases expected.
11/28 - 150.4 lbs. - 14.6% - Had a spontaneous free meal yesterday and paying for it with weight gain - meal itself was probably around 4-5 lbs., including water in food... so this is about right.
11/29 - 149.4 lbs. - 14.9% - For this round, I'm going to make a few changes. I'm not sure exactly what to expect at the beginning, but should have lower BF% by the end of the 10 days.
11/30 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9%
12/1 - 144.4 lbs. - 14.7%
12/2 - 144.8 lbs. - 13.3% - I'm thinking this is about right again for BF%, but let's see if that holds for the next few days without changes that affect the scale calculation.
12/3 - 142.2 lbs. - 16.1% - BF definitely reading too high, but not sure why this time.
12/4 - 143.2 lbs. - 16.2% - Definitely unexpected BF... consistent with yesterday, but still incorrectly high. Unsure why.
12/5 - 140.4 lbs. - 14.9% - Some time in the bathroom this morning revealed what I think is causing the suddenly abnormally high BF% (no, not pregnant, lol). Solved part of the issue this morning, but still some to go.
12/6 - 140.2 lbs. - 12.9% - Before measuring today, spent a bit more time in the bathroom getting rid of more of what is causing the false high BF% readings.

11/29 - 194 heh, I had a huge dinner last night and did weights at the gym. I'm surprised it isn't worse.
11/30 - 193.6 Cardio yesterday, did eat out again, but it was much more restrained.
12/01 - 193 Much lighter dinner last night.
12/02 - 192.6 I thought it'd be up because I did some weights yesterday. Might still be shedding some holiday bloat.
12/03 - 192.6 Had fun going out and doing a bunch of walking and some bike riding yesterday.
12/04 - 192.6 Had an unplanned large dinner last night, but holding.

11/29 - 145.8 slow and steady! Ate within calories and had a green salad for lunch changing my goal for the round to 144. Need to have a bit of a push/goal for the round.
11/30 - 145.2 decent day yesterday. Went to the gym and ate within calories. A bit surprised I didn’t have some extra water retention but I’ll take it
12/01 -144.4 not sure where this came from, but ok. Maybe it’s my gym day showing up. Did some extra walking last night aka wandering/shopping at a huge craft sale so that also probably helped.
12/02 - 145.6 late weighing so this is probably out of whack. Had a dog competition all today and totally forgot this morning.
12/03 - 145.0 although I had a busy day yesterday we ended up going to the pub for dinner so I expect an increase over the next couple of days due to the beer and salt. Hopefully I didn’t completely derail things. More dog competition today so lots of movement at least.
12/04 - 146.2 Ugh! That must be Saturday night showing up. Hoping that goes away soon. Got lots of steps in from the dog competition. Also did pretty well for calorie intake as well. Went for the salad option for dinner hoping to make up for the pub on Saturday night.
12/05 - 146.6 Another rough day. I need a better plan for eating when friends want to go out to the pub. I want to hang out and I ate a small dinner before hand (in the hopes of saving calories and money) but I still felt obligated to order a drink and an appetizer which of course is sodium heavy with the limited pub menu. Oh well salad for lunch today and hopefully that will help put me back on track.
12/06 - 144.8 finally I think I got over my pub blunders. Green salad yesterday for lunch for the win! Very pleased with this number. Now to keep it up for the last couple of days of the challenge.

Greetings wonderful people!! Here we all are again! Welcome new friends...you're going to love it here, it's an awesome group, I wouldn't be where I am with my fitness goals without it.
SW - 182.4 - March 2017
GW - SMASHED it in October and now I'm working on maintaining under 145
11/28 - 146.2 - I had a major sodium and muscle repair water weight jump to end round 23...rolling 7day average from my Garmin app was 143.5
Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 - 144.0 - Coming back down. Ate and hydrated well yesterday but was still really tight in my legs from that brutal workout on the weekend. Finally feeling back to normal today so might see how the trails in the bluffs are after this warm snap and take the dog for a run this morning.
11/30 - 142.8 - And it's back where it should be. So crazy how the scale weight can fluctuate so much when all I did was change how much sodium I consumed and did too many lunges.
12/01 - 141.2 - I keep settling back here even though I'm not trying to get this low. Ate around maintenance yesterday...or so I thought...pizza and beer helped get the kcals up.
12/02 - 142.8 - back at this number...that's ok!
12/03 - 143.2 - didn't get much water in yesterday.
12/04 - 143.8 - indulged a little bit over the weekend...back on track today
12/05 - 144.2 - bloated this morning...not doing well with the water intake lately. Cals were good yesterday...active day at work but I haven't gone for a run or picked up my kettlebells in a few days.
12/06 - 143.2 - not puffy this morning...

I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance/refeed for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. I want to offset hormonal changes that occur when losing weight for extended periods of time that can make it harder to lose and maintain weight and I'm hoping to alleviate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/29--222.2 Still bouncing up and down. Need to mentally stick with it and not let the number on the scale derail my efforts.
11/30--221.1 Went out after work and had a couple of drinks, which I rarely ever do. Got home and fell asleep at 7 without eating any dinner. Feeling a little foggy this morning, I don't expect to get much done at work today.
12/01--222.6 My manager's retirement lunch was yesterday, so between extra sodium from lunch and the fact that I barely drank anything yesterday, this bump in weight was totally expected.
12/02--221.5 Up and down. Getting back to plan. Eating at maintenance today. Going hiking today.
12/03--223.5 Ate at maintenance yesterday. Going to kettlebell today.
12/04--223.6 Ate at maintenance yesterday.
12/05--221.5 Lost the water weight from eating at maintenance this past weekend. Finished W5D2.
12/06--220.4

11/29 223.5. I know holiday time is hard, so I'm trying to be kind with myself. I'm verifying today as a new start. I need to get back on track. I'm going to start keeping track of my exercise here as well. I do it in my food log, but if I'm putting it out there, maybe I'll actually do it in a regular basis! I've promised myself a new hair do when I make my first weight goal, so let's do this!
11/30 223.5 Exercised for 10 mins. yesterday. It's a start. Today I'm shooting for 20 mins.
12/01 223.5 Exercised for 20 mins. yesterday. Going to try to make it 30 mins. today. Drank 2 liters of water as well, but want to increase that to 3 today.
12/02 222.4 Going down! Only exercised for 5 mins. yesterday, and still only drank 2 liters of water. I was having a lot of fatigue, so just wanted to rest. Going to take a walk today for about an hour. Will increase water to 3 liters.
12/03 222.4 Took an hour long walk yesterday around town. Didn't quite manage 3 liters of water, but came close. I will take another long walk today, the weather is very nice right now! Thinking that my husband and I will also head to the archery range!
12/04 222.4 Took a 45 min walk in town. Went to the archery range with my husband. Did some shopping for him and visited the inlaws. Didn't get enough water, only about a little over a liter, and ate poorly all day. Still, was under calories so I will take it!
12/05 222.4 My husband and I did lots of running around yesterday, so didn't get any real exercise in. Water consumption was terrible. I ate pretty decent yesterday, so overall things were ok, but could have been better.
12/06 222.4 Still here. I'm struggling with getting exercise in on the days that I work. I have to remember even just five minutes is better than none. Water consumption was better, but not where it needed to be.

Still faking it. But I am here.
11/29 - 220.7 - Just a special thank you to those of you who have taken the time to send me a message with your encouragement, personal stories and support. I appreciate it and I will get back to each of you, I promise! I also appreciate and thank those who have sent me private mindful support with your thoughts, I have heard those words too and am so grateful! Such a wonderful group who rallies when we all need it!
11/30 - 220.9 - Bought an elliptical yesterday! Woohoo!
12/01 - 221.8 - Feeling the fire of a reboot in this last month of the 2017 season. Will be hunkering down in the next 30 days to jump start the new year with motivation and success behind me. With holidays approaching and temptation lurking, I have to make those conscious decisions and find my determination again.
12/02 - Woke up to the most pain in my right (also dominant) arm/across the top of my chest and went to emerg. They think I pulled something but otherwise x-Rays ok. In the meantime I am in constant pain.
12/03 - Recovering and trying to get stuff done. It's crazy how so many movements use a variety of muscles that criss cross around the body. Moving slllloooowww.
12/04 - 225.1 - I guess this is what happens when you become a sloth...
12/05 - 225.7 - No! I say no thank you!
12/06 - Woke up to no power - relieved I forgot to weigh in so I don't have to confirm the terrible incline I seem to be on...

This will be another challenging round. I had surgery (cosmetic) on the 29th, and spending the next week recovering on oxycodone. I’m not allowed to do any strenuous exercise for a week, doctors orders. I'll have to be extra clean with my diet to compensate. Looking forward to staying 100% compliant during my recovery. No alcohol. Consistency is key.

12/01 - 224.2--- Treatment day yesterday, which meant "big food day" to keep meds from upsetting my stomach. I was too exhausted to cook but, nobody said I had to eat Zaxby's, nibble on chips, nor eat candy all evening .
12/02 - 223.8
12/03 - Sidetracked this morning and did not weigh.
12/04 - 223.4 this morning, then I spent 3+ hours in the yard getting up LEAVES. Everyone else"s leaves blow in my yard and sit there. Jumped on the scale out of curiosity when I came in the house and saw 221.8 . We all know the deal though---refueling and hydrating will land me back at 223.4
12/05 - 222.4---My yard had me sore and exhausted so, I wasn't very hungry yesterday at dinnertime.
12/06 - 223.2----up and down, up and down
