    "Don't be upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do." - Orebela Gbenga

    R22 * Start = 143.4
    R23 * Start = 142.0 * End 139.6
    R24 * Start = 140.0

    11/29 - 140.0 - up a squidge, got ambushed by work on an already busy day yesterday: got stressed, no workout, ate 600 extra calories ABOVE MAINTENANCE at the end of the day. Working on being really sensible and sneaking in some extra calorie burning (stairs at work!) today.
    11/30 - 139.4 - another tough day yesterday. No workout, to bed early, planning to get my mojo back on today.
    12/1 - 138.6 - lowest in over a year! Under calories yesterday and 40 minute workout, elliptical plus stairclimber. Sweating helps my emotional state SO MUCH.
    12/2 - 138.8 - under calories and ran 34 minutes yesterday. Think I am dehydrated, drink drink drink!
    12/3 - 138.2 - yesterday under calories, ran 30 minutes, stairclimber. Still dehydrated, working on it.
    12/4 - 138.6 - finally rehydrated - Yesterday under calories, ran FIVE MILES which is big for me now. Made the healthiest arugula pizza in the world.

    12/5 - 138.4 - ate just under my .5 a week loss calories yesterday, 30 minute elliptical. Awake since 3:30AM, not sure what's up, there goes my plan to cut out my energy drink at work :neutral: Have to be careful today, no time for a serious workout in the schedule.

    Age 60, 5'4" [lost 1/2" somewhere, not the measurement I wanted to lose]
    SW 195 [joined MFP Nov 2015, lost 9.5# & got serious Jan 2017]
    1st Goal 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    2nd Goal 145 = normal BMI
    UGW Range 140 - 145

    I weigh first thing in the morning when I get up. My scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day. Previous round EW 162.0 LW 162.0
    R20 SW 166.0 10/20/17 (my round 1)
    R20 EW 166.5 LW 164.5
    R21 EW 164.0 LW 163.0
    R22 EW 162.0 LW 162.0
    R23 EW 162.0 LW 162.0 = included parade day & Thanksgiving, no food/drink logged :wink:
    Round 23 (previous round)
    11/19: 165.0 Expected jump from parade day. Staged holiday parade in a.m. Gave myself day off from logging & to imbibe / eat whatever I wanted. Drank adult beverages, ate restaurant meal and treats at home. Totally worth it! Walked dog 2.83 miles in afternoon. Fitbit 14,794 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 hours and 19 floors.
    11/20: 163.5 Net calories red 18, sodium red 647 (ack) but sugar green (yay), 12c water. Walked dog 3.26 miles. Fitbit 13,815 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 29 floors.

    11/23 = Thanksgiving Day (US) 162.5 Walked dog 3.06 miles before work. Fitbit 15,055 steps, 250+steps 13/14 hours (one hour in church) & 40 floors. Net calories green & 12c water.
    11/24: 162.5 Weight is big surprise day after Thanksgiving. A day off from logging adult beverages & food for me, and ate what I loved (just not as much), limited wine to one glass. Felt absolutely stuffed after dinner, can't eat like I used to, which is an excellent thing. Ate very small pieces of pie (couldn't resist apple & pumpkin) later for dessert and no supper, just ate hard boiled egg for late evening snack. As planned, walked dog 3 miles before travels (had 5 1/2 hours round trip in car) & drank plenty of water = 14c. Fitbit 10,102 steps, 250+ steps 5/14 hours (yikes, that was sedentary) & 5 floors.
    11/25: 163.0 Net calories green (barely) & 12c water. Walked dog 4 miles & raked backyard for final time this year. Fitbit 17,908 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 hours & 46 floors.
    11/26: 164.5 Gave in to way too many Cheetos as evening snack w/ hubby & net calories / sodium very red. :p Non-dog walk day, lazy Sat. & movie date w/ hubby, felt good to have an easy day. Fitbit 3,851 steps (ack!), 250+ steps 7/14 hours, 6 floors & 10c water. Still, very happy to stay under 165, there is no target date.
    11/27: 163.0 Net calories green but sodium very red & 14c water. Walked dog 3.62 miles. Fitbit 13,663 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 33 floors.

    11/29: 161.5 Walked dog 3.09 miles before work. Fitbit 17,682 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom) hours & 36 floors. 14c water / not sure about net calories, had to guestimate for wine tasting and appetizers sampled at spa open house, totally worth it. :D
    11/30: 162.0 Happy hour w/ 1 pint beer & dinner at Mexican restaurant / net calories -810 (guestimated) and sodium sky high / 15c water. Walked dog 3.07 miles before work. Fitbit 13,444 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 38 floors.

    12/03: 161.0 Walked the Jingle Bell 5K with chip time of 44:37 and average pace of 14:22, beating my goal of 45 minutes. Woohoo! Then walked dog in afternoon 2.65 miles. Fitbit 19,155 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 hours & 20 floors. Net calories w/i 100 green & 12c water.
    12/04: 161.0 Net calories -110 & 14c water. Walked dog 3.27 miles. Fitbit 16,955 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 32 floors.

    12/05 185.4......I'm confused. Up & Down...almost 2 lbs in a day?

    Since my scale only has 0.5# increments, I can easily gain or lose 2# in one day. Usually depends on net calories being red vs. green, sodium & fiber content & amount of water I drink. Oh, and sometimes an adult beverage. :wink:

    @quiltingjaine Yes, the key work. Or, "release" if you prefer.

    The toughest part is that, in order to make my goal of 10% BF, I am losing fat plenty fast and lean mass even faster (I think). If this keeps up, I will lose ground and fail to reach that goal simply because of the percentage. I've been considering over the past week or 2 about how to substantially increase lean mass in a short time at the end, if needed. Guess what one of those potential methods would be...

    Jan 1 2017 226... I'm 5'6"
    Started R6 @ 177.1
    First Goal: 170 ✔️
    Next Goal: 159 ✔️
    Next Goal: Hit a healthy BMI 154.4'ish... Hit it once, now to make it solid!!


    End of R23 155.4

    11/29 - 155.4 ... (16,300 steps) Slept well, packed my lunch, but not sure what dinner plans will be.
    11/30 - 154.5 ... (14.790 steps) So my Grandmother passed away this morning, she was almost 95. I remember her laugh the most, she was always so happy to see us, always in a good mood. She had dementia the last 10 years or so and her quality of life wasn't very good lately. I hadn't seen her in some time, but would often think of her. I will miss her.... I love you Grandma xoxo.
    12/1 - 156.5... Too many sweets with tea and a little stress. Not really worried.
    12/2 - 157.7
    12/3 - 160.7
    12/4 - 160.3 ... Yesterday I did my first ever 5k race. I ran it in 36:49, I'm pretty happy with that number as I kinda stopped training for the run. It's a fun run called the Cinnamon Bun Fun Run and they give you a Cinnamon bun after the race, So good. I shared it with SO, who loves them (and me). I ate over cals for the last few days due to Grandma and wanted to give my body a few extras for the race. SO leaves for work in a couple days, I'll be better at cutting then. Need to see those 5's again.

    12/5 - 160.9 ... Ugggh but I still feel in control.

    Current weight- 147.84
    10 Day Goal: 146.34 I want to reach my 20lb mark by Christmas, which means I need to lose just over a lb a week.
    Day/Weight/Comment
    11/29- 146.08 A large drop but I'm sure it isn't going to stay. (just yet)
    11/30- 146.3 Cautiously optimistic about the weight loss sticking. I just realized today, I am right about a pound over the top "healthy range" bmi. Can't believe I am so close.
    12/01- 146.3 Walked to have coffee with a friend then spent the evening Christmas shopping.
    12/02-145.86
    12/03-145.86
    12/04- 145.86 I have maintained the low weight for several days now, but the next few are going to be difficult since I will be away from home. Weather permitting I will have time to get some walking in, but I will be stuck eating out.
    12/05-146.08 Very busy today lots of housework and preparing for tomorrow.

    UPDATE

    First time doing this! I'm newly pregnant and need the accountability to not gain too much too quickly. My goal for this round is to stay at my starting weight.

    Round 24/1

    SW: 156.7

    11/29 - 156.7 Ate healthfully, even though most foods sound terrible right now. Was still able to get some greens and veggies in (which isn't always easy). At the end of the day I caved and ate ice cream and peppermint Jojos (from Trader Joe's). It sounded awesome, but I felt immediately sick afterward. It was a want, definitely not a need for my body--especially since I don't typically eat a lot of sugar. Did a 60 min. circuit workout at the gym. Excited for a new day tomorrow!
    11/30- 156.9 So far, so good. Packed lots of healthy snacks and ginger tea for work. Hoping that the nausea subsides a bit. Planning to go for a 3 mile run on my lunch break.
    12/1 - Daughter's birthday. Good eating choices until the evening. We went out to dinner and I overindulged. Tasted great, but didn't feel awesome later. Had a wonderful workout this morning, though. TRX.
    12/2- Went for a run in the morning. Feeling great today!
    12/3 -159 (sodium catches up to you!) TRX workout.
    12/4 - 155.6 (Strange how much things change on the scale after a good night of sleep). Focusing on drinking water today and making choices to eat whole foods. Had a fun dance party with my kids this evening.
    12/5- 157 Again, scale fluctuation. I don't get it. Feeling pretty confident I can get through this challenge without gaining weight from my SW. Three more days!
    12/6
