Round 25 Goal: Low 106s - Annual Goal is 105.
12/9 106.9
12/10 106.7 Over my calorie goal but finally exercised. I do best NOT adding calories to intake when exercising.
12/11 106.9 Made time for a little jump rope yesterday. Beautiful Weekend!
12/12 106.6 Nice but I know I over ate yesterday. So . . . hopefully I can make today a little better than yesterday.
12/13 106.5 My favorite radio station - 106.5 the end !!!! Not my end but happy to be here (again).
12/14 106.8 Over Calories - again. Will make a good plan for today.
12/15 107 Nailed the Calories so this number is not reflective of my yesterday. Only 3 more days!
12/16 105.8 hmmmm. I think this means I weigh between 106 and 107 now (if anyone asks).
12/17 106 Gotta hold on !

12/9 204.8 Woo hooo!!! I’m back to losing.
12/10 205 I didn’t have enough water yesterday. A lot of tea but I guess it’s not the same. Oh well, I’ll make up for it today
12/11 204.4 YAY going back down I was worried bc I had a cheeseburger yesterday but I worked out to make up for it.
12/12 203.4 but I’m skeptical bc I barely ate yesterday so it might be temporary... I won’t get too excited. Either way it I’m close to getting of the 2’s!!! [/quote]
12/13 202.6 wooooo hooooo I’m still heading down!!!! I’m excited [/quote]
12/14 202!!!!! Wooo hooooo I hit my goal for this round!!!! Yeeeesssss!!!! I could almost taste the 200! [/quote]
12/15 203 ok so I went up, I’m not going to let it brake me... I’ll keep going but I’m wondering what did it. Either going out to eat, even though I stayed within my calories or ??? Btw, spot

12/09 147 I have a full day ahead and do not feel well! Stupid cold or allergies??
12/10 147.5 Crazy busy yesterday! Community breakfast bingo, three basketball games, Christmas lights at the museum, dinner at a casino buffet before free music in the lounge. Did not drink enough water!! And I’ve pretty much lost my voice.
12/11 147 Did nothing yesterday. Trying to recover from Saturday.
12/12 146 I am feeling better but this is a crazy week. Grand-girls have basketball 2 hours away today. Must remember to drink, drink, drink!
12/13 146.5 After checking for restaurants online before we left for basketball yesterday I felt confident I would be able to eat on plan. LOL Lesson learned, the internet lies! I should have made some tuna salad and hard boiled eggs to put in the cooler! I did drink 3 quarts of water or more.
12/14 146 And so the feasting begins! Community Holiday Dinner tonight.
12/15 148 Expected. I ate, drank and was merry! Community Arts & Crafts Christmas luncheon at Olive Garden today.
12/16 148.5 This is still expected. It will be 2 or 3 days after the food fest before my weight stabilizes and since there will be food prepared by others this afternoon, I will do my best. Yesterday I had grilled chicken parmigiana at Olive Garden. Half at lunch and half for dinner. I got broccoli instead of pasta and 3 servings of salad - no croutons. Heading to the rodeo- our dentist is a roper! Cocktails and Crafts meeting and lunch
12/17 148.5 Yesterday’s food fest - Zucchini lasagna, berries, Keto pumpkin cake trifle, vodka and diet cranberry cocktails! More vodka with soda water at the casino. Have NOT had enough water the last 2 days. Today’s activity will be coughing as drainage is tickling my throat and nothing seems to help!5 -
]Hello!!! Looking forward to another 10 days with all of you!!
SW- 182.4 in March 2017
GW - 145 - smashed this mid October
My daily weighing has taken on a new purpose as I enter my 3rd month of working on maintaining my weight under 145...so far so good!!
12/08 - 144.4 - coming in from round 24 with a rolling 7 day average of 143.5lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 142.6 - a little dip...
12/10 - 141.8 - I'm starting to figure out my high-low pattern...as long as the average stays the same it's all good. Today is family cookie baking day...I'm not so much worried about the cookies as I am about the Chinese take out we always have because no one wants to make dinner after all that baking...
12/11 - 143.0 - not bad considering how much beer and chinese food I had yesterday...
12/12 - 143.2 - normal little upswing...
12/13 - 142.6 - normal little dip....although my 7day rolling average is down to 143...so maybe it's a downward trend....will keep an eye on it. I don't feel like I'm eating at a deficit but I've been working extra days and I get tonnes of steps and flights of stairs in there so I may be burning more than I think.
12/14 - 143 - had Christmas lunch after working in the showroom with my client's staff today...we'll see what tomorrow brings to the scale...
12/15 - 142.8 - thought it would be up, might be up tomorrow. Going to trust the rest of the neighbourhood has packed down the trails and take the dog for a hike in the bluffs this morning since it's a "bit" warmer than it has been (-8 vs -28 Celsius)
12/16 - 143.4 - TOM arrived yesterday....feeling a bit bloaty. Neighbourhood Christmas party tonight, I'll try to be good but still enjoy some treats.
12/17 144.4 - TOM and too much wine

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
12/09 - 222.0 Eating at maintenance today. Going out for afternoon tea!
12/10--221.5 Finished W5D3 yesterday and other than having to stop to pick up my dog's business, I ran the whole 20 minutes. I'm very surprised of the drop in weight today since I ate at maintenance yesterday and I was definitely expecting a temporary weight gain. Eating at maintenance today. Off to kettlebell class.
12/11--223.1 There's the water weight from eating at maintenance yesterday.
12/12--222.2 Going to kettebell class today.
12/13--222.2 Had a great kettlebell class yesterday. Doing W6D1 today. I have to make sure that I keep hydrated today.
12/14--221.3 Really sore this morning. I'll probably do some stretching/using the foam roller tonight and make today a rest day. I'm still working on making sure I keep hydrated.
12/15--221.7 Normal fluctuation. Back to a downward trend.
12/16--221.3 Going to kettlebell today.

12/9 - 244.2 - Ugh wine.
12/10 - 246.4 - Spent yesterday hungover, eating, and not exercising. This scares me. It's been over a month since I've been this heavy. I. Have. To. Change.
12/11 - 246.2 - I did my C25K W2D1 run yesterday. If I had had my food under control, it would have been a bigger loss. I'm trying, but being out of my routine is killing me.
12/12 - 243.6 - Thank goodness. I was really starting to panic that I was rapidly approaching the 250s again. Tonight is my run, so hopefully I'll have more loss tomorrow!
12/13 - 243.4 - Talk about being out of my routine! Spent 2 hours yesterday with the adjuster and contractor. But, I still did my run and I felt pretty good when I woke up this morning.
12/14 - 242.6 - I have not been doing anything about food. I know I need to get after it, but it's just so hard for me when I'm not in my normal routine. Between everything going on at work, the roof, and the holidays, it's not likely to happen until after the first of the year. I'm keeping up with the running program. That's the absolute bare minimum I'm expecting of myself. Then, if I can't get food under control before then, in January I will redouble my efforts there.
12/15 - 240.0 - Gotta keep this trend up! Did my run last night, felt really good afterwards. Tomorrow I'm celebrating Christmas with my family, so hopefully I can stay on track!
12/16 - 244.0 - Sigh. I've been wanting chips and salsa for over a week and I gorged myself last night. Definitely paying for that...
12/17 - 246.0 - This weekend has been bad...
12/18 -5 -
MFP start weight - 223
53 years old. 5'8"
We have a family Christmas dinner on the 17th and I have not seen some folks for a year. Good motivation to keep going. I'd like to lose a couple of more pounds prior to then.
12/8 - Round 24 EW 166.2
Round 25 goal 164
12/9 - 165.2 - What a nice start to this round.
12/10 - 166.2 - Oh boy......no workout, no water and dang that homemade apple cobbler I made sure was good.
12/11 - 167.8 - Good grief, this is not going very well!. It's all on me though. Another day of no workout, no water and basically just laying around being a bum. It's not something I do often but sometimes I just need the down time. Leaving in a few minutes to run, lift and stair master. I have a day full of errands, projects and farm work this afternoon. Tomorrows weigh in will be much better!
12/12 - 166.4 - Yes!!! Going in the right direction now. Gym, water repeat.
12/13 - 167.0 - Well fire.
12/14 - 167.2 - Perhaps those two glasses of wine weren't such a good idea. Off to the gym to correct the error of my ways.
12/15 - 166.0 - This is one happy lady right here. Now to stay focused to meet my goal.
12/16 - 164.0 - WooHoo!!!! At my goal weight for this round, now just to hang on. Push the water and be mindful of my calories today. I don't normally exercise on the weekends, but I may try to get a run in later.
12/17 - 163.2 - Good stuff. Sorry to say it won't look that good tomorrow. Just got back from a family Christmas dinner and I ate lots of good stuff. I'm paying for it as I feel like garbage.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 100 - would it really be too much to ask for a little less this morning? I truly didn't want to see this number. I went over my steps yesterday but didn't have time to eat enough. I even ate right before bed to get some extra calories in... but once Fitbit had calculated my steps, I was still very much lacking calorie-wise. OK went back in edit mode - I lost 400 grams (almost a pound), so I'll shut it!
12/10 - 100.8 - ok 800g overnight (1.6lbs) - day entailed too many carbs, drank my water, hit my calories though! With Italian dinner, birthday cake, etc. The problem being today is just the same with another birthday to celebrate. Oh well that’s life I guess... I have a week to compensate. I’ll end with a very positive note though, as I’m am officially overweight
12/11 - 102.6 - I hyperventilated seeing this number (5.7lbs in 2 days), but as there is NO way I ate that much, I'll say it's the sodium, water retention etc. I have a week to redress the situation!
12/12 - 101.8 - I always wonder how long it takes to reset the water retention balance... obviously it's not overnight, but what 2? 3 days? It's definitely something to take into account when you don't weigh in daily!
12/13 - 101.2 - i didn't succumb to the gingerbread cookies, but woke up (very early) so hungry! that rarely happens to me
12/14 - 100.4 - All I can say is that I do not understand my body! Yesterday I woke up hungry at 4 a.m. and my day was just one complete food fest. I ate my planned calories, I ate my added Fitbit calories, I ate so many gingerbread cookies I feel I made up for the day before's efforts... I ate chickpea chips (100g) full-on fat and carbs and chocolate. I drank about 6l of water throughout the day and I lost over a pound?
There are some days I'm so good and I feel I don't deserve the (STS or gain) numbers on the scale - but today I was afraid of stepping on the scale and it did not reflect yesterday, I also feel I don't deserve these (positive) numbers
12/15 - 99.8 - and this right before the weekend! Note to self - keep out of the cookie jar!
12/16 - 100 - And a bounce back up... Not enough sleep, way too much sodium, pizza involved -it's OK as long as I tread carefully this weekend and THAT my friends is not a given!
12/17 - 100.2 - My post disappeared ugh! long story short, yesterday was pizza AGAIN. Drank plenty. Hit my cals more or less - just the fat was sky high. I'm really being very careful today though
12/18 - 99.8 - So weigh-in after weekends, not as bad as it could have been considering the fat and sodium intake which occurred, but it's in the right direction7 -

12/11 167.4. Closed 2/3 activity rings! Yoga&meditation. Drove instead of walked to lunch just because I couldn’t find my hat (and motivation!) I could do better.
12/12 164.3 1/4. Awake so early, really lagged this afternoon but did get out with the dog. Hoping to make a pool class tomorrow. Feeling so upset, being alone and trying to get stuff done while I am still mobile.
12/13 162.5 4/4. nailed the goals today without even trying.
12/14 166.0 4/4. Lowered expectations = goal slap. Yoga, sadly, isn’t getting any easier. The body is forgetting muscle memory.

12/17 164.1 So sugar....ate healthy all day then raided the baking chocolate chips. Win some lose some. Snow ugh. Second big snowfall during pregnancy and I was not happy to shovel. Pretty much wiped the rest of day due to pool class yesterday.

12/10: 161.5
At least I'm still logging and checking in on groups. On the bright side, I've realized this is my 10th round in this challenge! At the end of these 10 days I will have posted here 100 days in a row.
12/11: 162
Deserved, yesterday was bad. TOM is a full week late, definitely NOT pg, guess it's aging. Didn't do great on nutrition today but no added sugar and overall low on calories.
12/12: 160.5
My progress for the last month looks like an EKG, bouncing between 160, 161, 162. Did OK today on calories & exercise. Had curry at a Thai restaurant, not sure if it was high in sodium so I don't know what to expect tomorrow.
12/13: 163.5
Yes, sodium. Tonight I went to dinner at someone's house, didn't log it all.
12/14: 163.5
Owning it.
12/15: 162.5
I'm just hoping not to end the round on a gain. Had a root canal (2 actually) yesterday, finally TOM and I really want comfort goodies but I haven't been too bad.

SW: 90kg
GW: 57-59kg
R24EW: 62.6kg
R25GW: 62.0kg - only looking for a modest loss or even maintenance this round as I have 3 dinner parties in the last 3 days!
Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 62.4kg - Had a big whoosh yesterday so am really happy to see it stuck this morning. Staying away from alcohol this weekend as I have a really calorie-heavy end of round looming. Goals: 3/4. Struggling with that calorie average.
12/10 - 63.1kg - I was expecting the bump as I had dinner out and lots of other carby snacks yesterday. All part of the plan though and will hopefully be back to the above weight by Tuesday. Goals: 0/3
12/11 - 63.1kg - The scale was taunting me this morning flicking up a lower number but then settled on this. Expected though with a belly full of pasta from last night! Yoga tonight and a day of light eating will see me back on track. Goals: 0/3
12/12
12/13
12/14 - Work Xmas Night
12/15
12/16 - Partner's Work Xmas Night
12/17
12/18 - 63.9kg - Now that's what I call off the wagon! Combination of being away from my desk (where I do my logging), Christmas parties, stress at work and TOM culminated in a bit of a wobble. Still, happy to see I stuck within the 63s. Looks like most people had a great round though, congratulations! See you in Round 26!
7 -
I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
Current Focus: In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.
Had a bit of a blip last round as I was ill.
Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs.
Of course, losing a pound a Round would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.
to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me an element of daily accountability which is motivational.
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 does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you 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!

I'm in for my fourth round
Round 22 start weight - 151.40
Round 23 start weight - 145.80
Round 24 start weight - 147.60
Round 25 start weight - 141.60
I'm aiming to finish this round below 140!!!!
12/09 140.9 so down .70lbs Yay Still going strong, Cheer comp this weekend though so long days and very easy to eat wrong - but we'll see....
12/10 Didn't weigh this morning - day 2 of comp - woke up to snow so we just got ready and legged it out the house!
12/11 144.60 - according to the scales 3.7lbs on. I know I didn't drink enough over the weekend and I didn't properly track my calories - too difficult when at comp. Not felt great so been sucking on throat sweets and drinking Lemsip drinks too. But I know if I was over it was only a little - I did eat a lot more carbs than normal - but I know it wasn't 13,000 calories worth to justify 3.7lbs so I'm not disheartened! Back on it again this morning as normal and drinking plenty of water. Go away next Thursday so just over a week to go to meet my under 140lb target - I will do it!
12/12 141.30 - 3.30lb down - a whooooosh and then some!!! Shows how much weight can vary depending on what you eat in a day even when you don't exceed calories! No cycle last night either - way too icy out there for me. So overall 0.30 lb since the start of the round - all good - and still intend and on track to finish this round under 140 ...... good food day planned, water bottle is by my side and gym tonight.
12/13 141.60 - slightly up but am blaming TOM and the fact that I am full of cold and a sore throat so been having hot lemon paracetemol drinks and throat lozenges as food was spot on yesterday. Not disheartened - food planned for the day is all good and keeping on with the water drinking - bottle is next to me (alongside the box of tissues!!)
12/14 141.80 - ho hum....... didn't drink my normal water levels yesterday - plenty of lemsips though. Also only had a light dinner (soup) as didn't feel much like a heavy dinner and still up 0.30lbs!!! Cold and sore throat still annoyingly hanging around. however I shall carry on, try a bit harder to drink more water today. Gym session planned for tonight with my PT - will still go - may just ask him to be a bit gentle on me though tonight! Go away next Thursday for a few days leading up to Christmas and would so love to be under 140 ........... There is still time.......
12/15
12/16
12/17
12/18 141.90 Frantic weekend and totally forgot to weigh in! Remembered this morning but already had a cup of tea so to finish at 141.90 was all good! Not lost this round but holding relatively steady and still 9.50lbs down since joining in round 22 which I am so pleased about. Go away Wednesday until Christmas then home for the festivities in full - not going to stress about weighing in but not feeling the desire to go too overboard - no doubt I will weigh more post Christmas but am in such a better place to get any post Christmas pounds off.6 -
Historical SW: 193
Recent SW: 187.6
R25 SW: 181.8
Goal for this round: break into the 170's (including the Christmas madness that is about to ensue)
12/09: 181.8
12/10: 180.8 Ate out two meals yesterday and still managed to stay under calories. 14K steps helped!
12/11: 180.0 Had to make myself go from 7500 steps to 11K in the cold, after dark, but I did it!
12/12: 180.6 I was hungry all day yesterday, so I ate some of my exercise calories and drank lots of water which is something I may need to start doing. 10K steps
12/13: 180.4 Need to MAKE time for working out but it’s such a busy time! Wasn’t hungry at all today, so I don’t know why I felt like I was starving yesterday. Hoping for the gym tonight. Buying new clothes is fun though! :-)
12/14: 179.0 WooHoo!!! Had a great day yesterday, even experimented with a Christmas recipe using turkey meatballs instead of beef. Went to the gym and got in 14K steps. Success!
12/15: 178.6 Party tonight so I’m up early and headed to the gym this morning.
12/16: 182.2 Well, I knew it would be bad after the party. Too much Prosecco punch in addition to all the foods that I haven’t eaten in forever. Going to work hard today and tomorrow to see how much I can get back off by Monday. Fingers crossed!
12/17: 180.4 Lost exactly half of what I gained from the party! Walked the neighborhood during the warm part of the day, went to the gym after dinner for rowing, arctrainer (strength), and treadmill for almost an hour. Super careful with the "food in” yesterday too and was way under calories for the day. Tried a new Skinnytaste recipe last night (Shepherd’s Pie), and hubby and I both really liked it. Hopefully I can lose enough today to get back into the 170s, which was my goal for this round.
12/18: 179.8 I DID it! Made it back into the 170s (barely, but hey, it counts, right?) That fast walk after finishing up with the baking when I really did not want to go last night, was just the ticket!8 -

10 Day Goal: 144.5 I want to reach my 20lb mark by Christmas, which means I need to lose just over a lb a week.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/09- 146.3 Absolutely exhausted. Trying to catch back up on sleep. Within calories, but no exercise today.
12/10- 146.08 ---Apparently I forgot to submit an entry.
12/11- 145.64 ---And again.
12/12- 144.98 Continuing with my routine of tracking everything that goes into my mouth
12/13- 144.98 Went over on my calories today. I've been out of the house and didn't make great choices. (fish and chips) Now I'm home my stomach is growling... Tomorrow is a new day.
12/14- 144.76 Well this is a surprise. I collapsed last night before grabbing more to eat.
12/15- 145.42 Think this is probably normal fluctuation. Made sure I had dinner before going out Christmas shopping tonight so I would have no excuse to snack while I was out.
12/16- 144.32 I don't know why, but I have been hungry all day. I might have a broth in a few. The warmth usually makes me satisfied and sleepy.
12/17- 144.98 Dinner over a friends house and then a caroling service. Didn't eat a bunch, but when I guesstimated I was over calories. Then because I didn't eat enough I had food late at night because my stomach was growling and I couldn't sleep.
12/18-145.86 Started the challenge making great progress, but completely sabotaged myself by making some poor food choices. At this point I think it is safe to say I won't make my 20lbs by Christmas, but I am proud to say I have remained at a "healthy" weight for the past week and that is what matters more to me.

MFP start weight - 223
53 years old. 5'8"
We have a family Christmas dinner on the 17th and I have not seen some folks for a year. Good motivation to keep going. I'd like to lose a couple of more pounds prior to then.
12/8 - Round 24 EW 166.2
Round 25 goal 164
12/9 - 165.2 - What a nice start to this round.
12/10 - 166.2 - Oh boy......no workout, no water and dang that homemade apple cobbler I made sure was good.
12/11 - 167.8 - Good grief, this is not going very well!. It's all on me though. Another day of no workout, no water and basically just laying around being a bum. It's not something I do often but sometimes I just need the down time. Leaving in a few minutes to run, lift and stair master. I have a day full of errands, projects and farm work this afternoon. Tomorrows weigh in will be much better!
12/12 - 166.4 - Yes!!! Going in the right direction now. Gym, water repeat.
12/13 - 167.0 - Well fire.
12/14 - 167.2 - Perhaps those two glasses of wine weren't such a good idea. Off to the gym to correct the error of my ways.
12/15 - 166.0 - This is one happy lady right here. Now to stay focused to meet my goal.
12/16 - 164.0 - WooHoo!!!! At my goal weight for this round, now just to hang on. Push the water and be mindful of my calories today. I don't normally exercise on the weekends, but I may try to get a run in later.
12/17 - 163.2 - Good stuff. Sorry to say it won't look that good tomorrow. Just got back from a family Christmas dinner and I ate lots of good stuff. I'm paying for it as I feel like garbage.
12/18 - 164.6 - Yesterday sure is showing up this morning. Still had a loss this round so I am happy.

I'm back, and I can hear Mom in my head telling me that she knows how hard it is to lose weight and not to lose too much because being healthy is important too. She was always a worrier. I'm going to keep at it for her. She'd want me to.
SW: 202lbs
UGW: 125 lbs
GW: 163.6 - 164
12/09 164.6 *fingers crossed that I stay at the lower end of the 60s* Had my niece and nephew over to spend the night, and I started working on progress reports. I didn't get as much fluids in, and I can tell. I feel like my mouth is dry this morning.
12/10 164.4 My sister-in-law and I took our 4 kiddos out for breakfast with Santa. Then, we went with my parents to dinner, to see Winterland (1 million Christmas lights display), and finally the tree at Monument Circle. They had hot cocoa (I refrained), and we joined a street performer for some Christmas carols. Thought of Mom and how she would have liked to join us. She's in my thoughts daily.
12/11 164.4 I love to bake over Christmas. Don't most of us? So, I started my treats last night. Sugar free, Pineapple Whip. I went for a healthy option.
12/12 165.4? I have absolutely no clue. Maybe due to the amount of steps I took. I drank a lot of fluids, and I ate under calorie which I haven't been doing.
12/13 164.4 Back to where I was. Whew! Lol I spent the day running errands AFTER I left work and came home to find a surprise here at the house. It was the lighthouse ornament we ordered. Mom loved lighthouses, so we bought the Hallmark 2017 one in her honor as a way to remember her on our first Christmas without her.
12/14 164.2 I stayed late lasy night at work. All of us teachers were making caramels for a cookie tray. Then, I went to my son's band concert. He plays tenor sax, and he had a part all by himself. He did beautifully.
12/15 164.4 A foundation and crawlspace repair company is at our house today and was yesterday. My husband and I also took our oldest son on a walkthrough of a different school district. There's a HUGE problem with the school he is currently in with bullying, and we have been considering our options.
12/16 163.6 I don't know what to say really, but YIPPEE! I hope it sticks, and it was nice to see this number. NEW LOW...REACHED GOAL!
12/17 165.2 I finished my Christmas shopping! Yay!!! I know there's been a HUGE jump today, and I'm okay with that. I went out to eat last night at a local Mexican restaurant, and I could tell their salsa had WAY TOO MUCH salt; however, I don't treat myself off my diet very often, so I did. I'm sure it'll go back down in a few days. I'm okay with this.
12/18 164.6 The number is going back down now. I didn't end the 10 days where I wanted to be, but I know it's just fluctuation due to water retention and sodium from that dinner. I still count this round as a success because I reached a new low, and I know I'll get back there again once I start pushing more fluids. On another note, an elf named Jinx showed up at my house and TP'd our Christmas tree. What a stinker!

Starting weight – 230
Round 24 – 224 (-5.6)
Round 25 – Starting weight 218.4 – Ending 220.2 ☹
I am proud of myself for sticking with it and keep trying - I am not proud of the 1.8 gain, but I am going to stick with this!!! I will prove to myself I can do this!
12/9 – 219.4 – I hate Fridays and Weekends – you know it’s going to be bad!
12/10 – 221.4 – Thank god it is Sunday and I can start getting back on plan!! Somehow, I have to be better on weekends.
12/11 – 220.8 – well going in the right direction again is a good thing – back at it today and keeping on the correct eating path!!! I don’t think I will make my goal of 215 this week 10-day period.
12/13 – 219.6 – Still playing catch up – man I can and will NEVER have a weekend like last weekend. I will never gain 3 pounds in a weekend again!!!
12/14 – 219.6 – frustrated with myself! I can do this I know I can, but DANG IT, I am frustrated with me! Why do I give up so soon? I will NOT give up on me for once. I can and will show you I can do this!
12/15 218.4 – HAPPY DANCE DAY – finally almost a week later I am at my starting weight and the weekend is coming – OH KNOWWWWWW – but guess what – even though I have a Christmas party tomorrow night I WILL not overdue it this weekend! I WILL NOT have a 3-pound gain again and start over on Monday. I will do this weekend right!!
12/16 – 220.8 – well once again I have gained an obscene amount of weight over the weekend and so now I need to figure out how to get my act together so I don’t keep gaining weight on weekend. Good golly what am I going to do when I have 5 days off ☹
12/17 – 219.8 – So I won’t be back to 218.4 but I will take this number if I can just keep my eating under control and exercise a bit more! Even house cleaning will count today. I have logged 1700 steps so far and my plan is 15000 to counter act the extra calories you know I will eat ☹ My standing desk arrives on the 22nd and I cant wait to get it set up at work.
12/18 – 220.2 well there it is a gain for this first round - ☹ now I know this next will be hard too -but I refuse to give up on this adventure!

12/18 = 187.0....Well that Round was a bust! Gotta get my act together, otherwise I'll gain a ton over the
holidays, and we don't want that to happen!
My ultimate goal is 170lbs, so any loss is a good loss.
