    1st Goal 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    2nd Goal 145 = normal BMI
    UGW Range 140 - 145

    My scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day. Previous round EW 160.0 LW 158.0
    R20 SW 166.0 10/20/17 (my round 1)
    R20 EW 166.5 LW 164.5

    R22 EW 162.0 LW 162.0
    R23 EW 162.0 LW 162.0 = included parade day & Thanksgiving, no food/drink logged :wink:
    R24 EW 159.5 LW 159.5 = walked Jingle Bell 5K in 44:37 & pace 14:22 / first time in 10 years my weight is 1-5-anything!
    R25 EW 160.0 LW 158.0
    Round 25 (previous round)
    12/09: 158.5 Little shocked by w-i, no wonder I still felt hungry last night. Net calories red (w/i 100) & 12c water. Walked dog 3.14 miles before work and helped decorate dept. for Christmas. Fitbit 15,471 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) hours & 41 floors.
    12/10: 161.0 Annnd it's bounce-back time. To be honest, I snacked with hubby after getting home late last night from classic holiday movie (A White Christmas) at theatre...he's used to eating after his shift ends at midnight, and I ate right along with him. Net calories red, sodium very red and 12c water. Walked dog 3.07 miles. Fitbit 16,142 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 17 floors.
    12/11: 160.0 Net calories green, sodium red & 14c water. Walked dog 3.56 miles. Fitbit 17,803 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 38 floors.
    12/12: 160.0 All numbers red except sugar & 15c water. Walked dog 3.11 miles before work, landed on my backside b/c of snow-covered ice patch & switching to indoor workouts for winter. Sad dog. Fitbit 15,643 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 38 floors.
    12/13: 160.0 Net calories barely green, sodium not so bad, sugar red mostly from fruit, and 15c water. Walked 1 mile in workplace hike at lunchtime. Fitbit 13,953 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 33 floors.
    12/14: 160.0 Treadmill 3 miles / 50:35 and shoveled snow 1 hr. (est. 8") / thank heavens for kind-hearted neighbor with snowblower. Fitbit 18,353 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) hours & 39 floors. Net calories, sodium & sugar all green! 14c water, could've had more with all my activity.
    12/15: 160.0 Rest day after activity previous day. Fitbit 10,431 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 27 floors. Net calories w/i 100 green, sodium red & 15c water. Light on fiber lately, need to increase.

    12/18: 160.0 Still fighting off a cold, going to listen to my body, skip workouts & get more sleep. More important to fight off cold than get workouts in, especially being so busy with Christmas preparations. Keep pushing zinc tablets, extra vitamin C & water. Workouts will resume once (a) I feel better and (b) crazy busy-ness ends. Net calories barely green but sodium very red & light on fiber (again) / 12c water. Fitbit 8,247 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 17 floors.

    12/19: 158.0 Battling a cold, workouts on hold. At least Christmas decorations are almost done. Net calories red (barely), sodium green, fiber 20g & net sugar zero - how did that happen? 18c water. Fitbit 10,525 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 39 floors.
    12/20: 158.0 Net calories red, sodium green, sugar red mostly from fruit, fiber 20g, and 16c water / trying to flush my cold away. Workplace snowshoe hike at lunchtime / 0.42 miles. Fitbit 11,013 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 32 floors.

Fitbit 8,612 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 31 floors. Total guess for calories (did quick log instead of guestimating every bite) & 16c water.
    12/22: 157.5 Day off from work, finished cleaning & decorating. Gave in to leftover pizza hubby brought home, but limited myself to two slices. 14c water. Fitbit 7,696 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 hours & 15 floors.

    Round 26 - last chance for 2017 :blush:
    Started this year @ 112 lbs. Have been working on losing back to my normal weight of 104-107 lbs for the past 10 years!
    Goal Weight: 105 lbs.

    12/19 106.2
    12/20 105.6 - 1500 Calories! Having annual labs drawn today. The weight loss should improve by Cholesterol and A1C :wink:
    12/21 105.9 - Going to get my Dexa-scan today (osteopenia) but the report will also show my body fat percent.

    12/22 106.6 - ate >1900 Calories yesterday, dark chocolate, dried fruit with cashews and red wine were worth it.

    Weighed prior to the Dexa-scan middle of the day: 107.7 lbs. The great news was that my height taken at the appointment was unchanged. Body Fat on the home scale was 22% (usually 24% due to dehydration in the morning). Will be fun to compare my scale (22%) to my Dexa results.

    12/20: 158.7 1 out of 3 yesterday... I did get some good sleep last night. But not nearly enough water, no exercise, and a high calorie dinner. I feel even worse this morning. Just gotta hold on for a few days and then I have 11 days off from work! Don't know how I will manage 18 people at my house for Christmas eve, though... lots of water and vitamin C.
    12/21: 159.6 Was so busy did not get a chance to check in!
    12/22: 160.9 Oh boy. This is not a surprise! Had our dept. Christmas party last night. I don't think I need to go into detail. :s But... CHEESE! That is certainly my weakness. Today will be hard because I need to u-turn and get back on track. Hoping all the stuff I need to do today will keep me from eating mindlessly.

    Female, 5'4"
    Starting Weight: 135 lbs
    Goal Weight: 115 lbs - Met

    I met my goal weight a few weeks ago. My new goal now is to maintain to stay close to 115 on average. I've also decided that I'm going to allow alcohol in moderation & see how it goes.

    Goal This Round: Maintain 115 lbs Average

    12/19 • 117 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1300 cal.
    12/20 • 115 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1500 cal.
    12/21 • 115 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1300 cal.
    12/22 • 115 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1300 cal. My body seems to like this weight, which is a good thing :)

    R24 SW- 147.84
    R25 SW- 146.3

    Current weight- 145.86
    10 Day Goal: 144.XX ? I would love to lose weight over the holidays, but I think maintaining is probably more achievable. I'm still going to give it a go though.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/19- 145.42 I'm doing ok with sticking to my calorie goal, but I need to find time to get back to exercising.
    12/20- 144.76 DH and I agreed to fill the stockings this year with a few pieces of really nice chocolate rather than filling them to the brim with tons of sweets and treats. Less temptation in the house is a good thing.
    12/21-144.76
    12/22-144.76 My joints have been aching and swollen for the past 2 days. My sodium hasn't been high so I'm guessing I just need more water.

    *I am going to be away for the second half of this challenge but I wanted to participate anyway to the extent possible.*

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/19 172.5 - Honestly yesterday was a pretty good day for me! I went to yoga at lunch, I ate a reasonable dinner and didn't snack at night. I did eat a red velvet cupcake at lunch from work, couldn't help myself, I was too hungry and didn't pack a big enough lunch of my own.

    12/20 172.5 - Glad to know I'm maintaining this, despite the fact that I ate a large dinner last night. Felt too full! I hate that feeling. Must listen to hunger cues better moving forward this week. On the bright side, I ate well during the day and I had a kick-a** spin class in the evening.


    12/21 173.5 - missed posting yesterday but I did weigh myself. not surprised because i ate salty snacks (chips) at night while watching the Bachelor Canada Finale. The finale was underwhelming, and so were the chips! Remind me not to eat those anymore. I don't eat them that often but whenever I do I'm like...why tho.

    12/22 173 - I had pizza last night. I ate well and quite light throughout the day so I'm not overly concerned about these fluctuations, plus it's my TOM so...I'm going to be forgiving about weight fluctuations.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/19 - 100.4 - Out and about, I failed to eat proper food, salt-loaded snacks. I’m traveling today (no less than 4 flights!) so my goal is no snacks on flights! And healthy choice at client lunch.

    12/20 - 100.4
    12/21 - Travelling no time for weighing
    12/22 - 101.4 - Bad food choices yesterday, not enough liquids hopefully the situation will be redressed today
    12/23 - 100.8 - OK back in control though I ate way more carbs than I would have liked! Drank all my water though

    R24 SW 191.4
    R25 SW 190.6
    R26 SW 189.2

    R26 Goal <= 189.2

    This round I'm going to try to keep within daily calorie limit, even when the refrigerator is full of leftover turkey. It'll be a real challenge to maintain where I am, but I find coming here daily really helpful.


    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/19 189.6. Yesterday was kind of a lazy day. If I’m going to make a move down most of it needs to be done in the next few days.
    12/20. 189.4. Every day I’m staying in this range is great!
    12/21. 189.4. Couldn’t ask for any better with the way things are going
    12/22. 188.6. I’m watching the food calories, but when it comes to the wine calories, I’m well up on the naughty list.
    12/23. 189.4. There have been years where I have really stacked it on over the holidays. It doesn’t look like this is going to be one of them. Just a matter of keeping it in check the next couple days then I’ll have a great place to start the downwards trip again.
