Was so close to my goal weight mid Sept 17 then I just lost motivation and hurt my back a couple of times in last three months. Put 15.5lb on between October 17 and first week of January 18. Got back to gym on Monday , been four times and been walking lots. Hubby bought me a fitbit which really spurred me on. I know I've lost over 4lb already this week. 11lb to go til goal weight. I do weigh myself daily.

Hello Everyone! I'm booked solid in the showroom/booth set up for the next 3 weeks so lots of activity, steps and flights of stairs just at work. I find it easier to control my calories on showroom days as I plan all my meals to keep organized...work from home days I fly by the seat of my pants a bit more...so I expect it shouldn't take long to get back to my pre Christmas weight...it's only about 1.5lbs...

SW - 182.4 -March 2017
GW - 145 -reached October 2017

I maintained around 143.5 for about a month before Christmas and that weight felt really good...I will get back there PDQ

1/7 - 144.4 - Coming in from round 27

1/8 - 144.6 - at least it stayed under 145...had a few fries with dinner last night and a couple of beers...but put in some time on the elliptical and did my express kettlebell work out.
1/9 - 144.6 - no budge...TOM arrived today so progress may be masked by hormone bloat for a few days
1/10 - 144.6 - My rings felt tight going on today...as long as I can keep from shoving stuff in my face during TOM I should get back down to my 143ish I want to be at after the hormone stuff is gone by the end of the week.
1/11 - 144.4 - down a bit
1/12 - 144.6 - Had an incident with some really good milk chocolate yesterday
1/13 -143.0 - End of TOM whoosh...I knew that number was in there somewhere

1/8= 173.6 Here we go! Here’s to everyone having success during this round!
1/9= 173.4 Tried a 30-min Express Circuit training at Planet Fitness yesterday for the first time. Also did 40 min of cardio on treadmill and arc trainer. 10k+ steps.
1/10= 173.6 Hoping for a loss tomorrow. Things have slowed down since I’m not riding my bike everyday. Ready for spring!
1/11= 172.0 Hoping to ride my bike today after work. High of around 65 here! Yay!
1/12= 171.8
1/13= no scales available today. Hubby is in the hospital, so probably won’t have one available tomorrow either. Will have to work on making healthy choices in the hospital cafeteria. You’d think they would be easy to find in a hospital, but they absolutely are not! No wonder half the staff here is way overweight.

This is my first round!
I started a yoga program, it’s about 20mins daily.. It is not something big or difficult, but it reminds me I need to move more!

Day/Weight/Comment
1/8 - 177 - over 200cals yesterday, 8 glasses of water, 20mins yoga.. a good day overall, but with a gain..
1/9 - 177.9 – under cals, 10 glasses of water, 20mins yoga.. definitely wrong direction, but since I count everything I guess I just have to be patient.. I bought a new scale so let’s see what ll happen tomorrow!
1/10 - 177.7 - so my new scale was gentle with me.. cals on point, water on point, yoga on point.. keep going..
1/11 - 177 - Happy about that! Although I really want to see 175 again..
1/12 - 175.7 - Yay!! I keep thinking how frustrated I would be if I didn’t weigh in daily.. I d see a 0.2 drop in 5 days.. but now I m over the moon!
1/13 - 175 - I’ll have 1-2 drinks tonight, I’ll try to fit it to my calorie goal, but I don’t know what to expect tomorrow!

1/9 - 12st 6.8 Was really good yesterday :-)

1/11 - 12st 6.7 Im definitely going to have a gain tomorrow though. Today is likely dehydration.

1/8 216.3 It's my birthday!! Hoping to not over indulge too much, but I know there will be some! My mother wants to take me to lunch and my husband and son want to go out to dinner, so will need to make good choices today. Or not, and not beat myself up about it tomorrow!
1/9 217.8 Yep, I knew it! So much sodium! And other not so good things, like cupcakes. Time to drink lots of water and Exercise!
1/10 217.8 Ok, time to get my act together! Water was good yesterday, but food choices were still bad! New day, back to making good food choices! I've got this!
1/11 217.8 Still working on it, did ok with my water and got some exercise in yesterday. Just need to continue with making good choices and exercising.
1/12 216.9 Ok, so I have to be honest, I weighed myself 3 different times and got three different numbers. I went with the middle number for recording proposes.
1/13 216.9 This was the one and only number that came up this morning. I'm still up from the start of this challenge, but only by 0.6, so not upset by that, especially since my eating has not been the best. And there are still four days to go!

Of course I'm in for this next round. I'll be going back to work on Monday after two weeks off for the holiday.

Start Weight: 202 lbs
Finished Round 27 at 161.8 lbs.
Round 28: 161.6 lbs.
GW: 160.6 lbs.
UGW: 125 lbs.

01/08: 161.6 I lost 2 oz in 4 days even with biking. That's okay though. A loss is a loss, and I'll take it. My weight loss is starting to slow down now. On the bright side, I went from a size 18 to a size 12 in pants.
01/09: 162.2 So, it was my first day back to work since Christmas break, and I am off for the rest of the week. This lady has the flu.
01/10: 161.6 Happy Birthday to everyone that I saw is having one this week. I'm hanging in, but feel blah.
01/11: 160.4 So, I don't know if I mentioned this, but my oldest son started middle school last year. He has been bullied non-stop for a year and a half. By bullied, I mean punched, kicked, lunch stolen and dumped out, slammed into lockers so his braces broke, sax stomped on 6 different times by the same kid and broke, and people telling him that they hoped his Grandma with cancer died, which you all know she did pass before Thanksgiving. The HUGE decision I made last week was whether or not to transfer him. Well, my husband and I decided to, and the last 3 days I haven't seen a single tear. He has been happy. I am grateful and hope it stays the course. On another note, I still hurt everywhere and feel not so hot, but my number dropped. That was with me hitting my calories right on the nose, and drinking 52 oz of liquid despite being sick.
1/12: 158.6 I have continued to push fluids and eat despite not wanting to do either. We also had a lot of freezing rain, so my kiddos schools are closed and mine is too. On side note, I haven't seen a number this low since I was pregnant with my first child back in 2003 and gained it to get to that number. Lol
1/13: 159.4 I managed to keep food down yesterday. I'm hoping the near is in sight now. I'm also hoping that the 50's hold. I've longed to see this number, and these last few pounds have been wanting to stay with me for awhile.

Long-term Focus: In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.
December was a very indulgent month. This round, I am focused on losing my holiday baggage.
I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs. Lose 1lb per round.

to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me a motivational element of daily accountability.

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 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.

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!

01/08 125.2 can't seem to budge off this number. Ended last round low because I got dehydrated.
01/09 125.2 making an effort to drink enough fluids everyday...I struggle on the weekends
01/10 125.8 Ate well and worked out...and went in the wrong direction. I'm having a hard time getting up and moving when at work. Not getting anywhere close to 10,000 steps.

Not too bad considering I went to a very long funeral, and it was out of town, so I didn't drink enough water! Plus, I let myself get too hungry! Amazing race starts today!

01/09: 214.1
Amazing race started yesterday; I spent 60 min. doing water aerobics! Down for 200 min. a week; I've got to step it up!

Don't understand it, ate under calories; didn't get enough water or exercise. Oh well! Ours is not to reason why; ours is just to do or.....

R28 (15th Round for me)

So the last round I finally recovered a bit from the two previous rounds which where just brutal (I blame the gain on a mixture of: PMS, broken ribs and holiday goodies). I'm feeling even more motivated now and am optimistic that this will continue as I look forward to attending a very important wedding in September. It is essential that I lose 20 lbs before then (but my real goal is 27!)

Weight at the end of R27: 193.0

Round 27 (previous round)
12/29: 159.5 Net calories red & 12c water. Fitbit 9,124 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 34 floors. Getting back into my groove.
12/30: 159.0 Walked 3 mi. treadmill / 51:07. Fitbit 13,675 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 25 floors. Registered for my third Badger State Brewing 10K (3/31).
12/31: 161.0 Got into leftover Christmas goodies. 12c water. Walked 3 mi. treadmill / 50:31. Fitbit 12,434 steps, 250+ steps 914 hours & 11 floors.
01/01: 162.5 Expected: New Year's Eve splurged with hubby on special treats all evening long and did not log food or beverages. I'm sure net calories were horrendously red. Totally worth it! And now it's out of my system.
01/02: 163.0 Very sedentary day: car round trip 3 1/2 hours & niece's bday party, plus my lower back hurting. Net calories red & 10c water.
01/03: 162.0 No treadmill since lower back still hurting. Net calories red 18, sodium & sugar both green, 14c water. Fitbit 7,577 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 30 floors.
01/04: 161.5 Tried an easy walk on treadmill 2 miles / 37:42, then my back stiffened up again. Reminder to self: don't overdo. Net calories, sodium & sugar (fresh orange juice & Activia yogurt) red but not horrible. 14c water. Fitbit 12,659 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) hours & 35 floors.
01/05: 159.5 Little surprised, it was food day at work for coworker with Christmas bday, but I was very picky about what I ate & had very small portions, ate healthy rest of day. Guestimated & logged best I could. 13c water (not sure, kinda lost count). Not doing treadmill until my back doesn't twinge when I wake up, almost there! Fitbit 8,453 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 29 floors.
01/06: 159.0 Another surprise since I binged a little on mixed nuts in evening, but maybe 16c water helped. No treadmill, but lots stairs breaks at work. Fitbit 7,851 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours, 26 floors. Massage in evening did wonders for my lower back.
01/07: 159.0 Finally walked on treadmill again, didn't push & felt great. 3 miles / 54:13. Fitbit 10,574 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 hours (lazy Sat.) & 29 floors. Net calories & sodium green, sugar red (fresh oj & chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream) & 14c water. Not bad round, considering. Happy to end 1-5-anything.

01/08: 159.5 Net calories, sodium & sugar all red...ack! 14c water. Fitbit 8,010 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 16 floors.
01/09: 159.5 Net calories & sodium green, sugar red (some leftover Christmas goodies) & 15c water. Walked treadmill 3 miles before work / 51:06. Fitbit 15,090 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) hours & 41 floors.
01/10: 159.0 Net calories & sugar green (barely for both), sodium red but not horrible & 14c water. Walked treadmill 3 miles before work / 51:53. Fitbit 13,010 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) hours & 29 floors.
01/11: 158.5 Happy hour after work and, surprise! Salad appealed...think my body is sick of rich, high cal foods since Christmas. Didn't even change my mind when friends ordered perch plate with french fries, which I love. Enjoyed 1 pint beer. Not sure of log accuracy / net calories red 22 & 15c water. Treadmill 3 miles before work / 50:13. Fitbit 13,015 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 hours (boom! 3 days in a row!) & 34 floors.
01/12: 158.5 Net calories, sodium & sugar all red...ack! At least fiber was good & 15 c water. Active evening packing up Christmas decorations and nativities collection, still not done by half. Fitbit 11,451 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 38 floors.
01/13: 157.0 Yesterday evening, walked in Frenzy on the Fox 5K (paved trail, plowed & salted) in 47:26 pace 15:19 mph.
