HW: 133.4kg/294lbs (31st October 2017)
SW: 130.2kg/287.1lbs (1st Jan 2018)

Day/Weight/Comment

01/18: 123.3kg/271.8lbs - Ate at a calorie deficit but rested from the gym last night, weightloss is never really linear so I have no doubt this will drop over the 10 days. Out for a work lunch and cardio tonight after work.
01/19: 122.6kg/270.3lbs - Nice to be falling in the right direction. Heavy cardio session last night, however it seemed like I spent more time cleaning my own sweat off of the machines than I did on them!
01/20: 123.0kg/271.2lbs – I imagine that this weekend will probably be up and down before falling overall, I ate at a calorie deficit but rested from the gym.
01/21: 122.6kg/270.3lbs – Back down again. Prepped all my lunches up until Thursday, however I do need to order some more meat in.
01/22: 122.8kg/270.7lbs – Bubbled up a tiny bit, not sure why but I am eating well and have no doubt I will drop overall. Aim is to be sub 120kg soon, if I could do it within these 10 days I would be ecstatic.
01/23: 122.0kg/268.9lbs - Wheeey, I was hoping to see this drop. Still eating meal preps at lunch, granola for breakfast and meat and sweet potato in the evening. Amazing to see how a bit of weight loss can have such a positive effect on my wellbeing. Now lets go sub 120kg!

In for my eighth 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
Round 26 start weight - 141.90
Round 27 start weight - 146.20
Round 28 start weight - 143.20
Round 29 start weight - 140.90

Loss to date - 10.5lbs

Aim to be under 140 by the end of the round......

01/18 140.6lb - 0.3lb off and on my way to be under 140 by end of the round. Feeling organised and motivated

01/19 140.4lb - last of the weekend woosh gone! Work evening out tonight for a meal followed by Cirque de Soleil. Will enjoy but also try to choose wisely from the menu. I will have a couple of glasses of wine but won't be going mad as up early tomorrow to take my daughter out for the day to the National Space Centre - a 2.50 hour drive each way!! On the plus side got the train into work today so plenty of walking to and from the station plus round London tonight.

01/20 DNW. Very late home Friday after a meal and drinks and up early Saturday for a day out so forgot to weigh!
01/21 DNW - actually got a cup of tea in bed so didn't weigh as already had something by the time I got up!

01/22 142.90 lb. Weekend that I didn't track plus a full (healthy) Sunday roast last night. Didn't go mad but as usual weight is up on a Monday and weigh exactly where I was last Monday so not concerned as not a true weight gain. Back to normal today with food and water intake so expecting a good week ahead and still hopeful for under 140 by the end of the round on Saturday.

01/23 140.90lb - and the weekend woosh!! Plenty of water yesterday and walked 12,000 steps so a good day. Good food day planned today, gym tonight so all on the right path to be under 140 at the end of the round or shortly after! Feel like I've been at this stage for ages so under 140 and stay there will be a huge milestone!

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 Round 29
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!

TerriRichardson112

@sweetnsassyfied I aim to do a minimum 15 minutes of strength and 15 minute flex exercises daily. For strength, I target different area each day. For flex I do Yoga, Tai Chi, or other stretches.

Goal this round: remain steady in making good choices.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 189.2 I'm on Snow Day #2, determined to conquer the urge to snack all day. I'm thankful I don't have a bunch of junk in my pantry!
01/19 188.8 I should've eaten more veggies yesterday, but I did good on water and exercise (35 min walk/run, arm resistance workout, 10 minute stair climber).
01/20 189.6 Probably had too much salt yesterday… I feel really good, though. I resisted a donut breakfast at work, passed on the sweet tea and chips at lunch, and went to the gym last night. I NEVER go to the gym at night bc I always feel drained after work, but I went anyway and had a pretty good workout!
01/21 189.4 Yesterday was a struggle! One day at a time, sweet Jesus!!
01/22 189.2 Yesterday was a pretty good day- got in cardio, weights, plenty of water, and not a lot of carbs. Thankful for this challenge! It keeps me motivated to make good choices!!
01/23 188.6 Hope this sticks!

I'm back. Let's see if I can get down to 160 at least even though my "new" low is 158. The slower it comes off the more likely it will stay off. I just lost a lot very fast due to having the flu and sinus issues. Good luck ladies and gents.

OW: 202
SW: 161
GW: 160

1/18: 160.4 I haven't been drinking very well lately, and I expect this number to be up tomorrow, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. Lol
1/19: 160.4 Wow! I'm maintaining, but I've been in the 160's since November. I'm over it. Lol
1/20: 162 Too much sodium and not enough water I believe, but since I've been fluctuating between 3 lbs forever. Who knows.
1/21 163.6 I haven't seen this number in a long time, but I'll be honest with myself here. I ate whatever I wanted for dinner. High calories. Lots of carbs. Lots of sodium. It was family movie night. I positively hate seeing that number, but I so enjoyed my meal.
1/22 161.4 I pushed fluids yesterday and went back to my normal diet. I also biked for 30 minutes. I have 5 more days to see that 160. Let's do this!
1/23 161.2 I pushed fluids yesterday, ate well, and put in more steps than I have been for awhile now. It's not a big loss, but I'll take it.

nikki062181

@mrs_sutsie Love that whoosh and am so jelly. Can't wait to have one myself. Lol

@bradcharlessimmons Keep up the good work. Pre-planning my meals has helped me out so much. Prepping them is even better.

@Kshanee1 You can totally do this girl.

I’m in. Goal is to lose 3 pounds. I have been slacking off for months now and not making any real progress. I gained about 10 pounds since the summertime. I need to work hard and get back to where I was over the summer because I think that’s where I want to maintain. Just wanted to vent/share.
