01/28 - 116.4 - Happy to be staying at this weight even after a weekend of not so great eating
01/29 - 116.5 - Had a hard workout last night, so I was planning on some water retention
01/30 - 114.6 - Super surprised to see this number on the scale today considering the amount of sodium I had yesterday and sore muscles, but I make no complaints. Skipping office drinks and pizza today because of scheduling conflicts, but pretty glad I don't need to hold strong in the face of free pizza and cocktails!
01/31 - 114.9 - I knew it would be up a bit, but still bummed. I had a big, high sodium Georgian dinner complete with some khachapuri to celebrate DH's new job last night, so I ate back my exercise calories, which I hate to do. Not too much damage, though I definitely need to cut back on sodium for the next couple of days.
02/01- 114.3 - I don't know what to say except yay! and that I'm going to ruin this progress tonight with 2 parties both at amazing restaurants I will try to keep it from getting too out of hand though!

Day/Weight/Comment:

01/28: (no weight) - So I went out and got a bit bevved on Saturday so spent most of Sunday hungover hugging the sofa, I still ate within my calories but I didn't manage to drag myself onto the scale haha.
01/29: 122.1kg/269.2lbs - Yeah I'll take this, imagine there is some beer weight still floating around in me. Back to the gym today and ready to smash this week again. Aiming for another 2/3lbs loss however my scales are being very indecisive, may have to look at investing in a new one.
01/30: 120.7kg/266.1lbs - YESSS, my lowest weight in a long time. Starting to wear shirts I haven't in a long time, it's a great feeling. Meal preps for lunch still going strong with 2/3ltrs of water a day and gym 4 times a week.
01/31: 120.8kg/266.3lbs - I know it's nice seeing a drop but stability is key too, more than happy to stay in the 120s for a few days, I am expecting a big drop soon though. Cardio today, managed to run 5k the last couple of weeks but really want to push myself and get closer to 7.5k and edge my way towards 10k. Onwards and upwards.
02/01: 121.0kg/266.7lbs - Forget what I said yesterday, I WANT A DROP PLEASE. I had a late night and skipped cardio as my legs are still sore from Tuesday. Back to the gym tonight and probably another late night as the other half is working late. I know I'm on a loss overall this round but I could really do with the boost of seeing some numbers drop - still dreaming of sub 120kg.

Does any have a view on very low calorie diets like the blood sugar diet (800 calories)? I notice MFP does not let you finish the day with that number.

Loss to date - 13.5lbs

Had a great round 29 so hoping it continues - R30 goal is 136lb.....

01/28 138.4lb - unsurprisingly slightly up - yesterday (although not over calories allowance) I spent my whole day at the computer, drinking coffee and too little water and didn't hardly move at all. I'm an accountant and its tax return deadline on Wednesday 31st so really busy. More of the same today too ....... must have more water today if nothing else........

01/29 139.1lb - not unusually I weigh more on a Monday - the usual full Sunday roast and dessert (all in calories just a lot of food concentrated in the evening!). And on top of that the whole weekend spent in front of a computer. So am happy with this especially as still under the 140lbs! No reason this won't be a good week

01/30 139.4lb - not surprised! Caught my kids cough and cold and was up half the night drinking water trying to stop myself coughing so drank loads plus had lemsips and hot drinks! However my calories and macros yesterday were spot on (as was my fluid intake!!) so know this is the scales lying to me

01/31 138.20 - my usual fall on the scales on a Wednesday post weekend. Still not back to my all time low of last week but only by 0.30lb which I'll allow myself as still full of cold so still dosing up on lemsips and cough medicines! Went to the gym last night but not a 100% effort as feel rough - but I went so pleased with that. Will keep drinking plenty, eating sensibly and watch those scales continue to go down! A new month tomorrow and closer to Spring

02/01 139.10lb - up and down this round. Was within my calories again yesterday so can only assume its due to lack of activity (stuck behind computer due to tax return time of year) and feeling rough so been having lemsips and cough pastilles. And to top it off TOM is imminent so feeling bloated. Tax all done now though and hoping cough and cold is on its way out so can only gt better. BUT - I have throughout it all still remained under 140 .......

Ultimate Goal Weight 60kg
R30 GW 67.7kg (aiming for 0.5kg again although I think it might be a bit ambitious, I generally lose slowly!)

R30 (2)
01/28 - no access to scales today, also expecting a lot of water weight due to eating out all weekend (very limited food choices), will do what I can to not overeat though!
01/29 - 68.8 - a big jump up, I expected it though after a weekend of limited food options, hopefully just water weight and will come off in the next couple of days
01/30 - 67.8 - followed by a big drop, mostly water from the weekend I think. Also didn't eat much yesterday as I was ill so I expect this will rebound back up a bit.
01/31 - 68.2 - back up a bit, ate late last night and got up and weighed early. So far no change this round!
02/01 - 68.3 - ate at maintenance yesterday, as well as having achy muscles from a PT session - trainer upped all my weights. Hopefully won't creep too much higher!

@Morelittletoys personally I've never done VLCD as I just couldn't cope with that few cals. As far as I'm aware it should only be done under medical guidance due to difficulties getting the nutrients you need at that level of cals (someone more knowledgeable may come along and correct me!)

2nd Round.
MFP SW 210
R29 SW 189.2 EW 186.6
Focused on making good choices for my overall health.
01/28 184.6 Thankful and curious about the sudden drop the last few days. My weight was slowly going down the last couple of weeks, and now BOOM, the loss shows up. I'll be looking for patterns over the next month. I'm thinking it was water retention during TOM.
01/29 184.2 I worked out hard since I knew I couldn't get to the gym today. (Walk/Run intervals and weight training) I'm expecting these losses to slow down any day now, but I'm hoping not to gain back.
01/30 184.4 Ate A LOT of carbs yesterday- gotta get my veggies in today! Feeling good physically and feeling great about making healthier choices consistently over the last month.
01/31 184.2
02/01 185.2 The end of the month is stressful because of work. Didn't eat enough yesterday, didn't work out, and didn't drink much water! Today will be a great day, though!!

Thanks @nicolabradley87 for your comments. I will keep an eye out for more advice. Notice you are on similar weight to me. I find it’s so hard to shift weight with smaller goals so usually go for VLCD. Seem to have to eat less and less the older I get.

01/29: 156.6 Another solid day yesterday. Did a short yoga video. Feeling a cold coming on this morning which is just great. As if last week wasn't enough with sickness.

01/30: 156.6 Congested and puffy this morning. I know the scale will move eventually...

01/31: 155.8 Attepted to exercise yesterday but stopped 20 mins; just wasn't feeling well. Eating was good.

02/01: 156.4 Gah! My cold was better yesterday but overnight/this morning I'm worse. I think my body is holding onto water as a result. Frustrated.

This is one woman that's back for more. Thank you @cyranda63 for continuing to create the rounds and make the group. You've been a HUGE support in my weight loss journey. Now, let's do this! "Your body can stand almost anything. It's your mind you have to convince."

UGW: 125

1/28: 159 3 days of making sure my carbs and sodium stay stay within my goal. 3 days of dropping my one pop that I allow myself everyday and substituting it for hot tea, and I show a loss. A 2 lb loss, which appears to be my WHOOSH! Now let's hope it sticks and continues. Yesterday, I threw a surprise 30th anniversary party for my family. I ate well and within my calories. I even skipped the cake I had made for them. It paid off. "Junk food you've craved for an hour, or the body you've craved for a lifetime. Your decision."
1/29: 159 My nephew turned 7 today. We went to his house to celebrate. I once again chose to skip the dessert. Then again, it was red velvet cake, so it wasn't too hard. That stuff is nasty! "Look in the mirror. That's your competition."
1/30: 158.2 It was a crazy day today. It's National Catholic Schools Week, and it kept me hopping at work. I also took my 14-year-old son out for some 1:1 time to dinner. It was really nice. PLUS I found out my 9-year-old son is Student of the Week. "The best project you'll ever work on is you."
1/31: 158.8 I usually eat dinner by 6 p.m., but I had to work until 7:30 last night. It was family day, and all of us teachers honored our parents and students by cooking them a meal and serving them last night. So, I ended up eating late. Dont like the bump up, but it happens. There is one thing I am learning. "The secret of losing weight is patience."
2/1: 158.2 Let me see 158 before the end of this challenge, PUH-LEASE! I know I met my goal already, but I want to get back to my new low. I'm so close. "Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret."

nikki062181

@Morelittletoys If you eat any lower than a 1200 calorie diet, your body isn't getting all the nutrients that it needs. Also, the VLCD is usually used to jump start weight loss. They use it quite a bit in obesity programs. If you're 50 or older, it can cause medical issues. If you do VLCD, you're supposed to have a doctor monitor you every two weeks. Hope this helps.

@MaryQueen26 I hope you get to feeling better soon.

01/28; 106.0 - My Birthday - Didn't weigh in, had buffet lunch and spent the day riding in the car to/from grandmas. I have my meals planned for 1/29 and this board will help me stay accountable.
01/29: 107.0 - I mean, I didn't want this number, but it is what it is and it reflects what I've been doing. eating too much crap, not focused and just beating myself up mentally. I'm ready for that to change. I want tomorrows number to be better. Surprising enough, last week I had a 104.6 number...so I know this is feasible for this challenge. Goal tomorrow is to be 106.x

1/30: 105.4 - Woosh, there it is. High Fat yesterday, and the scale showed it. I will keep high fat again today as I just loved how it made me feel, satiated and not craving.

1/31: 103.8 - Day 2 of intermittent fasting. Today I did One 4 hour eating window and wow, look at the results. My last meal was finished at 1230pm, so technically, If I'm not hungry, I can maybe make this an entire 24hour fast. I love the number on the scale. I'm in disbelief at how well checking in with this group has made me focus. I honestly expected this weight on day 10 instead of day 4. Macros ; Fat:55% Carb:25% Protein:15%

2/1: 105.2 - Carb day yesterday, arund 130g so, i'm not shocked by this. Its still less then before and gives me motivation to do well today with Keto style eating and keeping carbs to a minimum. #noBarsTodayPeeps

01/31...144.4 Did another 75 on ellip yesterday and ate well within macros. Today, gym.

02/01... 145 Went to gym yesterday and got a great workout in. Went out for a belated birthday happy hour and I'm hoping water retention from wine, etc is reason for weight increase. Today, a day of virtue. Happy Thursday.

My ultimate goal is 170lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

This group challenge has really been helping me through the fluctuations. I had a really bad tendency to get frustrated and think that I'll never get there. Definitely getting stronger so the slow pace is expected. But I have been a bit lazy on my diet. If I want this I'm the only one who can do it for me.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 - 187.6 - Ordering some new clothes to replace worn ones. Hopefully that'll be inspiring.
01/29 - 187.6 - Holding. Though morale is good. Temps are back up and my Tshirts I haven't been wearing are fitting nicer.
01/30 - 187.2 - Training yesterday. Going to climb up our mini mountain today.
01/31 - 187.6 - Mountain did not go, met a friend for lunch instead. Training today.
02/01 - 187.2 - Training was cancelled so I did our mini mountain walk yesterday. Nice weather for it.

Good morning everyone!

Round 30

02/01 131.6 - Ate a “cheat dinner” yesterday so I appreciate no immediate gain, and I’ve got some great clean eating snacks prepped for today to minimize overall carbs. Tomorrow marks 4 months since my journey to get to a healthy weight, I started at 150.8lbs so it would be amazing if I could lose some ounces today to be able to be down a full 20lbs tomorrow morning...here’s hoping!
