2/12 : 215.6----I'm good with this. Ate well, got my water in, but pushed the exercise trying to get rid of the brownies :laugh.
2/13 : 215.6
2/14 : 215.2
Will be having a nice Ribeye, baked potato and salad for dinner (within calorie goal ofcourse)--just hope me and the red meat get along.
2/15 : 213.8---I weighed 5 times to make sure. This is the whoosh I knew was holding back on me for quite a while now because of inflammation. I've also been on top of my sodium and water intake, and I see it has helped.
2/16 :
It's a slow process, but quitting won't speed it up11 -
Ending Round 30 Weight: 106.9 (pounds) which was the goal . . . but . . . I have lost my edge, eating over calories, blowing off exercise and just all around not feeling motivated. Weighing daily reveals my weight is beginning to climb again.
Let's Start Over
New Beginning!
2/7 - 107.3 (goal this round is 106.5 or less of course)
2/8 - 107.0 - feeling ready to commit to the plan again: Calorie, Exercise and Wine goals
2/9 - 106.4 - I have a few days off work and can focus on my goals (looking forward to working in the yard and playing with the doggies).
2/10 - 107.1 Calorie intake is too high even for added exercise. Typical for me. Gotta stay mindful in the evenings.
2/11 - 106.8 - feels like my true weight. Hmmm . . . in theory if I have a deficit of 200 kcals/day for the next 5 days I could reach a "true weight" of 106.5 lbs which is my goal. This is doable!
2/12 - 108.1 - eek! The closer I get to the ultimate goal the hungrier I get. Starting over today (Monday). Hungry is the new normal for me
2/13 108.1 - not to panic, I followed the plan yesterday - a correction is coming soon.
2/14
108.0 On the right track now but not breaking any records. Going to stay out of the office where the almond rocha is and have a nice dinner out tonight (not too much wine).
2/15 107.9

Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs
Recent SW: 220.0 lbs (1/14/18)
Ultimate GW (for now): 195.0 lbs
R28 SW = 220.0 R28 EW = 219.8 (-0.5 lbs) (participated for 3 days) R28 AW = 220.2
R29 SW = 219.8 R29 EW = 214.0 (-5.8 lbs) R29 AW = 215.9 (-4.3 lbs)
R30 SW = 214.0 R30 EW = 214.0 (0.0 lbs) R30 AW = 214.1 (-1.8 lbs)
Goal for this round: 212.0
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 = 212.6. Day one, and so far, so good (-1.4 lbs). I wanted to get mad yesterday when I didn't lose any weight in last challenge, but I need to realize that good work I do one day may not always show up the exact next day. My body fluctuates on a daily basis, and sometimes I do not get a particular number exactly when I want it. Today is a "whoosh" because I have generally been doing pretty well. Whatever does not show up on this weigh-in will show up on the next. Or the next.
02/08 = 212.4. Figured out as (wanted to say “after,” but it was “as”) I bought my lunch yesterday that it was BAD; too many calories, too much salt. I threw half of it away, ate mindfully the rest of the day/night, and ended up still staying under calories for the day. This was a big victory for me, one that I would not have had a few weeks ago. I have the gym and basketball tonight, so I’m hoping to keep the positive vibes rolling!
02/09 = 211.4. This is feeling easy again. Under calories last night not including exercise. Took a walk during the day, went to the gym to lift weights, and played basketball for an hour. I know this is hard (I remember last week!), but it doesn’t feel that way right this second. This is my version of being in the zone. I know it won’t last forever, but I’m enjoying it. I wish this feeling on all of you!
02/10 = 212.6. Ate out twice yesterday. It’s funny. I woke up feeling great yesterday, but my energy level dropped like crazy as the day went by, and I was pretty much spent by lunch. I'm pretty sure I'm fighting off a cold (at least), and that I'm in a vulnerable state as a result (eating-wise). I’m realizing that this is also a pattern, and one of those things that can really throw me off of any good habits I might have. I ended up having both lunch and dinner out. I didn’t eat “crazy,” but I definitely could have made better choices. I was slightly over my calorie goal for the day (estimated), and definitely way over in Na+. I’m feeling a little better this morning, so I’m going to go to the gym, then play basketball, and see if I can have a really good weekend of eating mindfully, staying in control, and NOT being sick. Today will be the first time my wife has seen me play basketball in the 14 years we have been together (6+ of them married).
02/11 = 212.0. Ate out twice again yesterday! I kept things under control for the most part, and it was a great basketball day. It’s SO HARD to estimate calories when I eat out certain places.
02/12 = 211.4. Here’s what I’m NOT going to do right now: make a new goal for this challenge. Every time I’ve done that so far it’s been a kiss of death. That being said, I’m quite pleased with the number. I did well yesterday, stayed within calorie goals, and likely shed some salt/water weight from the past couple of days. Slow and steady. Don’t get too excited or too upset, no matter what the scale says. Keep doing all the good things you’ve been doing up to this point. AND basketball is tonight!
02/13 = 211.6. I'm a little confused here. I destroyed it at basketball yesterday. I think I was within calories a too, even without my exercise calories. The only thing I can think of is that my lunch estimation was off in calories and/or Na+. My water intake was also a little low, particularly on a basketball day. Whatever! Things are still going well. No basketball for a week and a half, so I need to stay focused and add some cardio at the gym.
02/14 = 210.6. Ate pretty well yesterday except for the TINY piece of cake my co-worker brought to share after lunch. She’s on Weight Watchers, and I’m sure she did not want to eat the whole thing, plus she’s really sweet… DAMN I LOVE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING! I felt like an addict getting their first taste after a period of abstinence. My whole day was great except for that cake. I THINK I made up for it; I tried to overestimate its calories, and ended up under my calorie goal overall. Tonight should actually be pretty healthy. I’m taking my wife out to our favorite sushi place (we usually don’t go out for V-Day at all, but rather save the celebration for the weekend). I’m still not changing my goal for this challenge. I’m still not changing my goal for this challenge. I’m still not changing my goal…
02/15 = 209.6. Less than 15 pounds to goal! Very little exercise yesterday, but did REALLY well eating (especially for V-Day). Had one cookie toward the end of the night, but totally stayed within my calorie goal. Lots of water, good with Na+, and I’m really f***ing happy right now. Gym tonight, but no basketball for another week. Going to lift weights with wife, then do extended cardio (including HIIT) while she goes to Zumba. I think I may be becoming a bit superstitious in this process… is that okay?

Goal = work slowly toward new goal weight 127.0 (then we will see, UGW may be 125)
2/7 - 130.6 - under calories and a short walk, short row yesterday.
2/8 -131.0 - not a great day yesterday, nice walk at noon but no real workout and a bit over calories. Emo day about family stuff, and work is crazy right now. Plus side, trying to rehydrate and that may be part of the "gain"
2/9 - 131.4 - great workout yesterday and also phenomenal overeating. Back to sanity today, trying to stay mindful, breathing at work. Trouble adhering to my limit now that I am so close to goal, part of me says "good enough" but this is the pattern - get to goal and then re-gain! Not, not, not this time.
2/10 - 131.6 - over yesterday and no workout. 12 hours sleep tho. Guess why the discipline was slipping so bad? I think I was totally exhausted. Today so far, more stable and less cravings.
2/11 - 131.6 - yesterday under calories, thanks to a killer workout and 16,000 steps lol. Today so far, not good at all. Aagghh! My discipline is non existent.
2/12 - 131.2 - yesterday under maintenance, though not under my .5/week loss plan. BUT I RAN 6.1 MILES yesterday and it was awesome ... I sometimes forget for a while how much I love running. I resist because it's so hard. But then I get out there and I love it ...
2/13 -130.8 - hello again 130.x - yesterday under calories, only "workout" was walking back to work in the evening which is not my favorite... get stuff done with nobody there though!!
2/14 -130.0 - THIS IS MY ORIGINAL GOAL weight. Go me, thanks fitbit, MFP and ALL my friends. Run and elliptical last night, under calories.
2/15 - 130.2 - grotesque headache all day yesterday, a bit over calories, and no workout other than a short walk at lunch. Not worried by the bounce, planning to use standing workstation and stretch today to avert further pain.

I've done this a couple of times in the past. A LOT of it is water weight and definitely depends on what your eating habits were before counting calories (ie. lots of salt and carbs) and afterwards (less salt and carbs). After the first couple of weeks this slows down and you get into a more normal weight loss. So don't worry! If you are eating a deficit you are losing. I'm currently at a 500 cal deficit a day and lose between 1-3lbs a week. Trust the process.

This is my first round. Thanks to this thread, I feel better in making decisions with what I eat.
Good luck to everyone and wish you all success!
Round 31 Starting Weight: 151.6
Ultimate Goal Weight: 120
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 150.6 lbs: Been eating around my calorie limit of 1200. Measuring my food out. No complaints!
02/08 - 150.4 lbs: I was really under my calorie goal, but during the whole day yesterday, I didn't feel hungry.
The hunger hit me when I went to bed.
02/09 - 150.8 lbs. Agreeable. Yesterday's calorie-intake was a bit of an overload due to boredom.
02/10 - ????? lbs. Had a funeral to attend to yesterday, and ate all of my feelings away. Had a big feast last night. Ate so much I didn't care to log in everything in because I was with family and friends for support. No biggie, just cheated the whole day today.
02/11 - 156.8 lbs. GAINED 6 lbs within 2 DAYS. Understandable... My last meal yesterday was ramen, and so all of that salt retained my weight, right? Correct me if I'm wrong guys lol. I promise to do better today. Fruits with coffee isn't bad for breakfast.
02/12 - 156.8 lbs. Still 6 lbs more than from a few days ago. I could be starting my TOM. Drank lots of water yesterday. Weekly weigh-in is tomorrow
02/13 - 155.2 lbs. This extra weight that I gained after 3 days frustrates me. I don't know what to say.
02/14 - 153 lbs. Thinking about doing a smoothie diet.
02/15 - 151.8 lbs. Finally, thank you God. Well I'm 0.2 lbs over from when I started this round.

**Round 31**
Heaviest/Round 31 Starting Weight: 235lbs at 5’ 11” (Feb 6th 2018)
Lightest Weight: 175lbs (March 2009)
Round 31 Goal Weight: 232 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 185 lbs
Daily Goals:
Drink 90-120oz of water daily; consume 1300 cal and measure food; no added sugars/sweeteners; around 1500mg sodium intake max; get in as many steps as possible; do chi gung; sleep more than 6 hours nightly!
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07: 235 – Almost hit a snag when a major meal ingredient ended up missing, but found a good substitution! Sodium went over pretty badly (2711 mg) – I’ll have to reduce prepared foods for tomorrow. Steps were on the lower end. Everything else good!
02/08: 234.4 - Number moving in the right direction! Missed chi gung, but measuring steps now that FB Blaze is operational. Sodium vastly improved, but still 300 mg over goal.
2/09: 233.6 – All day before dinner was great, hitting all goals! Except…dinner came with pizza, which probably ended up being not so great for both calorie goals and sodium intake. We’ll see how tomorrow looks!
02/10: 234 – Shabbat means rest, and often results in laxity
. Off on water and sleep, chi gung was absent, steps were low (hanging around the house), and I ate a lot more, junk or not. Will have to figure out how to manage this better.
02/11: 236.2 – Number did not surprise me due to Shabbat habits, but I did not like seeing that. It often comes down after a day of disciplined wellness, but we’ll see. Food and exercise goals were on point, but this was my second night with interrupted or less sleep that aimed for. The workweek should put me back in routine for this. Let’s see if I’m impacted by this…
02/12: 234.8 - Number is going back in the right direction! I’ll be foregoing Shabbat laxity for the next few rounds. Have been below my calories just slightly and have been finding I am tired earlier than normal, so I want to make sure I hit those and the macro ratios involved. No chi gung, so I’ll want to do that and up my steps for tomorrow.
02/13: 233 – Under my last lowest weigh-in! Fingers are crossed for my R31 goal! The menu and morning went well. Day progressed decently but got derailed due to a work issue. Got home late and early tiredness returned and knocked me out, resulting in dinner, chi gung, and the last water intake being missed for the day.
02/14: 232.2 – Was able to get up super early (4am) and prep the whole day out. Everything was perfectly on point but the chi gung (still haven’t successfully moved it to the morning). Best day of eating, water, prep (set through the weekend and shopping for next week on Friday), steps, and other supporting factors so far. I’m really excited to hopefully see more progress weighing in tomorrow.
02/15: 229.8 – Whoo hoo! More to come on this day tonight or tomorrow, but this is great and the day is starting out right!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 / 286.4 / Giving myself a cheat day for the Super bowl was a bad mistake. It took until today to correct the damage from salt intake, and I gained weight. Cheat days come at a huge cost.
02/08 / 284.4 / Wow. Guess it took until today to get rid of the salt!
02/09 / 284.2 / Keeping to the program, drinking a lot more water than 8 cups (never more than 12, no worries!)
02/10 / 282.8 / Yay! This is even with company over, and 5 oz of wine. Truth is, I really don’t want more wine. A glass is perfect.
02/11 / 280.8 / I really think this is just me getting my salt intake under control. I’m cooking my own food now and phasing out the “Atkins slurry” frozen dinners xD
02/12 / 281.4 / Salt intake way up. Yesterday was the fluke.
02/13 / 282 / Just riding this out. Still eating to plan.
02/14 / 279.6 / Rode it out. I’m thankful for this group. I can see so many people at various levels of fitness and weight loss and I know now that this kind of thing happens to everyone, all the time. It is not that my body doesn’t know how to lose weight.
02/15 / 278.8 / Yay! I did not eat according to plan last night due to my Valentine. I saved calories for it.

R31 - starting weight 153.3
Ultimate Goal: 143.5
LCHF, Yoga, Walking and Lifting weights
2/7 :: - 153.3 Great day food wise and exercise wise!
2/8 :: - 153.4 food was pretty much spot on until I bought a giant cookie and devoured it - mind you it was my birthday and my only non-low carb treat and dang it was good! I also got in 13k+ steps and lifted weights! I expect to see my weight pop up in a few days due to water retention!
2/9 :: - 153.4 had a good day! I played around with some low carb baking and it turned out well. In the freezer now to enjoy this upcoming week!
2/10 :: - 153.4 today is bday celebrations with the family at the original pancake house. I will try to be good hehehehe went higher in carbs BUT I didn't order pancakes. Shared an omelet and had toast - sour dough toast with butter and strawberry preserves sooooo good!
2/11 :: - 153.4 today got in some steps trying out some new running shoes in my living room and lifted...I Am SORE !! Well...I was doing well with carbs but I ended up too hungry and when I made a low carb chili I ended up eating some Trader Joe Corn Poppers (which are to die for!), and I bet I ate far too many
2/12 :: - 155.0 - water weight likely from weight lifting the day before.
2/13 :: - 155.8 - hmmmm still up. Likely still water weight (I hope!). Went a little crazy on carbs today. There were sweets everywhere at work and starting a lent challenge on Wednesday I took advantage of it
2/14 :: - 155.6 - first day of lent and I'm going to keep my carbs low until it ends. Try to keep it around 20 - 30 net grams per day for the entire time! Update: first day of Lent and it went really well. I was higher in calories then I should be, but my carbs were 27 for the day. Progress not perfection!!
2/15 :: - 155.2 - food is already prelogged and planned for the entire day and looking really good!!!

One bad meal won't transform your body, just like one good meal won't equal immediate results. The body builds itself from habit. --- Jonathan Ross, trainer11 -
I'm back. We will be moving soon, and driving for a week beginning on the 16th, so my goal for the next two rounds is to maintain. Losing a bit would be great, but I won't worry about that, esp. when we're on the road. Thanks again for this group!
Goals this round - Maintain within half a pound of 147; eat mindfully; exercise when possible.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 147
A little surprised, but I walked 3.5 miles yesterday and spent an hour packing and moving boxes around, so it's probably "muscle water" since I stayed within my calorie goal.
02/08 - 147
I went out for dinner last night and my sodium for the day was high, so still water. Otherwise I've been on target and have taken advantage of non-rainy days for nice long walks. I'm happy maintaining, but I won't lie - I'd love to hit 146 before we hit the road. We shall see!
02/09 - 146.8
There's that number again! We hit the road a week from today. Will I drop .8 lb by then? Maybe....
02/10 - 147.2
Makes no sense. But ok, whatever.
02/11- 147.2
And here we are again.
I'm actually quite happy with my resistance to stress eating, living in a house full of boxes and all the other "stuff" that comes with moving, and I think this little uptick is pretty much meaningless. I've stayed on track with calories and macros, and have even gotten a little exercise. All good!
02/12 - 146.8
Up down up down....
02/13 - 147.2
...and up! No surprise, though. I ate out twice yesterday and had high-sodium foods, and I mindfully went over my calorie goal, so no biggie.
02/14 - 147
Thought I might be up today, so this is good.
02/15 - 147
I've been over calories the past two days, so this is fine. I'm not sure I'll weigh in tomorrow - movers will be here at 8 a.m. But if I have a box still open, I'll keep the scale out to end the round before the week of driving and eating out.

Ten pounds from my goal, when I get there I'll reevaluate. I need to see some progress to get there, though! I need to focus.
02/09: 156.5
My muscles are sore today after a new workout class yesterday, have some inflammation. I ate well yesterday and today, but not enough water. Has anyone tried TRX suspension classes? I really enjoyed it and I plan to go once a week.
02/10: 156.5
Thought I'd be down today.
02/11: 156.0
I'm still really very sore from Thursday's exercise class. It hit all the problem areas, triceps, abs & obliques, glutes, back of the thighs. I was thinking about going again tonight but I'm not sure if I can.
02/12: 156.5
I did go to TRX on Sunday after work. I followed that by trying a beginner restorative aerial yoga class... But I experienced severe motion sickness about 2/3 of the way through. The upside-down stuff is not for me. Monday, I went on a nice two-mile hike with my SO and friends from work. Went over on my planned calories but my net calories were under my goal. (I don't deliberately eat back exercise cals but I'm not on severely restricted calories.)
02/13: 156.0
The scale is really not budging for me, but I've made major changes in my exercising and I think it's not unusual to have a lot of water retention when starting a new exercise program. I need to get more fiber and water, too. Went to my third TRX class this am (Thurs-Sun-Tue) and I went to five yoga classes last week (one strenuous, the others slow), plus had some physical work to do at work (hauling brush & shoveling mulch) Sat and Sun, one run, and one hike. I feel like I'm getting such a great workout and I hope the scale starts to reflect my increase in activity.
02/14: 155.0

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 137 and I am off
02/08 - 137.8 yesterday was a no log day. Took a cooking chocoholic class in the morning and it was all down hill after that! But I am on track today. I ran 5.5 miles and am logging
02/09 - 137.4 not on track yet, but getting closer. Logging only half the day. I am a work in progress
02/10 - 137.8 Just not logging. I need a swift kick in the butt to get going!
02/11 - 139.2 UGH!!!
02/12 - 139.4 it has not been a good start but I am feeling motivated. So here's to a good week!!!
02/13 - 138.2 Not logging a full day yet, but definitely getting more mindful. Progress
02/14 - 138.2 Mindful eating, but still not logging. For some reason I can't get motivated. And always working out.
02/15 - 138.4 Maybe the next 10 days, I will log and get the scale to budge
02/1611 -
SWEET! Here's to hoping that the WHOOSH comes again this round. Now, I just need to remind myself that "You've always been BEAUTIFUL. Now you're just deciding to be HEALTHIER, FITTER, STRONGER, and FASTER.
Remember that."
OSW: 202
SW: 159
GW: Anything less than 159 this week.
2/7: 157.4 SAY WHAT NOW?! "The first step to getting anywhere is deciding to not stay where you are."
2/8: 157.4 I really do believe this number will come up. I just can't believe my eyes and think this number is real. I didn't mention it yesterday, but I was in a car accident on the way home from work Tuesday night. No one was hurt and my car wasn't damaged, but my back has been really sore. God waa watching over me for sure. "She believed she could, so she did."
2/9: 158.8 I ate healthy. I ate within my calories, but what I ate had a lot of sodium in it yesterday, and I did not take in as much fluids either. I need to rectify that today. "Don't quit."
2/10: 158.2 I ate well yesterday, but I did indulge in 2 pieces of cheese pizza. It was "National Pizza Day" as my son reminded me. I stayed within calories and my carb goal though. So, I call it a win. However, I was so BEYOND full off those 2 pizzas. I'm not used to that many carbs in one setting anymore. Whew! "Be the girl that decided to go for it."
2/11: 158 Date Night with the hubby last night!!!! I haven't had any 1:1 time with my husband in about a year. We went to dinner and the movies. Unfortunately, dinner was awful, but it left tons of calories for popcorn at the movies and a soda. YUM! "You have to get yourself up every morning, and tell yourself "I can do this."
2/12: 158.6 Bounce...Bounce...Bounce..."It's Monday. Let's make this week better than last week."
2/13: 158.2 Show me the 157 something again. I beg of you. I am over this 158 ride. Yesterday was a true Monday. Lol I survived it though, and I put in more steps than I have in a very long time. Here is to another day. Good luck everyone. You can do it. "I may not be the strongest. I may not be the fastest, but I'll be damned if I'm not trying my hardest."
2/14: 158.2 Happy Valentine's Day everyone. "Love yourself. Mind. Body. Spirit.
2/14: 158.6 Heart Shaped Pizza and a Sprite...Valentine's Day splurge.
