Day/Weight/Comment

2/27.. 142.4 Not sure about this drop. 45 min on ellip yesterday. Hopefully gym today. Got my car back!
2/28... 142.6 Got to gym yesterday. This slight gain might be water in muscles. Gonna fix me a stir fry orggie curry today. Haha, meant veggies. It will be an orgie of veggies. Have a great hump day.
3/1...143.4 Grrrrr I let a family situation get to me and had a few glasses of wine. Is that why? 50 on ellip again.

3/2143.4... Took a lovely 45 minute stroll in the drizzle yesterday. Ate decent but no enchilada on the weight loss.

Round 32 start weight - 140.00

Loss to date - 12.6 lbs
Avg loss per round - 1.05lbs

Round 33 start weight - 138.80

Should be more focused for the whole of this round as no weekends away, no cheer competitions, no school holidays..........

R33 goal - 137lb

02/27 - 137.60lb down 1.2lb - think this is a post carb "whoosh!" from my Sunday morning hotel buffet breakfast! Was a good food day yesterday and walked 13,000 steps. No reason its not going to be another good day today - food all prepped and planned and gym session tonight. R33 target in sight

02/28 - 136.80lb another .80lb down. I seem to alternate between a round where I lose and then one where I don't - can only think its my body "settling" into its new weight - or something.... but whatever it is I'm happy today and hoping it carries on! And happy days have lost a stone on these challenges so far (14lbs for our non UK friends!) - so thank you everyone - this group, reading all your posts and "likes" spur me on! Happy Wednesday everyone

03/01 - 137.00 - 0.20lb up for no real reason - so will blame TOM's arrival! Food prepped and with me for work and all planned for tonight's dinner so looking good for today again

03/02 - 135.80lb down 1.2lb ???? No idea where the drops this round have come from - eating same as ever... will have to see if it sticks! Although when I entered my weight into MFP this morning it came up with a huge congratulations message as I had made my target weight!!!!! Must have set that target up about 2 years ago and to be honest had forgotten all about it till today Honestly don't think I've been this weight since I got married 17 years ago! Although I have reset to a lower target to even reach that is a real buzz - definitely going to keep me motivated

Here we go again! I had a rough round last time...who am I kidding?!?!...I had a rough February, my least favourite month....between the blahs and the crazy hormone swings I truly believe that coming in to check in here every day is what kept me from going completely off the rails. March is just around the corner which gives me hope that I'll be able to get out running on the trails again soon once the snow and ice are gone and I won't be stuck working out in the basement.

SW - 182.4 - March 2017
Original GW - 145 - hit this in October 2017 and maintained around 143 up to Januaryish
New GW - 140 or below...I know I can do it!!

2/26 - 147.6 - this is the highest I've been in ages and I know it stems from poor food choices and some whacky peri-menopausal hormone water retention

2/27 - 145.6 - literally flushed away 2lbs of water weight yesterday LOL...I logged every bit of food I put in my mouth and got in a good walk with the dog and a kettlebell workout...was a great day and really motivating to feel in control of things.
2/28 - 143.0 - continued "flushing" yesterday...GOODBYE FEBRUARY!!! I'm moving onwards and downwards!!!
3/1 - 143.2 - no more flushing...now we get down to business. NSV yesterday...on a whim I tried on a pair of size 6 jeans because they didn't have and 8...and they FIT!!! Had to buy them, at least they were from the clearance rack so double score
3/2 - 143.0 - feeling great about this week so far...in control and motivated.

2/27 – 232.6 before breakfast. Super motivated yesterday so I’m looking to continue that!

2/28 – 231.6 this morning. Started to overeat yesterday and then stopped myself and took a long walk. I eat my way through every emotion so the walk was a healthy distraction. The smart part of me knows that I do that so at least the recognition is there. Half the battle, right?

3/1 – 230.6

3/2 – 230.2 before breakfast. I am so proud of this loss!! All day yesterday I walked past candy and cookies and was barely even tempted. I know that eventually I will reach a point where I can eat one and stop but I’m not there yet. For this moment, it feels really good to be in control – I own every bit of that .4 loss!

Round 32: SW 240.6; EW 241.6
Round 33: SW 241.6

Round 33

2/27 / 241.6 / Ate under calories, but it was pretty heavy on rice, which has been known to make me retain some water. My ring isn't tight now, though, which it was for most of the last round. Still getting some activity in every day. No longer have any digestive aggravation.

2/28 / 241.4 / Down a tiny bit. Ate under calories. Activity good. My ring is tight again. This is dumb.

3/1 / 240.6 / I'm working from home today, so my weigh-in was 1.5 hours later than normal. Still, I'll take the loss! Ate under calories. Activity good. My ring is a little snug but not as bad as it has been. I have a lot to do today, work-wise, so I'll have to be mindful that I get up and stretch and move around at times. I have a tendency to get so involved in what I'm doing that I don't move.



3/2 / 240.6 / Late weigh-in again. Ate a smidge under calories and got my activity in. My ring feels back to normal. Same deal as yesterday with needing to MOVE during the day instead of growing roots! There is a howling wind outside which has me weirdly jumpy.

If a client has come to me looking to lose 10 pounds, I would tell them to simply move. Move more and more often. Walk or bike ride to class or work, even park further away from your location in the parking lot. Take the stairs or take a walk during lunch. You don’t have to spend hours every day in the gym sweating, but you do have to make a conscious effort to move more, and sit less. This works great because it doesn’t feel like work and you’re burning more and more calories throughout the day. — Ajia Cherry, personal trainer and Founder at Functional Innovative Training

2/27 ~ 155.4 Down a little, but am expecting a whoosh soon. Under cut my calories yesterday, that was ok as I think I was still full from the weekend. 16,400 steps 1235 calories.
2/28 ~ 157.6 ... Life! Ate too much and moved not enough. Plus some high sodium foods. Spent some quaility time with my youngest. Hope to spend the next few days back at it, although SO gets to come home in the next week or so and we may go away!!! So excited. 11,627 steps and 2382 calories (best estimate) Egg white omlete for dinner?? Oh no!! I also have a dr appointment during my lunch walk, these numbers look like they may be a slow downward climb. Not worried. As a bonus I found 10 bucks on my lunch walk yesterday, this exercise thing is starting to pay off!!
3/1 ~ 156.1 ... Hooray it's March!! 15,755 steps and 1291 calories. Cutting down to 1200's due to my weekend indulgence. Coming down very very slowly. Have a measurment day coming up and sad this bloat will may still be on.

3/2 ~ 155 ... 17,001 steps 1554 calories. Slowly going back down. So quick to rocket up, but so darn slow to get back down.
