Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 = 161.6 Got in a 4-mi fast walk in the neighborhood yesterday and ate smart too. This is the lowest weight I’ve been since probably before children (28 years ago)! Headed to Florida at the end of this round, and I so want to be in the 150s by then. Fingers crossed!
2/28 = 161.6
3/1 = 162.4 Was in a car wreck on 2/27 and all I did yesterday was rest in the recliner. Ate ok, but exercise is so important for me to be able to lose weight. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get in a walk today.
3/2 = 161.8 Was able to walk on the treadmill after work yesterday.
3/3 = 160.8 Headed in the right direction!
3/4 = 159.6 This is SUCH a milestone for me! I don’t even remember being in the 150s since I met my husband in 1983. I just want this trend to continue!
3/5 = 159.6 Still SO happy to be in the 150s!
3/6 = 159.8 Fingers crossed that the trend line keeps going down. No bounce, please!
3/7 = 159.2 :-)

03/01 277.3 32.3% BF / Today's rest day plus rainy so probably no hike today a little surprised at the weight number but will see what the week averages out to be
03/02 279.9 33.2% BF / Up a tad but wasn't too good yesterday with food hate business meetings over lunch
03/03 278.7 33.9% BF / Moved down which is good starting to not believe my scales BF reading much but guess average over the week is better tracking another Strength day of weights and some cardo at the end hoping weather stays good going for a hike
03/04 279.7 34.0% BF / Ate OK yesterday say a lot of sodium so surprise went up even though had a lot of exercise going for hike today and some light gym work

03/07 275.3 34.2% BF / Holy moly I'll take it weighed myself 3 times 278 then 275 x2 so maybe my scale is just f'n with me but either way good progress

Down 3.1 lbs from start so very happy with results9 -
this was my first round and reading the post. seeing all the weight loss each morning was awesome. I will be doing the next round but my weight will be mostly water loss. keep up the great work everyone.
start weight 215
ending weight 2076 -
hello all. i am doing 7 week challenge at work now. only 2.5 weeks left. why not get motivation hear to. my goal is to win the challenge and the money. i guess under 200 would be nice. don't want to ever be less then 180 again. 1/19 weight 234.8
weight on the industrial pallet scale.
2/28 - 215lbs 347 calories in - 324 burned brisk walk = 23 net. I know I am an idiot but I felt good today
3/1 - I am sorry I didn't know my posts would show up last on the list. hope I didn't mess up your post. wont happen again. 213lbs today and plan on 1000 calories by the end of the day.
3/2 - 213 again. eat all the foods on my list all day long and dinner lasted until I couldn't fit any more food in me. feel great but was a little shy of my 1000 calories. no access to scale until Monday.
3/3 - 211lbs - 18oz whiskey last night. must be dehydrated a little. managed to reach 1900 calories but 1200 were alcohol.
3/5 - 209lbs today - planned binge weekend. 2 weeks left in competition and I wanted to be relaxed and ready. now its time to step it up. I am adding at least an hour of brisk walking a day. also we are picking up a stationary bike today. if I have the willpower I do not plan on any alcohol till this is over. calorie goal is 500 a day but i wont be mad at myself for a day 1000. lets see what this old body can handle.
3/6 - bobbled on 207 then settled on 208. I guess that's not bad since I had a monster snack after a 90 minute workout. 12oz ground beef topped with mustard at 8pm. it did bring me up to 1000 calories so big food day for me. hopefully I can keep up a pound a day till march 19. no alcohol so almost no sleep
3/7 - 208 again,. extremely disappointed considering calorie count and 90 minute bike ride, its going to be a long hard day. don't know if its the burger from the other night or my body adapting to no alcohol. sure hope this is a one day slip.
3/8 - 207 cardio for 2 hours last night. 800 calories in and burned 1100. hopefully I start my next round with good momentum. I do have a new scale so you might notice a different starting weight tomorrow.

Goal for this round: diet break/maintenance 3/1-3/14
2/27: 135.8 - so I’m planning my second diet break this week. I’ve been waiting 12 weeks for this and I’m so excited. I really think it will help renew and recharge me.
2/28: 136.0 - great day yesterday: did day 2 of couch to 5k without stopping, felt really good, then ate a huge salty dinner within my calorie goal
3/1: 136.2 - day 1 of diet break. I’m honestly not sure how many calories to shoot for. Should be interesting!
3/2: 136.6 - finished week 1 of couch to 5k. Felt great at the time but I’m a little sore this morning. I’m still worried I’m overeating but I guess time will tell.
3/3: 136.0 - fish fry/rest day yesterday. Went over my made up maintenance by 400. Oops?
3/4: 137.8 - idk what’s happening with my weight. I’m starting to think weighing daily during a diet break isn’t a good idea. I might skip round 34. Anyway, yesterday I did a little yoga, and then went with husband and kids to a tour of our local Major League Baseball stadium. It was really cool and we got to go on the field and into the dugout! Then we had a yummy and highly caloric dinner at Burger Fi! Great day.
3/5: 137.8 - bought a new sports bra and did a really good run (for me, lol). I’ve noticed this morning I am pretty sore and bit dehydrated, so my goal today is to drink lots of water.
3/6: 136.8
3/7: forgot
3/8: 136.09 -
I have been doing this for too long now - without any results. I have really got to buckle down and get this done. Summer is just around the corner!

3/08 - 185.6.....Nice to see the scale going down for once!
DOWN 3 pounds this Round......YIPPEE!
It won't be easy, but it will be worth it!
My ultimate goal is 170lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

Well I'm starting this round with my best intentions. I am up about 6 lbs from my recent lowest weight and I am not enjoying the way my clothes have been fitting. I did show up for the last round, but mentally my eating patterns have been self destructive/ that little voice in my head has been giving me permission to overeat and make excessive food choices
Gotta get back on it.

02/27 179.2 still thinking a bit up due to hormones. drinking water and sticking to the plan.
02/28 177.6 the plan is working! sticking to it today.. 30 days til spring break!
03/01 176.6 good
03/02 176.0 good
03/03 178.2 I was traveling so ate out 2 meals yesterday. Dinner out last night must of been high in sodium! Drinking lots of water today.
03/04 178.6 I ran a mile yesterday while my kiddo was taking her swim lesson. Felt pretty good, I haven't tried to run in a long long time (maybe a year? More?) the cardio was a breeze but I could feel some tight spots in my leg protesting. Not that sore today. Had some drinks with my husband last night so ended up being a maintenance day. Still have 4 days to make my goal for this round so I'm keeping my chin up. Going to sushi buffet for lunch though. Plan is to eat a Big Salad first before any sushi!
03/05 182.2 wow, crazy to think I can fluctuate 6 lbs in 3 days. Trying not to cry about it. It's monday and I'm just moving on, need to use the scale as a motivator and quit making bad choices on the weekend. Drinking water and writing down my plan for the day. At least there are no big challenges coming up this week!
03/06 178.4 maybe the scale was wrong? what the heck.
03/07 177.8
03/08 177.4
Ok, not too bad. didn't hit my scale goal, but average weight this round was 178.2 so overall I consider it a win.
See ya next round.9 -
Started last round at 144 and ended on 2/26 at 143. My goal for this round is to lose another pound. Creeping slowly toward goal.
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.
3/3..142.6 This is a surprise as I ate ham for dinner and expected water gain. The ham was great and so is the drop.
Happy Saturday to all.Enjoy your day. Do something just for you.
3/4..143.4 Had great workout yesterday at gym. It felt so good to challenge myself. More ham. It's so good. Today, salad and chicken breast. Elliptical or pool workout. half way through and haven't lost. gained. blah.
3/5..143.4 Well at least I'm not gaining! Did 50 on ellip and so-so on food. Nothing extreme but some processed stuff. Today: gym.
3/6..143.4.. Same despite long workout yesterday and clean eating. Getting discouraged here.
3/7 ??? forgot
3/8...143.4 I'm .4 higher than I started. Ate out last night. had wine, shared dessert. Well here's to the next 10.9 -
Our 10-day drive from Oregon to Indiana via the Southwest followed by more time in a motel and eating out plus beginning the search for a house has made me want comfort food & junk I haven't eaten in 3 years. This round I'm trying to just be aware, and when I do eat stuff I don't normally touch, to acknowledge why I'm doing it. If I can finish this round no more than 2 pounds over by last weigh in, that will be fine. Better will be to finish where I was -- 146.8 at the end of R31. Then back to actually paying attention & losing.
Goals this round - Replace my scale, and finish round no higher than my last weigh in of 146.8.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 - no scale
Haven't replaced my sale yet, still living in motel because our stuff hasn't arrived. Sigh. Trying to eat properly. No idea about my weight, but I did buy size 10 jeans tonight, so there's that!
2/28 - no scale
See yesterday (without the jeans).
3/1 - no scale
I'm finding myself wanting to eat junk I haven't bothered with in 3 years. Still in the motel, movers apparently aiming for the last day of their delivery window. Sigh. I'm going to try at least to get a scale tomorrow to I can see how much damage I've done over the past 13 days.
3/2 - no scale
I didn't get to the scale store but I ate better today, and burned a bunch of calories driving around for hours (house hunting). Still in the motel, but the mover will finally be here Tues. and I can get back to my usual programming.
3/3 - no scale
Same old, same old. I did get some exercise. Other than driving - we went walking in a park this morning and this afternoon we walked all over the home & garden show. I'm eating within bounds, though not as healthy as I usually do. Three more nights in the motel, and then we can get back to normal. It's been a long 15 days.
3/4 - no scale
I thought about picking up a scale today, but decided not to fight Sun. afternoon shoppers.
Tomorrow for sure. I seem to have satisfied my junk food splurge, and am back to healthier eating (considering we're still eating out). I'm looking forward to getting back to my normal routine - weigh in first thing, eat healthfully at home most of the time, walk. Who knew quiet routine would sound so appealing? Anyway, thanks for letting me record my thoughts here - it actually helps keep me mostly on track, and to understand when and why I'm not.
3/5 - nope
I bought a scale today, but it was after breakfast so I have not weighed in. Probably won't tomorrow as we're still in the motel, but tomorrow is (finally!) move-in day, so on Wed. morning I'll be able to check the damage of 2.5 weeks of eating out & staying in motels. I will be so glad to start eating at home!!! I'm pretty sure I'm up a few pounds, but also pretty sure some of it is water from all the restaurant food. I also look forward to getting more exercise, and less of it from driving!
3/6 - tomorrow!
We moved into our apt. -finally! So happy to be out of the motel, even though it was very nice. Tomorrow I'll weigh in (eek) and go from there.
3/7 - 149.1
Total damage for 2.5 weeks of travel, motels, and restaurant eating with some snack junk throw in - 2.3 pounds. Yay! Got back on track eating today, although still eating out as no time for groceries yet. But still...
3/8 - 149.2
I'm fine with this 2.4 lb gain, considering the past 3 weeks. I'll ditch 'em in R34. Thanks for putting up with my or relent posts - it really helped me stay aware of what I was eating, even when it wasn't the best.

In for my second round!
OSW: 252
Ultimate GW: ?
Woman, Age 46, 5'6"
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.
3/3 / 238.8 / Woot! Late weigh-in because of the weekend. Squeaked in under calories. Hit my steps goal.
3/4 / 238.6 / Still creeping downward. I ate a ton of fries yesterday that forced me to exercise for a loooong time, but it was worth it.
3/5 / 239.2 / Normal fluctuation after two days of drops. My exercise was more intense yesterday, and more clustered. I'm a little sore across my shoulders today.
3/6 / 239.8 / A little unexpected, but I know it will come down again. I think that's the nicest thing about a good eating/tracking/exercise routine. You know it will come down again!
3/7 / 239.6 / And the drift back down (hopefully) begins again! I could have had a HUGE calorie deficit yesterday (800 calories less than my goal), but decided to eat a bit more to ensure that I wasn't ravenous this morning. I don't know if that's the better strategy or if it's better just to let there be a huge deficit if it feels okay that day. I know I don't want to have huge deficits every day. Thoughts welcome!
3/8 / 238.2 / Great time for another drop! I actually feel rather awful this morning, and my Achilles is not better. Still, I'm pretty pleased with the results for this 10 days and feel like I'm making progress. Thank you, my friends, just for being there and sharing your journeys!
-3.4 pounds for the round. Weight loss is a crazy rollercoaster, y'all! 7 -
Round 1 for me (Round 33): 202.8
I am hoping this keeps me focused as I am three weeks into my new Keto lifestyle and loving it so far.
2/27: 202.8
2/28: 202 I was shocked that I would have gone down at all -
Struggling to get into any consistent workout routine. I have the Aaptiv app but making time for it. Today I plan to take a walk during my lunch hour if only to get in a 20 minute walk
3/1: 202 - this makes sense I didn’t go walking at lunch too much snow. Skipped the treadmill this am because I’m fighting a stomach bug. I’ll just keep logging and making good food choices. I can do this!
3/2: 201.8 - I never ended up working out yesterday so this doesn’t surprise me and I am fine with it going slow. I did get on the treadmill bright and early before work today. It felt great and I think next week I will get back into my routine. I know this weekend will be filled with skiing with the kiddos.
3/3: 200,4 - this is great news but I’m surprised since I had alcohol the night before. I’m feeling a bit dehydrated so this might be all it is. Took a long walk today got more than my steps in which is great. We will see if this holds for tomorrow.
3 / 4: 199.8 - can’t be more excited about this. Breaking the 200 barrier is fab! Headed out skiing with the family. Today starts week 4 of my new Keto lifestyle and so far so good!
3 /5: 200.4 So I didn’t get to ski yesterday my husband forgot mine so I watched the boys sled. First day I didn’t log my food in three weeks. Not worried as this is pretty normal little bump. I lost two pounds in a week which is already great! I’m shocked his challenge is almost done...
3/6 - 198.8 - worked out yesterday morning and then took a walk for lunch. I’m surprised and a bit skeptical this will stick. We will see - home with a sick kid today so unlikely I’ll workout.
3/7- 199.8 - not sure what to make of it but I’ll be happier when I’m further from the 200 mark. Worked out hard this am. Hoping to finish strong in my first challenge.
⅜ - 199.0- so happy to have finished at this number! I was a little worried because since I started Keto I’ve lost just over 10lbs so I had some wine last night.
Total challenge loss:3.8 lbs - I’ll take it!

Gain from end of round 32: 6.8 pounds. I'll get it off next round since it's mostly water weight, again. I have got to stop this falling off the healthy eating wagon. I'm not sure why I keep doing it, but it makes me feel like crap.7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
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!
3/3 - 228.8 this morning. Wow - was not expecting that. Ate out last night and didn't watch as closely as I should have. Usually takes 2 days for the change to show so we'll see what tomorrow brings!
3/4 – 230 before breakfast. Not surprised and glad I got the gain out of the way!
3/5 – 229.6 this morning. Gotta try to get water in today. It’s just a struggle!
3/6 – 229.6 again. 12 hour work day which is not typical so I’ll have to be very mindful of what I eat and not give in to a fast food quick fix!
3/7 – 229 before breakfast.
3/8 – Holding steady at 229.8 -

Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, otherwise I get cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me.

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 Training6 -

2/27 - 130.0 - down one since yesterday and starting exactly where I started Round 32. No big deal, this is a slow game! Yesterday under calories, 10K steps and 15 floors
2/28 - 130.2 - kinda meh I confess people! over calories again, planned rest day due to other priorities. Here is to a better day today, even if it did start with a muffin
3/1 - 130.0 - under calories yesterday and a strong workout. Let's MARCH friends!
3/2 - 129.4 - under calories yesterday, got 7500 steps and 8 floors but no organized workout. 5 minutes of planks already today tho!
3/3 - 129.0 - back to lowest weight, under calories yesterday, modest workout and hit step goal.
3/4 - 128.4 - new low which likely means, dehydrated! over calories by a bit yesterday, not feeling great so no workout. Headache today ... such is life ... patience. Breathing.
3/5 - 129.2 - just at calories to lose .5/week yesterday, started A Workout Routine which is a simple beginner's weight training, I CAN DO BOY STYLE PUSHUPS AGAIN I discovered. Those planks paid off!
3/6 - 128.4 - under calories, hit step goal, short run about 2.7 miles.
3/7 - 129.2 - bounce but that's how this works. Excited about my average this round. Yesterday my meet-up day after work, headache all day, over on calories: but got in A Workout Routine workout B at home with resistance bands. Feeling clever about that.
3/8 - 129.2 - at maintenance yesterday, no workout but short walks - getting sick I believe, so grateful that I usually am healthy enough to dose up and go. Big day at work
Super pleased with this round tho, average down over a half pound.

2/27 / 274.0 / Welcome back all!
2/28 / 273.6 /
3/01 / 273.4 / Raining today. I love rain.
3/02 / 273.6 / Ate out yesterday, saved half for dinner. Logged all the items (simple ingredients) but I think the sodium caused a small increase. No worries. Under calories.
3/03 / 275.0 / So. Yesterday I did not drink water. I’ve been drinking in excess of 96 ounces per day the past two weeks, and I just stopped cold turkey. I woke up at 5am with the worst hangover-type headache so I immediately drank about 40 oz. Then I had coffee, and then I weighed in. Also went to a wedding today and accurately counting my calories will be impossible, though I stuck to only salad and meat. We’ll see what happens.
3/04 / 274.6 / Back at it. I have my water ready to go after two days of uneven consumption.
3/05 / 273.6 / Working the plan, no weddings or birthdays on the horizon.
3/06 / 273.6 / Working the plan, plus upped my walking game. My ankles are not happy but I am!
3/07 / 272.4 / Wow. I am so happy to weigh every day! I can see how weight loss is a very uneven process.
3/08 / 271.6 / Really uneven.8 -

Female, 5'4"
Starting Weight: 135 lbs
Goal Weight: 115 lbs - Met in late 2017
I met my goal weight in late 2017. My new goal now is to stay around 115 average. Lately I've been ranging around 110-112 lbs. Since switching to a whole food plant based diet, I can't seem to stop losing weight, despite reintroducing alcohol into my diet. It's about the seemingly unimportant decisions. But consistently making them everyday is what leads to success.
Goal This Round: Maintain 115 lbs Average
2/27 • 112 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1300 cal
2/28 • 111 • Ran 3.5 miles. 1350 cal
3/1 • 111 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1350 cal. 4 servings of alcohol
3/2 • 110 • Ran 3.5 miles. 1300 cal
3/3 • 111 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1550 cal. 4 servings of alcohol
3/4 • 109 • Skiing all day. 1700 cal. 4 servings of alcohol
3/5 • 109 • Played 2 sets of tennis. 1600 cal. 4 servings of alcohol
3/6 • 111 • Lifted weights. 1300 cal
3/7 • 110 • Ran 3 miles & lifted weights. 1900 cal. 3 servings of alcohol. I seem to have opposite fluctuations as others. I tend to lose weight on weekends and vacations. And then gain back during a normal work week. I always thought that was normal until reading everyone’s posts here.
3/8 • 110 • Played 2 sets of tennis. 2000 cal. 4 servings of alcohol.

I sort of stopped posting last round because there was nothing new. 156-157-156-157... I actually have been doing quite well with exercise and been OK on nutrition but a little on the high side for calories. Still calculate that I've had enough of a deficit to lose at least a tiny bit this month but nope. I feel like I've added some muscle in the last month, I mean I physically feel stronger (I've added some strength training TRX and yoga), but the tape measure isn't giving me any love, either.
02/28: 155.5
When I stepped on a second time it was 156.0 but I'm claiming the lower number anyway. Good day for nutrition and water, a rest day for strenuous exercise but I did take a walk and did restorative yoga.
03/01: 156.0
No sugar, exercised, water, well under my daily calories.
03/02: 155.0
Good day for nutrition & calories, need more water.
03/03: 155.0
03/04: 154.0
A new low for me. I had comfort pizza for dinner though, so never mind tomorrow's weigh in.
03/05: 155.0
Luckily had today off, I have a cold. I did absolutely nothing and ate light, lots of liquids.
03/06: 152.5
All that tea, I guess. ???
03/07: 153.0
Three sick days. I guess I haven't had anything inflammatory and had lots of fluids. If I can hang onto this loss, I'm two pounds away from a 50 lb loss, which is exciting. I made it down to 155 in 2000, anything lower than that and I haven't seen it since the 80s (my teens).

Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 = 208.2 (-1.4). This is my expected next day weight drop after basketball. A couple of things - my reconstructed knee hurts. I lifted weights last night, but not at my normal gym, and I didn't get the workout I usually do. I knew it as it was happening; my knee hurt. Basketball was just okay. I felt old, and a little broken, even though I still played relatively well. It was still okay, but I REALLY need to get my workout in, and have that workout IN A WAY THAT WORKS FOR ME. Eating was good yesterday. Two days off before basketball happens again. I might need to consider skipping it at least once, depending on how I'm feeling. I hope my knee feels better.
2/28 = 208.6 (+0.4). Had a planned cheat MEAL (not day) for lunch yesterday, and it was GLORIOUS - Nashville hot chicken sandwich from a place here in LA that never has less than a 2-hour wait (I got a hook-up). I ate accordingly to offset my indulgence (salmon and vegetables for dinner), so a small weight gain here is not an issue. My knee feels better this morning, which is a welcome relief with basketball coming tomorrow night. I should have a decent day calorie-wise, though I know I'll be a bit over in Na+.
3/1 = 207.4 (-1.2). Ate well yesterday, got a bit of a whoosh. This is the time I need to remind myself to stay on track. Don't get too excited. It's okay to be happy, but don't let it make me complacent. I have basketball tonight (I think) and lifting weights at the gym (definitely), so today can be a another great day. I have everything up until dinner pre-planned, and dinner (after basketball) will be light. Need to remember to drink extra water early on this exercise day, and to make sure to get the workout I want at the gym tonight.
3/2 = 206.4 (-1.0). Expected loss after basketball, and a new low. I have to acknowledge something. I've been trying to ignore the fact that my knee has been feeling like crap, and that I'm noticing it getting worse. I haven't slowed down at all yet exercise/basketball-wise, but I'm afraid that I probably should, at least in the short-term. Good day of eating yesterday. Drank plenty of water. Feeling depressed with this rain, and about my knee.
3/3 = 206.6 (+0.2). Tiny gain is not a problem. Ate moderately well yesterday. Had a couple of sweet things, but I did it in moderation. I'm going to the gym today, and I'm going to hyper-focus on getting my bad leg (knee) strong. I am NOT giving up any of my basketball yet, except maybe one day this week (none scheduled today, maybe skip Monday). Trying to fight through this little lull/depression and stay motivated. At least I'm having a great round regarding my weight. It helps, and I needed this. Modifying my challenge goal slightly to stay motivated.
3/4 = 210.6 (+4.0!!!!) The curse of changing my challenge goal returns! I have no words for this. I'm pretty sure I didn't even eat 4 pounds of food yesterday. I get that it was a bad day eating; I was about 1200 calories over maintenance. I also know that I revisited a couple of bad habits that I needed to be reminded of. I'm sure this number will get down in the next couple of days, but SHEESH. I made a decision about my knee that I hope will help (it has in the past), because it HURTS. Meals are all planned for today, and I'll be under my calorie goal.
3/5 = 209 (-1.6). I should be pretty much back to normal by Thursday, but my recent 4-pound gain in one day is a major reminder of how every meal counts. 4-6 pound gains used to be common weekend occurrences for me, but I've been getting through weekends staying even for the most part. This was a good remember that going back to old habits really isn't an option anymore. Yesterday's eating was under control and right on the mark regarding calories.
3/6 = 209 (no change). I got tricked into a bad lunch yesterday by a co-worker (fatty salt bomb), and spent the rest of the day trying to offset it. Drank a ton of water, ate well for dinner, and ended the day at "even." NSV. Still hoping to drop some off my weekend weight in the next couple of days. Going to the gym tonight to lift weights. I AM going to do some HIIT tonight as well, even if I don't want to.
3/7 = 208.6 (-0.4). Fought my way through HIIT last night after lifting weights. Ended the day slightly under calories (ate back 80% of my exercise calories). My knee killed me last night, but it's better this morning. I'm feeling challenged right now. Exercise is hard because of the knee, so I'm getting a cortisone injection tomorrow (have major arthritis in my reconstructed right knee, so cortisone is not a problem). Food is sneaking up on me right now. I need to refocus myself, be kind to myself, and stick with realistic expectations. Sometimes I get to excited, I let my guard down for a moment, and I have that "4 pounds in one day" result. Stay mindful every day, every meal. It's not just the way my body looks; it's my health. The choices I make matter. Poor ones have consequences.
3/8 = 207.4 (-1.2). Happy to end the round in a positive note (2.2 lbs for the round ). Ate at a slight deficit, but still recovering from my weekend, so this was hoped/expected. See you all in the next round!8 -

Goals for this round: track all calories, water, sodium, and steps; also lose 3 lbs.
Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 - 191.6 (not a good start), net calories burned ~ 1000, water (5 glasses), sodium -1670, 11,800 steps. could use more water, otherwise ok.
2/28 - 190.4 (back to 2/26 weight), about 1100 calorie deficit, 64 oz water, sodium - 2706, 11,900 steps. I'm starting to think my calories burned are a bit on the high side -- I'm relying on what my fitbit is telling me.
3/1 - 190.0 - good!, deficit ~ 1100, 56 oz water, sodium ~ 2138, 12,900 steps
3/2 - 189.8 - got up around 5 am, weighed 191, couldn't go to work due to weather, went back to bed, woke up 4 hours later, and weighed 189.8. Not sure why that happens -- is it me processing the previous day or is it my scale trying to decide what number to display. there's not much I can do about it, but it's good to know THAT can happen. Calorie deficit ~1500, 56 oz water, very few steps due to weather (~3,000), but mangaged to ride stationary bike for about an hour, plus 1 Jillian Michaels DVD.
3/3- 188.8 (after sleeping in a bit) weather is looking better, hope to get in a nice walk. Rested most of the day, deficit ~ 500 calories, water- not good, sodium-1641. Few steps
3/4 - 188.0 - deficit ~ 1500, 56 oz water, sodium 1793, 13,400 steps
3/5 - 188.2 - deficit ~ 1200, 56 oz water, sodium 2177 (not as bad as I thought), 12,500 steps
3/6 - 188.0 - deficit ~ 1200, 64 oz water, sodium 1611 (better than yesterday!), 12,200 steps
3/7 - 187.2 - so far, not feeling great; it's either allergies or a cold. It's raining/snowing today. Not sure if I'll get a decent walk in today
. Did not do much all day, worked from home, no walking, deficit < 500 calories, but ok
3/8 - 187.2 - happy to maintain
R33 loss = 3.2 pounds. I'm happy with that.
