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!

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

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.

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

@cschmitz110515 love it when you post that you and Dog were able to walk outside !!

Thank you! Dog is so happy when we go. Walking outside is probably on hold for days (weeks?) with winter storm arriving tonight and up to 7" wet, heavy snow predicted. Sad me.

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.
3/3 ~ 151.6 ...14,267 steps 1507 calories. Ah back to almost where I was a week ago. Working this weekend so no long hike or walk. Looks like most are killing it on their losses. WTG, Have a great weekend!!
3/4 ~ 150.9 ... 19,270 steps and 1685 calories. Working for a few hours today then headed to the spa!! SO is on his way home after working away for more than 2 months. (so happy) I couldn't get much time off work but managed to wrangle 5 days. We are looking at going away

3/5 ~ 149.9 ... 17,876 steps and 1640 calories. Went to the SPA so nice, but was impatient and screwed up my pedi. Oh well it still looks better then I could have done myself. Back at goal but am going away on Thursday and those numbers will go back up, not worried.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment:

2/27: 240.6
-0.4 lbs. 10,235 Steps, Ate within goals.
2/28: 240.6
No Change. Ate great, walked around 5,000 steps, and did a 30 min. lower body workout.
Since starting these challenges (this is my 3rd round) the jeans that were once tight on me I can slip on and off without unzipping. And I can see the difference already.
3/1: 240
-0.6 lbs. 10,664 Steps, played in the snow with my kiddo, and ate within goals.
3/2: 238.8
-1.2 lbs. Around 5,000 Steps, and 1 Hour Arm and Abs Workout, within all MFP goals
3/3: 239
+0.2 Weighed on new scale today. With the old scale I had to weigh my self a few times and pick the weight that seemed correct. On the new scale it says the same weight every time. 8,622 Steps, within all MFP goals
3/4: 240.4
+1.4 lbs. I'm not surprised I had a gain. I was 100 calories over (and that was after eating my exer. calories), and was the highest I've been is sodium (made pho and stir fry yesterday). Also, did a 1 hour lower body strength training workout.
3/5: 238.6
-1.8 lbs. 10,922 Steps, 150 calories over. Guess I was able to get rid of that water weight gain from yesterday. Lots of water and watched my sodium.

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.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE CHANGE.

2/27 141.0 Revised after multiple trips to the bathroom due to antibiotic side effect. Casino buffet for dinner.
2/28 141.0 (EFD1)Think I’m holding some water as my rings became uncomfortably tight last night.
3/1 140.5 (EFD2) 50 counter pushups and 15 sec counter plank
3/2 140.5 (EFD3)
3/3 139.5 Well I think my scale may be on its death bed. It said 139.5 and shut off when I turned it back on it said 132 about 8 times. Then all it would say is Lo. I just put new batteries in last week! I took a 3 hour nap after I wrote this and before I posted! I knew I was tired. Damn the phone for ringing and waking me up!
3/4 141 Salty eating! “Guts” of a Subway spicy Italian for lunch, naked McDouble at 11:30PM!
3/5 141 I think that 139.5 was a glitch with my scale. I have been under calories and macros for several days.
