03/28 - 139.2 - I didn't reach my 10 day goal, although in the past 3 challenges I have lost 10.6 lbs, for an average of 3.53 lbs a challenge (2.65 lbs/week), so I definitely won't complain 4 -
1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
new goal - drop below 190 feed and watered
round 33 - start=215lbs end 202lbs
round 34 - start = 202 end 192.8lbs
round 35 - start = 192 end 196lbs
3/19 -- 197lbs clothed. final weigh in for work challenge. today will be healthy lunch and a victory 1/2 pound burger with ham, bacon, cheese and all the fixings for dinner at my local watering hole. then back to maintenance grind. goal is set to not be over 20% body fat or over 200#.
3/20 -- 197lbs +5lbs? - victory dinner -half pound cheeseburger with bacon, ham, and all the fixings along with fried mushrooms. I paid the price for that dinner. logged 2900 calories for the day witch is the highest in 7 weeks. I actually had hick-ups most of the night. back to maintenance. packed a great 200 calorie lunch and have lots of awesome healthy leftovers ready for dinner.
3/21 - 197 - not bad. I really thought I would be up all week. eat good yesterday morning and had large dinner. but the snacks at class later that night put me slightly over my goal. goal is 1750 calories daily and maintenance is 2700 so I still feel good at 1900
3/22 196lbs - did not plan on a loss considering brats with bun for dinner but I was still around goal calories after having a few cocktails. regularly carbs are high, fats are low, protein is high, sugar is very low
3/23 - 195lbs - really surprised at this. has to be water loss from having a few mix drinks! ( "A few" LOL. that was funny)
3/24 - 194lbs - I am going to stick with 1750 calories and see if this is just a fluke.
3/25 - 194lbs - party tonight with friends. I am sure the drinking and eating will be out of control so I have eaten super light for the past 24 hours. tomorrow my wife wants to eat exactly what I do. I have everything for each of us all portioned out so there is no temptation to cheat.
3/26 - 197lbs -- weekend of home cooking, dinner parties, bloody mary sunday, -- hummm a hangover weighs exactly 3 pounds.
3/27 - 198lbs = feeling extra large today. I extended my weekend binging into Monday, still good on calories but I seem to stall or gain when drinking,. bottle is gone now so maybe I loose a few before the weekend. wife liked the meal planning I did and couldn't finish the 1067 calories I portioned for her, she did spice things up a little but finished day just under 1300. first time I ever heard her say she was under her 1600 goal
3/28 - 196lbs and a little surprised by the drop. overall pleased with the 10 days. I came in the lightest I have been in 23 years and stayed under 200.
I think I figured out why I gained weight over the years. i don't look at myself very often. i didn't see the gain and i still cant see the 35lbs i lost in the last 8 weeks. for this reason i am going to try and loose the love handles and slight beer gut. maybe then i will notice if it comes back. see ya all in the next round.4 -
Ending weight (round 34) - 185.2
3/19 - 186.4....Up a bit over the weekend, but still on track
3/20 - 186.0
3/21 - 187.8....It's the damn evening snacking that's killing me!
3/22 - 187.2
3/23 - 185.4....Actually feels good, to be back in the zone! Not giving up the evening snacks completely, just in
moderation.
3/24 - 185.2
3/25 - 186.0
3/26 - 186.4
3/27 - 186.0....Really finding it difficult to commit.
3/28 - 186.4....Well...that round was uneventful!
It won't be easy, but it will be worth it!
My ultimate goal is 170lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

Back again! Hello everyone!! My motto this week is "write it before you bite it" as I haven't been super consistent logging my food lately.
SW - 182.4 - March 2017
Original GW - 145 - Smashed this in October 2017 and maintained around 143 until the winter blahs and my crazy freelance schedule got the better of me and I put a few back on.
New GW - 140 - really want to work on getting another 5-7 off from where I am now and committing to fitness so I can participate in some adventures with my boys over the summer...no more watching from the sidelines!!
3/18 - 147 - coming in from round 34
3/19 - 147.4 - weekend aftermath...blaming it on the beer. We were super active so I can only hope some of this is also muscle recovery as well.
3/20 - 146.4 - One year ago today....I started tracking my food and weight everyday with the intention of losing 20lbs before a big family vacation and then to keep going to lose a bit more before the summer. I've gone from barely squeezing into size 12 pants and covering my top with flowy XL shirts to not event hesitating to go to the size 8's and smalls and even bought a pair of size 6 jeans last week. I'm participating in sports and activities with my active kids instead of watching from the sidlines!! I'm very proud of myself...it's hasn't all been down...but I didn't let the upswings derail me. Weighing and checking in here everyday has made me very mindful of how my choices affect the scale and what those trends really mean in the long run. I still have some goals to achieve but if this chocolate/craft beer/wine loving mama can do it so can anyone!!
3/21 - 145.6- working it off...
3/22 - 144.6 - Wooot!! Under 145 again!!!
3/23 - 144.0 - Still coming off!! Hoping to get back down to 143 before we leave on vacation next week...if I can only keep the wine in control this weekend.
3/24 - 142.8 - Yep!!! That happened!!! I expect this will rebound a bit over the weekend. I think I will back off the deficit a bit and start eating more of my activity calories back.
3/25 - 143.8 - Saturday night beer and pizza rebound
3/26 - 143.0 - best weekend I've had in a while!! Two more days until we leave on our trip...gotta keep it under control during the stress of packing on the sly...this vacation is a surprise for the boys and they have no idea teeheehee....
3/27 - 143.0 - sticking around here
3/28 - 141.4 - And THAT happened I went at things pretty aggressively this round to get down to a really good place before our vacation....tonnes of exercise and activity and I really watched my calories and where they came from. I'll be rocking my bikini on the beach!!! We leave in a few hours and I doubt I'll see a scale until we get back so I likely won't check in next round. Have a good one folks!!! 5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 184.6 no comment, just tears. tomorrow will be a better day.
3/20 182.2 a bit better, but still stupidly high. Decided to do IF (5/2) for two days a week and see if that helps get me back on track with my habits. Our Spring break is in 10 days and I can't afford to buy new pants, lol.
3/21 178.8 I did my low cal day yesterday so I was expecting a good drop. That's almost 6 lbs of water weight in 2 days. Pretty crazy. I really think some of this is hormonal fluctuations and not drinking enough water. But today I am writing my plan and sticking to it. 9 days til our trip!
3/22 177.8 so not bad, feeling a bit more like myself. That was probably the end of the water weight so maybe a real loss in the next few days. Low cal day again today, have my meals planned out and sticking to the plan. Lots of water today. We are having a cold snap, so I'm drinking it hot with lemon.
3/23 177.0 my low cal day yesterday went well, food tastes amazing when you are truly hungry, lol. today, just watching my portions and planning on a glass of wine tonight.
3/24 179.2 grrr apparently the scale is very bouncy when you do a 5/2 way of eating. I guess it makes sense because your stomach is more empty volume wise on fasting days? my 5 day average is the same as last round, so I guess the high weight isn't sticking around at least. I hope to see a drop for the next few days!
3/25 180.2 haha this round is really ridiculous. I just don't even know what to think anymore and neither does my scale. I guess I could blame this on TOM rapidly approaching? only a few more days till my trip!
3/26 180.8 had a wine and Proyo movie date with my husband last night which bumped me over my calories a bit. Back on track today. On the + side my trend tracker is showing a downward trend again so that makes me feel I'm headed in the right direction, despite this stupid # on the scale.
3/27 177.6 for today's wild and wacky weigh in! not bad, keep going!
3/28 178.8 up down up down. Stayed within my cals yesterday, idk. I'll see y'all in round 37, my family and I are traveling for spring break next round . Good luck to everyone who will be here! Keep up the good work and I'll be back for post vacay damage control.
Round 35 average: 179.74 -
Working to get to 145 pounds hoping to do it in no more than 6 rounds. This is round 2 of the 6.

3/19 - 123.4 Off to a good start, hope I can keep it up.
3/20 - 123.8 No explanation for this, just the whims of life in general I guess
3/21 - 123.1
3/22 - 122.9 I like a downward trend
3/23 - 123.0 Basically no change for last three days, but it's not up, so I'm ok with that.
3/24 - 124.0 What the heck
3/25 - 124.3 It is beyond maddening when you do all the right things and still this happens
3/26 - 124.0
3/27 - 125.1 I just don't get this. So frustrating!
3/28 - 123.0 Had an unintentional low calorie day yesterday, so I'm sure this won't stick, but whatever.....I'll try again next round.4 -

Round 35
3/19 128.4 - 4 weeks until I leave for Cancun!
3/20 128.2 - going back in the right direction, trying to stay positive
3/21 128.2 - surprised with no loss after my diet, water, and increased activity level yesterday (my legs are actually sore) but I know I need to keep being good to my body and show patience...
3/22 127.8 - almost back to my start from last round!
3/23 126.8 - I think my body is thanking me
3/24 126.8 - Stalling at the lowest I’ve ever been in 5 years (I hit this exact weight once during round 33) I think it might be my body’s new set point? I am just under 10lbs away from entering the bracket of “ideal weight” for my height. I NEED to end this weekend with no gain!
3/25 126.8 - ...what?
3/26 128.4 - Yesterday turned into a cheat day
portions were fine but I stopped tracking calories and snacked all day, water was lower than normal. Hoping strongly for a quick bounce back.
3/27 127 - Tummy is still not happy with me about Sunday, could hardly eat yesterday I’m thinking today might be similar...
3/28 127 - I’ll take it, ready for the next round 3 -

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 202.... won my competition and splurged this weekend. So glad I have this group to help me reset and get back into the right mindset! Let's do this!
3/20 201 I'll take it!
3/21 199.8 back in ONEderland... barely, but I am here = )
3/22 199.6 still and creeping down
3/23 200.6 not surprised, out to dinner last night, enjoyed every minute of it ... until this morning... I feel icky
3/24 How did I miss a day?.... the above post was definitely for sat morning....
3/25 198.8
3/26 200.6... Yesterday, I didn't just fall off the wagon... it was an ice cream truck and it backed over me too! = ) Mentally, I am good, I am back on track today and really happy about it. Physically, I felt just awful! I woke up with a nasty headache, could not sleep well, and my belly just felt unsettled. This only reinforces how much better I feel when I eat well! Happy Monday all!
3/27 200.2
3/28 197.7 Lowest I have been this time out! Although, I do not think it will stick right away... totally under ate yesterday, not on purpose, just not a lot of options in my busy day. Still it makes my goal for next round, becoming a permanent member of ONEderland seem like it may actually happen!4 -

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
So far this has been ALL KETO - NO EXERCISE! I’m within a few pounds of my goal!
3/19 139.5 I’m in shock! 2 days below 140. Now to continue the trend! I leave for my 50 year high school reunion one month from today!
3/20 139.5 This is REAL!!! I am thrilled! 2.5# to my WW goal from 10 years ago.
3/21 140.0 Ate lots of salt! This is my crazy day of the month. Art Quilt group and community bingo dinner. No time to read everything but will try later. Love you all!
3/22 139.5 Bingo dinner last night was pizza and potato chips! No salad. WTH?? I ate the pepperoni and cheese from two slices and when I got home had broccoli and shrimp cocktail. After my dentist appointment I stopped and got Jimmy John’s Unwich for lunch. It was pretty good until I realized I was trying to eat my still numb lip!
3/23 139.5 My lip is not as bad as I thought it would be so color me happy! No food plans for today. Grandson is in Robotics competition at UNLV so will be over there this afternoon and probably tomorrow.
3/24 139.5 Didn’t make it to robotics yesterday but did today. Quite interesting!
3/25 139.0
3/26 139.0 Changed my macros and lowered my calories starting today. Yesterday while eating at El Pollo Loco, my husband said he was thinking about making more changes in his eating habits. Maybe watching me “suffer” (NOT) through Keto has swayed him! Perhaps it is the brain health benefits I have mentioned.
3/27 138.5
3/28 138.5 My average is down 1.5 pounds this round! Whoo hoo! I’m off to work at three quilt show today. Will be back to read later!3 -

3/27 216.2 I was wanting to start this back on the 19th but had surgery scheduled that week. I have had my surgery and am unable to exercise for a few weeks so....I need to be paying extra attention to my food intake. Hopefully daily weigh-ins will help.
3/28 215 Wish I could be more excited about the 1.2 loss but I really do believe it was from the anesthesia leaving my body.

March:
19: 214.2... I will not beat myself up about this. Instead, I'm looking at this as feedback about what currently isn't working. Hormones play a part in this journey in multiple ways, and cravings are a LOT more difficult to reign in the day or 2 leading up to TOM. So, I've been considering what I can do to adjust my regular eating style to allow for my regularly scheduled hormonal fluctuations during this time of month (and ovulation time). Eating at maintenance and cutting out IF for a couple of days is my new game plan. My goal is to prevent the munchie monster from going overboard, which is what happened last night. If I allow myself a bit of leeway, then I feel like I'll be less tempted to overdo it. Once TOM starts, I feel better going back to IF and calorie deficits.
20: 214.2...I prelogged most of my food today, so I'll know where I have wiggle room for PMS cravings.
21: 214.1
22: 211.3... Yesterday was the first day I ate below maintenance. I was still significantly over my goal calories though. Even though I recognize how my weight is affected by my cycle, it still blows my mind to drop about 3 pounds overnight when my food and exercise would not suggest that shift. Back to IF today.
23: 209.8!
24: ???
25: 212.1
26: 210.1... Had a few unusual days with food over the weekend. I like this number a lot better than yesterday's!
27: 209.2... Had a great day yesterday. Still working on getting out for my 4 mile walks again.
28: 208.1... Finishing strong this round!
There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.2 -
I'm a little frustrated, so yesterday (3/23) I calculated my average calories over the past 3 weeks. The result - 1548 - aligns precisely with my TDEE per the sailrabbit.com calculator, so I believe I am eating at my current TDEE and I am making 1548 my new daily goal. When I try to eat less than that, I wind up really hungry and go over the lower goal, so I am rethinking.
Then I read a slew of articles on BMR, TDEE, calories, healthy weight, and so on. As a result, I've concluded that, although I would like to lose a bit more, I am currently at a healthy weight and I feel good about myself, and I have revised my goals. When warmer weather arrives, I’ll be exercising more, and will no doubt lose a bit if my caloric intake remains steady. Most important is to live a healthy, active, conscious life, and that is my primary goal. No diet, no extremes, just healthful foods. I hope you don't mind my hanging in here as I maintain/lose a little.
Goals:
Weight ~~ maintain or lose slowly.
Food ~~ 1548 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 20-25%, C 35-45%, F 30-45%

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 - 149
Back on track - calories & macros good and I squeezed in a short but fast walk yesterday. I feel better already.
3/20 - 149
Lovely day yesterday, even though I splurged on a donut with my painting group. Today I'm off to train with this girl (she has a number of advanced obedience & other titles, 12 yrs old and still loves to train!). I can't think of a more fun way to get some exercise!
3/21 - 149
I went a little over calories yesterday - not much - but I was hungry and it was Siggi's yogurt. All good. Had lots of fun training with my Labby girl, Lily, and got a lot of other things done as well.
3/22 - 149
I remember hanging out at 149 a while ago. My body clearly thinks it's home. Not yet, baby! I'm going out for lunch with a friend, but I have my order planned, so all should be well.
3/23 - 150.4
Really? This has to be water - I had the best ever reuben for lunch yesterday (well, half - the other half is waiting for me in the fridge), but stayed within bounds (actually low) on total calories for the day. I didn't get enough water - running around all afternoon & evening - so hopefully this too shall pass. Sigh.
3/24 - 150.2
See revised intro - new goals, new attitude.
3/25 - 148.8
Of course! (See intro above.)
3/26 - 149.2
It's supposed to warm up a bit today so I'm hoping for a nice walk. Yesterday's wind was wicked.
3/27 - 148.8
Go figure - I'm eating more the past few days. All good!
3/28 - 149.4
That's PIWR (Pizza Induced Water Retention)! It was worth it.

Round 35
Goal for next few rounds: MAINTAIN weight
3/19 - 128.6 - yesterday around maintenance calories, a few K extra low-impact steps, still not feeling great.
3/20 - 130.2 - yesterday over calories. Short walk at lunch. I have been over eating my goal for days now, emo over long term and seemingly unresolvable issues, and having a hard time pushing myself to work out. Have a social thing this evening, so struggling to balance it all when I just am not feeling it.
3/21 - 129.4 - yesterday just at calories for .5lb/wk loss, 20 minutes on the rower.
3/22 - 129.0 - yesterday under calories, lots of steps and a 2.5 mile run, first in a couple of weeks.
3/23 - 128.4 - yesterday under calories, 10K steps and some floors. Slowly easing back down from my over the weekend bump, in time for ... another weekend ...
3/24 - 129.2 - yesterday over calories, 10K steps and 20 floors though.
MAINTENANCE
3/25 - 128.6 - yesterday under calories, accidentally skipped a meal.
3/26 - 128.8 - yesterday at maintenance calories, very active around household getting ready for company, no workout.
3/27 - 127.6 - yesterday ate at maintenance, lots of steps in walking and housework that I did not eat back the calories for, just got busy with company. Magically here is my second goal, 127 (plus .6 of jammies, lol) which also constitutes 20 pounds of weight lost. So, very happy with the journey.
3/28 - 127.6 - yesterday ate at maintenance, a modest walk with my beloved oldest niece who was visiting.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 - 186.0. Back to where I was last week. So far today I've gotten in 9500 steps and my food intake reflects reasonably good choices. Had a deficit of ~1000 calories; walked 12,500 steps; water 48 oz; sodium ok.
3/20 - 185.0 This was a pleasant surprise. I made and had soup last night. It took a little longer than my usual meal prep, but it was delicious. I thought this morning's weigh-in might reflect a late dinner, but not today. So, far my food choices are good today, but the weather sucks... and the forecast is worse.
3/21 - 186.2

3/28 - 183.2 - so I've been tracking everything (somewhere) and weighing myself each morning. I kept thinking I'd pull it all together and post, but ugh - it didn't happen. I had a not-so-good stretch last Wed & Thurs; I'm blaming it on the weather. But I've managed to get back on a losing streak. So, I'm happy with my overall R35 loss = 3.6 pounds.
On to round 36.

Really struggled these 10 days. I never ate over calories and although there wasn’t much exercise I drank plenty of water but the movement wasn’t great. Think it’s because of TOM. Still happy with even a little loss.3 -
Round 8 for me (6 full rounds plus 3 days), and I'm getting smarter every day. I'm also kinder to myself, more reasonable, more forgiving, and just generally better. I think I'm going to track my calories forever, and I'm okay with that. I'm also going to continue to post here forever, too. Maybe I'll move to a maintenance thread, I guess, but I hope you get the picture. This group has been life-changing for me.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 = 205.2 (-1.4). BOUNCE BACK™. I'm going to differentiate this loss with everyone's favorite rainbow unicorn, the WHOOSH™. I had a big gain on the last day of round 34 (2.2 lbs), and this is my body beginning to recover from that. I ate well yesterday, was under calories, drank plenty of water, and under on sodium. I have basketball tonight, which means a trip to the gym as well. Good start to this challenge!
3/20 = 204.6 (-0.6). Another BOUNCE BACK™. Good day at basketball yesterday, ate well, drank enough water, good on sodium. The sins of Sunday have been erased; it only took two days this time. I can pretty much predict my weight trend every night at this point based on my behavior during the day (thanks mostly to for tracking). I know a bunch of you have probably reached that point, but it's still pretty cool. Missed the gym last night, so I'll be lifting weights and doing HIIT tonight.
3/21 = 204.8 (+0.2). I felt a little out of control yesterday. Snacks were flying my way (some of them guided by my hand), and my wife bought me dinner (really hard to track), but I think I did okay. I was probably over a lot in salt, though (teriyaki is the devil). My wife was home early, so the gym didn't happen, either. The next stage in my development is motivating myself to get to the gym on non-basketball days (this upcoming Monday, for example). It's easy on basketball days, but mostly "miss" when basketball doesn't happen. I'm thinking of trying SL 5×5, but I need to make sure my knees can handle all the exercises before I get too excited.
3/22 = 203.8 (-1.0). And that's a WHOOSH™. Inching ever closer to onederland, I'm at an all-time low (since restarting MFP). Met all my eating goals yesterday, and snacked on fruit instead of crap last night. It's raining all day today, but it's basketball tonight. I will not miss it, nor will I miss lifting weights with my wife. Motorcycle life!
3/23 = 202.0 (-1.8). I had a really good night at basketball. It's relatively normal for me to have a good drop when I play. I ate within calories (didn't eat any of my 1250 exercise calories back), was over on sodium, and was a little light on water, at least for a basketball night. I have a really nice dinner out tonight; going to try to keep portions under control. I'm also trying not to get too excited, but ONEDERLAND is within reach. It will be my goal for next challenge.
3/24 = 204.8 (+2.8). Before I understood my pattern this would have been incredibly upsetting. It was a cheat meal. I did the best I could with it, and at least it wasn't 4.0 lbs (which had happened before!!!). It was tasty, salty, and fantastic, and I have only minor regrets (as I avoid these situations as much as possible). Basketball and the gym are happening this morning, and I have 4 days to work this off. Even if this challenge ended today I would be 1.8 lbs down, which is pretty great. I'm hopeful. Taking 80 ounces of water to basketball today.
3/25 = 204.8 (+/-0.0). Played basketball, ate back a little less than half my exercise calories. Went over my salt intake with dinner again (pizza, kale salad). I'm hoping to get back on track after the cheat meal two days ago, and that today's weigh-in (no drop after basketball) is an additional consequence. My brother-in-law (personal trainer) is going to teach me tonight proper form on the exercises I need to do SL 5×5. I'll be starting it this week while basketball is off for spring break.
3/26 = 204.4 (-0.4). My brother-in-law (not the personal trainer) asked my wife and I to be godparents for my newborn nephew last night, so i had a little unexpected celebration. I was below maintenance, but did not eat super healthy (high on sodium, again). I also forgot to fill my water bottle and take it with me at the beginning of the day, which made it really hard to keep up with my normal water intake. My brother-in-law the personal trainer flaked out on me regarding the heavy lifting help. I may hire a personal trainer short-term to make sure I'm doing things right. I may also just get started and hope for the best. We'll see. Tough weekend eating-wise.
3/27 = 202.8 (-1.6). BOUNCE BACK™. I'm almost back down to my pre-weekend weight, which feels really good to me. I'm also on-track to get myself into position where ONEDERLAND is a realistic (if slightly difficult) challenge goal for Round 36. I ate REALLY healthy yesterday; it feels like these really good drops often follow those types of days (something else to pay attention to). No basketball for me until next Thursday, so I'm going to get started with my "new thing" tonight - SL 5x5. I'm a little concerned about not having the proper form on a couple of my exercises (particularly because of my knee issues), but I'm going to give it a go anyway. I've literally never tried a squat or a deadlift, so I'll just focus on form (and check out a couple of YouTube videos or something).
3/28 = 204.2 (+1.4). I really wanted to fudge this weigh-in a little, as I recognize my desire to end challenges on a "good" number. I ate within calories, but my wife made bagels and lox last night (no meat this week) and I didn't check the Na+ content before I ate it (I was almost 1500 mg over). I'm getting better at letting go of expectations, but they still sneak up on me sometimes. I really wanted to shoot for ONEDERLAND for my next challenge goal, but I'm feeling a little disheartened at the moment. We'll see what happens when I post my goal for next round. Just calculated my results (below), and wondering what the hell I'm disheartened about.

3/19: 223lbs. I decided to cut my calories this round to see if my weight starts trending in the right direction. Today was a good day overall. I kept my calories below 1800. Walked 10000 steps and worked out for 30 minutes.
3/20: 222lbs. I’m glad to see the scale finally drop a pound. I ate about 2200 calories today, but I walked 11000 steps and had a 35 minutes weight lifting session.
3/21: 221.5lbs. 2200 calories, which is still more calories than I originally planned for this challenge. 12000 steps and a 40 minute workout.
3/22: 222lbs.
3/23: 222lbs. Walked 9000 steps and lifted weights for 45 minutes.
3/24: 222lbs. Walked 10000 steps and completed a 30 minute workout.
3/25: 222.5lbs. Walked 9000 steps and lifted weights for 25 minutes. The last few days haven’t been great in terms of eating. I'm hoping to get back on track tomorrow.
3/26: 223lbs. Walked about 8500 steps and worked out for 30 minutes. 1800 calories for the day. I want to get past these weight fluctuations and lose a pound by the end of the challenge.
3/27: I forgot to weigh this morning. I walked 11000 steps and worked out for 25 minutes. I ate about 2200 calories.
3/28: 223lbs.2 -

3/26 - 126.8??? - had a bad start of week- work travel. ate within limits, mildly active, walked slow pace 60 minutes, 7 cups of H20 (drink more). plan and pack meals ahead of time to do better - I snack when I get home because I am hungry. Had dinner ready and so avoided mindless/impulsive snacking
3/27 - 125.8 - almost in calorie limit, went tiny bit higher, but need to make sure I always remain in calorie limits. walked 8500 steps, 8 cups. increase steps to 10,000 otherwise join gym.
3/28 - 125.8 - changes do not happen overnight. Remember the resolve and get to it..
Looking forward to round 36.2 -

Back from Vacation and I think I am up 11 lbs. It should be a lot of water weight and if I get back on track I should be close to where I was in a 2 weeks or so. SO is still home so the first few days will go slow. Back at work with my packed lunch going in the correct direction.
