    The first half, I was on vacation with no scale. I tried to be mindful on vacation, but I did not count calories. My last weight before vacation on March 24 was 236.6. My weight April 5 was 238.8.
    Woman, Age 46, 5'6"
    OSW: 252

    Round 32: SW 240.6; EW 241.6 (+1.0), Ave 241.92
    Round 33: SW 241.6; EW 238.2 (-3.4), Ave 239.84 (-2.08)
    Round 34: SW 238.2; EW 237.2 (-1.0), Ave 238.28 (-1.56)
    Round 35: SW 237.2; GW 235
    Round 36: SW 238.8

    4/5 / 238.8 / I'm okay with this weight after 1.5 weeks of vacation. We cut our vacation short because one of our two beloved cats died in the care of our wonderful cat sitter. I'm pretty upset. Home just isn't the same right now.

    4/6 / 239 / Well, I am comfort eating. I can't deny that I don't feel in total control of things right now.


    4/7 / 239 / Comfort eating. Hormonal flakiness. Whee. ** (I missposted this as 230.)


    Right before our vacation started, one of my uncles died. Then my sister's adult stepson died. Then my cat, who I adopted right after my first husband died in 2009. I feel very battered right now, so I am so grateful for these thread challenges and the opportunity to read about all of the successes and struggles everyone else is facing. You all inspire and encourage me just by being you and being on your journeys. Thank you.

    Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me.
    MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145

    My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

    My name is Tish.

    USW: 253
    SW: 240
    CW: 213
    GW: 210
    FGW: 150
    *It's easier for me to think 10lbs ahead at a time*
    {Round 34 - lost 2.8 lbs}
    {Round 35 - lost 2.4 lbs}

    Day/Weight/Comment

    3/29 (Thursday) - 213 - Hopeful for 210 at the end of 10 days
    3/30 (Friday) - 213 - I stepped on the scale this morning and all all sorts of #'s flashed by, from 211 point something to 212 to 213. Smh
    3/31 (Saturday) - 213 - I consumed a couple of very carby foods for Passover, so my weight is a surprise to me. The "wine", juice for me, has 37 carbs per 8 ozs, I drank 3 ozs. The matzo has 25 net carbs per serving, which is my limit on keto.
    4/1 (Sunday) - 214.2 - Lol. Not a good sign. Now not so hopeful for 210 by the end of the challenge. Tough week ahead, carb wise. Feast of Unleavened Bread ends Saturday evening.
    4/2 (Monday) - 213.4 :smile:
    4/3 (Tuesday) - 211.4 :smile:
     YAAASS Hunty, LOL
    4/4 (Wednesday) - 212.4  (210 where are you? Lol) Mmm, I guess the rule of the game this week is, you can not skip 1 pound on the way to your goal. You skip, you lose your turn and go back a pound. 
    4/5 (Thursday) - 212 - Legs feel heavy this morning, so I know I'm retaining some water. Hot lemon water may do the trick. Needed an extra hour of sleep.

    4/6 (Friday) - 211 - I lost a bit more body fat. Always a good thing!

    4/7 (Saturday) - 212 - Holding on to extra fluid. I made and ate unleavened mini muffins yesterday evening. Just a small sweet treat for the last day of unleavened bread. Sugar free but made with wheat flour. I'm paying for it though. My eyes are puffy and joints are achy. Wheat and grains are a no no for me.

    My first round and looking forward to it!

    SW - 172 on 1/14/18
    CSW - 167
    GW - 165
    UGW - 130

    Day/Weight/Comment
    3/29 - 167 - not much cardio this week but looking forward to stepping it up next week!

    3/30 - 169 - Felt heavy this morning and knew the scale would reflect it. Didn't drink much water yesterday and while I was under calories, what I did eat wasn't the best choice for me. Hoping to make up for yesterday, today and have a better weigh in tomorrow!

    3/31 - 168 - Weighing less than yesterday but still heavier than when I started. Ate a healthy breakfast and lunch yesterday but may have had too many pepperoni rolls and mojitos at dinner. Doing a 30 minute strength training this morning and then get some walking in doing some shopping. Hoping for a better weigh in tomorrow.

    4/1 - 170 - My weight is so up and down from day to day! I was under calories yesterday but I didn't drink as much water as I normally do. I didn't eat any of my earned exercise calories and I still gain weight. Feeling a little bloated this morning though so I'm hoping it's just water weight. Going to watch what I eat today for Easter and load up on water. Happy Easter all!

    4/2 - 171 - Was expecting the increase so not surprised and won't let it get me down. Today I was able to get back into the gym for some cardio and got my sweat on listening to some good music, came home and took care of some outdoor chores and going to finish out my evening with Day 6 of my 30 day challenge. Feeling optimistic for future weigh ins and hoping to atleast be back to the weight I started this round at if not less. This may be my first round here but it won't be my last

    4/3 - 170 - Nice to see the scale going back down, hoping to see another decrease tomorrow. Hitting the gym today and will complete Day 7 of my challenge. Daughter did the challenge with me yesterday and it was a lot of fun doing it together and she asked if I would wait for her to get home from school today so we could do it together again. Hoping to also fit in a nice walk today during my daughter's soccer practice if the rain ever let's up.

    4/4 - 169 - So excited to see the scale dropping again. Hope to keep it going for the next couple days. Drinking lots of water and I been having salads for lunches. Have been able to not eat back any of my exercise calories and I haven't been starving so that's always a plus. Took it easy on my 30 Day Challenge yesterday but still got 45 minutes of cardio in. Plan on doing a cardio session today after work and giving it my all on my challenge. Excited to hop on the scale tomorrow morning.

    4/5 - 168 - Didn't think I would see this drop in weight this morning, I was nervous to step on the scale. Gave in to some deep fried mozzarella sticks and a high calorie, high sugar mixed drink for dinner last night. So happy/relieved to see it though, logging what I ate and drank yesterday made me feel guilty but I knew I'd be back on track again today. I have my healthy lunch packed and a date with the gym this afternoon.

    4/6 - 169 - Doesn't look like I'll be making my goal this round but that's okay, there's always next time. I won't be giving up. Feeling bloated today, didn't make my water goal yesterday and ate 1 too many loaded potato skins for dinner. Need to start making better dinner choices but Tuesday's and Thursdays are extremely hectic for my family and dinner is usually something quick to make and about 8-8:30 at night. Need to find a better way if I want to lose the weight and keep it off.

    4/7 - 168 - well bummer, I guess there's always next round to make my goal. Girls night tonight so hopefully I can keep under calories with dinner and drinks. Looking forward to next round.
