3/29 - 213.4
3/30 - 211.6
3/31 - 209.8 (woohoo). But I think weighing in a little later on weekends affects the weigh in. Saturday’s has always been my lowest day on scale. We see if I can keep it this time!
4/1 - 210.4. No surprise up a little. Ate out and went over a little on calories. Might see another jump tomorrow from it but that is okay. Sodium.
4/2 - 212.8 Expected. Ate too much yesterday. Feeling bloated and yucky today.
4/3 - 212.4
4/4. - 212 ⬇️ inching back down, yay.
4/5 - 212.6 ⬆️ It is so interesting watching the fluctuations throughout the week.

4/2-334.6-I have no gone above my starting weight here on MFP. Should I change that setting now or what?
4/3 - 329.8 Mostly water weight, but nice to see it going this direction or a change.
4/4 - 325.8 Still thinking mostly water weight as flesh doesn't usually move this fast, but yes!

3/29-Th 129.6 At top end of happy range after 3 vacations and 2 illnesses in last 8 weeks. Hope to get back to lower end of range. 45min. mat Pilates class, 50 min. Pilates reformer class, 100 minutes on my desk treadmill.

Just Give Me 10 Days Round 36-

So lovely ladies I have missed the support of this group! So I have decided that I will have to suck it up, weigh daily, and psychologically learn to live with the natural fluctuations I see in my weight on the scale. The love and support I find in this group is worth this and more!

04/04 221.6 Lowest weight for some time.

04/05 222.4 I ate salty Bubbies pickles late in the evening last night and my weight shows that water gain.

3/29 273.5 I like the start so far just a rest day so no lifting going to do some light steady state cardio rehab shoulder work feel like a dope lifting 5lb kettlebell and struggling but gotta do it
3/30 274.8 A little surprising but was a tad sick with upset stomach so guessing my body sucked in some water as was under calorie and did a light cardio for my off day at gym
3/31 272.8 Nice Woosh surprising went to opening day and ate ok but not my normal range of foods and not "clean" as normal so maybe I can lose weight and still enjoy everything in moderation
4/1 272.5 It wasn't a dream got good walk in yesterday and hopefully today goes the same
4/2 274.0 Damn easter bunny
4/3 273.5 Back on track stated new job and hurt my back yesterday so taking off today from the gym so need to watch calories close today
4/4 273.1 Still going down back still sore so no gym again today walking even is painfull
4/5 270.5 Guess the gym is overated had to weigh myself 4 times today I didn't believe it was actually over about 100 calories yesterday too taking another day off gym back still sore but starting to feel better

Nothing works unless you have a sustained calorie deficit over time. Anything will work if you have a sustained calorie deficit over time.

Motivation is overrated. What you need is education, willingness to eat less, a good plan, and discipline to stick to it.

According to Big Fat Myths: When You Lose Weight, Where Does the Fat Go? which is an interesting perspective on "diet" 148oz / 9.25 lbs of food/water/oxygen a day but depending on how efficient everything processes we don't operate on a perfect 24 hour cycle to use all that so you get those fluctuations. I think that is semi comforting to keep in mind we are not robots and CICO doesn't operate at perfect 24 hour scale either.

Goal for this round: 155ish. This will most likely be a maintenance round for me if I’m lucky. I had a big loss last round and that is usually followed by a stagnant period. I’m ok with that; my body and I are figuring each other out! I also am in the middle of a kitchen make-over, so…I’m eating out almost every meal. I’ll be happy to mostly maintain until I can cook again.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/29 = 156.4
3/30 = 156.6
3/31 = 155.8 Got the bounce to reverse, so that’s good. Also I have a good grill now that hubby and I can cook on while the kitchen is still without appliances. Won’t have to eat out quite as often, although cleaning up after cooking, with no sink, will be fun.
4/1 = 155.4 Was SO good to cook at home last night! Easter buffet today though so calories will probably be over today. Hoping for some exercise in the afternoon though to help offset.
4/2 = 157.4. Easter cost me two pounds, but hopefully only for a little while. I can get this back down in a few days, I think.
4/3 = 157.2
4/4 = 155.8 Headed back down now. YAY! Had a long, fast walk in the evening, almost dancing to music in 76 degree warmth. Spring may finally be here.

3/29 - 195lbs. major munchies late last night so kinda surprised at a loss.
3/30 - 195lbs - surprising after eating 800 calories worth of turkey burgers last night.
3/31 - 196 - up 1 pound -oh well I was just following doctors orders to eat less greens. maybe 20oz ground beef patty was a little overkill. but so yummy. I do love meat.
4/1 - 195lbs - my children nicknamed me the cause of obesity and with everything on the menu today I believe they speak the truth.
4/2 199lbs - ba ha ha ha- I guess 4853 calories is a lot. at least my sugar was under 20.
4/3 198lbs - bad lunch. okay dinner and now the weekend bottle is gone. maybe I can make a little progress before another weekend,
4/4 198lbs - really beating myself up over a few pounds. after eating a pound of leftover Easter lamb I vowed not to eat again last night. only had one beer. logged in at calorie goal. didn't sleep well. the fresh snow is beautiful and my coffee is delicious.

4/5 195lbs – 300 calories under food goal. Vowed no drinking whiskey unless I did cardio. First time on the bike in weeks. Spent an hour sweating my @#% off just for a few drinks. I sure did sleep good.

form DebCountsAll I'm really behind on reading other people's post, but this line made me laugh out loud. Thank you, I sorely needed that laugh.

8 years as a cook, raised 3 kids, I do all the family cooking and I don't serve it if I don't like it, this new diet of mine is not utilizing my skills in the kitchen. I am praying for you and your family.

Date - Weight - Update
3/29 - 192 lbs - Still recovering from my week away from my scale, determined that I need discipline to keep all of this going; Exercised in the morning - about 600 calories
3/30 - 191.6 lbs - I had Chinese food last night, but still managed to lose weight. Go me! (I also planned for Chinese food, so that probably has something to do with it); Exercised in the morning - about 600 calories; probably not eating too healthy tonight unless I can convince my date to go somewhere not deep fried...
3/31 - 191.2 - Date night kept it surprisingly healthy, despite the amount of carbs I consumed. Helped a friend move into her new apartment today, so I definitely got some lifting done. Let's hope Easter keeps me on track!
4/1 190.4 - I don't expect this trend to last, especially after the sheer amount of food consumed for Easter dinner... whoops. Back to the gym on Monday.
4/2 - 190.4 - YES! Somehow all of yesterday equated to a maintenance day. I'll take it; exercising in the afternoon - about 600 calories
4/3 - 188.8 - Not sure how this WHOOSH is happening, but maybe if I don't question it, it'll stick around, maybe it's my reward for not buying and then consuming an entire bag of discount Easter candy...; Exercise in the morning - about 600 cals, and exercise in the afternoon - about 500 cals.
4/4 - 190.0 - Knew my slight WHOOSH was too good to be true. No worries. Thought my goal this round was a tad too ambitious anyway. Not that I'll stop trying. Two pounds in three days? Crazier things have happened. Maybe I'm lucky and this excess weight is the water held in my recovering muscles... Hoping for a final day WHOOSH; Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals
4/5 - 189.0 - Maybe this will stay? Date tonight, not sure to where so it may be a bit of an issue... - Exercised in the morning - about 600 cals

R36 goal - only the first weigh in then away - cheer comp weekend followed by time away in a hotel with a huge buffet breakfast selection and too many temptations eating out every night. Will try to be restrained - step daughters wedding mid May - dress fits lovely and want it to stay that way!! And need to prove to myself that time away and weekends doesn't have to mean putting on weight. Will be a challenge as ever!

3/29 - 136.40 - a small drop yay!!! but going away for a few days ...... monthly check in at the gym and weight down as well as a small drop in body fat
3/30 - away
3/31 - away
4/1 - away
4/2 - away
4/3 - away
4/4 - away
4/5 - back from trip today. Girls came away with a gold, silver and bronze medal from National Cheerleading Competition which was good! But days out, Easter weekend, hotel breakfasts and eating out every night though for a week will not be good on the scale tomorrow morning though I'm sure. Back on plan from now, water to hand and will go to the gym tonight .... Two weigh ins to round end .....

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.

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 
4/3 (Tuesday) - 211.4

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.

3/29 196.6 I have noticed that in these weekly challenges that I will teeter back and forth and the have a 2 or 3 pound loss, right at the end. I love that this keeps me on track and motivated, but it is also an argument for the once a week weigh in. For now, I am sticking with you guys, cause it is working!
