Round 37 goal – if I manage to maintain 195 I will be happy. I will be celebrating birthweek.
4/8 – 194lbs. 700 calories under food goal.
4/9 – 195lbs – still good considering its Monday. Birthday party tonight at local pub that cooks a mean bacon, ham, cheeseburger and the best fried mushrooms. Better have a skip lunch to have room for the 1300 calorie dinner
4/10 195lbs – I so wanted the steak buffet. Oh well the wife promised this weekend when kids might be able to make it. Had awesome 1600 calorie burger and mushrooms. Then did cardio for over an hour. Way to many birthday cocktails.

Date - Weight - Update
4/8 (Sun) - 189.6 - Saturday was pretty lazy. Hit the gym, but started cleaning out the fridge by eating through most of my leftovers, so I'm honestly surprised I lost weight as of Sunday morning.
4/9 (Mon) - 189.4 - Sunday was my cleaning day. Didn't track my meals too well, so I'm proud of myself for staying healthy. Workout this afternoon - about 600 cals.
4/10 (Tues) - 187.0 - Well, that's a WHOOSH™ if I've ever seen one. Ended up doubling my workout yesterday (1200 cals), so that helped, but definitely wouldn't have killed almost 2.5 lbs. Here's hoping that was just a loss of a bunch of water weight; Exercising in the afternoon - about 500 cals.
4/11 (Wed) - 186.2 - What the heck. It must have been water weight. Or this is a very deceptive WHOOSH™, I like it. Let's keep this momentum going! Changing my goal weight for this round. Was not expecting to hit it quite so soon! GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAL!!!! ; Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals.

UGW - 130
Day/Weight/Comment
4/8 - 168.2 - Had a girls night last night and while it was extremely fun, I took in a lot of calories through mixed drinks. I kept my dinner healthy but expecting an increase in tomorrows weigh in. Would love to make my goal for this round as I didn't last round so lots of water starting today, health food chooses and lots of gym time.
4/9 - 170.0 - There's the increase I was expecting to see. Woke up with migraine this morning, hoping it'll be gone by this afternoon so I can hit the gym after work. Feel like I've been stuck around this 167-170 weight forever and starting to feel discouraged but I won't give up, just got to keep myself motivated.
4/10 - 170.0 - Still have the migraine and not feeling well this morning. Wasn't expecting for a good weigh in this morning but there scale not going up is a win in my book. Wish I could get down to the weight I started round 36 at and never see 170 again. Will work out after work today and hopefully see a good weigh in tomorrow. Healthy packed lunch, lots of water, gym and healthy home cooked meal for dinner tonight is the plan.
4/11 - 169.0 - Glad to see the scale going in the right direction. Had a very busy day yesterday but was able to still eat healthy and fit in some time at the gym. Work hours are changing for today because of some meetings so will need to figure out when I can fit in some exercise today so I can keep on track for the next few days and make my goal for this round.

4/11 180.2 ate well yesterday. Tightening up even more today, gotta make it a habit again so I don't need motivation or as much self control to resist challenges. Need to drink all my water today as well!

Round 37 (my first go at this type of challenge -- might be what I need to break out of my weight loss funk)
SW(R37) 311.6 GW (R37) 308.0
4/8- 311.6
4/9- 309.2 (-2.4) (good Sunday for tracking, kept calories down for weigh in with my doctor this morning -- good motivation. Need to continue solid tracking and increasing cardio and weightlifting for the next nine days.)
4/10- 307.6 (-4.0) (likely this is water weight gain and now loss going into the start on 4/8 for this round -- trying to focus on being under 300 as my next mini goal on the long journey to one-derland. Long journey but day by day and 10 days by 10 days)
4/11- 306.0 (-5.6) (amazing what a little tracking and cardio can do. I'm sure this is still losing water weight from a run up to 311 but I'll take it for sure (or my scale is broken). Feels good to be in sight of 299. More tracking today.)

Day/Weight/Comment
4/8 - 180.0 I always fluctuate a little bit, but as long as I'm fluctuating in this range, I'm happy!
4/9 - 179.4 Couldn't sleep, so I did my weigh in at 3:40 am
4/10 - 180.0 I'm fighting off a cold, and I tend to overeat comfort food (aka junk) when I'm sick. I'm really trying not to go down that path this time around. I was about 170 cals over yesterday, which I'm okay with. Also ate way too much sodium (chicken noodle soup) so feel bloated today. Just trying to fight off this cold because I don't want to use my PTO on sick days!
4/11 - 179.4 Still not feeling great--might be the seasonal allergies I was recently diagnosed with, ugh. I haven't exercised for a couple of days but I will be going to my second pilates class tonight after work.

Just checking in on all of you. You are all doing great!! Thanks for continuing to inspire. I'm @ 208.4 and the scale is going in the right direction. Pumping up protein to try and lose less muscle while looking at it as more of a cut. Have a great challenge.11

Goal: Release 2 lbs per round to reach onederland by Memorial Day weekend.
Ultimate Goal: 175 lbs, reevaluate at that point
April:
8: 211.2... Back to reinforcing neurological pathways that lead to my optimum health. Glad to see a drop from yesterday! Hoping for another tomorrow. I'm essentially still on track to reach my Memorial Day weekend goal, so that feels good.
9: 210.2... Losing water weight. Hopefully, this trend will continue until I'm pretty close to my R35 EW, so I can keep moving on my journey to onederland!
10: 209.1... Keeping it going! Ate at Texas Roadhouse upon request of my teenage daughter who hasn't been able to eat an actual meal in over a week because she had her wisdom teeth removed. I ordered their Portobello Chicken meal and brought half of it home. I did splurge on fried pickles, but my calories are good for the day. Macros are a bit off and sodium is high, but I don't think it'll have much of an affect because it was all in moderation.
11: 210.4... Well, more of a jump than I expected, but it's all water weight. Drinking extra water today, and I'm still feeling quite optimistic for this round. For several days, I've been able to cinch my belt down to the smallest notch...sometimes more comfortably than others. This morning, I decided to try on a smaller pair of my jeans, and they fit! I don't even mean they fit tightly and I need to wear them for a few hours so they'll be comfortable. They just actually fit!

Day/Weight/Comment
4/8- 131.8- lowest I've weighed in in a while! Ran 8 miles, helped in-laws move, and did yard work, so it was a super active day. Meal prepped a smoked salmon quiche for my lunches this week.
4/9- 132.4- not surprised to see this fluctuation despite a healthy, active weekend... it's water-retaining time of the month for me, so I'll be carrying a little extra around until about Saturday
4/10- 132.2- I'm pleased with this. Planning to run four miles at lunch today. Had a work happy hour in the evening and didn't drink anything and just had some hummus and veggies. Avoided the office candy bowl all day!
4/12- 132.4- Not surprised... feeling very bloated, but I know things will normalize soon. I have a meeting at lunch, so I won't be able to work out, but I will squeeze it in after work.

Round 1 for me!
4/8 219.6 here we go…..
4/9 219.0 Woo hoo! Like Sparx above me said...it's going to be a great week! Day 6 for me back on mfp after a 2+ year absence. Feeling positive and determined. I can do this!
4/10 219.1 Still going strong. Paying attention to what and how much I eat and no mindless snacking. Haven’t touched the Girl Scout cookies yet, lol. Got back into some exercising yesterday.
4/11 216.6 Big drop…..but I knew it was coming since this is only day 9 for me back to counting calories and back on MFP. Now to keep up the momentum.

Once more into the fray.... I've decided to start including my average calories for the round with my end weight so I can really get a sense of what works. I do keep my macros pretty steady, but calories fluctuate and the average matters more than daily in my experience. I'm interested to see that although I exceeded my calorie goal during the last round and my weight jumped around a bit, I finished pretty much where I started. So maybe my TDEE is higher than I think and in theory I could eat a little more than I thought and still lose. We shall see. Glad to be back - thanks for being here for support & inspiration!
Goals:
Weight ~~ Lose slowly, hit <149 this round.
Food ~~ 1548 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 20-25%, C 35-45%, F 30-45%

Day/Weight/Comment
4/8 - 149.6
After I posted yesterday, I decided to go a step farther for a longer view, so I averaged my daily calories for the past 30 days, during which my weight has been pretty steadily within half a pound of 149.5. Although my daily calories fluctuated from ~1400-2000, the average was 1549, which is 1 cal away from where I have put my TDEE for a while now (with minimal exercise). I really like having this data, and I'm since I do not want to cut my calories any more (metabolism & hunger), I'm happy holding steady here until I do get back to my typical activity level (soon!). It's easy to get wrapped up with the day-to-day and forget that reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is a long-term project - a lifestyle. Don't now if this helps anyone else, but it helps me a lot.
4/9 - 150.8
Eeek! But not a surprise - I had a major blow out yesterday. I knew what I was doing and did it anyway - I've been lusting after a pastry and some other things I don't usually eat, so I did it. And it's fine. Back on the wagon today with healthful food and lots to do.
4/10 - 150
A smidge better. I ate properly yesterday, still fending off my big splurge. Going out for lunch, but I'll be good.
4/11 - 150
Not much to say about this. I've really had the munchies lately. I'm not exceeding my average calories by much, but enough obviously to show up on the scale. OTOH, my sodium was high yesterday, so there's that. Jeans still fit!
