4/13: 221.5lbs. Walked 10000 steps and lifted weights for 40 minutes. I've consumed too many calories the past several days. I’m staying at or slightly below maintenance, but I’m eating too much for significant weight lose. It seems like the more I workout out…the more I want to eat. I need to get that under control.

R36 * Start = 128.2 * Ave = 128.1 * Min = 127.2 * End = 127.4

Round 37 = Goal = Maintain 125-130. Going on a significant trip 4/12-4/24, away from scale and kitchen and kitchen scale and likely, some of the time, internet. Will be an emotional trip too, I can guarantee. So just hoping and praying I can be sensible, in every way, not just about food.

4/8 - 127.2 - under maintenance yesterday and 10K steps. Have not done any regular exercise in a week apart from some walking-grade aerobics.
4/9 - 127.0 - yesterday high on emo and calories, low on steps, and a new low weight today. Maybe excess cortisol burns calories my fitbit can't detect. JK, I know this is just a bounce waiting to happen.
4/10 - 126.8 - yesterday under maintenance calories, 13K steps, 2 mile run.
4/11 - 127.0 - yesterday just over maintenance calories, but 10K steps and some planks. Can't believe this new "right around 127" weight is really a thing, but it looks like this week it is!
4/12 - 126.6 - yesterday under calories but only 7500 steps. Up till 2AM getting ready.
Won't have a scale (food or person) while gone; won't have internet connection for 6 days; will report progress this round but likely not be able to start round 38 until I return. Really curious about how I do on this 12 days away, with both food and stress.
Meanwhile, still dropping weight on maintenance LOL
4/13 - traveling. Yesterday under calorie goal, 8000 steps and 375 miles. Today, under calories, 5800 steps and 750 miles.

4/14 - at stepson's. Today 14,500 steps, seemingly all over Albuquerque. Under calories. Can't breathe and got a sty in one eye, thank you allergies.

4/15 - at stepson's
4/16 - at stepson's
4/17 - traveling

4/8: 142.6, Lord I sure could use A LOT of motivation. Fell down the rabbit hole in the summer of 2016. No excuses because I have little patience for them. 20 months and 20 lbs later I feel exhausted and disappointed.

4/9: 143.6, gotta love that beer and restaurant backlash. Didn’t have enough calories today, under 1000. My only indulgence was 1 glass of wine. Got busy and suddenly it’s 8:00

4/10: 140.8, Buh Bye water weight. Today was a struggle to consume enough real food calories. I’ve been overly busy at work and home and I’m making a herculean effort to avoid processed frankin-food and the “Mile High pie” my coworker brought in to share with us. I wanted to shake her and ask “have you any idea how difficult it is to stay on track with your amazing looking pie in the break room?” Gold plated problems. Le sigh…

4/11: 138.8, this is unexpected. Should return to normal by tomorrow. In the meantime I’ll enjoy the moment.

4/12: 139.4, Yesterday was a good food day. On target with romaine, tomato, 4 oz salmon salad, 8 oz tomato and a whole wheat wrap with avocado and home made salsa for lunch. Dinner as 3 oz of ham, steamed broccoli, thin sliced 21 grain bread (60 calories of bready-goodness) and 6 oz of red wine. It was a poopy day at work, but we passed state inspection. Today's goal - no wine , more water (I've been way below my norm), 80-90% unprocessed foods (exceptions - a whole wheat wrap, a thin slice of bread, store bought condiments and juices)

4/13: 137.4, I’m liking this number! Yesterday I enjoyed the same lunch. Dinner was Home made white bean, ham, and veggie soup, steamed broccoli, and toasted 21 grain thin slice of bread with 44g of avocado. I met my daily goal, too.

4/14: 137.6, On target with my calories and macros. I’m very happy with my progress and feel blessed to be sharing this journey with all of you.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/8 -- 201.2
4/9 -- 201.0 mostly on plan today. I adjusted my expectations from 1200 calories per day to 1370 -- I just wasn't able to make it on a consistent basis. I'd prefer to lose slower and set lifestyle habits for myself than potentially lose faster but with a plan I can't sustain.
4/10 -- 200.6
4/11 -- 198.6 I like this whoosh! Ironically I'm finding it a lot easier to stay under 1200 calories when I allow myself a daily limit of 1370. Whatever tricks my brain wants to use are fine with me.
4/12 -- 197.6 Still whooshin'. I know that this is just the starting whoosh that comes after getting back on track after a long time of giving in to bad habits. I'm hoping to move well along the road before it tapers off.
4/13 -- 196.8 Starting to worry that I'm going to bounce back badly when I stop whooshing. I have been perfectly on plan all week, though, so maybe it's legit.
4/14 -- 196.4 First time I stepped on the scales it read 196.0. Thought I should check again. Hope I can hold on to this until the end of the challenge.
4/15 -- 196.4 Looks like the whoosh is finally over.

Diet LIFESTYLE Started: on the 13/10/2017 @ SW:106.9kg- 235lbs after my girlfriend had to do my shoe laces up for me before a wedding we attended, after 2 years of stopping and starting that was the thing that made me change

GW:75kg - 165lbs

First full round!

Targets:
Sober April - (FAILED! But it was a family 40th wedding anniversary party so...!?)
Less than 196lbs by end of April
Daily food goal is 2000 calories

Day - Weight - Comment
4/8 - 95.1kg - 209.6lbs - Had a family party to attend and it was a big occasion, lots of beer, food and there was no way I was able to keep track of it, it happens oh well! Probably find the food weight drops off in a couple of days! Had an output of 3095 calories mainly due to me working on the Saturday walking up and down the floors doing some upgrades, used the stairs instead of the lift! End of this round I will be happy with 204lbs... hopefully. (Weigh time 7:00am)
4/9 - 94.4kg - 208.1lbs - 2050 calories vs 2255 expenditure, had a nice even day of eating while I was working on Sunday to balance out the craziness of Saturday night, this is mainly just food and water weight but if it happens again I’m not going to moan! (Weigh time 7:30am)
4/10 - 93.7kg - 206.5lbs - 1884 calories vs 2668 expenditure,I got a day off for all the weekend work so I literally did nothing but go and grab a couple of pairs of jeans from the shops, how I managed to drop again yesterday I don’t know but keep it coming! Surely not another drop tomorrow?! Not exercised in 6 days, was going to cycle to work today but RAIN (UK) killed all hopes of that. (Weigh time 7:30am)
4/11- 93.7kg - 206.5lbs - 1879 calories vs 2944 expenditure, the drop ends with a nice even number, normal day back in the office for me, very disciplined with my food as a normal day is, lots of water, went and watched the football in the evening, didn’t cycle again because of that god damn rain! On target for 92.5kg/204lbs by the end of the round hopefully.... stay strong and don’t give up people! (Weigh time 6:30am)
4/12 - 92.9kg - 204.8lbs -1600 calories vs 2958 expenditure, WOW! I i know I’ve been strict lately but my god, must still be weight from the Holiday/Saturday night binge I guess, expecting a rise tomorrow I’d say... I’ve also challenged someone at work to see who can lose the most by June 1st, hopefully I can win.... stay focused people just think about the long term. (Weigh time 6:30am)
4/13 - 93kg - 205lbs - 1567 calories vs 2975 expenditure, ITS OFFICIALLY 6 MONTHS TO THE DAY THAT I STARTED MY DIET AND I HAVE LOST 13.9KG/30LBS, nice level weigh in today very happy, managed to cycle into work this morning as the weather held up and it felt GREAT, working late this evening as we have a power down so will be lots of running around lifting things so a few calories got rid of then, and then hopefully planning on cycling home maybe half way then get the train the rest of the way, we shall see.... feeling good, four more days of this round can i get into the 91kg range!? (Weigh time 6:00am) - PS I AM GONNA SMASH THIS CHALLENGE AGAINST MY COLLEAGUE!
4/14 - 92.6kg - 204.1lbs - 1721 calories vs 3829 expenditure, I was finally able to cycle yesterday because because the weather held up and did a total of 16.5 miles, walked up and down the stairs in our building during the evening work so burnt more then, and started my running journey by running 0.82 miles and managed to do it in 6:50 which I was relatively happy with! I am almost 100% sure I can manage another 0.1kg in the next 3 days! (Weigh time 7:30am)
4/15 - 92.3kg - 203.4lbs - 1863 calories vs 2874 expenditure, had a good day yesterday, went and watched the football during the day then off to the pub to watch the Tottenham City game in the evening, doing overtime today so I cycled in which was 14.5miles, a good workout, smashing it since I joined this challenge very happy!

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.

4/12 220.0 Husband had to restrict his diet yesterday to clear liquids, so I supported him by having clear chicken
broth for supper with him. Later ate 4 apples because I was famished. Poor guy goes in this morning
and I expect will be eating something filling for lunch. I expect this loss back.

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.)

4/12- 307.4 (-4.2) (ok, this is when I normally get frustrated and throw my hands up with the scale showing an increase. However, there are five more days, I'm down 4.2 pounds in five days and I'm not going to quit because I know where quitting will take me. And I know the likely cause -- kid's choose dinner night last night -- they chose pizza. My kryptonite. Log it, track it, admit it and move on.)

4/13- 307.4 (-4.2) (a little stress at work and instead of eating the whole vending machine I had carrots and hummus. Not nearly as tasty as some chocolate but I was happy I didn't sabotage myself and then throw the day away. Four more days -- would like to get to 305.0 even. Some work to do but short term goal is in sight)

4/14- 308.0 (-3.6) (come on now, focus. not so much sabotage as caught up celebrating with too much food. Three more days to get this right and stay on track.)

4/15- 308.0 (-3.6) (this is like a 10 round fight -- new "me" versus old "me". Round 8 was a draw. "New" is going to win rounds 9 and 10 to win the 10 day challenge )

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.
4/12 - 179.4 Holding steady. I really feel like whatever cold or sickness I have been fighting off is winning today. Stuffy head and no energy. I feel really good about doing Pilates last night and I have already planned for a somewhat healthy lunch option (chicken and rice soup) to fend off the comfort eating I might want to do.
4/13 - 180.0 Meh. Home sick today. The sickness won. I'm just trying not to eat the piles of carbs that sound so good to me when I'm sick.
4/14 - 178.4 Um, what? I love it but don't expect it to stick around! I gave in to the comfort food cravings yesterday and ate way over my calorie allotment in ice cream. Starting to feel better today, finally.
4/15 - 178.0 Wow, two days in a row! I'm finally starting to feel back to normal so I'm going to try not to mess this up!

Hello! I'm back! I missed Round 36...we were on vacation and I didn't have a scale. Had a great time...some days walked 20k+ steps and some I slugged at the pool. Now it's back to routine and weighing and logging in daily.

SW March 2017 - 182.4
OGW - 145 - smashed this in October 2017
New GW - 140 - and some fitness goals on top of this as there are some family challenges we are planning for the summer and I want to keep up with my boys.

03/28 - 141.4 - weigh in the day we left on our trip

Day/Weight/Comment

4/8 - no scale
4/9 - 145.2 - not too bad...less than 4 lbs...the last 2 days spent blobbing in the car. I should see this come off pretty quickly with lots of hydration and getting back to my exercise routine...I put my work out gear on first thing this morning so no excuses.
4/10 - 144.2 - The first couple after vacation always come off easily...its the last few that are "real"....gotta keep working at it...
4/11 - 144.0 - better than nothing
4/12 - 142.6 - I thought there might be another bigish drop. I kind of shocked my system back into reality with my eating the last couple of days. I think I will add some calories back in to get the last few pounds to my current goal off a bit more slowly.
4/13 - 143.4 - Sodium bounce I think...unplanned dinner out with my parents last night. Calories were good but I sure could taste the salt. I also did a pretty hard Kettlebell workout yesterday and it's been a few weeks so there my also be some muscle repair going on. It's not a huge increase so it doesn't phase me....and that's what daily weighing and logging has taught me over the last year.
4/14 - 143.0 - not bad considering I gave into some mid cycle peri-menopause carb cravings yesterday...
4/15 - 144.6 - Sushi for dinner = Sodium water retention....I can feel it in my sausage fingers...should be gone in a day or two

new goal - drop below 190 feed and watered

round 34 - start = 202 end 192.8lbs stomach empty and bone dry
round 35 - start = 192 end 196lbs
round 36 – 195lbs no change.
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.
4/11 – 196lbs up 1 pound. I think it’s the snacks late last night at Spanish class.
4/12 – 192lbs - I have no idea why. Maybe the workout on Monday. Maybe 600 calorie food deficit yesterday?
4/13 – 194lbs – nothing but cucumbers until dinner at the steak buffet tonight. I am planning on cardio today to balance out the 3 pounds of meat I am planning on having.
4/14 – 196 – logged 2 pounds of filet minion instead of listing all the different meats at the buffet last night. Just got done with an hour of cardio. I find it hard to believe I am not pushing 200 after all the feed I have had during Birthweek. Starting Monday I go back to normal life.

4/15 – 192lbs and 54% water, why? Possibly the 2 days in a row with cardio, maybe < 150 calories before big dinner? Finished the day 1500 calories below maintenance that is only if you don’t count the whiskey.

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 the 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.

4/12 - 169.0 - Happy with this weigh in, I wasn't able to work out as much as I would have liked yesterday so I'm relieved to not see 170 again. Back to a normal schedule today so fingers crossed I'll see 168 tomorrow.

4/13 - 167.2 - whooo-hooo!!! Hopefully this weight stays. Weighed myself 3 times just to make sure it was right. Wasn't expecting such a big drop today so even if I go up a little tomorrow I'll still be happy. Excited to see this number though and it's much needed motivation to not sabotage it by just eating whatever and not exercising this weekend. Didn't think I'd make my goal this round but seeing this number today makes me think that if I just continue with the hard work I've put in so far I'll be able to do it.

4/14 - 167.2 - Glad to see this number again. Usually when I get excited about a loss, I'm right back up the next morning. This actually makes me believe I might not ever see 170 again and that's very rewarding. Yesterday's loss and trying on some of my summer shorts (from just last summer and they were almost too tight! Yikes!) REALLY helped me control what I ate and drank last night. Didn't really think I gained that much from last summer to this summer but I'll just turn the upset into motivation and hopefully instead of buying bigger shorts that fit this summer I'll be buying smaller ones.

4/15 - 169.2 - Ended up going out last minute for pizza with some friends after I already ate some chips and dip because I was figuring on a healthy dinner so I know where this weight came from this morning and I'll be careful with what I eat today and while Sunday is usually a rest day for me, I think I'll take a walk if the rain stops or do some jump roping to help get rid of this gain as fast as possible. I'm way too close to 170 again and I'm trying to never see that number on the scale again. Lots of water and fruits for me today, hoping to see a better weigh in tomorrow.

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!

4/12 - 150
The good news is that the house hunt is over! Yay! Even with the impending (short distance) move in May, this should reduce my stress level considerably and we should be able to stick to a more regular schedule of eating at home. Yay!

4/13 - 151
WHAT? Still delayed reaction? Or the grilled cheese I had for lunch dinner? (Still well within my calories.) Bummer.

4/14 - 150
OK, I still may make my <149 goal for the round. I went for a nice long walk yesterday - it was 78F - but today its 40s and pouring rain. But spring is coming!

4/15 - 150.5
Shoot! But I just tallied my ave the past 10 days and it's 100/day higher than my TDEE (maintenance calories), so it makes sense. I'll take that as a good thing as it confirms what I believe is my TDEE. So starting today I have promised myself that I will aim for TDEE minus 0-10%. Back on the wagon, and if it ever stops raining, back to my long walks.
