4/18 143.6 I've been having some big drops. I indulged this morning for breakfast, but I'm on track. I see my physical therapist this evening, so I hope to get some pain relief without medication. I can't wait to be lifting weights again!

4/19 143.2
4/20 143.2 I haven't worked out this week. Next week needs to be different. I don't just want to be skinny, I want to be healthy!

4/21 145.2 Whoa! Boys and Girls, this is what wine and cheese can do. I had been abstaining for a few weeks, and hubby really wanted to relax with me. Bread, Armenian string cheese, and 2012 Syrah. Humph

4/22 143.8 Got lots of compliments on my weight loss.
4/23 143.8 Clearly I've been lax. I know what I need to do - Prep and measure.

4/23 - ?? - Still no scale but I will have one back tomorrow, interested to see what I will weigh. Weekends are usually hard for me but it was really nice out and I got a lot of steps in all weekend and I had my meals better planned out so I'd say this weekend was better than most my weekends. Hoping tomorrow weight reflects it. Happy Monday!

** 166.2 - I bought a battery and couldn't hold off until morning to weigh-in.

Day/Weight/Comment

4/19: 213.4
I've been gone for awhile, but I am back! Been in Virginia for almost a month; my son was in the hospital for 21 days, so that meant that I, too, was in the hospital 21 days! After he came home, I stayed with him a couple of days just to make sure he wasn't going right back! I give God all of the praise for seeing him through; his spleen ruptured, and he almost bled to death! I went a little haywire while I was there, and the scale tells the story! But, that's history; today is a new day, and I'm ready to start over again! HIS MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING!

4/20: 212.2
Good afternoon everyone! Hope you are having a great day! It's beautiful here in Middle Georgia, and I thank God for another beautiful day! See you lighter!

4/23 211.8 I’m surprised my weight is down again today. I figured it was time for it to hold steady for a few days before beginning that downward trend again. Nevertheless….I’ll take it. Just finished a cup of tea and some plain Greek yogurt for breakfast. Does anyone else notice that when you miss breakfast for whatever reason, you’re not as hungry during the day then on days that you eat breakfast? Yesterday I had a cup of tea in AM, but didn’t have time to eat before I had to leave. Wasn’t hungry until early afternoon. But when I do eat something for breakfast, I’m usually thinking about lunch by 11 AM and find it more difficult not to want to eat a whole lot more throughout the day. I wonder why that is?

I have noticed this, and today I am using it to kick start my loss. I've had coffee (quite a lot, actually) and water. I know from past experience that I'll be hungry between 4 and 5 pm so I plan to eat at that time. Here's the thing, though: This only works for me a max of three days. My body then gets deeply and pervasively hungry and I'll end up eating over plan. I have no plans to substitute one eating disorder for another (yay me) so I won't ever go three days again. Tomorrow I will eat to plan, including a breakfast.

I also want to actually listen to my body and eat when my body needs food, and eat just enough for fuel. Since I've not lived this way before, and I do have to cook for others, I am finding ways to take care of myself while also contributing to the household task of meal preparation. This is a balancing act, and it goes beyond the scope of MFP. I need to take care of myself while also contributing to household tasks and keeping my family in good working order. I cannot simply be selfish and say, Hey, I'm eating X amount for X meals a day, good luck eating otherwise!

4/18 -- 195.0 Okay, looks like I need to pick a new goal.
4/19 -- 194.2 (TOM) Gave myself permission to step off plan today. Just a little, because I've found that small, conscious indulgences satisfies me and prevents me from breaking out completely.
4/20 -- 193.6
4/21 -- 192.6 That's my first 10lb gone. I hope that I start seeing my progress in my clothes and my mirror soon instead of just on my scales. I still have nearly 7lbs to lose before I get to my "I will never allow myself to get this heavy again" weight from 2013.
4/22 -- 192.2 Progress is progress.
4/23 -- 194 Okay, I'm due a bounce back after so much whooshing, but that doesn't mean I have to like it! My aim is to stick to the plan and hope that it's a temporary blip.

Thank you, Jackie!

4/19 - due to surgery my face was very swollen. Three hours of sleep again last night. Made minestrone soup today. Finally the weather is suppose to get better and I can start to go for walks. Still super hungry.

4/20 new challenge, I went to the dentist yesterday, he did not see anything wrong. I went back today and my last tooth which is root canal is infected I could hardly drink water. Maybe the steroids caused it. brain surgery and infected tooth. going to get tough to beat this.

4/21- goal for the week, is to cut out salt and sugar and see if this helps for swelling. Going to have a strong week

4/22- still lots of swelling my whole face and neck. But I ate good today lots of fruits and vegetables, chicken.

4/23- ate lots of fruits and vegetables- all colours. I feel good because my sugar and salt are down.

Day/Weight/Comment

4/18: 137.4, now the real work begins. On target yesterday and holding steady.

4/19: 138.8, darned pickles! I never realized how much sodium they have. Also indulged in 1 Reese’s peanut butter cup (regular size). Calories were within deficit and my macros were decent. Proof that salt and sugar make me retain water.

4/20: 135.4, must be dehydration from last night’s wine. Food was on target, but a little over in calories due to my pinot indulgence.

4/21: 136.8, back to normal hydration. On target for calories and macros yesterday.

4/22: 137.8, birthday party potluck. I’m thinking too much sodium and definitely the wine is reflected in my weight.

4/23 136.8, I’ll take it! On track yesterday with food. Still not drinking enough plain water, I prefer mineral water so I tend to drink that instead.

Still shooting for <136 for this round. I find it intriguing how my body has thresholds which show weight loss visibly. The low 140s = back fat, big booty, and thickened waist, below 137 = less waist and back fat, below 133 = a lot less back fat, below 130 = hour glass shape is coming back and less in the hips, below 125 = people telling me I look very thin, yet it's still high normal BMI for me, around 120 = "dang I look great!" proportionate hour glass shape. Lol.

SW 235 lbs
GW 170 lbs

4/18 - 240.75 lbs - pretty good first day, ran/walked/shuffled four miles home from work. Ate the last of the Easter egg for dessert

4/19 - 236.75 - I'm guessing that 4 pound loss is all water - I got such a bad headache after my run last night. must drink more water!

4/20 - 236.25 - Lovely day this morning so I biked to work for the first time in a month. Going to try to bike 3x per week over the spring and summer!

4/21 - 236.5 - bit of a lazy stay at home day today. Went over calories by about 300 calories after afternoon tea at a friend's house, but these things happen!

4/22 - 235.5 - lovely sunny day here, went for a walk along the beach and got a small ice-cream cone. Definitely eat better on the week days! Still have dinner to go and want to do a short run tonight. Hope everyone is having a great weekend

4/23 - 235 - got super lazy and hungry after my run last night, so we got a takeway kebab (chicken shish so not totally the devil) and chips. Still managed to eat under my calories though whoop whoop Running home from work tonight.

4/24 - 234 - Surprised that I lost weight again today - because it was pizza night in my house - but I was still under calories by 500 after running home. Not sure how much of this weeks weight loss is just water weight?

End of Round 37
17/04: 167.4 Goals ✅ Hopefully, back on track

Round 38 (Round 30 for me. Female, 5'2" aged 71, weight in lbs)
My birthday is 2 days away and I am still 12 lbs from my dream weight. Maybe a whoosh for my birthday?

18/04: 167.6 Goals ✅ What is it that makes us revert so easily to our old ways?
I have really been tightly back on track for the past week, and then last night we had a friend in for coffee and as we were chatting I suddenly realised that I had absentmindedly munched several of the biscuits hubby had put out with the coffee. (not sure exactly how many, lol! as we were having such a great chat.) Not going to beat myself up, but wondering how do we combat the old habits which just seem to lurk there, waiting until we are off-guard, to sabotage all our hard work?

Maybe all we can do is to be aware of it happening, and make sure that we stop as soon as we realise what we are doing. I am continually reminded that being fit and healthy has to be a life time commitment, and is not a quick fix.
19/04: 167.7 Goals ✅
20/04: 167.2 Goals ✅ Birthday today. I'm not going to use this as an excuse to go over the top. Goal is to eat a little, drink a little, and be merry a lot.
21/04: 167.2 Goals ✅ Spent my birthday in the garden enjoying the sun. A perfect pamper day.
22/04: 166.9 Goals ✅ Had an very active day yesterday out in the fresh air.
23/04: 167.0 Goals ✅
24/04: 166.7 Goals ✅ No time to post yesterday. Hoping this trend continues.

Overall loss (start of round) – 24.4kg/53.8lbs

4/18: 109.8kg/242.0lbs - Went to the football last night, we lost 3-1 but the atmosphere was amazing and I didn't buy a pie - winning. Starting to feel that I'm gaining a better relationship with food! Sidenote: I have wanted to be below 110kg for sooooo long, today is a great day.
4/19: 109.7kg/241.8lbs – A step in the right direction! Nice 11km run this morning, changed up my route and it was very scenic, got my breakfast and lunch meal prepped and off to the gym tonight! Refraining myself from finding a beer garden after work despite this weather being so nice!
4/20: 108.9kg/240.0lbs – Not feeling good today, had to cut this morning’s run very short as my stomach turned – shame really but I’ll try again on Sunday. Buzzing with this drop though – out for food and beers tonight so this will change.. (Also updated my HW as it was incorrect)
4/21: 109.1kg/240.5lbs – Feeling bloated, but the weather was lovely. Dragged myself on an 18km in the sunshine, time wasn’t great and I think I need to start looking at some energy gels to keep me going.
4/22: 108.1kg/238.3lbs – Expected a drop after such a long run, rest day today even had a couple of beers.
4/23: 108.4kg/239.0lbs – Monday, back to work and back to my meal preps. Lunch for the week consisting of: Lemon & Herb chicken, sticky rice, broccoli & sweetcorn. Gym tonight too. Good news also, my BMI has gone from Obese to overweight - WOOO.
4/24: 108.3kg/238.8lbs – Back down a little, a step in the right direction. 8km run this morning, gym tonight and then 16km tomorrow morning!

Don't panic!!! Please don't panic. Go easy on yourself When we're run down, our bodies can react in all sorts of negative ways. Take time to get yourself back up to your normal self and slowly get back to making the right food choices. You've got this mamabear!!

Loss to date - 13.80 lbs
Avg loss per round - 0.86 lbs

R38 goals - to stay focused, log everything, drink my water and stay on track - aiming for a 136lb or below finish....

4/18 -136.60 down 1.0lb. guessing my usual post weekend "whoosh". My aim for this round is to keep it here or below and stay focused....... Happy with the start though

4/19 - 137.30 up 0.70lb - TOM imminent and bloated - not helped by late evening munchies last night (fairly healthy munchies of houmous and breadsticks - but was late last night) . Still down on the round start so far though

4/20 - 136.90 down 0.40lb - up down up down ..... TOM due and its now the weekend ........ I am feeling positive at the moment Must keep up the water (hot here at the moment for the UK in April anyway!) but I did discover 50 calories mini soleros at my local M&S Today - it was lovely!

4/21 - 136.6 down 0.3 yay!! Good day planned today food wise and a 20mile or so bike ride too so here's hoping....

4/22 - 136.60 - holding ....
4/23 - 138.60 - up as usual on a Monday but happily my "lowest" Monday high for a long while which I'm happy about esp at TOM imminent. Nothing I know of this week that should see me being led off track so should be a good finish Friday..... giving blood tonight so hoping that will mean I weigh less tomorrow if only ....

4/24 - 137.0 - usual Tuesday morning drop - still hopeful for a 136 finish by Friday .... Food prepped, water bottle refilled and gym tonight ..... Repeat after me - I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS .....
