4/18--No weigh in. I'm taking this round off for TOM. Hopefully I'll pick up right where I leave off.
4/19
4/20--Just checking in so I don't get out of the habit. I ate WAY over my calories yesterday and don't even feel guilty about it. Just trying to get back in the groove today.
4/21
4/22--178.0 TOM was short and sweet so I'm back ahead of schedule! Very pleased to see a decrease since the last time I weighed in.
4/23--176.2 WOW!!! I haven't seen 176 since my wedding in 2009. Well, that's not true; I had braces for a year in 2013 and got down to 165, but that was very brief and I gained it all back as soon as the braces came off. Doing the happy dance today--I hope it sticks! I'm making that my goal for this round!
4/24--177 Well, I expected that. No worries.
4/25--177.6 Still not concerned; I haven't been doing anything differently and I expected a bounce back. Just keep plugging along!

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.
4/24 walking steps, on my Fitbit hit 10,400. Eating chicken, vegetables, and fruits.
4/25 I feel great today, my best day. The swelling from my face is starting to go down.5 -

4/20 291
4/21 289.7
wow what?!?!? I was not expecting that! Down 1.3lbs in one day - ahead of schedule but I will take it
Eating on days like today can be super tricky - out of bed at 3am, starting work at 5am - so I'm home and have had dinner by 4:30pm which gives me the rest of the night to get hungry. I need to remember to not eat too much as early as I did today and learn to save some calories on days like these.
4/22 290.3
I knew last night would be tough, and it was - I ended up eating a mini-bag of popcorn (100 cals) and slice of multigrain bread with pb and jam. So in ended up over my calories for the day booooo. Good start to today with egg whites on multigrain bread, a banana, and a cup of coffee. I'm going to do some meal prep this afternoon - mostly involving cleaning and cutting up fruit and veggies, cooking some chicken and boiling some eggs - adding some good proteins to my work lunches should help with being too hungry for dinner - my lunches last week were mostly fruit and veg so I ended up super hungry by the time dinner rolled around.
4/23 290.3
4/24 290.3
4/25 290.1
my goal for this first round is 289....I am so freaking close but not showing any movement on the scale for 3 days in a row is tough and then today seeing it move by .2 of a lb.....gahhhhhh. I know I should be only losing 2 lbs a week but those days without movement make me a bit nutty. Also, today I kept under my calories but ate some very bad things which is not what I want to be doing.

R38: Goal 195.x (new goal 193.x)
Day/Weight/Comment
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.
4/24 -- 193.4 Better. Need to keep it going, my first mini-goal is in sight.
4/25 -- 192.2 Going the right direction again.
4/26 -- 191.8 I'm very happy with slow and steady progress.

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!
4/25: 108.2kg/238.5lbs – I like this, slow and steady wins the race! 16km this morning, legs are aching, no gym tonight and rest day tomorrow. I may eat pizza tonight..
4/26: 108.1kg/238.3lbs – 0.1kg down a day is fine by me! Rest day today then running 21km tomorrow morning. Just over 2 weeks until my half marathon!

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!!
I’ve been trying to flush the system and drink lots of water today. I keep wanting to blame this new pill I am on but it’s impossible for it to have such a reaction on me. I need to get back on it.. water water water is my mini goal for today!!!
Totally hear you on the medication front! I changed to implanon and gained like 10kg! Kept blaming the implant but then tracked what I was actually eating on mfp and acknowledged that I hadn't gone from training for a 10k run to sitting on my backside! I do gain weight easier though, dunno if that's my age or implant but either way I just know I have to be careful not to undo all my hard work!
I can literally gain and lose a kg within a few days! It's absolutely infuriating but it's unfortunately just one of those things that I have to learn about my body!
It’s incredibly annoying isn’t it. I’ve gone through various pills and am actually waiting to have the implant done. I keep telling myself its in my head but it’s just an easy thing to blame it on. I’ve been a bit run down recently and alongside being a new mum I’ve just gone back to work from maternity leave and also am undergoing a professional qualification and being tired and making me hungrier and little things like drinking water is just not even second nature anymore. I am adamant to make small tweaks however and see how it goes! I stopped writing little blogs on here and have decided to do it again because it actually keeps me in mental check! And it’s nice to have that support from this group xx
It's absolutely infuriating at times! It takes a while to just step back and see what it is that you are doing! I'm also trying to study and am a stay at home parent and it's incredibly hard to stay on track! I normally study after kids are in bed, so I lifted my "no late snacking" ban and I try to reserve a few calories for some healthy snacks (cashews are my favourite!). Means I'm not sitting with my tummy grumbling! Sounds like you have a lot going on anyway so it's hard work juggling everything! You're doing really well, just keep the head up and keep going! Just make sure your iron levels are ok too as I find that when I get anaemic I crave sugar! ❤️4 -

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)[/c]
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.

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 .....
4/25 - 137.20 +0.20lb - up a it but ate later than normal last night and "TOM imminent" bloated-ness. Two more weigh ins and so want to be 136 - even 136.90 will do ...... Although if not this round, I'm sure I'll reach it next round as so close now..... Definitely losing slower now I weigh less but so much happier in my clothes and my confidence levels Would still like to lose a bit more though
4/26 - 138.0 +0.80lb - stern word needed with my body today. Not happy this morning as feel its completely unjustified - can only out put down to TOM bloat (which has still not arrived - after the last few erratic months I am beginning to think that the menopause is starting - more joys eh ?). Oh well - will carry on eating to plan and let the scales read what they feel as any water retention/bloat will only be temporary

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/18 - 166.6 - Good way to start this next challenge. The last couple times it seemed I'd gain weight right away and the rest of the challenge was trying to get rid of my 1st day gain. Hoping it warms up and the rain holds off so I can get out and walk. Looking forward to the next few days and I'm determined to make my goal.
4/19 - 166.6 - I've never had the same number for 3 days in a row before (I've only been weighing myself everyday for 20 some days now) so it's interesting to see. Since I started logging every meal and keeping track of my exercise for the past 40 days and weighing in every day for the past 20 I'm starting to see and understand what works for me and what I need to do to lose the weight. I'm sure it'll always be a learning experience but one that I'm willing to learn. Interested to see tomorrows weigh-in.
4/20 - 166.6 - So I guess I'm going to be stuck at this weight now but if I'm not showing a gain, I'm happy. Need to plan meals out for this weekend so I can stay on track, Saturday and Sunday are usually days I slack off on and then regret it come Monday morning but I want to prevent that from happening this time. I can have a fun, healthy weekend.
4/21 - ?? - tried to weigh in this morning but the battery died in my scale and I'll take it as a sign that I'd be unhappy with what it would tell me as I indulged in many butter covered perogies last night. Have a busy day today though and I'm ready with healthy snacks already packed and lots of water. Will try to get out and buy a battery some time today so I can weigh in tomorrow and keep myself accountable for those damn, delicious perogies.
4/22 - ?? - still no battery for my scale, probably won't weigh myself until Tuesday morning unless I make a special trip into town and pick some things up. I had a good day yesterday though, it was busy but I was ready with healthy snacks, a chicken broccoli rice bowl for lunch, a light dinner and lots of water. Wasn't able to work out but got plenty of steps in, feeling optimistic for when I can weigh in.
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 @ 2:50 pm
4/24 - 166.2 - feeling optimistic that I can be 165 by Friday. My eating habits have been on point, I'm at or slightly below my calories, just need to get myself exercising more. I have been getting a lot of steps in since it's been nice out but I haven't been doing anything to get my heart rate up and so today since it's raining I'll head back to the gym. I've got 3 days to make my goal, I've got this.
4/25 - 165.0 - Made my goal! Now to just maintain or continue to drop on down for the next couple days. Gave in to cravings last night and had a hot fudge sundae, hoping I won't see an increase tomorrow from it but it was oh so good and I only felt a tiny bit guilty about eating it after I had sat there and ate it all. Kind of worried about such a drop but hoping it's true and I won't have a big increase tomorrow or Friday, still feeling optimistic.
4/26 - 165.8 - Not too bad of an increase, I was expecting some. Walked for an hour last night and was under my calorie goal a little but dinner wasn't the healthiest. I hope to be able to bring it back down for tomorrow's final weigh in for this 10 day challenge. I have a 30 minute toning walk planned for today, water bottles filled and a healthy lunch packed, today's going to be a good day.

4/22: 184.3, Moved more yesterday and broke out the food scale. This is mostly water but I’ll take what I can get!
4/23: 181.7, Stuck to calorie goal and had a long hike yesterday. Feeling less bloated.
4/24: 181.2, walked over 16,000 steps, drank tons of water and went over calories but still dropped half a pound. Must have been at maintenance or near it and rest is water weight. Will try harder to stick to calories today because this water loss will come to an end soon.
4/25: 184.1, welp, I was within calorie range but know a lot has been water flux. Here’s the proof. Sigh.
4/26: 182.1, Woohoo! The downward trend continues even with a few blips. If I stay strong I should hit my goal tomorrow.

Date - Weight - Update
4/18 W - 185.8 - As yesterday was a WHOOSH day for me, this is a decently reasonable bounce back, and still lower than where I was on Monday... anticipating this week to be more difficult than last. Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals.
4/19 Th - 184.8 - Maybe it wasn't a WHOOSH at all and I was just retaining water? Or this is another deceptive drop? The most likely scenario is regular fluctuations, but where's the fun in blaming that?; Exercised in the morning - about 600 cals, tomorrow will be a rest day and may end up being a maintenance day if I can't keep my calories in check.
4/20 F - 185.0 - Ate a bit too much after dinner. Still within calories, but it was pure carbs. The 0.2 lb increase is clearly water weight; rest day today but should still get plenty of steps in. Lots of stuff to do.
4/21 S - 183.8 - Ah yes, more fluctuations. Just what I wanted. Been oddly dehydrated lately, despite drinking over a gallon per day, going to try to up my intake just to be careful; Exercised in the morning - about 500 cals.
4/22 Su - 183.8 - A standstill is good over a weekend. Means I didn't go too hard on Saturday, which has been my problem in the past. Another rest day today, went for a walk, but no intense exercise.
4/23 M - 185.2 - Consumed a decent amount of carbs/sodium Sunday night, so I guess this makes sense, regardless of how little I like it. Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals.
4/24 T - 184.6 - Skipped my workout yesterday, and ate over my daily calories, but still dropped some of that bloat... I'd consider that to be a win. Exercising twice today, morning workout was around 600 cals, evening should be around 500. Let's see which wins tomorrow, water retention in the muscles, or loss due to deficit.
4/25 W - 184.6 - AND THE WINNER IS... water retention. That's cool. I can live with that. Means there's a WHOOSH coming. I'm also not as sore this morning as I intended, so my muscle soreness may be more delayed than normal, or last night's workout didn't do its job properly. Exercising tonight, should be about 1000 calories after all is said and done.
4/26 Th - 184.4 - hit around 1200 calories last night, so I'm sure some of this is water retention. For the sake of the challenge, I'm hoping it's gone by tomorrow, but I'm not expecting anything. Today became a rest day, after discovering I was way too sore to exercise this morning. Will likely move my workout to tomorrow, but who knows.

1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
round 33 - start=215lbs end 202lbs
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 194lbs start and finish but did see 192 for a couple days
4/18 – 196lbs – allowed myself a free for all day to end the free for all week. The next 10 days I plan on shifting from maintenance to weight loss program. Should drop 2-3 in the first days then a couple more by the end of 10 day challenge. 190lbs on or before 4/27 is my goal
4/19 – 195lbs – still predicting a quick drop if I don’t have adult beverages. Eat before logging and WOW does prime rib have a lot of calories. Homemade and worth every bite. Managed to ride bike for 30 minutes
4/20 – 194lbs – good thing lunch was on target. Eat 5 hotdogs at a gathering last night and had 1 to many cocktails! It’s a fishing weekend so I probably will not eat right the next 2 days
4/21 – 192lbs – eat kinda okay yesterday but didn’t plan on 2 pound change.
4/22 – 192lbs – not bad for a weekend. Hope the fish are biting this afternoon. had the last salmon in the freezer a week or so ago.
4/23 – 193lbs - to much sunshine out fishing lake Michigan, fell asleep in my chair till 6pm. Instead of cooking the fresh coho salmon I took the wife to chines buffet. Still full this morning. Salmon tonight!
4/24 – 192lbs – kinda not expected. Lots of snacks and beer on the boat last night. Only caught one brown trout, then had dinner after 10pm. Going to try hard to reach 190 yet this round even if only for the last day
4/25 – 193lbs – my bad eating habits as of lately are late night binge eating after a cocktail. Good thing I have been keeping my days in check or I would end right back at 235lbs.
4/26 – 195lbs – right back where I started. Yesterday after a kinda bad lunch the wife tells me we are going out for all u can eat shrimp. I got my moneys worth!!!!!!!!!!!!
