5 down, 65 to go.
4/28 - 217, supposed to be a beautiful couple of days. I have my grand blessings for the weekend and we're planning on spending all of it outside!
4/29 - 216, lots of chasing the kids around yesterday. Summer clothes and shoe shopping today before I have to bring them back.
4/30 - 216, back to work, sho is Monday. 4 down, 66 to go!
5/1 - 215
5/2 - 215, Friday I'll retake my measurements since it's a new month. There won't be much of a change with a 5 pound loss but I like to have them for reference when I have those months where the number on the scale just won't budge. Losing inches is just as satisfying as losing pounds.
5/3 - 214, Another beautiful weekend coming up. We'll have more people at the lake on the weekends going forward. Hoping I can stay on track if we have a houseful or not.
5/4 - 214, New month. (I always do this on a Friday.) I took measurements this morning and, along with the first 6 pounds, I lost 5 1/2 inches overall and a full point off my BMI. I recalculated my BMR and got my new calorie goal for May. Looking forward to seeing the results at the end of the month. Busy weekend ahead with lots of visitors, projects to finish and more projects to get underway. Happy Friday!
5/5 - 215, Fridays are my free days. Totally worth it and nuff said.
5/6 - 215
5/7 - 215, glad I at least held steady for this first weekend at the lake with all the visitors. On to the next round!
A reminder for those days when the struggle is real:
Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now.5 -

4/28 144.4 ~ (Steps 16,689) - Yesterday was an extremely day with my exercises and my food...We went out to eat for lunch and dinner but my healthy choices made the difference in the scale...
4/29 142.7 ~ (Steps 14,275) Longgggg day but I didn’t emotionally eat which was a plus in my book,
4/30 142.4 ~ (Steps 10,325) I spent the day with my grandkids, son and daughter! I was able to keep under my calorie goal plus hit the gym before they close.
5/01 143.3 ~ (Steps 21,968) I did keep under my calorie goal just wasn’t the healthy meals,
5/02 144.3 ~ (Steps 19,613) again with the scale going the wrong way
5/03 145.1 ~ (Steps 19,980) I don’t understand I did everything right
5/04 143.4 ~ (Steps 14,381) At last the scale is stable now.......
5/05 143.6 ~ Steps 14,156) Today was a hard day trying to stay motivated.....
5/06 143.4 ~ (Steps 14,466) Yesterday even having a not so healthy lunch, I was able to get the scale to go down,
5/07 144.1 ~ (Steps 14,285) again, ugh

4/28 - 127.8 - yesterday under calories and at least got 8K steps
4/29 - 127.2 - yesterday under calories and 11K steps, no actual workout though
4/30 - 127.8 - yesterday significantly over calories and very few steps. Just a bit of an emo day. I really do not do well when my regular workout partner (hubs) isn't well ... he has asthma so he gets a bye, me, just emo and unfocused.
5/1 - 129.2 - and DESERVED. If it had sugar in it and was not nailed down, I ate it yesterday. Horrifying. I am still eating like I was on vacation and getting 15-25K steps a day, and with an acquired taste for sugary "energy" foods like was able to get away with on the trip, while I sit at my desk and am frustrated with people and try to catch up on projects. Post vacation Whoops got me big time!!
So here is the plan:
log every bite today CHECK
Get a workout today CHECK well it was in my living room, but yes
Walk on breaks, get 5K steps by 5PM ALMOST, got 4800
and 40 flights ALMOST, got 31
Start my journal pages for May which will help me with daily goals AT LEAST DID MAY 1
5/2 - 128.0 - yesterday well under calories, 10K steps, and no pre-bedtime sugar; see my progress report above
5/3 - 128.4 - yesterday under calories, 11K steps including a knockout trail run/hike with some elevation gain (I walk when my hr hits the red zone)
5/4 - 127.8 - yesterday huge smashing headache, came home and slept, ate too many foods, and only walked 3K steps
5/5 - 128.6 - yesterday 10K steps including a really warm and windy run of 3.5 miles. Over calories though and did not log. Back at it today.
5/6 - 129.6 - yesterday under steps, over calories. Dang having a hard time getting back into my routines.
5/7 - 129.8 - yesterday under steps and over calories. Less sugar but still too much snacking. Sugar is not an enemy to me, just can get hard to stop once I start when in the wrong space. Sore throat all day and very low energy. Slept 10-11 hours two days in a row, hope that helps!

4/28 - 160.9 That 5 is just around the corner. Hoping to dodge the rain and get out for a nice long walk. 16,286 steps and 1334 calories. Happy Saturday!
4/29 - 161.1 Meh. 18,717 steps and 1343 calories. Moved lots considering all the rain. Today, beat those steps and stay somewhat dry!
4/30 - 160.6 -20,048 steps and 1569 calories. Had a nice long walk and did some lunch prep.
5/01 - 160.6 -15,789 steps and 1303 calories. Took some to get out for my evening walk but I got it done. Happy May everyone!!
5/02 - 160.5 -17,656 steps and 1545 calories. Tried some Halo Top not too bad a little sweet it was Pancake and Waffle? Nice and cool after a walk.
5/03 - 160.8 -That feeling of up, but then you realize it just .3 and could be anything ... Keep moving forward and lets see what tomorrow brings! 15,769 steps and 1615 calories.
5/04 - 160.3 -17,214 steps and 1463 calories. Looking forward to a weekend of activity and keeping busy.
5/05 - 159.4
5/06 - 161.2
5/07 - 164.0 ... Been an eventful weekend. SO is home and has had surgery to his Achilles heel. He has an extremely high pain tolerence, so that made it a little harder to get diagnosed. He's on zero pain meds and thinks he can still do whatever as pain doesn't hold him back. He flew home after the doctor, where he got hurt, pretty much said he just sprained it and had surgery here at home. .... Just as my numbers started to look good again I stress ate and sat too much in hospital waiting rooms. Now to figure out a plan to keep my calories low and find how to get my walks in as he can't go with me. Week 40 should be interesting. I WANT MY 5's BACK!!3 -

Day/Weight/Comment
4/28 - 321.4 (-3.0) It's one heck of a start. I'm not even sure why the loss happened. I ate a good bit yesterday and the day before. I guess my metabolism is kicking in ways I don't know or it could be the getting up and moving once an hour for just a few minutes an hour. I'm not complaining, just curious so I can repeat it going forward.
4/29 - 320.2 (-1.2) Woohoo! It's still going down. It seems the moving around is still the key and reasonable eating. I'm not going crazy with food or motion. This is helping to keep Ed quiet as well. Quite interesting.
4/30 - 317.2 (-3.0) That's a pretty good drop. Ed's voice is pretty quiet lately and I have been eating better. I am sleeping alright. I feel pretty good these days. And drinking plenty of water, definitely plenty of water.
5/1- 316.2 (-1.0) Not so much exercise as it was just diet. I'm hoping for more exercise today, but nervous about activity while my aide is here today. I feel uncomfortable doing my walking in front of others, like I have to explain myself. I know it sounds silly, but there it is.
5/2 - 316.6 (+0.4) Not sure about the increase, but not worried about it as well. I weighed in at an earlier time which might explain it. No big deal.
5/3 - 317.6 (+1.0) No explanation for the increase other than it wasn't the same time of day, which I know does impact what the scale says. I'm not going to worry about it. I did well with my eating yesterday. I just need to stick with it, and I nailed my walking as well. I almost hit the active mark for my Fitbit for every hour except one, and that was just by a few steps. We'll see how it goes today.
5/4 - 314.6 (-3.0) I'm pleasantly surprised by the drop, likely drop of water as TOM draws closer to a close. I'm kept at my diet and hit my daily step goal. I don't know if I will hit my steps today given the time of day that I am coming fully around. I have some things that I need to do today, but my CSS wants to meet at 3:15 throwing a monkey wrench into the timing of things. Oh, well, there's tomorrow to work things out.
5/5 - 315.6 (+1.0) Probably from all the sodium from my wasabi peas binge yesterday. It's okay, the trend is still generally down for the month.
5/6 - 315.8 (+0.2) It's likely waste weight due to bowel issues. My eating was good, my exercise not so much but I was well under my caloric goal yesterday. I may need to take a laxative today. I have an errand I need to run and laundry to do today. I should also work on cleaning some as well. I saw my grandmother yesterday, and we walked around outside enjoying the warm weather, then sat for awhile. I miss having her just one floor below me. Her birthday is coming up this Thursday and then Mother's Day in one week. Lots of planning to do and keeping everything else, including not losing sight of my fitness goals this week!
5/7 - 313.4 (-2.4) Finally a solid drop after a few days of bouncing around. I don't know if it'll stick, but I hope that it will. I'm dealing with some cravings today, but so far I'm drawing up the order but cancelling it at the last minute. I am a bit hungry, but need to hold on to what I can.

5/07 276.3 What the heck not sure the issue but it is what it is
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.

4/29 / 258.6 / This whoosh is slowing in velocity. That’s fine with me.
4/30 / 259.0 / I am still working my plan. I didn’t get as much water in yesterday as normal.
5/01 / 259.8 / I think this is water retention. I am wearing a ring that is tight although it wasn’t when I was in the 260s. I got my water in yesterday and ate within my plan.
5/02 / 259.4 / I am doing better with the water.
5/03 / 258.4 / I didn’t think I had allergies. I do.
5/04 / 258.4 / Heading out to a winery today. It is really easy to limit consumption since a pour is 1 oz.
5/05 / 258.4 / I counted each pour as 1 ounce even though they were all ¾ ounce. My husband made dinner…and it was far too salty. He even pointed it out.
5/06 / 258.0 / that’s a bit of a loss. My sinuses are not happy.
5/07 / 259.0 / Wow. I’ll be better next round. Far too much salt, for some reason I am craving it.

Wow. There's a significant chunk of us who really struggled this last round. I know my choices, I also know I struggled with craving salt and some hunger. Is it fatigue from trying to lose weight for several months? Is it spring and not planning ahead?
Let's make this next 10 days a recommitment to health
I will choose my goal over my short term struggle.3 -
Round 38 was a success!
Round 38: SW 159
Round 39: SW 150.5
Goal for R39: -2 lbs
Boundaries for R39:
- No manmade sugar;
- No yeast aka bread and alcohol;
- No oil aka nuts, chips, cheese, meat;
- 30 minutes of exercise;
- 10k steps.
4/28: 154.5. It was a good day. Food was spot on and logged.
4/29: 150.5. Walk in the kitchen. Mowed yard. Lots of errands. Food choices were good. Just had a lot of quantity. Still a good day.
4/30: 150.5. No morning workout. Cramping badly today. Bike on trainer. Did not make 10k steps on the pedometer. But that's because it was sitting on a table for most of the day. Good eating day.
5/01: 150. Morning workout. Walk after dinner. Steps 11k+. Good eating day.
5/02: 150.5. Morning workout with weights. Tired this morning. And honestly a bit bummed that I’m not seeing the losses that I did last round. *Sigh*. Forgot my fitbit again today. But got in steps at lunch and with the morning workout, I'm sure I was >10K. Eating may have been a little bit more than my recent normal but it was within my boundaries set. All logged. Can you eat too many grapes and cauliflower?
5/03: 150.5. Holding strong onto the 150s. No morning workout. Needed the extra sleep. Eliptical at the gym. Food on track and logged.
5/04: 150.5. Morning workout. Don’t know how I did with steps. Dinner out with Hubs. Full of oil. Alcohol. Bread. And chocolate. (Birthday T-2)
5/05: 151. Morning workout. Let’s not talk about the rest. (Birthday T-1)
5/06: 151.5. Phew. Only up a pound after the horrible day on Saturday. Morning workout. Mowing. Gardening. 12k+ steps. Food within limits. But not tracked. (Actual Birthday
5/07: 152. (lets see what Wednesday has to bring.) Morning workout. I'm sure the rest of the day will be good too. Now on to Round 40!

Round 39 SW 190.2
4/28 - 190.2
4/29 - 192.2: Big dinner of country style ribs, baked potato, corn, and a couple of Seagrams spiked. My weekly indulgence. The rest of the week will be better!
4/30 - 194.2: Not heading in the direction I want, but today is a new day. Ham and more Seagrams are not helping the situation!
5/1 - 192.6: That's better. Tuna sandwich for lunch; chicken salad for dinner. 45 minute walk with the daughter.
5/2 - 191.8: I’ll take it! Same lunch as yesterday. Dinner was a couple of slices of ham and a baked potato. No exercise.
5/3 - 190.2: Woohoo!!! Back where I started the round! LOL. My doctor called yesterday afternoon and is decreasing my thyroid meds again (just lowered it 5 weeks ago). Not sure why it's dropping all of a sudden.
5/4 - 190.0: Considering I succumbed to my sweet tooth yesterday, I'm surprised! Hopefully this means I may just say farewell to the 190's tomorrow morning when I do my weekly weigh-in. Working on a fast today...on hour 14 right now.
5/5 - 189: I did it!! Finally hit the 180’s!! Heading to NHRA TODAY, so food choices won’t be optimal. Going to do the best I can though!
5/6 - 191.2: Did great with the food at NHRA (thanks to an undercooked burger), but we stopped and had Chinese on the way home. Damn sodium!!
5/7 - 192.6: Lazy Sunday and too much to drink! Not counting it as a loss, since my weigh-in days are Saturday.
On to the next round!

This is Round 12 for me, and my second full round with the Keto lifestyle.
Felt a twinge of guilt after my micro-slip with chocolate last night, and I really didn't feel like taking responsibility for it. Old feelings, but it's good to remember where I came from, so I can catch myself before I ever have a chance to go completely back.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/28: no scale. Went to a work-related party with my wife and and head a couple of bites of a dark chocolate dessert they had there. Probably has 35-40 carbs total. Not too bad, but not great, either. And it probably contributed to what happened below.
4/29: no scale. Total non-Keto binge last night. If I'm honest, I felt this coming, and last night (my Godson's baptism party) was the perfect time for it. Details... I had a couple of drinks (maybe 3) my wife made (her first time making white sangria... Delicious!), I had more than 3 cupcakes (cut off the bottoms and eat the tops), and I had some fruit with condensed milk and coconut shavings. Everything else was Keto-friendly, but I'm sure I screwed things up in the short-term. I really don't want to make this a habit. I'm back in the Keto wagon, starting right now. I've got a shopping list I need to buy, but I likely won't get a chance to go to the store tonight. Shopping and food prep tomorrow. My back is 85% better.
4/30 = 197.4 (+0.6). Not bad at all. I was worried that my weekend was going to involve many more consequences. This is Day 2 of my Keto reboot. I ate to plan for lunch and dinner yesterday (skipped breakfast). I have some Keto sticks; I need to try them out and see how long it takes me to get back into ketosis. My back is 93% better. I'm going to try basketball tonight, but I'm going to take it slow.
5/01 = 195.8 (-1.6). BOUNCE BACK™. I played basketball for the first time since hurting my back 1.5 weeks ago, and overall it was a success! There's still some lingering pain, but it did not get any worse because of basketball, which is good. Food-wise I was on-target with carbs, slightly over with protein and calories, but everything was acceptable given it was a basketball day. Took in 176 ounces of water. Overall I'm feeling pretty good. Whatever I did this weekend with my cheat, I don't feel like I'm starting over (no Keto flu or anything). I'm going to try to remember to try out my Keto sticks tonight/tomorrow morning.
5/02 = 196.0 (+0.2). I'm totally okay with this. I only had about 96 ounces of water yesterday, but other than that I did "okay" eating: at my carb goal, slightly over on protein, slightly under on calories. I was not in control of my dinner portion-wise, but I made sure the things I ate were Keto-friendly. Come to think of it, lunch was the same way; I ordered broccoli and steak at a hole-in-the-wall Asian place and ended up throwing away 3/4 of my food (lots of rice and teriyaki sauce). I'm getting some work done on my phoenix tattoo tonight (touch-up, about a year and a half after getting it). I got my phoenix to remind me that, no matter how bad things might get, I'm always capable of "coming back" from just about anything. Rebirth and renewal. I'm really hoping I can play basketball Thursday, but if my friend does significant work on my tattoo, I will need to let it heal up first.
5/03 = 196.0 (no change). Very busy today, so no time to post in my "normal" manner. Got some touch ups done on my Phoenix tattoo last night, which means no lifting or basketball for the next 10 days. Are within carb and protein macros last night, but was under on calories/fat. I forgot to use my Keto suck again this morning.
5/04 = 196.0 (no change). I don't think I've ever stayed steady for 3 days in a row. Weird. I was slightly over my carb goal, but all other macros were on point. 9 more days until I can exercise (the way I want to)! Went for a walk last night with my wife, which was nice. She has been wanting to get fit/lose weight for a while now, but has not yet found the motivation. She's 5'2"and about 125, so she's in the healthy range re: BMI, and she'd look great if she didn't lose an ounce. I still want to be supportive, though. Plus it's extra steps for me!
5/05 = 196.8 (+0.8). Last night I had another moment of weakness, and had a glass of Zinfandel plus a little too much dark chocolate. I ate within plan during the day, but had some salad for dinner that I probably shouldn't have (had some quinoa and millet in it) with my grass-fed beef. I'm actually feeling a little crappy today. It might be my food choices. Back on the wagon! I'm going to make good choices for the rest of the weekend. I'm also going shopping today (which I didn't last week), and I'm going to food prep (which I haven't yet). I'm sure this has been limiting my Keto potential, and I'm excited to REALLY get started. 7 more days until I can play basketball and lift weights. I'll be happy at this point if I can just maintain where I'm at for this challenge.
5/06 = 194.0 (-2.8). SWOOSH™ (weight loss due to sickness). I got sick yesterday morning, and it lasted just about a day (I suspect food poisoning). But I didn't feel like eating (I barely did), I didn't feel like drinking (I forced down about 90 oz), and I didn't do anything but lay around and/or sleep. The good news is that I feel better today, so my plan to shop and food prep is on. 6 more days until my tattoo heals enough for basketball and lifting weights. A side note. I checked my body fat for the first time since starting Keto. I've lost 8.6 lbs, and 1.6% body fat.
5/07 = 194.2 (+0.2). The SWOOSH™ sticks! It was the workday from HELL. No time for posting. But I have 15 minutes after getting through it to finish off the challenge. Things are going well at this point, but I'm going to stay cautious because I can't exercise vigorously for 5 more days.

Disappointed with my weigh in, I thought I was going to be down instead up. I have to keep positive!
4/29- I have had my rainbow of fruits and vegetables. Started taking fish oil again.
4/30 - Good walking day 11,500 steps. It was so nice outside, did a little to much cleaning the garden. Eating, drinking water healthy!
5/01-Planning my meals, going for groceries. Eating lots of vegetables, and fruit. Been over 10, 000 steps the last two days. Stay positive!!!
5/02- Great time in the morning, enjoying the weather. Its like Summer! Eating healthy! Fitbit steps 9,000.
5/03- Today is my 6 week, since my surgery still have to be careful with bending if I do to much I have headaches. I am doing so well it is unbelievable. Eating like a rainbow lots of coloured vegetables. Making sure to start my vitamins in taking a good fish oil, Vit. C. Lots of water.
5/04 It was a crazy, windy day, 123 km. Lots of damage. My weight is up today, and I have been eating good.
Have a great weekend!
5/05 It was take it easy day had a really bad headache which isn't good for me. Back on track tomorrow. I have been eating healthy lots of vegetables and drinking my water. No exercise today.
5/6 trying to get back on track, no matter what I always log my food, steps are up. Eating lots of vegetables, tried beets for variety. 30 mins of exercise.
5/7 Fitbit steps 12,000, eating vegetables with all my meals. Trying as hard as I can to lose some weight!5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
4/28 - 164.0 - Well there's my goal weight in one day but I know this number won't stick around. Pretty sure my body is dehydrated this morning so I'm drinking lots of water today. Would love to keep this number but seeing it at the end of the 10 days will work for me if I do gain in tomorrows weigh in. I had a busy day yesterday and have a busy day ahead of me. Have to keep it healthy today.
4/29 - 165.4 - There's the gain I was expecting but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I'm happy with where my weight is at this point in time, and I'm learning to be ok with what the numbers on the scale say and what the size of my clothes are because I see differences in the mirror when I look at myself and I'm proud of the hard work I've done this far to get me where I'm at. When I truly get down to yesterday's weight (164) I'll be exactly 10 pounds lighter than when I started my weight loss journey! Hoping to get there by the end of this 10 day challenge and then I'll celebrate (with something other than food or booze ... a nice swim suit for this summer maybe?!)
4/30 - 165.8 - Not liking this upward trend I'm on right now, need to kick my butt into high gear and start bringing it back down. Had an active day yesterday doing a lot of yardwork and I ate under calories so hoping it shows in tomorrows weigh in. Got lots of healthy snacks ready and lunches prepped for the week, goal weight here I come!
5/01 - 163.8 - What??!! Where did this come from? It's awesome if it sticks around and if it does I'll have to set a new goal for the last half of this challenge, if not I'll have one day of great excitement. Could not believe my eyes when I stepped on the scale this morning, weighed myself 3 different times. Super excited for today, it's supposed to be beautiful out and I just want to get out there and getting moving. I hope everyone has as good of a day as I have so far!
5/02 - 163.8 - Kind of surprised this number stuck around, I never have such a big drop, a gain yes but never a drop. At this point I reached and surpassed my goal for this round so my new goal is to maintain the loss, my weight fluxuates a lot and I want to stay at (or be below) this weight at the end of the 10 days. I'm learning what to eat to help my weight not change so much from day to day so I just need to keep at it. At this weight I'm officially 10 pounds down (whoo!!) so if I can maintain, I'm going to treat myself to some new summer clothes! And boy do I need them
5/03 - 163.6 - I was actually expecting a gain not a loss today as I did some snacking on chips and cheese dip yesterday and while dinner was small is wasn't the healthiest. I'll take the loss today though and just remember where the gain comes from if I do gain tomorrow or Saturday, which is most likely when I'll see those chips come back to haunt me. No snacking today and hopefully get a walk in before or after the storm that's suppose to happen today.
5/04 - 163.6 - Why was I so hungry yesterday? All day? Hoping today's not the same or I'll definitely gain back what I already lost. Not enough steps, rained most of the day so I wasn't able to go walk, very late dinner. Need to get back on track today so I continue to see results.
5/05 - 163.6 - Super happy to be maintaining this weight. Didn't log everything last night but I'm pretty sure I was over calories (for the first time this week) had a nice relaxing night at home and had a couple drinks. Will get lots of walking in today and tomorrow so hoping my overage won't show on the scale.
5/06 - 163.6 - Didn't weigh myself until about 4 this afternoon as we decided to a last minute overnight trip just a couple hours from home yesterday and I didn't have a scale this morning. Got lots of hiking in but not enough water. Trying to catch up on water now and as I didn't log anything yesterday or today I'm hoping I didn't go over calories any. Eating was pretty good though, all home cooked foods and no snacking besides a handful of a spicy peanut mix. Looking forward to tomorrow and the final weigh in of this challenge.
5/07 - 163.6 - Pretty good way to end the round. I hope to see another good drop this next round too. I have a vacation coming up in about a month and my goal is to weigh 155ish, less would be better though. Had a good breakfast, lunch is packed and a good walk is planned for later this afternoon. Looking forward to this next round!3 -

4/29: 108.8kg/239.8lbs – Day off and it proved! 3 awful meal choice with lots of beer in-between, I am not bothered though as I had a cracking day!
4/30: 108.1kg/238.3lbs – Back on track, dragged my better half on a run this morning for the first time in forever! Nice little run at a conservative pace. Now to crack on and lose some more weight over the remaining 7 days!
5/01: 106.6kg/235.0lbs – Good golly gosh, this is a pleasant surprise! Managed the gym last night but had to make it more of a HIIT session as I had limited time. Was supposed to do 11km this morning but have pushed it back to tomorrow – Gym tonight with my brother, very excited indeed. SO far 62.6lbs lost!!
5/02: 106.4kg/234.6lbs – Weather is awful today so I’m moving my run back till after work! Another day another loss
5/03: 106.5kg/234.8lbs – In and around the same mark, no doubt this will drop back down. Also squeezed in a few beers while watching the footy last night so can’t complain really.
5/04: ????/???? – I just forgot to step on the scale, oops. Ran a half marathon this morning for the second time ever, it went really really well. I weighed myself after the run and I was down near 105kg but I don’t like to count this weight as I can lose anywhere from 1-2kg on longer runs. 9 days till my half marathon, and 15 days till holiday. WOOOOOO.
5/05: 105.3kg/232.1lbs – The weekend started so well…
5/06: 106.4kg/234.6lbs – This is beer, all beer, 1.1kg of beer
5/07: 106.0kg/233.7lbs – Happy to finish here, I’m not so good at posting on here over the weekend, especially as it’s a bank holiday in the UK.
Overall loss (start of round) – 29.0kg/63.9lbs

Day: Weight: Comments
4/28: 305.2: Don't understand why it's gone up so much. I know I didn't eat too healthy but was still maintaining calorie levels. Could be because of T-TAPP bootcamp I started 2 days ago. Maybe muscles are growing stronger?
