6/08 - 170.6 - no loss from yesterday but today’s my weekly weigh in and I’m down 1.4 from last week!
6/09 - traveling - couldn’t weigh but I know it’ll be a gain because of all the food last night. Was worth it tho! Will just have a good week to make up for it
6/10 - 172.0 - operation “make up for the weekend” has officially started
6/11 - 172.4 - I have a feeling it’s going to be one of those weeks where I eat within deficit and workout but the scale number goes up. Happens every couple weeks for me
6/12 - 170.8 - finally headed back in the right direction!
6/13 - 169.4 - worked really hard on my deficit and exercise yesterday and glad to see it shown in the scale!

6/7 / 232 / Not a shocker given that I was up at 4 am to get on a train.
6/8 / 231 / Back to a more normal weigh in time. Yesterday was mostly train rides, though I did get walking in. High sodium and not enough water, so I'm pleased to be at 231. Woke up with a killer headache. I don't know if it's sinus or lack of caffeine (I've been trying to cut back). I started today with a big breakfast, so we'll see how my calories shake out.
6/9 / 230.6 / Sinus headache again (I'm pretty sure it's sinus).
6/10 / 230.4 / Slowly creeping down. And headache AGAIN. I've gone a tiny bit over calories the past couple of days. I've been eating bigger breakfasts than normal for me, and it's not a winning strategy. It's not enough to cause me to gain. It will just slow my loss. But today, I'm getting that back down to my normal. I've abandoned giving up caffeine right now.
6/11 / 231.4 / Bah.
6/12 / 230.4 / All day on the 11th in jury duty. Very under calories, though even more under on any hydration until late.
6/13 / 232 / I've got some digestive things going on that are no fun. I'm doing well, calorie-wise, so I'm not worried about this weigh in. I keep missing my exercise goal, though.

Round 43
My Round 1
SW: 132.4 (6/7/18)
GW: 123 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
6/07- 132.4 - lots of brown rice and broccoli for lunch and dinner. Need to make sleep a priority.
6/08 - 133.2 -always annoying when you eat no processed food, lots of veggies and come in heavier. Gym and yoga. Intermittent fast from 6pm-11am.
6/09 132.8. Yay. Was expecting to have gained weight as we did sushi last night but I don’t use say sauce so winning. I slept through my morning alarm to go run. Sleep continues to be a need. Plan to run later and indoor Rock climb.
6/10-133. I had 2 beers and pasta for dinner last night. I needed the carbs. Lots of physical activity so came in under my calorie allowance. 2 hour solid effort bike ride this am. Goal is to not “reward” myself with junky food and /or beer but rather healthy foods and just one beer or glass of wine. I got sleep last night and feel so much better!
6/11 - 132.8. intermittent fast. Last night I ate a frozen veggie pizza. Not the best but not the worst. Enjoyed adult beverages, too. Early dinner last night to prepare for morning fast. Headed to the gym and then a short hill repeat run.
6/12 - 133. Drag. But I am not surprised. Work has been very busy. Popped another veggie pizza in the oven. I only ate 2/3 of it this time. I ate a big arugula salad first. I know I am making good decisions and eating within and under my calorie allowance. Eventually I think things will give
6/13 -135. Good times. I am actually OK with this as I was expecting it. Did a nice workout at the climbing gym yesterday and went out to eat for a bday. I went 23 cal over my budget. I chose a fish sandwich on rye bread, a plain baked potato and I had two beers. It’s incredible how much sodium they put in food when you eat out. The cool thing is my harness for climbing is getting bigger. Ha. So clothes fitting better even if the scale mocks me today.10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
6/07 - Thursday - 198.4 - Nice! Last night was crazy busy, still ate well. Packed and ready to leave from work! I am committed to being present in the moment while away, but also plan to keep up my habit and log in to MFP each day. No scales. Aim to maintain while still enjoying!
6/08 - Friday - Traveling - ate at maintenance today! And yesterday. Aiming to do the same tomorrow and Sunday!
6/09 - Saturday - Traveling - another day at maintenance!
6/10 - Sunday - Traveling - Ate at maintenance again!
6/11 - Monday - 199.8 - Holy moly I cannot believe this! Perhaps I'm a bit dehydrated after traveling? Although I usually retain water after a flight. I had a lovely vacation with my family - it was not entirely centered around food but I certainly enjoyed myself eating instead of stressing about every bite. It was so nice to get away from it all. It was also fun to enjoy things this weekend and not feel bad about it. I'm not on a diet this time around - it's a lifestyle change. So I'm not stressing about "cheating" or having a few not so perfect days. Life is for living and I did a lot of that this weekend! The food I ate fueled me to wake up and watch the sunrise on the beach. It fueled me to swim and play in the ocean for hours. It was food I shared with loved one's. It was food that made me smile. I thought I might go home with a few extra pounds of weight, but it seems I have found the right balance and I get to come home with a few hundred memories, a heart full of love, and gratitude for the things my body allows me to do.
6/12 - Tuesday - 201.2 - Yesterday was tough - I was so tired, and I don't do well with anything when tired. I made it to the grocery store - avoided the chips in the check out line - but ate 2 slices of deli meat when I got home. Cooked and ate dinner, ate some ice cream, ate some chips, ate some more ice cream. Oi. That hasnt happened in a while but between the indulgences over the weekend and the lack of sleep I got a bit out of control. Logged it and I'm moving on! Back to my usuals today - smoothie, leftovers for lunch, popcorn for a snack, and meats thawing for dinner tonight. Lots of water to flush out ALL this sodium I've consumed over the past 5 days, expecting the gain to stick around a few days but hopeful to be back in onderland by rounds end!
6/13 - Wednesday - 200.6 - Ate within calories yesterday! Lots of water and fresh air really helped. I also did a little research on lack of sleep and weight. Turns out not getting enough sleep does indeed cause hormonal shifts that make you hungrier, and hungrier for fatty foods. So, I got to bed early again and I'm ready to crush another day! Got my smoothie, wrap with chips (portioned out) for lunch, and an extra scoop of protein powder for a snack because my protein goals have been falling short lately. Visualizing the scale being in the 100's by Saturday. Visualization helps me with a lot of things - I used to drive crazy distances and I'd visualize myself getting home at the end of it and it really helped me through those drives, so I kept it as a tool, and I'm going to try applying it here. Visualizing myself strong, fit, healthy, and happy!

My Round 1
Day/Weight/Comment
6/07 168.00
6/08 166.8 Had a tough PM last night and overindulged in carbs, surprising that it didn't show up on the scale but I am grateful. I will get some exercise today for sure and hopefully get rid of the bloat!
6/09 166.6 I succumbed again last night to sweets after dinner, going over my calorie budget again. My husband is out of town and I feel like this is my "excuse" or the cause of my lack of motivation in the evening. I am surprised yet again that it didn't show up on the scale, but I will not push my luck for a third day in a row. I started the day both days really great, its just the 8 pm and later that has me struggling. Or not really struggling, just kind of saying what the heck, and going for it. Today is a new day. I can't change the past only move forward.
6/10 166.6 3rd night in a row where I overindulged.
6/11 166.6 so incredibly grateful to read everyone's challenges so similar to mine. It is hard sometimes to remember that it is a journey, a process, to enjoy the ride and not be so hard on myself. I had a really great day yesterday, a little over my calorie allowance, but I feel really good this morning because I made good choices. Today is going to be a great day!
6/12 166.8 I am actually super ok with this small gain, knowing that weighing myself daily will not be the best indicator of long term success. I was on plan and have already mapped out my meal plan for tomorrow. NSV-Maintained my calm all day in spite of outside forces attempting to lure me into stress. Eating on plan with one small exception of a bite of a cinnamon roll. I did indulge in 2 fiber one bars which I need to limit to 1 max a day tomorrow.

RSW: 182.0
RGW: 179.0
UGW: 130
R42 SW 186.6 EW 182 (-4.6)
Day/Weight/Comment
6/07 – 181.8: Miniscule drop, but I’LL TAKE IT!!! Ate well and didn’t eat back exercise calories. Really psyched for my Round 2. Thinking I’ll do another Booster Weekend. I didn’t do all the exercise I wanted last weekend, but the thought of my personal mini challenge kept me focused on eating well.
6/08 – 181.8: Same, and it’s ok. Did no workout yesterday and ate within calories but late. Planning how to stay on point this weekend with eating and exercise. Really want the downward creep to continue each day.
6/09 – 182.8: HUH??? This hurts my feelings because I ate within calories yesterday. Fine, I didn’t formally exercise, other than 45 minutes of housework, but seriously… a whole pound up??? This is too early in my journey for this. This is when I start to waiver, I NEED to go down please..
6/10 – 181.8: Back to starting weight at the beginning of this round. Grateful for this.
6/11 – 181.0: Late weigh in. Pleasant surprise since I had a Twizzlers attack last night. And not just the ordinary Twizzlers – the ones stuffed with creamy icing. I still managed to stay within calories, but way over on sugar and carbs. Gonna drink lots and lots of water today to flush it out.
6//12 – 181.0: Same. Below calories yesterday and one-hour walk. Would love to start running soon, but it’s been so long and I’m a bit nervous of injury. I really don’t want anything to stall my exercise, so I’ll take it slow, build strength and try a bit later. Hoping for a drop tomorrow.
6/13 – 181.8: Hmmm. Trying not to overreact to this yoyo week. Last night, sweet cravings took over and I blew it. Note to self: next time DH calls to say “would you like anything [read junk food] from the grocery store” say NO!!! Twizzlers (again) and Sweet and Heat popcorn. My unevolved lizard brain is in control of my eating. I also jinxed myself and injured my knee on my walk yesterday. Yes, this is how far gone I am … I injured myself WALKING.

We went out for lunch yesterday (Mexican, but I had grilled chicken and rice with veggies), so although I stayed pretty much within calorie bounds, I'm sure my sodium was higher than usual. I spent a good hour digging and planting flowers in my garden.
6/08 - 149.8 - 1245 - 10-day ave 1421.4
OK, scale, I'm ready for a little drop if you don't mind. I'm keeping calories low, macros good, and I'm exercising, so come on, your turn.
6/9 - 149.8 - 1433 - 10-day ave 1435.5
Sigh. I really thought I'd see a little more movement here. My total calories are right at my estimated TDEE (maintenance), but I'm burning a reasonable number each day. Or I thought I was. I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing through the end of this round and see if there's any progress. If not, I'll look for a way to shake things up. It's pouring rain this morning, with lightning, so no walk, but I'll find something else.... Lunch with a friend, but I'll stick to good stuff. Have a lovely weekend, all!
6/10 - 149.6 - 1442 - 10-day ave 1448.9
Finally, a baby step in the right direction. I find these numbers & averages fascinating. There's still one high-calorie day in my 10-day set of numbers - it will be there for 2 more days. Without it, by average would be about 40 calories lower. I'll be interested to see what happens when I hit the lower averages (assuming I don't splurge again any time soon!). I do eat what I want - pizza for lunch yesterday with a friend - but still keep my daily total within bounds and that seems to make the difference. Anyway, if you find yourself frustrated with the daily ups & downs, try averaging, either yourself or using one of the apps that calculate running averages of weights entered.
6/11 - 150 - 1374 - 10-day ave 1456.6 (7-day ave 1421)
I'm officially frustrated. Phooey.
6/12 - 150 - 1325 - 10-day ave 1447.7 (7-day ave 1427)
Okay, whatever. I just reset my calories goal 90 lower than before. I'm not all that happy to be that low, although it's not much below my estimated TDEE, but will see what happens. I should be back to truly regular exercise by next week and will add back some calories then.
6/13 - 149.8 - 1345 - 10-day ave 1400 (7-day ave 1384)
Back again to what seems to be my body's favorite weight. But we're gonna break through it this time! Our days of rain seem to be over for a while, so I should be able to get at least one, maybe two walks in. A year ago I was walking 2-3 hours/day and losing on 1800 calories. I need to get back to that regime! (Have I said before that moving & being "in transition" for 4 months sucks?) Again, thanks for the inspiration - I read your comments and see that I have no excuse for not getting my exercise in!

My habit of logging here is working as well in maintenance as it did while losing. Wishing everyone a god round!
Round 42 GOAL = Log every day. Get 5 cardio workouts. Get 5 mini strength workouts.
6/7 - 126.4 - whoosh of -2 pounds in a day. This takes me back to my pre-vacation range, getting rid of the bit I gained AFTER coming back. Yesterday just under maintenance calories, 30 min elliptical arctrainer, and tested my recovering knee in a 1.25 mile run ... it passed!
6/8 - 127.0 - Yesterday right at maintenance calories, RAN 2.2 MILES, walked an extra bit, and got my 10K steps.
6/9 - 127.4 - Yesterday under maintenance by 100 or so, ran 2 miles, and did a little body-weight strength workout, just starting. 10K steps.
6/10 - 128.0 - Yesterday 170 over maintenance calories and I LOGGED IT ANYWAY (that has been a fight for me so yay). Left Knee has gotten jealous of Right Knee and decided it wanted extra massage, the neoprene sleeve, arnica, and biofreeze TOO. Unfortunate, but maybe I shouldn't have done so many body weight lunges and squats barefoot on a cushy rug while watching the Warriors win the title Friday night. Nonetheless, 10K steps and a short walk.
6/11 - 128.4 - Yesterday under maintenance calories, 13K steps, and a workout that mixed short run, elliptical with sprints, and a little strength
6/12 - 126.8 - Yesterday under maintenance calories, 8K steps and at least got a few strength exercises in. Emotional day.
6/13 -126.8 - Yesterday under maintenance calories. It was just a day to get through and learn from. Here's to less self-caused emotional drama today.
Progress report: have accomplished 3/5 cardio workouts and 3/5 mini strength workouts so far. Time to finish strong, I see how anxiety the last couple of days affected my plan.

6/12- No weigh in today. No exercise this morning. Crappy night of sleep. Got to fit in some time at the gym lifting. But it doesn’t look promising today. Ended up walking to the ballpark- But decided to do #1 workout of C25K. Pretty good eating day.
6/13-150. Morning workout followed by some extra biking. Going to be a full day of exercise as I am planning on walking at lunch and the lawn needs to be mowed. Also want to work in the garden; and lift. I need to quit my job so that I can get it all in!!!

Age 60, 5'4.5" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me. Changed MFP setting 5/5/18 [R39] to 1/2# per week loss ~ within 10# of UGW, weight loss had stalled 3 months + was feeling hungry more often.
MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145 / no goal dates ~ I get there when I get there
Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14
Ecstatic with my 5/15/18 annual workplace Health Risk Assessment: waist smallest since 2007 and BMI 25.6
My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

Day/Weight/Comment
•6/7 -196.6 - Oh yeah. My tag-a-long friend.
•6/8 - 196.2 - My actual weight and this water retention is so funny to me. I guess I will see 195.6 again or less by the end of the 10 days. That seems to be the trend.
•6/9 - I weighed in at 198 very early this morning. No opportunity to weigh at my usual time. The increase was surely due to the fact that I took 20ozs of water filled with electrolytes to bed with me. I needed it. It was a hot day yesterday. Ran errands until late afternoon and cooked all evening. My granddaughter, 4, and grandson, 18 mos, were with me today. Five hours of coloring, painting, sticker activities, reading, music and nursery rhyme videos, climbing on me and lap sitting. I'm tired now. I had to rely on my peanut butter as my mid-day meal. I NEVER get to eat an actual meal when they are visiting. I'm feeding them all day though. My water intake is on the low side too. Why? I give those little rascals water, but they drink mine. Smh. I guess mine tastes better to them. Can't wait for the next visit.
•6/10 - 199.2 - Not alarmed by this weigh in. I just didn't weigh before consuming 16 ozs of water and 2 large mugs of coffee.
•6/11 - 195.2
•6/12 - 195.6 - Early weigh in
•6/13 - 196 - Early start, early weigh in and coffee. Feeling bloated and sluggish today
Need to break out the big guns; psyllium husk! 
No water yet! Very unlike me. My routine will have slight disruptions the rest of the week due to Grands being sick
