Day/Weight/Comment

6/17 - 166 - Considering my giant drop to end the round yesterday, I'm very happy with this weight.
6/18 - 166 - I hopped on the scale several times this morning. It bounced up to 167 once, but since it showed 166 3 times, that is what I'm going with. I had a lot of sodium this weekend so I'll be drinking my water today.
6/19 - 165 - Yay, nice to see this number again. I'll see how long it lasts, but at least it's a downward trend.
6/20 - 165 - I'm really happy that yesterday was not a fluke. It's been 11 years since I've been at this weight. I told my husband this morning that I'm only 10 pounds from our wedding weight. I cautioned him though, that there's going to be a difference between a 37 year old and a 54 year old at the same weight, so don't get too excited!
6/21 - 165 - I don't think I've held a weight for 3 days before. I'm usually bouncing up and down. I'll take it and am starting to hope that I'll see a 164 in the near future.

weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5

Round 44– stay in the upper 180’s and loose the planned gain from Father’s day feast.

6/17 - 189lbs – happy father’s day to all.
6/18 – 191lbs – what a fathers day, food, cocktails , and live music, what a lazy day.
6/19 – 193lbs - very stressful day and didn’t get to eat till after 9pm. Also eat horrible. Could be a bad week!!
6/20 – 190lbs – ate unhealthy crap all day. 1000 calories over maintenance. worked and fished hard yesterday. 5 hours sleep.. 6/19 weight gain was probably the 2 jars of pickles I eat on Monday.
6/21 - 193lbs – lunches have been way to unhealthy the last 2.3 days. Still I knew this was going to be a crazy week.

5'2", Female, Serial Starter, Loss 65lbs in 6 months with MFP in 2013 (250lbs to 185lbs). Did it once, can do it again. Confident it’ll stick this time. SW: 250lbs (05/28/18), UGW: 140-150lbs

R43 SW 240.4 EW 237.6 (-2.8)
R44 SW 237.2 EW TBD

Good luck this round pals!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/17- 237.2 Only .2lbs off my weekly loss goal. Also down .4lbs from yesterday’s R43 EW. Went to BFF’s birthday party with Asian food and skipped all the noodles and carbs. Didn’t have cake. Didn’t miss it. Woohoo!
6/18- 236.8 Readjusted my goals and calories budget decreased by 200 calories. Not worried about it though since I’ve been consistently logging below budget. I have a nagging worry in the back of my mind that this big weight loss at the beginning of my journey won’t stick. I’m at about 13lbs in 3 weeks with just sticking to 1500 calories. No exercise yet because I’m waiting for clearance. I feel like I’m cheating somehow.
6/19- 237.2 Didn’t have to get on the scale to know there would be a gain today. Too much sodium, not enough water. Bloated and crampy today. AF still a no-show. Meh.
6/20- 236.2 Not sure what to think. AF finally decided to visit. I forgot how painful and uncomfortable it is. At least it confirms my suspicion for the gain yesterday. Don’t know how this round will play out. I’ve never tracked my weight during before. Ate at a deficit and was vigilante about drinking water. Bridal shower luncheon for a good friend/coworker today. I’m budgeting my calories for the chocolate cake.
6/21 236.6 AF is not a pleasant visitor. Cramping and cravings. Note to self: STAY THE COURSE. Your body will catch up eventually. 3-4 more pounds and I’ll have lost the equivalent of my 5 month old.

Day/Weight/Comment

6/17 - Traveling

6/18 - 156.8 - A huge win as I was unable to weigh myself over the weekend and we had many meals out as we were on vacation. Getting back to my normal routine today and trying to get plenty of water in.
100 days of logging today!

6/19 - 155.8 - Lots of swimming yesterday with my kids, no snacking, back to IF and plenty of water. Just need to work on how late dinners are. We get so caught up doing stuff outside it's 7-8:00 before we even think about cooking something. Overall yesterday was a good day though, plan on continuing the goodness right on through this round.

6/20 - 154.8 - Would love to cruise right on out of the 150s this round but also would be extremely happy with the number I'm at right now too.

6/21 -154.0 - My round goal! I didn't do anything to deserve this besides eat a little under calories. My steps were horrible and I didn't exercise, won't be surprised if it increases tomorrow but will step it up today and hopefully it'll stick around.

My official weekly weigh in, is Tuesday evening @ TOPS, so my ticker tape will reflect that loss.

My daily weight is on my home scale, so I can monitor how my week is going.

My ultimate goal is 175lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

6/17 - 170.8 - TOM will fall within this round but I’m still hoping to have more success than the last round!
6/18 - 171.0 - TOM and wayyyy too much Chinese food yesterday for Father’s Day
6/19 - 169.6 - yay! Let’s see if I can actually get (and stay) below 169.0 this round...
6/20 - 168.6 - trying not to get too excited by this yet. Wasn’t feeling well yesterday so ate very little. I bet a day or normal eating today will see an “increase” tomorrow
6/21 - 167.8 - squee! Going out for pub dinner and drinks tonight so this will be short lived...but it’s the lowest number I’ve seen on the scale in probably 8+ years!

GW this round: 130
GW: 123 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
6/17 – 133.4. Going to head out for a bike ride in a bit…then get organized for the next week/ 10 days. Grocery shopping, meal prep and setting up a productive week…with sleep, workouts and no more than 40 hours of work.
6/18 -133 intermittent fast. I went to the gym with the trainer and did a 40 min run on hills. Drank 56 oz of water..came home and stepped on the scale for grins and it was 131.4..I know that is water fluctuation but I am happy to see that number…Made a big pot of Minestrone last night- used water and not broth to cut down on the Sodium. I am going on vaca on 6/28 and want to be under 130 by then. It will be a very active vacation.
6/19 – 132.4. Yay. Motivated. Have good foods prepped and exercise on the agenda. Getting a bit more sleep. Must keep it going!
6/20-133…under calories but…a little salty snack of pretzels before bed. I was craving salt and had a good swim during the day and went climbing at night so prob dehydrated, even with the water I did drink. I have never weighed in daily and it is rather fascinating to see! Got 8 hours of sleep last night and I feel gooood today!
6/21 – 132.2. Happy about this…bike ride last night. I think this could be lower but...I had two beers with dinner after but was under my calories as I ate great all day AND for dinner. It's about balance - I can't not live! Planning to get in a run this am and some climbing tonight. I am feeling good. Sleep is helping. 8 hours last night again.

6/18--175.6 Yes please! This is how I was hoping to end the last round. Better late than never! Now let's see if I can make it stick...
6/19--176.4 Well okay. Yesterday was a serious food day. I've noticed that the week after TOM is when I really want to eat everything in sight. I also reached a point yesterday where I just did not want to log everything. Like, I was done. So I stopped--and I was okay with it. The thing is, I'm trying to change my lifestyle and my habits for the rest of my 50 or so years on this planet. Part of that is being okay with not counting and logging all of my calories, because that's not what I want to do every day, forever. So I just went with it. This morning I got up, weighed in, and logged all those calories from yesterday that I didn't feel like logging. And I'm doing just fine! Back on track today and no regrets
6/20--176.8
6/21--177.2 Still bouncing around from the last couple days of overeating. Not worried, other than the fact that I'll be camping all weekend and won't have access to the same healthy food options as normal. Gotta make it work!

6/20 189.2 phew, that feels better! Have a retirement party to attend today - Usually I eat a lot at these events because I am shy. Today I need to be bold and make small talk with people I don't know so that I don't stuff myself.

6/17 181.6: Right direction, finally. Walked even though my knee is hurting. Probably not a good thing, but I have a hard time deciding whether I’m really in danger of permanent injury or whether I’m just being a wuss. Aching knee made it hard to sleep. I’m icing, massaging, using Voltaren and Tylenol. I really don’t want to quit walking now. Perhaps I’ll try wrapping it before I walk today. Made a gorgeous Father’s Day breakfast for hubby and boys and ate a whopping 522 calories of berry pancakes with maple syrup and bacon. Will behave for the remainder of the day.

6/18 – 182.2 Even typing those numbers is hard. My scale heard every expletive known to man this morning!! Oh well … onward. PERSISTENCE!!!

6/19 -- – 180.8 And THAT’S the weirdness of the body and the weight loss process!! Yesterday, I had a horrendous eating day. Within calories, but every manner of junk, both sweet and salty, that you can imagine. I was emotional, sad, depressed and not having any of the healthy lifestyle. At the end of the day, I decided that I would press the reset button for today. And I have. As odd as it is, I will take this drop with both hands and deep gratitude even though it’s probably a false positive.

6/20 -- 181.0 Uptick to reflect nasty eating two nights ago. Walked for an hour. Knee bothered me the whole way. I must make an appointment to have it checked out. Today my niece arrives from overseas for a 20 day stay. The next three weeks are going to be an eating challenge with baseball games, festivals, fairs and other tourist-type activities. Must keep my head in the game.

6/21 – 180.6 Yay!!!! Very busy yesterday giving my house a much needed clean. Racked up 14000 steps just cleaning. Over on sugar and carbs which is a pattern for me. Off to my sister’s today for two days to spent time with the overseas visitor.

This is my 1st round. I've been really struggling with my weight the last month, yo-yo-ing up and down the same couple of pounds. Hope these 10 days can get me back on track.

Start Weight: 171 (Female, age 48, 5'4")
Ultimate Goal Weight: 139
Goal for This Challenge: 3 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

6/17: Weight = 171, I didn't track calories today and had too many salty/carby snacks + Margaritas at Father's Day cook-out

6/18: Weight = 172, I expected a bump up from yesterday but this is a hard number for me, it is the highest I've ever weighed. BUT, I have a plan for the day and feel confidant. I am starting The Betty Rocker 30 Day Challenge, which is different body weight exercises each day and will loosely follow her meal plan. I plan to follow her general eating guidelines just not her actual meal plans all the time.

6/19: Weight = 169, Yesterday was a good day! I completed the day 1 exercises from the 30 day challenge and ate within my calories, hit my macros, and followed the meal plan guidelines: Protein and fruit/veg at every meal, carbs with breakfast and the meal after exercise (which for me was dinner since I worked out in the afternoon), ate every 2-4 hrs, limited dairy and was gluten-free, drank lots of water. Feeling great so far, I will never see the 170's on my scale again!

6/20: Weight = 169, Yesterday was great until the afternoon. I did day 2 of my 30 day challenge workout and ate the 1st two of my scheduled four meals according to plan but then had a stressful afternoon/evening with my daughter (she was having an anxiety attack) and missed my 3rd and 4th meals all together. It was 9 p.m. by the time she was settled and I hadn't eaten since 12:30. I wasn't up for starting to cook at that hour and needed to eat something quick so I just made a sandwich and took to my bed to watch some mindless Bravo shows with a glass or two or Pinot Grigio. I logged those calories this morning and went over my calories by 350 and they were off plan but I'm okay with that. Everything in moderation, and I'm glad I maintained my weight and didn't go into a full binge eating from the stress.

6/21 Weight = 168.6 Yesterday was pretty good. I completed day 3 of my 30 day challenge workout and it was called full body explosion which I definitely feel in my lower body day! Today's workout is yoga which I think is much need to stretch this body out after the past 3 days. Food wise, I loosely followed the challenge meal plan for the 1st two meals of the day, skipped the 3rd meal (usually a late afternoon snack) and then was able to fit in dinner out without going over my calories.

6/17 at 8:30 / 231.2 / I didn't deserve to stay the same weight! We went out to eat to a place with gluten free bread served with oil and parmesan cheese. So good and such a rare treat.

6/18 at 7:30 / 230.8 / Just goes to show that sometimes bodies is weird. I went over calories on Saturday (by 400) and yesterday (by 40) and I'm lighter today.

6/19 at 6:25 / 230.6 / Had a good eating day, considerably under calories, and still managed to fit a Snickers with hazelnut in. Which means I'll want those every day for like six months, but it was worth it.

6/20 at 6:15 / 230.2 / Another good eating day, slightly under calories (I do not have my calories set low at all). And I finally got some exercise in!

6/21 at 6:15 / 230 / I am pleased.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/17 - Sunday - 197.6 - worked hard yesterday to find a happy medium between what I wanted and what I had calories for. Another day of being mindful while still enjoying life. I expect my usual Monday gain before any more losses. Really had to think about goals last night. I'm so happy with my progress so far. I decided to plan for 1lb/week over the next 15 weeks giving me til around November 1st. I updated my goal in Libra and it put my trend goal date around mid September at my current rate. So, I have room for life to happen within my goal timeframe. Feels really empowering to be planning for the next 4 months after a successful 2 months. I am committed to my health!!!
6/18 - Monday - 199.8 - Whoa what a gain! It's a just a hair over my trend line on the upside but this is about progress, not perfection. Not sweating it. I logged everything. But more importantly I ENJOYED everything. Sometimes lately I've been feeling bad about eating certain things - not physically - but guilty - which takes the joy out of food and other moments. So yesterday I had a plan to stay within calories, but we happened upon some BEAUTIFUL broccoli rabe and DH had to make pork and rabe sandwhiches - they were otherworldly. Also picked up some fragrant fresh picked strawberries - was going to have a just a handful - but MIL brought over freshly baked shortbread and I had coolwhip - so after a long day we enjoyed strawberry shortcakes. For me, food really is to be enjoyed - fresh, homemade, healthy food in moderation. And heck, even moderation in moderation! So yesterday was a win for me! Been doing well taking my supplements too! Back to work for another successful week! Forgot my blender bottle at work over the weekend so just a hard boiled egg and a nectarine for breakfast today. Leftover quinoa bowl for lunch with added black bean burger. Plans to order out to avoid record breaking heat tonight and alleviate stress after a super late night at the laundromat last night - going to prelog now so I know what will work best!
6/19 - Tuesday - 198.6 - I'm figuring this out! Chinese food take out last night - but made good choices; half a spicy salmon roll, order or pork steam buns and half order wonton in spicy chili oil. I was able to make those smart decisions because right before I left work, even though at the moment I wasnt hungry, I had a quick protein shake to hold me over. Good thing, I would have been ravenous come dinner time and ordered a ridiculous amount of food and binged. I noticed that my new fish oil supplement is actually putting me over my calorie goal. I got the liquid version for better % and absorption, but its 40 cals/serving twice a day - so that will take some adjusting to - eating almost 100 cals less a day to fit that in - but I'm not forcing it right now. I'm happy that I'm creating a new habit and hopefully improving my numbers, the food will adjust as I figure out how to not be hungry on 100 cals less.
6/20 - Wednesday - 199.0 - Still on target for downward trend - thank goodness for Libra (weight trend tracking app), it keeps me focused on the bigger picture. Went for a walk last night, cleaned the kitchen, did a grocery store trip to get necessities to continue on the right path. Had taco bell cantina bowl for lunch yesterday because not much in the house, it fit in the calories for the day and 200mg over sodium - this is actually a decent fast food option at 500 cals. Buger and salad for dinner. Today I have my smoothie, packed a delicious homemade chefs salad, and working on my water early! Forgot my fish oil this morning, but remembered to take b-complex to work to add to morning routine - it's a process but I feel the routine becoming habit! Prelogged breakfast and lunch. No plan for dinner yet, but I took out a chicken breast and we have tons of veggies to grill or saute so no excuses, cooking dinner at home tonight!
6/21 - Thrusday - 197.6 - There it is again! Woohoo! Tried a new recipe for chicken cordon bleu casserole last night, delicious w/a side of zuchini. I had to eat slowly and mindfully because it was a rich recipe with a smaller volume per serving. I was full by the end of dinner. I have the leftovers + rice for lunch. Plan to have half breakfast shake in AM and half for snack after lunch (I never finish it in the morning so trying something new). Usually dinner is my high calorie meal but lunch is this today, so planning on grilled chicken and salad for dinner. We have some gardening chores to do tonight as well so some fresh air and physical activity will be great! Happy Summer!

6/17 165.6 I am so incredibly stoked with this weight! This means that in spite of myself I am heading in the right direction. It really does help to log on this challenge, it gives me perspective and a bigger picture view of the fluctuations that happen on the scale when you weigh yourself daily. I am learning not to take the little ups and downs too seriously, and also that I can indulge as long as the overall week is more frugal. I am also finding that I am attempting to change my perspective on food. So much of my relationship with food has been complicated, I have punished myself by taking it away, have controlled things by restricting my diet, have rewarded myself by eating, have comforted myself with food, have tried to alleviate boredom and monotony with the variety of stuff I put in my body...but it keeps coming in to my awareness, through things I read or people I talk to, that food is fuel. I can gain enjoyment from eating, but it should be secondary, low on the list. The first purpose of food is to fuel my body. I am working on seeking variety in other ways, in noticing when the boredom seeks the cookie cabinet, and stopping to think and feel first. Not that I won't continue to struggle, not that I won't continue to indulge, but I am going to stay awake.

6/18 WEEKLY WEIGH IN 165.8 I was so incredibly thirsty last night. It reminds me of the low carb diet I was on a couple of years ago. I am changing my macros and increasing the carbs slightly, though a higher lean protein diet does keep me full, I don't want to go KETO. I have planned out the next 4 days of menus since my mom and dad are staying with us, added to the fact that I have started a household budget for groceries...working to get debt free! I feel good about today, and my weekly weigh in this morning is down 1.8 lbs from last Monday, so I would say SUCCESS!!! Remembering its a process, not a destination!!

6/19 165.8 I allowed myself a chocolate chip cookie last night as a treat, although I did try to resist. It's that game I play with myself, since yesterday was my "official" weigh in day, I do this math trade thing that allows me to indulge since I have all week to catch back up. Somehow this does not feel like a healthy relationship, but its so confusing, like I am a fish wondering what water is. I know it is ok to have the cookie, it actually may be good that I am logging it, extra 455 calories and all, instead of hiding it and eating the other 2 cookies in addition. My mom and dad are staying with me as my mom recovers from surgery, which definitely adds an emotional toll to me, but so far I am holding strong.

6/20 164.8 Feels good to be in control of my eating, we can control little else.

6/21 166.2 Immediate feedback on the scale this morning from my late night binge on bananas, chocolate, and buttered toast. Just get back on the bike and keep pedaling.
