7/17- 175
7/18- 175 had a frappe today 🙄 but still stayed in my calorie range!
7/19- 174 woohoo! Don't feel so bad about having the frappe yesterday lol
7/20- 174 Had 1 Henry's hard grape soda last night. Didn't finish it all (didn't really care for it), still stayed in my calorie range. Other than this all I ever drink is water and 1-2 cups of coffee per day 😊
7/21- 173 yayy! I do not have a digital scale, it's just a basic old fashioned scale so I am not sure how accurate it is but I am definitely seeing and feeling a difference 😊

*Weight goal for this round carried over from last round 157.8 (the weight I jumped to in 2016 after my Europe trip, and only went up from there!)
*log every day
7/17 160.4 Last round was a yoyo but here we go again. Still having fun and enjoying the process. Not depriving myself but working on balance and being conscious of my choices.
7/18 160 Yay! I am so happy to get rid of that .4...This round should yield the 150's!!!
7/19 160 Is is cheating to take this though it was one of three weights when I stepped on the scale? Oh well, who cares, I am taking it!
7/20 159.8 Pretty good day even eating out at lunch. Enjoyed a nice morning shopping (mainly returning) and then lunch at True Food Kitchen, which has calorie counts listed on the menu! bonus! I estimated that they may be low when tracking, and stayed pretty much on target except for an extra spoon of chunky peanut butter, but it was just what I was craving.
7/21 158.2 Loving this big drop after last round's fail, though as I am learning the daily fluctuations are not the real indicator of overall loss. But still happy to see this number :-) I took the dogs for a walk before it got hot, and mostly stayed on target until after dinner. I have a weakness for sweets and "protein bars" are my current "legal" indulgence. I have a love hate relationship with them, because they are processed, not really that good, yet somewhat satisfy the craving and are measurable and semi non bingeable (as opposed to homemade cookies or scones, my former go-to for sweet tooth satisfaction) ***I just discovered and went for a Korean Scrub! Look it up and make it a reward! My skin is baby soft and it was such a unique experience!!***

7/17- 253.4 I like these 10-day chunks. Goal today is water first and drink 90+ oz. ✅
7/18 - 253.2 water first ✅ continues to be the goal for the week
7/19 - 254.0 ✅ I found myself eating whatever because I was tired
7/20 - 254.4 water first, eat more veggies ✅, be mindful - I did eat more veggies but was lax on the water. The salad I ordered from a gourmet food truck (best option) was a small portion and little protein ☹️ As a result, I overate when I got home and was not mindful in my choices.

ROUND 5 FOR ME - Female 58 yrs old 5' 5" Midwest USA Original starting weight 235 on 1/11/18
………We are fierce and so we fight………
Goals: 1. To be an inspiration to my 22 year old Autistic son who started his weight loss journey on May 1, 2018 weighing 308.4 .
2. 3 lb loss to land at 183.0 or less
3. No Bingeing
4. No “cheat days” only “Earn days”. No “Earn Days” only “Earn Meals” which are much easier to bounce back from.
5. 10,000 steps per day. Mixed modes of exercise.
6. Lots of water, green tea daily, apple cider vinegar before carby meals.
7. Check my blood sugar daily for improvements.
My Stats:
R43 SW 193.8 EW 195.6 +1.8 lbs Gain
R44 SW 195.6 EW 192.4 - 3.2 lbs Loss
R45 SW 192.4 EW 191.4 - 1.0 lbs Loss
R46 SW 191.4 EW = 186.0 - 4.4 lbs Loss
R47 SW 186.0 EW = TBD
Day/Weight/Comment
7/17 187.6 From one dish of vanilla icecream? Yikes….. Will likely get worse tomorrow. Today is a business luncheon at the pizza buffet. My diet will be off but I will make this my “earn meal” and do good in the evening. Good luck everyone on this new challenge! My son’s weight yesterday 288.2. He was down 4 more pounds. Fantastic!
7/18 189.6 Wait a minute! I did not eat 2 whole pounds of food at the pizza buffet yesterday! But I did eat 4 small pieces and some water. Also, some sweet snacks at the late night binge. I guess I deserve this giant leap up. I walked over 12,000 steps yesterday including my brisk 1.5 mile neighborhood walk. I intermittent fasted 14:10 due to the luncheon being earlier than I usually begin eating. Lots of fluids. I did a few things right anyway. Today I will stay focused and not get derailed!
7/19 188.2 Yesterday I ate 18 net carbs. 1456 calories . Lots of healthy fats. A little low on protein. 66 oz. of water. No planned exercise but over 10,000 steps on the fitbit. Working my way back down to my starting point of 186.0 then reaching desperately for 183.0. Hope everyone has a good day!
7/20 189.2 last minute night out last night with friends. 1 large beef and bean burrito led to an all night binge. Totally out of control. Ate everything in sight and could not seem to get full or satisfied. This is how it happens if I veer off my diet, even just for a minute. This shows that I still do not have control over my eating habits when presented with foods outside of my home or other completely controlled environments. I have a lot to learn and a long way to go. Hanging my head in frustration, guilt and shame. Good points: 11,713 steps yesterday. My brisk 1.5 mile neighborhood walk.
7/21 188.4 Yesterday 13,746 steps. 13/13 (250 step hours) on fitbit. Rained all day, no neighborhood walk. 963 calories in (a bit too low) 2720 calories out. 23 net carbs . Still feeling sluggish after all the bingeing junk I ate on Thursday. Expecting thunderstorms all day today. Thanks to all for the encouraging words yesterday. The support here on MFP makes a world of difference!

Just starting back on MFP after a year and a half absence where I gained back everything I had lost, sheesh! So I am back to logging my food and happy I am. I am still recovering from an injury so exercise is somewhat limited at the moment to light walking, yoga and easy gardening. I miss those extra exercise calories. Looking forward to getting to know yoou all and sharing the journey to health and fitness.

SW 172.6
GW 166
UGW 125
7/17 --172.4 slightly disappointed, exercised my *kitten* off yesterday. I do, do a lot if weight work so I'm thinking taking my measurements might be a good idea, in case my muscle building effects the scale...don't need the scale to mess with my head. Drank 1.5 liters of water...Still working on it. I think I need to start eating breakfast though, I tend to skip till lunch.
7/18--172.8 super dissapointed. I work out for 2 hours a day, trying to go for three. Like I said yesterday I do a lot with weights so planning to keep it all cardio today...Hopefully I will see a change on the scale. On the bright side I have noticed my clothes aren't as tight, so just trying to keep that in mind. I hate how easy it is to gain but so hard to loose. So frustrating...argggg. 1.25 liters of water yesterday. Also working on eating better...lately I haven't been hungry because of the working out so tend not too eat until late lunch or only at dinner, having about one meal a day. Probably should change this.
7/19--172.2 alright a slight loss, I will take it. Ate good yesterday, had 1.5 liters of water..working on it, exercised all cardio and one weight train so that helped lol. Thinking of trying the clean eating, seems to work well with some people on here.
7/20--173.8 not surprised, I not only had a rest day when it came to exercising, my muscles were so sore from the day before, but I also made home made pizza for the hubby and my younger brothers and although at first I stayed away, I eventually wanted to try a little, which turned into a slice, which turned into desert...brownies. 1 liter of water. Back on track today though and I learnt my lesson. Rest days aren't the right days to side track my diet as well, choose one. I will put in the work today and hopefully this will be gone tomorrow.
7/21--172.4 could have done better last night with my eating, had two biscuits, looking for more nutritional food to eat but otherwise I am happy with my loss. Did less exercising then usual but I at least I got it done so I am satisfied. 1 liter of water. Hoping for more of a loss the next five days *fingers crossed*

About me: 61, 5'7", in maintenance 125-129 since March this year. Serial loser and regainer of 20 and determined not to slide back up this time.
Round 46 report: Not a bad round, some faith-building workouts including more running, and 10-day average weight hits a new low though ending weight was at round's maximum, 127.6
Round 47 GOAL = Maintain weight, get some nice workouts in.
7/17 - 126.4 - yesterday under maintenance calories, got 40 minutes on the elliptical. I prefer the Cybex arctrainers because I can set the resistance low, let go the handles and just run on them. It's a sweatdripper!
7/18 - 125.8 - yesterday a smidge above maintenance calories, 13K steps just messing round (no workout). Slept badly last night and took migraine meds in the early AM, feeling better now but very aware that with a new stress source at work and a poor night's sleep, this could be a day of weak will.
Thinking how I can plan for that and have it feel like I am nurturing myself, not "depriving" myself. Will report tomorrow!
7/19 - 126.0 - Yesterday under maintenance calories and got 10K steps. Holding my own.
7/20 - 125.6 - Yesterday under maintenance calories and got 10K steps. It was a copy and paste day LOL
7/21 - 126.2 - under maintenance calories, ran 3 miles on treadmill, 12K steps total, and I am fighting hard for 23rd on my employer's "10K a Day" leaderboard ... hence all the completed days lately, I just realized I get a bonus every time I hit goal... I tend to value "hard cardio" over just "staying active" so this is kind of new. Taking walks on breaks with a friend at work, that's been nice.

This much drop in a day must be a fluke. We shall see tomorrow. Don’t really see how it can be stable here, so expecting it to stabilize at this weight over the next few days. Worked out yesterday and ate within my goal. Did eat much cleaner and healthier yesterday with lots of water, to balance out Chinese takeout over the weekend. Think I need a day of full rest from workout but let’s see what happens today. Sleep hasn’t been the best, need to make a point to go to bed earlier.
7/18 - 116.4
7/19 - 116.2
Barely 5 hrs of interrupted sleep. Exhausted the entire day. Working out was a struggle, no surprise there. Ate within range.
7/20 - 116.4
Lack of sleep and sore from yesterday’s workout. May be water retention from muscle recovery. I’ll have to wait and see. Getting enough sleep needs to be a priority.

7/17, Tuesday – 162.4
7/18, Wednesday – 162 No gym today, instead going to do some of the digging old beds in the yard. Really want to get them all cleaned up this summer. Still going to get some gym days in but feeling good about the yard will help the overall mood = cut the snacking urges. Persistence pays off.
7/19, Thursday – 161.6 Rushed off to a mtg. last night so finished my supper very late. Conclusion this morning: late eating=poor sleep.
7/20, Friday – 161.4 No late eating … when I felt a craving just thought, “Do I want a good sleep tonight?”
7/21, Saturday – 161.4 Gym yesterday, crazy day for interruptions but did get some things done. When mindless surfing the other day I came across an article on how to get out of a lot of debt. (Why I read it I don’t know as we have no debt.) The thing that hit home with me was, “Start with your smallest debt and get rid of it so you can feel the accomplishment and have momentum to keep going.” I going to use that for my mile long job list today - start with the little things that are bugging me but quick to do. How does that relate to food? If I feel overwhelmed, I eat – not good.

7/17...176...trudging along. Looking forward to a drop in the weight eventually.
7/18...177...😒. Still staying within my means and exercising daily. It's been crazy hot and our ac hasn't been able to keep up so sleeping has been a little difficult. I'm groping around for excuses, it seems. I don't know. I know it'll catch up, but it sure is frustrating when nothing seems to be changing.
7/19...177...it's been crazy hot. Ac is getting fixed today- yay! stayed below my calorie intake yesterday, just barely- but had a shot of whiskey in a little Dr Pepper at the end of the day- a very rare occurrence. Tend to avoid glutinous foods because they give me gut pain but had some last Friday. Wondering if some of this sudden weight gain is inflammation from that.
7/20...174... hmmm. Love the drop but feeling a little skeptical.
7/21...175... hubby is right, it's like that clickery wheel on the price is right- never know where it's going to land. 🙄

7/19 - 159.5 - Family came in, we had pizza and drinks, and I went a little over on my weight loss calories. I'm actually surprised this number is not higher. I'll take it.
7/20 - 160 - Here's the number I was expecting yesterday.
7/21 - 158.5 - I was not expecting this after last night! We had Chinese take out and drinks. I stayed pretty close to weight loss calories, but I thought the sodium would send my weight up. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

7/20 164.6* Trend wt: 165.2* Loss/wk: 0.7**
BMI=24.7 Normal!!
Lowest weight & BMI so far!!
- 63.7 pounds (I had no idea I had this much to lose.) I will reassess when I get to 163 lbs. My doctor says my frame is medium-large. I’m guessing I have ~10 pounds more to lose, but who knows? I’m just taking it slowly. Quite the adventure.
7/21 165.4* Trend wt: 165.0**!! Loss/wk: 0.7**
I was bummed, but expected, that there would be a bounce up, but this is why I LOVE weight Trend apps (Happy Scale-iPhone, Libra-Android). Even at this wt, I have lost 30 Pounds in 30 days AND my Trend wt is lower than actual weight. I felt instantly better. Lowest tend weight yet! #There’sAlwaysSomethingToCelebrate

R1: Lost 1.7 (SW 196.8)
R2: Lost 0.7 (SW 195.1)
SW: 198.1
GW: 192.0 (Steep but I'm going to be losing water weight since I hadn't been watching my diet the past week or so.)
7/17 198.1 I didn't finish the last round. I was upset because I had gained weight and when I do gain weight I just go through a time where I just don't care about what I'm eating. I REALLY want to fix this and be more flexible and just because I have one bad day doesn't mean I should sabotage the rest of my days. On top of that my relatives had come over making it even harder to watch what I ate. So here's to getting back at it.
7/18
7/19- 196.6 thank god the 198 was just a fluctuation. I'm going to try to make sure I don't fluctuate anymore. I did an 18 hour fast today which I broke a little bit ago. I feel pretty full right now so I'm planning on this one big meal to be it for the rest of the day which I think is doable. I'm going to be really consistent the next few days and make sure to stay motivated. I'm going to meal prep and everything.
7/20- 196.7 I accidentally weighed myself AFTER I ate lol so I'd like to think that this number would be lower otherwise. But we'll see tomorrow. I worked out yesterday and again today so I'm happy about that. I've been increasing the amount of running I do (at 6.5 mph) by 10 second increments every time I go for a run. I'm at 3 minutes and 30 seconds of running currently and started at 3 minutes. I know it's not much but baby steps. I believe this is the right way to go about it. Maybe by the end of the challenge I can get to 4 minutes straight of running?
7/21- 194.7 (told you so about the water weight lol) So I worked out yesterday. I can't go to the gym today so no running until Monday but I'm going to try to do my mat exercises at night. I'll let you know how that goes. Already drank a half liter of water. Haven't had a proper breakfast. Going to go ahead and do that right now. I'm going to be under my calorie deficit today hopefully as well so that I can continue the downward trend. Really happy about this number. It motivates me to continue.

7/17 - Tuesday - 195.4 - Feeling strong and fit. It was hot and humid yesterday - I would have laid on the couch in the air conditioning last year. This year I went for a 1 mile walk/hike AND went swimming AND cooked dinner on the grill (well DH did that I just hung around outside). Life is too short not to do those things. Friends are staying the night tonight as a stop over on their trip from FL to ME. Lots of clean up to do before they get there - but I wont go nuts. We have all lived together at one point or another so they already know what my house looks like regularly Nonetheless it will be a late night. Maybe I'll get a movie and eat ice cream while I wait for them, if it fits in my calories - this means probably another walk tonight so I can do that! I brought more meds to work today and remembered my fish oil - those habits had been suffering lately so looking to focus on improving that over the next 10 days. I kept my goal the same as last week but after thinking about it again I would like to be closer to 193 - I've been hanging around 195 for what feels like a while. I'm going to continue to consider that but not change it just yet.
7/18 - Wednesday - No weigh in - OOPS! Totally spaced it this morning. This is not a bad thing though. I was in the moment with friends visiting. For me, it's nice to know I'm not obbsessing over the number. I was also dog tired as they didnt get in until 5AM and I already had my alarm set to wake me at 1AM so sleep was minimal. So that also lead to not packing breakfast or lunch...poor planning on my part. But, I'll make the best of it! A reasonable choice at lunch and lots of water! We should be able to grill up some sausage for dinner and I've got some rice and veg ready to go! It never gets easier, but I'm getting better at figuring it out!
7/19 - Thursday - 194.0 - Well yesterday was great for seeing friends! I picked up salad and pizza and met them at home. It was nice to only work a half day and be able to see them (and nap) - so grateful to have that luxury at work. I was pretty good and ate all my salad first, then a breadstick, and then I had one slice later on. I couldnt resist the temptation of one lonely slice! I did cook dinner at home so that was a win! I almost went out to get ice cream but resisted and had a PB&J roll up instead. Still a treat, but not a 1200 calorie blizzard treat! I was able to rationalize with myself that I already had my "20" treat when I ate that slice of pizza - it was empowering to say I want it, but I'll have it another time. 95 day log in streak today and habits are starting to feel more like part of my lifestyle! And one that I enjoy!!!
7/20 - Friday - 193.4 - Visualized it this morning before getting on the scale! My clothes are feeling looser than ever. I was able to wear my favorite shirt today that had become too small - glad I saved it! Got out for a dog walk last night and made an effort to engage my core. I made it up the big hill easier than I have in a LONG time. I walked at a very brisk pace (my phone informed me) and didnt feel like I was dying after! Such an improvement from the end of winter when I started this loop. I remember walking up the hill saying to myself, "someday it will be easier." Yesterday was that day! My food choices have been leaning towards the comfort food side of things as we make these huge life changing decisions - but I have been mindful of portion sizes so I still enjoy what I'm craving instead of depriving myself of it and then binging. Last night was a risotto. Tonight might be pizza but I'll track it and be mindful! I'm trying to eat what we have in the house so we're not grocery shopping and then moving it all. Plans to do some closet purging this weekend to get a head start on packing! Happy Friday everyone!
7/21 - Saturday - 193.8 - early day to pick up our first tractor! Busy busy until just now. Ate whatever I could get my hands on thru out the day. Also did a dog walk and bath. Pooped. Tomorrow will be another busy day so I'm calling it quits for the most part today. Dinner will be raviolis because....because. I really would like to get some stuff thrown out tomorrow among other Sunday chores. I'm rambling. Bye!

Away again for a few days this round for sons wedding up in Yorkshire but intend to do my best and eat as well as I can as off on holiday in just over two weeks
Round goal by next Thursday is to finish in the 135's to stay on track to reach 133 by my holiday.......
07/17 - 135.80lb (-0.80lb). Happy happy happy I've been properly focused recently and this is the result. Guess its the thought of my holiday, wearing shorts and being on the beach - and I don't want to scare of the locals! My goal for the round was 135 something - so there already but am away over the weekend again so looking to still be here (but will happily take and will aim for a bit lower!) when the round ends..... 134 something ?
07/18 -134.50lb (-1.30lb) - no idea where this large drop has come from but happy to take it - especially as its probably my lowest weight for many years - probably pre my wedding 18 years ago! Did have a tough gym session last night - HiiT and then treadmill cardio interval training - so maybe must water loss ? Either way, happy today so definitely keeps me motivated
07/19 - 134.60lb (+0.1lb) technically up but given the massive drop the last couple of days I am more than ok with this and to be honest will be happy to settle around here by rounds end Another good food day planned, gym tonight followed by hubbys home made burger - yummy!
07/20 - 135.30 (+0.70lb) Not sure - food was all good and in calorie allowance so can only blame my husband as he made the burgers last night which were a carb heavier dinner than I normally have However am not upset or discouraged as still 1.3lb down from the start of the round
07/21 - 135.40lb (+0.1lb) - seem to have stabilised round here for a bit which is all good with me! Off away again tomorrow morning for sons wedding in Yorkshire so a few days ahead that I need to make sure I remotely stay in control as off on hols in under two weeks

7/17 - didnt measure today! Feeling good and making heathy food choices. Will be busy for a full gym class. but planning some bodyweight/yoga stretching at home
7/18 - 191.6 lb - down some since holding around 193 for the past several months, yay! Consistency is key for me, duh
7/19 - 191.4 lb - nice surprise after eating almost 1000 extra cals yesterday I did also try barre class for the 1st time (yay) and took a longer walk, so the heavy lunch was partially burned off at least. Better planning and leftovers for lunch will help stay on track today
7/20 - 191.2 lb - ate a huge dinner going out with friends, so must be dehydrated lol. I feel sluggish from the extra food &grease.. keeping that in mind with goals to eat within calories and hit the gym today
7/21 -191 lb -yay! Went for a mich-needed nap bike ride instead of the gym in Friday night. Staying focused this weekend too

17: 200.0...I missed last round and most of round 45. Gained several pounds from my lowest point from R45 and lost some of it in the last few days. Looking forward to being more focused again for the whole round, as we leave for our 10-day family vacation on the 25th.
18: 199.8
19: 200.5... Snacked in front of the TV with my kids last night. Not a helpful choice, but thankfully it's a rare occasion for us.
20: Didn't weigh
21: 201.2... I'm not feeling very focused. Pretty sure I have a mild concussion. Called the ER, and the nurse said to come in if my symptoms get worse. I did pretty good with food today. Although, I ate about an hour after my IF fasting time. I wasn't particularly hungry but wanted to avoid late night eating that might ensue if I skipped dinner. Finished the day about 30 calories over, but I'm ok with that since I made good food choices.

7/21 Tried to replace protein smoothie instead of eating bread, my diet is really hard being on steroids I really have to watch my food choices. Walking helps, 13,600 steps. Going to try to exercise more and try to get some yoga in too.

Feeling quite frustrated with these bumps, I need to just dig deep, stick with it and wait for the scales to start behaving again! - Looking for a downward trend to see out this round now! Really focused on my logging and on clean eating - which is what i love - it gives me ENERGY!
I am SO SO determined!! I 100% NEED to stay mindful about my daily logging and being mindful about what I eat and drink. I need to get into the HEALTHY BMI band.
This is a long term thing, a few bad days or weeks is something I'm getting better at coping with.9 -

7/18: 178.0!!!!! AWESOME!!!!! Walked a lot yesterday and today as well. Nutrition still shaky.
7/19: 179.2 Hmmmm….
7/20: 180.0 So, I was thinking about the show, My 600-lb Life, and how irritated I become when the people refuse to stick to the eating plan or refuse to exercise. And then I had an epiphany. OMG – I am them. This is my fifth round and I’ve only lost 6-ish pounds (it was 8 a couple of days ago, but here I am). I convince myself that eating utter garbage, food-like substances is ok as long as I’m within goal. Or I exercise enough to cover the overage. Honestly, WHEN will I learn. What would Dr. Now say? I imagine people throwing things at their screens and sighing in disgust if I was on some kind of weight loss show. Where do I get the nerve to judge other people when I have not mastered the seemingly simple task of eating well and moving more? Time to smarten up!!! But will I … stay tuned!!!
7/21 180.4 – Wrong direction, Mr. Scale!!! Ate relatively well today and managed to get in my 10,000ish steps. Hope the scale takes that into consideration in the morning.
