Day/Weight/Comment
7/17: 70.7 - Can you actually not. Good day yesterday, ate reasonably well and had a good 90 minutes of Judo in the evening. Someone bought cake into the office, so that piece of fruit missed out in favour of a smallish slice of cake. With no scales I have no idea how heavy it was, so I had to guesstimate. Probably wasn't the best choice, but I've not had cake for ages and it didn't half taste goood. Still in deficit, weight trend is still generally downwards for the last two weeks (and level for the last week). Got to trust the deficit and not get disheartened by the number on the scale.
7/18: 70.3 - Finally going back in the right direction! Spent all day yesterday feeling super boated and hungry. Was a massive trial to not go completely over. Ate a largish, bready breakfast which completely messed me up for the rest of the day (because fresh bread is hard to log so I had to do my best estimate). Standard lunch (although I dropped and stepped on one of my strawberries
). And scraped it back to a sensible day with a veg heavy pasta dish for tea. 69g of protein for the day
7/19: 69.8 - Yaaaas. Got around to properly logging my lunch (as opposed to using my "generic salad" entry). Turns out I've been eating much less than I thought I was, no wonder I was so hungry at lunch! Tried a new chocolate protein bar as a snack at work. Not great on the calories, but really stays the hunger pangs and still kept below my calories for the day (even with the pizza and garlic bread dinner). 70g of protein for the day (bang on!)
7/20: 70.5 - Tired and lazy all day. Ate takeaway for dinner and completely blew my calories for the day. No calories listing for the takeaway so had to guess with the entries on the database. Probably way out in every way. Just hoping that the calories weren't as high as I logged them at (probably wishful thinking). Not surprised with the weigh in amount. 147g of protein for the day.
7/21: 70.5 - Didn't make it to training in the evening, felt way too tired. Calories good though. 65g of protein for the day.
7/22: 70.5 - Worked it out, probably spent about 7 hours on the Judo mat, half training, half teaching. Completely dead by the end of the day. 67g of protein for the day.
7/23: 70.5 - More time on the Judo mat today (about 4 hours), mostly teaching though. Still completely shattered. Also, seem to have hit a sticking point. I've always had some daily fluctuations, so this sudden stationary stop seems really odd to me. I did weigh myself in the evening to test if my scales did weigh different (they did), so I don't know what's happening right now. On the bright side, NSV are showing up in abundance right now. Down 1 inch on the waist, skirt that was always a little big (but recently fitted really well) is a little too big again, tried on that figure hugging long silver dress, and it didn't look awful. Yeah, definitely going in the right direction. 66g of protein for the day.
7/24: 70.1 - Right, finally. If I saw 70.5 again I think I would've thrown the scales out of the window. An okay day yesterday. Was so hungry at lunch and ended up eating both halves of my protein bar except for one (oops), and then felt uncomfortably full as a result. When will I ever learn. Breakfast and lunch were a little higher than normal, and dinner was really quite high (won't be buying that brand of pizza again) however I then did (yet) another judo session in the evening, so stayed within my target for the day. 82g of protein for the day.

7/17 - 182.8 lbs Off to a great start! Been going really slow for 2 months, and this is the first time that it speeds up a bit again. May it last all the way to the finish line hahah. I know it's not a race, but it's important to have some fun along the way 😂
7/18 - 181.6 lbs Woosh! wow, this is great! Haven’t been doing anything differently foodwise. Can’t wait to finally see the 170 number.
7/19 - 180.8 lbs Woooho! I’m just really enjoying this. I have felt so uncertain for 2 months, because weight loss has been going sooo slow.. But I think I’m the type of person that drop a lot of weight, then it pauses, then it drops again.
7/20 - 179.8 lbs. Byebye 180! Going out to enjoy the sun today ☀️ Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
7/21 - 179.4 lbs
7/22 - 180.0 lbs Oops 🙈 Didn’t go over my calorie goal, but I ate reeeally late last night.. I think I ate my last meal at around 1 AM. Usually stop eating after 8 PM. Thinking that this has something to do with the sudden gain. Hopefully I will never see you again after this week 180 😂
7/23 - 179.0 lbs Bye again 180 😂 Stay away for good now.

7/17 - 159.5 - Nice start to the round. We've got out of town family coming in to stay with us tomorrow for 10 days. I hope I'm able to at least maintain this weight.
7/18 - 160 - I guess I'm going to hang around here for a while.
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.
7/22 - 158.5 - It's nice to see this number again.
7/23 - 158.5 - I was a little hungover yesterday and barely had any steps for the day. I stuck to my weight loss calories though. If I can finish this round at this weight I'll be happy.
7/24 - 159 - I was really good yesterday. No drinks, plenty of water, I guess the weekend caught up with me.

7/17 184.2 bad start to my week calories wise, but I did workout, I did day 5 of the 30 day shred, and although I haven't worked out 5 days consistently im at least working out. I need to do better.
7/18 I83.4 I didnt workout yesterday nor this morning I just felt so tired and slept through. Last week I started good like I always do but then the 2nd week comes and I drag, I'm not watching what I eat as much but I'm still trying to work out in the afternoon,at least it helps me stay the same, but that's not why I'm here. IM HERE TO LOOSE THE WEIGHT. I'm going to prep for the rest of the week, because the next 2 weekends I'm going out of town. I have to at least be under 180.
7/19 183.6 a little disappointed but not really, this is to wake me up, that I need to get back on the ball. I'm supposed to be at 182 by now, I just need to keep moving don't give up.
7/20 183.0 that's more like it, now to continue to go down, and on the weekend of all days smh this is going to be hard. First I didnt workout this morning, and I don't know if I'm going to be able to workout tonight. Then tomorrow I work in the morning, so I can't go running, I'm thinking of coming back home and working out. But then we are doing a cookout of steaks that night. Sunday we are going to a friends house who is doing brisket ribs and chicken, omg my weekend is full of food. I have to find a way to workout if I will be able to eat without gaining any of it back.
7/21 182.6 yay so happy but scared please help me keep it off, I'm so close to my mini goal of 179
7/22 182.8 uhm ok ate really bad but did 30 day shed level 1 so not bad, but I still have today to worry about and I can't go running smh, really going to watch my portions ok n sizes.
7/23 184.2 awh man kinda waiting for this to go up but wasn't expecting it to be so high. I feel like I'm starting all over again for this week 😔
7/24 183.4 better way better, I know I should of worked out yesterday morning but I just couldn't my stomach was already starting to hurt. But I did do my 30 day shred, I actually started level 2 👍 I've done the 10 days of level 1 maybe not consistently but at least I did them now and I'm on to the next level. I'll get to were I want to be this is a stepping stone gotta let it happen, just shouldn't let it bring me down. Keep moving you got this. Nobody said this would be easy. OMG I had to do a video for work and I hated it, I look huge so disappointed in myself. But I know that only I can change myself. #never give up

Day/Weight/Comment
•7/17- 190.6 - Expected. All of my food yesterday was eaten in one hour last night. I was not doing OMAD, just didn't eat all day. This is a week about others and not me. Helping DIL with decorating for Granddaughter's 5th B'day party. That means I'm crafting decorations until 12m - 1am nightly. Yesterday and today helping my niece, who is like a daughter to me, set up her kitchen in her new house.
Next week I'm sure I'll be helping her with some other things as she and her family settle in. 45g carbs, 36g net carbs. Cauliflower and cheddar cheese soup, 2 cups!, salad greens, strawberries with almond butter and whipped cream, again.
•7/18 -190.2 - Early weigh in. Tired. Retaining fluid. Much to do for this b'day party, so full court press is on. 40g carbs, 32g net carbs. Peanut butter, salad, spinach, celery & apple in chicken salad. Too much coffee yesterday.
I want coffee now. 
•7/19 - 190.2 at 8:30am. 191.8 at 5:30am. Retaining fluid. 42g carbs, 26g net carbs. Lettuce, whole roma tomato, jalapeno slices, low carb flatbread, peanut butter.
•7/20 190 - Early weigh in. Surprised it's not more, since I had only 5 hours of broken sleep. Active mind, don't want to forget to take any decoration elements for DGD's party. Saturday at 2pm it will all over. Salad, pistachios and peanut butter. 44g carbs, 34g net carbs. Pistachios are VERY CARBY.
•7/21 - No weigh in. - Not much food yesterday, but a lot of extra calories over maintenance. Did not sleep all night. Stayed up decorating for party, fueled by peanut butter. 51g carbs, 46g net carbs. Peanut butter, broccoli slaw, poppyseed salad dressing.
•7/22 - 189.4 - Yesterday was B'day party day. Really surprised about the weight, not surprised about the carb count. Well, I'll see what tomorrow brings. I prepared my own food for yesterday and took it with me, but the outdoor mermaid party had to be indoors due to the pouring rain.
▪17 children and probably that same number of adults in the house. It was easier to just eat the food in front of me. The bread was to fill me up and before eating it, I made up my mind to accept the consequences for it. Now my baby is "officially" 5. Her birthday was days ago, but she told me then that she's not five until she blows out her candles. Lol. ▪187g carbs, 179g net carbs. Sandwich roll (2), potato chips (about 1/4 cup of broken pieces), cheese curls (2) and cupcake. Frozen fruit, tomato, lettuce. Totally exhausted. Peanut butter and sleep after returning home.
•7/23 - 190.2 - Early weigh in. I can still feel the tiredness through my body.
45g carbs, 37g net carbs. Fresh peach, cottage cheese, salad, salsa, peanut butter.
•7/24 - 188.2 - Early weigh in. 46g carbs, 34g net carbs. Spaghetti squash, salad, salsa, peanut butter, marinara sauce, watermelon, guacamole.

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.

7/17: 333.0 (Corrected typo from yesterday)
7/18: 331.2
7/19: 327.6 Well, I never expected that to happen. Incredibly surprised! Did well on my breakfast and lunch,
dinner not so much. I was so mentally and physically tired that I stopped at Wendy's on the way
home. Knew it was the wrong thing to do. I do this all the time--too tired to fix a meal so I stop for
fast food. This is where my trouble always starts. So, now that I have identified my major problem, I
have to work on the solution. After some research last night, I think meal prep on the weekend for the work
week will do wonders for me. I don't have to worry about "what to do" for dinner after a stressful day
at work. I can just come home and pop it in the oven/microwave and there I go! I will say the one
thing that is working for me is drinking water. It has gotten a lot easier to drink so much of it as
long as I put some limes in it.
7/20: 327.6 Well, no loss but I’ll take it. Did have pasta for dinner and I love my pasta! Need to work on portion size though.
7/21: 327.8 Pasta again. Love my pasta, but need to be more disciplined when it comes to portion size.
7/22: 326.8 Did really well today. Made good food choices. Need to keep with this trend.
7/23: 326.8 I’m happy about this weigh-in. Good weekend—went out with friends to a “MaryPoppins”themed tea party and then out to eat with family. Made smart choices, so I’m satisfied. Starting exercise today. See how that plays into the next weigh-in.
7/24: 326.8 First time back at the gym went pretty well. Went slow so I wouldn’t risk injury by doing too much too fast. Felt good afterwards. Then towards evening it hit me. My body screaming at me, “WHAT DID YOU DO?!!” 🤣😂 The soreness has eased up this morning. Just have to remember that it will get better. The more exercise I do, the better I’ll feel.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/17 - 148.6 - I wasn't feeling very well at the end of last round and just starting to feel better today so my weight might be off for a few days until I'm eating normally again. Would love this number to stick around right through the next 10 days though.
7/18 - 150.0 - Not worried about the weight increase, I'm still in a downward trend but feeling just an overall "blah" with life in general right now. Need to find a way to get out of this weird funk I'm in.
7/19 - 148.8 - I guess I'm back here again, alright. Maybe it'll stay this time.
7/20 - 148.0 -
7/21 - 148.4 - normal fluctuation... food and water were good yesterday. No worries here.
7/22 - 148.4 - holding steady
7/23 - 148.4 - With such a big drop at the very beginning I'm ok with hanging out at this weight for a few days. This week is going to be crazy as I'll be running around like a mad woman trying to pack for 4 people for a week vacation. Leaving Saturday, this momma can't wait to sit on the beach and actually be ok with my body in my suit.
7/24 - 148.4 - I haven't worked out in over a week just haven't been motivated but worked out for 45 minutes last night and it felt so good, scheduled a work out for this afternoon and planning on keeping it, got to bring the motivation back. I believe I'm slowly coming out of this weird funk I've been in and getting back to myself.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/17- 228.2 Yay! I thought for sure that I would have a bump today. I guess walking all day countered the two eating out meals today. I’m seeing a trend where my beginning and end rounds are great (barring poor food choices and/or not enough water). Bumps tend to be towards the middle of the round. Learning lots about myself.
7/18- 227.4 Beyond stoked!
7/19- 226.8 Sixth consecutive day logging a loss. Doing very well this round. Not doing anything differently than last round so I don’t know why that is but I will take it.
7/20- 226.4 Fully anticipated a bump given I was snacking a bit here and there yesterday. Also seemed extra thirsty this morning. May see it catch up to me I’m the coming days and I’m okay with that.
7/21- 226.6 There it is. Need to push water. Triple digits outside next few days. Eek.
7/22- 227.4 weekend + not enough water + pizza for dinner = recipe for mid-round bump. Bummer.
7/23- 227.6 I know I said I’d be okay seeing a bump but I’m not. Morale is slipping. Trying to stay positive. Weekdays are where most loss happens. Have to be extra careful as I’ll be traveling this weekend to my in-laws. My MIL is the best baker and her love language is FOOD.
7/24- 226.8 Headed back down. Fingers crossed it continues down to the end of round.

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*
7/22--172 did well yesterday, got in my exercising ate pretty good for breakfast and dinner but couldn't help the snacking throughout the day...oops. Lol no LNE which was hard because I found myself starving around 10 30, i will take it as a win. 1.5 liters of water. Hoping to be out of the 170s by the end of this. Argggg.
7/23--171.8 ate tons of veggies and stuck to my calorie goals. Didn't exercise at all, had a lazy day but I know that will change today, I will get back into it. Last week I had two workout days off (one for soreness so I will let it go) this week I only want to have one. Drank 1 liter of water, really need to up that. Took my measurements at the beginning of the ten days and will do it again at the end of these ten days, I have a feeling I'm loosing inches faster then weight.
Have a great week everyone
7/24-- 171.4 did a great work out yesterday, was so happy. Some days I work out and think "why am I doing this?" and it really makes working out suck, especially the day after when I'm sore and end up procrastinating the next workout ...but yesterday was amazing. I was totally in the zone and kept pushing the boundaries, it was one of those energy filled days where I felt like I could keep going and never stop. It was amazing!!! I love days like that, technically it's the only reason I always go back to working out. I ate good yesterday, had the opportunity to indulge in some chocolatey treats but decided on a bowl of veggies, the only issue was it was at 10 30....oops. 1.5 liters of water....argggg really need to focus. My only issue is eating more. I need to focus on getting more food in threw out the day and not jam pack my calories at dinner. Lately I have been only pulling 800 calorie days which I think is the reason I'm not loosing weight faster. It's a learning process

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!
7/22 - Sunday - 194.8 - Another early day to get tractor attachments. Basically drove all day long. Made sure to have smoothie before leaving yesterday. BK for lunch but just the sandwich, and water. Managed to get to the grocery store with a small list and stick to it. Cleaned the kitchen. DH made country fried steak for dinner. Ben and Jerrys for dessert - stayed within 1 serving size! I put a few things in a trash bag to donate late last night. I really wanted to get some form of moving done, so I did one small thing to at least say I started...it's going to be a lot of work!
7/23 - Monday - 194.6 - I think this might be the first time ever I've seen the scale go down on a Monday? My weekend diary does not look pretty - but honestly I'm proud of it. I ate a bunch of things I normally would have over indulged on. But I ate the correct portion sizes! I stayed around maintenance each day without prelogging, or tracking (I logged everything the day after, and even considered not logging it at all because I was embarassed!) I ate my protein shake again this morning - I NEED that extra protein in the morning but I'm usually not hungry. So I pared it back to just 1 cup of flax milk and 1 scoop, no extra milk or berries. Lunch is packed for today and I WILL cook dinner at home. Groupon for local mexican place is what I'm looking forward to on Friday! I think I will keep my goal as it is in writing but I'm going to visualize 193.6!
7/24 - Tuesday - 194.0 - Wooooo 100 days! I woke up feeling accomplished for what I thought was no reason but 100 days is an achievement! Waiting to hear back on the appraisal is a good test in stress management...been staying busy with house work to avoid obsessing - but still have not made a real dent in packing/moving anything. Will prioritize that soon. Had my protein shake this morning - packed lunches and took out steak tips to grill for dinner with sauteed broccoli and jasmine rice. Feeling super positive about how my habits are holding up. I'm finding success in each and every day, even when I'm not "perfect" - whatever that is!

7/17--177.2 Going back down. It was sooo hard to lose these few pounds, apparently I wanted to do it all over again
They came back on over a few days of getting off track, so hopefully they will go away just as quickly. Fingers crossed!
7/18--176.0 Keep it going...
7/19--175.0 Excellent! I'm happy to know that a handful of bad days isn't going to totally wreck my progress, it's just taking me the same amount of days to recover, and that's okay. Today might be hard; I barely slept last night. I just have a lot of things on my mind coupled with going to bed hungry. I don't make a habit of this but darn it, I was already over my calories and stubbornly didn't want to eat more, so I went to bed. Well, I was hungry all night and I am sooo hungry this morning! Hopefully a good dose of protein will do the trick. Pilates class tonight.
7/20--174.8 Woohoo!
7/21--176.0
7/22--No weigh in; we took an impromptu weekend road trip, so I might be paying for that on the scale for the next couple of days. It was fun though!

This morning I bought a protein bar called 'protein blast' it has about 20 grams of protein in it. I usually don't buy or eat protein bars and I wasn't sure if it's something to eat in one day (maybe cut into 2) or if I should cut it in half and eat one half today and another half tom. It seems like a lot for a 28 year old female, maybe something more for a male body then a female body. If anyone could maybe give me some suggestions on protein bars that are more suitable for women or is this normal in a protein bars? ...also if it is ok to eat the whole thing in one day.1

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 😊
7/22- 173 Last night when I completed my food/exercise diary for the day, said I would be at 164.6 in 5 weeks if every day was the same! Awesome
7/23- 173 My scale said 171 when I first stepped on it and then I stepped on it again it was 173. (Really need new ones lol) I was actually a good bit under my calorie goal yesterday, not purposely. Started zumba last night also!
7/24- 172 😊 I really need to work on balancing my calories out more, like not eating so many at dinner time. That is where half my calories get used and more sometimes. I am still staying under my goal though.

7/17 179.4 I’m down two pounds since my last start which is great, because I was really bummed about the weight I was at post-vacation. I’ve been working hard to stay under calories and I know that I need to try to drink more water.
7/18 179.8/ I went out last night and didn’t eat too much but I’m sure it had a ton of salt in it. I’m spending tonight at home after a walk after work.
7/19 178.0/ Weigh-in Day for MFP! I’m less than 2 pounds away from where I was before I went on vacation. I’ve been really good about calories.
7/20 177.0/ Even closer! The lowest I’ve logged in the last 30 days was 176.6. I’m hoping to get back there by next Thursday when I weigh-in again.
7/21 181.2/
7/22 183.6/ I must be retaining a lot of water today
7/23 180.2/ I’m still retaining a lot of water. I drank 9 cups of water yesterday but my rings are still feeling really right today.
7/24 178.8/ I drank 11 glasses of water yesterday and plan to power through just as many today. I’m hoping to log below 178.0 for Thursday when I do my weekly weigh-in for MFP.

1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
Round 47 - goal – loose some of the weight I have gained at parties and entertaining. Skip maintenance and truly put in effort this round. Its just 10 days, right?
7/16 weight 194lbs
7/17 – 192lbs – 2-pound loss is probably just an empty stomach.
7/18 – 194lbs – 2 pounds up - ate good yesterday. Guess this is just what happens when you weigh yourself all the time. I saw it coming last night when I weighed 198 before bed.
7/19 – 192lbs – kinda a good day yesterday. Had Chinese buffet for lunch and almost no dinner. Felt no hunger.
7/20 – whoops
7/21 – openhouse with awesome pasta bar. To go along with homebrew. Had so much food and adult beverages.
7/22 – working long and hard today. ate breakfast with wife, had 4 hot dogs, big filet of smoked lake trout, and had my homemade bbq ribs for dinner.
7/23 – 192lbs – considering the food choices this weekend I am very happy to maintain this weight. Had lots of people asking how and what I did to lose weight so quickly. I wasn’t allowed to answer because My wife says it was too fast and I shouldn’t tell people. Still I loved the comments and seeing the look on peoples faces. I still say maintenance is harder for me then losing weight.
7/24 – 193lbs – ate kinda good yesterday. Super low cal all day long to be ready for the food at the fair. Red neck fries were awesome. I think the jar of pickles for lunch is why I am up slightly.

7/17 - 159.5 - Nice start to the round. We've got out of town family coming in to stay with us tomorrow for 10 days. I hope I'm able to at least maintain this weight.
7/18 - 160 - I guess I'm going to hang around here for a while.
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.
7/22 - 158.5 - It's nice to see this number again.
7/23 - 158.5 - I was a little hungover yesterday and barely had any steps for the day. I stuck to my weight loss calories though. If I can finish this round at this weight I'll be happy.
7/24 - 159 - I was really good yesterday. No drinks, plenty of water, I guess the weekend caught up with me.

Round 47 Goal: -2
Day/Weight/Comment
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.
7/21 - 255.2 water first, veggies
7/22 - 253.6 yesterday, I wasn’t mindful at all - super lazy - today I’m prepping for a better week
7/23 - 253.0 drink water water water. ✅
7/24 - 252.0 yesterday, made healthy choices, took Mom out for Chinese on her birthday and I kept my portion in check - ate lots of broccoli and drank lots of water. Today’s goal - still water!

I usually don't buy or eat protein bars and I wasn't sure if it's something to eat in one day (maybe cut into 2) or if I should cut it in half and eat one half today and another half tom. It seems like a lot for a 28 year old female, maybe something more for a male body then a female body. If anyone could maybe give me some suggestions on protein bars that are more suitable for women or is this normal in a protein bars? ...also if it is ok to eat the whole thing in one day.
I have a love/hate with protein bars, there are some good tasting ones out there that trigger my wanting another. I am sure there are opinions both ways as far as how much protein they have, but most bars I get have 14-20 grams. The yummy ones I eat a whole one, could not restrain to half, and honestly the only reason I eat them is because they taste like a treat. If I am just looking to boost my protein without a "craving" for something chewy/sweet/crunchy I usually choose siggi's yogurt (15g) or some scrambled egg whites or leftover grilled chicken breast.
To answer your question though, in my opinion it's ok to eat the whole thing, but based on my experience be cautious if you like them because for me they are a trigger food. This is a topic I'd love to hear the group's input on also...2 -

7/20: 165.8
7/21: 166.0/Had to wait all day to get my run in, but I did it. Got up this morning and ran in the misty rain. Feeling accomplished. Tomorrow I won’t have access to a scale.
7/22: no scale
7/23: 164.4/Surprise, sort of. I went to visit my mom and got a run in. Did very well with eating goals while surrounded by all my favorites(doughnuts, cheese, desserts, cocktails), but I might have pushed it too far. Felt terrible last night and had difficultly falling asleep. Rest day today.
7/24: 164.6/Yesterday was a struggle to keep on track. I was so hungry, nothing could satisfy me and just moody. I did stick to my goals and got a run in this morning. Today is a new day.7
