This is a major boost since I have been finding all the stalls and sometimes days or weeks of not moving mentally challenging. I have learned that these are my biggest triggers to making poor food choices (which is ironic, right?)
WOOP! WTG! @eminater I know that reaching that 50 lb mark is an awesome feeling.
Wow!! Congratulations @eminater!!! You GOT this!!!

Day/Weight/Comment
7/17: 179.8: Back up and well deserved!!!
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.
7/22 180.2 – Very slight downward movement. Hoped for a teeny bit more but I’ll take what the scale gods have to offer. Some much needed rain for the grass today. Temptation is great to be super lazy but will work on getting at least 10,000 steps today.
7/23 179.0
7/24 179.6 Off the rails eating today.
7/25 Did not weigh. Could not bring myself to face the scale. Another bad eating day. I am such an emotional eater.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
7/17 134.0 Happily maintaining below 135. We didn’t eat until almost 5 so yesterday was a one meal day. My first keto-versary 167.5 to 134 in one year by changing to the ketogenic way of eating with no exercise.
7/18 132.5 DH, DD#2 & grandkids x3 were supposed to go 6 Flags in Missouri but DH has done something to his neck. He and I have no car here so no one left and kids will miss 6 Flags.(My diagnosis is pinched nerve which was tentatively confirmed by Urgent Care doc)
7/19 132.0 DD#2 just texted they are on the way. Two kids have to fly back to Las Vegas tonight because their mother won’t allow them to do something extra with our daughter. Family reunion is Saturday in southern Illinois. Now DH and I will be able to attend DHD#1’s graduation party on Saturday.
7/20 133.0 Had dinner late (waiting for DD#1 who is a nurse) at Cici’s. Pizza in a bowl, no crust. An interesting video I saw yesterday — https://www.facebook.com/JamesSmithPT/videos/
7/21 132.5
7/22 133.0 Yesterday we celebrated our granddaughter who graduated on Tuesday from the Women in Recovery program. I ate a small piece of cake but everything else I had was within my plan.
7/23 133.0
7/24 133.5. I need some bathroom time! Traveling home the next two days.
7/25 No scale traveling. Woke up with a headache and decided it is a migraine. I haven’t had one in over a year and I don’t seem to be able to shake it. We arrived home early this evening. YAY!

Round 47
SW: 74kg May 2018
UGW: 62kg Oct/Nov 2018
*Analogue scales*
7/17 72.5kg - yesterday's 74 was just a weekend souvenir, but this round it is time to get serious, been around the 72-74kg mark too long!
7/18 73kg TOM
7/19 not weighed, at home sick. Not done too badly on calories, despite eating pizza for dinner, but managed to go for a walk
7/20 73kg ugh so annoyed, another day at home and no workout. Will go for a walk laterand hopefully fit for the gym or a run tomorrow
7/21 73kg - not happy, but spent all day home on the sofa again, still unwell. While i didn't eat the best stuff, i did count and didn't completely mess up. Will see if I feel up for a walk today, definitely no gym or run yet!
7/22 73kg - will be going for sunday roast, so Monday will be yet another new start
7/23 74 - no surprise after yesterday. And then didn't make it to my class because I worked late
7/24 73.5kg okay, right direction again, went for a run afterwards and did my exercises. Back on track
7/25 73kg, yes, despite a lot of food yesterday, i'm going thw right way again!
7/26 73kg so this round didn't quite go the way i wanted, but I did finish week 1 of 5-10k. Onto round 48!9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/17 - 158.8 - I just found the challenge and didn't make the best choices earlier today for lunch. Time to move on and do better!
7/18 - 155 - Not a real loss from yesterday, just weighed in the morning and will continue to do that for the rest of the challenge. Finished strong yesterday with some time on the elliptical and then weights. It felt great! 12,042 steps yesterday and made it into bed by 11.
7/19 - 155 - Exercised, ate within my range, and hit nearly 15,000 steps yesterday. Had to choose between getting to bed by 11 or exercise yesterday, and think that getting the workout in was the right choice. Feeling good. Well, actually feeling motivated since I've been lifting weights in front of a big window that acts like a mirror at night (So that's how I look in exercise gear??). It's a little unpleasant and bewildering since the full-length mirror part of my day is normally kept to the bare minimum.
7/20 - 154 - With an active day (puppy's first visit to the huge dog park near our home) and exercise, I hit nearly 17,000 steps yesterday. Bought some new clothes. I wanted to wait until I'd dropped a few pounds, but, at this weight, I was really asking too much of the old ones. It's quite nice to be wearing pants that fit today where the buttons aren't just barely hanging on for dear life. Only ate when hungry and had a good day.
7/21 - 154 - 11,000 steps, a bike ride and in bed by 11 yesterday. Had a special dinner that wasn’t healthy, but it was delicious. Tracked it all, skipped dessert and opted for that bike ride instead.
7/22 - 154 - Missed getting this posted over the weekend. Just hit 10,000 steps, but didn't have the tracker on until 5 pm, so not too shabby. Another lovely bike ride with my son, plus we lifted weights together. So cute - although I'm not sure he'd buy into me calling him cute. I got an Olympic barbell as a gift, so adding that in with the dumbbells and having fun with that.
7/23 - 153 - Over 19,000 steps! I wasn't paying close attention when tracking my time on the elliptical Saturday and entered it after midnight so it showed up on Sunday. Man, was I tired after a day of house projects and yard work, but that elliptical session was already sitting there on my log, so I felt like I had to just do it! I pushed through and felt great this morning, although I was far from making my 11 pm bedtime goal.
7/24 - 153 (weighing in the evening on that same scale that had me at 158.8 on 7/17!) - 12,000 steps and stayed up too late yesterday. Was feeling worn out so skipped the weight lifting after the elliptical last night. With the tiny weights I'm lifting, I didn't think I'd need a rest day, but my body said something different. Feeling better today and plan to be back at it again tonight.
7/25 -153 - 12,000 steps. Feeling good about exercising and tracking for 10 days! This challenge has helped me stick to it.

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
07/22 - 134.50lb (-0.9lb) Glad I had a quick weigh in this morning now. Just the next few days of hotel breakfasts, meals out and wedding food to get through! But at this weight will feel happy in my dress
07/23 - No weigh - Away - sons wedding
07/24 - No weigh - Away - sons wedding
07/25 - no weigh - but back home and straight back to eating normally! Magpie fish and chips in Whitby, full wedding breakfast and evening buffet, hotel breakfasts ..... ouch! Will weigh in tomorrow to finish the round but then full on attack until next Thursday as then off on my holidays for a couple of weeks ..... So want to get to 133 before I go.....
07/26 - 138.40lb which looks hideous but I know its a result of what I ate at the weekend rather than the amount and a reduced water intake. Feel bloated today as a result of it plus TOM so I know this weight won't hang around for long. Looking forward to round 48

Previous rounds: R39 SW: 196.2 lbs EW: 190.7 lbs (-5.5)
R46 SW: 185.8 lbs EW: 183.4 lbs (-2.4)
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.
7/24 - 179.4 lbs
7/25 - 178.8 lbs
7/26 - 178.6 lbs This has been a really good round for me 😃 The scale is finally moving again. Betting it’ll slow down a bit now. We’ll see in round 48

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.
7/25: (forgot to weigh) - Actually that's a lie, I did weigh, but only after I got dressed and I was running late so I didn't have time to get undressed to get a proper weigh. It read 71.3 I think, but I was wearing jeans and they're probably at least 0.8 or so. Doesn't matter. Anyway: Really bad day yesterday. Bottomless stomach day which would not be satisfied. I can also tell that I shouldn't go food shopping on these days because I don't normally buy cakes. I bought cakes. Quite a lot of cakes. Not the best situation. On the bright side I think I've only cancelled out my calorie deficit from Monday so shouldn't have completely derailed my week. Thinking positively I'm getting back onto it today and concentrating on filling myself up with low calorie dense foods for today. 80g of protein for the day (turns out it easy to hit my protein goal when I massively overeat for the day)
7/26: 70.3 - Naah, I'm happy with that. Busy day yesterday, finally got back into making my lunch and sorted myself out after the hectic weekend (yeah I know, Wednesday). Actually stayed within my calories and spent all evening doing diy so fairly active evening. Reasonable number of steps too so all in a fairly active day. 69g of protein for the day
10 Day Round Up:
- Down 0.2kg. Not as much as I'd like, but a downward trend is a downward trend.
- I really struggled in sections of this round, and went over my upper calories a couple of times and wanted to more. I think that hormones have hit me hard this round and now they've settled down I'm already finding it easier to stick to my plans.
- Protein goal was all over the place, only made the goal 4 times out of 9. The other days were in the right ballpark though, so I'm not doing too badly, still want to keep it up. Will work on for next round too.
- Couple of heavy exercise days in there, so burn has been up on normal. I've also got a fitbit this round which is making me walk more during the work day (and turns out I'm doing a little more steps than I thought)7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
7/25 - 158.5 - Back on the right track.
7/26 - 158.5 - I'm very happy!14 -
Love this challenge, did good in the last one, looking forward to loosing more this round.

Day/weight/comment
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
7/25 184.6 ok so yesterday I did workout in the morning but didn't in the afternoon instead we decided to go to the movies and at first I did well then I didnt. I can't give up I wanted to end this round with at least 2 lbs lost. It dosen't look like that is going to happen, let's at least loose something, You got this. I do feel a little better in my clothes, I feel like my stomach has gone down, so at least I'm progressing Keeping moving forward
7/26 184.8 I dont get it, I worked out and I was good on my calories I should off been less then yesterday. What am I doing wrong, it's really hard to not be disappointed. Maybe
I worked out more last week then I did this week, that would explain why I lost more weight last round, I always start off strong then end up slowing down. This is definitely my bad week, this is when I would give up and gain back the little weight I lost. I shouldn't go by weight I do feel better, my stomach is not as big even my husband noticed. I refuse to stay this weight though I need to change something, I just dont know what. Don't give up.

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

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

7/17 228.8 (Had a small portion of spaghetti. Now that I'm logging, I've been eating too much of it. Never tasted better though)
7/18 228.2 (Two glasses of red wine)
7/19 227.4 ( Ditto)
7/20 225.6 ( Made the mistake of opening old butterscotch/bourbon Ice cream sauce Tried it 2x, then tossed it )
7/21 223.6 ( Very tired, lousy night sleep - no energy )
7/22 223.0 (Reasonable portion of pasta and sauce - two glassed of red wine. Went 75 over on calories and I sacrificed fruit, veggies and yogurt. Better balance today. Racing through the 220's but can do better.
7/23 222.8 (Sloppy eating and calorie counting. Could have been worse. Had one can of IPA instead of three.)
7/24 221.8 (Made the mistake of going into my wife's granola cereal, a.k.a smashed cookies, for just a little. Two and a half servings later it replaced my healthy lunch and evening wine. Live and learn)
7/25 221.6 (It's shocking how much better food tastes when you're not eating everything in sight, like I have new tastebuds. I need to keep bad stuff out of the house. I bought beer that I wasn't suppose to drink until Saturday - we all know how that ended)
7/26 221.2
7.6 for my first round. I've lost a fair amount of weight twice and this was my lowest first week -previous 8.0 and 8.8. Even though very proud of the round, negative thoughts are already creeping in. Best not to think at all, just do it. It's no time to sabotage myself.
Now to be out of the 220s by Aug 1.4 -

7/17: 333.0 Starting weight.
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 “Mary Poppins” 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.
7/25: 325.6 Nice to see some moment after three days sitting at the same weight. I’m actually looking forward to seeing the final numbers at the end of this challenge. It’s my first time doing this and I have to say having the support of this community along with keeping myself honest with check-ins and food tracking has helped a great deal.
7/26: 324.6 This has been a great experience. I’ve never been excited about getting healthy before. I’d always start off great then just give up if I had a rough couple of days. The difference this time has been this community. The encouragement and support has made all the difference in the world. Reading about your journeys has made me realize there is no quick fix. This isn’t just another diet. This is a lifestyle change. I am becoming the person I was meant to be. Yes, there will be bad days. That’s just life. I need to acknowledge that then let it go and start anew the very next day with a clean slate instead of bogged down in quilt. I want to thank everyone here for their support. This round starting weight was 333.0 and as of this morning I am at 324.6. I hit my goal and then some. I looking forward to the next round!14 -
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.
7/25 – 193lbs – as usual Tuesday night fishing league was a high calorie night. Beer, pizza, smoked fish, crackers, and a submarine sandwich. And now my favorite fast food joint is running a special. I don’t think I want to resist LOL. I will pick back up tomorrow on my limited choice diet.
7/26 – 190lbs – skipped dinner and have not had my usual pickle intake. I would have thought a gain after eating 10 checkers all American cheese burgers for lunch. Really it was only 2 since I pitched 8 buns and stacked up all the meat. Love a good burger.

Round 2
OW 230
Round 46 SW 178 EW 172.6 (-5.4)
Round 47
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*
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
7/25--170 woot!!! downhill trend. I just want to bypass this for tomorrow and end the 10 days starting in the 60s. Didn't feel like working out yesterday but I pushed myself and made it happen....but then ended up completely energy depleted. I didn't do as much working out as I would have liked but the fact that I did end up doing something makes me proud of myself. Those are the days that count the most. My clothes are fitting better and I'm feeling a lot better, today is starting out to be a good mental day. 1.5 liters of water. LETS END THIS STRONG EVERYONE!!
7/26 170.8 weeeeelllp so much for wanting to start in the 60s. It's ok though, I am looking forward to the next 10 days and I know if I give myself another 10 days I will do better then this round. It's a slow process but I can't give up!!! I know I can do it. I did my work out yesterday, although I was busier then usual so didn't get in as much as I would have liked...but I did it. 1.75 liters of water. See you all next round!
Total loss this round-- 1.8
Total loss since starting Just give me 10-- 7.2

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.
7/25 179.6/ I probably went a little over calories yesterday (we ate out) but I didn’t expect this big of an impact because I worked out and drank a lot of water.
7/26 178.8/ Up .8 pounds from what I logged last week, I’m hoping to have a loss or at least break even tomorrow at 178.0 and I’ll log that weight.8 -

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.
7/25- 226.0 Yippee! Good day food wise. The universe heard my plea for a morale boost and 2 separate co-workers commented on my recent weight loss. No one had said anything prior to yesterday. One even called it drastic and asked what I was doing. I introduced her to MFP.
7/26- 225.8 YAS! 10-day loss average is holding steady. So close to 10% loss. I’m in next round but will be out of town for the first 3 days. I won’t be able to weigh in but will probably check in daily with comments. See you tomorrow!9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
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!
7/23--177.6 Whoops. Need to recover from two days of eating out.
7/24--177.6 Struggle bus this round.
7/25--178.4 UGHHHHH I've been well over my daily calorie goal for the last several days so like it or not, I earned this number. Just really struggling with my diet the last two rounds.
7/26--178.28 -
@gomezdiana06 that totally sucks but it's normal. We all have rounds where although we work hard, keep our calories in check and drink water, our weight just doesn't seem to budge or increases slightly...the key is to not give up.
It's a difficult journey for sure but the effort is worth the reward, just keep looking up. Personally this happens to me every couple of weeks then randomly I will loose a bunch of weight all at once. You can do it, just be positive and try to remember that as long as you work at it the weight won't stay on forever.6 -
Change of plans for this round...I've decided to stop worrying about these last 8-13 pounds and focus on eating healthfully most of the time at or just below maintenance, getting a variety of exercise, and generally making the most of the summer. As long as I don't gain, everything is fine. If I lose a little, all the better. I also aim to reboot my daily meditation practice, which I used to do faithfully. It's all part of the picture.
Goals:
Food ~~ 1430 calories max; P 15-25%, C 35-50%, F 25-35%; mostly clean & healthful
Exercise: 60 minutes/day of walking/swimming + yoga/stretch class 3X/week
Weight ~~ maintain or lose slowly.

Day/Moving Ave Weight/Calories Day Before/10-day calorie ave/Exercise/Comment
7/17 - 148.4 - 1495 - 10-day ave 1422 - 30-min walk-run intervals
I've been driving myself crazy about not losing despite cutting back to the point of going hungry, so I've changed my goals a bit. I'll be aiming for my sedentary maintenance calories (1430) plus up to half of what I earn in exercise -- happily, I'm finally back to daily walks/swimming and I'm looking at bikes. Now to resume weight training.... I've also changed my weight goal to 140, which will put me in the "normal" BMI range. I may eventually want to lose another 5-10, but I need to stop obsessing about that.
7/18 - 148.5 - 1401 - 10-day ave 1423 - 90-min slow zoo walk
Good day yesterday, although I had a bit more sodium than usual (and my actual weight went up). Last evening we went to the zoo and walked around the Indonesian Rain Forest exhibit for about 90 minutes, which was wonderful.
7/19 - 148.4 - 1345 - 10-day ave 1403
My iPad seems to have died so I'm guessing at my moving average, but my actual weight came back down, so this is close. Beautiful weather still, so I'm looking forward to a nice long walk. I'm feeling much less stressed about weight since I decided maintaining is fine!
7/20 - 148.4 - 1343 - 10-day ave 1383
I'm still guessing at my moving average, but my actual weight is holding steady, so this is close. All good. Rainy day today (which is good!) so I'll do my walking indoors at the Y. For the past few days I've been waking up with serious neck and lower back pain - no idea what happened all of a sudden, but I'm no a happy camper. I'm hoping to see a chiropractor today or Monday. Who has time for this nonsense??? Anyway, happy Friday, all.
7/21 - 148.4 - 1370 - 10-day ave 1316
The loss doesn't show since I'm using my moving average, but my actual weight is down & now equals my moving ave. Clothes are fitting looser no matter what the scale says. All good!
7/22 - 148.6 - 1704 - 10-day ave 1370
Little bit of a splurge yesterday, but no junk food! It will balance out today. Still all good.
7/23 - 148.2 - 1361 - 10-day ave 1383
On track, other than a lot of neck and lower back pain I've been fighting for almost a week. Happy new week!
7/24 - 148.2 - 1460 - 10-day ave 1396
Excellent. Keeping my 10-day average below my estimated TDEE (maintenance) of (depending on the calculator) 1430-1480 seems to be working. I went for a lovely walk yesterday morning along the St. Joe River Native Tree Walk, and spent some time in the gorgeous Master Gardener gardens at the county extension office. Perfect way to start the day. Seeing new chiropractor tomorrow, finally. Lunch today with a friend I haven't seen since 2012! I'm off now to study the menu.... Have a good one!
7/25 - 147.6 - 1297 - 10-day ave 1405
Could it be that I'm losing now that I've decided maintenance is fine? Sure, why not? We shall see.
7/26 - 147.8 - 1711 - 10-day ave 1449
I had a horrible afternoon yesterday running from chiropractor to doctor to x-rays and WAY too much time in waiting rooms trying to get a handle on my back & neck pain, so hubby took me out for dinner and I had a margarita, which bumped my calories up, but who cares? I'm down a pound for the round, and that's fine. On to R48!

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 - I can 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.
•7/25 - 188 - Early weigh in. 47g carbs, 36g net carbs. Spinach, spaghetti squash, marinara sauce, peanuts, strawberries
•7/26 - 188.2 - Early weigh in. A 1.4 pound loss for the round. Not too shabby for eating at a higher carb level. And bread! After today, I'll start cranking the carbs back down and see if I can get through the 180's in Round 48. MFP's 5 week weight projection said I'd be 189 lbs today. 33g carbs, 26g net carbs. Salad greens, spinach, marinara sauce, spaghetti squash.
