Day/Weight/Comment
7/27: 69.5 - Really?! REALLY?! I've been gunning for 69.5 for the last two rounds and you wait until the day that I've decided to up my round goal weight to something definitely achievable (with current trends) to dump this one on me. I know I shouldn't be annoyed by a lower number, but I'm pretty sure my body is just trolling me on this one. Anyway: Yesterday was a really good day, started off looking like it was only going to be an okay day, but then I wasn't very hungry at breakfast and saved half for later, meaning I wasn't as hungry for lunch and didn't eat it all, meant I gained about 150kcals more in the bank than I expected. A yummy (and surprisingly low calorie) spag bol and pasta for dinner still left me under calories, so I had some watermelon and icecream for dessert (YUM!) And was still under daily goal. 76g of protein for the day
7/28: 69.9 - TOM has reared it's ugly head proving, once again, that my body doesn't run in nice even patterns. However, does help account for my super massive cravings last round that were doing their very best to try and mess me up (and those consistent days of 70.5). Anyhoos: happy to be staying under 70kg again. Yesterday was pretty good right up until evening. I had a reasonably stressful day at work so I think I did well to not binge on all the chocolate that I really wanted to during the day (heck I even had a slice of watermelon as a snack instead). Then we went and looked at puppies, and got pie and chips on the way home. Which put me over calories. But not over maintenance. Then my partner put more chips in the oven and did far too much for him so I ate some more because food waste. Pushing me to about maintenance. Not great but not awful day... 56g of protein for the day.
7/29: 69.5 - Lots of Judo and wasn't at all hungry most of the day. Barely ate up to my normal goal, let alone any of my exercise calories. Saving them for Sunday. 73g of protein for the day
7/30: 69.6 - Went out for what was supposed to be a pub lunch, and turned into a Indian lunch (pub wasn't doing food). Made sensible food choices and avoided the enormous naan bread and just went with rice, curry and onion bhaji. Stopped eating when I felt full. Ate tea at my parents, and was really not very hungry so got away with eating only a very small amount (and a reasonable amount of that was salad). However still had to guesstimate on the entries/quantities in the diary for almost all of the food today. I think I over estimated, but it's hard to guess. Calories were well over goal, but considering the exercise calories I hadn't eaten from the day before, it probably worked out about level. Also, with some calculation: my 7 day average is now officially under 70kg (69.9, still counts!) 102g of protein for the day.
7/31: 69.6 - More Judo death yesterday. Trained super hard and felt really good on it. Actually ate back some of my exercise calories yesterday which had everything to do with the fact that we had welsh cakes in the cupboard (I just love welsh cakes). Still in deficit. 87g of protein for the day.
8/01: 69.3 - I have not been expecting this kind of progress this round, but don't get me wrong, I'm very much enjoying it. Will probably rise a little tomorrow, but I'm able to dream that I might be able to reach 68.x by the end of this round. Unlikely, but a novel concept. Felt hungry all day yesterday and am very glad I stayed under my allotted calories. Planned my dinner around the fact that I wanted to eat a cake for dessert. Not a very good day at all for protein though. 45g of protein for the day. A really very good day for non scale victories yesterday as well: While surfing the sale rack I found the same pair of jeans I'm currently wearing (and am feeling a little big on me right now), but in the size down. Not only was I able to actually put them on and button them up. They actually looked good. They were probably a little small if I was to have bought them now, but oh so very close to fitting perfectly. Another one: I tried on my motorbike trousers for the first time in about 2 months. They were definitely a bit big for me (I now need braces to stop them from falling down). However, the biggest thing about that is that when I bought them, way back in February, I had to take out the extra little bit of padding that sat on the hips, as they dug into my sides when I was straddling the bike. And they were literally the only trousers that actually fit me at all comfortably, so that was the compromise I had to make. I put them back in yesterday. Because I could spread my legs easily without them pulling and being uncomfortable.

8/02: 69.3 - Uuuuuuuuh, yesterday was tough. I have been so very hungry. Went over my allowance, but only just, still under maintenance, so still winning. Did not drink enough water all day, so was super thirsty this morning. I kinda glad the number hasn't moved, because I don't know how I'd feel it going either way. I bought some skyr yogurt on tuesday, which seems to be doing a really good job at upping my protein amount without thinking about it. Also I've remembered that tuna is a really good way of adding protein for low numbers of calories. 88g of protein for the day.

7/27 - 178.2 lbs Glad to see the number is still going down 😄
7/28 - 178.8 lbs (+0.6) Weird 😂 I know that weight loss is not linear, but this is like the third time I pop back up to 178.8. Hoping to get past this number for good soon.
7/29 - 179.0 (+0.2) Maybe this is because of all the salt I have been eating to survive this heat 🤭
7/30 - 179.2 (+0.2)
7/31 - 179.6 (+0.4) I don’t even know what to say at this point 😅 Been really active the last couple of days and sticking to my 1200 kcal goal.
8/01 - 180.3 (+0.7) I seriously have no idea what’s going on.. I thought I would never see 180 again. Let’s hope for a better tomorrow 👍🏻

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27 - 158.5 - I was going to gripe about being this weight for almost 8 days straight, especially since I've stayed real close to my weight loss calories. Then I realized because of our out of town visitors, I've had food that is higher in sodium, I haven't been walking as much, and water has not been my drink of choice. We've got one last barbecue planned for this weekend and then they'll leave on Sunday. I need to enjoy this weekend and not worry about what the scale says. Last week, before they came, I was hoping to maintain and I need to be happy that I did.
7/28 - 159.5
7/29 - 161 - Well, 158.5 looks pretty good right now! I had a little of everything at our picnic yesterday and several drinks, so this is no surprise. I have figured out that exactly 11 years ago I had dieted to 157 lbs. I hit a plateau and stopped counting calories and tracking my weight. This time will be different. I don't regret the overindulgence yesterday, since this time I'm not going to let it derail me. (And we had so much fun!)
7/30 - 160 - Slowly getting rid of the weekend indulgences.
7/31 - 160 - Patience, patience.
8/01 - 159 - I'm almost there!
8/02 - 158.5 - I can't believe I'm happy to see this number again. I'm really going to try to drop a half pound over the next few days to end this round with a loss. I've been having issues with vertigo (BPPV, I think) the past few weeks which has kept me from doing some of my calorie burning activities. I had this issue a few years ago, but I don't remember it lasting this long.

I'm late but I'm in! I did a round at the beginning of July but have been on holiday since. Holidays ended yesterday and I have to get back on track starting today. I swam pretty much every day while away but ate and drank way to much, so I managed to gain a few pounds

7/30 - 257....no exercise and not great eating yesterday...still off schedule with the 4 1/2 hrs time difference. I did drink quite a bit of water though, which is why I think I have a little loss today.
7/31 - 257...not a good day yesterday so I'm happy to not see a gain..yet.
8/01 - 258...another bad day of eating too much and no exercise. My routines are completely off, I'm not able to sleep at night and I can't seem to get back on track. I know I want and need to but I just can't seem to get it done

No loss again but this morning I was running late and did my bathroom business at work so my weight this morning was me topped off
All in all I'm feeling pretty good. I don't feel like I'm starving myself like I felt so many times before when I tried losing weight so that's a plus.
Still working on the nutrition side and the carb lowering. I can't believe how much stuff i eat that's carb heavy. Well, at least I'm aware of it and working on it.

7/27 - 188.2 - I got kicked out of ketosis and ate like it for a few days. I'm less concerned with the weight gain, knowing that it is mostly water, but I am bothered by how physically awful I feel. One positive outcome of the last few days, it reaffirmed that I feel better physically eating low carb. I am back on track today and excited to get back to it.
7/28 - 187.3 - I ate low carb but didn't track. I was short on my water yesterday. Today's goals will be to eat LCHF and hit my water goal.
7/29 - 187.0 - I did better with my water intake yesterday and stayed on track with LCHF. Today I am going to go try to add back in some exercise.
7/30 - 185.7 - I'm beginning to feel better physically. I didn't get in any exercise yesterday, but I'm going to go for a run today.
7/31 - 185.7 - Staying the same is better than going up. Today I am going to try cutting out processed food and be better at tracking. I've only been kind of tracking. I've been planning my food, but not sticking to the plan. I've been sticking to low carb, but I know I'll see better results if I stick to my food plan.
8/01 - 184.6 - I went for a run, drank a ton of water, and ate LCHF all day but I didn't track again. I am going to attempt to track again today.
8/02 - 184 - I'm happy to see that number. I'm worried about the weekend. I'm going to try my best to stay LCHF but I'm going to a small city in Quebec and I only speak a tiny bit of French. I speak enough to order, but not enough to be picky. I plan to get right back to it on Monday, but I'm sure I'll be up from water weight. Oh well!

8/03 - I'm headed to Quebec for a few days so no scale and limited internet.

Gw: 218.2 (is 3lbs a good 10 day goal weight?)
UGW: 130.0

Round 48
7/27: 219.6 Wooot back to my lowest weight that I was a week ago, dang I missed those numbers! Must have been retaining water!
7/28: 219.2 Really surprised I had a loss today!
7/29: 218.6 OMG I ate terrible yesterday, I logged everything and was just a little over but how did I lose?? I am so surprised!
7/30: 218.6 Happy it's not a gain, I'm so tired. Wondering if my weigh ins are better when I've slept longer. On the 27th woke up at 6:10, 28th 7:30 29th 8:30, today the 30th 6:10.
7/31: 217.8 10 Day Goal Met!!!! This is really exciting, I have never met a weightloss goal before!! (This may be a repost, I posted earlier or at least I thought I did lol)
8/01: 217.2 I am continuously surprised that losing weight can feel easy, and that I don't feel deprived. This has never been my experience.
8/02: 217.8 Not surprised, and not a big deal! I didn't mean plan yesterday, had Chili's Chicken Tacos (how the heck are those so high in Calories) and they were yummy. Back to planning today!

I’m in. I’ve gone completely out of control! I can’t believe I keep doing this to myself.

SW this round 185.8
Goal this round 180.0 looking for -5.8 this round.

It’s a big goal but my body is just so so so bloated that I think I’ll drop a few pounds easy as long as I push the water. If I can make this happen this round I will make more reasonable goals in the future rounds.

7/27 - 185.8
7/28 - 184.4. (-1.4) so far so good.
7/29 - 182.8 (-3 total so far)
7/30 - 180.8 (-5 total so far)
7/31 - 180.0. (-5.8 total so far) I know it’s just water weight coming off but it’s a good motivator anyway!
8/1 - 178.6 (-7.2 total so far) shocked at the weigh in this morning. I thought I would have a gain as I had a love fest (or feast) with half a package of S’more wafer cookies. I did run just over 3 miles in this Texas heat after work yesterday so who knows. Our bodies are funny things that react in ways we don’t expect at times.
8/2 - 178.6 (-7.2 total so far)- well the water weight seems to have worked itself out! Pleased.

7/30 184.4 it's hard to not fall back into old eating habits on a road trip, this was a quick roadtrip and I did horrible I have to start all over again. My goal to end this week 181.
7/31 184.0 ok so I said I was going to start off this week good, but first I didnt do my morning workout then I ate half of my calories at Starbucks this morning, I surpassed my calories for the day, but at least I worked out. Tomorrow's a new day it will be better

8/1 182.8 nice, let's not scare it away...I ate over my calories but I at least worked out in the afternoon, although I really didnt want too, I pretty much half assed it but now I'm glad I did it. Ok so now I need to loose one more pound by Friday I can do this...I realized I have to start working out a little more, if I want to get to my goal. Morning abs night cardio.

8/2 182.4 stayed under my calories worked out morning and evening. I have one more day to meet my goal of being in 181 by Friday come on come on.

I always delay finishing - I don't know why I get nervous about it, because I am usually pretty happy with them when they are done. Anyway I ate more because I was anxious, but also went on a 5k walk to balance it all out.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27--No weigh in. Well. When I said this round would be hard, this wasn't what I had in mind...I went to the dermatologist Thursday afternoon to address a weird burning sensation in my upper arm. Turns out I am likely in the beginning stages of shingles(!). I am a bit young to get shingles (36) although you can really get them at any age if you've had chicken pox. The doctor writes me a note and tells me not to go back to work, go home, get in bed, and stay there all weekend. Between the extensive rest and the prescription for Valtrex, we are hoping we can stop it in its tracks. So that's what I've done. I've been in bed since Thursday afternoon. It's boring and I keep thinking about the things I had planned to do this weekend. DH reminds me that stress is one of the things that leads to shingles and I need to stop worrying about household chores because they don't matter. He has been bringing me meals in bed and I am not tracking or logging anything.
7/28--177.0 Decided to visit the scale on my way to soaking in a nice Epsom salt bath; this cheered my mood. I would have expected worse. Shingles pain, by the way, is terrible, and I am now an advocate for everybody getting the shingles vaccine. It's recommended if you're over the age of 50. I did some research on diet changes that can help/hurt a case of the shingles. I have added more chicken, orange juice, and bananas to my diet, and am avoiding chocolate, caffeine, sugar, and processed carbs. So far I don't have any blisters, although my arm is very sensitive and painful. No exercise, just bed rest. I feel like this explains a lot about the past week--why I have been feeling tired and unmotivated. These can be the very first signs of shingles. Here I was beating myself up thinking I need to get back with the program, when really I had this virus starting to attack my body.
7/29--176.6 Wow, that was a needed boost. Today feeling better and I have every intention of going back to work tomorrow, we'll see...
7/30--178.0 Expected this.
7/31--178.0 Almost feel normal today, just a little tingling in my arm. I was back at work yesterday and after 3 1/2 days of basically bed rest, I was completely exhausted last night. Still trying to be mindful of my diet in regard to shingles and limit my activity. It seems to be working! I have 2 1/2 days of medication left.
8/01--178.8
8/02--179.2 A bout of shingles, a week and a half of almost no activity...yep, not surprised. I really need these next few days of fun and relaxation. There's not a chance I'll be logging all my food, but I will try to be mindful. I start a new job on Monday and the next round starts as well. Just going to need a reset.

Up slightly but this number seems more realistic. A 1.2 lb drop in one day right after losing 1 lb the previous day doesn’t make a lot of sense. Clothing is loose which is always a good sign.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/27 - 221.2 - Went out with an old friend and only had one beer. Passed on the charcuterie plate that I wanted bad, but those are the make or break moments.
7/28- 220.2 - Had 600 calories of pizza last night with 2 glasses of red wine, just ate lightly rest of the day and stayed within 1550 calories. Some foods are out of the question though since the calorie/enjoyment trade off is low. See ya' soda and muffins.
7/29 - 220.6 - Ate out last night, very hard to count calories at restaurants. I went overboard on some kind of oily garlic bread. Then got more of the same bread with entree, didn't know it was coming. Still not a bad day.
7/30 -219.6.6 - Out of the 220's two days short of goal. Next plan is to be out of 210s by Sept 1st for a vacation. Doable, but almost no room for error.
7/31- 218.8 - Bad cereal and milk seems to be my biggest trigger food - by far the worst hunger that I offset with a salad. I wish it wasn't in the house but my wife eats it.
8/1- 217.8 - I got a new scale because the old one was +/- .8. New scale seems to be a pound less than the old one hence the big drop.
8/2- 218.8 - First bad day. I think, I hope, that the reason for the bad day was I ate almost no protein until dinner. I've had very few real urges to overeat, but yesterday I felt extremely hungry and lethargic all afternoon and didn't eat well because of it. Lesson learned, time to move on.

@4JWS Holding steady is good!

@jaccimc63 Vertigo is not fun! DH and I have had periodic problems for a couple of years which the doctor thinks are related to allergies. Recently I realized my latest seemed to be orthostatic hypotension. I reduced my BP med and it went away. BP is still good.

@no1racefan1 Hope those shingles are gone gone gone! Enjoy your weekend away - it is well deserved!

Day/Weight/Comment

•7/27 - 189.2 - Early weigh in. This end of round drop and beginning round overnight gain of ONE pound seems to be my trend. I'm officially in the overweight BMI category. Kind of a weird eating day for me yesterday. Went to help my niece again, but was rushed, so I threw some random food items into my lunchbag. None of my plans for the day were achieved. 35g carbs, 26g net carbs. Lettuce, grape tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, strawberries, cottage cheese, peanut butter
•7/28 - 187.8 - Okay, I know, I'm supposed to be dialing down the carbs, but I have 4 more days left and fried chicken and fresh peach sounded delicious. 63g carbs, 55g Net carbs. Seasoned coating for chicken, green beans, broccoli slaw, poppyseed dressing, 1/2 medium fresh peach, peanut butter, of course
•7/29 - 188.2 - Early weigh in. 57g carbs, 51g net carbs. Salad greens, 1/2 medium fresh peach, strawberries, cottage cheese, seasoned coating for chicken, peanut butter
•7/30 - 188.2 - 50g carbs, 37g net carbs. Green beans, peanuts, peanut butter, seasoned coating for chicken.
•7/31 - 187.8 - Well I lied, today will be my last day of higher carb fruits. I still have one peach to eat. Looking back over the month, I did well except for two extremely high carb days that involved bread and sugar aka sugar and sugar😂 45g carbs, 39g net carbs. Seasoned coating for chicken (So long fried chicken! I won't miss you.) salad greens, spinach, fresh plum, lime juice.
•8/1 -186.8 - Early weigh in. It's unbelievable that its August already! Yesterday was my last day of increased carbohydrates. 46g carbs, 35g net carbs. Broccoli, salad greens, sunflower seeds, fresh peach. I didn't eat anything that I had planned until 5:30 pm. My niece held me up briefly in the a.m. from running my errands. She asked me to watch her children for a short time and I did. I wasn't hungry until after I left the house, about 1 p.m. Bought some sunflower seeds to stave off my hunger for a couple of hours. Didn't drink enough water throughout the day. Changed up my planned meals a bit, because my eating time was shortened. *My third day back to intermittent fasting. Took a month off.* Made a semi chef's salad, forgot to boil eggs. 😕 Felt stuffed after eating, but specifically after eating that peach. BUT, no more fresh peaches until next summer, so it's all good. I hope to keep carbs under 20- 25 grams today.


•8/2 - 185.2 - 21g carbs (18g carbs), 17g net carbs (14g net carbs) Ugh, I had my carbs perfect! 18 grams total and messed it up with lime juice. I NEEDED that lime in my water though. My mouth was so dry and I needed flavor. Otherwise, a good day. Macros WERE on point before my little green monster. Changed my nutrition goals, calories dropped by 20.
