Day/Weight/Comment
7/27 - 183.6 - Had poor eating day yesterday, managed to stay within goal but barely. My daughter had been in an accident, she is OK but being her Mama I had to go to the hospital and see it with my own eyes to believe her.
7/28 - 184.0 - another unexpected task added on at suopertime. Ended up eating McDonald’s for supper. Still in calorie goal but not part of my plans.
7/29 - 185.2 - Went for a date night on Saturday our first in a long time, so fully enjoyed it. Stayed in maintenance but lots of carbs and sodium
7/30 - 185.2 - Yesterday ate in maintenance as well, very hot and didn't feel like cooking so ate out. Will get back on track today.
7/31 - 185.0 - Had a good day yesterday, even got a walk in.
8/01 - 184.2 a little surprised since I had too much sodium yesterday
8/02 - 184.2 - Had a good day yesterday so was a little disappointed.

8/04 - Out of town - No Scales
8/05 - Out of town - No Scales - Will check in on August 6 as my end for this round

Highest Weight = 172 lbs
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)

Round 48 Goal: to be in the 155's
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in week 2 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/weekday
Nutrition Plan = Continue to limit gluten, dairy, sugar, diet soda, alcohol & eat non-processed foods, protein/fruit/veg at every meal, complex carbs at breakfast and post workout meal, drink plenty of water.

07/27 - 157.2 (no change from yesterday) I had a really good exercise day yesterday! Was able to get a run in and completed the 1st week of my 90 day challenge with the day 7 exercises. Food wise, everything was on point. I'm tired today and super happy it's Friday! So looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, although a later weigh-in may sque the number on the scale. I bought a book yesterday that was recommended by another person on a similar weight loss/fitness journey called Intuitive Eating and looking forward to diving into this book over the weekend. Welcome to everyone new to this challenge, excited to see what this round brings!

07/28 - 157.0 (down .2 from yesterday) Late weigh-in this morning and hopefully will have a late weigh-in tomorrow, so we'll see what the scale brings on Monday with a normal weigh-in time. Yesterday I completed day 8 of my 90 day challenge: Body Squat w/ 2 Knee Lift, Incline Push Ups, Alternating Reverse Lunges, Elbow Plank, 4-Point Triceps Dips, Side Step Squat w/ Bicep Curls (used dumbbells), & Bridge Lifts. My upper body is my weakest area (in terms of strength) and I put on weight here 1st and lose here last. Those 4-point triceps dips were hard!! But the sense of accomplishment after is worth all the pain of doing them! On point yesterday with nutrition, calories & macros. Today is a scheduled rest day and my plan was to do nothing, but my daughter just got invited over to a friend's house, which opens me up to be able to get outside and get a run in - Yay!

07/29 - 156.7 (down .3 from yesterday) Didn't get to sleep in this morning as my daughter had a friend sleepover and they were up quite early wanting breakfast. They had a baked berry French toast, I had prepped the night before, I took a small bite but it didn't really interest me, happy to stick to my green smoothie. Yesterday was a partial rest day, just did a short run, it was a little warm but there was a nice breeze so no complaints. I did my day 10 of 90 workout earlier this morning and for the rest of the day I'm hoping to get some meal prep in and then have some nice family time with my husband and daughter. Enjoy your day everyone

07/30 - 156.3 (down .4 from yesterday) I've got a feeling my weight is about to have a little bounce up, maybe I'm wrong but we'll see. Usually when it drops like this (more than .2 a day), it goes up a bit and then settles back down. I'll just keep plugging along and roll with it. I didn't get enough sleep on Saturday night, so yesterday wasn't the best. I felt sluggish in my workout, and while I ate according to plan, I didn't eat enough. I took a huge afternoon nap and then couldn't sleep last night and stayed awake stressing about all sorts of things. So not good! I'm about to make some protein pancakes for breakfast and get re-charged for the day. Today is an active recovery day for day 11 of my 90 day challenge, so looking to get some yoga in, self care, and do the meal prep that didn't happen yesterday. Let's have a great start to this new week everyone!

07/31 - 156.5 (up .2 from yesterday) There's that little bump I felt coming, no reason for it except normal weight fluctuations. Yesterday was good food wise and an easy day 11 of 90 challenge wise with just gratitude sun salutations scheduled. My lower back was in a lot of weird pain yesterday so I did yoga stretches throughout the day, Epson salt bath, and alternated heat and ice therapy. Still feel kinda of wonky this morning. I've done my stretches again and will do these a couple more times throughout the day and then see about my day 12 of 90 workout later today. It is mostly upper a body/booty workout, so it should be fine but I'll see how the back situation progresses before tackling this. I'm okay with taking a day off if needed. And, sleep seems to be my big issue this round, another night with little of it. My daughter was not sleeping last night, she is 12 and has OCD/Anxiety issues and last night was one of the night she just didn't sleep, which puts me on high alert that she is about to have an OCD blow-up/anxiety attack. So I was checking in on her all night to make sure all was good. She was okay but just not sleeping, but she has seemed "off" since the weekend so I know something is coming and I need to be ever watchful of her. She has been on meds. for the past couple months prescribed by her pediatrician as a "hold in place" until we can get her on a regular medication protocol by a Psychiatric MD. We are finally getting closer to that appointment which is August 20th, which I am just living for. The medication she is on right now is really just a sedative to try to keep her in a calmer place, the goal is to get her on something that will deal with the actual OCD symptoms, which in turn will put her in a calmer place. We also do CBT therapy, this drug protocol was a last result this year after years of dealing with this. It's hard. She is such a wonderful, happy child when not troubled by these issues, I hate seeing her have to deal with all this. But I will say, I am handling of it it so much better since I decided I had to focus on me again as well. Being in control of my health, nutrition, and fitness makes me able to be a better parent for her.

08/01 - Weight = 156.1 (down .4 from yesterday) Closing in on my goal for the round, hope saying that doesn't jinx it! Yesterday was a pretty good day, ate well & under calories and was able to do my day 12 exercises, albeit a little gingerly, due the nagging lower back pain. Back pain is still there today, but improving. Today is a scheduled rest day on my 90 day challenge. My mind tells me that there are too many rest days on this plan and that I should do something anyway, but my body feels like it needs the rest, I have to reset my mind to trust the plan, there are improvements happening when you give your body time to recovery,

08/02 - Weight = 156.3 (up .2 from yesterday), playing this fun weight game again, up and down, up and down Took my rest day yesterday and my back is much improved today, looking forward to getting my day 14 of 90 exercises done today and be at the halfway point for the 1st month of the challenge. Ate under calories yesterday, but sodium was a little higher than usual (still within macro range) and my water weight percentage was way up on my scale this morning when I weighed-in, may explain the 0.2 lb little uptick on the scale.

@abowersgirl I feel your frustration and completely relate. The only solution that works for me is to not have it in my home. Chips, crackers, nuts, pretzels, dried fruit, peanut butter, desserts, dry cereal, all of these are my binge triggers. I will chow until it's gone then look for more.

The difficult part for you is your husband; being in the same room with someone who is enjoying your trigger food can be torture. Maybe you can find something to do that removes you from the temptation. A bubble bath works for me (when I actually follow my own advice, lol). The soapy scent and relaxing environment soothes the snack beast.

“Overall, during this period, you have lost 2,355 cals (net Calories deficit), which means you should have lost 11oz. Your total Calories intake was 14,632 and your total Calories expended was 16,987 (of which, 3,848 cals were burned from exercise).
According to your weigh-ins, you've gained about 2lb during this time. You've lost about 2.7lb less than expected.”
Hahahahahaha!!! So I guess I *really* weigh 163.7, which I believe.
Culprit: two salty meals? Many more steps?? More sleep! Not going to worry about it. Still...it is disconcerting when I was so active & brought my food, weighed food, etc, tracked all. I see why folks have a 5-lb maintenance window.
Two planned & tracked restaurant meals which I don’t have normally.
Carrying on!
7/31 166.0 Trend wt: 165.3 Loss/wk: 0.4
BMI: 24.9
Had a bit of a carb pity party last night - all weighed & tracked LOL Not too far over in calories, but Very unlike me. I think I’m back on track today...a great night’s sleep should help me along.
Perspective helps: My wt is down for the month. My exercise was highest yet this month. All is good. Relax. You can do this & will learn from it.

Creeping back down...

Continuing to creep down... This is the first time this has happened to me. I’m glad I’m turning it around!
Huge NSV last night. 3-mile walk with significantly faster pace over 8.5 mins faster per mile than I could do before & 3 times the distance!!!. Definitely STRONGER & more fit!!!!!! #grateful #thrilled

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 - R47 EW 192.0
7/27 - Friday - 192.6 - Well I self sabotaged myself last night. Didnt eat my snack, got home and went to the lake basically in avoidance mode. Starving on the way home and ordered pizza deal. Ate my hunger and my feelings. Woke up super grumpy today - stressed at work. Making a conscious effort to have a better attitude than I woke up with. Late start on water intake today. Had already planned on mexican for lunch so I'm going to enjoy it, log it, and move on. Same with last night - its over and done with. Today may not be too pretty eating wise either but honestly I'm more focused on my mental health today - I know food has a direct correlation to my mood so I'll remember that while being gentle with myself today.
7/28 - Saturday - 193.4 - Made it thru the day with minimal incidence of meltdown nor did I self sabotage - I are when I was hungry and didn't when I was full. Impromptu shopping trip with my mom today. Its bound to include lunch. I'll be present in the moment and listen to those hunger cues again. Happy saturday!
7/29 - Sunday - 194.6 - Oh restaurant food how you toy with my emotions. Not letting it get to me! Had a great day yesterday. Overindulged a bit at lunch. When I came home DH wanted to take me out on a date night for ice cream - so like any reasonable adult child in an adults body I had ice cream for dinner! I didnt spend the day feeling bad about the number, or trying to over compensate eating really well or starve myself. I just trust the process enough to know that tomorrow I'll be back on track.
7/30 - Monday - 193.2 - Ahh yes, rewarded for trusting the process. I was not perfect by any means yesterday. But I have been better about drinking my protein shake in the morning and taking my meds. Also trying to improve my NEAT. NSV's this weekend include, grocery shopping and sticking to the list, food prepped and meal planned for the week yesterday, trying on a bunch of clothes (down to a size 14 from a snug 16) and liking how I looked, handling stressful situations with more grace, and moving more in general! Oh and that pesky appraisal finally came back - it didnt let us down! So things are moving right along again, may even be able to move up closing! Onward!!!
7/31 - Tuesday - 193.2 - Finally got cracking on some cleaning/packing last night. It was a small dent - focused more on cleaning because the apartment is being shown Thursday, which I'm all worried about, because I hardly have friends over, nevermind strangers all up in my business BLAH. But it was great exercise and I made matzo ball soup for dinner before crashing. Happy to say I've cut back my eating out (this included a TON of drive thru in the past) to probably a quarter or less of what I used to do. Cooking at home doesn't have to be hard - and I'm relying on lots of different products to help make it easier. Like steam bag veggies, a frozen meal for lunch, tuna pouches, and bag salads. I try to eat local and organic as much as I can but lets be real...life is crazy and there is nothing wrong with having some help a long the way!
8/01 - Wednesday - 192.4 - Worked my butt off cleaning the house last night and getting to the laundromat - and also managed to make a home cooked dinner thanks to a little food prep on Sunday! Who am I?! I've had to seriously consider what needs my time and energy - because I'm prone to over extending myself and melting down. I'm learning to say NO. to things that do not serve me. NO. is a full sentence - I don't need to explain myself all the time. I am my number one priority right now - and it feels so good to be a little "selfish" after years and years of trying to pour for others out of my own empty cup. This weight loss journey is really blooming into a well rounded journey to better overall health.
8/02 - Thursday - 192.0 - Oh dear I just noticed this is a Sunday round end - usually my high weight for the week so might make a 2lb goal a little lofty - however I will visualize it anyway! Strangers in my house today! But we made a really good dent on getting things moving, packed, and tossed out. Protein shake in the morning and regular medicines have been improving steadily! I think I might make a frozen pizza and a bag salad for dinner tonight and swap the ground chicken for something tomorrow. The kitchen is clean for the time being and I tend to be a hurricane so this should be a nice balance without ordering take out.

Round 47- SW 158 EW 152.5 (-5.5lbs)

Round 48. In for my second time and loving the 10-day challenge. It's inspiring to see everyone here with many rounds completed and others who are just getting started like me.

Round 48 goals: 10,000 steps per day. In bed by 11 pm.

7/27- 152.5 - 13,000 steps, plus some extra exercise. Made time for breakfast and remembered to pack a healthy lunch.
7/28 -152 - 12,000 steps. Attended a wedding today. The food was not my style, so no trouble to not overindulge. Nearly two weeks of consistent exercise has sure made me feel better.
7/29 - 152.5 - 13,000 steps - Forgot to post.
7/30 - 153.5 - 15,000 steps. Prosecco and pizza and pasta, oh my. No surprise to see today's number. Got a nice little hike in with the family. It was our puppy's first hike and he was surprisingly well behaved! The weather is warm here (for the Pacific Northwest) and I'm glad to be back in my air conditioned office today. A study just came out that said that Seattle is the least air conditioned metropolitan city in the US. So when it's 80 degrees outside, there's no escape - it's also 80 degrees inside. I kind of just melt into my couch on hot weekends and don't want to move at all.
7/31 - 153 - 11,000 steps, elliptical and weight lifting. It's a little cooler here today and it feels sooo good. Glad to see the scale creeping back down.
8/01- 152.5 - Ha, just typo'd and entered that at 125.5. Wouldn't that be nice! 13,000 steps.
8/02 - 151. Didn't hit my step goal yesterday. I came home and was so tired I went right to bed for 12 glorious hours of sleep!! I'd been averaging closer to 5 hours a night, which just isn't enough. Based on yesterday alone, it's sleeping, not stepping, that drives the scale down for me.

8/01...173...
8/02...173... woohoo!!!! Been staying within my eating goals and getting exercise daily. Didn't meet my step goal a few times, but in track with my 30 day squat challenge. Quietly thumbing my nose at the peeps in the exercise forum who say you can't gain muscle while in an eating deficit - I can feel muscle around my hip bones that were not there before. It's a strange feeling. Can't see them at this point- I keep them well hidden under fat 😂😂

Reminds me of that meme that went around a while back- a picture of a plate of ice cubes and it said "my gluten/sugar/fat/carb/calorie free meal" --- or something along those lines

One thing that helps me resist temptation like that is eating a ton of veg right before they are due to show up with the pizza. When I'm stuffed- even the smell of yummy things turn me off.

Good vibes to ya! Stay strong!!!!

About me: 61, 5'7", in maintenance since March this year. Serial loser and regainer of 20 and determined not to slide back up this time.

Round 47 report: Rethinking my goals at this time. My range was 125-130; I am now at the bottom end and still happy to lose slowly; I don't want to exceed 127 by much unless it's serious muscle gain. Some nice hard cardio last week in spite of the muggy gym.

Round 48 GOAL = Maintain weight 121-127, get some nice workouts in.

7/27 - 125.0 - yesterday feeling meh and came home from work. At maintenance calories, no workout.

7/28 - 126.6 - yesterday (Friday) wildfires started near our valley, called in to work at 10PM for a few hours, home at 1PM. Did get 10K steps in but food wise an extreme day.
7/29 - 126.6 - yesterday (Saturday) tired and stressy, food choices were just don't care tbh
7/30 - 128.4 - yesterday (Sunday) we took 2 separate power outages totaling 8 hours, work issues and concern about friends caused anxiety, food choices again were do not care and comfort me please. I did not log the past several days. I am going to draw a line and log now starting today.
Ironic that the second I decide that my top of range is 127, I go over it.
7/31-126.6 - Yesterday a bit over maintenance calories, got a lovely 3.5 mile run in the heat.
8/1 - 127.0 - yesterday at maintenance calories, some walking but no workout.

8/2 - 127.2 - yesterday over maintenance, busy day and no workout.

05/07: Goal: 205.x

Looking for a general downward trend. Really focused on my logging, and on clean eating, and MOVING more - which is what I love - it gives me ENERGY!

I am SO SO determined!! I 100% NEED to stay mindful about my daily logging and being mindful about what I eat and drink. I need to get into the HEALTHY BMI band.

This is a long term thing, a few bad days or weeks is something I'm getting better at coping with.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/26- went for radiation, cut the lawn( big property), took grandchildren to the park, worked out on treadmill, rest.

7/27-walked, yoga, Completed week 5 radiation. I have a health update when I see the doctor All 5 weeks perfect!

7/28- Did not have a good night sleep last night, I hour, 20 mins during the day.( steroids, one more week and then we can start to cut them back, they are making me super hungry, walking helps.

7/29 Had a great day, slept last night, did a lot of walking 112mins. Goal for next week watching my food portions. Steroids are making it really hard for me, one more week and then I can start to cut them in half.

7/30- Had a great day for walking steps. Went for radiation#6 left, and I had to go to the hospital for EEG to test brain for seizures, but I doubt it because I feel fine. I did to much today.

7/31-I feel fantastic, not one symptom since I started radiation completed 25 treatments, down to the last 5, doctors said I would lose my hair after week 2 or 3 -that did not happen. I think because I drink so much water and when I wake up everyday I have an organic bread with avocado. I have been out walking at least 12,000 steps. I am very fortune.

8/1 Only a couple hours sleep last night. Made my meals for tomorrow. Went walking. Since the weekend my steps have been up. 4 more treatments for Radiation. I can't believe it.

8/2 - worked on meal planning for next week. Steps- have been over 10,000 all week. Still not much sleep last night.

R3: Gained 3.7 (SW 194.4)
R4: Lost 2.8 (SW 198.1)

SW: 195.3
GW: 191.0

Plan to reach this goal:
-NO EATING OUT AT ALL IN THE NEXT 10 DAYS EVEN IF IT'S "HEALTHY"
-Pre-plan the night before and make sure you have all of your ingredients at home and follow through.
-Workout at least 3 times a week (Goal of running at least 4 minutes straight at 6.5 mph)

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27- 195.0- Good start. Let's keep going! No more eating out. I'm going to plan out everything I'm going to eat tomorrow and follow through since I'm the one making food.
7/28- 194.8- I'm glad it's still going in the right direction. Still doing well. My grandparents are coming over tomorrow and staying for a week so I don't know how that's going to affect this but it shouldn't too much to be honest. We'll see. Still going to stay under.
7/29- 195.0- I drank water before this weigh-in on accident so maybe I'm the same as before? Lol can't be for sure.
7/30- No weigh in. Unfortunately, I didn't have access to my scale since my grandparents are in my room. I'll go take my scale and take it with me to the basement where I'm staying. I might update with a weigh-in later today but otherwise I will just do it tomorrow.
7/31- 193.7- Woohoo! Happy about this weigh-in. Make me feel like I can get to 191.0 by the end of the challenge. Also, I think this is an NSV because yesterday I was very tired and needed to study and wanted to get a coffee in order to stay up a little longer but I'm the type that can't drink coffee unless it has milk and has sugar in it so I knew that would add extra calories that I didn't need since I'd already hit my goal. I decided against it even though I was strongly considering it and even told my brother I'd get a coffee. So had no coffee! But might get one today since I have my exam tomorrow morning! Please wish me luck!
8/01- 193.8- Not bad since I didn't eat that great yesterday due to exam.
8/02- Unable to weigh in because I had to go to school and was rushed. We'll see tomorrow. Basically under my goal today and went to the gym. GUYS I MET MY GOAL OF RUNNING FOR 4 MINUTES STRAIGHT at 6.5 mph! Next going to get to 5 minutes straight! It's fun to make progress. Makes you want to keep going to reach your next small goal. Kind of like weightloss too.

Make your own homemade pizza, low calorie style or low carb style (whichever diet you are on). Lots of great recipes on youtube and pinterest. Then just heat yours up and have pizza with the gang. It's okay to get your pizza and eat it too! Best of luck.
