Day/Weight/Comment

7/27: 178.8. I won’t lie, this was a late weigh-in, but I’m taking it. I’m still playing nutritional roulette. Why? I know how critical it is for me to get my weight down and my nutrition on point. I’m in my 50s and I can’t afford to keep eating like a 11-year-old let loose in a junk food store. Today, for example, I had a banana in the morning, nothing all day and then a jam sandwich, diet coke and a piece of chocolate that my son bought for me. I’m way low on calories, but not given my body one bit of nutrition. No point in whining though. I’ll just start over right now. Onward ....

@sgrebensteib - welcome!! I also recently got a fit bit - it's made me more active and I play "challenges" on there which can be lots of fun ... If you want to "friend" me on fitbit just send me a PM - we can do things like "daily challenge" together - it's a lot of fun and doesn't push you to extremes or too hard. Just makes you mindful on that day to move a little more.

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.

Walked 3.98 miles with 9,393 steps. Did great today so tomorrow’s stats should be much better. Socializing makes it tough!

Focus for this round: 1g/kg/day Protein

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...

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.

REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

@denswrex, Welcome to the group. I love your long term goals and non food rewards. You can do this.
@quiltingjaine I didn't edit it from the last round. Lol! I noticed this morning and fixed it. By the by, I also track my average weight for the downward trend. It has helped me take a much healthier attitude to the daily ups and downs on the scale. The scale is now a valuable tool rather than an enemy. After all, it just reflects my actions.
