8/16- Did to much outside, and made my face swell I am having a hard time cutting down from steroids. Walking helps alot!
8/17- My steps were down today. Lack of sleep has been hard on me. I start my cut backs again so I don't take one steroid today and then tomorrow I take one they are very hard on me. I can hardly wait to be done with them.
8/18 - Still having a rough day! Goal for tomorrow going, outdoor a long walk! I don't know if cutting back steroids is making me swell n my face. But I have to go Monday to the doctors.
8/19 Feeling a lot better today. Walking steps 11,258. Eating healthier today.
8/20_ Went to the Cancer Hospital today had an appointment with my team doctor, I am doing 100%. She said I owe to keeping up with my normal day, Started my treatments the end of June and today included no symptoms at all. My test EEG brain waves was perfect which means no seizures. Now I am done there ,until November for MRI. I am very fortunate.

Round 4 for me. My goal for this round is to stay in onderland. On holiday at the moment so I'll start weighing in from the 19th, hopefully, I wouldn't have done much damage to my journey. Being mindful of my food choices.
8/16 away no scale
8/17 away no scale
8/18 away no scale.
8/19 196.5lbs - back from a well earnt rest. Pleased to see this number again, as I thought that I would put weight on during my time away. But instead a 2lb loss!! I have restarted with my water again, as I didn't keep it up when I was away, so it will be no surprise it the scale goes back up tomorrow. However, I'm feeling relaxed, peaceful and content with life, which is a great feeling to have.
8/20 197.5- to be expected as my body adjusts to the water I've been drinking

Day/Weight/Comment
16/08: 210.0 lbs … hotel scales. So it seems I’ve put on a bit during the road trip
17/08: 208.4 lbs … last morning at the hotel … final leg this afternoon.
18/08: 207.8 lbs … first weigh in back home → not a disaster! Overall gain of 2 lbs in 2 weeks
19/08: 207.2 lbs … getting better … Keep going DOWN please!
20/08: 206.2 lbs … wow! This is a quick post road-trip recovery! smile:
21/08: 205.6 lbs … okay, so eating out for 2 weeks = water weight I guess!!
22/08:
23/08: * want to see 205 ish soon ish*
24/08:
25/08: *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.

My metabolism suuuuuuucks
That's not your metabolism ... that's water retention due to high sodium in things such as pizzas.
You would have to eat 7000+ calories to gain 2.6 pounds in a night???? <--- this is everyone regardless of sodium. (Actually is 3,500 calories per pound of fat) that's science.

8/16-285.5 Well, 5 lbs down from starting weight a whooole lot more to go. Really wishing coworkers would stop bringing goodies. I've been pretty good about it, just trying a small portion.

8/16 85.6kg (+0.1kg) That's really fine after a 7 ounce lost overnight! I'm thinking of slowing down the weightloss, since I don't need to loose too much more weight (about 6kg/13lbs). On the other side, things go well and it isn't very hard on me to eat less. So not sure yet. I'm leaving in 4 weeks on a 3 week trip to Botswana and Namibia in Africa. Maybe I'll just continue till then the way I do now and slow down after the my vacation.... And how knows...... maybe I just don't wanna stop at 79 kilo's
8/17 85.9kg (+0.3kg) Went out on a lovely 5 course surpirse- dinner with my hubbie!
8/18 85.7kg (-0.2kg) The dog is back in the house, my steps per day goes up

8/16 72kg - almost within cals yesterday, walked 12k steps, but no other exercise. Skipped my run this morning as I needed the extra hour in bed after a bad night. Work takes priority this week before holidays
8/17 - 71 whoosh! It could be 70.5, but I don't want to get overly excited yet. Within cals yesterday, walked 11k steps and went for a short run this morning, only 20mins as per my 5-10k plan.
I had been planning to only eat back half my exercise cals back, but I struggle with that.
8/18 71kg despite some self sabotaging emotional eating yesterday. I ended up not logging.
Today is a travel day, only a short flight, but the whole trip still takes about 5hours and then sister's birthday party
8/19 holiday back home til 26th - 72kg on parent's digital scale. I'm not going to log food this week and just be mindful where possible. I will over eat, I know that and that's ok. I really want this holiday to be not stressful - logging unknown / never-logged / homemade foods would stress me.
I had a lovely time last night with lots of snacks and some drinks, but managed to go for my run today and will make more of an effort to get my 10k steps in. Moving to earn more cals is my strategy while here.
8/20 .. 72kg, weighed after breakfast, had wine and lots of snacks last night and already many baked goods today.
8/21 .. 72kg, i was starting to wonder if something is wrong with these scales, every time i step on them they show 72. I've not been logging and haven't moved much. But I found another scale in the house and it showed the same. I'm off for my run now, so will get more steps in today.17 -
I'm trying to shift the holiday kilos and then some, to get back to my usual maintenance weight.
This round I'll be focusing on:- getting my head around restricting calories again
- no snacking except the pre-logged snacks
- no alcohol
Target weight: 62kg
Target loss this round: -1kg

8/16 - 66.6kg - good day yesterday, stuck to the plan, drank plenty of water
8/17 - 66.2kg - another good day, routine is kicking back in
8/18 - 66.2kg - all good again yesterday, need to up the water though. Weekend's here, must stick to plan.
8/19 - 66.0kg - social gathering yesterday and said no to all the fingerfood, cake and free wine - woooo!
8/20 - 65.9kg - struggled terribly yesterday, needed all my willpower to stick with it. Feeling positive again now though
8/21 - 65.7kg - slow and steady wins the race, fingers crossed I can keep this rate going

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16: 70.1 - Okay okay, I've been putting off posting here today because the number is higher than I would like. Pretty sure it's just a fluctuation, completely normal and nothing to worry about. I say: worrying. Anyway, an okay day yesterday. Ate fine, but had a packaged wrap for lunch and Chinese takeaway for dinner. Both salty and would which pretty much explain gain on the scales this morning. Takeaway is always hard to account for, so I hope that I've over estimated, but I could well have underestimated. Also did a bunch of scraping wallpaper glue off the walls which probably would burn some of those potentially extra calories but I have no idea how to log those, so I've not bothered. Can't believe I'm over half way through my maintenance week already.
8/17: 69.6 - Well, that's more like it, very much on track to maintain well this week. Difficult day yesterday, spent quite some time being very nervous about the interview I had today (it went well I think) and so food thoughts were not my top priority. Drank plenty of water in a hope of sorting out the saltiness of the previous day. Food wise, a slightly odd day. Not hungry at all in the morning, so had a protein bar I keep in my desk for snacks at around 10:30 (way later than normal). Then ate leftover takeaway with some rice for lunch, which felt like it should've been more filling than it was, but was enjoyable to eat. Then was ravenous when I got home and so ate what ended up being a modest sized dinner fairly early then wasn't very hungry for the rest of the evening. In fact I had to munch on a packet of crisps to get me close to my goal allowance. Still a little under, but only just.
8/18: 69.9 - A late weigh in, so was probably a little lower, but I stayed at a friend's so didn't have scales until I got home. I was expecting it to be a bad day yesterday with dinner and wine at my friend's, but then we skipped dessert as we weren't hungry and ended up only a little over my goal.
8/19: 69.0 - (I actually started writing this yesterday, but then we were in the car and I can't look down in the car) I mean I'm happy, but at the same time, I know that it's a down flux so I'm not going on that. Besides, still supposed to be maintaining. Anyway, ate my lazy food and was expecting to be a little over, then dinner again was very small and then I was under what I wanted to have to for the day. Ate some crisps trying to bump up the calories, but still ended up under. I also spent about 4 hours painting our hallway and was completely shattered by the end of the day. Week at maintenance completed. I'm actually going to push going back to deficit one day for tomorrow as we have a BBQ and I'll probably go over anyway, so I might as well make it planned. Also, easier to start deficit for me on a Monday.
8/20: 69.4 - Went for a BBQ for lunch yesterday. I'm 100% certain I have under logged because there was lots of nibbles that I have no idea how much I had. However, we also did some playing football with my boyfriend's nephews and some diy in the evening, so burnt some more calories than I'm probably accounting for too. I also didn't eat anything other than lunch, so although it was all my calories for the day, it was also all I ate for the day. Avoided all the things that I didn't really want eat (cheese on my burger, bread, baps), to save room for the food I really did want (meat, meat, & more meat). So I felt like I managed the situation reasonably well.8/21: 69.5 - Back on the deficit. Forgot all my tricks to actually make a filling lunch and so had breakfast and lunch that were way too few calories and so I was ravenous all day (not making that mistake again today). When I ate dinner, I managed to have that "full, but also really hungry" feeling in my belly which was not very fun. I'm going to arbitrarily blame carbs because I had significantly less than I normally do. So I then had a slice of bread and felt much better. Judo in the evening, which I didn't eat back barely any of the calories for and yet I still felt overfull when training. All in all just a bit of a toughie yesterday trying to get back into the deficit.

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!

Female, 44 yo, 169 cm
R50 (second round for me:)
R49 results: starting 63.2kg, end 61.7 kg (-1.5 kg)
Target for this round is to go below 60 kg...59.9 would be an absolutely great result
Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 - 61.3 kg, yesterday had a very disciplined day after seing the morning weight slight increase. Low carb diet respected, 1 hour of yoga and no food after 18:00. Today I have a party , hope to keep drinks under control, We will see tomorrow morning the damages.
8/17 - 61.6 kg, small gain that is no surprise considering the 2 large beers that I have yesterday. I am happy there is no significant damage, back on track today & no party plans
8/18 - 61.1 kg, clean eating, no food after 18:00 and unfortunately no sport as my class was canceled.
8/19 - 60.7 kg, clean eating, low carb, yoga done and no food after 18:00. Had however a glass of white wine and I am happy that I didn't see it in the scale
8/20 - 60.8 kg, relatively clean eating but snacking too much, this is my challenge during the weekend, take few nuts, a cube of parmesan, again few nuts and didn't resist to a dry martini in the evening. So while I kept it under 20 carbs I think that I pushed a little bit on the calories side. On the positive side I have done my circuit class and started at home some arm exercises that I plan to do daily on top of the gym. Hoping to see my hidden muscles:)
8/21 - 61.4 kg, totally unexpected. I had a clean day , 21 carbs, 1100 cal and 3 liters of water + 1 class of TRX. I do not really understand what went wrong. I even was full of energy and cleaned my kitchen till 10 pm (my 14 yo son loves to cook and experiments in the kitchen but I need at least 1 hour of deep cleaning after he prepares something). I think that I was on the extreme side of energy as I was not able to sleep till 1 am and even after that I can remember that I moved from one side to another all night and now of course I can barely keep my eyes open. Hope tomorrow is a better day!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 This morning 137 pounds. Concert last night. My food was over my macros. Gym tonight.
8/17 - 136 pounds. Ran an hour last night. Food was on point except for late-night snack.
8/18 -133 pounds. Part of this is dehydration. Outdoor concert in the heat last night and a 40 min run this morning. I expect to see a bit of a rebound gain in the next few days.
8/19 - 133 pounds. No gym today. Relaxing and resting.
8/20 - 134 pounds. I knew I would see a bit of rebound. Back to the gym today.
8/21 – 132 pounds, Food was on point. Exception was a late-night snack (2 tablespoons peanut butter sugar free jelly with sugar free chocolate syrup) Hour run and 40 mins lifting.

8/16 - 156 - Wow, after all my whining last round, my weight suddenly seems to be moving in the right direction. I have a feeling this won't stick, but it sure is nice to see this number. I haven't seen this weight since 2001.
8/17 - 156.5 - Not too bad of a bounce back. I didn't get all my water in yesterday, so I'll be chugging it today.
8/18 - 156 - OK!
8/19 - 156 - I had a little extra salt today, so tomorrow may show it, but I'm really happy when my weight doesn't go up on the weekend!
8/20 - 155.5 - This is nice to see on a Monday morning!
8/21 - 155.5 - I'm holding steady and that's OK. I went into a slight panic this morning when I got in my office and realized I forgot to bring my half sandwich for lunch today. It's pretty funny because 6 months ago I would have used it as an excuse to go to the little restaurant next door and ordered their yummy ham and cheese sliders. Today, they've lost their appeal and I will make do with my banana, grapes, popcorn, and some crackers. It's amazing how the daily weigh in has changed my food choices/priorities.

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.

8/16 - 146.8 - saw this weight last round, will see if it sticks around this time.
8/17 - 146.8
8/18 - 148.0 when I woke up and 146.2 after I decided to go back to bed for a couple hours. Hoping the 146.2 is accurate but I also had a burger and booze last night so I see where 148 comes from. Either way I'm back on track today, Friday is always my relaxed evening when it comes to food and drinks because it's usually date night for me and my husband.
8/19 - 148.2 - I guess my body isn't ready to be rid of this number yet. I've lost pretty consistently since January though so being stuck here for a bit is ok.
8/20 - 149.0 - ok with being stuck but not gaining, so very frustrated. Kids start school tomorrow so things should be getting back on a pretty set schedule and I am definitely needing the consistency it'll bring.
8/21 148.0 - my weigh ins have moved to an hour earlier than I have been now that school has started and I have to get my son up early. Was completely expecting an increase and was going to be perfectly fine with it as I took the day off from work to spend a day out with my kids before the 1st day of school. It included pizza buffet and popcorn at the movies so still might see the increase tomorrow but going to eat as healthy as possible today and hope it doesn't jump again.

8/16 166.8 apparently my body likes this number lol. Ate 1200 calories last night ...right on the dot, never done that before. 80 min insanity and 2 liters of water. Overall a great day, no complaints. It has been two weeks since I last took my measurments so today I will have to do that
8/17 165.4 ate below my calorie goal but had a rest day with my exercise routine but did go on extra walks and did some HITT exercises for the first time. Drank 1 liter of water. Good day all in all.
8/18 164.8 my body is weird. I haven't seen a daily drop like this since my first round. Although I'm slightly skeptical because it happened so fast I'm still happy to see this number, even if it ends up being just for today. Ate under calories, exercised for an hour and drank 1 liter of water. I also took my measurment yesterday and in the past two weeks I lost an inch (everhwere). Not bad if I do say so myself. In-laws are coming for dinner tonight and although I will work hard to watch my portions, we will just have to see. *crosses fingers*
8/19-- 166.6. Last night I had a dinner party with the in laws at my place and although I stuck to my portions, ate tons of veggies and fruit for desert (plus exercised all morning before beginning the house cleaning and exercised after they had left) as the night wore on, the temptation of the food put out for the late night snacking took over. I ended up eating some cookies and after they had left potatoe pancakes (I blame my hubby for having the munchies) it's ok though. I am not as dissapoined as I thought I would be, probably because this wasn't necessarily a sabotage, just a moment of weakness and being up later than usual. I have no doubt it will come off in no time (hopefully faster then the other times I gained) 1 liter of water. Here is to a better day!!
8/20-- 165.4 ate well and exercised good. My body has been sore all weekend. It's started with my lower abs and yesterday my arms and calves, haven't felt this sore since I started working out. I was thinking of taking a day off but I am not crazy about the idea, so will probably do yoga and stretching. 1 liter of water. Have a great week everyone
8/21-- 164.8 wasn't hungry yesterday and exercised a lot. I was in a work out mood. Walked a lot, got 80 min of insanity in and even did some HITT exercises. I even had a weird energy boost at 12 30 am and worked out till 2. The only downside is I didn't get very much sleep. Hopefully I can just go to bed early tonight and feel better rested tomorrow. 1.2 liters of water. Hope everyone has a great day.

SW: Aug. 2016 -- 152
LW: May 2017 -- 120
GW: probably around 120 -- but I'd love to try to get even lower -- I must admit!
CW: When I weighed in on 8/15 I think I was 127.3....
Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 126.5 -- YES! Lowest weight in a year...so happy .... oh oh -- son is coming home for weekend before he
starts college for fall semester and that means lots of company and probably pizza....
8/17 127.1 -- creeping back up....oh no!
8/18 128.5 -- OH NO! So, this happens when you eat FOUR SLICES OF PIZZA late at night. What was I thinking?? (Well, it was thin crust and covered with arugula.) Anyway, I went to a 75 min. power yoga class this morning (after weighing in....) -- I do Baptiste yoga and it's done in a studio heated to 92 degrees -- we SWEAT -- which is good. Like I said in round 49 -- Do something that makes you sweat everyday.... trying to go down in pounds, not up!
8/19 -- 126.7 -- MUCH relieved this morning -- went out to brunch after yoga yesterday and had grilled shrimp, two overeasy eggs, and instead of grits (that was the menu item -- shrimp and grits!) they made me a beautiful garden salad -- greens, and veggies. No toast (gave it to hubby--it was beautiful three seed bread, but it came pre-buttered) and no salad dressing -- and it was EXACTLY what I wanted and needed! And that was early afternoon, so it was the meal of the day. Pretty much that and a glass of rose and life was great! Lesson learned -- ask for what you want and will feel good about eating. (They would have given me a piece of UN-buttered toast, but I didn't want it anyway...) I would love to get to 125 by the end of this round. Doing a power yoga class again this afternoon. Sweat everyday!
8/20-- 126.7
8/21-- 126.7 -- missed logging in yesterday, but no changes anyway. Son is back at college, I am back teaching college, and life goes on. Structure in the day, once again. Hopefully will see a little change tomorrow -- have not been to yoga in a few days -- and can't make it today either. Hopefully tomorrow!
