]Round 6 for me.. dropped out in the last round. Hoping to stay in this round. I'm packing as we soon should be moving into a new flat. I did manage to get down to 192, but I had a bad eating day yesterday ( not enough food) so my body has held on to its fat. Looking to get to 190lbs by the end of this round.
9/25-193- new NSV - fitting back into size 14!! So happy - so far 22lbs weigh dropped
9/26 193 lbs
9/27 192lbs hope this is the start of a downwards trend

@MadisonMolly2017 Yes, thank you for your post! It really helps to remind me that it is not about any "goal" number I have in my head, and reading your journey, that's what I am working towards. Small changes, living my life, habits forming, my body gradually getting back to a healthy weight. You are amazing, happy 1000!
Thank you @denswrex!
Yes when I was looking on the maintenance board on my fitness pal I saw how many people were saying it was even harder than when they were losing weight because there wasn’t the reward of the scale. So then it dawned me one night wow there is actually no end to this so if it takes a little longer it really doesn’t matter it just means I have more time to practice.10 -

A year ago, I weighed 205 lbs!
I begin this journey at the weight of 228.3 1,000 days ago!
I rarely need to use willpower or motivation, as 100’s of tiny habits I developed slowly over a long time carry me along!
Despite what people say about it gets harder as time goes on, this time I found quite the opposite: it’s been the easiest ever. I only wish The research on changing habits, all of these apps, and the Apple Watch had been invented earlier!
9/25 159.6 water weight from injury & brace I am wearing... all will be fine! Eating less than normal & still walking.
9/26 161 or 162, can’t remember...still retaining a lot of fluids as body responds to break, meds, bruising. Surgery in 7 days.
9/27. 160.4 ***1,000th Day ***
On average, I’ve lost 1/2 a lb per week for 143 weeks!!! 250 calorie deficit daily. Barely noticeable changes over 1,000 days yielded a total weight loss of 68-71 pounds!
Small habit changes + time = big results
Thank you @tiabirdie56 @quiltingjaine @fraukazi @allmannerofthings @abowersgirl @deepwoodslady & @cdavisdeva for your kind words!!! ♥
9/28 160.8 with brace, swelling. Confirm with Dr that I should be having some water retention so I’m more relaxed.

Round 54
Round 53 SW 201 EW 199.6
My goals are to stay under my calorie goal (1500 calories), 30 minute walk or exercise everyday, and drink 64 oz of water a day.
9/25- 199. Over calories. 60 minutes exercise. 64 oz water.
9/26- 200. Over calories. No exercise. 60 oz water.
9/27- 201. Yikes! Need to get back on track ASAP. Over calories. No exercise. 32 oz water.
9/28- 199. That's better. Over by 85 calories. A little improvement. 40 minutes of stationary bike. 24 oz water. I left home without my water cup and I haven't been eating as much in the beginning of the day and overeating at dinner. Need to be more aware and adjust my meal planning.

@heymossy Great outlook on a gain! Love it ❤3

In all, I want to drop 55 (so I have 51 and a half left now). I'm 5'6" and started weighing 185 lbs, so my goal is about 130. I'm trying to set small, realistic goals so that I can motivate myself with my successes.
My goal for this round is to stay under my calorie goal, 1200, and to lose 3 more pounds.
Round 53: SW: 185 EW: 182 (3 lbs lost)
Round 54: SW: 181.5:
Goal Weight for Round 54: 178.5
Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 181.5; 48 oz of water. 1,000 calories. I’M HUNGRY!!!!
9/26 - 181.2; Didn’t do very well on water intake today, but managed to consume only 1,000 calories. Keto diet is going well, eating lots of fat and around 20 grams of carbs.
9/27 - 182; Ugh. 128 oz of water. Purposely went over my calorie goal today to give my body a sort of restart. 31 grams of carbs. 1,779 calories.
9/28 - Still 182. 1 gallon of water. Ate slightly under 1,121 calories. 16 grams of carbs. Really frustrating that I can’t lose. Trying not to get too discouraged.

@MadisonMolly2017
Congratulations on your inspiring total loss. You are so right! Small permanent habit changes over time do make a difference. And technology makes it so much easier to keep track of food, exercise etc. And the support of fellow travellers is priceless.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Finally got around to using the SBMI calculator. Interesting results... Below is bullet points of results:
BMI = 23
Health aspects
Your weight is at the level that, in our view, should be optimal for health. By classification of the WHO, you are “normal weight".
SBMI = 34/70
This assessment is based on the newly developed Smart Body Mass Index. Its ideal range is between 30/70 and 39/70.
Your Smart Body Mass Index (SBMI) is calculated as 34/70 or "34 points out of 70".
Weight management?
This is no issue for you, luckily. But you may want to consider some suggestions that are well-advised, not only for weight reasons.
Your target weight of 120 pounds
You are already in your optimal weight range. Losing weight would add no benefit to your health.
Your current reduction diet
Your weight is below average: Do you really need this diet?
As with all calculating tools there is a margin of error. In this case I feel height, weight, and age are not enough body specific data for realistic results. The addition of body measurements would generate a more accurate picture. Attached is the calculator I've used for several years.
Do you have a link to this calculator that you could post?2 -

Round #54 SW: 192.0
Round #54 GW: 191.0

9/25 192.0 - I’m hoping this daily accountability will help me keep my eating in check
9/26: 194.8 - I have no words
9/27: 193.0 - Ate better yesterday & had my pilates class. Seemed to do the trick. Yay!
9/28: 193.2 - Soooooo disappointed. Did another pilates last night, ate good all day, felt “skinny” this morning & I’m up point two. Now I have to deal with the weekend. Yikes!
9/29: 192.6 - Pleasantly surprised but I’m thinking my weight change is a day or two behind my actions - be it exercise & eating right or just the opposite. I’ll enjoy my numbers today as tomorrow it will be a completely different story. I can’t remember what someone wrote in an earlier post but I liked it - something about the scale is just a number not my life. I’ll have to go back & find the correct quote. I’m going to start focusing on how I FEEL each day & not let the scale dictate that anymore.

9/25 177.6 I'm going to the dentist today. 😬 I'm hoping to still get 10,000 steps today!
9/26 176.4 My trip to the dentist was a little easier than I expected! And not only did I get 10,000 steps yesterday but I surpassed it! I ended the day at 11,289 which is great for a day off. I have to be really intentional about it on days off. I'm happy with it.
9/27 177.2 Water weight? I was under on calories yesterday.
9/28 177.6 Alright now...😒 I can tell that TOM is coming because I'm craving chocolate and sweets like crazy! I was able to have some chocolate yesterday and still be under calories. My son joined me in my evening walk last night which was nice!
9/29 177.6 I’m slightly annoyed by this number but I’m trying not to be. I know that I’m about to start TOM. It’s just frustrating when you’re consistently under calories and exercising. Hopefully in another couple of days it’ll start going back down again.

This round is week 2 of my dietitian-designed 6-8 week anti-inflammation elimination diet. Sticking to it and feeling much better already!
Goals:
Food ~~ Follow anti-inflammation elimination diet - learn new food tricks!
Exercise ~~ rebuild to 60-90 minutes/day of walking/swimming; restart weight training & yoga when joint pain subsides.
Weight ~~ no goal - happy anywhere between 130-140 for now, but continuing to lose to 130 would be great.

9/25 - 136.8 - 1186
Rainy day today, but I'm feeling enough better (no more joint pain!) to restart weight training, so off to the gym. The clothing purge continues as I break out the fall and winter clothes. I just sadly realized that my raincoat, which I love, is way too big. So sad -- NOT!
Happy day, all!
9/26 - 135.2 - 1309
Blow me over with a feather! I weighed myself 4 times with a scale reset to be sure this was right. Came out the same every time! I am trying to add some calories, but I'm also back to walking more. Anyway, I'm thinking my dream goal of 130 isn't impossible after all. I wish I knew which food I've eliminated has helped revive my downward trajectory. It can't all be water (although I feel much less puffy and didn't even know I was puffy). Keep at it, all - absolutely worth the effort!
9/27 - 135.6 - 1305
Okay, 35+ wasn't a fluke. I had more sodium than usual yesterday, so all good.
9/28 - 135.2 - 1111
Third time's a charm, so I guess it's real. I've finished the prednisone and feel great. I'm hoping to do some gardening this afternoon - I have a rose I want to move. Gorgeous morning! Have a lovely weekend, all!
