Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 149.4 Head back in the game after this maintenance trend since round 53. I do feel really good at this weight, but would like to drop a little bit more before I call it official. I don't want my maintenance to fluctuate so close to the next decade!!
10/16 DNW I had a meeting with my staff yesterday and they surprised me with a feast of homemade food, so pretty much threw in the towel as I had to fully indulge and appreciate the love that was given through their food. Scared to step on the scale, only the second time this has happened on this journey. I feel so bloated today, but such is life. I plan on a today being a great day!
10/17 150.6 Did really well yesterday, this is the fallout from the weigh in I skipped. I am pre tracking my food today, walking the hill, drinking at least 12 of my big 14 oz glasses of water today, and practicing gratitude.
Looking to get out of maintenance to lose these last 10 or so lbs. My body feels good except for the inevitable AM bloat from eating carbs I think. Planned my day based on hitting my protein goals first.
10/18 148.8 Yay! Pretracking works, driniking lots of water works! got in about 98 oz yesterday, which is not quite the lofty goal I set but had me consciously drinking more and often. Only downside is dreams at night of having to pee and getting up too many times. But I'll take this lower number in exchange anyday! Plan on repeating the plan today, with a mini goal of getting to 147.xx this round. Have a great day everyone!
10/19 148.8 The road to somewhere?? is paved with good intentions...twins came over last night and spent the evening holding babies, DH cooked, son made empanadas, caved for warm bread lathered in butter and ice cream...new day today. Not going to bat myself on the head, instead just embrace today as a new day! After a day like yesterday I definitely don't feel hungry today, which is a good thing since I will need to have a low cal day to balance out yesterday's fun! Lots of water is the intent again today.
10/20 150.6 Cause and effect. And there it is, 2 days later. Lots of water again today and pretracking.
10/21 150.6 Did good until I didn't.

This is my third round. I think the best part of this challenge is that in recording the weight every day with a comment, I talk myself down from the hype that comes with weighing myself every day. It’s so easy to have the scale affect my mood. This challenge reminds me that my goal for the 10 days is to lose 1.5 – 3 lbs and puts the scale—the ups, the downs, the lack of movement, the ups and downs…into perspective! Thanks everyone and good luck this round!

10/15 – 171 - Hopefully that means yesterday’s number wasn’t a fluke!
10/16 – 172 – High carb day yesterday & just within calories. My stomach is also a bit off.
10/17 - 173 - Short walk yesterday, missed the gym cause I was at the eye doctor.
10/18 - 172.5 - No gym or walk. Waiting for a package....and then it was raining. Did not eat well. Time to get back on track.
10/19 - 173 - Sigh. Hope this is just like the last 10 days...the up before the down. Exercised & walked yesterday, ate within goals.
10/20 - 170.5 - That's what I'm looking for! Did all the right things yesterday.
10/21 - 171 - Was at my son's band competition all day. Had an omelet for breakfast....and then cheese sticks & nuts at the competition and chia pudding when I got home. I pre-weighed the nuts, so all was fine calorie-wise. I'm thinking the up might be dehydration/sodium....Still planning on coming down before the end of the round!

@abowersgirl love your post, thank you, you are so right about the mentality. Unless you're in it with your head and heart and legs, you will not feel all that accomplished.
And well done on dealing with depression, I'm a new to it as a close-up bystander, but it is a b*tch to acknowledge, deal with and live with and I have the utmost respect for everyone who is doing just that. Big hug and keep up your phenomenal work!5 -

The goal for this Round: 71.5
New goal for this Round 70.00kg
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 - 73.6kg - I've been indulging in too many carbs. IF + challenge to get me back on track.
10/16 - 72.9kg - As suspected, eating too many carbs made me retain water. Tonight I have gym, curious to see my numbers tomorrow morning.
10/17 - 72.00kg - This still must be water weight. Feeling better and more energetic! Gym sesh was great, that might've helped. I'm gonna try adding keto principles to my diet. It seems as much as I love 'em, carbs make weight loss much harder and longer for me. Anyone else on keto?
10/18 - 71.8kg - ok, now I'm hopeful.
I just might end this on 71.5kg. Keto day 1 went ok, not hungry, just my mind playing tricks on me and wanting carbs. Today gym again. Hoping to see the scale move a bit down tomorrow as well. I'm about to travel to the USA for 2 months, so I'm trying to ditch these last few kgs before I leave.
10/19 - 70.80kg - Whoop!
10/20 - 70.80kg - Given that I drank more than I should last night (white wine) this is actually all good. Today I blew through my carbs and ate way too many. Expecting the scale to show that tomorrow, but it's ok, it'll come back down. If I can end this challenge on 70.00 I'll be thrilled. SO close to my goal but it seems so far away! One day at the time. Deep breaths.
10/21 - 71.00kg - Expected! My SO is sick these 2 days, that is throwing us both off. I'm good with kcals and I did IF but again carbs were way up. Tomorrow is gym again. Carbs are just so darn comforting, and when I'm in the ditch like these 2 days that's what I want. Warm bread and pastries. Reminder to self: you want to reach your goal MORE than you want to indulge in food. Trying to keep that in mind. Tomorrow is a new day, let's try again.

15/10 Back to work today after a long weekend, I have been really struggling with discipline the last week or two and it's not like I've a particularly strict plan to start with, my heads just not been in the game. Need to try and focus on alternatives to stress/emotional eating. I know I can do it, because I've done it before, however, sometimes it's just easier said than done. Here's to a better week, goals for today hit calorie goal and get out for a run.
16/10 I signed up to Healthy Wage yesterday, I've tried DietBet before I liked the concept but did not like how rigidly it expected the weight to come off, especially as I have huge water weight swings around ovulation/shark week, so I've set myself up to lose 30lbs over the next year, I will pay in $30 per month and if I hit my goal by the end I get $855 and can extend if needed. Hoping it will give me that extra nudge to the lose the 2nd half. Goals for today - get some strength training done and make sensible choices on business travel this evening/tomorrow.
18/10 Got a quick 20 minute weight session in before leaving work to travel on Tuesday, lifted really heavy to make up for the short time, ate reasonably well over the 2 days I was away and managed to even get a quick row in on the river yesterday evening when I got home.Today's goals - have an active rest day, get my steps in, hit my calorie and protein targets.
19/10 Had a lovely rest day yesterday, went way over on calories but over the week it's not so bad. Protein was spot on and got my steps in.Today's goals are to get a lunchtime weight session in and try to stay sensible when I am out this evening.
20/10 Got my weights session in after work, stuck with just 2 bottles of beer when I was out before hitting the diet coke. Today's goals are to hit my steps and eat well.
21/10 Just slightly over calorie deficit yesterday and got my steps in. Today's goal was to get a decent hike in and make sure I've hit my protein target for the week.9 -

10/15 - 193.5 woohoo! Started to change my habit of eating a snack after 10pm.. I don’t go to sleep until 1am but I’m sure late night snacking is not helping.
10/16 - 192.5 is not night snacking that effective?? Maybe it’s avoiding peanut butter.. I’ve been kind of obsessed lately lol
10/17 - 192.5! Alright! It’s real!
10/18 - 192.5
10/19 - 191.5 I don’t think I’m eating enough... haven’t had a chance to eat all that I need to. Very sick toddler and a baby.. I’m exhausted
10/20 - didn’t weigh
10/21 - 195 omg. Had a wedding yesterday and went totally overboard.. also the water tasted so gross I didn’t drink any all day or night. Hopefully tomorrow’s weigh in will bring me back

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 - 80.1kg, I expected my weight to go up a little. Bit too much sodium at dinner. I’m okay with this though! Still going strong with IF, eating 1200cals and drinking at least 1.5L of water. I’m feeling incredibly motivated and excited for this round
10/16 - 79.5kg !!! I feel like I’ll plateau around this number for a few days but happy to see it come down, and feeling much less bloated than yesterday
10/17 - 79.6kg, expected! Okay with it! I haven’t had coffee for two days and I’ve noticed I’ve not been so ‘regular’, which is probably contributing as well
10/18 - 79.5kg
10/19 - 79.4kg, happy with this considering I went a little over calories last night and probably had a bit too much sodium. I drank so much water though, over 2L!
10/20 - 79.2kg, glad the scales keep going down! Just doing everything I know I should, and it’s working
10/21 - 79.2kg, pretty happy to still be here. I had a very big night with too many drinks and basically no water all day
I saved 400 calories for the evening after my alcohol but I still drank more and my body was not happy on the way home!!! I’ll likely go over my calories today nursing this hangover but I definitely need it
10/22 - 79.4kg, this was predicted as I went a bit wild yesterday. I’m okay with it though. I haven’t had a ‘cheat day’ since starting and allowed myself to just eat what I wanted. I can recognise how much better I feel when counting/eating healthier food. Straight back to it today! I have a salad made for lunch, and back to IF.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15: 193.3! I’m very pleased with myself right now. Will be doing a lower body workout and yoga today.
10/16: 194. Bleh. Did yoga for zombies yesterday because I was short on time. Doing Day 1 of the 30 days of yoga today. Also going for a run. Did a little low intensity water walking with my mom, who has health issues. Hoping the scales will go back down tomorrow.
10/17:194.4. Ate garbage, didn’t get enough sleep, feel like garbage. Youtube was down when I was about to start my 30 days of yoga, and by the time I found the workaround, it was too late in the night. Will start it tonight after strength training. Bleh. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
10/18: 194.4. Got more sleep. Will hopefully see a loss tomorrow. Day 2/30.
10/19: 195.9. Just water weight. Too much salt yesterday. Drinking a lot of water to compensate.
10/20: 194.1. Was too busy to update.
10/21: 194.1. Feeling really nauseous. Hoping I won’t get really sick. Haven’t been drinking enough water or exercising. Also, being down half a pound from the week’s starting weight is nice.

10/15 - 150 - No surprise there, I had spaghetti both Saturday and Sunday night (within calories) and very little water.
10/16 - 149.5 - Nice to see this morning. More water today!
10/17 - 149 - I'm having lunch with a client today, so I'm glad I'm down a little more. He's taking me to a private restaurant at his club, so there is no online menu for me to pre-plan my meal. Nine months ago I wouldn't have though twice about it. Now, I'm going to take the advice that I've learned here and make the best choices I can to mitigate the damages for tomorrow's weigh in.
10/18 - 148 - Surprise! I ordered the baked cod for my business lunch yesterday (it would not have been my choice earlier this year) and this morning I'm happy I did.
10/19 - 148 - I fully expected a bounce back this morning as that is usually what happens after a new low. This is a nice weight to go into the weekend for me.
10/20 - 147.5 - Wow, I had a piece of pizza last night and expected the sodium to bump me up. It will probably hit tomorrow. I will say that having just adopted our new dog last week, my steps have definitely gone up. If I think about it, my weight loss started slowing too when our old dog died in July. I've read before how a dog helps people stay fit, it just never occurred to me that our previous dog probably kept me from gaining even more weight.
10/21 - 147.5 - I ate at maintenance calories yesterday and weight loss calories today, but I had a lot of sodium so tomorrow I'll probably see a bump up.

🎀 10/15 - 180.2 - Still tired lol. 65g carbs, 52g net carbs. Last night I thought I would have a good report on carb intake, then I remembered the bread and butter that I ate with my DGD, smh. I have some reading to do on the last thread.
🎀10/16 - 181.6 - I have been neglecting my electrolytes. Sodium and potassium have been very low for the past 2 weeks. Probably also contributing to my tiredness. Carbs were higher than 25g yesterday, but I can go as high as 50g without a problem. So, the plan is electrolytes twice a day until my body adjusts.
🎀10/17 - 179.8 - Electrolytes X 2✔ 10 hours of sleep?!✔✔ That NEVER happens. Still tired though, lol. Inadvertently, I did a sort of egg fast. My first meal, I ate 2 boiled eggs that were sitting in the fridge with some cheddar cheese. I wasn't in the mood for the dinner that I prepared, so my second meal was an omelette filled with spinach and arugula.
🎀10/18 - Scale weight was all over the place this morning. Started with 172, ten times! Ended with 180.2, three times. Other numbers in between. Hopeful that it will settle tomorrow.
🎀10/19 - 178.2 - I went to bed at 9pm last night. I've been slowly decreasing the carb grams back to keto level this week and increasing the fat. Drinking my electrolytes. Sunday was 65g carbs, 52g net carbs. Yesterday was 22g carbs, 18g net carbs. Also, getting back to 16/8 and 20/4 intermittent fasting. IF was not consistent daily while I worked on the project for my friend.
🎀 10/20 - 177.6
🎀10/21 - 178.2 - A litttle bit higher carbs yesterday, but not enough to cause this weight uptick. Just normal. Celebrating my Grandson's birthday today. He turned 2 yesterday. I have no clue what the carb grams could be today. Taking a fatty dip and vegetables with me. Tomorrow, the rest of the carby story. Smh.

10/15 - 259.6 hit the gym today - cardio and arms. Steps - 20,951
10/16 - 259.2 - feeling a bit stuck lately I didn’t plan meals super well today, and we eat dinner super early for hubby’s schedule, so I went over calories with some junk food after the kids went to bed. I really want to learn how to have a little treat, but keep it under control and no gym today, just regular life and walking around the park - steps - 16,496
10/17 - 258.9 - I am proud of myself for saying ‘no’ to desert after lunch, and exercising instead!! First day in a long time I did not hit my step goal -13,566 (goal of 15k)
10/18 - 257.9 - my daughter has strep, so today’s workout was a yard work workout 😅 exhausting! 19,409 steps
10/19 - 257.9
10/20 - 257.8 did not eat well today at all - some of the kids left over macaroni and cheese for lunch, and some free pizza for dinner. I need to plan my meals better so I don’t fall into the ‘easy’ trap.

On the day of my fall & arm break, my weight was 157.8. Immediately after, it went to 161, and after surgery, it immediately went up to 165.8. All Along, despite being hugely disappointed with the weight gain, I kept walking/exercising and tracking all of my food carefully. I hope it was just water.
Today was my Reward.
Only 7 pounds to my Final Goal Weight!!

Round 55 (my round 2) SW 183 FW 182
Round 56 (my round 3) SW 182 goal 179
10/15 182 trying to get motivated to workout this morning!
10/16 I didn’t workout yesterday and didn’t weigh in this morning. I haven’t been feeling well since the weekend so I’m just focusing on eating healthy and staying close to calories. Hopefully I’ll feel better by tonight for my workout!
10/17 183.3 up 1.3 lbs. and I’m not surprised. I hadn’t been feeling well, so was not as active as I usually am, I ate at maintenance yesterday and had two pieces of Halloween candy. Ugh. But today I am feeling back to 100% and had a great workout this morning, and I’m back to my regular healthy eating.
10/19 182 back down, whew! I was worried. I have a busy day today so will keep my calories low. Today is my rest day so I’m not working out today. Hardest thing is the Halloween candy that is invading my house!! My plan is that instead of candy I’ve made a list of ‘things to do’ around the house, for example - I cleaned out the pantry yesterday, next is storing my summer sandals and getting out all of my booties. Gonna feel so good!
10/20 181 and I cant even believe it! I ate two small slices of previously frozen pizza plus a salad last night for dinner, then had a glass of apple cider (at an event later) and I thought just that - and only that - would do me in. Usually this is how it works for me. Maybe all the super low cal stuff I did for the past two weeks has jump started my metabolism. Also perhaps I think that my lymph system doesn’t work any longer. I have been doing some self massage and maybe that’s making it all flow better. Whatever it is that’s now working, I’ll take it! But I would like to know for the future me. So, I guess the story and experiment continues!
10/21 I didn’t weigh in today. I got up and started working on making chili and a cake. We had a family birthday party today. I had one too many bowls of chili, and two too many pieces of cake. Oh well. I skipped breakfast and snacked for lunch, and was just very active around the house with cleaning and getting set up for the party - so hopefully all of that will help for the weigh in tomorrow morning. 🤞

ROUND 56 (Round 3 for me)
5’5” 65 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Third week on Keto WOE and impressed with decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain. Yay!
Round 54 – SW 178 lb. down to 171.8 lb. (6.2 lb. loss) This was my beginning of eating keto and tracking calories.
Round 55 – Finished at 170.0 (1.8 lb. loss)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 169.2 This is the number I wanted to see yesterday, but today’s good, too. It was raining when I woke up for my walk with Thor (my GSD). So, we slept another 1½ hours, and it was still raining. I’ll have to exercise inside today. Thor can run in the yard, and I’ll dry him off. I’m happy I mowed my yard and burned my brush piles before the rain started. I'd rather work outside, but I'll bake oatmeal cookies for my thin husband, cook Turkey Cabbage Stew to portion out and freeze, and do my husband's ironing so he'll look well cared for. After the rain stops—plant winter garden. Praying for a blessed day for all you fellow losers! I love being a (weight) loser.
10/16 168.4 Unexpected! I hope it doesn’t come back tomorrow. I have lunch at the women’s club meeting today—good time to practice restraint in preparation for the 10-day tour in New England states next month.
10/17 167.4 Really? Just to be sure, I got on the scale again, and verified the number. I’m keeping it! Thor and I did our 3+ mile walk this cool morning. The side is kinda blown out on my right walking boot, but I didn’t wear my newer pair because I realized this lets my toes spread and prevents the pain from my Norton’s Neuroma (small tumor between my toes). The Lord blesses me in mysterious ways. 😊 I think I can credit this keto WOE for less arthritis pain in my back/hips and shoulder. Even if I wasn’t losing weight, it’s worth being able to get more done without pain.
10/18 167.4 I’m good with no change today. Didn’t get to walk today, but I had a great day hanging out with friends. I turned down sweets, but had a glass of wine. I hope it doesn’t haunt me tomorrow.
10/19 167.0 I like the way this is going! Thor and I got in our 3.2 mile walk today. Rain drops began falling on our heads before we reached the half-way point, but we didn’t let it stop us. The rain stopped, and the walk was enjoyable. When we started, herds of cattle would trot to the fence along the road to see if we had anything for them. Now, they’re used to us and just glance up and go back to grazing. 😊
10/20 167.4 The scale giveth and the scale taketh away. I prefer “taketh away.” (Sigh) I stuffed myself to get over 1000 calories last night. Perhaps I shouldn’t have bothered. No walk with Thor today, but a nice day with my husband--Gosnell movie, lunch, and shopping. I'm glad they put Dr. Gosnell away for life, but I'm afraid there are more "doctors" like him in other cities.
10/21 167.6 I may have to buy a new scale. I feel cheated. Oh, well. I had an early start this morning and met the gospel group I sing with for a couple of engagements today. It was a long, but enjoyable day. I can walk tomorrow morning, and, perhaps, the scale will behave better in a couple of days. If I don’t get better numbers before the end of the round—out it goes!

UGW 150-175
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15/ 208.8#. I found that 19 ounces of squash with a little butter and sugar is about 300 calories. Very filling and helped my stay under my calories.
10/16 207.6#. (-1.2) Started my day tired. Met someone for lunch, so I splurged. I stayed under my allotted calories for the day. 🤩
10/17 208.2# (0.6#) still down half a pound from the start. Not going to fret about it. Got some exercise in. Went over my allotted calories, but stayed under 2,000 so I'm good with that.
10/18 208.4# (0.2#) tried to drink more water today. I've been very bad about water and have only been drinking about half. 3rd day in a row for eating out.
10/19 208.8#. Back to my starting weight on Monday. BUT I am down 2.6# from last Friday! I am eating out for supper tonight. Planning on bringing my own homemade dressing though. Can't wait! Ate so much today. Completely went nuts. Felt terrible ALL day. 😖🤢🤯
10/20 208.6#. I think I've been eating too much sugar or fat. I've had quite a bit of heartburn the last couple of days.
10/21 207.6#. Plesant surprise, I was actually expecting this to be up today. I'm happy with how today went. Still battling heartburn. I'll have to try to pinpoint it.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 = 141.7 (up .4 from yesterday) Spent the day at a Corn Maze/Pumpkin Patch, no healthy choices so did small portions. Expected a small bump up from this.
10/16 = 141.9 (up .2 from yesterday) Ugh! Not off to the best start this round, went out for Asian food last night, again just kept to small portions, a slice of scallion pancake and a small portion of sesame chicken with rice. I have Cookbook club tomorrow night (dinner party where everyone cooks & brings a dish from the selected cookbook) so trying to keep my nutrition really tight today in anticipation of another bounce up from that on Thursday morning's weigh-in. I have day 73 of 90 workout on the schedule for today as well, looking forward to a good sweaty workout. Lots of water today, trying to flush out the sodium from the previous days.
10/17 = Did not weigh in. I weigh in 1st thing in the morning and yesterday as soon as I got up was dealing immediately with some compulsive issues with my daughter that happened while she was supposed to be sleeping the previous night. She took everything with a battery (night light, alarm clock, her cell phone), removed the batteries, which she hid, and then put everything in her trash can, which she filled with water. Not a great start to the day but the bright side is, she was not in an agitated state, was actually in a decent mood, so while the medication is not helping 100% with her OCD at least she was not experiencing anxiety along with it. "Look for the positives in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder".
10/18 = 144.0 (up 2.1 lbs) I know this is a not a real gain and I was expecting this bump up as last night was Cookbook Club - so not upset by this, it will drop down back down in a couple of days. The cookbook for last night was Magnolia Table from Joanna Gaines (from HGTV's Fixer Upper). I made her recipe for Flatbread Pizza with Prosciutto and New Potatoes and also her Layered Arugula Salad with Pear Vinaigrette. Both were really good, the salad will definitely make again. It has arugula, pears, pomegranate arils, candied walnuts, & goat cheese, along with a tangy vinaigrette, just had some leftovers for lunch, delicious! The other dishes were Baked Bruschetta with Tomato, Basil & Fontina, Baked Chicken with Bacon Bottom and Wild Rice, Scalloped Potatoes, Gruyere & Asparagus Quiche, Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Pecans, & Balsamic Reduction + Lemon Pie, Chocolate Chip Cookies & Shortbread Cookies. A 2 lb. uptick on the scale, NOT SURPRISING But, it was my only meal of the day and everything was a polite portion, not binge eating. Lots of water today, along with yoga and my typical food choices and tomorrow the scale should drop some of this. A fun evening and we only do these 5-6 times a year, so I am glad I was able to partake, guilt free and be right back on track today with the choices I make. I'll end on a super positive note...wore new pair of pants last night which were a size 4!!!!!! "Work out, eat well, be patient, your body will reward you."
10/19 Did not weigh in
10/20 Did not weigh in
10/21 142.9 (down 1.1 lbs, still up 1.6 lbs) Super busy past couple of days, no time to check in, haven't been logging, no exercising, but trying to just practice intuitive eating. My ankle feels almost 100% healed, I wanted to run this weekend but my husband said to give it another week. Tomorrow starts a new week, & I think I am ready (sprained ankle wise) to be 100% back in my workout program and start running again. I know as soon as I can resume my full exercise program, my nutrition will fall back in line. The low 140's have been difficult to get out of but I still have a bit of weight to lose and my next goal is to get to into the 130's. I don't think this will happen this round, but I need to re-group and make this happen for the next round. I'm not done yet.

23/10: xxxxx: Goals
24/10: xxxxx: Goals
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.

Round one for me! Let's do this!
Round 56 sw-214.0lb
Round 56 ew goal-212lb
Day/Weight/comment
10/15- 214.0lb- Been out walking for an hour and a half this morning, I will add another 45mins to that later when I walk my dog. Feeling motivated!
10/16- 213.8lb- Feeling absolutely knackered today, I got a really bad nights sleep last night due to my youngest child being a little wotsit. I just hope that doesn't derail my eating plan for today. I will only be doing housework and walking the dog later.
10/17- 213.0lb- Another bad night with the little one, I ended up having more snacks than I intended last night, ended on my bmr though so not awful. Doing a food shop in the minute, I'm going to make smart choices.
10/18- 213.8lb- I had a really good day yesterday, plenty of walking and I stuck to my calorie goals. I'm going to make an effort to drink plenty today.
10/19- 212.8lb- A very undeserved weigh in this morning as I went on a bit of a binge last night. I'm not going to beat myself up about it but I am going to stick to my calorie goals today and just carry on, I have been known for one binge day turning into a binge week and then a month so the most important thing I can do today is to forget yesterday and carry on as if it didn't happen. On a plus note I walked over 12000steps yesterday, that's pretty good for me.
10/20- 212.6lb- Another low for me. I feel abit bloated and hormonal today. I stuck to my calorie goals yesterday and did over 10,000 steps. Today is going to be another controlled day calorie wise but I am not sure if I will get time to do much walking, perhaps a few strength exercises when kids go to bed later.
10/21- 213.0lb- Abit of a gain on the scales today but I also started my period so that could be the culprit.
10/22- 212.0lb- Reached my goal for this round, now the scales must play nice for the next few days and keep me here. I did well on the calorie front yesterday and got in most of my steps. Today is a low calorie day and I will reach 10,000steps!

OSW: 74kg May 2018
GW: below 70kg in Oct and stay there
UGW: below 65 by end of the year
Rounds 47-55 EW: 73-70.5kg10/15 70kg oh wow, but then, i didn't have dinner yesterday. Went boxing in the morning, then for brunch, where we started drinking, ended up far too drunk and in bed by about 9.30pm... So this weight is after a very long sleep, let's see what tomorrow brings.10/21 70kg!!! YAY, let's see if it sticks.
I'm off this week, which means I'll be able to exercise more, but also have to make mors of an effort to get my steps done. Today is a hung over rest day.
10/16 71kg - to be expected. I felt very sorry for myself yesterday and ended up not logging after lunch. I had loads of snacks in the eve but at least made it out for a walk to get my steps in despite being very sore from Sunday's boxing. Today started well, off work, so had a lie in, did some yoga befor weighing and breakfst and will either run or go boxing again tonight.
10/17 71kg still. Under cals yesterday, but quite a bit of exercise, however my run wasn't very successful. I stopped and walked after around 20mins, but went boxing in the eve - I think this is becoming an addiction... While I don't log boxing cals, I managed to get quite a few from the long walk and running a few errands. Also did Yoga in the morning and will get ready for day 2 now.
I didn't know there was an Adriene app, installed immediately, thanks bubblegumtofit
10/18 - 71kg still but I know why. Not going to work this week means I have to put extra effort in to make my step goals, which I didn't yesterday. It was also a rest day, but I ate like it was a very busy work out day, I just wanted things all afternoon and evening. Today, I'm posting very late, started with day 3 of adriene's yoga this morning, then went for a run this afternoon. It took quite a while to get into it, I haven't run as much as I wanted cos I'm so hooked on boxing these days. It really showed me how different muscle groups are used on different work outs. While I feel i'm making progress boxing and with the drills, running wasn't very good two days ago and still quite stiff today. I need to balance workouts more.
My motivation to log is a bit low, but this group is keeping me accountable.
10/19 71kg - oh boy, i'm self sabotaging. I can see my body changing for the better and my fitness improving, which is like giving myself a free ride to eat. Then I think I really need to get this back under control, while buying cheesecake for dessert after I had a burger! What is wrong with me?
I know being at home and in limbo about what I'll do next job-wise isn't helping. But come on!
At least the exercise is ok, did yoga day 4 today and will go for a walk. My knee hurts a bit from yesterday's run, so I'll decide later on boxing.
Soery for the rant, but I need to write this down to see how silly it I am being.
10/20 70.5kg, it's moving!
Sooo, maybe all this overeating is my way to go? Haha I wish. It means that I'm not doing as badly as I keep thinking.
I forget that I'm not just losing weight - however slowly and unlinear - I've also reversed gaining more, which should count for something.
Other wins are that I have also increased my exercise, reduced mindless snacking, emotional/stress-related eating and overall feel much better. The last few months have been slow for losing weight, but, and I have to say it again, I've reversed gaining! And that despite quite a few stressors - husband's slow path into depression and the start of treatment, increasing unhappiness about my job which lead to quitting, acknowledging that it's ok not be ok, an uncertainty and anxiety over what i'll do next for work, possibly going to Zambia for 3 months, almost having to make the decision to put down our kitten, family stuff. I know we all have our stuff to deal with and I have a tendency to play mine down. Writing here helps me tremendously, so does knowing that others have their own challenges and struggles and I thank you for sharing, commenting and reading.
Anyway, enough of that from me, have a lovely day, London has been beautiful these last couple of days and I'm giving myself a day of logging after all this self reflection (I already went for brunch with hubby and probably dinner at our friends').
Really enjoyed my day off logging and satisfied my cravings. I have noticed that many of the snacks ans sweets I used to eat are not as satisfying as they used to be. Which is good to know as I won't be wasting my calories on those going forward. Easy start to the day, but will go for a run in the lovely sunshine soon.
10/22 70kg - very happy with that! Halfway point to my goal
The dinner with friends from Sat was moved to yesterday, which I just quick added. I was sensible during the day and went for a run so had about 1100 left for dinner.
My husband noticed my loss yesterday - he's not that bothered as long as I don't get skinny, which I've never been. I finally feel like close to the me again that I am ok with. Now onto the next 3-7kg to get to the me I'm really happy with.

15/10 Back to work today after a long weekend, I have been really struggling with discipline the last week or two and it's not like I've a particularly strict plan to start with, my heads just not been in the game. Need to try and focus on alternatives to stress/emotional eating. I know I can do it, because I've done it before, however, sometimes it's just easier said than done. Here's to a better week, goals for today hit calorie goal and get out for a run
16/10 I signed up to Healthy Wage yesterday, I've tried DietBet before I liked the concept but did not like how rigidly it expected the weight to come off, especially as I have huge water weight swings around ovulation/shark week, so I've set myself up to lose 30lbs over the next year, I will pay in $30 per month and if I hit my goal by the end I get $855 and can extend if needed. Hoping it will give me that extra nudge to the lose the 2nd half. Goals for today - get some strength training done and make sensible choices on business travel this evening/tomorrow.
18/10 Got a quick 20 minute weight session in before leaving work to travel on Tuesday, lifted really heavy to make up for the short time, ate reasonably well over the 2 days I was away and managed to even get a quick row in on the river yesterday evening when I got home.Today's goals - have an active rest day, get my steps in, hit my calorie and protein targets.
19/10 Had a lovely rest day yesterday, went way over on calories but over the week it's not so bad. Protein was spot on and got my steps in.Today's goals are to get a lunchtime weight session in and try to stay sensible when I am out this evening.
20/10 Got my weights session in after work, stuck with just 2 bottles of beer when I was out before hitting the diet coke. Today's goals are to hit my steps and eat well.
21/10 Just slightly over calorie deficit yesterday and got my steps in. Today's goal was to get a decent hike in and make sure I've hit my protein target for the week.
22/10 Smashed all my weekly goals aside from my calorie deficit, I was at around 3300 calories under at the end of the week rather than 3500 so really not a bad effort, got yesterday's hike in and got a lot more protein than I was aiming for, win-win. Today's goals are to get out for a run, get this weeks food plan filled in and hit my protein intake.12 -

10/16
10/17-- 146.2. Coming back to the group for a while, especially to support a friend. I've been away for a while because I'm happy where I am. But it won't hurt me to lose a little more especially right here before the holidays.
10/18— 147.2 I knew those Fritos with chili last night were a bad idea! Oh well, gotta drink more water today because of it.
10/19— 147 Not enough exercise yesterday, but did ok on food. Too many meetings at work.
10/20— 146.2 Had a pretty good day today. Slowly chipping away at vacation weight gain.
10/21— 146.8 Had a good day yesterday and was expecting at least a little drop this morning, but it didn’t happen. But I WILL continue to stay the course!
