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!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25: 67.3 - Yesterday would have been a very good day, but then my partner took the chocolate bomb pudding (that's a uk definition of pudding) out of the freezer and then that's an extra 414kcals onto the day. However, still 200kcals under burn, so a deficit is a deficit. Did have to edit the main course so that it wasn't a stupid amount over, so I'm fairly happy that I actually ended up under at the end of the day. Honestly, although it was good, I'm not sure it was worth the calories, and it's not going to be something I'm going to have to worry about working into my calorie budget very often. However, it has been a long time since I've eaten a very gooey chocolate pud, so it certainly satisfied an itch.
10/26: 66.8 - Yaaaaaas, broke that 66.x barrier! Genuinely did a little jump this morning as celebration. Not counting my chickens though. I'm expecting the number to go back up into 67s tomorrow tbh. I'm not counting it as a number down untill I get at least three (sometimes two) consecutive days in that number. Yesterday was fine. I'm aware I barely drank anything during the day yesterday which isn't good. But I also felt satisfied with my breakfast and lunch, something that I've been struggling with lately. Made room for KFC and was only just over calories for the day. And although I'm never sure quite how accurate those calories given are, I should be reasonably safe as I, again, didn't eat the burger lid so that'll be saving maybe as much as 100kcals I've not accounted for, so I'm guessing that'll probably balance itself out
10/27: 66.9 - Very difficult day Friday. I had a funeral that was a really tough one. Ate loads at the wake, but then made up for it by ending up not eating dinner. But gosh there was a lot of cake.
10/28: Didn't weigh - I knew this was going to be a big one. So went to my niece's birthday party. A meal out: fish and chips and was surprised how full I felt and so I didn't actually eat it all. Although the fish was enormous and the batter was only okay, so I took a lot of it off and just ate the plain fish. Then back to their house for cake (which was delicious, but nutella icing, omg, so bad, but so good). Then off to my friends for a Halloween party. A bottle of wine and some nibbles later, pretty sure I've under logged.
10/29: 67.7 - Yeeeeaaaah. So I'm not surprised about that. After 3 high calorie days I'm fully expecting my weight to be fluctuating up. Yesterday was also not a very good day on the food. Hangover food day, and bottomless pit of a stomach. Ugh, very hard. However, slightly surprisingly I was actually under my maintenance calories for the day (according to my fitbit, which I've verified and is pretty accurate). My partner bought me 2 custard slices which I ate as breakfast and both are surprisingly less than other breakfast options. Then I ate both a ready meal curry and a full pizza for lunch, but then proceeded to be far too full to be able to eat very much for dinner, so it almost evened itself out. Hopefully that weight will lower down now I'm getting back to the lower calorie options again for today.

10/30: 67.7 - Weighed after breakfast so I'm probably more likely at least 0.5 lower than that, but still. Anyway, much happier with yesterday, ate well and 90 minutes of very hard judo. Quite sore this morning with an interesting selection of bruises and my shoulders achy, but love that feeling of working really hard. On top of that I also made my step target (doesn't always happen on training days as I have to take off my fitbit for training). So all in all and excellent day!

@lolakinks where are you? Hope you're still on it

@fraukazi Hi, thank you for reminding. Last week I had my birthday and ate like crazy a few days... And didn't want to weigh in and log any food. However, since this morning I'm back. I went to the gym this morning and I'm logging my food. I hope I join tomorrow or the day after.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 -78.6kg, I think I’m noticing a pattern here. I kind of stagnate or fluctuate down and up for a few days, and then drop suddenly and harshly. I think I like it! It sucks seeing the scales go up and up but rewarding when it finally drops to where it really should be, and I guess that’s why we track every day, to see these patterns
10/26 - 79.0kg, I ate over my calories by a lot yesterday. I regret it but it’s done! And not only did the scales go up, but I feel awful this morning. Lesson learned!
10/27 - 79.0kg, stayed under cals yesterday and drank loads of water!
10/28 - 78.7kg, happy to see this! 1200cals, plenty of water, happy days
10/29 - 78.5kg, very happy the scales continue to go down. It’s just good to know all of this is paying off and even if I don’t see immediate results physically, I can see them on the scales. I really do need to start exercising regularly though.
10/30 - 78kg, and the scales just keep going down! So pleased and so motivated!!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25— 145.8 I ate Mexican for lunch yesterday with a business group, but was very careful (but I do love Guacamole!) Then I binged on chocolate candy at our meeting and was ashamed of myself. However, I am SO proud of myself that I didn’t let that become a terrible day for the rest of the day! Instead, after that, I regained control of myself, got in extra exercise, drank lots of water and had only 5 broiled shrimp and some steamed veggies for dinner. As of right now, I did NOT gain! Lost .2 in fact. THAT is a success!
10/26—145.8 Thankful that it stayed the same. Was afraid that chocolate might show up this morning, but it didn’t. YAY! Raining hard here today, so outdoor steps will be a challenge.
10/27—145.2 Slow but steady. I’m good with that!
10/28—144.4 I’m so glad I have come back to this group! It really does help me focus and make better choices throughout the day. I’ve been in maintenance, but was slipping into some, not really bad habits, but habits that will not serve me well in the long haul. I think checking in here everyday will help me continue to be a healthier version of myself.
10/29—145.8 Well I knew that was too good to be true. Our bodies are such teasers sometimes, aren’t they? Will start chipping away at it again. My body has come to really love maintenance. Snacked on too many almonds yesterday and didn’t drink enough water.
10/30—145.8 This is my body’s favorite weight. I’ve been here a lot over the last few months during maintenance.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 182.7 lbs (-0.1)/ I ate a little bit over my caloric goal and had just over 1,500 calories for the day. I ate all healthy foods, but to be honest I probably put a little too much salt on my steak. I also had good news yesterday, I thought I had injured my back but the physical therapist touched my back and in less than a second said I had a huge knot and my muscles were just seizing up from it. He worked the knot out and the sharp pains were gone! He said I could go back to exercising and that it would actually be good for my back muscles to be engaged.

10/26 182.1 (-0.6)/ So I'm actually really proud of myself for yesterday. I ate 1,392 calories when I allow myself up to 1,500 (And sometimes a little over). I just simply was not hungry enough to eat anymore, this is big for me because I normally always feel hungry.

10/27 N/A I was unable to weigh in today. We were moving so I was very busy. I did keep to my daily calories during the busy day so I am proud of that. Will weigh in tomorrow.

10/28 182.4 (+0.3) With Moving we did end of eating some McDonalds. I did keep a deficit but I'm sure that the sodium was through the roof. So I was assuming this was a water weight influx.

10/29 N/A

10/30 181.9 (-0.5)/ Moving has been kinda crazy but I tried my best to stay at a calorie deficit (and I did!). Finished moving now so I can now be more focused on eating healthy and exercising.

10/25 191 -met my goal a day late! Did well with not over eating. QUESTION: how many hours before sleep do you all stop eating?
10/26 191
10/27 190.5 - not bad for the first trunk or treat night! Since I cut down on a lot of sugar recently, after eating a good amount of it last night I felt really anxious for some reason! All the more reason to quit sugar.. it really messes with me
10/28 191
10/29 192 at first I was wondering what the problem was here... why I’m gaining even though staying within calorie goal. Then I remembered... not all calories are created equal! This is the first weekend in months that we’ve eaten out most meals. I usually cook everything at home. Back to home cooked meals! No exceptions!!
10/30 191 I really don’t think I’m making it to my goal this time..

Round 56 SW - 207.4 EW - 206.8

Round 57
Oct 25 - 206.6 everything is going so well! I feel great. I hope I don’t mess it up today. I don’t have lunch or supper planned and have a Halloween dance at my daughters school.
Oct 26 - 206.2 I guess things worked out well yesterday. I found something for lunch and dinner that was within my range. At the Halloween dance there was no food which is a nice change - to go to an event that is really just about the fun of dressing up and the spirit of Halloween! Now the challenge of the weekend ahead! My goal is to try and get some time today to pre plan my meals.
Oct 27 - 207.4 I wasn’t going to post but I know by posting it will help me today. I guess I went a little overboard yesterday. It’s also the TOM so I’m hoping everything will be better tomorrow.
Oct 28 - 208.2
Oct 29 - 206.8 - I’m always amazed at how much salty foods affects my weight. One day of eating clean and drinking lots of water and it’s back down again. Feeling good and motivated to keep everything in check. Looking forward to getting a walk in at lunch. Lots of water and Sri into plan today.
Oct 30 -205.8. I don’t think this number is realistic. I had to make a rush trip to the mall last night to get my son a Halloween costume. I wasn’t expecting it and it took longer than I hoped. By the time I got home it was too late to eat dinner.

10/25 - 164.2 Great start, but I doubt it’ll last! We’ll see 😃 Headed to the doctor soon to have my blood pressure measured for 24h. My pulse and bp has been acting up like crazy when I exercise, so I had to have a careful exercise week. Going to the gym tomorrow, but will probably have to take it a bit slow

10/26 - 163.8 (-0.4) Wow, this is great! Lower number two days in a row, didn’t expect to be losing this soon after my last woosh. Awesome! Getting closer and closer to my “goal” everyday. The 24h blood pressure thing is horrendous 😂 It has only managed to measure me standing up 1 time.. Wish there was like a button on it that I could press, so it would measure when I actually stand up and have symptoms.

10/27 - -- Took this day off logging and mfp for the first time in 4 months

10/28 - 164.2 (+0.4) No wonder, since I took yesterday off I had my regular food and I ate some candy on the side for the first time in 4 months. So I basically had one cheat meal. I'm back on track again and logging. Feeling more hungry today, but that's probably because I ate more carbs yesterday. I'm under calories for today and will continue under calories for the rest of the week.

10/29 - 164.2 (--) No change today Yesterday was fine, but like I said.. I was so hungry! Weird how your body craves more and more carbs when you eat a little more carbs than usual one day. I'm very happy that I have self control. Earlier I couldn't eat candy/cake/sweets etc one day without falling completely off and continuing to eat sweets like a crazy person, so I'm happy that has changed This journey is about so much more than just the weight loss..

10/30 - 163.5 (-0.7) Wooho

Sunrise this morning was spectacular! I'm looking forward to a nice walk on the river greenway. Then I'm off to the dr's office - I was pruning a rose yesterday and it fought back. I'm sure there's a thorn tip embedded in my leg (nice finish to a long scratch) and my hubby couldn't get it and I can't reach it very well. That'll be fun! Have a lovely day, all!

10/26 - 134.8 - 1244 - 10-day ave 1281
I've decided to change my look with a new haircut to go with my new body. Going short, and with my curly mop, it should be easy peasy maintenance. Let's hope weight maintenance follows suit! Have a lovely weekend, all!

10/27 - 134.4 - 1258 - 10-day ave 1279
I had a pretty good workout in the garden yesterday moving two big rose bushes, three daylilies, and three hostas, and planting some mini irises I got free a while back. It rained all night and is still raining, so everyone is nicely watered in. I'm hoping to put in some bulbs this afternoon or tomorrow. One of my favorite ways to spend a fall day - and a drop on the scale is a nice reward!

10/28 - 134.6 - 1104 - 10-day ave 1278
Woohoo! Last day of my elimination diet! Tomorrow I start adding things back, one by one, starting with eggs. Based on lingering pain, I don't know that it's done much for my inflammation - blood work tomorrow will tell us more - but I have lost 6.5 pounds in the 6 weeks (not bad this close to my UGW) on a macro ratio of 55-60% carbs (mostly veggies & fruits with some rice, oatmeal, & legumes), 20% protein, & 20-25% fat. I haven't felt particularly deprived, but I am looking forward to adding eggs, peppers, tomatoes, peanutbutter, and muesli!

10/30 - 134.6 - 1221 - 10-day ave 1266
Busy day today, beginning with a blood draw for me to see if inflammation is down, and a leg x-ray for my doggy girl to see why she's limping intermittently (which we fear is linked to her liver nodules and enlarged lymph glands). She was most unhappy about going to THE BACK ROOM with the tech. :-( But I'm happily beginning the next phase of the food sensitivity testing, beginning with eggs! I added egg whites to my oatmeal this morning and look forward to an omelette for lunch. Sometimes it's the little things!

10/31 - 134.6 - 1216 - 10-day ave 1258
We're headed for 64 degrees F today so I'm planning to go for a nice walk this morning and plant a bunch of bulbs this afternoon, then painting class tonight. Life is good!

Female/49 years/Missouri

Round 55 * -3.2
Round 56 * +1.6
Round 57 * TBD

OSW - 213 (highest weight ever 280 but I've had most of that off for more than 15 years but still)
CW - 192
RGW - 190
UGW – 135

Food Goals:
Get 5 servings of fruits/veggies every day.
Stay under my calorie goal of 1,400.

Exercise:
Walk at least an hour 3 days a week.
Weight training 1 day a week
Other 1 day a week for an hour (biking/tennis/water aerobics or walking if nothing more fun is available)

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 - 192.6 No exercise yesterday. I drove for more than 5 hours, that was enough "exercise" for me. Good news I got a new asthma script. I didn't pick it up because I was too tired. Let's hope this new insurance means I can afford more than just the rescue inhaler. I'm crabby but still staying in calorie goal and plan on walking tonight.
10/26 - 190.9 No exercise again yesterday, but that stinky water weight is gone! I have been very tired the last two nights. MS can sometimes sneak up on me with a little exhaustion when I'm not looking. I hope to be back on track (trails really hahaha) this weekend. A short walk at lunch today (2 miles) and then a long walk either Saturday or Sunday and a 3 miler the other day. Fingers crossed the weather agrees Last round I over estimated my goal, this round I underestimated. My amended goal for Round 57 is 189. I have 8 days to do it.
10/27 - 191.0 Went to the Farmer's Market walked 1.25 miles! Up slightly, nothing to worry about. Stayed within calorie goals but it was an emotional day.
10/28 - 191.6 Stress and sodium are the culprits. I hope I should have walked but got caught up in other things. I did shop a lot so there was walking there but I didn't turn on the app to count distance. Staying within calorie goals but sodium is high again.
10/29 - 192.9 DANG IT. I'm certain it's the stupid sodium. I ate out a lot and while I can stay in calorie goals but restaurants LOVE salt. My walking goals didn't happen. I had originally wanted to walk 50 miles in October but being sick for a week killed that. That pace was 1.61 miles a day - adjusting for a week off I need to hit 38.6. I'm at 33.2. I have to walk 5.4 miles in the next 3 days to hit my goal. Even if I don't hit my weight goal, I feel like I will have accomplished something if I can hit my mileage goal.
10/30 - 191.4 That's more like it. I still need to lose another pound to make the Round goal. I was crazy on 10/26, full of confidence that I would keep that weight off and lose more. Walked 4.15 miles yesterday, that puts me at 37.3 for the month. It was the perfect fall day for walking. I do need to leave a little earlier, it was straight dark by the time I got back to the car. I will make the 38.6 miles Tonight is weights at the gym night and tomorrow is Halloween.

Day/Weight/Comment

🎀10/25 - 178.4 - An early weigh in, but I'm certain this is true. An impromptu day out with a friend threw me off of my normal pattern. Did not drink enough water. Did not drink my electrolytes. Ate POPCORN. I bought some popcorn kernels to pop corn for my husband. WHY did I eat 2 cups of popcorn? I don't even eat corn or grains. So I deserve this temporary gain.
🎀 10/26 - 178.8 - Even though my weight dropped to 176.6 , don't forget who I am. Super Spongebarb. Lol. It will come back down. I looked back over the past 2 weeks of my diary and I've had more than a few days eating less protein than I should. Gotta correct that.
🎀 10/27 - 177 - better on carbs and water, protein in target?
🎀10/28 - 178.4 - All macros over settings yesterday. I do not fast Friday through Saturday.
🎀10/29 - 178.2 - Salt water flush today. Drank it an hour ago, nothing yet. 😦 Lol. My husband went to a friend's house yesterday to watch the football game and brought food home. He sits a plate covered in foil next to me and walks away. I thought it was for him to eat later. I look under the foil, 3 big cookies. I laughed, told him no thanks and put them in a sandwich bag.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. On the other hand when I look at the big picture and the averages it has been a consistent loss except for two rounds. Round 53 was my 50 birthday celebrations that upped my weight for a few days.

I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

My goals are to really work and try to loose another 10-15 pounds by my 29th birthday in December

🕷10/25🕸 149.8- yesterday I worked out but ate a bit too much, late night snacking got to me..I still managed under my calories but it does explain the "maintenance" I drank 1 liter of water, so not great on the water front. I have been extra hungry for the past two weeks but I finally feel normal again now that I am mid week into my TOM. I also feel good today, totally more energized then I have been the past two weeks (like I was before my cold started... gosh colds last a long time) here is to a good day! 🥂 i am also happy to report i took my measurments this morning and I am half an inch down around my waist, 1 inch down around my hips and 1 and a half inches down around my thighs...what a good start to my day

⚰10/26🔮 149.8 pfft. Ate under calories, exercised and drank 1.6 liters of water. Thank gosh I took my inches to prove my weight loss, otherwise this number would have been slightly discouraging since it is the 9th day at 149.x but I'm not letting it get to me. This weekend I will be away so I don't know how often I will be on and I for sure won't have access to a scale, there will be a lot of walking involved but I plan to stay mindful of my eating and hopefully won't see a crazy increase on Monday. Wish me luck 😉

🎃10/27🎭 -away no scale-

🕸10/28🕷 - away no scale-

🔮10/29⚰ 149.6 finally caught up on everyones posts. This weekend was so much fun and I am so happy that this was what I saw on the scale this morning!! Food choices were so difficult given the fact we were on a bus, given food parcels containing sweets and high carb foods. The bus was all ladies with the exception of 4 men out of 40 odd people (not including the two bus drivers) and we were all Italians..which means biscotti and such. I did track all my food and ate everything sparingly. When we did arrive at our destinations, the food options were food courts, which made salads and fruits rare to come by. I did walk a lot and portion out the food. I was lucky that the B&B we stayed at provided fruit for breakfast, so I took a couple extra for the road. I'm so tired today and I am feeling it in my legs, so I might do some light work outs but I am not fully commiting to anything. Planning to get back to my %100 by tomorrow.

🎭10/30🎃 150.6 of course I was amazing all weekend and the day I am home it became a binge fest. I haven't had a cheat meal since Canadian thanksgiving and I haven't had a binge day since I think August so although it does suck and I feel gross I'm also ok with it. I'm back at it today and am just going to keep moving forward and down ward. Also joined a volleyball league that will be starting sometime in November...so excited and nervous

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 149 Back here again, but with new motivation. I found an old tablet yesterday and was looking through old photos of myself, and got inspired to lower my goal weight to 134.5. Weight loss is first and mostly about psychology, and it really helped to see myself slimmer, smiling, looking like I felt great. Yesterday I had a really good day, lowered my calories back to 1200 and started wearing my fitbit again. Refocusing on my macros, since higher protein works best for me (carbs 25%, fat 45%, protein 30%) and seeking to hit that protein goal of 90g daily. These past 5 rounds I have indulged plenty, tasted all the foods I was desiring, and have come back to the realization that I feel better when I eat more simply. Skipping breakfast unless I am hungry, lots of salads, and grilled lean protein. Occasional treats, not daily. Looking forward to this round more than I have in a while! Have a great day everyone!
10/26 148.4 Dedicated to staying out of the 150's this round as I stay on course. Candy is in the house but I am safe! Tomorrow night we are going to a big Halloween party, so I will save some calories to snack there, but stay away from sweets. I have had enough sweets over the past several rounds to be ready to stay away.
10/27 149 Did not walk yesterday due to escorting mom to dr. and son to DMV (yay! he got his permit!) so lots and lots of sit and wait time. Ate over calories quite a bit last night and not the best choices in spite of my oh so motivated talk to myself. Today is a new day, and I am up and at em early ready for it to be outstanding! Every moment is an opportunity to begin again, have a great Saturday everyone!
10/28 149.2 Parsley cucumber lemon water is on the menu today to get rid of my Mexican food bloat from last night, but it was worth it! Hubby and I were inmates in black and white stripes, so it was comfy and the party last night was tolerable. He is leaving tomorrow until Saturday out of town, so this coming week will be a challenge. In the past when he's gone I have used it as an excuse to overeat, but not anymore! This time I will use his time away to stay focused on ME, to get my walks in, to eat how I know fuels my body best, and to spend some time introspectively and GROW. The past does not equal the future!
10/29 WEIGH IN DAY 148.4 Back here again, but this is really good!!! I am so happy not to be bouncing up as high as 150! I'm up extra early to take my honey to the airport, going to walk the hill when I get back and I will log my day. Continuing to drink the cucumber/parsley/lemon infusion, love the taste!

10/30 147.4 I dabbled here one time last week, good to see it again! Went over calories yesterday but stayed in deficit due to a lot of walking. I try not to pay attention to the fitbit adjustment, it's deceived me into thinking I can eat more than I really should. Does not seem right to eat more just because I had more steps around the house etc. I just counted out the weeks until the end of the year and we have 9 weeks until 2019! My goal is to get below 140 by then!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 still a solid 70kg, which is just fine, especially given the last few days eating and lack of exercise. Will abandon counting after lunch as it's my last day in my current job! Dates for my flight out to Zambia will be decided in the next couple of days.
10/26 70kg - weighed after breakfast. Had a great eve with a beautiful cake in shape of a condom :') (I work in family planning), ended the night with pizza, leftovers are my lunch now.
I actually have a 5k fun run tonight with a couple of friends, so better get this hangover under control! Diet, logging and proper exercise starting tomorrow.
10/27 70kg - very happy with this, and even if i don't get below this round, that'll be fine. Managed to do my 5k run in good time yesterday. Today I have to go back to logging. Exercise will be tidying up and sorting out things at home. Will also go for a walk to get my steps in and back to boxing tomorrow. Happy weekend all.
10/28 70.5 ok ok, i can't even be annoyed at this. TOM is imminent, went over cals with snacks in the eve - not creazy, and I didn't log my tidying&cleaning yesterday. Today: boxing class and more tidying / preparing to pack.
10/29 70kg
Yesterday's boxing class was not very good. We had a new instructor on trial who didn't have us do a proper warm up and overall was pretty bad. Went for a walk in the afternoon to get my steps in. Did have quite a few snacks, but almost within calories. I need to stop buying them really.
Today, it's my first proper day at home without a job, walked my husband to the station and later plan to go for a run.

10/31 70kg - did my run yesterday, drank Tish's water, thanks @tiabirdie
Last night, a friend was in town unexpectedly, so we went for a couple of drinks and some bar snacks. My lunch and dinner before that were rather estimated as it was left over food that I modified. Overall only slightly over cals.
Today, I already hit my step goal after running around the shops - finding office wear suitable for 30C in autumn is not easy. TOM in full swing, all I want is chocolate...

Highest Weight (10/2016): 293
Start of Round 57 Weight: 186.6

I have lost 106 pounds so far and my goal is to get down to between 10-12% body fat (Currently about 16.1%) and then slowly bulk to gain muscle. These last 10 lbs. or so have really been giving me fits, so I thought I would join this challenge to give me a little extra motivation.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 186.6 - Had a pretty good day. Got a late night lift in about midnight last night with 2 miles (1 before, 1
after) on the treadmill. Need to do better on sleep. Averaging about 4 hours per night this week.

10/26 186.6 - Yesterday had an active day. Did a triceps and abs session and then ran a treadmill 5k at an easy
pace (6.5) for just under 29 minutes. Had about 15,000 steps along with the workout, so got to eat
some extra calories yesterday (2239). Deadlifts await today.

10/27 187.4 - Normal fluctuation. Didn't get my workout in because I was gonna go after watching World Series Game 3. 18 innings and 7:20 later...it was 2:30 am here when game ended. So i will try to double up today on my workouts. Also ate calories that go on today's diary last night during game after midnight so that explains the gain.

10/28 189.4 - Played and walked 18 holes of golf for over 15,000 steps. Pigged out at family get together on high carb and high sodium foods. 300+ carbs when I'm usually around 180-200 and 6600+ sodium. So I figured I would be a up a few today. It's normal for me to fluctuate 3-5 lbs based on water weight. So, no worries, back at it today and it should shed over the next few days. After losing 107 lbs, it's good to know my body well enough that I don't freak out over water weight fluctuations like I would have at the beginning.

10/29 188.6 - Pretty good day. Slightly over calories (Mexican food is my weakness). Normally my rest day, but I made up my lifting workout from Friday (Deadlifts, Assisted Pull-Ups, Overhead Press, Bicep Curls and Chest Flys). Also bowled in my Sunday evening bowling league. Hopefully will continue to shed water weight today, and I will have another lifting session today and may try to go play some basketball for cardio tonight if I can get away for long enough.

10/30 187.4 - Played full court basketball for almost 2 hours. Over 14,000 steps total. Food intake was pretty good, had a nice deficit for the day and ended up with 181 grams of protein. Plan on lifting today (Squat Day). See if we can eliminate the remainder of the water weight from last weekend. Checked body fat % and am down to about 15.1%. About 3-5% from goal on BF. Can't wait to bulk so I can up the calories some and intake more food 😁

Round 57: My 1st Round
F/23/5’3’’/SW 59kg

10/25 – 58.7kg Exercised for 30min yesterday and ate healthy breakfast and lunch and ended up eating heavy dinner. I tend to eat more for dinners should try to control this.

10/26 – 58.5kg (-0.2kg) didn’t exercise at all yesterday, finished my dinner early rather than having late night dinners I decided to eat early and I am happy to see the difference. Will try to stick to this plan.

10/27 – 58.3kg (-0.2kg) Spent some time in the morning to exercise. I realized how difficult it is to burn calories and then how easy it is to eat all those calories, so whole day I was very choosy and careful about what I ate. I went out with friends and I said no to Pizzzaaa I can’t believe I did that!! Wow! and the prize for that is what I saw in the morning today a drop of 0.2kg! yay!!

10/28 – 58.3kg no exercise just ate within calorie limit.

10/29 – 58.5g (+0.2kg) reason for this was obviously all the cake, ice-cream and chips that I had yesterday, didn’t exercise…I will consider that to be a cheat day and will be back on track from today.

10/30 – 58.4kg (-0.1kg) Exercised for 15min, ate within calorie limit. Soo close to the end date and still have 500 grams more to lose...I have to start increasing my workout time but after working out for like 15min I feel very exhausted...planning to be on a fruit diet today and see if I feel any difference in weight.
