15/11 Did a half hearted weights session yesterday, not really on form this week, not sure if it's weather or continued after effects of a big weekend. Anyway today's goals are to stay on track calorie wise and get lower body weights' session in
16/11 Had to postpone weight training again, went to a friend's graduation after work, calories were around maintenance so all round not a great day for my goals. However, weight continues to come down, I got 15,000 steps in, Protein was on target and had a very good sleep so it's not all doom & gloom. Today's goal are simply to eat below maintenance and try and get out for a run.[/b]
19/11 Felt a bit rundown over the weekend so just did a bit of cardio - rowing on Saturday and a bit of walking/jogging on Sunday, think I have a cold coming on, I've kept calories around maintenance over the weekend and had ridiculous appetite increase which is usually an indicator for me that I'm getting sick along with an increase in my resting heart rate. Rest Day today and aiming to be in my full calorie deficit by the end of the day but will be happy if I come in under maintenance, going to try not to buy anything outside of my planned meals/snacks this week
20/11 Did the grocery shopping yesterday, bought only what was necessary for my week's plan, calories were pretty much on point so happy with yesterday. Today's goals are to stick with my food plan and get a lower body training session in.
21/11 Came in a little under calorie allowance yesterday and got my lower body workout in. Appetite seems to have dropped off a little now at least. Today's goals are to stick to plan again and get an upper body workout in at lunchtime.10 -
Last Round was frustrating, with a whoosh at the end. Working on continuing with this downward trend.

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.

My 20th Round! I can guarantee that I would not have lost these last 28 pounds without this challenge. These next 10 days are going to include a birthday party and Thanksgiving with out of town relatives staying at my house, so I’m sure my ending weight will reflect that. However, this year I’m going to be prepared and enjoy this time with family, knowing I’ll be able to minimize the damage with the help of this challenge in the coming weeks.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 - 145.5 - Here's what I was hoping for yesterday. Hopefully, it will stick this time.
11/15 - 144.5 - I'm glad to see a downward trend before all the celebrating this weekend and next week. NSV - I'm wearing a pair of dress pants today that my husband bought me when we were dating in 2000. I grew out of them fairly quickly back then, but I loved them, so I kept them in the back of my closet. Funny thing is, they're a size 12. Most 12's fall off me now so I measured the waist size and it's 31.5 inches. It's crazy how how much sizing has changed in women's clothes.
11/16 - 144.5 - I'm so happy this stuck before the birthday party I'm throwing tomorrow.
11/17 - 144.5
11/18 - 144 - I didn't get a chance to post yesterday with all the birthday celebration preparation. I watched what I ate earlier in the day and then the party started. I had several drinks along with small portions of pizza, chicken, and cake. I suspect that the only reason my weight is down today is because I'm dehydrated. I expect my weight to be up tomorrow, but I'll be back on plan again until Thanksgiving.
11/19 - 144.5 - If this is the only fallout from the birthday party, I'll take it.
11/20 - 144.5 - I'm happy to hold steady here until Thanksgiving.
11/21 - 145.5 - Evidently, it took a few days for last weekend to show up. I'm working a half day today then going home to prepare for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Our out of town family will be staying with us through Saturday so we can watch the Ohio State/Michigan game together. I'm planning to enjoy all the food over the next few days, but curtail the mindless snacking I tend to do when the appetizer trays sit out most of the day.

11/14 - 183.3
11/15 - 183.1 - Failed on the no carb front, but I’ll try again today. Sugar addiction is real folks!
11/16 - 182.3 - Headed in the right direction. No processed carbs yesterday! It wasn't too hard until afternoon, but I stuck to it.
11/17 - 183.3 - Not sure what happened there, I haven't started tracking my food yet, so I was probably had high sodium intake.
11/18 - 181.7 - I weighed myself 4 times to make sure that this wasn't a fluke, but that is what I weigh today. I know that tomorrow will most likely fluctuate back up, but I'm going to try to use it as motivation for the upcoming week.
11/19 - forgot to weigh 🤦♀️

OSW: 271.8 (Oct 9/18)
UGW: 165 or lower
End R58: 261.2 (-2.2)
11/13 - 261.2 - my goal for this round is to get well in to the 250s
11/14 - 260.8
11/15 - 261.2 - mixed nuts, homemade oatbran muffins, apricot jam - a bit of a feedfest before bed
11/16 - 261 - ate too much food last night to see a significant loss this morning. My food is too delicious!
11/17 - 260.2 - if I keep it together today, I should finally see 259ish tomorrow. The 260s have overstayed their welcome!
11/18 - 259.8 - YES! It's a squeaker but I'll take it.
11/19 - 259.4
11/20 - 260 - I ate my last meal very late and didn't drink a lot of water yesterday.
11/21 - 259.8 - I've started adding back homemade lentil and split pea soups and heavy rye bread to my diet, in proper portions. My body likes to hang on to these foods a bit longer than just fruits and veg & proteins.

Round 59 SW 187
Round 59 GW 185
Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 187 - saw this challenge and figured I'd join in since the weight seems to be creeping back on.
11/15 185.1 - dinner out w/family last night will most likely show up on scale tomorrow though I did try to plan ahead knowing I would have a higher calorie meal when out.
11/16 185.1 - I did a little bit of mindless snacking yesterday so that will probably catch up to me in a day or so. Especially, since I worked from home yesterday and will again today and I have all the food in the next room easy to get up and grab it. Did try to put some lower calorie items in pantry for when the urge strikes.
11/17 185.1 - Started logging but, didn't complete yesterday - though, I feel like I probably over ate but, didn't go over board.
11/18 186.4 - weighed yesterday just never got around to posting
11/19 186.5 - as expected the above caught up.
11/20 185.2 - had a pretty good day yesterday calorie wise
11/21 185.2

11/15 - 133 - 1303 - 10-day ave 1254
Freezing rain all morning, so I've been catching up on laundry and cleaning, moving some furniture and books around, and other stuff. And a friend's DH fell off a step stool while changing a light bulb and broke his back in 3 places - yikes! They're gluing it back together this afternoon, so her beautiful Springer Spaniel, Star, is hanging out at our house. She's lying I my lap as I write this.

Whoa! That would have knocked my socks off if I'd had any on when I weighed in this morning! I did have a very low cal day yesterday, not really by planning, but I was satisfied and just decided to go with it. I can't believe I'm a pound and a half away from my "I'll probably never reach it but wouldn't it be great" goal. It will be 4 years in Feb. since I started this journey for real (after years of "trying" to lose weight and ending up heavier in the long run). Keep at it, folks!
11/17 - 131.2 - 1132 - 10-day ave 1203
I guess eating more last round primed the pump to lose again this round. Maybe I'll get through Thanksgiving with a loss. Have a great weekend, everyone.
11/18 - 130.6 - 992 - 10-day ave 1136
Wow. I can't believe I'm finally (almost) here. And in other news...we brought this guy home yesterday! He hasn't told us his name yet, but he's 3.5 months old and just lovely. (This was the only time he was still enough to get a picture!) >^..^<
11/19 - 130 - 1037 - 10-day ave 1096
WOOHOO! I did it! Four years ago today I was 88.2 pounds heavier than I am this morning. And it isn't just about the weight -- I'm healthier, more comfortable, better able to do the things I enjoy.... It's been a journey and an education, and that will continue as I strive to maintain. These challenges have been a big boost, too, over the past 15 months, so BIG thanks again to @GrandmaJackie and all of you. Now to slowly get my calories up to figure out my maintenance level. Oh, and my kitten has revealed that his name is Stirling (with an "i" after the city in Scotland where my mother was born). >^..^<
11/20 - 130.2 - 1110 - 10-day ave 1071
I had bread yesterday for the first time since I started the elimination diet 10 weeks ago - Dave's Killer Good Seed thin sliced. Yum!!! Now I'm trying to figure out just how to approach maintenance. I think the habits I've formed over the past 4 years will help me hold the line, but I also suspect that doing so is just as much a challenge as losing. Daily accountability will also help, so thanks, group!
11/21 - 131 - 1209 - 10-day ave 1056
I know I was short on water yesterday, so that plus the addition of bread to my diet = holding a little water. On the plus (or minus?) side, I bought a cozy pair of fleece-lined leggings in the jrs dept, size medium, and they're too baggy, so I exchanged them for small and they fit perfectly.

Round 58 SW: 258.8 EW: 247.4 (-11.4)
I don't have a set goal for this round but my next mini goal is to be in 230's by the end of the year.
UGW: 165lbs by the end of next year.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 - 247.4...had a good day yesterday, stayed in calories, 100 oz of water and 50 mins of water aerobics.
11/15 - 247.4..early morning weigh and not enough sleep. Still sticking to plan and did water aerobics again yesterday. I knew I would stall a bit this round after such a big loss last round.
11/16 - 247.2...was a good day. Did water aerobics and some walking around while shopping. Was under calories and had 100 oz of water. This is actually the lowest weight I've been since August 2013!! 😀
11/17 - 246.2...woohoo!! I had major cravings for take out food yesterday, but managed to talk myself out of having any! I had moose meat, gravy and a few of my sons oven fries instead..was yummy and within calories.
11/18 - 245.2...no exercise yesterday, spent half of the day looking at houses with my mother and the other half relaxing. I didn't have enough calories eaten by 8pm so I had a tuna sandwich, I don't normally eat that late and didn't expect a loss today.
11/19 - 245.2...stayed within calories yesterday, but had a bit of a cheat day food wise. Took my son to a birthday party and had a couple mini chocolate bars and few bites of cake and we had takeout for supper. Happy that I didn't turn it into an eating frenzy..bit of a nsv for me.
11/20 - 246.6..within calories but by using some of my exercise calories back. 30 min walk and 100oz of water.
11/21 - 246.6..I had a decent day but then I went out to pick up a few things after my son went to bed and had an extreme craving (and I was hungry) for McDonald's. I ended up getting a meal with a milkshake and ate around 9:30 😐. I'm surprised I'm not up this morning. Going to drink lots of water and get back on track today.

11/14-177
11/5 - Didn’t weigh;I had too many beers before and after dinner last night,while cleaning our house up to sell.
11/16 - 177-No time to exercise; we have been boxing up stuff, painting and cleaning to put our house up for sale. Luckily they sell those pre made bagged salads, so I grab cooked meat from the freezer and add it to the bagged salad for instant dinner. At least we’re eating somewhat healthy.
11/17 - 177-Still, but that’s OK. Our house is finally for sale, and things will get back to normal....after I paint the bathroom.😳
11/18 - 177 Again, but it’s OK. I painted the dang bathroom yesterday and it looks great. Had some salty food when our boys visited yesterday. Today is the Thanksgiving dinner at our church. Hopefully I won’t go overboard; I don’t have a good “off switch”.
11/19 - 176 Finally. I was careful eating yesterday.
11/20 - No scale
11/21 - 175 Finally. I have been eating so good and tonight I go to my dad’s house for a heavy dinner & drinks and tomorrow is Thanksgiving......go figure! Any way, I got to my goal weight and know I can do it.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everybody!!🍗🍸🍗🌻

UGW: 155ish - by April 2019
11/14 - Wednesday - 177.6 - I still find myself typing 19X when going to record my weight. My brain cannot fathom that I'm in the 170's! I had a crackpot goal to be 175 before thanksgiving but that seems pretty extreme given its a week away and the end of this round is a day after thanksgiving - yikes! Okay, considering that I think I'll actually aim to maintain this round. Finding a balance between enjoying my favorite holiday guilt free and not binging for the entire weekend. Fortunately, we are going out this year, so I wont be totally tempted by all the leftovers - but we will probably cook a bird and make some soup over the weekend. I'm committing NOW to next round as to not let myself slip into holiday regression. Last night I overindulged a bit so scale may be up a bit tomorrow. Desperately need to go to the grocery store and stock up on healthy options again. Been basically cleaning out the cupboards for the past week!
11/15 - Thursday - 176.8 - Been visualizing that 176! Solid morning, fish oil, smoothie, packed lunches, snacks, and got dinner on deck with a chicken teriyaki salad! Weather has me feeling especially dry and dehydrated so I'll focus on water today. Probably working from home tomorrow so I planned to make extra dinner to have for lunches tomorrow so we're not tempted to order out or snack our way thru the day at home. Went grocery shopping and have a good plan to get us thru the weekend fed with yummy, home cooked, whole foods. Been craving Zuppa Toscana so making a copy cat!
11/16 - Friday - 176.8 - ive been consistent and my numbers have been more consistent! Got hit with the munchies last night but got by with half a pb&j toast. Working from home today. Went out and did a little snow removal and made homemade pancakes. Leftovers for lunch and zuppa for dinner! Its a winter wonderland and we will probably be going snowboarding tomorrow or Sunday!!!!
11/17 Saturday - 178 - well I did well all day then mindlessly snacked after an early dinner. Dissapointed, but working from home proved to be tricky for me so I'll be mindful of that in the future. Back at it today!
11/18 - Sunday - 179.4 - enjoyed the day for friendsgiving yesterday without guilt. Which was hard after wanting to "make up" for the day before...but growing through it regardless. Not surprised by the uptick...water today, leftovers, and snowboarding tonight! The activity should make eating today a little more flexible anyway.
11/19 - Monday - 180.2 - TOM arrived late last night. Feeling super bloated and generally uncomfortable! But its a blessing really - my periods are continuing to regulate and I might have even ovulated this month! Sorry for TMI! So anyway I'm actually happy this morning - things are moving in the direction of my dreams, I paid all the bills, I stuck with my habits this morning and packed lunches and dinner is already prepared! I need toilet paper and a few things at the store but need to make a solid plan before I step foot inside a preholiday supermarket! Got to the mountain last night and felt SO good on my board!
11/20 - Tuesday - 180.2 - A doozy of an evening pain wise. I ate an extra chocolate bar, and mistakenly allowed trail mix with chocolate into my shopping cart yesterday and ate some of that too. Magnesium supplement to the rescue and I passed out pretty early on the couch. Snowy weather so working from home today. Going to make my smoothie now, ham and cheese wrap for lunch and pasta to quiet the raging cravings tonight, but planning on proper portions and prelogging to help me be reasonable. Last time I worked from home I didnt eat enough protein and got wicked snacky after dinner so maybe also a tuna snack like I would usually have at work. Water is always harder at home...I'll try using my thermos with a straw and see if that helps. Found out Friday is a paid holiday for us too so YAY! Meal planned for the whole week, less whole foods more treats - planning on it rather than binging on it is key for me though. I can enjoy it without regretting it that way. Excited to enjoy a balance this holiday - this seasons theme has been about growth in so many ways and I'm so grateful to this challenge for being a huge part of it!
11/21 - Wednesday - 178.8 - A decent night last night - ate mostly proper portion and got to bed early. But oh my lanta is the devil whispering in my ear this morning! I woke up in a mood - DH hurt his finger opening the trunk so there was yelling too! Fun! I tried so hard to shake it on the commute to work. Got donuts for the work crew, and even all the usually super nice coffee ladies were throwing daggers at each other with there eyes - arent the holidays fun?! Anyway, I already ate one of those donuts. But I've got the rest of the day planned. Need to drink lots of water today so I don't eat three more donuts
I'm very much an empath and this time of year does indeed wear me out very quickly so I'm being mindful of protecting my energy - today has felt really heavy so far - so setting my intentions for positive vibes despite the rocky start! Hope everyone has a restorative, peaceful, family filled holiday tomorrow!

11/14 - 185.2 - not how I wanted to start the round. But, I think this may be due to DOMS and high sodium dinner (ordered in). This will come down tomorrow after lots of water!

11/19 0 183.4 - phew! I’ll admit I was getting a bit discouraged going into Thanksgiving week at 185 - this is better - if I can just drop a bit more before Thursday - I’ll be happy. Off to the gym!

11/14—217—Nothing making a ton of sense right now, weight-wise, but as long as it's just bouncing around in this range, it's all good. Still working on the 100 pushups challenge but had to restart week 2. I'm definitely getting better at pushups!
11/15—DNW—I was rushing to get out the door to get to the airport to catch a flight. Well, I didn't have to hurry! The plane is still sitting on the tarmac. I'm not in it, though. I was heading out of town for a conference but we sat and sat then came back to the gate and sat, then they were reboarding and I realized I wasn't going to make my session! So I came home instead.
11/16—217.2—Yoinks. Well, I can't claim I had a perfect eating day yesterday. Too much salt and too little hydration. Onward!
11/17—217.2—Huh.
11/18—216.8—Well, that's a little better!
11/19—216.8—I ate movie theater popcorn yesterday, so this is a win.
11/20—216.4—Heading back down in time for PIE.

11/16 IDK When I stepped on the scale I got 172 which seemed too good to be true. So i tried again and got 175.2 which doesn't make sense either as I was within calories and macros yesterday. So I will wait and see what tomorrow brings.

11/14 - 179 - Late evening pretzel eating again. It's over, bag's empty, lol.
11/15 - 177.4 - Infused water? Lately I've been using cilantro instead of parsley. Can't find a decent bunch of parsley anywhere. I do really like the spiciness of the cilantro in the water.

11/17 - 177.4 - Smh
11/18 - 176.6 - Woot! Happy to see this number again today. I looked back through the rounds, and noticed that I average 65 days per decade of weight. Hopeful for Round 60/61 to be in the 160's!
11/19 - 177 - Okay. Spent the day at my DS and DIL's house, visiting Grandchildren. That is ALWAYS a high carb day. I normally take my own food so I'll have something to eat, but I didn't yesterday. I did roast a chicken for the children and made a couple of dips the adults could eat during the football game. My DH picked up fried chicken wings and fried fish at a carryout. I wasn't in the mood for any of it. I bought some chicken nuggets and fries at Wendys, didn't want that either, lol. It was cold and tasteless when I ate it.😕 Ate a little of the dip with a few flatbread crackers. Also ate salad. Came home and ate peanut butter. Strange day of eating for me, but I got to love up on my littles 😀 which always makes the day special.
11/20 - 177.2 - Mmmm, not amused 😑
11/21 - 176.6 - Back here again for the umpteenth time.😄 The struggle of late, that I'm noticing, is not wanting to eat what I cook or just not being hungry. Although, yesterday I felt hungry and wanted something crunchy, so I ate more of the flatbread crackers with the cheese dips. That turned into a meal, lol.

11/19 - 188.8 I was on vacation last week and while I did weigh in everyday I did not update round #58 numbers or comment on this round until now. I didn't do anything interesting on vacation because my bf burnt his hand so badly the night before we were leaving that he had to go to the emergency room and there was NO way we could fly. He was miserable. He's much better now and we spent a lot of time together but it wasn't a "vacation" like I really needed. I'm still worried about him as he has a compromised immune system right now and any infection can be very serious. The only good thing was that I walked every day. I got a couple of 4 milers in and one short two mile walk where both miles were under 17 minutes. I wasn't great on food, niece's first birthday last weekend and her dad's birthday this weekend. As if all that wasn't enough to kill my weight loss chances, its TOM so I doubt I will lose even a half a pound this round.
11/20 - 188.8 I'm happy enough with that considering I was stressed most of the day and had no exercise yesterday (other than jumping up and screaming during Monday night football GO CHIEFS!) Going to the gym tonight for weights. I'm trying to get 3 walks in between now and Sunday. Not easy with the holiday. I'll be busy on Thursday with T-day, decorating the house on Friday, another T-day on Saturday. I'm just sick of 18X I feel like I've been hovering for over a month where I can't get below 188. Now pile two thanksgiving and stupid TOM and there is no hope of seeing say 186 for at least another week if not two. It's a journey, it's a journey, it's a journey.
11/21 - 188.3 Going down is always a good thing. Went to the gym last night, had a great work out. Plan on a long walk this afternoon. Maybe I should just make 4 miles my new normal and stop calling it a long walk? Now I'm rambling. Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow to all!!! I am thankful for MFP and this challenge.

20th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Last round I spent wobbling between 160’s and high 161’s. I haven’t gone way overboard but my occasional “treat” seems to have become an everyday or even twice a day thing which would be ok for maintenance but is sabotaging any loss. So my goal this round is to dial that back and absolutely no LNS even if it is low calorie. I never skip meals and rarely have them at odd hours so there really is no excuse.Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2Round 59 – SW 161.2, Goal for this round (again) under 160.

Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. This is less than 1 lb. per round but as I realize that may not be possible as I get lower (1 lb per round would put me at 131).
Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 – 161.2 – Still here. Resisted ice cream last night but 3 corn thins before bed. Why did I need that? I had a good supper with lots of protein. The excuse in my head is always that “I can’t sleep well if I’m hungry.” The truth is that it is a lifetime habit - that I can break. Of course my stomach is hungry at night if I feed it almost every night!
11/15 - 160.2
11/16 - 161.4 – Totally my own fault – caved to ice cream. Today will work on arming myself with a plan this morning to resist temptation this evening. Also is a gym day which should help.
11/17 – 161.2 Good day at the gym yesterday. I’ve started doing more upper body exercise instead of just focusing on a little cardio (recumbent bike & elliptical) and abs. I usually use a CPAP machine for breathing at night although I know that I just barely need it. The ear, nose, throat specialist told me that I would be able to get rid of it if I lost weight. Now suddenly, my breathing is much better. Normally without the CPAP I have a more restless night and wake up with a dull headache. I haven’t lost all that much weight so I’m wondering if it is the upper body workout making the difference.
11/18 - 161.6 Really good day yesterday calorie wise, rather sedentary but I think this is just the lag from a few days ago. So, hanging in there for a drop tomorrow or the next day.
11/19 – 161.6 Careful caloriewise and no LNS yesterday. Off to the gym today.
11/20 – 161.2 Off to teach this am. Having successfully kept my eating in line this week, I am determined to not reward myself with food. What an awful habit. There are many other rewards that would actually make me feel good afterwards.

@abowersgirl I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
11/13 132.0 Final weight in Rnd 58
••••••
11/14 132.0 (Art Quilts, etc potluck) I need to drink LOTS of water!
11/15 131.5 (Community Thanksgiving potluck)
11/16 131.5. I survived potluck #2. Dinner and play this evening
11/17 131.5 What a beautiful evening it was! The sunset featured rainbows in the clouds. Salad, steak, and fresh green beans with garlic at Ellis Island Casino before going to see “The Andrews Brothers” at the Super Summer Studio. I need to drink more water!!
11/18 131.5 Still not drinking enough water. Didn’t go to bed until 2AM this morning and up before 6. Today is Carl’s 70th birthday. He does not like to celebrate but DD#2 and family are taking us to “lun-ner.” I think I’m going back to bed now. *Slept another hour and a half!*
11/19 131.0. WOW! Didn’t wake up until just after 8AM! BBQ for Carl’s birthday yesterday. I was stuffed but wanted to eat more because it tasted so good. I didn’t but I wanted to! DD #2 came over this morning and gave us both haircuts. She does such an amazing job! I’m late posting and haven’t read beyond page 14. Lots of catching up to do in the morning.
11/20 131.0 Busy day yesterday! Haircuts, some groceries, pick up neighbors at the airport and gym with Amy! Today I have to go to Sam’s Club to get the rest of the ingredients I need for Thanksgiving and Saturday Sew Day. Low on water again.
11/21 130.5 Busy day today getting ready for tomorrow at DD#2’s house.9 -
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.
