Hi My Friends - Returning & New! Have a wonderful Round!

12/14 154.6
12/15 154.8
12/16 155.8
12/17 155.0 Away for the weekend, tracked all, & remained under calories burned. Ate slowly & kept walking. Pleased❣Feels like I’m getting the hang of this.

I decided I REALLY wanted to get to 150. I’m curious what I will look like. This is what’s keeping me going atm.

12/18 153.4 My New Lowest Weight!
BMI of 23.0 ❣

Wasn’t hungry, so for the first time, I listened to it, rather than forcing myself to eat. Ate ~1400 calories. Burned ~ 2400 calories with YouTube Zumba & Lisa Sansone videos [First time for both] & a 40 minute walk after dinner with DH + 2 hours of Physical Therapy exercises (not counted).

12/19 153.4again!! Trend wt hit 154.0 for first time!!
However I have had two chocolate squares & 5 cookies (all carefully tracked) today. I’m under calories, but it’s not been very nutritious.

Question: should I throw out the cookies that 2 friends brought me? Or give them to teen boys across the street?

3.4 of 78.3 pounds to go! 😀
95.7% there!

Note to self: your original goal in 3 years was 169, then 155, so don’t feel bad that you’re not 150 by Jan 1. You’ve got this. Keep with the easy, tiny goals!

If the boys aren't overweight, maybe give them up. Cookies are easy to come by--if it ends up to be a mistake....They will most likely be happy to eat them....

Hi everybody. I wasn't here for many challenges, I'm trying to come back. I gained so much weight, I afraid to weigh myself. But I'll start to see a dietitian on Monday (12/17), so I'll add my weight on 12/17. Until Monday, I'll add my comments for each day.

12/14
I overate today, I took so much sugar and carb. Every day I feel like I have to eat sugar/junk food, I really addicted. Not a good day, but at least I walked 8200 steps with my heavy backpack.
12/15
12/16
12/17 87.5 kg (192.9 lbs)
This is the first time I weighed myself after many weeks. I wished that I would be less than 88 kg, so I didn't feel so bad, I was ready for that. I went dietitian this morning and we talked a lot and made a diet plan. I feel motivated, we made a goal which is I'll be 79.9 kg (176.1 lbs) after 2 months. In this challenge, I want to end up with 86.5 kg (190.6 lbs). According to my body analysis (with Tanita) I already have water retention, so I think I can lose 1 kg.
12/18 88 kg (194 lbs)
OK. I wasn't expecting this. But this was the first time I drank 2.1 liters of water in a day, maybe it's about that. My dietitian said that I need to drink 3 liters of waters, but it's really hard for me. Whatever, yesterday was the first day of my new diet and it was good. I didn't feel hungry until night. I'm still highly motivated.
12/19 88 kg (194 lbs)
I'm still optimistic, this is before bathroom weight. I believe I'll see a better number tomorrow. Yesterday was good, I didn't eat exactly according to diet, I did little changes. However, I took enough calories.
12/20 87.4 kg (192.6 lbs)
Yes! Yesterday breakfast wasn't good actually, I couldn't find proper thing to eat and took extra calories, however I tried to balance it through the day and finished the day under my calorie limit. When I'm home it's easy to diet but I need to learn to find solutions when I'm out. This is my 4th day of the new diet, cannot wait to weigh with Tanita at dietitian. I feel like I'm losing fat (I know too soon to say, I'm over-optimistic) (smiling poop emoji is here)

14/12 Yesterday was about maintenance intake wise, ate out for dinner unexpectedly. Not a big deal, been under my calories a fair bit during the week. It's out Christmas Jumper day for charity at work with a buffet, tonight is our Christmas lights row and party with my rowing club so it's pretty much a write off in term of calories today, I'll be mindful but not going to worry as I am going sober for charity from Monday so this is my last hurrah!

17/12 Been relatively good over the weekend, a lot of alcohol but calories around my deficit. Weight continues to come off. Goals for today are to do some yoga.

18/12 Not much to say about yesterday had a bit of a bingey evening, probs a tiny tad over maintenance so nothing devestating and expect to see the post-drink water weight hang on a day or two longer.[/b]

19/12 Plodding along, this week will be challenging, Christmas Party tonight

20/12 I have the pre-shark week carb cravings going on so the box of Celebrations at work will probably get me today. Other than that had a reasonable calorie intake yesterday considering I had a 3 course meal for Christmas Party.

12/14 feeling hopeful for this round
12/15 today I make my meal plan & activity plan for the week & stick to it
12/16 nice way to start my day
12/17 better than I expected
12/18 goal: no snacks after 7:30 (epic fail)
12/19 wrong way ralph 😲
I’ll be honest- I’m not in 100% yet. I am getting in the habit of weighing & posting each morning. Come Jan 7th I’m in 100%. Until then I’m aware of my eating & activities and posting every day. Just keeping it real.
12/20 not cool. I know I’m not 100% in but my word! I’m not 100% out for Pete’s sake!!!! Ok - that is going to be the highest weight I post.

Round 62: first round!

starting (current) weight: 194 lbs
Ending Weight:

[12/14: Did not Weigh.] Going on a weekend trip with friends. Lots of food and relax time. Hot pot dinners!
[12/15: Did not weigh.] Didn’t have a weigh machine handy. Fun weekend with friends.
[12/16: Did not weigh.] Weekend away from home. Great time spent with friends and homey seafood meals.
[12/17: Did not weigh.] Forgot to weigh in this morning and check where I’m at after the feasting weekend. Good diet day though!
12/18
12/19
[12/20: 197.4] I am at my highest weight right now. Not a happy feeling but I started on my thyroid medication yesterday, drinking lots of water, integrated green tea in two times a day, and semi clean eating. Finding healthy things to eat in crunched time frame gets kind of hard. But I am trying now and I DO NOT want to hit the 200 mark! I will try my best not to! Been down because of ACL recovery pain and a herniated disc on my lower back but finally getting back to the gym in the morning!

Round 62 - my second round

Round 61 11st 12lb (-1 lb)

Day/Weight/Comment

This is going to be a difficult week

12/14 - 11st 12lb - no loss, but no gain - so I'm ok. Had a choice of a lot of food yesterday evening but just had
one small cake and biscuit, instead of several sweet offerings, including mince pies. Kept within calories.
12/15 - 11st 12.2lb - disappointed because, as always, I weighed everything yesterday and I kept within my calorie allowance and due to walking I also had a good calorie deficit so could easily have had more.
12/16 - 11st 12.8lb - another increase. I weighed and measured everything yesterday and my calorie intake was 1161 calories. I've not yet got to the party days!!!!
12/17 - 11st 12lb Phew - back to starting weight of this round. I had to guess the calories of my intake yesterday. Looks like I didn't do too bad a job, although my macros were not the best
12/18 - 11st 12.2lb - should not have had that biscuit! Had 1253 calories, only ate some of my exercise calories.
Woke up last night with toothache and a bad cold, and I've been sneezing all day.
I made an appointment with the dentist for tomorrow, but I think I will have to cancel meeting my friend due to my cold. I cannot believe that this has happened when I have 4 events in a row from tomorrow - the way I feel I won't be able to go to any of them. I don't want to spoil anyone's Christmas. I haven't been able to eat all my calories today - I had one good meal and one snack, but cannot face anything else.
12/19 - 11lb11.6lb Meeting friend at cafe as a pre birthday meet up. Cancelled meeting with friend as I am still sneezing. Also cancelled visit to dentist which I've temporarily rebooked for Friday, but able to cancel if still not well.

12/20 - 11lb10.4 My birthday and a Christmas party? with my book group. Weight loss likely to be due to night sweats. However I woke up feeling much better and my temperature has gone from 100.2 to 97.4. (I'm always lower than the average 98.4 when I'm ok) Not sure if I'll go to the party tonight - it depends how I feel nearer the time.

12/21 - family have arranged a get together for Christmas and my birthday/meal out
12/22 - eve/eve party with friends - a day earlier than usual
12/23 - One day at home before going to my son's house for Christmas

ghy5

12/14=200.1 Here we go again but this will surely be challenging..Good luck to all.
12/15=200.5
12/16=200.8 UGH..baking Nut roll today,apricot kolace tomorrow & will do others with my grands this week.Will,keep all out of sight.OH BOY
12/17=Same.at least not over..2water classes+40 min bike,calls are good too but I had to taste the Nut roll ,isn't that some kind of rule???I am too tired to bake today but did Shop.A full day
12/18=1 water class +35 min bike,calls under + day 3 more than 10,000steps
12/20=199.8 well that is a surprise,after being Stuck for a long time & all those parties,baking ECT.just tells me even though it is hard to keep trudging though with no scale results,eventually it will work.When we know in our true heart of ❤,that we are being true & no results,the frustration is high.Last party tonite & those Kolace are baked so I better watch out & better not cry.BTW Mr Hershey visited here too..

Round 62 - my 5th round

Female - 58 - 5'7"
OSW: 271.8 (Oct 9/18)
UGW: 165.0 or lower

End R58: 261.2 (-2.2)
End R59: 258.8 (-2.4)
End R60: 256.6 (-2.2)
End R61: 252.0 (-4.6)

My goal for this round is to keep my wits about me! I'd also like to get in to the 240s during this round.

12/13 - 252.0 - End R61 - starting weight for this round.

12/14 - 253.4 - Nothing to worry about. 3168 cals yesterday. I was super hungry all day and gave in to it. For the 3 days before yesterday, my calories averaged 1506/day and that seems to be my "1200". I can't do too many days in a row at that level. I can lose a lot of weight quickly but I get too hungry & tired. That's without even exercising. I should probably aim for at least 1600 - 1700 per day and perhaps that would help me avoid the high calorie days. ***ETA: I just changed my daily goal to 1700. Hopefully that'll help me find a balance.
12/15 - 254.4 - Oops! I seem to sabotage my efforts whenever I get close to a milestone. 4010 calories yesterday!
12/16 - 254.6 - I did okay yesterday (1721) and we went for a nice, long walk but it's going to take a few days to turn around from two very high calorie days. I changed my limit back to 1500 this morning. I have to find those wits!
12/17 - 254.6 - My backsliding all started way back on the 1st Saturday of December when I had a meal out and some cookies & cake afterwards. Then I made some fudge for John to take to work and that I got in to, along with the left over ingredients. It seems I've had a rough ride since.
12/18 - 254.4
12/19 - 254.0 - I'll be happy if I can finish this round at the same weight I started it. Whew!
12/20 - 253.8 - I need to buy some apples to snack on after dinner. Too many nuts & chocolate ... again.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/14 - 240.0...went out to a movie for the first time in a while last night, had lots of popcorn and chocolate.
12/15 - No weigh in...been up since 2:30 with my son (he just didn't feel like sleeping). Had a bad eating day yesterday, a lot of LNS and a couple of adult beverages. My son has breakfast with Santa and 2 birthday parties this weekend so probably not going to be eating the best. I WILL get myself back on track by Monday, still want to be in the 230's by the end of the year.
12/16 - didn't weigh
12/17 - no weigh in...another morning of son waking super early. The past week has been bad for food, definitely have gained a few more pounds since last weighing. Back on track today..have the gym planned for tonight..haven't been in months.
12/18 - 243.4...not happy with myself for all this crappy eating. Did not get back on track yesterday at all and still didn't get to the gym 🙁 son was up most of the night coughing.
12/19 - no weigh in, just completely forgot to do it this morning, my son slept in until 6:30 this morning and I think it threw me off lol. Had another bad day food wise yesterday. Going to water aerobics this morning though and going to try to get back on track.
12/20 - no weigh in. Went to water aerobics yesterday and did a fair amount of walking (shopping) but had Chinese for supper and had potato skins and a very large frozen white Russian at 9:30pm! We went to go bowling but the place was packed, not one parking spot, so we went to the restaurant for a drink instead..and I course we couldn't have it without appetizers. Also very little water yesterday.

[12/20: 197.4] I am at my highest weight right now. Not a happy feeling but I started on my thyroid medication yesterday, drinking lots of water, integrated green tea in two times a day, and semi clean eating. Finding healthy things to eat in crunched time frame gets kind of hard. But I am trying now and I DO NOT want to hit the 200 mark! I will try my best not to! Been down because of ACL recovery pain and a herniated disc on my lower back but finally getting back to the gym in the morning!

Morning Beautiful! You can do this!!!! Don't know if it helps, but in regards to snacks, I keep boiled eggs, a roasted chicken, blackberries, grapes, cheese and a bar of dark chocolate in the fridge as staples (can also easily grab on the go) and slivered almonds and ginger candy in the desk drawer. Even salsa and chips isn't bad in moderation.

OK, the self-delusion is over and I'm not going to kid myself into eating more cookies & candies. I've had more the past week than I've had in the past 4 years! OTOH, I am back to regular walking (though not up to my goal time yet - amazing how quickly we get out of shape) and I started walk/run intervals yesterday. So I'm adding exercise minutes to my accountability for this session. I do think some of this extra weight is water, but I don't like the trend, so I've had a stern talk with myself! I'm off to get blood drawn to recheck inflammation levels - I hope they're down more, but in any case I feel quite a bit better other than pain in my shoulders, esp. in the morning.

12/15 - 133.6 - 1568 - 60 min
Time lag from Wed & Thurs excesses, but I ate better yesterday and walked an hour. I also am thrilled that my lab tests show my inflammation is way down from what it was, though still slightly elevated, and I am more determined than ever not to take prednisone long term. So while I will continue to enjoy the season for the next 10 or so days, I'm veering back toward the anti-inflammation/elimination approach to eating that I was on for much of the summer and fall to try to get back in the normal zone. I'm also going to start running intervals again 3 days a week (I haven't for almost a year so I'm really out of shape!) and, if I can haul myself out of bed at 5 am, to swim laps several days a week. Happy weekend, all!

12/16 - 133.4 - 1571 - 30 min
I forgot the Y closes early on Saturdays, so last night I walked around a grocery store for half an hour. Better than nothing!

12/17 - 134 - 1663 - 0
Still within my holiday boundaries, but I don't like the trend. This week I'm baking for a gathering on Thursday and my BD is on Sat, so I'm planning to eat clean and low today through Wed. I've also noticed an uptick in my pain level, and suspect it's related to my much higher-than-normal added sugar intake. I've been on a baking kick - weird for me! - and have started collecting healthier recipes to try. The urge will probably subside after the holidays!

12/18 - 133.4 - 1612 - 30 min
I ate better yesterday - no sweets at all - and I got to the Y for walk/run intervals, although the track was so crowded with slow walkers and little kids that I finally gave up. Don't get me wrong - more power to everyone who gets out there to walk! But walking together and taking up both lanes is a bit much. Anyway, I'll go earlier today! Haven't been able to get myself up to swim at 5:30 when it's 19 degrees out, though - working on it. I hope everyone who celebrates a holiday this time of year is handling the stresses and the joys of the season well.

12/19 - 133.8 - 1653 - 47 min
Sodium...we went to Fazoli's yesterday for lunch. I also baked an orange-glazed cranberry-pecan loaf, and ate a piece (but no dinner). But I got myself to the gym and am working back up to my old walking levels. Heading back there in an hour or so. More baking today for an event tomorrow, and I'm going to a Contemplative Vespers this evening. I'm not particularly stressed by the holidays as it's just me, DH, and friends, but the service sounds lovely. I hope those of you who are swamped by the season also take time to find quiet times and peace.

12/20 - 134 - 1664 - --
I didn't get to the gym yesterday, but was on my feet a lot so I'll take that. I also didn't drink my usual gallons of water, so I think the uptick may be partially due to that. Since my goal for "the season" has been not to exceed 135, I'm not unhappy with where I am. I'm also very impressed by everyone here who's losing or holding steady! Yay!
