Female aged 47 based in the UK .

Start Weight on 1st Jan '19
Starting - 158.50lb
End R64 - 154.90lb - Round loss 3.6lb - Loss to date 3.60lb
End R65 - 149.90lb - Round loss 5.0lb - Loss to date 8.60lb

Hoping to carry on where I left off last round - aiming to lose a couple of pound this round and finish in the 147's.

01/22 - 149.90

01/23 - 149.4lb (-0.5) Happy with that to start the round off with and continues my pattern of lose for a few days, then a small gain then back to losing again (???). Aiming to be properly on track this week and totally focused as away over the weekend so meals out, hotel breakfasts plus a 5 hour car journey each way - will be a challenge but one I need to learn to handle better.

01/24 - 149.7 (+0.3) No logic to this other than a carb heavy dinner of risotto last night and TOM imminent (or not! All a bit hit and miss these days ). Not disheartened as still down on round starting weight and a good food day planned for today

01/25 - 149.8 (+0.1) Guessing this is TOM approaching as feeling bloated today and no reason for it based on my diet Not going to put me off track though as feeling very focused and determined at the minute. Weekend away now - have a plan in my head to stay as much on track as possible - just need to act on it now. Have a great weekend everyone

01/23 – 197.1 – back on track. Recorded all food and drank my water. No exercise though.
01/24 – 195.3 – so excited!! Recorded all food, drank my water, no alcohol, but didn’t exercise. I was very tempted last night with a glass of wine and my husband had a candy bar (offered me some too.)
01/25 – 196.0 – up some, but that seems to be a trend. Recorded all food (was over 6 calories), drank my water, no alcohol, and not exercise. I need to walk, but it’s so cold outside.

@cdavisdeva Thank you for your post! I surely don't take enough time to enjoy life enough along the way. I think a lot of the future and not enough of the present. There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. Ecclesiastes 2:24(KJV) I have the hardest time lately taking one full day off a week lately.It doesn't have to be off my food plan, but just relaxing a WHOLE day. Yesterday I was fighting the break. It didn't help that I got a tough phone call. I didn't have to pick up the phone..... I have the end weight goal in mind TOO much. Your explanation was good for me to hear.

Round 66: My focus is not breaking my tracking streak since 12/28 and being active every day in some way shape or form! Get up out of the chair from work, reading or tv and MOVE! Retiring Jan 31! Goal is to break into the next decade and make it stick.

1/23 - 240.9 - Last couple of days focused on water and staying within my calorie goal. Using Apple watch to remind me to get up from the desk chair and move each hour in addition to the daily walk.
1/24 - 239.6 - A new decade!!! Remember to never ever return to the 40s … you don’t like it there.
Recumbent bike indoors 20 min when raining. Frustrating day brother/sister inlaws ended with DH & I out for Italian & wine. Never a good thing but the food is tracked and now moving forward.
1/25 - 240.7 - I saw the 30s but it was touch and go! Work celebration and enjoyed chips & guac though no alcohol. Not enough water or exercise. Did walk down 6 flights of stairs at work instead of using elevator.
1/26 - No scale @ hotel.
1/27 - No scale @ hotel. Planned long hike with my son & his Fiancee!

I hit my “goal weight” around late November. I’ve managed to maintain around this weight since then. What I have realized though, is that I don’t think I would’ve been able to maintain without the daily accountability of this challenge. Thank you to @Grandmajackie and all of you contributors for the daily insights and commiseration. It makes all the difference in being successful at weight loss this time.

Day/Weight/Comment

01/23 - 145 – Back down again. I don’t have any real temptations (except for the full jar of candy bars at our office front desk) until this weekend. I’d like to drop a little before the weekend hits.
01/24 – 145 – I’ve done pretty well sticking to weight loss calories this week, so I’m hoping to see a little drop tomorrow.
01/25 – 145 – My husband and I have to grab carry out for supper tonight (we’re doing a lot of running around) so since I haven’t lost anything the past couple days, I’ll forego my favorite dish from the restaurant and order the healthier, lighter version.

New here, hoping a 10 day challenge will keep me on track, usually I give up because I have a bad day or two and don't want to log. Based in the UK.

SW on 01/18: 326lbs
GW: 234lbs (temp goal)
CW: 324lbs ish.

My goal is to be under 322 by the end of January as that's down to the round stone. Under would be nice but I'm not aiming lower.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23: 323.5lbs (-0.5) - my scale does 1/4lb increments. Weighed after breakfast instead of before, but I doubt it'll change much.
01/24: 321.75lbs (-1.75) - I suspect most of the drop is water, which I may need to regain. Still recovering from a bad stomach flu, so I'll just see how this settles.
01/25: 322.25lbs (+0.5) - I ate at my calorie goal yesterday, thought this would go up more. Think I'm whooshing a bit just being early on in the process, need to not get discouraged if I stall for a week or 2 due to it later on. Writing it down so I remember!

01/25 176.0 I suspect that is the end of the water woosh and things will slow down again now. I still don"t have a fridge or a stove but I have started getting the cupboards and small appliances organized. The cupboards are configured differently than before so it takes some trial and error, but it is very nice to have a new clean kitchen! I think that the first thing I will cook when I get my appliances in chicken picatta - I've never made it before but this seems like a good time to try new things.

Busy week continued yesterday and the things I prepped on the weekend are running low so we ended up with drive through last night. Opted for the grilled chicken and skipped the side so I kept it within calories for the day. Managed to hit the gym at lunch too so fairly happy with yesterday.

Round 66 SW: 214.6

01/23—216.8— Not an unexpected bump. I'm back to retaining water, have some digestive funkiness, and TOM looms. I didn't get 45 to continue to the next round of my push ups challenge, but I'm stoked because I got to 40. (42 if I count the two terrible ones at the end where I lost my form and nearly faceplanted.) So I went from 31 to 40 in ten days. Progress!

01/24—215.8—Had a lot of guesswork in my calories yesterday. I estimated high but lunch was plain chicken breast on plain salad. (I hate conference food!) Today will be more sedentary than yesterday, so I'll need to be mindful and keep moving.

01/25—216.6—TOM and non-ideal eating. Boo. I ate back all of my exercise calories, which I don't tend to like to do. I don't feel great, but I don't feel terrible either, which is a win!

01/23 - 179.6 lbs / I've been doing pretty well so far today. I took a 15 minute walk during my break & I've had 32 oz of water so far. Hopefully, I do well during the whole challenge.
01/24 - 179 exactly today. I did a little cardio when I got home yesterday & didn't have a big dinner.
01/25 - So today I weighed in at 180. I did really good with my calories yesterday, and I worked out after work. Not really sure why the scale doesn't reflect the hard work, but then again I did have a little fried food for dinner

01/23 181.9 This is getting to be too much. In 20 days I'm down 1 pound. There is a part of me that thought I'd skip this round. It's too depressing for me when I'm eating within calories and staying focused on exercise with no weight loss. I honestly had one bad calorie day on Sunday, every other day I have been within goal. I keep expecting a whoosh that isn't coming. I need to accept I'm here - not at 178 like I was for a few days. Old Kris tells me to give up and eat whatever I want and how much I want. Screw walking, screw the gym, forget the stupid C25K idea you're too old, fat, out of shape etc. I need to slap the crap out of Old Kris (OK), because that's what I've done every time. Keep me accountable people. I need this challenge.
01/24 181.9 Still here. I walked three freezing miles yesterday and fell on the stupid ice. I'm not walking today, my body is a little sore. I fell on ice twice this week, I think that's a sign. Plus they have temperature warnings for this afternoon, frost bite can set in within 15 minutes of exposure. A good sign to take the night off. My calories were low yesterday, didn't eat back my exercise calories but over on sodium. I guess that's why I'm stuck. On a positive note, have you guys tried the Green Giant Fresh bowls? I had the Teriyaki sauce with sesame seeds bowl last night with a chopped up chicken breast and it was delicious. Thank you again for the support yesterday. The picture below is from my walk yesterday. Stupid winter.
01/25 181.4 Down finally. No exercise, food within goal. It's so cold (overnight 3 degrees, -12 windchill) I couldn't even think about walking outside.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 - 189 - Still fighting a cold but I am happy to say that I have reigned my cravings & portions back in. I am looking forward making some progress this round!
01/24 -187 - Finally seeing some results! My cravings for sugar are almost all gone at this point. The key is not to indulge because once I do it’s so hard to stop again.
01/25 - 186 - It’s so nice to see things moving in the right direction! I just have to continue drinking my water, watching my portions & avoiding sugar & carbs. I’m hoping to keep my focus through the “weakend”!

Thank you @quiltingjaine ❤❤

you are right! @amfmmama the memories will always be great to have!

Snowflake1968

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. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202

Jan 23 - 179.0 - I feel good about round 65 and am ready to start round 66 with a positive attitude.
Jan 24 -178.6 - I am trying very hard to stay busy and not snack my days away. It is harder than it should be.
Jan 25 - 178.4 - I am running out of projects to stay busy. Today and tomorrow I have plans both days so that should help a bit. I’ll keep at it!

@FarmerCarla I know, it's bittersweet to gain weight when you aren't stressed in a relationship, I also blame my hubby but not only because he makes me feel so content or because when I did reach 180, it didn't stop him from calling me beautiful everyday or that he loved me but because that darn man can eat whatever he wants and not gain a pound, while I wont even eat half of what he did and still managed a significant gain. Sheesh! Lucky him. I wouldn't trade him for the world though, he is amazing

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23: 230.6 @ 7:03a – It’s always very encouraging to start a round lower than you ended the previous one! I met almost all of my goals today, and I got a Fitbit green screen today for the first time in a while (accomplished goals for steps, miles, calories expended, exercise done, and flights of stairs climbed - all in the same day). The one thing that has been killing me is water intake, which gets tricky if supply is an issue or the day gets busy. I’m going to work on this tomorrow to get back in the swing of things. If this progression sticks for more than a few days then I will update my goal for the round!

01/24: ??? – I had every intention of weighing myself today, but I never got to a point in the day where I felt comfortable doing so. I was okay with this, though, as I put in a lot work to exceed my activity goals for the day. Got in 64 oz. of water to improve on the previous few days and was happy with my food choices. I was surprised with healthy stuffed peppers for dinner and adjusted for it in a way that I am confident will contribute to positive results over the next few days.
