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.
01/25: 229.8 @ 7:00a – Very glad to see that my substitutions yesterday contributed to the downward trend! I had a good amount of steps (7900+) but less steps and water intake overall. I have to come up with a plan for busy days while I am waiting for the exercise bike to arrive so that I can get my desired level of activity in! It’s Mexican for Shabbat dinner tonight, so we’ll see if the meal strategy I’ve been employing for Friday nights works out.
01/26: 230.0 @ 9:30a – Today saw more steps than the average Saturday due to adventures and errands in the snow! Another augmented eating schedule due to Shabbat, and I ate a fair amount due to delayed meals and the menu (delicious, though salty, Indian food), so I’ll have to be sure tomorrow is back to my regularly scheduled program.
01/27: 230.4 @ 8:00a – Slight, continuing uptick, but I am actually pleased that the usual spike that I get on the weekend was pretty tempered! Unfortunately, the structure and activity of the day had me off my eating schedule and present at an event (I forgot about) where I was expected to eat sugary stuff outside of my parameters. Coupled with a late dinner, I’ll probably have a gain on the scale tomorrow. I’m going to bear down and keep it very disciplined over the business week since I have an even more-event-filled weekend coming up and I’m looking to end the round under the weight I started it at!

01/28 372.6 maybe conference season wasn't the best time to do this. Maybe my calories were not accurate?

@taxgirl1 I am doing The Plan by Lynn Genet, https://lyngenet.com/. I highly recommend the book. If you fail a test, then you do a "safe" day. Once your weight goes down again, then you can test. I had done this before, so I knew that walnuts were safe for me. Most of the "water" weight that I lose is really inflammation.
I wasn't feeling well, so I forgot to post.

SW 376 – Round 66 (1/23/19)
GW 362 – Jan 31st
GW 299 – End of 2019 (6.2)
Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 376 (+0.6) - Yesterday at home, did not do steps but had a good eating day. I should have did a Leslie Sansone DVD.
01/24 374.8 (-1.2) - back on track! Now to keep it going. Back at work today. Had a salad for dinner. Overall good day today.
01/25 373.2 (-1.6) – A so so today. Got 7000 step goal in. A little over my WW points. Goal to maintain weight loss over the weekend.
01/26 no weigh in
01/27 373.2 (0.0)
01/28 370.6 (-2.6) - I had a good weekend. Weather is terrible here in shy town. Got to go get prepared for shut in. This will be a challenge but I am up for it because I want to get back in the next decade and stick it. I was thinking about having some good old Chicago home run inn pizza to celebrate weight loss today, but changed my mind. Took out some meat and will have a healthy day today. I have to get out of that cycle of celebrating weight losses with food because if triggers binges for me. To many other times to splurge when eating out to do it just to celebrate a weight loss. It is counterproductive for me. I probably already will not hit 362 but I can get close as I can get and pizza will not help me reach that goal.
I have to do some house walking, cleaning, dvd's, etc to get my step goal since working from home because of in climate weather and frigid temps coming. I am going to keep my 362 goal before me to help keep me on track while I am sequestered.

”Consistency over a day - no problem. Consistency over a week - ehh. Consistency over a month is hard. Now think about consistency over six months or a year. That takes grit, accountability and preparation.”— Author Unknown Round 64 - SW 373.4 EW 369 (-4.4)
Round 65 - SW 370.8 EW 375.4 (+4.6)
Net change 2019 = (+2.0)- 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 only experience with zucchini noodles was at Noodles & Company. I have tried the Zucchini Romensco, I love the flavor and the everything but it was very upsetting to my stomach. I thought maybe it's a one time deal so after a few months I tried it again - same thing. I get other things there and have never had a stomach issues but I'm kind of scared to try the noodles again. Have you guys had any negative bathroom experiences as a result of too many zucchini noodles? (sorry for the TMI topic) I have eaten zucchini in many ways with no issues before, just curious if it's me or the version Noodles & Company uses.
It might be the brand. I purchase them freshly made and then flavor them myself. No stomach issues.2 -

I'm not tiny yet, lol but finally finished my comparison photos for the year and OMG .... I wasn't going to share any until I was further along, but ~ it is what is ..... and no making fun of my bras!!!! Panties are the same but I needed a similar color for comparison.
Obviously still have lots of fat in need of firming, but it's damn sure motivation to keep moving, lol! Hoping to lose another 30-40 pounds and 10% more jiggly stuff by June. Pray for me please.

Thanks ladies! and LOL @Thewaffle86 I posted hoping someone would be inspired :
@shunggie I'm learning a lot and eventually would like to help others reach their weight loss goals.

Round 66
Interim goal:- 166 or less
Next big goal:- 164 - into 'just fat' and out of obese on the BMI scale
Final goal:- 134
Track every day. Walk every day if I can - it's not hard on my body, so there are no excuses.
Make good food choices, plan my meals and grocery shopping.
01/23 169 Walked 70 mins treadmill. Field trip, exhausted. Within calories but made brownies for a work birthday so calories were not good
01/24 169 Rest day, tired
01/25 169 Holding steady. 60 mins treadmill, calories within limit and tracked.
01/26 167.2 walked 90 mins on trails. Calories good choices except 2 glasses red wine
It's the weekend!
01/27 167.6 Walked again on trails, beautiful weather.
01/28 167.6 Walked on treadmill, calories not tracked yet but should be good.

@quiltingjaine I had the Roux-en-Y procedure and if I eat badly, my tummy gets really pissed off. I truly believe that it does not fail me. I might be the one who fails on my own. It is 100% a tool for me to continue to use to maintain. It’s never easy but, I would do it over again in a heartbeat.
@FarmerCarla I did get your email and will definitely get back to you, promise. Hard to do email on my phone.
@SheilaBoneham Not sure where you live but......stay warm! Ohio here and we are expecting cold temps too. Yuck!5 -
@deepwoodslady I’m honestly tempted to put some headphones in and just dance in my room at night. I am amazed at how much you and your son dance. It’s inspiring. I’m will try to “dance like no one is watching” and see if I can 1) wear myself out for bed and 2) melt off some extra pounds! Stay warm up there!8

01/26: 123.4 I need to keep in mind - "Just give me 10 days" next time I 'want' to eat candy instead of a real meal. Another poster mentioned something similar above, I have started to either feel I deserve to eat whatever I want or I am at an ok weight so therefore I can afford to eat poorly thinking it won't affect me too negatively. Or it could be something else entirely. I must stop doing it. Stop doing for the next 7 days would be a good start! I will.
01/27: 122.8 Lazy Sunday. It was a good day.
