SW: 188.6lbs
CW: 184.8lbs
GW: 135lbs

Mini target for end of Feb - to get into the 160's. This may be ambitious, but I think it will help keep me focused and on target.
TW for May 17th (start of our 1st holiday of the year) - 154lbs

SW for round: 184.8lbs
GW for round: 182lbs (If I achieve this, I will be going to my sister's 40th birthday party almost 7lbs lighter than I started the year)

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 - 185lbs - up a little from yesterday. Not surprising as didn't poop yesterday (tmi sorry, but it definitely plays a part). Ate well and drank lots so expect a drop tomorrow
01/24 - 184lbs - yay! As I expected. Things are going in the right direction again. Ate well and drank lots yesterday

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 - 61.8 kg (136.2 lbs.). A good starting point for the round. Did “six-pack in 6 weeks” with Jillian Michaels in the morning. I already logged by food for today. The result – 90kcal over the target value. We are planning a typical Bavarian dinner for my husband’s birthday tonight. Wondering about my weighing result for tomorrow.
01/24 - 61.6 kg (135.8 lbs.). Didn’t expect this after yesterday’s evening meal. 10km run in the morning. Strength training planned for the evening

22/01: 165.6: Goals Aw, well! I was sitting in meetings all day and into the evening, so I'm very pleased with my end weight. My mean weight is back down to what it was at the beginning of December. My smart scale app informs me that I will reach my goal weight 2 weeks before my birthday in April. Now, that would be a great Birthday present.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving 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!

Can’t wait to smash out round 66! Good luck everyone!

Round 65 SW245.8 EW 238.6 WL 7.2lbs

First major goal - get under 226lbs and only be obese rather than morbidly obese.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 238.4 eating and exercise were good this morning. Have my couch to 5k W2 D3 run tonight. It’s freezing in London!

01/24 237.6 Finished my run last night at did 3.3 km. It may be running and walking but it makes me feel so good! Ate really well and feel like I have so much more energy! It must actually be quite annoying!

Round 65 SW- 220.6 EW- 218.0 (-2.6lb)

Round 66 goals- Get below 214lb
Log every day
Drink more

SW- 218.0

01/23-216.2- yesterday finished at just under 1700cals, I'm happy with that.

01/24-217.4- not so good yesterday, was tempted to not log but I did. I will be having a low cal day today. I have to remind myself that one day does not take away my successes for the last few weeks, according to Fitbit I have still come away with a deficit from it anyway...so why do I feel so guilty and de-motivated?x

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

Good morning! This morning I am sure I am holding on to a bit of water weight as I overate last night!! Feeling very bleh this morning but ready for accountability throughout the next ten days.

01/24 141.4
Yay! Loss! I knew yesterday’s weight gain had to have been water weight so I drank as much water as I could yesterday and ended up having over 10,000 steps which is quite a bit since I spend the majority of my day in class and it’s absolutely freezing where I am. I also took a Pure Barre class in the evening and cooked a Hello Fresh meal that was amazing!!

Recent Start Weight: 193 (January 2017)

I’ve been in maintenance for several months until the holidays, content at around 146. I am now OVER the point at which I didn’t want to be again (150), so I’ll be getting back on track to lose back down to at least around 146 or so. May try to go lower in the new year, but we will see. For the immediate future, I just want to get and stay back under 150.

Goal for round 66= 149.x

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.

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.

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 - my scale does 1/4lb increments. Weighed after breakfast instead of before, but I doubt it'll change much.
01/24: 321.75lbs - 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.

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.

01/24 – 207.7 (3459 steps) I got back on track Wednesday. I went back to work and did a TON of meal prep when I got home. I cooked 4 pork chops, 3 round steaks, a package of large shrimp, and a package of scallops (all in the air fryer) for a total of 11 meals to cover me up and thru the weekend. Today is a NEW day!

01/23 280.6 (?) it was somewhere around there and if I don’t log things right after they happen I forget. I partied too hard this weekend...and it was hard to get back on track. My goal for this 10 days though is to be somewhere in the 270’s. It would be nice to see an overall 20 pound drop this month which I’m really close to.

01/24 280.4 I had a miserable night, I woke up with a stomachache and things spiraled out of control quickly, lol. I went to the bathroom and my stomach hurt so bad but I couldn’t get anything out and then I started sweating and cramping so bad I literally thought I was going to pass out and then OH MY GAWD the sweetest relief, swear I should have lost 2 pounds. Sorry for the tmi but I had to tell my story. I then had a really weird dream about riding my husbands Harley...yeah right. Anyhow, I have a partial day at work so I’m going to fit in a workout there and if the weather is nice go outside for some air. Hope everyone else has a good day.

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 (extremely dry, unseasoned) 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.
