SW on 01/18/19: 326lbs
GW: 234lbs (temp goal)
Round 66 Start: 323.5 End: 318
This round covers my pill break (02/01-02/08), due to PCOS I can have a lot of water weight increase. I'm willing to eat up to maintainance some days, if needed - basically giving myself extra leeway to cope with period cravings!
Day/Weight/Comment
02/02: 319.5lbs (+1.5) - Happy enough with this, ate pretty much right to my calorie goal yesterday and I think this may be around my actual weight.
02/03: 319.5 (+0) Yay for consistency.
02/04: 318.75 (-0.75) Going the right way, surprised as I'm feeling bloated as hell today.
02/05: 317.75 (-1) Wooshing! Feel like death today though.
02/06: 318 (+0.25) Happy enough, staying stable, and feeling better today again. Fish and chips tonight for my brother's birthday, will be nice! Babysitting my nephew too for a couple of hours.
02/07: 318.5 (+0.5) Earlier weigh and a gigantic meal last night, within my calorie goals though so should all even out. Yoghurt with fresh banana and a cup of tea for breakfast though, should start my day well without being too heavy. Expect to be down again by the end of the round. Had a lovely time yesterday though!

Round 66 ~|~ End Goal: < 165
01/01: 165.1: Goals ✅ Almost made it! Lol!
Round 67 ~|~ End goal: <164
02/02: 164.6: Goals Now why couldn't that have happened yesterday? Lol! Spent 4 hours walking round Belfast City with my daughters. Some offbeat food choices, but well under goal. Mostly water weight, I think.
03/02: 164.8: Goals ✅ Family visits today. Didn't over-indulge. Took it easy exercise wise.
04/02: 164.9: Goals ✅ I had meetings before/after lunch, but was able to fit in some exercise. Walked my steps up after dinner.
05/02: 164.8: Goals ✅ I had meeting in the morning and evening. Felt a bit bleaugh! In the afternoon and took it easy, then Will Power decided to desert me after dinner, and because I had spare calories, I ate a few snacks when I was out and before bed. It will have consequences, but the beauty of life is that we get a fresh start every single day.
06/02: 164.9: Goals: ✅ Planning to walk and go to the gym later. (I walked over an hour at the mall + some more later on the treadmill at gym, also did stationary bike and weights circuit.)
07/02: 164.9: Goals: I have a dance class this morning, and planning a arms session later.
THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02- 212.6- I had an alright day yesterday, 2000cals eaten and 13600 steps, so I came away with a deficit. Aunt Flo came to visit today so I'm alright with my weight staying steady.
02/03- 211.4lb- whoo! 550cals yesterday, 9900steps. Over the last week I averaged 12,000steps a day, very pleased with that. We have my sons class puppet staying with us for the week so we are going to treat him to a cinema trip today, a large Diet Coke for me. My partner will cook enchiladas for our tea tonight, already looking forward to it X
02/04- 211.2lb- 9500steps, 1300cals, no popcorn, yay! On the down side we got to the cinema and then we realised we'd left the class puppet at home...not so good. Today is miserable and rainy here so I'm opting for staying at home and cracking on with housework, fun fun fun, I will have to make sure I stick to my calories today so I still come away with a nice deficit X
02/05- 210.6lb- I did very well yesterday with eating, managed to stay within my fasting limit. Steps could of been better at about 8000. Today's goal is to stay under 1700cals, I'm going to eat a fulfilling breakfast before going and doing our weekly food shop X
02/06- 211.4lb- Did well yesterday, stuck to my calorie goal, quite a salty day so I'm not surprised by the bump up on the scales. Today is a fast day and trying to get in plenty of steps and maybe even a workout video after kids have gone to bed though my thighs and bum are still aching from Monday's attempts!x
02/07- 211.4lb- 24,500 steps yesterday, 700cals, a very good day. On another note though my new scales have come and confirm that my current scales are out by quite a bit 😓. I will wait until the end of the month to swap to them completely as I'm on the biggest loser challenge and don't want to mess up my numbers there but then il have to take the hit of about a 10lb increase...not good but ultimately for the last month I have still been exercising and eating well, none of that has changed, just the number on the scales. Still can't help but feel a little de-motivated by it though, I feel like I have to do all of January's work again X

End R66 - 149.90lb - Round loss 0.00lb - Loss to date 8.60lb
Disappointed with the last round as didn't feel the scales accurately reflected my 10 days. Going to try and change up my diet a bit this round and try and get out walking a bit more (already do 10k+ steps a few days a week so going to try and achieve this every day) along with keeping up my weekly swim one day a week and twice weekly gym PT session. Here we go!!!!
Round Target - lose 1.50-2lb
02/01 - 149.90
02/02 - 149.00lb (-0.90lb) Yay - off to a good start. Was a good food day and also walked 13k steps yesterday too - more of the same then I guess
02/03 - DNW - 10,561 steps
02/04 - 150.40lb - AARRGH!!! Back up we go again. Hoping this is just the weekend taunting me....... Found this pretty easy last year, but not so far this year ? Not doing anything really that different (have gone back and looked over my food diaries - is it that "(peri)-menopause thing" that makes it so much harder ? May investigate this a bit more.....
Didn't have my fitbit on yesterday but was busy all day cleaning and doing housework (builder are still going!). Planned walk later for the school run and then another one later on too. Hoping to see a drop tomorrow
02/05 - 149.90 down 0.50lb today but back to this number AGAIN! Fourth time in two weeks I've seen this number and would love it to be the last! Did my planned walks yesterday (14K steps in total) - unlikely to be so many today but will get in what walking I can and I am also at the gym tonight for an hour. Food all planned for today, will aim to drink more water as been a bit lax on that front recently and hope tomorrow sees another drop - anything less that 149.90lb - please!!!
02/06 - 150.40lb - here AGAIN!!!! Beginning to think my scales may be stuck in some horrendous loop
8,020 steps yesterday plus a weights session at the gym so that was all good and so was my food (I thought). Decided last night to go back to one of my earlier food diaries when I was losing weight relatively easily and repeat it today and see what happens...... I refuse to give up though - 5 days left of this round to crack it! Also planning a walk later after work .....
02/07 - 149.50lb down 0.90lb - OK this is good, heading in the right direction and my scale didn't stop on 149.90 again! Did my 10,000 steps yesterday and my food was spot on. Food planned for the day and will also be at the gym tonight for an hour - I shall continue my quest .....

02/05 170.6
02/06 169
02/07 168.8 - yay! i’ve been eating mostly clean the last few days and doing my isagenix shakes mainly for breakfast and lunch... i’m up early today-5am and motivated. Need to either get to the gym or go to my basement for a workout. There was an ice storm yesterday so usually i would lean to the gym but basement is looking good when i think of the roads.
Also 168.8 has been my “all time” low since I started this year... So I really really want to move past it and down to the low 168s and then 167!

Not weighed since since last Tuesday, so I could be lower - hopefully so
Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 Unable to weigh. Arrived back home this afternoon so I will weigh in again tomorrow morning.
02/03 11st 5.0lb Very happy with this...now to be careful as I have been invited out to my daughter's house for the day including lunch
02/04 11st 5.8lb Well, some weight put on. It was difficult to estimate the food I was given but I refused a pudding which was 333 calories! My son on law opened a bottle of champagne which only he and I had - he had bought it for us to share on New Year's day but as my daughter was not well, I didn't go there. I ended up drinking 3 glasses of that...fatal.
02/05 11st 5.6lb Ate just under mfp calories and none of my exercise calories which were higher than usual. Hopefully it's water retention which has kept my weight up - I had some crisps before bed. I treated myself as my net calories were quite low. Bad idea.
02/06 11st 6.2 Again - ate under my mfp calories and none of my exercise calories. No salty foods and ate nothing in the evening. My neighbour brought me round some flavoured water which had nil calories! However, I had a long session at the dentist having a root canal treatment and my face was swollen still in the evening, so maybe that contributed.
02/07 11st 5.4lb Finally going back down. Eating at 1200 only gives me a deficit of 200 from my maintenance level, so ignoring the first 300 exercise calories is the only way to get a 500 deficit, and I don't get that many exercise calories every day.

05/02 So I am just back from my holiday in Gran Canaria, I missed Round 66 due to the holiday and being ill, still a little unwell but had some weigh in details on my trend app so have taken the figure from that. Big swing today is from very sodium-laden pizza last night as got home later than expected and I haven't had a chance to meal prep over the weekend since I got back, just easing back into it this week, as always struggling to get back into a routine. So trying to focus just on averaging calories over the week this round. I will get back into my fitness routine next week when I am feeling a little less run down.
06/02 Good day calorie-wise but low on protein, will bring the average up over the week. Took my bike out for it's first spin to work yesterday - didn't die - so that's an NSV for the week I have my pole dance class this evening and a lot of walking to do today from work then to/from pole class which is about 10km in all.
07/02 Yesterday had a very active day 10km of walking (with a little jog also), 2 hour Pole Therapy Class and about a further 3000 incidental steps on top of that, seem to be back in the swing with my deficit again, need to get back to my macro focus next week.10 -
You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. MaxwellRound 67: My focus is to continue tracking streak, drink more water and be active every day in some way shape or form!
My goal for 2019 is to get into ONEderland. Changing my life.
Plans:
- Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target 70k steps per week
- Drink more water (target min 64 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
- Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018)
- Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
- Drink less alcohol (4 AF days per week; ~16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Posting weight each morning, and comments for the previous day.
2/2 - 237.4 - walked 1+ miles 3x, bike 12 min, steps 12873, 80oz water, track, V, AF; Developed a schedule for daily/weekly routine for the first 4 months of retirement that includes exercise every morning and then weekly - meal planning + grocery list, anti-procrastination projects, vacation planning, gardening, culling through boxes of pictures, spanish lessons etc. Setting the time aside.
2/3 - 237.5 - walked 2.5 miles before brunch, steps 12373, 80oz water, track V, AF; Wonderful brunch which included Chantilly cake to celebrate my retirement. I believe this is the last celebration but of course will not be the last food challenge in 2019.
2/4 - 236.7 - walked 3.5 miles, steps 12171, 80oz water, track, V, AF It was a good day.
2/5 - 237.4 - walked 2 miles, 15 min bike, steps 13601, 48oz water, track, V, AF It was a good busy day. Don’t get discouraged that the scale went up … keep focused.
2/6 - 237.8 - walked 2+ miles, yoga, planks, hand weights, gardening, steps 14056, 64 oz water, track, V, AF. Snacking and 2nds on pasta were my downfalls.
2/7 - 236.7 - walked 4+ miles, 15 min bike, steps 15560, 64 oz water, track, V, AF. Felt like I accomplished a lot today. Anti-Procrastination Day!13 -

Day/Weight/Comment
02/03 – no scale, went over calories and had beer, but planning on a walk in the morning.
02/04 – 194.7 – I’m actually ok with this. I gained less than a pound. Didn’t eat like a wanted, but went on an hour hike, so didn’t really go over my calories. No alcohol. Hopefully if I drink all my water and stay away from salt today it will come back down.
02/05 – 194.9 – up a little, but still under 195. I had 2 beers last night and a hamburger and tater tots. I did start C25K and drank all my water. Also did 20 squats.
02/06 – 194.2 – on the right track and hopefully tomorrow will be 194 or below. I recorded all food, drank all water, and no alcohol, but no exercise.
02/07 – 193.6 – YEA! Recorded all food, drank all my water, no alcohol, and did 2nd day of C25K.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 194.2 Had some wine last night, but kept everything else on plan. Did not get any excercise. Today is a beutiful day, so my goal is 15,000 steps.
02/03 194.4 Walked 5 miles around the lake yesterday. Had some wine last night but stuck with my keto foods and was within my calorie count.
02/04 195.4 Walked 6 miles, fasted until 3, but apparently the cheese and nuts got me. Back on IBIH soup plan for the work week.
02/05 196.2 Don't know how I
m up, but I'm just going to keep plugging along.....
02/06 194.8 NSV I walked into our faculty meeting yesterday to a table full of chips, dips, snack mixes and king cake. I avoided all of it and just sipped my herbal tea. I've stuck with my plan and got 12,000 steps yesterday. Would like to see my hard work reflected on the scale....
02/07 194.6 so slow.........Hoping for a big drop in a few days. I'll just keep plugging along...

02/02 204.6 saved my calories to go to Blaze pizza last night, it was sooooo disappointing, they don't have the same toppings, the service was awful....I hate when a meal is so not worth it!
02/03 204.6
02/04 203.8 Happy to be down. I think my body is adjusting to the changes I am making, and I need to switch things up. Not sure how I will do that yet, but thinking about it. Have good week everyone!
02/05 203.2 Lots of protein and water yesterday. Made it to kickboxing too.
02/06 203.2 I am not going to lie, I was a bit disappointed. I confess sometimes I weigh myself before bed, and see if I anticipate a lower number in the am.... I did, and it didn't pan out
That ok, not a gain... I will take it!

Day/Weight/Comment02/06 - 200.2 (6421 steps) 41 mins on bike (8.54 miles) Tuesday was an okay day. Stressful at work but, that isn’t anything new. I work in a VERY hectic occupational medicine office and I am the only one who does what I do for 2 providers and all our workers comp patients. Ugh! Did a bit more meal prep. Not sure how far it will get me but, it’s better than not being prepared and eating like an idiot.
02/02 - 201 (2380 steps) I’m not gonna lie. I was a complete slug on Friday. We got 6 inches of snow and I didn’t go to work. I didn’t exercise. I was wayyyyyy over on my eating. It was more of an 80/20 day. Not a complete blow out. I just needed a break for a moment. Now I’m back on track!!! 😁😁
02/03 - 199.9 (7331 steps) I rode Spark for 45 mins on Saturday at the barn. I avoided bagels and donuts brought by other clients. I didn’t binge when I got home. It was a good day but, I am sore!
02/04 - 201.3 (6074 steps) 31 mins on bike (6.84 miles) Just call me a yo-yo this past weekend. On Sunday I did really well until mid-afternoon and then I just wanted to eat!!! What the heck? So I did but, I know Monday is meal prep day after work and I can usually do sooo much better on weekdays. I can get over my weekend hump. No problem. I got this.
02/05 - 200.7 (5994 steps) 35 mins on the bike (7.52 miles) Yesterday was Meal Prep Monday. I got caught up on making food for the week. This week is pork chops and Fusia chicken fried rice (both from Aldi). Feeling in better control of my hunger.
02/07 - 200.7 (6902 steps) 43 mins on bike (9.09 miles) Had dinner with my girlfriends at a sushi place. It was an 80/20 day and I am okay with that. As long as I don’t do that all the time, I should be okay. Got a call to dog sit this weekend for a family going out of town. Need to plan what to do for meals. That’s usually when I scavenge and lose all control.
*********
I have been lazy reading posts the last 2 days. I will hopefully get back and check everyone’s progress later tonight. Hope everyone is fit and fabulous!!!15 -

Round 67 SW: 216
02/02—215.8—This was a very late weigh-in.
02/03—215.2—Also a later weigh-in than normal. Did a ton of exercising yesterday and was basically a single meal all day at a great Mexican restaurant.
02/04—216—Early weigh-in. Had a good eating day. Did another round of my push ups challenge. I'm a little achy today in my shoulders and my head. Bleh. My head feels like a sinus issue. BLEH! Oh, I'm complainy!
02/05—215.6—I was half expecting a gain despite being within calories. Lots of different weigh-in times this round so it's harder to discern a pattern. Tonight, I'm hoping to try another push ups test to see if I can do 45!
02/06—216—I feel like a hovercraft hovering over this number! I didn't do the push ups last night. I felt an all-over ache that just made me think I needed to get some more rest. Tonight's the night!
02/07—214.4—I DID 46 PUSH UPS IN A ROW LAST NIGHT. Of course, my reward is that now I have to do a harder workout... This was an early weigh-in so I'm very pleased at the number on the scale. Got a lot of exercise yesterday between cardio and strength. Plank jump-ins are rather evil.

This is my fourteenth round (following my lucky thirteenth in which I finally showed my January loss!) I set some mini-goals for another challenge. My prospects had been looking pretty bleak, but I did actually see January's goal of 149 on 1/30, even though I ended the 10 days at 151. I would love to get to 148 this round...but would be happy at 149 as well! We can do it! Stay strong everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 - 150 -- Looking to see that elusive 149 again, but this is in the right direction! Yesterday I walked, did strength class and yoga. Then I donated blood and ate some carbs, but not too many! Hoping to continue last 10 days good trend and get back on track for my mini-goals. Although I realized I might have to revise them anyway as I somehow planned on keeping up a pound a week loss right up to goal weight. It might make more sense to aim for 1/2 pound a week as I move from 145 to 135!
02/03 - 149 !! Ok. Second time with the 149! I'm going to say January mini-goal achieved!
02/04 - 151 -- Ate a few carbs yesterday, but mostly did pretty well and no alchohol, so I'm a bit miffed at this number!
02/05 - 151-- Felt crazy yesterday. I'm blaming hormones. Tried not to eat everything in sight. I wasn't hungry...really....just wanted sweets desperately. Still stayed within calories and didn't do badly on carbs either. Really wanting to be in the 140's!
02/06 - 152 -- I was still a little cranky yesterday. And hungry. Ate well, exercised well, lots of steps. I'm definitely retaining a bit of water. Drank a TON today (of water!) and hoping that helps tomorrows numbers!
02/07 - 151 -- Still retaining water. A bit frustrated. Good news is the random bad mood is mostly gone!

02/05 - Just a quick commitment tonight to say I will weigh in tomorrow morning and commit to the remainder of this round! I was going to wait til next round, but no better time than the present. I'll probably be up a bit from Superbowl indulgences amd stress eating thru my job searching. But gotta get back in the swing of things or it will just keep going up and ill keep making excuses!
02/06 - Wednesday - 180.8 - Whoops! I stress ate granola before bed last night too even after making this commitment. I've definitely been eating over maintenance more often than not so this is really not a surprise. What's important is that I keep pressing onward! I think I've made a choice on the job hunt. It has not been easy and will not get any easier for some time...but the busier I am, the more structure I add to my life, the more I can hone in a process and stick to it. I need to have confidence in myself and my choices and execute them! Glad to be back!
02/07 - Thursday - 178.8 - whoosh! Baby steps! I was working yesterday so my habits come a lot easier than when im at home. I'm home today but I'm off to a good start! Feeling incresibly busy despite workong part time. Adding as much structure to life as possible to keep me on track.

10 day goal - continue doing 30 days yoga with Adrienn (youtube), completing day 15 on 02/12.
02/02 - 143.2 Yesterday went great! And this morning I was delighted to find myself even closer to my goal. Tonight might be challenging as I have a date. But I chose the skating rink because then I'll be getting active and I don't have to eat anything there (although I might, but I'll be sure to log!) And this guy is in recovery so I won't be drinking around him either. I think this should be pretty fun overall.
02/03 - 143.2 As of this morning I met my mini goal of 7 days in a row of yoga. Yesterday was challenging with food because I snacked instead of having meals and by 5pm I only had 130 calories left for the day so I went hungry on my date. We didn't go skating because it was too crowded and instead saw a movie. When I got home at midnight famished I had my last 130 calories. But overall I am content because I enjoyed myself and didn't break my calorie goal.
02/04 - 144 Yesterday was another great day. I enjoyed spending time with my roommate and went out with my friend. He got a bottle of this super delicious Cab called 19 Crimes, so I ended up over my calorie goal because I drank a few glasses. And even though the scale reflects my lapse in rigidity I'm not sweating it because I had a great time and I completed day 8 of yoga this morning.
02/05 - 143.4 I think I'm doing a lot right. I hope I continue on in this way. I just ordered a fitbit flex 2 on Amazon this morning. It will be here on Thursday. I'm hoping the will encourage me to be more active, take more long walks. Yoga is still going well though!
02/06 - 141.8 I woke up super dihydrated this morning, so I'm guessing this huge jump is due to that as I didn't do anything special yesterday. Or it's some kind of delayed loss, which would be great! Or it's a combination of the two, which would also be great! Today is my day off so I'll be cleaning all day. Super excited to be up and moving so much! Haven't completed day 10 of yoga yet so that's on my aggenda after breakfast 🙂
02/07 142.6 So yesterday I did my yoga and made sure to drink plenty of water. I'm not surprised by this number. I take it as a win!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/01 180.8
02/02 181.6 Sigh. In the past year, I’ve made very little progress. I’ve lost 10 lbs, then gained five and lost and gained those same five for eight months. To tell the truth, sometimes I wonder why I log and report on this site. Truthfully, the reporting reflects my effort. It’s not like I’ve watched every morsel or even made great strides with exercise. In the end, I suppose, keeping track has stopped my monumental weight gain in its tracks and that’s something. I have 50 pounds to lose, gained over years of raising kids, job and marriage stress and just plain having too many birthdays. While the actual weight loss has been a failure so far, I’m going to count my of my issues and stopping the rolling weight gain as a win. In April, I will start a new MFP year, let’s see what I can do by then.
02/03 180,6 Bouncy, bouncy bounce.
02/04 180.2
02/05 180.0
02/06 179.8
02/07 181.8 Over calories by 600 yesterday. This can’t be it. This calls for a water flush today. (Of course, that included a whole bag of licorice Allsorts.)
