Female, 52 years old
SW: 230 lbs 1/1/19
mini GW: 175
Round 66 EW: 220.4 (-2)
Goals for R67: drink my water, close my circles, > 10K steps daily, journal my food
Day/Weight/Comment:
02/02 219.8 drank my water, closed my circles, > 13k steps. Off to a good start! In January, I didn’t really change my food, but I did drop alcohol for #dryjanuary and added in exercise. I wanted to try and incorporate small changes along the way that I could sustain. This month I will really start tracking food, and being aware of making better choices. 🤞🏻
02/03 219.6 drank my water, closed my circles, only 8K steps as I was in the car most of the day. About to go walk now, but is anyone else worried about overeating/drinking at the Superbowl parties? Thinking I need to plan for the number to go up some the next few days.

02/04 . 220.4 drank my water, closed my circles, 10K steps...but the Superbowl was so booooring that I ate my way right through it! Back on it today!
02/05 220.2 drank my water, closed my circles, 12.7K steps. Hoping to see a nice downward slide soon!
02/06 219.8 drank my water, closed my circles, 12.7K steps. Argh. Wished for more today!
02/07 219.4 **didn't get to update yesterday, but had weighed in.
02/08 219.0 a bit frustrated now that 7 days later all I've lot is .8lbs! But to be truthful with myself, my exercise has been great but I've had a couple big meals the last few days.
02/09 218.2 - Last night I was grumpy, didn't go to the gym, and drank 2 glasses of wine. Now this morning my scale has finally moved a bit and I'm so mad at myself!! LOL that wine is going to show up sometime! Back to the gym today! Happy Saturday!
02/10 217.6 closed my circles with 60 minutes on the treadmill, just about all my water. Today I'm starting my food journal. I keep doing it sporadically, but not with fidelity. I think I will write it in a journal instead of on MFP, because everytime I see all those numbers, I get hungry!! I've been listening to the podcast Phit-n-Phat - anyone else listen to Corrinne? I think she speaks my love language!
02/11 217.4 Rocked the treadmill yesterday with over 60 minutes, and started my food journal. Pretty happy overall with the results of this challenge.

02/02: 122.8 Day one of ten! Here we go.
02/03: 122.6 Hey y’all. Go Rams. Come on!
02/04: 122.6
02/05: 122.6 I’m not gaining so I will shut my trap about my consistency on the scale. Ugh. I really don’t want to work out.
02/06: 122.6
02/07: 122.6 it’s a good day.
02/08: 122.0 and a better day today with my little loss! Yay.
02/09: 122.0 grocery shopping this morning and bought a little bag of candy corn. I’ve had some and that’s fine but the rest is going in the trash right after I post this. Can’t have a catastrophe on day 8! Lol
02/10: 122.6 and hello again.
02/11: 122.6 viola!8 -
My daughter just taught me how to do the copy paste thing on my iPhone. So. I should be good now. Lol. Joan8

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.

02/03 166.6 Treadmill 90 mins while talking to my Mum on FT....yikes, its hard to talk and do up and down hills! Dog #1 wasn't too well, worrying day but she seems to have perked up. Not sure why since the Rams lost:( Tracked but am over on calories today. Probably see it on the scale tomorrow.
02/04 166.8 Treadmill 70 mins. Sick dog again last night, been up since 3am. Was on the treadmill at 3:45
Didn't want to waste the time being up and about. Long day, early bed. Tracked - all good.
02/05 167 Treadmill 70 mins. (just looked back at this post - mis-typed that number.

02/02 184. 8 This is exciting! starting off strong! finally a whoosh!
02/03 183.8 The whoosh continues! I stayed on point this weekend. did have drinks friday and saturday, but my goal is to have 5 AF days so I'm on track with that as well.
02/04 185.6 bouncy scale. Not sure why! but the trend line is still going down so hopefully I can get rid of it soon.
02/05 183.6 bounce back, I guess! I like this better. Maybe it can stick this time.!
I worked out for the first time with my PT yesterday. I have been lifting weights and gym for many years without getting the results I want, so I decided to get some outside motivation. She corrected my form a bit on bench press, which is exactly what I"m looking for, so great day all around.
02/06 186.0 this seems like a crazy number but what can you do? I slept with my rings on and I could tell when I woke up that my hands were swollen, so obviously this is water weight but it seems a bit extreme...
02/07 184.4 Haha, who knows what the scale will do tomorrow? I've been staying on plan all week and getting a lot of exercise so I am feeling pretty good either way. Fingers crossed for a good loss or at least continuing downward.
02/08 183.0 down again!
02/09 183.6 Up again!
02/10 184.2 no, wrong way...
02/11 184.2 well I really thought I was going to make it to my goal this round, but just a bit shy. On to the next!8 -
In for another round, thanks for helping me stay on track! Goal for this round -2.5lbs

02/03:190.8 this am
02/04:!189.0 post workout. last night was stressed about work and took it out on way too many “handfuls” of salted sunflower seeds. Lots of sodium will need to keep my water up today. Was surprised by this number
02/05: 188.6 great day yesterday was under caps and resisted drinking alcohol:
02/06: 186.6 this am it’s real I checked three times! Today officially marks 10 lbs down since joining! Yay! I swear I didn’t want to work out this am but after seeing this number....off to the gym ✌🏽
02/07: 189.9 and a bounce. Was very active yesterday but also had some emotional eating last night and didn’t track so unsure of where I was on calories. Way under on water. Goal for today 80oz let’s get back on track 💪🏾
02/08:192.2 this is so depressing. Got my workout in today. Need to track my food and pay attention to water today. No more ETOH 😫. I’m so ready to be out of 190s for good
02/09: didn’t weigh
02/10: didn’t weigh

Hello Friends! Hope all is well. Sorry I have been MIA. Hope to join you all soon
I have my weights...I have been comfort eating so I am up. Having real life pain right now. If I don't join you all next round, I will before month end for sure. Not sure I will try to catch up at this point.
What do you all normally do when you miss rounds? Do you go back and try to catch up? or jump in when you can? For me I think I am just going to jump in when I can...... There are only a few more days left on this one so I think I will wait until round 68 starts?? Please message me if possible or reply here. I will see messages sooner.....
You all are rocking just being here gain or lose. If you are losing.....awesome indeed.....whoohooo and by all means .....Keep up the good work! 
:flowerforyou:
Have a great weekend everyone!
@IsMollyReallyHungry
I would not go back & try to catch up old rounds with your notes. I would just jump in now. start logging & weighing. Make your new goals. If you keep a spoiler, just skip the round numbers you missed, but continue listing the ones you do participate in like this:
Round 60 EW 200.0
Round 61 EW 198.7
Round 62 Did Not Track
Round 63 EW 201.6
Round 64 EW 200.1
Then take it from there. What really counts is that you are logging & participating when you can. Welcome back!

@MadisonMolly2017 Did I tell you that whenever I read your posts the cheerleaders in my brain are chanting, “Go Mol-ly! Go Mol-ly! Go Mol-ly!”
@IsMollyReallyHungry I hope you are okay. To answer your question, with about 1000 comments each round, I think I would just jump in anew. I’m going to be MIA for 11 or 12 days starting a week from Monday - mostly with no internet. I will not try to read every post.

02/02 149.7 yesterday was a good day. I'm nervous about tomorrow. I have two food centered event today, including a chocolate chip cookie bake off and a dumpling party. Lord, give me strength.
02/03 149.6 lesson for the day... When you don't get a lot of calories allotted for each day (1200), eating a cookie eats up like a quarter of your calories. That's insane. And leaves you feeling pretty hungry, since a cookie does not satiate. It was really hard not to over eat yesterday. I made it, and the scale obviously forgave me for the cookie bake off I attended, but really hard. What are people's strategies for making it through today? (those of you watching that sports thing going on).
02/04 150.4 eek. I ate at or pretty close to at my target calories, but salt got me and the two drinks I had when I've been dry for the part month. Super bowl partial sabotage. Actually, not that bad. I still feel good, and I did an hour of yoga this morning.
02/05 149.8 doing all the right things, so I'll have faith that, in the long run, I'll break though this little one pound yo yo thing.
02/06 149.8 sigh. It's not possible that I can be eating a maintenance amount of calories. I hope I break this plateau soon.
02/07 149.0 ¡por fin!
02/08 148.7 I had a really good day yesterday. Two workouts. Ate tons of protein. Some really nice conversations with friends. But, best of all, the better eating has improved my energy levels. I usual spend the afternoon exhausted and ready to fall asleep by four. That's not been happening recently.
02/09 148.3 So, scale is not reflective of the quality of my eating yesterday. I had a school even for which I baked/catered and did some new things, so I felt like I hat to try my new creations (orange cardamom chocolate chip muffins and Japanese milk bread cinnamon rolls). The sugar hit me hard in the afternoon and I ended up needing a nap around five. I tried to make up for it by going to jiu-jitsu this morning. On the plus side...
I logged everything and I still stayed within my calorie goals. Salad and a lot of chicken breast to balance all those simple carbs.
02/10 148.3 Ate fine, not great. Worked out really hard at jiu jitsu in the morning. So, so, so sore. If I ever come into money, I'm going to hire a live in massage therapist.
02/11 149 I'm fine with this I've been doing all the right things and logging, so, slow and steady.7 -

02/04 = (no weigh-in) So I've had a funky last few months. I started a new job 2.5 months ago (good thing, but stressful). I got some bad news about the osteoarthritis in my reconstructed right knee. My wife and I are trying to have a baby. We're also trying to buy a house. I've been in the throes of my sugar addiction, I haven't been exercising at all, and I've gained back just about everything I lost last year. I've been trying to get myself back to a "healthy" state of mind for a while now, but I've been feeling guilty and stupid for leaving this community in the first place. Rather than "pick up where I left off," I'm going to start over (no posting my history). We'll see how it goes, as I can always look it up later if I really want to. The bottom line is, coming here and posting every morning really worked for me before. Having your support really worked for me.
I'm trying really hard to be kind and forgiving to myself. I'm really angry that I let things go as far as I think they have. I'm really going to try to stay around for a while, 10 days at a time, just like I did before. I'll weigh-in tomorrow morning to see where I'm at. Thanks in advance for letting me hang around.
02/05 = 221.8 (-0.2), BF% =18.7 (no change). First weigh-in and post in a long time. I was under calories yesterday and on point in macros. No sweets. So far, so good.
02/06 = 218.2 (-3.6), BF% = 18.3 (-0.4). Didn't take long for that first WHOOSH. I was under calories yesterday, even if I didn't hit my macros exactly the way I wanted to. It feels good to be back. I had a "chubby" coworker mention today that we have the exact same belly. I was both "thrown off" by the comment, and frustrated at the same time. It figures that someone would notice me being chubby the moment I get back into health and fitness. Rather than being angry with the universe, I'll acknowledge that I'm listening to what the universe has to say. I have to say, being back in this challenge feels pretty natural. I'm going to have to spend some time figuring out exactly why I left in the first place...
02/07 = 216.2 (-2.0), BF%.= 18.1 (-0.2). Another decent day eating. I'm generally sticking to keto, and I'm getting under my calorie goal every day. Keto is a definite quick start/boost for my weight loss, and I'm okay with that. I've really wanted this for a long time. So glad to be back!
02/08 = 214.6 (-1.6), BF% = 17.9 (-0.2). I forgot how fast weight drops off in the first week of keto. Not complaining! Truth is, I'm only half-@$$ing it (the keto part). I do lots of avoiding (no sugar, no rice, no pasta, [usually] no bread), but at this point I'm really focusing on portion control (until I can get myself fully back in to food-prepping, which is hard). So far, so good! Waiting for my first "bump" in the road, which will inevitably come... it has to. Preparing myself for it. It's not a bad thing, it's just part of the journey. It will always be there. Until then, however, I'm going to enjoy my "fun" streak (7.4 lbs in 4 days), and see how long I can keep it going.
02/09 = 215.2 (+0.6), BF% = 18.0 (+0.1). I was out for dinner with wife at brother-in-law's, and I did pretty well. He's pushy though. I had one more drink than I wanted, and a SMALL dessert that I didn't want either. I'm okay with where I'm at today. Going to a baby shower lunch in a bit. No idea what for will be like. Going to try to be mindful, and I'm going to track everything. Wish me luck!
02/10 = 217 (+1.6), BF% = 18.2 (+0.2). The food at the baby shower was off the hook! I was keto all the way, but volume was a bit of an issue. Two glasses of Cab Sauv. Dinner was another story. Had a burger and a half at my favorite spot, plus 3-4 onion rings. Could have been worse? Stayed 100% away from sweets. Small victories! that being said, still doing pretty well for the week. Going to try to finish strong today.
02/11 = 217 (no change), BF% = 18.2 (no change). Had dinner at parents', which involved a couple of drinks and a TINY bit of dessert. I'm happy enough with where I'm at for the challenge. ON TO THE NEXT! (Sorry about posting late)

ROUND 67 (Round 13 for me)
5’5” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 135 lb.
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-66 = 38.4 lb.
I like you folks, and I really appreciate and enjoy your company. Besides, I’m not sure I can stay on track without you!
Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 139.8 I’m starting this round .2 lb. above yesterday’s weight, but I had a short night, so I’m grateful it wasn’t higher. One way or another, I’ll have to get in a walk tomorrow. For this evening, I’ll complete my pushups and sit-ups. My pushups are still wimpy, but I’ll get stronger.
02/03 139.8 Again. Oh, well, tomorrow could be worse. I walked over 6 miles today, and that usually stunts my loss for a day. I ate more than usual this evening, too, watching the football game with my Boston-area born husband. He was happy with the game. We ate some of his left-over ribs from our date yesterday, and I made keto sausage cheese balls/puffs. I feed him extra carbs (he had the rest of his sweet potato this evening), but he likes most of my keto foods. We didn’t have company, so I have a lot of the sausage cheese puffs left—I’ll have three or four with a boiled egg for a quick breakfast before I leave for work in the morning.
02/04 140.6
02/05 140.4
02/06 140.6 I got busy and fell behind! I did another 6+ mile walk with Thor today. I have a strong desire to get below 140 again before the round is over. I haven’t logged calories for the last 3 days (experimenting), but I may have to start again. I was supposed to do push-ups and sit-ups yesterday, but I received the second shingles vaccine, and my arm is very sore. I think I can do the sit-ups this evening, but I’m not sure about the push-ups. Our local “pizza paradise” has started making a gluten free/cauliflower crust pizza that we tried this evening. It was good, but I wouldn’t know how to log it if I was logging. I had ¼ of a 10” pizza, which shouldn’t be too bad. I liked it. My husband prefers the regular crust, but agreed he could eat this one again.
02/07 139.8 I’m glad to be back under 140, if only barely. Six of our card playing group played canasta most of the day and the husband of our hostess prepared a very tasty low-carb soup and salad lunch. I ate some of the sugar-free peach pie our hostess baked, even though peaches not being part of my eating plan. Despite the pain from my vaccination on Tuesday, I was able to complete my sit-ups and push-ups last night, which made me happy. I have a rash at the vaccination site, but my arm is less sore today.
02/08 140.2
02/09 139.8 Yesterday, I was up early, worked on tax returns for almost 12 hours, and returned home exhausted. Today, I was up early helping with the community pancake breakfast (I only ate eggs and sausage). I did my shopping and took a 2-hr. nap before taking a 3 mile walk. I feel much better this evening.
02/10 138.8 I’m ready for that! If I hold that one more day, I can end the round with a loss. I’m making our breakfast, then it’s off to church we go. The gospel group I sing with has an engagement this evening, so traveling and performing will fill the remainder of the day.
02/11 139.4 I was such a dummy this morning! I had to get ready for work, and instead of weighing right away, I decided to fix my hot tea and breakfast, then keep it warm until after I weighed. As soon as breakfast was ready, I forgot and ate before I remembered to weigh in. I shouldn’t let it bother me—I should just accept that I’m flaky! Sooner or later, I’ll get where I want to be. On to the next round!

02/06- 61.60 ....Thanks Ben and Jerry 🙄
02/07- 61.95 need to refocus!
02/08- 61.65 - all week I've over-eaten sugar. The table of temptation at work has been bursting with cakes and I've indulged! I think it has been made worse by not enough sleep! 4 days off now so time to get back on track before the end of this round.
02/09- 61.60 - no snacking in the evening but had lots during the day
02/10- 61.45 - slowly heading back to where I was last round. Resolution for next week - back to the running, weights & yoga. This week I just did step and netball.
02/11- 61.60....whoops....discipline is what I need.
02/12- 61.9 - yesterday I was disciplined for about an hour after writing the post and it went down hill fast! More discipline in the next round

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. ✅All in all, a good day. Our daughter came for dinner, but she's doing Slimming World, so there were no temptations.
08/02: 164:8: Goals: ✅ *sigh* Plateaux are the pits! But they are a part of the process which we have to accept. This, too, shall pass! Noticed this morning that my muscle mass has increased from 27.2 to 27.4 which could explain this plateau. Had an busy day, but stayed up way too late.
09/02: 164.9: Goals: Gym session with my PT this afternoon. ✅ Also did a shedload more exercise for a challenge, so expecting a little rise as body retains water for muscle repair.
10/02: 165.0: Goals: Planning a rest day today after my exertions yesterday. NSV: I did measurements today and waist and underbust are both down an inch since I last measured in Nov. Legs/arms look more toned, but no reduction in size. So gym training seems to be paying off. ✅ I had a more active day than anticipated because of a challenge)
11/02: 165.0: Goals: Gentle exercise after my intense 2 days of strength.
Not sure if the stall/increase is because of weekend food choices, increased strength training, or both. It's sometimes a trade-of situation when one decides to work on muscle toning. Looking forward to Round 68.
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.

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.
08/02 Had a terrible night's sleep last night which has resulted in me being ravenous today so going to try and volume eat at dinner and bulk out my meal with as many veg as possible. Still feeling DOMS from pole class, a little uncomfortable but in a good way. Probably TMI but whilst I've been ill my BMs are all to pot which could also be a reason for the lack of movement on the scale, can't blame the scale batteries, changed them yesterday
11/02 This is the first really lazy weekend I've had in ages and it was awesome, still I was 2100 calories under my goal for the week and got a little bit of strength training in yesterday afternoon. Think I may have to head to the doctors later this week if my ear, nose & throat infection still hasn't cleared itself as it's been at me for almost 3 weeks now.
12/02 That's me on anti-biotics and steroid spray to try and finally clear the infection I've been fightin off. More or less maintained this round which is better than gaining pounds I suppose. Went for a row this morning did about 6km, water was slack so it wasn't too debilitating.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02: 206.2. Went out for breakfast and didn’t over eat (yay), but ended up eating too much sugar today. But only went over my calorie goal by 50. So not horrible but must make better choices.
02/03: 206.2 Had a slice of high calorie pizza, but I did keep it to one slice. Just made sure to stay close to calorie goal.
02/04: 205.9 Planning all meals today ahead of time to keep me on track. Working from home today so this should be easier.
02/05: 205.3. Planning meals ahead again. Ended up with a UTI which has kind of derailed me today. Ugh! Go to doctor tomorrow.
02/06: 205.8 UTI has me feeling sick. Struggled to eat enough calories which is definitely not like me! Get medicine from doctor and hope to feel better soon.
02/07: 205.3 Really struggling with not feeling well. Keeping up my healthy eating.
02/08: 205.5 Feeling a little run down from being sick but I’m hanging in there.
02/09: 204.8. Feeling better. Planning meals ahead of time is helping.
02/10: 205.4 Had a sugary treat yesterday but I’m back to my healthy WOE today more determined then ever.
02/11: 204.8 Feeling good about my food choices. Keeping steady.
02/12: 204.8 Had an unexpected sugar craving yesterday. I’m low carb and hadn’t felt that way for weeks. Had 2 small pieces of chocolate and stopped. Quite happy with myself.10 -

Round 66 EW: 220.4 (-2)
Goals for R67: drink my water, close my circles, > 10K steps daily, journal my food
Day/Weight/Comment:
02/02 219.8 drank my water, closed my circles, > 13k steps. Off to a good start! In January, I didn’t really change my food, but I did drop alcohol for #dryjanuary and added in exercise. I wanted to try and incorporate small changes along the way that I could sustain. This month I will really start tracking food, and being aware of making better choices. 🤞🏻
02/03 219.6 drank my water, closed my circles, only 8K steps as I was in the car most of the day. About to go walk now, but is anyone else worried about overeating/drinking at the Superbowl parties? Thinking I need to plan for the number to go up some the next few days.

02/04 . 220.4 drank my water, closed my circles, 10K steps...but the Superbowl was so booooring that I ate my way right through it! Back on it today!
02/05 220.2 drank my water, closed my circles, 12.7K steps. Hoping to see a nice downward slide soon!
02/06 219.8 drank my water, closed my circles, 12.7K steps. Argh. Wished for more today!
02/07 219.4 **didn't get to update yesterday, but had weighed in.
02/08 219.0 a bit frustrated now that 7 days later all I've lot is .8lbs! But to be truthful with myself, my exercise has been great but I've had a couple big meals the last few days.
02/09 218.2 - Last night I was grumpy, didn't go to the gym, and drank 2 glasses of wine. Now this morning my scale has finally moved a bit and I'm so mad at myself!! LOL that wine is going to show up sometime! Back to the gym today! Happy Saturday!
02/10 217.6 closed my circles with 60 minutes on the treadmill, just about all my water. Today I'm starting my food journal. I keep doing it sporadically, but not with fidelity. I think I will write it in a journal instead of on MFP, because everytime I see all those numbers, I get hungry!! I've been listening to the podcast Phit-n-Phat - anyone else listen to Corrinne? I think she speaks my love language!
02/11 217.4 Rocked the treadmill yesterday with over 60 minutes, and started my food journal. Pretty happy overall with the results of this challenge.
02/12 217.0 Woo hoo! Finished challenge #2 for me! So happy with my results!11 -
