Day/Weight/Comment
2/12- 166.2. 60 mins 'fat burn' on treadmill. 21K+ on Fitbit. Calories and tracking in range. Constantly feeling fatigued - work is doing a number on me, looking forward to 4 day weekend.
2/13- 166.2 Did not exercise this morning. Pouring rain and more tomorrow, so no trail walking for me this weekend - treadmill is getting tedious Calories a little over but tracked it all.
Also ordered a Fitbit Versa last night, updating from my Charge 2. Hope it's a good buy!
2/14- 165.6 60 mins treadmill but 21K steps after a chaotic day at work. Valentine's day with kids is interesting - added to that, severe rain storms on and off all day. Exhausted!
2/15- 165.4 90 mins treadmill. Rain stopped, long weekend off - yay! New Fitbit Versa working great...love it so far.
2/16- 165.8 90 mins treadmill. Calories over today - not making good choices
2/17- Did not weigh. 90 mins treadmill
2/18- 165.4 90 mins treadmill
2/19- 164.8 Took a rest day. Did not sleep well....should have just got out of bed and on to the treadmill! A strange rain storm last night, freezing night and ice everywhere this morning....in San Diego! I slipped on the ramp outside our classroom, now have a nicely bruised hip and very painful wrist
Homemade pizza for dinner tonight, so weight will go up tomorrow I'm sure.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 - 180.6lbs - going down again cold finally improving, thankfully.
02/13 - 180.4lbs - slowly slowly. Feeling much better. In the annoying stage where I have an almost constant tickle at back of my throat making me cough loads lol
02/14 - 179.8lbs - Wahoo! The 170s. Let's hope it sticks.
02/15 - 180.2lbs - oh man! Slow going this round!
02/16 - 179.8lbs - back in the 170s. Let's hope it stays this time. Off to FIL and step MILs house today. She always puts on a delicious cooked breakfast spread. However, she is doing slimming world and she knows I'm dieting so shes said she'll do a slimming world friendly brunch. Not sure what that will involve but hopefully I'll have some calorie wise choices I can make.
02/17 - 180lbs - Greer. So frustrating. Wont stay in the 170s! Brunch yesterday wasn't healthy lol. It was all the usual stuff, she just hadn't fried any of it. Which helped, but didn't provide any healthy choices lol. So I just limited my portion to keep it under control. Also had a low calorie dinner to limit damage. Went over calorie goal still, but not by much and still in a calorie deficit overall. I expect the small jump has more to do with salt content. Swimming this morning with daughter. She is doing so well at the moment and being really brave about trying new things. Its lovely to see
02/18 - 179.8lbs - back here again. Lol. Oh well, nice one for official weekly weigh in day. DH caught my cold last week, and DD came down with it yesterday afternoon. So broken sleep last night, ended up spending an hour and a half sleeping on floor next to her. Here's hoping her day isnt too rough x
02/19 - 179.4lbs - Finally moved past the .8 mark! Wahoo! DD seemed to be ok yesterday, so long as she'd had calpol regularly. She did nap mid day, which she never does anymore, and she slept well last night. She seems fine this morning. Go figure!
02/20 - 178.4lbs!! - wow! Helloooo 178! Nice to see you again! Haven't seen this number since June last year! Let's hope it sticks!!

02/18 - 226.35lb - very happy this number is sticking around, and unlike my typical weight trend the fluctuations are only small at the moment
02/19 - 225.25lb - a new low and only 0.25lb until I’ve lost 3 stone since September 😬👏 hopefully can make this stick
02/20 - 225.25lb - it stuck 👏. I would really really like to lose that 0.25lb by tomorrow 😅 but either way I’m still pleased

I am 52, 5’2” and trying to get healthy for the last time and stay this way. I have high blood pressure, cholesterol, and very low vitamin D levels. I will log everyday here but have only one day I check in with weight and it is Friday.
SW: 225.8 (2/10/19)
CW: 222 (2/14/19 Valentines challenge)
Mini Goal: is to lose 10 lbs. in 5 weeks.
Overall Goal is to lose 105-115 lbs. (that is half my weight and will take time! I am OK with this because I will learn how to eat right, and do it the healthy way).

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12
02/13
02/14 – 222lbs - I am feeling good because I have a more positive attitude and being more active, like to be accountable, and this will also help with it

02/15 – 220lbs – Amazed at how much the scale changes, but feeling motivated.

02/16 – 222lbs – OK with this, I was concerned because my schedule was messed up yesterday, and ate later than usual. I am not sure if this played a part in it but I am OK with it.

02/17 – 221.4 – I was up early, like midnight and could not sleep. This tends to be the times struggle with eating more than I am supposed to eat. I did nap later before shopping so feeling somewhat better. My schedule somewhat messed up today. I will remain strong, even as hubby said we will order something for lunch from Dominos. I will not, because the saturated fat in everything and sugar content. I will have salad I put together myself.

02/18 – 221.0 – I get disappointed when I only see a loss of ounces, but then realize it is a loss, and any loss is a good one. Own the loss weather it a 0.1 or 1.0. Well today have the grandkids, so not sure what kind of day we going to have. The grandson is a handful with his behavior problems. My granddaughter will probably want to make some jewelry. I will try to get a walk in today with the grandkids. Have a great day all!

02/19 – 221.1 – I am not worried about the .1 gain; that is the joys of weighing every day. It all good and I won’t let this discourage me. Today I will get a walk in; my schedule was off with the grandkids off from school and the neighbors two I watch at night time. My struggle will know there are cookies the neighbor brought over. This was my downfall last night after completing meal plan. I ate 4 – good thing they were small.

02/20 – 220 – Feeling pretty good this morning, a little sore from walking home from my granddaughter’s basketball game – this was an accomplishment. I am trying to walk more to get some type of exercise in.

Good first day back on track. Had pizza in the eve, not the best choice, but I weighed it and it was well within cals.

Round 67 ~|~ End goal: <164
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-off situation when one decides to work on muscle toning. Looking forward to Round 68.

Round 68 ~|~ End goal: <164
12/02: 165.1: Gaols: ✅ Hmmmm... Still plateauing. Under calories but a relative rest day after Monday exertions.
13/02: 165.1: Goals: Do grocery shopping, gym session, 9000+ steps ✅. Didn't get to gym, but did some circuits at home. Fitting in the gym is problematic this week.
14/02: 164.6: Goals: Well, there it is again! Planning a Leslie Sansone HIIT workout before I head out this afternoon✅. Did w/o plus some flex/strength. Ate most of my exercise calories on Valentine's dinner 😂 so will definitely be holding water in the morning!
15/02: 164.9: Goals: 1 hour gym session ✅ plus some walking later on today. Got in several walks outside between meetings. I'm wondering if the gym session will lead to water retention again.
16/02: 165.2: Goals: Lots of walking playing ingress with my daughters ✅ Over 270 minutes walking, 21015 steps.
17/02: 164.9: Goals: Rest day after yesterday. ✅
18/02: 165.1: Goals: ✅ On track with goals. Silly NSV: I glanced down at my toes and noticed that there are now gaps between them. 😂 😂 😂
19/02: 164.9: Goals: Gym session, HIIT. No gym, but worked out at home
20/02: 164.8: Goals: Busy with meetings today. Will fit exercise in somewhere. ✅
21/02: 165.0: Goals: Is a whoosh too much to ask for?

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!

12/02 Went a little off my planned meals yesterday as went out for dinner with my lovely man, had some spicy Indian food to try and help unblock my ear, along with everything the doc has me on. Not sure exactly what impact this will have on my calorie deficit as had to guesstimate, I mostly had veggie stuff so it wouldn't have been too high and my watch also rebooted itself and wiped out an hour or twos data so my calorie adjustment is all to pot.
I did my 2nd cycle into work today, still don't trust the local traffic on the narrow streets, the streets here are still made for horses and carts going one way nevermind 2 way traffic, so walked some of it. I have pole class tonight so will have a fairly active day in all.

13/02 Finally got a drop on the scale woohoo, it's unusual for me to record the same weight day after day, my water weight normally has it up and down like a yo-yo. Aching like hell from last night's pole dance class, but have another one tomorrow so better recover sharpish. Got a reasonably quiet day activity-wise today and meals all planned for the day.

15/02 Not sure how I managed this but somehow skipped a day's info, so have corrected it now. Had a lot more food yesterday than normal so not unsurprised it's up, ate at maintenance-ish yesterday. Trendline in Libra is starting to take a downward turn again so happy enough. I have my catch up class of Pole Dancing this evening and a lot of walking expected 3km in to work/3km to pole dancing/ 3km to boyfriend's place later + the normal 3-5000 steps I normally get in over the course of the work day. My race training starts for rowing this weekend, so will probably struggle a bit with calories in the coming week, it's hard to find a balance between keeping a deficit and fueling my training to start with but I am sure it'll be easier this time around than the first time and the physical benefits of the training make a helluva a difference in my body composition, so there is also that to look forward to.

18/02 Took a maintenance day Friday and today as was experiencing some lovely PMT craving so weight is up a bit this morning. It's slightly disappointing to see the scale climb but I know it's just all the sodium and carbs I had over the weekend and the hormone bloatiness, I feel like Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters the last 2 days. I made some Mason Jar salads for the first time in ages as I've been mostly having soups for work lunches over the Winter, kind of looking forward to something different.

19/02 Slept sooo well last night which is rare, I was up early this morning for a 6.5km row, cycled in to work, will be cycling home too. Mason jar salad yesterday was really filling.

20/02 Ate all the food yesterday, oops. TOM heavier than usual and I feel a bit fatigued, possibly side effect of the anti-biotics, so gonna supplement some Iron next couple of days. I am away (again) this weekend, however it's a city break - Prague & Brno so will be lots of walking and I've lost interest in drinking so pretty confident that it shouldn't have too much impact weight wise.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 202.4 - working on eating healthy and exercise

02/13 201.8 - lots of walking and good food choices yesterday. Today is a snow day, I will need to keep away from comfort food and get on the treadmill

02/14 201.2 - high carb day yesterday, today I will add more water and add 5 more minutes of exercise

02/15 199.8 lots of water and physical activity yesterday- focused today on water, eating proper sized portions, exercise, and sleeping

02/16 199 had a great day yesterday - getting some long overdue cleaning and decluttering done, baked cookies and kept to my plan. Away for the night for work. (No scale for the morning, I will weigh in on Monday) today's goal increase water and exercise.

* (I amended my gw for this round, so very happy to have joined- I expect now that I am less bloated I will lose more slowly.)

02/17 no scales, away for work

02/18 199 glad to have stayed the same, eating out is challenging when choices are made by committee back to lots of water and healthy choices today

02/19 198.5 I had to increase my exercise to burn off the extra calories from holiday weekend treats. It seemed to work. 🔆

02/20 197.8 I had a good day, kept busy so snacking was not a problem until just before bed. Went to bed so I would not eat junk food. Looks like I need to make allowances for healthy snacks in the evening. Perhaps celery and peanut butter.👍

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 – 143.5 – I’m happy I’m still within maintenance range after my carb and sodium fest weekend!
02/13 – 143.5 – I had a tax client come in yesterday. I’ve been doing her work for 15+ years. She’s always been thin, but the past couple years, as she approaches 50, she’s gained a little weight. She was shocked at my weight loss and asked how I did it. I told her about MFP, CICO, and this challenge. She was blown away at the fact that we weigh ourselves every day and share our weight and stories with each other. Having been in this challenge so long I forget how intimidating something like this can be. Whether we’re up, down, or stuck in a plateau, it says a lot that we’re here.
02/14 – 142 – I realized yesterday morning that I had not been keeping up with my water, so I made a determined effort to drink plenty of it.
02/15 – 143.5 – More water today!
02/16 – 143.5 – Holding steady.
02/17 - 143.5 - I was over calories today, we'll see how it goes tomorrow.
02/18 – 143 – I’m surprised I wasn’t holding water weight this morning after my food choices yesterday. It may show up tomorrow or Wednesday, but I’m happy with this weight today.
02/19 – 142 – OK!
02/20 – 143 – I’m OK with this too.

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. Maxwell

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)

I think when I return I’ll be bringing a scale to keep there.

02/17 203.8. It’s going to be a tough one today. Taking a road trip with my daughter and there is always bad eating. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day and I need to get food for the rest of the week. I always do better during the week than on weekends.
02/18 203.4. No work today because of the holiday. I was able to stay on track with my food and got groceries for the rest of the week. I’m feeling good about the next three days for the challenge, even though I didn’t set a goal. ☺️💁‍♀️
02/19 201.4. Back to work today and slept horribly last night, will be an early night tonight.
02/20 198.2. Very busy at work yesterday which helped not think about food and all the snacks are gone at work too ☺️. I was very tired when I got home, had a protein drink for dinner and went to bed early sleeping pretty good for the night. Pleasantly surprised at my weigh-in.

02/15 - 258.2(-1.8). I’m not sure why yesterday was up. I work nights and finished a stretch with very little sleep so maybe getting in a good 8 hrs helped.
02/16 - 257.4 (-2.6). I made cauliflower crust pizza last night. It was very filling , I felt for sure I would gain but love it even more now.🥰
02/17 - 256.6(-3.4). Nsv . Yesterday we celebrated hubbys birthday. He wanted Chinese he got the usual Chinese buffet I got the steamed beef and broccoli no rice. I still wanted an egg roll and crab Rangoon but stayed strong. I did have a sliver of cake my daughter made but it worked out ok. So glad I maintained strong.
02/18 - 256(-4lbs). Goal made for this challenge.💪
02/19 - 255.6 (-4.4 lbs)
02/20 - 253.8 (-6.2 lbs). Big whoosh ! I’ll take it . I’ve been really trying to track everything even the little bites. On vacation from work this week , plan on getting lots of stuff done if weather cooperates.

02/14 200.4 getting there....
02/15 200.4.... yesterday was rough... valentine's day treats, and I forgot to go to the gym... let me repeat that... I forgot to go!! I did do a little Jillian Michaels at home though...so I guess that's good.

02/13 180.8 Hmm I adjusted my calories slightly to see if that helps. How long do you normally give it before making adjustments? In the 20 days I’ve been back to using mfp I’ve lost 1.2 pounds.
💗02/14💗 179.4 Woo hoo! Back to round 67 start weight! We're on a budget this Valentine's Day, so we're celebrating at home. I'm making a steak dinner tonight. 🙂 Have a great day everyone!
02/15 179.4 Stayed within calories yesterday and macros were a bit off to enjoy valentine goodies, but overall it was a good day!
02/16 178.8 Was off yesterday and I'm back work for the weekend. Have a great day everyone!
02/17 179.2 Up and down.
02/18 178 I'm off of work the next couple of days and I'm feeling motivated to get some exercise! I haven't really done any in a couple of months. I went for a walk yesterday and it felt pretty good!
02/19 177.4 I'm a bit surprised since I had Chipotle for lunch yesterday! I was within calories, but sodium was way over. I'll take it!

02/20177.8 Was within calories and did a Fitness Blender workout. Pretty good day!

02/15 178.6 This is nice! I was expecting an uptick after valentines dinner of sushi and a piece of cinnamon coffee cake -
02/16 DNW - overslept - but I did start my day with a workout.
02/17 179 - ate poorly on Friday, did ok yesterday just a little over cals and no junk - also got some food prep done. I like to cook but I don't really like the planning and advance prep - but it is much easier to stay on plan if I do it - I really need to exercise more discipline on this.
02/18 -177 ate on plan yesterday and took a 5k walk in the cold, but this much of a drop is probably due to late weigh in.
02/19 - 179 a combination of sloth, LNS and weighing in 3 hours earlier!

Took a break due to mental health…. Now back up past my starting weight! I have also developed high blood pressure so for the sake of my own health I need to do this.... plus I don't want my kids growing up without me there!

Currently doing a “100 miles in February” challenge for charity too, so I'm running 4km every morning and 10km on Saturday and Sunday!

2/12- 100.4 so embarrassed about how much weight I put on… doctors was a real wake up call, showed me the excess is doing more that just stretching my clothes!
2/13- 99.9 didn't eat very well yesterday and took a rest from running too!
2/14- 99.7 doing well but I know it's just the Tom water weight coming off!
2/15- 99.0 Well this is a nice drop! Had a lovely run this morning, getting faster every day! Slightly concerned about the weekend as I'm bringing my son to a fortnite thing and I've promised him five guys for lunch afterwards… I'll have to be on my best behaviour...
2/16- 99.2 knew there’d be a bounce back but still happy! Think today is a day off running as I'm out with my son but I'll see if I can squeeze an hour in later!
2/17- 99.5 That's the pizza and chips from last night! But I've a long run planned today so I'm not overly concerned!
2/18- 99.2 think I'm carrying a little water after my run yesterday. Ended up having a lovely 13.5km outing along the harbour. Beautiful sunshine and boats bobbing in the bay! Stunning! But I'm a bit sore this morning, going out for 4km recovery run later so that should help the muscles recover!
2/19- 98.4 The dietbet and the 100 mile challenge has actually got me ridiculously focused! I am dragging my *kitten* out of bed at 5.50 to go out for a run! Just for the possibility of winning my $35 back and because I want my shiny medal for my 100 miles!
2/20- dnw my youngest turns 3 today but just like his 1st and 2nd birthdays he is unwell! Poor thing was up half the night with croup! This meant I was up until 2 and then up at 6 as his brother was up and wanted to do cake and presents! So with all that going on I just didn't have a chance to step on the scales! Off out for a run when husband gets home from work, food going well, haven't even eaten any of the birthday cake! So I'm hoping yesterday's number sticks!

17/2 78.5 Again going down but out of Keto due to carbs
18/2 78.7 Oops up a tad, not exercising at moment due to health issues:(
19/2 79.1 Aaargh, must get back on track, but can't exercise
20/2 78.2 Well that's a suprise! Even checked it 3 times and tried different scales just in case Woohoo. Must have had some fluid retention that finally gave way!! Whooosh
