A NOTE B4 STARTING
This will be my 9th Round. So I’ve been stuck between 215 & 218 since January 19th (with a body less and less responsive to anything familiar) and FREAKING OUT thinking things I’m trying aren’t working. But I got peace this morning after measuring. Turns out though I’ve basically been stuck @ the same 3 pounds for 3 rounds, I’ve also lost 4.5 inches during that time. STFD!! Girrrl, breathe.

I only shared this to say ~ Numbers are your friends FitFam! We shouldn’t let the ups and downs get to us, or be afraid of the scale and measuring tape. It’s only data revealing patterns and solutions specific to YOU. Today was a plus positive, but other times may reveal a plus negative. We have to become relentless! Analyzing and identifying trends in our own behavior is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves because it opens the door to solutions.

Hope this helps some else who might be stressing out over the numbers. Good luck friends!!

It helps so much! That's one area I've slacked in, mostly because I'm not too sure where to measure. But I'm going to do it!

That's great @MyEvolvingJourney I'm so glad A simple baseline check is neck, breast or shoulders, waist, hips and thighs.

I started once a month, but now do a full body measure once a week of neck, arms, breasts, hips, thighs, calves and Upper, Middle and Lower Abs -- which is the belly button, 2 inches above (waist area) and 2 inches below. Writing this thinking about the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, I've decided to add my wrists and ankles too, lol

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.

I'm back again. I don't know how some of you do it. I just plain forget to check in. Next thing I know several days have passed and I haven't logged in and I forget to weigh. I'm not giving up though. I'm trying this again. I put my scale right in front of the shower door. That should help me remember.

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.

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!

Round 67
Missed out round 67 as dealing with Mother in law with Alzheimers who unfortunately had a fall. Family came to stay to help me with her and I was cooking and drinking red wine and NO exercise etc, so totally blew it this week, weight up to 81.6 kgs ☹

Round 68
Female ,Age 52, 5ft 3 inch short!
SW: 86.6kgs UGW: 70kgs
Determined to get back on track. Last couple of days I have been intermittent fasting to get back into Keto, have finally succeeded and lost most of the earlier weight gain 😊 so:

12/2 79.9 kgs and am determined NEVER to get back over 80Kgs. Leave Portugal tomorrow to head back to England so will be driving 7 hours then on an overnight ferry for 30 hours then another 3 hour drive. This will be a tester as 2 days of boredom and not able to check weight etc!!

Two things this round - Valentines on Thursday (so will be an M&S Dine in for Two dinner with hubby - 3 courses with wine) and then the weekend is cheer comp - two VERY long days of cheerleading at the Olympic Park which usually results in less than ideal food choices and usually a take out on the way home (McD's or KFC usually as that's all that's open at 11pm at night Will try to build in to my calories and macros and make sensible choices......

Good luck everyone

End R67 - 148.00lb
