Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 180.4 Um. What? I’m totally baffled. Yesterday my weight went from 177 to 179 which I figured has got to be water weight. It’s higher today. I was within calories and had lots of water and thankfully had a much better night of sleep. Aggravating.
02/23 179.8 We went out to dinner last night to celebrate my hubby getting a new job. Was only slightly over calories, but weight is down a smidge so I’ll take it! I’m still trying to figure out my calories so I can consistently lose. So far this month, I’ve managed to maintain. I know I can get this figured out, and you guys are so supportive, thank you!
02/24 178 Coming back down. I was within calories and macros and I got my minimum 10,000 steps yesterday. 🙂
02/25 178.8 I felt like yesterday was a pretty good day. I was within calories, I got in 30 active minutes and 10,000 steps. Sodium was a bit high though. We did church, then had a relaxing day at home after.
02/26 I78.6 I’m just keeping up with what I’ve been doing! Within calories, no exercise though. I’ve been pre logging my meals and I feel like it helps keep me on track!

02/27 - 159.6 I'm making progress. TOM will start today or tomorrow and hopefully the little bit of water weight/bloating will go down (not that I feel like I've gained any water weight and I don't feel particularly bloated, the body is surprising). Either way, it'll be a relief to get it started and over with. I under ate quite horribly yesterday. Spent a good chunk of time making dinner only to end up barely eating it (felt so full after a few bites) so I need to fix that. I was sitting about 1100 calories so not terribly off but I had to force food down my throat to hit that (not sick, just no desire to eat, would rather have fattening food). Water was on track

02/22 176.4 Woosh! great way to start the round. Have some DOMS today from yesterdays work out so I will try to get some walking in today, despite the grey rainy weather. The days are getting longer if not yet brighter.
02/23 176.8
02/24 176.0
02/25 177.4 The wind storm we are having is making me anxious and keeping me indoors. Anxiety eating yesterday but able to keep it at maintenance cals.
02/26 179 Felt like cr@p, ate like cr@p. Ate like cr@p, felt like cr@p. Did not log after noon, but definitely way over on carbs and cals. I am taking today off work - hopefully some extra rest will help me get back on track. Really need to learn my lesson - comfort carbs backfire in so many ways.
02/27 178.6 back from the brink!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22: 311.00 (-4.5) - New low, always nice! Bit surprised actually, triple checked. Due to this bad cold I'm still only making sure I come in under maintainance. Came in with a decent defecit yesterday though, so we'll see. Basically working on this week being steady. I always struggle when ill to not overeat, maintainance seems a good compromise. I updated my goals again recently, so my calorie goal changes, dropped by 50 a day. I think updating regularly so it's only small drops will be best so I'm not feeling like it's getting more restrictive in larger amounts.
02/23: 309.75 (-1.25) - Guess I'm not past wooshing after all! Still got a cold, but feeling better. I assume this is loss from the weekend catching up.
02/24: 312.75 (+3.00) - Ate nearly to maintainance yesterday, as I went very ill again, and I forgot to weigh until after breakfast. Hopefully be back to a defecit soon.
02/25: 311.75 (-1.00) - An earlier weigh was heavier I think, but I was half asleep and can't remember the number.
So with feeling ill I've just been trying to stay under maintainance calories. Yesterday I ate biscuits and cake and such, again. And I felt awful from it, both from overeating in general and what it was. I'm very much back on the bandwagon today just from how I felt, because that's likely not helping my fatigue. And what's horrifying is 2 months ago, that'd have been a pretty good day. Week, in fact. I ate a pack of biscuits over the week, I'd have eaten them in a day before. And another the next day. It's scary what I've been doing to my body, and how bad it made me feel day to day has just hit me like a truck. How much of my fatigue is currently (and has been before) because I'm not eating well? I love my body more than this.
02/26: 310.5 (-0.75) - in my British stones, 308lbs is 22st, not far off! That's a big milestone, I literally can't remember when I was last under that. Came in fairly low calorie yesterday, keeping my eating light for a bit.
02/27: 311.5 (+1.00) - I forgot to weigh this morning so this is post- lunch. Figured I may as well log it though. That's fine. Had a day about to my goal yesterday, so I'm doing fine. I'm finding these 10 day challenges keep me going, they feel like a great source of support and camaraderie - we all have different goals, some to lose, some to maintain, I think some to gain muscle? But we're all here every day. It's a nice feeling.

02/23 149.8 ~ (Steps 13,942) I realize the challenge don’t actually start till tomorrow but I need to get a grip on things here. My husband and I decided to take a drive to visit the biggest book store in the States here. We only live a couple hours away so it was a nice drive plus we stopped for lunch. Unfortunately my weight has gone up these last few days. On the bright side there’s only one way to go noe, lol. I do have fantastic news within the next week, my husband will be starting his new job, yessssssssss. This means I can get a routine back, yesss yesss yesss.

02/22 148.8 ~ (Steps 19,696) ~ Yesterday was a successful day in NLS, this will be my number one focus on achieving for my weight to drop. Today I’m hoping to get a pool session in,

02/23 148.1 ~ (Steps 12,978) ~ I was about to get a pool session in plus a wonderful workout at the gym, hopefully today will be a repeat. Of course, now not getting enough sleep isn’t helping. Within the next few days that should be getting back to normal too, 👍🏼

02/24 148 ~ (Steps 12,366) ~ Not the healthiest food choices yesterday, unfortunately. On the bright side I was able to get a good nights sleep in,

02/25 147.1 ~ (Steps 18,136) ~ Even though during the day it was hectic, I didn’t turn to food yay! I ended up taking a wonderful relaxing walking after dinner, which helped with late night snacking. My husband came home with Girl Scout cookies. They went in the freezer, out of sight out of mind, lol.

02/26 146.7 ~ (Steps 11,005) ~ I need to continue with this trend, focus focus focus

Round 68 SW 185.2 EW 188.9 (+3.7) vacation
Round 69 SW 187.8 EW TBD


Goals this round:
Get below 184.0
plan my meals the night before
keep carbs at 1 serving per day
make sure to drink water before each meal
follow my gym plan: lift 3x and cardio 2x this 10 day cycle

02/22 188.0 well this is not too exciting. I am sure it is salt and water bc there is no way I ate 14,000 extra calories while in London for 3 days. We averaged 7.5 miles per day walking while we were there, too! Drinking extra water today.

02/23 187.8 Still hanging on. Mentally I'm having a hard time getting back into watching my food intake. On the last travel day of my trip I found myself wanting to eat all of the things I normally avoid (potato chips, ice cream, pizza) sort of like I "deserved" it bc I was on vacation? Self sabotaging is what it feels like now. I don't really know how to stop those sort of feelings. Then when I got home, I wanted to continue to eat comfort foods, because I was tired and jet lagged. Healthy choices seemed unappealing and gross. Now today I have my trainer appointment and I feel embarrassed to get on the scale at the gym

02/24 186.4 some water weight finally leaving! My trainer was nice and said I didn't have to get on the scale and we could wait til next week. Also had a really strong workout, went up on a bunch of my lifts, probably due to lots of calories in the bank. Hopefully tomorrow will continue the trend. Drinking water, working on getting all my steps today.

02/25 187.6 Kinda surprised to see this number on the scale. Made my workout tonight, I did go over my calories but not by much. Cardio 45 minutes.

02/26 186.6 down again. Surprised more of this weight hasn't dropped off by now but I'm sticking to the plan. Maybe I still have a chance to make my goal for this round. Got my workout in today and logging all my food.


02/27 187.0 Wednesday humpday nothing else to say except I'm still waiting for the scale to do something! Barre class tonight!

I did a little better yesterday, but still snacked a bit. Step by step, pound by pound, back to where I was before November - no sugar or salt cravings.

02/23 - 143.4
I have to bake cornbread this afternoon for a chili & cornbread cook off/fundraiser tonight, so salad for lunch -- and I'm hitting the gym this morning. We'll see if I continue to downward trend despite - ymmmm - cornbreads to sample! Have a lovely weekend, all.

02/24 - 145
Ooops. Too many chili samples, bowls, & cornbreads, and salt. Good, though! This gain is temporary. On to the new week, starting today. Have a good Sunday, and week to come!

02/25 - 145
I mostly behaved myself yesterday, other than some cookies at UU. But we had high winds and once home I didn't want to go back out to the Y, so not much exercise beyond a little cleaning/organizing. I plan to get there today for weights & walking and/or biking. And I'm determined to stick to my calorie goal this week. I hope.

@TerriRichardson112 Lovely photo! Where are you? I'm guessing Ireland since Scotland is a smudge? I'm dying to get back to both sometime soon - my ma was Scottish, and I've loved Ireland since my first visit.

02/26 - 145
OK, I guess I'll sit here for a few days. That's fine, I know I'm eating better and it will fall away eventually. Off to the Y in a few minutes - I feel so virtuous when I stick to my exercise plan.

02/27 - 146
Whaaa??? OK, whatever. I'm doing everything right; results will follow. Off to the Y and then the grocery for veggies - making minestrone for tomorrow. Mmmmm.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202
Next Goal - 170 I will get there, hopefully soon

Round 68 - SW - 178.8 EW - 177.4 Average weight over 10 days - 178.2

Feb 22 - 178.4 - these fluctuations are insane. I need some lighter meals for a few days.
Feb 23 - 178.6 - my scale is really acting up, this is the number that repeated the most
Feb 24 - 180.1 - too much junk yesterday
Feb 25 - 180.4 - yesterday was good, but still seeing effects of Saturday
Feb 26 - 180.6 - ugh
Feb 27 - 180.4 - great day yesterday, lots of movement and no overeating or junk.

02/25 - 244.8 did great today!! Over 25,000 steps, a good solid arm workout, and under calories.

02/26 - 244.6 - today was really stressful, one of my foster dogs bit a kid (said kid is fine, but still). I did not get to the gym, and stopped tracking calories after lunch 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I did pull out my exercise trampoline to get the last 2500 steps, so at least I hit my daily goal there.

02/27- 357.4 There's all of the the last week's work showing up finally. I'm up on steps, up on generally activity, and keeping nicely in my calories. My NSV yesterday is all my wonderful husband's doing. I felt horrible yesterday, my back was hurting and my cramps from tom were insane, add in that I hadn't slept well in a couple of days. Dinner time came and there was an issue that I wasn't up for dealing with. I just wanted fast food at that point. Instead the husband went out and got rotisserie chicken and a well within calorie side. I didn't have to deal with doing anything other than weighing out the food. I feel a ton better today and so very blessed to have such a supportive spouse.

02/23. 191.4 was well below calories due to gastric issues. Should have a normal tracking day today.
