Wt R68: 317.2
Day/Weight/Commment
2/22 - 315.8 - This was nice to see. And I have been sticking to my weighing plan. I’m still a little stressed from the other night; it kinda triggered my PTSD. BUT I am calmer this afternoon. Food has still been good; it’s just been more of a struggle.
2/23 - NW - Yesterday, I was on par with eating, maybe a little light due to being out of the apartment during key eating times. Today, similar thing and I am out of olives, BUT I have a plan. I did a heartbreaking episode of Zombies, Run! yesterday and will do another one today. Since the sun has come out I am going to do it outside instead of pacing in my apartment or walking circles around the community room. As the weather turns to more warm days I will start doing Z5K training, AGAIN, but this time I should be able to finish it. I have hope for more activity in the future.
2/24 - 312.2 - I walked outside yesterday! It's more challenging outside with the ups and downs of the landscape vs the flat ground of the community room or my apartment, and I loved every moment of it. If it's not too cold I'm going to repeat it today, just a supply run not a full episode of Zombies, Run! Food is fairly on point according to the sheet the dietitian gave me. I'm settling down emotionally from the trigger earlier in the week.
2/25 - NW - The temperature dropped, so even though it was sunny I couldn't go outside to walk. I did a supply run on Zombies, Run! for 47 minutes (new record walking), and then later I did an episode of Zombies, Run!. The episode was good and tugged at my heart a little. I also finally learned about project Greenshoot, why runner 5 originally came to Able Township back in season 1. So, it was a good episode. My food supplies are running low, critically low and I have no resources; so, tomorrow my CSS is taking me to Crosslines to pick up some food. I'm not crazy about going to food pantries as it's not a lot healthy stuff, but won't matter if I end up starving either. In the meantime I'm managing to eat healthy based off of what I have on hand.
2/26 - 308.4 - I walked outside again yesterday. I threw on my light covering and went despite the wind. The sun was (and is) shining! The community room was taken by people playing Bingo, and I did not feel like pacing in my apartment when it was so beautiful outside. I stayed to the sheet my dietitian gave me, and it's made a huge difference. I feel better as I am getting my nutrients in, particularly protein.
2/27 - NW - Today was my last day at pulmonary rehabilitation, and I improved by 20% in just six weeks (12 sessions). It was a good workout, lasted about an hour, and I plan on taking advantage of my insurance program to get a membership at the Y. The weather has turned for the worse; so, no more walking outside for awhile. We are getting ice tonight. I did walk outside doing an episode of Zombies, Run!
2/28 - 310.0 - Bit flux up, not sure why, but, eh, not worried about it either; I mean I'm still down 7 pounds in seven days. I plan on doing two episodes of Zombies, Run! today. I'm curious how we come out of being surrounded by 500 zombies being controlled by a madman. I'm not going outside, I can see the ice on the trees which mean slick sidewalks. I have to go out tomorrow as I have an appointment and need to get money orders for rent and cable/Internet. Nutrition is doing good.
3/01 - NW - Holy busy day. I woke up at 7 and took the med that has to be taken an hour BEFORE I can eat. An hour later my ride showed up. I went to my appointment, resisted the temptation to have Subway while I waited for my ride to pick me up after the appointment. I didn't get home until time for lunch! A few hours later I trekked out on the bus to renew my bus pass, get my money orders for rent and cable/Internet, get some yogurt, and then went home. Got home and schedule changed again, but it meant I could get in an episode of Zombies, Run! It wouldn't download the recent episode so I just went back to the beginning. I think I am going to rework through the old episodes for fun! Now, at last the day is done, food is done (well, still going to have a couple of Halos and water). Time to just relax!
3/02 - NW - I went to the store today and picked up a couple of items to help get me through until Tuesday. I've done two episodes of Zombies, Run! today, and I'm considering doing another before bed. Food has been on point, and I even had a treat of a Hershey bar today. I didn't hit all of my active hours, because once again Fitbit didn't notify me one particular hour that I was short of steps. It's been doing that all week at random hours, and I don't always watch the clock. It also did not pick up the flight of stairs I climbed. Oh, well. Well, tomorrow is the end of the round and weigh in.

R69-SW163.8 EWTBD
GW: 162.4
UGW: 135lbs
Mini TW for March 22 - Under 160!
Mini TW for May 1st - 154.4 (10 lbs)
Exercise Goal: to spend 30+ minutes exercising 5 days a week!
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 - 163.6 (Ready, set, go!)
02/23 - 162.4 (slept a Lot, drank over 100oz water, enjoyed an inspiring message at church, walked outside with friends for an hour, and ate well though maybe a bit later than usual and some extra starch. Great day! Will probably see that starch effect tomorrow though, lol.)
02/24 - 163.2 (Yup! Looking forward to moving more outside today! Hopefully those allergies don't go crazy *crosses fingers*)
02/25 - 165.0 (Hehe. I weighed myself WAY into the afternoon because the a.m. was such a rush! That plus salty things yesterday and today makes the daily 100 oz of water I drink to hang on for dear life... ! lol! Hm... need to move more tomorrow, and preferably while multitasking because there is much to do! I hope everyone is having a good week so far! Hang in there!)
02/26 - 163.6 (Eating well today, drinking plenty of water, and trying to move around as much as possible. This is probably my Achilles' heel at the moment! We're half way there guys!)
02/27 - ?
02/28 - 164.2
03/01 -165
03/02 - 163 (Now this is funny- I realized I'd been so busy the last few days I was dehydrated... as soon as I drank my usual 100 oz of water, it came right off. So don't forget to drink your water! It will keep you regular, and prevent false highs! **Also, this is why it's more valuable for me to take my weight average over 10 days- it's simply not as emotional LOL** Tomorrow I'll be food prepping for the week... Looking forward to trying that once again, and to have my family on board at least for this week!)

ROUND 69 (Round 14 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 54-68 = 41.6 lb. lost
Latest NSV: Yesterday morning, I was standing in front of the mirror, applying make-up, and noticed my thighs don’t touch! Yay!
Thanks to all of you for helping me on this journey!

02/24 137.0
02/25 137.0
02/26 135.4 I’m starting late, but this is my first day to have time at home this round. I’m tired in the evenings, and do well to complete my Bible studies. This morning, I’m sure my weight was lower because I didn’t have to get up before daybreak! I won’t be able to go back and read posts starting from the beginning, but I’ll read today’s posts and see how everyone is progressing. It’s dreary out, but I don’t think it will rain, so Thor and I will head out for a walk after I check your posts.
02/27 135.4 The experiment I started a couple of weeks ago to stop logging calories and use what I’ve learned about eating keto-friendly foods seems to be working. I’ve continued to lose weight and close in on my goal. Thor and I got in a 3 mile walk yesterday. Spring is here—we saw our first bluebonnets of the season! Today, I hand-washed my car for the first time in several years. The automatic car wash doesn’t clean the back of my CRV, so I had to wash it myself. That was my exercise for the day.
02/28 135.8 I was afraid I would see a little bump today after more than usual snacking yesterday. It probably won’t improve tomorrow. I had extra wine tonight to warm myself. For Texas, the weather is cold! I played cards most of the day with friends and didn’t exercise. I split a grilled fish lunch with a friend and ate leftover ribs and asparagus with my husband this evening. My goal is to stay between 135 and 140, so I’m actually doing okay, but I would still like to see an even 135 at least once before I begin maintenance.
03/01 138 It was a busy day, and this was my weight at my afternoon doctor appointment. The bad news is that I was measured at ½” shorter than my last height measurement. It was a full day/evening, and I didn’t get online.
03/02 135.00 This is it--my goal weight!Will I have it again tomorrow? Probably not—I went to a movie with my husband and that means I ate popcorn. I didn’t eat a lot, but it could make a difference. I may skip weighing tomorrow. I leave early in the morning for three concert performances, and I won’t return until late tomorrow night.

Ready for my round 6
OSW 88KG
RSW 80.1kg (-7.9kg) or {17.4lbs}
Goal... Less than I started!
02/22 80.1kg run was difficult this morning but I managed 4km. All going well. 1st target is only 100g away!
02/23 80.1kg still here still going strong. I'll get there!
02/24 80.0kg 1st mini target met 💃🏽I'm down to my pre vacation weight of July last year. Next mini target soon of losing 10% of my body weight. Today is relaxing with my sewing machine day - I'm not sewing clothes until I'm closer to goal so it's a wallet today and maybe some paper piecing.
02/25 80.1kg morning 3km done with both moon and sunrise. Felt good to be back to early runs even if it means back to work. Was very close to calorie limit this wknd so some light meals due this week.
02/26 79.9kg scale said 3 different readings today! I went with the highest for now. A new kg decade!
02/27 80.0 kg. Fastest 2km run! And did pushups etc last night but can still only do 11. Managed 44 squats though.
02/28 80.0kg as an average - scale doing crazy things. Lots showed down but I'm doing it all right so no worries.
03/01 80.0 kg. Did a good 4.5km run this morning. It'll be off soon.
03/02 79.9kg which is slow but I'm still down so far.
03/03 79.3kg which is prefect timing as its official weigh in day! Only 0.1kg away from my 1st 10%

Currently doing a “100 miles in February” challenge for charity too, so I'm running at 6am every morning and doing long runs on Saturday and Sunday! Thinking I'll try and keep up the new habit as the weight is melting off and I'm in a much better headspace when I've run!
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 - 98.3 up a bit from yesterday, just a minor fluctuation I think though! Plus I had a glass of wine last night!
02/23 dnw weekends throw out my routine something awful!
02/24 dnw Not sure if i forgot or if I was scared! Went to Chinese by for lunch yesterday but I tried to limit the bad choices and went for veggie loaded dishes but they will still be salt loaded veggies so think I'll be acting like a camel for a day or 2! I have a long run planned for later! So that should help it out!
02/25 98.3 oook! Not half as bad as I'd imagined! I did just over 20km yesterday…. Felt a bit stiff this morning so went for a 5km recovery jog, just to make sure I don't stiffen up too much!
02/26 96.9 This is not real! Had a slightly upset stomach so I'm sure it will bounce back up a bit as I rehydrate but still nice to see! I'm expecting a decent drop but not this much! We'll see what happens over the next few days!
02/27 97.4 knew there would be a bounce! Still happy with the number, right on target to hit my goal!
02/28 97.8 I was very off track yesterday! I won my diet bet, so turned my $35 into $57! So that's been reinvested in 2 new dietbets! So yesterday morning I was good until weigh in, once I won my bet I ate a little bit more that I should have and then once I signed up again I stopped! :-D
I'm really not worried about this bounce though, feels like more of a water bounce!
In other news I completed my 100 mile challenge today! And I'm now in an “I can rule the world” mood!
03/0198.5 eh... bit of a jump! I'm guessing this is the start of shark week preparation?! Bloody nature! I'll try to drink more water anyway though, have been awful with that the last week!
03/02 dnw Weekend so usual out of routine
03/03 98.6 salty snacks watching TV last night! Feel really awful and bloated! But heading off to spin class later and back to running tomorrow morning so it'll improve. Been a bit of a fail for this round but I think there's a variety of factors at play. But whatever about shark week I'll just keep my head up, keep eating clean and get back to running every morning and all will work out!

02/22 380.2
02/23 377.8 (-2.4)
02/24 378.8 (+1.0)
02/25 379.6 (+0.8) – Not going good at all today so I may have another gain tomorrow. But after today back on track for sure. Goal today to get in my 7000 steps.
02/26 380.6 (+1.0) – Today is going pretty good so far. Hope I lose something tomorrow. I ordered me a new scale today. It should be here by March 7th. Cost a little over $50. Tired of getting on this one a 100 times. You get what you pay for. I am hoping it is better. If it is not I will be sending it back.
02/27 377.2 (-3.4) - Yesterday I got in my 7000 steps. I was not perfect but still ate pretty good. I can't wait to get new scale because this one is really getting on my nerves with the different weights each time I step on it. I am so spoiled because when I weighed over 450 I was spoiled I had an excellent scale that cost a lot. Now I don't want to pay for it so I am hoping the $50 scale from Walmart will suffice. I think I only paid $20 something for the current one. I am used to getting the same reading. After 10 years my other scale was goneBut it was worth every cent. Hopefully I will not have to get it again
02/28 377.4 (+0.2) – I got in my 7000 steps yesterday. It was an ok day. Went over my blue dots. But ate ok overall. Not too stressed out with month end at work. Today is going ok too. I should lose something tomorrow for sure. Need to stay focused over the weekend. These 10 days are flying by!
03/01 380.2 (+2.8)
03/02 380.4 (+0.4) - My new scale arrived yesterday. Still have not opened but I will have it ready for Round 70. I will have an appointment with my PCP on Tuesday the 5th. Looking forward to next round

Round 65 - SW 370.8 EW 375.4 (+4.6)
Round 66 - SW 376 EW 373.6 (-2.4)
Round 67 – Did not participate (2/11/19 375.4)
Round 68 - SW 375.2 EW 377 (+1.8)
Net change 2019 = (+3.6)- 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.

02/22 - 178.4lbs - slightly up. No biggie. Am expecting the same for tomorrow and sundays weigh ins as out drinking tomorrow night for a friends 30th and MIL is doing fish and chips on Saturday. So tasty, but sooo many calories! Lol
02/23 - 180.4lbs - this is the result of having a McDonalds at lunch time (a treat from work), alcohol in the evening and indulging in the treats at the party (chocolate fountain anyone?! Lol). Oh well, I enjoyed myself, don't feel guilty and know it will come off again
02/24 - 180lbs - so begins the drops again.back to normal routine today, so should see another drop tomorrow too
02/25 - 179.4lbs - still dropping, slowly. Bit frustrated as its official weigh in day and its artificially high as (tmi) no bm yesterday. Oh well.
02/26 - 178lbs - there it is! Have a great day all.
02/27 - 177.8lbs - back to where I was at the start of the round at last. 4 days to get a loss for this round!
02/28 - 178.2lbs - only slightly over calories, but loads of sodium. Oh well.
03/01 - 177.4lbs - going down again. Only just realised what I did yesterday with my post, accidentally! Sorry about that!!!
03/02 - 176.6lbs - nice!
03/03 - 177lbs - little jump up. Had a McDonalds yesterday. Within maintenance calories, but sodium always catches me out!
Result of round 69: -0.8 lbs still a loss

2/22 - 96.8 finally broke through the 97.0 barier hope to keep under it this week
2/23 - 96.5 too fast drop expect gain
2/24 - 96.8 the gain has come. Will try zumba today
2/25 - 96.7 clear water retention all body is sore from yesterday. Also very hungry went beyond calories
2/26 - 97.2 as expected high sugar intake from yesterday and zumba water retention didn't help. I think i am getting sick
2/27 - no scale, didn't manage to crowl out of bed today. Hope to be back on track in a couple of days. Eating for energy.
2/28- 95.3 body fighting the sicknes. Some plusses to being sick 😂. Hate it when the scale drops like this. Will not see this number for long and will be discouraged.
3/1- 95.2 that's not logical to keep this lower weight. Will try to squeeze in a workout on sun/mon since too sick to do anything active this weekend. These low numbers will keep me off guard.
3/2-95.4 afraid to open my mouth but the drop is sticking 🎉. Even after nephew's birthday celebrations yesterday (though I managed to eat under calories I think) Feeling better will try hicking today a bit after all.
3/3-95.1 excellent round ending. Don't expect the next one to be as good but we will see. See you there!

02/25 - 224.7lb
02/26 - 224lb - a new low 👍🏻
02/27 - 223.25lb - another new low 👏 hopefully with 4 days left I can get the last 0.25lb off to meet my goal and make that number stick.
02/28 223.5lb
03/01 -222.6lb - new low 👍🏻 hopefully can make this stick for the end of the round
03/02 - 222lb - sticky numbers lately which is good, following my body trends I know I will plateau soon so enjoying it whilst it keeps going down
03/03 - 223.25lb - jinxed it 😅 no reason for this being up other than hormones/water retention so I’m still really happy with how this round has gone. Brings me to a loss of 2lb 👍🏻12 -
2nd round for me!
Round 68 SW: 225.8 – EW: 219.8 (↓6)
Round 69
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 – 219.2 – I am feeling great, I have been trying to get some walking in. I started walking to the elementary school to get my granddaughter (this is over 2 miles). I also made a quick walk to the bus stop for grandson turn into over a mile also.
02/23 – 219.6 – Not concerned, I got a walk in yesterday and knew yesterday for dinner would not be super. I ate something with additional sugar, which I generally do not. I was within my goals. It the weekend and today will eat pizza due to being at granddaughters birthday party at the bowling alley.
02/24 – 217.4 – I am amazed at this because I ate so much yesterday, well over all my calories, sodium, fat, etc. Everything was in the red. Although, my granddaughter said this birthday was the best party ever. A room full of my ex and ex in-laws and everyone got along. Today will be staying on track.
02/25 – 219.4 Not sure what happen here, except more carbs than usual even though within the amounts or just from the weekend party yet. Either way I am not letting this get me down tomorrow will be better.
02/26 – 216.4 - Granddaughters actual Birthday, I haven’t been walking with the high winds and too cold for me. Tonight will be ice cream cake (Oreo blizzard). I will eat small and try to allow for this in my calories. I slept in today which unusual but felt good!
02/27 – 217 – not bad considering I went over a little. I tried putting in before time and then couldn’t without knowing correct size, etc. Now back on track for the rest of the week. My granddaughter asked if I can pick her up for today, so will walk to the school.
02/28 – 216.4 – I was excited when first stepped on the scale it showed 211.6! However I waited and did again it was 216.4, then stepped on it several more times and it came up 216.4. It a lost but still disappointing because was hoping it was the first weight. I also had conversation with my granddaughter after I picked her up from school.
Granddaughter – You are losing weight.
Me – Really you think so.
Granddaughter – Yes
Me – I am but how can you tell?
Granddaughter – Because your stomach is smaller than when I first start coming here long time ago.
Me – Oh that was a long time (about 4-5 years ago), well thank you, lol.
03/01 – 215 - feeling pretty good this morning, slept in actually just got up at 7am. Hubby wants to eat out today, so a little nervous. Although he is trying to make healthier decisions also.
03/02 – 216.4 – I am not surprised it is up, just disappointing. I couldn't find the right pizza for calories and my gut feeling told me the one I added was wrong but went with it. It is all good because will lose this for tomorrows weigh-in, so I am OK.
3/3/19 – 215.8 I’m feeling down this morning after getting up. I was disappointed by the weigh in this morning, expected it lower. I am going to take the advice I give others, any loss is a loss; it doesn’t matter if it is .1 or 1.0. I hope everyone met their goals, had success, or at least learned something during this round.
End Results:↓4lbs
Good luck everyone!

Fairly happy with Round 68. Looking forward Round 69. I've been doing this Challenge since June 2017. This time last year I was 172 lbs. Today? 164.5! Vive le difference! It's been up and down, but the trend is downward!
Round 69 ~|~ End Goal: < 164
Fri 22/02: 164.5: Goals: Gym session with personal trainer + Week 5 Boditrax review. ✅Assessment showed small improvements in all areas. Down 1.8lbs. Did 50 mins treadmill/stationary bike/weights.
Sat 23/02: 164.4: Goals: 20 mins circuits/60 mins HIIT/60 mins yoga. ✅kept my circuits relatively low key as my muscles were protesting. Almost scuppered myself last night calorie wise, but fortunately, reined it in while I was still under goal. Not good as a general practice, though
Sun 24/02: 164.8: Goals: rest and leisurely walking only today. Keep as close to basic calories as possible. ✅Muscles appreciated the rest today. I did some bodyweight arm exercises, and gentle stretching + walking.
Mon 25/02: 164.9: Goals: HIIT/Tai Chi/walking. ✅
Tues 26/02: 164.6: Goals: HIIT/walking ✅ Posting very late today (bedtime! 😂). Managed my goals. Pleased that the weekend weight is on the move. I think I may post in the evenings in future.
Wed 27/02: 164.9: Goals: Fit exercise in round meetings. 9000 + steps/15 + strength/60 mins yoga session ✅
Thurs 28/02: 164.8: Goals: ✅Had planned on going to extra dance class but it was cancelled. Did 30 mins treadmill, 10 lower body circuits, 10 stretching, 9000+ steps. On a plateau yet again. Story of my life!!!
Fri 01/03: Goals: ✅
Sat 02/03: Goals:✅
Sun 03/03: 164.9: Goals: Keep on keeping on, but taking a break for Round 70. I'm just gonna rest here on this plateau and enjoy the view. I will still be working it, though. No rest for the wicked!
@kklawrence92 Your sticky numbers thing struck a chord. I have had so many sticky numbers in this process. 😂 😂 😂 It's as if the body just digs it's heels in and says "I'm holding on to what I got! " 😂
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.

02/22 – 192.1 – YEA! Good start. I recorded all food, drank all my water, and no alcohol (even though I really wanted a glass of wine). No exercise though.
02/23 – 190.5 – oh my. How exciting. Almost below 190. Recorded all food, drank my water, no alcohol, but also no exercise.
02/24 – 190.5 – I’m happy with this. While I recorded all my food, drank most of my water, I had 2 glasses of wine. Not exercise too, but worked around the house.
02/25 – 191.6 – Paying for the 2 glasses of wine and Panda Express yesterday. Monday and I’m back on track.

Female, 29, 5'3"
SW: 156 lbs (May 2018)
CW and BMI: 126.3 lbs, 22.3
GW and BMI: 116 lbs, 20.5
02/22: 126.3 lbs * I'm having a terrible time losing the last 10lbs, so I'd love to join in for a little daily motivation!
02/23: 126 lbs * Stayed within my calories yesterday, but I'm definitely not drinking enough water. I'm going to try and up my water intake today and prepare for a little water weight gain tomorrow.
02/24: 125.3 lbs * No water weight gain, but I still don't think I drank enough water yesterday. Still more than normal, but it's something I need to consciously work on. I'm so happy for the little dip in weight since I was super tempted to binge on my favourite pre-MFP snack last night and opted instead for a nice filling dinner (within my calories!). Waking up and seeing the number go down reminded me that indulging last night would have ruined my excitement this morning and I would have likely seen the scale go up a pound or two instead of down. I think my slow weight loss over the past couple months is from allowing myself to get away with Saturday snacking too much. I need to save my 'fun nights' for special dinner dates with my husband and overnight trips instead of munching away by myself on my computer. I'm feeling very successful today, hoping to keep it going!
02/25: 125 lbs * I'm so thrilled that I've lost 4 days in a row. I haven't had this much success in a while. It will definitely even out soon - I can't lose every day! I was super excited about my loss this morning because I had a pre-planned McDonald's dinner last night (well within my calories) and I didn't come home and snack once I was finished. It's nice having a treat once in a while that doesn't derail my progress and that fits into my daily calories. Good habits are starting to stick!
02/26: 124.5 lbs * I got off and on the scale so many times because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I didn't think this number would show up for quite a while. Hopefully I wont be seeing 125.5+ again anytime soon, but who knows. Feeling really encouraged to keep going at 120%.
02/27: 124.5 lbs * It had to slow down at some point! I'm so happy to be at this weight for another day. I was having the hardest time for a couple months focusing on my diet and this challenge is doing so much for keeping me accountable for each day. Feeling really awesome!
02/28: 124 lbs * I haven't had this successful of a week for months! I've stuck to my calories completely and drank lots of water this week and it's made such a difference. I'm really starting to notice improvements in areas of my body that I was still feeling really insecure about. I wasn't sure if 116 lbs was going to be my final goal weight, but I'm thinking it's probably going to be right on the nose for where I'll want to be in the end.
03/01: 124.8 lbs * I knew this was coming, it had to even out eventually. I stayed within my calories yesterday, ate healthy, but did not drink enough water. As in.... I didn't realise until almost 7PM that all I'd had to drink yesterday was a small cup of tea. And this was after a lot of walking. So I definitely know what to do differently today. Still feeling awesome (if not a little dehydrated)!
03/02: 125 lbs * A bit frustrating but it's alright. I stayed within my calories yesterday, drank my water, not much more I can do than that. Trusting the process!
03/03 125 lbs * I'm happy to see the number didn't change from yesterday since I spent the day in London and had a massive hot dog with sauerkraut and bacon that I wasn't entirely sure how to accurately log (but I did anyways!). I walked over 10k steps in total which is a lot for my lazy butt, so I'm feeling pretty good today. Happy to have lost 1.3 lbs in the past 10 days on this challenge. This was the success I was hoping for and I'm really excited to join all of you again for another 10 days!
