Ready for my round 8
OSW 88KG
RSW 78.1kg (-9.9 kg) or {21.8 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started!
Some NSV I can report
Been shopping in my closet!
Saw a friend I hadn't seen for months and she wanted all my diet tips!
Watch strap a hole tighter
03/14 78.2kg maybe... Weirdness from the scale this morning. Bumped into the PE teacher yesterday as I was going for my late run and she took me up hills and all over!
03/15 78.0kg.that's 10kg down💃🏽. Ran this morning but really need to do those push ups!
03/16 77.7 kg love a weekend loss.
03/17 77.0kg couldn't be happier! I feel quite dehydrated though so it might go up tomorrow. Also measurement day. Down another 4.5 inches to make 12.5 inches lost overall. Even did the pushups yesterday!
03/18 77.0kg all good. Even ran despite the rainy night and wet ground. Only a short 1.5km to start the week and I did pushup etc yesterday!
03/19 77.6kg for no reason so no worries. I'll keep within calories and macros and it will go again.
03/20 77.7kg still no reason and that's why I only record weight on Sunday! Pushups yesterday and a short run this morning
03/21 77.3kg back down again as predicted. It does this most weeks!

Round #5 for me.
Followed a 1000 calorie diet for the last 5 weeks! Lost some weight during the first 3 rounds but not as much as I expected and the last round was Disappointing for me. I gained .6 lbs
.. Still hanging in there. Got some great advice from other members here and will make some changes this round.. I'm trying now the 5:2 diet, where I'm eating free for five days of the week (up to 1700 calories) and the other two days restrict calories to 500–600 per day. Hope I'll see good results this round.

** ROUND 71 **
# 7 for me
GW end of round – 372
GW 299 – End of 2019 (6.2)
Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 378.4 (-0.4) – My goal this round is to focus, focus, focus! No more red rounds! My goal is to lose 4 to 6 pounds per round. If I don't lose that much no worries – I am not beating myself up. But I am determined not to have any more red rounds! I can do that at least! So to help me do that, I reset my ticker yesterday to my 2019 start weight, which I am over by 5.4 pounds. I have really been struggling but I am going to try to come out of this slump because life is just not getting any easier as we struggle in these trying times. My goal this year is lose 50 to 75 pounds and to do that I am really going to have to buckle down. My ticker is set for 75 but I will gladly take 50 plus in a heartbeat and nothing less than that for sure. I think having something already on the ticker is not helping me so I am trying something new. I have to keep trying and trying until I get it right!
My Dad is doing pretty good considering he is in hospice in a nursing home. In February it has been over year. Life goes on, so I have to find a way to make me a priority also. Baby steps
I am also working on increasing my sleeping hrs per night. I am happy to say this week I have slept 3 days since Monday over 7 hrs! I have not slept 7 hrs 3 nights in a week in a loooong time, so I am proud of that and I am going to try to keep it going because this helps me for sure.
I am really going to try to check in here more often too. That too will help me because I will be more mindful. I will read something to inspire, etc. The rounds I lost -- I checked in more also. Even if I don't have time to comment every day, I want to log my weight at least.
03/15 378.4 (-0.0) – Went over my points but did my exercise and got my 7000 steps. Short on sleep but feeling great and back on it today. Pre-planning for weekend so I can maintain or even lose a pound or more. We will see. I usually make my goal for weekend to maintain or not to gain. If I do that I am doing good. Past weekends I have blown my whole week on the weekend. Now I can maintain and even lose. I may go up one day and come right back down the next because I try not to have 2 or 3 bad days if you include Friday.
03/16 374.8 (-3.6)
- yesterday I resisted fast food after visiting my Dad in nursing home. Came home, had some eggs and grits. I also decided this morning to switch WW plans. I going to online only which will save me $25 a month since I am not going to meetings anyway but I love their points program. Right now the meetings are not in the plan for me and I rather use God, family, MFP and my therapist who I see Tuesday for my support system for now. That is my new plan for now. Giving up is not an option for me! 
03/17 373.6 (-1.2) - I got in my 7000 steps yesterday. Since I was over my WW points yesterday, I was surprised I was down today. I think I may be up tomorrow. Not sure since I did eat a lot of protein and hardly any carbs. Back on track a little bit today. But I know I will be down overall this weekend for sure -- so a win win.
03/18 372.6 (-1.0) - This week has been awesome. Since last Monday I have lost over 8 pounds! Finally consistently going down. I have revamped my game plan going forward and feeling good. Now to just keep the consistency going is the real challenge. But I am going to do it! Glad to finally wipe out the gain for this year and see the 1 pound on my ticker. 
I got in another 7 hours of sleep last night too. Sleep is a key factor for me. It helps me stay focused. I can definitely tell the difference when I get in those zzz’s!
03/19 369.6 (-3.0)- Now to stick the new decade! Yay! I know this is going to slow down but I am going to enjoy every minute of it for now and try to keep it going as long as I can. lol
03/20 376.2 (+6.6) - I had 2 items yesterday with a lot of salt and I did overeat but not to the tune of 7 pounds. So we will see tomorrow. I sorta got back on track today. Had a salad for dinner tonight and resisted fast foods but had sweets at work. So I will see what my buddy says in the morning. Nite nite.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 - 209.6 - up 1.4. No idea why, but today I will be super good to get back to where I was. Very good food wise and plenty of brisk walking
03/15 - 208.2 - back to where I was. Not a lot of exercise today. And not at home so eating was a little off.
03/16 - 210.6 - omg where did that 2.4 lb come from? Was expecting to be up but 2.4lb? Food ok, exercise none!
03/17 - 208.6 - weighed later than usual. Food ok but no exercise again. Another day of eating on the run.
03/18 - 211.8 - back to the 208s again. Food was good. Plenty of water and a 7km walk around my couch to 5k.
03/19 - 208.6 - very good food and water. And I managed a yoga class and a brisk walk. Not a long walk but at least I made the choice of 25 mins walking while I was waiting instead of grabbing a quick coffee.
03/20 - 207.6 - finally below my start weight! Good day food. Not as much exercise as I would like but I squashed in 2 shorts walks.

I don’t make a goal to lose here; I see how much I can lose within the 10 days. I do have goals and am on number 3. I don’t count this as completed until 210 or under.
My Goal 3 is to be 210 for March 29th – I will accomplish this ahead of time. I have other goals but have to reevaluate them, due to the weight already loss.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 – 210.2 – comments
03/15 - 210.0 – met my March 29th goal of weighing 210. I have to reevaluate goals today (was waiting for this weigh-in to do this).
03/16 210.6 – no complaints or explanations just moving onto the next day! I finally got new bands for my tracker a couple days ago and yesterday walked over 11,000 steps for me that is a lot.
03/17 – 209.8 my scale is screwy this morning, every time I stepped on it, it was a different weight all lower (207.2, 209.4), the last time I stepped it shot up to 210.8 (I know this amount is not correct), so I took the first one when stepped on the scale (the weight you see), I hate this scale really liked my first one, but it seems off since my hubby fixed it.
03/18 - 209
03/19 – 209.4 Surprised by this but I shouldn’t be, because started the day out by eating cookies, and it went down from there even though within my calories and a lot of exercise and movement so would not show on the scale my bad choices.
03/20 – 209.8 I can’t keep dwelling on it, this morning. I must let it be what it is and figure out what I am doing wrong. I am under calories always, I exercised more the past couple days, and got my 10,000 steps in, drink lots of water.
03/21 – 210.6 I don’t know what is going on here, I don’t cheat with calories, because I exercise and this allows for the calorie increase, I drink lots of water, I don’t eat after 6pm. The only difference is yesterday didn’t get extra exercising in. I don’t binge eat. I’m so disappointed.

03/14 96.9 Well that's a nice drop, no running etc at the moment as I am suffering with a viral infection. Sinuses are on fire and I feel like I'm going to cough up a lung soon! On the plus side I have zero appetite and it just tastes like cardboard when I eat…
03/15 96.7 nice to see the scale go down. Expecting a small bounce up over the weekend, I'm not eating properly and I haven't run since Tuesday… but it will be temporary! Feeling much better apart from the tail end of a really irritating tickly cough…
03/16 96.8 I took a maintenance day yesterday and just relaxed a bit! Planning to take another today. But hoping to be back out running by Monday. Surprised my weight didn't go up though as I had wine and snacks, guess there'll be a bounce somewhere down the road?!
03/17 97.1 nyeh, Cheese Board! It'll pass!
03/18 dnw completely forgot!
03/19 95.9 a week of a viral infection done, now it's time to get back to work! 17 days until graduation! I can't wait! I worked hard for my master's so I feel like I deserve my day out! 
03/20 95.2 think I was right to take out my implanon.... 10 days later and my weight is dropping very easily!
03/21 95.7 under calories yesterday but I did have a kebab!!! So I'm guessing the salt will be the culprit here!!! It'll drop off in a day or 2 at most. I have a run tomorrow morning then hitting the gym on sat and sun for spinning so I'll sweat it out!!! I was just feeling so sorry for myself as this viral infection is just not letting up, I am sooooo tired of coughing and blowing my nose!!!!

Reasonably good end to the round, happy with that, especially with shark week turning up a couple of days early this month, so cravings kicked in over the weekend. Onwards and downwards!
14/03
Had a maintenance day yesterday on account of shark week, managed to squash in a pizza and a muffin. Much lighter day today will be grabbing a chicken salad sandwich from deli for lunch and having veggie curry this evening. Off to Denmark in the morning, taking advantage of the long weekend (St Patricks Day bank holiday)so won't be back here til Tuesday. I'll weigh in, in the morning as normal but won't be around to update it as I use my work computer for this challenge. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
20/03
Had a lovely time in Denmark, lots of walking, exploring museums and the local area in Aarhus. Back to work today, so plenty more walking and plan to do some strength training this evening.
21/03
Happy Friday Eve! It's only 08:50 and I've already had a fairly active morning - Cycled 3km into work, walked to/from rowing training (around 2km) and rowed on the river for 1 hour including lifting the boats in and out. Planning to go for a walk at lunch time, leaving the bike at work so I can walk home this evening to get my steps up (Have signed up for another stepbet so need to be hitting around 12500 per day) and then another walk to get some groceries. I have a lovely salad for lunch (not a rabbit food type salad, it's about 850 calories)and then I have some pre-prepped Thai Spiced Peanut Butter Chicken for dinner with some stirfry veg and broccoli.9 -

My target for the round is to lose something - ideally be at 149 or less .....
Friends over from the US this weekend which will involve a few drinks and meals out so this weekend may not be pretty on the scales then but nothing other than that.
Need to get back into the losing mind set........... and staying accountable to myself by being on here is probably a good place to start
Start of round 150.6lb
14/03 - 150.0 (down 0.60lb) happy with that start thank you scales!
15/03 - 149.9 (down 0.1lb)
16/03 - DNW - didnt actually get home till 530am after a great night catching up with friends
17/03 - DNW - got a lay in and brought tea in bed
18/03 - DNW - totally forgot
19/03 - DNW - chucked out the bathroom this morning by my daughter! But still hopeful for 149 by the round end. Either got a lay in, totally forgot or else rushed out the bathroom before getting chance to weigh! Not doing very well with my intention for this round of being on here and being accountable to myself.....
Promise to myself to remember to weigh tomorrow - still 4 days of the round to go
20/03 - 151.0lb - up 1.1lb - not what I wanted to see but guessing its a hangover from the weekends socialising and the fact that TOM is now overdue
I am where I am so going to look at today as my new "1st January" 
3 days of the round left to make a difference. My original target for the round was to lose something so need at least 1lb gone before Saturday morning .....
21/03 - 149.3 down 1.7lb. up down up down - my intention is to make this "down" stick around. Still feel bloated - not sure if its because of the weight I'm currently at, not so great eating habits recently, TOM overdue or just general peri-menopausal stuff, but don't like it - will keep glugging away at the water for now and see what happens. Good food day planned and gym tonight and now hopeful to make my 149 target for the round end

03/14 - 274.4 - Had a great PT session last night. My trainer really pushed me and I upped quite a few of my weights on some lifts. I also joined the gym yesterday so I can do my training another day during the week. I am out on Saturday night so i'm trying to save a few hundred calories here and there so I don't go over my weekly calorie goal.
03/15 - 274 - So achy from Wednesdays PT session! It's just over 9 weeks till my cousins wedding and I told myself I was going to complete the C25K before it. So going to start that with some friends tonight. Got a busy busy weekend this weekend. Up first thing tomorrow to get the horses done, PT session at 9, meeting up with friends at 10:30 for breakfast, at a 1st birthday party in the afternoon and then an engegement party at night! Hope I can track my food and alcohol for the day! Started the C25K
03/16 - 272.2 - Had a PT session, out for breakfast, at a buffet lunch and takeaway tea!
03/17 - 274.2 - Ok with this after yesterdays food!

03/15 11st 1.6lb - I have no idea what happened here. I went to a cafe with a friend yesterday and while she had lunch I just had a soft drink. In the evening I went where there were cakes which I didn't have. I weighed all of my food and drink as always - I only had 1100 calories (100 under what I should have) although on 1200 I usually just maintain. But putting on almost 1 and a half pounds from yesterday has totally stumped me.

Today's my 27th wedding anniversary - yay us! We're going out, of course, but I have my meal planned and it's well within bounds. I also plan to hit the gym. I figure this is as good a day as any to start over.
03/15 - 149.4
That’s ok. We had a nice celebration yesterday and I went slightly over calories, but not bad. Off to the Y in a bit to work it off.
03/16 - 148.8
I've been trying to lay off the baking, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to make Irish soda bread or scones for tomorrow. At least I'm not planning to make Guinness brownies! Have a great weekend, all!
03/17 - 147.6
Finally going the right direction again. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
03/18 - 147.8
I made soda bread yesterday for St. Gertrude's Day (patron saint of cats - much more appealing than grumpy old St. Patrick!) and, I confess, I ate a little more than I should have -- but with low-cal cabbage soup, so balance, balance.... My campaign to stop snacking at night has fallen short over the weekend, too, so I'm back to my "write it down first" project to try to get a grip. I'd do something with my hands while watching Netflix - knit, for instance - but I have a kitten who wants to help. Have a good week, all!
03/19 - 147.6
Nothing new.
03/20 - 151
Oh, come on. That isn't even possible. I did go over my calorie goal and had salt, but really? 3.4 lbs? But...ok, I have to stop eating too much. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've reverted to my long-ago habits after 4 years of eating clean and proper. I guess this shows we're never really "cured" of old behaviors. But today is a new day and I'll try to clean up my act.

I think it's clear from your results that it is all about CICO. I've taken the liberty to look back at your previous records and it seems you do lose on around 1400/1450 calories, and you've increased those so it's no wonder that your weight has crept back up again.
I wouldn't worry about your 3.4lb which will be mostly water weight, but the general increase in calories is the real killer.
I've held you to account, as you asked at the beginning of this post, or I wouldn't have written this. I wish you all the best in the coming months - you've done it before, I'm sure you'll do it again

03/20 242.2 Well, that was surprising. I was fully expecting to be in the 230's this morning. Must have been the General Tso's Chicken for lunch. Stayed under my calorie goal, worked out like usual... We'll see tomorrow.

Round 69: 126.3 -> 125 (1.3 lb loss)
Round 70: 124.8 -> 122.5 (2.3 lb loss)
14 March: 122.3 lbs * Round three for me! I'm going to set my Round 71 goal weight at 121.3 lbs, so a pound loss over the next 10 days. Going out for dinner tonight and I've already put my meal into MFP so off to a good start!
15 March: 122 lbs * While at dinner last night I was tempted by a slice of chocolate cake for dessert. After looking the calories up on the restaurant's website and seeing it would only put me over my calorie budget by 75 I figured... screw it, and went for it. I opted not to get the ice cream on the side which would have put me over another 200 and wouldn't have been worth it. But the chocolate cake was! Didn't seem to harm anything as I was still in a deficit and the scale still went down this morning.
16 March: 122.5 lbs * I ate a massive chunk of my calories last night waaaaay after 8PM (when I usually stop eating for the night), so this wasn't a shock.
17 March: 122.3 lbs * Going back down -- feeling good! I've rediscovered granola and yogurt for breakfast. Sooo tasty and filling!
18 March: 122.3 lbs * I weighed in earlier than normal this morning but I didn't want to wait cause I was hungry. Need to drink more water today!
19 March: 122.3 lbs * Apparently my body really enjoys being this weight. Not worrying too much as I'm sticking to my calories and drinking lot of water. Trusting the system!
20 March: 122 lbs * Back down to my lowest this morning, I was very happy to see that! Date night with my husband tonight, might eat at maintenance but not sure yet. Leaving the option open. I'll be eating the majority of my calories for dinner tonight regardless so I won't be too surprised if there's a small increase on the scale tomorrow morning.
21 March: 122 lbs * I decided I didn't need to eat at maintenance last night since I was full-up from dinner. I'm feeling really good lately. My sleep is amazing, I have so much more energy. I've fallen in love with cooking all over again. And I'm still enjoying all the food I always have. Eating things I like in moderation is the key to my mental success, 100%. I focused too much in the past on letting other people's unsolicited advice tell me how and what I should be eating ("don't do x", "don't do y"). But lately I have been listening to my own body and judging my progress based on how I am feeling mentally and physically. I feel that this has been the biggest positive change. This journey has been more of a mental hurdle than anything and every day its getting easier. I really do feel like I could do this forever!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 – 142 – Holding steady which is a surprise due to my stress snacking lately.
03/15 – 142.5 – There’s the snacking. It could also just be some water weight, it happens all the time.
03/16 – 142 – Yesterday was such a crazy day I had no time to pack food for work or cook at home. I drove through the drive thru at McDonalds and got an egg mcmuffin w/o Canadian bacon for breakfast, a co-worker grabbed lunch at Chick-fil-a and I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, then my sick husband wanted pizza for supper so I ate one piece. Although I’m surprised the sodium/carbs didn’t hit this morning, I have to say my choices and quantities are better than I would have made before I started my weight loss last year. I know I could have ordered salads, but all in all it wasn’t a terrible calorie day and I felt satisfied.
03/17 - 143.5 - I knew it might take a couple days to show up! I'll be so glad when tax season is over and I can get back to a normal life.
03/18 – 144.5 – I wish I could say this was due to a fun night of partying last night. I know I didn’t eat enough to gain over 2 pounds so hopefully sticking to my weight loss calories and drinking plenty of water will get me back to the middle of my maintenance range by the end of the week.
03/19 – 144 – Slowly moving back down.
03/20 – 142.5 – That moved quicker than I thought it would!
03/21 – 141.5 – A new low!

I’m in again! Hoping to go down a few pounds this round. I love this group!! Good luck everyone! 😀
Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 198.4 up 1.2 pounds from yesterday, ate more than I should have for dinner (darn delicious French fries!😩) did make it on the treadmill, felt heavy and tired, but got the full 31 minutes in. Hoping to be down to 195 for this round.
03/15 199.2 up a little bit, but I’m ok with that because I felt stronger on the treadmill and was around goal for calories. Today will be a different story, having dinner out and it’s the weekend! 🤷♀️
03/16 200.2. Just like I figured, went overboard on eating. The husband is working this weekend so I can focus on my eating (or not eating) and getting my workouts in. I just need to make it through the weekend and no excuses!
03/17 199.6. Feeling good about the little loss. Kept calories down. Had a huge sugar craving at night but fought it and did a juice instead. Then made crackers out of the leftover pulp! My first attempt, need some work but pretty impressed. Today’s agenda includes house cleaning, groceries and meal planning (for a successful week) bring it in strong for the week everyone! ✋🏻👊🏻
03/18 198.4. Yea!! Made it through the weekend. ☺️
03/19 198.4. Holding steady. The husband is working the next three nights, I will be using the treadmill.
03/20 197.6 four more days, I can do this! I did w2d1 on the treadmill last night. (Couch 2 5k) I’ve started that program over so many times and have never finished it! 😂 but I love the app. Will be using it again tonight, I don’t know why I can’t remember that it’s kinda relaxing and that I should keep using it, be more consistent.
03/21 197.4. Stayed under calories, didn’t feel like doing anything after work and went to bed somewhat early. My real goal for this round is to get under 197, it’s been elusive for a long time. Two more days!!

03/14 176.4 Water weight is coming off! I’m ready to see what the next 10 days brings! I was within calories yesterday and got in a Fitness Blender upper body workout. Have a great day everyone!
03/15 176.8 Hmm...I was within calories and macros but I've got a little doms from that Fitness Blender workout and yesterday was a stressful day at work. I did get in a short walk. Today is my day off. I plan to do some resting today even though I need to buy some groceries. Not sure if I'll go for my step goal today, but I am thinking of getting a workout in!
03/16 174.8 I surprised myself and got my steps in and I got a workout! A lot of times it can feel a little hard to get 10,000 steps on my day off. But yesterday it felt easy. And I still feel like I had a relaxing day! Back to work today.
03/17 175 It was another crazy day at work yesterday. And I wanted so bad to give in to my old habit of soothing with sweets. "Just forget it. Eat whatever you want!" But I didn't give in to that thought! And it was just perfect timing that pastor is doing a series on feelings and how we don't want to just make decisions based on how we feel!
I'm going to try today and not let the craziness at work get to me.
03/18 175.6 Tried to post earlier but couldn't. Is this the corned beef and the beer? I tracked them both and was supposedly within calories. Anyway it was a delicious way to end my day! I've been gluten free for close to 10 years and hubby bought me a gluten free porter as that used to be my favorite type of beer. It was so good! But I only had 8 oz. It's nice to know I can enjoy it again!
03/19 175 It’s my hubby’s birthday today! But we’re going to have family dinner out tomorrow for his birthday. It’s my day off today, and I’m really taking a rest day today. This past weekend at work was the longest and busiest weekend ever. I might take a short walk because it’s beautiful sunny out today!
03/20 173.6 I stepped on and off the scale a couple of times just to be sure! I had a pretty nice day off yesterday, and we took a nice sunset walk. Felt like a relaxing day. Tonight we’re going out to dinner for my hubby’s birthday. I’ve guessed how many calories it’s going to be. I’m looking forward to it! I hope you guys have a great day!
03/21 175.2 Crazy. We went out for my hubby's birthday dinner and had a nice visit with family. I thought I over estimated the calories in my dinner. I might have and this is salt? 🤷♀️ And I guess we're going out again tonight because some friends are in town. It'll be nice to see them again! Nutrition information was not available at either place, the one we ate at last night and the place we're tonight. I'm trying to make healthy choices.

03/14 - 149
Today's my 27th wedding anniversary - yay us! We're going out, of course, but I have my meal planned and it's well within bounds. I also plan to hit the gym. I figure this is as good a day as any to start over.
03/15 - 149.4
That’s ok. We had a nice celebration yesterday and I went slightly over calories, but not bad. Off to the Y in a bit to work it off.
03/16 - 148.8
I've been trying to lay off the baking, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to make Irish soda bread or scones for tomorrow. At least I'm not planning to make Guinness brownies! Have a great weekend, all!
03/17 - 147.6
Finally going the right direction again. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
03/18 - 147.8
I made soda bread yesterday for St. Gertrude's Day (patron saint of cats - much more appealing than grumpy old St. Patrick!) and, I confess, I ate a little more than I should have -- but with low-cal cabbage soup, so balance, balance.... My campaign to stop snacking at night has fallen short over the weekend, too, so I'm back to my "write it down first" project to try to get a grip. I'd do something with my hands while watching Netflix - knit, for instance - but I have a kitten who wants to help. Have a good week, all!
03/19 - 147.6
Nothing new.
03/20 - 151
Oh, come on. That isn't even possible. I did go over my calorie goal and had salt, but really? 3.4 lbs? But...ok, I have to stop eating too much. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've reverted to my long-ago habits after 4 years of eating clean and proper. I guess this shows we're never really "cured" of old behaviors. But today is a new day and I'll try to clean up my act.
03/21 - 150.6
I ate properly yesterday but feel a bit bloaty, so I'm sure I'm retaining water for some reason. That's not to dismiss weight I've gained, but I'm hopeful it's not quite as bad as it looks Anyway, my two goals going forward are to keep my calories in check and stop snacking.

R71 my R2
Last round got off to a difficult start but I had a woosh at the end and exceeded my goal by 2 pounds.
I'm setting my new goal at 153
This round I'm going to concentrate on staying really hydrated, getting lots of sleep, keeping up my 5 gym days and avoiding wheat/potatoes.
3/14- 154.6 starting the round with a new low! Recovering today from two heavy exercise classes back to back yesterday. I might need to pace myself as today I've been feeling quite weak.
3/15 - 153.6 (-1#) I wasn't expecting this drop and am thrilled because it puts me into the 10 stone bracket, just! Going out to dinner tonight though so I expect it'll go back up.
3/16 - 154.4 (-0.2#) yep, as expected, its back up a bit. Did an exercise class so that gave me some flexibility with calories for the meal out. I managed to stay within my calories by choosing wisely. It was an Indian restaurant so choosing something without tons of oil is tricky but I went for chicken shashlik and alcohol free beer. Going to cinema tonight so that's going to be another challenge! I won't drink again tonight as it makes it so much easier to make food choices!
3/17 - 154.6 (-0#) another tricky day yesterday, went shopping and had lunch at pizza hut. Had a flatbread pizza and a couple of bowls of salad but stuck to vegetables with French dressing. Cinema in the evening, had a few crisps and chocolates but not much. No gym but stayed within calories.
3/18 - 155 (+0.4#) yuk, no-one likes a gain! Did two exercise classes back to back yesterday and was quite tired afterwards so ended up taking a nap. I was feeling sore and drained in the evening so had a mini binge on some biscuits. Carby day! Five more weigh ins to get down 2#!
3/19 - 153.4 (-1.2#) yay back down again and a new low! Didn't workout yesterday but had a very physically demanding day clearing out the garage and fitting my new workshop. Crashed out in the evening and had two blackberry muffins for dinner! (Can't resist my daughter's baking) still feeling quite worn out today. Going to visit an old friend which is lovely but she always makes a cake so I may be having cake for lunch!
3/20 - 152.6 (-2#) I think I just lost a shed load of water weight as I have been feeling achy and tired and yesterday I was peeing a lot! Didn't end up visiting my friend so was able to eat carefully. However I had a mini binge on a white bread roll with butter and a beer. Oops!
Haven't been to the gym since Sunday as I've just not felt recovered enough and it's getting me down. Also I'm concerned that a large part of my weight loss it's muscle loss as I feel like I'm losing strength and my biceps/upper arms have shrunk quite rapidly, this is not good.
3/21- 151.6 (-3#) down again! I'm not going to change my goal weight though as that's tempting fate! Yesterday I rested a lot during the day and didn't eat much. Did a body combat class in the evening which I found really tough. I think I need to make sure I've eaten enough if I'm gonna attempt that class again as I just burned out really quickly. Starting to get hopeful that I might get into the 140s next week but totm is looming and that usually brings a plateau of a week or so.
