Round 71 (3rd for me)
Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4
Round70 TL -3.6 pounds 356.4 - 352.8
OSW: 382
RSW: 352.8
UGW: 160
03/14 - 347.8 Umm...what!?! Five pounds lost overnight? I had my husband double check the scale because he had already weighed and then I weighed myself again. Hopefully the downward trend continues, but I won’t be surprised by gains in the following days. My goals are to stay on track and continue to fight my cold.
03/15 - 347.2 So it appears that my scale wasn’t horribly wrong yesterday and the downward trend continues. I’m feeling much better this morning and I’m already at pre sick steps for the morning. I might wait until Sunday to restart workouts. I’m very cautious with chest colds due to having a history of getting bronchitis. Today is my mother in law’s birthday and I’m hopeful of staying on track.
03/16 - 353 Frustrating but not surprising. I didn’t think I had lost 5 pounds overnight and I guessed that I should have been closer to my round start weight. Anything over that is from the bread and sodium from last night’s dinner. I’m sure the next couple of days will see my weight average out between the two numbers. My nsv yesterday was getting in all the steps I wanted plus a few extra.
03/17 - 353 Just waiting on the woosh down.
03/18 - 352.4 That’s a start. I believe that one of the reasons I’m finding this weight set mentally difficult is this is the weight I was when I last tried to lose over four years ago. I bounced between this and 350 and at the time I thought I was really trying. Looking back I know that wasn’t the case. I would have a cheat meal which would turn into a cheat day which turned into a cheat week. I never made any true or lasting changes. I keep having to remind myself that this time I’m serious and that this very minor hiccup is water and that I’m honestly tracking and not falling back into old habits. I know that I’ve got this and that I can do it.
03/19 - 351.4 I spent part of my day figuring out some of my lack of motivation and lack of activities for stress release. I’ve been staying in calories, but it’s been harder every day. I now have a plan in place that I think will suit me well and if not I’ll fix whatever is broken.
03/20 - 350 And another woosh down. I’m sure the quick drops will even out again here soon, but it’s nice to see right now. My nsv yesterday was taking a walk outside. It wasn’t far, but it was further than I would have walked in my house.
03/21 - 350 Not unexpected after a couple of bigger drops so I’m pretty happy there overall. I’m looking forward to getting solidly in the 40’s here soon because everything under this weight is lower than I’ve been in about eight years.
03/22 - 350.6 Not bad considering my dinner choices last night.

Day/Weight/Comment
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!!!!
03/22 dnw was up half the night coughing so just completely forgot to weigh this morning! Feeling very sorry for myself now with this cough so I've prelogged all my meals to try and avoid a sugar binge!

I ran last night and took two walks with my dog yesterday, lots of exercise, I'm a little sore today! Hoping tomorrow I'm back down, would be nice to have lost something this week...
I work all day today and then have a concert tonight. Meeting friends before the concert for food and drinks, gonna check out the menu online and make a choice before I go and my plan is to drink soda water with lime, since I had beer with dinner last night. 👍

03/14 177.1 Stayed withing calories and walked 4 miles last night. It was 64 degrees and sunny after being SUPER rainy all morning. It was a great walk and a good dinner after. I had hoped to see something a little lower this morning but I guess not.
03/15 176.9 Sure I saw 175 but only briefly, damn flirty scale. Walked 3.5 on the treadmill at the gym. Made sure I was under the HGTV screen because at least it's something interesting to watch while I'm walking hooked up my headphones and boom - the channel goes out. Talk about first world problems. I should be able to walk outside this afternoon at 47 and sunny. Happy Friday all! Here's to good choices this weekend.
03/16 No Scale but I walked Friday night and Saturday.
03/17 177.7 I hate this weight. I've been here for approximately 20 days and another 10 days at an even higher weight. Spent the day babysitting my niece who was cranky, she is not enjoying being weaned.
03/18 177.5 I feel like I need to change things up. I have been at this same basic weight for a month. It's super frustrating. I need to think about what to do. Keeping my head down and doing the same thing isn't working and it's time to address that. I spent yesterday going thru all my winter clothes and donated 2 bags. It occurred to me that I probably have no summer/spring clothes that fit me. Lots of big comfy tshirts but I don't know if I have a single pair of capris or shorts that will fit. I know it's just March but shopping season never ends
03/19 No Scale Traveling again. I decided to eat maintenance for a few days to give myself a break. Still exercising and tracking but I set my calories at 1700 and I'm not going to freak out about it. I got in 3 miles last night though not on the cool trail. I'm going to try to do the cool trail tomorrow on the drive home. Tonight is weights, I upped several weights last week and was a little sore, we'll see how it goes tonight.
03/20 No Scale Meetings this morning, then driving home with a planned stop along the Katy Trail for a quick walk. If you're in Missouri you should check it out, if I had more time I'd try other stops.
03/21 179.1 Sodium and two days of driving has upped this number. Got in 3.2 miles and was very happy to spend an hour outside on the first day of spring walking along the Missouri river before it's too high to do so safely. Eating at maintenance was harder than I thought. I'm giving myself until Monday. I was, with exercise within calories yesterday but it was a close thing. An old friend is staying with me for a few days and we went to dinner last night after the long drive home.
03/22 179.1 I didn't expect anything so this is what it is. No exercise yesterday, calories within goal. I'm going to try and enjoy the weekend. I've got I-don't-want-to-workitis so badly today it's all I can do to sit in my office. Add to that my boss is out of the office and it's sunny and warm. I predict that I will NOT work until 5:00 today. I'm guessing 3:30ish and a long walk, my brain needs it.

@Tracie_Lord WHOO HOO! Look at you go!! Keep up the great work!!
@jlbtnc Losing 15# in your first 3 rounds is incredible. Give your body a chance to figure out what’s going on. Stick to it, you will continue losing if you are patient.4 -

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.
22/03
Just a quick update today as busy with some online shopping (payday and Friday all at once yay!)

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14--212.9 I realized that I need to really work on my evening snacking. I don't know if it's boredom, tiredness or something else, but I want to be really conscious of why I snack so much in the evening even when I'm not hungry. What's weird is that I'm not even snacking on junk food or any specific type of food. It's going to be hard, but I think it should be interesting. Trainer tonight.
03/15--212.5 Ok, yesterday evening I tried something new to help curb my snacking. I had my dinner and then about 1/2 an hour later I realized that I was still hungry, but instead of reaching for a snack I decided to have another serving of my dinner. After the 2nd serving the hunger was gone and when about an hour later my husband asked if I wanted any of the popcorn he made I said no when I realized that I wasn't hungry. I didn't snack for the rest of the evening and in the end ate less calories than I've eaten over the prior couple of days when I was snacking. This has made me realize that I'm probably not eating enough for dinner and when I get hungry in the evening and start snacking it's hard for me to stop. So, I think from now on I'm going to eat more at dinner which will curb my hunger during the rest of the evening and hopefully I won't even start snacking. Run tonight.
03/16-212.5. Kept with the larger dinner last night and there was no snacking. Finished w7d2...8 more days to my 5k. Went to the gym this morning to do some weightlifting. Have to work on getting my water in today...it's so much harder for me on the weekend.
03/17--212.9 Well, plan to drink more water yesterday was a fail. I also realized that my plan to eat more at dinner to reduce snacking works much better on days that I work because I will snack all day if I'm at home. I think I may just accept the fact that I will probably be eating at maintenance on the weekends and just not worry about staying in deficit. Today I finished W7D3...it was an absolutely perfect run...one more week until my 5k. I bought a sofa today and did some errands. Drinking more water today than yesterday so that is a plus.
03/18--212.5 Up and down and up and down. No workout/run planned today, but the weather is supposed to be great today, high 60's and sunny, that I might need to take the dog out after work for a long walk.
03/19--212.0 Had a tough workout today, trainer switched up some exercises and I definitely felt it.
03/20--211.4 Large dinner yesterday worked again with curbing my evening snacking. I was feeling stressed out yesterday about 2 hours after my dinner, I was studying for a test, and I wanted to snack, but then I stopped myself when I realized I wasn't hungry. So instead of starting to snack I had 2 pieces of dark chocolate. I won't have time to run after work today so instead of missing my run I am planning to run at lunch today, something I haven't done in years.
03/21--212.0 Went out for a run during lunch yesterday and finished W8D1...3 more days until the 5k. The run was great. It was a lot warmer than I thought it would be during the lunchtime run, but I was still able to finish. I had homemade pizza for dinner and instead of adding another slice for a larger dinner I decided to have a salad. Only snack after dinner yesterday was 1 piece of dark chocolate. My sister-in-law and I are back in a walking challenge, she already has 8k more steps than I do, so after my trainer session today I am going to take the dog out for a long walk.
03/22--212.5 I am so sore after the PT session yesterday, but I still took the dog out for a long walk later in the evening. Did a little more snacking yesterday than I had done over the past couple of days even though I ate a larger dinner. Even though I snacked, I realized that I wanted a snack because I was still hungry and not because of some other emotion, so that was definitely a positive. When I look back to yesterday I think the weightlifting yesterday made me extra hungry. Since I was hungry I don't have an issue that I actually snacked yesterday after dinner, instead my issue was that my snack wasn't healthy and if it had been any earlier in the evening I probably would have continued snacking. So my plan is to now preplan my snacks ahead of time for the days that I weightlift.

03/14 234.8 Happy to have found this challenge. Finishing a vacation and feeling that I could have enjoyed it more and been more active if I were healthier and lighter. Was not able to be as physically active with my kids as I would've liked. It is no fun being the least fit person in a group.
03/15 234.6 Overnight drive last night. Energy level was really up and down today. Not caught up on sleep yet. Not well hydrated.
03/16 234.6 . Listened to a guided meditation for weight loss on Insight Timer before going to sleep last night.
03/17 240.1 Decided to start weighing and posting at night. Figured weights may fluctuate more, but it is more convenient for me. Depressed about vacation being over. Should be much easier for me to eat less this week though, due to return to normal life.
03/18 236.8. Back to work, boohoo. Very busy and stressful day. Didn't sleep well last night and had a terrible neck/headache all night and today. Finally took some Aleve and it helped tremendously.
Don't know why it takes me so long to think of taking a pain reliever.
Did a yoga DVD and the whole family participated (6 year old took a break to eat some Rice Krispies). Back felt a lot better after.
Still feeling dehydrated all day.
This was the most “normal” day since the start of the challenge.
03/19 235.2 . Did not have a big enough dinner last night. Got a headache again today. Definitely still overdoing it on sugar.
03/20 236.2 My aunt had a stroke 10 days ago. My mom put her on the phone tonight for a few seconds. It was wonderful! Family history of stroke and heart attack are something to start taking seriously. I want to live my best life possible.
03/21 236.8 . Today is my Friday. Hoping to get outside a lotthis weekend.
This app has become unusable for me most of the time. It just won't load anything in the Community tab. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it.
I never use the App, always log in using the internet and web page - it's stable x
I use both, but there are just certain things more easier to do on laptop, tablet or PC and the challenges and message boards are not APP friendly to me. So I use my laptop and PC at work for the message boards and challenges for sure.5 -

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.

- 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.
03/21 372.4 (- 3.8)Yeah!! Got my 7000 steps and 6 hrs of sleep. Over my points but no fast foods. Had a salad for dinner and drunk plenty of water to get rid of that salt. I saw 360’s this morning. I am really shooting for 369 by Saturday. If not I will still be at my goal for the end of this challenge. I had an awesome session with my therapist Tuesday too. She is very good.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
3/13 129.0
#############
3/14 128.0 Didn’t got to Greek as planned last night. Going to Golden Corral tonight with friends.
3/15 128.0 I plan to enjoy homemade chicken broth today. Think I overdid the treadmill yesterday. I actually WANT to get back to where I was 10 years ago but my body is not so sure.
3/16 128.0 Finally made it to Great Greek and ate 1/2 my large Greek Salad with gyro. I was stuffed. Also walked a lot. Got over my step goal.
3/17 128.5. Finished my salad for brunch yesterday, made Alfredo chicken and zoodles for a friend’s memorial potluck. Don’t know what I ate that made me feel so bloated! UGH!
3/18 128.5 May not have had enough water yesterday. Neighbor dog woke us before 5:30 this morning.
3/19 128.5 Lots of water and 50 minutes on the treadmill yesterday
3/20 128.5 Only 35 minutes on treadmill yesterday but went a little faster. Art Quilts and community bingo today. Meeting Amy at the gym between!
UPDATE: Migraine - didn’t go to the gym. Came home and took meds I. hope that I will feel like going to bingo. Several people today mentioned my weight loss. I’m wearing a tee shirt I’ve worn before and my jean shorts are the same size as the jeans I wore all winter. Strange!
3/21 129.0 Headache finally went away sometime during the evening. Not sure why the bump up unless it was caused by the migraine.🤷♀️
3/22 127.5 Equally mystified by the drop! I hit this weight on 2/8 but prior to that it was last seen in 1986-87! My SIL and niece arrive this afternoon. I can’t wait to see them! Posting my be sparse for the next week.9 -
10 DAY GOALS: Planning to (1) log everything carefully over the next 10 days with 1200-1400 range (2) hit my protein macro daily and (3) eat noon to 8 pm

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 157.8 Road trip, not the best eating.
03/15 157.2 Visiting with friends today but going to keep my goals in mind.
03/16 157.2 No gains after vacation, I'll take it! With 7 days left in this challenge, I will need to buckle down on my eating. I want to see those 2.4 lbs GONE! Maybe I'll finally load up one of the beachbody workouts I'm paying for every month, ha.
03/17 157.2. I'm stuck here, it seems. For 3 days in a row. I did finally start PiYo yesterday and am committed to doing another "workout" today. By workout, I mean I made it through the intro section that shows you how to do all the moves. It was challenging enough for me, that's for sure! Today, I'm fighting Sunday habits/cravings with my family: usually, we get donuts or breakfast burritos and sugary coffees. None of that for me today! Keeping tomorrow's weigh-in in mind.
03/18 156.6. Down 1.2 lbs so far! Maybe I can get another .8 off the scale in the next 5 days. Seems doable! Yesterday I made good choices and avoided the Sunday sugars, so I'm feeling accomplished all of a sudden. I'll call it a NSV.
03/19 156.6 Yesterday was my first time trying to log a more complicated homemade meal, and I took the time to input every ingredient of the Shepherd's pie so I knew exactly how much of a serving I could have. This is classic comfort food, and I proved to myself that I can eat what I enjoy and stay within my limits. I'll be running errands all day today so likely eating out, but I'm not worried.
03/20 156.6. Well, I have MFP set to a 1.5 lbs loss a week, and I guess it's set correctly! Honestly, I had hoped for a bigger week 1 loss, even if it was water weight, just to see the scale moving downward more dramatically. Oh, well. I think this means if I'm losing 1.5 a week on 1200 calories, I'm slashing 750 calories a day (500/day for a 1 lb loss; 750/day for 1.5, 1000/day for 2 lb loss)? If my math is right, my maintenance level would be 1950/day as a super sedentary woman.
I'm not willing to slash 1000 calories and eat only 950 to get down to a faster 2 lb loss, especially considering I'm unable to do any real calorie-burning exercise with my mobility issues (say, by eating 1200 and exercising away 250 without eating the exercise calories back). So I'll lose slowly, but as long as I'm losing, I'm good.
Today I'm shooting for 1400 calories just to mix it up a bit. We'll see if my experiment pays off...
03/21 158.2 I'm trying not to worry about the upswing because I know I didn't gain 2 lbs of fat overnight from eating an extra 200 calories yesterday. Impossible.
03/22 155.4 There it is! Down 2.8 from yesterday, 2.4 from my starting weight this round. So encouraged! I do think a 1400 calorie day here and there (1-2 times a week) may keep my body guessing.

03/14 155
03/15 154.5 (so happy to see a 4! Have been at 155 for several days)
03/16 154.5
03/17 154.4 hoping I can stay around this number through Wednesday (TOM starts approximately) I didn’t drink enough water yesterday so will hydrate more today
03/18 154.4
03/19 154.5, the last three rounds have been a bit frustrating. I’m going to work on eating the right food, instead of whatever food fits in the calories the rest of the round and to try to eat earlier (because of work I had dinner at 9:30pm last night)
03/20 154.5
03/21 154.3, hoping to lose some of the water weight from period by Monday of next week. Yesterday was my 100 day of tracking with MFP, so still proud of that even if the last three rounds have had slow weight loss compared to the first two months.
03/22 153.9
03/2310 -
I have no idea how many rounds this is for me. Ended last round at 152.7, looking to end this one at least at 150 something and with a lower 10 day average. Good luck everyone!
03/14 - 151.0 did more snacking last night than I should have. I didn't get dinner on the table till about 7:15 and had a couple of snacks while I was cooking and waiting to start cooking. We were trying to get the second oldest ready for his first day of work. It took us 18 years to convince that kid he needed a job, but he finally did it. I am just hoping he likes it and he figures out it isn't as bad as he has built it up to be in his head. The oldest also came by and picked some furniture up that we are giving him and his girlfriend. They are getting their own place next month when this semester ends and moving in together. First year of college is almost complete for them. Plan is set today for food and water and I am staying on my no alcohol train. Today will be day 5, trying to do a 14 day no alcohol challenge. Honestly it has been tougher than I thought.
03/15 - 151.0 same as yesterday. I guess I can't complain, although was hoping it would be lower. We did go out to dinner last night and I stayed within calories. Did not eat any bread which is definitely a win in my book. So I guess staying the same after a meal out is good, seeing as I usually gain a couple of pounds after a night out. Meals are ready for today and hoping for the best through the weekend.
03/16 - 150.1 Nice little drop to start the weekend. It also flashed 149.8 but then went up to 150.1. Still very happy with my weigh in. Now if I can hold on to it for the next 2 days. I’m already on track for breakfast and lunch today. Going out to dinner tonight and then a basketball game. My goal today, no alcohol and to eat something in calories at the restaurant.
03/17 - 151.0 I have no idea why it’s up. Ate well and ran errands all day. Thought it would be lower though. Maybe it’s because we ate so late last night or because I weighed 3 hours later than normal this morning. I’m not complaining, it’s a Sunday and it hasn’t gone up 2 or 3 pounds, so I guess I will take it as a win.
03/18 - 154.0 I am extremely annoyed. Last weekend I thought it was because I ate pork on Sundays. It's the only day that I eat it, but we always have a big family breakfast with sausage and bacon every Sunday. So I didn't eat any of it thinking it was the sodium, and I gained 3.6 pounds from Friday to Monday. This weekend I was convinced that it had to be the alcohol that we drink on the weekend. So, I did not have a sip of alcohol all weekend, not even yesterday for St Patty's day! Guess what I gained 3.9 pounds Friday to Monday. I stayed within calories, drank a ton of water I thought, and still have this crazy spike. Maybe it is bread? I usually don't eat bread at all, but the weekends are harder seeing as we do hamburgers or hot-dogs on the grill ,or order pizza, or have toast or biscuits with breakfast. So I guess I will cut all bread next weekend and see if that's what is causing my gain. Maybe I have a hard time processing the bread right away or something. I know I will be back down in a day or 2 but it messes up my 10 day average and it is so frustrating some times. I ate a half a piece of toast yesterday and a cinnamon roll and 2 slices of thin crust pizza. All within calories, no reason for a 4 pound gain.
03/19 - 153.0 down a pound. No bread last night, but did have a beer. Ate below calories and on plan so far today. Hopefully I will be back down to 151 tomorrow and 150 by Thursday. Would love to see that 149 by Saturday, but we will see.
03/20 - 151.8 and back down again. I'm hoping for a 150 something tomorrow and to finish this round strong. 3 days left and meeting my goal for this round is very doable at this point. Did well yesterday food wise, under calories, no alcohol, no bread, and drank all my water. This no bread thing is actually harder than I thought. We make rolls with almost every meal. I usually have at least half a one or a couple of bites. I never really noticed it until last night that I do eat it and just don't count it. I guess if I only have half of one it doesn't count in my mind, lol. I have had 5 days out of the last 7 at 151 something or below, so that's definitely bringing my 10 day average down this time.
03/21 - 150.9 made it to my goal this round. Now I just have to hold onto it for 2 more days!
03/22 - 150.9 same as yesterday. Been pretty consistent accept for Monday and Tuesday this round. Going to try hard this weekend to figure out what makes me have such a large water retention problem on Mondays. I have stuck to my no bread all week, but don’t see much of a change. We did order pizza last night and I only ate the topping off of 1 slice. Then I made a large salad with chicken for dinner. I really wanted to eat the whole piece of pizza, including bread but resisted. Really trying to get into that new decade again!

03/13 …..186.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/14 …..185.8 ….. Nice to see a drop again. Like some of the others I feel very sore from a lot of the exercise. I may decrease the amounts today and allow a little rest to these old bones & muscles. I will spend the time prep cooking for my freezer. I may skip going to the potluck/pool hall that I attend on Thursdays. We will see. Yesterdays stats: 1089 Calories In / 2795 calories out. 12 Net Carbs mostly in veggies. 21,329 Total Steps & 9.03 Total Miles. I wanted to IF 12:12 (two week metabolism reset plan) but found that I’m just too busy at my planned starting time due to my work schedule. Today I will attempt again but at a bit of a later starting time. My IF yesterday was 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my Fitbit while sleeping so no exact tracking on sleep, but my best clock estimate was just over 5 hours. I walked 112 minutes inside the school and danced for 51 minutes on my make-believe dance floor in my livingroom. Sample Song “Everyday People” by Sly & the Family Stone. Good luck this round everyone. I have read all the posts in this new round up until my own & you guys have already put me in a motivated and terrific mood. I feel empowered! Thanks Everyone!
03/15 …..185.6 ….. I skipped the pool hall & potluck last night & focused on the flooding in our area. Because my home is on a slab, the danger of it getting into my house is real so I bailed water until 4:00 a.m. It also rained & that was not helping. I have a new ground drain outside but it is frozen over or buried so I could not find it. Today will also be challenging. I hope to find it before I travel this week or I will come home to a sunken ship! We still have about 8 inches of snow across the grass & large hills along the sidewalks & driveways. Sunny days are causing the meltdown. If it is not too sunny today I would like to get down to the school to walk again. Yesterday’s stats: 1054 Calories In / 2145 Calories Out. 13 Net Carbs. 16,275 Total Steps & 6.89 Miles. IF 12:12 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 33 minutes and was up early to start bailing the water. I am very angry right now that my husband died on me 3 years ago. I walked a short walk of 11 minutes & I danced for 33 minutes. Sample song “Faith” by George Michael. Have a great weekend everyone. And please, stop one moment & say a prayer that I find that ground drain & get it unfrozen & drinking in the water & melting snow.
03/16 …..185.6 ….. I never found the ground drain myself for the flooding. I finally thought to call the man who put it in & he guided me by phone & bam, found it! Thanks for the hugs & prayers that led me back to the plumber. Cold & gloomy again but waiting for the meltdown & ready this time. Yesterday’s stats: 1264 Calories In / 2640 Calories Out. 19 Net Carbs. 15,616 Total Steps & 6.42 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I Slept for 5 hours & 23 minutes and am feeling very tired today. Really dragging butt. I took a moderate paced walk around my property for 13 minutes yesterday & I danced for 63 minutes in one long set. Sample song “Mockingbird” by Carly Simon & James Taylor. Such a good groove/vibe to get into! Not enough water lately. I’ve got to try harder on that front. It affects everything.
03/17 …..186.4 ….. What the heck? I have no idea how it went up 0.8 . I’ve done everything right! I do have a new recipe that I used in prep cooking which I’ve eaten a couple of times from the freezer. I wonder if I’ve imputed the ingredients properly for the correct calorie & carb information. I am going to put the recipe in again today & see what happens. Maybe I’ve been going over my macros without knowing it! Not much sleep last night so that didn’t help. Also, not enough water again so no BM again. All are factors. Yesterdays stats according to what I thought I knew: 1190 Calories In / 2680 Calories out. 21 Net Carbs. 14,307 Total Steps & 6.05 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. IF 12:12. I slept 2 hours & 43 minutes but am actually feeling pretty good right now. I walked at moderate pace for 29 minutes & I danced for 48 minutes with my son! Sample song “Dream no More” by Metallica. Warning/Disclaimer = It’s a heavy metal song that he picked. Not my groove but it worked for us. Happy Sunday everyone!
03/18 …..187.6 ….. I Obviously enjoyed St. Patty’s Day yesterday showing an additional gain this morning to go along with unexplained weight gain still lingering from the day before as well. I double checked my recipes & they are correct so I’m not sure what is going on (prior to the celebrations) which showed a mysterious gain. Trusting the process. Yesterday’s stats (making things worse) had too many calories to count, easily 2500 is my guess. Unknown carbs. Fitbit information is as follows on all else: 2390 Calories burned. 11,300 Total Steps & 4.78 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 47 minutes & had an early weigh-in this morning. No planned exercise yesterday but had to work until late afternoon yesterday so I got my steps in before any celebrations began. Have a great week everyone. I will read your posts as able & see you when I get back!
03/19 ….. ….. Travel-no scale. Will log & post as able. Travel going well but so much sitting! I will try to do a little walking today. For those of you just getting to know me, I live in a very rural area. We have one grocery, a gas station that still pumps our gas for us. A Pharmacy, one dollar store and some Amish stores such as lumber and general store. 2 Family restaurants & a McDonald’s built just a few years ago. We also have one pizza place with, of course, no delivery available. No stores, no strip malls, no big malls, no plazas. Our school house is one building for headstart through 12th grade. The average amount of students to graduate each year is about 12 kids. To get to towns that have Chinese food, Mexican food, Italian Food, dairy queens, donut shops or bakeries, even a walmart is such a joy. To see things like KFC, Arbys, Burger King, Wendys, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell is Wow wow wow. It has, thus far been a temptation that I have been unable to resist. When traveling, I see a menu & I just can’t contain myself. It puts me weeks backwards on any weight loss everytime I travel, even for an overnight! At home there are no gyms, pools, walking trails, bike trails etc that are groomed. They allow us to walk inside the schoolhouse for exercise during the school year. In the summer we can walk to track at the school, or in my neighborhood. Most streets are dirt roads and we share them with the Amish horses so watch out where you step lol. So I walk at the school & I dance. And I go overboard when I’m out of town around new sensational foods. But I am learning & using new habits that help. I just wanted to give all the newbies a bit of history. I am in remission for breast cancer so taking care of myself is vital & I hate my setbacks more than you know. I am caring for my adult (but childlike) Autistic son alone. My husband passed away 3 years ago this month. I was his caregiver for several years & that was tough. I own & run two small businesses from my home/on my property. Cabin rentals. It keeps me active. My hands are full & it is difficult to do all of this alone now, but I strive & I do my best. I have lost a lot of weight in the past year, but these past few months (since fall) have been horrid. I am trying to get back on track & I consider my necessary travels a setback. Bittersweet. I enjoy getting out there in the world, yet I don’t because of its impact on me. I thank everyone for their continued support. The ideas I have been given are tremendous. I want you to know that none of it is wasted on me. I am not always on target, but I use them all in my strong times. You’ve made all the difference in my little world. Thanks for the chance to introduce myself to all of you who do not yet really know me.
03/20 ….. ….. Travel-no scale. Will log & post as able. Too many calories & carbs to figure. I am writing it down & will log it when I get home. My fitbit information is as follows for yesterday: 2705 Calories burned/Out. 14,246 Steps which I worked hard for during this trip. 6.03 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my fitbit overnight but clock shows nearly 7 hours of sleep! I never EVER get that much sleep at home. I guess it really does show how much my sleep is interrupted/impacted by the cabin rentals & guests I have on my property. Keeps me up late at night, yet up earlier than I need. Yikes…… I managed to get in a 23 minute walk. Happy hump day everyone!
03/21 ….. ….. Travel-no scale. Will log & post as able. Fitbit info for yesterday: 2061 Calories Out. 7,275 Total Steps. 3.08 Miles. IF 12:12. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 18 minutes. No exercise yesterday so I made up for it today with a long walk. On the road again tomorrow & heading home. Had my days mixed up, pot luck would have been tonight so I guess I missed it. I am packing healthy low carb snacks for the road tomorrow to minimize the damage. I will try to make decent choices at any restaurants & carry some water in the car.
03/22 ….. ….. Daytime travel home today. Oh my! Managed a long walk yesterday but I miss my dancing! I will be home by this evening. Yesterday’s Fitbit stats: Too many calories & carbs to list but I did better than the day before for sure! Much better choices but the portions were a little large. 2559 Calories Out. 15,441 Total Steps & 6.54 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. IF 12:12. I slept 7 hours & 42 minutes people! Wow, what happens when my sleep is not constantly disrupted by my work at home! I walked for 1 hour & 19 minutes moderately paced which helped offset the dinner I had. Had lots of R & R but it will be nice to be home.
03/23 ….. ….. Final round weigh in. What is the total damage? Covering my eyes when I hit that scale!

Ready to cement these life changes.
HW (age 14) - 175 lb
SW Jan 2015 - 165 lb
lost down to 130 then gained back to 140 and within the last 8 months slipped back into bad habits
SW Jan 2019 - 147.5 lb
GW - 135 lb
R67 EW = 141 lb; ∆ = -2.2 lb
R68 EW = 138.2 lb; ∆ = -2.8 lb
R69 EW = 135 lb; ∆ = -3.2 lb
R70 EW = 134.8 lb; ∆ = -0.2 lb
Goal is to get my weight trend app to reach my goal weight 135, so I will also be reporting my trend
Day/Weight/Comment
03/13 134.8 t = 136.5
03/14 135.8 (up 1 lb) t = 136.3
Had a lot of salt yesterday, and I woke up super sore today. It's going to be a struggle to get my steps in.
03/15 134.8 t = 136.1
I think I dropped my water weight! Just in time for the weekend shenanigans 😁 I probably won't be weighing until Monday, but I'll keep you posted. I have a date tonight and tomorrow I'm going into San Francisco for my friend's birthday and some dancing. I'll be back late Sunday but probably too late to weigh, so I'll weigh on Monday.
03/16 DNW
03/17 DNW
03/18 137.3 (up 2.4 lbs) t = 137.2
This was my first time in months not worrying about what I was eating. I didn't even track along at each meal but instead did it at the end of the day. But this was a good lesson for me to learn while I have the accountability of all of you. That the sooner I get back on the horse (the horse being the scale and calorie counting) the easier it is to take off the couple pounds I put on. I had so much fun enjoying food and not worrying. So I think as long as it's only one or two days, and I'm at my goal weight, I'm going to let these instances happen.
03/19 135.4 t = 137
Darn my trend sure isn't budging. The line is still going up. I don't know of it'll ever reach my goal weight. And my new fitbit already started acting funny. It no longer wants to connect to the app so I don't have any updates ugh. I'm gonna have to call today. Have any of you ever had this problem? I have a flex 2.
03/20 135.4 t = 136.8
Started a new job yesterday and it went great. Haven't been keeping up with my cardio so my goal for today is to walk/jog a 5K.
03/21 134.2 t = 136.4 happy about this drop, but I still need to improve my water and cardio. Didn't end up doing the 5k yesterday, but I did do a nice long walk to get my nails done.
03/22 133.6 t = 136 only one more day of this round. I really wanted to make my goal of t = 135 but I don't think it's going to happen ugh. Now that I'm a few lbs past my GW I need to set my maintenance range. I already think I am at the low end of what I'm comfortable with so I want to stop losing weight, but at the same time I still want my dang trend line to reach 135. I am so dang stubborn some times. I think I am going to finish out this round in a deficit and wherever I end up that will be that. My other idea is to readjust my goal to t = 135.5 because that would give me a maintenance range of 133-138. 🤷

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 - NW - Getting ready to head out to the Y to workout. Already ate breakfast and took morning meds. Gotta catch the bus to get there. Will probably do more walking later to get all my steps in.
03/15 - 298.4 - NC - Yesterday I did the treadmill for 30 mins, bike for 30, and then hand weights. I won't be going to the gym today as I am fasting due it to it being Friday and Lent. I'll stop my fast for dinner due to medication which will put it at about 24 hours since I last ate anyways. I see my dietitian today, and I think I am going to skip out on Transitions today. I just don't feel like it. Thinking about it makes me anxious. My CSS may be disappointed, but oh, wells.
03/16 - NW - Yesterday was a rest day for me. The first in about in a month. Today I went to the Y, used the treadmill for about 32 minutes, NuStep 20 minutes and hand weights. Food is on point for the day. Going to just relax for the rest of the day.
03/17 - 295.0 - I'm glad to see the scale unstuck and moving again. I am not sure if I am going to the gym today or just walking around the community room or possibly, outside. I'm running out of lettuce and tomatoes, so...I might make a trip to the store, I might not. We'll see how the math goes with what I have for groceries for the rest of the week until the 26th. I've got some math to do.
03/18 - NW - I did a lot of cleaning yesterday and more to do today to finish off. I will be doing my walking around the community room as there's not enough time to go to the gym with the appointments that I have today without skipping meals and pills, and I can't do that. Having met my goal of 299 my next goal is going to be 275. My baby, my cat, is staring at me as I type this. I think he's trying to telepathically tell me that his bowl is low on food. So, today I'm going to the library. I'll probably walk around there some as it's a big place, and I don't have my hooking (crocheting) materials right now.
03/19 - 293.8 - I did not get my walking in yesterday. I fell asleep in the evening. I have worked on straightening up my apartment the last couple of days I have taken out four bags of trash and two carts of boxes and misc items that were broken but too big for a trash bags. I feel much better in cleaner and more organized space. I plan to attempt to walk later today after my aide leaves.
03/20 - NW - Did Mallwalking today. I walked for an hour and managed to walk about a 5K, I didn't make it to the gym due to the time I got back and had to meet with my CSS and eat. I'm not going to skip meals just to go to the gym.
03/21 - NW - Fell asleep in my chair and stumbled into bed last night forgetting to take my night meds. I didn't want to wake up this morning. I got up and went to a Nutrition 101 class and learned about coconut oil. I then went to the dentist. After lunch I went out for a walk in the park instead of the gym due to the beautiful weather. I walked for an hour and 2.5 miles. It was wonderful. The park behind my building has paved trails, not many, but enough you can kinda take different routes around the park. I came in and walked a flight a stairs before going to my apartment.
03/22 - NW - I totally blanked and forgot to weigh this morning. Since I forgot that it was Friday for awhile, I ate breakfast instead of fasting. I am fasting now until evening instead of the rest of the day because I have to my evening meds with at least 350 calories of food. I am considering skipping my evening snack, but it is also only 90 calories, so not fully decided yet. I am, after dinner, going to walk around the community room for awhile. Tomorrow off to the gym!

DAY - WEIGHT - COMMENT
03/14 - 79,3 kg - starting off strong but this might be because my stomach was upset and I *TMI* had to run to the bathroom multiple times last night
we'll see what tomorrow says! Also because I've been under 80kg for 3 days now I'm gonna say I succeeded at my first mini goal!
03/15 - 78,9 kg - okay I guess yesterday was still semi-representative! happy about this. also stopped myself from binging yesterday night so that's good!
03/16 - 78,9 kg - didn't expect a drop from yesterday because I already had been dropping quite a lot quite fast the past couple of days. tonight will be difficult because i'm eating out fast food with some friends, so reminder to myself: don't beat yourself up if there's a gain tomorrow morning haha.
03/17 - 79,4 kg - breathe and move on.
03/18 - 78,8 kg - there we go, back to normal! don't know if my goal this round is possible but we'll just keep doing our thing!
03/19 - 78,2 kg - whoosh!
03/20 - 78,1 kg - /
03/21 - 78,0 kg - will we get under 78 this round? only 2 days left...
03/22 - 77,8 kg - I'm honestly really proud of my progress the past couple of weeks. Sometimes I wish the weight went faster but I didn't gain it all in 2 months so I should not expect to lose it all in that time period. Slow and steady (and healthy~) wins the race. Final day of this round tomorrow! Might see a little gain from this, but that's okay!

Changing scale and location so expect a diff in readings. Will stay here to be consistent. Really want to see GW2.

03/15 - 94.7 First time meeting mini GW2!! Will wait to see if it sticks before putting a checkmark.
03/16 - 95.2 wine cheese and carbs. That was yesterday's desert. Will try to behave.

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.

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
22/03 - 149.80 up 0.50lb - food was all good yesterday calorie wise but carb heavy (some rice at lunch and a home made burger in a bun in the evening). HiiT session at the gym last night which i enjoyed. Drank plenty so hoping just a blip. One more weigh in this round - please let me finish under 150 .......

@jlbtnc Losing 15# in your first 3 rounds is incredible. Give your body a chance to figure out what’s going on. Stick to it, you will continue losing if you are patient.
@quiltingjaine Yes you are right, I am a scale junkie and in the past would have left this derail me. I have to see it in the numbers. I know NSV are just as important, but I have to see the numbers go down. I am OK with it right now and will have to let it work itself out. I am moving a lot more, so maybe this is the reason also.
