Round 71 Goal: Lose 5 lb this round.
03/14- ?
03/15- 211.0 lb
03/16- 209.9 lb
03/17- 209.0 lb
03/18- 209.4 lb My St. Patrick's Day pub crawl caused the 0.4 lb gain. Back-on-track, today!
03/19- 209.2 lb Social drinking, again, erased most of my efforts from yesterday. Time to eradicate it!
03/20- 208.3 lb Back on track!
03/21- 207.2 lb Expected larger loss, but water retention (high sodium intake, yesterday) probably the culprit.
03/22- 208.3 lb Alcohol + overeating got the best of me, yesterday. Damage control, today.
03/23- 208.8 lb
On Day #8, I had my weight loss goal in clear sight (only 1.2 lb left), but overeating and booze sunk me. I didn't lose the 5 lb that I wanted to lose, but I did lose 2.2 lb. I'm coming back for Round 72, but I'm leaving the booze BEHIND! Onward and downward. See ye on Round 72!!! 14 -
Round 69: ↓ -1.6 lb
Round 70: ↓ -2.2 lb
Round 71: SW 188.0 lb
Goal for the challenge: hit my water goal of 88+ oz a day. (10/10) setting intention to do it!

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.
03/22 - 148.8
That's better.
03/23 - 148.8
Pretty good day yesterday, although I got really hungry and ate more nuts than I should have. But not sugar or junk! See you at R72. Have a good weekend, all!

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.

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.

03/18 137.3 (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. 🤷
03/23 133.6 t = 135.7 Super happy with this! My trend line finally started having a negative slope after 5 days of a positive slope, it finally says a date at which it will reach my goal weight again1

Lost down to 180 doing lazy keto last spring, but the summer vacations came and then the holidays
and I put all of the weight back on. I am going to be consistant with tracking my food...good or bad...and
get healthier this year.

03/14. 189.0. On track with calories and water. Must start to work on increasing exercise.
03/15. 188.8.
03/16. 188.8. The same,. Hoping to maintain at least this weekend.
03/17. 189.2. Weekend bump, and still have family dinner today! We are having Shepherd’S pie for dinner. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all.
03/18. 189.4. Small gain over weekend, and stayed in the 180s, which I consider a win! Now to get back to basics again.
03/19. 188.4.
03/20. 187.4. This is the low I hit in the last round: hopefully I keep it this time
03/21. 186.6. Keeping my fingers crossed! Am on track with food and water.
03/22. 187.0. Ok no reason for the increase, hoping it’s hidden salt. Do not need a no-reason gain just before the weekend, when I will have reasons-gains, haha
03/23 186.4. Happy to be ending with a good note!9 -
I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.
I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

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.
03/23 155.4 My final weigh-in for this round, and I'm down 2.4 from my starting weight! Yesterday I exercised but didn't eat super healthy other than a salad. However, I stayed within my calories and hit my macros better than usual, so the lesson for me is the "perfect" day doesn't exist, nor does it need to in order to make progress. The MFP calculator is proving accurate so far, as I've set it to 1.5 lbs weekly and lost 2.4 in about a week and a half on this challenge (only .15 more than it calculates).
For the first time in my life, I think I'm going to let patience and persistence win over impatience and defeat. This is going to happen slooowly, but it's going to happen!
Total R71 loss: 2.4 lbs

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (Was my Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!
Goal this round-159-hopefully! I got down to 162 last round.
3/14-166- I upped my walking miles yesterday, it made me super hungry, I made tomato/feta soup and forgot to be drinking water....
3/15-163- It was so nice here yesterday, I went for a big walk in the morning and then a short one after dinner-that helps.
3/16-No Scale
3/17-No Scale
3/18-167-Long hours traveling to a funeral.It was great to see family. It was nice to pick anything out I wanted to wear, because now, everything fits.
3/19-165-Back to walking a couple of times a day-the dogs love it and we have another warm day before it rains tomorrow.
3/20-163-I am getting back down to where I was after all of the “fun” binge eating I did on the 16th & 17th. It sure takes work to get back into the swing of things. I upped my walking to 7 miles.
3/21-163-I am happy with that, after nasty weather yesterday; instead of walking, I stayed in and sewed and made clam chowder. Today, I should be able to get a good long walk in. My husband started walking a mile or so with me before he goes to work and and that is nice. We also have been walking a mile after dinner since the days are longer; we sleep better too.
3/22-166-I walked 7 miles in the morning, but ate heavy, salty food, and no evening walk. Tonight we eat out, hopefully I’ll
do OK.
3/23-162-It took me all of this round to gat back down there. I leave tomorrow to go to a week long quilting class and I am not going to take my scale with me, but my friend I’m going with is active and doesn’t eat crap and I should be OK...packed my sewing machine and bike helmet!😂
It’s wonderful to have ALL of you here!☕️🌸10 -

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.
3/23 128.0 Ate Cici’s pizza in a bowl and salad, 3” square of cheesy bread. Lots of steps at the airport and on The Strip with Jamie. 9,969 steps!8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
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 today 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 yesterday for sure! 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 it is not constantly disrupted! 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 …..189.6 ….. Final round weigh in. What is the total damage? Covering my eyes when I hit that scale! The travel for last half of this round did me in! Traveling home yesterday I chose breakfast for lunch which kept my carbs low. Once home I ate keto friendly dinner & took a short walk. Yesterdays stats: 1343 Calories In/ 2235 Calories Out. 11,528 Total Steps & 4.48 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours during travel day. Once home I slept 4 hours & 12 minutes last night. Back to the old sleeping patterns so soon! I took a 27 minute walk. Sadly a gain this round due to all the traveling & lack of movement. Next round I will Rock It! Great Job Everyone.

🌷🍀Day/Weight/Comment🍀🌷
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. 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.
03/22 175 Posting late today! I'm so glad it's Friday! We ate dinner later than usual last night and I took a short walk before going out to dinner. We had a really nice visit and super yummy food! I'm ready for my normal routine today. Have a great day everyone!
03/23 174.6 Hello weekend! I’m thinking I’ll get a workout in today and keep on track!7 -
I am in again. Let's make this round count!
03/14 167.4
03/15 167.2 .. If I can hold here (or less would be great) through the weekend. Happy Friday Everyone!
03/16 167.0 With a few sips of coffee.
03/17 167.7
03/18 168.5 Monday, Monday.. back at it.
03/19 167.8
03/20 167.4 Chipping my way back down.
03/21 166.7 Lowest this round.
03/22 167.0 I know my lack of water.
03/23 167.18 -
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.
03/23 - 349 And a woosh for a nice end of round loss.
RL -3.8 For all my stress this round I ended with a little more loss than normal. Lesson very much learned.9 -

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!
03/23 - 151.8 up a bit. Not to worried, didn’t eat dinner till about 8 last night and then went to bed at 9. My allergies were killing me and I had a horrible headache. Ate right so I think all the allergy meds I am on is probably making me retain water and I’m sure eating late wasn’t helpful. So ended this round about a pound down, but also my 10 day average was down another pound and I had quite a few days in the 150’s. So round 71 was a good round for me and I’m ready for round 72. See everyone there!8 -
