03/25 …..188.8 ….. [/color=limegreenStats for yesterday: 1061 Calories In / 2692 calories out. 53 Net Carbs. 12,612 Total Steps & 5.34 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 14 minutes & woke up refreshed. Thanks for the inspiration you all have given me this morning as I fast & enjoy my morning black coffee. One foot in front of the other, I can do this again today. Thanks guys!
03/26 …..187.6 ….. Yesterdays stats: 1031 Calories In / 3077 Calories Out. 8 Net Carbs. 22,130 Total Steps & 9.38 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 15 minutes & woke up refreshed. I exercised myself nearly to death yesterday (for an old lady, that is!) I walked for 115 minutes inside the school I also danced for 43 minutes. Sample song was “Shooting Star” by Bad Company.
03/27 …..187.6 …..
Yesterdays stats: 2168 Calories In / 2790 Calories Out. 92 Net Carbs. 11,393 Total Steps & 4.82 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 58 minutes .
03/28 …..187.6 ….. I’ve finished reading all the posts from yesterday & realized there was something in the air that caused all the LNS, cravings & especially the bingeing last night. I, too, was overcome by this mysterious fog that enveloped so many. I had a great hardworking day at my DD’s helping her again. Plenty of calorie burn & steps. I stuck to my eating plan perfectly. Then the fog rolled in last night while I was in bed watching TV. Why did I buy that Easter candy so soon? Sale? Well, it wasn’t worth it. Mini kit kats, kisses & reece cups took over my life for a few minutes there. I was SHOCKED to see the scale read the same this morning. Either I will see it in a day or two show up on that scale or I have been given yet another chance to prove myself. 1928 Calories In/ 2995 Calories Out. 143 Net Carbs. (OMgosh). 15,282 Total Steps & 6.47 Total Miles. IF 12:12 . Fitbit Step Hours 13/13. I slept 6 hours & 22 minutes (probably in a sugar crash). I danced for 20 minutes. Sample song “Flat bottom girls” by Queen. I hate posting when I have disappointed myself, but I’m only going to succeed if I continue tracking, logging, weighing & keeping myself honest & accountable. This challenge is one of my weapons & one of the most important tools in my toolbox. I hope to have a much better night tonight.
03/29 …..188.1 ….. That LNS from the 28th finally showing up on the scale. Tons of movement yesterday or it may have been worse. Today my DGS’s invited me out to lunch, their treat, so I will likely be over carbs but will watch my calories carefully. But when I do eat out I do know what to expect including bloating & water retention. They are in 5th grade & 6th grade and have never taken me to lunch before so they are feeling like charming gentlemen & I look forward to it. Late afternoon I have a salon appt. for haircut so a little more sitting will be had overall today. Then my DD will be coming over for some girly stuff. She is going to start selling Mary Kay & wants to show me some things. All in all, busy day planned & so I won’t be able to walk at the school today but fun with family is always fantastic. Yesterday’s stats: 1538 Calories In/2764 Calories Out. 32 Net Carbs. 20,103 Total Steps & 8.58 Total Miles. IF 12:12 . 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 15 minutes but needed more. Tired today. I walked 79 Minutes inside the school & I danced for 41 minutes in 2 sets. Sample song “Soul Man” by the Blues Brothers.
03/30 …..189.6 ….. I enjoyed the lunch with my DGS’s a little too much I think. Then dessert last night. Ugg. Back to square one & working on the bloat already today that I feel. Too many calories & carbs to count or admit to. I almost held my hands over my eyes on the scale but decided to look. My fitbit info for yesterday is as follows: 2175 Calories Out. 8180 Total Steps & 3.46 Miles. IF 12:12. Got in 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours (all but the hour I sat in the Salon Chair during appointment). Not sure on sleep as I charged my fitbit last night, but it was between 5 & 6 hours. My hairdresser has found a new bald spot in the back of my head & my hairline has receded even more. She desperately wants to get answers but I am working with my dr & a dermatologist and nothing is helping. I’ve got to keep working on my protein intake.
03/31 …..189.6 ….. A rather sedentary day & movie night at home with my son. 1781 Calories In / 2358 Calories Out. 10,170 Total Steps & 4.45 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 27 minutes which is fantastic for me. I used elliptical trainer for 21 minutes. Just a so-so movie on a so-so- day. Happy Sunday everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 No Scale
03/25 187.4 pretty lame. Still working on tweaking my calories a bit lower but definitely overdid it on the weekend. Trying to find my mojo and get back in the game.. I basically feel like I have 5 good days, see a loss, then just gain hit right back every week! On the plus side the gym has been going really well and I feel like I can see some changes in my body there so at least that is going well.
03/26 186.8 Down one lb.. at least we are headed in the right direction! Yoga today. Walked with a friend after dinner yesterday and today for some gentle cardio.
03/27 186.6
03/28 185.8 Another lb of water weight gone. Planning my meals for the day. Good lifting session yesterday.
03/29 185.4 little bit at a time. Good lifting today, I ate at maintenance yesterday and I can really tell a difference when I'm fully fueled up. Problem is that I've been craving carbs today.. even when i stay under calories I puff up if I eat too many. Have a couple of beers allowed for today since it's friday evening! Hope the scale isn't too bad tomorrow.
03/30 184.4 yay I'm excited to see this number on the scale again. now if I don't have to see the higher ones EVER again that would be great. Plan for today, Yoga and walking. Planning my food out for the day before I leave the house.
03/31 187.0 wow back where i started. We went out for dinner and although I stayed at maintenence calories for the day, obviously the salt was an issue. Weekends have been sabotaging the scale even though I am not "overdoing" it by the numbers! Drinking water, yoga today, and walking.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/24 - 174.8 (FR) - 44g carbs, 36g net carbs. Carbs were: CRACKERS!, dill pickle, olives, celery in tuna, peanut butter, eggs. Yesterday was my last day of the 2 week 12/12 IF protocol. I will do it again if I think it's necessary, but only for one week. Week 1, I was definitely hungry at the end of the 12 hr fast. Week 2, I did not feel hungry until the 15th hour. My body was beginning to reset itself to my normal 18 to 20 hours of fasting.
3/25 - 173.8 - 29g carbs, 23g net carbs. Carbs were: eggs, strawberries, cabbage, cashews. My body is tired from my workout yesterday, but my weak lower body muscles are getting stronger. I've also been stretching my very tight IT band every day throughout the day to improve my knee. It's helping. I need my muscle roller massage stick today!
3/26 - 173.8 - 38g carbs, 29g net carbs. Carbs were: cabbage, peanut butter, celery in tuna, grape tomatoes, jalapenos, monk fruit sweetener (has carbs, but all fiber, no calories and no effect on blood sugar 😦??? O-kaaay) Keto friendly, resembles sugar, no aftertaste that I detect. I need to use it, bought it a year ago. The one I have is mixed with erythritol. It's 200-300 times sweeter than sugar, so why the mix? Probably, to stretch it, since monk fruit is very expensive and erythritol also has a couple of similar properties. I do have syrups and a greens food powder sweetened with only monk fruit. Very good, so good that it masks the taste of wheat grass powder which is quite nasty. Monk Fruit Sweetener
3/27 - 176 ⬅abs workout ☺ - 87g carbs, 74g net carbs. Carbs were: fried chicken, salad, cabbage, nuts. I was out all day, tired and hungry. Purchased a small snack bag of nuts, pumpkin seeds and dried fruit bits. 560 calories of really not much dried fruit or pepitas, mostly peanuts. The carb count not okay, but the calories balances the past week. I've been leaving a lot of calories behind and I don't like doing that. Did not take vitamins yesterday. It was bedtime when I thought of them. I need a lot of water to swallow pills, did not want to be running to the bathroom all night.
3/28 - 175.2 - 45g carbs, 39g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, coating on fried chicken, peanut butter, lemon juice, salad dressing.
3/29 - 174.6 - 29g carbs, 24g net carbs. Carbs were: green beans, broccoli, salad, fried chicken, lemon juice. Abs swelling finally coming down! Just in time for another abs workout😅
3/30 - 175.8 - 22g carbs, 17g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, salad dressing, guacamole, ingredients in turkey burger, peanut butter, turkey pepperoni, egg. It's going to be a lot of back and forth with my weight until my body adjusts to my exercise. All muscles are firing! Feels good to get back to it on a consistent basis, been a long time.
3/31 - 174.6 - 59g carbs, 54g net carbs. Carbs were: guacamole, peanut butter, 😒 cookies.

03/24--213.4 Not sure why the jump on the scale. I ran my 5k this morning!
It was a lot better than I thought it would be since during my c25k training I had only ran at most 3.0km. Now I need to get ready to start my training for a 10k in June. After the 5k I had plan to rest/relax for the rest of the day, but I will go out for a walk later this afternoon to help with any soreness. I have a massage booked for Tuesday, so that should help with any residual soreness.
03/25--214.2 Jump due to soreness from the 5k. I plan on relaxing today. Trainer tomorrow.
03/26--212.5 I knew there would be a drop on the scale when I woke up this morning and didn't feel sore anymore. Tonight is the trainer and then a massage.
03/27--212.0 After talking to my nutritionist we decided that hard cheese would be the next food I would incorporate into my diet to test my sensitivity to it. Well, on Sunday I had hard cheese with all of my meals and then yesterday I could tell that something wasn't right with my stomach when I felt bloated for most of the day and did not have my regular BM. So, hard cheese is out. Ugh!
Yoga tonight.
03/28--212.5
03/29--211.2 I forgot to check in yesterday. Had a hard workout with the trainer yesterday and he is so impressed in how much stronger I am getting. Plan is to go for a run tonight and start training for my 10k in June, but it may start raining later and I hate running on treadmill, so we'll see.
03/30--211.5 Went for a 2 mile run today with the dog...it was great. I usually go to the gym on Saturday, but I didn't want to get up early to get to the gym before it gets busy, so I went for a run instead and will go to the gym tomorrow morning. Going out with hubby later to buy new running shoes. Plan is to do some decluttering today.
03/31--210.7 Went to the gym and did my weightlfting. Going out for a long walk with the dog later today and will do somemore decluttering.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 - No Scale (driving back from Vegas today without a weigh in this morning. I went to bed last night (or this morning) at 445am and I’m exhausted! Friday and Saturday I walked 25000 steps EACH day and I’m not sure how I still have feet! I count those two days as active so I hope the scale isn’t too bad tomorrow morning with all the food I had.)
03/25 - 200.6 (I'm happy I only gained a whole pound during my weekend away, which is a first for me. I usually gain around 5 pounds! All that walking truly helped. Last night I took naps and relaxed so I'm able to wake up to go to work so I did not do a workout. I had some Mandarin chicken, rice and broccoli for dinner last night.)
03/26 -199.4 (I officially lost all the weight I gained from my weekend getaway and it only took a day
Last night I did a 20 minute elliptical HIIT workout. I was supposed to do a core workout last night too, but I was too busy grocery shopping, making dinner and helping the hubby study for his macroeconomics test that's due this week. I made some Philly cheesesteak pitas with chips for dinner last night!)
03/27 - 198.6 (The scale is going in the right direction! I've been having issues with a canker sore that has really been painful and difficult to eat. I stayed on target last night with my calories even though I really didn't want to eat since it's the side that I usually put food at. It really is difficult to eat on the other side! I made pasta with sauce and a poppyseed chicken casserole. I also did a 45 minute elliptical workout. It was difficult to push through yesterday!)
03/28 -198.2 (I had a great day yesterday! Ate on my plan and had some relaxation for the middle of the week. I did a core workout that I was supposed to do on Monday and had dinner ready in the crockpot. I made some chicken tacos with black beans. I'm hoping tomorrow I can make my goal since I'm so close!)
03/29 - 197.0 (TGIF!! Amirite?!?
I made my goal!!! My Happy Scale finally looked happy and I am so excited to get going on my next goal! Usually I weigh less every Friday so I hope I still have a lower weight on Tuesday, which may be an issue from weekend weight gain. We'll see how it goes! Last night, I was stuck in the middle of the high desert in SoCal coming home from work because of a huge accident that blocked the road. I didn't have time to make the dinner I had planned. My hubby went to Subway and got me a sandwich and I shortened my workout from 45 minutes to 20. At least I got something in!)
03/30 - 197.0 (I ate so much last night on date night with the hubby, but I planned it out! Half a burger and fries, chips and salsa and half dessert. I opted for water so I don’t drink my calories too. No workout last night since I was exhausted from a long week. I’m so happy seeing this number again!)
03/31 -199.0 (I went to a LA Dodgers game last night (Woohoo for that win!) and I had quite a few treats last night, but all planned and did a 30 minute strength training workout during the day. I had an unplanned glass of wine last night with my girlfriends since one of their moms passed away yesterday morning...it's not an easy thing for a 25 year old to go through. I'm still at a deficit which is good! It's almost the end of the challenge, so I hope it ends up being a great result!)

Round 70 (R1): SW:204.4 EW: 200.7 (-3.7)
Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 200.7 for the 4th day in a row… I suppose I should be happy since dinner the last two nights has been an over indulgence!
03/25 200.7 – Still holding here…
03/26 200.7
03/27 200.7 – I’m starting to think my scale is broken. I haven’t been great at tracking the last few days…
03/28 200.7 – Yep. At this point I’d be happy if the scale moved either way so I know it’s not broken lol.
03/29 202.8 – Well not broken lol. I had way too much Thai food yesterday at lunch and just overall have not been great working out or tracking stuff.
03/30 200.8
03/31 200.8 – Didn’t get to post yesterday, but glad I didn’t spend a week at 202 lol. Not been great with water this weekend. Also managed to pull/pinch something at the base of my neck/between my shoulder blades so didn’t work out today… has been like this all day so tomorrow not looking great either.

Day Weight Comment
03/24 - 150.9 so no whoosh yet. We have our weekly family meal today so hoping for the best tomorrow. Holding steady so far through the weekend. Come on 149 something!
03/25 - 153.6 and there is my Sunday family dinner gain! 2.7 pounds, uuugggh. My husband decided he was going to grill some t-bones last night and they were amazing. We also had grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes with it. Then I decided I needed a couple of mini butterfingers. So the weight is well deserved, I am assuming mostly carbs and food still in my stomach. Anytime I eat steak it stays with me for a couple of days. Had a great Sunday though and back to eating clean today. Looking for that 149 sometime this round.
03/26 - 152.1 Got to love sodium and carbs. Should be back down tomorrow and back on track for a loss by Friday. Have all my meals planned for today and should stay under calories again. Pushing to see that 149 this week!
03/27 - 151.1 am almost back to my starting weight for the round. I was only a couple of ounces away from where I was. The scale flashed 150.7 and then stuck on 151.1. I got off and on a couple of times to try and make 150.7 stick, but it didn't, so I will have to settle for this, lol. Still not feeling 100%, allergies are killing me and now I have no voice. So just trying to drink my water and tea and get through the day. I have a roast in the crock pot for dinner tonight, so that should make tonight easier and I can get some rest.
03/28 - 152.1 no idea why it's up. Ate under calories yesterday and didn't have any late night snacking. Ate a little bit of roast for dinner and a big salad for my side. No mashed potatoes, roll or dessert. Woke up with a really dry mouth this morning, so maybe I am just dehydrated from allergy pills. Going to try and drink more water today and see what the scale says tomorrow. I see another 10 day round of floating around 150-152. Not giving up, but 149 may be in the next round. I think my body is anti-weighing under 150, lol.
03/29 - 150.1 Yesterday I was completely over trying to lose weight. I have been working so hard to get into the 140's it has taken over my life. I was beyond frustrated and was thinking about taking a break from this whole thing. I actually ate about 2 handfuls of cheese combos and had 2 beers when I got home from work. Then I snapped myself back into reality and had a salad for dinner instead of the chicken fried chicken that I had planned on having. I think I have figured out my spikes are due to red meat (steak, brisket, roast)n and eating after 7:00. I know it's great for iron and protein, but I think it stays in my stomach longer than chicken or hamburger meat for some reason. So I am avoiding it for the next week or 2 and see if that is what causes the crazy 2 or 3 pound spikes. I always lose the weight right away, but it really messes up my 10 day and 5 day averages. This morning I got on the scale when I first woke up and it said 150.0, after my shower and stuff it said 150.1. Not really much of a difference, still not 149, so I'm sticking with the 150.1. Staying on track today so far and waiting to see what the next 4 days bring me.
03/30 - 151.9 uugghh. Maybe it’s from dinner out last night. I was not expecting the uptick to be honest. I picked the chicken fajitas and ate a ton of the veggies. Only had half a tortilla and mostly stayed away from the rice and beans. I did cave and have a margarita, so maybe it’s from that. Hopefully I will be back down tomorrow. This is the longest and most frustrating plateau I have ever had. I think I am going on 3 weeks of floating around 150 or 151. Today I have to help my oldest move out and into his first place with his girlfriend. They found a really cute condo, but it is just crazy that I have a child old enough to move into his own condo and in with a girl. I really like her and she is good for him, I just worry about them being so young. Lol, they are both only 20 years old, so hopefully they don’t make me a grandmother anytime soon. I am not ready for all of that! On track to get a lot done today and within calories.
03/31 - 152.6 I have no answers anymore. I’m have been eating way under calories for the last couple of weeks. I have tried to stay away from all bread, potatoes, sugar, alcohol, and now I’m cutting out red meat. I have a margarita Friday night and gain almost 2 pounds. Yesterday I moved so much stuff and never stopped. Ate 1 piece of pizza and a piece of cheesy bread. The rest of the day I was on track, gained almost another whole pound this morning. I guess we will see what happens tomorrow. I just have to laugh at this point because there is absolutely nothing else I can do to get out of the 150’s.

03/27 153.9 today will be my third day in a row of spinning class. I haven’t noticed any difference on scale yet, so hoping that will come soon. March has been difficult because I had a ton of work and social functions so really looking forward to a April when life calms down a bit.
03/28 152.8 new lowest weight! I couldn’t believe seeing this number on the scale, but checked twice to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. Just .2 lbs away from 20 lbs total weight loss from when I started and solidly in size 12 clothing. I tried on my dresses yesterday and will be able to donate the size 16 (around 5 dresses, which felt good). I also just moved out of 29 BMI to a 28 number, so one number closer to 24.9
03/29 153.1
03/30 153.3 yesterday I had migraine, but today I’m feeling much better and planning to be active outside
03/31 153.2 slept over 12 hours yesterday. I didn’t know how much my body needed it! Felt so much more refreshed this morning. Excited for April tomorrow!

03/24 347.4. I’m a little surprised at this woosh, I’ll see if it stays. I’m certain tom is starting sometime soon and I usually see a little upswing then, but hopefully I’ll still be solidly in the 340s. My nsv yesterday was staying in calorie goal despite feeling hungry a portion of the day.
03/25 347.8 Not unexpected I had a higher sodium day yesterday and I’m not sure that I got in all my water. I have both a sick kid and a kid who fell skateboarding, she’s okay just bruised, so yesterday was a little rough and it will be a rough day today. My nsv yesterday was not having any of the snacks that my husband picked up to deal with his stress.
03/26 347.2 Looks like I’m really in the 340’s, at least for now. I’ve not only reached my goal for this month, but if this trend continues I’ll be several pounds under where I had hoped to be. My nsv was not having a single bit of the high calorie snacks that my husband got.
03/27 347.8 I’m not surprised by a little gain I took a couple of longer walks yesterday. Both were further than I normally walk, the second one was nearly double the first. I’m feeling those walks this morning so I’m certain that it’s all water and I’ll see my usual pound drop after a bounce around in a day or two. My nsv yesterday were the walks outside, I’m really proud of myself for getting out and doing them.
03/28. 348 Tom should be here soon, I’ve been feeling cramps since last night. I expect once that’s over I’ll see some drops.
03/29. 348.4 I was over calories, over sodium and under on my water intake, it could have been worse.
03/30. 347 Tom finally arrived this morning, as did a nice down swing. I didn’t feel well yesterday and I was under calories by a bit, but since that doesn’t happen often and the day before was high I didn’t bother trying to eat more. I figured listening to my body was better than forcing myself to eat. I’m feeling better today so today should be normal calorie wise.

03/24 173.4 We’re going to do church this morning, then do family pictures and possibly going out to eat after. It’s going to be a great day!
03/25 174.8 Yesterday was a pretty good day. Even if the morning was jam packed. I did manage to squeeze in a short cardio workout. We did go out to eat after pictures so I'm guessing that's what this little bump back up is about. My son says "We're eating out again!? Why can't we just eat at home?" It made me laugh! We don't eat out often and we've managed to do it three times in one week. And it made me feel kind of good that he'd rather eat at home. 😊
03/26 174.6
03/27 175.2 Hmm weight is creeping up. I ate a little higher sodium yesterday. But drank lots of water. Also got in a short walk.
03/28 173.4 This past week/month at work has been nuts! Can flu season be over already? I did get in an upper body Fitness Blender workout after work and really focused on relaxing.
03/29 172.6 A new low! To be honest I was a little surprised. I’ve been within calories, but work has been stressful. And sometimes when I’m stressed I hold water.
Hubby has been out of town this past week but he’s going to be back tonight! It’ll be so nice to have him back! 🙂
03/30 172.6 Stayed the same and I'm cool with that!

03/24 208#. I need to work more on drinking enough water. Is it your weight ÷ 2= ?? Ounces/day? I'm 5.4# away from my lowest weight. Today is day 23 of logging my food. I have officially beat my hubby! I'd he doesn't watch it, I'll pass him on this weight loss stuff. LOL! I did over stuff myself at supper. Homemade pizza. It was so good! Not feeling so good now. 3,808 steps. 124 oz water. 1,325 calories.
03/25 208.4#. My cravings were bad tonight. I went over on my calories. Thank goodness for Zumba! 2,161 calories in pre workout. 9,999 steps.
03/26 210#. I am a bit surprised by this big of a jump.
03/27 208.4#. COMPLETELY blew my calorie intake for today. The last 3 days I have had terrible munchies. Tomorrow I should only eat when my body is truly hungry.
03/28 208.6#. Feeling much better about today than yesterday! Didn't have the cravings today. However I still ate 2 cups of pasta. Keeping the calories well under 2,000 today.
03/29 209#. I'm only down 0.2# for my weekly weight in. Not nearly as good as the last two weeks. I'll take what I can get. I might struggle a bit tomorrow. Eating with extended family.
03/30 206.6#. Whoot whoot! I'm going to try to be better with my water today. I've slack off the last 2 days. Calories in 2,151. Strength training about 12 minutes. I should have skipped the ice cream cake.
03/31 207.2#. And before I knew it, the day was over. I barely ate today. Less than 600 calories. I also was not hungry today. Rode bike for 30 minutes.9 -

GW for this round 153 (151.6 as a woohoo but probably not gonna happen yet goal)
Round 72 (my 2nd) Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 152.6 This makes 5.2 down since I started this challenge, and 2.8 down overnight! Now that's the week 1 whoosh I'd hoped for and never got. I exercised and ate some calories back, had my usual ice cream bar and even three squares of caramel dark chocolate yesterday! I also looked up the calories in my favorite bakery cookies and discovered to my horror that each one has over 500 calories! I used to eat several in the course of a day. Maybe I can have one occasionally on maintenance, but I am so glad I'm not blindly stuffing my face now!
I feel like tracking on MFP has revealed that holy grail of successful weight loss: moderation. I'm finally empowered to enjoy treats in moderation, guilt-free. Other big lessons so far: I must practice patience (this is all gonna go way more slowly than I'd like!), and I can't freak out when the numbers on the scale go up or plateau. It's all part of this nonlinear process.
My original goal weight for this round was 153.8, but I'm lower than that today, so I've revised the goal to be 151.8. That's only 1 lb in the next 10 days, slow and steady.
03/25 154.8 Well, it's to be expected. I may bounce up and down over the next few days. I ended the last round at 155.4, and that's probably closer to the truth. 153 still feels attainable for this round. Focusing on lots of hydration and staying in my calorie range while getting as close to my protein macros as possible.
03/26 155.6. Sigh. Okay. I ate super salty foods yesterday and I know this isn't a true reflection of what's going on. My pants feel looser, at least! My 153 goal for this round seems less likely bu the day, but there are still 7 days left. A lot can happen.
03/27 155.6. All right, as long as I don't gain, this means I'm basically maintaining what I've lost so far. Still down more than 2 lbs, and more importantly, I'm feeling better than I have in a while about my ability to stick with something. I have to admit, knowing I'm posting here every day makes a difference! I clearly need this level of accountability.
03/28 154.8 Yay, moving back down again (even after yesterday's cheeseburger). This weighing every day thing is a real mindjob. Up, down, down, way up, stall... it's so helpful to see others' 10-day logs and notice similar patterns, and so encouraging to see the longer trends of true weight loss for those of you who've been at this for a while. I love that there are a couple of maintainers in this group, too! The struggle doesn't necessarily end, but you get to carry on in a lighter, more fit body. I can deal with that! Okay, 5 MORE DAYS to stay within my calorie limit, drink tons of water, and maybe even fit in some light exercise.
03/29 156. Arggghh...I dunno. I'm staying at or just over/under calories, drinking plenty of water.
03/30 153.8 Well, I couldn't even complete my log yesterday because I was under calories (only managed 900 because I wasn't feeling well). So I'm not celebrating this number because I obviously can't stick with so few calories every day, if that's what it takes. However, it's another accidental data point in this journey: keeping calories variable is perhaps more effective (this includes an occasional bump up in calories, too!).
03/31 154.4 I think I will end up completing this round around this weight, and it's okay. I am feeling pretty good, and I'm only on round 2 of this process. Yesterday I had budgeted for an extra snack that I wasn't hungry for, so I skipped it. This feels like progress.

03/26 - 73.4 kg my diet was ok like 80% clean but still got the gain! Disappointing!
03/27 - 73.1 kg Had a 100% clean diet, did a 30 minutes low impact workout. Happy that my scale moves down
03/28 - 72.8 kg Followed the diet and workout exactly like the before day. Hope this continues!
03/29 - 72.1 kg learnt what are those mistakes that I have been doing so far that doesn't make my weight go down like how I wanted it to be! Commitment, consistency and patience! That's all whats needed!
03/30 - 71.9 kg Happy so far. Hoping to continue the same!.
03/31 - 71.7 kg Happy with today's weight but tomorrow the weight will definitely go up as today is my husband's birthday!

SW: 200 in Jan 2019
GW: below 160, not sure where yet!
GW date: not too worried about this, but at the moment my focus in on tue 9th April when I go on holiday. Had hoped for 180, but will take below 185 and fitter!
This is my first ever one of these and I'm super excited!
Week food is planned. Exercise planned. Now to get it done!
Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 187.4 this morning after an evening off yesterday. Lowest weight last week was 186.8 on Thursday, would love to see that tomorrow morning for my official weekky weigh in.....!
03/25 - 186.8 (-0.6) and, back to my lowest weight so far, would love to see a new low tomorrow!
Yesterday I wasn't perfect with my food but drank lots of water and did 16000 steps including a round of couch to 5 k.
Today, I'm out of the house from 9 to 8.30pm for work.... lunch and snacks are packed, but i don't see how I'll manage 10k steps.... let's see if I can surprise myself!
03/26 - 185.8 (-1) wasn't expecting that after just 5000 steps yest and no time to think about water etc. But, I'm taking it! C25K jog done this morning, shower now when brekkie lunch box and to work for an 11.5 hour day again, I will stay on plan!
03/27 - 185.0 (-0.8) happy happy! Below my low weight of last May now.... And so keen to keep on going! Another 11 hour day at work.... what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, now it's time for coffee!
03/28 - 185.4(+0.4) was always going to happen and little ups are just fine. Going to focus on my water today as Thursday is a bit of a treat night. I don't work Fridays so it is my Friday night! Don't want to ruin my hard work of the beginning of the week though so will try and stay in control! I'd love to be in the 184s for my 'official weigh in next Monday......
03/29 185.6 - yesterday I over ate on a pack of choc covered rice cakes before bed and also had a planned gnt. I'm tired, but today I will hopefully have time to focus on my water and make good choices today.... weekends are my nemesis and because I have split offs mine can end up being Friday to Monday. But, this challenge is going to help me to keep control:) happy Friday everyone!
03/30 - 185.8, slowly creeping the wrong way with only myself to blame! Yesterday I didn't eat enough for brekkie or lunch so then had way too many bad snacks in the aft/Eve. Tonight there will be wine but I'm still hoping I can stay under 186 by some miracle and then start heading down again!
03/31 186.0- I'm happy with that! Now to focus today and for the week!jog done this morning and overnight oats eaten. Today I will be planning for the week and being organised so I can get into 184s and below next week I hope!
04/01 186.4 - meh. Right it's Monday morning, I need to focus again.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 95.5 usual little weekend bounce. Taking a bit of a maintenance weekend to see if I can get rid of this virus! So no running, no spinning and eating a little more than usual. Although I did spend all day yesterday and today in the garden getting ready for growing season. Have all my veggies down now so looking forward to a lovely summer diet of fresh vegetables from the back garden!
03/25 95.0 guess i was working harder in the garden than I thought over the weekend! Back to running this week… I have 12 days left until graduation, out of the 3 dresses the one I want to wear most turns out to be the tightest… typical… so just have to see if I can skim a little bit more off so I can wear it comfortably!
03/26 94.8 nice to be back running again, 11 days until graduation! Also... My bmi is now 29.9.... I'm just plain ol' overweight now! Not obese! Woohoo!
03/27 dnw was up late to get kids to school so had already had breakfast when I remembered I hadn't weighed! Now had the ultimate joy of trying on my dresses, 2 fit but I still feel so frumpy in them! as I've gotten older the excess seems to gather on my tummy, it used to gather on my hips, which gave me a fat *kitten* but I couldn't see it so it was fine (ish) but now I feel like I've got a spare tyre from a bus sitting around my hips and I just hate it as I can see and feel it all day! My husband is zero help as he just tells me to get used to it because it's part of getting old! I don't want the tyre and I will never “just get used to it”!
03/28 94.4 nice little drop! last week to put in the work to drop the last bit for graduation! The graduation is a completely selfish thing, no one else gives a monkeys about it but i spent a long time working hard to earn my masters so I will be selfish on this one!
03/29 dnw mood taking a nosedive so I'm going to just relax a bit this weekend and come back to it once the black cloud lifts! I get very low moods with my period so I know how to deal with it and I know it will pass but it's bloody annoying!
03/30 dnw relax and take it easy, no logging and no weighing!
03/31 dnw mother's day here in Ireland so I'm going to head to the gym today to try to balance the eating of chocolate! i actually meant to weigh but completely forgot! Monday tomorrow, start of a whole new week!
04/01 94.9 nice to see my weight didn't go up too much! Time to get back on track. I'm not going to hit my goal this time but that's ok, as long as I don't go backwards!

03/24 - 206.0 - down a little. Surprised as I didn't have a great day food wise but I suppose I ate little of the bad stuff. And I did manage a run/walk. So happy with that!
03/25 - 206.8 - back to start weight again. Food was ok yesterday. Could have been better. Spent the whole day walking around but more of a stroll than a brisk walk.
03/26 - 207.6 - not good. Not too bad with food but mane too much bread. This is not a good trend.
03/27 - 205.4 - excellent day yesterday. Excellent food wise and I did a yoga class and a very brisk walk. Hope I keep this loss now.
03/28 - 206.6 - food ok but too much of it and not enough exercise because there was no time. Today will be much better!
03/29 - 205.2 - food a bit too much cheese and no exercise just the usual 10,000 steps but nothing else.
03/30 - 206.0 - food ok and very brisk walk for 40 mins. Also plenty of water.
03/31 - 205.6 - food was good, did have a large glass low wine though. Also good 6km walk

03/24 - 96.7 yesterday was so stressful had to eat the entire house. Fingers crossed for better behavior today
03/25 - 95.6 The best way to be rewarded for good behaviour is to see it on the scale I know it is just water for having no carbs and other water retention stuff, and it will probably not stick too long as is (or stick too long XD and plateau). Anyway great way to get motivated to get back on track.
03/26 - 95.6 Happy to see this number again! Was semi-behaving yesterday. Proud I manage to control myself this period at all.
03/27 - 96.0 Binging is back. Really not in the mood to behave.
03/28 - 95.6 Hanging in there.
03/29 - 95.5 eating junk and keeping in weight. Unclear. Waiting for it to bite me.
03/30 - 95.8 Still waiting for it to bite me
03/31 - 96.7 Bited me. Restaurant and 6 am measurements. Stress
04/01 - 96.5 wilp i get to see a small minus to the beginning weight or did I blow it?

After going off track this weekend my weight was up high on Monday morning. Didn't weigh on Sunday so only doing nine days this round. I'm hoping I'm carrying a lot of water weight today so I'm going to set my goal at 153#. I was so close to this at the end of last round so it should be possible however I'm going away next weekend so am expecting a gain. Also TOTM is due next Sunday so this round is likely to be a bit wonky!
Goals are to keep hydrated, avoid alcohol during the week and get good sleep
03/25 155.8 (+2.06) I ate more than double my calories yesterday and still have a lot in my system so this really isn't a surprise. Just hope it's only temporary!
03/26 154.8 (+1.6#) very sedentary day yesterday as I hadn't slept well. Ate below calorie goal but not enough protein. Feeling more hydrated now but still holding onto the weekend's excesses. need to be more active but today I'm gonna be spending about seven hours in a car.
03/27 154.2 (+1#) I spent five hours sitting in a car last night waiting outside the Birmingham Arena while my 15 yr old was at a Panic at the Disco concert. I was bored, hungry and cold so of course caved in and ate her left over chips and nuggets. Doh.
03/28 153.4 (+0.2#) Almost back at my round 71 finishing weight. Not the best day yesterday in terms of food choices as I had carb cravings and had bread crisps and rice. Also ate way too late. I stayed under my calorie goal but I think too much salt.
03/29 153.0 well I'm at my 10 day goal weight today, yay, but I'm getting anxious about the weekend ahead. We're staying with friends on Saturday and I'm going to have no choice over what food is on offer and don't want to seem impolite by turning food down. Social situations make me nervous and I usually drink too much to cope with it, and then eat too much! I will do my best not to drink or eat my nerves and to have fun. Also totm is due on Sunday so I can expect water weight!
03/30 152.8 (-0.4#) I didn't deserve this loss as I went out for dinner last night, but I'll take it!
03/31 DNW I was thoroughly bored at evening at our friends house, everyone was speaking Punjabi most of the night so I was a bit left out, so I drank a lot but didn't eat much.
04/01 155.2 (+2#) as expected, my weekend away has caused a gain. Plus yesterday with a hangover I spent the day watching films and snacking. Little chance of reaching goal tomorrow so that's 20 days no progress :-/
04/02 hopefully 153#!

Focusing on me this round (never easy with 6 kids, 2 kids still at home, 6 grandkids, upcoming cheer comp and a permanently busy life! No major social events the next 10 days that should throw me off - although it is Mothers Day here in the UK next Sunday and the round does take in two weekends so need to stay focused through that. So here goes!
My target for the round is to lose a pound and finish mid 148's ............
Round start 149.7
03/24 - DNW - was my turn for a Sunday morning cup of tea in bed! At a quiz night last night where although I allowed for it in my calories for the day I did have salty snacks - doritos, olives etc and drank a ton of very gassy sparkling water so I know weight will be up and will take a few days to recover
03/25 -152.8lb up 3.1lb which is not possible but down to Sunday roast last night and hang over from Saturdays nights salty snacks. Scales may not reflect it but I know why they are up and it will be a temporary blip. Still no TOM (12 days over now!) and bloatedness still hanging around but despite all this feeling good about where my head is at and looking froward to this round to make some progress!
03/26 - 151.6lb down 1.2lb - in the right direction so will happily take that for today and hopefully keep heading in this direction! Food all planned and ready for the day and a gym session tonight - and as that is all done, water is now my focus for today
03/27 - 151.6 +0.0 - stayed the same which is OK as its not up Good food day planned , good gym session last night and TOM finally decided to arrive. Clocks go forward this weekend and so the lighter evenings will be upon us which always gives me a massive boost mentally. Continuing the quest to go down...........
03/28 - 151.3 -0.3lb - bit lower. Slow and steady..... Day planned to be within calories but going to be carb heavy (working lunch today which involved sandwiches and we have home made burgers tonight) so may not reflect well on the scales tomorrow. But still hoping... Gym session tonight, been guzzling away on the water and green tea today so all good there - macros need some work by the looks of it
03/29 - 150.5 down 0.80lb - yay feeling good and going in the right direction (albit slowly....)
03/30 -150.6 up 0.1lb but weighed in later than normal being a Saturday and did have a carb heavy (within calories)
dinner last night (home made chicken enchilladas - yummy!) so ok with todays weigh in. Should be all good today although mothers day tomorrow so a big family roast dinner planned but hopefully will be partly offset by my bike ride tomorrow - we're back out on the Social Sunday Rides. Only a slow 35 miles planned as no-one has been out for ages with a mid way tea and cake stop - perfect mothers day for me
03/31 - DNW - was mothers Day so did indulge in a slice of sponge the girls made me and also a full on roast dinner in the evening with a selection of very yummy desserts! On the other side though I did get out on my bike for the first time this year and did a 42mile ride so really pleased with that. Tea room mid way stop was a pot of tea and a toasted hot cross bun but according to Strava I burnt 900 calories so not feeling guilty about it!
04/01 - DNW again as had big dinner last night so decided to give the scaels a miss. Good food day planned today though and a walk tonight to help loosen up my legs after yesterdays ride so a good day ahead

@jenn990205 I too seem to be stuck at the 150 - up down up down ...... so need to break through and like you a big Sunday dinner can be 2lbs on overnight! Determined to get through this barrier ....
I'm just trying to stay focused on the longer term rather than worrying about an individual meal, aiming to stay well hydrated.
If you find the miracle cure then let me know and I'll do the same

Previous Daily Summaries23/03
Not a bad round, I have had shark week and a holiday during this round so small gain was fine with me.
25/03
Had higher than normal carbs over the weekend and had a super active weekend, burned around 5000 calories on Saturday (16km of Rowing, 20000 Steps, Digging rubble out of the garden for 2 hours and a little jogging). So expect weight will subside a little toward the end of the week.
26/03
Went a bit mad with a loaf of bread yesterday, really must remind myself there's a reason why I don't normally keep certain foods in the house. Carbs up phenomenally yesterday again so up on the scale again today. Fibre will probably take care of that tomorrow though
28/03
Bingeing has been a bit uncontrollable this week, no idea what is triggering it in the slightest. Have increased exercise quite a bit as rowing race coming up soon and also taking part in a StepBet challenge. Weight is steadily climbing - seems the more determined I become, the worse I am doing. Think I am going to take a break from food logging altogether for a while and just monitor weight for a while to keep an eye on average calorie intake.
29/03
First day of not logging my food for a month, it was weird to eat and not have to log it because the habit has become so ingrained. Stepbet challenge going well, have hit well above my target without too much extra effort, extra walk at lunchtime or taking scenic route for grocery shopping.
01/04
First weekend of not logging done, scale is up a little but then I did have a few drinks and ate out a couple of evenings. Goals during this period are to keep up eating plenty of fruit and veg, try to eat a little more fat than usual for satiety, cut down on snacking and stop buying trigger foods. We'll see how it's gone by the end of the month I suppose.9 -
Wow my 5th round already! Last month I reached three goals ahead of time. One of the goals would have been for end of March and the other was for April (Easter). I reevaluated my goals and I only have one for Easter. The new goal is to be 201.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 - 210 starting this round with an increased weight, due to no one else but myself. I was binge eating yesterday so glad this was not worse than what it is. I have to get my head back in it. Doctor’s appointment tomorrow (check-up and blood work). After this will be assessing things and making some changes if necessary.
03/25 - 210.6 doctor appointment today and blood work.
03/26 – 209.8 the doctor’s visit went great, she is pleased with my progress so far (she did not know I was doing this again until yesterday). I got more blood work, I did not have to get the cholesterol because was good the last time. I don’t have to go back for another 6 months, which is great considering I was going every 3 months at one time. I also, was told not to focus too much on the numbers (example, saturated fats, sodium, etc. – these were concerns being on low cholesterol and with high blood pressure). Lastly, glad the weight is moving in this direction again.
03/27 – 209.4
03/28 – 208.6 I am not sure what glitch I had going on the past several weeks, but it seems to worked itself out.
03/29 – 208.6 I am not worried, it will be going the right direction. I have done so much walking this week and have been over 10,000 steps and the one day walked over 4 miles, for me that is great!
03/30 – 207.2
03/31 – 207.6 It all good and not concerned
04/01 – 206.4 WOW, I am surprised by this, was not expecting it. Although within calories etc.
