MFP Round 73/Round 1 for Me

OSW- 206.5
CW-170.4
RGW- 169.4
UGW- 150

04/03/19: Today’s weight is 170.4, the exact same weight as yesterday, and the day before that. Continuing to look for ways to cut calories and sneak in some additional exercise. I’m beginning to feel like I’m plateauing again. I just want to get out of the 170’s for good. Yesterday I came in at 1,224 calories, then burned an additional 380 calories on the elliptical and strength training. I was really hungry by lunch time today.

04/04/19: 171.2. Not sure what’s going on and why I’m almost a whole pound heavier this morning, but it is what it is. Met my calorie goal today. Took a break from the gym and went shopping for some smaller spring/summer clothes.

04/05/19: 169.4 Woo-hoo! Hope it stays in the 160’s. I began drinking lemon water today to increase my overall water intake. Water is the one thing I haven’t been tracking. I’m also trying to cut back on the sodium, as it may be masking weight-loss efforts. I’ve been doing some exercises for my arthritis for a week now, and I could tell a difference at the gym today. I seem to be gaining mobility in my hip A non-scale victory! I came in just under my calorie limit today.

04/06/19: 168.6 Yay! When I hit 166.5, that will be 40 pounds lost. Reminding myself to be patient, and take it one day at a time, and not be upset if that number goes up a little tomorrow. Also reminding myself that slow weight loss is the best. Be patient, Jodie Girl!

04/07/19: 167.4 Shut up! I have a body fat composition scale that measures body fat, skeletal muscle, etc. (Yes, I know these scales aren’t 100% accurate, but I still like the info it gives.) One of the other things it measures is water percentage. I’ve been hovering at about 47% water. I drank more lemon water yesterday, and even though my weight decreased by almost a pound, it showed that I’m at 48% water. Maybe this scale is more accurate than I give it credit for??

04/08/19: 169 Honestly, I’m not surprised. I woke up with a sinus headache yesterday, and battled it the whole day. I slept most of the day and didn’t drink enough water. Drank a little more water today, but not as much as I would have liked. I’m curious to see what the scale says tomorrow.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 73 (round 5 for me !) Bring it on !!!

Female age 60
5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – but I am finding it difficult!

End of round 69 134.2 lbs
End of round 70 133.6
End of round 71 132.4
End of round 72 133.2


Day/Weight/Comment
04/03 132.2 – a nice drop to start, but will it stay down? 6 ¼ miles walked yesterday plus 30 mins swimming
04/04 132.2 - 8 ¼ miles walked yesterday – today we move site to Great Malvern
04/05 132.2 - yesterday woke up to rain, sleet and snow so started the day with 45 mins swimming – rain didn't stop all day – no walking !!

04/06 131.4 - made up for not walking on Thursday by walking almost 14 ¾ miles yesterday and 69 flights of stairs as the first half of the walk was all climbing !! It felt good !!!
04/07 132.2 - walked 13 miles yesterday. Today we headed back home. I have to say that all my life I have never returned from holiday – even a walking holiday like this one, without putting on 4 or 5 pounds! I am so grateful for the support of this ground that at the end of a 10 day holiday I weigh less than when I started it 10 days ago !!

04/08 132.2 – 8 miles walked yesterday – need to not get complacent now that back home & had small loss whilst away, going back to no alcohol in the week will help.

04/09 132.2 – 10 ¾ miles walked yesterday, stayed within calorie limit, no alcohol.

04/03 - 205.0 - food ok yesterday but a bit too much of it! Exercise - none!
04/04 - 203.6 - food ok, a lot of picking and no exercise!
04/05 - 203.4 - food good, a lot of walking around but more strolling! On my feet though so that helped.
04/06 - 203.4 - stayed the same. Happy with that as weekends are my downfall. Just need to hold on to that loss now.
04/07 - 202.8 - down a little, but I was in bed til late so that probably helped. Food was good yesterday and I got a good 6km walk in. Plenty of water too.
04/08 - 203.0 - food not too bad yesterday but a lot of it was bread. Fitted another 6km walk in so that should help.
04/09 - 203.8 - don't know why I am up. Food yesterday was good and I got plenty of exercise. Ah well. Will keep going. I want some bit of a loss for this round.

New life and maybe mini GW2 will show its face again!! Additional logging -step count. Goal: over 8k steps daily. Logging the count the day before.

04/03 - 95.7 and 12,800 steps.  Let's keep this trend 🤩
04/04 - 95.5 and 10,100 steps. Tom and still dropping. Staying on track!
04/05 - 95.5 and 9,900 steps. Realized I have less then 3k steps on the way back from work. Had to take a 5km evening walk just to barely get over step count.
04/06 - 95.0 and 13,150 steps. Now that's a drop! Had drinks and a restaurant meal last night, though I think it should fit my calorie goal (didn't track to meticulously but basically had a light breakfast and lunch), so not sure why I see it now.
04/07 - 94.7 and 10,000 Steps. Got a new bike yesterday. Did over 22km on it and walking next to it, so I can't say how much exactly of each. Hurting in places I didn't know I had. Also it's weekend so I weighted a bit late. So some of this drop could be fake. Will try to not discourage myself tomorrow, not marking GW2 just yet.
04/08 - 95.0, 3,800 (2.5km) steps and 4.5 kmbike. Now that I have the bike I can't really aim for steps only. Will still try to get 7K steps though since I consider the bike to be exercise, and moving is important throughout the day.
04/09 - 94.9, 11,200 (8.2km) steps and 6 km bike. So close to GW2!!

Seem to have been getting nowhere. Have lost 8lb since the start of the year but just been going up and down the last few rounds and getting very frustrated. Seems so much harder than last time - something needs to change but I have to find out what and how. In my head I am blaming peri-menopause (everything is a bit hit and miss and irregular these days!!) but is that an excuse rather than a reason ?

From a motivation point of view, I so need to get under 150 and stay there - summer and my holiday is getting closer ...... so target for this round is 149lb a 1.6lb loss - aiming for slow and steady
I do have 10 clear days to get focused............3,2,1,go!!!!

Starting weight 150.6lb

04/02 - 150.1lb (-0.5lb) - happy with that to start the round. Didn't get to the gym as planned last night - they are moving premises weren't yet finished so had a more relaxed evening (and quite enjoyed it!) Good food day planned and feeling a bit more positive with this good start

04/03 - 148.5lb (-1.6lb) What ??? 2lb in 2 days - no idea where or how but I'll take it thank you. Wish I could explain it as would do it again Carb heavier dinner tonight (home made burgers) so may see this go up a bit tomorrow ...

04/04 - 148.6 (+0.1lb) Very happy that the big drop is staying dropped! No gym again last night as still not quite ready so did go for a (short) walk. Guess I am "in the zone" so hoping it carries on - really not sure what I have changed but going to carry on as is for now as seems to be working at the minute!

04/05 - 146.3lb (-2.3lb) Seriously ???? Over 4lb gone in 4 days having struggled for weeks and weeks. Can't go on forever so am enjoying it while I can - weight loss isn't constant but obviously all my work the last few weeks is paying off - just only showing on the scales now. All I can put it down to is that the last week I have been drinking more green tea rather than normal (english) tea and milk even though the milk was part of my daily calories - that is all that has changed. So sticking with plenty of green tea for now!

04/06 - 146.20lb (-0.1lb) - definitely wasn't expecting another big loss today! Really pleased with this as at least the loss is holding at the minute. Got in a 1hr gym session yesterday and 10k steps and feeling good at the minute. Good food day planned (including our within calories full on Sunday roast with dessert tonight!) so the scales often show a higher weight on a Monday but hoping to STS tomorrow. Target for the end of the round is adjusted to maintain this weight (although extra happy if a bit more comes off!). Happy Sunday everyone x

04/07 - 146.4lb (+0.2lb) - I will count this weekend as a success - Up 0.1lb even with Sunday roast last night, a glass of wine too and a few after dinner mints. Looking forward to this week as should be no distractions and aiming for a continued loss over the next 5 days although not going to predict anything as this round has been so bizarre! Good food day planned today although I am at work all day today rather than my usual half day on a Monday so wont get my usual Monday walk in

04/08 - 145.8lb (-0.6lb) - I am gobsmacked my weight is still dropping this round. I am feeling so much better though, bloatedness has gone and most importantly I am have been logging every single morsel that passes my lips. Not sure what I wasn't logging before so going to give the credit to the green tea I've been drinking Seeing the weight finally come off though does give me a boost and am feeling so motivated at the minute - long may it continue. 4 days left of this round yet but given up trying to set a round end target - will carry on as I am and see what happens!

Previous Daily Summaries

02/04
Had plenty of Fruit & Veg yesterday (An apple for a snack; 1/2 Banana on my breakfast; an onion, 1/2 a cucumber, cherry tomatoes, capers and spinach in my lunch salad & veggie and chicken stirfry for dinner) plenty of fat in my breakfast and lunch. I did go a little OTT with some of those little mousse filled easter eggs from Cadburys, but I had walked 22000 steps after my watch decided to reset itself, after I'd done 9000 and wiped the step data so I had a choice between doing another 12000 to hit my StepBet target or taking an unplanned rest day. I went with doing the extra 12000 and ended up doing just over 14000 in the end. This morning has been pretty active already - cycled into work and then out on the river for an hour to get some more practice in for June's race.

04/04
Have been slightly over-indulging the last couple of days, partly because of the not logging, partly because my exercise has been increasing and my hunger levels haven't settled down yet. Have done well with my goals so far, just need to get back to planning my food ahead for grocery shopping as it's easier to go with a planned list than freestyle it.

05/04
Looking forward to a relaxed weekend, having a poker night at my place tonight so having a light lunch today to make room for all the tasty foods my other half will be making for it, have nothing on tomorrow which is probably the first time in weeks, so nice lie in and a couple of nice walks if the weather is nice. Then Sunday I have a training row, so will be rowing for about 2.5 hours. Plan is tomorrow to write up my food plan for next week and pick up the groceries for it.

08/04
Shark week started over the weekend and had a lot more starchy carbs than normal so very bloaty as seen by the sudden up-swing in weight. Nailed my 3rd week of StepBet so I am halfway through the challenge now.

09/04
My watch continues to plot against me and reset itself after doing 6000 steps yesterday, so it put me behind on my StepBet yesterday as I must do over 11000 to meet my goal to win my money back, this is the 2nd time it's done it now, so fairly unimpressed, have ordered a new one out of frustration. Food was relatively good yesterday despite an extra slice of cake (oops). Had plenty of fruit and veg yesterday and did some yoga before bed. This morning I cycled into work and then went out on the water for an hour rowing and will need to do an Active Step day today so that's 14000 steps or thereabouts. So plan is to go for a walk at lunchtime and then after work I need to head into the City to collect my neighbourhood food order (fresh milk, bread, butter from farmers market suppliers) so that should put me well on the way to my target, provided my watch behaves.

Goal: I just want to make it through 10 days. I haven't weighed myself yet because I don't want it to discourage me. I'll weigh myself when I drop from a 24 pant to a 22 pant (I can squeeze in now, but too lumpy)
So for now, I'll just post whether I've met my caloric goals for the day.

04/03: 188.2 Same as yesterday.
04/04: 188.6 Last month around the same time, I stayed the same for about a week. I kinda wonder if it's because I'm ovulating. The timing would be about right, but I don't track my cycle. I'm still eating at a deficit, so here's to hoping it's just ovulation!
04/05: 187.8 A slight drop! I'll take it!
04/06: 186.8 I like that drop even more! Today is my Friday, my off days are the hardest for me so I'm hoping it doesn't bounce back up. Must. Drink. Water...
04/07: 186.4 Happy with that. I ate like crap yesterday but stayed within my calorie goal. Back on track today.
04/08: 187.8 I kinda knew that was coming.
04/09: 186.8 A little better. Still holding out hope that I make my goal this round.

04/03 – 141.5 – I’m actually happy to see I’m up a little bit from yesterday. I’m trying to find the balance between eating more healthy foods and not losing weight. Never thought I’d see the day…
04/04 – 140.5 – OK
04/05 – 140.5 – Happy Friday!
04/06 – 140 – Gearing up for my next to last Saturday at the office. I hope everyone else has a good weekend!
04/07 - 141.5 - I took advantage of the catered lunch yesterday at the office, then I got home so late from work, we ended up ordering pizza for supper. I'm still fine with this weight though and will try to eat more healthy today.
04/08 – 140 – That came off faster than I expected.
04/09 – 141 – Fine with this!

04/03 – 185.4 – Still staying at 185. I’ll take a long walk today and just keep plugging away.
04/04 – 185.4 – Actually surprised with this because I went over calories and had 2 margaritas last night. I did get in a long walk though. Back on track today.
04/05 – 185.4 – stuck at this number. I know it isn’t always going to go down. Did have a long walk, so I exercised 3 times this week so far.
04/06 – 184.1 – YEA! Finally movement! I just have to keep with it. My daughter-in-law even mentioned that I had lost weight yesterday. Hopefully going to get a long walk in today, between rain.
04/07 – 183.6 – I hope the scale is right. I weight several times and got different numbers. I didn’t take the long walk yesterday because it was raining all day, but I did stay below my calories.
04/08 – 184.6 – well, still below 185. No walk yesterday and busy week this week.
04/09 – 185.0 – darn. I did get in a walk but also ate the extra calories.

In for my 6th round, they seem to just fly by. In the beginning no matter how well I did with calories and my exercise I put a pound on, this was disappointing because I was not over eating. Finally started the right direction again which was very pleasing. So hang in there, it will happen in time.
I have one goal, and it is to be 201 by Easter (goal is from another group I am involved in).

04/03 94.1kg bit of a drop, caused by a lack of dinner as i was sat in a hairdresser's chair! So I ended up having a hot cross buns for dinner!
04/04 94.7 bounce up was expected! Yesterday was a complete write off. I'm really struggling with things in my life at the moment, and the fact that I can't change things to improve the situation I'm in… so of course I ate a whole pack of mini battenburgs and a pack of biscuits! Ithen intended to get up to go for a run, but forgot to set my alarm! Had thought about not weighing or posting but this is a “warts-n-all” journey, not the Pinterest ready version of my life!
04/05 dnw my graduation day! Not weighing in until monday as I just want to enjoy my moment! It has taken me 16 years to get this far (always taking the long route!) it's still not the end of my journey as I do still have plans for a PhD but I'm taking a bit of time out to find out what direction to take next!
04/06 dnw well yesterday was eventful! The president of Ireland was at our graduation, so my kids bumped into him while running out of the room telling daddy “I need a poooooo”! Then, while Stephen Rae was giving his acceptance speech for his honorary doctorate my kids decided to join him on stage! My 3 yr old went for a run while my 4 yr old tried to catch him and kept telling the people on stage “sorry, I'm just getting him back to daddy”! So I get the task of going up to the stage to pick them up! Then daddy removed them with a chorus of “love you mummy” from both boys! Absolutely hilarious! Can't wait to gatecrash their graduations!
04/07 dnw last day off! Kinda worried how bad this will be… pizza, chocolate, prosecco, strawberries and cream, Danish pastries… Mentally getting myself ready to attack next week!
04/08 95.5 ok… not actually as bad as I thought! No run this morning as both boys are sick again so I was up with 3yr old until 2am. Might go for a walk when husband comes in from work! Goals are now changed, I just want to get through the next 5 days sticking to my food plan!

I worked out for the first time this year and boy do I feel it today. But I'm okay with these little blips knowing exactly why its happening. And NSV: I woke up admiring my body this morning. Its not where I want it, but I don't feel so bloated which is a wonderful feeling I've forgotten. Makes me appreciate my body more instead of waking up feeling like a whale. I GET MY "NEW" FITBIT TODAY. I'm so excited. I took ya'll's advice and found one I can use that won't break the bank. And this one is the HR which I definitely couldn't afford. So excited to track my steps at work again which will help with my calorie goals (I'm guessing my walking based on past averages and my workouts based on several averaged numbers so that I can adjust water and food intake)

Second round! I'm keeping my same goals of tracking at least 10,000 steps a day on my Fitbit, going to the gym or working out at home when I have it scheduled on my calendar, and averaging a little under my calorie goals to fit in unexpected treats and/or beers. I'm aiming for a 2 lb. loss again as well.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/03 187.2 lb Big drop mostly fueled by a busy schedule and little appetite. I missed going to the gym in favor of taking the dog for a longer walk and giving myself a little bit of down time before rehearsal. 11,906 steps were tracked and I'm drinking TONS of water and tea. We're getting take-out for dinner, so I won't be surprised to maintain this weight or see a gain tomorrow morning.
04/04 187.2 lb 12,636 steps were tracked and I came to the conclusion that taking time to change into my walking shoes from my work shoes makes a BIG difference on how far I'm willing to walk my dog. Calories were pretty good, but I needed to guess how many calories were in our dinner, so I'm sure it's off in terms of calories and sodium. The cluttered schedule continues with rehearsals for a different ensemble until 6:00pm and then I need to catch up on some bookkeeping and payroll for the wind ensemble I play in.
04/05 185.4 lb Another drop, but I'm pretty sure it's from some stress I've been feeling at work. 16,174 steps were tracked and calories were way under. I have a workout scheduled on my calendar for this afternoon and then we have opening night for Chicago. The kids are going to be great!
04/06 186.2 lb No workout yesterday. I thought I needed a nap before yesterday's show and twenty minutes turned into two hours. 😂 I tracked 11,197 steps and kept within my calorie goals. We went out for breakfast this morning and I had an acai bowl, croissant, and coffee. I'm planning on cleaning the house and taking the dog for a nice long walk before tonight's show.
04/07 184.4 lb 11,749 steps were tracked and I met my calorie goals. Minor NSV: I turned down some chocolate chip cookies because I knew I was going to have a beer with dinner. More dog walking and cleaning planned for today and we have our final matinee this afternoon.
04/08 185.6 lb I could have definitely had more water yesterday. I meal prepped lunches for the week with rosemary chicken salads ready to go in the fridge. I tracked 11,203 steps and only went over my calories by less than 100 because I wanted some chocolate after dinner. Two small pieces and I was satisfied. I'm looking forward to a busy day with my last after school class on "differentiated instruction" and our last jazz band rehearsal until April vacation.
04/09 184.4 lb Just barely made my step goal with 10,601 steps. Calories looked good and I drank a bunch of water and tea. I'm planning on fitting in Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred today after work and before a budget meeting. After that, the dog gets her nails trimmed and gets a good walk. The boyfriend is providing dinner tonight, so I'm keeping lunch light and loading up on water and tea because he likes to get take-out. I'd like to see this weight show up again (or maybe see something a little lower!) tomorrow.

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!

Next Goal - 170 I will get there, hopefully soon

Apr 3 - 179.8 - II am struggling to stay disciplined and determined. I lost my job in December and the stress is starting to get to me. I am hoping with the nicer weather we are expected to have this round that I will feel better about getting out and walking.
Apr 4 - 182.4 - I need to get my head in the game again, right now I’m not even playing with shoes on! I have a doctors appointment today to see what is wrong with my rib, hopefully she’ll give me the cure I need for that and I can get back to it.
Apr 5 - 180.2 I have a viral infection that affects the cartridge that attaches to the ribs. I had this in January and apparently it can take up to a year to full get rid of. I didn’t realize it was the same thing as it’s in another area on my ribs. Healthier day yesterday, but still no exercise.
Apr 6 - 181.2 - I need to get in gear. This is going in the wrong direction completely!
Apr 7 - 182.3 - I got into chips yesterday and tacos so this is expected. The sun is shining this morning, it’s supposed to hit 13 for a temp today and stay that way all week, so hopefully I can kick this cold to the curb and get out walking each day.
Apr 8 - 181.8 - had a good day yesterday and even though I didn’t feel good I went for a long walk. Now to repeat it today.
Apr 9 - 181.4 - a fair day yesterday, not the best, but not terrible. My cold is starting to get better and so are my ribs. Hopefully today I can find time for another walk.
