Su 07/04: 166.4: Goals: ✅ Felt out of sorts today, despite sensible choices at the restaurant yesterday.
Mo 08/04: 165.8: Goals: ✅ Great day today. Unexpected after the weekend, but a nice little whoosh this morning. It will probably bounce back up tomorrow.

We 10/04: 166.2: Goals: ✅And there’s the bounce back up again 😂 😂 😂 What will tomorrow bring?
Th 11/04: 165.6: Goals: ✅ 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 💁🏼 Didn't expect that. 😂 Here's hoping it sticks tomorrow. Fitbit recorded 229 active minutes today!
Fri 12/04: xxx Goals:
THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Thanks for all the hugs yesterday! Today was really good. Did strength training today, first time in a while mid-week. Most weeks I go on the weekend but I've been having trouble going during the week since a change in my schedule. It felt fantastic! So I'm excited about that and looking forward to next week.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/03 - 267 -....Erm....What? Surely that can't be right.......
04/04 - 266.2 - I'm really confused, but I guess I should take it! No idea why it's dropping off so fast? I've not done anything different! I'm still going to keep this rounds target at 267 just in case it goes back on! haha
04/05 - 267 - What did I say haha
04/06 - 266.2
04/07 - 266.2
04/08 - 267 - weekend always gets me!
04/09 - 267 - Feel like absolute poop. Emotions all over the place making me want to eat everything in sight. So fed up and stressed at the minute. Just hope I can get a bit more control back and stay here till the end of the round. Had a PT session last night, didn't make me feel much better!
04/10 - 267.6 - So today is a new day. I know my weight is up a little but I did have a bad food night last night. On the plus side my binge was NOWHERE near as big as it would have been pre MFP. And today I’m moving on from it. It’s happened, I don’t feel guilty about it, I’m not going to beat myself up about it and I’m all prepped today with chicken, mixed veg, rice, salmon, sweet potato, fruit ect.
I feel much better today and in control. I’m glad these little blips don’t have the downwards spiral effect they used to have on me. So although they still happen (but less often now) I’m taking out of it a positive that I deal with them in a healthier way now and that’s all I can ask for.
04/11 -267.6 - Great day food wise yesterday and a great PT session in the evening too. I've started to really up my weights now!
04/12 -267.2

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.
04/10 131.6 – 8 ¼ miles walked yesterday. Scales finally moved again, knew they would have to soon as stomach and muffin top looking and feeling much flatter!!

04/11 131.6 – 8 ¼ miles walked yesterday and an hours yoga class
04/12 132.8 – Grrh!! Two days lunch dates and easing up (chips and cake at lunchtime!) “rewards” me as it should with a temporary (hopefully) gain, just a shame it has happened on the last day of the challenge, lets get this off now! Just under 7 miles leisurely walked yesterday pushing my lovely grandson in his pushchair around a country park and lake.

R73 SW: 95.9
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 km bike. 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!!
04/10 - 95.0 , 8,500 (6.1km) steps and 2 km bike. Long work day yesterday. And late night drinks. Not surprised.
04/11 - 95.5, 9,100 (6.5km) steps and 5 km bike. Random fluctuations i hope.
04/12 - 95.2 , 10,100(7.1km) steps and 3 km bike. And it's a wrap!

Total: ⬇️0.7kg

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.
04/10 - 203.2 - it's a loss. Food good yesterday. Some exercise but not as much as I would have liked. Limited by time! Hopefully I will see a loss again tomorrow.
04/11 - 204.6 - no idea where this gain came from. Yesterday was good although I could have had a bit more water. Frustrating but on I go!
04/12 - 205.0 - so disappointing. Cannot understand this gain. Food was goo, loads of water and I got a good run/walk in. Bah! I should do better next round.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

I think I've fallen off the wagon slightly recently. I've stopped going to the gym because of other commitments and my eating has been more random, though still within calories. This round I want to focus on staying active, drinking plenty of water and being mindful of eating more healthily.

Goal for this round 150lbs. This is my first official mfp goal weight and represents 10% body weight lost since starting so it's a big goal and maybe slightly ambitious!

3/4 152.2 (+0.6) ok this is a good starting weight as I have been swinging above and below this number for a few days.

4/4 153.8 (+2.2) so everything I set as my goal yesterday didn't happen! Lazy day, not enough water and ate random snacky stuff all day! Pretty sure my system is being sluggish today so I won't worry too much but I defo need to try harder!

5/4 151.0 (-0.6) nice! I have a mental block over getting into the 140s, I feel like it won't happen ever, but really it's just a number isn't it? My body doesn't see 140 as any different from, say 150.4. There's nothing special about getting into a different decade and yet it feels like a big deal and unattainable. Oh well, just some musings. Weekend is almost here!

6/4 151.2 (-0.4) just ate whatever was to hand today

7/4 151.6 (+-0) had salty soup and bread for lunch

8/4 152.8 (+1.2) went to the pub and had beer and crisps

9/4 153.2 (+1.6) went out for dinner and drinks

10/4 154.8 (+3.2) shared a dominos with my daughter and is messed with my system a bit.

11/4 DNW stayed out of town and ate out.

12/4 151.6 (+-0) oh dear I haven't had a good week at all! I think because it's school holidays I've gone into 'treat mode'. Been eating out and drinking too much. I'd better get a handle on this before I lose all my hard work. At least I've stayed the same this week! Think I've dodged a bullet though!

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

04/03 - 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

04/04 - 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 ...

04/05 - 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!

04/06 - 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!

04/07 - 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

04/08 - 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

04/09 - 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!

04/10 - 145.1lb (-0.7lb) - I don't want this round to end! Expecting scales not to really drop tomorrow though as a carb heavy (although still within daily allowances) dinner tonight of baked potatoes and salad - yummy!

04/11 - 145.3lb (+0.2lb) as expected the baked potato high carb dinner is still around! Yesterday I was all within calories and macros (slightly under in fact) so I know its not a "real" gain. Still SSSOOO happy with this round. All food planned for today. Gym PT session tonight - it's all good 2 days left of the round.....

04/12 -144.8lb (-0.5lb) Blimey - I know I've been properly focused this last week or so but didn't think I was so unfocused before?? Was feeling very bloated but just had another TOM just 2 weeks after the last one, bloated feeling gone so maybe has in part been due to that ? Whatever it is round 73 has been an amazing round for me so thinking I may stay here while you lot head off to round 74

TOTAL ROUND LOSS 5.8lb
