Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 - 140.7 I believe this is the TOM drop I was waiting for in the last challenge, better late than never. I also cut white carbs yesterday that I had been eating through the previous week. -1.1lbs
04/14 - 140.7 I guess it has to slow down at some point. My diet was on point and I met my exercise goal yesterday as well. I also drank a ton of water yesterday (12cups). Not sure why the stall. Will see what tomorrow brings.
04/15 - 140 I did weigh in 3 hours later than normal so might be a little off but progress nonetheless.
04/16 - 140.7 I thought it might be up a little because of yesterday’s late weigh in possibly skewing numbers but I didn’t think I’d be back up where I was the day before. I have been doing a lot of strength training, maybe I’m retaining water. Either way I’m still on track. NSVs are abundant. I look much better in clothes than I did when I weighed less. I am also seeing noticeable changes in my strength and muscle mass. Hopefully I’ll see a drop on the scale tomorrow but either way I’m doing good! 💪🏻
04/17 - 140.2 I was expecting a little more but it’s a loss so I can’t complain. Looking forward to getting back into the 130s!

Still figuring out my Maintenance Range.
Thought it would be 169, but I shrunk, so 166 (normal BMI). Hit May 2018. Realized I needed to lose more.

Then set 155. Hit Thanksgiving Day 2018. Realized I needed to lose more.

I like 153 Much more than 155.
Ditto 151.2 more than 153.
Shooting for 150 now, gradually.
Exercising lots.

Yesterday: 🚶‍♀️🏃‍♀️🥊🧘🍫🍷

This round is going to be tough. Two weekends including Easter, when I'll be going back to London to pack up our house for the move while catching up with friends and a desperately needed date night with DH.
I'm reinstating some moderate goals, but left some out that I know I won't be managing this round.

R73 EW: 71.7kg
Sat 04/13 71.5kg - 🚶‍♀️13k🍷 2300+cals in, 650 fitbit adjust, 8-900over
Picking up new car, yay! Steps will probably be quite low today, 2hr train ride to car, meet SIL and a couple of friends for lunch, then 2.5hr drive back home, dinner out...
Sun 04/14 - 71.5kg 🚶‍♀️8k🍷 didn't log cals, 315 fitbit adjust
I have a car! This is so exciting. It will negatively impact on my steps, but it also means I save 30mins each way to work, so I can start my morning runs again. And overall a new way of living 😊🚗
Yesterday wasn't too bad foodwise, a few road trip snacks (easter eggs) and ice cream after dinner. I estimated very generously, so cals might well have been lower.
Today, went for brunch, but very civilised, then Ikea before I dropped off my SIL at the airport. I didn't eat much, but had a few more Easter eggs - to finish them before the new week.
Mon 04/15 71.0kg 🚶‍♀️10k 🏃‍♀️2k 🧘🍷 1422 cals in, 447 fitbit adjust, 315 deficit
What a nice surprise this morning! Day was good food-wise, went for a brief lunch time walk and a 2k run - I really need to do some work to get back into running...
Tue 04/16 71.3kg no goals achieved, oops
Dinner with work, it was tapas style dinner but loads of different cuisines. I just estimated 1000cals for it.
I only did 3000 steps, this is my new reality, driving to and from work, plus no time for a lunch walk... Definitley don't want that to be the norm.

Wed 04/17 71.4kg 1713 cals in, 306 fitbit adjust, 178 over, 7k steps today
Weight is going the wrong direction, but not really surprising.
I favoured sleep over run or yoga again in the morning. I'm finding it really difficult to find an end to my day in the evening as they seem so short.
Food was acceptable, too much sugar, but not terrible. Ikea trip after work upped my steps, but still not made the 10k.

Thu 04/18

Dear @deepwoodslady,
I took a ziplock with me yesterday (because I knew it would be a crazy day) with weighed:
Washed apple
1.5 oz of unsalted nuts
2 oz of Kashi flax cereal
1/2 oz dark chocolate
And 2 bottles of water

Sure enough, something went over by 2 hours, and I was “famished” when I got back to the car. Ate the apple -slowly. Drank 1-2 cups water. Ate 5 nuts mindfully. Drive to the nearest Starbucks & got a nonfat decaf latte (130 cal) & instead of eating my choc & the cereal (269), I got a warmed choc chip cookie (360). I ate a few more nuts. Went and did next few things.
Made it home. Ate healthy vegetable heavy dinner.

I think having a refrigerated pack of ready to eat things will be my savior in maintenance as the American on-the-go food scene is pretty hostile for us. IE the choc chip cookie. I would have been happy with my cereal and my choc, but suddenly seeing that on the shelf (I was looking for a container of yogurt), and old habits popped up. So my next step is to pull out my refrigerated bag, so I can pack a protein too!

Thinking of you. I can assure you, I promise, your grief WILL get better. Really.
♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️

@MadisonMolly2017 Thanks so much (again) for all the travel tips. Knowing what has worked for you is so very helpful because you have come a long way successfully. I have been traveling with unsalted nuts, but adding some other things including sweet (like the chocolate) and the ever-filling fiber (like Kashi flax cereal) is a great idea! Curbing cravings is essential! Because I am diabetic and am usually gone 10 to 12 hours I do eat at restaurants too. However, my goal is to limit it to just one meal and supplement with these snacks. The trick is to be mindful of my restaurant meal when I have so little available in my own town & I get excited. This is where the snacks may also come in handy. Less hunger = smaller meal. That is my experiment today. Also I am vowing right now to all my mfp family that one meal, at least for today, will not turn into an all night binge. A late dinner, at home, from my prep cooked meals is all I will need, if anything. I am also vowing (one day at a time) that I will not stop at a bakery or donut shop (none available in my own town) to get the goodies that are not normally available to me. They are not going anywhere and will be there some other time. Not today. I've got to get back on track and back to my pre-Thanksgiving weight. It's spring, for goodness sakes! Thanks again for sharing. It really, really helps.

Dear @deepwoodslady!
Sounds like a perfect plan!

Every day we are doing experiments & figuring out what is best for our bodies!!

We are strong & creative problem solvers & we are motivated. We will never quit no matter what! We realize every time we go through a rough patch & recover the thread & get back on track, we are learning Essential Skills for maintenance!!

You inspire me continually & I know you’ve got this❣️

Hi..My name is Diane and I live in Louisville, CO..a bit south of Boulder. I started My fitness pal last week and I just saw this today. I am 53 years old and this sounds like a great challenge to keep me on track.. I need to be held accountable, thats where my strength is and that helps me stay on track. I am joining a few days late and I am going to put my last weight from Saturday on there for the 1st 3 days! Would like to continue on with you guys and join the sessions. My goal is to lose 13.2 more pounds to get to my first goal!! I am doing much better on my water and sometimes it is hard to get motivated to exercise but I have my Fitbit and am trying to get to 10000 steps each day!! Thanks for the support and I am glad I found this group. My profile pick is when I was close to my goal weight and I hope to get there again!!

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!

Round 68 🔺 -1.8lbs (27.0 total)
Round 69 🔺 -3.2lbs (28.8 total)

Round 71 🔺 -2.8lbs (35.4 total)
Round 72 🔺 -1.2lbs (38.2 total)
Round 73 🔺 -2.2lbs (41.4 total)

04/12 - 194.6 This is happening more & more frequently, so I think it’s my “new normal”. Hit a new low, go up about a pound for several days, drop to the old low & beyond over the course of 2-3 days. Rinse, lather, repeat. 🤷🏻‍♀️

04/13 - 194.6 Waiting patiently for it to drop... 🚶🏻‍♀️

04/14 - 194.2 Tomorrow is the last day of one of the long-term challenges I’m in. I’d love to see a new low, or at least the one I caught a glimpse of last week! 🤞🏼

04/15 - 193.2 Wish granted! Net loss of 0.4 from last week. Excited to see if it continues to fall! 💫

04/16 - 193.2 Had a (large, delicious) impromptu dinner out with friends so I was expecting far worse! 🍲

04/17 - 191.6 Yay! ⭐️

04/18 - 191.4 Flickered on .2, but I’ll gladly take the continued drop regardless. I’m not picky 😉

Goal for this challenge -3lbs

‪04/13 187.6‬ lbs

‪04/14 186.3‬ lbs goal for today: walk at least an hour and track water

‪04/15 186.6‬ lbs had a bad day yesterday with cramps and back pain, so not much activity. Food-wise it was an ok weekend. Looking at Monday motivated!

‪04/16 186.1‬ lbs Yesterday was a very good day exercise wise and also food wise. Even had some calories left over for a piece of chocolate (and stayed under my carbs goal! Yay!). Let’s do this again today!

04/17 184.8 lbs What a nice drop! Hopefully I can keep it. Made a semi-smart choice at the restaurant yesterday (very satisfying Couscous-Vegetable Stir-fry, left me with little calories for the rest of the day, but I got through with vegetables and fruit), so I will have to work on that.

04/18 184.6 lbs - wow! After having two scoops of ice cream with my son yesterday afternoon I was sure I was going to see a gain today. But I guess staying within my calorie limit and only eating veggies for dinner serves its purpose! Goal for today: going to the gym and finally tracking my water intake!

Bridie giving this another go!

SW: 118.5kg
CW: 81.5kg
GW for this round: Under 80kg.
End GW: 70-72kg.

My weight has been all over the place this last week with my period. After having plataued on 80.6kg for 4 days prior to this, it shot up to 81.6kg over the past couple of days. Really want to focus hard these 10 days on a strong weight loss as my June trip is coming close and I've worked hard to get as close to my end goal weight as I can for it!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/13: 81.5kg.
04/14: 80.5kg. Yesterday was eating well, gardening and doing 15000 steps. I am feeling it today! Wondering if THIS is the bounce back to my pre-period rate or if my weight will move up again tommorrow.
04/15: 80.7kg. Not as much as a bounce up as could have been. Lots of gardening and walking. Now, back into the work week!
04/16: 80.3kg. Glad to be moving down but really getting tired of being stuck in the 80 point dots. Managed to do my 10000 steps even with a sudden double shift.
04/17: 80.2kg. Arg. and, yay. But arg. 10,000 steps, calories on point.
04/18: 80.0kg. Doing all the right things. Seeing the results. 70s still proving veeery hard to break. Tommorrow, maybe? Maybe...

04/13 - 200.4
04/14 – 200.8 Ok with this because feeling a little stiff after almost 2 hours of walking and running to play tag with the grandkids.
04/15 – 202.0 I messed up by eating under calories, but too much fat. Amazing how everything works together. It ok and will work harder. Rain most of the week, so stuck in the house.
04/16 – 200.4 much better now to work on getting into Onederland!
04/17 – 201.8 up again not worrying I am sick and not doing anything, just sleeping a lot.
04/18 – 201.8 glad not more than this but was hoping was less, I am still sick since Monday.

Hoping this round is as good as the last one! Going to be tough as away at daughters for a coupe of days followed by Easter weekend at the girls cheerleading competition so 4 nights staying away with eating out, socialising, hotel food and time on the road. I wont be here for the end of the round so going to stay focused until then.....

With my loss in R73 it must slow down soon - Target for my (short) round is to get to 143.xx

R74 start weight - 144.8lb

04/13 - 144.3lb (-0.5lb) Happy with that start to the round Aiming to stay focused over the weekend and drink plenty of water

04/14 - 144.4lb (+0.1lb) OK with this - late dinner last night which was a carb heavier dinner than normal (home made chicken curry with rice and naan) but all within calories and macros for the day though. Big family Easter dinner this evening as we're away next weekend - don't intend to go mad but will treat myself to a glass of wine and a few chocolates and enjoy them

04/15 - 145.2lb (+0.8lb) OK with this after last nights family dinner and not unusual for weight to be up on a Monday All set for a good day and week ahead - fridge stocked, meals planned - off we go!!!

04/16 - 144.4lb (-0.8lb) So back where I was Sunday morning so happy with that. All set for today, gym session tonight..... Looking forward to seeing the weight continue to come off.....

04/17 - 144.5lb (+0.1lb) Bit disappointed - should've stayed in round 73! No reason for it as within calories and macros - can only think its my body deciding that it lost enough last round so going to stabilise for a bit (if that is even a reason????) I shall continue though and make the most of these last couple of days at home before we head away for the weekend (which won't be so easy ......)

04/18 - 144.4lb (-0.1lb) Lost the same 0.1lb again! Massive weight loss in R73 and now back to the see-saw again - only today left for me in this round but good food day planned and a gym session tonight (will weigh in early tomorrow morning before we go) but then 3 days of hotels, miles on the road and eating out as away for the girls cheerleading competition ...... Gonna be tough! Have a great Easter everyone

Another Power Day under my belt yesterday for StepBet. New watch has now been dispatched - excited! Did meal prep for the rest of the week, I feel like I am getting into a nice routine, I've pretty much maintained this round, but considering I'm not logging, I'm pretty happy with that.

15/04
Had a far less active weekend than expected due to rain/wind cancelling our club's regatta, met my Stepbet goals (on Saturday I was reduced to jogging on the spot in a toilet cubicle in the pub at 23:45 to make sure I got them in that's dedication for you) and food was more or less to plan so happy with that.

16/04
Good day for steps yesterday, despite the rubbish weather so started the week with a power day! Went out for some short rowing practice this morning, was training someone on steering oar, so it probably wasn't a huge calorie burn. Need to make an effort to drink more water during working hours, got home last night dying of thirst as I'd only had half a glass of water.

17/04
Another good day for steps, another power day bites the dust. Weekly weigh in, trendweight down 0.2lbs I have about 11 days of my logging break left. It's been good to have a proper break for the first time in 2 years. When I get back to it on the 29th I'll be going back to a calorie-cycling plan with a 1000 calorie deficit on rest days and 500 calorie deficit on active days (days's when I do strength training/rowing/running/hiking). I expect my rowing training to increase in the run up to a long distance race I'm doing in June and will be including strength training again.

18/04
Went out dogwalking last night, I've missed my little paw pal (I used to borrow dogs for walking through an app) I haven't walked him for about a year, he too has gained a little weight so going to maybe start taking him out jogging with me some evenings. Bring on the Easter Weekend - 2 x 4 day weeks, I have 3 days of rowing planned including my first attempt at sea rowing on Sunday, out to Cape Clear Island, I was meant to do this last year but the weather was not suitable. I am also doing a longer row of about 20km tomorrow.

You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. Maxwell

My goal for 2019 is to get into ONEderland. Changing my life.
Plans:
- Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target 70k steps per week
- Drink more water (target min 64 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
- Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018)
- Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
- Drink less alcohol (4 AF days per week; ~16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

R73 Final Post was very disappointing! I saw 230 and even 229 on the scale and let it slip away!
4/3 - 230.0 - Walked 2+ miles, yard work, 13754 steps, 56oz water, track, V, AF. The 230 stuck!!! YEAH! Now that I have that number in my head for 2 days in a row I can start tackling the 20s.
4/4 - 230.1 - Walked 1+ miles, bike 15 min, 10305 steps, 48oz water, track, V. WI is a blessing given the snacking I indulged yesterday. Cleaner eating today.
4/5 - 230.4 - Walked 1+ mile morning, walked Ty 1.7 miles, walked 3.5 miles evening. 16258 steps, little water.
4/6 - No scale @ camp - driving to camp, no exercise, 4617 steps, little water
4/7 - No scale @ camp - fishing, no exercise, bad reading on steps due to fishing, little water.
4/8 - 231.4 - Up a pound … not good! Need to refocus on walking routine, water and journalling. Yesterday walked 1+ miles, day in car driving, 5928 steps, not enough water, AF.
4/9 - 230.9 - walked 3+ miles (1+ morning with friend and 1+ in the afternoon with DH and then again 1 mile during evening without apple watch so steps are off), 15 bike, 12664 steps, 64oz water, V, AP
4/10 - 230.9 - walked 3.8 miles to pick up pool tags, 15021 steps, a little gardening, 64oz water, AF
4/11 - 231.8 - way too much snacking! walked to library 2+ miles, 11947 steps, 64oz water
4/12 - 233 - Thinking this is a false reading given it was back down the next morning. Not enough veggies this week, lots of carbs & easter candy. 8097 steps

Round 74: This round I need to focused period! Reminder to self to pick back up my tracking streak and monitor daily, reduce snacking on poor choices, drink more water and be active every day in some way shape or form!
🎯Mini Goal: 225 by end of April

Day/Weight/Comment

04/13 – 140.5 – Last Saturday in the office for me until next January! I will try to avoid the mindless stress snacking today, but I’m taking advantage of our last catered lunch. Have a good weekend everyone!
04/14 – 140.5
04/15 – 142 – This always happens when I eat stuffing with supper. My CPA office will also be celebrating tax filing day today, so tomorrow’s weigh in may be worse. I’m within maintenance range though so I’ll worry about getting back on track after the next couple days.
04/16 – 142.5
04/17 – 142 – My office was closed yesterday, so I spent the day lazing around watching mindless television while trying to get over this sinus/throat infection I’ve been battling the past couple weeks. I also indulged in some comfort foods. Back to work today and back to a more healthy mindset about my eating. I may end up at the Dr. later though, because I can’t seem to shake this infection.
04/18 – 141 – I ate well yesterday and drank plenty of water. I’m also on antibiotics now so I have to limit dairy and I’ll avoid my evening glass of wine. I’ll try to eat more protein to make up for the lost calories.

Mini-goal 167ish

04/12-170.6
04/13-170.2down a tiny bit from yesterday. Need to focus on getting more water... Why is it so hard for me when its cool outside! Also might try to squeeze a workout or walk in later.
04/14-169.4down a bit more yay! Happy about my food so far, even resisted doughnuts at church
04/15-168.8Had two yummy salads yesterday and felt toatally satisfied afterwards. Skipped my usual before bed snack because I wasn't hungry. Not 100% sure my weight is accurate though because my scale literally died after that number flashed on the screen for 1 second.... Need to go get a new one🤷
04/16-167.8glad to be in the range of my mini goal. I have been a lot more mindful of my food and getting in a ton of steps so let's see how far this can take me 🎉
04/17-167.6 tiny drop which is awsome since I know my Qdoba lunch was super salty (but still in check for calories)! Also I realized my weigh in dates have been off by a day... I readjusted it, let's just blame it on the fact that it's Holy week and its very busy here in our house and I'm obviously losing my mind 😅
04/18-167.2 feeling good and reminding myself now that if the scale goes up a bit tomorrow it will be ok havent had a streak of losses like this in awhile. Thanks for the inspiration guys!

Pretty sure between eating lunch out (work) and then surprise dinner out with friends, I went way over calories. New day, try again. Frustrating because I get my tattoo today and it was my 10lb loss reward but I'm back to 8lb loss instead. Ugh. Motivation to earn it back I suppose.

04/15 - Long weekend. Bloated as all get out from high salt dinner (the food we had planned didn't thaw in time and I hadn't been to this one Chinese buffet before so we decided to go there instead). Worked outside all day helping to clean up the garden and plant some new flowers but barely had any water. I know this should be temporary as I even woke up feeling like I'd just stuffed myself silly with food. Good news is that I'm starting 2lbs higher which means hopefully only downward from here!
04/16 - There it is! I knew the weekend weight was just water that'd drop off. I feel much better and less bloated in general. I'm hurting so bad today (the injections were last night and take about 24-48 hours to really kick in but until then, it's achy from the slight trauma). Stuck at my desk and probably can't stand too much so my steps and therefore activity will be low. Already ate breakfast because dinner was so small I was still hungry but there were no leftovers or snacks at my friend's house and I woke up at 4 drenched in sweat and stomach growling. Gotta be careful on food from here on out today. Lots of water it is! I didn't make goal yesterday but after 2 days of almost no water, it'll take me a day or two to build back up. Feeling confident despite the inconveniences and bumps in the road.
04/17 - WATER, GIRL, DRINK YOUR FOXING WATER (I have a water bottle that says "For Fox Sake, Drink Your Effing Water" so I decided to play on that). Late night, grilled hot dogs (no bun) with my neighbors but cheese puffs when hungry apparently are my downfall. And I didn't even know I liked them! Plus I replaced my last 15oz of water for the day with beer. Oops. So likely sodium, late dinner, and water. Should go back down again if I stay on track today
