04/13: 187.6 After the way last round went, I'm hoping this small drop is a good sign for this round!
04/14: 186.6
04/15: 186.4
04/16: 186.8 I've been off for the last 2 days so this isn't as bad as what I thought it would be.
04/17: 185.4
04/18: 186.4 Well, I seen 185 so I'm hoping I'll make my goal this round! Water game was great yesterday, food wasn't bad either.
04/19: 183.6 I'm trying not to get too excited over this number. Maybe it's a fluke... I stepped on the scale 3 times to make sure lol Maybe it's the woosh I've been expecting since last round. Or maybe it's because I changed the batteries in my scale last night. Hopefully tomorrow shows the same!
04/20: 184.0 Happy with this number. This weekend is gonna be rough... birthday party today, tomorrow Easter, and my niece is in town so we always go out to dinner at some buffet. Still confident that I can hit my goal by the end of the round. Happy Saturday!
04/21: 184.6 Happy Easter!

04/13 - 276.6 - Woot! I got to sleep to closer to my actual waking point. Yesterday was my fast day until five (I have meds that require food). My sleep was interrupted at one point due to the fire alarm, no actual fire though. My cat still freaked out and hid under the bed. I'm almost to my next goal!
04/14 276.8 - A slight uptick caused by a rude awakening early. My cat insisted that I get up early. He pawed at my face and then my back and head when I turned over to go back to sleep. I think the snow was setting off his alarm bells. It was getting kinda chilly in the room. I had left the window open as it wasn't supposed to get that cold or windy as it was. I got a lot of walking in today. I finished with 27,020 steps. I did Zombies, Run! (London Calling) and a regular walk along with walking during commercial breaks. Tomorrow I start Week 3 of Zombies, Run! Couch to 5K
04/15 - 275.8 - Sooooo close to my next main target goal. It's 275, then the next one will be 250. I can't believe how far I've come. I started this journey this year at 339.8 on January 2nd. So I hope to reach that 275 this round and to surpass it, actually. I had to put on my winter coat to go to church yesterday due to unexpected shift in the weather yesterday morning. I haven't been able to button it up in years. I was able to button all the buttons with more than enough room to move around in the coat yesterday. It was nice. Today is Week 3, Day 1 of couch to 5K Zombies, Run! style, more walking, doctor's appointment and blood draw.
04/16 - 276 - Slight uptick, but weighed waaaay early due to waking up early again. I may have to try something different to try and get my sleep. I am fasting today to grieve the loss of the Notre Dame Cathedral, while she is not utterly destroyed it is going to take a generation and an untold fortune to rebuild her. It is also unfortunate that this happened during Holy Week. In one picture it looked like she was battling Hell itself. I am grateful to all 400 firefighters and further security personnel that worked to battle the blaze and keep the people safe as well. For the firefighter that was seriously injured I pray for his/her speedy recovery today. I will be doing some walking today. Yesterday I did do Week 3, Day 1 of my couch to 5K in the morning, it truly tested me.
04/17 - 271.8 - Well this was unexpected. It’s nice to see but unexpected. I did some walking and praying yesterday. I also did an episode of Zombies, Run! I’m not sure when I will do the next training session of couch to 5K training as I have an appointment this morning I don’t want to be late for. I can’t push it till tomorrow morning due to my aid coming. And Friday is a food pantry. I’ll figure it out.
04/18 - 273.4 - Eh. Not sure about the number. Weighed in an hour early. I woke up early due to the weather and couldn't get back to sleep. I did another episode of Zombies, Run! yesterday and unfortunately I discovered that the fun DJ's that come on after the mission are not coming on because I have to run through all the missions again! in order to get them back. Oh, well. It'll take awhile,but to me it's worth it.
04/19 - 272.2 - Going back down. I slept a bit later this morning, but still up early. I managed to Week 3, Day 2 of C25K yesterday. I got a little bit dizzy and quesy starting in the middle of it and got progressively worse. My glucose tablets finally arrive today, and I plan on carrying them with me the next I exercise just in case it happens again. I also walked for an hour using Zombies, Run! starting over with Mission 1.
04/20 - 270.0 - Woke up at a good time this morning. I'm going to the gym for Week 3, Day 3 of Zombies, Run! C25K. I will also do an episode or two in the community room later today too. Sun is out and it will be in the low 70's. Walking to and from the gym, taking my tablets with me, just in case. I may not have the problem since I am going closer to breakfast than I did last time. I expect it to be a good day. I am going to try and see my grandmother in the afternoon.
04/21 - 269.6 - Yay! Another day moving down. Today was also my official weigh-in. I completed week 3 of Zombies, Run C25K. I also did two episodes of the regular Zombies, Run! I did one in the park and one in the community room.

SW- 170.6 (4/11/19)
GW-150
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!
04/19-166.4😲🎉
04/20-166.2knowing I have to check in with you guys had really kept my eating under control. Now focusing on more water and more moving.0
4/21- 166.2 Happy to stay here, went out to eat yesterday at a place with no nutrition info. Chose as best as I could, side salad instead of fries and cut my chicken sandwich in half before I started eating. Did move a lot though spent all day outside with the kiddos, even got sunburt 😲 thats crazy in the midwest this early in the year! Happy Easter everyone. Allelujah! Christ is risen!

OK, a new round! Maybe it's the sunshine and warmer weather, but I feel the winter blues slipping away and feel optimistic about getting back to my previous low in a couple of months. Step by step! Have a great Saturday!

Today will be challenging foodwise, but I'll do what I can do.

Way to much salt and way too little water yesterday. Today's a new day.
04/16 - 153
Vegan Chinese yesterday, so more sodium overload, and I had to teach last night, came home hungry, and ate a bunch of wheat thins. Oh well. Off for a walk along the river and a more salad-y day today.

I went for a lovely 5-mile walk along our Rivergreenway yesterday. Wildflowers everywhere! Spring beauties, swamp buttercups, dog-tooth violents all in bloom and Mayapples, violets, bedstraw, trillium all about ready. And birds, birds, birds, from LBJs ("little brown jobs" -- birder talk) to Turkey Vultures, Red-tailed Hawks, and Great Blue Herons. Fabulous!

It's rainy and cold, but the 5 eggs in the nest on my front porch have turned into naked baby house finches, so I'm all warm and fuzzy. And I'm having lunch with a new friend, so that will warm me up some more. I'll try to be good. Have a lovely weekend, all!
04/20 - 153.8
Calories were in line, but I had a very salty reuben for lunch, and enjoyed every bite! It's fine. I'm off to the Y in a bit and am drinking lots of water. I'm not worrying much until next round cuz I do plan to have some chocolate tomorrow. Happy Easter weekend to all who celebrate one way or another.

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!

Round three for me! We're in spring break at school and I have a lot on my calendar. We'll be celebrating my boyfriend's birthday, going to an MLB game, travelling to spend time with friends and their new baby, and gathering with family for Easter. This time, I'd like to average 100,000 steps for the ten days, so I'll need to add extra walking on days we're not driving. I'm not looking to actively lose weight this round, but I'd like to maintain my hard work from the last two rounds.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 184.6 lb Holding steady! No workout yesterday due to a meeting that went long and unanticipated traffic on the way home. I had to get home to walk the pup! I tracked 11,415 steps. Take-out Thai food was dinner and I ate lightly throughout the day to not blow-out my calorie goals. I expect some sort of gain in the next couple of days due to planned events with high-calorie foods options.
04/14 184.6 lb Still looking good. I only tracked 5,150 steps yesterday so I'll need to take the dog out for a long walk later. We went out for lunch and it ended up being my only meal of the day and that allowed me to meet my calorie goals. Again, I'm anticipating a gain in the next couple of check-ins. We're heading to a baseball game this afternoon and I'm making a key lime pie for my boyfriend's birthday.
04/15 185.6 lb I ate so much junk yesterday. Bagel and cream cheese for breakfast, sausage and peppers and beer for lunch at the game (Go Red Sox!), and pizza, key lime pie, and GOT whiskey for dinner. Good thing birthdays only happen once a year. 😂 I wish I checked my Fitbit before I took it off because it had tracked 9,982 steps. There's something about seeing the number go over 10,000 that I really enjoy. I've got three days of light eating planned and then we're off travelling for a few days.
04/16 187.0 lb Not surprised. I tracked 10,015 steps yesterday and went a little over my calorie goals. I'm definitely going to the gym this afternoon and walking the dog this morning because we're planning on going out for dinner. We put a water filter on our kitchen tap because the water was very metallic tasting, so I'm sure my water intake will be up. I'm looking for no gain tomorrow!
04/17 187.0 lb No gain! I had tons of water, tracked 13,598 steps, and burned about 300 calories at the gym. I've tracked a little over 50,000 steps for the last five days, so I'm on track to meet my step goal. I ate lightly throughout the day to help out my dinner calories, but I got a Long Island iced tea that I regret. It was all sour mix and not worth the calories. 😖 More dog walking and another gym visit planned for this afternoon and then pub trivia with the family!
04/18 188.0 lb Yup. Beer and buffalo chicken sandwich for dinner. 15,315 steps tracked and about 40 minutes at the gym on the elliptical yesterday. Travelled 6 hours today and ate garbage food all day. I'm already looking forward to the next round to lose what I gained this round.
04/19 Travelling, no scale
04/20 Travelling, no scale
04/21 185.8 lb I didn't wear my Fitbit at all yesterday due to being in the car for most of the day. Something I had for dinner on Friday didn't agree with me, so I barely had more than a can of ginger ale yesterday. I'm feeling a little better today, but I have no appetite to speak of. It's nice to be home with the pup though!

04/14 185 I wanted hot cross buns - when I couldn't find them I bought a loaf of raisin bread - then I ate the loaf of raisin bread - not all at one but over the afternoon and evening I ate the whole thing! A binge with breaks is still a binge?

04/18 185.4 My diabetes education nurse is sending me to a dietitian to learn "mindful" eating - which is supposed to help manage emotional eating. Does anyone have any experience/words of wisdom on that?
04/19 Good Friday DNW slept late. Today is a modified fast day for me (Modified due to type 2 diabetes) 1 meal, 2 snacks, no sweets, no meat, no alcohol, no caffeine. I miss the caffeine the most.
04/20 185.4 started the day with a workout, hopping to go for a walk later if the rain lets up a bit.
04/21 Easter Sunday 184.6 I am not likely to get a loss for the round, but I feel like I am back on track. No Easter chocolate for me, but I have some lovely flowers!

I was really happy with last round and I’m continuing a few goals
Water! I get sloppy when it comes to water
Lower sodium
Keep up with walking, maybe I can hit another 5k steps
04/13 345.2 I was out of control with my sodium yesterday and a little over calories too. Add in that after I posted yesterday I pulled a few muscles in my leg and the water weight was inevitable. I’m resting today and I’m sure I’ll see it all drop off again in a few days.
04/14 344.2 First of what I’m sure will be several drops. I have a lowish sodium week planned. If I stay on course I should be to close to 340 by end of round.
04/15 343.4 And now a little below my round start weight. Hopefully I’ll see a little more loss over the next few days.
04/16 343
04/17 342.4 I’m a little surprised because of spasticity in my leg causing me some trouble. I was far less mobile yesterday because of it and I thought for sure I’d see some water retention. My odd nsv yesterday was my husband noticing that it’s already easier for him to help me up.
04/18. 341.6 And now I’m past forty pounds lost.
04/19 340.2 Well that’s a nice unexpected loss. I know that I have a slightly heavier sodium day planned today so I’m betting I’ll have a bounce up tomorrow. I’m so close to my goal for this month and can’t wait to watch the 330’s go by(e)
04/20. 339.8 And there’s the goal for the month and I should lose a bit more if I continue on track. I’m setting my first big goal of being in the 290’s by my anniversary at the end of October. That’s 27 weeks to lose 40 more pounds, at the rate I’ve been going I think I can do it.
04/21. 339.8 I’ll take that. I had some popcorn late and I’m not sure that I wasn’t over sodium. My nsv yesterday was standing long enough to make gravy, in the past I’ve had to sit every so often.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 153.5, had sushi (lent) and a lot of soy sauce, no idea how much salt was in that until I saw this number since is higher than I was all last week. I love weighing every day since I’m not freaked out by this number and know it will be gone soon
04/14 152.6, happy to see a lot of the salt is gone. Hopefully will resist temptation at dinner time tonight to end the weekend lighter than I started
04/15 152.4, so close to seeing a 151.x number this round. My TOM will be mid week so just going to make sure I’m hydrated and avoid fried foods. Going to a basic cardio and strength class that’s held once every few months for beginners. Those types of classes always intimidate me, but figured a beginning one should be good.
04/16 152.4, such a hard class yesterday, but I felt great for not giving up. I did have to modify a lot, but a lot of the exercises were completely new to me. I tend to do elipitical and spinning as my exercises, so any weights and total body exercises are foreign. My hamstrings and glutes are paying the price haha
04/17 152.1, new low and so close to a 151 number! Yesterday, I took it easy and might need to do the same today because I still hurt getting up and walking up and down stairs. Lots of stretching in my future!
04/18 152, managed to get a 35 minute elliptical. Hope to continue the downward trend to end this round under 152.
04/19 152, I only drank 48 oz of water so woke up thirsty bc I did have tofu with soy sauce for dinner yesterday. Off to the gym for 70 minutes. I’m fasting two meals for Good Friday so going to take it a bit easier than my usual Friday which involves more strenuous exercise
04/20 151.6, off to the gym for a strength class and have a friend’s birthday party later tonight. Hope to stay under 152 the rest of the round.
04/21 151.5, with easter not sure what tomorrow will bring, but will be getting an hour right after church.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/12 …..191.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/13 …..191.8 ….. Busy helping nieces with funeral arrangements for my sister. Doing this all long distance although I am getting some help from my local funeral home. Memorial services at a later date. Things will be hectic for the next few days. I don’t expect a lot of progress in my exercise or diet. Just trying to hang in there. But I wish everyone lots of luck this round!
04/14 ….. 192.0….. I am going to try to stick to plan today regardless of stress & busy schedule. It is, as always, a heavy work day for me on Sunday. I’m going to take it & run with it!
04/15 …..191.8 ….. I Tried hard yesterday in spite of it all. I had several days of grab & go immediately following my sister’s death. I also ate my emotions. Lots of mistakes like being too busy to eat dinner then bingeing later at night. I was back on track yesterday as my appetite was suddenly gone so it wasn’t difficult. Yesterday’s stats: 1036 Calories In / 2375 Calories Out. 9 Net Carbs. 11,202 Total Steps & 4.04 Total Miles. IF: 20:4 due to lack of hunger most of the day & evening. Charged fitbit so I am not sure about sleep time. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I took a 28 minute moderately paced walk. More arrangements today in Tennessee from Michigan. We are finalizing much of it today, I hope. I am electronically submitting pics etc for obituary etc. I have multiple cabins to clean here at home/work. Busy day today for me but staying busy helps during such grief. I hope to stay on plan though as best I can again with my eating & exercise. I just need a minute and I will work hard on making it as healthy a minute as possible. Thanks again to everyone for the hugs & luv.
04/16 ….. 191.8….. I am still all over the place here. I ate grilled cheese & tomato soup & crackers for the first time in over a year. A big no-no in my plan. Yesterdays stats: 2070 Calories In / 2705 Calories out. 158 Net Carbs. 16,046 Total Steps & 6.84 Total Miles. IF 18:6 . 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 50 minutes waking up still exhausted this morning but unable to sleep anymore. The plus is that I managed a 75 minute moderately paced walk so that I would not totally abandon all my goals. However, I ate the grilled cheese meal after the walk, so that was disappointing. I still need a minute here. I am still really struggling with the death. If I can just hold on without a gain I will be happy. However, tomorrow is travel (including restaurant) and Thursday is a business launch party complete with food, so that coupled with my emotions is making me nervous. I am going to work hard today and take each day as they come. My emotions will settle in at some point and I will get strong. I just have to try to mitigate the damage right now, every day, as I hobble & limp along because it does feel like I’m on a hilly, curvy, muddy treacherous road dragging my heart behind with a chain. I ‘ve been on this road before. Time does NOT heal all wounds, but it does get better. Walking toward the light here folks.
04/17 …..191.8 ….. I had a very good day yesterday for eating on plan & for some planned exercise (walking). Very low on water, however and I am sure I’m dehydrated somewhat. Finalization of plans for my sister were made including my final payment by phone. I am proud that I did not eat those emotions. Travel today & social event tomorrow will test me. I am weak & vulnerable right now, but I am also committed so we’ll see how this goes. Yesterday’s stats: 1028 Calories In/2238 Calories Out. 28 Net carbs due mainly to the veggies in my lunch. 12,104 Total Steps & 5.12 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept an amazing 7 hours & 4 minutes but still woke up tired. I laid in bed another hour but couldn’t sleep, so I am getting a late start on my trip. Feeling a bit better now after my black coffee. I walked 1 hour & 51 minutes at a semi brisk pace. I just have not felt like dancing. It feels to festive at such a sorrowful time. I will get back there asap. Sadly but thankfully, life on earth goes on & I will too. I continue to appreciate the notes & hugs. Thanks folks!
04/18 …..192.6 ….. Logged (way too many calories & carbs) as best I could. Only meal out when out of town which included breaded chicken & mashed potatoes & a small dessert which all came with the meal. Carby but portions were in control which is an NSV for me. The pre-packaged snacks I brought along helped keep me in check for most of the very long day. I walked 12,281 total steps. 5.42 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours 31 minutes last night & woke up refreshed. Today is the launch party for my middle daughter on her Mary Kay business so I will try to keep things in check. I must remember water to flush my likely sodium retention after yesterday. The scale went up which is likely some sodium, but I am proud that I handled it in a much controlled manner yesterday. If I even sniff carbs over 50g my weight goes up so this is not unexpected. This too shall pass. Onward!
04/19 ….192.6. ….. Family emergency with my daughter last night. Her and my 1 yr old grandson ended up spending the night at my house last night after I returned home from the launch party. I am babysitting today. It’s keeping me on my toes for sure! Yesterday’s stats: 2289 Calories In / 2525 Calories Out. 168 Net Carbs. 11,652 Total Steps & 6.52 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 11 minutes and while often it is enough sleep, I am beginning to really realize that it leaves me with a larger than average awake & eating window which can make it rough. I wish I could sleep more but my business just won’t allow it & I’ve become accustomed. I fit in a 27 minute dance even though I was away from home for quite some time yesterday. Sample song “Slow Ride” by Foghat. Have a great weekend everyone.
04/20 ….. 192.4….. Daughter stayed a second night last night. I ate a few things off plan but the DGS at age 1 kept me running again so that helped! 1714 Calories In / 2608 Calories Out. 111 Net Carbs : / 13,187 Total Steps & 5.58 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 27 minutes. I danced a 25 minute set. Sample song “Best Friend’s Girl” by The Cars.
04/21 …..196.3 ….. What????? 4 pounds up overnight? Calories In 1836 which is maintenance. Ate ½ pc lasagna for lunch out. Ate the other half later for dinner. Gave away the garlic bread. 2 cupcakes while baking, but overall it was not a lot of food yesterday. Carbs are killers when I eat them, and now today is Easter Dinner. This round is not going to end well for a number of reasons. Buckle down tomorrow & report a better weight by day #1 of round 75 is the goal. Happy Easter everyone!
04/22 ….. …..

@aadubb 6.5# every 10 days is not a reasonable or healthy goal. After the initial loss of water, which can be quite a bit, a goal of 1.5-2# per week is considered healthy. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment. We love having you join us and DO want you to succeed!6

4th round for me.
R71 SW 161.0, EW 159.4 (-1.6)

R73 SW 155.2, EW 150.2 (-5.0)
R74 SW 150.2
R74 GW because I lost so much in R73 due to being sick and the reality of 2 weekends including Easter in this round my goal will be 149.5
Original start weight 180 (April 2018). Stopped trying in September (153.6) and back up to 161 (March 2019)
UGW 140 (end of July)
Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 151.2 not surprised as I ate whatever I wanted yesterday. Back on track today before good habits disappear.
04/14 150.6 food choices not great but portions in check so pretty good for the weekend.
04/15 150.6 pretty happy with that!
04/16 149.8 good food choices and portions yesterday. Hoping for a few days of very healthy eating and then not too much of a gain on the long weekend.
04/17 149.8 🙂
04/18 149.6
04/19 149.0
04/20 148.8 👍
04/21 150.8 woah! Not going to reach my goal although I’m sure that’s mostly sodium from Vietnamese dinner out. I’m sure R75 will be better 😂 I’m not upset though it is a holiday weekend and I feel I’ve done well this round overall. Easter dinner tonight.

@cpanus I hope you are feeling better.
@astroamy Just keepin’ life real.
@hixa30 welcome!
@deepwoodslady Donna, who knows what causes these crazy gains! Oh, I think we do. Those added carbs caused you to retain water, would be my guess. You’ve had a rough round but you know what you have to do. You’ve got this!
I can’t believe tomorrow is the last day of this round! I hope to see you all in Round 75 starting Tuesday!

04/22/19-
04/21/19- 165.2. Happy, happy Easter! How cool is it that I reached 2 milestones today: 40 pounds lost, and I am now in the “normal” BMI range!
04/20/19- 167 This is wonderful! I think I’ve dropped a couple of pounds, because I weighed again tonight at 10:00, and weighed 168.6. Usually at night I weigh between 170 and 171. Trying not to get too excited about what tomorrow morning brings…
04/19/19- 167.8 Yay! With it being the week before my TOM, I am soooo hungry! Drinking water like it’s going out of style. I may go to bed early tonight to keep from eating.
04/18/19- 168.4 Glad to be down some. It’s the week before my TOM. I just computed my average weight so far for this round, and it’s 167.96, so I’m on target to make my goal, if not surpass it. Plus, Spring Break is now here!
04/17/19- 169 I drank a cup of water before I remembered to weigh this morning, so that number may be more like 168.8. Must be retaining water from the leg workout yesterday.
04/16/19- 167.6 I haven’t slept well the past 2 nights. I’m getting ready to cut my caffeine in half.
04/15/19- 166.8 I think this is my lowest weight yet. I ate a salad for lunch yesterday, and watched my sodium intake. When I hit 165.5, that will be 40 total pounds lost. Would love for that to happen on this round!
04/14/19- 168.4 It’s okay. Went to Outback for lunch, and ate my entire baked potato. It was well worth the uptick. I was back on track today.
04/13/19- 167.6 Wow! Good start for the round!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (Was my Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!
Goal this round-161
4/13-163 It is good to be here and wonderful to have all of you here. I always have my coffee with you in the mornings.😊☕️
4/14-166-Heavy salty food, it was really hot while we were at an outside event and I didn’t drink enough water. I’ll get back into the swing of things with my walking tomorrow.
4/15-162-I drank plenty of water and didn’t eat any of the heavy, salty food we had leftover from Saturday. I’m back to walking.
4/16-164-walked 7 miles yesterday and drank lots of coffee and iced tea instead of water. I planned on being good at dinner but my friend made some sliced baked sweet potatoes in the oven and I had seconds.....and now it’s raining. Tomorrow will be better.
4/17-164-The rain stopped and I got a walk in. The weather should be nice now, for a walk and bike ride.Glad to be in 160’s.
4/18-163-I get to visit my sister to celebrate her birthday; hopefully I won’t eat like a pig! I made her a quilt and am excited!
4/19-163-I’ll gladly take that after eating out yesterday. I got to see my sister and when I got home, I had protein powder in milk for dinner and put on my weighted vest and went for a good walk. I did not have any alcohol this week which is most excellent for me.
4/20-161-My goal weight this round....I got to this a couple rounds ago. I went to yoga yesterday which helped with stretching I needed. I’ll walk 7 miles this morning and then go help my in-laws set up for Easter.
4/21-162-I got my walk in yesterday, but did not drink much water. We’ll just see what today brings.😊
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! 🌷

50 Years Young, 5'6"
SW = 207
GW = 145
1st RD 74: SW 199.2 -- EW 195
2nd RD Goal Min -2 lbs = 193
Meal Plan! Meal Plan! Meal Plan!
Last week worked AWESOME! Make the time Sunday to MEAL PLAN and SHOP! Enter it all into MFP so it’s permanent and I will get this DONE! Vacation here I come! New ME here I come!
4/13…194.8... -.2
Scale went down another .2 Decided NOT to go to the fish fry and came home and worked out instead. Yay Me! Made ST Fish Sticks and roasted veggies for dinner and while cooking 2 oz of blueberry vodka then glass o wine while I stuck my feet in the amazing massager DH bought me for my bday last year. I am so blessed and feeling it. Have lunch out with friends today so already entered what I am going to have (carnitas tostada and only one at 288 cals - NO BEER) and sticking to it. Happy Saturday EVERYONE. Stay ON PLAN!
4/14… 195...+.2
Not too bad considering our hosts last night added mashed potatoes and wine to the menu. I had a feeling so put in an extra workout and logged in the wine before I left. The taters were a complete surprise, but I barely had a 1/4 cup so YAY Me!
4/15… 195.8... +.8
Boo.. overindulged. Kept the food in check but had some beer and wine. Hoping most of the lb is the saltiness of dinner. Will see after today. Meal planned well and shopped yesterday so ready for the week.
4/16…197.2... +1.4
Double boo and bummed. Didn't get too crazy over cals, but sodium was ridiculous and had to taste everything hubby is prepping for a big luncheon he is putting on. Bad choices.
4/17…195.8... -1.4
That's better. DH brought home lots of leftovers from the lunch so the boys in the house ate big and weren't hungry for any sort of dinner. Had the place to myself and stuck to plan for lunch so wasn't too hungry myself. I refuse to register a gain in 10 flipping days! Bound and determined. Have 5 more days to ditch that other lb. I can do this. Even with Easter because with MFP, ST and CMT I have all the tools I need. +Will Power? Can't be beat!
4/18…195.4... -.4
So yesterday reweighed after some tummy trouble and it went down to 195. Had a difficult couple of days with my lovely intestinal track... so seeing the extra .4 today when I was really good yesterday is a bit of a bummer. Was a higher sodium day with some turkey albondigas soup so planning on that coming down tomorrow. Doesn't look like I am going to see that 2 lb loss this round without a miracle . Saved my breakfast for work cuz we had a breakfast and Easter Egg hunt. I work at a fabulous place so lots of fun. No cookies, cakes or sweet stuff. Was reminded how much I love oatmeal with strawberries and blackberries! It's a good day! Happy Holy Thursday and the start of the Triduum! Easter here we come!
4/19…192.4... -3
WOW! I really WAS holding onto that salt! And I read someone else posting how they have a few days of slight gains or no loss at all then BAM a nice drop. So so so happy. Today is Good Friday and a fast day so lots of little munching until dinner so it all equals one meal. Should be able to keep it!
4/20…194.8... +2.4
Not real, but ok. Worked out today, took pups for walk, cleaned the house, then went to Easter Vigil. On my feet all day.
4/21… 192.6... -2.2
I'm going to assume that since I have been in the 192s twice this week that that is my true weight. Will be careful today, but made skinnytaste carrot cake that I am REALLY looking forward to. No rolls, just the ham, and only 1/2 cup each of mac and potato salad. Make good choices my friends! Enjoy, but don't over indugle, right? I got this. HAPPY EASTER!
