Day/Weight/ Difference/ Steps (previous day)/ Comment
04/23: 136.8 / 14,448 / Not as bad as I thought it would be. It’s actually exactly what it was 3/28, the last time I weighed. Oh, and I had spaghetti last night, so this might be a little higher than true weight.
04/24: 134.6 / -2.2 / 15,277 / I’m guessing yesterday was artificially high, because I’m fairly certain I didn’t lose 2.2 pounds over night. I did good yesterday, but not that good.
04/25: 134.6 / 0.0 / 15,545 / I even had pizza for dinner. Yum!
04/26: 135.6 / +1.0 / 12.277 / TOM being a girl sucks
04/27: Out of town, no scale / 8,581 steps not bad for spending 7 hours driving.
04/28: Out of town, no scale / 30,156 steps
/ Pleased with activity, 13.1 miles yesterday, but my eating was awful.
04/29: 139.4 /+3.8
/ 30,661 / Yup my weight reflects my weekend, but it should settle lower as I get the sodium, excess & TOM out of my system. Either way back to back 13.1 mile days is pretty great.

Round 75 (my 7th)Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4OSW 382
Round70 TL -3.6 pounds 356.4 - 352.8
Round 71 -3.8 pounds 352.8-349
Round 72 -1.8 pounds 349-347.2
Round 73 -3.6 pounds 347.2-343.6
Round 74 -4.4 pounds 343.6-339.2
RSW 339.2
This round is going to be a little rough as tom should start somewhere during it. I’m hopeful of getting a bit more down before the weight bounce from it starts.
04/23 337.2 I’m surprised by this drop, especially since I was sure my sodium was high yesterday. But I guess it wasn’t as bad as I feared and I dropped water weight from the weekend. I’ll see what the next few days bring and not be surprised if I see a bounce up.
04/24. 338.2 Hey I’m getting good at predicting the bounces. To be fair this number seems closer to what I thought I should be, so I’m pretty happy with it.
04/25 338.2 I’m okay with this. Tom is creeping ever closer and last month my weight slowed and bounced around for several days before.
04/26 338.0 I’m surprised by a loss today, I usually have a gain after having Italian beef for dinner.
04/27 337.0 And the water weight I was holding on to goes bye bye. We’ll see what happens over the next few days as I’m expecting tom at any moment.
04/28 337.4 The water retention dance. It’s all good and I’ll be down again soon.
04/29 337.4 Tom showed up yesterday so I’m not surprised that I maintained. I’m sure I’ll see a few drops soon.

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.

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.
4/22 126.5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4/23 126.0 My 70th round! And my goal weight from 1986 WW!
4/24 125.5 Almost back to HS weight. Not really trying to lose now but I need to build some muscle so will just see what happens and increase my workouts, as much as I hate them! I have been a couch potato for as long as I can remember. I am still losing fat so I guess this is okay.
4/25 125.0 My high school weight in 1966-67 Lunch with friends today
4/26 126.0 Had lunch at Carlito’s. I had the stuffed sopapilla with green chili. And I ate 1/4 of the dessert sopapilla with honey. It was all delicious and it was an experiment to see how those things would affect me. It was more carbs in one meal than I usually eat in a week! We’ll see what happens over the next couple of days.
4/27 126.5 Totally okay with this. “Testing the waters” with increased carbs and maintaining.
4/28 126.5
4/29 126.0 Went to Asian buffet for lunch yesterday. Veggie tempura, spring roll, Rangoon. It was a carb loaded meal but I added some broccoli beef without the sauce and OMAD and I seem to be okay. No immediate effect, have to wait a couple of days to be certain.7 -

Drink 72 oz of water
Dinner no later than 7:00pm
Limit drinking to 2-3 days this week (have two Large cocktail parties this week that I have to navigate through. )
Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 151.3, exercised and ate well yesterday. Going to a baseball game tonight and will limit myself to one beer.
04/24 150.8, surprised on weight loss because I had two beers and a polish sausage. I wasn’t over terribly on calories but expect an uptick over the next few days. Worth it though!
04/25 150.7, first of two cocktail parties is tonight. Did a double yesterday to help with calorie intake. I did wake up thirsty so 64 oz of water wasn’t enough to combat the salt the previous day. Will make sure I’m hydrated going into tomorrow and the week end.
04/26 150.4, danced a lot last night, but did have more drinks and saltier food than I usually have. Back to the diet today.
04/27 150.4, second cocktail party tonight so hoping to stay under 151 through Monday, but early next week I should be good with no temptations
04/28 150.2, always lose a bit after drinking and then it comes up a couple days after. I plan on being really good the rest of the round to level that out.
04/29 150.2, going to the gym for an hour today and meals are all prepped

SW this round (4/02): 153.6
04/23 ON VACATION, NO SCALE. Ate junk food, no exercise.
04/24 153.6 Thrilled to start here after a week of vacation! And glad to be back with you all for this daily accountability.
04/25 152.2 Okay, pleased to see this number! If I can stay on track this weekend, I should be able to meet my goal for this round.
04/26 151.4 Probably only because I was under calories yesterday. Just wasn't feeling great.
04/27 149.4 YOU GUYS, I hit the 140s!!! But it's the weekend. If I want it to stick, I have to pretend I'm on weekday eating. I need a weekend mantra. "Don't mess it up" isn't the catchiest phrase ever.
04/28 148.8 Maybe I'm going to get to keep my 14_ and not bump up to 15_? I've already beaten my GW for this round, and if this number sticks, I'll have lost 9 lbs in 5 rounds of this challenge and nearly 5 this round! I've never had a woosh loss before so I don't yet believe it's possible...
04/29 149.6 Still in the (upper) 140s. Whew! But so close to 150 that there's still a good chance I'll see it again before the round is up.

04/23 …..194.3 ….. Down in water weight I’m sure. It never ceases to tick me off that I can go up by 5 pounds overnight (obviously mainly water), but only go back down 2.5. Oh well, it is what it is. I will not be discouraged today. Yesterday was on plan. 1430 Calories In / 2476 Calories Out. 11 Net Carbs. 13,220 Total Steps & 5.6 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 6 minutes. I walked for about 11 minutes until being called away by work phone call but every little bit counts.
04/24 …..192.6 …..
Yesterday’s stats: 1163 Calories In / 2289 Calories Out. 27 Net Carbs mainly from my zoodle marinara & meatballs. 10,950 Total Steps & 4.63 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 38 minutes. I danced for 30 minutes. Sample song “Karma Chameleon” by Culture Club.
04/25 …..197.0 ….. My weight is so quickly inflated, as are my glucose readings. I try to stay mindful of this. Anyway, my sleep was 5 hours & 21 minutes. Home today & on plan. It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day. I love you carbs, but you don’t love me back, so we are going to have to part ways.
04/26 ….196.8. ….. A tiny blip down.
04/27 …..196.8 ….. Epic fail. I should have worked harder on drinking my water for the fluid retention. Meal plan was imperfect. Exercise was minimal (17 minutes on elliptical). However, I enjoyed watching my DGS who kept me on my toes! My son & other DGSs enjoyed the gaming night at the public library. It was an overall busy but nice day. Working hard today to get in those fluids & move more. Lots of housework today too.
04/28 ….. 197.0….. Dinner at 11:00 PM which is crazy. It was such a heavy work day! Otherwise, lots of steps & exercise/movement. Stayed mainly on plan, just ate too close to morning weigh in. There should be a better reflection tomorrow. Yesterdays Stats: 1663 Calories In / 2633 Calories Out. 31 Net Carbs. 17,091 Total Steps & 7.23 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 3 minutes. I did 107 minutes of yard work / raking which helped me burn over 500 extra calories for the day. Today will be busy.

Female, age 41, 5'6"
SW - 150.1 (starting on 3/25)
Ending weight round 72 - 145.3
Ending weight round 73 - 143.7
Ending weight round 74 - 145.7
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's
Goal for round 75 - regroup! Had a high gain at the end of round 74, no set goal just trying to reset after travel and illness and way too much stress eating.
4/23 145.3. Still have a nasty cough so not able to exercise yesterday. Did better with my food choices, although I did dip in to my daughter’s Easter basket. Happy to see a drop and hope it continues. Can’t wait until I can get moving again.
4/24 - 144.6. Still sick, went to doctor yesterday and got some meds to help with the cough. Hoping that helps, not resting is really hard! Wins yesterday: seeing the doctor, tracked food and stayed within calorie goal, hydrated well, took an easy walk with the dog. Hoping to be more active today, starting to go a little stir crazy from the lack of movement.
4/25 - 145.1. Slowly feeling human again. Not happy about the gain but my body is all out of whack due to illness so I didn’t know what to expect. Wins yesterday: slow run/walk, hydrated well, meds helping me feel better. I was bummed about this number going up until I noticed that today is one month since I started tracking and I’ve lost 5 lbs. That is a healthy, sustainable loss and if I could lose 5 lbs a month I’ll be at goal 2 months from now. Feeling more positive after that.
4/26 - 145.1. My body and my mind are stuck! Wins yesterday: long walk with dog. That's about it. Still not sleeping thanks to this cough that likes to pop up at night. Can't lay flat (I do have a prescription cough med that I got but it's not helping the nighttime/laying flat issue). Being tired typically leads to bad decisions. TOM coming in a few days so I'm super hungry. Goal for today is to regroup and plan for the weekend. My daughter has a 2-day softball tournament so we won't be home at all Sat/Sun. Need to pack my snacks and bring plenty of water, and be very mindful when we eat out. I don't know that I'll be able to fit in a workout Saturday, Sunday is a possibility. I don't want these to turn in to excuses but rather just things that are part of my day that I will work around. Happy Friday to all!
4/27- had to get up really early today and completely spaced on weighing. Oops! Will check in tomorrow.
4/28 -145.5. Got mad at myself for a minute today. Then I actually thought about what is going on. I’ve been sick so way less movement this week (today is the first day I feel completely back to normal, yay!). The meds I’m on have backed me up (TMI I know, but it’s a thing going on). TOM due any day now. Thinking about this I realized I’m doing just fine! I’ll see the downward trend again soon.
4/29 - 144.8. Wins yesterday: hydrated well, long dog walk. Grocery shopped and meal planned. Tried to get my house back in order after a week of illness and high stress at work. Doing my best to get back in my routine this week and will hopefully see some drops. (also I swear I posted earlier but don't see my post. Guess I didn't hit post reply? Hopefully I didn't double post).

4/23--211.4 So much bloating and feeling heavy from snacking the night before. Getting water in today. Worked out with trainer today.
4/24--210.0 There goes some of the bloat. Running tonight.
4/25--210.7 Ran 2 miles yesterday and worked out with trainer tonight. I've noticed that I'm more bloated/heavy the last few days and when I look back at my diet I see that I've been eating some of the foods that I'm sensitive to...it's just a little here and a little there, but I think it's adding up. So today I got back to my regular eating...I even went out for lunch and ordered a salad that fits into my food sensitivity issues.
4/26--210.0 Did not get enough sleep last night. Tonight is my last dance class with hubby, other than that I am going to relax and get to bed at a decent time...rest is so important in muscle recovery/weight loss
4/27--208.9 There goes the rest of the bloat after making sure I don't eat food that I'm sensitive to. Went to the nutritionist this morning and she was so excited with how my eating/weight loss/working out is going...it was nice to get the support. Today I'm going for a run and then hubby and I are going to go through a box of pictures we've had for over a year and figure out where we are going to put up all of the pictures.
4/28--208.5 Ran 4 miles yesterday, perfect weather. Working out with trainer today, I usually don't work out with him on Sundays but since I won't be able to make it on my regular day of Tuesday I will be working out today.
4/29--208.7 Lots of snacking yesterday...my hunger really amps up on days that I workout with my trainer. Running today.

33th Round for me: Female 66, height 5’
Back again! Had a great trip though came back last Thursday with a cold and absolutely exhausted. Stepped on the scale Friday and it said 157.8!! That was partly the result of eating very little when I was driving because my stomach was off but still a very encouraging number. Goals this round – stay in the 150’s and hopefully end with 157something, keep daily movement up.
I think the daily movement was what caused my loss while away. Meals were not low cal., although not too bad and almost no desserts, but was on my feet much, much more than at home. Lots of spring yard work to do so hoping that will do the trick.Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, -.2Day/Weight/Comment

Loss while away – -1
04/23 – 159.4 – Still a bit stuffy in the head and coughing but feeling better. Not healthy enough for a gym workout but planning to get out in the sunshine and clean off perennial beds. One of my favorite spring jobs – seeing all the new growth and thinking of what I can plant.
04/24 – 159.4 – Feel like dragging around / sleeping all day because of the end of this cold and trip tiredness. However, I know how that will end – eating all the wrong things and feeling down at the end of the day because I’m still looking at all the stuff that needs to be done. Instead I’m going outside in the sun and clear off perennial beds. Not a high activity job but still getting something done.
04/25 – 159.4
04/26 – 159.4 – I was looking for a picture of me to create a new profile pic last night and came across one taken from the side where I’m sitting at a table – oh my! way to show the apple shape
My mental image of myself is so way off. Good dose of reality so that I keep at it. You on this forum are proving that it can be done.
04/27 – 160 – Ice cream last night. Did also buy lots of fruit and veggies on my grocery shop so will focus on them today and hope this is just a blip.
04/28 – 159.8
04/29 – 159.6 – Not a great day calorie-wise but still under maintenance. Reminded that it’s worth it to log all those “bad” calories because while you may be over your goal, you may still be under maintenance. Logging keeps me from the “I’m over so I might as well eat junk” attitude that actually sinks me.

Scale is finally moving after 2 weeks of dieting and not budging! I am healing from a break up and my broken heart is surely the reason I’m finding it easier to stick to my calories...whatever the reason I will take it! ☀️☀️☀️
Keep on keeping on everyone!!!

Welcome to Round 75!
Late start round 74: Lost 1.8
Round 75 Goal - 2.2 down
04/23 - 203.8
04/24 - 203.6. Had a good day yesterday, calories, exercise both in check. Thought I would have a better scale response, but down is good.
04/25 - 203.2. Admin professionals day lunch, I ate pretty carefully, but it was high calorie - couldn't resist the chocolate dessert. Balanced OK with a low cal dinner and evening walk. Trying to plan my weekend a little more carefully - weekends are my "trigger".
04/26 - 202.9. Back down, total so far this round is down .9. I would love to be down 1.5 by Monday, because that is my weekly weigh in day. I know people say don't focus on a number, but right now my weight is so high that is all I can see. Maybe when I hit my 10% goal I will be able to focus on fitness goals, but right now, the number is important to me. I'm not sad or anything, just really want to lose weight the right way, so that I can sustain the healthy lifestyle. These are my meandering thoughts on a sunny and windy Friday afternoon.
04/27 - 202.9
04/28 - did not weigh
04/29 - 205.9. This is why I hate weighing daily. I had an OK weekend (not the best, not the worst). I did have a birthday party Saturday that included wine and dessert. But, how do I get above my starting weight 3 weeks ago? I feel like I am starving myself. I'm not, but I say "no thanks" so often. Sorry, just really frustrated right now.

I'm back after missing last round! I hit maintenance after round 71 and since then have been reporting my 10 day average towards my goal at the end.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 132.8 t = 133.5
Glad to be back here! I ate so much over the weekend and miraculously didn't gain anything. I think I may have created a new weight set point! Hopefully! Either way I've been back to logging since yesterday, back to doing what works 😁
04/24 132.6 t = 133.4
Feeling super lathargic the last two days, which is bad because I'm a full time nanny. You can't phone that in. It's hard to tell if it's metabolic or related to depression (i.e. premenstrual dysphoria; T.O.M. is coming up). Also I haven't been working out at all, and maybe that is making me conserve more energy??? Idk, I'm gonna do a 1 mile jog before work and see if that helps.
04/25 132 t = 133.3
Yesterday was great! I went for a mile run and did my best pace since starting again, 9 min/mile. I also did some yoga. It feels good to get back on the movement train. But today my back muscles are sore. I need a massage 😂
I want to do another mile run today but I don't want to over do it, and hurt my knee.
04/26 132.6 t = 133.3
Super happy with this!
Yesterday I had a NSV, I was browsing Facebook around lunchtime and someone posted about wanted taco Bell and then all of the sudden I really wanted some taco Bell crunchy beef tacos. I realized that while attempting to achieve my goal weight I had been super strict when it came to fast food, but now that I'm securely at the low end of my range why am I still avoiding it? Could it be unhealthy anxiety? So I decided to prelog 3 crunchy tacos and guess what? They were only ~500cal, the same as my lunch usually is now. So I did it, I went over to taco Bell and had 3 crunchy tacos for lunch and guess what? It was awesome and satisfying.
04/27 133.6 t = 133.3
My weight is up a pound but my treat is still exactly the same, I love maintenance! Yesterday I decided to do a pretty difficult hike by myself mid-day and it was awesome! There were hardly any other hikers out so it really felt alone. Especially when I got to the top. I suspect my weight increase today is just water from me taxing my muscles so much yesterday.
04/28 133.8 t = 133.3
Weight is continuing upward but my trend is holding steady ☺️
I still haven't gotten T.O.M. and it was starting to really bother me. I am super regular at 27 or 28 days, and we are now at day 34. So I took a test and hallelujah 🙌 I'm not pregnant! I just need to hold out til my menses gets here, but at least I'm no longer freaking out.
04/29 133.2 t = 133.3
Yesterday was really rough. After my post I started my T.O.M. (finally!!!) and was feeling really snacky. When I went to visit my mom's booth at the craft fair she had a big bowl of salt water Taffy to luer in patrons and it was an irresistible impulse to help myself while I watched her booth so she could use the restroom. That was at 9:30 a.m. and that kind of set the tone for my day. I ended up doing to much unrestrained eating and drinking. It kind of scared me. I don't want to go back to that. I almost made myself throw-up, something I haven't done in three and a half years. I decided to google how much fat can you gain in a single day of bingeing and this article popped up and it was exactly what I needed to see.
https://legionathletics.com/how-much-fat-can-you-gain-when-you-binge/?fbclid=IwAR1czNUKhzukRR_UKa6vsqefduwm5ddSSOgsSiDPDxsKSgxOdOJCtGaSHTc
I had a fear of getting on the scale this morning. I actually stayed in bed much longer to avoid the scale. Because I knew the second I got up I'd have to weigh so I could have my wakeup water. I always wake up super thirsty, drinking about a pint to a liter straight away so I have to weigh myself first to insure we don't have water as a confounding variable in scale reading.
I still have no idea why my weight went down. It really shouldn't have with all the carbs I consumed. Ok well stay tuned to see if my body bounces up tomorrow or the next day 🧐
My final thoughts after that super long stream of consciousness: holy Hannah my trend line sure is holding steady! That's super neat!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 - 140.3 (-.6lbs) nothing new been fluctuating here. Ready for some big losses. 😕 but on the bright side it is a loss.
04/24 - 141.1 (+.8lbs) extremely bloated today. Had stomach issues all night and just now barely feeling a little better but still bloated. Hopefully it clears up by tomorrow’s weigh in.
04/25 - 140.1 (-1lb) 😂 this is just funny at this point. I can’t seem to find 130s for the life of me. If there are any suggestions on how to get over a plateau please let me know. 😅
04/26 - 139 (-1.1lb) there it is, maybe the bloat finally went away and the actual weight it starting to show. I expected to be around this or a little less at this point but I’m happy to finally see it drop. 140.whatever was haunting me.
04/27 - 138.5 (-.5lbs) Nice little drop. I expect it will slow down a bit in the coming weeks but for now I’m happy to see the 140s getting further away. 😃 I have been doing yoga every day for 3.5 weeks and have added in a 30 min brisk walk at least 3x a week maybe more not sure yet. Slowing building up my workout routine. I was just thinking about my progress this month and realized I’m probably going to lose around 6lbs total. If I can do that for 2 more months I’ll be in the 120s and close to goal by summer!!! Very exciting.
04/28 - 138.9 (+.4) my muscles are sore all over the place from my last two days of workouts so I’m sure I’m retaining water. Just going to keep going and hope it falls off in a few days.
04/29 - 138.1 (-.8) less sore today, probably less water retention. Drank 12cups water yesterday. Hoping I get into 137s tomorrow. 😃

Good day overall, work was good, prepped a few things for the cat's arrival on Thu, went for a run and feel much better than the last few weeks.
Wed 04/24 71.0kg(-0.6) 🚶♀️7k🧘🍷📖in:2181 out:2102
So my motivation from yesterday went out of the window this eve. I worked much longer than planned as I was at home and then felt annoyed and sorry for myself and snacked... Didn't make my steps as I felt very tired and then it started raining in the eve, so there was the excuse I needed 🤔
Anyway, new day tomorrow and i'm super excited about my cats finally coming!
Thu 04/25 71.2kg 🚶♀️6k🍷📖🥗in:1551 out:2134
The cats are here 😻😻😻
Stressful day at work with loads of meetings and little time to eat. I didn't go for a run because I was expecting the cats earlier. Instead, I started building one of the Ikea cupboards while waiting, they were about 2 hours late. Food was ok, but late dinner and a couple of snacks afterwards while watching the cats explore.
Fri 04/26 71.2kg 🚶♀️16k!🏃♀️C25K W1D2📖🥗in:2218 out:2755
What a day, I'm exhausted! I worked from home to be here when the movers arrive, they didn't show until 7.30pm!
Did have a productive day, despite stopping frequently for some cat cuddles. Went for a run after work and finished building that kitchen cupboard and unpacked a few things. More of that tomorrow.
Food was a mixed bag, within cals including wine, but also spent too much on snacks.
Sat 04/27 70.9kg 🚶♀️15k📖🥗in:2004 out:2684
Yay, this is great. I'm knackered, sore from moving, running, unpacking and building furniture. Went for a walk and then ordered Thai, but only ate less than
half. Did have wine and snacks in the eve, but within cals. Also still waiting for TOM, looks like quite a few of us are due the same time. Let's see if I drop further after that's done.
Sun 04/28 71.3kg 🚶♀️14k🏃♀️c25k w1d3🧘🍷📖🥗in:1804 out:2610
This week went better than expected, average weight is lower than last week's. Gain today is probably from my take away last night, which I finished tonight, so expect more gain tomorrow. Very active day, built a bed, tidied up, cleaned, went for a run, did some yoga and a little bit of work. The run was unplanned, I suddenly had a surge of energy in the eve and thought I better go. TOM arrived, so hopefully that will also lead to a drop before the end of the round.
Overall really successful weekend, so I had to revamp the Ikea instructions 😋
Mon 04/29 71.5 kg 🚶♀️8k🧘🍷📖🥗in: out:
I know it's the weekend uptick from late food and snacking. I was miserable during the day, but coming home to the kitties really lifted my mood. TOM is well and truly here, cramps and all.
Tue 04/30 kg BBQ at neighbour's (instead of boxing, oops)
Wed 05/01 kg meeting friend for ice cream
