JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 75

@deepwoodslady Donna, a travel day before final weigh in is a good reason to be SUPER MINDFUL of what you are eating today. YOU CAN DO IT! Just because you’re on the road doesn’t mean you can or should eat willy-nilly.5

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.
04/30 336.6 This puts three pounds under my goal for the month and perfectly on point for my goals. My nsv yesterday was not eating everything in sight and staying on track.
05/01 336.2 I’m happy to have a loss, I ended up ordering in pizza and didn’t log part of it. I also wasn’t great with water. I’ll see what the next few days bring.

Hi I’m Karen.
USW-187 Sept. 2018
UGW-135
Goal this round-160
4/25- 164-I’m starting a bit late. I fell off the wagon at Easter then left town and ate bad. I cam back to take a quilting class the rest of the week and walked yesterday morning before I left, but sat all day and didn’t want to stop for lunch, so I ate chips when I got home and made dinner. Last night I made a salad to take today. I will walk 7 miles this morning before I leave and will hopefully be back on track!
4/26-163-I’ve been getting my walks in before my class. I’ve also been taking my lunch. It sure takes a while to get back to the lower number after eating bad for a couple of days. Not worth it. It’s Friday!!!!!!!!!
4/27-162-I’ve been walking and making wise food choices. Long car ride today and eating out....we’ll see.
4/28-164-I’ll take that after the long day of driving and heavy food. Yesterday was DH birthday and we didn’t even cut into the cake...it is just sitting there waiting for us. Hopefully we’ll eat it early and I can drink lots of water and walk or ride the bike. Have a wonderful Sunday.🌸
4/29-Refused to weigh after poor choices.
4/30-164-Back on track.
5/1-163-I’m getting there. Need to get back to my evening walks in addition to my long morning ones, it really helps.
I’m glad you are all here!!!!😊☕️12 -

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.
4/30 126.5 Went to water fitness and the gym yesterday. Today is grandgirls’ last home softball game.
5/1 126.0 Happy May Day! Took one of granddaughters to dinner at Jimmy John’s last night after the game. Her sister from another mother didn’t even say hi or give me a hug because it is that mother’s week.10 -

4/26 - 176.6 - 59g carbs, 53g net carbs. Carbs were: sweet potato unleavened bread, spaghetti squash, chili sauce, quinoa w/vegetables, vegetables in meat sauce. Early weigh in for yesterday's fasting schedule. Didn't eat until hour 22.
4/27 - 177 - 54g carbs, 49g net carbs. Carbs were: unleavened bread, spaghetti squash, broccoli, ingredients in turkey burger, blueberries on goat cheese.

172g carbs, 163g net carbs. Woo! Yeah. The end of holy week and yes I DID want starchy carbs! It's over now. Back to work, time to bring these carb grams back down. Carbs were: peanut butter, unleavened bread, crackers, blueberries on goat cheese, cookies, apple, carrot & celery in chicken salad. I COULD have eaten salad, but that grasshopper is still on my mind. Lol.
4/29 - 179.8 - 104g carbs, 93g net carbs. Carbs were: lettuce wrapped double cheeseburger, fries, chili sauce, kale, quinoa w/vegetables. Last minute decision to visit grands. Did not take food with me, 😑 always a mistake when we visit my DS and DIL. Back to a consistent daily fasting schedule today and low carbs!
4/30 - 179 - 17gcarbs, 13g net carbs. Carbs were: peanut butter, salad arugula.
5/01 - 178.4 - 35g carbs, 32g net carbs. Carbs were: crackers (10), peanut butter, salad, celery, carrot & apple in chicken salad. Bit of a step back with the crackers yesterday. I also do not want to return to eating peanut butter everyday. I like it, but not as much as I've been eating it. I eat it when I don't want fish, meat, poultry or eggs and need to boost my protein. Sometimes, I eat it to break my fast, when I'm really hungry, but not in the mood for food. I've thought about mixing my collagen protein with my whey protein isolate, except I'd rather eat than drink my calories. I'll figure it out.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
4/30--208.5 Great NSV yesterday...my plan was to go out and run as soon as I got home from work, but it started to rain. I was disappointed, I can't believe I am now that person who is disappointed about not running. Well, I made dinner and hung out with hubby and at about 7:30 I looked outside and saw there was a break in the rain, so I told my husband I was going for the run. My husband was shocked I was still going because I am that person that if I stick around the house for a couple of hours after coming home from work I usually have no motivation to go and work out later on. Instead I took the dog and did my scheduled 3 mile run... I was so proud of myself.
5/1--208.1 Feeling heavy today. Worked late yesterday and when I got home there was a lot of snacking, not because I was hungry but because I was tired...another snacking trigger that I have to be more aware of. Going for a run today and then yoga.

@quiltingjaine Thanks for the encouragement & support. You are right, I can do this! I see how hard everyone is working when I read the posts and I must keep trying too. I will try to make the best choices while still enjoying my day in the city.

“Patience is also a form of action.” Auguste Rodin
04/23- 165.8 Although it’s a slight uptick from the past 2 days, I am happy with this. It’s my TOM, so I’ll be happy to hang around this weight for a few days. I’m watching my sodium.
04/24- 165.8 I’m good with that. I worked out hard at the gym today, so we’ll see what tomorrow brings. I hate it, but I’m eating some pizza tonight.
04/25- 165.8 Considering I ate pizza last night, I’m happy with this number.
04/26- 165 Heck yes! Was very happy to see this number on the scale this morning. I’m a little afraid of what tomorrow morning will bring, because I ate a heavy meal for dinner tonight.
04/27- 165.4 I’ll take that! Surprised that that it was as low as this. Felt bloated all day today.
04/28 164.2 Don’t know how that happened, but I’ll take it! So far in this round, my average weight over the past 6 days is 165.3.
04/29 166.2 It is what it is. Ate 2 slices of pizza for dinner last night, but stayed just under my calorie limit.
04/30 166.6 I worked out very hard yesterday and am VERY sore today, so my muscles may be retaining water. Was under my calorie goal yesterday, also.
05/01 166 Glad to be down a little. I worked out hard yesterday. I’m still sore, so I’m guessing some of this is still water weight.

🌸 Round 75 🌸 SW : 199.9 🌸 GW : 197.9 🌸
4/23 - 200.0 - Made good choices yesterday, but didn't get all my water in. Suspecting this is my body still recovering from all the junk over the weekend; just have to keep making good choices and hopefully see a drop
4/24 - 199.8 - Still waiting for that drop! Had a little extra sodium yesterday, so more water today
4/25 - 197.9 - There's that drop I was looking for! Now to keep the trend going!
4/26 - 197.2 - Nice way to end the week Will try to keep it under control this weekend
4/27 - 199.2 - Eep! Pizza last night did me in, I may have eaten too much! More water and a little more control hopefully
4/28 - 198.4 - A little better Had some much awaited for Chipotle yesterday, but stopped when I wasn't hungry anymore as opposed to still eating because it tasted good Progress!
4/29 - 197.8 - Even though we had a heavy breakfast, stayed good the rest of the day and had a sensible dinner last night; paid off!
4/30 - 197.6 - Creeping, but at least still in a downward direction
5/1 - 197.7 - Not bad, maybe I'll get to see another drop tomorrow, but if not, I'm happy with the way this round has gone

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 😋

Back for another round! Last round I ended with a slight gain, but I had a 5 day vacation, Easter weekend, and a family death that all happened in that round. Lots of eating out, stress, and family to deal with. So I was pretty happy that I was only up a couple of pounds and that I was able to pretty much maintain through all of that. I usually don't set goals for myself during these rounds, I just try and do my best and see what I can accomplish, but I will be setting 2 this round. I want to see a 146 something and I do not want to see a 150 anything on the scale the entire time. Good luck everyone!
EW Rnd 73: 148.8 (10 day Avg 149.51)
EW Rnd 74: 151.9 up a couple pounds because of vacation and Easter (no 10 day avg/didn't weigh 5 days)
04/23 - 149.4 nice drop of water weight to start the round. Water and food were both good all day and I am already on track for today. Would love to see a new low this week, so working hard and trying to stay in a deficit most of the week. At least Mon-Fri.
04/24 - 148.1 Back to where I was before I left on vacation and my Easter weekend took over. This was my lowest weight hit in round 73, so hoping to beat that in the next couple of days. I am also really close to hitting my next milestone on my happy scale app. Water and food are set for today and on track so far!
04/25 - 148.1 same as yesterday so I will take it. I had a beer and 3 shots last night with dinner, but ate light all day. I don't have a problem stress eating as much as I do with stress drinking. This month has just been so stressful all the way around. Yesterday my Senior and Junior in high school found out 1 of their friends (17 years old) committed suicide. That was after we found out my middle schooler (my autistic child) got into a fight at school. He had been doing so well and making really great progress, it just really hit me as a step back. So while cooking and eating dinner my husband and I had a couple of drinks. I had been doing so good, but knowing we have to go to this funeral on Saturday for my husbands grandma and now all of this I needed a drink, lol! Back on the wagon today. Meals are prepped, water is next to me, and I will not have any alcohol tonight.
04/26 - 147.6 I hit another milestone on my happy scale app today! Finally moving in the right direction after stalling for so many weeks. The weekend is here though and that is my downfall, so hoping I can stay on track.
04/27 - 147.6 same as yesterday. We had my DH grandmas funeral today, so it was not a great day. Just got home and I am headed to bed. Only ate 1 real meal, and pretty much drank my lunch. I’m slamming a couple bottles of water before I go to sleep to wash some of the alcohol out of my system. We have to drive about hour and a half out of town tomorrow so that we can spread her ashes. So hopefully I can stay on track better. I don’t think I had many calories, but what I did have was not good calories. We will see I guess.
04/28 - 149.5 totally expected. Lots of alcohol, 2 very restless nights of sleep (today will be closure for everyone), and lots of Mexican food. Chili, cheese, tortillas, chips/salsa, sopapillas, and potatoes, amazing food, but a killer on the scale, lol. I’m just checking in real quick because we are about to leave. We are all meeting at another Mexican restaurant and then driving down to the river to spread her ashes. My goal today is to stay out of the 150’s and I am right on the line, no alcohol (I’m driving) and hopefully make some better food choices. I have not read any updates since Friday, so I will have to catch up on Monday when I get back to work. Hope everyone had great weekends!
04/29 - 149.5 Stayed under 150! I am back at work today and just trying to play catch up on here. You know you have had a couple of busy days, when your happy to be back at work to get some rest,lol. Yesterday we had such an amazing time. The place we went was so beautiful and peaceful that it wasn't sad or depressing at all. The kids were running around in the fields and playing, all of the adults were sitting around talking about old times and eating cheesecake (which I chose not to have a piece and that was hard). For the first time in weeks my hubby and I slept like babies. It was exactly what we needed to be at peace with this whole situation. I did ok food wise yesterday, pretty much only had 1 real meal and then snacked after we got home, and did not have a drop of alcohol. 3 more days and hoping to end this round at a new low!
04/30 -148.2 and there goes the weekend gain. Went to my daughters last choir concert as a junior last night, it really does go by so quick. Stayed on track all day yesterday and finished strong with dinner. Meals are planned for today and may actually get to sit on the couch and catch up on some of our shows tonight, which would be amazing.
05/01 - 147.3 I can almost see 146.xxx, it's so close, but probably will not make it this round, which is ok. Today is my anniversary and the hubby and I are going out to dinner just the 2 of us. It is a surprise where he is taking me, so I will do my best once I am there. I will stick to 1 drink, fish or chicken and salad or vegetables as a side. If I am up a bit tomorrow then so be it. I have been really good this round and will try to stay on track tonight, but am not going to stress about it. It does kind of suck that it is the night before our final weigh-in, but oh well I guess.

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. 😃
04/30 - 139.4 (+1.3lb) no way I gained all that back. I’m bloated again though so it’s likely that. I’m sure this will smooth out shortly. I have been doing more strength training so I’m sure there is water retention along with the bloat. Will see what the next few days bring.
05/01 - 138.3 (-1.1lbs) that looks much better. Not really enjoying the ups and downs but it’s part of the process I guess. As long as the long term trajectory is downward.

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!
04/30 147.8 Interesting. I started keto yesterday and I probably doubled my salt intake and did an aerobics session as well, so assumed I'd at least be retaining water today. Down 2 lbs overnight can only mean water loss, though?
05/01 149.6 Okay, this seems more normal. I only had 838 calories yesterday (not on purpose!) so diet isn't the issue. But I'm two days out from an intense workout (Shaun T, for those of you who do Beachbody workouts), and the soreness has caught up to me. So. Sore. I think this is inflammation and muscle-related: "Intense workouts cause variability on the scale due to factors like hydration status, inflammation from muscle damage repair (we call this delayed onset muscle soreness), even the amount of intestinal by-product or urine and blood volume, Dolgan says." (Jeffrey A. Dolgan, a clinical exercise physiologist at Canyon Ranch) https://www.shape.com/weight-loss/tips-plans/help-why-does-my-workout-cause-weight-gain
As an added check, I did measurements. Down 2" from my belly and 1" from my hips! Take-home? Not freaking out about weighing more today!

Tu 30/04: 165.8: Goals ✖️Woke up after a bad night. My knee is swollen and I can barely move with the pain. Not much appetite either. The weight gain is all the fluid round my knee joint. Once the knee is sorted it will go.
We 01/05: 164.8: Goals: move more than I did yesterday ✅ Knee is slowly recovering. And some of the swelling has gone.

Su 21/04: 165.2: Goals ✅ And there it is! Stayed under goal today, but a bit heavy on carbs so there might still be a wee bounce up tomorrow, because of water retention.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 - 270.0 - Up a bit, but had a ton of sodium yesterday. I had my water, but still the sodium was over by 1/2 a teaspoon. I walked a lot and completed Week 4, Day 2 of C25K. I did two episodes of Zombies, Run! I did not walk for an hour with either one as the timing wasn't right for it due to people either using the room or setting up to use the room. Food was okay.
04/24 - 268.6 - Still up, but TOM started yesterday morning. Sodium is still up too. I walked about 2 hours yesterday. Yesterday morning was rough, but got through it without emotional eating. My Fitbit crashed, and the replacement Fitbit was having errors, got it fixed with the help of a friend. So, today I am supposed to do Week 4, Day 2 of C25K, we'll see what happens as my CSS is coming at 10. More walking later in the day.
04/25 - 269.0 (Internet wasn't up and unable to post)
04/26 - 269.4 - Still creeping up even though period is starting to come to an end. I don't know what's going on. Exercise has been good. Food has been good. So I don't know if I am going to post a loss for this week or not. I did try a new food in Nutrition 101 yesterday, a jicama. We also had it in a salad that was pretty good. Today has been a productive day.
04/27 - 271.8 (unable to post)
04/28 - 268.4 - Back down a good deal, but not all the way. I don't know where things are going to end up. Today was my rest day. I have done very little moving today. I did do some cooking. There was an issue with a small fire in the building but the alarms didn't go off alerting us to the danger. Thankfully the fire department showed up anyways. It's late at night now so I won't type for long. I am stopping my C25K program until I can see my doctor. I think my electrolytes have gotten out of balance as my heart skips beats while I'm running but seems to be fine otherwise.
04/29 - 268.2 - Forgot to post, sorry
04/30 - 266.4 - Whoosh. I am slipping into depression. I mean when I can finally get that high from exercise, it feels great and I feel great, but when it's gone, I crash all over again. Dark thoughts circle through my head again. I thought I was passed all of this. I finally have a razor and had shaved my legs for the first time in 9 months. I can't think of a trigger. Just my brain has switched. I am still keeping up with self care best I can, it's just tougher now, is all. I'm not ready to give up yet.
05/01 - 266.0 - I'm still exercising. Today I have done a lot of walking to compete in a Fitbit challenge, and I'm whooping butt. I'm at over 35, 000 steps so far. I saw my CSS today and we got an appointment set up to see my therapist. I will see my dietitian in a couple of weeks as well. The increase in calories does seem to have finally slowed my weight loss, at least according to last week's numbers. I might be up tomorrow due to water in my leg muscles from all of the walking. The depression is still there. I'm doing what I can to fight it.

04/28 - Day 1 for me - 206.4
04/29 - 205.4 - So far so good. Looks like my cooking spree this weekend is going to be really helpful for getting me through the week for breakfast and lunch.
04/30 - 204.7 - Today was a bit of a struggle for me. I planned and cooked this past weekend knowing that I wouldn’t have time to prep AIP/Paleo breakfasts and lunches. What I failed to do was figure out dinners for the week. I find that I am getting home starving and have no idea what I can make that is fast, easy and AIP/Paleo compliant with what I have in the house. I have made a few small slips, but overall I have managed to get through the day. I will need to allocate time this coming weekend for meal planning, shopping and cooking with all 3 major meals in mind.
05/01 - 205.4 - Up today and not particularly happy about it. I have been trying so hard to follow my AIP/Paleo protocols, but they are not particularly weight loss friendly. My meals are much “healthier” than they were before, but I am routinely going over my calorie allowance by a couple hundred calories a day. I am worried that I may not be able to both lose weight and follow my protocols at the same time.
Sorry for the rant, I am just feeling very frustrated right now. I don’t want to have to choose between one or the other. I really want to be able to do both.

This is Round 1 for me.
Goals:
I've been pretty consistent with logging, so I'd like to focus on working in more activity.
1) Walk 30+ minutes each day
2) Active gardening or household task 30+ minutes each day
3) 64-80 oz. water per day
10 days round 75
Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 – 202.8 – Gorgeous day! 60 minute walk on a moderately challenging trail, but gardening was limited to 10 minutes of deadheading daffodils before relaxing in the sun. Squeezed in some grocery shopping after the walk and got the dishes done. Not enough sleep last night, so my energy is flagging. Got my water in though. 😊
04/24 – 201.6 – Another beautiful day – blue skies, sunshine, and the lilacs are blooming! Too pretty to stay indoors, so I took the dog for a long walk in the park (75 min, paved trail). Enjoying the last of the daffodils while I deadhead like crazy. Perennials are coming in, but so are the weeds! Rain moves in Thursday evening, so I’ll double down on chores then. Extra water! Good day 😊
04/25 – 201.2 – Walking this morning (45 min before work). Trash goes down tonight, so I’d better get that fridge cleaned! (Got part of this done – threw out the stinky stuff. Then did recycling, composting, and some general straightening for another half hour.) Super salty dinner, so lots of extra water!
04/26 – 201.2 – A break in the rain this morning, so I managed to squeeze in a 65-minute walk and then lunch out with my daughter. The sky opened up 5 minutes after I walked back in the door! Squeezing in an hour of power-cleaning so I can concentrate on the neglected garden this weekend.
04/27 – 201.2 – No walk, but worked in the garden all afternoon pulling weeds, planting summer bulbs, and filling a few hanging baskets to attract the hummingbirds. Feels like I bruised my instep trying to dig out a new bed – should have worn sturdier shoes. Despite 10+ cups of water, I was thirsty all day. Way too much salt this weekend ☹
04/28 – 203 – And there’s that salt ☹ Half hour walk before heading out to a family event. Stayed away from the salty snacks, kept within my calorie allowance, and stuck with sparkling water and green tea. Four more days to go in this challenge – still time to turn this around.
04/29 – 201.6 – And there it goes – well, some of it, at least. Back to my weekday routines, cooking (and seasoning) my own meals. 8+ waters. Chilly 40-min walk in the park before dinner, enjoying the scent of lilacs and freshly mown grass. Busy week ahead and lots of rain in the forecast, so I’ll try to squeeze in the walks when I can. The garden looks pretty good, but my indoor chore list is growing!!!
04/30 – 200.4 – 30 min walk, 8 waters, laundry and recycling. Lots of papers to grade, so I’m keeping comments brief tonight.
05/01 – 199.8 – Woo hoo! Didn’t expect to be here at this point, but I’ll take it. Late breakfast out with my grandson who had the morning off from school. Put off the walk until after class but got rained out and decided to take today as a rest day and get to bed at a decent hour. I’m thinking I might add sleep as a goal in the next round.

Ready for my round 12
Was on holiday for the last 2 rounds. In the past this would have meant a gain of 3kg or so. I didn't really try to lose (just did not want to gain) but managed to lose 1.9 kg over the 2 rounds.
OSW 88KG
RSW 73.7 kg (-14.3kg) or {-31.5 lbs}
Goal.... less than I started
04/23 73.6 kg a good start to the round and to going back to work. Started running again yesterday and did some pushups this morning.
04/24 74.5kg for no reason so I'm not worried as I always do this after a loss. Ran and tried some planks with the sunrise.
04/25 74.5kg and pushups done for the day
04/26 74.3kg 2k run and plank challenge day 5 which I will have to repeat tomorrow as it was a struggle!
04/27 73.0kg I think that is a woosh! But it is probably because I hardly ate yesterday and I feel dehydrated this morning. Day 5 of planks again and push up and squat challenges.
04/28 73.0kg hit my 15 kg {33lbs} loss target yesterday. Spent the weekend partying with my bestie who gets all their calories from alcohol and naturally does OMAD. I'm still on my extended dry January so drank a lot of water!
04/29 72.7kg with a quick run and D7 off plank challenge all done before sunrise. Ready for today! 😁
04/30 73.1kg! Usual blip up after a loss. Forgot I had a strength training class after work yesterday but I made it. Might do some social sport with colleagues after work today if I can. Did my pushups etc this morning
05/01 72.9 kg nice short run and D9 of plank challenge. Played netball yesterday for the 1st time in years which was surprisingly fun. My son's birthday today and a public holiday. I'll make him a cake but I won't be eating any!
05/02 72.4kg plank challenge and pushups done. Squats will have to be later. Feels like a Monday!

This is my second round. Easter threw me off round 74, but it was worth it.
Female, 37, 5‘11‘
SW 190lbs
GW 177lbs
UGW - we‘ll see...
Goal for this challenge -3lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 187.1 lbs gained back a bit over Easter, but that’s ok with me. Goal for today: stay within limit, get in a good walk and finally track water intake consistently!
04/24 185.7 lbs did pretty well tracking water intake yesterday but my long walk was boycotted by my toddler. Goal for today: not as much snacking as yesterday!
04/25 183.8 lbs Nice! Mostly water, but I’ll take it! 😃
04/26 183.5 lbs slow and steady!
04/27 183.4 lbs slooooooow and steady ;-)
04/28 184.0 lbs no surprise there. Had friends over last night and had pizza, so I’m ok with a little gain. Back on track today, the gain should be gone by Tuesday hopefully!
04/29 182.6 lbs I’m a little confused. I only did half well yesterday, so I’m wondering where this loss comes from, but I’ll take it anyway 😜
04/30 183.8 lbs - I don’t get it! I was doing so well yesterday, stayed within my calorie limit, had loads of veggies and water, not much sodium. What’s going on? Could this be hormonal?
05/01 183.1 lbs - getting a little frustrated here. Only one day this challenge that I wasn’t in the deficit and I’ve been more than good the last two days, but not much change 😕 Hoping for a better result tomorrow morning for the end of the challenge! Also, I will try to focus on the fact that I will most probably have reached my challenge goal! 😃👍
05/02 182.9 lbs grrrrr! I was almost 500 calories below my deficit yesterday and had hoped for a better result. Oh well, I guess I’ll just be happy I surpassed my goal for this challenge and be happy about sticking to it (mostly!).12
