End weight round 75 (first round for me) : 13 stone, 8lbs (190lbs) -3lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 13,10 - Ho hum. Start of Bank Holiday weekend so need to plan out food so I don't go off-track.
05/04 13,11 - Seriously irritated by this but too busy to get drawn into a funk. This is my heaviest workout day with a 2hr martial arts session including fight fitness which was a killer today. No car available so I had to bike there and back in the wind. On the up-side I have lots of calories to play with.
05/05 13,10 - Got up super early to do a car boot sale. Despite being busy I seem to have used up far to high a percentage of my calories before dinner.
05/06 13,10 Overate yesterday. Need to get back on track today
05/07 13,10 Went further off the track without a map. Back into routine today so should get sorted.
05/08 13,9 Does anyone else stare at the scales willing it downwards?

Aiming to continue with the motivation and focus I had in the last round
Target for the round is to weigh in under 140 ........
Aiming to keep as active as possible - try to get in 10k steps everyday (if I'm not at the gym) by fitting in a quick lunchtime walk at work.

Its a Bank holiday weekend here in the UK so family dinner Sunday then friends round on Monday so going to be a tough start and a Sunday morning finish when I rarely weigh my lowest .... But these are excuses I guess not reasons so onwards and downwards. Here we go ............................


R76 start weight - 141.6lb

03/05 - 142.0lb (+0.4lb) Slightly up but not unusual for a Friday morning as we nearly always have home made burgers Thursday night so my carbs are higher than other days. Not worried as overall calories were all ok. Did 11k steps yesterday and so far today done a 2500 step walk and week 1 day 1 of C25k (going to try it and see if I can get to like running although I am doubtful and may end back on my bike - just wanted to try something else). Food all planned for the day too. Here's to a great Friday

04/05 - 141.4lb (-0.6lb) and there goes the burger bun!! 12k steps yesterday including my first C25K so that was all good. We've got a skip being delivered today so will be spending the weekend loading that up with building rubbish and clearing a bit more of the garden so plenty of exercise ahead and will no doubt ache lots by the time I go back to work Tuesday! Food planned for today so all looking good so far. Have a great weekend everyone and for those in the UK enjoy the long bank holiday weekend

05/05 - 141.2lb (-0.2lb)
06/05 - DNW
07/05 - 144.6lb (+ 3.4lb) I know this isn't real weight gain just a post bank holiday gain which consisted of a family roast dinner Sunday, friends round for dinner last night and I did have 3 G&T's over the weekend. Did also spend a large part of the weekend loading up a skip with builders rubble so got a good workout and definitely didn't drink enough water. Back to normal today - food planned and prepped and gym session tonight so its all good

08/05 - 142.0lb (-2.6lb) theres most of the weekend whoosh - as ever food prepped and planned, water bottle at my side ........ Carb heavier dinner (all within calories though) of baked potatoes and salad but still hoping for a drop tomorrow......

05/03 – 197.6 I am not sure what is going on, but will go with the flow. I did lots of activities yesterday.
05/04 – 197.8 I have to trust this is just from all the extra hard work I have put in, feeling stiff again today. This will go the other direction again.
05/05 – 196.6
05/06 – 196.8 Oh this is annoying, I have to figure something out.
05/07 – 195.6 it about time, now keep going the right direction.

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
Ending weight round 75 - 145.9 Was down in the middle but ended the last day on a high.

UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's

Goal for round 76 - track every morsel of food that goes in. Stay in tune to see what is going on with my body.

5/3 - 144.8. Nice whoosh for the first day of this round! Had a rough round 75 and ended high, looking forward to turning that around. Wins yesterday: RPM class, 4 miles of walking. Tracked every bit of food and liquid that I took in, just 30 calories over goal and drank a lot of water. Goal for today - continue the trend. Track everything!

5/4 - 144.6. Very surprised it’s not up, I’ll take it! Had a couple of beers last night and I’m not a regular drinker so I assumed it would go up due to bloating. Will hydrate well, stick to my calorie goal and exercise today in hope of flushing it out. Wins yesterday: tracked everything and only slightly over calorie goal, hydrated well, fit in a short HIIT workout even though I didn’t think I would have time.

5/5 144.4. I like these little drops! Wins yesterday: really hard HIIT workout, and a short bit of Zumba. Shorter dog walk (1.5 miles) due to weather. Hydrated well. Had dinner at a friend’s so couldn’t track well since I didn’t prepare it but did my best to watch portions as I know it was a heavier meal.

5/6 - 143.7. Matched the lowest I've been since I started the 10 day challenges, back at the end of round 73. Wins yesterday: 3.2 mile dog walk, yoga class, did some chores around the house and grocery shopped for the week. Hydrated well. Only went over calorie goal by about 50 calories, even with Oreos . Now that I see my low weight again I'm motivated to end this challenge lower than that.

5/7 -143.1. Big whooshes this round! I know from previous rounds it can be fleeting so I'm enjoying while I can. Wins yesterday: 5 mile run, 3.25 miles walking. Tracked everything, I thought I would be over a lot but ended up just 30 calories over target. Didn't hydrate as well as I should. Didn't sleep well so I'll be working hard today to not make poor decisions based on being tired.

5/8 - 144.0. Bodies are weird. Yesterday was a better day than the one before but I’m up almost a pound. Oh well, I know I did most things right. Wins yesterday: HIIT class and 2 mile walk. Hydrated decently, could do better but it was enough. Stayed right at calorie target. Will stay the course today and hopefully will come back down.

This is going to be a rough challenge, actually this whole month is going to be hard. With a camping trip thrown in at the very end. I'm going to stick with it though! I would love to see the 170's before the end of this round. Good luck everyone

05/03: 181.6 Down a little from yesterday, hopefully that's a good sign for this challenge!
05/04: 182.4 Up and down. That's ok. Happy Saturday!
05/05: 185.4 WHAT?! We are doing an antique and collectible show this weekend and it's hard work. I'm sore and have made horrible food choices. Still didn't expect that much gain. Today is the last day of it.
05/06: 184.2 A little drop. The show is over, we didn't get home til 10 pm last night. My hands and feet are incredibly swollen and I am super sore lol. These shows kick my kitten every time. This big one is only 2 times a year, thankfully. Back on track today.
05/07: 186.0 Back up today. I did good yesterday with calories. Not much water though. Still swollen.

Water needs to pick up but our water fountains are out of service at work so I can't refill my water bottle unless I use the sink (ick). Hopefully today they're working. Actually got some sleep last night. Not a ton, but way better. Storms tonight are supposedly early in the evening and giving away to rain overnight and that may help. Mentally been struggling these last few days though ): Hopefully I'll bounce back soon.

Previous day's comments for R76

05/03 - Its Friday. Its been a mentally draining week and I could not keep up with nutrition the way I needed to. Had to take a step back and get my mind right and that meant sacrificing some of my focus on tracking, planning, and preparing. Hopefully today will go a little smoother and I can get back to focusing on getting even better things in my body. Don't have anything good at work for lunch so it won't be a great day, but if I can keep my mind in the right spot, I can move forward from here (:
05/04 - No Posting
05/05 - No Posting
05/06 - I want to be excited about this weight but I know its a false low. I was so nauseous yesterday that even drinking water make me throw up. Didn't eat anything until about 8pm (after drinking ginger ale to calm me down) and even then, it wasn't a lot. I'm so dehydrated right now. I just hope when I bounce back, it won't be terribly high. I feel okay-ish now but barely any sleep. Stupid storms. Supposed to storm all night tonight and tomorrow night so hopefully they aren't as crazy as last night and I can sleep through
05/07 - There it is! I actually feel much better about this because I was worried once I started eating and drinking again, it'd be much higher. I didn't eat well (mostly carbs) but they helped absorb some of the icky stomach acid that is destroying my world right now. But I'm hopefully a little closer to back on track today (: Still no good sleep, two different storms came through last night (not including the one with hail earlier in the evening when I got home). Storms/rain all day today and storms all night tonight again. I feel so weak and tired and unfocused. Hopefully this ends soon.

05/03-166.4 feeling a little down about this number, I know its salt and the fact that I ate more yesterday (sill in calorie deficit) but it feels crumby to basically go back to the end of round 74...today is probably goint to include a "cheat meal" we are foinf to a retirement party
05/04-167.4 womp womp although I ate out I made decent choices, surprisingly in better spirits today, gonna get back to work
05/05-166 that feels a lot better! Walked so much yesterday, played outside with the kids. Today might be hard, a confirmation party and a birthday party…
05/06-166.4 😠 I guess this wouldnt bother me if i thought I should be up today. I ate well all weekend and when i had "cheat meals" i still made good choices. Well im gonna be eating at home for the majority of the week so im hoping I might still see a loss this round
05/07-165.4sorry ive been so grumpy, just gotta stick with it.
05/08-164 ok ok I see what's going on here. Ill try to remember this next time I have an unexpected gain

05/07 – 186.3 – SO happy, some of this came off already. I drank all my water for the first time in several days.
05/08 – 186.5 – still ok. I recorded all food, drank my water, no alcohol, and stayed under calories.

Round five! With no holidays, travel plans, or field trips in sight, I can finally get back into my routine for this round. I plan on continuing to be mindful of how much water I'm drinking, getting at least 10,000 steps tracked each day, and working out when I have it scheduled on my calendar. I'd like to see anything in the 170's on the scale by the end of this challenge.

05/03 182.8 lb I worked out for the first time last night in about three weeks and I'm feeling it today! Dinner was a burger, fries, and beer, but the rest of the day was very good. I drank 30 oz of water and 34 oz of non-calorie drinks and tracked 12,976 steps. I have the gym scheduled on my calendar for this afternoon, my meals planned through dinner, and I'm looking forward to not setting my alarm and sleeping in for the first time in 17 days! 😴
05/04 181.6 lb 20,714 steps were tracked and that included 40 minutes on the elliptical at the gym. 30 oz of water and 22 oz of non-calorie drinks. I'll be taking the dog for a nice walk today and cleaning up the house, but otherwise I have a rare unscheduled weekend to enjoy.
05/05 181.6 lb I'm happy to be holding steady. 10,334 steps were tracked and I had 48 oz of water. I made eggplant Parmesan and froze half of it so we wouldn't have as many lurking leftovers. I limited myself to one garlic knot when I usually go for three and I kept to one mint julep as we watched the Kentucky Derby drama. 🐎
05/06 180.6 lb We enjoyed a leisurely Sunday with a trip to Lowe's to pick up a new house plant, a visit to Yankee Candle where we spent way too much, and a dinner out. I tracked 12,540 steps, had 48 oz of water, and went over my calories by about 300 due to our first ice cream outing of the season. They weren't planned, but they were tasty.
05/07 181.4 lb I tracked 11,606 steps and had 52 oz of water and non-calories drinks. Dinner was half a small pizza, panko green beans, and a flight of beer so I'm not surprised about the bump. I'm planning on going to the gym after school today and then I'll be eating a late dinner after wind ensemble rehearsal. Still hoping for something in the 170's, but I'll need to reign in my calories to see that by Sunday!
05/08 181.8 lb 20,416 steps were tracked, but to be transparent, I played a lot of percussion yesterday and didn't bother to take off my Fitbit. I burned 350 calories on the elliptical at the gym and had 67 oz water and non-calorie drinks. The scale hasn't been doing too much in the last week, but the pair of dress pants I'm currently wearing that have been snug since December are fitting nicely today.

5/3 173.3 Down a little. Walked three miles yesterday after work. I had the bright idea that I was going to walk down to the creek to check the water level after 3 days of rain. Three days of rain means mud... slippery mud.
5/4 173.1 Still going down if only slightly. Good food day yesterday. My trail walk turned in to an indoor walk thanks to more kitten rain.
5/5 173.8 Attended my great nephew's 1st bday party yesterday. Food served: hot dogs, potato chips and cake. Even when I wasn't watching what I ate I would not eat hot dogs and potato chips. I hate both. So Saturday was a bad food day, good breakfast but a carrot cake cupcake for lunch. I worked in the yard for a couple of hours before I went to the party. I know I shouldn't have this much yard work to do but the first 3 weeks were tree/brush clearing. I was able to burn the first of the wood I cut myself in the firepit, probably the best part of the weekend.
5/6 174.3 Sunday wasn't much better food wise but I mowed, planted a ton of flowers, and got in a 2-mile walk. I was too tired to go much further and the trail was too muddy to try. I learned my lesson falling in the mud.
5/7 172.6 Whoosh!!! Almost 2 pounds overnight, adios agua! The weekend was actually mentally very taxing. Too much family, one friend got sick while on a 1 man road trip - he's 2 states away and I am helpless. Finally a reminder of my bf's cancer (technically in remission) which as he calls his early expiration date. He's losing weight but hasn't changed his diet. I ended up leaving work yesterday to "work from home" (yes I know how lucky I am to have this privilege). Which I did until 3:30, then I went for a walk. I had already committed to giving the roommate a ride home from work, so I stopped my walk took her home and went back for another 3 miles. Five miles total, in the woods, part of it in the rain. It's just what my soul needed. I am so happy to have found something that soothes me that's not ice cream/doughnuts/pepperoni pizza.
5/8 172.8 Slight jump. Did weights last night, might be a little water retention from that. Driving to StLouis today, driving back to KC tomorrow. I’ll walk tonight, looking for a new StL trail.

End of Round 75: 132.4 (Been sick). Difference: -4.4lb

Date / Weight / Δ /Steps / Comments
5/3: 132.2 / -0.2 / Didn’t wear Garmin / Had a fairly big dinner last night wasn’t sure how that would read today. A little loss is better than no loss.

5/4: 133.8 / +1.4 / 7237/ I knew my weight would be up. Pasta dinner and buttery movie popcorn with zero exercise to balance it out. Oh well, it will drop off in the next few days. Life without pasta and popcorn really isn’t worth it to me when I can moderate and still enjoy. Cheers y’all

5/5: 133.4 / -0.4 / didn’t wear monitor / Chinese last night, but a little of the pasta/popcorn day is dropping.

5/6: 131.8 / -1.6 / Didn’t wear tracker / False low as I wasn’t feeling well yesterday. I’ll still take it. I haven’t seen a 131 in quite some time.

5/7: 130.6 / -1.2 / 6139 / Though I’m liking the weight loss, I gotta get this stomach thing figured out. I ate some fruit for lunch, well a pear and half an apple. Just couldn’t finish it. Hubby bought my favorite pizza for dinner. Not a great idea on a tender tummy. I had one small slice and pretty much went to bed. Ugh…

5/8: 130.6 / 0.0 / 10,113. Feeling a little better today, but probably shouldn’t have gone to the gym. Oh well. A bad workout is better than no workout. Glad, but not glad that my fast weight loss will end. It will probably go up once I’m hydrated. Sigh, it was good while it lasted.

Day/Weight/Comment

05/03 – 142 – Holding steady!
05/04 - 142.5 - Typical weekend bump. It's fine.
05/05 - 143 - I did not eat great today, but I'll be back on the wagon tomorrow.
05/06 – 143.5 – Last Monday I was at 144.5, so I must not have done as much damage this weekend. (Unless it shows up tomorrow) Weight loss calories and water this week.
05/07 – 142.5 – Glad it’s dropping.
05/08 – 142 – One year ago today I started this challenge for Round 40 at 174 lbs. I’d lost 12 lbs. on my own the previous couple months and then got stuck for a couple weeks. I was hoping this group could keep me focused and help me lose the weight I’d been actually trying to lose for over 17 years. Well, it worked. I’ve certainly had my ups and downs, literally, with my weight this past year, but reading all your posts and taking some advice I’ve learned here has made this weight loss stick this time. The most helpful lessons I’ve learned are: Drink water, take body measurements, excess carbs in a meal will cause temporary weight gain, drink water, expect fluctuations for no good reason, measure and weigh food, and drink plenty of water! Thank you to all!

Have a rough week ahead of me with hosting our entire region here for a conference. Lots of good food and lots of work. Going to have to be very DISCIPLINED and mindful.

3-May... 188.8... -1
Didn't eat enough yesterday and forced the workout. Doing happy dance for confirmation that I'm under 190. Asta la vista 190s! Gettin it done!
4-May... 189.4... +0.6
I'm totally happy with that considering what I had for dinner. Going home work out today and willmake good choices tonight. Have a fancy event to get dressed up for!
5-May... 188.4... -1.0
Busy, busy day. Didn't eat enough and drank empty cals for Cinco de Mayo and the stress of the weekend. The scale wasn't nice.
6-May... 190.4... +2
See? Scale was not kind. I'm pretty sure it's not real since I was under cals and had a VERY salty lunch, but only 2 tacos and only about a half cup of sides and a handful of chips and salsa so it shouldn't be bad enough to push me back into 190-ville. I hate that place. Ordered good food choices for lunches. Just have to stay away from the crap.
7-May... 189... -1.4
Had a feeling it would go down. Was exhausted and didnt work out last night. These 12 hour days are really hard.
8-May... 189... 0
Same same. Up at butt crack o dawn to set up big breakfast and have a big dinner on site tonight. Forced a workout when I got home at 8 and will be really good today around all the crap. NO CHICK FIL A MINIS this morning! Those little suckers are dangerous!

05/03- 328.4 - I started a new medication yesterday, ate fast food for lunch and then had pie for dessert, and walked a lot yesterday... so it’s not surprising to see a gain, but I was hoping I wouldn’t. Back on the wagon though!
05/04- 328.4- I’m really not understanding this plateau at all, but I’m trying to just push through it. I was expecting to not start having these issues until I had lost significantly more weight.
05/05- 328.2- maybe things are starting to move again? I hope so.
05/06- 328.2- still frustrating.
05/07- 327.0- it moved! Yay! I stuck to it and didn’t let the lack of movement sabotage me!!
05/08- 325.8- feeling really positive about this! Hope the trend continues!!

Goal this round-157

5/3-159-Good way to start the round. I made bad food choices last weekend and did not exercise at all and it took me until Friday to get back in the swing of things. I have been walking my rear off and it’s paying off. I scheduled a massage for this morning and I am glad to be treating myself to it after this loss.
5/4-162-Not much walking and some heavy food. I will get out and do my long walk before I get in the car for the day.
5/5-162-I’ll take it. Traveled to a birthday party and ate cake and other things and thought it would be worse. Have a lovely Sunday.🌸
5/6-161–Not bad after a weekend. I have my work cut out for me.It’s Monday!!!! Let’s get with it!!!!!🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️🚰🌷
5/7-162-Salty food caused a swoosh up. I’ve been walking 7 miles a day and my clothes fit good. I will walk and go to yoga today and tomorrow the scale will look better.
5/8-161-I leave for a quick overnight trip...high altitude, so probably not much walking....we’ll see.

I am glad you are all here!☕️😊

05/03/19 - 256.6 - Started the day with some avocado toast.

05/04/19 - 253.8 - Welp. This is normal for me. My body stays the same weight for 2-3 weeks and then suddenly it starts dropping like crazy within a few days. So this is just that drop happening. That isn't to say I'm not grateful - definitely loving this number!!
I started the day with jelly toast this time XD.

05/05/19 - 254.6 And it's up again! You'll never guess what I started today off with. Over-easy egg... on a piece of toast! I'm on a toast kick.

05/06/19 - 255.2 The fluctuations are real! No toast for me today... yet.

05/07/19 - 256.0 How horrified am I! I've been eating an average of 1500 calories a day. I must remind myself these are fluctuations and not real weight gain. Also, I did end up having toast yesterday. But I think my toast phase is over! Hopefully the number will go down instead of up tomorrow.

05/08/19 - 255.6 Ehh.

05/03: 194.4 (Lost almost 2 pounds overnight and I’ve only gained 2.4 pounds during this diet break which is an awesome feat! Last night I did an upper body strength workout and had a chicken stir fry for dinner. Next Friday weigh in, I’ll be at a deficit so I can’t wait to see how long it takes to lose those pounds.)

05/04: 195.2 (I had a nice date night with the hubby at an Italian restaurant last night. I had a carb heavy pasta which was amazing! Ending the diet break right lol. I also did a 30 minute elliptical workout and a total body strength training workout.)

05/05: 196.2 (An expected gain. I’m enjoying these last couple days of my diet break and my 12 week workout plan that is coming to an end. I did a 60 minute elliptical workout yesterday.)

05/06: 198.4 (The last day of the diet break and I'm so glad it's finally over! I had so many calories because of my 1 hour elliptical workout yesterday so I was trying to eat and by lunch, I was stuffed! Now it's time to go on a deficit! I am off from my working out for 1 week to rest my muscles of a tough workout plan.)

05/07: 196.8 (I had a relaxing day yesterday not worrying about getting a workout done and dinner was made on time instead of super late at night. I had breakfast for dinner, egg and hashbrown casserole, and helped my hubby study for his macroeconomics final, so I'm glad I'm off the workouts this week.)

05/08: 194.4 (All this weight I gained during the diet break is starting to fall off once I got on my deficit again! I did not do a workout and had some beef shell pasta last night. I also went to bed earlier than usual. For some reason, every time I go on a workout break I am tired all the time!)
