Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 - 201.6 - a little loss to start me off. Exercise very good. Food could have been better but not too bad.
05/04 - 202.6 - up again. No exercise and had a few glasses of wine.
05/05 - 203.6 - up again! Food not great and Noe exercise. Very little water too.
05/06 - 203.2 - down a little, exercise good, water good, food not so good.
05/07 - 203.4 - up again but food not good and no exercise, except for standing all day which was better that sitting. Home today so will be more in control.
05/08 - 201.0 - seems to be an unusually big drop. Food was good yesterday, also good exercise and water intake. Now to hold on to the loss.
05/09 - 200.2 - very good day yesterday.
05/10 - 200.6 - disappointing as I was very good and even got a run in.
05/11 - 201.6 - weekends aren't my best so unlikely to finish on a loss this time. Next tround!

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
Day/Weight/Comment
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.
05/08: 186.2 Frustrating
05/09: 183.0 Woosh?!
05/10: 184.0 This round is making me crazy!
05/11: DNW I stepped on the scale this morning and it said 150.8 Wish would be AMAZING lol but so not accurate. Stepped on it again and it said 212.6. I just recently changed the batteries so it's not that. Looking at it and somehow there is now a crack going through the middle. I'm guess one of my kids were playing with it and broke it. Time for a new scale, not sure if I'll have time to get one today or not...

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
05/08 – 195.6
05/09 – 195.2
05/10 – 194.8 Finally met my May 1st goal of 195lbs.
05/11 – 195.2 I tried something different after exercising and should not have ate it, but its all good. You live and you learn.

End Results:

OSW-170.6
RSW-165
RGW-163.something
UGW-150
R74-166.4 (-3.8)
R75-165 (-1.4, 5.6 total)
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--165.4 sorry 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
05/09-163.4🎉 hope I can hang on to the 163s until this weekend.
05/10-164 I'm ok with this. I have been on track with my eating even when I went to mcdonalds yesterday I got salad and water. Wins for this week I have been able to resist the doughnuts on the counter that have been there all week, im choosing water over other beverage choices almost every time and I have been skipping my before bed snack unless im truly hungry. MFP calories are in the green for probably 6 days in a row 🙌
05/11-163.6 actually suprised by this, ate out yesterday (again) and salad wasnt an option, not bad on calories but lots of sodium. Just gotta hold out today to meet my goal, might be tough, far away soccer game for my oldest, visit my gransparents (who always feed us yummy but unhealthy food) and a brat fry at church. Preparing mentally now!

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......
09/05 - 142.2lb (+0.2lb) as expected given my dinner last night. Been a "meh" round so far - nothing really moved - always amazes me how long it takes for your body to "get over" a weekend (even though it wasn't particularly indulgent and I did loads of activity). 3 days left of the round though to make a difference and aim to finish lower than I started - had hoped for under 140 but looks like I may have to save that for R77.... Food prepped for the day and gym PT session tonight ...
10/05 - 141.1lb (-1.1lb) Don't you just love a Whoosh Food planned for the day and feeling positive for a decent end to the Round and to finish lower than I started. Next weeks worth of food planned, on line shop done and shopping being delivered today so no reason not to have a good week
11/05 - 139.6lb (-1.5lb) Wow that was unexpected but I will happily take it. Stepped on the scales twice just to make sure though. Didn't have a particularly heavy dinner last night so think some of it may be that so may possibly see the scale up a bit tomorrow? Went to the gym this morning for a mobility session, had my favourite breakfast of smoked haddock and feeling good so far and set up ready for a great weekend ahead.
Have a good one everyone

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.
5/9 - 142.9. Bouncing all over the place the last few days! Wins yesterday: bodycombat and RPM classes. Hit calorie target. Hydrated ok but could have done better based on my activity level. Goal is to stay the course the next couple of days, because I have a lot going on this weekend and will be out of my normal routine. Didn’t sleep well again so will try not to give in to the tired cravings.
5/10 - 143.7. Wins yesterday: HIIT session with weights, 2 mile walk. Had my annual wellness checkup at work. From last year, I'm down 10 lbs and 0.82% body fat, my cholesterol is 17 points lower, resting heart rate and blood pressure nice and low. By all accounts I'm very healthy which is fantastic! However...I decided after seeing these numbers that I "deserved" some junk food so I had too much last night. And my weight is up today for it! It's ok though, just one day. This morning was a good reminder that it's not worth it to do that all the time, but an occasional indulgence is fine. I have family in town this weekend, an all day softball tournament tomorrow for my daughter, and going to a concert Sunday night. My goals will be to have fun, but be mindful of portions and not go too overboard. Hopefully will be able to end this challenge with an overall loss still.
5/11 - 143.3. Wins yesterday: short core circuit and about 3 mile walk. Volunteered at a nonprofit and did a lot of manual labor too 😊. Calories a little over goal but still a deficit. Didn’t hydrate as well since I was so busy.

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.
5/2 126.0
###########
5/3 126.0 Flying to Oklahoma this evening. DH cut the area between 2 toes last night. We went to the ER around midnight and got home about 4AM. I got up at 6:45 to deliver my pot garden to the neighbor for care while we’re gone. Laid back down but didn’t sleep as DH started a load of wash. Got up delivered cat to sitter at 9:15. Bags are not packed - his job. Dragging his feet and I’m having an anxiety attack.
5/4 123.5 False low, I’m sure. Instead of weight around 5AM, very late weigh in - woke up after 10am. Arrived last night, needed some food. Waffle House bacon cheese burger, no bun, no fries with lettuce tomato and some pickles. I was exhausted and don’t even remember getting in bed!
5/5 120.0 I didn’t drink enough water or coffee yesterday so probably be dehydrated. DH’s foot was hot and red so trip to Urgent Care first thing (noon?)yesterday followed by lunch out (fast food) then DD#1 and I were out and about until about 8PM so she could find dresses for the graduations. Helping her get back to Keto while we’re here.
5/6 125.0 Okay, I thought those were a couple of false lows. DD had changed location of scale so now it is back in it’s old spot and weight is 👍. I’m good with this. Woke up early with scratchy throat and plugged nose.
5/7 124.5 I feel miserable. I wish my head would explode. Went to bed at 11:30, woke up at 2:30 and again around 4. Nose running like a faucet so I got up. Took something for the headache which has improved a bit. We are at DD’s with no car so forced rest. YAY! Maybe I’ll binge watch something on Netflix. And drink LOTS OF WATER. This will pass, just feeling sorry for myself.
5/8 123.0 Got a decent night’s sleep so I feel a little better. DGS’s graduation tonight.
5/9 122.0 1300 students - even with 4 people reading the names, it takes a while for all those kids to walk across the stage! Leaving for Iowa this afternoon.
5/10 NWI In Ames, Iowa until Sunday morning. Hanging out with DGD#2 who graduates tomorrow. DH has my cold, we’re all exhausted. Need this day to rest before graduation activities and moving Stassja out of her apartment.

05/06 – 189.4 – I’ve been out of town some and not tracking food and it’s showing. I’m ready to be back on track. Hoping some of this is salt.
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.
05/09 – 186.7 – went out for dinner but didn’t overdo it. Need to just keep working on it. It was easy to get off track, harder to get back where I was.
05/10 – 185.0 – YEA. Not down to what I was 2 rounds ago, but I very happy! Just need to keep on tracking and drinking my water.
05/11 – 185.0 – holding. 😊 Need to move back into the 184s.

Day/Weight/Comment
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!!

05/10 325.2- keep on rolling rolling rolling!

Late to the challenge this round but I'm back as of today! I've slipped this year and stopped thinking about weight loss. In reality I never stopped thinking I just ignored that inner voice. TODAY I'm going to continue my journey of 1 lb per week even though I'm at 14 lbs down in 19 weeks. Where did April go??? 5 weeks of blowing it is enough! Picking up and moving on.6

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 - 156.2
I've been reading a bit about the dangers of obsessive tracking (which I've been doing for 4 years, even through gaining periods) and the imprecision of determining caloric content of foods and burn through exercise. So I'm experimenting this round with not counting calories but simply paying attention to what I eat, how much, and when. We'll see what happens.
05/04 - 159.4
Okay, I’m officially upset and befuddled. I did have 2 pieces of pizza last night, but come on. This is the heaviest I’ve been in a couple of years, and although my clothes still fit, I am most unhappy. I don’t think it’s even possible to gain 9 pounds in a month. Going into bunny rabbit mode for a while.
05/05 - 157
At least that's headed in the right direction.
05/06 - 156.2
Yesterday was a good day, mainly because I didn't cave in to snacking and I was outside a lot in the beautiful Spring sunshine. Today is a little gloomy, but that's ok, I have flowers to plant.
05/07 - 156.2
05/08 - 156.2
I’ve gotten a day off somehow, so catching up. I think today is today!
05/09 - 156.4
Rainy day today, so I'm off to the Y.
05/10 - 156
Gloomy day but no rain, so I hope to get outside for a walk and some gardening. I'm setting a new walking goal of 5-6 miles most days, plus weights 3 days/week.
05/11 - 158.2
Some of this is salt/water - we had pizza yesterday (thin & crispy veggie, so not too bad), and I had major Triscuit binge (very, very bad). I don't know why I'm doing that lately. I just confessed to DH that I'm sneaking food and he thought it was hilarious. Oh well - onward. Happy weekend!

Hi everyone! I love this challenge most of the time, but the ones that we have to end on a Sunday or Monday kill me, lol. Oh well, would love to see 146 something this round and to stay out of the 150's again. Ended high last round because of my anniversary dinner, but also saw new lows through out the challenge, so hopefully we can continue the downward trend.
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)
EW Rnd 75: 148.8 (10 day Avg 148.41)
05/03 - 147.3 back down to Wednesdays weight before my bloody Mary sodium gain, lol. I am ending this week with a 3/10 of a pound loss. Not exactly what I was wanting, but it is a loss so I will take it. My 5 day average was down almost a whole pound, 8/10 of a pound to be exact, but still good. The weekend is here and all I want to do is stay under 150! Happy Friday everyone!
05/04 - 148.2 had a couple beers with dinner last night and ate super late, but ate super low calorie. Should be back down tomorrow. Water water and more water and no alcohol!
05/05 - 148.8 what can I say it’s the weekend. Had pizza for lunch(only 1 piece) and tacos and rice for dinner. Not even close to enough water and not one vegetable or fruit all day. Running errands and will be restocking the house for the week today.
05/06 - 151.0 Weekends are always a killer for me. 3.7 pounds up from Friday. I did have steak last night, which I try and stay away from because it seems like it stays in my system for a while and takes longer to digest. I should be down by Tuesday or Wednesday.
05/07 - 149.1 And there goes most of that steak weight. It does it to me every time, but I love it! Oh well, headed back in the right direction. Half way through this round and still looking for a new low. My 2nd oldest graduates next week and my plan was to be below 145, I don't see that happening, so hopefully I can get within a pound or so of that.
05/08 - 147.9 And there goes the rest of my steak dinner. Good day with water and food yesterday and on track for today. My 10 day average is up right now and so is my trend weight. Need the next couple of days to be really good to get that back down. That 151 through everything off so working hard to see a 146.xxx and to get my trend weight down a couple of ounces. 4 days left to do that!
05/09 - 146.7 I have finally reached a new low, lol and just with that 1 number my trend weight is going back in the right direction. I have done really well all week and was hoping for a decent size drop this time around. Had a really busy morning so didn't eat lunch till about 3 this afternoon and I am only at about 350 calories for today. I am going to try and get 1 of my snacks in now and eat a decent dinner tonight and hopefully balance out. If I can hold this number or see another small drop by Sunday I would be thrilled!
05/10 - 146.5 I'll take it. Had a drink (but only 1) before dinner with my hubby to celebrate my son's last day of high school! We now have 2 that have graduated and are officially adults (graduation on Thursday), 3 more to go, lol. Had a good dinner and finished the night within calories. We have our daughters choir banquet tonight, so hopefully there is something I can eat that is somewhat within my calorie allowance. Making today another low calories day to bank some for tonight just in case.
5/11 - 146.5 the number stuck so I’m happy! Shopping, cleaning, and laundry are on my schedule today. For Mother’s Day I told my husband I just want to relax and watch movies. He is even in charge of all meals. So super busy today, but my husband will be at work so that makes my Saturday a lot easier, lol.

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.
5/9-No Scale-Lots 13,000 steps doing yard work at my uncles cabin in high altitude.
5/10-163-I leave today and will not take a scale but will check in and report on my activities. Will be weed wacking a lot!
5/11-No Scale.We got to our old house and I got on the hill with my weed eater and worked for almost 4 hours. Today, our big boys (20&22) will come to town to help us and celebrate my birthday. I can’t wait to see them! We still have 80% of the hill left to do. I love doing this though, my husband thinks I am crazy, but I work hard and sweat like a dog and it feels good!😃
I am glad you are all here!☕️😊8 -
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.

May 3 - 175.2 - I started swim lessons last night again. I haven’t been in the water since my last set ended in August. This is a stroke improvement class and this instructor is probably the best I have had. Weight is funnily low today, not sure how much I trust it, but it was nice to see.
May 4 - 179.4 - I don’t believe my scales anymore. I have changed the battery and the fluctuations are still a bit insane. I guess I’ll have to break down and get another one. I was expecting to be a bit up today though because yesterday was not a good eating day.
May 5 - 176.2 - I had a good day yesterday. Stayed within my calorie goals and got a little exercise in.
May 6 - 175.6 - had a good day yesterday calories were a bit over and sugar intake was definitely higher than normal.
May 7 - 176.2 - another fairly decent day yesterday. I need to buy some groceries today and get other things besides carbs in the house.
May 8 - 176.4 - I was hungry all evening last night I don’t know why. I managed to stay within calories but it was a struggle.
May 9 - 175.0 - had a great eating day and got some exercise in!
May 10 - 176.4 - I don’t know how accurate my scale is, it also showed 169.4 this morning but I don’t trust it.
May 11 - 178.0 - today marks 10 years that I have been smoke free. Now to get my weight where I want it to be. Yesterday was a long day after a near sleepless night Thursday. Carbs were high.11 -

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
05/09 181.0 lb 15,687 steps were tracked yesterday and I had 52 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. I was eating well until my boyfriend asked me to bring him home some French fries and those basically became dinner #2. I'm not unhappy about it because he hardly ever asks me to bring him anything and the scale still shows a loss. I'm off from work today and plan to walk the dog, do some yard work, and do level one from the 30 Day Shred.
05/10 181.0 lb 13,101 steps were tracked and 42 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. I missed my workout because we had a handyman stop by to assess some water damage under our bathroom sink. It's stained but solid, so there's no immediate need to fix it. I cleaned the charcoal grill and grilled my first steak ever while the dog played in the backyard. We enjoyed marinated flank steak, tomato salad, and grilled garlic bread for dinner and it's a meal I'm looking forward to making again this summer. I WILL be going to the gym this afternoon and I WON'T have more than one beer tonight. 🍺
05/11 182.0 lb I WENT to the gym and I had ONE beer! 😁 I walked 15,372 steps and had at least 60 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. It was definitely more than that though because we went out for pho before catching a late night showing of Detective Pikachu and I refilled my teacup about 6 times. We've got yardwork and dog walking planned for today and I'm thinking salmon for dinner with our leftover fried rice.

OSW: 201lb
GW: 168lb (12 stone)
Next sub-GW: 182lb (13 stone)
Round Goal (my first round!): -3lb
(My scales round to the nearest pound)
Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 - 187lb - had take out the night before so this is actually a 1lb gain on the previous day.
05/04 - 186lb - back to what I was on 05/02 which makes sense
05/05 - 185lb - unexpected but yay! Had a good day with lots of walking yesterday and made a delicious (for my cooking anyway) low-calorie adapted Moussaka.
05/06 - 185lb - reasonably good day yesterday, stayed well within calorie goal and went for a walk.
05/07 - 185lb (though the scales jumped between 184 and 185 a couple of times so can't be too far off!). Good day yesterday again, made it to the gym though my back isn't too happy about that. Eating out this evening so we will see what that does to this number...
05/08 - 187lb - yep I deserve that. Massive meal, cider, loads of salt and I forgot to weigh in before I drank half a pint of water... It'll drop in a day or two but yeahhhh that's a bump.
05/09 - 184 lb - wowza! I knew yesterday's was artificially high but didn't expect a 3lb change! I'll take it . Might be slightly artificially low as I feel thirsty but we will find out tomorrow!
05/10 - 184lb - well it's not thirst! And I didn't have the greatest sticking-to-plan yesterday but did pretty good without compromising on social activities so I'm happy with that! I want to keep this number (or lower, you know...) until the 12th!
05/11 - 184lb - didn't make great food choices but did burn energy dancing so hopefully it all balanced out! Scale was jumping between 183 and 184 so *maybe* not too far off 183lb! Want to keep 184 or below for tomorrow so I hit my goal! 🤞

Round 76:
45yo, 5’1”
All time highest weight: 206
MFP SW (this time): 148
1st GW: 125 by July 1
UGW: 115 – 120 by August 1
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.
5/9: No Scale / - / 10,567. Still feeling like … I don’t even have a good descriptor. Have a good day y’all.
5/10: 130.4 / -0.2 / 5,404. Starting to feel better, but kind of weak. Skipped my walks and had a measly 5,404 steps. On the up side, even though I ate and kept fluids in my weight didn’t go up like I thought it would. Dehydration sucks, but I hope I’m going back to normal. I even had a bit of an appetite yesterday. Yay me!
5/11: 131.6/ +1.2/ didn’t wear tracker/ After being sick, I was just seriously hungry. I’d hoped to get out of the 130s this round, but doesn’t look good.

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!
05/09 – 143 – Expect fluctuations for no good reason! On the plus side, I had a Dr. appt. yesterday and I weighed 145, fully dressed, after I had eaten lunch. Also, since my weight loss, my blood pressure has been so good that I haven’t had to take blood pressure pills for the past 10 months and it was confirmed yesterday.
05/10 – 142.5 – I did not drink enough water yesterday and with the weekend coming up, I’ll have to be careful with my calories today.
05/11 - 143 - My water and calories were good yesterday, but we did eat a lot later than usual. My daughter is having Mother's Day for me tonight and we're getting some local fried chicken that has been a Mother's Day tradition in my family since the 1960's. I think they still use the same grease, haha. I know my weight will be up tomorrow, but I'm going to enjoy myself because I now have the tools to keep from repeating the pattern of over-eating.

Round 76 (my 8th)Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4OSW 382

Round 74 -4.4 pounds 343.6-339.2
Round 75 -3.4 pounds 339.2-335.8
RSW 335.8
If all goes well this round I will be within fractions of a pound from a 50 pound loss. My goal this round is to get as close to that marker as possible.
05/03 335.8 Staying the same is fine with me. I had a higher sodium day yesterday and am having back spams since late last night. My energy level is back up, which will be nice once my back lets up.
05/04 334.8 There’s the after tom drop. My back is doing a lot better after a day of tlc and I’ll probably take it easy again today. Today is family movie day and I’m hopeful of limiting or even avoiding the popcorn this time.
05/05 333.8 My usual continued drop after tom, sometimes the whole drop stays, sometimes I have a bounce back up. I guess I’ll see what the next few days bring.
05/06 333 Another nice drop, but trends suggest that I will have a bounce back up in a day or two.
05/07 333.6 I’m not surprised by the bounce up I was expecting it. I was also over hungry yesterday and had to work not to just eat and eat. I shifted today to have a little more protein and see if I can have a smoother day.
05/08 333.6 I’ll see another drop in a day or two as I was more active yesterday.
05/09 333.4 Only a small drop, but that’s better than a gain. I’m on track for the week both with my weight and walking.
05/10 333 I’m surprised by a loss. I splurged and went over calories yesterday and I have a very sore back/chest muscle. I’m betting I’ll see any gain from the splurge tomorrow. My nsv was that a coat I had collecting dust is no longer tight on me.
05/11 334.2 I was expecting this up swing. I know that it’s from a splurge plus sore muscles and that it will be gone soon. I had a similar upswing the last few months at around this point in the month. Now that I’m aware of this possibility I can prepare for it next month and plan for the salt/sugar cravings.
