Day/Weight/Comment
6/2: 193.4 (A slight gain which is expected on the weekend. I had a graduation party I went to last night so I ate a controlled amount that I preplanned. No workout yesterday as well. I really want to make my goal this round so I can get a gym membership!)

6/3: 192.8 (I had a very tough time during my 5K training last night. Part of my running is uphill since the areas around my house are very hilly and around my entire town. 3 of the minutes I am panting for breath but getting more and more used to it. I still was able to do 6 minutes of continuous jogging which is a very huge success. Last night I made potato corn chowder for dinner.)

6/4: 191.2 (It's on the way down! I am at my last Friday weigh in and I'm hoping to finally see the 190's tomorrow? Maybe? Crossing my fingers! I made poblano chicken with rice last night and I did a 30 minute TurboFire workout.)

6/5: 190.4 (Finally the 190's!!! I've been waiting for like a month for this and now it's here and I was so close to making my goal! I did a 5K training workout yesterday. The plan I have has me doing a recovery week so I had to run 3 minutes instead of 6 yesterday, which was super easy. I made chicken noodle soup and garlic bread last night. Yum!)

6/6: 189.4 (I am in the 180's! New decade and I can now get a gym membership as my reward! I am going to a LA Fitness by my house to sign-up tomorrow and I can't wait to finally get some classes in! I'm so happy I stuck with it after having a tough month with hardly any new lows. Last night I did a 55 minute TurboFire workout and ate some pork chops with potatoes. Now onto my next goal )

6/7: 189.0 (Another drop in weight I was not expecting since I'm SUPER sore from my TurboFire workout 2 days ago and my very difficult uphill 6 minute jog with a 24 minute walk. I'm hurting all over! I had pizza for dinner last night and some popcorn. My hubby and I were catching up on a show last night and it's almost Friday, so why not! I lost a total of 30.2 pounds today and that is a huge accomplishment for me!)

6/8: 189.8 (I went to a Mexican restaurant with a friend to catch up and for the first time I had a skinny margarita which was super good! I ate half of my food and had a coup of soup. Overall, I think that was successful! I didn’t do a workout yesterday.)

6/9: 191.6 (I’m so sore from yesterday’s first workout at the gym! I did the cardio kickboxing class and gosh everything hurts! I went out last night to a French restaurant and had some steak frites on a rooftop restaurant in downtown LA. It was so beautiful!)

Day/Weight/Comment
6/2 148, traveling yesterday in a car so ate within calories. but ate McDonald’s for lunch and pizza for dinner so salt was more than usual. I tweaked my neck sleeping so hopefully will feel better in the afternoon to go workout
6/3 147.5, today will be busy, but everything is prepped so should be a good day
6/4 147.6, going to mini golf after work with some colleagues. I managed to get a strength and conditioning class and 60 minutes on elliptical so hoping to be closer to my end weight of round 78 by the end of the week.
6/5 147.2, managed to be good with diet until dinner last night. Going to the opera tonight and having dinner nearby (already picked out what I’m eating). Not as sore as I usually am after a strength class so probably can fit in a 60 minute elliptical machine workout
6/6 146.5, hoping to stay as good on my diet and exercise plan through the weekend. Finally back to where I was at the end of round 78 (although I think that weight was an outlier since my moving average line is still going down at 147)
6/7 146, some days I get discouraged with how slow the weight loss process is and I feel like the number on the scale doesn’t reflect how hard I’m working. This particular challenge is good for helping through those days because I’m inspired by so many others who are trying to do the same thing I am- be healthier and stronger
6/8 146.6, given the way I ate and drank yesterday night I’m pretty happy with this number. I went with a friend to see a musical and we had dinner at a Mexican restaurant and shared some appetizers and drinks. Really fun and not typical so going back to normal diet today and tomorrow. Really hoping to end round with a 145.x, but will be hard since round ends so close to a weekend.
6/9 146.5, did 60 minutes on amt machine and 20 minutes on weight equipment. I ate really well, but still think my Friday habits are causing me to hold on to same weight. Today will be closer to yesterday so only a matter of time before I see the 145 number.

Starting Smoothie Cleanse this week to get SERIOUS! Got in here a day late and am already up another 1.9. Was not good this weekend AT ALL and not going to continue going this direction!

Goals

• 5 runs and 10 walks!
• Not to be an asshat cuz I'm hungry!
• Remember why I am doing this!

2-Jun... 189.2...0.0

3-Jun... 190.8... 1.6

4-Jun... 188.2...-2.6
Having some serious back pain. But still getting in some exercise! Walking off 150 cals. Thank God for the Smoothie Cleanse

5-Jun... 185.8...-2.4
Saw the doc.. have to ride it out. Smoothie Cleanse is working with a 5 lb loss in 2 days. Doc said last time I weighed showed I am down 28 lbs... can't believe that.

6-Jun... 183.8... -2
Smoothie Cleanse to the rescue. Down another 2 lbs for a total loss on the cleanse in 3 days to 7 lbs and down 5.4 for this JGM10 challenge. The weekend is coming and hubby is cooking A LOT of food for church and have a date with some friends on Friday. Will drink my smoothie while there, stick to fruits and veggies for munchies and bring ONE bottle of prosecco. It's my go-to at 90 cals a glass so if I go overboard, it won't completely derail my success. NO MEAT, NO WINE and NO BEER... just my smoothie and the snacks allowed!

7-Jun... 183.4... -0.4
Long hours yesterday. Didn't get home until 8 PM then dishes, floors, and crawl into bed after smoothie. Idiot me drank some detox tea at almost 9 PM and couldn't fall asleep. Gotta be good tonight. Don't want to give ANY weight back.

8-Jun...182... -1.4
Did ok last night. Kept to the veggies, but drank a little more than I should. Really happy with almost 9 lb loss in 6 days on the cleanse. Dealing with a lot of pain in my back so still not running and no walk today. Bummed about that, but have to get it healed. Stretched once, will do it again.

9-Jun... 181.6... -0.4
Tried going to bed early and in too much pain. Tossed, turned, moved to couch, then recliners, then back to bed, finally asked hubby for a pain pill at 1 AM. This is just bizarre because I haven't done anything to it so just don't know what's going on. Had 4 cocktails to quiet it while watching a couple movies with hubby. Going to just stick to pain pills today to keep it at bay.

Female, 5' 4 1/2 " age 53

Joining a bit late this round, but I know better than to wait to start until the next one!!

Hi. My name is Trina. I started this challenge round 54, was pretty consistent, and then got lost somewhere mid Round 74. The scale slowed down a bit, but now I think I am on the move again. I am now 6-8 pounds till goal weight, and hoping to get there in the next couple of months. Trying to keep focused on losing, while also looking ahead to maintenance. I've been feeling great, and feeling great exercising, and not feeling food restricted, so all of those things are good! Let's all have a wonderful 10 days of making great choices!!

Day/Weight/Comment

6/2 DNW Spent the day helping my son pack his dorm room into the car and then a long drive. Ran around campus a bunch before driving, so got plenty of steps

6/3 DNW Not many steps. Drove from Virginia to Alabama. Stuck to low carb breakfast, car snacks and dinner.
6/4 138 So excited to see this number after 10 days travel with no scale and eating with others!
6/5 137.5
6/6 136
6/7 135 Totally doing the happy dance by the way!!! (This could be off, as I went to bed with no supper last night as I felt kind of off!)
6/8 136.5 Still happy. Staying under 137! Pushups this morning, 4 mile (slow) run, and then hour of zumba!
6/9 138 Sadness. Apparently I just started weighing again on a low! I always bounce around, although I prefer not to! Hoping this is just DOMS. I'm pretty sore from Friday's workout. Ate some cake yesterday, but still had extra calories at the end of the day.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/2--207.0 It was actually weird this morning to get up and not go to the gym, I usually go today and workout on my own but since my hip is hurt my my trainer does not want me to work out by myself...I can't wait to go to PT on Tuesday and hopefully get some answers. I did go out for a short walk this morning and will go out again today, but I still need to be careful. Going to work at getting water in today.
6/3--206.7 Don't know if this weight will stick. Didn't drink much water today, I'm just hoping to hold steady with my weight until I figure out what is going on with my hip.
6/4--206.7
6/5--206.5 Went to PT yesterday. The PT said that my hip is not going to get any worse and a lot of the pain I am feeling is because I am hypersensitive to the injury since this is my first injury ever. I worked out with my trainer and included the PT exercises and my hip is feeling better already. But most importantly the worry that there's something more to my hip pain and that I may not be able to ever run/hike/bike again is now gone.
6/6--205.9 Was stressed yesterday and did some evening snacking. First time in awhile that I've done that much snacking, luckily there isn't that much snack food in the house so it could have been worse. I've been doing the PT exercises and so far so good...trainer tonight.
6/7--207.0 Not surprised about the bump up since I've been eating closer to maintenance the last couple of days. Going out for lunch today and then out to happy hour later...working to get my water in today.
6/8--207.6 Not surprised about the jump after happy hour yesterday. Going to see nutritionist today and going to take the dog out for a long walk.
6/9--207.8 Went to the gym today and used the pool...it was great and I will definitely need to use the pool more often. Had a massage today. Today is organizing day...hubby and I are going to organize the laundry/storage area and then I plan on going through my closet. Need to get my water in today.

Age: 55

Recovering from abdominal hysterectomy and benign tumor removal on 4/02/2019. I see a nutritionist since my activity is low to non-existent with 12 week recovery.

Round 78 SW 183.4 - EW 181.2

OSW - 201.1 (Feb. 2019)
RSW - 181.2
RGW - 179.0
UGW - 135-140

Day/Weight/Comment
06/02 - 181.2 - I had a 2.2 lb loss on my first round. I have areas to improve and weekends tend to be the most challenging for me. I'm slowly getting used to being back at work and need to increase my stamina to walk in the evening.

06/03 - 182.2 - Most likely the weekend catching up with me. I need to be more disciplined. I'll get there.

06/04 -

06/05 - 182.0 - I was a little better yesterday, however, still room for improvement. The weekend comes so quickly and I better have a game plan in place for it!

06/06 -
06/07 -

06/08 - 181.5 - Well I am almost at my starting weight from the beginning of the round. I am making better food choices and drinking more water.

06/09 - 181.3 - I'll take any downward momentum

06/10 - 183.0 - I'm not sure why exactly the significant increase. I thought I was doing a little better this weekend. I'm patient and just thankful the number is not higher since surgery. If I can maintain (prefer to lose) while recovering ... I'll take as a win. I have not done much in the way of exercise. So food choices are everything right now. No pressure

Day - Weight - Comment
06/02 - 136.1 (-0.7) - still expect fluctuations. I am feeling bloated and retaining water. TOM weight should shed in a few days or so. Food was healthy and within cals, exercise cardio (lots of it) and strength training, 16 glasses of water. Staying on track regardless of the scale. My body shows a lot of changes even though the scale doesn’t reflect them.
06/03 - 136.3 (+0.2) - Drop any day now🤞🏻
06/04 - 136.1 (-0.2) - nice little drop but hopefully I see a bigger drop soon.
06/05 - 135.4 (-0.7) - lots of cardio the last few days and TOM is over so finally a good drop! Hopefully it sticks and I can continue the trend for the rest of the round.
06/06 - 136.6 (+1.2) - very sore today and ate later than normal. DOMS. Slow and steady is the name of the game these days. Still have a decent loss per week which I work out to about .8lbs. Being so close to goal it has been a bit of an adjustment learning to deal with smaller losses but it’s still moving in the right direction.
06/07 - 137.5 (+0.9) - extremely bloated. Not sure why but definitely a contributing factor.
06/08 - 137.3 (-0.2) - water weight still. I’m feeling the pump from strength training and some DOMS. Should come down shortly.
06/09 - 138.9 (+1.6) - no clue what’s going on. I’m eating healthy. I’m working out. I’m drinking my water. Just going to ride this out hopefully it comes down soon. Never had it creep up so much even with DOMS and water retention.

I’m ready for June and to get going on another round. I have absolutely no plans of traveling or taking time off of work in this round, so hoping to make some progress and see a new low! Would love to finally see that ever allusive 145.xxx!



06/2 - 148.7 same as yesterday which means I did well on a Saturday. Need to make some progress this month so I am really going to try and be good.

06/3 - 148.7 yeah!! Stayed the same through the weekend. On track today so far and hoping to see 147 something tomorrow. My daughter turns 17 today officially so we are doing enchiladas and cheesecake for dinner. Saving all my calories today for tonight and may only have a bite of the dessert. I am also doing my enchiladas without tortillas so that should save me on some of the carbs.

06/4 - 148.7 Still (4th day in a row), WTH! Stuck to my plan for dinner. I did my enchiladas over a bed of lettuce while everybody else had normal ones and I only had 3 bites of cheesecake without chocolate or caramel sauce versus an entire piece. Did well with water and no alcohol.

06/5 - 147.7 Finally some movement on the scale and luckily it's in the right direction! Staying on track and hoping for the best this month. I am 1.2 pounds away from my lowest weight last month (146.5), so waiting to see if I can make it back there this round. I ate a banana this morning for breakfast because I was running late and almost fell over when I entered it and found out how many carbs and calories there are in them. Guess I won't be grabbing that on the go anymore, should have taken the green apple. Oh well, lesson learned.

06/6 - 147.7 Well I can say this has probably been the most consistent round I have ever had. My hubby picked me up from work for a surprise lunch today and I am happy to say I did not blow the entire day. I had a burger wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun and a side salad instead of fries at Red Robin. It was not as good as the alternative, but I am really trying to break through this plateau I have been on. I have been super good, so I did what I needed to do. Hopefully I can see a pretty good drop soon. I have started tracking my steps as of yesterday too, so I am working up to 10,000 steps a day.

06/7 - 147.1 My scale couldn't really decide what it wanted to settle on. So I picked the middle number. It went from 147.7 all the way down to 146.8 and then 147.1. After my husband surprised me with lunch yesterday, he then decided he wanted sushi for dinner (my favorite but a killer on my sodium level). For some reason he really thinks he likes it, but decides every time he doesn't, so it's a rare occasion we ever eat it. He is so funny some times, he was in a weird mood all day yesterday. On track today with food/water and working on my step count. I didn't realize how hard it would be to get 10,000 steps a day as an accountant, but I'm trying. Today during a 15 minute conference call, I did laps in my office around my desk and chair. I ended up making a little obstacle course yesterday with different things in my office to get some extra steps. Yesterday I ended with just over 7,000, so my goal is to get at least 7, 500 - 8,000 today. I have to find creative ways to move and walk when I work at a computer for 8-9 hours a day.

06/8 - 147.1 did good yesterday. Only did about 6700 steps, so I will have to do better. Had issues all day at work, so getting up and doing laps was really hard. Getting ready for my sons graduation party today. So lots of shopping and cooking are on my to do list. We are expecting about 50-60 people so should be a good day. Cooking is my downfall, because I taste test everything about 20 times. So I’m going to try and be really good today and control my snacking/taste testing while I cook.

06/9 - 149.7 up a lot today, but was expected! Did well on food, but drank way more beer than I should have and had 0 glasses of water after about 5 last night. We also went to bed very late and was up bright and early this am to clean up. We had a blast though and have completed the only other big event we had to do this month. Last weekend we celebrated my daughters 17th birthday and this weekend we had my sons graduation party. Two weekends in a row it’s been crazy. I’m ready for a peaceful weekend, lol. 2 days left and would love a really good whoosh! We will see!

Day/Weight/Comment

06/02 – 144.5 – No surprise, we had family over that we hadn't seen in several months and they wanted Chinese and pizza. What the grandson wants, the grandson gets and I couldn’t pass it up. I'll have to work extra hard this week to make up for the extra calories.
06/03 – 144 – I ate much better today, but I have Monday’s off work during the summer and I can’t seem to get my water in when I’m home. Hopefully it doesn’t go back up tomorrow.
06/04 - 143 – Nice to see after a long weekend!
06/05 – 143 – I’m glad to see there was not a bounce this morning. Now to try to get down another half pound or so before another party we’re having on Saturday.
06/06 - 143 – I bundled up 10 trash bags of clothes sized from 12 to 18 and put them out for donation pick up this morning. Now if I gain back any significant weight, I will be forced to pay for it in more than one way.
06/07 – 142.5 – Nice start to the weekend.
06/08 – 143.5 – Late night dinner with plenty of salt. We’re having a party tonight so I’ll watch what I eat today and try to drink plenty of water.
06/09 – 144 – I didn’t do too bad at the party last night.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

***My 9th Round!***
10 DAY GOALS: (1) Create a new 200-calorie deficit for 7 days. NOTE: Last round, I ate 1300 calories OVER my limit on the very last day after receiving some bad health news about my mother. This was the same day I finally broke into the 130s. So I'm creating a short-term (one week) additional deficit of 200 calories through diet AND MOVEMENT that will make up for those extra calories. (2) 35 grams net carbs or less (3) 16-hour fast most days

SW this round (6/1): 139.4 (BINGE DAY)
Day/Weight/Comment
06/02 143 (+3.6 lbs). Got some bad health news about my mom and ate everything in sight yesterday. Sigh. Will now have to work to make up for it this entire round instead of getting into the 130s as I'd hoped. "Bonus" (ha!) calorie deficit day 1/7 completed.
06/03 142.4 (-0.6) Moving in the right direction again. Calorie deficit day 2/7 completed.
06/04 142 (-0.4) Feeling great about this and hoping tomorrow is more of the same. Calorie deficit day 3/7 completed.
06/05 141.4 (-0.6) Such a bizarre eating day! Went out for Indian at lunchtime- more carbs, more calories, more everything than I usually eat. It was to treat my 84-year old grandmother, who's visiting from across the country. Then I simply couldn't eat for the rest of the day. Calorie deficit day 4/7 completed because I only ate one meal.
06/06 140.8 (-0.6) Ended up not getting to bed until 3 a.m. due to pain and nausea yesterday (today?), and ate so oddly that I wasn't sure what to expect. Glad to be nearly back to my pre-binge low weight. Calorie deficit day 5/7 completed.
06/07 140.8 (-0.0) Calorie deficit day 6/7 completed. When I get back to 139, I'll know my plan worked and will bump up to my normal calories, but if I don't get there by day 7, I'll bump up anyway. Interesting to see if/how the math works, n=1. Only one day to go and then my little experiment is up. I'm back, I did it!
06/08 140.8 (-0.0) Calorie deficit day 7/7 completed!
06/09 139.6 (-1.2) Recap: I finished Round 78 at 139.4, and had a super junky binge that same day after getting some scary health news about my mom (explanation, NOT excuse!). I've been working off the resulting 3.6 lbs since then, and here I am, back to where I started. I'm trying to learn from this little episode, not just for me but for anyone who's been following along (reading your ups and downs certainly helps to educate me on this tough and often uncertain journey, so I can only hope it's reciprocal). Here's what I've gleaned thus far:
(1) It took me a week to work off 1 binge day! I need to remember that next time I'm tempted to overdo it. Am I willing to invest a whole week to make up for one day off my plan? Nah, better to continue working in my treats daily and watch my overall calories.
(2) Mathematically, there's no way my extra 1300-1400 calories over my normal intake that binge day resulted in 3.6 lbs of fat, and that's even clearer when you consider it took me only 7 days of cutting an additional 200 calories from my already-reduced eating plan to lose the weight. If my estimation is on target, I gained a "real" 1.5-1.8 lbs and the rest was water retention and food weight. Lesson: remember not to freak out so much from an overnight gain.*gonna have to remember this tomorrow if scale goes up to 140s as I'm bumping up calories to normal today!
(3) Emotional eating can mean many things, and I don't necessarily think having comfort foods is a bad thing (the "Mentally Healthy Foods" post on MFP is a great example), but overeating out of stress 'ain't worth it.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/02: 145.7 Had been bouncing around from 145.8 to 147.x last 10 days week so happy to see a drop again. Today was my "rest" day but still did a slow routine on the elliptical using the Zone app to target HR, then lots of stretching and some ab routines. Swam a couple of laps (actually feeling better getting in a bathing suit in public) and realized that default workout app in Apple Watch does not track laps with a kick board, so looking into alternatives. Still trying to loosen up quads after the HIIT workout yesterday, so won't be surprised if weight does not go down or actually goes up tomorrow! Ate well today - dinner was grilled grouper, homemade guacamole & chips (measured to control carbs!), cabbage slaw with pumpkin seeds and rose.

06/03: 145.7 Yeah!!!! Weight did not go up - I needed that after last week's trend that looked more like a kid's version of the Rocky Mountains in profile. Plus I caved and had some more tortilla chips at 11 pm :-() In any case don't think it put me much over calorie budget! Quads felt looser after the spin class this am, but I decided to give the leg machines a rest today to let the quads recover some more and pick that up later in the week. I may switch the order and do weights for chest/upper back/arms later this evening. So far calories/macros good for the day, so hoping for a decrease for tomorrow! Half-way point is only 2.2 pounds away! So close, yet so far!

06/04: 143.7 wow - 2 lb drop!!!! Definitely a whoosh and will probably bounce back up a bit tomorrow, but will still take delight as any gain tomorrow is likely going to be water (as long as I stay in control for dinner/evening eating!) and now within 0.2 lbs of my short term goal of reaching midpoint to ultimate goal weight!!!! Went to circuit class last night rather than do weights so had a pretty intensive cardio day yesterday (total "active energy" based on Apple watch was 1220, which also includes walking, etc). Held off today on weights for legs, and just focused on arms/upper body this am. Less intensive cardio so far so may try to work in a short HIIT session on the spin bike before pilates later on.

06/05: 143.6 OK it is a small drop and holding steady after the whoosh, but really expected it to go up!!! Extremely happy that I am within 0.1 lbs of my midpoint weight!!!! Particularly thrilled since I had pasta (half of the size that I use to eat, but still satisfying - radiatore with fresh tomatoes, shrimp, olive oil, garlic and basil) so was wondering if higher carbs would lead to more water retention. Macros were all within usual bounds, with just more carbs at dinner, so not really an excess of carbs. Now last week I did have a 1+ lb increase after having carbs + heavy leg weight training, as well as the day when I had heavy leg weight training and no pasta/lower carbs so it might suggest that my weight is more sensitive to the weight training than variations in carb sources (most days carbs are vegetables/fruits/dairy sources). Today I had heavy leg weight training (but lower carbs for the day), so will be interested in weight tomorrow. Prediction right now is that it will increase. Will continue to collect the data as it is difficult to generalize based on small amounts of data!

06/06: 144.2 Went up as I had expected might be the case. Seems to be a response with the heavy weight training for legs, as was within calorie goals (well as close as I can be and did weigh the salmon and other items yesterday as well as prepare all of my own food). Even though weight went up by 0.6, I am still down 2.8 lbs over the last 7 days, so actually above my goal of 1-2 lbs a week. It will even out, but impatient to get to my midpoint weight! Needed to hook bra on middle set of hooks today (first drop there since February) so at least the clothes indicate improvement! Primarily cardio today - step class and may do tabata later and some weights for upper body. Need to work more on upper body strength as not as strong there as with legs.

06/07: 144.2 Holding steady, but still a reasonable drop for the week and figure it will go back down. Spin class for 45 minutes and flexibility/light weights this morning. Today was the kids last day of school so went out for lunch and ordered a beet salad with greens and grilled shrimp. Shrimp were fine, but the salad was soaked in a too sour balsamic vinaigrette that I just couldn't eat - so disappointed. The arugula salad on the kids avocado toast was slightly better but still too vinegary for my taste. Tonight kids have a sleep over so we are going out to our favorite sushi restaurant. Will probably order the omakase and have wine, so may see a bump up tomorrow but need a break after the lunch today! (will skip the dessert likely)

06/08: 143.9 Yeah!!! a drop even though had extra wine and rice with sushi last night (but well worth it !!!!) Step class this morning, but felt a slight cramp in my calf/hamstring so not at 100% for class and still a bit sore - tomorrow is my rest day and then we are going on vacation for a week so will have plenty of time for it to work itself out. Short round of tree weights at home. Fresh seared scallops with saffron porcini risotto for dinner so currently at goal for calories (possibly over as added fresh shiitake mushrooms to recipe so volume for a serving was a bit off). Will see what scale tomorrow says, but main goal is to eat what I enjoy (occasional risotto and pasta :-) and keep losing at a reasonable pace, while not feeling hungry/low energy to be able to exercise!!!!

06/09: 143.8 Another little drop, so in the right direction even with the rich dinner last night! Still trying to get back to where I was earlier in the week. Today was my rest day, so no cardio or weights, although might try to get in an ab routine before watching "Big Little Lies".

Round 1
SW 185
GW under 155


06/02 didn’t come across this challenge until June 3

06/03- 182.6: decent day, no sweets.

06/04- 181.6: horrible eating day. Started off really well but worked from home and ate a ton of junk. I paid for it later with an upset tummy 😠 . New day tomorrow

06/05 - 180.6: made up for yesterday's poor eating day. I did have some chocolate but it was within my calorie allotment. Working from home again today and will try to keep my eating under control. I've been trying to get more sleep too but had to stay up for the basketball game - GO RAPTORS!

06/06 -180. Trying to drink water. A bit snacky and despite going over my calories, I still dropped. I am hoping to loose one more pound by June 11.

07/06 - 180. Did well not snacking last night, especially because I was watching the raptor game and there was chocolate out. The tough part will be this weekend when I'm around the house. I'd really like to get down to 178 by June 22nd. It will be a battle because PMS will set it before then and I tend to get really bloated. Need to investigate into food that will help curb bloating.

08/06 - 180.4. Poor day snacking. Weekends are hard

09/06 - 180 Made up for yesterday with no sweets and better food choices today. Stayed under my calories and no late night snacking. Hoping to get under 180 by Friday this week.

Ready for my round 16
OSW 88KG
RSW 69.4 kg (-18. 6 kg) or {- 40.9 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started

06/02 69.4kg still. I usually blip up after a loss but I haven't so far. Maybe I will when I'm back to work next week. Trying not to.
06/03 69.4kg is still making me happy.
06/04 69.4kg. I'm still not exercising and my body is recovering. I'll start running next week but I'll play netball this evening.
06/05 69.9kg for no reason except for exercise yesterday. Calories under and macros good.
06/06 70kg still no reason for the rise so with some patience it should come down again
06/07 69.4kg back here again. Still keeping calories under and macros good.
06/08 69.1 kg and a bit of 68.8 with scale being weird. All good either way!
06/09 68.9kg. So 0.5 gone this week Sunday is official weigh in day. All going well but going to reintroduce exercise next week... Some gentle jogging and body weight exercises.
06/10 68.6kg. Had a cold and windy run this morning but I got back out there.

End game goal weight: 170 lbs
Starting weight for round 79: 210.6
Goal weight for end of round 79: 207

06/05 – 210.6 lbs. Weighed myself in the morning before eating or drinking anything. Ate Chana Masala and half a cup of rice for breakfast. Had coffee for lunch – I know, not a good lunch. Drank a lot of water starting after lunch. Cleaned the house a little, and had turkey chili for dinner with a garden salad and biscuit. Went over my sodium limit for the day, which is not ideal. Stayed under my calorie, carbs, fat, and sugar limits for the day. I usually do cardio every day, like power-walking, elliptical, or spin bike. However, today I was tired and didn’t work out.

06/06 - 210.5 lbs. I didn't expect my weight to change much. Drank a lot of water throughout the day. And again, I was lazy and didn't work out. Just cleaned around the house. On 06/03, before I joined this challenge, I ran for over an hour on my elliptical. I feel like it set me up for feeling extremely tired this week. (I have reactivated mono and it attacked my immune system, liver, and has taken a lot of my energy. I should know better not to over-stress my body by running for that long.) When I hit that runners' high, it's hard to stop.

06/07 - 210.0 lbs. Yeah! Losing! Woke up early this morning, fed the cats, and fed myself. An egg on toast with a sausage patty. Drank some Earl Grey tea and coffee. I made myself a green smoothie for lunch, had a chicken asian salad for dinner, and a slice of apple pie

06/08 - 209.8 lbs. Had a strange day today. Was extremely sleepy all day and took an 8 hour nap. Now it's 11pm and I'm tired again! I had breakfast for dinner and then had myself an at-home spa night lol. I was under my calorie goal for the day. Now I'm off to read and go to sleep. Stupid mono.

06/09 - Didn't get a chance to weigh myself, but I ate healthy today. I got to spend time outdoors with family and soaked up a lot of vitamin D I wasn't as sleepy or tired, which felt amazing!

R79 Goal: I'm on holiday for 3 days during this round and my goal is to stay in control, make good choices where possible and not over indulge - snacking is my weak point!
My overall aim for the whole month of June is to train consistently - with that should come the weight / inch loss.
Also... 10K steps a day and more water!

2/06 140.5lbs / 63.7kg (-3lbs /1.4kg) and 13,421 step
Over the moon! I usually weigh in at 6.30am but was camping last night so weighing in 4 hours late so this result is even better! I didn't touch a drop of alcohol last night and kept my calories in check, it has absolutely paid off!

3/06 141.5lbs / 64.1kg (+1lb / 0.4kg) and 5,693 steps
A bit disappointed to have gained because I was under my calorie goal yesterday, however we went out for dinner. I opted for naked gammon steaks so assuming sodium was high? Plus I didn't get my step goal yesterday. Ho hum, we march on! My 2 yo has impetigo and can't go to nursery so having an unscheduled day off. The weather in Glasgow, UK, is very wet and windy but I'm still going to go for a walk with the wee one and squeeze a workout in when he is napping.

4/06 139.75lbs / 63.4kg (-1.75lb / 0.7kg) and 11,778 steps
Happy with yesterday all round - food was good and filling meaning less snacking, I managed to get to the gym for a push session AND got my steps in, water was unusually good as well. Consistency is starting to pay off.

5/06 138.5lbs / 62.8kg (-1.25lbs / 0.6kg) and 12,165 steps
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? I really think this downward trend is too good to be true. Maybe it's because I haven't been so focussed for a while and it's paying off. Good day all round yesterday with being well under my calorie goal without feeling deprived - made a new recipe for Chicken Stuffed Zucchini Boats and it was so tasty! Good exercise day yesterday, getting my steps in and a Functional HIIT class. Going to try to start banking calories just in case there aren't lower calories choices when I am away this weekend. There is already talk of pub lunches and home baking BUT I've got this...I can keep focussed. Today's exercise is my new Pull programme the gym instructor created for me last week

6/06 137.25lbs / 62.3kg (-1.25lbs / 0.6kg) and 12,875 steps
A good day yesterday, I did fight hard to resist the temptation to eat my emotions last night but I stuck with an apple, go me! Exercise today is my usual walk to and from work, leg session at the gym at lunchtime followed by Functional HIIT after work.
I'm going away tomorrow for the weekend to visit family I haven't seen in over 15 years so I'm a bit nervous / excited (we called it 'nervited' when I was a Slimming World consultant). I'll weigh tomorrow morning when I get up at 4am but won't weigh again til Monday morning when I'm back. Going to enjoy my time away and continue making good choices. Have a great weekend!

7/06 139.5lbs / 63.2kg (+2.25lbs / 0.9kg)
Gain likely due to muscle soreness after 2 heavy gym sessions yesterday and salty dinner, also weighed 3 hours earlier than usual

10/06 141lbs / 63kg (+1.5lbs / 0.2kg)
Back from holiday and delighted with the small gain. Weekend with family was fantastic however i had very little water, didnt get out for walks because of torrential rain and last night's airport dinner was Burger King. Today's plan is water, water, more water! Walking my 2yo to nursery then off to the gym before I walk back home to do the housework catch up.

06/02: 200.6 - up a little but no exercise yesterday and eating out all day. Today will be the same.
06/03: 202.8 - agh!!
06/04: 202.0 - no exercise yesterday just lots of standing. Water ok but out for dinner again.
06/05: 200.2 - back to my start weight. Good day yesterday.
06/06: 200.0 - a little loss. 5k run yesterday and a 2k walk. Food was good but could have had more water.
06/07: 198.6 - much better. Good exercise, food and water yesterday. Now to hold on to that loss. Weekends are my downfall.
06/08: 199.4 - no exercise, picking all day and pizza for dinner, lots of water.
06/09: 198.4 - no exercise, food ok (calories not quality) and good with water
06/10: 198.2 - good exercise, plenty of water and quite good (for a weekend) foodwise. Delighted not to have gained over the weekend. Only one day left in this round and I want to be at 198.0,

I am 52 y/o 5’1.5” from PA, and need to get my focus again, I struggled with round 78 and ended with a small gain. I have a ways to go to reach my ultimate goal of 110lbs. Weight loss is harder as you get older but not impossible. It definitely is a life time change and it tends to slow down quicker, and every day is a struggle. In the end I will get this and not beat myself up over mistakes.

Ended the last round up after a few days eating take outs and ping meals as kitchen, lounge and dining room being plastered! Full on entertaining weekend with people round for a BBQ and daughter up from Wales to stay. Tried to stay on track but just didn't get round to weighing but back on the scales this morning and focused!
Late to the party but better late than never!

R78 Start Weight - 143.5lb

06/05 - 141.5lb (-2.0lb) - Happy with that after the end of last week and the weekend. Good place to start from and happy to get back to proper tracking! Just over 8 weeks till my holiday and would love to see 133lb .... So need to average 1lb a week which is definitely do-able (6 rounds including this one so 1.5lb per round).
End of R79 goal is 140...

06/06 - 139.7lb (-1.8lb) Well that dropped quicker than expected - guess that was a whoosh then!
Round target met so my aim now is to keep below 140 and head towards a round finish of 139.... Have a great Thursday

06/07 - 139.6lb (-0.1lb) Yay this weight is sticking around by the looks of it! Good food day planned, next weeks food planned and delivery coming today so all looking positive

06/08 - 139.6lb (STS)
06/09 - 138.9lb (-0.7lb) SSSooo happy to see this today Feel so good in myself when I am in control and logging consistently and the results show on the scale. Family dinner today but all food for today planned and within calories so should be good.
Happy Sunday everyone!

06/10 - 139.8lb (+0.9lb) I know its only that "post Sunday dinner weigh in" so not worried as was within calories apart from a gin and tonic I enjoyed after dinner as spent most of the weekend doping the mist coat on the newly plastered walls and ceilings! Sure the scale will be back to where it should be by Wednesday as usually takes a couple of days even if my end of round tomorrow may not be......

06/05: 164.8 TOM started. Exhausted this morning!

06/06: 162.8 whoosh! Odd because I felt bloated this morning. Got in a 4 mile walk yesterday. Eating was on point. Posting late as MFP community wasn't working this morning. I had my last golf lesson today and played 3 holes! Hoping it's the start of something.

06/07 162.8 always nice to see a new low 2 days in a row.

06/08: 163.4 Still happy with this. Homemade pizza last night and a cider. Still way under calories for activity/exercise and went to bed early! Today is a very busy and fun Saturday!

06/09: 164.4 oh goodness. Ate out, ballpark, not a lot of sleep. Not enough water. Repair mode today.

06/10: 163.4 Better. Yesterday was the best day of weather yet this spring. Outside all day and active.
