Round 79
I'm 32 and from Glasgow, Scotland
USW (July 2017) : 172 lbs / 78kg
R79 SW: 143.5 lbs / 65.1kg
R79 GW: 140 lbs / 63.5kg
GW: 133 lbs / 60.3kg
UGW: 126 lbs / 57.2kg

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

8/06 DNW / DNP

9/06 DNW / DNP

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.

06/03: 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.

06/09: 198.4 - no exercise, food ok (calories not quality) and good with water

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!

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......

06/06: 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.

This round my goal is to reach 205!

6/2 – DNW - Sundays are my active rest days! Went for a walk to the coffee shop in the morning and walked home from there. Ended the day with 14,809 steps!
6/3 – DNW - SAC test at my gym, finished the challenge in 19 minutes, 4 minutes longer than allowed but proud of myself for finishing! Next test is start of July, hoping to beat my current time! 15,222 steps
6/4 – DNW - Push, Pull day at the gym. 14,119 steps
6/5 – DNW - 45 minutes of burpees at the gym (DEAD) had tacos and ice cream with my family after. 15,349 steps
6/6 – 209.6 - 1 week back at exercise and tracking diligently every day. Disappointed to see the number move down only slightly. Tomorrow is my official weigh in day. 16,133 steps
6/7 –209.4 - still a little upset that I didn't even lose 1lb my first week. Trying not to let it slow me down, still got up and walked before work this morning and have gym plans tonight! Did partake in National donut day this morning but not going to let that throw off my whole day! 14,142 steps
6/8 –208.6 - moving in the right direction. Working out at 9 and hoping to stay pretty active today. I’d like to get my house cleaned, laundry done and grocery shop! Hoping the rain clears up and I can go on a nice afternoon walk and maybe to a church festival tonight! Anyone else love church festivals in the summer? Dumb games and “gambling” for days!!! 17,011 steps
6/9 –DNW - woke up later than normal after a fun night out with friends. pretty dehydrated and certainly ate and drank too much on Saturday. Went to the USMNT match and continued my eating and drinking from Saturday 10,702 steps
6/10 –210.5 - figured this would happen after a long weekend of eating and drinking. hoping to get my water and steps in today and make sure I make it to workout after work. Sweat out some of the weekend and get that number back down fast!

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.
06/10 – 143.5 – A little drop on a Monday morning is a good thing.

06/10 - 156.3 - I really didn't eat all that much during the weekend so I'm thinking this is water weight and I can feel the dehydration. The curse of being at friend's bbq and not wanting to inconvenience them. I drank my water I brought and then that was it. Plus I drove there with bf and they were working on his truck so I couldn't take it and go get some more water (tap water is sketchy at best otherwise I'd just drink that). Oh well, surprised I'm not higher but hopefully by tomorrow it'll come down for a loss this round.

Previous day's comments for R79

06/02
06/03 - Ended up cooking late last night for boyfriend and kids so stayed there instead. Should just invest in a scale for when I'm over there since I seem to be there more often than home anymore (yay, baseball!). Went to the lake yesterday and wore a swimsuit and didn't absolutely hate myself and try to stay covered. Felt a little self-conscious but kinda blew it off to have fun. And the swimming wore me out. I'm so sunburned though! Ouchie. Lots of lotion while at work and aloe when I get home. Started working my 9-80 schedule so 9 hour days Monday-Thursday and alternate Fridays between 8 hour days or off days. This is the first week so I have an 8 hour Friday and next week I'll have Friday off! Whoo! But long days. Gotta keep moving and staying awake at work.
06/04 - Ouch. I had a binge-fest last night. Took the new intern out on her first day for lunch with the group and ate entirely too much. Then I was walking around the plant so much yesterday I worked up an appetite and didn't have anything planned for dinner so just went crazy with straight carbs. Also dehydrated because its 100-something degrees in certain parts of the plant and I was sweating but had no access to water to replenish it immediately. I know I tried to make up for it after work by the number of times I was up and down last night but I can tell waking up thirsty as all get out I didn't succeed. Today is a better day. I have some garden vegetable rice with chicken for lunch. And if that's not enough, I have some soup. Hopefully a better day today. If there is a baseball game (not cancelled for weather) I'll stop at Panera and get a soup or something a little lighter. Going to take my camera out and do pictures for the team so hopefully a lot of walking then. Hopefully just a blip up and it'll go back down soon.
06/05 - DNP
06/06 - There's the drop. Wasn't quite expecting that big of one, but I'm perfectly okay with it. Now to hold on to this number or maybe even get lower. Rainy day. Not sure if baseball tonight will be cancelled yet so can't make plans for this evening as far as dinner/workout goes.
06/07 - I stood on the scale and then it died. It flashed 156-something before it did but not sure how accurate. Though, after yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised. Lots of salty foods and snacking, especially on carbs. But drank almost 100oz of water. Hopefully its just a false reading either because of the salt or because it was dying. I have more batteries but didn't have time this morning if I wanted to get to work on time. Have a wonderful weekend!

SW - 171.1 lbs
UGW - 125 lbs

06/02 - 167.0 lbs - feeling super bloated and painful but I’m about today force a healthy breakfast and then head off to work. When I weighed myself last night I was 171.1 lbs so I’m happy to see that wasn’t my real weight, although it’s still higher than I’d like.
06/03 - 166.8 lbs ( -0.2 lbs ) - happy to see the number go down, even in the tiniest amount. It’s now my TOM and last week was a super bad time for me, so I’m hoping if I stay on track this week, next week will bring me good things.
06/04 - DNW - had a super busy morning and forgot to weigh and didn’t want to weigh after I had eaten lunch, but I believe it would have stayed relatively the same.
06/05 - 164.5 lbs ( -2.3 lbs ) - though I know this is likely not a real loss, it’s still surprising to see considering my TOM bloat and the fact I had a few drinks last night.
06/06 -164.6 lbs ( +0.1 lbs ) - have a pretty stressful day ahead so I really hope to be able to keep on track. I guess we’ll see.
06/07 - DNW - forgot once again. I passed my road test yesterday so now I am less stressed and can focus on being healthy again
06/08 - 166.6 lbs ( +2.0 lbs ) - extremely bloated and have been eating pretty badly. I’m going to work on staying on track this weekend
06/09 - DNW - worked last night and then again this morning, too much in a rush to weigh
06/10 - 167.4 lbs ( +0.8 lbs ) - not at all surprised after a weekend of eating garbage. I find it difficult to eat well when I work as I work at a “fast food” place. Oh well, it’s a new week

Day/Weight/Comment

6/2 - 159
We had a good time at Arab Fest yesterday - great food, and I ate what I wanted, but other than breakfast that was it for the day - falafel, hummus, pita, stuffed grape leaves, beautiful saffron rice, za’atar chips, baklava. Yum! I also had a lovely henna design put on my hand (see pic - sorry it’s so big) and enjoyed talking to the artist, an Afghan teacher now living in Indianapolis. Another calorie challenge coming up today with our UU picnic pitch-in, but I’ll try to behave. I have lots of walking plans for the week! Have a lovely Sunday, all!

6/3 - 161
OK, yuch but not unexpected after a weekend of indulgences. Some is water - I feel a little bloated and know I ate more salt than normal. I'm still aiming for my goal by the end of the round. It's a gorgeous day so I'm planning at least one long walk, plus garden work. Enjoy!

6/4 - 160.2
We went to Fazzoli's for lunch yesterday - not my choice - but other than indulging in a bread stick, I kept calories within bounds, and definitely within for the rest of the day. DH can eat pasta 'til the cows come home and never gain an ounce - no fair! It's raining now, but supposed to clear up, so I'm looking forward to a long walk later. If not, I'll hit the Y.

6/5 - 159.8
My calories were a little over my goal yesterday, but I worked several hours in the garden and dug out under the gait and laid pavers, so that burned a few. The forecast is for scattered T-storms all day, but I'll try to squeeze a walk in. We have a couple of guys coming tomorrow to dig out my new big flower beds -- can't wait to get started planting those! Happy hump day, all!

6/6 - 159.8
Anyone else sick of cloudy days? At least it's warm, and rain is sporadic. I'd just like a little sunshine. Oh well!

6/7 - 159.2
It’s a beautiful morning here. The guys didn’t start my garden beds yesterday but should be here this mornin* with shovels, edger, soil, and tiller. Yay! I think I need to go buy more plants! I won’t get to do much gardening tonight - potluck - but maybe a little this afternoon? Or tomorrow. Soon! Have a great weekend, all!

6/8 - no weigh

6/9 - 159.8
Friday night potluck and some emotional over-eating last night. Oh well. I have a book club potluck this evening but plan to eat a high-protein + veggie lunch and to behave myself, other than a piece of the rhubarb ginger crisp I’m taking (sugar cut wayyyyy back from original recipe!) Rainy day here. Have a lovely!

6/10 - 161
I behaved badly at the book club potluck last night and ate a lot of salty snacky stuff (and salads, so a little actual nutrition!). I had a lot of fun, though! Anyway, I'm stocking up on salad materials & other non-starchy veggies today and am cutting out added sugars and flour, which I know are the main culprits in weight gain for me. Hoping to get a long walk in. And lots of water!

Day/Weight/Comment

6/02 - I wasn't at home, so no weigh in this morning. 41g carbs, 36g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, crackers, peanut butter.

6/03 - 176.2 - 26g carbs, 25g net carbs. Carbs were: belgian waffle, ingredients in turkey burger.

6/04 - 177.2 - 30g carbs. Carbs were: 10 crackers. I'm becoming really disinterested in eating, which is not good.

6/05 - 6/05 - 176.8 - 17g carbs, 13g net carbs. Carbs were: beef au jus sauce, broccoli, guacamole.

6/06 - 178.2 - 40g carbs, 25g net carbs. Carbs were: 3 large croutons crushed, peanut butter, salad, avocado. Felt tired all day, ate peanut butter at 10pm, seems silly when about to go to bed. Not enough water yesterday. Been dealing poorly with some one else's life stress that has too easily become mine. Stress the past few weeks is now showing up as disinterest in eating and bloated abdomen from cortisol. 😕

6/07 - 176.4 - 42g carbs, 27g net carbs. Carbs were: broccoli, squash, salad, peanut butter, guacamole.

6/08 - 176.4 - 31g carbs, 24g net carbs. Carbs were: squash, salad, peanut butter.

6/09 - 176- 53g carbs, 44g net carbs. Carbs wer: salad, pumpkin seeds, peanut butter.

6/10 - 176 - 31g carbs, 25g net carbs. Carbs were: onion, sweet peppers, peanut butter.

Round 8! I'm looking forward to walking outside more this round. My goals are to track at least 10,000 steps a day, drink at least 45 oz of water (not including non-calorie drinks like coffee or Coke Zero), and weighing in one pound less than I did at the beginning of the challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/02 182.0 lb I tracked 14,065 steps and had 20 oz of water. Dinner was a lovely grilled steak at my fiance's parent's house. We're heading to my parents for the afternoon and then we'll take the dog for a walk and probably get take out for dinner.
06/03 183.2 lb Lazy day yesterday. I tracked 4,595 steps and didn't drink any actual water. I had one glass of wine, three beers, and a fried fish sandwich for dinner. Today, I'm getting back on track. I have my meals planned through dinner, I have a full water bottle, and I'm exercising at home between work and the last band boosters meeting of the year.
06/04 183.2 lb 10,751 steps were tracked and I had about 50 oz of water. I'm going to the gym this afternoon and then I have wind ensemble rehearsal from 7:00-9:00. We're having baked eggplant parm for dinner, so I'll keep my snacking to a minimum to be able to enjoy a nice serving. The weather has been lovely to walk in! I have a sorta NSV to report. Growing up, we always had overweight pets because we loved to give them treats. At my most recent vet check-up with my dog, the vet noted that she is a perfect weight and had lost some weight since our last visit. She's been my walking buddy for the last few months and I think all that exercise has positively impacted her!
06/05 182.6 lb 13,420 steps were tracked and I had 44 oz of water. I burned 300 calories on the elliptical at the gym and came in under calorie goals. I'll be doing an exercise dvd between work and pub trivia tonight and I'll be having leftover eggplant parm instead of bar food for dinner.
06/06 179.2 lb Just barely made my step goals with 10,558 steps. I had 54 oz of water and I completed level one of the 30 Day Shred. I'll be going to the gym after work and it's my night to cook dinner, so calories are completely under my control today. I'd love to see this weight again tomorrow!
06/07 180.8 lb I made my step goals and burned 300 calories at the gym yesterday. I'm taking my middle schoolers to a music festival today and then we're at an amusement park for 5 hours. I charged my Fitbit last night and forgot it on the charger, so no step tracking today.
06/08 180.8 lb Pretty pleased! I only had 37 oz of water and I know I made my step goal because I can feel it in my legs today. I had a small order of fries, a small slush, and half of a milk shake at the park and then I went out for Mexican food with my fiance. After catching up on yardwork, we're planning on going to a food truck festival today, so I'm having coffee for breakfast and I'll see if I feel like having dinner tonight. I'll be focusing on water intake and I won't be surprised to see a gain tomorrow, but hopefully it will be low.
06/09 180.4 lb Pleasantly surprised and mildly suspicious of this weigh-in. The food truck festival was a bust. We made it to the venue and the line to get into the festival had an estimated wait time of 90 minutes. We went out for seafood instead and were fine with it. I had no dinner to speak of other than a small homemade piña colada. 12,490 steps were tracked and I had 56 oz of water. I have a concert this afternoon with my wind ensemble and then I'm grocery shopping and meal prepping.
06/10 180.4 lb I tracked 11,962 steps and drank a measly 12 oz of water. I love beer and Sam Adams were only $3 a bottle at the concert yesterday! 🍻 I have a full water bottle with me today at work, I have a low calorie lunch, and I'm planning on working out at home between work and a two hour rehearsal. I want to meet my goal of losing one pound this round, and I've found I either maintain or see a small drop after my workout DVD. We'll see what tomorrow brings!
