JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 80 (round 12 for me !) I'm in for another round, still need to get back to end of round 76 weight !
Female age 61 5' 4”
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it!

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 132 – 6 ½ miles walked yesterday – terrible rain restricted me getting out !!
06/13 132 – looks like I'm stuck at this weight !! 6 miles walked yesterday in between the rain !
06/14 132 – 5 ¼ miles walked yesterday, when will this rain stop? Really missing getting out there and doing my usual walking!
06/15 131.4 – yay movement !! Almost 9 ½ miles of steps yesterday including 2 hours of ballroom and latin dancing last night
06/16 131.4 0- 4 ½ miles walked yesterday, when will this rain stop?
06/17 131.4 – hurrah breaks in the rain allowed me to walk just under 10 miles yesterday, thank goodness!
06/18 131.4 – almost 9 ½ miles walked yesterday
06/19 132.8 – 12 miles walked yesterday, but a stupid chocolate binge just before bed : !.
06/20 133.6 – 12 ¼ miles walked yesterday. Still feeling effect of chocolate binge
06/21 133.6 – just over 3 ½ miles walked yesterday. I feel like I wasted this challenge with my “devil may care” attitude over the last 3 day. Must learn by it and move on, another challenge starts tomorrow, but I want to have a really good day today

Day/Weight/Comment
12/06 - 199.4 - up due to grazing throughout the day. Only gentle exercise and could have done better with the water.
13/06 - 199.2 not a great day yesterday. Wrather was cold and wet so stayed in and nibbled all day. Hurt my foot also so cannot walk or run. Not a great start to the round.
14/06 - 200.4 - time to get my focus back
15/06 - 200.6 - not a great day foodwise and I cannot run or walk briskly.
16/06 - 200.6 at least I didn't gain anymore.
17/06 - 200.2 - a slight loss. I am back on it today. More control over my food an will hav e plenty of water. I cannot walk briskly nor can I run and that isn't going to change for a while so I will have to work around it.
18/06 - 201.4 - no idea why I gained. Exercise was ok considering injury, food was good and water was good. Onwards and downwards!
19/06 - 210.6 - don't know what is going on. Food and water were good. I walked a lot yesterday but my pace has slowed as I have injured my leg. Still would not have expected to gain. Anyway, I have 2 more days left in this round.
20/06 - 201.8 - hopefully a drop tomorrow. I seemed to have hit a brick wall. I need to find a way forward.
21/06 - 201.0 - at least its a loss. I will have a better result by the end of the next round.

Aim to lose 4lbs this round
This is my 2nd round, found this a really great way to keep myself accountable and on track and I had a great loss the first round so lets keep it up. Good luck everyone, we can do this
06/12 – 214.4 (-0.4) Really pleased with this was over calories yesterday and didn’t make it to the gym. Gym tonight so hoping for a good drop tomorrow
06/13 – 214.2 (-0.6) Slow and steady at the moment, seem to have lost motivation at the moment, haven’t been to the gym since Monday but going to try and motivate myself to go tonight. Calories within goal
06/14 – 215.0 (+0.2) Oh dear, really need to get my head back in the game here. Yesterday was a bad day but going to put it behind me and try and get back on track
06/15 – 213.6 (-1.2) Not sure how this happened but I’ll take it
06/16 – 214.6 (-0.2)
06/17 – 216.4 (+1.8) TOM so hopefully just some bloating and the number will be back down after a couple of days, just hoping for any kind of loss by the end of this round now
06/18 – 217.6 (+3.2) Serious bloating going on at the moment, but going to keep going and hopefully it will go down soon
06/19 – 217 (+2.6) Going in the right direction now. 1 Day smoke free now to, I can do this. Going to the gym tonight, meals all planned out so lets see this number down by Friday’s final weigh in.
06/20 – 215.8 (+1.0) Still going down so I’m very happy with that. Fingers crossed could even make it to maintaining this round.
06/21 – 215.6 (+0.8) so ending the round with gain but not as bad as it could be so moving on to the next round in a more positive place and looking for a big loss

R80 SW: 139.5 lbs / 63.3kg
R80 GW: 137 lbs / 62.1kg
GW: 133 lbs / 60.3kg
UGW: 126 lbs / 57.2kg
R80 Goal: Round 79 (my 2nd round) was much better than R78, working my way to a 4lb loss! The goal for this round is to keep up with the training and controlled eating. I have Tough Mudder this round too and I can't wait!
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!
12/06 138.5lbs / 62.8kg (-1lb / 0.5kg) and 12,879 steps
Had a good day yesterday with exercise and food. Was especially chuffed to have enough calories to eat a WHOLE tub of low cal raspberry ripple ice cream last night (350 cals for the full tub) while watching my favourite TV show Today's plan is much of the same...walk to and from work with a Push session at lunchtime. Keeping up with the water intake too.
13/06 139.5lbs / 63.3kg (+1lb / 0.5kg) and 11,922 steps
Can't shift the feeling of disappointment when I see a gain, no matter how small. But my body feels like it has been hit by a train today after my Push session at the gym. At least I know where the gain came from. I have Functional HIIT tonight after work and have a good day ahead of me all round
14/06 138.75lbs / 62.9kg (-0.75lbs / 0.4kg) and 18,737 steps
Was expecting another gain because I'm still achy, plus I weighed in later than usual, but happy with this. The 45 min HIIT class last night was very cardio intensive so got a great workout 💪 Was meant to be leg day today but seeing as Tough Mudder is this weekend, I made an executive decision to miss it today. Will be getting my steps in as going to a farm with the little one today. Only challenge will be water intake so taking my own bottle to fill up as we toddle around.
15/06 141lbs / 64kg (+2.25lbs / 1.1kg) and 7,535 steps
Really not happy with this as was under my calorie goal yesterday. Didn't hit my step goal as there wasn't as much walking on the day trip as I would have liked. Also forgot my water bottle so I suppose this gain could be coz of poor water intake coupled with not going to the toilet 😔 Oh well, today I am going for a loooong walk despite the rain to get my steps in. Food today will be protein packed as I am doing Tough Mudder tomorrow, can't wait!
16/06 142.4lbs / 64.6kg (+1.5lbs / 0.6kg) and 7,850 steps
A well deserved gain after a chocolate binge last night. Was expecting more so might see it tomorrow 🤦♀️ anyway, Tough Mudder today 💪
17/06 146lbs / 66.2kg (+3.5lbs / 1.6kg) and 20,291 steps
>:( Really not happy with this but I guess it's catch up from the chocolate binge. However, I did burn over 1,100 calories doing Tough Mudder yesterday so WTH is this? I'm in such a bad mood but going to try and get over it and not dwell. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. I can stick to everything food and exercise then just go an blow it by bingeing on crap. Grrrr make myself so damn mad!
Super proud I got through TM yesterday, had so much fun and can't wait for the next one. Today's focus is water, water, water. Exercise planned for lunchtime is a push session, weights will be a bit lighter as a bit achy from TM but still be a good session.
18/06 142.25 lbs / 64.5kg (-3.75 lbs / 1.7kg) and 10,980 steps
Delighted to see this number coming down again, maybe I will at least get to my starting weight for this round. Took a half day from work yesterday so the only exercise I had was my steps, was very achy as the day went on so thought it best to take a rest day. Back to business today.
19/06 140 lbs / 63.5kg (-2.25 lbs / 1kg) and 15,336 steps
Woohoo! Chuffed as a wee budgie! Went back to the gym yesterday for HIIT which was quite tough but I got through it. A lot of running about between different buildings at work for meetings yesterday which all went toward the massive step count. Giving I have a desk job, this ain't too bad! Was well under my calorie goal yesterday so planning to use that extra deficit to have something extra at the weekend.
Upper body weight training today, not decided to Push or Pull but will be one of the two. I must be mad but I have 90% decided to do a 14 mile Spartan race in September so might need to ramp up the training a bit more!
20/06 140.5lbs / 63.7kg (+0.5lbs / 0.2kg) and 13,343 steps
This is OK as I haven't been to the toilet 💩 an extra coffee will do the trick Was under calories again yesterday so building up a nice bank for having a treat this weekend. I've settled on a sugar ring doughnut on Saturday after my walk/run Double gym session today, Push at lunchtime followed by 45 min HIIT after work with the usual walk to and from work.
21/06 141lbs / 64kg (+0.5lbs / 0.2kg) and 17,025 steps
I am seeing a pattern emerging here - I'm gaining 1/2 - 1lbs when I've lifted heavily the day before. Yesterday was quite high in sugar (could be the reason too?) as I forgot there was a coffee morning in work and I had some nibbles of various homemade baking. I was still under my calorie goal - I just had to tweak the rest of my meals to compensate for the tasty bits. I've been to the gym this morning for leg day and finished off with 100 calories on the rowing machine 🚣♀️
Finishing the round 1.5lbs heavier but I'm not disappointed because I have learned a lot this round about my eating habits and what makes my weight fluctuate. Have a great weekend everyone and I'll see you for round 81!12 -

Lot going on this round - daughters 16th birthday, cheer competition in Brighton this weekend, Fathers Day and youngest away all next week on her school residential so my other daughter wants to have a shopping and lunch out day so going to have to be super-focused this round to stay on track to meet my holiday goal. A Friday finish to the round is good though!!
5 rounds to go and aiming to lose a further 6lbs....... So looking to finish this round at 138lb - an overall loss of 1.1lb....
R80 Start Weight - 139.1lb
06/12 - 138.7lb (-0.4lb) Happy with that to start with. Off work today as youngest has her district sports inter schools athletic competition to go and watch and its also my other Daughters 16th birthday today so need to avoid the cake and treats and choose sensibly when we go out for dinner tonight. Feeling focused .......
06/13 - 140.9lb (+2.2lb) Had lunch out yesterday (egg, chorizo and veggies on toast) and Nando's (no starter, chips or dessert) last night with a small glass or red wine last night for my daughters birthday. Other than water (probably not enough), tea and coffee, nothing else passed my lips all day and I was within calories for the day (as best as I could estimate my lunch at least).
So I know this 2.2lb isn't a gain as I would have to have overeaten by 7,000+ calories and I know it will be back off very quickly but just goes to show how much weight can fluctuate by day to day for no real reason just based on macros and I guess salt.
Not concerned - albeit still frustrated as back over that 140 again - but still sure I'll reach my round target.
Off to drink my water.....
06/14 - 139.6lb (-1.3lb) As expected but still a bit more to go to get back to Wednesdays weight so hopeful it will be gone by tomorrow. So much going on at the minute seem to be on the see-saw again - overall trend still seems to be down though which I guess is what counts. Normal day today so should all be good for tomorrows weigh in which will be early as heading off for a cheer competition so an early start, a long day, a late night and 5-6 hours in the car so wont be an easy day.........
06/15 - DNW
06/16 - DNW
06/17 - DNW but back to proper tracking today. Weekend was full of take-out / fast food at the cheer comp rounded off by a Fathers Day BBQ at my brothers yesterday evening who never does anything remotely healthy! Why is it so difficult to get anything half decent to eat at these events ? To top it off the only place that was open at the services on the way home at 11pm was McD's
But only a couple of days which although it may show up on the scales for a few days, really shouldn't make too much difference overall. A clear week ahead to stay focused (before heading away again at the weekend for another cheer competition....) Have a good week everyone
06/18 - 142.4lb (+2.8lb) Well my weekend definitely didn't warrant that! But guess this is the downside of weighing daily.
I actually felt "light" this morning before I stepped on the scale so was shocked to see this. Still, onwards I go - my days food is planned, prepped and logged in MFP, water bottle is at my side, gym tonight and hope to see a decent "whoosh" over these last few days of the round.
Holiday getting ever closer but have signed up for a charity event running July to September to walk 1,000,000 steps - averages about 10,500 a day so definitely do-able and will also help with the final weight loss push towards my holiday. Will log my steps on her daily from 1st July
06/19 - 141.1lb (-1.3lb) Down some of it, hoping for a bit more whoosh though.... All was good yesterday and no reason today wont be the same (so long as I avoid snacking my way round the shops later when I go out with my daughter after work later to get the last few bits for her prom next week!)
06/20 - 139.0lb (-2.1lb) Guess that's the rest of the whoosh plus a bit so am down 0.1lb over the round as a whole so far with one last day to go so hopeful for my 138 finish this round albeit a bit of a seesaw round overall. All food prepped and planned for today, water bottle at the ready and gym tonight.
Hoping for a big finish .....
06/21 - 137.8lb (-1.2lb) Wow! Weighed three times to check but read the same everytime so I'll take it! Smashed my round target too
No weigh in over the weekend as off to another cheer competition in Liverpool this time but this has set me up to remain focused and try to void too many motorway service station and fast food outlets.
Off to finish packing then look forward to the next 6 hours in the car
See you all Round 8113 -

I am 52 y/o 5’1.5” from PA. 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.Round 68 SW: 225.8 – EW: 219.8 (↓6lbs)

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 – 194.6, starting out all wrong, I haven’t sleep because laid around and slept all day yesterday. I was vary lazy and did nothing all day.
06/13 – 194.6
06/14 – 196.6 Very, very bloated and have not been drinking enough water. So hard when I have the 2 grandkids for the summer.
06/15 – 195.8
06/16 – 195.8
06/17 – 192.8 surprised this dropped like this because have been snacking (healthy snacking), and I don't have my food scale until can get a battery.
06/18 – 194.8
06/19 –DNW
06/20 – 194.8
06/21 –195.8
End Results: gain of 2.6
I am not coming back for several rounds with having my grandchildren. Everything going wrong but it ok and I am just trying to maintain what I did lose until school starts up. I log in but not tracking food, no exercising with all the rain we have, haven't been able to walk or do other things.15 -
RD80 Goal: -2lbs
This is my 4th consecutive round, My goal this round is to say good bye to the 70's forever. I have no desire to ever see that number on a scale again.
06/12 270.6
06/13 269.0 ohhhhh myyyyyyyyyyy sixties finally, wow gotta buckle down to keep that 70 away. Weekends are my weakness, actually if I can stay even from sat am thru mon am I will call it a win.
06/14 268.4 whooooo trying to distance myself from that 70 number. The weekends are always a challenge and I plan to really work on my weekend eating.

06/19 271.0 on the struggle bus, I think I need a low low sodium diet, I retain water like crazy with big weight fluctuations day to day. Pretty bummed. I feel like the only way I can lose and keep off wt is to starve myself which always blows up in the end. Staying motivated gets harder with every passing day.
06/20 269.0 Feel good about this weigh in, 2 lb swings are nothing unusual, but if i lay off the carbs, salt, etc I can get lined out pretty quick. Hope to maintain this into the last day and look forward to the next round.
06/21 270.8 this was a tough round up and down, hoping to get into the sixties round 81 and stay there.11 -

Thu 13/06: 163.5: Goals: ✅Normal fluctuation for me. I often bounce back up after a whoosh down. Although I still think these fluctuations are due to the inflammation in my knee

Tue 11/06: 164.1: Goals: ✅Caught sight of my legs in my full-length mirror, and realised that my left knee and lower leg is swollen. I think it's coming from the inflammation in my knee. I was on my feet for over 4 hours on Monday. Hoping it will go down again if I ease up on the exercise for a few days.Food

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.

06/18 - 193.3 - I tracked my food and my weight yesterday. I was short on water but I’ll try again today. I stayed on track with healthy food for the most part yesterday. Lately, I’ve had an all or nothing attitude. So if I mess up during the day, I’ll say screw it and eat with reckless abandon. That’s what got me into this mess. Yesterday I ate a super sugary snack, but I logged it and ate healthy eating for the rest of the day. It’s the little victories that add up.
06/19 - 193.3 - I didn’t meet my goals today, but I was mindful about my choices. I’ll try again today. I am planning to run and take the dogs for a walk today so that should help.
06/20 -193.9 - I went over my calories yesterday, those darn ice cream stands! Otherwise, I’m happy that I’m continuing to be mindful of how I’m treating my body. I went for a run in the morning and walk with the dog at night.
06/21 - 192.8 - I'll take that! I tried intermittent fasting yesterday. I've done it before but stopped for a while. I think I'm going to add that in as a goal for round 81. Thanks for all the support everyone!12 -

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 – 142.5 – Nice way to start the round!
06/13 – 141 – I haven’t seen this number for a couple months.
06/14 – 141 – It has been several months since I took my measurements, so I took them yesterday. I’m within a couple pounds of my weight last time I took them so I wasn’t expecting any real losses. I was surprised to see that I’m down a half inch on my waist and thighs, a quarter inch on my hips, and (of course) an inch on my bust. I don’t really do much exercising, other than to get at least 5000 steps a day and following @deepwoodslady lead, I’ve been dancing while doing work around the house. When I was in weight loss mode, the measurements are what kept me going when the scale wasn’t moving, but I am surprised to see how my body continues to re-composition itself while I’m eating at maintenance.
06/15 – 141.5 – It’s the weekend. A little extra salt and not enough water last night. I’ve also eaten over maintenance today with the grandson staying with us, so I’ll have to be extra mindful tomorrow.
06/16 – 142.5 – I was expecting this. Ate a little lighter today but it will still probably take a few days to get rid of the sodium.
06/17 – 142.5 – Still not enough water. I had the day off work today and did so much running around, I was afraid to drink too much water and have to find a bathroom every hour.
06/18 – 141.5 – This is nice to see today.
06/19 – 142.5 – No reason for this bump up today, but I’m still happy with my weight trend.
06/20 – 142 - OK!
06/21 – 140 – All the stars aligned for this round's final weigh in. It’s a good way to go into the weekend.

Goals:
Weight on June 11: 143.3
Weight-141.1, hoping to get to 139 by the end of June so 1 lb in the next 6 days.
Exercise-At least 30 minutes per day
Life: Practice meditation more often, on my path to really being mindful.
06/15 141.1 I went to a family party yesterday and overindulged so scale will probably go up tomorrow. Had fun though and ate great food/had cocktails so worth it! I'm back at it today. NSV-need new jeans bc most of mine are now too big!
06/16--ooops! forgot to get on here... 142.9 Went up like I thought but did better today
06/17--142.5 Back at it today in full force-water, exercise & healthy eating
06/18-142.3 ok day, calling it a draw
06/19-141.8 Mostly behaved yesterday, going to behave today too. Eating all meals at home today and tomorrow.
06/20 141 So basically back to where I started five days ago? but to be fair this is a ten day challenge so I'm adjusting. I've lost 2 lbs since then which is fantastic for me. Did not exercise on this day.
06/21 140.9 So not a lb by a long shot but if I count since June 11 I have lost over 2 lbs so I'm good!
Having a really good month weight loss wise and can see now that I've made a lot of lifestyle changes that have stuck. So even if I indulge a little more I've learned how to recover both physically and emotionally and not have it snowball like it used to.10 -
I ll join in the next ten day challenge too.. easier to keep track and stay on course.. I'm afraid this ones ending today.6

06/21 - 153.2 - Another drop. Should be happy about seeing downward movement (especially after stalling so long) but I know its not healthy and chances are when I'm better, it'll come right back. Possibly with some interest. I feel a little better mentally but physically I'm in so much pain from the storm this morning. Hail, wind, lightning strikes the whole shebang. Just got my steroid injections for my back on Monday but they can't overcome this, it seems. Doesn't help I still have a little of the TOM cramps (though nothing compared to yesterday) which is all in the same region. At least after today, its the weekend!
Previous day's comments for R8006/12 - I forgot... I think I'm still half asleep, honestly (: I won't get to weigh in for the next handful of days (MAYBE Monday) so hopefully I can keep myself in check. Feeling fat and bloated today but going to keep going strong and know its just one day.
06/13 - At boyfriends. We stayed up until about midnight talking because he was waiting for meds to kick in (played softball and he's injured like me so real sore. Plus got bruised ribs from a collision). We discussed weight. He's on board with helping me find and keeping me accountable for more workouts. The gym at work has a rowing machine which I can do with my injuries with little to no impact (other than epic soreness) so I think on days I'm not rushed to get to baseball games in time, I'll either go during lunch or after work. I think he also is okay with me cutting down portions or making something slightly different to eat to help me out nutritionally. Wins! I feel so much more confident that I can break this plateau of 155-ish with his support (I hovered at 155 for 2 years after my surgery so I think its a happy place for my body since I can't work out like I used to) but I know I've been down to 145 and I still have some to lose at that weight so maybe, just maybe, I can hit 140 or below with his help. Plus, when he has the kids, I get out and be active with them as much as I can.

06/17 - Very little water, plenty of beer, a double kids birthday (1 and 3 year old) and a father's day bbq. So not as bad as I thought and hopefully will drop when I'm hydrated better
06/18 - Bad mental health day today. Woke up crying don't know why. Stayed at boyfriends since baseball game and we went out to dinner after. Today is his birthday, was maybe going to make the chicken he likes (his kids don't like the crunchy cheese on top) but he doesn't have the kids this week. Definitely not enough water yesterday but improvement from the weekend.
06/19 - Just not feeling it... Mental health got me so bad I barely could eat yesterday and still felt like puking it all back up. Going to try for more food today without pushing my body and mind too far. Also, I always seem to drop RIGHT before TOM and it will be here any day so that may be another reason for the significant drop
06/20 - Down again. Still struggling with food but water was a little better yesterday. Not where it needs to be, but improving. Here's to another day of trying (: Still feeling not so great mentally which means not so great physically. I'm at least forcing some food down my throat here and there so I'm not completely starving myself. Although I know 500-800 calories is not even CLOSE to what I need, its better than nothing at all at this point. No TOM yet, but any day now. Maybe the hormones balancing out will help with my mood and I can bounce back.

@nikki062181 I am back! It has been a long time since I have done this challenge. I was 17lbs from my goal weight and have since gained 17 additional pounds. The truth?! Life got in the way. I'm constantly busy and just started eating out more and exercising less. Time to reel it back in.
GOALS FOR THE WEEK!
First step: Track calories
Second step: Measure my portions
Third step: Cut out carbonated beverages
Fourth step: Cut out too many sweets
5th step: Push water!!!!
OSW: 232 lbs
CSW: 159 lbs
CGW: 155 - 156 lbs
UGW: 125 lbs
Here is to wishing I can get down to 153 - 155 in these 10 days. 🙏
6/12: 159 Did not drink enough and was way under my calorie intake.
6/13: 157 Did not drink enough and was way under my calorie intake (been battling with altitude sickness)
6/14: 154.8 😮 Met my calorie goal but my macros were off. I ate too many carbs due to having chicken pizza for dinner. I did consume 34 ounces of water, drank no carbonated beverages, and had no candy either
6/15: 154.6 I nailed my macros yesterday! 🥳 I pushed pushed myself and drank 51 ounces of water. 😯 I know I'll be living in the bathroom today. I'm going to continue to push water but am bumping it up to 3.5 bottles of water today so I can get in 60 ounces. I swept my entire house and did more laundry yesterday.
6/16 153.8 🥰 I'm getting there. I'm feeling like doing a little dance today! I only completed 2.5 bottles yesterday. I was short by 1 whole bottle. So, let us hope I will do better today. Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's and single Mom's out there!
6/17: 156.6 😭 I was right! I made healthy choices yesterday, but the sodium intake on that meal out killed me! I'm so sad. I will need to push the water today for sure. I'm also going to start on some some smoothies today and B12 supplements. 🤞
6/18: 155 Whew! 😜 I pushed some water yesterday and boy did it work to help get rid of some of that sodium. It was so hard to eat that stuff. 🤢🤮
6/19: 155 Holding steady. I did not push enough liquid yesterday. However, I made cauliflower mash last night for the first time, and that was awesome! My sons and husband even liked it, and they cannot stand cauliflower. SCORE!
6/20: 155.8 I did not drink nearly enough. I met my calorie goal and ate healthy, but I could tell I was really full from dinner last night. In fact, I was too full. I should not have eaten the portion I ate, but I would not have met my goal otherwise. The conundrum...
Also, I am still full today. 😣
6/21: 154.8 🎂Happy Birthday to me! I am forever 29! Ha I am 38 today. 40 is creeping up on me. Speaking of the 40's. I'd like to be back there on the scale. I hit my goal for the last 10 days but barely. However, I did it. This round saw me lose 4.2lbs. A lot of this was water weight I believe. See you next round and congratulations! Our weight loss journey is not easy. Way to show grit!12
