Day - Weight - Comment
06/22 - 136.8 (+0.7lbs) - Bloated. Ate Late. Ate out and somewhat unhealthy for 1 meal. TOM coming very soon. 1hr strength. 35min cardio (was probably a lot more but this is all I recorded). 16 cups water.
06/23 - 135.6 (-1.2lbs) - Food was great. 1hr strength. 1hr 45min cardio. 16 cups water.
06/24 - 134.9 (-0.7lbs) - Whew broke the upper 130s. I’m sure I’ll fluctuate back up as I go but this is a huge milestone. Ate mostly healthy but I did have a handful of chips. Rest day for the most part. I did do about 20min cardio/strength but took it easy otherwise. 45 min restorative yoga. 14 glasses water.
06/25 - 135.1 (+0.2lbs) - no real reason just typical fluctuation I guess. Ate healthy. 1hr strength. 1hr 13min cardio. 15 cups water.
06/26 - 135.3 (+0.2lbs) - sore today likely water retention. Also TOM coming. Food was good. 1hr 31min cardio. 30 min strength. 17 cups water.

Joining in for at least part of round 81!

Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW 177.1 lbs
LTG: 110.0 lbs
STG: 139.8 lbs (just like the idea of being below 140, but not as close as 139.9 but will take that too just to get below 140 :-)
MTG: 123.4 lbs Leave Overweight category and get into Healthy BMI range
Goal for 10 day Challenge - lose 2 pounds (138.9)

Day/Weight/Comment

06/22: 140.9 Up 0.3 pounds from yesterday; but not unexpected as weight dropped 2.2 pounds from the day before (serious whoosh, so usually see a bump up until it settles over a couple of days). Had 1 hour step class this morning and really pushed it - burned 388 calories in the hour (ok that is a lot for me!) and had heart rate in peak zone for 54% of the class! Some weights and other functional training then back home. Lazy afternoon with some weeding in the garden until the ants and mosquitoes drove me in! Big dinner - grilled swordfish with olive tapenade/tomato sauce, saffron rice & black beans and fresh greens from farmers market, although within calorie budget. Still feel like I am retaining water (extra exercise?) so curious what weight will be tomorrow. I do need to figure a better way to distribute calories more through out the day, but dinner is my favorite meal of the day and so far do not have time to cook dinner foods for breakfast or have gotten leftover portions quite right.

06/23: 140.3 Yeah!!! dropped down below round 80 ending weight! Today is my official "rest day", but may still try to get in 30-45 minutes of walking or light elliptical for some cardio and probably some stretching or yoga as legs feel tight after yesterdays workout. Slept in today so probably going to have just two main meals (brunch/dinner) and snacks. Dinner tonight is grilled bigeye tuna with fresh mango salsa!

06/24: 139.7 Wow rest days rock!!! Made my short term goal to get below 140 !!! Not sure if I will make round goal of losing 2 pounds as will not be able to weigh in after Thursday but at least a great start! Did step class this morning, but could not stay for spin or weights, so went back in for spin class in evening. No weights today due to crazy schedule so will start tomorrow. Cavatappi with duck bolognese and smoked mozzarella for dinner - satisfied my love for pasta, but still within calorie limit! Hope the higher carbs do not create a bump! Apple Watch is suggesting that my resting metabolic rate is dropping (as expected due to weight loss) so either need to 1) up exercise; 2) decrease calories consumed; or 3) adjust to idea of slower weight loss going forward (so far I have been doing more of (1). Currently calories consumed are close to what I would eat at goal weight for maintenance with modest activity, so really think best options are 1 or 3. (next week it is going to have to be 3 :-) due to travel!

06/25: 140.2 Well not completely unexpected as typically see a big drop and then a bump up. Overall downward trend shows that I am still on track. I don;t expect a drop tomorrow as today was heavy leg weights (usually see a bump up after that) Exercise was good today (latin dance, weights (legs) and yoga, so expect this will even out in a day or two! Tomorrow is BodPod day. Gymaholic thinks my body fat is around 36% based on neck, waist and hip measurements (with height) so interested in what results will be! (hoping that with the weight training it is lower!!!)

06/26: 139.8 Yeah!!! Back to short term goal of being below 140!!! BodPod analysis came back 40% body fat at current weight (still have 30 pounds to lose) but the goal is to keep up the weight training with cardio so that body fat percentage is lower (predicted to be 25% at goal weight of 110, but would be 30% with just cardio! The staff person doing the test did indicate that my body fat and BMI were tracking together, so that basing weight goals on BMI would be useful for indicating healthy weight based on % fat. This also provided an estimate of resting metabolic rate of 1100 calories and average non-exercise rate of 1350; currently I am targeting 1400 calories a day so if that is accurate, all of the deficit for weight loss is coming from exercise. May repeat the BodyGem BMR test (should be more accurate) to see if BMR really has changed that much now that I am just below the midpoint of journey. Exercise planned for today: upper body weights and spin class.

06/27: 138.8 Thrilled to see my 10 day goal of losing 2 pounds today. Did not have time to use the elliptical trainer at home, so just going to have to get steps in at the airport. Walked rather than took the train during layover in Atlanta and did laps around the terminal so that I could at least get the minimum exercise calories to close all of my rings! Then 8 hour flight to UK. Challenge will be to at least maintain current weight over the next 6 days while out of the country. Last international trip in March I ended up gaining weight (too much beer and bar snacks and limited walking) so will be more careful this time! There is supposed to be university gym access through the conference so did bring some workout clothes and hope to get in more exercise than just walking. Although not an early morning person at home, might be a great way to spend time if I do have jet lag!

06/28: DNW Out of Town. Arrived in UK this morning, but between walking to immigration, to catch tube/train and on campus I managed to get in 17,000+ steps! Had some down time this afternoon and walked to the gym (about 10 minutes away) and got a 30 minute workout on a recombinant bike; really helped with combatting afternoon jet lag. All of the spin bikes at the gym are too high for me (under 5') but lots of ellipticals so will try to go there before breakfast in am. Need to remember to bring AirPods if I want to do a HIIT workout. At the end of the day did burn over 800 calories! Managed to control eating, even with going to the pub this evening - ordered large salad with grilled halloumi rather than the really greasy fish and chips and had gin and tonic with light tonic. The gym has a scale so may weigh in tomorrow just to keep as eye on weight (will be with gym clothes so could subtract a pound).

Coming back after a break from logging cals. Gained a couple of kilos, but needed the break to come back with new mindset.
Got 2.5 weeks before a holiday and want to make the most of that time.

Wed 06/26 72.6kg (-0.5)🧘10💪Athena🚶‍♀️11.7k 📖🍫10.30-23.00 12.5/11.5
I forgot to log one thing yesterday, but was still within cals.
Today was tough, had a meeting that was catered for (delicious sandwich), then met friends for dinner and drinks. I see this becoming a problem, being in a new city, meeting new people or having visitors and soooo many new places to discover, mainly around food.
The loss today was great, but now it's late and I won't be getting up early enough for my run, and more plans in the eve - oh what a difficult life I shouldn't be complaining...

Thu 06/27 73.3kg (+0.7)🚶‍♀️16.5k🏃‍♀️4km🥗🍫🍷
8.30-19.30 11/13
I had late dinner with beer on top of a rich lunch yesterday. Today, I didn't run or do yoga in the morning. Today's lunch was a pot luck - nice idea, but bad for controlled eating, I didn't go crazy and estimated 1000cals for that.
After work, I wanted to go for a bike ride, but had a flat tyre, so went for a non-C25K run instead which was good.
I'm trying to get into a fasting pattern, need to try out what works with work, exercise and being social. Today I stopped eating at 6, but then had one sweet after my bike disappointment, which added 1.5hrs, but I have to be honest. Anyway, I ramble..

Fri 06/28 72.8kg (-0.5) 💪Athena🧘🚴40mins🚶‍♀️6k-ish 📖🥗🍫🍷
9.30-20.30 -11/13
Worked from home, started day with yoga & freeletics. Ate ok during day, went for a bike ride before dinner, but didn't make my steps. Dinner was healthy, had a bit of a snack afterwards, but it was planned as part of my dinner cals.
The real battle came about an hour later, not to stuff my face. I drank tea and looked through cupboards, but in the end I won and didn't snack, yay me!

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

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!

06/22 136 18/30 accomplished. Was able to get off work early today but I was so tired I passed out when I had chores and meal preps...😥😥😥 I also just found out my day off on Monday is no longer happening. I should be there for three hours only (just to organize inventory) but who knows. I want this rounds food choices to be better. This job won't be getting any easier and if I am stationed here then I need to learn to adapt to my new environment. So far I have worked two weeks straight...I don't think I have ever worked so hard in my life, which I don't mind because I love it, it's just the meal preps that are getting to me

06/23 137 18/30 I messed up..,chocolate got to me. Starting Monday I will be meal prepping and eating better. I am ready for a restart

06/24 136.4 I messed up another day...but the good news is I got all my meal prep done for the rest of the week. I am all set to go. 18/30

06/25 137.6 a gain as expected. 19/30 accomplished

06/26136.8 I wanted to be down to 130 by the end of June but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. Although normally I would be upset by this, i know I have been working hard and I am not going to get down on myself. It will come, i will just have to continue practicing patience. It's not the end of the day but because all my meals are preplanned for me and having an active job, i know I will stick the course today. So 20/30 accomplished

Ready for my round 18
OSW 88KG
RSW 67.8 kg (-20.2 kg) or {- 44. 75 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started

06/22 67.2kg which is a great start especially after the slowness of last round.
06/23 67.6kg. No problem with this gain as I took husband out for a birthday dinner last night. I kept it Keto but didn't really watch the calories and we ate much later than normal.
06/24 67.7kg no worries. Short but nice run in the cold.
06/25 67.8 kg... I think the weekend calories should be done by now! Time to restart the downward trend. Days like these I'm glad I only record my weight on a Sunday.
06/26 67.9kg...ran in the cold. Can't wait for some light mornings after mid winter.
06/27 67.3 kg. Patience paying off. It was my husbands 50th yesterday and I made a Keto cheesecake for us all. It was surprisingly good and I only ate a small serving... Now to resist the other half sat in the fridge!
06/28 67.4kg with a very cold run.
06/29 67.2kg going to a formal dinner tonight with no idea of the menu so I will be careful and stay Keto. I'm wearing a goal dress tho! Will try to post a pic

R81 Goal: Round 80 was an insightful 3rd round for me. I learned a lot about my body and what causes fluctuations after noticing a trend of gaining weight following the previous day of intense exercise/lifting heavy weights. With this knowledge, I hope I can be kinder to myself and not launch into a chocolate bingeing frenzy when this is the case.
My overall aim for the whole month of June is to still train consistently - with that should come the weight / inch loss.

My first round.
SW: 200
GW: 175
This round I would like to lose 5lbs. Might seem like a lot for 7 days....

6/24: 200lbs I really want active yesterday. I stayed away from carbs so that is a plus. But I ate a lot of whoppers candy and 2 pieces of key lime pie. 😭😭Another positive I downed 1 gallons of water.
6/25 198.4 lbs today I will stay away from junk food.
6/26 198.2 lbs
6/27 196.2 lbs not sure how that happened. I totally ate fast food of shame yesterday. But I only had about 1/2 gallon of water.
6/28 196.8 lbs a little gain not to sad about it. Today I think I will exercise for a good minutes. Maybe the scale will love me tomorrow.
6/29 196.0 lbs I am happy. Hopefully I can survive the weekend.

Lots going on this round again. Weekend in Liverpool for another cheerleading competition so lots of fast food outlets, hotel breakfasts and motorway service stations for our 5+ hour car journey each way
Three evening events for the kids inductions for their new schools and college they start in September, daughters Prom week then another cheerleading display show next weekend..... Ill be going to work in between for a rest

But aiming to carry on this round how I ended the last one..........

R81 Start Weight - 137.8lb Target for the round 136 something ....

06/22 - DNW
06/23 - DNW
06/24 - 139.9lb (+2.1lb) Back from the weekends Liverpool cheer competition so totally expected gain given the usual lack of decent remotely healthy food at comp and late night eating at the motorway service station Did try my best and my overall calories weren't too bad - I know alot of this is just the water retention from the increased fast food salt intake and reduced water. On the plus side the gain hasn't taken me back over 140.
"Gain" will take a few days to come off again as it usually does. Daughters prom on Thursday so will have a glass or two of fizz that night but other than that the rest of the round is clear so still aiming for a 136 finish

06/25 - 138.8lb (-1.1lb) Whoosh! That's half of it gone - now to work on the rest! No gym tonight as at my daughters new college for an induction evening but good food planned for the day and will try and get out for a walk from work at lunchtime.

06/26 - 138.2 (-0.6lb) Bit more gone.... 0.4lb to get back to pre-weekend weigh in then start on the proper downward path to get to round target. Good food day today planned and pre-logged so no excuses
May be a bit tough though as was awake at 2am this morning for no reason and struggled to get back to sleep. In fact my sleep recently has been awful - my husband always used to say I didn't sleep I went into a nightly coma I slept so well, but the last few months this hasn't been the case. Guessing I have so much going on at the moment and have no "down" time - or is this a peri-thing which I think has started as TOM all a bit erratic these days.
Roll on my holiday......

06/27 - 137.5lb (-0.7lb) Weekend gone plus a bit so down 0.3lb since the start of the round with 0.5lb to go to meet my round target. Very happy with that! Will be careful tonight - daughters prom tonight so will be drinks around this evening which I have factored into my days allowance but these things don't usually show favourably on the scales next day. But we'll see - just intend to have a lovely day with my daughter getting ready - eyelashes, hair, make up, nails, then pre-prom drinks with the girls and friends and family

06/28 - 136.5lb (-1.0lb) Not sure this is real as ' eat dinner last night. By the time we had had pre-prom drinks then watched the girls arrive and then got home afterwards I couldn't be bothered! So I'll take it for today, would love it to stay here but wont be disheartened if it goes up tomorrow. Still on a high from last night - my daughter looked beautiful

06/29 - 136.6lb (+0.1lb) Ooohh yesterdays loss seems to have stuck around for a bit - hoping it stays a bit longer. Its the weekend so usual temptations including the girls cheerleading gym show later today and then family over for dinner tomorrow visiting from Devon but aiming to finish the round in the 136's .... Have a great weekend everyone

06/22 247 lbs trying to restart Keto with sister
06/23 245.8 lbs mostly water, but drinking a lot of fluids to flush the body. Calories still at the 2100 top end. Goal is to get in 10000 steps per day again.
06/24 244.8 lbs Drinking plenty of water so I am not dehydrating. Did a morning walk for 1.5 mile in the morning. Took a nice hike with my son on a local “hill” after work. Nice vertical and plateau.
06/25 243 was able to get a 60 minute walk in on the treadmill. Went 3 miles with inclines. Whatever will help prep the hike. Doing another tomorrow if all goes well.
06/26 242.6. Ate like a pig at s farmers market. Knew it would not end well. Need to get past the issue wasting food. No problem, back on the horse.
06/27 243.4 lbs
06/28 241.4 lbs Yesterday did another hike for just over 1.5 hours consisting of a lot of hills with my son. It was tougher but easier since the body is waking back up nicely. Still have a ways to go to climb Mt. Washington. I figure I have six weeks to be ready. Will have to take it easy today since I am giving blood. My blood type is always in very high demand. Very happy with my progress!
06/29 241.2 lbs this morning. Off to a morning hike with the boys. Had a big meal of bbq. Not what I would call a nutritious meal, but very good😂. Sensible eating the next 6-8 days. Very happy how things are going.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/22 - 191.7 - I'm happy to see this number but definitely surprised. I started IF last week, and I really feel like that helps me. Mostly bc I'm a snacker, so the later I start eating the less time I have to graze. Hopefully, this downward trend will continue!
06/23 - 192.4 - I’m not surprised by the gain. I had a bit too much wine last night, too many carbs and not enough water. I have a short run planned for today. IF is going to be tough today bc I drank that wine at 9, but I’m going to give it my best!
06/24 - 193.3
06/25 - 196.6 - (Yikes!)
06/26 - 194.6
06/27 - 193 - This round has been a roller coaster for me. A lot of the weight gain is water (TOM + lifting) so my goal for today is to complete my training run and drink 100 oz of water.
06/28 - 192.7 - Still making my way back down. Drank lots of water yesterday and didn't go overboard with my eating yesterday. I managed to complete my training run last night and I'm doing outdoor yoga this morning (if the rain holds off). I will try to drink 100 oz of water and get some exercise (hopefully yoga and a walk).

I stopped tracking during most of the last round. There ended up being a lot of unanticipated social events, my TOM arrived, and I also spent a lot of time simply relaxing for the first few days of summer vacation.

I'd like to workout each day and not neglect my water intake. My past rounds show when I'm diligent and focused I can expect results. I expect to be one pound lighter by the end of the challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/22 DNW Took my dad out to a few breweries for his Father's Day present. We had a great time!
06/23 DNW Tidied the house, walked downtown, took the dog for a walk around the neighborhood, and planned exercise and meals for the week.
06/24 DNW I got an oil change, grocery shopped, cleaned my living room, mowed the front yard, and did an exercise DVD today. I made sure to drink my water and I cooked all of my meals. Busy and productive!
06/25 DNW I'll weigh-in again tomorrow morning. I wanted to give my body some time to recover from my poor food and exercise choices last week and I wasn't ready to face the number on the scale. I purchased a 10 lb kettle bell today and have done a 15 minute workout. It's fun and different at the moment and I'm excited to add it to my workout rotation. I also got an air fryer and I made some delicious salmon in it for lunch. It's a little small, but I hardly ever have to cook for more than the two of us. I'm planning on making air fried chicken thighs for dinner. I've had a can of seltzer with lunch, I have a full 15 oz water bottle to get through, and then I'll be drinking water with dinner. No beer for me until I get at least 45 oz of water!
06/26 181.8 lb The air fryer was a such a fun purchase! I made salmon and chicken yesterday and will make breaded pork cutlets tomorrow. I love how it cooks the food without heating up the house. The kettlebell was also really effective. My muscles are pleasantly sore in my legs, core, and arms. 😀 I'm planning on cleaning my basement, installing a dartboard, and giving my dog a long walk today and I'll be going to trivia tonight with my family.
06/27 181.8 lb We won trivia last night! I love going out because it reminds me about all of the things I don't know and it shows off the knowledge my family members have. My mother is fantastic at presidential trivia and my fiance is scarily good at pop culture questions. I'm getting my car fixed at the moment, then I'm going to spend the afternoon at my mother's house and tonight I'll be watching Rocket Man at the movie theater.
06/28 183.0 lb My car still needs repairs because it's a fussy Fiat and needs to go to a Fiat dealer and we missed the movie due to traffic on my fiance's commute home. Oh well. I tracked 14,783 steps and had 36 oz of water. I also did a kettlebell and a rebounder workout I found on Youtube. I had a good NSV this morning. There was a great clearance sale at a somewhat expensive clothing store I stumbled across yesterday. I picked up a pair of size 12 dress pants to wear in the 4th of July parade next week and they fit great! I was in a size 16 when I refocused on my fitness in March! 😁
06/29 184.0 lb We had burgers and fries for dinner after the movie, so no surprise with the higher number. I tracked 11,164 steps and had 39 oz of water. I did the same Youtube workouts as well. Today we're meeting a friend and her 6 month old for lunch, so I'm planning on just having coffee for breakfast and we'll see if we feel like dinner tonight to help keep calories in check.

R80 – Skipped - vacation
R81 (5) – SW 197.0

Joining a couple of days late to get back on track after vacation. My goals this round are to re-establish good habits:
1) Daily accurate logging
2) Daily exercise
3) Good hydration

Day/Weight/Comment
06/22 DNW – Last day of vacation
06/23 DNW – Travel day
06/24 197.0 – (+1.6 from my last weigh-in on 5/29)
06/25 197.0 – Okay, not too bad for 3 ½ weeks of vacation meals and treats. Giving myself a few more days to adjust to the 6-hour time change, restock the fridge, and get back on track with logging and exercise.
06/26 195.8 – Almost back to my pre-vacation weight (after correcting yesterday’s typo), but I’m thinking this morning’s drop is probably a water adjustment now that I’m fixing most of my own meals again. Still struggling with jet lag. The heat and humidity aren’t helping, so I haven’t been walking, but I’m (loosely) logging what I eat and getting enough water.
06/27 194.8 – A new low on this weight loss journey, so I’m feeling good about maintaining during my long vacation. Three months of MFP “training” before my trip helped me make good choices without feeling deprived. I also did a LOT of walking most days. I’m pretty much back on track with logging and eating at a deficit, but I need to ramp up my exercise again.
06/28 193.6 – Surprised to see another drop, but I’m assuming it’s water-related. Spent yesterday at the beach with my grandkids and got my workout in the rough surf. The water was glorious, but the sun was intense! Had a few salty snacks and did my best to stay hydrated, but this morning’s lower weight suggests I should have upped my water intake even more. I’ve got my calories set for a pound-a-week loss (currently 1580 calories), but most days this week I’ve gone over by 200-300. I’m okay with slower weight loss this summer, but I don’t want to reset my MFP goals. For now, it helps me to think of the calorie goal as a target to aim for rather than a strict limit. I’ll keep an eye on the numbers, but I won’t stress if I don’t hit the bullseye everyday.
06/29 192.8 – Hmm… Well, I’m done trying to guess how much of that initial post-vacation weight was water retention related to the long transatlantic flight. Instead, I’m embracing the new low and celebrating reaching the 20-pounds-lost mark. Did some work in the garden yesterday before it got too hot and then ran errands. Minor league baseball game with the kids last night – fixed dinner for everyone before the game and was surprised that I wasn’t even tempted by all the ballpark treats. I would have had a beer, but I’d volunteered to drive. Good hydration and under my calorie limit – I feel like I’m back on track.

@nikki062181 This 38-year-old just finished up round 80 with a 4.2lb loss. Yay!!!! I met my goal but barely the last 10 days. Here is to meeting it again in this 10 days. I was 17lbs from my goal weight and have since gained 17 additional pounds. I'd like to at least lose those 17 lbs before I have to start teaching again. I've had it hard the last year. My MIL, who I consider my Mom, passed away from a long battle with lung cancer. My Grandpa passed away 8 months later. I graduated from college while being married and having 3 kiddos, and completed my first year in the classroom last year. I also found out that my middle child is battling multiple mental illnesses, which were triggered by the loss of his Grandma. I had to take a step away from my weight loss journey. My family needed me, but I need to be healthy too. So, here I am...going for it again.

GOALS FOR THE WEEK!

First step: Continue to track calories
Second step: Continue to measure my portions
Third step: Continue to cut out carbonated beverages
Fourth step: Continue to cut out too many sweets
5th step: Push water!!!!
6th step: Take my B12 supplement daily at lunch because I have a deficiency
7th step: Walk 15 minutes a day at minimum and do arm exercises starting on Monday for this goal.

OSW: 232 lbs
CSW: 154.8 lbs
CGW: 150 - 151
UGW: 125 lbs

Here is to wishing we can all achieve our goal! 🙏

6/22: 154.8 I ate a very healthy, high protein lunch yesterday, so I could have pancakes, hashbrowns, and a flurry for my birthday treat. I am so glad I did because I did not want to wake up and regret my weight gain this morning. I had almost forgotten to take my B12 also, so I ended up taking that one late. I'm very inconsistent with the time I weigh myself too. When I head back into work in August, times will finally be consistent. Until then, I want to enjoy when I get up...whenever that is.
6/23: 154.2 My son begged me not to make anything healthy because his gf came over last night, and he didn't want to be embarrassed. My husband asked me to eat whatever I wanted when I ordered carryout from this pizza joint. I knew I had treated myself already because of my birthday on Friday. So, I had a salad with extra protein and some breadsticks. It paid off. 😁
6/24: 153.8 I have really been enjoying these smoothies for breakfast. They're quite yummy. Since I have life threatening food allergies, I have to be creative when making some things. So, I cannot use a lot of fruit or fillers like most are able to. However, the ones I've been having are quite refreshing.
6/25: 152.6 A NEW LOW for many months! I did not do well on the water intake. I did complete my first day of exercise on the 30 day challenge. I changed it from arm to full body. Since it finally did not rain either, I went biking for a half hour too.
6/26: 152.4 I struggled yesterday. I was not feeling well at all. I didn't eat or drink well. I did complete my full body workout though. I remember why I cannot stand squats.
6/27: 154.4 🤔 Maybe because I ate later or did not drink enough? 🤷‍♀️
6/28: 153.8 Back down to where I was 4 days ago. I feel like a yo-yo. I have a feeling I will not meet my goal this round, so I'm hoping that I at least lose some weight.
6/29: 152.8 I let myself have a high carb, high calorie treat day yesterday.

06/22: 162.6

06/23: 162.4 busy day yesterday. At a scout event all day. Not the best food options but active and lots of steps!

06/24: 162.4 I wonder if I will ever lose this first 10 pounds. I need to stay on track all week. I've been lax in my logging. Not off the rails though. The 4th of July will start off time away, celebrations, and vacations through the rest of the summer. Need my on days to be very on and my off days to be few/reasonable/maintenance.


06/25: 162.0 finally seeing this number again! Now if I can get below it!

06/26: 161.2 very nice!
