8/5-170-Big weekend of eating and drinking. Monday is always a good day to regroup and get back on track.
8/6-168-
8/7-166-That just goes to show how much garbage I ate over the weekend 🙄. I got my 7 mile walk in and drank lots of water.
8/8-167-Salty food and only got 1/2 of my walk in. Finally it’s cool in the evening for another short walk.
8/9/165-Better food choices, big walk and water.I’m off to yoga this morning, hoping to stretch my legs good after my horseback riding Monday and my big walks this week.
It’s nice to have all of you here!!!🌸☕️11 -

Starting over AGAIN. Was fortunate throughout much of my life to be naturally thin. After two kids, was carrying around an extra 10 pounds. Lost those 10 pounds three years ago with MFP. Surprisingly, wasn’t as hard as I thought with careful MFP logging and exercise. In the intervening three years have let those 10 pounds+ creep back up with working much longer hours, focus on kids, much less formal exercise and not being careful at all with eating (i.e., too much junk food and snacking generally). Clothes don’t fit anymore and feel blah generally. Have tried a week here and a week there, but no real commitment to make a meaningful change. Going to try again now. Trick the first time was the game aspect - wearing Fitbit to see steps add up / logging food and then weighing daily as the “reward” for good habits. Set up now to do all three again this time. Started last week, and saw one pound down over the course of the week. With not too much to lose generally and being older, figure one pound a week is all I can hope for without being reckless (don’t want unsustainable short term success resulting in long term failure). Just one pound per week already has me on 1200 calories per MFP. Fingers crossed and hope my will power stays strong. The beginning is the hardest part!

08/01: 317.7 (-1.6) ... starting to recover from my recent uptick.
08/02: 316.1 (-1.6) ... more uptick recovery. This is where I should have been at the end of last round, sigh.
08/03: 314.9 (-1.2) ... back down to my previous low from last week.
08/04: 314.8 (-0.1) ... new low, barely.
08/05: 315.2 (+0.4) … as far as fluctuations go, this is pretty minor. I was pretty lazy this past weekend due to being sick. That ends now - took a six mile bike ride and a one mile walk before work today.
08/06: 314.8 (-0.4) … to be honest, I'd be happy enough if I just maintained this weight for the rest of the challenge.
08/07: 313.1 (-1.7) ... feeling good this morning! Completed the first day of the Couch to 5k program.
08/08: 313.5 (+0.4) ... VERY happy about this. Yesterday I didn't think to weigh myself until after my run, and I figured most of the loss was through sweat and that I'd rebound hard today.
08/09: 314.4 (+0.9) … Little uptick likely due to eating a heavier meal for dinner. Completed Couch to 5k W1D2 this morning.

08/06 152.3 had a great time at the lake. Went for a morning jog each day. No internet so tracking food was a lot of guess work especially because my lovely mother in law did all the amazing cooking. Beer seems to taste so much better at the cabin but I limited myself to one light beer a day. I was so happy to jump on the scale today and see that commitment to my goals paid off.
08/07 151.3 tracked, stayed under calorie budget, exercised
08/08 150.7 staying the course is paying off. Today’s goal is to work on adding some healthy lunch options to my meal plans so I can happily continue to stay under budget.
08/09 150.4 still feeling good and maintaining the habits I’ve been working on: exercised, tracked and stayed under calorie budget. A little frustrated with my scale. Need new batteries I think so I hope The numbers this week are reliable.
08/10 will not be able to weigh
I’ll be away tomorrow so that’s a wrap for my first round! Looking forward to round 86!

This round might be a little rough, my birthday, my husband’s new job/schedule, and my usual pre-tom water weight stall fall in this round. I have pre-planned my birthday to stay on track, but sadly there is little I can do about hormones, or work schedules, so I’ll just have to stay on track and wait.
8/1 303.0 A nice start to the round. I’m hopeful of getting down a little more before the tom stall starts.
8/2 302.0 I wasn’t expecting this drop. I did extra weights yesterday and thought I would have a bounce or maintain. This makes a total of 80 pounds lost this year and I’m inching ever closer toward my next goal.
8/3 301.6 The trick this weekend is to stay on track even with my birthday tomorrow. We have a little extra money and it’s hard not to say let’s just go out. But I’m only two pounds from my next big goal and while I won’t make it there tomorrow I know that I will soon.
8/4 304.8 So for my birthday I got a 3.2 pound gain of water weight. I’ve been on track so I know that it has to be a water bounce from some source or another. I’ll be back down whenever this is passes.
8/5 304.2 I stayed on track and mostly on plan yesterday. I ate into my activity calories by 100 to have a cupcake that my daughter insisted had to be bought for me.
Because I was up yesterday I took the plunge and weighed at an earlier time that works better for the new household schedule. It’s all good though and while I didn’t account for a bounce up I knew this round would see some trouble with losing. Thankfully I don’t have anything else major happening until the end of the month so once tom comes the weight will go.
8/6 305.2 Wrong way again. I’ve had this happen before and it’s a matter of waiting it out because afterwards I have several big drops. I’m on track, though a little carb heavy last night , so I know that this is temporary.
8/7 304.8 I’m staying on track with calories, my food plan not so much. It’s okay though it’s more important to me to stay on track calorie wise than macro wise. The cravings for chocolate will pass. Tom, if on time, should show up in the next few days.
8/8 304.2 Right direction. I was on track with everything yesterday and got a few nice walks in
8/9 302.8 I wasn’t expecting this drop, but it’s nice and hopefully just the start of several more.

I’m in going for my 2nd round. My first ten day round had a lot of traveling/camping. These next ten days will be more structured.
My goal this round is to cut out sugar and cut back on gluten, continue drinking 100 oz water per day, get at least 20 minutes of cardio per day, and get enough sleep.

08/08 - 156 lbs so much for these ten days being more structured. My work schedule changed up my routine and it’s taken me a few days to get in the new swing of things. Unfortunately I have not been doing my cardio or keeping up with my water. I need to keep up with this challenge and stay accountable!
08/09 -156 lbs need to get back in the food tracking routine and water intake. Yesterday I just wasn’t feeling it. Even with all the schedule changes, missed weigh ins and cardio, I have been maintaining healthy eating and cutting out sugar. Today is cardio day

08/02: 222.9 Got a little carried away with the nachos we had for dinner, plus ate way too late!
08/03: 221.2 Finally the numbers are going in the right direction. Got my 10,000 steps in yesterday.
08/04: DNW
08/05: 220.0 I'm pretty happy about this 😀
08/06: 218.8 Only got in 5500 steps, but got in the pool for just a bit. Trying to do keto and IF.
08/07: 218.1 Got in just over 7000 steps. Doing IF and only ate one time yesterday. Of course it helped that I had a Dr. appointment at 1:45 in the afternoon and needed to go in fasting. By the time I got out of his office, went to the lab and waited, we finally got to eat at 5pm.
08/08: 217.0 I'm having a difficult time believing the scales. Surely this must be water weight. Though I am happy the scales are going down 😊
08/09: 216.7 I didn't get anywhere close to getting my steps in yesterday. Started having a flare-up of RA on the sole of my left foot... so painful I can hardly put any weight on that foot. Still doing Keto and IF.

08/01 - 209.4 up a little, not sure why, I ate so lightly yesterday because my cold has killed my appetite. Oh well, feeling better today and able to actually do some work again 😊 ate healthy but didnt workout.. still a little sick. But otherwise, great day! Still psyched about my progress
08/02 - 208.6 feeling much better, went to work and the gym for the first time all week! Stuck to my calorie goals well and feeling very proud of myself
08/03 - 207.6 so tired this morning... Woke up hours earlier than I needed to. Went on a hike w friends which was fun but way too hot and sunny. Spent a lot of the day hydrating. Did a good job sticking to diet
08/04 - 207.2 omg! The lowest weight I've been in a year. So happy 🤩 didn't exercise, taking a rest day to be ready for personal training tomorrow. Stuck to calorie goals well even though fh got me some keto ice cream. It was delicious
08/05 - 208.6 uh oh... Why is the scale up so much? I stayed under calories. Maybe from the ice cream? Hoping it goes down tomorrow. Had a great personal training session and stayed welllll below calories so hopefully I turn it back around tomorrow.
08/06 - 209 even higher and I feel so bloated. I'm not sure why the scale is up even more today when I ate so little yesterday and exercised a lot. Hopefully this is just an anomalous flux and I'll get back to losing soon. I just get scared bc with PCOS issues, every time I start a new diet it works for a week or two and then stops even when I stick to it. I really hope that's not what is happening right now. Sticking to my calories really well today and went to the gym which is always a win. Fingers crossed this weight loss trajectory turns around soon
08/07 - 207.4... back down. Would be psyched but there's a catch. Got food poisoning or something and spent all last night throwing up and all of today in bed barely eating, trying not to get sick again. Not placing much stock in today or tomorrow's number but hoping to feel better soon and to keep losing once health returns. No exercise, way under calorie/macro goals
08/08 - 208.4... back up. Probably where I was all along and the food poisoning yesterday just made it go down more. Feeling much better today. Stuck to nutritional goals and exercised super hard at tye gym w weight lifting and 40 min intense exercise. Hoping for a drop tomorrow...
08/09 - 209 😭 honestly, I just don't understand. I was getting such good results with keto for the first two weeks and now it's like no matter what I do, even sticking to my macro and calorie targets and exercising a lot, my weight goes up. Maybe this PCOS just wont let me lose even on this super low carb diet. Will stick to my diet today but no exercise planned as I'm presenting at a conference all day. Fingers crossed for a loss tomorrow

Yesterday’s stats: 902 Calories In / 2657 Calories Out. 18 Net Carbs. 19,242 Total Steps & 8.14 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours (missed one during hair appointment) & I slept 4 hours & 41 minutes. I've exceeded my 2 lb goal (loss) this round. Now, just to preserve it!
08/08 …..195.8 ….. Happy to see it continue downward. Need more water. Slipped up & had a bit of Sherbet yesterday, otherwise pretty good day for food & moderate exercise. Yesterday’s Stats: 1688 Calories In / 2682 Calories Out. 61 Net Carbs. 13,553 Total Steps & 5.74 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 42 minutes. I have been sleeping better lately with more nights in or near the 5 hour range. I’m not sure why but I’m loving it. I walked twice yesterday at a moderate pace which burned a total of 194 extra calories. The second walk was the longest & I went because of the sherbet. Tomorrow I would like to take my new girlfriend to the local fish fry. She loves fish but struggles financially. I would love to buy her dinner as she is always helpful to me when I need it. Last time I went I did incredibly well with bringing much of it home to my son.
08/09 …..196.2 ….. Fluid retention today. PHENOMONAL DAY YESTERDAY. I beat all my previous records. Yesterday’s stats: 1554 Calories In / 3710 Calories Out. 60 Net Carbs (I ate the soft shells on the tacos). 25,545 Total Steps & 10.81 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 3 minutes (woo hoo!) I walked for 82 minutes at a moderately brisk pace. I did low impact aerobics for 48 minutes. I vigorously cleaned tourist cabins for 315 minutes which was particularly grueling this week. I knew this would be a high burn week for me as it’s a busy time of year here at my business. Sunday will be the most amount of work! I have tried to maximize on it all. A bit of an uptick on the scale after all the exercise, but I’m sure it’s just water retention from tacos & exercise. I had a 2156 calorie deficit so it can't be fat gained! Have a great weekend everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/01: 228.8 (-0.4)/19.5 (-0.1). First day back, tracked all my food, and was under calories by a bit. So far, so good. I may try to hit the gym today, but if not today, tomorrow for sure.
08/02: 229.0 (+0.2)/19.5 (0.0). It took me one day to remember one of the main reasons why getting healthy and fit can be a challenge. Wife and I got take-out last night, and she picked up the food. I ordered EXACTLY what I wanted, and she decided to order 510 calories worth of food that I didn't ask for. It's hard for me to say no when it's in front of me. I would have been just about at my calorie goal otherwise.
08/03: 228.4 (-0.6)/19.4 (-0.1). Didn't eat particularly well yesterday, especially in the evening, but did better with portion control than I have recently (little steps). I had a couple of glasses of delicious red wine with dinner, and a healthy little snack in the evening. But my wife is gone for the next three days, so I should be able to get a nice jump-start/boost into my weight loss. I'm also headed to the gym as soon as I'm finished posting; I'll let you all know how it goes in my post tomorrow!
08/04: 230.4 (+2.0)/19.6 (+0.2). Hmm. I went to the gym yesterday, and I felt better than I have in a long time. Ate within my calories... didn't even eat back my exercise calories... and I'm up 2.0 lbs. If I take a snapshot of the last 24 hours it makes no sense. But if I think about my eating the two days prior, I get it. Consequences seem to occur a day or two later than I expect them to. I had did well yesterday, and I'll focus on having a good day today as well.
08/05: 229.8 (-0.6)/19.5 (-0.1). I ate better most of the day, but went to a birthday party in the evening. I generally did a good job with portion control, but missed my calorie goal by about 150.
08/06: 230.2 (+0.4)/19.6 (+0.1). This weigh-in was maddening (at first). I didn't get it. I was good yesterday, ALL DAY LONG. How the hell do I gain weight when I'm GOOD!?!? I think I know the answer. Because. I've had an up-and-down first challenge, and, for the most part, I've hit my calorie goal at about a 50% clip, including two days where I had 2+ drinks. I also know that, in the past, there's no linear relationship between what I do (or eat) in a day and the following day's weigh-in. I forget sometimes how important it is to look for trends, no matter how much I know this. I'm going to try to finish strong; my adjusted goal for the challenge is to lose a total of 0.2 lbs, which would mean losing 1.2 lbs over the next four weigh-ins.
08/07: 228.6 (-1.6)/19.4 (-0.2). That's better... a WHOOSH! This challenge has been filled with a lot of "ups," so it's nice to finally have a little bit of a "down" when reading the scale. I was under my calorie goal again yesterday; that part of things seems to be getting easier. I'm able to say "no" to things like french fries and sweets, where I have had serious difficulty with either previously. When the wife and I order out, I'm EXPLICIT about what I would like, what I DO NOT want (she likes to add a cookie or side she is buying FOR ME without asking), and how I'm NOT going to graze on anything she has left over (another bad habit of mine). I love being accountable, as much as I hate it. It feels like it's been a roller-coaster ride this so far, but it's so nice to be able to look back over the week and think about areas in which I can improve. I'm feeling really motivated to finish off this challenge in a strong way. I also talked with a co-worker yesterday, who decided I HAVE TO get more cardio in (I like to lift weights, but I hate cardio). I'm going to commit, every time I go to the gym, to either 30 minutes on the elliptical (steady state) or doing an HIIT workout on the elliptical. I'm also going to work basketball back into my schedule. I'm aiming eventually to go twice per week, but I'll start with one for a while. I will be in the gym tonight.
Two side notes - 1) I finished GOT last night (not sure how I feel about the ending yet), and 2) I've been in these challenges before, but under a different name. I felt like I had to change things up in order to get some traction, so I deleted my old MFP account.
08/08: 225.8 (-3.0)/19.1 (-0.5). Another WHOOSH!!!. Sometimes they just seem to happen when you need them, and I am REALLY happy it happened during my first challenge. Have I been perfect? No, not at all. Have I been working really hard? Yes. I really have. I deserve this today. Slightly over calories last night, and did not make it to the gym, but ate REALLY healthy.
08/09: 225.4 (-0.4)/19.1 (0.0). Today I'm kind of just happy to be where I'm at (no bounce back after having a couple of good scale days. I was on-target with calories, though that included a "later" snack and a glass of chardonnay. I'm struggling a little bit to get to the gym. I generally get home from work before my wife; I think I'll try going to the gym right after work at least a couple of times each week. Most of the time I'll probably be home and showered before she even gets home.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/01 -133.4 lbs. - Going to start walking everyday again as well as logging everything. My 10 yr old suggested doing a monthly challenge again, he chose squats this month lol I think he’s secretly trying to kill me....
08/02 132.6 stayed in my calories yesterday and got my steps in. Don’t know why I always dread going for my walks or a workout when I always feel better afterwards... have to try to change my mindset on that one.
08/03 131.2 got my steps, drank lots of water, and stayed in my calorie goal yesterday, keeping up with the squat challenge, my legs are sore!
08/04 132.8 ended up going out and eating salty food and drinking a few beer. Not really over over cals but it shows on the scale.
08/05 133.8 ate over...despite my big walk I ate crappy and didn’t drink my water. Hopefully I can undo the damage before the end of the challenge.
08/06 131.6 yesterday I stayed in my cal goal and had an active day of swimming and yoga.
Goal is to drink lots of water today and hit the elliptical as the weather is stormy here in Ontario.
08/07 133.0, well for *kitten* sakes..... stayed in cals so must be water?
08/08 forgot to weigh
08/09 134.4 I really think I’m retaining water as I’ve been under cals. Haven’t been drinking lots of water and food has been salty so I think it’s showing....

08/01 – 163.6 – Had a pretty good day yesterday except for the salt/sweet pecans in the evening which did me in. Today is a planning day – setting priorities for this fall/winter as I look at what needs to get done for us to move in the spring. Should be motivational for weight loss but sometimes that backfires with me. I’ve found setting goals can freak me out and I just head for the metaphorical woods screaming which undermines everything I’m trying to do. Incorporating small habit changes works better but they still need to have some plan/focus.
08/02 – 162.8 – There goes the water weight, now will have to really work to get the next lb gone.
08/03 - 163
08/04 – 163 Weighed yesterday but got a long phone call before I could post and the day just got away on me. Good last couple of days but it will take a few to fight back down from the uptick. Fresh veggies✔ exercises x
08/05 – 162.8 Fresh veggies✔ exercises✔ some LNS but on fruit. Feel so yucky when I first get up in the morning. I think I need to have a whole week of low fat and no snacking after supper to see if that helps.
08/06 – 164 – Did weigh but no time to post as off to an appointment in the city.
08/07 – 164 - Not sure why this is staying up. It’s been hot (for us, nothing like southern States). Got home hot, tired and annoyed. Was delayed getting to my appt. because of a bad accident and then twice in the day almost had someone back into me. Really need to just be thankful I got home fine with my important errands done. LNS - some chocolate but mostly blueberries and skim yogurt. Fresh veggies✔ exercises X tracking cals X
08/08 – 163.6 - Spent most of a hot day figuring out new window cover options for the bedroom and putting in an online order – two huge time sucks. Did get in some outdoor gardening in the evening which was beautiful. Fresh veggies✔ exercises X tracking cals X
08/09 – 164 – Back here again. Good day yesterday till LNS on corn thins. Tackled thinning the raspberries after supper and then felt like just relaxing and eating. Such a bad habit. I wonder how many of the pounds that I’m carrying around, dragging me down every day, are just from LNS.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/01: 202.8 . First day ever doing this, tracked all my food, and was under calories by a lot. So far, so good. Getting comfortable with it slowly but surely.
08/02: 202.0 even with the struggle of hanging out watching the dodger game. Limiting myself to only a few lower calorie beers. Few chips and salsa. And nothing else, I was able to stay under my calorie count by a small amount. Really only because I worked out hard enough before so I could have those yummy things.
08/03: 201.6. Going in the right direction. Stayed under my calories for the day. Had a great workout. Got all my water in plus some. Getting into a rhythm to get me where I want to be. Yay!!
08/04: 202.8. OOPPSS WRONG WAY! didn’t have a strong day yesterday. Had a girls day and enjoyed myself. Today is a new day and back on track. I’m going to get rid of that pound I gained and some!
08/05: 202.4. Not what I wanted or expected. I know I have a lot of water weight going on. Had a great day yesterday with exercise. Plenty of water. And stayed under my calories. This heat has me retaining water. Or at least that’s what I’ll keep telling myself.
08/06: 202.0. Not where I want to be.. but on my way! Had a great day yesterday stayed within my calories without starving myself. Plenty of water. And had a great workout. I love being back in the gym. No stopping me now... hopefully.
08/07: 200.8 is this for real?? A little accountability and motivation can truly go a long way. Finding myself again mentally and physically are showing me i can reach the goals I have set for myself. I’m not allowing anyone to get in my way. And even when good food and drinks are dangled in my face. I don’t turn them down I just limit myself and portion my food. I have found enjoyment in the gym again and even being there by myself I push myself. There is no greater enemy than the person staring back at me in the mirror. I can’t wait to keep this journey going!
08/08: 199.6. Getting there! Yesterday I didn’t feel like i had a “great” day. But it wasn’t horrible. Didn’t get as much gym time as I wanted but every little but helps to keep me on track. Food choices were ok. But dinner for someone’s bday had me really paying attention to what was going into my body.
08/09: 201.4 well this is super frustrating. I’ve been doing super good. Even went to the county fair last night and stayed away from things. If I knew this was gonna happen I would’ve enjoyed myself more. I was under my calorie count and walked over 15,000 steps. I’m super disappointed and starting to realize why i never do these things.

Back again. I've been backsliding (can you slide up?) since Dec. and it stops now, no more excuses. So new plan & goals....
Food -- cut out added sugars & flour products; focus on healthy plant-based foods with some fish & chicken. Calorie goal ~1200.
Exercise -- Aim for a 4-6 mile walk most days; weights either working in garden/house or at gym.
Weight -- I don't like to set weight goals since I can control only what I eat & do, not what I weigh. However, my aim this round is to be consistently below 160, and my goal for Aug. is to be below 155.

OK, I seriously considered fibbing about this. But I did not gain 2.8 pounds overnight, so this is water. Still, though, terrifying. But I'm serious now -- new month, new plan, new goals, new attitude. I'm also going to aim for no evening snacks. I've been eating way too many calories between 9-11 pm. If my cat will let me, I think I'll knit to keep my hands occupied. If he won't, I'll sit on them.
If I don't have a downward trend over the next 10 day, please, someone, kick my butt.
8/2 - 161.8
I did pretty well yesterday, but I'm still working on my garden (now laying edging and mulch, painting furniture, transplanting plants, ....) and I'm HUNGRY in the evening. I did stick to pretty healthy snacks last night, though. One step at a time. And I'm so happy about my back yard transformation! I'm next.

🥘 Was under calories and macros were off again. Really hard to hit protein but I’ve still got a lot of adjustments I can make so I’ll keep working on it. Plus side is my protein is much higher than it used to be.

My highest weight was 197# at 5’4”. I’m 48 years old.
I was 189# when I first started keto (1/1/18), and had gotten down to 150# before I let life interrupt me.
Round 83 (my round 1) SW - 165.5, AW - 163.25
Round 84 (my round 2) SW - 160, AW - 161.2
Round 85 (my round 3)
8/1 - 159.5 - started beef & butter yesterday. Not angry about the weight loss. Am over the headache I had last night.
8/2 - 159 - worked out yesterday, so I have some water retention, but that’s expected. Staying the course with beef & butter.
8/3 - 159
8/4 - 159 - I’m tired of this number.
8/5 - 159 - look! Again!!
8/6 - 159.5 - well. That’s not what I wanted. 😒 I need to TMI. Maybe that would help. Ugh!
8/7 - 158.5 - finally a different number! Frustrated is an understatement, but I’m staying the course. Lots of changes happening and still basically no activity, so I just have to ride this out while my body finds the new “normal”.
8/8 - 158 - more movement. Can it be real!?!
8/9 - 158 - hanging in there!9 -
@untrachelable I am right there with you. Because of my thyroid issues I will gain if I even look at food, but takes me forever to lose a pound. I have been on this road for 13 months now and just barely am hitting 40 pounds lost. It does get frustrating at times, but keep at it and it will be worth it.7

Back again! Saw 141.7 last round once so I would like to get back down to that this round. Goals are to stay under 145.0 and drop my 10 day average again. I would also like to see a new low, but the last round I dropped 4 pounds and bounced around a lot. So this round I would be happy just to stabilize at 141/142.
Age 39 for another 5 weeks, Height 5' 3.5"
Last couple of rounds stats
Round 82: 146.5 - 146.3 Avg 146.93
Round 83: 146.3 - 145.9 Avg 146.72
Round 84: 145.9 - 143.7 Avg 144.28
08/01- 143.7 still holding onto Tuesday nights date night. Was hoping I would drop, but still hanging out here. Was on track all day yesterday and so far today I have been good. I have dinner planned tonight and we will be watching the first football game of the season, so should be relaxing for the most part.
08/02- 142.2 this is more where I thought I should have been the last couple of days. My 5 day average is the lowest it has been and maybe I will hit a new low tomorrow on my "official weigh in day". Last Saturday I weighed in at 141.7, so we will see what it says tomorrow. Dinner is in the crock pot and planned and so far today I have been on track. Took my daughter (my middle child) to go and register for her senior year of high school and get her schedule. Can't believe I will have another one graduating this year.
08/03- 142.2 way to many beers last night again. I have to get it together. I have done that twice now this week. I pretty much drank my calories last night, which is not doing anything for my weight loss. Had a good time, but isn’t going to help me lose these last couple of pounds and get into the 130’s. Water, water, no alcohol, and eat right today and maybe I will see a drop by Monday.
08/04- 142.2 Holding steady. Going to see Hobbs and Shaw with the hubby today and probably grab some lunch. We have to do a couple of maintenance things around the house this morning and buy a new lawn mower. So hopefully I can stay on tack and start getting it together.
08/05- 144.6 did not keep it together at all yesterday. Food was spot on, but had a couple of drinks at the movies and then a couple of more at dinner after the movies. I think I am replacing food with liquor. I am trying really hard not to snack and instead I am noticing I am drinking more. We did not buy popcorn or candy while at the movies because I didn't want the extra calories, but instead ended up drinking my beers faster and having more than normal. So this week I am going to have to switch something up.
08/06- 144.0 was on track all day yesterday. Still up from Sunday and Fridays shenanigans, but should be back down by tomorrow. Looking to finish this round strong, but have had numerous days where I was slacking and less days that I was working in this 10 day challenge. So I am trying to change that now. 4 days left to get back to 141 and it's easily doable if I stick to it and not mess up the next couple of days.
08/07- 142.1 Back down again. On track for today and meals are planned. Looking to drop again tomorrow, but we will see what happens. I never know anymore what that stupid scale will say in the am, lol. If I can hang out at around 141.xx for the rest of the challenge and stabilize I will be happy.
08/08- 142.1 I was expecting to be lower this morning, but I am the same. Usually I have a 3 pounds difference in my weight from when I weigh at night and the next morning. Last night I weighed 144.0, so I should have been 141.xx, but obviously I didn't. Was on track all day and have everything planned today. Happy with my progress and looking to finish up the round strong!
08/09- 140.8 well I finally got a new low this morning! My next happy scale milestone was actually 140.7, so close, but no cigar. I am sure I will have a bounce up tomorrow because this was a pretty good drop, but it will be a nice way to end this round if I can maintain it tomorrow. I really wanted to treat myself today for almost finishing the 140's decade with a nice big lunch out or a big calorie splurge, but instead chose to go and get a pedicure on my lunch break. I have red chili enchiladas in the crock pot for dinner tonight and the last couple of times as long as I do mine like a salad instead of with tortillas and all the cheese I have been fine. We will see what happens on the scale tomorrow. Pretty happy with my progress the last couple of rounds. 1 more day, stay strong tonight!

08/03 153.8 - 6,000, 30 minute swim. Since back to work this week, I am having to choose walk or swim. There is barely time for one so the days of both are mostly over. I’m still battling TOM water retention with swollen legs so the pool looked fabulous last night. All the first week lunches and treats should die down now and start getting to a normal work routine, at least by mid-week. So, hoping for some drops next week.

@jenn990205 thank you for sharing! That is so encouraging. Congratulations on your progress. I know how frustrating it is to have slow progress, but better than none! Your story gives me hope 💖2
