No change from yesterday. Kind of nice. Didn’t start my fat fast yet as I don’t want to throw food. But I’m limiting it, I’m not snacking aside from vitamins. Vegas weight is still there. I’ve also been eating 2h later than usual. Will try to stop at 7 tonight instead of 8.
08/22 159.6lbs (-0.6 lbs)
I’m surprised. I finished eating just 30min earlier than the past week or so. I had fries for lunch, but only some salami and HWC for dinner. Feels good to see a green entry for a change.
08/23 159.4lbs (-0.2 lbs)
I’m still not back to keto. No plans to this weekend, but I’m still slowly getting back to where I was which I like. I only do 2 meals per day, and it seems to work.
08/24 160.2lbs (+0.8 lbs)
So I’m back again. I did have some HWC very late last night instead of just water. I think that could have save me. Will be fasting to late afternoon today. At home for a change (haven’t been home over a weekend for 3 weeks now), so it might actually be doable today. Gonna stick to some well needed fasting, and keto today. All my carb foods are finally gone after the camping.
08/25 159.8lbs (-0.4 lbs)
So back down a little. Damn water weight. At least I’m still lower than I was before the camping trip. Still got 4 more lbs t lose before I’m back to pre-Vegas.
08/26 161.4lbs (+2.4 lbs)
I was exhausted yesterday. I didn’t drink enough, cooked for the next 2 weeks I believe (meant to only do one week). Was on my feet running to farmer’s market, Safeway, cooking, and cleaning out some stuff from the apartment all day from 10am to I believe 6pm. Didn’t sit once. Ended up in splurging on chocolate in the evening. It’s like I’ve lost anything called discipline. And the weight reflects it. I have a plan for the week. Now I just have to follow through. It hasn’t been my biggest accomplishment this past month. Let’s see what happens.
08/27 160.4 (-1.0 lbs)
Well, on of yesterday’s 2.4lbs gone. I wasn’t able to skip dinner, so had some cheese with cold cuts. I managed an 18h fast, and I stopped at 7 instead of 8. It was a struggle at 8 though. Brain hunger set in. I had only had 800cals, but it was all protein, some fat, and 35g of carbs (half of it from vitamin gummies). I really wasn’t hungry as a glass of water removed all my hunger pains. Today I’m aiming at another 18h fast, I have nothing planned for dinner tonight as I’ll be going out with mom and dad for lunch. I need to get back to my ADF as that is the only time I’ve constantly lost weight.
08/28 159.6lbs (-0.8 lbs)
Ok, so almost back to where I was before the weekend? I’m taking it! I finally were able to do the planned fasting. While I didn’t stick fully to keto, I had potato gratin and a couple of fries, I did manage to only have lunch, my vitamins as afternoon snack, and that’s it. Got home very late, so decided not to have dinner. Didn’t sleep very well though, but that was because of temperature issues. :P

08/21-210.9 - I had a super stressful morning and that is when I'd usually get McDonald's but I didn't!! I also passed on free A&W for lunch at work tomorrow. YESSS! Starting off strong!
08/22 - 209.1 - Last night was rough but I made it with a calorie deficit! I'm feeling really motivated.
08/23 -210.3 - Oh HELL NAW!! Lol well, I did have subway yesterday and went over on my sodium. Not a good way to start my Friday but I still made my salad for lunch. I've been weighing my food lately so I know it's not a true gain.
08/24 - 208.6 - Woohoooo! Buuut I must confess! I had a really crappy morning and ended up binge eating some chocolate chips. I'm trying really hard to separate my emotions from eating. I'm going to do what I can to salvage today but I have a feeling that the almost 1000 calories I consumed in chocolate and milk will reflect in tomorrow's weight. Oh well! It's a step forward regardless. At least I'm logging it and owning up to it instead of pretending it didnt happen!
08/25 - 209.7 - As I suspected!! Lol
08/26 - 210.9 - I had another not so great day yesterday. We went to the Keg and I went over my calories and consumed a lot of sodium so not my best couple of days. The good news is that I'm back on it today!!
08/27 - 209.9 - Well, at least it's going back down! I stayed within my calorie goal yesterday and still retaining some water. TOM.
08/28 - 208.8 - Woooooo! Get it giiirl! Let's see if I can hit my goal in two days!

08/21- 172.4 Today’s drop is probably just water weight. I played a lot of tennis yesterday in humid conditions so not getting too excited about the numbers yet.
08/22- 173.3 Just as I expected. Kept calories low but I figured the weight would go back up a little once I was properly hydrated. No planned activity yesterday or for the next few days. May need to get on the treadmill (which I hate!!!)

GW this round: 127.9-128.9 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
08/21 128.0 Eating more than usual over the past couple of days, though still never above my MFP calorie limit, and it's interesting to see this result. In the 30 days marked by Rounds 80-83, I was totally plateaued at 134. Then during the 30 days marked by Rounds 84-86, I've had an average 1-lb loss. I honestly can't explain it, other than the old aphorism "weight loss isn't linear."
08/22 127.6 I've been reviewing my logs because every little bite goes into MFP, and all I can see is that I'm consistently eating slightly above 1200 calories a day (I'm not paying attention to anything else), and I guess my body was ready for a whoosh? No exercise (true for my entire journey, beginning in March at 158 lbs).
At about 5 lbs away from my ultimate goal weight, I should be thrilled that my hard work has WORKED...but I'm feeling a bit down. I don't feel like my lower weight reflects how I actually look: my arms are still SUPER flabalicious, I have lots of squishiness in my stomach when I sit down, and I don't feel suddenly liberated to wear new clothes. My silhouette is still unflattering in a dress or any kind of form-fitting outfit. Blah.
08/23 128.8 Okay.
08/24 127.6 Maybe I'll bounce between 127-128 this round, and that's fine. Definitely seem to be squarely in the 120s!
08/25 129 Saturday was a rare day of fairly unrestricted gluttony: a fast food meal, a big dinner, my usual ice cream bar, and a candy bar, yikes. No big insights. I can't really explain why I didn't bother to restrain myself more, except I'm losing quickly and told myself I have some wiggle room because I want to get to my final goal weight more slowly, believe it or not! I'm worried I'll "arrive" and be disappointed (see my post on the 22nd). Today's a clean slate, however. Back to what works.
08/26 129.9 What's that word...oh, right, it's two words: self sabotage. I slipped this weekend. I was hungrier than usual and chose not to satisfy my hunger with my go-to foods for real hunger: steamed broccoli with a measured amount of butter or some kind of protein. I make my broccoli a convenience food by having a lot of the microwave steamer bags in the freezer, and protein is always easy to find. But I went for Wetzels Pretzels and Panda Express- foods I *can* (and have) fit into my plan, but not so much on the same day, without portion control. The hunger was real, though, and I'm going to learn from it. I don't have as much to lose now- time to allow myself more HEALTHY calories every day!
08/27 129 Better. Yesterday was on track.
08/28 128.6 Even better! Got slightly over 1200 calories and some quality food in yesterday. Almost back to where I started this round, and back under this round's goal. Bye bye, weekend weight gain.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/21 - 206!! Yay! Starting this round out with a drop. Didn't sleep very much and have a bad migraine today, will probably not exercise but I'll at least take the dog for a walk. Sticking to my macro/calorie goals with my meal plan and hoping to feel better tomorrow
08/22 - 206.3! No clue what made it go up a bit but I'm starting to learn my weight fluctuates all the time so I'm trying to focus on the trend which is definitely going down. My TOM is probably not helping anything here either. Stuck to calories/macros, didn't exercise very much just walking
08/23 - 204.4!! Holy cow, what a drop! Doubt I'll stay this low through the rest of the week but it makes me feel good to see a 4 on the scale 🤩 Did a really intense workout today and am sticking to cals/macros so hopefully I continue to make progress
08/24 - 204.4 again! Wahoo! I was sure yesterday's weigh-in was a fluke but I didn't fluctuate at all overnight. I'm sure I'll fluctuate again later but at least this means that 4 wasnt a total fluke. Will try to kayak later today and sticking well to my food goals today. My FH is having a boys weekend at our house this weekend and their wives cancelled our girls weekend at the last minute so I'm going to try to keep myself busy with hikes and kayaks and chores so I'm not awkwardly in the way of their boy-time. Hopefully that means extra exercise and less food temptations than I'd planned for this weekend
08/25 - 203.6! Wow, can't believe it! Another drop 🤩 so happy. Had a really frustrating day yesterday, major car troubles, then waiting at mechanic for it to be fixed, then leaving realizing it wasnt fixed, going back, waiting again, leaving again, realizing again, going back again... Didn't get much exercise then but I also didnt have time to eat much so I guess that's why there's a drop. Hopefully will have time to kayak or do something fun today. On track to stick to calorie goals for the day so far.
08/26 - 204.4 and back up again! The ways of the fluctuating weight, I guess, but still on a downward trend so I'm happy. Ended up having even more car troubles and getting a flat tire, so spent most of the day fixing that
Trying to get some work done today and focusing on sticking to my calorie goals and finding some time to exercise today.
08/27 - 204.8 up again! No clue why, hopefully just weight fluctuations. My weight loss progress chart is just a series of zig zags at this point 😋 going to the gym today to get a lot of cardio in and sticking to my calories so I can hopefully get that zig to zag its way back down
08/28 - 204.8! Ugh... Still up. I wish I could understand why I fluctuate so much for seemingly no reason. Moving forward... Good gym workout and planning to stay on track with calories today. Hoping to see a drop in the scale soon.

08/21 Weighing in at 184.5, feeling excited about this challenge
08/22 182 (-2.5) I didn’t think I’d lose anything from yesterday since I went off my meal plan. Had a cheat meal as well as a beer at the Dodger game.
08/23 181 (-1.0) Back on track and holding myself accountable.
08/24 182 +1.0 Birthday celebration at work and I went off the meal plan. Managed to stay within my calories but gained 1 pound. I had a late workout and late dinner. Today will be a better day.
08/25 182 +/- 0 Off to a good start, I went to the gym, cleaned the house, ate clean up until dinner. I had King Taco for dinner, after I tracked the 5 tacos I realized I had to much sodium for the day.
08/26 181 (-1.0) Did very well today, clean eating and 45 minute stationary back ride. Oh yeah, meal prepped for the week too ☺️
08/27 181 +/- 0 So much easier to stay on track during the week, missed the gym this morning but going after work.
08/28 180 (-1.0) Much better day today, feeling like I have more energy.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/21:211.2 There are 3 snacks that I love to eat and that I can eat without problems from my food sensitivities. Usually I eat 2 or 3 of these snacks every evening even if I'm not hungry. So yesterday I told my husband that I would only allow myself one snack each evening and that he could call me out if I ate more than one. So, last night I had one snack and it was interesting as I really became more aware of whether I was truly hungry or not or whether it was just boredom that has me snacking in the evening. This morning I also didn't feel as bloated. Run tonight.
8/22:211.8 Was raining yesterday so no run. Going to go out today.
8/23:211.8 Went out for a run yesterday, started back with C25K after my hip injury, but started at week 4 and yesterday I finished W5D1. Also went to the gym this morning and did my weightlifting. BBQ at friend's house tonight. My husband made a GF lemon cake with buttercream frosting that we are bringing over, it's his first time trying the recipe and it looks really good...I hope it tastes good too.
8/24:212.5
8/25:212.3 Didn't post yesterday. I hardly had any water and ate salty food yesterday. Hubby is visiting his relatives today, so I am trying to figure out what I want to do today. I have been feeling a need to do some decluttering and organizing lately, but I don't know if I should do the kitchen or bedroom/closet. Trainer today.
8/26:212.5 Up and down and up and down. This is definitely due to me not being tight in my eating. I've just gotta get my head back in the game.
8/27:212.0 Was tempted to have a second treat yesterday, but I resisted instead went out for a long walk with my dog and husband. Tonight I saw my trainer. Wanted another treat today but then said to myself that I wasn't hungry. I had tea tonight for the first time in a long time...I am reducing my milk intake and instead had it with oat milk, it tasted really good.
8/28: 210.7 Sore from yesterday. Rest day today. I'm just going to continue to stay focused.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/21 - 223.0 Wednesday - Ate well, but a few too many sugar-free candies
08/22 - 222.6 Thursday - Ate Well, played baseball, no late night snacking
08/23 - 221.6 Friday - Feeling tired.
08/24 - 219.6 Saturday- A great start to weekend with lots of temptations ahead
08/25 - 219.8 Sunday - Not too bad. Friends came over for a BBQ and drinks Saturday night but I was active cleaning and weeding in the morning, and saved extra calories for the evening. Had approx. maintenance level of calories but more carbs than I should have. Vodka Sodas and Splenda Mojitos.
08/26 - 221.8 Monday - Back where I was on Friday morning. I attended a catered dinner event Sunday night so I'm pretty sure this is just some water weight from hidden salt/carbs and most will be gone by tomorrow. I tracked and I should have had a small calorie deficit for the day. No alcohol.
08/27 - 220.0 Tuesday - Back on track! Low-carb eating yesterday helped that weekend water weight disappear.
08/28 - 219.6 Wednesday - Feeling good about my progress. I've now met my goal for this challenge round but I'd like to get ahead of the game before the weekend.

08/21 201.2 (-.4) had a late weigh In today. Got up and left the house early. This weigh in was after breakfast and lunch. So not too bad of results. Well see what tomorrow brings.
08/22 199.6 (-1.6) well this game as a shock to me. Although I felt I did pretty good with my calories. I wasn’t amazing. And I even went to the dodger game had a few drinks. I’m happy with the result. Now as long as I can keep this trend we’ll be great!
08/23 198.8 (-.8) staying focused. Staying on track. Even when i don’t want to. When i think I’m too tired I just keep going. I know I can do this!
08/24 199.6 (+.8) went over cal by a small amount. Didn’t work out at all. Had a rough day mentally and emotionally and just couldn’t do it. But thought I did pretty good with eating. Guess not
08/25 198.6 (-1.0) didn’t do great yesterday but didn’t do horrible. Worked out a little. Striving for a better today
08/26 199.0 (+.4) thought I had a good day yesterday. But looking forward to a better today and week. Weekends are always harder
08/27 198.6 (-.4) seems I keep the same trends. Maybe my scale only has certain numbers. I didn’t eat the best quality yesterday but I was way under calories.
08/28 198.0 (-.6) not sure how accurate this weigh in is. I don’t normally weigh in this early but I’m up. So we’ll go with it. It’s kinda just been how my weeks been going. Not sure if the weight loss is from stress, lack of sleep, my routine or all of the above

Day/Weight/Comment
8/21: 225.6 (-0.6)/19.1 (-0.1). There was a lunch celebration/going away party at work yesterday. I was very mindful about what I ate, and particularly how much. I also skipped dessert completely. Dinner was not the healthiest thing I've ever had, but I chose carefully in order to stay within calories. Today was a victory in that this was a situation in the past in which I may have very easily been derailed. I'm going to try again tonight to hit the gym. I need to check in with my wife before she leaves work to confirm that she is going to make it home on time; otherwise I'll go by myself.
8/22: 225.8 (+0.2)/19.1 (0.0). Food quantity has been pretty good, but I could do better on food quality. And exercise has GOT to make its way back into my life at some point as well. I think basketball is not coming back for another two weeks (first day will likely be 9/7/2019).
8/23: 227.0 (+1.2)/19.3 (+0.2). Okay, yesterday was pretty bad. There was an all-day meeting at the office, celebratory drinks after said meeting, and my mother's 79th birthday yesterday (Mexican dinner out, cake after). I did my best to make healthy choices, but I'm pretty sure I was significantly over in calories. I'm going to make today a good day, and I'm going to focus on having a HEALTHY CHOICE weekend (planning what I'm going to eat in advance, ESPECIALLY if/when I'm going to be eating out). It's looking more and more like I will not be seeing the basketball court tomorrow. I'm going to commit to hitting the gym at least once this weekend (today, Saturday, or Sunday).
8/24: Didn't weigh.
8/25: Didn't weigh.
8/26: 229.0 (+2.0)/19.5 (+0.3). I had an emotional, sucky weekend, and it took a bit of energy to login today to get back on track and remain accountable. Well, here I am. I'm adjusting my goal, and I'll be ecstatic if I'm able to get back to my starting weight for the round (though any progress in the downward direction would be nice at this point).
8/27: 228.6 (-0.4)/19.4 (-0.1). At this point I'm just focusing on posting here every day to be accountable. Most days (other than the weekend) I'm doing relatively well with food, but exercise has been difficult to come by. It kind of feels like I'm half-@$$ing it, but if I'm being kind to myself I would recognize that I have a lot going on right now, and my motivation is obviously affected. I'll choose "being kind to myself" for now.
8/28: 227.8 (-0.8)/19.3 (-0.1). I mostly did okay yesterday. I had a little more than I wanted to for dinner, but not too much. I'm happy to have what feels like a little bit of progress the past couple of days.

08/26: 307.8 lbs (-0.7) … !!! I was almost certain the scale was going to show an uptick this morning. I ate a fairly large sized dinner pretty late. Repeated Couch to 5k Week 2 Day 3 this morning and it went really well. No pain and the intervals were much easier than my last run. I think I’m ready to move on. Great way to start off the week!
08/27: 309.2 lbs (+1.4) … water weight fluctuations. No other explanation, really… as yesterday was pretty ideal for me. Just under 1800 calories in, burned a good deal of them between a morning run and 10,000 steps throughout the day. It’ll pass… and this weight is still under my goal for this round.
08/28: 307.2 lbs (-2.0) … new low weight. Between that and a very positive doctor appointment this morning, I’m pretty happy. Took a really nice (and really tiring) 12 mile bike ride last night, but today will be a rest day.

Day/Weight/Comment:
08/21: 137.4 lbs - haven't worked out in a few days (self imposed hiatus to heal my shoulder/elbow) and had a salty late night snack last night, not a good choice. Tonight will be better - my late night snacking buddy will be out of town.
08/22: 136.0 lbs - hmmm, barely ate yesterday so this will probably go back up but pretty cool to see this number. I did work out just a little last night but am back to taking time off for a couple more days. Hoping my neck/shoulder/elbow is all better before my tournament this Sunday. No LNS yesterday.
08/23: 135.6 lbs - maybe a week of not working out is just what my body needed. Planning to work out tomorrow and then I’ve got a big tournament Sunday, will see how the scale responds.
08/24: 135.6 lbs - two days in a row at this number. Nice. Worked out just a couple hours in the sun, took it easy. Have a dinner out with friends tonight, will try to stay on track.
08/25: DNW, up and out too early. Had a pickleball tournament about an hour away, we came in second. Again. Almost as frustrating as trying to lose weight.
08/26: 137.2 lbs - not surprised, the last few days caught up with me and I was craving salt yesterday. Besides, this is the weight my body likes to be at, spent the last 2 months moving back and forth from this number. Just going to keep moving forward with good choices, they will pay off eventually. Maybe I need to do a fast day or something?
08/27: 137.2 lbs - my body's happy weight. Doesn't help that I just can't seem to buckle down and make the necessary changes needed to get to the next level of weight loss. Seems something always comes up. Dinner party over the weekend, fundraiser last night, vacation, etc.
08/28: DNW, forgot to weigh when I got up and certainly not going to do it now that I've eaten and dressed.

@merph518 Fantastic Progress! You look great!11 -
I'm back and hoping to get rid of the almost 10 pounds I "gained" in the last round. I know it isn't a real gain, but it's still very annoying. I was dealing with hormones and the a death in the family last round, so it just wasn't a great round for me. I have been doing this long enough to know that freaking out isn't going to do anything and I just need to get back on the horse and take care of business. I just found out we will be leaving on the last day of this round and going to Texas for my father-in-laws funeral services. So I have 10 days to get back down, so that I can take a 4 day weekend and hopefully do better than last weekend.
Round 83: 146.3 - 145.9 Avg 146.72
Round 84: 145.9 - 143.7 Avg 144.28
Round 85: 143.7 - 139.6 Avg 142.35
Round 86: 139.6 - 148.2 Avg 144.08
08/21 - 145.1 and just like that, there goes 3 pounds of sodium/stress weight overnight. Crazy what a little bit of water and eating at home does for you. Today is all set and I should be down more tomorrow. Things are finally calming down at home and after a long drive by the lake last night to clear our heads, my husband and I slept like babies. Amazing how you feel so different after a great nights sleep.
08/22 - 144.1 was within calories and probably would have been lower, but I chose to use soy sauce on my rice last night for dinner. So my sodium was way higher for the day than it should have been. As long as I can get back down to 142/141 something by the end of this round and stay there for a couple of days I will be happy.
08/23 - 142.1 And I am back here. I think this is a realistic weight for me right now. I have been at 142.xxx for 10 out of 23 days this month. I have been lower and higher, but it always comes back to here. Hopefully I can consistently see 141 before leaving next Friday, but you never know what's going to happen. Was very low cal all day yesterday and should be today as well.
08/24 - 142.1 Was on point again yesterday. Cleaning, laundry, errands, and grocery shopping is on the to do list today. So hopefully I don’t fall off the wagon this weekend.
08/25 - 143.1 up a bit and no real reason that I should be. Had a couple of beers watching the Cowboys game last night so maybe it’s because of that. Going to lunch with family and having a fantasy football draft party tonight. So I’m expected to be up tomorrow a bit, but hopefully not to bad.
08/26 - 146.9 My normal Monday blip up. Had breakfast out yesterday morning and took a rest day. I am really sore for some reason today, maybe from all the activity I did on Saturday and I had a pretty restless nights sleep last night. Was hoping to be lower, but with everything going on right now, I am just happy that I am able to maintain at this point. I ate a few 100 calories over yesterday, but this is all sodium and water retention from not eating my normal foods. I should be back down by Tuesday and hopefully finish the month at 141. If I can do that it will at least give me a 2lb loss for the month.
08/27 - 144.1 It's amazing how much restaurant food and a Bloody Mary affect me. I was totally within calories, but the sodium that they must cook with kills me every time. We always go out and eat on Sunday's with a lot of our family just to catch up and stuff and I gain at least 3-4 pounds every time. I go home and drink tons of water afterwards, but it always shows on the scale the next morning. I'm so used to it by now that it doesn't even bother me. By tomorrow I will be back down to my normal 142.xxx and maybe see that elusive 141.xx before we leave on Friday for my FIL funeral in Texas.
08/28 - 142.7 now if I could actually make some progress the next couple of days that would be great!

08/24 …..196.6 …..
08/25 …..196.4 ….. S..L..O..W.. Progress. But progress is progress right? A great day yesterday. Diet on point & exercise/extra movement outside of norm was great. Yesterday’s stats: 1124 Calories In / 2891 Calories Out. 27 Net Carbs. 17,185 Total Steps & 7.27 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 4 hours & 20 minutes which was disappointing. I took my moderately paced evening walk for 54 minutes, did 40 minutes of light cabin cleaning, 25 minutes of yard work / painting and I did 16 minutes of low-impact aerobics. Total extra calorie burn was 633. Sundays are always busy for me so I should have no problem getting my steps in. Exercise will be another story but I’ll fit in what I can. Travel tomorrow so I’m gearing up to be mindful.
08/26 …..193.0 ….. Travel Day. I’m hoping upon Hope that this lower weight today will help keep me on track & making good choices during travel. Today’s goal: NO bingeing or thinking its okay to gorge when I get home, just because I’ve splurged a little while restaurant dining for lunch! Yesterdays stats were very good & reflected on the scale: 1206 Calories In / 2756 Calories Out. 25 Net Carbs. 15,162 Total Steps & 6.42 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours (a more relaxing day concerning exercise) & I slept 6 hours & 31 Glorious minutes but was up a lot peeing out that weight drop. I walked moderate pace for 45 minutes & I did 118 minutes of rigorous tourist cabin cleaning. Total extra burn was 808. Lots of sitting today while traveling expected so getting my steps in may be difficult. If I’m up to it, I may dance later.
08/27 …..197.8 ….. After travel weigh=in. A cheat lunch that was not too bad during travel turned into an entire cheat day including dinner later & horrid snacks all night. As always, its honest: 3040 Calories In including about ½ gallon of milk / 2474 Calories Out. 320 Total Carbs. 12,108 Total Steps which were hard to achieve with so much sitting during travel. 5.12 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 57 minutes. I walked a moderate pace for 53 minutes when I returned home (before binge) and I did light housekeeping for 96 minutes. Total extra calorie burn was 686. Much of this is likely water, I mean....nearly 5 pounds overnight???? But I was a bad girl for sure so.....I’ll flush today & try to get in lots of activity & hope this dissolves quickly. Feeling disgusted today. Way overboard!
08/28 …..195.6 ….. Okay, so I’ve lost part of Monday’s travel & binge weight. But more to go. If I want to lose the 2 pounds that are goal I need to weigh 193.4 and that may not happen. However, I will be flushing & trying hard today to make some sort of difference. Yesterday’s stats: 1280 Calories In / 3047 Calories Out. 46 Net Carbs . 19,224 Total Steps & 8.13 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 6 hours & 4 minutes which was wonderful! I rigorously cleaned the tourist cabins for 162 minutes & I took a nice moderately paced walk for 70 minutes. Total extra calorie burn was 1159 which helped me reach over 3000 for the day. Happy hump day everyone!

GW 235
08/21 246 just back from vacation And not eating good brought weight up. Upset stomach and breakouts. Clearly
my system does not like it when I eat poorly ...a good sign I suppose.
08/22 244 morning weight. Walk to river w Hank. Empty fridge. Pick up groceries today start eating good
tomorrow.
08/23 244 still trying to get back down from vacation.
08/24 246 Bday party last night. Lots of pasta carbs and dessert but the good thing is I did not go back for
seconds
08/25 246 Holding. sigh. last round I got down to 242. I suppose it's silly to make excuses of eating poorly on
vacation. We all have choices, we are in America, there has to be a way to eat well- we just need to
want to. Doing very well eating today. I find that taking ilium powder really helps cut my appetite. Not
sure how but it does. I add it to my protein drink. I could add it to coffe but I dont think of it. Up and
at it today. Errands, weed eating, raking. I wish the exercise chart had a little something to account
for that.
08/26 242 BARELY 242. Day of Dr appts for my back and then lost my mind and had two McD cheeseburgers. I still stayed at my caloric intake of 1200 but my calories would have been better spent.
08/27 242 Hit caloric number, actually had to eat a bit more for the program to accept my days intake. Short walk with Mr. Hank
08/28 242 again. Morning walk with Mr. Hank. Not far but we did it. He is old, I ache. Still no exercises.

Slow&steady... I'm a bit annoyed with myself, I looked back through previous rounds and I had been down to 70.7kg a few months ago. Need to work harder!

Forgot to post yesterday. Day started well, with a run. But obviously went over at work, locked in a room for 7 hours and then went for dinner & drinks with the team. But that as nice. And back down today. DH is away for a couple of days, which means healthy choices for me and it should be a fairly active weekend.

Meh, this is probably Fri night showing up... It'll go away again. But I still have a long way to go and only 5 days to lose 0.8kg, which is 0.3kg more than at the beginning of this round. But being aware of this stopped me from LNS last night 👍
I didn't get to do my long run this weekend, temperatures have gone up and I decided to socialise instead and enjoy the weather, which may be the last of summer, including a swim in the sea, which was awesome.

Ok, 0.5 to go til goal weight. But I now see that I also wanted to reach 71.0 end of Aug. That's not realistic now, but my round goal of 71.6 is,so I'll work towards that.
I had a stressful day, slipped up a little, but reigned it back in.. almost... Apart from an ice cream, which was within cals.
No real exercise as I was too tired in the morning, this little heat wave is exhausting.

Alright, this is nice, but i might have undone the small progress today as I had a very sugar fuelled day, working from home. Went for a relaxing run in the evening, before DH came back and we shared a pizza. 200 over cals, which isn't the problem, but I ate over 1000 cals in snacks, oops

Down 8 lbs on the year, need to lose 49 to hit my 1st goal weight. -1lb a week the rest of the year will cut that number in half; feeling motivated here.
Day/Weight/Comment
08/21 268.8 I'm ready to knock off a couple of pounds this round. Really focusing on cutting carbs, increasing my weight lifting regime. Lets do this.
08/22 268.5 doing some meal planning, trying to be less impulsive with my eating.
08/23 268.8 staying pretty even so far, time to really get focused with the weekend upon us.
08/24 268.9
08/25 269.1
08/26 268.9
08/27 268.8 pretty unusual for me to have such consistent weigh ins. still shooting for a 1 lb loss this round
08/28 269.2 walking 8k steps a day is a big help as is lifting weights daily, watching carbs for the most part and sugars, maintaining this week

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Ready for my round 24
OSW 88KG
RSW 64.95kg (-23.05 kg) or {- 50.8 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
I'm going back home on Thursday after 5 weeks vacation so I'm going to start losing again. I want to lose another 9kg {20lbs} this year which will put me at the low end of my goal and give me wriggle room!
08/21 64.1 kg wooohooo! Not sure why the loss but I'm ready for it as I haven't really lost this month. I was happy to maintain while away but I'm even happier to start losing again.
08/22 63.8 kg. Normal bmi!!! Really wasn't expecting another loss. Travel day today so 7/8 hours in a car over a few rough roads. I've packed my lunch so no snacks for me!
08/23 63.8 kg which is fine. Happy to be back home even if it means going back to work soon.
08/24 63.7 kg. Very pleased with this!
08/25 62.8kg 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽and I've no idea why. Guessing my month long maintenance had ended in some kind of whoosh. This hits so many goals. Into the next lb decade, lowest adult weight not caused by ill health, 25.2kg {55.5lbs} lost this year, my biggest weekly loss since week 1 {6.4lbs}. Now to keep it off! 😁
08/26 63.5kg and I don't mind the gain as this seems more realistic. Ran this morning for the 1st time since early July.
08/27 63.7kg...I used to always do this so I'm not too worried. Plus I bought UK size 10 trousers yesterday for work! Down from an 18.
08/28 63.7kg did some strength training yesterday and a 20 min run this morning. Feeling good!
08/29 63.7kg went to the gym! 1st time in 20 years. It was tough but I'll go back next week twice a week, running 3x and yoga/stretching on sat with Sunday resting.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/21: 311.9 lbs (+0.4) … small uptick. Carby dinner last night (pizza) was probably a major factor in this. Not concerned about it at all.
08/22: 312.0 lbs (+0.1)
08/23: 311.9 lbs (-0.1) … been holding steady for a few days now.
08/24: 310.8 lbs (-1.1) … nice. Very close to my previous low.
08/25: 308.5 lbs (-2.3) … wow. Eating closer to my budget but walked around all day on Saturday, took kiddo to the zoo.
08/26: 307.8 lbs (-0.7) … !!! I was almost certain the scale was going to show an uptick this morning. I ate a fairly large sized dinner pretty late. Repeated Couch to 5k Week 2 Day 3 this morning and it went really well. No pain and the intervals were much easier than my last run. I think I’m ready to move on. Great way to start off the week!
08/27: 309.2 lbs (+1.4) … water weight fluctuations. No other explanation, really… as yesterday was pretty ideal for me. Just under 1800 calories in, burned a good deal of them between a morning run and 10,000 steps throughout the day. It’ll pass… and this weight is still under my goal for this round.
08/28: 307.2 lbs (-2.0) … new low weight. Between that and a very positive doctor appointment this morning, I’m pretty happy. Took a really nice (and really tiring) 12 mile bike ride last night, but today will be a rest day.

08/21 133.0 – 9.17 miles walked yesterday – lunch out with friend, but stayed within calories for day
08/22 132.4 - 9.77 miles walked and 60 minutes of hard yoga yesterday
08/23 132.4 - 6.7 miles walked yesterday, pleased with myself & eating so far this round, need to keep it up !
08/24 133.2 - 11.22 miles walked yesterday in the wonderful Peak District; along Lady Bower reservoir and then up to and along Derwent Edge with the magnificent natural rock sculptures. Such a satisfying day!!!
08/25 134.0 going the wrong way! 11 miles walked yesterday, we certainly lived on the edge yesterday in the Peak District! Walked Baslow Edge, Curbar Edge, Froggatt Edge and back along White Edge, fantastic views and walking!
08/26 134.0 - 7.88 miles walked.
08/27 134.8 – 11.25 miles walked yesterday. Don't really know what is happening here; have been well under all my macros for the whole of this round, only thing that I can think is that I have had an alcoholic drink (or two) each day whilst away over the long Bank Holiday weekend i.e. since Wednesday. I am back home now so no alcohol until the weekend. Lets see how that pans out.
08/28 134.0 – 9.23 miles walked yesterday.
08/29 134 – 8.9 miles walked yesterday and 60 minutes yoga (hard yoga – teacher really worked us !!)

Back from holiday - 3 weeks with our touring caravan from the UK through France, Germany, Austria and Slovenia for 2 amazing weeks in Croatia with a few days also in Venice. Lots of good food (including cheese and gelato!) and wine obviously. Not getting the "but it's nice to be home" vibe though
But back to it - aim to get holiday gain off over the next couple of rounds!!
08/21 - 140.1lb (+6.3lb) Ouch although did weigh only a few hours after getting home in the early hours!
08/22 - 137.0lb (-3.1lb) Guess this is the initial whoosh from our road trip and a long couple of days in the car - leaves me with 3.2lb of holiday gain left to work on. Not too upset with this as a gain from a 3 week holiday though - feeling positive! Aiming to keep drinking plenty and get back to eating normally.
Exam results day here for my 16 year old, college sign-up day and cheer try outs for a new team along with catching up with washing and ironing so going to be a testing day!
08/23 - 138.0lb (+1.0lb) Daughter got the results she needed so all signed up for college to study Fine Art, Sports Science and Psychology #proudmum
Ended up eating out last night and late as straight from college sign up to cheer tryouts which all seemed to go well - just the wait to hear on a team placement today hopefully.... so understand why and don't mind the 1lb gain. Long Bank holiday weekend here ahead to catch up with friends and family so just aiming to stay a bit focused as far as possible. Guess some sort of normality will return next Tuesday as I'm back to work and the following week youngest starts at secondary school and then college starts too .... Back to land of crazy

08/27 - 140.2lb (+1.6lb) Had a lovely long and hot bank holiday weekend here in the UK. Involved 2 BBQ's, a lunch and a family dinner at which the Gin &Tonic and wine was flowing nicely. Such a lovely weekend catching up with everyone and I know today's weigh in is a lot of water weight but I expected it and don't mind and actually wanted to get on the scales this morning to "reset".
Do I feel any better for the weekend excesses ? No - do I regret it, no - but so ready to get back to "normal" eating after nearly a month of holiday and socialising! Back to work today and some part of normality, healthy food with me for the day along with my water bottle!
Target for the rest of this round is to get back to some sort of "normal" eating, re-hydrate myself and then to get off the holiday gain over the next round or two.
08/28 - 139.6lb (-.60lb) Scales don't actually reflect how much better I feel already. Back to the gym last night (which was tough as been a month!!!) ate well yesterday and drank plenty too and feel less bloated already despite TOM's arrival. Also have agreed to do a full 26.2mile marathon with a work colleague at the end of September (walking not running) so have a month to get walking the streets and get some miles in ready
08/29 - 137.3lb (-2.3lb) Guess that's the whoosh to the wine and the BBQ Bloat. As usual 2-3 days to get rid of it. Now to get on with losing the holiday gain - good food day planned for today and gym session tonight so hoping for a reasonable finish to the round

great that you're going back to the gym!! If you're starting runing I can recommend the "couch to 5k" system, there are several apps out there for free! keep us posted
Thanks - I completed the C25K earlier this year and loved it. I found I had to repeat a few weeks and now I use the Nike Run Club app which I also love. The gym is just down the road and includes a personal trainer so I'll be there at 5am!! I might switch the running and the gym over and do gym 3 times a week....not sure and grateful for any advice from experienced exercisers.2
