Round 87 – August 21 – 30
Female - 66, height 5’ Things getting back to a more even keel although still doing a lot of slow eating while my mouth adjusts. Goals this round – one good snack in the evening before 9:30 and nothing else. Ab exercise each day. Try to fit in a short walk a few times a week and doing stairs 5 times a day. (I broke first my left, then my right ankles a few years ago and am back to normal except going down stairs where I tend to hang onto the railing). Log on MFP for the whole day – I tend to get about ½ way through and then conveniently “forget” for the rest of the day and think “it was pretty good anyways.”

08/21 – 163.4
08/22 – 163.6
08/23 – 163.4 Good day yesterday on getting outside work done – so a couple of hours of digging should have offset my LNS but it doesn’t seem to work that way. It’s really hard not to eat anything if I’ve been working in the evening so am going to aim for a low cal. snack before 9:00 and keep the protein levels up so I’m not too hungry.
08/24 - 163
08/25 – 163.6
08/26 – 162.8 Happy to see this number again. Got up late the last few days and had to rush off to something and then never got around to posting – subtle inner rebellion over my determination to log all??

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).

08/21 138.4, difficult boxing class yesterday but made it through. Love that there are classes I can finish now that I would have been struggling with before. Happy hour after work today so will try to bank some calories for that.
08/22 138.4, ended up eating dinner really late (9:45pm) so happy to see this number. Back to normal today with all meals prepped at home. Hoping to combat any lingering weight gain from yesterday.
08/23 138, back to my lowest weight this weight loss journey and matches a five year low. 65.7% of the way to my goal so hoping to see 2/3rds by the end of the month. Going to food truck meetup tonight so weight might be up a bit tomorrow for sodium, but will keep my calories in check.
08/24 138, ate well yesterday, but went way over today. I had a milkshake and had no idea how many calories are in them! Feel terrible both physically (body is not very used to that food anymore) and about stalling this week’s progress for a while. Tomorrow is another day and keep learning that some foods are deceptively high calories.
08/25 138.9, slight blip, but will hopefully will be going back down as we end the round
08/26 138.3, ready to tackle the week and end this round below 138

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.

08/21 201.2 (-.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

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.

08/22- 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!!!)

Joining late. Fell off the wagon and been gaining steadily to my new highest 129 lbs. getting conscious of my habits and focusing closely now.

CW: 126.6 lbs, CGW: 125 lbs

08/24 -126.6 lbs : stuck to no drinking on Fri night as well as no takeout. Ended up munching junk to curb the cravings. Proud of it though. Need to find good substitute activities for Fri. I like to have an awesome Fri after week, anyhing less is depressing.
08/25 - 126.6 lbs : logged everything I ate on Sat. Cooked special meals but kept it healthy. Declined suggestion to drink with good logic.
08/26 - 128 lbs : resisted suggestions nd urge to drink. Ate junk to compensate. Over calories >.5x. Pick up the pace during the week and be more active

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!
I was super hungry today and worked from home, which basically means zero steps. I then went for a good run in the eve to "earn" my dinner and managed to avoid LNS.

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.

I was tired when I got home last night and made a drink and ate a baked potato and salad, but of course I made my husband a a healthy chefs salad. This morning I will go on my 7 mile walk before I head to the hospital. Have a good week everyone! ☕️😊

So sorry to hear this news about your FIL - I know how difficult it is sitting by the bedside, my Dad broke his only 4 weeks ago - he is 85, but also suffers with dementia. I really hope your FIL makes a full recovery as quickly as possible, hugs to both of you xx.

I posted this on MFP, but only my friends can see it. I have trouble seeing the weight loss, but in these two pictures, it's very obvious.

Oh my goodness - it is very obvious, well done, you've done really well xx

Alright, this is it, my last round before heading to the beach! I ended with a big loss last round, so I'm setting a modest goal weight with my real expectation being that I can keep all my days under 145 before my trip. I have a few social events/celebrations in the next 10 days, but nothing that should really throw me off track.

Day / Weight / Comment
8/21 - 143.0 Slight fluctuation up from where I ended last round, but all within normal range. Yesterday was good - no snacking, ate my packed lunch, dinner came together well (another easy favorite: Gnocchi Skillet with Sweet Potatoes, Green, & Goat Cheese. I add sliced chicken sausage too, and it comes out to about 500 calories/10 oz serving). No workout but I had enough energy for some tasks around the house that I've been putting off for a while. All in all, feeling good!
8/22 - 142.2 **New Low** Ok, I know this instant gratification train will have to end at some point but I'm just enjoying ever stop along the way right now! Yesterday was on point: ate exactly what I pre-logged (breakfast shake, coffee, meal prepped chicken bowls for lunch, apple for daytime snack, and leftover chicken tacos for dinner). I shifted my gym schedule around this week, so I was able to do a different class than normal yesterday and I think I need to make it part of my regular routine! A lot of tough sets that included kettlebells, resistance bands, medicine balls, body weight exercises that leaned slightly toward a leg day, but really worked out the whole body. Even though I've been slacking on my pushup practice, when it came time to do a pushup as part of a set, I jumped right down and knocked out 3 in a row on my toes! Started packing for the beach last night by trying on some bathing suits - welcome back to the rotation, pre-baby bikinis! I feel like one or two even look BETTER than they did before I got pregnant. Tonight I have a dinner/banquet type meeting at a restaurant with some pretty rich food. I'm eating a light lunch in preparation, and just plan to be very mindful of what I put on my plate and when I get full.
8/23 - 142.0 **New Low** A little unexpected, but I'll take it! Yesterday was pretty good, even though I did have two glasses of wine and some dessert at my dinner. But I tracked it as best I could, and didn't snack once I got home. Hope everyone is having a very happy Friday!
8/24 - 141.4 **New Low** So this is what it looks like when I stay the course and do everything I’m supposed to for an extended period of time! Yesterday’s eating was right where it needed to be, along with water. Already did my Saturday morning workout (full body weights with cardio), prepping for our beach trip next week, and have a family dinner out tonight. I’ll try to make some smart choices!

8/25 - 141.8
8/26 - 142.8 A little up today after the weekend! Saturday night's dinner was one of the best restaurant meals I've had in a while, so absolutely zero regrets about indulging there! But Sunday ended up being a lot of small snacks/grazing (another kid's bday party), which led to more snacking than I should have. But I prepped lunches for the week (a delicious and filling tomato soup made with coconut milk and chickpeas) and am going to the gym tonight. Ready to crush the final days of this round!

Day - Weight - Comment
08/21 - 129.9 (+0.6lbs) - TOM coming, surprised it hasn’t started already. Anyway it’s water retention.
🥘 Food was under cals but macros were off, too much fat and carbs. Still working on it, not an easy feat.
🏋🏻‍♀️ Day off strength.
🏃🏻‍♀️ 35min cardio.
🧘🏻‍♀️ Day off yoga.
🏊‍♀️ 50min swimming.
👣 11,048 steps.
💧 126oz water.
🧖🏻‍♀️ Day off sauna.
🌐 Day off foam rolling.
**traveling** 08/22 - 130.4lbs (+0.5lbs) - Super early weigh in so not really accurate but wanted to get it in anyway.
🥘 Food was slightly over and macros were way off. Not feeling well.
🏋🏻‍♀️ 30min strength.
🏃🏻‍♀️ 40min cardio.
🧘🏻‍♀️ Day off yoga.
🏊‍♀️ Day off swimming.
👣 14,815 steps.
💧 79oz water.
🧖🏻‍♀️ Day off sauna.
🌐 Day off foam rolling.
**traveling** 08/23 - Did not weigh in - Unable to weigh in as I’m traveling. Will be back at it tomorrow.
🥘 I tired but airport food and eating out completely makes it hard.
👣 9,534 steps.
💧 85oz water.
08/24 - 129.4 (-1lb) - traveling outcome.
🥘 I tried to eat as healthy as possible while traveling but it was impossible when in some airports. I’m happy it’s not much higher than it is, although it could still hit me in a few days, we’ll see.
👣 10,955 steps.
💧 97oz water.
08/25 - 130.1 (+0.7lbs) - TOM finally hit and some DOMS so it’s water retention. SO happy to be home and back in my routine, I missed it!! Not to mention I hate flying and business trips in general but not being able to eat healthy and workout was very hard for me.
🥘 Food was ok, not super healthy because I was eating out. Need to shop now that I’m back from my trip. Was still under cals.
🏋🏻‍♀️ 1hr 5min strength.
🏃🏻‍♀️ 20min cardio.
👣 12,331 steps.
💧 126oz water.
08/26 - 128.7 (-1.4lbs) - not sure why I dropped. Definitely have DOMs and water retention from TOM. I’ll take it though!
🥘 Food was good until the evening. I went out for dinner and went crazy with appetizers, main dish, and dessert 🤦🏻‍♀️... I knew that meant more exercise so I came home and did another round of cardio so that I wouldn’t be over cals. Which is why I’m at 2.5hrs of exercise today. Don’t feel guilty for that deep fried banana now. But tomorrow is grocery shopping and back on nutritious food... my body is craving it!
🏋🏻‍♀️ 1hr 15min strength.
🏃🏻‍♀️ 1hr 15min cardio.
👣 16,290 steps.
💧 126oz water.

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!
