Day/Weight/Comment


09/10 133.2 – 7 miles walked yesterday; rain curtailed for most of the day . Later we fly out to Crete so I don't think I will be able to weigh whilst away, but I'll check in everyday if I can.
09/11 DNW - 5 miles walked yesterday mostly round the airport! macros very slightly over, difficult to control when not self preparing meals ! Oh and scales in my room, but don't work, need new batteries, I've put request in to maintenance!!
09/12 DNW - no scale batteries yet. Walked 8.39 miles yesterday, some along the beach, estimated 150 calories over goal.
09/13 134.0 - 11.77 miles walked yesterday - what's truly bizarre is the fact that the vain person that I am whilst on holiday I'm wearing my Fitbit on my belt loop so I don't get a white mark on wrist, it's recording the walks as outdoor biking, but still counting the steps?????? Sodium over, but all other macros in green.
09/14 135.4 - maybe it's not such a good idea having scales on my holiday!! And I thought I was making really good food choices and logging them . 9.4 miles walked yesterday, estimate of calories 195 over.
09/15 136 - 13 miles walked yesterday. Had moussaka for lunch at Chania old venitiian harbour after walking there. Going to aim for a simple Greek salad today without olive oil; need to stop this incline !!
09/16 136.4 - 10 miles walked yesterday, 180 calories over. Our wedding anniversary today.
09/17 136.6 - 14.5 miles walked yesterday, wonderful day spent with my DH, lunch & dinner out both accompanied with glass of bubbly. Thanks for all the good wishes & congrats.

This will be my first round! My goal is to lose 1 kg by the end of it

09/10 80.9 kg My biggest challenge today will be to avoid snacking when playing games with my friends tonight.
09/11 81.1 kg (+0.2kg) I didn’t not avoid snacking yesterday with my friends! -.-
09/12 81 kg (+0.1kg) Did a lot of exercise yesterday and ate around 1600 calories.
09/13 81 kg (+0.1kg) I am been doing blogilates 100ab and glute challenge these last days. My body is sore! Think I am going to try to eat more low carb-meals from now. In my experience it is usually easier for me to stay to my calorie goal if I don’t eat to many carbs.
09/14 ??kg I did not have access to a scale yesterday.
09/15 81.6kg (+0.8kg) I walked over 10 km on both friday and saturday. So I am happy with that. I was eating out a lot and it is impossible to count calories then. Did chose the healthy options, but I am still bloated today from the wine I drank yesterday.
09/16 80.8kg (-0.1kg) Low carb meals is already making a big difference. I do not feel hungry at all staying with my calorie goal of 1600 calories a day. And it looks like it is helping with my bloat as well
09/17 80.8kg (-0.1kg) There is a lot of stress right now. Quite happy with myself for not turning to food and snacks to deal with it though

Day / Weight/Comment
10/09 158.8 (0.0) 13.051 steps. Status quo yet again. Seems I’m stuck at this weight but it will eventually go down I’m sure. These are the times I find the hardest and when this group helps the most as I see from you all that I’m not the only one with really sloooowwww weight loss
11/09 158.0 (-0.8) 15.545 steps, yes a little loss there! I had a very good run yesterday as I went with a friend so it went much quicker! Calories I went over by 200 but – all healthy choices - still had a deficit of 667 cal. Today I might do an exercise dvd to keep up the exercise routine, especially as it’s raining quite hard.
12/09 158 (0.0) 9.755 steps … it’s was 10pm and I was in bed when I realized I was 250 steps short of my goal but honestly I couldn’t care less I was shattered! Food wise, it was a good day. I’m more tired lately as I’m getting up early to meditate before starting my day. Tonight, is W5R2 in my C25K training so I’m drinking my water and getting most of my calorie intake at least 2hrs before my run
13/09 157.0 (-1.0) 13.293 Steps, W5R2 done, yes!!! Very good day yesterday, walked quite a bit, eat healthy and finished off by a good run! I’m not sure how long I can keep this up … probably till tomorrow as it’s the start of the weekend… lol Today I’ve planned a walk and an exercise dvd. I also need to drink a bit more water.
14/09 157.7 (+0.7) 6.842 Steps,
15/09 157.0 (-0.7) 11.667 steps, W5R3 Done. Good run but got totally lost in the forest and had to use google maps to find my way back, I’m looking into different ways to avoid that in the future.
16/09 157.0 (0.0) 1.819, quiet recovery day yesterday. I ate reasonably, although I went a little over but healthy choice. I’ve got quite a busy week ahead; I hope this doesn’t throw things off! I’m really pleased that this time I haven’t put weight on over the weekend and I’m already lower than my goal. I’m still looking into apps so that I don’t get lost trail running in the forest like on Saturday. I was really good fun but I, as a typical city girl, I was totally freaked out when I realized I was nearly 40 mins away from my car in the middle of nowhere (that was a long run lol)

17/09 157.8 (+0.8) 18.000 steps, small run. No idea why that went up, I was really active yesterday, I think maybe I didn’t drink enough. I'm going to try running on a treadmill today during my lunch hour. I'm not looking forward to going to the gym and running in front of everyone but I don't see how I'm going to get my workouts done if I don't start doing it during lunch time now that school has started again I'm trying to get my daughter into running, she's 11 and having problems at school where there's a lot of bullying, she's seeing a counselor but I think that sports would help work through all the aggravation.

This is my 2nd round. Finished the last round poorly purely due to TOM, cake and wine.
Determined this time. Id love to get as close as possible to 140 this round.

10th Sept: 142.75. Happy with this drop from yesterdays high. Ate within calories, almost hit macros, and walked the dog when son was training so hit 13k steps.
11th Sept: 140.25. THRILLED with this drop, considering the weekend I've had last weekend. Hit 16k steps last night and did a piloxing class. I cannot wait to see the 130's on the scales. I know it'll fluctuate up and down but I cant help even imagining seeing 13x on the scales this round. Rest day today. Son has match again tonight, I'll still him my10k steps.
12th Sept: 139.75. Absolutely buzzing off my head. Haven't been here in 6 years. No exercise yesterday as son had match. Got 9k steps. Ate within calories. Planning on a run in the woods with the dogs tonight. Have chicken and spuds in the slow cooker for dinner tonight.
13th Sept: 140.75. No reason for the increase, just one of those things. Stayed within calories. Didn't go running. Was absolutely shattered, went to bed at 8:15pm and slept till 6:20am. Feel great this morning. Have piloxing tonight. Note to self: Don't do chicken in a slow cooker - fell to absolute pieces and I couldn't decipher meat from bones from skin!!
14th Sept: 139.25 yes!!
15th Sept: 140.5.
16th Sept: 143.5 Was expecting this. Was at a BBQ yesterday and had burgers, beer and cake! Was VERY uncomfortable for the night, I felt so full. Only got 5k steps in too. Back on the wagon today. Have walk planned with the dogs tonight. Drinking all the water today...hoping to get back down to normalish weight by Wednesday.
17th Sept: 142.5. Pulling it back slowly from the carnage that was the weekend. Good day yesterday. Ran the woods with the dogs in the rain. Very refreshing. On track for a good day today too. Have piloxing class tonight.

@matratazola Oh my! Being lost in a forest would have freaked me out, for sure! I know lots of people who use Map My Run/Walk/Ride - by Under Armor. They seem to have apps for many activities. It also pinpoints your GPS location.

Thanks! I've also looked up MapMyRun, but going with Strava as it sends security beacon to up to 3 contacts of your choice when you start running, after that scare I'm not taking any chances lol

OH, I only found this thread today! And it ends in a few days, so I'll keep my eyes out for it, I'd like to play next time, I need some accountability! But, may I ask what "rounds" are? Is that how many times you've played? So each round would = 10 days? Just want to make sure I know what I'm doing when I join in with y'all.

still a few days left! you can get into the groove with us now if you want

9/16 - DNW - numbers are reflecting my shortcomings. Staying straight today. I’m disappointed in myself. I need to be stronger than my cravings.

You're doing great, we all have some ups and downs!

Time for a post holiday / kids back to school re-set.
My aim is to be back to my pre holiday weight of 133 less a pound or two by the end of September (end of round 90).
Target for this round is to get back to normal eating, logging everything, planning and prepping properly and getting my water intake back up - like many people, it all slipped a bit post holiday and with the kids being off. Target for this round is to see 136lb. This is my round to get re-focused

Start Weight 140.3lb

09/10 - 138.1lb (-2.2lb) Yay - that's some of the weekend roast gone - same every week and "excess" usually gone by mid week so hopefully I'll see another drop tomorrow morning. Good day planned today and like feeling a bit more back in control

09/11 - 137.3lb (-0.8lb) That'll do thank you! So pretty much back to where I was after my holidays so 3.5lb up overall as got to 133.8lb before my holiday. So onwards and downwards towards that number again - aiming to get back to 133lb by around the end of September (end of R90 / R91)

09/12 - 137.6lb (+0.3lb) Fine with this small upward blip as at least it means this weight is probably a true weight and my weight loss often goes down for a few days then a blip upwards. Food was all good yesterday although I did spend an hour just sitting in front of the TV yesterday when I got in from work doing absolutely nothing except drinking coffee which I never normally do as felt really tired But first full week of the girls in their new schools and college plus hubby been away all week too so need to give myself a bit of a break!
Food planned along with a gym session tonight so should be a good day ahead

09/13 - 136.8lb (-0.8lb)
09/14 - DNW
09/15 - DNW
09/16 - DNW - Totally crazy weekend. Grandkids over after school Friday to stay over so had a movie and popcorn night with them plus our two. They went home lunchtime Saturday then headed straight out to the girls cheerleading team Picnic for the afternoon (tried to make the best of the terribly unhealthy - so very tempting and rather nice - food that was available). Yesterday during the day was fine with our usual full on roast last night then me and hubby went out for the evening and had a drink and shared a bag of sweets at the show so bed later than normal for a Sunday and so laid in for an extra 10 minutes this morning and didn't remember to weigh in until I'd already had my morning cup of tea But good food day planned and back to proper tracking today and still aiming to finish in the 136's for the round. Have a great week everyone

09/17 - 139.6lb (+2.8lb) as a result of my not so great weekend food-wise, topped with TOM imminent plus I have been eating more carbs the last few days as doing a (walking) marathon on Saturday night so trying to eat a few more carbs than usual this week ready for a pastabake dinner Saturday before the walk! So am feeling a bit bloated although not sure how much of it is down to the weekend / TOM or the carbs? Either way, I'm back to tracking properly for the rest of the week

Goal: Improve Sleep - duration of 7hrs and score above 80.

9/10 193.5 lbs 6h51m/83/10:45pm - great workout, but work didn't go well. Late to eat dinner, but good sleep. Kind of a mixed bag....
9/11 194.6 lbs 6h32m/77/10:36pm - super sore in my quads & hammies, this may be water retention in the muscles. I didn't use my foam roller, which I should have. Bad night sleeping because of another bad day at work. Combat tonight... should help.
9/12 194.4 lbs 6h50m/83/10:22pm - bad day, good sleep. Training this am BEFORE work. Generally feeling frustrated but hoping to turn it around today.
9/13 193.5 lbs 6h27m/83/10:42pm. MUCH better... good day at work, great workout, good sleep. Was so sore, so I stretched everything, right there in the office... lol. Helped a ton, feel pretty good right now!
9/14 192.4 lbs!!!! 6h15m/71/12:00am - Is it possible I can make goal this round? 💪😎
9/15 192.1 lbs 8h22m/92/9:13pm - 3+ hours spent talking with strangers, to me, is more exhausting than a heavy workout. I don't think I've ever gotten a sleep score in the 90s, since I started tracking.
9/16 192.4 lbs 6h53m/81/9:32pm - so tired, but woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep for way too long. Had a great day with excellent energy... hoping there is still some in the tank for my workout this morning.
9/17 192.5 lbs 😪 6h45m/76/10:02pm - water? My eating has been on track and have had good workouts. Super tired (now that I've had a few good nights in the 80's, I really feel the lack of sleep quality in a 76 night). Won't make goal like this, that's for sure.

Result:

09/10-206.4 WHOOSH! I have been waiting. I am almost afraid to believe it. Hopefully it sticks. I have been very consistent but my body has been holding on. Hopefully this is the start of some consistent downward movement on the scale.
09/11 210… huh?
09/12 208.4… a little better! I am working very hard right now. My store is busy, I am doing a lot of lifting. My body is very sore, but I will just keep doing what I should & hope for some good results
09/13 DNW
09/14 209.4. The scale is jumping around. I accept it. I think I am on the verge of “the change” (sounds like a horror film & I am equally horrified). TOM has arrived 7 days after finishing. I had hoped to have lost my weight before all this hormone transition bologna really began…
09/15 DNW
09/16 207.8. Still plagued with woman issues & fatigue. I need to find a supplement that will fix this!
09/17 207.2. Still moving in the right direction. I am on point with diet & exercise. Probably not going to meet my goal for this round, but who know what or when this body will decide

Day/Weight/Comment

09/10 - 141
09/11 – 140.5 – I had a fasting medical test on my gallbladder yesterday morning. Part of the test is injecting me with a chemical that mimics eating a meal. The tech asked me my weight and before I could tell him, he looked me straight in the eyes and said “It’s very important you give me the correct weight since this dose has to be calibrated with a meal.” I almost laughed out loud. I wanted to say that I’ve been telling dozens of people what I really weigh every day for the past year and a half, but I simply told him I weighed 141 that morning. This exchange once again reminded me of how important this group has been to me in being able to stay accountable and lose and maintain my weight loss over the past 18 months.
09/12 – 141 – Fine with this.
09/13 – 139.5 – Considering I was up 4 or 5 times in the middle of the night going to the bathroom, I’m chalking up this loss to water weight. It’s a nice place to start for the weekend.
09/14 - 142
09/15 – Forgot to weigh.
09/16 – 141.5 – I probably ate a little over maintenance this weekend, but back on track today.
09/17 – 141 – I’m glad the weekend bounce appears to be over.

09/17 - 159.8 - Not sure how accurate because my scale wouldn't settle on one number. Also forgot to weigh so I was in socks and a shirt when normally I weigh in just underwear. Today is starting off with a bad mentality I'm hoping to kick. I brought in food (not ideal but better than vending machine food) for a snack and lunch. Last chance to work out this week since injections tomorrow (minimum 48 hours rest, first 24 "bed rest") and travel Friday. Hoping the better food and a little lunchtime workout will help with my mental state.

Previous Day's Comments

09/10 - Way backwards movement. But I did cave to anxiety eating a Sonic Blast last night which never bodes well for the tummy (lactose sensitive). I'm still feeling the bloat today. Plus I have a bit of DOMS from my first workout in awhile yesterday. Need to get right today. Coworker and I both want to lose 20lbs and we are almost identical in BF%, weight, and clothing size. Hopefully the anxiety I'm already feeling goes away quickly today.
09/11
09/12- Well, apparently my check in yesterday didn't post? I couldn't find it. Yesterday was a really hard day emotionally. It was my first 9/11 not serving in uniform and oh boy did it make me miss the army so much. I ended up having several breakdowns throughout the day. Kept myself out of the office with meetings or volunteering to help out the rescue team and do some fire brigade demo'ing instead. I tried to do 110 flights for the firefighters who lost their lives that day. Only made it 30 flights with everything else going on. And I also gave blood and didn't want to overdo it. I'm SO sore today in my quads (lets me know my quad/glute is unbalanced and I'm not engaging my glutes enough) so I need to do 2 more iterations (to the top of the plant is about 20 flights) today and 2 tomorrow to complete my 110 flights. I'm not in the shape I was before and my spinal fusion will not allow me to do too much at once anyway. I'm still determined to complete it.

Food wasn't great yesterday. Ended up getting pizza for dinner with my neighbors. But I have my throw-together leftovers (kielbasa, mixed veggies, and thin-sliced potato) today for lunch and I believe I'm going to lunch with a vendor today. Must make good choices! Think I'll have half my small thing of throw-together before lunch to break my fast and maybe the other half as a small snack after lunch if I behave and portion properly and get hungry. Hoping, since its mostly vegetables, it will help fill me up before lunch enough I can't possibly overeat. I know this drop is water weight and from giving blood so I want to try to maintain it as I recover and get down to my lower weight from previous rounds. More water today, too, as I've slacked on that HARD.
09/13 - Went to BF's daughter's cross country meet last night and ended up staying at BF's house so no scale. Food wasn't very good yesterday but I was more mindful about it than I have been lately which is a huge step back in the right direction for me. Ended up sprinting in jeans and steel-toe boots to make it to the start line in time for her race to begin so even got a little workout. My quads are still on fiiiiiire and I haven't even gotten to finish my 110 flights. I don't know if my body can handle that, honestly. I'll keep trying, though.
09/14 - Weekend at BF's. Have steroid injections in my back Wednesday morning (so bedrest the remainder of the day) and then leaving for Texas early Friday morning until Monday night!

I've noticed a few women "of a certain age" mentioning the issues that come with menopause. In December 2017, I was going through a lot of the same symptoms, coupled with some very stressful medical issues with my husband and at work at my CPA firm. I told my SIL at Christmas that I wasn't sure how I could face tax season since I couldn't seem to get motivated to do anything. She'd been through early menopause because of breast cancer treatment and been seeing a nutritional Dr. for years. She recommended B complex and ginseng tea. It took me a while to buy them, but I started eating a chewable B complex and drinking the tea in mid-January 2018. I had always taken a multi-vitamin but after adding the B complex, within a few days I started to notice the difference in my mood and motivation. Now what just occurred to me is that you can also see that within 2 months I started back on My Fitness Pal and successfully stayed with my diet as of today. I don't know if I can completely credit the B Complex with my weight loss and mood elevation, but I do refer to it as my "legal speed" and I always make sure to have it on hand.

‪09/12/129.7‬/Met my calorie goal yesterday. Zumba plus walked 1.5 miles.
09/13/129.6/Met my calorie goal. Walked 3 miles.
09/14/129.2/Amazed I didn’t gain from salt and calories. It will probably catch up with me tomorrow. Over by an estimated 800 calories (dinner at a Mexican restaurant). 😕On a positive note, I took a yoga class. Will do some more serious calorie burning today.
09/15/127.9/If every day could be like yesterday, I’d be so healthy and fit! I had lots of free time, so I ran one mile, took a Zumba class, walked the dog and spent a few hours working in the yard. Also met my calorie goal.
09/16/127.3/Not as active as Saturday, but did some yard work and walked the dog one mile. Ate French fries for the first time all year, and they did not sit well. 😕 It seems my system can’t handle fried foods anymore since I avoid them so much. Met my calorie goal.
09/17/128.5/I’ve been expecting a bounce, since my weight’s been dropping too quickly over the last several days. Met my calorie goal and did a brutal 70-minute power yoga class. Still on track to meet my goal for this round.
