Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 116.8 Nice - drop at the start! Of course, seems that happens a lot and then it bounces back up and I struggle to get back to the start lol! Canβt complain as getting closer to initial goal weight! Strength/weights with trainer and cardio today (step class had a new instructor!), and pasta for dinner tonight - smoked eggplant/peppers with cavatappi and smoked mozzarella. Need to go test wines for a work function after dinner so banked calories so that the wine is ok a al IIFIYM.
10/11 118 Not surprised! Weight training + cardio + pasta + wine (tasting + 1.5 glasses and additional food as I was hungry) likely all led to some water retention and my weight loss is not linear at all. I have decided that I really need to increase my calories above 1400 to closer to 1600 so that I am losing at a slower rate (1.34lb current to .5lb) for the last 12 pounds here. I have been shooting for under 1200-1300 as I usually eat lunch out or may not have verified calorie data, but based on realized losses looks like tracking is pretty accurate so can get closer to target. Other reasons: 1) With lifting this last week, I have been hungrier, so listening to my body cues. 2) Not sure if losing slower ultimately preserves more muscle mass (given that my bf is around 28-29%), but more protein with the increased calories may help build more muscle mass and maybe BMR will not drop as much (getting BMR retested in November) plus more carbs can help fuel cardio (still in a deficit though) 3) help with skin adopting to fat loss - most of the fat left is on my lower belly and hips. After a twin pregnancy have lots of stretched out lower belly skin so maybe with a slower loss rate won;t have a baggy tummy (given age may not be avoidable) Building muscle could help fill out some of the space lost to fat. Will monitor and tweak as needed [went over 1600 last night, so hoping that is primarily water or muscle lol]
NSV: Can now wear a pair of small pants that I bought on sale when I was losing weight after the twins were born, but never got weight all the way down to fit! And they are almost too big!
10/12 117.8 Going back down even with the increase in calories!!! Rest day today! Body needs it after workouts this week and have to spend a good part of today driving to the coast and back to move the boat from the boatyard to the marina. Unfortunately won;t have time to stay and sail, so activity level will be low (sorry Apple Watch Challenge team #coreslight, but will be back at full speed tomorrow!) Hopefully some walking and core work later on just to close all my rings!
10/13 118.4 Effects of being in the car for lots of yesterday? New calorie regime? In any case not out of the norm⦠Did Xtrain this morning and increased power to rate ratio from previous work, so nice to see that as weight is going down. (Watts are increasing as well, which is even better) Strength workout late afternoon - new PR on deadlift of 105 lbs and was able to do 5 reps at 70 lbs on bench-press.
10/14 116.4 Whoosh! New low!!! Now to see if that will hang around until the end of the round :-) Liking the new calorie levels, but need to make sure that I eat more in the morning and have pre-planned snacks for work ! Spin class tonight for cardio.
10/15 116.4 Held it! Morning was strength training with trainer, and followed up with 30 minutes of HIIT on spin bike with one minute intervals of all out at peak heart rate, followed by up to a minute recovery until HR dropped to 65% of max. Went back for evening Interval hour class so more cardio and interval exercises with medicine ball - great workout. Did much better with spacing out snacks and meals today, with increase of protein throughout the day to help strength training. Starting zig-zag on calories so total was up today for strength training.
10/16 115.8 OK probably water loss as lots of cardio yesterday, but calories were up for the day. Will see if that holds - donβt expect it to as trend line prediction is 116.4 based on Happy Scale, so may see some more bouncing for a couple of days. In any case, thrilled to see a new low and with progress should be able to hold in the 115βs in a week or so. Will have spin class this evening after work, so prepared snacks to be fueled for class!
10/17 115.4 OK surprised, but hey maybe this is a benefit of increasing calories/ protein throughout the day ?!? %BF is down to 27.8 and skeletal muscle increased to 42.1 %. Refueled after spin class with pasta and a sauce with ground duck sausage and smoked mozzarella. Hit food calories on the nose yesterday, but still had a 599 calorie deficit for the day from tracking with the watch, so may need to increase food a bit more (will monitor). Today was step class, strength training with trainer, and then I did HIIT intervals on the spin bike for 30 minutes, so higher food calories today as it is a strength day. Hoping to hang out in the 115βs if possible for the rest of the round!

I only include the last 5 rounds, but have been doing these challenges since round 58. Still trying to get into the 130's. It is proving to be a lot tougher than I ever imagined, but I am going to continue trying. Maybe we will do it this next 10 days!
Goal: No weight higher than 144.9 and see 140/141 at least 50% of the time on the scale.
Round 87: 148.2 - 143.6 down 4.6 Avg 143.73
Round 88: 143.6 - 147.0 up 3.4 Avg 145.84
Round 89: 147.0 - 143.7 down3.3 Avg 144.99
Round 90: 143.7 - 140.9 down 2.8 Avg 142.68
Round 91: 140.9 - 143.6 up 2.7 Avg 143.62
10/10 - 142.9 I am slightly annoyed this am. I have been really good, even through my 3 day weekend. I should be lower than this. I guess I will just keep going and hopefully I see a whoosh sometime in the near future. It seems like I can not get past 142/143 for the life of me. My maintenance is within 5 pounds of where I am today, but at the rate I am going I may not be there till next year, lol. Maybe tomorrow I will see a nice drop, I am on track for today and not going to self sabotage. This is just the way it goes sometimes.
10/11 - 141.4 Nice little drop. My lowest last week was 141.5 for 2 days and 140.9 for 3 days the week before that, so maybe I can hold onto it this time. Really going to try and work hard this weekend. My daughter is having her wisdom teeth out this morning and then I have to work this afternoon, so it's just going to be one of those days. No fast food! No fast food! That will be my goal today.
10/12 - 142.3 Iβm ok with this. Had a couple of drinks last night with dinner, but food was on point. So this should go back down as long as I stay on track today. The weekends are my downfall. I only ate 310 calories all day yesterday until dinner because I knew I was going to have a couple of drinks with our meal. So I should have still been within my limits.
10/13 - 143.6 This is the rest of last night I guess. Will try and stay on track this weekend. Making myself be really good the rest of the month to lose these last couple of pounds.
10/14 - 142.8 Not bad for a Monday weigh-in. My best one so far. Halfway through this round and so far I am feeling really good about my progress. I have pretty much stayed the same and not had any crazy fluctuations. We will see what happens the next couple of days. I really am expecting a good loss soon.
10/15 - 142.3 Was under calories again. Having some TMI issues this morning, so maybe that's why I am stalling. I have been working really hard to see a nice drop the last couple of weeks, but have just been stuck within the same couple of pounds. I miss the days where I would get a 1 or 2 pound drop in a 10 day challenge. Now it seems like it is a couple of ounces here and there. Granted that was 40 pounds ago, but a nice big whoosh would be amazing. Oh well, I guess I should be happy that I am so close to my goal weight and just keep working at it. Maybe tomorrow I will see a new low.
10/16 - 140.9 Finally! Back down to my lowest weight and what I ended last month on. Have had to fight to get back down to it. Was under calories again yesterday, but did have 2 light beers with dinner. Really wanting to break through and see a new low. On track for today and hoping to be good tonight. 3 more days to go, fingers and toes crossed!
10/17 - 140.9 I am shocked it did not go back up. Happy with it today, but ready to see a new low. Was under calories again yesterday, but had a couple of light beers with dinner again. I think this is what is stalling my progress. Even though I am working them into my calories, it's just empty calories and maybe dehydrating me a bit or something. No alcohol till Sunday for the Cowboys game at all! Maybe I will see a drop by Saturday if I do that.

Round 92, round 2 for me
Round 91: -4.2lb loss
10/09: 90.8 lbs
Hoping to lose a tiny bit more but may switch mid challenge to maintenance or gain depending on results.
Day/weight/comment:
10/10: 91.4 lbs
10/11: 91.6 lbs
10/12: 91.6 lbs
10/13: 91.2 lbs (+0.4 from start) At least it's going down again though.
10/14: 91.2 lbs staying steady.
10/15:Β 90.2 lbs (-0.6 lbs from start of challenge) I have no idea why it dropped. I ate so much at my Thanksgiving party yesterday but I'll take it! & go back to my normal workout routine & eating plan again now. Then it got updated to 89.8 later yesterday (so -1lb loss so far for this round)
10/16: 89.2 lbs
(-1.6 lbs from start of this round)
so second day I'm weighing-in below 90. Might wanna begin thinking of starting a maintenance diet soon while I build muscle over time. I might still lose a couple lbs and see about maintenance & muscle gain during round 93. Today I'm killing time at the mall before my Drs appointment. Lots of walking about there and then will hit the gym in the late afternoon. Feeling like today will be a good day (:
...so long as I avoid temptation in the food court π
10/17: 88.6 lbs
(-2.2 lbs from start of rnd 92)
I think I will switch to maintenance now seeing as I'm already a bit underweight and don't want to be unhealthy. I don't look unhealty though, just like a naturally small person...who would now like to build more muscle! Working on it. Started and ended my 80 minute workout with bits of cardio on the treadmill & stationary bike. Then did strength training in between, working on my arms & core. Feel good about my day (: Food choice wise, and with exercise. Might do some more light walking tonight as it's a nice day here. I love Autumn!πππ

I ate weird yesterday β didnβt feel great, so I nibbled during the day and evening. All better this morning. Planning to paint hallway trim today, plant bulbs, and get my change-of-season clothes organized. The fun never stops!
And Iβm planning a nice walk this evening. Itβs a gorgeous day here β I hope where you are, too!
10/11 - 165.4
I seem to be on a lazy streak -- must be the beautiful warm fall days! It's supposed to rain today and be cooler the rest of the week, so I guess I can get back to work.
Next week I plan to return to the gym -- I spent the summer exercising outdoors, which it SO much better. Enjoy the weekend, all!

I am not on a diet, but a lifelong pilgrimage to maintain physical & emotional health. Reaching and maintaining a lower healthy weight is just one of several goals.

Perhaps because it wasnβt high sodium it did not affect weight or water retention as badly as a restaurant savory meal. Whew! That was a close one! Yesterdayβs stats: 1100 Calories In / 2905 Calories Out. 30 Net Carbs including spaghetti squash. 19,507 Total Steps & 8.27 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 23 minutes. I walked 106 minutes at 3.5 mph inside the school on a route designed for walkers (due to rain). I rigorously cleaned a tourist cabin for about 22 minutes. Total extra calorie burn 710.
Hi Donna, I LOVE the Atkins Coconut Indulgence bars!!! OMG, I have to reel myself in with them.

10/16 ~ 216.7!! - bloated for no good reason. Because of lack of sleep? Tired and cranky but (15 mins s/r and 20 min walk)

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 -207.2 When I woke up this morning the heaviness in my gut from eating something that I was sensitive to was mainly gone. So I'm not surprised that there was a drop on the scale this morning. My gut is not 100%, but it definitely feels much better. I'm proud of myself that over the last few days when I wasn't feeling great, I still stuck with my diet and exercise even though I didn't want to. Workout with strength coach was tough yesterday. It's supposed to be a great sunny fall day today, so plan is to go for a run after work.
10/11 -207.6 Went to the gym this morning and got my run in yesterday. I had a great salad for lunch today.
10/12 -207.6
10/13 -207.6 Yesterday I took the dog out for a quick trail hike before going to meet the in-laws for lunch. We went out for pizza and I had 1/2 of the pizza for lunch and took the rest home for dinner. We then went out for dessert and I had a great piece of gf olive oil cake. Going to see strength coach today and may see a movie later...no popcorn!
10/14 -207.6 Wow, same weight for 4 days in a row. Went out for a great 5.5 mile trail walk with hubby and the dog today. It was a gorgeous crisp, sunny fall day with the leaves changing colour. My husband is baking apple tartlets today.
10/15 -207.6 Day 5 at this weight. A part of me is fascinated to see how long the scale can stay at this weight and the other part is frustrated. I may go out and do my C25K tonight depending on if the weather holds up, rain is supposed to start tonight and last for the next couple of days. I'm going for my body fat scan today, it's been four months since the last one, so it should be interesting to see the results especially since the scale appears to be stuck.
10/16 -207.0 There's the change. Strength coach tonight.
10/17 -207.8 I had a great workout yesterday with my coach. There is an exercise that I hate to do and last week when I had to do it I wasn't a very happy person and I was a little difficult. Yesterday, I knew I would be doing the same hated exercise, but instead of telling myself how much I hated it and complainng about it to my coach, I changed my attitude and told myself to just get it done. In the end, doing the exercise wasn't as horrible and actually seemed easier than last week.

Perhaps because it wasnβt high sodium it did not affect weight or water retention as badly as a restaurant savory meal. Whew! That was a close one! Yesterdayβs stats: 1100 Calories In / 2905 Calories Out. 30 Net Carbs including spaghetti squash. 19,507 Total Steps & 8.27 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 23 minutes. I walked 106 minutes at 3.5 mph inside the school on a route designed for walkers (due to rain). I rigorously cleaned a tourist cabin for about 22 minutes. Total extra calorie burn 710.
Hi Donna, I LOVE the Atkins Coconut Indulgence bars!!! OMG, I have to reel myself in with them.

2) Walk or exercise 30+ minutes
3) Stay on top of assignment grading!!!
Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 -181.4 β Halfway to the top of my goal range! Thatβs just the motivation I need this round as work demands ramp up and it gets harder to fit in the things I need to do to stay on track. Student conferences ate up most of my time today, but I fixed a few quick meals to stay within my calorie limits.
10/11 β 180.8 β Nice to see a drop going into the weekend. Heading off for a quiet weekend of hiking and wineries with my husband. Leaving my computer at home and bringing a novel from my long TBR list.
10/12 β DNW β Watkins Glen, NY. Walked down the North Ridge (Indian Trail) and up the 832 steps of the Gorge Trail in light rain, carrying a daypack, without much difficulty. Three years ago, I was getting winded just walking up to my third-floor classrooms! I think I earned my winery lunch π
10/13 β DNW β Gorgeous autumn day! Got up early to hit the Gorge Trail again before the crowds. Cut over after the waterfalls and looped down on the South Ridge. After lunch (and another winery), we walked the Ravine and Gorge Trails in the Finger Lakes National Forest. No big waterfalls, but we had the trails virtually to ourselves. Worked up an appetite β Iβm sure I ate (and drank) back all my exercise calories!
10/14 β DNW β Travel day. Up before dawn to get back in time for my afternoon class. Feeling a little stiff, but my DH drove most of the way and I enjoyed watching the sunrise over the misty countryside. Feeling restored!
10/15 β 185.0 β Whoa! Thatβs some bounce! Salt? Alcohol? Inflammation? Probably some of each, plus eating over my calorie allowance for a few days. Back on track this morning to turn this around. Catching up on posts and grading as well. NSV: wearing my tees tucked in without feeling self-conscious π
10/16 β 183.0 β Headed back down. Weβre getting some badly needed rain today, so Iβm focusing on getting some grading done. Logging and calorie goals met.
10/17 β 182.4 β Not quite back to where I was at the beginning of the round, but Iβm moving in the right direction. Another busy day with a workshop and extended office hours, but I got my exercise in doing some serious housework. Food was mostly a series of snacks rather than regular meals today, but I kept an eye on my goals for the day (including logging it all) and made pretty good choices.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 - 68,7 - DOMS today. Feeling fresh and happy. I am going to bump up my cals by 100 because that would reflect what I want to achieve in the long run a bit better. I am planning on having a chill day today and just walking for 1 hour.
10/11 - 68,8 - Still retaining water I think. This is what I find most difficult to mindfully deal with. But you get used to it as time goes on and as your mindset shifts... And a big part of looking at it 10 daysβ at a time, and seeing the difference round after round IS what made me join in the first place. Great, Iβm back on a mindful track :-)
10/12 - 68,5 - had a last minute dinner invite yesterday, ate pretty well throughout the day and worked out. Everythingβs fine with me :-) on track and happy :-)
10/13 - 68,3 - Itβs the weekend and I am out and about. Walked 3 hours yesterday. This loss was to be expected :-) Still trying to find a calorie target to match a loss of 250gr, but the unpredicted walks make it hard to do so. I think after 30 days of data I will have a bigger picture perspective and see what correlates and what doesnβt.
10/14 - 68,0 - whoop whoop. I didnβt walk nor had any workout yesterday, ate well, still hiking up the calories slowly and trying to find balance with general activity. Worked out and walked today.
10/15 - 68,1 - good insight into the small up and downs. Ate a lot more than usual yesterday to make up for the dayβs activity. And I was still hungry after my meals. I think I am low on veggies and my macros were not as balanced. So today grocery shop and bulking up my meals with more veggies and fats mmmhhhh....(Carbs and protein are on point - i.e. high :-))
10/16 - 67,9 - alright! Gotta up the calories from now on :-) love this new approach I have. Itβs definitely because things are going where I want them to, and I am sure there will be bad and hard times along the way but right now, I am enjoying it fully :-) + worked out today
10/17 - 67,9 - happy with that :-)
10/18 - 67,8 - still happy. Crazy how this round flew by for me. It really shows that I can make progress when Iβm committed :-) + worked out today8 -
Round 90: 5ΒΎlbs (19st 1lb)
Round 91: 7Β½lbs (18st 7Β½lb)
ROUND 92
Goal: 5lb loss.
10th October: 18st 6ΒΎlb (ΒΎlb loss) Feeling great! Finished week 6 of couch to 5k with a 25minute run. πͺ Honestly if you guys knew me you'd never have thought I could do it! I never thought I could. I'm so enjoying it too which is such a surprise!
11th October: 18st 5ΒΎlb (1lb loss) So happy to see that lb loss but suspect it's a fake out - skipped my evening meal last night because my kids were so unsettled. By the time I got the opportunity to eat it was after 9pm and I couldn't be bothered. I think I can expect a wee bump tomorrow.
12th October: 18st 6lb (ΒΌlb gain) There it is! No matter, I can cope with that. Onwards and downwards.
13th October: 18st 6lb (no change) I can't explain this. I was under on calories and jogged for half an hour yesterday. Disappointing.
14th October: 18st 6lb (no change) Umm..!! I will be going jogging tonight. Hoping that will give me a boost to get past this little ledge I'm stuck on. Fingers crossed.
15th October: 18st 6ΒΎlb (ΒΎlb gain) I can't even pretend to understand. 25min jog yesterday, under on calories, good choices. I'm feeling very frustrated. Literally back where I started on day one of this round.
16th October: 18st 8ΒΎlb (2lb gain) π€·ββοΈ
17th October: 18st 7lb (1ΒΎlb loss) Eight days in and I'm finally back to my starting weight for this round. π I'm so disappointed and baffled.
18th October: 18st 5ΒΌlb (1ΒΎlb loss) No chance of meeting my target now (unless I lose 2ΒΎlb tomorrow) but at least the numbers are headed in the right direction.
