I was really good all day yesterday and ate quite healthy at the restaurant in the evening but off course there were no calorie free options lol Today is the last New Year Lunch with my company, we'll see how it goes. My daughter left this morning for her ski trip, she was so excited and I love seeing her go to all these events with a smile up to her ears lol we were up at 4h30 am, so I'm shattered and will try and resist the chocolate urges As I'm alone for the next 10 days I'm planning my sports and yoga activities nearly daily!

Not weighed in for ages. But eaten way too much over December and the holidays - Disney trip with the family, way too much entertaining, birthdays and on it went!
To top it all my Personal Trainer got married so haven't been to the gym for the last couple of weeks wither....
Back to some sort of normality today and I so badly need (and want!) to get back to proper tracking.


01/02 - 145.1lb - Uuurrrgghh - not seen the 140's for a long time - I know most of this weight isn't "real" weight but bloat. Should be out the 140's pretty quickly. Target for the remaining days of this round is to get back to tracking and normal eating and back to the 130's my mid January.
Back to work today - tough getting up as been going to bed way too late and hence getting up late - so the 6am alarm this morning hurt! Need to stay focused today as easy to eat junk and drink too much coffee when I'm tired.

01/03 - DNW
01/04 - DNW
01/05 - DNW
01/06 - 143.2lb (-1.9lb) A few days not weighing (just wanted to start getting back to normal and also last few days with no alarm and hubby bringing me a tea in bed!) and just getting back to "normal" has paid dividends already. Gym yesterday afternoon after which I felt so much better too. Normality returns today - back to normal 4 days a week at work, girls back to school and college so this all gets a lot easier I think. Onwards and downwards
for me and back to daily weighing.

01/07 - 141.3lb (-1.9lb) Bit more of my post-Christmas / back to normality whoosh. Feeling better being back in control, tracking, drinking plenty of water ....... Just need to get to the 130's

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29—170.8 All holiday sweets are cleared from the house. I think I’ll begin the No Junk Food Challenge today for a week. After all the cookies, cakes, etc available 24/7 over the holidays, not only do I need to do this, but it may help with breaking that sugar addiction which will be difficult again. Hopefully, I’ll be able to stick with it most days at least. One day at a time! I’ve also committed to the 365-mile Challenge (not counting step miles) and recruited two long-time friends to share a spreadsheet to track our progress, so this should be fun, too. I did it two years ago (finished by June) and it was not only fun, but really helped keep me motivated to get outside every day weather allowed and get in a walk, bike ride, or hike.
12/30—170.2–Got in a 20 minute/5 mile exercise bike program; walked the neighborhood; was successful in the No Junk Food Challenge. I will track all my food today!
12/31—169.8—Goodbye 170s! Not going back. Hurt my back yesterday putting together a piece of furniture, but still hobbled around the neighborhood for a walk—not as long as it would have been, but at least I got our there. With all sweets out of the house, I already feel better! Goals for today: fast 16/8 or better, log all food and stay within calories, and get in a walk AND a bike session. Oh, and HIDE THE PEANUT BUTTER!
01/01–167.2—Love this!!! But I did work for it! Went for a longer walk, but the real difference was in my nutrition. Working in lots of veggies and several fruits throughout the day, even a little yogurt with fresh fruit as my dessert last night at dinner. No cheating yesterday. Success with the No Junk Food Challenge for 3 days in a row now. That always works for me if I will stick to it ruthlessly. Happy New Year!
01/02–169.0—Hiked yesterday, which almost always makes me tick up a little bit, but I also gave in to some LNS last night. Hopefully this will drop quickly again. Still a loss for the round so far though, so
01/03—167.8—Yay, headed back in the right direction. Got in a good workout early yesterday with my exercise bike, then stayed on plan for calories in the green. Have a breakfast meeting this morning at Panera—I will NOT have a cinnamon crunch bagel!!! I’ll need to repeat that mantra to myself multiple times between now and then. LOL
01/04–167.2—Did great during my breakfast with old friends—steel cut oatmeal INSTEAD of that cinnamon crunch bagel I love. Success! Also, got in an evening bike workout, so I’m happy with my day yesterday.
01/05—167.4—This is normal. I will not let it get to me. Still doing well with tracking and exercise, but I guess I could have done that bike workout last night even though I felt like my thigh muscles needed a rest. I walked yesterday morning since the rain had finally stopped.
01/06—166.8—Moving right along. Hope this holds till tomorrow! Got in a walk and a 39-min session on the exercise bike. Getting better at tracking water.
01/07—167—Had a big hunger day yesterday. I went a little over on calories, but held it at bay for the most part. Exceeded my goal for the round though! Thanks for a good first round back.

12/29 169.4lbs, 36.9%BF; 7h27m/78 - unexpected loss, but I will take it! Had an extra day at the gym last week... I'm sure that helped. And when I was over, it was usually protein & a little fat; kept carbs on lockdown as much as possible.
12/30 169.4lbs, 36.9%BF; 6h9m/64 - not great sleep. Gym this morning and probably a very long day at work ahead.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 - 388.6 - Walked around a local mall 1.2 miles, will take another walk after dinner.
12/30 - 393.4 - Forgot to weigh myself this morning so this is after lunch + haven't been out yet (later today, though) because of the rain.
12/31 - 389.1 - Tweaked my knee Monday night and haven't been able to walk. Rest is smart in this case. But I expect my weight to rise a bit tomorrow. I hate missing my walks.
01/01 - 392.2 - Knee is better, but outside walking may be out. Fortunately, the local gym is open today. Gonna try the Cybex to keep from stressing my knee. Also found that if I don't track my calories/food w/MyFitnessPal, my weight seems to go up a bit. So... back to tracking (NY resolution).
01/02 - 391.5 - Knee continues to improve, but I'll still use the Cybex at my local gym. I have to pedal faster than I like, but get done in 45 minutes. If I'm not lazy and track my calories properly (MFP) I see gradual decreases. When I'm an idiot...
01/03 - 389.9 - Back under 390 again. Knee feels good. I'll stay at the gym for, at least, one more day. But I want to get back outside. Now I'll start adding yoga and weights to my plan. Just use MFP for calorie tracking and it always works. Why I stop? Laziness?
01/04 - missed - not sure how. Had to go for a late night walk to get in my steps for the day (StepBet)
01/05 - 389.4 - Reinforcing my belief that, if I track my calories w/ MFP, my weight continues on a downward slope. Tried to walk this morning, but the wind is brutal. To the gym later.
01/06 - 387.6 - Good walk last night. Knees are achy, by not in pain. Just calorie count and track w/ MFP is doing it for me. Gotta start adding in yoga and weights to the plan.
01/07 - 388.4 - Yesterday went downhill fast. Food poisoning. And a migraine on top. Less than 1K steps and those only to run to the bathroom. Small obstacle - move forward!

01/01 – 197.5 – haven’t done well the past couple of months.
01/02 – 195.1 – Must have had some water weight. Rowed for about 10 minutes yesterday, recorded all my food, no alcohol, and drank my water.
01/03 – 193.1 – I know this won’t last. I was around 190 before the holidays and I know how hard that was to take off. Didn’t exercise yesterday, but recorded all my food, no alcohol, and drank my water. Just need to keep this up.
01/04 – 193.6 – Was expecting this. 15 minutes of rowing yesterday, recorded all my food, no alcohol, and drank my water.
01/05 – was out of town, so weight. Hiked for 2 miles. Recorded all my food, no alcohol (even though I was out of town), and drank my water.
01/06 – 193.3 – Still OK. No work out yesterday. Recorded all my food, no alcohol, and drank all my water.
01/07 – 193.8 – Not what I was expecting, but just need to keep going. Rowed 15 minutes, recorded food, no alcohol, and drank my water.

01/07 - 152.8 - Ohhhhhkaaaaay... Maybe yesterday was a little more accurate than I thought? Was NOT expecting this. Though I didn't get to each lunch (heated up lunch, sat down, took two bites before I got pulled into meetings for work that lasted up until I headed home for the day.) I had some steaks that needed to be cooked before they went bad so I just saved yesterday's lunch for lunch today and ate my steaks for dinner instead. I still expected a bump or at least something steady since my water was higher than Sunday's was (though not where I want or it needs to be). YWA HOME practice day 5 completed. I did NOT want to do it, but I did it and after was so thankful for it. Only 25 more days to go! Hopefully by then I'll be more excited but I'm still building the habit and I'm feeling super weak (This stuff used to be easier when I was in the army and practicing more) so I think its a mental barrier I need to break through. I will with time and consistency (:

Previous Day's Comments

12/29 - The scale behaved better this morning. It actually shifted numbers when I moved so I believe this weight. Not bad for having an early dinner out with friends and a few drinks. I did wake up extremely thirsty so I drank almost a full bottle of water before I even got out of bed so I'm sure this is a bit higher than it would be had I not done that. Honestly forgot about weighing until I finally got out of bed and went into the bathroom. Quite happy to see 154.x again despite the water chugging.
12/30 - Holding steady, I'll take it. I was so hungry so I ended up having a really early dinner and then was hungry again when I went to bed. I knew I'd get a stomach ache if I ate that close to bed and it wasn't painful hunger so I let it go. Not hungry at all this morning so I'll take that as a win. Trying to fast until 11 (our lunch) and start this week with a good 19 hour fast. Also love work weeks simply because I'm THAT much better with my water intake. I get so lazy and forgetful at home. Goal is to continue water intake on Wednesday when I'm off.
12/31 - Hello again, how I've missed you! Hoping to say goodbye to 154.x and above as I say goodbye to 2019. Came in early to work so I can leave a little early for the football game and hopefully make my spinach artichoke dip for the group after. I still have to get some groceries for it so I'm not quite sure if it'll be for tonight or tomorrow. We shall see how things go. Happy New Year all!!

Edit: Boo, I realized TOM will be here any day now to help me ring in the new year. This makes me worry I'm not going to be saying goodbye to 154.x and above after all. Going to just have to work extra hard to stay on top of things in hopes I can avoid a blip (or that any loss is greater than or equal to any TOM blips I have)
01/01 - Hello, TOM. Hello water weight. This is expected, not too upset by it. We didn't really have "dinner" and instead had a bunch of finger food (chips and dip, bacon wrapped smokies, bbq smokies). My neighbor taught me how to make his family's chip dip and I loved it! Too many super-salty chips throughout the night. In hindsight I should have made sure to eat a proper dinner before starting on the snacks so I wouldn't be so hungry. Only had 2 drinks before the small glass of champagne at midnight. Hopefully this weight will be down very quickly and I'm sure I can before the end of the round. TOM bloat should be gone no later than Sunday and the salty water weight will be gone long before that as long as I can stay on track.
01/02 - Holding still. At least I can be happy that I haven't increased! Bloated like no other (I had too much dairy, lactose sensitive) I took my lactose pills which eased the discomfort from it, but didn't seem to ease the bloat itself. Going to push water today and try to watch my evening eating. Shouldn't be too hard now that the madness of New Years is over and normalcy resumed (was planning a low key event for New Years but my landlady came over and made it into a party and we are still recovering from her. All struggling financially so we don't want to waste the leftover food). Hoping, if I don't eat any more dairy, I'll lose the bloat by tomorrow and drop some water weight with it. I'm determined to get back down!
01/03 - Little bitty drop, I'll take it. I was so hungry last night -- my stomach HURT because I felt so hungry. Not sure what that was about. I ended up really thirsty, too, and almost met my water goal in a 2 hours span. Guess my body needed a bit of a flush. Still struggling with TOM issues (bloat and general sluggishness) but hoping it'll be over by tomorrow, I hate feeling like this. It seems worse than normal, but I know its because of my not-so-great choices with food, activity, and stress levels. I know I can control how my body feels but I seem to forget in the moment how that food, water, relaxation help. Leading me into: Today is Day 2 of Yoga With Adriene 30 day HOME. Excited to see where this takes me!
01/04 - Keep on swimming, keep on swimming. I'm not too sure I'll get down to 153.x before end of round if I keep dropping this slow. Maybe I'll have a whoosh soon, but I'm not holding my breath so I don't get disappointed. At least I'm dropping and trending back downward so I cannot complain. Its been a rough week with migraines, nausea, and insomnia. But I'm pulling through and determined to get back on track!
01/05 - The whoosh I was hoping for yesterday! Hopefully this keeps trending downward. Not quite sure I'll see 153.x this round as this is a big whoosh, but I'm okay if I don't. Its my own fault for not getting back on track after my 156.x reality check. Been hanging out with my neighbors all weekend so my eating hasn't been fully under control. I need to work on that. Its not horrible, but snacking and beers is doing me in. At least we made a deal that we need to get out and go for walks after work. I introduced them to Stepbet so I think we may take part of one of those in the near future. If there's money on the line, we are so much more motivated haha. I stayed up and watched the game last night so I didn't get my day 3 YWA HOME done. I'm about to do Day 3 now, take a short break, and do day 4 (today) before I even get showered or dressed to go watch the games today with my neighbor. (This was the plan yesterday, do day 2 in morning, do my 11am meeting, then do day 3. Except the meeting didn't happen and I sat around waiting since we are in different time zones. Nothing. By then I needed to get to the grocery store so I could get food for dinner and then over to neighbor's. Today I'm stocked up so the only timeline is the games. I can't watch football until I'm caught up!)
01/06 - This isn't accurate, I did not get enough water in this weekend, yesterday especially. Also wasn't super hungry so didn't have much to eat at all. Batch cooked some fish and roasted vegetables for lunch Mon-Wed and will figure out something for lunch Thursday before then. I finally went grocery shopping for the first time in over a month! Stocked up on some meats (chili, steaks, stir fry, and roast) and chicken stock (I was out) which should get me through the month. I have more fish and chicken in the freezer as well to get by (I'm thinking another batch of chicken and rice? I'm drowning in the rice BF left me on his move and the rice and a half package of spaghetti noodles is all that's left non-primal in my pantry). Only thing I may still need is vegetables but I have it in my budget for one more trip to stock up on those once I see a decent sale. I finally feel like I can get my eating back on track (and mostly primal) now that I'm not trying to make something out of my sporatic inventory. Budgeting isn't easy but eating only what's on hand has helped SO much. Debt payoff (while still eating well), here I come! Finally, I did day 3 and day 4 of Yoga with Adriene so I'm all caught up. Day 5 tonight after work! I'm sore and it feels amazing. Best decision I've made this year.

My 61st Round!

Time to start counting calories again. I've finished over maintenance the last 3 rounds and it's time to get serious. I've read that 80% to 95% of people who have lost a significant amount of weight will regain it within 2 to 3 years. I've been part of that statistic in the past, but this time I'll be one of the 5% to 20%. I've managed to mostly maintain over the past year and I plan to continue into the New Year.

Day/Weight/Comment

12/29 - 147.5 - Holding steady. I logged all my food this evening and ended up at 1500 calories, which is more than I should have eaten (65 above goal after exercise calories). I need to log as I eat (which is how I lost weight before). I've gotten out of the habit and I need to get back. I also had extra sodium today, so tomorrow I may be up.
12/30 - 147.5 - I'm glad there is no Monday bounce. I've already logged my breakfast and since I'm back in the office I should do better drinking my water today.
12/31 - 147
01/01 - 148.5 - We had a great time with family and overnight guests.
01/02 - 147
01/03 - 147.5 - I took 3 days vacation this week for the New Year. Back to work today and back to logging. I'm glad the New Year celebration didn't do too much damage.
01/04 - 147.5
01/05 - 147.5
01/06 - 147.5 - I'm happy that I didn't bump up over the weekend. Back to a 5 day work week and back on track.
01/07 - 147 - Okay, down a half pound for the round. I'll take it. See you next round!

01/03 164.2 lbs Already met this rounds goal, now to hold or loose more. Really missing the holiday cheer. LOL
01/04 165.0 lbs I knew it was to good to be true yesterday. I was over in carbs, but ok in calories.
01/05. 165. Lbs.
01/06 165.4 lbs. My calories have been within range 1200 to 1500 but closer to 1500, maybe I need to get closer to 1200 today to get down to goal weight for this round.
01/07 164.0 lbs I made my calories more about 1000 yesterday. My family likes breads, pasta, etc. Hard to cook and stay under.

Completely my goal for this round, YaY. Lost 1.4 lbs. Hoping to continue now, finally got rid of the leftovers and going to grocery store today to restock.

Thank you for setting up these rounds, they have been so helpful to me.

Thanks @grandmajackie, this challenge is great. First time joining in. I love setting short-term goals and everyone’s posts and successes are so motivating. Two days ago I hit my heaviest weight ever. I’m on my third day of eating healthy and exercising.

Previous posts

12/29 - 183.9
What I did well: Ended 16/8 intermittent fast at 10am this morning for 18 hrs fasting. This works for me because I'm not hungry in the mornings. I can go to bed hungry and wake up not hungry at all and I eat 2 meals the day my fast ends. Waterrower for 30 mins, actual calories (not net) 1197, started new fast at 3:30pm. No sugar. No processed food. 4 vegies.
What I can improve on tomorrow: Eat at least 2 serv fruit, drink more water - only 5 cups today. Add some reps with free weights.

12/30 - 182.7 Yay! Ended Fast of 18 hrs. Too early to doc how today went but I have to say I feel very optimistic. I have never joined an online group before and I can already tell the accountability factor, reading all your posts with how you're doing and seeing your progress is extremely motivating. Additional goals: be able to climb 2 flights of stairs in house without getting winded and not have my bra cut me in half - sorry to the guys on here.

Evening update: Calories 1015 (not net), rowed 30 mins, did some free weight, stopped eating at 4pm, and did NOT eat sugar, which is great considering my cravings are all-in after the holidays - but they are subsiding, thank goodness. What I need to do better tomorrow: did not meet my vegie/fruit goal unless you count white potatoes and onions in a ham casserole as vegies Got to drink more water too!

12/31 - 180.9, and because i thought something was wrong with my scale , I weighed again later and it was 181.0 so 5 pounds in 5 days, BUT readying myself if it goes up tomorrow to not get discouraged. I must have had a LOT of water weight after Christmas. I thought it would go up today because I ate bread and potatoes yesterday (but kept calories low and rowed). The bread I eat though is homemade english muffin bread. It's higher in protein because made with bread flour and whole milk - no butter, oil, or eggs and just 63 calories per oz (and so good). 1221 calories. IF 19.5 hrs. I'm going to drink a lot of water today to see if I can keep my weight from shooting up tomorrow. I will enjoy the moment though!

01/01 - 180.6. IF 18 hrs. 1138 calories. Shoveled a foot of snow off my deck - it took me forever but burned calories like crazy and so nice to just be outside. Rowed 10 mins. Today I will eat those 6 vegies/fruit I keep saying I'm going to eat LOL and drink 64oz of water! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. Here's to a very healthy 2020!

01/02 - 180.1 - 7th day sticking to it! If 17 hrs. I'm thrilled with the scale going down but also know that some of it is water weight from the holidays and know it will slow down and may even go up a little in the days to come. However, what I'm really proud of is that I've stuck with it this first week since for me (and most people I'm sure) the starting, or getting back on it, is the hardest of all. I know I'm going to do it this time! Starting to have health issues and hitting the highest weight by far that I've ever hit freaked me out big time. When I joined this message board, and it was the first time I joined one, I wasn't sure if it would help, but it's really amazing how nice and supportive everyone is and how it really does keep you accountable and motivated.

01/03 - 179.9 - Met 10 day goal - 6 pounds lost since I joined MFP on 12/27/19. Just squeaked it out this morning and finally back into the 170's!! Even if I go back and forth for a few days into 180's again, on this day I hit it and will enjoy it this morning. My goal for the rest of this 10 day period is to be solidly in the 170's to start the next 10 day challenge! Today will be the 7th day I've done intermittent fasting. In some ways, it's just happened naturally because I find when I fast, I start being able to go without eating somewhat easier and not as focused on food. Emphasis on "somewhat" as I'm not there all the way. Never being hungry in the mornings helps. However, last night I was very hungry. My average calories over the last 7 days has been 1163 (not net) with rowing every day but one burning 300 calories. I allow 1500 calories a day so if I go over 1200 I don't get into my old games of OMG I'm over by 1 calorie, I must eat everything in sight and start over, which means I'm going to eat for days as I try to get back on it. I've finally got it through my head that even an 1800 calorie day is better than deciding I blew it because I ate 1400 calories and must eat everything in the house! Another reason IF is good for me is my cravings are horrible in the late afternoon/evening so it's helping me to regain control of that time period. I'm going to up my calories a little and start snowshoeing or walking along with rowing. Challenge coming up: Playoffs and wanting to make all kind of good stuff. I think I'll do baked wings with very little blue cheese dressing! This is going to be a very fun weekend with all the games!!

01/04 - 180.0 - that dastardly scale - just kidding, expected not to be solidly into the 170's for a few days more at least. I intentionally added more calories yesterday because I was feeling weak physically. I'm proud that I didn't do what the old me would do and binge because I was going over 1200 calories and instead I had 1424 calories. I had pecans and added salt (another goal to reduce since I eat way too much). Best pecans ever - shipped from a farm in Georgia who has no other nuts which is great since I'm severely allergic to peanuts. Enjoy your weekend!

01/05 - 179.1 - Yesterday: 1093 calories, Rowed 30 mins, only 32 oz of water (horrible), only 1 vegie/fruit (what?) Okay, I am so happy to be losing this weight, however, this is about getting healthy in EVERY way. So, today, I WILL get 6 vegies/fruit in and drink 64 oz water!! That is my ONLY goal for today!. I'm upping my calories for the next few days also.

01/06 - 179.3 - Hopefully, I am solidly into the 170's now. I met my only goal for yesterday finally - ate 6 vegies/fruit and drank 64oz of water. Will do the same today. Ate 2 slices of my homemade english muffin bread, took a day off from rowing, had 1292 calories. Beginning 12/27, I have had no sugar, no processed food, only white flour I've had is english muffin bread. And with IF at 18 hrs on average most days, my cravings have subsided quite a bit.

Eat at/under calorie goal each day (I’m full time breast-feeding, so that’s still a lot of calories!). Be especially watchful of evening eating. Hydrate. Move. Lose any amount.
