Back on track for this round, it was nice being more relaxed (food wise) during the holiday season, I think I was loosing motivation and needed a break. Being able to treat myself and stay around the same weight has been encouraging and I feel motivated to loose some pounds again.

Goals
1 - Track my calories daily
2 - Run (or gym) 2x week - yoga 1x week
3 - Water 1.5l
4 - 10.000 steps
Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:
01/08 153.6 (-1.2) 11.136 steps.
01/09 153.6 (-0.0) 9636 steps. Not the best choices for dinner last night and I was over calories but no gain so that'll do
I should post my daily calories for accountability, just like my daily weight 
I need to get some veggies in, I haven't been shopping in nearly a week and my fridge is about empty, it'll help make some better choices! Today is another easy day, I'm hoping the weather will improve enough to be able to go for a walk during my lunch break.
01/10 154.6 (+1.0),1228 cal, 10.410 steps. TOM so no surprise there and I ate a late dinner which contributed to that gain (normally I don't eat after 6pm). I expect it to drop at the end of the TOM. Yesterday was a good day in the end, I walked home in the evening to get some steps in. Migraines are back so they've upped the medication dosage, but as it's all stress related so I'm not sure that's the best way to treat it. I've booked a week in Tunisia for Easter where I plan to do nothing but read and chill
01/11 154.6 (-0.0)
01/12 153.0 (-1.6) good drop, TOM over so I expected it
01/13 152.2 (-0.8) 1216 cal, 9500 steps + gym. My lowest weight so far! Yesterday was a god day, healthy food and 1h at the gym doing cardio and elliptical. I found some old jeans and surprisingly not only did they fit but they're even a little big so that's a win I'm very happy with. Today I've planned an easy day, I might walk home from work this evening if the weather stays reasonable.
01/14 152.2 (-0.0) 1198 cal, 8642 steps. Stayed on track yesterday, although I didn't get all my steps in. I'm happy to see this number two days in a row, I'm hoping it'll be my go to weight after staying in the 154.x for so long. With my daughter away and no junk food (actually hardly any food) at home it's so much easier to stay on track
I'm also taking the time to do a big clean at home, so I've not been to the gym as much as I planned.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 - 388.2 - Got an email from FitBit congratulating me on 15 lb. weight loss. Too cold and windy to walk this morning, so I'll get to the gym this afternoon for a walk inside. If I track my steps w/ Fitbit and calories w/ MFP, I seem to do better.
01/08 - 388.1 - Had to take a late evening walk last night. Cold and windy is no fun. But this morning, my knee isn't tender. So, medium length walks (1.5 - 2 miles) in the morning and evening seem to be the way to go. After last night's walk, I wasn't too hungry, but I was in a 1K+ caloric deficit for the day. Prolly ate too much, but as long as I keep going down, I'm happy. Over 9300 steps today.
01/09 - 387.9 - Skipping the early morning walk since we'll be doing so much running around. I will do DDPYoga and take an evening walk to complete the physical work today. Weight down .2 lbs. I'll be very happy with that every day.
01/10 -387.9 - Skipping the early morning walk since we'll be doing so much running around. I will do DDPYoga and take an evening walk to complete the physical work today. Weight down .2 lbs. I'll be very happy with that every day.
01/11 - 388.6 - The *running around* might have met my step requirement, but doesn't seem to have helped with weight loss. I think I need to stick to actual walking. And just meeting my StepBet challenge of 7200 steps isn't enough. I'm going to try to increase to 9k steps, knees willing. I'm also thinking of walking/hiking poles to take some stress off my knees while walking. We'll see.
01/12 - 387.4 - Right direction, just slower than I would like. Almost 12K steps yesterday.
01/13 - 386.4 - There we go. MFP and walking seem to be the trick. Now I'll add weights and yoga.
01/14 - 387.9 - Didn't do my steps yesterday. It's taking a bit for my body to adjust to moving. Just achy and my knee was a bit too sore.

My body is my ally
R100 EW: 73.1kg
01/08 73.4kg - YWA day 6, no run, 16hrs fast
01/09 73.0kg - no yoga and no run, 15hrs fast, TOM is imminent
Sometimes the body just takes what it needs, this morning that was a little extra sleept. Date night, including dinner, drinks and comedy.
01/10 73.2kg - YWA day 7, no run, 13hrs fast
Forgot to post during the day yesterday and then couldn't access last night.
And today, we had this office thing where everyone got a piece of cake, which I couldn't get out of without causing discussions.
01/11 73.2kg - 15hrs fast, short speed run, YWA day8
Still waiting for TOM. Woke up super hungry, so didn't quite make it to 16hrs after a night out yesterday,
01/12 72.6kg - 5mile run, YWA day 9, 17hr fast
Great end to the week. My average fasting time is 15.6hrs, so I'll work towards increasing that by end of the round.
Weekly steps: 72k - didn't do 10k each day, but caught up on Sunday
01/13 72.7kg - rest day, 17hrs fast
01/14 73kg, weighed after exercise, 5k run in the wind&rain, YWA day 10, hrs fast
Couldn't get online in the eve, when I wanted to post yesterday's result.
TOM finally made an appearance, which explains my sweets craving yesterday just before my eating window closed. I want to become better at not giving in to those.

01/14 - 149.0 - Food poisoning at dinner. Been up all night with all the TMI that goes with it. Laying down makes me nauseous and run for the toilet and drinking any liquids (pedialyte, water, ginger ale) make me run to the toilet as well. Managed a 20 minute nap somehow. I'm so tired and thirsty but both are going to bring back all that TMI I've managed to keep away for the last 2 hours (and it wasn't easy by any means).

Previous Day's Comments01/08 - And this is what not eating (or drinking) due to nerves looks like. False low! I had a few cashews to break my fast before lunch (in meeting and started getting nauseous) and ended up not having lunch at all because I got distracted/busy and found out I had a job interview coming up later in the evening. I also found out the company wanting to interview me (as the job posting was through a recruiter and company was not revealed until interview) so I had to try to focus on work knowing I had limited time to research the company once I was home. I got asked if I could fly down to Austin for an in-person interview immediately, though! So after that I did my Yoga with Adriene HOME practice (I've heard about the ab day 6 and figured it best to wait to eat until after) and finally was hungry enough to eat. Today should be better and I expect a jump up tomorrow/remainder of the round since I've managed to only eat dinner these last two days (which is great if I were fasting, but I had cashews as a snack so not in a fully fasted state and I did not eat my allotted calories during dinner to make up for it). Side note: I'M EXHAUSTED. For some reason I've been struggling to sleep and when I finally do manage to fall into deep sleep, its right around when my alarm goes off. Its now day 4 of this... Instant migraine this morning, shouldn't have complained about the headache yesterday morning. Its my Friday so I can sleep a little more tomorrow morning and hopefully feel refreshed and ready to go! Just needed to rant a little on that, I'm good. Probably caffeine withdrawals since I didn't have a drop of the stuff yesterday. Got me some ibuprofen and a small cup of black coffee and it seems to be helping quite a bit.
01/09 - Much better!! I ate appropriately calorie-wise yesterday (had more than one meal finally) and didn't hit my water goal, but doubled what I was drinking before so I'll take it! This is a much more accurate number than the last couple days. I'm happy it is still lower, but 151.x made me a little uneasy. Even 152.x didn't make me feel like I should've while knowing why I was so low (not treating my body well, even if not intentional). Off work tomorrow but taking car in to get serviced so not quite sure what will be on the menu (depends on how long service takes, I suppose - appointment is at 10 and its 30 minutes from home so it'll be time for me to break my fast pretty soon after). I need to save money for my impromptu trip to Texas over MLK day though. I did not budget for any of that so I'll likely just take a snack in case its a long appt and eat at home after to save..
01/10 - Guess I'm going to bounce here. It is a much more comfortable 152.x than before (when I was practically starving myself. Its an ice storm outside, really nasty today. Got the oil changed and suspension inspected then booked it home before it got worse. Turns out my car has to be fixed and I'm going to Texas a little early. Oh boy. There's a job fair for RecruitMilitary on Friday so I'm driving down Thursday instead of Saturday. I might as well go to the job fair while I'm already driving down there for the interview, right? I'm staying with BF so its not like it'll cost me any extra for a hotel or anything. While I'm gone, my car is in desperate need (like not really safe to drive kinda need) of struts and front brakes. So it will be dropped off and more money on the credit card since I still don't know what I'm going to be paid for the rest of this month and my bills come out of my checking on autopay. No overdraft for me! It'll get worked out soon, though, as I'm budgeting like crazy where I can and hopefully have it paid off come the end of February. Then its back to the loan and the other 2 credit cards that don't look so pretty... I'm a mess but I'm doing Dave Ramsey's baby steps to get back on track like I was about a year and a half ago before I retired. At least this card earns airline miles for my pending 2021 vacation and it'll be THAT much less I need to save for vacation once debt is paid off.
01/11 - Okay with this, a little water retention from lack of water. Ice storm yesterday and was out in it so didn't stop to get more water as I tried to beat the worst of it home. Still nasty out but staying home today. Ice has turned to snow but looks like it should be done by noon. Going to be almost 40 tomorrow so hopefully it'll melt all the icky away.
01/12 - I honestly don't remember my weight... It was an odd number in the low 152 range (152.1 or 152.2 I think, but not 100% sure). I had to step on the scale twice to be sure. Oh well. My fault for not posting soon enough as I got busy helping babysit. Tomorrow I will weigh in. Everything is set and scheduled for my trip to Texas Thursday. Just have to get the trailer and get it loaded on Wednesday after work but I have someone coming to help with that. Then have someone helping me drop off my car after trailer is loaded so it can get fixed while I'm gone. So much money all in one weekend I want to cry. But it'll help in the long run. Just have to focus on setting aside enough for my big move and throw the rest at debt until its gone. Started packing non-essential stuff, mainly kitchen-focused (things that are nice to have but I can do without. Especially since its just me, not the entire family so no extravagance needed with cooking). Figured if I can get a better assessment of what I have and will need when I move, I may be able to purge some more stuff and get a smaller truck which is much cheaper.
01/13 - So my guess-timate for yesterday was probably more right than wrong given this weight. Got meals prepped for this short week. May need to stop and get some snack stuff for my drive down to Texas Thursday so I don't have to stop as much or deal with gas station/fast food which will make my tummy unhappy. Didn't really stop on my last drive back home so I image a peanut butter sandwich and a couple small snacks may be enough. I have water to take with me as well. Didn't do YWA HOME Saturday so did 2 practices yesterday to catch up. I realized I'm going to be missing 5 days of it so when I get back I have 5 days of catch up and must do 2 a day (I know I don't have to, but mentally it'll be better for me)

OSW 382.0
RSW 266.6
01/08 266.8 I’ll admit I let the scale get me a little down this morning. However, as I was putting together the document that I use for this challenge I realized that I’m doing great. I’m only up about a pound and half from my pre break round low. I was certain that my eating habits over the holidays had gained me an honest pound or two, so where I am now makes perfect sense. I’ve only been fully back on track for a week and I don’t know what I expected. Thank you GrandmaJackie for this challenge it helped me this morning.
01/09 266.6 I was able to add resistance on my bike the other day plus a new workout and I’m still feeling it a bit. I was a little less active yesterday because my legs felt stiff. I’m hopeful of at least getting a bit more walking in today.
01/10 267.4 I went out to dinner with the hubby, it was in calorie but very sodium filled.
01/11 267.6
01/12 266.0 Yay a drop! I thought for sure I’d bounce again; I went a smidge over calories yesterday and didn’t move much. However, I did set my calories back to being sedentary for the time being so maybe that helped some. I knew that I would be out and about less this weekend because of the weather and I have trouble getting in the same step count inside as I do when I can walk outside.
01/13 267.2 One word, pizza.
01/14 265.6 Yay. I was worried I’d see another bounce because I had an early weigh in. I’m trying a new schedule in hopes of getting more than five hours of broken sleep a night.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08: 205.6 Yes! Down a full pound already! I had a great day, I am proud to admit out loud! Not only because I stayed under my calorie deficit, but because I actually had to eat more to make sure I came close to hitting the needed calories (good calorie choices, too). I am eager to continue good habits today.
01/09: 204.0 Increased my water intake during my period and watched my sodium intake; two problems I have struggled with in my weight loss efforts. I was always afraid I’d drank too much water, but it looks like I have been dehydrated during my period, as my doctor suggested.
01/10: 204.0 Holding steady.
01/11: 203.8 Not too happy with the way I snacked between meals yesterday.
01/12: 204.0 It snowed, so I neglected my walking routine. Looks like I will just have to brave the cold!
01/13: 202.8 Resumed my walking routine and finally cut back on the sugar.
01/14: 203.8 Ate out as an experiment to see what would happen, after a week of not eating out. Now I know!

Day/Weight/Comment:
01/08- 186.6: Trying to get my eating in check. Been better with the sweets. Had a burger and fries for supper but did not snack after that.
01/09- 186.4. Better day yesterday which was really hard with work stress. Resisted the urge to have candy and ate a pepperoni stick instead. No LNS.
01/10- 185.6: Not as good eating day as I had hoped. I Went in to the dollar store to get new batteries for my scale. I was so close to buying candy but resisted. What’s with the Easter candy out already!! Weekends are hard for me- must resist the urge to just sit eating junk.
01/11- no weigh in. Stressful day at work plus pms=poor food choices
01/12- 185.8. Poor eating this weekend (PMS). LNS. Back to it tomorrow.
01/13- 186.4
01/14-185.6. Still not great eating. Can do better17 -

1/11 166.4lbs, 36.1%bf; 7h34m/86 - this cold has moved into my chest and won't let go. Hard to sleep well.
1/12 166.4lbs, 36.1%bf; 6h42m/69 - not great sleep, feeling pretty run down.
1/13 165.4lbs, 35.8%bf; 6h25m/77 - starting to feel better.
1/14 166.2lbs, 36.0%bf; 7h47m/87 - Sunday's dip was probably water related. No chance at goal this round but feeling better and down overall. That's a win.

01/14 193.0 ?? I'm hoping this is fluid gain from the resistance excersise I did yesterday. I walked 15,000 steps and stayed on plan.

R101 - First Round for Me.
Goals in 2020: lower body fat %, gain strength, improve running times, focus on macros esp protein goals,hit goal weight.
56 year old, female, 5' 7"ft
Heaviest W: 160
Current W:. 148.9
Challenge GW: Lose 2 lbs as I get back into the swing of things after a long vacay.
Day/Weight/Comment:
1/08: 148.9 - first weigh in since 12/21. Better than I expected after eating and drinking whatever I wanted for 2 weeks. It was worth it but need to batten down the hatches for 2020. Did a circuit training class and went for a run and it felt good. I will be sore
1/09: 148.8 - Had my Body Fat % measured at the gym via a DXA scan. I now have some data to work with to get stronger and lose the fat. And I need to eat more protein.
1/10: 148.8 ( same ) Never understand how my scale measures the same weight. Don't know if I trust it tbh. Had a good run. But still enjoying the wine at night. That has to stop - empty calories
1/11: 149.8 (+1 lb ) Weighed after my protein drink and coffee so who knows. Heading to the gym for some weights and cardio.
1/12: 149.6 (-.2) Pre-run. Ran 6 miles today - felt ok. Ate a big breakfast so need to be watchful the rest of the day and get some veggies in me and lots of water. Hoping for a great week ahead of motivation
1/13: 149.8 (+.2) One word……Pancake! Going to focus on water and eating some extra veggies. I am sore today so the walk helped. Also need to get back into abstaining mode for a while re alcohol. Just a derailing habit for me.
1/14: 149.8 – I think its weird that I can weigh in the same day after day. What are the chances? Keep thinking that my scale is not right but then I added an 8 pound dumbbell and low and behold, my scale said 157.8 so it appears to be accurate. I will just go with it. Numbers are funny that way. Another day another chance to move and feed my body in a healthy way.🤣🤔

56 year old, female, 6' ft
Heaviest W: 400
Current W:. 283.8
Challenge GW:. ( would like to lose 2 or 3 lbs this round)
Day/Weight/Comment:
1/08: 283.8
1/09: 280.6 (this loss is mostly water, been retaining it)
1/10: 280.8 (+.2 oz) ( increase) did some extra walking yesterday. Still having problems with retaining water. Which I'm a little worried might make me show an increase in weight. Which is what happens sometimes, but the water will go away and than show the true weight loss. Might not happen this round. My legs are really swollen.
1/11: 278.6 (-2.2 ) I'm very happy that the water I've been retaining is finally starting to come off.
1/12: 282.8 (+4.2) Yes, I've gained. Doctor put me on a medication and it does cause you to retain water. Untill my body gets used to it and then I'll start losing all the water and keep it off. Wish it would happen sooner than later. 😩
.
1/13: 281.4 (-1.4 lb) loss from last week. Hopefully the water is finally coming off and will continue to and stay off. My goal for this round was 2 to 3 lbs loss. I've lost (-2.4 lbs) from start weight.(mostly water weight) Hoping to lose 1 or 2 lbs of real weight, once water is finished coming off. Hopefully before R101 is over in 4 days.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/8: 222.6 not sure if I've set my 10-day goal a little too aggressive, but we'll see. Holiday weight is now gone so going for even more loss!
1/9: 222.8
1/10: DNW
1/11: 223.7 rough days Thursday and Friday. I went off the rail for some reason. Still not sure why. Back on track now.
1/12: 222.2 feeling back on track and more in control of my emotions. Dang, this is tough stuff.
1/13: 221.8 We had lunch at Santa Fe after church yesterday. It is possible to eat semi-healthy at restaurants but it’s so hard to resist when everyone else is eating whatever they want. I chose a grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, and a side salad with dressing on the side (only dipping salad into the dressing). I did have a dinner roll with butter but also made sure to log it and ate light in the evening.
1/14: 221.9 I wonder if it was the salted pretzels right before bed that prevented a downward trend? Hmmm ...

Round 100 End/Round 101 start weight: 164.0 lbs
Goal this round: 163.0 lbs
Ultimate goal 135 lbs.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 163.0 This is the lowest I have been in over 5 years. Up until I hit my 40's I could eat anything I wanted, looking forward to weighing what I did when I was younger.
01/09 164.0 lbs. New it was to good to be true. LOL, Met all my goals so expect this to go back down.
01/10 164.4 lbs I usually allow myself 1200 to 1500 calorie window but have been noticing that I am not loosing if I go over 1200. I might have to reset my calorie goals. I have been walking 2 to 3 miles each day in the house, below zero and crazy wind outside and doing a 20 to 30 minute workout. Someone just introduced me to Fiton workouts and love all the choices. No worries I will get this figured out. I want back in the 163"s.
01/11 163.6 lbs under 1200 in calories, walked 2 miles in the house, FitOn workout plus 2020 challenge.
01/12 164.6 We went out with friends to watch the Bison and Viking game and I was way over calories but had a great time.
01/13 165 lbs . Bummer, but I had cabin fever bad. The weather here is not cooperating, icy snow, so no sking or walking and below zero wind chills in the -30's makes it impossible to do anything outside. No gym near and I get bored and snack. Oh well this is a new week.
01/14 164.4 lbs Another week of below 40 windchills is ahead so walked 2 miles, did a cardio workout, and booty workout all in the house. Under 1000 calories. At least I lost weight and not my mind. LOL

Back to life! Back to reality!
Last yearMy goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
This year, I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
Last year, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
This year, I have consistently lost weight since the end of July. I have put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but am still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

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
01/08 – 124.2 – Been doing good with the calories and better with the water. Haven’t had a chance to do any walking/jogging since Saturday-things have been crazy at work and I really don’t want to go by myself after dark.
01/09 – 123.2
01/10 – 123.2
01/11 – 122.2 - !!!
01/12 – 122.6
01/13 – 123.0 – I was good until around dinner time, then I just kept wanting to snack. I still wasn’t too bad and I am still happy with where I am. I am ok with gaining and bouncing around since I am in maintenance, but it has definitely been an adjustment from always wanting to see a lower number.
01/14 – 123.4 – I was craving potato wedges yesterday and gave in, got it out of my system and still didn’t do too bad.
