    This will be my 3rd round.
    I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
    My name is Dawn. 59 year old female. I was 5'3" but think that I am 5'2" now. Broca Index says that I should be 112.8 pounds.
    I live in South East British Columbia Canada
    MFP start date October 29.18 - SW 191
    This round start weight: 151.2 - June 09.20
    Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

    My previous 2 rounds:
    My first round of this was #3, the one starting November 22 ending February 29 - Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7 pounds
    This last one, #4:
    Day 1 March 01 - 154.4
    Day 100 June 08 - 151.7
    Total: 2.7 pounds lost in 100 days. Argh, all of that hard work for such a piddly result.
    200 days = 6.4 - So hopefully at least 10 pounds per year. This will take forever!!
    I like to see a monthly total usually, but will try this weekly idea. More accountability : - )
    I am going to keep track of my leftover calories this time, based on 1200 calories consumed per day.

    Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

    Day 1: Tues, 6/9 - 151.2 - 607 calories leftover in the tracker (Green)
    Day 2: Wed, 6/10 - 149.9 - Yippee Yahoo to touch the 140s, even if only slightly. - 1278 leftover in the tracker (Green)
    Day 3: Thurs, 6/11 - 150.1 - 14 calories leftover in the tracker
    Day 4: Fri, 6/12 - 153.4 - Had a cheat meal (Asian Sesame Ribs) last night and it was delicious. I try to have Ribs only once per month or less because of the weight gain. I must have drank 2 litres of water or more afterwards because they were salty, that adds to the high weight this morning. I don't expect my weight to be so high tomorrow, I will keep my calories low today. 910 calories left over
    Day 5: Sat, 6/13: 153.2 - Well, it comes off much slower than it goes on as we know! In the green always even if small, but to lose I need at least 500 calories per day in the green. 104 Calories left over

    1st Week Goal Weight: 150.2
    1st Week Actual Weight: 153.2 - Gain of 2 pounds in 5 days. Hoping for a woosh to start the next one.
    Excess calories burned: 2913 - Not enough to burn a pound, but still more than enough to not gain 2 pounds!


    Day 6: Sun, 6/14 - 152.9 - This was my first full workout in a few days since I dropped a piece of concrete on my toes. 776 leftover in the tracker (Green).
    Day 7: Mon, 6/15 - 150.9 - Good, now to get back to that 149.9. 846 excess calories left over.
    Day 8: Tues, 6/16 - 151.0 - Below day 1 slightly, so that is good, but really working for some progress this week. 1354 left over in the tracker.
    Day 9: Wed, 6/17: - 150.2 - Burned lots of calories yesterday, struggled to get enough calories in for a change. Jello and cookies was my silly solution. 800 calories left over
    Day 10: Thurs, 6/18 - 150.2 - Hope to see a small drop tomorrow morning. 773 left over in the tracker (green)
    Day 11: Fri, 6/19: - 150.3 - Hmm, small gain, not sure why. Going to try to delay my cheat day (Rib Eye) since there is only one more weigh in for this week. It is in the freezer, I will have it another day. 176 calories left over
    Day 12: Sat, 6/20: - 150.6 - I had a Samosa and a Chimichanga last night. 571 left over in the tracker

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 149.9 - I know that this sounds ambitious, but my average (even with the high days) was 151.5
    2ndWeek Actual Weight: 150.6 - 0.8 down from Day 1 (12 days)
    Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over - 5296 calories

    Day 13: Sun, 6/21: - 150.6 - Missed the weigh in today, going with yesterday's weight. 1045 cal left over in the tracker
    Day 14: Mon, 6/22: - 152.0 - Ouch. Makes no sense. 926 cal left over in the tracker.
    Day 15: Tues, 6/23: 151.6 - Super frustrated. I work so hard at this! 608 calories left in the tracker
    Day 16: Wed, 6/24: - 151.6 - I don't get it, right on point. Still above day 1!! 909 calories left over in the tracker (green)
    Day 17: Thurs, 6/25: 150.7 - Peed like 40 times yesterday, guessing that it was trapped water? I had been working out in the hot sun every day since Monday, and yesterday it rained. Perhaps my body was holding on to the water because of the heat? 744 calories left over in the tracker.
    Day 18: Fri, 6/26: 150.1 - Good. Still a slight chance at hitting the weekly goal weight, but that is 1/2 a pound which normally takes me 2 weeks to lose. We'll see tomorrow. 1531 calories left over
    Day 19: Sat, 6/27: 150.0 - I am happy with this, super ready to get into the 140s - and stay there, I have touched them twice. 1676 calories left over
    3rd Week Goal Weight: 149.6
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 150.0
    Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over: 7439 calories left over, which should equal 2+ pounds, but only in reality netted me a 0.6 pound loss. Very cruel, I am working very hard at this.

    Day 20: Sun, 6/28: - 149.3 - Tending not to believe this number, I mean, I like it, but I slept in today so got a lower number than I probably would have. Still great to touch this number for the first time! 875 calories left over.
    Day 21: Mon, 6/29: - 148.7 - New low! Maybe all of those excess calories burned are now showing up. Hoping that this is not just a fluctuation : - ) 1503 Calories left over
    Day 22: Tues, 6/30: - 148.1 - Last weeks excess calorie burn must be kicking in to this slow old metabolism! 714 calories left over

    Excess calories burned in June: 25,437, but this includes the entire month and we started this round on the 6th. 7.267 pounds mathematically that I should have lost for the entire month. (3500 calories equals a pound)
    The number not counting the 1st to the 5th is 21,658. 6.188 pounds mathematically I should have lost in 24 days.
    Weight Loss in June - 3.1 pounds - so much better than my usual 1 pound loss per month.

    Day 23: Wed, 7/1: 148.4 - 1053 calories left over
    Day 24: Thurs, 7/2: 149.4 - I didn't do anything to gain a pound in a day. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation. I never want to visit the 150s again, I was there for a long time.
    Day 25: Fri, 7/3: 149.2. I'll take it. Day off today, so lots of extra workouts here and there, healthy food. 1171 excess calories burned
    Day 26: Sat, 7/4: 149.1 - 332 excess calories burned
    4th Week Goal Weight: 148.3
    4th Week Actual Weight: 149.1
    Excess calories burned: 6634 - Should have amounted to an almost 2 pound loss, but somehow I gained.

    Day 27: Sun, 7/5: 149.1 - This could go up over the next few days, I partied yesterday. Hoping not and I will try to work out extra today. 1120 calories left over in the tracker - ate 1200
    Day 28: Mon, 7/6: 149.3 - Could have been worse from Saturday, mitigated it. Another one of my jobs has lifted lay-off, so my time for working out will not be as much soon, I will try to keep it up though. 1598 calories left over
    Day 29: Tues, 7/7: 149.1 - Major calorie burn yesterday, including lots of Zumba and yardwork, burned off more than I ate for the second day in a row. Hoping for a drop soon. 658 calories left over.
    Day 30: Wed, 7/8: 149.4 - High calorie burn days will be over for me now except for weekends now that I am back to work. 322 calories left over.
    Day 31: Thurs, 7/9: 148.4 - Very surprised at this, I worked extremely late and didn't get lunch/dinner until 10:30 at night. Sleeping in always gives me a good number. 785 calories left over
    Day 32: Fri, 7/10: 148.7 - I was so late in from work last night that I didn't finish lunch/dinner until 11:30!! Too late to be eating. Maybe it really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter what time of day that happens? I definitely get better results on the scale if I am 12 hours in between my last mouthful and weighing the next day. Working from home today instead of out in the field, so it should be better. 472 cal left over
    Day 33: Sat, 7/11: 148.8 138 calories left over
    5th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
    5th Week Actual Weight: 148.8 - Down 0.3 of a pound, had hoped for more, but better than gaining.
    5th Week Excess calories burned (Green in the tracker leftover) 4535 - so should have lost at least a pound

    Day 34: Sun, 7/12: Weighed at 4am instead of 9am, so will use my tomorrow weight as my week start weight. Ended at 148.8 for week 5. 886 calories left over.
    Day 35: Mon, 7/13: 149.1 That seems not right. 1,004 calories left over
    Day 36: Tues, 7/14: 148.7 - Weighing daily drives accountability, but there is also that fluctuation thing to deal with which can be a bit hurtful at times. I feel normalized today. 545 calories left over
    Day 37: Wed, 7/15: 148.4 - Still adjusting to going back to work, I don't eat or exercise like I was. 832 calories left over
    Day 38: Thurs, 7/16: 148.3 - Sloooowwww Took the day off of work, so less stressed and more time to work out. 1222 calories left over
    Day 39: Fri, 7/17: 148.3 - I had really expected a drop for this morning's weigh in, but nope. End of week weigh in tomorrow will keep me "good" I hope. 459 calories left over
    Day 40: Sat, 7/18: 148.1 - Somehow down 0.6lb. I ate "out" last night and I normally see at least a 2 pound gain when I do that. Hoping that it doesn't catch up with me. I was active, but also ate more than usual, so only 58 calories leftover.
    6th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
    6th Week Actual Weight: 148.1
    Excess calories burned: 5,006
    Day 41: Sun, 7/19: 148.5 - I ate and drank outside of my normal box this weekend including cheeseburger pizza (kept it to one slice), Wings, cocktails, chips...etc. Definitely grinding that to a halt immediately. Lucky to have only gained 0.4 of a pound. 919 calories left over
    Day 42: Mon, 7/20: 149.8 - There is the rest of the gain from the weekend. I cut right back starting yesterday, but the gain took a couple of days to show, and the loss won't happen overnight either. 281 calories left over
    Day 43: Tues, 7/21: 147.4 - Lowest ever! Very happy to see this number. 650 calories left over
    Day 44: Wed, 7/22: 147.0 - Happily surprised, almost didn't believe the low number, hoping that it is not a fluke. Tracking, measuring portions, working out...keeping it the same. 738 calories left over
    Day 45: Thurs, 7/23: 146.1 - So are all of those excess calories burned month after month just now catching up? I haven't changed anything at all. Maybe this heatwave is sweating the fat off of me. 30 calories left over
    Day 46: Fri, 7/24: 146.8 - This could go higher, I had my monthly Ribs feed last night. Kind of worth it, I will be more strict now. 667 calories left over
    Day 47: Sat, 7/25: 147.7 - So I looked at my pedometre and my weight was still entered as 178.1 so I wasn't burning as many calories walking as I had thought, although I don't walk often, especially in the heat. 321 calories left over
    7th Week Goal Weight: 147.1
    7th Week Actual Weight: 147.7
    Excess calories burned: 3606 excess calories left over, enough to burn 1 pound.

    Day 48: Sun, 7/26: Missed weighing. 369 excess calories left over
    Day 49: Mon, 7/27: 147.7. 395 calories left over
    Day 50: Tues, 7/28: 147.3 - This is exactly the half-way mark of our 100 - looks like I am down 3.9 pounds in 50 days. 968 calories left over.
    Day 51: Wed, 7/29: 145.6 - New low due to going back to bed for 2 hours early this morning. Nice number, I hope to see it again! 819 calories left over.
    Day 52: Thurs, 7/30: 144.5 - Almost unbelievable. Another case of going back to bed for 2 hours. Back in February I was ice skating every day and had 27,000 calories burned in excess, yet still only lost 1 pound instead of 7.71lbs. Maybe it is finally all kicking in with my old slow metabolism? Who knows. I will take it. The weekend will be a challenge, many bbqs and cocktails planned, so going into it with a bit of a buffer will be great. Feeling firmly into the 140s now, need to keep it there...until I can get into the 130s of course. 433 excess calories burned
    Day 53: Fri, 7/31: 145.0 - Long weekend here, it is going to be tough to keep on track 600 excess calories burned
    Day 54: Sat, 8/1: Missed the weigh-in. 204 excess calories burned
    8th Week Goal Weight: 146.7
    8th Week Actual Weight: ??
    Excess calories burned: 3788 - More than a pound worth

    Day 55: Sun, 8/2: Missed the weigh-in. 369 excess calories left over
    Day 56: Mon, 8/3: 147.7 - Ouch, need to get right on top of that! 927 excess calories left over
    Day 57: Tues, 8/4: 146.4 - So happy that there are still a good variety of local berries and cherries this time of year. It makes breakfasts healthier, quick, and low calorie. 508 calories left over in the tracker.
    Day 58: Wed, 8/5: 145.8 - These weeks are going by fast, the summer is going by fast! 312 calories left over.
    Day 59: Thurs, 8/6: 145.8 - Glad to not have gained, had a bit of an indulgent day, but I worked out lots. 777 calories left over.
    Day 60: Fri, 8/7: 147.1 - Ouch! Hoping that it is a glitch and that I end this "week" better than that. Input and Output were on point. 767 calories left over
    Day 61: Sat, 8/8: 145.8

    9th Week Goal Weight: 145.7 - This sounds aggressive because of my poor start to the week, but I hit 144.5 in last week, week 8
    9th Week Actual Weight: 145.8 - Close to goal
    Excess calories burned: - 4208 - more than 1 pound worth.

    Day 62: Sun, 8/9: 146.4 - Had a kind of cheat day, now it will take a few days to even that out. 897 calories left over
    Day 63: Mon, 8/10: 146.8 - Working hard to get this down. Weighed way too early in the morning today. 840 calories left over
    Day 64: Tues, 8/11: 146.4 - Staying diligent, would love to see a woosh to get me back to week 8s weight - and beyond.
    Day 65: Wed, 8/12:
    Day 66: Thurs, 8/13:
    Day 67: Fri, 8/14:

    I have been reading about eating for body type - ectomorph, endomorph, mesomorph. Interesting.

    We all have to approach it as individuals, that is why tracking is so imperative - we see what is working for us and what is not.
    We also have to take into account any health issues - for diabetics keeping blood sugar stable requires eating small amounts frequently and keeping carbs and fats low.
    For myself, I basically eat everything, but I have cut portions in half. I still believe in calories in calories out.

    Great @syreina for getting that much protein into you! Whenever I try that my fats skyrocket. Very glad that you are continuing to track and check-in, essential to not gaining it back.

    This is hard work! With commitment, and over time we can all succeed like @syreina has.

    I appreciate this very much! Yes, tracking will be a part of my daily life and with a lot more work, I know that I will be able to find that good formula to gain muscle.

    I couldn't agree more that check-in is essential to not gaining back. I'm trying not to be hard on myself with a 1 or 2lb gain since maintenance is new for me. Also, super excited for our new elliptical! We received it yesterday after waiting since June for it to ship - nothing fancy but I was on it for 3 minutes and I'm a little tired afterwards, lol!

    We just have to keep it up!

    Day 21 – 06 /29 ….208.8
    Day 22 – 06/30 …..207.9

    Weight Loss in June……………….. 3.1 lbs
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..3.1 lbs.


    Day 23 – 07/01 …..207.9…..
    Day 24 – 07/02 …..208.0….. A normal fluctuation because yesterday was a pretty good day although I could still tighten my belt some if I had a minute.
    Day 25 – 07 /03 …..207.9…..No time, even for a quick chat. I seriously need to plan & log because I am burning calories but likely eating too many too. And those carbs……
    Day 26 – 07/04 …..207.9…..
    Day 27 – 07/05 …..207.8….I suppose I should be grateful : /
    Day 28 – 07/06 …..207.5….. Some things went right, some things went wrong during this holiday weekend, but when the good outweighs the bad it’s a bit of progress. I hope to have things slow down a tiny bit this week and be able to focus more on logging and food prep. Only I can make the changes that need to be made and do so Consistently. Everyone is doing fantastic. Let’s keep up the good fight!
    Day 29 – 07/07 …..208.6….. One small cheeseburger and BAM!!! I think it’s salt and water retention. Let us hope……
    Day 30 – 07/08…..208.4….. Hopefully losing this water retention but I am not peeing very much (sorry for TMI) so I have to wonder….. Of course, there is all the sweat from the heat and no AC. Anyway, just happy for a small drop on the scale. @dawnbgethealthy I hope things are going well with your job and being back to work. My best to you…..
    Day 31 – 07/09 …..208.4….. Status Quo
    Day 32 – 07 /10 …..209.0….. Feeling inspired today by you all. I will make today a good day, one day at a time!
    Day 33 – 07/11 …..209.8….. I did everything right and the scale just ignored that fact. It’s okay……I don’t give up that easily!
    Day 34 – 07/12 …..209.6…..Not exactly happy but at least its back in the right direction.
    Day 35 – 07/13 …..209.6…..
    Day 36 – 07/14 …..209.6…..Much ado about nothing!
    Day 37 – 07/15 …..209.6….. Wow, really on the hamster wheel here.
    Day 38 – 07 /16 …..210.1….. Going thru some life-altering things right now. Most of it surprising and unexpected on so many levels. I am not able to follow thru on everything I wanted to accomplish. The rest of this year will prove to be challenging in my time and efforts but I will hang in here, be inspired, and do what I can whenever I can. I know it won’t be 100%, there is honestly nothing I can do about that right now. But I will give it every percent I can, when I can. Thanks for your patience folks. You are all my greatest of inspirations. #notgivingup
    Day 39 – 07 /17 …..210.0…..Dizzy with stress all day. I don’t mean the normal stresses we all must endure on the daily. This is the bad stuff but I am coping. Diet was off today pretty bad but I actually got in more deliberate movement. Changing what I can when I can, that is the best any of us can hope for. Tonight I am going to go for some “me” time.
    Day 40 – 07/18 …..210.0…..


    Day 41 – 07 /19…..210.1…..
    Day 42 – 07/20 …..210.0….. Flipping & Flopping. Not overeating but eating the “wrong things” for sure. Fair calories but higher carbs.
    Day 43 – 07/21 …..210.0….. You guys are all slaying it. Hopefully my turn soon. Just gotta make the changes consistently and not let so much get in the way!
    Day 44 – 07/22 …..210.1….. like a teeter-totter
    Day 45 – 07/23 …..210.0…..
    Day 46 – 07/24 …..210.0…..
    Day 47 – 07/25 …..210.0…..
    Day 48 – 07/26 …..210.0…..Holding my own, I suppose. While I can’t exactly focus or fully commit during this time, I realize that even small changes can help. I’ve been doing that when possible and I am happy there is no gain.
    Day 49 – 07/27 …..210.2….. likely a fluctuation or a bit of water retention. Diet was average yesterday. No reason for a gain.
    Day 50 – 07 /28 …..209.8….. I am pretty sure they are going to put my loving cat to sleep today. I am a wreck. Weight drop on the scale because I can’t eat right now. Vet appointment at 3:00 .
    Day 51 – 07/29 …..208.1….. She was put down at 3:30. Obviously couldn’t eat yesterday. They say time heals all wounds and I know it will get better. I’ve been down this road before. Right now, however, it feels like it will never get any easier.
    Day 52 – 07/30…..209.2….. Thanks ladies for you comforting words. I am going to try to focus more on my quality of eating in the coming days. My quantities are okay, it’s the choices I am making. Goal: To get back on track asap although there is still so much going on in my life that I cannot control right now. The coming months will continue to be dreadful but I will do what I can, when I can. Every choices counts.
    Day 53 – 07 /31 …..209.4….. I think this is a correction. OMAD today. I will have a small snack tonight. I was pretty upset all day thinking about my Reeces. As time passes, I know it will get easier. In the meantime, more water and better choices are what is on the menu!

    Weight Loss in July……………….. 1.5 lb GAIN
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb Loss



    Day 54 – 08/01 …..209.4…..
    Day 55 – 08/02…..209.9….. Chocolate.
    Day 56 – 08/03 …..209.8….. Much deserved bloating and tummy aches. I hope it will resolve itself today.
    Day 57 – 08/04 …..209.8…..
    Day 58 – 08/05 …..209.8….. Hovering…..
    Day 59 – 08/06…..209.8…..
    Day 60 – 08/07 …..209.6……Finally a small bit of improvement!
    Day 61 – 08/08 .….209.8……Thai food with rice. Hopefully this small increase is sodium related and temporary.
    Day 62 – 08/09 …..209.8……
    Day 63 – 08/10 …..209.5…… Love this drop on the scale this morning! I wish I could say I was 100% back on track but it would be a lie. I did burn many many calories yesterday with my normal Sunday work cleaning tourist cabins and had little time to eat so the calories were down. But my nighttime efforts of avoiding the junk food or bad quick foods paid off. It would be nice if I could pick up the ball and run with it today. I will try but today is scheduled to be stressful day #1 of many more stressful days to come. Some of the things I’m going thru and really starting to progress and take hold. Focus….Focus….Focus……

    This will be my 3rd round.
    I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
    My name is Dawn. 59 year old female. I was 5'3" but think that I am 5'2" now. Broca Index says that I should be 112.8 pounds.
    I live in South East British Columbia Canada
    MFP start date October 29.18 - SW 191
    This round start weight: 151.2 - June 09.20
    Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

    My previous 2 rounds:
    My first round of this was #3, the one starting November 22 ending February 29 - Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7 pounds
    This last one, #4:
    Day 1 March 01 - 154.4
    Day 100 June 08 - 151.7
    Total: 2.7 pounds lost in 100 days. Argh, all of that hard work for such a piddly result.
    200 days = 6.4 - So hopefully at least 10 pounds per year. This will take forever!!
    I like to see a monthly total usually, but will try this weekly idea. More accountability : - )
    I am going to keep track of my leftover calories this time, based on 1200 calories consumed per day.

    Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

    Day 1: Tues, 6/9 - 151.2 - 607 calories leftover in the tracker (Green)
    Day 2: Wed, 6/10 - 149.9 - Yippee Yahoo to touch the 140s, even if only slightly. - 1278 leftover in the tracker (Green)
    Day 3: Thurs, 6/11 - 150.1 - 14 calories leftover in the tracker
    Day 4: Fri, 6/12 - 153.4 - Had a cheat meal (Asian Sesame Ribs) last night and it was delicious. I try to have Ribs only once per month or less because of the weight gain. I must have drank 2 litres of water or more afterwards because they were salty, that adds to the high weight this morning. I don't expect my weight to be so high tomorrow, I will keep my calories low today. 910 calories left over
    Day 5: Sat, 6/13: 153.2 - Well, it comes off much slower than it goes on as we know! In the green always even if small, but to lose I need at least 500 calories per day in the green. 104 Calories left over

    1st Week Goal Weight: 150.2
    1st Week Actual Weight: 153.2 - Gain of 2 pounds in 5 days. Hoping for a woosh to start the next one.
    Excess calories burned: 2913 - Not enough to burn a pound, but still more than enough to not gain 2 pounds!


    Day 6: Sun, 6/14 - 152.9 - This was my first full workout in a few days since I dropped a piece of concrete on my toes. 776 leftover in the tracker (Green).
    Day 7: Mon, 6/15 - 150.9 - Good, now to get back to that 149.9. 846 excess calories left over.
    Day 8: Tues, 6/16 - 151.0 - Below day 1 slightly, so that is good, but really working for some progress this week. 1354 left over in the tracker.
    Day 9: Wed, 6/17: - 150.2 - Burned lots of calories yesterday, struggled to get enough calories in for a change. Jello and cookies was my silly solution. 800 calories left over
    Day 10: Thurs, 6/18 - 150.2 - Hope to see a small drop tomorrow morning. 773 left over in the tracker (green)
    Day 11: Fri, 6/19: - 150.3 - Hmm, small gain, not sure why. Going to try to delay my cheat day (Rib Eye) since there is only one more weigh in for this week. It is in the freezer, I will have it another day. 176 calories left over
    Day 12: Sat, 6/20: - 150.6 - I had a Samosa and a Chimichanga last night. 571 left over in the tracker

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 149.9 - I know that this sounds ambitious, but my average (even with the high days) was 151.5
    2ndWeek Actual Weight: 150.6 - 0.8 down from Day 1 (12 days)
    Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over - 5296 calories

    Day 13: Sun, 6/21: - 150.6 - Missed the weigh in today, going with yesterday's weight. 1045 cal left over in the tracker
    Day 14: Mon, 6/22: - 152.0 - Ouch. Makes no sense. 926 cal left over in the tracker.
    Day 15: Tues, 6/23: 151.6 - Super frustrated. I work so hard at this! 608 calories left in the tracker
    Day 16: Wed, 6/24: - 151.6 - I don't get it, right on point. Still above day 1!! 909 calories left over in the tracker (green)
    Day 17: Thurs, 6/25: 150.7 - Peed like 40 times yesterday, guessing that it was trapped water? I had been working out in the hot sun every day since Monday, and yesterday it rained. Perhaps my body was holding on to the water because of the heat? 744 calories left over in the tracker.
    Day 18: Fri, 6/26: 150.1 - Good. Still a slight chance at hitting the weekly goal weight, but that is 1/2 a pound which normally takes me 2 weeks to lose. We'll see tomorrow. 1531 calories left over
    Day 19: Sat, 6/27: 150.0 - I am happy with this, super ready to get into the 140s - and stay there, I have touched them twice. 1676 calories left over
    3rd Week Goal Weight: 149.6
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 150.0
    Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over: 7439 calories left over, which should equal 2+ pounds, but only in reality netted me a 0.6 pound loss. Very cruel, I am working very hard at this.

    Day 20: Sun, 6/28: - 149.3 - Tending not to believe this number, I mean, I like it, but I slept in today so got a lower number than I probably would have. Still great to touch this number for the first time! 875 calories left over.
    Day 21: Mon, 6/29: - 148.7 - New low! Maybe all of those excess calories burned are now showing up. Hoping that this is not just a fluctuation : - ) 1503 Calories left over
    Day 22: Tues, 6/30: - 148.1 - Last weeks excess calorie burn must be kicking in to this slow old metabolism! 714 calories left over

    Excess calories burned in June: 25,437, but this includes the entire month and we started this round on the 6th. 7.267 pounds mathematically that I should have lost for the entire month. (3500 calories equals a pound)
    The number not counting the 1st to the 5th is 21,658. 6.188 pounds mathematically I should have lost in 24 days.
    Weight Loss in June - 3.1 pounds - so much better than my usual 1 pound loss per month.

    Day 23: Wed, 7/1: 148.4 - 1053 calories left over
    Day 24: Thurs, 7/2: 149.4 - I didn't do anything to gain a pound in a day. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation. I never want to visit the 150s again, I was there for a long time.
    Day 25: Fri, 7/3: 149.2. I'll take it. Day off today, so lots of extra workouts here and there, healthy food. 1171 excess calories burned
    Day 26: Sat, 7/4: 149.1 - 332 excess calories burned
    4th Week Goal Weight: 148.3
    4th Week Actual Weight: 149.1
    Excess calories burned: 6634 - Should have amounted to an almost 2 pound loss, but somehow I gained.

    Day 27: Sun, 7/5: 149.1 - This could go up over the next few days, I partied yesterday. Hoping not and I will try to work out extra today. 1120 calories left over in the tracker - ate 1200
    Day 28: Mon, 7/6: 149.3 - Could have been worse from Saturday, mitigated it. Another one of my jobs has lifted lay-off, so my time for working out will not be as much soon, I will try to keep it up though. 1598 calories left over
    Day 29: Tues, 7/7: 149.1 - Major calorie burn yesterday, including lots of Zumba and yardwork, burned off more than I ate for the second day in a row. Hoping for a drop soon. 658 calories left over.
    Day 30: Wed, 7/8: 149.4 - High calorie burn days will be over for me now except for weekends now that I am back to work. 322 calories left over.
    Day 31: Thurs, 7/9: 148.4 - Very surprised at this, I worked extremely late and didn't get lunch/dinner until 10:30 at night. Sleeping in always gives me a good number. 785 calories left over
    Day 32: Fri, 7/10: 148.7 - I was so late in from work last night that I didn't finish lunch/dinner until 11:30!! Too late to be eating. Maybe it really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter what time of day that happens? I definitely get better results on the scale if I am 12 hours in between my last mouthful and weighing the next day. Working from home today instead of out in the field, so it should be better. 472 cal left over
    Day 33: Sat, 7/11: 148.8 138 calories left over
    5th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
    5th Week Actual Weight: 148.8 - Down 0.3 of a pound, had hoped for more, but better than gaining.
    5th Week Excess calories burned (Green in the tracker leftover) 4535 - so should have lost at least a pound

    Day 34: Sun, 7/12: Weighed at 4am instead of 9am, so will use my tomorrow weight as my week start weight. Ended at 148.8 for week 5. 886 calories left over.
    Day 35: Mon, 7/13: 149.1 That seems not right. 1,004 calories left over
    Day 36: Tues, 7/14: 148.7 - Weighing daily drives accountability, but there is also that fluctuation thing to deal with which can be a bit hurtful at times. I feel normalized today. 545 calories left over
    Day 37: Wed, 7/15: 148.4 - Still adjusting to going back to work, I don't eat or exercise like I was. 832 calories left over
    Day 38: Thurs, 7/16: 148.3 - Sloooowwww Took the day off of work, so less stressed and more time to work out. 1222 calories left over
    Day 39: Fri, 7/17: 148.3 - I had really expected a drop for this morning's weigh in, but nope. End of week weigh in tomorrow will keep me "good" I hope. 459 calories left over
    Day 40: Sat, 7/18: 148.1 - Somehow down 0.6lb. I ate "out" last night and I normally see at least a 2 pound gain when I do that. Hoping that it doesn't catch up with me. I was active, but also ate more than usual, so only 58 calories leftover.
    6th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
    6th Week Actual Weight: 148.1
    Excess calories burned: 5,006
    Day 41: Sun, 7/19: 148.5 - I ate and drank outside of my normal box this weekend including cheeseburger pizza (kept it to one slice), Wings, cocktails, chips...etc. Definitely grinding that to a halt immediately. Lucky to have only gained 0.4 of a pound. 919 calories left over
    Day 42: Mon, 7/20: 149.8 - There is the rest of the gain from the weekend. I cut right back starting yesterday, but the gain took a couple of days to show, and the loss won't happen overnight either. 281 calories left over
    Day 43: Tues, 7/21: 147.4 - Lowest ever! Very happy to see this number. 650 calories left over
    Day 44: Wed, 7/22: 147.0 - Happily surprised, almost didn't believe the low number, hoping that it is not a fluke. Tracking, measuring portions, working out...keeping it the same. 738 calories left over
    Day 45: Thurs, 7/23: 146.1 - So are all of those excess calories burned month after month just now catching up? I haven't changed anything at all. Maybe this heatwave is sweating the fat off of me. 30 calories left over
    Day 46: Fri, 7/24: 146.8 - This could go higher, I had my monthly Ribs feed last night. Kind of worth it, I will be more strict now. 667 calories left over
    Day 47: Sat, 7/25: 147.7 - So I looked at my pedometre and my weight was still entered as 178.1 so I wasn't burning as many calories walking as I had thought, although I don't walk often, especially in the heat. 321 calories left over
    7th Week Goal Weight: 147.1
    7th Week Actual Weight: 147.7
    Excess calories burned: 3606 excess calories left over, enough to burn 1 pound.

    Day 48: Sun, 7/26: Missed weighing. 369 excess calories left over
    Day 49: Mon, 7/27: 147.7. 395 calories left over
    Day 50: Tues, 7/28: 147.3 - This is exactly the half-way mark of our 100 - looks like I am down 3.9 pounds in 50 days. 968 calories left over.
    Day 51: Wed, 7/29: 145.6 - New low due to going back to bed for 2 hours early this morning. Nice number, I hope to see it again! 819 calories left over.
    Day 52: Thurs, 7/30: 144.5 - Almost unbelievable. Another case of going back to bed for 2 hours. Back in February I was ice skating every day and had 27,000 calories burned in excess, yet still only lost 1 pound instead of 7.71lbs. Maybe it is finally all kicking in with my old slow metabolism? Who knows. I will take it. The weekend will be a challenge, many bbqs and cocktails planned, so going into it with a bit of a buffer will be great. Feeling firmly into the 140s now, need to keep it there...until I can get into the 130s of course. 433 excess calories burned
    Day 53: Fri, 7/31: 145.0 - Long weekend here, it is going to be tough to keep on track 600 excess calories burned
    Day 54: Sat, 8/1: Missed the weigh-in. 204 excess calories burned
    8th Week Goal Weight: 146.7
    8th Week Actual Weight: ??
    Excess calories burned: 3788 - More than a pound worth

    Day 55: Sun, 8/2: Missed the weigh-in. 369 excess calories left over
    Day 56: Mon, 8/3: 147.7 - Ouch, need to get right on top of that! 927 excess calories left over
    Day 57: Tues, 8/4: 146.4 - So happy that there are still a good variety of local berries and cherries this time of year. It makes breakfasts healthier, quick, and low calorie. 508 calories left over in the tracker.

Primarily working from home today and will be doing a very long day in the field tomorrow. 3 days until our weigh-in for this week. I am trying really hard lol.

    Right now to shed weight I am picking high calorie burn stuff. It is all fun and all from Youtube. When I get to my idea weight I plan to do more Pilates and stuff like that. 30 pounds away though still.

    I don't know what my body fat is right now @syreina I haven't calculated it recently and haven't received the caliper in the mail yet. When I was 40 pounds heavier my body fat was 29% (more muscle to hold up all of the extra weight?) and then began to go up as I lost weight weirdly enough. I think that the last time that I checked it was 34%. Maybe I will go and do the calculation and edit this.

    I calculated it with measurements when I was 2 pounds heavier but using today's weight. Doesn't look good!

    My waist got bigger with age, hips slimmed down considerably. I want my body fat to become in the "fitness" range, so a long way to go, but something to work towards.

    I likely have lots and lots of muscle underneath the fat : - )

    This will be my 3rd round.
    I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
    My name is Dawn. 59 year old female. I was 5'3" but think that I am 5'2" now. Broca Index says that I should be 112.8 pounds.
    I live in South East British Columbia Canada
    MFP start date October 29.18 - SW 191
    This round start weight: 151.2 - June 09.20
    Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

    My previous 2 rounds:
    My first round of this was #3, the one starting November 22 ending February 29 - Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7 pounds
    This last one, #4:
    Day 1 March 01 - 154.4
    Day 100 June 08 - 151.7
    Total: 2.7 pounds lost in 100 days. Argh, all of that hard work for such a piddly result.
    200 days = 6.4 - So hopefully at least 10 pounds per year. This will take forever!!
    I like to see a monthly total usually, but will try this weekly idea. More accountability : - )
    I am going to keep track of my leftover calories this time, based on 1200 calories consumed per day.

    Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

    Day 1: Tues, 6/9 - 151.2 - 607 calories leftover in the tracker (Green)
    Day 2: Wed, 6/10 - 149.9 - Yippee Yahoo to touch the 140s, even if only slightly. - 1278 leftover in the tracker (Green)
    Day 3: Thurs, 6/11 - 150.1 - 14 calories leftover in the tracker
    Day 4: Fri, 6/12 - 153.4 - Had a cheat meal (Asian Sesame Ribs) last night and it was delicious. I try to have Ribs only once per month or less because of the weight gain. I must have drank 2 litres of water or more afterwards because they were salty, that adds to the high weight this morning. I don't expect my weight to be so high tomorrow, I will keep my calories low today. 910 calories left over
    Day 5: Sat, 6/13: 153.2 - Well, it comes off much slower than it goes on as we know! In the green always even if small, but to lose I need at least 500 calories per day in the green. 104 Calories left over

    1st Week Goal Weight: 150.2
    1st Week Actual Weight: 153.2 - Gain of 2 pounds in 5 days. Hoping for a woosh to start the next one.
    Excess calories burned: 2913 - Not enough to burn a pound, but still more than enough to not gain 2 pounds!


    Day 6: Sun, 6/14 - 152.9 - This was my first full workout in a few days since I dropped a piece of concrete on my toes. 776 leftover in the tracker (Green).
    Day 7: Mon, 6/15 - 150.9 - Good, now to get back to that 149.9. 846 excess calories left over.
    Day 8: Tues, 6/16 - 151.0 - Below day 1 slightly, so that is good, but really working for some progress this week. 1354 left over in the tracker.
    Day 9: Wed, 6/17: - 150.2 - Burned lots of calories yesterday, struggled to get enough calories in for a change. Jello and cookies was my silly solution. 800 calories left over
    Day 10: Thurs, 6/18 - 150.2 - Hope to see a small drop tomorrow morning. 773 left over in the tracker (green)
    Day 11: Fri, 6/19: - 150.3 - Hmm, small gain, not sure why. Going to try to delay my cheat day (Rib Eye) since there is only one more weigh in for this week. It is in the freezer, I will have it another day. 176 calories left over
    Day 12: Sat, 6/20: - 150.6 - I had a Samosa and a Chimichanga last night. 571 left over in the tracker

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 149.9 - I know that this sounds ambitious, but my average (even with the high days) was 151.5
    2ndWeek Actual Weight: 150.6 - 0.8 down from Day 1 (12 days)
    Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over - 5296 calories

    Day 13: Sun, 6/21: - 150.6 - Missed the weigh in today, going with yesterday's weight. 1045 cal left over in the tracker
    Day 14: Mon, 6/22: - 152.0 - Ouch. Makes no sense. 926 cal left over in the tracker.
    Day 15: Tues, 6/23: 151.6 - Super frustrated. I work so hard at this! 608 calories left in the tracker
    Day 16: Wed, 6/24: - 151.6 - I don't get it, right on point. Still above day 1!! 909 calories left over in the tracker (green)
    Day 17: Thurs, 6/25: 150.7 - Peed like 40 times yesterday, guessing that it was trapped water? I had been working out in the hot sun every day since Monday, and yesterday it rained. Perhaps my body was holding on to the water because of the heat? 744 calories left over in the tracker.
    Day 18: Fri, 6/26: 150.1 - Good. Still a slight chance at hitting the weekly goal weight, but that is 1/2 a pound which normally takes me 2 weeks to lose. We'll see tomorrow. 1531 calories left over
    Day 19: Sat, 6/27: 150.0 - I am happy with this, super ready to get into the 140s - and stay there, I have touched them twice. 1676 calories left over
    3rd Week Goal Weight: 149.6
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 150.0
    Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over: 7439 calories left over, which should equal 2+ pounds, but only in reality netted me a 0.6 pound loss. Very cruel, I am working very hard at this.

    Day 20: Sun, 6/28: - 149.3 - Tending not to believe this number, I mean, I like it, but I slept in today so got a lower number than I probably would have. Still great to touch this number for the first time! 875 calories left over.
    Day 21: Mon, 6/29: - 148.7 - New low! Maybe all of those excess calories burned are now showing up. Hoping that this is not just a fluctuation : - ) 1503 Calories left over
    Day 22: Tues, 6/30: - 148.1 - Last weeks excess calorie burn must be kicking in to this slow old metabolism! 714 calories left over

    Excess calories burned in June: 25,437, but this includes the entire month and we started this round on the 6th. 7.267 pounds mathematically that I should have lost for the entire month. (3500 calories equals a pound)
    The number not counting the 1st to the 5th is 21,658. 6.188 pounds mathematically I should have lost in 24 days.
    Weight Loss in June - 3.1 pounds - so much better than my usual 1 pound loss per month.

    Day 23: Wed, 7/1: 148.4 - 1053 calories left over
    Day 24: Thurs, 7/2: 149.4 - I didn't do anything to gain a pound in a day. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation. I never want to visit the 150s again, I was there for a long time.
    Day 25: Fri, 7/3: 149.2. I'll take it. Day off today, so lots of extra workouts here and there, healthy food. 1171 excess calories burned
    Day 26: Sat, 7/4: 149.1 - 332 excess calories burned
    4th Week Goal Weight: 148.3
    4th Week Actual Weight: 149.1
    Excess calories burned: 6634 - Should have amounted to an almost 2 pound loss, but somehow I gained.

    Day 27: Sun, 7/5: 149.1 - This could go up over the next few days, I partied yesterday. Hoping not and I will try to work out extra today. 1120 calories left over in the tracker - ate 1200
    Day 28: Mon, 7/6: 149.3 - Could have been worse from Saturday, mitigated it. Another one of my jobs has lifted lay-off, so my time for working out will not be as much soon, I will try to keep it up though. 1598 calories left over
    Day 29: Tues, 7/7: 149.1 - Major calorie burn yesterday, including lots of Zumba and yardwork, burned off more than I ate for the second day in a row. Hoping for a drop soon. 658 calories left over.
    Day 30: Wed, 7/8: 149.4 - High calorie burn days will be over for me now except for weekends now that I am back to work. 322 calories left over.
    Day 31: Thurs, 7/9: 148.4 - Very surprised at this, I worked extremely late and didn't get lunch/dinner until 10:30 at night. Sleeping in always gives me a good number. 785 calories left over
    Day 32: Fri, 7/10: 148.7 - I was so late in from work last night that I didn't finish lunch/dinner until 11:30!! Too late to be eating. Maybe it really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter what time of day that happens? I definitely get better results on the scale if I am 12 hours in between my last mouthful and weighing the next day. Working from home today instead of out in the field, so it should be better. 472 cal left over
    Day 33: Sat, 7/11: 148.8 138 calories left over
    5th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
    5th Week Actual Weight: 148.8 - Down 0.3 of a pound, had hoped for more, but better than gaining.
    5th Week Excess calories burned (Green in the tracker leftover) 4535 - so should have lost at least a pound

    Day 34: Sun, 7/12: Weighed at 4am instead of 9am, so will use my tomorrow weight as my week start weight. Ended at 148.8 for week 5. 886 calories left over.
    Day 35: Mon, 7/13: 149.1 That seems not right. 1,004 calories left over
    Day 36: Tues, 7/14: 148.7 - Weighing daily drives accountability, but there is also that fluctuation thing to deal with which can be a bit hurtful at times. I feel normalized today. 545 calories left over
    Day 37: Wed, 7/15: 148.4 - Still adjusting to going back to work, I don't eat or exercise like I was. 832 calories left over
    Day 38: Thurs, 7/16: 148.3 - Sloooowwww Took the day off of work, so less stressed and more time to work out. 1222 calories left over
    Day 39: Fri, 7/17: 148.3 - I had really expected a drop for this morning's weigh in, but nope. End of week weigh in tomorrow will keep me "good" I hope. 459 calories left over
    Day 40: Sat, 7/18: 148.1 - Somehow down 0.6lb. I ate "out" last night and I normally see at least a 2 pound gain when I do that. Hoping that it doesn't catch up with me. I was active, but also ate more than usual, so only 58 calories leftover.
    6th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
    6th Week Actual Weight: 148.1
    Excess calories burned: 5,006
    Day 41: Sun, 7/19: 148.5 - I ate and drank outside of my normal box this weekend including cheeseburger pizza (kept it to one slice), Wings, cocktails, chips...etc. Definitely grinding that to a halt immediately. Lucky to have only gained 0.4 of a pound. 919 calories left over
    Day 42: Mon, 7/20: 149.8 - There is the rest of the gain from the weekend. I cut right back starting yesterday, but the gain took a couple of days to show, and the loss won't happen overnight either. 281 calories left over
    Day 43: Tues, 7/21: 147.4 - Lowest ever! Very happy to see this number. 650 calories left over
    Day 44: Wed, 7/22: 147.0 - Happily surprised, almost didn't believe the low number, hoping that it is not a fluke. Tracking, measuring portions, working out...keeping it the same. 738 calories left over
    Day 45: Thurs, 7/23: 146.1 - So are all of those excess calories burned month after month just now catching up? I haven't changed anything at all. Maybe this heatwave is sweating the fat off of me. 30 calories left over
    Day 46: Fri, 7/24: 146.8 - This could go higher, I had my monthly Ribs feed last night. Kind of worth it, I will be more strict now. 667 calories left over
    Day 47: Sat, 7/25: 147.7 - So I looked at my pedometre and my weight was still entered as 178.1 so I wasn't burning as many calories walking as I had thought, although I don't walk often, especially in the heat. 321 calories left over
    7th Week Goal Weight: 147.1
    7th Week Actual Weight: 147.7
    Excess calories burned: 3606 excess calories left over, enough to burn 1 pound.

    Day 48: Sun, 7/26: Missed weighing. 369 excess calories left over
    Day 49: Mon, 7/27: 147.7. 395 calories left over
    Day 50: Tues, 7/28: 147.3 - This is exactly the half-way mark of our 100 - looks like I am down 3.9 pounds in 50 days. 968 calories left over.
    Day 51: Wed, 7/29: 145.6 - New low due to going back to bed for 2 hours early this morning. Nice number, I hope to see it again! 819 calories left over.
    Day 52: Thurs, 7/30: 144.5 - Almost unbelievable. Another case of going back to bed for 2 hours. Back in February I was ice skating every day and had 27,000 calories burned in excess, yet still only lost 1 pound instead of 7.71lbs. Maybe it is finally all kicking in with my old slow metabolism? Who knows. I will take it. The weekend will be a challenge, many bbqs and cocktails planned, so going into it with a bit of a buffer will be great. Feeling firmly into the 140s now, need to keep it there...until I can get into the 130s of course. 433 excess calories burned
    Day 53: Fri, 7/31: 145.0 - Long weekend here, it is going to be tough to keep on track 600 excess calories burned
    Day 54: Sat, 8/1: Missed the weigh-in. 204 excess calories burned
    8th Week Goal Weight: 146.7
    8th Week Actual Weight: ??
    Excess calories burned: 3788 - More than a pound worth

    Day 55: Sun, 8/2: Missed the weigh-in. 369 excess calories left over
    Day 56: Mon, 8/3: 147.7 - Ouch, need to get right on top of that! 927 excess calories left over
    Day 57: Tues, 8/4: 146.4 - So happy that there are still a good variety of local berries and cherries this time of year. It makes breakfasts healthier, quick, and low calorie. 508 calories left over in the tracker.
    Day 58: Wed, 8/5: 145.8 - These weeks are going by fast, the summer is going by fast! 312 calories left over.
    Day 59: Thurs, 8/6: 145.8 - Glad to not have gained, had a bit of an indulgent day, but I worked out lots. 777 calories left over.
    Day 60: Fri, 8/7: 147.1 - Ouch! Hoping that it is a glitch and that I end this "week" better than that. Input and Output were on point. 767 calories left over
    Day 61: Sat, 8/8: 145.8
    9th Week Goal Weight: 145.7 - This sounds aggressive because of my poor start to the week, but I hit 144.5 in last week, week 8
    9th Week Actual Weight: 145.8 - Close to goal
    Excess calories burned: - 4208 - more than 1 pound worth.

    Day 62: Sun, 8/9: 146.4 - Had a kind of cheat day, now it will take a few days to even that out. 897 calories left over
    Day 63: Mon, 8/10: 146.8 - Working hard to get this down. Weighed way too early in the morning today. 840 calories left over
    Day 64: Tues, 8/11: 146.4 - Staying diligent, would love to see a woosh to get me back to week 8s weight - and beyond. 1050 calories left over.
    Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 145.6 - Burned almost as much as I ate yesterday! Full workout planned for today, 25 minutes of Zumba (Hip Hop Fitness Marshall) to loosen up and stretch the whole body, then 35 minutes of HIIT with weights (Heather Robinson I think). 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off. Primarily working from home today and will be doing a very long day in the field tomorrow. 3 days until our weigh-in for this week. I am trying really hard lol.

    My youngest daughter is in town today through Sunday and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it, since I don't get to see her often. Even though I probably won't eat the greatest, I still plan on working out and I'm hoping to take advantage of some outdoor adventures as well. To me, this is more precious!

    Day 22 – 06/30 …..207.9

    Weight Loss in June……………….. 3.1 lbs
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..3.1 lbs.


    Day 23 – 07/01 …..207.9…..
    Day 24 – 07/02 …..208.0….. A normal fluctuation because yesterday was a pretty good day although I could still tighten my belt some if I had a minute.
    Day 25 – 07 /03 …..207.9…..No time, even for a quick chat. I seriously need to plan & log because I am burning calories but likely eating too many too. And those carbs……
    Day 26 – 07/04 …..207.9…..
    Day 27 – 07/05 …..207.8….I suppose I should be grateful : /
    Day 28 – 07/06 …..207.5….. Some things went right, some things went wrong during this holiday weekend, but when the good outweighs the bad it’s a bit of progress. I hope to have things slow down a tiny bit this week and be able to focus more on logging and food prep. Only I can make the changes that need to be made and do so Consistently. Everyone is doing fantastic. Let’s keep up the good fight!
    Day 29 – 07/07 …..208.6….. One small cheeseburger and BAM!!! I think it’s salt and water retention. Let us hope……
    Day 30 – 07/08…..208.4….. Hopefully losing this water retention but I am not peeing very much (sorry for TMI) so I have to wonder….. Of course, there is all the sweat from the heat and no AC. Anyway, just happy for a small drop on the scale. @dawnbgethealthy I hope things are going well with your job and being back to work. My best to you…..
    Day 31 – 07/09 …..208.4….. Status Quo
    Day 32 – 07 /10 …..209.0….. Feeling inspired today by you all. I will make today a good day, one day at a time!
    Day 33 – 07/11 …..209.8….. I did everything right and the scale just ignored that fact. It’s okay……I don’t give up that easily!
    Day 34 – 07/12 …..209.6…..Not exactly happy but at least its back in the right direction.
    Day 35 – 07/13 …..209.6…..
    Day 36 – 07/14 …..209.6…..Much ado about nothing!
    Day 37 – 07/15 …..209.6….. Wow, really on the hamster wheel here.
    Day 38 – 07 /16 …..210.1….. Going thru some life-altering things right now. Most of it surprising and unexpected on so many levels. I am not able to follow thru on everything I wanted to accomplish. The rest of this year will prove to be challenging in my time and efforts but I will hang in here, be inspired, and do what I can whenever I can. I know it won’t be 100%, there is honestly nothing I can do about that right now. But I will give it every percent I can, when I can. Thanks for your patience folks. You are all my greatest of inspirations. #notgivingup
    Day 39 – 07 /17 …..210.0…..Dizzy with stress all day. I don’t mean the normal stresses we all must endure on the daily. This is the bad stuff but I am coping. Diet was off today pretty bad but I actually got in more deliberate movement. Changing what I can when I can, that is the best any of us can hope for. Tonight I am going to go for some “me” time.
    Day 40 – 07/18 …..210.0…..


    Day 41 – 07 /19…..210.1…..
    Day 42 – 07/20 …..210.0….. Flipping & Flopping. Not overeating but eating the “wrong things” for sure. Fair calories but higher carbs.
    Day 43 – 07/21 …..210.0….. You guys are all slaying it. Hopefully my turn soon. Just gotta make the changes consistently and not let so much get in the way!
    Day 44 – 07/22 …..210.1….. like a teeter-totter
    Day 45 – 07/23 …..210.0…..
    Day 46 – 07/24 …..210.0…..
    Day 47 – 07/25 …..210.0…..
    Day 48 – 07/26 …..210.0…..Holding my own, I suppose. While I can’t exactly focus or fully commit during this time, I realize that even small changes can help. I’ve been doing that when possible and I am happy there is no gain.
    Day 49 – 07/27 …..210.2….. likely a fluctuation or a bit of water retention. Diet was average yesterday. No reason for a gain.
    Day 50 – 07 /28 …..209.8….. I am pretty sure they are going to put my loving cat to sleep today. I am a wreck. Weight drop on the scale because I can’t eat right now. Vet appointment at 3:00 .
    Day 51 – 07/29 …..208.1….. She was put down at 3:30. Obviously couldn’t eat yesterday. They say time heals all wounds and I know it will get better. I’ve been down this road before. Right now, however, it feels like it will never get any easier.
    Day 52 – 07/30…..209.2….. Thanks ladies for you comforting words. I am going to try to focus more on my quality of eating in the coming days. My quantities are okay, it’s the choices I am making. Goal: To get back on track asap although there is still so much going on in my life that I cannot control right now. The coming months will continue to be dreadful but I will do what I can, when I can. Every choices counts.
    Day 53 – 07 /31 …..209.4….. I think this is a correction. OMAD today. I will have a small snack tonight. I was pretty upset all day thinking about my Reeces. As time passes, I know it will get easier. In the meantime, more water and better choices are what is on the menu!

    Weight Loss in July……………….. 1.5 lb GAIN
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb Loss



    Day 54 – 08/01 …..209.4…..
    Day 55 – 08/02…..209.9….. Chocolate.
    Day 56 – 08/03 …..209.8….. Much deserved bloating and tummy aches. I hope it will resolve itself today.
    Day 57 – 08/04 …..209.8…..
    Day 58 – 08/05 …..209.8….. Hovering…..
    Day 59 – 08/06…..209.8…..
    Day 60 – 08/07 …..209.6……Finally a small bit of improvement!
    Day 61 – 08/08 .….209.8……Thai food with rice. Hopefully this small increase is sodium related and temporary.
    Day 62 – 08/09 …..209.8……
    Day 63 – 08/10 …..209.5…… Love this drop on the scale this morning! I wish I could say I was 100% back on track but it would be a lie. I did burn many many calories yesterday with my normal Sunday work cleaning tourist cabins and had little time to eat so the calories were down. But my nighttime efforts of avoiding the junk food or bad quick foods paid off. It would be nice if I could pick up the ball and run with it today. I will try but today is scheduled to be stressful day #1 of many more stressful days to come. Some of the things I’m going thru and really starting to progress and take hold. Focus….Focus….Focus……
    Day 64 – 08/11 …..209.5……
    Day 65 – 08/12 …..209.7……
    Day 66 – 08/13 …..209.6…… My whole world is turned upside down so I am happy just to be maintaining from day to day. Things will eventually get better!

    @dawnbgethealthy I'm aiming for the fitness range as well but I know we also need to take into how we feel about our body. These BF percentages look different on everyone.

    Overall, I've accepted my body except for my small tummy. Being so short, it makes it difficult to aim for a lower BF and right now I'm eating to eat but not really crunching down on the numbers (macros) to make this happen. I've read so much about body re-composition, it gets overwhelming.

    I think I'll just keep trying to stay within maintenance for a few weeks (sort of a break for myself) then see how I need to make this happen...little by little because the turtle always wins the race! :D

    Day 60 – 08/07: 110.6 ... I need to be more careful with dinner snacks and I'm expecting a gain tomorrow after pizza tonight.
    Day 61 – 08/08: 110.8 ... 6k steps, 1413 cals in, 1563 cals burned, 78g protein, 165g carbs, 52g fat
    Day 62 – 08/09: 110.2
    Day 63 – 08/10: 110.4 ... 3k steps, 1374 cals in, 1434 cals burned, 107g protein, 156g carbs, 43g fat ... 29% BF
    Day 64 – 08/11: 111 ... Yikes! Probably needed more steps yesterday?
    Day 65 – 08/12: 111.6
    Day 66 – 08/13: 111.8 ... still within maintenance but I don't really like the gain... although, my Renpho scale says I've gained 0.8 bs of muscle since 08/01.

    I was avoiding the scale for the past couple mornings. I’ve been ravenously hungry and just didn’t feel like seeing it reflected on the scale lol. Turns out it’s period week, so that explains the hunger and the bloating/water retention. I need to set my phone to remind me when that is coming, because I get frustrated every month with a 3-5 pound scale jump and feeling like I could eat an entire buffet of desserts.

    @syreina
    My fat calipers haven't arrived in the mail yet, so by doing measurements I am still in the obese stage. Here I am jumping ahead wanting to be in the fitness range instead of the average range : - )
    Really, I should have some quite good muscle underneath the fat, I work out lots.
    My body is definitely getting wrinklier, and the weight has shifted around quite a bit. My hourglass is becoming a bit more straight up and down than it used to. I have lost inches in some places, and not at all in others. I measured this morning.

    This will be my 3rd round.
    I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
    My name is Dawn. 59 year old female. I was 5'3" but think that I am 5'2" now. Broca Index says that I should be 112.8 pounds.
    I live in South East British Columbia Canada
    MFP start date October 29.18 - SW 191
    This round start weight: 151.2 - June 09.20
    Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

    My previous 2 rounds:
    My first round of this was #3, the one starting November 22 ending February 29 - Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7 pounds
    This last one, #4:
    Day 1 March 01 - 154.4
    Day 100 June 08 - 151.7
    Total: 2.7 pounds lost in 100 days. Argh, all of that hard work for such a piddly result.
    200 days = 6.4 - So hopefully at least 10 pounds per year. This will take forever!!
    I like to see a monthly total usually, but will try this weekly idea. More accountability : - )
    I am going to keep track of my leftover calories this time, based on 1200 calories consumed per day.

    Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

    Day 1: Tues, 6/9 - 151.2 - 607 calories leftover in the tracker (Green)
    Day 2: Wed, 6/10 - 149.9 - Yippee Yahoo to touch the 140s, even if only slightly. - 1278 leftover in the tracker (Green)
    Day 3: Thurs, 6/11 - 150.1 - 14 calories leftover in the tracker
    Day 4: Fri, 6/12 - 153.4 - Had a cheat meal (Asian Sesame Ribs) last night and it was delicious. I try to have Ribs only once per month or less because of the weight gain. I must have drank 2 litres of water or more afterwards because they were salty, that adds to the high weight this morning. I don't expect my weight to be so high tomorrow, I will keep my calories low today. 910 calories left over
    Day 5: Sat, 6/13: 153.2 - Well, it comes off much slower than it goes on as we know! In the green always even if small, but to lose I need at least 500 calories per day in the green. 104 Calories left over

    1st Week Goal Weight: 150.2
    1st Week Actual Weight: 153.2 - Gain of 2 pounds in 5 days. Hoping for a woosh to start the next one.
    Excess calories burned: 2913 - Not enough to burn a pound, but still more than enough to not gain 2 pounds!


    Day 6: Sun, 6/14 - 152.9 - This was my first full workout in a few days since I dropped a piece of concrete on my toes. 776 leftover in the tracker (Green).
    Day 7: Mon, 6/15 - 150.9 - Good, now to get back to that 149.9. 846 excess calories left over.
    Day 8: Tues, 6/16 - 151.0 - Below day 1 slightly, so that is good, but really working for some progress this week. 1354 left over in the tracker.
    Day 9: Wed, 6/17: - 150.2 - Burned lots of calories yesterday, struggled to get enough calories in for a change. Jello and cookies was my silly solution. 800 calories left over
    Day 10: Thurs, 6/18 - 150.2 - Hope to see a small drop tomorrow morning. 773 left over in the tracker (green)
    Day 11: Fri, 6/19: - 150.3 - Hmm, small gain, not sure why. Going to try to delay my cheat day (Rib Eye) since there is only one more weigh in for this week. It is in the freezer, I will have it another day. 176 calories left over
    Day 12: Sat, 6/20: - 150.6 - I had a Samosa and a Chimichanga last night. 571 left over in the tracker

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 149.9 - I know that this sounds ambitious, but my average (even with the high days) was 151.5
    2ndWeek Actual Weight: 150.6 - 0.8 down from Day 1 (12 days)
    Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over - 5296 calories

    Day 13: Sun, 6/21: - 150.6 - Missed the weigh in today, going with yesterday's weight. 1045 cal left over in the tracker
    Day 14: Mon, 6/22: - 152.0 - Ouch. Makes no sense. 926 cal left over in the tracker.
    Day 15: Tues, 6/23: 151.6 - Super frustrated. I work so hard at this! 608 calories left in the tracker
    Day 16: Wed, 6/24: - 151.6 - I don't get it, right on point. Still above day 1!! 909 calories left over in the tracker (green)
    Day 17: Thurs, 6/25: 150.7 - Peed like 40 times yesterday, guessing that it was trapped water? I had been working out in the hot sun every day since Monday, and yesterday it rained. Perhaps my body was holding on to the water because of the heat? 744 calories left over in the tracker.
    Day 18: Fri, 6/26: 150.1 - Good. Still a slight chance at hitting the weekly goal weight, but that is 1/2 a pound which normally takes me 2 weeks to lose. We'll see tomorrow. 1531 calories left over
    Day 19: Sat, 6/27: 150.0 - I am happy with this, super ready to get into the 140s - and stay there, I have touched them twice. 1676 calories left over
    3rd Week Goal Weight: 149.6
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 150.0
    Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over: 7439 calories left over, which should equal 2+ pounds, but only in reality netted me a 0.6 pound loss. Very cruel, I am working very hard at this.

    Day 20: Sun, 6/28: - 149.3 - Tending not to believe this number, I mean, I like it, but I slept in today so got a lower number than I probably would have. Still great to touch this number for the first time! 875 calories left over.
    Day 21: Mon, 6/29: - 148.7 - New low! Maybe all of those excess calories burned are now showing up. Hoping that this is not just a fluctuation : - ) 1503 Calories left over
    Day 22: Tues, 6/30: - 148.1 - Last weeks excess calorie burn must be kicking in to this slow old metabolism! 714 calories left over

    Excess calories burned in June: 25,437, but this includes the entire month and we started this round on the 6th. 7.267 pounds mathematically that I should have lost for the entire month. (3500 calories equals a pound)
    The number not counting the 1st to the 5th is 21,658. 6.188 pounds mathematically I should have lost in 24 days.
    Weight Loss in June - 3.1 pounds - so much better than my usual 1 pound loss per month.

    Day 23: Wed, 7/1: 148.4 - 1053 calories left over
    Day 24: Thurs, 7/2: 149.4 - I didn't do anything to gain a pound in a day. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation. I never want to visit the 150s again, I was there for a long time.
    Day 25: Fri, 7/3: 149.2. I'll take it. Day off today, so lots of extra workouts here and there, healthy food. 1171 excess calories burned
    Day 26: Sat, 7/4: 149.1 - 332 excess calories burned
    4th Week Goal Weight: 148.3
    4th Week Actual Weight: 149.1
    Excess calories burned: 6634 - Should have amounted to an almost 2 pound loss, but somehow I gained.

    Day 27: Sun, 7/5: 149.1 - This could go up over the next few days, I partied yesterday. Hoping not and I will try to work out extra today. 1120 calories left over in the tracker - ate 1200
    Day 28: Mon, 7/6: 149.3 - Could have been worse from Saturday, mitigated it. Another one of my jobs has lifted lay-off, so my time for working out will not be as much soon, I will try to keep it up though. 1598 calories left over
    Day 29: Tues, 7/7: 149.1 - Major calorie burn yesterday, including lots of Zumba and yardwork, burned off more than I ate for the second day in a row. Hoping for a drop soon. 658 calories left over.
    Day 30: Wed, 7/8: 149.4 - High calorie burn days will be over for me now except for weekends now that I am back to work. 322 calories left over.
    Day 31: Thurs, 7/9: 148.4 - Very surprised at this, I worked extremely late and didn't get lunch/dinner until 10:30 at night. Sleeping in always gives me a good number. 785 calories left over
    Day 32: Fri, 7/10: 148.7 - I was so late in from work last night that I didn't finish lunch/dinner until 11:30!! Too late to be eating. Maybe it really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter what time of day that happens? I definitely get better results on the scale if I am 12 hours in between my last mouthful and weighing the next day. Working from home today instead of out in the field, so it should be better. 472 cal left over
    Day 33: Sat, 7/11: 148.8 138 calories left over
    5th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
    5th Week Actual Weight: 148.8 - Down 0.3 of a pound, had hoped for more, but better than gaining.
    5th Week Excess calories burned (Green in the tracker leftover) 4535 - so should have lost at least a pound

    Day 34: Sun, 7/12: Weighed at 4am instead of 9am, so will use my tomorrow weight as my week start weight. Ended at 148.8 for week 5. 886 calories left over.
    Day 35: Mon, 7/13: 149.1 That seems not right. 1,004 calories left over
    Day 36: Tues, 7/14: 148.7 - Weighing daily drives accountability, but there is also that fluctuation thing to deal with which can be a bit hurtful at times. I feel normalized today. 545 calories left over
    Day 37: Wed, 7/15: 148.4 - Still adjusting to going back to work, I don't eat or exercise like I was. 832 calories left over
    Day 38: Thurs, 7/16: 148.3 - Sloooowwww Took the day off of work, so less stressed and more time to work out. 1222 calories left over
    Day 39: Fri, 7/17: 148.3 - I had really expected a drop for this morning's weigh in, but nope. End of week weigh in tomorrow will keep me "good" I hope. 459 calories left over
    Day 40: Sat, 7/18: 148.1 - Somehow down 0.6lb. I ate "out" last night and I normally see at least a 2 pound gain when I do that. Hoping that it doesn't catch up with me. I was active, but also ate more than usual, so only 58 calories leftover.
    6th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
    6th Week Actual Weight: 148.1
    Excess calories burned: 5,006
    Day 41: Sun, 7/19: 148.5 - I ate and drank outside of my normal box this weekend including cheeseburger pizza (kept it to one slice), Wings, cocktails, chips...etc. Definitely grinding that to a halt immediately. Lucky to have only gained 0.4 of a pound. 919 calories left over
    Day 42: Mon, 7/20: 149.8 - There is the rest of the gain from the weekend. I cut right back starting yesterday, but the gain took a couple of days to show, and the loss won't happen overnight either. 281 calories left over
    Day 43: Tues, 7/21: 147.4 - Lowest ever! Very happy to see this number. 650 calories left over
    Day 44: Wed, 7/22: 147.0 - Happily surprised, almost didn't believe the low number, hoping that it is not a fluke. Tracking, measuring portions, working out...keeping it the same. 738 calories left over
    Day 45: Thurs, 7/23: 146.1 - So are all of those excess calories burned month after month just now catching up? I haven't changed anything at all. Maybe this heatwave is sweating the fat off of me. 30 calories left over
    Day 46: Fri, 7/24: 146.8 - This could go higher, I had my monthly Ribs feed last night. Kind of worth it, I will be more strict now. 667 calories left over
    Day 47: Sat, 7/25: 147.7 - So I looked at my pedometre and my weight was still entered as 178.1 so I wasn't burning as many calories walking as I had thought, although I don't walk often, especially in the heat. 321 calories left over
    7th Week Goal Weight: 147.1
    7th Week Actual Weight: 147.7
    Excess calories burned: 3606 excess calories left over, enough to burn 1 pound.

    Day 49: Mon, 7/27: 147.7. 395 calories left over
    Day 50: Tues, 7/28: 147.3 - This is exactly the half-way mark of our 100 - looks like I am down 3.9 pounds in 50 days. 968 calories left over.
    Day 51: Wed, 7/29: 145.6 - New low due to going back to bed for 2 hours early this morning. Nice number, I hope to see it again! 819 calories left over.
    Day 52: Thurs, 7/30: 144.5 - Almost unbelievable. Another case of going back to bed for 2 hours. Back in February I was ice skating every day and had 27,000 calories burned in excess, yet still only lost 1 pound instead of 7.71lbs. Maybe it is finally all kicking in with my old slow metabolism? Who knows. I will take it. The weekend will be a challenge, many bbqs and cocktails planned, so going into it with a bit of a buffer will be great. Feeling firmly into the 140s now, need to keep it there...until I can get into the 130s of course. 433 excess calories burned
    Day 53: Fri, 7/31: 145.0 - Long weekend here, it is going to be tough to keep on track 600 excess calories burned

    Day 57: Tues, 8/4: 146.4 - So happy that there are still a good variety of local berries and cherries this time of year. It makes breakfasts healthier, quick, and low calorie. 508 calories left over in the tracker.
    Day 58: Wed, 8/5: 145.8 - These weeks are going by fast, the summer is going by fast! 312 calories left over.
    Day 59: Thurs, 8/6: 145.8 - Glad to not have gained, had a bit of an indulgent day, but I worked out lots. 777 calories left over.
    Day 60: Fri, 8/7: 147.1 - Ouch! Hoping that it is a glitch and that I end this "week" better than that. Input and Output were on point. 767 calories left over
    Day 61: Sat, 8/8: 145.8
    9th Week Goal Weight: 145.7 - This sounds aggressive because of my poor start to the week, but I hit 144.5 in last week, week 8

    Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 145.6 - Burned almost as much as I ate yesterday! Full workout planned for today, 25 minutes of Zumba (Hip Hop Fitness Marshall) to loosen up and stretch the whole body, then 35 minutes of HIIT with weights (Heather Robinson I think). 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off. Primarily working from home today and will be doing a very long day in the field tomorrow. 3 days until our weigh-in for this week. I am trying really hard lol. 1343 calories left over!
    Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 145.1 - Trying to lose 0.3 over the next few days. Working at it. 898 calories left over
    Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 144.9 - Yay. I have been burning a lot of extra calories this week including cutting the grass and stuff like that on top of my workouts. Keeping my eating calories low. Today my diet changes for at least a month, my first tomatoes are ripening and the rest will follow. Planning on a Tomato sandwich every single day with lots of mayo (1/2 fat Hellman's) and some sort of protein like bacon, ham, eggs. I will cut back elsewhere : - )

    I don't know what you are going through, but good job of maintaining instead of gaining. Tiny little changes make a big difference over the long haul. Like our girl @syreina says, the tortoise wins the race.

    @dawnbgethealthy I'm currently in the average bracket with 29%. Overall, I did not lose many inches in my arms and calves.

    I think everyone loses inches from different places.

    May Loss: 4.8 lbs ... what a whopping loss this month! I haven't seen such a loss since Aug 2019. I attribute the loss to 10k of daily walking, more water, and staying around 1200 to 1400 cals weekly average.

    Overall Loss from Nov 2017 to May 2020: 34 lbs --- Over 30 lbs!! :)

    Day 93 - 06/01: 112.4 ... 14k steps, 1570 cals, 9 cups of water and ~2746 mg sodium ... 31% BF
    Day 94 - 06/02: 113.4 ... well, that didn't take long... I had a full size chocolate bar and chips yesterday.
    Day 95 - 06/03: 113.4
    Day 96 - 06/04: 113.4
    Day 97 - 06/05: 112.2
    Day 98 - 06/06: 113.6
    Day 99 - 06/07: 113.4
    Day 100 - 06/08: 114.8 ... I felt very annoyed by restricting myself this weekend and overindulged in chocolate and chips. Delicious and not worth the weight gain.

    Day 22 – 06/30 …..207.9

    Weight Loss in June……………….. 3.1 lbs
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..3.1 lbs.


    Day 23 – 07/01 …..207.9…..
    Day 24 – 07/02 …..208.0….. A normal fluctuation because yesterday was a pretty good day although I could still tighten my belt some if I had a minute.
    Day 25 – 07 /03 …..207.9…..No time, even for a quick chat. I seriously need to plan & log because I am burning calories but likely eating too many too. And those carbs……
    Day 26 – 07/04 …..207.9…..
    Day 27 – 07/05 …..207.8….I suppose I should be grateful : /
    Day 28 – 07/06 …..207.5….. Some things went right, some things went wrong during this holiday weekend, but when the good outweighs the bad it’s a bit of progress. I hope to have things slow down a tiny bit this week and be able to focus more on logging and food prep. Only I can make the changes that need to be made and do so Consistently. Everyone is doing fantastic. Let’s keep up the good fight!
    Day 29 – 07/07 …..208.6….. One small cheeseburger and BAM!!! I think it’s salt and water retention. Let us hope……
    Day 30 – 07/08…..208.4….. Hopefully losing this water retention but I am not peeing very much (sorry for TMI) so I have to wonder….. Of course, there is all the sweat from the heat and no AC. Anyway, just happy for a small drop on the scale. @dawnbgethealthy I hope things are going well with your job and being back to work. My best to you…..
    Day 31 – 07/09 …..208.4….. Status Quo
    Day 32 – 07 /10 …..209.0….. Feeling inspired today by you all. I will make today a good day, one day at a time!
    Day 33 – 07/11 …..209.8….. I did everything right and the scale just ignored that fact. It’s okay……I don’t give up that easily!
    Day 34 – 07/12 …..209.6…..Not exactly happy but at least its back in the right direction.
    Day 35 – 07/13 …..209.6…..
    Day 36 – 07/14 …..209.6…..Much ado about nothing!
    Day 37 – 07/15 …..209.6….. Wow, really on the hamster wheel here.
    Day 38 – 07 /16 …..210.1….. Going thru some life-altering things right now. Most of it surprising and unexpected on so many levels. I am not able to follow thru on everything I wanted to accomplish. The rest of this year will prove to be challenging in my time and efforts but I will hang in here, be inspired, and do what I can whenever I can. I know it won’t be 100%, there is honestly nothing I can do about that right now. But I will give it every percent I can, when I can. Thanks for your patience folks. You are all my greatest of inspirations. #notgivingup
    Day 39 – 07 /17 …..210.0…..Dizzy with stress all day. I don’t mean the normal stresses we all must endure on the daily. This is the bad stuff but I am coping. Diet was off today pretty bad but I actually got in more deliberate movement. Changing what I can when I can, that is the best any of us can hope for. Tonight I am going to go for some “me” time.
    Day 40 – 07/18 …..210.0…..


    Day 41 – 07 /19…..210.1…..
    Day 42 – 07/20 …..210.0….. Flipping & Flopping. Not overeating but eating the “wrong things” for sure. Fair calories but higher carbs.
    Day 43 – 07/21 …..210.0….. You guys are all slaying it. Hopefully my turn soon. Just gotta make the changes consistently and not let so much get in the way!
    Day 44 – 07/22 …..210.1….. like a teeter-totter
    Day 45 – 07/23 …..210.0…..
    Day 46 – 07/24 …..210.0…..
    Day 47 – 07/25 …..210.0…..
    Day 48 – 07/26 …..210.0…..Holding my own, I suppose. While I can’t exactly focus or fully commit during this time, I realize that even small changes can help. I’ve been doing that when possible and I am happy there is no gain.
    Day 49 – 07/27 …..210.2….. likely a fluctuation or a bit of water retention. Diet was average yesterday. No reason for a gain.
    Day 50 – 07 /28 …..209.8….. I am pretty sure they are going to put my loving cat to sleep today. I am a wreck. Weight drop on the scale because I can’t eat right now. Vet appointment at 3:00 .
    Day 51 – 07/29 …..208.1….. She was put down at 3:30. Obviously couldn’t eat yesterday. They say time heals all wounds and I know it will get better. I’ve been down this road before. Right now, however, it feels like it will never get any easier.
    Day 52 – 07/30…..209.2….. Thanks ladies for you comforting words. I am going to try to focus more on my quality of eating in the coming days. My quantities are okay, it’s the choices I am making. Goal: To get back on track asap although there is still so much going on in my life that I cannot control right now. The coming months will continue to be dreadful but I will do what I can, when I can. Every choices counts.
    Day 53 – 07 /31 …..209.4….. I think this is a correction. OMAD today. I will have a small snack tonight. I was pretty upset all day thinking about my Reeces. As time passes, I know it will get easier. In the meantime, more water and better choices are what is on the menu!

    Weight Loss in July……………….. 1.5 lb GAIN
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb Loss



    Day 54 – 08/01 …..209.4…..
    Day 55 – 08/02…..209.9….. Chocolate.
    Day 56 – 08/03 …..209.8….. Much deserved bloating and tummy aches. I hope it will resolve itself today.
    Day 57 – 08/04 …..209.8…..
    Day 58 – 08/05 …..209.8….. Hovering…..
    Day 59 – 08/06…..209.8…..
    Day 60 – 08/07 …..209.6……Finally a small bit of improvement!
    Day 61 – 08/08 .….209.8……Thai food with rice. Hopefully this small increase is sodium related and temporary.
    Day 62 – 08/09 …..209.8……
    Day 63 – 08/10 …..209.5…… Love this drop on the scale this morning! I wish I could say I was 100% back on track but it would be a lie. I did burn many many calories yesterday with my normal Sunday work cleaning tourist cabins and had little time to eat so the calories were down. But my nighttime efforts of avoiding the junk food or bad quick foods paid off. It would be nice if I could pick up the ball and run with it today. I will try but today is scheduled to be stressful day #1 of many more stressful days to come. Some of the things I’m going thru and really starting to progress and take hold. Focus….Focus….Focus……
    Day 64 – 08/11 …..209.5……
    Day 65 – 08/12 …..209.7……
    Day 66 – 08/13 …..209.6…… My whole world is turned upside down so I am happy just to be maintaining from day to day. Things will eventually get better!
    Day 67 – 08/14 …..209.6…… I appreciate all the kind and thoughtful words. Thanks everyone.

    Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 164.6 (I'm going to attribute this to week before TOM and the new heavy lifting routine I've been doing and *crossing fingers* hope it's muscle haha! I'm not going to worry too much about the numbers just yet as I've been still within my goals!)

    Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 163.8
    Day 68: Sat, 8/15: 164.6 (Ate crappy, but that's because my daughter is here and that's okay! I'll go back to normal on Monday, but for now, we are enjoying our time together. I mean I'm not eating TOO bad, but definitely different than my norm and it will definitely show on my weigh in day. But the good thing is that we've been very active and I'm still getting my workouts in somehow!)

    This will be my 3rd round.
    I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
    My name is Dawn. 59 year old female. I was 5'3" but think that I am 5'2" now. Broca Index says that I should be 112.8 pounds.
    I live in South East British Columbia Canada
    MFP start date October 29.18 - SW 191
    This round start weight: 151.2 - June 09.20
    Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

    My previous 2 rounds:
    My first round of this was #3, the one starting November 22 ending February 29 - Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7 pounds
    This last one, #4:
    Day 1 March 01 - 154.4
    Day 100 June 08 - 151.7
    Total: 2.7 pounds lost in 100 days. Argh, all of that hard work for such a piddly result.
    200 days = 6.4 - So hopefully at least 10 pounds per year. This will take forever!!
    I like to see a monthly total usually, but will try this weekly idea. More accountability : - )
    I am going to keep track of my leftover calories this time, based on 1200 calories consumed per day.

    Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

    Day 1: Tues, 6/9 - 151.2 - 607 calories leftover in the tracker (Green)
    Day 2: Wed, 6/10 - 149.9 - Yippee Yahoo to touch the 140s, even if only slightly. - 1278 leftover in the tracker (Green)
    Day 3: Thurs, 6/11 - 150.1 - 14 calories leftover in the tracker
    Day 4: Fri, 6/12 - 153.4 - Had a cheat meal (Asian Sesame Ribs) last night and it was delicious. I try to have Ribs only once per month or less because of the weight gain. I must have drank 2 litres of water or more afterwards because they were salty, that adds to the high weight this morning. I don't expect my weight to be so high tomorrow, I will keep my calories low today. 910 calories left over
    Day 5: Sat, 6/13: 153.2 - Well, it comes off much slower than it goes on as we know! In the green always even if small, but to lose I need at least 500 calories per day in the green. 104 Calories left over

    1st Week Goal Weight: 150.2
    1st Week Actual Weight: 153.2 - Gain of 2 pounds in 5 days. Hoping for a woosh to start the next one.
    Excess calories burned: 2913 - Not enough to burn a pound, but still more than enough to not gain 2 pounds!


    Day 6: Sun, 6/14 - 152.9 - This was my first full workout in a few days since I dropped a piece of concrete on my toes. 776 leftover in the tracker (Green).
    Day 7: Mon, 6/15 - 150.9 - Good, now to get back to that 149.9. 846 excess calories left over.
    Day 8: Tues, 6/16 - 151.0 - Below day 1 slightly, so that is good, but really working for some progress this week. 1354 left over in the tracker.
    Day 9: Wed, 6/17: - 150.2 - Burned lots of calories yesterday, struggled to get enough calories in for a change. Jello and cookies was my silly solution. 800 calories left over
    Day 10: Thurs, 6/18 - 150.2 - Hope to see a small drop tomorrow morning. 773 left over in the tracker (green)
    Day 11: Fri, 6/19: - 150.3 - Hmm, small gain, not sure why. Going to try to delay my cheat day (Rib Eye) since there is only one more weigh in for this week. It is in the freezer, I will have it another day. 176 calories left over
    Day 12: Sat, 6/20: - 150.6 - I had a Samosa and a Chimichanga last night. 571 left over in the tracker

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 149.9 - I know that this sounds ambitious, but my average (even with the high days) was 151.5
    2ndWeek Actual Weight: 150.6 - 0.8 down from Day 1 (12 days)
    Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over - 5296 calories

    Day 13: Sun, 6/21: - 150.6 - Missed the weigh in today, going with yesterday's weight. 1045 cal left over in the tracker
    Day 14: Mon, 6/22: - 152.0 - Ouch. Makes no sense. 926 cal left over in the tracker.
    Day 15: Tues, 6/23: 151.6 - Super frustrated. I work so hard at this! 608 calories left in the tracker
    Day 16: Wed, 6/24: - 151.6 - I don't get it, right on point. Still above day 1!! 909 calories left over in the tracker (green)
    Day 17: Thurs, 6/25: 150.7 - Peed like 40 times yesterday, guessing that it was trapped water? I had been working out in the hot sun every day since Monday, and yesterday it rained. Perhaps my body was holding on to the water because of the heat? 744 calories left over in the tracker.
    Day 18: Fri, 6/26: 150.1 - Good. Still a slight chance at hitting the weekly goal weight, but that is 1/2 a pound which normally takes me 2 weeks to lose. We'll see tomorrow. 1531 calories left over
    Day 19: Sat, 6/27: 150.0 - I am happy with this, super ready to get into the 140s - and stay there, I have touched them twice. 1676 calories left over
    3rd Week Goal Weight: 149.6
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 150.0
    Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over: 7439 calories left over, which should equal 2+ pounds, but only in reality netted me a 0.6 pound loss. Very cruel, I am working very hard at this.

    Day 20: Sun, 6/28: - 149.3 - Tending not to believe this number, I mean, I like it, but I slept in today so got a lower number than I probably would have. Still great to touch this number for the first time! 875 calories left over.
    Day 21: Mon, 6/29: - 148.7 - New low! Maybe all of those excess calories burned are now showing up. Hoping that this is not just a fluctuation : - ) 1503 Calories left over
    Day 22: Tues, 6/30: - 148.1 - Last weeks excess calorie burn must be kicking in to this slow old metabolism! 714 calories left over

    Excess calories burned in June: 25,437, but this includes the entire month and we started this round on the 6th. 7.267 pounds mathematically that I should have lost for the entire month. (3500 calories equals a pound)
    The number not counting the 1st to the 5th is 21,658. 6.188 pounds mathematically I should have lost in 24 days.
    Weight Loss in June - 3.1 pounds - so much better than my usual 1 pound loss per month.

    Day 23: Wed, 7/1: 148.4 - 1053 calories left over
    Day 24: Thurs, 7/2: 149.4 - I didn't do anything to gain a pound in a day. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation. I never want to visit the 150s again, I was there for a long time.
    Day 25: Fri, 7/3: 149.2. I'll take it. Day off today, so lots of extra workouts here and there, healthy food. 1171 excess calories burned
    Day 26: Sat, 7/4: 149.1 - 332 excess calories burned
    4th Week Goal Weight: 148.3
    4th Week Actual Weight: 149.1
    Excess calories burned: 6634 - Should have amounted to an almost 2 pound loss, but somehow I gained.

    Day 27: Sun, 7/5: 149.1 - This could go up over the next few days, I partied yesterday. Hoping not and I will try to work out extra today. 1120 calories left over in the tracker - ate 1200
    Day 28: Mon, 7/6: 149.3 - Could have been worse from Saturday, mitigated it. Another one of my jobs has lifted lay-off, so my time for working out will not be as much soon, I will try to keep it up though. 1598 calories left over
    Day 29: Tues, 7/7: 149.1 - Major calorie burn yesterday, including lots of Zumba and yardwork, burned off more than I ate for the second day in a row. Hoping for a drop soon. 658 calories left over.
    Day 30: Wed, 7/8: 149.4 - High calorie burn days will be over for me now except for weekends now that I am back to work. 322 calories left over.
    Day 31: Thurs, 7/9: 148.4 - Very surprised at this, I worked extremely late and didn't get lunch/dinner until 10:30 at night. Sleeping in always gives me a good number. 785 calories left over
    Day 32: Fri, 7/10: 148.7 - I was so late in from work last night that I didn't finish lunch/dinner until 11:30!! Too late to be eating. Maybe it really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter what time of day that happens? I definitely get better results on the scale if I am 12 hours in between my last mouthful and weighing the next day. Working from home today instead of out in the field, so it should be better. 472 cal left over
    Day 33: Sat, 7/11: 148.8 138 calories left over
    5th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
    5th Week Actual Weight: 148.8 - Down 0.3 of a pound, had hoped for more, but better than gaining.
    5th Week Excess calories burned (Green in the tracker leftover) 4535 - so should have lost at least a pound

    Day 34: Sun, 7/12: Weighed at 4am instead of 9am, so will use my tomorrow weight as my week start weight. Ended at 148.8 for week 5. 886 calories left over.
    Day 35: Mon, 7/13: 149.1 That seems not right. 1,004 calories left over
    Day 36: Tues, 7/14: 148.7 - Weighing daily drives accountability, but there is also that fluctuation thing to deal with which can be a bit hurtful at times. I feel normalized today. 545 calories left over
    Day 37: Wed, 7/15: 148.4 - Still adjusting to going back to work, I don't eat or exercise like I was. 832 calories left over
    Day 38: Thurs, 7/16: 148.3 - Sloooowwww Took the day off of work, so less stressed and more time to work out. 1222 calories left over
    Day 39: Fri, 7/17: 148.3 - I had really expected a drop for this morning's weigh in, but nope. End of week weigh in tomorrow will keep me "good" I hope. 459 calories left over
    Day 40: Sat, 7/18: 148.1 - Somehow down 0.6lb. I ate "out" last night and I normally see at least a 2 pound gain when I do that. Hoping that it doesn't catch up with me. I was active, but also ate more than usual, so only 58 calories leftover.
    6th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
    6th Week Actual Weight: 148.1
    Excess calories burned: 5,006
    Day 41: Sun, 7/19: 148.5 - I ate and drank outside of my normal box this weekend including cheeseburger pizza (kept it to one slice), Wings, cocktails, chips...etc. Definitely grinding that to a halt immediately. Lucky to have only gained 0.4 of a pound. 919 calories left over
    Day 42: Mon, 7/20: 149.8 - There is the rest of the gain from the weekend. I cut right back starting yesterday, but the gain took a couple of days to show, and the loss won't happen overnight either. 281 calories left over
    Day 43: Tues, 7/21: 147.4 - Lowest ever! Very happy to see this number. 650 calories left over
    Day 44: Wed, 7/22: 147.0 - Happily surprised, almost didn't believe the low number, hoping that it is not a fluke. Tracking, measuring portions, working out...keeping it the same. 738 calories left over
    Day 45: Thurs, 7/23: 146.1 - So are all of those excess calories burned month after month just now catching up? I haven't changed anything at all. Maybe this heatwave is sweating the fat off of me. 30 calories left over
    Day 46: Fri, 7/24: 146.8 - This could go higher, I had my monthly Ribs feed last night. Kind of worth it, I will be more strict now. 667 calories left over
    Day 47: Sat, 7/25: 147.7 - So I looked at my pedometre and my weight was still entered as 178.1 so I wasn't burning as many calories walking as I had thought, although I don't walk often, especially in the heat. 321 calories left over
    7th Week Goal Weight: 147.1
    7th Week Actual Weight: 147.7
    Excess calories burned: 3606 excess calories left over, enough to burn 1 pound.

    Day 48: Sun, 7/26: Missed weighing. 369 excess calories left over
    Day 49: Mon, 7/27: 147.7. 395 calories left over
    Day 50: Tues, 7/28: 147.3 - This is exactly the half-way mark of our 100 - looks like I am down 3.9 pounds in 50 days. 968 calories left over.
    Day 51: Wed, 7/29: 145.6 - New low due to going back to bed for 2 hours early this morning. Nice number, I hope to see it again! 819 calories left over.
    Day 52: Thurs, 7/30: 144.5 - Almost unbelievable. Another case of going back to bed for 2 hours. Back in February I was ice skating every day and had 27,000 calories burned in excess, yet still only lost 1 pound instead of 7.71lbs. Maybe it is finally all kicking in with my old slow metabolism? Who knows. I will take it. The weekend will be a challenge, many bbqs and cocktails planned, so going into it with a bit of a buffer will be great. Feeling firmly into the 140s now, need to keep it there...until I can get into the 130s of course. 433 excess calories burned
    Day 53: Fri, 7/31: 145.0 - Long weekend here, it is going to be tough to keep on track 600 excess calories burned
    Day 54: Sat, 8/1: Missed the weigh-in. 204 excess calories burned
    8th Week Goal Weight: 146.7
    8th Week Actual Weight: ??
    Excess calories burned: 3788 - More than a pound worth

    Day 55: Sun, 8/2: Missed the weigh-in. 369 excess calories left over
    Day 56: Mon, 8/3: 147.7 - Ouch, need to get right on top of that! 927 excess calories left over
    Day 57: Tues, 8/4: 146.4 - So happy that there are still a good variety of local berries and cherries this time of year. It makes breakfasts healthier, quick, and low calorie. 508 calories left over in the tracker.
    Day 58: Wed, 8/5: 145.8 - These weeks are going by fast, the summer is going by fast! 312 calories left over.
    Day 59: Thurs, 8/6: 145.8 - Glad to not have gained, had a bit of an indulgent day, but I worked out lots. 777 calories left over.
    Day 60: Fri, 8/7: 147.1 - Ouch! Hoping that it is a glitch and that I end this "week" better than that. Input and Output were on point. 767 calories left over
    Day 61: Sat, 8/8: 145.8
    9th Week Goal Weight: 145.7 - This sounds aggressive because of my poor start to the week, but I hit 144.5 in last week, week 8
    9th Week Actual Weight: 145.8 - Close to goal
    Excess calories burned: - 4208 - more than 1 pound worth.

    Day 62: Sun, 8/9: 146.4 - Had a kind of cheat day, now it will take a few days to even that out. 897 calories left over
    Day 63: Mon, 8/10: 146.8 - Working hard to get this down. Weighed way too early in the morning today. 840 calories left over
    Day 64: Tues, 8/11: 146.4 - Staying diligent, would love to see a woosh to get me back to week 8s weight - and beyond. 1050 calories left over.
    Day 65: Wed, 8/12: 145.6 - Burned almost as much as I ate yesterday! Full workout planned for today, 25 minutes of Zumba (Hip Hop Fitness Marshall) to loosen up and stretch the whole body, then 35 minutes of HIIT with weights (Heather Robinson I think). 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off. Primarily working from home today and will be doing a very long day in the field tomorrow. 3 days until our weigh-in for this week. I am trying really hard lol. 1343 calories left over!
    Day 66: Thurs, 8/13: 145.1 - Trying to lose 0.3 over the next few days. Working at it. 898 calories left over
    Day 67: Fri, 8/14: 144.9 - Yay. I have been burning a lot of extra calories this week including cutting the grass and stuff like that on top of my workouts. Keeping my eating calories low. Today my diet changes for at least a month, my first tomatoes are ripening and the rest will follow. Planning on a Tomato sandwich every single day with lots of mayo (1/2 fat Hellman's) and some sort of protein like bacon, ham, eggs. I will cut back elsewhere : - ) 132 calories left over
    Day 68: Sat, 8/15: 145.9 - Not a good way to end a very determined week of shedding weight : - (

    Day 19 – 06/27 …..208.5
    Day 20 – 06/28 …..208.8
    Day 21 – 06 /29 ….208.8
    Day 22 – 06/30 …..207.9

    Weight Loss in June……………….. 3.1 lbs
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..3.1 lbs.


    Day 23 – 07/01 …..207.9…..
    Day 24 – 07/02 …..208.0….. A normal fluctuation because yesterday was a pretty good day although I could still tighten my belt some if I had a minute.
    Day 25 – 07 /03 …..207.9…..No time, even for a quick chat. I seriously need to plan & log because I am burning calories but likely eating too many too. And those carbs……
    Day 26 – 07/04 …..207.9…..
    Day 27 – 07/05 …..207.8….I suppose I should be grateful : /
    Day 28 – 07/06 …..207.5….. Some things went right, some things went wrong during this holiday weekend, but when the good outweighs the bad it’s a bit of progress. I hope to have things slow down a tiny bit this week and be able to focus more on logging and food prep. Only I can make the changes that need to be made and do so Consistently. Everyone is doing fantastic. Let’s keep up the good fight!
    Day 29 – 07/07 …..208.6….. One small cheeseburger and BAM!!! I think it’s salt and water retention. Let us hope……
    Day 30 – 07/08…..208.4….. Hopefully losing this water retention but I am not peeing very much (sorry for TMI) so I have to wonder….. Of course, there is all the sweat from the heat and no AC. Anyway, just happy for a small drop on the scale. @dawnbgethealthy I hope things are going well with your job and being back to work. My best to you…..
    Day 31 – 07/09 …..208.4….. Status Quo
    Day 32 – 07 /10 …..209.0….. Feeling inspired today by you all. I will make today a good day, one day at a time!
    Day 33 – 07/11 …..209.8….. I did everything right and the scale just ignored that fact. It’s okay……I don’t give up that easily!
    Day 34 – 07/12 …..209.6…..Not exactly happy but at least its back in the right direction.
    Day 35 – 07/13 …..209.6…..
    Day 36 – 07/14 …..209.6…..Much ado about nothing!
    Day 37 – 07/15 …..209.6….. Wow, really on the hamster wheel here.
    Day 38 – 07 /16 …..210.1….. Going thru some life-altering things right now. Most of it surprising and unexpected on so many levels. I am not able to follow thru on everything I wanted to accomplish. The rest of this year will prove to be challenging in my time and efforts but I will hang in here, be inspired, and do what I can whenever I can. I know it won’t be 100%, there is honestly nothing I can do about that right now. But I will give it every percent I can, when I can. Thanks for your patience folks. You are all my greatest of inspirations. #notgivingup
    Day 39 – 07 /17 …..210.0…..Dizzy with stress all day. I don’t mean the normal stresses we all must endure on the daily. This is the bad stuff but I am coping. Diet was off today pretty bad but I actually got in more deliberate movement. Changing what I can when I can, that is the best any of us can hope for. Tonight I am going to go for some “me” time.
    Day 40 – 07/18 …..210.0…..


    Day 41 – 07 /19…..210.1…..
    Day 42 – 07/20 …..210.0….. Flipping & Flopping. Not overeating but eating the “wrong things” for sure. Fair calories but higher carbs.
    Day 43 – 07/21 …..210.0….. You guys are all slaying it. Hopefully my turn soon. Just gotta make the changes consistently and not let so much get in the way!
    Day 44 – 07/22 …..210.1….. like a teeter-totter
    Day 45 – 07/23 …..210.0…..
    Day 46 – 07/24 …..210.0…..
    Day 47 – 07/25 …..210.0…..
    Day 48 – 07/26 …..210.0…..Holding my own, I suppose. While I can’t exactly focus or fully commit during this time, I realize that even small changes can help. I’ve been doing that when possible and I am happy there is no gain.
    Day 49 – 07/27 …..210.2….. likely a fluctuation or a bit of water retention. Diet was average yesterday. No reason for a gain.
    Day 50 – 07 /28 …..209.8….. I am pretty sure they are going to put my loving cat to sleep today. I am a wreck. Weight drop on the scale because I can’t eat right now. Vet appointment at 3:00 .
    Day 51 – 07/29 …..208.1….. She was put down at 3:30. Obviously couldn’t eat yesterday. They say time heals all wounds and I know it will get better. I’ve been down this road before. Right now, however, it feels like it will never get any easier.
    Day 52 – 07/30…..209.2….. Thanks ladies for you comforting words. I am going to try to focus more on my quality of eating in the coming days. My quantities are okay, it’s the choices I am making. Goal: To get back on track asap although there is still so much going on in my life that I cannot control right now. The coming months will continue to be dreadful but I will do what I can, when I can. Every choices counts.
    Day 53 – 07 /31 …..209.4….. I think this is a correction. OMAD today. I will have a small snack tonight. I was pretty upset all day thinking about my Reeces. As time passes, I know it will get easier. In the meantime, more water and better choices are what is on the menu!

    Weight Loss in July……………….. 1.5 lb GAIN
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb Loss



    Day 54 – 08/01 …..209.4…..
    Day 55 – 08/02…..209.9….. Chocolate.
    Day 56 – 08/03 …..209.8….. Much deserved bloating and tummy aches. I hope it will resolve itself today.
    Day 57 – 08/04 …..209.8…..
    Day 58 – 08/05 …..209.8….. Hovering…..
    Day 59 – 08/06…..209.8…..
    Day 60 – 08/07 …..209.6……Finally a small bit of improvement!
    Day 61 – 08/08 .….209.8……Thai food with rice. Hopefully this small increase is sodium related and temporary.
    Day 62 – 08/09 …..209.8……
    Day 63 – 08/10 …..209.5…… Love this drop on the scale this morning! I wish I could say I was 100% back on track but it would be a lie. I did burn many many calories yesterday with my normal Sunday work cleaning tourist cabins and had little time to eat so the calories were down. But my nighttime efforts of avoiding the junk food or bad quick foods paid off. It would be nice if I could pick up the ball and run with it today. I will try but today is scheduled to be stressful day #1 of many more stressful days to come. Some of the things I’m going thru and really starting to progress and take hold. Focus….Focus….Focus……
    Day 64 – 08/11 …..209.5……
    Day 65 – 08/12 …..209.7……
    Day 66 – 08/13 …..209.6…… My whole world is turned upside down so I am happy just to be maintaining from day to day. Things will eventually get better!
    Day 67 – 08/14 …..209.6…… I appreciate all the kind and thoughtful words. Thanks everyone.

    This will be my 3rd round.
    I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
    My name is Dawn. 59 year old female. I was 5'3" but think that I am 5'2" now. Broca Index says that I should be 112.8 pounds.
    I live in South East British Columbia Canada
    MFP start date October 29.18 - SW 191
    This round start weight: 151.2 - June 09.20
    Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

    My previous 2 rounds:
    My first round of this was #3, the one starting November 22 ending February 29 - Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7 pounds
    This last one, #4:
    Day 1 March 01 - 154.4
    Day 100 June 08 - 151.7
    Total: 2.7 pounds lost in 100 days. Argh, all of that hard work for such a piddly result.
    200 days = 6.4 - So hopefully at least 10 pounds per year. This will take forever!!
    I like to see a monthly total usually, but will try this weekly idea. More accountability : - )
    I am going to keep track of my leftover calories this time, based on 1200 calories consumed per day.

    Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

    Day 1: Tues, 6/9 - 151.2 - 607 calories leftover in the tracker (Green)
    Day 2: Wed, 6/10 - 149.9 - Yippee Yahoo to touch the 140s, even if only slightly. - 1278 leftover in the tracker (Green)
    Day 3: Thurs, 6/11 - 150.1 - 14 calories leftover in the tracker
    Day 4: Fri, 6/12 - 153.4 - Had a cheat meal (Asian Sesame Ribs) last night and it was delicious. I try to have Ribs only once per month or less because of the weight gain. I must have drank 2 litres of water or more afterwards because they were salty, that adds to the high weight this morning. I don't expect my weight to be so high tomorrow, I will keep my calories low today. 910 calories left over
    Day 5: Sat, 6/13: 153.2 - Well, it comes off much slower than it goes on as we know! In the green always even if small, but to lose I need at least 500 calories per day in the green. 104 Calories left over

    1st Week Goal Weight: 150.2
    1st Week Actual Weight: 153.2 - Gain of 2 pounds in 5 days. Hoping for a woosh to start the next one.
    Excess calories burned: 2913 - Not enough to burn a pound, but still more than enough to not gain 2 pounds!


    Day 6: Sun, 6/14 - 152.9 - This was my first full workout in a few days since I dropped a piece of concrete on my toes. 776 leftover in the tracker (Green).
    Day 7: Mon, 6/15 - 150.9 - Good, now to get back to that 149.9. 846 excess calories left over.
    Day 8: Tues, 6/16 - 151.0 - Below day 1 slightly, so that is good, but really working for some progress this week. 1354 left over in the tracker.
    Day 9: Wed, 6/17: - 150.2 - Burned lots of calories yesterday, struggled to get enough calories in for a change. Jello and cookies was my silly solution. 800 calories left over
    Day 10: Thurs, 6/18 - 150.2 - Hope to see a small drop tomorrow morning. 773 left over in the tracker (green)
    Day 11: Fri, 6/19: - 150.3 - Hmm, small gain, not sure why. Going to try to delay my cheat day (Rib Eye) since there is only one more weigh in for this week. It is in the freezer, I will have it another day. 176 calories left over
    Day 12: Sat, 6/20: - 150.6 - I had a Samosa and a Chimichanga last night. 571 left over in the tracker

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 149.9 - I know that this sounds ambitious, but my average (even with the high days) was 151.5
    2ndWeek Actual Weight: 150.6 - 0.8 down from Day 1 (12 days)
    Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over - 5296 calories

    Day 13: Sun, 6/21: - 150.6 - Missed the weigh in today, going with yesterday's weight. 1045 cal left over in the tracker
    Day 14: Mon, 6/22: - 152.0 - Ouch. Makes no sense. 926 cal left over in the tracker.
    Day 15: Tues, 6/23: 151.6 - Super frustrated. I work so hard at this! 608 calories left in the tracker
    Day 16: Wed, 6/24: - 151.6 - I don't get it, right on point. Still above day 1!! 909 calories left over in the tracker (green)
    Day 17: Thurs, 6/25: 150.7 - Peed like 40 times yesterday, guessing that it was trapped water? I had been working out in the hot sun every day since Monday, and yesterday it rained. Perhaps my body was holding on to the water because of the heat? 744 calories left over in the tracker.
    Day 18: Fri, 6/26: 150.1 - Good. Still a slight chance at hitting the weekly goal weight, but that is 1/2 a pound which normally takes me 2 weeks to lose. We'll see tomorrow. 1531 calories left over
    Day 19: Sat, 6/27: 150.0 - I am happy with this, super ready to get into the 140s - and stay there, I have touched them twice. 1676 calories left over
    3rd Week Goal Weight: 149.6
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 150.0
    Excess calories burned, Green showing in the tracker as left over: 7439 calories left over, which should equal 2+ pounds, but only in reality netted me a 0.6 pound loss. Very cruel, I am working very hard at this.

    Day 20: Sun, 6/28: - 149.3 - Tending not to believe this number, I mean, I like it, but I slept in today so got a lower number than I probably would have. Still great to touch this number for the first time! 875 calories left over.
    Day 21: Mon, 6/29: - 148.7 - New low! Maybe all of those excess calories burned are now showing up. Hoping that this is not just a fluctuation : - ) 1503 Calories left over
    Day 22: Tues, 6/30: - 148.1 - Last weeks excess calorie burn must be kicking in to this slow old metabolism! 714 calories left over

    Excess calories burned in June: 25,437, but this includes the entire month and we started this round on the 6th. 7.267 pounds mathematically that I should have lost for the entire month. (3500 calories equals a pound)
    The number not counting the 1st to the 5th is 21,658. 6.188 pounds mathematically I should have lost in 24 days.
    Weight Loss in June - 3.1 pounds - so much better than my usual 1 pound loss per month.

    Day 23: Wed, 7/1: 148.4 - 1053 calories left over
    Day 24: Thurs, 7/2: 149.4 - I didn't do anything to gain a pound in a day. Hoping that it is just a fluctuation. I never want to visit the 150s again, I was there for a long time.
    Day 25: Fri, 7/3: 149.2. I'll take it. Day off today, so lots of extra workouts here and there, healthy food. 1171 excess calories burned
    Day 26: Sat, 7/4: 149.1 - 332 excess calories burned
    4th Week Goal Weight: 148.3
    4th Week Actual Weight: 149.1
    Excess calories burned: 6634 - Should have amounted to an almost 2 pound loss, but somehow I gained.

    Day 27: Sun, 7/5: 149.1 - This could go up over the next few days, I partied yesterday. Hoping not and I will try to work out extra today. 1120 calories left over in the tracker - ate 1200
    Day 28: Mon, 7/6: 149.3 - Could have been worse from Saturday, mitigated it. Another one of my jobs has lifted lay-off, so my time for working out will not be as much soon, I will try to keep it up though. 1598 calories left over
    Day 29: Tues, 7/7: 149.1 - Major calorie burn yesterday, including lots of Zumba and yardwork, burned off more than I ate for the second day in a row. Hoping for a drop soon. 658 calories left over.
    Day 30: Wed, 7/8: 149.4 - High calorie burn days will be over for me now except for weekends now that I am back to work. 322 calories left over.
    Day 31: Thurs, 7/9: 148.4 - Very surprised at this, I worked extremely late and didn't get lunch/dinner until 10:30 at night. Sleeping in always gives me a good number. 785 calories left over
    Day 32: Fri, 7/10: 148.7 - I was so late in from work last night that I didn't finish lunch/dinner until 11:30!! Too late to be eating. Maybe it really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter what time of day that happens? I definitely get better results on the scale if I am 12 hours in between my last mouthful and weighing the next day. Working from home today instead of out in the field, so it should be better. 472 cal left over
    Day 33: Sat, 7/11: 148.8 138 calories left over
    5th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
    5th Week Actual Weight: 148.8 - Down 0.3 of a pound, had hoped for more, but better than gaining.
    5th Week Excess calories burned (Green in the tracker leftover) 4535 - so should have lost at least a pound

    Day 34: Sun, 7/12: Weighed at 4am instead of 9am, so will use my tomorrow weight as my week start weight. Ended at 148.8 for week 5. 886 calories left over.
    Day 35: Mon, 7/13: 149.1 That seems not right. 1,004 calories left over
    Day 36: Tues, 7/14: 148.7 - Weighing daily drives accountability, but there is also that fluctuation thing to deal with which can be a bit hurtful at times. I feel normalized today. 545 calories left over
    Day 37: Wed, 7/15: 148.4 - Still adjusting to going back to work, I don't eat or exercise like I was. 832 calories left over
    Day 38: Thurs, 7/16: 148.3 - Sloooowwww Took the day off of work, so less stressed and more time to work out. 1222 calories left over
    Day 39: Fri, 7/17: 148.3 - I had really expected a drop for this morning's weigh in, but nope. End of week weigh in tomorrow will keep me "good" I hope. 459 calories left over
    Day 40: Sat, 7/18: 148.1 - Somehow down 0.6lb. I ate "out" last night and I normally see at least a 2 pound gain when I do that. Hoping that it doesn't catch up with me. I was active, but also ate more than usual, so only 58 calories leftover.
    6th Week Goal Weight: 148.1
    6th Week Actual Weight: 148.1
    Excess calories burned: 5,006
    Day 41: Sun, 7/19: 148.5 - I ate and drank outside of my normal box this weekend including cheeseburger pizza (kept it to one slice), Wings, cocktails, chips...etc. Definitely grinding that to a halt immediately. Lucky to have only gained 0.4 of a pound. 919 calories left over
    Day 42: Mon, 7/20: 149.8 - There is the rest of the gain from the weekend. I cut right back starting yesterday, but the gain took a couple of days to show, and the loss won't happen overnight either. 281 calories left over
    Day 43: Tues, 7/21: 147.4 - Lowest ever! Very happy to see this number. 650 calories left over
    Day 44: Wed, 7/22: 147.0 - Happily surprised, almost didn't believe the low number, hoping that it is not a fluke. Tracking, measuring portions, working out...keeping it the same. 738 calories left over
    Day 45: Thurs, 7/23: 146.1 - So are all of those excess calories burned month after month just now catching up? I haven't changed anything at all. Maybe this heatwave is sweating the fat off of me. 30 calories left over
    Day 46: Fri, 7/24: 146.8 - This could go higher, I had my monthly Ribs feed last night. Kind of worth it, I will be more strict now. 667 calories left over
    Day 47: Sat, 7/25: 147.7 - So I looked at my pedometre and my weight was still entered as 178.1 so I wasn't burning as many calories walking as I had thought, although I don't walk often, especially in the heat. 321 calories left over
    7th Week Goal Weight: 147.1
    7th Week Actual Weight: 147.7
    Excess calories burned: 3606 excess calories left over, enough to burn 1 pound.

    Day 48: Sun, 7/26: Missed weighing. 369 excess calories left over
    Day 49: Mon, 7/27: 147.7. 395 calories left over
    Day 50: Tues, 7/28: 147.3 - This is exactly the half-way mark of our 100 - looks like I am down 3.9 pounds in 50 days. 968 calories left over.
    Day 51: Wed, 7/29: 145.6 - New low due to going back to bed for 2 hours early this morning. Nice number, I hope to see it again! 819 calories left over.
    Day 52: Thurs, 7/30: 144.5 - Almost unbelievable. Another case of going back to bed for 2 hours. Back in February I was ice skating every day and had 27,000 calories burned in excess, yet still only lost 1 pound instead of 7.71lbs. Maybe it is finally all kicking in with my old slow metabolism? Who knows. I will take it. The weekend will be a challenge, many bbqs and cocktails planned, so going into it with a bit of a buffer will be great. Feeling firmly into the 140s now, need to keep it there...until I can get into the 130s of course. 433 excess calories burned
    Day 53: Fri, 7/31: 145.0 - Long weekend here, it is going to be tough to keep on track 600 excess calories burned
    Day 54: Sat, 8/1: Missed the weigh-in. 204 excess calories burned
    8th Week Goal Weight: 146.7
    8th Week Actual Weight: ??
    Excess calories burned: 3788 - More than a pound worth

    Day 55: Sun, 8/2: Missed the weigh-in. 369 excess calories left over
    Day 56: Mon, 8/3: 147.7 - Ouch, need to get right on top of that! 927 excess calories left over
    Day 57: Tues, 8/4: 146.4 - So happy that there are still a good variety of local berries and cherries this time of year. It makes breakfasts healthier, quick, and low calorie. 508 calories left over in the tracker.
    Day 58: Wed, 8/5: 145.8 - These weeks are going by fast, the summer is going by fast! 312 calories left over.
    Day 59: Thurs, 8/6: 145.8 - Glad to not have gained, had a bit of an indulgent day, but I worked out lots. 777 calories left over.
    Day 60: Fri, 8/7: 147.1 - Ouch! Hoping that it is a glitch and that I end this "week" better than that. Input and Output were on point. 767 calories left over
    Day 61: Sat, 8/8: 145.8
    9th Week Goal Weight: 145.7 - This sounds aggressive because of my poor start to the week, but I hit 144.5 in last week, week 8
    9th Week Actual Weight: 145.8 - Close to goal
    Excess calories burned: - 4208 - more than 1 pound worth.

    Day 62: Sun, 8/9: 146.4 - Had a kind of cheat day, now it will take a few days to even that out. 897 calories left over

    Weight Loss in June……………….. 3.1 lbs
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..3.1 lbs.


    Day 23 – 07/01 …..207.9…..
    Day 24 – 07/02 …..208.0….. A normal fluctuation because yesterday was a pretty good day although I could still tighten my belt some if I had a minute.
    Day 25 – 07 /03 …..207.9…..No time, even for a quick chat. I seriously need to plan & log because I am burning calories but likely eating too many too. And those carbs……
    Day 26 – 07/04 …..207.9…..
    Day 27 – 07/05 …..207.8….I suppose I should be grateful : /
    Day 28 – 07/06 …..207.5….. Some things went right, some things went wrong during this holiday weekend, but when the good outweighs the bad it’s a bit of progress. I hope to have things slow down a tiny bit this week and be able to focus more on logging and food prep. Only I can make the changes that need to be made and do so Consistently. Everyone is doing fantastic. Let’s keep up the good fight!
    Day 29 – 07/07 …..208.6….. One small cheeseburger and BAM!!! I think it’s salt and water retention. Let us hope……
    Day 30 – 07/08…..208.4….. Hopefully losing this water retention but I am not peeing very much (sorry for TMI) so I have to wonder….. Of course, there is all the sweat from the heat and no AC. Anyway, just happy for a small drop on the scale. @dawnbgethealthy I hope things are going well with your job and being back to work. My best to you…..
    Day 31 – 07/09 …..208.4….. Status Quo
    Day 32 – 07 /10 …..209.0….. Feeling inspired today by you all. I will make today a good day, one day at a time!
    Day 33 – 07/11 …..209.8….. I did everything right and the scale just ignored that fact. It’s okay……I don’t give up that easily!
    Day 34 – 07/12 …..209.6…..Not exactly happy but at least its back in the right direction.
    Day 35 – 07/13 …..209.6…..
    Day 36 – 07/14 …..209.6…..Much ado about nothing!
    Day 37 – 07/15 …..209.6….. Wow, really on the hamster wheel here.
    Day 38 – 07 /16 …..210.1….. Going thru some life-altering things right now. Most of it surprising and unexpected on so many levels. I am not able to follow thru on everything I wanted to accomplish. The rest of this year will prove to be challenging in my time and efforts but I will hang in here, be inspired, and do what I can whenever I can. I know it won’t be 100%, there is honestly nothing I can do about that right now. But I will give it every percent I can, when I can. Thanks for your patience folks. You are all my greatest of inspirations. #notgivingup
    Day 39 – 07 /17 …..210.0…..Dizzy with stress all day. I don’t mean the normal stresses we all must endure on the daily. This is the bad stuff but I am coping. Diet was off today pretty bad but I actually got in more deliberate movement. Changing what I can when I can, that is the best any of us can hope for. Tonight I am going to go for some “me” time.
    Day 40 – 07/18 …..210.0…..


    Day 41 – 07 /19…..210.1…..
    Day 42 – 07/20 …..210.0….. Flipping & Flopping. Not overeating but eating the “wrong things” for sure. Fair calories but higher carbs.
    Day 43 – 07/21 …..210.0….. You guys are all slaying it. Hopefully my turn soon. Just gotta make the changes consistently and not let so much get in the way!
    Day 44 – 07/22 …..210.1….. like a teeter-totter
    Day 45 – 07/23 …..210.0…..
    Day 46 – 07/24 …..210.0…..
    Day 47 – 07/25 …..210.0…..
    Day 48 – 07/26 …..210.0…..Holding my own, I suppose. While I can’t exactly focus or fully commit during this time, I realize that even small changes can help. I’ve been doing that when possible and I am happy there is no gain.
    Day 49 – 07/27 …..210.2….. likely a fluctuation or a bit of water retention. Diet was average yesterday. No reason for a gain.
    Day 50 – 07 /28 …..209.8….. I am pretty sure they are going to put my loving cat to sleep today. I am a wreck. Weight drop on the scale because I can’t eat right now. Vet appointment at 3:00 .
    Day 51 – 07/29 …..208.1….. She was put down at 3:30. Obviously couldn’t eat yesterday. They say time heals all wounds and I know it will get better. I’ve been down this road before. Right now, however, it feels like it will never get any easier.
    Day 52 – 07/30…..209.2….. Thanks ladies for you comforting words. I am going to try to focus more on my quality of eating in the coming days. My quantities are okay, it’s the choices I am making. Goal: To get back on track asap although there is still so much going on in my life that I cannot control right now. The coming months will continue to be dreadful but I will do what I can, when I can. Every choices counts.
    Day 53 – 07 /31 …..209.4….. I think this is a correction. OMAD today. I will have a small snack tonight. I was pretty upset all day thinking about my Reeces. As time passes, I know it will get easier. In the meantime, more water and better choices are what is on the menu!

    Weight Loss in July……………….. 1.5 lb GAIN
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.6 lb Loss



    Day 54 – 08/01 …..209.4…..
    Day 55 – 08/02…..209.9….. Chocolate.
    Day 56 – 08/03 …..209.8….. Much deserved bloating and tummy aches. I hope it will resolve itself today.
    Day 57 – 08/04 …..209.8…..
    Day 58 – 08/05 …..209.8….. Hovering…..
    Day 59 – 08/06…..209.8…..
    Day 60 – 08/07 …..209.6……Finally a small bit of improvement!
    Day 61 – 08/08 .….209.8……Thai food with rice. Hopefully this small increase is sodium related and temporary.
    Day 62 – 08/09 …..209.8……
    Day 63 – 08/10 …..209.5…… Love this drop on the scale this morning! I wish I could say I was 100% back on track but it would be a lie. I did burn many many calories yesterday with my normal Sunday work cleaning tourist cabins and had little time to eat so the calories were down. But my nighttime efforts of avoiding the junk food or bad quick foods paid off. It would be nice if I could pick up the ball and run with it today. I will try but today is scheduled to be stressful day #1 of many more stressful days to come. Some of the things I’m going thru and really starting to progress and take hold. Focus….Focus….Focus……
    Day 64 – 08/11 …..209.5……
    Day 65 – 08/12 …..209.7……
    Day 66 – 08/13 …..209.6…… My whole world is turned upside down so I am happy just to be maintaining from day to day. Things will eventually get better!
    Day 67 – 08/14 …..209.6…… I appreciate all the kind and thoughtful words. Thanks everyone.
