26/f
SW: 79.8kg
GW: 70kg
UGW: 52kg
Goal for this round is to stay focused for the whole 10 days, stick to what I know, and hopefully see the numbers drop!
08/25 - 79.1kg, I've started CICO again since Sunday and feeling good!
08/26 - 78.5kg, I'm seeing a lot of dropping very quickly but I feel like it'll creep up a little or plateau very soon. Likely losing a lot of water weight but it feels good regardless!
08/27 - 78.4kg, happy to still see a decrease. I've been sticking to my calorie limits but probably not drinking as much water as I should
08/28 - 78.5kg, as expected the initial water weight probably fell off and now balancing out. Staying strong!
08/29 - didn't weigh as I had a night away from home. Didn't count calories on 28th or today
08/30 - 79.4kg, didn't count Friday/Saturday so I'm not surprised, also low water intake and a bit of alcohol so everything is out of whack. Back to it today, hopefully see a better number tomorrow
08/31 - 79.2kg, I tried my best to count yesterday but went to a restaurant for lunch/dinner so couldn't be totally accurate-good to see a drop anyway! Happy Monday
09/01 - didn't weigh today
09/02 - didn't weigh again, I've gone a bit off track with calories and weighing. Will weigh tomorrow !!
09/03 - 78.7kg, I'm back for the final day of this round and ready for next round!!4 -
If there is a link to the next round, can someone please post it?
Our internet is slow and I somehow got logged out and am way behind in the game!0 -
I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! hurt! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

🏖🎡💕💖💕 SEPTEMBER 💕💖💕🎡⛱
🌾🎍🌵🌴🌳💕💖💕🌳🌴🌵🎍🌾
Looking forward:
I'm just too danged cussed to let this thing knock me back, and ruin all the effort I have put in to get here. I am stepping up my routine, and taking control. Sheltering in place means I can fully concentrate on getting in my exercise, and preparing healthy food.
August focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2020 Focus:Never give up! Never give in!- Stabilise weight around 145
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Recent Back Story:2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅JGM10D ~|~ Round 124
2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
That's a WIN in my book!
2020
Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.🔹Posting weight and comments each evening.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Goal for this round – to lose a pound. Stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 133 – 8.64 miles walked yesterday, chocolate got the better of me last night (sigh!). DGS back in theatre for liver biopsy today, bloodwork figures indicate possible rejection, biopsy will confirm/deny, if it is rejecting they can prescribe additional drugs to reverse, keeping fingers and everything else crossed.
08/26 132.4 – Walking non existent! Storm Francis forced me back home, I don't like walking in the rain and with blustery gusting wind it was even worse, that together with lunch out with my sisters meant that I was 386 calories, 23g carbs & 42g fat over. DGS is well in himself, awaiting liver biopsy results, hopefully today.
08/27 131.8 - 10.2 miles walked yesterday, 48 calories in credit, but 37g carbs & 10g fat over. But more importantly, DGS liver biopsy results showed that there is no signs of rejection – hurray !!
08/28. 132.2 - 4.29 miles walked yesterday, 142 calories in credit, 11g carbs over. Best news - DGS discharged from hospital yesterday 👏👏👏👏👏. Still long way to go, weekly hospital appts etc, but such a big step 😁.
08/29. 133.6 - 4 miles walked yesterday. 180 calories, 10g carbs & 8g fat over, I celebrated yesterday!!
08/30 133.6 - 12.86 miles walked yesterday, 750 calories in credit.
08/31 133.6 - 10 miles walked yesterday, 597 calories in credit, all macros in green.
09/01 133 - 12.8 miles walked yesterday. 882 calories in credit & all macros in green
09/02. 133 - 8.21 miles yesterday. 606 calories in credit & àll macros in green. I disappeared for a couple of days; we are away for a long weekend in our caravan on the side of the River Thames & my phone died, had to borrow DH's just to log food!
09/03
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – we're all in this together!

CW 128.5kg
GW (3 September) 127.5kg
Round 123 - 1.8kg loss
Day/Weight/Comment
25/8 128.5kg
Still a bit unwell, so no walking yet. I'm finding it easier not to snack in the evenings, which makes staying under my limit much easier.
26/8 128.2kg
Wanting to eat my feelings today. Instead I watched bad tv and sat with them. Hopefully I will feel a bit less overwhelmed tomorrow.
27/8 127.8kg
Finally got out of the house today, I haven't been out since Wednesday last week. Still really stressed.
28/8 128.4kg
A big bounce today. Our tap water is brown today, so takeaway for dinner. Still trying for higher protein choices, and only had half the mashed potato.
29/8 128.0kg
Nice to see that the bounce was short lived. Went swimming with the kids this morning, which was awesome. The pool had been closed since March, and I had definitely been missing it.
30/8 127.9kg
Today, after 3 weeks and 1 day, my trend hit my "in 5 weeks" goal that I got on the first day. I am also feeling all the muscles that I haven't used in months while the pool was closed. I will try to get back there tomorrow.
31/8 127.6kg
Got back to the pool today. It was a bit interrupted, but it is really nice to be back. Overdid the carbs a bit at dinner.
1/9 127.5kg <-- Yay, goals
My legs are so stiff today. Hopefully it will shake out as I get used to going back to the pool regularly. I still need to find out a way of dealing with my stress, as it isn't healthy.
2/9 127.4kg
Today was a constant struggle to make good choices. Eating out, with limited choices. I tried to make the best of it, but I am feeling sluggish tonight.
3/9 127.6kg
Yesteday I drunk way more water than usual, so I am not surprised at the bump. Just sad that it happened on the last day of the round.
Total loss this round: 0.9kg5 -

Round 124
My Round 2!
Jillian Age 34 and 5'1"
HSW: 179.8
CSW: 176.4
GW: 130
RGW: 173 and increase exercise session length
Round 123 (1): 179.8 to 176.4 (-3.4)
🏃 08/25:174.6 So far so good! I didn't expect things to go so well so quickly. I am happy. I am staying within my calorie limits and it seems like 1400 is just fine along with lots of water. I am playing Ring Fit Adventure everyday. It is very fun. Even though the actual exercises are in short bursts, they are intense enough to give me a good workout. However, I am so sore today that it will be difficult to make myself workout tonight.
🏃 08/26:174.4 My weight is essentially the same, but today is a different sort of victory because I finally lost whatever water weight made me lose drastically in the first few days. I had 5 pounds of it! The other success is that starting all of this daily exercise is making me feel really great. My energy is up and I am enjoying life. I stayed within calorie limits as well and tried to drink more water. My exercise for yesterday was Just Dance 2020 on the Switch. I danced for 50 minutes, which estimated my calories burned at 311.61, but I am a wild dancer, so I suspect it was more. 😂
🏃 08/27:174.4 I am staying steady, so I won't let myself get discouraged. I know I should be losing based on my activity and calorie intake, but I know it will come off over time. I just need to be patient! I played Ring Fit Adventure yesterday. Today, I am going to play Just Dance 2020 for an hour. I am also going to download a free Jump Rope game on the Switch and try to add that to my mornings starting tomorrow. Right now, just getting into habits are key.
🏃 08/28:175.8 Even though I stayed below my calorie limit and exercised, I had consumed a massive amount of sodium due to a combination of tortilla soup and ramen. Lmao. This was definitely water weight. I will keep a closer eye on my sodium intake from now on.
🏃 08/29:174.0 I didn't make it to any exercise yesterday, but stayed below both my calorie count and my sodium count. Today, I will play my fitness games on my switch.
🏃 08/30:173.2 I'm happy to see this drop even though I again didn't play my fitness games. It seems like I am still reaping the rewards from my previous workouts. It looks like I will probably surpass my weight goal for this round!
🏃 08/31:172.8 Hooray! I'm very thankful to whomever started these challenge rounds because I know they are the main reason I am able to stay on track with logging my meals and exercising. It would feel really great even if I weren't losing, but the drops are a definite bonus. I was able to play Ring Fit Adventure. I also started the free 100 Day Jump Rope challenge. It hardly takes any time, so that one should be daily even if I don't get any other exercise in.
🏃 09/01: 171.8 That's fantastic. I didn't work out yesterday, but I stayed within my calorie goal. Food tracking and being active are definitely the reason I am making progress. However, I am starting to believe that having quit alcohol for the past six months as of this date might also be helping.
🏃 09/02: 170.8 The number just keeps on falling! There was still no exercise today, but I'm plenty sore from previous workouts still. It is unlikely that I'll lose tomorrow, however, because of dinner tonight. I ate lots of sushi with only a passing estimation that the meal was within my calories. It was so delicious! It would be worth taking a hit on one day. The real victory here is that I considered having some ice cream after and fought that thought successfully in knowning that I have no calories left in my log for it.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 145.4 I haven't really lost anything in days, and I feel a spike coming on. Maybe a big one. Why is it so hard to get motivated right now?
08/26 146.0 Setting out all my water for the day in advance. Going to acknowledge that I am having a problem with sugar binges so I can get to work on it. If anyone has tips, I'd welcome them! I almost feel like I must be deficient in some vitamins/minerals because these cravings are strong.
08/27 144.8 What worked for me yesterday: (1) setting out my water in advance and DRINKING it (half with Crystal Light). (2) Actually logging my food and staying in my calorie limit. I haven't cleaned up what I'm eating terribly much, but every day I remain in my calorie limit is a win (and maybe a loss- the good kind!).
08/28 145.4 Ah, well, my trend line is still spiking down, so I'm not having anxiety over these little bobbles.
08/29 145.4 Again.
08/30 145.4

09/01 147.4 I *so* didn't want to get on the scale today. We had a death in the family yesterday- my husband's mother died after being in hospice care for while- and we did some major stress eating. I expect the next couple of days to be equally stressful and I'm going to do my best, but I'm not ending this challenge with a loss for sure.
09/02 147.4 Maintaining is better than gaining! Thank you again to everyone who has sent their condolences, I appreciate it so much!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 - 144.5
08/26 - 145 - Calories have been good, so I'm hoping this is just some water retention.
08/27 - 144.5 - OK, I'm trending lower this week.
08/28 - 145.5 - Sigh. I've tracked my food all week and stayed within weight loss calories. I did start a cardio routine this week, so I'm hoping this is some DOMS. Also, I've been eating watermelon which, although low in calories, is high in sugar and carbs. I have a patio birthday party for my daughter on Sunday and my husband is making meatball subs for supper tonight, so I'm going to have to really watch what I eat the rest of the weekend along with drinking ALL the water.
08/29 - 144.5 - I did not want to weigh this morning. I woke up with swollen fingers from the sodium last night. I was so surprised when I saw my weight I checked again on my other scale. The watermelon and meatballs are all gone now and I'll just plan for a cupcake at my daughter's party tomorrow.
08/30 - 142.5 - Well, whoosh! I've been at this long enough to know it will bounce back up, but this really helps my trend line.
08/31 - 143.5 - It's all good, today I'll be carefully tracking my food and drinking water.
09/01 - 143.5 - I'm very happy this stuck today.
09/02 - 143.5 - If I can hold on here for another day, I'll be down a pound for the round. Water, water, water.
09/03 - 143 - Woohoo!

09/03 - 153.4 - Only 0.2 from goal, I'll take it! I missed lunch yesterday so a tiny breakfast (that did not fill me up) and then continued fasting left me a bit on the lazy/tired side. Then pizza for dinner (surprise) and I ate to my heart's content. I was concerned about today's weigh in, but I kept all the pizza within calories but enough that I didn't go too far under and didn't eat back my workout calories. Also upped the water and drank over goal, including plenty after dinner to help flush some of those carbs away. We had rain here for the majority of the day so my walk was after dinner (I'm sure that helped move it through my system, too) but I got it in! Missed my steps goal by only about 600steps, though.
Previous Day's Comments08/25 - Quite alright. Starting off with a sodium bump. BF made dinner last night and apparently the flow restriction top of the worcestershire sauce came off while he was adding it, only to dump a bit too much in there and could taste the extra saltiness of it. Focusing on water today, again, and finding activity to get moving. Didn't sleep well at all, though my fitbit says I had the best sleep in a long while. Obviously false as it read I was in "REM" but I definitely looked at the time and was awake during that period. Hoping I can wake up fully and enough to not be lazy and dragging all day.
08/26 - Little tick down. Dinner was a bit heavy, taco bell recreations. Surprised I dropped any at all. Water wasn't too great and no activity. Work got really crazy and I have a feeling work is going to get crazy again today but I have a workout date with Fam this morning to offset the madness.
08/27 - Yay, another drop and now at goal weight for the round -- challenge is to keep it at or under this. Today is my Friday since I don't work Fridays and therefore a nice long weekend to screw things up if I'm not careful/diligent. I ALMOST reached my goal for water but also gave myself a bit of a stomach ache with all the water I was drinking after a very filling dinner. Plus, I didn't want to have to wake up and use the bathroom. I have issues with insomnia enough without bodily functions adding to it. Goal is to get a walk in today.
08/28 - Whoosh! That was entirely unexpected, especially since I went back for seconds on the homemade chicken tikka marsala at dinner. First round was with some basmati rice, second was toned down with just the chicken in sauce/gravy. But, as usual with Indian food, I figured I'd gain. Guess it wasn't as calorie-laden as I thought(I looked up various recipes for it online and averaged them for dinner)? My estimated calories were barely under goal and I didn't end up getting the walk in I wanted due to work being hectic so I'm really surprised. Just barely hit my goal of 4 water bottles (16.4oz steel bottle - Save the Earth!) but I need to find a way to sneak in an extra 10oz to hit my rounded half-body weight in oz goal. Just happy I was able to get the 4 bottles in finally [insert happy dance]! Let's see if I can get through the weekend and maintain. Back on my IF attempt (its so hard to do on weekends and today is part of my weekend).
08/29 - Not unexpected. Dinner out due to a sudden change in plans and it was very carby. Also cheesy so that induced bloating due to my sensitivity to lactose. Also a couple beers over the day instead of my usual 1 with dinner. Missed my 64oz water goal by about 7oz. All good, as long as I can overcome it through the remainder of the weekend.
08/30 - Dehydration water retention. Unexpected trip to the river to beat the heat in some water. Besides my body holding on to water from being in it for hours, I didn't have much water to drink. My one water bottle emptied quickly and only a couple cans of sparkling water were brought (I was told there was water, just not told there was very little and we had 2 young kids that need it, too). Didn't have much at all breakfast wise, was still a bit hungry after my small on the go. Lunch was nonexistent so almonds and beer nuts at the river was all I had to snack on. Dinner was large homemade beef and venison burgers which made me feel quite heavy and full. At least I don't feel overly bloated, just waterlogged. Hopefully that means a nice quick drop once I drink enough water -- focusing on that today. Going to attempt to replant my veggies in my raised garden bed today. Right now they're sitting in pots inside the garden bed. Storms last weekend prevented me from getting it done, but it desperately needs it.
08/31 - Ouch... As much as I tried drinking water yesterday, I couldn't keep up. We cleaned out the garage, got rid of stuff. Had to reorganize the shed to fit stuff from garage into shed. BF trying to convert his garage into his office so we can get a dining room table before kids get back to visit. Also found a nice window AC unit for the garage last night on the town's facebook garage sale page -- hopefully it works! Could've come in handy during the day... Triple digits plus the hotbox that is the garage did not bode well for my already slightly dehydrated self. Prior to that, I went out and FINALLY planted my veggies in the raised bed from pots. That was not an easy feat by myself AT ALL. I felt sick to my stomach with how much water I was drinking during breaks but still ended up dehydrated. Today should be fairly simple to get back on track. Not sure dinner plans yet, but I'm on my own for "breakfast" and lunch. I'm still trying for IF until 11 but I don't eat lunch until about 2 so it holds me over until dinner, otherwise I get hangry and nauseous. Will be tracking today to ensure I'm in the green.
09/01 - On my way back down. We got ourselves a new project car (BF has wanted another classic bug for years) so spent the entire afternoon sweating in the sun. Water wasn't great, but I did my best with some payoff in weight. Today possibly more work on it between meetings. I'm okay with it, I grew up working on cars and gives me something physical to do outdoors. Just need to take more breaks in the AC so I don't feel so ick drinking so much water in the heat (its easy for me to get hot enough to not eat and it seems water will also make me feel a little uneasy if I'm too hot). Hoping I can drop back down in the next couple days!
09/02 - So that infographic about fat cells and you gain before a whoosh? I'm reaaaaally hoping this is it. I hit my water goal yesterday, was pretty good with food, only over 38 cals (and it felt like not a lot of food, I was quite hungry almost all day). Took 2 walks. I don't know what else it could be.

08/26 194.8 Woosh! I think I was holding onto some water for a few days.
08/27 193.4 My goal for today is to get better with water intake. I've been slacking a little. I'm still not drinking soda though!
08/28 193.4 I did great with water yesterday. On track to do pretty good today as well. Happy Friday! Hope you all have a great weekend.
08/29 193.6 I haven't been making great food choices the last few days but I haven't gone over my calories. Lots and lots of carbs though. My feet are swollen and feel like they're going to bust open. I'm guessing because my overkill of carbs?? So today my goal is watch my macros as much as my calories.
08/30 194.0 I did good yesterday with carbs, sodium, calories, and water. My feet aren't as swollen today either. I dont like seeing that bump but I'm hoping its normal fluctuations. We are headed to our lake lot today to get some work done so I should burn a lot. Happy sunday!
08/31 194.4 I dont like the way the scale is going!
09/01 193.6 So the scale went down a little but my hands and feet are swollen again today. This past few days have been frustrating! Going to stick to it though, and not give up. Happy September!! I love this month
09/02 192.2 I was happy to see that number!
09/03 192.0 Very happy to end with this! A little under my goal weight for the challenge.

08/29 173.6 lbs still going in the wrong direction! However, my scales show my body fat percentage and that is going down so I think it must be water weight. I had a bottle of sparkling water yesterday and I think that has a lot of sodium in it. Libra keeps moving my goal date a month at a time!
08/30 173.2 lbs
08/31 173.2 lbs I'm hoping for at least a .4 drop by Wednesday
09/01 173.2 lbs 3 days at the same weight. When I started again, Libra estimated I'd reach my goal in December this year. During this round I've gone from April to November 21. I did 9000 steps yesterday and 6000 already today before weighing in.
I'm not even eating my exercise calories!
09/02 173.0 lbs. 5500 steps today before weighing in. Didn't eat exercise calories yesterday. And now Libra says I'll get to my goal weight in January 2022!!?
09/03 172.8 lbs A day late, but I've dropped that .4. I've amended my settings in Libra to look at my the last month when calculating when I will reach my goal. I didn't like the changes it was showing when I was looking back only a week.

08/25 231.8 Though I walked 3.36 miles yesterday morning my Apple watch did NOT consider it exercise LOL Stopping to talk to neighbors, dog potty, dropping off book at library, light at intersection and not using pause on the watch when stopping … I guess it thinks I strolled too much. Overall I did get 12300 steps total yesterday. Today I must walk more purposefully!
08/26 231.2 3 mile walk but ran into friends again … some decided to walk with me. A couple of glasses of wine with dinner. Broke my dry spell this month.
08/27 231.2 Walked 3 miles, biked, gardened/digging, hand weights … still seem to be stuck around 231. Hoping to drop into the 20s soon!
08/28 231.5 Only I Can Change My Life, No One Can Do It For Me
08/29 231.2 On target every day this week with tracking calories & carbs, no snacking between meals or after dinner, exercise, and water. My body must just love this number ... been here many times over the past 5 years and it is like a comforting place for the scale or something. I'm not giving up ... going to push through this time around!
08/30 230.0 Yeah! I broke through after 7 days. Note to self: Don’t let a temporary plateau play mind games with you when you know that you are not cheating but the scale is not moving.
08/31 230.3 Walked 5 miles yesterday. I have 6 more to do today in order to hit by 100 miles in August target. I can do this!
09/01 230.3 Success! Down 11 pounds for August. Created many better habits in August … tracking my food, water, vitamins, walking, less alcohol, strength training, no snacking. Finished walking 100 miles in August. Now to walk and repeat all these good habits for September.
09/02 230.2 The colorful visuals in the morning & at night for reflection in my new journal created in August really helped keep me focused. Love my section on reasons and sayings. Setup up my September habits diagram again for tracking stepping on scale, water, exercise, alcohol free, tracking food, & vitamins. Additional focuses and sections breaking out specific exercise goals for September for walking, bike, planks, hand weights and yoga.
09/03 229.3 Whoosh! My toes are in the 220s! We bailed on cooking at home and decided to go out to dinner (only 2nd time since this pandemic). Lettuce wrap burger with 2 glasses of wine (no fries or onion rings!) at our favorite little place.10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
8/25 - 169.7 Trying not to get too excited. Each oz in a lb. seems to have a mind of its own lately. Each taking turns hopping up and down like evil bouncy balls. (After I wrote this I got a mental image of what 16 of those balls released all at once might look like--cracked me up! I'm just weird like that.)
8/26 - 168.7 Keeping this loss to the end of this round will be my new R124 goal. Thinking it will still be a challenge.
8/27 - 169.3 Not sweating the small bounces. Determined to keep the 7 out of the second position. So, 30 minutes after I posted this, my daughter delivers a Starbucks Bacon Gouda and Vente Pumpkin Spice Coffee. Bless.Her.Heart. Going to enjoy every sip/bite. Still determined ... no 7 in the second position! I let you know how I compensate for this once I figure it out. lol
8/28 - 169.1 Earned 790 calories by walking that I did not eat back. Walked wildly (Side steps and in place) during a virtual team meeting instead of sitting all day which added nearly 2,500 of 14,000 steps. I may have started a new virtual meeting habit!
8/29 - 169.8
8/30 - 169.5
8/31 - 169 16,500+ steps yesterday, not a record but pretty happy
9/01 - 168.2 Fortunately I already brushed my teeth when the hubs thought we should have a banana split. I did make one for him and it looked amazing! Think I enjoyed it more through his smile than if I would have had one myself.
9/02 - 167.9
9/03 -168.7 Even though I popped up a bit from yesterday, I was glad to see the 7 in the third position at least once this round. Makes it my goal for round 125.

Hi friends, so glad this thread is always here when I can get my act together.
Goals this round, to lose 1 pound.
Day/Weight/Comment
08/25 193.4 estimated total calories: 1505
08/26 193.4 I have to take a break from running due to stupid plantar faciitis which is super depressing. BUT I'm doing a 30 day no alcohol challenge and I'm interested to see if that makes it easier to lose. So far I miss my glass of wine while cooking but some days are easier than others. I am going to try to get back into lifting at the gym since I can't run, I tried the elliptical on Monday but foot hurt for two days after so probably gonna give that one some more time still. Calorie goal: 1400
08/27 194.0 well the scale was up today, but my BF % was down so that means there's a little water weight hanging around . I'm still on a downward trend and getting ready for TOM so a momentary blip is expected. Still sleeping in the dreaded night splint, I had less foot pain today so maybe I can hit the gym tomorrow and avoid a flare up. Calories were over yesterday by 400 due to chocolate snack after dinner, did I mention TOM? Upping the water today.
08/28 193.2 drinking my water, still giving my foot a break from any stress. I don't have a plan for dinner tonight which isn't good, bc that means I want to stand in the pantry and eat snack (not helpful, I know! ) better come up with one before I get too hungry!
08/29 192.4 I felt very happy to see this number on the scale after many days higher. Let's hope it sticks around and isn't destroyed by my salty lunch today, bc I'm on track to stay around 1200 calories - missed breakfast (accidentally), split chicken fajitas with a friend and brought leftovers home for the hubs, and just a little yogurt with fruit for dinner.
08/30 192.0 haven't been here since early July so this seems great progress. hoping for another little drop tomorrow! total calories today 1224
08/31 191.8 looks good to me.
09/01 191.8 stayed close to my calorie target again today but a bit short on water.
09/02 192.0 again, lets hope it sticks or goes lower so I can finish the round strong! I ordered a vegan cookbook yesterday, I'm trying to get some new healthy (supposedly this one does not use processed ingredients) recipes that are vegetable based. Good reviews on Amazon and all the meals are 250-400 calories. It's called Appetite for Reduction.. hopefully it will spice things up a bit!
09/03 191.6 I call it a win for this round! Very happy to get the ball rolling (finally!) here's to keeping it going in the next one~8
