Day, Weight, Comment
2/21 – 200.8 – 13,484 steps, 30 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. Results on the scale haven’t been fabulous the last couple of weeks, but I’m definitely feeling stronger. A new interval workout I started about 3-4 weeks ago was nearly impossible at first but relatively easy now. Today we’re going cross-country skiing, so I will be hungry. I think it’s a good trade-off. I will be mindful of what I’m eating today and try to keep the day’s calories down by skipping dinner.
2/22 – 201.6 – 19,686 steps yesterday, cross country skiing. Focusing today on eating mindfully. Today’s plan is fruits and veggies only until dinner. Small portion at dinner.
2/23 – 201.8 – 10,572 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. Getting ready to go skiing today and feeling really down about how fat I am. I doubt I’ll be able to do it and I’ll look like a giant hippo out there. Hopefully won’t break the chair lift or my leg. Can’t fit into last season’s pants or jacket. Really don’t want to do this but we already have the ticket. Going to work on my confidence this morning and pushing past all the negative feelings.
2/24 – 201.8 – 10,360 steps, 10 min weights, downhill skiing yesterday. Well, I did it, even though I was convinced I couldn’t and shouldn’t. I didn’t last very long and could only do the easiest runs – and today muscles I didn’t know I had are sore. I’m really too heavy to do too much downhill skiing, but it’s a good motivator to get in shape and I love doing it even if I’m terrible and look like an uncoordinated hippo on the mountain. We plan to go again on Sunday. Tired of this plateau (which is completely of my own making). I’ve had trouble fitting 24-hour fasts in the last couple of weeks. I will plan for one tomorrow and be mindful of my eating today: no eating at the cupboard, no eating at the counter, no trail mix, fruit and veggies only during the day before dinner.
2/25 – 201.4 – 10,547 steps, 30 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. Woo-hoo! Excited to be moving in the right direction finally. Will work on keeping the momentum going today.
2/26 – 198.2 – 19,029 steps, 40 min aerobics yesterday. Down a little because I fasted yesterday. Hope to keep the momentum going! Feeling good because I finally got a job interview – just a phone interview, but it’s a start. I was really feeling defeated. Focus on eating mindfully as always. Off to walk the dogs.
2/27 – 199.8 – 10,200 steps, 20 min aerobics, 10 min weights yesterday. My hope at this point is to at least end this round under 200. Please, self, give me the strength to be disciplined with my eating for the next three days. It’s tough on the weekends when I’m doing challenging outdoor activities that use a lot of energy. Balance, grasshopper. Balance.
2/28 – 199.8 – 12,556 steps yesterday. Feeling a bit under the weather today.
3/01
3/02 – 199.6 – 13,001 steps yesterday. Well, I’ve had the same goal for two rounds now and I guess I’ll make it a third. I’m learning that I really have to be disciplined every day and I need to work on how and when I eat so that I end up with a deficit and am able to lose. Still keeping up my 10,000 step streak and feeling healthier, but it’s hard not to let this plateau get me down. Momentum is so important. Hope to see some results next round.

CW: 181.8 / 82.5
Next goal: Lose 6lbs by St Patrick's Day Challenge
Aims: Focus on sleep- Try to sleep 5 hours a night - time it.
02/20 = 82.502/26 = 82.5 Halfway
02/21 = 82.8
So many snacks while half asleep yesterday that I couldn't even remember them all *sigh*
A disturbed five hours of sleep last night but that's better than the last few days.
Still, this used to be my normal every day, Baby Steps.
02/22 = DNW
Fox got in with my chicks early, early. We lost one and I spent the morning building better defenses.
Forgot to weigh in.
Sleep? what was that again?
02/23 = 82.2
A solid three hours sleep last night. heading in the right direction! (Not a lot on today, might fit a nap in this afternoon)
82g carbs
02/24 = 82
I had a mega (if light) four-hour nap yesterday afternoon, add to that another four hours last night and I'm feeling confident about tonight, come on 5hrs!
89g carbs
02/25 =82.5
I got seven hours of sleep! and while I've got that "overslept" kinda seedy feeling, I know it'll be doing my body good
126g carbs
Six hours of sleep
It would be great if this was a new trend
77g carbs
02/27 = 82.5
Talked myself into taking a maintenance KJ day today but I was probably overreacting, I anticipated that the day was going to be more difficult than it was. Must learn to put more trust in this new way of eating.
Four hours sleep.
Waaaaay more carbs than anyone needs.
02/28 = 82.8
Four hours sleep :tisk:
130+g carbs
Lots of salt yesterday, I'm still thirsty!
03/01 DNW
03/02 DNW
The end of the round already?!
I've conveniently forgotten to do a morning weigh-in
busy, busy with a new job, overeating as I've been arriving home hungry and exhausted in the evenings.
TMI: Stress and dehydration seem to be halting elimination right now, hope it's set to rights asap.

Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205
Goal for this round is to have a lower average that last round. I have a lot of work to do to get back to where I was last August.
Need to get some form of exercise kick started.
I have a trip planned for May that will be a good inspirational milestone.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
Round 142
Month/Day: Exercise / Comment
02/21: 213.4
Was a bit over on calories yesterday, and did a very light session with dumbbells working on range of motion mostly.
02/22: 213.2
Pretty quiet day yesterday. Took a walk around the block since the weather was not unbearable.
02/23: 212.6
This loss despite a moment of weakness last night right before bed. Another see-food event.
02/24: 212.6
A rare repeat weight! Better than going up. Trying to chip away. Having a little skin cancer removed from my neck today, so that should really show up on the scale tomorrow. Ha!
02/25: 212.2
It really makes a difference if I pack my own lunch for work instead of launching myself out the door at lunchtime in search of whatever sounds good. Warning to self: they are building a new Arby’s less than a mile from my office right now.
02/26: 212.2
So, my body likes to prove me wrong. I have now had two sets of identical weigh-ins in a row. Some of you may remember my rant about how I don’t know how some of you do that. I will sit down and shut up now. 😊
02/27: 213.2
Take out Chinese does it every time. Holding water like a bottle.
02/28: 213.2
Third set of identical weigh-ins in a row. Karma.
I am surprised the scale stayed at this level. I cooked T-bones on the grill last nice and DW prepared baked potato, asparagus and sautéed mushrooms. Better than a $$$ meal eating out. That is why it is hard for me to order steak when we eat out because I can do it so much better at home. Such a nice day yesterday!
03/01: 213.2
Oooff! Three days in a row! I am happy though. Last night I made an adult decision to choose a turkey wrap in lieu of the frozen pizza offered. Pizza is kryptonite. (even though it has all the food groups in it! Ha!)
03/02: 212.6
Color me happy. 10-day average for this round went down 0.8 and actual weight went down 0.6 from 10 days ago (the last day of the last challenge.)
Still a lot of work to do. See you in 143.

@musicsax So much walking I do (not really much most days) doesn’t count because I’m not moving my arm. I sync my Garmin in the morning and move it to my ankle.3

I went a bit overboard yesterday. No snacks, but big lunch & supper. But it’s ok, I’m striving for averages.
💕 Ever-longer hours of daylight!
2/22 - 183.4 - 1862
2/23 - 183 - 1638
Weird — apparently I didn’t post yesterday, though I remember writing a post and reading many of yours. Hmmm. Maybe I hit Done rather than Save. Whatever! Striving today to lower calories while staying satisfied. More veggies & protein!
💕 Temperature rise — high 30s heading toward the 40s! 🌞
2/24 - 183.2 - 1780
Beautiful sunshiny day, heading to the mid-40s, though there is a sharp wind right now. 🌝 Birds are really active at the nest boxes. 🪶 Spring is getting close! 🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹
💕 Planning the plantings for my new flower beds. Dreaming in color!
2/25 - 182.8 - 1538
That’s better! We had grilled salmon for dinner — yummy & really filling, which kept me satisfied all evening. That’s the trick, methinks!
💕 Watching Mike the cat race around the house like a nut in the morning.
2/26 - 182.8 - 1382
I can’t believe we’re 6 days into this round already. Where does the time go???
💕 Writing at my desk in the very early morning when DH is still asleep. Quiet!
2/27 - 184 - 1786
😳!! Has to be water — yikes. I was a bit over my calorie goal, but even I can’t gain 1.2# of ugly fat in a day. I didn’t notice anything particularly salty yesterday, but I feel puffy (and heavy!) this morning, so.... It’s ok, today’s menu is planned. DH made a big pot of 15-bean soup with veggies, so more of that for supper, and I’m thinking tomato-sprouts-greens-cucumber-hummus sandwich for lunch. Mmmmmm. Also, it’s supposed to get to 50 this afternoon — raining now, but that’s supposed to end, so I’m planning a nice walk. 👟 Happy Saturday, all!
💕 The trickling sound of the aerator in the fish tank.
2/28 - 183 - 1686
Wow — seems like Feb. just started. It’s been a month! 🌘🌗🌖🌕🌒🌓🌔 It’s a rainy, gray morning here, but supposed to be in the high 50sF this afternoon, so yay! As Spring approaches, I’m feeling energized. 💐
💕 Being 7 rows from finishing a blanket I’ve been knitting. 🧶
3/01 - 182.8 - 1631
Happy March, everyone! Yesterday was a good day, though slightly more calories than planned. I finished knitting my blankie, which I started Dec. 31. Colors are a bit more vibrant than they look here, but you get the idea. I wonder how many calories knitting burns.... 🤓
3/02 - 183.2 - 1400
I hate when calories go down but weight pops up. Time lag. Oh well.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

2/28 122.0. WOW! The Chinese was food but not THAT good! This is the result of a crap load of refined carbs. Friend who my DH goes to lunch with will be home Tuesday evening-I hope they go to lunch on Wednesday so I can fast! I haven’t been this weight since 6/24/20. Need to remind myself that I am still below my WW goal from 1985.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/20 …..205.0 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/21 …..205.0 ….. I made horrible choices yesterday eating on the grab from within my home. Calories were okay but the carbs were through the roof and contained very little nutritional value. I hope to make better choices today. I definitely need more protein today. Thankful for no weight gain.
02/22 …..207.2 ….. It was only ice cream and I skipped a meal for it! Yo-Yo. Disgusted! Now I will spend this entire round just trying to get back to starting weight. Why, oh why, oh why????
02/23 …..207.2 ….. I got nothing.
02/24 …..207.5 ….. Chinese food yesterday. I will have the leftovers today. I have taught myself to cut the meal into two meals, but sodium is sodium. We are in the heaviest part of winter right now. I can’t wait until May when it is no longer slippery and I can get outside! I miss taking my walks and hiking when I have a companion that will go (for safety). Come on Spring!
02/25 …..207.5 ….. I finished the Chinese food yesterday. I didn’t drink as much water as planned so I will push water today. I hope to get in some extra movement today in the house. The workers are only working a partial day.
02/26 …..207.2 ….. A very low cal dinner last night helped nudge me in the right direction on the scale this morning.
02/27 …..207.6 ….. Amish sour dough bread showed up on the scale. At another member’s suggestion, I have started using my very steep stairs as a form of exercise while my workers are here. I can only go up & down once at a time right now without getting winded or messing up my knees, but I plan on building up some resistance and eventually getting in more at a time. In the meantime, off & on all day is a start to something better! I wish spring was just around the corner, but where I live it is not. Patience is a virtue!
02/28 …..207.0 ….. That’s more like it.
03/01 …..206.6 ….. Spring in northern Michigan begins in May. Planting begins June 1st. Still a lot of winter left here. As a fall risk, I can’t get out on my walks but I did fit in about 20 minutes of dancing last night.
03/02 …..207.4 ….. Late night snacks while watching episode 2 of “Allen vs Farrow”. I had milk with the snacks and that does me in EVERY time. Not a good way to end the round, but I was going to be up from starting weight even if I stood on my head all night after completing the entire Richard Simmons boxed set so….. Well I guess I will see you all in the next round! @CamandJarvis I am so happy to hear all went well with the surgery. Glad to have you back!
03/01 – 11,051 Steps yesterday. The most steps in a very long time. Certainly the most since my retirement!
03/02 - 6,181 Steps yesterday. It was a busy day with the remodel. Full house.3 -
Good Afternoon!
First round, total newbie on the myfitnesspal community. On the final push to lose 3 more kgs, to get to my absolute goal weight. It seems so close and but also sooo far at the same time.
SW: 56,6kg
GW:55,6
Day/Weight/Comment
02/21 56, 4 - a lot of mindless overeating at Sunday family dinner + a whole bar of chocolate. Caused the weight gain on Monday morning. Back on track and back focused know with this challenge
02/22 56,6 - gain due to Sunday eating.
02/23 56,25 - had a perfect macro/ eating day yesterday & it already shows. Also starting to pre-plan my days more consistently again, so I don't just leave it to my willpower.
02/24 56,95 - so frustrated. did not post yesterday because of it. I totally binged eating with my roommates.
02/25 56,40 - because of my binge the day before I still binged yesterday. It was a total self-sabotaging 'whatever, it will never work, I can just quit now'-moment. But I don't want to quit. I really don't want to fall down that rabbit hole. But it has been increasingly hard to stay motivated. I planned out my day for today. I will show up better for tomorrows.
02/26 56,40 - Same as yesterday. Calorie & workout wise yesterday was nearly perfect. I did however eat quite a lot of sugar and salt, so maybe that has an effect. I do however feel great in my body today look wise. Motivation is quite high again to finish this 10-days strong!
02/27 56,05 - YEES! This feels so good! I sticked to my calories so well & I also got my 10k steps in (which has been so hard due to my studying schedule). Also I want to say THANK YOU! I just yesterday saw your likes on my post from the 25th. And tbh I felt so good knowing that there are people out there knowing about my struggle and also showing up. So my motivation to keep going is so high!
02/28 56,00 - another super small move, but still! Yesterday I encountered one of my constant struggles with weight loss: I ate my dinner, felt satisfied, full & really loved it, was perfectly within my calories. Then my housemate comes along and eats after me (I cooked for her too, she was still in a meeting). And then I feel obligated to eat more with her. I know she is not very fond of my journey (I guess mainly because she struggles with her weight too) and so I feel like I need to eat more. So that kinda annoyed me a lot, why I always have to adapt my plan for others to feel more comfortable... But I guess due to my workout it still did not get me to go way over my calories.
03/01 55,85 - juhu! I feel like this move is just due to my lack of water drinking yesterday but I am still very excited to be under the 56kg mark, which is always such a turning point for me. Honestly during this challenge I was worried if I'd ever make it below it again. I do feel slightly worried though: Tonight I am meeting a friend of mine (we get tested before) and with her it's always a movie night + snacks: M&Ms especially. I looove them, but they are just so high in calories. I'm worried about how I will approach that situation..
03/02 55,9 - I did it! I actually did not reach my goal weight, but I finished my first round and for consistently posting and not giving up I am already very proud of myself. There were multiple occasions the past days where choose the healthier option, because I had this challenge in mind. As for the M&Ms yesterday: we opted for ice cream and quuite some white wine. I did however adapt my calories during the day and also walked more.
Only question left: when does the next round start? Because I'm in & I'm already looking forward to reading from all of your journeys to a healthier & more mindful lifestyle 5 -

Round 142
Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 128.2
GW: 125
GW for this round: 126.5
Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
Round 136 (11): 133.6 to 133.2 (-0.4 lbs)
Round 137 (12): 133.2 to 131.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 138 (13): 131.8 to 130.2 (-1.6 lbs)
Round 139 (14): 130.2 to 128.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 140 (15): 128.8 to 127.4 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 141 (16): 127.4 to 128.2 (+0.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- No excuses - ONE maintenance day (having our pod-family over tomorrow for a mini-party for my son). I will keep a calorie deficit all other days this round.
- Addendum to the first goal: improve my calorie tracking and weighing. No more fudging and estimating or leaving anything off.
- Add an evening snack to my meal plan to prevent late-night binges.
2/21 - 127.2 - Where was this number yesterday when I ended the last round? 😂. Glad to get back on track - hopefully I can keep going down from here. Today is my only allowed “maintenance” day this round - we are having the other family in our pod over for a backyard bbq as a little birthday party. I’m going to try and stay in a calorie deficit for the day, but I’m ok with going up to maintenance. Yesterday’s calories were 1764 (my goal is 1700) - I’m going to start recording my calories for the prior day here to help keep me accountable.
2/22 - 127.0 - 2,111 total calories yesterday. High, but my Apple Watch had me at 2,213 for the day so I did manage to stay at maintenance. I tried to be as honest as I could with recording what I ate, though I didn’t weigh my food during the party. Now I’ve had my one day off - 500+ calorie deficit is my aim for every day the rest of the round.
2/23 - 127.2 - 1,789 calories yesterday - a little higher than I wanted, but I also took the kids to the park (a 1.5 mile round trip) and we played a lot of chase and were kicking the soccer ball around so my active calories were a little higher than usual too. Unrelated to weight loss - I got my daughter registered for kindergarten and my son signed up for a preschool program yesterday! I am just hoping so so hard that our area will be in a place where it is safe for them to go to school in-person this fall. It will help both of them so much (and I’ve got to admit that even just 2 hours twice a week completely kid-free sounds WONDERFUL to me!)
2/24 - 126.4 - 1704 calories - Ok, now I’m finally feeling back on track. Going by past drops, I’ll probably go back up a bit the next day or two, but hopefully I can keep the overall downward trend. I’m trying to decide now whether I want to make 120 my new goal weight after 125, or if I want to switch to eating at maintenance and increasing my strength training to focus more on building/toning.
2/25 - 126.8 - 1697 calories - I’m very happy to see the 126 again! Had a good day yesterday in terms of sticking to my meal plan; it was board game night for me and my husband and I was careful to save calories for a drink and cheese crackers. Didn’t sleep well though - had a lot of trouble falling asleep and then woke early. I’m hoping coffee and breakfast will help since I’m still feeling foggy and both kids are already going 100 mph.
2/26 - 126.8 - 1727 calories - No movement down, but at least it didn’t go back up again. I had to take my son to his 2 year appointment at the pediatrician this morning; he’s perfect and healthy but he did NOT want anything to do with getting weighed and measured there! They finally had me step on the scale, get my weight, and then pick him up and weigh again to find his from the difference. Now, my weight was higher than usual since I’d just eaten and was wearing a jacket, clothes and tennis shoes - but it was still only 130. Just realizing that it would have been around 170 if this had been needed at his last appointment (and I would have been so reluctant to do it) really impacted me. My weight today PLUS my 32 lb 2 year old is LESS than I alone was a year ago! What a difference a year (with 6 solid months of weight loss) can make!
2/27 - 126.8 - 1916 calories - Another one of those days where I just wanted all the carbs and still felt hungry no matter what I ate. I fully expected the scale to be up this morning, so I’m fine with holding at 126.8. While I let myself go above my planned calories, I did at least stick to a deficit.
2/28 - 125.8 - 1745 calories - Ahhhh! I was so excited to see the 125 on the scale this morning. I don’t think I’ll get there this round - I think TOM is about to start - but there is a chance I can hit my goal weight of 125 next round!
3/1 - 126.2 - 1984 calories - Yes, it’s high calories again, but in addition to my regular HIIT workout, I did a 4.5+ mile hike over big hills (while pushing a jogging stroller) yesterday. My watch had my total calories for the day at 2,600 instead of the 2,200 I normally see, so I feel ok with going a little higher than normal on my calories. I think the scale bounce is from my (very sore!!) muscles holding on to water after the intense workout. Will flush it out with lots of water today!
3/2 - 125.8 - 1747 calories - Really happy to see that 125 again! Such a better round this time than last round, but that’s because I stuck to my meal plans and calorie deficits. I’m guessing water weight and hormone timing had something to do with it as well - if I go from the first day of this round rather than the last day of the previous round I’d have lost 0.2 last round and 1.4 this round which is a more reasonable trend. If I can keep this up I’ll hit my goal weight next round!

Exercise Goal for this round: Bike 2x, Walk 8x, Plank 8x
🎯Mini Goal: 208
I let the winter storm issues really mess up my weight loss success last week. The 205-206 slipped away and I'm back up where I was at the beginning of 2021. Time to turn this boat around.
I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.
Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
2/21 211.9 Walk 3 miles. 2506 cal, 316 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. My weight has gotten out of control. Today I’m going to focus on just one thing … 80 oz water. Then plan to build from there each day this week.
2/22 211.7 Walk 3 miles. 2045 cal, 136 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Targeting 80 oz water but drank 64 oz water yesterday. Today’s focus low net carbs along with water again.
2/23 211.9 Walk 4 miles. 1778 cal, 45 net carbs, AF. Drank 80 oz water, nailed net carbs. Today I add vitamins on top of getting my 2nd COVID vaccine.
2/24 209.6 Walk 3.4 + .6 miles. 1550 cal, 61 net carbs, AF. Very rough night … headache, arm sore, chills/shivering, achy all over, little to no sleep. Going to try to push through it today and walk the dog but likely will be back in bed trying to sleep later today.
2/25 208.1 Walk .6 miles, gardened a little, 1754 cal, 132 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Slept! Long morning & afternoon naps. Think I’m fully recovered. Weight is also shedding those winter storm pounds.
2/26 208.8 @ fishing camp 🎣 No exercise, long drive to camp, 1937 cal, 107 net carbs, 4 glasses wine. Plan to walk, clean the camp house, clean up the plant damage from the freeze, and maybe if I’m lucky fish this afternoon. Mom is getting her COVID vaccine today so I’ll be here to monitor her, cook, etc this weekend. Remembered to bring my scale to the camp!
2/27 207.9 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 + 3.6 miles, deep cleaned camp inside & out, no fishing. Still need to do some gardening. Mom had no symptoms last night after her vaccine. She is just tired.
2/28 208.2 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, more gardening cleanup and fishing but caught nothing (huge kill of fish and turtles out on the laguna after the winter storm). 2024 cal, 93 net carbs (this included mini blue bell ice cream sandwich & small baked potato), 3 glasses of wine.
3/1 208.1 Walked 3.6 miles, long drive in car. 2030 cal, 152 net carb, 2 glasses wine. Two large high carb meals with family.

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.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/21 - 201.2. Had a good day yesterday - went for a 15km walk, had a high rate of burn, and kept calories well under my limit even with a takeaway for dinner and some high calorie biscuits as snacks.
02/22 - 202.6. I always seem to get a bit of a bounce on a Monday after a the weekend. Sunday was good - in theory I could have eaten 4000 cals to stay under my target daily average, but stuck to 2150 calories.
02/23 - 202.8 - yesterday was an ok day. Under calories but not terribly active.
02/24 - 202.4 - well under calorie target yesterday, and had a decent walk. Scales were slightly all over the place this morning. At one point they went up to 203.6, but when I got 202.4 I banked it and logged it
200lbs by next Tuesday feeling a bit unlikely now.
02/25 - 201.6 - another good day yesterday in terms of CICO. But recognising a pattern here: I do well on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; I do ok on Wednesdays and Sundays; and I do poorly on Mondays. Probably because at weekends I allow myself to drink Diet Coke and eat saltier foods, so the effects of that are being felt by Monday.
02/26 - 201.0
02/27 - 200.4. Getting close to goal for this round. But I always seem to rebound a bit after the weekend. Hopefully the trend continues though. Reaching 200lbs would mean losing all my lockdown weight (even if I do still have another 35lbs to go after that milestone).
02/28 201.0 - A little disappointed to go up. Usually Sunday's are good followed by a bit of a bounce on Monday, so disappointed to have my weekly 'bounce' start early.
03/01 - 201.6 - Thought this would be worse actually. I eat back some of the calories that I 'save' at the weekend and allow myself to drink diet fizzy drinks. So even though calories are reasonably controlled, less water and more sodium always seems to produce a bounce on a Monday.
03/02 - 201.6 - This is the first round where I haven't lost anything. 0.4 lb gain isn't dreadful, but disappointed not to have lost anything.5 -
Goals:
- morning stretches
- login all my food intake
- 30min a day workout or 9000 steps.
- stay under calorie budget.

02/22 ...I'm scared to weigh myself but I need to know where I'm at. So that I know where to go from there and hold myself responsible for getting so big, I've let this go on ling enough. I'm a size 15 and in all pictures i see my double chin i look at myself in the mirror and don't even recognize myself anymore.
202.2 Dam smh
So I only had a protein bar for lunch but by 2 I was starving that when I went to the break room I saw donuts and couldn't resist but I only ate half of one and threw the other half away before I could debate about it to myself. By the time I left work again I was starving and figures I would eat the breakfast bar I had brought and that actually helped, my headache went away and I actually had energy to work out when I got home. So now I just finished 30 minutes on the treadmill maybe about 10 mins of it running in total I did 1.45 miles tomorrow I'm going to try and do 1.55 in 30 mins or I'll try and do Julian Michael's video I'll see how I feel tomorrow but definitely doing one of them. Now I am starting to get really hungry I need to control my hunger maybe I'll eat an apple
02/23 199.2 this looks better but not really. My face is huge, I need to get back to were I was and this time really appreciate it. Looks like no work out today but maybe I can do my stretches tonight.
02/24 199.0 I'll take this i was a little scared I would be back at 200 cause I didn't work out yesterday but I really didn't eat much either.
It's really hard to log my food the way I use to but I do feel like I've been managing my calories well despite not logging since I've really only eaten a protein bar all day at work then get home starving
02/25 199.2 Dam how I wish I could go back to 196 mainly because I'm 4 founds from 200 and it's not so scary to go up 1 pound. I m deathly afraid of going above 200 I just can believe I let myself get this big smh. As long as I stay focused I know I can go back down. Well through the unexpected turn of events I had no choice but to buy fast food and at first I thought just a coffee but I binged ate everything taco bell sonic candy so bad I think I gained back the 2 pounds
02/26 I didn't weigh myself today too scared from what I ate yesterday. I'm starting off bad by getting starbucks this morning nonfat and sugar free latte and a cheese danish and Now chick fila small fries lol like if that helps but I'm hoping that if I eat now later i can eat light so my plan will be to go home after work get my water bottle and drink while on the way and back from grocery store
02/27
02/28
03/01 201.4 ok so not completely upset bit not thrilled at all.... i let the ball drop in Thursdays and have been struggling to pick it back up since then .
03/02 200.6 I feel like I did good food wise up until the evening eating enchiladas and then an ice cream cone. I need to stay motivated
3/03 201.4 Dam I new I did bad but didn't think I would go back up I actually did my 20 mins exercise after work and 5 mins abs but after that it went down hill and I ate 4 enchiladas and an ice cream cone. I need to get below 200
