Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 / 191.6 / Yesterday we had dinner out with friends. Glad to see my preplanning and careful eating before we left paid off. I am in a funk today even though the sun is shining. Day isn't going as planned and sometimes that's okay! I am still on track with my eating and exercise.
11/29 / 192.4 / Today was a loooonng day at work! I didn't move for about 10 hours. Oops!
11/30 / 192.2 / Hoping for a better work day today. The weather here is so amazing.. want to get out for my lunchtime walk. It's a great way to split up the day!
12/01 / 192.8 / Snowy day here but I've gotten out for two short walks. Still having a crazy busy week at work. Dinner out tonight with coworkers to celebrate my 15 year anniversary with the company.
12/02 / 192 / Celebratory dinner was nice last night. Got home and watched a movie with my husband versus riding on the Peloton so hoping to get a ride in today. Busy week all around.
12/03 / 192.8 / We volunteered after work yesterday and this morning I got up and PR'd my 45 minute Peloton time. We are off to Canmore to the B&B that we got married at for a night away tonight.
12/04 / 192.4 / Big night of celebration out last night. We walked to the restaurant and back.. 30 mins or so each way.
12/05 / 191.8 / Setting up our Christmas tree today. Yay!

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.

Leftovers in.
11/29: 206.6
Leftovers out. That is crazy. I think my scale was trolling me yesterday.
11/30: 207.2
Having some trouble nursing my discipline back to health. I wounded it during the Thanksgiving holiday.
My first scale reading of this round obliterated any possibility for a decent ten-day average.
I have never been as interested as I am this year about being interested. Caring about caring. Paying attention to paying attention during the holiday season. This makes it difficult to think about the annual office parties, open houses, family gatherings that are all ahead of me. Not to mention the gatherings I don’t even know about yet.
In the past for me, this has been all about the food (including last weekend.) Now, today, I will try to think more about the people I am with. My discipline is not mortally wounded! But, it has an infection.
12/01: 206.2
Steady day. Good exercise.
12/02: 207.4
Open house by one of my consultants this evening. Going to try to at least go lower carb.
12/03: 208.4
I am nothing more than a container that gets filled and emptied. Feeling a little Holiday pressure these days.
12/04: 207.6
12/05: 206.8
Had a quick overnight visit to DD Friday / Saturday. Feels like I should weigh more. It will probably catch up with me in the next couple days.

11/28: 199.8 Back on track and it feels so good! 51 net carbs, only off my step goal by about 200, and a Pelo ride done. Bring on the day!
11/29 198.0 39 net carbs. Started coming down with something yesterday, so I was resting as much as I could and came nowhere near my step goal.
11/30 195.4 Woke up sick, so yesterday was a matter of survival. My carbs were higher than usual, and my steps virtually nonexistent.
12/1 195.6 Another day of not feeling well, but better than the day before. I ate closer to normal yesterday, so the tiny uptick is no surprise. 64 net carbs, but again, nowhere near my step goal. I’ll be back at it soon though!
12/2 196.0 Had a close to normal eating day yesterday, so not surprised to see the number up a little today. I’m slowly recovering from this bug. 55 net carbs, but fell short on steps. Recovery is the name of my game this week.
12/3 195.0 97 net carbs yesterday because of a strong craving for Stromboli. Fell just a little short on steps, but I am recovering some more from this flu or whatever it was that I’ve had all week.
12/4 194.6 61 net carbs. Low on steps, but still not feeling 100% yet, so I’m ok with it.
12/5 194.4 48 net carbs, low on steps again, but it’s all good. Had a snaccident later in the afternoon, but kept the damage to a minimum. On to today!

I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass. My strength programming is 6x/week and I’m considering doing doubles twice a week since it’s so hard to fit in a workout when I leave for work at 6am and get home around 8pm 3x a week.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, avoid added sugars, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), add one day of double strength training per week.
Previous Days11/28 151.2 surprisingly stayed the same weight after the Thanksgiving feast yesterday. Cardio for the day 20 minutes of single arm devils press, overhead walking lunges, and box jumps. Reload week on my strength training programming, but still lots of Bulgarian split squats today (the worst move ever). Meal planned and bought groceries for the week. Dinner was sautéed mushrooms and riced broccoli with a balsamic reduction and baked tofu. Protein: 135g12/5 149.4 Did a power snatch, thruster, rowing workout to get the heart rate up. Started a new cycle on my strength program that kicked it off with a ton of my favorite … Bulgarian split squats 🤪 My mom’s birthday was today and we had a family meal. I didn’t attempt to track it. I declined leftover cake though.
11/29 150.2 woke up with a bit of a head cold, but the weather was lovely! I took a walk, did some a farmers carry step up and rowing workout for some cardio and then a press day for strength. I intended to do double strength today, but felt pretty sickly. Dinner was a bok choy, mushroom, soba stir fry with baked tofu. Protein: 143g
11/30 151.2 still have a cold, but it’s a minor annoyance and not a miserable bug.. Plus it’s during a stretch of 5 days off. Took a walk, did 20 minutes of KB swings, push-ups, wallballs, jump rope, lunges for cardio and then a light pull day. Dinner was spaghetti squash, mushroom, kale, leeks and seitan. Protein: 141
12/1 152.1 cold still lingering but improving. Another day in the 70’s (isn’t it December??), so I’ll take a nice walk. I’ve been double checking my recipes for accuracy since the scale hasn’t been moving but can’t find any discrepancies and I weigh everything to grams 🤷♀️ Rowing, DB snatch, sit-ups for cardio and light leg day for strength. Lunch will be leftovers as always, dinner is roasted cauliflower and chickpeas with a herbed tahini sauce and baked tofu. Protein: 131
12/2 151.8 workday 1/3. Thought the head cold was improving but I had awful sleep and today was rough! Last night’s dinner for lunch. Broccoli edamame fried brown rice and seitan for dinner. Protein: 118
12/3 151.4 workday 2/3. Leftovers for lunch. Roasted eggplant and chickpea pitas with seitan for dinner. Protein: 126
12/4 151.2 workday 3/3. I’m so grateful for my husband who makes whatever recipes I leave for him so that o have good lunches and dinners on my very long days! We have a good leftover lunch/ new dinner cycle going. Roasted carrot and potatoes with lentils and a miso parsley sauce. Protein: 122

Round 170 (102nd for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There is only 27 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 4 pounds for then, that is only 4.5 weeks, a pound a week or 1.4 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and keeping going. Still feeling better about the dress I want to wear next weekend for Peaky Blinders dance night. I need to remain binge free, but at the end of the day – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers keep yo-yoing in England – we reached “freedom day” months ago, but there is still a pandemic, and now a new variant: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 135.2 – only managed 3.56 miles yesterday, Storm Arwen stopped me ! Snow, sleet, high winds which were icy cold – bbrrrrr, hence day was over on calories & carbs & weight!
11/29 133.8 – pleasantly surprised by this number after a high carb low mileage weekend, but will take it! Again wintery weather was against me yesterday, only 4.25 miles walked, hence 25 calories & 88 carbs over.
11/30 133.8 – pleased this number stayed around, 9.5 miles walked yesterday & a good food day, calories well under, carbs 17 over.
12/1 133.8 – 9.11 miles walked yesterday followed by the rest of the day painting in my sisters house, 2 coats of 50/50 paint/water on the fresh plaster on all walls and ceiling in her lounge. Good camaraderie with my sisters whilst we work. Not too a bad food day, she did provide us with a slice of homemade lemon drizzle cake after our jacket potato with chilli, but you know what, it wasn't worth the extra calories!!
12/2 133.8 – 8.86 miles walked yesterday, calories under but 44 carbs over.
12/3 133.4 - 125 & 94 calories & carbs over respectively. A day travelling up to care for my toddler DGS, took him to an animal farm with a soft play area, but no structured walking.
12/4 133 – 10.47 miles walked yesterday, good food day, Tried on my peaky blinders dress last night & also dresses that I plan on wearing for the Christmas & New Year dances. I was very pleasantly surprised with how they all fit and look, my exercise regime; walking and toning & stretching exercises and sticking to the food plan are all worthwhile!!
12/5 133.6 – bit disappointed with this, but hoping just normal fluctuation. 9.59 miles walked yesterday. Felt really good in my dress last night, a brilliant night we only sat out a few of the numbers, stayed AF, within calories, carbs 34 over (pizza).
12/6 133 -7.44 miles walked yesterday, good food day, calories well under, but carbs 45 over.
12/7
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE
. Keep calm – Covid is still out there take care, we're still in this together!

The house we looked at popped up on the market Wednesday afternoon. I got the notification immediately, sent to BF, we both said it could fit what we're looking for and contacted our agent to set up a viewing of it. I contacted her within an hour of it being posted. It hadn't even shown up on her search yet!
Welp, we really loved it. Wanted to talk about A) houses go fast around here, especially houses like that
we are under contract with our rental until end of May (be out before June 1st) so we will have to pay mortgage on a house we buy as well as rent through May...are we ready to buy this early?
Our decision was made for us. Our agent was finding out information about the house so we know what we could offer without offending the seller and be able to negotiate price. Well, by the time she called at 4pm, there was already one offer in and another offer they knew was coming, but official paperwork still en route. Meaning we'd have to offer well above asking to even think about having a chance to beat out the other two. So we called it off.
It works out, I guess. Veterans United closes within about 30 days once offer accepted so it's a pretty quick turnaround. That means we are good on that end. The problem will be finding a house that suits our needs within our price range. Everything out there right now is all new construction and in an HOA (which we couldn't live in due to our vehicles. I'd have to get rid of my Jeep or my commuter car (2 vehicles only). We'd have to get rid of the Harleys and his vintage Volkswagen Beetle (too loud/too old and not restored yet so it doesn't look good right now). We are not willing to do any of that for a house)
I always think that if something is meant to be it will happen, I am sure that you will find the ideal house in the future and hopefully it will fit in better with your time frame (fingers crossed) !6 -

**************************************
11/28 143.0 (trend 142.7) Not really surprised to see this gain, yesterday was crazy, flying to Portugal and back in one day. We managed to squeeze in a lovely meal and a little walk around the town to see the lights and the monastery.
11/29 142.2 (trend 142.6) Glad to see this coming back down despite indulging in some treats yesterday, I got caught up in seasonal spirit at a cosy pub with a log fire. It was snowing outside and they were selling Christmas trees, we had soup and a few beers, proper hygge vibes!
Then pizza back at home and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on the box. I'm not usually all that interested in Christmas, hubby being a Hindu and my daughter is usually with her dad, but this year feels different, we're all ready to get really into it!
11/30 143.0 (trend 142.7) Had a really lazy day yesterday and didn't drink enough water, plus I was snacky so I'm not that surprised to be up again. Must tighten things up for the next few weeks to get back on track.
12/01 143.0 (trend 142.7) Much more active day, food ok but still not enough water. Spent the day ripping up floorboards so feeling quite achy. Went for a beer in a pub built in 1610, sat by the fire and listened to the landlord's ghost stories, then a walk round the town to see the lights.
Still retaining water I think, totm is coming up so it'll take a while to shift it.
12/02 141.0 (trend 142.5) Really physically demanding day yesterday and was too busy to eat much. Crashed on the sofa in the evening and binged a bit on raisins and peanut butter but I think I needed it. Totm started today, need to avoid the cravings. Nearly finished the kitchen floor and then I can start fitting the cabinets, woot!
12/03 141.8 (trend 142.4)
12/04 142.2 (trend 142.4)
12/05 141.0 (trend 142.2) Haven't updated for a few days, sorry! Need to catch up with everyone's posts. Not been making the best food choices, barely eating in the day and then eating more than I usually would in the evening. I suppose it's OMAD-lite? It might help me maintain short term for December while there's so much temptation about then back to healthy small meals in January. I'll see how it goes.
12/06 141.4 (trend 142.1) Food not too bad, though I did indulge in some homemade chicken tikka which I hadn't planned for. Spent the day taking several car loads of stuff to the dump, so lots of running up and down ramps. Glad trend weight is still moving down even though scale weight is very bouncy. Not gonna make my goals this round but then I haven't really been trying.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/28 209.5 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, not tracking food. Chips, pie, and drinks are damaging any success I’m making with good choices at meal time. Burned my hand which was not a good excuse to drink bourbon but I soothed it with Aloe on the hand and a few drinks instead of pain meds. TODAY is a good day to start fresh.
11/29 209.3 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2.5 + .5 miles, fishing, 1404 cal, 123 net carbs, AF.
11/30 209.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing 1437 cal, 103 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes.
12/1 210.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 + .5 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 2619 cal, 134 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes. Okay 2 slices of pecan pie did not bode well for weight loss.
12/2 209.7 Walked 1.5 miles, long drive in the car, 1791 cal, 145 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
12/3 209.8 Walked 3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2171 cal, 205 net carbs, AF.
12/4 207.7 Walked 2.7 + 1.3 miles, 1797 cal, 202 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
12/5 208.3 No exercise, shopped with my sister instead and continued decorating for Christmas. 1980 cal, 193 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.
12/6 208.3 Walked 3.5 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Pasta for both lunch & dinner when I told myself I would not have any for the day. Planned to decorate the tree but worked on a beautiful wood puzzle with very cool and unusual pieces with DH instead. https://www.libertypuzzles.com/wooden-jigsaw-puzzles/grand-canyon-falls

I skipped a few rounds and of course some of the weight came back. Goal weight is around 170 and then go from there. Starting weight is 212 (was 200.8). My scale actually broke yesterday so I’ve got a new one coming tomorrow. On better meds, more Prozac and now Adderall so hopefully no more anxiety episodes. Need to lose weight so I can keep taking Adderall ha. Also, 35F relatively sedentary.
12/4: 212.2 lbs at last weigh-in at Dr on 12/1
12/5: DNW. Scale hasn’t arrived yet. Monitoring my blood pressure at home due to Adderall. Praying things work out because it’s so amazing to feel CALM but if the side effects (I.e increase in BP) are too severe I have to go on a non-stimulant which may not produce the same effects. I know I’ve lost weight based on my clothes. A bit worried because the Adderall makes it easier to ignore hunger and seems to have shrunk my stomach a little so I’m not currently eating a sustainable diet (using premier protein shakes for breakfast and lunch). Can’t afford to have the Adderall yanked by my doctor if I lose too much weight too quickly so I’m trying to add some calories in a way I could probably, hopefully, sustain without the Adderall. Also, can’t take the drug every day and don’t want to binge eat on non medicated days. Not looking forward to that conversation at my recheck - I’m very honest with my doc cause these drugs freak me out a little. So I had two dipped macaroons this am with my protein shake before my meds kicked in and I have a small portion of sweet potato fries on deck to have with dinner tonight. Now to work on spreadsheets all day. Yay for busy season (public accounting)! Please send fudge.
12/6: 206.2. Scale arrived yesterday evening. Going to try and take tomorrow as a “break day” from Adderall. Playing with dosage (with dr permission) and yesterday managed to find a kind of sweet spot where I became really hungry by 3 and was able to eat a fair amount. Pretty sure I hit my calorie goal yesterday or else came close to it (some guesstimating on sauce). Forgot to check my BP around noon but by 6 pm I was getting normal readings below 120 - 1 high reading at 138 but could have been a cuff issue. At the client site today so I can count on my colleagues to insist on lunch. Probably won’t log depending on where we go cause I’m too lazy to find facsimiles on MFP haha.9 -

12/06 - 149.9 - Yippee!! Sodium and dehydration water retention has gone down and I'm back in the 140s. That was primary goal for this round, honestly. Yesterday was not ideal nutrition-wise, but I hit my NF habit goals. Drank over 100oz water. Tried my 5 minute run in place and knee did NOT like it, so I paced the house to walk for 5 minutes instead. Completed 2 rounds of NF body weight workout and can actually walk (not waddle) today. Progress on the muscle side of things which I'm happy to see (and may be contributing to weight since it has been months since I worked on strength). Today is active rest for NF and QFit calls for 6 minutes of stretching which works out really well. Work is busy busy busy so I'll be trying to take frequent breaks to get off my tush and move around. Will likely have to go to the store in the next day or two for more healthy lunch options, I'm getting a tad low. I'm not the type of person who can eat the same thing day in and day out so I need to include SOME variety. One or two days is fine, after that, I'm over it haha Will look up some healthy meals that sound good for lunches during my breaks.
12/07
Previous Day's Comments11/28 - Progress is progress, no matter how slow. I'll take it. Especially since Fam wanted to go out last night, we didn't make it home until almost 1am, and I'm running on about 5 hours of sleep. I'm also quite sore, particularly in my legs, since I did a small bodyweight workout yesterday. Knee is still tender, but doing better and I'm trying to work around it. Water was very good yesterday but I can still tell I've got some bloat to contend with. Will keep hacking away at my habits, though. Fasted yesterday for about 16.5 hours. My goal fasting window doesn't open up until 2pm today so we shall see how long I can hold off before my body yells "no more!" It may take a few days to retrain my body to this fasting schedule so I'm not terribly worried. Again, progress is progress, no matter how slow.
11/29 - Hey, it's still progress! Think some of this weight is DOMS, some hormonal. I was beyond sore by end of day yesterday. Struggling to get in and out of the chair. Today I'm still sore, but I've already pushed through 5 minutes on the rowing machine at a slow pace (NF app "morning activity" which can be meditation, journaling, workout, yoga, stretching, any activity that will wake up the brain and begin the brain-body communication WITHOUT electronics. Right now, it's creating the habit, so they only have us doing 5 minutes until it becomes habit, then moving on to longer times. I also used their method of "temptation bundling" like I did with running: I can only listen to my podcasts when I'm on the rower, walking, or running.) I'm going to try to push through at least 1 of their body weight workout rounds (they aim for 3 rounds of it, but I only did 2 on Saturday and I was barely able to walk yesterday so taking it easy today with rowing to help supplement). Food wasn't great, but I did manage to stay within calories and started fasting really early (had more of a lunch that ended about 3pm) and 90oz water. Going to push as far as I can with fasting today so I don't have a horribly long eating window to stuff my face. Went shopping and have balanced dinners planned for the week. Will be commuting at least Wednesday, possibly Thursday so I have a balanced meal for those planned. It should give me enough for at least 3 days so I'll have to find something healthy for today's lunch to get me through. Hopefully I can see 140s again without too much issue in the next day or two.
11/30 - There we go, back into the 140s. Now to hold on to that. Yesterday was good with all my daily habits. Finished 1.5 rounds of the bodyweight circuit and I'm still sore, but less so. Also did yoga stretching yesterday beforehand to help with the soreness. Active rest today was a nice wake up yoga morning routine. I have a conference webinar taking up most of the morning so I'll try to focus on getting up for some light movement (even if its pacing) throughout. Batch cooking some chicken burrito bowls for lunch today through Thursday. Tonight will be shrimp tacos. Tomorrow I commute in to work so I may or may not be able to post, but will weigh in and do my best to pop on. Same with Thursday if I end up having to drive in (dependent on how tomorrow goes). At the very least, I'll be back Friday.
12/01 - Guessing this is due to waking up several hours earlier than normal. Not worried about it since I look and feel way less bloated than yesterday! Long couple days ahead but I've set myself up well enough. Healthy snacks (salmon packets, protein shake), a balanced lunch, and water all packed and ready to go. Plan to do bodyweight exercises (squats, pushups, lunches, planks) during breaks at work plus I'm sure I'll have plenty of walking to do.
12/02 - All habits good but water was close! I ended up finishing my water goal with dinner but then had to wake up twice to use the bathroom..oops. Weight is alright, expected. The commute is hard, especially since it hasn't been that frequent - dinner is within 45 minutes of my lights out and the early wakeup doesn't help the scale. Body isn't used to having to function that way yet. Had a touch of heartburn from eating so close to dinner, but luckily it passed quickly. Hopefully with time and routine, my body will adjust to that as well. Feeling sleepy but coffee is brewing and the smell alone helps a bit (coffee is more like a placebo than actually doing anything for me. I don't drink more than my small travel mug which is about 1 1/2 to 2 cups if I drink any at all then switch to water for the day). Below I attached a picture of a goal I'm working on with QSciences (feel free to join if you'd like). Also keeping up with my NF Journey habits. I did my NF bodyweight at work yesterday (1 round and I'm still sore from it) and my plank. Thankfully tomorrow I don't have to work because today's QFit challenge is tripling the squats I do with NF bodyweight! I plan on spacing them through the day, though.
12/03 - Sodium blimp from dinner. Fam tried a Thai sweet and sour chicken soup and had edamame as a side. Unfortunately she realized after the fact, the edamame came pre-salted. They were delicious, but they were, indeed, salty. Water good, all habits good. Did walk the plant for my NF active rest day and completed all 3 sets of 10 pushups for QFit (I'm keeping it in a spoiler below in case anyone follows along with me or is curious). Up early to go out to the land and get out in nature while everyone else works. It's a very stressful time, a huge "go live" is happening starting January 1st and 3 people have quit this week. They're already extremely understaffed. Poor BF is doing the jobs of 4 or 5 people already (including the work of positions both higher and lower than his own but he can't promote until he's held his position at least a year, which will be June 1st).
12/04 - Friends came to town for the weekend last night. NSV: I balanced lunch to account for a heavier, later dinner with them once they arrived. Yay! Downfall? I didn't realize we were going to see the lights at the Platz (German town here) and let the kiddos try ice skating (first time, it was great) after the Christmas Parade so I didn't bring my water cup. I'm feeling it with a slight dehydration headache and the blip on the scale. Today: viewing a house (house-hunting) and then chilling and hanging out around town with our friends. They brought their daughter and she hasn't been here before so it'll be fun! All other habits good. Active rest day today which I should get plenty of walking in throughout the day for that. Have planks to complete for QFit.
12/05 - Sodium + rehydration, very expected, very okay. Lack of water Friday led to the temporary gain of water weight while rehydrating yesterday. Drank over 100oz through the day. Also had chips and salsa. Those salty chips tasted wonderful letting me know just how much I needed to rehydrate. Oof. Of course, those same salty chips are causing me to hold on to some of the water. It'll go down in a day or two so long as I can get back on track. Friends from out of town leaving this morning so back to normal routine. Fasting as long as I can today (I made a conscious decision for a break while they were here). That's the only NF habit I didn't complete yesterday. Did manage to sneak in my side planks. Today I have a 5 minute run plus NF bodyweight round. Not sure when I'll get that run in, but even if I have to run in place, I'm doing it! Once I post I'll do a round of bodyweight. Maybe by doing one in the morning, one in the evening I can work up to 2 rounds now. Just is starting to feel easy but it does leave me sore the next day still. Don't want to overdo it!

The house we looked at popped up on the market Wednesday afternoon. I got the notification immediately, sent to BF, we both said it could fit what we're looking for and contacted our agent to set up a viewing of it. I contacted her within an hour of it being posted. It hadn't even shown up on her search yet!
Welp, we really loved it. Wanted to talk about A) houses go fast around here, especially houses like that we are under contract with our rental until end of May (be out before June 1st) so we will have to pay mortgage on a house we buy as well as rent through May...are we ready to buy this early?
Our decision was made for us. Our agent was finding out information about the house so we know what we could offer without offending the seller and be able to negotiate price. Well, by the time she called at 4pm, there was already one offer in and another offer they knew was coming, but official paperwork still en route. Meaning we'd have to offer well above asking to even think about having a chance to beat out the other two. So we called it off.
It works out, I guess. Veterans United closes within about 30 days once offer accepted so it's a pretty quick turnaround. That means we are good on that end. The problem will be finding a house that suits our needs within our price range. Everything out there right now is all new construction and in an HOA (which we couldn't live in due to our vehicles. I'd have to get rid of my Jeep or my commuter car (2 vehicles only). We'd have to get rid of the Harleys and his vintage Volkswagen Beetle (too loud/too old and not restored yet so it doesn't look good right now). We are not willing to do any of that for a house)
I always think that if something is meant to be it will happen, I am sure that you will find the ideal house in the future and hopefully it will fit in better with your time frame (fingers crossed) !
We are the same thing. Not terribly upset by the loss of this one, just concerned because there are so few listings right now. We both agreed, though, that it wasn't our house nor our time. It was great to meet our agent and see our first house. Kind of makes it a little more 'real' that it's happening.6 -
Hi all, 😁 this will be my third round.
I have lost 10 pounds so far from highest from previous rounds.
30 year old, Female, 5"3, UK
SW: 172.6
GW this round: 169
UGW: 130
Day/Weight/Comment
11/28/ 172.6/ dropped quite a bit from yesterday, recalculated my SW from 174.2, had lots of tea this morning, green, spiced and camomile, two wee mini burgers for lunch total cals 160. Feeling positive I can reach goal, once this round is over, if I stay on track, I'll have lost a full stone. A quarter of the way to my UGW.
11/29/ 171.8/ so close to my first benchmark, will try hard this week, plan to go swimming 😀
11/30/ 170.5/ didn't expect the drop, this is good, lots of herbal teas and moderate exersise, played pool for an hour last night. Had pie for dinner. Good news, getting there.
12/1/ 170.4/ kept within my calories for day yesterday, although I had a takeaway, its important for me to exersise more so going to horse riding tomorrow. Had a hot bath last night which is good for weight loss. Missed breakfast today as it was my day off and I slept in, so hoping the sleep burnt some extra cals through the night..I usually try for a 12 hour sleep on days I can, I sleep like a log. My pedometer arrived, so my steps where very low yesterday, it reset so I lost some data, but hoping to see what walking to shop counts as. Plan to just have a hotdog for dinner, should be enough, and tasty. Hope everyone else is keeping well, and reaching their goals 😊 gotta keep that mojo!
12/2/ 170.6/ went to country park for walk in morning, and also horse riding this afternoon, plenty of exercise is what I needed. Havnt ate much but my monthly is due so I'll prob make up for it next few days, I'll try my best 😊 also it's the weekend coming up, so will try not to snack. Had veges for dinner there, and will just drink herbal tea tonight.
12/3/ 170.6/ 😮 oh exactly same weight as yesterday, was stuck in car today for hours, few stop offs to get food, and when I came home had a blow out on crisps and three budweiser to relax since its been a while and it's the weekend. Will see in next few days if I can reach my target. Have four days to lose one and half pounds. Bad habits need to stop, my target was 1200cals, about 1700 atm and about go go to bed. So will try better tomorrow.
12/4/ 171.4/ didn't get exersise today as I was stuck in house, max 5200 steps, ate small portions tho.
12/5/ 170.2/ my pedometer reset but did over 6000 steps so far, it's 4.30pm, walked around shops, bought steamed veggies and fruit and lots of yoghurt. One pound to go until target, think I've done well today, busy day tomorrow, should get to target by 7th. 🙂 on monthly so when it finishes should drop enough I hope.
12/6/ 168.8/ went to art class today, and pool table session planned for later, long day, no time for snacking, reached target, will hopefully keep it off and stay stable tomorrow. Really want to lose 0.8 of a pound to be stone lost by tomorrow.

Overall Weight Loss

May 10, 2021: 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever.
Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!

12/03 - 164.6
12/04 - 163.6
12/05 - 163.3 - Why does everything lead me to food. The weather report was on and it was talking about a snow storm coming this week maybe and my first thought was, FOOD, I've got to make something good to eat. Today's football, and of course, FOOD. I've just resolved myself to the fact that I'll never do what my Grandmother used to say - eat to live, not live to eat. It's a lifetime in the making so not going to change overnight but I have gotten better about making (and enjoying) healthier food for these occasions.
12/06 - 163.1

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!

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.

Leftovers in.

Leftovers out. That is crazy. I think my scale was trolling me yesterday.
11/30: 207.2
Having some trouble nursing my discipline back to health. I wounded it during the Thanksgiving holiday.
My first scale reading of this round obliterated any possibility for a decent ten-day average.
I have never been as interested as I am this year about being interested. Caring about caring. Paying attention to paying attention during the holiday season. This makes it difficult to think about the annual office parties, open houses, family gatherings that are all ahead of me. Not to mention the gatherings I don’t even know about yet.
In the past for me, this has been all about the food (including last weekend.) Now, today, I will try to think more about the people I am with. My discipline is not mortally wounded! But, it has an infection.
12/01: 206.2
Steady day. Good exercise.
12/02: 207.4
Open house by one of my consultants this evening. Going to try to at least go lower carb.
12/03: 208.4
I am nothing more than a container that gets filled and emptied. Feeling a little Holiday pressure these days.
12/04: 207.6
12/05: 206.8
Had a quick overnight visit to DD Friday / Saturday. Feels like I should weigh more. It will probably catch up with me in the next couple days.

11/28: 209.7
11/29: 208.6 - Wow I had a lot of catching up to do I couldn't believe the last round ended 2 days ago. Thanksgiving weekend flew by! I feel like I ate pretty well and when I didn't I made sure I adjusted the rest of my day to that to stay under calories. Just have to buckle down for the end of the year. I WILL be under 200 by Christmas.
11/30: 208.1 - Last day of the month long Apple Watch challenge to work out every day, I did it. At this point I might as well go the rest of the year but maybe do something different tomorrow. I love the bike but my hamstring (previously torn) is not doing well. Rather give myself a day of rest than re-tear it and be forced into months of rest.
12/1: 207.0 - A decent surprise after waking up with a bit of a stomach issue. Set a new 20 minute PR on the Peloton which again was a surprise. Took a progress picture this morning, don't see much difference in last 10 lbs but see major difference in last 20 lbs.
12/2: 208.3 - Okay so yesterday was the outlier. Got it. Probably didn't help that we had Chinese for lunch yesterday and then I had pasta for dinner. Trend still down, workouts still happening so not worried!
12/3: 208.1 - Last round was a big drop so this round is flattening out, it makes sense. Either way, my cardio is improving which is great. I PR'd again for a 20 minute Peloton ride. 2x in 3 days so I'm definitely getting better there. I'm feeling not as confident about the 200 by Christmas but we will see!
12/4: 205.5 - A later weigh in than during the week and much harder workouts on the weekend (more sweat) explains this big drop. I almost don’t count it because it makes Monday seem not as successful but I have to record something! Hit a new 45 minute PR on Peloton which now sets all my PRs at 10+ output per minute which has been my goal for 2 months. So happy!
12/5: 205.0 - Went to a party yesterday and was called skinny. It feels weird because while I’m skinnier, I’m in no way “skinny” yet. It’s a nice compliment but I can’t let that make me think I’m done still a ways to go…
12/6: 206.4 - Well one scale said 206.4 and one said 205.4 but I'm going conservative for this weigh in and saying the higher one. Mondays after two long workout days I always go lighter so there's always a bit of a fluctuation up vs the weekend. 19 days until Christmas and 6 lbs to go. Hopefully body cooperates!

Yesterday was still a challenge — still too many yummy leftovers — but they’re gone now. Back to the plan!
11/29 - 181, Ave 180.7
Boing boing. But it’s ok, just normal post-pig out bouncing. I’ve got half my office painted but have to paint in short spurts because of other things. I’ll be glad when it’s finished, and happily I love the dark green coziness of the color! Off now for a walk with Rory. He turned 5 months yesterday and is in full adolescent goofiness. Here’s a pic I took yesterday.
11/30 - 180.6, Ave 180.7
A little better. Now to keep going this direction!
12/01 - 180.8, Ave 180.8
It’s all on me—I had some chocolate fudge truffle ice cream last night, and dinner was a bit salty. I did spent 90 minutes walking/running/standing/moving equipment at doggy school, though, so I did get some exercise. Today I’m determined to get some more of my office painted—nothing scheduled except a puppy play date with a friend’s Golden, and she’s coming here. Otherwise, paint is me!
12/02 - 180.4, Ave 180.7
Slowly, slowly. Not unexpected since my calories average is still above maintenance, but I behaved myself yesterday and everything will level back out. All good!
12/03 - 180.4, Ave 180.7
Okie dokie.
12/04 - 181.8, Ave 181.2
Aaack! But this is time lag and salt, so I can live with it. I’m finally at the end of my office painting project—it has dragged on because of life. Just need to put to second coat on 2 walls and do a little touching up and then I can reassemble the room and get back to writing. Yay! I’ll post a couple of pics when I get it all put back in order. I hope your weekend is as fun as mine!
12/05 - 181.2, Ave 181.3
Ok, two days to get back to or below last round’s end weight. I can do it! Have a lovely Sunday, everyone.
12/06 - 180.2, Ave 181.2
A little better. Not sure I’ll get much exercise today—cold and very windy out—but I finished painting my office and need to reassemble and schlep books back, so that’s something. Plus doggy school tonight. 😁
