End of Round 12: 161.2

8/11: 160.2 - with today's weigh in, I have now officially lost 50 lbs since I started.

8/13: 157.4 - see previous post
8/14: 157.8 - yesterday ended up being a 'eat at maintenance' day. had a family gathering so all guesstimates.
8/15: 158.6 - over my sodium yesterday (coworker bought me lunch) and the day before. I'm curious to see how long it'll take for the water weight to come off.
8/16: 158.2 - right direction. Goal is to get back down to 157.4

Round 8/1: HW 274.4 LW 269.8 MidW = 271.9
Round 9/2: HW 269.4 LW 266.8 MidW=268.1
Round 10/3: HW 269 LW 266.4 MidW = 267.7
Round 11/4: HW 267.4 LW 264.2 MidW = 265.8
Round 12/5: HW 264.8 LW 261.2 MidW = 263.0
8/11 263.2 -- "Retrieved" two pounds from a day off logging and a trip to Little Pigs barbecue buffet. Back to the new normal today. May slide up a bit more tomorrow because of water but I know what to do. CICO!!
8/12 262.6 -- Getting rid of the two pounds from the trip to the barbecue. Logged and stayed under calories yesterday like it is the new normal! It is ... the new normal, that is.
8/13 261.6 -- Almost back to the LW of round 12. It's onward!
8/14 262.0 -- Made the mistake of getting on the scale in my nightie. Now it won't recognize that I weigh less in the buff. Damned scale decides that it's going to tell me I weigh that day and once it decides on a number, it won't change it. Obstinate little thing! Oh, well, I know I ate right and the number is not what's important -- at least that's what I'm telling myself. Harrumph!
8/15 261.4 -- The scale went down but I fell into an old pattern last night that had me eating several hundred calories "post diary." Staying up late to binge-watch costume dramas goes with snacking. I need to watch such girly stuff during the day when I'm more in control of my eating. (Early evening is more "gender neutral" in our living room. LOL)

8/16 261.0 -- Discovered what had made it so hard to stay within calories for the last couple days. I had been playing with the macros and something I did had dropped my daily limit by about 150 calories! No wonder I had that attack of the night munchies. Anyway, all recovered. I actually ate low yesterday because I skipped (slept through?) breakfast and wasn't hungry for it due to the previous night. Back to normal today!

I'm chiming in here. Please don't do this to yourself. Eat your 1200 calories. You'll lose easier. You do as you've been and 1) your body metabolism drops and you burn less 2) You need to eat, especially protein, to repair the muscle you're tearing down to swim for an hour a day. This is not a pattern that will serve you. You need to eat wisely so that when you reach goal, you can maintain. You can't starve yourself the rest of your life. It isn't worth it and it's unhealthy as all heck. in addition, it isn't working for you.

8/16: 181.2 lbs...Okay, I'm going to be honest here...that sudden weight loss was unexpected, but I am starting to get bummed by the fact that it's still creeping up. I decreased my calories a bit to get the # back down the last few days, and it hasn't worked. I refuse to go any lower than I have. Maybe soon it'll start creeping down again.
I almost reached my goal for steps yesterday too. Water was once again a struggle for me. I need to step it up.

Remember, we don't have daily control over what the scale is going to tell us. It is strongly affected by water weight that comes and goes based on exercise, salt, weather, activity, injury, elimination, etc. Look at the long term trend using the report function, setting it to 90-days or more. If the line looks like a ball wildly and irregularly bouncing down the stairs, you are losing weight. If it isn't going down over the long run, reduce your calories. Daily fluctuations mean nothing.

Remember, you don't build muscle exercising, you tear it down. It's afterwards, with rest and protein, that you build muscle.

tishawj · August 2017

Here I am again!
SW - 3/20/17 - 182.4lbs
GW - Want to get to 150 and then maintain for a while to work on fitness instead of weightloss, I expect I will probably drop a few more lbs as I figure out where my calories need to be to maintain...but I'm cool with that

I think 140 may be my ultimate goal but I want to take the last 10 slowly.

8/10 - Coming in from round 12 - 154.8

Day/Weight/Comment
8/11 - 151.8 - SUPER WHOOSH...all the weight and then a bit extra is off from my vacation de-railment. I was up almost every hour to pee last night lol...so I was obviously releasing everything my cells were retaining. I'm within 2 lbs of my original goal weight. I'm going to add a snack to my meal planning this week to slow things down a bit. Picked up my kettlebells for the first time in over a week this morning so I expect to be sore tomorrow.
8/12 - 151.4 - right direction! Cleared out all the size 12's and Larges from my closet...AND...bought two pairs of size 8 capri pants from the summer clearance rack yesterday!!!! BIG NSV!!
8/13 - 152.2 - just a blip. Ate around maintenance cals yesterday...mabe a smidge more...but not enough to gain a lb of fat. Probably bloat from the beers my bod isn't used to having. A long bike ride is in the plans for today...going to burn it off.
8/14 - 154 - Sodium and sore muscles. More water, mindful eating and light activity today...and a trip to the chiropractor...
8/15 - 154.2- Hrmm...fingers feel puffy for some reason this morning. I banked some of yesterday's calories for today since we're heading to Toronto for the ROM and the Jays game...I know my food choices won't be the best (gotta enjoy the full ball park experience). We will be walking LOTS and I'm heading downstairs to work out before we leave...

8/16 - 153.6 - The 18000 steps walking around TO yesterday seems to have counter-acted the beer and Roger's Centre popcorn at the ball game...

R09 SW 235.6
R10 SW 230.3
R11 SW 230.3
R12 SW 229.7
R13 SW 227.0

I had a big loss last round so not expecting much of a loss for this round, but we will see. My goals for this round are to make sure I stay hydrated and, since there are two weekends in this round, to work on being more mindful of my eating on the weekends.

8/11--227.0 Holding steady.
8/12--227.0 Still holding, but my trend weight is going downwards. Need to make sure I keep up with my water today.
8/13--228.1 Went out to eat yesterday, so the increase is probably due to the additional salt. I'm very happy that I still stayed within my calories and I drank more water than what I usually drink on the weekend. I'll continue to keep up with the water today.
8/14--228.1 Holding steady. Still feeing a little bloated today. The weekend was a success as I kept up my hydration levels and I ate more sensibly than normal, so I'll just wait for the scale to follow.
8/15--227.9 Still eating at my calorie level. Still feeling bloated. Had a great weightlifting session yesterday.
8/16--227.7 Slowly getting back to my starting weight for this round. Still staying hydrated.

A couple days late but would like to put in 8 days this round.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/11- N/A
8/12- N/A
8/13- 160.8 I have not weighed myself in forever and this is better then expected. I am going to lose 25 pounds.
8/14- 161.4 Not sure why I'm up. Wouldn't have changed anything I did yesterday so I'll have to take it.
8/15- 161.0 This should not be so. Anniversary dinner and movie popcorn not conducive to weight loss. Not sure what my body is up to.
8/16- 161.4 No big surprise here. My sugar intake is out of control... again. I am no longer hiding from it, though, as I have been the last few months. Getting on the scale is a reminder of what it is doing to my body.

8/11 - 194.4 What?!?!?! **Sigh** Is that you cottage cheese? The 'run' last night? Or just a bounce from my fabulous trip into the 193s? OK - today DRINK WATER.
8/12 - 195.1 Another big sigh. I have NOT been ingesting fluids and am retaining water. I can feel the bloat in my skin. Today really drink water.
8/13 - 194.0
8/14 - 193.6 Cycling back down. In 32 weeks I am down 32.8 pounds.
8/15 - 192.2 Oooooooh! I'm liking this round. I expect another bounce up is coming. W6 D2 C25K complete.

8/16 - 194.4

Here is my bounce up and there goes my euphoria. And here stays (for a few days) the sodium bloat from a can of tuna on my lunch salad and that delicious calzone I split with my husband last night.

FIRST TIME: But I'm in!
Starting Weight: 180
Starting BF%: 42
Goal Weight: 140
Goal BF%: 30

8/11- 179.2 I know it's only a few ounces but yesterday I started in earnest with my workout and healthy eating routine. 180 is the most I've ever weighed in my life (before that it was 169 and I haven't checked the scale in between so this was quite a surprise). Just to see this number tip little bit is inspiring... and I'm off to the gym!

8/12- 179.0 Just began a breakup with my partner this morning. Parting with him, I believe, is also part of my self care. Hoping I can stick to my workout and calorie schedule. Though all I want is cheesecake and chips to soothe my soul. (Edit: thanks to all of you for your support and camaraderie

)

8/13- 180.0 I weighed myself after the gym and a late breakfast so this "gain" isn't too surprising but I'm hopeful for tomorrow. I did eat about a pound of queso and chips yesterday... I am human, I stress eat, and I am beautiful.

8/14- 178.0 and 41% Body Fat. Sweet! Going to keep this up and find some Perrier that @suebee143 mentioned!

8/15-178.6 lots of salt and no gym yesterday

8/16-178.6 Feeling a little down and I KNOW I'll stress eat today. Skipped the gym again but went early this morning...which is good at least!

8/15 - 169.7 Down a little not sure why. Need to keep pushing toward goal!!

End R12 (my first round): 171.4

I'd like to lose 2 more pounds this round.

8/11: 171.4 Yesterday was a food day. A "gourmet" doughnut and latte for breakfast and a company picnic (did pretty well; kept it light). Had a good step day: 16,000!
8/12: 171.4 Holding steady. Boy, I really wanted wine last night. And dessert. Lots of it. It seems to be my Friday tradition. By 5pm, though, I had only drank about 16 oz. of water, so had some catching up to do. I stuck with water. On a Friday night. Steps were also low (busy day at work yesterday) so spent the evening walking the dog and did some elliptical.
8/13: 170.5

Active day yesterday cleaning up, running errands and getting to the Y to run on the treadmill again. Have found a replacement for alcohol right now: the little cans of flavored Perrier. Throw in some ice and lime and they are refreshing!
8/14: 170.5 Day off from work today. Kids go back to school tomorrow. Back into the routine!
8/15: 170.5 For those of you that hold on and then a bunch comes off at once? I am with you!

I did have a few small glasses of wine last night at a potluck dinner and tried to eat a lot of salad (hard to do at potlucks...) Took a walk with the dog and did the elliptical. Want to keep reaching 10,000 steps this week.
8/16: 169.4 Yes! Getting in the zone now. I say "getting" because the temptations and there and they are real and I literally have to do this one day at a time. I think that's why I am liking this weigh every day thing. Keeps me on my game.
