8/21 - 228.8 - feeling great. Walked to and from gym. Did 12.9km walk/bike/elliptical! Almost reached my 100km in Aug goal! I've been going to the gym every day except rest days and i am not craving to go. I've been eating very well and prepping my food ahead of time. I've been motivated my Bigest Loser Team and my Buddy! I have more energy and my mood is more positive! I've been drinking at least 4-24oz bottles of water a day with a goal of 6.5 bottles!
8/22 - 228.6 - slow and steady
8/23 - 228.8 - i had a down day yesterday both mood and no exercise. I ended up binging on 90 calorie chocolate treats... so back on track today. Went to the gym at 8am. Going to clean my car. Then go for a walk later today!
8/24 - 227.6 - yeh back on track! Went to the gym this morning, didn't eat enough right before because I had errands so didn't push as hard as i normally do due to lack of energy. Walked home from the gym then to and from my dentist appt. Also achieved my 100km walk/bike/elliptical/row today!!!! I'm going to see how many more km I can get in so i can beat it next month! I also lost 2.4lbs since last week when i weighed in for the Biggest Loser Challenge!
8/25 - 227.2 - still going down! Did a 8.5km walk today and ate well! Looking forward to weighing in tomorrow.
8/26 - 277.0 - and down down Down! I wasn't feeling so motivated to go to the gym today but thankfully I already asked my dad to watch the baby today... so it was easier to have things in motion when I'm not feeling so motivated. I know i always feel so much better after exercising. I think im realizing for this reason my day feels much better way i go to the gym in the morning rather than in the afternoon when I'm losing motivation. Hoping to be in the 6s tomorrow!
8/27- 227.8 darn...hopefully with lots of water today I'll be able to get down into the 6's!
8/28 - 227.0 back on track. Heading to the gym the next 4 days before a 3 days family trip. I'll be planning some breakfast and lunches ahead to try and stay within calories!
8/29 - 226.8 - woohoo!!! In the 6s. Now I need to stay here! Heading to the gym!

8/21 - 177 - fluctuating between 175 & 177 - big BBQ on Sat. I have leftovers for a week. :-(
8/22 - forgot to weigh in this morning. :-( This will take some getting use to. I ate left overs yesterday but managed to stay within my calories intake. To much bread though. We got these awesome buns and I don't want to waist them. I am thinking about trying not drinking for a month. Sept is pretty quite. I wonder if I can do it. 50 min of walking and 60 squats
8/23 176.6 I did okay with eating today. Even though spaghetti for dinner. Company again. 50 min of walking. 20 leg raises.
8/24 176.8 80 squats 50min of walking and W1D2 C25K
8/25 176.4 Mom is in the hospital - Ulcer issues?
8/26 175.2 BBQ and company all day. To much junk food and drinks.
8/27 176 went hiking this morning. I'm almost at 12k steps on and is only 1:00
8/28 177 TOM started yesterday. I am so tired and sore today. Moved 2 dryers yesterday up and down stairs plus went hiking 5k. I'm sure feeling it today. Oldest daughter called me yesterday saying she has been kicked out. Expects to move in. I said no, feeling bad. More stress. Ugh! Started eating junk.
8/29 177.6 No sleep last night. Too hot and all I can do is worry about my Mom and daughter. Mom is still in the hospital. No word on what is happening yet. They wanted her to sign a DNR form. She asked them if she was that sick and they said no. So then why would they ask her to sign one? She didn't sign it. Missed out on doing C25K again. I need energy for that. I'm thinking nap when I get home. If I can sleep. It is another scorcher today.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 260.8 - been hovering here for a bit now, but i ate horribly today. too many calories in general and WAY too many of them from carbs. i expect a bump up tomorrow morning. blah. birthday cake, YOUUUUUUUU!!! /shakes fist.
8/22 261.4 = as i expected, all the carbs = weight gain. =/
8/23 260.4 - better this morning, but today went over the calories a bit and no evening walk. this week has been a challenge. i need to step up my game!
8/24 260.4 - last bit of cake is gone! with how i ate yesterday, glad to see that the numbers didnt go up again.
8/25 258.4 - staying on track with the calories
8/26 258.0 - ate pretty well yesterday. today will be tough. family gathering with pizza and appetizers and chips and junk. moderation is my mantra for today!
8/27 258.8 - all the junk food at the party was delicious and my numbers didn't go up too much. Having a little taste of everything seemed to work out pretty well.
8/28 259.2 - very lethargic yesterday. Ate too many carbs and didn't get to take my evening walk.
8/29 258.8 - back down is good. less crappy eating is good.

Round 14:
SW: 166.4
GW: 164.4
Round 13: SW 167.6, EW 166.4 (-1.2 lb), LW 165.4, HW 168.4, AVG 167.4
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21: 165.8 Very pleased. Yesterday was Take Mom to the Movies day. I pre-planned salted, buttered popcorn & soda into my meal log. Didn't add salt to the popcorn after all (and tasted just fine without). Proud of my changes in thought patterns. My former self would have written off the entire day as a "cheat day," throwing in a movie hot dog and/or candy too.
8/22: 167.0 Tried going to the restroom one more time after morning weigh-in to drop me in the 166's. Tee hee, tee hee. I'm so silly! If this is as high as it goes this round, I'll be happy.
8/23: 167.2 I'm sure this has *nothing* to do with the leftover 7-layer dip, chips, and pies my roommate brought home from a fundraiser on Monday.
The quicker I eat it, the sooner it will no longer be a temptation! 
8/24: 165.8 Good deal. Average over last 10 days is now under 167. I'm loving the overall downward trend!
8/25: 165.6
8/26: 165.6 Been out of the 168's for over 10 days now. Yippee!
8/27: 166.2 Rut-roh. TOM = scale jumps around like crazy! Been known to vary as much as 2.5 pounds in a day. Weeeee!
8/28: 166.4 Would be nice if TOM is hiding 2 pounds in his trousers, taking them away when he leaves. :laugh:
8/29: 166.4 TOM, take your extra poundage and go already. Don't you know I'm in a challenge, here?! Geez.
8/30
Onward and downward, friends!

8/21 205.6 been stuck on 205 forever!
8/22 206.6- started T.O.M yesterday so that weight gain is probably from that. Did weight lifting and cardio. Fitbit said I burned 967 calories
8/23 206.6- did back and biceps. Burned close to 400 calories. Didn't drink enough water or eat enough.
8/24 205.6 did a hour of light cardio country heat. Counted my calories. Ate good, but should of drank more water
8/25 204.4 didn't workout yesterday but ate very good. Ate about 1500 calories
8/26 204 -did shoulders and counted calories at well.
8/27 203.2! Omg I've never been this low since 2012! So I watched what I ate around 1800 calories. Didn't workout bc I was too lazy to! But I didn't eat bad. Had an amazing eggplant zucchini noodle lasagna last night! Going to make that again for sure.
8/28 204.2 yesterday I watched what I ate was over about 200 calories. Walked for 50 mins
8/29 201.8 yesterday was awful! I got strep throat so I could barely swallow anything down without it hurting a lot! I ate 1000 calories and absolutely no exercise. Just laid on the couch the whole time.

Current weight-160.38
10 Day Goal: Get under 160 and stay there.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21- 159.94 I doubt the weight is correct, but I'll take it for now. Exhausted today and almost caved to fast food for dinner. Instead, I chose a refrigerated soup and half a cheese sandwich for dinner. Hoping to get some food prep done tomorrow so the week runs easier.
8/22-159.72 Another tiring day here. Haven't had energy and my sleep schedule is off. Need to get back to taking my vitamins.
8/23- 159.5 My back pain has flared up, so I haven't done much more than take medication and sleep all day. Hoping tomorrow is a better day.
8/24- 159.94 Absolutely no real reason for the gain other than normal fluctuation. Remaining under calories. Hope the scale is nicer to me tomorrow.
8/25- 158.84 Tried the scale 4 different times to make sure my scale wasn't misbehaving.
I would be thrilled if I could end this challenge at 158. Still maintaining my calories and have plans to make freezer meals this weekend.
8/26- 159.06 Tiny increase today, but still very happy with my progress overall. We had dinner out with friends (Chinese) I did my best to have a small portion because I had no ideas of calories. Also, it was difficult to judge calories since we were sharing several dishes. I served up a small plate all at once so I could visually see my portion size and did not go back for seconds. I think I did fairly well, but we shall see if the scale agrees.
8/27- 158.62 Looks like I probably did ok last night. Very pleased. Today has been quiet with nothing to report.
8/28-158.4 I had a very busy day and fell asleep at 6:30 and woke up around 9:30 with no dinner made. We ended up eating fast food. I managed to come in under my calories, but only because I was so busy I barely ate all day. Tomorrow is a new day.
8/29-158.4 By the time dinner is rolling around, I am exhausted. Frankly, I would rather just go to bed for the night than cook a meal. I think I need to increase my calories at lunch because I feel like I'm on empty.

Complete implosion tonight! I am afraid what the scale will show tomorrow morning.5

Back on track. Final weigh-in day and I am pleased that my holiday baggage is going. Last week most of my weigh-ins were not on my own scale, but it served as a guide to how weight was fluctuating, i.e. Mostly up because of treats. One has to balance these things out, and not stress about them unduly.
I will work on reaching my goal next round.
Round 14: (Round 7 for me. Female, 5'2" aged 71, weight in lbs)
Update: I found a scale in one of the cupboards in our holiday cottage, so am running with it.
SW: 227; Lowest weight 18 Aug 2017: 159.2; Final goal weight: 147
Lowest : R8/1, 162; R9/2, 164.8; R10/3, 166; R11/4, 164; R12/5, 161.4; R13/6, 159.2; R14/7, 158.6;
Highest : R8/1, 169; R9/2, 169; R10/3, 168; R11/4, 166.8; R12/5, 164.4; R13/6, 161.8; R14/7, 167.8;
Mean...: R8/1, 165.5; R9/2, 166.8; R10/3, 167.7; R11/4, 165.5; R12/5, 162.6; R13/6, 160.4; R14/7, 160.7;
End W...: R8/1, 169; R9/2, 164.6; R10/3, 166.6; R11/4, 164.2; R12/5, 161.1; R13/6, 159.8; R14/7, 163;
Daily Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 15+ strength ; 15+ flex ; 6,500+ steps ; close kitchen at 8pm!
Target weight: 158
20/8/2017: 159.4 Not on my own scale, but it will do for comparisons.
21/8/2017: 158.6 Quite surprised. Had a huge Sunday dinner, but I had walked quite a lot, and did some hiking on a nearby moor.
22/8/2017: 161.5 (NMOS) Retaining water as my knee has flared up and is rather swollen. Barely got my 6500 steps. Slightly over basic calories. But still in the green, despite having wine with dinner last night, and not hydrating enough. C'est la vie!
23/8/2017: 161 (NMOS) Goals ✅ Still nursing my knee along. Did upper body/abs workout.
24/8/2017: 163 (NMOS) This is mostly water weight. We are on holiday, and I choose to have a day off the merry go round yesterday. Cause and effect! Yesterday we went on a boat trip to Rathlin Island. Although under goal, and making as healthy choices as I could, I reckon my sodium intake was way up, and needless to say I didn't hydrate enough to flush it out. Then we went to the ice cream parlour when we got back to the mainland. On top of that we had Chinese takeaway, (more sodium!) as we were knackered after the day walking in the open air and no one wanted to cook. Today I will eat light and hydrate. PS:
Did I mention the chocolate?
25/8/2017: 164 (NMOS) Another meal out last night. And didn't hydrate enough. I will be drinking like a fish today. Thank goodness I am going home tomorrow and all these temptations are removed. I will have to buckle down and get rid of this holiday baggage.
26/8/2017: Travelling
27/8/2017: 167.2 Back to my own scale. This is no surprise after a week of eating out and holiday treats.- I know I logged the food but it's difficult to gauge the extra calories added by chefs to 'enhance' the taste, undoubtedly over Goal most days.
- I prepared food for some of the days, but one doesn't want to be a party pooper when eating out as a 'treat' with family.
- Some of the weight will go quickly, because of all the sodium and water retention.
- I will be glugging water back for the few next to days to flush out the system.
- You pay a price when you over-indulge on rich food (in more ways than one).
- One thing I have learned during the last 3 years on here is that being fit and healthy is a lifetime commitment.
- You can over-indulge, but only occasionally, and the scale is your best motivation to make sure it doesn't get out of hand.
- Each day is a new day, and a new opportunity to choose your path.
29/8/2017: 165.5 Goals ✅
30/8/2017: 163 Goals ✅ Nice little whoosh! More holiday baggage ditched!
Have a great day! 11 -

8/22 60.9 kg - under calories + 6.4 km running YEY. Good, good day!
8/23 60.7 kg - unexpected. Had dinner quite late yesterday, so I was expecting 61 something. But happy!

Ten more days of accountability. My goal for this round is at least one pound to get to my 50 milestone goal. So happy to see people continuing the challenge
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 - 191.8 met my 50lb milestone today.
8/22 - 191.2 I'm being rewarded plenty for sticking to my guns this round as I stayed in the 193's for 10 days last round. It is sometimes hard to be patient as I seem to spent a lot of time waiting for the scale to show the payoff of my hard work. I see the pattern though and know if I stay motivated the numbers will move steadily downward.
8/23 - 192.2 High salt day, was so good though!
8/24 - 191.4 I knew it wasn't going to stay -- now I'm wondering if I can possibly get into the 8's in this round.
8/25 - 191.2
8/26 - 191.2
8/27 - 191 ever so slowly but in the right direction!
8/28 - 190.6
8/29 - 190.6 Went to the doctor yesterday. I have been tracking my bp for years and he has seen significant reduction to eliminate part of my blood pressure therapy. I'll track again for 6 weeks and he feels we may be able to cut it down more. This is a wonderful NSV. BUT, he has cut out the HCT, which is the water pill portion of my therapy and I'm nervous about the impending water weight gain. We will see the damage over the next week. If anyone has experience with this I would love to hear.
8/30
That's so wonderful that your blood pressure has improved. So proud of you. Best of luck on the water portion. Try not to get too nervous. I know that's easier said than done though.3 -
Hey everybody! I'm in again but with a late start. I've been battling the stomach flu, so just tracking my calories and forcing myself to eat and drink has been hard. Since work started back up 2 weeks ago, I couldn't call off either, so pushing myself to do that has taken all my energy.
Initial Start Weight: 202
R14 SW: 178.6
GW: 177
UGW: 125
08/21: 178.6 Not at all surprised considering how horribly sick I was.
08/22: 179.6 I am so okay with this. I just don't want to see 180 again. Lol
8/23: 180.8 Welp...I jinxed it. Lol It is what it is.
8/24: 179.6 Whoop...there it is...again. lol
8/25: 178.6 Back to where I started 5 days ago. I am beginning to feel more like myself now after being sick and am grateful for that.
8/26: 179.4 Well, here I go again. This round has been nutty! Lol
8/27: 178.4 I am down 2 oz from my original start weight. This round has been like a roller coaster. I have been up and down everyday, even if I just lose a lb this round, I'll be happy or not go back and stay in the 8s.
8/28: 178.8 What is up with this round? I'd normally be upset, but not this time. Maybe I'm growing in my mental strength to deal with these numbers being all over the place and wonky. I am remaining steady, and that's a positive.
08/29: 178.8 Holding steady
08/30: 178.8 Well, I didn't reach my goal this Round. That hasn't happened very often, but TOM has been visiting. I also had the tummy flu and was getting over it completely, so my body has been through a lot. The best thing is that I've maintained, which is good. So, even though I didn't lose, I'm still in the 7s. I'm down with that.

Round 14 - my round 1
SW 8/27 162.4 - 60 minute walk/some jogging
8/28 - 161.3 - 60 minute walk/jog
8/29 - 160.5 - either going for a walk/jog or doing a walk at home video after putting chicken in the crockpot
8/30 - 161.7 - ?? We were at the hospital last night - hubby's dad has been there since July 7 and is one step up from being in a permanent coma but still unresponsive - had an unsweetened Starbucks and a cookie there but still ended the day with a deficit - not sure where the gain is from except that I'm still dealing with TOTM so I guess all bets are off for consistency?? Ready to start a fresh 10 days tomorrow!!7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 252.6 The weekend is over now it's time to get rid of water wt. and eat healthier.
8/22 252.8 Sounds about right. I could have eaten better but my exercise was pretty good.
8/23 253.3 Had a little pizza indulgence yesterday, not typical of my eating habits but I'm sure its a factor in my increase. I did walk 8569 steps so that helped offset the bad choice.
8/24 255.3 Oh my gosh, why did I eat that salty food yesterday? I know it will blow me up like a balloon. Crap.
8/25 256.0 Man I am sucking wind here what the heck, is this a challenge to see how much I can gain in 10 days?
8/26 254.1 That's more like it, my weight does fluctuate a lot I eat any salt I retain water like crazy and vise versa.
8/27 253.6 I had a pretty good day Sat. eating better, got some good steps in. Will really watch it today and log everything.
8/28 253.2 That wt. makes sense, ate average did about 8300 steps, back to work for the first time in 5 weeks, I should start dropping some weight again. 10 days goes by quick I really enjoy this challenge.
8/29 254.1 Hmmmmmmmmm well, I'm not sure what happened here. My steps were pretty good around 7500, I guess I guess I did more grazing than I thought.
8/30 252.8 Did some detox juicing ate some salmon and cauliflower healthy dinner, about 8000 steps and salvaged my ten days whew.8 -
R14 SW 193
Ten more days of accountability. My goal for this round is at least one pound to get to my 50 milestone goal. So happy to see people continuing the challenge
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 - 191.8 met my 50lb milestone today.
8/22 - 191.2 I'm being rewarded plenty for sticking to my guns this round as I stayed in the 193's for 10 days last round. It is sometimes hard to be patient as I seem to spent a lot of time waiting for the scale to show the payoff of my hard work. I see the pattern though and know if I stay motivated the numbers will move steadily downward.
8/23 - 192.2 High salt day, was so good though!
8/24 - 191.4 I knew it wasn't going to stay -- now I'm wondering if I can possibly get into the 8's in this round.
8/25 - 191.2
8/26 - 191.2
8/27 - 191 ever so slowly but in the right direction!
8/28 - 190.6
8/29 - 190.6 Went to the doctor yesterday. I have been tracking my bp for years and he has seen significant reduction to eliminate part of my blood pressure therapy. I'll track again for 6 weeks and he feels we may be able to cut it down more. This is a wonderful NSV. BUT, he has cut out the HCT, which is the water pill portion of my therapy and I'm nervous about the impending water weight gain. We will see the damage over the next week. If anyone has experience with this I would love to hear.
8/30 - 190.6 well this is interesting but good. I'm off the water pill but stayed the same. I should be down as I had oral surgery yesterday and am on a liquid diet. This is great though, down over 2 lbs this round.
I hope to see you all in round 15!10 -
Starting Weight: 207
Ultimate goal weight: 130
R13 (my first) SW 206.8
R14 SW 203.2
R14 Goal: 202
Round 2 for me. I really like the 10 day commitment. It breaks down an otherwise impossible goal into manageable segments. Thanks for having me!
8/21 - 202.8 - after a weekend, I'll take it. Back to eating on point, no alcoholic hol and a LOT of water.
8/22 - 202.2 - went slightly over calories yesterday. Drank over 100 oz water. It's slow but the process is working.
8/23 - 200.8 - WHAT?! I had to step on the scale 3 times to register this. I'm sure I'll post a gain tomorrow but still psyched to see this number.
8/24 - 200.4 - honestly surprised I've maintained in this area for another day. ONEderland is so close!!
8/25 - 200.6 - still surprised I'm maintaining around here again. Thought for sure I would see a small gain. Maybe all the water I'm drinking (200 oz a day) is helping?!
8/26 - 200.8 - I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that I haven't hit ONEderland yet. It's toying with me! Heading out for a bike ride today. Should probably revise my goal for this round.
8/27 - 200.6 - UGH. Rode my bike 10 miles yesterday. But I did gorge myself at dinner. Even though I stayed within calories it wasn't a healthy choice. Maybe tomorrow I'll hit ONEderland.
8/28 - 199.8 - wahoooo!!!! ONEderland it's so nice to see you! I'm sure I'll bump up again before I really settle here but it's still nice to see that number. #hardworkispayingoff
8/29 - 200.8 - Bummer. Was hoping to hold in the 190s but I had a feeling it wouldn't happen. Today's goals: Water, water, water. Calories on track today - AM walk with dog and PM bike ride at least 11 miles.
8/30 - 200.6 - Frustrating to be stuck at such a big milestone. I know it will come ... eventually. Not feeling well today so going to take it easy. Called out sick from work. Definitely met my round 14 goal so I should be happy. And I am, just want to reach this milestone of being in the 100s. I'll be back for round 15!9 -

Round 14 (R5 for me)
5’6” Short term Goal weight: 195
Ultimate Goal weight: 155
R10: 204.6 – 201.4
R11: 200 – 203
R12: 200.8 -195.6
R13: 198.4 – 197.2
R14 Goal 194.9 (need to hit that 195 goal!)
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21: 198.4 – so surprise here. Way over on cals the last couple days.
8/22: 196.4 – Wahoo! Finally see a decent drop. Let’s keep this going.
8/23: 196 & 195.6 – Weighed myself twice today, once when I got up and again about 30 mins later. I don’t know which one to record so I’m recording them both. Super sore today from Monday’s workout.
8/24: 195.6 - .7 pounds from my short term goal weight. Once I get there and keep it for a week, I’m rewarding myself with a fancy new workout outfit.
8/25: 195.8 – Not as exciting as a loss but not bad either.
8/26: 195.4 – Woo! Didn’t expect this as I had a carb/fat pigout last night. Spending 6 hours in the car today. Sure way for me to retain a little water. I’ll fit in some exercise somehow.
8/27: 194.6 – Wow! I hit my short term goal! So happy! Now I want to keep it and then on to my next goal of 185. I haven’t weighed in the 180’s for 8 years (my 30’s) so that would be amazing. Well, now that I think about it I can’t remember the last time I was under 195.
8/28: 193.4 – Oh how I wish this was real. I’ll just expect to go back up hopefully just a little though.
8/29: 193.4 – Kinda crazy. I couldn’t get away from 197 in the last round and now here I am in the 193’s. Maybe the scale batteries are going dead?
8/30: 193.2 – I like it! Down 5.2 pounds this round! Woo! Stayed under 195 for four days. Work is grilling steaks for lunch today with potato salad, chips, beans, rolls and cookies. I think I’ll skip it and get an unwich or something.

Back still! Did the yoyo thing last round; ended up where I started 144.4. I vow to be more conscious this round and to exercise more - hard to do lately because of family commitments. I'm looking to get to 143 or below without bouncing back. I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. Slow going but better than nothing. I'm at roughly .5 a week loss. I need to get a little more serious this round.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/21 144.4 - 45 on ellip and 1 ice cream nutty buddy. Did forgo the enchiladas I made yesterday and had a salad with the chicken and black beans on it. My goal today is to keep carbs no more than 50 and calories 1000-1200. Happy Eclipse everyone!
8/22 143.2 Woo Hoo! Hope some of this loss is fat. Now to pay attention so that I continue the downward. 75 min on ellip and made a crustless mushroom quiche - high in protein, tasty and satisfying and low in cals and carbs. More ellip today and hopefully get to gym. Remember, you are beautiful.
8/23 144 Ah phooey... knew it was too big of a drop all at once. Still, down almost half a pound since Monday. Gotta get me to gym today by hook or by crook. Did 60 min on ellip and ate within cal, below on carbs. Merry losing, ya'll.
8/24 144 Got to gym yesterday - love it. Makes me feel like Wonder Woman. Ate within cals and carbs. Waiting for a whoosh. Since the weekend is coming a lunch out with friends, I'll be extra good today and tomorrow.
8/25 143 Again! LOL Surprised as my son asked me to make Chinese drumsticks which have a lot of soy sauce = sodium. Happy Friday!
8/26 144.8 There's the sodium and 2 slices of pizza and mixed drink. Higher than when this round started. Off to camp out and maybe get some exercise. Didn't make it to gym as I'd only had 3 hours sleep. I want to see the scale say in the 142's before this decade ends.
8/27 no scale in the woods.... lots of hiking up and down hills, ate sensibly, brought chicken and veggie foil packets for dinner.
8/28 141.6 Whoop! Slept very late for me and some of this loss is thanks to kidneys but I'm celebrating. All that hiking burned some cals. Gonna make some chicken/veggie soup to stay below my high yoyo for this round. Thank you body. PS... I have lost 21 pounds by this morning's weigh in. Doing the happy dance.
8/29 142.4 Got to gym, ate clean and below cals and carbs. Happy with this number as I wanted to finish this round in the 42's or below. Going to get in some elliptical today and more chick/veggie soup - made a bunch. I want this number to be my new 'high'.
8/30 142.4 The same and I'm happy. My goal for this round was to finish in the 2's and here I is! Got in 45 on ellip before the 2 yr old started proclaiming 'hungry, hungry'. Ate really clean and very tasty yesterday: hard cooked egg, chicken veggie soup, salad, protein drink, baked fish and Irish whiskey! See ya'll next round.8 -
Round 14 (My round 3) I didn't meet my Round 13 goal, so I am going to keep it the same for Round 14. Let's get 'er done

Hope you get better quick. And it will come, probably in a big 'whoosh!'. Just stick with it.
