Round 17: (Round 10 for me. Female, 5'2" aged 71, weight in lbs)
Round 17 Target weight: 159
19/9/2017: 160.8
20/9/2017: 160.8 Goals ✅ And so it continues.....
21/9/2017: 161.8 Goals ✅ Wondering if my increased strength workouts are affecting my weight. Maybe need to hydrate more!
22/9/2017: 161.2 Goals ✅ Just strollin' along, Singin' my song! ..... Smile! Smile! Smile!
23/9/2017: 161.2 Goals ✅ Waiting for the next Whoosh!
24/9/2017: 161.4 Goals ✅ Totally not what I expected. I had a mother/daughters' outing to the city yesterday. Under goal but hydration was patchy! It'll probably show up tomorrow.
25/9/2017: 162.2 Goals? Meh! But rise totally predictable! City outing + Sunday visiting. And not hydrating properly. 4 days to redress this!
26/9/2017: 160.8 Goals ✅ What a difference a day (or two) staying on focus makes. Now to stick with it! Lol! I AM doing this!
27/9/2017: 160.4 Goals ✅ Easy does it! I'm working on strength, so weight loss will slow a bit as I streamline my body.
28/9/2017: 160.0 Goals ✅ Steady as she goes! I might even see 159 this round!
29/9/2017: Goals

Don't worry!

Round 17

RD14 start 252.6 End 252.8
RD15 start 252.8 End 254.2
RD16 start 257.0 End 256.4

Goal this round -2.5 lbs.

9/20 255.0 I have a Dr. appt in about a month and hope to lose -5lbs, this round will be my kick start. I need to watch my carb intake, salt, sugar, and average 8000 steps per day.
9/21 254.6 My eating wasn't great, to many carbs, but 8700 steps helped I'm sure. Planning a good all around day.
9/22 253.5 The needle is moving in the right direction b/c I quit cheating with my eating and have actually put in an honest effort for a change. Dr appt was moved up two weeks But I'm keeping to my -5 lb goal.
9/23 255.0 Not happy, nope not at all, tired of the yoyoing
9/24 255.0
9/25 255.0 Today's goal is watch the sugar and carb intake, walk 8000 steps and enjoy the day.
9/26 255.0 The needles kinda stuck but I met my eating goals for yesterday, steps were a little low.
9/27 255.7
9/28 256.5 I got stuck in the sixties for a long time and now I'm stuck in the fifties, lets go forties haha.

ROUND 17 - My Round 4

Start weight for round 17 - 161.7

Up 0.2 from yesterday but overall down 0.3 from last round. I so badly want to break back out of the 160's - I am so unhappy that they are my new normal. I want to see 159.9 or anything below it, as soon as possible. Here we go for this round:

9/20 161.7 - no exercise yesterday because I got out of work 1.5 hours late due to a meeting, then having to finish some paperwork at home (gotta love teaching)
9/21 162.8 UGH. Salty skillet pack for dinner so I hope that's the problem
9/22 161.7 - less snacking at work and less food at night - or it could just be the salt leaving from 2 salty meals. Still no during the week exercise...sign
9/23 I truly forgot to track - I weighed in but don't remember!!
9/24 162.0 - my family had a surprise 30th birthday for me on Saturday so not too bad!!
9/25 161.8 - moving the right way despite more cake since Sunday was my real birthday and TOM all weekend
9/26 162.8 - my friend made me ice cream cake for work yesterday so I had to have some - plus a salty dinner - anyone else bounce between the same weights? It's never 162.7 or 162.9, always 162.8, 162.0, 161.8 etc...
9/27 161.6 - better!! Have to keep it together the next 2 days!!
9/28 161.3 - woo!! Keeping it together for one more day!! Gotta keep up the activity too!!
9/29

R13 SW - 71.2kg (157)
R14 SW - 71.5kg (157.6)
R15 SW - 72.2kg (159.2)
R16 SW - 72kg (158.7)

9/27 - 73kg (160.9) - damage from holidays not as bad as I feared. Back to 5:2 (or starvation day as I call it) today.

9/28 - 71.8kg (158.3) - meant to be my 2nd starvation day for the week but ended up at a work lunch. Still under daily calories, just need to even out the weekly total.

9/29 -

I'm back! I've been a part of this group for so long now that posting is just an automatic response because it's truly a part of my daily routine. I'm so appreciative of all the support and encouragement along my journey. I am starting this Round down 4 oz from my last round. If I could just get to 174 this Round, I'd be happy.

Start Weight: 202
R17: 174.6
GW: 174
UGW:125

09/20: 174.6 So, Mom is getting released from rehab on Saturday. I fell off a table at work yesterday because I was hanging up some anchor charts and landed on a concrete floor. I know, I should have used a stool. I was pretty sore yesterday, but I am better today except for my finger. I jammed it when trying to catch myself.
09/21: 174.4 This is the 4th time I've seen this number. I have yet to get any lower than this or to have my BIG WHOOSH! It's been 2 weeks. It's only a matter of time, right?! The tortoise beat the hare.
09/22: 174! I hit my 4 oz!!!! I've officially lost 28lbs. I'm so behind thrilled. Now, I just want to lose 2 more pounds, and that will put me at a 30 lb loss and the same weight as my teenage son, who happens to be 7 inches taller than me.
09/23: 173.6 YIPPEE! I've dropped into a new number in the 70s. This is my newest low! I haven't seen this number since my first pregnancy, and that was about 14 years ago. Say what now?!
09/24: 174.4 What in the world?! I biked 6.5 miles yesterday before my day got crazy and walked about 8000 steps because we picked up Mom from rehab, and now she's back home. I stuck to my water, and I was under my calories. BTW: this is the 5th time I've seen this number now. I think it really likes me, but I'm starting to think I don't like it very much. Lol
09/25: 174.2 I completed a 5k walk yesterday in honor of Mom (MIL) for lung cancer awareness with my husband and 3 children. She has been battling it over a year now as some of you know and has done amazingly. I also grabbed some things from the store, came home and cleaned house, and I did my lesson planning for the kiddos this week. With everything combined that I did, I put in over 14g steps. Whew!
09/26: 173.6 Really struggling to meet my calorie goal. I didn't get it. Now, I do. If you don't consume enough, your body thinks it's starving and your metabolism slows down. Your weight loss will stall. So, eat those calories that MFP sets for you. It may sound weird, but it has something to burn, so you'll lose weight. I am determined to get 1500 calories in.
09/27: 173.6 I hit my 1500 calorie goal! No, I didn't eat more even though I exercised. That was an accomplishment in itself. I also decided to up my steps by 500 because I finally got into the swing of walking more. Let's hope this eating more calories things work! Oh...oh...oh...I also did research and found that what most doctors consider good macros is 40% carbs, 30% fat, and 30% protein. So, I've adjusted that too.
09/28: 172.8 I'm doing a happy dance, a happy dance!!!! I didn't meet my goal last round, but I met this round and last rounds goal together today. Woot Woot! I hit my 1500 calorie mark. I was very close to my macros, and I went on a 4- mile bike ride after work with my husband as a way to unwind and chat about our day. I am only 8 oz. away from losing a total of 30lbs! That's my next goal ladies and gents. I've got my eye on the target.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/20 - 167.2 Huh. Guess I had some water weight to lose since I haven't been at much of a calorie deficit. Think I'll switch my goal weight to 166.5
9/21 - 166.8 Okay, I moved into a new construction neighborhood. But do they really have to start the heavy work at 7 AM on my day off?! (Yes, official work hours are 7-7, I knew that but argh)
9/22 - 167
9/23 – 167.4 I'd forgotten how annoying an uptick trend like this is. Won't worry about it, I know I was within my calorie limit the last few days.
9/24 – 166.5 Woohoo! Gotta love those hormonal swings. Hope I can stay here to the end of this round!
9/25 - 166
