Ultimate goal - 135
R18 Goals: eat well, clean & healthfully, ~1700 cal, macros P30 C35 F35 %.
5'3", 64 yrs.
R15 end weight 151.2
R16 end weight 151.4
R17 end weight 151

9-30 - 150.8
Good start, despite salty lunch out yesterday.

10-1 - 151
There's that sodium!

10-2 - 151.2
Up, down, up down... I've been way too hungry at 1500, so I've bumped my calorie goal back up to ~1700. I've been maintaining @ 1800-1900 for 6 months, so I should slowly lose at 1600-1700. I don't care about speed, as long as I'm moving in the right direction. And I'm not hangry!

10-3 - 151.2
I should be losing by all calculations, but I'm not. I've been hovering around 151 for months, eating anywhere from 1500-2000 calories. Doesn't make sense. Apparently my body thinks this is where it should be. Sigh.

10-4 - 151.2
Still here. Calories, exercise, macros all on point, so I duuno. Patience, I guess.

Currently doing 5:2

R13 SW - 71.2kg (157)
R14 SW - 71.5kg (157.6)
R15 SW - 72.2kg (159.2)
R16 SW - 72kg (158.7)
R17 SW - 70.6kg (155.6)
R18 SW - 71.1kg (156.8)

Goal - to get out of the 70s, stick to 5:2 and overall weekly calories.

9/30 - 71.1kg (156.8) - not too shabby after a huge pizza calzone last night.

10/1 - 71.8kg (158.3) - meh, Saturday night and wine influence. Have done a ‘starvation’ day of 5:2 today so scale will hopefully bounce down tomorrow. Normally Sunday morning weigh ins are around the 73kg mark so this is a positive sign.

10/2 - 72.1kg (159) - WT? No reason for this, stuck to 5:2 low calories, normal exercise undertaken. Just one of those things, hopefully it budges tomorrow though!

10/3 - 71kg (156.5) - This is better. Just need it to keep going down and hopefully nothing comes along before the 60s hit to throw me out of whack. Starvation day today so tomorrow’s weigh in should be better.

10/4 - 70.8kg (155.7) - lost track late last night and huge sugar cravings which I caved in to. Loss should have been more after a low cal day but all is entirely my fault. Concert tonight so tomorrow will be bad.

10/5 - 71.6kg (157.9) - this is ok, I had the Midnight Oil concert last night so lots of snacks and a bit of alcohol. Although there was also lots of dancing and walking. Hopefully it will go down as quickly as it went up.

Round 12: 174
Round 13: 171.4
Round 15: 166.8
Round 16: 164.6

Back for Round 18!

9/30: 165.5 Just returned from NYC yesterday. I did pretty well during the week, but once the event was over, celebrated with drinks, salty food and a very long day yesterday, flying home. Lots of water and a good workout is on the agenda today.

10/1: 165.5 Didn't get in my workout yesterday. Business travel just screws with my momentum and energy. Trying to get my 64 oz of water in today.
10/2: 163.4 This drop is just what I needed this morning, because I was not feeling any motivation this weekend. The fridge is stocked with fruits and veggies and stuff for lunch. I have pre-tracked my food. Time to get back into the routine and make this stick!
10/3: 163.4 October is going to be busy, both work wise and on a personal level/family obligations. The potential for stress eating is high. I didn't exercise or drink enough water yesterday. Fought off the late night snacking, but I just didn't feel that great. Lots of sadness in the news yesterday. How I eat and how I exercise is about the only thing in my life that I control... I guess I should look at my going to bed instead of eating a bunch of sweets last night as a victory.

Fine on calories, no added sugar, did some walking. I'm trying to talk myself into a short jog still tonight. Tried quinoa pizza crust for the first time, I'll definitely have it regularly. It's easier to make and less messy than traditional flour or cauliflower crust (which I only tried once but it was a pain to rice and drain the cauliflower).

10/1: 172.5 lbs
Good on calories, water, no added sugar but I made a small dessert with dates. Led a two-hour nature walk at work, which was fun.

10/2: 172.0
Have to be honest, I live in Las Vegas and I didn't get much sleep, spent the day pretty depressed. I wasn't directly affected, it's just too close to home. But, we went out to eat as we do every Monday so I had too many calories at one meal but stayed technically in my day's calorie goal. I also walked/jogged two miles. No added sugar.

10/3: 172.0
Just OK on food, didn't go over calories. I did have added sugar: accidentally had sweetened tea and had Szechuan sauce at dinner. Got a little exercise. Tomorrow's my Monday, will try to get a solid 8 hours.

10/4: 173.0
Had too much sodium yesterday, and probably today, too. No sugar, though. Woke up at 4:00 am for no reason, I hate that. No exercise today, I'll go to bed early and try to get it together to walk to work tomorrow.

CaliMomTeach · October 2017

Just wanted to check in with you all. I was in for a few rounds July - September, but have stopped regularly logging and weighing myself for a bit. I went from 193 (July 2016) to a low of 137 (April 2017). I was up to the low-mid 140s in July. I just got burnt out from logging and staying within a certain calorie count. I have had some days where I have logged, but more where I did not. I expected to have gained a bit, but when I finally weighed myself yesterday, I discovered that I have not gained anything yet (I was just under 140 yesterday). I will join you again if my weight goes up by 5+ pounds, but I think I have found the weight I want to be. I had a goal of 135, but I think this weight is good for me. I am 5-6 and wearing mostly size 4, some 6. I think I am done with losing weight, unless of course I gain some back. I'm going to see what happens without logging and go to weighing myself every week or 2. Thanks for the support for the weeks I was with you!

TerriRichardson112 · October 2017

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has got me back on track big time!

Observations, and Previous Rounds

Many events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it is coming off, bit by stubborn bit! Stick with it! The game continues!

A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:

Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
A high sodium day usually results in a gain due to water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.

Don't beat yourself up over a temporary gain. Trust the process and stick with the programme.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!

10/1 - 139.2 - I made banana bread last night, it was so delicious I had 3 pieces and they weren't small! Today I did a short walk but knee hurt after a while. Physio tomorrow so I will ask exactly how much I can put my knee through.

This group has been life changing for me. Accountability is something that I need.
SW: 172.6
GW: 172 (30 lb. loss when I get there)
UGW: 125

10/01: 172.6 It's officially October! I think I need to break out some hot apple cider. I'll totally skip pumpkin spice.
10/02 172.2 I wasn't expecting a drop of any kind today, but this thrills me to no end. Only 2 more oz. to go, and I've lost a total of 30 lbs. I CAN AND WILL DO THIS!
10/03 172.2 Steady...steady. I put in about 10,000 steps yesterday. I ate all of my calories plus 17 more before exercise.
10/04 172.6 Well, I'm up 4 oz today. I was in meetings all day, so I didn't get as many steps in. I'll get there to that 30lbs...eventually.

10/05: 172.6 Did not eat nearly enough in calories AND didn't get a lot of steps in. I also barely drank anything at all. It wasn't because I didn't want to. I simply had a lot of personal things going on. I have a tendency to not eat much when upset. I've been this way all of my life.

ROUND 18 - my round 5

Round 4 was rough. It included my 30th birthday and many celebrations and lots of food for it. I ended it at 162 which is 0.5 above where I ended last round. So, let's see what this round does. I WILL do more exercise this round.

9/30 162.1 well yesterday was off the rails so I'm not supremely surprised...a 0.1 lb gain is basically just a normal fluctuation - going to do better. Not try -DO
10/1 161.0 - not sure what I did but wahoo!! Actually if I had to pinpoint it - not a lot of food before bed and purposeful exercise and barely any (if any) snacking. MUST KEEP THIS UP!!
10/2 161.0 - gotta keep this going in the right direction - gotta work out today after work no excuses
10/3 161.6 forgot to post yesterday
10/4 161.7 - no exercise the past 2 days - I HAVE to change that
10/5 161.0 - added in a long after work walk yesterday - also no snacks from the snack box at work - mist continue this for another day
