Mini-goal for this round: 1825 -
I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
Here I am back to try once more to shift my last few pounds. stay under 160lbs.
to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has got me back on track big time!
Observations, and Previous RoundsMany 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.
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!

19/10/2017: 158.7 Goals ✅ Not what I had hoped for, but a loss nevertheless. This last 12lbs is so hard to shift!
Round 20: (Round 13 for me. Female, 5'2" aged 71, weight in lbs)
Round 20 Target weight: 157 Stay under 160lbs
Daily Goals: pre-log/follow through; balance macros/micros; hydrate; 15+ strength; 15+ flex; 8,000+ steps; close kitchen at 8.30pm!
20/09/2017: 158.6 Goals ✅
21/10/2017: 159.4 Goals ✅ except didn't close the kitchen!!! Just one night out on the town, and look what happens. Got the
snack monsters when I got home!
22/10/2017: 159.2 Goals ✅ This is like watching paint dry! And the weekend isn't helping! Still, I have 5 more days before the next one hits!
23/10/2017: 159.3 Goals ✅ I can live with that. It will drop soon! 159! You're going down!
24/10/2017: 159.2 Goals ✅ Food for thought. It occurs to me that this may be my maintenance weight. I have hovered around 159 for weeks, despite keeping to my calorie goal, (10% below my TDEE), and doing loads of exercise, (and eating back minimal exercise calories). I am in the normal range for my age height and build, so I am wondering if I am being realistic in my Target Goal Weight. I'm fitter and healthier than I have been for decades. I think fit and healthy should be my new focus rather than weight loss!
New Primary Goal - stay under 160lbs.
25/10/2017: 158.6 Goals ✅ No Comment!
26/10/2017: 159.0 Goals ✅ missed posting

Day/Weight/Comment
R19 - 65.5kg
10/20 - 65.8kg - Ate at maintenance yesterday and needed a heavier carb day but am happy to see the bump up was quite small. I still don't trust that I'm in the 65s! Girls night tonight so expecting to be up tomorrow!
10/21 - 66.6kg - as expected!
10/22 - 66.6kg - it's been a mental weekend. Working til 11pm both nights. Not a spare second to myself. Need to go grocery shopping and make some time for exercise tomorrow.
10/23 - 67.5kg - groceries done, lots of health food and no excuses. Glad to be back into a more normal routine. Not sure I'll make goal but would like to see my start weight for the round again.
10/24 - 66.4kg - Only half a kilo until I'm back at my start weight for this round. Low cals and lots of water to make up for the weekend. It would be nice to not be battling against my weekends constantly. I see a frustrating pattern here!
10/25 - 65.5kg - Dinner tonight with the in-laws so am doing some pre-damage control with a run and a light lunch. Intermittent fasting seems to be my friend just now, as does drinking lots of water. Have not exercised once this round so would like to get out there tonight, not for the scale but for my own health and happiness!
10/26 - 65.1kg - C'mon mini-goal!! Within cals, low carbs, lots of water. Finally got to the gym this morning. Going to make plans to get through the two parties I have this weekend without the bump back up in weight. Advice welcome, PM me!
10/27 - 64.9kg - YAY! Almost at my mini goal. Taking the radical step of not drinking at a party tonight to see if I can keep my calories within budget this weekend. I don't even know who I am anymore hahaha. In other news, it was a beautiful frosty morning and I got out for a run in the park. Lovely!
10/28 - 65.3kg - Totally expected. Two words: Caramel. Fondue.
10/29 - Mini-goal: 64.8kg (142.85 lb)

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20: 160.2 Happy for my 3rd day at 160.x! I am hoping that I can leave the 160's behind over the next 10 days!
10/21: 160.4 I was sooooo hungry last night even though I had a nice filling dinner. I had some extra calories and let myself have a few small snacks. Still woke up with a growling and very hungry stomach this morning! Very busy day today, 2 kid birthday parties today with pizza and cake. My plan is to skip pizza (probably chain pizza that really isn't that good) and consider cake once if it looks worth it.
10/22: 160.2 I'm posting later in the day but weight was done this morning like always. Very active day today! W4d1 of C25K, completely cleaning out chicken coop, and hauling lots wood. 21,000 steps and the day is not over yet. I will definitely have water retention tomorrow. My muscles are hurting big time! Plus I will be enjoying some beers during the Pats game tonight. Go Pats!!
10/23: 162.0 I knew I would be up today. Just hoping it goes back down fast!
10/24: 161.8 I expected to be down more today. Ate under calories, limited sodium, and drank a good amount of water. Continued focus today!
10/25: 160.8 slow and steady release of extra fluid. Hoping to finally get below 160 soon. Keeping a deficit daily so it has to at some point!
10/26: 159.4 Finally!! Now to stay here!
10/27: 159.0 Another day on target; W4D3 of C25K completed yesterday. Onward and downward!
10/28: 157.2 Well that's one big whoosh! I fully expect to see it rise again. I was so busy yesterday and didn't drink much water. This could be a bit of dehydration.

10/23 - 153.6 - I have a severe allergy to ragweed and it's been kicking my butt the last two weeks. I allowed myself to rest when I wasn't feeling well, but this weekend I started feeling a bit better and upped my program. Lots of exercise, lots of water, under calories. Seems to be paying off for now.
10/24 - 154.2 - this allergy situation is out of control....I have never had this many problems. I'm just exhausted all the time...had the luxury of sleeping 10+ hours over the weekend, but back to work yesterday and back to struggling to drag my butt around. No exercise yesterday but stuck to my food plan + 1 protein bar but still under calories. I've just started a course of steroid treatment so don't know what that will do to the scale or how I feel but I'm ready to try anything.
10/25 - 153.6 - no exercise again yesterday, but stuck with food plan. Feel slightly better this morning so I'm going to try to get the elliptical in.
10/26 - 152.6 - Well isn't that nice! Stuck to food plan and got 45 min of elliptical in yesterday, but that's an awfully big loss for one day...we'll see if it sticks.
10/27 - 153.4 - I knew yesterday was a little too good to be true. But overall still trending downward and met goal for the 2nd round in a row. Let's see if I can maintain or go down for the next two days! Stuck to food plan and elliptical for 45 min.

10/22 - 177.7 - I was not expecting that! I haven’t been eating the healthiest, but I still stuck to my no dairy, no processed carbs rule and it seems to be working.
10/23 - 178.2 - I knew it was too good to be true. I was a little too flexible on my rules yesterday and I’m paying for it today. Hopefully extra water today will take care of it.
10/24 - 178 - Going in the right direction again

10/20 - 250.2 - So close to be in the 240s! Tomorrow is my birthday, here's to hoping that I give myself that as a birthday present
10/21 - 249.2 - Well, I gave myself a good birthday present. But it came at a cost. I was up all night with stomach issues. Here's to hoping today is better than last night!
10/22 - 251.8 - I took a day off from tracking, exercising, and eating well. Emotionally, I needed a break from the stress. No surprise on the scale. Tomorrow will be better, I'm back on track today
10/23 - 250.0 - Almost back in the 240s. Soon.
10/24 - 253.6 - Bleh. I was good for half the day yesterday. And then I wasn't. I need to get out of this funk.
10/25 - 252.4 - Crazy day at work, but night. I need to get out of this funk but I'm pretty sure work stress is what's causing it. Not really sure how to eliminate that...
10/26 - 250.2 - Had delicious eggs for dinner last night. I feel like I'm starting to get back to it, hoping that my resolve continues.
10/27 - 248.0 - Woo!! Now to continue this downward trend!
10/28 - 247.8 - It's not a gain, I'll take it!!
10/29 -9 -
Hi Everyone!! Back again for your wonderful support and accountability. This group has kept me on track for the last 6 months and I couldn't have come this far without it!!
For the newbies....here is what my daily weigh ins look like over the last 180 days. It's not all down....fluctuations are NORMAL!!! Trust the process and the weight will come off!!!
12w5yhxxsudq.png
SW - 182.4 in March
GW - 145 - SMASHED this last round!!!
I will be continuing to check in here to keep myself accountable as I figure out eating at maintenance. I don't plan on decreasing my activity so it's all going to come down to calories at this point. I have some fitness/activity goals I want to achieve so weighing daily will continue to help me monitor where I am so I can make adjustments as necessary before things get out of hand.
10/19 - 144.2 - coming in from round 19
10/20 - 144.6 - normal fluctuation....had a small piece of cake at a baby shower at one of my client's yesterday and a glass of wine last night...kept calories where they should be at this point I think.
10/21 - 144.0 - Thought I ate enough yesterday...but went for a run in the woods with the dog and spent 8 hours getting the gardens ready for the winter and cleaning the house so I guess I underestimated a bit. I'll use it as a cushion for dinner out tonight
10/22 - 144.8 - went out for dinner last night and didn't get a lot of water in me so I'm happy to keep this under 145...we'll see what tomorrow brings, we have my son's hockey team over for a BBQ this afternoon so lots of treats available....
10/23 - 145.4 - Bleh...ate too much crap yesterday, upset stomach today...
10/24 - 145.6 - double bleh...feeling bloated and and I can't seem to stop shoving food in my pie hole...TOM expected today or tomorrow, at least it will be temporary.
10/25 - 145.8 - Still waiting for TOM and gave in to some salty cravings yesterday. Honestly I'm not the least bit upset with being up a bit. If my hormone gains put me in the 145's instead of the 185's I really can't be.
10/26 - 145.4 - still hangin in the 145's...I'm cool with that
10/27 - 145.0 - Still doing what I need to do...we'll see if I've managed to maintain by the end of the round. I think I may still need to add some calories but TOM is masking things a bit right now.
10/28 - 143.4 - Still losing after the TOM weight wooshed this morning...I figured that working out maintenance calories would be tricky...or maybe my body is telling me it's not done yet.

19/10 - 194.6 - R 19 was better than round 18 but I am still chasing my lowest weight to date( 193.2 lbs) it would be nice to see that number appearing this round. I am still eating lower calories due to sciatica pain limiting my movement, but I am also managing to exercise more now that I was in the previous rounds.
20/10 - 194.8 - a great start, I was scared this was going to jump up to 197 again! .. oh for a round I don't see that number or above!
21/10 - 195.2 - still happy with this, had a drink last night so my cals were higher but still within budget, still drinking my water mon-Fri - I will be happy this round if I do not see 197 or above!! and ecstatic if I don't see 196 or above
22/10 - 195.4 - still happy here .. but seriously hoping it doesn't keep ticking up by 0.2 lbs a day :-/
23/10 - 194.4 - drinking water and still under calories
24/10 - 194.2 - now I am perfectly happy with it ticking down 0.2 a day
25/10 - 195.0 - under cals and still drinking my water from Mon - Fri
26/10 - 193.8 - <<< nice to see this this morning, but I am still 0.6 lbs from my lowest!
27/10 - 193 <<<<< new low
28/10 - 193.8 - I knew it was't going to stay for too long ... but still I have saw it now ... time to chase that weight

Day/Weight/Comment
10/20 What an awful start to the day. I woke up late and completely forgot to weigh. Then there was a train so I had to go around that. Got back on track and then there was a bad wreck (not me) about a mile from work. Somehow I managed to get to work on time.
10/21 180.2 yippee! Hopefully it won't be such a roller coaster this time. Going shopping with my mom today. Most of my pants and a lot of tops don't fit anymore.
10/22 Didn't weigh - honestly didn't even think about it. Yesterday, my mom and I went shopping and we got several things - 2 pairs of pants, 2 tops and 4 skirts. We were going to do more but instead adopted a dog for her and my dad! So cute. I hope he works out for them. My mom has lots of back and leg issues from a car wreck years ago and my dad has Parkinson's. Their dog passed away from bladder cancer 1 1/2 years ago and it was time for them to get a companion.
10/23 181.8 not too bad but up again. Mondays always seem to be the worst days to weigh. I don't drink water like I should and eat too much over the weekend. When I'm at work, I eat sensibly (usually) and drink 60-80 oz of water (I know some people say that doesn't matter, but to me it does). On the weekends, I drink lots of coffee and diet Pepsi and, well, eat too much. I know this is something I need to work on. I want to see the 170s so bad! I haven't weighed less than 180ish in years!
10/24 183.0 I am getting a bit frustrated. I am logging everything I eat and drink. I am very rarely over calories so I don't understand. However, a work friend (who is a larger lady) told me today that if I get any skinnier that we couldn't be friends anymore She was completely kidding of course, but she said that I looked like I'd lost weight just since yesterday. I know the scale isn't the only indicator of weight loss but it's the most obvious (at least to me). I'll have to take some measurements tomorrow morning, if I remember, and see if I've lost some inches. Onward and downward!!
10/25 182.8 maybe, just maybe. I've been drinking lots of water, as usual, and was under my calorie goal for the day. Got home @ 8:20 last night and didn't want to make dinner, but I had been planning all day to make a "stir fry" with chicken breast, rice, broccoli and cauliflower. So I did. And it turned out wonderful. Only 890 calories for the whole thing and I ate half. I brought the rest for lunch today.
10/26 183.2
10/27 183.2
10/28 178.8 wow! I guess I had a whoosh. This is a loss of 26 lbs. I've been whining and boom! This is the first time in over 20 years that I've weighed less than 180.

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years.

10/20 140.8 down slightly.goals for today: gym and walk or ellip. and water, water, water.
10/21 140.4 Off to camping. Have a lovely weekend.
10/22 quite a lot of cross country hiking. Camping.
10/23 139.8 Thank you, Universe! I believe in my ability to lose weight and keep it off.
10/24 140.8 no problem... no exercise yesterday, tired from weekend's hiking. Today, gym, protein and water.
10/25 140.6 Happy with this weight as I had cornbread and homemade navy bean soup = lots of carbs and sodium. Went to gym. Today: elliptical. greens with protein and water, water, water.
10/26 142.4 Well, hell. Salt from dirty martinis once again. Needed to get out so i accept the consequences. Hopefully it will come off before end of this round which is going by realllly fast.
10/27 142 Need a low carb day to get back down. It is taking me forever to get in the 130's. One day there doesn't count. Definitely not enough exercise this week which doesn't help my goal and lunch out tomorrow. Aw well, I'll do better next round.
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS to me? My maintenance, per different sites should be around 1750 Cals at my current weight. I am staying around 1200 and not eating back exercise cals. MFP tells me, at the comment it makes when you finish logging for the day, that at 1200 cals I would stay the same, not lose. It makes no sense to me.

I believe in my ability to lose weight and keep it off.
Have you thought of taking a diet break? It's something that probably everyone should do, but especially with you eating at such a large deficit for an extended period of time and the fact that you are so close to your goal weight, a break may help. Here is a link to a forum discussion that is really helpful: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10610288/increase-calories-one-day-per-week/p1
Thanks, I'll look it up but my question isn't so much about losing - I do take cheat days and enjoy them - but how the heck FP figures I'd not lose at 1200. I think there is something wrong with their algorithm that figures your 5 week weight loss at the end of the day or else there is something else I don't understand.4 -

inching along. Went to yoga 4 times this week, trying to make it a habit. I want to aim for 5 days next week. I **Think** my period is over??? Thank God. Periods and new exercise routines make weight crazy so overall I'm happy with how these 10 days are going.9 -
Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years.

10/28 140.2 That's better. Went to gym yesterday and a little on ellip. Today lunch out with the girls and a drink. I've picked out my lunch and will take home half and stick to one drink. I really want to drop below the 140 barrier and stay below.

Goal: Get to maintenance by the first of the year!
8/27 147.6 ~ (Steps 18,495 Miles 7.36) ~ Today's my sons birthday......Yesterday I was able to get a nice morning walk in plus hit the gym in the evening since it was too hot outside. I had to push myself to hit the gym, it did pay off in the scale, yay! Another pound off, I'm trying to lose the 5 pounds I gained from vacation,
8/28 148.8 ~ Yesterday, since I didn't get ANY exercise in plus my sodium was high, I have a gain. I didn't over eat though so my gain is only a pound. Yesterday's, was a success in my books!
8/29 148.3 ~ (Steps18,169) Miles 7 ~ I was hungry the whole day but was able to stick to my dairy, keeping my sodium low. I decided to try getting a workout before getting breakfast. Last night I had to alter my menu since my husband got off late from work. On the plus side a couple workouts during the day helped.
8/30 147.9 ~ (Steps 19,101 Miles 7.7) ~ Yesterday went well with goals, I was able to get a couple workouts at the gym. I switching up though, having my protein drink after my first workout. I need to focus on more fruits for snacks, after vacation, I'm having trouble incorporating them into my diet. Not at my goal for this round but I'm ready for the next round! R 15 EW: 147.9R16
This will be my 2nd round, too

8/31 146.4 ~ (Steps 28,910 Miles 7.75) ~ Yesterday I was able to get a couple workouts in plus a morning run.... My vacation weight is starting to drop off, only a couple more pounds..... Consistency to no late night snacking is the key
9/01 147.9 ~ (Steps 20,039 Miles 8 miles) ~ I don't understand the gain, I was able to get a nice workout last night plus my sodium wasn't to high. I also ate under my calories allowed so I'm really disappointed with the gain. I did have some watermelon last night but that shouldn't matter.
9/02 148 ~ (Steps 15,232 Miles 6) ~ We went to the Spring fair so my diet wasn't like it usually is, I was able to stay under my calorie goal, making smart choice. I also got a workout after the fair.
9/03 148.5....147.9 ~ (Steps 17,547 Miles 7) ~ Again with the gain, doing everything right, I log everything, stay within my goal, sodium is low, get my water in. I'm going to try dropping my intake to see how that works!
9/04 148 ~ (Steps 15,435 Miles 6) ~ We ended up going to dinner last night but I was able to make healthy choices, in fact taking half home for breakfast today, with such large portions
9/5 147.4 ~ (Steps 17,376 Miles 7) ~ Spent most of the day getting ready to head to my daughter's for the week. Met all my goals for the day.

9/7 148.6 ~ (Steps 12,787 Miles 5) ~ All around good day, just ate late so weight was up!
9/8 148 ~ (Steps 24,548 Miles 9.75) ~ I was able to get some nice walks in with my grandkids and daughter. Our dinner consisted of a grilled spinach salad. Today going back home so tomorrow's weigh in will be with my scale.
9/9 147.9 ~ (Steps 15,416 Miles 6) ~ Yesterday was hard to stay focus but I was able to get a nice morning walk in plus stay under my calorie goal.R 16 SW 147.4R17
