Round 21 - The Plan:
I am away for work for a few days this round so will be practicing intermittent fasting and will have to remember to take my water bottle with me. Got into a good groove last round so looking to keep that going. Would like to get some more exercise this time around though as I only made it out twice last round.

10/30 - 65.6kg - Had a lovely day of not counting yesterday as a bit of mental reprieve. Enjoyed a glass of wine and spaghetti for dinner with my partner. The blip on the scale was expected. Back to high protein, low carb, intermittent fasting for the rest of the round. C'mon goal weight!
10/31- 65.0kg - Good day yesterday, managed to stay away from all the sweets that are in the house at the moment. Almost down past my finishing weight for last round. Didn't get any exercise yesterday but will be hitting the gym today!

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
In the middle of Round 20, it occured to me that I may have reached 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 wondered if I was 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.
Losing a pound would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.
to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me an element of daily accountability which is motivational.
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 does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you stick with it! The game continues!29/10/2017: 159.0 Goals ✅ Holding steady! And still under 160. I call that a successful Round.
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!

I have noticed my hair is thinning, I currently eat around 1650 cals a day and I am losing slowly so I think its unlikely to be that I am eating too little if I eat any higher I am going to stop losing weight, or at the very least it will be lost at an even slower rate than now. (not that I have an issue losing slower but I think 1/4 - 1/2 lb a week is slow enough not to cause other issues such as hair loss)
I've started taking supplements and I am currently using a lotion recommended by the hairdresser to help stop hair loss .. but if it's nutritional then I doubt that it will help.
So I am looking for ideas in foods that might be rich in "stuff?!?!" that's good for hair to help stop the loss. basically I am looking to attack the issue from all angles
I am hoping against all hopes I don't have to choose between thick hair and normal weight. I seriously can't afford to lose any more hair .. :-/
Other than bouts of sciatica I have no other medical issues that I know about .. so I am making the assumption that this is mainly a nutrition problem.
any help / ideas appreciated
I had problems with my hair and nails weakening/thinning a while back. I started taking virgin coconut oil in EVERYTHING (I replaced butter/olive oil with it as a cooking agent and added it to recipes as well) as well as upped my vitamin supplements (calcium/magnesium, Vit C, D,&B). That did the trick for me! I hope you find the answer and are able to grow some more hair back!
TY - Glad it worked for you .. I have just added supplements (3 days ago) so fingers crossed it works for me as well

If anything gives it's usually the carbs for protein.
Hopefully someone better at macros will read this and offer more expertise.
Are you vegetarian?
no I'm not vegetarian, I have meat almost every meal, I'd love to know what foods you use to boost your protein (or do you use powder?) ...
I have never really paid much attention to the macros, but this has me needing to know more ..
I have led you astray! My mind was thinking 120 grams of meat = 120 grams of protein so to me I was just arguing with myself as to how you could possibly not get enough protein. I was going to say just look at my diary so I checked it myself and I haven't been getting near enough protein lately! When I say I haven't been getting near enough it doesn't mean I haven't been getting enough, it just means I haven't hit my macros in a while.
Don't worry, you are not protein deficient, no matter how I made that sound, you get more than enough protein for your weight so that isn't causing hair thinning. I eat extra protein to help with hunger. While I'm at it I may as well give you some high protein ideas and remind myself to get back to them! Egg whites, 2 egg whites with my morning egg ( I just buy them by the carton) 14 g protein, Greek yogurt, every 10 grams has 1 gram of protein, I eat 170 grams with frozen fruit. Chicken breast 50 grams per breast. Oatmeal - Throw some in your yogurt. Broccolli.. peanuts.
I'm so sorry for the confusion I caused.... but you've made me re-evaluate my macros.8 -

That's no problem, easy mistake to make ... TY for the protein ideas .. I do need to start adding eggs and greek yog back into my diet so its a great reminder I made loads of applesauce when we took the apples off our tree a few months ago .. I'm sure those will go lovely in some greek yogurt

10/30 - 206.0 - Feeling slightly overwhelmed with this being the highest I've ever weighed.
10/31 - 204.2 - Didn't eat dinner last night because I was so busy working, getting ready for Halloween, grocery shopping, laundry and putting dishes away. Last thing I felt like doing was prepping a meal. Anyway, I really didn't make good decisions yesterday because it feels so overwhelming. Today will be better meal-wise. I prepped breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plan is to exercise at lunch.
