@lewisea72 Hang in there! This pattern is what I have been doing for months but I have averaged about a 2# loss each challenge. Bouncy bouncy!
@hedyk I don’t know what cosmetic surgery you had but would think normal swelling after something like a tummy tuck would take awhile to go down, less “complex” would be quicker. I would love to have a tummy tuck but hate “going under!”

12/02 212.0 - I've been bouncing around a lot and possibly starting to stall out because I often don't have time to eat much (if at all) during the day so I'm too far under calories. Working on that this week.
12/03 213.2 - not surprised. No tracking so far this weekend.

11/29=222.1- I did this last round also...a big drop between Day 10 and Day 1. No loss last round, but there's a downward trend.
11/30=223.3- Had a great day with calories yesterday and pretty good with steps, but as long as I stay below the last round's average, I'm losing weight, so I'm happy. I like doing the averages; whoever started that on here, thanks! It helps to not panic over daily fluctuations, like with TrendWeight.
12/01=223.8- Well, up again today, but hoping for a better day tomorrow.
12/02=225.6- Not a better day...
12/03=224.3- Still not thrilled, but haven't been doing too well this week, so I'm glad it went back down today. Hopefully, I can get back to it tomorrow and get to losing again.

This is the first time joining in on this! Better late than never and I love the idea of short goals and seeing progress!
Just a little background about me! I am 38, 5’9” and have 3 kids, love tennis (play about 3x a week) and I have about 10lbs I need to shed! For the past few years I have been about 160 and it is a comfortable weight for me. I would love to be 152lbs but that hasn’t happened since I had my 1st kid 15 years ago! In the last 2 months I have jumped up to 167lbs! It’s time to buckle down and shed this weight.. my goal is 157lbs! Wish me luck!
Current weight: 167lbs
Goal weight: 157
Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 Didn’t weigh in, hadn’t joined yet but I tried to eat well all day but cheated when I ate a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips! I need to be accountable so I decided today I was going to get in some groups and find some support!
11/30 167lbs - feeling good so far, eating it on track, played two hours of tennis this morning and am motivated to finish the day with no cheating.
12/01 165lbs - 2lb loss! Probably water but I like seeing the scale move! Today was a good day, lots of tennis and I ate really well with no cheating! On a side note my car got broken into which was a bummer but only my garage door opener was taken. Scary and not a great way to start the day! Hoping to see a loss again tomorrow!
12/02 164.4lbs - yay!! Another half a pound! I’m sure it’s all water but still feels great.. I bet it’s going to be tougher from this point on.. I am going to try to stay strict tonight but we are going to the casino tonight, eating out and drinking!! Uggg!
12/03 ??? I stayed overnight at the casino so I didn’t get to weigh in. I did good yesterday but I’m sure the drinking will make me bloat. Today was a cheat day for me. I pretty much ate what I wanted. I’m not going to be happy tomorrow with my weigh in but I will be good from here on out!!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29- 227.2 - non scale victory is staying within the daily calorie plan while also going to the movies with friends and not drinking a soda! Popcorn needs soda and I'm proud I just got water instead.
11/30 - 226.4 - NSV - after a few weeks of dealing with the happy/annoying fact that nothing fits anymore (it's good cause everything is too big, but nothing fitting right whether big or small sort of sucks), I went shopping for jeans. I wasn't sure if I'd lost enough cm to fit a size down, but I did! I'm officially a size 16 for the first time on 3 years and they were $16. So happy I don't have to pay $90 for jeans anymore. Great day
12/01 - 225.6 - NSV - started baking for Christmas, three different cookies so far, haven't eaten single one. Goal is to not eat any until the holiday break.
12/02 - 225.4 - NSV - exceeded my steps today by 4,000 but splurged on calories, which I'm ok with because it's only one day at my friend's wedding shower and also date night with my husband. Tomorrow's weigh in might be rough but still feeling good. Back on the wagon tomorrow.
12/03 - 227 - the scale isn't surprising, I ate twice my daily calories between cake, pizza, drinks etc., but it was expected. NSV is I had a good day, did my steps, made the right food choices and did my meal prep for the week, even though I was tired and didn't want to.

Age 60, 5'4" [lost 1/2" somewhere, not the measurement I wanted to lose]

2nd Goal 145 = normal BMI
UGW Range 140 - 145
I weigh first thing in the morning when I get up. My scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day. Previous round EW 162.0 LW 162.0R20 SW 166.0 10/20/17 (my round 1)

R22 EW 162.0 LW 162.0
R23 EW 162.0 LW 162.0 = included parade day & Thanksgiving, no food/drink loggedRound 23 (previous round)
11/19: 165.0 Expected jump from parade day. Staged holiday parade in a.m. Gave myself day off from logging & to imbibe / eat whatever I wanted. Drank adult beverages, ate restaurant meal and treats at home. Totally worth it! Walked dog 2.83 miles in afternoon. Fitbit 14,794 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 hours and 19 floors.
11/20: 163.5 Net calories red 18, sodium red 647 (ack) but sugar green (yay), 12c water. Walked dog 3.26 miles. Fitbit 13,815 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 29 floors.
11/21: 162.5 Net calories & sodium green, 11c water. Walked dog 3.4 miles before work. Fitbit 15,951 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours (one hour at optometrist) & 31 floors.
11/22: 162.5 Non-dog walk day. Paced in office during webinar. Fitbit 13,083 steps, 250+steps 13/14 hours & 28 floors. Net calories, sodium, carbs all red. 13c water.
11/23 = Thanksgiving Day (US) 162.5 Walked dog 3.06 miles before work. Fitbit 15,055 steps, 250+steps 13/14 hours (one hour in church) & 40 floors. Net calories green & 12c water.
11/24: 162.5 Weight is big surprise day after Thanksgiving. A day off from logging adult beverages & food for me, and ate what I loved (just not as much), limited wine to one glass. Felt absolutely stuffed after dinner, can't eat like I used to, which is an excellent thing. Ate very small pieces of pie (couldn't resist apple & pumpkin) later for dessert and no supper, just ate hard boiled egg for late evening snack. As planned, walked dog 3 miles before travels (had 5 1/2 hours round trip in car) & drank plenty of water = 14c. Fitbit 10,102 steps, 250+ steps 5/14 hours (yikes, that was sedentary) & 5 floors.
11/25: 163.0 Net calories green (barely) & 12c water. Walked dog 4 miles & raked backyard for final time this year. Fitbit 17,908 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 hours & 46 floors.
11/26: 164.5 Gave in to way too many Cheetos as evening snack w/ hubby & net calories / sodium very red. Non-dog walk day, lazy Sat. & movie date w/ hubby, felt good to have an easy day. Fitbit 3,851 steps (ack!), 250+ steps 7/14 hours, 6 floors & 10c water. Still, very happy to stay under 165, there is no target date.
11/27: 163.0 Net calories green but sodium very red & 14c water. Walked dog 3.62 miles. Fitbit 13,663 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 33 floors.
11/28: 162.0 Non-dog walk day (Packers played Sun. night game). Fitbit 7,685 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 31 floors. Net calories green, sodium red & 15c water. Next round, here I come!
11/29: 161.5 Walked dog 3.09 miles before work. Fitbit 17,682 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom) hours & 36 floors. 14c water / not sure about net calories, had to guestimate for wine tasting and appetizers sampled at spa open house, totally worth it.
11/30: 162.0 Happy hour w/ 1 pint beer & dinner at Mexican restaurant / net calories -810 (guestimated) and sodium sky high / 15c water. Walked dog 3.07 miles before work. Fitbit 13,444 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 38 floors.
12/01: 160.5 Net calories green & 15c water. Walked dog 3.08 miles before work. Fitbit 14,665 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 hours (boom!) & 41 floors.
12/02: 161.0 Walked dog 3.39 miles. Fitbit 13,041 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 hours (day off work for washer & dryer delivery & classic holiday movie date with hubby) & 13 floors. Net calories w/i 100 green & 10c water.
12/03: 161.0 Walked the Jingle Bell 5K with chip time of 44:37 and average pace of 14:22, beating my goal of 45 minutes. Woohoo! Then walked dog in afternoon 2.65 miles. Fitbit 19,155 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 hours & 20 floors. Net calories w/i 100 green & 12c water.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 - 103.2kg - Whaaat? OK, I've been eating out since travelling, but there must be some hidden ingredients somewhere. My weight is definitely not going in the right direction
11/30 - 102.6 - again, a very familiar number but at least it's going back the right way...
12/01 - 102.2 - The eating was subpar today, too much caffeine, not enough water - will probably be reflected on the scales tomorrow. Traveling home today, need to be mindful of airport lounge food, too easy to indulge to ease the fatigue.
12/02 - 101.6 - I'm skeptical seeing how last night involved a party bash where pitchers of mojitos were involved. Indulged in too many sweet potato fries afterwards - I almost didn't weigh-in today (cowardly), but I joined this challenge for it's daily accountability after all! this is going to show tomorrow probably.
12/03 - 102.2 OK, this was this morning... and tomorrow will be worse. I had a carrot cake attack me from the right. It was completely unplanned. This is pure nightmare material
12/04 - 102.4 - Yup, not that bad, but I was apprehensive about getting on the scale this morning. I will have to keep it in mind on my journey - ignoring it is one of the reasons that allowed me to get to this weight in the first place.

11/29 162.8 my new outlook of thinking ahead and planning to hit my goals was motivation today. I took a more challenging yoga class, and ate in a way I’m proud of. My lunches are definitely helping my work flow.
11/30 163. 4/6. why do leftovers run out and where is my home cook? I am proud of myself for getting off the couch and putting in the effort to walk the dog and move some items downstairs. It was so hard to dig out that energy tonight.
12/01 160.8. 2/6. Thought I did bad on protein, turns out much the same as always.
12/02 160ish 3/6. Did not eat enough.
12/03 166.9 3/6. Over-ate all day to hit said calorie goal with the consequences of having terrible heartburn for the first time. Enough of that! I’m going to eat as much as I’m hungry for and let my body seek out an equilibrium. I’m under average appetite and that’s ok. I’m not starving.

11/28. 208. I’m excited!
11/29 207.6. Yesss! Can’t wait to see if this accountability works for me
11/30. 207.6. I had a BAD day yesterday and this morning. No matter how much I ate I was starving and craving sweets. Came to realize today when my sugar went low that I had not had a hot meal in days
12/1 207.2
12/2 207.2 I ate out today but stayed within my calories
12/3. 206.8 I’m in my goal weight for this round!!! Let’s see how much more I could do with my remaining day! Spent my day working in the yard5 -
The Plan: Light lunches during the week | Avoid Christmas treats at work | 2L of water a day min | Yoga/walk every other day
SW: 90kg
GW: 57-59kg
R23EW: 63.9kg
R24GW: 62.9kg (Which was also my goal for last round)
11/29 - 63.9kg - I feel like I have dodged a bullet last round. Looking forward to being back on track for Round 24!
11/30 - 63.5kg - Woop woop! Going to focus today on meeting my water goal and will do a nice yoga session when I get in from work On another note, I finally feel like my vitamin D and iron supplements are working! Yay!
12/01 - 63.3kg - Kept my sugary treats down to 2 pieces of dark chocolate, had a delicious veggie-ful dinner and did half an hour of yoga. Feeling very saintly. Super exciting milestone coming up as well, which is keeping me motivated. Hope to share it with you all soon!
12/02 - 63.2kg - Creeping slowly down. Instead of getting frustrated I'm going to focus on the fact that I have lost weight on a Saturday, which is basically the unicorn of weight loss for me hahaha. Going to have an alcohol-free weekend and get lots of water in. I want to see a whoosh!
12/03 - 63.8kg - Well the plan was slightly derailed by delicious mulled wine but I'm happy to see my weekend high weight staying under 64kg. My mini-goal is still within reach!
12/04 - 64.8kg Hahaha see my comment on yesterday's weight. You have to laugh or you'll cry. I am blaming last night's three course meal at my mother-in-laws house!

I'm in for my third round
Round 22 start weight - 151.40
Round 23 start weight - 145.80
Round 24 start weight - 147.60
I'm aiming to finish this round about 143.50.......
(Was my target for the last round but don't understand quite what went wrong! New round, new goals....)
Cheerleading showcase for my girls this weekend and out with my bestie Wednesday 6th for a meal and a catch up - other than that no major events planned where I'm not in total control. Meals are all planned, MFP is at the ready and my water bottle is at my side - so here we go .......................................
11/29 145.80 -down 1.80lbs so back to where I was on 20th November! Gym last night and plenty of water yesterday. 5.6lbs down in 21 days so not all bad. Good food day planned today so hopefully my end of round target is achievable.
11/30 145.30 down half a pound so almost back to my lowest from last round before THE chinese weekend! Lesson learnt though about how much just one evening off track and less water intake can affect weight.
12/01 144.80 down another half a pound so back to my lowest weight from the previous round. Onwards and downwards from here hopefully! The weekend ahead - but my food is all planned - just need to avoid the temptation of all the goodies that will be on sale at my daughters' cheerleading showcase this weekend and keep drinking the water!!! Really going to try and stay focused .....
12/02 144.0 lbs - 0.80lb down since yesterday - lovin' this round so far - just need to keep focused over the weekend as its Showcase Day!!! got my big bottle of water to take and a couple of apples stashed in my bag in case I feel the need - but feeling motivated at the minute as its all going in the right direction.... Even managed to avoid any chocolate or pork scratchings out the advent calendars (which means kids and hubby will need a diet by New Year!! )
12/03 142.2lb - down 1.8lbs according to the scale but this is distorted as ate main dinner at lunchtime before we went to Cheer Showcase in the afternoon / evening and then only had a snack when got home. Theory was I wouldn't then be hungry when there and seemed to work as did avoid the sweets and festive temptations there (munched on my apple and carried around my water bottle the whole time!) so feeling pretty virtuous today So with that in mind and our Sunday roast tonight I am expecting the scale to go up tomorrow but know it won't be a true gain. Expecting the scale to return to a true weight probably on Tuesday? Feeling like I am getting more in control of weekends - finally! Just the holidays to work on.......
12/04 143.6lb - as expected up from yesterday - but most importantly 0.40lbs down from Saturday which being over a weekend I haven't achieved before - so feeling pretty good today. Has set me up in a good frame of mind for the week ahead - out for a meal on Wednesday (but checked the menu in advance and planned in to my day what I will order) and cheer comp next weekend so need to be careful how I start the next round! Happy Monday

Here I go with another round. Christmas celebrations have started already - lots of eating out so need to be extra good at other times.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 140.7
Same Weight as start of last round. Another difficult 10 days ahead though - too much eating out. Goals are to make sensible choices, drink lots of water and not too much alcohol.
11/30
12/01 141.5
Can’t really explain the rise. Need to trust the process
12/02
12/03
12/04 142.2
It’s been a tough weekend- too much socialising and not enough discipline. I’ve got 3 days of ‘normality’ before it starts again so plan to knuckle down.

11/30 168.2
12/1 167.4 I am feeling like a yo yo here. Lol
12/2 166.4 I haven't been drinking water or anything else hardly since Mom passed. I've been really pushing it the last 2 days. I feel like I've been living in the bathroom.
12/3 167.4 I think my body really likes this number. I see it a lot. I did a lot of walking yesterday. It's the Christmas season, and our kids need normalcy. So, we went on our towns Christmas Walk and took the kids to see Santa. Maybe tomorrow it'll be back down.
12/4 166.8 We went and picked out our Christmas tree. It's HUGE! We also went to the drive in and saw some classics: Home Alone and A Christmas Story. Good weekend with my family, but I did cry a few tears last night. I'm missing Mom.

11/29 191.4
11/30 191.4
12/01 190.0 Really pleased, but my weight can fluctuate a fair bit daily. Going to work on reducing the swings.
12/02 194.4 An unexpected jump. Ate out last night but went with a healthy option, no fries, etc. Will try to have an active day with a calorie deficit
12/03 192.8. At least the right direction. 1/2 hour running yesterday and hopefully another active day today.
12/04 191.4. I’m thinking Friday nights meal was more laced with sodium than I expected. Happy to be back at my start weight and hope to get down a bit in the next few days.

This is the first time joining in on this! Better late than never and I love the idea of short goals and seeing progress!
Just a little background about me! I am 38, 5’9” and have 3 kids, love tennis (play about 3x a week) and I have about 10lbs I need to shed! For the past few years I have been about 160 and it is a comfortable weight for me. I would love to be 152lbs but that hasn’t happened since I had my 1st kid 15 years ago! In the last 2 months I have jumped up to 167lbs! It’s time to buckle down and shed this weight.. my goal is 157lbs! Wish me luck!
Current weight: 167lbs
Goal weight: 157
Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 Didn’t weigh in, hadn’t joined yet but I tried to eat well all day but cheated when I ate a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips! I need to be accountable so I decided today I was going to get in some groups and find some support!
11/30 167lbs - feeling good so far, eating it on track, played two hours of tennis this morning and am motivated to finish the day with no cheating.
12/01 165lbs - 2lb loss! Probably water but I like seeing the scale move! Today was a good day, lots of tennis and I ate really well with no cheating! On a side note my car got broken into which was a bummer but only my garage door opener was taken. Scary and not a great way to start the day! Hoping to see a loss again tomorrow!
12/02 164.4lbs - yay!! Another half a pound! I’m sure it’s all water but still feels great.. I bet it’s going to be tougher from this point on.. I am going to try to stay strict tonight but we are going to the casino tonight, eating out and drinking!! Uggg!
12/03 ??? I stayed overnight at the casino so I didn’t get to weigh in. I did good yesterday but I’m sure the drinking will make me bloat. Today was a cheat day for me. I pretty much ate what I wanted. I’m not going to be happy tomorrow with my weigh in but I will be good from here on out!!
12/04 - 167.2lbs!!! Ugggg! Drinks sun and fun to blame.. Back to work and lesson learned..

My goal is to reach 10% body fat by year end... actually by 12/30 because that is when my Dexa is scheduled. I'm going to list weight and BF% based on my scale, which is going to fluctuate at times as diet changes. On some days - and I know when those are based on diet - it will be inaccurate.
Round 22:Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/9 - 149.6 lbs. - 16.8% - scale is reading higher than actual BF%
11/10 - 148.4 lbs. - 15.9% - scale is still higher than actual BF%, but getting closer to actual
11/11 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.9% - scale is higher than actual BF%, this time not expected
11/12 - 148.6 - 16.8% - scale is still showing higher than actual BF%, still not entirely expected. I have a theory as to what is driving the incorrectly high BF%.
11/13 - 148.6 lbs. - 18.5% - Yesterday was a re-feed / glycogen replenishment day. I'm surprised weight did not also increase, but expected BF% to be unreliable. I expect it to remain that way for the next 2-3 days.
11/14 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.4% - Depending on whether I eat a lot of fibrous green vegetables today, BF% will either stay pretty stable by tomorrow morning or will decrease. I may find it hard to feel full without lettuce or green beans... but since scale BF% is just artificially high if I eat them and real BF% is not truly much different, I'm probably going to eat greens if I'm hungry anyway.
11/15 - 146.4 - 15.6% - No veg yesterday, scale is closer to a correct BF%.
11/16 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9% - No veg yesterday again, and BF% is almost right where I would expect Dexa to come up. The idea that eating low carb green / fibrous veggies would affect the scale BF% so much is a relatively new revelation. Thinking back, the last Dexa was 0.3% lower than the scale on that same day (that is extremely close); and my scale is ALWAYS higher than any other measurement method or device - including other bio-electric impedance devices, which are always super low. When that last Dexa was taken and it was almost the same as the scale, I had not eaten plants for 45 days prior (except coffee, tea, and small quantities of seasonings and sauces). I still plan to eat some low carb (net carb) fibrous veggies while I continue to strive for 10% BF by 12/30, but will do take breaks occasionally to get a better idea of where Dexa will come in.
11/17 - 147.8 lbs. - 13.9% - Slight weight increase, not sure why... probably water weight. Another day without veg and BF% is spot on as close as I'm going to get to being real. Tomorrow is going to be high again based on today's planned diet.
11/18- 146.0 lbs. - 15.4% - Did not expect weight to decrease, but expected reported BF% to rise.
Round 23:Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/19 - 145.8 lbs. - 13.5% - Did not expect BF% to drop this much this fast.
11/20 - 147.6 lbs. - 16.2% - Both increases were expected based on yesterday's food plan. Should see decrease over the next few days until Fri. morning, which will go back up again.
11/21 - 147.0 lbs. - 15.7% - Expected a small decrease. Expect another small decrease tomorrow.
11/22 - 146.6 lbs. - 15.3%
11/23 - 145.6 lbs. - 14.8% - Will be higher tomorrow.
11/24 - 147.2 lbs. - 14.4% - Did not expect BF to decrease, but maybe that is delayed...
11/25 - 145.8 lbs. - 15.2% - There is the delayed fat storage.
11/26 - 145.2 lbs. - 15.7% - Did not expect another rise in BF%, but I can only assume it is continued delayed fat build. Tomorrow will be higher probably of both weight and BF.
11/27 - 146.4 lbs. - 17.0% - Increases expected.
11/28 - 150.4 lbs. - 14.6% - Had a spontaneous free meal yesterday and paying for it with weight gain - meal itself was probably around 4-5 lbs., including water in food... so this is about right.
11/29 - 149.4 lbs. - 14.9% - For this round, I'm going to make a few changes. I'm not sure exactly what to expect at the beginning, but should have lower BF% by the end of the 10 days.
11/30 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9%
12/1 - 144.4 lbs. - 14.7%
12/2 - 144.8 lbs. - 13.3% - I'm thinking this is about right again for BF%, but let's see if that holds for the next few days without changes that affect the scale calculation.
12/3 - 142.2 lbs. - 16.1% - BF definitely reading too high, but not sure why this time.
12/4 - 143.2 lbs. - 16.2% - Definitely unexpected BF... consistent with yesterday, but still incorrectly high. Unsure why.
