Round 24
Goal Weight Round 24 - 107 lbs (~1 lb loss)
Date/Weight/Comment
11/29 - 108
11/30 - 107.8 (made horrible food and activity choices yesterday last night - gotta focus or I'll be up/down the entire round 24)
12/01 - 109 - another horrible food and activity day
12/02 - 107.7 - I have been eating more than 1500 Calories every day, staying active/busy but not working on fitness. No weight loss expected with these behaviors. Hopefully today I will keep connected to my needs and desires.
12/03 - 107 lbs
12/04 - 107.3 Yesterday I finally made it down to 1500 calories. I need to do this daily to reach my 2017 goal! Planning on it
12/05 - 106.5 !!! - I reviewed my food record and found a food/calorie error. I have been super close to 1500 calories these past 4 days which explains the weight loss. Started jumping rope yesterday. So much FUN!
12/06 - 108.6 Fancy Dinner Last Night with Calories up to 1900
This increased my average 7 day Calories by 50. Not expecting any long-term damage.

R24
Start :: 182.6
11/29 :: 182.6 - Need to focus on drinking more water today and not succumbing to all the things people keep bringing into the office
11/30 :: 182.1 - Drank more water yesterday than I have been lately which felt good. Skipped my usual frou-frou coffee this morning from Starbucks and surprisingly don't feel "deprived" which is a major victory for me. Gotta keep this up!
12/01 :: No Scale - Traveling for job interview. Hoping to stay on track but I tend to make bad choices when I'm traveling...
12/02 :: Didn't Weigh - Bit of a rough morning. Ate very crappily yesterday and really feel it this morning. Let's see if I can get back on track today
12/03 :: Didn't Weigh - Could have weighed this morning but chose not to, pretty sure it was because I'm scared of what it's going to tell me... Doesn't help that we finally got a stand mixer and the husband decided he wanted to make chocolate chip cookies...
12/04 :: 184.3 - UGH... yep, pretty much what I thought. Back to work today though so the schedule should help this week... Hoping I can get closer to where I started by the end of this round.
12/05 :: 182.8 - Hopefully this is from being extra careful with my intake yesterday and going to try not to screw it up today
12/06 :: 180.6 - Totally was not expecting to see this!!! Although I know I didn’t eat quite as much yesterday this is probably just some water weight since I’ve been upping my intake, but still very nice to see!

Age 60, 5'4" [lost 1/2" somewhere, not the measurement I wanted to lose]
SW 195 [joined MFP Nov 2015, lost 9.5# & got serious Jan 2017]
1st Goal 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
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)
R20 EW 166.5 LW 164.5
R21 EW 164.0 LW 163.0
R22 EW 162.0 LW 162.0
R23 EW 162.0 LW 162.0 = included parade day & Thanksgiving, no food/drink logged
Round 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.

11/24: 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.

11/29: 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.

12/04: 161.0 Net calories -110 & 14c water. Walked dog 3.27 miles. Fitbit 16,955 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 32 floors.
12/05: 161.0 Non-dog walk day / Fitbit 8,455 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 33 floors. Net calories green (barely) & 14c water.
12/06: 160.0 Walked dog 3.1 miles before work and workplace hike (with hills) at lunchtime. Fitbit 17,906 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 87 floors (Ferris Wheel badge). Net calories green & 13c water.

Jan 1 2017 226... I'm 5'6"
Started R6 @ 177.1
First Goal: 170 ✔️
Next Goal: 159 ✔️
Next Goal: Hit a healthy BMI 154.4'ish... Hit it once, now to make it solid!!
End of R23 155.4
11/29 - 155.4 ... (16,300 steps) Slept well, packed my lunch, but not sure what dinner plans will be.
11/30 - 154.5 ... (14.790 steps) So my Grandmother passed away this morning, she was almost 95. I remember her laugh the most, she was always so happy to see us, always in a good mood. She had dementia the last 10 years or so and her quality of life wasn't very good lately. I hadn't seen her in some time, but would often think of her. I will miss her.... I love you Grandma xoxo.
12/1 - 156.5... Too many sweets with tea and a little stress. Not really worried.
12/2 - 157.7
12/3 - 160.7
12/4 - 160.3 ... Yesterday I did my first ever 5k race. I ran it in 36:49, I'm pretty happy with that number as I kinda stopped training for the run. It's a fun run called the Cinnamon Bun Fun Run and they give you a Cinnamon bun after the race, So good. I shared it with SO, who loves them (and me). I ate over cals for the last few days due to Grandma and wanted to give my body a few extras for the race. SO leaves for work in a couple days, I'll be better at cutting then. Need to see those 5's again.
12/5 - 160.9 ... Ugggh but I still feel in control.
12/6 - 159.6 ... Sick, up all night, so tired. SO left this morning, hope back in 2 weeks.

R22 * Start = 143.4
R23 * Start = 142.0 * End 139.6
R24 * Start = 140.0
11/29 - 140.0 - up a squidge, got ambushed by work on an already busy day yesterday: got stressed, no workout, ate 600 extra calories ABOVE MAINTENANCE at the end of the day. Working on being really sensible and sneaking in some extra calorie burning (stairs at work!) today.
11/30 - 139.4 - another tough day yesterday. No workout, to bed early, planning to get my mojo back on today.
12/1 - 138.6 - lowest in over a year! Under calories yesterday and 40 minute workout, elliptical plus stairclimber. Sweating helps my emotional state SO MUCH.
12/2 - 138.8 - under calories and ran 34 minutes yesterday. Think I am dehydrated, drink drink drink!
12/3 - 138.2 - yesterday under calories, ran 30 minutes, stairclimber. Still dehydrated, working on it.
12/4 - 138.6 - finally rehydrated - Yesterday under calories, ran FIVE MILES which is big for me now. Made the healthiest arugula pizza in the world.
12/5 - 138.4 - ate just under my .5 a week loss calories yesterday, 30 minute elliptical. Awake since 3:30AM, not sure what's up, there goes my plan to cut out my energy drink at work
Have to be careful today, no time for a serious workout in the schedule.
12/6 - 139.0 - bounce expected. Under calories yesterday, no workout, good night's sleep! I need to watch that my end-of-day treat does not become so habitual that I can't do without it. A pattern of mine. I leave room in the calories and that's good but the habit part is a red flag for me, I ate it last night even though I wasn't hungry at all.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29- 146.08 A large drop but I'm sure it isn't going to stay. (just yet)
11/30- 146.3 Cautiously optimistic about the weight loss sticking. I just realized today, I am right about a pound over the top "healthy range" bmi. Can't believe I am so close.
12/01- 146.3 Walked to have coffee with a friend then spent the evening Christmas shopping.
12/02-145.86
12/03-145.86
12/04- 145.86 I have maintained the low weight for several days now, but the next few are going to be difficult since I will be away from home. Weather permitting I will have time to get some walking in, but I will be stuck eating out.
12/05-146.08 Very busy today lots of housework and preparing for tomorrow.
12/06-146.74 I barely slept last night. And have been in the car all day. Fast food has my fingers swollen already.

This is no surprise as I feel puffy and seem to be retaining everything. Hoping for a drop in a day or two. We're going out for lunch, but I plan to drink lots of water and stay within my calorie limits. All is well.
11/30 - 148.6
Patience, she said. Patience.
12/01 - 148.6
12/02 - 148.8
Well, I don't get it. I've been within my goals. Thinking maybe it's time for a bigger calorie day to shake things loose. OTOH, I bought some new pants in a smaller size, so there's that.
12/03 - 149
Expected - I ate about 400 extra calories yesterday and am probably retaining some water (and food!).
12/04 - 149
I have a cold and have taken Nyquil a couple of times at night. I think I'm retaining water (although it seems like it's all coming out my nose!). There's also the delay factor from Saturday's extra food. I'll just hang tight for a while. I'd like at least to finish not higher than last round!
12/05 - 148.6
OK! Maybe I can finish this round lower than the last one after all. As long as I'm headed in the right direction, it's all good.
12/06 - 148.8
I wouldn't say I'm on a binge but I am eating a cranberry scone and enjoying it.

This is my very first 10 day challenge! Hoping for some motivation and small steps in the right direction!!!
11/29 262
11/30 261.2
12/01 262.2 Ugh!!! Chinese food!!! Today I will drink all the water!!!!
12/02 262.2 I'll count this as a win. Spent an evening out for my husbands company party and TOM arrived. Definitely a win in my books
12/03 262.6 I didn't eat too much and I participated in a Santa 5k with a finish time if 50:12. I didn't drink nearly enough water, maybe thats why the gain??? TOM could be responsible too?? Maybe a delayed loss because I was surprised I had stayed the same on 12/1 and 12/2? I guess I just keep going and watch and see.
12/04 265.2 Holy Gain!!! I have no idea what happened there. I haven't eaten too much and did not consume too much salt. Hoping just a wacky TOM weigh in??? Hoping for a better # tomorrow!
12/05 264.6 A loss and a very restless night. I may need to just accept this 10 days is not going to be successful and just go into maintenance.
12/06 264.4 Another small loss. Tomorrow I will focus on lots of water!!

12/01 :: 229.2 - I’m happy with this downward trend, hopefully it stays that way xD
12/02 :: 228.8 - but I ended up getting McDonald’s later in the day so I’m willing to bet it’ll be higher tomorrow xD

@quiltingjaine --no, I can't quite figure the pattern out seeing that I'm partial to a downward sliding pattern
@kriskrossness-- our start weight and current weight are so close, however if I hit your goal weight, I would be skin and bones.
Trying hard to control my nibbling tonight. Nervous because I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon for a 2nd opinion to see how bad he thinks my cervical stenosis is and whether I will need surgery to correct it or not. My first doctor said I did, but I'm praying something different comes out of this tomorrow.

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.
12/04 214.0 - I need to get back to basics. Water and tracking. Now that I have a crazy job, I haven't been drinking water - need to do it.
12/05. 212.0 - better yesterday. Tracked everything.
12/06 211.6 - Hopefully I can squeak through to my goal over the next two days... so close!

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 yard
12/4 206.8 No change from yesterday but I’ve been a little whack on my diet. Haven’t cheated nor passed my calories but just haven’t been as organized. Also TOM
12/5 207 ughhhh but it’s ok it’s that time TOM so it’s not bad. I’m sure it will come right down again. Hmmm... I did eat late last night but I don’t think that would do it. I’m sticking to TOM
12/6 206.6 Yay!!! Back to normal8 -
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 but haven't lost in a couple of months. I am aiming to reach goal of 139 before New Years. It's been verrry slow the last couple months.

11/29... 142.2 decent drop, headed to gym today. Think I need some lemon water and ellip I revised my goal to reach 139 before New Years. That's 3 pounds and I haven't been losing for some time so that and a goal of returning to very clean eating. Happy Losing, ya'll.
11/30.. 140.2 Some loss must have been from salt but happy nonetheless. Ellip today... salad and protein.
12/01... 140.2 no exercise yesterday except for mopping, Today, gym.
12/02... 142.6 water, for sure... had a great workout yesterday and some drinks last night.
12/03...142 so tired of being in this neighborhood
12/04... painted the family room on the 3rd and couldn't get to puter.
12/05...141 cleaning and moving furniture was my exercise the last few days. Today, gym

Starting at the same place as I did last round. I really want to get to 159. I did everything I was supposed to do today.

Stayed within calories but too much cheese today. TOM maybe tomorrow.

Off track, need to get back in the swing of things.
12/03: 160, 161.5, or 162, the scale couldn't decide today. Did well on food until 5pm, then it all went sideways. Once again, I'm resolving to do better tomorrow.
12/04: 161.5
Did better on food today than I have the last several days. No added sugar. TOM a few days late, part of the wonderful world of perimenopause, I guess.
12/05: 160

Banana bread is apparently impossible for me to resist these days.

First time doing this, sort of doing this health thing on my own and not telling people yet so this is a nice way to share. Thanks
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.
12/04 - 227.8 - NSV - another day of making my steps, making the right food choices and staying hydrated. The scale isn't surprising given Saturday, and you may laugh but I welcome the learning experience. I'm happy that I'm learning more about how my body responds to certain foods. It'll help me make more knowledge chocies regarding alcohol and treats, which is especially important going into the holiday party season. Hopefully tomorrow the scale will be better.
12/05 - 226.8 - looks like I'm adjusting back from my weekend chocies. NSV - didn't eat the lemon cake a coworker brought into work. I love cake so much lol, saving all my cake eating for the 25th. Mom's cakes so much better, worth the wait.
12/06 - 225.6 - NSV - not going through the drive thru after running errands after work like I would have done in the past. Went home and made a sandwich instead. It's harder to make the right choices when you're worn tired so I'm proud of that.

Mini goals - eat breakfast everyday, drink at least 3l of water/day, do not eat below calorie allowance.
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.
12/05 - 102 - I had a serious memory lapse. I was upset seeing this number, I thought i'd lost only 200g - then I come on my trusty diary and find out the truth! I am happy to see this number. I ate my calories and drank more than my fill of liquids.
12/06 - 101.4 - So close to my goal this round!
12/07 - 100.8
- Goal achieved, now to keep it...

11/29: 143.0/Up down up down...up. Ate within calories today. Third almost 12-hour work day in a row. So no gym yet again.
11/30: 141.8/And saw this for one day last round. Fingers crossed that the downward trend continues! Ate within calories.
12/01: 140.6
/This is a surprise. I won't be surprised if it goes up a bit tomorrow. Ate within calories again.
12/02: 140.8/Not bad. I ate quite a bit today and drank two glasses of wine. Did a little bit of spinning.
12/03: 140.8/Didn't go up after yesterday's eating, so that's good. Ate within calories today.
12/04: 141.4
/And we're back up. Another long work day. Ate within calories.
12/05: 140.2/And down again. I’ll be so excited if I get into the 130s this round! Stayed within calories.
12/06: 139.6/It happened...For the first time in my adult life I saw the lower 160s, 150s, the 140s and now the 130s! My ultimate goal every time I started this journey has been 135. The problem is that now that I'm getting close, I don't know if that will satisfy me...I still feel like I have a lot of fat to get rid of...I have to decide if I'm going to stop at 135 and focus on recomposition instead.

R21 SW 162
R22 SW 159.5
R23 SW 164.9
R24 SW 162.8
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.
12/04
12/05 163.4 3/6. Medical exam: big concern is with hydration and vitamins over the next few weeks. Woohoo! I have that nailed. Calories can be what my body seeks out, but sugar is to be cut. Will probably bump up the nuts to compensate.
12/06 162.8 3-4/6 wow- a very small amount (4oz) of filberts threw my calories way up there. Macros are very skewed because of the nuts. Added prunes as recommended- fresh and tasty. I waddled around with the dog (slipped on ice Monday and hurt the groin) and closing all activity rings is way too ambitious this week. Feeling moderate-good, but weaker.

Back for another round. I haven't ever set a number goal since I started these 10-day challenges, but to keep me in check, I am hoping reach 160 this round. Ultimate goal is to be in the 150s going into the New Year!
Now that I have just jinxed myself, let's see how this round goes! Seriously, if I can just say no to salty snacks and wine during that after-work/pre-dinner time, I might do okay.
SW: 174
Round 12: 171.4
Round 13: 168.6
Round 15: 163.3
Round 16: 164.4
Round 18: 164.1
Round 20: 165
Round 21: 164.5
Round 22: 164.1
Round 23: 161.4
11/29: 161.5 Got my workout in, dog walk, water, and stayed around 1300 cal. I was hungry, though. Had a few cookies last night. I always want a little sweet something after dinner. I boiled some eggs this morning and am going to bake chicken for dinner and leftovers. Need more protein in my diet.
11/30: 161.8 I had lunch out, take out for dinner, AND a chai tea in the afternoon. More calories than my body is used to, but I managed my portions and still dragged myself to the gym for a run. I whine all the way there, but I work out for the feeling after, which never disappoints!
12/1: 162 After such a big drop, thinking this is normal, but there has been some added work stress and processed food this week. Yesterday I had two commitments after work and could not get my exercise in. Back to it today.
12/2: 160.4 Surprised at this, but now that it's there, it's motivation for me to do well today to see what happens tomorrrow...
12/3: 159.9 Got back to exercise after two days off, and did lots of housecleaning yesterday.
12/4: 160 Feeling in control at the moment. About to head into work where challenges await this week. Up against a big deadline and trying to get people to move faster... makes me want to eat the entire loaf of lemon bread I made last night. Knowing this, I have already wrapped one of the loaves and put it in the freezer!
12/5: 160.6 No surprise here. Went out for a filling lunch with wine yesterday and ate some sweets in the evening. Ended up watching a movie with the fam instead of working out... feeling it today and getting the water in! Wanna see that 159.9 again before this round is over!
12/6: 160.4 Busy day today.

11/30 - 265.8lb - never ever am I the same for 2 days; this is strange

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.

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.
12/05 139.5
I'm surprised by this drop (pleasantly!). Knew I hadn’t been so bad to justify yesterday’s rise so maybe I’m levelling off. Fingers crossed I can maintain this downward momentum.
12/06 139.2

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
12/05 143.0lb. I am loving this feeling of being in control and the weight actually coming off - who would have guessed eh ? Lol If I'm this weight (or less) by the end of the round I'll be a happy lady!
12/06 142.4lb
12/07 141.3lb - weighed in yesterday but so busy - my Christmas shopping day!- that I never got round to logging onto here. But after the gym Tuesday night and 20k steps yesterday, I have lost 1.7lbs in the last couple of days - including out for dinner last night with a friend. So pleased too as stayed in control - ate what I had planned from the menu beforehand, wasn't tempted by anything else - all going well and so don't want to lose it at this stage. Out again tonight but have planned dinner before we go and then drinks there but I am going to drive so no alcohol temptation!

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!
12/05 - 64.1kg - Trying not to get discouraged by looking at on my average weight this round, which are my lowest yet. Yoga last night, light lunch and dinner planned today. Focusing on hitting that water goal too.
12/06 - 63.4kg - And I'm back in the game! That's what I have been working towards. I am taking a new approach to reporting for this challenge and was going to start next round but there's no time like the present. I am going to be focusing on more measurable goals and see how that goes. I've been aiming for these anyway but want to a bit more accountability. Goals (see above): 2/4
12/07 - 63.2kg - Don't think I will make my mini-goal but you never know! Goals: 3/4
12/08 - Mini-goal: 62.9kg

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 - 180.9 - Took 2 weeks off of my diet. Gained 6 lbs, but I’m guessing that mostly water weight.
11/30 - 177.7 - I was surprised to see the drop that quickly.
12/01 - 176.4 - Still going in the right direction
12/02 - 175.4 - Only 0.6 lbs away from being back on track. I'm guessing all the water weight is gone so it's going to start getting really tough.
12/03 -
12/04 -
12/05 - 175.7 - Considering I didn't weigh myself for 2 days and was not very faithful to my healthy eating plan I'm pleasantly surprised with these results. I think with lots of water, clean eating, and exercise I still might be able to make it into the 174s this round.
12/06 - 175.6 - I weighed myself but didn’t log it
12/07 - 173.6 - Sometimes I wonder if my scale is broken. I even move it to different places and weigh myself multiple times, but I’ll take it! Now I just need make sure it doesn’t go up by tomorrow.8
