    I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance/refeed for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. I want to offset hormonal changes that occur when losing weight for extended periods of time that can make it harder to lose and maintain weight and I'm hoping to alleviate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    11/29--222.2 Still bouncing up and down. Need to mentally stick with it and not let the number on the scale derail my efforts.
    11/30--221.1 Went out after work and had a couple of drinks, which I rarely ever do. Got home and fell asleep at 7 without eating any dinner. Feeling a little foggy this morning, I don't expect to get much done at work today.
    12/01--222.6 My manager's retirement lunch was yesterday, so between extra sodium from lunch and the fact that I barely drank anything yesterday, this bump in weight was totally expected.
    12/02--221.5 Up and down. Getting back to plan. Eating at maintenance today. Going hiking today.
    12/03--223.5 Ate at maintenance yesterday. Going to kettlebell today.
    12/04--223.6 Ate at maintenance yesterday.
    12/05--221.5 Lost the water weight from eating at maintenance this past weekend. Finished W5D2.
    12/06--220.4
    12/07--220.9 Nice to see that my trend is going back down. Going to kettlebell today.
    12/08--222.0 Ate a little too many cookies yesterday and now the water retention is showing.

    Average Weight 221.9

    This round has taught me how my eating is really affected by the dreary days of winter and how much more difficult it is for me to stay focused during this time of the year. We'll see how the next round goes and then I'll figure out whether trying to lose the weight now is worth it for me or whether I should just take a diet break for the rest of the year.

    Yes, it's worth it! The sun won't shine any brighter in January than it is today! I'm having the same struggle, but we can't take a break because unless we intend to lose the weight and gain it right back, we will be eating this way for the rest of our lives. If it's not good for you this year, it won't be good for you next year! We can do this; you can do this! Common girl - getter done!

    This will be another challenging round. I had surgery (cosmetic) on the 29th, and spending the next week recovering on oxycodone. I’m not allowed to do any strenuous exercise for a week, doctors orders. I'll have to be extra clean with my diet to compensate. Looking forward to staying 100% compliant during my recovery. No alcohol. Consistency is key.

    Female, 5'4"
    Starting Weight: 135 lbs
    End of Year Goal: 112 lbs

    R23EW - 115

    Goal This Round: Average lower than 114.5 lbs

    11/29 • 116 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights this morning. Surgery this afternoon. 3 servings of alcohol. 1700 cal.
    11/30 • 117 • Walked 2 miles this evening. Day 1 post surgery & feeling bloated from the procedure. 1400 cal.
    12/01 • 116 • Walked 2 miles this evening. Day 2 post surgery & still feeling very bloated from the procedure. 1450 cal
    12/02 • 116 • Walked 2 miles this evening. Day 3 post surgery & still bloated from the procedure. 1480 cal
    12/03 • 116 • Walked 2 miles. Day 4 post surgery. My weight is definitely higher from the procedure. But I've been doing really well with my diet. So I'm hoping for a drop off soon. 1350 cal
    12/04 • 115 • Ran 3 miles. Finally the bloating seems to be going down. 1450 cal
    12/05 • 115 • Walked 2.5 miles. 1450 cal.
    12/06 • 114 • Walked 2.5 miles. 1450 cal. Bloating is finally completely gone & my stomach is flat again :)
    12/07 • 114 • Ran 3.5 miles. 1500 cal.
    12/08 • 115 • Ran 3.5 miles. Had a holiday event for my work yesterday and consumed way too much food & alcohol. 2500 cal. Missed my goal for this round. I'm beginning to realize I have to say good bye to alcohol. It seems to be a trigger for me to overeat.

    Average: 115.4

    Pregnant & gaining. Goals:
    A) hydration
    B) vitamins
    C) hit protein goal
    D) toning exercise daily
    E) Complete activity rings!
    F) Self-care including meditation.

    R19 SW 158.9
    R20 SW 156.2
    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 so closing all activity rings is way too ambitious this week. Feeling moderate-good, but weaker.
    12/07 162.4. Been feeling very good, more mobile. Baby has started really moving, and I’m growing! Don’t know why the scale isn’t reflecting this- outgrown half the wardrobe and most belts. Yoga is really working to fix my pelvis.
    12/08 163. Batteries dying in scale thinking now I’m heavier than has been registering. Looking back on the 10 days, I should be proud of my tiny incremental improvements because they are really adding up. I have been very low-stress at work, it has been easy to switch gears and make little corrections without feeling like a failure or overwhelmed.

    R21 SW- 149.82
    R22 SW- 148.94
    R23 SW- 148.94 (no loss last round)

    Current weight- 147.84
    10 Day Goal: 146.34 I want to reach my 20lb mark by Christmas, which means I need to lose just over a lb a week.
    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.
    12/07 no scale Walked about 7 miles today. GPS kept cutting out. Way too much sodium in the food. Fingers are swollen and I am bloated.
    12/08 no scale Continuing to try and make the best choices of those available. Again walked around 7 miles. Can't wait to be home and eating regularly.

    I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

    Change in focus. In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.

    Had a bit of a blip last round as I was ill.

    New Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs.

    Of course, losing a pound a Round would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.

    pretty-pink-welcome-smiley-emoticon.gif 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 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 does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you 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!

    R24 GW 174

    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.
    12/08 - 174 - a little up from yesterday but still hit me goal, so I’m happy with it.

    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..

    12/05 165.9
    12/06 166.2
    12/07 165.8 Still cheating and eating too many carbs! Grrr
    12/08 165.4 I lost1.5 lbs but I feel like it’s more water than anything else! I cheated too much and need to commit to doing better!

    11/29: 143.0 :neutral:/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 :open_mouth:/This is a surprise. I won't be surprised if it goes up a bit tomorrow. Ate within calories again.
    12/02: 140.8 :neutral:/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 :love:/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.
    12/07: 139.6 :)/Today was a day of eating...so tomorrow
    12/08: 140.2: :neutral:/Expected. Friend's bday party today too.

    Life and how I feel about it is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

    SW on MFP - 178
    GW - 145

    Day/Weight/Comment
    11/29 - 152.6 - better than I expected after Thanksgiving + leftovers
    11/30 - 152.6 - mostly good food choices but too much sodium yesterday
    12/01 - 152.6 - 3 days in a row, exact same weight. Hmmmmm.
    12/02 - 152.4 - only a .2 loss after 4 days but better than a gain! I was starting to think my scale was broken!
    12/03 - - - - Oops! Had an early walk date with a friend and was out the door before I remembered.
    12/04 - 151.2 - and there it is! Yay!! My goal of at least maintaining during the holidays seems to be working. Just have to continue to be thoughtful about it all.
    12/05 - 151.6 - well that was short-lived before going in the opposite direction. Errrrrgh!
    12/06 - 152.4 - blaming that on too much sodium for a couple days. I've had plenty of cardio and some strength training, stayed under calories but I did have gluten-free pizza and some potato chips.
    12/07 - 152.2 - starting to feel like this daily weighing isn't working for me. I'm getting a little depressed. :/
    12/08 - 152.2 - ended with a small loss .4 from when I started this round.

    Well, all in all this was an interesting experiment for me. I normally only weigh once a week and now I remember why I made that decision. The daily fluctuations just don't work for me mentally. While I ended the 10-day challenge with a .4 loss I was down below that one day and also saw no loss on a number of days. I got excited for the loss but then went back up again. Had I only weighed on my normal Fridays I would have just seen the total loss and not all the ups and downs. It messes with my head.

    I am managing to maintain through the holidays (so far) which is my primary goal until after the first of the year. Wishing you all good luck in Round 25 and future rounds. I'm going back to my usual Friday weigh-ins.

    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 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 normal

    12/7 205.6 YAY!!! Exceeded my goal for this round. Spent hours building a roof for the patio in the hot sun so hopefully this is not a temp water loss.

    One more day!!!

    12/8 205!!!! Wooo hoooo!!! So happy!!! Let’s do this again!!!! Ready for round 25!!!!

    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!! :wink: )

    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 :wink: 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!

    12/08 141.60lb. Weighed but only just on here to report! Slight gain but drank loads of sparkling water last night when went out so not upset. Very happy with my final weight :) Bring on the next round.
