GW - anything under 99kg

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 100

- would it really be too much to ask for a little less this morning? I truly didn't want to see this number. I went over my steps yesterday but didn't have time to eat enough. I even ate right before bed to get some extra calories in... but once Fitbit had calculated my steps, I was still very much lacking calorie-wise. OK went back in edit mode - I lost 400 grams (almost a pound), so I'll shut it!

12/10 - 100.8 - ok 800g overnight (1.6lbs) - day entailed too many carbs, drank my water, hit my calories though! With Italian dinner, birthday cake, etc. The problem being today is just the same with another birthday to celebrate. Oh well that’s life I guess... I have a week to compensate. I’ll end with a very positive note though, as I’m am officially overweight

12/11 - 102.6

- I hyperventilated seeing this number (5.7lbs in 2 days), but as there is NO way I ate that much, I'll say it's the sodium, water retention etc. I have a week to redress the situation!

12/12 - 101.8 - I always wonder how long it takes to reset the water retention balance... obviously it's not overnight, but what 2? 3 days? It's definitely something to take into account when you don't weigh in daily!

TerriRichardson112 · December 2017

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

Current 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.

Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs.

Of course, losing a pound a Round 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 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!

SW: 90kg
GW: 57-59kg
R24EW: 62.6kg
R25GW: 62.0kg - only looking for a modest loss or even maintenance this round as I have 3 dinner parties in the last 3 days!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 - 62.4kg - Had a big whoosh yesterday so am really happy to see it stuck this morning. Staying away from alcohol this weekend as I have a really calorie-heavy end of round looming. Goals: 3/4. Struggling with that calorie average.
12/10 - 63.1kg - I was expecting the bump as I had dinner out and lots of other carby snacks yesterday. All part of the plan though and will hopefully be back to the above weight by Tuesday. Goals: 0/3
12/11 - 63.1kg - The scale was taunting me this morning flicking up a lower number but then settled on this. Expected though with a belly full of pasta from last night! Yoga tonight and a day of light eating will see me back on track. Goals: 0/3

12/12 - 62.6kg - Feeling bloated and hungry and moody AF. Struggled a bit with motivation yesterday and got stuck into the sweets. I did manage not to go mental with the junk food though so I guess that's a plus, right? Goals: 3/4

UGW 140

08/12 - 192 - R24 - The round that I ran out of anti inflammatory pills and my pain came back on like a train, also the round I found out my doctor wasn't really going to help me out, I have more pills now and I think slowly but surely they are starting to work again ... I have around 4 -6 weeks to wait to see a physio and around 35 weeks till I get to see a spinal specialist ... yay for long waits while in pain!

09/12 - 192.6 - had a little relief from my pain, so I done some xmas cleaning (something I am having real difficulty with at the moment, bending and stretching is the worst) after 1 hour I was laid up for the rest of the night in agony, had to sit in an upright position for any relief. looks like my house won't be clean for Santa!

10/12 - 192.4 - went out for a walk today at the xmas German market in town, still walking slowly but I get there in the end!

11/12 - 192.6 - 5 miles on the stat bike and calories higher than I intended -- i can still easily pull them back by average thou.

I'm in for my fourth round

Round 22 start weight - 151.40
Round 23 start weight - 145.80
Round 24 start weight - 147.60
Round 25 start weight - 141.60

I'm aiming to finish this round below 140!!!!

12/09 140.9 so down .70lbs Yay

Still going strong, Cheer comp this weekend though so long days and very easy to eat wrong - but we'll see....

12/10 Didn't weigh this morning - day 2 of comp - woke up to snow so we just got ready and legged it out the house!

12/11 144.60 - according to the scales 3.7lbs on. I know I didn't drink enough over the weekend and I didn't properly track my calories - too difficult when at comp. Not felt great so been sucking on throat sweets and drinking Lemsip drinks too. But I know if I was over it was only a little - I did eat a lot more carbs than normal - but I know it wasn't 13,000 calories worth to justify 3.7lbs so I'm not disheartened! Back on it again this morning as normal and drinking plenty of water. Go away next Thursday so just over a week to go to meet my under 140lb target - I will do it!

12/12 141.30 - 3.30lb down - a whooooosh and then some!!! Shows how much weight can vary depending on what you eat in a day even when you don't exceed calories! No cycle last night either - way too icy out there for me. So overall 0.30 lb since the start of the round - all good - and still intend and on track to finish this round under 140 ...... good food day planned, water bottle is by my side and gym tonight.

12/10 - 152.6 - even though I’ve hit 151 a few times this month, it was always jumping from 153 to 151. Now I feel I’ve actually lost a pound and 152 is a real loss. It’s going down slower but more consistently. Thanks for being here.

For this round I'm going to try to keep every day consistent. Could be a bit tricky with so much on the go this time of year, but its a lifestyle change I've got to make.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09. 189.4. Good start
12/10. 189.6. After a Saturday night involving chili, garlic bread and a good zin, I’m really pleased. Maybe there is something to this moderation thing after all.
12/11. 190.4. Not bad for a Monday morning. Should be able to do better on week days.

I'm back, and I can hear Mom in my head telling me that she knows how hard it is to lose weight and not to lose too much because being healthy is important too. She was always a worrier. I'm going to keep at it for her. She'd want me to.

SW: 202lbs
UGW: 125 lbs
GW: 163.6 - 164

12/09 164.6 *fingers crossed that I stay at the lower end of the 60s* Had my niece and nephew over to spend the night, and I started working on progress reports. I didn't get as much fluids in, and I can tell. I feel like my mouth is dry this morning.
12/10 164.4 My sister-in-law and I took our 4 kiddos out for breakfast with Santa. Then, we went with my parents to dinner, to see Winterland (1 million Christmas lights display), and finally the tree at Monument Circle. They had hot cocoa (I refrained), and we joined a street performer for some Christmas carols. Thought of Mom and how she would have liked to join us. She's in my thoughts daily.
12/11 164.4 I love to bake over Christmas. Don't most of us? So, I started my treats last night. Sugar free, Pineapple Whip. I went for a healthy option.
12/12 165.4? I have absolutely no clue. Maybe due to the amount of steps I took. I drank a lot of fluids, and I ate under calorie which I haven't been doing.

MFP start weight - 223
53 years old. 5'8"

We have a family Christmas dinner on the 17th and I have not seen some folks for a year. Good motivation to keep going. I'd like to lose a couple of more pounds prior to then.

12/8 - Round 24 EW 166.2
Round 25 goal 164

12/9 - 165.2 - What a nice start to this round.

12/10 - 166.2 - Oh boy......no workout, no water and dang that homemade apple cobbler I made sure was good.

12/11 - 167.8 - Good grief, this is not going very well!. It's all on me though. Another day of no workout, no water and basically just laying around being a bum. It's not something I do often but sometimes I just need the down time. Leaving in a few minutes to run, lift and stair master. I have a day full of errands, projects and farm work this afternoon. Tomorrows weigh in will be much better!

12/12 - 166.4 - Yes!!! Going in the right direction now. Gym, water repeat.

12/11 - 246.2 - I did my C25K W2D1 run yesterday. If I had had my food under control, it would have been a bigger loss. I'm trying, but being out of my routine is killing me.

You are doing great! Look back, you've lost 20 pounds in approx 3 months & that is awesome!!!! Either get back to your routine, or maybe it's time to change it up a bit. I get bored with mine, very easily, so I have different ones to fall back on. Starting now, you are back on track. I'm just getting back on track myself, and this challenge is helping me. This is my 4th round.......So....can we do this? YES WE CAN!
