R26SW: 265.4
I’m leaving in the morning for a 2- or 3-day road trip to my home town for the holidays. The next 10 days will be a triple challenge for me, as my weaknesses are travel, holidays, and family. I’m going to rock this!

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 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!
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!

Hello,
This is my first day and my first challenge, starting at 169lbs, highest I have ever been.
The Christmas bloat has already started and if I don't do something now I could have a lot more to lose in January.

Round 23 start weight - 145.80
Round 24 start weight - 147.60
Round 25 start weight - 141.60
Round 26 start weight - 141.90
Loss to date - 9.50 lbs (avg 1.9lb per round)
Am away for 4 days of this round - hotel stay and eating out every day plus will miss my usual gym sessions. Will be walking lots though while away as on a City Break so hope that will limit some of the damage! Then follows Christmas, Boxing Day and also includes my daughters 10th birthday. Damage limitation is my only aim and just to weigh in the days I can. Not expecting or aiming to lose anything - expect to put some on to be honest - just not too much........
12/19 141.60 - happy with 0.3lbs down for day 1. No reason not to have a good day today and stick to calories and plan so hope for a positive movement downwards tomorrow too

This round I'm going to try to keep within daily calorie limit, even when the refrigerator is full of leftover turkey. It'll be a real challenge to maintain where I am, but I find coming here daily really helpful.

12/19 189.6. Yesterday was kind of a lazy day. If I’m going to make a move down most of it needs to be done in the next few days.

Goal for this round: Damage control! Be very careful about all the extra goodies that will be everywhere and exercise as much as possible to offset calories.
12/19: 180.6 Two parties yesterday (breakfast meeting and a cookie swap), so a .8 gain is WAY better than it would have been had I not been on these challenges. Took small servings at breakfast meeting and then just bites of cookies instead of the whole thing.

12/19…162….if I can stay in this 2 pound bounce around that I have been doing since joining the challenges will be good through the end of the year. The last 2 holiday parties the 29th & 30th (at my house and all the cooking etc.) The other 2 on the 24th & 25th shouldn’t be quite as bad. (hopefully).

Goal this round: Maintain. Since it is the holidays and I’ve been carbo-loading for my running, I think I am going to try to maintain this round at my Round 24 average after a little water retention at the end of Round 25. I'll be traveling after the 25th, so will report final weight at the beginning of Jan.
SW 155.7 35.5% BF (July 19, 2017)

Round 17 136.6 29.3% BF
Round 18 138.0 28.5 % BF
Round 19 135.1 27.0% BF (but had a couple extra days in there)
Round 20 133.6 27.4% BF

Still retaining water? Not sure but still high-going to be more careful today!
