Hope you get to feeling better! Congratulations on weighing less than 200!5 -
I think I just posted Round 27. I’m worried about @cyranda63 as I have not seen a post from her since Christmas. My apologies if I should not have done this.2

Yes, MANY thanks to @cyranda63 and I totally agree, @SheilaBoneham - seeing others' daily ups and downs IS both inspiring and reassuring!!
I agree 100%. With this group, I don't feel so alone. It's become more to me than losing weight and having accountability, but it definitely pushes me to be on track and not as hard on myself as I was in the beginning of my own personal journey.5 -

12/19 147 Finally feeling somewhat better. Too many things to do to get ready to leave on Christmas trip tomorrow.
12/20 146.5 Now my husband is sick. I knew he wasn’t feeling well when I came home and packing hadn’t begun!
12/21 147 but it was the middle of the night. Couldn’t find a comfortable place to sleep. We were supposed to be on the road to OK but are still both sick. UGH!!!
12/22 146.5 Both sick and I know I’m not eating enough. Don’t care.
12/23 144.5 I had been way below calories and macros earlier this week but made myself eat anyway. I also started using a different app which gave me MORE calories! Hope this isn’t a fluke.
**The last time I was this weight was between 11/15/11 and 11/22/11!
12/24 145.5 I’m okay with this. After being sick for a week I ate twice yesterday and SALT tasted so good! Hopefully we’re on the road to recovery and will be able to make our Christmas trip in a couple of days. And just that quickly I feel like crap again.
12/25 143.5 MERRY CHRISTMAS! Still not feeling up to par but surviving.
12/26 144.0 We had steak for Christmas dinner!
12/27 144.0
12/28 146.0 Hmmm
Maybe it's all the protein.2 -
I think it may be salt - I ate a BUNCH of Kalamata olives with my Greek salad! My olives and my daughter’s! Not worried though, I’m still down after the last 10 days.2

Off to another round! I might not have made my goal last round, but I plan on reaching it this round for sure!
12/20: 216.1
12/21: 215.7
12/22: 213.1
I need to battle the rest of this round! One more dinner party before Christmas! I'm not cooking that much for Christmas; I may make a mock potato salad with cauliflower since no one eats it but me! I may cook some candied sweet potatoes because my son loves them, but other than that, no sweets for me!
12/23: 212.6
Gotta go! Gotta go! Gotta go right now! Off to the last (hopefully) Christmas dinner!
12/24: 212.6
Didn't do so bad. Resisted the rice, mac & cheese, bread, fried chicken, and dessert! Ate baked chicken, collard greens, fresh sliced tomatoes, and onions! Drank water!
12/25: 213.7 Thank God for allowing us to celebrate another Christmas! I cooked and I ate what I cooked; it was so delicious! I even ate two, yes two, pieces of caramel cake. Tomorrow is a new day, so I will enjoy today, while it is today!
12/26: 216.7
I post with a smile! I enjoyed yesterday; now back on track! Hope everyone enjoyed your family and loved ones during Christmas like I did! Thank God, His mercies are new E V E R Y day!!!
12/27: 218.4
Holding fluid! Not drinking enough water along with too much salt! Hope it looks better tomorrow. Will start back exercising Jan. 02 (Lord willing). Made some low carb breakfast cookies this morning; they taste really good! So far, I like cooking with almond flour. Got a low carb cheesecake recipe I want to try later!
12/28: 217.4
Been meaning to post all day, but I kept getting sidetracked (which is getting easier and easier for me to do)! Well, it's obvious that I didn't make my goal of 212! Every time I get down to 212. ? I start gaining. I wonder if I am unconsciously sabotaging myself? No worries, 212 - I know you're there! You may hide, but eventually, I'll find you!
Oh, yeah!! Look out; I'm coming for you!!! 3 -

How can you eat those things? I tried them once and about yacked. Lol I guess it's one of those things that you have to acquire a certain taste for.
2 -
@nikki062181 LOL I love green olives stuffed with pimentos. My mom always had them in the frig and the Kalamatas taste about the same to me. Black olives are another thing! They smell and taste musty to me so I don’t eat them!1

12/21: 219.8 --bittersweet day-- finally in the 2 teens (barely) , but also finding out that I have to have major surgery done on my neck. 
12/22: 219-- Very happy because I was thinking I would have a small gain-I binged a little on chocolate (sugar to comfort) and have not worked out the last 2 days.
Back at it today to keep it going down as much as possible before surgery because I will be a sitting duck then.
12/23: 219.4 My favorite cousin took me to our favorite seafood spot to help cheer me up---fried food and sodium!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/19 - 220.2 - NSV - after what feels like weeks of eating sandwiches and previously made meal preps from earlier this month, I finally had time to make dinner after work. Usually it's draining but it's nice to not have to microwave dinner.
12/20 - 219.6 - NSV - steps in, only gave into the cookie cravings a few time.
12/21 - 218.8 - let the wooing begin!! Whatever, I haven't seen the 218 on the scale for over 10 years so I'm pretty damn proud at the moment, and you can't bring me down today. Don't worry, it'll go up at Christmas cause I'm going to eat all the turkey and I'll also be petty happy with myself then too.
12/22 - 219.6 - looks like I'm regulating and this also probably marks the start of the alcohol consumption bump (I do hope the concerned wooing folks are feeling better now ), seems even one drink spikes the scales which is normal for me. Since I'll be having a few for the next few days I'm expecting the rest of this round might be gains, which is fine, it's the holidays and I'll be back to a regular routine again in January.
12/23 - 220.2 - the alcohol bump continues, to be expected, but I got my steps in so I'm satisfied.
12/24 - 218.6 - I think something weird happened to my scale cause this doesn't seem accurate, but it's the number that appeared so that's what's here. Didn't get my steps in and ate all the yummy Christmas goodies, but I did drink lots of water and only had one glass of wine. I don't think I went overboard so I'm happy.
12/25 - ? - home for the holidays without the scale but good money says it's up. Didn't hit any goals and ate all the food but it's Christmas and I'm willing to work a little harder next year in order to enjoy this time with my family. Won't have numbers for the rest of this round, but will still check in for goals.
12/26 ? - still home without my scale, still eating treats so likely that number is rising. I did however get my liquids in and did two walks today and went over my step goals, plus no alcohol consumption today! Maybe I'll completely miss the alcohol bump by the time I get home.
12/27 - ? - still home without a scale, still eating treats, likely gaining but no alcohol consumption, but very few steps and snacks after 8. Still on vacation, will be better when I'm back in the city.
12/28 - ? - I am bothered not to have a number at the end of this round, it's going to have to remain a mystery to myself. What I do know is my current jeans still fit comfortably so I think I'm about the same place composition wise, so I'll take that as positve feedback I haven't completely lost the plot with over indulging this vacation. Back in the city after New Year's so next round will likely be a rude awakening. No regrets, this holiday was great, goals achieved!2 -

I'd be higher but I was too nauseated to eat yesterday. I feel fine today (it was a reaction to an antibiotic) but it gives me a chance to reset. I've hard a hard time since Thanksgiving, with holiday gatherings and all. For the rest of the month I just don't want to lose ground and I'd love to see several days under 160.
12/20: 160.0
Pleased not to see a bump today. Did pretty well with my day overall.
12/21: 159.5
My lowest weight so far, I saw it so briefly back in Round 24. This time I want to keep moving in the right direction! Did well today, resisted all the goodies left in my inbox.
12/22: 159.0
I know it's early to claim this, there are still fluctuations to come, but this weight puts me in the "normal" BMI category, and I've been happy about it all day. This is a major goal a long time coming.
12/23: 159.5
Totally normal fluctuation, I hope I stay in this neighborhood. Had a good day, no sugar, ate well, good on protein, a little exercise, 2L water.
12/24: 159.0
Another good day.
12/25: 158.5
I didn't eat to the point of being uncomfortable and I did some walking, but mostly I didn't even try to stick to any rules today. I'm sure I'll go up tomorrow but hopefully it won't take long to regain lost ground. Had a nice holiday, I hope you all did, too.
12/26: 160.0
Yup. Back on track today.
12/27: 158.5
Great, went right back to my lowest weight... BUT today I got some late holiday goodies given to me and darned if I didn't eat them. Have to do better than that the rest of the week.
12/28: 158.5
Ate stupid candy again today. Not even the good stuff.2 -

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 will be my first round ever, and I’m so excited to join in!
OSW (4/25/17): 320
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!
12/19 - 264.5
Yay! Starting strong! I haven’t left for my road trip yet though. Best laid plans, right?? Haha! Oh well, more time to prepare healthy food for the road!
12/20 - 264.5
No problem here! I drove for 5 hours yesterday and while I didn’t completely follow my food plans for the day, I did take frequent breaks to stretch and walk around. I was also really diligent about hydrating and not mindlessly snacking. Now to keep it up for the longer haul today!
12/21 - 263.0
Happy surprise loss! Yesterday’s drive was about 12 hours. I had a hard time staying within my calories, but I allowed myself to go over a bit because I felt legitimately hungry and decided to listen to my body. I also prioritized water and tons of breaks for walking around. I have 5-6 more hours of driving today, depending on mountain road conditions. Can’t wait to get there tonight and see my family!
12/22 - 263.0
Made it home! I’m about to go meet my brother for breakfast, and I’m going to do everything I can to stay on track!
12/23 - 263.0
Went a bit off course yesterday, but I’m happy it didn’t seem to affect my weigh-in today. And I’ve made up for it today by sticking to the plan while relaxing!
12/24 - 262.2
Yay! Spent the day hiking with family, so I’m feeling like I’ve earned a slice of Christmas Eve pie!
12/25 - 262.2
Merry Christmas, everyone!
12/26 - 262.2
I’m kind of surprised I didn’t gain, since I ate more than planned yesterday. I’ll take it!
12/27 - 263.5
Well, poop. I suspected this was coming though. Back on track today!
12/28 - 263.5
