    1/4 - 148.8
    I'm getting a bit frustrated. I've cut my carbs back to 20-30% and calories to 1400-1500, and I'm walking 30-60 min/day. No idea why it's so slow, other than I was 145-150 for years way back when.


    Are you getting closer to your ideal body weight?

    That depends on whose idea of ideal I use, but I would be giddy with 135 and happy with 140, so yes, I'm close. I'm sure that's part of it, but I thought almost a year of eating more calories to reset my metabolism would make these last 10 or so pounds less grueling. Sigh. Otoh, it beats gaining!

    Lol. Now that is true. There are a lot of ideas about ideal body weight. For me, I am going off what Dr.'s think according to your height. My ideal weight is 98 - 129 lbs. I am looking to getting to 125. I've noticed when I got closer to the 50% mark of my weight loss journey, I've really slowed down. It takes about 2 weeks for me to lose a half a pound. Maybe it's doing the same for you?

    Round 27

    Finished last round on 138.0

    Day/Weight/Comment

    12/29 138.2 Have a slight cold, so stayed home by the fire and relaxing. Next week I’ll get back to the gym!
    12/30 138.4 Creeping up slowly. But still happy with this for the Christmas period, next week back on track and back to gym. 2018 will be the year I get rid of the extra 10lbs I’ve been carrying!!
    12/31 -
    1/1 -
    1/2 -
    1/3 -
    1/4 137.6 wow so surprised at this but very pleased! Have had a cold last few days and have not really logged much. New Year's Eve was a huge pig out so yay bring on 2018!!
    1/5 So totally forgot to weigh myself.... Again! The next round I will do better, back to the gym next week. Even though my weight is ok’ish my jeans I put on this morning feel tight! I know I’ve lost muscle and not as ‘toned’ anymore.

    01/05 - 187.4 - I was starting to think I was lying about it being bloat. But the gym scale agreed with this number.

    I'm in for my sixth round :) Fifth round was a write off to be honest, but had a great few days away in Amsterdam a great Christmas, daughters birthday and still got New Years to go - but need to start back somewhere!

    Round 22 start weight - 151.40
    Round 23 start weight - 145.80
    Round 24 start weight - 147.60
    Round 25 start weight - 141.60
    Round 26 start weight - 141.90
    Round 27 start weight - 146.20

    Loss to date - 5.2 lbs

    12/29 - 146.20. Oops!!!! Went to the gym for an hours PT today, drinking plenty of water but have loads of goodies in the house as my daughters 10th birthday party disco dome and sleepover so going to try hard to resist.....

    12/30 - Didn't weigh in - house full of 10 years old this morning post sleepover so by the time I remembered I had already eaten! Carb laden dinner last night though (turkey risotto) so probably wouldn't have been good reading! Ache a lot from gym session yesterday - only been off a week! Good food day planned today though and aiming to get back to drinking plenty of water .......

    12/31 - 146.20 - so stayed the same ho hum..... Not been too off track but did eat some of my daughters birthday cake and need to get back to eating more fibre and drinking more water to get things moving I think as still feel so bloated! Out tonight to a friends for New Years Eve which will involve all round a table talking, drinking and knowing my friend way too much bad food so going to try and resist the worst of it ....

    01/01 - 147.50 - not surprised as out until 5am at friends for New Year so still had a belly full of food at weigh in this morning! did go for a walk yesterday afternoon to ensure I made my 10,000 steps for the day though :smile: New Year and off we go. A good food day planned

    01/02 - 145.9 - 1.6lbs down :smiley: Back to work & school day - boo!!! But weight dropped after sensible day yesterday and a good day planned - water intake is back up and off to the gym tonight.

    01/03 - 143.70 - wow 2.2lbs down overnight! But then I drank loads yesterday, went to the loo I don't know how many times and also had a tough HiiT session at the gym last night followed a walk home the long way to get my steps up to 10,000+. One thing I have learned from the daily weighing is how much my weight can vary just from even one evening of "over indulgence" and not tracking / counting let alone the Christmas period and how long it can take to go back down. But happy so far :smiley: Just need to stay on track and keep drinking ......

    01/04 -143lbs and another half a pound gone. Always a good weight loss week first week back after a holiday but going to enjoy it while it lasts as whatevers left at the end of the week I guess will pretty much be more true weight put on. Day 5 of making my 10,000+ steps yesterday too. So all good - at work and food all planned for the day and a PT gym session tonight so hopeful for tomorrows weigh in :smile:

    01/05 - 143.2lbs so 0.2lbs on but I did have a heavier carb dinner last night than usual (hubby did low fat home made burgers with jacket wedges - lush!) - although still in calorie allowance so not bothered with +0.20. At the gym last night too and did my 10000+ steps. Off to Butlins in a bit so my last post for the round but intending to stay on track. There is usually so much food there - just need to make sure I choose wisely and don't get tempted ..... wish me luck! Already done my 10,000 steps for today too so off to a good start!

    01/06 - Away for weekend - taking my Brownies to Butlins for the weekend so will need to try and choose wisely from the food that is on offer (all canteen style food!!) and make sure I keep up water intake. Hoping for a reasonable amount of walking and also we'll be going swimming one day but unable to weigh again until Monday morning - the start of round 28.
    01/07 - Away at Butlins - unable to weigh

    Round 27:
    Ultimate goal weight is 105 lbs (I am a very slow loser so this may take all of 2018)

    12/29 107.4
    12/30 108.4 too many Calories
    12/31 108.4 too many Calories so can't lose any weight :(
    1/1 107.6 better - hungry :smile:
    1/2 107.4 okay, back to the start. I have not met my Calorie restriction goal yet but have increased my exercise. I will be happy if I maintain 107.4 lbs by the end of this round. My goal is <106.9 by the end of January. I would like to request that the 0.5 lbs comes directly from my belly :wink:
    1/3 108.8 - whoa!

    1/4 108.1 - better. Went to bed hungry but woke up feeling fine. Started lifting heavier weights past week and this typically increases my appetite and I gain weight (not all muscle/water either). Am curious to see what my weight will do if I keep my Calorie Restriction for the next 3 days and continue to lift. Especially changes in belly fat :neutral:

    1/5 107.3 :smile: 1600 Calories while exercising more aggressively may be the adjustment needed to manage hunger. current kcal goal is set to 1500 per day. I have to sneak up on weight loss at this point.

    @SheilaBoneham If you have cut grain and sugar from your diet, your body may hold on to weight to heal itself from the inside out. Don’t give up. It’s a process. If you look at my spoiler you will see my average losses have been quite low.

    @hedyk One of our cats developed diabetes. She drank lots of water and ate a lot and kept getting thinner. Hyperthyroidism causes weight loss, hypothyroidism causes weight gain.

    @archersport when is your due date?

    @TerriRichardson112 I love your little dancers. They made me smile!

    For those who FORGET to weigh, can you put you scale in a location that makes it impossible to forget? If I were at home, I would post a pic of the bathroom I use in the morning.

    12/27: 160.0 Almost forgot to update...why are some habits so easy to break & forget? W-I not a surprise, have been enjoying Christmas goodies for several days & no treadmill since 12/15 oh my! Back at work, will get back to treadmill this week, I promise.
    12/28: 161.0 Happy hour with former colleagues / enjoyed adult beverage & dinner / net calories red even before I got into pistachios for evening snack...ack!!! 13c water. Fitbit 7,873 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 26 floors. Considering I'm 3# up during the week of Christmas, not so bad. Used to be lots worse in past years.
