12/29: 162.5 I feel very dehydrated this morning. Got a good run in yesterday, decent amount of water, too. But then I fell into a bad habit of snacking last night before bed. Not feeling optimistic today; I should go exercise now.
12/30: 162.4 Better than a gain... I did start up with my weights again yesterday; I am so sore today! Started to track, but lost momentum after going out to lunch with my daughter. Going to try again today. Lots of water, too.
12/31: 163.3
1/1: 161.9 Happy New Year! My daughter made a delicious vegan butternut squash soup last night. Coconut milk instead of cream. Leftovers today.
1/2: 162.2 Up and down... have a feeling it will be this way for awhile until I settle into my routine again. We took the tree down yesterday. DH and my kids still have another week off, but I go back to work today.
1/3: 162.1 Good run on the treadmill last night; still getting into the chocolate in the evenings, though... have been toying with the idea of doing a cleanse.
1/4: 162.7 Daily weighing's got me down.
1/5: 163.2 Going to focus on the water for the next two days, see if I can get back into a groove. My goal today: every time I want something sweet, drink some water instead.6 -

01/03 - 195.8 Ewww! Wish I had forgotten to weigh today. This is the day I want to forget about this, but really need to post to keep myself honest and aware.
01/04 - 195.1 Need more fiber, veg, fruit and fluids!
01/05 - 194.2 The cold weather may be bringing on a cold. Bleagh, hope it's just reaction to the dry air / pollen. Yes, we have yellow pollen already down here in Florida. The past few days freezes should back that off for a few weeks.

I've cut back on carbs the past couple of days. I don't plan to go too low - aiming for 40 net carbs/day - and about 90 grams protein, the rest good fats. I have to say that the fats are making me MUCH less hungry, so my calories are actually lower. New go-to breakfast -- half cup liguid egg whites microwaved with an ounce of aged Havarti cheese. YUM!
12/30 - 148.8
Moving the right direction - yay!
12/31- 148.6
This is a lovely surprise - not because I haven't been eating properly (I have), but last night my hubby made "fiesta chicken" with a seasoning packet (McCormick) and I almost couldn't eat it because of the salt. Holy sodium blast, Batman! I drank a ton of water all evening and knew I was retaining a lot of it, so I thought I'd be up this morning Yippee yay! (And no, he won't be buying any more seasoning packets without checking sodium!)
HAPPY NEW YEAR, ALL!
1/1 - 148.6
I just realized I had a typo yesterday - I was down, not up. And there again today. Good start to a bright (if cold) new year.
1/2 - 148.4
I can't seem to keep my carbs as low as I'd hoped (40 g net), but they're lower than they were, and that seems to be working. Feeling good!
1/3 - 148.8
AAACCCKKKKK! No, really, it's ok, because I've been right on track so I know it isn't real. But still....
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.

1/4 - 238.4 lbs. Doing well so far. Stayed below 1600 with 6.5 km under my belt.
1/5 - 238.2 lbs. Unexpected tom (it's 2 weeks early?) so any loss is good.

12/29 - 12st 7 starting again. I CAN do 10 days in a row... reasonable calories, stronglifts, sleep training the toddler a little
12/30 - 12st 6.9 oh dear. Late night snacks. On the plus side, did get 1 year old to fall asleep not on the breast or walking around the room. He didn't like it much, even with cuddles!
12/31 - 12st 7.7 body noticed the extra chocolate then...better behaved today

1/2 - 12st 1.0 ok! There goes the water weight
1/3 - 12st 3.4 And that is the result of alcohol. Late celebration as I was working New Years

10 Day Goal: I don't know. Right now I'm just hoping not to gain more weight.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/29- 146.08 (weight a few hours after eating) Still struggling to maintain calorie goal with family here.
12/30-145.64 Did better today with my eating. Hoping the weather holds up just a bit so I can get a walk in tomorrow.
12/31- 144.98 Went on a really nice hike despite the strong wind. Think I was probably well over on calories though. No alcohol, but we did have dinner with friends and family for New Years Eve.
1/1 Forgot to weigh before breakfast and then we were out of the house most of the day. I walked 2+ hours today. Splurged on a Cafe Mocha, but it should have been within my calories.
1/2- 144.98 Saved all my calories up to have a big Turkish meal with my family. I probably still went over on calories, but it was worth it.
1/3- 144.98 Day out at the spa and then dinner with friends. I have a really hard time guessing calories/weight of food when I'm eating out.
1/4- 144.98 The weather is terrible today and I don't feel like doing anything. Possibly over on calories today, but it is from another day of guessing.
1/5- 144.1 I don't believe this number at all. I have been eating horribly this past week. I managed to get in some walking today, but I did not measure it. We ate out AGAIN today, so I am still guessing at calories.

HAVE A HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
01/02: Woke up late; had already started drinking coffee before I remembered I was supposed to weigh. Didn't sleep much last night. So many doctors appt. and I'm already tired. But nobody told me that the road would be easy; I don't believe He brought me this far to leave me!
01/03: 216.7
Got a new med from the urologist for bladder urgency, now I am holding fluid! Plus my granddaughter cooked some greens using country salt cured meat, so they were full of sodium. I ate them all. Need to push more water. Doctor's appt. for today cancelled due to inclement weather, so I'm going to get my hair done!
01/04: 219.6
Went totally crazy last night; my grandson came home with a box of hot, cheesy, bacony breadsticks, and told me to help him eat them. So I ended up eating 5 (yes f i v e) breadsticks and a slice of pound cake my granddaughter made! I have no excuse; I just don't know exactly how I felt last night! I know it was related to emotional eating, but I have yet to figure out why! Thank God today is a new day! His mercies are new every morning!
01/05: 217
Almost forgot to log my weight today! Been running all day today; got the oil changed in car. Found another great MIM recipe; this one uses flax seed meal which is a great source of fiber! I might try it with some sausage tomorrow. I have some pork sausage cooked with onions and bell peppers in the fridge leftover from another recipe. I'll let you know how it turns out! Been pushing water; got over 12 cups today and yesterday! Eight days down; two more to go!3 -
I just found this. Will there be a Round 28?3

Got a late start posting, as I’ve been on the road home through the Rockies for 3 days.
12/29 - 263.5
Starting my road trip today! My goal is to avoid all carbs during the drive.
12/30 - 262.8
Yay! I stopped a couple of hours into my drive to meet my aunt and her bestie for lunch. Both are really supportive of my journey and are on similar paths themselves. I was able to stick to just an ahi tuna steak, salad, and cauliflower mash for the meal, which set me up for most of the day! Stuck to protein-based snacks and stayed hydrated for the rest of the drive!
12/31 - 261.0
Awesome! I’m only 5 lbs away from my next goal, which is to lose 64 lbs; 20% of my starting body weight. And I only have about a 4-hour drive to get the rest of the way home. Can’t wait to see my man and my kitties!
1/1 - 261.0
Happy New Year! So happy to be home and able to sleep in my own bed again!
1/2 - 261.0
I’ve got a big day today and spent most of the night thinking instead of sleeping. I think I would have lost this morning if I’d had a full night of sleep! I’m hoping to get through everything today to spend my honey’s birthday with him tonight.
1/3 - 261.0
Caught up on some sleep! I feel much better.
1/4 - 259.3

1/2 - 227.8 - moment of truth after 9 days at my parent's house with all the old habits that got me where I was, so naturally it's no shocker I'm up basically 9 pounds over the holidays (it's like a pound per day 0.0) but I didn't do much activity and didn't eat well so I'm not surprised. Some is likely water retention and honestly I'm not really bothered because I had a good time and I'm back in the city where I can go back to my usual routine. No regrets, I had an excellent holiday, now back to work.
1/3 - loss - What I like about this thread: posting everyday keeps me accountable and motivated and honestly I think is one reason I've been successful (holidays excluded). What effects me in a less than awesome way: people judging my weight loss. Solution: until I can get over myself, I'll just post a gain or loss in relation to the last day. Staying in the right mindset is important to this journey, actual weight will be posted when it makes sense for me.
1/4 - loss - eating is within bounds but I've been so busy at work that I've been working through lunch, I miss my lunch walks, hopefully next week will be better. In the mantjme I will fucus on what I can do and keep my good intentions.
1/5 - gain - only slightly but that's ok, had a glass of wine yesterday so it makes sense. Goal for the weekend is to get food figure out because there's no way I'm going for a walk when the temperature is -20 to -30 outside. Cold AF buddy, even the pengiuns are hiding inside!

A New Year's gift from my scale, completely undeserved. I was 158.5 on 12/28 so I'm not too proud of the last few days. I'm not through with the risky season because my birthday is coming up, but although I've been overeating at least I'm more or less maintaining. Thanks for the shout-out and nudge quiltingjaine I don't really have treats at home, it's at work that I do the most damage. Then I come home and overeat things like Ezekiel bread and almond cheese, lol.
01/02: Forgot to weigh
Oops. Having a good day, though.
01/03: 158.5
Rewarded for two days of eating better. Went over calories a bit today, though. 3rd day no added sugar.
01/04: 158.5
Holding steady. Doing well with food, not so much with exercise.
01/05: 158.0
Back in my routine. Helps not to have holiday stuff lurking in the break room any more.6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 218.3 Mom is out of the hospital, thank goodness, and is scheduling an appointment with her Mayo drs. I'm glad to not have gained any weight these last 10 days. I still have New Year's Eve and my birthday to get through! I can do this!
12/30 218.3 It's bitterly cold here, and I'm feeling really run down. Hoping to pick it up today and get all my water in, as well as some exercise.
12/31 218.3 Feeling a little less run down today, going to get in some cardio today and keep drinking lots of water. New Year's Eve! Luckily I'm celebrating with my 14 year old so I won't be drinking!
1/1 218.3 Happy New Year! Seven days until I turn 37! I usually view my birthday as my new year start. This year I'm going to reach my initial weight loss goal of being under 200 and maintaining. To that end, I will keep pushing the water and making smart food choices!
1/2 216.5 Happy New Year to me! Let's make it stick! I need to keep pushing the water, and since I didn't get exercise yesterday, I need to do some today.
1/3 218.0 Well, that didn't last long. Still, a bit of a loss so I will take it. Any loss is a win! Plan to do a cardio workout and drink lots of water today!
1/4 217.6 Inching back down! Even if I stay here, I would be happy! Pushing water, and going to do my cardio today. Three days left, let's see where I can end!
1/5 217.6 Happy to see that I stayed here, hoping to push it just a bit more for the end of these ten days. It's my birthday on the 8th!

"Don't be upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do." - Orebela Gbenga
Start 10/18/2017 = 147.9 * Goal = 130.0 and 20 miles/week
Spoiler
Round 27 Start = 135.4
12/29 - 135.4 - Yesterday under calories and a workout. Left ankle a little sore, but I have only 3.25 miles to go to meet December running goals.
12/30 - 135.4 - Yesterday under maintenance, no workout, ankle still sore.
12/31 - 135.0 - Yesterday under maintenance, ran 3.5 to finish December run goals.
1/1 - 135.6 - Yesterday 50 min elliptical, balanced by an unholy number of homemade lemon squares, way over! Happy New Year all, the journey continues!
1/2 - 136.4 - holy lemon squares, batman! However, did get a 7.3 mile long run yesterday, which is the longest in years.
1/3 - 135.4 - one holiday pound away! Yesterday under calories, ran to gym and did 25 minutes on a stairclimber.
About my Mini-Goal 5 of unwrapping my "Under 135" box of workout clothes!! -- I CHEATED a couple of days ago and wore the CW-X tights on my long run. They are A-MAZ-ING
1/4 - 135.4 - I seem to like this number. At least got a walk yesterday at lunch hour, up to maintenance on calories (unplanned ) Today: dental work woo hoo!
1/5 - 133.4 - Whoosh! was not expecting that. Maybe the crown I had replaced yesterday was quite heavy? Today back to working out!

am going to jump in mid-challenge if that is o.k. I did these 10 day challenges for a while last spring, but really let myself go throughout the fall, and even more since Thanksgiving. I have started to eat lots of "crap" again and stopped logging. As a result, I am currently just under 149 pounds, from a low of 137 last April. I started at 193 in July of 2016. I'd like to get back down to 140 in the next 2 months. I joined a gym in late November, but have not been going. I am committing to change to be healthier, in both the amount and quality of food I eat, and in getting regular exercise.

12/29 175 Ate within calories.
12/30 174.8
12/31. 174.8 no party plans which should help with food temptation. We’ll see who wins out ! or

1/1 175.8 glad to have 6 more days to improve.
1/2 175
1/3. 174.8
1/4 174.8 saw that if i continue eating this way, in 5 weeks I wont be in the 160’s, so I really need to eat only 1200 calories and walk more.
1/5 didnt weigh— this week has shown me “good intentions” wont get me to my goal. I may have to accept that round 27 ( my first round here) wont be the loss I “hoped” for. I cant do the same next round. . I still have 2 more days... i’ll do my best.

Jan 1 2017 226... I'm 5'6"
Started R6 @ 177.1
First Goal: 170 ✔️
Next Goal: 159 ✔️
Next Goal: Hit a healthy BMI 154.4'ish... Hit it twice, now to make it solid!!
Hold steady aroung 159 through December.
End of R26 162.5
12/29 - 162.4 ... Today is my 'Healthy Me' Day!! A year ago today I DECIDED to change up my life and I think I have pretty much done it. I still need to lose this Christmas extra and about 5/10 more lbs, but I am feeling great about myself. I enjoy this group and (not including the 'extra') have lost over 20lbs since becoming a part of it. My biggest lessons are (1) my daily weigh-ins aren't just fat they can be due to water/sodium/washroom/stress. (2) Small changes like walking every lunch break/taking my lunch to work/planning my meals. (3) Always get back to it, I'm gonna have days where I want to live it up... I just have to get back on track. (4) I don't time my goals, I just work towards them.
12/30 - 160.9
12/31 - 163 ... Hotel scale
1/1 - 163 ... Hotel scale
1/2 - 165.6 ... Some work to do. I feel bloated but SO leaves Sunday so no more dinners and events to attend. I can get back at it and see some 150's again.
1/3 - 164 ... Need to get to the grocery store and plan some meals. I can't believe I'm still so busy.
1/4 - 163.9 ... Getting it together a bit more today, packed my lunch.
1/5 - 163.1 ... Still moving forward. Packed lunch had my lunch break walk and SO and I went out again last night.

12/29: 162.5 I feel very dehydrated this morning. Got a good run in yesterday, decent amount of water, too. But then I fell into a bad habit of snacking last night before bed. Not feeling optimistic today; I should go exercise now.
12/30: 162.4 Better than a gain... I did start up with my weights again yesterday; I am so sore today! Started to track, but lost momentum after going out to lunch with my daughter. Going to try again today. Lots of water, too.

1/3: 162.1 Good run on the treadmill last night; still getting into the chocolate in the evenings, though... have been toying with the idea of doing a cleanse.
1/4: 162.7 Daily weighing's got me down.
1/5: 163.2 Going to focus on the water for the next two days, see if I can get back into a groove. My goal today: every time I want something sweet, drink some water instead.

1/3 • 112 • Hmmm...I can't seem to stop losing. Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. It's a little challenging getting enough calories in following a whole food plant based diet.

12/29 - 149
I've cut back on carbs the past couple of days. I don't plan to go too low - aiming for 40 net carbs/day - and about 90 grams protein, the rest good fats. I have to say that the fats are making me MUCH less hungry, so my calories are actually lower. New go-to breakfast -- half cup liguid egg whites microwaved with an ounce of aged Havarti cheese. YUM!
12/30 - 148.8
Moving the right direction - yay!
12/31- 148.6
This is a lovely surprise - not because I haven't been eating properly (I have), but last night my hubby made "fiesta chicken" with a seasoning packet (McCormick) and I almost couldn't eat it because of the salt. Holy sodium blast, Batman! I drank a ton of water all evening and knew I was retaining a lot of it, so I thought I'd be up this morning Yippee yay! (And no, he won't be buying any more seasoning packets without checking sodium!)
HAPPY NEW YEAR, ALL!
1/1 - 148.6
I just realized I had a typo yesterday - I was down, not up. And there again today. Good start to a bright (if cold) new year.
1/2 - 148.4
I can't seem to keep my carbs as low as I'd hoped (40 g net), but they're lower than they were, and that seems to be working. Feeling good!
1/3 - 148.8
AAACCCKKKKK! No, really, it's ok, because I've been right on track so I know it isn't real. But still....
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.

I was going to give this a rest, but thought better of it. Lol! I need the discipline after December. Not weighing was a big mistake over the holidays.
Long-term Focus: In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.
December was a very indulgent month. This round, I am focused on losing my holiday baggage.
I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs. 1lb per round.
to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me a motivational element of daily accountability.
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!

1/1
1/2 - 65.9kg - Prepping today to get back into my pre-holiday routine. Also getting in lots of water to get the weight loss ball rolling!
1/3 - 65.7kg - Drank lots of water yesterday but got stuck in to the left over holiday treats. Back to normality today and looking forward to dropping some of my Christmas bloat.
1/4 - 64.6kg - Yay! For a little context, I was 62.6kg at the beginning of December and 63.9kg at the start of Round 26 so this really is just my weight leveling back out after the holidays.
1/5 - 64.2kg - Yesterday was TOUGH. Ended up going slightly over my calorie goal but stayed under maintenance. Happy to see another small drop on the scale. Now for the last 200g by Sunday!
1/6 - 63.7kg - Yaaaaayyy! Things were a bit easier yesterday. Feel like I'm falling back into my good habits. Bye bye December weight!

SW: 202
R27: 163
GW: 162
UGW: 125
12/29: 163 I really pushed the fluids again and stuck to my healthy foods. I also believe that I'm getting sick.
12/30: 162.6 I'm officially over halfway to my goal. Woot!
12/31: 162.6 Maintaining...let's hope I have will power tonight and stay the course. In fact, I know I can.
01/01: 160.8 Mind blown! I have been pushing fluids for several days. I am going to try to keep doing so. It is also tradition in my house to make greasy, scrumptious, finger foods to ring in the New Years. I did just that, but for me, I had the will power to skip it and make something healthy for me. I'm glad I did because it paid off! Happy New Years everyone! I'm hoping it's an amazing for each of you.
01/02: 162.2 Well, I am back up again on this rollercoaster ride. I spent the afternoon with my brother's family and my own watching Jumanji. Then, we grabbed a bite to eat. I had a late meal, and I know it had quite a bit of sodium. Here is to pushing fluids to get that number to go back down. I had a good day though regardless of that #.
01/03: 162.2 If I can lose 2 more oz. and keep it off, I met my goal weight for this round. I have ALWAYS had a hard time losing the closer I get to switching to a new number. I had a good day yesterday. My oldest son did great at being selfless yesterday for his little brother. He gave up xboxing with a friend to Xbox with his little brother. That's a big thing for a teen to do that for a 9-year-old. It just made my day. "You can never cross the Ocean unless you have the Courage to lose sight of the shore."
01/04: 162.2 I'm really hoping these last 2 oz come off soon. I did bike yesterday for 20 minutes, and I did drink about 60 oz of fluid. I'm surprised I'm not floating away. Lol "Don't worry about failures. Worry about the chances you'll miss if you don't even try."
01/05: 161.8 I biked again yesterday and for 25 minutes. I listened to some music and then the first 4 chapters of Genesis while I biked. I made healthy choices and continued to push the fluids like I have been. "Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?"
01/06: 161.8 I biked for 30 minutes yesterday. During that time I listened to music, and I got through Genesis Chapters 5 - 9. I also made a HUGE decision yesterday, and I feel good about it. Let's just hope it works like I envision. "The quieter you become, the more you can hear."

I did these 10 day challenges for a while last spring, but really let myself go throughout the fall, and even more since Thanksgiving. I have started to eat lots of "crap" again and stopped logging. As a result, I am currently just under 149 pounds, from a low of 137 last April. I started at 193 in July of 2016. I'd like to get back down to 140 in the next 2 months. I joined a gym in late November, but have not been going. I am committing to change to be healthier, in both the amount and quality of food I eat, and in getting regular exercise.
Day/Weight/Comment
1/2 148.9
1/3 146.6 (well that is a nice start!; 65 minutes on elliptical; only ate back about 100 calories; lots of water)
1/4 145.5 (45 min elliptical; 35 min body pump class (too hard to do whole class- must have had a bit of water weight as I weighed over 149 on the 1st)
1/5 144.6 (40 min elliptical)

You can do this! At first, I felt like I was hungry all the time, and I could hardly sleep at night. It was all I could focus on. Then, my body adjusted, and now, I don't feel that way anymore. However, although it is easier to make good choices, there are days that I have to make a conscience choice to not grab something that sounds absolutely amazing. The best thing for me is to simply not bring it into my house. I don't even go to the grocery store anymore. I shop online, so out of sight, out of mind.7
