1/8 - loss - didn't make my step, or my water goals but I did make everything I ate today and I'll take it as a plus. Also bonus it's less freezing now
1/9 - loss - busy day forgot to post
1/10 - loss - tried my darndest to get my steps, 500 short. Better 500 short than 5,000. I need to figure out how to get that extra bit when I'm too busy to walk at lunch.
1/11 - loss - I didn't eat the donuts someone brought in to work, it all I got for today but I'll take this small victory
1/12 - loss - the extra walk after work still didn't get me to my step goal. Will try again tomorrow, even if it's -20...well I will at least go for a short walk.
1/13 - loss - I did go for a walk, it was cold but sunny and it was only to the subway so it's not amazing but I did go outside. Sunshine in January is misleading. Kept under my calories so that's good and limited the coffee to only half the pot. Trying to drink less coffee, it's harder than stopping alcohol personally. Fingers crossed for warmer weather!
1/14 - loss - went outside again for a short walk, bought all my groceries and chopped and weighted everything for the week. I'm quite happy with myself, all set for a good week!
1/15 - null - not up, not down, not bad at all! Did have a pint but did exceed my step goal. A think it's a very balanced day.

New lowest weight! I actually also saw 155.5 on the scale today, too, but I can't quite claim it. After no real progress for a while, I'm getting the beginner bump all over again, I think. One week of getting enough water and fiber, eating less, and back off added sugar and I'm losing some bloat. Had some high sodium food today so it might go up a bit tomorrow but I didn't overeat.
01/09: 158.0
Did fine on food today.
01/10: 156.0
I calculated my body fat% and it's in the healthy range now, though not athletic. I can't say it's definitely accurate, but I've been using the Military Body Fat calculator all during my loss and my bf% has gone down 11% according to this method.
01/11: 156.0
I'm not finding it difficult to stick to my eating plan this week. I'm not eating sugar and not craving it, getting enough protein, veggies, water, and staying in calories. Exercise though, is a different story. I'm not feeling like it at all.
01/12: 156.0
Did pretty perfectly with food and water today. No added sugar for the twelfth day. No exercise though.
01/13: 154.5
I know I'm due for an upward fluctuation but it feels good to see this number, a new low for me. I hope I'm at the point where my top weight, as it goes up and down, is solidly under 160!
01/14: 156.0
Fine with this. Ate what I should today. Today's my birthday but I worked so we'll celebrate tomorrow, and I'm not sure what I'll get. Might overindulge a little.
1/15: 155.0
I did indeed go over my calories for my birthday dinner. I don't think there was a ton of sodium, but likely up tomorrow. Didn't have sugar, though.12 -

Day/Weight/Comment
1/8- 145.86 I saved up the majority of my calories for a final dinner out with my parents. We had some delicious Italian, but I probably went over on calories with dessert.
1/9-145.2 I managed to come in under calories for the first time in awhile.
1/10-144.98 (weighed after a small breakfast and half a coffee) I struggled with hunger this evening but chose broth and lots of water over extra food.
1/11- 144.1 I don't know where this number came from, but I don't think it will stick. Didn't eat great today but did manage to stay under calories.
1/12- 144.32 Starting to feel good (energized) again.
1/13- 144.32
1/14- 144.54

01/08 - 103.6
- Starting the year off very high! The 3kgs have been confirmed 
I'm not sure I can lose3.6kgs in 10 days, but I'd like to try!
01/09 - 102.6 - OK was back on the program yesterday
01/10 - 101
- WHAAAAT? Now that's a surprise, I'm truly puzzled as I ate over my calories yesterday... I was unstoppable, like a bottomless pit, nothing junky. The only thing I changed was having dinner early, a decision to try to break the frenzy snacking. It seemed to work, but it's really making me wonder about how my body works.
01/11 - 100 on the dot. Stepped on the scale 4 times, it would oscillate between 99.8 and 100 but settle on the latter. This is crazy - I mean literally crazy. I had lunch with a client, I had a nut bar late last night as I was too hungry, ate my regular meals correctly, drank my water. I remember the effort it took for me to get to this weight before and now my body decides to skip all the steps and get straight to business? I'll take it, I just hope it lasts
01/12 - 100.2 - expected! I feel I didn't eat enough fat and too many carbs... just as long as it doesn't go up more with the weekend looming ugh!
01/13 - must have missed a day somewhere!!!
01/14 - 100
- This is going to motivate me to get in the 9s tomorrow
01/15 - 100.2 - It went the other way. Didn't drink my usual amount of water, maybe more carbs that usual but nothing crazy. I need to eat dinner earlier as well
01/16 - 99.9 SUCH a tease!

Day/Weight/Comment
1/8 - 12st 7.3 Plan is to drink more water and eat less chocolate this round! Not lost sweet tooth from the festive season yet.
1/9 - 12st 6.8 Was really good yesterday :-)
1/10 - 12st 6.9 I never stick to calories when the inlaws are here (every tues/wed) Im just going to have to cut calories the other days…
1/11 - 12st 6.7 Im definitely going to have a gain tomorrow though. Today is likely dehydration.
1/12 - 12st 6.5 maybe not! Done a lot of walking today so don’t know what will happen tomorrow
1/13 - 12st 5.2 Yey! Even with 2 pizzas. Below calories and a lot of walking.
1/14 - 12st 5.0 Still seem to be losing with 1900 calories.
1/15 - 12st 6.1 Up for no apparent reason
1/16 - 12st 4.2

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. Lose 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 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.
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!

Round 28 start weight - 143.20
Loss to date - 8.2 lbs
1/08 - 142.40 lb - Back from Butlins last night and weighed this morning and lost 0.8lb over the weekend!!! A huge personal victory to go away and not only maintain but lose weight (lots of food but an active weekend - I managed 55,000 steps Friday through to Sunday (not bad considering 5hour coach journey each way) plus a couple of hours in the pool up and down the steps to the water slides! Didn't drink so much water yesterday as on the coach but a normal day today so all should be good
1/09 141.70lb another 0.70lbs gone yay!! Did my 10,000+ steps yesterday again too. Until we go away Friday its a normal week for me so no reason not to stay focused and on track.
1/10 140.9lb down 0.8lb and back to my low from before Christmas. Only hit 9,000 steps yesterday as hubby had to go out but did have a tough gym session so don't feel too guilty! Feeling good and focused - long may it continue!!
1/11 140.7lb down 0.2lb. All going in the right direction at the minute although slowing as the post Christmas / New Year bloat has gone. Didn't hit step goal yesterday again - only 7,000. Had the builder round so was too late by the time he went home to go out and do my last evening walk - must try harder.....
1/12 140.40lb - still going down!! Yay! Travelling up to Yorkshire when kids finish school - 6 hours in the car so packing a healthy tea / car nibbles and snacks for the journey so hopefully will avoid motorway service station temptations.
1/13 Away eating in hotel and restaurants out so food choices will be tough and hard to track. Just going to aim to choose wisely.
1/14 Away then a 6 hour car journey home so won't be home till late evening. Need to avoid motorway service station junk food!
1/15 142.90lb - up 2.5lb but I know this isn't a true gain - carb heavier weekend than normal and didn't drink anywhere close to my usual water intake plus limited exercise / steps of any kind!! I'm not disheartened just amazed how much the scales can go up and happy to be back on it today and would like to see it off again by end of the round (although previous experience shows it can take 3-5 days to go back to normal! Off for a water now
1/16 141.8lb so 1.1lb gone overnight from my weekend - half down half to go! Good day yesterday food wise, drank plenty and made an effort to go for a walk and did 15429 steps. Ordered a dress for step daughters wedding in May (UK size 10) - tried it on and fitted easily. Will return it as didn't love it but such a huge NSV!!!!! Feeling good today, at work so no reason to be off plan as bring my food with me, dinner all planned and PT session tonight.

R28 (15th Round for me)
So the last round I finally recovered a bit from the two previous rounds which where just brutal (I blame the gain on a mixture of: PMS, broken ribs and holiday goodies). I'm feeling even more motivated now and am optimistic that this will continue as I look forward to attending a very important wedding in September. It is essential that I lose 20 lbs before then (but my real goal is 27!)

Of course, as soon as I decide not to worry about losing for a while... I'll take it!
1/9 - 147.6
Well, this is exciting, if mystifying. All good!
1/10 - 147.4
I seem to have hit upon some magic (for me, for now) set of numbers here. Yay! I have my entire day's eating planned (going out for dinner with a friend, so planning around that), and I'm off for a an hour's walk in a bit. Nothing like a little success to inspire more action!
1/11 - 146.2
!!!!! And now I'm burning off more calories by jumping up and down! It's as if my body has decided finally to just let go of the fat. Yay!
1/12 - 147
Feeling a little puffy today. Drinking lots of water.
1/13 - 147
Still puffy. Not getting as much fiber as before since cutting back on carbs, so that's a factor, too. But I feel like I'm losing, so it's all good.

I keep reminding myself that I'm down a pound from R27, 7 from "normal" BMI, and 12 from my goal. Baby steps are fine, right?

This is a surprise, since I went out for dinner (reuben = salty). So yippee zippee!

Historical SW (January 2017): 193
Recent SW: 187.6 (Sunday after Thanksgiving)
Challenge SW: 181.8
R25 AVE = 180.36
R26 (Christmas!) AVE = 179.23
R27 AVE = 176.1 (End weight = 174.4)
R28 SW = 173.6
Goal for this round: I expect things to slow down this time since I can't ride my bike every day now that vacation is over, so I'm going with 171 as my goal.
Day/Weight/Comment
1/8= 173.6 Here we go! Here’s to everyone having success during this round!
1/9= 173.4 Tried a 30-min Express Circuit training at Planet Fitness yesterday for the first time. Also did 40 min of cardio on treadmill and arc trainer. 10k+ steps.
1/10= 173.6 Hoping for a loss tomorrow. Things have slowed down since I’m not riding my bike everyday. Ready for spring!
1/11= 172.0 Hoping to ride my bike today after work. High of around 65 here! Yay!
1/12= 171.8
1/13= no scales available today. Hubby is in the hospital, so probably won’t have one available tomorrow either. Will have to work on making healthy choices in the hospital cafeteria. You’d think they would be easy to find in a hospital, but they absolutely are not! No wonder half the staff here is way overweight.
1/14=172, but that was AFTER I had had coffee, eaten breakfast at the hospital and went home to shower. Hair was wet because I didn’t think about it until after I got out of the shower.

New lowest weight! I actually also saw 155.5 on the scale today, too, but I can't quite claim it. After no real progress for a while, I'm getting the beginner bump all over again, I think. One week of getting enough water and fiber, eating less, and back off added sugar and I'm losing some bloat. Had some high sodium food today so it might go up a bit tomorrow but I didn't overeat.
01/09: 158.0
Did fine on food today.
01/10: 156.0
I calculated my body fat% and it's in the healthy range now, though not athletic. I can't say it's definitely accurate, but I've been using the Military Body Fat calculator all during my loss and my bf% has gone down 11% according to this method.
01/11: 156.0
I'm not finding it difficult to stick to my eating plan this week. I'm not eating sugar and not craving it, getting enough protein, veggies, water, and staying in calories. Exercise though, is a different story. I'm not feeling like it at all.
01/12: 156.0
Did pretty perfectly with food and water today. No added sugar for the twelfth day. No exercise though.
01/13: 154.5
I know I'm due for an upward fluctuation but it feels good to see this number, a new low for me. I hope I'm at the point where my top weight, as it goes up and down, is solidly under 160!
01/14: 156.0
Fine with this. Ate what I should today. Today's my birthday but I worked so we'll celebrate tomorrow, and I'm not sure what I'll get. Might overindulge a little.
Happy belated Birthday! Hope you enjoyed it! 5 -

Thank you, Mary Beth. We are home and things are progressing in a positive direction. AND, I lost weight while I was there! (gotta look for silver linings, right?!?)6 -

Plan to go into the next round and keep trying.
1/8….163
1/9….164
1/10….163
1/11….162
1/12…..162….I’m getting nowhere…..I obviously need to change something. I wish we had options of organized exercises where I live. I know I need to get consistent with what I do at home but my options are limited also.
1/13…
1/14……
1/15…..165….so discouraged. Kept 10 pounds off for nearly 1 year and I have now gained ½ of it back. I didn’t think I had changed my eating habits recently but obviously I must have. I hope that at least some of this is water weight, but time will tell. I also saw that my last post that was a couple days ago was for today. I wish I was at 162 today.
1/16 …..164….guess it wasn’t water weight as I was hoping.

1/8 216.3 It's my birthday!! Hoping to not over indulge too much, but I know there will be some! My mother wants to take me to lunch and my husband and son want to go out to dinner, so will need to make good choices today. Or not, and not beat myself up about it tomorrow!
1/9 217.8 Yep, I knew it! So much sodium! And other not so good things, like cupcakes. Time to drink lots of water and Exercise!
1/10 217.8 Ok, time to get my act together! Water was good yesterday, but food choices were still bad! New day, back to making good food choices! I've got this!
1/11 217.8 Still working on it, did ok with my water and got some exercise in yesterday. Just need to continue with making good choices and exercising.
1/12 216.9 Ok, so I have to be honest, I weighed myself 3 different times and got three different numbers. I went with the middle number for recording proposes.
1/13 216.9 This was the one and only number that came up this morning. I'm still up from the start of this challenge, but only by 0.6, so not upset by that, especially since my eating has not been the best. And there are still four days to go!
1/14 216.9 Ate better, did a bit of exercise, but need to drink more water. Today is a new day.
1/15 216.9 Family get-together yesterday, could have eaten better, for sure. Also did not get my water in! I will do better today.
1/16 216.9 This cold weather is killing me!
All I want to do is curl up and read! Not to mention my sleep has been really bad the last two nights. Needless to say my motivation is low. I'm trying to be kind with myself and remind myself that you can come back from a 0.6 gain.
