Goal for this round: Maintain the downward trend. I’m due a bounce back up, so this may be too optimistic, but let’s go for 166.something!

01/18= 170.0 The beginning of the bounce that I’m expecting? I will NOT fuel it! Hope to hike in the snow in the Smoky Mountains today!

Goal this round: remain steady in making good choices.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 189.2 I'm on Snow Day #2, determined to conquer the urge to snack all day. I'm thankful I don't have a bunch of junk in my pantry!
01/19 188.8 I should've eaten more veggies yesterday, but I did good on water and exercise (35 min walk/run, arm resistance workout, 10 minute stair climber).
01/20 189.6 Probably had too much salt yesterday… I feel really good, though. I resisted a donut breakfast at work, passed on the sweet tea and chips at lunch, and went to the gym last night. I NEVER go to the gym at night bc I always feel drained after work, but I went anyway and had a pretty good workout!

11/29 252.6 -- It’s a “second-day-post-Chinese-takeout” bloat this morning. Let’s make this the high for the round!
11/30 252.2 -- A counselor once tried to get me to recognize that, when my own behaviors do not match what I believe is right, it makes me unhappy. She recommended I try to bring my behaviors in sync with my beliefs. I’m learning now that she’s right even when it comes to food. When I eat what I think I ought I feel better about myself and I’m happier. I truly recognize it when I am in the breach as last night. This morning I have a sliced-bread hangover.

12/01 251.8 -- Going in the right direction!
THE GREAT MOVING HIATUS OF 2017-2018
01/19 - 253.4 -- Cool. A month and a half later and I’m still in the low 250s. I’ll take it!!
01/20 - 253.6 -- Life has changed so much with moving to a place with a contract for daily dinners. I need to figure out a different way to keep track of how much I eat since I can’t weigh portions or control ingredients.

@UTMom81 I am too, but it bounces around between 3 lbs and drives me crazy. Lol

nikki062181 · January 2018

I'm back.

Let's see if I can get down to 160 at least even though my "new" low is 158. The slower it comes off the more likely it will stay off. I just lost a lot very fast due to having the flu and sinus issues. Good luck ladies and gents.

1/19: 160.4 Wow! I'm maintaining, but I've been in the 160's since November. I'm over it. Lol
1/20:

TerriRichardson112 · January 2018

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 Round 29
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.

Don't beat yourself up over a temporary gain. Trust the process and stick with the programme.
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!

01/18 = 218.4. I like this number! But I need to be careful. I have a tendency to celebrate on days like this by having mini "fall off the wagon" moments. Going to stay focused!
01/19 = 216.4. Played basketball last night and burned more than 1000 calories. Getting into the groove getting under my calorie goals. Drinking tons of water.
01/20 = 216.8. Stay calm, me. Fluctuations are not an issue. I had 1/2 a beer last night and went out to lunch with co-workers (though didn't do too badly). I'm totally on-track, I just need to keep showing up (being accountable). Basketball in an hour and a half (GOOD!!!), brother-in-law's baby shower all day (ROUGH!!!). I. Can. Do. This. Moderation, listen to my body (re: food/hunger), stay accountable. Breathe.

"Our greatest glory is, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith

R22 * Start = 143.4 * Ave = 141.9 * Min = 140.2 * End = 141.2
R23 * Start = 142.0 * Ave = 140.1 * Min = 139.4 * End = 139.6
R24 * Start = 140.0 * Ave = 138.6 * Min = 137.0 * End = 137.0
R25 * Start = 136.6 * Ave = 137.0 * Min = 135.8 * End = 135.8
R26 * Start = 136.6 * Ave = 135.6 * Min = 134.8 * End = 136.0
R27 * Start = 135.4 * Ave = 135.0 * Min = 133.4 * End = 134.0
R28 * Start = 135.2 * Ave = 133.5 * Min = 132.2 * End = 133.0

Round 29 Start = 132.6 Approaching goal so conscious of doing this slow and sustainably

1/18 - 132.6 - Yesterday at least walked, got my 10K steps, under calories just barely with some extras.
1/19 - 131.6 Bang! - I will bounce but still super good to see. Yesterday well under calories, ran 3.5

1/20 - 132.2 - Yesterday under calories, 4 mile run on the cool dark streets. Working on hydration this weekend, channeling @cschmitz110515

@puddlegoober I love the self talk!

@TerriRichardson112 Next to your Daily Goals you have, 15+ strength; 15+ flex. What does that mean?

Sincerely,

Sassy aus Austria

If you want it, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.

Being Fat is Hard.
Losing Weight is Hard.
Maintenance is Hard.

Choose Your Hard.

Height: 5'10"
Goal: 170
End Round 22: 193
End Round 23: 193.2
End Round 24: 191.2
End Round 25: 189.4
End Round 26: 190
End Round 27: 188.6
End Round 28: 186.4

Slowly but surely. It's kind of nice to start on a low note maybe I'll feel some positive pressure to keep it low.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 - 186.4 - Holding after personal training.
01/19 - 187.4 - Late salty dinner out last night, so this is kind of expected.
01/20 - 186.6 - It's kind of cold here (for the desert) gotta find the motivation to do more than curl up with my heater and videogames.
