Let's keep going!

Trying something new, not going to post daily numbers, just starting weight for the round just whether today's scale is a loss or gain compared to the previous day.

Yay new round!

Historical Start weight: 252 lb.
End weight Rnd 24: 225.6
End weight Rnd 25: 221.6
End weight Rnd 26: ? (No scale during holidays)
End weight Rnd 27: 222.6
End weight Rnd 28: 219.6

Goal this round: no alcohol consumption!

Day/Weight/Comment
1/18 – loss - my win today is leaving work on time, so I had extra time to make a few different dinners for the next few days to reheat because I know I won't have time to cook for a few days. Probably way too much work for a Thursday but now I have lunches and dinners that are portioned properly and should get me through the weekend. I'm tired but satisfied and greatful for the privilege of time to get this task done.
1/19 – loss - tired.
1/20 – ? - visiting family, no scale. Two birthdays, one slice of cake and no alcohol = win
1/21 – loss - mood cycling low, new goal is to just get through this low and not use food as medication. Greatful for the people who support me.
1/22 – gain - not too bothered, focusing more on the mental, the physical will be a focus once I'm through this part. Aiming for a better tomorrow.
1/23 – gain - not impressed but in the grand scheme it's minor. Mood is getting better so I'm happy for being less low. Work is stressful ATM which likely is helping the gain and not helping the low. Staying dry which is positive, trying to find ways to decompress in healthy ways. Still aiming for a better tomorrow.
1/24 – gain - minor so whatever, better thing is the mood is getting better, so greatful for that. Still eating good, less active cause work is eating my lunch breaks but that will be a better in another week. Going to have to be patient and smart with what I can do. Also might have figured out why the scale has been difficult lately but waiting on that test result, nothing serious, just possibly different...

01/18 - 99.4

- Moving in the right direction. No eating after 8PM
01/19 - 99 - Not enough steps in because I was slammed with work, drank my water, but ate dinner after 8
01/20 - 98.3 - Woke up too hungry, hit my water but not food, so I expect this to go up again. Biggest stomach ache ever! I don’t know if it’s the stress from work but wow!!
01/21 - 98.9 Yeah up again, but I was good today with steps, water and food mostly (except for that pesky bakery bread!)
01/22 - 99.3

- Soooo didn't want to see this number! but I do have the week to redress the situation
01/23 - 99 - Have to work through this

Day/Weight/Comment

01/18 137.1 kg
01/19 136.1Think the 1kg loss is partially due to an early weigh in today! BUT knowing I was logging in today DID make avoid nibbles yesterday!!! so

01/20 136.6 I knew yesterday was not really real! but today is still less than day one (137.1 kg)!! and (confession) I did succumb to nibbles

01/21 136.1 not too bad!
01/22 135.8 today Im really going to push the water intake
01/23 135 pleased so far; but then over indulged a bit (on fruit , they are still calories!!)

01/24 135.1 not too bad considering yesterday
01/25 135.5 a bad trend here (due to bad food choices) need to try to do better these last 3 days!!

01/21 - 69kg - had a takeaway last night and a sedentary day getting admin done so unsurprising.
01/22 - 68.8kg - long walk with the dog yesterday, meant to do some weight training and didn't so might try and squeeze it in today.
01/23 - 68.3kg - I think this is the weekends water weight making an exit! No exercise yesterday as had an appointment that went on til 8:30, apart from.walking the dog of course!
01/24 - 68.4 - better than I expected after a carby dinner last night. Did some cross trainer yesterday morning and got up early this morning for a PT session before work. Very poor night's sleep though.
01/25 - 68.2 - aching from my PT session yesterday! Are way under cals yesterday as well so might see this go back up.

quiltingjaine · January 2018

@nikki062181 You are probably retaining some water due to the increase in exercise. Hang in there!

@holisticpradise I find it easiest to copy and paste the dates from the first post on the thread into the notes on my phone. Then I weigh in the morning and put that on the note. Personally I like to read everyone’s update so I do that and then copy my updated note and paste it at the end. When you come back, the program returns you to where you left off.

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!

R28SW: 124.6kg/274.7lbs R28EW: 123.1kg/271.4lbs (-1.5kg/3.3lbs)

Day/Weight/Comment

01/18: 123.3kg/271.8lbs - Ate at a calorie deficit but rested from the gym last night, weightloss is never really linear so I have no doubt this will drop over the 10 days. Out for a work lunch and cardio tonight after work.
01/19: 122.6kg/270.3lbs - Nice to be falling in the right direction. Heavy cardio session last night, however it seemed like I spent more time cleaning my own sweat off of the machines than I did on them!
01/20: 123.0kg/271.2lbs – I imagine that this weekend will probably be up and down before falling overall, I ate at a calorie deficit but rested from the gym.
01/21: 122.6kg/270.3lbs – Back down again. Prepped all my lunches up until Thursday, however I do need to order some more meat in.
01/22: 122.8kg/270.7lbs – Bubbled up a tiny bit, not sure why but I am eating well and have no doubt I will drop overall. Aim is to be sub 120kg soon, if I could do it within these 10 days I would be ecstatic.
01/23: 122.0kg/268.9lbs - Wheeey, I was hoping to see this drop. Still eating meal preps at lunch, granola for breakfast and meat and sweet potato in the evening. Amazing to see how a bit of weight loss can have such a positive effect on my wellbeing. Now lets go sub 120kg!
01/24: 121.8kg/268.5lbs - This is my smallest drop this round (so far) but it is the drop I am most proud of. Starting to become a habit of eating well and drinking lots of water. I did have a beer last night with a massive Lamb stew, it was lushh and I definitely don't regret it - probably high in sodium though but meh.
01/25: 120.8kg/266.3lbs - Wow, this really is a credit to the hard work I'm putting in. I expect it to creep back up soon but right now, I will bask in my 5.1lb weightloss this round! I'm just imagining breaking 120kg...

In for my eighth round

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
Round 28 start weight - 143.20
Round 29 start weight - 140.90

Loss to date - 10.5lbs

Aim to be under 140 by the end of the round......

01/18 140.6lb - 0.3lb off and on my way to be under 140 by end of the round. Feeling organised and motivated

01/19 140.4lb - last of the weekend woosh gone! Work evening out tonight for a meal followed by Cirque de Soleil. Will enjoy but also try to choose wisely from the menu. I will have a couple of glasses of wine but won't be going mad as up early tomorrow to take my daughter out for the day to the National Space Centre - a 2.50 hour drive each way!! On the plus side got the train into work today so plenty of walking to and from the station plus round London tonight.

01/20 DNW. Very late home Friday after a meal and drinks and up early Saturday for a day out so forgot to weigh!
01/21 DNW - actually got a cup of tea in bed so didn't weigh as already had something by the time I got up!

01/22 142.90 lb. Weekend that I didn't track plus a full (healthy) Sunday roast last night. Didn't go mad but as usual weight is up on a Monday and weigh exactly where I was last Monday so not concerned as not a true weight gain. Back to normal today with food and water intake so expecting a good week ahead

and still hopeful for under 140 by the end of the round on Saturday.

01/23 140.90lb - and the weekend woosh!! Plenty of water yesterday and walked 12,000 steps so a good day. Good food day planned today, gym tonight so all on the right path to be under 140 at the end of the round or shortly after! Feel like I've been at this stage for ages so under 140 and stay there will be a huge milestone!

01/24 140.10lb - down 0.80lbs. So close to being under 140 - the scale did in fact wobble around and briefly flicked over to 139.90 but settled here. My under 140 target is in sight!!!!!

01/25 138.70lb - down 1.4lbs. Guess its catch up after weekends out and away and had a "normal" week of eating and training

Can't believe I am under the magic 140 - did change my scale this morning so I could see my weight beginning with a 9!! 9 stone 13lbs - not been there for a very long time!!!!! Now I need to hopefully lose a bit more and never see over 140 again ........ This is the first time I have ever properly calorie counted and watched my macros so shows it works (for me anyway!) - and I honestly believe this group helps so much as it makes me think about my own weight and trends and how weight varies day to day. Onwards and downwards

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.

OW: 202
SW: 161
GW: 160
UGW: 125

1/18: 160.4 I haven't been drinking very well lately, and I expect this number to be up tomorrow, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. Lol
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:

162 Too much sodium and not enough water I believe, but since I've been fluctuating between 3 lbs forever. Who knows.
1/21 163.6 I haven't seen this number in a long time, but I'll be honest with myself here. I ate whatever I wanted for dinner. High calories. Lots of carbs. Lots of sodium. It was family movie night. I positively hate seeing that number, but I so enjoyed my meal.

1/22 161.4 I pushed fluids yesterday and went back to my normal diet. I also biked for 30 minutes. I have 5 more days to see that 160.

Let's do this!
1/23 161.2 I pushed fluids yesterday, ate well, and put in more steps than I have been for awhile now. It's not a big loss, but I'll take it.
1/24 161.6 Not going to lie peeps. I'm starting to get really frustrated. I'm eating well and within my calories. I'm drinking between 50 to 60 oz of fluid. I started walking more and even got back on my exercise bike. I totally don't get it. Also, my 9-year-old has a fever of 101. Boo! I was up every 2 hours checking on him, and then, we had freezing rain. My school district has another snow day, and so does his because of it. Now, I can just be Mommy today. That's a plus.
1/25 161.8 It keeps going the wrong direction. Ugh.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - Round 29
