@nikki062181 hi Nikki, no u are absolutely right! I just want to get into my pre baby clothes. I see all these other mums who have slipped right in and it’s just been super hard for me. My little man is 6 months.. refuses to eat which baffles me seeing as I am on a thread trying to loose weight! Ha4

** Round 30 **
Female, 5'5"
Starting Weight: 82.3 kg (181.44 lbs)
Goal Weight: 64 kg (141.1 lbs)
I’ve just seen this thread and hopefully this will motivate me a little more! My heart is in it but not sure I am doing enough? Just had a baby 6 months ago and I am desperate to get back to my pre-baby weight! I thought I ate healthy throughout it all but obviously not! Eek! Clearly all the pregnancy yoga and swimming did more damage than good! Ha!
My GW for this round: 81 kg; or 178 lbs (not sure if that’s realistic? But what the hell let’s give it a whirl!)
Can I work in kg?!
01/28 * 82.3 kg * hadn’t seen the thread, probably somewhere eating bread (eek!)
01/29 * 82.3 kg * Did a low intensity cardio workout, although I am able to train a little more now since having the little one, I still am not fit enough to hit a high intensity training session yet. (Slowly but surely!) Overall, including exercise, consumed under daily calorie allowance.
01/30 * 81.9 kg * I always weigh myself in the mornings so here we go. Positive, must be my low intensity workout! Ha out today, must resist temptation to grab a coffee!
01/31 * 81.5 kg * yaaaaas! Serious calorie controlling yesterday and took the dog for a walk. Feel like today’s going to be one of those hungry days.. eek! Today’s going to be my gym night so I need to smash it to keep up the momentum!

All aboard the 10 Days train!
Welcome newcomers & Great to see you back, familiar faces!!
Had the bomb-digity last couple of rounds. Expected a big drop in R28 - shedding all the holiday gain. Ecstatic with the huge R30 progress! Craving more!
Officially 10 pounds lighter than my previous MFP attempt. So happy to have achieved this in a healthy, sustainable way. No more diet pills, prepackaged meal schemes, and other whatnot that I would just gain back plus some afterwards. It's a lifestyle, not a diet.
Let's show the scale who's boss!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28: 144.0 Good start. Friday's delicious pizza and Saturday's yummy Mexican food haven't revealed themselves on the scale yet. Within calories though, so hopefully the damage won't be too bad.
01/29: 144.8 Not a bad weekend gain, especially considering last weekend's 1.6 pounds.
01/30: 144.8 Steady is good. Hopefully will start going down tomorrow. Over two pounds less than this time last week, so yay!

I believe in my ability to MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES, to LOSE WEIGHT, and KEEP IT OFF!12 -
Long-term Focus: In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.
Still 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 30
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!

01/28 - 116.4 - Happy to be staying at this weight even after a weekend of not so great eating
01/29 - 116.5 - Had a hard workout last night, so I was planning on some water retention
01/30 - 114.6 - Super surprised to see this number on the scale today considering the amount of sodium I had yesterday and sore muscles, but I make no complaints. Skipping office drinks and pizza today because of scheduling conflicts, but pretty glad I don't need to hold strong in the face of free pizza and cocktails!
01/31 - 114.9 - I knew it would be up a bit, but still bummed. I had a big, high sodium Georgian dinner complete with some khachapuri to celebrate DH's new job last night, so I ate back my exercise calories, which I hate to do. Not too much damage, though I definitely need to cut back on sodium for the next couple of days.

Day/Weight/Comment:
01/28: (no weight) - So I went out and got a bit bevved on Saturday so spent most of Sunday hungover hugging the sofa, I still ate within my calories but I didn't manage to drag myself onto the scale haha.
01/29: 122.1kg/269.2lbs - Yeah I'll take this, imagine there is some beer weight still floating around in me. Back to the gym today and ready to smash this week again. Aiming for another 2/3lbs loss however my scales are being very indecisive, may have to look at investing in a new one.
01/30: 120.7kg/266.1lbs - YESSS, my lowest weight in a long time. Starting to wear shirts I haven't in a long time, it's a great feeling. Meal preps for lunch still going strong with 2/3ltrs of water a day and gym 4 times a week.
01/31: 120.8kg/266.3lbs - I know it's nice seeing a drop but stability is key too, more than happy to stay in the 120s for a few days, I am expecting a big drop soon though. Cardio today, managed to run 5k the last couple of weeks but really want to push myself and get closer to 7.5k and edge my way towards 10k. Onwards and upwards.

Loss to date - 13.5lbs
Had a great round 29 so hoping it continues - R30 goal is 136lb.....
01/28 138.4lb - unsurprisingly slightly up - yesterday (although not over calories allowance) I spent my whole day at the computer, drinking coffee and too little water and didn't hardly move at all. I'm an accountant and its tax return deadline on Wednesday 31st so really busy. More of the same today too ....... must have more water today if nothing else........
01/29 139.1lb - not unusually I weigh more on a Monday - the usual full Sunday roast and dessert (all in calories just a lot of food concentrated in the evening!). And on top of that the whole weekend spent in front of a computer. So am happy with this especially as still under the 140lbs! No reason this won't be a good week
01/30 139.4lb - not surprised! Caught my kids cough and cold and was up half the night drinking water trying to stop myself coughing so drank loads plus had lemsips and hot drinks! However my calories and macros yesterday were spot on (as was my fluid intake!!) so know this is the scales lying to me
01/31 138.20 - my usual fall on the scales on a Wednesday post weekend. Still not back to my all time low of last week but only by 0.30lb which I'll allow myself as still full of cold so still dosing up on lemsips and cough medicines! Went to the gym last night but not a 100% effort as feel rough - but I went so pleased with that. Will keep drinking plenty, eating sensibly and watch those scales continue to go down! A new month tomorrow and closer to Spring

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28; 106.0 - My Birthday - Didn't weigh in, had buffet lunch and spent the day riding in the car to/from grandmas. I have my meals planned for 1/29 and this board will help me stay accountable.
01/29: 107.0 - I mean, I didn't want this number, but it is what it is and it reflects what I've been doing. eating too much crap, not focused and just beating myself up mentally. I'm ready for that to change. I want tomorrows number to be better. Surprising enough, last week I had a 104.6 number...so I know this is feasible for this challenge. Goal tomorrow is to be 106.x
1/30: 105.4 - Woosh, there it is. High Fat yesterday, and the scale showed it. I will keep high fat again today as I just loved how it made me feel, satiated and not craving.
1/31: 103.8 - Day 2 of intermittent fasting. Today I did One 4 hour eating window and wow, look at the results. My last meal was finished at 1230pm, so technically, If I'm not hungry, I can maybe make this an entire 24hour fast. I love the number on the scale. I'm in disbelief at how well checking in with this group has made me focus. I honestly expected this weight on day 10 instead of day 4. Macros ; Fat:55% Carb:25% Protein:15%11 -

This is one woman that's back for more. Thank you @cyranda63 for continuing to create the rounds and make the group. You've been a HUGE support in my weight loss journey. Now, let's do this! "Your body can stand almost anything. It's your mind you have to convince."
OSW: 202
SW: 161
GW:160
UGW: 125
1/28: 159 3 days of making sure my carbs and sodium stay stay within my goal. 3 days of dropping my one pop that I allow myself everyday and substituting it for hot tea, and I show a loss. A 2 lb loss, which appears to be my WHOOSH! Now let's hope it sticks and continues. Yesterday, I threw a surprise 30th anniversary party for my family. I ate well and within my calories. I even skipped the cake I had made for them. It paid off. "Junk food you've craved for an hour, or the body you've craved for a lifetime. Your decision."
1/29: 159 My nephew turned 7 today. We went to his house to celebrate. I once again chose to skip the dessert. Then again, it was red velvet cake, so it wasn't too hard. That stuff is nasty! "Look in the mirror. That's your competition."
1/30: 158.2 It was a crazy day today. It's National Catholic Schools Week, and it kept me hopping at work. I also took my 14-year-old son out for some 1:1 time to dinner. It was really nice. PLUS I found out my 9-year-old son is Student of the Week. "The best project you'll ever work on is you."
1/31: 188.8 I usually eat dinner by 6 p.m., but I had to work until 7:30 last night. It was family day, and all of us teachers honored our parents and students by cooking them a meal and serving them last night. So, I ended up eating late. Dont like the bump up, but it happens. There is one thing I am learning. "The secret of losing weight is patience."

@mamabear10717 I was never able to slip right back into my pre-pregnancy weight either. I've come to the realization that my body is made differently. I am not naturally thin, so it won't bounce back like some. I'm also not a millionaire, so I can't afford these personal trainers and chefs. I'm more like Marilyn Monroe. I've got curves goin' on. There's nothing wrong with that. Also, when my youngest was born, he wouldn't eat for the life of him either. He developed pika as a result. He stayed that way for about the first 7.5 years. When he was about 8, he all of a sudden started to love food. My Grandmother always told me that a baby or child will never go hungry because they will let you know when they want to eat.5
