1/30 :: 179.6
1/31 :: 177.9 - Woot! Body is finally letting go of a little weight, such a boost to my Wednesday

This group challenge has really been helping me through the fluctuations. I had a really bad tendency to get frustrated and think that I'll never get there. Definitely getting stronger so the slow pace is expected. But I have been a bit lazy on my diet. If I want this I'm the only one who can do it for me.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 - 187.6 - Ordering some new clothes to replace worn ones. Hopefully that'll be inspiring.
01/29 - 187.6 - Holding. Though morale is good. Temps are back up and my Tshirts I haven't been wearing are fitting nicer.
01/30 - 187.2 - Training yesterday. Going to climb up our mini mountain today.
01/31 - 187.6 - Mountain did not go, met a friend for lunch instead. Training today.
02/01 - 187.2 - Training was cancelled so I did our mini mountain walk yesterday. Nice weather for it.
02/02 - 188 - Huh, weird. Did the mountain walk again yesterday. Going out tonight.
02/03 - 188.2 - Training and heavy eating yesterday. Digestion feeling slow. Probably should drink more water.

Round 30 Start = 132.4
Goal = NOT to let myself down and regain it all out of fear as I approach initial goal weight 130.0
1/28 - 132.4 - Sunday weight, deserved, have had a really rocky past few days food wise and feeling wise. Did run 4 miles on Saturday.
1/29 - did not weigh Monday. Up since forever, headache, eating sweets for comfort and didn't even log yesterday. Sometimes what was working stops meaning anything, for just a minute, and I have to regroup
1/30 - 132.2 - I logged yesterday, drank water, and slept last night. Rising again even though I fell (Thanks holisticpradise for reminding me)
1/31 - 132.0 - just under calories yesterday, 30 min rowing workout but didn't get steps. Poor sleep last night. Today, THE DENTIST (twice!)
2/1 - 132.0 - a squinch over calories yesterday, rocking 3 mile run. Lots of emo lately.
2/2 - 130.6 - finally lost the bloat from last weekend's indiscretions, in time for ... THIS WEEKEND! Solid workout last night (run to gym, 10 min stairs, 25 min elliptical going hard) and under calories. It's going to be slower loss from here on out, and harder to tell if I am succeeding. This daily tracking and ACCOUNTABILITY really helps.
2/3 - 130.8 - under calories yesterday and ran a couple of miles.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28: 120.5 lbs. yesterday was my cheat day. This is what the cheat day did to my hardworking: gained 1 lb.
01/29: 121.4 lbs. hmm... I have done so well last round. Then I started a cheat day on last Saturday. I only had moderate carbs, but the damage is big. So, cheat day won’t work? Here is from Mr. Google: Carbs break up keto Cheating Affects Your Fat Adaptation. Your body has to make changes, such as altering specific hormones and increasing enzyme production, to optimize conditions for burning fat as fuel on a ketogenic diet. Having cheat meals regularly can prevent your body from continuing this process long enough to stay in ketosis.
01/30: 120.3 lbs... try to get back to ketosis!
01/31: 119.8 lbs. Had one of the best Zumba class with a crazy dancer. Lol she inspired me to move fast, fast, and faster!
02/01: 120.5 lbs. don’t know why it went up. I did everything supposed to do: eating right, went to gym! Frustrated! However, I did dry January!
02/02: 120.5 lbs. No progress no matter how hate I try. What’s wrong??
02/03: 120.3 lbs. bought ketone strip. I am at moderate level. Last night ketone was moderate and this morning is a trace.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 - 148
Aaack! But in fairness, I'm retaining everything. Not sure why (but lower carb means a lot lower fiber than usual and we went out for lunch yesterday so the combo is probably it). Anyway, I'm up today but expect a drop soon. I'm happy if I stay under 150 for the next few weeks.
01/29 - 147.2
OK, right direction, but I still feel bloated and puffy. Not sure why - I'm drinking lots of water. I have gone over my calorie goal the past two days, but still.... Anyway, back on track today, cutting carbs (thanks for the nudge, @quiltingjaine, and I'f off for a walk in a few minutes. Still aiming simply to maintain, but that's in the 146's, not higher!
01/30 - 147
Almost back to the 6's!
01/31 - 146.8
Yay!
02/01 - 147.8
Oops, but not unexpected. Dinner out, including bacon, so more salt than usual. Still within goals.
02/02 - 147.4
So easy to gain, so hard to lose. All good, though. I've reminded myself that 4 months ago I hovered in the 150s. If I continue to lose at this rate, I'll be hovering in the 130s by the end of the year. Slow is sustainable - it helps to remember that.

I didn't do as well in January as I hoped. This process is really an exercise in patience.
01/29: 155.5
I went to a yoga class tonight that I found quite challenging. I'm proud of myself for doing pretty well, I'm mostly new to yoga.
01/30: 154.5
Likely be up again tomorrow, I had a big dinner out with all the sodium. But, I hiked and went for a run today so overall it was a good day for progress, it just won't show up on the scale right away, I'm sure.
01/31: 156.5
I felt like today was a good day, but I still went over my planned calories.
02/01: 158.5
Groan. TOM may be part of it. Gave in to doughnuts at work today after being sugar free most days in Jan, so tomorrow's weigh-in is going to be bad, too.

** 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!
02/01 * 81.3 kg * feeling like an absolute legend!! Treated myself to a few carbs yesterday as my body needed it but it pushed out a steady pace workout last night which made it all the more worth it!
02/02 * 80.9 kg * okay now I just feel like I am making things up! This is my best week yet.. how? Probably helps that it’s an early morning weighing! Had lunch at a friends and was convinced I had ruined the momentum. Maybe it will hit in a few days? Weather was horrifying last night so let the husband take out the pup and treated myself to a full on rest day.
02/03 * 80.8 kg* I’ve been hit by the sodded cycle! Urgh. I am afraid I am going to need pizza to get me through this weekend but I will keep within my calorie intake!!
02/04 * 81.9 kg * urgh! There’s a combination of things here, the coffees, the large pizza (hangs head in shame) and the vicious womanly cycles! Just as I was doing so well! No worries, today is a new day I am just going to have to smash it! Watch this space!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 - 97.8 Ate within calorie limit, but as is the case with every weekend, I'm not as strict on sodium intake
01/29 - 99.4 - Yikes! The salt I'm sure, but not just - yesterday was a hard day resisting food
01/30 - 99 - From what I've learned from these past challenges is that it generally takes 3 days to undo salt damage for me. The only difference food wise is that I've increased my healthy fats - i'm flirting with the idea of a keto diet but since I know absolutely nothing about it, im doing research first. Tips and pointers appreciated though01/31 - 98.6 - Soooo slow coming back down. I really cannot let my guard down on weekends
02/1 - 97.9 - Back on track!
02/2 - 98 - all on track, a little low on the water but food was ok
02/3 - 98.2 - Under calorie and water goal. I hate the weekend weight creeps feels like tomorrow will be up again. It's weird, up until now I used the "If you ate like today in five weeks you'd weigh..." as a gage... If it says 92.5 and up, the likelihood is I'm going to register a gain... anything lower is a loss. But yesterday's number was 90 and I registered a gain... meh!

R30 (2)
01/28 - no access to scales today, also expecting a lot of water weight due to eating out all weekend (very limited food choices), will do what I can to not overeat though!
01/29 - 68.8 - a big jump up, I expected it though after a weekend of limited food options, hopefully just water weight and will come off in the next couple of days
01/30 - 67.8 - followed by a big drop, mostly water from the weekend I think. Also didn't eat much yesterday as I was ill so I expect this will rebound back up a bit.
01/31 - 68.2 - back up a bit, ate late last night and got up and weighed early. So far no change this round!
02/01 - 68.3 - ate at maintenance yesterday, as well as having achy muscles from a PT session - trainer upped all my weights. Hopefully won't creep too much higher!
02/02 - 68.7 - been eating a lot of carby food this week, will try to eat less of it today and see what happens. Cals have been at or slightly above maintenance so need a few good days to finish the round. Difficult because we're eating out tonight and tomorrow
02/03 - 69.0 - yikes this has been a bad 10 days! I certainly haven't put on this much fat, as I've gone only a little over on cals. However we did have a 3 course dinner out last night so I'm guessing there's a lot of water weight hanging around. If I can manage 3 ok days hopefully I'll finish the 10 days staying about the same!!
02/04 - 68.4 - a better day yesterday so some water has gone, hopefully another good day today will help too! Played hockey yesterday but also ate out.7 -

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!

1/28 65.5kg out to lunch and managed to keep food and wine under control to stay stable at least. 9km walk.
1/29 65.5 20min run, 20 min row, strength work. No alcohol during the week.
1/30 65.5kg argh scales not moving. Gym, weights, half hour swim. Eating within calorie range. Frustrated.
1/31 65.2kg It moves! Early cross trainer and then on the road travelling. Feeling good without midweek drinking.
1/1 64.7kg it moves again! Went for a jog, a walk and a swim. Love this group and what it’s doing for me.
2/1 64.7kg Away from home and not in my usual territory. Swim, short jog and walk. A little looser with my calories today, not so extreme. Still just over 1000. First glass of wine for the week.
2/2 64.9kg argh. Swings and roundabouts I guess. Walk and planning a swim later on. Lots of gardening and see how we go.
