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.
2/4 - 130.8 - under calories, made my step goal with some low intensity movement, just exhausted so got 8 full hours of crashout. Does not happen every day. Coffee shop with a friend today, working on a plan (it was my nemesis last weekend)
2/5 - 131.0 way over calories, coffee shop went fine then I blew it at home. Headache, didn't run, using food for comfort, didn't sleep. In other news, it's Monday :P

2/2 106.3 - February is going to be great!
2/3 106.4
2/4 107 - that's okay

Also question for everyone, I am being lame sorry.. what is TOM?xx
Thanks. Hubby is getting better, just needs some time to heal. I’m staying home to make sure he doesn’t overdo it.
TOM is time of month for having your period.
OMG haha thank you! Well that’s me at the moment then eek! And aww I am glad.. the more rest he gets the faster the recovery! xx2 -

@DStan304 You may get a drop tomorrow. Give your body 2-3 or more days to show a change. If you drop tomorrow, it is not because you ate breakfast today.
@andfivesixseveneight Don’t forget to take care of YOU! Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
@SherryRueter Thank you. After 50+ years of trying to lose weight, I have learned a couple of things (and have a huge collection of diet books) and am an avid reader. I like to try to help others, so make suggestions for what might work.2 -

01/30 - 141.6 Bit of weightlifting and under caloriegoal, feeling very good!
01/31 - 140.0 I don't know what happened here, actually ate more than usual yesterday and also late in the evening because of my workout. Probably won't stick.
02/1 - 138.7 Where am I losing this weight from?! I haven't (unfortunately) been very strict on calories, getting to over 2000... Maybe it'll be back up tomorrow.
02/2 - 138.9 Up indeed but nothing to complain about. Lots of vegetables and fruit yesterday.
02/3 - 138.1 Long day at work, workout, lots of vegetables but overall not much food. I need to eat enough not to lose (more) muscle.
02/4 - 138.5 Ate more than enough veggies but had a cookies and candy bingehour, probably also because I ate too little the day before... On the bright side, that only happened for the first time since R29!
02/5 - 138.9 2 matches again and a lot of salt intake, expected fluctuations.

02/05 = 215.2. I really didn't want to post today after weigh-in. There were bumps yesterday; I figured out that something specific I thought was moderately healthy is actually quite bad (and AFTER I had just eaten it, not before). But overall I thought I did well yesterday (especially for a Superbowl), until the dirty weigh-in. I'm hopeful that it's salt-related; mother-in-law's chicken enchiladas were good, but she is a salt fiend, and salt was terrible yesterday overall. I have to acknowledge that I feel disappointed today, and that this is a feeling that would lead me to giving up in the past. I'm thinking of the "choose your hard" quote that's in someone's post here daily, and that's easy (thank you @sweetnsassyfied for giving me something to easily refer back to when I'm struggling); I choose to persevere toward my goal(s) and continue to lose weight. I'm resetting in my mind my goal for this 10 day challenge. There's basketball tonight, and I'm going to be happy if I can weigh-in tomorrow at or below my starting weight for this round (214.0). Today will be a good day of eating, and I won't be eating back my exercise calories.

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.
02/03 - 147
Okie dokie.
02/04 - 146.8
Nice to see you again! Feel free to stay a while.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 / 285.2 I am not drinking enough water! Currently it is 1 degree outside. Dehydration is Real!
01/29 / 284.6 I went to lunch with a friend yesterday and was afraid to eat! Turns out if I’d eaten everything I ordered, I still would have been under my goal. Not everything had a calorie count provided, and I had to wait to log it in until I had my laptop. Thanks to the fantastic MFP database, all items had counts!
01/30 / 285.0 I was under my calories, but I struggled to get my water in yesterday. I am also having TMI issues. Hopefully this passes. (ha!)
01/31 / 285.0 Hmmm. I did go out with friends last night for dinner. Had halibut about 6 ounces, Brussels sprouts. I thought I was doing well, and I was so under calories for the day that I fixed a big snack. Not again.
02/01 / 285.0 Again. I expected this further along this journey. Oh well, I’m working my counts. I’ll drop.
02/02 / 284.8 I’ll take it!
02/03 / 284.2 WOOT!
02/04 / No scale access, on travel. I did drink two beers, so I’m over calories.
02/05 / 286.4 Okay. Superbowl plus those two beers. A lot of sodium as well. I am working my plan and drinking my water. This is a marathon and a lifestyle change. If this condition persists past Wednesday, I will reevaluate my intake/output.

SW 66.1
GW 63
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.
2/3 64.4kg feeling good, jog in the morning, then driving 4 hours.
2/4 64.5kg weights session, swim and sitting at a desk most of the day. Feeling good about keeping on track.
2/5 65.5 usually weigh myself first thing but forgot and drank a bottle of water so not a benchmark. Oh well. Feeling like a bit of plateau happening.

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.

01/28: 130.8
Hey, I’ll take it. *\o/*
01/29: 131.6
We ate out yesterday and I had a chocolate brownie (worth it!) plus I weighed myself before going *ahem* number 2, to be delicate. So I will be better hopefully tomorrow.
01/30: 131.6
Guess I’m just having a fluke or something because I did everything right yesterday. I do feel a little bloated so I will be drinking more water today. *shrug*
01/31: forgot to weigh but overate
02/01: 131.6
Rough day yesterday. My sprained ankle was feeling like it wasn’t healing right, so I went to the doctor. It turns out I’ve been walking around with a fracture for a month, and because of the location it’s going to take at least 2 months to heal. Good news though is that it will be less likely to roll from now on, as my muscles are having to overcompensate for the weakness and now they will be stronger (according to doc). Also, woke up this morning and I’m pretty sure I have the flu.
02/02: 131.0
Maybe being tired and ill has made my appetite go down. Regardless I’m down some. I have a reading tonight so this will me feel a little better about myself standing in front of a bunch of people (ok probably only 20 will show up, but still).
02/03: forgot to enter the weight, but it was 130.9
02/04: 130.8
Yesterday I ate TERRIBLY. Actually it wasn’t that bad compared to the family members I was hanging out with, who are all extremely obese and/or morbidly obese (which is fine except they aren’t trying to do anything about it). It usually takes 2 days for the results of my poor eating decisions to show up, so we will see how I am tomorrow. Fortunately/ unfortunately, I had to do a lot of walking (so I burned a few cals) as my husband and I were on the hunt for the perfect set of new dinnerware, which took us at least 10 stores to find. By the end of the day my fractured ankle was killing me and today I will be icing it and resting :’-(
02/05: 131.4
Woke up to weight gain...I was out late with some friends last night and we ate late at a gastropub. I don’t drink (because soooo many xtra cals) but I definitely pounded back a brownie. On the flip side: I woke up to find out that I’m being published in the 25th anniversary edition of one of my favorite art and lit mags!

R30GW: Going to try for 96 this time I'm going to try increasing my fats and really decreasing my carbs.
I need to make my daily water goal 96oz
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!
02/4 - 98.4 - Would LOVE for once not to register a gain on weekends! This is plain ridiculous. I didn't even have anything which would cause this gain... Not yesterday, not the day before. Under my calorie goal, over my water goal. A little salt in a lamb tajine but come on! At least it's only 400g but still grrr
02/5 - 98.2 no comment about the yo-yo effect
02/64 -
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!
