Round 31 (1st Round for Me)
Goal: Lose 2 lbs., 10,000 + Steps, Include Strength Tr., Eat with in Calories, Lots of Water!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07: 246
10,083 Steps, 30 Min. Yoga, Ate 400 Cal. over Goal, No Gain or Loss

02/08: 244.2
-1.8 lbs. Yay! I know weight fluctuates and this will probably go up and down throughout the 10 days but it's encouraging to see. I can see why you are all saying that weighing yourself daily is a good thing, to show patterns and what effects your body. 10,246 Steps, 20 Min. Lower Body Str. Training, Ate within my Calories.

02/09: 241.8 (Very close to hitting my 1st goal weight!)
-2.4 lbs. Wow! I've been on and off Fitness Pal for years but when I would log in it would be me guessing and not being completely honest. Not using it every day, and even when I did I usually was way over my calorie range. The last few days I've logged every bite.
10,438 Steps, 1 Hour Walk, Ate within all MFP goals.

02/10: 242.6
+0.8 lbs. First gain in the challenge. Yesterday I ate within my calories but ate all of my exercise calories and went 10 over in sugar. Drank about half the water I usually do and was in a lot of pain last night (back, legs, and feet). So, I might be retaining water due to this. No where close to 10,000 Steps. 30 min. Arms and Abs w/ Cardio.

02/11: 240.8
-1.8 lbs. Back down again. I didn't think I would be losing this much, I've had such a hard time losing weight the last few years. Even though I've been eating really healthy, drinking lots of water and being more active. The staying within the calorie goal and logging everything seems to be the answer. Yesterday I ate within my goal and walked a little under 10,000 steps.

02/12: 240.6
-0.2 lbs. Ate within range, walked 9,775 Steps, and did 30 min. lower body str. training. That makes 5.4 lbs. lost for the week! (Mon. was my weekly weigh in day before the challenge)
And I'm almost to my 1st goal of 239.

I'm back. We will be moving soon, and driving for a week beginning on the 16th, so my goal for the next two rounds is to maintain. Losing a bit would be great, but I won't worry about that, esp. when we're on the road. Thanks again for this group!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07 - 147
A little surprised, but I walked 3.5 miles yesterday and spent an hour packing and moving boxes around, so it's probably "muscle water" since I stayed within my calorie goal.

02/08 - 147
I went out for dinner last night and my sodium for the day was high, so still water. Otherwise I've been on target and have taken advantage of non-rainy days for nice long walks. I'm happy maintaining, but I won't lie - I'd love to hit 146 before we hit the road. We shall see!

02/09 - 146.8
There's that number again!

We hit the road a week from today. Will I drop .8 lb by then? Maybe....

02/10 - 147.2
Makes no sense. But ok, whatever.

02/11- 147.2
And here we are again.

I'm actually quite happy with my resistance to stress eating, living in a house full of boxes and all the other "stuff" that comes with moving, and I think this little uptick is pretty much meaningless. I've stayed on track with calories and macros, and have even gotten a little exercise. All good!

02/12 - 146.8
Up down up down....

@mamabear10717 Up to 6 cups a day should not have a detrimental effect on hydration. In fact, according to my doctor all liquids count towards your 8 glasses a day, not just water. But of course, other liquids do have calories that have to be counted whereas water has none.

JGM10D | 2018 Edition | Round 4
(Round 31)

Long-term Focus: In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.
I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs. Lose 1lb per round. [/color]

to Round 31
This has given me a motivational element of daily accountability.
Observations, and Previous Rounds

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!
Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending many factors.

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!

02/07 - 272.0

Getting close to being out of the 270s!

02/08 - 272.0

Holding steady. Too much sodium last night, but stayed within my calorie goal.

02/09 - 271.6

This was a planned "over" day for me. It always makes me a bit nervous when I exceed my usual calorie goal by several hundred calories, but I'm just trying to remind myself that it will be fine.

02/10 - No Data

I try to only use the scale at work, so I won't be weighing in today or tomorrow as it is the weekend. I somehow managed to keep it under 1,800 calories for the day, which almost never happens on Saturday!

02/11- No Data

Another good day. I struggle to find things to occupy my time on the weekends. I don't love going to work during the week, but at least it keeps me busy.

02/12 - 269.8

Yay! It had been a mini-goal of mine to be in the 260s by my birthday in a couple of weeks, but I got there early!

Goal = work slowly toward new goal weight 127.0 (then we will see, UGW may be 125)

2/7 - 130.6 - under calories and a short walk, short row yesterday.
2/8 -131.0 - not a great day yesterday, nice walk at noon but no real workout and a bit over calories. Emo day about family stuff, and work is crazy right now. Plus side, trying to rehydrate and that may be part of the "gain"
2/9 - 131.4 - great workout yesterday and also phenomenal overeating. Back to sanity today, trying to stay mindful, breathing at work. Trouble adhering to my limit now that I am so close to goal, part of me says "good enough" but this is the pattern - get to goal and then re-gain! Not, not, not this time.
2/10 - 131.6 - over yesterday and no workout. 12 hours sleep tho. Guess why the discipline was slipping so bad? I think I was totally exhausted. Today so far, more stable and less cravings.
2/11 - 131.6 - yesterday under calories, thanks to a killer workout and 16,000 steps lol. Today so far, not good at all. Aagghh! My discipline is non existent.

2/12 - 131.2 - yesterday under maintenance, though not under my .5/week loss plan. BUT I RAN 6.1 MILES yesterday and it was awesome ... I sometimes forget for a while how much I love running. I resist because it's so hard. But then I get out there and I love it ...

02/13 - 68.2kgs : ok so my no added sugar yesterday didnt pan out as I wanted. During lunch time when I went home to workout, I ended up eating noodles that mum has made. I didn’t want to waste it! But at least Im back down to 68.2kgs. I really want to get to my 67’s! But TOTM is coming soon so I’m hoping I’m hovering around the 68’s because of that reason…

Can someone show me how to set this up? I am not very good on the computer. Today is my second day and I am good. I started at 213 and am now down to 211. I gained about 10 pounds very quickly, so my guess is it will come off quickly. I did go out this afternoon and did a long walk and stuck to my plan. I saw cupcakes that I would have loved, but walked by. Hooray!! More tomorrow

02/07 138.0 work wore me out. Gonna take it easy tonight.
02/08 137.2 no surprise sitting on couch leads to overeating.
02/09 138.0 just eating a lot and not moving as much
02/10 142.2 stopped taking the diuretic for my high blood pressure 3 days ago, haven’t exercised in a week, been eating more, and made a bad food choice last night. Honestly gaining a few pounds doesn’t bother me. I’m angry that an innocent bowl of oatmeal with a little dried fruit last night has me so sick today. Between the food allergies and GI restrictions, sometimes the feeling of deprivation is disheartening. If my body is going to feel this bad, I should at least be eating something decadent- not Quaker Oats! So today I loaded up on antihistamines, kept my inhaler close, and binged on some of the less dangerous foods I’ve been missing. Hoping to get this rebellious streak out of my system and get back to taking care of myself like an adult again.

02/09: 222 this morning! I went snowshoeing yesterday and the day before, and I'm surprisingly not sore. Wish I would've had time to go again today. I have a nice deficit today anyway.
02/10: 223.4?? Had a 900 calorie deficit, sodium and macros were on track. The only thing I can think of is water. I usually aim for 100oz, but I think I only made about 60oz yesterday. Tonight, we had a fundraiser meal at our school. Rich Italian soups and beautiful whole wheat rolls. I got too close to the dessert table and may or may not have splurged on brownies and cookies. Water intake was also low again. I expect tomorrow's weight to be up.
02/11: 223.1. That was a nice surprise. Much better than gaining. Ate within calories today. No exercise.
02/12: 221.7 Technically, I'm within calories today. My sodium and carbs are both over a bit, but not too badly. I'm surprised that my numbers aren't further out of whack because my honey took me out for an early Valentine's dinner at my favorite local Mexican restaurant. Their V-Day special had fried ice cream and two house margaritas with our fajita platter. Did I mention that my partner doesn't drink? To be fair, I've also drank over 100oz of water today and still going.

02/09 Been snowed in for 2 days! Haven’t left the house except to shovel. Starting tracking calories again, been gaining steadily.
02/10 low protein; steady activity all day- so very beat.
02/11 174. Tracking is making me accountable again. Even with temps hovering -20C I completed many errands and wrangled booties on the dog for a huge walk- almost 2km at my shuffle pace. And I had the first good sleep last night in weeks!
02/12 174.4. Decent day.
