02/07 - 137 and I am off
02/08 - 137.8 yesterday was a no log day. Took a cooking chocoholic class in the morning and it was all down hill after that! But I am on track today. I ran 5.5 miles and am logging
02/09 - 137.4 not on track yet, but getting closer. Logging only half the day. I am a work in progress
02/10 - 137.8 Just not logging. I need a swift kick in the butt to get going!
02/11 - 139.2 UGH!!!
02/12 - 139.4 it has not been a good start but I am feeling motivated. So here's to a good week!!!
02/13 - 138.2 Not logging a full day yet, but definitely getting more mindful. Progress

Maan - I was just thinking about how difficult things might be to get the weight off this time, and I came across this. This is a great idea - I'm in!!
**Round 31**
Heaviest/Round 31 Starting Weight: 235lbs at 5’ 11” (Feb 6th 2018)
Lightest Weight: 175lbs (March 2009)
Round 31 Goal Weight: 232 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 185 lbs
Daily Goals:
Drink 90-120oz of water daily; consume 1300 cal and measure food; no added sugars/sweeteners; around 1500mg sodium intake max; get in as many steps as possible; do chi gung; sleep more than 6 hours nightly!
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07: 235 – Almost hit a snag when a major meal ingredient ended up missing, but found a good substitution! Sodium went over pretty badly (2711 mg) – I’ll have to reduce prepared foods for tomorrow. Steps were on the lower end. Everything else good!
02/08: 234.4 - Number moving in the right direction! Missed chi gung, but measuring steps now that FB Blaze is operational. Sodium vastly improved, but still 300 mg over goal.
2/09: 233.6 – All day before dinner was great, hitting all goals! Except…dinner came with pizza, which probably ended up being not so great for both calorie goals and sodium intake. We’ll see how tomorrow looks!
02/10: 234 – Shabbat means rest, and often results in laxity
. Off on water and sleep, chi gung was absent, steps were low (hanging around the house), and I ate a lot more, junk or not. Will have to figure out how to manage this better.
02/11: 236.2 – Number did not surprise me due to Shabbat habits, but I did not like seeing that. It often comes down after a day of disciplined wellness, but we’ll see. Food and exercise goals were on point, but this was my second night with interrupted or less sleep that aimed for. The workweek should put me back in routine for this. Let’s see if I’m impacted by this…
02/12: 234.8 Number is going back in the right direction! I’ll be foregoing Shabbat laxity for the next few rounds. Have been below my calories just slightly and have been finding I am tired earlier than normal, so I want to make sure I hit those and the macro ratios involved. No chi gung, so I’ll want to do that and up my steps for tomorrow.
02/13: 233 – Under my last lowest weigh-in! Fingers are crossed for my R31 goal! Aiming to hit all the marks today and the menu and morning are looking good for it so far.

Goal for this round: 212.0
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 = 212.6. Day one, and so far, so good (-1.4 lbs). I wanted to get mad yesterday when I didn't lose any weight in last challenge, but I need to realize that good work I do one day may not always show up the exact next day. My body fluctuates on a daily basis, and sometimes I do not get a particular number exactly when I want it. Today is a "whoosh" because I have generally been doing pretty well. Whatever does not show up on this weigh-in will show up on the next. Or the next.
02/08 = 212.4. Figured out as (wanted to say “after,” but it was “as”) I bought my lunch yesterday that it was BAD; too many calories, too much salt. I threw half of it away, ate mindfully the rest of the day/night, and ended up still staying under calories for the day. This was a big victory for me, one that I would not have had a few weeks ago. I have the gym and basketball tonight, so I’m hoping to keep the positive vibes rolling!
02/09 = 211.4. This is feeling easy again. Under calories last night not including exercise. Took a walk during the day, went to the gym to lift weights, and played basketball for an hour. I know this is hard (I remember last week!), but it doesn’t feel that way right this second. This is my version of being in the zone. I know it won’t last forever, but I’m enjoying it. I wish this feeling on all of you!
02/10 = 212.6. Ate out twice yesterday. It’s funny. I woke up feeling great yesterday, but my energy level dropped like crazy as the day went by, and I was pretty much spent by lunch. I'm pretty sure I'm fighting off a cold (at least), and that I'm in a vulnerable state as a result (eating-wise). I’m realizing that this is also a pattern, and one of those things that can really throw me off of any good habits I might have. I ended up having both lunch and dinner out. I didn’t eat “crazy,” but I definitely could have made better choices. I was slightly over my calorie goal for the day (estimated), and definitely way over in Na+. I’m feeling a little better this morning, so I’m going to go to the gym, then play basketball, and see if I can have a really good weekend of eating mindfully, staying in control, and NOT being sick. Today will be the first time my wife has seen me play basketball in the 14 years we have been together (6+ of them married).
02/11 = 212.0. Ate out twice again yesterday! I kept things under control for the most part, and it was a great basketball day. It’s SO HARD to estimate calories when I eat out certain places.
02/12 = 211.4. Here’s what I’m NOT going to do right now: make a new goal for this challenge. Every time I’ve done that so far it’s been a kiss of death. That being said, I’m quite pleased with the number. I did well yesterday, stayed within calorie goals, and likely shed some salt/water weight from the past couple of days. Slow and steady. Don’t get too excited or too upset, no matter what the scale says. Keep doing all the good things you’ve been doing up to this point. AND basketball is tonight!
02/13 = 211.6. I'm a little confused here. I destroyed it at basketball yesterday. I think I was within calories a too, even without my exercise calories. The only thing I can think of is that my lunch estimation was off in calories and/or Na+. My water intake was also a little low, particularly on a basketball day. Whatever! Things are still going well. No basketball for a week and a half, so I need to stay focused and add some cardio at the gym.

Ending Round 30 Weight: 106.9 (pounds) which was the goal . . . but . . . I have lost my edge, eating over calories, blowing off exercise and just all around not feeling motivated. Weighing daily reveals my weight is beginning to climb again.
Let's Start Over
New Beginning!
2/7 - 107.3 (goal this round is 106.5 or less of course)
2/8 - 107.0 - feeling ready to commit to the plan again: Calorie, Exercise and Wine goals
2/9 - 106.4 - I have a few days off work and can focus on my goals (looking forward to working in the yard and playing with the doggies).
2/10 - 107.1 Calorie intake is too high even for added exercise. Typical for me. Gotta stay mindful in the evenings.
2/11 - 106.8 - feels like my true weight. Hmmm . . . in theory if I have a deficit of 200 kcals/day for the next 5 days I could reach a "true weight" of 106.5 lbs which is my goal. This is doable!
2/12 - 108.1 - eek! The closer I get to the ultimate goal the hungrier I get. Starting over today (Monday). Hungry is the new normal for me
2/13 108.1 - not to panic, I followed the plan yesterday - a correction is coming soon.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07: forgot to weigh
02/08: 130.6
Not sure how this is possible. I ate horribly yesterday.
02/09: 132.4
I acted out on my bingeing tendencies last night when I discovered this place down the road from us that made vegetable pot pies that are delicious. I have a food baby today. :-(
02/10: 131.6
Ok. So the bloat is gone. Whew! I think bingeing will be something I ALWAYS struggle with, no matter what my weight is. I think when people see a thin person walking down the road, they take it for granted that they have always been thin. The fact of the matter is, it’s a daily effort.
02/11: 131.4
Feeling alright-ish. Went to a family birthday party and I ate small portions. Had fruit as a side instead of something higher cal. Just 30 calories away from going over and I have a tendency to LNS. I may try to hit the hay early.
02/12: avoided the scale like the plague yesterday. I felt so bloated. It wasn’t worth hating myself.
02/13: 130.8
Back down to my weight when I re-started MFP after a 7 lb gain (I came on here at 136 I believe, but started this challenge later). Still bloated this AM. Made a healthier tuna noodle casserole by replacing the mayo with 98% fat free cream of mushroom...it was surprisingly low cal, so I gorged. I’m bloated again this morning. From now on I will be tossing back water. I know I have complained about it a TON on these challenges but I can’t wait until my fractured foot heals so I can start swimming again. I’m always motivated to eat healthier when I’m working out.

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 ...
2/13 -130.8 - hello again 130.x - yesterday under calories, only "workout" was walking back to work in the evening which is not my favorite... get stuff done with nobody there though!!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 173.5 Focus today - WATER! Not my favorite beverage but it will be today.
02/08 – It's now 9:00 pm and I heading to bed. I totally forgot to weigh this morning. Had to be at work at 6:00 am. Got up at 4:40 am. Weighing was the farthest thing from my mind. I did stay within my calories but was way short on water. Did 30 minute of circuit training at the gym and walked 12,067 steps. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
02/09 – 172.0 Need to definitely do better on my water but I'll take it!
02/10 – 172.1 Went out to dinner last night. Glad there was not much change cuz I wasn't as diligent as I should have been watching my portions. Got up this morning and walked 5 miles. I've already got my 10,000 steps in. Let's keep it going.
02/11
02/12 – 173.6 Not surprising. Yesterday was a blur. Totally forgot to weigh and record (not a good start). Met a friend for lunch, had crab ravioli. A lot of running around, very little water and Japanese food for dinner (sodium city).
02/13 -173.2 I have to get this water thing in check. I hate water! I've tried cucumbers, lemon slices and berries in my water (not althogether) but it still taste like water. Any suggestions?

LCHF, Yoga, Walking and Lifting weights
2/7 :: - 153.3 Great day food wise and exercise wise!
2/8 :: - 153.4 food was pretty much spot on until I bought a giant cookie and devoured it - mind you it was my birthday and my only non-low carb treat and dang it was good! I also got in 13k+ steps and lifted weights! I expect to see my weight pop up in a few days due to water retention!
2/9 :: - 153.4 had a good day! I played around with some low carb baking and it turned out well. In the freezer now to enjoy this upcoming week!
2/10 :: - 153.4 today is bday celebrations with the family at the original pancake house. I will try to be good hehehehe went higher in carbs BUT I didn't order pancakes. Shared an omelet and had toast - sour dough toast with butter and strawberry preserves sooooo good!
2/11 :: - 153.4 today got in some steps trying out some new running shoes in my living room and lifted...I Am SORE !! Well...I was doing well with carbs but I ended up too hungry and when I made a low carb chili I ended up eating some Trader Joe Corn Poppers (which are to die for!), and I bet I ate far too many
2/12 :: - 155.0 - water weight likely from weight lifting the day before.
2/13 :: - 155.8 - hmmmm still up. Likely still water weight (I hope!)

Round 31 Starting Weight: 151.6
Ultimate Goal Weight: 120
Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 150.6 lbs: Been eating around my calorie limit of 1200. Measuring my food out. No complaints!
02/08 - 150.4 lbs: I was really under my calorie goal, but during the whole day yesterday, I didn't feel hungry.
The hunger hit me when I went to bed.
02/09 - 150.8 lbs. Agreeable. Yesterday's calorie-intake was a bit of an overload due to boredom.
02/10 - ????? lbs. Had a funeral to attend to yesterday, and ate all of my feelings away. Had a big feast last night. Ate so much I didn't care to log in everything in because I was with family and friends for support. No biggie, just cheated the whole day today.
02/11 - 156.8 lbs. GAINED 6 lbs within 2 DAYS. Understandable... My last meal yesterday was ramen, and so all of that salt retained my weight, right? Correct me if I'm wrong guys lol. I promise to do better today. Fruits with coffee isn't bad for breakfast.
02/12 - 156.8 lbs. Still 6 lbs more than from a few days ago. I could be starting my TOM. Drank lots of water yesterday. Weekly weigh-in is tomorrow
02/13 - 155.2 lbs. This extra weight that I gained after 3 days frustrates me. I don't know what to say.

@puddlegoober When I exercise, I drink at least an extra liter of water.
@leni1us Something similar to Crystal Light for your water? I believe if you make yourself drink plain water you will acquire a liking for it. I wasn’t crazy about it either but now I crave it when I don’t have enough.
@genaquino Hang in there! I think you are seeing false weight gain as a result of funeral food.4 -

02/13 139.20lb - this is on a new set of scales and I am weighing in a different floor now. Also had a dine in for two M&S Valentines meal last night with hubby as he's working away the rest of the week so not sure how much of the weight difference is due to a new set of scales or the meal and wine!! Doesn't really matter as its all relative to today's weigh in from now on - just hoping that my new set of scales will be as kind to me as the last We shall see over the next three days.....
My new scales were weighing about a pound and a half higher than my old ones when I first got them. Now they are about a half a pound. Once I bought them, my old ones starting working fine, so I'm back to them.2 -
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!
Goals this round - Maintain within half a pound of 147; eat mindfully; exercise when possible.

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....
02/13 - 147.2
...and up! No surprise, though. I ate out twice yesterday and had high-sodium foods, and I mindfully went over my calorie goal, so no biggie.

@leni1us I agree with @quiltingjaine - maybe just drink water for a few day and see if you like it better. Also, are you drinking tap water? The flavor of tap water varies depending on where you live. Water is pretty much all I drink aside from a couple cups of coffee and one cup of tea, but when we lived on the NC coast I could not drink the tap water - it tasted terrible. So we bought water. (We used distilled water for coffee & tea, too.) Other places I've lived I just drink the tap water, which tastes better iced. And not to be preachy, but maybe try not saying "I hate water" and shift to s. th. like "water is good for my body"? This is a mental game as much as physical.
@quiltingjaine Slow & steady, right? That's my story and I'm sticking to it!3 -

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 / 286.4 / Giving myself a cheat day for the Super bowl was a bad mistake. It took until today to correct the damage from salt intake, and I gained weight. Cheat days come at a huge cost.
02/08 / 284.4 / Wow. Guess it took until today to get rid of the salt!
02/09 / 284.2 / Keeping to the program, drinking a lot more water than 8 cups (never more than 12, no worries!)
02/10 / 282.8 / Yay! This is even with company over, and 5 oz of wine. Truth is, I really don’t want more wine. A glass is perfect.
02/11 / 280.8 / I really think this is just me getting my salt intake under control. I’m cooking my own food now and phasing out the “Atkins slurry” frozen dinners xD
02/12 / 281.4 / Salt intake way up. Yesterday was the fluke.
02/13 / 282 / Just riding this out. Still eating to plan.
