Round 28 start weight - 143.20
Round 29 start weight - 140.90
Round 30 start weight - 137.90
Round 31 start weight - 137.90

Loss to date - 13.5lbs
Avg loss per round - 1.5lbs

Goal for this round - minimum to lose the extra 0.50lb so my total loss since starting this will be a stone (only makes sense to those in the UK!) - ideally 137lb.

02/07 137.60lb - I think this is my lowest ever weight since I got married 17 years and three kids ago - the first of which was a honeymoon baby! So very happy with this for day 1 of this round. Lurgy just about gone now and felt like a really good PT session last night. No reason for it not to be a good day today too

02/08 136.70lb - 0.90lb down today - so goal reset for this round to 136lb. Never cease to be amazed how weight can vary from day to day. And I seem to have a really good round then it stabilises for a bit then I'm off again - But its all in the down direction at the minute. Weighing in daily has been a real eye opener for me

02/09 137.20lb - slightly up but was on target yesterday food and water wise and did a tough hours PT last night. So can only assume it was my carb heavier dinner (home made burgers and jacket wedges - yum!). Not upset - just a daily blip which seems to happen with me regularly but still down over a stone since November

02/10 137.80lb - slightly up for no reason I am really aware of - but happy with my weight at the minute and my progress - albeit slowed down slightly.

02/11 - didn't weigh - got a lay in this morning with a cup of tea in bed

02/12 - "ERR" - that was all I got this morning! Tried new batteries and got lots of flashing garbage on the screen and another "ERR" - so unless it is a personal insult directed at me I'm guessing my trusty old scales have given up. New ones ordered today so hopefully back to weighing in again tomorrow - although different scales can give a different reading so we will see. New scales also personalised to give Body Fat and BMI on screen so can track those measurements too - love a new gadget!

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.....

02/14 139.00lbs - down a tiny bit -which is all good as its down! Eating late tonight though - hubby away and youngest at a sleepover so out for a Valentines dinner tonight with my 15 year old when she finishes cheerleading at 930pm. Only going to Pizza Express so have allowed for the Leggera pizza and a small dessert in my daily calories and am going to try and get in a decent walk later weather depending......

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07: 156.0 Alright same starting weight as last round. Goal is to just lose something this week. Ran 3.4 miles yesterday and it felt GREAT! Finally feeling strong and healthy after a few weeks of illness. Fingers crossed healthy stays!

02/08: 155.0 Good drop! Now to keep it or see it go down further. Plan is to get exercise in today and lots of playing in the snow with my daughter!

02/09: 154.4 Weighing in late afternoon when I usually weigh in the morning. Not complaining! Finally some movement down. Hoping to have a solid weekend with physical activity/exercise!

02/10: 154.4 Glad to see this number again and not an increase. I was good last night even though I was having late night snack cravings. Planning on going sledding with the kids today and that hill is a serious workout!

02/11: 154.6 Ate just slightly over yesterday but still a deficit. It's mid day here and I've already cleaned my house and got in 30 minutes of arms/abs. Likely I will be lazy the rest of the day but we will see.

02/12: 154.8 Ha I was thinking I had lost this morning until I opened this up! My upper body is sore today and TOM is around the corner!

02/13: 154.4 Back to my lowest this round. Noticing the need to eat a bit more ahead of TOM. Last night was a struggle after dinner as I wanted to eat everything! I settled on going to bed!

02/14: 154.2 Ran 3 miles yesterday. Ate/drank almost all exercise calories back. Enjoyed a few alcoholic drinks with the hubs. Expecting TOM today so likely to mess up my 10 day ending weight. We will see... Happy Valentine's Day!

02/16

SWEET! Here's to hoping that the WHOOSH comes again this round. Now, I just need to remind myself that "You've always been BEAUTIFUL. Now you're just deciding to be HEALTHIER, FITTER, STRONGER, and FASTER.
Remember that."

OSW: 202
SW: 159
GW: Anything less than 159 this week.

2/7: 157.4 SAY WHAT NOW?! "The first step to getting anywhere is deciding to not stay where you are."
2/8: 157.4 I really do believe this number will come up. I just can't believe my eyes and think this number is real. I didn't mention it yesterday, but I was in a car accident on the way home from work Tuesday night. No one was hurt and my car wasn't damaged, but my back has been really sore. God waa watching over me for sure. "She believed she could, so she did."
2/9: 158.8 I ate healthy. I ate within my calories, but what I ate had a lot of sodium in it yesterday, and I did not take in as much fluids either. I need to rectify that today. "Don't quit."
2/10: 158.2 I ate well yesterday, but I did indulge in 2 pieces of cheese pizza. It was "National Pizza Day" as my son reminded me. I stayed within calories and my carb goal though. So, I call it a win. However, I was so BEYOND full off those 2 pizzas. I'm not used to that many carbs in one setting anymore. Whew! "Be the girl that decided to go for it."
2/11: 158 Date Night with the hubby last night!!!! I haven't had any 1:1 time with my husband in about a year. We went to dinner and the movies. Unfortunately, dinner was awful, but it left tons of calories for popcorn at the movies and a soda. YUM! "You have to get yourself up every morning, and tell yourself "I can do this."
2/12: 158.6 Bounce...Bounce...Bounce..."It's Monday. Let's make this week better than last week."
2/13: 158.2 Show me the 157 something again. I beg of you. I am over this 158 ride. Yesterday was a true Monday. Lol I survived it though, and I put in more steps than I have in a very long time. Here is to another day. Good luck everyone. You can do it. "I may not be the strongest. I may not be the fastest, but I'll be damned if I'm not trying my hardest."
2/14: 158.2 Happy Valentine's Day everyone. "Love yourself. Mind. Body. Spirit.

Another 10 days!! I started doing this challenge in Round 2...so this is my round 30...that will make 300 days of daily weighing and checking in by the end of this round (except for two trips I took where I didn't have access to a scale). For all the newbies...the fluctuations take some getting used to, but weighing daily starts to make you really aware about what affects your scale weight besides true gains/losses. Weighing weekly or less sometimes means you will miss your highs and lows and you also miss out on important trends.

SW - 182.4 - March 2017
Original GW - 145 - achieved in October 2017
New GW - 140

I was maintaining around 143 for a couple of months before Christmas and then things started creeping back up to 145. I'd like to get down to averaging 140.

02/06 - 144.8 - coming in from round 30...with a rolling 7 day average of 144.5

---

02/07 - 145.6 - finishing up TOM and haven't been great about keeping away from the carbs lately. I could totally just blame it on TOM but really I need to grab my water bottle and a piece of gum instead of shoving chocolate and bread in my pie hole....
02/08 - 146.6 - ARgh...no one to blame but me again. Did some baking to freeze for the kids lunches and did far too much sampling. Went to bed with crazy heartburn, haven't experienced that in ages so I learned my lesson.
02/09 - 144.2 - Yep...a low carb day can work wonders.
02/10 - 144.4 - So busy this weekend..just getting online now to post this morning's weight. Up early for hockey and didn't sleep well so that may explain the slight blip up, Kcals and activity were perfect yesterday.
02/11 - 143.4 - Up super early again for an away tournament...feeling very dehydrated, I'm keeping my water going in but this weather is sucking all of the moisture from my body!!
02/12 - 144.4 - hockey tournament days are hard for food...eating happens when and where it can in between games. Had way too many calories for lunch...but hardly ate anything for dinner...too much sodium for sure...
02/13 - 144.8 - made some poor choices food wise again yesterday...activity was good though...
02/14 - 144.6 - still hanging around in the 144's....Had a good day yesterday...pre-logged all my food and stuck to it. If I can keep doing that I'll get down to where I want to be.

Back Again

02/07.. 143.4 At goal for last round.. Yeah! Did an hour pool exercise yesterday. Today -? I don't know but something. Goal for this round is to lose another pound so 142.4 Getting back to it. Been experimenting making my own protein bars. They taste great and are high protein, low carb and costs less than my favorite Quest bars.
02/08...143.4 50 min on ellip which is probably why I'm the same even after 2 small egg rolls. Today, protein bars, salad and eggs ...no wine.. I'd Like to see a drop.
02/09..144.2 Why the increase? Don't know. Made some cheesy cauliflower breadsticks; perhaps the salt in the parmesan? Ate clean except for 2 small cookies. No wine. I guess it's just fluctuation.
02/10.. 144.2 no exercise to speak of and indulged - martini and some pumpkin pie. Glad it's not worse. Today, exercise and clean eating. Cold Saturday here.
02/11 143.8 Exercised in pool yesterday... felt so good and good to know I don't need a class to do it. Sunday love to all.
02/12... 143.8 No exercise yesterday but walking around at a craft fair & antique shop. Ate most calories by mid afternoon. Can I get to 142.4in the next 4 days? Let's try.
I believe in my ability to lose weight and keep it off.
02/13..143.4 Hey! I'm back where these 10 days started! 70 min ellip and lots of veggies.
I crave fresh and healthy foods.

02/14.. 143.6 As someone else said, my body seems to like this neighborhood. I've been here forever. Did another 70 on ellip yesterday and ate clean, with plenty of veggies, with no eating back calories earned exercising. Had a glass of wine so maybe the increase and lack of decrease has something to do with that. I really want to get out of the darn 140's.
