Round 3
MFP SW 210
R29 SW 189.2 EW 186.6
R30 SW 184.6 EW 182.6
I'd like to get to 180 this round.
02/07 183.6 I expected this, as I got a RED sodium warning when logging my food yesterday. I made some bad food choices for lunch and skipped dinner. I have to really work on eating out less. I take lunch to work and end up eating out anyway! Smh
02/08 182.6 Did cardio and weight training. Ate IN and stayed within my calories. Macros were pretty good also.
02/09 182.6 Feeling good. Still motivated to make good choices.
02/10 181.8 Yesterday was a hot mess. I was in a car accident. I wasn't hurt but was shaken up. Had coffee for breakfast, a lunch full of bad carbs, no dinner, and forget to log, so my streak is gone. But I'm glad I'm okay, and I'm thankful the scale was nice to me this morning!
2/11 182.4 I had vodka and pound cake.They were worth it!
2/12 182.4 Had a decent day that included an ER visit for muscle spasms. I didn't overeat, cooked and ate in, did a little ab work and 40 minutes of cardio at the gym even though I was exhausted. I was hoping to have a loss, but I'm thankful that I was able to push past the stress and make good choices. One day at a time…
2/13 182 I was sleepy after work bc I only slept 4 hours Sunday night, but I forced myself to the gym. I had a good jog and did arms, shoulders, a little abs, and a few squats. I ate back some of my calories, could've used more protein and water but had a good day overall.
2/14 181.8 I was mostly sedentary yesterday bc of work, and had no time to workout. I could've stood more water intake, ate dinner too late, but didn't give in to my sugar cravings.

Round 10 - bring it on!
Round 22 start weight - 151.40
Round 23 start weight - 145.80
Round 24 start weight - 147.60
Round 25 start weight - 141.60
Round 26 start weight - 141.90
Round 27 start weight - 146.20
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......

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!

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07- 133.6- finally bouncing back from Superbowl weekend
02/08- 134.0- regretting those girl scout cookies I had yesterday, but I'm entering water-retaining-time-of-the-month, so not an unexpected gain. Planning to have pizza tonight, but going for a run at lunch, so I will still stay within my calorie goal
02/09- 134.4- I'm starting to think I underestimated my lunch calories for the week. I've been eating leftover veggie lasagna made by someone else, so I have a feeling it has more calories than I'd like to think.
02/10- 134.2- Ate pretty well, was active around the house most of the day
02/11- 134.2- Ate okayyyy but went for a good run
02/12- 134.2- At least I didn't gain. Ready for a healthy week!
02/13- 135.0- I'm not too discouraged by this because I tend to retain a lot of water weight this time of the month. Hoping to be back down by Friday. I also ate ice cream every day over the weekend, so... maybe I can't actually do that and expect to lose weight
02/14- 134.4- Hoping to end up back where I started 10 days ago at this point

R31 - starting weight 153.3
Ultimate Goal: 143.5
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!). Went a little crazy on carbs today. There were sweets everywhere at work and starting a lent challenge on Wednesday I took advantage of it
2/14 :: - 155.6 - first day of lent and I'm going to keep my carbs low until it ends. Try to keep it around 20 - 30 net grams per day for the entire time!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/07 - 185.2 - Confirmed this weight at the gym.
02/08 - 186.4 - Expected this after training and big dinner yesterday.
02/09 - 185.4 - Training again today. Probably some hiking this weekend.
02/10 - 184.2 - Huh. I mean, yay but...weird.
02/11 - 183.4 - I mean I guess I've been working hard but I was in kind of a stall for a couple weeks so it's surprising to drop this much this week.
02/12 - 184.2 - Big lunch, lots of salt yesterday.
02/13 - 183.8 - Training is going well. We're working on upping weight now that she thinks I have good form and stability.
02/14 -184.8 - Big dinner, lots of walking.

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.
2/14 108.0 On the right track now but not breaking any records. Going to stay out of the office where the almond rocha is and have a nice dinner out tonight (not too much wine).
2/15
2/168 -
For all you wine lover's logging your Calories - most of the wine Calories in the data base are lower than actual due to the higher % ETOH in wine these days. Most wine's now have 13.5% alcohol (7 kcals per gram) which calculates to 27 kcals per oz.

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.
02/14 / 279.6 / Rode it out. I’m thankful for this group. I can see so many people at various levels of fitness and weight loss and I know now that this kind of thing happens to everyone, all the time. It is not that my body doesn’t know how to lose weight.

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.
02/14 = 210.6. This is the number I expected yesterday! Ate pretty well yesterday except for the TINY piece of cake my co-worker brought to share after lunch. She’s on Weight Watchers, and I’m sure she did not want to eat the whole thing, plus she’s really sweet… DAMN I LOVE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING! I felt like an addict getting their first taste after a period of abstinence. My whole day was great except for that cake. I THINK I made up for it; I tried to overestimate its calories, and ended up under my calorie goal overall. Tonight should actually be pretty healthy. I’m taking my wife out to our favorite sushi place (we usually don’t go out for V-Day at all, but rather save the celebration for the weekend). I’m still not changing my goal for this challenge. I’m still not changing my goal for this challenge. I’m still not changing my goal…

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!!
2/14 -130.0 - THIS IS MY ORIGINAL GOAL weight. Go me, thanks fitbit, MFP and ALL my friends. Run and elliptical last night, under calories.
