Day/Weight/Comment
02/17 /278.2 / Late Valentine’s Day. Totally worth it.
02/18 / 279.2 / I ate to plan yesterday. Even Valentine’s Day I didn’t go over calories, but I’m certain I did with sodium. Keep on swimmin!
02/19 / 277.8 / Couldn’t sleep last night. I’m not even remotely hungry.
02/20 / 277.8 / Still working my plan, but I am dissatisfied with my lack of progress.
02/21 / 277.4 / There it is.
02/22 / 277.4 / Still.
02/23 / 275.6 / That’s a whoosh.
02/24 / 276.2 / Ok. I’ll ride the pattern.
02/25 / 274.6 / Crazy. I eat the same every day, within 100 calories. Tracking it really is the power. I’m not fooling myself thinking I ate better than I really did, and it is completely normal for weight to fluctuate daily.
02/26 / 274.6 / I really enjoy this challenge. Thank you to whoever started this!7 -
@lilysillycat I’m not a diabetic nor a doctor but from familial experience, I think you should look at which carbs you are eating. When my aunt ate potatoes, her sugar went through the roof. Another diabetic friend could eat potatoes with no reaction at all. Different people, different results. Again I recommend the book by Jason Fung MD, The Obesity Code.
@puttyputty If you are exercising every day, some muscle group is always holding water to aid in recovery. Most exercise programs schedule in at least one rest day per week.
@DebCountsAll @cyranda63 was leading the pack when I joined last summer. Where are you, @cyranda63?1 -

MINI LECTURE TO SELF:
- 2-3 pound fluctuations in weight are NORMAL.
- Just because I started this round at last round's minimum, and ended it at last round's AVERAGE does not mean I stored a pound of fat or undid all that hard work........
- ...even though my end weight is indeed up one pound.
- Looking at the math, a pound is 3500 calories. Did I eat over by that? Nope.

I should be clear that it's more "I'm getting planned activity" in every day. I'm just making a conscious effort to be sure that I'm either getting a set number of steps or have a planned exercise. But that's a good reminder!4 -
Yesterday morning I posted that I was posting Round 33. I did it on my phone and have not be able to figure out how to get the link when I am using the phone. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. I usually do not get on my computer this early but wanted the link out here to avoid further confusion. The link to the page I set up is -

Original SW: 325.0
R31 SW: 272.0
R32 SW: 267.2
2/17 - 267.2
I don't weigh in on the weekends (use the scale at work), but I'll just use yesterday's weight as my starting point this round. Since I always seem to have issues on Fridays and Saturdays, I have decided to eat at a deficit Sunday through Thursday and then eat at maintenance on Fridays and Saturdays (if needed). This seems to have been working for me so far, and has made the process much more sustainable.
2/18 - 267.2
I feel like I'm finally starting to develop a healthier relationship with food. I had spaghetti & meatballs from Olive Garden today (1,120 calories total--ouch!), but I still managed to stick to my calorie goal for the day. Rather than eating it all at once, I divided it in half so that I got two meals out of it. This may seem like a no-brainer to some people, but it was always so difficult for me to do this in the past. I always felt like I needed large portions in order to be satisfied, but now that my body is adjusting, I'm finding that's no longer true!
2/19 - 268.2
I know that I stayed within my calorie budget this weekend (I'm very meticulous about weighing and measuring everything), so I'm going to chalk this up to water retension. Not thrilled that the weekend is over, but it's much easier for me to stay on track during the work week, so...I guess there's that.
2/20 - 266.6
That's more like it. I'm down exactly 20 pounds since January 1st, and down 58.4 pounds overall! Worked a cupcake into my calorie budget today, but I almost immediately regretted it. I'm not used to all that extra sugar anymore, and it made me feel kinda gross. Oh, well...lesson learned!
2/21- 266.6
No change today, but that's fine. I took the next two days off of work because tomorrow is my 40th birthday and I plan to have a 4-day meltdown. (Okay, not really.) Hubby offered to bake me a cake, and I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to take him up on the offer. Part of me remembers yesterday's cupcake debacle, but the other half is like, "Hey, it's your 40TH BIRTHDAY. Have some damn cake." We shall see!
2/22 - No Scale
Well, I'm officially 40 years old today. Had cake. Enjoyed it. Moving on.
2/23 - No Scale
Thanks to yesterday's excessive sugar intake, today I want to eat ALL. THE. THINGS. I'm keeping it in check, though.
2/24 - No Scale
Feels good to be eating at a deficit again after two days of eating at (or above) maintenance. I love that I finally feel like I have some semblance of control over my food intake, and that a couple of days of indulgence don't have to completely derail me.
2/25 - No Scale
Final day of a 4-day weekend. Have all of my food planned out for the day, so I should be set. I haven't had access to a scale since last Wednesday, so tomorrow will be the moment of truth.
2/26 - 269.8
Ugh! I know this gain is partially water weight, but it sucks to see it regardless. On to the next round...7 -
Female, 5'4"
Starting Weight: 135 lbs
Goal Weight: 115 lbs - Met in late 2017
I met my goal weight in late 2017. My new goal now is to stay around 115 average. Lately I've been ranging around 110-112 lbs. Since switching to a whole food plant based diet, I can't seem to stop losing weight, despite reintroducing alcohol into my diet. It's about the seemingly unimportant decisions. But consistently making them everyday is what leads to success.
Goal This Round: Maintain 115 lbs Average
02/17 • 110 • Ran 3.5 miles. 1550 cal. 3 servings of alcohol
02/18 • 110 • Played 3 sets of tennis. 1850 cal. 3 servings of alcohol

02/20 • 109 • Played 3 sets of tennis. 1600 cal. 4 servings of alcohol
02/21 • 111 • 1400 cal

02/21 139.8 gf chocolate cake fail, 6.3m run
02/22 140.2 more cake fail. 7.4 miles run. Tired and really hungry in morning..
02/23. No running till Sunday and I’m glad of the rest. It’s Friday!! Can I stay away from the chocolate cake at work today?? 139.2 - oh my goodness! But my daughter has just insisted I have toast for breakfast because Alexa says it’s National Toast Day...
02/24 140.0 - stressful day sorting mortgage and reorganising my tiny inadequate kitchen. Ate chocolate, wine, toast, kids sweets and a lot of nuts. Didn’t log a thing. Not even sorry.
02/25 138.4 - woohoo!!! Although that was after a fasted 14 mile run (marathon training) so it’s probably not completely accurate!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/17- 139.26 Good start.
02/18- 140.14 Normal fluctuation, but I was hoping not to see 140 again.
02/19- 140.14
02/20- 140.36 Sticking to the plan. I know my body will adjust back down soon.
02/21--- Forgot to weigh
02/22- 141.9 OK trying to stay positive but this is getting annoying. No reason for the numbers to keep going up.
02/23- 141.46 I'll take this small loss. Hopefully I continue to move in this direction.
02/24- 141.02 (weighed after lunch) Feels really good to be moving back down. I'm thinking this will be the first round for me that I end higher than my start.
02/25- 140.8 Went out for drinks last night and definitely went over on calories so I'm quite surprised at the loss.
02/26- 140.8 This has been a disappointing round for me. I'm hoping for much better results next round.

Ate under calories. If MFP weight calculator was right, which it isn't, I'd weigh 203.? Must be the sodium; I can tell I'm very sensitive to sodium!

Ummmm, this number looks familiar!

Round 32 (Round 2 for Me)
Goal: Get to 235 (-3.4 lbs.), 10,000 + Steps, Strength Tr., Eat within Calories, Lots of Water!
Day/Weight/Comment:
2/17: 239.6
+1.2 lbs. Ate perfectly except high in sodium, 10,206 steps. Not a great start, but I'm staying optimistic, I know weight fluctuates.
2/18: 238.6
-1 lb. Again, high in sodium, but I'm eating very clean today and drinking lots of water to make up for the last 2 days. 10,121 steps and 30 min. arms and abs.
2/19: 238.6
No change. Ate clean and within my goals but only walked 6,000 steps. I took my measurements and in 2 weeks I've lost 1 in. in my chest, waist, and hips. And 1/2 in. in my calves.
2/20: 238.8
+0.2 lbs. Ate within all my goals and 9,445 steps.
2/21: 238.4
-0.4 lbs. Surprised to see a loss. I was sitting down all day driving and at appointments doing paperwork. And I went out for lunch, drank about 1/ 2 the water I usually do (I drink about a gallon a day normally) and was 200 over in calories, and over in every goal.
2/22: 238.2
-0.2 lbs. 10,247 Steps, 30 min. arms and abs, perfect on calories
2/23: 238.8
+ 0.6 200 over in calories yesterday and started feeling sick, pretty sure I have the flu. So, I didn't post. I'm still tracking and will try to post this tomorrow. I'm feeling a little better today.
2/24: 241
+2.2 lbs. I was about 100 calories under yesterday, walked over 10,000 steps, and did a 30 min. lower body workout but my sodium was so high, 700mg. over.
2/25: 240.8
-0.2 lbs. I ate within my goals and only at 1,600mg sodium (trying to lower my intake) .
2/26:241
+0.2 Ate within goals and still at a lower sodium level. It's hard ending this challenge 1.4 pounds heavier but if I look at the big picture my lowest weight day was at 238.2. (1.4 pounds less than starting weight) I'm just hoping the gain is water weight from salt and/ or hormones. Still looking forward to the next round, I'm not giving up! Also, you guys are all awesome! I love reading everyone's posts and seeing all the positive comments, likes, hugs, etc.
