Day/Weight/Comment

2/27 = 208.2 (-1.4). This is my expected next day weight drop after basketball. A couple of things - my reconstructed knee hurts. I lifted weights last night, but not at my normal gym, and I didn't get the workout I usually do. I knew it as it was happening; my knee hurt. Basketball was just okay. I felt old, and a little broken, even though I still played relatively well. It was still okay, but I REALLY need to get my workout in, and have that workout IN A WAY THAT WORKS FOR ME. Eating was good yesterday. Two days off before basketball happens again. I might need to consider skipping it at least once, depending on how I'm feeling. I hope my knee feels better.

2/28 = 208.6 (+0.4). Had a planned cheat MEAL (not day) for lunch yesterday, and it was GLORIOUS - Nashville hot chicken sandwich from a place here in LA that never has less than a 2-hour wait (I got a hook-up). I ate accordingly to offset my indulgence (salmon and vegetables for dinner), so a small weight gain here is not an issue. My knee feels better this morning, which is a welcome relief with basketball coming tomorrow night. I should have a decent day calorie-wise, though I know I'll be a bit over in Na+.

3/1 = 207.4 (-1.2). Ate well yesterday, got a bit of a whoosh. This is the time I need to remind myself to stay on track. Don't get too excited. It's okay to be happy, but don't let it make me complacent. I have basketball tonight (I think) and lifting weights at the gym (definitely), so today can be a another great day. I have everything up until dinner pre-planned, and dinner (after basketball) will be light. Need to remember to drink extra water early on this exercise day, and to make sure to get the workout I want at the gym tonight.

3/2 = 206.4 (-1.0). Expected loss after basketball, and a new low. I have to acknowledge something. I've been trying to ignore the fact that my knee has been feeling like crap, and that I'm noticing it getting worse. I haven't slowed down at all yet exercise/basketball-wise, but I'm afraid that I probably should, at least in the short-term. Good day of eating yesterday. Drank plenty of water. Feeling depressed with this rain, and about my knee.

3/3 = 206.6 (+0.2). Tiny gain is not a problem. Ate moderately well yesterday. Had a couple of sweet things, but I did it in moderation. I'm going to the gym today, and I'm going to hyper-focus on getting my bad leg (knee) strong. I am NOT giving up any of my basketball yet, except maybe one day this week (none scheduled today, maybe skip Monday). Trying to fight through this little lull/depression and stay motivated. At least I'm having a great round regarding my weight. It helps, and I needed this. Modifying my challenge goal slightly to stay motivated.

Start of R6 177.1
End of R29 153.1
End of R30 154
End of R31 150.5
End of R32 155.9

2/27 ~ 155.4 Down a little, but am expecting a whoosh soon. Under cut my calories yesterday, that was ok as I think I was still full from the weekend. 16,400 steps 1235 calories.
2/28 ~ 157.6 ... Life! Ate too much and moved not enough. Plus some high sodium foods. Spent some quaility time with my youngest. Hope to spend the next few days back at it, although SO gets to come home in the next week or so and we may go away!!! So excited. 11,627 steps and 2382 calories (best estimate) Egg white omlete for dinner?? Oh no!! I also have a dr appointment during my lunch walk, these numbers look like they may be a slow downward climb. Not worried.

As a bonus I found 10 bucks on my lunch walk yesterday, this exercise thing is starting to pay off!!
3/1 ~ 156.1 ... Hooray it's March!! 15,755 steps and 1291 calories. Cutting down to 1200's due to my weekend indulgence. Coming down very very slowly. Have a measurment day coming up and sad this bloat will may still be on.
3/2 ~ 155 ... 17,001 steps 1554 calories. Slowly going back down. So quick to rocket up, but so darn slow to get back down.

3/3 ~ 151.6 ...14,267 steps 1507 calories. Ah back to almost where I was a week ago. Working this weekend so no long hike or walk. Looks like most are killing it on their losses. WTG, Have a great weekend!!

@KayHBE I think it might have been my scales playing up! Yes, I’ve been a runner for nearly eight years now, but did very little last year due to injury. Just starting to train properly again since January. Xx

@commit1440 this morning I got up. weighed, made coffee and drank a cup while I started to read messages. I’m not one who naps but could not keep my eyes opened. Slept about 3 hours until phone rang! Got up, went to the bathroom again and re-weighed. Weighed the same as earlier. Your body continues to process even though you are asleep.

I just put new batteries in last week! I took a 3 hour nap after I wrote this and before I posted! I knew I was tired. Damn the phone for ringing and waking me up!

Well I'm starting this round with my best intentions. I am up about 6 lbs from my recent lowest weight and I am not enjoying the way my clothes have been fitting. I did show up for the last round, but mentally my eating patterns have been self destructive/ that little voice in my head has been giving me permission to overeat and make excessive food choices

Gotta get back on it.

Our 10-day drive from Oregon to Indiana via the Southwest followed by more time in a motel and eating out plus beginning the search for a house has made me want comfort food & junk I haven't eaten in 3 years. This round I'm trying to just be aware, and when I do eat stuff I don't normally touch, to acknowledge why I'm doing it. If I can finish this round no more than 2 pounds over by last weigh in, that will be fine. Better will be to finish where I was -- 146.8 at the end of R31. Then back to actually paying attention & losing.

Goals this round - Replace my scale, and finish round no higher than my last weigh in of 146.8.

2/27 - no scale
Haven't replaced my sale yet, still living in motel because our stuff hasn't arrived. Sigh. Trying to eat properly. No idea about my weight, but I did buy size 10 jeans tonight, so there's that!

2/28 - no scale
See yesterday (without the jeans).

3/1 - no scale
I'm finding myself wanting to eat junk I haven't bothered with in 3 years. Still in the motel, movers apparently aiming for the last day of their delivery window. Sigh. I'm going to try at least to get a scale tomorrow to I can see how much damage I've done over the past 13 days.

3/2 - no scale
I didn't get to the scale store

but I ate better today, and burned a bunch of calories driving around for hours (house hunting). Still in the motel, but the mover will finally be here Tues. and I can get back to my usual programming.

3/3 - no scale
Same old, same old. I did get some exercise. Other than driving - we went walking in a park this morning and this afternoon we walked all over the home & garden show. I'm eating within bounds, though not as healthy as I usually do. Three more nights in the motel, and then we can get back to normal. It's been a long 15 days.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 – 232.6 before breakfast. Super motivated yesterday so I’m looking to continue that!

2/28 – 231.6 this morning. Started to overeat yesterday and then stopped myself and took a long walk. I eat my way through every emotion so the walk was a healthy distraction. The smart part of me knows that I do that so at least the recognition is there. Half the battle, right?

3/1 – 230.6

3/2 – 230.2 before breakfast. I am so proud of this loss!! All day yesterday I walked past candy and cookies and was barely even tempted. I know that eventually I will reach a point where I can eat one and stop but I’m not there yet. For this moment, it feels really good to be in control – I own every bit of that .4 loss!

3/3 - 228.8 this morning. Wow - was not expecting that. Ate out last night and didn't watch as closely as I should have. Usually takes 2 days for the change to show so we'll see what tomorrow brings!

If a client has come to me looking to lose 10 pounds, I would tell them to simply move. Move more and more often. Walk or bike ride to class or work, even park further away from your location in the parking lot. Take the stairs or take a walk during lunch. You don’t have to spend hours every day in the gym sweating, but you do have to make a conscious effort to move more, and sit less. This works great because it doesn’t feel like work and you’re burning more and more calories throughout the day. — Ajia Cherry, personal trainer and Founder at Functional Innovative Training

3/02 / 273.6 / Ate out yesterday, saved half for dinner. Logged all the items (simple ingredients) but I think the sodium caused a small increase. No worries. Under calories.
3/03 / 275.0 / So. Yesterday I did not drink water. I’ve been drinking in excess of 96 ounces per day the past two weeks, and I just stopped cold turkey. I woke up at 5am with the worst hangover-type headache so I immediately drank about 40 oz. Then I had coffee, and then I weighed in. Also went to a wedding today and accurately counting my calories will be impossible, though I stuck to only salad and meat. We’ll see what happens.

Second round. Determined to push it hard!

Sw-210 (original starting weight 250)
Gw- 140
Goal weight this round- 200

R32: End weight- 209.8

Day/Weight/Comment
2/27- 206 did over 16k steps and have started a new healthy eating regime. Preprepped every meal for the week. Let’s see how it goes.
2/28- 208.2 I didn’t eat my prepped meal for lunch. Went for sushi with a friend. Nervous to see how this will effect the scale. So now I see I gained again. Really disappointed in myself and might have to step back for meeting friends for meals completely.
3/1- 207.2 struggled with motivation today and then ate a bunch Of Girl Scout cookies at a friends house. Made myself work out again after I got home at 1am to work the cookies off.
3/2- 207.4. Exercised. Met a friend for lunch. Made a good decision and got a salad. Met an ex for dinner. And we had ramen, but it was pretty healthy. However then we made cookies and I enjoyed them. Nearly overate though because I realized I missed him. Also realized the prepped meals I made are not tasty or a real long term solution, so need to rethink eating habits.
3/3- 210. Was embarrassed to post this. Feel ashamed of myself for not being able to commit to eating better. I keep emotionally eating. Seeing my ex brought back all the old feelings and I’m really struggling now.

25/02: 172.6 Holiday gain! No scale available and a week of the high life had consequences. Travelling all day yesterday, so poor hydration and high sodium in food will have pushed this up due to water retention.

SW: 90kg | GW: 57-59kg

Daily Goals: Average 1300 calories | 2L water

R32 EW: 64.2kg

02/27 - 63.3kg (-0.8kg)- Major whoosh overnight.
I guess it's to be expected after a heavy weekend. Considering changing my GW for this round but also know it's gonna be TOM so not sure. Calories and water on target yesterday. Plus I invented an amazing new low-cal, high-protein, DELICIOUS choc orange puddingy thing for dessert

02/28 - 62.8kg (-0.5kg) - Wow, another whoosh.
I've got the cold so maybe it's dehydration? Or maybe the hard work I never saw the result of last round is finally kicking in... Fingers crossed for the second. Already past my goal weight for this round and only 300g off my revised goal!
03/01 - 62.9kg (+0.1) - YES! The loss is holding.
Tiny bump but whatever. I meal prepped on Sunday and took all my food to work. Then the snow came and now I'm working from home so all my good food is sitting 15 miles away in a communal fridge! Going to face the blizzard today to get some healthy stuff to avoid the trash my partner keeps in the house. Yesterday was hard work without my planned meals - I don't know how people manage to stay within their calories without prepping and planning!
03/02 - 62.5kg (-0.5kg) - Down down down!
Really feeling like I am making progress which is great. This is the lightest I've been in my adult life AND the closest I've been to goal weight, only 3.5kg to go. These 10 day challenges are amazing to keep focused, thank you all so much! Revising my goal weight for the round again. Looking forward to a big salty dinner tonight so not expecting the scale to be pretty tomorrow!
03/03 - 62.8kg (+0.3kg) - Expected bump, happy to still be under 63kg. Had a treat dinner and a couple of wines last night. Very enjoyable

plus I closed off my diary on a Friday for the first time in... well, maybe ever haha. Winning.

03/04 - 63.5kg (+0.7kg) - It's a pizza and samosa baby!
I had a bit of a blow out late last night after the pub (oops) and was NOT looking forward to the scale this morning. Carbs and salt, that's all it is. TOM arrived as well. Happy though that my weekend high is still lower than my EW for last round

Back on the wagon today and will be working hard to finish the round at about 62.5kg.

R31 SW 183.6
R32 SW 182.2 EW 179.8

02/27 181.0 Expected! Ate way over calories yesterday, no workout, and had a strawberry mojito! Back to the grind today. Ready to be out of the 180s for good!

02/28 180.4 Jogged 3 miles, chest, triceps, and abs. Was slightly under calories and drank 8 cups of water. I love water, but I find it difficult to drink more than 8 cups throughout the day. Working on it!

03/01 178.8 Slightly under calories. Light cardio and upper body workout.

03/02 176.2 Interesting. I did intervals on the treadmill and legs last night and ate back some of the calories.

03/03 176.4 Rest day. Logged everything and ate all of my calories.

03/04 175.6 Jogged 5K at the park as practice for my first official 5K next Saturday. It was a struggle, but I made it. Didn't quite meet calorie goal. I'm noticing a pattern of 2-3 weeks of slow losses followed by a week of a big loss. I can dig it!

GW: 130.0

Goal for this round: diet break/maintenance 3/1-3/14

2/27: 135.8 - so I’m planning my second diet break this week. I’ve been waiting 12 weeks for this and I’m so excited. I really think it will help renew and recharge me.
2/28: 136.0 - great day yesterday: did day 2 of couch to 5k without stopping, felt really good, then ate a huge salty dinner within my calorie goal

3/1: 136.2 - day 1 of diet break. I’m honestly not sure how many calories to shoot for. Should be interesting!
3/2: 136.6 - finished week 1 of couch to 5k. Felt great at the time but I’m a little sore this morning. I’m still worried I’m overeating but I guess time will tell.
3/3: 136.0 - fish fry/rest day yesterday. Went over my made up maintenance by 400. Oops?
3/4: 137.8 - idk what’s happening with my weight. I’m starting to think weighing daily during a diet break isn’t a good idea. I might skip round 34. Anyway, yesterday I did a little yoga, and then went with husband and kids to a tour of our local Major League Baseball stadium. It was really cool and we got to go on the field and into the dugout! Then we had a yummy and highly caloric dinner at Burger Fi! Great day.
