Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 = 161.6 Got in a 4-mi fast walk in the neighborhood yesterday and ate smart too. This is the lowest weight I’ve been since probably before children (28 years ago)! Headed to Florida at the end of this round, and I so want to be in the 150s by then. Fingers crossed!
2/28 = 161.6
3/1 = 162.4 Was in a car wreck on 2/27 and all I did yesterday was rest in the recliner. Ate ok, but exercise is so important for me to be able to lose weight. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get in a walk today.
3/2 = 161.8 Was able to walk on the treadmill after work yesterday.
3/3 = 160.8 Headed in the right direction!
3/4 = 159.6 This is SUCH a milestone for me! I don’t even remember being in the 150s since I met my husband in 1983. I just want this trend to continue!
3/5 = 159.6 Still SO happy to be in the 150s!
3/6 = 159.8 Fingers crossed that the trend line keeps going down. No bounce, please!

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.
3/5: 137.8 - bought a new sports bra and did a really good run (for me, lol). I’ve noticed this morning I am pretty sore and bit dehydrated, so my goal today is to drink lots of water.
3/6: 136.8

hello all. i am doing 7 week challenge at work now. only 2.5 weeks left. why not get motivation hear to. my goal is to win the challenge and the money. i guess under 200 would be nice. don't want to ever be less then 180 again. 1/19 weight 234.8
weight on the industrial pallet scale.
2/28 - 215lbs 347 calories in - 324 burned brisk walk = 23 net. I know I am an idiot but I felt good today
3/1 - I am sorry I didn't know my posts would show up last on the list. hope I didn't mess up your post. wont happen again. 213lbs today and plan on 1000 calories by the end of the day.
3/2 - 213 again. eat all the foods on my list all day long and dinner lasted until I couldn't fit any more food in me. feel great but was a little shy of my 1000 calories. no access to scale until Monday.
3/3 - 211lbs - 18oz whiskey last night. must be dehydrated a little. managed to reach 1900 calories but 1200 were alcohol.
3/5 - 209lbs today - planned binge weekend. 2 weeks left in competition and I wanted to be relaxed and ready. now its time to step it up. I am adding at least an hour of brisk walking a day. also we are picking up a stationary bike today. if I have the willpower I do not plan on any alcohol till this is over. calorie goal is 500 a day but i wont be mad at myself for a day 1000. lets see what this old body can handle.
3/6 - bobbled on 207 then settled on 208. I guess that's not bad since I had a monster snack after a 90 minute workout. 12oz ground beef topped with mustard at 8pm. it did bring me up to 1000 calories so big food day for me. hopefully I can keep up a pound a day till march 19. no alcohol so almost no sleep

Round 32: SW 240.6; EW 241.6
Round 33: SW 241.6
Round 33
2/27 / 241.6 / Ate under calories, but it was pretty heavy on rice, which has been known to make me retain some water. My ring isn't tight now, though, which it was for most of the last round. Still getting some activity in every day. No longer have any digestive aggravation.
2/28 / 241.4 / Down a tiny bit. Ate under calories. Activity good. My ring is tight again. This is dumb.
3/1 / 240.6 / I'm working from home today, so my weigh-in was 1.5 hours later than normal. Still, I'll take the loss! Ate under calories. Activity good. My ring is a little snug but not as bad as it has been. I have a lot to do today, work-wise, so I'll have to be mindful that I get up and stretch and move around at times. I have a tendency to get so involved in what I'm doing that I don't move.
3/2 / 240.6 / Late weigh-in again. Ate a smidge under calories and got my activity in. My ring feels back to normal. Same deal as yesterday with needing to MOVE during the day instead of growing roots! There is a howling wind outside which has me weirdly jumpy.
3/3 / 238.8 / Woot! Late weigh-in because of the weekend. Squeaked in under calories. Hit my steps goal.
3/4 / 238.6 / Still creeping downward. I ate a ton of fries yesterday that forced me to exercise for a loooong time, but it was worth it.
3/5 / 239.2 / Normal fluctuation after two days of drops. My exercise was more intense yesterday, and more clustered. I'm a little sore across my shoulders today.
3/6 / 239.8 / A little unexpected, but I know it will come down again. I think that's the nicest thing about a good eating/tracking/exercise routine. You know it will come down again!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/27.. 142.4 Not sure about this drop. 45 min on ellip yesterday. Hopefully gym today. Got my car back!
2/28... 142.6 Got to gym yesterday. This slight gain might be water in muscles. Gonna fix me a stir fry orggie curry today. Haha, meant veggies. It will be an orgie of veggies. Have a great hump day.
3/1...143.4 Grrrrr I let a family situation get to me and had a few glasses of wine. Is that why? 50 on ellip again.
3/2143.4... Took a lovely 45 minute stroll in the drizzle yesterday. Ate decent but no enchilada on the weight loss.
3/3..142.6 This is a surprise as I ate ham for dinner and expected water gain. The ham was great and so is the drop.
Happy Saturday to all.Enjoy your day. Do something just for you.
3/4..143.4 Had great workout yesterday at gym. It felt so good to challenge myself. More ham. It's so good. Today, salad and chicken breast. Elliptical or pool workout. half way through and haven't lost. gained. blah.
3/5..143.4 Well at least I'm not gaining! Did 50 on ellip and so-so on food. Nothing extreme but some processed stuff. Today: gym.
3/6..143.4.. Same despite long workout yesterday and clean eating. Getting discouraged here.

Here we go again! I had a rough round last time...who am I kidding?!?!...I had a rough February, my least favourite month....between the blahs and the crazy hormone swings I truly believe that coming in to check in here every day is what kept me from going completely off the rails. March is just around the corner which gives me hope that I'll be able to get out running on the trails again soon once the snow and ice are gone and I won't be stuck working out in the basement.
SW - 182.4 - March 2017
Original GW - 145 - hit this in October 2017 and maintained around 143 up to Januaryish
New GW - 140 or below...I know I can do it!!
2/26 - 147.6 - this is the highest I've been in ages and I know it stems from poor food choices and some whacky peri-menopausal hormone water retention
Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 - 145.6 - literally flushed away 2lbs of water weight yesterday LOL...I logged every bit of food I put in my mouth and got in a good walk with the dog and a kettlebell workout...was a great day and really motivating to feel in control of things.
2/28 - 143.0 - continued "flushing" yesterday...GOODBYE FEBRUARY!!! I'm moving onwards and downwards!!!
3/1 - 143.2 - no more flushing...now we get down to business. NSV yesterday...on a whim I tried on a pair of size 6 jeans because they didn't have and 8...and they FIT!!! Had to buy them, at least they were from the clearance rack so double score
3/2 - 143.0 - feeling great about this week so far...in control and motivated.
3/3 - 142.6 - worked a cocktail and some wine into my calorie deficit last night...smaller deficit but still on track...I don't need these last few pounds off quickly so I think enjoying some reasonable treats on the weekend is a great reward for sticking to the plan through the week.
3/4 - 143.4 - TOM arrived....more horormones
3/5 - 146.2 - weighed in the morning...totally didn't get online to check in here
3/6 - 145.4 - TOM bounce heading back down...I'll also own that I haven't been doing great with the sweet and salty cravings, moving on...

Goal Round 33: 231
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!
3/4 – 230 before breakfast. Not surprised and glad I got the gain out of the way!
3/5 – 229.6 this morning. Gotta try to get water in today. It’s just a struggle!
3/6 – 229.6 again. 12 hour work day which is not typical so I’ll have to be very mindful of what I eat and not give in to a fast food quick fix!

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 Training10 -

2/28 - 130.2 - kinda meh I confess people! over calories again, planned rest day due to other priorities. Here is to a better day today, even if it did start with a muffin
3/1 - 130.0 - under calories yesterday and a strong workout. Let's MARCH friends!
3/2 - 129.4 - under calories yesterday, got 7500 steps and 8 floors but no organized workout. 5 minutes of planks already today tho!
3/3 - 129.0 - back to lowest weight, under calories yesterday, modest workout and hit step goal.
3/4 - 128.4 - new low which likely means, dehydrated! over calories by a bit yesterday, not feeling great so no workout. Headache today ... such is life ... patience. Breathing.
3/5 - 129.2 - just at calories to lose .5/week yesterday, started A Workout Routine which is a simple beginner's weight training, I CAN DO BOY STYLE PUSHUPS AGAIN I discovered. Those planks paid off!

2/28 / 273.6 /
3/01 / 273.4 / Raining today. I love rain.
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.
3/04 / 274.6 / Back at it. I have my water ready to go after two days of uneven consumption.
3/05 / 273.6 / Working the plan, no weddings or birthdays on the horizon.
3/06 / 273.6 / Working the plan, plus upped my walking game. My ankles are not happy but I am!

Round 1 for me (Round 33): 202.8
I am hoping this keeps me focused as I am three weeks into my new Keto lifestyle and loving it so far.
2/27: 202.8
2/28: 202 I was shocked that I would have gone down at all -
Struggling to get into any consistent workout routine. I have the Aaptiv app but making time for it. Today I plan to take a walk during my lunch hour if only to get in a 20 minute walk
3/1: 202 - this makes sense I didn’t go walking at lunch too much snow. Skipped the treadmill this am because I’m fighting a stomach bug. I’ll just keep logging and making good food choices. I can do this!
3/2: 201.8 - I never ended up working out yesterday so this doesn’t surprise me and I am fine with it going slow. I did get on the treadmill bright and early before work today. It felt great and I think next week I will get back into my routine. I know this weekend will be filled with skiing with the kiddos.
3/3: 200,4 - this is great news but I’m surprised since I had alcohol the night before. I’m feeling a bit dehydrated so this might be all it is. Took a long walk today got more than my steps in which is great. We will see if this holds for tomorrow.
3 / 4: 199.8 - can’t be more excited about this. Breaking the 200 barrier is fab! Headed out skiing with the family. Today starts week 4 of my new Keto lifestyle and so far so good!
3 /5: 200.4 So I didn’t get to ski yesterday my husband forgot mine so I watched the boys sled. First day I didn’t log my food in three weeks. Not worried as this is pretty normal little bump. I lost two pounds in a week which is already great! I’m shocked his challenge is almost done...
3/6 - 198.8 - worked out yesterday morning and then took a walk for lunch. I’m surprised and a bit skeptical this will stick. We will see - home with a sick kid today so unlikely I’ll workout.

Goal: Release 2 lbs per round to reach onederland by Memorial Day weekend.
Ultimate Goal: 175 lbs, reevaluate at that point
February
27: 215.8... I'm glad for sustaining this, even if it's only been for 2 days in a row. I've now lost 15 pounds since Christmas, and half of that since starting this challenge. Food, exercise, and water were good yesterday. Today I drove past 4 gas stations that have espresso/latte machines. I love the drinks, and they aren't high in calories or carbs as long as I skip the extra flavoring. Coffee at home is cheaper and healthier though. Each station that I passed, I told myself to just hold off and if I really wanted a latte I could wait until the next station. I made the 40 mile drive without stopping and made my bulletproof coffee as soon as I got home.
28: 215.7... I'll take it! Walked for over an hour yesterday. It was 54°F, which is crazy for February in Wisconsin! I'm glad I got to get out and enjoy it. Water, food, and sodium all good.
March
1: 215.3... Slow & steady. All good yesterday, and prelogged for today. I have an old college friend visiting, so I'm not sure I'll get much exercise in.
2: 215.6... Normal fluctuation. I was a little low on my 100oz water goal, but I did find time to get a solid walk in while my daughter was in gymnastics.
3: I forgot to check in this day! Weight was 216.4. Not sure about the increase, but not concerned after the March 4th weigh in.
4: 214.5... Yesterday was a rest day. I unintentionally ate 1300+ calories instead of 1680 plus had an extra deficit according to my Fitbit activity adjustment.
5: 214.8... Normal fluctuation, I think. I switched my MFP weekly weight loss goal from 1 pound to 1.5, and my calories dropped from 1680 to 1400. Today is my second day with this. I'll try it for a week or so, and change it back if it feels off.
6: 213.5...Whoosh! There it is!

3/6 204 So, I am trying the 16:8 Just to see how I would feel. Did it yesterday, kept my same calories, and it was ok... kept me from snacking all night. We'll see....
I do 16:8 too. I wasn't sure for the first few days, but after the initial adjustment I feel so much better eating this way. Good luck!

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
2/27 • 112 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1300 cal
2/28 • 111 • Ran 3.5 miles. 1350 cal

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!!
3/4 ~ 150.9 ... 19,270 steps and 1685 calories. Working for a few hours today then headed to the spa!! SO is on his way home after working away for more than 2 months. (so happy) I couldn't get much time off work but managed to wrangle 5 days. We are looking at going away
3/5 ~ 149.9 ... 17,876 steps and 1640 calories. Went to the SPA so nice, but was impatient and screwed up my pedi. Oh well it still looks better then I could have done myself. Back at goal but am going away on Thursday and those numbers will go back up, not worried.
3/6 ~ 149.1 ... Yup back at goal, just in time to climb back up. I know most of it is water weight but it just takes so many more days to get out of my system then to put it on. 18,152 steps and 1507 calories. (1) more day of work!

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.
3/4 = 210.6 (+4.0!!!!) The curse of changing my challenge goal returns! I have no words for this. I'm pretty sure I didn't even eat 4 pounds of food yesterday. I get that it was a bad day eating; I was about 1200 calories over maintenance. I also know that I revisited a couple of bad habits that I needed to be reminded of. I'm sure this number will get down in the next couple of days, but SHEESH. I made a decision about my knee that I hope will help (it has in the past), because it HURTS. Meals are all planned for today, and I'll be under my calorie goal.
3/5 = 209 (-1.6). I should be pretty much back to normal by Thursday, but my recent 4-pound gain in one day is a major reminder of how every meal counts. 4-6 pound gains used to be common weekend occurrences for me, but I've been getting through weekends staying even for the most part. This was a good remember that going back to old habits really isn't an option anymore. Yesterday's eating was under control and right on the mark regarding calories.
3/6 = 209 (no change). I got tricked into a bad lunch yesterday by a co-worker (fatty salt bomb), and spent the rest of the day trying to offset it. Drank a ton of water, ate well for dinner, and ended the day at "even." NSV. Still hoping to drop some off my weekend weight in the next couple of days. Going to the gym tonight to lift weights. I AM going to do some HIIT tonight as well, even if I don't want to.
