R31 end weight 146.8 (+/-0) = goal for round
R32 end weight unknown - traveling, no scale
R33 end weight 149.1 (after traveling/eating out for 3 weeks!)

3/9 - 149.8
Okie dokie. I am eating better day by day as we get almost settled in, but still a lot of restaurant food, so sodium.

3/10 - 150.2
Sigh. But still eating out (we'll get to the grocery one of these days! House hunting has been all-consuming). I am mostly watching what I order better, but we had Italian last night and I always retain water after to many carbs. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

3/11 - 149.6
That's better. Feeling much more in control.

3/12 - 150.2
Gaaa. I did not overeat yesterday, but I think this is still sodium, and will be for another few days. I'm trying to remain calm about it, and see the past 3 weeks and (probably) the next as a metabolism reset pending eating & exercise getting back to normal. My clothes still fit!

3/13 - 150.4
Right. I've eaten fewer calories the past couple of days and I'm up a little. Delayed reaction? I dunno. Not happy but not panicking yet. Sigh.

3/14 - 151.6
Whaaaaa??? Makes no sense unless very delayed reaction. Oh, well. Today's our 26th wedding anniversary, so I'm eating whatever I want. Then back at it.

Guys, I'll be honest... I have joined 3-4 rounds and never completed one. I maybe posted two days last round and stopped because I got sick. But I am going to complete this round. I will!! I'm tired of bouncing back and forth with my weight. I want to see a steady decrease. I want to be better. My son is 15 months old and I want to be able to set a better example for him when it comes to health. I can do it. I will do it!

SW: 228lbs
GW: 224lbs
Ultimate GW: 175lbs

3/9 - 225lbs - Yay! I like that as a start. It might be back up tomorrow, though. My dad came to visit us and we went out to dinner to a place that had a very limited menu. I got a chicken sandwich, but didn't realize it was fried until it came out... I cut it in half, though, and substitutes fries for veggies!

3/10 - 226lbs. Yep. Not at all surprised thanks to last night's dinner. But I've done well today, so hopefully that'll reflect in tomorrow's number.

3/11 - 224.4lbs. Alright! Back down! I'm happy to see that. I keep looking through these before and after transformation photos and all I can think is I really want to be able to share my own some day... Just gotta keep working at it!

3/12 - 225lbs. I wasn't totally on track yesterday, so that's not a surprise. I just need to do better. More consistent.

3/13 - 223.8lbs. Woo, back down! I wasn't totally on my game diet wise today, but I did take a long walk so I got a fair amount of steps.

3/14 - 226lbs. I didn't want to report this. I really thought about leaving it alone. But I am on this journey to be open and honest with my health, so here we are. I overate yesterday. For sure. This isn't a surprising number. But today I resisted the temptation to go out and buy snacks so that I could overeat more. Instead, I stayed home and cooked chicken breasts and asparagus.

AND you're still here logging and finishing the round. I'd say you're winning. The water weight from over eating yesterday will pass. Great work staying accountable

@amybkatherine

This was the moment that you turned the corner. We all have them at some point, not wanting to admit when we have a bad day. Being able to report that bad day, rather than keeping in inside and letting it fester, is how you get through this. The road to health and fitness is not a straight line. Being accountable on a daily basis can be your guide, though.

Congratulations! This is a big deal.

itiireae · March 2018

In for my 3rd round!

MFP SW - 58.4 kg
UGW - 50 or a bit less

R32 SW - 55.7
R33 SW - 54.3
R34 SW - 53.8 R34 GW - 53.3

And my daily goal is to drink more water. It seems impossible, right, but I surely can do it!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/9 - 53.8 - daily goal: shamefully failed. I simply forgot that I need to drink something else than just a few little cups of tea... On the bright side, I made a wonderful pizza! It was quite delicious!
3/10 - 53.8 - daily goal: failed, again.
3/11 - 53.7 - Yay! Daily goal: well, I drank something... And, awww, thank you for your hugs! That's so sweet of you, gals and guys! ❤
3/12 - 53.6 - Double yay! Daily goal: not bad! Drank about 500 ml of water and some wonderful herbal tea.
3/13 - 53.7 - No yays for me today, though! Daily goal: let's say completed. BUT I felt depressed again and so slightly overate.

Ugh, life can be so sad!
3/14 - 53.4 - Well. I woke up late, and I had a stressful morning, and I had been drinking plenty of water recently, so that's not a miracle, but the natural order of things, right? Anyhow, daily goal: completed. And I felt better! Yes, there're some issues concerning writing my thesis (bad things, actually), and minor health problems, and so on, but the day was rather calm and short, and I wasn't—surprisingly—affected very much by the upsetting side of it. And I did not overeat! Victory!

UGW: 60kgs (Timeframe: by 30 April 2018)

Back for my 4th round and 3 kgs down. Looking forward to getting in my 64’s by the end of this round.

Day/Weight/Comment

3/9 – 66kgs. Up today from 65.7kgs. Not sure why when I ate within my macro/calories yesterday, lifted and did C25K. Im thinking it might be from the frozen meal I had last night for dinner which contained a lot of sodium? Oh well I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing, and hopefully the weight will fall off still.

3/10 – did not weigh in, but I know I would be a lot heavier due to eating out Friday night! The food was amazing though

3/11 – 66.6kgs. Imagined what I would have been yesterday if I’m still bloated today…

3/12 – 66kgs. Coming back down, but still gotta aim to lose 1.3kgs in 6 days.

3/13 – 65.2kgs . Yes! The bloat is gone!. 500 grams to go.

3/14 – 65.2kgs. I’ve increased my macros/calories from today to accommodate how much I’m exercising. Hopefully that doesn’t slow down my weight loss though!

3/15 – 64.6kgs. Yes! Exceeded round goal by 100grams. So excited. I’m finally in my healthy weight range. It has been so long. New goal for end of this round: 64.4kgs.

Thank you both for your encouragement. It really does mean a lot. It's hard being honest when I struggle, but I know that the honest serves me better than letting it fester. I'm really trying to break out of that cycle.

Maybe high sodium content in what you're eating = water retention. Are you drinking enough water to flush your system? Also, muscles retain water as part of recovery.

I was thinking it was sodium too but I've been looking through my diary and sodium intake is actually very low. I don't tend to eat much processed food so my diet is generally quite clean!

Didn't know about the muscles retaining water, guess that is a possibility... Hit the gym hard on Sunday and have pushed hard with my running this week... Guess it's one of those things! Just have to keep the head up and keep looking forward!

(all waterweight But I'll take every victory I can!
R34 SW 97.1 GW 96.5kg

3/9 - 97.1kg -2 glasses of wine, 2 biscuits and some sweets... Yesterday was a bad day-toddler on complete meltdown toddler mode from 8am to 7pm! Hasn't shown on the scale but I'm sure it'll bite me tomorrow! But I have spinning tomorrow so fingers crossed I get away with it!

3/10- 96.8kg - bit of a tummy bug during the night so doubt this will stick!

3/11- 97.6kg - knew it wouldn't stick, but I did also end up eating 2 semlor and having a few glasses of wine so that will probably explain it! Buuuuut I have done 45 mins spinning plus a bit more cardio and a few weights today so should start heading down again tomorrow! (Fingers crossed!)

3/12- 97.4 - Spinning paying off! Had a big Saturday but gym yesterday and stick to plan for the week and the numbers should keep going down!

3/13- 97.5 - ugh... not good, half way and i've put on half the amount of weight i was aiming to lose!

I have no idea... Under my calories... I even made an allowance for the treats I ended up eating while doing the budget! Got out for my run this morning though... Up at 6am and completed w4 d2 of couch to 5k... Head up and keep marching! Going to need to work hard for next 5 days to get to 96.5kg target!

3/14- 97.6 Seriously... Wtf... I don't understand this... I've been eating less, moving more and yet I'm not losing anything.... Really disappointed! Going to adjust my target to 97.0kg.

3/15- 97.6kg okay… Getting irritated now! There's gotta be a woosh coming right?! I'm eating at a deficit, sodium is low and I'm working hard on my fitness… hard not to get disheartened! Just keep the head up and keep looking towards the goal right?

Day/Weight/Comment
3/09 - 62.7kg (-0.3kg) - Really happy with my nutrition over this last week. More of the same today. Plan for the weekend is to stick to my light lunches both Saturday and Sunday and avoid the bread basket at my mother-in-laws on Sunday night! I'm also going to go alcohol-free this weekend as it really blew out my numbers last round and I spent the rest of the week regretting it.
3/10 - 62.6kg (-0.1kg) - Maintained the drop, that's good.
This is my lowest weight in my adult life. I saw this number at the end of last year and again in the middle of last round before TOM. Here's hoping to push past it. Onward and downward! (Confession time: I had half a glass of red wine last night, so much for alcohol free)
3/11- 62.8kg (+0.2kg) - Slightly suspicious of this number. I suspect I'll be up tomorrow too. Went to the movies, enjoyed some popcorn, had a take away for dinner and some of my partner's Easter egg. Anyway, not complaining about that little blip as my weekend bump up! Yay!
3/12 - 62.6kg (-0.2kg) - It's Monday and the weekend weight is gone already! This never happens so I am suspicious but happy. Meals prepped for the work, weather looking ok for a few walks - looking to be a good week!
3/13 - 62.3kg (-0.3kg)- Hooray! I've been pretty consistent and focused. Went for a walk yesterday even though I didn't want to. Getting about 3L of water a day. All going to plan, I am hoping to make my goal by Thursday

3/14 - 61.9kg (-0.4kg) - Holy poop! I was not expecting another whoosh this round. I'm now under my goal weight for this round but am going to leave it at 62kg as I expect hormones and a Saturday night party to provide a little bump before Sunday. Yesterday - Under cals, 3L water, mostly eating protein, fruit and vegetables. It appears it's working!

3/15 - 61.8kg (-0.1kg) - The whoosh stuck, yay! On target with my calories, getting all my water in. Not at work tomorrow but am going to plan my food in advance and stick to it - I usually struggle without my week day routine.
