I'm in! Round 10 for me

Male, 22, 6ft3’

HW: 133.4kg/294lbs (31st October 2017) Overall loss (start of round) – 20.6kg/45.3lbs

4/8: 111.9kg/246.7lbs - I struggled to post last round as I was so busy but fluctuated below and above what I finished on, but was a tab frustrated not to make a loss overall but I am very happy it didn't go up!! Good start to this round, hoping to drop some more tomorrow.
4/9: 110.6kg/243.8lbs - Oh my god wow, I have not been this light in a very long time. Went for a 14km run on Saturday and a 4km run this morning and worked on my speed/pacing however my shins were causing me quite a lot of discomfort. Let us see if I can keep this weight off!
4/10: 110.6kg/243.8lbs – Well it didn’t go up? 8km run this morning and my shins were on fire, eurgh. Now just to plod through the day, gym tonight and hopefully a drop tomorrow!
4/12: 111.0kg/244.7lbs – I forgot how much my weight fluctuates… or how dodgy my scale is. Today is a rest day – also didn’t go to the gym last night as I was feeling so drained!
4/13: 111.2kg/245.1lbs – Rest day so my calories crept just over my 1600, hoping for a wee drop soon, but down overall still.

Day/Weight/Comment

4/8 - 63.3kg (+0.1kg) - I had a really tough time personally last round and put on 1.8kg. Looking to get rid of that weight and be back on track by the end of this round.
4/9 - 63.4kg (+0.1kg) - Back on the wagon today. Pre-logged my food and am making plans for the week ahead. Nothing grand, just small and achievable changes.
4/10 - 63.2kg (-0.2kg)- Didn't quite stick to my plan but I did pretty well. Late dinner and a few sweets threw me off but considering the day I had, I am counting it as a win!
4/12 - 63.2kg (+0.0kg) - The struggle continues. I did say no to topping off my bad day of eating with an ice cream though, so that is a plus right?


4/13 - 62.6kg (-0.8kg) - Oh thank *kitten* for that. I've been super bloated from a 12 day TOM (sorry TMI) and last night I started to notice my swollen tummy had deflated. Looks like the scale recognises it as well! Closed off my diary under maintenance for the first time in weeks yesterday too. Feeling good!

Once more into the fray.... I've decided to start including my average calories for the round with my end weight so I can really get a sense of what works. I do keep my macros pretty steady, but calories fluctuate and the average matters more than daily in my experience. I'm interested to see that although I exceeded my calorie goal during the last round and my weight jumped around a bit, I finished pretty much where I started. So maybe my TDEE is higher than I think and in theory I could eat a little more than I thought and still lose. We shall see. Glad to be back - thanks for being here for support & inspiration!

Goals:
Weight ~~ Lose slowly, hit <149 this round.
Food ~~ 1548 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 20-25%, C 35-45%, F 30-45%

Weight 2/2015 - 218
Lost 68#, regained 12 (to 156) on metabolism reset 11/16-6/17. R36 end weight 149.6; ave calories 1650

Day/Weight/Comment

4/8 - 149.6
After I posted yesterday, I decided to go a step farther for a longer view, so I averaged my daily calories for the past 30 days, during which my weight has been pretty steadily within half a pound of 149.5. Although my daily calories fluctuated from ~1400-2000, the average was 1549, which is 1 cal away from where I have put my TDEE for a while now (with minimal exercise). I really like having this data, and I'm since I do not want to cut my calories any more (metabolism & hunger), I'm happy holding steady here until I do get back to my typical activity level (soon!). It's easy to get wrapped up with the day-to-day and forget that reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is a long-term project - a lifestyle. Don't now if this helps anyone else, but it helps me a lot.

4/9 - 150.8
Eeek! But not a surprise - I had a major blow out yesterday. I knew what I was doing and did it anyway - I've been lusting after a pastry and some other things I don't usually eat, so I did it. And it's fine. Back on the wagon today with healthful food and lots to do.

4/10 - 150
A smidge better. I ate properly yesterday, still fending off my big splurge. Going out for lunch, but I'll be good.

4/11 - 150
Not much to say about this. I've really had the munchies lately. I'm not exceeding my average calories by much, but enough obviously to show up on the scale. OTOH, my sodium was high yesterday, so there's that. Jeans still fit!

4/12 - 150
The good news is that the house hunt is over! Yay! Even with the impending (short distance) move in May, this should reduce my stress level considerably and we should be able to stick to a more regular schedule of eating at home. Yay!

4/10 221.2
4/11 220.8. The ten pounds from 230 to 220 makes a difference in my activity level.
4/12 220.0 Husband had to restrict his diet yesterday to clear liquids, so I supported him by having clear chicken
broth for supper with him. Later ate 4 apples because I was famished. Poor guy goes in this morning
and I expect will be eating something filling for lunch. I expect this loss back.

Date - Weight - Update
4/8 (Sun) - 189.6 - Saturday was pretty lazy. Hit the gym, but started cleaning out the fridge by eating through most of my leftovers, so I'm honestly surprised I lost weight as of Sunday morning.
4/9 (Mon) - 189.4 - Sunday was my cleaning day. Didn't track my meals too well, so I'm proud of myself for staying healthy. Workout this afternoon - about 600 cals.
4/10 (Tues) - 187.0 - Well, that's a WHOOSH™ if I've ever seen one. Ended up doubling my workout yesterday (1200 cals), so that helped, but definitely wouldn't have killed almost 2.5 lbs. Here's hoping that was just a loss of a bunch of water weight; Exercising in the afternoon - about 500 cals.
4/12 (Wed) - 186.2 - What the heck. It must have been water weight. Or this is a very deceptive WHOOSH™, I like it. Let's keep this momentum going! Changing my goal weight for this round. Was not expecting to hit it quite so soon! GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAL!!!! ; Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals.
4/13 (Thurs) - 186.8 - Knew I'd get a higher value today. I went out for a drink with an old friend last night, so I'm sure this is mostly water, but who knows? Still under on calories for yesterday. Guess we'll see if I meet my second goal this week; Exercised in the morning - about 600 cals, debating exercising in the afternoon.

GW - 165
UGW - 130


Day/Weight/Comment

4/8 - 168.2 - Had a girls night last night and while it was extremely fun, I took in a lot of calories through mixed drinks. I kept my dinner healthy but expecting an increase in tomorrows weigh in. Would love to make my goal for this round as I didn't last round so lots of water starting today, health food chooses and lots of gym time.

4/9 - 170.0 - There's the increase I was expecting to see. Woke up with migraine this morning, hoping it'll be gone by this afternoon so I can hit the gym after work. Feel like I've been stuck around this 167-170 weight forever and starting to feel discouraged but I won't give up, just got to keep myself motivated.

4/10 - 170.0 - Still have the migraine and not feeling well this morning. Wasn't expecting for a good weigh in this morning but the scale not going up is a win in my book. Wish I could get down to the weight I started round 36 at and never see 170 again. Will work out after work today and hopefully see a good weigh in tomorrow. Healthy packed lunch, lots of water, gym and healthy home cooked meal for dinner tonight is the plan.

4/11 - 169.0 - Glad to see the scale going in the right direction. Had a very busy day yesterday but was able to still eat healthy and fit in some time at the gym. Work hours are changing for today because of some meetings so will need to figure out when I can fit in some exercise today so I can keep on track for the next few days and make my goal for this round.

4/12 - 169.0 - Happy with this weigh in, I wasn't able to work out as much as I would have liked yesterday so I'm relieved to not see 170 again. Back to a normal schedule today so fingers crossed I'll see 168 tomorrow.

4/9 184.0

4/10 181.4 looks good, except I got used to eating lots of big portions over the past 10 days so my belly is hungry! probably need to check out the "volume eaters" group here on MFP, lol. Still 3.0 lbs up from prevacation weight.

4/11 180.2 ate well yesterday. Tightening up even more today, gotta make it a habit again so I don't need motivation or as much self control to resist challenges. Need to drink all my water today as well!

4/12 180.8 had a salty dinner, an hour of cardio, and an Aperol spritz (or 2) last night. I went over my calories just a bit, having a better day today!

4/9 - 68.6 kg in the evening, haven't decided yet what I'm going to eat for dinner.
4/10 - 68.6 kg (morning) - had a light lunch and some pizza and wine for dinner. I also drank only one coffee (instead of my usual 2-3-4).
4 /11 - 68.5 kg - woop woop - now I have to make sure that I keep this and don't go up again. Drinking lots of water - I cut out the soda and don't really miss it, since I don't eat too many fatty foods.
4/12 - 68.4 kg - not planning on jinxing it, but f-it am I happy about this

Round 37 (my first go at this type of challenge -- might be what I need to break out of my weight loss funk)
SW(R37) 311.6 GW (R37) 308.0

4/8- 311.6
4/9- 309.2 (-2.4) (good Sunday for tracking, kept calories down for weigh in with my doctor this morning -- good motivation. Need to continue solid tracking and increasing cardio and weightlifting for the next nine days.)

4/10- 307.6 (-4.0) (likely this is water weight gain and now loss going into the start on 4/8 for this round -- trying to focus on being under 300 as my next mini goal on the long journey to one-derland. Long journey but day by day and 10 days by 10 days)

4/11- 306.0 (-5.6) (amazing what a little tracking and cardio can do. I'm sure this is still losing water weight from a run up to 311 but I'll take it for sure (or my scale is broken). Feels good to be in sight of 299. More tracking today.)

4/12- 307.4 (-4.2) (ok, this is when I normally get frustrated and throw my hands up with the scale showing an increase. However, there are five more days, I'm down 4.2 pounds in five days and I'm not going to quit because I know where quitting will take me. And I know the likely cause -- kid's choose dinner night last night -- they chose pizza. My kryptonite. Log it, track it, admit it and move on.)
