4/9 - 214.2 -getting refocused today and recommitting. My lowest was 205.9 and hoping to get back there and then keep going down.
4/10 - 209.8 - loss of water weight after a great day yesterday. Schedule thrown off today as I wasn’t home. Packed a lunch but was hungry before that so grabbed a steak sub (so an extra meal). Had a handful of chocolates due to cravings as I detox from the sugar. Tomorrow no sugar!
4/11 - 210.0 - did really well with meals but then got into the chocolate. Bad bad bad. I will th again tomorrow. I did go for a 4.5km walk pulling baby in the wagon and then played 45min it volleyball and cleaned the house. So maybe that will help balance the chocolate!
4/12 - 209.8
4/13 - 207.6 - is skipped dinner yesterday as I was so . Smoothie for breakfast and leftover rice and chicken for lunch. Had some sweet treats throughout the day. Didn’t get all my water in which may be why I dropped. But I’ll take it!

4/8 222.2
4/9 221.0 I was surprised but happy about this. Lower sodium intake.
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.
4/13 221.0 I am not disheartened. Just happy to be bouncing around down here instead of at 230.

Goal for this round. Honestly, I just don’t know. I still won’t have a kitchen that is functional for another 2-3 weeks. I’m hoping I can shave off a little, but with eating out so much, I should be happy to maintain. But I’m NOT happy to just maintain because I'm only 5-6 pounds from a "Normal" BMI, so let’s try for a small loss. 154.x
Day/Weight/Comment
Rd 36 EW = 156.6
4/8 = 155.4 Starting off with a sizable loss. Yay! Now if I can keep it going this round.
4/9 = 154 I’m sure there will be a bounce, but I’m excited about this!
4/10 = 154.8 This always happens when I lose 2-3 pounds in a day or two. As long as the trend remains falling, I don’t worry about it.
4/11 = 155.8 Well, that’s discouraging, but it happens. It wasn’t based on what I ate, so hopefully it won’t stay long.
4/12 = 155.4 Here we go!

Hello! I'm back! I missed Round 36...we were on vacation and I didn't have a scale. Had a great time...some days walked 20k+ steps and some I slugged at the pool. Now it's back to routine and weighing and logging in daily.
SW March 2017 - 182.4
OGW - 145 - smashed this in October 2017
New GW - 140 - and some fitness goals on top of this as there are some family challenges we are planning for the summer and I want to keep up with my boys.
03/28 - 141.4 - weigh in the day we left on our trip
Day/Weight/Comment
4/8 - no scale
4/9 - 145.2 - not too bad...less than 4 lbs...the last 2 days spent blobbing in the car. I should see this come off pretty quickly with lots of hydration and getting back to my exercise routine...I put my work out gear on first thing this morning so no excuses.
4/10 - 144.2 - The first couple after vacation always come off easily...its the last few that are "real"....gotta keep working at it...
4/12 - 144.0 - better than nothing
4/13 - 142.6 - I thought there might be another bigish drop. I kind of shocked my system back into reality with my eating the last couple of days. I think I will add some calories back in to get the last few pounds to my current goal off a bit more slowly.
4/14 - 143.4 - Sodium bounce I think...unplanned dinner out with my parents last night. Calories were good but I sure could taste the salt. I also did a pretty hard Kettlebell workout yesterday and it's been a few weeks so there my also be some muscle repair going on. It's not a huge increase so it doesn't phase me....and that's what daily weighing and logging has taught me over the last year.

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.
4/14 (Fri) - 187.2 - Okay, this can stop increasing now. I understand my carb intake has been a bit higher the past few days, but I'm looking for a downward trend, not this nonsense; Today is a rest day.

4/8 270.5 Expected because started back to gym after almost week off water going back to the muscles I'll take the weight over the back pain

4/10 270.0 Tweaked my back again at the gym not as bad and was at the end of work out so another no gym day
4/11 269.0 Another off gym day but still going down it is my deload week anyways so need to recover

Nothing works unless you have a sustained calorie deficit over time. Anything will work if you have a sustained calorie deficit over time.
Motivation is overrated. What you need is education, willingness to eat less, a good plan, and discipline to stick to it.
According to Big Fat Myths: When You Lose Weight, Where Does the Fat Go? which is an interesting perspective on "diet" we injest 148oz / 9.25 lbs of food/water/oxygen a day but depending on how efficient everything processes we don't operate on a perfect 24 hour cycle to process all that so you get weight fluctuations. I think that is semi comforting to keep in mind we are not robots and CICO doesn't operate at perfect 24 hour scale either.5 -

4/8 - 180.0 I always fluctuate a little bit, but as long as I'm fluctuating in this range, I'm happy!
4/9 - 179.4 Couldn't sleep, so I did my weigh in at 3:40 am
4/10 - 180.0 I'm fighting off a cold, and I tend to overeat comfort food (aka junk) when I'm sick. I'm really trying not to go down that path this time around. I was about 170 cals over yesterday, which I'm okay with. Also ate way too much sodium (chicken noodle soup) so feel bloated today. Just trying to fight off this cold because I don't want to use my PTO on sick days!
4/11 - 179.4 Still not feeling great--might be the seasonal allergies I was recently diagnosed with, ugh. I haven't exercised for a couple of days but I will be going to my second pilates class tonight after work.
4/12 - 179.4 Holding steady. I really feel like whatever cold or sickness I have been fighting off is winning today. Stuffy head and no energy. I feel really good about doing Pilates last night and I have already planned for a somewhat healthy lunch option (chicken and rice soup) to fend off the comfort eating I might want to do.
4/13 - 180.0 Meh. Home sick today. The sickness won. I'm just trying not to eat the piles of carbs that sound so good to me when I'm sick.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/8- 131.8- lowest I've weighed in in a while! Ran 8 miles, helped in-laws move, and did yard work, so it was a super active day. Meal prepped a smoked salmon quiche for my lunches this week.
4/9- 132.4- not surprised to see this fluctuation despite a healthy, active weekend... it's water-retaining time of the month for me, so I'll be carrying a little extra around until about Saturday
4/10- 132.2- I'm pleased with this. Planning to run four miles at lunch today. Had a work happy hour in the evening and didn't drink anything and just had some hummus and veggies. Avoided the office candy bowl all day!
4/12- 132.4- Not surprised... feeling very bloated, but I know things will normalize soon. I have a meeting at lunch, so I won't be able to work out, but I will squeeze it in after work.
4/13- 131.8- heading back down! I'm going to run four miles at lunch and try to keep away from the office candy bowl again.
4/14- 131.6- Was hoping for a bigger drop, but I'll take what I can get! A little worried about this weekend... I'm making a cake for my father-in-law's birthday and we'll be eating out twice. I will be running 9 miles and doing yard work though, so I'll be very active, but, I still have to try to not eat half a cake since the leftovers will likely stay at my house. I'll take whatever is left to work on Monday, but it is hard to ignore the devil on my shoulder saying, you ran 9 miles yesterday, you deserve this!

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!

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!
4/13 - 151
WHAT? Still delayed reaction? Or the grilled cheese I had for lunch dinner? (Still well within my calories.) Bummer.

I usually have no problem drinking water and can easily drink a gallon a day, but I also occasionally have a brief period of not being able to drink past 60 to 64 ounces in a day. Don't know what that is about.
4/11 (Wednesday) - 210 - Apparently, the water within me loves to tease. This morning 4 different weigh ins, 1 minute apart, my readings were, 203 (yeah, that was first, I had to laugh), 206, 210 and 210.4. so, I averaged them and came up with 207.4. That could be my weight,

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.)
4/13- 307.4 (-4.2) (a little stress at work and instead of eating the whole vending machine I had carrots and hummus. Not nearly as tasty as some chocolate but I was happy I didn't sabotage myself and then throw the day away. Four more days -- would like to get to 305.0 even. Some work to do but short term goal is in sight)
