Day/Weight/Comment
4/8 -- 201.2
4/9 -- 201.0 mostly on plan today. I adjusted my expectations from 1200 calories per day to 1370 -- I just wasn't able to make it on a consistent basis. I'd prefer to lose slower and set lifestyle habits for myself than potentially lose faster but with a plan I can't sustain.
4/10 -- 200.6
4/11 -- 198.6 I like this whoosh! Ironically I'm finding it a lot easier to stay under 1200 calories when I allow myself a daily limit of 1370. Whatever tricks my brain wants to use are fine with me.
4/12 -- 197.6 Still whooshin'. I know that this is just the starting whoosh that comes after getting back on track after a long time of giving in to bad habits. I'm hoping to move well along the road before it tapers off.
4/13 -- 196.8 Starting to worry that I'm going to bounce back badly when I stop whooshing. I have been perfectly on plan all week, though, so maybe it's legit.
4/14 -- 196.4 First time I stepped on the scales it read 196.0. Thought I should check again. Hope I can hold on to this until the end of the challenge.

Diet LIFESTYLE Started: on the 13/10/2017 @ SW:106.9kg- 235lbs after my girlfriend had to do my shoe laces up for me before a wedding we attended, after 2 years of stopping and starting that was the thing that made me change

GW:75kg - 165lbs

First full round!

Targets:
Sober April - (FAILED! But it was a family 40th wedding anniversary party so...!?)
Less than 196lbs by end of April
Daily food goal is 2000 calories

Day - Weight - Comment
4/8 - 95.1kg - 209.6lbs - Had a family party to attend and it was a big occasion, lots of beer, food and there was no way I was able to keep track of it, it happens oh well! Probably find the food weight drops off in a couple of days! Had an output of 3095 calories mainly due to me working on the Saturday walking up and down the floors doing some upgrades, used the stairs instead of the lift! End of this round I will be happy with 204lbs... hopefully. (Weigh time 7:00am)
4/9 - 94.4kg - 208.1lbs - 2050 calories vs 2255 expenditure, had a nice even day of eating while I was working on Sunday to balance out the craziness of Saturday night, this is mainly just food and water weight but if it happens again I’m not going to moan! (Weigh time 7:30am)
4/10 - 93.7kg - 206.5lbs - 1884 calories vs 2668 expenditure,I got a day off for all the weekend work so I literally did nothing but go and grab a couple of pairs of jeans from the shops, how I managed to drop again yesterday I don’t know but keep it coming! Surely not another drop tomorrow?! Not exercised in 6 days, was going to cycle to work today but RAIN (UK) killed all hopes of that. (Weigh time 7:30am)
4/11- 93.7kg - 206.5lbs - 1879 calories vs 2944 expenditure, the drop ends with a nice even number, normal day back in the office for me, very disciplined with my food as a normal day is, lots of water, went and watched the football in the evening, didn’t cycle again because of that god damn rain! On target for 92.5kg/204lbs by the end of the round hopefully.... stay strong and don’t give up people! (Weigh time 6:30am)
4/12 - 92.9kg - 204.8lbs -1600 calories vs 2958 expenditure, WOW! I i know I’ve been strict lately but my god, must still be weight from the Holiday/Saturday night binge I guess, expecting a rise tomorrow I’d say... I’ve also challenged someone at work to see who can lose the most by June 1st, hopefully I can win.... stay focused people just think about the long term. (Weigh time 6:30am)
4/13 - 93kg - 205lbs - 1567 calories vs 2975 expenditure, ITS OFFICIALLY 6 MONTHS TO THE DAY THAT I STARTED MY DIET AND I HAVE LOST 13.9KG/30LBS, nice level weigh in today very happy, managed to cycle into work this morning as the weather held up and it felt GREAT, working late this evening as we have a power down so will be lots of running around lifting things so a few calories got rid of then, and then hopefully planning on cycling home maybe half way then get the train the rest of the way, we shall see.... feeling good, four more days of this round can i get into the 91kg range!? (Weigh time 6:00am) - PS I AM GONNA SMASH THIS CHALLENGE AGAINST MY COLLEAGUE!
4/14 - 92.6kg - 204.1lbs - 1721 calories vs 3829 expenditure, I was finally able to cycle yesterday because because the weather held up and did a total of 16.5 miles, walked up and down the stairs in our building during the evening work so burnt more then, and started my running journey by running 0.82 miles and managed to do it in 6:50 which I was relatively happy with! I am almost 100% sure I can manage another 0.1kg in the next 3 days! (Weigh time 7:30am)

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.

tishawj · April 2018

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.
4/15 - 143.0 - not bad considering I gave into some mid cycle peri-menopause carb cravings yesterday...

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!
4/14 - 62.6kg (0.0kg) - That's fine by me! Happy to be in the 62s again. Plan for the weekend, if it's dry, going for a run Saturday morning to make room for some extra calories at a girls night on Saturday. Would like to finish this round in the 62s still.

4/15 - 62.6kg (0.0kg) - Pleasant surprise after take away last night. Will be happy if I maintain this weight for the rest of the round.

4/10 219.1 Still going strong. Paying attention to what and how much I eat and no mindless snacking. Haven’t touched the Girl Scout cookies yet, lol. Got back into some exercising yesterday.
4/11 216.6 Big drop…..but I knew it was coming since this is only day 9 for me back to counting calories, and back on MFP. Now to keep up the momentum.
4/12 217.0 Up just a smidge from the big drop. No problem. Still doing great.

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.)

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)

4/14- 308.0 (-3.6) (come on now, focus. not so much sabotage as caught up celebrating with too much food. Three more days to get this right and stay on track.)

CSW - 168.2
CEW - 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.

4/13 - 167.2 - whooo-hooo!!! Hopefully this weight stays. Weighed myself 3 times just to make sure it was right. Wasn't expecting such a big drop today so even if I go up a little tomorrow I'll still be happy. Excited to see this number though and it's much needed motivation to not sabotage it by just eating whatever and not exercising this weekend. Didn't think I'd make my goal this round but seeing this number today makes me think that if I just continue with the hard work I've put in so far I'll be able to do it.

4/14 - 167.2 - Glad to see this number again. Usually when I get excited about a loss, I'm right back up the next morning. This actually makes me believe I might not ever see 170 again and that's very rewarding. Yesterday's loss and trying on some of my summer shorts (from just last summer and they were almost too tight! Yikes!) REALLY helped me control what I ate and drank last night. Didn't really think I gained that much from last summer to this summer but I'll just turn the upset into motivation and hopefully instead of buying bigger shorts that fit this summer I'll be buying smaller ones.

SheilaBoneham · April 2018

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%

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

WHAT? Still delayed reaction? Or the grilled cheese I had for lunch dinner? (Still well within my calories.) Bummer.

4/14 - 150
OK, I still may make my <149 goal for the round. I went for a nice long walk yesterday - it was 78F - but today its 40s and pouring rain. But spring is coming!
