Just give me 10 days round 37
Round 1 for me!
4/8 219.6 here we go…..
4/9 219.0 Woo hoo! Like Sparx above me said...it's going to be a great week! Day 6 for me back on mfp after a 2+ year absence. Feeling positive and determined. I can do this!
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.

4/17
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.

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.
4/15 -- 196.4 Looks like the whoosh is finally over.
4/16 -- 196.6 Whoosh is very definitely over. Hope I don't bounce back too badly. I need to watch that I don't slip into bad habits now I don't have the strong positive reinforcement of major progress.

4/8 (Sunday) - 212.4
4/9 (Monday) - 211.6 (209lbs 3 hours later? This was not a fluke. I weighed myself 2 more times afterwards.)
4/10 (Tuesday) - 211.4 - Ahh, but today.... whatever. Keep calm and keto on? Yep. It has been almost 3 weeks since I've had a full gallon of water or close to it each day. I know that is the culprit. 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,
4/12 (Thursday) - 210.6 - Smh
4/13 (Friday) - 210 -
4/14 (Saturday) - 210- I don't know what my weight was this morning, didn't weigh. Feeling somewhat under the weather today, so resting and trying to get myself together before evening. My 4 grands are coming this evening, and all of them will want my undivided attention, individually, lol. I can't wait to see them. I love them so much. I'll be worn out tomorrow.
4/15 (Sunday) - 208.6 - Mmm I don't know if that's true. I weighed on a different scale this morning. We shall see.

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.
4/14 220.8
4/15 222.0 Short of breath.
4/16 223.6 I know it is med related. I am just very unhappy that I have to look at the loss of progress. short of breath as well. Tomorrow should look like some kind of miracle.

1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
new goal - drop below 190 feed and watered
round 33 - start=215lbs end 202lbs
round 34 - start = 202 end 192.8lbs stomach empty and bone dry
round 35 - start = 192 end 196lbs
round 36 – 195lbs no change.
Round 37 goal – if I manage to maintain 195 I will be happy. I will be celebrating birthweek.
4/8 – 194lbs. 700 calories under food goal.
4/9 – 195lbs – still good considering its Monday. Birthday party tonight at local pub that cooks a mean bacon, ham, cheeseburger and the best fried mushrooms. Better have a skip lunch to have room for the 1300 calorie dinner
4/10 195lbs – I so wanted the steak buffet. Oh well the wife promised this weekend when kids might be able to make it. Had awesome 1600 calorie burger and mushrooms. Then did cardio for over an hour. Way to many birthday cocktails.
4/11 – 196lbs up 1 pound. I think it’s the snacks late last night at Spanish class.
4/12 – 192lbs - I have no idea why. Maybe the workout on Monday. Maybe 600 calorie food deficit yesterday?
4/13 – 194lbs – nothing but cucumbers until dinner at the steak buffet tonight. I am planning on cardio today to balance out the 3 pounds of meat I am planning on having.
4/14 – 196 – logged 2 pounds of filet minion instead of listing all the different meats at the buffet last night. Just got done with an hour of cardio. I find it hard to believe I am not pushing 200 after all the feed I have had during Birthweek. Starting Monday I go back to normal life.
4/15 – 192lbs and 54% water, why? Possibly the 2 days in a row with cardio, maybe < 150 calories before big dinner? Finished the day 1500 calories below maintenance that is only if you don’t count the whiskey.
4/16 – 192.0lbs – a new 20 year low! Not sure how this happened while on vacation the last 4 days. Wife keeps telling me to eat.

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...
4/11 - 144.0 - better than nothing
4/12 - 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.
4/13 - 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.
4/14 - 143.0 - not bad considering I gave into some mid cycle peri-menopause carb cravings yesterday...
4/15 - 144.6 - Sushi for dinner = Sodium water retention....I can feel it in my sausage fingers...should be gone in a day or two
4/16 - 145.2 - Pretty sure this is still the sodium aftermath...calories were at or under maintenance this weekend but the balance of what I ate was a bit off my norm so my old bod is reacting to that.

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

Rd 36 EW = 156.6

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
4/14 - 178.4 Um, what? I love it but don't expect it to stick around! I gave in to the comfort food cravings yesterday and ate way over my calorie allotment in ice cream. Starting to feel better today, finally.
4/15 - 178.0 Wow, two days in a row! I'm finally starting to feel back to normal so I'm going to try not to mess this up!
4/16 - 179.0 Okay, not surprising. I took my measurements today and I've lost about 1 1/2 inches from my waist and hips in the last couple of months. Booyeah!

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.
4/14: 110.9kg/244.5lbs - Good, recovered from some sort of bug and managed a 16km run.
4/15: 110.3kg/243.2lbs - Great! 4 weeks until my half marathon and I'm going strongly.
4/16: 111.7kg/246.2lbs – Awful. I really didn't want to post this as I was doing so well but I caved and had an indian last night, first takeaway since starting this and it will be my last for a very long time. I know it is a tiny blip in the scale of things, but it is a realisation for me that I really need to focus!
4/17:
don't beat yourself up too much, back on it today and it will soon melt away. We all need a treat every now and then
Thanks Tracie! I need to remember that this journey is not linear, onwards and downwards!3 -

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.
4/11 (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.
4/12 (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.
4/13 (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.
4/14 (Sat) -187.2 - Maybe this will start decreasing soon? ; exercised in the morning - about 500 cals
4/15 (Sun) - No Scale - Rewarded myself for hitting my first goal by purchasing a new dress for the rehearsal dinner I'm attending in a few weeks rather than wearing an old one.
4/16 (Mon) - 186.6 - Yes. This. This is what I needed today. Won't hit my second goal of this 10 days, but I didn't think losing almost 5 lbs in a week and a half would have been healthy for me anyway. Also, still sore from Saturday's workout. Must have gone harder than I thought; Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals
4/17 (Tues) - -10 -

4/8 / 238.8 / Trying to hold on despite wanting to drown my sorrows in cake.
4/9 / 239 / Am feeling a bit more like myself today, despite TOM wonkiness. Back at work this morning. The routine sometimes really helps me.
4/10 / 237.4 / Feeling better yet again. Excellent.
4/11 / 239 / Bouncy bouncy bouncy! Still, my mood is so much improved it's not even in the same ballpark, so I ain't complainin' for once.
4/12 / 237.8 / I'm hungry! I was hungry yesterday, too. Bah!
4/13 / 238.8 / At some point, I'll stop wanting to eat everything. I hope.
4/14 / 238.8 / Maybe things are settling down.
4/15 / 236.8 / Weighed late this morning, so this is likely a false loss!
4/16 / 237.2 / Under calories yesterday for the first time in a while. Woot! I'm feeling way more in control of everything right now, which is a great feeling after a couple of weeks of real struggle to feel like I had the power to make changes. I'm human. I will struggle at times. I just need to hoist myself up again and again and keep moving forward. Consider myself hoist!8 -

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:

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.
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!
4/15 - 150.5
Shoot! But I just tallied my ave the past 10 days and it's 100/day higher than my TDEE (maintenance calories), so it makes sense. I'll take that as a good thing as it confirms what I believe is my TDEE. So starting today I have promised myself that I will aim for TDEE minus 0-10%. Back on the wagon, and if it ever stops raining, back to my long walks.
4/16 - 151
OK, it is what it is. And not a surprise, since my calorie average the past 10 days is 150 over my estimated maintenance level (I underestimated yesterday). So I will look at this information as confirmation that I have a good understanding of my caloric needs to maintain, and now, moving forward, I can use this info to get back on track and drop the 20 or so additional pounds I want to lose over the next 6 months, give or take.

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.)
4/15- 308.0 (-3.6) (this is like a 10 round fight -- new "me" versus old "me". Round 8 was a draw. "New" is going to win rounds 9 and 10 to win the 10 day challenge )
4/16- 308.0 (-3.6) (ok, plateau perhaps. Or I have hit my goal for this 10 day and my body has decided to wait until the next round.)
