That’s a kilo and a half in 6 days? Help! I’ve been slacking on the water and craving carbs but it’s because I am a little run down.. but I am still watching my calories. Panic mode!!!
25/04 * 72.9 * movement in the right direction - no carbs for dinner lastnight. Drank more water but didn’t make it to target. Today I will aim for 1.5ltrs and will have no carbs for dinner again tonight - hoping the smallest changes will have the biggest impact (still in shock at the weight gain!)

Overall loss (start of round) – 24.4kg/53.8lbs

4/18: 109.8kg/242.0lbs - Went to the football last night, we lost 3-1 but the atmosphere was amazing and I didn't buy a pie - winning. Starting to feel that I'm gaining a better relationship with food! Sidenote: I have wanted to be below 110kg for sooooo long, today is a great day.
4/19: 109.7kg/241.8lbs – A step in the right direction! Nice 11km run this morning, changed up my route and it was very scenic, got my breakfast and lunch meal prepped and off to the gym tonight! Refraining myself from finding a beer garden after work despite this weather being so nice!
4/20: 108.9kg/240.0lbs – Not feeling good today, had to cut this morning’s run very short as my stomach turned – shame really but I’ll try again on Sunday. Buzzing with this drop though – out for food and beers tonight so this will change.. (Also updated my HW as it was incorrect)
4/21: 109.1kg/240.5lbs – Feeling bloated, but the weather was lovely. Dragged myself on an 18km in the sunshine, time wasn’t great and I think I need to start looking at some energy gels to keep me going.
4/22: 108.1kg/238.3lbs – Expected a drop after such a long run, rest day today even had a couple of beers.
4/23: 108.4kg/239.0lbs – Monday, back to work and back to my meal preps. Lunch for the week consisting of: Lemon & Herb chicken, sticky rice, broccoli & sweetcorn. Gym tonight too. Good news also, my BMI has gone from Obese to overweight - WOOO.
4/24: 108.3kg/238.8lbs – Back down a little, a step in the right direction. 8km run this morning, gym tonight and then 16km tomorrow morning!
4/25: 108.2kg/238.5lbs – I like this, slow and steady wins the race! 16km this morning, legs are aching, no gym tonight and rest day tomorrow. I may eat pizza tonight..

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.

I'm in but late. I had to leave before the last challenge ended. Grandbaby number 5 arrived so we were off to Georgia. Ate out A LOT while there. Not good.

4/24 - 185.6 - I drank a ton of water yesterday, but my food choices weren’t perfect. I did go to the grocery store to get more fruits and veggies for snacks. Hopefully, that will help with the after work snack.
4/25 - 185.1 - I'm still headed in the right direction even though I wasn't that great about eating healthy yesterday. I forgot my lunch and didn't have time for breakfast so by the end of the day I was ready to eat everything in front of me. Today is a new day, hopefully, tomorrow will continue the downward trend.

Loss to date - 13.80 lbs
Avg loss per round - 0.86 lbs

R38 goals - to stay focused, log everything, drink my water and stay on track - aiming for a 136lb or below finish....

4/18 -136.60 down 1.0lb. guessing my usual post weekend "whoosh". My aim for this round is to keep it here or below and stay focused....... Happy with the start though

4/19 - 137.30 up 0.70lb - TOM imminent and bloated - not helped by late evening munchies last night (fairly healthy munchies of houmous and breadsticks - but was late last night) . Still down on the round start so far though

4/20 - 136.90 down 0.40lb - up down up down ..... TOM due and its now the weekend ........ I am feeling positive at the moment

Must keep up the water (hot here at the moment for the UK in April anyway!) but I did discover 50 calories mini soleros at my local M&S Today - it was lovely!

4/21 - 136.6 down 0.3 yay!! Good day planned today food wise and a 20mile or so bike ride too so here's hoping....

4/22 - 136.60 - holding ....
4/23 - 138.60 - up as usual on a Monday but happily my "lowest" Monday high for a long while which I'm happy about esp at TOM imminent. Nothing I know of this week that should see me being led off track so should be a good finish Friday..... giving blood tonight so hoping that will mean I weigh less tomorrow

if only ....

4/24 - 137.0 - usual Tuesday morning drop - still hopeful for a 136 finish by Friday .... Food prepped, water bottle refilled and gym tonight ..... Repeat after me - I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS .....

4/25 - 137.20 +0.20lb - up a it but ate later than normal last night and "TOM imminent" bloated-ness. Two more weigh ins and so want to be 136 - even 136.90 will do ...... Although if not this round, I'm sure I'll reach it next round as so close now..... Definitely losing slower now I weigh less but so much happier in my clothes and my confidence levels

Would still like to lose a bit more though

4/22: 184.3, Moved more yesterday and broke out the food scale. This is mostly water but I’ll take what I can get!

4/23: 181.7, Stuck to calorie goal and had a long hike yesterday. Feeling less bloated.

4/24: 181.2, walked over 16,000 steps, drank tons of water and went over calories but still dropped half a pound. Must have been at maintenance or near it and rest is water weight. Will try harder to stick to calories today because this water loss will come to an end soon.

4/25: 184.1, welp, I was within calorie range but know a lot has been water flux. Here’s the proof. Sigh.

Day/Weight/Comment

4/18 - 166.6 - Good way to start this next challenge. The last couple times it seemed I'd gain weight right away and the rest of the challenge was trying to get rid of my 1st day gain. Hoping it warms up and the rain holds off so I can get out and walk. Looking forward to the next few days and I'm determined to make my goal.

4/19 - 166.6 - I've never had the same number for 3 days in a row before (I've only been weighing myself everyday for 20 some days now) so it's interesting to see. Since I started logging every meal and keeping track of my exercise for the past 40 days and weighing in every day for the past 20 I'm starting to see and understand what works for me and what I need to do to lose the weight. I'm sure it'll always be a learning experience but one that I'm willing to learn. Interested to see tomorrows weigh-in.

4/20 - 166.6 - So I guess I'm going to be stuck at this weight now but if I'm not showing a gain, I'm happy. Need to plan meals out for this weekend so I can stay on track, Saturday and Sunday are usually days I slack off on and then regret it come Monday morning but I want to prevent that from happening this time. I can have a fun, healthy weekend.

4/21 - ?? - tried to weigh in this morning but the battery died in my scale and I'll take it as a sign that I'd be unhappy with what it would tell me as I indulged in many butter covered perogies last night. Have a busy day today though and I'm ready with healthy snacks already packed and lots of water. Will try to get out and buy a battery some time today so I can weigh in tomorrow and keep myself accountable for those damn, delicious perogies.

4/22 - ?? - still no battery for my scale, probably won't weigh myself until Tuesday morning unless I make a special trip into town and pick some things up. I had a good day yesterday though, it was busy but I was ready with healthy snacks, a chicken broccoli rice bowl for lunch, a light dinner and lots of water. Wasn't able to work out but got plenty of steps in, feeling optimistic for when I can weigh in.

4/23 - ?? - Still no scale but I will have one back tomorrow, interested to see what I will weigh. Weekends are usually hard for me but it was really nice out and I got a lot of steps in all weekend and I had my meals better planned out so I'd say this weekend was better than most my weekends. Hoping tomorrow weight reflects it. Happy Monday!
** 166.2 @ 2:50 pm

4/24 - 166.2 - feeling optimistic that I can be 165 by Friday. My eating habits have been on point, I'm at or slightly below my calories, just need to get myself exercising more. I have been getting a lot of steps in since it's been nice out but I haven't been doing anything to get my heart rate up and so today since it's raining I'll head back to the gym. I've got 3 days to make my goal, I've got this.

4/25 - 165.0 - Made my goal! Now to just maintain or continue to drop on down for the next couple days. Gave in to cravings last night and had a hot fudge sundae, hoping I won't see an increase tomorrow from it but it was oh so good and I only felt a tiny bit guilty about eating it after I had sat there and ate it all. Kind of worried about such a drop but hoping it's true and I won't have a big increase tomorrow or Friday, still feeling optimistic.

R37 Starting/Ending: 190/184.8 lbs
R38 Starting/Ending: 184.8/??? lbs

Date - Weight - Update
4/18 W - 185.8 - As yesterday was a WHOOSH day for me, this is a decently reasonable bounce back, and still lower than where I was on Monday... anticipating this week to be more difficult than last. Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals.
4/19 Th - 184.8 - Maybe it wasn't a WHOOSH at all and I was just retaining water? Or this is another deceptive drop? The most likely scenario is regular fluctuations, but where's the fun in blaming that?; Exercised in the morning - about 600 cals, tomorrow will be a rest day and may end up being a maintenance day if I can't keep my calories in check.
4/20 F - 185.0 - Ate a bit too much after dinner. Still within calories, but it was pure carbs. The 0.2 lb increase is clearly water weight; rest day today but should still get plenty of steps in. Lots of stuff to do.
4/21 S - 183.8 - Ah yes, more fluctuations. Just what I wanted. Been oddly dehydrated lately, despite drinking over a gallon per day, going to try to up my intake just to be careful; Exercised in the morning - about 500 cals.
4/22 Su - 183.8 - A standstill is good over a weekend. Means I didn't go too hard on Saturday, which has been my problem in the past. Another rest day today, went for a walk, but no intense exercise.
4/23 M - 185.2 - Consumed a decent amount of carbs/sodium Sunday night, so I guess this makes sense, regardless of how little I like it. Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 cals.
4/24 T - 184.6 - Skipped my workout yesterday, and ate over my daily calories, but still dropped some of that bloat... I'd consider that to be a win. Exercising twice today, morning workout was around 600 cals, evening should be around 500. Let's see which wins tomorrow, water retention in the muscles, or loss due to deficit.
4/25 W - 184.6 - AND THE WINNER IS... water retention. That's cool. I can live with that. Means there's a WHOOSH coming. I'm also not as sore this morning as I intended, so my muscle soreness may be more delayed than normal, or last night's workout didn't do its job properly. Exercising tonight, should be about 1000 calories after all is said and done.

weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
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 194lbs start and finish but did see 192 for a couple days
4/18 – 196lbs – allowed myself a free for all day to end the free for all week. The next 10 days I plan on shifting from maintenance to weight loss program. Should drop 2-3 in the first days then a couple more by the end of 10 day challenge. 190lbs on or before 4/27 is my goal
4/19 – 195lbs – still predicting a quick drop if I don’t have adult beverages. Eat before logging and WOW does prime rib have a lot of calories. Homemade and worth every bite. Managed to ride bike for 30 minutes
4/20 – 194lbs – good thing lunch was on target. Eat 5 hotdogs at a gathering last night and had 1 to many cocktails! It’s a fishing weekend so I probably will not eat right the next 2 days
4/21 – 192lbs – eat kinda okay yesterday but didn’t plan on 2 pound change.
4/22 – 192lbs – not bad for a weekend. Hope the fish are biting this afternoon. had the last salmon in the freezer a week or so ago.
4/23 – 193lbs - to much sunshine out fishing lake Michigan, fell asleep in my chair till 6pm. Instead of cooking the fresh coho salmon I took the wife to chines buffet. Still full this morning. Salmon tonight!
4/24 – 192lbs – kinda not expected. Lots of snacks and beer on the boat last night. Only caught one brown trout, then had dinner after 10pm. Going to try hard to reach 190 yet this round even if only for the last day

4/25 – 193lbs – my bad eating habits as of lately are late night binge eating after a cocktail. Good thing I have been keeping my days in check or I would end right back at 235lbs.

SW: 212.6
GW: 210
UGW: 155

4/18 - 212.6 - Felt a little bloated, adjusting lunch time shake down to 1 scoop
4/19 - 212.2 - Feeling positive and slightly less bloated. Walked the Dog around Pearl Hill about 1 mile. Being more mindful about getting up every hour at work.
4/20 - 210.2 - Bloat is gone, scale shows the water weight lost. Adjusted my lunchtime meal yesterday since I wasn't hungry after my sandwich wrap and skipped the shake. I think the shake makes me bloated in the afternoon. Dinner has not been planned just being more mindful of portion sizes. Did 25 minute yoga/meditation last night. Goal is to actually check in this weekend while I'm not on my work schedule. Accountability!
4/21 - 210.0 - had pizza and salad for dinner last night, it fit into my macros for the most part. Slightly over, but the day was good whole food eating all day. 80/20 rule! Weighed in a little earlier than usual. Good breakfast shake this morning and took meds. Pot roast snack after a walk and errands instead of a big huge breakfast sandwich. Weekend water intake always struggles but making a good effort. Going Adams farm and grocery shop today or tomorrow. Doing an experiment today to see if I can make good choices on the fly!
4/22 - 210.2 "experiment" went well considering. Ate mostly proteins all day and ended up having ice cream for dinner cause our eating schedule was all weird after a long day, first weekend back working. Water struggles for sure and I woke up so dehydrated. Duck eggs and sausage for breakfast and off the the store for a few things. Water water water today. Went to Adams Saturday and Grocery store Sunday - prepped and ready for the week.
4/23 - 211.0 - Ice cream got the better of me last night - which I didnt have room for in my macros since I had quesadillas for dinner. But it was a great day of quality food, friends, sunshine and laughter. We did a nice long walk around bowers for Fala. Stopped at Kalon for bacon ended up with steak instead. Grilled steak and potato with green beans for lunch, used leftovers for steak quesadilla for dinner. Minimal snacking, improved my water intake - learned that "light ice cream" is just a tease and I'd be better satisfied to eat the one serving size of regular instead of a whole pint of "light" - Expected the slight gain between over on macros and sodium - but I keep reminding myself that the weekends will take far more dedication than the weekdays, and I will figure out what works and what does not as I continue.
4/24 - 210.0 - Meal prep has already helped this week so much - quinoa and grilled chicken for lunches, didnt realize quinoa was so carb heavy, I know its a grain but for some reason I thought it was lower. Still a better choice for me since its lower GI. Had a 1/2 cup white rice with dinner and used coconut aminos instead of soy and kept my sodium in check! Mini bag of popcorn instead of carrots and dip because I didnt like the honey dijon - but it was good I had a back up option and didnt end up at the drive thru! No dessert last night and sleep is improving. Today I am happy with the number I see but expect it to flucuate a bit before the final 4/27 weigh in. Really enjoying this challenge.
4/25 - 208.4 - Whoa! Holy moly not sure what to make of that. I suspect I'll see some fluctuation in the next few days. I cooked dinner last night and ate a few extra pieces of bacon while I was cooking. Still stayed within macros for cals, carbs, sodium and actually hit my protein (these are typically my trouble spots)! I've never done daily weigh in's before so this is great for data collection to see how and what affects my body. I noticed yesterday my complexion is improving and my ring is finally feeling more comfortable. Almost done with my first round of 10 days and feeling all the benefits, mind, body and soul!
