Ending weight (round 37) - 187.2
4/18 - 186.2....healthy eating yesterday paid off!
4/19 - 186.2....Again with the healthy eating. Maybe now I'll start going down?
4/20 - N / A
4/21 - N / A
4/22 - N / A
4/23 - 188.8....My bad for not weighing in for 3 days. Will start to do better!
4/24 - 187.4....Ok, I can salvage this round
4/25 - 186.2....On the right track. Gotta keep this going!
4/26 - 186.2
4/27 - 186.2
Down a pound from the end of last Round. I took the long way around, but I got here!
Why is it so hard to lose a pound?
Because I love junk food, that's why! I need to cut back on my evening snacking this next round, and maybe I'll see a difference. It's worth a try, at least!
It won't be easy, but it will be worth it!
My ultimate goal is 170lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

4/19 - 145.6
4/20 - 145.6 - maybe a little move downwards tomorrow?
4/21 - 145.6 not yet...
4/22 - 145.6 still nothing
at least it’s not up!
4/23 - 145.6 still holding out hope for a loss tomorrow
4/24 - 145.6 I’m okay with this today because I had a few too many snacks yesterday..
4/25 - 145.6 not even funny anymore..
4/26 - 143.6 yaaassss!! The rest of this round has been worth it for this number
4/27 - 144.6 first time I’ve had a gain since joining the challenges I think this is due to dehydration being re-hydrated..

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!
4/26 - 207.6 - Weighed twice before and after shower because I did not believe my eyes. Yesterday was a sedentary day, although I've been improving my moving every hour. Ate within macros. Tried a tasty new recipe for beef and quinoa stuffed peppers. Had to pick up dog meds so dinner was later, and I almost said screw it lets order pizza, but I had 2 crackers with cheese to get me thru (shoot have to add this - might have been over on macros after all - nope still a good day, 32mg over on sodium 12g over on fat). Pasta and sausage planned for tonight - fitting it into my macros and adjusting the usual recipe down to half box of pasta and adding more sausage. But I know I'm still having at least 1 night a week that we eat pasta so I just gotta figure out how to make it more work for the long haul. Again, progress not perfection! Also a reminder to myself that sodium is slightly over today, and with two days of crazy losses the scale may bounce back tomorrow - that is not defeat! My goal was under 210 so I'm hoping to achieve that goal tomorrow, even if it means a slight gain from today.
4/27 - 207.4 - Wow no gain from yesterday! I'm a bit surprised but happy to know I'm able to do it this way. Small changes, still enjoying the things I like. Pasta night was delicious and I did not over indulge. I skipped the bread stick so I could have a small dessert treat. Balance! Goal smashed! 5.2 lbs. Lost overall in my first round. Which is normal for me in the beginning - huge loss for a week or two then I start to slow down. Although I've never weighed this much so it will be a learning process yet again. Feeling positive! I just read through my 10 day comments and I am really proud of myself!9 -

Round 38
My 3rd round!
Round 36 - SW 167 EW 168
Round 37 - SW 168.2 EW 166.6
SW - 172 on 1/14/18
CSW - 166.6
CEW - 165
UGW - 130
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.
4/26 - 165.8 - Not too bad of an increase, I was expecting some. Walked for an hour last night and was under my calorie goal a little but dinner wasn't the healthiest. I hope to be able to bring it back down for tomorrow's final weigh in for this 10 day challenge. I have a 30 minute toning walk planned for today, water bottles filled and a healthy lunch packed, today's going to be a good day.
4/27 - 165.2 - I'll take this as a win. Had a good day yesterday, weather was beautiful. Hoping today's more of the same. Ready for round 39!

4/18--No weigh in. I'm taking this round off for TOM. Hopefully I'll pick up right where I leave off.
4/19
4/20--Just checking in so I don't get out of the habit. I ate WAY over my calories yesterday and don't even feel guilty about it. Just trying to get back in the groove today.
4/21
4/22--178.0 TOM was short and sweet so I'm back ahead of schedule! Very pleased to see a decrease since the last time I weighed in.
4/23--176.2 WOW!!! I haven't seen 176 since my wedding in 2009. Well, that's not true; I had braces for a year in 2013 and got down to 165, but that was very brief and I gained it all back as soon as the braces came off. Doing the happy dance today--I hope it sticks! I'm making that my goal for this round!
4/24--177 Well, I expected that. No worries.
4/25--177.6 Still not concerned; I haven't been doing anything differently and I expected a bounce back. Just keep plugging along!
4/26--178.8 Oh my.
4/27--178.2 I'm okay with this. I expected to take the round off anyways, and this is still a loss. I'm a little disappointed that it didn't stay lower, but I haven't been losing that fast so I really didn't expect it to stay in the lower range. Maybe next round!6 -

I can feel it in my arms, legs and joints. I hope I can shed it soon. I still managed to hold on to a one pound loss. Crazy.

Down 3 pounds! Not bad for a 10 day stretch of both good and bad food & drink choices and minimal & inconsistent exercise. Today will be a challenge to stay on track (hanging with a friend this afternoon, cocktails & dinner with a bunch tonight) but I'm determined to stay focused on making progress, no matter how small, and be ready to start Round 39 (my 2nd) feeling great.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/18 141.0
4/19 140.2
4/20 139.6 Well, I would have been happy to see this number at the end of the round. This may be the loss of "water weight" from re-starting weight loss after a long pause.
4/21 138.8 Well, this is very encouraging. Of course, I don't know if this is "water weight" or if my calories are set too low. My activity level can change from day to day and even week to week, and I'm nursing a toddler who takes in an ever-changing, impossible-to-know-amount-of-milk every day, so it can be hard to know my ideal calorie goal. Since I feel great and I'm not hungry, and it's only day 4 of the round, I'm going to keep on keeping on for now and see how things go.
I had a physical yesterday, and passed with flying colors. What a difference from the last time I was at the doctor's. I'd had several health problems that were hard to recover from. Looking forward to exercise, fresh air, good health, and weight loss!!!!
4/22 139.6 Had a big huge dinner last night; ate at maintenance. Have a brunch at a restaurant today; will try to do my best with accurate logging and not overeating.
4/23 139.8
4/24 139.8 Weighed an hour later than usual... not sure if that makes a difference.
4/25 139.6 I've been trying my best! I've been sticking to my calorie goal as much as humanly possible and eating at a deficit... it's not always easy!! (Daughter made delicious high-calorie brownies after dinner... after I was well done with my chocolate & calorie allotment for the day... Secretly gave my portion to hubby when she wasn't looking... so sad!... LOL.)
4/26 139.6
4/27 139.8 Based on how things have gone, I expected the number to be a tad lower. I think I may be dealing with some pre-TOM issues.6 -
I've had my fun the past 6 weeks (moving, house hunting, eating!), but I've reset my goals and am serious now about dropping another 20 pounds by the end of the year. At 1 lb. per round, that's reasonable and doable, especially as the weather improves, my life settles down, and I get back to walking & hiking & biking & weights.

GOAL: 149
4/18 - 150 - 1539
I was so good yesterday I was hoping for a little less.
4/19 - 149.6 - 1445
A little stressed today, waiting for seller's response to our requests re. house inspection. Aiming for lots of protein & reasonable good fats + a nice walk to fend off counter-productive urges.
4/20 - 150 - 1293
Normal bounce. I ate well yesterday and walked a bit.
4/21 - 149.6 - 1250
Good. I expect a bounce tomorrow - we had pizza for lunch today. Still possible to stay within calories, but sodium.... But that's fine if it happens. Have a lovely Saturday afternoon and evening!
4/22 - 150 - 2144
Yep, there's the pizza bounce, and I definitely did not stay within calories. That's fine - back to normal sodium levels today.
4/23 - 149.4 - 1313
Finally! I may make my goal for the round after all.
4/24 - 149 - 1451
Yes! Back on track. Now to keep dropping.
4/25 - 150.2 - 1104
Boo hiss. Maybe delayed bounce from the 22nd? Also I have a cold and have taken some drugs, so maybe water. Grrr. I'm adding my day-before calories to my weights to see if I see a pattern. My ave calories for this round are 1442, so I should be trending down.
4/26 - 149.4 - 1402
That's better. Maybe I can still hit 149 tomorrow. Seems like this shouldn't be so difficult after my long stretch eating at maintenance. Granted I'm not cutting by much, but still.... At least the weather is improving day by day so we can go out and play!
4/27 - 149.8 [goal 149]
Down 1.2 this round from last, but didn't hit my weight goal. Rather than be disappointed, I've reminded myself that I cannot control my weight, only my behavior, and I did hit my other goals, so all good. I've also decided to track even more data to try to understand how my fat cells react (or not) to what I'm doing. So this may be TMI for many people, but for anyone who's interested (and for my own education) I'm adding average calories and macros to my end-of-round summaries. Onward!

@marcvb35 I hadn't planned to go to my reunion either but changed my mind a few months ago. I'm so glad i did! I was "overweight" at 125 in high school but looking back at the few candid shots I have, I really didn't appear to be. I'll be happy at or below 135.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
4/18 138 Busy day today! Half day meeting today, community bingo tonight, and packing for the weekend. Leaving EARLY tomorrow for my 50 year high school reunion. 4 days away with no scale.
4/19 138 Weighed at 4AM instead of 6:30-ish. Good day yesterday. Already in the air and will try to post from the Baltimore airport.
4/20 No scale
4/21 No scale Awesome day helping the reunion committee and re-meeting many old acquaintances at a bar owned by one them. Great start to a fun weekend.
4/22 No scale Having a great weekend!
4/23 (7:12AM ET) Everyone is gone so I was exploring our little house and discovered a scale in the second bathroom. It is a Tanita and says I weigh 135.8. Now I’m curious to see what mine says tomorrow. Posting really late but have been on the move all day! When I got home at about 7PM PT my scale said 137.5.
4/24 136.5 on MY SCALE I’ll take it! Down 1.5# during a party weekend at THIS age! Here’s my secret-I took what I needed to make my BPC to start the day right, I offered to help where needed causing me to totally miss the appetizer table, made food choices appropriate to my meal plan, didn’t overindulge in adult beverages. One tequila shot (Friday) and one vodka soda each, Friday and Saturday.
4/25 136.5 Below initial goal but continuing on. I am thrilled. Cruising in 10 days. I CAN DO THIS!
4/26 135.5 Allergies!
4/27 137 ALLERGIES! Last night out to dinner with friends. Had a wonderful steak. Did not drink enough water.7 -

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
4/26 - 138.0 +0.80lb - stern word needed with my body today. Not happy this morning as feel its completely unjustified - can only out put down to TOM bloat (which has still not arrived - after the last few erratic months I am beginning to think that the menopause is starting - more joys eh ?). Oh well - will carry on eating to plan and let the scales read what they feel as any water retention/bloat will only be temporary
4/27 - DNW - day off work and totally forgot until after breakfast - although they way this round went probably better not to! Disappointed with this round - was all going so well.... Food today so far been ok so back on it tomorrow - fresh start with a new round 5 -
So after vacation, SO home for 6 weeks, not keeping up with JGM10 and super busy and stressful at work. I'm up a few pounds. Some will be water weight and drop off rather quick (I hope). Goals to meal prep, stay around 1500 calories and 15,000+ daily steps.

4/18--vacation
4/19--vacation
4/20--223.9 Just got back from vacation. Only a 3lb gain. Walked a lot and tried kayaking for the first time. Back at it today.
4/21--223.7 Was so tired yesterday. Did not drink a lot of water and did not eat that great. Going hiking this morning and out for dinner later today.
4/22--222.0 Went on a hike yesterday. There goes some of the vacation water weight. Working on getting water in today.
4/23--220.9 There goes the rest of the water weight.
4/24--220.0 Going in the right direction.
4/25--220.4 Slight bump. Kettlebell tonight.
4/26--219.7 Surprised about the drop considering I went to kettlebell yesterday after a 2 week absence, but I will take it.
4/27--220.9 I knew before I stepped on the scale that I would be up. Woke up sore from my kettlebell workout 2 days ago and from my chiro adjustment yesterday, so was expecting the water gain. This round was a success in that after I got back from my vacation I was able to get right to my eating plan. The diet break really helped me mentally. Kettlebell tonight.

4/19 / 236 / Within calories again by a smidge. I stuck with just my home-to-work and back walking rather than adding anything else to see if my knees feel better. So far, so good. Working from home today, so I'll have the flexibility to do whatever I choose!
4/20 / 236.8 / Weighed myself two hours earlier than yesterday, so I'm not at all bothered by the tick upward. I bounced on the trampoline last night and was able to go 8 minutes straight. This probably doesn't sound like much to y'all, but that thing kicks my butt! When I first got it, I could go about 2 minutes, then pause, then another 2 minutes, etc. After bouncing, I did stationary bike for another 13 minutes and called it good. Going to a baseball game tonight, which is hard with Celiac. I need to eat beforehand, but sometimes the timing makes that tricky.
4/21 / 235.6 / I like it! My knee is unhappy. I will take a couple of rest days.
4/22 / 239 / Wow. I had pho yesterday but 3.4 pounds gained? Bodies is weird.
4/23 / 237.6 / Back on the downswing after my catastropho.
4/24 / 236.4 / Still heading back down. Today is my birthday!
4/25 / 237 / Had a good birthday, but my allergies are flaring up, or it's a cold. Bah.
4/26 / 236.6
4/27 / 235.4 / Close to my goal of 235, but not quite!

@quiltingjaine @marcvb35 I hadn't planned to go to my reunion either but changed my mind a few months ago. I'm so glad i did! I was "overweight" at 125 in high school but looking back at the few candid shots I have, I really didn't appear to be. I'll be happy at or below 135.
I would go regardless of my weight if there was a 30 year reunion. remember I didn't even know I was chubby and still cant tell much of a difference in the mirror.1 -

Ate a salty restaurant lunch yesterday - first in 6 months! and over calories for for the first time in Months, but walked & forgave myself & put it in perspective- 200 calories over won’t “break the bank!” Pleased with this weight.
My important lesson, that I re-learned is my “addiction” is eating out. Back to only eating at home, happily, as I know it 1)insure my success, 2) makes me Healthier by far, 3) I’m happiest when I know what I’m eating and can track it accurately, 4) I feel physically much better, and 5) I’m happier!!!
GW for this round: 173.2
Thank you for another great round! See you in Round 39!5
