Day/Weight/Comment
4/28 209.4 Ready. Steady. Go! Good luck to everyone in this challenge!
4/29 208.5 Not sure if this weight will stick around tomorrow because yesterday was a very busy day working with my DH rebuilding a shed at my mom’s. No breakfast, late small salad with some chicken for lunch, and just a small bowl of rice krispies for dinner because by the time we finished and got home it was just too late to eat much else and I was really tired. Did keep hydrated throughout day though.

4/29 - 121.7 I've learned from this challenge to expect a lot of ups and downs with the numbers. Decided that my goal for this round is to keep the high number under 124.

R39 SW: 196.2lbs
R39 goal: 191.8lbs
UGW: 143 lbs

4/28: 192.9lbs (-3.3lbs from SW) I feel good that my weight has dropped by 3.3lbs. I know that I put the effort in, but I feel really bloated.. So it feels extra nice that the numbers are moving in the right direction. My SW is from wednesday.
4/29: 194.0lbs (-2.2lbs from SW) I was so proud of myself this saturday because I didn't go over 1200kcal. I actually ate less than 1200kcal.. I usually losen up a bit and eat around 1500kcal on saturdays, but not this saturday! This has to be water weight. And this is why I usually only weigh once a week

4/28 309.8 (-0.0) (No loss today but no gain. Beautiful weekend in store for us so lots of outside time)

4/29 309.8 (-0.0) (So I think my body is planning to lose all 4.8 pounds of my goal on the 10th day -- seems logical, right?)

Round 39 GW: 176--my wedding weight!
Ultimate GW: 145ish

4/28:--178.8 I'm going the wrong way. The last few days I have been soooo hungry and going way over my calorie goals for the day. I don't know if its just because I just got through TOM, or I'm not getting enough protein, or what--but I need to figure it out and get back on track.
4/29:--178.8 Did a good amount of exercise yesterday and only ate back about 2/3 of the calories. Hopefully that will start to make up for my over-eating last week. Going to do some yard work today.

I'm back and looking forward to this round. After two months of disruption with moving, house hunting, eating out too much, loosening up my usual healthy food choices, not walking my usual 1-2 hours/day, and a generally high stress level, I'm finally getting back to my usual routine. We should be moving into our house 3 weeks from yesterday, and in the meantime I'm just trying to eat well and mindfully and within bounds and exercise when I can. Of course, I also hope to (finally) start losing regularly.

Goals:
Weight ~~ UGW - 130; looking for indefinite downward trend each round; hope for 148 this round.
Food ~~ 1548 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 15-25%, C 35-50%, F 30-45%

Weight 2/2015 - 218
Lost 68#, regained 12 (to 156) on metabolism reset 11/16-6/17. R37 end weight 151; ave calories 1703 (154 over estimated TDEE, so no surprise I've gained)
R38 end weight 149.8; averages-- calories 1420; carbs ~48%; protein ~21% ; fat ~31%

That's better! I went for a lovely walk yesterday at one of the city's beautiful parks. Today it's colder and there's a vicious wind, and I'm still trying to lose this cold, so won't be walking, but I've restarted doing body weight exercises and am off to buy some dumbbells in a few minutes. I sold my set when we moved but I miss the little boogers.

4/29 - 149.2 - 1849
A little bit of a blowout yesterday, but things average out. All good, healthy food, just a little too much of it. I don't think the weight bump is from the food, though -- too quick. I think it's water due to cold meds. We shall see.

UGW - 130

Day/Weight/Comment

4/28 - 164.0 - Well there's my goal weight in one day but I know this number won't stick around. Pretty sure my body is dehydrated this morning so I'm drinking lots of water today. Would love to keep this number but seeing it at the end of the 10 days will work for me if I do gain in tomorrows weigh in. I had a busy day yesterday and have a busy day ahead of me. Have to keep it healthy today.

4/29 - 165.4 - There's the gain I was expecting but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I'm happy with where my weight is at this point in time, and I'm learning to be ok with what the numbers on the scale say and what the size of my clothes are because I see differences in the mirror when I look at myself and I'm proud of the hard work I've done this far to get me where I'm at. When I truly get down to yesterday's weight (164) I'll be exactly 10 pounds lighter than when I started my weight loss journey! Hoping to get there by the end of this 10 day challenge and then I'll celebrate (with something other than food or booze ... a nice swim suit for this summer maybe?!)
