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.
4/30:--178.0 Headed back in the right direction. Stayed active this weekend and ate at a deficit both days. Weekends are easier for me.
5/01:--178.0 Glad it stayed; I overate yesterday by quite a bit, and today I feel bloated and tired. Yuck.
5/02:--178.8 Stuck in this range but I feel better today. It's amazing how much my diet contributes to my mood.
5/03:--178.6 No progress at all this round. I've been over my calorie goals nearly every day, so I guess I'm happy that I'm not going back up! We'll see how I do with being out of town and on the road the next few days.

•4/28 - 206.6 - Back to this smh. Maybe I'll be on a crazy type of plateau for a while. Still retaining a lot of fluid. If this culminates in a whoosh, it better be awesome. Lol
•4/29 - 205.2 - I lost a little bit more bodyfat too! Weighing everyday can be useful during the fat loss stage, because it provides more information on your body's fluctuations from exercise, sodium and water consumption. In my case, even though I was already knowledgeable about all of that, it's still stressful. Not a good thing when you suffer from adrenal fatigue. Anyhoo! I truly find that for me, daily weigh-ins are more beneficial during the maintenance phase to keep me from eating foods that I know are going to make me gain. And I'm not talking about an occasional dessert or glass of wine, I'm talking bread and grains.
•4/30 - 204.8
- Yes! I like seeing this number and yes, still retaining water.
•5/1 - 203 - I never got back here this morning to make a comment. Yes, very happy that it is another day of weight drop. Tomorrow, not sure about. I suffer from TMJ and last night it rose it's ugly head. I won't be able to eat a thing, so I've been working on what I could possibly drink to get in SOME nutrients today. My coconut milk avocado smoothie made with spinach and protein powder mixed with raw greens powder won't put me over carbs. It will provide plenty of vitamin A and C but not even half of my daily calories, not enough protein or fat. Gonna be a rough day, but hunger won't be a part of it. Recently, I have not been hungry until 3 or 4pm. I intermittent fast, 16:8. First meal at 4 is 20 hrs. I've been thinking about trying OMAD, one meal a day, but I just don't think I can eat my daily calorie allotment in one hour.
•5/2 - 204.8 - Revisiting this number. Not much jaw pain today, but still pressure, a headache and neck pain. Thanks TMJ! I made it through yesterday on a nutritive drink made of protein powder mixed with greens powder, an avocado and several TBS of peanut butter. Really sad. I miss my salad and vegetables. I think I'll try some scrambled eggs today.
•5/3 - 204 - Feeling much better today

4/28 145.6 had 23,000 steps yesterday. Someone wrote on here calorie deficit is key. And that’s my hardest!
4/29 144.8 wanted ice cream but didn’t have it ate calorie deficit had 18,000 steps
4/30 144.8 I put all my food into MFP and it really helped me not eat so much! We can do this.
5/1 144.8 used MFP and it’s getting so much easier to use with time. Amazing how much I over ate no wonder I wasn’t losing weight! Walked hour.
5/02 145.6 ate more carbs and salt yesterday. But still kept under 1590 calories and walked an hour. Little frustrated.
5/03 145.8 had 26,000 steps and ate under 1590 calories but still up on weight. Oh well it’s only .28 -

I'm back in (stopped logging mid challenge last time). I am just trying to work to be under 140 consistently AND to stay on track with not overeating and getting regular exercise. I am the same weight I was at the end of July 2017, so I see that I am struggling for almost a year to stay around the 140 mark. I get into the 130s and then I go on vacation or away for a day and downward spiral with the eating. The good thing is that I haven't steadily climbed up. This is work though. I think my warning siren goes off at or near the 150 mark for me, so I do need to keep getting on that scale and paying attention to how my clothes fit.9 -
Round 38 was a success!
Round 38: SW 159
Round 39: SW 150.5
Goal for R39: -2 lbs
Boundaries for R39:
- No manmade sugar;
- No yeast aka bread and alcohol;
- No oil aka nuts, chips, cheese, meat;
- 30 minutes of exercise;
- 10k steps.
4/28: 154.5. It was a good day. Food was spot on and logged.
4/29: 150.5. Walk in the kitchen. Mowed yard. Lots of errands. Food choices were good. Just had a lot of quantity. Still a good day.
4/30: 150.5. No morning workout. Cramping badly today. Bike on trainer. Did not make 10k steps on the pedometer. But that's because it was sitting on a table for most of the day. Good eating day.
5/01: 150. Morning workout. Walk after dinner. Steps 11k+. Good eating day.
5/02: 150.5. Morning workout with weights. Tired this morning. And honestly a bit bummed that I’m not seeing the losses that I did last round. *Sigh*. Forgot my fitbit again today. But got in steps at lunch and with the morning workout, I'm sure I was >10K. Eating may have been a little bit more than my recent normal but it was within my boundaries set. All logged. Can you eat too many grapes and cauliflower?
5/03: 150.5. Holding strong onto the 150s. No morning workout. Needed the extra sleep. Need to find a trainer and start weight lifting...

4/28 83.8 kg
Yesterday I drank some beers so there might be something with water I don't know. Tomorrow weight will be more precise.
4/29 83.5 kg
Yesterday was good except chocolate soufflé. Still, I was under my calorie and I walked 7880 steps which is good for a Saturday.
4/30 82.9 kg
Yesterday was good. I walked 7870 steps and eat all my calories and extra calories from walking too. However nearly 1 kg difference in two days really weird it must be about water I should log my water too and drink more. And also I'll probably have my period tomorrow so maybe it's about that, not sure...
5/01 82.7 kg
Wow still going down. Yesterday was ok. I passed my calorie limit a little and ate two cookies. I walked 6900 steps, which is not enough.
5/02 82.6 kg
Yesterday was not bad actually but, I ate the dinner very late and it was a falafel wrap so it's not the best choice. Still, I was below my calorie limit. I walked 8400 steps which is not enough. This week my steps are really bad actually. Last week I walked much more than this.
5/03 82.3 kg
Yesterday... I don't know. At afternoon, I couldn't eat enough because of feeling sick. But at night, I was with my friends and went a bar, so... I drank 2 small (33 cl) beer however, I was below my calorie limit.

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%

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.
4/30 - 149.6 - 2102
Still getting over this stupid cold and I know I'm retaining water, although I drank gallons yesterday. And I overate yesterday (although it's not as bad as it looks since I did walk for 70 minutes). It's ok.
5/01 - 149 - 1990
Surprised I lot a little (for now). I can't seem to stop eating - and I'm not fighting it too much since I'm still sick - just a cold, but a sinus headachy coughy one. I kind of think my body needs the food for healing. Maybe I'll just sleep all afternoon and see if that helps!
5/02 - 149 - 1792 (past 7 day ave 1667)
Interesting. I've been eating more than usual but seem to be pretty much holding steady. I have been walking most days, so that must be it. Fine by me! Another beautiful day here and I'm headed out for a walk at one of the beautiful city parks.
5/03 - 149.8 - 1762 (past 7 day ave 1718)
Yep, that's fair. I did walk an hour yesterday, fast, so net calories were lower. Still fighting off this chesty, hacking cold/cough, and I feel like I need to eat. I'm not eating junk, so I'll just go with it until I'm better. I keep reading your entries for inspiration & reassurance

4/28: 220.4 Tough kettlebell workout yesterday and then came home and went on a 1 hour walk with husband and the dog. Massage today!
4/29: 220.0 Worked on getting my water in yesterday which I find much harder to do on the weekends. Had a great massage yesterday. Hoping the weather holds up so that I can get a long walk in today.
4/30:220.9 Had chinese food yesterday, so I'm not surprised about the jump due to the increased sodium. Went for a 2.2 mile walk yesterday. Allergies are killing me today, so no kettlebell
5/01:--221.1 More water retention from left over chinese food. Calories were good, so now I just wait for the water weight to leave. Drinking a lot of water today.
5/02:--221.3 Ugh. I am assuming that is still some water weight. I have been really good in getting my water in the last couple of days. Allergies under control today, so kettlebell tonight.

4/30 142.4 ~ (Steps 10,325) I spent the day with my grandkids, son and daughter! I was able to keep under my calorie goal plus hit the gym before they close.
5/01 143.3 ~ (Steps 21,968) I did keep under my calorie goal just wasn’t the healthy meals,

Day/Weight/Comment
4/28 144.4 ~ (Steps 16,689) - Yesterday was an extremely day with my exercises and my food...We went out to eat for lunch and dinner but my healthy choices made the difference in the scale...
4/29 142.7 ~ (Steps 14,275) Longgggg day but I didn’t emotionally eat which was a plus in my book,
4/30 142.4 ~ (Steps 10,325) I spent the day with my grandkids, son and daughter! I was able to keep under my calorie goal plus hit the gym before they close.
5/01 143.3 ~ (Steps 21,968) I did keep under my calorie goal just wasn’t the healthy meals,
5/02 144.3 ~ (Steps 19,613) again with the scale going the wrong way

Trust the process Grandma Jackie It has to be water retention if you're following your plan. Just give it a few days and I am sure it will drop off and likely more. *hugs 3 -

R39 goals - to stay focused this round - although away next weekend in a beautiful country house on a work event - although it will involve exercise and activities over the weekend too so damage limitation is the aim!
Aiming for 136 something at the end (which for me will be Friday 4th )
Round 39 start weight - 138.00
4/28 - DNW
4/29 - DNW
4/30 - DNW
5/01 - 137.70 -0.30lb. Been a crazy few days and just didn't get round to weighing. But am pleased that now I have weighed I am down slightly from my starting weight so all in the right direction. Especially pleased as I didn't track my food over the weekend - used my common sense and did have a few treats but tried to stay in control - will count this as a success!!!
5/02 - 137.0lb - down another 0.70lb. Seem to be back on track this week, feeling good and more to the point motivated! Almost at my lowest weight for nearly 20 years (hit 136.4 for a day some rounds back!) and it feels to good to look at MFP and see the weight graph on a definite downward trend. Hoping this feeling continues ....
5/03 - 137.50lb - back on the see-saw again! Not too bothered though - very happy with where my weight is in general at the minute - and as we all know, daily fluctuations are all too common! Good wholesome food day today and gym session tonight. Tomorrows weigh in will be post homemade burger tonight (lean meat, wholemeal bun and stuffed full of veggies so all in plan!)..... and my last for he round as we head away for the weekend although a weekend of activity - high ropes and canoeing on Saturday and a 14km mountain hike on Sunday - so hopnig it will counteract some of the food!

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.
4/30 208.5 hmmm…..it did stick around. Yay!
5/01 208.1
5/02 208.6 I like to graph my weight loss, and my graph looks like a rickety old staircase with risers and treads. As long as that staircase is heading down, it’s all good. So it would seem that for the past 4 days, I’m hanging out on a tread. I’ve heard some people refer to this as a mini-plateau. Anyway, I’m doing really good eating within my calorie goal, and no mindless snacking, and from past experience with weight loss I know I can linger on a “tread” for anywhere from 3 to 7 days. Then I have a drop. I just hope this holds true this time around. Have a nice day, everyone!
5/03 207.8 Yes!...a number under 208 something. I'll take it!

5/1 / 235.4 / I ate like crap for two days. Too much stuff of unknown provenance, too much salt, little to drink, stress coming out my ears. I'm shocked this isn't much higher.
5/2 / 235.4 / A better day. Husband having a stress test right now. I'm stressed enough for both of us!
5/3 / 235.4 / A better day again. As I posted earlier, my husband came through his stress test with flying colors, so that's a huge relief. My eating has been pretty decent. It's unusual for me to have the same weight three days in a row, but honestly I'm just pleased to be hanging in there this week! Thank you so much for being there in this thread. It's supportive just seeing those likes and hugs!

5/3 - 214, Another beautiful weekend coming up. We'll have more people at the lake on the weekends going forward. Hoping I can stay on track if we have a houseful or not.
I absolutely love being at the lake (any lake), it's so calm, peaceful and non stressing. I always get great exercise but I do find myself wanting to snack more at the lake than I do at home.
I'm lucky enough to live here full time. We moved here last fall. However, we bought a fixer upper and have been living in construction so it is a little stressful. Everywhere I look there is something that needs to be done. I'm hoping I can establish a routine that includes lots of walks and I'd really love to get a canoe or kayak. I can't think of anything better than a morning paddle around the lake!7 -
Day/Weight/Comment
4/28 207.0 - Chinese food/sushi early dinner, definitely not enough water. 242 over on cals
4/29 208.2 - Water could have been better - 400 over on cals because I skipped breakfast and was ravenous. Woke up pretty grumpy, not sure if PMS or Chinese food hangover. Did some grocery shopping for MIL - dropped stuff off and she made pizza. Need to get in the habit of having my breakfast smoothie on weekends too.
4/30 209.0 - Not surprised based on my eating habits and less than stellar hydration this weekend. Water water water today.
5/01 206.8 - Starting to see patterns in my weight gains/losses. Up over the weekend into Monday, with a drastic drop Tuesday if I'm good on hydration. Worked very hard on hydration yesterday and ended up around 100 fl.oz. Kept snacking at bay while cooking last night. Was due to go out for lunch with a friend today, plans cancelled and I have no lunch! Need to make some wise decisions on the fly. Low carb dinner, philly cheese steak stuffed peppers, so I have some wiggle room, but that doesn't mean hit the drive thru!!!
5/02 206.2 - Another 100 oz day for water yesterday - at work I have no problem hitting water goals. I need to track the weekends, thats where I need to improve. Panera for lunch fit into my macros with a cup of blackbean soup, half a turkey avocado bacon sandwhich on sourdough, sub mayo for hummus, and the bag of chips even fit in my day! I'm painfully frugal sometimes, so I almost got a Wendys chicken sandwhich (which was about the same cals + more sodium than all of my panera food) because it was cheaper. I reminded myself this is an INVESTMENT IN MYSELF, and spent the extra $4 at panera. Walk around Pearl Hill about 1 mile. Philly Cheese steak stuffed peppers are delicious and should remain a staple, half my expected portion filled me up. I passed out before I even though to eat my dark chocolate. A low cal day for me at about 1200 compared to my usual 1500-1600.
5/03 205.4 - I noticed yesterday that this challenge ends on a Monday - that will be a real test for me over the weekend. I typically see my biggest gain on Monday before a whoosh on Tuesday. Given the number I see today though, I'm confident that with some fluctuations I can still meet my goal of 206. It will be great to improve my water intake this weekend and see if that helps too with the weekend gain. Although, I know that my eating habits on the weekend tend to be a little more indulgent, so I'm going to have to find some balance with that as well. Could be as simple as better planning, perhaps? I'll make sure to have my smoothie for breakfast both days this weekend. I took some progress face pics today, and wowzers! Eyes are way less puffy, skin is glowing, I can already see a difference in my cheeks/chin - need to do some full body ones, as much as I dont want to. I'll wish I had done it later on. ETA Grumpy sunday was BOTH PMS and chinese food hangover. TOM, we will see how this affects the scales, usually lots of water retention - so be kind to yourself!

I guess today's Day/Weight/Comment decided it wasn't posting this morning and I just realized but here it is...
5/03 - 163.6 - I was actually expecting a gain not a loss today as I did some snacking on chips and cheese dip yesterday and while dinner was small is wasn't the healthiest. I'll take the loss today though and just remember where the gain comes from if I do gain tomorrow or Saturday, which is most likely when I'll see those chips come back to haunt me. No snacking today and hopefully get a walk in before or after the storm that's suppose to happen today.6 -

I finally joined a late night snacking accountability group yesterday and it took every ounce of will power I had to not give in last night. Finally stepped up my water game yesterday and stayed within calories. My food diary for yesterday is 100% accurate, I tracked every bite and ounce. This is some pretty good motivation to stay focused!
