Day/Weight/Comment
5/08 205.2 - Ah yes, the Tuesday morning drop. Was good on water yesterday. Calories were set to be on target but I could not resist the bag of oreos. I had 2, then wanted to eat more, so I had 2 more. Logged it and moved on. I was exhausted from a super busy weekend and crashed early. I was a little disheartened this morning at the thought of eating the same lunch yet again. So, I'll be brainstorming some new lunch and snack ideas so I don't stumble back to fast foods. Dinners have not changed too much other than subbing out refined carbs for better grain choices; low carb multi grain tortillas, quinoa, etc. Tonight I'll make a big batch of thai quinoa salad and DH will grill a few pounds of chicken and sausage so we have a few days lunches as well. Scales may not move tomorrow but I suspect if I'm good on hydration there should be a downward trend toward the end of the week. Remember, slow steady loss is good! Don't get ahead of yourself, just one day at a time. Possible mini vaca to visit dad in FL with DH in June, so that is more motivation to stick to my June goal.

I'm considering this round a pivot point since it ends on our move-into-new-house day. I've been lax in my calorie limits, and that's going to stop. I've reset my allowance and am dropping most bread from my diet. I'm also finally getting back to regular walks and weight training. I'm not keen on weight goals since I can't control the scale, but I'm determined to stick to my eating and exercise goals now and will hope to drop a pound per round (3/month) with an eye to hitting my UGW by early December.

Goals:
Weight ~~ UGW - 130; looking for indefinite downward trend each round, ideally 1 pound/round.
Food ~~ 1350 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. R39 end weight 149.8; averages -- calories 1753.5; carbs ~47%; protein ~20%; fat ~33%

First day, new round, revised approach. I'm up a little, no surprise, but I've finally shaken off this horrible cold and most of the cough, so I feel more like walking/exercising. Yay! Happy to see you all!

I started this challenge at round 27, at 227.8. I ended round 38 at 194. That is a 33 pound loss! I love this challenge! It goes against everything I USED to believe about weighing in daily, and has taught me to really listen to my body, not get discouraged by small set backs, and to celebrate the small victories!

Round 40 SW 292.8 My goal is to finally make it to the 180's

I'm back. Hope you all are doing well!

Haven't been posting here for a few rounds, and does it show.

Honestly, I had stalled in my efforts for a while around the holiday period and then I got bad at tracking after the new year. Job change (voluntary), adult children drama, unexpected trips were all contributors (a.k.a. excuses.) I had gained about five pounds back then BAM another five piled on in a matter of a couple weeks. When I stepped on the scale and saw I had crossed over 200 - which I said I would never do again - I knew it was time for daily weighing. I am still over 25 down from my start; this is the start to the next 25!

Starting weight after Cinco de Weekendo = 205.5 (lot of H2O)
