5/08 95.9 I honestly don't understand what is going on… I'm eating under calories, getting my running in but it's impossible to shift this weight! Driving me nuts!
5/09 95.6 I would get excited about it going in the right direction but the last 2 rounds I managed to creep under 95, got excited and put it back on, so now I'll be constantly on the lookout for the bounce back!
5/10 95.1 usual up and down… wish it was just down…

8/5 - 210 - gained after an indulgent bank holiday weekend! But had a lot of fun! Ready to lose it now
9/5 - 208.8 - still up 2lbs from last week, but already feeling better dropping some of the water weight from the weekend! Ready for a great day today and hopefully will get back down to 206.8 by the end of this challenge
10/5 - 206.6 - final whoosh after the weekend. Had a great day yesterday with my food, and I'm not feeling bloated any more today. I've been easing back into exercise with yoga each day, but need to step it up a bit for the rest of this challenge.

5/09 - 63.9kg (-0.2kg) - I feel that's undeserved but I've got a horrible cold so perhaps it's dehydration.
5/10 - 64.1kg (+0.2kg) - Expected. Re-hydrated and can only stomach carbs with this cold. 64.1 is ok. Looking to be in the 63s early next week once I am all better.

Well, I'm not organised to cut and paste my results for the last few days, but yesterday I was at 140.0 and today I think I'm 138.9. I think it's (hopefully) water weight from my marathon attempt on Monday (I dropped out at mile 18, but ran up to that point) then ate a LOT of pizza and ice cream.

Now have to think about adjusting my calorie intake as I've been aiming for 1800 cals a day to account for run training, but I'm now having two weeks 'recovery' and no running so don't really need that amount. I'm 5'8 and my goal weight is 135. I am hugely lucky in that I've never had a big issue with my weight - I'm usually around 142-144lbs, but the issue is I have a sweet tooth and make poor choices, especially when bored, stressed or tired. So I'm interested to see where my weight ends up if I cut out the crap and work out how to eat the right amount for the amount of exercise I do.

Went to the gym yesterday for the first time since starting marathon training and my upper body is in pain today! Still don't enjoy it as much as running :-(

Have a weekend coming up with my long-distance partner.. farmers markets will be visited.. will be a dangerous time for me as we LOVE drinking and eating, but he is having to watch his weight for a wedding later this month so perhaps we'll hold eachother to account.

In the meantime, the big challenge is getting through the workday without eating to stress/boredom eating, which is always my undoing.

I have a seafood salad to look forward to for lunch, and a Muscle Foods steak for supper, and cottage cheese if hunger strikes!

Good luck everyone with this challenge!

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.

5/08: 172.0; stayed within my calorie goal and exercised! Carbs were a little high though
5/09: 170.6; hip hop Zumba yesterday killed me! Stayed within my calorie goal and drank lots of water. Also was able to avoid the temptation of Carby snacks in the teachers lounge. Hooray for NSV!
5/10: 170.6; I’m just happy I didn’t gain! Did T25 in the morning and drank all my water. Went out to eat for dinner and had a very hard time trying to find something within my calorie limit and was pressured (not really lol) to have a beer. NSV: got a lite beer and only drank half and saved half my meal for lunch the next day

5/08 206.6 Good luck in this challenge, everyone! You can do it!
5/09 206.1
5/10 206.6 My usually dependable scale has gone wonkie today! When I first stepped on it, it gave me a reading about 5 pounds higher than yesterday…so I stepped on it again and it gave me a reading 3 pounds lighter than yesterday. I flipped it over to make sure nothing was sticking to it on the bottom…..but it was still giving me wonkie readings each time. So, I’m hoping it just needs fresh batteries. When I’m out and about today, I’ll pick some up. Hopefully I won’t be needing a new scale because I really like this one. Anyway, I’m putting today’s weight the same as my start weight for this challenge. Sleeping at my nurse daughter’s tonight to take care of her kids so no weighing in tomorrow AM. I’ll be back to weigh in on Saturday AM. Till then, be good everyone!

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
Round 38 –196lbs starting – 194lbs end. I went into this round kinda heavy. Not really counting this as a loss
Round 39 goal – would like to see at least one morning weigh in less than 190# - goal obtained but maybe went a little to far. 187.8lbs ending weight.

Round 40 goal. – consistency

5/8 – 187lbs – this is the second day at this weight. Had fried chicken for lunch in hopes of upping my calories. Ended up fishing instead of having dinner.
5/9 188lbs – had Asian buffet to make up for missing dinner. Also had beer instead of whisky. I think this is a good number. Hope it’s the same tomorrow

5/10 – A very good life long friend (almost my twin) who has the same tendency’s to over indulge in all of life’s vices passed away last night of a heart attack. Only 50 years old. All I can think about is our habits of over eating, Drinking, and smoking.

Thursday 10th - 72.4kgs I trained with the mma boys this morning and then went straight into a private session with coach. Both were tough but really good because it's so good to see how my game has improved. Tonight is Jiu Jitsu class and looking to try the stuff I learnt this morning. 8 days to grading but I'm confident with my skills and will be happy with any outcome. Making good food choices today and planned my meals for the rest of the week.

5/08 313.8 (-0.0) (My doctor is having me move to a low carb diet between 20 and 50 carbs. I've done it once before with success but then found my way back to white flour, sugar, and all of the other crap that seeps into my food choices. I'm looking forward to planning, focusing and dropping some weight. Would definitely appreciate any tips other low carb/keto folks have found useful.)

5/09 312.6 (-1.2) (First full day focused on low carb diet. Managed well. Not focusing on what I can't eat but rather on what I can enjoy.)

5/10 311.2 (-2.6) (Having done low carb before I know I'm going to hit a point where meat and protein doesn't sound appetizing and I just want a donut......focusing on planning, spacing out meals and making sure I'm focused on why I want to lose weight instead of just the task of losing weight.)

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.

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!

5/9 - 150.6 - 1256 (10-day ave 1732)
Good day yesterday! I cut my calories without feeling deprived, went for two lovely walks, and started packing. Feeling very positive - and the sunny morning doesn't hurt!

5/10 - 150.6 - 1315 (10-day ave 1653)
A little disappointed not to see a drop but, in fairness, it's only been 2 days since I cut back after a week + of higher calories and my 10-day average is still higher than it should be, so the drop will come. I feel much more in control.
