5/08- 129.6- Today was the day I FINALLY breached the 120s!!! I've been stuck between 130-133 for MONTHS. I was so excited when I saw the scale this morning. This is finally the milestone I've been working for! Now, to keep it up!
5/09- 129.8- Still holding on under 130!
5/10- 130.2- Not surprised... ate lunch out yesterday, didn't work out, and definitely retaining water like crazy.
5/11- 129.2- Yay! Going into the weekend strong. Looking forward to a lunch workout. I have a busy, busy weekend doing work around the house trying to get it ready to sell, so I'll be active for sure. Hoping to squeeze in a run at some point. I hope I can hit 128.something tomorrow.

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've been stuck losing and gaining the same 3 pounds for 2 months now. I am really hoping to finally break into the 140's soon.
5/09 151.8
I did my long run last night, and my muscles are a little sore so I think the gain may be water retention. I ate well yesterday, so Im not worried.
5/10 151.0
I am pleased with today's weigh in I am so hoping to be out of the 150's soon. It seems to take so long anymore.
5/11 149.6
What?!? I hope this isn't a fluke lol. I hate when I get a low weight, then it goes right back up the next day. What causes that anyway? dehydration maybe? I drank plenty of water yesterday, and went on a long run. I usually go up the day after a long run.

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)
Day/Weight/Comment
5/08 - 202.4 Can you guess who had a lot of salty food over the weekend? But no salt on my Margarita rim.
5/09 - 203.8 I hope this is a result of getting back in the chips and salsa and not drinking much water. So fun how dehydration makes you retain water (at least at first.) I feel bloated.

#37: 142.6 - 137.4 = -5.2
#38: 137.4 - 136.8 = -0.6
#39: 136.8 - 136.2 = -0.6
5/08: 136.8, Had a date last night which I cooked for. Chicken Scarpariello, roasted broccoli with EVOO, garlic, and kalamata olives, 3 cheese tortellini, sourdough bread, and wine. It was worth every bite!
5/09: 139.4, yep, I knew this was coming.
5/10: 138, better
5/11: 136.6, back to where I started this round. Now to stay on track while out on my date tonight. Wish me luck!6 -
Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me. Changed MFP setting 5/5/18 to 1/2# per week loss ~ within 10# of UGW, weight loss had stalled 3 months + was feeling hungry more often.
MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145 / no goal dates ~ I get there when I get there
Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14
My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

05/02: 154.5 Stuck with meal plans but Snacked. Too. Much. on almonds (before supper) & veggies straws (late evening). At least those snacks are out of the house.

05/03: 154.0 Fitbit 7,411 steps, 250+ 12/14 (spa night) & 25 floors. Stuck with meal/snack plan except finished snappea crisps for evening snack (unplanned) ~ net calories -208, sodium -358, fiber ok, sugar green, protein good & 15c water. Close enough for unplanned rest day (overslept alarm).
05/04: 154.5 Evening social event & self-control not so much... Oh well, oops. At least I got up from table to remove myself from further damage. No idea how to log some, used quick add... needless to say net calories, sodium & sugar all RED. 15c water anyway. Walked dog before work / 3.4 mi 59:49 pace 17:34 / happy dog & happy me.

5/08 -- 190.4 I know that I've been comfortably within plan, so this isn't bothering me. I'm just sitting patiently waiting for my whoosh.
5/09 -- 189.2 And there it is! I hope the bounce back isn't too bad this time; that's what really flattened me last round (no, it was nothing to do with toffee pecan ice cream, why do you ask?!)
5/10 -- 188.2 Finally back on track. I hope that my numbers drop for a few days more before I hit bounce back.
5/11 -- 187.2 The irony is that I'm not doing anything different from last round, when I struggled to hold even. This weight loss business is a long game.

5/08 / 259.0 / Here we go! I was so down about my last round that I decided to see how much I'd stalled out in my weight loss over the entirety of this attempt (from Jan. 16th). I thought, surely, with the time I spent out of state, my mother's death, and this past round I must be at least 5 pounds behind my "two pounds a week" goal. Shocker. No. I am still ahead, having lost more than two pounds a week on average. I know weight loss starts with water weight but it helped put the wind back in my sails.
5/09 / 258.0 / I have never really looked at my macros. I just count calories. By coincidence, my fat calories were high, protein was just below target and carbs were way low. You Keto people know where I’m going with this, right? I.Wasn’t.Hungry.

5/10 139.6 I expected to see a rise in the scale; glad it didn't go any higher than this. The last couple days have been rough, and logging went out the window. Went go-kart riding on Tuesday, and since then, *every* *single* *muscle* has been crying. So this is what it feels like for a 41-year old mom to go go-kart riding, LOL. I wouldn't call go-kart riding "exercise," but since every single muscle is crazy sore, I'm going to take a guess that they could be retaining some water. Going to get back on track today (not the go-kart track, LOL). Going to get back on track with logging meeting my calorie goals. Although my activity level has probably gone down, since I can't move any of these muscles!!! LOL.
I need some fresh motivation, so I'm setting up a reward. When I reach 137.2, I'm going shopping!

@tiabirdie56 and @DebCountsAll Thanks for the comments. Yes, you make good points, I am working on building muscle, too. I track my estimated bodyfat percent as well as weight and I have work to do for both.5
