I can't find my original post in here to build off of what I already put in...but...

5/14 187...I seem to be gaining, but I know I'm doing my calories right, walking everywhere I can and lifting 3 days a week. I know it will take a lot of time and commitment. I did notice a bra that has previously been too small, now fits...so that's win!!!

Took a long uphill hike & felt great! AMAZING how much more FUN & PAINFREE hiking uphill is now without hauling 57.7 POUNDS up the mountain with me!! Must remember this.

Grateful for your hugs yesterday. I’m in a good place with food, exercise, sleep, and mind. Will know a lot more tomorrow.

I hope you all have a great day!

I'm in! Goal for this round is to try to get more water (I'm terrible about that), and hopefully lose a pound.

R39 164.8 --> 162.2 (-2.6)

Date - Weight (Comment)

5/08 - 162.6 (A bit up from yesterday, but enh, that happens.)

5/09 - 162.2 (Yesterday wasn't a fab day - not horrible, just not my best - and so I'm surprised to see it go down. No complaints though, lol.)

5/10 - 162.4 (Apparently we're just gonna hang out right around this weight for a few days. And I have a sneaking suspicion why.)

5/11 - 162.4 (Suspicion confirmed. Now to not let it get the better of me when deciding what to eat. LOL)

5/12 - 161.4 (Woot! Jumping down!)

5/13 - 161.4 (And thrilled with the steady weight, as we ate out TWICE yesterday.)

5/14 - 161.2 (Hooray, because I totally didn't consciously manage anything yesterday, as it was Mother's Day. My husband even made me a peanut butter pie - my favorite. I had to guess on the logging of that as I'm no baker. I also got a FitBit for mother's day though, so I'll be able to see if I should be at "sedentary" or "lightly active.")

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.
11/5 - 206.4 - really not sure what's going on, but I won't complain! Had a carb feast yesterday, after eating lower carb earlier in the week to try to get the water weight off, so I was expecting a gain on the scale. Maybe it will show later in the week, so I won't get too excited yet! Grateful to be part of this challenge and getting daily motivation from you all, thank you. Keep doing great!
12/5 - 206.6 - back up a little, but I’m not phased. I’ve been staying on track with my eating. Still need to up the exercise, but this is the first time in a while I’ve been consistently good with my eating, so I won’t be too hard on myself!
13/5 - missed weigh in. Ate out for brunch and dinner. Stayed within calories but both meals were high carb and probably lots of sodium
14/5 - 207.4 - gained a bit, that’s ok. Stayed within calories again today. Hoping to go back down again by the end of the challenge

Day/Weight/Comment

5/08 - 163.8 - A little bit of an increase but I was expecting it, I always gain a little when I don't drink enough water and the past couple days I haven't. Going to up my water intake today and get a walk in this evening. Wasn't able to walk yesterday like I wanted to, husband came home from work with a trailer full of mulch so I spent the evening weeding and laying mulch instead. Granted that's a work out of its own. Looking forward to this new round and getting that much closer to my ultimate goal weight.

5/09 - 163.8 - Been around this weight for quite a few days now so I'm hoping to see a drop soon. I've been getting well over my steps goal (10,000) the past few days and my food has been good, haven't been eating back any of my exercise calories. My water intake is down still though, for some reason I've been having a hard time drinking as much as I was which I find weird, you'd think I'd want to drink more as it's getting very warm out.

5/10 - 164.4 - Well crap! I wanted the scale to move and that it did but it went in the wrong direction... I think it's because I've been bad with drinking water the past few days, was a lot better drinking my water today though and my food has been good, even though I had to mentally slap my hand away from grabbing unhealthy snacks yesterday. Kicked myself out of the house so I wouldn't munch. I'm hoping this number won't stick around too long, fingers crossed. Getting a walk in this evening and and have a healthy dinner planned out.

5/11 - 162.6 - There's the drop! Glad yesterday's weight didn't decide to stick around and hopefully doesn't reappear. Drank lots of water yesterday, got a 40 minute walk in while the kids had soccer practice and enjoyed my healthy dinner. Starting to plan weekend meals now so I don't ruin my hard work and and can meet my goal for this round.

5/12 - 160.4 - I don't know where these big drops are coming from but please continue! I've reached my goal at this weight but I'll wait a day or two and make sure it's going to stick around before I set a new goal for this round. Today's been good so far, lots of water, healthy breakfast and lunch but I have a wedding to go to tonight so hopefully I can resist some of the badder but oh so yummy foods. Hope to see a good number tomorrow by continuing good choices today.

5/13 - 160.4 - I'm expecting to see an increase in the next couple days as the food at the wedding was delicious (though I really didn't over eat and I stayed away from dessert) and the open bar was even better so I'm sure the mixed drinks but my over my calories limit. I did do some dancing so hopefully that burnt some of the drink calories off. I was thinking about setting a new goal but I think I'll just try to maintain this weight for the rest of this round. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the mothers on here!!

5/14 - 160.4 - Busy day, continuously hungry, storming outside. My bed is calling me.

5/10 -128.8 - Yesterday over calories thanks to medicinal insomnia sugar in the middle of the night, other than that it would have been a reasonable day. 10K steps and got a walk at lunch.
5/11 - 128.8 - Yesterday under calories, super tired, to bed early and slept 9 hours yay!
5/12 - 129.4 - yesterday over calories with too much sugar after dinner Badly done!

Goal: Release 2 lbs per round. I won't reach my goal of onederland by Memorial Day weekend with this goal, but I'd rather reach it late than never!
Ultimate Goal: 175 lbs, reevaluate at that point

May:
8: 208.5... I'm down 7.4 pounds of water weight since I started a few days late last round. I'm feeling really good about being back on track!
9: 208.5
10: 209... Not bad considering the late, high sodium dinner and low water intake for the day.
11: 206.9... Did really well yesterday. Plenty of water, and I think drinking a homemade iced vanilla matcha latte every morning is helping with the weight release.
12: No weigh in today. Left home way too early in the morning for my daughter's soccer games over an hour away. I'm not off to a great start foodwise, but I don't feel the need to go overboard just because I've started out eating gas station food. I feel like that's a victory for me. I may end up a little over my calories, but I'm going to try not to.
13: 207.5... I'm guessing this is at least partially normal fluctuation. I've been on track with calories and water. I'm not concerned, especially because this weight is nearly a 3 pound loss this round already.
14: 207.9... I think I figured out the small upward trend. TOM in a day or two, and I always gain a little before and drop after it starts.
