End Round GW 92.8kg

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 94.8kg Had a birthdayparty without a real dinner, just snacks....
5/29 93.7kg (-1.1kg) I lost the kilo I gained between Sunday and Monday hahahaha. Walked 9000steps
5/30 93.4kg (-0.3kg) Worked, walked 8000 steps and ate 300 kcal too little.
5/31 93.1kg (-0.3kg) Had a blèhhh day, worked, walked 8500 steps and had a good night sleep!
6/01 93.0kg (-0.1kg) Still blèhhh, walked 7500 steps. Tricky part starts where I loose weight and think I can eat something extra...... Oh boy, I need to keep strong!!
6/02 92.8kg (-0.2kg) Had a good walked, walked less, only 6000 steps, but stayed strong and left the snacks in the cupboard!!
6/03 92.5kg (-0.3kg) I'm suprised! Went out for dinner (on my bike), made good choices but there was a whole lot of oil on my plate and I couldn't estimate and log all the kcal. Had a fair amount of steps 9.500. Hope to keep this flow going. I desperately want to get under the 90's!!
6/04 92.7kg (+0.2kg) Had a lazy Sunday, although I walked 9000 steps.
6/05 92.9kg (+0.2kg) This is not going into the right direction..... Stayed in my kcal goal, hardly any exercise.
6/06 93.3kg (+0.4kg) No idea where this comes from! But I won't let it swipe my of my feet. See you all in round 43!!

5/29 163 lbs
5/30 163 lbs
5/31 162 lbs
6/01 162.4 lbs puzzled why it happened even though I was under calories.
6/02 163.2 lbs. Might be high sodium food yesterday and surplus 200 calories. I ran after a long time but as obvious you can't outrun a surplus diet.
6/03 162 lbs whoosh effect?

6/04 163 lbs no wonder! Had a family birthday party ate some cake,icecream and chicken, over by 250 calories and sodium bit high. Just want 1 lbs down this round, so today kept calories under and walked 14000 steps for damage control.

6/05 72kg
6/06 I'm definitely below 72 today, so I'm gonna call it 71.8kg

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28: 181.2 Good to start the challenge with a drop.
5/29: 181.0 I'm still at the very beginning of this journey, but I'm starting to make actual progress. Finally seeing a difference in my mirror.
5/30: 180.6 Excited to think about breaking through 180 and get into the 170s for the first time since 2013.
5/31: 180.4 Slow and sure this round.
6/01: 180.4 I always seem to slow down coming up to a goal. Come on 179.x!!
6/02: 181.0 Huh. Hopefully this means that my body is gearing up for a whoosh.
6/03: 180.0 Goal, though it doesn't feel like it. I still really want that 179 number.
6/04: 179.8 Not expecting to see this number tomorrow -- my scales is enjoying messing with my head right now.
6/05: 179.0 A good surprise. Now to hold on to the win.
6/06: 179.2 That's how this round has been, a fight for every ounce off.

I reached my goal and passed it this round, but this round didn't *feel* like a success. I struggled for each tiny loss, and I slipped back so many times that each new number didn't feel like a win any more. Hope next round is more straightforward.

5/31--135.... Got on scale rather than looking at my muscle/fat etc. And shocked myself cause 135-140lbs is my biggest-not being careful weight. As in I start feeling thick and stuffed. I thought I was around 130! Goodness me. I'm still surprised about it.
6/01- 134.4
6/02- 132.2 is it possible to lose 2 lbs in one day? I always weigh myself more than once.
6/03- 132.4 Ate at Archies yesterday. Didn't go over calories but it probably doesn't help fat!
6/04- 132 Yay!
6/05- TMI but I was a little constipated and really didn't want to see the number .... rofl!!

I feel like I'm gaining muscle and that's very much a plus, even though it means losing less weight. The idea is to feel fit in the end, so I'm definitely reaching that goal!

5/28: (No Scales)
5/29: 102.6kg/226.2lbs – I’m back from holiday and back at work, managed to lose a couple of pounds too which is a bonus. My goals for the holiday were to maintain marathon training and to make positive food choices, and I smashed both goals! Really happy and somewhat proud of myself although it is incredibly hard running in those heats! Lunches all prepped for the week and ready to roll!
5/30: 102.3kg/225.5lbs – I’m sat at work hungover. Eurrgh. Positive note my weight is still going down! Meals all prepped and today is a rest day for me so no running or gym.
5/31: 102.3kg/225.5lbs - No complaints from me, woke up at 6am hoping to go for a run however I still appear to be really tight from the gym on Tuesday. I’ll stretch out and try again this evening.
6/01: 101.5kg/223.8lbs – Destroyed myself in the gym last night and then decided to run 8km on the treadmill, I must really hate myself… Legs are so tight today, couple rest days would be nice but I’ll be back in the gym tonight.
6/02: 102.0kg/224.8lbs – Rest day today.
6/03: 102.0kg/224.8lbs – Managed a 11km run, should have been 12 but my app was playing up.
6/04: 102.3kg/225.5lbs – Standard bit of yo-yoing, this will probably drop with a couple days of proper water intake.
6/05: 101.9kg/224.6lbs – Happy with this! Felt extremely low yesterday which led me to handing my notice in at work, shame it didn’t work out but I won’t compromise my happiness, even if that means finding another job. Eurgh. I did feel weirdly relieved afterwards though.. Onwards and downwards.
6/06: 102.4kg/225.7lbs – I did not need this today – I had a cheeky nandos last night and ice cream as I was feeling down but I did run that morning so I’m hoping this is sodium retention. Overall a loss of 1.1kg/2.4lbs but I’m greedy I wanted more!

Sidenote: this is probably the correct amount I should be losing per round, I’m just feeling moody.

Overall loss (end of round) – 32.6kg/71.9lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 - 63.6kg (-0.8kg) - I ate my body weight in sourdough on Saturday so the scale is showing a bit high. I am expecting a quick drop at the beginning of the round into the 62s then it should slow down a bit. Working towards getting back into the 61s this round where I haven't been since R36!
5/29 - 63.5kg (-0.1kg) - Hmmmmm. Guess that quick drop back to my weight last round that I was expecting decided to pass me by... TOM arrived as well which is perhaps playing a part.
5/30 - 63.4kg (-0.1kg) - C'mooooon. So slow.
5/31 - 63.2kg (-0.2kg) - Clearly consistency of my diet is shining though even when I had a pretty high carb day yesterday!

6/02
6/03
6/04 - 63.4kg (+0.2kg) - I've been oh so naughty! Not logging my food, not checking in here, eating whatever I wanted. But do you know what? Life is tough sometimes and I needed a break. More importantly, I'm back! Time to carry on

6/05 - 63.0 (-0.4kg) - I am trying to figure out what I did to deserve this loss. I finally got back to running yesterday and I can't believe how hard/good it was. I've lost a lot of my fitness and I have missed running so so much. Certainly not going to get to the outrageous goal I set for this round but I would love to get into the 62s tomorrow.
6/06 - 62.6kg (-0.4kg) - Hooray! I'm really happy with this loss, and even more so considering I had a bit of a hiatus this round. Down 1kg overall and 0.3kg on my average weight.

5/31 170.2; Ran and did well yesterday morning and afternoon, buns and brews killed me in the evening. But it was worth it!
6/01 171.0; friends were in town and it’s still that TOM. I’ve been enjoying myself a little too much. Lol! Back on track this weekend.
6/02 170.8; ate out a lot yesterday and started moving. Going to do some intermittent fasting today and continue moving to a new apt. Let’s hope this goes well!
6/03 169.8; IF and moving went well. But I ate horribly for dinner. May see some gain in the next couple days
6/04 171.4; my eating choices were terrible this past weekend. I enjoyed the time I spend with my friends and now I have to suffer the consequences lol. This week will be a reset for my healthy choices!
6/05 170.8; moving the the right direction!
6/06 169.4; still in the right direction. Gotta keep the momentum going for the next round!

5/31 – 188lbs – I ate so much yesterday??? This must be from my not eating right the other day. When I say not right I mean not nearly enough
6/01 193lbs – how is a 5-pound swing possible. Was it the hamburger the other night? Or my only meal yesterday before oral surgery. Pizza hut buffet
6/02 – 191lbs – I was so worried last night that I gained more weight. Stepped on the scale and I was 200 even
6/03 – 195lbs – tooth pain gone. splurged and had giant burger with double meat.

5/28 - 186.2
5/29 - 187.0.....Not a good start
5/30 - 185.2....OK, this is better. I'm serious now. No more fooling around. I've changed my goals and my menu
plan a wee bit, and I'm changing my attitude!
5/31 - 186.4
6/1 - 186.2
6/2 - N / A Down at the Marina with no scale - ate and drank in moderation.
6/3 - N / A Down at the Marina with no scale - ate and drank in moderation.
6/4 - 186.2 .....good start considering I had no scale for the last 2 days!
6/5 - 186.4
6/6 - 185.4......A good end to another Round.

My official weekly weigh in, is Tuesday evening @ TOPS, so my ticker tape will reflect that loss.

My daily weight is on my home scale, so I can monitor how my week is going.

My ultimate goal is 175lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 - 170.5 - My daughter took me to a wine and painting party on Saturday night and we had the family over for a picnic yesterday and today. I enjoyed some food I hadn't had since last Summer and I really have no regrets. I stayed very mindful of the amounts I ate and although I went over my calories I know this is a little blip due to family. I did not over-indulge as I have done in the past. I'm sure it will show up in the next couple days, but I'm hoping I can end this round at 169.5 since I saw that number a couple times last round.
5/29 - 171 - I was expecting this, but I'm back on plan today and I hope I don't go up anymore this week.
5/30 - 169.5 - Well, there went the water weight from the past few days. I may bobble up and down the next couple days, but I'm happy to have hit this number this early in the round.
5/31 - 169 - This is nice, but due to some unexpected blood test results, my Dr. has taken me off the water pills that were prescribed a few years ago for my high blood pressure. It will be interesting to see how this will affect my weight. I'll just have to make sure to track my inches.
6/01 - 169 - I'm holding steady for now.
6/02 - 168.5 - Well, this was a surprise!
6/03 - 168 - Another surprise. Although I've been eating below my calories, the weight usually doesn't move down this quick. I'm expecting a bounce up tomorrow, but I'm glad to see this number.
6/04 - 168.5 - I'm very happy I've held to the 168's this long. Especially since I haven't been taking my water pill. We do have family coming in from out of town tonight to stay for a week. I'm just going to keep on tracking, both good and bad, and hopefully maintain this weight for the next 7 days.
6/05 - 168.5 - Family came in last night. They ordered carry out from a local iconic burger joint. I ate my homemade salad and snagged one of my grandson's leftover onion rings. It sure tasted good, but knowing I was going to be logging it in my diary stopped me from eating the other two. I ended the day with 300 calories to spare. Now I just have to get through the birthday celebration at work today and my lunch with a client.
6/06 - 168 - I'm so happy that I surpassed my goal for this round! Over the last 3 rounds I've lost a total of 6 lbs, which averages out to about a pound and a half a week. These challenges have shown me that weight loss, for me, does not happen as a straight downward line. In the past, I would have become frustrated at bouncing between the same weight for 5 days at a time. I would give up on my food tracking since in my mind, it didn't matter. This daily accountability and camaraderie between other weight watchers has made all the difference this time. On to round 43!

Day/Weight/Comment

5/28 - 159.4 - Horrible way to start this round. My meals weren't bad, no snacking, lots of yard work and a late evening walk after dinner. Water intake was good too. Hoping this is just a slight rise before a nice drop the next day or two. Lots of outside work to do again today and it's going to be hot, so I need to remember to keep drinking water.

5/29 - 158.6 - Usually I feel a yes! Or ehh or oh crap! when I step on the scale but this morning I really didn't feel anything. Yes I'm glad that it's gone back down and yes I'm still really want to lose the weight and I'm not giving up on my healthy habits I'm creating but there wasn't no excitement at the scale this morning. Looking in the mirror and seeing a difference is what I mostly get excited about and I haven't been seeing much change so I think the lose on the scale isn't meaning as much. Will be taking measurements again next week so hopefully it shows results so I can get excited again.

5/30 - 157.0 - Saw this number last round but knew it wasn't true, this time around it might be a little more accurate. Ate a healthy lunch, played a bunch of outdoor games with the kids and had a light dinner. I did have a cupcake though for my son's 5th grade promotion at his school but I logged it and I was still good with calories. Hoping this is a true number as I'm approaching my mini goal date. Also I'm not feeling so meh about the scale this morning, yesterday must just of been an off day.

5/31 - 157.0 - Well it stuck around this time but might see a slight increase in the next day or two as I ate a cookie and some ice cream for a "party" me and my daughter had yesterday for it being the last day of school and then some homemade pizza for dinner. Don't regret it though as we had fun and it made the day special for her. I'll get back on track today though and finish out this round strong.

6/01 - 157.0 - Happy with this, now to see a drop tomorrow.

6/02 - 158.0 - Not surprised by this, not enough water yesterday, took the kids to lunch at Applebee's and didn't eat dinner till about 10:00 last night. Also I'm weighing about a half hour later than normal. Soccer games this morning and a cookout at a friend's this evening.

6/03 - 158.8 - ??!! So frustrating

6/04 - 158.8 - (((sigh))) and I've been exercising and eating well.

6/05 - 157.0 - Back to where I was mid challenge. Just seeing this number again tomorrow will be a win for me this round and I'll work on my goal next round.

6/06 - 156.6 - I wish but I weighed in later today than I normally do (I have the day off so I took advantage and slept in) so will expect an increase in tomorrows weigh-in. A great number to see on the last day of the round though, makes it look like I achieved my goal and makes me want to work harder to actually achieve it next round. Bring on round 43!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28--Out of town--Just checking in on everybody's progress! Got back tonight from our 3-day weekend trip; it was a belated birthday/anniversary celebration. We did some major retail therapy. We ate some really delicious meals and while I didn't log and I know I was over my daily calorie goals, I also made better food decisions than I would have a year ago. That is more important to me than measuring every calorie, because I am trying to change my eating habits for the rest of my life. I'm expecting to see a gain on the scale tomorrow, but I'm going to try to step up my activity level this week.
5/29--178.8 I was expecting this increase. I'm still going to try to get down to 175 this round!
5/30--179.0 Sigh...no excuses. I've been eating over my calorie goal and I haven't been very active. I did a lot of shopping over the weekend and was able to buy smaller sizes, so I need to remember that as motivation--my new clothes aren't going to fit if I keep going this direction! Pilates tonight.
5/31--178.0 Just hanging out in the comfort zone. I've been here for awhile....
6/01--178.0 At this point, I'll be happy if I get through the round right here. I had a meeting right after work last night and didn't have access to food, so I ate the provided food--pizza. I shouldn't be eating pizza in the first place because I am sensitive to dairy and wheat. Anyways, I went way over my calorie goal for yesterday and I feel yucky today. It's not going to get much better these next couple of days. I am on the leadership team for our local Relay for Life, which is tomorrow. I'm super excited for it, but I also know that my access to healthy food is going to be limited. Not to mention, it's going to be an insanely busy day at work today and I have a million things to do after work to get ready for tomorrow. Oy!
6/02--177.8 Happy to see this considering how many calories I've been consuming. I'm going to be running around like a crazy person for the next 16+ hours, so maybe that will translate into something good on the scale!
6/03--177.0 Go away, 177! Yesterday was fun and crazy and exhausting; no logging but I'm fairly certain I burned off any calories I ate yesterday. Now to get back to normal.
6/04--177.0 Stubborn.
6/05--177.0
6/06 --177.0 This round has been a dud, but at least I ended at the same place I started.

R42: SW 186.6 EW 182.0 (-4.6)
Day/Weight/Comment

5/28 – 185.8: This is surprising because I indulged in pizza and wings last night. I’m sure those will show up on the scale tomorrow.

5/29 – 185.4: I was so excited to get on the scale this morning! Went for an hour long walk last night, which was a victory for me. I’ve been really depressed for months and haven’t had the energy to do much. Really, really happy that I made the effort. Didn’t eat my exercise calories either. Glad to see a slight downward trend. I’m not the most consistent person in the world, so I’m really hoping that doing small chunks of time will work for me. Made good breakfast choices even though I went grocery shopping on an empty stomach. Good luck everyone for a healthy and active day.

5/30 – 185: Slowly, slowly the scale creeps down and I’m ok with that. Before this challenge, this slow drop would have driven me crazy. I’m still struggling with night eating. Trouble for me starts at about 4 p.m. when I start craving sweet things. I believe this is related to my Diet Pepsi addiction. I want to quit diet soda so badly, but I find it very hard. One step at a time. Wishing everyone a day of healthy choices!!!

5/31 – 184.2: Approached the scale with some trepidation this morning. I made the very mature decision to have cookies, candy and diet pop for lunch yesterday. Brilliant!! My eating age is 5!!! The only saving grace is that I measured the portions of each and managed to stay under calories. Another one-hour walk in the evening. It was so lovely – just around sunset. Love watching the world winding down for the evening.

6/01 – 184.0: I am grateful for the miniscule drop on the scale. With better planning I believe I would see better results. I am thinking about doing a “Booster Weekend” this weekend. (I made that up!!) What that will mean for me is raising me exercise time from one to two hours (one in the a.m. and one in the p.m.) and REALLY focusing on clean choices and staying well within calories. Anyone in for this mini challenge within a challenge?

6/02 – 183.4: Yay!!! Really grateful for this downward trend. Since yesterday was Friday, my usual start of weekend junk binging, I indulged in a few bad choices. The only difference is that I measured out a portion size and stuck to it. If the portion calories were high, I had half a portion. Still over calories for the day, and no walk, so I am very thankful (and surprised) to see the drop. Long may it continue!!!

6/03 – 183.6: An uptick. Expected because I ate dinner super late last night. I mean midnight late – that’s what happens when my husband cooks. Even though it’s expected, it’s still disappointing because I ate below calories and had almost 600 exercise calories. Ah well, onward …

6/04 – 183.2: Headed back down, thank heavens. I’m hoping it stays that way for these last three days. I really want to finish strong.

6/05 – 183: Grateful for the slow slide down – long may it continue. LOVE my morning smoothies, but HOLY CARBS!!! Good thing it’s the beginning of the day. Learning lots on this 10 day journey. Need to have a cut off for eating at night. I’m thinking 8:30 is reasonable for me. Will give it a go tonight and see if it makes a difference.

6/06 – 182: Yay!!! (Please stay!) So very happy to see this number on the scale this morning! Felt rather glum all day yesterday feeling that I should be dropping more in my first round since the start of weight loss is usually water weight. I know that the standard is 2lbs per week, but I really wanted a quick start before I settle into my usual slow weight loss pattern.

Round 42: SW 232.4; GW 231

5/28 / 232.4 / Very pleased to start this round with a loss from last round. I'm going to be experimenting this week making my version of bento boxes (pre-portioned items in separate compartments) for breakfast/lunch. So I can just grab one box and know it has a variety of items with a set number of calories. Ideas welcome, if anyone has done this. I like almost everything, but I have Celiac, so gluten is out.

5/29 / 231 / Most excellent! This puts me at 21 total pounds lost since I began in January. This was my goal for this round, but let's see if I can hold onto it!

5/30 / 232.2 / Boo to this bounce, but I know that I ate well and got my body in motion, so it's all good.

5/31 / 232.6 / Bouncing around but eating well.

6/1 / 231.2 / Still eating great.

6/2 / 230.4 / Missed a couple of days of posting, but I had all of you in my thoughts! Hooray for this weigh in, though I'm not feeling great today. I did mini protein muffins last night that weren't too bad, though they need some tweaking. Also pumpkin overnight oats for breakfast this morning that need some tweaking, too. I'm having pizza for dinner, so I expect to be at a higher weight in the morning if only for the salt.

6/3 / 231.6 / As expected, given my pizza fandango. TOM looms. I want to eat all the things.

6/4 / 231 / I'm surprised, frankly. I'm being a complete salt fiend right now, so I thought I would be puffed up like a pufferfish!

6/5 / 230.6 / I didn't sleep well and am exhausted. My weigh-in was much later than it will be tomorrow, so I suspect I'll likely miss my 231 goal for this round, but I'm pretty pleased that my TOM hasn't made me into a giant water balloon! Thanks to all for sharing their inspiring triumphs and, yes, their inspiring setbacks.

6/6 / 231 / This weigh in was 3 hours earlier than yesterday, so I'm totally stoked about hitting my goal!

5/30 193.4 happy dance!
5/31 192.4

Not sure why - but I'll take it and hope it sticks.
6/01 192.2 A workout and a walk yesterday BMI 35.1 So close to coming down from Obese level 2 to obese level 1. 1.2 lbs to go. Good motivation for the rest of this challenge!
6/02 191 its gotta be those thyroid pills, but i'm doing my happy dance BMI 34.9
6/03 192.8

No idea why - i was under calories and sodium - i am going to assume for now that its just a blip and carry on
6/04 191.8 Ate at maintenance yesterday. It was a tough day and I was on the verge of a blowout several times. Nice to have the maintenance option so I could snack and not feel like I failed. Today is my b'day so i may eat at maintenance again - having sushi for dinner.
6/05 195 Well dinner ended up being fish tacos and cookies. Delicious. Was it worth it - depends on how fast the weight goes back down. Todays word is FOCUS
6/06 194.2 So basically flat for the session - but a good learning opportunity

5/28 Monday - 200.8 I finally slept thru the night last night for the first time in a whole week with a hacking cough. Woohoo. Nice not to see a huge jump after a night out. I was ravenous today so I just ate. Homemade breakfast sandwhich, some flat iron steak for a snack, and homemade matzo ball soup for dinner - which will also be lunch for a few days too. Goal for this round is to maintain at or under 199 which is 1 week or so ahead of schedule. Leaving for mini vacation at the end of this round, good motivator. Need to get a bathinsuit!
5/29 Tuesday - 202.4 - Back to my pre-sickness weight. Thats fine - I'd rather have my health and 2 pounds than that miserable cold for one more day. DH is on the verge of getting it now, lots of EmergenC, bone broth, and encouraging him to drink lots of water. Knock on wood he can beat it! Having a hard time drinking my smoothie this morning, but it will be done. Time to start downing water myself! Leftover soup for lunch, popcorn and blueberry applesauce for snack. No idea on what to have for dinner yet, still pretty exhausted so I need to make a plan so I don't end up eating convenience foods. I took out some ground beef, so maybe koren beef?
5/30 Wednesday - 201.8 - Half way thru the week! DH is home sick today - fingers crossed that this shall pass a little more quickly for him. I was 202 at first waking, then 201.8 about a half hour later. I was weighing later in the day when I was sick because I was sleeping in - and after seeing @tiabirdie56 show how her weights flucuate in the morning I wonder If my body operates in a similar way. I'll keep an eye on that as I continue my journey. NSV last night - went bathing suit shopping and found something flattering and confidence boosting! It even matches the sun shirt I already have. I spent a little more than I would have liked (again painfully frugal) but its a Lands End suit so I'm hoping to get a lot of use out of it this summer and it will hold up. The past summer I've been shy about swimming up at my MIL's because hanging out in a bathing suit is not something I enjoy - so I got a swim skirt and a modest tankini top and plan to ENJOY the lake and swim more this year. Hopefully the suit fits thru the summer, I guess if it doesn't that would be okay too! As long as its too big not too small! I will try on the top again tonight and make sure I don't need to size down, my recommended size online was a 14 but I purchased a 16 - but I'm notorious for wearing my clothes too big. I did make korean beef last night - tired and still not feeling 100% is not a time to try a new recipe! I also had some graham crackers and chocolate hummus, what a yummy dessert! Didnt pack a lunch today, only breakfast and snacks - thought I didnt have anything but I should have brought a veggie burger. I'll be sure to take that tomorrow! Maybe panera for lunch? Didnt take anything out of the freezer for dinner and with DH not feeling well I have a feeling I may be picking up Pho for him...we shall see. The things I can control today are to drink lots of water, make better portioned healthy choices, and to be kind to myself thru this process.
5/31 Thursday - 202.0 - Dinner last night was thrown off track because DH ate the leftovers I was planning on for dinner for his lunch. No big deal, I'm glad he ate something. I didn't have much of anything ready to cook (all meats frozen) but I did have a frozen pizza and french fries calling my name. I checked to make sure my portion would fit my caloric allotment - I went slightly over carbs and a bit over sodium because I had panera for lunch. I couldnt figure out why I was such a carb monster yesterday. I stepped on the scale this morning and was a bit dissapointed in myself and the number. *TMI warning - if womanly functions bother you feel free to scroll past! But TOM unexpectedly arrived and explained everything! Water retention and carb cravings are the norm for me a day or two before and a day or two during. A NSV for me as a woman with PCOS - my cycle has regulated to 28 days on the dot! I have a follow up with my endocrinologist next week, so I'm excited to be able to report some good news. I was ranging anywhere from 35-50 days previous to changing my diet. I'm hoping to start a family in the next 2 years or so, so this is one of my biggest goals is improving my reproductive health! I truly was not expecting TOM to come until next week (which would have sucked while vacationing but it always seems to happen that way without fail so I was planning for it). First day is still proving to be incredibly painful - hopefully that will improve as well as I continue my journey.
6/01 Friday -202.0 Just hanging out here. Fine by me FOR NOW. Definitely didnt get enough water yesterday. It was a pretty emotional day overall and I didnt crawl into a bowl of mac and cheese so thats a win. I made an old favorite recipe, taco noodle caserole. I used recipe builder, logged it, and ate an appropriate portion that fit my calories for the day. At lunch with a friend at panera I stuck with an order which I knew has worked in the past while still tasting food and filling me up. I'm a hurting unit today with crazy cramps and my lower back is aching. But I made my smoothie and packed lunch. May order out tonight - it's Friday, our usual order out night, but I'll do my best to be reasonable with my choices to fit in my day. A busy weekend ahead - hopefully seeing a house prospect Saturday, DH needs to shop for vacation clothes, lots of prep to get the house ready while we're away, and get the dog out for a hike. I'll need to drink my morning smoothie (need more flax milk) make sure to drink lots of water and have a positive attitude!
6/02 Saturday - 200.8 - surprised by that number this morning as last night we went out for fried seafood, and I was a bottomless pit upon returning home and ate 6 fig newtons! But, I logged it all as accurately as I could and it wasn't as much of a bust as I thought! Nonetheless I haven't eaten like that in a while. We also took a nice little hike after work so that was good! A busy day today checking out the house. Didn't eat breakfast, too many nerves and no flax milk for smoothie. Late lunch grilled meat and veggies, dinner was a homemade cajun chicken Alfredo that fit into my day nicely. An awesome new recipe that I will definitely use again, and could certainly modify to be lighter depending on needs. Ran errands all afternoon and I'm pooped! Need to make some good choices tomorrow at the grocery store, some meal prep for a short week but not too much because going away Thursday night and don't want to be wasteful. Excited for a good night's sleep!!
6/03 Sunday - 200.2 - first waking weigh in was 200.8 half hour later 200.2 - NSV went to the grocery store and bought ONLY what was on my list. Made a plan to use what I've got this week and only needed minimal ingredients. Made a New recipe tonight, zuppa Toscana copycat recipe came in around 400 cals per serving. I've been sticking to recipes more than I have in the past because it's easier to import the recipe in recipe builder and know the calories are close opposed to winging a recipe, which is what I usually do. Slight change but so far it's tasting good and easier to track! Bread an butter with soup put me right at cals for the day, but I plan to have a 150 cal dessert too because I'd rather fill the craving with a small amount of what I do want rather than a large amount of something else not satisfying. For today anyway but don't plan to make a habit of it. TOM really affects my hunger so I'm just listening to my hunger cues more closely and eating closer to maintenance when I am very hungry during TOM. We are both finally feeling better so back to getting to work early tomorrow. Short week, leaving Thursday night, lots to do before we go so planning to be positive and proactive about healthy eating this week so traveling is less taxing.
6/04 Monday - 200.6 - First waking was 201.2 - Less than 20 minutes later down to recorded weight...interesting. All things considered I'm happy with that number for today. I'm hopeful I can reach my goal by Wednesday. I will need to buckle down on hydration today and stay in the green today and tomorrow! This round has been all over the place weigh in wise - between TOM and being sick, I'm proud I didn't just go off the rails, but time to rededicate myself to the cause for the next two days - mini goal! I love the weekly digest report - I was in fact under my weekly caloric intake goal so I'm proud of that! Next Round will be interesting as we are traveling Thursday - Sunday so I'll be curious to see how I can maintain. Leftover soup for lunch today - and it might just end up being dinner too depending on how errands go this evening...other option is chicken thighs, so I've got options! Endo appointment is tomorrow afternoon - need to go over my prep and make sure I remember to ask him all these questions I've been thinking up lately. I still havent taken my measurements! Do that tonight or tomorrow and record so I can use those stats to go with test results from tomorrows appointment and I can compare all at my next 6 month follow up. *Note End TOM
6/05 Tuesday - 200.6 - Not gonna lie, I was initially frustrated by the number this morning. Came back to the scale 30 minutes later in hopes of some drop, but stayed the same. But, I wont let it get me down. I ate within calories yesterday, I didnt have significant gains over the weekend, I'm pushing forward, and most importantly I FEEL GOOD! Ate soup again for dinner last night - maybe its the sodium? Anyway it was nice to have a meal I enjoyed eating 3 times in a row - that doesnt happen often. I was really hungry this morning so my breakfast smoothie is already gone, need to drink water to get me thru to lunch. Also packed lunch - black bean burger wrap with cheese and hummus and a serving of chips comes in pretty high on calories, 518...hmmm maybe I'll skip the chips and have popcorn for a snack before doctor this afternoon. Seeing the endo today - did some prep for the appointment and hoping all the usual blood work is done so I have a baseline to work off to compare to in 6 months. Staying positive and drinking lots of water today to finish at goal tomorrow!
6/06 Wednesday - 199.0!!! - Awwww yeaaaah!!! Stoked to have reached my goal one day before vacation! I'm right on track of where I wanted to be almost 2 months ago and that in itself feels good. Add to that that I've reached onederland and I'm ecstatic! Last night was almost a bust - I set some goals for myself in the Just For Today Thread that really kept me on track. Endo appointment went well but got home a little later than usual and had to make a trip to the lake to do a load of laudnry and let the dog play - I was already starving so I had my applesauce snack and committed to eating once we got home. Still almost picked up take out on the way home but resisted the urge and made fried potatoes, and DH grilled asparagus and jerk chicken. Right after dinner I wanted some of the wattamelon that we've had since the holiday. I waited til I felt more full from dinner, drank some more water, and had my 8 wafer cookies for 150 cal. instead. I knew onderland was a possibility so that spurred me on in making better decsions. This next round while on vacation I am going to aim to maintain at under 199.9 - maintaining is actually harder for me than losing, as my track record shows. Congrats to all reaching onderland this round and to those that are close, keep up the good work! See ya next round!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

5/28 136.5 WHOO HOO! Almost no carbs yesterday. Tracking again. It makes a difference. Almost 100 posts to read! Home from community picnic. One hamburger, one hotdog, a thin slice each of tomato and onion. I pinched a teeny bite of cookie from DH - 3 raisins and not much else!
5/29 137.5 Too much salt in the evening. This too shall pass.
5/30 137.5 Hurt my foot yesterday. A board fell over on it. Not a big board but it is swollen and bruised. I’m going to water fitness anyway and will see what I can do.
5/31 136.5 The bruise is fading but it still feels as if I’m walking on a cotton ball.
6/1 136.0 We took a road trip yesterday so I stayed off my foot most of the day. Swelling and bruise almost gone. Ate French fries yesterday, we’ll see if that causes a problem in a day or two!
6/2 135.0 WHOO HOO Tracking is paying off!
6/3 135.0
6/4 135.5 I ate something late because I had only had about 300 calories for the day. I need to stop doing that. I wasn’t hungry - that is what Keto does and it’s a signal that I am in ketosis and my body is using my fat stores for fuel. On the bright side, I put the Zumba DVD in and started learning some of the steps. I have 2 left feet!
6/5 135.5. Adjusted my macros so will work with these numbers for awhile and see what happens. I’m a work in progress! YIKES! Busy morning and I forgot to post!
6/6 136.5 Expected! Dinner last night was super SALTY! AW is down just over 2 pounds this round. Color me thrilled!!!!

5/28- Memorial Day. 15 mile bike ride. Food was not where it was supposed to be with a few glasses of wine and ice cream.

5/29- 151.5- Already starting this round high from a couple days of being off plan and A. Flo being in town. Thursday, I fly to VT to see the family- yet another obstacle to overcome. It’s going to be a stressful round. Food was okay. Having difficulties with logging. TKD was a bust, but I did lift instead on the gym machines.

5/30- 150- Things are going back down.
5/31- Out of Town
6/01- Out of Town
6/02- Out of Town
6/03- Out of Town
6/04- This round is a bust. Which I figured would be the case. The rest of the challenge is going to be focused on getting myself back where I need to be with respect to food, exercise, and mental stability. Family sucks.
N- Food is packed and MFP is queued for a great day of logging. Back to Day One of staying within boundaries; N- Great. E- 30 min of cardio at 5 am; Mowed yard; 13k steps. S- Boo on Screens before bed; S- Left early for Hannah. No meditation.

6/05- 149.5. Not as bad as I was expecting this morning. Slept in. Cold kept me awake most of the day. Exercise- walked with Leslie after dinner. S & S- Turned off the phone and talked to my hubs. Food was on target

6/06- 148.5. Final weigh-in. Yes, its up. But I can handle 1.5 pounds given the past 10 days. Next round will be better.

I am most definitely in! I seem to start the week off strong but completely drop the ball on the weekends. Something I need to work on this round. My goal is to be at 163.0 or less by 06/06/18
Original SW - 172.0
Round 40 SW - 170.0
Round 41 SW - 165.6
Round 42 SW - 164.9
UGW - 150
Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 164.9 Considering I did not go for a walk, I feel pretty good about the direction my weigh is going.
5/29 164.5 Slow but steady. I am okay with that

5/30 164.0 Just a Meh day
5/31 165.4 Sighs (insert inappropriate language)
6/01 165.3 Double sighs
6/02 Did not weigh in, busy busy weekend
6/03 Did not weigh in busy busy weekend
6/04 164.5 I received a 30 day free gym membership from a local gym on Friday. Because I have COPD, I am pretty limited to what I can participate in, but it's a start. I plan to go "walk" the running track for 30 minutes, and then hop on a bike. I will also go for my usual lunch time work. Last week was super rainy out for most lunches, so I am looking forward to a great week of walks. I packed my breakfast, lunch and snacks and will only eat what I planned.
6/05 163.5 I guess the bike thing worked! Yesterday will be a repeat today. I also started a new routine this morning . I arrive at work at good 1 and 15 minutes before start time. It's just been my habit to do this for years. Today when I arrived, I changed into my running shoes and went out for a brisk 15 minute walk. Sunny but cool out, so the walk was invigorating!
6/06 163.7 Pffffft! What the HAY? Doing what I can. Yesterday I walked 13,500 steps, a high for me, and biked for 6.2kms at the gym. Swayed slightly diet wise - one small piece of pizza at work. There is ALWAYS food at work, they cater a few lunches a day in the office and always over order. What's left hits the employee lunch room at 1:00. For me to indulge in only the piece of pizza is a real accomplishment!. Went for a 22 minute walk this morning upon arriving at the office

Ending Round 42 down 1.2 lbs

See you all in Round 43!

Age 60, 5'4.5" 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 [R39] 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

Annual workplace Health Risk Assessment 5/15/18: Waist the smallest it's been since 2007 according to past HRA records.

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.

By evening, the introvert in me was exhausted, having handled seminar check-in and networking with 26 people in my professional association all day, even though I loved it. So after I drove 33 miles back to my city & deposited seminar checks at in-store bank, I picked up rotisserie chicken, deli salads and a few groceries on my way home, and proceeded to eat with abandon, including WAY too much sugar.

, shopping, pedicures and, of course, eating! Fabulous lunch, everyone else had paninis but I had fusilli with shrimp, artichoke hearts, white wine & sun-dried tomatoes ~ so good! We always have an afternoon break for dessert & this year we had pie break. I indulged in caramel apple pie ~ yum! Before leaving home for day, I walked dog 3.07 mi 53:19 and ate mango overnights oats (yum & filling) for breakfast. Fitbit 14,217 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 20 floors.

Moved 3,196# (I did the math) of retaining wall blocks (17# each), with hubby of course, from pallet in driveway, around garage, through back gate, across backyard, up berm and placed along 85' back fence. I started by carrying one in each hand (indents in blocks) but when pallet was > 1/2 empty I couldn't do two anymore, and only carried one at a time. Took us 3 hours total & I weeded berm as we went.
