Day/Weight/Comment

6/27 – 181.2 I’LL TAKE IT!!!! It makes no sense, but I’ll take a drop any day of any week … and thank you scale. Let’s get under the 180s this round.

6/28 – 181.8

6/29 – 181.6 I’m spending so much time sightseeing (and eating) with my niece from overseas and I can’t seem to find my control. She’s here for another week, let’s hope I don’t completely derail.

6/30 – 181.6

7/01 – 180.6 – Ate late tonight, so will probably be up on the scale tomorrow. Hope not, but most likely. Haven't logged food for about three days now and not sure about the next couple of days -- psycho busy with social events. I really, REALLY want to get into the 170s this round, but I realize that it's not going to happen magically!!!

6/27: 176.6 Almost back to the point where I went off the rails.
6/28: 176.2 Not much urge to overeat in this heat.
6/29: 175.2 Might actually make my month-end goal after all.
6/30: 174.6 Drank loads of water yesterday. It's much easier to fit in at this time of year.
7/01: 173.6 Perfectly on plan all week; now I just need to not mess up at the last minute.

Round 1 – I need something like this to keep me accountable and on track – Thank you
Female 55 years young.
28/6 SW 160lbs I have been putting weight on daily recently really need to turn this around.
29/6 158lbs No late snack last night – went bed slightly hungry, but no indigestion, completed food diary.
30/6 157lbs No late snack, meals logged, knowing I have to weigh in the morning and log it here is keeping me on track. 😊
1/7 156lbs. Yay – I have swapped the time of my main meal. I previously had my main meal when I returned from work at night. This meant that I ate between 21.00 to 22.00 hrs! and then went to bed. Giving no time to burn it off. So, I have now swapped this to eating my main meal at work and having something light when I get home. I have also stopped those late night snacks!! I would also want something sweet after my main meal at night before going to bed. I have stopped this habit and I am not really missing it yet, I have had a couple of looks in the fridge – but remembering that I have to weigh in the next morning and log it on here is really working. I close that fridge door and walk away….
2/7 155lbs day off work today, yay. I should be able to get some cardio done. 😊

Round 45 aims - this is an uninterrupted 10 days ahead before we are away again so really looking to make the most of it - definitely planning to be under 140lb, and hopefully heading towards 138lb.......

6/27 - 139.90lb - down 1.2lb - yay! That will do for day 1 and I'm back under the magic 140 - now to make it stick and carry on down... Out of routine today though as off work so need to make an extra effort to keep drinking the water.....

6/28 - 138.70lb - 1.2lb down again today - totally due to losing excess water and carbs from the weekend away. This is good as proves to me that the weight on the scale is so dependant on what we have put in our bodies the days before (macros wise rather than calories) and the scale is not a true reflection of our weight - daily variations can be huge! Also makes me feel better that being back down to this weight means that although the scales told me I had put weight on, I have actually been behaving pretty well so want to make this stick - although expect a slight gain tomorrow as tonight is a carb heavier home-made burger-night dinner post gym workout. Feeling very positive about this round and really want to try and make this stick (including over the upcoming weekend!)

6/29 - 138.0 - another 0.70lb down - more of the "whoosh" - Love a good whoosh Been a normal week so been able to be totally in control for a change. I find drinking water in the week easy - bottle permanently in the car and on my desk at work - need to try harder at weekends - get too distracted doing stuff and forget! This was actually my goal for the round so now aiming to get through the weekend without the usual Monday morning gain and carry on losing a bit more before next Friday - reset my round 45 goal to 137.50.

6/30 - 137.20lb down another 0.8lb and the whoosh continues. Although in reality think this is really a result of the last few weeks as I have been consistent but just weighing at the "wrong" time as I haven't been weighing every day. Its the weekend and so far so good though .... Also surpassed my revised end of goal target - so final revision is 137.0 and to make it stick!

7/01 - 137.70 - slightly up from yesterday but ok with this as still down from Friday weigh in. Yesterday was a very late weigh in as actually didn't have to set the alarm for once. Slightly under calories too yesterday. Planned day today means I should be in calories for the day but dinner will be later than normal and being Sunday it will be a roast with dessert - all in calories but heavier dinner than usual. So if weight is up slightly tomorrow I wont be concerned as know I'm still on track Happy Sunday everyone xx

7/02 - 137.00 - not only down since yesterday but (huge happy dance alert!!!))) I actually weigh less on a Monday morning than I did on Friday - 1lb down! I was focused but I also accredit this to our builders starting our extension today so we have spent the weekend demolishing the old garage with a sledge hammer, lugging all the blocks and bricks to the skip and moving a pile of 1,000+ roof tiles to the end of garden out the way!! Was fairly hot here in the UK too over the weekend so drank so much water - but it does just go to prove that losing weight over a weekend is possible (albeit going to extreme measure with a sledge hammer ). Now to keep it off! Heres to a good week one and all ......

Goal this round: More accurate logging by cooking more during weekends. Start exercise routine probably some kind of beginners work out video on YouTube. Recommendations appreciated. Good luck everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 235.0! Changed my logging to just putting round start weights since there’s been a difference from the last day of the previous round to the first day of the new round. Between R43 and R44 there was a -0.4lb difference. Between R44 and R45 -1.5lbs!!! I think my consistency from last round paid off even though the scale wasn’t reflecting that. I’m glad I didn’t let it mentally de-rail me. Great way to start a round!
6/28- 234.0 TWO THIRTY-FOUR! Yippee!
6/29- 234.4 Still learning to take the ups in stride. Late weigh in. Within calories yesterday but carb heavy dinner.
6/30- 235.4 Very bummed and disappointed in myself yesterday. Chick Fil A for breakfast. Pizza for dinner. Restless night with the baby. Trying to get head back in game. Up water today and planning an active day with the kids.
7/01- 234.8 Focusing on the positive: weight is down from yesterday, start of round, and since I restarted. I’m still averaging 3lb loss per week since Memorial Day. I’m doing great.
7/02- 234.2 Looks like AF is still working out the post partum schedule. Second time in less than 2 weeks. Ugh. Might explain the weight rollercoaster.

•6/27 - 194.4 - Tired. Need water and COFFEE! Got things to do. I can't wait out spongebarb this morning.
•6/28 - 195.2 - 16ozs of water before stepping on the scale.
•6/29 - 193.6

•6/30 - Didn't even think to weigh this morning.

•7/1 - 194.2 - Almost forgot to weigh again. When the weather is hot, one of my first thoughts upon waking is to drink some water. I did. I enjoyed a couple of cubes of watermelon and cantaloupe yesterday with my breakfast. Sooo good and sweet. I was sooo bloated the rest of the day from the sugars. July is the month I give myself to enjoy a bit of fruit, so I expect bloat and weight loss stall. I also need to make some infused water with cucumber, lemon and parsley. I'm 7 weeks away from my weight loss journey 1 yr anniversary.

•7/2 - 192.4 - Very early weigh in. Muddled some fresh picked mint leaves and added to my water yesterday. No bloating and so refreshing! I love mint. Spearmint for Summer. I highly recommend it. It was BLAZING HOT! Heat index of 106° I really hate it when the heat index card is drawn. "SIGH" our month of suffering high heat and humidity began with a BANG.

06/27 - 189.6
06/28 - 189.0 Yesterday I ate well, but didn’t finish my gallon of water. I also had two gin drinks at dinner, which I’m sure hasn’t helped. I did go out for a 4 mile run though and I’m off to the gym again, so hopefully I’ll continue this downward trend.
06/29 - 190.2 - Went for a four mile walk, but also went for a rain date Father’s Day lunch with my dad. Today’s goals- walk 4 miles and drink a gallon of water.
06/30 - 187.7 - YAY! I knew it would click eventually! I know that number is going to still go up and down throughout the 10 days but it's encouraging to finally see it on the scale!
07/01 - 187.8 - I’ll take that number. Went to a graduation bbq yesterday and had a few beers, but my food choices weren’t too bad.
07/02 - 190.6 - Ok, I knew I would be up from the weekend, but I wasn't expecting that. Luckily, I know that isn't my true weight. I ate two things (dairy and carbs) that I have been cutting out lately combined with alcohol. All I can do is start fresh and go back to square one. Lots of water, exercise, no processed carbs, no dairy, no alcohol and try again tomorrow!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27--178.6 I feel like I'm off track the last several days. Need to make some adjustments.
6/28--177.4 Glad to see some downward progress. Last night I reevaluated my MFP goals. I had it set at 1 lb/week, sedentary (which I am), which gave me 1420 calories. I was really struggling with this. After fighting it for a few months now, I decided to change it to .5 lb/week. This gives me 1670 calories. Part of what was happening is I would go so far over my calories that I would just stop worrying about it. What's another 100 when you are already several hundred over? I'm hoping by having a more realistic goal it will keep me more accountable, because I will feel like I can actually meet it. Plus, even though I was set at 1 lb/week, it was really more like 1 lb/month, so .5/lb per week would make me perfectly happy. I don't really care how slow it is as long as its going down. The last round I felt like I was really starting to go the wrong direction. So, today is the first day I try to hit my new calorie goal!
6/29--177.8
6/30--175.8 This is probably a fluke and I'm dehydrated or something, but I'll take it!
7/01--176.4 Back on the hamster wheel. I'd rather be here than in the higher range I started this challenge with. Just ready to have a breakthrough!
7/02--175.8 Hello there, old friend. Pleased to see you today!

6/27 163.4 I set an aggressive goal weight for this round, but I believe I can reach it if I continue the course.

6/28 162.6 I cannot wait until I am freed up to get on my bike or at least go walk the dogs. It has been a long 10 days. On the bright side I feel I am getting a better grasp on my eating, and I haven't binged this week. I am biting my tongue about my husband's In and Out burgers, donuts and fat boy ice cream sandwiches, abstaining, and letting him make his own choices without piping in. This has always been challenging for me unless we are both on the downward trajectory as far as weight.

6/29 163.0 I can't begin to explain the series of events that led to banana split and potato chips after dinner. I can only say that the stress of caregiving for my mom for the past 2 weeks added to the ever present worry about my 16 year old son has caught up with me and something gave. I was either going to get drunk or eat ice cream, and there we go. I expect to see another step up on the scale tomorrow as a delayed effect of last night's binge.

6/30 161.8 My goal for this round is in reach! I am looking so forward to getting out of the 160's, and resolve never to go there again! I was looking at the before and after success thread last night and how inspiring it is to see how so many people are able to take conttol of their eating and moving and reshape their bodies. I am super stoked to have found this platform and community.

7/01 163.5 Just another reminder that our weight will reflect the result of what we eat, duh. Last night I had a heavy carb dinner, indulging in extra bread and paella, not really too ar over my calories but enough to cause this immediate feedback. It was worth it though, because it is a lifelong change I am making. Better choices day at a time for the rest of my life, leaving room to indulge and then getting back on track.

7/02 WEIGH IN DAY 162.8 Kinda bummed that I am only .2 lbs down from my last weekly weigh in, but looking back at my week I did indulge in ice cream and extra carbs, defiitely making some choices that reflect on the scale. Well, better a small loss than any gain! Goals for this week are more water, more moving and getting my parents back to their own house!
