Another awesome workout yesterday and ate within my budget. May not be able to get a workout in today but I’ll try to. Hoping the weight at least stays here for a bit and doesn’t go up.
6/29 - 121.2

Super busy weekend, ate within my range and ate healthy. Couldn’t get any workouts in at all these two days
7/02 - 121.2
Weight stabilizing and I feel great, so I guess this bump is fine. Worked out today and it was a good one. Have to focus on not having dinner too late. May not be able to reach goal of 119 this round.

ROUND 3 FOR ME - Female 58 yrs old Original starting weight 235 on 1/11/18


Goals: 1. 3 lb loss to land in the 180’s (even if it’s hanging by skin of my teeth)
2. No Bingeing
3. No “cheat days” only “Earn days”. No “Earn Days” only “Earn Meals” which are much easier to bounce back from.
4. 10,000 steps per day. Mixed modes of exercise.
5. Lots of water, green tea daily, apple cider vinegar before carby meals.
6. Check my blood sugar daily for improvements.



R43 SW 193.8 EW 195.6 +1.8 lbs Gain
R44 SW 195.6 EW 192.4 - 3.2 lbs Loss
R45 SW 192.4 EW = TBD



Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 Today’s weight: 192.4 going out of town today so tomorrow’s weight is not going to be good. Started this challenge with a 1.5 mile walk after dinner and a total of over 9000 steps for the day. Ate fairly healthy though my carbs were a bit over. Calories were good.

6/28 Today’s weight: 194.6 I knew this would happen. Restaurants are my weakness for sure! So much better to eat at home when you can!

6/29 Today’s weight: 192.4 Walked 10,332 steps yesterday. Followed my keto low carb diet very well. Restrained from the late night bingeing, but it was difficult. Used 2 squares of 90% cacao chocolate as my compromise. Bitter but better than nothing. Logged well. Drank my water, vinegar and tea. My blood sugar numbers were fantastic so my body probably loves me right now. I am proud I made it through another day successfully and that the scale reflected my sacrifices.

6/30 Today’s weight: 191.4. Walked 11,005 steps yesterday including work and home. Intermittent fasted for 16:8. No actual exercise or intended walk yesterday due to extreme weather so I am pleased with the scale. I followed my diet without any trouble and reached most of my macros though I was a smidgen low on protein. It’s going to be 100 degrees here in Northern Michigan today which is uncharacteristic of my area. We do not even have air conditioning so wish me well!

7/01 193.8 Went off course on diet yesterday due to heat. High sodium restaurant carry out since it was too hot to cook or even grill outside. Tons of water due to heat/thirst. I hope this will prove to be mainly water weight. Another hot day coming but I am hoping to do better today with meal planning. I got in 10,762 steps yesterday around the house working. I intermittent fasted 16:8. But otherwise, I pretty much blew it. More self-sabotage in the eating dept. and lots of water which is going nowhere with what I ate. I will be working hard on all this today despite more high 90’s degree weather expected.
7/02 194.6 My son’s birthday so what can I say? I intermittent fasted 16:8. I walked over 13,000 steps. I drank the water, the vinegar and the tea. But my diet was lousy. Binge, Binge. In the evening I came to my senses and started being very careful and I put in the walking. I hope tomorrow will be better.

CW: 82.5 kg (182 lbs)
UGW: 70 kg (154 lbs)
GW for this round: as close to 81 kg (178.5 lbs) as I can get but under 82 for sure


Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 82.5 kg (182 lbs) - this is actually slightly up from yesterday. Not surprising, as I had a work thing with drinks and also had 2 small but very high sodium fried snacks. Healthy main meals though.
6/28 82.6 kg - again, really slightly up although I was super strict with staying within my calories. Even weighed my tiny bowl of low-cal icecream for dessert. Gonna chalk this one up to natural fluctuations and/or maybe lack of water - must remember to hydrate!
6/29 82.2 kg (181.2 lbs) - better! Stayed within calories, ate very healthily, drank tons of water (was peeing ALL day) and killed it at the gym so have trouble walking now but I'll take it! Now to not undo it over the weekend....
6/30 82.0 kg (180.7 lbs) - lowest I have been in a while. We had a friend plus kids over, and I had a couple of drinks, but watched what I ate so I guess the extra calories were offset by the fact that I had a very active day overall... BBQ tonight at other friends, but I am driving so not drinking - hope this will last!
7/01 82.4 kg - up from yummy BBQ foods. But I did not go crazy so I expect this is mostly water retention. Back on track today!
7/02 81.9 kg - pleased to end the weekend at a lower weight than going into it, without feeling like I deprived myself. Now to just keep at it!
7/03 81.5 kg (179.7 lbs) - did not log because baby WOULD NOT sleep, but ate relatively well and moved quite a bit. Happy with this!

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.
7/02: 174.2 I've had a great whoosh so I can live with this bounce back.

SW: 71.9kg
GW: 70.9kg
UGW: 62kg

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: 71.9kg - Started off with a much larger breakfast than I'm used to so didn't have barely any calories left over for dinner, but dinner turned out to be less calories than expected so I only went over by a small amount
6/28: 71.9kg - Really good day generally, excluding when I got home from work and mindlessly found myself with a spoon in the nutella jar (this is the reason I don't normally have it in the house!)
6/29: 71.4kg - Very happy with myself for yesterday. Changed dinner plans and had a BBQ instead. Instead of eating all of the things, I forwent the burger and bun option and went for just the chicken, steak, and corn and was more than happy. And my OH bought custard slices which is my kryptonite. I checked the calories before cooking, and gave myself slightly more than I was going to have so it put me about 200kcals over my goal for the day (I have flexible goals, so this is just about acceptable considering my week) and I worked out what I could have still in that number. I have a problem with custard slices, which means I always eat both in the packet, but I only had one yesterday, and I was happy with it. And the meal completely killed my craving for takeaway I normally get at the end of the week (I can fit it into my calories) so I'm probably doing better for it than if I stuck with my original plan
6/30: 70.8 - Fairly sure I'm a little dehydrated this morning which is why I've had another big drop, completely expecting a rise tomorrow. Was completely killed at judo yesterday. Hot weather combined with the fact I'm still recovering from illness made it a tough one certainly. Really happy with how I ate though, and I got that second custard slice I saved from the previous day and was still within my allowance.
7/01: 71.2 - And there's that jump back up. Not as awful as I was expecting, fingers crossed its not going to continue tomorrow. Ate really well and was well under. And then we went to a friends in the evening. And I ate so much popcorn (planned), crisps and cookies (definitely not planned) well over goal and surprised at how little self control I've got in those situations. Must do better!
7/02: 70.5 - Yesterday was really good eating wise, so please to see the scales down. Mostly because I was detracted all day and so didn't get that hungry. Had my main meal at lunch as opposed to dinner, so probably had less actual food in my body this morning which might account for the drop. We'll find out tomorrow, hoping it'll stay under 71, but we'll see. Barely moved from my computer chair though.
7/03: 70.8 - Come on I deserved better than that! Yesterday was a great day. Yes I know what I said that I kinda expected a smallish rise, but I actually ate under my bottom goal and did an hour and a half of Judo! Might just be water retention (I hope). At least I'm pretty sure that I've made my GW for this round.

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 ......

7/03 - 136.90 - 0.10lb - a tiny drop but guess after the weight I've dropped the last 5/6 days it cant keep coming off at that rate - shame! But very happy still as my main aim for the rest of this round is to keep it off and steady at around 137.00 so its all good. England play tonight in the World Cup but still going to go to the gym and watch the first half there. Sons wedding in 3 weeks and holiday in just under 5 weeks - #Feeling motivated

6/27 - 154.6 - Up a little from yesterday but not worried, muscles are a little sore today from working out so might be holding on to some water, feeling a little heavy this morning. Food, water and steps were all good yesterday so not going to stress about this slight gain.

6/28 - 154.2

6/29 - 152.6 - whoop! whoop!!

6/30 - 152.6 - Now to not screw it up at the pig roast tonight. I've got this.

7/01 - 153.2 - slight blip, not worried. It's either from sore muscles or the cherry vodka and lemonades I had last night. Was good about the food yesterday at the pig roast though so won't be expecting to see this number stick around. A little slow on getting moving today but about to go get a workout in and then a nice swim in the pool. Suppose to be 94 degrees here today so lots of water for me.

7/02 - 154.6 - It sucks to see this number but it's alright I know I got good exercise this weekend (sore muscles) and my eating wasn't terrible. I've noticed this trend before and I know what I need to do to get back on track so I just need to focus today, workout and drink plenty of water.

7/03 - 154.0 - Heading back in the right direction. Most likely won't make my goal this round, just want to get back to my start weight at this point.

6/28....179....got a new scale today and my fears were correct. The old one was broken and super inaccurate. So bummed.

6/29...179....trudging along. Staying on track with the tracking but didn't meet my step goal for the day. Was on the road most of it.

6/30.....178....down 1lb!!!! Woohoo!! Haha! Some shift is better than none!!!

7/01....178....again today. Played basketball with the fam yesterday, hauled 50lb sacks of feed around, and made it past my step goal last night. Looking forward to what today brings

7/02.....179... sadness. Whined to hubby about only loss being an inch off the bust so far. Feel like I'm working hard only to get a pear shaped body as a "reward." Frustrating. He says he sees a difference but I'm not seeing it.

7/03.....178.... trudging along. I'm still tired because of the anemia thing, but do feel better at my core so I'm not tempted to give up. Get to go in for another round of blood work next week. Looking forward to getting the underlying health weirdness in check. Been hoping ditching all this extra fat will help with the hormone issues. Just a bit frustrating when my numbers don't want to budge. Been studiously tracking and exercising. Eventually it will pay off.

6/27 188 woosh! partly due to lots of fibre and partly due to sleeping in -now to make it stick
6/28 188.6 - patience is a virtue after all
6/29 DNW - up all night with depressed teenager - this is when my eating tends to go off the rails - will aim for maintenance today and log it all
6/30 189.8 Thanks for all the hugs yesterday. Yesterday was a WAM day. At first that was an acronym for wife and mother - which is what I put on my exercise calendar when caretaking takes all my time and energy for the day. (otherwise it's W for walk, WO for workout or R for rest) WAM is also nicely onomatopoeic for that feeling of being banged around by life. (The image in my head is like the old batman comics) Now it has a third meaning "work at maintenance" which is what I did. It is great to be able to cut yourself a little slack without it feeling like failure or cheating. My weight is up a little but that is most likely digestive issues.
7/01 188.0 Hoping it sticks this time - good day yesterday. Work out done, calories on target and a calm household
7/02 187.2 !! wasn't expecting a drop Ate well but not much exercise. Happy to be putting some distance between me and that 190.
7/03 187.0 Enjoyed my long weekend - back to work and early mornings today. Workout done.
