6/27 73kg after a little diversion from my new ways
6/28 73kg
6/29 73kg, then went off to eat silly things
6/30 didn't weigh myself and had another indulgent day
7/01 74kg - no surprise after yesterday...
7/02 74kg - it's ok. I've upped my calories to avoid getting annoyed with myself for going over. If I don't lose anything, I know I need to reduce them, but maybe I can find determination first
7/03 73.5kg - i'm being optimistic here, but maybe it'll help me keep it up
7/04 73.5kg it's worked

Really trying to stick to my guns for the next few days. I leave for a 6 week trip to the U.S. to visit my parents on the 9th, and I would really like to have some good habits established before then. I always have a hard time eating sensibly when I visit with them and to top that off, this time I will be spending 23 hours a week with my daughter at gymnastics!! So if I can get good habits started now, plus start seeing results, I think I will be more motivated to keep it up while I am away.

SW: 160.1
CW (as of 6/26): 158.2

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27:158.6 The day was fine, the night time was not. Snacking while watching tv is not good.
6/28:159 Didn't eat much today, hard to when the weather is 115 degrees. Did have 3.5 beers last night but I still managed to stay under my calories. I would not, however, recommend skipping food to have a drink. I am paying for it today, and for a lack of water intake, with a good ole headache, ugh. Tomorrow I want to get more water in.
6/29: 157.1 My daughter has a gymnastics competition today. Instead of counting on eating out and just blowing everything, I have planned a meal and am going to pack a cooler and take it with me. The kids and hubby can then get what they want and I will still stay on track! I am going to do this is time.
6/30: 157.7 So, I didn't manage to avoid the McDonalds last night. My daughters competition finished later than expected and by the time we were headed to eat I was STARVING and had no will power at all. I also had three beers with my husband!! But, I managed to only go 400 calories over, so it wasn't the end of the world.
7/01: 157.7Another not great day. I have realized that I am an all or nothing kind of girl when it comes to alcohol. I think I am just going to have to avoid it for a while if I want to get anywhere with weight loss. Spent today recovering from a hangover and ended up with fast food again and then just eating whatever sounded good.
7/02 157.7 Still not a good day, but I will make tomorrow better.
7/03 157.7 Much better day. Went over calories by 100 but I am ok with that. Had a bit of alcohol again today, which is something that needs to stop right now. Time to get on the dry wagon again. Did my first day of P90x3 and actually really enjoyed it. It was tough but not so tough I couldn't do it. Much better than the times I have tried insanity. While I love Shaun, his workouts are too focused on cardio and not enough on strength.
7/04: 157.3 Already liking this day. Day 2 of P90x3 is on the cards for today.

Great job to everyone so far!!! You all seem to be killing it!!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: 257.6 - started intermediate fasting 23/1 yesterday for these 10 days. It's not something I would do all the time but wanted to change up my routine for a bit.
6/28: 256.8 - yesterday was good! I stuck with the fasting schedule, stayed under calories and got in a walk.
6/29: 256.8 - yesterday wasn't a great day. I couldn't stick with the fast, I had to eat after 20hrs...was just too hungry. I did get a walk in though and lots of water.
6/30: 254.8 - woke up with a stomach bug

7/01: 253.6 - was only able to eat a few crackers last night. Feeling mostly better today though so hopefully I'll be able to eat. I don't see this number sticking around for tomorrow!
7/02: 252.2 - wasn't able to eat much yesterday but was feeling well enough for some dinner, so surprised to see a drop

Expecting this to go up a little tomorrow.
7/03: 253.4 - finally able to eat again

need to make this stick now!
7/04: 254.8 - bad food choices yesterday, not enough water and no exercise. Have to do better today!

•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 - Muddled some fresh picked mint leaves and added to my water yesterday. No bloating and so refreshing! 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.

•7/3 - 194.2 - Okay

•7/4 - 193.2 - OMGosh, I don't know HOW I managed the entire day on 16ozs of water! If it wasn't for coffee I would have been dehydrated. I will have to lay the blame on being indoors in the air conditioned environment and just not focusing attention on myself. I didn't even start the day with water. I have not done that in years! Busy and happy day with all the grands

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.
7/04 187.6 That's OK I am getting used to these bounces now.

Not been sleeping well, I think it's effecting my weight loss efforts. I'm much much hungrier than normal

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.
7/04: 70.8 - I feel like yesterday was a big failure. It wasn't, but I'm beating myself up over it. I was 70kcals over my upper calorie goal, which isn't great, but I was still over 200kcal under maintenance at GW (above which I class as a bad day). It came from a dessert that I could've had a healthier choice, it was much lighter than I would've previously made before I started losing weight. And I did really enjoy it, so I'm slightly conflicted. It wasn't a bad dessert per say(in terms of calories), just not the best choice I could've made. I dunno, I've been feeling really hungry the last couple of days, and I know I've been doing well besides it, so it's probably more of a response to that, as opposed to the fact I was over goals.

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.

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.

7/04 - 155 - late dinner, late weigh in, every muscle in my body hurts. So frustrated with the number on the scale. I've been pushing it when it comes to workouts lately so hoping it might be some muscle gain and not the chips I ate last night.

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!
7/03--175.8 Two days in a row, unheard of! I feel like changing my calorie goal was the right decision, and its paying off. Although, I did eat ice cream last night even though I didn't have any calories left--but I did this knowing I could make it up the rest of the week. Went for a brisk 2-mile walk this morning and I feel great!
7/04--175.2 Going in the right direction!

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. 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.

7/04.....176... ya, baby!!!! Had to weigh twice just to make sure it wasn't a glitch 😂 it's insanely hot but I'm drinking tons and trying hard to stay within my mfp calorie allowance. Went over yesterday by about 200 calories and didn't reach my daily step goal, but got an hour of shooting hoops with my youngest in.

Day/Weight/Comment

6/27 - 164 - I'm not surprised by the little bump up from yesterday.
6/28 - 164.5 - So my rollercoaster weight graph continues...I've been below my weight loss calories all week, so this has to be water. I'll see if I can sweat it out while I'm mowing our lawn tonight.
6/29 - 163.5 - I didn't mow the lawn last night, but I did take a mile walk in a local park. I'm realizing that the closer I get to my goal weight, the more of an effort I'm going to have to make to exercise.
6/30 - 162.5 - I don't expect this to stick, but it's nice to see.
7/01 - 164 - Sitting outside in the 90+ degree heat last night drinking a gin and diet tonic did not help with the water weight.
7/02 - 164 - Oh well, I joined this challenge when I was stuck between 173 and 174 for 2 weeks, so I'm glad it's here to get me through another plateau.
7/03 - 164 - After seeing this number again, I grabbed my measuring tape and checked my measurements. From 2 weeks ago I'm down a total of 1.25 inches, including a half inch off my waist. I'll take it!
7/04 - 163.5 - I'm glad I'm down a little weight just in time to go to a 4th of July picnic. I'm going to enjoy myself and just eat smaller portions of the food there. I'm braced for the weigh in tomorrow.

weight goal for this round 161.5
log every day

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!

7/03 163.5 you play you pay

7/04 162.2 Is it within reach??? Goal for today is to over hydrate and stay away from sweets.

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!
7/04 81.5 kg - same as yesterday. Happy with this as I was feeling bloated (TOM is on the way...)

Rainy day today, but last evening I had a lovely long walk on our beautiful river greenway. Off to the weight room later. I'm feeling more optimistic about this round than I have in a while. Off we go!

06/28 - 148 - 1427 - 10-day ave 1361
My fat cells finally seem to be ready to let go. Yay! Finally! I'm planning a nice long walk this evening before the "hazardous heat" returns tomorrow, and we're going to try a new-to-us Ethiopian restaurant for lunch. Vegetarian injera platter for me! Yum!

06/29 - 148 - 1144 - 10-day ave 1326
Another day on which I didn't plan to go so low on calories, but even stuffing myself on Ehtiopian veggies, my big fat lunch cals were not much, and I just wasn't hungry until about 9, when I had an English muffin with peanutbutter.

06/30 - 148.6 - 1478 - 10-day ave 1356
That half lb is sodium & water - I had very salty red beans & rice for dinner. Uck. I drank about 6 glasses of water last night (and more during the day, of course), but even so.... We have another very hot day on the way, but that's ok - it is almost July! Have a great weekend, all.

07/01 - 148.2 - 1163 - 10-day ave 1349
Happy Canada Day!

07/02 - 148.2 - 1571 - 10-day ave 1382
Nice, warm-but-not-furnace-y, overcast day. I'm hoping to get my walk in before the rain (if any on the Greenway - 40% chance). Hubby wants to go out for pancakes for lunch, so I'll be having eggs. I love breakfast for lunch/dinner! Then I plan to do some gardening, painting (watercolor, not walls!), and, in the evening, writing. Play with my doggy girl all along the way. She likes to help, as you can see (sorry it's so big - is there a way to reduce the size on the forum?). Have a lovely, healthful day, all!

07/03 - 147.8 - 1273 - 10-day ave 1392
Another nice day on tap, so my plans are a lot like yesterday's.

07/04 - 148.2 - 1215 - 10-day ave 1324
Very salty Chinese for lunch yesterday (and leftovers today - we won't be trying that restaurant again!), but this, too, shall pass.

Just Give Me 10 Days

5'2", Female, Serial Starter, Loss 65lbs in 6 months with MFP in 2013 (250lbs to 185lbs). Did it once, can do it again. Confident it’ll stick this time. SW: 250lbs (05/28/18), UGW: 140-150lbs

R43 SW 240.4
R44 SW 237.2
R45 SW 235.0

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.
7/03- 232.4 I know the chances of this sticking isn’t likely but I took joy in stepping off/on the several times just to see this number pop up.
7/04- 232.5 Could it be?! I’m hopeful the 232ish will stick til the end of round. AF still visiting but at least there’s no cravings this time. Looks like we’ll be rained out for Independence Day so no big plans. Happy Birthday ‘Murica!
