7/17 - 159.5 - Nice start to the round. We've got out of town family coming in to stay with us tomorrow for 10 days. I hope I'm able to at least maintain this weight.
7/18 - 160 - I guess I'm going to hang around here for a while.
7/19 - 159.5 - Family came in, we had pizza and drinks, and I went a little over on my weight loss calories. I'm actually surprised this number is not higher. I'll take it.
7/20 - 160 - Here's the number I was expecting yesterday.
7/21 - 158.5 - I was not expecting this after last night! We had Chinese take out and drinks. I stayed pretty close to weight loss calories, but I thought the sodium would send my weight up. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
7/22 - 158.5 - It's nice to see this number again.
7/23 - 158.5 - I was a little hungover yesterday and barely had any steps for the day. I stuck to my weight loss calories though. If I can finish this round at this weight I'll be happy.

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.

Love this challenge, did good in the last one, looking forward to loosing more this round.

7/17 184.2 bad start to my week calories wise, but I did workout, I did day 5 of the 30 day shred, and although I haven't worked out 5 days consistently im at least working out. I need to do better.
7/18 I83.4 I didnt workout yesterday nor this morning I just felt so tired and slept through. Last week I started good like I always do but then the 2nd week comes and I drag, I'm not watching what I eat as much but I'm still trying to work out in the afternoon,at least it helps me stay the same, but that's not why I'm here. IM HERE TO LOOSE THE WEIGHT. I'm going to prep for the rest of the week, because the next 2 weekends I'm going out of town. I have to at least be under 180.
7/19 183.6 a little disappointed but not really, this is to wake me up, that I need to get back on the ball. I'm supposed to be at 182 by now, I just need to keep moving don't give up.
7/20 183.0 that's more like it, now to continue to go down, and on the weekend of all days smh this is going to be hard. First I didnt workout this morning, and I don't know if I'm going to be able to workout tonight. Then tomorrow I work in the morning, so I can't go running, I'm thinking of coming back home and working out. But then we are doing a cookout of steaks that night. Sunday we are going to a friends house who is doing brisket ribs and chicken, omg my weekend is full of food. I have to find a way to workout if I will be able to eat without gaining any of it back.
7/21 182.6 yay so happy but scared please help me keep it off, I'm so close to my mini goal of 179
7/22 182.8 uhm ok ate really bad but did 30 day shed level 1 so not bad, but I still have today to worry about and I can't go running smh, really going to watch my portions ok n sizes.
7/23 184.2 awh man kinda waiting for this to go up but wasn't expecting it to be so high. I feel like I'm starting all over again for this week 😔

7/17 --172.4 slightly disappointed, exercised my *kitten* off yesterday. I do, do a lot if weight work so I'm thinking taking my measurements might be a good idea, in case my muscle building effects the scale...don't need the scale to mess with my head. Drank 1.5 liters of water...Still working on it. I think I need to start eating breakfast though, I tend to skip till lunch.
7/18--172.8 super dissapointed. I work out for 2 hours a day, trying to go for three. Like I said yesterday I do a lot with weights so planning to keep it all cardio today...Hopefully I will see a change on the scale. On the bright side I have noticed my clothes aren't as tight, so just trying to keep that in mind. I hate how easy it is to gain but so hard to loose. So frustrating...argggg. 1.25 liters of water yesterday. Also working on eating better...lately I haven't been hungry because of the working out so tend not too eat until late lunch or only at dinner, having about one meal a day. Probably should change this.
7/19--172.2 alright a slight loss, I will take it. Ate good yesterday, had 1.5 liters of water..working on it, exercised all cardio and one weight train so that helped lol. Thinking of trying the clean eating, seems to work well with some people on here.
7/20--173.8 not surprised, I not only had a rest day when it came to exercising, my muscles were so sore from the day before, but I also made home made pizza for the hubby and my younger brothers and although at first I stayed away, I eventually wanted to try a little, which turned into a slice, which turned into desert...brownies. 1 liter of water. Back on track today though and I learnt my lesson. Rest days aren't the right days to side track my diet as well, choose one. I will put in the work today and hopefully this will be gone tomorrow.
7/21--172.4 could have done better last night with my eating, had two biscuits, looking for more nutritional food to eat but otherwise I am happy with my loss. Did less exercising then usual but I at least I got it done so I am satisfied. 1 liter of water. Hoping for more of a loss the next five days *fingers crossed*
7/22--172 did well yesterday, got in my exercising ate pretty good for breakfast and dinner but couldn't help the snacking throughout the day...oops. Lol no LNE which was hard because I found myself starving around 10 30, i will take it as a win. 1.5 liters of water. Hoping to be out of the 170s by the end of this. Argggg.
7/23--171.8 ate tons of veggies and stuck to my calorie goals. Didn't exercise at all, had a lazy day but I know that will change today, I will get back into it. Last week I had two workout days off (one for soreness so I will let it go) this week I only want to have one. Drank 1 liter of water, really need to up that. Took my measurements at the beginning of the ten days and will do it again at the end of these ten days, I have a feeling I'm loosing inches faster then weight.
Have a great week everyone

@cdavisdeva, I track MFP'S future weight prediction. Once or twice a week, I record the predicted weight 5 weeks ahead in my food diary to see if I meet it. I have met or exceeded the weight 99% of the time.
What great advice!!! I'm so glad you said that about the mfp predictions though, I was super sceptical about it. I might just try that little experiment2 -
Change of plans for this round...I've decided to stop worrying about these last 8-13 pounds and focus on eating healthfully most of the time at or just below maintenance, getting a variety of exercise, and generally making the most of the summer. As long as I don't gain, everything is fine. If I lose a little, all the better. I also aim to reboot my daily meditation practice, which I used to do faithfully. It's all part of the picture.
Goals:
Food ~~ 1430 calories max; P 15-25%, C 35-50%, F 25-35%; mostly clean & healthful
Exercise: 60 minutes/day of walking/swimming + yoga/stretch class 3X/week
Weight ~~ maintain or lose slowly.

7/17 - 148.4 - 1495 - 10-day ave 1422 - 30-min walk-run intervals
I've been driving myself crazy about not losing despite cutting back to the point of going hungry, so I've changed my goals a bit. I'll be aiming for my sedentary maintenance calories (1430) plus up to half of what I earn in exercise -- happily, I'm finally back to daily walks/swimming and I'm looking at bikes. Now to resume weight training.... I've also changed my weight goal to 140, which will put me in the "normal" BMI range. I may eventually want to lose another 5-10, but I need to stop obsessing about that.
7/18 - 148.5 - 1401 - 10-day ave 1423 - 90-min slow zoo walk
Good day yesterday, although I had a bit more sodium than usual (and my actual weight went up). Last evening we went to the zoo and walked around the Indonesian Rain Forest exhibit for about 90 minutes, which was wonderful.
7/19 - 148.4 - 1345 - 10-day ave 1403
My iPad seems to have died
so I'm guessing at my moving average, but my actual weight came back down, so this is close. Beautiful weather still, so I'm looking forward to a nice long walk. I'm feeling much less stressed about weight since I decided maintaining is fine!
7/20 - 148.4 - 1343 - 10-day ave 1383
I'm still guessing at my moving average, but my actual weight is holding steady, so this is close. All good. Rainy day today (which is good!) so I'll do my walking indoors at the Y. For the past few days I've been waking up with serious neck and lower back pain - no idea what happened all of a sudden, but I'm no a happy camper. I'm hoping to see a chiropractor today or Monday. Who has time for this nonsense??? Anyway, happy Friday, all.
7/22 - 148.4 - 1370 - 10-day ave 1316
The loss doesn't show since I'm using my moving average, but my actual weight is down & now equals my moving ave. Clothes are fitting looser no matter what the scale says. All good!
7/23 - 148.6 - 1704 - 10-day ave 1370
Little bit of a splurge yesterday, but no junk food! It will balance out today. Still all good.
7/24 - 148.2 - 1361 - 10-day ave 1383
On track, other than a lot of neck and lower back pain I've been fighting for almost a week. Happy new week!

7/18 - 253.2 water first ✅ continues to be the goal for the week
7/19 - 254.0 ✅ I found myself eating whatever because I was tired
7/20 - 254.4 water first, eat more veggies ✅, be mindful - I did eat more veggies but was lax on the water. The salad I ordered from a gourmet food truck (best option) was a small portion and little protein ☹️ As a result, I overate when I got home and was not mindful in my choices.
7/21 - 255.2 water first, veggies

7/17--177.2 Going back down. It was sooo hard to lose these few pounds, apparently I wanted to do it all over again
They came back on over a few days of getting off track, so hopefully they will go away just as quickly. Fingers crossed!
7/18--176.0 Keep it going...
7/19--175.0 Excellent! I'm happy to know that a handful of bad days isn't going to totally wreck my progress, it's just taking me the same amount of days to recover, and that's okay. Today might be hard; I barely slept last night. I just have a lot of things on my mind coupled with going to bed hungry. I don't make a habit of this but darn it, I was already over my calories and stubbornly didn't want to eat more, so I went to bed. Well, I was hungry all night and I am sooo hungry this morning! Hopefully a good dose of protein will do the trick. Pilates class tonight.
7/20--174.8 Woohoo!

7/22--No weigh in; we took an impromptu weekend road trip, so I might be paying for that on the scale for the next couple of days. It was fun though!

Day/Weight/Comment
•7/17- 190.6 - Expected. All of my food yesterday was eaten in one hour last night. I was not doing OMAD, just didn't eat all day. This is a week about others and not me. Helping DIL with decorating for Granddaughter's 5th B'day party. That means I'm crafting decorations until 12m - 1am nightly. Yesterday and today helping my niece, who is like a daughter to me, set up her kitchen in her new house.
Next week I'm sure I'll be helping her with some other things as she and her family settle in. 45g carbs, 36g net carbs. Cauliflower and cheddar cheese soup, 2 cups!, salad greens, strawberries with almond butter and whipped cream, again.
•7/18 -190.2 - Early weigh in. Tired. Retaining fluid. Much to do for this b'day party, so full court press is on. 40g carbs, 32g net carbs. Peanut butter, salad, spinach, celery & apple in chicken salad. Too much coffee yesterday.
I want coffee now. 
•7/19 - 190.2 at 8:30am. 191.8 at 5:30am. Retaining fluid. 42g carbs, 26g net carbs. Lettuce, whole roma tomato, jalapeno slices, low carb flatbread, peanut butter.
•7/20 190 - Early weigh in. Surprised it's not more, since I had only 5 hours of broken sleep. Active mind, don't want to forget to take any decoration elements for DGD's party. Saturday at 2pm it will all over. Salad, pistachios and peanut butter. 44g carbs, 34g net carbs. Pistachios are VERY CARBY.
•7/21 - No weigh in. - Not much food yesterday, but a lot of extra calories over maintenance. Did not sleep all night. Stayed up decorating for party, fueled by peanut butter. 51g carbs, 46g net carbs. Peanut butter, broccoli slaw, poppyseed salad dressing.
•7/22 - 189.4 - Yesterday was B'day party day. Really surprised about the weight, not surprised about the carb count. Well, I'll see what tomorrow brings. I prepared my own food for yesterday and took it with me, but the outdoor mermaid party had to be indoors due to the pouring rain. -17 children and probably that same number of adults in the house. It was easier to just eat the food in front of me. The bread was to fill me up and before eating it, I made up my mind to accept the consequences for it. Now my baby is "officially" 5. Her birthday was days ago, but she told me then that she's not five until she blows out her candles. Lol.
-187g carbs, 179g net carbs. Sandwich roll (2), potato chips (about 1/4 cup of broken pieces), cheese curls (2) and cupcake. Frozen fruit, tomato, lettuce. Totally exhausted. Peanut butter and sleep after returning home.
•7/23 - 190.2 - Early weigh in. I can still feel the tiredness through my body.
45g carbs, 37g net carbs. Fresh peach, cottage cheese, salad, salsa, peanut butter.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/17- 228.2 Yay! I thought for sure that I would have a bump today. I guess walking all day countered the two eating out meals today. I’m seeing a trend where my beginning and end rounds are great (barring poor food choices and/or not enough water). Bumps tend to be towards the middle of the round. Learning lots about myself.
7/18- 227.4 Beyond stoked!
7/19- 226.8 Sixth consecutive day logging a loss. Doing very well this round. Not doing anything differently than last round so I don’t know why that is but I will take it.
7/20- 226.4 Fully anticipated a bump given I was snacking a bit here and there yesterday. Also seemed extra thirsty this morning. May see it catch up to me I’m the coming days and I’m okay with that.
7/21- 226.6 There it is. Need to push water. Triple digits outside next few days. Eek.
7/22- 227.4 weekend + not enough water + pizza for dinner = recipe for mid-round bump. Bummer.
7/23- 227.6 I know I said I’d be okay seeing a bump but I’m not. Morale is slipping. Trying to stay positive. Weekdays are where most loss happens. Have to be extra careful as I’ll be traveling this weekend to my in-laws. My MIL is the best baker and her love language is FOOD.

7/23: 164.4/Surprise, sort of. I went to visit my mom and got a run in. Did very well with eating goals while surrounded by all my favorites(doughnuts, cheese, desserts, cocktails), but I might have pushed it too far. Felt terrible last night and had difficultly falling asleep. Rest day today.11 -

7/17 - 185.4 - Had a great eating day yesterday, keeping it up again today!
7/18 - 183.8 - Look what happens when you eat and exercise properly consistently!
7/19 - 184.4 - Had a healthy eating day yesterday, think this might be sodium intake though. I had a handful of chips with supper last night.
7/20 - 183.8 - I am feeling a bit better this round so far. It's early yet and the weekend hasn't hit, but I am determined to stay on track.
7/21 - 184.8 - Didn't get the exercise in yesterday I was hoping for. Thunderstorms, rain and hail most of the afternoon and evening.
7/22 - 184.8 - Way too many carbs yesterday, feeling it today. Did get exercise and was under calorie goal though.
7/23 - 185.0 - Very high calorie day yesterday with lots of sodium. This will drop again in a day or so.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
7/17 134.0 Happily maintaining below 135. We didn’t eat until almost 5 so yesterday was a one meal day. My first keto-versary 167.5 to 134 in one year by changing to the ketogenic way of eating with no exercise.
7/18 132.5 DH, DD#2 & grandkids x3 were supposed to go 6 Flags in Missouri but DH has done something to his neck. He and I have no car here so no one left and kids will miss 6 Flags.(My diagnosis is pinched nerve which was tentatively confirmed by Urgent Care doc)
7/19 132.0 DD#2 just texted they are on the way. Two kids have to fly back to Las Vegas tonight because their mother won’t allow them to do something extra with our daughter. Family reunion is Saturday in southern Illinois. Now DH and I will be able to attend DHD#1’s graduation party on Saturday.
7/20 133.0 Had dinner late (waiting for DD#1 who is a nurse) at Cici’s. Pizza in a bowl, no crust. An interesting video I saw yesterday — https://www.facebook.com/JamesSmithPT/videos/1494099927361618/
7/21 132.5
7/22 133.0 Yesterday we celebrated our granddaughter who graduated on Tuesday from the Women in Recovery program. I ate a small piece of cake but everything else I had was within my plan.

7/17 - 148.6 - I wasn't feeling very well at the end of last round and just starting to feel better today so my weight might be off for a few days until I'm eating normally again. Would love this number to stick around right through the next 10 days though.
7/18 - 150.0 - Not worried about the weight increase, I'm still in a downward trend but feeling just an overall "blah" with life in general right now. Need to find a way to get out of this weird funk I'm in.
7/19 - 148.8 - I guess I'm back here again, alright. Maybe it'll stay this time.
7/20 - 148.0 -
7/21 - 148.4 - normal fluctuation... food and water were good yesterday. No worries here.
7/22 - 148.4 - holding steady
7/23 - 148.4 - With such a big drop at the very beginning I'm ok with hanging out at this weight for a few days. This week is going to be crazy as I'll be running around like a mad woman trying to pack for 4 people for a week vacation. Leaving Saturday, this momma can't wait to sit on the beach and actually be ok with my body in my suit.

1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
Round 47 - goal – loose some of the weight I have gained at parties and entertaining. Skip maintenance and truly put in effort this round. Its just 10 days, right?
7/16 weight 194lbs
7/17 – 192lbs – 2-pound loss is probably just an empty stomach.
7/18 – 194lbs – 2 pounds up - ate good yesterday. Guess this is just what happens when you weigh yourself all the time. I saw it coming last night when I weighed 198 before bed.
7/19 – 192lbs – kinda a good day yesterday. Had Chinese buffet for lunch and almost no dinner. Felt no hunger.
7/20 – whoops
7/21 – openhouse with awesome pasta bar. To go along with homebrew. Had so much food and adult beverages.
7/22 – working long and hard today. ate breakfast with wife, had 4 hot dogs, big filet of smoked lake trout, and had my homemade bbq ribs for dinner.
7/23 – 192lbs – considering the food choices this weekend I am very happy to maintain this weight. Had lots of people asking how and what I did to lose weight so quickly. I wasn’t allowed to answer because My wife says it was too fast and I shouldn’t tell people. Still I loved the comments and seeing the look on peoples faces. I still say maintenance is harder for me then losing weight.

7/17 / 227.6 at 6:10 / Backing away from my muscle repair and pho water retention. Another good eating day in the books yesterday and I woke up much more limber than yesterday morning!
7/18 / 227.4 at 7:20 / Feeling great. I'm experimenting with going meatless some days and finding it pretty easy. That helps me ensure that I'm getting plenty of fruits and veggies those days, and I try new foods that way, too. And 5 days since last Monday I've had days where I only drank water or (one day) tea. These little challenges are keeping me on my toes and very conscious of what I'm eating, which is a great thing for me, as I can get very much in a rut.
7/19 / 226 at 8:10 / Nice to see this number popping up again like an old friend! Yesterday was a day when I did lots of wall sits. Wall sits are hard, for the record.
7/20 / 224.8 at 6:10 / Pleasant surprises are pleasant!
7/21 / 224.4 at 8:30 / Obviously a much later weigh-in than yesterday, but I'm still pleased. I'm on a streak of great eating and exercise that I love. I know that I'll hit rocky patches, so I'm just taking pleasure in the occasional smooth sailing.
7/22 / 224.8 at 8:00 / Still cruising. I have a bit of a stiff back right now because of some ill-advised lunges. Boo! But I shall overcome!
7/23 / 224.4 at 8:35 / Great weekend. Only somewhat hampered by my back. Over 14 days straight of staying under calories and meeting exercise goals. In another challenge, we can do a version of bingo, where we fill out a bingo card with goals then try to fill in the squares by meeting the goals. Highly recommended as a way to find motivation!

7/17 - Tuesday - 195.4 - Feeling strong and fit. It was hot and humid yesterday - I would have laid on the couch in the air conditioning last year. This year I went for a 1 mile walk/hike AND went swimming AND cooked dinner on the grill (well DH did that I just hung around outside). Life is too short not to do those things. Friends are staying the night tonight as a stop over on their trip from FL to ME. Lots of clean up to do before they get there - but I wont go nuts. We have all lived together at one point or another so they already know what my house looks like regularly Nonetheless it will be a late night. Maybe I'll get a movie and eat ice cream while I wait for them, if it fits in my calories - this means probably another walk tonight so I can do that! I brought more meds to work today and remembered my fish oil - those habits had been suffering lately so looking to focus on improving that over the next 10 days. I kept my goal the same as last week but after thinking about it again I would like to be closer to 193 - I've been hanging around 195 for what feels like a while. I'm going to continue to consider that but not change it just yet.
7/18 - Wednesday - No weigh in - OOPS! Totally spaced it this morning. This is not a bad thing though. I was in the moment with friends visiting. For me, it's nice to know I'm not obbsessing over the number. I was also dog tired as they didnt get in until 5AM and I already had my alarm set to wake me at 1AM so sleep was minimal. So that also lead to not packing breakfast or lunch...poor planning on my part. But, I'll make the best of it! A reasonable choice at lunch and lots of water! We should be able to grill up some sausage for dinner and I've got some rice and veg ready to go! It never gets easier, but I'm getting better at figuring it out!
7/19 - Thursday - 194.0 - Well yesterday was great for seeing friends! I picked up salad and pizza and met them at home. It was nice to only work a half day and be able to see them (and nap) - so grateful to have that luxury at work. I was pretty good and ate all my salad first, then a breadstick, and then I had one slice later on. I couldnt resist the temptation of one lonely slice! I did cook dinner at home so that was a win! I almost went out to get ice cream but resisted and had a PB&J roll up instead. Still a treat, but not a 1200 calorie blizzard treat! I was able to rationalize with myself that I already had my "20" treat when I ate that slice of pizza - it was empowering to say I want it, but I'll have it another time. 95 day log in streak today and habits are starting to feel more like part of my lifestyle! And one that I enjoy!!!
7/20 - Friday - 193.4 - Visualized it this morning before getting on the scale! My clothes are feeling looser than ever. I was able to wear my favorite shirt today that had become too small - glad I saved it! Got out for a dog walk last night and made an effort to engage my core. I made it up the big hill easier than I have in a LONG time. I walked at a very brisk pace (my phone informed me) and didnt feel like I was dying after! Such an improvement from the end of winter when I started this loop. I remember walking up the hill saying to myself, "someday it will be easier." Yesterday was that day! My food choices have been leaning towards the comfort food side of things as we make these huge life changing decisions - but I have been mindful of portion sizes so I still enjoy what I'm craving instead of depriving myself of it and then binging. Last night was a risotto. Tonight might be pizza but I'll track it and be mindful! I'm trying to eat what we have in the house so we're not grocery shopping and then moving it all. Plans to do some closet purging this weekend to get a head start on packing! Happy Friday everyone!
7/21 - Saturday - 193.8 - early day to pick up our first tractor! Busy busy until just now. Ate whatever I could get my hands on thru out the day. Also did a dog walk and bath. Pooped. Tomorrow will be another busy day so I'm calling it quits for the most part today. Dinner will be raviolis because....because. I really would like to get some stuff thrown out tomorrow among other Sunday chores. I'm rambling. Bye!
7/22 - Sunday - 194.8 - Another early day to get tractor attachments. Basically drove all day long. Made sure to have smoothie before leaving yesterday. BK for lunch but just the sandwich, and water. Managed to get to the grocery store with a small list and stick to it. Cleaned the kitchen. DH made country fried steak for dinner. Ben and Jerrys for dessert - stayed within 1 serving size! I put a few things in a trash bag to donate late last night. I really wanted to get some form of moving done, so I did one small thing to at least say I started...it's going to be a lot of work!
7/23 - Monday - 194.6 - I think this might be the first time ever I've seen the scale go down on a Monday? My weekend diary does not look pretty - but honestly I'm proud of it. I ate a bunch of things I normally would have over indulged on. But I ate the correct portion sizes! I stayed around maintenance each day without prelogging, or tracking (I logged everything the day after, and even considered not logging it at all because I was embarassed!) I ate my protein shake again this morning - I NEED that extra protein in the morning but I'm usually not hungry. So I pared it back to just 1 cup of flax milk and 1 scoop, no extra milk or berries. Lunch is packed for today and I WILL cook dinner at home. Groupon for local mexican place is what I'm looking forward to on Friday! I think I will keep my goal as it is in writing but I'm going to visualize 193.6!

7/17: 333.0 (Corrected typo from yesterday)

7/19: 327.6 Well, I never expected that to happen. Incredibly surprised! Did well on my breakfast and lunch,
dinner not so much. I was so mentally and physically tired that I stopped at Wendy's on the way
home. Knew it was the wrong thing to do. I do this all the time--too tired to fix a meal so I stop for
fast food. This is where my trouble always starts. So, now that I have identified my major problem, I
have to work on the solution. After some research last night, I think meal prep on the weekend for the work
week will do wonders for me. I don't have to worry about "what to do" for dinner after a stressful day
at work. I can just come home and pop it in the oven/microwave and there I go! I will say the one
thing that is working for me is drinking water. It has gotten a lot easier to drink so much of it as
long as I put some limes in it.
7/20: 327.6 Well, no loss but I’ll take it. Did have pasta for dinner and I love my pasta! Need to work on portion size though.
7/21: 327.8 Pasta again. Love my pasta, but need to be more disciplined when it comes to portion size.
7/22: 326.8 Did really well today. Made good food choices. Need to keep with this trend.
7/23: 326.8 I’m happy about this weigh-in. Good weekend—went out with friends to a “MaryPoppins”themed tea party and then out to eat with family. Made smart choices, so I’m satisfied. Starting exercise today. See how that plays into the next weigh-in.

About me: 61, 5'7", in maintenance 125-129 since March this year. Serial loser and regainer of 20 and determined not to slide back up this time.
Round 46 report: Not a bad round, some faith-building workouts including more running, and 10-day average weight hits a new low though ending weight was at round's maximum, 127.6
Round 47 GOAL = Maintain weight, get some nice workouts in.
7/17 - 126.4 - yesterday under maintenance calories, got 40 minutes on the elliptical. I prefer the Cybex arctrainers because I can set the resistance low, let go the handles and just run on them. It's a sweatdripper!
7/18 - 125.8 - yesterday a smidge above maintenance calories, 13K steps just messing round (no workout). Slept badly last night and took migraine meds in the early AM, feeling better now but very aware that with a new stress source at work and a poor night's sleep, this could be a day of weak will.
Thinking how I can plan for that and have it feel like I am nurturing myself, not "depriving" myself. Will report tomorrow!
7/19 - 126.0 - Yesterday under maintenance calories and got 10K steps. Holding my own.
7/20 - 125.6 - Yesterday under maintenance calories and got 10K steps. It was a copy and paste day LOL
7/21 - 126.2 - under maintenance calories, ran 3 miles on treadmill, 12K steps total, and I am fighting hard for 23rd on my employer's "10K a Day" leaderboard ... hence all the completed days lately, I just realized I get a bonus every time I hit goal... I tend to value "hard cardio" over just "staying active" so this is kind of new. Taking walks on breaks with a friend at work, that's been nice.
7/22 - 126.6 - yesterday headachy and kindof meh, at least it was a Saturday. Did a lot of cooking. Did get 10K steps, but didn't log the end of my day.
7/23 -127.8 - WAAAY over maintenance yesterday, and didn't log, and didn't workout or get steps in and this was unplanned. Did a big canning project and felt unexpectedly wiped out afterwards.
I am going to go back and log when I get a chance, not to guilt myself, but for information. The old habit of guilting myself over food behavior is so strong, and so so counterproductive.

*Weight goal for this round carried over from last round 157.8 (the weight I jumped to in 2016 after my Europe trip, and only went up from there!)
*log every day
7/17 160.4 Last round was a yoyo but here we go again. Still having fun and enjoying the process. Not depriving myself but working on balance and being conscious of my choices.
7/18 160 Yay! I am so happy to get rid of that .4...This round should yield the 150's!!!
7/19 160 Is is cheating to take this though it was one of three weights when I stepped on the scale? Oh well, who cares, I am taking it!
7/20 159.8 Pretty good day even eating out at lunch. Enjoyed a nice morning shopping (mainly returning) and then lunch at True Food Kitchen, which has calorie counts listed on the menu! bonus! I estimated that they may be low when tracking, and stayed pretty much on target except for an extra spoon of chunky peanut butter, but it was just what I was craving.
7/21 158.2 Loving this big drop after last round's fail, though as I am learning the daily fluctuations are not the real indicator of overall loss. But still happy to see this number :-) I took the dogs for a walk before it got hot, and mostly stayed on target until after dinner. I have a weakness for sweets and "protein bars" are my current "legal" indulgence. I have a love hate relationship with them, because they are processed, not really that good, yet somewhat satisfy the craving and are measurable and semi non bingeable (as opposed to homemade cookies or scones, my former go-to for sweet tooth satisfaction) ***I just discovered and went for a Korean Scrub! Look it up and make it a reward! My skin is baby soft and it was such a unique experience!!***
7/22 159.4 Just got the HAPPY SCALE app, and for a data geek like me this is perfect! There are all sorts of way to track your progress and break the big goals down, love it! Thanks @MadisonMolly2017 for the recommendation! It tells me that if I continue at my current weight loss rate I will reach my final goal in 13 weeks. Love this!
7/23 WEIGH IN DAY 159 Yay! So happy to *FINALLY* be out of the 160's. To the 150's: I love you so much and appreciate your beauty, but am only passing through. I have been with you in the past, but its not where I want to live. I will be working hard to move on, and though I may occasionally visit in my future, it will only be a short one.

Round 47- 1st round
SW 175
GW 140
7/17- 175
7/18- 175 had a frappe today 🙄 but still stayed in my calorie range!
7/19- 174 woohoo! Don't feel so bad about having the frappe yesterday lol
7/20- 174 Had 1 Henry's hard grape soda last night. Didn't finish it all (didn't really care for it), still stayed in my calorie range. Other than this all I ever drink is water and 1-2 cups of coffee per day 😊
7/21- 173 yayy! I do not have a digital scale, it's just a basic old fashioned scale so I am not sure how accurate it is but I am definitely seeing and feeling a difference 😊
7/22- 173 Last night when I completed my food/exercise diary for the day, said I would be at 164.6 in 5 weeks if every day was the same! Awesome
7/23- 173 My scale said 171 when I first stepped on it and then I stepped on it again it was 173. (Really need new ones lol) I was actually a good bit under my calorie goal yesterday, not purposely. Started zumba last night also!
