Also starting adding body weight exercises in ever so slowly. The most difficult part for me will be to go super slow and not reinjure myself.
7/25 151 Today is day 2 of building back some muscle, yippie! It is only ten minutes of easy work but I was still mildly stiff from day 1 so I think it is enough for now. Weird to be excited about a bit of body weight strength training but it feels so good to be moving in a healthy direction.

Sounds great to me! I am in the same recovering from injuries boat. I haven't documented any exercise that I manage to do. It's still too intermittent and I'm afraid I'll push myself to try to exercise like I'm accustomed to doing. Pulled some weeds this morning, that's pretty much all I have growing this year. It's a good bonus workout for upper body, waist and abs though.

GW: 135
Day/Weight/Comment
7/17...176...trudging along. Looking forward to a drop in the weight eventually.
7/18...177...😒. Still staying within my means and exercising daily. It's been crazy hot and our ac hasn't been able to keep up so sleeping has been a little difficult. I'm groping around for excuses, it seems. I don't know. I know it'll catch up, but it sure is frustrating when nothing seems to be changing.
7/19...177...it's been crazy hot. Ac is getting fixed today- yay! stayed below my calorie intake yesterday, just barely- but had a shot of whiskey in a little Dr Pepper at the end of the day- a very rare occurrence. Tend to avoid glutinous foods because they give me gut pain but had some last Friday. Wondering if some of this sudden weight gain is inflammation from that.
7/20...174... hmmm. Love the drop but feeling a little skeptical.
7/21...175... hubby is right, it's like that clickery wheel on the price is right- never know where it's going to land. 🙄
7/22...177...WHAT?!?!?
7/23...177...
7/24...174...curious to see what it says tomorrow 😂😂😂
7/25...174...I'll whisper this so the 177 doesn't freak out and come back: "yay! Two days at 174!"

My first round

Round 47

Original Starting Weight: 230
Current Weight: 210.2
Goal for Round 47: 208
Ultimate Goal: 140

Day/Weight/Comment
7/17 210.6 Was disappointed. Hoping to go down had really watched what I had ate. Had a late supper because I had worked late, maybe…. Tomorrow is a new day. Need to drink water and watch what I eat.
7/18 210.4 at least in the right direction. If only I didn’t LNE last night. Urggg.
7/19 209.3 That was a great start to my day!!!!
7/20 207.8 Yes! Yes! Amazing! What a shock. No LNE last night! This could motivate me to stop eating so late and so obsessively
7/21 206.7 I don’t feel this is deserved (but I will take it) my inactivity yesterday is bound to show up some day.
7/22 206.1 Yeah!
7/23 207.2 Not surprising. Happy Monday
7/24 207.4 Ok time to go down again. - corrected originally had 204.4 wish
7/25 207 now we are heading in the right direction again.

ssssanaaaa · July 2018

R1: Lost 1.7 (SW 196.8)
R2: Lost 0.7 (SW 195.1)

SW: 198.1
GW: 192.0 (Steep but I'm going to be losing water weight since I hadn't been watching my diet the past week or so.)

7/17 198.1 I didn't finish the last round. I was upset because I had gained weight and when I do gain weight I just go through a time where I just don't care about what I'm eating. I REALLY want to fix this and be more flexible and just because I have one bad day doesn't mean I should sabotage the rest of my days. On top of that my relatives had come over making it even harder to watch what I ate. So here's to getting back at it.
7/18
7/19- 196.6 thank god the 198 was just a fluctuation. I'm going to try to make sure I don't fluctuate anymore. I did an 18 hour fast today which I broke a little bit ago. I feel pretty full right now so I'm planning on this one big meal to be it for the rest of the day which I think is doable. I'm going to be really consistent the next few days and make sure to stay motivated. I'm going to meal prep and everything.
7/20- 196.7 I accidentally weighed myself AFTER I ate lol so I'd like to think that this number would be lower otherwise. But we'll see tomorrow. I worked out yesterday and again today so I'm happy about that. I've been increasing the amount of running I do (at 6.5 mph) by 10 second increments every time I go for a run. I'm at 3 minutes and 30 seconds of running currently and started at 3 minutes. I know it's not much but baby steps. I believe this is the right way to go about it. Maybe by the end of the challenge I can get to 4 minutes straight of running?
7/21- 194.7 (told you so about the water weight lol) So I worked out yesterday. I can't go to the gym today so no running until Monday

but I'm going to try to do my mat exercises at night. I'll let you know how that goes. Already drank a half liter of water. Haven't had a proper breakfast. Going to go ahead and do that right now. I'm going to be under my calorie deficit today hopefully as well so that I can continue the downward trend. Really happy about this number. It motivates me to continue.
7/22 194.7 Was above my calorie limit yesterday. Won't be today. Couldn't get to my mat exercises either. Maybe tonight.
7/23 194.6. I was under my calorie goal so I'm not sure why I didn't lose a bit more. I have hope for tomorrow though. I ate light today and will be going to the gym soon.
7/24- 195.2
7/25- 194.7- I thought I ate a too much so I'm fine with this. I ate something that I wasn't able to actually know how many calories there was in it. So I'm happy I didn't gain instead.

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.
7/24 -126.0 - Yesterday under maintenance calories, 3 miles run and 2 walked, 17K steps. Did not sleep well at all. Normally not a workout day due to social activities, will see how it goes.

7/25 - 126.2 - Yesterday super overtired, 6K steps was all and a bit over calories. 9 hours sleep though - special!

Round 34 to Round 46: from 179 to 166 lbs
-13 lbs in 13 Rounds!

*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~*~*
7/17 165.4* Trend wt: 165.6* Loss/wk: 0.6*
7/18 165.6 Trend wt: 165.5* Loss/wk: 0.6*
Ate over maintenance by 150 calories (special event), but tracked all, and exercised an extra 200, to reduce surplus from 350 to 150!
7/19 165.4* Trend wt: 165.4* Loss/wk: 0.7**
BMI=24.8 Normal!
Blood pressure 107/69, pulse 58

7/20 164.6* Trend wt: 165.2* Loss/wk: 0.7**
BMI=24.7 Normal!!
Lowest weight & BMI so far!!
- 63.7 pounds (I had no idea I had this much to lose.) I will reassess when I get to 163 lbs. My doctor says my frame is medium-large. I’m guessing I have ~10 pounds more to lose, but who knows? I’m just taking it slowly. Quite the adventure.
7/21 165.4* Trend wt: 165.0**!! Loss/wk: 0.7**
I was bummed, but expected, that there would be a bounce up, but this is why I LOVE weight Trend apps (Happy Scale-iPhone, Libra-Android). Even at this wt, I have lost 3.0 Pounds in 30 days AND my Trend wt is lower than actual weight. I felt instantly better. Lowest trend weight yet! #There’sAlwaysSomethingToCelebrate
#We’veGotThis!!
7/22 165* Trend wt: 164.9** Loss/wk: 0.7**
Doing this.

7/23 164.2**new lowest weight** Trend wt: 164.6*** Loss/wk: 0.8*** BMI: 24.6!!!

7/24 163.8***New Lowest Weight*** Trend wt: 164.3*** Loss/wk: 0.8*** BMI: 24.5!!!
Very crazy. I’m sure it will bounce around, but I’m happy. I guess my body’s making up for the plateau-ishness of the past few rounds! No complaints. Inches coming down, too. Usually I get wt loss or inches. This is such a mental game: once I really felt comfortable losing more (worries about skin), I did - and my skin is actually looking better.

@puttyputty- It did get a bit awkward. One used the word drastic and I couldn’t decide if there was a negative connotation there. At least I know I’m not starving myself or anything.

I understand the fear of getting carried awaywith the exercise. I find it very difficult to start sooooo slowly. Pushing to hard to soon is what I did wrong before which forced my into a very long rest. Weed pulling is hard work.

I am in, but what a challenge this has been recently. I am not using my tools to do the right thing. I have an injury that is preventing me from really exercising like I am used to.

Oh, thank you so much, @tiabirdie56! So kind of you! You help so many of every single day!!!

(I know some don’t go by BMI, but I found it very motivating as a goal to get into Normal range these past couple of years & now it’s helping me figure out a final GW.)

You're welcome! You did the work! Yes, BMI started to take quite a bashing many years ago as not being valid. It is a good tool to use besides the scale. I still like to use it.

Day/Weight/Comment

17/06: 210.0
18/06: 211.0 - ate out yesterday

20/06: 210.4

22/06: 209.2 lbs ...

23/06: 209.2 lbs

24/06: 208.6 lbs …. YES!

25/06: 208.2 lbs ….

26/07: 207.6 lbs … oooh YEEAAAAHHHH!!!!

Feeling quite frustrated with these bumps, I need to just dig deep, stick with it and wait for the scales to start behaving again! - Looking for a downward trend to see out this round now! Really focused on my logging and on clean eating - which is what i love - it gives me ENERGY!

I am SO SO determined!! I 100% NEED to stay mindful about my daily logging and being mindful about what I eat and drink. I need to get into the HEALTHY BMI band.

This is a long term thing, a few bad days or weeks is something I'm getting better at coping with.

This is a major boost since I have been finding all the stalls and sometimes days or weeks of not moving mentally challenging. I have learned that these are my biggest triggers to making poor food choices (which is ironic, right?)

WOOP! WTG! @eminater I know that reaching that 50 lb mark is an awesome feeling.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ Round 47
