CGW: under 250 lbs. I almost hit 250 last challenge for one day.
IGW: 200 lbs
UGW: 150 LBS
Round 48 Loss=259-255.6 = (-3.4)
Goals
1. stay under calorie goal and tweek meals - the last week of the last challenge I had work that interfered with this.
2. up water intake - slowly improving here
3. increase exercise - the last week of the last challenge work and a Mariners game interfered but I went to the gym on another day to make up for some of that.
4. get enough sleep - I think a little improvement here

Stats = 5'4 female, age 48
Highest Weight = 172 lbs
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)
Round 49 Goal: to be in the 153's
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in week 3-4 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/weekday
Nutrition Plan = Continue to limit gluten, dairy, sugar, diet soda, alcohol & eat non-processed foods, protein/fruit/veg at every meal, complex carbs at breakfast and post workout meal, drink plenty of water.
8/06 - Weight = 155.2 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday was one of those days where you are super busy, but just don't feel like you get anything done. Somehow it was 6:00 p.m. and I hadn't even worked out, so I got my day 17 of 90 exercises in which was a really fun one: Down Dog Flow, Alternating Squat Lunges, Fighter Combo: Jab/ Cross/Jab/Knee, Reverse Table Top Triceps Dips, Prisoner Squats, Total Core Domination: V-Sit Ups Rolled to Supermans and Roll Back/Repeat), & Surfer Pop Ups. At the end I was super sweaty and so thought might as well go for a run, I can't get any hotter. It was still hovering around 90 but I was able to get a quick run in. Dinner last night was gluten-heavy, which I limit and only have maybe once a week. It was delicious but I felt like a brick was sitting in my stomach after, even though I was well within my calories. It just isn't worth it. I also had a realization yesterday, I've lost 16 pounds so far and have 16 more to go to be at my initial goal weight - Hooray! for the half-way point. Let's start this round off strong everyone
8/07 - Weight = 155.2 (no change, 3rd day in a row at this weight) So, my scale give me all sorts of info including water weight percentage and this morning it was up over a point from where it normally is. I am also still very sore from from Sunday's workout, so I think this static weight number is definitely my little muscle tears holding in a little excess water. I'm going to continue to drink a lot of water and foam roll my legs today and see what tomorrow brings. Yesterday my day 18 of 90 exercises was yoga and it was a flow that I did on day 11 of the original 30 day challenge. Interesting to see some strength gains from the 1st time I did it. There was 1 move where you go from down dog, lifting 1 leg up and to the side and then twist your body to that direction and raise 1 arm up - I can do that now and I remember before I had to modify it. Yay, for seeing improvements!!
8/08 - Weight = 154.8 (down .4 from yesterday) I can feel my stress management declining a bit, feeling a little snippy with my family the past 2 days. I'm still not sleeping well and then the stress creeps in and healthy food choices start to slide, and then you don't want to exercise. It's a slippery slope, friends! But I'm not falling for it Today is a rest day in my exercise challenge, I'm going to do a little self care and work on getting my stress in check and hope for some better sleeping tonight. My nutrition and exercise are still on point. I completed day 19 of 90 exercises yesterday which focused on the posterior chain, still super weak in that area, + legs/booty , where I am definitely seeing much improvement. I am heading out of town on Friday & will take my scale with me and continue to check in. We are going to NY to see family, I'll stay just for the weekend and then come back home but my daughter will be spending the week there with her cousins. This will be the longest time we have ever spent apart but I think it will be good for both of us. I'll miss her tons, and probably worry a lot, but looking forward to a week of all "me" time.
8/09 - Weight = 153.9 (down 0.9 from yesterday) Wasn't expecting this number on the scale today, but happy to see it! I enjoyed my rest day yesterday and went to a spa for massage and pedicure. Lovely day! Busy, busy day today, I've got a ton to do at work, at home, & running errands to get ready to leave town tomorrow. Plus, have my day 21 exercises to complete and this a hard workout, will be sweating buckets with this one. In my 90 day challenge, there is a 5-day mini challenge within the challenge that was supposed to start yesterday but I have pushed that off until Monday when I get back home and can focus better on it. The mini challenge is a nutrition one, so I kind of need to be in my own kitchen for it. Hope everyone has a great day today..."Today is your day. Start fresh. Eat right. Train hard. Live healthy. Be proud."

8/05-191.2
8/06 - Monday - 192.8 - Late night emotional eating got me last night. Got a little overwhelmed by all the boxes and moving and change and just mindlessly snacked on anything I could get my hands on after dinner. Logged it all and moving on today. TOM still imminent. Chocolate cravings are slightly less thanks to magnesium lotion. But I'm pretty moody and letting my food choices get the better of me. Lots of water today! I did manage to make dinner for tonight while food prepping last night. It will also be lunch for tomorrow. I know I'm stressing because I woke up with a costochondroiditis flare up - aka feels like an elephant sitting on my chest. And my sciatica flared up yesterday but that is feeling better today. But man, stress really does manifest itself physically for me if I'm not mindful! Taking today and tomorrow relatively easy while we await more moving boxes to be delivered and final word on closing date. I'm really happy I feel physically fit enough to do the move ourselves - 4 months ago I would have laughed at the thought.
8/07 - Tuesday - 192.4 - Well yesterday was fun. Had a full blown anxiety attack in the car out of the blue. Tried some self soothing techniques in the car, but with my painful chest it got to the point I couldn't catch my breath and I was beyond help for about 5 minutes. It was not fun - thank goodness DH was driving. It's funny to me that I'm in a better head space than I have been in a long time but my body insisted on a meltdown. Took some kava tincture when I got home and it helped big time. Emotionally ate a PB&J. Feeling a bit better today. Closing is scheduled! Many stressful days ahead so I REALLY need to be mindful, kind to myself, and as prepared as I can be moving. Had protein shake, brought lunch and chicken defrosting for dinner - still heading in the direction of my dreams!
8/08 - Wednesday - 190.8 - The heat was brutal yesterday. We grilled chicken thighs for dinner but I just had no appetite - so we saved those for lunch today and had some snacks later in the evening when I was a little hungry. Thought about eating a meal just to eat a meal but I just couldnt stomach it so I had some calorie dense salami and cheese - calories were not bad at days end. I feel better today - good morning with protein shake, packed lunches, and I can cook something for dinner - pigs in a blanket probably. The next few weeks I am on a strict financial diet too. I've been practicing small habits over the past few months; no coffee drive thru except Sunday, no take out for lunch, and only one take out/week at most. I'm going to extend that to no clothes shopping for the next month (at least - trying to hold out for a whole new wardrobe come spring). I also want to stick to a strict(er) grocery budget - we typically spend $100/week for 2 people including all home products too (toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc) but I think I can realistically get it more towards $75 on the regular with some smarter shopping. I'm realizing that the next few weeks my priorities are going to shift to 1. mental health, 2. finances, and 3. Healthy eating. This is OKAY, this is GOOD, this is preparing! I've been so focused on the healthy eating and I've been lucky and privileged to be able to do so without much hinderance or distraction, and every opportunity to buy what I need to help me along. I will absolutely be continuing with my habits, but I'm trying to be realistic in what to expect in the next few months moving into a new house - being as on point as I have been will probably be hard, so I will NOT beat myself up over it. Trusting the process more than ever now and excited to build more healthy habits in all aspects of life.
8/09 - Thursday - 190.4 - Got a good amount done yesterday. I made a packing station with boxes and supplies, purged the pantry (of under used accessories - food purge will be another day), and DH did the back hall! Another car load of stuff to the dumpster/donation bin. I prelogged dinner - I was full about half way thru it but I just kept eating because "I had room in my calories." I finished eating and was like ugggh why did I eat all that - so that was a lesson is paying better attention to my hunger/full ques. Took some french apple sausage out of the freezer - no idea what to do with it - but dinner at home! I was originally thinking stuffed zucchini or other fresh veg - but don't have any of that! I'll figure it out. Leftovers from yesterdays lunch I didnt finish. Had protein shake for breakfast and woke up 20 minutes earlier - progress!

8/6 / 225.4 / Goodness, I'm retaining water like crazy. But I'm eating well and it will all shake out in the end!
8/7 / 223.6 / That's better. As part of another challenge, I did cardio and jumping jacks and drank SO MUCH WATER yesterday. Note to self: Do not drink a lot of water and then do jumping jacks.
8/8 / 225.2 / That one is a bit of a surprise. Hmm. I am back to tight rings and retaining water. But I'm still eating well, still getting my butt moving. Jumping jacks, crunches, and water, along with something that will amuse people of around my age: I decided to dance yesterday as a workout so I learned how to do the Hustle! I was a line dance of ONE.
8/9 224.2 / Bouncy bouncy! Still eating well, still exercising. Jumping jacks, crunches, 3 miles walking, and water.11 -

I'm back...I was away for the last couple of rounds. My kitchen has been under renovation since the first week of July and I have been without a kitchen and in an upheaval since then. I have basically been eating at maintenance as I lived through the renovation. Considering all the stress and the difficulty in making meals, I am happy to say that I am basically at the same weight now as when I started the renovation. Even though the kitchen won't be completed until tomorrow, YAAAAA!!!, and we still have to get the kitchen organized, I am ready to get back at losing. (I thought I had posted yesterday, but I can't find my post.)
Goals:
1. Beat sister-in-law in weekly step competition
2. Do some form of intentional exercise 7 of 10 days (2/7)
3. Get water in
Day/Weight/Comment
08/06--222.8 Went to the in-laws this weekend, so there is definitely an uptick due to increased sodium from eating out. The positive is that my sister-in-law and I, we both have Garmin watches, are now in a weekly step competition with each other, so that will definitely be a motivation to get more steps in this week. I'm going out for a walk at lunch and then Zumba tonight. Making sure to get my water in today.
08/07--221.3 Got to use the fridge in the kitchen yesterday! Who knew these small things in life could be so exciting. Today is the last day of kitchen renovations and tonight I will be able to use the stove for the first time in 33 days. Went to Zumba last night and so far I am ahead of my sister-in-law in the steps competition. I will go out for a walk at lunch again today, but as tonight I will mainly be spending my time going food shopping and organizing the kitchen I'm not sure how many steps I will be getting in today.
08/08--220.6 Sister-in-law is currently about 100 steps ahead of me, so the competition is tight. Was hoping to organize the kitchen last night, but quickly realized what a daunting task that was and quickly lost motivation. I did organize the utensils, so I'll take that as an accomplishment and will do some more work this evening. Tonight is yoga and with the mini heat wave we are having in the PNW, not sure how much extra walking I will be able to get in tonight; however, I will go out for a walk at lunch when the weather isn't so bad.
08/09--220.0 Yoga was great last night. Sister-in-law is currently 5k steps ahead of me, ARGHHH!!! Today is the last day of the heat wave, so I plan to walk at lunch again and depending on how bad the weather is tonight I plan on going for a long walk tonight. Still working on organizing the kitchen, but considering how hot it will be inside the house this evening not sure how much organizing I will be doing.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

@MaeC130–I had a high carb day yesterday and it DID show up on my scale. What I find interesting about everyday weighing is the little (and sometimes not so little) fluctuations. 4

6: DNW
7: 209.8...Post-vacation weight. Did a 12-day road trip with my 3 kids from Wisconsin to Yellowstone National Park and visited all the major attractions on our road; and some less known ones as well. We had a great time, and while I didn't know how much weight I had gained until today, I did know that it was significant. And it's ok! Getting back to IF and HFLC will release a good portion of it fairly quickly as long as my hormones cooperate. Lol. TOM started yesterday. PS - Best food we ate on our trip... Smoked Buffalo Ribs. OMG... To die for!
8: 203.7...??? Overnight? I mean, I ate REALLY well yesterday, drank 80 oz of water, and let myself have a lot of road trip recovery rest, but it still seems a bit of a leap. Heck, I'll take it, but I'm not confident that my scale is being honest with me. Lol
9: 203.3... Surprised to see this after yesterday's massive drop. I really thought the number would be higher today; as in closer to being accurate. This is good. I made it to the gym yesterday for the first time in a long while. I started to get a blister on my heel before I was otherwise ready to be done, but I'm glad I made it there at all. Planning to go again today after I wrap my feet a bit.

8/06--170 well that's not good. I went to a barbecue and thought I did well in eating and also walked the majority of the time so I wouldn't be sitting ...guess that didn't work too good. I'm disappointed in myself but that's another lessoned learned. Back at it tomorrow.
8/07--171.8 this is really weird, I had a rest day yesterday when it came to exercising but I ate good and stayed under my calories...This is crazy!!! 3 pounds in two days....wwwwoooooow. I guess the rest of the week I am going to have to work extra hard to get back to normal. I also noticed my TOM is in a couple of days and I do tend to get bloated and retain water, so I am hoping it is at least half the reason I have seen such a drastic gain in a few days. Sunday was the only day that was questionable, so this is pretty ridiculious. Had 1 liter of water. Well we will see..
8/08-- 169.4 ok well that is a nice drop. My TOM arrived this morning, 2 days early, so I was right about it being half the issue. Lol. Now to work off the rest of the excess and get back to my start weight and continue my downward trend. Ate well yesterday stayed below my goals, exercised and drank 1 liter of water
8/09--168.4 another drop and close to being back to where I started. Between the water weight and last Sundays off day, it's crazy how many days it takes to retake it off...shhhheeeesssh. I ate under my calories yesterday, ate mostly salad but exercised very little. My apartment was flooded after an extremely heavy down pour Tuesday night so right now I am all turned upside down. Today I am will be getting back to my exercise routine. I also need to remind myself to drink more water. Lately I have only been having about 1 liter.

@taxgirl1 it's amazing how well your doing given that your kitchen is under renovations. I don't know how you do it. I remember I had to house sit this one time and I was completely uncomfortable with eating their food and using their appliances so I ate out every day. It was the worst week diet wise. Your doing great!!! Keep it up!!
@denswrex your pup is soooooooo cute!!!
@gmiller725 ❤❤❤❤❤❤ congrats on the marriage. Wishing you both a long and happy life together!!!6 -
ROUND 7 FOR ME - Female 58 yrs old 5’ 5” Midwest USA
………We are fierce and so we fight………
Goals: 1. To be an inspiration to my 22 year old Autistic son who started his weight loss journey on May 1, 2018 weighing 308.4 . (He weighs in about once per week- 10 days)
2. 3 lb loss to land at 182.4 or less for myself
3. No Bingeing
4. No “cheat days” only “Earn days”. No “Earn Days” only “Earn Meals” which are much easier to bounce back from.
5. 10,000 steps per day. Mixed modes of exercise.
6. Lots of water, green tea daily, apple cider vinegar before carby meals.
7. Check my blood sugar daily for improvements.
MY STATS:
Original starting weight: 235 lbs. on 1/11/18
R43 SW= 193.8 EW= 195.6 +1.8 lbs Gain
R44 SW= 195.6 EW= 192.4 - 3.2 lbs Loss

8/09 - 180.8 What???? Well I love the look on the scale, but yesterday was national pee day for me. All day, All night. Obviously temporary water weight. I am still sick, calories a little low, but ate lots of non-starchy veggies which has me hit my carb limit first. All healthy eating. Plenty of fluids. No planned exercise. Not nearly as much movement because I felt so lousy. I still feel very bad today, but work will dictate that I get more movement in today. I am hoping to feel well enough for a nice brisk walk tonight. We shall see. YESTERDAY’S STATS: 23 Net Carbs. 966 Calories In / 2397 Calories Out. 8,080 steps. 3.42 miles for the day. 13/13 (250) step hours.

I loved seeing that number this morning I am pretty sure it will go up and down a little bit, over the course of this round. As long as it stabilizes within the next few days, I will be happy. I am moving towards working out every other day, as I do push myself really hard when I do workout. I am also thinking of starting to focus on toning up and strength training as well. Need to do some research to figure out which workout would be best for me. Need to do better with getting enough sound sleep and drinking enough water.

8/09 - 147.0 - A little bounce back but also had pizza and wings last night so it was definitely expected. Might see another jump tomorrow as I'm taking the kiddos out for lunch and school shopping today.
