NSV’s: no muscle soreness now at new level of steps!!! The skinny jeans (size 14) I bought a while back are now loose. Will use the washer/dryer on hotter settings this week! All measurements down another 1/2 inch. Bust, underbust, waist, bellybutton, lower abs, hips, right thigh ...
LOL Help! Help! I’m s-h-r-I-n-k-I-n-g!!!!! LOL
Genuinely curious what my final weight will be.

8/7 163.4 Lowest Weight so far in my journey!!! Trend wt: 163.8 Loss/wk: 0.7 BMI: 24.5
A big surprise for sure. Always seems as though when I’m not expecting it, my wt drops & when I desperately want it to, it maintains or bounces up. (Much cooler today which might account for drop.) We’ll see!
Beginning to actually feel thinner...

8/8 163.6 Trend Weight: 163.7!! Loss/wk: 0.6
BMI: 24.5!! Waist more defined- a miracle!!
Starting to think about new style for hair, eyeglasses, makeup, and what wardrobe I should create when I reach goal...before, this stresses me out- now, I’m looking forward to it!

8/9 164 Trend wt: 163.7 Loss/wk: 0.6 BMI: 24.6
Weight lifting and HIIT on Exercise Bike (both new to me seem to have bumped up my water retention. But I feel strong & lean!!
Decided to do HIIT on Ex Bike more often even though my step average drops- I could get heart rate higher & felt the muscles working!! It’s time!

Hi everyone - newish to this challenge (not to MFP!) and a bit late to this round... Goal for this round is to FINALLY get under 80 kg bc it is just way too high of a number for me and I am fed up with it. And I love the accountability this challenge gives me!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/06 80.8 kg (178.1 lbs)- down from the weekend, happy with this as it means I managed to stay within calories but still managed to enjoy myself.
8/07 80.6 kg (177.7 lbs) - another drop... Have to keep on keeping on! Planning to workout this afternoon but it is going to be SUPER hot so I don't know how motivated I will be. Have to remember to hydrate in any case!
8/08 80.5 kg (177.5ish lbs) - slow and steady! Gym was good yesterday, upper body workout, not too much cardio involved which was fine because it was SO humid and warm. Finally rained last night, I feel like I can breathe again.
8/09 80.5 kg -same as yesterday. Felt really bad yesterday morning, don't know why, probably heat and lack of sleep. Did stay within calories. Feeling a bit better today, so that's good.
8/10 81.1 kg - ugh. just, ugh. I guess this is to be expected bc I worked out hard yesterday and though I stayed within calories, working out gave me a lot more calories to play with so I ate a relatively large amount of food. But still, meh. Hope the combination of bloating and food baby goes away soon, but with the weekend coming up I am not so sure...

Joining this challenge and reading all your messages is really keeping me motivated.

"My goal for this period is to go back to my pre vacation weight that was 60-61 kg"

8/08- 63.2 kg, that makes it + 2 kg compared with one month ago and +5 kg compared with my target weight
8/09 - 63 kg. Pretty good day, kept it low carb on the diet and stop eating around 18:30. Done 1h of yoga that is kind of extreme sport for me. Same targets for today just changing yoga for a circuit class.
8/10 - 62.6 . Small progress but very happy the scale is going into the right direction. Have been good with food yesterday, kept it low carb as well, had my 2 liters of water and circuit class. Stop eating by 18:30 as well and despite my very calm evening with a book I resisted to the small voice in my head telling me that reading with a glass of red wine would be even more enjoyable. And this made me to sleep very well

Notes: Taking my starting weight as my first day weigh in as I finished round 48 while away and wasn't able to weigh in for the end of my last round.

--Catch up for the end of round 48--
Not good. Not good at all. Actually not 100% fair. Yes I was eating a little more than normal, but looking at Friday I didn't go stupidly over, and Saturday (unlogged) I only ate two meals, did lots of walking, and dancing. But there was a lot of drinking. A LOT of drinking. Ugh. Anyway, friday and saturday where okay, it was hangover day that really killed it:
8/06: 71.6 - Yesterday was not good. Riding back on a motorbike for 4 hours, on a hangover, was not good. We went and had a breakfast buffet around half 10. A terrible decision, not just for the waistline, but also the wallet. I used to be able to eat enough at these to almost make it worth while, but neither me, nor my boyfriend were able to eat enough for that. But we did eat enough (and slow enough) to mean that lunch was not necessary. Then the dreaded dominoes for dinner, of which I ate way too much. After the weekend I've had, and the salt in that dinner, I am not at all surprised with the jump in weight. Pretty sure most of it will be water weight, and will settle away soon. I will be tracking the next couple of days closely to see how it comes off.
8/07: 69.8 - Erm, well that went well. Going to really mess up all my stats, but further proof that one day a diet does not ruin. A really odd day. Normally I would've been at judo in the evening, but I wasn't feeling well (I'm still not feeling well today) so didn't go. In addition my tummy was all over the place, so tried to stick to something blander foodwise, and plenty of water. I'm expecting it was all that greasy and salty food over the weekend playing havoc so hopefully it'll now have passed. I'm certainly feeling better in that respect. Went over calories, but not massively. Reasonably happy with the day. Hopefully will be able to get down to the 69.3 again in the next couple of days.
8/08: 69.5 - Still recovering from the weekend. I'm expecting the scales to stop moving quite so dramatically now. Yesterday was generally good. Dinner was significantly smaller than I was expecting and so stayed well within calories besides snacking on nutella and peanut butter. Looking forward, I'm hoping to get to 69 dead before the end of this round. Then I've decided I'm going to take a diet break. I really feel that I need one. My last few weeks have been all over the place, and I think that some time not eating at a deficit will really help me refocus. I'll probably go for a week and see how that goes.
8/09: 69.5 - I always forget how filling, for how few calories, a stir fry is. Kept my calories low, and meant I was able to enjoy a mini milk and a carrot cake slice, and still be under my lower target. After a tough couple of days it's nice to have a super low day that I felt completely comfortable with.

8/10: 69.5 - Still here. Another great day yesterday! Super low breakfast and lunch meant that I could enjoy all the meat at the BBQ for dinner (which we were having even if it was raining a little bit). Passed on the bread meant that I could enjoy a welsh cake for dessert (yeeees) and still be under calories. And the nice mini milk put me slightly over lowest value, but still way within target.
As an aside: I've been feeling super tired all week, trying to work out if it's a cold, hay-fever, lack of sleep, a result of my deficit, catching up from the weekend, or something else. Hopefully it'll pass.
