Hoping to move to maintenance then, but we’ll see. If not, certainly by Jan 1st.
I have no idea what I should weigh LOL
It’s such a big mystery; What effect will this next pound have?

@MadisonMolly2017, What is your height again? 5'8" - 5'8.5" ? I'm 5'7.5" and a normal weight range for me is 135 lbs - 155lbs. So maybe your range is around 5lbs up? I say, get as low as you can and still be healthy, it's all good! Of course I want the lower number, but I GUESS I can accept 140. Lol. I went up and down that weight range until after my 2nd pregnancy at 33yo. Then I jumped to 165 and stayed there for 10 years.
And CONGRATS! on your weightloss!

@heymossy, Clothing is always the pivotal point isn't it? Keep up your good work, you'll be down a few sizes in no time.

@MD1978, Co-workers, as well as some family and friends will not be considerate of what you may be struggling with concerning food. You just have to do some positive self talk. {{{HUGS}}}

@wellnfree, No gain while away for 2 weeks? That is wonderful! It can be done.

@imanibelle, It's NEVER too late to join. Jump right in. See you tomorrow

@jerier, Is it alright if I jump in and tell you what OMAD is? I've been wanting to ask @Vanguard1 how long did it take him to get accustomed to it and did he start with conventional IF first. You are definitely rocking it!
*One Meal A Day @jerier*

@texasfarmer, Brachs Bridge Mix! Ugh. I salivated, lol. Used to be a favorite of mine from childhood. Yeah, stay away from that.

Need to get my life together. I did so good last year, I got close to my UGW (160), but got lazy with my eating habits in january. Its crazy how much diet affects weight loss. While i was still strength training and in the gym, I was eating trash and not logging or tracking and to no ones surprise I gained about 10lbs. I'm just going to call it at a "bulk" and get my *kitten* back on track to my UGW. These challenges helped me a ton last year and im hoping for it to do the same again.

Short term goal weight - 180 lbs then i'll get myself new workout clothes )

Goal for this round - lose 2lbs!

A good day. Tracked everything, made good choices with my lunch compared to what I would normally get. Was mindful with my eating and talked to a friend of mine who is a big source of support. Planning my meals for tomorrow so I don't get tempted at work!
8/17 : no weigh in
Good day overall where my food is concerned. Realised it was TOTM today (ugh) but stayed away from all temptations! I sometimes forget I'm doing this properly so nearly have a lapse in memory and head to the snacks! So far so good though. Day 4 of healthy eating completed.. feeling grateful!

8/16 85.6kg (+0.1kg) That's really fine after a 7 ounce lost overnight! I'm thinking of slowing down the weightloss, since I don't need to loose too much more weight (about 6kg/13lbs). On the other side, things go well and it isn't very hard on me to eat less. So not sure yet. I'm leaving in 4 weeks on a 3 week trip to Botswana and Namibia in Africa. Maybe I'll just continue till then the way I do now and slow down after the my vacation.... And how knows...... maybe I just don't wanna stop at 79 kilo's

8/17 85.9kg (+0.3kg) Went out on a lovely 5 course surpirse- dinner with my hubbie!
8/18 85.7kg (-0.2kg) The dog is back in the house, my steps per day goes up

4) To avoid alcohol as much as possible with all the upcoming parties and socials.


Day/Weight/Comment

16/08: 210.0 lbs … hotel scales. So it seems I’ve put on a bit during the road trip
17/08: 208.4 lbs … last morning at the hotel … final leg this afternoon.
18/08: 207.6 lbs … first weigh in back home → not a disaster! Overall gain of 2 lbs in 2 weeks
19/08: ** want to see a downward trend**

Looking for a general downward trend. Really focused on my logging, and on clean eating, and MOVING more - 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.

In for my 3rd. Last round I went off the rails for most of it but started to get it together at the end. This round I'd like to get below 250.

Round 48: SW 257.4 EW 253.8 (-3.6)
Round 49: SW 253.8 EW 257.2 (+3.4)

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 - 256...did fairly well yesterday, stayed just under calories and had a good amount of water. Only went for one small walk though. I'm not good in heat and it was hot and humid here..my body was feeling extra heavy and tired because of it. I had a huge craving for ice cream before bed but managed to keep myself from having it...yay! Lol
8/17 - 257.2...was not able to keep from having my cravings yesterday. Went quite a bit over in calories and had a lot of salty and sweet. TOM came around though so the cravings make sense. No exercise at all yesterday either, it was just too hot and humid, and my little guy has the flu so it was a lazy day. Back on track again today though.
8/18 - 256...did water fitness in the morning and weight training and cardio at night. Ate all of my calories plus about 1/2 of my exercise ones.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.

REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
