Day/Weight/Comment
8/26: 69.5 - Kept around goal
8/27: 68.6 - kept around goal
8/28: 68.8 - BBQ yesterday, I've probably under logged, but generally quite good. Lots of running around after the puppy. Slept VERY well. Also, because I've been catching up. Look! LOOK! Under 69kg! I have literally not seen 68.x since before stopped living at home! I AM VERY HAPPY TO SEE THIS! Been finding it easier to stick to the goal at the moment, so all going well right now.
8/29: 68.6 - Well this is officially 1 stone down. A target I wasn't aiming for until I overheard some work colleagues discussing weight loss (both of them started about the same time I had, and have lost similar amounts, I'm nosy, I know, but I was interested and they were discussing this across the office so whatever) And one said to the other "it doesn't really feel like you've made progress until you've lost a stone". Now I don't agree with her, however I get her point. There is something very satisfactory about being able to say "I have lost a stone". Although I'm working in kg, most people in the uk still use stone and pounds for their own weights. When asked how much I've lost, saying "oh about 6 and a half kilos" doesn't sound as impressive as "about a stone" (mostly because many people don't know how much 6.5kg is, whereas everyone knows that 1stone is actually quite a bit) Anyway, that aside, okay food day yesterday. Bread and butter tea so was quite tricky to log. Again, I made sure I over logged on some foods (cheese mostly) to make up for the almost certain underlogging elsewhere. Still, pretty good overall.
8/30: 68.6 - Another good day. Kept under calories, somewhat surprisingly considering my large dinner, but breakfast consisted of a banana (I wasn't hungry) so I banked some calories there. Lots of running around in the garden tiring the pup out (he slept through most of the night!) Not much more to comment. Going well
8/31: 68.7 - So tired. Went to bed at about half 9 yesterday and got the longest night sleep I've had in a week. Still tired though. Food wise, yesterday was under goals which is always good. Definitely feeling like today might be a tough one for me, though, so I'll let you know how I'm doing tomorrow.

I've been in a tiny deficit this week, could have done so much better but have done a lot of boredom eating, going to shift back to eating dinner later as I think this gave me less time to fridge-raid.
My aim for today is to stick to just dinner when I get home, no fridge-raiding, no excuses!
31/08
Managed to mostly avoid fridge raiding last night - did some time on the exercise bike and a strength training routine to keep me busy before dinner, which I ate around 9pm.
Aims for today are to make up the steps I would normally have gained from walking to work (took a taxi this morning as I had a voucher to use and liked the extra sleep before away camping the weekend).
Won't be able to log weight Saturday or Sunday as I'm away in the West Cork Wilderness.
Hope everyone has a lovely and successful weekend!12 -
This round will be tricky for me, as for the first half I will be abroad on a family visit, a trip which will be full of temptations in the shape of wine, cake, snacks and restaurant dinners (basically everything that I've so successfully been avoiding in the previous round...).
Therefore for this round I will mostly focus on maintaining and to stay below 65.5kg (144lbs).

8/31 73kg - i think my holiday is a few days late catching up. That should mean that my efforts this week will show next week, so I'll look forward to that and stick with it. Today will be difficult calorie wise as we have leaving drinks for a close colleague/friend after work (or from around 4pm). I also had a terrible chat with my boss yesterday, so my motivation is about zero. But I also have an interview at lunch today, just gotta find some positivity and confidence before that. I feel like a dark cloud is hanging over me, even a beautiful, but short run couldn't chase it away. On the plus side, I've completed my walking and running goals for August Sorry for the rant, I leave you witj this beautiful picture from my run, that makes me happy

Day/Weight/Comment
8/26 - 257.2...forgot to weigh this morning when I first got up.
8/27 - 257.2...bad food choices, no exercise and another late weigh in.
8/28 - 257.2...I really need to get my head back into this and re-find my motivation. Went for a walk yesterday but had take out for lunch and supper so I was still way over on calories. And I haven't been drinking nearly enough water..I keep choosing diet pop instead
8/29 - 257.2...did a little better yesterday. Still went over calories but not by nearly as much..stayed well under maintenance. No water yesterday at all, so I'm starting today with a huge glass, staying away from the diet soda and hoping I can finally get back on track and stay there.
8/30 - 256.2...100 oz of water and 3 walks yesterday. Went over calories but was still under maintenance.
8/31 - 255.4...100 oz of water and 2 walks. Ate within calories, well the exercise ones too. I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks but plan to start back tonight.

8/26 – 175.3 lbs Today I am wearing a tank top in my own house for the first time in many years. I wasn’t even comfortable with wearing a tank top when I was home alone! I’m so motivated again after the huge loss last round.
8/27 - 174.8 (-0.5) I am just feeling so motivated right now. Went out and bought new a new exercise outfit today (as my old ones were sizes XL-XXL and now I’m a M-L). Was so happy trying on clothes, that I could have bought everything they had if my economy wasn’t crying for help hahah. It’s an indescribable feeling to actually feel good when trying on clothes. Finally starting physical therapy tomorrow and I’m so excited I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep tonight. Really hope it can help with my super low blood pressure and my fainting. (I have Addison’s disease! )
8/28 - 173.9 (-0.9) I have no idea what’s going on here, but I’ll take it! I was stuck on 180+- for 2 months and now I’m just flying through 170? That’s fine by me! 😅 Did nothing else than reduce my carb intake and eat more fat/protein. Exact same calorie intake. Going to the gym to meet my physical therapist in an hour. Update on how it went tomorrow 😄 Super excited! Hope everyone has a nice day.
8/29 – 173.2 (-0.7) Physical therapy yesterday was awesome. Focused on balance and core. We decided that it’s smart to focus most on butt, hips and legs to start with. She was so awesome and understanding and didn’t want to pressure me until i faint. Gonna see her again on Friday :-D Aiming for exercise 5 times a week in the long run, but I have to build up a bit first.
8/30 – 173.0 (-0.2) I get so inspired by all the people who come here everyday and write about their journey. It means everything to read about your goals, weaknesses and strengths and not to mention the motivation behind your weight loss. Keeps me super motivated everyday. I have never been as motivated as I am after I joined MFP. Earlier I could go on these powder diets and feel like I was starving for a few weeks, then I would totally come crashing down with just a big feast of food.. And gain even more weight than I lost! Now, I'm looking at it on a whooole other level and I feel really good. I'm never hungry and I eat food that tastes good and does my body good. I can thank the myfitnesspal community for that. You truly are an inspiration
8/31 - 173.0 (—) After the weight going down everyday for two weeks, this is totally expected. Worked out for 30 minutes today. Balance training and legs/butt/arms. Feels really good, but I get very tired after! Think I actually have to take a little nap if I’m going to survive this Friday 🤭

8/26 - 149.4 - Oh come on! ugh, I give up. Not actually but this is really frustrating, time to find some motivation and something to finally get my body to start dropping the weight again.
8/27 - 149.4 - My 10 day average shows a loss so that's something I guess. Got to get back on track before these numbers tell a different story.
8/28 - 148.6 - well I'm finally heading back in the right direction, hopefully it keeps dropping each day this round.
8/29 - 148.6
8/30 - 149.8 - worked out yesterday, sore muscles this morning so hopefully just holding water and it will be gone soon.
8/31 - 149.8 - I even turned down donuts and pastries at work yesterday and instead ate grapes and yogurt and I still weigh in heavy. Ugh

8/26 - 154.5 - I've got a birthday party today, cataract surgery tomorrow, and a picnic next Sunday. I'm hoping I can drop a little weight this round with all the events this week.
8/27 - 155.5 - I think I ate around maintenance calories last night, so this was probably some water retention. I had my cataract surgery this morning and then I ate the leftover birthday food today, so tomorrow probably won't be any better.
8/28 - 156 - Ouch! Hopefully I can get back to work tomorrow and get back on track.
8/29 - 156 - I'm not feeling quite confident enough to get to work today, but I've been staying on track with my food the past couple days. I hope the weight goes back down soon.
8/30 - 155 - I'm back at my office and hopefully the weight will keep going back down. We're having a surprise out of town guest staying with us for the next few days, so I'll have to be mindful while we're entertaining him.
8/31 - 155.5 - I stayed within my weight loss calories, but I had one drink with my daughter to celebrate her birthday and then later in the evening, a glass of wine to celebrate my stepdaughter's possible home purchase. I always watch my calories so I can have a glass of red wine every evening with my husband. It is interesting how just one extra drink always seems to bump up my weight.

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.

8/26 162.4 new week new start. Ate good, walked around with my hubby but my water needs to be better, 1 liter. Hope everyone has a great week!!
8/27 161.6 90 min of endurance challenges (plank, crunches, pushups, squats) ate delicious healthy food and drank 1.5 liters of water. Happy to see this number!!!! I know (from experience) that if I keep this up I will easily reach the 50s. Having said that though, I know once I start my 50s those 10 pounds will be way harder to take off from the last 15. Not going to think about that now though, just planning to keep moving forward.
8/28-- 161.4 I drank a bottle of water before I weighed in....oops. Yesterday I had another boost of energy which I find is happening more often then it used too. I did 150 min of exercising, the only issue with that being I ended up staying up till 1 30 in the morning 😥😥 i took the day off because I am going to the hospital with my aunt for the day (nothing serious) so at least I got to sleep in longer then usual but i do need to better manage these energetic days. I was also less hungry, forcing down my food. I always feel like there is no comfortable medium for me I am either always hungry or not hungry at all. 1.6 liters of water
8/29 ---160.8 crazy morning..So happy I can finally post. Ate out yesterday (haven't gone out to a restaurant in forever) but grabbed all healthy alternatives and stayed within my calorie goal. I'm excited by this number but yesterday's lunch had tons of sodium so I am hoping that this number doesn't increase too much or at all by tomorrow. Walked a good amount of the day and didn't get around to my usual work out routine (guess yesterday was my one rest day this week) and drank 1 liter of water. I can't wait to see those 50s, but I am trying not to get my hopes up just yet...TOM will be here in a couple of days
8/30-- 160.6 my body likes to tease me as I reach a new weight range. Exercised for 90 min, ate within my calories and 1.6 liters of water. Hope everyone has a great day.
8/31-- 160.6 feeling bloated today. My TOM is supposed to be here this weekend so first comes the feeling of being bloated and fat, next comes a slight weight gain. Usually I don't get upset by a weight gain, knowing that it will drop immediately after my first day, this time around I am slightly peeved. I am so close to those 50s and now I am going to be teased lol. On a positive note I took my measurements yesterday and in the past two weeks I have lost 1 and a 1/2 inches on my waist and 1/2 inch on my hips....not too bad if I do say so myself. 1.5 liters of water yesterday, ate within my calories and 90 min of endurance training. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Round 50 SW 175.6
Round 51 SW 174.0
8/26 No Scale
8/27 174.0/I'm happy to be starting off another round with a loss. At the beginning it was difficult to see the forest through the trees as my weight doesn't decrease very much throughout each 10 day period, but my SW is decreasing over time. My goal for this challenge is to get down to the 171's or to start the next challenge in the 171's. I want to move beyond this decade. I have a trip planned in a little less than a month and would love to lose 8 pounds by then.
8/28 173.6/ Great! I didn’t drink enough water yesterday, but managed to stay pretty close to my calorie goal. It will be about 100 degrees F here today, so I will be drinking plenty of water.
8/29 173.8/ I’m happy to be staying below 174 for a few days in a row, I’m hopeful for a big loss this round. I know that I won’t hit the goal I was hoping for by September 15th but I’d like to be out of this decade.
8/30 173.6/ I had a doctor’s appointment this morning and the nurse congratulated me on losing weight since the last time I had been in the office. My weigh-in is tomorrow, I’m hoping to dip below the 173’s.
8/31 173.0/ This is the lowest weight I’ve seen since January and I’m really happy with it. I know that we’ll be eating out tonight, but I’m hoping to say within calories the rest of the weekend. I’d really like to leave this decade and hit the 160’s soon.

Lots of special events coming up this week. A champagne breakfast for a friend tomorrow, Monday a retirement reception for our beloved pediatrician, Wednesday a goodbye lunch for our summer staff who are leaving to go back to school (Ethiopian food - tracking that will be a challenge). Also on Wednesday our wedding anniversary dinner 32 years! , and on Thursday an end of summer ( ) BBQ. I am hoping for maintenance this round.
8/26 181 Yay! Nice start for the round.
8/27 180.4 First special event successfully navigated! Followed by a long walk with my son in the evening.
8/28 180.4 Second special event successfully navigated, Sparkling water to drink and one mini lemon tart. Was able to stop at one!! Gonna treat myself to a mani-pedi this evening in anticipation of my anniversary.
8/29 180.2 So close to a new decade - but not likely to get there today. Dinner may not happen as hubby is not feeling well, but lunch with students is on.
8/30 181.8 Not bad at all, lunch and diner were delicious. back on track and starting today with a workout.
8/31 179.8 !!!! I suspect its too good to be true - but I am thrilled. That is within spitting distance of my pre-baby weight (He's almost 22) Good motivation to stay on the straight and narrow over the long weekend.

Round 1
MFP Starting weight Jan 2014: 225 lb
8/26
8/27: 204.6. My start date. Off to a good start. 1 hour of exercise, 5 servings of fruits/veggies, 60 oz of water, and under my calorie goal.
8/28: 203.8. I got lots of walking in today and my legs are still sore from yesterday. I didn't drink as much water today and had popcorn and chicken fried steak so I'll probably see an increase in weight when I weigh again tomorrow morning. I was under my calories for today though. I completed my food log at the beginning of the day and substituted foods if I was craving something else.
8/29: 202.2. Another pleasant surprise this morning. My legs are still sore so today I used the stationary bike and did upper body strength training. Under calorie goal again. Tomorrow I probably won't have time to exercise so I really need to watch my calorie intake.
8/30: 202.2. No change. Goal for the day is drink water, stay under calorie goal, and try to exercise a little while even though it's a busy day.
8/31: 204.0. I felt stressed most of the day yesterday. I probably ate more calories than I thought I did. Didn't drink as much water. I didn't exercise. Had 1 beer. Time to get back on track today.

8/31--177.0 Couldn't even stick around for 1 day? Gah. I know I'm doing okay with my diet. This is just a plateau and I won't let it win. I could stand to step up my activity level.

Hmm - I somehow messed up my days last round. No surprises there as I have very little routine right now and all my days are bleeding together! Whoops.
8/26 - Sunday - 185.5*
8/27 - Monday - 186.5* - So much salt the past few days. And so much moving. Got the table done, last heavy thing is the grill. Which is HEAVY. Landlord gave us the extra weekend to move/clean, yay! Still on an emotional roller coaster with the house - change is really hard for me. My dad reminded me that I cried when he painted the house, and also cried when they got rid of a 20 year old couch. So yeah, even good change is hard for me. But I'm learning not to hold to tightly to my feelings - the feelings come and go a little easier these days - I know its okay to feel scared of change, but I have to let it go and feel excited too! Applying these ideas to my weight loss journey too.
8/28 - Tuesday - 185.5* - More pizza and salt last night. Pretty wild day at work so I did not eat much, then basically binged when we finally ate. Need to avoid too skewed of eating and find a happy balance again. I need to start eating my breakfast protein shake again - not getting enough protein in general. And I find when I skip it I'm more likely to put off eating until I'm ravenous and it does not end well. Reminding myself in ALL aspects of my life that simply trying is the first and biggest hurdle for me. I've been stuck in a fixed mindset, that if I try something and fail, I'm somehow less smart because I did not succeed. But I'm moving towards a growth mindset - that trying and failing does not take anything away from me, it only gives me an opportunity to learn and grow from it - so keep trying!!!
8/29 - Wednesday - 185.5* - Still using new house scale. Still hovering around this weight. Mom helped me clean the apartment yesterday. Moms are the best. Packed, loaded and unloaded 2 cars worth of boxes. We worked hard and it was so hot! Moes for dinner - ate half my quesadilla and felt full! Another scorcher today. Will probably unpack some boxes tonight, and finish final moving tasks on Saturday; final dump run, scrapper to pick up washing machine etc, AAA to tow car, and move the grill and garden. Trying to be gentle and kind to myself as we adjust and find our new normal.
8/30 - Thursday - 185.0* - A ridiculous day at work had me hardly eating again. Took my PM meds and ended up light headed and woozy. Not enough water, not enough food, not enough energy to cook, not enough AC in the world to keep our house cool. So we went to the grocery store and grabbed a cheeseburger plate from the market for $3 and 750 calories its my new "I need to eat dinner that's not take out but want take out" meal! Emptied two boxes and set up basement game room so we watched a movie down there where it was cool and didnt do much else. I know I need to drink lots of water and eat an adequate amount so I can finish this move strong. Definitely starting to burn out so I need to be mindful and work with my body, not against it.
8/31 - Friday - 184.0* - I seent it! Now to make it stay for this round. Tuna sandwich for lunch yesterday hit the spot - going to have that more. Dog park and quick sausage sandwich for dinner last night. Unpacked a few boxes. I put on a pair of khakis this morning that I havent worn in about 2 weeks and they are HUGE! So even though the scale has been pretty stagnant I feel very little! Also puts me about 1.5 lbs away from 30 lbs lost! The move has actually put me a little ahead of schedule so far and I'm being careful to remain at a healthy rate of loss, not so fast that I lose muscle. Final push to finsish apartment tonight and tomorrow - feels like such a neverending saga but theres a light now!
