Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 145. Hanging steady, and I think I saw the needle nudging toward 144. Made time to be active yesterday and it felt so good! I picked up a midday snack yesterday that turned out to be 780 calories! It was printed right on the bag, but I didn't read it until after I ate. Oops. A light dinner and exercise helped balance the day.
9/06 - 144. Yes! Did a little fist pump when I saw a loss this morning. Today, I'm wearing a pair of pants that I bought during Round 47. I had to add a belt.

-69.1 lbs in 979 days, ONLY 21 days until my 1,000th day!
(1 lb every 14.17 days on avg)_
-45.8 since Sept 27, 2017 (344 days)
(1 lb every 7.5 days on avg.)

* Health!!! Focus on health!
* * Micro changes in habits each week create magic!
* Daily exercise - even a mild stroll- makes a big difference...
** When you most feel like giving up, and you keep going, that’s when the scale really drops!
*** I had given up on dieting, and had forgotten completely how good it feels to be lighter.
****Everything is easier and pain free. A miracle. Hiking longer, steeper, faster...
*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~*
Round 34 to Round 51 from 179.4 to 160.2 lbs
-19 lbs in 18 Rounds!

Cutting out little bits of foods, all tracked, that I’d gradually added in to increase deficit for the final 5-10 lbs. hopefully that will be low enough. If not, 145 is my “final answer”! LOL

@allmannerofthings & @Snowflake1968 Impressive- way to go!! I love averages!!!

& Averages prepare us for maintenance, I feel!! Happy Birthday in advance @Snowflake1968 !!!

@deb52866 & @DebCountsAll
Totally agree re: posting SW & how empowering it is as we lose.

And whether one has 100 or 50 or 10 or even the need to gain weight, we are all facing challenges head-on. No stage easier or more difficult than the other. OK, I take that back, I found the middle difficult..down 30 lbs, but no one really noticed & not really looking as I wanted to in clothes. I just kept focused on habits & walking with a 4lb per month goal, and got through it.

I'm was disappointed with myself last night after a mini-sugar binge. My wife brought home a chocolate brownie cake that was not good for my calories. But this morning I was down 2 lbs so I'm not so upset. I'm also remembering it's more about the fact that my mini-binge was for a few minutes instead of giving up on an entire day of good eating because of a minor mistake.

@heymossy Congratulations on that belt!

@MadisonMolly2017 I can totally relate to that "invisible" 30 pound mark. Thank Goodness I'm finally past that now. It can be discouraging, but I agree about pushing past it. At some point, EVERYONE notices the weight loss and all the effort pays off in many ways!

05/09 Had a pretty active day yesterday, good logging too (tiny bit over - cardio hunger kills me everytime lol). Non-scale goal challenges going well so far this month. Today's aim is to finish at or under my calorie goal and get a good upper body workout in this evening before heading out on the water for an evening row.

06/09 Stayed under calorie goal yesterday, got a lot of exercise in (walked 7km, rowed a couple of km, upper body strength workout), macro split was perfect - for once - until I realised I didn't have as much cereal at home as I thought

07/09 Started Carb Loading for Saturday's race (I am rowing a traditional Irish boat 22 miles up the River Thames), also Shark Week so weigh ins will probably be a little erratic this round with a bunch of water weight coming off this time next week. Will be logging food whilst away but most likely at maintenance/just above.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05: 68.6 - That random fluctuation has come back down to normal levels
9/06: 68.4 - Keep dropping down. MFP has just told me that I've lost over 50% of my goal. That's pretty big to me. Been having a really tough time with the puppy the last few days, feeling tired, feeling hungry, feeling lazy. Had a glass of wine last night (really not very good wine, won't be buying that one again) but still kept within my range (all be it right at the top of it). Did a lot more standing and walking and heavy lifting yesterday than normal, so probably fine.

9/07: 68.0 - I do not deserve that. Yesterday wasn't a good day at all. Over all goals. Free breakfast at work (sausages sandwiches) so ate too much then. Saved some for lunch and so had that in addition to my actual lunch. Then I ate dinner even though I wasn't at all hungry. And had some wine. Sigh. Not good for the calories, but I'll get back on it today. The drop on the scales is definitely not fair on myself

9/06 - 66.4kg - that dinner was worth this temporary gain

9/07 - 66.3kg - sugar binge yesterday, which resulted in a stomach upset. When will I learn?

9/07 71 - the needle is so close to being below 71, but not quite yet. TOM is here and I have a hen do tonight, so may use this as an excuse to indulge a little. I estimated a lot yesterday, lunch and dinner, and then went over in the eve as i needed some snacks. I didn't go crazy, but it was more than I should have eaten. Was bloated like a baloon in the eve, so I knew TOM was imminent. So maybe I'll get below 71 over the weekend if I don't lose control completlely
