I'm trying to do this slowly because of breastfeeding.

Round 51 SW 77kg EW 77.2 kg

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 77.2 kg Mostly chose the right kind of foods, or just forgot to eat. Stayed under calorie goal. Yaay!:)
9/06 74.9 kg In the previous round I was around 76-75, and the last two days it jumped up to 77. I do drink a LOT (3-5 liters) due to breastfeeding, so I was hoping that's just water...
9/07 74.7 kg
9/08 Away for a wedding - no weigh-in
9/09 Away for a wedding - no weigh-in
9/10 75.2 kg Ate loads for two days, so was surprised to see this number. Will try to get back on track today. Lots of housework to do - equals lots of exercise.

9/07 - 247.8 FIRST DAY of the rest of my life
9/08 - 247.4 eating well thinking of food as fuel and including lots of fruit and veg
9/09 - 247.6 “cheat meal” last night but stayed within total allowed daily calories so not sure that was right... it’s only week one can’t mess this up yet I’m more aware of my eating and making better choices so that’s good right?!
9/10 - 247.2 big family dinner last night but balanced that with lighter options during the day

Thank you so much @GrandmaJackie for keeping these up and going!!

Goal for this round is to finally get under 250 (248 would be nice) and stay there.

Round 48: SW 257.4 EW 253.8 (-3.6)
Round 49: SW 253.8 EW 257.2 (+3.4)
Round 50: SW 257.2 EW 255.8 (-1.4)
Round 51: SW 255.8 EW 252.4 (-3.4)

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 251.4...100 oz of water, under calories and 35 min. walk.
9/06 - 251.4...100 oz of water, under calories and 80 mins. of walking.
9/07 - 251.4...125 oz of water, under calories by 7 and 25 min. walk. Drank extra water in an attempt to try and fill myself up because I was craving junk. Was able to stay away from the cake and cheesecake but ate a chocolate bar. Normally I would have broken down and eaten all of it.
9/08 - 252.4...66 oz of water, extremely over calories and a 60 min. walk. Yesterday was a planned off day, I still need them once a week or I would probably give up on everything. As time goes and I lose more I'm hoping to cut them back. On track again today though.
9/09 - 252.4
9/10 - 252.4 66 oz of water (was going to have more but my son had a bad night and I had to go to bed with him, super early) under calories and 58 mins. of walking. Hoping to see the numbers start going down again tomorrow.

9/07 178.6 Meals were all provided at work yesterday - full day of all meetings. So happy that this is not higher. Went for a lovely long walk with my son in the evening which was a great antidote to a day of sitting.
9/08 179.4 don't know why its up - stayed under cals yesterday. lots of stress at home today so i will have to work hard on not eating my feelings away. Did a boxing workout this morning hoping that will help.
9/09 180 I know it is just a matter of nature needing to take its course, but I still don't like it.
9/10 179.6 Feeling very sluggish. The weather has turned cold and grey, rain forecast all day - gonna have to find inspiration somewhere else today.

Day/Weight/Comment

9/05 - 154 - The scale actually flashed at 154.5, then it went to 153.5 three times, so I went with an average. I realized after I posted yesterday that I started this challenge 120 days ago. I've lost 20 pounds since starting this challenge and received a lot of good advice from reading comments. I don't know if I would have stuck with this weight loss without all the support and empathy from this group. Thank you to all!
9/06 - 152.5 - Well, there's a little whoosh!
9/07 - 152.5 - I'm really surprised I didn't have a little bounce back. I'll take it.
9/08 - 153.5 - I had a late and salty dinner last night and then I woke up very early. We also ended up eating at a burger place tonight due to some crazy errands. I've stayed within weight loss calories, but I'm expecting another bump up tomorrow.
9/09 - 152 - We started remodeling our bathroom, so I had to move my scale to a different room. I think I'll keep it there! I'm not sure how accurate this is, but it's OK with me.
9/10 - 153 - This looks a little more realistic based on the salt I ate this weekend. Back to work and back to drinking lots of water.

9/05 -- 160.8 slowly coming on down. I don't usually eat after 7 but last night was a super late dinner at 11. I got in 150 min of exercise, which means I was up till 1 30 😥😥😥 and drank 1.5 liters of water. Hope everyone else has a good hump day!!

9/06-- 160.2 worked out for 90 min yesterday, drank 1.5 liters and stayed under my calories. I usually stop eating after 7 (8 the latest) but last night I had a craving for munchies, so ended up having a couple of mini crispys and a mini chocolate bar at 8:30. Buuuuuuut the NSV is I only ate one mini chocolate and stuck to 24 crispys (they are the rice cake kind) where before I would have over indulged on both until there was nothing left.

9/07--160.2 worked out for an hour, drank 1.5 liters and ate under my calories. I think I have officially hit my plateau. This week I haven't been the best with getting breakfast in. I have been so motivated and consumed with exercising that I have missed breakfast and lunch all week and only have been eating dinner. I have tried planning out my meals for the week to stop this but that didn't work out too good. I already know OMAD doesn't work for me and on top of it, after dinner I tend to get the munchies if I don't eat all day. Like the night before I ate some chips and chocolate and last night I ate four turtles after dinner. Of course it was all still in moderation and I didn't go over but I don't like when I get mindless cravings. I have no problem with having a treat here and there but having junk be my go to when I'm still hungry isn't ideal. So this morning after weighing in, I ate. I will see how this goes.

9/08-- 159.6 WHAT WHAT WHAT??? yesterday I caved and ended up eating a crazy amount of chocolate, although I still stayed under my calories, it obviously wasn't the healthiest day. I did exercise, even if it wasn't as much as usual and I walked. I drank 1 liter of water. It is so weird that I usually work out like crazy, eat well and get the majority of my water in but ended up plateauing for a little over a week, then the day I didn't do as well and I ended up pushing under the mark. I am a little sceptical, I will wait to see if this doesn't change by tomorrow before I get too excited. But I am hoping this is it.... me in the 50s 😃😃😃 I am going to watch closely though, third day eating chocolate.... don't want this to turn into a thing

9/09-- 159.4 so I guess I have settled here 😄😄 yesterday was my MILs bday but I made sure to drink water and order the healthier options, a big NSV for me. I used to think going out meant I didn't have to stick to my healthy eating and was a good time for a break but it went great . Ate within my calories, drank 2 liters of water and took extra long walks. So far this weekend has been going great.


9/10 --157.6 woooooosh!! I couldn't believe it, had to check three times and this number kept coming up. 😄😄😄😄 woot!! I am back to the weight I was last January!!! I remember being dissapoined that I had gained so much weight over the holidays (and although I recommited to a weight loss journey, I gave up early and just continued to gain) but I couldn't be more thrilled to see it now!!! This is so emotionally exciting!! Yesterday I went for my first light jog in 10 years and although I didn't expect much from it, I did better then I thought. I completed two sets of 15 minutes (with a minute of fast walking after every five minutes) and although this doesn't seem like a lot to those people who jog daily, this is a big victory for me. It goes to show you really don't know what your body is capable of until you test it and it's limits. I ate great and drank 2 liters of water. Thanks to everyone in this group, with all the supportive (and sometimes competitive) people I not only stuck to it but achieved way more physically then I have in years. Thank you everyone for all your day to day stories, without them I would have felt discouraged with every gain and plateau but with them I haven't felt alone. You guys have really helped me learn a lot!!! Thank you.

9/05 280.8 Started on eating plan
yesterday, didn't weigh so using
today's number as my start.
9/06 278.4 great start. Traveling for work
today. Flying always throws
me off. Today though, I am
feeling like I can do it!
9/07 276.8 managed to stay focused!
9/08 277.6 So much to do today!
9/09 276.2 My energy level is great. Six hour drive coming up today then staying in a hotel, my home away from home, for 4 days. Solo drives are always a challenge for me because I want to snack. I need to master eating right while not having a kitchen. Have a relaxing Sunday!!
9/10 275.4 Made the drive with ease. New week ahead. Let's go!
