18th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’

Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. This is less than 1 lb. per round but as I realize that may not be possible as I get lower (1 lb per round would put me at 131).
Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 – 161.6 – This is actually better than I expected. Off to another round!
10/26 – 160.8 -
10/27 – 160.6 – Maybe I will make it to my goal this round. Two days now of counting all calories and also watching that I get enough protein. Both help with evening snacking. I didn’t realize how slack I was on the counting till I started looking back. I had never paid attention to the protein because I am a real meat lover but because I have to watch my fat (gall bladder issues) sometimes it’s too low.
10/28 - 161.4 – Had a good day calorie and exercise wise so guessing this is just a wiggle on the way down.
10/29 - 160.8
10/30 - 160.8 Starting in next week I’m substitute teaching a class for people learning English. Going in today to pick up the binder. I used to teach this class before I retired. There are no prepared materials exactly just some guidelines. Determined not to stress myself out by leaving prep until the last minute. I have found a unit that I think will work, so off to a pretty good start. Procrastination and the resulting stress are the worst for derailing losing weight.
10/31 – 160.8 – Pretty good day yesterday, didn’t log all my food but did make a fairly low cal supper and then got busy in the evening so no snacking.
11/01 - 161.8 – Out for supper last night, didn’t seem like a very high calorie meal but maybe had lots of salt. Still hoping to get under 160.

Day/Weight/Comment:
10/25 - 179.2 ….. I will have to make my starting weight my last weigh-in though I'm sure it is up from the travel. I can feel the horrible bloat and the sickness in my stomach. Too many carbs.
10/26 – 181.2….. Well. There it is. Yikes!!!! Glad to be home and back to routine. I have my work cut out for me, but I got this.
10/27 – 178.4….. Whoosh! Thanks Tish for that triple threat drink recipe. I knew I’d have to pull out all the stops. Wow! Nearly 3 pounds lost overnight!
10/28 - 177.0 ….. Whoosh again! Another 1.4 pounds of bloat down after drinking more of the triple threat debloating water yesterday. It’s still not completely gone so I will drink more (and make more) today. I’m down 4.2 pounds in 2 days so it’s helping a lot. I feel SO much BETTER, but I still have a bit of the round pregnant look. It used to look good on me, I would glow with that baby inside. Now, however, no baby and a little ridiculous looking for a 58 year old. So away it is going with the parsley lemon & cucumber water
10/29 - 177.0 ….. Okay, I guess I’m down to the actual travel fat gain and not just water bloat. I continued to sip on the triple threat water today so I wouldn’t waste it in the fridge, however, now the real work starts. A friend is visiting today, so not a lot of opportunity for movement, but I’ve been sticking to my food plan pretty good. Have a great week everyone!
10/30 - 177.2 ….. A little fluctuation. I will be at the hair dresser’s all afternoon doing my unique blend of foil/color. I have started to keep some of the gray in with the dark and light blondes for a more natural and age appropriate look. It’s very subtle, but it’s my way of accepting myself and learning to love myself including all my beautiful maturity! It will take a while for it to actually be all the way down to the ends, but it has been progressing and looking pretty good. I hope everyone has a blessed day. Enjoy and be safe!
10/31 - 177.2 ….. Better than a gain for sure! Excellent day yesterday. Stayed with plan & drank a good amount of water. I also walked 2 miles inside the school due to rain storms here. Thunder and lightening in cold wintery weather was very strange here. I felt very strong in mind and body.
11/01 - 177.6 ….. So, a cupcake and 5 fun-sized candy bars walk into a bar one day…….. Oh my, no joke afterall, but it was fun and delicious. I must learn how to participate in things in a different and better way! Tonight is my usual Thursday night potluck and pool hall outing. More food. Last week I ate according to plan an hour before I left so I would not over-indulge. I’ll try that again today although new recipes and offerings sometimes intrigue me. I am going to stay positive and consider these normal life events and social engagements as an opportunity to practice my lifestyle and weight loss journey. Today the glass will be half full.

10/25 191 -met my goal a day late! Did well with not over eating. QUESTION: how many hours before sleep do you all stop eating?
10/26 191
10/27 190.5 - not bad for the first trunk or treat night! Since I cut down on a lot of sugar recently, after eating a good amount of it last night I felt really anxious for some reason! All the more reason to quit sugar.. it really messes with me
10/28 191
10/29 192 at first I was wondering what the problem was here... why I’m gaining even though staying within calorie goal. Then I remembered... not all calories are created equal! This is the first weekend in months that we’ve eaten out most meals. I usually cook everything at home. Back to home cooked meals! No exceptions!!
10/30 191 I really don’t think I’m making it to my goal this time..
10/31 190.5 update: I still haven’t touched my child’s candy from the trunk or treat since that day! So turned off by the effects of it. Here’s to hoping this continues for tonight lol
11/01 190.5 I only had a few small pieces of candy. I’ll call it a success

Back for Round 57 (my 2nd round). Thanks again @Grandmajackie! I owe my -4 lbs to you!!
Keeping the same "Rules" of my game plan...log EVERYTHING!, no eating 7p-7a, no eating while packing lunches...exercise everyday (no matter what!) and try to breathe!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 - Day 1 = 147.2 (corrected from 148 got on the scale at noon after gym!) - And we're off! Good luck everyone. You can do it!
10/26 - Day 2 = 146.6 Having 2 girlfriends over after work. A little scared but have promised myself to stick to the "Rules" and only 1 glass (4oz) of wine OR NONE (not likely). We are ordering sushi for dinner so should be fine from the food aspect. Just that darn wine and hot tub. Wish me luck! Maybe they'll cancel on me! haha, no no. Sat/Sun plan --- I'm going to hit the gym both Sat and Sun (I usually just walk the dog/chase the 'littles' around)! Everyone stay strong this weekend and enjoy your adventures ahead...remember...you got this, eyes on the prize!!
--> Friday nite turned out to be 3 glasses of wine and one friend! ha.. also had 3 servings of lime chips but still came in fine for the day, that goodness for the gym at work!!
10/27 - Day 3 - Today I didn't make it to the gym so kept my eating in check. Fun Trunk or Treat at my friends farm. Rainy & cold but kids don't care! 1 mini heath bar (my fav) which my son had to trade for...so love that guy!
10/28 - Day 4 - Surprise invite to dinner out which I rarely do since I am usually sick after. This was no exception but the food (Mexican) tasted good: 1 sm. grilled shrimp taco (corn tortilla) and side of rice/beans. Hit the gym so cals in check, and "Rules" adhered to! Wooo!
10/29 - Day 5..ugh stomach is not good. NTS: Next time just have water, who cares what your inlaws think! I always pay for it when I eat out except at Sushi restaurants (hard to get cross contam. from wheat there!). Hopefully will feel 100% tomorrow. Hitting the gym & scale at lunch. I'm not sure what to expect! EEEK! 148.8 : ( Not thrilled but I think I know why I am up 2 lbs... still played it safe and added 40 min at nite on the elip so 80 min today!
10/30 - Day 6 = 148.8 (still) but I will not be discouraged. Stomach is still on the mend. I really liked the 40 min extra elip time last nite (love my Anytime Gym!), might try and squeeze it in again tonite. Hopefully by the end of the week, I'll see a loss. Hope everyone is doing good!! Tomorrow is Trick-or-Treat! BOOOooooooo!
10/31 - Day 7 = ? Made it thru trick-or-treat virtually unscathed! I hope the 4 mini heaths I had didn't totally wreck me. I stuck to the rules except no gym, altho lots of walking at t-o-t. Wish me luck tomorrow on the scale!
11/01 - Day 8 = 148.6. Can't believe there are only 3 days left in this leg. These 10 days have flown. Upping my water to see if that helps drop me back to my Day 1 wt. Reading back I did have 4 'not so great' days out of the 7!!

End of round 55: 194.6
End of round 56: 192.6 (-2.0 lbs)
Day/weight/comment
10/25: 192.6 -- It's a little bit of a rainy day here today. I am a bit swamped at work, but I hope to make it out to the gym at lunch. Actually change that. I WILL make it to the gym at lunch.
10/26: 194.6 -- such a roller coaster! I thought I did well yesterday. I did have a snack attack last night and ate some chocolate chips out of the bag. I know realistically that is NOT why the scale is up 2 lbs... but I can't help but feel remorse at that decision. Work is really busy, I'm a little stressed about it. I was working from home late last night, and it seemed like a good idea. I did make it to the gym yesterday and had a fabulous 40 min treadmill workout followed by a long stretching session. Today it's Friday, I'm about to leave work, and I plan to stop on my way home and go for a run in the rain. I could go to the gym and exercise indoors, but I am craving fresh air. Besides I live on the Oregon coast where it is ALWAYS raining so if I stay inside to exercise in the winter, well, I'll always be inside which is not my thing.
10/27: 194.8 -- I'm wondering if that 192 something was just a random fluke. Anyway, I'm happy to report that I DID get that run in on Friday, rain and all. It was actually really nice. I had a ton of energy and felt like I was flying! I'm sure I wasn't really as fast as I felt, but it was nice to run and feel good doing it.
10/28: 196.2 -- It is TTOM for me and I am retaining water, I have realized. I'm hoping things go back to normal soon. The important thing is to be consistent with my logging, water, and exercise, and hang on for the ride. Yesterday I hauled my horse down to a friend's arena for a barn Halloween party. It actually was quite a good workout as we played all kinds of games and I rode for a couple of hours. The perfect thing for an otherwise rainy afternoon.
10/29: 196.8 -- OK. Now I'm getting pissed. I really ate pretty well yesterday. I made good choices and a delicious and super healthy dinner. I did not get any formal exercise yesterday, but I had 13k steps just around our farm. It was a surprise sunny day and the kids and I played outside, went on a hike, and did crafts with beautiful fall leaves. Then in the late afternoon the whole family went salmon fishing at a nearby river. We didn't catch any or even get any bites, but it was the first time we've all gone fishing together and it was fun teaching my 6 year old son how to cast. We cast out into the river for an hour or so and then decided the fish weren't biting, so we went mushroom hunting in the nearby forest instead. I stayed in the car with our young daughter who had enough, but my son and husband came back with chantrelles which are my favorite. I then made a yummy shepherd's pie with sweet potato mashed potatoes on top and the chantrelles were the starring ingredient! It was so delicious. Now I'm back at work and back into the routine. I have my gym stuff with me and plan to get a butt kicking workout in at the gym during lunch.
10/30: 194.6 -- coming back down. Today is busy and I won't manage a workout, but yesterday I ended up going for a 45 minute run outside. It was awesome and I felt great. Overall I have been feeling good lately. Less tired, more energy, enjoying my workouts. I keep overeating a bit and that's why the scale isn't budging much since I started these challenges, but I'm keeping at it because I like the daily weigh ins.
10/31: 194 -- yesterday was busy as expected, my son had soccer practice and I was in meetings all day at work. One of those nights where I'm cleaning the horse barn at 9 pm in the dark after the kids go to bed... so no other exercise was possible. Today is Halloween! With two little kids I'll surely be busy, but should get my steps in.
11/01:194.2 -- weight seems to have stabilized although I'm still disappointed it's up since starting the challenge. Yesterday I definitely enjoyed some Halloween candy! But that is all behind me. I've got to exercise every day over the next 3 days to meet my exercise goal. I'm headed to the gym at lunch and plan to do a combined cardio and strength workout of some sort.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25: 195.7 (17,646 steps). Almost 13k steps at the time of writing this. Will go on a run after dinner. Did an amazing upper body workout. Day 5 of 30 days of yoga. Food isn’t so great today, though i will be under if I count my exercise calories.
10/26: 194.7! (9,455) Feels nice, aside from my right pec and glute being sore. Will have to take an epsom salt bath sometime today. I also had a hell of a time falling asleep. My upper spine really hurt. Hoping to make better food choices today and continue to see a downward trend. I will add steps the next day.
10/27 194.3! Today is homework and studying for my kinesiology midterm on Monday. Will try to get my steps in, but it might be hard.
10/28 194.3. Nice. Another study/homework day, but I’m determined to get all of my steps in today.
10/29 194.3. Midterms. Got 83%.
10/30 194.3. Tried the witches’ brew frappuccino, not strong enough of a flavour, but still nice. I also found the only store in my town that sells passion tango tea (the superstore in the health food aisle) so now I can drink it! I have another midterm on the 7th, and I’m getting stressed lol.
10/31 194.3.Happy Halloween! At least I can say I’ve lost 1.6lbs this challenge lol. Will try to do a lower body workout and get back on track with the 30 days of yoga (Day 6)
11/01 192.8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Halloween went great, only ate two pieces (one chocolate, one cherry peel and pull!) Didn’t do either of the workouts I said I would do, but that’s okay. I did tabata this morning, and my sister has decided to sabotage me by baking SIX DOZEN chocolate chip cookies. I will try to eat those in moderation, but cookies are my weakness.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 - 145. Excited to be back for another challenge! I've been busy working, eating and then gaining back some weight for the past few rounds. Getting back on track now. I have continued to lift weights and meet step goals, so not all has been lost during the missed rounds. I started with 15 pounds on all of my lifts and a few of them have progressed to over 100 pounds now. It's kind of fun to see those bigger plates on the bar.
10/26 - 144. Nearly 15,000 steps yesterday, plus weight lifting and stayed a touch under my calorie goal. I swear I would have grazed my way around the house last night and doubled my calorie consumption if it wasn't for being back in this challenge. Thank you everyone for being here!
10/27 - 143. Step and calorie goals achieved yesterday. I took measurements this morning and was surprised to see that although I happened to be the exact same weight as I was last time I measured in September, every measurement (except my calves) was smaller. I know this has happened to others, but figured it was a phenomenon reserved for people who exercise a lot more intensely than I do. Seeing those smaller measurements this morning made me so happy!
10/28 - 144. I really thought that I posted this yesterday, I must have forgotten to click "post reply." Restaurant dinner on Saturday night. Ate about half of the portion, but likely still high on calories. Got home from the event at 11 pm and got that exercise in.
10/29 - 143. Lazy day at home, except for the normal weekend errands. Nice to have a weekend with only few activities. Step and calorie goals met. I can't figure out why my fitbit gave me 1000+ activity calories yesterday. It seems way too high for a day where all my activity came from housework and errands.
10/30 - 143, I think. My husband slept in this morning, so I dressed and weighed in the dark. I still hopped on the scale, but it was hard to read! Weight lifting yesterday, along with a short unplanned jog. I went on a walk during one of my son's activities. About halfway through, I realized I wasn't going to make it back to him before his class was over. I couldn't walk any faster and I was looping around a lake (turning back wouldn't have taken any less time), so I jogged about 10 minutes of what was intended to be a 45 minute walk and made back to the starting point even a little early. I ended up snacking in a very major way late last night, so it was an unimpressive end to an otherwise disciplined day.
10/31 - 144. Not surprising given the late night snacking 2 nights ago. Happy Halloween!
11/01 - 143. Back to this number. Right where I was 50 days ago, but also better than yesterday.

My goals are to really work and try to loose another 10-15 pounds by my 29th birthday in December
🕷10/25🕸 149.8- yesterday I worked out but ate a bit too much, late night snacking got to me..I still managed under my calories but it does explain the "maintenance" I drank 1 liter of water, so not great on the water front. I have been extra hungry for the past two weeks but I finally feel normal again now that I am mid week into my TOM. I also feel good today, totally more energized then I have been the past two weeks (like I was before my cold started... gosh colds last a long time) here is to a good day! 🥂 i am also happy to report i took my measurments this morning and I am half an inch down around my waist, 1 inch down around my hips and 1 and a half inches down around my thighs...what a good start to my day
⚰10/26🔮 149.8 pfft. Ate under calories, exercised and drank 1.6 liters of water. Thank gosh I took my inches to prove my weight loss, otherwise this number would have been slightly discouraging since it is the 9th day at 149.x but I'm not letting it get to me. This weekend I will be away so I don't know how often I will be on and I for sure won't have access to a scale, there will be a lot of walking involved but I plan to stay mindful of my eating and hopefully won't see a crazy increase on Monday. Wish me luck 😉
🎃10/27🎭 -away no scale-
🕸10/28🕷 - away no scale-
🔮10/29⚰ 149.6 finally caught up on everyones posts. This weekend was so much fun and I am so happy that this was what I saw on the scale this morning!! Food choices were so difficult given the fact we were on a bus, given food parcels containing sweets and high carb foods. The bus was all ladies with the exception of 4 men out of 40 odd people (not including the two bus drivers) and we were all Italians..which means biscotti and such. I did track all my food and ate everything sparingly. When we did arrive at our destinations, the food options were food courts, which made salads and fruits rare to come by. I did walk a lot and portion out the food. I was lucky that the B&B we stayed at provided fruit for breakfast, so I took a couple extra for the road. I'm so tired today and I am feeling it in my legs, so I might do some light work outs but I am not fully commiting to anything. Planning to get back to my %100 by tomorrow.
🎭10/30🎃 150.6 of course I was amazing all weekend and the day I am home it became a binge fest. I haven't had a cheat meal since Canadian thanksgiving and I haven't had a binge day since I think August so although it does suck and I feel gross I'm also ok with it. I'm back at it today and am just going to keep moving forward and down ward. Also joined a volleyball league that will be starting sometime in November...so excited and nervous
🎃10/31 🕷🕸🔮⚰🎭🎃Happy Halloween 🎃🎭⚰🔮🕸🕷 149.6 and back down again. Exercised for 54 min HITT and went for a 40 min bike ride. It was so nice yesterday. I am proud of my month. Between uping my exercising, being sick and thanksgiving (canadian) I really feel like I did very well. Tonight I am not going to worry about "watching" my eating. I know I teqnically had a binge day Monday and that was teqnically supposed to be saved for today but I am not concerned. I will not overkill it and I will be exercising but its a long tradition to eat junk food and watch horror movies and it tends to be my favorite day of the year.. so I am going to enjoy it. After all there is always tomorrow and I know the minute NOV 1st hits I will be back to normal by watching what i am eating and i will uping my exercise once again. I hope everyone has a great day/night and I hope it's full of spooky fun!!
🍂11/01🍃 149.6 didnt do as bad as I thought with the snacking. Ate 5 pieces of mini candy and was practically walking around all night..the kids came in groups, absolutley nuts!! Didn't exercise yesterday so this weeks exercise has been the least amount I have done since restarting my journey in July. Not worried though, I know I will get back to it tonight and have a steady increase.

Round 57: My 24th round!!
House guests this whole round & wedding festivities.
Goal: remain in the 150’s! & stop eating out!
10/25 159.6
10/26 159.8
10/27 160.4 Doing the best I can. All will be fine in the long run.
10/28 150.2 (typed wrong 160.2)
10/29 157.6Back to my regular way of eating and exercising was rewarded with a drop in water weight. I am vastly relieved. It is clear to me that I can’t get too busy. And I can’t eat out. And house guest & weddings are tricky!
I also noticed that I actually did not feel good when I was over eating and eating out. So rather than feeling like I can’t eat out anything I don’t want to yet because it doesn’t make me feel good.
Lesson learned:
never stop tracking/posting (when I really was so embarrassed to)!
10/30 156.8BMI=23.5 Tummy felt thinner overnight - a nice surprise! I’m walking a ton.
🎃10/31 157.8 Very pleased things are going better.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 -78.6kg, I think I’m noticing a pattern here. I kind of stagnate or fluctuate down and up for a few days, and then drop suddenly and harshly. I think I like it! It sucks seeing the scales go up and up but rewarding when it finally drops to where it really should be, and I guess that’s why we track every day, to see these patterns
10/26 - 79.0kg, I ate over my calories by a lot yesterday. I regret it but it’s done! And not only did the scales go up, but I feel awful this morning. Lesson learned!
10/27 - 79.0kg, stayed under cals yesterday and drank loads of water!
10/28 - 78.7kg, happy to see this! 1200cals, plenty of water, happy days
10/29 - 78.5kg, very happy the scales continue to go down. It’s just good to know all of this is paying off and even if I don’t see immediate results physically, I can see them on the scales. I really do need to start exercising regularly though.
10/30 - 78kg, and the scales just keep going down! So pleased and so motivated!!
10/31 - 78kg, this was expected after the large drop I had yesterday!
11/01 - 77.5kg, weighed after going to the bathroom which doesn’t normally happen, so probably on the lower end of a fluctuation but super pleased regardless
11/02 - 77.5kg, fine with this considering the drop from a couple of days ago! I didn’t drink enough water yesterday and ate out for dinner but tried to count as best I could and I think I was still under for the day

10/30 Tuesday- 195.6 Fall break sent me into a spiral of bad decisions and I have been off the wagon for almost a month now. I gained 3.6lbs and I feel awful and bloated and need to get back on track. I really liked the accountability I had to myself when I participated in my first two rounds so I am back and ready to jump in. No waiting to round 58!
10/31 Halloween I forgot to weigh this morning. It is a habit that I need to get back into along with checking my blood pressure. I stayed within calories yesterday but low on the water (another habit that needs improvement). My goal today is to stay withing my calorie range, drink 80oz and not binge on candy. I think I will walk the kids and let my hubby sit home and hand out candy. Although, I may have to fight him for that.
11/1 Thursday- 194.1. Must be water weight. I handed out the candy last night and only ate a couple of kit kats, so I will call that a win. So far, so good today. Plan on going to the gym for the first time in a month tonight during my daughter's ballet class. It feels good getting back into the swing of things

Day/Weight/Comment
10/25 149 Back here again, but with new motivation. I found an old tablet yesterday and was looking through old photos of myself, and got inspired to lower my goal weight to 134.5. Weight loss is first and mostly about psychology, and it really helped to see myself slimmer, smiling, looking like I felt great. Yesterday I had a really good day, lowered my calories back to 1200 and started wearing my fitbit again. Refocusing on my macros, since higher protein works best for me (carbs 25%, fat 45%, protein 30%) and seeking to hit that protein goal of 90g daily. These past 5 rounds I have indulged plenty, tasted all the foods I was desiring, and have come back to the realization that I feel better when I eat more simply. Skipping breakfast unless I am hungry, lots of salads, and grilled lean protein. Occasional treats, not daily. Looking forward to this round more than I have in a while! Have a great day everyone!
10/26 148.4 Dedicated to staying out of the 150's this round as I stay on course. Candy is in the house but I am safe! Tomorrow night we are going to a big Halloween party, so I will save some calories to snack there, but stay away from sweets. I have had enough sweets over the past several rounds to be ready to stay away.
10/27 149 Did not walk yesterday due to escorting mom to dr. and son to DMV (yay! he got his permit!) so lots and lots of sit and wait time. Ate over calories quite a bit last night and not the best choices in spite of my oh so motivated talk to myself. Today is a new day, and I am up and at em early ready for it to be outstanding! Every moment is an opportunity to begin again, have a great Saturday everyone!
10/28 149.2 Parsley cucumber lemon water is on the menu today to get rid of my Mexican food bloat from last night, but it was worth it! Hubby and I were inmates in black and white stripes, so it was comfy and the party last night was tolerable. He is leaving tomorrow until Saturday out of town, so this coming week will be a challenge. In the past when he's gone I have used it as an excuse to overeat, but not anymore! This time I will use his time away to stay focused on ME, to get my walks in, to eat how I know fuels my body best, and to spend some time introspectively and GROW. The past does not equal the future!
10/29 WEIGH IN DAY 148.4 Back here again, but this is really good!!! I am so happy not to be bouncing up as high as 150! I'm up extra early to take my honey to the airport, going to walk the hill when I get back and I will log my day. Continuing to drink the cucumber/parsley/lemon infusion, love the taste!
10/30 147.4 I dabbled here one time last week, good to see it again! Went over calories yesterday but stayed in deficit due to a lot of walking. I try not to pay attention to the fitbit adjustment, it's deceived me into thinking I can eat more than I really should. Does not seem right to eat more just because I had more steps around the house etc. I just counted out the weeks until the end of the year and we have 9 weeks until 2019! My goal is to get below 140 by then!
10/31 147 First time hitting this in a long time! I found an old weight watchers weight log card from 2003 and I distinctly remember going there to lose because I had reached a high weight of 145 and was more comfortable at my usual 135. This gave me added motivation to stay on course and continue towards my new goal of 134.5. 140 used to be my stop point, I am not sure how it crept higher and higher over the past 15 years. Ate well yesterday, since husband is away all the kids infiltrated the house, I had 4 of mine plus a couple extra in the kitchen...it was nice :-)
11/1 148.6 Ate too much bread last night, also ice cream and cookies. Knew I was doing it but did it anyway.

10/25 - steps 11,000 trying to get 10,000+, my exercise is improving a lot. Plus the weight is starting to come off.
10/26 - 3rd day of exercising , new exercises that I could not do from my surgery, 7 months ago feels so good.
10/27- Rest day/ shopping / Family Birthday
10/28 - I had a rough day, lots of swelling around my eye, I think it is caused because I'm not use to sleeping on that side, it is near where I had surgery. If it is like that tomorrow I will get it checked by our family doctor.
10/29 -Worked on getting my steps back up 10,000+ day 1-complete.
10/30- Great day, still have a lot of swelling but I managed to do the treadmill. Still eating healthy.
10/31-Tried hard to get my steps in, because it was a busy day. But I did it.

Thanks for the recipe. I'll have to find the first ingredient which I am assuming will be on Amazon. Everything else I already have. Yummy!2 -

No more upwards fluctuations due to bad eating. I want a steady decline this time. I can't just dance around this number. I did that ten pounds ago and I hated it.
Day/Weight/Comment
10/25- 184.7- Glad it didn't go up honestly. I did maintenance calories yesterday.
10/26-184.8- Last exam today. Going to be able to focus on weight-loss better these next two weeks. Kinda excited.
10/27- 184.7
10/28- No weigh in.
10/29- 183.7- Let's keep this going. Have been here before. I want to see 182.something. Happy about this though. But I just definitely need to make myself keep going.
10/30- 184.0- I did well yesterday. The thing is I didn't have time this morning and ate breakfast before remembering to weigh myself so this isn't necessarily accurate. Will eat well tonight too so that I get results tomorrow. Really on my grind this time. Going to get to 180 soon. Determined.
10/31- 183.0- Happy Halloween everyone! First time seeing this number. Really want to see 182.something. Maybe tomorrow? I'm going to eat low sodium and nothing heavy so I don't randomly pack on water weight.
11/1- 183.0- had a bit of candy today lol. hopefully it doesn't affect anything tomorrow?

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 - 244.5lb - well that was quick 😅 in fairness I had been holding water weight for most of last week and despite creating ample caloric deficit wasn’t seeing the scales budge so this loss is overdue. It surely helped that yesterday I managed over my 10,000 step goal, and was really on point with my diet. Today I will be trying to watch the sodium in what I’m eating,my body seems really susceptible to the “whoosh” effect and so I’m trying to find a way to help with the water retention.
10/31 - 245lb - I’ll take that, I normally lose a few lbs one day, gain a bit of water back, hold onto it for a few days and then will drop another few pounds. I was logging yesterday and creating a deficit so just having complete faith in science. Feeling motivated for today and in control, tonight is leftovers from last night so I know exactly how many calories. Going to try and do some decent activity today as yesterday was pretty relaxed.
11/01 - 244.2 - that’s a new low (only slightly) but it’s fine by me 😅 had a low calorie day yesterday with a decent amount of steps. Today will again be watching my sodium and aiming to stay within my calorie goals.
11/02 - 244.5 - up slightly on the scales this morning however my body fat is still showing decreased and water percentage is up so it’s clear I’m retaining a bit of water which doesn’t surprise me as I was not very good on the sodium front yesterday 😬. Today is a low cal day so hoping to see that drop off for tomorrow’s weigh in, going for a walk with my sister this morning so hoping to smash those steps and hopefully end on a good note tomorrow 💪🏻

31/10: 166.3: Goals ✅ My scale informed me that I was 'overfat' this morning. I certainly feel bloated. Self-sabotage! Under goal, but choices were diabolical. Out with friends for coffee am, then out again in the evening. Too much temptation. Today will be better. Intriguingly, my bone weight has gone up from 6.8 lbs to 7 lbs. That's weird.

03/11: xxxxx: Goals
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!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
