Day/Weight/Comment
12/04: 67.2 - More fluid retention. Everything hurts from training yesterday because I worked really very hard (and threw a couple of people I normally struggle against, so winning!). Cake in the office, but with the number of calories I get extra from judo the cookie and small slice of cake was not a problem. I do love it when things work out well like that. Considering going to a run today, but might leave it for tomorrow and just do some gentle stretches out today as seriously, everything is screaming at me. I really wished I had foam rolled last night. Water was better yesterday, still probably lower than I would've liked, but better than it has been recently.
12/05: 67.5 - Well that's my one day not in deficit sorted for the round. I was hoping to go longer on that but I'll live. I deserve that scale rise. Lazy day yesterday, I think I'm coming down with a cold, however I need to go for a run today (as I didn't get out yesterday) so I'll have to push through and manage. Yesterday would have been fine were it not for all the food that was around, and for some reason, my unhelpful hunger come dinner time causing me to over eat there too. Did well for water during the day, and then didn't drink anything once I got home, not a great situation, but still better than previously. I have a water bottle on my desk at work now so I'm hopeful that'll keep me sipping all day.

12/06: 66.6 - My scale weight really is all over the place at the moment. If I wasn't getting NSV I'd be super bummed. Good day yesterday, and went for a run. Run wasn't great, my feet were really killing me, although my lungs were fine. Pup behaved himself on the run and I actually really enjoyed it. Just wish I could've gone longer without my feet hurting. Also, pretty sure I missed off a small amount at the end as I paused my fitbit by accident. More than somewhat frustrating. Drank much better yesterday, still need to make sure I drink enough in the evening, but was certainly better than the last few days.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Round 61
36y/ 173cm or 5'8"
OSW: 74kg May 2018 (163lbs)
Goal for end of 2018: below 70kg (68ish)
UGW: updated 67-63kg (148-139lbs) end of spring 2019
Round goals: treadmill running, yoga, body weight workouts

Tue 12/04 - 71.4kg
This is not great, up 1 kg from yesterday, but I suppose it is the weekend showing - little water, lots of salt and snacks. And last night also turned into a little bit of a binge once again.
Plan for today: food for today weighed and logged, salad and crackers for lunch, fruit snacks. Treadmill after work, healthy dinner with lots of veg and enough to have left over tomorrow. Early night so i get up for yoga in the morning.
Wed 12/05 - 70.8kg
This looks better. Stuck to my plan, went on the treadmill (35mins run and 20mins brisk walk with an incline), had my healthy dinner minus baked potatoes as I burned them, oops. But that meant I had some cals for snacking left over. And I got up to start today with some yoga despite a terribly hot night, healthy breakfast, lunch will be a guess as I have a meeting. But dinner is ready and waiting for me after the gym.

Thu 12/06 - 70.5kg
Right direction despite not sticking to the plan yesterday. The lunch meeting was very nice steak, the beef here is amazing, no chips. But then I was invited to a pub quiz, which meant I only managed a very short run plus my legs were sooo tired from Tuesday's run. At the quiz, food was provided and I had to estimate again and also couldn't say no to a couple of beers. Today, I was too tired to get up for yoga and also won't be going to the gym as I have a lot of work to do, but will do yoga tonight and some other stuff. My dinner is the left overs from Mon, which are healthy. And I also really want to make it to bed by 10pm so i can get up early tomorrow.

04/12 Missed a fair few posts from last round with travelling but have gone back and updated my weights at least. Goals for today are to get my steps in, do some yoga and hit my protein target.

05/12 Missed steps by about 200 but above average for the week so far, I had an early night so didn't have the meal I had planned so protein was well under but I think the rest of the week should make up for it, I have a lot lean meat and fish planned in. Goals for today are to take my vitamins and box the rest of the week's up and to stay in a bit of a deficit again.

06/12 Out for a work lunch yesterday, MFP vs Garmin has me at around a 200 calorie deficit yesterday so I will take that . Goals for today are for Protein Intake, Steps & Calorie Deficit. Must also try to get some yoga in this week.

Up again today-late night snacking compounded with tough workout. It could be the brownie or the effects of the workout. My goal was to sleep 7 hours and I have done that since starting the plan.

Today’s goal-eat what I planned-no brownie just because/... and complete my 7’s workout

My 22nd round!

OSW: 186 (March 2018)
UGW: 144-147

Pre challenge weight loss: -12 lbs.
Challenge weight loss R40 – R60: -30 lbs.

R61 SW: 144

With the help of these challenges, I’ve made it to a very comfortable weight for me. I’ve lost some weight many times in the past, but my biggest challenges have been to maintain it. My goal this round and going forward will be to maintain my weight in the low to mid 140’s.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/04 - 144 - I'm happy and a little surprised I didn't have a delayed bump from the weekend. Even though I only had a couple hundred extra calories each day, I've gotten so used to only eating around 1200 calories that unless it's a special event of some kind, I feel kind of guilty when I go over.
12/05 - 144 - Holding steady, which is where I like to be for now.
12/06 - 143 - It's good to see a little drop before the weekend.

Hello! I am newly returned to MFP and this is my first challenge.

I am at my lifetime high, and seem to have gained 3.5 lbs in 2 days of reasonable eating- which cannot be real. So my goal for this challenge is to finish below 210.

12/4 216 (mini- win: went out for a rare lunch with a friend; didn't over eat! Saved $$ that way too!)

OSW: 274 ~ CSW: 234.2 ~ GW: 230

12/03 ~ 235.2 - End R60 not too bad overall. Down 1.6 lbs.

12/04 ~ 234.2 - SOOOORE is the word of the day.

12/05 ~ 233.1 - Unexpectedly had time yesterday and spent HOURS deep cleaning house, moving furniture, reorganizing closets and decorating for the holidays. So surprisingly not as sore today, but feeling achy enough in my knees and lower back to make this a rest day for sure. Hoping some mild stretching this morning and eve gets the kinks out ~ and the weight loss keeps dropping! Have a great day everyone.

12/06 ~ 232.9 - My sore body bows in gratitude and prays the good fortune continues, lol 🙏

UGW: 165 or lower

End R58: 261.2 (-2.2)
End R59: 258.8 (-2.4)
End R60: 256.6 (-2.2)

My goal is to stick to 1500 calories or less per day. I would love to see the 240s by the end of December and I feel confident I can do it.

12/03 - 256.6 - End R60 - bumped up 2# from the day before with indulgent after dinner eating.
12/04 - 255.8
12/05 - 253.8 - This is what I like about daily weighing. I can see that one or two off-plan days don't have to turn in to ruination as long as I get back to plan asap. (I edited my weight after posting because of TMI

)

12/06 - 254.4 - Yesterday, I made fudge for my partner to take to his Christmas party at work. Do I have to even tell you who ate some? To taste test of course.

The scale will show me a better number tomorrow.

12/04 - Tuesday - 178.8 - Hmmm...well thats interesting. I guess the weekend just took a day to catch up with me. Yesterday was a good eating day, even did a little yoga to destress and it was a circus at work. Not sweating it though...I felt really good this morning. Sticking to habits today, canned soup for lunch and eggroll in a bowl for dinner and tomorrows lunches. When I closed yesterdays diary is said I would be 170.5 in 5 weeks time so that was encouraging seeing that I'm not far "off schedule" to short term goal #3!
12/05 - Wednesday - 178.8 - Ate Wendys without prelogging last night and now I know that a spicy chicken sandwich and fries is 1100 calories! Whoops. Ended the day around maintenance but it was not what I had planned and beat myself up over it for a moment - DH reminded me that it is a TREAT and I'm not eating fast food every day like I used to. I then gave myself some credit for the changes I've made and was able to enjoy the fact that we actually had a nice impromptu dinner date. This is a LIFELONG journey so getting used to a normal amount of eating out is needed - I cant beat myself up over living life! But I can learn from it!
12/06 - Thursday - 177.4 - Stressful evening last night. DH may be seeking other employment, unknown is terrifying but we will be okay. Anyway, work feels like a funeral today. Stuck to habits this morning and will be clinging to them thru this. Endo follow up this afternoon - and physical appointment labs came back looking good! My non-fasting glucose was 87 at 3PM!!! More labs to be done today and hoping to see improvement there also.

This is my eigth round. I am thinking this is the perfect way to move through December, with mini-goals, support and comraderie. I would love to be at 155 by Christmas but will be happy just being solidly in the 150s!

12/04 -- 160 -- A bump up...but a small one. I ate well and exercised well and posted a big loss last round, so I am not going to let this bother me. NSV -- Yesterday friends invited me to hike with them. I really enjoy walking in the woods, and the company....but in order to make sure I got my exercise in I snuck out for a fast 4 mile walk through the neighborhood before meeting them at 9. So glad that that was my inclination, rather than just writing it off for the day!

12/05 -- 158 -- Now that was a big drop! Fasted until dinner....but then I ate a big portion of salmon and veggies and made myself a LC cake. My energy levels were great all day too!

12/06 -- 161 -- Wow! That's crazy. I'm all over the place this round. Possibly I hallucinated yesterday's scale reading. I also was lightheaded in the morning, so had several cups of broth and then had Chinese for dinner, so maybe I overdid it on the sodium. I will drink lots of water today. We shall see! NSV--I'm not freaking out in the least over the scale this morning, nor is it ruining my day!

Round 61 - my 2nd
Female 43yo 5’4”

OSW: 225 (4/9/18)
CSW: 188.6
CGW: 186

End weight round 60: 189.4 (-2lb)

12/4 188.6
12/5 187.4 This may not stick. My calories were low yesterday and sometimes that makes the next day hard not to eat everything in sight. Will do my best and log everything! Did one hour of yoga yesterday too.
12/6 187.2 I’ll take it, had pizza for dinner and even though I stayed in my calorie range I didn’t know what to expect on the scale this morning
