JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 62

Starting Weight 175-178
Current Weight 150.4 end of round 60
Goal Weight 140


Back again! I am honestly just going to try and maintain this round. If I lose an ounce I will be thrilled! We have my DH work Christmas party, my work party, a cookie and candy making family party, and this one ends on a Sunday. Plus we have family coming in Christmas weekend and they are staying with us. The next couple of weeks are going to be rough! I was really hoping to hit the 30 pound mark by the end of the year. I'm close, but don't think it is realistic that I will lose another 2 or 3 pounds by then. I'm happy with what I have done though this year, so I will take it! Good luck everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/14 - 151.1 back up a little from yesterday. I was under calories, but I did have a peach turnover at 9:00 and dinner at 8:30. Both my daughters 10 and 16 had choir performances at 2 different schools last night. So my husband and I had to juggle seeing both of them and getting dinner done for the other kids. I didn't want to eat out, but I ended up eating really late when we got home. Hopefully I can bring it back down, but I have my DH work Christmas party tonight and then candy and cookie baking with the fam tomorrow. So we will see what happens. All I know is this is a once a year thing, so I will try and make smart decisions, but I am going to enjoy it and have fun! Seeing that 149.xxx would be really nice this round though!
12/15 - 150.4 DH Christmas party was a success. We walked away with $150 playing bingo and I ate well. Saved most of my calories for dinner and ate what I wanted without worry. Stayed away from the desserts and even had a beer. Had a great time and stayed on my path. I also got back into a pair of black really tight pants size 6 that I had not worn in many years. So another win. Family cookie and candy baking today. Oldest son is home from school and is helping out. So always good to have him home. 1 event down, 4 to go!
12/16 - 153.0 uuughhh. Totally deserved! Stayed away from the cookies and candy but the chips and dip got me. Who gains 3 pounds over night like that. Oh well it will be off in a couple of days. My family was driving me crazy and all bickering, so it was kind of stressful instead of fun. You know when you get to many women together with all their kids it gets crazy. My sister in law and I aren’t on great terms anyways, so I ate salt and lots of it. Lol, water and relaxing today. We will see what today brings.
12/17 - 154.1 Lots of water to flush all the sodium out and get back on track today. My husband and I are playing hookie today and going to a movie since the kids are all in school. Back to work tomorrow and hopefully by Friday I’ll be back down.
12/18 - 154.1 Did a little better yesterday I guess. Not enough water and still not great food choices, but went to see a movie and had a great time just hanging out with my DH. Back at work today. So salad for lunch and tons of water. We have family stopping through town for dinner tonight, so hopefully we can agree on a half way decent dinner out.

Round 62
12/14 145.5 Didn't post
12/15 146 Seen this coming, not nearly enough water lately and too much junk food, and fast food last night. Reminds me of why I can't eat like that all the time.
12/16 146 Feeling very thirsty and hungry. I increased my calories from 1200 to 1380 because it seemed I was always eating back my exercise calories and sometimes more. I'll probably change it back after the first of the year.
12/17 147 Honestly I wasn't going to weigh myself this morning. Then I thought, no I will weigh but keep it to myself. I need to hold myself accountable. We are all here to support and share our journey, and show one another that we all struggle from time to time and have off days. Yesterday I ate so bad. Had a big lunch because we went out to eat and I ate so many carbs- comfort food. Was going to let that be the only thing I ate and then I had cereal late last night- not just 1 bowl. "Trying" to make today a light day and going to try to stay out of the cereal tonight.
12/18 Unsure.. I weighed myself this morning but the scale was all over the place, so gonna wait and see what it says tomorrow. My "plan" is to eat mostly clean the rest of the week because with Christmas being next week and having 3 places to go.. well you all know. Hope everyone is having a great week 😊.

12/16 - 173.7 - not much movement today but happy with food

Explanation pinched from someone else's post. Seems to sum it up correctly.

The Woo button is used to signify disapproval of something that is probably not science based and more than likely bro science, fad, scam or downright unhealthy so if you see a lot of "Woo's on a post you probably want to disregard the advice.

I was hitting Woo when I first got on this thread to express excitement, but I stopped after someone said it wasn't a good thing. I wish they would add an icon to express excitement over really good achievements.

Glad it wasn't just me, there will be a couple of people wondering why I have been clicking it to their posts haha!

Hi everybody. I wasn't here for many challenges, I'm trying to come back. I gained so much weight, I afraid to weigh myself. But I'll start to see a dietitian on Monday (12/17), so I'll add my weight on 12/17. Until Monday, I'll add my comments for each day.

12/14
I overate today, I took so much sugar and carb. Every day I feel like I have to eat sugar/junk food, I really addicted. Not a good day, but at least I walked 8200 steps with my heavy backpack.

12/17 87.5 kg (192.9 lbs)
This is the first time I weighed myself after many weeks. I wished that I would be less than 88 kg, so I didn't feel so bad, I was ready for that. I went dietitian this morning and we talked a lot and made a diet plan. I feel motivated, we made a goal which is I'll be 79.9 kg (176.1 lbs) after 2 months. In this challenge, I want to end up with 86.5 kg (190.6 lbs). According to my body analysis (with Tanita) I already have water retention, so I think I can lose 1 kg.
12/18 88 kg (194 lbs)
OK. I wasn't expecting this. But this was the first time I drank 2.1 liters of water in a day, maybe it's about that. My dietitian said that I need to drink 3 liters of waters, but it's really hard for me. Whatever, yesterday was the first day of my new diet and it was good. I didn't feel hungry until night. I'm still highly motivated.
12/19 88 kg (194 lbs)
I'm still optimistic, this is before bathroom weight. I believe I'll see a better number tomorrow. Yesterday was good, I didn't eat exactly according to diet, I did little changes. However, I took enough calories.

Round 62 - my second round

Round 61 11st 12lb (-1 lb)

Day/Weight/Comment

This is going to be a difficult week

12/14 - 11st 12lb - no loss, but no gain - so I'm ok. Had a choice of a lot of food yesterday evening but just had
one small cake and biscuit, instead of several sweet offerings, including mince pies. Kept within calories.
12/15 - 11st 12.2lb - disappointed because, as always, I weighed everything yesterday and I kept within my calorie allowance and due to walking I also had a good calorie deficit so could easily have had more.
12/16 - 11st 12.8lb - another increase. I weighed and measured everything yesterday and my calorie intake was 1161 calories. I've not yet got to the party days!!!!
12/17 - 11st 12lb Phew - back to starting weight of this round. I had to guess the calories of my intake yesterday. Looks like I didn't do too bad a job, although my macros were not the best
12/18 - 11st 12.2lb - should not have had that biscuit! Had 1253 calories, only ate some of my exercise calories.
Woke up last night with toothache and a bad cold, and I've been sneezing all day.
I made an appointment with the dentist for tomorrow, but I think I will have to cancel meeting my friend due to my cold. I cannot believe that this has happened when I have 4 events in a row from tomorrow - the way I feel I won't be able to go to any of them. I don't want to spoil anyone's Christmas. I haven't been able to eat all my calories today - I had one good meal and one snack, but cannot face anything else.

12/19 - 11lb11.6lb Meeting friend at cafe as a pre birthday meet up. Cancelled meeting with friend as I am still sneezing. Also cancelled visit to dentist which I've temporarily rebooked for Friday, but able to cancel if still not well.

12/20 - My birthday and a Christmas party with my book group
12/21 - family have arranged a get together for Christmas and my birthday/meal out
12/22 - eve/eve party with friends - a day earlier than usual
12/23 - One day at home before going to my son's house for Christmas
