36yo/, 173cm / German living in London, UK, currently in Lusaka, Zambia
2019 SW: 72.8kg (oops)
GW: 62-67kg depending on how it feels

01/02 72.8kg 1570
After long haul flights and plane/airport food yesterday. Back to work, the gym and logging everything that passes my lips today.
01/03 72.3 (-0.5) 1544
Good day yesterday, ate what I logged, went to the gym and didn't give in to cravings in the evening. I've decided not no eat back my exercise cals, so I'm logging them as just 1 cal.
Is anyone doing Yoga with Adriene's Dedicate? I meant to start today with day 1 as the video isn't available until I leave the house in the morning, but then found it was too long for the time I had available, so did an old one instead.
01/04 71.9 (-0.4) 1557
I like this trend, hopefully it'll continue through this round back to below 70k. Yesterday went ok, I mostly stuck to my pre-logged food. I did have one piece of sweet I had brought back for my colleagues (it was a 130cals!), but changed my dinner from pasta to salad. I also ate the last of a few cereal bars I had from my trip, which were also high calorie. In the evening, I decided not to go shopping or to the gym or communicate with various people, but take time for myself and start with Dedicate Day 1. It was great! This morning, I did Day 2 and will also go to the gym tonight. I'll also do a healthy food shop. I remembered today that I had started eating bigger portions to curb the snacking, I'll get back to that from this evening. And I also looked at my macros and again noticed I need to up my protein, which I seem to always struggle with.
01/05 71.0kg (-0.9) wild guess: 2400??
I think this is all water weight, which i'm shedding with help of Tish's parsley/cucumber water. I can even see how my feet are no longer swollen.
Yesterday was good, stuck to my eating plan, went shopping, went to the gym. I spent the evening on the sofa and really wanted wine and all the snacks, but stuck to tea and my prelogged snacks. Today, started with yoga, which was sweatier than expected, had a filling and late breakfast and now have to do some work. I plan to either go for a walk or to the gym for a walk on the treadmill later.

01/06 71.0kg
My plan didn't work out as I helped a friend, who's been having a *kitten* time, and that help came in form of going for food and drinks. I was relatively mindful, but even a few beers meant I went way over cals. I didn't walk or run, partly also due to the rain and also didn't do much of my work. Today was supposed to be my more "relaxed eating" day as i'm meeting another friend. But now i'm about to rush to the gym, squeeze in some work and then meet my friend, which I hope won't turn into an all afternoon/evening thing as I also need some time to phone family and wanted to relax a bit... not quite the Sunday I had in mind, but i'm not going to "reward" myself for the stress by eating! Gotta stay strong.

This will be the first round that I actually stick to. Tried one other round only to fall off the wagon on day 3. This time will be different though. It makes it easier that I am starting late so only have 6 days. That is less than a week, and I can do anything for that amount of time.

SW - 73.9kg
GW for this round - 72.9kg
UGW - 50kg

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 - 73.9kg This is my starting weight and the heaviest I have ever been without being pregnant! Today is the day this stops. Hoping to see a 1 kg drop by the end of this session. I know I can do this, I just have to get my head in the right place and keep in mind why I want to lose this weight.

R64 SW 181.8 EW:

Day/Weight/Comment

01/03 181.8 Going in the wrong direction altogether and almost 5 pounds up from two weeks ago. Not a happy camper at all!!! Ate my full day’s quota of calories by 1 p.m. yesterday. On the upside, went for an early morning walk. It’s been a very long time since I’ve done any exercise at all. Planning another walk at 6:30 this morning.

01/04 180.6 Did 40 minute walk on the treadmill at 7 a.m. I find that I am so unfit that even just walking is tough. Anyway, I shall continue as far as I can and try to remain focused on my exercise commitments this month. Eating is still a train wreck. Toast and jam and banana with diet coke for breakfast. At least I had a bottle of water before assaulting my system with garbage.

01/05 180.2 Very slow descent!!!

01/06 178.8 YAY!!! Exercise is finally starting to show up on the scale. Can’t attribute it to eating because that has been terrible.

01/03 - 138.2 - 1347 - 2078
Back on track, finally, with food & exercise. I'm interested to see how long it takes to re-lose what I gained the past 40 days.

01/04 - 138.2 - 1540 - 2032
Average coming down, despite a piece of cranberry cobbler last night. Had to use those cranberries! On the plus side, I had my first of three sessions with a personal trainer yesterday and have a plan for the next month until I see her again, and I've been walking/biking every day and doing weights 3 times/week. We're supposed to get up to 48 this afternoon, hopefully with no rain, so I'm hoping to walk outdoors.

01/05 - 139 - 1686 - 1970
Ah, the mysteries of calories, exercise, averages, and weight. I walked and hour+ yesterday, happily outdoors as it was 58F! No idea why I bounced back up. I did bake some whole wheat applesauce carrot honey muffins last night, and I ate 1, but that was only 130. I have been slacking on veggies, so that may be part of it. Onward! Have a great weekend, all!

01/06 - 139.2 - 1612 - 1931
We had another beautiful day yesterday and I walked along the river for an hour. Temps are headed down, though, so I'll be back indoors - I'm a cold-weather weenie. This week I'm adding a stretch & flex and a yoga class to my routine.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/3 183 Thanks to advice in the book Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done I am cutting my goal in half to a pound and a half per round.. I just dropped 3 lbs in the past week though and am a little nervous that 1.5 may be difficult in the next 10 days but I’m willing to give it a shot.
1/4 183, holding strong after a crazy day yesterday. Ate at Dairy Queen of all places and the stuck to calorie goal for remainder of day
1/5 183, still the same. Going to a party tonight so I’m going to try to be extra mindful of calories (in and out) today.
1/6 181.7, There’s my goal. Now to maintain to the end.

Day/Weight/Comment

1/03 - 175.8 - Still a bit of fluid weight. 174.4 my R62 start weight flashed briefly before settling on this. I can wait.?
1/04 -177.6 - Felt miserable all day yesterday. This weird cold/allergy like illness again. Exercised, ate dinner and went to bed later than usual.
1/05 - 177.2 - Started the day feeling lousy and not hungry and on the right side of carbs and calories. Took some cold medicine and ended the day +400 on the wrong side of carbs and calories.

1/06 - 178.2 - My goodness, no surprise though. I opened one of the last bags of those delicious porcini rosemary kettle chips. Ate the heck out of them just before going to bed. I'm feeling much better this morning, so the comfort eating should cease. Although, it's a potentially high carb day, since I'm going to visit my littles. Going to do all that I can to circumvent that type of eating.

1/3 - 205.7, Happy that I did not eat a lot, but did not track and overall choices not great. Need to get on the darn treadmill and make sure testing blood glucose consistently. Focusing on tomorrow's goals.
1/4 - 204.2, Fairly happy. Relatively good eating and a blood glucose of 96 right before bed which was fantastic. A key to success in managing my type II is staying off the carbs after 3PM. Still need to get on the treadmill and track food intake.
1/5 - 202.8, Pretty good day. Ate a light and healthy breakfast and lunch. Went out for dinner and ate so-so, but did not over eat. Big win was 2.7 miles on the treadmill in 30 minutes. Going to try to track food tomorrow. Want to start posting calories and steps for more accountability.
