That’s a better direction! Yesterday my big win was pushing myself to get those steps in. I have a desk job and man 10,000 can be hard to hit. But I went for a walk at lunch and then when I was short steps I braved the gym by myself and went for a run.

Newbie Alert!!
First time here at this challenge!!
Thanks for having me!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 190 - I’m getting back into the swings of things again by cutting out sugar & processed junk.
01/14 188 - I’m starting the day out right with some black coffee & I'm looking forward to the gym this afternoon.
01/15 185 - This week & this challenge are starting out well. I’m very pleased! No gym yesterday as I feel run down, like I’m fighting a cold. I’ve decided to pay close attention to my eating & listen to my body.

Round 65 SW: 216.4

1/13—216.6—Excellent. I was afraid yesterday's number was a fluke and that I'd bounce way high again. Yesterday, at the very end of round 64, I managed 31 push ups. I'm nearly 1/3 of the way to my end of year goal of being able to do 100 push ups in a single set. Losing more weight would likely help me with that goal!

1/14—219—Least shocking spike ever. I didn't eat well yesterday but had a true salt fest.

1/15—217—It'd be interesting to see where this number would be if I could stop eating salt-laden snacks. Bah!

R65 SW 174.6 GW 174.0
Total Lost to Date: 35.2
Daily Goals: Smarter choices, that I still enjoy
Long Term Goals: A healthy lifestyle I can maintain
Short Term GW: 199.9 by 6/2 - achieved
Short term GW2: 182.6 by 11/1 - achieved
Short term GW3: 170.0 by 1/7/19 - date not met, still working towarads it though!
UGW: 155ish - by April 2019 - this date will most likely be pushed out too and thats ok with me!

01/13 - Sunday - 176.8
01/14 - Monday - DNW
01/15 - Tuesday - 175.0 - I considered sitting this round out. My mental health is taking a beating at the moment with work related things for both me and DH. NOT focusing on that stress though. Only solutions. And I realized that burying my head in the sand and ignoring my own physical health would only be feeding the stress monster, not solutions. I do plan to give myself some grace this round and not push as hard - My mom, grandma and myself are going on a Spa sleepover for grandma's 85th birthday Thursday/Friday! Good genes on that side of the family! Timing could not be better. So, taking things one day, one step, one foot in front of the other at a time.

Day/Weight/Comment

01/13: 233.2 @ 5:30am - Light eating much of the day which 'justified' eating some pizza for dinner. Water intake was good and I got a nice amount of sleep! Tomorrow should be much more organized, so I'm expecting better results in terms of meeting my daily goals.

01/14: ??? - Woke up later than anticipated and started working from home right away, so I missed the weighing window I've established. Healthy breakfast and lunch, but less meals, less steps, less water, and a lack of measuring for meals all probably did not serve me well. I'm going to look to have my meals prepped and measured out, and remember that starting (or restarting) a process like this can have growing pains even if you've done it before!

01/15: 234.8 @ 6:50am - This was not surprising, but no less unwelcome. I did start my morning off with water, measured meals for the day, and an agenda for the day that includes some walking. Here's to making today better!

UGW – 135

1/13 178.6 I’ll take it. I’ve had no power since yesterday around 1 pm. Missed the Chiefs beating the Colts! Go Chiefs!!!! Instead got a 2 mile walk in just around the neighborhood. It was beautiful. A lady stopped me to ask if I needed a ride. I thanked her for the offer, explained that I was just walking for the pleasure of it. She just nodded her head and drove off. This morning I’m going to shovel the driveway and consider that my exercising for the day. Must conserve phone power 😜😜😜
1/14 No Scale Still now power. Used some points from all my work travel to stay at a hotel. I really needed a hot shower so I could come to work clean today! Fingers crossed the power comes back on while I'm here. There are still over 40,000 people in the greater Kansas City area without power. I know they're working on it. I did stay within calories yesterday. My only exercise was shoveling my driveway but depending on what app you believe it burned either 380 or 650. I assumed the lower number but still a good workout. My legs are sore today. I forgot to celebrate that I'm in the 170's. It's been at least 10 years since I was in the 170s. NSV due to the weather I needed to wear warm slacks and packed accordingly. When I got dressed this morning I didn't realize how long it had worn them. They're too big!!! Of course I'm stuck in them all day but it's the price of of all this and I'm happy to pull them up every time I stand up!
1/15 180.2 Up over a pound but I suspect it's that old demon sodium. I had to attend a work lunch yesterday at a Chinese restaurant. Impossible to avoid it. Good news the power is back on!!! I did not get to work out yesterday as I has planned. Dealing with house stuff and work stuff made it impossible. I'm going tonight. I have a hair appt at 5:00 so I won't be able to go until after but my body needs the workout. I've not been going over calories, but haven't been eating super healthy either. A work out and a salad will do me a world of good. I think I'll be back down to at least 179.X tomorrow. It's a roller coaster baby try to enjoy the ride.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

01/13- 207.8. I was surprised with a gain. Last round and the start of this one really is a surprise. But I’ve been working out more than in theist few months so I’m wondering if this is muscle gain and just my body shifting. My clothes still feel fine so I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing.
01/14 - 207.4
01/15- 207.0. I am feeling way more in control this month. I’m home with a. Sick kid today so need to try hard to stick to my plan - food, water. It might be hard to get some steps in.

@bryony_bby I wear my Garmin on my ankle because I don’t swing my arms when I walk. I also realized that I wasn’t getting steps for grocery shopping because I was pushing the cart. My original step counter was made to clip in a shoe which really makes more sense to me than on the wrist.

My goals this round- get to into the 160’s!!!!!!. Drink lots of water and make exercise a priority.
1/13-170 I got a good downward swoosh!!! I so badly want to get into the 160’s.
1/14-171 a swoosh up. Back in the day, in my 20’s I could pretty much lose a pound a day if I exercised and starved myself.Its a whole different ball game now!😂
1/15-171 Dinner out with the quilters, I made wise choices but it was salty. Non stop rain; the dogs and I want to walk.
