JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 65

This is round 2 for me! I love doing this.
SW: 294
CW: 282.6
GW: 150ish I think I felt best at this weight.

01/13 282.6 and down a total of 11.4 pounds since Jan 1, have only eaten bad once in that time and I’m finding it easier everyday to follow my lifestyle plan. I’ve started to incorporate exercise as well so I’m hoping to really see some pounds fall off this week.

01/14 282.2 was so sick today. Ugh. I will swear to it that my humidifier made me ill but who knows. So, no exercise today and TONS of schoolwork. This semester is going to be hard especially since I’m going back to working full time. I just have to stay focused on that and losing weight. I know I can do this.

01/15 282.0 What a slow week. Still feeling pretty grungey but so much better than I did yesterday. Going to attempt a workout today. My husband got those Bluetooth boflex weights and they have a ton of exercises to do on their app. Been a long time since I’ve lifted so I certainly want to take it slow. Hope everyone else has a good day, I’ve noticed the thread has really quieted since the last one.

01/16 281.0 Feeling even better today. Did an arm workout yesterday called “Armageddon” and boy am I feeling it today. My arms are jello! Luckily all I have to do is some school work. Feeling really good about myself right now. Just, good. You know? Like I’ve finally got ahold of my life again and I know I can do this. I’m so disappointed I let myself get so out of control again but I got this.

**Just after I thought today was getting better my period comes out of no where and 9 days early which puts me at a 20 day cycle. So frustrating.

01/17 280.6 despite being super bloated. Still loosing. Attempted piyo this morning. Did about 15 min of core and the baby started crying so that was it for me. Still felt good to do it. Going to do a bit of yoga when I get home and a treadmill walk. Yesterday I was a bit incapacitated so no exercise and I did eat bad and didn’t log anything so I’m happy with my half pound loss. Also have lots of school work to do so...ugh. That too.

01/18 ?

01/19 281 not a bad eating day the last few days but drank a whole bunch of wine and vodka with my girlfriend Thursday night so I’m not surprised to see the jump up however slight. I’m hoping that in the next 3 days I can see the 270s though. I’m down 13 pounds total this month so far and I’m excited to see that but wish it happened faster. I know it’s a lot but it’s not surprising for my weight. Just ready to start feeling more comfortable in my skin again. Did yoga this morning before work and have been trying to work on a sociology paper all day literally to no avail. Ready to get home so I can concentrate in peace.

@allmannerofthings I think you are right, January blues makes sense. I got this way last year so it might be a legit trend for me

@kmfeig87 thank you ❤

First time:- Round 65
Mini mini goal - drop below 170.
Interim goal :- 164 - that puts me in 'just fat' instead of 'obese' on the BMI scale
Final goal:- 135 I was most comfortable here. For my height, that's still at the top of the range, but I felt I could comfortably maintain that without eating like a rabbit!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 Walked 70 mins treadmill - fatloss programme
01/14 170.6 My weekly weigh in day. Walked as above.
01/15 Had pasta for dinner . Walked as above.
01/16 171 For the first time in a very long time, I logged in just over my base of 1200 cals. And I'm surprised I don't feel any worse for it - not starving or deprived of anything. Walked as above.
01/17 170 Over my base calories but still within if I add exercise. Usual 70 mins (10 000 steps) on t/mill.
01/18 Did not weigh this morning And also my rest day. But tracked everything and was well within my range. Friday is my toughest day at work, so still got over 10 000 in.
01/19 168.8 Quite surprised but a boost. Walked 90mins on the trails today, wet and muddy after all the rain Southern Cal has had, but a beautiful cool and crisp, misty morning. Eating wasn't good tho, back in the saddle tomorrow.

GW 140
UGW 125

01/13 143.8 a slight bump up, yesterday was hard. A big family breakfast and dinner and although I started out great, by the end of the day I gave in after dinner to snacks. Sheeeeesh! This is getting more and , more difficult as I go on. Work so hard to loose a little, takes nothing to gain a little. I am going to have to pre-plan for next week. I will schedule Saturdays as my rest day workout wise (there is no way to get around it) but my eating needs to be on point. I'm ok with a cheat meal here and there but it can't be on a day I don't work out
I
01/14 145.8 WHAT THE FUNK!!! I know this weekend was rough for me, I know I didn't workout yesterday, got minimal steps in and my eating wasn't the greatest but this is so dissapointing all the same. I want to say I deserve this but I also don't. I looked at my exercise log and noticed that I worked out for the last 8 days straight and managed to only maintain, yet I have two bad nights (not two whole days, just around dinner time) and my weight bumps up this much. I am getting so aggravated now. This was my number after 10 days of Christmas holidays...so like I said WHAT THE FUNK!! I am so grumpy today 😫😧

01/15 no weigh in. Woke up late jogged and some weight lifting yesterday but not much else

01/16 143.8 and back to my number at the beginning of the round. The past couple of days I have been grumpy and slightly depressed (besides this group I have been telling others I wasn't feeling well, it's so much easier then explaining depression). It demotivated me and although I did get a jog and some weight training in on Monday and yesterday had 90 min of volleyball, today I am determined to do my usual routine and get my butt back into it. I am finally sick of this number and am ready to change it. Yesterday I only got 4000+ steps (like I said wasn't feeling the greatest) but I did eat under calories and 2 liters of water. If I have trouble loosing by the end I am going to try the egg fast @deepwoodslady has been talking about.

01/17 144.4 did nothing to deserve this uptick, this is getting frustrating. +30,000 steps, worked out, ate under Calories and 1.8 liters of water. I am half determined and half annoyed. Why is this getting so darn difficult. Work out like crazy but only manage a maintain or smal gain😧😧 trying to keep my head on straight. I am usually an upbeat, motivated person but I do crash at times and when I fall, I fall. I am trying to keep going and not consintrate on the number too much. Wanted to be bellow 140s by the time my birthday hit but that came and went and I was fine.., then wanted to be bellow the 140s by my 9 year anniversary (Jan 23rd) but I am starting to think that won't happen and it is really concerning me. Sorry for whining. Just aggravated

01/18 143.6 and back down. I don't know if it's the time of the year because I had this same trouble last year around this time and maybe my body is just holding onto some fat in order to be betrer insilated for the winter. Today I realized this whole time I wasn't upset about not being able to loose, i was upset about trying so hard and to not see the scale budge at all, makes me wonder what would have happened if I wasn't trying. I guess I can finally answer the question about all the steady gains in my life and how I could have possibly let it get away from me. After these ten days it will be officially a month of no change. Thank gosh I feel better, over all when I workout or else I don't know if I would have continued sticking too it. I can feel the frustration, nipping at my willpower. My thoughts are, if I am going to gain anyway I might as well stop watching everything, weighing everything, using alternative methods for food....but I know I have to stop these thoughts dead, trying to remind myself it's about being healthy, weight loss is just the bonus. Once again sorry for the rant, i have been grumpy all week.

01/19142.0 Wow! That's all I have to say. My scale said 141.6 but after jumping on a couple more times, this came up. I am so confused, yesterday I ate so much food, I was so hungry it wasn't even funny. However I did work out good and got in a little over 17000 steps and drank 1.5 liters of water. I also took my measurements this morning and have lost 1/2 an inch almost everywhere so I am actually relieved and happy today with the results. I just hope they stick around or I can continue this steady drop over the next couple of days *fingers crossed*

SW 370.8 – Round 65 (1/13/19)
GW 362 – Jan 31st
GW 299 – End of 2019 (6.2)

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 – 370.8 – 2nd day in a row up. Unfortunately this weekend I have had eating out functions everyday. I have another one today and Pizza Tuesday. My plan for Tuesday is one piece of pizza, no appetizers and I will order a big salad if a salad is not ordered. I eat out a lot on weekends, so sodium is high. I will drink plenty of water next two days and I hope to be down again by Wed.
01/14 – 371 – I lost 2.8 pounds at WW today! Yay! Got in my 7000 steps yesterday. Was not a blue dot day. This week I am going to do better with the blue dot days M-F for sure starting today.
01/15 371.2 – I did 7000 steps, got in 6 hours sleep, not a blue dot day. And so far I don’t think today will be a blue dot day. So in 2 days gained about a half a pound. Got to put the breaks on…..
01/16 372
01/17 371.6 - finally going in the right direction. Hope to keep it going. This 10 days is going fast. So I have 5 more days to lose something. I can do it! lol
01/18 no weigh in – woke up too late and running late
01/19 375.8 - too much sodium, Chinese food yesterday and leftovers today

2nd round here we go
OSW 6th Jan 2019 88kg
RSW 85.1kg {- 2.9kg or 6.4lbs}
RGW 83.5kg

01/13 85kg I made my 3kg in my 1st week which makes me so happy. Now not to give up when it slows down! I'll keep on logging everything and keep to my Keto macros.
01/14 85kg still in the green for calories and macros. Did my morning run after sedentary Sunday.
01/15 84.9kg scale give me 2 different scores so I took the highest. Still going strong with everything. Tried the push ups but could hardly do level 1 even on my knees! Will keep at it. All Christmas weight gone... Now to lose the last long vacation weight!
01/16 84.5kg still all green. A short fast (for me!) run this morning and I did my evening workout last night. I really loathe burpees.
01/17 84.1kg this makes me very happy! Stayed in the green. Dry January going well and did the strength training... Working up to the push ups!
01/18 84.1kg short morning run done and exercise last night. Stayed in the green. Feeling positive!
01/19 84kg it's coming off slowly. Official weigh in tomorrow. Still keeping it green, loving everything and exercising on the evening... Still not liking burpees!
01/20 83.8kg. 1.2 kg down for the official weigh in. Squeezed the exercise in despite my football (soccer) watching commitments. Running tomorrow.

@Thewaffle86 love the name change and the positive philosophy behind it. Great losses this round too and you're keeping on with the C25K! Congratulations on all of this! One of my apps always starts with the saying "It doesn't get easier you just get better at it" which I'm adopting as my 2019 motto.

This is a great thread for accountability and support.



Back for another round. Posting weight each morning, and comments for the previous day.
In October 2017 I weighed 158lbs. My aim for 2019 is to reach 155.

JGM10D ~|~ Round 65
I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!
Previous 5 rounds

Daily Goals
Round 64 -|- End Goal: < 167
11/01: 166.7: Goals ✅ Went to a health seminar at our local state of the art leisure centre this afternoon. They had a draw for ten x 10hr Boditrax courses at a 90% reduction (£30 instead of £300), and I won one of them. We get 10 weeks temporary membership at the centre, a Boditrax health/fitness analysis at the beginning, 10 x 1hr sessions with a personal coach, and another analysis at the end to see how we have done. It's just what I need to make the final,push to my Ideal goal weight.
12/01: 166.5: Goals One more lb of Xmas excess to discard. Out most of today with my DYD. It will keep me away from temptation.

Round 65 ~|~ End Goal: < 165
13/12: 166.4: Goals ✅ Stayed on track. NSV: Visited with DED and she had had baclava. I had two pieces, but declined any of the other goodies. Was under basic calories for the day! I normally eat back a lot of my exercise calories when we visit with them, as she and DYGS bake for our visit each week.
14/12: 166.4: Goals 😃 Delighted to have maintained over the weekend. ✅ Got my workout in early, and walked over 11,000 steps. Also had a decent deficit, food wise.
15/12: 166.2: Goals ✅ No time to do HIIT today. Had a few chocolates when at my crochet group, but still under goal.
16/12: 166.1: Goals ✅ Grocery shopping today, so lots of fresh fruit/veg for the days ahead.
17/12: 165.9: Goals Meh!!! I did really well right up until it was almost bedtime, then started snacking my way through my deficit. Stopped short of going over, which I wouldn't have done in the past, but Pringles and crackers were not my finest choices. I'm, frankly, amazed that I haven't retained more water with all that sodium. Still, just one bad day since New Year is an NSV, and a definite improvement on my track record. At least I have 5 days left to reach my round EW.
18/12: 166.0: Goals ✅ Had a busy day with Latin Study and Photography groups. Did 40 mins strength after dinner, and then caught up with my steps with indoor walking a la Leslie Sansone. 🤞🏻Just the weekend to get through. 🤞🏻
19/12: 165.7: Goals ✅ Worked about the house. Did 25 strength and some interval training. Had a 40g of popcorn while watching Harry Potter. Had a glass of wine with dinner.
20/12: 165.8: Goals Have already done 15 strength.
21/12: xxx: Goals
22/12: xxx: Goals

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving 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!

Committing myself for the next ten days! Good luck everybody.

SW- 220.6

Day/Weight/Comment

01/13- 220.6- Been doing well with moderating my alcohol intake for the last week and monitoring food. Also I have been making an effort to stay fairly active. Today I am aiming to not snack and to get a long walk in later with the dog. Good luck everybody X

01/14- 220.0- A good day yesterday, been out walking for 2 hours this morning though because I was pushing a buggy the Fitbit didn't log all the steps. It's a low calorie day today, feeling very in control at the moment X

01/15- 221.0- yesterday was very successful, 15,000steps and stuck to my calorie goals, hopefully the scales will show the drop tomorrow. Today I am aiming to stay under 1500cals, not many steps but il make up for it tomorrow x

01/16- 219.4- Yesterday I ended on about 1900cals which is 400cal more than what I was aiming for, I stayed up too late and then snacked when I really should have gone to bed. Today is a low calorie day, plenty of walking, just done a food shop so I'm set up for success for the next week X

01/17- 219.0- Going in the right direction, I smashed through yesterday's goals and when I got tired I actually went to bed instead of grabbing the nearest sugary snack. Today I would like to stay under 1500cals and get some housework done. It's chilly outside but I will be focusing again on steps tomorrow X

01/18- 218.2- I stayed under my calorie goal yesterday, I feel like I made good use of those calories aswel. Today is a fast day, I will be getting my steps in nice and early X

01/19- 217.6- Well yesterday's fast turned into 1800cals (and not on the right kind of food)...but I am retrying today, I know they say to write off failed fasts and just carry on with your next planned one but I feel like fasting fits in well with my plans today so I'm happy to do it today instead. Another little drop on the scales this morning, all adding up X

01/20- 217.0lb- yesterday's calories were just slightly over goal which I was happy with but on the step front I did terribly! Today we have a very rare child free day, using it to sort out the kitchen cupboards and touch up the walls downstairs, fun fun fun, have a good day all X

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 11st 8.0lb No change today, but slightly earlier weigh in. Looking for similar loss this round if possible.
01/14 11st 8.2lb Later weigh in, not that it's done me any favours. Had less than allowed MFP calories yesterday. I was going to go for a walk today but the weather looks miserable outside. I really need to reset my bedtime and getting up time so that I start having normal days again.
01/15 11st 8.2lb No change to weight. I went to bed 3 hours earlier than yesterday, but it didn't help that much as I couldn't sleep for ages even though I'd fallen asleep on the sofa for an hour before I went to bed. Was restless much of the night. Despite coming in at less calories again and actually getting out yesterday for the walk I still haven't had a loss. Disappointed.
01/16 11st 8.2lb Still no change. I ate slightly under calories again - my trend weight is not looking good at all.
01/17 11st 7.6lb Finally a 0.5lb loss which takes me just 0.2lb lower than I was 10 days ago. Oh well, no one said this was going to be easy! I'd like to be at least 1.5lb lower this round.
01/18 11st 7.4lb Earlier weigh in than usual so I'm happy with a 0.2lb loss. Hoping to keep to this earlier weigh in as I'd only be fooling myself if I waited another couple of hours, and besides, I want my breakfast!
01/19 11st 7.4lb. No change, but that's ok. Was expecting a bit of a loss as I got out and walked yesterday but so long as I don't gain I'm happy.

01/20 11st 7.0lb Late weigh in but I'll accept this as correct..tomorrow might disagree!

Mine this year is "Don't be the same be better" I think it's not just a motto for the year but hour by hour , day by day take a step at a time.

Re cheat days. I read a LONG time ago an interesting (And horrific) Publication about experiments on concentration camps victims, Where they starved them and at one point the victims stopped losing so much weight, so they introduced one high calorie meal a week and that kick started more weight loss (not to imagine the mental anguish that came with that) They replicated the experiment here in ww2 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25782294 (NOT saying we are starving at all but why for some cheat days work) ..Hope this hasn't caused any offence x

Today I have had coffee and some dark choc (heaven as have had no naughties and green tea all week) Roast dinner day so hopefully no gain tomorrow, as it is proper weigh in day. Yoga done this morning I can get into a full crab on tip toe but not with raised off my head yet (I'm sure that will be easier when I lose more weight..less to lift up!. I want to start running again but it's so slippery with ice here I don't fancy another ankle injury (one dislocates as it is)
