14/01 Very active weekend, 30000 steps, 2 hours of Rowing, Strength Training and some Yoga. Ate reasonably well. Not aching quite as much this week so hopefully start to see some of my calorie deficit reflected on the scale at some point.

15/01 Up early to go to the work gym this morning before rowing around 6.5km on the nice calm waters of the River Lee. Goals for today are to get some yoga done before bed and to make sure I go buy lunch for the rest of the week from the supermarket, not the deli next door that I have to call in to, to talk about a raffle prize - wish me luck with my willpower!

16/01 Over my calories again yesterday (but in a deficit still) as I was ravenous from rowing/weight training. I have Pole Class tonight and will be walking in/out of walk, which is about 7km altogether, so a reasonably active day ahead. Dinner is in the fridge ready to be re-heated.

17/01 2nd Pole Class over and done, felt far less clumsy and a bit more composed, still had to modify some of the exercises but I'll get there eventually. Shark Week is on it's way so feeling rather bloaty, going to try and cut down on added sugar a bit in the next few weeks, not because there's anything wrong with sugar, just need to curb some calories and that's the easiest place for me to cut it from at the moment. I was out for another row this morning which was lovely especially with the crisp clear sky and sunrise. Goal for today is to stay under maintenance and do some yoga.

21/01 I was away at the weekend, with the exception of portion control which wasn't too bad , I had little input to what I was eating, I have no idea what the calorie intake was in the slightest and haven't been able to weigh so no idea what my true trendweight is, I do know based on the few entries I do have for the last 10 days I've crept back into Obese Class II which I am not happy about so having a quiet word with myself today and trying to get my eating habits back under control again, I don't want to end up back where I started in 6 months time!

Start Weight on 1st Jan '19
Starting - 158.50lb
End R64 - 154.90lb - Down 3.60lb

Into it properly this round! Went swimming today and they were running a free NHS health check. Blood pressure, LDL, HDL and total cholesterol and my blood sugars were all well within the "excellent" range and they gave me a heart age of 40 and a less than 1% risk of a heart attack in the next 10 years so I was very happy with the results. Only thing I hit amber on was my BMI which I knew and it annoyed me being the only marker not in green! So feeling fired up to get it back into the green. Also booked our summer holiday this week so a bit more motivation there!

R65 goal - will be happy with 1.50lb a round - so 153.40lb is my target...

01/12 - 154.90
01/13 - 153.60 - down 1.3lb - just from having a proper controlled day and a bit of exercise (swimming yesterday - about 40 minutes) - Sunday today so a bigger dinner (albeit within calories) but all good so far

01/14 - 152.10lb down 1.50lb. Can't remember the last time I had a loss over a weekend so happy about that! Onwards and downwards..... Exceeded my round goal already so now aiming to just keep losing - difficult to set targets when only just back into it properly as losses are normally accelerated so as long as the weight keeps coming off then its all good. Good day planned today, dinner already in the slow cooker - Love the feeling of being back in control

01/15 - 151.30 down 0.8lb so -3.6lb this round so far. I know this can't carry on at this rate but certainly a great boost to start me off. My day is planned food wise so I'm happy Still have my end of round goal as to lose a bit more and keep heading down!

01/16 - 151.20 down 0.1lb - a tiny drop today. Not unexpected that it will start to slow. But I know I was on plan yesterday but did have more carbs in my dinner last night than I would do normally (and feeling bloated today as a result!) so possibly just due to that. All good though

01/17 - 151.80 up 0.6lb ????? no idea, not as a result of my calorie intake so not worried. Guess my body adjusting to the pretty large weight loss over the last week... Watch this space as they say

01/18 - 150.80 down 1.0lb since yesterday and back to an overall drop - not sure what the last few days was about but hey ho! Goes to show how peoples weight can vary daily even when "being good" . Lost 4.1lb this round so far so very happy and with the weekend approaching if I finish on this on Tuesday I'll be happy - lose a bit more I'll be even happier! Nothing out the ordinary this weekend so no reason not to stay totally on track although need to ensure I drink enough as that's my usual weekend downfall

01/19 - 150.4lb - down 0.4lb - forgot to log in here and update!
01/20 - 149.90lb - down another .50lb and back under 150 so very happy about that. Sunday evening is always a big Sunday roast dinner night (even though within calorie allowance) and we always have a dessert which I don't normally have - so not unusual to see the scale up on a Monday but here's hoping ... Will just try and eat a little less I guess ? Although will still have my normal glass of red wine with dinner - my weekly treat!

01/21 - 149.60 down 0.30lb - SSSOOO happy with this - a weekend and a loss! Goes to show what I can do when I set my mind to it I guess even despite our full on Sunday roast dinner last night. I made a real concerted effort to eat a bit less but still had dessert but never got round to a glass of vino. Yay All on track for a good day today too and a string finish to the round tomorrow ....

01/20 - I can't remember. I was hungover. Stuck to calorie target all day though and didn't give in to urge to eat junk food to recover!

Result of round 65: -X.X lbs

I am on plan still. I made sure I was prepped for the week by making some low cal popcorn, sugar free jelly and there is a beef stew in the slow cooker for tonight. Also made my ham sandwich for lunch this morning. All accounted for and tracked in MFP already.

Round 61 11st 12lb (-1 lb)

Round 64 11st 8.0lb (-3.8lb)

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!

01/21 11st 7.0lb Early weigh in so happy with this. I moved the scale and it showed higher so I moved it back again!

1/20 - I think my new goal each round will be “weigh less than round starting weight” or I may do two rounds of “just give me FIVE days” 😜

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

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

01/21- 216.2lb- did well yesterday, low calorie day today, already got in my 10,000steps :-) X

Pre challenge weight loss: -12 lbs.
Challenge weight loss R40 – R64: -29 lbs

My tax season starts this round which means I'll be working weekends and roughly 12 hours a day. Clients bring us goodies and the owner of the CPA firm often buys us lunch and dinner. I'm going to use this round to figure out exactly how to maintain my weight while being tempted by donuts, cookies, pizza, etc. It's almost as bad as the holidays!

R65 SW: 145

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 - 144 - I'm very surprised! Due to my sodium yesterday and today, I'll bet it goes up tomorrow, but I'm very happy today. I've also got my lunch and healthy snacks packed for tomorrow.
01/14 - 146 - Here's the sodium! I'll be drinking plenty of water today.
01/15 - 147 - Wow, I did not want to post this, but facing this is what has kept me on track the last 8 months. My daughter stopped by last night so I had an extra glass of wine with her and I ate leftovers from Sunday for dinner, which did not help with my water weight. I have supper plans with my my golf league tonight at an Italian restaurant, so tomorrow is probably not going to be any better. But, it is my last night out with the ladies until tax season is over in April, so I'm going to go and enjoy myself. I'll just have to work really hard this next week to get my weight back down.
01/16 - 146.5 - I had a great time last night and managed to stay just under maintenance calories for the day.
01/17 - 145.5 - I slept well last night and got plenty of water yesterday.
01/18 - 145.5 - I did not sleep well last night. We've got a winter storm hitting my area tomorrow and my car started flashing a check engine light along with traction control failure lights on the way home last night. I can't take off work today because of tax season so I drove in this morning with the lights. I've got to work some hours tomorrow before the storm hits, so I'll have to juggle dropping off the car at the garage and borrowing my husband's car to drive in to work. My daughter and her boyfriend are driving south to WV to see an indie rock concert this weekend, so I'm a nervous wreck about them driving through this storm. These are the types of triggers that can cause me to stress eat, but I'm more aware of them now and as many of you have said, eating is not going to fix anything. I hope all of you have a good weekend!
01/19 - 145 - I did not stress eat yesterday! My daughter elected not to go to WV due to the weather and the mechanic should be able to fix my car this morning while I'm at work. I'm going to work a few hours and try to get home before the snow hits our area.
01/20 - 146 - I did not have enough water yesterday. We stayed sitting by the fireplace most of the late afternoon and evening watching the snow and enjoying some coffee and wine.
01/21 - 146.5 - I'm paying for my lazy Sunday. If only white-knuckle driving through inches of snow burned calories I would be down a couple pounds for tomorrow. Oh well, I made it to work this morning and I'll try to drink all my water and get back to weight loss calories.

Still pretty happy with that as I kept most of the whoosh from yesterday. Yesterday was under calories but also just under my steps. Start of the week though and it’s going to be a busy one. Hopefully some of my weekend prep will help make it a bit smoother.

1/13: 201.4 - up .6lbs from yesterday. Still pretty sick and miserable. Hit all my goals except steps and exercise. Still had 9k steps and hit my Fitbit calorie burn goal - moms never really get to rest

1/14: 201.2 - Still sick, hit all my goals yesterday except for dedicated exercise.

1/15: 201.6 - Yesterday, still sick, but getting better. Hit all my goals.

1/16: 200.8 - back to where I started the round. It’s a special type of mental torture hovering over onederland for so many days. Met all my goals yesterday. Feeling better except a lingering cough.

1/17: 200.6 - Yesterday, ate a chocolate muffin for breakfast but still stayed within my calorie goal for the day. Didn’t work out as hard as usual but still got in 1hr dedicated exercise. Only drank 80oz of water instead of my 100oz goal. I really wanted a glass of wine, but I resisted.

1/18: 200.8 - seriously?! Ate well yesterday, hit all my goals.

1/19: 201.2 - 🤬. Hit all my goals yesterday

1/20: Didn’t weigh. Hit all my goals, except we got a very rare date night, so I had wine. No regrets.

1/21: 203.6 - 😞 Ate very clean and hit all my goals yesterday

1/22:
