Total loss for January – 3.4 pounds so far…
Hit a big plateau and was feeling very weak last week so I decided to eat extra (only healthy food) for a week and see what happens. Felt stronger so decided to listen to my body and adjust accordingly but only eat healthy food. Finally pushed through the plateau and lost one more pound. I am close (5 pounds) to goal weight and have decided to follow my healthy habits and not to worry if the last few take a ew months to come off. I feel so much better.
It is inspiring to see everybody's downward trend. Let's keep it up!11 -

Lbs lost in January - 1.6/4.06 -
January 1st - 181.4
January 2nd -181.1 So glad to have my new digital scale so that I feel rewarded by "good" days. I am also happy with my decision to weigh every day, it makes me mindful every night that I will be weighing in the morning and affects my choices.
January 3rd - 181.9
January 4th - 181.7
January 5th - 178.7
January 6th - 182.5 Crazy how everything fluctuates. I couldn't believe yesterday, so weighed 5 times. Up 3.8 from yesterday, but I have skating on the docket for today. Perhaps I will discover a trend in something that I am doing, eating, or something that I am not eating with how it affects me.
January 7th - 181.7
January 8th - 183.0 - really don't get the gain this time, I was in really good numbers all week.
January 9th - 182.2 - I seriously expect a really big loss soon. I am just sticking with it. I am working very long hours this week, maybe my body is holding on to it just in case.
January 10th - 179.8 - not getting too excited, I see how I can be almost 4 pounds more the next day. Still, glad to be slightly under 180 at least for today : - )
January 11th - 180.7
January 12th - 182.4 - I was less disciplined in December and still lost weight, yet this month I am being so careful and am just not dropping weight. I have to stick with it.
January 13th - 181.4
January 14th - 181.7
January 15th - 181.6
January 16th - 180.3 - I have seen the 70s twice this month already, but not getting my hopes up just yet. Skating yesterday and again today. I work out every day no matter what, but skating seems to be the difference maker. Maybe because it is so fun and relieves me of stress at the same time as torching lots of calories. 16 days of discipline to lose a 1/2 of a pound is ridiculous.
January 17th - 178.7 - Yay! 2 days of public skating makes such a difference. Wish that I could do it year round, it is the only thing that I enjoy for an entire hour.
January 18th - 178.7 - No skating, so not even .1 of a pound. I did 30 minutes of Zumba yesterday and only managed to eat 1100 calories. Public skating is 3 days per week unless I drive to a different town. Lol, thinking about that!
January 19th - 179.2
January 20th - 180.7 - lack of sleep.
January 21st - 180.7 - Up 2 pounds from the 18th. Even skated yesterday. I can't give up now though. Only 10 days until the end of the month. Hoping for a woosh. Very frustrated, not feeling like it is worth all of the effort today. Did 55 minutes of zumba. 4 days in the 70s this month, c'mon body!
January 22nd - 180.9 - luckily I have skating today. .5 of a pound is not good enough for 22 days. Plateau?
January 23rd - 178.9 - skating yesterday and again today, then none again until next week unless I can find a frozen pond while I am away for 5 days. I leave tomorrow and it is going to be a challenge with foodie friends cooking very high calorie foods. I was hoping to have had a bit of a cushion by this time in January so that I could enjoy myself on this trip, but I have had to be clawing for every increment of a pound.
January 24th - 178.5 - result of ice skating yesterday. 7 days left in the month, 2 more opportunities for public skating before that. I won't be able to weigh in again until next Tuesday.

195.0 woo hoo!!! Water weight is not a joke! Haha. I hope to lose 2 to 3 more lbs, if possible.
Next weigh in: 28th
Wow! I had about 8 lbs of IV fluid weight after my surgery in November. It's great to get it gone, isn't it?
Onward we go!

Heck yeah, Jenn. Speak it Sis!2 -

January 3rd - 156.3 ( up 5.1 pounds) My New Years day has caught up with me. Plus we had a freak blizzard where we live and got trapped in the house for 2 days. I didn't do to bad, but ate way more carbs than usual and it shows. It will be gone within a day or 2, but annoying still. This month I am hitting at least 146!
January 10 th - 150.9 (down 1.5 pounds) Waiting for a woosh. Been here for a couple of days, so we will see what happens next week. I should see that elusive 140 decade.
January 17th - 149.6 ( down 2.8 pounds) was lower yesterday but had a pretty big dinner. Was really hungry and ate even after I was full. Still happy with this number and ready to get to my 5 pound loss for the first time since doing these challenges.
January 24th - 149.4 (down 3 pounds) I'll take it. Hopefully I can finish next week lower, but am happy with this month so far!

My goal is to start tracking what I am eating more often, and for sure being more active in the forums. College has me stress eating more than ever. Not going to let that be my excuse 👊🏽8 -
My new things besides going to the gym 4x/week is having no sugared beverages. I had a 7 day streak before I gave into delicious caramel bubble tea. It was worth it. A regular sized drink split into two days (dinners).
Now, I'm on day 2 again of no sugared beverages and knowing that I can keep this up excites me.
Also, I'm wearing size 12 pants today when I usually where size 14. They do fit a little tight but they are not as loose as my size 14 so bam! I'm getting there.
All that I ask for now is hitting a 3.6 lb loss for the month. The closer I get to 130 the more, more, more I think it's possible to get there by April.

Man this month has been the most difficult, with birthdays and vacations my meal prep and exercise routine went haywire. I’m proud that I kept active enough to still not gain but disappointed in where I could’ve been this month if I hadn’t slacked. Oh well this is life
Here’s to next month! And a goal to get under 200 lbs for the first time in 4 years!!!!7 -

❄Updating every day through January until completely back on track.
•Monday Updates•📌1/01- 178 - Oh yeah, midnight eating and a little champagne. My weight is between 174 & 175 this is fluid.1/12 - 173.2 - Yesterday 29g carbs 23g net carbs
1/102 - 177.2
1/03 - 175.8
1/04 - 177.6 - Felt miserable all day yesterday with some type of weird allergy cold again. Exercised, ate dinner and went to bed later than usual. Now gut is upset. What the what?!
1/05 -177.2 - Had no appetite most of the day yesterday, runny nose, gut in an uproar, whole 9 yards of misery. Took some cold medicine late afternoon and then proceeded to overeat cookies.😦
1/06 - 178.2 - Still with the carb craziness!
📌 1/07 - 177.2 - Coming back down. This "allergy cold" still hanging on. I will be staying under 20 grams of carbs today. (That should say net carbs.)
1/08 - 174.4 - 18g net carbs, 16g net is the plan today.
1/09 - 174.8 - I did better than planned yesterday, 19g carbs, 12g net. Today's plan is 16g/13g net.
1/10 - 174 - 20g carbs, 17g net carbs.
1/11- 172.8 - Yesterday 15g carbs, 12g net carbs.
1/13 - 175.2 - 21g carbs, 17g net carbs
📌 1/14/ - 176.2 - 63g carbs, 57g net carbs - black truffle & olive oil kettle chips was the culprit. Did not want to resist them.😏
1/15 - 173.2 - on track
1/16 - 173.8 - on track - 45g carbs 19g net carbs. Since I've had a couple of days of eating something (nuts or those chips!) after my fasting hours began, I've changed my eating window to end a couple of hours later. It seems to be working, but my early weigh ins will read a higher number at the 12th-13th hr fasting point as opposed to the 15th-16th hour.
1/17 - 173.2
1/18 - 172.2 - Mmm, maybe I will see a new decade at the end of the month.
After my post on the morning of the 18th, no Internet at home until the morning of the 23rd. I had a couple of high calorie days, a couple of high carb days. Mostly vegetables and nuts. Tomato soup one day, hot chocolate yesterday. A few days, junk carbs, cookie, chips, chocolate. The winter weather has been colder than it has been for a long time. Makes me want to eat!

January 19th - 223.50 Stayed the same
January 26th - 221.50
Lost 2 yay, so ok then I am going to get that other .5 off by 2/1/2019.
Kept my carbs under 55 daily that seems to be it for me. Both for losing weight, but to keep the diabetic blood sugars in range.
For those that do order stuff online, there is a Hot Chocolate by Healthwise. Has I think only 3 carbs, and 15 grams of protein, 60 calories I think.. For anyone who is a low carber, and loves hot chocolate. I do via amazon.
Stuff is great, and nope I do not sell it. I just buy it. The chocolate and marshmallow flavors are great. I tried the amaretto flavor, as I love that flavor normally but not in this hot chocolate.
