Day/Weight/Comment
01/23: 230.6 @ 7:03a – It’s always very encouraging to start a round lower than you ended the previous one! I met almost all of my goals today, and I got a Fitbit green screen today for the first time in a while (accomplished goals for steps, miles, calories expended, exercise done, and flights of stairs climbed - all in the same day). The one thing that has been killing me is water intake, which gets tricky if supply is an issue or the day gets busy. I’m going to work on this tomorrow to get back in the swing of things. If this progression sticks for more than a few days then I will update my goal for the round!

01/24: ??? – I had every intention of weighing myself today, but I never got to a point in the day where I felt comfortable doing so. I was okay with this, though, as I put in a lot work to exceed my activity goals for the day. Got in 64 oz. of water to improve on the previous few days and was happy with my food choices. I was surprised with healthy stuffed peppers for dinner and adjusted for it in a way that I am confident will contribute to positive results over the next few days.

01/25: 229.8 @ 7:00a – Very glad to see that my substitutions yesterday contributed to the downward trend! I had a good amount of steps (7900+) but less steps and water intake overall. I have to come up with a plan for busy days while I am waiting for the exercise bike to arrive so that I can get my desired level of activity in! It’s Mexican for Shabbat dinner tonight, so we’ll see if the meal strategy I’ve been employing for Friday nights works out.

01/26: 230.0 @ 9:30a – Today saw more steps than the average Saturday due to adventures and errands in the snow! Another augmented eating schedule due to Shabbat, and I ate a fair amount due to delayed meals and the menu (delicious, though salty, Indian food), so I’ll have to be sure tomorrow is back to my regularly scheduled program.

01/27: 230.4 @ 8:00a – Slight, continuing uptick, but I am actually pleased that the usual spike that I get on the weekend was pretty tempered! Unfortunately, the structure and activity of the day had me off my eating schedule and present at an event (I forgot about) where I was expected to eat sugary stuff outside of my parameters. Coupled with a late dinner, I’ll probably have a gain on the scale tomorrow. I’m going to bear down and keep it very disciplined over the business week since I have an even more-event-filled weekend coming up and I’m looking to end the round under the weight I started it at!

@taxgirl1 I am doing The Plan by Lynn Genet, https://lyngenet.com/. I highly recommend the book. If you fail a test, then you do a "safe" day. Once your weight goes down again, then you can test. I had done this before, so I knew that walnuts were safe for me. Most of the "water" weight that I lose is really inflammation.

I wasn't feeling well, so I forgot to post.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 376 (+0.6) - Yesterday at home, did not do steps but had a good eating day. I should have did a Leslie Sansone DVD.
01/24 374.8 (-1.2) - back on track! Now to keep it going. Back at work today. Had a salad for dinner. Overall good day today.
01/25 373.2 (-1.6) – A so so today. Got 7000 step goal in. A little over my WW points. Goal to maintain weight loss over the weekend.
01/26 no weigh in
01/27 373.2 (0.0)
01/28 370.6 (-2.6) - I had a good weekend. Weather is terrible here in shy town. Got to go get prepared for shut in. This will be a challenge but I am up for it because I want to get back in the next decade and stick it. I was thinking about having some good old Chicago home run inn pizza to celebrate weight loss today, but changed my mind. Took out some meat and will have a healthy day today. I have to get out of that cycle of celebrating weight losses with food because if triggers binges for me. To many other times to splurge when eating out to do it just to celebrate a weight loss. It is counterproductive for me. I probably already will not hit 362 but I can get close as I can get and pizza will not help me reach that goal. I have to do some house walking, cleaning, dvd's, etc to get my step goal since working from home because of in climate weather and frigid temps coming. I am going to keep my 362 goal before me to help keep me on track while I am sequestered.

”Consistency over a day - no problem. Consistency over a week - ehh. Consistency over a month is hard. Now think about consistency over six months or a year. That takes grit, accountability and preparation.”— Author Unknown

Thanks ladies! and LOL @Thewaffle86 I posted hoping someone would be inspired :

@shunggie I'm learning a lot and eventually would like to help others reach their weight loss goals. I didn't want to, but knew I had to be brave enough to record the journey if I'm ever going to have any hope of doing that ~ pics are the proof consistency and dedication pays off ~ onwards and downwards friends

01/23. 148
01/24 146.8. Good to see a wee drop. I've been going over daily Cal's by about 60. I figure it will take me a week to adjust. Concentrating on getting the nutrients right, not so easy when daily calouries is 1200. But I'm definitely eating healthier and that's exactly what I need!
01/25 146.8. Going strong, managed to have only one chocolate almond 😃
01/26. 145.5 It's been a good day...staying strong
01/27. 145.5. Admitted to hospital.
01/28. Hospital food is yummy! Couldn't resist the desert or the extra piece of toast. How can you when it's placed in front of you.😄
01/29. 145.5. At least I didn't gain.

This is my lucky thirteenth round. The last round was good until the end...so I'm hoping for a better time this round. I may decide to reset my Mini-goals....rather than be frustrated for the next 5 months!! They looked pretty reasonable at the start of January.

Day/Weight/Comment

01/23 - 156 -- Yeah. The cake yesterday. I'm mostly in a better frame of mind today and TOM left, finally, after a two week visit!
01/24 - 154.5 -- Here we go again. Down below start weight. Now to see if I can end below start weight!
01/25 - 152.5 -- Whoosh! I feel I deserve it, but trying not to get too excited given all the ups and downs lately.
01/26 - 151.5 -- Still holding my breath. Been back on the keto train after the cake wreck....
01/27 - 151 -- Clearly something is working right...Although I guess this has happened before, with wild bounces followed by a drop, followed by more bounces. This challenge definitely helps me ride the roller coaster!
01/28 - 151.5 -- Good day yesterday, so no worries with the slight bounce up.
