Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 184. 8 This is exciting! starting off strong! finally a whoosh!

02/03 183.8 The whoosh continues! I stayed on point this weekend. did have drinks friday and saturday, but my goal is to have 5 AF days so I'm on track with that as well.

02/04 185.6 bouncy scale. Not sure why! but the trend line is still going down so hopefully I can get rid of it soon.

02/05 183.6 bounce back, I guess! I like this better. Maybe it can stick this time.!
I worked out for the first time with my PT yesterday. I have been lifting weights and gym for many years without getting the results I want, so I decided to get some outside motivation. She corrected my form a bit on bench press, which is exactly what I"m looking for, so great day all around.

02/06 186.0 this seems like a crazy number but what can you do? I slept with my rings on and I could tell when I woke up that my hands were swollen, so obviously this is water weight but it seems a bit extreme...

02/07 184.4 Haha, who knows what the scale will do tomorrow? I've been staying on plan all week and getting a lot of exercise so I am feeling pretty good either way. Fingers crossed for a good loss or at least continuing downward.

02/08 183.0 down again!
02/09 183.6 Up again!
02/10 184.2 no, wrong way...
02/11 184.2 well I really thought I was going to make it to my goal this round, but just a bit shy. On to the next!

36y 5'6"
SW = 160
CW = 149.9 (-10.1)
RGW = 148
UGW = 135

Round 64 EW 155.0 (-5.0)
Round 65 EW 151.3 (-3.7)
Round 66 EW 149.9 (-1.4)

02/02 149.7 yesterday was a good day. I'm nervous about tomorrow. I have two food centered event today, including a chocolate chip cookie bake off and a dumpling party. Lord, give me strength.
02/03 149.6 lesson for the day... When you don't get a lot of calories allotted for each day (1200), eating a cookie eats up like a quarter of your calories. That's insane. And leaves you feeling pretty hungry, since a cookie does not satiate. It was really hard not to over eat yesterday. I made it, and the scale obviously forgave me for the cookie bake off I attended, but really hard. What are people's strategies for making it through today? (those of you watching that sports thing going on).
02/04 150.4 eek. I ate at or pretty close to at my target calories, but salt got me and the two drinks I had when I've been dry for the part month. Super bowl partial sabotage. Actually, not that bad. I still feel good, and I did an hour of yoga this morning.
02/05 149.8 doing all the right things, so I'll have faith that, in the long run, I'll break though this little one pound yo yo thing.
02/06 149.8 sigh. It's not possible that I can be eating a maintenance amount of calories. I hope I break this plateau soon.
02/07 149.0 ¡por fin!
02/08 148.7 I had a really good day yesterday. Two workouts. Ate tons of protein. Some really nice conversations with friends. But, best of all, the better eating has improved my energy levels. I usual spend the afternoon exhausted and ready to fall asleep by four. That's not been happening recently.
02/09 148.3 So, scale is not reflective of the quality of my eating yesterday. I had a school even for which I baked/catered and did some new things, so I felt like I hat to try my new creations (orange cardamom chocolate chip muffins and Japanese milk bread cinnamon rolls). The sugar hit me hard in the afternoon and I ended up needing a nap around five. I tried to make up for it by going to jiu-jitsu this morning. On the plus side...
I logged everything and I still stayed within my calorie goals. Salad and a lot of chicken breast to balance all those simple carbs.
02/10 148.3 Ate fine, not great. Worked out really hard at jiu jitsu in the morning. So, so, so sore. If I ever come into money, I'm going to hire a live in massage therapist.
02/11 149 I'm fine with this I've been doing all the right things and logging, so, slow and steady.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/02 = N/A
02/03 = N/A

02/04 = (no weigh-in) So I've had a funky last few months. I started a new job 2.5 months ago (good thing, but stressful). I got some bad news about the osteoarthritis in my reconstructed right knee. My wife and I are trying to have a baby. We're also trying to buy a house. I've been in the throes of my sugar addiction, I haven't been exercising at all, and I've gained back just about everything I lost last year. I've been trying to get myself back to a "healthy" state of mind for a while now, but I've been feeling guilty and stupid for leaving this community in the first place. Rather than "pick up where I left off," I'm going to start over (no posting my history). We'll see how it goes, as I can always look it up later if I really want to. The bottom line is, coming here and posting every morning really worked for me before. Having your support really worked for me.

I'm trying really hard to be kind and forgiving to myself. I'm really angry that I let things go as far as I think they have. I'm really going to try to stay around for a while, 10 days at a time, just like I did before. I'll weigh-in tomorrow morning to see where I'm at. Thanks in advance for letting me hang around.

02/05 = 221.8 (-0.2), BF% =18.7 (no change). First weigh-in and post in a long time. I was under calories yesterday and on point in macros. No sweets. So far, so good.

02/06 = 218.2 (-3.6), BF% = 18.3 (-0.4). Didn't take long for that first WHOOSH. I was under calories yesterday, even if I didn't hit my macros exactly the way I wanted to. It feels good to be back. I had a "chubby" coworker mention today that we have the exact same belly. I was both "thrown off" by the comment, and frustrated at the same time. It figures that someone would notice me being chubby the moment I get back into health and fitness. Rather than being angry with the universe, I'll acknowledge that I'm listening to what the universe has to say. I have to say, being back in this challenge feels pretty natural. I'm going to have to spend some time figuring out exactly why I left in the first place...

02/07 = 216.2 (-2.0), BF%.= 18.1 (-0.2). Another decent day eating. I'm generally sticking to keto, and I'm getting under my calorie goal every day. Keto is a definite quick start/boost for my weight loss, and I'm okay with that. I've really wanted this for a long time. So glad to be back!

02/08 = 214.6 (-1.6), BF% = 17.9 (-0.2). I forgot how fast weight drops off in the first week of keto. Not complaining! Truth is, I'm only half-@$$ing it (the keto part). I do lots of avoiding (no sugar, no rice, no pasta, [usually] no bread), but at this point I'm really focusing on portion control (until I can get myself fully back in to food-prepping, which is hard). So far, so good! Waiting for my first "bump" in the road, which will inevitably come... it has to. Preparing myself for it. It's not a bad thing, it's just part of the journey. It will always be there. Until then, however, I'm going to enjoy my "fun" streak (7.4 lbs in 4 days), and see how long I can keep it going.

02/09 = 215.2 (+0.6), BF% = 18.0 (+0.1). I was out for dinner with wife at brother-in-law's, and I did pretty well. He's pushy though. I had one more drink than I wanted, and a SMALL dessert that I didn't want either. I'm okay with where I'm at today. Going to a baby shower lunch in a bit. No idea what for will be like. Going to try to be mindful, and I'm going to track everything. Wish me luck!

02/10 = 217 (+1.6), BF% = 18.2 (+0.2). The food at the baby shower was off the hook! I was keto all the way, but volume was a bit of an issue. Two glasses of Cab Sauv. Dinner was another story. Had a burger and a half at my favorite spot, plus 3-4 onion rings. Could have been worse? Stayed 100% away from sweets. Small victories! that being said, still doing pretty well for the week. Going to try to finish strong today.

02/11 = 217 (no change), BF% = 18.2 (no change). Had dinner at parents', which involved a couple of drinks and a TINY bit of dessert. I'm happy enough with where I'm at for the challenge. ON TO THE NEXT! (Sorry about posting late)

R67 SW = 222.0, EW = 217.0 (-5.0), AW = 217.8
R67 SBF% = 18.7, EBF% = 18.2 (-0.5), ABF% = 18.3

Averages:
R64 = 62.33kg (137.41) H=62.60 L = 61.95
R65 = 61.62kg (135.85) H=62.05 L = 61.30
R66 = 61.4kg (135.36) H=62.35 L = 60.95

02/02- 60.90
02/03- 61.15
02/04- 61.10
02/05- 61.30 - mindlessly ate ice cream last night. So heading for more increase...
02/06- 61.60 ....Thanks Ben and Jerry 🙄
02/07- 61.95 need to refocus!
02/08- 61.65 - all week I've over-eaten sugar. The table of temptation at work has been bursting with cakes and I've indulged! I think it has been made worse by not enough sleep! 4 days off now so time to get back on track before the end of this round.
02/09- 61.60 - no snacking in the evening but had lots during the day
02/10- 61.45 - slowly heading back to where I was last round. Resolution for next week - back to the running, weights & yoga. This week I just did step and netball.
02/11- 61.60....whoops....discipline is what I need.
02/12- 61.9 - yesterday I was disciplined for about an hour after writing the post and it went down hill fast! More discipline in the next round

@Winner_in_life-

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 66
I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!
Previous 5 rounds

Daily Goals .
Round 66 ~|~ End Goal: < 165
01/01: 165.1: Goals ✅ Almost made it! Lol!

Round 67 ~|~ End goal: <164
02/02: 164.6: Goals Now why couldn't that have happened yesterday? Lol! Spent 4 hours walking round Belfast City with my daughters. Some offbeat food choices, but well under goal. Mostly water weight, I think.
03/02: 164.8: Goals ✅ Family visits today. Didn't over-indulge. Took it easy exercise wise.
04/02: 164.9: Goals ✅ I had meetings before/after lunch, but was able to fit in some exercise. Walked my steps up after dinner.
05/02: 164.8: Goals ✅ I had meeting in the morning and evening. Felt a bit bleaugh! In the afternoon and took it easy, then Will Power decided to desert me after dinner, and because I had spare calories, I ate a few snacks when I was out and before bed. It will have consequences, but the beauty of life is that we get a fresh start every single day.
06/02: 164.9: Goals: ✅ Planning to walk and go to the gym later. (I walked over an hour at the mall + some more later on the treadmill at gym, also did stationary bike and weights circuit.)
07/02: 164.9: Goals: I have a dance class this morning, and planning a arms session later. ✅All in all, a good day. Our daughter came for dinner, but she's doing Slimming World, so there were no temptations.
08/02: 164:8: Goals: ✅ *sigh* Plateaux are the pits! But they are a part of the process which we have to accept. This, too, shall pass! Noticed this morning that my muscle mass has increased from 27.2 to 27.4 which could explain this plateau. Had an busy day, but stayed up way too late.
09/02: 164.9: Goals: Gym session with my PT this afternoon. ✅ Also did a shedload more exercise for a challenge, so expecting a little rise as body retains water for muscle repair.
10/02: 165.0: Goals: Planning a rest day today after my exertions yesterday. NSV: I did measurements today and waist and underbust are both down an inch since I last measured in Nov. Legs/arms look more toned, but no reduction in size. So gym training seems to be paying off. ✅ I had a more active day than anticipated because of a challenge)
11/02: 165.0: Goals: Gentle exercise after my intense 2 days of strength.

Not sure if the stall/increase is because of weekend food choices, increased strength training, or both. It's sometimes a trade-of situation when one decides to work on muscle toning. Looking forward to Round 68.

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!
