Short Term Goal: Lose 2 pounds this round.
First Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 180 by The end of February I hope to achieve this by losing about 1.5 pounds per week (or 2 lbs per round).

Day/Weight/Comment

02/12 …..185.4 ….. Yay me! It finally budged but I had to go to extreme measures to get a jumpstart! That was actually easy since I woke up with a bad cold & didn't feel well most of the day. Today I will get the carbs & calories back up to plan & try to keep this ball rolling, especially in light of Valentine’s day this round which will include multiple meals outside of my home and we all know how that ends with me. But I’m working on that weakness. Travel at the end of the round for some overnight medical trips will not allow me to do the last few days weigh-ins (unless weather causes me to cancel trip). This will be a tough round but I’ll do my best. My stats for yesterday: 708 Calories in / 2648 calories out. Net carbs 7. IF 16:8 A total of 19,105 steps which included a planned walk. 8.22 Total miles for the day. 13/13 fitbit step hours. I danced for 37 minutes & I walked indoors at moderate pace for 69 minutes. My sample song was “Footloose” by Kenny Loggins. A great high-paced peak song. Good Luck everyone on this round.
02/13 …..185.2….. I had to cancel an out of town Dr. Appointment today due to weather. We have gotten 11” of snow since yesterday afternoon into today. No school again for my grandkids. I wanted to pump up my calories over yesterday’s post, but it was an all day & evening phone day so I was way under on everything again but so distracted my stomach stayed satisfied. I will try to bring my calories up again today a bit. Yesterdays stats: 848 Calories In / 2454 Calories out. 11 Net Carbs which was mainly my Cauliflower Rice casserole. 14,440 steps & 6.11 Total miles. I spent a bit of time briskly walking up & down long hallway (on purpose) during some of the calls to get my steps in. IF: 17:7 I completed 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours and 11 minutes which was very refreshing. I walked 50 minutes & danced 44 minutes. Sample song was “Lighthouse” by Ziggy Marley.
02/14 …..185.4….. Plans for today: Valentines Day luncheon with Friends followed later at night with Pool Hall Potluck featuring special V-Day desserts. Wish me luck! Food…Food…Food… A slight blip up in weight on scale. I’m not sure why because yesterday was a good day & I stuck to plan. I managed to slightly increase my calories because they had been running too low. No as much exercise but still got a bit of planned movement in. Slept well. However, water intake was low which usually happens when I’m so busy. Stats: 1061 Calories In / 2492 Calories Out. 16 Net Carbs which was mainly Keto friendly Jalapeno Poppers to help me pump up my calories. 13,144 Total Steps & 5.58 Total Miles. IF: 16:8. I completed 13/13 fitbit step hous. I slept 5 hours & 41 minutes. I walked indoors for 20 minutes & danced for 22 minutes. Sample song was “Last Kiss” by Pearl Jam . (The remake of the oldie). I’m planning a fun day & night. Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!
02/15 ….. 189.0….. Whaaaat????? Yes, I doublechecked it. I had two different food fests yesterday. I ate very lightly & wisely during the afternoon luncheon with friends. At the Valentine’s Potluck last night I know I ate over calories & carbs. Too confusing to count. But 3.6 lbs overnight? Hopefully some of it is water so I will work on that today. Calories Out 2344. 10,513 total steps & 4.48 total miles. I did not IF due to afternoon luncheon. I completed 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours & 15 minutes. No time for the dancing yesterday, but I did walk moderate pace outside in the freezing cold for a planned walk which was 41 minutes. Back to losing the same pounds again! I hate the way carbs work in my body so I am only too happy to be back on plan today. I hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday & will enjoy their weekend.
02/16 …..189.0….. I still deserve this. Shame on me! Over on calories & carbs again yesterday on an “at home binge”. Likely from the hunger caused by the carbs from V-Day (the day before). Disappointed in self. Hard to count the foods but I know the carbs were well over 100 & the calories were likely over 2000. My best guess is that I stayed within CICO but nowhere near my plan. My calories out were 2394. 10,164 Total Steps & 4.3 Miles. 13/13 fitbit step hours. IF 17:7. I slept 6.39 hours which was likely a sugar crash since I rarely sleep more than 5 hours. I woke up very tired & groggy, feeling like I needed even more sleep. It feels like it’s going to be a miserable day which I have only caused for myself. The junk I ate does not make me feel good. I did get in 25 minutes of aerobic dancing. Sample song “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees which had the perfect beat. Tonight is movie night. A friend is bringing over “Aquaman” which I have not seen yet. I’m a big Superhero fan so this will be good. I will not be eating the popcorn or ice cream sundaes.
02/17 …..189.0….. Thank goodness it didn’t go up. An unplanned out-of-town shopping trip found me eating my dinner at a restaurant. I could have made a bit better choices. Movie night found me eating some ice cream afterall. Not as much as the others, but I broke my promise to myself. I hope all this does not end up showing up on the scale. Lots of work, as usual, on Sundays so I will be getting lots of steps in. Yesterday stats are too few to figure (again) but best guess is calories around 2000 and carbs over 200 (darn ice cream). Calories out 2248. 10,548 steps & 4.4 miles. Completed 09/13 fitbit step hours due to car rides & movie. IF 16:8. Slept 6 hours & 4 minutes, probably a sugar crash as this is way longer than my usual amount. I did fit in a dance yesterday afternoon for 22 minutes. Sample song “Respect” by Aretha Franklin. I hope today to be a better day. Eating carbs creates an uphill battle for days following so I shall bare that burden today.

02/11 141.2

02/12 143.4 I was really good last night but I did have a lot of salty food and I was feeling bloated today so this could be a combination of both. Just a fluctuation or else I don't know what I might have done wrong to earn this gain. I stayed under calories, worked out and drank 1.6 liters of water. 19,000+ steps. The past couple of rounds I haven't been coming to the group as often, although still weighing in every day but I want to make this group apart of my priority..it took so long to read the last thread and get caught up on all your progresses but I did it!

02/13 142.2 came down a little. Ate good, exercised and drank 1.3 liters of water, 8,000+ steps

02/14 141 I'M happy about this drop, super excited to keep going. Yesterday I ate under Calories, exercised and drank 1.3 liters of water and 6,000+ steps. 6th day sticking to healthy eating and watching my calories. I am dedicated to keep this up and keep going for the duration of the 10 days. No bad days this time around. Restart button is so far working good.

02/15 140.2 cheers to a steady drop! I did good yesterday, even for Valentine's day. I made my man peanut butter cups and mint thins (from scratch) since they are his favorite. While doing this, i licked no spoons and kept my hands to myself, except when they went for Apple slices I had prepared before baking to stop me from snacking. Although by the end of the night i had indulged in couple of small cookies here and a peanut butter cup there (you have to taste to be sure it's good, right?) I stopped and didn't over indulge on the treats, keeping under my calorie goal. I also opted in a vegetable plate rather then the burgers and fries I made him. Overall a nice night. Worked out good and greatful it wasn't worse then it could have been

02/16 138.4 a woooosh, i am in the 30s!!!! Yay me!!! I am trying to not get too excited, i just want to see this number for a couple more days before I get excited...be sure it is here for good. I am hoping to have a good weekend because Monday is a holiday here in Ontario, called family day and my whole family is getting together for a brunch. I want to still be good during the brunch but just in case I have few choices, food wise then at least I will only be giving up a day in stead of two. I am still determined to be good for the whole 10 days but we will see, i can only deal with what i have been given. Yesterday I had a rest day exercise wise, did a little over 1 liter of water but ate under Calories. My NSV, I was craving chocolate for four hours yesterday but stayed away...yay me!

02/17 137.4 woooooow!!!! I can't believe it!!! I am now officially 40 + pounds down (although MFP thinks I will hit my 40 pounds in .4 pounds pfffft) THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!! I am hoping to push a little more before the inevitable stop. Soooooo excited. Yesterday I exercised good, ate under Calories and drank 1+ liters of water...hoping I can keep the momentum going

Round 65 SW 164.1 EW 162.3 (- 1.8)
Round 66 SW 162.6 EW 160.6 (- 2.0)
Round 67 SW 160.8 EW 158.4 (-2.4)

Goals for Round 68
End with a 156.x number to be on track for 155 by the end of the month.
Basic Strength class 1x a week
Drink at least 64 oz of water a day
Walk 100,000 steps during the challenge

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 159, not a great start to Round 68. I think my salt intake over the past few days caught up with me. Today is another day so I am not going to be too discouraged. I ordered Plated for this week and the calories count are really high, especially for my height and intake. I made their Steak Quesadilla yesterday and the serving size was 960 calories. I cut my portion in half so calories were within the 1360 I could eat, but I was still very hungry. I order from meal subsciptions around once every month, but took January and December off because of the holidays, so this was the first time I have cooked with them on a diet.
45 minutes of exercise, 11,771 steps, 64 oz of water

02/13 158, good drop after eating well yesterday. It's raining heavily today so hoping to make it to gym after work. Officially no longer obese, just overweight so pretty happy to see 158. My next mini goal is 157.6 (15 lbs down) and hope to get there soon!
45 minutes of exercise, 7386 steps, 76 oz of water

02/14 158.5 up a bit, but ate really well yesterday so just will trust the process and see where the scale goes this round. It rained heavily yesterday and it looks like the rain will continue to Friday. I am hoping to get at least 5000 steps in so that I can make up the difference later in the round. Most of my steps involve walking outdoors and running errands, so the rain hinders that ability.
45 minutes of exercise, 10,168 steps, 64 oz of water

02/15 157.4, new low and 15.2 lbs lost. I know tomorrow I will be up a bit since it has been a back and forth round, but still proud of an overall downward trend.
45 minutes of exercise, 7348 steps, didn’t track but probably around 35 oz of water

02/16 158.2, expected this number with the way the round is going and it seems like splurge days or carb heavy days show up a couple of days after. I ate well yesterday, but didn’t get to my steps or water goals (drank a lot of diet soda and coffee). I will drink a lot of water today to compensate for yesterday
60 minutes of strength step class, 15,672 steps, 72 oz of water

02/17 157.8, I went out for sushi last night and think I ate ok. I had two spicy tuna rolls and a side salad, but that was my lunch and dinner. I still feel very thirsty so there must have been a lot of salt or I am just more thirsty around my period (which starts on Wednesday). I’m going to track my period on Fitbit this month and it will start giving trends after 2 cycles.

My main goal during this challenge is to get in the 100’s!!!

SW for round: 201.6lbs
GW for round: 199.8lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 -201.6 (I feel very sore today after my workout last night. I lost a lot of weight in one day after drinking tons of water after the weekend!)
02/13 - 200.4 (Last night I did a 30 minute elliptical workout and ate some yummy pot roast with lots of veggies and some potatoes. I needed some comfort food last night

)
02/14 - 200.4 (I had some Olive Garden minestrone and salad last night for a very low calorie meal. Everyone else was having 1000 calorie pasta around me and they all asked if that's all I'm going to eat!! haha I did a very light 15 minute upper body workout last night too! We'll see what happens tomorrow with me eating a little bit more than usual and my day off from working out will be today)
02/15 - 200.8 (I went 1300 over my allotted calories today!

I was completely shocked at the weight this morning. I thought for sure I was going to be 5 pounds overweight this morning from the 5 pizza slices, 3 breadsticks, soda and 3 chocolate covered strawberries I had haha. I'm only going to be over by 800 calories for the entire week so instead of a 1.5 wk loss it'll be like 1.2 instead or so...I'll take that haha. Back on the grind!)
02/16 - 200.4 (I have no idea how this happened with all the bloating I’ve been feeling! I’ll take it haha)
02/17 - 201.4 (friends came in from Miami and we went out to dinner last night. I stayed within plan and had only 1 drink. I usually gain from the food I eat on the weekend and my lowest weight is traditionally Friday. We’ll see how it goes today with a party I’m going to right now.)

Day/Weight/Comment

02/12--212.7 Tried to go out for a run yesterday, but heavy wet snow started before I could get out. Raining today, so may try again later.
02/13--212.9 Haven't run since Saturday, ugh!
02/14--212.3 First weight training session with my trainer is this evening. My trainer has already sent me what we would be doing this evening and I noticed that there are a lot of exercises and while most of the exercises are familiar to me, there are some exercise I have never heard of. Weather is starting to warm up a little and the snow/ice is starting to melt, so hopefully I can get out running some time this weekend.
02/15--212.5 I had my first training session yesterday and it was great. Having a trainer is a kind of weird experience because you have this person constantly watching you to make sure you have proper form. After just the first session I realize that my form on some exercises is not as great as I thought it was and I can be pretty lazy, there were some exercises that we did that I knew if he wasn't there I would not have done that many reps. At the same time the training session also made me realize that if I just push myself a little I can do a lot of things that I thought I couldn't do. I was thinking of going for a run today, but I think I will take the extra time off to recover from yesterday.
02/16--213.1 I'm not surprised about the increase on the scale since I am probably still retaining water from my weight training from 2 days ago, but my weight trend is still downward. Going for a run today.
02/17--213.1 Finished W5D1 yesterday. I hadn't run in a week and wasn't sure if I should continue on with the training progression or if I should redo the previous week. Well, I decided to just continue on and if I wasn't feeling great then I would just reduce the amount of running. Well, I finished the first running interval and felt great, so I continued on and was able to finish without any problems. Today is a rest day, but I want to make sure that I do some stretching and foam rolling.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Round 68
2/11 129.0
——————
2/12 130.0 I don’t know why I just wanted to eat all day yesterday. Hoping this is mostly due to salt from pizza in a bowl. Time to rein it in.
2/13 129.5
2/14 129.0 HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! Going to craft with my friend Amy.
2/15 128.5
2/16 129.0 Eating all of the leftovers in preparation for our trip! Odd combinations and not enough water. Greek salad today so leftover will be lunch before we go to the airport tomorrow. I’m so excited to meet puddlegoober!
2/17 130.5 Up too early. Not enough water yesterday. Flying to Long Beach today. Cruising starts tomorrow.

I really really want to lose a lot of this weight before April 2019 as I want to wow everyone when I cross the stage to pick up my MSc! :-)

R68 SW 100.4 GW 99.0

Took a break due to mental health…. Now back up past my starting weight! I have also developed high blood pressure so for the sake of my own health I need to do this.... plus I don't want my kids growing up without me there!

Currently doing a “100 miles in February” challenge for charity too, so I'm running 4km every morning and 10km on Saturday and Sunday!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/12- 100.4 so embarrassed about how much weight I put on… doctors was a real wake up call, showed me the excess is doing more that just stretching my clothes!
2/13- 99.9 didn't eat very well yesterday and took a rest from running too!
2/14- 99.7 doing well but I know it's just the Tom water weight coming off!
2/15- 99.0 Well this is a nice drop! Had a lovely run this morning, getting faster every day! Slightly concerned about the weekend as I'm bringing my son to a fortnite thing and I've promised him five guys for lunch afterwards… I'll have to be on my best behaviour...
2/16- 99.2 knew there’d be a bounce back but still happy! Think today is a day off running as I'm out with my son but I'll see if I can squeeze an hour in later!
2/17- 99.5 That's the pizza and chips from last night! But I've a long run planned today so I'm not overly concerned!

Round 65 EW 151.3 (-3.7)
Round 66 EW 149.9 (-1.4)
Round 67 EW 149.0 (-0.9)

My weight loss has decelerated, and it going to be a long push though these next ten pounds, I imagine.

2/12 147.6 I expect this to go up slightly tomorrow, didn't eat nearly enough yesterday and went to bed super early. But, it's a new number on the scale! My goal for today is to hit my protein goal. I have my first jiu-jitsu competition on Saturday, I'm super nervous, and I need to eat well leading up to it so I don't die.
2/13 146.7 I hit my protein goal yesterday (small victories) and worked out twice. My first jiu jitsu competition is coming up on Saturday. It is very small and only three women in my bracket. But still feel nervous. I'm going out to lunch to celebrate the anniversary of my first date with my husband. Need a strategy because I don't feel good about a "cheat" day right now.
2/14 146.7 Anniversary lunch yesterday went well. I ate only half of the pasta I ordered (puttanesca sauce, so on the healthier side) and a glass of wine. I can't believe there are only two days left before I compete on Saturday. Super nervous. Like, really really nervous. I am not an athlete. I was never an athlete. I excelled in participation ribbons.
2/15 147.6 got a little behind with checking in here. Friday was a terrible eating day. Ate way too much sugar and felt awful as a direct consequence. It was a rest day due to my jiu-jitsu tournament on Saturday, so I didn't even really have much activity to offset.
2/16 147.9 result of above. Ha.
2/17 147.2 so, yesterday went really well and was so much fun. I was in a bracket with just three women and came in 2nd place. Lost my first fight (arm barred) and won my second fight by submission (key locked her). I ate healthy, but likely ate too much. It is hard to log my meals from yesterday because I ate out for all of them. I tried my best, but am likely way under estimating calories. Restaurants were of the California healthy variety. Feel good today and need to grocery shop so I can meal. Prep.

GOALS THIS ROUND (reporting on all the "yesterdays":

under calorie goal 9/10 days: 6/10 so far
over 8K steps 9/10 days: 5/10 so far
three strength workouts: 1/3 so far
four cardio workouts: 2/4 so far

2/11 for continuity - 135.4
2/12 - 132.6 - under calories yesterday. Whew, it was food and water I was carrying lol! Was not feeling well yesterday so light on steps.
2/13 - 132.4 - way under calories yesterday, my fitbit didn't sync till the last minute! Yesterday 10K steps and a 25 minute video workout: heart rate was high and muscles are sore, so I can't decide if it was cardio or strength

2/14 - 133.2 - bounce expected. Under calorie goal, 8K steps.
2/15 - 133.4 - under calorie goal yesterday, 11K steps, and I RAN 2.5 MILES. With the dog in the rain.
2/16 - 132.6 - under calorie goal and 10K steps. Got to get with my plan about actual workouts though! Still, super happy about how my mini goals for this round are motivating me to do that little bit extra.

2/17 - 133.2 - yesterday under calorie goal, 11K steps, 30 minute rowing workout.
