02/16 - 226.12lb -happy now just got to make it stick
02/17 - 226.8lb - still holding onto 226, just 😅 got a few days to get that 0.8lb off
02/18 - 226.35lb - very happy this number is sticking around, and unlike my typical weight trend the fluctuations are only small at the moment

Day/Weight/Comment

02/12- 210.6- Typical...yesterday was a fast day, 600cals with 15,000steps X

02/13- 211.0- Yesterday finished on 11,000 steps and 1300cals in. Today is a fast day, steak, new potatoes and veg for dinner tonight 😊

02/14- 208.6- whoop smashed through my target with a week still to go, let's hope the scales don't bounce back up again. 22,000steps yesterday, 630cals eaten. My OH has brought me a new Fitbit for Valentine's Day 💕 I'm excited to try it out X

02/15- 210.8- Not atall surprised by this number, to be fair it could have been worse, I was doing well until the nighttime and then I had a few glasses of wine and then a pretty big binge, I finished on about 100cal over TDEE but was over on sodium. 8000steps yesterday. Today is the first day of half term, this morning we were up and out early over the forest and running around playing hide and seek it. I am fasting today, bolognese for dinner.

02/16- 210.4- Gave up smoking

02/17- 210.8

02/18- 211.2- Okay I'm finding it pretty hard to not over eat and not smoke, I'm really trying but yeah the last few days have not gone well on the eating front. Today is a fast day and I am going to try harder. I did get my 10,000steps yesterday atleast.

Hi, My name is Joan. This will be my first round.
Age- 60 years young.
Height-5’3 1/2”.
OW-156# - Oct 2016
Hit Maintenance goal weight -125#- June 2017.
I set a goal weight range of 125-130, for myself. My weight’s been creeping back up. Jan 2019-135. I Do Not want to regain weight lost as I have in past; because I feel SO good at lower weight!
I just can’t let that happen!
This challenge sounds like just what I need.
CW-132.4
GW for this 10 day challenge-130
2/12-131.6. First drop in 3 weeks! “Happy Dancin”
2/13-132.4; slept crappy last night. Did the Nighttime snacking thing. But not out a control. Still under my daily cal limit. Gotta stay on plan with my eating today. My weakest is when I’m very tired and not feeling well.
2/14-132.6, weighing daily is stressing me right now. Been working hard. Hope to see a better number tomorrow.
2/15-133.0– scale is making me crazy!!! Absolutely no good reason for going up! But Im determined. Im going to do a alternating daily calorie goal to hopefully break this plateau and work on getting my water in better. IF is not an option nor Keto for me. One positive, I was so ticked this morning; I did a 45 min HIIT workout before coming to work.
2/16-131.2!!!! Go figure. Still going strong. I will succeed
2/17-130.4!!!! Now , that’s a reflection of my hard work, YES!
2/18-130.4!!!! 😁

12/02 Went a little off my planned meals yesterday as went out for dinner with my lovely man, had some spicy Indian food to try and help unblock my ear, along with everything the doc has me on. Not sure exactly what impact this will have on my calorie deficit as had to guesstimate, I mostly had veggie stuff so it wouldn't have been too high and my watch also rebooted itself and wiped out an hour or twos data so my calorie adjustment is all to pot.
I did my 2nd cycle into work today, still don't trust the local traffic on the narrow streets, the streets here are still made for horses and carts going one way nevermind 2 way traffic, so walked some of it. I have pole class tonight so will have a fairly active day in all.

13/02 Finally got a drop on the scale woohoo, it's unusual for me to record the same weight day after day, my water weight normally has it up and down like a yo-yo. Aching like hell from last night's pole dance class, but have another one tomorrow so better recover sharpish. Got a reasonably quiet day activity-wise today and meals all planned for the day.

15/02 Not sure how I managed this but somehow skipped a day's info, so have corrected it now. Had a lot more food yesterday than normal so not unsurprised it's up, ate at maintenance-ish yesterday. Trendline in Libra is starting to take a downward turn again so happy enough. I have my catch up class of Pole Dancing this evening and a lot of walking expected 3km in to work/3km to pole dancing/ 3km to boyfriend's place later + the normal 3-5000 steps I normally get in over the course of the work day. My race training starts for rowing this weekend, so will probably struggle a bit with calories in the coming week, it's hard to find a balance between keeping a deficit and fueling my training to start with but I am sure it'll be easier this time around than the first time and the physical benefits of the training make a helluva a difference in my body composition, so there is also that to look forward to.

18/02 Took a maintenance days Friday and today as was experiencing some lovely PMT craving so weight is up a bit this morning. It's slightly disappointing to see the scale climb but I know it's just all the sodium and carbs I had over the weekend and the hormone bloatiness, I feel like Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters the last 2 days. I made some Mason Jar salads for the first time in ages as I've been mostly having soups for work lunches over the Winter, kind of looking forward to something different.

JGM10D ~|~ Round 68
I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!

Daily Goals .
Round 67 ~|~ End goal: <164
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-off situation when one decides to work on muscle toning. Looking forward to Round 68.

Round 68 ~|~ End goal: <164
12/02: 165.1: Gaols: ✅ Hmmmm... Still plateauing. Under calories but a relative rest day after Monday exertions.
13/02: 165.1: Goals: Do grocery shopping, gym session, 9000+ steps ✅. Didn't get to gym, but did some circuits at home. Fitting in the gym is problematic this week.
14/02: 164.6: Goals: Well, there it is again! Planning a Leslie Sansone HIIT workout before I head out this afternoon✅. Did w/o plus some flex/strength. Ate most of my exercise calories on Valentine's dinner 😂 so will definitely be holding water in the morning!
15/02: 164.9: Goals: 1 hour gym session ✅ plus some walking later on today. Got in several walks outside between meetings. I'm wondering if the gym session will lead to water retention again.
16/02: 165.2: Goals: Lots of walking playing ingress with my daughters ✅ Over 270 minutes walking, 21015 steps.
17/02: 164.9: Goals: Rest day after yesterday. ✅
18/02: 165.1: Goals:
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!

GOALS: Stretch 2x daily, and exercise 30+ minutes 6 of 7 days.

02/12 ~ 214.7 @ 4:30 am
02/13 ~ 214.4 @ 6:30 am
02/14 ~ 213.8 @ 6:00 am - pulled a muscle on Sunday, so haven't been doing much more than walking and stretching. Yet slowing things down appears to be working in my favor, lol ~ if it continues will definitely have to rethink some things. Happy Valentines ❣️
02/15 ~ DNW today. Accepted the best thick and creamy grilled cheese and tomato sandwich as a treat last night and didn't want to see it on the scale and possibly regret it, lol. Had a great night sleep, started T25 again, (although modified at about 70%), got in a good walk, some stretching and a seated abs and arm workout. Getting in a lot of movement and being mindful of food calories, but enjoying this lovely long weekend.
02/16 ~ 213.2 @ 5:00 am - Stretching, cleaning and 30 minute walk at home video already done. Attending "The February Cousins" birthday party tonight, so planning to eat light and drink plenty of water today to try and offset all the yumminess available later. Have a great day all.

02/17 ~ 218.3 @ 10:00 pm. ~ WTH?!?!?! 5lbs in 40 hours is ridiculousness. I don’t think I’ve ever gained this fast, but too late for regrets! I am however, 100% certain these food combinations will never EVER be repeated.

02/18 ~ 217.9 @ 8:30 am
