It was so nice meeting @puddlegoober last night! Thank you for coming to the motel. I should have asked last night, is it okay to post the picture?

OH! And I’m a hooker too! Hadn’t done it in a few years but working on two shawls now!

02/13 - 258.4 (-1.6)
02/14 -259.4. 💕
02/15 - 258.2(-1.8). I’m not sure why yesterday was up. I work nights and finished a stretch with very little sleep so maybe getting in a good 8 hrs helped.
02/16 - 257.4 (-2.6). I made cauliflower crust pizza last night. It was very filling , I felt for sure I would gain but love it even more now.🥰
02/17 - 256.6(-3.4). Nsv . Yesterday we celebrated hubbys birthday. He wanted Chinese he got the usual Chinese buffet I got the steamed beef and broccoli no rice. I still wanted an egg roll and crab Rangoon but stayed strong. I did have a sliver of cake my daughter made but it worked out ok. So glad I maintained strong.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/12 - 201.2 (4296 steps) Monday was a halfway decent day. No exercise. It was pouring rain so I skipped the grocery store and went to Wendy’s. Grilled Chicken sandwich and apples slices. Small bit of LNS but I was in bed early. Still pouring rain today. Hope to have the energy to grocery shop and meal prep tonight after work. Ugh!

02/13 – 202.0 (7461 steps) 34 minutes on the bike (7.03 miles) Tuesday I made it to the grocery store (both of them) and did not have any gumption to do any meal prep. It was pushing 7pm by the time that I got home. I do plan to do some tonight. Usually, once I get going, it goes pretty smoothly. I am so ready for summer and warmer temps plus being able to walk outside. This weather just makes me want to hibernate and eat! Bad combination.

2/14 – 201.4 (7072 steps) 39 minutes on the bike (8.04 miles) Wednesday I did do SOME meal prep. I did 2 meals with shrimp and couscous (those are for home b/c I don’t want to stink up the office) and 3 meals with steak, brussels sprouts, and blue cheese (2 for work and 1 for home). I still have 4 pork chops that need to be cooked and I might make some Knorr Rice Sides to pair with those. That should get me through the weekend.

02/15 - 199.4 (7069 steps) 27 minutes on the bike (5.73 miles) I had planned to do more but next thing I knew it was after 10pm. I survived the office potluck AND a surprise family dinner at Applebee’s. My goal is to attempt to see a ONE on tomorrow’s weigh-in too. I seem to see it only 1 day and then it’s gone. Small steps. My overall trend since 1/1/19 is going down. I’m happy to see that.

02/16 - 198.6 (7086 steps) Friday was a good day. Work meals were light so I was able to treat myself with Jimmy John’s. I skipped the bike and went to bed early.

02/17 - 198.7 (7553 steps) I rode 2 horses at the barn yesterday for about 1hr 15mins worth of exercise. My eating was okay until after dinner. I binged on cheese. OMG I love cheese! I was exhausted so I went to bed at 7:30. That probably saved me from really going off the deep end.

02/18 – 197.5 (2656 steps) Sunday was a VERY lazy day. My back was killing me so I spent most of the day on the couch. Luckily, I did not find myself snacking all day and stayed within my calories.

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.
9823 steps, 64 oz of water, 60 minutes on arctrainer

02/18 157.4, getting closer to that 156.x number that was my goal. I feel like I am losing motivation this week (longest I have ever tracked or exercised regularly), so just focusing on staying positive and realizing that any loss is better than none.

02/12 201.4 yay.
02/13 201 I need to get to 199 by 2/17.... If I do, I will win the challenge at my gym, and get a free month of classes, and 1/2 my money back. I am so close!! Although, I have to admit, for some reason my brain eliminated the 200 and I was thinking one more pound... but it's 2 UGH!
02/14 200.4 getting there....
02/15 200.4.... yesterday was rough... valentine's day treats, and I forgot to go to the gym... let me repeat that... I forgot to go!! I did do a little Jillian Michaels at home though...so I guess that's good.
02/16 200.8 ugh.
02/17 200.0.... I saw it... I saw the ONE.... and then it flickered away, and settled back on the TWO.... my scale is taunting me!!!!! LOL !!!

Been a year since I've last committed to this and now the weight has come back with a vengeance. Well, so have I!
Trying out some new exercises (signed up for rock climbing!) this time, hopefully everything goes smoothly. Thank you for starting this thread

Note: I weigh-in in the mornings for consistency, so my comments will be more or less about the day before. Cheers!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 -132.0 Rock climbing 2.5hr, jogging 1.5mi, small cool down core workout. Was good with calories until roommate tempted me with a homemade muffin ... it was delicious!

02/13 - 131.6 The crazy snowfall yesterday (weather warning in effect) coupled nicely with my rest day. Things outside are clearing up now and I've got no excuses on that front.
02/14 - 132.6 Whooo I blame this totally on the simply atrocious amount of snacks brought into the office today (someone got chocolates for the team!), and the fact that I had to stay in the said office until 7pm

got in a good 1.8 mi run and some core workouts though so it wasn't all too bad. Also modified the rough GW, 3 lb seem much more reasonable
02/15 - 131.8 Was feeling kinda down due to our monthly office "Mix-and-Mingle" event - ate some pretty unhealthy stuff

But what the heck, at least I didn't have any alcohol (the calories in those things!). Had a nice long 2.5hr rock climbing session, made up 2 lvl 9 climbs that I couldn't before, and killed a lvl 8 that was giving me a hard time earlier this week

. Went home and supplemented the power workout with a 2mi run and quick 10min cool down core exercise.
02/16 - [ski trip, no weigh-in]
02/17 - [ski trip, no weigh-in]
02/18 - 131.6 phew! What a trip. The hills were chunks of ice after the bouts of freezing rain we've been having, but I'm glad to have gotten in one more trip this season. Glad to be home!

Result of round 68: -X.X lbs

Jentosan · February 2019

SW: 145 //CW: 144.8 // GW: 130
Goal is to lose 1 pound a week
02/12: 144.8// Today was a lazy day, it’s snowy out and gym was closed. I played videos for the majority of my day (I think 10 hours?) It sounds bad but it kept me distracted from junk cravings I would usually have since I focused on gaming.

02/13: 144.6// Today I went to class and started my day with a shake. After class it was time for lunch so I treated myself to a cheese burger from my favorite burger place. That filled me up for pretty much the rest of the day, I ended my “dinner” with a cup of milk and a pastry. Also drank more water today too.

02/14: 144.8// Valentines! I had some French toast slam at Denny’s. I had a late start to the day so that kept me full for the majority of my day.

02/15: 144.4// I really don’t remember what I ate yesterday because I was busy cleaning around the house all day. I know I had some gold fish and that was yummy.

02/16: ???// I rushed out the house this morning cause I was running late to work and didn’t weigh myself. I’ll make sure to do that tomorrow morning though. Today’s meals have been liquids only just so I don’t fluctuate too much.

02/17: 144.4// 4 pizza slices today

02/18: 144.6// I’m starting to get the feeling I can maintain my weight better than I thought. It’s the losing part I’m struggling with

Time to drink more water! Also any advice for me??

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.
2/18 MY BIRTHDAY! * No scale! Boarding ship for 3 short back to back cruises, 11 days total. I may post tomorrow from Catalina and definitely will post when we get back to Long Beach.

Happy Birthday!. Enjoy your trip. Pictures please:)

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.
9823 steps, 64 oz of water, 60 minutes on arctrainer

02/18 157.4, getting closer to that 156.x number that was my goal. I feel like I am losing motivation this week (longest I have ever tracked or exercised regularly), so just focusing on staying positive and realizing that any loss is better than none.

Fantastic consistency logging and exercising. Motivation is rough some days, right? Keep pressing on.

I am no weight loss expert. Some things to think about.

Real whole foods may keep you feeling more satisfied than liquids.
Sounds like you are eating your maintaining calories, you may need to adjust your calories/macros to put your body in weight loss mode.
Carbs and sugars will make you crave them more. Time to clean up your diet. Check your protein vs your carb intake.

02/12: 209.2 - My son’s 6th birthday, and my 1st day on maintenance while we have a guest. Stayed under goal despite dining out for lunch and birthday cake in the evening. 🍫

02/13: 209.6 - Leftover birthday cake blew my goal out of the water. Luckily it was a small cake, so it’s gone now. It was so rich; I think I’ll be good without dessert for a WHILE! 🍫🍫

02/14: 210.6 - Not surprising, given the past two days. I need to drink more water. Went out to lunch and had a large burger, but still stayed under goal; I was too full for dinner! 🍔

02/15: 210.4 - Spent the whole afternoon at the park, including a picnic lunch. Under goal. 🌳

02/16: 209.0 - Looks like I’ve recovered from the birthday celebrations! Maybe maintenance wasn’t necessary during this visit... my appetite seems to have adjusted. 🤷🏻‍♀️

02/17: 207.8 - New low! Previously 208.4 ⭐️

02/18: 207.2 - Yay! ⭐️

02/19: 207.6 - I debated switching back to my deficit this week but I know this week will involve Dim Sum, a new Cantonese place, and a theme park sooo.... I’m gonna stick to the plan. 🎯

02/17 203.8. It’s going to be a tough one today. Taking a road trip with my daughter and there is always bad eating. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day and I need to get food for the rest of the week. I always do better during the week than on weekends.
02/18 203.4. No work today because of the holiday. I was able to stay on track with my food and got groceries for the rest of the week. I’m feeling good about the next three days for the challenge, even though I didn’t set a goal. ☺️💁‍♀️

How I spent my long weekend. (Family day here in Ontario) I have never mastered crochet - my pass time is various types of embroidery. Today I got this project up to the 2/3 mark. Only 140 more rows to go.

02/15: 191 lb. Indulged in Starbucks this morning and then had far too much cheesy pasta for lunch. Not exactly a great start, but I intend to improve.
02/16: 188.9 lb This is closer to my normal 'current weight'. I'm assuming yesterday's number was due to retaining water weight from some bad food earlier this week. Also, the fiance and I waited until today to celebrate Valentine's day - I resisted overeating movie snacks and made us a healthy steak and salad dinner. Yay!
02/17: 187.2 lb - Did a massive deep clean of my apartment today; was cleaning most of the day, so it was a nice workout. Also food prepped for the coming week - nice to see all those little meal boxes in the fridge and not have to worry about what I'm doing for breakfast or lunch the rest of the week.
02/18: 187.2 lb - no change. Also had massive junk food cravings today and let myself get way too hungry before lunch, so I ended up scarfing some chips and m&ms. I'll have to be more careful about making sure to bring a healthy morning snack.

@allmannerofthings OMG I love to cross stitch but unfortunately I think I am too ADD to stick with it long enough to finish it. I have a HUGE 23rd Psalms project I should get back out and try to work on.....again.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 68
