JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 68

End of Round 67 - 321.4 (-7.4 lbs)

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 - 322.6 - Eh. It's a fluctuation most likely from water. I don't mind it as long as it doesn't become a trend. I'm trying a new worksheet that my dietitian gave me to go off of for this week and see how it goes. It is designed to maximize my nutrition or my calorie intake. Overall I am feeling stronger, better, and more energized. I'm good and for the first time in a long time I can say that and mean it.
02/13 - 322.0 - So, yesterday was a rough day. I had a binge, small, but a binge and I was fine until I saw the numbers, then I wanted to purge. I cried and just saw myself ballooning to 600 lbs and more. Ed was screaming in my head to purge, purge, PURGE. Instead I spent the day doing self-care. I ditched the exercise as I couldn't trust myself to not take it to an extreme, so I rested. I hooked (crocheted) and made progress on my heart scarf that I am making just for me. I decluttered my tables in my living/dining/exercise area. I spent time snuggling with Alex the Mighty (see profile picture). I watched shows that I enjoyed on Hulu. I went to bed at a decent hour.
02/14 - 322.4 - TOM hit! 2 weeks late, but finally hit. This isn't that uncommon with PCOS. Feeling bloated and kinda blah today. I worked really hard in pulmonary rehabilitation today. I have three more sessions and then I'm done. I will graduate into my insurance's program for health in a gym. I get to choose between Planet Fitness and the YMCA. YMCA is within walking distance and Planet Fitness is just a short hop away on the bus. So, not sure which one I'll go with. I'm nervous about today. I'm going to a potluck and going to try and not freak out if I eat more than I should. So, yeah.
02/15 - 323.8 - Well, I guess the potluck got to me. I did overeat. I have no idea the total ingredients. I thought I did okay. Also with TOM no idea where my weight will finally end up being. My official weigh-in is coming up. If it is a gain, it's a gain. I'm not thrilled with the idea, but I'm getting comfortable with being okay with it. It is a part of life and my choices. I had an emotional moment this morning and had more milk than the dietitian has allotted for me to have according to this worksheet. It's lunch time, and I am going to have a nice, savory salad with grilled chicken. Life will be just as okay with gains as with losses.
02/16 - 320.4 - WHOOOOSH! Well tomorrow is my official weigh-in. I wasn't expecting this loss. We'll see what tomorrow says. I ate well yesterday. I hit most of my protein goals. That is my weak spot in my diet is hitting my protein. I can get the others just fine. I need to find ways to incorporate more protein in. I also did two episodes of Zombies, Run which was fantastic! I wasn't feeling beat down by the end of each episode, but pretty good. I'm getting stronger each day. I might try to do two again today and some strength training.
02/17 - 319.6 - Yay! I mostly stuck to the dietitian's guidelines yesterday. I had more dairy than is on the sheet. I'm doing better with finding protein choice; so that was higher yesterday. I did two episodes of Zombies, Run! yesterday. It's definitely got my attention at this point in season; it's been interesting since the first episode but lately, just wow. I may end up doing a couple of them again today to find out what's going on next. I had to do them in my apartment as there was people in the community room; so my cat spazzed and started to dart about the apartment. It was cuter and hysterical at the same time.
02/18 - 317.4 - WHOOSH! I was still over on dairy yesterday, but for the first time I hit my protein goal. I should be able to repeat that again today. I did another episode of Zombies, Run! I got my water back in order. I have a couple of appointments this afternoon, one with my psychiatrist and one with my therapist. I need to clean on the apartment a bit. I feel good today.
02/19 - My therapist and I talked about the thing of numbers and my eating disorder yesterday. I am not giving up the scale completely; however, she does want me to give it up completely feeling that it is very triggering if it doesn't say what I want it to say. To her it just hasn't let me down big enough yet to cause an issue, yet. I have agreed to reduce how often I weigh. So, I will weigh for now, three times a week, Sunday, Tuesday, Friday. So, no weigh in today, will weigh in tomorrow.
Yesterday I did okay with food and had a little treat even and stayed within in my calories ( this will also change on being tracked, if possible). I did good with protein again, which I'm super happy about as it really is the weak spot in my nutrition.
*EDITED TO ADD* I just realized it IS Tuesday. It's too late in the day to get an accurate weight. I'll weigh-in tomorrow.
02/20 - 317.2 - Woohoo. Still moving down, bit by bit. As this is my last weigh-in I have lost 4.2 pounds this round. Not bad. I'm getting the urge to go ahead and weigh in one more day tomorrow just to even it out, but I won't. I'm going to stay strong and dedicate myself to ALL the goals that are geared at my total health. There's no point in losing weight if my mental health suffers.

Round 68:

5’7, female, 39 years old
SW: 210.8
GW: 140ish

R67: SW 193.6 GW 191.8

2/12: 19x.x - Didn’t weigh today. Missed you all! Dropped off at the end of last round. Was out of town and flights were cancelled coming home. Back again - ready to get back to my health routine. Hope I didn’t gain too much while away - I made healthy food choices, and didn’t have more than 2 drinks a day, but didn’t track at all!

2/13: 19x.x - Forgot to weigh again 😩 Still stuck in the snow. Not meeting my goals. I am getting back to it tomorrow! Gah! Scared to step back on the scale.

2/14: 193.6 - Phew! Was so nervous about weighing after the last week. It could be worse, and I know I am retaining a lot of water right now from TOM. Maybe I actually lost weight on my trip 😱.

2/15: 191.2 - Happy dance! I am now in the “overweight” BMI and not “obese class 1.” Kids go back to school today, husband comes home from work trip, gym here I come!

2/16: 190.6 - I have now lost 20lbs. Only 50 (+/-5) to go! I keep a list of different types of milestones and it’s really motivating to cross them off as I go. Crossing 2 off 2 days in a row feels unreal.

2/17: 189.4 - New decade! I hope to never see the 190s again

2/18: 189.6 - Too much salt, not enough movement. Glad it’s the start of a new week - easier to stay on routine on weekdays.

2/19: DNW - The day before was a good day, stayed on track

2/21: 188.8 - Busy day yesterday with the kiddos yesterday, stayed on track for evening

2/22:

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202
Next Goal - 170 I will get there, hopefully soon
Goal Weight July 2019 - 140

Round 60 - SW - 178.8 - EW - 180.0 - Average weight over 10 Days - 179.3
Round 61 - SW - 178.6 - EW - 178.2 - Average weight over 10 days - 178.5
Round 62 - SW - 179.0 - EW - 178.0 - Average weight over 10 days - 178.8
Round 63 - SW - 178 - EW - 180.0 - Average weight over 10 Days - 180.0
Round 64 - SW - 181.2 - EW - 180.2 Average weight over 10 Days - 181.3

Round 66 - SW - 179.0 - EW - 180.4 Average weight over 10 Days - 179.1
Round 67 - SW - 179.8 - EW - 179.1 Average weight over 10 days - 179.1

Feb 12 - 178.8 same average weight as last round so at least I maintained.
Feb 13 - 178.2 - I cant mess this up this time, I have to keep moving down.
Feb 14 - 178.0 - I think I can, I think I can
Feb 15 - 177.6 - I can do it!
Feb 16 - 178.4 - ugh
Feb 17 - 179.2. - not a good day yesterday, too tired.
Feb 18 - 179.2 -
Feb 19 - 178.4 - much better day yesterday
Feb 20 - 177.4. - hmmm

2/20- dnw my youngest turns 3 today but just like his 1st and 2nd birthdays he is unwell! Poor thing was up half the night with croup! This meant I was up until 2 and then up at 6 as his brother was up and wanted to do cake and presents! So with all that going on I just didn't have a chance to step on the scales! Off out for a run when husband gets home from work, food going well, haven't even eaten any of the birthday cake! So I'm hoping yesterday's number sticks!

Sending hugs! I HATE croup. It's awful! Hope your little one is feeling better soon and you all get a better night's rest tonight x

28th Round for me: Female 65, height 5’
Goal this round, starting Feb 12/19: To get out of the 160’s or at least consistently not above 160. Right now even ½ lb. per round would seem great. Round 68 – 162.6

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 – 162 – There goes the bloat of the last few days, yay. Did not go to the gym but made it through the day OK yesterday. Draggy again today but don’t have to go anywhere except drive DH to work.
02/13 – 161.8 – No gym today as still feeling off, although much better. Will get my exercise shoveling out the car so I can go pick up DH. Glad our driveway is short.
02/14 – 162 – DH brought home chocolate. My cals. were low for the day (at that point) and did not eat it all so was only a tiny bit over.
02/15 – 162.2 – Feeling back to normal. Caved and bought some fancy ice cream yesterday which made DH happy. I had ½ cup which I can manage and keep within cals. The trouble is the cravings that starts – maybe I should do a “test” and see how many days it takes of not caving till the craving goes away, lol?
02/16 – 163.4 – Well, there’s the chocolate and ice cream. At least I have 6 days to beat it back down.
02/17 – 163.4
02/18 – 162.8 – Off to the gym today. Seems like forever since I’ve been there.
02/19 – 162.2 – Good workout yesterday. Just did my usual but have some sore muscles today – shows what a 1 ½ weeks of no exercise can do. Just feel so much better.
02/20 – 162.4 – Gym again today, up early to take DH to work so I’d have the car. Managed more movement at home yesterday. It’s odd but the more I move, the less poor food choices tempt me.

Round 67 SW- 206.2 EW- 204.7 (-1.5 lb)
SW for round: 204.7 lbs
GW for round: 202.7 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12: 204.7 Having one of those days that I want to eat a *lot*. Which means I’m not hungry but want to keep eating. But I’m fighting it and so far so good. Thankfully this doesn’t happen often.

02/13: 203.7 Back on track today. I’m 10 lbs down from my original start weight. Yay!

02/14: 203.7 Thank goodness cravings are gone. I’m happily skipping the candy this year. We had some at work and I was able to say no.

02/15: 203.0. Feeling good. Going to have some temptations tomorrow since we are going to visit relatives out of town. I’m just going to plan for a little extra calories and get right back to my healthy WOE the next day.

02/16: 203.4 Ate some peanut butter which I know always moves the scale up a bit.

02/17: 203.7 Visiting family and indulged a bit. Back to it today

02/18: 203.5 Eating better and tracking all food.

02/19: 203.0 I realized its not good for my WOE to have a cheat “day”. I can have 1 cheat item once a week, but having too much upsets my stomach. I like to plan on a cheat item on Saturdays but I don’t do it every Saturday. So far this is working for me.

02/20: 202.3 Yay! Made my goal weight for this round. Plan to keep going in this direction. Feeling good about my food choices.

"Our greatest glory is, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith
About me: 62, 5'7", hit maintenance in March 2018 but, typical yoyo, currently bouncing way over original goal weight of 130.
GOALS THIS ROUND reporting on all the "yesterdays":

• under calorie goal 9/10 days: 6/10 so far
• over 8K steps 9/10 days: 6/10 so far
• three strength workouts: 2/3 so far
• four cardio workouts: 3/4 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.
2/18 - 132.8 - yesterday over maint calories, only 3K steps. Cumulative bad sleep got to me.
2/19 - 134.0 - gah! Yesterday over maint calories, but 10K steps and a nice sharp bike ride. Weekends are hard!

2/20 - 134.2 - double gah. Yesterday noon, got in a small strength workout, enough for some solid sore muscles, and a short walk. But just gave up at and after dinner, so tired I wanted to cry and put my face in the food and didn't stop. Went to bed at 7:45 and got 9.5 hours of real sleep. Not sure what all the extremely tired thing is lately, but I know that when I am super tired I really mess up on food.

The good news: Still reporting, still logging even if after the fact when my choices are less than optimal.
