Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 – 142.5 – I had a highly stressful day at work yesterday and I could feel myself wanting to graze on the chocolates, donuts, and candy my coworkers have scattered around the office. Instead, I pulled out my bag of skinnypop popcorn and crunched away my frustrations a piece at a time.
02/23 – 143 – I had a turkey taco, a half a brownie, and a couple extra ounces of wine last night. Even though I have to work through the weekends through April 15th, I enjoy celebrating a Friday night. I was still within maintenance calories, so I’m fine with some water weight bumps this weekend.
02/24 – 144 - There's a bump! Hope it's not much worse tomorrow.
02/25 – 145 – This is why I’m here. I’d prefer to see the scale closer to 142, so I’m going to eat at my weight loss calories and drink plenty of water over the next few days.
02/26 – 144 – I ate well yesterday, but not enough water. I’ll try to fix that today.
02/27 – 143 – OK, I had more water yesterday and stayed around 1200 calories.

Day/Weight/Comments

02/22 196 tracking my food is working, but I do need to increase my exercise.

02/23 196.2 not too surprised by this small gain, I did not do enough exercise and was over on my calories. Today is a new day, woke up energized and ready to begin again.

02/24 196.4 not enough water or exercise, I need to get back on track. Beautiful day today, I will get outside for some vitamin d before the storm tonight.

02/25 195.4 🚰🚶‍♀️ water and walking were above goal. Snow storm today, so will need to be careful with carbs. (Comfort foods)

02/26 195.6 not surprised, late night snacks. I will do better today. I have added more protein to my breakfast.

02/27 195 I increased protein (reduced carbs to within allowances) and had my protein earlier in the day. (I was within calories) I will do this again today and I will also add some additional high fiber foods today.

Result of round 69

Round 58 (-5.8 lbs)

Missed the last round, but I'm back again.... just can't give up!

Facts: age: 61, female, 5'3"
Current weight: 135 (highest in a year!)
Lowest weight: 122 (a year ago now -- felt great!!)
Highest weight: 198 (lol! So close to 200...)

Have hovered around 127-130 all year, but now I'm 135. I go up and down a couple of pounds, but I never want to go back to the "old me" -- so I'll keep trying! Really working right now at losing -- logging the foods (which I admit I stopped doing) and tracking the exercise. I do power yoga (in 95 degrees) 4 times per week, and we have a puppy -- black lab mix -- that keeps us walking and running. SO, it must be the food choices that have me putting weight back on. I'm adding in more veggies and greens, and cutting the carbs. Back to the 120's!

2/22 -- 134.9
2/23 -- 135.0
2/24 -- 135.0
2/25 -- 133.7 Soooo glad to see the drop and motivated to keep it going! Busy week ahead --must stay mindful.
2/26 -- 133.3 Another little drop makes me happy! Did a power yoga session last night (75 mins) and really felt great afterwards. Did have two glasses of wine afterwards! That felt great too!
2/27 -- 133.3 No change. Did yoga again yesterday, and I'm feeling really motivated. Just takes time. Good days everyone!

02/27 - 159.6 I'm making progress. TOM will start today or tomorrow and hopefully the little bit of water weight/bloating will go down (not that I feel like I've gained any water weight and I don't feel particularly bloated, the body is surprising). Either way, it'll be a relief to get it started and over with. I under ate quite horribly yesterday. Spent a good chunk of time making dinner only to end up barely eating it (felt so full after a few bites) so I need to fix that. I was sitting about 1100 calories so not terribly off but I had to force food down my throat to hit that (not sick, just no desire to eat, would rather have fattening food). Water was on track

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22: 311.00 (-4.5) - New low, always nice! Bit surprised actually, triple checked. Due to this bad cold I'm still only making sure I come in under maintainance. Came in with a decent defecit yesterday though, so we'll see. Basically working on this week being steady. I always struggle when ill to not overeat, maintainance seems a good compromise. I updated my goals again recently, so my calorie goal changes, dropped by 50 a day. I think updating regularly so it's only small drops will be best so I'm not feeling like it's getting more restrictive in larger amounts.
02/23: 309.75 (-1.25) - Guess I'm not past wooshing after all! Still got a cold, but feeling better. I assume this is loss from the weekend catching up.
02/24: 312.75 (+3.00) - Ate nearly to maintainance yesterday, as I went very ill again, and I forgot to weigh until after breakfast. Hopefully be back to a defecit soon.
02/25: 311.75 (-1.00) - An earlier weigh was heavier I think, but I was half asleep and can't remember the number.
So with feeling ill I've just been trying to stay under maintainance calories. Yesterday I ate biscuits and cake and such, again. And I felt awful from it, both from overeating in general and what it was. I'm very much back on the bandwagon today just from how I felt, because that's likely not helping my fatigue. And what's horrifying is 2 months ago, that'd have been a pretty good day. Week, in fact. I ate a pack of biscuits over the week, I'd have eaten them in a day before. And another the next day. It's scary what I've been doing to my body, and how bad it made me feel day to day has just hit me like a truck. How much of my fatigue is currently (and has been before) because I'm not eating well? I love my body more than this.
02/26: 310.5 (-0.75) - in my British stones, 308lbs is 22st, not far off! That's a big milestone, I literally can't remember when I was last under that. Came in fairly low calorie yesterday, keeping my eating light for a bit.
02/27: 311.5 (+1.00) - I forgot to weigh this morning so this is post- lunch. Figured I may as well log it though. That's fine. Had a day about to my goal yesterday, so I'm doing fine. I'm finding these 10 day challenges keep me going, they feel like a great source of support and camaraderie - we all have different goals, some to lose, some to maintain, I think some to gain muscle? But we're all here every day. It's a nice feeling.

02/23 149.8 ~ (Steps 13,942) I realize the challenge don’t actually start till tomorrow but I need to get a grip on things here. My husband and I decided to take a drive to visit the biggest book store in the States here. We only live a couple hours away so it was a nice drive plus we stopped for lunch. Unfortunately my weight has gone up these last few days. On the bright side there’s only one way to go noe, lol. I do have fantastic news within the next week, my husband will be starting his new job, yessssssssss. This means I can get a routine back, yesss yesss yesss.

02/22 148.8 ~ (Steps 19,696) ~ Yesterday was a successful day in NLS, this will be my number one focus on achieving for my weight to drop. Today I’m hoping to get a pool session in,

02/23 148.1 ~ (Steps 12,978) ~ I was about to get a pool session in plus a wonderful workout at the gym, hopefully today will be a repeat. Of course, now not getting enough sleep isn’t helping. Within the next few days that should be getting back to normal too, 👍🏼

02/24 148 ~ (Steps 12,366) ~ Not the healthiest food choices yesterday, unfortunately. On the bright side I was able to get a good nights sleep in,

02/25 147.1 ~ (Steps 18,136) ~ Even though during the day it was hectic, I didn’t turn to food yay! I ended up taking a wonderful relaxing walking after dinner, which helped with late night snacking. My husband came home with Girl Scout cookies. They went in the freezer, out of sight out of mind, lol.

02/26 146.7 ~ (Steps 11,005) ~ I need to continue with this trend, focus focus focus

I did a little better yesterday, but still snacked a bit. Step by step, pound by pound, back to where I was before November - no sugar or salt cravings.

02/23 - 143.4
I have to bake cornbread this afternoon for a chili & cornbread cook off/fundraiser tonight, so salad for lunch -- and I'm hitting the gym this morning. We'll see if I continue to downward trend despite - ymmmm - cornbreads to sample! Have a lovely weekend, all.

02/24 - 145
Ooops. Too many chili samples, bowls, & cornbreads, and salt. Good, though! This gain is temporary. On to the new week, starting today. Have a good Sunday, and week to come!

02/25 - 145
I mostly behaved myself yesterday, other than some cookies at UU. But we had high winds and once home I didn't want to go back out to the Y, so not much exercise beyond a little cleaning/organizing. I plan to get there today for weights & walking and/or biking. And I'm determined to stick to my calorie goal this week. I hope.

@TerriRichardson112 Lovely photo! Where are you? I'm guessing Ireland since Scotland is a smudge? I'm dying to get back to both sometime soon - my ma was Scottish, and I've loved Ireland since my first visit.

02/26 - 145
OK, I guess I'll sit here for a few days. That's fine, I know I'm eating better and it will fall away eventually. Off to the Y in a few minutes - I feel so virtuous when I stick to my exercise plan.

02/27 - 146
Whaaa??? OK, whatever. I'm doing everything right; results will follow. Off to the Y and then the grocery for veggies - making minestrone for tomorrow. Mmmmm.

02/26 - 244.6 - today was really stressful, one of my foster dogs bit a kid (said kid is fine, but still). I did not get to the gym, and stopped tracking calories after lunch 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I did pull out my exercise trampoline to get the last 2500 steps, so at least I hit my daily goal there.
