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.
02/28 – 144 – Although I stayed around my 1200 calories, my stress levels were through the roof yesterday between work and home issues. I’ve noticed water retention before when I’ve been particularly stressed. Hopefully, I won’t have as many issues today and I’ll try to drink more water.
03/01 – 144 – I drank extra water and stayed at 1200 calories, but my rings were so tight this morning I could barely move them. I’ll be extra mindful of the food I eat this weekend, but I’m drinking my wine tonight!

Female, 29, 5'3"
SW: 156 lbs (May 2018)
CW and BMI: 126.3 lbs, 22.3
GW and BMI: 116 lbs, 20.5

02/22: 126.3 lbs * I'm having a terrible time losing the last 10lbs, so I'd love to join in for a little daily motivation!

02/23: 126 lbs * Stayed within my calories yesterday, but I'm definitely not drinking enough water. I'm going to try and up my water intake today and prepare for a little water weight gain tomorrow.

02/24: 125.3 lbs * No water weight gain, but I still don't think I drank enough water yesterday. Still more than normal, but it's something I need to consciously work on. I'm so happy for the little dip in weight since I was super tempted to binge on my favourite pre-MFP snack last night and opted instead for a nice filling dinner (within my calories!). Waking up and seeing the number go down reminded me that indulging last night would have ruined my excitement this morning and I would have likely seen the scale go up a pound or two instead of down. I think my slow weight loss over the past couple months is from allowing myself to get away with Saturday snacking too much. I need to save my 'fun nights' for special dinner dates with my husband and overnight trips instead of munching away by myself on my computer. I'm feeling very successful today, hoping to keep it going!

02/25: 125 lbs * I'm so thrilled that I've lost 4 days in a row. I haven't had this much success in a while. It will definitely even out soon - I can't lose every day! I was super excited about my loss this morning because I had a pre-planned McDonald's dinner last night (well within my calories) and I didn't come home and snack once I was finished. It's nice having a treat once in a while that doesn't derail my progress and that fits into my daily calories. Good habits are starting to stick!

02/26: 124.5 lbs * I got off and on the scale so many times because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I didn't think this number would show up for quite a while. Hopefully I wont be seeing 125.5+ again anytime soon, but who knows. Feeling really encouraged to keep going at 120%.

02/27: 124.5 lbs * It had to slow down at some point! I'm so happy to be at this weight for another day. I was having the hardest time for a couple months focusing on my diet and this challenge is doing so much for keeping me accountable for each day. Feeling really awesome!

02/28: 124 lbs * I haven't had this successful of a week for months! I've stuck to my calories completely and drank lots of water this week and it's made such a difference. I'm really starting to notice improvements in areas of my body that I was still feeling really insecure about. I wasn't sure if 116 lbs was going to be my final goal weight, but I'm thinking it's probably going to be right on the nose for where I'll want to be in the end.

03/01: 124.8 lbs * I knew this was coming, it had to even out eventually

. I stayed within my calories yesterday, ate healthy, but did not drink enough water. As in.... I didn't realise until almost 7PM that all I'd had to drink yesterday was a small cup of tea. And this was after a lot of walking. So I definitely know what to do differently today. Still feeling awesome (if not a little dehydrated)!

2nd round for me!
Round 68 SW -225.8
EW- 219.8 (↓6)

Round 69
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 – 219.2 – I am feeling great, I have been trying to get some walking in. I started walking to the elementary school to get my granddaughter (this is over 2 miles). I also made a quick walk to the bus stop for grandson turn into over a mile also.
02/23 – 219.6 – Not concerned, I got a walk in yesterday and knew yesterday for dinner would not be super. I ate something with additional sugar, which I generally do not. I was within my goals. It the weekend and today will eat pizza due to being at granddaughters birthday party at the bowling alley.
02/24 – 217.4 – I am amazed at this because I ate so much yesterday, well over all my calories, sodium, fat, etc. Everything was in the red. Although, my granddaughter said this birthday was the best party ever. A room full of my ex and ex in-laws and everyone got along. Today will be staying on track.
02/25 – 219.4 Not sure what happen here, except more carbs than usual even though within the amounts or just from the weekend party yet. Either way I am not letting this get me down tomorrow will be better.
02/26 – 216.4 - Granddaughters actual Birthday, I haven’t been walking with the high winds and too cold for me. Tonight will be ice cream cake (Oreo blizzard). I will eat small and try to allow for this in my calories. I slept in today which unusual but felt good!
02/27 – 217 – not bad considering I went over a little. I tried putting in before time and then couldn’t without knowing correct size, etc. Now back on track for the rest of the week. My granddaughter asked if I can pick her up for today, so will walk to the school.
02/28 – 216.4 – I was excited when first stepped on the scale it showed 211.6! However I waited and did again it was 216.4, then stepped on it several more times and it came up 216.4. It a lost but still disappointing because was hoping it was the first weight. I also had conversation with my granddaughter after I picked her up from school.
Granddaughter – You are losing weight.
Me – Really you think so.
Granddaughter – Yes
Me – I am but how can you tell?
Granddaughter – Because your stomach is smaller than when I first start coming here long time ago.
Me – Oh that was a long time (about 4-5 years ago), well thank you, lol.
03/01 – 215 - feeling pretty good this morning, slept in actually just got up at 7am. Hubby wants to eat out today, so a little nervous. Although he is trying to make healthier decisions also.

03/01 - 158.7 Up a little but that's okay. We had a chili dog deal here at work for a coworker's wife dealing with cancer (I believe the second time) so donate money and get food. Might have underestimated calories but that's alright. Did 20 minutes on my stationary bike and some hip thrusts and lunges to keep the booty happy (have to keep my hips and glutes strong to keep my back aligned properly at fusion site). Water intake was good. Probably could up it a little more but new water bottle so already added about 5 more oz in the last couple days. Here's to a good weekend!

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 it 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.

02/28 194.8 I stayed within nutrition plan and increased calories. I need to continue with increased water and fibre.

03/01 195 increased water and exercise, happy to be here and know patience is needed.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 138.2 lb. Nothing lost nothing gained. I'm happy 😊
02/23 137.6 lb. I am loving this new life I'm building. I have been so sore since starting to incorporate jogging but I still keep my body moving. Yesterday I did the 5K in 43 minutes and although that is pretty slow for 3.1 miles (I did a lot of walking), I can only go up from here! My friend and I are going to sign up for a timed 5K in a couple months and I'm also thinking of doing Bay to Breakers! 🌉 We'll see!
02/24 136.6 lbs. Yesterday was kind of crazy, I was out of the house all day and I knew I had dinner plans with my family so I decided to save up most of my calories for that. But what I ended up doing was compensating with lots of cafinated drinks and I didn't drink much water. At the end of the day I think I didn't eat enough and the caffiene's diuretic effects have led me to lose a lot of water weight. So I'll probably be back up tomorrow once I replenish my fluids.
02/25 137.2 lbs. Now this is a much more realistic number to reflect my diet and exercise over the weekend. 👍
02/26 135.4 lbs. Feeling terrible. I got poison oak from my hike last week and I'm sick with a cold. I haven't been eating enough or drinking enough. Been going to sleep early because the benedryl makes me so sleepy and the itching is unbearable without it. I'm not pleased with this loss because I know I'm not taking care of myself. I am going to buy some homemade chicken noodle soup today from the Nugget. I hope that helps.
02/27 136.4 lbs. I finished my 30 days of yoga journey and that has me feeling proud. I did much better with food yesterday. I ate Cuties throughout the day to get extra vitamin C. And I made sure to drink 64 oz of water. But I'm still struggling because with being sick and itchy and it being rainy and windy I'm not doing any other physical activity besides the yoga. Today is my day off so I'm gonna go get a manicure and some fresh juice at Jamba. I don't know what else to do with myself today besides that, and it has me feeling low.
02/28 139.3 lbs. I started my TOM late yesterday. Haven't been moving around much but I also haven't been over eating either so I hope this is just water weight. This is my first time getting my aunt Flo during a challenge so I'm not used to seeing how it changes things but I'm trying to be optimistic.
03/01 135.6 lbs. Bouncy scale ! I'll admit, yesterday I had a lot of TOM loose stool and I expected my weight would go down. I felt cleaned out! And since I was feeling better with my cold and my poison oak healing, I went on a nice long 90 minute walk around town and I did a challenging yoga video. 13,800 steps total. Overall it was a great day. And (NSV) I also have been having two thin mints a night and been able to not binge on them!

Round 64 SW 219 EW 213 not expecting another drop like this, but happy to report it!
Round 65 SW 211 EW 208.6 2.4 loss
Round 66 SW 208.2 EW 203.8 4.4 loss
Round 67 SW 204.6 EW 202.8 1.8 loss
Round 68 SW 202.8 EW 200.2 I saw Onderland, but now I need to see ONEderland, and stay for a while!
Round 69 203.8 UGH....

02/22 - SORRY
02/23 - I AM
02/24 - LATE!
02/25 - 203.8 NYC was fantastic, but I ate more than I could walk off, and I walked A LOT ! That's ok...I am back on track.
02/26 - 201.6 Although I enjoyed the yumminess of NYC, I feel so much better just 2 days back on track!
02/27 - 200 I will be happy if I just get back on track this round.... so far so good! Also, weird recipe trick to share, made chicken salad last night. Usually do it with all light mayo. Last night I cut the mayo way back (from 4 tablespoons to less then 2) by adding chicken broth... so good !
02/28 - 199.8 Out to dinner for my dad's 80th last night, didn't anticipate a loss, so it may creep up tomorrow... Had a delicious meal, but did not go too crazy, and saved a lot of my calories for dinner.
03/01 - 199.6 Out dinner again last night. So I am happy to have a loss, but I feel yucky today. That just encourages me to make healthier choices today.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/22 - 144.4
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.

02/28 - 145
Off to the Y in a few for exercise and a fitness evaluation. Should be interesting. I'm baking bread this afternoon for a potluck this evening with my Sisters in Good Company group - love them, and the food at potluck so is always yummy and mostly healthful. Hoping to get some writing in while the bread bakes - I just started the first book in a new mystery series (I'm 4 books into another series but the publisher went out of business :-( ), and I'm all wound up as I get it going. It's easy to get lost in it and sit on my butt too long - we all know this about computers or knitting or cross stitch or reading or...., right? - so I set an interval timer to get me up every 25 min to move around for 5. Helps a lot! I also have a standing computer stand, but find it hard to use for real concentration. I'm working on that. Anyway, I'm looking forward to a good, busy, low-calorie, healthful day and wish the same for all of you!

03/01 - 145
Looks like I won't be getting back to the 30s this round, but it's March - Spring IMHO! - and I'm sprouting a new leaf. Sugar is first to go - I've eaten more added sugar in the past 4 months than in the previous 4 years. No idea what got into me, but it's getting out. Not only has it packed on a few pounds, but I hurt more the past few weeks, and sugar promotes inflammation, so.... The fitness test went great, though - aside from coming up too fat on those measures, I got high ratings on muscle strength and endurance and on BP and cardio recovery, so all is not yet lost! I can't believe we're almost to the end of this round, though. I continue to be inspired by those of you who are sticking to your plans and those of you who slip and get back up. So thanks for all that!

02/22: 244.4 - I went shopping and bought some things I shouldn't. 😒
02/23: 245.8 - went out to see a comedian. Lots of baked goods consumed.
02/24: 248 - weight is back almost where it was when I started. I need to get it together. Note to self: stay out of the bakery aisle at the store. I will eat it ALL.
02/25: 247.8 - Met my dad to go walking. It was a shock to see how much he struggled. He's a closet smoker since heart surgery 15 years ago and we had to stop and rest about every quarter mile. It was a glaring reminder of how important it is to take care of your body. On a positive note, I logged over 13,000 steps for the day.
02/26: 246.6 - uneventful day. Cleaned and worked on my classes. I realize that not logging my food is having an impact on my weight loss so I need to get back on track.
02/27: 247.4 - Logged all my food today. 🏅Got together with a friend to hangout.
02/28: 245.8 - tracking my food seems to have made a positive impact on the scale. Will keep doing it. One day at a time!
03/01: 244 - tracked my food again yesterday and its keeping me honest. "Hey there good buddy, keep on tracking." (anyone remember to 70s?)

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 180.4 Um. What? I’m totally baffled. Yesterday my weight went from 177 to 179 which I figured has got to be water weight. It’s higher today. I was within calories and had lots of water and thankfully had a much better night of sleep. Aggravating.
02/23 179.8 We went out to dinner last night to celebrate my hubby getting a new job. Was only slightly over calories, but weight is down a smidge so I’ll take it! I’m still trying to figure out my calories so I can consistently lose. So far this month, I’ve managed to maintain. I know I can get this figured out, and you guys are so supportive, thank you!
02/24 178 Coming back down. I was within calories and macros and I got my minimum 10,000 steps yesterday. 🙂
02/25 178.8 I felt like yesterday was a pretty good day. I was within calories, I got in 30 active minutes and 10,000 steps. Sodium was a bit high though. We did church, then had a relaxing day at home after.
02/26 I78.6 I’m just keeping up with what I’ve been doing! Within calories, no exrcise though. I’ve been pre logging my meals and I feel like it helps keep me on track.
02/27 178.2
02/28 177.8 Woo hoo! It's been a struggle to figure out what my calories need to be, but hopefully the trend continues down!

03/01 177.6 I’m going out to eat at a German restaurant tonight! The restaurant doesn’t have nutrition information listed, so I’m guesstimating. It’s my day off of work today, so I’m going to try and get my steps in and maybe get a short workout. Have a great day everyone!

Round 68 Start: 314.5 End: 315.5

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.
02/28: 308.25 (-3.25) - Woosh! Backache has been quite bad for a few days now, I'm headachey, so this is nice to see! I'm under goals etc so it makes sense to keep going down, although I seem to be losing faster than I'd expect. All happiness though! I daresay this will up and down a bit but the trend in Libra is good.
03/01: 308.5 (-0.25) - Getting under 308 is a big goal, nice being so close!

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (My Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!

2/22-166-I leave my dad today, after taking care of him and his new knee. After the weekend, will go to where my husband and I are going to live. I look forward to living with my husband and getting to walk up and down the long paved driveway there, where we will be living (waiting for the house to be built).

2/23-166-Yesterday before I left my dad’s house, I rode 20 last miles on his bike. My legs were sore the rest of the day and that felt good. Today we will go help set up and work at a fundraiser that will have heavy food, lots of drinks and it will be a late night.
2/24-169-Heavy food and a late night. I need to drink lots of water and no alcohol. Hopefully I can get a walk in later. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everybody!!!
2/25-169-That’s OK after long hours and n the car and quick heavy dinner. We made it to our new temporary housing while our house is being built. It is great because there is a long paved driveway and I can walk the dogs every day.😊
2/26 -164-yipee! Signs of the weekend are finally gone. I walked 4 miles fast yesterday, and logged my food & drank water.
2/27-167-Walked 5 miles; the dogs love it! Heavy lunch & too many chips and dip before dinner. Once the weather gets better, I can walk 30 min. after dinner and that really helps. I need to get sewing today; I’m falling behind!😳
2/28-167-Nothing like Mexican food....that big bowl of chips, a burrito and a beer. I should get back down to that 164 I saw and I don’t have many days to do it. I’ve been walking 5 miles a day and it’s going to start paying off.

3/1-164-Whew! I hope to loose one more pound this round. If I get to 163 it will make me closer to the 150’s. It’s Friday!!!!!

I am glad all of you are here! I love reading all of your posts while I drink my coffee in the morning. ☕️🌷

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!

02/25 - 244.8 did great today!! Over 25,000 steps, a good solid arm workout, and under calories.
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.
02/27 - 245.1 I ate mostly okay, but did have the chocolate pudding hubby made from scratch, so no idea on the calories for that. I hit my step goal, but excitingly I jogged a mile on the treadmill at the gym!! It was in 2 half-mile increments, but for me and my asthma, that’s huge. My heart rate got way up there (177), but my I didn’t need to use my inhaler after, so that’s a huge improvement for me!!
02/28 - 244.5 got a good amount of steps today, and a lot of chores done. 20,000+ steps! On the downside, we went to the gym before dinner, but then got McDonalds on the way home 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I tried to be balanced, and got a burger and a shamrock shake for later (but no meal) and I had oranges with the burger at home.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 -213.6 Not surprised about increase since I weight lifted yesterday, the trainer has already increased the intensity on some of the training we are doing. Went to nutritionist and she said I can incorporate eggs into my diet!!! I am so excited, but there is a process on how to incorporate the eggs, so I am going to have to plan when I eat the eggs. She also said that over the next 4 weeks I can incorporate a couple of the other foods that I'm not too sensitive to see how they affect me. Who knew I would be so excited about eggs.

02/23 -213.6 Didn't drink a lot of water yesterday and ate way too much for dinner, but I had a great sleep. Went to the gym to do my training this morning, it was the first time I worked out by myself since I started working with my trainer. It's funny how much my trainer's voice was in my ear as I was working out. I'm going to run some errands and then off to the symphony tonight.
02/24 -213.4
02/25 -214.7 Forgot to post yesterday because I woke up late and had to rush to get my run in before my husband and I drove over to see the in-laws. I successfully finished W5D3, which is the 20 minute run, and I felt great.

Then we drove 1 1/2 hours to get to the in-laws and I barely drank any water yesterday. I did incorporate eggs into my diet for the first time in over 3 months, so now I am supposed to wait and see if I have any reactions over the next 72 hours, so far so good. It's sunny outside, the first time in a couple of days, and my first thought, even though today is not my run day, is that it would be a great day to go for a run...I think I may just go ahead and go for a run.

02/26 -213.6 Didn't go for a run yesterday. Personal trainer tonight.
02/27 -212.7 Went to trainer last night, I was so exhausted at the end of the session. My hope is to go running and/or yoga tonight. So far no adverse reaction to the eggs I ate almost 3 days ago.
02/28 -213.1
03/01 -212.9 My weight is really fluctuating over the last 2-3 weeks, but I am taking it as a new weightlifting routine and the fact that I am running more. My clothes are looser and I'm getting stronger, so in the end that's what matters. Crisp and sunny day today makes a great day for running.

02/21 149.8 ~ (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

02/27 146.6 ~ (Steps 18,214) ~ 👍🏼👍🏼

02/28 146.9 ~ (Steps 17,024) ~ 👍🏼👍🏼

02/22: 227.8: 14,347 steps, started couch to 5k again (last time I hurt myself and couldn't keep up the running). Got in running/walking time, some weights, jacuzzi/pool time, went out for dinner and walk around town even though there is still ice and snow on the ground!
02/23: 227.8: 4,682 steps, I had to work the dayshift and I was unable to get to the gym before it closed. But watched my calories and made sure not to overeat while at work, which is an amazing feat in of itself.
02/24: 224.4: Steps are still counting for the day but they are going to be low. My hip has been out again and causing tremendous pain down my leg. I am going to make it tomorrow no matter what and try and walk it out. I was happy with my loss. Getting back into the grove of my diet always shows tremendous gains (or losses!). I just have to be mindful while eating at ork and not overeat.
02/25: 227.1: I knew there was going to be a gain. With no gym and barely any moving around yesterday I just couldn't see how sitting around and eating would help. I am off to do shopping and the gym before heading to work, so hopefully back on losing weight train. I think I overate at dinner and at too much salad and chicken, who knew but I didn't stop when I was full. I need to be more aware of that, especially at work.
02/26: 222.7: 10,478 steps, I actually did Wk1/D2 of the C25k program and I did it outside, it was the first time I have run outside since I was a teenager. I was quite mindful of what I was eating and to stop when I was full and I didn't eat after 8pm while sitting at work, which is a huge hurdle for me. It is difficult to be at work until midnight and not pick at something for several hours. I am feeling good about the loss, but always confused about the large decreases, but as long as I am trending down!
02/27: 221.3: 5,473 steps, I tried my best to be good eating yesterday. I stayed under my calories and split lunch with my boyfriend (spicy and sour soup and cashew chicken without rice). It is so much easier having someone with me who is also following a similar "diet." I wasn't able to make it to the gym or otherwise and today I finally have an appointment with an orthopedic doctor to look at my hip and back after being in pain for a year. I guess it is time to take care of it!
02/28: 222.4:
03/01: no weigh-in: no update. I was away today and this morning so I was unable to weigh in. Definitely ate a little too much last night and I can feel it today. Getting back on track!

02/22—214—Dropping that water back off. I did 51 straight knee pushups this morning. Over halfway to my goal!

02/27—214.4
02/28—213.2

03/01—213.2—I haven't dropped off the face of the planet, but I wouldn't mind it. It sounds so restful! Today is the first day in a long while that I don't have meetings scheduled. I'm debating whether I should switch my pushups challenge from knee pushups to toe pushups. I can finally do toe pushups and completed 4 of them last night.

This will be my 2nd round participating, was very pleased with the first round.

round 68 - sw 203.8 - ew 198. (-5.8 lbs)

SW 203.8

GW (this round) 193.0
OGW 175 ish

I'm trying to learn to love my treadmill again and start up the c25k running plan. There's a 5k I could participate in
at the end of May. It's good for me to have exercise goals too.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 197.2 it really does help to exercise and not eat late at night 😄. Good start for the next ten days but the weekend is coming up and I have plans to eat out tomorrow and the husband is home this weekend, we are on opposite scales of eating, I just need to stay disciplined. Happy weekend all!!
02/23 198.8 expected. My Friday cheat day I really took advantage of and no exercise.
02/24 200.8 hopefully I got all my junk eating out of the way. Back on track today already this morning with my smoothie. ☺️
02/25 201.8. Ok, still paying for my bad choices this weekend, but it’s Monday!! Back on track, for real.
02/26 199.4. Going back in the right direction! It was hard not having a dessert last night (I did have a couple spoons of cool whip 🙃) the sugar cravings are really strong at night again.
02/27 199.2 I little loss, I’m not going to make my goal for this round if I don’t get my butt in gear. There’s too much going on after work this week so I’ve been thinking I need to have a morning routine that includes exercise but I hate getting up any earlier than I have to in the morning. Ugh! It’s all in my head, I just need to believe it’s worth it because this weight isn’t going anywhere without exercise. I can set exercise goals too and that doesn’t matter either, the excuses are bigger! Ok. That’s the end of my whining 😬
02/28 198.0
03/01 198.2. Last day at current job, so lots of goodbye junk. Not sure I’ll even make it back down to my beginning round weight, because here comes the weekend again... oh well.
