02/22 176.4 Woosh! great way to start the round. Have some DOMS today from yesterdays work out so I will try to get some walking in today, despite the grey rainy weather. The days are getting longer if not yet brighter.
02/23 176.8
02/24 176.0
02/25 177.4 The wind storm we are having is making me anxious and keeping me indoors. Anxiety eating yesterday but able to keep it at maintenance cals.
02/26 179 Felt like cr@p, ate like cr@p. Ate like cr@p, felt like cr@p. Did not log after noon, but definitely way over on carbs and cals. I am taking today off work - hopefully some extra rest will help me get back on track. Really need to learn my lesson - comfort carbs backfire in so many ways.
02/27 178.6 back from the brink!
02/28 DNW - forgot to step on the scale this morning!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 70

69th Round for me: Female 65, height 5’
Goal this round, starting Feb 22/19: To get out of the 160’s or at least consistently not above 160. Round 69 – 161.4

I’ve been bopping around in the low 160’s for months. Last round I worked on getting my head in a different space as far as eating (trying to look at portions as I would have in my 20’s – i.e. much smaller is plenty) and upping my exercise. My gym exercise is about the same but I’m trying to not allow myself to just sit doing crafts, computer or reading without breaking it up with some movement.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 – 161.8 -
02/23 – 162 – Good day yesterday for sticking with financial stuff that had to get done but ended up not moving as much as planned. Kept within cals. though and logged.
02/24 – 162 – Got in some home exercise but only about 20 min.
02/25 – 161.6 – Did not track cals. but think they were pretty good. No movement except for grocery shopping. Then did some online shopping for a pattern book, out of print a few years ago, and found it at a decent price – dithered & looked some more – you never know if you’ll find it at some library sale for $.50 or if this is your last chance to get it. Finally bought it because I want to make the pattern on the cover, although the exchange from USD to CAD is awful, and realized it’s 1 a.m.! But I got so caught up in my looking that no LNS and went to bed a little hungry.
02/26 – 161.8
02/27 – 161.6 – Gym today, finally. Maybe that will give me a little extra kick going down. Think I’m going to set up a couple of new knitting and embroidery projects – if I don’t have anything like that going, I tend to surf online for my downtime and that inevitably leads to snacking. I used to be terrible about snacking while reading – handwork is so much better because you can’t eat or your project gets grimy with fingerprints.
02/28 – 162 – Good day yesterday. Lots of determination to log everything after reading posts on a different thread and realizing that I was guessing too much of the time – then when I went to do it the website was under maintenance … oh well, on course for today.

"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: 4/10 so far
• over 8K steps 9/10 days: 6/10 so far
• three strength workouts: 1/3 so far
• four cardio workouts: 2/4 so far

2/21 for continuity - 134.0
2/22 - 133.2 - Yesterday under calorie goal for .5 lb weekly loss, got 8K steps.
2/23 - 133.2 - yesterday at calorie goal, 8K steps.
2/24 - 134.2 - Yesterday over calorie goal and didn't even log but, got 16K steps in spite of driving 300 miles, a number of those steps in short .25 to .5 runs with the dog.
2/25 - 135.6 - exhausted and mostly sedentary yesterday, 5K steps. Overate, didn't even log. Tried a 10 minute row but that was all I had. Today, up again and take another. There is a reason that Oliver Goldsmith quote is at the top of my posts.
2/26 - 133.8 - yesterday under my calorie goal, 8K steps. Raining hard in NorCal!
2/27 - 133.0 - yesterday under calories and: rainsoaked walk-run with dog, 27 minute row, and a body-weight strength workout, 8K steps total.
Unfortunately left me in a place where the office break-table breakfast looked better than mine, so I already have eaten over half my calorie allowance in one stupid Costco muffin, WHO KNEW?!?!? Live and learn .......
2/28 - 133.0 - yesterday logged, a bit over maintenance, 10K steps and some casual strength work and stretching that I am not really going to count as a "workout" but better than nothing!

3/1 - 134.0 - yesterday WAAY over calories, 6K steps and a lot of emo, short on sleep. MEH.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/22 - 156.3, went to a basketball game yesterday night and had a couple of beers so preparing myself for a uptick tomorrow. Was worth it though since had a great time and we won!!
10,232 steps, 35 minutes of exercise, 68 oz of water

02/23 - 156.1, busy day today with a volunteer shift from 9-1, brunch (not a great menu for a diet but they have a la carte eggs and fruit salad), gym/shower after, and then a club dinner at 5 so won’t be back home until after 8pm.
12,282 steps, 60 minutes of exercise, 64 oz of water

02/24 - 156.4, had brunch out today (2 egg white scrambled, piece of rye toast, and breakfast potatoes) so hoping I stay under 156.5 tomorrow. Diet will be back to normal tomorrow since weekends I tend to eat out more. Really going to try for 155 on 3/01, but started February 160.4 so 5.4 lbs is a bit ambitious for only 28 days so won’t kick myself too much if don’t get there.

Phone ran out of battery at 2pm with 6850 steps but walked a lot after. Charging Fitbit today since I have to get used to wearing it even if I don’t think it’s attractive— no time for egos., 60 minutes of exercise, 64 oz of water

02/25 - 156.3, back to where I was at the start of the round and pretty happy with that since ate out 3 out of the past 4 days and even if you think you’re ordering correctly it’s hard to know how much oil or salt was used.
10,345 steps, 55 minutes on elliptical, 70 oz of water

02/26 - 156.1, going in the right direction. It’s raining hard here today so hoping to get steps in. Not sure if will be able to if wind picks up.
12,672 steps, 95 minutes on elipitcal, 60 oz of water

02/27 - 156.2, this is a very stable round so far, but I know that weight loss is in my future. I also am seeing what foods fill me up more. I love cereal but it’s not doing it’s job compared to oatmeal haha
11,904 steps, 35 minutes on eliptical, 48 oz of water

02/28 -156, at this point I just am hoping for any loss this round. Should be a good food and exercise day for me today since have all meals planned and prepped and have two hours between work and a meeting for an organization tonight to go to gym and shower.
10,384 steps, 60 minutes on elliptical, 64 oz of water

03/01 - 156, never have been so happy to see the same number twice. I think I’ll cry when I eventually see a 155.x. I’ve adjusted my goals to being below 156 this round instead of 155.

Round 68 🔺 -1.8lbs

02/22: 207.4 - Still sick, but DS is feeling better so I finally got a decent night sleep. Hoping to see a continued downward trend as I get well. 📉

02/23: 206.8 - Slowly on the mend. Guest leaves tomorrow, then I’ll officially be back in a deficit. ✈️

02/24: 206.0 - Looks like I must have overestimated some of our meals out this week because I’m still dropping despite theoretically being at maintenance. Few restaurants here are in the database & none post nutritional info. 🧮

02/25: 205.0 - Finally feeling better! Looks like I’m dropping some water weight that my body held on to while I was sick. 💧

02/26: 204.4 - Still dropping. Awesome! 🤩

02/27: 204.8 - Looks like my body found where it wants to be for now. I always follow this pattern when I have a “whoosh”: I drop for several days, then it settles just above my lowest. 💭

02/28: 204.8 - Same as yesterday. Split a meatball calzone with DS today for lunch... it’ll be interesting to see how that impacts tomorrow’s weigh-in. 🍕

03/01: 204.2 - Glad not to see a spike; guess I drank enough to overcome yesterday’s sodium. Today my teeth & jaw hurt (sinus infection) so I’m thinking it may be a soup kind of day... 🍜

03/02: 203.0 - Yesterday suuuucked. Fortunately today is much better; no pain, just a bit of stuffiness & stiffness. I fully anticipate a bump in the scale tomorrow since I hardly ate yesterday. 👌🏼

Wt R68: 317.2

Day/Weight/Commment
2/22 - 315.8 - This was nice to see. And I have been sticking to my weighing plan. I’m still a little stressed from the other night; it kinda triggered my PTSD. BUT I am calmer this afternoon. Food has still been good; it’s just been more of a struggle.
2/23 - NW - Yesterday, I was on par with eating, maybe a little light due to being out of the apartment during key eating times. Today, similar thing and I am out of olives, BUT I have a plan. I did a heartbreaking episode of Zombies, Run! yesterday and will do another one today. Since the sun has come out I am going to do it outside instead of pacing in my apartment or walking circles around the community room. As the weather turns to more warm days I will start doing Z5K training, AGAIN, but this time I should be able to finish it. I have hope for more activity in the future.
2/24 - 312.2 - I walked outside yesterday! It's more challenging outside with the ups and downs of the landscape vs the flat ground of the community room or my apartment, and I loved every moment of it. If it's not too cold I'm going to repeat it today, just a supply run not a full episode of Zombies, Run! Food is fairly on point according to the sheet the dietitian gave me. I'm settling down emotionally from the trigger earlier in the week.
2/25 - NW - The temperature dropped, so even though it was sunny I couldn't go outside to walk. I did a supply run on Zombies, Run! for 47 minutes (new record walking), and then later I did an episode of Zombies, Run!. The episode was good and tugged at my heart a little. I also finally learned about project Greenshoot, why runner 5 originally came to Able Township back in season 1. So, it was a good episode. My food supplies are running low, critically low and I have no resources; so, tomorrow my CSS is taking me to Crosslines to pick up some food. I'm not crazy about going to food pantries as it's not a lot healthy stuff, but won't matter if I end up starving either. In the meantime I'm managing to eat healthy based off of what I have on hand.
2/26 - 308.4 - I walked outside again yesterday. I threw on my light covering and went despite the wind. The sun was (and is) shining! The community room was taken by people playing Bingo, and I did not feel like pacing in my apartment when it was so beautiful outside. I stayed to the sheet my dietitian gave me, and it's made a huge difference. I feel better as I am getting my nutrients in, particularly protein.
2/27 - NW - Today was my last day at pulmonary rehabilitation, and I improved by 20% in just six weeks (12 sessions). It was a good workout, lasted about an hour, and I plan on taking advantage of my insurance program to get a membership at the Y. The weather has turned for the worse; so, no more walking outside for awhile. We are getting ice tonight. I did walk outside doing an episode of Zombies, Run!
2/28 - 310.0 - Bit flux up, not sure why, but, eh, not worried about it either; I mean I'm still down 7 pounds in seven days. I plan on doing two episodes of Zombies, Run! today. I'm curious how we come out of being surrounded by 500 zombies being controlled by a madman. I'm not going outside, I can see the ice on the trees which mean slick sidewalks. I have to go out tomorrow as I have an appointment and need to get money orders for rent and cable/Internet. Nutrition is doing good.
3/01 - NW - Holy busy day. I woke up at 7 and took the med that has to be taken an hour BEFORE I can eat. An hour later my ride showed up. I went to my appointment, resisted the temptation to have Subway while I waited for my ride to pick me up after the appointment. I didn't get home until time for lunch! A few hours later I trekked out on the bus to renew my bus pass, get my money orders for rent and cable/Internet, get some yogurt, and then went home. Got home and schedule changed again, but it meant I could get in an episode of Zombies, Run! It wouldn't download the recent episode so I just went back to the beginning. I think I am going to rework through the old episodes for fun! Now, at last the day is done, food is done (well, still going to have a couple of Halos and water). Time to just relax!

2/22/19 164.8. 70 mins treadmill - still can't get back on the trails this weekend, very heavy rain last few days so it'll be a quagmire out there. Calories OK, tracked.
2/23/19 164.4 90 mins treadmill. Beautiful sunny day today, warmer but still cool for SoCal. Going out for dinner tonight, already tracked what I'm going to eat but don't know exact calories so will probably be over. Really need to see some good loss this round.
2/24/19 163.6 90 mins treadmill. Good Sunday...I normally 'break the budget' on Sunday!!
2/25/19 163.6 70 mins treadmill. Calories only just in, had a good home cooked dinner. Very long, stressful day at school, was just wishing it would be over
2/26/19 163.8 Rest day...needed more sleep.
2/27/19 164 Treadmill 60 mins. Scale not going the right way. Very tough day at work, landed up in the ER for a couple of hours, patched up and back to work. Earned my crust today for sure. Going to bed early, feeling a little low to be honest. Tomorrow is a new day!
2/28/19 Did not weigh this morning. Work day was much better! Calories are over but I'm not as tired, a plus! Still tracked. 163.8 Treadmill 70 mins. Haven't tracked yet but probably be over - just been out for dinner but feeling good. Looking forward to a quiet weekend! Have a good one everyone!

Hey all!
So, I am not new to this challenge. I have been here several times. Each and every time I used to Join with excitement but would end up giving up in the middle as my weight loss was so frustrating. I think I have completed only one round so far and all other rounds were incomplete. I didn't know the exact cause why I didn't lose weight despite all the hardwork I have put in. Just had my blood tests few days back and found to have "hypothyroidism". Now on my thyroid supplement and hoping the scale will move down atleast from now. So I hope this is the best time to join back in this challenge.

I'm 28 y/f
