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!
03/02 135.6 lbs. I would be so happy to end the round with this weight. I did another jog yesterday for 30 minutes and went 2.72 miles. My ultimate goal is to do 3.1 miles (5K) in under 30 minutes. 12,600 steps yesterday. I am expecting today will be much less active, the rain has returned and it's pouring. But I might go dancing tonight which is definitely good for getting me up and going but also making drinking a higher possibility. Maybe I should just treat myself...

26/02
Just back from the Czech Republic last night, loosely logged whilst I was there, I had shark week, a lot of beer and ate out a lot whilst I was travelling and around 4 hours of flying so expect weight to come down again next couple of days. Tweaked my calorie intake again to 1500 net on Active Rest Days & 1800 net on Active Days.
27/02
Took the decision yesterday that I'm going to drop the Pole Dancing until training season for rowing is over, it was a tough choice, but it's cutting into time I could better use for Strength Training, Yoga and Sleep. It's also messing with my food planning as I'm rushing out the door after work. Hopefully the decision will help me better achieve my goals, because the last 3 months I don't seem to have been getting anywhere. I need to get my NEAT back up and start bulking out my meals again so I feel fuller longer. I'm having a trial run at this stuff this week and will adjust as needed for March.
28/02
Lovely row this morning, just over 6.5km at a decent pace, the rain decided to ease off at least after my cycle in (typical). Feeling ok despite the drop in calories, not too ravenous. Goals for today are to stick to planned food, shouldn't be too difficult as the food is already made, take my vitamins, stay hydrated and to get my bathroom break exercises done (I do 20 bodyweight squats and wall push ups each time I go to the bathroom at work).
01/03
Slightly longer walk into work from boyfriends place, have a walk home too the last pole dancing class this evening. Will probably cycle up to/back from that. Food is planned for the day.
Didn't go exactly to plan yesterday as had to rush out the door for a training thing, boyfriend then promptly fed me some sandwiches, which took me over my calorie allowance. Doh! Shouldn't have too much impact long term as I've been in a higher deficit the rest of the week than normal (running about 3000 cal deficit so far this week).
Goals for today are to hit calorie & nutrition targets and to switch off from work this evening.
02/03
Small deficit achieved yesterday, was starving after pole dancing so had a bit of a snack attack, did myself a bit of an injury yesterday so may well skip strength training today and just do a bit of walking in the rain. Goals for today, eat under maintenance and relax.

Day/Weight/Comment
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?)
03/02: 243.2 - happy to see this going in the right direction again. I'm hoping I hit my goal for this round but a two pound drop overnight is a lot. At this point I'm happy to be down 5 lbs from my beginning weight. I look at this like I look at my golf game: as long as I'm moving forward, I'm doing ok.

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!
03/02 - 147
Ugh. But okay, I've done this all by myself, and I can undo it again. I was a little over my calorie goal yesterday but not with gobs of sugar, so some of this is catch-up from previous days. I have today planned and within bounds and I'm off to the Y now for weights & walking/biking. All good. Have a lovely weekend!

02/23. 191.4 was well below calories due to gastric issues. Should have a normal tracking day today.
02/24. 193.4 expected this after a few days of very low calories count. Also had a nice dinner and wine last night.
02/25. 191.8. Really been up and down last few days, but yesterday I was back on the Plan!
02/26. 191.6. Getting back to my lowest point from the last round, so happy.
02/27. 191.2. Happy, this was was the lowest point I hit last week. Fingers crossed I can stay here for more than a minute this time.
02/28. 191.0.
03/01. 191.2.
03/02. 190.0. Happy, getting closer to the 80’s which I have not seen in long, long time. Keeping tracking!

Round 69 SW: 215
02/22—214—Dropping that water back off. I did 51 straight knee pushups this morning. Over halfway to my goal!
02/23—214.4
02/24—216.2
02/25—215.2
02/26—215
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.
03/02—211.8—That makes over 40 pounds lost.I'm feeling fairly smug.

@ConfidentRaven, I love my MIL. She's wonderful. But you sound much calmer than I would be about my MIL moving in, just because I tend to stress out about things like that! But your goal sounds perfect.6 -

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!

03/01 356.4 I'm a little surprised because I wasn't so great with water or steps yesterday. I also ended up getting some ice cream because my son ate half my dinner because he didn't realize I hadn't gotten a chance to serve myself food. But I did learned that I can have ice cream without over eating it. I'm happy I've found a treat to add in now and again that doesn't cause me to binge. My goal for the week will be not to binge or stress eat, I have my mother in law moving in on Sunday or Monday. We get along ok, but there's a lot of moving of items and spring cleaning that I'm doing to make sure she has the space for her and her things.
I’ve found ice cream bars & popsicles to be excellent for this. I struggle with identifying a proper “serving” scooping from a tub of ice cream, but a chocolate-dipped ice cream bar is delightful in its simplicity!
I'm with you! Some are so good, and they make my brain think "this is a serving. I don't need more."4 -

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.
10,282 steps, 60 minutes on elliptical, 64 oz of water
03/02 -156, didn’t eat great yesterday— meals and times were all over the place, skipped dinner, and was away to long so had a taco from a taqueria for lunch at 3pm (very salty, but really tasty). Today I have a meeting and then afternoon tea with an organization I’m a member of. Hoping not to report a gain tomorrow, but this event is once a year so will enjoy it.

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!!!!!
3/2 -166-oops! I forgot to drink water and had so much running around to do that I ate lunch out instead of home. It’s raining and I can’t walk.....hmmmm. I guess I’ll sew until it stops raining. Have a good weekend everyone!!!!
I am glad all of you are here! I love reading all of your posts while I drink my coffee in the morning. ☕️🌷9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 …..188.8 ….. Bad start after pool hall & potluck. Yesterdays stats: 2032 Calories In / 2419 Calories Out. Net Carbs 156. 11,586 Total Steps & 4.9 Miles. IF 16:8. I slept 4 hours & 38 minutes. I walked 34 minutes outdoors & danced 22 minutes. Sample song “ Here comes my girl” by Tom Petty. That one put me in a great mood because of the nice vibe. Good luck on this round everyone!
02/23 …..189.0 ….. Here goes my embarrassing stats: 2653 Calories In / 2248 Calories out. 198 Net Carbs (the little Debbies are so much worse than the Oreos!). 10,183 Total Steps & 4.32 Miles. No IF yesterday. I slept 4 hours & 12 minutes & suffered severe Restless Leg Syndrome all night from the sugar. I very briskly walked for 17 minutes but did not dance yesterday.
02/24 ….. 189.0 ….. I am trusting the process here. Good day yesterday. 1111 Calories in / 2369 Calories Out. 14 Net Carbs. 13,161 Total Steps & 5.57 Total Miles. IF 17:7. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my fitbit overnight, but got over 5 hours of sleep. I danced for 41 minutes, Sample Song “The Wanderer” by Dion. Tons of work today. I will get my steps in no problem. Have a great day everyone!
02/25 …..188.6 ….. Slowly melting pound. But every little bit counts, right? Yesterdays stats: 1350 Calories In / 2455 Calories Out. 23 Net which was mostly veggies in my Curry bowl & 1 c. of Fairlife 2% milk. 14,200 Total Steps & 6.04 Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 13 min which was phenomenal! I took a very brisk & fast outdoor 10 minute walk & I danced for 40 minutes. Sample song “ Another one bites the dust” by Queen in honor of their Oscar performance where they sang “We are the Champions.” I enjoyed my evening watching the Academy Awards & especially liked seeing Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper perform “Shallow”. I agree with the critics that it was very “intimate”. But the nature of the movie & how it ended – just to be together again, I get it. Anyway, have a great week everyone.
02/26 ….. 188.0….. A very nice strong day again yesterday but no exercise. I worked late & then in-home movie night with my friend & son. Popcorn & hot cocoa for them. Water with grapefruit essential oil drops for me. It’s coming off very slowly but moving in the right direction. Cancelled travel plans for Thursday due to incoming weather. Yesterdays stats: 1381 Calories In / 2559 Calories Out. Net Carbs 19 including Peanut butter. 10,304 Total Steps & 4.36 Total Miles. If 15:9. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 14 minutes. Woke up feeling refreshed but that may change later. No dancing. I missed the music but enjoyed the movie.
02/27 ….. 187.6….. Another day on plan. 1189 Calories In / 2470 Calories Out. 36 Net Carbs. 13,170 Total Steps & 5.58 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 24 minutes and needed every second of it after very little sleep the night before. I walked 23 minutes at a moderate pace & I danced for 44 minutes. Sample song “Good Old Fashioned Lover boy” by Queen. Thank you to @shunggie for that one. She is right. A perfect dance song & lots of fun. Bad weather today so a long-distance doctor appointment was cancelled. However, tomorrow is an out-of-town to shop for a baby shower on Saturday. Watched a movie with my son. He had a small nachos & some Hershey’s special dark chocolate for a snack. I had Vanilla chai Tea with a hint of Stevia. I was proud of myself today!
02/28 …..188.8 ….. That is what pizza & German Chocolate cake does. I went to a friends & that was the menu. Bloated all night. Feeling bad from the sugar. I have no idea of the exact calories or Net Carbs. My best guess is about 2200 Calories & 200 Net Carbs based on MFP logging which I did my best to figure out. Calories Out 2363. 9,241 Steps & 3.91 Miles. IF 14:10 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours and 41 minutes but feels like none. Very tired today & taking a road trip out of town unexpected so this is going to be a yucky slow moving day. Probably restaurants involved. No chance at redemption for several days. Only one day at home left this round. This will not end well I’m sure. Not even much opportunity to get any exercise in. Ugg. No dancing yesterday since I was away from home. Feeling a little depressed right now. It takes so little to derail days & days of hard work. I know we’ve all been there but it really stinks. I hope you all will have a good day.
03/01 ….. ….. Travel no weigh.
03/02 …..188.8 ….. busy busy playing catch-up after being gone yesterday. Lots of work at home & at work. Baby shower is today, Saturday, which is also out of town. I had my days mixed up. Weight tomorrow will likely be up.
03/03 ….. …..

03/01 356.4 I'm a little surprised because I wasn't so great with water or steps yesterday. I also ended up getting some ice cream because my son ate half my dinner because he didn't realize I hadn't gotten a chance to serve myself food. But I did learned that I can have ice cream without over eating it. I'm happy I've found a treat to add in now and again that doesn't cause me to binge. My goal for the week will be not to binge or stress eat, I have my mother in law moving in on Sunday or Monday. We get along ok, but there's a lot of moving of items and spring cleaning that I'm doing to make sure she has the space for her and her things.
I’ve found ice cream bars & popsicles to be excellent for this. I struggle with identifying a proper “serving” scooping from a tub of ice cream, but a chocolate-dipped ice cream bar is delightful in its simplicity!
That’s a good idea and I bet that it’s harder to say well a little more won’t hurt.5 -

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 69
2/22* Day 615 (?) of logging Bad food choices, not enough water.
2/23* Not drinking enough water
2/24* Cruise Day 7 I feel I’m not eating right at all but my small jeans (the only ones I brought) still fit.
2/25* Back in Long Beach until about 6. For about an hour we were the only 2 passengers onboard.
2/26* Catalina - lots of steps
2/27* Ensenada - met my step goal before 1, walking in the shops and back to the ship.
2/28* Sea day. Food tasting in the kitchen at 5:15 so I didn’t eat dinner!
3/1 * Home in the afternoon, lun-ner with the friends who are picking us up at the airport.
3/2 131.0 Considering what I have eaten in the last 12 days, I’m quite happy. Today I’m going with a couple of friends to check out the site for our quilt retreat in September.7 -

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.
