Height: 5'9"
SW: 99.2kg | UGW: 70kg

Disappointing round 69 after the success of 68! But onwards and downward!

I really really want to lose a lot of this weight before April 2019 as I want to wow everyone when I cross the stage to pick up my MSc! :-)

Day/Weight/Comment
03/04 99.5 sorry.... What?!?! How?!?! So i don't run for 4 days and all my hard work reverses itself....?! Come on! Feeling very disheartened but my graduation is in 32 days so I need to focus 10000000000%! Have a feeling the weight gain is water in preparation for TOM but it still makes you doubt what you're doing and why you are bothering! Head up and just keep swimming!
03/05 97.5 now that's what i call a whoosh! trying to steel myself for today… mix of my dad's 79th birthday (unfortunately he passed away 2 years ago) and pancake Tuesday blended with fettisdagen! Fettisdagen is the Swedish equivalent of pancake Tuesday but instead of pancakes they have the yummyist cream filled sweet buns called a semla! So I've gone for a run this morning and I plan on keeping calories down so I can have one this evening! So I have an emotion filled day with food that would be awful for an emotional eater.... Really need to keep my headspace right today!
03/06 98.0 okay, These fluctuations are driving me insane! Possibly the pancakes in there too so it'll go! I was good yesterday, only a small stack of homemade American style pancakes and one homemade semla.
03/07 98.0 hmm.. Guess i should be happy it's not going up?!?! Still a week to get to my target… no bother… ?!?!

Round 70
Day/Weight/Comment
03/04 – 215.8 not sure about today’s weight. I am glad it did not go up so that a good sign. Well tomorrow is another day.
03/05 – 214 I wasn’t sure how this was going but glad it is lower. I do everything right so always want to see lower. I forgot to mention because I am in another challenge I started trying exercise more, besides the walking I do when I get the grandson. I started Sunday, the body is sore but it still feels good.
03/06 – 214.6 oh well the joys of weighing every day up and down. I am starting to let these small amounts bother me. However, all that matters is the end results. I have been exercising and eating right so not going to worry about an increase or make any excuses. On to the next day.

Life took over the last few weeks with the girls' competition, weekend away with the grandkids, continuing building works and so so busy! Too much going on - I need to find a little bit of time to look after me!
So I'm back again and starting a day late this round but SSSOOO need to get back on track - seem to do so much better when I'm on these challenges.

My target or the round is to be back under 150.....

03/05 - 152.40lb - result of a weekend away with the eldest son, daughter in law and the grandkids and no control over what I ate! Unsurprisingly I don't feel any better for it in any way at all. Food prepped for the day and planning to squeeze in a gym session tonight. Main aim for today is to stay in control and drink plenty of water

03/06 - 151.10lb (down 1.30lb) Happy with this and even managed to build in a pancake last night after tea! Onwards and downwards!

03/07 - 150.80lb (down 0.30lb) all going well and just about fitted in time some me time yesterday between work, school runs and taking the girls to cheer practice as well to go for a walk yesterday so did my 10k steps for the day. Still feeling bloated so will keep chugging the water today and am going to try and drink more green tea today rather than my usual coffees and tea. On track to meet my round goal of under 150

Previous Daily Summaries
06/03
Well I don't know if I have just been dehydrated last 2 days (I don't think I have) but there was some drop on the scale the last 2 days compared to normal, I've checked my scale with some dumbbells and all seems to be in order. I did start taking some electrolyte supplements, so maybe they just helped release some of the water I've been carrying over shark week, workouts and recent flying. Today's goals are to get some strength training and steps in.

Mon 03/04 72.0kg (-0.4) Yesterday: 🚶‍♀️11k 🧘🍷📖2500+cals
Posting really late today. I've been having a craving and just checked and TOM is due this week, so that would explain that and maybe also my tiredness. I tried to satisfy the craving it over the weekend and went waaaay over calories. But now I know what I'm dealing with.
This month is going to be difficult, my last days in London this week, so I'm nervous about the move, new job and have a fair bit of travelling back and forth on top of being in temporary accommodation, new supermarkets etc.
Anyway, trying to find motivation to stick with my goals and keep doing what I need to go do get this weight down.
Tue 03/05 72.0kg (-+0) Yesterday: 🚶‍♀️12k+🧘🍷📖1855cals
Bah, all I wanna do is snack. Half my cals were from snacks yesterday and despite going for a walk, I didn't make my steps.
Wed 03/06 kg 71.5(-0.5) Yesterday: 🚶‍♀️22k+🏃‍♀️🥊🧘🍷📖🥗1688cals
Oh that's a little woosh Good day yesterday, well within cals with a lot of excercise, over 1100cals burned according to fitbit.
Today is a rest day and date night, not a great combination. But I need a rest day and will enjoy the night and not watch my food or drinks. We have our anniversary for starting dating next week and I won't be here. Before that, I have so start actual packing, as in putting stuff in the suitcase, deciding my work outfits for the first couple of weeks. I'll also have a last dash to the shopping centre and should get my steps in that way and will keep my daytime cals to the minimum.

Thu 03/07 72.0kg (+0.5) Yesterday: 🚶‍♀️🧘📖2900+cals
I had several readings on my scale, I think it might need a new battery, 72kg came up several times and makes most sense given last night.
Yesterday, all evening cals were estimated and we had a great night, discussing all things about our move, a new home options etc. I started to actually put stuff in my suitcase. This means it's getting serious...
Today should be a good day, I have a Muay Thai PT session this afternoon so I have all the basics down before I start in a new gym. Otherwise, more packing and getting documents sorted for the new job. Only challenge could be to get my steps in. I'm supposed to run today ( I'm doing a Nike+ run club coached plan) but don't want to do that before the PT session. I'll have time to do that tomorrow instead.

@texasfarmer Great to see you back!

@jennyhoon Welcome to the discussion. Your exercise is great! I have to agree with @quiltingjaine that losing 15-25 lb. in 10 days doesn't sound reasonable or healthy. Don't be discouraged or disappointed with a smaller number. If you think about it, it's unlikely you ever gained 15-25 lb. in a 10-day period. Just be persistent, and you'll do great!

@sue_01 I wasn't as disciplined as you! It wasn't freezing, but I let the wind deter me from walking today.

@FarmerCarla - thank you! It is such a struggle, but I am trying to fight it.

03/06 - 197.6 - this is typically where my weight rests, in the 5+/- this number. Ready to see -5 from here!
03/07 - 196.4 - I love how easily the weight drops at the beginning. I checked my glucose level this morning (my daughter has T1D) and I’m down 4-10 points, depending on the day I tested. Only 5 more to normal fasting glucose levels!!

I'm the same! I tend to plateau at 202 and hover up and back down maybe 5lbs. I'm 5'11 though so this is not my ideal weight at all, probs ideal is around 170 so it's so annoying
