GOALS THIS ROUND reporting on all the "yesterdays":- under calorie goal 9/10 days: 4/10 so far
- over 10K steps 9/10 days: 5/10 so far
- three strength workouts: 1.5/3 so far
- five cardio workouts: 2/5 so far
3/4 - 134.6 - yesterday wildly over calories, a stress-tired-emo eating day. 5K steps.
Today starting a wellness campaign at work where my goal is 10K steps a day, 5 servings of veg and fruit.
3/5 - 133.4 - yesterday under calorie goal, 12K steps including a 2 mile run with my new (canine) running buddy. Raining today, so getting steps in may be a challenge. Gonna try for 30 flights of the basement stairs at work.
3/6 - 133.4 - yesterday under calorie goal, 10K steps, nice walk at lunchtime. Did 20 flights of stairs, trying for the full 30 today.
3/7 - 132.2 - yesterday under calorie goal, 10K steps, did not manage any stairs since I got absolutely nailed to my desk by emergencies; however got a nice bodyweight strength workout in at home.
3/8 - 133.0 - yesterday a smidge over maint, 13K steps and a run with dogger. Fell running and got some rad rash on my knee... going to work in skinny jeans , which are literally all I have, is unappealing
3/9 -132.8 - yesterday under calorie goal, 7K steps and a few sets of pushups/crunches. Knee a little swollen and stiff but no serious damage.
I owe my strong bones to all the running I did in my 40's and 50's, and tripping while I run is the price I have paid maybe a dozen times ... not coordinated ... I feel like I will be falling in my 80's and NOT breaking bones (in spite of all my osteo risk factors), and saying, thanks younger me for getting on with strength workouts and running! Weight bearing exercise is the BOMB, and in addition, gets me a lot more calories a day to eat!
3/10 -133.0 - yesterday 9K steps but over maintenance calories by 150 ... I did great till evening when I was tired. A few small strength exercises but knee still stiff and sore so nothing heavy duty yet.
3/11 - 133.8 - yesterday violently over calories, eating to flee an illumination and comfort the unexpected 4 hours at work. Eventually got the illumination anyway and feeling so much better today! 6500 steps, did take a walk with dog but knee definitely still sore from the fall last week.

Hi. I'm joining back in for this round late! Why wait for the next one when you can start today!
OSW 199 (June 15 2018)
Female, 5' 4 1/2 " age 53
This is my seventeenth round. I have been out of touch for a few weeks. After helping chaperone my son's theater trip to NYC, I got appendicitis! The timing was perfect, as I neither missed the trip, nor had to have my appendix out in New York, but safely made it back home with a burgeoning stomach ache--which sent me to the ER the following day! I decided to go ahead and join now, as I've missed you all. I only sort of caught up on your posts, sorry for all that I have missed!

Current weight: 141.5lb - it has been a long and slow journey with too many sweet things and food impulses on the way! Have eaten off track this weekend - girls round to mine for dinner!! Still eating leftovers!!
Day/Weight/Comment
03/04 – 143.6lb – I’m up, but knew I would be, as I was eating the left-overs from Saturday’s girl’s night which I hosted! I went for a 70s theme – prawn cocktail, duck a l’orange with steamed veg, finishing with baked Alaska! Unfortunately, I’m not so good at chucking away food. Today was better though, with a good breakfast, salad for lunch and salmon curry with rice for dinner. OK, I did have a couple of sandwiches in the afternoon. But, my NSV was instead of raiding the cupboards before going out to the gym, I read some people’s threads and thought better of it! Thanks!!!
03/05 – 143.2lb – down slightly, but could have been up so much more if I hadn’t read the threads on this page! It was a busy day at work, with no time for a proper evening meal, so had a hot lunch. It was ok but I would have preferred to have had a hot evening meal at home instead! Just had 1 and a half pancakes in recognition of Shrove Tuesday. My husband kindly made these without much oil in the pan, he then swore because the batter stuck to the pan! I was just grateful for a cup of tea and a pancake!
03/06 – 141.6lb – perhaps I should eat 1.5 pancakes more often!!! Or perhaps I should stay at work and eat hot lunch instead of evening meal at home?! Off to combat soon and a bit more walking to ensure I get my 10,000 steps done!
03/07 – 142.5lb – not sure how I could be a pound up, as I worked hard at body combat and did get my steps in! Perhaps it’s a one day lag from eating pancakes on Tuesday? Eating out tonight – walking there and back to a pub about 1.5 miles away. Did come back and have a couple of brandies though!
03/08 – 142.2lb – despite eating out last night (including cheese and chips, but no wine!) I’m down a little bit. Not enough mind! Did have a couple of chocolate biscuits at work – just because they were there!!! Eating at home tonight, but I am enjoying a naughty glass of wine – the scales will punish me tomorrow! I am good at self-sabotage!!
03/09 – 142.5lb – had porridge for breakfast and had an indulgent cheese and tuna toastie for lunch. Managed to get my target for 10,000 steps completed and managed to do slightly over!
03/10 – 141.9lb – got up reasonably early for a swim. I always mis-count so did extra to ensure I did 40 lengths. I actually did 42! Breakfast was lovely with a couple of poached eggs on a piece of unbuttered wholemeal toast with a side order of baked beans. Would love to get below 140lb – I exercise an ok amount, so it must be my portion control and self-sabotage!
03/11 – 143.4lb – Grrrr! Always seem to put on at the weekend. Perhaps I need to drink more water and be more aware of what I am eating, rather than just going with the flow and helping for the best!!!
@ JillMarieRonkko – I don’t know if you’ve had lots of help from others, but I would recommend acupuncture. It’s doing wonders for me!

March 04: 203.8 - Down a bit from my “TOM bump” but still 0.8 above my low. 📈
March 05: 203.8 - Trying not to be irritated by the lack of scale movement. It’ll show up eventually... 😒
March 06: 203.0 - Broke through the bloat. Hopefully I’ll be able to see some real progress soon. 👍🏼
March 07: 203.0 - *sigh* ⏰
March 08: 203.2 - I have no idea what’s going on. I’ve been under target all week. Perhaps not as well-hydrated as usual, so today I’ll focus on that. 💧
March 09: 202.6 - Fiiiiiiinally! 📉
March 10: 202.6 - The scale taunted me today, flickering lower for a moment. I’m just glad the drop has stuck! 🤷🏻♀️
March 11: 202.4 - Hey, there’s that lower number! ☺️
March 12: 202.8 - Not surprised; we had a salty dinner last night. My calves were trying to cramp overnight so I know I was dehydrated. Starting with a L of water this morning. 💦

Thanks for support and being here. The struggle is real for me this year. If I could just be consistent about going in the right direction. Scale came and sending it back. Decided just going to keep old scale When I did that summary at the end of round 69 and saw I am up 9 pounds this year, that it is. I am going to get that number down and out of the red zone!! Starting today!!

Net change 2019 = (+9)- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/04 185.8 Well starting off on a good path today. Had a great session in the gym, lots of energy and lifts going up! Eating today was on calorie target, as well.
03/05 185.2 getting closer! Day 2 of yoga 30 day challenge completion. Drinking all the water today too.
03/06 185.0 sigh, well I shouldn't complain. Better than the alternative. Day 3 Yoga in the books, eating is on track other than I had a BIG oatmeal raisin cookie with my kale salad for lunch. I forgot I have a girl's night tonight so now I need to watch it for the rest of the day! "Spaghetti" squash casserole for dinner.
03/07 184.6 looks good, a couple ounces down. Good lifts today in the gym, I have been feeling pretty good in my body thanks to the yoga. Lots more flexibility and less aches and pains! Birthday dinner for my sis at a snazzy restaurant tonight.. Should be challenging
03/08 186.8 Well hello salty dinner. I did fine considering. Shrimp cocktail for appetizer, only small piece of bread, a couple of pomme frites and couple ounces steak. Split a dessert with the birthday girl instead of ordering a whole one just for me! Hope it goes away quickly. Yoga day 4 coming up today.
03/09 186.0 Ate over calories today bc we ate out, even thought i only ate half my dinner!
03/10 186.8
03/11 186.8 Day 5 of Yoga and 45 minutes cardio. Scale still ain't movin. I think I need to drop my calories a bit, I have been trying to eat closer to maintenance bc I'm exercising a lot but I think it's TOO close.. sad but true

Day/Weight/Comment
03/04--213.1 Went out for breakfast at my favorite place. Didn't drink much water the whole weekend...have to work on that today. Run day today.
03/05--212.9 There was some stress snacking yesterday evening, but I did get out yesterday and finish w6d2 and the run was great. Today is weight training. Working on getting in water today.
03/06--211.2 Had a great training session yesterday as it was the first time I was able to get through all 3 rounds of all of the exercises within my 1 hour training session. The first time I did the exercise routine about 3 weeks ago I wasn't even able to finish 2 rounds. Yoga tonight.
03/07--211.8 Yoga yesterday was great, but I'm tired this morning after being awoken by my sick dog throughout the night. Hubby is bringing dog to vet today. Weight training tonight, but considering how tired I am not sure how motivated I will be.
03/08--212.3 Even though I was tired yesterday I had one of my best workouts with my trainer last night, I increased weight on my lifts and time on my planks. The dog is feeling much better today, but what is even better is that over the past year after my vet told me my dog needed to lose about 10lbs, my dog has lost 12lbs. It's funny, her weight loss came from proper measuring of her food, reducing her snacks, and increasing her activity...exactly what I'm doing. Run day today.
03/09--213.6 I feel bloated today. I had eaten most of daily calories by 1pm yesterday and continued my normal eating for the rest of the day. However, I still finished W6D3 yesterday and I've already gone to the gym this morning and did my weighlifting workout. Rest of day is to run some errands and relax.
03/10--213.1 Feeling heavy today. I found this new snack that I thought fit into my current food sensitivity diet, but I snacked on too many of them and I think there is also something in them that is bothering my system. I gave my husband the rest of the snacks for him to bring to work. I was planning on doing a run today, but my legs are feeling heavy so I think today will be my rest day and I will go for a run tomorrow and I will probably just go for a gentle walk with the dog later today. Going to the movies today and planning on having popcorn.
03/11--212.5 Finished W7D1 today. Went out for lunch today.

03/10 197.0. Back down to where I was a couple weeks ago. My body decided to have the period a week early, the same week I started my new job 😡 I’m going through perimenopause and NOT having a good time with it. I have severe acne which I’ve never had before and so I’ve been doing a lot of reading about food and supplements and pretty much using my body as a test. I don’t like doctors or medicine and believe food heals (or hurts) the body. But I know, obviously, that my hormones are out of wack and maybe a few other issues. I’ve always had a smoothie for breakfast, recently changing the ingredients for more anti inflammatory foods, being conscious to stay away from estrogen spiking supplements. And I now have a fresh produce juice at night. Salad and protein for lunch and a protein for dinner. I’m curious to know what has helped others get through “the change”?
03/11 198.0. I’m ok with the 1 pound gain. Today I ate according to plan and got on the treadmill. I’m still trying to love it, but I know it’s best for my body and health to get movement in. I put the Fitbit back on after it’s been sitting on my side table for a good three months. It helps that I can finally see an end to winter; longer days and warmer (slowly) days! 😀

Round 70. 6th round for me. 51 YO female; 5'2"; Mum of 2 grown boys; wife of 1;) Live in San Diego, formerly of Zimbabwe and Zambia.
This challenge:- Really focus on meal planning / shopping. Paying close attention to what goes into my mouth and asking myself "is it worth the calories?". Often it's not! I'm eating like I used to when I was marathon training...always gave myself a treat! New Fitbit Versa keeping the numbers going - loving it so far.
Mini goal:- 164 - into 'just fat' and out of obese. I met this and then jumped back up
Mini goal:- 160 - just a nice round number - and hopefully me not looking so round!
UGoal:- 134
Round 65 SW 170.6

Round 67 SW 167
Round 68 SW 166.2
Round 69 SW 164.8
Round 70 SW 164
Day/Weight/Comment
03/04- 164. Not feeling too good about that number, but it is what it is. 70 mins treadmill, calories well within range, tracked.
03/05- 163.8 70 mins treadmill as usual for a weekday. Calories OK, went to the local farmers market and got a coconut chicken curry. Difficult to know the calories. It really was very good though and halved it for lunch tomorrow! And some delicious strawberries - always so much nicer than the store bought.
03/06- 164. Took a rest day today although just wish I'd just got up usual time and got on the treadmill. It really does set me up for a better day at school. Calories are over today but tracked all the same.

03/10 - 164.2 Have really neglected my postings. I'm officially 'stuck' - keep yo-yoing around 164 and am really detesting that number - it's sticking it's tongue out at me!! HOWEVER - I've been baking hot cross buns and although DH eats most of them, even 1/ day is too many. I've prepped for the work week though and DH is away, so I should be able to make better food choices.

03/04/19 216#. I was gone for a bit, but I'm starting back up with y'all. I look forward to joining back up with round 70. I've been tracking on my own for about 4 rounds, so my days are starting over on 3/4/19 😉. I didn't eat very well today. Was completely stuffed at dinner.
03/05 217#. Third workout. It's Fat Tuesday. Lent starts tomorrow. Changes await me. I ate terrible again today. Got over 10,000 steps.
03/06 217# Ash Wednesday. A day of fasting and abstinence from meat. I guess this good makeup for Fat Tuesday. Did good today. Fought many urges to eat at the potluck. 4th workout.
03/07 213.8#. 4.2# down. I think I've made the best homemade mac n cheese yet! Went over in calories, mom brought dessert into work. How do I say no? It was all homemade though...
03/08 214#. It's Friday! No meat. Fasting.
03/09 212.6#. Gave into my cravings last night. Only went over my calories a little bit.
03/10 213.2#.
03/11 211.4# Ate when I was hungry today. I almost waited too long.

Ready for my round 7
OSW 88KG
RSW 79.3kg (-8.7 kg) or {19.1 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started!
Round 70
03/04 79.0 kg. That's 1kg off in 2 days. Met my 2nd mini goal of losing 10% of my weight and now 75kg is my next mini goal.
03/05 79.5 or maybe 79.1kg. Scale couldn't decide! Either way it's a loss overall and I'm still keeping within my calories and macros. Ran yesterday and will do push ups etc today.
03/06 79.9kg. No idea where the gain is coming from so I'm just going to trust the process and keep on.
03/07 79.9kg still here and it's still raining!
03/08 79.0kg again. And it's still raining and the whole place is waterlogged. So no running today.
03/09 78.5 kg and it has finally stopped raining.
03/10 78.1kg on official weigh in day. Which is only 100g away from 10kg total loss. And the sun is out!
03/11 78.1kg and finally its dry enough for a run. Nike+ says an easy one so I complied!
03/12 78.3kg slight blip up for no reason except its Tuesday!
