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! 😀
03/12 197.6 down a little bit. I did make it onto the treadmill for about a half hour. I’m loving the juicing, not sure if I’m seeing much change in my skin yet, though. Staying positive!
03/13

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 78.25kg slight blip up for no reason except its Tuesday!
03/13 78. 1kg no alarm this morning so I didn't run. Will try to go later and realised I've been lazy with push up challenge so will get back onto that.

End Results: - 1.2kg {2.6lbs}

I am in for my fourth round.. Not loosing as much weight as I expected but still hanging in there. Good luck to all of us..

8lb loss this round woop woop for me!!!

Hello! I’m still here, just about..

5"8, aged 43

OSW 145lbs
CW 140lbs
GW 132lbs

03/04 140lbs
03/05 139.8lbs
03/06 141.0lbs
03/07 138.4 (gym - legs + 5 mile easy run)
03/08 Didn't weigh
03/09 140.2 (30 mile bike ride)
03/10 139.8 (19 mile bike ride)
03/11 139.8 (1hr spin class)
03/12 Didn't weigh
03/13 138.6 (weights & 2 mile easy run)

That gives me an average of 139.7lbs which isn't as much as I was hoping for. I think the lesson I've learned this round is: 1200 cals is not sustainable given the amount of exercise I am doing, so for the next round I'm upping to about 1600 calories and making sure I log everything.

Round 69: 126.3 -> 125 (1.3 lb loss)

4 March: 124.8 lbs * Thrilled to be back for my second round! I have a few tricky days coming up so I'm thankful to have this challenge to help me stay accountable. My goal this round is to get down to 124 (or my more ambitious goal of 123.8).

5 March: 124 lbs * Quite the dramatic drop. And while technically my Round 70 'goal weight', I don't trust it'll stick around. Seems a bit too good to be true, but we'll see. Best of luck to everyone on the glorious and terrifying Pancake Day. I have calories put aside to indulge for dessert tonight!

6 March: 124 lbs * Day 3 of being in the 124s and I couldn't be happier. Very eager to see the elusive 123s! Since it was a food based day yesterday (Pancake Day!), I put 550 calories aside and ate a giant stack of homemade blueberry pancakes and maple syrup with my husband for dessert last night. This was an important day for me because I showed myself that I can participate in food related days/events without going over my calories and without derailing my progress.

7 March: 123.8 lbs * I'm super surprised about this weigh-in for a few reasons. First, I ate about 90% of my calories very close to my nightly eating cutoff of 8PM (homemade cheese and meat board night with my husband!). Second, I went over my daily calories by about 60 to have a piece of chocolate after all the delicious cheese. Third, my TOTM is due any day now and I've been feeling a bit bloated because of it. I felt everything was working against me and that I'd be up today, so I'm REALLY happy to see the scale go down and give me a taste of my 'ambitious round 70 goal'. Hello 123s! I hope I get to see you again tomorrow.

8 March: 124 lbs * TOTM arrived yesterday evening, so here's the slight gain I was anticipating. Feeling bloated and gross today, trying my hardest not to indulge in all the sweet things I used to eat for comfort. Made Nutella on toast for breakfast to keep the cravings at bay . Happy that the gain (if it can even really be counted as that) was so slight, I've had months where it was much, much worse than this. Staying positive and hoping to catch another glimpse of the 123s soon!

9 March: 123.5 lbs * Back to the 123s! I'm excited but also extremely surprised. TOTM was awful yesterday (still not great today) and I allowed myself to eat just a little under maintenance to help with the sluggishness I was feeling. And, let's be honest, I was craving ice cream. Just shows how unpredictable these daily fluctuations can be. Not sure if I'm eating at maintenance again today, I'm leaving the option open if I'm feeling particularly awful again.

10 March: 123.3 lbs * I didn't end up eating at maintenance again yesterday since I started feeling much better. TOTM cravings were running wild regardless. I wanted ice cream and pizza... so I ate it, stayed within my calories, and woke up to the scale having gone down a little this morning. Success! Before I started using MyFitnessPal, wanting pizza on a Saturday night meant eating a medium-large meat lovers pizza and a side by myself along with a litre of coke and more than likely some sort of high calorie sweet for dessert. Last night I enjoyed a small Hawaiian pizza with a glass of water and a 100ml tub of Häagen-Dazs and loved every bite of it! So happy I can keep these impulses in check and still treat myself. That feels like even more of a personal accomplishment than the actual weight loss.

11 March: 123.5 lbs * I did not drink enough water yesterday. Goal today is to have a glass with every meal and a few in between. TOTM is done at least! Really, really hoping I can stay in the 123s for the end of this round.

12 March: 122.8 lbs * I double checked this like 10 times because I thought for sure it was a mistake. I was so focused on the 123s I wasn't even thinking about the 122s, and here they are! Even if the fluctuations bring me back up a little tomorrow I'm still so excited to see a number this low.

13 March: 122.5 lbs * This is above and beyond what I expected from this round (my original round 70 goal was 124 and my 'ambitious goal' was 123.8!). I've put so much into being mindful of my calorie budget for the past 10 days and all the times I said no to eating something that would have thrown off my whole day now feels worth it. Two things I learned this round: 1) I can eat at maintenance once in a while and it won't hinder my progress and 2) I can still enjoy the foods I love (pancakes! pizza! ice cream!) as long as I budget for it. I have 6.5 lbs until my goal weight and I can't wait to continue chipping away at it in Round 71! Thanks to this group for inspiring me to keep going everyday!

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.
03/07 – 214.4
03/08 – 213.8
03/09 – 213.6
03/10 – 213.2 I will take this, little at a time considering I ate dinner at 7pm last night and it we ordered out and I kept it under calories. I didn’t really want to get up and move yesterday, had to really force myself. Overall was a good day.
03/11 – 211.6 OMG! I am surprised by this number. I expected it to be down in 212 something but this amazing. I do work hard, and stay within in calories and try to move more than I used to. I was putting the scale away and thought I better check again, and yep it was this amount, lol.
03/12 – 211.2 I had to wait for hubby to wake up to be able to weigh and get my coffee. He works second shift so have to wait in order not to wake him.
03/13 – 210.8

End Results: ↓5lbs – over all down 18.2lbs

I met a personal goal so was pleased with round - Goal 2 – March 22nd – 212 (personal 5 week goal) – Completed 211.6 (3/11)

R70 SW: 144.5 EW: 142 (-2.5)
Day/Weight/Comment

03/04 – 144 – Back to weight loss calories for the work week.
03/05 – 143 – I’m glad to see the number go back down.
03/06 – 142.5 – I had a stress snack attack at work yesterday, so I munched on some popcorn and had a handful of mixed nuts. It’s better than going for the cookies and chocolate in the break room, which is exactly how I’ve dealt with it in the past. My desk is stuffed full of healthier snack choices, I just need to make sure I’m not overeating the healthy snacks.
03/07 – 142 – It’s been a few weeks since I’ve seen this number.
03/08 – 142 – I had to run around to several client offices yesterday. One of my favorites is a local Italian restaurant. The owner surprised me with a personal pan mini pizza to eat while I was doing his books since I’d shown up during lunch time. (I usually eat lunch before I go out to his place because I don’t want to be tempted.) I ate the whole delicious thing. I skipped supper because I was still full from the pizza, but I’m still surprised it didn’t show up on the scale this morning from water retention. It may show up tomorrow, but I’m happy I’m still in the middle of maintenance range.
03/09 – 142.5 – Normal daily weight bounce. We’ve got out of town family coming to visit today and tomorrow. I’ll try to stick with maintenance calories while they’re here.
03/10 - 142.5 - When the Florida grandson comes to visit and he asks for fried chicken and pizza for dinner, we get fried chicken and pizza for dinner. I had one piece of each, so I didn't go crazy. I also had a couple beers with the son-in-law. No regrets.
03/11 – 143 – Not too bad for a Monday. Back on track for the week.
03/12 – 143 – I need to drink more water today!
03/13 – 142 – Trend weight is back down. See you next round!

Had to be at work so I couldn't risk throwing everything up so I just did what I could. It'll bounce back up when I'm able to eat normally again without feeling like absolute hell

Today is the last day so looking forward to participating in round 71. What a great idea! 10 days makes it seem so much more manageable
