Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 378.4 (-0.4) – My goal this round is to focus, focus, focus! No more red rounds! My goal is to lose 4 to 6 pounds per round. If I don't lose that much no worries – I am not beating myself up. But I am determined not to have any more red rounds! I can do that at least! So to help me do that, I reset my ticker yesterday to my 2019 start weight, which I am over by 5.4 pounds. I have really been struggling but I am going to try to come out of this slump because life is just not getting any easier as we struggle in these trying times. My goal this year is lose 50 to 75 pounds and to do that I am really going to have to buckle down. My ticker is set for 75 but I will gladly take 50 plus in a heartbeat and nothing less than that for sure. I think having something already on the ticker is not helping me so I am trying something new. I have to keep trying and trying until I get it right!
My Dad is doing pretty good considering he is in hospice in a nursing home. In February it has been over year. Life goes on, so I have to find a way to make me a priority also. Baby steps
I am also working on increasing my sleeping hrs per night. I am happy to say this week I have slept 3 days since Monday over 7 hrs! I have not slept 7 hrs 3 nights in a week in a loooong time, so I am proud of that and I am going to try to keep it going because this helps me for sure.
I am really going to try to check in here more often too. That too will help me because I will be more mindful. I will read something to inspire, etc. The rounds I lost -- I checked in more also. Even if I don't have time to comment every day, I want to log my weight at least.
03/15 378.4 (-0.0) – Went over my points but did my exercise and got my 7000 steps. Short on sleep but feeling great and back on it today. Pre-planning for weekend so I can maintain or even lose a pound or more. We will see. I usually make my goal for weekend to maintain or not to gain. If I do that I am doing good. Past weekends I have blown my whole week on the weekend. Now I can maintain and even lose. I may go up one day and come right back down the next because I try not to have 2 or 3 bad days if you include Friday.
03/16 374.8 (-3.6) - yesterday I resisted fast food after visiting my Dad in nursing home. Came home, had some eggs and grits. I also decided this morning to switch WW plans. I going to online only which will save me $25 a month since I am not going to meetings anyway but I love their points program. Right now the meetings are not in the plan for me and I rather use God, family, MFP and my therapist who I see Tuesday for my support system for now. That is my new plan for now. Giving up is not an option for me!
03/17 373.6 (-1.2) - I got in my 7000 steps yesterday. Since I was over my WW points yesterday, I was surprised I was down today. I think I may be up tomorrow. Not sure since I did eat a lot of protein and hardly any carbs. Back on track a little bit today. But I know I will be down overall this weekend for sure -- so a win win.

03/14 234.8 Happy to have found this challenge. Finishing a vacation and feeling that I could have enjoyed it more and been more active if I were healthier and lighter. Was not able to be as physically active with my kids as I would've liked. It is no fun being the least fit person in a group.
03/15 234.6 Overnight drive last night. Energy level was really up and down today. Not caught up on sleep yet. Not well hydrated.
03/16 234.6 . Listened to a guided meditation for weight loss on Insight Timer before going to sleep last night.
03/17 240.1 . Decided to start weighing and posting at night. Figured weights may fluctuate more, but it is more convenient for me. Depressed about vacation being over. Should be much easier for me to eat less this week though, due to return to normal life.

Ready for my round 8

03/15 78.0kg.that's 10kg down💃🏽. Ran this morning but really need to do those push ups!

03/18 77.0kg all good. Even ran despite the rainy night and wet ground. Only a short 1.5km to start the week and I did pushup etc yesterday!

03/14 - 274.4 - Had a great PT session last night. My trainer really pushed me and I upped quite a few of my weights on some lifts.

03/15 133.2 – just over 2 ½ miles walked yesterday; all gained around the soft play area that I went to with 2 daughters & their babies, had lunch & indulged in carrot cake too – but that was only indiscretion and was within calorie intake goal for the day.

DAY - WEIGHT - COMMENT
03/14 - 79,3 kg - starting off strong but this might be because my stomach was upset and I *TMI* had to run to the bathroom multiple times last night we'll see what tomorrow says! Also because I've been under 80kg for 3 days now I'm gonna say I succeeded at my first mini goal!
03/15 - 78,9 kg - okay I guess yesterday was still semi-representative! happy about this. also stopped myself from binging yesterday night so that's good!
03/16 - 78,9 kg - didn't expect a drop from yesterday because I already had been dropping quite a lot quite fast the past couple of days. tonight will be difficult because i'm eating out fast food with some friends, so reminder to myself: don't beat yourself up if there's a gain tomorrow morning haha.

03/17 - 79,4 kg - breathe and move on.
03/18 - 78,8 kg - there we go, back to normal! don't know if my goal this round is possible but we'll just keep doing our thing!

GW end of round 71- 220.0

Last round went well, goals this round are to average 10,000steps a day and average 1500cals in.

Day/Weight/Comment

03/14 - 222.2 - Yesterday my stats were 14,600steps, 3200cals out, 600cals in. I only need about 7000-8000steps today to meet my weekly target of 70,000 so that's what I will be aiming for. My goal calorie wise is to stay under 1700cals today. Have a great day all X

03/15 - 223.6 - Yesterday stats were 7200steps, 2700cals out, 1650cals in. I feel very in control at the moment, today is a fast day and I am aiming for 10,000 steps or more. I want to stay more committed to my eating goals over the weekend, I am not going to fuss about steps but calories need to be 2000 or lower on both days X

03/16 - 222.0 - 18,500 steps, 3600cals out, 880cals in. I was hoping to atleast be in the 221.xx range today, Owel even more incentive to eat well today so I'm not then struggling with excess water. Today's goals are just to stay under 2000cals, I only need another 3500steps today so I can complete my week on 80,000steps but I will easily achieve that so not much point setting it as a goal. Enjoy your weekends all X

03/17 - 223.2 - 4500 steps, 2500cals out, 2300cals in. Not a good day yesterday, not only was I very lazy but I didn't even stick to my calorie goals. Today is the first day of a new week on my apps, last week I finished on 80,900steps, 1480cals on average in a day, 3020cals on average out a day. I'm very happy with that, hopefully I will see a drop on the scales some time before the end of this challenge X

03/18 - 221.4 - 10,777 steps, 2950 cals out, 2500cals in. Still way over on calories. Today is a fast day, aiming to do atleast 10,000 steps. Chicken chow mien for dinner tonight X

I don’t make a goal to lose here; I see how much I can lose within the 10 days. I do have goals and am on number 3. I don’t count this as completed until 210 or under.

My Goal 3 is to be 210 for March 29th – I will accomplish this ahead of time. I have other goals but have to reevaluate them, due to the weight already loss. Goal was accomplished on 3/15.

Round 68 SW: 225.8 – EW: 219.8 (↓6lbs)
Round 69 SW: 219.2 -EW: 215.8 (↓4lbs)
Round 70 SW: 215.8 – EW: 210.8 (↓5lbs)

03/14 – 210.2 – comments
03/15 - 210.0 – met my March 29th goal of weighing 210. I have to reevaluate goals today (was waiting for this weigh-in to do this).
03/16 210.6 – no complaints or explanations just moving onto the next day! I finally got new bands for my tracker a couple days ago and yesterday walked over 11,000 steps for me that is a lot.
03/17 – 209.8 my scale is screwy this morning, every time I stepped on it, it was a different weight all lower (207.2, 209.4), the last time I stepped it shot up to 210.8 (I know this amount is not correct), so I took the first one when stepped on the scale (the weight you see), I hate this scale really liked my first one, but it seems off since my hubby fixed it.

Round 69: 126.3 -> 125 (1.3 lb loss)
Round 70: 124.8 -> 122.5 (2.3 lb loss)

14 March: 122.3 lbs * Round three for me! I'm going to set my Round 71 goal weight at 121.3 lbs, so a pound loss over the next 10 days. Going out for dinner tonight and I've already put my meal into MFP so off to a good start!

15 March: 122 lbs * While at dinner last night I was tempted by a slice of chocolate cake for dessert. After looking the calories up on the restaurant's website and seeing it would only put me over my calorie budget by 75 I figured... screw it, and went for it. I opted not to get the ice cream on the side which would have put me over another 200 and wouldn't have been worth it. But the chocolate cake was! Didn't seem to harm anything as I was still in a deficit and the scale still went down this morning.

16 March: 122.5 lbs * I ate a massive chunk of my calories last night waaaaay after 8PM (when I usually stop eating for the night), so this wasn't a shock.

17 March: 122.3 lbs * Going back down -- feeling good! I've rediscovered granola and yogurt for breakfast. Sooo tasty and filling!

18 March: 122.3 lbs * I weighed in earlier than normal this morning but I didn't want to wait cause I was hungry. Need to drink more water today!

Last round got off to a difficult start but I had a woosh at the end and exceeded my goal by 2 pounds.
I'm setting my new goal at 153

This round I'm going to concentrate on staying really hydrated, getting lots of sleep, keeping up my 5 gym days and avoiding wheat/potatoes.


3/14- 154.6 starting the round with a new low! Recovering today from two heavy exercise classes back to back yesterday. I might need to pace myself as today I've been feeling quite weak.

3/15 - 153.6 (-1#) I wasn't expecting this drop and am thrilled because it puts me into the 10 stone bracket, just! Going out to dinner tonight though so I expect it'll go back up.

3/16 - 154.4 (-0.2#) yep, as expected, its back up a bit. Did an exercise class so that gave me some flexibility with calories for the meal out. I managed to stay within my calories by choosing wisely. It was an Indian restaurant so choosing something without tons of oil is tricky but I went for chicken shashlik and alcohol free beer. Going to cinema tonight so that's going to be another challenge! I won't drink again tonight as it makes it so much easier to make food choices!

3/17 - 154.6 (-0#) another tricky day yesterday, went shopping and had lunch at pizza hut. Had a flatbread pizza and a couple of bowls of salad but stuck to vegetables with French dressing. Cinema in the evening, had a few crisps and chocolates but not much. No gym but stayed within calories.

3/18 - 155 (+0.4#) yuk, no-one likes a gain! Did two exercise classes back to back yesterday and was quite tired afterwards so ended up taking a nap. I was feeling sore and drained in the evening so had a mini binge on some biscuits. Carby day! Five more weigh ins to get down 2#!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 96.9 Well that's a nice drop, no running etc at the moment as I am suffering with a viral infection. Sinuses are on fire and I feel like I'm going to cough up a lung soon! On the plus side I have zero appetite and it just tastes like cardboard when I eat...
03/15 96.7 nice to see the scale go down. Expecting a small bounce up over the weekend, I'm not eating properly and I haven't run since Tuesday… but it will be temporary! Feeling much better apart from the tail end of a really irritating tickly cough…
03/16 96.8 I took a maintenance day yesterday and just relaxed a bit! Planning to take another today. But hoping to be back out running by Monday. Surprised my weight didn't go up though as I had wine and snacks, guess there'll be a bounce somewhere down the road?!
