You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. - John C. Maxwell Round 71: This round I need to stay focused on my monthly goal even though I’ll not have a scale to step back on until 3/26! The number of the scale moves up and down whether or not I'm stepping on it daily for the reminder. Reminder to self to continue tracking streak, reduce snacking on poor choices, drink more water and be active every day in some way shape or form!
🎯Mini Goal: 230 by end of March

3/15 - 233.5 - walked 1+ mile, yoga, plank, hand weights, gardened, 13164 steps, 64 oz water, track, AF. Pasta for lunch & dinner … bad choice. Really pushed myself to get the yard in shape M-Th this week!

Apparently, daily updates aren't my thing. I am weighing every morning but that's just about it. I'm still not 100% better from being sick. It's like my lungs aren't coming back like I expected them to. I also have hardly any voice. It was all I could do to ride on Saturday. I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis a year or so ago but I don't know if my lung issues are related to that. I am really looking forward to the temperatures getting warmer (and staying that way) so I can get OUTSIDE and walk. I'm getting some serious cabin fever and Grandma is driving us all nuts!

FROM THE MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 58 YEARS YOUNG & MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.

********LOOK AND SEE HOW MUCH THESE 10 DAY CHALLENGES HAVE HELPED ME********


Day/Weight/Comment
03/13 …..186.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

03/14 …..185.8 ….. Nice to see a drop again. Like some of the others I feel very sore from a lot of the exercise. I may decrease the amounts today and allow a little rest to these old bones & muscles. I will spend the time prep cooking for my freezer. I may skip going to the potluck/pool hall that I attend on Thursdays. We will see. Yesterdays stats: 1089 Calories In / 2795 calories out. 12 Net Carbs mostly in veggies. 21,329 Total Steps & 9.03 Total Miles. I wanted to IF 12:12 (two week metabolism reset plan) but found that I’m just too busy at my planned starting time due to my work schedule. Today I will attempt again but at a bit of a later starting time. My IF yesterday was 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my Fitbit while sleeping so no exact tracking on sleep, but my best clock estimate was just over 5 hours. I walked 112 minutes inside the school and danced for 51 minutes on my make-believe dance floor in my livingroom. Sample Song “Everyday People” by Sly & the Family Stone. Good luck this round everyone. I have read all the posts in this new round up until my own & you guys have already put me in a motivated and terrific mood. I feel empowered! Thanks Everyone!

03/15 …..185.6 ….. I skipped the pool hall & potluck last night & focused on the flooding in our area. Because my home is on a slab, the danger of it getting into my house is real so I bailed water until 4:00 a.m. It also rained & that was not helping. I have a new ground drain outside but it is frozen over or buried so I could not find it. Today will also be challenging. I hope to find it before I travel this week or I will come home to a sunken ship! We still have about 8 inches of snow across the grass & large hills along the sidewalks & driveways. Sunny days are causing the meltdown. If it is not too sunny today I would like to get down to the school to walk again. Yesterday’s stats: 1054 Calories In / 2145 Calories Out. 13 Net Carbs. 16,275 Total Steps & 6.89 Miles. IF 12:12 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 33 minutes and was up early to start bailing the water. I am very angry right now that my husband died on me 3 years ago. I walked a short walk of 11 minutes & I danced for 33 minutes. Sample song “Faith” by George Michael. Have a great weekend everyone. And please, stop one moment & say a prayer that I find that ground drain & get it unfrozen & drinking in the water & melting snow.

03/16 …..185.6 ….. I never found the ground drain myself for the flooding. I finally thought to call the man who put it in & he guided me by phone & bam, found it! Thanks for the hugs & prayers that led me back to the plumber. Cold & gloomy again but waiting for the meltdown & ready this time. Yesterday’s stats: 1264 Calories In / 2640 Calories Out. 19 Net Carbs. 15,616 Total Steps & 6.42 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I Slept for 5 hours & 23 minutes and am feeling very tired today. Really dragging butt. I took a moderate paced walk around my property for 13 minutes yesterday & I danced for 63 minutes in one long set. Sample song “Mockingbird” by Carly Simon & James Taylor. Such a good groove/vibe to get into! Not enough water lately. I’ve got to try harder on that front. It affects everything.
03/17 …..186.4 ….. What the heck? I have no idea how it went up 0.8 . I’ve done everything right! I do have a new recipe that I used in prep cooking which I’ve eaten a couple of times from the freezer. I wonder if I’ve imputed the ingredients properly for the correct calorie & carb information. I am going to put the recipe in again today & see what happens. Maybe I’ve been going over my macros without knowing it! Not much sleep last night so that didn’t help. Also, not enough water again so no BM again. All are factors. Yesterdays stats according to what I thought I knew: 1190 Calories In / 2680 Calories out. 21 Net Carbs. 14,307 Total Steps & 6.05 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. IF 12:12. I slept 2 hours & 43 minutes but am actually feeling pretty good right now. I walked at moderate pace for 29 minutes & I danced for 48 minutes with my son! Sample song “Dream no More” by Metallica. Warning/Disclaimer = It’s a heavy metal song that he picked. Not my groove but it worked for us. Happy Sunday everyone!
03/18 …..187.6 ….. I Obviously enjoyed St. Patty’s Day yesterday showing an additional gain this morning to go along with unexplained weight gain still lingering from the day before as well. I double checked my recipes & they are correct so I’m not sure what is going on (prior to the celebrations) which showed a mysterious gain. Trusting the process. Yesterday’s stats (making things worse) had too many calories to count, easily 2500 is my guess. Unknown carbs. Fitbit information is as follows on all else: 2390 Calories burned. 11,300 Total Steps & 4.78 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 47 minutes & had an early weigh-in this morning. No planned exercise yesterday but had to work until late afternoon yesterday so I got my steps in before any celebrations began. Have a great week everyone. I will read your posts as able & see you when I get back!
03/19 ….. ….. Travel-no scale. Will log & post as able.
03/20 ….. ….. Travel-no scale. Will log & post as able.
03/21 ….. ….. Travel-no scale. Will log & post as able.
03/22 ….. ….. Daytime travel home today. Pot luck tonight. Oh my!
03/23 ….. ….. Final round weigh in. What is the total damage? Covering my eyes when I hit that scale!

SW 147.9
Challenge GW - a loss of some sort. This is my first one so want to see what's doable in 10 days
UGW- 135-ish. Trying not to make a number goal, more so determining how I feel when I get mid -130's.

5'6' female 41 years old

03/14 - 147.9 exact same as yesterday! Wins: I logged all of my food for the first time in ages, was 50 calories over my target so not bad for the first day. Drank a lot of water. "Rest" day from the gym but walked at lunch and logged 11,257 steps.
03/15 - 147.3. Wins: Tracked my food, was about 150 calories over my target but I'm ok with that for the first few days of this challenge. Just getting back in to the tracking habit is what I'm looking for. Drank a lot of water. Took 45 min cycling class, and also logged 10,658 steps on top of that.
03/16 - 146.2. I know this is water weight since I just started this week but it’s nice to see! Fully expect fluctuations from
this point on. Wins: tracked food and was at my calorie goal. Drank a lot of water. Took 45 min bodycombat class and ended day with 13,237 steps (about 5000 of those were from the class). Got to bed early for a decent night’s sleep.
03/17 - 147.9 - well that’s embarrassing. But I knew it would happen. Wins yesterday: took a really hard 55 min HIIT class (so sore today!), got a good night’s sleep, hydrated well, tracked food. We had a family get together and I ate almost double my calorie goal. Not proud of that. I don’t have any discipline when there is an abundance of food around. Got 8600 steps - even though I did a tough workout I still aim for 10,000 steps a day and missed that mark. Will do better today!
03/18 - 147.9. UGH I seem to be stuck here! I'm worried with work travel on 3/21-22 that I'm not going to lose anything this round. Wins yesterday: 6 mile run at a pace faster than I expected. Ended up with 22,323 steps (Also walked the dog and took my daughter to the mall - on my feet a lot!). Tracked my food, was over my calorie goal but still a deficit due to my activity level. Got a good night's sleep. Area for improvement today - more water. Did not drink enough for my activity level yesterday.

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!

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (Was my Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!
Goal this round-159-hopefully! I got down to 162 last round.

3/14-166- I upped my walking miles yesterday, it made me super hungry, I made tomato/feta soup and forgot to be drinking water....
3/15-163- It was so nice here yesterday, I went for a big walk in the morning and then a short one after dinner-that helps.
3/16-No Scale
3/17-No Scale
3/18-167-Long hours traveling to a funeral.It was great to see family. It was nice to pick anything out I wanted to wear, because now, everything fits.

It’s wonderful to have ALL of you here!☕️🌸

Round 71 (3rd for me)

Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4

Round70 TL -3.6 pounds 356.4 - 352.8

OSW: 382
RSW: 352.8
UGW: 160

03/14 - 347.8 Umm...what!?! Five pounds lost overnight? I had my husband double check the scale because he had already weighed and then I weighed myself again. Hopefully the downward trend continues, but I won’t be surprised by gains in the following days. My goals are to stay on track and continue to fight my cold.

03/15 - 347.2 So it appears that my scale wasn’t horribly wrong yesterday and the downward trend continues. I’m feeling much better this morning and I’m already at pre sick steps for the morning. I might wait until Sunday to restart workouts. I’m very cautious with chest colds due to having a history of getting bronchitis. Today is my mother in law’s birthday and I’m hopeful of staying on track.

03/16 - 353 Frustrating but not surprising. I didn’t think I had lost 5 pounds overnight and I guessed that I should have been closer to my round start weight. Anything over that is from the bread and sodium from last night’s dinner. I’m sure the next couple of days will see my weight average out between the two numbers. My nsv yesterday was getting in all the steps I wanted plus a few extra.

03/17 - 353 Just waiting on the woosh down.

03/18 - 352.4 That’s a start. I believe that one of the reasons I’m finding this weight set mentally difficult is this is the weight I was when I last tried to lose over four years ago. I bounced between this and 350 and at the time I thought I was really trying. Looking back I know that wasn’t the case. I would have a cheat meal which would turn into a cheat day which turned into a cheat week. I never made any true or lasting changes. I keep having to remind myself that this time I’m serious and that this very minor hiccup is water and that I’m honestly tracking and not falling back into old habits. I know that I’ve got this and that I can do it.
