Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 — 195.6 — I’m doing well with tracking and staying on my eating plan. Motivated by that vacation coming up.
03/15 — 195.3 — Staying on track. Weekend is here which means more temptation. I plan to allow for 1 cheat this weekend.
03/16 — 195.7 — Ate a little more than usual, but all WOE approved foods.
3/17 — 195.6 — Can’t seem to move off 195. But my blood pressure is better! Happy about that.
03/18 — 195.5 — Keeping on track. Last night was the first time I’ve had a snack after dinner since starting. It was only 8 almonds so I think I’m good.
03/19 — 194.8 — Going in the right direction.
03/20 - 194.0 — Happy with this. Going out today for a spring break fun day with my daughter. I will probably have a cheat item but plan to keep it at one thing. Planning ahead is key for me.

I think I dropped my water weight! Just in time for the weekend shenanigans 😁 I probably won't be weighing until Monday, but I'll keep you posted. I have a date tonight and tomorrow I'm going into San Francisco for my friend's birthday and some dancing. I'll be back late Sunday but probably too late to weigh, so I'll weigh on Monday.

This was my first time in months not worrying about what I was eating. I didn't even track along at each meal but instead did it at the end of the day. But this was a good lesson for me to learn while I have the accountability of all of you. That the sooner I get back on the horse (the horse being the scale and calorie counting) the easier it is to take off the couple pounds I put on. I had so much fun enjoying food and not worrying. So I think as long as it's only one or two days, and I'm at my goal weight, I'm going to let these instances happen.
03/19 135.4 t = 137
Darn my trend sure isn't budging. The line is still going up. I don't know of it'll ever reach my goal weight. And my new fitbit already started acting funny. It no longer wants to connect to the app so I don't have any updates ugh. I'm gonna have to call today. Have any of you ever had this problem? I have a flex 2.
03/20 135.4 t = 136.8
Started a new job yesterday and it went great. Haven't been keeping up with my cardio so my goal for today is to walk/jog a 5K.

03/14 176.4 Water weight is coming off! I’m ready to see what the next 10 days brings! I was within calories yesterday and got in a Fitness Blender upper body workout. Have a great day everyone!
03/15 176.8 Hmm...I was within calories and macros but I've got a little doms from that Fitness Blender workout and yesterday was a stressful day at work. I did get in a short walk. Today is my day off. I plan to do some resting today even though I need to buy some groceries. Not sure if I'll go for my step goal today, but I am thinking of getting a workout in!
03/16 174.8 I surprised myself and got my steps in and I got a workout! A lot of times it can feel a little hard to get 10,000 steps on my day off. But yesterday it felt easy. And I still feel like I had a relaxing day! Back to work today.
03/17 175 It was another crazy day at work yesterday. And I wanted so bad to give in to my old habit of soothing with sweets. "Just forget it. Eat whatever you want!" But I didn't give in to that thought! And it was just perfect timing that pastor is doing a series on feelings and how we don't want to just make decisions based on how we feel!
I'm going to try today and not let the craziness at work get to me.
03/18 175.6 Tried to post earlier but couldn't. Is this the corned beef and the beer? I tracked them both and was supposedly within calories. Anyway it was a delicious way to end my day! I've been gluten free for close to 10 years and hubby bought me a gluten free porter as that used to be my favorite type of beer. It was so good! But I only had 8 oz. It's nice to know I can enjoy it again!
03/19 175 It’s my hubby’s birthday today! But we’re going to have family dinner out tomorrow for his birthday. It’s my day off today, and I’m really taking a rest day today. This past weekend at work was the longest and busiest weekend ever. I might take a short walk because it’s beautiful sunny out today!

03/20 173. 6 I stepped on and off the scale a couple of times just to be sure! I had a pretty nice day off yesterday, and we took a nice sunset walk. Felt like a relaxing day. Tonight we’re going out to dinner for my hubby’s birthday. I’ve guessed how many calories it’s going to be. I’m looking forward to it! I hope you guys have a great day!

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.
03/19 - 147.5. Down at least, not much this challenge but I'm learning some things. Wins yesterday: 4 mile run, ended up with 18,909 steps. Tracked food, a little over my goal but not by much. Area for improvement - still water. I thought I drank enough but felt really thirsty around bedtime so I guess not.
03/20 - traveling for work. Can't weigh myself and not sure how accurate tracking my food will be. I'm at the mercy of the conference food for the most part. And I'm sure I'll be way more sedentary than usual. All of the days are 12-13 hour days, Ugh. Will check back in when I return. I'm thinking this might not have been the best 10 days for me to start! Round 72 might be my round
03/21 - traveling for work
03/22 - traveling for work
03/23

Can't wait to begin another challenge! This will be my second one and I will not be weighing in the last day this one because I'll be out of town. Thanks for the accountability everyone

Round 70: SW 202.6 EW 197.4 (-5.2 pounds)

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14: 197.8 (Yay for a new challenge! I weighed in heavier than yesterdays weight (197.4), but it has to do with my increased exercise last night which was 45 minutes on the elliptical sweating buckets. I had a small cheese quesadilla last night with chips and salsa for dinner. My official weigh in is on Friday's, so I'm excited to see what my results are tomorrow. Oh by the way, my weight today is the lowest I have weighed since September of 2015!! I almost cried.)

03/15: 197.8 (Same weight as yesterday, but that's okay! My official weigh in day is on Friday's and from last Friday I have lost 1.6 pounds. That makes me very happy! I did an upper body strength training workout and I'm a little sore. I had baked fries and homemade Philly cheesesteaks last night which were awesome!

03/16: 197.6 ( A little bit of a drop! I did no workout last night and had a nice big burrito for dinner haha. I can’t workout til tomorrow since I just got my first laser hair removal session today. I’ll be doing an hour workout tomorrow evening to offset today. Have a nice weekend!)

03/17: 198.6 (this gain was lower than expected! I only had half a beer last night for a little st Patrick’s day celebration which is a win for me. I ate less than what I planned for since I save calories for the weekends. I’m also 2 pounds less than last Sunday!)

03/18: 200.0 (I worked out for an hour yesterday doing 45 minutes of elliptical training and 15 minutes of total body training. Most of the time, when I workout hard I see a gain the following day. I also ate at a deficit. At least I'm 0.6 pounds less than last Monday! I'm hoping for a great week, even though TOM is visiting on Friday. Let's do this!)

03/19: 199.4 (A small drop this morning but a little less than usual. I did a 20 minute HIIT workout on the elliptical and a 15 minute core workout. My legs are a little on the sore side! Last night I had a Grocery store Asian takeout night complements of Trader Joe's I also may be holding on to some sodium and water weight for TOM on Friday! I'm curious to see what the effects would be of all this by the end of the challenge.)

03/20: 199.2 (TOM came early yesterday afternoon, 3 days to be exact! No wonder the weight was staying on! Sometimes it sucks to be a woman, but oh well I can't do anything lol. Last night I made some chicken noodle soup and had a piece of garlic bread. I also did my upper body strength training workout and I increased the reps and weight. I'll just be sticking to this for the next few days and see if the water weight drops before my trip to Vegas this weekend.)

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!

19 March: 122.3 lbs * Apparently my body really enjoys being this weight. Not worrying too much as I'm sticking to my calories and drinking lot of water. Trusting the system!

20 March: 122 lbs * Back down to my lowest this morning, I was very happy to see that! Date night with my husband tonight, might eat at maintenance but not sure yet. Leaving the option open. I'll be eating the majority of my calories for dinner tonight regardless so I won't be too surprised if there's a small increase on the scale tomorrow morning.

Day/Weight/Comment

03/14--212.9 I realized that I need to really work on my evening snacking. I don't know if it's boredom, tiredness or something else, but I want to be really conscious of why I snack so much in the evening even when I'm not hungry. What's weird is that I'm not even snacking on junk food or any specific type of food. It's going to be hard, but I think it should be interesting. Trainer tonight.
03/15--212.5 Ok, yesterday evening I tried something new to help curb my snacking. I had my dinner and then about 1/2 an hour later I realized that I was still hungry, but instead of reaching for a snack I decided to have another serving of my dinner. After the 2nd serving the hunger was gone and when about an hour later my husband asked if I wanted any of the popcorn he made I said no when I realized that I wasn't hungry. I didn't snack for the rest of the evening and in the end ate less calories than I've eaten over the prior couple of days when I was snacking. This has made me realize that I'm probably not eating enough for dinner and when I get hungry in the evening and start snacking it's hard for me to stop. So, I think from now on I'm going to eat more at dinner which will curb my hunger during the rest of the evening and hopefully I won't even start snacking. Run tonight.
03/16-212.5. Kept with the larger dinner last night and there was no snacking. Finished w7d2...8 more days to my 5k. Went to the gym this morning to do some weightlifting. Have to work on getting my water in today...it's so much harder for me on the weekend.
03/17--212.9 Well, plan to drink more water yesterday was a fail. I also realized that my plan to eat more at dinner to reduce snacking works much better on days that I work because I will snack all day if I'm at home. I think I may just accept the fact that I will probably be eating at maintenance on the weekends and just not worry about staying in deficit. Today I finished W7D3...it was an absolutely perfect run...one more week until my 5k. I bought a sofa today and did some errands. Drinking more water today than yesterday so that is a plus.
03/18--212.5 Up and down and up and down. No workout/run planned today, but the weather is supposed to be great today, high 60's and sunny, that I might need to take the dog out after work for a long walk.
03/19--212.0 Had a tough workout today, trainer switched up some exercises and I definitely felt it.
03/20--211.4 Large dinner yesterday worked again with curbing my evening snacking. I was feeling stressed out yesterday about 2 hours after my dinner, I was studying for a test, and I wanted to snack, but then I stopped myself when I realized I wasn't hungry. So instead of starting to snack I had 2 pieces of dark chocolate. I won't have time to run after work today so instead of missing my run I am planning to run at lunch today, something I haven't done in years.

Lately I've been feeling discouraged with my weight loss, it is such a slow process and the day to day flucuations can get me down sometimes. Trying to stay positive and keep up with exercise and healthy eating.
