I decide sleep was more important. I will try to work in yoga or a weights workout tonight. Hoping it goes back down before Saturday!

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. Travel going well but so much sitting! I will try to do a little walking today. For those of you just getting to know me, I live in a very rural area. We have one grocery, a gas station that still pumps our gas for us. A Pharmacy, one dollar store and some Amish stores such as lumber and general store. 2 Family restaurants & a McDonald’s built just a few years ago. We also have one pizza place with, of course, no delivery available. No stores, no strip malls, no big malls, no plazas. Our school house is one building for headstart through 12th grade. The average amount of students to graduate each year is about 12 kids. To get to towns that have Chinese food, Mexican food, Italian Food, dairy queens, donut shops or bakeries, even a walmart is such a joy. To see things like KFC, Arbys, Burger King, Wendys, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell is Wow wow wow. It has, thus far been a temptation that I have been unable to resist. When traveling, I see a menu & I just can’t contain myself. It puts me weeks backwards on any weight loss everytime I travel, even for an overnight! At home there are no gyms, pools, walking trails, bike trails etc that are groomed. They allow us to walk inside the schoolhouse for exercise during the school year. In the summer we can walk to track at the school, or in my neighborhood. Most streets are dirt roads and we share them with the Amish horses so watch out where you step lol. So I walk at the school & I dance. And I go overboard when I’m out of town around new sensational foods. But I am learning & using new habits that help. I just wanted to give all the newbies a bit of history. I am in remission for breast cancer so taking care of myself is vital & I hate my setbacks more than you know. I am caring for my adult (but childlike) Autistic son alone. My husband passed away 3 years ago this month. I was his caregiver for several years & that was tough. I own & run two small businesses from my home/on my property. Cabin rentals. It keeps me active. My hands are full & it is difficult to do all of this alone now, but I strive & I do my best. I have lost a lot of weight in the past year, but these past few months (since fall) have been horrid. I am trying to get back on track & I consider my necessary travels a setback. Bittersweet. I enjoy getting out there in the world, yet I don’t because of its impact on me. I thank everyone for their continued support. The ideas I have been given are tremendous. I want you to know that none of it is wasted on me. I am not always on target, but I use them all in my strong times. You’ve made all the difference in my little world. Thanks for the chance to introduce myself to all of you who do not yet really know me.
03/20 ….. ….. Travel-no scale. Will log & post as able. Too many calories & carbs to figure. I am writing it down & will log it when I get home. My fitbit information is as follows for yesterday: 2705 Calories burned/Out. 14,246 Steps which I worked hard for during this trip. 6.03 Total Miles. IF 12:12. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my fitbit overnight but clock shows nearly 7 hours of sleep! I never EVER get that much sleep at home. I guess it really does show how much my sleep is interrupted/impacted by the cabin rentals & guests I have on my property. Keeps me up late at night, yet up earlier than I need. Yikes…… I managed to get in a 23 minute walk. Happy hump day everyone!
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!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/14 - 171.2 - 20g carbs, 15g net carbs. Carbs were: steamables golden potatoes (6.5gcarb), salad, deli smoked turkey, manzanilla olives, cucumber ranch dressing, au jus sauce. Okay, my weight has settled here for today. Probably that tiny potato 😂 Dinner was 2 hours later than I planned, due to this HUGE chuck roast I was cooking. It took 2+ hrs in the pressure cooker! with a couple of stops and starts to check it during the process. Should have put the 2nd weight on the pot.
3/15 - 172.2 - 32g carbs, 26g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, olives, dill pickle, grape tomatoes, jalapenos, peanut butter, almonds, walnuts, deli smoked turkey. A little fluid retention..... from exercise, not carbs! Knee is behaving, so back to strengthing quads and hams. Taking it low and slow, but consistently. I'm dealing with old shoulder injuries too, so must not be impatient with myself trying to do sets, reps and long workouts like I used to do.
3/16 - 173 - Normal fluctuation. 35g carbs, 27g net carbs. Carbs were: Strawberries, salad, peanut butter, celery, carrot, apple in chicken salad, cranberry cheddar, spaghetti squash, au jus sauce. Did not take vitamins 2 days, Th, F.
3/17 - 171.2 - 38g carbs, 28g net carbs. Too much peanut butter! Need B's. I did take my vitamins. Carbs were: green beans, au jus sauce, olives, deli smoked turkey, peanut butter.
Carb count increased from peanut butter.
3/18 - 171 - 26g carbs, 19g net carbs. Carbs were: eggs, spinach, salad, strawberries, peanut butter, sundried tomato dressing. It's going to be a slow roll with some backtracking out of the 170's. That was my normal pattern of weightloss before October 2018. Now I've buckled down and become conscious of the issues holding me in this decade for so long. With humbleness, prayer, guidance and thankfulness, I'm certain that I will exit this learning phase successfully. ☺
3/19 - 171.2 - 21g carbs, 16g net carbs. Carbs were: peanut butter, spinach and peppers as toppings on chicken crust pizza. Not very hungry yesterday, only ate 2/3 of allotted calories. If it wasn't for the peanut butter it would have been closer to 1/3!
3/20 - 172.2 - Back here again, but it's not 177 thank goodness! 32g carbs, 25g carbs. Carbs were: guacamole, peanut butter, uncured turkey hotdogs, salad, cauliflower, low carb bbq sauce.

@jlbtnc All calories are not created equal which is why CICO (calories in, calories out) so often fails.
@kevinrfletcher General Tso’s chicken is my favorite but BREADED, FRIED, and SAUCED!
@amn0619 There is no time like the present. There will always be a birthday, holiday, vacation, conference or other event to use as an excuse so we just jump in and do what we can to make our lives work. You’ve got this!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

3/14 128.0 Didn’t got to Greek as planned last night. Going to Golden Corral tonight with friends.
3/15 128.0 I plan to enjoy homemade chicken broth today. Think I overdid the treadmill yesterday. I actually WANT to get back to where I was 10 years ago but my body is not so sure.
3/16 128.0 Finally made it to Great Greek and ate 1/2 my large Greek Salad with gyro. I was stuffed. Also walked a lot. Got over my step goal.
3/17 128.5. Finished my salad for brunch yesterday, made Alfredo chicken and zoodles for a friend’s memorial potluck. Don’t know what I ate that made me feel so bloated! UGH!
3/18 128.5 May not have had enough water yesterday. Neighbor dog woke us before 5:30 this morning.
3/19 128.5 Lots of water and 50 minutes on the treadmill yesterday
3/20 128.5 Only 35 minutes on treadmill yesterday but went a little faster. Art Quilts and community bingo today. Meeting Amy at the gym between!5 -
31th Round for me: Female 66, height 5’
Goal this round, starting March 14: Still want to get out of the 160’s but this time I should be able to do it. I was much better on logging and watching cals. last round and only slightly better on getting in movement on my non-gym days. So my goals for this round are to keep up with the logging and add more movement and get into an earlier bedtime/rise schedule. That will take a little work since we’ve just gone through time change but worth it as I get so much more done that way.Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, -.2Round 71 – SW 160.8

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 – 160.6
03/15 – 161.8 – Was only slightly over on calories yesterday, although not the best choices and a little salty. My nose has started running since I got up and feeling a bit draggy so may also be water weight. Debating on going to the gym … maybe will opt for making soup instead … keep the calories down and liquids up.
03/16 – 160.8 – Well, I didn’t go to the gym and I did make soup, drank lots of liquids AND ate lots of calories – although still only slightly over maintenance. Not feeling too bad, just very stuffed up in the sinuses and also ears a bit. Still glad that I don’t have to go anywhere.
03/17 – 161.8 – This is feeling like a yo-yo. Did eat an evening snack that I didn’t need so will have to watch it today to keep the 160’s going here. Still have the cold but not too bad.
03/18 – 161.2 – Wasn’t planning to spend this round dithering between 160’s and 161’s! Feeling better today and got some news yesterday to up my activity. I was planning to go on the trip about April 9 till mid-May. Now it will be shorter but much sooner – like leaving next week! All I could think was “panic monster” from the https://waitbutwhy.com/2013/10/why-procrastinators-procrastinate.html blog. I am such a terrible procrastinator, but now I have to rush around and get everything ready. No stress eating allowed though as I want to keep my progress.
03/19 – 161.2 – So first time on the scale it said 163.something then I realized the scale was over about ½ inch from my usual spot … moved it and here we are again. Only feeling more thankful. And careful.
03/20 – 161.2 – Finally off to the gym today, think I’m over the germs.

@Tracie_Lord omg, look at your progress! You are my inspiration this round (my first). Seeing all your stats, it's clear that sticking with this pays off. And now you're under 200, such amazing progress! I was feeling a little bummed about my slooow progress this week because I expected at least a water weight whoosh at the beginning, but I'm more encouraged now.6

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 157.8 Road trip, not the best eating.
03/15 157.2 Visiting with friends today but going to keep my goals in mind.
03/16 157.2 No gains after vacation, I'll take it! With 7 days left in this challenge, I will need to buckle down on my eating. I want to see those 2.4 lbs GONE! Maybe I'll finally load up one of the beachbody workouts I'm paying for every month, ha.
03/17 157.2. I'm stuck here, it seems. For 3 days in a row. I did finally start PiYo yesterday and am committed to doing another "workout" today. By workout, I mean I made it through the intro section that shows you how to do all the moves. It was challenging enough for me, that's for sure! Today, I'm fighting Sunday habits/cravings with my family: usually, we get donuts or breakfast burritos and sugary coffees. None of that for me today! Keeping tomorrow's weigh-in in mind.
03/18 156.6. Down 1.2 lbs so far! Maybe I can get another .8 off the scale in the next 5 days. Seems doable! Yesterday I made good choices and avoided the Sunday sugars, so I'm feeling accomplished all of a sudden. I'll call it a NSV.
03/19 156.6 Yesterday was my first time trying to log a more complicated homemade meal, and I took the time to input every ingredient of the Shepherd's pie so I knew exactly how much of a serving I could have. This is classic comfort food, and I proved to myself that I can eat what I enjoy and stay within my limits. I'll be running errands all day today so likely eating out, but I'm not worried.
03/20 156.6. Well, I have MFP set to a 1.5 lbs loss a week, and I guess it's set correctly! Honestly, I had hoped for a bigger week 1 loss, even if it was water weight, just to see the scale moving downward more dramatically. Oh, well. I think this means if I'm losing 1.5 a week on 1200 calories, I'm slashing 750 calories a day (500/day for a 1 lb loss; 750/day for 1.5, 1000/day for 2 lb loss)? If my math is right, my maintenance level would be 1950/day as a super sedentary woman.
I'm not willing to slash 1000 calories and eat only 950 to get down to a faster 2 lb loss, especially considering I'm unable to do any real calorie-burning exercise with my mobility issues (say, by eating 1200 and exercising away 250 without eating the exercise calories back). So I'll lose slowly, but as long as I'm losing, I'm good.
Today I'm shooting for 1400 calories just to mix it up a bit. We'll see if my experiment pays off...

I have no idea how many rounds this is for me. Ended last round at 152.7, looking to end this one at least at 150 something and with a lower 10 day average. Good luck everyone!
03/14 - 151.0 did more snacking last night than I should have. I didn't get dinner on the table till about 7:15 and had a couple of snacks while I was cooking and waiting to start cooking. We were trying to get the second oldest ready for his first day of work. It took us 18 years to convince that kid he needed a job, but he finally did it. I am just hoping he likes it and he figures out it isn't as bad as he has built it up to be in his head. The oldest also came by and picked some furniture up that we are giving him and his girlfriend. They are getting their own place next month when this semester ends and moving in together. First year of college is almost complete for them. Plan is set today for food and water and I am staying on my no alcohol train. Today will be day 5, trying to do a 14 day no alcohol challenge. Honestly it has been tougher than I thought.
03/15 - 151.0 same as yesterday. I guess I can't complain, although was hoping it would be lower. We did go out to dinner last night and I stayed within calories. Did not eat any bread which is definitely a win in my book. So I guess staying the same after a meal out is good, seeing as I usually gain a couple of pounds after a night out. Meals are ready for today and hoping for the best through the weekend.
03/16 - 150.1 Nice little drop to start the weekend. It also flashed 149.8 but then went up to 150.1. Still very happy with my weigh in. Now if I can hold on to it for the next 2 days. I’m already on track for breakfast and lunch today. Going out to dinner tonight and then a basketball game. My goal today, no alcohol and to eat something in calories at the restaurant.
03/17 - 151.0 I have no idea why it’s up. Ate well and ran errands all day. Thought it would be lower though. Maybe it’s because we ate so late last night or because I weighed 3 hours later than normal this morning. I’m not complaining, it’s a Sunday and it hasn’t gone up 2 or 3 pounds, so I guess I will take it as a win.
03/18 - 154.0 I am extremely annoyed. Last weekend I thought it was because I ate pork on Sundays. It's the only day that I eat it, but we always have a big family breakfast with sausage and bacon every Sunday. So I didn't eat any of it thinking it was the sodium, and I gained 3.6 pounds from Friday to Monday. This weekend I was convinced that it had to be the alcohol that we drink on the weekend. So, I did not have a sip of alcohol all weekend, not even yesterday for St Patty's day! Guess what I gained 3.9 pounds Friday to Monday. I stayed within calories, drank a ton of water I thought, and still have this crazy spike. Maybe it is bread? I usually don't eat bread at all, but the weekends are harder seeing as we do hamburgers or hot-dogs on the grill ,or order pizza, or have toast or biscuits with breakfast. So I guess I will cut all bread next weekend and see if that's what is causing my gain. Maybe I have a hard time processing the bread right away or something. I know I will be back down in a day or 2 but it messes up my 10 day average and it is so frustrating some times. I ate a half a piece of toast yesterday and a cinnamon roll and 2 slices of thin crust pizza. All within calories, no reason for a 4 pound gain.
03/19 - 153.0 down a pound. No bread last night, but did have a beer. Ate below calories and on plan so far today. Hopefully I will be back down to 151 tomorrow and 150 by Thursday. Would love to see that 149 by Saturday, but we will see.
03/20 - 151.8 and back down again. I'm hoping for a 150 something tomorrow and to finish this round strong. 3 days left and meeting my goal for this round is very doable at this point. Did well yesterday food wise, under calories, no alcohol, no bread, and drank all my water. This no bread thing is actually harder than I thought. We make rolls with almost every meal. I usually have at least half a one or a couple of bites. I never really noticed it until last night that I do eat it and just don't count it. I guess if I only have half of one it doesn't count in my mind, lol. I have had 5 days out of the last 7 at 151 something or below, so that's definitely bringing my 10 day average down this time.

Feeling frustrated with my up and down of essentially 1 lb for the past 7 (!) weeks. I know that my food has not been 100% because I have started back in the gym and trying to juggle too many balls in the air. That being said, for the next 10 day round I commit to:
~ writing my food down before I eat it
~allowing myself a maintenance MEAL and not a maintenance DAY on the weekends
~continuing with my workout plan of 30 days of yoga and 2x lifting per week.
03/14 185.4
03/15 184.8 I like this number! Hopefully I can keep my head in the game this weekend and not undo all of my good work. Tomorrow I have an art opening, St Paddy's parade.. and green beer? I'm not a big beer drinker so should be able to keep it at 1 or 2. Guess I will eat a good lunch beforehand and bring a snack in my bag so I'm not as tempted by salty junk.
03/16 185.6 Didn't do too badly on this day. We went out for sushi, but I just got edamame and garlic beef, ate one sushi bite, and had only 1 green beer at the parade festivities.
03/17 185.5 Still sitting here. Working in the garden all day.
03/18 186.6 I made a nice ham for dinner last night with boiled potatoes and roasted carrots for dinner last night. Stayed within my calories no problem. so it must be the salt still hanging around I guess. Having a super hungry day so far, lifts in the gym were not great due to not sleeping well for the past few nights. Hopefully can sleep good tonight and get back on track! Yoga this afternoon, I can really tell the difference if I skip it!~ Halfway through this challenge, need to get on track with the downward scale trend!
03/19 186.4
03/20 185.6 still trying to find the sweet spot between performing in the gym and losing weight. My trainer wanted me to up my protein a bit and now I find that I have trouble keeping my calories down. After searching the forums a bit I saw it's recommended to prelog proteins first then add in other things till you meet your calorie target. I think I'm going to try this for a few days. Not excited about the weekend coming up! it's always so challenging food wise. Lifted this AM, yoga tonight.

03/14: 204.4 Yesterday I actually got up and did my workout BEFORE work (not a morning person). I know I need to drink a bit more water!
03/15: 201.7 – Quite a jump, don’t expect it to stay this low just yet lol. Got more water in yesterday though. Did well today food wise. Have worked out every day this week, so considering not doing it today but there is still time if I change my mind.
03/16: 201.7 – No change, not unexpected. Had French fries with lunch, low on water today. Expect I may see the scale go up tomorrow.
03/17: 201.7– I guess that’s good, no gain lol. Have had a pretty lazy weekend, but may try and do a little yoga later.
03/18: 202.4- There it is lol. I was pretty lazy this weekend just working on school (master’s), didn’t even get out of pajamas yesterday! Done well, so far, on food today.
03/19: 201.5- Did some heavier weights, so while I’m down again today I feel like it might go up tomorrow. Pretty sure I’ll hit my 2L of water today (should probably drink even more than that, but I don’t even always get in the 2L)
03/20 201.5- Not much to report today. Didn’t get my workout in… may try and do a little extra tomorrow since I’m off.

OSW 199 (June 15 2018)
Female, 5' 4 1/2 " age 53
Hi. My name is Trina. This is my eighteenth round. I mostly missed the last two rounds due to travel and appendicitis recovery. I'm back in the swing now, and ready to start logging my food again. I'd been really consistent on the food log since June, but didn't log while I traveled (did IF to keep calories in check), didn't bother logging while recovering from appendicitis because I had no appetite and my calories were to low to share . And then didn't log another week because my sister was here. This week I am running out of excuses, so I am getting back into the habit! Happy to say that I have met my original goal weight set in June and am just barely in the normal BMI range. I was not at all convinced I could do it when I started and expected it to take much longer! I have reset my goal weight to 135, to be more solidly in normal BMI, and am trying to remind myself that I should expect those last 10 pounds to be slow... Hope everyone has a great round!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 142.5 Today was apparently a whoosh day, and yesterday was high. Would love to still be here (or even 142) in 10 days!
03/15 141.5 Surprised, but weighed a couple of times. My weight always bumps around! Skipped the gym today and just went for a walk. My abs are not quite back up to speed and I felt like I should probably give them a break. As another note. Today is an 11 year low weight. I haven't weighed this since I achieved weight watchers lifetime status in March, 2008. I think it took me 9 months to lose from 150 down to 142 and I did not manage to stick at that weight at all. This time it probably only took a month and a half and I feel much healthier, better, stronger (and not nearly as hungry!
03/16 142 Skipped the gym yesterday to give my sore intestines a break! Went for a 3 mile hilly walk and did 50 flights of steps at home. All in all met my 12,000 step goal with 100 flights of stairs per my fitbit.
03/17 141.5 I'm really liking this 10 days! Zumba in the morning followed by a 3 mile walk yesterday.
03/18 143.5 Within calories yesterday, but clearly too many brownies. They were yummy, but the carbs may have made me retain water. I was going to complain and then I noticed this was my round goal weight, since I started high.
03/19 142.5 Happy it came back down. Exercised pretty hard yesterday: 1 hour walk, 1 hour strength, 1 hour zumba. My gut didn't complain too much which was nice! Happy day everyone!
03/20 144 Walked yesterday with a friend. Makes it so much fun! Also made homemade mozarella cheese, which was a bit TOO delicious. And was in a bit of a snacking mood. Hopefully this is just a temporary blip up. I didn't drink enough water yesterday, which also makes my scale go up.

Current weight: 143.1lb - it has been a long and slow journey with too many sweet things and food impulses on the way!
Round 71 – 1.6lb UP!!!!
Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 – 143.5lb – need to try tracking for the next few days and see if that helps the scales to go in the right direction!
03/15 - NWI
03/16 – 144lb – why?!?!? I had a couple of small glasses of wine after a busy week. My target feels such a long way away!!
03/17 – 144lb – no change - not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing!
03/18 – 143.7lb – ok I suppose. Will drink more water today and I’ve tracked what I’ve eaten. Also been to body combat and done over 10,000 steps for the day.
03/19 – 142.9 so drinking water helped along with the tracking. Walking and body combat are my normal activities, but drinking extra water and tracking aren’t, so there’s my scientific experiment! I now need to drink more water and track better! I somehow think it’s not that easy!!! ;-)
03/20 – 143.5lb – Looks like I need to work harder!

I’m in again! Hoping to go down a few pounds this round. I love this group!! Good luck everyone! 😀
Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 198.4 up 1.2 pounds from yesterday, ate more than I should have for dinner (darn delicious French fries!😩) did make it on the treadmill, felt heavy and tired, but got the full 31 minutes in. Hoping to be down to 195 for this round.
03/15 199.2 up a little bit, but I’m ok with that because I felt stronger on the treadmill and was around goal for calories. Today will be a different story, having dinner out and it’s the weekend! 🤷♀️
03/16 200.2. Just like I figured, went overboard on eating. The husband is working this weekend so I can focus on my eating (or not eating) and getting my workouts in. I just need to make it through the weekend and no excuses!
03/17 199.6. Feeling good about the little loss. Kept calories down. Had a huge sugar craving at night but fought it and did a juice instead. Then made crackers out of the leftover pulp! My first attempt, need some work but pretty impressed. Today’s agenda includes house cleaning, groceries and meal planning (for a successful week) bring it in strong for the week everyone! ✋🏻👊🏻
03/18 198.4. Yea!! Made it through the weekend. ☺️
03/19 198.4. Holding steady. The husband is working the next three nights, I will be using the treadmill.
03/20 197.6 four more days, I can do this! I did w2d1 on the treadmill last night. (Couch 2 5k) I’ve started that program over so many times and have never finished it! 😂 but I love the app. Will be using it again tonight, I don’t know why I can’t remember that it’s kinda relaxing and that I should keep using it, be more consistent.

3/18 155.6 🙄 all will be fine. I will return to my plan; my food selections have been healthier/tons of walking/micros/macros better. Thinking this is sodium, aka restaurant meals. I didn’t eat sugar except for 1 dessert 3/15. Appetite was high last night- salt seems to trigger. This is a BIG ah-ha❣️

SO, all this time I thought it was SUGAR.
It’s SALT and FIBER. So my eating out reduces my fiber & increases my sodium.
I didn’t have cravings before. I’m determined to reset things.

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.
03/18 236.8. Back to work, boohoo. Very busy and stressful day. Didn't sleep well last night and had a terrible neck/headache all night and today. Finally took some Aleve and it helped tremendously.
Don't know why it takes me so long to think of taking a pain reliever.
Did a yoga DVD and the whole family participated (6 year old took a break to eat some Rice Krispies). Back felt a lot better after.
Still feeling dehydrated all day.
This was the most “normal” day since the start of the challenge.
03/19 235.2 . Did not have a big enough dinner last night. Got a headache again today. Definitely still overdoing it on sugar.
03/20 236.2
My aunt had a stroke 10 days ago. My mom put her on the phone tonight for a few seconds. It was wonderful!
Family history of stroke and heart attack are something to start taking seriously. I want to live my best life possible.

March 17: 202.0 - Had a rough night, woke up to this 😣
March 18: 201.0 - Right direction, at least... cautiously optimistic I’ll get to see a loss for the round. 👌🏼
March 19: 200.8 - There’s that low again. Come on body, you can do it! 🤞🏼
March 20: 200.0 - New low!! My body is not going to let me see ONEderland without a fight. 😆

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14/19. 211.8#. Taking a one day break from working out today. Back at it tomorrow. Had a great day! Feeling good! Didn't stay under the recommended calories, but I stayed under 2,000. I'm pleased with that.
03/15 211.8#. I'm down 2.2# from last Friday. Workout-strength. It's Friday. Fasted most of the day.
03/16 210.2#. I'm 0.2# from my goal weight. This week I have been feeling so much better! I've had a cookie that wasn't home cooked, otherwise I'm at 13 days of not eating processed food. I worked out 5 days this week. Today will be #6.
03/17 210.6#. One thing I learned today: don't eat 2 servings of a new recipe and then figure out how many calories it is. Not good! If I figure in my exercise, I'm under 2,000 calories. Only 56 ounces of water today.
03/18 211#. Totally went nuts at supper. 3 servings of alfredo even after knowing the calories. No motivation for anything. Didn't workout today. Super lazy.
03/19 210.8#. 30 minutes exercise. 1,526 calories in. 66 oz water.
03/20 210#. GOAL REACHED. New goal 200#. Ate when hungry. Had a couple major cravings today, but I didn't give in. 1,517 calories in. 88 oz water.
