Had a lot of salt yesterday, and I woke up super sore today. It's going to be a struggle to get my steps in.

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.
03/21 134.2 t = 136.4 happy about this drop, but I still need to improve my water and cardio. Didn't end up doing the 5k yesterday, but I did do a nice long walk to get my nails done.

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.
03/21 – 160.8 – So, almost back to where I started … not sure that that is progress. No gym yesterday as DH got the car in to get windshield replaced and new rear view mirror. The mirror fell off a couple of weeks ago and we have been waiting to get it fixed since. No way I want to do a long trip and city driving with no mirror. I did shovel some snow though. We have one spot on the yard that gets snow blown on it from the road so it’s full of salt and gravel. If you shovel it back on the road before it all melts it is way easier than trying to get the gravel later and of course the salt just goes in the ground. When we first moved here I thought that was so weird – people spend all winter shoveling snow in piles and all spring shoveling it onto the road to melt.

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.
03/21 - 150.9 made it to my goal this round. Now I just have to hold onto it for 2 more days!

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!

** ROUND 71 **
# 7 for me
GW end of round – 372
GW 299 – End of 2019 (6.2)
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.
03/18 372.6 (-1.0) - This week has been awesome. Since last Monday I have lost over 8 pounds! Finally consistently going down. I have revamped my game plan going forward and feeling good. Now to just keep the consistency going is the real challenge. But I am going to do it! Glad to finally wipe out the gain for this year and see the 1 pound on my ticker. I got in another 7 hours of sleep last night too. Sleep is a key factor for me. It helps me stay focused. I can definitely tell the difference when I get in those zzz’s!
03/19 369.6 (-3.0)- Now to stick the new decade! Yay! I know this is going to slow down but I am going to enjoy every minute of it for now and try to keep it going as long as I can. lol
03/20 376.2 (+6.6) - I had 2 items yesterday with a lot of salt and I did overeat but not to the tune of 7 pounds. So we will see tomorrow. I sorta got back on track today. Had a salad for dinner tonight and resisted fast foods but had sweets at work. So I will see what my buddy says in the morning. Nite nite.
03/21 372.4 (- 3.8)Yeah!! Got my 7000 steps and 6 hrs of sleep. Over my points but no fast foods. Had a salad for dinner and drunk plenty of water to get rid of that salt. I saw 360’s this morning. I am really shooting for 369 by Saturday. If not I will still be at my goal for the end of this challenge. I had an awesome session with my therapist Tuesday too. She is very good.

03/15 154.5 (so happy to see a 4! Have been at 155 for several days)
03/16 154.5
03/17 154.4 hoping I can stay around this number through Wednesday (TOM starts approximately) I didn’t drink enough water yesterday so will hydrate more today
03/18 154.4
03/19 154.5, the last three rounds have been a bit frustrating. I’m going to work on eating the right food, instead of whatever food fits in the calories the rest of the round and to try to eat earlier (because of work I had dinner at 9:30pm last night)
03/20 154.5
03/21 154.3, hoping to lose some of the water weight from period by Monday of next week. Yesterday was my 100 day of tracking with MFP, so still proud of that even if the last three rounds have had slow weight loss compared to the first two months.

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.
03/21 200.7 – Nice! Worked out this morning and then had my monthly massage. I did end up eating lunch out and thought I’d completely blown my calories because I had Cheetos and didn’t even look at the nutritional info! Logging later and they weren’t nearly as many calories as I thought!

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.
03/18 372.6 (-1.0) - This week has been awesome. Since last Monday I have lost over 8 pounds! Finally consistently going down. I have revamped my game plan going forward and feeling good. Now to just keep the consistency going is the real challenge. But I am going to do it! Glad to finally wipe out the gain for this year and see the 1 pound on my ticker. I got in another 7 hours of sleep last night too. Sleep is a key factor for me. It helps me stay focused. I can definitely tell the difference when I get in those zzz’s!
03/19 369.6 (-3.0)- Now to stick the new decade! Yay! I know this is going to slow down but I am going to enjoy every minute of it for now and try to keep it going as long as I can. lol
03/20 376.2 (+6.6) - I had 2 items yesterday with a lot of salt and I did overeat but not to the tune of 7 pounds. So we will see tomorrow. I sorta got back on track today. Had a salad for dinner tonight and resisted fast foods but had sweets at work. So I will see what my buddy says in the morning. Nite nite.
03/21 372.4 (- 3.8)Yeah!! Got my 7000 steps and 6 hrs of sleep. Over my points but no fast foods. Had a salad for dinner and drunk plenty of water to get rid of that salt. I saw 360’s this morning. I am really shooting for 369 by Saturday. If not I will still be at my goal for the end of this challenge. I had an awesome session with my therapist Tuesday too. She is very good.

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. Fitbit info for yesterday: 2061 Calories Out. 7,275 Total Steps. 3.08 Miles. IF 12:12. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 18 minutes. No exercise yesterday so I made up for it today with a long walk. On the road again tomorrow & heading home. Had my days mixed up, pot luck would have been tonight so I guess I missed it. I am packing healthy low carb snacks for the road tomorrow to minimize the damage. I will try to make decent choices at any restaurants & carry some water in the car.
03/22 ….. ….. Daytime travel home today. Oh My!
03/23 ….. ….. Final round weigh in. What is the total damage? Covering my eyes when I hit that scale!

03/14 - NW - Getting ready to head out to the Y to workout. Already ate breakfast and took morning meds. Gotta catch the bus to get there. Will probably do more walking later to get all my steps in.
03/15 - 298.4 - NC - Yesterday I did the treadmill for 30 mins, bike for 30, and then hand weights. I won't be going to the gym today as I am fasting due it to it being Friday and Lent. I'll stop my fast for dinner due to medication which will put it at about 24 hours since I last ate anyways. I see my dietitian today, and I think I am going to skip out on Transitions today. I just don't feel like it. Thinking about it makes me anxious. My CSS may be disappointed, but oh, wells.
03/16 - NW - Yesterday was a rest day for me. The first in about in a month. Today I went to the Y, used the treadmill for about 32 minutes, NuStep 20 minutes and hand weights. Food is on point for the day. Going to just relax for the rest of the day.
03/17 - 295.0 - I'm glad to see the scale unstuck and moving again. I am not sure if I am going to the gym today or just walking around the community room or possibly, outside. I'm running out of lettuce and tomatoes, so...I might make a trip to the store, I might not. We'll see how the math goes with what I have for groceries for the rest of the week until the 26th. I've got some math to do.
03/18 - NW - I did a lot of cleaning yesterday and more to do today to finish off. I will be doing my walking around the community room as there's not enough time to go to the gym with the appointments that I have today without skipping meals and pills, and I can't do that. Having met my goal of 299 my next goal is going to be 275. My baby, my cat, is staring at me as I type this. I think he's trying to telepathically tell me that his bowl is low on food. So, today I'm going to the library. I'll probably walk around there some as it's a big place, and I don't have my hooking (crocheting) materials right now.
03/19 - 293.8 - I did not get my walking in yesterday. I fell asleep in the evening. I have worked on straightening up my apartment the last couple of days I have taken out four bags of trash and two carts of boxes and misc items that were broken but too big for a trash bags. I feel much better in cleaner and more organized space. I plan to attempt to walk later today after my aide leaves.
03/20 - NW - Did Mallwalking today. I walked for an hour and managed to walk about a 5K, I didn't make it to the gym due to the time I got back and had to meet with my CSS and eat. I'm not going to skip meals just to go to the gym.
03/21 - NW - Fell asleep in my chair and stumbled into bed last night forgetting to take my night meds. I didn't want to wake up this morning. I got up and went to a Nutrition 101 class and learned about coconut oil. I then went to the dentist. After lunch I went out for a walk in the park instead of the gym due to the beautiful weather. I walked for an hour and 2.5 miles. It was wonderful. The park behind my building has paved trails, not many, but enough you can kinda take different routes around the park. I came in and walked a flight a stairs before going to my apartment.

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.
03/21 — 193.7 — Ordered a small mocha coffee yesterday and could only drink a small amount. I’d say that is a 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.
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.
03/21 236.8 . Today is my Friday. Hoping to get outside a lotthis weekend.
This app has become unusable for me most of the time. It just won't load anything in the Community tab. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it.10 -

Round #5 for me.
Followed a 1000 calorie diet for the last 5 weeks! Lost some weight during the first 3 rounds but not as much as I expected and the last round was Disappointing for me. I gained .6 lbs
.. Still hanging in there. Got some great advice from other members here and will make some changes this round.. I'm trying now the 5:2 diet, where I'm eating free for five days of the week (up to 1700 calories) and the other two days restrict calories to 500–600 per day. Hope I'll see good results this round.

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.
03/21 209.8#. 97 oz water. 1,455 calories. Felt pretty good today. I've been tired all week, but I haven't gone to bed early either.

Been shopping in my closet!
Saw a friend I hadn't seen for months and she wanted all my diet tips!
Watch strap a hole tighter
03/14 78.2kg maybe... Weirdness from the scale this morning. Bumped into the PE teacher yesterday as I was going for my late run and she took me up hills and all over!

03/16 77.7 kg love a weekend loss.
03/17 77.0kg couldn't be happier! I feel quite dehydrated though so it might go up tomorrow. Also measurement day. Down another 4.5 inches to make 12.5 inches lost overall. Even did the pushups yesterday!
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!
03/19 77.6kg for no reason so no worries. I'll keep within calories and macros and it will go again.
03/20 77.7kg still no reason and that's why I only record weight on Sunday! Pushup yesterday and a short run this morning
03/21 77.3kg back down again as predicted. It does this most weeks!

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.
03/21 236.8 . Today is my Friday. Hoping to get outside a lotthis weekend.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/14 133.2 – yay !! starting with a drop! An hours yoga and just over10 miles walked yesterday. Today is my 1000th streak on MFP.
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.
03/16 132.8 – just over 10 ½ miles walked yesterday
03/17 133.4 – 5.81 miles walked yesterday
03/18 133.4 – 12 ¾ miles walked yesterday in our Local Area of Natural Beauty, heard the first skylark of spring singing !! Yay !
03/19 133.0 – 10 miles walked yesterday
03/20 133.0 - just over 10 miles walked yesterday, did momentarily see 132.4 on scale this morning, but it was just teasing me !!
03/21 133.0 -10 ½ miles walked and an hours yoga class done. Yet again the scales tamtalised me with flashing 132.4 momentarily!!!
03/22 132.4 – yay!! I knew persistence would eventually prevail! - 8 ¼ miles walked pushing my little grandson in his pushchair whilst he had his afternoon nap 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. I also joined the gym yesterday so I can do my training another day during the week. I am out on Saturday night so i'm trying to save a few hundred calories here and there so I don't go over my weekly calorie goal.
03/15 - 274 - So achy from Wednesdays PT session! It's just over 9 weeks till my cousins wedding and I told myself I was going to complete the C25K before it. So going to start that with some friends tonight. Got a busy busy weekend this weekend. Up first thing tomorrow to get the horses done, PT session at 9, meeting up with friends at 10:30 for breakfast, at a 1st birthday party in the afternoon and then an engegement party at night! Hope I can track my food and alcohol for the day! Started the C25K
03/16 - 272.2 - Had a PT session, out for breakfast, at a buffet lunch and takeaway tea!
03/17 - 274.2 - Ok with this after yesterdays food!
03/18 - 273.4 - One off PT session tonight with the OH
03/19 - 273.2 - Did W1 D2 of the C25K
03/20 - 272.6
03/21 - 272.2 - Had a great training session last night. It was only me who turned up so I ended up having a personal one! Started doing deadlifts with barbells.
03/22 - 272 - Went for a run again last night, I really struggled with my legs. It's something that i've had a while. My earliest memory of it was about 16! It doesn't happen every time but when it does it's just so painful, almost like that painful stage of cramp. I started getting it during my warm up so knew I wasn't in for a good session. I had a quick google and located the pain in the Peroneal Tendons. No idea what it could be. Meant to be running again tonight.

03/19 - 61.1kg (-0.6) - Back on plan. 3 weeks and 5 days until my boyfriend arrives... Not that he is going to give a *kitten* how much I weigh after 3 months apart lol but I'd like to be back in my maintenance bracket.
03/20 - 60.2kg (-0.9) - Light dinner last night so not going to get too excited about this number. May still make goal this round though which would be good! Just heading out for my run and pre-logged my food. Feeling strong!
03/21 - 60.2kg (0) - Happy to see this number holding but I'd love to see a number starting with a 5! Working from our Glasgow office today, where they always have the tastiest treats in the kitchenette. Brought my own snacks and will avoid even going in to the tea room! Wish me luck.
03/22 - 60.2kg (0) - I am stuck on this number! I had a strong day yesterday - was feeling terribly emotional and still made good choices about what to eat, chose a salad when out for lunch with a colleague, avoided treats in the coffee room and went for a run even though it wasn't in my plan. And scored a NSV! I ran my fastest ever 5k yesterday, despite having been laid out with a shoulder injury for the last 6 weeks! Feeling very proud

03/14 - 209.6 - up 1.4. No idea why, but today I will be super good to get back to where I was. Very good food wise and plenty of brisk walking
03/15 - 208.2 - back to where I was. Not a lot of exercise today. And not at home so eating was a little off.
03/16 - 210.6 - omg where did that 2.4 lb come from? Was expecting to be up but 2.4lb? Food ok, exercise none!
03/17 - 208.6 - weighed later than usual. Food ok but no exercise again. Another day of eating on the run.
03/18 - 211.8 - back to the 208s again. Food was good. Plenty of water and a 7km walk around my couch to 5k.
03/19 - 208.6 - very good food and water. And I managed a yoga class and a brisk walk. Not a long walk but at least I made the choice of 25 mins walking while I was waiting instead of grabbing a quick coffee.
03/20 - 207.6 - finally below my start weight! Good day food. Not as much exercise as I would like but I squashed in 2 shorts walks.
03/21 - 206.8 - good food and plenty of water. Squashed in a good walk.
