03/26 – no scale – didn’t eat well and had a couple glasses of wine but recorded everything.
03/27 – 186.5 – I’m ok with this after being out of town for the past couple days. I need to exercise.

First round! I'd like to track 10,000 steps a day on my Fitbit, go to the gym on the days I have it on my schedule, and average a little under my calorie goals to help fit in any unexpected treats/beers. A 2lb loss would be great!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 191.0 lb Pretty pleased! I had homemade pizza and beer last night and had expected a bump on the scale. I'm going out for dinner tonight, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.
03/25 192.2 lb Dinner last night was Chinese food and beer, so nothing unexpected here and I'm not planning on eating out again until the weekend. I walked 10,487 steps yesterday and drank a decent amount of water.
03/26 191.4 lb I had one extra beer that put me a little over calories. 12,557 steps were tracked yesterday and I have a workout scheduled for today.
03/27 191.4 lb My boyfriend "made" dinner last night and got us steak and cheese subs. They were delicious and mostly fit my calorie goals. I also had a 2.5 hour board meeting that had free beer and I had two boozy IPAs. I knew there would be beer, so I didn't snack very much in the afternoon to fit them in. I walked 11,638 steps and did one round of level one from the 30 Day Shred. I'm either going to go to the gym this afternoon or doing another 30 Day Shred. I need to drink more water!
03/28 189.4 lb Crushed my calorie goals. We had trivia night and I ate dinner beforehand so I wouldn't be tempted to get bar food. I burned 350 calories on the elliptical at the gym and tracked 16,643 steps. I had an extra cup of tea and a full water bottle to help get more water in. I've got a fundraiser event tonight with a build-your-own taco bar, so I have good choices planned in my food diary today to fit in a few tacos for dinner.

and only got 8,000 steps. Plan on taking a 5 mile walk around the lake, drinking lots of water and staying
keto.

03/26 192.2
03/27 192.6 Ate under my calorie goal and walked 11,000 steps. Not sure what's up...

03/24 173.4 We’re going to do church this morning, then do family pictures and possibly going out to eat after. It’s going to be a great day!
03/25 174.8 Yesterday was a pretty good day. Even if the morning was jam packed. I did manage to squeeze in a short cardio workout. We did go out to eat after pictures so I'm guessing that's what this little bump back up is about. My son says "We're eating out again!? Why can't we just eat at home?" It made me laugh! We don't eat out often and we've managed to do it three times in one week. And it made me feel kind of good that he'd rather eat at home. 😊
03/26 174.6
03/27 175.2 Hmm weight is creeping up. I ate a little higher sodium yesterday. But drank lots of water. Also got in a short walk.
03/28 173.4 This past week/month at work has been nuts! Can flu season be over already? I did get in an upper body Fitness Blender workout after work and really focused on relaxing.

And we had lunch out. So hopefully after today, I'll start seeing a drop again

Female, age 41, 5'6"
SW - 150.1 (starting on 3/25)
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's
Goal for this 10 day stretch - consistently under 150, see what I can accomplish in 10 days in order to set realistic goals for later challenges.
3/24 - did not weigh or track, "officially" joining challenge 3/25
3/25 -150.1. Wins yesterday - hour long dog walk, 90 min Bikram hot yoga class. Lots of water, coming off a lot of travel it was needed. Goals for today: tracking my food, exercise, drink lots of water. Do my best not to binge eat as I'm in a moment of high anxiety and my eating habits are really bad at times like these. Trying to be very conscious of this today.
3/26 - 148.8. Wins yesterday - 4 mile run, 45 min dog walk. Hydrated well. Tracked food. Didn't binge even though I was very stressed. Ended up over my calorie goal but it wasn't full-on bingeing like I'm known to do. Calling that a win.
3/27 - 148.8. Same as yesterday. Wins - did a tough HIIT class, drank a lot of water, tracked my food, slept well. What I didn’t do well - gave in to a sweets craving at night and went too far over calorie target. I wasn’t hungry, just wanted to eat. Will try to push through those cravings today.
3/28 - 147.3. Big drop! I know it's water weight but it was so nice to see! Had a lot of wins yesterday. Did a weight circuit with a sprinting finisher, drank a lot of water. Tracked all food and hit my calorie goal. I tend to eat way too much on days I work from home, but yesterday I didn't do that. Didn't get a great night's sleep last night so hoping I don't fall trap to being tired and making poor decisions. Plus I will be eating out twice today which is not normal at all - team lunch at work, and my parents are taking us to dinner for my husband's birthday (which is Saturday). Goal is to make good decisions at both of these meals and not overstuff myself.

03/25 187.4 pretty lame. Still working on tweaking my calories a bit lower but definitely overdid it on the weekend. Trying to find my mojo and get back in the game.. I basically feel like I have 5 good days, see a loss, then just gain hit right back every week! On the plus side the gym has been going really well and I feel like I can see some changes in my body there so at least that is going well.
03/26 186.8 Down one lb.. at least we are headed in the right direction! Yoga today. Walked with a friend after dinner yesterday and today for some gentle cardio.
03/27 185.8 Another lb of water weight gone. Planning my meals for the day. Good lifting session yesterday.

I made my trend line goal!!! 🤸♀️
Saturday was so lovely. My parents came down and brought my grandpa and their elderly basset hound Molly. At this point I do think I want to gain weight or maintain so I gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted. Spicy guacamole cheeseburger was delicious! I ate half and my side was a Cesar salad instead of fries. And I drank half my beer. We walked around the creek with Molly since it was a perfect day and then had frozen yogurt. I didn't hold back on the toppings! After they left I plugged everything in to MFP, I had eaten 2,044 calories! Welcome to maintenance! Haha. But I was over my goal so when I went out dancing Saturday night I vowed to "stay sober", I.e. no liquid calories. And according to my Fitbit (and my scale apparently) my exercise calories ended up evening it all out! Yay! Victory!
03/25 133.2 t = 135.2
I need to keep reminding myself "I don't want to lose anymore weight, I don't want to lose anymore weight..." I don't need the dopamine fix of the scale going down. I need the fix of the scale going up! At least to 135 where I felt better. Today I vow to eat to my goal of 1720!
03/26 133.2 t = 134.9 😺
Cal in: 1747; Cal out: 1920. I am super surprised I haven't gained anything since increasing my cals. I am going to check the batteries in my scale later today. I ran out of my go to snack yesterday (Atkins pb bars) and I ordered a replacement but it's a different brand (Pure Protein) and they don't arrive until tomorrow.
03/27 132.4 t = 134.6
1800 cals in; 1987 cals out. I don't understand why the scale went down, it has fresh batteries. But I'm not complaining. Today I will eat 1900 cals!
By 4:30pm yesterday I was only at 700 cals, so I needed to eat over 1000 before bed. So instead of panic, I went to the grocery store to get ideas. I wanted high cal, low sodium. I ended up making myself a steak salad with lots of goddess dressing, and for dessert I had raspberry truffle Haagen-Dazs ice cream and I added 100 grams of real raspberries to give me extra fiber to pass all this food in the morning, haha! Oh and I started my TOM yesterday.
3/28 132.4 t = 134.3
1777 cal in; 1725 cal out
I was not very hungry yesterday and consequently had a hard time sticking to that 1900 cal goal. But on the other hand I was pretty sedentary (only 3,700 steps). So, maybe my appetite is tightly attuned to my activity level? Wouldn't that be nice 🙃 As long as I only ate when I was hungry (and not emotional/bored 🙄🙊) this would be easy 😂
Overall I'm really feeling great! And I hope to go for a jog later today and eat my 1900 cals!11 -

It's a beautiful, sunny day here. Off to the Y for weights and then a walk outdoors. Yay!

Okie dokie. Hangin' out here for a few days. No problem. My crocuses are starting to bloom, birds are courting and building nests in my nest boxes, and the cold wind feels like Spring cold, not winter. All is well.

Weekly Goals:
1200 calories + what I work out only!
drink 3 liters of water a day
lift weights 3x and streaming spin class work out 3x
try a yoga class at a nearby gym - eek! trying new things is so awkward.
The plan!!: Planned out calories and meals for the weekdays already. Just have to follow them and meet my work out goals. We're going away to Austin kid-free Saturday night (WOO!!), so I'm trying to really crush my goals this week so I don't have to deprive myself on Saturday, (but also don't want to totally derail!!) Lol. Planning to lift weights before we leave Sat and hope to walk a lot from the hotel to offset. Planned my meals/calories for the week and for the vacay, I'm thinking about packing healthy travel snacks for the drive and trying to order alternating vodka sodas and just plain sodas or light beers when we go to bars and, (since our friend we're visiting loves barbecue) I'll try and do smoked turkey or chicken with some safer sides. Wish me luck!
Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 - Recovering from stomach bug my son shared with me
(Didn't weigh in.)
03/25 - 183.3 - Survived hormone induced chocolate bowl at work freak out and almost stayed under cal goal. Tracked all (6!) pieces I ate and moved on. First TOM since starting tracking and trying not to get discouraged if my numbers go up. Also drinking extra water. Short dog walk the only exercise I felt up for.
03/26 - 184.0 - Lifted weights over lunch. Definitely feeling weak from being sick, but feel so good after working out. Signed up for my first yoga class in a couple years for tomorrow night. Excited, but def nervous too.
03/27 - 184.4 - Not sure why it's trending up, but I know it is my TOM. Also I had a big drop when I had the tummy bug so my loss a few days ago was not realistic/accurate. Still down from last week for sure. CAN NOT GET DISCOURAGED! Dropping off my car to get new tires over lunch and walking 30 minutes back to the office. There's a nice little trail most of the way back that I usually walk on at lunch anyway. Hubby offered to come get me, but I'd rather challenge myself with the exercise! Yoga/Pilates class tonight was really cool! Looking forward to going back soon.
03/28 - 184.7 - Ugh. Really trying to not get discouraged. I'm making progress and doing all the right things. Hanging in there for sure, it's just frustrating! Lifting weights over lunch.

We went into the final question in 2nd place and then blew it.
Pretty typical as the final questions are notoriously difficult. But, as always, the beer was cold and the company was good.

03/25 239.2 What day am I on here? Man, internet messing up, MFP not letting me update from my phone. Grrrrr... Bumming some WiFi. New low. Down 10.6 for the first 20 days. YASSSSSSS!
03/26 238.2 Ok, hopefully seen the last of the 240's. Thinking about switching to Kg's... but 107.95 sounds a bit too light. Maybe if I do that "stones and pounds" thing. Do I have to say it with a British accent, because my Brit is pretty weak. I do a fairly good Eric Idle being a woman...
03/27 237.6 which comes out to 17 stone, or 107.8 Kg's... or on the Monty Python scale, .35 Mr Creosote, which is equal to 1.037 Cleese. Hoping to get down to an even Cleese by the end of this round.
03/287 237.0 No python fans I guess.... oh well, always look on the bright side of life. Hey, still moving in the right direction. Got a new/old road bike yesterday. Little bit of tuning up, and I'll be pedaling up to the WOD.15 -

Previous Daily Summaries23/03
Not a bad round, I have had shark week and a holiday during this round so small gain was fine with me.
25/03
Had higher than normal carbs over the weekend and had a super active weekend, burned around 5000 calories on Saturday (16km of Rowing, 20000 Steps, Digging rubble out of the garden for 2 hours and a little jogging). So expect weight will subside a little toward the end of the week.
26/03
Went a bit mad with a loaf of bread yesterday, really must remind myself there's a reason why I don't normally keep certain foods in the house. Carbs up phenomenally yesterday again so up on the scale again today. Fibre will probably take care of that tomorrow though
27/03
Bingeing has been a bit uncontrollable this week, no idea what is triggering it in the slightest. Have increased exercise quite a bit as rowing race coming up soon and also taking part in a StepBet challenge. Weight is steadily climbing - seems the more determined I become, the worse I am doing. Think I am going to take a break from food logging altogether for a while and just monitor weight for a while to keep an eye on average calorie intake.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 Didn't Weigh-in
03/25 162.3 (up 17.2 lbs from Round 57 last fall) I'm back, recommitted and ready to tackle this again. I hit my highest weight ever last June and made a plan and stuck with it and lost a good amount of weight. Not enough to get to my goal, but enough that I was in a happy place, and then I got lazy with it all. I stopped tracking everything little thing, I started to go over calories, I'd skip a workout, and then stress started creeping in. I traded in tracking, eating healthy, and exercising, which work for me in managing stress to mindless calorie consumption, poor nutrition choices, and excessive alcohol consumption. A sure recipe for failure. So here I am back to what I know works...tracking every single thing, posting here for accountability, and managing my stress by making myself and my workouts a priority. I feel ready to reclaim me again.
03/26 = 161.2 (down 1.1 lbs from yesterday, still up 16.1 lbs from Round 57 end) Overall a good day yesterday! I was under in calories, in the right target zone for macros, & made healthy food choices. I did feel overly hungry all day but that is to be expected on "day 1" and I resisted all urges to sabotage and binge eat. There was 1 Coke Zero left in the refrigerator, so I did have that but other than that only water and did not have any alcohol. I had hoped to re-start my Betty Rocker workouts but I slipped on something and took a pretty hard fall in my bedroom yesterday. I'm fine(ish) but really tender and sore on my left side, so returning to running and strength training will have to wait a few more days. I plan to attempt some gentle yoga to stretch the kinks out and then soak in a hot Epsom salt bath tonight. Have a great Tuesday everyone! "Believe you can and you're halfway there".
03/27 = 160.3 (down .9 lbs from yesterday, still up 15.2 lbs from Round 57 end) Another successful day food wise! Definitely was hungry and almost gave in to the leftover pizza that was tempting me, but stayed the course & made a delicious healthy dinner instead. I actually prefer to eat healthy, it just takes my body a few days to reacclimate and then I really only crave nutritious things, I'm not a sweets person so that helps! I was still in a fair amount of pain from my fall but another dose of Aleve and a long soak in Epsom salts seems to have done the trick. Much better today! I plan to pick-up my running tomorrow and then add back in strength training the following day. I have a get together with girlfriends this evening, so I have pre-logged my day and plan to eat my healthy dinner (leftovers from last night) before going and am able to fit in 2 glasses of wine into my calorie allotment. So there should be no surprises on the scale tomorrow, fingers crossed!
03/28 = 159.8 (down .5 lbs from yesterday, still up 14.7 lbs from Round 57 end)Yay, under 160! I woke up yesterday and my cravings were gone and no noticeable hunger pains between meals. All good news there! I had a really great time with my girlfriends outing last night but did have some cheese and crackers at the event, I didn't go over in calories but ugh the gluten from the crackers makes me feel this morning like I did. Going to eat very clean today, to try to recover from that yucky feeling. And hoping I can get out for a short run today, as I made plans with some friends last night to run a half-marathon in the summer.

03/24 - 177.5 My body must love to weigh 177 pounds because I've been around here for 40 damn days. Demotivating. I know it's a plateau and I'll get through it, it's my mantra these days.
03/25 - 176.3 Well that's nice for a change. I didn't walk all weekend and at around 1700 calories (adjusting for exercise) for the last week. Now that I'm finally down a tiny bit, do I keep with the 1700 or do I go back down?
03/26 - No scale Travel time again. Drove over last night, stopped at the Katy Trail for a 3 mile walk. It was beautiful. I walked over the Missouri river that is very high, several dams have broken north of here. I took some pics. I'm going to check it again when I drive home tomorrow, see how high its gotten in 2 days. I ended up at 1445 yesterday. MFP tells me 1440 is my calorie goal, so pretty darn close. NSV ALERT: I tried wrapping one of the tiny hotel towels around me and it went around me. I was able to tuck in the corner and half my body wasn't exposed - nothing was exposed. I've been so frustrated with this process this felt like a big win. Gym tonight and and three + on the trail tomorrow. Even if I'm not losing weight I have to be healthier with all this exercise.
03/27 - No Scale Yesterday went well work wise, calorie wise, and exercise wise. Can't ask for more than that. The weather was so nice that I went for a walk instead of weights at the gym. It was a little less interesting than walking over a flooded river but still neat. I got a good pic of the sun through some flooded woods. Every creek/lake is high so there is water everywhere. I know I'm up today, I can tell by the way my rings fit - I'm retaining water. Between travel and eating out (sodium bombs everywhere) I cannot seem to stop retaining water.
03/28 - 175.5 Nobody speak too loudly, I'm at my round goal with 5 days left. Maybe if we're quiet I won't go back up significantly. I did not end up walking on the bridge but instead waited until I got home and walked with an old friend. We had a nice easy stroll. I'm down and happy about it. Supposed to rain tonight so I'll go do weights at the gym.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.
I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. I have been participating in this challenge since Round 40 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

03/27 153.9 today will be my third day in a row of spinning class. I haven’t noticed any difference on scale yet, so hoping that will come soon. March has been difficult because I had a ton of work and social functions so really looking forward to a April when life calms down a bit.
03/28 152.8 new lowest weight! I couldn’t believe seeing this number on the scale, but checked twice to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. Just .2 lbs away from 20 lbs total weight loss from when I started and solidly in size 12 clothing. I tried on my dresses yesterday and will be able to donate the size 16 (around 5 dresses, which felt good). I also just moved out of 29 BMI to a 28 number, so one number closer to 24.9

03/24 347.4. I’m a little surprised at this woosh, I’ll see if it stays. I’m certain tom is starting sometime soon and I usually see a little upswing then, but hopefully I’ll still be solidly in the 340s. My nsv yesterday was staying in calorie goal despite feeling hungry a portion of the day.
03/25 347.8 Not unexpected I had a higher sodium day yesterday and I’m not sure that I got in all my water. I have both a sick kid and a kid who fell skateboarding, she’s okay just bruised, so yesterday was a little rough and it will be a rough day today. My nsv yesterday was not having any of the snacks that my husband picked up to deal with his stress.
03/26 347.2 Looks like I’m really in the 340’s, at least for now. I’ve not only reached my goal for this month, but if this trend continues I’ll be several pounds under where I had hoped to be. My nsv was not having a single bit of the high calorie snacks that my husband got.
03/27 347.8 I’m not surprised by a little gain I took a couple of longer walks yesterday. Both were further than I normally walk, the second one was nearly double the first. I’m feeling those walks this morning so I’m certain that it’s all water and I’ll see my usual pound drop after a bounce around in a day or two. My nsv yesterday were the walks outside, I’m really proud of myself for getting out and doing them.
03/28. 348 Tom should be here soon, I’ve been feeling cramps since last night. I expect once that’s over I’ll see some drops.
