JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 72
Replies

So back again for another one. Round 71 I went back and forth between 151 and 150. I expected a pretty good whoosh all week but never saw it. I’m just staying on track and hoping for the best next week. Hoping to finally get back into the 140’s by the end of this round.
Day Weight Comment
03/24 - 150.9 so no whoosh yet. We have our weekly family meal today so hoping for the best tomorrow. Holding steady so far through the weekend. Come on 149 something!
03/25 - 153.6 and there is my Sunday family dinner gain! 2.7 pounds, uuugggh. My husband decided he was going to grill some t-bones last night and they were amazing. We also had grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes with it. Then I decided I needed a couple of mini butterfingers. So the weight is well deserved, I am assuming mostly carbs and food still in my stomach. Anytime I eat steak it stays with me for a couple of days. Had a great Sunday though and back to eating clean today. Looking for that 149 sometime this round.
03/26 - 152.1 Got to love sodium and carbs. Should be back down tomorrow and back on track for a loss by Friday. Have all my meals planned for today and should stay under calories again. Pushing to see that 149 this week!
03/27 - 151.1 am almost back to my starting weight for the round. I was only a couple of ounces away from where I was. The scale flashed 150.7 and then stuck on 151.1. I got off and on a couple of times to try and make 150.7 stick, but it didn't, so I will have to settle for this, lol. Still not feeling 100%, allergies are killing me and now I have no voice. So just trying to drink my water and tea and get through the day. I have a roast in the crock pot for dinner tonight, so that should make tonight easier and I can get some rest.
03/28 - 152.1 no idea why it's up. Ate under calories yesterday and didn't have any late night snacking. Ate a little bit of roast for dinner and a big salad for my side. No mashed potatoes, roll or dessert. Woke up with a really dry mouth this morning, so maybe I am just dehydrated from allergy pills. Going to try and drink more water today and see what the scale says tomorrow. I see another 10 day round of floating around 150-152. Not giving up, but 149 may be in the next round. I think my body is anti-weighing under 150, lol.
03/29 - 150.1 Yesterday I was completely over trying to lose weight. I have been working so hard to get into the 140's it has taken over my life. I was beyond frustrated and was thinking about taking a break from this whole thing. I actually ate about 2 handfuls of cheese combos and had 2 beers when I got home from work. Then I snapped myself back into reality and had a salad for dinner instead of the chicken fried chicken that I had planned on having. I think I have figured out my spikes are due to red meat (steak, brisket, roast)n and eating after 7:00. I know it's great for iron and protein, but I think it stays in my stomach longer than chicken or hamburger meat for some reason. So I am avoiding it for the next week or 2 and see if that is what causes the crazy 2 or 3 pound spikes. I always lose the weight right away, but it really messes up my 10 day and 5 day averages. This morning I got on the scale when I first woke up and it said 150.0, after my shower and stuff it said 150.1. Not really much of a difference, still not 149, so I'm sticking with the 150.1. Staying on track today so far and waiting to see what the next 4 days bring me.

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.
03/29 235.2 So, yeah, a 12 mile bike ride PLUS CrossFit drains a pound or two. Pretty sure that's mostly dehydration. Note to self: WTF dude??? You're not in your 30's...9 -

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.
03/28 185.4 little bit at a time. Good lifting today, I ate at maintenance yesterday and I can really tell a difference when I'm fully fueled up. Problem is that I've been craving carbs today.. even when i stay under calories I puff up if I eat too many. Have a couple of beers allowed for today since it's friday evening! Hope the scale isn't too bad tomorrow.

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.
03/29 172.6 A new low! To be honest I was a little surprised. I’ve been within calories, but work has been stressful. And sometimes when I’m stressed I hold water.
Hubby has been out of town this past week but he’s going to be back tonight! It’ll be so nice to have him back! 🙂

03/25 245.8 First day back at work after a week off and I BONKED, didn’t eat enough. Did walk for 3 miles though, got my protein in and 20g of fiber (chia seed over load!)
03/26 245.2 Went to a wine and food tasting event tonight...ate before I went...didn’t eat a single bite there and less than 4 oz of wine. Yeah me!
03/27 243.0 went to another evening event...ate before I left and didn’t have any trouble avoiding the buffet. I’m not sure if it is all the protein or the chia seeds but everything is going really well so far...don’t want to jinx it though!
03/28 242.2 Third evening event this week and still going strong!
03/29 242.8 Gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted as long as I logged it honestly. I’m sure tomorrow’s weigh in will reflect that. I’m ok with it.

I can say I was less hungry today than the two days before. So my healthy blueberry almond oatmeal yogurt is not only yummy but much more satisfying for longer than the same number of calories in half a bagel and cream cheese.

. Today is day 23 of logging my food. I have officially beat my hubby! I'd he doesn't watch it, I'll pass him on this weight loss stuff. LOL! I did over stuff myself at supper. Homemade pizza. It was so good! Not feeling so good now. 3,808 steps. 124 oz water. 1,325 calories.
03/25 208.4#. My cravings were bad tonight. I went over on my calories. Thank goodness for Zumba! 2,161 calories in pre workout. 9,999 steps.
03/26 210#. I am a bit surprised by this big of a jump.
03/27 208.4#. COMPLETELY blew my calorie intake for today. The last 3 days I have had terrible munchies. Tomorrow I should only eat when my body is truly hungry.
03/28 208.6#. Feeling much better about today than yesterday! Didn't have the cravings today. However I still ate 2 cups of pasta. Keeping the calories well under 2,000 today.
03/29 209#. I'm only down 0.2# for my weekly weight in. Not nearly as good as the last two weeks. I'll take what I can get. I might struggle a bit tomorrow. Eating with extended family.9 -

Week food is planned. Exercise planned. Now to get it done!
Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 187.4 this morning after an evening off yesterday. Lowest weight last week was 186.8 on Thursday, would love to see that tomorrow morning for my official weekky weigh in.....!
03/25 - 186.8 (-0.6) and, back to my lowest weight so far, would love to see a new low tomorrow!
Yesterday I wasn't perfect with my food but drank lots of water and did 16000 steps including a round of couch to 5 k.
Today, I'm out of the house from 9 to 8.30pm for work.... lunch and snacks are packed, but i don't see how I'll manage 10k steps.... let's see if I can surprise myself!
03/26 - 185.8 (-1) wasn't expecting that after just 5000 steps yest and no time to think about water etc. But, I'm taking it! C25K jog done this morning, shower now when brekkie lunch box and to work for an 11.5 hour day again, I will stay on plan!
03/27 - 185.0 (-0.8) happy happy! Below my low weight of last May now.... And so keen to keep on going! Another 11 hour day at work.... what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, now it's time for coffee!
03/28 - 185.4(+0.4) was always going to happen and little ups are just fine. Going to focus on my water today as Thursday is a bit of a treat night. I don't work Fridays so it is my Friday night! Don't want to ruin my hard work of the beginning of the week though so will try and stay in control! I'd love to be in the 184s for my 'official weigh in next Monday......
03/29 185.6 - yesterday I over ate on a pack of choc covered rice cakes before bed and also had a planned gnt. I'm tired, but today I will hopefully have time to focus on my water and make good choices today.... weekends are my nemesis and because I have split offs mine can end up being Friday to Monday. But, this challenge is going to help me to keep control:) happy Friday everyone!
03/30 - 185.8, slowly creeping the wrong way with only myself to blame! Yesterday I didn't eat enough for brekkie or lunch so then had way too many bad snacks in the aft/Eve. Tonight there will be wine but I'm still hoping I can stay under 186 by some miracle and then start heading down again!
It's lovely and sunny here at the moment, so after a morning at work it's going to be book in the park
Happy Saturday everyone!

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – but I am finding it difficult!
End of round 69 134.2 lbs
End of round 70 133.6
End of round 71 132.4
Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 134.8 – gain due to party food at my grandson's first birthday yesterday, travelling for 3 hours and no walking, but a really lovely day – back at it today!
03/25 133.4 – some of the sodium party food gain lost; hurrah!! Just over 10 miles walked yesterday in beautiful countryside and enjoying nature.
03/26 134 – 11 ¼ miles walked yesterday
03/27 133 – 11 miles walked
03/28 132.2 - just over 12 ¾ miles walked yesterday and an hour's yoga
03/29 133 - just over 4 ¼ miles walked yesterday – child minded my baby grandson, took him to a local animal park farm, strolled in the wonderful spring sunshine, did succumb to a piece of lemon drizzle cake in the tea room there !!
03/30 133 - just over 8.25 miles walked. My contact this coming week will be patchy as away on walking week and signal is iffy !!

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.
03/29 235.2 So, yeah, a 12 mile bike ride PLUS CrossFit drains a pound or two. Pretty sure that's mostly dehydration. Note to self: WTF dude??? You're not in your 30's...
What difference is age ? It's just a number and you're only as old as you feel !!! Keep young and keep moving my friend x4 -
When I was losing my early weight I loved "closet shopping", some of the clothes I had forgotten that I'd got!! Don't leave it too long to try them or they might be too big !!!bitewing22 wrote: »SW=240.5

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 Sunday 240.5 Did spend some time being active outdoors today.
03/25 Monday 237.4 Tracked all my food today for the first time since starting this challenge in the last round. Always seem to end up around 14% protein instead of 20%. Tried PB Fit peanut powder mixed with water on toast and liked it.
03/26 Tuesday 237.4
03/27 Wednesday 233.2
03/28 Thursday 233.0 Maybe things will start settling down from some crazy water weight loss. It's a major achievement that I have been tracking and not overeating this week.
03/29 Friday 236.6 Feeling optimistic, like I can do this. Don't want to get ahead of myself, but would love to be able to wear some of the clothes in my closet that are currently too small! My hardest days are going to be my days off. I work Mon-Thurs, so have 3 of those to contend with each week...

03/24: 192.6 - I started out this round with a loss from yesterday! Yesterday was also our 16 year anniversary, we went out and neither of us felt like drinking. Probably saved myself a ton of calories. Hope this loss sticks
03/25: 191.6 - I'm really liking this trend and I hope it sticks around! TOM is almost over so this is a little expected.
03/26: 190.6 - The weight on my drivers license is no longer a lie! This makes me even more motivated to stay on track!!
03/27: 190.6 - I'm surprised. Didn't drink very much water yesterday and had spaghetti for dinner. I stayed within my calories though. I think I'm finally getting the "everything in moderation".
03/28: 190.4 - I'm happy with that.
03/29: 189.2 - I made it into the 180's! I liked seeing that number. Now, just gotta avoid an increase lol
03/30: 189.8 - Barely hanging on to the 180's. I had lots of carbs yesterday and little water. Definitely need to work on more water.

@tess453 Tess, I also work from home. It is very difficult at times because I also can eat & drink anytime I like which is quite different from most of the non-retired working world. I've done pretty well in pre-planning my food & snacks, however, my real temptation is that I AM home so much & when I get out near different foods in restaurants or social engagements I realize I have not actually mastered the art of control since I am always in a "controlled" environment.
The freedom to eat whenever I like, even when working, could cause a lot more weight gain than it does for me. My tool is Intermittent Fasting. I usually do 16:8. That is 16 hours without eating (mine includes my night's sleep) & an 8 hour window to eat. This helps to control the amount of calories & carbs I take in per day & helps me have less hours to eat & snack, just like others who are not their own bosses and work outside of the home. Now, if I could just learn that control away from home & work.........
Thanks for the tip. Someone else has suggested intermittent fasting too so I think I'll give it a go. My danger time is later afternoon snacking due to boredom. I probably need to drink more water too which will probably help.5 -

03/24 – 186.3 – after the last two rounds of very little loss, this was awesome. I just have to keep going even when the scales go up and down.
03/25 – 186.3 – happy with this after have a couple beers yesterday. Still stayed below my calories though.
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.
03/28 – 186.5 – Did a 3-mile walk yesterday. 😊
03/29 – 185.4 – Yes! I did another 3-mile walk. I’ve been logging all my food, not drinking much alcohol, and drinking all my water, but adding in the exercise has been great!
03/30 0 185.0 – So excited! Hopefully it will stay off. If I could get into the 184s by tomorrow, that would be awesome. Recorded all food, no alcohol, and drank all my water.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 - 210 starting this round with an increased weight, due to no one else but myself. I was binge eating yesterday so glad this was not worse than what it is. I have to get my head back in it. Doctor’s appointment tomorrow (check-up and blood work). After this will be assessing things and making some changes if necessary.
03/25 - 210.6 doctor appointment today and blood work.
03/26 – 209.8 the doctor’s visit went great, she is pleased with my progress so far (she did not know I was doing this again until yesterday). I got more blood work, I did not have to get the cholesterol because was good the last time. I don’t have to go back for another 6 months, which is great considering I was going every 3 months at one time. I also, was told not to focus too much on the numbers (example, saturated fats, sodium, etc. – these were concerns being on low cholesterol and with high blood pressure). Lastly, glad the weight is moving in this direction again.
03/27 – 209.4
03/28 – 208.6 I am not sure what glitch I had going on the past several weeks, but it seems to worked itself out.
03/29 – 208.6 I am not worried, it will be going the right direction. I have done so much walking this week and have been over 10,000 steps and the one day walked over 4 miles, for me that is great!

03/24 - 140.5 - I did not expect a lower number this morning. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
03/25 – 140.5 – Holding steady after the weekend is unusual for me. No complaints!
03/26 – 140 – I’ve got some health issues right now, so I’m not sure if this drop over the past week is due to my diet or not.
03/27 – 140.5 – I’m OK holding here, I’ve been trying to up my calories a little without eating extra carbs.
03/28 – 140.5 – OK!
03/29 – 139.5 – Well, I’ve got plenty of wiggle room for the weekend.
03/30 – 140.5 – The weekend bump started and that is fine.

03/24 - 206.0 - down a little. Surprised as I didn't have a great day food wise but I suppose I ate little of the bad stuff. And I did manage a run/walk. So happy with that!
03/25 - 206.8 - back to start weight again. Food was ok yesterday. Could have been better. Spent the whole day walking around but more of a stroll than a brisk walk.
03/26 - 207.6 - not good. Not too bad with food but mane too much bread. This is not a good trend.
03/27 - 205.4 - excellent day yesterday. Excellent food wise and I did a yoga class and a very brisk walk. Hope I keep this loss now.
03/28 - 206.6 - food ok but too much of it and not enough exercise because there was no time. Today will be much better!
03/29 - 205.2 - food a bit too much cheese and no exercise just the usual 10,000 steps but nothing else.
