No sport last week, eating without tracking, refrain from weighting. In general, at a very low energy level. Go to bed yearly and sleep till the last minute

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!
2/29 132.8 t = 134.1 😃
1902 cal in; 1929 cal out ✔️
I ended up doing a super short jog last night when the rain stopped. It was nice but today I am sore. Last night I wasn't hungry for the 1900 cals but I really don't want to lose anymore weight so I ended the night with more raspberry truffle Haagen-Dazs ice cream! That stuff is calorie dense and delicious, it makes it easy to add an extra 450 cals at the end of the day! Although I did go to sleep full which was weird.
Today maybe I will try to have a bigger breakfast.
3/30 133.4 t = 134
1963 cal in; 2021 cal out ✔️
There's that jump in the scale I was expecting from food bulk in NY system! But I'm not worried for two reasons A) I know it's physically impossible to gain a pound of fat from the amount of calories I'm consuming/burning in three days.
I'm still at the bottom of my maintenance range, gaining is good!
(Part of me does want to end the round at a loss, but I know that has to end sometime since I'm in maintenance 😂).
Yesterday was really good activity wise. I had a long walk and did 50 min of yoga.
3/31 132.8 t = 133.8
1775 cal in; 1953 cal out
Yesterday was such a nice day. It was 70 degrees so we just went and sat in the sun at the park. Today I have an interview with a new family to work for so I'm getting excited for that! I'd also like to go for a jog later to enjoy this beautiful day.
Tonight I'll be staying in a hotel room as I'm gonna go help my friend with baby-sitting while she's in meetings tomorrow. I'm super excited as her child seems very sweet.
4/1 133.6 t = 133.8
2493 cals in; 1993 cals out
This hotel is fancy AF. We are in wine country and it shows. The hotel room has a scale! Hopefully it's accurate 😂
Super surprised I didn't gain more. Last night was the biggest meal I've had since I started my journey in January. I ordered and ate all of a bacon avocado cheese burger and side of fries and drank my whole glass Pinot Gricio.

03/24 - 149.6 Up a bit but it was pizza night. Haven't been feeling well but feeling better today. Still a little scared to eat though!
03/25 - 149 Scales going in the right direction! Ate small amounts all day. Still fighting this stomach thing but it seems a bit better today
03/26 - 149 Was happy to see it there...was at BIL for supper and he bought pecan pie for dessert - which I had because everyone else did. But it was 9:30 - I never eat past 8 so I was worried...but all good!
03/27 - 149 Well at least it didn't go up. Had a few(8) chips last night and couldn't sleep. Gut was killing me again. Thinking I might have to do a gut check and call the doc....uuuhhhgggg
03/28 -148.6 - Had my doc appt today. She thinks it's an ovary that keeps twisting and untwisting that is causing all the pain...really?? I have another appt in a couple weeks to check things again. But because nothing hurts today nothing was showing up. "As soon as the pain lasts more then an hour you should head to emergency...for xrays and stuff...ya whatever!! I so miss my Doc - back from vacay for next appt!!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/24 - 174.8 (FR) - 44g carbs, 36g net carbs. Carbs were: CRACKERS!, dill pickle, olives, celery in tuna, peanut butter, eggs. Yesterday was my last day of the 2 week 12/12 IF protocol. I will do it again if I think it's necessary, but only for one week. Week 1, I was definitely hungry at the end of the 12 hr fast. Week 2, I did not feel hungry until the 15th hour. My body was beginning to reset itself to my normal 18 to 20 hours of fasting.
3/25 - 173.8 - 29g carbs, 23g net carbs. Carbs were: eggs, strawberries, cabbage, cashews. My body is tired from my workout yesterday, but my weak lower body muscles are getting stronger. I've also been stretching my very tight IT band every day throughout the day to improve my knee. It's helping. I need my muscle roller massage stick today!
3/26 - 173.8 - 38g carbs, 29g net carbs. Carbs were: cabbage, peanut butter, celery in tuna, grape tomatoes, jalapenos, monk fruit sweetener (has carbs, but all fiber, no calories and no effect on blood sugar 😦??? O-kaaay) Keto friendly, resembles sugar, no aftertaste that I detect. I need to use it, bought it a year ago. The one I have is mixed with erythritol. It's 200-300 times sweeter than sugar, so why the mix? Probably, to stretch it, since monk fruit is very expensive and erythritol also has a couple of similar properties. I do have syrups and a greens food powder sweetened with only monk fruit. Very good, so good that it masks the taste of wheat grass powder which is quite nasty. Monk Fruit Sweetener
3/27 - 176 ⬅abs workout ☺ - 87g carbs, 74g net carbs. Carbs were: fried chicken, salad, cabbage, nuts. I was out all day, tired and hungry. Purchased a small snack bag of nuts, pumpkin seeds and dried fruit bits. 560 calories of really not much dried fruit or pepitas, mostly peanuts. The carb count not okay, but the calories balances the past week. I've been leaving a lot of calories behind and I don't like doing that. Did not take vitamins yesterday. It was bedtime when I thought of them. I need a lot of water to swallow pills, did not want to be running to the bathroom all night.
3/28 - 175.2 - 45g carbs, 39g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, coating on fried chicken, peanut butter, lemon juice, salad dressing.
3/29 - 174.6 - 29g carbs, 24g net carbs. Carbs were: green beans, broccoli, salad, fried chicken, lemon juice. Abs swelling finally coming down! Just in time for another abs workout😅
3/30 - 175.8 - 22g carbs, 17g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, salad dressing, guacamole, ingredients in turkey burger, peanut butter, turkey pepperoni, egg. It's going to be a lot of back and forth with my weight until my body adjusts to my exercise. All muscles are firing! Feels good to get back to it on a consistent basis, been a long time.
3/31 - 174.6 - 59g carbs, 54g net carbs. Carbs were: guacamole, peanut butter, 😒 cookies.
4/01 - 177 - 66g carbs, 63g net carbs. Carbs were: pkgd refrigerated crescent rolls (3, BIG mistake!) fried chicken, cabbage, eggs. Woke up with a really swollen knee and a lot of other aches.😩 I know it's from that bread I ate. AND, just in time for the start of my Niece's 30 day walking challenge. 😂 gotta laugh

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.
03/29 - 175.7 I'm not sweating it and neither should you
I was low on calories yesterday and ended up walking again. I swear it's the gym and weights tonight. The rain that was supposed to start last night held off. I can go to the gym either tonight or tomorrow because it's supposed to rain all day today and tomorrow. I'm going to try to do yard work on Sunday. I got an estimate to clear downed branches and limbs - $600!!! So instead I'm having my friends and family over for a yard cleaning party. Pizza, fruit, and chainsaws, I know how to party!!!! I decided to change my MFP setting to a moderately active lifestyle. That upped my calories to 1640. Since I lost at 1700 I think it might be ok. We'll see.
03/30 - 176.5
03/31 - 176.7
04/01 - 176.7 I'm stuck. I didn't post all weekend but I did weigh in each day. I did not have my laptop and dislike posting on the phone. I'm still hopeful for a drop tomorrow. TOM came as expected to throw me off at the end of the round. I took a short walk yesterday and plan on a good 3+ today. I ate badly over the weekend and even went over on calories by probably 500 on Saturday. Right now there is no planned travel this week, and frankly I need a break. Of course I'm a sales person, so if the opportunity comes up I'll be hitting the road. Fingers crossed I'm down tomorrow.

Round 72 (my fourth)
Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4
Round70 TL -3.6 pounds 356.4 - 352.8
Round 71 -3.8 pounds 352.8-349
OSW: 382
RSW: 349
UGW: 160
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.
03/29. 348.4 I was over calories, over sodium and under on my water intake, it could have been worse.
03/30. 347 Tom finally arrived this morning, as did a nice down swing. I didn’t feel well yesterday and I was under calories by a bit, but since that doesn’t happen often and the day before was high I didn’t bother trying to eat more. I figured listening to my body was better than forcing myself to eat. I’m feeling better today so today should be normal calorie wise.
03/31. 346.6
04/01 346.4. I was under the weather again yesterday so I’m a little surprised that I had any drop. I was over sodium and didn’t get in my water. Hopefully today will be better.

2nd Round for me.
R71 SW 161, EW 159.4
R72 SW 158.6 GW 157 something
Original start weight 180 (April 2018). Stopped trying in September (153.4) and back up to 161 (March 2019)
UGW 140 (end of July hopefully)
03/24 158.6 happy with this as weekend eating is so out of routine.
03/25 158.0 surprised by this but I made some good choices yesterday and drank tons of water
03/26 157.2
03/27 157.0 Happy with this. Don’t want to lose too fast.
03/28 156.0
03/29 156.0 happy with that. Going out for a big meal tonight.
03/30 157.6 Not surprised.
03/31 155.8
04/01 155.8 👍
04/0212 -
@mrs_sutsie I wish I could tell you the miracle answer. I have bounced around 150, 151, and 152 for weeks now. I think if I actually saw a 140 something on the scale now I would cry, lol. Maybe next round I will finally break through. Good luck!5
-
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.
03/30 - 151.9 uugghh. Maybe it’s from dinner out last night. I was not expecting the uptick to be honest. I picked the chicken fajitas and ate a ton of the veggies. Only had half a tortilla and mostly stayed away from the rice and beans. I did cave and have a margarita, so maybe it’s from that. Hopefully I will be back down tomorrow. This is the longest and most frustrating plateau I have ever had. I think I am going on 3 weeks of floating around 150 or 151. Today I have to help my oldest move out and into his first place with his girlfriend. They found a really cute condo, but it is just crazy that I have a child old enough to move into his own condo and in with a girl. I really like her and she is good for him, I just worry about them being so young. Lol, they are both only 20 years old, so hopefully they don’t make me a grandmother anytime soon. I am not ready for all of that! On track to get a lot done today and within calories.
03/31 - 152.6 I have no answers anymore. I’m have been eating way under calories for the last couple of weeks. I have tried to stay away from all bread, potatoes, sugar, alcohol, and now I’m cutting out red meat. I have a margarita Friday night and gain almost 2 pounds. Yesterday I moved so much stuff and never stopped. Ate 1 piece of pizza and a piece of cheesy bread. The rest of the day I was on track, gained almost another whole pound this morning. I guess we will see what happens tomorrow. I just have to laugh at this point because there is absolutely nothing else I can do to get out of the 150’s.
04/01 - 152.6 Did well yesterday, so I guess I can be happy it didn't go up anymore. This is actually my lowest Monday bump in weeks. Got my oldest and his girlfriend all moved in to their new place Saturday. Took care of finding shoes and a necklace to go with my daughters prom dress yesterday. She made prom court, so she had to take everything to school today to have it approved by the school. I guess they have to make sure everybody on prom court was dress code approved. Did laundry and made burritos for everybody's breakfast this week and then watched some basketball. So normal busy, crazy weekend. Meals planned for today and trying to drink plenty of water. We will see what I end this round with tomorrow!

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 72 (round 4 for me !) Bring it on !!!
Female age 60
5' 4”
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 !!
03/31 133.4 - 11 miles walked yesterday along Gloucester Sharpness canal with DH, wonderful spring sunshine and fabulous wildlife ?
04/01 133.2 - 8 ¼ miles walked yesterday, majority along the Severn Way, much cooler and cloudier today

@quiltingjaine After I re-read my post I knew it sounded confusing. What I meant was I had stayed away from alcohol and bread for weeks and didn't lose a pound, but I have 1 slice of pizza and I gained a pound. A margarita cost me 2 pounds. I just think it's crazy that I have cut my calorie deficit to the max and cut all of these things out of my diet, but still can't lose a pound. I eat one of those things 1 day and easily gain a pound or 2. Something has to be wrong with that. I know it's just water weight or sodium or whatever and it will be gone in a day or 2 it's just frustrating. I was eating all of these things and never cut alcohol out of my diet and lost my first 30 pounds. This last 10 have been rough though and can't seem to get over this plateau. You would think if I can't lose a pound it would be a little harder to gain 2 over night, but I guess that is not the case, lol.8

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24--213.4 Not sure why the jump on the scale. I ran my 5k this morning!
It was a lot better than I thought it would be since during my c25k training I had only ran at most 3.0km. Now I need to get ready to start my training for a 10k in June. After the 5k I had plan to rest/relax for the rest of the day, but I will go out for a walk later this afternoon to help with any soreness. I have a massage booked for Tuesday, so that should help with any residual soreness.
03/25--214.2 Jump due to soreness from the 5k. I plan on relaxing today. Trainer tomorrow.
03/26--212.5 I knew there would be a drop on the scale when I woke up this morning and didn't feel sore anymore. Tonight is the trainer and then a massage.
03/27--212.0 After talking to my nutritionist we decided that hard cheese would be the next food I would incorporate into my diet to test my sensitivity to it. Well, on Sunday I had hard cheese with all of my meals and then yesterday I could tell that something wasn't right with my stomach when I felt bloated for most of the day and did not have my regular BM. So, hard cheese is out. Ugh! Yoga tonight.
03/28--212.5
03/29--211.2 I forgot to check in yesterday. Had a hard workout with the trainer yesterday and he is so impressed in how much stronger I am getting. Plan is to go for a run tonight and start training for my 10k in June, but it may start raining later and I hate running on treadmill, so we'll see.
03/30--211.5 Went for a 2 mile run today with the dog...it was great. I usually go to the gym on Saturday, but I didn't want to get up early to get to the gym before it gets busy, so I went for a run instead and will go to the gym tomorrow morning. Going out with hubby later to buy new running shoes. Plan is to do some decluttering today.
03/31--210.7 Went to the gym and did my weightlfting. Going out for a long walk with the dog later today and will do somemore decluttering.
04/01--211.2 Starting my 10k training today. Weather is supposed to be perfect so that will be good.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 No Scale
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.
03/27 186.6
03/28 185.8 Another lb of water weight gone. Planning my meals for the day. Good lifting session yesterday.
03/29 185.4 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.
03/30 184.4 yay I'm excited to see this number on the scale again. now if I don't have to see the higher ones EVER again that would be great. Plan for today, Yoga and walking. Planning my food out for the day before I leave the house.
03/31 187.0 wow back where i started. We went out for dinner and although I stayed at maintenence calories for the day, obviously the salt was an issue. Weekends have been sabotaging the scale even though I am not "overdoing" it by the numbers! Drinking water, yoga today, and walking.
04/01 187.2 sheesh. Oh well NSV good lifts in the gym. Trying to hit my protein goal and stay under calories at the same time .
04/0211 -
SW=240.5
Goal= a loss for round 72
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...
03/30 Saturday 232.6
03/31 Sunday 232.6 . Went over my goal by about 500 calories yesterday. Had a couple of deficits earlier in the week, it's going to take a while for me to figure out how to manage my work day/ off day calorie balance. Did make my protein goal before going over on calories. Tried the Sprouts chocolate whey protein and it wasn't great. Have a few other samples to try.
04/01 Monday 233.9 . Went to Pizza Street with the kids yesterday, all-you-can-eat pizza buffet. Let's just say I ate all I could. 😳 Managed to do pretty well the rest of the day, but definitely expected to be up today. Back to work today, thank goodness!

03/24 — 193.3– I had a small sweet coffee filled with chocolate and sugar. Happy that didn’t cause weight gain. Back on plan today.
03/25 — 192.4 — Had a medium, very sweet coffee today. The rest of the day was on plan.
03/26 — 192.7 — Getting back on plan today.
03/27 — 192.1 — Husband decided to get Subway sandwiches for dinner last night. So proud of myself that I passed that up and made myself a healthy dinner (and saved money). I know they have some healthy choices, but I like knowing exactly what I am eating.
03/28 — 191.3 — Made goal for this round. Hope to lose more.
03/29 — 191.1 — I feel “lighter” all of a sudden. Clothes are looser and the jeans I just bought are 2 sizes smaller.
03/30 — 190.4 — I think this may be my “Whoosh” moment. Losing 3 lbs in 1 week isn’t normal for me. Hope it doesn’t bounce back up. I had a very sweet coffee today. Back on plan for dinner.
03/31 — 190.6 — Back on plan today. Finally had someone tell me they could tell I’ve lost weight which felt good. 23 pounds down since January
04/01 — 191.6 — Gained a pound back. But that’s okay, I’m not surprised. Eating lots of greens lately and it’s giving me lots of energy.

03/25 - 196.8 - Awesome, the drop stuck! Had a super busy day with DS yesterday. Drank a good amount of water, but my legs and back are still throbbing! Today is rainy - perfect for a couch, a book, & a cup of tea! ☕️
03/26 - 197.0 ♥️ Anniversary! ♥️
03/27 - 197.0 - Had a great day yesterday. Hope to start seeing scale movement again soon... 📉
03/28 - 197.6 - Hmm. This week’s salty food seems to be causing some retention; I need to rehydrate. 💧
03/29 - 196.6 - Had a great day yesterday with lots of walking - weather was beautiful! 🌤

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 - 289.4 - I walked to church this morning and was glad I made it up the steep hill. I'm getting stronger. It still took my breath away, but the stairs up to the church posed no problem. I plan on walking in an hour for about an hour. Only 14 more pounds to my next milestone goal.
03/25 - NW - I plan to go walking later today. I always think I can't do it, then I prove myself wrong. I've been hitting my active hours as well on my Fitbit. I'm feeling more hungry today for some reason. I'm thinking of eating my snack earlier instead of later. Food is still on point.
03/26 - 291.6 - Not sure what happened. My period is kinda lingering so that could be the source. I didn't get any exercise in, but I did get some more cleaning done. Food is still doing good. I've added in chopped spinach to my meals.
03/27 - 288.4 - Most likely just water weight yesterday. It's gone. Food is going good today. I added in turkey sausage to my breakfast for some extra protein. I have also increased the size of my evening snack as I think my calories were dipping too low. I have been busy cleaning again today in preparation for the housekeeping inspection tomorrow. If my package arrives early enough I will go for a walk around the community the room later.
03/28 - 289.6 - Hmm. Bouncy? I don't know. I'm not really getting my exercise in this week for a variety of reasons. Monday was rest day. Tuesday and Wednesday I was waiting for packages until late. And today my walk I cut short to keep from being brained by a baseball. Two guys were throwing a ball back and forth over the walking path instead of going to a space in the big park that wasn't a walking path. I have been burning some calories by doing a lot of cleaning.
03/29 - 286.6 - Woohoo! I guess maybe this is my new pattern, up then down. Either way it's progress. Fasting today as it is a Friday during Lent still. Just a few more weeks. My inspection was moved until today. I'm going to take advantage and clean the windows. I will have to sweep the bathroom again as Alex used his litter box, of course, and wipe down the kitchen counter from a spinach accident, but the rest is all good.
03/30 - 285.2 - Looks like the fasting helped my weight as well. I did start eating at five and had extra popcorn to ensure I didn't wake up starving this morning. I plan to get some walking in and probably go to the gym. My inspection left me with plenty to do around the apartment STILL. I have to go through my baskets and keep or toss basically. I already rearranged the living room closet. I have to wash all the closet doors and bleach the part of the window sill between the window and the screen. A few other things. So, I tried hard, but just have to try harder.
03/31 - 284.6 - I did good with my food yesterday. I did an episode of Zombies, Run!; Mark, Move and Groove of Rockin' Body with Shuan T, and 30 mins of strength of training total body workout. Today I'll go to mass, and walk some more. Tomorrow I start couch to 5K training with Zombies, Run! 5K training.
04/01 - 284.8 - I slight tick up, but the soreness in my muscles tells me that it's likely just water. I started couch to 5K training, W1 D1. I also did an episode of Zombies, Run!. Food was okay, my calories were higher than usual, but still within my goal.

Hi everyone, I am back. Sad to say I gained a bunch. Lots of emotional stuff and I have gained 15 lbs since January. I am back on track starting now.12

03/24 208#. I need to work more on drinking enough water. Is it your weight ÷ 2= ?? Ounces/day? I'm 5.4# away from my lowest weight. 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.
03/30 206.6#. Whoot whoot! I'm going to try to be better with my water today. I've slack off the last 2 days. Calories in 2,151. Strength training about 12 minutes. I should have skipped the ice cream cake.
03/31 207.2#. And before I knew it, the day was over. I barely ate today. Less than 600 calories. I also was not hungry today. Rode bike for 30 minutes. 61 ounces of water. Calories 599 in.
04/01 205.8#. Binge watching a really good TV show. Half a$#ed my workout. 20 squats, 15 girl pushups, 20 crunches. I think next time I'll do regular pushups. Did 100 ounces of water. Got 3,200 steps in. Calories in 1,163. Daily wanted to munch on something, but I wasn't hungry. Have been getting heartburn more frequently lately. I haven't been eating quite as well lately.10 -
@jlbtnc just want to say congrats on the 206.4#. I too weighed in at that weight this morning 😉 Keep up the good work!8
