OSW 199 (June 15 2018)
Female, 5' 4 1/2 " age 53

Hi. My name is Trina. I've been mostly in since round 54, with a break for travel to NYC, appendicitis, and spring break. We spent spring break in Utah, day hiking in the national parks and logged 60 miles over 8 days. On vacation, I ate protein for breakfast, a reasonable lunch, a bit of gorp while hiking, corn chips after hiking (for the salt) and a large but protein & veggie heavy dinner. I didn't log, but mostly paid attention to what I ate. Happy to say that all the hiking meant I still ended up with a bit of a loss. I have about 10 pounds left to my current ultimate goal weight. Still hoping to get a bit leaner! We can do this!!!

Too tired to say much. Took my dog for a long evening walk. She's been missing out on that the last few days.

Still getting big losses, waiting for the bounce or stall. I was hoping to be below 180 at the end of this round, being below 180 after 3 days is not real.

In for my 6th round, they seem to just fly by. In the beginning no matter how well I did with calories and my exercise I put a pound on, this was disappointing because I was not over eating. Finally started the right direction again which was very pleasing. So hang in there, it will happen in time.
I have one goal, and it is to be 201 by Easter (goal is from another group I am involved in).

Day/Weight/Comment
04/03: 188.2 Same as yesterday.
04/04: 188.6 Last month around the same time, I stayed the same for about a week. I kinda wonder if it's because I'm ovulating. The timing would be about right, but I don't track my cycle. I'm still eating at a deficit, so here's to hoping it's just ovulation!
04/05: 187.8 A slight drop! I'll take it!
04/06: 186.8 I like that drop even more! Today is my Friday, my off days are the hardest for me so I'm hoping it doesn't bounce back up. Must. Drink. Water...

Female, age 41, 5'6"
SW - 150.1 (starting on 3/25)
Ending weight round 72 - 145.3
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's
Goal for round 73 - drop 1 pound. I know the big drop in round 72 was a lot of bloat/water weight since it was my first one. I want to lose at a realistic pace for my current weight. 1 lb every 10 days is sustainable and I have a better chance of keeping it off.

4/3 - 146.2. Well, that stinks. Starting the challenge up. Wins yesterday - squeezed in a weight lifting session even though I didn’t think I would have time (traveled yesterday). Lots of areas for improvement though. Went over my calorie goal thanks to eating out and TOM cravings. Didn’t drink enough water. Goal for today - do not graze all day! I’m working from home and tend to eat all day since I’m close to the kitchen and no one else is home.

4/4 - 146.6 UGH. Wins yesterday - 45 min bodycombat class and long dog walk. That's about it. Didn't drink enough water, had a mini-binge late afternoon. Not a full on binge as I've been known to do, but enough that I went well over my calorie goal. I don't know if it's the restriction/binge cycle popping back up (full disclosure - I've had that issue in the past which is why I took a long break from MFP. After a few weeks of tracking I see it as a restriction and I rebel and binge), or if it's TOM issues, or a little of both. I'm working in the office today so hopefully I'll stick to the food I brought to work. No temptation of my own kitchen like yesterday. Will work on hydration and not bingeing today.

4/5 - 145.9 back in the right direction at least but still over last round’s ending weight. makes me nervous heading into the weekend but I hope it motivates me to focus. Wins yesterday: 45 min RPM class, long dog walk, hydrated well, did not binge, slept well. Area for improvement today - stay within calorie goal. Proud of no bingeing but I was over calorie goal a bit. Working from home again today so I need to stay away from the kitchen.

4/6 - 145.5. Trending down again so that’s good. I’m surprised actually. Wins yesterday - Zumba and a dog walk, hydrated well, slept well. I went over calories and snacked more than I should (which is why I’m surprised the number went down!). I’m going out to dinner with friends tonight. Goal is to not go overboard. Keep up with calories and water intake the rest of the day so dinner doesn’t push me too far over.

Day 4!

04/03: 184.6 lb. Feeling good about this because last week was a rough week in terms of food consumed. Going to walk on a treadmill this morning and have already planned my food for the day.
04/04: 183.4 lb. Wow! After a stressful day at work yesterday and only just meeting my calorie goal on my Garmin, I did not expect this. I am sure some of it is bloat/water, but that is encouraging. I’m working from home today so I will need to be mindful of not snacking in the pantry and sticking to my normally packed snacks for the office. I am also looking forward to my strength workout tonight.
04/05: 183.6 lb.Definitey not bad to be almost status quo from yesterday. I drank a lot of water yesterday (160 oz) and did an intense strength workout. I’m working from home again today and planning on a cardio session tonight at the gym. We are going out tomorrow to a brewery or two with some friends, so I’m not going to eat out tonight like I normally do.

04/06: 183.0 lb. Today’s mantra is going to be moderation. I am going to set a goal for myself to only have one beer at each brewery (or samples equivalent to one drink) today, and plenty of water. I am going to do a lower body workout this morning so that I at least have some exercise minutes to add for the day. I’m also setting the expectation that if my number goes up tomorrow on the scale, that it’s okay and that I’ve had a great week so far overall. Happy Saturday!

04/03 177.7 I have been around the same weight for more than 2 months. My exercise is better than it's ever been in my life. I haven't been over calories more than 3 or 4 days in that time period. It makes no sense to me. I feel like a fraud when people mention my weight loss. I want to scream yes, I was doing very well but now I'm seriously stuck. My stress level isn't particularly higher than any other time. I'm traveling a lot for work, but no more than I did last year. I'm getting as much sleep and water as I was before. Really I can't figure out what's changed. It's like I hit the midway point and my body said - nope this is good enough for you.

04/04 179.9 I know I didn't gain 2 pounds overnight. I did the circuit training for an hour, came home to work in the yard for an hour. I had a salad and a bowl of soup for dinner. My calorie goal is now 1640 and I came in at 1556. I didn't even hit my calorie goal much less eat back any workout calories. I've had a little cold for a week or so, maybe that's something. I woke up a little achy all over I wasn't sure if it was the cold or the yard work, which uses different muscles than the gym apparently. I felt like giving up when I saw that number this morning. To hell with it all, let's go get pancakes and bacon for breakfast. Instead I came to work and had oatmeal. I'll have a sensible sandwich and some veggies for lunch. Blah blah blah What's that they say about insanity... doing the same things over and over again expecting a different result.
EDIT: Obviously feeling sorry for myself. I apologize for the whining.

04/05 176.4 Three and a half pounds gone in one day. Whoosh! I am sorry I am such a downer lately, it's just so frustrating. I got some other news that might make a difference as well. The app I use, Mapmyfitness, updated the way they calculate calorie burns and it's considerably lower. I hope this makes a difference. Maybe speed things up. I got in 4 fast miles yesterday (fast for me 1:05). I've also been doing a plank challenge. Five minutes in 30 days. Last night was 40 seconds, tonight 50 seconds. I don't think it burns many calories but it can't hurt either.

04/06 174.2 Whoosh again! You know you’ve been retaining water when you lose 5.7 pounds in two days. I had a short walk yesterday and an hour in the yard. Winter did a number on my old trees; I had an estimate of $700 to clean it up. Instead I’ll clean it up and burn calories!!!
