Lately I’ve been on the same cycle of eating well for a week or so, then bingeing for a couple days. I’m hoping this challenge will keep me accountable and on track.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 73 (round 5 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
End of round 72 133.2


Day/Weight/Comment
04/03 132.2 – a nice drop to start, but will it stay down? 6 ¼ miles walked yesterday plus 30 mins swimming
04/04 132.2 - 8 ¼ miles walked yesterday – today we move site to Great Malvern
04/05 132.2 - yesterday woke up to rain, sleet and snow so started the day with 45 mins swimming – rain didn't stop all day – no walking !!

04/06 131.4 - made up for not walking on Thursday by walking almost 14 ¾ miles yesterday and 69 flights of stairs as the first half of the walk was all climbing !! It felt good !!!
04/07 132.2 - walked 13 miles yesterday. Today we headed back home. I have to say that all my life I have never returned from holiday – even a walking holiday like this one, without putting on 4 or 5 pounds! I am so grateful for the support of this ground that at the end of a 10 day holiday I weigh less than when I started it 10 days ago !!

04/08 132.2 – 8 miles walked yesterday – need to not get complacent now that back home & had small loss whilst away, going back to no alcohol in the week will help.

04/09 132.2 – 10 ¾ miles walked yesterday, stayed within calorie limit, no alcohol.

Seem to have been getting nowhere. Have lost 8lb since the start of the year but just been going up and down the last few rounds and getting very frustrated. Seems so much harder than last time - something needs to change but I have to find out what and how. In my head I am blaming peri-menopause (everything is a bit hit and miss and irregular these days!!) but is that an excuse rather than a reason ?

From a motivation point of view, I so need to get under 150 and stay there - summer and my holiday is getting closer ...... so target for this round is 149lb a 1.6lb loss - aiming for slow and steady
I do have 10 clear days to get focused............3,2,1,go!!!!

Starting weight 150.6lb

04/02 - 150.1lb (-0.5lb) - happy with that to start the round. Didn't get to the gym as planned last night - they are moving premises weren't yet finished so had a more relaxed evening (and quite enjoyed it!) Good food day planned and feeling a bit more positive with this good start

04/03 - 148.5lb (-1.6lb) What ??? 2lb in 2 days - no idea where or how but I'll take it thank you. Wish I could explain it as would do it again Carb heavier dinner tonight (home made burgers) so may see this go up a bit tomorrow ...

04/04 - 148.6 (+0.1lb) Very happy that the big drop is staying dropped! No gym again last night as still not quite ready so did go for a (short) walk. Guess I am "in the zone" so hoping it carries on - really not sure what I have changed but going to carry on as is for now as seems to be working at the minute!

04/05 - 146.3lb (-2.3lb) Seriously ???? Over 4lb gone in 4 days having struggled for weeks and weeks. Can't go on forever so am enjoying it while I can - weight loss isn't constant but obviously all my work the last few weeks is paying off - just only showing on the scales now. All I can put it down to is that the last week I have been drinking more green tea rather than normal (english) tea and milk even though the milk was part of my daily calories - that is all that has changed. So sticking with plenty of green tea for now!

04/06 - 146.20lb (-0.1lb) - definitely wasn't expecting another big loss today! Really pleased with this as at least the loss is holding at the minute. Got in a 1hr gym session yesterday and 10k steps and feeling good at the minute. Good food day planned (including our within calories full on Sunday roast with dessert tonight!) so the scales often show a higher weight on a Monday but hoping to STS tomorrow. Target for the end of the round is adjusted to maintain this weight (although extra happy if a bit more comes off!). Happy Sunday everyone x

04/07 - 146.4lb (+0.2lb) - I will count this weekend as a success - Up 0.1lb even with Sunday roast last night, a glass of wine too and a few after dinner mints. Looking forward to this week as should be no distractions and aiming for a continued loss over the next 5 days although not going to predict anything as this round has been so bizarre! Good food day planned today although I am at work all day today rather than my usual half day on a Monday so wont get my usual Monday walk in

04/08 - 145.8lb (-0.6lb) - I am gobsmacked my weight is still dropping this round. I am feeling so much better though, bloatedness has gone and most importantly I am have been logging every single morsel that passes my lips. Not sure what I wasn't logging before so going to give the credit to the green tea I've been drinking Seeing the weight finally come off though does give me a boost and am feeling so motivated at the minute - long may it continue. 4 days left of this round yet but given up trying to set a round end target - will carry on as I am and see what happens!

@noynoyavery & @Leroyoliver You both lost 1 pound in less than 7 days! That is awesome progress! No need to speed it up! Slow and steady wins every time.

Thank you! And I finally broke 160 this am! Something about that # was driving me crazy! Thank you for your support - means so much.

Goal: I just want to make it through 10 days. I haven't weighed myself yet because I don't want it to discourage me. I'll weigh myself when I drop from a 24 pant to a 22 pant (I can squeeze in now, but too lumpy)
So for now, I'll just post whether I've met my caloric goals for the day.

04/03 – 141.5 – I’m actually happy to see I’m up a little bit from yesterday. I’m trying to find the balance between eating more healthy foods and not losing weight. Never thought I’d see the day…
04/04 – 140.5 – OK
04/05 – 140.5 – Happy Friday!
04/06 – 140 – Gearing up for my next to last Saturday at the office. I hope everyone else has a good weekend!
04/07 - 141.5 - I took advantage of the catered lunch yesterday at the office, then I got home so late from work, we ended up ordering pizza for supper. I'm still fine with this weight though and will try to eat more healthy today.
04/08 – 140 – That came off faster than I expected.
04/09 – 141 – Fine with this!

04/03 94.1kg bit of a drop, caused by a lack of dinner as i was sat in a hairdresser's chair! So I ended up having a hot cross buns for dinner!
04/04 94.7 bounce up was expected! Yesterday was a complete write off. I'm really struggling with things in my life at the moment, and the fact that I can't change things to improve the situation I'm in… so of course I ate a whole pack of mini battenburgs and a pack of biscuits! Ithen intended to get up to go for a run, but forgot to set my alarm! Had thought about not weighing or posting but this is a “warts-n-all” journey, not the Pinterest ready version of my life!
04/05 dnw my graduation day! Not weighing in until monday as I just want to enjoy my moment! It has taken me 16 years to get this far (always taking the long route!) it's still not the end of my journey as I do still have plans for a PhD but I'm taking a bit of time out to find out what direction to take next!
04/06 dnw well yesterday was eventful! The president of Ireland was at our graduation, so my kids bumped into him while running out of the room telling daddy “I need a poooooo”! Then, while Stephen Rae was giving his acceptance speech for his honorary doctorate my kids decided to join him on stage! My 3 yr old went for a run while my 4 yr old tried to catch him and kept telling the people on stage “sorry, I'm just getting him back to daddy”! So I get the task of going up to the stage to pick them up! Then daddy removed them with a chorus of “love you mummy” from both boys! Absolutely hilarious! Can't wait to gatecrash their graduations!
04/07 dnw last day off! Kinda worried how bad this will be… pizza, chocolate, prosecco, strawberries and cream, Danish pastries… Mentally getting myself ready to attack next week!
04/08 95.5 ok… not actually as bad as I thought! No run this morning as both boys are sick again so I was up with 3yr old until 2am. Might go for a walk when husband comes in from work! Goals are now changed, I just want to get through the next 5 days sticking to my food plan!

04/09 - 155.6 - Expected this. Dinner was a little salty (new recipe a friend made for us), a beer (fit into goals but still), and I've got some serious soreness. I worked out for the first time this year and boy do I feel it today. But I'm okay with these little blips knowing exactly why its happening. And NSV: I woke up admiring my body this morning. Its not where I want it, but I don't feel so bloated which is a wonderful feeling I've forgotten. Makes me appreciate my body more instead of waking up feeling like a whale. I GET MY "NEW" FITBIT TODAY. I'm so excited. I took ya'll's advice and found one I can use that won't break the bank. And this one is the HR which I definitely couldn't afford. So excited to track my steps at work again which will help with my calorie goals (I'm guessing my walking based on past averages and my workouts based on several averaged numbers so that I can adjust water and food intake)

Second round! I'm keeping my same goals of tracking at least 10,000 steps a day on my Fitbit, going to the gym or working out at home when I have it scheduled on my calendar, and averaging a little under my calorie goals to fit in unexpected treats and/or beers. I'm aiming for a 2 lb. loss again as well.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/03 187.2 lb Big drop mostly fueled by a busy schedule and little appetite. I missed going to the gym in favor of taking the dog for a longer walk and giving myself a little bit of down time before rehearsal. 11,906 steps were tracked and I'm drinking TONS of water and tea. We're getting take-out for dinner, so I won't be surprised to maintain this weight or see a gain tomorrow morning.
04/04 187.2 lb 12,636 steps were tracked and I came to the conclusion that taking time to change into my walking shoes from my work shoes makes a BIG difference on how far I'm willing to walk my dog. Calories were pretty good, but I needed to guess how many calories were in our dinner, so I'm sure it's off in terms of calories and sodium. The cluttered schedule continues with rehearsals for a different ensemble until 6:00pm and then I need to catch up on some bookkeeping and payroll for the wind ensemble I play in.
04/05 185.4 lb Another drop, but I'm pretty sure it's from some stress I've been feeling at work. 16,174 steps were tracked and calories were way under. I have a workout scheduled on my calendar for this afternoon and then we have opening night for Chicago. The kids are going to be great!
04/06 186.2 lb No workout yesterday. I thought I needed a nap before yesterday's show and twenty minutes turned into two hours. 😂 I tracked 11,197 steps and kept within my calorie goals. We went out for breakfast this morning and I had an acai bowl, croissant, and coffee. I'm planning on cleaning the house and taking the dog for a nice long walk before tonight's show.
04/07 184.4 lb 11,749 steps were tracked and I met my calorie goals. Minor NSV: I turned down some chocolate chip cookies because I knew I was going to have a beer with dinner. More dog walking and cleaning planned for today and we have our final matinee this afternoon.
04/08 185.6 lb I could have definitely had more water yesterday. I meal prepped lunches for the week with rosemary chicken salads ready to go in the fridge. I tracked 11,203 steps and only went over my calories by less than 100 because I wanted some chocolate after dinner. Two small pieces and I was satisfied. I'm looking forward to a busy day with my last after school class on "differentiated instruction" and our last jazz band rehearsal until April vacation.
04/09 184.4 lb Just barely made my step goal with 10,601 steps. Calories looked good and I drank a bunch of water and tea. I'm planning on fitting in Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred today after work and before a budget meeting. After that, the dog gets her nails trimmed and gets a good walk. The boyfriend is providing dinner tonight, so I'm keeping lunch light and loading up on water and tea because he likes to get take-out. I'd like to see this weight show up again (or maybe see something a little lower!) tomorrow.
