Hi. My name is Trina. I've been mostly in since round 54. I am now 6-8 pounds till goal weight, and hoping to get there in the next couple of months. Trying to keep focused on losing, while also looking ahead to maintenance. I've been feeling great, and feeling great exercising, and not feeling food restricted, so all of those things are good! Let's all have a wonderful 10 days of making great choices!!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 137.5 Walked 4 miles fast yesterday morning, followed by an hour strength class, then 5 mile walk with friends. Ate a bit of bread and a cupcake, but well within surplus exercise calories. Happy to see that eating a little bit of carbs is no longer totally throwing me. At the beginning of doing low carb, one cookie would bounce my weight up 2 pounds the next day!

04/14 137 I accepted a challenge by a friend to walk 20,000 steps yesterday. So I did 20 minutes of elliptical (it was raining), an hour of zumba, and then a 3.5 mile walk (as it had stopped raining). Made my 20,000 steps after a walk around the block at 8 pm.

Stats & Round goals
This round is going to be tough. Two weekends including Easter, when I'll be going back to London to pack up our house for the move while catching up with friends and a desperately needed date night with DH.
I'm reinstating some moderate goals, but left some out that I know I won't be managing this round.

R73 EW: 71.7kg
Sat 04/13 71.5kg - 🚶‍♀️13k🍷 2300+cals in, 650 fitbit adjust, 8-900over
Picking up new car, yay! Steps will probably be quite low today, 2hr train ride to car, meet SIL and a couple of friends for lunch, then 2.5hr drive back home, dinner out...

Sun 04/14 - 71.5kg 🚶‍♀️8k🍷 didn't log cals
I have a car! This is so exciting. It will negatively impact on my steps, but it also means I save 30mins each way to work, so I can start my morning runs again. And overall a new way of living 😊🚗
Yesterday wasn't too bad foodwise, a few road trip snacks (easter eggs) and ice cream after dinner. I estimated very generously, so cals might well have been lower.
Today, went for brunch, but very civilised, then Ikea before I dropped off my SIL at the airport. I didn't eat much, but had a few more Easter eggs - to finish them before the new week.

Mon 04/15 - boxing or run?
Tue 04/16
Wed 04/17
Thu 04/18
Fri 04/19 - trip to London, night out
Sat 04/20 - packing
Sun 04/21 -packing and date night //run?
Mon 04/22 - brunch with friends, back to Amsterdam

Daily Goals
Previous Round THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you. Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

***VACATION ROUND***Round 74 (my 4th)***
10 DAY GOALS: Planning to (1) log everything carefully over the next 10 days with maintenance range 1700 or fewer calories (2) 12-hour fast most days (3) Try to boost TDEE with small daily movements to achieve 2000 steps daily (I'm disabled and I often get less than 1000 per day)
Age: 38
Height: 5'7"
Round 71 SW 157.8 EW 155.4 (-2.4 lbs)
Round 72 SW 155.4 EW 153 (-2.4 lbs)
Round 73 SW 155.4 EW 153.6 (+0.6 lbs)
Total challenge lost after 3 rounds: 4.2 lbs
UGW: 123

GW for this round: *Maintenance of current wight* 153-155
To aid in my maintenance goal this week while enjoying my vacation (admittedly, a food-centered one in a special place I haven't been to for over a decade where I'll be headed to some of my all-time favorite restaurants, AND there will be a birthday party), I am experimenting with calorie 'banking'- purposely eating fewer calories for a few days in order to have more in the 'bank' for other days. Over the course of the week, it should even out to 1700 max a day, my maintenance calories.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 153.6 Same weight for days, and that's fine, since my goal this round is simple: maintain, don't gain! Walked a lot yesterday (for me), 4616 steps, and met my calories perfectly.
04/14 152 Maddeningly, the scale kept fluctuating between 151.7 and 152, but I'm thrilled it's lower! I've been IFing for a while (16:8) and yesterday, I was starving in the morning, which is atypical. After having the usual coffee and water, the hunger wasn't subsiding one bit, so I opened my eating window early and didn't feel guilty at all, nor did I go overboard- trying out this intuitive eating thing in baby steps over the course of this long journey.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 153.5, had sushi (lent) and a lot of soy sauce, no idea how much salt was in that until I saw this number since is higher than I was all last week. I love weighing every day since I’m not freaked out by this number and know it will be gone soon
04/14 152.6, happy to see a lot of the salt is gone. Hopefully will resist temptation at dinner time tonight to end the weekend lighter than I started
