04/18/19- 168.4 Glad to be down some. It’s the week before my TOM. I just computed my average weight so far for this round, and it’s 167.96, so I’m on target to make my goal, if not surpass it. Plus, Spring Break is now here!

04/17/19- 169 I drank a cup of water before I remembered to weigh this morning, so that number may be more like 168.8. Must be retaining water from the leg workout yesterday.

04/16/19- 167.6 I haven’t slept well the past 2 nights. I’m getting ready to cut my caffeine in half.

04/15/19- 166.8. I think this is my lowest weight yet. I ate a salad for lunch yesterday, and watched my sodium intake. When I hit 165.5, that will be 40 total pounds lost. Would love for that to happen on this round!

04/14/19- 168.4 It’s okay. Went to Outback for lunch, and ate my entire baked potato. It was well worth the uptick. I was back on track today.

04/13/19- 167.6 Wow! Good start for the round!

4th round for me.
R71 SW 161.0, EW 159.4 (-1.6)
R72 SW 159.4, EW 155.2 (-4.2)
R73 SW 155.2, EW 150.2 (-5.0)

R74 SW 150.2
R74 GW because I lost so much in R73 due to being sick and the reality of 2 weekends including Easter in this round my goal will be 149.5

Original start weight 180 (April 2018). Stopped trying in September (153.6) and back up to 161 (March 2019)
UGW 140 (end of July)

Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 151.2 not surprised as I ate whatever I wanted yesterday. Back on track today before good habits disappear.
04/14 150.6 food choices not great but portions in check so pretty good for the weekend.
04/15 150.6 pretty happy with that!
04/16 149.8 good food choices and portions yesterday. Hoping for a few days of very healthy eating and then not too much of a gain on the long weekend.
04/17 149.8 🙂

04/18 AWOL. I will start weighing in daily now. I am doing well on tracking so far, but I am HUNGRY! Even to the point of being nauseated. I eat all my calories to lose 1.5 lbs per week, and I eat my exercise calories. I try to make filling choices and snack in a health way.

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, 315 fitbit adjust
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 71.0kg 🚶‍♀️10k 🏃‍♀️2k 🧘🍷 1422 cals in, 447 fitbit adjust, 315 deficit
What a nice surprise this morning! Day was good food-wise, went for a brief lunch time walk and a 2k run - I really need to do some work to get back into running...
Tue 04/16 71.3kg no goals achieved, oops
Dinner with work, it was tapas style dinner but loads of different cuisines. I just estimated 1000cals for it.
I only did 3000 steps, this is my new reality, driving to and from work, plus no time for a lunch walk... Definitley don't want that to be the norm.

Wed 04/17 71.4kg 1713 cals in, 306 fitbit adjust, 178 over, 7k steps today
Weight is going the wrong direction, but not really surprising.
I favoured sleep over run or yoga again in the morning. I'm finding it really difficult to find an end to my day in the evening as they seem so short.
Food was acceptable, too much sugar, but not terrible. Ikea trip after work upped my steps, but still not made the 10k.

Thu 04/18 71.4kg cals over (wine and snacks), 7k steps
It's ok if I maintain this round. It's been a hectic week and the weekend will be no better. At work I needed chocolate and tonight I needed some wine! But at least I should get my steps in over Easter.

Fri 04/19 - trip to London, night out
Sat 04/20 - packing // no scale
Sun 04/21 -packing and date night //run? //No scale
Mon 04/22 - brunch with friends, back to Amsterdam // no scale

Average weight per week

Bridie giving this another go!

SW: 118.5kg
CW: 81.5kg
GW for this round: Under 80kg.
End GW: 70-72kg.

My weight has been all over the place this last week with my period. After having plataued on 80.6kg for 4 days prior to this, it shot up to 81.6kg over the past couple of days. Really want to focus hard these 10 days on a strong weight loss as my June trip is coming close and I've worked hard to get as close to my end goal weight as I can for it!

Day/Weight/Comment
04/13: 81.5kg.
04/14: 80.5kg. Yesterday was eating well, gardening and doing 15000 steps. I am feeling it today! Wondering if THIS is the bounce back to my pre-period rate or if my weight will move up again tommorrow.
04/15: 80.7kg. Not as much as a bounce up as could have been. Lots of gardening and walking. Now, back into the work week!
04/16: 80.3kg. Glad to be moving down but really getting tired of being stuck in the 80 point dots. Managed to do my 10000 steps even with a sudden double shift.
04/17: 80.2kg. Arg. and, yay. But arg. 10,000 steps, calories on point.
04/18: 80.0kg. Doing all the right things. Seeing the results. 70s still proving veeery hard to break. Tommorrow, maybe? Maybe...
04/19: 79.8kg. So shed a little tear over this this morning. Somehow, the weight loss only seems real now. This feels very much the homeward stretch from here on in. I won't get down into my goal weight range by my trip (June 1st) as I've aimed for since the beginning of this journey, however it's very much an 'aim for the moon as even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars' scenario. Three days to go this round, lets see if I can solidify in the 79 point dots.

Back for my “lucky #7” round!

SW (01/01/19): 235.0
Round 68 🔺 -1.8lbs (27.0 total)
Round 69 🔺 -3.2lbs (28.8 total)
Round 70 🔺 -3.4lbs (32.0 total)
Round 71 🔺 -2.8lbs (35.4 total)
Round 72 🔺 -1.2lbs (38.2 total)
Round 73 🔺 -2.2lbs (41.4 total)

04/12 - 194.6 This is happening more & more frequently, so I think it’s my “new normal”. Hit a new low, go up about a pound for several days, drop to the old low & beyond over the course of 2-3 days. Rinse, lather, repeat. 🤷🏻‍♀️

04/13 - 194.6 Waiting patiently for it to drop... 🚶🏻‍♀️

04/14 - 194.2 Tomorrow is the last day of one of the long-term challenges I’m in. I’d love to see a new low, or at least the one I caught a glimpse of last week! 🤞🏼

04/15 - 193.2 Wish granted! Net loss of 0.4 from last week. Excited to see if it continues to fall! 💫

04/16 - 193.2 Had a (large, delicious) impromptu dinner out with friends so I was expecting far worse! 🍲

04/17 - 191.6 Yay! ⭐️

04/18 - 191.4 Flickered on .2, but I’ll gladly take the continued drop regardless. I’m not picky 😉

04/19 - 190.6 Whoa! Will I get to see 180-something in April?? 😸

@ConfidentRaven - Congrats on 40 pounds lost!!! Whoooohooo!! Keep up the good work!! :flowerforyou:

Round three for me! We're in spring break at school and I have a lot on my calendar. We'll be celebrating my boyfriend's birthday, going to an MLB game, travelling to spend time with friends and their new baby, and gathering with family for Easter. This time, I'd like to average 100,000 steps for the ten days, so I'll need to add extra walking on days we're not driving. I'm not looking to actively lose weight this round, but I'd like to maintain my hard work from the last two rounds.

Female, 32 5'6''
OSW 191 lb
R72 SW 191.0 lb EW 188.4 lb
R73 SW 188.4 lb EW 184.6 lb
R74 SW 184.6 lb EW TBD
GW: 160 lb (I'll probably re-evaluate when I get there, but I remember being pretty comfortable at that weight)
Day/Weight/Comment
04/13 184.6 lb Holding steady! No workout yesterday due to a meeting that went long and unanticipated traffic on the way home. I had to get home to walk the pup! I tracked 11,415 steps. Take-out Thai food was dinner and I ate lightly throughout the day to not blow-out my calorie goals. I expect some sort of gain in the next couple of days due to planned events with high-calorie foods options.
04/14 184.6 lb Still looking good. I only tracked 5,150 steps yesterday so I'll need to take the dog out for a long walk later. We went out for lunch and it ended up being my only meal of the day and that allowed me to meet my calorie goals. Again, I'm anticipating a gain in the next couple of check-ins. We're heading to a baseball game this afternoon and I'm making a key lime pie for my boyfriend's birthday.
04/15 185.6 lb I ate so much junk yesterday. Bagel and cream cheese for breakfast, sausage and peppers and beer for lunch at the game (Go Red Sox!), and pizza, key lime pie, and GOT whiskey for dinner. Good thing birthdays only happen once a year. 😂 I wish I checked my Fitbit before I took it off because it had tracked 9,982 steps. There's something about seeing the number go over 10,000 that I really enjoy. I've got three days of light eating planned and then we're off travelling for a few days.
04/16 187.0 lb Not surprised. I tracked 10,015 steps yesterday and went a little over my calorie goals. I'm definitely going to the gym this afternoon and walking the dog this morning because we're planning on going out for dinner. We put a water filter on our kitchen tap because the water was very metallic tasting, so I'm sure my water intake will be up. I'm looking for no gain tomorrow!
04/17 187.0 lb No gain! I had tons of water, tracked 13,598 steps, and burned about 300 calories at the gym. I've tracked a little over 50,000 steps for the last five days, so I'm on track to meet my step goal. I ate lightly throughout the day to help out my dinner calories, but I got a Long Island iced tea that I regret. It was all sour mix and not worth the calories. 😖 More dog walking and another gym visit planned for this afternoon and then pub trivia with the family!
04/18 188.0 lb Yup. Beer and buffalo chicken sandwich for dinner. 15,315 steps tracked and about 40 minutes at the gym on the elliptical yesterday. Travelled 6 hours today and ate garbage food all day. I'm already looking forward to the next round to lose what I gained this round.

@tlsteddyo

I only record water, I do drink tea and add the 'bag' to my meal or snack, as a reminder of what I have consumed each day.
I do not drink coffee or pop (soda). If I did I would record them with the meal/snack.

I did take time to slowly increase my water intake. Sometimes it is a challenge to drink enough water. I started with a glass first thing in the morning and one at each meal. I also keep a water bottle with me at work. I slowly I creased my glass size to 14 oz each meal and 24 oz water bottle. For a change I add a slice of lemon or lime to my water.

Goal for this challenge -3lbs

‪04/13 187.6‬ lbs

‪04/14 186.3‬ lbs goal for today: walk at least an hour and track water

‪04/15 186.6‬ lbs had a bad day yesterday with cramps and back pain, so not much activity. Food-wise it was an ok weekend. Looking at Monday motivated!

‪04/16 186.1‬ lbs Yesterday was a very good day exercise wise and also food wise. Even had some calories left over for a piece of chocolate (and stayed under my carbs goal! Yay!). Let’s do this again today!

04/17 184.8 lbs What a nice drop! Hopefully I can keep it. Made a semi-smart choice at the restaurant yesterday (very satisfying Couscous-Vegetable Stir-fry, left me with little calories for the rest of the day, but I got through with vegetables and fruit), so I will have to work on that.

04/18 184.6 lbs - wow! After having two scoops of ice cream with my son yesterday afternoon I was sure I was going to see a gain today. But I guess staying within my calorie limit and only eating veggies for dinner serves its purpose! Goal for today: going to the gym and finally tracking my water intake!

04/19 184.2 lbs never thought I was going to see another loss today. Did a lot of guessing yesterday and was a tiny bit over my calorie limit, but I’ll take it! Also did achieve both goals yesterday. Today involves a lot of cleaning, baking and preparing food for the upcoming Easter celebration. We’ll see how I do with all this delicious food around.
