JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 75

Back for another round! Last round I ended with a slight gain, but I had a 5 day vacation, Easter weekend, and a family death that all happened in that round. Lots of eating out, stress, and family to deal with. So I was pretty happy that I was only up a couple of pounds and that I was able to pretty much maintain through all of that. I usually don't set goals for myself during these rounds, I just try and do my best and see what I can accomplish, but I will be setting 2 this round. I want to see a 146 something and I do not want to see a 150 anything on the scale the entire time. Good luck everyone!


EW Rnd 73: 148.8 (10 day Avg 149.51)
EW Rnd 74: 151.9 up a couple pounds because of vacation and Easter (no 10 day avg/didn't weigh 5 days)


04/23 - 149.4 nice drop of water weight to start the round. Water and food were both good all day and I am already on track for today. Would love to see a new low this week, so working hard and trying to stay in a deficit most of the week. At least Mon-Fri.

04/24 - 148.1 Back to where I was before I left on vacation and my Easter weekend took over. This was my lowest weight hit in round 73, so hoping to beat that in the next couple of days. I am also really close to hitting my next milestone on my happy scale app. Water and food are set for today and on track so far!

04/25 - 148.1 same as yesterday so I will take it. I had a beer and 3 shots last night with dinner, but ate light all day. I don't have a problem stress eating as much as I do with stress drinking. This month has just been so stressful all the way around. Yesterday my Senior and Junior in high school found out 1 of their friends (17 years old) committed suicide. That was after we found out my middle schooler (my autistic child) got into a fight at school. He had been doing so well and making really great progress, it just really hit me as a step back. So while cooking and eating dinner my husband and I had a couple of drinks. I had been doing so good, but knowing we have to go to this funeral on Saturday for my husbands grandma and now all of this I needed a drink, lol! Back on the wagon today. Meals are prepped, water is next to me, and I will not have any alcohol tonight.

04/26 - 147.6 I hit another milestone on my happy scale app today! Finally moving in the right direction after stalling for so many weeks. The weekend is here though and that is my downfall, so hoping I can stay on track.

04/27 - 147.7 same as yesterday. We had my DH grandmas funeral today, so it was not a great day. Just got home and I am headed to bed. Only ate 1 real meal, and pretty much drank my lunch. I’m slamming a couple bottles of water before I go to sleep to wash some of the alcohol out of my system. We have to drive about hour and a half out of town tomorrow so that we can spread her ashes. So hopefully I can stay on track better. I don’t think I had many calories, but what I did have was not good calories. We will see I guess.

04/28 - 149.5 totally expected. Lots of alcohol, 2 very restless nights of sleep (today will be closure for everyone), and lots of Mexican food. Chili, cheese, tortillas, chips/salsa, sopapillas, and potatoes, amazing food, but a killer on the scale, lol. I’m just checking in real quick because we are about to leave. We are all meeting at another Mexican restaurant and then driving down to the river to spread her ashes. My goal today is to stay out of the 150’s and I am right on the line, no alcohol (I’m driving) and hopefully make some better food choices. I have not read any updates since Friday, so I will have to catch up on Monday when I get back to work. Hope everyone had great weekends!

04/29 - 149.5 Stayed under 150! I am back at work today and just trying to play catch up on here. You know you have had a couple of busy days, when your happy to be back at work to get some rest,lol. Yesterday we had such an amazing time. The place we went was so beautiful and peaceful that it wasn't sad or depressing at all. The kids were running around in the fields and playing, all of the adults were sitting around talking about old times and eating cheesecake (which I chose not to have a piece and that was hard). For the first time in weeks my hubby and I slept like a babies. It was exactly what we needed to be at peace with this whole situation. I did ok food wise yesterday, pretty much only had 1 real meal and then snacked after we got home, and did not have a drop of alcohol. 3 more days and hoping to end this round at a new low!

@musicsax How on earth do you find the time to do all that walking - I am so envious!! I love walking but just wish I had the time to do more of it

I'm lucky that I took early retirement almost 3 years ago; I walk everywhere as long as it's not raining (then the car comes out!!!). I'm also lucky that my DH also loves walking so at weekends we go out into the countryside and walk.

Thank you grandma Jackie

Ready for my round 12
Was on holiday for the last 2 rounds. In the past this would have meant a gain of 3kg or so. I didn't really try to lose (just did not want to gain) but managed to lose 1.9 kg over the 2 rounds.
OSW 88KG
RSW 73.7 kg (-14.3kg) or {-31.5 lbs}
Goal.... less than I started

04/23 73.6 kg a good start to the round and to going back to work. Started running again yesterday and did some pushups this morning.
04/24 74.5kg for no reason so I'm not worried as I always do this after a loss. Ran and tried some planks with the sunrise.
04/25 74.5kg and pushups done for the day
04/26 74.3kg 2k run and plank challenge day 5 which I will have to repeat tomorrow as it was a struggle!
04/27 73.0kg I think that is a woosh! But it is probably because I hardly ate yesterday and I feel dehydrated this morning. Day 5 of planks again and push up and squat challenges.
04/28 73.0kg hit my 15 kg {33lbs} loss target yesterday. Spent the weekend partying with my bestie who gets all their calories from alcohol and naturally does OMAD. I'm still on my extended dry January so drank a lot of water!
04/29 72.7kg with a quick run and D7 off plank challenge all done before sunrise. Ready for today! 😁
04/30 73.1kg! Usual blip up after a loss. Forgot I had a strength training class after work yesterday but I made it. Might do some social sport with colleagues after work today if I can. Did my pushups etc this morning

# 10 for me

04/24 378.6 (- 1.4)
04/25 378.8 (+ 0.2) Down about a pound. Got to get in bed on time tonight and tomorrow shoot for a blue dot day.
04/26 378.8 (0.0) maintain
04/27 376.6 (-2.2) had some very salty hot dogs today. I hope it does not show on scale tomorrow. If it does, I am ok. As long as I know why

04/23- 327.8- I have MCAS and woke up in a flair this morning, swollen and rashy, so I’m surprised the scale went down at all, but I’m glad it did.
04/24- 327.8- this is a frustrating moment. I was soooooo good about foods, sodium, getting my water and even walking. I know that it’s fine that the scale doesn’t move but it just feels bad.
04/25- 328.8- if this is some cosmic test, I’m not feeling it. I stayed in my calories, I got my water in. I’m so frustrated and I don’t understand why I’m stuck in this limbo.
04/26- 325.2- yesterday was a bad day, and I went over my calories and had pie so I was sure that today would be an up day on the scale, but no! I am really glad to see the number move back to doing better today!
04/27- 328.2- this is so frustrating. I was so good about my calories and sodium and water, so this is a real downer.
04/28- 329.4- doing what I’m supposed to and still having to watch all my progress disappear is making me wonder if it’s worth it.

Rozcolemanart, don't give up! You are doing what you are suppose to and it will eventually show on the scale! I know it is frustrating, but if it is really bothering you, take a day or two away from the scale and just concentrate on how your new way of eating and moving makes you feel. This is so much more important for all of us than just the number on the scale. Keep on keeping on and the scale will eventually catch up!

This is my second round. Easter threw me off round 74, but it was worth it.

UGW - we‘ll see...

Goal for this challenge -3lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

04/23 187.1 lbs gained back a bit over Easter, but that’s ok with me. Goal for today: stay within limit, get in a good walk and finally track water intake consistently!

04/24 185.7 lbs did pretty well tracking water intake yesterday but my long walk was boycotted by my toddler. Goal for today: not as much snacking as yesterday!

04/25 183.8 lbs Nice! Mostly water, but I’ll take it! 😃

04/26 183.5 lbs slow and steady!

04/27 183.4 lbs slooooooow and steady ;-)

04/28 184.0 lbs no surprise there. Had friends over last night and had pizza, so I’m ok with a little gain. Back on track today, the gain should be gone by Tuesday hopefully!

04/29 182.6 lbs I’m a little confused. I only did half well yesterday, so I’m wondering where this loss comes from, but I’ll take it anyway 😜

04/30 183.8 lbs - I don’t get it! I was doing so well yesterday, stayed within my calorie limit, had loads of veggies and water, not much sodium. What’s going on? Could this be hormonal?

R75 start weight - 144.2lb

No doubt when I get back home from our 4 days away and weigh in, my weight will be up but aiming to finish the round down on the end of last round - would love to see 142.5lb ......

04/23 - DNW - and we're home. 4 days of eating out, drinking in the evenings, hotel breakfasts, junk at cheer competition and service station stops - UUUGGGHHH! Why is quick "take-out" / on the road / mass event catering style food always so bad? A National Sporting event and it was all burgers, hot dogs, nachos, chips..... Glad to be home to get back on track and eat some colour again. Food for today planned and will get to the gym tonight for an hour. Just realised we only have 15 weeks till our main summer holiday so time for some serious action as equates to 10 JGM10 rounds left.... Off to unpack now and head to the supermarket for some decent food! Water is the aim of my day.....

04/24 - 146.3lb (+2.1lb) up from the weekend unsurprisingly - although knowing it would be up doesn't help when you actually see it Good food day planned for today, water bottle at my side and my target for the round is to end it lower than I started so need to lose at least 2.2lb over the next 8 days - totally do-able - just need to remain focused. Back to work but still feeling so tired from the weekend...
Nothing in the diary for those 8 days that means I can't remain focused so off we go!

04/25 - 144.7lb (-1.6lb) Pleased with that as it means most of the weekend excess and bloat has gone. Have planned and prepped today and will be at the gym for a PT session tonight. Had a late night last night as stayed up with my girls to watch the All Girls Junior Team England Cheerleaders win gold at the worlds in Orlando so need to try hard to resist temptations today (and will be another late one as the Seniors compete tonight!). Have a good one everyone

04/26 - 145.0lb (+0.3lb) STOP - Wrong way!! No problem with overall calorie intake but on the macros side yesterday was too carb heavy and I was way over on my carbs. Planned today a bit better so hope to see the scale drop tomorrow.......

04/27 - 143.6lb (-1.4lb)
04/28 - 142.5lb (1.1lb) - Happy days - had a lovely walk on Friday and did 12k steps and really been watching every morsel that passes my lips. Family roast dinner tonight but all within calories so even if the scales show a blip tomorrow I wont be worried and know it is carbs / water! Moving on down and feeling motivated! Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone

04/29 - 143.1lb (+0.6lb) as expected but not worried. Target for the round is 142.50 which I weighed in as yesterday so no reason I shouldn't get back there by the end of the round. Walk planned for tonight so will easily get my 10k steps in today, food all planned and prepped - ready to see the scale drop tomorrow

04/30 - 142.6lb (-0.5lb) Yay! 0.1lb to go to my round target and 2 weigh ins left. Did 14k steps yesterday as well so happy with that. Food planned and prepped for thed ay and gym tonight for an hour - so all good
