Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 - 270.0 - Up a bit, but had a ton of sodium yesterday. I had my water, but still the sodium was over by 1/2 a teaspoon. I walked a lot and completed Week 4, Day 2 of C25K. I did two episodes of Zombies, Run! I did not walk for an hour with either one as the timing wasn't right for it due to people either using the room or setting up to use the room. Food was okay.
04/24 - 268.6 - Still up, but TOM started yesterday morning. Sodium is still up too. I walked about 2 hours yesterday. Yesterday morning was rough, but got through it without emotional eating. My Fitbit crashed, and the replacement Fitbit was having errors, got it fixed with the help of a friend. So, today I am supposed to do Week 4, Day 2 of C25K, we'll see what happens as my CSS is coming at 10. More walking later in the day.
04/25 - 269.0 (Internet wasn't up and unable to post)
04/26 - 269.4 - Still creeping up even though period is starting to come to an end. I don't know what's going on. Exercise has been good. Food has been good. So I don't know if I am going to post a loss for this week or not. I did try a new food in Nutrition 101 yesterday, a jicama. We also had it in a salad that was pretty good. Today has been a productive day.
04/27 - 271.8 (unable to post)
04/28 - 268.4 - Back down a good deal, but not all the way. I don't know where things are going to end up. Today was my rest day. I have done very little moving today. I did do some cooking. There was an issue with a small fire in the building but the alarms didn't go off alerting us to the danger. Thankfully the fire department showed up anyways. It's late at night now so I won't type for long. I am stopping my C25K program until I can see my doctor. I think my electrolytes have gotten out of balance as my heart skips beats while I'm running but seems to be fine otherwise.
04/29 - 268.2 - Forgot to post, sorry
04/30 - 266.4 - Whoosh. I am slipping into depression. I mean when I can finally get that high from exercise, it feels great and I feel great, but when it's gone, I crash all over again. Dark thoughts circle through my head again. I thought I was passed all of this. I finally have a razor and had shaved my legs for the first time in 9 months. I can't think of a trigger. Just my brain has switched. I am still keeping up with self care best I can, it's just tougher now, is all. I'm not ready to give up yet.

Welcome to Round 75!
Late start round 74: Lost 1.8
Round 75 Goal - 2.2 down

04/23 - 203.8
04/24 - 203.6. Had a good day yesterday, calories, exercise both in check. Thought I would have a better scale response, but down is good.
04/25 - 203.2. Admin professionals day lunch, I ate pretty carefully, but it was high calorie - couldn't resist the chocolate dessert. Balanced OK with a low cal dinner and evening walk. Trying to plan my weekend a little more carefully - weekends are my "trigger".
04/26 - 202.9. Back down, total so far this round is down .9. I would love to be down 1.5 by Monday, because that is my weekly weigh in day. I know people say don't focus on a number, but right now my weight is so high that is all I can see. Maybe when I hit my 10% goal I will be able to focus on fitness goals, but right now, the number is important to me. I'm not sad or anything, just really want to lose weight the right way, so that I can sustain the healthy lifestyle. These are my meandering thoughts on a sunny and windy Friday afternoon.
04/27 - 202.9
04/28 - did not weigh
04/29 - 205.9. This is why I hate weighing daily. I had an OK weekend (not the best, not the worst). I did have a birthday party Saturday that included wine and dessert. But, how do I get above my starting weight 3 weeks ago? I feel like I am starving myself. I'm not, but I say "no thanks" so often. Sorry, just really frustrated right now.
04/30 - 205.0 back down, but dang. How this gain happened so quickly I really don't know. I was so angry that I almost gave up. But, I'm still here. Still angry and having a hard time focusing. But, still here.

jenn990205 · April 2019

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 - 147.6 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 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!

04/30 -148.2 and there goes the weekend gain. Went to my daughters last choir concert as a junior last night, it really does go by so quick. Stayed on track all day yesterday and finished strong with dinner. Meals are planned for today and may actually get to sit on the couch and catch up on some of our shows tonight, which would be amazing.

Day/Weight/Comment

4/23--211.4 So much bloating and feeling heavy from snacking the night before. Getting water in today. Worked out with trainer today.
4/24--210.0 There goes some of the bloat. Running tonight.
4/25--210.7 Ran 2 miles yesterday and worked out with trainer tonight. I've noticed that I'm more bloated/heavy the last few days and when I look back at my diet I see that I've been eating some of the foods that I'm sensitive to...it's just a little here and a little there, but I think it's adding up. So today I got back to my regular eating...I even went out for lunch and ordered a salad that fits into my food sensitivity issues.
4/26--210.0 Did not get enough sleep last night. Tonight is my last dance class with hubby, other than that I am going to relax and get to bed at a decent time...rest is so important in muscle recovery/weight loss
4/27--208.9 There goes the rest of the bloat after making sure I don't eat food that I'm sensitive to. Went to the nutritionist this morning and she was so excited with how my eating/weight loss/working out is going...it was nice to get the support. Today I'm going for a run and then hubby and I are going to go through a box of pictures we've had for over a year and figure out where we are going to put up all of the pictures.
4/28--208.5 Ran 4 miles yesterday, perfect weather. Working out with trainer today, I usually don't work out with him on Sundays but since I won't be able to make it on my regular day of Tuesday I will be working out today.
4/29--208.7 Lots of snacking yesterday...my hunger really amps up on days that I workout with my trainer. Running today.
4/30--208.5 Great NSV yesterday...my plan was to go out and run as soon as I got home from work, but it started to rain. I was disappointed, I can't believe I am now that person who is disappointed about not running. Well, I made dinner and hung out with hubby and at about 7:30 I looked outside and saw there was a break in the rain, so I told my husband I was going for the run. My husband was shocked I was still going because I am that person that if I stick around the house for a couple of hours after coming home from work I usually have no motivation to go and work out later on. Instead I took the dog and did my scheduled 3 mile run... I was so proud of myself.

*apologies if this is a repeat for 4/30, I have brain fog today so can't remember if I did this already!
10 DAY GOALS: Planning to (1) log everything carefully over the next 10 days 1250 or fewer calories with calorie cycling (2) 16-hour fast most days (3) Try to boost TDEE with small daily movements to achieve 3000 steps daily (I'm disabled and I often get less than 1000 per day) (4) Workout using Beachbody on Demand: 5 out of 10 days

SW this round (4/02): 153.6
04/23 ON VACATION, NO SCALE. Ate junk food, no exercise.
04/24 153.6 Thrilled to start here after a week of vacation! And glad to be back with you all for this daily accountability.
04/25 152.2 Okay, pleased to see this number! If I can stay on track this weekend, I should be able to meet my goal for this round.
04/26 151.4 Probably only because I was under calories yesterday. Just wasn't feeling great.
04/27 149.4 YOU GUYS, I hit the 140s!!! But it's the weekend. If I want it to stick, I have to pretend I'm on weekday eating. I need a weekend mantra. "Don't mess it up" isn't the catchiest phrase ever.
04/28 148.8 Maybe I'm going to get to keep my 14_ and not bump up to 15_? I've already beaten my GW for this round, and if this number sticks, I'll have lost 9 lbs in 5 rounds of this challenge and nearly 5 this round! I've never had a woosh loss before so I don't yet believe it's possible...
04/29 149.6 Still in the (upper) 140s. Whew!
04/30 147.8 Interesting. I started keto yesterday and I probably doubled my salt intake and did an aerobics session as well, so assumed I'd at least be retaining water today. Down 2 lbs overnight can only mean water loss, though?

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 - 140.3 (-.6lbs) nothing new been fluctuating here. Ready for some big losses. 😕 but on the bright side it is a loss.
04/24 - 141.1 (+.8lbs) extremely bloated today. Had stomach issues all night and just now barely feeling a little better but still bloated. Hopefully it clears up by tomorrow’s weigh in.
04/25 - 140.1 (-1lb) 😂 this is just funny at this point. I can’t seem to find 130s for the life of me. If there are any suggestions on how to get over a plateau please let me know. 😅
04/26 - 139 (-1.1lb) there it is, maybe the bloat finally went away and the actual weight it starting to show. I expected to be around this or a little less at this point but I’m happy to finally see it drop. 140.whatever was haunting me.
04/27 - 138.5 (-.5lbs) Nice little drop. I expect it will slow down a bit in the coming weeks but for now I’m happy to see the 140s getting further away. 😃 I have been doing yoga every day for 3.5 weeks and have added in a 30 min brisk walk at least 3x a week maybe more not sure yet. Slowing building up my workout routine. I was just thinking about my progress this month and realized I’m probably going to lose around 6lbs total. If I can do that for 2 more months I’ll be in the 120s and close to goal by summer!!! Very exciting.
04/28 - 138.9 (+.4) my muscles are sore all over the place from my last two days of workouts so I’m sure I’m retaining water. Just going to keep going and hope it falls off in a few days.
04/29 - 138.1 (-.8) less sore today, probably less water retention. Drank 12cups water yesterday. Hoping I get into 137s tomorrow. 😃
04/30 - 139.4 (+1.3lb) no way I gained all that back. I’m bloated again though so it’s likely that. I’m sure this will smooth out shortly. I have been doing more strength training so I’m sure there is water retention along with the bloat. Will see what the next few days bring.

Good day overall, work was good, prepped a few things for the cat's arrival on Thu, went for a run and feel much better than the last few weeks.
Wed 04/24 71.0kg(-0.6) 🚶‍♀️7k🧘🍷📖in:2181 out:2102
So my motivation from yesterday went out of the window this eve. I worked much longer than planned as I was at home and then felt annoyed and sorry for myself and snacked... Didn't make my steps as I felt very tired and then it started raining in the eve, so there was the excuse I needed 🤔
Anyway, new day tomorrow and i'm super excited about my cats finally coming!
Thu 04/25 71.2kg 🚶‍♀️6k🍷📖🥗in:1551 out:2134
The cats are here 😻😻😻
Stressful day at work with loads of meetings and little time to eat. I didn't go for a run because I was expecting the cats earlier. Instead, I started building one of the Ikea cupboards while waiting, they were about 2 hours late. Food was ok, but late dinner and a couple of snacks afterwards while watching the cats explore.
Fri 04/26 71.2kg 🚶‍♀️16k!🏃‍♀️C25K W1D2📖🥗in:2218 out:2755
What a day, I'm exhausted! I worked from home to be here when the movers arrive, they didn't show until 7.30pm!
Did have a productive day, despite stopping frequently for some cat cuddles. Went for a run after work and finished building that kitchen cupboard and unpacked a few things. More of that tomorrow.
Food was a mixed bag, within cals including wine, but also spent too much on snacks.
Sat 04/27 70.9kg 🚶‍♀️15k📖🥗in:2004 out:2684
Yay, this is great. I'm knackered, sore from moving, running, unpacking and building furniture. Went for a walk and then ordered Thai, but only ate less than
half. Did have wine and snacks in the eve, but within cals. Also still waiting for TOM, looks like quite a few of us are due the same time. Let's see if I drop further after that's done.
Sun 04/28 71.3kg 🚶‍♀️14k🏃‍♀️c25k w1d3🧘🍷📖🥗in:1804 out:2610
This week went better than expected, average weight is lower than last week's. Gain today is probably from my take away last night, which I finished tonight, so expect more gain tomorrow. Very active day, built a bed, tidied up, cleaned, went for a run, did some yoga and a little bit of work. The run was unplanned, I suddenly had a surge of energy in the eve and thought I better go. TOM arrived, so hopefully that will also lead to a drop before the end of the round.
Overall really successful weekend, so I had to revamp the Ikea instructions 😋
Mon 04/29 71.5 kg 🚶‍♀️8k🧘🍷📖in:1873 out:2153
I know it's the weekend uptick from late food and snacking. I was miserable during the day, but coming home to the kitties really lifted my mood. TOM is well and truly here, cramps and all.

Tue 04/30 71.1kg BBQ at neighbour's (instead of boxing, oops) 🚶8k🧘in: out:
Bbq turned into canneloni as the weather wasn't nice. Tom and stress plus the eve meant I over ate ans stopped logging... Ah well, new day tomorrow

04/23 got back into routine but decided on no weigh ins for a couple of days..Easter made me feel discouraged so not concentrating on the gain and being unaware of my weight I feel like will keep me on track.

04/24 still no weigh in but I am working hard to take off the holiday gain

04/25 138.6 dissapoined this weight isn't coming off more easily and struggling to retake off the holiday weight and get to holiday pre-weight....the struggle is real

04/26 137.6

04/27 137.2

04/28 no weigh in

04/29 no weigh in

04/30 I haven't been posting like I used too but I am planning for May to be a good month. April has been a wash but I am looking forward not backward....it's time to kick the final pounds....I am ready to re set my mind. So starting tomorrow I will be re weighing every day, no excuses!!

Hi everyone,

Here is my daily check in.

Gender: Female
Age: 55
Height: 5'2"

UGW: 130 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23
04/24
04/25
04/26
04/27 - Day 1 for me - 206.4
04/28 - 205.4 - So far so good. Looks like my cooking spree this weekend is going to be really helpful for getting me through the week for breakfast and lunch.
04/29 - 204.7 - Today was a bit of a struggle for me. I planned and cooked this past weekend knowing that I wouldn’t have time to prep AIP/Paleo breakfasts and lunches. What I failed to do was figure out dinners for the week. I find that I am getting home starving and have no idea what I can make that is fast, easy and AIP/Paleo compliant with what I have in the house. I have made a few small slips, but overall I have managed to get through the day. I will need to allocate time this coming weekend for meal planning, shopping and cooking with all 3 major meals in mind.

“Patience is also a form of action.” Auguste Rodin

04/23- 165.8 Although it’s a slight uptick from the past 2 days, I am happy with this. It’s my TOM, so I’ll be happy to hang around this weight for a few days. I’m watching my sodium.

04/24- 165.8 I’m good with that. I worked out hard at the gym today, so we’ll see what tomorrow brings. I hate it, but I’m eating some pizza tonight.

04/25- 165.8 Considering I ate pizza last night, I’m happy with this number.

04/26- 165 Heck yes! Was very happy to see this number on the scale this morning. I’m a little afraid of what tomorrow morning will bring, because I ate a heavy meal for dinner tonight.

04/27- 165.4 I’ll take that! Surprised that that it was as low as this. Felt bloated all day today.

04/28 164.2 Don’t know how that happened, but I’ll take it! So far in this round, my average weight over the past 6 days is 165.3.

04/29 166.2 It is what it is. Ate 2 slices of pizza for dinner last night, but stayed just under my calorie limit.

04/30 166.6 I worked out very hard yesterday and am VERY sore today, so my muscles may be retaining water. Was under my calorie goal yesterday, also.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/22 …..196.8 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

04/23 …..194.3 ….. Down in water weight I’m sure. It never ceases to tick me off that I can go up by 5 pounds overnight (obviously mainly water), but only go back down 2.5. Oh well, it is what it is. I will not be discouraged today. Yesterday was on plan. 1430 Calories In / 2476 Calories Out. 11 Net Carbs. 13,220 Total Steps & 5.6 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 6 minutes. I walked for about 11 minutes until being called away by work phone call but every little bit counts.

04/24 …..192.6 …..
Yesterday’s stats: 1163 Calories In / 2289 Calories Out. 27 Net Carbs mainly from my zoodle marinara & meatballs. 10,950 Total Steps & 4.63 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 38 minutes. I danced for 30 minutes. Sample song “Karma Chameleon” by Culture Club.

04/25 …..197.0 ….. My weight is so quickly inflated, as are my glucose readings. I try to stay mindful of this. Anyway, my sleep was 5 hours & 21 minutes. Home today & on plan. It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day. I love you carbs, but you don’t love me back, so we are going to have to part ways.

04/26 ….196.8. ….. A tiny blip down.

04/27 …..196.8 ….. Epic fail. I should have worked harder on drinking my water for the fluid retention. Meal plan was imperfect. Exercise was minimal (17 minutes on elliptical). However, I enjoyed watching my DGS who kept me on my toes! My son & other DGSs enjoyed the gaming night at the public library. It was an overall busy but nice day. Working hard today to get in those fluids & move more. Lots of housework today too.

04/28 ….. 197.0….. Dinner at 11:00 PM which is crazy. It was such a heavy work day! Otherwise, lots of steps & exercise/movement. Stayed mainly on plan, just ate too close to morning weigh in. There should be a better reflection tomorrow. Yesterdays Stats: 1663 Calories In / 2633 Calories Out. 31 Net Carbs. 17,091 Total Steps & 7.23 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 3 minutes. I did 107 minutes of yard work / raking which helped me burn over 500 extra calories for the day. Today will be busy.

04/29 ….. ….. I’m typing this on the 30th. How did I lose a day? I read all the posts yesterday & I posted on other challenges. Sheesh. Okay.

04/30 [colorO=red]…..196.8 ….. [/color=red] A good day yesterday, right on plan. 1338 Calories In / 2293 Calories Out. 12,268 Total Steps & 5.21 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 46 minutes. I walked very briskly for 14 minutes around my property as it was the only exercise I was going to fit in. Traveling tomorrow. I use all my tools but it is just never good.

05/01 ….. ….. Travel today. Why, oh, why before my final weigh in?
05/02 ….. …..

Round 74 Loss: 10.5 pounds (339.3>328.8)

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
04/29- 328.4- I didn’t meet my water goal for yesterday, I snacked after 8 pm, and I didn’t measure my dinner. And here I am, finally a tick downward. Let’s see if this trend can continue *fingers crossed*
04/30- 328.4- busy day, woke up late

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

Female, 37, 5‘11‘
SW 190lbs
GW 177lbs
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?

05/01 183.1 lbs - getting a little frustrated here. Only one day this challenge that I wasn’t in the deficit and I’ve been more than good the last two days, but not much change 😕 Hoping for a better result tomorrow morning for the end of the challenge! Also, I will try to focus on the fact that I will most probably have reached my challenge goal! 😃👍

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 75 (round 7 for me !) Lets go !!!

Female age 61 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!

Round 72 I saw my lowest weight since September last year, shame I just nudged up again on the last day

. Never mind, this is a new day and a new challenge, so lets rock it !! Over all I'm heading in the right direction, just need to keep going.
Jemtred – I'm going to use your goal to weigh less at the end of the round than the start, if you don't mind!

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
End of round 73 132.8
End of round 74 132

Day/Weight/Comment

04/23 132.8 - walked 7 miles before we travelled back from the Peak District in the afternoon.
04/24 131.4 – yay my lowest weight since early September, lets hope it sticks!! walked 9 ½ miles yesterday, hoping to hit my first 1000 miles walked this year by the end of today

04/25 132 – an hours yoga class plus 10.88 miles walked yesterday which means I hit my first 1000 miles of the year.

04/26 133.6 – Oh man!! Went over the top yesterday on calories, carbs & fats

. Babysat 13 month grandson, met up with daughter-in-law and baby granddaughter for lunch & had an enormous piece of carrot cake; why oh why did I not take half home for my DH? It's the old thing for me, if it's put in front of me I can't say no !!! And weather stopped us getting out for a walk

. Must have a textbook day today !!!

04/27 132.4 - Well I did have a very good day yesterday; walked just over 10 miles, ate back less than half of extra exercise calories earned, all macros in green ! 97 oz water.
04/28 132 – Not much movement yesterday, it was a family day, an hour and a half travelling each way and rain kept us indoors, but good quality time.
04/29 132 – just short of 11 miles walked yesterday and a good hour and a half in the garden generally tidying, planting, dead heading etc.
04/30 132 – almost 9 ½ miles walked yesterday
05/01 131 – Hurray, let it stick this time !! 9¾ miles walked yesterday. I've been fighting off a cold for the last few days, but last night it took over me with a vengence

, I dosed myself up and took to my bed early. This morning I got up and had what I can only describe as a terrible sweat when I was in the bathroom – my dressing gown was soaking wet. I just had to take a shower, I'm hoping that was the peak and that it'll subside now, but an easier day ahead for me today.

Goal: Last round was sad. I was eating what I would expect to be maitenence (since Easter and other events) with making sensible choices while eating out, and upping my exercise, to gain a whopping 2kg (I think. Didn't weigh the last two days). If this wasn't bloat from alcohol I will be very disappointed.

04/23-96.0 kg and 16,200 steps. This started well with dropping 1.3 kg compared to the bloat of last week. Lets hope it remains and I can finally see some progress!
04/24-96.9 kg and 6,500 steps.
04/27-96.7 kg and 14,500 steps.
04/28-95.8 kg and 19,570 steps. These fluctuations are a killer.

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
05/01 72.9 kg nice short run and D9 of plank challenge. Played netball yesterday for the 1st time in years which was surprisingly fun. My son's birthday today and a public holiday. I'll make him a cake but I won't be eating any!

04/27 - 204.8 - ate out again. Too much food. And no exercise again.
04/28 - 204.8 - ate out again. Way too much food. Went for a 6km run/walk.

I am in for another round, the last round towards the end I got sick and things got all crazy. I am starting the round off with being sick so hopefully can push forward here.
This is my goal from another group - May 1st – 195 – (group challenge – 25lbs). I am not feeling confident but will be pushing forward as much as my body will allow.

Round 68 SW: 225.8 – EW: 219.8 (↓6lbs)

Round 74 SW: 200.4 – EW: 200.2 (↓1.2)

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 – 200.2 this is ok, with still being sick. It is best to maintain then to keep going in an upward direction.

04/26 – 196.8

I'm fairly philosophical about my choices at Easter. I knew the consequences, so won't beat myself up about them, especially as the weight went as quickly as it came!

JGM10D ~|~ Round 75
Posting weight and comments each evening.
My aim for 2019 is to reach 155.
I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!

Mo 29/04: 163.8: Goals ✅Didn't believe this at first this morning, but, yep! There it was.
Tu 30/04: 165.8: Goals ✖️Woke up after a bad night. My knee is swollen and I can barely move with the pain. Not much appetite either. The weight gain is all the fluid round my knee joint. Once the knee is sorted it will go.

Previous Round

Round 73 ~|~ End Goal: < 166
Sa 13/04: no scale: Goals: Have fun! Away on a weekend break. ✅ Had Rather too
Much fun yesterday made much better food choices today 😂 Rocking the night away. Had a prawn starter as a main and drank mostly water. Dancing until the small hours 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
Su 14/04: no scale: Goals: Pack and drive home. Drive home was uneventful, but haven't eaten since lunch time. Tummy is upset, having an early night. Will weigh in the morning.
Mo 15/04: 165.8: Goals ✅ Amazed that my weekend away hasn't put the scale up by much! Happy days!

Sa 20/04: 164.2: Goals ✅ 🎈🎉🎈 73 today! I have had a brilliant day. Did lots of extra exercise so that I could indulge myself a little. I fully expect that weight may bounce up a little tomorrow, but hey! That's life.
Su 21/04: 165.2: Goals ✅ And there it is! Stayed under goal today, but a bit heavy on carbs so there might still be a wee bounce up tomorrow, because of water retention.
Mo 22/04: 164.6: Goals ✅ Well, that's a relief. Down over 1lb from the beginning of the 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.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

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 the day and gym tonight for an hour - so all good

05/01 - 142.1lb (-0.5lb) Excited!!!! Managed 8k steps plus an hour at the gym last night as well.
So pleased with progress this round - really feeling that I am "in the zone" - becoming a bit obsessed with planning and logging! Should easily hit my target tomorrow for the end of the round unless today goes really badly but everything planned and prepped so no reason to! Will try to get a walk in today of some sort but Wednesdays are so manic it is really hard to find the time. Actually looking forward to getting on the scale tomorrow morning - is that normal :

?

Here's to a good May for everyone!

05/02 -

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 75
