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.

5/1--208.1 Feeling heavy today. Worked late yesterday and when I got home there was a lot of snacking, not because I was hungry but because I was tired...another snacking trigger that I have to be more aware of. Going for a run today and then yoga.
5/2--208.3 Ran 2 miles and then went to yoga. Yoga was great as we did most of the class up against the wall. It's amazing how much more of a stretch you can get by doing the stretch against the wall versus on the ground. Trainer tonight.

04/23 151.4 Easter damage control starts today. Hoping to get back to the lowest I had last round during this round. Should be manageable.
04/24 149.4 😀 drank a good amount of water and looks like Easter wasn’t as damaging as I’d thought.

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.

04/30-95.0 kg and 11,100 steps.
05/01-dkw and 15,400 steps. Really making an effort to walk walk walk.
05/02-94.5 kg and 19,600 steps. Ended well but not getting my hopes up again.

And it's a wrap! Total: ⬇️1.5kg

Round 71 -3.8 pounds 352.8-349
Round 72 -1.8 pounds 349-347.2
Round 73 -3.6 pounds 347.2-343.6
Round 74 -4.4 pounds 343.6-339.2

OSW 382
RSW 339.2

This round is going to be a little rough as tom should start somewhere during it. I’m hopeful of getting a bit more down before the weight bounce from it starts.

04/23 337.2 I’m surprised by this drop, especially since I was sure my sodium was high yesterday. But I guess it wasn’t as bad as I feared and I dropped water weight from the weekend. I’ll see what the next few days bring and not be surprised if I see a bounce up.

04/24. 338.2 Hey I’m getting good at predicting the bounces. To be fair this number seems closer to what I thought I should be, so I’m pretty happy with it.

04/25 338.2 I’m okay with this. Tom is creeping ever closer and last month my weight slowed and bounced around for several days before.

04/26 338.0 I’m surprised by a loss today, I usually have a gain after having Italian beef for dinner.

04/27 337.0 And the water weight I was holding on to goes bye bye. We’ll see what happens over the next few days as I’m expecting tom at any moment.

04/28 337.4 The water retention dance. It’s all good and I’ll be down again soon.

04/29 337.4 Tom showed up yesterday so I’m not surprised that I maintained. I’m sure I’ll see a few drops soon.

04/30 336.6 This puts three pounds under my goal for the month and perfectly on point for my goals. My nsv yesterday was not eating everything in sight and staying on track.

05/01 336.2 I’m happy to have a loss, I ended up ordering in pizza and didn’t log part of it. I also wasn’t great with water. I’ll see what the next few days bring.

05/02. 335.8 A nice end of round loss. I’m still trying to stay on track with my water. Tom this time has been rough I’ve been exhausted and doing anything has been a struggle. I’m feeling a little better today and hopefully my energy level will increase.

TRL- 3.4

33th Round for me: Female 66, height 5’
Back again! Had a great trip though came back last Thursday with a cold and absolutely exhausted. Stepped on the scale Friday and it said 157.8!! That was partly the result of eating very little when I was driving because my stomach was off but still a very encouraging number. Goals this round – stay in the 150’s and hopefully end with 157something, keep daily movement up.

I think the daily movement was what caused my loss while away. Meals were not low cal., although not too bad and almost no desserts, but was on my feet much, much more than at home. Lots of spring yard work to do so hoping that will do the trick.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 – 159.4 – Still a bit stuffy in the head and coughing but feeling better. Not healthy enough for a gym workout but planning to get out in the sunshine and clean off perennial beds. One of my favorite spring jobs – seeing all the new growth and thinking of what I can plant.
04/24 – 159.4 – Feel like dragging around / sleeping all day because of the end of this cold and trip tiredness. However, I know how that will end – eating all the wrong things and feeling down at the end of the day because I’m still looking at all the stuff that needs to be done. Instead I’m going outside in the sun and clear off perennial beds. Not a high activity job but still getting something done.
04/25 – 159.4
04/26 – 159.4 – I was looking for a picture of me to create a new profile pic last night and came across one taken from the side where I’m sitting at a table – oh my! way to show the apple shape

My mental image of myself is so way off. Good dose of reality so that I keep at it. You on this forum are proving that it can be done.
04/27 – 160 – Ice cream last night. Did also buy lots of fruit and veggies on my grocery shop so will focus on them today and hope this is just a blip.
04/28 – 159.8
04/29 – 159.6 – Not a great day calorie-wise but still under maintenance. Reminded that it’s worth it to log all those “bad” calories because while you may be over your goal, you may still be under maintenance. Logging keeps me from the “I’m over so I might as well eat junk” attitude that actually sinks me.
04/30
05/01
05/02 – 159.6 – Two days of having to get out of the house early (for me anyway) and there goes my posting. Thankful to have stayed in the 150’s. Still feeling draggy. Not sure if it is germs or what I’m eating. Too much fat seems to make me draggy the next day.

jenn990205 · May 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.

05/01 - 147.3 I can almost see 146.xxx, it's so close, but probably will not make it this round, which is ok. Today is my anniversary and the hubby and I are going out to dinner just the 2 of us. It is a surprise where he is taking me, so I will do my best once I am there. I will stick to 1 drink, fish or chicken and salad or vegetables as a side. If I am up a bit tomorrow then so be it. I have been really good this round and will try to stay on track tonight, but am not going to stress about it. It does kind of suck that it is the night before our final weigh-in, but oh well I guess.

05/02 - 148.8 I'm ending artificially high, but am ok with it. Had an amazing night out with my hubby. I ate salmon and vegetables and only a couple of bites of the cherry creme brulee. So I was doing great until I caved and had not 1, but 2 spicy bloody Mary's. They are my favorite drink and I have stayed away from them for months because I know the sodium in just 1 is pretty much the sodium I am allowed for the entire day. So having 2 put me way over for the day, water will now be my best friend today, lol. I met goal 1 of not seeing a 150 at all this time, but did not meet goal 2 of getting to 146. My 10 day average is done just under a pound and I saw a new low of 147.3 so I'm happy with this round.

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.
05/01 - 138.3 (-1.1lbs) that looks much better. Not really enjoying the ups and downs but it’s part of the process I guess. As long as the long term trajectory is downward.
05/02 - 139.2 (+.9lbs) not sure why I’m fluctuating so much but hopefully it starts to level off soon. It’s frustrating because I was below goal for the challenge several times just to end falling short. Its ok though. I’m sure it will come off in the next challenge as usual.

🌸 Round 75 🌸 SW : 199.9 🌸 GW : 197.9 🌸

4/23 - 200.0 - Made good choices yesterday, but didn't get all my water in. Suspecting this is my body still recovering from all the junk over the weekend; just have to keep making good choices and hopefully see a drop

4/24 - 199.8 - Still waiting for that drop! Had a little extra sodium yesterday, so more water today

4/25 - 197.9 - There's that drop I was looking for!

Now to keep the trend going!
4/26 - 197.2 - Nice way to end the week

Will try to keep it under control this weekend

4/27 - 199.2 - Eep! Pizza last night did me in, I may have eaten too much! More water and a little more control hopefully

4/28 - 198.4 - A little better

Had some much awaited for Chipotle yesterday, but stopped when I wasn't hungry anymore as opposed to still eating because it tasted good

Progress!
4/29 - 197.8 - Even though we had a heavy breakfast, stayed good the rest of the day and had a sensible dinner last night; paid off!

4/30 - 197.6 - Creeping, but at least still in a downward direction

5/1 - 197.7 - Not bad, maybe I'll get to see another drop tomorrow, but if not, I'm happy with the way this round has gone

5/2 - 197.6 - Not a drop like I was hoping for, but I did have a weak moment last night and ate Taco Bell for dinner… hopefully that doesn't impact next round too much. But happy to end the round where I am!

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:2500 estimated out:2125
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
Wed 05/01 70.7kg 🚶‍♀️12k🏃‍♀️C25k w2d1🍷📖in:2257 out:2377
Another busy day at work, headache from wine last night, very carb-y food with quite some guess work.

Whoop I made my weight goal. Other goals: exceeded on half and didn't make the other half, still ok I guess

ROUND 75
SW 173.7 EW 167.1
A loss of 6.6lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 173.7
04/24 172.6
30 min full body workout before work and then I taught my insanity and Turbo Kick fitness class. I was pooped!
04/25 170.9
I wasn't expecting such a drop but I will take it. This morning I did an upper body workout before work. It's going to be a long tiring day, so I need to work hard stick to my meal plan.
04/26 170.9
I woke up with my back aching to the point where I couldn't move. So, I didn't workout at all but made sure I followed my eating plan. I was feeling like I wanted to snack all day but I stayed strong which was good.
04/27 169.8
I was so tired in the evening so I took a nap and even worked out at 10pm when I woke up. I'm impressed at my own dedication lol
04/28 169.8
Sunday I was on point with my eating. I did not exercise
04/29168.8
I exercised 3 times today. In the a.m. before work I completed 22 min of strength/endurance exercises. On my lunch I did 22 min of cardio with my co worker and after work I went to the gym and did some leg exercises. I increased my carbs to help with my workouts.
After dinner I just wanted to snack but I went to sleep instead 🤣
04/30 167.9
I worked out before work at home and at lunch with my co-worker. I'm quite pleased with my progress and I need to keep it up. I got into a bag of beet chips. Wasn't expecting them to taste so good, had more than I should 🙈. I decided to drink my Asian tea to help move things out of my system.
05/01 166.2
A lot of bathroom time this morning because of the tea. Will have a better weigh in tomorrow and more accurate. I taught my class today, 30 min of HIIT and 30 min of Turbo kick. Thank goodness for pre workout and Good fat bars. The beet chips are now gone! Won't be buying those again. Perhaps when I've reached my goal.
05/02 167.1
Back to normal weigh-in which I'm still happy about. Plans for today....STAY WITHIN my carb limits. I exercised at lunch for 22 min of HIIT exercises.

Goals:
1) Walk 30+ minutes each day
2) Active gardening or household task 30+ minutes each day
3) 64-80 oz. water per day

10 days round 75
Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 – 202.8 – Gorgeous day! 60 minute walk on a moderately challenging trail, but gardening was limited to 10 minutes of deadheading daffodils before relaxing in the sun. Squeezed in some grocery shopping after the walk and got the dishes done. Not enough sleep last night, so my energy is flagging. Got my water in though. 😊

04/24 – 201.6 – Another beautiful day – blue skies, sunshine, and the lilacs are blooming! Too pretty to stay indoors, so I took the dog for a long walk in the park (75 min, paved trail). Enjoying the last of the daffodils while I deadhead like crazy. Perennials are coming in, but so are the weeds! Rain moves in Thursday evening, so I’ll double down on chores then. Extra water! Good day 😊

04/25 – 201.2 – Walking this morning (45 min before work). Trash goes down tonight, so I’d better get that fridge cleaned! (Got part of this done – threw out the stinky stuff. Then did recycling, composting, and some general straightening for another half hour.) Super salty dinner, so lots of extra water!

04/26 – 201.2 – A break in the rain this morning, so I managed to squeeze in a 65-minute walk and then lunch out with my daughter. The sky opened up 5 minutes after I walked back in the door! Squeezing in an hour of power-cleaning so I can concentrate on the neglected garden this weekend.

04/27 – 201.2 – No walk, but worked in the garden all afternoon pulling weeds, planting summer bulbs, and filling a few hanging baskets to attract the hummingbirds. Feels like I bruised my instep trying to dig out a new bed – should have worn sturdier shoes. Despite 10+ cups of water, I was thirsty all day. Way too much salt this weekend ☹

04/28 – 203 – And there’s that salt ☹ Half hour walk before heading out to a family event. Stayed away from the salty snacks, kept within my calorie allowance, and stuck with sparkling water and green tea. Four more days to go in this challenge – still time to turn this around.

04/29 – 201.6 – And there it goes – well, some of it, at least. Back to my weekday routines, cooking (and seasoning) my own meals. 8+ waters. Chilly 40-min walk in the park before dinner, enjoying the scent of lilacs and freshly mown grass. Busy week ahead and lots of rain in the forecast, so I’ll try to squeeze in the walks when I can. The garden looks pretty good, but my indoor chore list is growing!!!

04/30 – 200.4 – 30 min walk, 8 waters, laundry and recycling. Lots of papers to grade, so I’m keeping comments brief tonight.

05/01 – 199.8 – Woo hoo! Didn’t expect to be here at this point, but I’ll take it. Late breakfast out with my grandson who had the morning off from school. Put off the walk until after class but got rained out and decided to take today as a rest day and get to bed at a decent hour. I’m thinking I might add sleep as a goal in the next round.

05/02 – 198.8 – The sun came out in time for a 45 min walk with my grandson this morning. What a delight! Took a nap after class and then went out for ices with the kids. Suddenly summer doesn’t seem so far off.

Goals for this challenge:
1) Walk 30+ minutes each day (8/10)
2) Active gardening or household task 30+ minutes each day (ha ha - well, I did make progress in the garden)
3) 64-80 oz. water per day (10/10!)
R75(1) result: - 4 lbs
10 day average: 201.16

I really felt inspired by everyone's openness and commitment, and being part of this challenge group helped me push myself to get out and walk. Thanks all!

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!

LW: 153 (Oct 2016)

Tu 23/04: 164.2: Goals ✅ 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 The scale continues to drop!
We 24/04: 164.6: Goals ✅ Ah well, a wee bounce up is not unexpected.
Th 25/04: 164.6: Goals ✅ Holding steady is good!
Fr 26/04: 164.6: Goals ✅
Sa 27/04: 164.4: Goals ✅💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 Can’t be bad to that! 😂
Su 28/04: 164.0: Goals ✅Couldn't find yesterday's post.
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.
We 01/05: 164.8: Goals: move more than I did yesterday ✅ Knee is slowly recovering. And some of the swelling has gone.
Th 02/05: 164.2: Goals: Move more than I did yesterday ✅ Knee mobility is improving. I'm happy that most of the water weight has gone as the swelling has reduced.

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!
Tu 16/04: 165.4: Goals ✅ 😁 And a wee drop! Yay!
We 17/04: 164.6: Goals ✅ 😁 I'm liking this streak! Long may it contimue.

Fr 19/04: 164.0: Goals ✅ Oh My Goodness!!!
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!

Hi I’m Karen.
USW-187 Sept. 2018
UGW-135
Goal this round-160

4/25- 164-I’m starting a bit late. I fell off the wagon at Easter then left town and ate bad. I cam back to take a quilting class the rest of the week and walked yesterday morning before I left, but sat all day and didn’t want to stop for lunch, so I ate chips when I got home and made dinner. Last night I made a salad to take today. I will walk 7 miles this morning before I leave and will hopefully be back on track!
4/26-163-I’ve been getting my walks in before my class. I’ve also been taking my lunch. It sure takes a while to get back to the lower number after eating bad for a couple of days. Not worth it. It’s Friday!!!!!!!!!
4/27-162-I’ve been walking and making wise food choices. Long car ride today and eating out....we’ll see.
4/28-164-I’ll take that after the long day of driving and heavy food. Yesterday was DH birthday and we didn’t even cut into the cake...it is just sitting there waiting for us. Hopefully we’ll eat it early and I can drink lots of water and walk or ride the bike. Have a wonderful Sunday.🌸
4/29-Refused to weigh after poor choices.
4/30-164-Back on track.
5/1-163-I’m getting there. Need to get back to my evening walks in addition to my long morning ones, it really helps.
5/2-162- Our internet was bad yesterday, but I hung with life.
5/3-159-My lowest in years......Oh, my!!!

I’m glad you are all here!!!!😊☕️

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 75
