06/17: 143.0 First weigh in after 6 days of vacation. Really pleased to see weight drop from the end of round 79, even though we were eating out everyday for all meals and exercise limited to walking on beach and in town! Felt comfortable wearing a bathing suit for the first time in a couple of years. Tried to make healthy meal choices (lots of salads and fresh seafood), but did enjoy the fresh linguine with shrimp scampi with a bread stick as a cheat day the other night! Also I had entered in a MFP 5-week prediction for Monday, which predicted 146, and I am 3 pounds below that goal! (not sure how they make the prediction, but more conservative than Pacer's predictions, so will enjoy the mini-success!). Back to the gym this morning to expend the saved up energy form last week - step aerobics and weight machines for legs; stayed on for the spin class so lots of cardio today!
06/18: 142.5 Wonderful to see a half pound drop! Since tracking I often find that I actually gain after doing a heavy leg workout, plus we had a duck bolognese sauce with penne and smoked mozzarella for dinner with wine so was afraid that I might have more water retention today. (Calories were all within limits, but actually lower on protein for the day). I had decreased the weights on the leg press since I had been out for a week and also wanted to try to tweak the settings to see if changing the angles would help lead to a better position as I do want to avoid putting to much stress on my knees. Felt fine this morning, so think the lower weight likely helped with avoiding the water retention gain! Today was upper body weights, a latin dance class that is just not working for getting my heart rate up, so may need to explore another option, and then yoga which helped with stretching after the weights. Still need to get some ab work in as I have skipped that the last several days... Salmon poke bowl for lunch (guesstimating calories) and probably will cook out veggie burgers on the Green Egg (Beyond Meat) for dinner with a salad. Slowly coming to grips with fact that I can have pasta and bread and successfully lose weight - loving it!
06/19: 142.9 slight bump up. total calories right at limit, but went over on fat and under on carbs/protein (about split). Was craving salt and finished the last bit of tortilla trips from our trip, but at least they are no longer around to tempt me so will be good the rest of the week! Expect the bump will even out, but not sure I'll make the 10 day goal of losing 2 pounds. Today was a cardio class, weight machines for legs, and then spin class so felt like I had a pretty good work out! My pet peeve at the gym - a man spent the entire time chatting to a friend, while I worked through 4 sets of 12 reps on 4 machines with rests between sets - finally I asked him if I could use the machine to finish my workout as there was only one machine of that type. His reply was "well if no one asks ..." - like it is OK to just park there and gab away! (sorry just had to rant!)

UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's.
Goal for round 80 - stay in the 130's. This round will be very challenging as my birthday falls in this one. Have two birthday outings planned this weekend, plus Father's Day and my actual birthday next Wednesday. Back in March I set a goal for 138 by my birthday. But that's pretty aggressive based on where I am today, so my goal will be to stay in the 130's this challenge. (I'm quite proud of my 10.5 lb loss in under 3 months so I'm not disappointed if I don't hit 138 by next Wednesday
)
6/12 - 139.3. Nice to start with a drop. Wins yesterday: HIIT/tabata class, lots of water, 4.5 mile walk. The anxiety eating hit midday thanks to homework/final exam prep with my daughter, she's stressed so mom is stressed. Got that under control after a bit and a long walk while she had practice helped with a mind reset, and had a very light dinner to offset. Really need to focus on stress/anxiety management so I don't keep turning to food.
6/13 - 140.7. Up 1.4 lbs in a day?? I'm sad and stressed. Wins yesterday: bodycombat class, hydrated well, stayed in a deficit. Didn't get to walk because of rain. I wasn't the best with food but not as bad as I've been in recent days. Maybe it caught up to me? Maybe too much sodium? Maybe stress showing up? I don't know but I feel defeated after a couple of good days. I know it's normal to bounce around but it still stinks. Will work on drinking tons of water today in hopes that helps the sodium (if that's part of the issue).
6/14 139.3. And 1.4 gone in a day? So weird. But I’ll take it. Wins yesterday: RPM class and 3 mile walk. Hydrated well. Stayed within a deficit. Going out for a late dinner and drinks tonight so will do my best today to prep for that and hopefully not do too much damage on the scale tomorrow.
6/15 -140.9 whoa. Went out for an early birthday celebration. Ate dinner at 9pm and it was salty (Mexican food), and had a few cocktails. I don’t indulge like that often and now I see why! Yikes.
6/16 - 139.6. Coming back down. Wins yesterday: HIIT class, stayed under calorie goal. Drank a lot of water, trying to offset the dehydration from the day before. Not sure how much I’ll lose this round, we will see. Tired of this bouncing around and need to stop indulging so much!
6/17 - 140.2. Sigh. It seems I have a pattern of a day with 13x, a day with 14x. Wins yesterday: 3.5 mile run with my husband, and he pushes my pace so it was about 15 seconds per mile faster than I've been running lately. 2 mile walk. Food wasn't awful but not wonderful, spent the day at the pool with friends so it was a day of mostly snacking and not a full meal. Outside all day so didn't hydrate enough.
6/18 - 140.7. Sigh, again. I'm almost wondering if I need to take a "maintenance break" since I'm not really sticking to any plan this week. I've had a couple of birthday celebrations, plus I'm battling insomnia (it's a lovely perk of PMS for me) and some external stress. Maybe I give myself the mental break from tracking for a couple of days and pick this back up at the next challenge? I might think about that today. Wins yesterday: 4 mile run, 2 mile walk. Hydrated well. Food was OK, not my best day but not my worst. I did snack a little too much but I was in a small deficit based on activity.
6/19 - today is my birthday, so my gift to myself is a mental break. Did not weigh this morning, and am not tracking today. I'm still committed, just need a little break. I've mentioned in other challenges that in the past I've gotten caught in the restrict/binge cycle when I track and try to keep under a calorie goal, and I'm starting to feel those urges a bit. Not sure if I'll jump back in tomorrow or wait until 6/22 when the next challenge starts, but I'm still checking in. Happy Wednesday all!

OSW: 178 in July of 2018
Rnd 79 EW: 148.7
Goals for next 10 days:
1) to get between 7,500 and 10,000 steps everyday (extremely hard to do sitting at a desk for 8-9 hours a day)
2) do not want to see anything higher than 148.9 on the scale in this round
3) finally see a new low of 145.xxx (lowest weight so far was 3 weeks ago and it was 146.5)
06/12 - 147.7 down another pound from yesterday, but still a little high. TOM is still killing me and I am still bloated. Better than yesterday, but I still feel terrible. My motivation is just not where it needs to be to start this round, but I am trying to push through it and keep going. Hopefully by tomorrow I should be back to normal weight and done with the bloating, cramping, aching feeling. If I can just resist for another day or 2 not to eat fried stuff I will be doing good. That's all I have been craving the last 3 days is anything fried, lol. On track today so far with water/food and I have already done just over 3,000 steps. So hopefully I can get some more in this afternoon.
06/13 - 146.7 still working my way back down. Hopefully tomorrow I will see a new low and drop all the weight I have been holding onto for the last couple of weeks. I have looked back in my notes and noticed that I have 2 really good months of losing after my TOM hits and then I stall or lose very slowly anywhere from 4-8 weeks until it comes again. Because of the birth control that I am on I only have a period once every 3-4 months. It gets frustrating during that last part, but I am not willing to change my birth control or get off of it, so I will just have to live with it. When I had more to lose it wasn't so obvious or drastic. I already have 5 children ages 20 years old to 10 years old. So I will stay on my birth control and deal with the consequences. May take me a year to lose the last 10 pounds before I see 138, but I won't have a baby to deal with, lol!
06/14 - 146.1 Went out to dinner last night and took half of my plate home and did not touch the sopapillas. I never do that normally, so win, win! I did have 2 margaritas, but had a ton of water in between and after. It was a nice impromptu date night with the hubby! Hoping to see a 145.xxx on that scale tomorrow morning. My next milestone on my happy scale is 146.0, so close but not quite there yet, and my personal mini-goal is 145.5. Maybe I can hit both tomorrow! Happy with today though!
06/15 - 146.7 had a slight bump up, but had a piece of pizza and ate the top of another piece. Then I filled up on salad, so not a terrible night, but I could have been better. Going to a comedy show with the hubby tonight, so going to try and keep it to a minimum with my alcohol intake and keep my calories down during the day to save up for dinner tonight.
06/16 - 147.7 up a bit, but I’m ok with that. Had a couple of drinks and dinner out last night before the comedy show. We had a blast and it was a great start to my hubbys fathers day weekend!
06/17 - 148.6 Didn't do great this weekend, but was not terrible either. We ate sandwiches Saturday and Sunday and pizza Friday night, so my carbs were definitely higher than normal. Had a nice bbq yesterday though and just relaxed and watched movies most of the afternoon. Back at work today and ready to start another week. 4 days left and hoping to finally hit 145.xxx this week!
06/18 - 147.3 there goes the carbs from the weekend and our bbq on Sunday. I love steak, but it seems to stick with me for a day or so. Finally reached my step goal and actually passed it yesterday. I completed 12,000 steps and my water/food were good. Should be back to 146.xx tomorrow and 3 days left to see that 145! I am trying to make sure I walk 1000 steps every hour no matter what. Today I have 3 meetings, so it may get a little tricky. I am walking into a meeting now and am about 300 steps ahead, we will see what happens the rest of the day.
06/19 - 146.1 back down to last Friday's weigh-in. Did 11,500 steps yesterday and on track for today so far. Trend weight is down and this should be my lowest 10 day average so far. Just need to sty focused 2 more days and meet my goal this round. 2/10 of a pound away from my goal this round!

Rejoining . I need some serious accountability.
I’ve been having a lot of back pain lately, I have recurrent herniated discs and I hurt my back about three weeks ago lifting a patient and my back just has. It had time to heal. Another reason to be accountable to myself to get the extra weight off.

Day - Weight - Comment
06/12 - 135.8 (-1.8lbs) - starting to get back down to normal. I think I was dealing with bloat from dietary changes but I have changed it back and will slowly add more fiber if needed. As for workouts I’m feeling sore. Yesterday and the day before were both really good strength workouts so I’m feeling it now. Got in 15 glasses of water. Did 35min cardio at about 75% effort. Feeling good. Hopefully I can break through 135 this round. 💪🏻 Just goes to show how the scale can be so misleading. Staying the course sometimes is all that is needed.
06/13 - 137.6 (+1.8lbs) - expected a jump I ate a lot of salt last night and ate late. On top of that I’m sore and a bit bloated. Good workouts yesterday, 1hr strength and 35 cardio at 74% intensity. 17 glasses of water.
06/14 - 136.9 (-0.7lbs) - DOMS! Super sore today! Might even take a rest day 😓 maybe not will see. 14 glasses of water. 1hr strength and 40m cardio at 76% effort.
06/15 - 135.9 (-1lb) - still a bit bloated but less sore. 30min strength, 30min cardio. 15 glasses water.
06/16 - 136.8 (+0.9lbs) - still bloated but not sore. Did 1hr strength no cardio. 14 glasses water.
06/17 - 136.2 (-0.6lbs) - still bloated, ate late, not sore. 45min yoga. 50min cardio. 16 glasses water.
06/18 - 135.4 (-0.8lbs) - less bloated. Ate early. A little sore from yesterday’s workout. 30min yoga. 45min cardio. 19 glasses water.
06/19 - 135.1 (-0.3lbs) - finally no bloat. Ate a little late. A little sore. 1hr strength training, 35min cardio. 14 glasses water.

** ROUND 80 **
Round # 14 for me
Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 383.8
06/13 384.2 (+ 0.4) Will probably gain again tomorrow. Had rib tips for dinner this evening. Did ok the rest of the day. Got over 8700 steps. My goal is 7000.
06/14 381.8 (- 2.4) Nice surprise.
06/15 379.6 (- 2.2)
06/16 384.2 (+ 4.6) that number is definitely salt from 2 meals out yesterday. Not concerned about it. Will drink plenty of water and this will be down in a day or two. Unfortunately I have leftovers today which is why it may take 2 days or more. On weekends I don’t get in as much water as I do on weekends when I am at work. No way a 4 pound gain if any)).
06/17 NWI
06/18 386.0 (+1.8)
06/19 384.8 (-1.2) I guess I am not going to reach my goal weight this challenge. Maybe 379.8. We will see. I can't believe it is only 2 more days to go!! Wow!

My journey … ("I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!")In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbsMy highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. :flowerforyou: SW 373.4 - 1/3/19 GW 299 - 12/31/19 :flowerforyou:

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 139.8 I think I'll bounce back and forth for a bit between 139 and 140 away at the beginning of this round until I drop. The neat thing about doing these rounds is learning your body's patterns.
06/13 140.8 Ha, there it is! Hopefully, back down tomorrow.
06/14 137.6 Liking this! If I don't succumb to the Father's Day treats planned for this weekend (cinnamon rolls and other random junk my husband has requested), maybe I can make it stick.
06/15 137.6 So far, so good! I'm not expecting to drop any more pounds this round, but I'd be thrilled if I end in the 130s!
06/16 134.4 I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'm losing too quickly?! Over 5 lbs in 4 days.
06/17 135.8 Good, I feel like this is evening out. I want to drop real fat, not water, and I know it's impossible to lose pure fat so quickly. That said, I feel way smaller. I really need to take measurements at the end of this round. (CARB CYCLE 1)
06/18 135.6 This feels right to me. Yesterday's lower carb day didn't exactly work out (81 g net instead of 50, oops!), but I *needed* some extra chocolate at the end of the day, so whatevs. (MOVEMENT 1)
06/19 135 Hmmm, I keep forgetting my "plan" to have a few lower carb days and higher movement days- yesterday was 3200 steps (a ton for my super sedentary self) and 48 g net carbs, though. But why am I even doing this plateau-buster when I'm having a whoosh week (I made it up, so don't quote me on this so-called plateau-busting strategy)? Despite losing about 5 lbs in this round with a couple days left to go, I am really second-guessing everything because it feels so unpredictable. WHY DOES WEIGHT LOSS HAVE TO BE SUCH A MIND GAME?! (CARB CYCLE 2, MOVEMENT 2)

ROUND 80 (Round 22 for me)
5’4 ½” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
Goal: Maintain between 135 and 140 lb. and increase muscle, endurance, and jogging distance (while not damaging my knees).
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-70 = 44 lb.
I started and finished the last three rounds with a high weight of 135. I’ve grown accustomed to the keto WOE and, mostly, stick to that, but I add extra carbs when I’m under 135, which is almost daily. I’m in my third week of a strength training program. I already feel stronger. The loose skin may be irreversible, and, if so, I’ll try to be content with being strong and feeling good.
Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 134.8 I’m almost finished with the first 30 days of my strength training program (it’s taking me 32 days), and my strength and endurance are both improving. Thank you, Lord, for the ability to bounce back!
06/13 134.6 Today was a rest day from my strength training, so I rested—played cards with friends, then mowed the back yard. I mowed the front yard last night. The A/C was out for a couple of days, but my handy husband fixed it this afternoon! Hooray! Praise God, the last couple of days were unseasonably cool, so, with the windows open, our nights were comfortable. The weather is starting to heat up again, so my DH fixed the A/C just in time.
06/14 135.2
06/15 134.4 Yesterday, I had a good walk/jog with Thor, but I don’t remember much else about the day. I stayed busy until it was too late and I was too tired to post. Today was another busy day, and it’s after midnight, so officially tomorrow (?), but late nights are the norm at my house. I helped clean the community center this morning and, in the afternoon, my husband and I labeled brandy bottles for neighbors (an Austrian woman and her Texan husband) who opened a distillery near us. It was interesting and fun! We met some nice folks, had a couple of “motivation shots,” and we sampled a couple of products, but we drink sparingly. We bought two bottles, and we’ll wait for a special occasion with family or friends to bring them out.
06/16 133.4 I went to church this morning, but I haven’t been active today. I measured myself and was pleased with the inches that have come off from my strength training. I got in cardio and stretching workouts yesterday, and decided to wait until tomorrow to start the next phase of my strength training. Two days each week are “rest days” and I prefer they be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Starting on Monday will only give me Tuesday off, but I’ll manage. A long weekend trip next weekend will throw me off, but it won’t stop me. I’m determined to, again, be lean and fit.
06/17 133.4 I had a suspicious spot scraped off my leg today. I need to protect my legs a little better from the sun. I made oatmeal cookies for an event and for my husband, and I ate three. Cookies and popcorn are my weaknesses. This is the first time I’ve baked cookies since I started keto. Anyway, my weight may go up tomorrow, but it’s not likely to rise above my maintenance range. I’ll have to keep my hands out of the cookie jar and let my husband eat them.
06/18 133
06/19 132.2 I didn’t have time to log in yesterday, and I don’t know why I haven’t had a gain the last couple of days. We had a community event this morning, with sweets, and I had several, so I’m sure I’ll gain over the next couple of days. I have a little leeway, so no problem. I don’t know if I’ll have time to log tomorrow. I’m sticking with my promise to myself not to log here until I’ve logged my Bible study. Tomorrow, I have Bunco, then take the dog to the vet to board, take the kittens to stay with a friend, and pack for a long weekend away.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/06 - 199.4 - up due to grazing throughout the day. Only gentle exercise and could have done better with the water.
13/06 - 199.2 not a great day yesterday. Wrather was cold and wet so stayed in and nibbled all day. Hurt my foot also so cannot walk or run. Not a great start to the round.
14/06 - 200.4 - time to get my focus back
15/06 - 200.6 - not a great day foodwise and I cannot run or walk briskly.
16/06 - 200.6 at least I didn't gain anymore.
17/06 - 200.2 - a slight loss. I am back on it today. More control over my food an will hav e plenty of water. I cannot walk briskly nor can I run and that isn't going to change for a while so I will have to work around it.
18/06 - 201.4 - no idea why I gained. Exercise was ok considering injury, food was good and water was good. Onwards and downwards!
19/06 - 210.6 - don't know what is going on. Food and water were good. I walked a lot yesterday but my pace has slowed as I have injured my leg. Still would not have expected to gain. Anyway, I have 2 more days left in this round.
20/06 - 201.8 - hopefully a drop tomorrow. I seemed to have hit a brick wall. I need to find a way forward.

Aim to lose 4lbs this round
This is my 2nd round, found this a really great way to keep myself accountable and on track and I had a great loss the first round so lets keep it up. Good luck everyone, we can do this
06/12 – 214.4 (-0.4) Really pleased with this was over calories yesterday and didn’t make it to the gym. Gym tonight so hoping for a good drop tomorrow
06/13 – 214.2 (-0.6) Slow and steady at the moment, seem to have lost motivation at the moment, haven’t been to the gym since Monday but going to try and motivate myself to go tonight. Calories within goal
06/14 – 215.0 (+0.2) Oh dear, really need to get my head back in the game here. Yesterday was a bad day but going to put it behind me and try and get back on track
06/15 – 213.6 (-1.2) Not sure how this happened but I’ll take it
06/16 – 214.6 (-0.2)
06/17 – 216.4 (+1.8) TOM so hopefully just some bloating and the number will be back down after a couple of days, just hoping for any kind of loss by the end of this round now
06/18 – 217.6 (+3.2) Serious bloating going on at the moment, but going to keep going and hopefully it will go down soon
06/19 – 217 (+2.6) Going in the right direction now. 1 Day smoke free now to, I can do this. Going to the gym tonight, meals all planned out so lets see this number down by Friday’s final weigh in.
06/20 – 215.8 (+1.0) Still going down so I’m very happy with that. Fingers crossed could even make it to maintaining this round.

R80 Goal: Round 79 (my 2nd round) was much better than R78, working my way to a 4lb loss! The goal for this round is to keep up with the training and controlled eating. I have Tough Mudder this round too and I can't wait!
My overall aim for the whole month of June is to train consistently - with that should come the weight / inch loss.
Also... 10K steps a day and more water!
12/06 138.5lbs / 62.8kg (-1lb / 0.5kg) and 12,879 steps
Had a good day yesterday with exercise and food. Was especially chuffed to have enough calories to eat a WHOLE tub of low cal raspberry ripple ice cream last night (350 cals for the full tub) while watching my favourite TV show Today's plan is much of the same...walk to and from work with a Push session at lunchtime. Keeping up with the water intake too.
13/06 139.5lbs / 63.3kg (+1lb / 0.5kg) and 11,922 steps
Can't shift the feeling of disappointment when I see a gain, no matter how small. But my body feels like it has been hit by a train today after my Push session at the gym. At least I know where the gain came from. I have Functional HIIT tonight after work and have a good day ahead of me all round
14/06 138.75lbs / 62.9kg (-0.75lbs / 0.4kg) and 18,737 steps
Was expecting another gain because I'm still achy, plus I weighed in later than usual, but happy with this. The 45 min HIIT class last night was very cardio intensive so got a great workout 💪 Was meant to be leg day today but seeing as Tough Mudder is this weekend, I made an executive decision to miss it today. Will be getting my steps in as going to a farm with the little one today. Only challenge will be water intake so taking my own bottle to fill up as we toddle around.
15/06 141lbs / 64kg (+2.25lbs / 1.1kg) and 7,535 steps
Really not happy with this as was under my calorie goal yesterday. Didn't hit my step goal as there wasn't as much walking on the day trip as I would have liked. Also forgot my water bottle so I suppose this gain could be coz of poor water intake coupled with not going to the toilet 😔 Oh well, today I am going for a loooong walk despite the rain to get my steps in. Food today will be protein packed as I am doing Tough Mudder tomorrow, can't wait!
16/06 142.4lbs / 64.6kg (+1.5lbs / 0.6kg) and 7,850 steps
A well deserved gain after a chocolate binge last night. Was expecting more so might see it tomorrow 🤦♀️ anyway, Tough Mudder today 💪
17/06 146lbs / 66.2kg (+3.5lbs / 1.6kg) and 20,291 steps
>:( Really not happy with this but I guess it's catch up from the chocolate binge. However, I did burn over 1,100 calories doing Tough Mudder yesterday so WTH is this? I'm in such a bad mood but going to try and get over it and not dwell. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. I can stick to everything food and exercise then just go an blow it by bingeing on crap. Grrrr make myself so damn mad!
Super proud I got through TM yesterday, had so much fun and can't wait for the next one. Today's focus is water, water, water. Exercise planned for lunchtime is a push session, weights will be a bit lighter as a bit achy from TM but still be a good session.
18/06 142.25 lbs / 64.5kg (-3.75 lbs / 1.7kg) and 10,980 steps
Delighted to see this number coming down again, maybe I will at least get to my starting weight for this round. Took a half day from work yesterday so the only exercise I had was my steps, was very achy as the day went on so thought it best to take a rest day. Back to business today.
19/06 140 lbs / 63.5kg (-2.25 lbs / 1kg) and 15,336 steps
Woohoo! Chuffed as a wee budgie! Went back to the gym yesterday for HIIT which was quite tough but I got through it. A lot of running about between different buildings at work for meetings yesterday which all went toward the massive step count. Giving I have a desk job, this ain't too bad! Was well under my calorie goal yesterday so planning to use that extra deficit to have something extra at the weekend.
Upper body weight training today, not decided to Push or Pull but will be one of the two. I must be mad but I have 90% decided to do a 14 mile Spartan race in September so might need to ramp up the training a bit more!
20/06 140.5lbs / 63.7kg (+0.5lbs / 0.2kg) and 13,343 steps
This is OK as I haven't been to the toilet 💩 an extra coffee will do the trick
Was under calories again yesterday so building up a nice bank for having a treat this weekend. I've settled on a sugar ring doughnut on Saturday after my walk/run Double gym session today, Push at lunchtime followed by 45 min HIIT after work with the usual walk to and from work.

Lot going on this round - daughters 16th birthday, cheer competition in Brighton this weekend, Fathers Day and youngest away all next week on her school residential so my other daughter wants to have a shopping and lunch out day so going to have to be super-focused this round to stay on track to meet my holiday goal. A Friday finish to the round is good though!!
5 rounds to go and aiming to lose a further 6lbs....... So looking to finish this round at 138lb - an overall loss of 1.1lb....
R80 Start Weight - 139.1lb
06/12 - 138.7lb (-0.4lb) Happy with that to start with. Off work today as youngest has her district sports inter schools athletic competition to go and watch and its also my other Daughters 16th birthday today so need to avoid the cake and treats and choose sensibly when we go out for dinner tonight. Feeling focused .......
06/13 - 140.9lb (+2.2lb) Had lunch out yesterday (egg, chorizo and veggies on toast) and Nando's (no starter, chips or dessert) last night with a small glass or red wine last night for my daughters birthday. Other than water (probably not enough), tea and coffee, nothing else passed my lips all day and I was within calories for the day (as best as I could estimate my lunch at least).
So I know this 2.2lb isn't a gain as I would have to have overeaten by 7,000+ calories and I know it will be back off very quickly but just goes to show how much weight can fluctuate by day to day for no real reason just based on macros and I guess salt.
Not concerned - albeit still frustrated as back over that 140 again - but still sure I'll reach my round target.
Off to drink my water.....
06/14 - 139.6lb (-1.3lb) As expected but still a bit more to go to get back to Wednesdays weight so hopeful it will be gone by tomorrow. So much going on at the minute seem to be on the see-saw again - overall trend still seems to be down though which I guess is what counts. Normal day today so should all be good for tomorrows weigh in which will be early as heading off for a cheer competition so an early start, a long day, a late night and 5-6 hours in the car so wont be an easy day.........
06/15 - DNW
06/16 - DNW
06/17 - DNW but back to proper tracking today. Weekend was full of take-out / fast food at the cheer comp rounded off by a Fathers Day BBQ at my brothers yesterday evening who never does anything remotely healthy! Why is it so difficult to get anything half decent to eat at these events ? To top it off the only place that was open at the services on the way home at 11pm was McD's
But only a couple of days which although it may show up on the scales for a few days, really shouldn't make too much difference overall. A clear week ahead to stay focused (before heading away again at the weekend for another cheer competition....) Have a good week everyone
06/18 - 142.4lb (+2.8lb) Well my weekend definitely didn't warrant that!
But guess this is the downside of weighing daily.
I actually felt "light" this morning before I stepped on the scale so was shocked to see this. Still, onwards I go - my days food is planned, prepped and logged in MFP, water bottle is at my side, gym tonight and hope to see a decent "whoosh" over these last few days of the round.
Holiday getting ever closer but have signed up for a charity event running July to September to walk 1,000,000 steps - averages about 10,500 a day so definitely do-able and will also help with the final weight loss push towards my holiday. Will log my steps on her daily from 1st July
06/19 - 141.1lb (-1.3lb) Down some of it, hoping for a bit more whoosh though.... All was good yesterday and no reason today wont be the same (so long as I avoid snacking my way round the shops later when I go out with my daughter after work later to get the last few bits for her prom next week!)
06/20 - 139.0lb (-2.1lb) Guess that's the rest of the whoosh plus a bit so am down 0.1lb over the round as a whole so far with one last day to go so hopeful for my 138 finish this round albeit a bit of a seesaw round overall. All food prepped and planned for today, water bottle at the ready and gym tonight.
Hoping for a big finish .....
