Day/Weight/Comment
07/02 192.8 – 4th day at this weight. Time to focus and start moving down again! Walked for an hour this morning and got some gardening done despite the heat. Good food choices and good hydration today. I feel like I’m off to a good start 😊
07/03 192.2 – Nice to see a drop going into the long weekend. It was already steamy at 6 AM, so did some chores in the house instead of walking and spent the afternoon in the pool with the kids. My older grandson helped make dinner – lemon pepper salmon, one of his favorite dishes. Came in under my calorie limit even with a glass of wine and a scoop of gelato. Need to get in a little more water this evening to compensate for the alcohol.
07/04 190.8 – Happy 4th! Cooked up a big pot of ratatouille this morning and readied the yard for guests. Lots of fruits and veggies on the menu (along with the high-salt and high calorie offerings), so hopefully today’s BBQ won’t set me back too far.
07/05 191.8 – Not surprised to see a bounce today as an adjustment to what seemed like a false low. Yesterday was busy – no time to walk, but hosting kept me moving a good part of the day. It also kept me from snacking Overdid it a bit at dinner, but I still felt in control and managed a small calorie deficit and good hydration. I’ve got some clean-up to do this morning, and then maybe I’ll hit some of the holiday sales to look for a new swimsuit to replace a couple that are embarrassingly stretched out. Hoping to go for a firefly walk tonight if the weather cooperates.

@nikki062181 Here is to meeting my goal in this 10 days. I was 17lbs from my goal weight and have since gained 17 additional pounds. That puts me 34lbs over. I went from 232 to 142lbs. I cannot let this get away from me. I have worked hard to lose this weight, and I need to be responsible enough to keep it off. I'd like to at least lose those 17 lbs before I have to start teaching again on August 7th.

GOALS FOR THE WEEK!

First step: Continue to track calories
Second step: Continue to measure my portions
Third step: Continue to cut out carbonated beverages
Fourth step: Continue to cut out too many sweets
5th step: Push water!!!!
6th step: Take my B12 supplement daily at lunch because I have a deficiency
7th step: Walk 15 minutes a day at minimum and do arm exercises starting on Monday for this goal.
8th: 1 high carb, high calorie day each week

OSW: 232 lbs
CSW: 152.8 lbs
CGW: 150 - 151
UGW: 125 lbs

Here is to wishing we can all achieve our goal! 🙏

07/02 @ 9 a.m.: 152.6 I ate really well but did not drink enough. I did a lot of housework too.
07/03 @ 9 a.m.: 152.8 I ate really well, but started getting hungry late night. I snacked, which is something I normally do not do. It was healthy, but it was late. I am also struggling with my water intake right now. I did go swimming though.
07/04 @ 9: 153 I ate well and stayed within my calories. I drank about 40 oz of water, which is a lot more than I usually do, so I do not get why it is creeping up. 😡 Happy 4th! 🥳💥
07/05 @ 7: 153.2 Ugh. Another 2 oz again. Weighed 2 hours earlier than usual due to a company coming out to do home repairs. Ate unhealthy last night and ate late. It was a holiday, and a rough one at that. My best friend passed away July 3rd last year due to someone texting while driving.

Female. Age 44. 5’4”

Goal for this Round: Average below 114 lbs. I need to get bikini ready by 7/11 for my Iceland-European vacation. There’s the pain of discipline or there’s the pain of regret.

7/03 - 113 - Day 7. I haven’t seen this weight since Sept 2018
7/04 - 112 - Day 8.
7/05 - 112 - Day 9.

Average: 112.75

Round 81 (My 1st Round): SW 150.2, EW 149.6 (- 0.6 lb)

Round 82 Goals:
- Charge my HRM and wear it to a few kickboxing classes to get a better baseline for calories burned in my workouts.
- Stick to my planned meals for this week (shakes for breakfast, greek salad bowls for lunch, dinners with veggies, lean meats and not a ton of starchy carbs). Over the weekend, make another meal plan and prep for next week.
- Drink at least 3 tumblers of my water while at work each day.

Day/Weight/Comment:
7/02 - 148.4: A nice way to get Round 82 going! I hit my water goals yesterday, stuck to my food, and went to the gym for a nice sweaty boxing session. I'm finding it really beneficial to weigh the whole dish for a meal that isn't easy to portion out by volume/sight (last night's dinner was a "lightened" up chicken Parmesan casserole), and then just weighing my portion to confirm the serving size. I'm also finding that we do well when I have alternatives in place, instead of making two different dinners or expecting my husband and son to eat as light as I am. Last night, I wanted a little extra texture, so I ate my serving of chicken parm on top of 2 air-fried eggplant rounds, and the boys put theirs over gnocchi. I did eat back all of my tracked workout calories (which are probably a low-side estimate anyway) on some treats, which I don't normally do. But they sure did taste good!
7/03 - 147.8 Oh boy, this loss was hard won! Yesterday had all the makings of a day to throw in the towel and just say I'll start back up later. I was hungrier than usual in the afternoon at work (and had to work later), I thought I had the right ingredients in the fridge for dinner but I didn't, and my child was being extra cranky while I was trying to get dinner in the oven. So I scrapped the fussy recipe I had planned and went easy with baked fish and veggies, and I let myself go a little over calories for a couple of cookies. And now I'm so glad I did, because I'm just a bit away from the lowest weight I saw last round!

Woops, I didn't check in on here with the holiday yesterday, so here's two updates
7/04 - 147.4 **New Low!** And kind of surprising to see! Water was good, but no workout yesterday, and I didn't eat my planned lunch salad since I was able to get off of work early and do a birthday lunch for my mom. I actually made some good choices at lunch, but it was definitely heavier than I planned on! And then we ended up grabbing burgers and fries before some fireworks...I did make sure to bring a water bottle with so I could help to combat the sodium, and I didn't do any snacking when we got home.
7/05 - 148.0 Not bad after indulging for the 4th a little! I did a teeny tiny little workout before we left for the pool party (and now I'm setting a goal to figure out a good little half-hour, at-home/backyard circuit that I can do when I just want to get a quick sweat on and can't make it to the gym). The pool party was a mix of splurges and good choices. The good choices: I avoided the hot dogs, buns, potato salad, cupcakes, and beer. I brought my own water bottle to keep hydrated, I brought carrots to use a dipper in the hummus, and I played in the water a lot with my son. And even though nothing was a real meal, I felt bloated and full so I didn't force myself to eat dinner by the time we got home. The splurges: homemade frozen adult beverages, some key lime pie, and still went for plenty of tortilla chips with my salsa. I'm back at work today, and very excited that my mindset is naturally going to "Ok, back to normal with tracking" instead of "well, it's Friday, let's just wait to start up again Monday!"

Other thoughts - I didn't realize til last night/this morning that I had been feeling a little nervous about this week. Between my mom's birthday, the July 4th holiday, and being over 2 weeks into tracking every day (usually I don't end up tracking at least one day on the weekend, even if I'm still pretty good), I wasn't necessarily thinking I would screw up all of my progress, but I was worried about not having a plan. And now that it's over, even if I see a little bounce over the next few days, I'm ok! It wasn't anything to worry about, I survived and my healthier choices are becoming more and more ingrained the longer I'm on my journey.

Round 82 (my 14th)
OSW 382.0
RSW 316.0

My goals for this round are to stay on track with my activity, water, calories, and overall food plan. I have pre-planned the 4th of July to be nicely in calories and hopefully I’ll stick to that plan.

07/02 315.8

07/03 314.8 I’m not surprised by a pound loss, I wasn’t feeling well yesterday and had trouble finding food I wanted to eat. I finally felt like eating midday when I had a snack to hold me off until dinner where I had a favorite comfort meal that I haven’t made in awhile. I weighed it all out though and despite it being a favorite I stayed within my calorie goal. My nsv yesterday was not eating junk or overeating just because I wasn’t feeling well.

07/04 314.6 I’m so happy that I didn’t bounce up a little. I wasn’t great with water yesterday and I took a longer morning walk because the temperature was so much cooler. I also take a rest day on Wednesdays, which I didn’t take yesterday because of the nicer weather.

07/05 314.8 I’m okay with this. I was under calories, but higher on carbs than I’ve been recently. I also need to get better with my water. My nsv was staying on track yesterday.

7/02 - Did not weigh - 8am, too early. My last meal was 10:30pm last night. I need to tame my fasting and eating schedule, so that I can get a true weight early in the morning. 55g carbs, 51g net carbs. Carbs were: crackers, onions, peanut butter, spinach.

7/3 - 180.4 - Early weigh in. I am holding a lot of fluid, from carbs and not drinking enough water. Only 64 ozs daily for the past 2 weeks.

7/4 - 179.4 - 38g carbs, 35g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, crackers, spinach.

Goals for Round 82 (17th Round)
End weight for round 82 at or below 143.0
Drink 72 oz of water
Sleep 7+ hours every day
Add strength training 3 times a week.

07/02 143.8 starting the round the same as the end of the round, which is a better than last round. Going to a barre class today. I find them kind of boring, but muscles burn so I think it works and instructor is really good at adjusting.
07/03 143.7 took a barre class yesterday and really enjoyed it (still boring but feels great to stretch and I can do most of the moves) so will be adding that 3 times a week (more strength based than my usual workout)
07/04 143.7 my parents are leaving for a month on Friday on vacation so went to a very nice restaurant with them (prix fix) so did go over calories but it was a once in a lifetime type of experience so is worth a slight stall in weight. Today I’m going to a barre class and eating light before going to a buffet dinner with family with a fireworks watching area. Hope everyone has a great celebration today!!
07/05 143.7, apparently my body really likes this number! I’ll take it though since I did have a full burger with ketchup and mustard last night and a few different salad options. I also had two gin and sodas, so stayed within calorie range if added all exercise back in. Today, I’m going to try hot yoga for the first time. The same instructor who taught barre yesterday is subbing for that class and she was really good at modifications. I’m not as sore as I thought I would be after barre . With elliptical I usually never take a break, but will take one on Sunday since I’m worried with all of the muscle classes I might overdo it and be out for a longer than I want.

Mini Intro & Routine

Hi. I'm a 29yr 5' 4" female from Spokane, Wa. I've had too many cheat days lately, and need to get back on track & keep myself accountable.
My current motivation is fitting old clothes and being able to actually dress up this Halloween, but I'm hoping to be slim and fit by my wedding next year.

Doing low carb 18:6 IF. I go to the gym 2-3 times per week, and either walk or do yard work on my weekends.

OSW: 173
CSW: 162.5
CGW: 160
UGW: 113


Day/Weight/Comment
July 1 - 162.5
July 2 - 162.2 A good start to the month, I think. So much water, haha.
July 3 - 162 Not much, but a little bit lower. Doing yard work yesterday & today.
July 4 - 160.8 A satisfying drop! Had a red bull Italian Soda and even a little wine, and I'm still getting closer. Haven't been 160lbs since February of 2018!
July 5 - 163 Discouraging. Had dinner at a friend's house for the 4th, and now I gotta fix my mess from all the carbs and water retention. Ugh. Fasting until dinner tonight and drinking tons of water, and then I'll behave for the rest of the week.

I’m going to try to catch up on all the posts today before the new guests arrive. I hope everyone has a good weekend.
