What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

7/2 125.5
7/3 124.5 I only ate about half of the small salad I made for lunch yesterday. Just not hungry. Made myself eat a Flying Dutchman for dinner. Next time I won’t add onion because Carl gives me most of his! Today doctor and stock car races!
7/4 124.5 Met daughter and 4 grandkids for lunch at Cici’s but I wasn’t hungry so had the steak salad I had made for lunch yesterday after doctor appointment. Ate a hot dog at the races last night- no bun. The doctor said my labs are excellent but we are changing my BP med.The races were great last night! Wonderful fireworks there. Today a BBQ at friends only a block away.
7/5 125.5 Flying to Tulsa
7/6 124.0 Yesterday ended up fasting for about 25 hours then daughter and I went to Mexican fast food and had a beef nacho salad. Only had 1.5L of water. Not sure what that will do to the scale tomorrow but it was the “last hurrah” as we are Keto shopping today and I will be cooking for the next several weeks as she recovers from surgery.

07/02 159.6 - 13,400 I’ve been waiting for this drop and so excited to be in 150s!!
07/03 159.8 - 15,300
07/04 160.8 - 13,100 Up from sodium and TOM coming. Will probably be up more tomorrow from all the carbs tonight and plan to eat at maintenance. The 4th has always been a big celebration for my family and my favorite holiday. I hope you all have a wonderful 4th!
07/05 162.4 - 13,700 calories were fine but between carbs and the worst pms ever, I have massive water retention.
07/06 163.8 - 10,900 terribly swollen today. My fingers hurt to bend and my face looks like I went out drinking all night. But on the plus side, all this water retention has filled in my wrinkles. Lol! Finally TOM has arrived this morning so hopefully just a few more days of this misery.

Hi. My name is Trina. I've been back on MFP for a year now, am down 65 pounds and just 4 pounds from my revised goal weight! A year ago, this seemed like a pipe dream. I've been doing this challenge since Round 54 and it has been a blessing in helping to keep me focused and positive through the daily ups and downs of this journey to better health! Thanks to all for the wonderful support!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/02 133 New low. This is actually the usual pattern. Down a little down a little more, than spike up before coming down...and then to a new low. It works...but it's a crazy ride! Strenghth class and zumba yesterday. Ate clean and healthy.
07/03 132 A new low! Definitely this one goes back 27 years. Not sure I've seen this number since I've been married! Stuck to low carb yesterday. Only a half of a real brownie my son made and then I made myself a pretty dang marginal brownie in a mug...which satisfied my craving to make a brownie in a mug, anyway and was at least filling. (P.S. I'm silently and in slow motion jumping up and down for joy....don't want the scale to hear me and backtrack!)

07/04 133 --Oooh. Definitely happy to still be seeing these numbers! 90 minute zumba party with 350 people this morning at the YMCA
07/05 133.5 -- Not bad after July 4th. Had a glass of wine and half of a piece of cheesecake, dinner was chicken and salad -- but the salad had lots of candied nuts and dried cherries). Ended dinner really full! Drank lots of water.
07/06 134.5 Yesterday was a good day. Strength class, step class, did some extra squats/step ups/planks and ate fine. Hopefully this is the uptick before the whoosh? Or just the scale in a bad mood! (I stepped on the scale after zeroing it this morning and must have shifted funny--because the first weight it gave me was 000.0. Yeah, right! Must have triggered the zeroing function when I stepped up!

UGW: 145 lbs (Maybe. Now that I'm under 150, I'd like to focus on muscle building and strength training, so I'll be flexible with that UGW. For now I want to make sure I'm comfortably below 150).

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!
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.

7/06 - 147.6 Nice! No workout yesterday, but my water and food at work on Friday were very good! At night I was tempted to give in to some splurges for dinner, but by the time we got the kid to bed, I had lost that impulse. So I warmed up leftovers from earlier in the week and was a little over my calories because of some snacking, but still at a deficit. Sometimes I just need to give myself some space to think about by food choices. If I had really wanted to eat off plan, I could have, but taking some time to think about if it I really wanted it or if I was just stressed/bored/unfocused helped!

Saturday morning workout classes are still so fun and so tough. I wore my HRM and it said I burned 700 cals in one hour! Still taking that with a grain of salt and not going to eat them all back, but it’s nice to see some numerical data supporting my hard work.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you. Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/02: WEIGHT: 244 Great day to see this post. So excited to do this because I am on a time crunch to lose 15lbs! GOAL: 15lbs in 3 weeks. If I don't meet this goal I will not be able to Skydive over the Gulf of Mexico this summer. I am motivated but worried the things I am doing isn't going to cut it. I hope this daily tracker helps!
07/03: WEIGHT: 242(started at 248)...So I stepped on the scale this AM and the scale had jumped 5lbs...I did start my monthly this morning(so IDK..). It prompted me to kick my workout into higher gear. I am happy with the end result today!
07/04: 240, I didn't do my daily exercise but I didn't eat anything but an egg for breakfast. I know thats not good for me but hey my weigh in was perfect!
07/05: 240 I ate more today. I was still in the negative for calorie intake vs calories burned. But no change...I guess I need to pump up the volume...lol...increase my workout.
07/06: WEIGHT: 238! YAY YAY YAY! so far so good....I know Im gonna plateau at some point but we will cross that bridge when we get there! My diet regime is close to KETO as I can get. Its hard to stay under 5% without limiting so many things in my kitchen...but I normally stay under 20g for sure!

Goal... Less than I started

07/02 67.7kg. Glad I checked yesterday 3 times. Saturday night has caught up with me. I'll work on getting it back down.
07/03 67.7kg and I feel like my control is slipping. I need to focus on the last 10kg. Ran this morning despite the cold getting worse.
07/04 67.1kg with a nasty cold. Fighting it with Tom yam soup but feeling rubbish!
07/05 68.0kg from nowhere! Hoping it's just the cold causing the gain as food has been good. Too rough to run today, I'm going to take it easy
07/06 67.3kg cold a bit better today so time to refocus on the weight loss.
07/07 67.4kg my first weekly gain since January. Only 0.4kg but now the cold is mostly gone I need to eat at calorie deficit. Starting today.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/02 - 166.5 Good day, cycled as planned, I'm feeling it in my legs! I'm behind on drinking my water though!
07/03 - 166.1 (-0.4) Gives me hope lol Yesterday was really good, but I was still doing my steps at 10pm lol one of the disadvantages of cycling to work is that I'm finding it harder to get my steps in!
07/04 - 166.1 (0.0) - Happy with a status quo, I had a pasta dish for dinner last night so I wasn't expecting any change even though I stayed within my calorie count. All my goals were covered for the day. Today is going to be hard as I'm going to the restaurant tonight. I don't often go (2-3 times year) because it's expensive here so I do tend to indulge on those rare occasions
07/05 - 166.2 (+0.1) - So considering I went to the restaurant yesterday evening I think it's not too bad. I was dreading weighing myself this morning! I've got another lunch date today but I'll try and stick to salads and avoid carbs today as I eat so much bread last night with the tapas yum !
07/06 - 161.7 (-4.5) This is weird, I don't normally loose so much but happy. However feeling a little light headed today.

07/07 - 164.9 (+3.2) I'm not really surprised, I ate all my sports calories yesterday as I was feeling totally drained the day before (tired and weak) I think I over did it during the week but now I'm feeling better. Going for a long walk today.

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.

7/02 - 114 - Day 6.
7/03 - 113 - Day 7. I haven’t seen this weight since Sept 2018
7/04 - 112 - Day 8.
7/05 - 112 - Day 9.
7/06 - 112 - Day 10. I’m transitioning to maintenance. I feel great & my stomach is so flat now. I’m very proud of myself that I stuck with it & reached my goal. I’ll see if I can figure out how to post some pics. Thanks everyone for your support. It helps having this group for accountability.
7/07 - 111 - I’m surprised to see another drop today since I upped my calories yesterday. I haven’t seen this weight since Aug 2018.

Average: 112.33
