JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 82
Replies
-
@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.
07/06 @ 9 153 I ate well and went swimming today. I could work more on water still. I'm loving my breakfast smoothies. The pineapple and the blueberry one I've made so far are YUMMY! I ended up getting xrays yesterday. My son almost broke my nose. He was doing a backstroke in our pool, and he hit me on the bridge. My nose is messed up, but I'll survive.
07/07 @ 9 153 I spent the night at a drive in theater and has candy and popcorn. First time in a long time. I will regret this later.
07/08 @ 8 153.6 OH YEAH! This is why I hate treating myself. It runs all my hardwork, but at the same time, shouldn't we be able to allow ourselves something every once in awhile?
07/09 @ 8 153.8 😥
07/10 @ 8 153.6 I'm not going to make my goal at all this round.11 -
@cpanus You made me laugh with your accordion comment. What a sense of humor.
@jspecies11 Get to feeling better.
@171lake We are about the same height and both and semi close in age...lol...you're a motivation to me. I want to catch up with you.
@abowersgirl Kudos for you on your RESTART! I need to completely kick it in too with less eating out and more exercise. It is so hard when it is either raining or near 100 degrees.5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/2 – 158.4
More garden work yesterday - makes me happy to see it come together. Also makes me hungry! But I'm making good choices. I love summer!
7/3 – 158.2
I've moved almost the entire 5 sq yards of soil and I've started planting my new flower beds. I decided a few weeks ago to give myself a "creative sabbatical" to get my yard in shape -- I'm a writer, but intentionally not writing this summer -- and it's clearing my mind and strengthening my body and spirit. Sometimes we have to feed the inner self as well as the outer. I'm also trying to let go of specific weight goals for now -- I'm healthy, my clothes fit, and as long as I hold or lose a little, I'm fine with that. But you guys help keep me mindful and mostly on track (since most people don't want to hear about nutrition & weight all the time!). Thanks!
7/4 – 158.4
Have a safe holiday if you’re in the U.S.
7/5 – 159
I indulged a bit yesterday, and I know my sodium level was high. Back on track today.
7/6 – 160.4
Other than some peach crisp last night, I did well yesterday (and worked about 3 hours planting my new garden!). I assume this uptick is from the day before. Have a lovely weekend, all!
7/7 – 160.2
Right. Okay. I didn’t expect to gain weight doing all the heavy lifting I did over the past week. Oh, well. Garden looking promising! (Please indulge me re. the photos — I’m excited to have a garden again after moving around & renting for 10 years.)
7/8 – 159.4
OK then, headed back down finally. I've had my fun, back to healthy eating, walks, and gardening. I'm planning to go to a new-to-me park this afternoon for a longish walk - it's a gorgeous day here! And I have some lilies to plant, gifts from a friend. Wishing you all a glorious day!
7/9 - 159.2
Another beautiful day here, in the 80s and clear/partly cloudy. Perfect! Heading out for a walk, then some gardening, dinner with friends later. Life is good! Enjoy!
7/10 – 159.4
Ok, well, I was hoping to be down this round but maybe not. It’s ok. I’m working at not obsessing about my weight.
Off for a walk and then I’m building and painting a trellis for a new clematis. I love my garden.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/02- 228 Some walking
07/03- 227.6 Getting a summer cold, and fighting it off.
07/04- 226.8 Really hungry before bed so had a snack at 8:30 pm
07/05- 225.6 Bedtime snack last night was obviously needed.
07/06- 225 Really tired today from fighting a cold. Drank too much caffeine.
07/07- 224.5 Still very tired and coughing. Slept in until 10 and ate a late breakfast at 11:30 and calling it
brunch. Unplanned intermittent fasting.
07/08- 224.8 Retaining some water today. The joys of womanhood.
07/09- 224.4 Very inactive but trying to get my water in.
07/10- 223.2 Yay, no longer retaining water! Still recovering from cold. Made myself some Keto comfort food. Lemon pound cake (yum!) and bagels (for breakfast today when I break my fast)

7/2: 200.4
7/3: 199.8 (-0.6)
7/4: 199.2 (-0.6) drank more water yesterday, not tracking food very well yet
7/5: 199.2 (-0.0) holiday food and drink - thought I would gain some so pleased it stayed flat
7/6: 198.6 (+0.4) weekends are hard
7/7: 198.6 (-0.0) lol just realized I can’t to math as yesterday’s weigh in was -0.6 not +0.4! Today flat- had a good day but then neighbor brought over some left over wedding cake...
7/8: 200.4 (+1.8) Had a good day yesterday stayed below calories, went for a long walk, worked in the garden, only 40 oz of water.... Even turned down a late night glass of Rose that my husband had already poured me. I'm guessing the wedding cake caught up with me... not sure.. hoping some of it is water. Was really disappointed this morning but moving forward. I prepped meals for the whole week (breakfast and lunch at work).
7/9: 199.2 (-1.2) well how about that... had a good day yesterday, stayed on track, cravings hit hard at night but I stayed focused. Felt some fatigue/headache which I attribute to less carbs. Likely not making my goal for this round but not stressing it!
7/10: 198.4 (-0.8) 60 oz of water yesterday - getting there. Stayed within calories. Feeling good about the progress. The next 3 weeks my family visiting from Switzerland and both of them (brother and SIL) are on keto diet so hopefully that will be additional help i.e. not too much vacation splurging.

Ending weight round 80- ???, for mental health reasons stopped weighing at 6/19. Picking this back up on 6/22 hopefully refreshed and ready to work!
Ending weight round 81 - 139.3
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's.
Goal for round 82 - being realistic, hoping to finish where I start. Traveling for part of this round so I'm making attainable goals. I won't be able to weigh or track well while gone so I'm going to make smart choices while not denying myself (portion control, movement every day, lots of water), and then resume tracking when I return.
7/2 - 139.3. Holding steady. Wins yesterday: 4 mile run (so humid outside!), 2.5 mile walk. Hydrated well. Slept well. Went over my calorie goal for the day but I didn't go in to a surplus due to my activity level.
7/3 -139.1. Lowest weight since I started tracking in March! Just in time go on vacation and undo that work 🤣. (Kidding I’m going to do the things I said on my goals above and hopefully not go too far off the rails). Wins yesterday: HIIT class, 2.75 mile walk, hydrated well, stayed in a deficit, slept well.
7/4 - traveling no scale. Wins yesterday: short weight circuit and elliptical finisher. 2 mile walk. Productive at work before my long weekend. However, I did indulge too much at dinner once we got to the lake house. Staying aware and mindful during vacation is going to be hard.
7/5 - traveling no scale. How I did on my vacation plan: movement - 5 mile run, short walk, swimming in the lake. Portion control - not the best, it’s so hard when everyone around you is pushing food on you and they have dessert with lunch and dinner! Water - didn’t drink as much as I should have in this heat and humidity. Will work on hydration more today.
7/6 - traveling no scale. How I did on my vacation plan: movement - 3.2 mile walk, stand up paddleboarding, some swimming in the lake. Hydration - pretty well, could always be better. Portion control - ok except for desserts! Had way too much cake.
7/7 - traveling no scale. Vacation plan: movement - 3.1 mile run, 2 mile walk, some
swimming in the lake. Hydration - could have been better. Portion control - horrible. I had a binge. It sounds so silly that vacation causes stress and anxiety but it does when you’re in a house full of family for 4 days. And my daughter had an anxiety attack over something. So I fell apart. Back to real life today and will grocery shop, meal plan for the week, and work on the mental side to move past the binge.
7/8 - 142.2. WHOA. First day back and that's a shock. It shouldn't be as I binged this weekend. I really hope I didn't gain 3 lbs of actual weight in that short of time. I'm hoping some is bloat and I can drop at least part of this quickly now that I'm back home and in my normal routine. I did make it to a bodycombat class yesterday when I got home and did the grocery shopping for the week so my fridge and pantry are well stocked with better choices.
7/9 - 140.2. 2 lbs of bloat gone, this seems more like a reasonable vacation gain thankfully. Wins yesterday: 4 mile run, 3 mile walk, hydrated well, stayed in a deficit. Had a little ice cream but a normal portion so didn’t overdo it.
7/10 - 140.2. Wins yesterday: HIIT class and 2.5 mile walk. Hydrated well. Think I was even with my calories, not a deficit which is all on me but not a surplus either.

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.
07/06 314.6 I think I’m holding onto water before tom arrives. This happened last month and I held steady (outside my binge gain) until tom arrived. This time though I will not have a binge and will be patient. Hopefully tom won’t be ten days late this month.
07/07 314.8 I did my strength training yesterday and it went well, I pushed a little harder this time so I’m glad I’m not up.
07/08 313.4 I’m really happy with this loss and my overall progress. Last night I went out with my husband for a dog walk and we planned to turn around at the next street, about a 600 total step walk. A few minutes after we passed that point I realized that we had passed it and our walk ended up being about 1600 steps instead. I was amused that I just didn’t notice, it was really nice.
07/09 313.4 Now starts the tom wait. I’m hopeful that the hip pain I have today is an indication that it will arrive soon as they usually go hand in hand. Due to the heat here and the hip pain I’m going to focus on doing upper body strength training today. My nsv yesterday was hitting 9k steps.
07/10 313.4 Thankfully tom started this morning and I should start having regular drops again soon. I got in an okay amount of steps yesterday and my upper body workout. Today is a rest day both due to my hip and the extreme heat.

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.
7/7 124.0 Lots of walking yesterday at Sam’s and Walmart. Today - food prep, this afternoon we’re getting together with our oldest granddaughter for fun at Pinot’s Palette. Three generations
7/8 125.0 Errands and more food prep. Finally a (TMI) after weigh in.
7/9 124.5 Daughter has surgery so we got up at 4 to get to the hospital by 5:30. I’m in the waiting room.
7/10 123.0 Daughter’s surgery went well. She will come home tomorrow. After that long day with pretty much no food (I had taken an Atkins bar and a bottle of water) I came home and ate one small meal and a snack. About a 20 hour fast followed by a 5 hour eating window. I was asleep by 9:40.
Thank you all for well wishes!❤️14 -

I will be out of town for some of this challenge. Also, I just started taking medication for underactive thyroid.
I'm hopeful that my hormone levels will become regulated in the near future and this will be a little easier.
I'm going to try not to gain over the 4th of July holiday. This challenge has really helped me to get back on track when
I do gain on vacation.

Last full round before my almost 3 week cruise/land vacation, so I would like to just make sure that I stay focused this round so that I continue focused on healthy eating while I am on my vacation.
Goal: Average 100g of protein over the 10 day round.
Day/Weight/Comment
7/2: 207.0 Got 87g of protein in yesterday. I could have gotten more if I had changed out one of my snacks to something more protein dense. Trainer tonight.
7/3: 206.7...104g of protein. With the increase in protein I notice that I don't snack as much in the evening as I usually do and also know that I need to increase my water intake so I am also drinking more water. I will be working late tonight, but I still want to make sure I still go out for a run later today.
7/4: 206.1...95g of protein. I had preplanned to get in more protein during my evening snack, but I felt full and didn't want to eat anymore. However, later in the evening I still ended up doing some evening snacking but it wasn't my preplanned protein snack and it was just eating for eatings sake. I need to work on that. Didn't go for a run yesterday, but going to the trainer this morning.
7/5: 206.5...69g of protein. It's funny because I thought I was eating a lot more protein. Also didn't get much water in. Had a great workout with my trainer. I realized that without a race goal I don't have as much motivation to go out and run. I also realized that I was a little depressed that since I had my injury I would now have to start back slowly and all I want to do is jump back to the amount of running I was doing before I got injured, but I know that's not smart. So yesterday I got my big girl pants on and signed up for a 5k in August and I'm going to start up slowly running tonight. The race goal will also help me to stay focused with exercising while I'm on vacation.
7/6: 206.5...66g of protein. I didn't run last night because I worked late, but I went out this morning and ran 1.75 miles the longest run in the 6 weeks since my injury...it felt great. I'm going to work on my protein and water today.
7/7:205.4..66g of protein. I didn't realize how much of a struggle it would be for me to get my protein in. This is the lowest weight I've been in about 4 years but more importantly my body has changed so much with weight training that yesterday when I tried on a pair of jeans that I couldn' fit into when I weighed this same weight 4 years ago I can now fit into them. Trainer today.
7/8: 205.4..76g of protein. Did some snacking yesterday, I think I was stressed. Trainer tonight and then chiro adjustment. Going to relax for the rest of the evening.
7/9: 205.4...71g of protein. Very tough workout yesterday so I won't be surprised if I see a jump on the scale tomorrow. I need to do laundry and do some cleaning tonight for my flight on Thursday. PT tonight.
7/10: 205.9...78g of protein. Just trying to finish up the work at my job before I go on vacation. I also have to clean, finish packing, and drop the dog off at the doggie sitter after work. I also plan on going for a run tonight and even though I have a lot of things to do it's more important that I get my exercise in.

end weight from round 81 from 7/1 148.4
goal this round; 1.5 lbs less
end goal: 125
GOAL: Be AWARE of my food choices...
WHY ---do I choose what I choose
WHEN --do I choose the food I choose
HOW ---do those choices impact your weight and fitness goals? The understanding of these questions should be enlightening to help me make better future decisions and change patterns of behavior
2nd round for me. This is a great way to keep in touch with others with similar goals. I'm 49 yo female Canadian expat living in Central America. Good luck all for to continuing the journey to all our goals.To reflect on the last 10 days. I'm stoked that I found this forum. On 6/25 I decided to give up alcohol for a month, partly to help with weight loss, but who am I kidding...lol I need a etoh break anyways. So, I'm doing my exercise, and haven't had etoh in 14 days.

07/03- 204.1 - This past week has been hell for me. I got my root canal done last week and everything went great, but I'm feeling insane pain on my bottom wisdom tooth that is impacted. I won't be able to see my dentist until the 15th and that's for a cleaning and buildup on my root canal tooth. I'm currently on antibiotics for my teeth and living off of ibuprofen, trying to only take 1 a day. On top of that I caught the flu from my parents and I'm cramping What made things worst is instead of feeling sick and not having an appetite I've had a HUGE appetite and keep snacking on chips. My weight went up so much these past few days and I'm happy it finally went down a notch. Trying to stay focused, but I'm in constant pain, work is driving my crazy, I barely see my boyfriend once a week if that and I have 0 social life these days. Just trying to hang in there 
07/04- 203.8 - Yay for the mini loss! But I'm so bloated right now and even my loose tops that hide the tummy have been letting me down. I've been trying to deal with my tooth pain also and haven't taken any meds other than antibiotics these past couple days. Ate healthy today and snacked on some chips, but walked a lot at the lake. I also heard from my friend that had moved which was really surprising. Things still feel a little weird for me, but I was really happy to hear from her and think that put me in a better mood because I had been really bummed lately.
07/05- 203.5 - That walking yesterday definitely did help! I've also been leaving the house earlier than usual so I can go to the grocery store to get my lunch for the day instead of eating out. Pros of today: Got a salad and Atkins pizza for lunch along with deli meat and a pack of baby carrots and hummus for snacking. Cons: I also got a bottle of the Starbucks frap which is super high in carbs, but I didn't want to wait in line at Starbucks and waste more time this morning.
I'm just trying to balance things out and pay more attention to calories right now. Also getting water in (20oz already ) and plan to walk more today.
I'm excited it's the weekend, but it will also be a year since my aunt passed away from cancer. Family is trying to get me to go to the yearly memorial, but they will be holding it at an Armenian restaurant where we did my other uncles 40 day passing memorial. I honestly don't want to go, not to be disrespectful or anything, but her side of the family will be there and some of them are judgmental and love to talk and I really don't need it in my life right now. It's annoying when people watch everything you do and eat, etc.
07/06- No Weigh in
07/07- No weigh in
07/08- 205- I was honestly avoiding posting on here because I was so embarrassed that my weight went back up. I was so excited over my loss too, but think with the holiday weekend I got messed up. Plus being sick and hardly able to move didn't help.
07/09- 204.1- I'm trying today. Feeling a lot better after kicking the fly. Tooth pain has gone down a lot too and finished my antibiotics today. I made a poke salad bowl for dinner last night, but didn't have much. I want to try to get myself into the gym either today or tomorrow, especially now that I can swim again
07/10- 203- Woohoo! Was not expecting to go down, but so happy I finally did. Did pretty well with food yesterday. Salad and lean cosine(however that's spelled) sandwich for lunch then went to KBBQ for dinner. The meat had no fat and was cut so thin it was pretty horrible, so I didn't have as much. Then walked at the mall and Target to get some steps in. Hoping to get these positive vibes going today too.

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.

7/10 - 149.6 Ok, I missed a few days of checking in here, since I wasn't at my desk for work but I'm back! And oh no, it's a few days of increases!
So what's been going on? Well, today starts the TOM for me, so the lead up to that always comes with some irregularity and retention. And on Saturday and Sunday, we mostly ate just one big meal each day, and my body doesn't seem to like that as much, even when it's within calories (or I could also be worse at estimating calories when it's one big meal, especially when eating out!). I did do a great boxing workout on Monday night too (HRM said 600 cals), I prepped delicious healthy low cal lunches for all week, and my water has been good even though I was away from my desk at work. But despite all that, I'm still at my highest weight this round! It was somewhat expected with TOM, but still frustrating to see.
So at times like these, I turn to my data. This "high" weight was the low weight I was hoping to see for so long! In fact, 2 weeks ago in Round 81, this exact weight was the one that caused me to say I jumped up and down in excitement on that scale (even in just one round, having these comments has been so helpful to look back on!). Oh how quickly does a celebration weight turn into a frustration weight! But my average weight this round is still 1.3 lbs less than my average weight last round - and my July average so far is 3.5 lbs less than my average June weight! So, not feeling discouraged at all. This is the natural up and down of the process, and I'm still feeling good about my journey!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/01 …..194.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/02 …..193.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1071 Calories In / 2515 Calories Out. 39 Net Carbs. 11,008 Total Steps & 4.66 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Steps Hours. I did 44 minutes of vigorous cabin cleaning. I slept badly only getting 3 hours & 24 minutes of sleep. Good luck on round 82 Everyone! I appreciate you all.
07/03 …..193.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1062 Calories In / 2450 Calories Out. 23 Net Carbs of mainly veggies. 10,185 Total Steps & 4.31 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Steps Hours. I slept 3 hours & 50 minutes and woke up very early but refreshed (so my weigh-in was an early one). I took an 18 minute walk & I vigorously cleaned a cabin for 37 minutes. I am still feeling very strong in my plan today & my hunger, so far this morning, is still at bay.
07/04 …..193.8 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1086 Calories In / 2929 Calories Out. 22 Net Carbs. 15,178 Total Steps & 6.42 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 12 minutes. I took a 12 minute walk & I spent 204 minutes doing the cabin cleaning which also involves many steps. To all of us in the USA, have a safe & fun holiday & enjoy all your celebrations.
07/05 …..195.8 ….. Carb laden celebration for the holiday including some sweet indulgences. Best guess on Calories In 2475 / Calories Out 2378. Best guess on carbs 201 (ouch!). 10,167 Total Steps & 4.3 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 57 minutes. Back on track today. Feeling carb bloated but strong in my resolve. I hope to be drinking lots of water today.
07/06 …..195.2 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1850 Calories In / 2644 Calories Out. Best guess is 120 Net Carbs. 13,036 Total Steps & 5.52 Total Miles. 9/13 Fitbit Step Hours as I worked on my quarterly sales tax package. I slept 3 hours & 12 minutes and ate very late. I also had an early weigh-in this morning. I had 95 minutes of rigorous cabin cleaning, 11 minutes on the elliptical & a 14 minute walk.
07/07 …..194.8 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 923 Calories In / 2962 Calories Out. 10 Net Carbs. 17,114 Total Steps & 7.24 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 14 minutes. I did yard work for 155 Continual Minutes. I took an 11 minute walk & I danced for 35 minutes. Sample song ”Dream On” by Aerosmith.. Today is Sunday. Lots of rigorous cabin cleaning today. I will also get in plenty of steps!
07/08 …..195.9 ….. Epic Fail on the diet yesterday. I worked so hard on the Sunday cabin cleaning & ended up in the grab & go food mindset. Well over 2000 in Calories & Over 150 Carbs at best count. On the plus side, I did get in lots of activity burning 2955 Calories (so some of this weight has got to be water). 16,071 Total Steps & 6.81 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 53 minutes. I rigorously cleaned cabins for 186 minutes & I did the elliptical for 38 total minutes.
07/09 …..195.7 ….. Travel Day. I’m going to try to be mindful. Great day yesterday. I was hoping for a bigger drop but any drop is progress so I’ll call it a success. Yesterday’s stats: 1194 Calories In / 2560 Calories Out. 23 Net Carbs. 14,281 Total Steps & 6.04 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 42 minutes and awoke early this morning in preparation for travel including packing friendly snacks to help avoid extra temptations. I did rigorous cabin cleaning for 74 minutes which I count as exercise since it is not in my usual routine (although I do more of it during this time of year – tourist season). Off I go. My #1 goal today is to NOT BRING ANY JUNK OR GOODIES HOME that I would consider treats. They are not available in my own home town and I need to keep it that way!
07/10 …..196.9 ….. After travel weigh-in. Ugg. It didn’t beat around the bush or wait a few days to rear its ugly head. Restaurant food twice yesterday, brunch & dinner. Never enough water when I travel, though it feels like I try. Felt the need to take AZO so I know my consumption was too low. On the positive side, I did get in my 10,000 plus steps and I burned over 2700 calories. On the negative side, since carbs make me hungry (even starving) the next day, I am already ready to eat a cow. However, I will keep today at a low cal/low carb day to off-set the damage. I’m going for a glass of water right now……

07/02 – 162.2 Nice to see a drop, however tiny. Busy day yesterday working in the garden.
07/03 – 161.8 Stocked up on groceries with lots of fruit and veggies. Went a bit over on the fresh cherries with LNS but that doesn’t seem to have the bloat effect that the same calories of junk food would. Got out patterns and tidied up my sewing room to make a summer top that fits my present shape and feels good to wear (hopefully). I’ve looked all over for something but impossible to find a sleeveless top for my short apple shape that doesn’t have floppy shoulders and gigantic armholes. Worked out a pattern last fall so hoping it will be a fast, easy sew. Going out to the coast on the 12th.
07/04 – 161.8 – Happy 4th of July to all you Americans. Stayed up way to late last night dithering over how much to spend on a very good holiday sale. But no LNS! Hanging in there to get to 160’s. Not surprising to have 4th of July sales, but this company is in Russia (embroidery stuff – mybobbin.com).
07/05 – 161.8 – Went to bed at a reasonable time but woke up crazy late (9:45).
07/06 – 162 – Good day yesterday, even did a few exercises + few hours garden work. With yard work this summer I think I’m burning as many calories or more than I was going to the gym but I think I’m losing ab muscle tone so decided to do my non-machine gym exercises at home.
07/07 - 162
07/08 – 162.8 – Not sure why this is up as I had a decent day calorie wise yesterday. No exercise and LNS on cherries though. Will aim for no LNS tonight and see if that changes things. Leaving on a short trip on Thurs. so have another busy day.
07/09
07/10- 162.4 – Likely my last post till middle of next round. Off to family get together at a nice vacation spot. Not looking forward to the driving but the visiting will be nice. Packing lunch and snacks to keep from eating junk food. Hoping to at least maintain and remember to opt. for exercise fun over food fun!

I will be back for another round. It will be 1 year on mfp on 7/7 and I honestly thought I would have been at my ultimate goal weight by now. Unfortunately I am not and I still have about 7-8 pounds to go. I have lost 33 pounds though and am very happy with that. I have revised my goal weight a couple of times, but am firm at 138 (at least for right now,lol) I am doing 14 days with no alcohol to see if this is what is slowing my progress down. I am also recovering from a pretty bad infection and still on antibiotics from a stupid spider bite. So maybe I will have a really big whoosh this round! Maybe, fingers crossed!
Round 79: 148.7 - 148.7 Avg 148.38
Round 80: 148.7 - 148.0 Avg 147.22
Round 81: 148.0 - 146.5 Avg 147.87
Goal for round 82: 144 my lowest so far was 145.9 on 6/30
7/02: 145.9 back down to Sundays weight. Good day yesterday with calories and water. Still no alcohol and still no major changes in weight loss. 6 more days to go. We will see what happens. 2 more pounds and I will be "normal" BMI.
7/03: 145.9 still here. We did eat Sonic last night for dinner, but I did not eat the bun and only half my tater tots, so I stayed within my calories. I had also only eaten about 400 calories during the day because I knew we would probably grab something on the go last night. Still no alcohol and plenty of water, so on track for this week so far.
7/04: 145.9 this has been my weight 4 days out of the last 5. Still no alcohol and at a deficit. Going hiking this am with my hubby and hopefully will see a drop tomorrow.
7/05: 146.7 ate at maintenance yesterday so I guess that means a spike up today. Woke up super thirsty with really dry lips, so maybe not enough water yesterday. 11 days no alcohol and not any changes in weight. I’m about to throw in the towel on this no alcohol for 2 weeks thing. I really thought I would have seen at least a pound or maybe 2 pound loss to kick me into overdrive, but I have lost 4/10 of a pound in 2 weeks with a large deficit. I’m sticking with it today still, we will see how I feel tomorrow.
7/06: 146.4 still up a bit, but ate at maintenance again yesterday. Oh well, we went to the movies and I stayed away from the popcorn and beer. I took a small bag of peanuts that I snacked on and had water. The new Spider Man was really good though. We are having a bbq tonight and getting the UFC fights. We have 3 people from NM fighting so it’s going to be a big one for us. We will see how I do tonight!
7/07: 148.1 gave in last night and had some beers during the fights. So totally expected this to be up. I did 12 days without alcohol and it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference in my weight loss rate. I’ve pretty much lost about 1/2 pound a week consistently. My trend is the lowest it’s ever been, so I’m looking at the wins. I should be back down tomorrow or the next day. Lots of water and flushing the liquor out of my system scheduled for today and back to work tomorrow.
7/08: 148.9 did well yesterday, but was really hung over most it, so not a lot of activity. Note to self: when I am so strict for to long I tend to overindulge. Am on track for today and will be back down tomorrow. Almost caught up with every bodies post, but still a couple more pages to go. The holidays throw me off track and I can't stay current, but it seems like everybody made it through the holidays without to much damage. 3 more days to get back down to 145.9, hopefully a little lower at least. Not terrible for a 4 day weekend though, I have had and done worse.
7/09: 147.6 down a bit from the weekend, but still have 1.7 lbs to go to get back to my start weight. Would like to see a new low this round, but we only have 2 days left so that may not happen. Stayed way under calories yesterday and drank a ton of water. On track for today so far and we will see what happens tomorrow.
7/10: 147.6 I think my sodium was a little to high with dinner last night, but I was under calories. I also had a drink with the hubby while cooking. Other than that on track for today and have dinner planned for tonight. Hoping to at least finish where I ended the last round or where I started this one, but that may be wishful thinking, lol.

I will be out of town for some of this challenge. Also, I just started taking medication for underactive thyroid.
I'm hopeful that my hormone levels will become regulated in the near future and this will be a little easier.
I'm going to try not to gain over the 4th of July holiday. This challenge has really helped me to get back on track when
I do gain on vacation.

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 longer than I want.
07/06 143.6, going to do a morning workout, catch a movie, run some errands and home in the afternoon to do some house cleaning.
07/07 143.4, yesterday’s class was the hardest I’ve ever taken and honestly was so painful after (no modifications and didn’t stretch enough) that I don’t think I’ll do that ever (or at least until I’m closer to my goal). I planned to take today off so will keep eating in check. Happy to be on the other side of 143 going into this week, which is my TOM
07/08 143.3, should be a typical Monday. I’m going to my tennis group lesson, but still very sore so this should be interesting. Thankfully, it’s a beginning class so hopefully I won’t have to run too much.
07/09 143.2, still sore from Saturday, but feeling better so will go to gym and do an elliptical workout. I’ve been watching the reboot of Dynasty on Netflix on the machine so hope to be done with the season by the end of the month. A good way to get me to the gym if I only watch a particular show there! I was watching Episodes but it has adult content and I get self conscious watching something risqué at a YMCA!
07/10 142.4, so happy to see this number since officially 30 lbs lost! I probably will be up a bit over the next few days since that is really low, but still excited to see a new number

Day - Weight - Comment
07/02 - 134.3 (-0.3lbs) - Sore today from all the core work yesterday. Food on point. 1hr strength. 35 min cardio. 17 cups water. 12,749 steps.
07/03 - 133.7 (-0.6lbs) - Food was mostly good. I had a handful of vegan cheezits, not the healthiest but was still under calories and the rest of the day was clean. 45min strength. 103min cardio. 16 cups water. 11,441 steps.
07/04 - 134.4 (+0.7lbs) - Bloated! Food was good besides those damn vegan cheezits. 1hr 40min cardio. 149 oz water. 15,597 steps.
07/05 - 135.8 (+1.4lbs) - Water retention. Bloated. Slightly sore. Vegan cheezits again 🤦🏻♀️ I needed to fill calories quick. 30min strength. 1hr 15min cardio. 168oz water, extra because I spent 30min in the sauna, had to replenish.
07/06 - 135.3 (-0.5lbs) - super sore from yesterday’s strength training. Water retention I’m sure. 55m strength, 1hr 10min cardio. 12,583 steps. 152oz water, sauna again.
07/07 - 136.2 (+0.9lbs) - less sore but has to be water retention from the strength training. 30min restorative yoga. 1hr 20min cardio. 16,577 steps. 152oz water, sauna.
07/08 - 135.7 (-0.5lbs) - weighed a lot earlier than normal but my schedule is changing so it had to happen. Besides that still retaining water. 45min strength. 35min cardio. 14,732 steps. 128oz water.
07/09 - 135.3 (-0.4lbs) - a lot more intense strength training lately. It’s probably time for a rest day to recover. Weight doesn’t bother me much as my body is looking great! I did eat pizza yesterday for a birthday but just 2 pieces. Not worried about it. 1hr strength. 1hr 10min cardio. 16,643 steps. 144oz water.
07/10 - 136.2 (+0.9lbs) - water retention and bloat. Lots of lifting. 30min strength. 45min cardio. 17,051 steps. 128oz water.

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!- 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.

07/04- 79.8kg- day 1- fast day!
07/05- 79.3kg (-0.5kg)
07/06- away
07/07-away
07/08- 80.2kg (+0.4kg) - we were away for the weekend at my in-laws who like to put on BIG 3 course lunches and dinners. I tried to keep it under control but this gain is not unexpected. Still disappointing though. Fasting today, hopefully get back on track tomorrow.
07/09- 79.3kg (-0.5kg) - back on track! Have revised my goal for this round to just get into the 78s. I think that will be doable 🤞
07/10- 79.9kg (+0.1kg) - pretty disappointed with this as I only ate 1500 yesterday. Didn’t expect the post fast bounce to be so high.
Fasting today but don’t think we’ll make goal for this round.
07/11- 78.9kg (-0.9kg)- we made it!! 🙌🙌🙌 thank god for fasting days 🤣9
