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.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment

07/02- 205

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.

7/05 - 148.0

7/09 - 148.8
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!

********LOOK AND SEE HOW MUCH THESE 10 DAY CHALLENGES HAVE HELPED ME********


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……






07/11 …..xxxxx …..

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.

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.

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 🤣
