Day/Weight/Comment

07/22-225.2 fasting until 12pm
07/23 225.6 good day today. Tried pork shoulder with cabbage and sf bbq sauce for dinner. Not bad but need to season the meat more. Ate more fruit than my carbs allowed but stayed under overall calories. Need to figure out how to get moving more.
07/24-224.8 struggled today and way overate on sweets. Tomorrow is another day. Going to fast until lunch and take a walk. Going to do 16:8 through the weekend.
07/25-224.4 fasted 16 hours then ate. Probably could have made it longer, I may stretch it tomorrow. Need to save my calories for a few evening drinks with friends.

Starting 8th round - these daily updates have been so helpful for me to stay on track! Thanks @GrandmaJackie !

Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW: 177.1 lbs
LTG: 110.0 lbs
STG: 133.8 lbs 10 pounds away from MTG of healthy weight category - last seen 6/2011
MTG: 123.8 lbs Leave Overweight category and get into Healthy BMI range (<= 25)- last seen 6/2010

Goal for 10 day Challenge - lose 1.9 pounds (reach 132.0); should be able to make STG of 133.8 and then it is 10 pounds to the healthy weight BMI! Travel to a conference at end of week/early next week so eating lots of meals out will be a challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment

07/22 133.9 Starting off with a drop from the end of last round. Still not below lowest weight in last round, but will get there and make STG! Still felt like water retention from run/walk intervals on Saturday, but better after step & spin class today. NSV: bought cycle shoes which really helped in spin class today; will get the hang of them on the indoor cycles before even thinking about using them on my road bike :-)

07/23 133.7 Small drop, but going in the right direction! Weight day today, so working on form and increased weight for deadlift, squat and bench press. Some sort of stomach bug throughout the day, so just did not have the energy to go back later for intervals for cardio and the pilates class. Hoping that tomorrow is better. Food/water good.

07/24 133.5 Nice and steady (and still holding below STG)! A bit of a surprise after strength training and pasta for dinner yesterday, but was on target for calories yesterday (stomach bug probably helped clear out the system too). 60 minutes of spin class today and overall a lowish carb day (grilled peaches, pistachios and feta salad with salmon with a citrus sauce for dinner (basically trying to spruce up a SunBasket meal kit). Hope to get in an ab routine and some stretching for legs still before end of day.

07/25 133.3 Woohoo! a new low (dropped below low from last round)! Expect that I will see a bump tomorrow with DOMS from weight training today (and cheat meal out of salad with grilled shrimp and french fries with family, but boy were they great!) NSV: went shopping after dinner and now back to small/extra small. Band size on bra has dropped 4 inches (according to the fitter), but cup size increased? Have to keep working on lower belly/upper thighs - slow and steady progress overall will address that with time!

Hi all, this is my second round and excited to see where this next round takes me. I first started my MFP journey in 2015. I dropped down to 138 pounds and went into maintenance. I was fine for awhile until my world went crazy and exercise was no longer a priority. After putting on over 20 pounds, I got back to working out and calorie counting diligently. I have IBS and no gallbladder, so I stick to a low fat diet. I am also hypothyroid which makes losing weight at times challenging. I keep on trucking because the pot of gold at the end of 🌈 is health and an increased life expectancy.

UG: to love my body; even with stretch marks, cellulite and loose skin. Gain muscle and lower body fat.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 127lbs. Had a good workout 🏋️‍♀️. Yesterdays forced rest did my body good and I was able to easily knock out two hours of strength and aerobics. Ending my day with a yoga 🧘‍♀️ session for recovery. Feeling good, even with the scale not moving in a few days.

07/23 128.3lbs. Weight is up, trying not to panic and cut my daily calories. IBS flare up cut my workout short today and sent me home to bed with my heating pad. Crossing my fingers I will be all good tomorrow.

07/24 129lbs (sigh). Went on a ten mile walk with my son. Afterwards, every inch of my body hurt, while my son was still bouncing around full of energy. Lol, I thought he would collapse when we got home, but nope it was mid-30s old me. I did a good stretch drank down my protein shake and took a nap 😴. Hoping to see the scale go down tomorrow 🤞.

07/25 129.9lbs🤦🏽‍♀️. Up again, but inches are still coming off; just not reflected on the scale. I just increased my protein using shakes, so maybe that’s causing the scale to go up. Had a good walk with my son. It’s a good way to get him away from the tv during the summer. Today, he even asked when are we going on our walk (proud mama). Got in some strength training and recovering with yoga.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 189.6 – Bit of a Monday morning bounce. Not a surprise given the sausage, snacks, and wine I had yesterday.
07/23 188.8 – Didn’t post yesterday because storms knocked out power for a while. The winds also took down some large tree branches, tossed around my patio shelter, and blew a large umbrella into the pool. Fortunately, we had no serious damage and once the rain ends it’s supposed to be a gorgeous week. That means I can get back to walking! Met my exercise goal yesterday by cleaning up the yard. Today’s “workout” was trying on clothes. Did some “shopping” in my closets today and scored 7 pairs of pants that now fit, including 4 pairs with tags on them that I bought at a clearance sale in 2017. Yay!
07/24 188.4 – Delightfully cool morning! What a pleasure after last week’s heat and humidity! Walked in the park after class, enjoying the lovely day. Ice cream with the kids put me over on calories, but I was enough under yesterday that it averaged out.
07/25 184.4 – Another lovely day! Got a bunch of chores done after class, and then my daughter and I took the boys to the county fair. We all had a wonderful time! Drank plenty of water and easily met my step goal. I was careful about food choices earlier in the day to allow for some treats, but even so, the bag of zeppoles we bought on the way out might have put me over my calorie limit. Totally worth it though, even if I see a bounce tomorrow. It’s a once-a-summer tradition that my daughter and I share, and we enjoyed every sugar-dusted bite!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 - 60.7kg - Oof not a great start but I overate last night so hopefully it'll even out. Otherwise a good day
07/23 - 60.3kg - Settling down a bit. Now to just get more consistent with my eating patterns!!!
07/24 - 59.9kg - Yas! Down to the 50s again (not comfortably but hey it's progress). I've managed to semi slot back into my regular eating patterns but still struggling with eating for my calorie counts vs. eating when I'm hungry/overeating. But I'll get there!
07/25 - 59.7kg - Yes for progress! But I definitely overate today so I'm worried about what the scale will show tomorrow
07/26 - 59.8kg - Yes the scale showed my mistake but it wasn't as much as I expected which is good? Still not happy though. I made the mistake today of getting some sweets at the supermarket so I completely went over my calorie limit today. Feeling really crap but I'm determined to make some changes. Part of me doing this challenge is to just be more aware of what I'm doing and having a place to answer for when I mess up like this. So I'm not doing as great as I could be, but eventually I can get over this. Please @ me if you have any tips for switching into a healthy eating mindset or just being healthier!!!

Round 84 (1st Round) Target: Fasting Blood Sugar under 100mg/dL

Hi.
I was pre-diabetic a few years ago, and got it under control. Ahead of my annual physical on Aug 2, I took my morning blood sugar for the first time in months and it was 140! I'm freaking out! Do NOT want to take meds for type 2 diabetes. So the goal is to get my fasting blood sugar (FBS) down to below 100. And take about 40 lbs off over the course of the next year. Each day I'll post my weight and my morning blood sugar. Thanks, Everybody for the inspiration.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 - 140mg/dL - 1 hour spin class and weight training. Ate low carb today.
07/23 - 207lbs - FBS 109mg/dL - Walked 9 holes carrying my golf bag; Started Keto.
07/24 - 204.8lbs - FBS 104mg/dL - 18 holes of golf; weight training; Keto day 2!
07/25 - 203,0 - FBS 109 - spin class; 9 holes of golf; Keto Day 3

I am back for this round and took several rounds off, but I don’t have the grand kids for 2 weeks and want to get back to tracking. I am not concentrating on anything but just getting back on track. I was finally able to get at least 2 walks in already that have been 2 hours long, happy about this. The humidity is supposed to break so next week will also be good for walking.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 - 194.8
07/23 – 194.2
07/24 – 196.2 This is stress eating and no exercise. I will get this and get back on track and stay there. Everything seems to be going wrong these days; I just want something to go right.
07/25 - (It’s my Birthday) – 196
07/26 - 195.4 I am pleased with this but have been doing a lot of walking and still sore from yesterday. I walked 4 miles at our middle school track and a total of 2 miles to and back home. Plus another hour and a half cleaning (dusting, vacuuming and scrubbing bathroom)I am sore so rest today and probably the weekend. I still have a ways to go to lose the few extra pounds I put on. I did not eat totally healthy and ate more than I should have.

Last full round before I head off holiday on 2nd August so plenty of reason to stay focused! No major social events or staying away this round to contend with either. Aiming to finish 133 something which was my hoiday target some months back so really pleased I'm pretty much there. So aiming to lose at least 1lb which is very do-able

Good luck everyone!

Round Start Weight 134.9lb

07/22 - 135.7lb (+0.8lb) OK with this - standard Monday morning increase as had our usual Sunday family roast dinner with dessert (but all within daily calories!) and also a very early weigh in this morning. Had to be up at 430am to get my 16 year old daughters breakfast lunch and dinner sorted and see her off on her work experience at Guys and St Thomas Hospital London. All good though and feeling very motivated, positive and fired up for this round

07/23 - 134.3lb (-1.4lb) so 0.6lb down over the start of the round now my Sunday dinner has worn off All good, heading in the right direction, good food day planned and gym session tonight. And a NSV today - someone at work commented about the weight I had lost - they had noticed by the fact my trousers were so much looser - and on a visit to the ladies I realised I can get my trousers off without undoing them now : 8 days of this round + 1day before I go on holiday to reach my 133 target - its in sight and SSSOOO close ......

07/24 - 134.3lb (0.0lb STS) All good - my usual lose a bit, stabilise then (hopefully) drop a bit more. Plus the gym last night was really hot, so a very sweaty Tabata session and I drank loads of water as a result! All looking good for today food wise - just need to keep drinking as fairly hot here at the minute (mid 30's which is hot by UK standards anyway!)

07/25 - 133.90lb (-0.4lb) WWWOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! Finally hit the 133's (UK Based so this equates to 9.5stone). May have been this weight when I got married 18 years ago but definitely not been back here since then - been close but never here. And made it with still a week to go before my holiday. Intending to stay focused for this last week though as liking how I feel about myself at the moment weight wise and also being in control

07/26 - 134.4lb (+0.5lb) OK scales that is just mean Weird day yesterday as it was ssoo hot and humid here (hit the high 30's) but still went to the gym. Drank loads and loads of water yesterday and ate late because of the heat and its not unusual for me to drop weight then fluctuate a bit up and down. Still happy and focused which is the main thing !

Height 5ft 5ins
07/22 79.8kg I'm struggling to stay motivated with the exercise. My caloric intake is improving although I'm struggling to meet my protein goals as a vegetarian. But I persevere.
07/23 79.8kg At least it's not going up right?! First YouTube Zumba tonight. Hard but good fun. Searched YouTube and created a playlist of my faves. 55 minutes of the routines I enjoy and the songs I love all on the comfort of my own living room.
07/24 79.6kg I guess the YouTube Zumba worked 🤷🏾‍♀️ Salsa class tonight so let's go for it! (No-one noticed my typo in the previous post! I wrong an aspirational but wholly unrealistic 78.6 instead of 79.6!)
07/25 79.4kg Excellent salsa class despite the heat. Starting Cuban salsa level 1 tonight.
07/26 79.6kg Cuban salsa was less energetic but the heat had me embarrassingly drenched in sweat. Up 0.2kg this morning so feeling a bit disappointed. Will address the Zumba tonight with even more enthusiasm.

I am ready to drop a couple of pounds this round. I haven't made the progress this summer that I had hoped for but its a marathon not sprint and slow and steady will win the race. But man this is a little to slow. Time to get to it. Good luck all.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 269.5 I would love to see 266 in 10 days.Not gonna happen sitting on the couch, time to get moving.
07/23 268.5 Good past 24 hrs, focusing on exercise eating less calories. Better choices all around.
07/24 267.8 woo having a good week, if I could just do it on the weekends to
07/25 268.5 pretty consistent numbers, plan to really watch my eating over the weekend
07/26 268.7 Not losing much but much more consistent than the past 3 or 4 rounds, not having the big 2 -3 pound swings up and down. i will be happy if I'm around 267 after this round.

07/22 ~ 205.4/ Please just give me ten days without cocktails
07/23 ~ 205.2/ Great day yesterday other than it being too stinkin’ hot to get outside; no alcohol consumed
07/24 ~ 203.8/ Yay! Another great day yesterday and no evening drinks
07/25 ~ 203/ I am loving this! I wanted to snack last night while watching t.v. but so glad I didn’t…and no adult beverages
07/26 ~ 203.2/ Up 0.2…don’t like to see it go in that direction but it’s not horrible. Ironic that yesterday I exercised for 45 mins for the first time in a little bit and then my body stops losing…but, if I am going to weigh myself every day I have to be able to handle fluctuations without letting it get me down. Halfway to ten days with no extra calories from alcohol and that is awesome!

Goal for this 10 days - learn daily moderation instead of restrict until I get frustrated and start bingeing again! Need to get out of this pattern.

7/22 - 141.3
7/23 - 142.0. TOM due today. I really need it to get here. The bloating and cramps are out of control (sorry to all the men out there for having to read that...)
7/24 - 141.1. Don't know how because I had a binge yesterday. Will probably see that on the scale later this week. TOM appeared at least so maybe some of that bloat is leaving.
7/25 - 140.4
7/26 - 139.1
