07/22 168.1 I'm a little bummed I didn't make my goal for Round 83. I really felt like I was retaining water the entire Round from my trip to Colorado and maybe still now. Two excellent parts of this weekend. Saturday morning I spent with my great-niece. We played in the shade at the park for almost an hour before it got too hot. Sunday it cooled down (heat index in the 110 area Saturday afternoon) after a storm and I walked 3 miles in the morning then met a girlfriend and walked 3.5 yesterday evening. It was beautiful, about 80 degrees and breezy.

I was glad she was with me because there was a crazy homeless guy on the trail. He just muttered to himself when he passed us so we didn't think too much about it other than it's very sad. When we turned around to go back he had stopped along the trail and unpacked his stuff all over the path. Which was very weird but not dangerous. Unfortunately, he had also started a fire in the woods burning a bunch of cables and other things that was giving off a chemical smell. Once we got well passed we called the fire department, about 5 minutes later we saw the truck and stopped them to explain where it was since there wasn't an address. He said don't worry, we saw the smoke already. It's so sad but at the same time, you don't know what people are going to do or what brought them to this terrible place.

07/23 169.1 After my 6.5 miles the day before I wasn't going to walk last night but it was soooooo nice that I had to walk a little. Just two miles in the neighborhood with my dog. The weight is TOM. Time will fix this problem. Meanwhile, it's CI/CO. Focus on health and not weight, blah blah blah. I found this link in another thread about water retention that I thought might help some. It helped me. I thought I had beat the water retention game but the last few weeks I haven't been able to lose the water. I think it's because of stress. I am VERY stressed right now with my home life. It did give me some mental relief that I wasn't going crazy.

07/24 169.9 This should drop in a few days. I walked three + miles last night. The weather is unseasonably pleasant. Usually, the end of July first of August is the hottest part of the year but we've got a week in the 80s with mild humidity. This is a small miracle for Missouri. It should be gym night but I'm struggling because it's beautiful outside.

07/25 167.7 Whooosh two stinky pounds! Happy days! I did go to the gym last night because it was 92 when I got off. I brought the clothes to go walking tonight. I didn't travel this week, and right now it doesn't look like I'm going anywhere next week. That should help with water retention. When it wasn't too hot and I could break up the drive with a walk in the middle it helped a little (I think).

07/26 167.7 All good. Walked my 3 miles last night on a trail I haven't been on in a few months. It's lovely for about a mile and boring for the rest. Within calorie goals even with a strawberry ice cream crunch I did have Chinese for lunch yesterday so I expected some water retention but it didn't happen. OR this weight does include water ??? Probably not but you can't blame a girl for trying

Happy Friday!

07/27 168.1 Walked one short mile in the woods but I got my friend to go with me. The rest of the day was a blur, shopping lunch, housework, grocery store, birthday party.

7/28 168.9 Too many birthday party snacks last night. It's hard to walk away from freshly made guacamole. Walked 3.5 miles with my Dusty dog in the woods. I wish it wouldn't have been so hot, I could have walked a lot more. The rest of the day doing housework and visiting with the kids and the baby.

7/29 No Scale I know I was over yesterday too. This birthday weekend thing is harder than anticipated. I went over both days. I guess I'll find out tomorrow what it means for the end of the round. One more dinner tonight and then I'm done with birthdays for another year.
AMEND: My coworkers had a surprise food day for my birthday. So two more meals but they made healthy snacks. I love the fact that they are honoring my lifestyle change (and not my diet).

My ultimate weight loss goal is to be 135

Day/Weight/Comment
‪07/22 157‬ this is about two pounds heavier than I normally am. Not sure what is with the fluctuation as I have consciously been eating healthier. Today I feel good. I am heading out of town for 3 days and I need something to keep me accountable . This is my first 10 day challenge
07/23 ???lbs no scale while I’m out of town. But I choose a healthy salad for eat out dinner and walked 3 miles exploring yesterday. Did strength training and crunches before heading out. Drank 100 oz of water.
07/24 ???lbs- still no scale, but I feel like I lost weight. Be interesting to see when I weigh Friday morning. Yesterday I went on a gorgeous 5.5 hike. Dinner out again last night. I’m a sucker for Mexican food I went slightly over my calories. Going to watch my calorie And carbs today, as I won’t be as active this day of the trip
07/25 ??? lbs- just got back in but want to wait until morning to weigh. Yesterday was a rough day no breakfast, big lunch then late night pizza dinner. Plus I didn’t drink as much water as I would have liked. What can I say I was enjoying my mini vacation. Friday through Sunday will be camping hopefully I can burn some calories on the kayak or swimming.
07/26 156lbs well I went on a getaway and lost a pound. Not going to complain, now if I can do the same while camping
07/27 camping
07/28camping
07/29 157 i was pretty active on the camping trip and mostly stayed in my calorie goal. Had some sweets and wine though. What’s really weird is yesterday when I got home I Weighed and my scale said 151. I thought there was no way that was right. Weighed myself several times that evening and same thing. But this morning back in the upper 150’s.
07/30
07/31

I am officially 5 rounds away from turning the big 4-0! That means I have 50 days to lose another 5 pounds and be below 140. When I started way back in July of 2018 I thought I would have already reached my goal, but alas I am still working on it, lol. My only goal this round is to see a new low and that my 10 day average continues to drop, however slow that may be and believe me the last couple of rounds it has been extremely slow.

Round 80: 148.7 - 148.0 down .7 Avg 147.22
Round 81: 148.0 - 146.5 down 1.5 Avg 147.87
Round 82: 146.5 - 146.3 down .2 Avg 146.93
Round 83: 146.3 - 145.9 down .4 Avg 146.72


07/22 - 147.3 up from yesterday, but had a good day. Did eat at the mall and then do some snacking while meal prepping for the week. So I am sure I will be back down soon. Finished my daughters room and all the school shopping for both girls. Dinner planned tonight and breakfast/lunches planned for the week. On track for today and should be an early night to bed. The youngest starts her last year of elementary tomorrow since she is in year around. Can't believe I will finally be done with that school. From my oldest to the youngest I have been going there continuously for the last 16 years!


07/23 - 146.7 I overate last night and did some snacking after I got home from work. I was starving all day yesterday and couldn't curve it for some reason. It was just one of those days I guess. For the next 9 days I am going to try and do absolutely no snacking before dinner, while cooking, or clean up after dinner. I am just eating to eat at that point and there is no point to it. So day 1 let's see how I do.

07/24 - 144.4 yes! Finally now all I have to do is keep it down and drop a couple more ounces before the end of the month. I can see that 143.xxx right around the corner. On track for today and dinner set for tonight!

07/25 - 143.1 New low and a huge drop! I almost cried when I saw this, I was so happy. We will see if it sticks tomorrow, but right now I am super thrilled with it! I almost have a 3 pound loss for the month, and I haven't had one of those since October. This made a new happy scale milestone (2 more to go), completes 35 pounds lost, I am officially in the "normal BMI" category by a couple of ounces, and I am at the top of my maintenance weight. I would like for my maintenance weight to be 138-143 eventually. I will see if I like it there and figure out what I want to do at that point. I am sure it will take me a while to get lower. This has been a pretty big month of weight loss, so I am totally expecting a jump up or to stay here for a while and I am completely ok with that. 6 days left to hold on and see what I can do. I have a tendency to let myself relax when I get comfortable and I am determined not to do that this time. I really want to see myself at 138.

07/26 - 143.1 I am shocked that this stayed the same. Maybe it is a real number. I snacked a little before dinner and then while cleaning up, so I was kind of worried this morning. Low cal day today and should be able to stay on track without any issues tonight. Would love to go into the weekend this low and be able to maintain the next 5 days. If I can finish the month at 143 or maybe even 142 something I will be thrilled.

07/27 - 141.7 I can’t believe I dropped even more. This month has been amazing! I am at almost 5 pounds lost and I never have months like that. I lose maybe a pound a month the last 4 or 5 months. I am so happy that it’s finally catching up and the scale is showing my hard work. It may go up over the weekend, but in super thrilled going in so low!

07/28 - 144.0 I hate that I eat a couple of carbs and boom 2 - 3 pounds overnight. Nice Japanese grill date night with hubby complete with korin beer and some saki. Water and better food options are in store for the rest of the day. Would like to end this month around 142 or back to 141!

07/29 - 144.4 The rest of Saturday night I am sure. Had shopping, laundry, and chores around the house all day yesterday, so my water was not as good as I would have liked. Today is planned and logged. Should have a nice drop tomorrow and hopefully will finish up this month and this round with a pretty good loss!

R84 SW 130.5

07/22 131 Happy. Ribs yesterday. This is still a new low, even if it's up .5 from yesterday!
07/23 131.5 Ok....Still lower than last round except for the last day, but would prefer not to keep going up! 3 mile run this morning--felt pretty good, and sustained a decent pace! Then went to a really great yoga class!

07/24 131.5 Happy to see that the upward drift stopped. Tried out a new YMCA class--Body Jam. It was a dance class and although I wasn't spot on, I didn't totally embarrass myself and apparently I burned some calories. Then I went for a 4 mile very hilly walk.
07/25 131.5 Yay! This number is still sticking. Was careful yesterday, because Thursday is one of my challenge weigh in days and I wanted to stay low!

07/26 132 No particular reason for this. I ate a little more yesterday, but all healthy and I exercised a ton, so it was all within the counts. Probably a normal bounce.
07/27 131 There we go. I exercised a ton yesterday, with a big deficit. Really looking forward to breaking into the 120's!

07/28 131.5 I went walking yesterday. Then we went to a movie and out for Ethiopian food. So both a higher carb and an "I don't really know how many calories...." day. But had 1000 calories left for dinner, so I was probably ok. Totally fine being up .5 today.

07/29 132 Found leftover chocolate cake in the freezer when I was cleaning it yesterday, so we all had a piece for dessert. Also no TMI (as @quiltingjaine would say!) Hoping the blip up goes away by the end. I'd be happy at 131.xxx as my start weight was a new low.

Day/Weight/Comment

07/22 203.7 – I haven't been on as much on here. Every time I try to log on it was booting me out and I couldn't get to this page. So bummed that my weight went back up again. I keep yoyoing around the same weight for the past few months

07/23 204.8- Not surprised. I kind of gave in and just had a sandwich for lunch and I wanted to have something healthy for dinner, but the line at the market was taking forever, so I ended up having Wingstop Aaaand a late night boba drink (minus the boba) I did go to the store last night and grab a salad for work today. I'll also be spending the night at my boyfriends these next couple days because it's our 4 year anniversary which also means prob lots of celebration food and no scale for a couple days. Oh Lord give me strength!

07/24- DNW

07/25- DNW

07/26- 206.5- Yup Anniversary totally screwed me up. It's funny because I walked a lot at the beach and Disneyland and didn't even eat much or anything bad. Not sure what I did wrong

07/27- 205.9

07/28- 205.5- Getting better. Worried about tomorrow because I'll be going to the OC Fair with friends I haven't seen in a long time and have a birthday right after.

07/29- 205- So happy it sent down instead of up from yesterday. I walked A LOT! I ended up having an orange chicken bowl at the fair and a couple fries oreos and a beer. Also had a slice of pizza at the birthday and a coke But I've had enough of my crap of falling off the wagon, so I have a poke salad I'm having for lunch (got the poke from Gelson's) and planning to meal prep this week and push myself to start going to the gym again. I fell off way too hard this round and I keep getting further from my goal. Really really need to stop giving in and letting others throw me off track. Going to try to reach my goals these next couple rounds. Also updating my challenge GW because losing 5lbs in two days sounds terrible

Stats & Round goals
My plan for the next 2 months (9 weeks) is to get dow to 68.0, that's 5kg to lose, which is 0.8kg each 10 day round. I have a bet with a friend to achieve this.
To do this, I will stick with logging, eat healthy and exercise. I will see how I can reduce my eating window during my work days.

Nooo, this is the wrong direction. I guess it's a combination of the weekend and yesterday's evening run and too little water during the heat, oh and no TMI, since we're talking about that . I could also see this morning that my feet were swollen with what I guess is water retention.
Day went ok, big but healthy dinner and ovulation pain again. Bike ride with DH after dinner and then a brief walk,still not made my steps. I gotta go back to walking at lunch time.

07/21 …..195.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/22 …..198.2 ….. After DGS’ birthday party weigh-in. However, it’s the late night binge that bit me in the butt. 2793 Calories In / 3003 Calories Out. 16,678 Total Steps & 7.06 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 6 minutes which was badly needed.

07/23 …..196.8 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1293 Calories in / 3289 Whopping Calories Out!. 31 Net Carbs which included Spaghetti Squash Lasagna. 23,543 Total Steps & 10.04 Total Miles. Both are probably my record. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 50 minutes & woke up tired but am doing okay now. I walked for 60 minutes, rigorously cleaned cabins for 97 minutes & I danced for 51 minutes. Sample Song: “Black Magic Woman” by Santana.

07/24 …..196.2 ….. Travel Day. Yesterday’s stats: 1121 Calories In / 2458 Calories Out. 28 Net Carbs. 12,207 Total Steps & 5.17 Total Miles. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 16 minutes.

I’ll be traveling with my keto friendly snacks. I didn't sleep well but I'm feeling pretty good. I feel powerful today. I'm promising myself NO DONUT SHOP! It's a "treat" our town doesn't have & one I CANNOT afford right now!

07/25 …..197.9 ….. After Travel weigh-in. I really don’t want to talk about it. It was lunch AND dinner out because of it being such a long day out of town afterall. Let’s just say that I’ve got some work to do. Traveling tomorrow and I will not be back until Sunday. I use a PC and I will not likely have access to a computer. I have an older phone but I can’t seem to get the app to work I’ll go by my daughters this evening for help. I would like to be able to log in while away on my phone. I hate to break my mfp streak. I hate to go away for the next 3 days but emotionally & socially it seems vital to me right now. It is odd & unexpected the way things change when your husband passes away and you are not longer a “couple”. You feel more like a 5th wheel. Not at family events, but socially. This lady friend that I am going with was someone I met as a customer of mine this past spring. She is recently divorced and feels much of what I’ve been feeling the past 3 years. So this trip is important to both of us emotionally & socially. We plan on having great fun! It will be filled with lots of activities & food choices will not always be something I can 100% control, but I plan on doing my best, even though my best is just not good enough yet. Notice, I said YET. I’ll never give up the good fight!



07/26 …..197.9 ….. Travel begins. I really want to drink more water but I usually don’t get as much during travel & events. I am going to try to focus on that this time.
07/27 …..xxxxx ….. Travel. No scale.
07/28 …..xxxxx ….. Travel, no morning scale.
07/29 …..xxxxx ….. After travel weigh-in. Nope. Not even going there! Buffet dinner on the way home last night. Today, not so good. Grab & go. So behind in work in the cabins due to all the checkouts yesterday that now need to be cleaned. Also, contractors showed up today to dig up behind cabins 3 & 4 to resolve some slow (septic) plumbing issues (clogs easily) so I am s.t.r.e.t.c.h.e.d to my limit on time. HUGE part of my yard dug up. Tons of cabin laundry awaits.
My house is a mess from my brother (the house sitter while I was gone). And I would still LOVE to walk this evening if the thunderstorms stop. Not a good round for me but I'll check back in tomorrow. Have a good evening everyone!

07/22 - 216.8 had a big up on the scale today from yesterday, but probably due to first day of period. Started Keto today because my weight loss has been so slow with regular CICO and my nutritionist said I may have insulin issues due to my PCOS, so giving it a shot. Energy levels high most of the challenges are mental but it's amazing how hard that is to overcome. Worked out with my PT today - super intense, very tired but happy
07/23 - 214.4 omg! Biggest loss I've ever had overnight. Thanks, Keto! I know it's just water weight and it really only put me .6 below my start weight for this after yesterday's high, but it gave me the morale I needed to keep going. Had a DXA bodyscan today - 46.5% body fat. What an eye opener... I had no idea it was that much. Used these two things to motivate me to stick to keto today. Crazy busy today so didnt exercise, but got lots of walking and stretching in today and will definitely go to the gym tomorrow.
07/24 - 214.2! That seems like a much more reasonable overnight change, so I'm happy. Hopefully some of this is fat and not all water. Thinking about all the visceral fat in my body scan has motivated me well to stick to my diet all day. Got an intense workout in on the elliptical and I'm feeling pretty good on Day 3 of keto!
07/25 - 212.6! Another big loss overnight! It feels like a miracle! Very happy on Day 4 of Keto but did buy an electrolyte today to help w a 2-day headache. Had a very stressful and agitating day but stuck to my calorie goals. Did not exercise... Spent the entire day waiting for a Frontier technician that never showed up and by the time the service window cloaed at 6pm, had to scramble to get chores done. Will get more exercise tomorrow and hope for a continued weight loss tonight despite no exercise
07/26 - 211! Omg, so happy! I ended up working out last night after posting that I felt bad not exercising. Then today, I definitely didn't eat enough during the day but then my partner came back from a long work trip and we did a celebratory meal and... I definitely ate a lot! It was my first time struggling to stick to keto because everything at the steakhouse was glazed but I got them to make me a special unglazed meal. Felt crazy full though so worried I overate. Got a tough workout in during the morning so hopefully that plus eating light during the day didnt reverse my losses
07/27 - 210.8! Glad to still see some loss despite my super heavy dinner. We had company visit today so I wasnt able to take time away to exercise, but we walked around a lot touring our new area. I stuck to my diet despite how hard it was to find keto options at the restaurants we went to, so I'm proud of myself for that
07/28 - 210.6! Very reasonable overnight loss. Woke up today with a cold (a real cold, not keto cold - coughing, sneezing, sore throat, congestion) Didn't do any exercise but did stick closely tp diet which was an accomplishment in itself bc usually when I'm sick I like tea w honey and simple carbs to eat.. so that is a big win! The lose is that our first free day in our new house and rather than do needed chores, I just lay about all day 😔
07/29 - 209.6! Haven't seen this side of 210 in a long time! So exciting to see a change in the tens position of my weight. Fingers crossed I can stay under 210 and this isn't just a spurious loss on the scale. Still sick with a cold though so missed work and my personal training today. Sticking to diet, hoping to be healthy so I can be exercising and productive again!

I have taken a couple of rounds with fb due to my daughter getting married and company visiting. In amongst all of that I started a new job. My weight is way up from where I was, so I’m starting to get serious again.

July 22 - 184.5 - nothing to say about this I was hoping to never see the 180’s again.
July 23 - 183.2 - had a good day yesterday
July 24 - 184.6 - had some carbs yesterday, it sure makes a difference
July 24 - 184.4 - another fair day yesterday. I was within my goals.
July 26 - 184.0 - surprising after the way I ate yesterday.
July 27 - 185.0 - that makes sense. I need to get my diet under control again.
July 28 - 185.8 - I am so disappointed in myself.
July 29 - 184.8 - not so bad I guess.

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.

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.

Age: 36
Height 5’2-5’3 been measure both.
HW: 230lbs
SWMFP: 220lbs
CW: 127
GW: 115-120
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.

07/26 127.9lbs. Finally, the scale is down. It was 🥵 hot today and I didn’t eat much and skipped my walk. I did step aerobics, which kills my glute muscles and some weight training 💪. Tomorrow will brave the heat and walk my 100 blocks.

07/27 127lbs. Busy day; lots of walking logged doing errands. Got some strength training in using my kettlebell and my body is sore. NSV: just realized all my clothes are baggy on me! Shopping trip is in my future. I learned sometimes you have to ignore the scale and go by the measuring tape and pics.

07/28 126.5lbs. The scale is going down but so are my calories. It’s 🥵 outside and the heat is killing my appetite. I got up early and got in my strength training and step aerobics. I than walked four miles to my doctors appt and back. Ending the day with a hot bath for my muscles 💪. My goal for the next week is to make sure my protein intake is up.

07/29 126lbs. Another day of the scale going down 😃. Today was my rest day, so it was sixty minutes of step aerobics and stretching my sore muscles. I tried to up my protein with whey protein and it made me anxious and jittery! I may have force myself to eat more food. Goal for tomorrow 80g of protein.

Goal this round: 138

7/25: (140.6) I just started back with MFP today. In the past I've never really made an effort to be involved in the community, and I always just stopped tracking. I feel ready to take this seriously now, mostly because I want to improve my athletic performance, and at this point in my life that has to include diet. I exercised less than usual today because it was a rest day. I didn't eat that well, but I didn't eat that poorly, either. I was really planning on starting tomorrow.
7/26: (139.8) Did bootcamp first thing this morning and walked the dog twice. Until about 3:00, I ate really well, but that's usually the case. I had a healthy breakfast and lunch then snacked in the afternoon instead of eating the salmon I thawed for dinner. I plan to be a little more organized tomorrow.
7/27: (140.4) Felt thinner, but weight was up. I ran 5 miles this morning then walked the dog twice again. I'm feeling pretty hormonal. Oddly, according to my Apple Watch, I've burned way, way more calories (11,500 so far) this month than any other month in the 17 months I've had it, and I am 100% certain I haven't eaten more, yet my weight is up four pounds.
7/28: (140.4) Sigh. I didn't exercise at all today. The dog is barking as a result. I also ate too many carbs and not enough veggies because I didn't feel like going to the store. But I'm finished eating for the day. Even though this is really not going the way I would like, I realize that consistency is the key--tracking and exercising. And I also think there's a slight possibility my weight is up because I increased exercise so much. That seems to happen to me at first when I really ramp it up. I'm not giving up yet, but it doesn't look like I'm going to hit that short-term goal.
7/29: (139.8) I’m back down again. Right now I don’t see any rhyme or reason to when the scale is up and when it’s down, but I’m determined to stay consistent. I ate more today than I’ve been eating. Since this is only my first week at this, I’m not going to be too hard on myself, but I do think I could make some positive changes in my diet. Tomorrow morning I’m going on a nine mile run/walk, and that always makes my weight go up.

Ready for my round 21
OSW 88KG
RSW 65.5 kg (-22.5 kg) or {- 49.6 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started...so close to 50lbs loss and to 200 days of doing this
07/22 65.0 kg. I've lost 23kg {50.7 lbs} in 199 days! IF isn't making me delighted but I am getting loose skin so I'm trying to get rid of that. Also doing pilates and bodyweight training on alternate days. And I nearly forgot to say... I'm loving being on holiday somewhere beautiful!
07/23 65.0kg twice in a row makes it real and its day 200 so I'm very happy. IF going a bit better as it helped having a carpenter in the house blocking access to the fridge! Pilates was tough yesterday and pushup and squats happening later today.
07/24 65.1kg which isn't a problem. Pilates later today and I'll walk down to the beach for a swim. Barely moved out of the house with the plumbers and carpenters here.
07/25 65.0kg with a very short swim and some pilates yesterday. IF is getting easier. Today's plan is a repeat of yesterday's with the addition of a fish lunch as we saw the catch come in yesterday. I'd love to post pics but it only allows me to do it on the pc at work which is far away!
07/26 65.0kg still here. Its all going smoothly so I guess the weight will come off when it wants to! Pushup, squats and a swim yesterday. Pilates some time today.
07/27 65.1kg really thought I'd see a stop today as I wasn't feeling too great to went to bed early. Maybe tomorrow.
07/28 65.0kg again. Ate over calories yesterday but still at a deficit. Haven't exercised for 2 days as I've been feeling dizzy. Back on it today no excuses.
07/29 65.0kg but did the pushup and squats yesterday. No more dizziness and IF its a bit easier although it's the only thing I have changed and now I'm not losing. I'll keep at it for a few more weeks to see if there are benefits.
07/30 65.0kg...I'm on holiday is ok not to be losing!
