Female 50yr
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![/quote]
07/25 79.4kg Excellent salsa class despite the heat. Starting Cuban salsa level 1 tonight.
07/26 79.6kg (175.5lbs) 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 attack the Zumba tonight with even more enthusiasm.
07/27 79.3kg Had a great Zumba glass and was significantly under my caloric intake -was too hot and tired to eat. Will exercise earlier and make sure I eat beforehand.
07/28 79.2kg
07/29 79.1 kg Feeling pretty good. Keeping up with my exercise and staying within my calories.
07/30 79.1kg Adjusting my daily calorie goal down to 1200/day as I seem to managing close to this.
07/31 78.6 kg Not believing this jump. It's definitely dehydration -Zumba was an oven last night. Nevertheless 1kg in 10 days would be an awesome achievement.

Day/Weight/Comment

7/22 - 161
I ate too much at my art show reception yesterday and had salty stuff later, so this gain is water. I’m back on track today and foregoing flour and added sugar for the foreseeable future. I mulched my new garden for a good 90 minutes this morn8ng, and am going for a walk after dinner. Did I mention that the temperature has cooled WAY down? Yay!

7/23 - 162
Gaaa! That’s the delayed effect of Sunday. ‘Sokay. I was within my calorie goal and macros were good yesterday and I got plenty of exercise. Onward.

7/24 - 161
I went out for dinner with 3 friends and 2 very annoying women, one of whom never stopped talking (“me me my me” for the whole 3 hours. I ate responsibly there but came home and had a glass of Bailey’s, a bowl of ice cream, and a bag of popcorn. Sigh. I thought I was past that. Oh, well. I followed up with a note to the 3 friends to let them know I’ll meet them for lunch/dinner but won’t be back to the group. Really annoying when one person ruins things for everyone else. I did once ask her to let me finish what I was saying, to minimal effect (and two people thanked me later). Anyway, another beautiful day her. DH and I are off to see an art show, and then I plan to go for a long walk this afternoon and probably work in the garden.

7/25 - 161
Does anyone else hit “done” instead of “post reply” on the iPad app? Gaaa! I hate when I do that!

7/26 - 161
DH’s birthday, so I’m taking him out for late lunch. I plan to have broiled fish and behave myself, although I’m also baking him a cake. I think I’ll invite people over for dessert! I also plan to start laying brick tri. Around my garden, so that should burn some calories.

7/27 - 161.8
Not a surprise with lunch out yesterday.

7/28 - 162
My bad. Cake and ice cream last night (extending DH’s birthday!) and a salty lunch and, other than cake baking, not a lot of exercise. Fun, though!

7/29 - 161
Lazy lovely day yesterday. Today I’m off to see what’s on sale at one of my fav nurseries, then working in the garden before rain. Have a good week, all.

7/30 - 161.4
I confess, I helped polish off the German chocolate cake I made for DH's bd. But now it's gone....

7/31 - 161
OK, I have clearly settled in at this weight. I'm determined, though, to drop some of it, so new plan starting tomorrow. OTOH, I'm SO much healthier than this time last year, so there's that. See you in R85.

Round 84 Goals:
- My son turns 2 at the end of the week! The party is done, but we'll still be doing some celebrating this weekend, so I'll still be a little flexible on the end of the round goal. But I'd like to be focused and eat well on the week days.
- I saw 145.xx on the scale last round - I'd love to see it again! My pre-pregnancy weight was 145ish, so it's really exciting to be back to seeing these numbers.
- Keep up daytime water (3 tumblers), workouts (3x per week), and add in some walking (either during lunch or after work with the kiddo/dog).

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 - 148.4 Went to a mimosa brunch with family yesterday and indulged a bit too much! Feeling very bloated and dehydrated and SORE from a weight lifting class back on Friday, so hopefully some good choices today will get me back on the right path.
07/23 - 148.8 Ah that's never fun to see an increase after a day where everything went right! Yesterday I stuck to my food, water, and had a great kickboxing workout. But I'm trusting the process and keeping the course today, hoping that my body just needs another day to sort itself out from the weekend.
07/24 -147.6 That feels good to see a number moving down again! Once I left work, it was pouring raining, so we weren't able to get an evening walk in. Instead I brought my son to Trader Joe's, and we shopped for some groceries (since I didn't do a big run at the beginning of the week) and honestly wrangling a toddler around a store probably burns more calories than just walking anyway! We made tacos for dinner, which I supplemented with some roasted broccoli and cauliflower, and it was really good for a last minute thrown together meal! And I got supplies to make a nice healthy dinner tonight too! The weather is actually nice after all that rain, so we're planning to take advantage of that and go enjoy some time outside this evening.
07/25 - 147.0 Ah, very happy with this one! Yesterday, I went out with a coworker friend for lunch, which used to be my undoing. I would eat so much while catching up! So we picked a place where I could track my meal, and I only ate half of it because it was big, and I skipped snacks in the afternoon. After work, I took a walk around the neighborhood. It was only half an hour, but it got us out of the house and moving a little.
And then dinner was a nice and healthy but still delicious (and really quick and easy and basically all from Trader Joe's): pesto-marinated chicken breasts cooked on the grill with a bunch of grape tomatoes, some couscous, and my faaave griddled halloumi cheese! It's for foods like these that I really love love calorie counting...I was able to weigh the cheese out and a have a reasonable amount that fit within my goals as part of my dinner. I didn't pass it up in the store because I'm on a "diet," and I didn't allow myself to eat the whole thing because I love it and it just came back in season at TJs. I had just enough to satisfy and still see a drop the next day! Back to the gym tonight!
07/26 - 145.8 Today was my son’s birthday! I gave birth two years ago (and checked into the hospital weighing 205 pounds), and I can proudly say I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight! We had a very fun day including a homemade cake and a dinner out, so the scale might reflect that in the morning, but it’s nothing I can’t deal with!
07/27 - 147.4
07/28 - 148.6
07/29 - 149.2 busy busy weekend with several events that revolved around food, and the scale is showing it, but I'm back to making better choices today!
07/30 - 148.4 Yesterday's eating was on point, went to the gym for a great sweaty boxing session and I was rewarded with a nice little drop. Even though I have a good plan for today, I still don't think I'll see a big drop tomorrow to close out the round, but that's alright! I knew this would be a tough round and it's good to just come out without gaining any weight.

07/31 - 147.8 Happy to close out this round with a smidge of a loss, but a loss nonetheless. Yesterday I wanted to snack on everything and go get fast food for dinner, but fortunately I resisted the urge! As far as goals this round, I did focus well on eating on the weekdays, I saw a 145 on the scale again, and I kept up my workouts. Could have done better on the water and the walking. On to round 85!

7/31: 194.8 (-0.2) had a little chuckle when weight came in exactly same as start of round 84. I'm okay with this - was on vacation and managed not to gain any weight. Overall July loss is still good.

Total Loss Round 84: +0.0

Non-scale goals:
Continue to log food even through vacation next week. >> better again as I'm back to work

Increase daily water intake from 60oz to 80oz. >> still stuck at about 60 oz/day

Move more >> better but need more consistency

*Rolling right along. 4th round for me. This shared journey is undeniably rewarding, tracking our successes and challenges as we navigate the path to healthier versions of ourselves!!! Cheers to all playing in round 84! Yeah...lets keep on rolling right through the next 10 days.

Day/Weight/Comment:

7/22: 139.6 lbs - It is what it is. 2 weeks in the U.K., eating and drinking and not exercising much. I knew I would pay for it and I'm not going to dwell.

7/23: 139.0 lbs - off to a good start. Hoping it'll all come back off quickly.

7/24: 137.8 lbs - played pickleball yesterday for the first time in a couple weeks, a little sore today. Ate well, feeling good to be back in the swing of things and the scale loss is very nice to see. Starting my new daily goals today, hoping to see some quick returns. Otherwise, today is a rest day. I've got a pickleball tournament this weekend and don't want to overdo it after 2 weeks of nearly no exercise.

7/25: 137.8 lbs - still working through jet lag and pretty darn exhausted at the end of the day. Taught beginner pickleball class last night and played a couple games after, it was good to do a little running around. I met the water drinking goal and stretched but did not get the steps, push ups or crunches in. Baby steps.

7/26: 136.8 lbs - perhaps a false low because I barely ate yesterday. But it's nice to see. Managed to get all the water in, all the steps in and do the stretching and worked out for an hour or more. Didn't get the push ups or crunches in though. Today and tomorrow I'll be in a pickleball tournament (in 92 degree heat!), will definitely get my work out and steps done. Wish me luck!

7/27: 136.8 lbs - happy to see this for 2 days in a row, hoping it sticks. Day two of Pball tournament today, I got silver yesterday . Drank plenty of water, stretched, got the steps in, and did a few crunches and push ups. Almost there.

7/28: 135.6 lbs - Pretty sure this is due to 10 hours in the sun and being dehydrated. Got first place in my division though . We will see if this sticks.

7/29: DNW

7/30: 137.0 lbs - I'm ok with this. This was my round goal weight anyway. Still recovering from many hours of tournament play over the weekend. This morning is the first morning I don't feel dehydrated. Going to take today and tomorrow off though, dealing with persistent tennis elbow.

7/31: 136.8 lbs - met goal and then a little extra loss . Looking forward to the next one! Thank you, thank you for putting these together!!

@souschefsam trust me we all have those really bad rounds - just carry on logging, carry on with your plan and you will get there

Round 84 (my 16th)

OSW 382.0
RSW 307.6


07/22 307.2 The heat won yesterday and I barely got in 3500 steps. Most of those were after sunset. It’s much cooler today and will be for a few days so I’m looking forward to getting outside this week.

07/23 307.0 I got in a lot more walks yesterday and it was nice to get outside again. I can’t believe how much I used to fear/hate the thought of walks around the neighborhood.

07/24 306.2 That’s a nice drop. My nsv today is more loose pants! I pulled my jeans out this morning because it was a little cooler. They stayed on, but I was swimming in them. I remember putting extra stitches in the butt awhile back to make sure they didn’t split. Today though I said I think I could fit my daughter and me in these pants they’re so baggy.

07/25 305.6

07/26 308.2 My lack of proper sleep, pain, and just general blah won out last night. It happens to me every so often and oddly helps to re-motivate me. I’ll have this gain gone in no time as it’s all water.

07/27 307.6 Starting to go back down. I was on track with my calories, but I don’t think I drank enough water. I should see losses over the next several days and be to a new low soon. I finally got some new clothes that aren’t even a little bit loose or baggy. My husband is certain that if I give it a couple of months I’ll need new ones again. I don’t remember the last time I was in these sizes, but it’s been awhile.

07/28 306.0 Almost back down.

07/29 305.4 Yay, back down plus a little. I shouldn’t be surprised I’ve been on track with everything.

07/30 303.6 I’m a bit worried that this might be a false low because I was a little under the weather yesterday. I stayed on track with everything, but I won’t be surprised if I have a slight bounce back up. I’m also happy that my little binge the other day didn’t take me off track.

07/31 303.4 Yay, not a false low.

TRL: -4.2

I am back after 3 days in Venice, a 12 day mediterranean cruise, and 3 days in Barcelona.

07/30: 214.7 Up only 8.2lbs after my 18 day vacation. I enjoyed lots of tiramisu, gelato, wine, pasta, and French breads and I don't regret a thing. It will be interesting to see how much of it is water weight and how quickly it will drop. I know a lot of it is also bloating from eating items that I am sensistive to, but I'm ok with that. I did so much walking and really enjoyed myself. Even though my flight came in at 11:30 last night I already worked out with my trainer this morning. My goal is to just get back into the routine of things. I have a bunch of errands to do today. I'm not going back to work until Thursday, so hopefully by then I will have gotten over most of the jet lag.
07/31 214.7 The jet lag is real. Woke up at 1 this morning and did not get back to sleep until 6. I am so tired and sore from my workout yesterday. Today I'm going out for a walk and then going for a massage and then just relaxing for the rest of the day. I think I will take a nap early this morning so as not to mess up my sleep cycle for tonight. Working on making sure that I get my water in.

07/22: 223.0 What?? I knew I ate some things I shouldn't have, but my word! I never thought the scales would be up this much since yesterday, which was 220.6 😢🤔

07/23: 223.8 I'm really confused and getting frustrated. Walked a total of 5.27 miles yesterday and did pretty good on my consumed calories. Any suggestions would sure be appreciated.

07/24: 221.7 Walked about 4.5 miles yesterday. Was better about what I ate. I'm sure a lot of this is water loss, but I'll take it!

07/25: 222.4 Didn't do as well with my eating yesterday as I had planned.
07/26: 222.4 ☹
07/27: 222.6

07/30: 223.1 I have no words...
07/31: 222.3 A loss of 0.7 lbs. I guess that's better than a gain, but I sure wish it would have been more. On to the next round!
