    11th round for me. Last round ended in a gain, so hoping to rectify that this time around! Challenges this round include the start of the new semester and increase time demands!

    Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
    OSW: 177.1 lbs
    LTG: 110.0 lbs
    STG: 125 lbs pre-pregnancy weight
    MTG: 123.8 lbs Leave "Overweight" category and get into Healthy BMI range (<= 25)- last seen 6/2010

    Goals for 10 day Challenge:
    - loose 1.5 pounds

    Day/Weight/Comment
    08/21 128.8 Starting off in the right direction and below the ending weight from Round 85! Had a whoosh at the end of last round and worried that it would just bounce right back up at the start of this round. Yesterday was the first day of the first workout in the Strong workout program (an updated version of NROLW) so workout regime will be shifting this round. Bought a new scale with BF% etc so will be tracking that with increasing weight training. Interestingly both it and my old scale are in pretty close agreement (128.8 old vs 128.6 new) but higher than the Dr office scale today 127.8 (and at least 1 pound for clothing!) For consistency I am sticking with my scales. NSV: no longer pre-diabetic and LDL cholesterol dropped another 15%, down to 174; HDL-C increased to 101, while triglycerides dropped to 44 with exercise and diet changes! Dr no longer pushing statin! He expects since that it is responsive to current program it will drop further, so will check back in February, when I am hopefully in maintenance!
    BF% 31.9%; Body Water 46.7%; Muscle Mass 82.4lb; Bone Mass 5.2 lb BMR 1228

    08/22 127.5 Whoosh! getting back on track with long term trend line so just may recover for August! BMI is now in the 25's and 0.4 lbs away from the big 50! (hopefully this round :-) Met goal for round, but with whooshes and strength training days, I often see an increase the next day, so not counting any chickens until the end of the round!
    BF% 31.5%; Body Water 47.0%; Muscle mass 82.0 lb; Bone Mass 5.2 lb BMR 1223

    08/23 126.6 Whoosh number 2 ?!?! will take it while it lasts, but making up the gain from last round! The kids had a sleep over tonight so DH and I planned a nice dinner out (after 2 full days of a dept retreat which culminated with wine/cheese). Likely over calories for the day (gave up tracking carefully after a couple of glasses), but NSV was that I hit the 50 lbs lost mark today!!!! (may get to celebrate this again later in the round given tonight's calories but need to take time to celebrate the wins! Given that the last few days I was under goal for calories, a "zigzag" refeed may be helpful. In any case, will weigh in tomorrow and hit the gym as still have another 16.6 lbs to go!
    BF% 31.3%; Body water 47.1%; Muscle Mass 81.8lb; Bone Mass 5.2 lb; BMR 1222

    08/24 128.8 Well typical pattern of big drop(s) and then an increase so back to square one right now for the round. But big overnight gains are usually mostly water/food, so should average out over the round. (Just won't celebrate hitting the 50lb loss mark next time :-). Good work out at gym this morning - step class and then workout 1A from Strong. Will try to do some intervals before heading out to work reception this evening. Will try to be in more control of alcohol/food tonight to not have another bump tomorrow (one cheat day a week ideally), but otherwise it will be back to basics with logging and exercise for the rest of the week!
