Day/ Weight/ Comment
08/31: 206.8 same as yesterday but I'm okay with that! Hopefully this round will be as successful as the last!
09/01: 206.8 day 3 of the same weight! I am definitely not complaining considering it's a long weekend here in Canada and weekends aren't usually the best for my eating habits. I do try and stick within my maintenance calories at the very least but I'm doing pretty well so far this weekend Usually I would've gained a couple of lbs in water today lol.
09/02: 206.5 I still can't believe I haven't had any water gains. I stayed within my calorie goals yesterday but my calorie goal is set at 1670; I usually try to stay around 1400 per day during the week. I'm going to kill it this week (after today) haha!
09/03: 206.5 I don't think my weight has ever been this consistent lol. I'm hoping for a decent loss tomorrow ;D I ate McDonald's yesterday and still managed to stay well within my calorie goal.
09/04: 205.3 Wooooohoo! Gotta keep 'em coming off! 5 more days to hit my goal 💪
09/05: 205.3 Again with the consistency! Lol. 1.3lbs to go to reach my goal for the round!
09/06: 205.3 Again!!! This has to be water weight. I had 2 days of Subway in a row lol.
09/07: 204 Yaaaasss! I knew it was just water. I've hit my goal for my round!! Now to exceed it! Or at least keep it off
09/08: 205.2 REALLY?! Lol this was really hard to log. I know its lies but still not s very good feeling. I was really hoping to reach my goal this round. Guess we will see what tomorrow holds!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31: 197.8 (+/- 0) I didn’t think yesterday was horrible but I guess it wasn’t great. Weighed in today after my light breakfast. But not gaining is ok by me. Guess I’ll make this a 9 day challenge.
9/1: 199.0 (+1.2) well this challenge isn’t working so much so far. I did good all day yesterday. Even went to a wedding and didn’t eat. Ate McDonalds late but only half the food. Still early. Still hopeful
9/2: 198.2 (-.8) not to bad. Had a good workout yesterday. But ate a lot of junk food in small quantity. Mostly because I had a late lunch/ early dinner and was getting hungry. As long as it’s going down. Hopefully I can get back to my starting weight
9/3: 197.6 (-.6) yesterday wasn’t great but wasn’t horrible. Today is my daughters birthday and she’s requesting carb overload for birthday dinner. I’ll try to control myself. But sometimes there has to be risk to get a reward.
9/4: 198.0 (+.4) not to bad for celebrating my youngest daughters birthday with carb overload. I did my best to have portion control. But I also hadn’t eaten most of the day knowing most my calories would be going to dinner. Plus also haven’t slept much the past few days. Going to hit the gym and hope I can work it off.
9/5: 198.4 (+.4) guess working out and eating good only lasts for so long. Seems whenever I get to a low and maintain what I’ve been doing my body decides to gain. I’ve had this problem for a long time. It’s starting to look like I’ll never get where I wish to be. And it’s not just muscle gaining from weight training. Just like my life in general. When I start to see some good light darkness quickly takes over.
9/6: 198.0 (-.4) weighed in kind of late today. Didn’t have much motivation or drive to do it this morning. But I did. No matter the results I will stick through it. And with the help of a few people I will stay positive and keep pushing towards my goal no matter how long it takes. The best results are in the mirror not the scale. And I just have to remind myself of that daily. One day at a time with my accountability partners I’ll get there. Thanks! (They know who they are)
9/7: 197.8 (-.2) had an earlier weigh in than normal today. But a busy day/weekend ahead of me. Hoping I can stay on track or as close as possible.
9/8: 197.4 (-.4) guess I’m on the down hill part of that roller coaster. Spent the day at Disneyland yesterday. Didn’t eat great but didn’t eat a lot. Today will be a different story as I head to the colts game! But I’ll do my best. So I’ll wait till Tuesday ish to see the real results of my weekend

So I am going to be out of town for the first 3 days of this round to attend my FIL's services. I am not going to have a lot of control over my food choices seeing as I will be eating what my husband's family will be serving and probably a lot of restaurant food. This round I am sure is just going to be another maintenance round for me, which I am fine with. If it takes me losing a pound or two a month until the end of the year to finally reach my goal I am fine with that.
8/31 - no scale out of town
9/1 - no scale out of town
9/2 - no scale out of town
9/3 - 148.7 didn't post yesterday, but did weigh.
9/4 - 146.7 going back down to my normal weight. Should be well under 145 by tomorrow. Was a very stressful weekend, it's so weird how death affects everybody differently. We actually had some lady show up to the services saying she had a will and wanted everything my FIL owned (which by the way isn't a lot,lol). It was so weird and over the top, never expected anything like that. I am just glad to be home and back to some kind of "normal" routine. We had to go grocery shopping after work last night as we had nothing to even cook dinner with. I also had 3 loads of laundry that needed to be done and had to help the 2 youngest finish unpacking. To say the that I am exhausted is a complete under statement. I put a pot roast on for tonight and am planning on picking up a red-box and doing nothing but relaxing. I am working on my water, but other than that my motivation is not great. I'm trying, but half heartily right now and I am ok with that. Glad to be back and just have some accountability at this point.
9/5 - 145.1 And we continue the water/sodium/stress loss. Maybe I will be back to my pre-4 day trip out of town weight tomorrow (143.6). I have just been working on water intake and eating at home since I have been back. I have not eaten at a deficit once and don't really plan on doing it till probably the next round. Tomorrow starts my birthday weekend and after the last couple of weeks I just need to have a little fun and relax. So far I have been able to maintain even with my crazy spikes between 142-144 for the last couple of weeks as long as I drink my water and don't go crazy with eating out.
9/6 - 145.1 Was really expecting to be lower, but am ok with being here. I am still on my diet break and am just trying to work on maintaining at this point. I am only about 10 pounds away from my ultimate goal right now, but have zero motivation. So I am hoping after this little break and after my birthday I will get it back and be able to get rid of these last couple vanity pounds that I still have. I am still eating low calorie dinners and lunches, drinking plenty of water, and watching my snacks. My breakfast is the only thing I have upped in calories, but not by much and my carbs have been higher.
9/7 - 143.8 this is where I thought I would have been yesterday. I’m trying to work on maintenance right now, so hopefully I keep it together this weekend.
9/8 - 144.5 did ok yesterday. Did a ton of housework, laundry, and running errands. Probably a little low on water, but food was ok. I could have made some better decisions, but way better than I have been doing. We will see how my Sunday plays out.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 134.8 - 8.67 miles walked yesterday & a much better day food wise; stayed within calories, could have done with less carbs, but it's an improvement on the first part of the week!! Human nature wants a drop, but can't expect to undo 4 days sabotage with one healthy day! Determined to stay within healthy eating today. 10 days to my holidays .
09/01 133.4 - 12.83 miles walked and 99 flights of stairs yesterday, a good food day; all macros in green. Not really that amazing that when a healthy eating plan is followed the results show through! I am thrilled by the number this morning; I feel good, energised and positive.
09/02 133.2 – 7.94 miles walked yesterday. Stayed within macros, thrilled to see results on scales !
09/03 132.0 – wow!! 1.2 llbs down; didn't expect a big drop, but loving it!! 8.88 miles walked yesterday & all macros in green again.
09/04 132.8 – not surprised at this gain given yesterdays big whoosh so it's ok. 9.63 miles walked & under calorie goal.
09/05 132.8 – 8.96 miles walked yesterday plus 60 mins yoga. Afternoon tea yesterday for BF birthday treat, but took it as my lunch and kept evening meal low calorie & low carb so still under CICO.
09/06 133.2 – 5.72 miles walked mostly pushing grandson's pushchair. Calories under goal, carbs could have been better – maybe the reason for the increase? Who knows!!
09/07 133.2 - 8.12 miles walked yesterday, under calories, but carbs could have been better!
09/08 132.8 – Just over 6 miles only walked yesterday – had my lovely toddler DGS for the day & later my DD cooked us a tasty curry with naan bread, samosa & onion bhargee.

08/31: 309.8 lbs (+0.1) … /shrug
09/01: 306.2 lbs (-3.6) … sweet, sweet uptick recovery. New low… with this weight I’ve now lost 80 lbs! Completed Couch to 5k Week 3 Day 2 this morning.
09/02: 305.9 lbs (-0.3) … it’s been a good 3 day weekend!
09/03: 305.8 lbs (-0.1) … I’m glad to see that these weigh ins aren’t a fluke! Completed Couch to 5k Week 3 Day 3 this morning.
09/04: 308.1 lbs (+2.3) … upticks happen, but I’m glad that I’m still under my round starting weight by a decent amount.
09/05: 307.5 lbs (-0.6) … bit better today. It would have been lower if I hadn’t ate closer to maintenance yesterday. Had a huge appetite for some reason.
09/06: 306.2 lbs (-1.3) … more uptick recovery. I’ve been eating more than usual for the past two days due to an increased appetite. Wednesday was still below budget when accounting for exercise calories and yesterday was a bit over budget. Glad to see that it’s not negatively affecting my morning weigh ins. Completed Couch to 5k Week 4 Day 1 this morning. Jogging intervals were pushed to alternating 3 minutes / 5 minutes, and I certainly felt those longer intervals in my legs.
09/07: 306.8 lbs (+0.6) … ate a bigger dinner last night, that’s likely all this is. Hopefully it’ll drop tomorrow a bit.
09/08: 306.4 lbs (-0.4) … kind of hovering around the same weight now, which is fine. Completed Couch to 5k Week 4 Day 2 this morning. Still very tiring. I may end up needing to repeat a day before W5D3’s 20 minutes of jogging with no walking. We’ll see how the rest of this week goes.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Round 88 GW: 198
GW: 140
08/31: 203.4(This is my first round. As long as I’ve had MFP on my phone, this is my first week speaking in forums. I’ve been tracking this time for almost a week. Squats and walking 3 miles each day for 10 days. I’ll find my rhythm soon.
09/01: 201.8 I’m not sure what I did to lose. I went over calories by 85 calories and I didn’t walk my 3 miles yesterday. I did get on the elliptical for 20 minutes but nothing intense. I believe I’ve been building muscle walking on incline and doing squats. Muscle does weigh more than fat so maybe after 11 days of walking/squats my body is finally showing me some results. I did start walking around the same time I started logging calories so I wasn’t seeing any movement or it would go down 2lbs for a day and then go back up 2 days later. I did watch my carbs yesterday and I drank 96 oz water.
09/02: 201
09/03: 203 I missed two days at the gym back-to-back. I couldn’t use my app for a couple of hours yesterday and by the time my phone was working again my calories took a hit. I finished my carb heavy/ calorie heavy brunch and didn’t realize the damage while I was enjoying my meal. No worries as I’m back on track with the walking and calorie tracking.
9/04: 203.6 I was able to get back on track and walk 3 miles yesterday. I stayed within calories but I did allow myself a small cheat as a snack. I’m not sure if the increase but I’m not too concerned. If I stick with trackinf it will pay off on the scale. Happy Tracking😊
09/05: 203.6 I didn’t drop but I didn’t gain. I tracked everything and walked my 3 miles. I may try to switch up my workout. I didn’t eat as much protein as I wanted yesterday but I tracked. I’m going to review and repeat meals for day 1 and 2 and see if that is the right mix for me. Good Luck everyone.
09/06: 203.4
09/07: 204.3 I had a cheat day yesterday. I’m on pain meds so that’s throwing my body off. I’m still going to track. I didn’t plan right for this challenge. I’ll stick with it until I reach the goal for this challenge. Better late than never.
09/08 203:7 Finally going in the correct direction again. I won’t make goal for tomorrow but I am learning what works for my body to lose. Tracking has helped with that.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 126.4 Well the 1.6 lb whoosh at the end of the round went right back up to previous weight so as usual have to wipe out the gain at the beginning before showing anything for the round - LOL. Dinner out the night before was heavy on sodium/carbs (although guesstimated calories were under), so may come back down after a day or so. Tried Xtrain today (20 min spin/tabata body weight exercises)!
09/01 126.4 Well at least it did not go up! Only 2.6 lbs away from Healthy BMI! patience, patience patience...
09/02 126.6 Up, but according to scale the gain is muscle and not body fat so will take this as a plus - LOL. Typical pattern after a whoosh - exercise has been great as well as calories so expect the upward pattern will break in the next day or so. Just to repeat again, but as long as the number of drops/amounts are more than the stalls/increases I will be making forward progress!
09/03 126.6 same. anyway another whoosh... pasta for dinner (aglio & olio with shrimp) with 2 servings of linguine (refeed/cheat day :-) but within macros. Tried foam rolling today for first time! Definitely adding that to my workout repertoire!
09/04 124.8 Back to weight at end of round so breaking even at this point. Spin class and then later this evening some ab work. Hopefully weight will stay around in the 124-125 range and not bounce back up in the 126's. Overall loss rate is still stable.
09/05 125.4 up, but typical, so not worried. NSV is that this is 5 pounds below what MFP or Pacer predicted for this day 5 weeks ago! (neither used exercise calories and I do not eat those back). Saw the nutritionist today and no tweaks to diet/exercise at this point so at current rate should reach goal weight in November and will retest BMR for maintenance plan. Good strength/cardio workout today followed by foam rolling and sauna so hope no DOMS and water retention tomorrow! Need to catch up on sleep - took an hour nap before dinner tonight so going to try to get to bed earlier tonight!
09/06 124.4 Yeah!!! new low! It is my third time to cross milestone 11 (125.0 lbs) on the Happy Scale app so really hoping that this time I stay below 125. - third time is the charm - no? Workout today Latin dance class before work and then a 30 minute spin class during lunch. Calories good for the day, but Fri/Sat are the days I allow wine with dinner/after (if within calorie budget - I split alcohol calories over carb/fat to be accountable) so hoping don't get a bump from that at tomorrow's weigh in. Challenge tomorrow will be that we are having friends over for dinner so will try to get to the gym for XTrain at 9:15 plus weights.
09/07 123.6 Happy Dance!!!! First time weight is below cut off for healthy BMI (25)! (Major STG reached!!!!) Did XTrain this am which may help to balance the dinner tonight with friends. Definitely over budget, but will treat as a refeed/cheat day! Most of meal was within macros, but made Dulce de Leche ice cream with salted macadamia nuts and had to try some! Life is too short to not enjoy treats now and then! Besides there is always the gym tomorrow or the next day. I have had ups, but usually quick to come back off as long as I keep up exercise. Body should definitely be refueled for Weights and Cycle tomorrow!
09/08 124.4 Well expected this :-) all within the realm of day-to-day variation with water fluctuations. Went to gym for XTrain at 9, and then followed up with the last workout in Strong Stage 1. Calories are good for the day so far and expect that I'll be back below BMI of 25 in the near future.

Ready for my round 25
OSW 88KG
RSW 63.4kg (-24.6 kg) or {- 54.2 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
08/31 64kg not sure why as I'm within my calories unless it's the exercise. I'm sure it will come off and I'm enjoying exercise. Was at work for the 1st day in 6 weeks yesterday and wearing clothes that fit... I got so many compliments!
09/01 64.5kg which is not good... For no reason.
09/02 63.0kg no idea what caused the random fluctuations recently but trend is down so that's good. Running this morning and gym tomorrow.
09/03 63.0kg. 45 mins at the gym before 6am! NSV I had to wear a small shirt for a work function yesterday rather than the XL I wore last year.
09/04 63.0kg. Late posting cos crazy busy! Ran this morning and gym planned for tomorrow
09/05 63.2 for no reason. Gym this morning.
09/06 63.1kg and everything on point. 2.5km run this morning at a crazy fast pace! Physio later to recover from all this exercise
09/07 62.5kg a new low! Now to keep it off for official weigh in tomorrow. Going to try to do yoga this morning.
09/08 62.6kg which is totally fine
09/09 62.6 kg which is not a problem as I ate just below maintenance.
Loss for this round 0.8kg {1.8lbs}

Good day. My son made brownies, which tested the no sweets rule, but I'm holding strong. This is a "rest" day for me, so walked.
Made a vegetarian curry for dinner and it was really really good. First time with that recipe. My husband who isn't always a fan on vegetarian meals also loved it.

Too much snacking yesterday, even a 45mins evening run didn't earn enough calories for dinner. Waiting for TOM might explain my sugar cravings during the day.
Uptick is probably a slightly uncontrolled the weekend showing.
I would like to say I'm ready to get back to healthy, but I'm not enjoying it very much. I don't think I'll ever stop wanting all the sweets. And then I think it's just a bit of vanity weight I want to get rid off - is it worth the logging and planning and restricting myself?

So my scale showed 71.4 first but that seemed too good to be true. I guess that's what TOM and TMI can do 😅

Okay, this is enough. Back to the grind and no more self pity and emotional eating. I know exactly what I'm doing wrong, but can't get my head into doing it right.
Next round: increase calorie limit, with the plan that I don't go over and then throw the towel for the day. And also so that I can check if I can do without eating all my exercise cals.
But there is also a posive: my running is getting better 😀

Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 134.8 - 8.67 miles walked yesterday & a much better day food wise; stayed within calories, could have done with less carbs, but it's an improvement on the first part of the week!! Human nature wants a drop, but can't expect to undo 4 days sabotage with one healthy day! Determined to stay within healthy eating today. 10 days to my holidays .
09/01 133.4 - 12.83 miles walked and 99 flights of stairs yesterday, a good food day; all macros in green. Not really that amazing that when a healthy eating plan is followed the results show through! I am thrilled by the number this morning; I feel good, energised and positive.
09/02 133.2 – 7.94 miles walked yesterday. Stayed within macros, thrilled to see results on scales !
09/03 132.0 – wow!! 1.2 llbs down; didn't expect a big drop, but loving it!! 8.88 miles walked yesterday & all macros in green again.
09/04 132.8 – not surprised at this gain given yesterdays big whoosh so it's ok. 9.63 miles walked & under calorie goal.
09/05 132.8 – 8.96 miles walked yesterday plus 60 mins yoga. Afternoon tea yesterday for BF birthday treat, but took it as my lunch and kept evening meal low calorie & low carb so still under CICO.
09/06 133.2 – 5.72 miles walked mostly pushing grandson's pushchair. Calories under goal, carbs could have been better – maybe the reason for the increase? Who knows!!
09/07 133.2 - 8.12 miles walked yesterday, under calories, but carbs could have been better!
09/08 132.8 – Just over 6 miles only walked yesterday – had my lovely toddler DGS for the day & later my DD cooked us a tasty curry with naan bread, samosa & onion bhargee.
09/09 132.8 – Happy to achieve a 2 pound drop this round just in time for my holiday tomorrow. A wonderful 15 miles walked yesterday up, over,down and then back up The Long Mynd; so exhilarating and so satisfying – loved it !!. All macros well in green – good day all round !
?�゚マᄐ?�゚マᄐ This is NOT A DIET. It’s a PERMANENT LIFESTYLE. ?�゚マᄐ?�゚マᄐ7 -
Hello everyone. Is it ok if I join? I read this post every single day, and its only dawned on me now to join in. I don't post much.
Anyway, I'm 40yo, from Ireland, with two boys, age 10 and 7. My starting weight was 168 and I am at 143 now. Goal weight 130 - 133.
31st Sept: 142.5. 4 mile run on Saturday morning. Took boys off for haircuts and last few bits before back to school. Stayed within calories.
1st Aug:142.5 Last day before school starts. Ate chips and sausages at amusement park and crisp sandwich before bed. 2 glasses of red wine. Enjoyed them.
2nd Aug: 142.5. Sons hurling training cancelled for tonight so I will get a run or a walk in with some of the dogs. Home made left over curry for lunch and shepherds pie for dinner.
3rd Aug: 141.75. Went for a 5 mile walk up the local forest with 2 of my dogs and my friend. we got so caught up chatting we took a wrong turn and got lost. Slight panic attack. The whippet was grand but the St. Bernard was shattered. We were sprinting trying to find our way out, it was pitch dark at this stage. 20,100 steps!! Plan for today, left over shepherds pie for lunch. Piloxing class tonight and son has a Gaelic match so not sure what to have for dinner yet. Have thin salt and pepper steak so maybe that with home made wedges and mushy peas.
4th Aug: 142.5. Late piloxing class last night followed by late scrambled eggs in toast. Was good on calories. Son has hurling training tonight so I'll head walking on the greenway with 2 of the dogs.
I'll have the steak and home made wedges for dinner tonight, didn't have them last night.
5th Aug: 142.25. 4 mile run last night. Enjoyed it. Had the home made wedges, steak and mushy peas for tea. My mam sent out red velvet cakes and jam and cream donuts. I had a sliver of red velvet and one bite of donut.
6th Aug: 141.75. Went to the cinema last night and managed to keep snacks to a minimum. I had one mint aero bar and one bag of tayto snax (I'm in Ireland). Diet club orange. Got home and had red onion relish and goats chees on sourdough bread for tea... all within calories. At the moment I am at the lowest weight in 3 years. really cant wait to see the 130's. Weekends are SO hard though, I have to make sure to plan ahead. Son has hurling match tonight and soccer match in the morning. Plan to run 5 miles in the morning to set myself up for the day.
7th Aug142.75.
8th Aug: 145.75. Had a bad day yesterday. Started off good but had my nephews 1st birthday and at cake, lots of cake. Then had wine, lots of wine.
9th Aug:145.25. Another bad day yesterday. TOM arrived but I cant blame that. Had more wine and stupid stuff I just shouldn't of eaten. Alcohol is my trigger. I cant even have one glass and I become a one woman eating machine. I'll spend this week clawing back to 141 pounds. I didn't have a drink in weeks and I can tell you now it'll be weeks before I have another one, Not worth undoing all my hard work.7 -

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
