Day/Weight/Comment

9/20: 225.6 (-1.0)/19.1 (-0.1). This is a great start, particularly given that I was likely right at about maintenance in calories last night. Food quality was good, though. IT'S THE WEEKEND... and instead of going into it hopeful (and a little blind), I'm going to think through a plan. Right now. Gym tonight after work, basketball tomorrow... I don't think I can go to the gym on Sunday, because I'll be trying to fix my car with my dad and doing a couple of things to continue to make my house liveable. Dinner tonight should be light/easy; maybe a lettuce wrap from Cook's Tortas. I'm not sure about tomorrow night (what's happening), but it will probably involve more housework stuff (and, annoyingly, cleaning everything because my parents are coming over on Sunday). Sunday my parents will be here, and my wife wants to go wine-tasting with them. I can focus on reds while I'm there, and I'll try to budget some calories for that. Dinner is almost always the problem. I need to track all day, have my "budget" before I eat, and figure out how the heck to stay within that budget. Work is feeling better; rather than feeling so overwhelmed, I have a bit of a plan, and I'm getting support from my supervisor/management team.

9/21: 223.6 (-2.0)/18.9 (-0.2). So far, so good. Stuck to my plan yesterday. Went with a lettuce wrap instead of bread. Lifted weights and did some HIIT on the elliptical. Basketball is happening this morning, then doing some painting/housework in the afternoon. I'm not sure what's happening for dinner, but I'm feeling focused.

9/22: 223.4 (-0.2)/18.9 (0.0). Basketball yesterday was better than it was a couple of weeks before. My shot was a little off, but I was able to move around better than I could two weeks ago. I finished painting another one of the bedrooms in my house as well. Dinner was slightly out of control, but I'm pretty sure I stayed well within calories (ate back maybe half of my exercise calories). Still feeling focused. My wife and I are eating at home tonight, so I'm expecting my weigh-in tomorrow to be... well... super boring

9/23: 225.0 (+1.6)/19.0 (+0.1). I got a little bit squirrelly last night with dinner (and after); it was more about quality (carb-heavy) than quantity. I'm also recognizing the need for a food scale (my old one broke a long time ago), especially when it's difficult to determine the number of servings in whatever I might be making (and that is fixed in a couple of mouse-clicks). I lifted weights in the morning and had a generally very busy day. I'm not feeling discouraged at all. From Friday morning to Monday morning I actually dropped 0.6 lbs, even with the big gain this morning. I think I have my routine at the gym as well - weights only on Friday and Sunday, weights and HIIT on Wednesdays, and basketball on Saturdays. If I'm feeling particularly good on a Sunday I'll do cardio, but basketball is pretty intense, and I'm often very sore after.

9/20: 202.3 I ate late, consumed a lot of sodium and tom. I definitely came in under my calorie goal and took 8000 steps (which is great for me lol) ;D
9/21: 199.5 OMG! OMG! OMG! I was wondering how the eff this happened and it came to me. Yesterday I ate McDonald's for lunch, skipped dinner and had a snack of (lots of) chocolate chips and milk lol. I've been eating high sodium forever and I finally had a low sodium day yesterday so I think I finally ditched the water! PLEASE BE REAL! ;D
9/22: 200 ughhhh! Lol it was too good to be true! Oh well! I killed it at the gym today so it's going away again real soon. Going out for dinner today sooo might go up again tomorrow.
9/23: 199.7 Okaaay I guess it was real after all. YESSS! My workout prevented me from overeating at dinner last night so I'm feeling really good. I actually had an amazing food weekend!

09/20- 206: Woohoo! So thankful to be going down! I had a dentist apt yesterday for a filling and my teeth are still sensitive to everything, so we will see how that goes. I will be going to Greek Fest tonight and hopefully the LA Fair tomorrow with my boyfriend. I'm getting pretty good at being good, just hope I don't mess up.
09/21- 206
09/22- DNW

09/23- 208.2: Yeah I messed up. My weight stayed the same for Saturday which was great and then that day I went to my boyfriends. Didn't really eat much or anything bad and even had a healthy meal at his house. We went to the fair that night and I had a beer, some wine, and a couple small fried things. The following day at his house I had a healthy breakfast and we did a lot of walking. I might have messed up during dinner at my house last night. I'm so mad because I eat healthy all week and really push myself, but as soon as it's the weekend it turns into cheat days and "it's ok you've been working so hard." No! I want to stop doing that. I'm sick of working hard all week and then gaining it all back over the weekend. I'm more than my starting weight for this round and I really feel so defeated when this happens. Think I just have to cut back on going out or feeling pressured into having foods I shouldn't

09/21 140.2 Hosted a lovely pool party/dinner last evening. Good thing I worked out a little extra, as I enjoyed a huge plate of awesome and healthy food. Baked chicken, roasted beets with herbs from our garden, mashed potatoes, curried vegies, salad, figs from our tree, pico gallo Nica style.
09/22 141.2 watched some surfing this afternoon, then into town for lobster, red snapper filet, and garlic shrimp, with some salad, and a wee bit of the rice.

Day/Weight/Comment

09/20 120.8 Starting off like last round with a 1.1 lb drop at the start! Whooshes like this tend to be followed by bumps up, plateaus, and then drops as weight stabilizes, so hope that it stabilizes soon! Weight day (deadlift, lunges, push-ups, inverted rows, and planks with cable rows) + 30 minute spin class, so won’t be surprised with water retention tomorrow. Feel like I wrote this 10 days ago too :-) Going for sushi/sashimi today and hopefully with pre-planning today it is IIFYM! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

09/21 120.8 No hugs needed! I am thrilled that my weight is the same as yesterday! My usual pattern with JGM10D over the last several rounds is to have a whoosh the first day, then a 1+ lb gain the next day, a plateau for several days, then small drops to end up a little bit below the first day. Holding the drop the first day is fantastic!!!! Xtrain (spin + HIIT) for cardio today; otherwise rest. Calories good so far! 10.8 lbs to goal!

09/22 120.4 Yeah!!! Holding the whoosh so far! Xtrain this morning - got new gym shoes yesterdays which felt great for the non-cycle part of class! Feel the beginning of a mild cold coming on, so going to take it easy the rest of the day. Live littleneck clams and local garlic, so having clams and linguine for dinner tonight. (cheat day for carbs) Should still be IIFYM with preplanning. May actually make STG this round!

09/23 119.8 Woohoo!!!! Made STG of 120.0. And my lowest weight in the last 13+ years. Less than 10s to goal!!! (of course expect this may bounce up tomorrow as today is strength day, but the ups will even out!) After previous diets that restricted calories or carbs, nice to be able to fit in avocado toast and linguine IIFYM and still lose weight.

As you can see the last 5 rounds have been horrible for me. I have had family issues, birthdays, TOM, and all 5 of my kids in 5 different schools getting back into routines the last couple of rounds. This will be the first round we haven't had to go out of town, deal with some crazy situation, or worry about what is going to happen tomorrow. We have finally calmed down a bit and I am ready to start on the last 6-7 pounds. I would like to drop my 10 day average by 2 pounds and see 142, maybe even 141 a couple of times on the scale. Good luck everyone!

Round 85: 143.7 - 139.6 down 4.1 Avg 142.35
Round 86: 139.6 - 148.2 up 8.6 Avg 144.08
Round 87: 148.2 - 143.6 down 4.6 Avg 143.73
Round 88: 143.6 - 147.0 up 3.4 Avg 145.84
Round 89: 147.0 - 143.7 down 3.3 Avg 144.99


09/20 - 142.8 nice drop to start the new round. I am officially back to where I was in round 85 before my 4 round diet break. So I’m happy with my progress and I know that I can do maintenance once I get down to where I need to be.

09/21 - 143.7 good day, jumped up because of the sodium and carbs I am sure. We took out youngest to her favorite restaurant for a surprise birthday dinner. Chinese is always filled with a couple of extra carbs than what I would normally eat. I tried to stay away from the fried rice and had grilled shrimp instead of the other meats, but I did have 2 beers.

09/22 -143.7 The birthday party was a success, but drank a little to much in celebration. Food was on point and didn't over do it at all. Will see a jump up tomorrow because of the liquor I am sure.

09/23 -145.4 way lower than the last couple of Monday's and new I would have a jump up due to my alcohol intake in Saturday. It always hits me 2 days later. Water and clean eating today. Looking forward to having some good drops this round and getting back to where I was.

I have an appointment on Oct 3rd with a knee specialist. I need to see a sleep specialist also because I know I have sleep apnea and it is rearing its ugly head again. My therapist came back from maternity leave and we had a good session last Tuesday and I have been doing better ever since. Still doing WW. Was up 10.8 pounds with them and decided to just start the ticker over with them. My PCP prescribe something for me that is stomach and liver friendly that seems to be helping my knees. I hope you all are still rocking things. It is end of month which starts getting hectic for me tomorrow, but I am determined not to drop the ball on ME. I know I may not make goal weight of 389 but at this point I will be happy with losing 4 pounds

Day/Weight/Comment
09/19 …..195.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

09/20 …..193.2 ….. A water release drop after travel which is always welcomed. 2.4 more pounds to go to get to my lowest weight last round. Tonight is a social gathering at the local fish fry. Also there will be two days of individual travel next week which I so wish I could put off, but can’t. I am already worried about this round but will make every day I possibly can COUNT! Yesterday’s stats: 1249 Calories In / 2596 Calories burned. 20 Net Carbs. 14,589 Total Steps & 6.17 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 52 minutes and needed every drop of it. I wanted to go hiking on a beautiful Michigan fall day but customer service here at the cabins prevented me from going too far. I fit in a 53 minute walk in my neighborhood trying to pick up extra speed. Extra calorie burn 366. Good luck everyone on your personal goals this round! Each & every one of you inspire me!

09/21 …..193.0 ….. Tackling the water gain head on! But TMI potty would really help! Yesterday’s stats: 1439 Calories In / 3056 Calories Out. 37 Net Carbs. 21,403 Total steps & 9.03 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 21 minutes. I walked at moderate pace for 39 minutes, I did low-impact aerobics for 22 minutes and I rigorously cleaned tourist cabins for 53 minutes. Total extra calorie burn was 835.

09/22 …..193.0 ….. Still waiting for TMI. Yesterday was an active day. Stats: 1576 Calories In / 2957 Calories Out. 43 Net Carbs. 18,111 Total Steps & 7.66 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 4 hours & 8 minutes. I hiked on hilly terrain by the river for 45 minutes, I walked for 35 minutes later in the evening at a moderate pace in my neighborhood and I did yard work for 37 minutes. Total extra calorie burn was 715. I had a severe glucose drop yesterday but I resisted the urge to “shovel everything in sight” in (which is the instinct). I ate a couple of rolls of smarties and trusted it would come back up in a few minutes and it did. It raised my carbs more than I’d planned, but was way better that it could have been had I panicked. Weight holding. Hoping for another drop soon.

09/23 …..193.0 ….. I had a PCP doctor appointment today. I was hoping for another pound (or more off) but scale stuck on 193 (for now). Yesterday’s stats: 1470 In / 3034 Calories Out. 47 Net Carbs. 19,152 Total Steps & 8.1 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 47 minutes waking up tired. Sunday is cabin cleaning day. I took a short 13 minute walk around property and I rigorously cleaned tourist cabins for 168 minutes. Total extra calorie burn 916.

9/20--208.5 Lazy day yesterday. Ate some snacks when I really wasn't hungry. Gym tonight.
9/21--207.4 Weighed twice to make sure, I weighed in about 2 hours later than normal. Did not go to the gym yesterday because I was so exhausted. Going out with a friend today to a food allergy fair and then going out to eat.
9/22--208.1 The food allergy fair was great yesterday there were a lot of foods to try out and I found a couple of new foods to eat. Did a lot of walking yesterday and hardly drank any water. Strength coach today.
9/23--208.5 Uptick is definitely from all of the foods I tried at the fair 2 days ago. It also didn't help that I did some extra snacking yesterday. Great workout yesterday.

First round for me! 34 year old female, lots of weight to lose but perhaps not as much motivation as I need. Hopeful this will help! Only participating for nine days - would love to lose half a stone (7lbs) but would also like the moon on a stick!

09/23 - 19st 4lbs (-2.3lb) Did week 4 run 3 of couch to 5k today, and somehow racked up over 23,000 steps on my pedometer. Certainly am moving more these days!
09/24 - 19st 2.8lbs (-1.2lb) Tough day of toddler groups and biscuits to avoid ahead! Fingers crossed for rock hard willpower.

I'm in. This is my third round. Delighted with 2.5 loss in round 89. Aiming to get more daily weights in the 130's... be great to see the back of the 140's. I am going to Florida in 6 weeks time - my niece is getting married in Key West so I'm aiming for 1lb a week till then.


Starting Weight: 140.25

20th Sept 140.5. Late piloxing class followed by late pasta. 16k steps. Yesterday was a good day.
21st Sept. 140.25. Good day yesterday. Stayed within calories. Piloxing class.
22nd Sept. 141.0. Good day yesterday. Hit steps and stayed within calories
23rd Sept: 143.0. Was expecting this. Very poor mental health day yesterday. Didn't get washed or dressed. Stayed at home in and out of bed all day. Made brownies with my son. Ate tonnes of food. I mean , LOTS. Felt sick. Today is a new day and I feel a lot better. Lashing down the water. Aiming to get back to normal weight by Wednesday.
24th Sept: 143.5. A big jump up considering I stayed within calories yesterday and got in all my steps. However......chocolate rocky road did make up 600 of my calories PLUS I haven't gone to the toilet in 6 days and I feel so backed up and bloated. I am drinking approx. 3 litres of water every day, but obviously not enough fibre. Piloxing class tonight.

09/19 159.6 round start weight
09/20 158.2 (-1.4) 9685 steps. Some of the weight gain from the dinner dropping off which is good to see, there’s still quiet a bit to go yet. I did good with the food aspect yesterday and I was under cal. I also drank all the water and I feel much better for it. Net enough sleep but that’s what the weekend is for
09/21 157.6 (-0.6) - 17.075 steps + 3km run/walk
09/22 157.6 (-0.0) - 9.125 steps Badminton 1h
09/23 157.6 (-0.0) 15,949 steps - 5km run/walk. The weekend was so busy I didn’t even switch on my computer so I haven’t posted since Friday 😊. It was a good weekend with healthy activities Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday which compensated for the usual extra calorie weekends! I’ve started taking my daughter on runs with me and she really enjoys it. Also we tried a parent/child introduction to badminton and we’ve decided to sign up. It was really good fun for both of us and a good way to get us moving on Saturday mornings. Today won’t be very active unfortunately as I have a team building event for the office, but at least it’ll be fun !

09/24 157.6 (0.0) 4658 steps, I’m glad I stayed at the same weight as I expected a gain today, yesterday we had a team building event which was great (flight simulator) and there were lots of things to snack on etc. I’m so tired I’m going to try not to start nibbling as that’s always what I end up doing when I’m tired. Normally I’m going for a run this evening. or rather yes I’m going running! there said it!

09/22 79.9kg I ate a lot of salty snacks and ice cream yesterday. I am kind of surprised that the numbers aren’t higher.
09/23 81.1kg Yepp! Now it is showing. There’s a lot of school-related stress right now so there is some stress eating and a lot bloat. It will be over in a few days though.
09/24 81.6kg So much stress eating and so much bloat! But now I am done with most of my assignment so I can get back to my routine of counting calories and exercising again
