11/18 …..185.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/19 …..185.8 ….. A very good day yesterday. I was hoping for another drop on the scale but it maintained. Got to this weight on a whoosh so I guess I have to let it get comfortable before it moves down again. Yesterday’s stats: 1004 Calories In / 2780 Calories Out. 40 Net Carbs. 21,201 Total Steps & 8.97 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 12 minutes. I walked at 3.25 mph for 97 minutes doing school-hall walking and I walked for 32 minutes at 3.0 mph with a planned walk around my property. Total extra calorie burn 750. I prep cooked yesterday a bit. I have invited my cousin & his son over for a Mexican dinner tonight. I will be mindful. Good luck everyone on this round. The progress I am seeing from all of you is phenomenal!

11/20 …..184.6 ….. I am thrilled with the scale reading but feeling a bit guilty about it and feeling, also, that I don’t deserve to be rewarded for bad behavior. Made a nice Mexican dinner for my visiting family (hunting season) and ate handfuls of those chocolate tipped candy corn I had on the table for them while I was cooking. I ended up with a teeny tiny dinner to make up for it. Thankfully, all the protein in chicken quesadillas and ground beef & bean tostadas have lots of protein so at least I wasn’t hungry when I went to sleep! I won’t do that again anytime soon, though. It skewed my general low carb plan but the calories were okay. Yesterday’s stats: 1153 Calories In / 2829 Calories Out. 133 Carbs (ouch!). 19,172 Total Steps & 8.11 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours (due to dinner guests) and I slept 4 hours & 25 minutes waking up refreshed. I walked at 3.5 mph for 101 minutes at the school, and I walked 32 minutes at 3.0 at home for a total of 809 extra burned calories. Better choices today is what is on the menu! I’m thankful to God for shining down on my scale.

11/19 113.6, BF% 27.1 Starting to recover from the weekend bump! Good strength workout + cardio today, but sore from squats and bench press so hopefully DOMS doesn’t drive the numbers up!. Calories/macros on target. NSV - made chicken Banh Mi sandwiches for dinner with pickled vegetables. Nice to be able to enjoy Trader Joe’s ciabatta rolls on the strength days with extra calories!

11/20 112.6, BF% 26.9 Yeah!!!! Back to low from last round! Hopefully can hang out around here the rest of the challenge. Although with Indian food for lunch today, might see a bump tomorrow lol! (Happy Scale trend has weight in 113's still so expect fluctuations!) Lighter cardio after work today.

@quiltingjaine I actually love walking alone, it's my own time. The BF hates that I walk alone on isolated trails but with my job going back and forth I don't have a set schedule and have to get my walks in when I can. I have thought about pepper spray or something. This time I scared myself - maybe that's a good thing.

@_JeffreyD_ Festival of Sodium 😂😂😂

Hi all! I gained 20 lbs between December and May. I've come down 10 but I have goals I have yet to meet over the last 4 years. I would like to be at least under 200. Currently I'm 230 down from 241. If I weigh myself everyday, I'll give up. Tried that before but I can list little wins!

11/19 123 Happy with today’s weight, had a great day both yesterday and today.
11/20 123.2 It’s always hard to see the scale go up even a little bit. I had a big drop of weight the day prior so overall I am going down.

Last day of this round is Thanksgiving morning. Looking to get back into the 130's and see 138.xx before Thanksgiving, maybe!


11/19 - 142.0
11/20 - 142.0 Sorry I haven't been around. My life took a crazy turn last Friday and I am barely getting it together today. I finished out the last round yesterday and just barely caught up on every bodies progress in round 95 today. I did weigh everyday just never could get time to post. My 18 year old son totaled his car on the freeway on Friday. 2 cars hit him and neither one of them stopped. He is fine, not even a scratch on him, so that is the most important thing. We are now looking for a new car for him and trying to get the insurance and everything settled. On top of all that I woke up Sunday with a lot of pain going down the right side of my body and ended up in urgent care. I had that same rash back now for the 3rd time this year. The first time in April my Dr told me it was a spider bite, the 2nd time in July she told me it was a staph infection, this weekend I was told it was shingles. So for almost a year I have been dealing with this stuff coming and going and it has been shingles the whole time. I had to start the anti-viral meds today and hopefully this will be the end of it. So my weight is up about 2 pounds from last Friday, but I think it's due to stress, being sick, and new meds. Hopefully it will be back down in the next couple of days. Uggghh, I feel better now that I have ranted a little bit, lol.

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving Day in the UK. It's a new world thing. We do all our celebrating from Christmas Day to New Year's Day, so I still have a full month or more to drop down into the 140s, then I will eat at maintenance on Christmas Day and Boxing Day (25/26 Dec). I pre-log my food for both days and have very small portions of all my favourite festive goodies, then eat sparsely until New Year's Eve, when DH and I have a small celebration meal, and a glass or two of bubbly. This works reasonably well. I may go up a couple of lbs, but I will be all set to get rid of it quickly in the New Year.

I have set myself a new goal for 2019 and a new UGW. [/b]
Things are looking good for my revised 2019 goal. Happy Scale has shown a steady downward trend since the end of July, despite having one or two lapses last round. [/color]
