01/04: 169.5 Yay! Out of the 170s, and determined to never be there again!!! Food wise everything was on track yesterday + plenty of water and no alcohol. I decided to make it a rest day and skip yoga as I had a lot of muscle aches from returning to working out. Was a good decision, feeling a lot looser today and ready to tackle another tough workout. It's dreary and raining with some icy sleet coming so plan to stay indoors most of the weekend and get all the Christmas decorations taken down and put away. Have a great weekend everyone!

Congratulations on seeing under 170.x !!

goal: sticking to my plan every day

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 83.4 kg wasn't hungry until evening, turned out as a OMAD kind of day.

12/30 83.1 kg happy that I seem to get back on track - and the cold is slowly going away too.
Started a food journal and also created related trackers in the bullet journal.

12/31 83,7 kg water weight obviously, I was well under my calories the day before. So it's okay with me. And I went to bed very late which was contributing to the gain probably as well.
---update in the night, New Years Eve:
I got invited to a great dinner in a fancy restaurant, so I restrained myself over the day and enjoyed the great meal in the evening even more. According to the stats I am still within the daily calories limit, even including the planned alcoholic beverages that I will drink in exactly 34 minutes:-)
Not too bad for a special day. Only (small) downside is that I am right now not in ketosis anymore most probably. But it will come back quickly. And maybe the carbs from tonight aren't not so bad for my body after all. As long as it is an exception. I even got in a walk of about an hour today, after a long time without exercise because of the cold (I still have). And I think I have found (finally) a solution for my old problem how to incorporate some traditional meals (high carb) into my eating habits without getting triggered anymore. I will test that idea tomorrow with an old favourite traditional food of mine. We'll see how it goes.
Okay, outside some early birds are starting their fireworks already, time to say the good ol' year goodbye. See you on the other side!
Happy New Year everyone!!

01/01 83,4 kg The idea of incorporating some of the unhealthy carby stuff - but in tiniest amounts - into my diet, worked. I took some precautions though so that I would later not give in an potential blood sugar spike and inhale the whole thing anyway.
I first threw away the bigger part of the unhealthy sugery bun, even poured some dish soap on top so that it was safe in the bin... It worked, there was a little spike but it was manageable with a little willpower. I also cooked another favourite meal, also in a ridiculous small portion. And it worked. I am quite happy about the outcome.
That way I can still enjoy food on the occasional holiday but it doesn't send me down the spiral anymore.
Oh, and I got an 1.5 hours walk in. Sun was shining, it was not too cold but crisp air. Nice. Calories intake was okay as well.

01/02 83,2 kg the occasional walk helps with my weight loss - I should remember this;)

01/03 84,1 kg most probably water weight. Yesterday I was over calories and also had more carbs, but nothing too crazy. The body obviously realized that I am not kidding and wanted some calories back...Still I am in a deficit for the last two days.

01/04 83,5 kg back to keto and did OMAD. I educated myself also about intermittent fasting and think for me that will be the way to go, combined with keto. Hopefully it will protect my metabolic rate as much as possible in the long run.

01/05 83,3 kg Even though yesterday I ate a bit over calories but in a healthy/fatty way. I guess the overall calories defizit of the week starts to kick in - at least I hope so.

Ready for my round 37
OSW 88KG
RSW 61.1(-26.9 kg) or {- 59.3lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
12/29 60.95kg...getting there
12/30 60.15kg. Ready to exercise again after lazy day yesterday.
12/31 60.55kg just one of those things. Travelling day tomorrow. Packing up today.
01/01 60.15kg but will be up tomorrow after a few gins last night. Happy New year! All day in the car today. Appointment booked at the gym with trainer for 9am tomorrow. I can't wait! I have tried to work out while I have been away but it isn't the same. Struggling to come to terms with being the person who misses the gym....
01/02 60.85 kg which is not a surprise. I'm back to losing from today. Gym appointment in a couple of hours and I'm feeling inspired again.
01/03 60.65kg a great day yesterday. Back in the gym and a goal settling meeting with the trainer went well. Agreed I want to get strong this year and the session reflected that! Going back today for another session. Kept inside all my macros yesterday so going for a drop before the 1 year anniversary on Sunday.
01/04 60.1kg. Tough workout yesterday but so worth it. Hair cut too so I'm ready to go back to work on Monday. Going to have a quiet weekend with some stretching only.

01/05 365 days! 60.1kg. So after a year on mfp and keto (with a few slips of course!) I have lost just short of 28 kg or 61.5lbs. Not much loss these last 2 months but I can't claim a stall or a plateau because I haven't been strict. I aim to lose another 3kg {6.6lbs} and I have rededicated myself to this journey. Thanks to everyone here for the last 365 days and onwards to the next!

I'm just gonna sneak back in at the end of the round. I have been here before and stopped in Round 80-something because of stress. I stopped counting calories and I still weighed myself.... so I'm back at the point of wanting some accountability.

Start weight: 74kg
Goal weight: 70kg

New year's plans:
- run consistently and enjoy it
- complete Yoga with Adriene HOME by mid-Feb
- 70k steps per week
- see my body as my ally and not an enemy or something that needs to change and isn't good enough
- I will not diet or think badly about food, see where 16:8 (and sometimes 14:10) takes me

Goal for this round: 168.x

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29—170.8 All holiday sweets are cleared from the house. I think I’ll begin the No Junk Food Challenge today for a week. After all the cookies, cakes, etc available 24/7 over the holidays, not only do I need to do this, but it may help with breaking that sugar addiction which will be difficult again. Hopefully, I’ll be able to stick with it most days at least. One day at a time! I’ve also committed to the 365-mile Challenge (not counting step miles) and recruited two long-time friends to share a spreadsheet to track our progress, so this should be fun, too. I did it two years ago (finished by June) and it was not only fun, but really helped keep me motivated to get outside every day weather allowed and get in a walk, bike ride, or hike.
12/30—170.2–Got in a 20 minute/5 mile exercise bike program; walked the neighborhood; was successful in the No Junk Food Challenge. I will track all my food today!
12/31—169.8—Goodbye 170s! Not going back. Hurt my back yesterday putting together a piece of furniture, but still hobbled around the neighborhood for a walk—not as long as it would have been, but at least I got our there. With all sweets out of the house, I already feel better! Goals for today: fast 16/8 or better, log all food and stay within calories, and get in a walk AND a bike session. Oh, and HIDE THE PEANUT BUTTER!
01/01–167.2—Love this!!! But I did work for it! Went for a longer walk, but the real difference was in my nutrition. Working in lots of veggies and several fruits throughout the day, even a little yogurt with fresh fruit as my dessert last night at dinner. No cheating yesterday. Success with the No Junk Food Challenge for 3 days in a row now. That always works for me if I will stick to it ruthlessly. Happy New Year!
01/02–169.0—Hiked yesterday, which almost always makes me tick up a little bit, but I also gave in to some LNS last night. Hopefully this will drop quickly again. Still a loss for the round so far though, so

01/03—167.8—Yay, headed back in the right direction. Got in a good workout early yesterday with my exercise bike, then stayed on plan for calories in the green. Have a breakfast meeting this morning at Panera—I will NOT have a cinnamon crunch bagel!!! I’ll need to repeat that mantra to myself multiple times between now and then. LOL
01/04–167.2—Did great during my breakfast with old friends—steel cut oatmeal INSTEAD of that cinnamon crunch bagel I love. Success! Also, got in an evening bike workout, so I’m happy with my day yesterday.
01/05—167.4—This is normal. I will not let it get to me. Still doing well with tracking and exercise, but I guess I could have done that bike workout last night even though I felt like my thigh muscles needed a rest. I walked yesterday morning since the rain had finally stopped.

12/29 169.4lbs, 36.9%BF; 7h27m/78 - unexpected loss, but I will take it! Had an extra day at the gym last week... I'm sure that helped. And when I was over, it was usually protein & a little fat; kept carbs on lockdown as much as possible.
12/30 169.4lbs, 36.9%BF; 6h9m/64 - not great sleep. Gym this morning and probably a very long day at work ahead.
12/31 168.0lbs, 36.5%BF; 8h22m/89... happy with all of this. Sleep felt wonderful!

Male, 59, 5'10"
Starting Weight: 402.8
Current weight: 388.6
Ultimate Goal: 185 lbs., but realistically 10-12% bodyfat.
10-day Goal: 386.5

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 - 388.6 - Walked around a local mall 1.2 miles, will take another walk after dinner.
12/30 - 393.4 - Forgot to weigh myself this morning so this is after lunch + haven't been out yet (later today, though) because of the rain.
12/31 - 389.1 - Tweaked my knee Monday night and haven't been able to walk. Rest is smart in this case. But I expect my weight to rise a bit tomorrow. I hate missing my walks.
01/01 - 392.2 - Knee is better, but outside walking may be out. Fortunately, the local gym is open today. Gonna try the Cybex to keep from stressing my knee. Also found that if I don't track my calories/food w/MyFitnessPal, my weight seems to go up a bit. So... back to tracking (NY resolution).
01/02 - 391.5 - Knee continues to improve, but I'll still use the Cybex at my local gym. I have to pedal faster than I like, but get done in 45 minutes. If I'm not lazy and track my calories properly (MFP) I see gradual decreases. When I'm an idiot...
01/03 - 389.9 - Back under 390 again. Knee feels good. I'll stay at the gym for, at least, one more day. But I want to get back outside. Now I'll start adding yoga and weights to my plan. Just use MFP for calorie tracking and it always works. Why I stop? Laziness?
01/04 - missed - not sure how. Had to go for a late night walk to get in my steps for the day (StepBet)
01/05 - 389.4 - Reinforcing my belief that, if I track my calories w/ MFP, my weight continues on a downward slope. Tried to walk this morning, but the wind is brutal. To the gym later.

Eat at/under calorie goal each day (I’m full time breast-feeding, so that’s still a lot of calories!). Be especially watchful of evening eating. Hydrate. Move. Lose any amount.

Just seen this thread and it looks awesome- great to keep me accountable- hopefully. Been on MFP for ages, well always had it in the background. 2019 not been a good year weight wise, I’ve put on a shocking amount of weight after otherwise being a healthy (ish) weight for years. Anyway here goes....

Start Weight- 218.8lb
End of 10 day goal- 214lb
Ultimate Goal Weight- 175lb

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 218.8lb
12/30 217.2lb 😀 (A good start)
12/31 217.0lb Had a very good ‘leg’ session at the gym yesterday and I’m feeling it this morning in my quads and calves. Back to it today, bench pressing and some HiiT on the stepper planner before the New Years Eve festivities. Takeaway has been suggested by family, so I’m going to let myself have it, but make sure it fits within my calorie goal for the day. Oh and 3 weeks into being alcohol free- taking my own AF beer!!
01/01- 219lb Good session at the gym yesterday and thankfully the gym’s open again today. Had a takeaway last night and probably indulged too much in nibbles etc. Stuck to non-alcoholic beer which is a win. I think the salt from the curry and nuts etc are causing this weight retention today. Stuck within my calories- just, yesterday so hopefully this will come off in the next day or so. Plenty of water today and easy on the carbs....
01/02- 216.8lb Stuck to my intentions yesterday. Made a lovely sweet potato and black bean chilli which made several portions 👍🏻. Another gym session today followed by an hour of football training, so plenty of cardio today. Going to have another day of watching carbs closely and drinking loads of fluid in order to flush out any remaining water weight from New Years.
01/03- 216.2 (Moving in the right direction)
Skipped the cardio aspect of the gym yesterday as my legs were in pieces after heavy squats and various isolation exercises. Felt like I could eat everything in sight yesterday- chose healthy (ish) snacks to eat rather than the masses of chocolate my misses has in the cupboard! Plan today is to do a chest session at the gym and stick to my food entered in my diary (I always log the day before).
01/04 216.6lb Not a massive change from yesterday so not bothered by the slight increase. Been much more active today, 5 hours of football coaching followed by an hour at the gym. Did some interval stuff on the elliptical after some deadlifts, strict pressure and other back exercises. Salmon and spinach curry for tea. Would like to reevaluate my 10 day goal to 215lb. Probably a bit optimistic with the original goal- especially with my body getting used to this new workout regime.
01/05 216.6 Same as yesterday, I know I’m not drinking anywhere near the amount of water that my body needs. I just can’t seem to get used to drinking so much of it. Always drink 1l at the gym, then probably only another 500ml in the day. Going to the gym (11th day running) for a leg session, always love the sessions as my legs are too sore to attempt cardio 😀😀😀.

Back to life! Back to reality!
Last year, my goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
This year, I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
Last year, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
This year, I have consistently lost weight since the end of July. I have put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but am still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Thanks @grandmajackie, this challenge is great. First time joining in. I love setting short-term goals and everyone’s posts and successes are so motivating. Two days ago I hit my heaviest weight ever. I’m on my third day of eating healthy and exercising.

Okay, I am so happy to be losing this weight, however, this is about getting healthy in EVERY way. So, today, I WILL get 6 vegies/fruit in and drink 64 oz water!! That is my ONLY goal for today!. I'm upping my calories for the next few days also.

Previous posts

12/29 - 183.9
What I did well: Ended 16/8 intermittent fast at 10am this morning for 18 hrs fasting. This works for me because I'm not hungry in the mornings. I can go to bed hungry and wake up not hungry at all and I eat 2 meals the day my fast ends. Waterrower for 30 mins, actual calories (not net) 1197, started new fast at 3:30pm. No sugar. No processed food. 4 vegies.
What I can improve on tomorrow: Eat at least 2 serv fruit, drink more water - only 5 cups today. Add some reps with free weights.

12/30 - 182.7 Yay! Ended Fast of 18 hrs. Too early to doc how today went but I have to say I feel very optimistic. I have never joined an online group before and I can already tell the accountability factor, reading all your posts with how you're doing and seeing your progress is extremely motivating. Additional goals: be able to climb 2 flights of stairs in house without getting winded and not have my bra cut me in half - sorry to the guys on here.

Evening update: Calories 1015 (not net), rowed 30 mins, did some free weight, stopped eating at 4pm, and did NOT eat sugar, which is great considering my cravings are all-in after the holidays - but they are subsiding, thank goodness. What I need to do better tomorrow: did not meet my vegie/fruit goal unless you count white potatoes and onions in a ham casserole as vegies

Got to drink more water too!

12/31 - 180.9, and because i thought something was wrong with my scale

, I weighed again later and it was 181.0 so 5 pounds in 5 days, BUT readying myself if it goes up tomorrow to not get discouraged. I must have had a LOT of water weight after Christmas. I thought it would go up today because I ate bread and potatoes yesterday (but kept calories low and rowed). The bread I eat though is homemade english muffin bread. It's higher in protein because made with bread flour and whole milk - no butter, oil, or eggs and just 63 calories per oz (and so good). 1221 calories. IF 19.5 hrs. I'm going to drink a lot of water today to see if I can keep my weight from shooting up tomorrow. I will enjoy the moment though!

01/01 - 180.6. IF 18 hrs. 1138 calories. Shoveled a foot of snow off my deck - it took me forever but burned calories like crazy and so nice to just be outside. Rowed 10 mins. Today I will eat those 6 vegies/fruit I keep saying I'm going to eat LOL and drink 64oz of water! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. Here's to a very healthy 2020!

01/02 - 180.1 - 7th day sticking to it! If 17 hrs. I'm thrilled with the scale going down but also know that some of it is water weight from the holidays and know it will slow down and may even go up a little in the days to come. However, what I'm really proud of is that I've stuck with it this first week since for me (and most people I'm sure) the starting, or getting back on it, is the hardest of all. I know I'm going to do it this time! Starting to have health issues and hitting the highest weight by far that I've ever hit freaked me out big time. When I joined this message board, and it was the first time I joined one, I wasn't sure if it would help, but it's really amazing how nice and supportive everyone is and how it really does keep you accountable and motivated.

01/03 - 179.9 - Met 10 day goal - 6 pounds lost since I joined MFP on 12/27/19. Just squeaked it out this morning and finally back into the 170's!! Even if I go back and forth for a few days into 180's again, on this day I hit it and will enjoy it this morning. My goal for the rest of this 10 day period is to be solidly in the 170's to start the next 10 day challenge! Today will be the 7th day I've done intermittent fasting. In some ways, it's just happened naturally because I find when I fast, I start being able to go without eating somewhat easier and not as focused on food. Emphasis on "somewhat" as I'm not there all the way. Never being hungry in the mornings helps. However, last night I was very hungry. My average calories over the last 7 days has been 1163 (not net) with rowing every day but one burning 300 calories. I allow 1500 calories a day so if I go over 1200 I don't get into my old games of OMG I'm over by 1 calorie, I must eat everything in sight and start over, which means I'm going to eat for days as I try to get back on it. I've finally got it through my head that even an 1800 calorie day is better than deciding I blew it because I ate 1400 calories and must eat everything in the house! Another reason IF is good for me is my cravings are horrible in the late afternoon/evening so it's helping me to regain control of that time period. I'm going to up my calories a little and start snowshoeing or walking along with rowing. Challenge coming up: Playoffs and wanting to make all kind of good stuff. I think I'll do baked wings with very little blue cheese dressing! This is going to be a very fun weekend with all the games!!

01/04 - 180.0 - that dastardly scale - just kidding, expected not to be solidly into the 170's for a few days more at least. I intentionally added more calories yesterday because I was feeling weak physically. I'm proud that I didn't do what the old me would do and binge because I was going over 1200 calories and instead I had 1424 calories. I had pecans and added salt (another goal to reduce since I eat way too much). Best pecans ever - shipped from a farm in Georgia who has no other nuts which is great since I'm severely allergic to peanuts. Enjoy your weekend!

Back for Round 100
Female / Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)

Thanks @GrandmaJackie for getting us started! I've been mia, but have been tracking and I'm jumping back in! I've been following along and keeping up with everyone, but not posting myself. Big congrats to everyone making it through the last few rounds. Whether you gained, stayed stable, or managed to move forward with a loss - that's a big accomplishment! This is an easy time of year to just throw your arms up in defeat - and you stayed the course!

A big welcome to all the newbies jumping in with your goals for the New Year! The first step is the hardest. Just remember, one baby step at a time - and don't tie your success (and self-worth) to a number. Small changes add up, and you've stumbled into an amazing group

Intro:

Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.

Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.

Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.

Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.

A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.

Round Stats

R95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0 loss
R96: SW 145.3 GW 144.0 EW 145.0 Results - 0.3 loss
R97: SW 145.0 GW 144.0 EW 143.8 Results - 1.2 loss
R98: SW 143.8 GW 142.8 EW 145.3 Results - 1.5 gain
R99: SW 145.3 GW 144.3 EW 144.6 Results - 0.7 loss

Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.

R99 Challenges: My challenges this round will be finding and getting back to a routine. Life has been quite unfair as we moved into the holidays. My son lost his mother in-law in childbirth on Christmas Eve. She was just 48, and left behind three granddaughters who are devastated and the baby was transferred to NICU 3 hours away. My daughter in-law has been with the baby (who is stable now), and we have been trying to help my son with the girls. Then my mother in-law was admitted on Thursday with complications from pneumonia and passed away on Sunday. That things have been stressful and chaotic, is an understatement.

I am proud of myself for being mindful of my emotional and physical self. It will take a concerted effort to stay the course as our family navigates the changes. I spent some quiet time this morning doing my meal planning. I've also looked at my Round Stats, and see that I stayed stable over the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays - that's huge!

R100 SW: 144.6
R100 GW: 143.6

12/29 (S) 145.3 (Trend Weight 144.6)

12/30 (M) 145.5 (Trend Weight 144.7) This is my one year mark for refocusing on my health, and how my eating and exercise plays into that! I am 13 pounds down and 10 pounds away from my UGW. Who'd have ever thought it would be this long and hard?! I am hoping that this is a sign that the loss is not only sustainable, but that the hard fought changes in my habits are becoming ingrained.

12/31 (T) 144.8 (Trend Weight 144.7) Not much to say here that I haven't already said. I am being mindful of my eating, but I need to refocus on fluid intake and exercise. Actually considering investing in a treadmill - this is the first time I have ever felt that I am disciplined enough to use it. I'm watching sales, and sneaking some time in to clear a space for it.

01/01 (W) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.7) Fixed a Tex-Mex Chicken Soup in the crockpot. Healthy and easy, and should get a couple of days out of it. Son dropped the grandkids off so he could go pick his wife up. Will be a bit of schedule. Again. I have had some water already, though! I need coffee. Not going to be enough coffee in the world today. Lol

01/02 (T) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.7) Steady. Better than a gain. Grandkids went home last night. We're still off schedule, and I'm still off routine but staying mindful of what I'm eating. I imagine this is going to be the norm until after the funerals. Mother in-law's is Monday. They haven't scheduled the one for my daughter in-law's mother yet (still waiting for autopsy). I've started cleaning and getting ready for influx of family. I have until midnight to decide whether to invest in treadmill (then the coupon expires).

01/03 (F) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.7) lol 3 days of holding steady. I'll take it. I'm actually surprised I didn't bump up a little. First day in several without the grandkids. I feel asleep early and missed dinner then woke up hungry, so dinner was around 10pm. Late night eating generally reeks havoc with the scale. This was a nice surprise.

01/04 (S) 146.2 (Trend Weight 144.9) Yikes. That's partially the bump I expected yesterday from Thursday's late dinner, and part a comfort food binge yesterday. Need to get back on my plan. A couple of you mentioned Adrienne's 30 day yoga challenge. Sounds like a good way to ease back into exercise. Signed up this morning and watched her intro video and Day 0. Plan to do the Day 1 video this afternoon.

01/05 (S) 144.5 (Trend Weight 144.8) I think I need that bump yesterday to snap me to reality. A little surprised that it bounced back down so quickly. I'll take it and be cautiously optimistic that I can hold it. I was back on plan yesterday - ate at deficit, got the Day 1 yoga in, and hit my hydration goal. Onward
