There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.

So I am trying to get back on track. I reached my goal weight right before Christmas and then lost it. I am up about 6 pounds from where I want to maintain. So we will see what happens in this round. Have not really given it 100% or participated fully since round 97, yikes! This is my round to get my breakfast and lunches back on track and cut down on my alcohol.


01/08 - 144.3 Yikes! Breakfast and lunch were planned and I have not gone off track since Monday. Hoping to start losing anytime now. Have pretty much stayed right here the last couple of days. Ready for a water whoosh any day now!

01/09 - 143.1 I think my scale and body are confused on what I should weigh right now. I'm sure my body is freaking out that I ate a salad for lunch 2 days in a row, lol. I have been terrible the last couple of weeks and back on track only for the last couple of days. The first time it said 142.2, then 143.1, then 142.7, so I am going with the highest and hoping for another drop today. I would love for at least 4 pounds of this to be water weight. If I can get back into the 130's that would be amazing, but I am sure I have gained some actual weight the last month or so. I guess time will tell!

01/10 -143.0

01/11 - 139.8 Yes almost back to my pre-Christmas banaza!

01/12 - 139.8 I'll take it

01/13 - 140.7 Not bad for a Monday! Totally ok with this. We had fast food for dinner last night, but no alcohol all weekend. I am trying to finish out strong and get back down to 137 or 138. May take me another week or 2, but we will see. On track so far today and hoping to do the same tonight

Jan 13 - 125.4 lbs :: Ate 80 calorie above limit :: AF :: 10K+ steps:: Ordered dinner out but preplannes andbportion controlled :: 5 glasses of H2O

****** Lessons-
1. If you are going to eat out, plan ahead on what to order.
2. Have a big snack before from home to control desires when eating out.
3. Dont even take a bite of dessert if you intend to avoid. Avoiding desssert after the first taste of sugar already is hard.
4. Limit alcohol further. 1 day a week is not sufficient. First taste of sugar rule applies here as well. Limiting after 1 becomes hard.

First time participating! Thank you all for the support, I need it!!

Goal is to lose 2-4 lbs by the end of 10 days.
Starting weight on 01/07: 190.2 (finishing my period so some of it should be water weight)

1/08: 190.2 Mostly stayed within my macros but ate 100 more than my cutting calories. Not feeling bad about it as I ate 32g more of protein and I had skipped dinner yesterday. Didn’t workout today as Wednesday’s are rest days for me.

1/09: 191.0 Weight was a bit up today but I’m not surprised because dinner was high in sodium. I was up by 5AM today and at the gym working bench/arms today. I had chocolate cake at work but stayed under calories today.

1/10: 188.0 down three pounds from yesterday for staying within my macros! I couldn’t go to the gym today but I’ll try to go tomorrow morning. Unfortunately went over my calories, about 300, for running errands on an empty stomach.

1/11: 189.4 worked out in the morning, legs/hamstrings/glutes day. Skipped breakfast, went to chili’s and made healthy choices and a dinner party. On days where I don’t have much control over foods, I choose to skip breakfast.

1/12: 187.6 woke up very dehydrated. Rest day. Meal peeped, cleaned, and rested. Down 3.4 lbs since my highest this week!

1/13: 189.8 ugh, lots of carbs and sodium yesterday as I recovered from a difficult weekend. Stayed under my calories and macros today and excited for the gym tomorrow morning.

Round 101 (23 for me)
Ready to jump in to the first full round of the year! My goal this round is to get started at my campus fitness center and up my exercise routine – a big deal for me since I’m basically an athletically challenged book nerd who’s never belonged to a gym before. So…I’m a little nervous. Maybe more than a little. But I’m inspired by so many of you here and I’m looking forward to trying something new.

R101 (23) – SW: 172.0 – EW: ???

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 – 172.0 – Cold and windy, but I took a short walk around campus after I toured the fitness center. We’re still on winter break, so it wasn’t too crowded or intimidating. I’ve got a physical with my new primary care physician tomorrow to get my medical okay and then I should be good to go. Made a delicious, healthy dinner tonight and met my calorie and logging goals. I’m a little surprised at how glad I am to get back to my MFP routine after the holidays.
01/09 – 171.2 – Nice little drop before my appointment today. (Weighed in at 173.0 with shoes and clothes on the doc’s scale.) Waiting on the results of my bloodwork, but my BP is back down to normal – woo hoo! Met up with my daughter for lunch, an indoor walk, and shopping for exercise clothes. Under on calories, but lots of salt, so I may see a bump up tomorrow. Not worried because I’m logging everything and staying on track. And feeling great!
01/10 – 172.2 – There’s that salt bump – happens every time I east out. Walked for over an hour and used some of my exercise calories to have another glass of wine and a piece of chocolate after dinner. Tried a new recipe – Michael Symon’s baked cod shakshuka. Delicious and pretty healthy, although fairly high in sodium. Eating out again tomorrow for my husband’s birthday, so I don’t expect to see a drop for a few days. But I’m going to eat sensibly and otherwise relax and enjoy the weekend.
01/11 – 172.6 – Still climbing, but I’m not going to stress over it. We had a multi-generational birthday celebration for my husband with a a couple of rounds of laser tag followed by a delicious dinner at a local Mexican eatery. We all had a blast! Now I’m totally wiped out!
01/12 – 173.2 – It is what it is. Taking down the tree today, but I’ll try to squeeze in a walk in this unseasonably warm weather. It’s such a gorgeous day that I don’t want to spend it all indoors. Dinner at m mom’s tonight, so I won’t be cooking again, but it’s back to the normal routine tomorrow. (Wrote yesterday’s post last night, but for some reason I couldn’t connect with the server, I gave up and went to bed.)
01/13 – 173.6 – Okay, enough of this. Time to turn this ship around. Walked for an hour in the cool and misty woods, working up a sweat on the hilly terrain. Stopped for an herbal iced tea at a nearby café and was sorely tempted by their luscious blueberry hand pies. But I resisted (and kept to my calorie limit) – guess that’s today’s NSV.

Day/Weight/Comment:

1/08: 132.0 - can't complain when it doesn't go up. Weight lifting yesterday and this morning plus 25 minutes treadmill/elliptical. An hour in the gym this morning and my apple watch says I burned 300 calories. Hard to stay under calories when I can eat that back in a nanosecond. But still feeling on top of this for now. Stopped at grocery store and bought lots of veggies for roasted veggies and garbanzo beans tonight. Have a fantastic healthy day, everyone!

1/09: 130.4 - Wow, that's pretty cool. I've changed my diet to maximize protein, which is really hard for me as a vegetarian. The last 2 nights, even though I wasn't hungry, I added an 80 calorie/15 gram protein plain greek yogurt at the end of the day (on top of adding as much protein as possible during the day) and maybe that has made a difference. And I started lifting heavily on Monday, lifted the last 3 days. Taking today off from lifting because my arm is sore and I'm trying to listen to my body. But might add some sort of activity.

1/10: 131.0 - no work out yesterday, was hard to stay within calories without those "extras" but I did it. Today, great workout (back and biceps) and 20 minutes elliptical. Taking a road trip tonight to look at some cheap cars and dinner will be on the road, must make good choices.

1/11: 130.0 - just hit my goal weight! Took a solid year to get here and it feels pretty amazing. Now to keep it here! I think 2 things really jump started the weight loss over the last month - eating more protein and lifting weights. Well, that and eating consistently at a deficit. Who knew ;-).

1/12: 129.0 - going to enjoy this downward trend for as long as it lasts. Great workout yesterday, ate under calories and got lots of protein. Btw, 125 is my ultimate happy, happy weight. 130 was a “let’s see how I feel when I get there” goal.

1/13: 129.2 - Had a great workout today but I overdid it and my tennis elbow is very sore. I was doing so well, thought it was getting the rest it needed but now I feel like the last 2 weeks off from pickleball was for nothing. Very frustrated with myself for not taking it slowly. I know better.

End of Round 101 Goal- 213lb
Ultimate Goal- 173lb

I’ve started some good healthy habits in Round 100- looking forward to continuing these for the next 10 days. Didn’t lose the amount of weight I wanted to in the last round, but did weigh in at 216 a few days ago. Looking for a ‘mini whoosh’ this 10 days to get me losing some lb!!! Aim is to go to the gym 8 times in the 10 days, always stay under my calorie goal and eat my dinners a bit earlier (not currently eating until after 8pm).


Day/Weight/Comment
1/8 - 216.0 lb (-1.2lb) A great start to the 10 days. Came in just below the daily calories allowance. Missed the gym due to football coaching going on too long. Today I plan to do some cardio at the gym, stick to my calories and avoid any treats on the staff room table.
1/9 -216.6lb- not bothered about the slight weight gain, however; disappointed in myself that I missed a gym session (I could have found time) and are a couple of biscuits from the staff room. Other than that stuck to my calories/ more water needed today- this really is my Achilles heel! Early finish at work today so gym around lunchtime for a heavy leg session. First time at the pub for a month tonight since I became AF a month ago. Lime and soda all the way- never want to go back to what I was!!!
1/10 - 215.4lb (-1.2lb). A good loss yesterday after a few days of no movement. Went to the pub last night and drank AF Becks. Didn’t miss ‘normal’ beer in the slightest, even if the becks didn’t taste that amazing. Ate 200 cals over my allowance, but did gain back lots of exercise calories through the gym and a very active football session. Aim for today is to stay under the calorie goal, go to the gym and drink 2.5l of water.
1/11 - 215.8lb (+.4lb) Wasn’t really feeling it yesterday! Only packed a very small lunch which meant I consumed far too much food after work. Hummous and breadstick binge 🙄. Drank lots of water but didn’t make the gym due to my girlfriend not feeling great (She’s 38 weeks pregnant)
Back to the gym today, do some cardio, deadlifts and some isolation activities. Aim is to be in the 214s by Monday.
1/12 - 215.8lb . Another day of feeling quite groggy. No gym yesterday, must be in the ‘nesting phase’ as all I seem to want to do is clean. Made the most amazing beef and celeriac stew last night, limited my portion and only had a small amount of potato. I WILL go to the gym today- no excuses. Light day planned today.
1/13 - 215.8lb. Ate very healthily today and drank quite a bit of water. Back to work today which always presents its problems with regards to fluid intake. Can never seem to get enough in. Might need to re-assess my 10 day goal. I think, because I’ve got a lot of weight to lose (42 pound) that it would come off quickly. Need to be more realistic and happy to lose 1.5lb a week.
1/14 - 215.2 (-0.6lb) Drank a bit more water than usual, although still need to drink more. Under my calorie goal, and ate a very healthy dinner. Food is all logged in advance for today- just got to stick to it.
