01/08 - 189.4! Wow, down already into the 180s
My goal for this challenge is to be in the 180s by the end of it, so hopefully I can maintain this loss. Still feeling sick as a dog, I dont know when I'm going to kick this cold, it's been going on forever. But hopefully if I keep eating healthy and getting lots of sleep, it will go away soon.
01/09 - 189.2! So glad to stay stable! Still really sick, didn't get any work done today, mostly lay in bed sleeping all day. Hoping to be healthier soon but happy to at least still be making progress.
01/10 - 191... up quite a bit and very bummed. Hopefully it's mostly bloat from being sick, but motivating to be stricter about my diet. Feeling a little better today, so I am going to try to get some good work done today but not going to try exercising again until I'm all better.
01/11 - 191.4... womp womp, not what I wanted to see but maybe my body is just recalibrating after last challenge's huge loss.
01/12 - 191! Down a little bit, which is nice. Had a lot of trouble sticking to my diet. It's hard to keep motivation when the scale isnt cooperating, but I'm still so far from where I started that I shouldn't be throwing in the towel so easily. Did better with my diet today
01/13 - 190.4! Yay, at least back to where I started this challenge If I can maintain this or even lose a little by the end of the challenge, I will be happy. First day back at work after being sick, trying to get lots done. Don't want to push myself too hard, because I'm not all the way recovered yet, but doing some light exercise today to get myself back in the fitness game.
01/14 - 190.2! Well, down is down. Did much better on my diet today, now I just gotta get my writing productivity to match it... having such a hard time focusing my thoughts and energies
01/15 - 189.4! Yay, progress! Very happy with myself for that and that I got a lot of work done today. My depression has really been getting out of control lately and making it harder for me to get any work done. I finally faced the facts and saw a psychiatrist and got a Prozac prescription. I don't think it's having any effect yet but just knowing that there may be hope that things will get better made it easier for me today to stick to my diet and get work done.

My reason why: shore scuba diving trip in March 2020; I need to be strong and fit.
Goal: logging all food and exercise to find optimum weight loss balance.

01/14: 216.8 This is my first time (in a long time) back on my home scale with my usual routine of weighing first thing in the morning before breakfast. Time to buckle down. I am back to logging too.

Due to lack of access to my regular scale, my entries were somewhat of a guess for the first part this round. I weighed later in the day and wearing different clothes. I missed some days too. It will mess with my averages, but it is what it is. I will just put an asterisk next to the number. Now that I am back in the routine there will be a big correction in 2020. And, I will hit 199 sometime in 2020!

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.

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.
01/14 – 172.8 – That’s a little better. Another day of sticking to my calorie limit and staying hydrated. Rainy day and I had a lab test, so I made this my rest day. Got my doc’s sign-off for the gym with no restrictions, so I’m almost there.
01/15 – 172.8 – Last day of nice weather before it gets cold again, so I walked for an hour at the beach after class. I love the colors of the ocean in that last hour of sunlight! Lunch out tomorrow, so I ate carefully today.

01/14 59.2kg. Not a problem as I usually get an uptick after a loss. Just need to keep it small. Gym was tough... Lower body.

08 jan: 86.9 kg; worked hard cleaning out the rest of the garage, walked the dog for about an hour and a half in total and ate well.
09 jan: 86.8 kg; Yesterday a pallet of firewood we bought was delivered to my house. It was too high to enter the (now cleaned) garage.... so I went up en down the 2-step stairs taking off 2 layers of wood, put it in the garage, then cut a piece of the top of the pallet, my husband drove it in the garage, and I ended up going up and down the stairs again putting all the woodblocks back on top of the other ones. I tought that was enough workout for the day..... Stayed in kcalgoal and walked the dog for an hour and a half of course.
10 jan: 86.5 kg; Strong Curves week 2 workout 2 🏋️♀️ done in stead of yesterday. Walked a bit less than I had planned, since the dog was under the weather, but still managed to have over 10.000 steps 👣.
11 jan: 86.2 kg; Strong Curves week 2 workout 3 🏋️♀️ completed, going to enjoy the weekend!
12 jan: 85.8 kg; Had a lovely relaxed day. Today is the last day that the dog and kids are in the house. Next week Sunday evening they will be back again (co-parenting). Trying to walk as much as I can on my own this week, before I start working again on thursday.
13 jan: 85.7 kg: It was a lazy Sunday, just walked an hour and a half.
14 jan: 85.7 kg; Yesterday I saw somewhere on the forum a discussion where pop-tart was mentioned. I realy like them, but they are not widely avaliable here in the Netherlands. So I took my 🚴♀️, biked 15 miles to get a single package in the house. After luch I finished workout 1 week 3 Strong Curves, made a cup of tea and heated the well earned pop-tart 😍.
15 jan: 85.6 kg; Walked for an hour to get me some daycream on sale.... ate 190 kcal above schedule and kept myself busy planning a holiday in November in Mexico and Belize.
16 jan: 85.7 kg; Strong Curves week 3 workout 2 🏋️♀️, but that was about it. Today I go back to work again......

@MSWDiet - I caved easily without good reason because I've conveniently "forgotten" that I am on a diet for life. This is not a lifestyle choice it is a necessity. I'm determined to regaining my vigilance for doing what works. A major attitude adjustment is in progress. This is me to a t!!!!
@fmfdfa2020 - thats my problem too, I eat one chocolate, biscuit, cake and the flood gates open and I go into a full blown binge not being able to get enough even when my stomach feels full, got to get back to strongly saying "NO" from the outset.

Back to life! Back to reality!
Last yearMy goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
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!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Back on track for this round, it was nice being more relaxed (food wise) during the holiday season, I think I was loosing motivation and needed a break. Being able to treat myself and stay around the same weight has been encouraging and I feel motivated to loose some pounds again.

Goals
1 - Track my calories daily
2 - Run (or gym) 2x week - yoga 1x week
3 - Water 1.5l
4 - 10.000 steps
Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:
01/08 153.6 (-1.2) 11.136 steps.
01/09 153.6 (-0.0) 9636 steps. Not the best choices for dinner last night and I was over calories but no gain so that'll do I should post my daily calories for accountability, just like my daily weight 
I need to get some veggies in, I haven't been shopping in nearly a week and my fridge is about empty, it'll help make some better choices! Today is another easy day, I'm hoping the weather will improve enough to be able to go for a walk during my lunch break.
01/10 154.6 (+1.0),1228 cal, 10.410 steps. TOM so no surprise there and I ate a late dinner which contributed to that gain (normally I don't eat after 6pm). I expect it to drop at the end of the TOM. Yesterday was a good day in the end, I walked home in the evening to get some steps in. Migraines are back so they've upped the medication dosage, but as it's all stress related so I'm not sure that's the best way to treat it. I've booked a week in Tunisia for Easter where I plan to do nothing but read and chill
01/11 154.6 (-0.0)
01/12 153.0 (-1.6) good drop, TOM over so I expected it
01/13 152.2 (-0.8) 1216 cal, 9500 steps + gym. My lowest weight so far! Yesterday was a god day, healthy food and 1h at the gym doing cardio and elliptical. I found some old jeans and surprisingly not only did they fit but they're even a little big so that's a win I'm very happy with. Today I've planned an easy day, I might walk home from work this evening if the weather stays reasonable.
01/14 152.2 (-0.0) 1198 cal, 8642 steps. Stayed on track yesterday, although I didn't get all my steps in. I'm happy to see this number two days in a row, I'm hoping it'll be my go to weight after staying in the 154.x for so long. With my daughter away and no junk food (actually hardly any food) at home it's so much easier to stay on track
I'm also taking the time to do a big clean at home, so I've not been to the gym as much as I planned.
01/15 150.8 (-1.4) 1266 cal, 7412 steps. Big drop there but I don't expect it to stay there. Yesterday I skipped dinner as I made the typical mistake of eating a snack mid-afternoon without checking the calories before, I had no idea candied ginger would be 600 cal
Although with that woosh maybe I should do it more often Also I think I'm coming down with something, a head cold or such, I woke up feeling quite unwell
01/16 150.8 (-0.0) 1182 cal, 7.773 steps. I'm pleased I've stayed at this weight, I went out to dinner yesterday but told my friends I wasn't feeling well so just had tea. I'll admit that it was only partially true, I didn't fancy eating a late dinner when I've been doing so well this round, so I had had something healthy before going out.

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.
1/14: 189.6 worked out today and stayed under macros even tho I had to re plan dinner because my husband ate my meal lol
1/15: 187.8 worked out legs today and stayed under macros. Slept really bad last night, hoping tonight is better.
1/16: 187.8 - 2.4lbs down from my starting weight and 3.2lbs from the highest this week. Thanks so much for this thread and support!15 -

1/11 166.4lbs, 36.1%bf; 7h34m/86 - this cold has moved into my chest and won't let go. Hard to sleep well.
1/12 166.4lbs, 36.1%bf; 6h42m/69 - not great sleep, feeling pretty run down.
1/13 165.4lbs, 35.8%bf; 6h25m/77 - starting to feel better.
1/14 166.2lbs, 36.0%bf; 7h47m/87 - Sunday's dip was probably water related. No chance at goal this round but feeling better and down overall. That's a win.
1/15 165.8lbs, 35.9%bf; 7h8m/80 - decent sleep, slowing getting this congestion under control. Plus, HUMP DAY! 🐪
1/16 165.8lbs, 35.9%bf; 5h53m/71 - continue to improve, but woke up too early. I'll be paying for that today.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 - 146.5 - Good start to the round. The boss is taking us to lunch at an Italian restaurant today, so I'll check the menu before we go to see the best options.
01/09 - 146.5 - I'm glad to see the sodium didn't bump me up today. I have to have an ingrown toenail removed and the nailbed sealed today, so that will probably limit the amount of steps I have over the next couple days. I'm planning to use our old exercise bike and rowing machine more than I usually do to make up for the lack of movement.
01/10 - 147 - This bump up could be due to a number of things. I hate going into the weekend at a higher weight, but this should just make me pay more attention to what I'm eating. Happy Friday!
01/11 - 147
01/12 - 146.5
01/13 - 146.5 - I had a crazy weekend. We had a bad windstorm Saturday night that resulted in a lot of damage to our 100 foot pine trees lining our back yard. We spent yesterday cleaning up the branches, patching part of the fence, and contracting with a landscaper to take out a damaged tree before it falls over. The good news is that I did not stress eat and I did get in a lot of exercise!
01/14 - 146.5 - My toe was bothering me yesterday due to the activity on Sunday, so I hopped on our exercise bike and pedaled for about a half hour last night.
01/15 - 147 - There is no reason for the bump, other than I had a lean pocket for lunch yesterday. I was within calories so I'll just be drinking extra water today to take care of the extra sodium and carbs. I also have a healthier lunch packed today.
01/16 - 147.5 - I've been weighing myself daily for almost 2 years now. I am very used to the unexplained ups and downs. I did NOT see this coming, in fact I'd hoped I'd see 146. All I can think is that my eyeball measurements are skewed when I'm preparing my dinner. Time to bring my food scale back out.

1/11: 223.7 rough days Thursday and Friday. I went off the rail for some reason. Still not sure why. Back on track now.
1/12: 222.2 feeling back on track and more in control of my emotions. Dang, this is tough stuff.
1/13: 221.8 We had lunch at Santa Fe after church yesterday. It is possible to eat semi-healthy at restaurants but it’s so hard to resist when everyone else is eating whatever they want. I chose a grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, and a side salad with dressing on the side (only dipping salad into the dressing). I did have a dinner roll with butter but also made sure to log it and ate light in the evening.
1/14: 221.9
1/15: 221.9 – lots of exercise yesterday with walking the dogs two times
1/16: 221.3 – lots of exercise yesterday as well, walking dogs, biking, helping a friend move. My back was killing me last night!
1/17:
Have a great day!

01/13 192.0
01/14 193.0 ?? I'm hoping this is fluid gain from the resistance excersize I did yesterday. I walked 15,000 steps and stayed on plan.
01/15 191.6 better.... Walked 15,000 steps.
01/16 190.2 Ok...my goal of being in the 80's by the end of this round could happen.....

01/09-173.2 first uptick is always kind of a bummer
01/10-173.4 well I was having a major case of the snackies yesterday so I'm not suprised didn't go too crazy with calories but maybe ate a bit more than my BMR, Today will be better.
01/11-175.6pizza......and wine 😭
01/12-175.7 this is not accurate! I forgot to weigh in today until after I ate so I think im probably in an ok place! I randomly tried intermittent fasting today since I had kind of a crazy morning and i think i like it! This is coming from a big big breakfast supporter and a person who loves cream in my coffee. Might just give it a go tomorrow too!
01/13-173.4doing another day of IF
01/14-174 not in love with this number but im going to see what happenes ate reasonably didnt work out yet this week, still trying IF.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 - 388.2 - Got an email from FitBit congratulating me on 15 lb. weight loss. Too cold and windy to walk this morning, so I'll get to the gym this afternoon for a walk inside. If I track my steps w/ Fitbit and calories w/ MFP, I seem to do better.
01/08 - 388.1 - Had to take a late evening walk last night. Cold and windy is no fun. But this morning, my knee isn't tender. So, medium length walks (1.5 - 2 miles) in the morning and evening seem to be the way to go. After last night's walk, I wasn't too hungry, but I was in a 1K+ caloric deficit for the day. Prolly ate too much, but as long as I keep going down, I'm happy. Over 9300 steps today.
01/09 - 387.9 - Skipping the early morning walk since we'll be doing so much running around. I will do DDPYoga and take an evening walk to complete the physical work today. Weight down .2 lbs. I'll be very happy with that every day.
01/10 -387.9 - Skipping the early morning walk since we'll be doing so much running around. I will do DDPYoga and take an evening walk to complete the physical work today. Weight down .2 lbs. I'll be very happy with that every day.
01/11 - 388.6 - The *running around* might have met my step requirement, but doesn't seem to have helped with weight loss. I think I need to stick to actual walking. And just meeting my StepBet challenge of 7200 steps isn't enough. I'm going to try to increase to 9k steps, knees willing. I'm also thinking of walking/hiking poles to take some stress off my knees while walking. We'll see.
01/12 - 387.4 - Right direction, just slower than I would like. Almost 12K steps yesterday.
01/13 - 386.4 - There we go. MFP and walking seem to be the trick. Now I'll add weights and yoga.
01/14 -
01/15 -
01/16 -386.9 - Mild meniscus tear has me off my feet. I hate being immobile. But I should be good by Sunday if I walk on a flat track. Proverbial, two steps forward and one back.

R101
56 year old, female, 6' ft
Heaviest W: 400
Current W:. 283.8
Challenge GW:. ( would like to lose 2 or 3 lbs this round)
Day/Weight/Comment:
1/08: 283.8
1/09: 280.6 (this loss is mostly water, been retaining it)
1/10: 280.8 (+.2 oz) ( increase) did some extra walking yesterday. Still having problems with retaining water. Which I'm a little worried might make me show an increase in weight. Which is what happens sometimes, but the water will go away and than show the true weight loss. Might not happen this round. My legs are really swollen.
1/11: 278.6 (-2.2 ) I'm very happy that the water I've been retaining is finally starting to come off.
1/12: 282.8 (+4.2) Yes, I've gained. Doctor put me on a medication and it does cause you to retain water. Untill my body gets used to it and then I'll start losing all the water and keep it off. Wish it would happen sooner than later. 😩
.
1/13: 281.4 (-1.4 lb) loss from last week. Hopefully the water is finally coming off and will continue to and stay off. My goal for this round was 2 to 3 lbs loss. I've lost (-2.4 lbs) from start weight.(mostly water weight) Hoping to lose 1 or 2 lbs of real weight, once water is finished coming off. Hopefully before R101 is over in 4 days.
1/14: 281.4 (-0.0) No oh well. 😩 I'll Keep at it and stay positive. 😃
1/15: 281.6 (+0.2) Not bothered by a 0.2 oz gain. Still have 2 days to lose some weight. Either way it's nice for any weight-loss. Whether it be water or real lbs lost. Count down to end of R101. Wish everyone the best on the final stretch of this round. 😊💕
1/16: DNW~ I fell down really hard and hurt my knees and legs. I'm very sore and bruised and I won't be doing much today. I'll try to weigh in tomorrow since it's the last one this round.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08: 205.6 Yes! Down a full pound already! I had a great day, I am proud to admit out loud! Not only because I stayed under my calorie deficit, but because I actually had to eat more to make sure I came close to hitting the needed calories (good calorie choices, too). I am eager to continue good habits today.
01/09: 204.0 Increased my water intake during my period and watched my sodium intake; two problems I have struggled with in my weight loss efforts. I was always afraid I’d drank too much water, but it looks like I have been dehydrated during my period, as my doctor suggested.
01/10: 204.0 Holding steady.
01/11: 203.8 Not too happy with the way I snacked between meals yesterday.
01/12: 204.0 It snowed, so I neglected my walking routine. Looks like I will just have to brave the cold!
01/13: 202.8 Resumed my walking routine and finally cut back on the sugar.
01/14: 203.8 Ate out as an experiment to see what would happen, after a week of not eating out. Now I know!
01/15: 202.4 Glad to see that passed quickly! It has been nice to be able to track what I eat. I used to believe calorie counting would be a hassle, but it has made me more mindful of my eating choices.
01/16: 203.4 Disappointed with the scale this morning, but I have learned from reading others’ posts that this sort of change is not unusual. Plus, I am starting to have more energy from my new walking routine, so that is positive! Is a new ten day challenge posted every ten days, or this a special type of post? It has been great to have the accountability of posting everyday!

Thank you @GrandmaJackie I’m so ready for round 2 (101)
12/27 - 186.0 - Joined MFP - heaviest weight ever!
01/07 - 178.4 - End Round 100 (-7.6 lbs) (included initial 2 days on MFP - 12 days total)
Round 101 - Starting Weight 178.4
01/08 - 178.7
01/09 - 178.7
01/10 - 177.9
01/11 - 177.7
01/12 - 177.8
01/13 - 177.5
01/14 - 176.8
01/15 - 176.6
01/16 - 176.6 IF 19 hrs, walked, weights, lots of water, vegies and fruit. I don't know why I thought just because I lost water weight in the beginning that I would lose that much the next 10 days. I set my goal for 4.4 pounds - silly me
. I will be a lot more realistic the next 10 days. As of today, I've almost lost 2 pounds for this 10 days, which I'm so happy I've stuck with it (thanks to this group)! I haven't made it 3 weeks in years!
01/17
Goal for end of Round 101 - 174.0
Only tracking short-term 10 day goal - looking too far ahead doesn't work for me. Celebrating every healthy change along the way!
Round 10101/08 - 178.7 I'm very happy the small increase still kept me solidly in the 170's and didn't bounce back to 180's! Increased my calories yesterday intentionally to 1437. Rowed 30 mins. Did some reps with free weights. Not enough water. Excited for a day of healthy eating and lots of water!
01/09 - 178.7 My body has decided it wants to continue to have its own little private party with this weight for a while longer. I wanted to say how inspiring y'all are. I was looking at some of your posts this morning and the amount of weight you have lost and how positive you have been throughout the ups and downs, really amazing! I'm so glad I found this group.
01/10 - 177.9 Yay! I hope that's it for 178 - we shall see. IF 18 hrs, 1143 calories and rowed 30 mins. Yesterday was 14 days of sticking to it, which for me is amazing. I'm usually off it by the 5th day. I've had no sugar or processed food for these 14 days which has helped my cravings tremendously. One other thing I stopped quite a while ago that helped with cravings was diet coke. That had to be one of the best things I've done for my health. It took me having surgery to scare me off the stuff.
01/11 - 177.7 IF 18 hrs. I finally had 64oz water and lots of vegies. I'm trying to work on both of these. I've been making lots of casseroles with chicken or ground beef I get from the local farmer and I throw tons of vegies into it, add an ounce of cheese and use chicken broth. I add a few potatoes to smash up to thicken it, then bake it. It's really good and lasts for days.
01/12 - 177.8 IF 17.5 hrs, 30 min row, free weights, 64oz+ water, lots of vegies. Goal of 174 might have been a little optimistic We soon shall see. Either way, I'm doing all the right things, and going in the right direction.
01/13 - 177.5 IF 18.5 hrs, 64+oz water and lots of vegies (3rd day of both of these - creating a habit? I hope so), took a day off from any exercise.
01/14 - 176.8 IF 18 hrs, rowed 30 mins. Calories 1114. I still have cravings but like I've said before, they have subsided so much from IF and not having sugar or processed food. It feels so good to be control of my eating after being out of control for soooo long. I can't believe how much better I feel after 19 days. I can't imagine how I'm going to feel after 6 months. I wrote a bunch of weight loss motivational sayings down from Pinterest when I started and read thru them periodically. This one is standing out today: If I quit now I'll soon be where I started, and when I started I so desperately wanted to be where I am now. I am so happy to be where I am now 19 days in and feeling like I can do this thing!
01/15 - 176.6 IF 19 Hrs, free weights. I saw someone else write about not being able to handle sugar, and I'm sure many of us are like this, but I can not have one bite of sugar or I'm done. If I can't have the entire box of cookies, I don't want even one, because my cravings will be so horrible. So, yesterday, I wanted something sweet and had frozen blue berries and raspberries and it did the trick - Yay!.

01/08 266.8 I’ll admit I let the scale get me a little down this morning. However, as I was putting together the document that I use for this challenge I realized that I’m doing great. I’m only up about a pound and half from my pre break round low. I was certain that my eating habits over the holidays had gained me an honest pound or two, so where I am now makes perfect sense. I’ve only been fully back on track for a week and I don’t know what I expected. Thank you GrandmaJackie for this challenge it helped me this morning.
01/09 266.6 I was able to add resistance on my bike the other day plus a new workout and I’m still feeling it a bit. I was a little less active yesterday because my legs felt stiff. I’m hopeful of at least getting a bit more walking in today.
01/10 267.4 I went out to dinner with the hubby, it was in calorie but very sodium filled.
01/11 267.6
01/12 266.0 Yay a drop! I thought for sure I’d bounce again; I went a smidge over calories yesterday and didn’t move much. However, I did set my calories back to being sedentary for the time being so maybe that helped some. I knew that I would be out and about less this weekend because of the weather and I have trouble getting in the same step count inside as I do when I can walk outside.
01/13 267.2 One word, pizza.
01/14 265.6 Yay. I was worried I’d see another bounce because I had an early weigh in. I’m trying a new schedule in hopes of getting more than five hours of broken sleep a night.
01/15 265.6 I’m happy with this because I’m trying to adjust to the new schedule. I slept better, but my eating was a little off. I’m sure I’ll adapt soon, it’s just a matter of figuring out when I eat to avoid being overly hungry at any given point in the day.
01/16 264.6 Yay! I was hungry half the day yesterday because I still haven’t figured out the timing of eating with the earlier night. I think I have everything pinned down now and I’m testing it out today. On the plus though the new schedule does seem to be helping my sleep since I’m now getting up at 3am so my husband isn’t waking me up when he gets ready to go to work. Also, my house is never cleaner, who knew that it takes half the time to clean when kids, dogs, and mother in law aren’t getting in the way.

Round 101, 18th Round for Me
Starting Weight: 285.0 lbs
Goal Weight: 283.0 lbs
Additional goal for this round: commit to more strength training / cardio at the gym.
Day/Weight/Goal Progress/Comment
01/08: 284.6 lbs (-0.4) … down a little. Staying within budget (or very close, and still within budget when considering exercise) for the past several days. Hopefully I’ll see a bigger drop in the near future. I was too tired to go to the gym this morning before work, but I went yesterday so today would have just been a “bonus” day.
01/09: 286.8 lbs (+2.2) … late dinner the night before and was a bit more snacky than I should have been in the evening. Got in a strength training session after work. I had thought to do some cardio afterward, but my legs were too tired (right calf muscle was spasming when I tried running).
01/10: 284.9 lbs (-1.9) … partial recovery from yesterday’s uptick. Was exhausted this morning and skipped a planned trip to the gym this morning to run. Hopefully I can find the motivation to do it this evening instead (nope, didn’t happen).
01/11: 285.1 lbs (+0.2) … up a tiny bit, but that’s fine. I’ve had a good day today so far, getting in both a strength session and a cardio session at the gym. With only 750 calories in at 3pm and feeling full still, this should be a lighter day calorie-wise.
01/12: 285.9 lbs (+0.8)
01/13: DNW. Got in a strength training session at the gym.
01/14: 286.9 lbs (+1.0) … ate fairly light yesterday, so hopefully I’ll see a drop again tomorrow. I was sore as heck yesterday from the gym on Saturday so maybe it’s water retention. Feeling much better today thankfully.
01/15: 287.2 lbs (+0.3) … sigh. Too snacky / hungry again yesterday. I’m likely up because I ate right before bed (which I need to stop), but I still ate around or under maintenance.
01/16: 284.7 lbs (-2.5) … sigh. This time, it’s a sigh of relief, ha.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 – 124.2 – Been doing good with the calories and better with the water. Haven’t had a chance to do any walking/jogging since Saturday-things have been crazy at work and I really don’t want to go by myself after dark.
01/09 – 123.2
01/10 – 123.2
01/11 – 122.2 - !!!
01/12 – 122.6
01/13 – 123.0 – I was good until around dinner time, then I just kept wanting to snack. I still wasn’t too bad and I am still happy with where I am. I am ok with gaining and bouncing around since I am in maintenance, but it has definitely been an adjustment from always wanting to see a lower number.
01/14 – 123.4 – I was craving potato wedges yesterday and gave in, got it out of my system and still didn’t do too bad.
01/15 – 123.2 – I have been craving peanut butter lately, eating a small spoon for my “bedtime snack”
01/16 – 122.2
