Round 102 (24 for me)
Wrapping up my break this weekend and moving ahead into a new semester. As much as I’ve enjoyed the time off, I’m excited to meet my students and take on a new set of experiences and challenges.
I’ve been playing around with my calorie allowance lately, starting to transition to a smaller deficit and slower rate of weight loss. I’ll continue to make adjustments as I add to my exercise routine this spring. The key for me is to make small changes that fit my lifestyle and are sustainable long term.

Daily goals for this round:
1) Stay hydrated.
2) Log carefully and maintain a calorie deficit.
3) Walk or exercise 30+ minutes.
4) Cross something off my "to do" list

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 – 172.0 – Good to start with a drop, even though it’s only back to where I started the last round. Lazy Saturday, but I got a lot of reading done before watching a movie with my husband. Wine and chocolate put me a bit over on calories.
01/19 – 172.6 – Too many calories. Didn’t bother to log, but I did manage to squeeze in a walk with my grandson.
01/20 – 173.2 – Post-weekend bounce and early weigh-in. Last day of my winter break. Grandkids had off from school, so we spent a couple of hours at the rec center and then baked chocolate chip cookies. Had two still warm from the oven, and then sent the rest home with the boys. Still stayed under my calorie limit, and I have lots of healthy meals planned for the rest of the week.
01/21 – 172.2 – Headed back down, but maybe not steadily. I’d planned to cook, but my meeting ran late and I wound up getting takeout again. Still well under my calorie limit, but pretty salty, so we’ll see what the scale says tomorrow. Met with the trainer today for my fitness assessment and workout plan.
01/22 – 173.0 – Well, that what pastrami, cole slaw, and a pickle will do, but I’m getting tired of riding this roller coaster. Under my calorie limit and macros all in the green today. Short indoor walk and got a few chores done.
01/23 – 173.4 – Sigh… Feeling stuck and a little discouraged, but determined to stick with the plan.
01/24 – 173.0 – Grandkids had the day off from school so my daughter and I took them to a museum this afternoon. I was up early, so I managed to get a few things done around the house before I left. Fast food lunch and dinner with my sister’s family tonight. Logged it all and came in just under maintenance calories.
01/25 – 172.6 – Back down to my ending weight from the last challenge. I’d love to see even a small loss at the end of this round. Rained all day, so I didn’t get a walk, but I did a few errands, stayed hydrated, and met my calorie goals.

Day/Weight/Comment

18 jan: 84.9 kg; Probably not very realistic.... slept in, so late weigh-in. Came home very, very tired after work yesterday, so no workout done. Had more water intake during the day, had some extra steps, but not happy with the total amount and above all, I ate above my calorie goal. But, today is a new day
19 jan: 84.9 kg; maybe it is a bit realistic... worked around the house yesterday, cleaned, run some errons and relaxed. Love the weekends.
20 jan: 85.1 kg; back to normal weig-in time.
21 jan: 85.6 kg; no words....
22 jan: 85.9 kg: 😱 teambuilding, 5 course Italian meal cooking togheter with pesto, ravioli, lots of cheese, tiramisu, cookies and so on. Was fun, but way tooooo much kcal!
23 jan: 85.5 kg; normal day, normal eating, back on track
24 jan: 86.0 kg; busy day at work, didn't drink enough, ate too much chocolate and other sweet stuff out of boringness en being tired in the evening.....
25 jan: 85.5 kg; better, much better
26 jan: 85.5 kg; Walked an hour and a half, stayed in kcal goal. Today will be about the same (I think

Current weight: 203.0
Goal weight: 140
January goal: 198
10 day goal: Lose 3lbs and keep under sodium macro.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18: 202.0 Weight is off to a good start this round, but my sodium intake was still too high yesterday.
01/19: 201.2 Yes! And I kept under my sodium macro, too!
01/20 200.0
01/21: 200.8 I felt sick all day yesterday because of pms, so I gave into my carb cravings. Honestly, I expected my weight to be much worse. Not that I’m unhappy!
01/22: 201.8 I was very good all day...until my sister and her boyfriend made a surprise visit with CiCi’s pizza and brownies (my favorite poison!). It was worth the price!
01/23: 199.5 Hello there, one hundreds! I have missed you!! Sugar intake was a little high yesterday, but my sodium intake was right on point.
01/24: 199.6 As long as I stay in the one hundreds, I am happy! I have been craving chocolate because of my oncoming period, so my sugar intake is still high.
01/25: 197.6 I got a couple of different readings each time I stepped on the scale today; this is the one that seemed more reasonable (all of them were lower). It looks like I need to get a new scale. I have a doctor’s appointment in the next couple of days, too, to discuss my weight, so I will get a more accurate reading there. At least it wasn’t showing me any readings in the 200s!
01/26: 197.8 Enjoyed a lunch out with a friend, though I managed to stay under sodium and sugar intake.

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.

01/18-172 Finally a nice drop🙌
01/19171.8 so glad to see a couple days of loss in a row 🙌
01/20-171.8IF allowed me to eat a burger for lunch and wings for dinner and still stay the same weight today, im cool with that😎
01/21-171.2 sweet. Didn't get a workout in yet this week but calories has been good. Need to drink more water though.
01/22-170.6woohoo
01/23-170.2 first workout of the week yesterday, feeling good about this challenge. Seems like my kiddos are coming down with something, really going to have to stay strong if they get sick, that always throws me off.
01/24-171 not stressing
01/25-171 went over calories yesterday but tracked every bite I took. Proud of that at least. Also my weight stayed the same so im not too stressed. Just have to be smart today
01/26-171.6I think this is from my over indulgence a couple days ago and also my salty dinner last night 😅

Day/Weight/Comment

1/18 165.2lbs, 35.8%bf; 7h50m/89 - finally went to get some antibiotics for this bronchitis! Not worried about the gain - had a lot of beer and a LOT of sodium Thursday night. Drank a bunker of water. Still trending in the right direction.
1/19 164.2lbs, 35.5%bf; 7h55m - all that water did its job. 😊 Had a good day, got some stuff done and watched an AMAZING hockey game. 🦅🏒
1/20 164.6lbs, 35.6%bf; 8h13m/89 - needed that sleep!
1/21 164.4lbs, 35.6%bf; 7h10m/80 - good workout, long day at work, good night once I got home. All in all, a good day.
1/22 163.4lbs, 35.3%bf; 6h36m/79 - won't be shocked if I jump up a bit and slowly come back down.... that seems to be my pattern. Still... I don't hate this.
1/23 163.4lbs, 35.3%bf; 5h32m/71 - worst sleep in a while... have been feeling down this week. Need the weekend to reset, but it will be a busy one.
1/24 163.0lbs, 35.2%bf; 8h2m/90 - caught up a little on sleep, but still feel sluggish and a little blue. Big day with lots of people-ing on for today.
1/25 163.4lbs, 35.3%bf; 6h58m/78 - my typical pattern... lots to do today, but no eating out, so should be able to adjust.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/18: 220.9 Oh, happy day! This challenge is really helping me keep my focus on healthy choices all day. Not always successful, but way more tuned in than before the challenge.

1/19: DNW Just taking a rest day away from the scale. Be back tomorrow!

1/20: 222.7
1/21: 222.4
1/22: 221.5 Almost back to where I was when starting this round. Why do I sabotage myself when I see real progress and the goal within sight? Focusing on making that 10-day goal number. Eyes on the prize!
1/23: 221.4 Inching along. Can I make my goal?? Oh, please!!
1/24: 222.2
1/25: 222.1 Very disappointed with this. I went off the rails last Saturday morning when I ate out with a friend and did a painting class, but that was it and got back on track by the afternoon. This week I've had an awful time with arthritis pain so maybe the inflammation is storing fluid. Who knows? Still at it exercising every day even though I want to just be under a blanket on the couch. I've been on a heating pad for my back almost every day. Rough week. Hoping for a turn around soon.
1/26: 222.6 Not sure what is going on. Very discouraged. Not give up discouraged, but what the heck discouraged.
1/27:

Have a great day!

Aquarian · January 2020

Happy to have a go at this again! Last round I set a goal of 57.9 which I achieved today, one day late. These ten days goal is 57.5 kg realistically, 57 kg if I am being ambitious!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 - 57.9 kg
01/19 - 58.2 kg
01/20 - 58.4 kg (I was out of control with my eating this past weekend. I am determined to be good henceforth).
01/21 - 58.2 kg
01/22 - 57.7 kg (yay! Good healthy diet plus a killer exercise does help)
01/23 - 57.9 kg (surprised with the rise so must be temporary)
01/24 - 57.7 kg ( ate a lot of wholesome food and worked out. I am sick since yesterday and couldn’t workout if I limit my calories. But was still at maintenance eating range).
01/25 - 57.2 kg (sick and no appetite so we will see about how permanent this loss is)
01/26 - 57.0 kg (still sick. Can’t wait for this sickness to be over)

Calories were fine yesterday, but I had lunch out with a friend and I’m sure I got a big sodium blast. This evening we’re going to a tiny pitch in, but I’ll aim for healthy. I’ll have to sample desserts so I don’t insult anyone, but will keep it small. Happy Saturday, all!

1/19/20 - 177.4
It is COLD this morning — 7F, feels like -11. Whee! Wishing you all a comfy, safe Sunday. ❄️🌬☃️

Aaack. I thought I was gaining control and then had ice cream last night. Oh, well, today’s another day and another fresh start.

1/22/20 -178.2
Oh, come on. I was fine on calories yesterday. Maybe it’s the ice cream from Monday. Whatever.

1/23/20 - 177.2
Okay, that’s better.

1/24/20 - 177
It’s a dreary day here — I think this afternoon, after the gym, I’ll curl up with a book. Happy Friday, all!

1/25/20 - 177
I’m ready and a half for spring, and we haven’t even had much snow so far. But it’s cold and dreary. Yuch. Have a good weekend, everyone!

@BSchoberg I was just looking at your round history and wanted to say way to go!! You have been so consistent!!

@deepwoodslady Donna, glad your sugar levels got back where they needed to be and that you are ok! Weight loss is a tricky enough business without the T2D. You are a winner, though, and your dedication will see you through. Hugs!

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m 53.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
Gym weight lifting class 2 x week
Walk +/- 7 miles 3 x week. Goal Weight this Round: 160
Drink plenty of water, alcohol on weekends

1/18-165-I am at the tail end of a cold and can start back to exercising again.
1/19-164-We ate at El Pollo Locol and had the bowl with no rice, not bad.
1/20-165-I was under calories, but sat around too much. Today I’ll try to eat the same way but get some exercise.
Have a good week!
1/21-163- I ate under calories and went for a big walk. I’ll try to do the same today with a meeting and some work.
1/22-161-My 7 mile walk and under calories seems to work.
1/23-163-I was hungry for a hamburger and ate it early in the day, still walked 7 miles, but got the swoosh up....still worth it.
1/24-163-Didn’t eat much until late in the day. Still under calories, just late. No walk because so busy and very sore legs. 😊
1/25-DNW
1/26-164-Long hours in car last two days, and I don’t drink enough water. Went back to old house, one more trip and it should be empty. Glad to be back, hopefully I can get rid of the salt today to show more of a loss tomorrow. I set my goal for this round too low. I was almost there, but life happened. Enjoy your Sunday!

It is wonderful to have all of you here! I have my coffee while I read your posts each morning. 😊

Day/Weight/Comment

01/18 - 387.1 - Good start. Knee pain almost gone. Gonna try a little walking and lifting today.
01/19 - 387.1 - My knee finally feels better, but now I've got on helluva head cold. I'll rest today, but may try a little something later.
01/20 - 386.2 - Still have my cold, but feeling better. Definitely going to the gym today.
01/21 - 385.0 - HUGE jump over the last few days. From illness or changes? I began intermittent fasting on Sunday 15/9 pattern. A little tough without those late night snacks, but mornings aren't too bad if I drink water/sea salt to replace electrolytes, then coffee when I get back from my walk. Gonna focus that first meal @ 10AM on protein and last snack @ 7PM on protein bar.
01/22 - 383.6 - The only major change in the past few weeks has been starting Intermittent Fasting. I don't want to drop too fast, but I also expected a fast initial drop. As long as I can slow it down (w/ more calories in my eating window), I'll be fine.
01/23- 381.2 - OK, even I am a little surprised how well IF seems to work for me. I still have a head cold, so little exercise, at all. This weight loss is all Intermittent Fasting, so, for me, this seems to work very well.
01/24 - 379.8 - And the drop continues. Considering I was over 400 lbs. just before Thanksgiving, I'm very happy. Just getting over this headcold, plus starting Intermittent Fasting almost a week ago, this seems to be MY key.
01/25 - 379.3 - As much as I like losing weight, if the drop continues at this rate I may have to modify Intermediate Fasting and break the fast early one or two days per week. I'll give it one more week and then make those decisions.
01/26 - 380.6 - More of a cheat day regarding diet. But OK, since my weight isn't dropping too fast. Maybe one cheat day per week will keep me from dropping too fast.

Round 102 Daily Recap

1/18 176.0 I've lost 10 pounds! What a great way to start this round. It was time for a slight drop so very happy to see it! I had my doubts because I didn't exercise yesterday, or drink enough water and I made english muffin bread and had one slice, which I was still only 1157 calories. The bread only has 63 calories an oz. What I'm most proud of though is the fact I only ate one slice of bread. NEVER in the past would I have had the willpower or control over my cravings to do this, especially in the evenings! Here's to this being a successful round for all of us!

1/19 176.0 I've had a small cold so hadn't exercised for a few days. Rowed 30 mins this morning. Will be shoveling snow later today. Beautiful Sunday morning with the snow untouched yet and deep blue sky. Have a lovely day all!

1/20 177.0 - Yike, that wasn't easy to write.

It just reminds me that I can't get too excited or too low whichever way the scale goes and watch the trend. First time over 1500 calories in 3 weeks on Saturday - 1671 calories, which isn't too bad. Yesterday was 1391 but too many carbs and too much sodium. I've had a cold so didn't exercise Friday and Saturday but did row yesterday and this morning. Have not drank enough water either. So many things to work on over the next eight days of this round! I'm still happy to be out of the 180's FOREVER!!!!

1/21 177.0 Okay, I guess this is the weight I'm going to have to work with

What I did well: Before, I would have been binging and off my 'diet' for weeks by now and especially if my weight went up. The fact I'm still encouraged and sticking to it I am EXTREMELY grateful! I held my calories at 1573 and rowed. I appreciate the small changes that aren't scale related like the fact my clothes fit better.
What I didn't do well: I did not drink water. I ate too many carbs. I made chicken soup for my cold a few days ago and did not have low sodium chicken broth so too much sodium. I haven't done IF for a few days. I haven't had enough vegetables or fruit.
So, I'm throwing down a challenge to myself by writing down all my goals for today on tomorrow's date and I will have to take them off if I don't do them

1/22 175.9 I wrote these goals down yesterday to get back on it and did it! 64 oz of water _Yes_; 4 vegies _YEP_; 2 fruit: _Yes_ (my favorite: frozen blueberries, raspberries and milk in a blender - so good)_; stayed under 1200 calories: _1180_; rowed: _Yes_; turn on favorite songs and dance for 10 mins (because music makes everything better!) _Yep_; began IF before 5PM: _did it!_
I felt like I was slowly losing all the good habits I had created over the past 3 weeks. I can handle my weight fluctuating because that's perfectly normal, as long as I'm doing the right things; however, what got me over the past 3 to 4 days was I could tell I was starting to slip back into my old ways and know from experience this leads to me binging and falling off entirely for weeks, and gaining all my weight back to boot. Not this time, though. I caught myself, learned it's okay if I'm off a few days (it doesn't mean I blew it) and I don't have to be so damn rigid - just get right back to eating healthy and exercising. Goodness, losing weight really is as much about your mental/emotional health as it is physical, isn't it...?! AND working on both is necessary!

1/23 175.0 - Yesterday was another good day. Calories: 1181 / Rowing: 30 mins / Vegies: 4 / Fruit: 2 / Water 50 oz (ok, not great) / IF 17 hours. Made it thru 3 or 4 days of feeling like I was about to cave - glad to be on the other side of that!

1/24 175.4 IF 17 hrs / Calories: 1080 1181 (correcting my calories for yesterday) / Free Weights

1/25 175.2 Wasn't going for IF today but ended up with 15 hours. My number of hours for IF is always based on my fast ending when I have 1/2 cup of whole milk in my tea (yes,1/2 a cup in a 1 cup of tea - my husband laughs when I pour a 'splash' of milk in it. LOL). It's 75 calories but I usually don't eat until 2 or 3 hours later. Had a really good day again yesterday - rowed 30 mins, lots of vegis, some fruit and pretty good on water - not great. 1170 calories which seems to be naturally where my body wants to be around right now. I was eating bread but I've stopped for now because I hate when I use calories on it when I could have so much more of something else and not get hungry later. I have my eyes on one thing right now - I want to see 160's again!!

Ultimate goal 135 lbs.

Round 101 End/Round 102 start weight: 163.6 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 163.6 lbs

01/19 162.2 lbs We were having a blizzard so in order to get my steps in I walked 5 miles in my house with family home, pretty sure they think I am crazy. Not going to kid myself that this is going to stay but hoping this means I am closer to my goal for this month.

01/20 163.4 lbs Hubby wanted breakfast, so I cooked and he wanted me to eat with him, which meant I broke my fast to early in the day and I knew we were going out for pizza and beer with friends in the evening but it was too long of a time to wait between and I ended up snacking and going over my calories. But it was a great day with family and friends and we need those days too, mentally. Still no exercise except snowmobiling but we are suppose to warm up above zero this week, hoping to do some cross country sking.

01/21 165.0 No idea what happened here. around 1200 calorie, made it 10,000 steps, IF from 8pm to noon. I wish I could exercise more. No access to a gym, hoping to ski today because it's too icy to walk.

01/22 162.8 lbs I did try sking but it was windy and raw on the face, snow is not the greatest but made it a mile. Hoping to ski with friends this afternoon, wind should be less.

01/23 164.4 lbs. Skied three miles.

01/24 163.8 lbs. Skied three miles. Under calories. IF 16 hours, if I haven't skied, I have been walking 2 miles and doing a workout this week. I can not believe all this up and down. What am I a bobber, at least I am not sinking. Though, this is the hibernating season and I usually gain and then the other seasons on the farm are so busy no time to do anything extra or eat and I loose winter weight, so I just have to remind myself that I should lose other weight this summer.

01/25 162.0 lbs. Skied two and half miles, a little breezy and cold. More wind expected today. I am surprised at this weight because I skipped supper and had a bowl of ice cream to stay under calorie. But was ok for calories.

01/26 161.4 lbs It was drizzling and making ice yesterday so probably no sking for a while now. Why can't the weather cooperate.

I'm still behaving like I've lost the key to my brain with carbs. Miraculously calories remain under control; likely because I'm not snacking.
While my goal is fasting a few days weekly I'm not there yet. I've been mixing different fasting methods. Eating less frequently has reduced episodes of compulsive eating.
This round I'm getting the carbs back under control. I'm also working on my fasting hours in hope of finding a workable routine.

01/24. 173.6
If anyone remembers what a record is my comments sound like a broken one. Carbs only yesterday but well below my calorie limit. Quick & easy with no prep or clean up. I'm bloated and retaining water as expected. However, I managed 20 hours fasting with a four hour eating window.

A decent meal plan was in my head but no prep so it was bread & butter substitute and a cookie. I need to get a day ahead of meal time. Otherwise I'll keep grabbing what's easy because I really want a meal within my eating window.

I'll keep working on it until I get it right. Hoping to make a 16-20 hour fasting period followed by a good full meal my norm.

01/25 173.8
Carb control at last but my calories have been too low even on the high carb days. I have a good meal plan but I've been a total space cadet managing it.

There's so much to keep on top of at the moment but the fat won't come off until I properly work my plan. I'm not focused because of urgent issues. Some deadlines are more costly than a botched meal plan. However, I've been sure to weigh daily and keep my food diary up to date.

01/26 - 147.5 - This is unusual as TOM should be here any day now (surprised it hasn't show its ugly head in my weight, bloat, or general grogginess yet). Another new low for me. I know this needs to slow down at some point and when it does, I very much expect a jump up in weight. Between my IF and attempting to go as paleo/primal as possible, I wonder if I am not eating enough. Have been mindfully eating but I may have to start logging again to ensure I am getting enough. This never used to be a problem for me! I used to always overeat! I also need to focus on my water. I definitely spaced on drinking enough yesterday and had a headache most of the day for it. No headache yet so I'm drinking water while my coffee cools enough to drink. I'm sure rehydrating properly will also cause a bump up, but I'm okay with it. This pace is unhealthy and less likely to stick!

Previous Day's Comments

01/19
01/20
01/21 - Not at all bad for as long as its been. It was so ridiculously nice outside all weekend and my interview went well. Came back to "feels like" temps in the negatives so not happy about that. Have a phone interview today with a different place but I think I may be getting an offer letter in the next few days from yesterday's interview (based on what my recruiters said after he spoke with the company). We shall see. Nervous as all get out because I think I want the job they're interviewing me for today more than yesterday's but I don't want to turn down the first one and not end up getting the second one. And I have someone supposedly interested in me but haven't heard from them to set up an interview yet. Goal: DON'T STRESS EAT AS MUCH AS I WANT TO
01/22 - Salty, salty, salty. I had Chinese last night since I ended up working over yesterday and didn't have anything at home to make (I didn't pull anything out of the freezer, oops). Oh well, it'll go back down quickly if I don't fall off the wagon again.
01/23
01/24 - I didn't get a chance to post yesterday but I weighed in. Seems like today the sodium water weight dropped off and I'm back down. Really excited for it. Yesterday morning I woke up at 1am freaking out that I missed one of my interviews I had forgotten about. Turns out, that's here in about 10 minutes. Another video/telephone interview on Monday and I got called for an in person second interview with the company I interviewed with this past Tuesday. That will happen the 3rd. Its so exciting and nerve-wracking. But it definitely is keeping me on track with weight loss because there will be lots of beach days if I move to Texas before the summer and I want to be able to wear a swimsuit confidently and not panic or freak out every time.
01/25 - Whoa there, body! I was not expecting that, especially as this is a low I haven't seen since I started creeping up after my injury! Apparently the sodium retention for the last few days covered up some additional lost. I thought yesterday's weight was the water weight dropping but apparently there was more hiding! Not that I'm complaining at all. I expect a blip, this seems almost too quick a drop to not bump up a bit. Need to focus on rehydrating as I've been horrible lately (especially Thursday since I was traveling and weather was coming in as I drove the 2 hours home. Didn't want to stop to pee and get stranded!) Today is the day. I'm feeling a bit bored being alone in my house so I'm playing catch-up on my HOME practice (Yoga with Adriene). I am behind 10 days right now due to my food poisoning as well as my trip to Texas. I'm planning on doing 4-5 practices throughout the day today and again tomorrow as I have no plans. I have done 2 thus far so 2-3 more with breaks in between will not be difficult so long as I listen to my body. These 2 I've done so far have been SUPER refreshing and I feel recentered from the madness already. Definitely missed it. I want to get caught up so I can start a new journey come February and continue. I feel so much better when I stick to it (though getting started after about 10 days off has been a mental battle, I won this round!) Obviously, if my body says no, I'll just start a little late in February and catch up as I feel better. Sometimes, though, one practice doesn't quite feel like enough so weekends are great to start AND end my day with one and I don't feel overwhelmed.

01/26- 147.8 Lots of exercise this weekend so my carbs are up to support this, thus I’m holding on to a little more water. But I’m super happy. This month I’ve dropped about 4lbs but combined with all of the muscle I put on this fall my body is really changing dramatically. I’ve had a lot of people notice the loss and I’m like “for real? It’s just 4lbs, how can you tell?” It is reassuring that the months with no loss and so much work are paying off.

01/19 189.8 43.2% BF
01/20 190.0 43% BF Well wrong direction but it's that TOTM so hopefully will be seeing a whoosh here in the next couple of days. This is week 2 back at the gym after a long december off and I need to remember that it usually takes my body 3 weeks to acclimate to that.
01/21 189.8 42.7% BF 1654 calories total yesterday. At least the scale was under 190. Drinking a lot of water and tea today, staying below 1500 cals with plenty of vegetables.

01/22 189.6 42.4 % BF 1678 calories total. went a bit above my plan bc I decided to have some wine and chocolate after dinner. Woke up this morning with a fever and chills so I skipped the gym and taking it easy all day. Hopefully tomorrow will turn the corner with that! I wanted chicken noodle, but didn't have the correct supplies so made vegetable beef soup instead.

01/23 189.4 43% BF scale still stuck and I'm still sick! Body feels better but sneezing and coughing, lame. Final calorie count yesterday 1496. Drinking extra tea and water today. Aiming for < 1500 today as well.

01/24 189.2 41.3% BF total calories 1600... Basically a repeat of yesterday but a little better on the cold front anyway. I left room in my calories to have some wine tonight. That should help my cold, right? lol

01/25 188.4 43.1% BF total calories 1521 this is closer to my targeted range, but I ate a not very nutritional dinner as I was having a girls night. oh well staying under maintenance is the goal and I had spinach and raspberries with breakfast to balance out salty snacks. Glad to see scale is finally moving but my trend tracker is still pointing up. hope the weight sticks so it will point DOWN instead.

01/18: 282.9 lbs (-0.3) ... Down a bit more today. Hopefully I’m done with my eating struggles and can stay on the right path going forward.

01/19: 281.3 lbs (-1.6) … Nice little whoosh there. Let’s see if I can hold onto it! This is my first new low weight since late November.

01/20: 281.3 lbs (no change)

01/21: 282.6 lbs (+1.3) … Up a little. Still on track with my eating plan so it’s just a fluctuation rather than anything to worry about.

01/22: 281.6 lbs (-1.0) … And away most of that fluctuation goes. Much better than I expected, since dinner was a bit carb-heavy (rice) and later than usual.

01/23: 281.3 lbs (-0.3) … I keep seeing this number this round!

01/24: 282.1 lbs (+0.8) … Small uptick. We ate dinner a bit late last night. I was within budget though, so it’s nothing to worry about. To be honest, I’m just glad I’m bouncing around 281-282 rather than higher!

01/25: 280.6 lbs (-1.5) … another new low! Getting closer to -110, which is a major goal for me. Once I surpass -110, I’ve lost more weight than I did back ten years ago.

01/26: 280.3 lbs (-0.3) … and another. Plus I’m down another pant size as of this morning.

01/27:

Challenge delta: -2.9 lbs
Total Weight Loss: 106.3 lbs

@GrandmaJackie Thank you for posting the next round!

@CamandJarvis I would track but if you are below calories or macros-whatever anyone is tracking- don’t make yourself eat just to hit the numbers. I had a day recently that my numbers weren’t right but by averaging the 2 consecutive days, I was right on. Trust your body.

@fmfdfa2020 Have you tried heavy cream in your tea? It has fewer carbs than milk, you would use less, and the increased fat might keep you satisfied even longer.

@deepwoodslady I’m wondering if a small planned protein snack (still staying within your macros or calories) might help you BS. Our bodies can make glucose if we aren’t eating it. Not sure how this works with the whole T2D situation though. Still trying to research a solution.
