Thanks 🤗 loads Jackie (@GrandmaJackie) and Molly (@IsMollyReallyHungry) and everyone else who helps keep these rounds going. I'd lost sight of how inspiring daily posts can be.
I appreciate everyone who participates. You all help keep me accountable and motivated.

172.6 starting weight for round 103

Day/Weight/Comment

01/28 172.6
This year I saw numbers I never believed I'd see again. I'm back below the obesity mark and intend to stay. Ten years ago I promised myself no birthday or gastric bypass "surgiversary" would find me obese again. I'm revising this to overweight.
Only 28lbs separate overweight and obese and 33lbs a solid normal 24 BMI and obese. Going forward overweight per the charts is no longer acceptable to me.It's not about the charts. I experience changes with even small shifts in body fat.
This round I want to reduce blood pressure and heart rate. I'll only achieve this in the 160's and below. I'll lose as much as I can this round. Low carb, fasting, & fat burning exercise will get me there.
01/29. 173.2.
As much as I hate seeing the scale go up I'm comforted with the knowledge that I weighed in with a belly full. When I weigh at my heaviest time of day I've got a built in psychological cushion.
Yesterday and today where planned totally free days. Yay me, I fasted over 18hrs yesterday and maintained calorie control both days. This fasting/ restricted eating protocol helps me with appetite control. It's a big plus that I've come to enjoy it. No hunger and it just feels right. My appetite returns when it's time to eat usually after 16-18hrs.
01/30. 171.6
I'm praying I'll be in the 160's before my next medical in a couple of weeks. Today's eating has been nutritional crap giving me three days of high sodium, sugar & flour.
The sodium is no issue when balanced with sufficient potassium. I'm all good once I'm eating my greens again. Sugar and flour are my personal kryptonite. It's going to take the weekend for me to get these out of my system.
Fingers crossed, the weekend recovery period will win me a pound or two of water weight loss. I'm back on low carb and watching my water intake.
Getting enough is easy for me. My problem is getting too much then needing diuretics. I've been warned but the sipping habit is hard to break. Beverages are a great substitute when I want to nibble.
No time to read this thread over the last few days but I'll catch up this weekend. Wishing you all well and thanks for all of your much needed support.
01/31. 172.2
I've been mis behaving terribly leaving me feeling bloated and cranky. Once again calories low and macros crap. I really have to haul @$$ to drop the water weight over the weekend. My scrambled brain is overwhelmed making food an afterthought. That keeps the calories down but instead I eat what's easy instead of what's good.
02/01. 170.6
I'm seeing light at the end of this tunnel and I'm sure it's not a vehicle about to mow me down. I'll soon be out of the 170's in spite of myself.
It's very early for me to post my day but time is scarce. I'm declaring that I will stick to my plan today. If I do not it makes me a liar. Of course I am a liar but I reserve my lies for when it really counts. 😜
02/02 170.8
Damn that road to hell paved with good intentions! Perhaps I should start with my personal evils so I'll be lead to my personal good. Once again I went with easy over nutrition.
Won't give up can't give up. Calories & fasting periods are under control and I will beat the carb monster too.
02/03. 170.6
Net carbs were awesome yesterday so my high total carbs may be excused given it is mostly fiber. Protein was way down because my calories were low due to a short eating window and a long fasting period. I'm still carrying water weight but if I can stay off of the flour and sugar I'll finally break through to the 160's.

02/04. 169.0
I'll pat myself on the back for 20 fasting & under 4 fed hours for the day but I'm also scolding myself. This is the longest I've been over my low weight in nearly ten years. I should never have let this annual yo-yo thing begin. Back to basics all day every day will keep me within my optimal weight range. This is my lifetime diet. Still, I'm overjoyed to see the 160's again.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 173.4 – Met my goals today, but had a high sodium lunch. Scratchy throat - Hope I’m not coming down with another cold.
01/29 – 173.4 – Holding steady. Gorgeous sunny day, so I was hoping to walk at the beach. Lost my voice after teaching back-to-back classes, so I skipped the walk on the windy boardwalk, did a couple of quick errands, and headed home to make a pot of tea and do some grading. Fortunately, I don’t have any classes tomorrow. Well under my calorie limit and drinking lots of extra fluids. Hoping that and an early night help me get back up to speed quickly.
01/30 – 172.6 – Nice to see another drop bringing me back to where I started the last round. Felt great after my gym session this morning. However, my 2-hr training workshop this afternoon required a lot more speaking than I’d anticipated, so my voice is even more strained. I seriously need to rest it tomorrow. Met my calorie, hydration, and exercise goals. If I do a quick load of laundry tonight, it’ll be a clean sweep
01/31 – 172.6 – January was a challenging month, but I’m happy to be ending it at a slightly lower weight than I started. This was my first week of really utilizing the campus gym, and it’s gone well but has eaten up a lot of time. The key will be keeping it up as the semester gets busier. My voice is on the mend, helped by lots of herbal tea and a bit of honey. Skipped the wine tonight and made a simple dinner with berries for dessert, banking some calories for the weekend.
02/01 – 171.6 – Woosh! Nice way to start a new month. Cool and dreary day, but my husband and I walked the marsh trail in the park after lunch. It was great to get out, even though we kept it short because DH isn’t a fan of damp, chilly weather. Made some progress on chores this afternoon and stayed within my calorie limit, even with a post-dinner snack of wine and chocolate.
02/02 – 171.8 – Managed to fit in another short walk at the park before my daughter and her family arrived for lunch. Went about 250 calories over today, but I’d banked plenty this week. The high sodium, however, will probably get me and I’ll likely see a bump up tomorrow. Not too worried though, as I’ve learned to take those fluctuations in stride. Just more reason to get right back on track.
02/03 – 171.8 – Honestly surprised not to be up today, but no complaints! A gorgeous, unseasonably warm day, so I opted for a walk at the beach rather than the gym. Lunch out with my daughter, but I had a lighter dinner and met my calorie goal. Got some laundry done and made a dent in the never-ending grading. Overall, a good day with all goals met.
02/04 – 171.8 – Another unseasonably warm day, like a promise of Spring! Tuesdays are my busiest day, but I made it to the gym between classes and even got to take a short walk outdoors when the sun came out. My NSV was discovering I could grade HW on my phone while keeping up a good pace on the recumbent bike – woo hoo! Only works for simple scoring or marking work complete, but what a timesaver! Met my hydration and calorie goals too

Round 103 – I am in!!!
Female, 42, 5’9”, Central Ohio

1/1/19: 213.4
1/1/20: 209.5
UGW 170

Round102: EW 203.7 (-6.4)
Round103: EW ???.?
01/26 – 201.6
01/27 – 203.7

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 203.7 (0); Monday info: 1784 steps, 1 of 12, 5hr44m (74): I am NOT going to lie. I took a mental health day from work b/c I just couldn’t face the world. I hate the cold weather. I have been going non-stop for what feels like too long. I didn’t track a single item. I ate like crap. I sat on my butt all day. I had just had enough and needed a break. Bleh! **Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of my system…back to the grind. All better now. 😊

01/29 – 204.1 (+0.4); Tuesday info; 7035 steps, 8 of 12, 5hr40m (73): Trying to pick myself up off the floor and get 100% back on track has proven difficult (which is normal). I was swamped at work all day which is probably the only reason I managed to get over 7K in steps. I felt like I was running all over the office like a crazed nutjob. I managed to track 2 meals and then faltered at home. (Missed journaling yesterday as well.)

01/30 – 204.9 (+0.8); Wednesday info: 5286 steps, 8 of 12, 5hr18m (71): No provider at work so we had all day in-service with our soon to retire manager and our brand new manager who is taking over 100% on Monday. Lots of tears as our office has been through A LOT with our retiring manager in the last 3+ years. I only managed to track breakfast. Taco bar potluck during the meeting. Skipped the desserts! #win (Just realized that I’m getting close to “shark week” so I’m PMS’ing. NomNomNom StressStressStress)

01/31 – 202.5 (-2.4); Thursday info: 5132 steps, 7 of 12, 6hr5m (78): Pretty standard long day at work. Trying to do Greek yogurt and my protein drink for breakfast instead of buying bagel/cream cheese at the Bistro in my building. The protein drink is 24oz of water and seems to hold me thru to lunch at 1:30pm. I’ve packed my lunch every day (instead of buying at the Bistro). I skipped my office party for retiring manager which meant no eating out! Also, did NOT have any diet pop after work! Trying to get more water in.

02/01 – 201.7 (-0.8); Friday info: 5303 steps, 8 of 12, 5hr12m (71); Friday was an odd day. Partial day of work and then office closed to attend my manager’s big retirement party. I stayed away from the cake and had some healthy finger foods. Friday night is always the night that my Dad’s side of the family gets together for dinner. This time it was Old Bag of Nails. I did the chicken cobb salad with balsamic dressing (usually I’m a blue cheese fan). I had one bottle of Diet Coke (with breakfast at work). Water at dinner and tea at home. Yay! ((My barn friends don’t drink pop so they have been ragging on me A LOT about it lately.))

02/02 – 200.5 (-1.2); Saturday info: 2459 steps, 4 of 12, 8hr52m (84); Saturday I was stuck at home. My trainer cancelled barn day due to questionable weather for those of us who travel. I didn’t really track much after breakfast and wasn’t mindful about house-walking when my Fitbit alerted me to get up and move on the hour. I was either reading or watching movies. This is typical when I am stuck at home and it is cold outside. This is just life.

02/03 – 203.1 (+2.6); Sunday info: 2053 steps, 4 of 12, 6hr27m (82); Sunday was an extremely lazy day. I was up late watching movies (like 2am) and didn’t set an alarm to get up so it was after noon before I came downstairs. I ate whatever and didn’t really walk much. I did attempt to get my 250 steps/hr for my Fitbit a few times before the Super Bowl started. Now this is my typical Sunday. While I don’t count it as a cheat day, it’s more of a day where I don’t feel I have to be 100% accountable if I don’t want to be. Not all Sundays are this bad. I usually pick myself up and get back into my tracking routine on Monday.

02/04 – 201.8 (-1.3); Monday info: 7119 steps, 4 of 12, 5hr52m (76); Monday was a LONG day at work. Must have been at my desk quite a bit. We started a new fitness challenge that is company-wide so I’m attempting to increase my steps and ride the recumbent bike. Back on track with my eating. Logged 100% yesterday. Still not getting to bed when I should. Are we getting ready for Round 104?

Total for the round: -1.9

SarahG626 · February 2020

@deepwoodslady Oh Donna!!!!!! I sure do hope you get back to feeling 100%. Sending you my thoughts, prayers, and a few hugs too!

Started a very low calorie diet on Jan 17. I have ended each of the last 5 years heavier than I have ever been before. Have a very complicated, very unhappy relationship with food. Am hoping taking the thinking and choice out of it - by focusing on low-calorie ready meals - can help me get where I am trying to go.

Challenge GW: 166
GW: 130
At the moment I'm working on having a calorie deficit diet and portion control. Hope to incorporate more exercise.

01/28 - 169.2
01/29 - 168.5 - ~1400cals and hardly any snacking. Will try to work on moving more.
01/30- 168.4 ~1400 again and no exercise but my smartwatch should be arriving soon and will hopefully motivate me. With little ones it just gets so busy or am I just making excuses.
01/31 - 168.2 ~1600cals. Ended up having chicken pie for dinner as hadn't prepped anything Sleep: 6hr32mins. Steps: 5000
02/01 - 168.2 I do think my scales are playing up though I got a few different weights this morning. 168.0-168.4. Started the treadmill even though it was for a measly 15 minutes but still a start. Ate around ~1700cals so need to rein that in if I want to see significant losses.
Sleep:8hrs steps: 7000
02/02 168.2. Again. pretty much on track with food and went for a walk that I felt so much better for so quite disappointed with the non moving scales. Sundays are always at my familys for dinner so preparing for a gain. sleep: 7.5 hours steps: 8000
02/03 - 167.8. 1500cals. Kept myself in check at the dinner but still struggling to get the exercise in. Steps-2500 sleep: 7 hours
02/04 - 168.2. 1400cals. Been on track. Steps: 6000. Sleep. 6.5hrs
02/05- 167.2. 1400cals. Step: 6000. Sleep: 7.5hrs

@StatChicBayes - congrats on your anniversary and acheivements during the year x

@deepwoodslady - if that is any where near the gall stones attack pain that I used to experiance before I had my gall bladder & stones removed I really sympathise, it's the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. I managed my stones for 10 years with a very very low fat diet as my Dr. would not refer me for surgery whilst I was 5 stone over weight as he considered it to risky to have a general anaesthetic. Eventually the gall bladder/stones refused to play ball with the diet and started flaring up randomly even when I hadn't wandered from the diet, the surgery was a walk in the park compared to the attacks. I recommend you to go for medical intervention, the unneccessary pain is not worth it !!

Female age 61 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

This round goal to just lose - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking & refrain from attacking the cookie jar and left over Christmas chocolates – plan is to put them in DH lunch box each day 'til they're gone!! - there are still residual bits hanging around hubby will have finished them by end of this week!

Day/Weight/Comment

01/28 136 – 3.84 miles walked only yesterday – still off plan following loss of my Dad 3 days ago. Got my head together this morning & back in the game, hope to be able to get 9 mile walk in today in between phone calls, making arrangements etc. regarding Dads passing.
01/29 134.4 8.93 miles walked yesterday, good to be back on track, all macros and calories well in green. NSV – didn't turn to food when I was frustrated with red tape & bureaucracy regarding delay in issue of Dad's death cert to finalize funeral, in fact I didn't even realize that until this morning!!
01/30 134.4 – 11.52 miles walked yesterday, all calories & macros well in green. Finally caught up with all the posts, took me the last 2 days to catch up from the start of the round. Once again, thank you all for all your kind wishes and prayers, can't tell you enough how much this lifts me. This group is the best!
01/31 133.4 – 10.34 miles walked yesterday, calories & all macros in green. All Dad's funeral arrangements finalized albeit can't get fitted in for a further 4 ½ weeks !!?. Feeling more less anxious now.
02/01 133.8 - 9.74 miles walked. Carbs 34 over, but calories & all other macros in green. Come away for a weekend in our caravan for a chilling weekend, we're near to our DD & will be seeing our brand new baby grandson & his cute brother later today ? .
02/02 133.8 - 7.53 miles walked yesterday. Calories 211 over, carbs 49 over. Lovely day with 22 month old DGS#1, took him to a country park, kept him out for 5 hours which gave DD & SIL chance to catch up on 3 hours sleep as tiny baby delightful DGS#2 is sleeping all day and breast feeding all night - well cluster feeding anyway. Such a lovely day.
02/03 133.8 – 7.39 miles walked yesterday, All calories and macros well in green.
02/04 134 – 11.66 miles walked yesterday. Calories & all macros well in green. All Christmas goodies gone, last chocolates in DH's lunch box today.
02/05 133 – 9.02 miles walked yesterday. 561 calories in credit & all macros well in green. If I can maintain this weight to the end of the round I will be well happy !

@NdinonziIris - just a thought - you're on a very low calorie diet and using low calorie ready meals - how much sodium is in those? Is it possible that is causing you not to lose weight? Are they counter productive?

Goals
1 - Track my calories daily
2 - 10.000 steps
3 - Water 1.5l

My main goal this round is to get my daily steps in, also we've started using the stairs at the office (we're on the 6th floor of a shared office building), it's turning into a bit of a challenge between us

I've started doing it at home as well as we live on the 4th floor, but we can't always do that as we often have shopping to bring up.

Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:

01/28 - 151.6 (+0.6) 1225 cal, 11.257 steps, no idea where that gain came from, maybe TOM? I woke up feeling bloated. Anyway I'll just keep on doing my thing

I'm not having much time to do anything but run around getting stuff done. Tonight we're visiting 2 high schools for my daughter as we have to decide for enrollment next week, I think I'll just grab an energy bar somewhere so I don't end up starving and eating the wrong thing at one of the open days treats

01/29 - 150.2 (-1.4) 1174 cal, 8192 steps, that's a bit of a whoosh and a new low although I have no idea why though! Yesterday I hit my calorie goal around 4 pm as I didn't want to eat junk food while running around in the evening, so I'm guessing it's the longer "fast" period that I'm used to (I normally don't eat between 6.30 pm and 9.30 am). Maybe just skipping dinner works for me but I like having my dinner with my daughter in the evening, I'll have to see. Today nothing special planned except that there's more running around tonight so I might skip dinner again.
01/30 - 150.2 (0.0) 1378 cal, 5351 steps, I'm quite surprised that it's the same number as I was over calorie yesterday and not hardly enough steps were done! I'll have to make sure I'm careful today so that it doesn't creep back up on me tomorrow as I've noticed that sometimes it takes 48hrs to show the gains from excess. Today is going to be quiet, I've had a splitting headache since Tuesday which is slowing evolving into a migraine, so I'm going to concentrate on making it through the day till I can get home and crash...
01/31 - 150.2 (0.0) 1181 cal, 8065 steps. Status quo, which is good. I've got a busy social weekend so I expect a gain over the next few days... luckily the round doesn't finish on Monday

02/01 - DNW
02/02 - DNW
02/03 - 152.2 (+2.0) I knew this was going to happen, the weekend was very busy, I didn't log all my food and didn't get to weigh-in, I'll be spending the next few days trying to get down to a more reasonable number before the end of the round.
02/04 - 153.2 (+1.0) 1097 cal, 10016 steps Ok really disappointed here, I even stepped several times on that scale to make sure I was reading correctly

I suppose it's still a backlash from the weekend but as I was under calorie, ate healthy and got my steps in so I thought I'd see a little drop instead of another gain. It certainly didn't put me in a good mood but I suppose I'll just have to get over it and get on with it

02/05 - 150.8 (-2.4) 1002 cal, 7188 steps, it was a relief to see the number drop this morning. Yesterday, I made sure I was under calories, ate healthy and drank lots of water. I'm hoping another day like that will get me down to my desired weight goal for this round then back up to 1200 cal as I think under that number is not so good in the long term for me.

SW: 145.5

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 - 145.5 - I'm a little surprised I'm still up a half pound from last week, but maybe it's from starting the planking. I can definitely feel the muscles burning even though I'm only holding for 20 seconds.
01/29 - 145 - OK, back to last week's weight.
01/30 - 145.5 - I will continue to weigh and log my food daily as I have done most of this month and believe that I will eventually get back below 145. Someday...sigh.
01/31 - 145.5 - Someday...
02/01 - 145.5 - I ended up having an extra carby, sodium filled supper last night, so I'm just glad that didn't hit me this morning. In the meantime, while I wait for my body to catch up with my diet, I'm going to join a challenge for planking. At least that way if the scale isn't moving, I'll feel like I'm accomplishing something.
02/02 - 144.5 - It's been a while since I've seen this number. Super Bowl party tonight, so I don't think I'll see it tomorrow but at least it's a downward trend.
02/03 - 144 - I ate a little bit of everything at the party last night but didn't go overboard. The carbs may hit tomorrow, but this unexpected drop reminds me that I have to work through those plateaus and not get discouraged.
02/04 - 144.5 - I am fine with this little bump from the weekend. Now if I can stay below 145 the rest of the round, I'll be thrilled.
02/05 - 143.5 - Woohoo, I haven't seen this number since before Thanksgiving!

02/04 - 149.3
02/05 - 148.8 - Bounced around between 149.2 and 148.8, settling on the latter. Stepped on a second time, hovered at 149.0 but settled on 148.8. A third time also settled on 148.8. Apparently my scale did not want to wake up this morning either. Snowing when I drove in, but the winter weather advisory was cancelled last night and only supposed to lightly snow for a couple hours this morning. Hopefully it warms up and the drive home doesn't get icy. Didn't have lunch so I brought some of the homemade frozen burritos I bough from a coworker for a fundraiser his kid was having. Better than spending money and eating vending machine food like I did yesterday. Pulled some stuff from the freezer to make chili tonight which should last me the rest of the week at the very least. Did some yoga last night. Finished YWA HOME last night (just had one more to do I kept procrastinating last week). Realized February's calendar isn't really a journey like January so I'm just going to try a video of hers that suits my needs that day and do that instead. Hopefully I can still stay on track doing yoga daily without having a calendar to follow.

Previous Day's Comments

01/28 - Holding steady. TOM finally arrived and so this uptick from my low last round must have a little influence from that. Traveling for work today so a 2 hour commute each way ): At least I get paid mileage reimbursement at a good rate for it. Get to talk to my boss today for a question he had about my pay 2 weeks ago. He didn't approve my pay and the pay window closed yesterday so we get the payout Friday. If I don't get paid Friday, I'm in a very very very bad situation. I'm a little peeved at my boss that I even need to be worried about getting paid Friday. This happened 2 weeks ago today! Why are you bringing it up so late and risking my pay?! Please help me not stress eat... I've been tossing and turning all night, barely got restful sleep. And during those times I tossed and turned, I was absolutely freezing, despite usually being too hot under all those layers.
01/29 - Found my TOM bloat plus some. At a work conference and food is provided. I started getting dizzy and lightheaded so I went to get some food and the only thing available was a donut so I ate that. Then catered Chick-Fil-A (delicious, but not exactly nutritious). Not sure what today's catered lunch will be. Hopefully they have a fruit tray for breakfast again (the fruit was gone by the time I got dizzy) and I'm going to get some early so I can snack once I break my fast (lunch is an hour later than I normally eat it and I break my fast between 1030-11, 11 being the plant's normal lunch break). At least fruit will hold me over an hour. Just have 2 yoga (YWA HOME) practices to do today and I'm all caught up! I really do love it. Calendar should be out today for February. Pretty excited!
01/30 - Back on the downward trend. Got my logistics (flights, hotel, etc) coordinated yesterday for my interview Monday. Apparently the hiring manager is excited about this which makes me nervous and excited (more so than I already was). Lunch ready for today and tomorrow. Have a steak for dinner and a Fire Brigade dinner/awards tomorrow to get me through to Saturday food-wise. Pushing water. I tried to yesterday but it was rough trying to drive home with a full bladder every 2-3 seconds it felt like! Today I'm at my home office so it'll be easier (: Caught up with HOME yoga, today is the last day, tomorrow is close-out. I already have February's calendar printed and I'm going to try to stick with that (pending any life updates). Now time to read and get caught up on everybody over the last 2 days! I was able to post but not read
01/31 - Aaaaand back down. Now lets maintain this for the weekend at the very least. I'd like a drop, but with the travel Sunday and Monday, maintaining would be best for me that way I know I'm doing something right. Maybe I'm odd but I hate using the bathroom on planes so I typically don't hydrate enough when I'm flying (though I always have a water bottle with me to sip on, I know its not enough). Today is a good day. I scheduled payments to pay off one credit card (a whole $25), paid a little more than minimum on the the other credit card (I had paid off with consolidation but car maintenance got me), and made my first payment on my new loan (the consolidation loan. Has no early payoff penalty, lower interest rate, and I don't have to calculate how much I can pay each card each month. Maybe not the best route, but I froze all my credit cards so I can't increase those anymore and I can't increase my loan so it definitely helps me mentally tackle things). I'm feeling extremely positive and today's weigh in just made me feel that much better.
02/01 - Had Fire Brigade Appreciation dinner last night and they catered in fajitas so I'm sure this is a sodium and slightly later than normal dinner time bump. Not at all worried about it. We catered for 20 and there were six of us so we each got to take home some food which I'm about to dig into as I'm well past my fasting time (I got busy/distracted and I'm just now starting to feel a bit hungry). Going to try to weigh in tomorrow morning (will be an early morning, I have to leave my house before the time I normally wake up for work!) but I'll have to remember my weight so I can post once I'm at the airport. I'm so excited to see my BF and the crew, even if only for a few hours, and nervous for this interview all at the same time. Its an odd combination of emotions. Purged a lot of the donation stuff from my house. Only 2 more bags I need to drop off that I didn't have room to take in my car today. Otherwise, its organizing and packing more of the non-essentials just in case Monday goes better than I expect (municipal company so it usually takes a bit longer to go through the hiring process -- don't expect to hear yes or no on the job right away but I'm going to be prepared in case).
02/02 - This is likely a combination of a super late dinner and an early weigh in. If I can stay under 150 during this trip, I'll be content. Have a 3 hour layover in Dallas right now but tomorrow I'll have an hour layover haha it's going to be fun. If the company hadn't booked me in basic economy I could go on standby for an earlier flight but I cannot ): it'd give me way more time to spend with the BF if I could've done that. Oh well, wasn't meant to be I guess.
02/03 - Out of Town
02/04 - Definitely expected to be up, especially after the Superbowl. I was able to hang out with BF and the crew -- had AMAZING food, but made sure small quantities. I also treated myself to Whataburger in the airport during my layover (can't get it up here, only had it twice before in my life) but it was early enough it didn't seem to stay heavy on me. Ate out after my interview at this pizzeria in San Antonio since I had no other food option but to eat out. It was worth it!. I may have some water retention but it seems it wasn't enough to push me over. Travel goal to stay under 150: accomplished! Came back to Kansas and a winter weather advisory. I swear this state hates me lol All bundled up and sleepy-tired today. Have fire brigade training. Hopefully its indoors!

Current weight: 199
Goal weight: 140
January goal: 198
February goal: 189
10 day goal: Lose 2-3 lbs and keep sodium and sugar intake under control

I am so ready to go again! I see my doctor on Tuesday to discuss my weight loss, so I will be able to check how accurate my scale has been and find out if I have been approaching my macros the right way. Looking forward to reading about everyone else’s weight loss/management experience, too!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28: 198.6 Kept under sugar and sodium intake yesterday. I am eager to see what my doctor says today about my efforts!
01/29: 202.0 Sadly it turns out my scale was off by 4 lbs. Still have more work to do! On the bright side, my doctor was thrilled by the STILL SIGNIFICANT weight loss and the changes in my diet, so she was very encouraging about continuing my efforts. I have a new scale now to mark my progress!
01/30: 201.5 See? No worries! I ate well yesterday, I know now that I am losing weight consistently.
01/31: 201.4 I was hoping for a bigger drop, considering how well I kept under my sugar, sodium, and carbs, but at least I have a scale that is consistent now. I stepped on it twice and it showed me the same number.
02/01: 200.4 Yay! I will see the 190s again soon!!
02/02: 200.7 I went over on carbs again. Blame PMS and stress making the cravings unsatisfiable. I’m actually surprised the gain wasn’t more.
02/03: 201.5 Had a good lunch with a friend yesterday, but overdid it in terms of sodium intake. I’m forgiving myself and moving on!
02/04: 200.6 Getting there, getting there...
02/05: 199.6 YES!!!!

R103 137
GW 131

01/28 137 today I will track my calories and go back to the simple dishes. Too much sugar over the past week. I must get this done. I don't need so much food. My body is not so tall and it doesn't feel good. I feel heavy and bloated.

01/29 135. Stayed on track. Day 2 of staying on track. I can do it. All I have to do is plan my meals 😊 and fill up in veggies.

01/30 134 day 3 of staying on track. With very little sugar too. Logged everything. I was a bit sad so maybe that's why I didn't feel like eating 😔 I shouldn't be sad. Yes, things could be better but they also could be very worse. I'm going to be positive today and remember the good.

01/31 134
02/01 134.8 oops. This is what salty fries and ice cream does. Back to the 1200 today. And back to the elliptical finally.

02/2 134.4
02/03 135
02/04 133.8 adjusted my intake to accommodate a piece of cake yesterday, which I weighed and logged. A new thing instead of eating it after reaching 1200! Small victory.

02/05 134.6 more salt than I should have. It will come off. Just have to keep going. I was over 1200 yesterday but it will be fine to get back on track today.

Round 101- SW: 176.4 EW: 173.9; -2.5
Round 102 - SW: 173.9 EW: 171.7; -2.2

Day/Weight/Comment
1/28/20 -171.5 I went to the gym last night. Slightly over calorie goal but satisfied.
1/29/20 - 171.7 Well, I was under my calorie goal yesterday however my dinner did consist of mostly "healthier" options from McDonald's. I'll be going to the gym tonight.
1/30/20 -171.7 I reallyyyyy didn't want to go to the gym last night but I did. Disappointed to not even see a tiny decrease. Oh well. Today is another day.
1/31/20 - 172 Very disappointed again but not discouraged. Going to keep trying! I'm on Day 6 of Intermittent Fasting and was expecting to see some weight loss but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Even with keeping my calorie intake around 1350.
2/1/20 - 171.7 My body must really like this weight. I stayed under my calories yesterday, intermittent fasted, and went to the gym. I’ve NEVER went to the gym on a Friday!
2/2/20 - 172.6 Well I went to Texas Roadhouse last night and had a margarita that had as many calories as my whole meal should have. So i deserve this. Today is a new day.
2/3/20 - 170.4 That is awesome! Stuck to my plan/goals yesterday despite it being the Super Bowl and it looks like it paid off!
2/4/20 - 170 Exercised while playing the Fit Ring Adventure on the Switch last night and it was alot of fun!
2/5/20 - 170.4 Good day! Would really like to break the 160's this round though.

R101 SW 388.2 EW 387.1
R102 SW 387.1 EW 379.1
R103 SW 377.8

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 - 377.8 - The drop continues. IF is definitely working for me. If the rate doesn't naturally slow down, I may have to jump off it occasionally to keep the rate down.
01/29 - 377.6 - A nice, little drop. Bad night of sleep, so I'll take it. Now down 25 lbs. since I started this journey on Nov. 17th.
01/30 - 377.6 - As long as it doesn't rise, I'm ok with that. Might be stress from the job interview.
01/31 - 376.5 - Down one more. Stress from job hunting may be raising my cortisol and slowing my weight loss. I wonder if there's a test for that??? I guess once I find something, we'll see. Still going in the right direction.
02/01 - 376.3 - Still going the right direction.
02/02 - 376.8 - First time since starting IF that weight has gone up. I'm OK with occasional *ups* if the trend is still down. This is all with no exercise of consequence since this congestion from my cold lingers.
02/03 - 375.6 - Back to the drop. Had Belgian waffles for brunch to break my fast @ 16 hours. I was going to try the gym today, but SB kept me up late so...
02/04 - 373.4 - I came really close to my calorie goal for the day, so I don't understand this much of a significant drop. I did go for an after dinner walk, but that shouldn't make this much of a difference.
02/05 - 371.1 - Back to rapid loss. Strange thing is that while on IF, my appetite really hasn't increased from that loss of one meal. It's sometimes hard to eat all those calories in that 8-hour window.

@beachwalker99 I'm a mechanical engineer. Currently I'm focused on performance and combustion. This job I applied for is for reliability with a hint of performance (reliability is still something I do currently, but not my primary focus). Same industry (power/electric generation), different location and bit different job scope, but all quite similar to make the transition easier.

@SarahG626 Thank you! I most certainly will! If I get the job, I'm going to need some serious support to help me avoid stress eating and staying on track with goals. Especially living with BF -- he eats whatever and stays skinny while I look at food and gain!

OSW 382.0
RSW 261.6

Goal for this round: Get into the 250’s, I need to break out of this bounce rut I’ve put myself in.

01/28 261.6 I was hopeful of a drop, but not surprised I didn’t have one, I have a lot of inflammation again this morning. In addition, my back and leg have been hurting me and I just can’t get them to let up. On the plus side of things though I’ve been staying on track the last few days so I don’t have that adding to things.

01/29 261.4 My back finally let up yesterday after I spent some time on my exercise bike. I have no idea why that helped when walking, pain killers, message, and muscle rub didn't, but I'll have to keep it in mind for next time.

01/30 261.0 I’m slowly but surely getting back to my previous low.

01/31 260.4 And that’s finally back down to my previous low. Now to see some new lows. I happily noticed that even with the bounce up I lost a little over 9 pounds this month and I’m fairly pleased by that. Also my husband has decided that he wants to be back on board with losing weight and his food choices and I’m hopeful that will help.

02/01 259.0 There I go with a new low. Now to stay on track.

02/02 258.4 Still on the downward track and since I am I can now say I hit my first goal of this year. I have less than 100 pounds to lose.

02/03 258.6 I was on track yesterday calorie wise but had a high processed carb day. Add to that some sore muscles this morning and I’m just happy I didn’t see more of an uptick. I’d say I will take it easy today, but the weather today will be gorgeous, and I plan to be out walking the dogs a few times.

02/04 259.2 I thought I was active on Sun., but yesterday I walked 13k in steps, did 20 minutes on my exercise bike, and did a new 20-minute set of resistance bands. Today is a rest day and I’m betting in the next day or two I’ll be back down.

02/05 260.2 Seriously? I’m well within calories, no binges, weighing everything this entire round. The only idea I have now is that it’s the ovulation gain that I get. All I can do is stay the coarse and hope whatever is will pass soon. It’s hard though I thought I’d left the 60s behind.

jamfullhouse · February 2020

5' 7" Age 40's
Original start weight: 178 lbs (Oct. 10, 2019)
Goal this round: 161.0 lbs and stay or be lower than for three days.
Ultimate goal 135 lbs.

I am unsure of this new low weight hanging around and don't want to be disappointed when it starts bobbing so goal this round is set for expected bouncing.

Round 102 End/Round 103 start weight: 161.2 lbs

01/28 160. 6 lbs.

01/29 161.0 lbs

01/30 161.2 lbs Over calories, did the usually grocery shopping with friends and had a few beverages and pizza after. Not bad considering.

01/31 162.4 lbs Must be from yesterday, I was under calories and walked my two miles plus over 11,000 steps. I just have been not getting my toning workout done this week because I have to walk inside due to the ice outside, resulting in loss of motivation.

02/01 162.0 lbs

02/02 161.4 lbs snuck a few treats into my day but stayed under calorie.

02/03 162.6 lbs Not sure, I did not do any extra walking but did get in over 10,000 steps. I just expect all this up and down.

02/04 162.0 lbs

02/05 162.0 lbs Well I thought I had my goal reasonable enough but I don't think I am going to make it. I have been drinking lots of water. Under 1000 calories the last two days, over 13,000 in steps. Ugh!! I guess I will have to limit calories today to 900 and see if that helps. I will be sitting most of the day, so not sure on steps but hoping to get a walk in the house done today.

Salty bump. I stuck to my calorie goal, didn’t snack in the evening, and walked in the very cold afternoon.

I see my fat cells are going to make a stand. I did have a snack in the evening but was within calories. Oh well — I’ll just keep on the path.

What? This has to be sodium. I did have lunch out yesterday, but my calories have been below my goal, which is well below maintenance, for days, so this is weird. Ok, gallons of water today.

Ok, last night I had some salty snacks at a women’s movie night gathering, and definitely felt over-salted in the middle of the night. Drinking water water water!

Slowly, slowly. DH wanted to go out for lunch yesterday, but I got a turkey club and deconstructed it — ditched the bread. Had an apple for dinner. Sadly had a half cup of moose tracks frozen yogurt later, but still ok on calories. I’ve been drinking gallons of water but still feel puffy. Hopefully today I can wash out the remaining salt from movie night. Yeesh! Have a great weekend, all!

Oh, come on. Can’t be. I don’t get it.

Not where I wanted to be by now, but better than yesterday (whatever that was!). I was right on target until late evening, when I had some Triscuits. As snacks go, not too bad. Better today.

On track yesterday. Lunch with a friend today but I have it planned to stay within bounds. I’d hoped to be down this round, but oh, well.
