Round 106 – End of round 105 was utter nastiness. I got 4 days behind but I’m still lurking around. I might need some more support than usual this round.

I slept in and was pretty much a couch potato all day (until we decided to rearrange the living room furniture). That was probably the most movement I did all day, outside of 2 loads of laundry. After this past week, I’m okay with a lazy Sunday. Back on track tomorrow.

For those stuck or struggling with a plateau, I just came across a rather interesting article on *set point theory*.

@kecward78 Thanks for sharing such a great article. I followed the enclosed links and found many more informative articles too. Every tool in the tool shed is helpful!3 -

Day/Weight/Comment
02/27 – 169.2 – There’s the drop I was looking for yesterday. All goals met!
02/28 – 169.2 – Added two new strength exercises to my gym routine today. Went to the local sushi place for lunch. Their dumpling soup is delicious but seems to have a day’s worth of sodium in it. Still, it was the perfect thing for a cold, windy day.
02/29 – 169.8 – No surprise, given that I was over on sodium and calories yesterday. Today was much better – enjoyed time with my grandsons and met all my goals!
03/01 – 169.8 – All goals met.
03/02 – 169.0 – Great day to walk outdoors! All goals met. Swamped with work, so my participation in this forum has been pretty erratic. I’ll catch up – soon, I hope

Ready for round 106 {43rd for me}
OSW 88KG
RSW 60.7 kg (-27.3 kg) or {60.2lbs}
Maintenance wasn't a great success so back on it.
02/27 60.7kg. Back to the grind!
02/28 60.0kg and I'm planning a good weekend without temptation
02/29 59.3kg back below 60! Daughters birthday party today (birthday is in August!) but I'm not tempted to nibble.
03/01 59.55kg. I wasn't tempted by the party food but I did have wine later so this will probably bounce up tomorrow. Its a new month so I'm going to be back on the losing game and see where I can end up in 31 days.
03/02 60.15kg expected bounce. Now back to what I know works
03/03 60.0kg despite a heavy dinner. This looks promising. Public holiday here today so a nice lie in and gym later.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/27 196.8 I feel heavy, so I’ll take this slight loss. Have been eating at a deficit, don’t have a good reason for feeling this way, but guess it’s part of the ups and downs of the journey.
02/28 196.6 slow change, I’ll take it.
02/29 196.0 yes! Finally some bigger movement. Yesterday was almost all greens and meat, very few grains, protein bars, etc. I think that always helps.
03/01 DNW (away from scale). But had a good day for habits—tracked, exercised, figured out my meal plan for the week (which will include travel) and my grocery list
03/02 197.4 You can tell I didn’t like the number because I didn’t post right away this morning. But holding myself accountable and posting now. Figuring that number has got to be sodium and/or hormones! Have been eating under calorie targets for more than a week.

02/27 133 – good start to the round, 13.2 miles walked yesterday, 640 calories in credit, all other macros well in green.
02/28 133.6 – child minding DGS yesterday, 2 hour journey each way so no structured walking, but chasing him around soft play for 2 hours is a work out !!!
02/29 133.6 – 8.75 miles walked (last 3.5 danced!) yesterday, all macros well in green.
03/01 133.6 – 7.88 miles walked yesterday, 182 calories in credit, 29 carbs over.
03/02 133 – 10 miles walked yesterday, delicious Sunday lunch out with DH & 4 of my siblings, meant that I was not hungry at tea time so just had a juicy pear. Calories 373 in credit & all macros well in credit.
03/03 133.4 – 10.64 miles walked yesterday, 476 calories in credit, all other macros in green. Not much chance of a walk today; Dad's funeral & it's raining

Goals
My Goal is to stay under 1200 call for the 10 days seeing that I'm exercising less for the moment.
02/26 - 150.6 round start weight
02/27 - 149.6 (-1.0) yeyyy back down, I think yesterday's gain was really a glitch to keep me on my toes for the end of the round lol Thank goodness we weight daily ! Today is a normal day, I've got my breakfast and lunch with me at the office and tonight I'm going over to friends which is good as it's board games night and these friends have a no snacking policy at their house, they're very careful of their games :-)
02/28 149.6 (-0.0) good yesterday, which was hard! Yesterday evening, my friend broke his no "snacking rule" during games night by giving all the players individual servings of a selection of cookies!! I resisted all evening with the plate next to me, I think that alone should deserve some weight loss
Today will not be so good, I've got lunch planned with a friend and an evening out with friends combined with a late dinner. I'll go for the healthier options but I know there will be a gain somewhere over the next couple of days. However I do plan on enjoying it, you do get to appreciate the special dinner occasions even more when you've been dieting a long time! 
02/29 149.6 (0.0) weekend
03/01 150.6 (+1.0) weekend
03/02 151.6 (+1.0) well all in all I enjoyed a good weekend but too many late dinners and didn't drink hardly enough water. I think it'll drop quite quickly (cross fingers). I've also started beta blockers as a migraine treatment since Friday and I've read one side effect is weight gain, something to keep a close eye on. On another note, the days are getting longer and I cycled to work (I don't like cycling in the city in the dark, too dangerous). Brussels being quite hilly, it's quite a workout even if the office isn't far. Also it's a folding bike (the joys of apartment living) which means it's more effort on little wheels !
03/03 150.4 (-1.2) 1099 cal, 6753 steps, All in all a good day yesterday, under calorie but not enough steps however as I cycled to and from work I'm not really bothered. I got caught in a downpour cycling home last night, I was happy I had invested in good waterproof gear but I still had to get undressed in the bath as I was dripping wet Things are quiet in the office today, I'm having lunch with a friend so I think I'll cycle over there (or walk to get my steps in). Meetings have started being cancelled due to the coronavirus. I work bang center in the European quarter of Brussels and there's definitely less people around. The next weeks are going to be interesting...

Weekend catch-up (because I was super busy yesterday and didn't get a chance to post). Not a great weekend all in all. I really need to do a good food shop because I'm struggling to find the effort to cook healthy foods with a lack of, well, anything in the fridge.

Round 105: No change
Day/Weight/Comment
02/27 - 73.9 - Finally some movement. Period started yesterday which might explain why I have been ravenously hungry the last week! Calories were a little over yesterday but generally okay.
02/28 - 73.6 - Was exhausted yesterday, but eating was okay.
02/29 - 74.1 - Was expecting that, monthly lunch at work (aka the company buys us all lunch) and there was so much pizza. And then pizza left over. So because I wogged myself at lunch I ended up not being in the slightest bit hungry for dinner and didn't eat anything, so swings and roundabouts.03/01 - 74.9 - Very hard judo session + salty Chinese for dinner = retaining oh so much water. I even feel puffy today. Drinking loads of water to make up for it and hopefully tomorrow will level me out.03/02 - Was late this morning and forgot to weigh. Previous day was okay. Eating was a little all over the place as the day was very stressful, but overall was fine.03/03 - 73.7 - Another solid day. Eating was a little over what I'd like, but then I went and did a very intense judo session, so I'm not feeling guilty about the situation as a whole. I still worked out below calories.

Starting Weight: 152.0 lbs
Round Goal Weight: 150.0 lbs
02/27 - 151.4 Good start, stayed within limits.
02/28 - 151.6 Ate a little over my calorie allotment yesterday. A little sore from weight lifting.
02/29 - 151.8 Wrong way scale! Not too worried, I tend to bounce around a little. Stayed within calories, but probably need more water.
03/01 - 151.6 Wish it would drop a little faster, but at least it's moving in the right direction again.
03/02: - 151.6 Hope to see a drop soon. Sticking to calories, but just looked over my food diary for the past few days and I noticed I've been eating more carbs than usual. I'm going to cut back on the carbs and see if that helps.
03/03: - 150.6 There's the drop I've been waiting for

Day/Weight/Comment
02/27 - 365.8 - Small uptick. Found that if I use ACV before a high(er) carb meal will balance blood sugar levels and it seems to help w/ my weight. I've been doing a lot of research, especially those doctors and dieticians (not YouTube influencers) that have done real research.
02/28 - 365.8 - I think stress is really hurting my rest. Job hunting isn't going as well as I need and it's definitely taking it's toll.
02/29 - 364.5 - First time in days I got decent sleep... and the drop proves it. Also started weight-work w/ kettlebell and free weights.
03/01 - 364.3 - Ate a donut yesterday (lol). The first real cheat in weeks. Tasted way too sweet. But kept myself under on my calorie limit, so that's good. I'll take the minor drop.
03/02 - 364.0 - The downward trend continues. Only 3.6 lbs. short of making my DietBet challenge. Must be at 360.4 on March 17th.
03/03 - 362.0 - Wasn't too hungry yesterday. Actually got a huge chef salad (oil/vinegar dressing) and still had plenty of room for frozen yogurt and a protein bar before starting my fast again. Four days to go and already made my goal weight. Also went to the gym again. 45 minutes, 3.08 miles on the eliptical. And now 40, yes, FORTY lbs. down on my journey.

03/03 - 145.7 - Water weight gone from sodium binge. I will say, I wasn't quite expecting it to be gone that quick. Now to keep it here or drop more. No more going up! I got my 90oz water in yesterday. Not much by way of food in the house anymore. If my burger patties are thawed by tonight, I'll cook one up (no bun) with a side of veggies for dinner. There are 4 of them so it should be enough for tonight, tomorrow night (food truck at work as my splurge for lunch), and Thursday lunch and dinner. Hopefully I have enough veggies on hand to make it through that! Today's lunch is a can of chicken and dumpling soup. Not ideal, plenty of sodium as all canned soups are, but its what I had available. Either that or overpriced vending machine food. At least the sodium will be early on and I have time to flush it out before tomorrow. Will have to figure out Friday's food when I get there.. I'm off work so I have options.

03/07 - DNW, DNP - Out of town 7Mar-15Mar for spring break!
Previous Day's Comments02/27 - It's quite okay, though not pretty to see. A very late carb-heavy dinner and still waiting on TOM (been feeling it terrible yesterday and today -- it better hurry up and get along now). Gives me room to drop during this last 9 days before I leave. I'd love to see 145.x again but this will also be a bit of a stressful 10 days planning and packing. Update: the ankle fracture is actually an old one-- they were able to see what they think are calcium deposits which wouldn't have shown up in less than 24 hours from injury and there's no indication its unstable whatsoever. Called it a very bad sprain. Some tears in the ligaments are likely. I'm in a stabilization brace but off crutches and out of the boot. They're also referring me to physical therapy to help keep ligaments healing properly. Doc has no problem with my walking on it so long as its stabilized which I'm very happy about. I can take short walks and get more movement in now to help this weight gain along out the door for good. Plan on having 95% of my house packed prior to spring break so plenty of movement from that! I'll have 5 days to then pack the remaining 5% once I return. Feeling very positive about this round and ready for spring break! Haven't seen the kids since BF moved first week of Dec and I've missed them so much.
02/28 - Trending down, yay! TOM finally showed up and took some bloat with it. Another late dinner as I ate with my neighbor and his daughters -- carb heavy italian with some wine. Tonight will be steaks on the grill but not sure what sides yet so hoping tomorrow is a much nicer number. Hit my 65oz water goal Today's goal is to finish 2.5 30oz bottles and work my way up to 3 (90oz) over time. Hoping lighter carb/protein-focused dinners combined with more water will get me back to 145.x for spring break. I'm DETERMINED. I want to feel confident in myself and it'll set me up nicely for summer as well. Plenty of beaches, rivers, kayaking, floating, etc in my future. I want to be able to enjoy those experiences rather than constantly think about how I look and feel ugly for it (I know I'm not, but my slight dysmorphia tells me otherwise more often than I like to admit.) I'm sure I don't do myself any favors by not sucking it up and eliminating or at least reducing the things I know bloat me up. Limit gluten-filled carbs will be a focus going forward. Lactose is much easier for me to avoid.
02/29 - On my way back down! Fasting until dinner because I had a few drinks while playing darts last night. 3 drinks at 80 calories a piece didn't do me in calorie-wise, but I know with IF, alcohol gets burned first, then glycogen, then fat. It was about 1am so it'd be about 5pm before I hit my 16 hours. I'm fine with it, don't feel hungry anyway, despite my stomach grumbling at me lol Shush and enjoy the water and tea, belly! Going to do some yoga for ankle injuries today. Feeling a bit squishy. BF wants me to gain confidence to wear a bikini I bought years ago and forgot I had. It definitely doesn't fit, so I went shopping and trying on today.... squish squish squish. Found a top I absolutely adored (and bought for motivation)! Bottoms however... I'm a pear shape so that's where my squish is. Didn't like my belly hanging over that much and the skin/fat around my hips absorbing the side of the bottoms... I'll be okay by summer if I keep up with what I've been doing the last month, but hopefully I can lose the squishy feeling I've gained in the last few days by next week. If not, they have swim bottoms that are like shorts and I can get those until I'm more comfortable. (BF is not being controlling, he just hates that I don't have confidence or find myself beautiful/attractive. I'll wear it around friends who are also like me but more comfortable with wearing a bikini, no matter their body shape. I know they'll hype me up and get me more comfortable with myself)
03/01 - Didn't expect to meet my goal so soon. Apparently the fasting worked wonders! Only had 60oz of water, rather than 90, but I had a very late start -- only began drinking water at 1130! Coffee pot is packed so I am surviving on tea for my caffeine fix (to avoid migraines) and water. It definitely forces me to get more in. Now to keep it up and maybe I'll be fortunate enough to get to 144.x? I suppose it is possible now that I've had this drop, but I won't get my hopes up. Dinner will be fajitas with the flat iron steak I have. Need to use it up and neighbor is happy grilling it for us. Not sure about lunch but have some leftover stir fry veggies I will try to get in with whatever else I find to eat. My pantry and freezer are dwindling quite nicely, though it makes healthy eating a little more challenging. A good lesson in portion control I suppose.
03/02 - Not a big deal, expected bounce from sodium. Could not resist the temptation of chips and guacamole with our fajitas last night. Got my 90oz of water but the salt came at dinner so no time to flush. Woke up feeling that water-weight squish. It'll go down quickly, I think, if I stick to my goals. Lots of water today, naked fajitas for lunch, and not quite sure dinner yet, but focused on making it light.

2/29 158.0lbs, 33.9%bf; 7h43m/85 - well this is exciting! I know I'll bounce back above 160 - probably a couple of times - but for the moment, I am 50 pounds down from OSW. And under 34% body fat. 💪😎
3/1 157.9lbs, 33.9%bf; 6h48m/81 -quality sleep, just not enough of it. Fun day out with friends.
3/2 159.2lbs, 34.2%bf; 8h14m/93 - the bounce isn't unexpected, just happy to keep it under 160. The sleep... finally, a decent night. Come at me, Monday.... I am ready.

My goal for 2020 is to reach One-derland by end of the year. Will be happy if I can get close to even 200 lbs. Also, build my strength and endurance while toning my muscles, as I'm losing weight.
My goals for R106:
1) Be more mindful of what goes into my mouth.
2) Don't be controlled be my emotions when it comes to eating.
3) Workout for 20 minutes 3 X's a week.
4) Walk as much as I'm able.

3/01: 272.4. I think a lot of the problem with me having these weekly plateaus issues, has to do with some of the meds I take. I usually lose every week on average about 2 lbs, even with the plateaus. Just need to get things heading in the right direction. I really want to get out of the 70's. My goal for the end of March is (265 lbs) Which is (7.4 lbs) still to go. With a little over 4 weeks till then, I think I'll be able to reach this goal. 😊
3/02: 272.4 Looks like there will be no loss this week. It happens every so often. Been on this journey for a very long time, and have had a few plateaus. But the good news is, I always start losing again. If not this week, then hopefully next week.

Goals for 2020 — eat consciously and responsibly, exercise and meditate daily, get back to productive writing & painting, help people, be kind, learn new things, have fun.
🏃🏽♀️🥗🍎🥕🥦🏊🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️
R106 Goals — I’m trying something new this round. I’ve counted calories daily for years, through ups and downs, and have admitted to myself that it’s obsessive and not necessarily productive. This round I’m trying to simply eat when hungry and to mindfully choose mostly what I know is healthful. I’m going to weigh in only on the first and final days this round, but I will check in daily. Thanks for indulging me.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 - 181.2
I can see that not recording what I eat will be a struggle, I’ve been doing it for so long (even while gaining back some of what I’d lost), but I’m starting to work my way through The Intuitive Eating Workbook to see if I can stop snacking and otherwise eating stupidly, and stop letting food and calories control me. So no more weighing until 3/7 and no tracking this round. I know that’s not the point of this challenge, but this group is so supportive and inspiring, I want to hang out with you. 🎟
2/28 - 179.6
Old habits — I weighed myself before I thought about it. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
2/29 - —
I went out for lunch with a friend yesterday and still feel the sodium this morning — rings won’t come off. But that meal did me for the rest of the day, so not all bad I guess. I’m flushing myself out with lots of water and normal sodium today. Happy Leap Day, everyone!
3/1 - —
3/2 - —
I’m managing not to step on the scale, but it’s hard — such a habit! I had a good weekend in terms of food (no idea about calories, but I felt “lighter”), and took a nice walk yesterday. It’s warmed up, but now we expect a few days of rain. Oh well!
3/3 - —
I’m slowly adjusting to not recording everything and not obsessing. Feeling good. I confess though that I’m curious to see if I lose this experimental round!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/27 159.2 lbs 1050 calories, 10,000 steps, fatigue, back pain, nausea, Physical therapy today
02/28 160.4 1751 calories, 8000 steps, physical therapy was a waste of time, I got a heat pack for ten minutes and went over exercises that I had already been doing before this last month of back pain. No massaging, nothing. But come back twice a week so I can take your money. Ummm... I made another appointment with the doctor today, which is 90 miles of driving again. If I don't get an MRI and something to get me through the weekend........ I gave into tears from pain and ate two rows of girl scout cookies.
02/29. 159.2lbs. MRI today.
03/01. 159.6 lbs. 2500 calories, 6000 steps spent four driving to mri but met my daughter and she took me out for supper and we splurged on desserts. So this number will continue to go up for another day. Restarting this month, hoping to find out what’s wrong with back, get some pain control and take back my life.
03/02 160.0 lbs 1085 calories, 7500 steps
03/03 160.2 1375 calories, 19500 steps. Back is better but loss is hard with no IF because of eating breakfast with pain pills in the morning. Hard to keep calories to 1000 for loss.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/27: 181.4 (The scale is going down very slowly this week. I ate to plan and did some weight lifting and more spinning. The thing I forgot about spinning after a long hiatus is how much your butt hurts sitting on that hard saddle! I had to go to a sporting goods store after the gym and buy one of those cushions! Let’s hope the tush doesn’t hurt as much today!)
02/28: 179.6 (Yes! Back down to losing weight again! This is living proof that if you go off the rails, you could lose all that weight and more if you go back to it! A new low for me in 2020. I did a dance class on YouTube and ate to plan!)
02/29: 180.0 (My father in law took my husband and I out to our birthdays last night to an Italian restaurant. He was out of town and wanted to celebrate. Plus it’s my husbands birthday tomorrow. I did not workout since it’s my rest day.)
03/01: 181.4 (I had the best day celebrating my hubby’s birthday with our friends. I made some fried rice and chicken teriyaki at his request. I had another rest day yesterday and ate to plan!)
03/02: 182.0 (Celebrated the hubby’s birthday yesterday! I did my YouTube dance workout and ate to plan! I’m excited to get back to the actual gym today!)
03/03: 180.6 (TOM came 4 days early yesterday afternoon! My cycle has been all over the place. I did a Zumba class yesterday and ate to plan. I made breakfast for dinner last night and had some waffles that were super delicious!)

R105: 2/26/20 EW: 142.6
Day/Weight/Comment
2/27: 144.0 (+1.4) – Water, salt, digestive issues. Calories were not over but did drink and it was salty food. It’s going to be a challenging few days with social stuff last night, tonight, Fri and Sat. I am really going to have to bank calories during the day and exercise.
2/28: 143.8 (-.2) – Going to try to run today – gotta burn some cals heading into a busy social weekend. Happy FriYay all…..Looking forward to March and some spring like weather. In TX that could be 50 or 90 😎
2/29: 142.0 (-1.8) – This can’t be correct but I weighed 4 times with and without an 8 lb dumb bell and resetting the scale. Also, I purposely only had a 300 cal protein bar at lunch yesterday and saved my calories for dinner at 7 so I ate most of them back late! I will see them tomorrow or Monday as I am out tonight as well at Make-A-Wish Fundraiser with Barbecue/drinks. Back on track tomorrow. Happy Leap Year y’all!🤩
3/1: 142.0 (0) – Didn’t check the scale….just going with it. Plan to run today to work off last night’s tacos, queso, chips and Tito’s. Happy March Fools Day y’all!🤘
3/2: 143.0 (+1.0) - This is what they call a “Burger and Fries” hangover! But it was good! I ate way under my cals though because it was a 2 pm gut bomb. Dinner was zucchini noodles and spinach. Looking for a sports med doc today to give me some direction on hip pain. In the mean time, I will have to focus on the calories in part of the equation! ➕➖➗✖
3/3: 142.6 (-.4) – Gym day then sports med doc to solve the “my hip hurts when I run” issue. Ate well yesterday. This should be a quiet week. Hope everyone in the US with a Super Tuesday primary gets to vote! ☮

Round 101: Ended Jan 17 EW: 207.2 (-1.2)
Round 102: Ended Jan 27 EW: 205.8 (-1.4)
Round 103: Ended Feb 06 EW: 202.2 (-3.6)
Round 104: Ended Feb 16 EW: DNW (travel)
Round 105: ended Feb 26 EW: 197.0 (-5.2, total loss from 2 rounds)
Day/Weight/Comment
02/27 196.8 I feel heavy, so I’ll take this slight loss. Have been eating at a deficit, don’t have a good reason for feeling this way, but guess it’s part of the ups and downs of the journey.
02/28 196.6 slow change, I’ll take it.
02/29 196.0 yes! Finally some bigger movement. Yesterday was almost all greens and meat, very few grains, protein bars, etc. I think that always helps.
03/01 DNW (away from scale). But had a good day for habits—tracked, exercised, figured out my meal plan for the week (which will include travel) and my grocery list
03/02 197.4 You can tell I didn’t like the number because I didn’t post right away this morning. But holding myself accountable and posting now. Figuring that number has got to be sodium and/or hormones! Have been eating under calorie targets for more than a week.
03/03 196.0 Ok a day of pounding water paid off to wash out the sodium. After another of many days eating below target, I feel like I “deserve” slightly better results than just returning back to where I was, but I’ll roll with it. Just keep my habits tight and concentrate on behavior; the results will come.

3) Stay in calorie range of 1200

02/28 63.3, calories were 1,400
02/29 63.3, calories were 1,280 I don't know why I haven't lost this week, as I've been pretty consistent with the calorie counting. Hopefully I'll see a change tomorrow! I'm making a low cal Mexican soup as well for lunch every day, so that'll help too.
03/01 62.8, calories were 1230. I finally got under 63.3! Maybe my scale is not as sensitive as it should be. I'm happy to finally see some progress!
