I am a 20 year old college student who recently let themselves go over quarantine as well as the freshman 15 and I'm hoping to lose some of that weight before my third year roles around. My overall goals over these challenges are to better my relationship with exercise and food while losing some pounds in the processRound 146: -5.1lbs
Round 147: -0.3lbs
SW: 181.1lbs
CW: 175.7lbs
GW: 160lbs before August 2021
Day/Weight/Comment
04/22: DNW due to broken scale. New one due to come on Sunday,
04/23: DNW. Hoping to see some big losses once the new one comes!!
04/24: DNW. New scale comes in tomorrow but I won't be able to weigh in the morning like I usually do, so tomorrow's total may be high.
04/25: 174.4... not bad considering this was done mid-day after two meals! It'll be interesting to see what tomorrow mornings weight will be.
04/26: 173.2... great, now if we could just hit 171 I'll officially hit 15lbs lost from my heaviest. The last few pounds always seem to be the most stubborn.
04/27: 173.6
04/28: 172.4...so close to 15!!
04/29: 172.4... hoping to drop a couple more in the next few days and get a low total for this round

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 148 (round 80 for me ) I prove time after time that I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you @QuiltingJaine for setting up the new challenge.
Female age 63 5' 4” - Challenge for this round; need to continue to get back to maintenance weight– get back to and stay at or >130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines in roadmap to normality for C-19 virus. Be positive for the vaccine – I've had my first, spread positivity and encouragement for it to others.
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/22 133.6 - 10.19 miles walked yesterday, I need to get a grip on my food choices!
04/23 133.8 – 4.03 miles walked yesterday, over on calories due to lack of miles and spending day meeting up with DD & 2 little DGS at National Memorial Arboretum.
04/24 133.8 – 14.51 miles walked yesterday, 247 calories in credit.
04/25 DNW – yesterday and today we are travelling up at DS's house to help to build new bedroom furniture for DGD's new bedroom and then freshening up the nursery for new baby DGC due in 4 weeks, so we shall not only be getting no structured walking, but also not in control of the menus. I'll try not to not go overboard!
04/26 133.2 – 267 calories over, back home now and getting back on track to see a difference for the round.
04/27 133.2 – 11.85 miles walked yesterday, 391 calories in credit.
04/28 132.4 – 9.24 miles walked yesterday, 94 calories in credit.
04/29 132.4 - A full day volunteerimg at the vacination centre yesterday, managed to get 20 minutes walking in lunch break, hence calories over.
04/30 132.4 - 5.22 miles walked chasing 2 2 & 3 year old DGC round the woods for the day. Over on calories.

SW 4/4/21 155 lbs.
Long Term Goal 135
Short Term Goal 139 by mid May 2021
Method = calorie counting, avoid sugaring, and I round off my weight to the higher pound (I don't chart half pounds, etc.)
OK, "I'm IN" for this round. My first to participate. My short term goal of 139 by mid May is likely too aggressive, so if I can't accomplish it, I won't be worked up about it. I am being careful to not overly short my calories.
Round 148
Day/Weight/Comment
04/22 148
04/23 147 By the way, I round off my weight to the higher pound, so it's not really like I actually lost one pound in one day.
04/24 147 I had a terrific day of "being full" from eating lettuce salads topped with delicious vegetarian chili. That makes a satisfying meal! MmmmMmmm.
04/25 146 Like I said before, I round off my weight, so it's not as big a loss as what it seems. Also, I know that if I step on my digital scale three times in a row, it will show 3 different weights! Anyway, I'm going with 146 today, but predict that will be the same number for quite a few days now.
04/26 146 I think I must not have slept well last night, I was zero-energy all day today. I'm finishing up all my nightly chores, so I can zone out and enjoy some hot herbal tea later.
04/27
04/28 I've been fighting a headache, so didn't feel well until tonight, so I am at least logging on.
04/29 146 I'm stuck here, and going to accuse my scale of messing with me! haha

05/16 -
Main goal(s) - 1. Count calories even when with partner/at social events, even if it’s not perfect an estimate is better than nothing! 2. Don’t allow a little slip up or not being able to track properly to derail me

Round 147 (1) - SW 164.2 EW 164.6 (+0.4)
04/22 - 163.8 repairing the damage from last week! Determined not to have a repeat
04/23 - 162.4 going in the right direction
04/24 - 161.4 very happy with this! My partner came over unexpectedly last night and we had a campfire dinner and I managed to track well
04/25 - 161.4 happy to stay the same as yesterday, had a few treats with my partner but again tracked them well which is a big plus for me
04/26 - away but feeling positive about choices and progress
04/27 - 161.2 - very happy expecting a bit of a rise tomorrow because I need to weigh in earlier before work but let’s see how it goes!
04/28 - 160.8 - delighted! Wasn’t expecting that after an early morning weigh in. Also should’ve mentioned I had a great weekend making campfires and having dinner with a very good friend. Wonderful!
04/29 - 159.6 - wow shocked by this! Very positive, may be some water fluctuation so will prepare for some levelling out but hopefully that’s me into the 50’s now!
04/30 - 159.6 - very very happy to stay the same ☺️ hopeful I’ll stay in the 150’s now, day off of work tomorrow too so I’ll weigh in later. I do have a busy weekend planned with a bbq and a camping trip so this will be the real test!

Been part of this group before and I did so well - so decided to come back! So pleased to see the group still going!!!
I'm sneaking in mid round! Need to start back on being accountable to myself. Was going to leave starting until the start of the next round but decided there's no time like the present!
Haven't listed all my previous round history as wanted to start afresh:)
If I have to go back into the office at any stage not sure I'd get my work trousers on - working from home the last year and lockdowns have not been kind to my waistline!
My only goal for now is to weigh less at the end of the round than I started at and to cut out the rubbish foods and stick with healthy snacking!
04/27 - 175.8lb - ouch!!! That's the reality of lockdown....... Down is the only option! Also put my activity tracker on charge too!
04/28 - 176.9lb (+1.1lb) I can safely say that is because of all the water I drank yesterday:p... something else that has badly slipped. Not worried as these first couple of rounds will be all about me getting back on track, tracking my food again and going back to making sensible choices again rather than any drastic sudden weight loss.
04/29 - 176.9lb (STS)
04/30 - 176.6 (-0.3lb) Remembered to weigh but forgot to log on here yesterday - out the habit!! STS the same yesterday but a small drop today so that's all good. Definitely feel more in control of my food, snacking under control and drinking water again (should probably be more though) so getting there Been to the gym and also did an hours walk / jog yesterday while the girls were at cheer practice so happy with where I am mentally so far

04/25 - DNW
04/26 - 198.2 I sort of expected this. Mondays are usually pretty bad, and I had a pretty bad weekend food wise (though activity wise it was a bit better).
04/27 - 194.0 This is a weirdly big drop. I assume because I've been so off track over the weekend that there was also a fair bit of water retention going on. Feeling like I'm a bit more on track now - went for a long walk yesterday and a run this morning.
04/28 - 192.6 So I went for a run yesterday and kept below calories, but this is still a bigger one day drop than I would expect. I'm treating this a bit like the drop you get early on in weight loss which I know is probably mainly water weight. I've really struggled to stay on track in April, though, so seeing some positive numbers on the scale is a really good motivator.
04/29 - 191.8 Under calories and moderately active yesterday - I was back in the office for a day. This meant being reasonably active. I forgot how many steps I get in just walking to and from train stations, walking out for lunch and walking around the office. But being in the office is a challenge food wise - the vending machine is right there! And walking back to the train when it's a few hours after lunch, and I'm at least an hour away from dinner, it's SOO tempting to just stop at a shop and pick up lots of chocolate. I didn't bring any healthy lunch and hadn't had breakfast. Potential disaster. But I had a lunch involving a sandwich, some crisps and some chocolate all at around 500 cals, and then just ignored the vending machine as best I could. I did have a chocolate bar on the way home - but stayed under calories for the day.
04/30 - 192.6 The big drops were too good to last. I was under calories yesterday but only by 200 or so, and not terribly active. Still 5.6lbs lower than I was on Monday, so pretty happy.

Short term goals
#1. 3-4 pounds gone by the end of this 10 day challenge
#2. leave BMI obesity level I and hit BMI weight zone this summer
04/22 I went to my nephrologist's office. They want me to lose 10% of my last year's stating weight of 228.6. By their scale I'm down 8.4 since March of '20 so their goal is for me to get down 22.8 lbs total which would bring me to 206. By their measure I'm down 8.4 since March of '20. Although I lost more weight than that during last week's challenge according to my scale as I'd been up a bit over the pandemic. Always interesting to see what the doc's scale reads. I'm beginning to understand what the other lab result mean. (A1c, GFR and Vitamin D) So adding to a mini goal-Get to 205 by 7/15/21. Overweight (202) to follow.
04/23 217.8/-.2/ Slow & steady
04/24 217/-.8/ I'm losing about a lb every 2 days. Getting used to planning my meals the night before committing it to paper or text, eating measured nutritious food, letting hunger pass between my 3 meals, and texting my buddy my meal plan. It is faster to lose weight when one is obese. It'll slow eventually, but for now it's nice to see more than 2 lbs lost so soon. On target, maybe even surpassing it!
04/25 216.2/-.8/ On track to meet goal of 3-4 bs on this challenge. A month ago, I penned in my goal weight for each Sunday. Today's goal was that I'd be at 219. I'm at 216.2. WFPB is good for my system. Glucose morning numbers have been under 100 lbs
04/26 216.6/+.4/Was starving yesterday afternoon, ate more than I planned. Reading articles about it being healthiest losing 2 bs/week. I'll let my focus be healthy nutritious food.
04/27 217.2/ +.6/ Wow, thought I was on the straight and narrow. Guess I need to revise my expectations based on data. Goal should be to lose 2 lbs on this challenge and not to gain!
04/28 217/ Holding pattern
04/29 215.2 / -1.8/ The whoosh happened ~ now if it holds, l may meet my week's goal of 3 lbs after all.
04/30/ 215.6/ The 215 zone is holding!
05/01 I'll be out of town, so will be weighing in on a different scale or not at all, depending.....5 -

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

Well, there’s a fine how do you do. Down 4 pounds in the past two days and I cannot really pin-point a reason. Probably lower carbs and I processed a lot of water (in AND out) yesterday. I think I will try that again today.
04/23: 211.4
Going out with friends tonight, so I will try to behave before that.
04/24: 214.0
There is no doubt in my mind that this is just the dead weight of what I shoved in my mouth yesterday.

04/26: 213.4
Oops, forgot to post yesterday. Busy weekend!
04/27: 213.8
It’s pretty well established that my maintenance range is 210-215. I look like a yo-yo going up and down in that range. That is ten pounds above my goal maintenance range as stated above. I am happy that I can maintain at this current level with minimal effort. I am NOT happy that I am happy with minimal effort in this area...
04/28: 213.0
04/29: 212.2
Ate reasonably, but still not much of an exercise program going. Two days ago, I went back the gym where my membership has been frozen for a year, to see if any of my group exercise classes are up and running. Nope. I love group spinning classes like RPM and Sprint. They have one class offered mid day and you need to wear a mask. (I can barely breath without a mask during these classes, Ha)
Dropped by another gym to see what’s going on. Nuthin.
I do better in groups (like jgmtd) but it’s clear I need to exhibit some self-discipline and figure something out. Maybe some weight training is what I need more anyway.
04/30: 211.0
Ate well, mowed the grass (walking) and took a nice walk with DW.

04/27. 179.4. Thought bacon and mikes hard lemonade wouldn’t be that big of an issue- I was sooo wrong😳
04/28. 179.8. This 10 day experiment is really forcing me to shine a light on my eating habits
It isn’t magic
Too many calories =weight gain
Fewer calories= weight loss
So I am forced to face the fact my counting is wrong 😑
04/29 179.2 this is how YEARS are wasted dieting bc I lose and gain back the same pounds over and over but not this time! I am going to try and finish strong and work harder (count calories more accurately) on round 149😊😊❤️
04/30 178.8
If I can get to at least one pound of loss then that’s one pound closer to 50😀

My scale readings bounced up 4 pounds when I changed batteries, so I didn’t suddenly gain 4+ pounds. I didn’t want to write that down but, other than the horror of gaining, what difference does it make? So I’m going with the new readings, dammit.

I’m setting a new goal for the coming 6 months to get myself back to my old walking habit — 1,000 miles by Halloween, with monthly increases in daily and weekly distance goals. I used to walk 6-8+ miles almost every day, and got out of the habit 3 years ago when PMR practically immobilized me with pain. Now’s the time!
4/23 - 187.6 - 1557
Off to get some pavers for a path through my new side garden. Also known as weight training! Happy Friday, all!
4/24 - 188.4 - 1647
Oopsie. Was hungry after lugging pavers! This morning I’m off to buy soil. Whee!
4/25 - 188.2 - 1601
I didn’t walk yesterday — upset stomach that I didn’t trust — but I did schlep a dozen bags of soil Into the car, car to wheelbarrow, and then into the new garden bed, so that’s something at least.
4/26 - 187.8 - 1442
It’s finally warming up - yay! I have lots of work to do in the garden, expanding a couple of beds, laying brick edging....keeps me (mostly) out of trouble. 😇
4/27 - 187.6 - 1418
I laid about 3/4 of my new slate pathway through my new side garden yesterday. Off to buy another load of pavers in a bit, and then I can hit the nursery for plants. This is my happy place! 🌷🌼🦋🌻🕸🌹🐞🪴 I am planning a nice long walk this afternoon. I missed yesterday’s walk as a friend I haven’t seen in forever dropped by and time got away from us!
4/28 - 189 - 1426
Aww, come on. How does this make any sense? I didn’t count miles yesterday but walked quite a bit and worked a lot lifting and digging in rock pavers and otherwise gardening. Has to be water, but why? Ppffttt.
4/29 - 187 - 1246
Finally. I got about half my new stone pathway laid yesterday morning before the rain. Great weight training!

04/30 - 146.9 - I give up trying to figure this out.... I expected to be up today. Last night I had homemade bulgolgi and a large portion of it, too. I splurged and had like 6 potstickers. I had a beer for NFL Draft Day Round 1. All the things that would normally put me up have brought me back down. What?! Anyway, yesterday I went on a run. A full mile without stopping. Last time I did that was 2017. I hate running. It was raining. But my mind would NOT let it go so I did it. Felt good. Very had. I'm proud. Drank my 90oz water, got my 16 hour fast in (I finally remembered to track it!). Hopefully today goes super well and I can stick to good food so I can maybe, just maybe, see 145 again tomorrow. Don't have high hopes. Probably be up. Girl can dream.

Previous Day's Comments04/22 - Wow, I expected a bump up. I was STARVING at dinner and ate a little extra to satisfy my belly. I figured it'd bump me up, even if only slightly. Very pleasant surprise indeed. Fasted 16hrs, short on water, only got 65oz. Did get my workout in, though, which was wonderful. Hopefully this round will show some improvement, I'd love to be below 145 again. It IS a bit elusive....
04/23 - Lack of water causing water weight/bloat. Expected, plans were unknown to me so I couldn't plan ahead and make sure I had water with me. Only drank about 35oz plain water yesterday. Pushing water this morning to try to overcome. Yesterday I had another day I was extremely hungry and had to eat extra to feel satiated. Just trying to listen to my body and know it'll pass and things will settle back to normal soon enough. Hormones are goofy and I just need to be aware is all (: Not mad at it.

04/25 - Busy busy, go go go. Just wanted to check in so nobody worried. All good here. I'll be back to normal weigh in tomorrow!
04/26 - No hugs, I'm quite happy this wasn't higher after the weekend I had. Lots of manual labor, sleep was all kinds of wonky, could't keep up hydration as well as I'd like, and food was prepackaged on the go so we didn't have to keep going back into town. Hopefully today is calm enough I can focus on water. I'm postponing my workout (again.... I didn't get it on Friday as we left waaaay earlier than I anticipated) so I can rehydrate and rest my body after the manual labor this weekend.
04/27 - Inching back down. Got 65oz water and made homemade Chicken Tikka Masala and Naan bread for dinner. I'm feeling the bit of heaviness I usually do after Indian-style food, but my measurements show I've lost 1/2in off my belly pooch area, which is good. Unfortunately I have a busy busy work day suddenly pop up so my workout has been postponed. Hopefully I can still manage something this afternoon. Supposed to be rainy the next 3 days so maybe I'll get lucky to sneak in a walk or something if I can't get my 9Round in. Focus today will be getting my 90oz water while on meetings! Need to stop being too lazy or distracted to refill water bottle
04/28 - Managed to get my 90 oz in and got a short walk with the pup. Neighborhood isn't big so I'm lucky to get between 0.75-0.9mi in with her. Nothing to brag about but some movement is still movement and I'll take it.
04/29 - Not quite sure what this is about? We had a fairly heavy dinner, maybe? It was early, but doesn't mean it couldn't have impact. Got my 90oz water. Got a walk in with the pup though she cut it short because she decided to try something new: escape from her harness and run away. I caught her, thankfully, but had to stop our walk to carry her home (didn't trust her not to do it again). Then the rain came so no more walks. Need to figure out how I can get the harness so it doesn't restrict breathing or movements but is tight enough she can't slip out. Apparently I have a houdini dog....

@Purpleredgreen You must find a sustainable WAY OF EATING rather than go on and off a diet.5
