    Challenge SW: 139.8
    Challenge GW/UGW: 125

    Round #7: SW 168.2 EW 148.8
    Round #8: EW 139

    Day 1: Wed, 7/14: 139.8
    Day 2: Thu, 7/15: 140.2
    For the past week or so, when I ate over 1100 calories, I gained the next day. So I'm gonna stay under 1100 for the foreseeable future, except for special occasions. I have a birthday party to attend Saturday and a family reunion the next Saturday, so there will be some significant face stuffage then.
    Day 3: Fri, 7/16: 140
    Day 4: Sat, 7/17: 141.6
    Had a fairly hefty dinner last night, so this is mostly sodium and actual weight of the food, which is still with me.
    Day 5: Sun, 7/18: 141
    Day 6: Mon, 7/19: 139.8
    Day 7: Tue, 7/20: 138.2
    Well, that was a nice whoosh! I am unofficially down 30 pounds since January 15. I say unofficially because my official weigh day is Friday. And I'm eating Chinese food tomorrow for dinner.
    Week 1 Loss: -2

    Day 8: Wed, 7/21: 137.8

    A pretty simple way for the photos:
    Let Google photos be the default on your phone (might already be)
    You don't need cables or anything for your computer. Just open Google photos and they will all be there.
    Open Google photos on your phone first, this will update to your Google account, then open Google on your computer.

    If you have a Mac then I don't know how it works

    @dawnbgethealthy Thanks for the photo tip. When I get a minute to try something new I will give it a go. My son may be able to help. Also my worker brings a young 27 yr old man with him to help sometimes. He can probably show me too.

    In regards to the coffee, I am definitely with you on the compromise. I do the same with chocolate. I must have it. And I do mean MUST! LOL. Like you with the coffee (and the ribs) I have found a better way to do it when I am trying to lose weight. Very dark chocolate - only one square. Or a fiber bar (or Atkins bar) that has chocolate on it but is calorie controlled, carb controlled or low in sugars. It is worth it to me too. Any is better than none and I find if I am still allowed some form of indulgence, it helps me to stick to my plan better.


    The dark chocolate that we've been indulging:
    • Russell Stover sugar free dark chocolate (I'm not a fan of the milk choc). Good for a choc fix and low in carbs/sugars.
    • Also ran across York Peppermint Patties in the sugar free dark chocolate variety!!!!
    • Trader Joe's has a Simply Lite No Sugar Added Dark Chocolate Almond Bar (break off a row for a quick fix)
    • Lily's Chocolate bars Stevia Sweetened, No Added Sugar, Low-Carb in a variety of flavors is also really good.
    • Then for coffee I have a few of the Equal Cafe Creamers (squeeze small bottle) in Hazelnut, Mocha, French Vanilla (10 calories, 0 sugar, no carbs). I drink my coffee black in the morning but I sometimes use these if the sweet tooth urge hits later in the day.

    I ate over my carb limit yesterday, and way too much salt the day before so I am paying for it. I also dont drink enough water and need to stay on top of that, its a struggle for me.
    Day 7: 7/20: 161.0
    No change, 3 days in a row now. I am a bit swollen, so I am retaining water. I think I might try some dandelion tea see if that helps.
    Day 8: 7/21: 159.8
    Finally hit just below that 160 I have been fighting for a while. I know its not likly to stay there but it has been a goal for about 4 weeks now. I dont know why it has been so hard to get below that number.

    100 Days of Accountability 7/14-10/21
    I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

    Female, Age 60, 5’3”
    Challenge Starting Weight: 205 (7/13)
    Challenge Goal: <195

    History & Goals
    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021)
    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:
    * 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195
    * Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
    * Onederland: 199
    * Weigh less than DH: 206 (April 2021) ✔️:)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's

    My goal for 2021 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
    Plans:
    🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
    🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
    🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
    🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
    🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

    Day 1: Wed, 7/14: 207.0 Walked .9 + 1.75 miles, swimming, 1565 cal, 68 net carbs, AF. Hiking in Brazos State Park & swimming to entertain my daughter-in-law’s 5 yr old niece that is visiting. Came too close to an alligator! Wow that is a strange & disappointing jump up on the scale this morning! Could sweet potato fries do that much damage at lunch?
    Day 2: Thurs, 7/15: 207.2 Walked 4.5 miles, bike 30 min, squats, hand weights, cal, net carbs, 1 Torchy’s Tini. Chili for lunch and Torchy’s for dinner. Walked the dog to my home owners’ assoc. local lap pool (heated during the winter) to see if my key card still works which was much further than I thought but a nice walk (better than jumping in the car!). It is still active so I guess I need to consider adding swimming laps to my routine. The dog & I were both exhausted walking in the heat but we beat the rain! Need to make a point to get out earlier in the morning.
    Day 3: Fri, 7/16: 207.4 WI at 4am. Walk 2 + 1.3 miles, weeding/gardening, 2187 cal, 141 net carbs, AF (Neon Zebra margarita mocktail). Pizza for lunch & quesadillas for dinner. Need to clean up my meal planning.
    Day 4: Sat, 7/17: 206.2 [/b] Walk 1 + 1.3 miles, 1892 cal, 95 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.

    1st Week Goal Weight: 204.x Repeating goal until I hit it
    1st Week Actual Weight: 206.2
    Not even close. I was at 205 the day before the challenge started and it should have been easy peasy to make a 204.x goal. But on day 1 my weight skyrocketed. Finally got it going back down. Now to continue breaking through that 205 barrier.

    Day 5: Sun, 7/18: 207.0 Walk 1.3 miles , 1511 cal, 83 net carbs, 4 glasses wine. Nice morning breakfast outside then farmers market with DD & her husband & dogs. A pretty lazy day but did throw out more stuff as I anticipate a possible move. Also sorted more of my kids’ medical, scouting and school records along with their birth, baptism, lifeguarding & other certificates to pass along to them. The idea of moving elsewhere away from the kids and all the community I’ve built up over the past 30 years in Houston is starting to stress me out. Drinking more, not paying attention to the meal planning, not sleeping well (dreams of what if) and in general riddled with anxiety.
    Day 6: Mon, 7/19: 205.9 Walked 3.2 miles, 1480 cal, 76 net carbs, 4 glasses wine. Good day. Kids came over to cook burgers for lunch and chat.
    Day 7: Tues, 7/20: 207.1 Walked 3.25 miles, gardened, 1509 cal, 122 net carbs, AF. Lunch & dinner with friends first Thai and then Mediterranean so I’m assuming that this is sodium or hidden calories since I was in the green 246 calories yesterday. Plan is to stay on track today and drink LOTS of water.
    Day 8: Wed, 7/21: 204.9 Walk 4.5 + 1.3 miles, bike 30 min, squats & hand weights, 1252 cal, 110 net carbs, AF. Big swoosh from yesterday which was an obvious sodium uptick. Now to keep this below 205 for the rest of the week!
    Day 9: Thurs, 7/22:
    Day 10: Fri, 7/23:
    Day 11: Sat, 7/24:

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 204.x Repeating goal until I hit it
    2nd Week Actual Weight:

    @Lilylady3k Now we're talking! Great Job moving closer to Onederland. I'm getting out the virtual wine glasses - you'll be here in no time!

    100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ July 14 through Oct 21, 2021
    My Name is Donna, Age 61. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.


    145320379.png


    “We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou

    Ending Weight Last Round (start weight this round): 195.2 lbs


    Day 01 – 07/14 …..196.0….. Ouch! Starting a bit higher than I’d hoped for. No proper TMI since last weigh-in. However, I know the peanut butter filled pretzels with those big chunks of rock salt on them didn’t help. I know I am retaining fluids. No proper pee either. Sorry so graphic but all of that does make a difference. Today I am taking my son and his friend for a short trip out of town for the Dairy Queen. I will keep my meal small and try to get in some extra steps later today. Water….water….water…. So nice to see some newbies to the challenge! Welcome! Good luck everyone. I’m on your side and offer 100% support!
    Day 02 – 07/15 …..196.8….. Regular hamburger and blizzard at the DQ. Looked up calories later and found the medium pecan turtle blizzard is 900 calories!!!! Yes you read that right! 900. After seeing that, I kept the rest of the evening and night very low cal. I ate less than I burned for the day so I’m disappointed to see a gain. No TMI x 2 is probably contributing. I will be drinking cleanse tea today in the hopes of emptying. I will also stay accountable. The ups & downs of it all are frustrating when you are still trying to enjoy life. This is exactly why I wanted to firmly get into the 197’s before I felt confident being in Onederland. I can ride the waves of the journey and still be below 200. I will have a good day today. My head is on straight and my thinking cap is on.
    Day 03 – 07/16 …..195.6….. Shed water all night so the whoosh is no surprise. I knew I was retaining water from a few days of a few bad choices. I put more thought into my meal planning yesterday although my steps were only at 9000+. Maybe today I can get in more steps. Workers will be here again today. Starting new projects while waiting for the drywall finisher.
    Day 04 – 07/17 …..195.4….. I would like to get to the 192’s in the coming couple of weeks. That would put me about ½ way to the 180’s. It is much slower when watching calories instead of just carbs, but I am hoping the weight loss will be more lasting.
    Day 05 - 07/18 …..194.8….. I had a great but scary day yesterday. Great that I stuck to plan and got in a bit of a hike. Scary that I finally decided to log my food for the first time since before covid. Thanks to all of you who chimed in to help me figure out my new macros and goals. I may have to play with it a bit but I feel good about facing my weaknesses right now and looking at them square in the face which is how logging my food feels right now to me. I know my choices in foods are not always the greatest. That is the scary part. Do I really want to see it in writing again? I’m ready for this step. It helped me lose a lot of weight before and I know it will again. It’s a commitment and those can be hard for me. I felt ready yesterday and am still feeling good today.
    Day 06 – 07/19 …..194.0….. Very low calorie yesterday. Even lower than what I ended up on my logging. Due to my workers coming late and staying so late, I ate way later than usual (11:00 PM). I prelogged so that I could close out for the day but I didn’t end up fitting in my evening snack. My very late dinner had filled me up. Today should be back up to goal. I saw a nice drop on the scale this morning and on my body fat %, but it may be temporary due to yesterdays low calorie. My BMI is still at 32.5. I have a long way to go before getting out of obese and into overweight. I am still aiming for 192 point anything as that will make me so much closer to the new decade. I need to plan my meals for today so I can stay on track. I’m starving already! I scrubbed down the outside of the house yesterday with the help of a neighbor teenager. I didn’t log it as exercise but my burn was very good yesterday because of that.
    Day 07 – 07/20 …..194.4….. I don’t get it. I had a day with calories left over in the green. My meals were not sodium filled so there should not have been water retention. TMI yesterday evening was so-so. But it was there. Just as we have been talking about in our conversations, the numbers don’t always make sense for many of us. I guess I will have to be patient and ride it out. It’s a helluva journey but we are all worth it, right?
    Day 08 – 07/21 …..193.4….. Finally those low calorie days showed up on the scale! Thank you @dawnbgethealthy for reminding me that it could take a few days to arrive! I did up my calories yesterday by eating a higher calorie dinner I may not have chosen otherwise, just to fit in some calories (or they would have been way too low again). I did not over eat. I just chose something with a higher count. I did yard work yesterday. I also stacked quite a bit of wood and did some raking. However, I did not close all my circles and my calorie burn was lower so I will work on getting in a walk or a small hike today. I’ve got to take advantage of this weather and stay active!

    So a slow week this week, not sure why, wondering if I should eat all my calories or leave a deficit, also do we gain when its mega hot as well?

    Once in awhile I eat back the calories, but usually not.
    Really good point about the hot weather!
    I wonder if that is stalling me at all. Yesterday I was overheated for sure. Hmm.

    Thanks @Miyoka_Tata :)
    I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
    Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
    UGW 110-115

    This is my 7th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
    Round 5 loss 4.6. Round 6 - gain of 0.08
    24.8 pound loss over 601 days.
    I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
    I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.

    Day 1 7/14:132.2 - Wish that I had weighed this yesterday instead of 133.9 to end the previous 100! 312 in the Green
    Day 2 7/15: 132.2 - Usually my weight jumps around quite around a bit, nice to see that I didn't somehow gain. 489 in the Green
    Day 3 7/16: 133.1 - Had Beef Palak last night 803 in the Green
    Day 4 7/17: 132.9 - 390 in the Green

    1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
    1st Week Actual Weight: 132.9
    Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 1994. Divided by the 4 days is 798.5, very close to my goal of having a 500 calories deficit each day (3500 calories in a pound, so shooting to lose 1 pound per week)

    Day 5: Sun, 7/18: 133.3 - owch. 616 in the Green
    Day 6: Mon, 7/19: 133.9 - I didn't do anything to gain. I will keep plugging along though. I am working out of town today and have scheduled 2 visits with separate groups up there once I finish my work, and then another back here. Would have been nice to have a cushion since there will be drinks and snacks at all 3. 334 in the Green
    Day 7: Tues, 7/20: 132.8 - I have an evening shift today and a split shift tomorrow. I don't like eating so late, but I eat so many vegetables with my dinner that I don't eat before work so that I am not gassy lol. 906
    Day 8: Wed, 7/21: 133.3 - Late dinner, as tonight will be because of my work schedule. I really do know that eating late is a killer to my weight loss, but it is what it is.
    Day 9: Thurs, 7/22:
    Day 10: Fri, 7/23:
    Day 11: Sat, 7/24:

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
    2nd Week Actual Weight: 132.9
    Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker):

    Challenge Starting Weight: 132.2
    Challenge Goal: 122.2

    So a slow week this week, not sure why, wondering if I should eat all my calories or leave a deficit, also do we gain when its mega hot as well?
    MFP is designed to give you a calorie goal that already includes a deficit based on the rate of loss that you entered, so you should aim to eat all the calories it tells you! In saying that, the estimates of calories burned from exercise can often be a bit inflated so some people choose to only eat back a portion of their exercise calories.

    In terms of the hot weather, I find that I retain a lot of water when it's hot - can tell because rings fit tighter etc.

    100 Days of Weighing In - Round 9
    2021 Word: Peace

    About Me
    Female, Age 34, 5'3", Proud Aussie
    Highest weight: 305.1 (August 14th, 2020)
    Current round start weight: 273.4

    History & Goals
    2017: Weighed around 275 lbs, had a cancer scare and started IVF
    2018: Successful IVF on our third transfer, gave birth in December to a healthy baby boy
    2019: Returned to work, gained progressively, weighed around 300 lbs
    2020: Hit my highest ever weight of 305 lbs, decided I could not let this continue and rediscovered MFP. Lost about 15 lbs and finished the year at 293 lbs.
    2021: Ups and downs but slow and steady progress, lost another 20 lbs so far this year.

    I have a goal ladder that helps me stay focused on teeny tiny little milestones.
    Current goal ladder rung: 20% of the way there!

    Current Focus:
    1. Sleep (target: 7 hours per night)
    2. Calorie deficit (target: any)
    3. Exercise consistency (target: 20 mins per day)
    4. Screen-free before bed (target: 5 nights per week)
    5. Limit social media (target: sub-60 minutes per day)
    6. Complete Body Boss pre-training program (currently on week 2 of 4)
    Day 1: Wed, 7/14: 273.4 - all focus goals complete for today!
    Day 2: Thurs, 7/15: 272.5 - all focus complete for today! Down 0.9 lbs, probably water weight as I was retaining last week and have dropped a lot in the last few days.
    Day 3: Fri, 7/16: 272.7 - didn't have a good day yesterday, overate and didn't exercise.
    Day 4: Sat, 7/17: 272.3 - another sub-par day with no exercise and overating! I refeed on the weekends, but not usually by this much. Need to refocus today.
    1st Week Goal Weight: 273.0
    1st Week Actual Weight: 272.3
    1st Week Weight Lost: 1.1 lbs

    Day 5: Sun, 7/18: 275.1 - ate pizza last night, the sodium has caused a blip of water weight. It will come back down!
    Day 6: Mon, 7/19: 274.3 - had a much better day, calorie-wise. Went for a nice walk to a nearby park with my son and my sister and played there for a while, and did some yoga in the evening which was a nice stretch. Water weight is coming back down, hope to see that continue.
    Day 7: Tues, 7/20: 273.2 - had another good day. Stayed in my calorie range and did a YouTube step class video which worked up a great sweat. Hoping to see the scale continue to move down as I drop that water weight I picked up last week!
    Day 8: Wed, 7/21: 272.7 - another good day, almost got the water weight gone. Stayed in my calorie range and played Beat Saber on my VR for 20 minutes before it was time to wind down for bed. I had planned to play for longer but my sister dropped by for a visit and didn't leave until 9:30pm! Took my toddler to his first Kinder Gym class and he loved it, so he will be able to go each week and I'll go to the gym while he's in class. I don't get to the gym much but it's right around the corner from the dance studio so it will work out well.
    Day 9: Thurs, 7/22: 272.5 - another good day, but don't think I'll hit my adjusted goal for this week. I was originally aiming for 272 but changed it after I finished Week 1 with such a low number. I hope I can hit that original goal, it's still a good target for me!

    100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ July 14 through Oct 21, 2021
    My Name is Donna, Age 61. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.


    145320379.png


    “We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou

    Ending Weight Last Round (start weight this round): 195.2 lbs


    Day 01 – 07/14 …..196.0….. Ouch! Starting a bit higher than I’d hoped for. No proper TMI since last weigh-in. However, I know the peanut butter filled pretzels with those big chunks of rock salt on them didn’t help. I know I am retaining fluids. No proper pee either. Sorry so graphic but all of that does make a difference. Today I am taking my son and his friend for a short trip out of town for the Dairy Queen. I will keep my meal small and try to get in some extra steps later today. Water….water….water…. So nice to see some newbies to the challenge! Welcome! Good luck everyone. I’m on your side and offer 100% support!
    Day 02 – 07/15 …..196.8….. Regular hamburger and blizzard at the DQ. Looked up calories later and found the medium pecan turtle blizzard is 900 calories!!!! Yes you read that right! 900. After seeing that, I kept the rest of the evening and night very low cal. I ate less than I burned for the day so I’m disappointed to see a gain. No TMI x 2 is probably contributing. I will be drinking cleanse tea today in the hopes of emptying. I will also stay accountable. The ups & downs of it all are frustrating when you are still trying to enjoy life. This is exactly why I wanted to firmly get into the 197’s before I felt confident being in Onederland. I can ride the waves of the journey and still be below 200. I will have a good day today. My head is on straight and my thinking cap is on.
    Day 03 – 07/16 …..195.6….. Shed water all night so the whoosh is no surprise. I knew I was retaining water from a few days of a few bad choices. I put more thought into my meal planning yesterday although my steps were only at 9000+. Maybe today I can get in more steps. Workers will be here again today. Starting new projects while waiting for the drywall finisher.
    Day 04 – 07/17 …..195.4….. I would like to get to the 192’s in the coming couple of weeks. That would put me about ½ way to the 180’s. It is much slower when watching calories instead of just carbs, but I am hoping the weight loss will be more lasting.
    Day 05 - 07/18 …..194.8….. I had a great but scary day yesterday. Great that I stuck to plan and got in a bit of a hike. Scary that I finally decided to log my food for the first time since before covid. Thanks to all of you who chimed in to help me figure out my new macros and goals. I may have to play with it a bit but I feel good about facing my weaknesses right now and looking at them square in the face which is how logging my food feels right now to me. I know my choices in foods are not always the greatest. That is the scary part. Do I really want to see it in writing again? I’m ready for this step. It helped me lose a lot of weight before and I know it will again. It’s a commitment and those can be hard for me. I felt ready yesterday and am still feeling good today.
    Day 06 – 07/19 …..194.0….. Very low calorie yesterday. Even lower than what I ended up on my logging. Due to my workers coming late and staying so late, I ate way later than usual (11:00 PM). I prelogged so that I could close out for the day but I didn’t end up fitting in my evening snack. My very late dinner had filled me up. Today should be back up to goal. I saw a nice drop on the scale this morning and on my body fat %, but it may be temporary due to yesterdays low calorie. My BMI is still at 32.5. I have a long way to go before getting out of obese and into overweight. I am still aiming for 192 point anything as that will make me so much closer to the new decade. I need to plan my meals for today so I can stay on track. I’m starving already! I scrubbed down the outside of the house yesterday with the help of a neighbor teenager. I didn’t log it as exercise but my burn was very good yesterday because of that.
    Day 07 – 07/20 …..194.4….. I don’t get it. I had a day with calories left over in the green. My meals were not sodium filled so there should not have been water retention. TMI yesterday evening was so-so. But it was there. Just as we have been talking about in our conversations, the numbers don’t always make sense for many of us. I guess I will have to be patient and ride it out. It’s a helluva journey but we are all worth it, right?
    Day 08 – 07/21 …..193.4….. Finally those low calorie days showed up on the scale! Thank you @dawnbgethealthy for reminding me that it could take a few days to arrive! I did up my calories yesterday by eating a higher calorie dinner I may not have chosen otherwise, just to fit in some calories (or they would have been way too low again). I did not over eat. I just chose something with a higher count. I did yard work yesterday. I also stacked quite a bit of wood and did some raking. However, I did not close all my circles and my calorie burn was lower so I will work on getting in a walk or a small hike today. I’ve got to take advantage of this weather and stay active!
    Day 09 – 07/22 …..194.2….. Dammit! I got really hungry last night because dinner earlier just didn’t satisfy. I ended up eating extra “diet” snacks. I was in the red by 199 calories. 0.8 heavier today which is concerning because I am having a long travel day today which will mean restaurants and sitting. I dread tomorrow’s weigh-in! On the good side – my trend weight is still going down. Staying grateful!

    Thanks @Miyoka_Tata :)
    I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
    Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
    UGW 110-115

    This is my 7th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
    Round 5 loss 4.6. Round 6 - gain of 0.08
    24.8 pound loss over 601 days.
    I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
    I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.

    Day 1 7/14:132.2 - Wish that I had weighed this yesterday instead of 133.9 to end the previous 100! 312 in the Green
    Day 2 7/15: 132.2 - Usually my weight jumps around quite around a bit, nice to see that I didn't somehow gain. 489 in the Green
    Day 3 7/16: 133.1 - Had Beef Palak last night 803 in the Green
    Day 4 7/17: 132.9 - 390 in the Green

    1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
    1st Week Actual Weight: 132.9
    Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 1994. Divided by the 4 days is 798.5, very close to my goal of having a 500 calories deficit each day (3500 calories in a pound, so shooting to lose 1 pound per week)

    Day 5: Sun, 7/18: 133.3 - owch. 616 in the Green
    Day 6: Mon, 7/19: 133.9 - I didn't do anything to gain. I will keep plugging along though. I am working out of town today and have scheduled 2 visits with separate groups up there once I finish my work, and then another back here. Would have been nice to have a cushion since there will be drinks and snacks at all 3. 334 in the Green
    Day 7: Tues, 7/20: 132.8 - I have an evening shift today and a split shift tomorrow. I don't like eating so late, but I eat so many vegetables with my dinner that I don't eat before work so that I am not gassy lol. 906 in the Green
    Day 8: Wed, 7/21: 133.3 - Late dinner, as tonight will be because of my work schedule. I really do know that eating late is a killer to my weight loss, but it is what it is. 391 in the Green
    Day 9: Thurs, 7/22: 132.8 - Bouncing around as usual. Of course i would rather be bouncing around in the 120s, hopefully eventually!
    Day 10: Fri, 7/23:
    Day 11: Sat, 7/24:

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
    2nd Week Actual Weight: 132.9
    Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker):

    Challenge Starting Weight: 132.2
    Challenge Goal: 122.2
