Day/Weight/Comment.
10/29: 181.0
10/30: 181.0 did 25k yesterday. But was sooo hungry in the evening… ordered a chicken burger with fries… in the end… I felt stuffed, uncomfortable and I don’t know why I did it. I almost never eat burgers and fries
… I think there was a lot of anxiety playing around that.
10/31: 181.6
11/1: ??? Forgot to weight myself. Rest day today. Yesterday a guy on a bike kicked me twice while I was riding. He tried to steal my bike. I fell at the first kick and have a big bruise on my hip, where he kicked me the second time while I was on the ground. And my knee is swollen. But good in general. 🤞 both me and my bike are ok. Glad there were 2 woman walking by and they stopped. He left as soon as they approached Us. Thank so much to those two woman!!! Be careful out there!

*********************************************
10/29 148.2 (trend 148.4) Weight is back up again but I did drink a large glass of water half an hour before weighing so I can probably take a pound off this. Had takeaway chicken shish and salad for dinner, asked them to swap the pita for extra red cabbage but they swapped it for fries instead! Yes, I ate them, whoops! I decided to add half a pound back on to my round goal as I think I was being overly optimistic! Didn't sleep well, I've been up since 3.30 and have the plasterers in all day then guests arriving at 6 so it's gonna be a looong day... Happy Friday peeps x
10/30 147.0 (trend 148.2) had people over, we got an Indian takeaway. Really tricky to find low calorie options, ended up with chicken tikka with a few poppadoms and some salad. I ordered a vegetable side dish but it didn't come so had a chocolate cereal bar for pudding instead.
10/31 147.2 (trend 148.1) I haven't been logging my food for the last few days as things have been a bit hectic. I also had a pretty big binge last night so I'm in a bit of a danger zone and really need to get my discipline back. We went to pizza hut yesterday for lunch, I stuck to just the salad bar but did have some of the more creamy things like coleslaw and blue cheese dressing so probably still had a lot of calories. In the evening I was feeling a bit stressed and tired so ended up stuffing my face with food. I really need to get back in control.
11/01 146.8 (trend 147.9) Incredibly tired all day so I spent much of it in bed and didn't eat anything until the evening. I'm beginning to suspect I have developed a gluten sensitivity. It's a brand new month and I plan to start as I mean to go on, healthy habits and weighing/logging accurately. If I can't track it I can't have it!
11/02 146.0 (trend 147.7) I don't really understand where this drop came from as I've been eating at or above maintenance for several days. I was peeing a lot yesterday so I'm guessing I just let go of a chunk of water weight.

@quiltingjaine thank you for starting another round. Btw, I noticed the title of this round states 20 days instead of 10 days.
4’9” petite-sm. boned female. 59 yrs
Ultimate goal: 98 lbs (subject to change)
SW (starting over--May 24, 2021): 160.3I started mfp on 2/20/11 at 160.2 lbs.
My lowest weight on mfp was 140 lbs in 11/2013 and 5/2014.
My highest weight ever: 168+ (and I wasn't even pregnant at that time... ) That was in 12/2016.
Just for the record used to be an athlete a long, long time ago. Used to teach Aerobics and Step Aerobics. Used to LOVE exercise.
Nowadays, I don't exercise at all. Why, oh why not? How can I go from loving exercise and doing tons of exercise to nothing at all?
Going from low blood pressure to being on medication for high blood pressure. What have I done to myself?!

Round 167 (99th for me). I need this to help keep me on track.
@QuiltingJaine-thank you for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to yet again get back on track; I'm endeavouring to have a binge free 10 days, after all it's just 10 days! – I want to drop a few pounds by the start of December as I feel more comfy in a dress I want to wear for Peaky Blinders dance night – any loss will be a win!
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” sometime ago, but remember there is still a pandemic, cases are continuing to rise: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider 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
10/29 136.4 – 8.48 miles walked yesterday, nearly all pushing toddler DGS in buggy. 85 calories & 20 carbs over.
10/30 135.8 – 10.37 miles walked yesterday, calories in goal, carbs 40 over, no binge, good choices.
10/31 135.8 – 11.88 miles walked yesterday, calories well in goal despite pizza night, carbs 7 over. NB {no binge!)
11/1 135.2 - No walking yesterday, rain all day and DD & family came for Sunday lunch. Just about stayed within calories, carbs 30 over. No binge
11/2 135.8 – 13.89 miles walked yesterday. Started to indulge in some of the left over Halloween chocolate treats, but kept it in check without starting a binge, weighed and logged it all; calories well in goal, carbs 20 over. Can't believe we're halfway through the round!!
11/3 135.8 – 9.57 miles walked yesterday. Calories & carbs both within limits, no binge. First frost of winter – it was cold, but at least dry! Out came the winter walking coat !

I am Catherine, a 44yr old, 5' 7” lady from North Wales, UK.
Round 166 - 79kg (12st 6lb), EW 75kg. Was my first week calorie controlling for a long time so the loss was all water really… now the hard work starts!
SW: 75kg (11st, 11.5lb)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/29: 75.5kg (11st 12.5lb). Went trampolining yesterday and fit in my jeans for the first time in months (they are still very tight!). My eating was fine so I assume the lb regain is a blip that will even itself out tomorrow!
10/30: 75.5kg again.
10/31: 74.5kg (11st 10lb)
11/1: 74.5kg (11st 10lb). Back to school for Ellie today so we are in a rush!!
11/2: 75kg (11st, 11.5lb). I’ve been eating ok so I think this is probably just normal fluctuation and will drop off tomorrow or the next day. School mornings are hard 😩
11/3: 75.5kg. This is where I normally quit because losing weight is HARD. I’m still sticking to my calories, weighing my food and getting in my steps. I have to assume the 2lb gain back over 2 days will sort itself out if I stay consistent. 🥺🤞

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 - 187.8
10/31 - 187.8 Did well until last evening when I mindlessly ate far more than necessary for dinner. Didn’t meet calorie target, but at least think I stayed under maintenance.
11/1 - 185.8 Thankfully at least a little of the previous weigh-ins seem to be water weight. Very good day yesterday. Didn’t get exercise in like I hoped, but did get 10,000 steps, stayed within calorie goals, and meal prepped for the whole week ahead. Hoping I can stick with it as I know it’s going to be a stressful week.
11/2 - 185.6 Despite a busy day at work, my meal prepping helped me stay within my calorie goals. At the end of the day when I wanted to relax with a beer, I went for a short walk instead. Now up early to being work again.
11/3 - 183.4 Not quite sure whether I can believe this weigh-in. Stayed on track with my eating yesterday, but was sedentary at my desk almost all day. Hoping this sticks and wasn’t a fluke on the scale!

11/03 146.0 (trend 147.5) Got my blood taken yesterday to check my thyroid after showing as mildly hypothyroid 2 months ago, I'll get the results tomorrow hopefully. I think it's going to be ok as I'm feeling more energetic recently, though I'm still losing lots of hair. My contractor showed me how to point up brick work so I spent most of the day doing that. Ate within calories and healthily.

11/03 - 147.5 - The hunger monster attacked yesterday. No matter what, I was huuuuuungry. Will be better today. Only packed lunch and protein shake today. No cash and the vending machine only takes cash (thank you universe for that forced avoidance). Water was good yesterday and hoping for that again today. Soreness from 5k finally going away, too. Lunch is an hour so I'll see if I can't take a nice walk after eating before I have to be back in the classroom.

Previous Day's Comments10/29 - Sometimes I wonder if my body is playing tricks on me. A sudden unexplained gain that just so happens to fall on the end of the round? Followed by a much more expected weight one day later? Hmmmm, suspicious. Oh well, moving on. Cold and super windy here these last few days. Haven't taken the pup because the last time I did, I nearly got blown away. Hopefully today is calmer and I don't have to coordinate between work meetings to get outside for one. Still feeling okay, BF still sounding horrible. Doing my best to keep up with my tea/supplement regime. Reishi, ashwagandha, and cinnamon in mornings, ginger, turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne in evenings. Gut boosting, inflammatory reducing, and immune assisting. Zinc and a Vit C/D on hand as well if I feel my diet isn't sufficient to provide those.
10/30 - Now I'm really confused! I expected to be up, especially with a later night snack involved (granted, just a handful of cashews, but still a late snack). I'm sure this will bounce back up tomorrow, it seems oddly low given how I haven't exactly been the best food wise. Also, could be lack of water. I only hit about 70-75 oz water yesterday versus my normal 90+ oz. Still good since doc wants me to drink 1/2 body weight in oz, but lower than normal. Bit of a dry throat this morning, thankfully not crazy sore. Started off with a tea right away and now on to room temperature water to sooth it better. Thinking of breaking my fast to make a honey-mushroom shot for immunity and to sooth the dryness a bit more.
10/31 - I don't trust this. Either my body or the scale is playing tricks with me. 144.x is elusive and has been for months. I wasn't careful with food yesterday (BF made breakfast tacos, I had a bagel and peanut butter for lunch, and finally got my senses straight to make stuffed pepper soup for dinner. With a roll. Then BF wanted my homemade brownies which I couldn't resist and had a piece). It'll probably show up tomorrow. This is beyond odd to have 144 two days in a row like that. I don't want to hope too much, but part of me is excited this may be the end of my months-long adjustment (about every 10lbs, looking at my historical data). I have a 5k today. I don't think I'll try to run it all, I haven't run in weeks due to work and I'm just not feeling it 100%. I have a dry throat again this morning, drinking tea before I set off to walk this. Dang. Was hoping this would be a good benchmark for my actual 5k in 3 weeks. Will try to run where I can manage without overdoing it or causing injury. Will have pup so probably have to pause to drop her off before continuing it at some point. At least the fresh air should do me some good!
11/01 - This is more what I've been expecting. Not quite enough water (minimum goal), pizza, and holy moly the soreness! My knee hurt horribly last night. So bad that it starting shooting pain up into my hip. This morning is better, but I can feel the tension in the outside of my leg from knee to hip. Also major soreness in quads. Tried to stretch yesterday -- seems I did a better job with my hamstrings than quads. Ah, live and learn. Allergies got me. They've been really bad in my area for a few days and that run outside stuffed me up good. I used a Neti pot this morning and cleared out some gunk so I can breathe and feel better already. Will take my allergy meds today for sure (and the nasal spray!) Today will work on water and better food choices. Hav - Good ol' early wakeup to commute. Was under maintenance but over goal calories yesterday, my own fault. I was mindlessly eating. Glad I didn't go up further. Water was back on track at over 90oz. Goal for today is to stick to water. I'll be in a classroom all day so not a lot of movement. Hopefully we'll get breaks frequently enough to get moving.e leftover stuffed pepper soup for lunch, at least!

Typical life with horses!

10/29 208.5 @ fishing camp 🎣 Strength Training 1 hr, no walk, long car drive, 2037 cal, 226 net carbs, AF.
10/30 207.9 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2.6 miles, fishing, 1224 cal, 112 net carbs, AF.
10/31 209.0 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing caught 21” Speckled Trout, 1653 cal, 124 net carbs, 3 drinks. Way too many chips (even counting them) with fried fresh fish tacos w/ avocado. Driving home today to spend the evening with our adult kids eating traditional chili and handing out full size (not fun size) M&Ms candy while we sit out on the driveway. Taking my mom with us for a long visit.
11/1 209.6 Long drive, .5 mile walk, bad food choices, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Time to turn things around and get focused on getting back under 205.
Brought my mom back to visit for the baby shower at the end of the week as well as doctor’s visits she scheduled in Houston.
11/2 207.9 Walked 3.2. miles, gardening, 1692 cal, 70 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Bought and planted flowers yesterday in front of my house! Snapdragons, Pansies, Kale, Alyssum, and a few extra for the large pot next to the door. Great exercise weeding digging planting ... not to mention lugging big bags of mulch.
11/3 207.7 Walked .6 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 1848 cal, 171 net carbs, AF. Lots of shopping & mom’s doctors visits. But did cook chicken enchilada soup (added zucchini) in crock pot so we had a healthier dinner when we returned home!

My mother self diagnosis and medicates usually. She has had neuropathy for 4 years but would not see someone about it. Took my mom to a doctor about her neuropathy in her feet & lower legs. Her doc has not done A1c lab work but this one thinks she might be pre-diabetic so she will get more lab work to check. He is switching her from over the internet TrueWell (150 mg alpha-lipoid acid) to EBM’s pharmaceutical grade EB-N6 (600 mg alpha-lipoid acid). Said she is not a candidate for his program to reverse with surgery. She is 85 (5’4” 175 lbs) and eats primarily carbs with few vegetables & protein. He recommended she start keto and then switch to Mediterranean diet. Read Sugar Crush and Fat for Fuel to better understand what she is doing to her body with all the carbs. We checked these books out from the library. She needs to walk, bike or swim at least 20 min 3x per week so I took her out for a short walk … she is active but doesn’t exercise. I also have her doing daily stretches and exercises for her sciatic nerve issue. It is hard to incorporate these changes in an 85 year old … but reinforces my path to healthier lifestyle and I need to get back focused on my own journey to lowering the number on the scale!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/29 - 219.8 WHAT?! I will say my body was just running through water yesterday. I kept drinking more and more throughout the day. I went home after work and worked out. Set a new 30 minute PR on the Peloton. Woke up this morning and did 40 more minutes. So we're seeing 2 workouts between yesterday's weigh-in and today. First time seeing teens!
10/30 - 218.9
10/31 - 219.4
11/01 - 220.2 Honestly not surprised because halloween weekend is crazy. Party, getting everything ready for trick or treat, etc. really put exercise on the back-burner. Still worked out every day but just not as hard. I also think the time that I weigh on weekend vs Monday makes an impact and my Monday bike rides are always easy to ease into the week.
11/02 - 221.1 My weight is so strange, I swear. Every day I do essentially the same thing with diet, exercise, movement, water, etc. Never makes sense, but still keep pushing every day. Feels like I've been stuck in the 220s forever. Just let me get down to teens and stay there please!
11/03 - 219.8 Alright, back to goal weight for the round. I find that comparing to a week ago is helpful to see progress. 1 week ago I weighed in at 222.7 so while I have had a lower weigh-in this round, I'm still down 2.9 lbs since last Wednesday. Did 2 20 minute rides this morning on the Peloton, getting ready for my 100th ride this Sunday!

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.

OK peeps, this represents several things. First and foremost, it is my lethargic approach as of late. It also represents a fundraising event last night that was in the “taste of” mode, offering a little bit of a LOT of things. I partook of all. It was a salty-sweet sensual / emotional eating catastrophe train wreck. And finally … too much information.
No hugs please. What I need a time-out in the corner. I will bounce back.
11/3: 207.8
Yesterday was a disciplined day. Right eating and really good exercise. Need to stack a few of these days up. I think where I get into trouble is when I stack undisciplined days.
Maybe a good intermediate goal should be that if I have a “bad day,” I will follow it up with a good one. Even if on an extended weekend or week-long trip with friends. This may seem like a cop out, but let’s face it, I will always have undisciplined days sprinkled through my life. At least I hope so. HA!

Ok, well, at least my average isn’t rising. The floor has taken longer than planned because the guy’s assistant won’t show up for work, but hopefully he can wrap it up today and we can reassemble the house and eat normally again. I’ve decided that since books, including cookbooks, and other stuff are all out of their homes, it’s a good time to “Marie Kondo” a lot of things!
10/30 - 179.6
Floors are finished—yay! Now to put everything away (and not all over my office floor!). And now I can get back to eating conscientiously. I’m happy and relieved that I didn’t gain this past week. Enjoy your weekend!
10/31 - 🎃 179.6
Happy Halloween, Feliz Dia de Los Muertos, Blessed Samhain! I kept to my calorie goal yesterday, but have a little lag time from heavier days to deal with. All good!
11/01 - 179.7
I confess—I ate several Hershey’s minis last night. Oh well! Now I’m off for a long walk with the pupper! I’ll do better today. 😁
11/02 - 179.6
Aaack — ate over calorie goal. Time to get serious again. I want to get out of the 70s by the end of the year. No more evening snacks!!! I was doing well with that but have backslid the past week.
11/03 - 178.4
So interesting — my calories have been higher (~1600) the past two weeks, and I’ve held steady, but then this drop. I am moving a lot—long walks with the pup plus doggy school two days a week. And I’m off for one of those walkies now!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/29: 157.2 - Did Jazzercise at the in-person location for the first time in 17 months. Sucked wind through my mask the whole time. Will probably go back to virtual class for a while more. Ate a little bit below calories - which I am definitely not trying to do - since we were at a hockey game and didn’t want to eat junk food just to fill calories.
10/30: 156.5 - Did a 5.46 mile hike. I was a bit hungry yesterday, particularly after dinner, even though my stomach felt full. Powered through with drinking some water and waiting. Will definitely try to up the protein today, but it is a struggle for me.
10/31: 156.3 - This was our week for sporting events. NHL game on Thursday and college football game last night. Planned the food for the most part and stayed within calories. Worked out in the morning along with a long walk from the car to the stadium.
11/01: 156.5 - Slept in yesterday until 9am - very unusual for me so ended up not doing my workout until nearly 11am. Planned my eating and included Reese’s Peanut Butter cups as part of the dessert. Wow, after eating dark chocolate almost everyday, the Reese’s really wasn’t worth the calories - way too sweet. I’m glad to know that I won’t tempted by the leftover Halloween candy.
11/02: 156.5 - Rainy day yesterday, so didn’t go for a walk, but did an hour of Jazzercise in the morning. Ate within calories
11/03: 155.6 - Jazzercise and a 40 minute walk. Pretty much ate the same thing as yesterday.

10/29 216.4 (-.4) Almost fifty pounds down since May. That’s amazing. I hope to be down fifty more by May of next year. I may skip my indulgence meal this week. It really threw me off last week. No organized exercise today, so I’ll have to really pay attention to my calories.
10/30 215.2 (-1.6) Yes…finally a bit of a whoosh. 216 has always been my stuck weight. I’d diet and get there and then get stuck long enough to give up. I’ve only passed it once in the last 20 years. I was so careful to stay on plan yesterday and to get my water. Today is Orange Theory Fitness and tomorrow is hiking about 6 miles. Looking forward to a good and healthy week.
10/31 215.6 (-1.2) Worked at out OTF yesterday. Doing lunges, I noticed that I’m pretty stable on my feet, which has not been the case in the past. My balance is definitely improving. Hiking this morning on a cold fall day in Colorado. Happy Halloween!
11/1 215 (-1.8) My sister and I planned to hike six miles yesterday. It was really foggy in the mountains and when we got to the top, it was drizzling and we were concerned we’d be climbing down the steep parts in snow. We cut the hike short (4 miles) and finished before the weather got worse. It was cold. I need to pull out my long underwear. Still beautiful, as always. Busy day today with no scheduled exercise.
11/2 214.6 (-2.2) After bouncing around so much last round, I’m finally losing a bit at a time. I skipped my indulgence meal last week, so I’ll be ready for one on Friday. I’m spending that time and those calories going out to lunch with a good friend. I can’t wait. Swimming today. How are halfway through this challenge already?
11/3 214.0 (-2.8) Woohoo! Officially over 50 pounds down…51 to be exact. I don’t ever remember losing 50 pounds before (although I never needed to). I’m almost halfway to my goal weight. Busy day today. No formal exercise, just lots of time on my feet. Next mini-goal? 199

OSW-187-2018
GW-145
10/29-168-No time to exercise but worked yesterday and only sat down to eat the healthy lunch I brought.
10/30-168-Went out to see the horse and we walked a mile together. Went to work, then ate chips on the way home. 😬
11/2-173-Well, goodness. Lots of travel to spend my dad’s 84th birthday with him. Lots of heavy food and drinks. Next, traveled to my uncles for more food, drink and visiting. The trip home was long and here I am. I had lemon water cheese and crackers for dinner last night and can’t wait to get out and move today.
11/3-170-Whew! Lots of water and sensible eating. It had been so wet that I was just hiking with the horse. I finally got in the arena but forgot my saddle, so I rode for hours with the bareback pad and it was fun. I think it helps my core strength and my hips were really sore when I got done. Continued cutting out projects for my quilting retreat. A walk and then to work today.10 -

10/28 …..189.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/29 …..186.6 ….. (Trend weight 187.2) A nice drop after a day with very careful meals. However, the snacks weren’t good. Once on that cycle the cravings are horrid. All the more reason to stick to our guns and STAY AWAY from things not in the plan. Happy to see this drop. TMI helped too. Travel today, unfortunately. Seriously low on tile for the bathroom reno so away I go this morning. Back this evening by 6:00 I hope. Lunch out. Dinner at home is the plan.
10/30 …..188.0 ….. ( Trend weight 187.3)Travel and car-sitting weight showing up so no surprise here. I’m going to work on having an excellent day. Time for compensation. The piper wants his pay.
10/31 …..188.4 ….. (Trend weight 187.3) Halloween Candy. End of Story.
11/01 …..189.4 ….. (Trend weight 187.7) Pizza and candy. All things an overweight diabetic should not eat. I haven’t been logging either. Just log breakfast everyday then never get around to logging the rest of the meals or the exercise. Still struggling with others in the house right now. I’ve got to find some time for me too.
11/02 …..189.0 ….. (Trend weight 187.8) Scale down but trend is up and that is disturbing but motivating. First snow last night in Northern Michigan which is still stuck to the ground this morning. But the sun is shining (somewhat) and I’m feeling pretty good today so I’m going to run with that. We are halfway through this challenge already? Wait a minute, didn't it just start? Wow, I've got some serious work to do!
11/03 …..189.0 ….. (Trend weight 187.9) Good News. They got the entire breast lump with surgery and all margins show no signs of cancer. Overjoyed. With a young adult Autistic Son with me, I always worry about my longevity. Now, to apply that (again) to my lifestyle and eating habits! Today is my daughter’s birthday (the one who is living with me). There will be cake & ice cream and special dinner but I will work hard to not go overboard! I would love to end this round with a lower overall number and back on track in mind, body and soul! My body has been through a lot since early August when they first found the skin lump. It’s time to treat it right and show it the respect it deserves.

Let’s do this!

SW: 206.2
Day/Weight/Comment
10/29: 206.4 56 net carbs yesterday, step goal achieved, and Pelo ride done. Why the uptick? Bodies work in mysterious ways. 🤷♀️ I know it’s nothing I did, so it’s all good. It may be lingering hormones. I’m so close to that 1 in front of the number that I can taste it, so I’ll keep pressing forward.
10/30: 206.2 It’s good to see the number drop again, but I do think the carby pizza I had last night showed itself this morning. My fingers were a little puffy when I woke up. 85 net carbs, strength training done, but slightly short on my step goal. It’s all good. I’m going to make today count!
10/31: 206.2 I’m not surprised I didn’t drop this morning. I had a girls day out with my daughters yesterday and we wound up at a conveyor sushi restaurant for dinner. I kept it reasonable though, and managed to keep in my calorie goal. Carbs came in at 103 for the day. Step goal achieved though! On to today.
11/1: 206.0 Kind of annoyed it’s not more. I had a great day yesterday- 59 net carbs and step goal achieved. But maybe I need to work on my thinking around how my body should behave in response to my actions. We all know the body does it’s own thing, so maybe I need to readjust my expectations. But also, this could still be the sushi water weight hanging around too. Idk. It’s Monday though, and a fresh, shiny new week. Let’s roll!
11/2: 204.4 There it is! Of course, I had some digestive issues last night that probably helped get me that number, but it’s a fair trade off. I think I’ve become sensitive to cooked cauliflower of all things. This is not the first time, but it has been a few weeks since I last ate the stuff. I love cauliflower in any form, so this saddens me. 😢 56 net carbs and strength training done. I do think I’m going to reduce my step goal back down to 10,000. It’s been a stretch to hit 11,500 a lot of days lately, which stresses me out more than it should.
11/3: 204.2 I was hoping for more, but I’ll take it. 48 net carbs yesterday, Pelo ride done, and hit 10,000 steps. I’m still mulling over changing my step goal, but figured hitting 10,000 is my bare minimum goal. I really can’t wait to see 199, but man! It’s coming so slowly! I did do my monthly measurements on Monday and was astounded by my hips and waist measurements. Down 8.5” on my hips and 9.5” on my waist since August!
