Excited to do this again! I think it's super helpful during these holiday months as it helps keep me on track during the days in between the big events! I lost 1.2 lbs. last time and am hoping to do even better this time!
11/28 - 165.0 lbs
11/29 - 165.6 lbs
11/30 - 165.8 lbs
12/01 - 164.8 lbs - Husband's birthday today! Hoping not to go too crazy, but am glad I woke up this morning with a good loss! Seems like the Thanksgiving weight has finally come down!
12/02 - 167.2 lbs - DEFINITELY ate too much last night, but jumping right back into things today! Hopefully it flushes out quickly!
12/03 - 166.4 lbs - Coming back down, but so tired of the yo-yoing. I really want to see true progress by the end of this!
12/04 - 165.2 lbs - Going to a cookie swap party today, and I already told my friend I don't want to take any home with us. Here's to sticking to it!
12/05 - 164.6 lbs - Yay! I didn't really feel a desire to eat that many cookies last night, so I didn't!

12/05 - 150.6 - Sodium + rehydration, very expected, very okay. Lack of water Friday led to the temporary gain of water weight while rehydrating yesterday. Drank over 100oz through the day. Also had chips and salsa. Those salty chips tasted wonderful letting me know just how much I needed to rehydrate. Oof. Of course, those same salty chips are causing me to hold on to some of the water. It'll go down in a day or two so long as I can get back on track. Friends from out of town leaving this morning so back to normal routine. Fasting as long as I can today (I made a conscious decision for a break while they were here). That's the only NF habit I didn't complete yesterday. Did manage to sneak in my side planks. Today I have a 5 minute run plus NF bodyweight round. Not sure when I'll get that run in, but even if I have to run in place, I'm doing it! Once I post I'll do a round of bodyweight. Maybe by doing one in the morning, one in the evening I can work up to 2 rounds now. Just is starting to feel easy but it does leave me sore the next day still. Don't want to overdo it!

Previous Day's Comments11/28 - Progress is progress, no matter how slow. I'll take it. Especially since Fam wanted to go out last night, we didn't make it home until almost 1am, and I'm running on about 5 hours of sleep. I'm also quite sore, particularly in my legs, since I did a small bodyweight workout yesterday. Knee is still tender, but doing better and I'm trying to work around it. Water was very good yesterday but I can still tell I've got some bloat to contend with. Will keep hacking away at my habits, though. Fasted yesterday for about 16.5 hours. My goal fasting window doesn't open up until 2pm today so we shall see how long I can hold off before my body yells "no more!" It may take a few days to retrain my body to this fasting schedule so I'm not terribly worried. Again, progress is progress, no matter how slow.
11/29 - Hey, it's still progress! Think some of this weight is DOMS, some hormonal. I was beyond sore by end of day yesterday. Struggling to get in and out of the chair. Today I'm still sore, but I've already pushed through 5 minutes on the rowing machine at a slow pace (NF app "morning activity" which can be meditation, journaling, workout, yoga, stretching, any activity that will wake up the brain and begin the brain-body communication WITHOUT electronics. Right now, it's creating the habit, so they only have us doing 5 minutes until it becomes habit, then moving on to longer times. I also used their method of "temptation bundling" like I did with running: I can only listen to my podcasts when I'm on the rower, walking, or running.) I'm going to try to push through at least 1 of their body weight workout rounds (they aim for 3 rounds of it, but I only did 2 on Saturday and I was barely able to walk yesterday so taking it easy today with rowing to help supplement). Food wasn't great, but I did manage to stay within calories and started fasting really early (had more of a lunch that ended about 3pm) and 90oz water. Going to push as far as I can with fasting today so I don't have a horribly long eating window to stuff my face. Went shopping and have balanced dinners planned for the week. Will be commuting at least Wednesday, possibly Thursday so I have a balanced meal for those planned. It should give me enough for at least 3 days so I'll have to find something healthy for today's lunch to get me through. Hopefully I can see 140s again without too much issue in the next day or two.
11/30 - There we go, back into the 140s. Now to hold on to that. Yesterday was good with all my daily habits. Finished 1.5 rounds of the bodyweight circuit and I'm still sore, but less so. Also did yoga stretching yesterday beforehand to help with the soreness. Active rest today was a nice wake up yoga morning routine. I have a conference webinar taking up most of the morning so I'll try to focus on getting up for some light movement (even if its pacing) throughout. Batch cooking some chicken burrito bowls for lunch today through Thursday. Tonight will be shrimp tacos. Tomorrow I commute in to work so I may or may not be able to post, but will weigh in and do my best to pop on. Same with Thursday if I end up having to drive in (dependent on how tomorrow goes). At the very least, I'll be back Friday.
12/01 - Guessing this is due to waking up several hours earlier than normal. Not worried about it since I look and feel way less bloated than yesterday! Long couple days ahead but I've set myself up well enough. Healthy snacks (salmon packets, protein shake), a balanced lunch, and water all packed and ready to go. Plan to do bodyweight exercises (squats, pushups, lunches, planks) during breaks at work plus I'm sure I'll have plenty of walking to do.
12/02 - All habits good but water was close! I ended up finishing my water goal with dinner but then had to wake up twice to use the bathroom..oops. Weight is alright, expected. The commute is hard, especially since it hasn't been that frequent - dinner is within 45 minutes of my lights out and the early wakeup doesn't help the scale. Body isn't used to having to function that way yet. Had a touch of heartburn from eating so close to dinner, but luckily it passed quickly. Hopefully with time and routine, my body will adjust to that as well. Feeling sleepy but coffee is brewing and the smell alone helps a bit (coffee is more like a placebo than actually doing anything for me. I don't drink more than my small travel mug which is about 1 1/2 to 2 cups if I drink any at all then switch to water for the day). Below I attached a picture of a goal I'm working on with QSciences (feel free to join if you'd like). Also keeping up with my NF Journey habits. I did my NF bodyweight at work yesterday (1 round and I'm still sore from it) and my plank. Thankfully tomorrow I don't have to work because today's QFit challenge is tripling the squats I do with NF bodyweight! I plan on spacing them through the day, though.
12/03 - Sodium blimp from dinner. Fam tried a Thai sweet and sour chicken soup and had edamame as a side. Unfortunately she realized after the fact, the edamame came pre-salted. They were delicious, but they were, indeed, salty. Water good, all habits good. Did walk the plant for my NF active rest day and completed all 3 sets of 10 pushups for QFit (I'm keeping it in a spoiler below in case anyone follows along with me or is curious). Up early to go out to the land and get out in nature while everyone else works. It's a very stressful time, a huge "go live" is happening starting January 1st and 3 people have quit this week. They're already extremely understaffed. Poor BF is doing the jobs of 4 or 5 people already (including the work of positions both higher and lower than his own but he can't promote until he's held his position at least a year, which will be June 1st).
12/04 - Friends came to town for the weekend last night. NSV: I balanced lunch to account for a heavier, later dinner with them once they arrived. Yay! Downfall? I didn't realize we were going to see the lights at the Platz (German town here) and let the kiddos try ice skating (first time, it was great) after the Christmas Parade so I didn't bring my water cup. I'm feeling it with a slight dehydration headache and the blip on the scale. Today: viewing a house (house-hunting) and then chilling and hanging out around town with our friends. They brought their daughter and she hasn't been here before so it'll be fun! All other habits good. Active rest day today which I should get plenty of walking in throughout the day for that. Have planks to complete for QFit.

QFit Workout Countdown to Christmas
10 -
Forgot to update house hunting!
The house we looked at popped up on the market Wednesday afternoon. I got the notification immediately, sent to BF, we both said it could fit what we're looking for and contacted our agent to set up a viewing of it. I contacted her within an hour of it being posted. It hadn't even shown up on her search yet!
Welp, we really loved it. Wanted to talk about A) houses go fast around here, especially houses like that
we are under contract with our rental until end of May (be out before June 1st) so we will have to pay mortgage on a house we buy as well as rent through May...are we ready to buy this early?
Our decision was made for us. Our agent was finding out information about the house so we know what we could offer without offending the seller and be able to negotiate price. Well, by the time she called at 4pm, there was already one offer in and another offer they knew was coming, but official paperwork still en route. Meaning we'd have to offer well above asking to even think about having a chance to beat out the other two. So we called it off.
It works out, I guess. Veterans United closes within about 30 days once offer accepted so it's a pretty quick turnaround. That means we are good on that end. The problem will be finding a house that suits our needs within our price range. Everything out there right now is all new construction and in an HOA (which we couldn't live in due to our vehicles. I'd have to get rid of my Jeep or my commuter car (2 vehicles only). We'd have to get rid of the Harleys and his vintage Volkswagen Beetle (too loud/too old and not restored yet so it doesn't look good right now). We are not willing to do any of that for a house)

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28: 209.7
11/29: 208.6 - Wow I had a lot of catching up to do I couldn't believe the last round ended 2 days ago. Thanksgiving weekend flew by! I feel like I ate pretty well and when I didn't I made sure I adjusted the rest of my day to that to stay under calories. Just have to buckle down for the end of the year. I WILL be under 200 by Christmas.
11/30: 208.1 - Last day of the month long Apple Watch challenge to work out every day, I did it. At this point I might as well go the rest of the year but maybe do something different tomorrow. I love the bike but my hamstring (previously torn) is not doing well. Rather give myself a day of rest than re-tear it and be forced into months of rest.
12/1: 207.0 - A decent surprise after waking up with a bit of a stomach issue. Set a new 20 minute PR on the Peloton which again was a surprise. Took a progress picture this morning, don't see much difference in last 10 lbs but see major difference in last 20 lbs.
12/2: 208.3 - Okay so yesterday was the outlier. Got it. Probably didn't help that we had Chinese for lunch yesterday and then I had pasta for dinner. Trend still down, workouts still happening so not worried!
12/3: 208.1 - Last round was a big drop so this round is flattening out, it makes sense. Either way, my cardio is improving which is great. I PR'd again for a 20 minute Peloton ride. 2x in 3 days so I'm definitely getting better there. I'm feeling not as confident about the 200 by Christmas but we will see!
12/4: 205.5 - A later weigh in than during the week and much harder workouts on the weekend (more sweat) explains this big drop. I almost don’t count it because it makes Monday seem not as successful but I have to record something! Hit a new 45 minute PR on Peloton which now sets all my PRs at 10+ output per minute which has been my goal for 2 months. So happy!
12/5: 205.0 - Went to a party yesterday and was called skinny. It feels weird because while I’m skinnier, I’m in no way “skinny” yet. It’s a nice compliment but I can’t let that make me think I’m done still a ways to go…

Yesterday was still a challenge — still too many yummy leftovers — but they’re gone now. Back to the plan!
11/29 - 181, Ave 180.7
Boing boing. But it’s ok, just normal post-pig out bouncing. I’ve got half my office painted but have to paint in short spurts because of other things. I’ll be glad when it’s finished, and happily I love the dark green coziness of the color! Off now for a walk with Rory. He turned 5 months yesterday and is in full adolescent goofiness. Here’s a pic I took yesterday.
11/30 - 180.6, Ave 180.7
A little better. Now to keep going this direction!
12/01 - 180.8, Ave 180.8
It’s all on me—I had some chocolate fudge truffle ice cream last night, and dinner was a bit salty. I did spent 90 minutes walking/running/standing/moving equipment at doggy school, though, so I did get some exercise. Today I’m determined to get some more of my office painted—nothing scheduled except a puppy play date with a friend’s Golden, and she’s coming here. Otherwise, paint is me!
12/02 - 180.4, Ave 180.7
Slowly, slowly. Not unexpected since my calories average is still above maintenance, but I behaved myself yesterday and everything will level back out. All good!
12/03 - 180.4, Ave 180.7
Okie dokie.
12/04 - 181.8, Ave 181.2
Aaack! But this is time lag and salt, so I can live with it. I’m finally at the end of my office painting project—it has dragged on because of life. Just need to put to second coat on 2 walls and do a little touching up and then I can reassemble the room and get back to writing. Yay! I’ll post a couple of pics when I get it all put back in order. I hope your weekend is as fun as mine!
12/05 - 181.2, Ave 181.3
Ok, two days to get back to or below last round’s end weight. I can do it! Have a lovely Sunday, everyone.

I skipped a few rounds and of course some of the weight came back. Goal weight is around 170 and then go from there. Starting weight is 212 (was 200.8). My scale actually broke yesterday so I’ve got a new one coming tomorrow. On better meds, more Prozac and now Adderall so hopefully no more anxiety episodes. Need to lose weight so I can keep taking Adderall ha. Also, 35F relatively sedentary.
12/4: 212 lbs at last weigh-in at Dr on 12/1
12/5: DNW. Scale hasn’t arrived yet. Monitoring my blood pressure at home due to Adderall. Praying things work out because it’s so amazing to feel CALM but if the side effects (I.e increase in BP) are too severe I have to go on a non-stimulant which may not produce the same effects. I know I’ve lost weight based on my clothes. A bit worried because the Adderall makes it easier to ignore hunger and seems to have shrunk my stomach a little so I’m not currently eating a sustainable diet (using premier protein shakes for breakfast and lunch). Can’t afford to have the Adderall yanked by my doctor if I lose too much weight too quickly so I’m trying to add some calories in a way I could probably, hopefully, sustain without the Adderall. Also, can’t take the drug every day and don’t want to binge eat on non medicated days. Not looking forward to that conversation at my recheck - I’m very honest with my doc cause these drugs freak me out a little. So I had two dipped macaroons this am with my protein shake before my meds kicked in and I have a small portion of sweet potato fries on deck to have with dinner tonight. Now to work on spreadsheets all day. Yay for busy season (public accounting)! Please send fudge.7 -

Round 170 (my 6th)
November 28 - December 7, 2021
Female, 5’7”
HW: 181 pounds (Dec 30, 2019)
RSW: 154.3 pounds (Date, EO Round 169)
RGW: 152.3 pounds (- 2.0 pounds)
Day/Weight/Comment
11/28: 154.3 - I think I missed a day somewhere on the last round, but I can’t figure out where. Anyways, today’s scale reading is not surprising but disappointed in myself for portion control over the holiday weekend and the lack of higher intensity cardio workouts.
11/29: 152.8 - Back to where I was before Thanksgiving
11/30: 152.8 - Good workout and good eating yesterday, Still finishing up high calorie leftovers from our Friendsgiving, but made it work within plan.
12/01: 152.3 - Met round goal but I had a blip up right before the start of the round. Hoping to keep pushing downward before travel and other events.
12/02: 151.0 - Magical whoosh? Did my usual exercise and ate within calories.
12/03: 149.5 - Whoa! I had a lot of tension yesterday and not much appetite until dinner. Got my workout in. I suspect this won’t hold as life returns to normal today.
12/04: 150.8 - Was hungry yesterday, but ate to plan. Got my workout in, albeit a little later in the day. Haven’t slept all that well the past couple of nights.
12/05: 150.8 - Getting ready for the holidays with making toffee. Luckily nothing to sample since it wasn’t set. I did taste a walnut and an almond to make sure they were still good. I wasn’t going to log it, but then changed my mind. I don’t know if it is the database or not, but each nut is showing up as 1 gram of fat. Each. Nut. Yikes. I look back to how many times I just grabbed a handful and would eat them as snacks.

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days
11/28 121ish I think it was. I’m not sure if weight creep is happening or if it’s just water retention from the strength training/running at a higher level/where I’m at in my cycle/Thanksgiving splurges. This week I’m going to focus on my protein intake and reducing my sodium intake. All of the Thanksgiving leftovers are just about out of the fridge which is a good thing/I’m sick of the thought of even eating any. I indulged a little too much over the past few days with pumpkin and apple pie but that is now out of the way and I’m looking forward to having a good week.
Started the day with some toast and dandelion tea to help flush out some bloat and also upped the water. I made some cranberry sauce oat bars but have already shared half with my in-laws, had one for lunch with plain yogurt, and then froze the other 4 servings to have in the future. I find if baked goods are in the freezer, I am more likely to eat them more sporadically versus having them out. So, if I have a day where I can splurge on 400 calories (like my long run days), I will happily enjoy it. The good thing about the bars is that they are filled with healthy fats from the hazelnut meal and butter and a touch of fiber as well, so they are quite satisfying.
11/29 ? Not completely sure of my weight this morning. Ran 6 miles this morning and did my strength workout on my lunch. Food was good all day. Breakfast was toast and eggs, lunch was a protein shake plus an apple and peanut butter yogurt dip, dinner was pork tenderloin with roasted Brussel sprouts, fennel bulb and leftover fiber gourmet pasta with a touch of butter and Trader Joe’s cheesy seasoning blend. I decided that at least during the week I am going to cut a little bit of calories to slowly work my way back down to 114 over the next few months. I like that weight and know I’ll be able to get back to that point again or at least that size even if I weigh a little more because muscle takes up less space than fat… If I’m doing all this work to strength train, I would like to be able to see the definition at a leaner size. I should be able to go back to cutting 200 calories a day relatively easy on the days I strength train because I burn over 700 activity calories. Then on just my running days, I’ll cut 100-150 calories. Even with the cutting I will make sure I prioritize protein and make sure I get at least 100-120g per day.
Also will start tracking grams of protein here daily: 142g today.
11/30 121.something Feel good today. Accidentally ran longer than expected this morning clocking in at 6.8 miles because I miscalculated how far away from home I was during my run. Tomorrow will be a 5 mile run most likely. Food has been good today and I will be at 160 g of protein after I finish my chili for dinner tonight.
12/1 122.2 pre workout. Hoping this uptick drops soon. In general I feel good though and don’t feel like my body has gotten larger. I tried on a pair of my jeans and they still fit well, so that was a good thing and made me realize that I haven’t gained in the wrong places. I got a 5.6 mile run done this morning and a strength workout on lunch.
12/2 Got a solid 6 mile run in this morning with a few faster miles in at the end. Food was good yesterday but dinner ended up being salty even though I was within calories plus a 200 cal deficit, so it blew my weight up this morning. Protein clocked in at 119 grams and today will be 118.
12/3 121.8 Did not post.
12/4 121.4 I think it was. Happy to see some sort of drop. I got a slow run in yesterday but ended up doing too much and am now resting my knee for at least 4 days… I don’t think I kept up with stretching as much as I should have after my runs and I paid the price. On the bright side I was still able to do a nice 60 minute spin bike ride this morning without irritating my knee. Then I stretched for like 20 minutes afterwards. Food was good yesterday even though we got Thai for dinner last night. I chose a ginger chicken dish that was chicken, veggies and a ginger sauce with brown rice on the side. It was pretty satisfying and didn’t kill me with the sodium either because I only had a minimum amount of the sauce. Today my husband was craving chicken parm and I wanted pesto chicken with pasta. I ended up making my own pesto chicken and got takeout for him and was able to resist the take out which I see as a win. The kale cashew pesto from Trader Joes is so good and easy to toss with some Fiber Gourmet pasta and roasted chicken breast and topped with some freshly grated parmesan cheese. It was still a high cal meal but I was able to control the amounts and I still have 550 calories leftover for dinner tonight. I think we’re getting our Christmas tree today or tomorrow, so that’ll be fun!
12/5 121.6 Food was good yesterday and should be today too. My husband and I went for a nice walk this morning and my knee is feeling a bit better, so that’s a relief. Hoping to try running again on Wednesday. Smoothie and an oatmeal waffle for breakfast (both recipes from my current favorite cookbook Rise and Run). I made a batch of the waffles yesterday morning and froze the extras. They toast up so nicely. I’ll also be making some ginger molasses cookies for a cookie swap at work tomorrow. I plan on not eating a ton of cookies and won’t feel bad about tossing any cookies from the swap. I do plan to freeze some of the cookies I make because they are made with black strap molasses, whole grains, and have a good amount of potassium in each cookie. When I did the math they are only 100 calories each and would be a decent snack when I want something a little sweet but satisfying.
Also, we got our tree last night and will decorate it tonight, so it's finally starting to feel like the Christmas season.
Got in 158 g protein yesterday and hopefully at least 100 grams of protein today but it might be a little short. I did check my 7 day average and it’s about 120 a day, so I’m right on target with where I want to be.

Hi all, 😁 this will be my third round.
I have lost 10 pounds so far from highest from previous rounds.
30 year old, Female, 5"3, UK
SW: 172.6
GW this round: 169
UGW: 130
Day/Weight/Comment
11/28/ 172.6/ dropped quite a bit from yesterday, recalculated my SW from 174.2, had lots of tea this morning, green, spiced and camomile, two wee mini burgers for lunch total cals 160. Feeling positive I can reach goal, once this round is over, if I stay on track, I'll have lost a full stone. A quarter of the way to my UGW.
11/29/ 171.8/ so close to my first benchmark, will try hard this week, plan to go swimming 😀
11/30/ 170.5/ didn't expect the drop, this is good, lots of herbal teas and moderate exersise, played pool for an hour last night. Had pie for dinner. Good news, getting there.
12/1/ 170.4/ kept within my calories for day yesterday, although I had a takeaway, its important for me to exersise more so going to horse riding tomorrow. Had a hot bath last night which is good for weight loss. Missed breakfast today as it was my day off and I slept in, so hoping the sleep burnt some extra cals through the night..I usually try for a 12 hour sleep on days I can, I sleep like a log. My pedometer arrived, so my steps where very low yesterday, it reset so I lost some data, but hoping to see what walking to shop counts as. Plan to just have a hotdog for dinner, should be enough, and tasty. Hope everyone else is keeping well, and reaching their goals 😊 gotta keep that mojo!
12/2/ 170.6/ went to country park for walk in morning, and also horse riding this afternoon, plenty of exercise is what I needed. Havnt ate much but my monthly is due so I'll prob make up for it next few days, I'll try my best 😊 also it's the weekend coming up, so will try not to snack. Had veges for dinner there, and will just drink herbal tea tonight.
12/3/ 170.6/ 😮 oh exactly same weight as yesterday, was stuck in car today for hours, few stop offs to get food, and when I came home had a blow out on crisps and three budweiser to relax since its been a while and it's the weekend. Will see in next few days if I can reach my target. Have four days to lose one and half pounds. Bad habits need to stop, my target was 1200cals, about 1700 atm and about go go to bed. So will try better tomorrow.
12/4/ 171.4/ didn't get exersise today as I was stuck in house, max 5200 steps, ate small portions tho.
12/5/ 170.2/ my pedometer reset but did over 6000 steps so far, it's 4.30pm, walked around shops, bought steamed veggies and fruit and lots of yoghurt. One pound to go until target, think I've done well today, busy day tomorrow, should get to target by 7th. 🙂 on monthly so when it finishes should drop enough I hope.

@schmoyew my next door neighbor started telling me I was getting “too skinny” when I was about 30# higher than I am now.(At 5’1” almost 150#, I was not skinny) I really wonder if she was trying to make herself feel better. I’m still not skinny but I am smaller and quite happy at the place I’m in. You’ve got this!4

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

11/28 211.2 (-.4) Still coming down from Thanksgiving. Today I’m hiking with both of my sisters.
11/29 210.4 (-1.2) Wow! This is my first holiday season logging here and really staying focused. I enjoyed Thanksgiving and ate all my favorite foods then did my best to get back on track the day after. I’m only .6 over my low weight. It’s really helped to read the forums to stay encouraged. No organized exercise today.
11/30 209.0 (-2.6) Dropped my Thanksgiving bump and down .8 from my former low weight. I’m still a bit in shock that I can enjoy eating my favorite holiday foods including egg nog and pumpkin pie with lots of whip cream and drop the extra weight in less than a week if I get back on track the following day. Just one more real life example helping me build confidence that I can do this and not only reach goal weight, but maintain it once I get there.
12/1 209.4 (-2.2) Swimming was good yesterday. I still have company in town, but working to stay on plan. Today is no organized exercise. I need to drink more water today.
12/2 208.6 (-3.0) My family leaves tomorrow to head home. I’ve loved having them here. Still, it will be nice to get back to my routine. I’m finishing a big commission for a collector for Christmas and that will be done in about a week. I’m looking forward to just relaxing and making plans for the new year. My goals every year include losing weight and exercising more. I’m happy I finally made progress this year. The health goal will be to finally get to goal weight and maintain. A new challenge for a new year.
12/3 207.2 (-4.4) I’m surprised by the loss this round so far. I did gain right before the round started, with Thanksgiving, so that explains some of it. Still, I can’t believe I am less than 8 pounds away from weighing under 200 pounds! I honestly never thought it would happen. I have been getting more water the last few days.
12/4 206.4 (-5.2) Woohoo! No explanation for the big loss so far. I guess this makes up for the rounds when things move way slower than expected. I’ll have my indulgence meal today which will bump things up a little.
12/5 208.8 (-2.8) I had my indulgence meal yesterday. It was really good. Today I hiked and will be cooking my breakfasts for the week. Looking forward to getting back in my routine.
