7: 204.4 Holding steady. I'm good with this. Pre-TOM weight gains haven't started, or they at least aren't showing up on the scale.
8: 203.8 Pleasantly surprised. Carbs, calories, water were all great yesterday. Just anticipating those little gains that used to be so normal for this time of the month.
9: 204.5 Calories and macros were good yesterday. Cramps today, so fairly certain this is pre-TOM weight. Will be gone in a couple days.
10: 204.6 Hormones. No worries. It'll be back down soon.
11: 204.5 Had a hard time falling asleep last night. Took kids to school and took a 3-hour nap when I got home. Weighed again after because I was curious...202.7. Makes me think the drop after TOM actually starts might be a significant one.
12: 203.5
13: 201.9 At this point, I have no idea what's going on. Lol
Still no TOM, yet weight is dropping as if it had started. 🤷🏽

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.

@coblujay Congratulations! You’re an inspiration!

@schmoyew You are almost there! We both have been bouncing around. I'm up over 200 this morning, which isn't totally unexpected with the ups and downs. But my trend is still downward. And @PrimalJillian is almost there too! I'll be happy dancing for both of you in the next week. I think I'm still in a bit of denial, but that's going to change as I see the 190's on the scale more and more and as I fit into my smaller size clothing.

1/7- 200.4 (-.6) Ohhh! I thought today might be the day. I did swim yesterday, but it was after lunch and I felt so sluggish. I usually swim after a light breakfast. Still, despite the frigid weather, I did it and was really proud of myself. Fridays are usually the day I have my indulgence meal for the week. Lunch with a friend was cancelled so I may not. I haven’t decided yet. Just so close…
1/8- 200.2 (-.8) Argh! I stayed focused yesterday but was still disappointed. I will have my indulgence meal today, so this will bump up again before the next downward slide. Trusting the process.
1/9- 201.8 (+.8) I had my indulgence meal and enjoyed every bit of it. I’m back on track today and hope to be under 200# later this week.
1/10- 201.2 (+.2) Dropping back down after my indulgence meal. No organized exercise today. I did go to Orange Theory yesterday. Still thrilled with how strong I’m getting after swimming and hiking so much.
1/11- 201.2 (+.2) Expecting a whoosh soon. I’ll be swimming today and getting back into my art studio.
1/12- 199.6 (-1.4) Woohoo! Happy dancing and burning extra calories here in Colorado. No organized exercise today…painting with friends. I’ve really focused on getting my water in the last few days and I think that made a big difference.
1/13- 200.2 (-.8) I know it’s going to bounce back a forth a bit before settling below 200#. I am a little disappointed, but on a downward trend. Today is swimming and painting.

Thank you, everyone. I know I missed a few of you. While I don't comment on everything, I do read all of your posts every day and they keep me encouraged and inspired. @CamandJarvis @seeless25 @Nicoles0305

********LOOK AND SEE HOW THE UPS & DOWNS OF MY JOURNEY JUST HELPS ME BE A STRONGER & MORE DETERMINED ME********

COLOR CODE: Fuchsia is a Happy Weight Loss for me. Blue is a sad weight gain.Black is no change.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/06 …..194.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/07 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 191.9) Diet was about the same but I did get in some more housework type movement. Flooring is very close to being done. Today should be the final day. I worked on packing away Christmas items in some limited areas during the work. That calorie burn clearly made the difference today on the scale.

01/08 …..191.2 ….. Trend weight 191.9) Continued progress which I am grateful for. Again, I did not make any major dietary changes (I’ve been keeping it pretty good under the circumstances), but more movement as I continued to work on Christmas décor and replacing it back with my usual stuff. Floor is 95% done with only some minor work such as moulding replacement etc. to be done. Today my handyman will finish and then begin helping with the Christmas work. Two trees should come down today. I woke up STARVING. I am going to try to stick to some high protein choices and some healthy fat to fill up my belly.
01/09 …..192.2 ….. (Trend weight 191.9) Very nice well-planned meals yesterday. Binge on snacks last night. The uptick is my own fault. I’ll do better today.


01/10 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 192.1)A ton of company unexpected last night. Pizza for dinner. Huge leap on the scale. Pushing water today.

01/11 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 192.2) Strange. I ate the exact same food as the day before. Same breakfast, same lack of lunch and the same amount of pizza (leftovers) and this time I lost instead of gained. No difference in TMI and no difference in exercise. Hmph. I hope the leftovers don’t catch up to me and wreak havoc again! Dining room getting painted. He’s been working on it a couple of days. It’s looking good and may be completed by today. It’s another temporary project to update things until the full kitchen / diningroom reno.

01/12 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 192.2) No change but it was a very reasonable day.

01/13 …..192.8 ….. (Trend weight 192.3) Normal fluctuation on the scale today. A day of travel today for building supplies. Dinner will be out.

01/14 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

01/15 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

01/16 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.


1/7- 193.6 47 net carbs, Pelo ride done, and step goal achieved yesterday. Getting closer to my pre Christmas low!

1/8- 193.4 63 net carbs and almost made the step goal. It was a day spent in the kitchen decorating a cake, so a small loss is great considering.

1/9- 192.2 Only a pound away from my pre Christmas low! 63net carbs yesterday.

1/10-190.2 Well I’m not sure how that happened, but WOOHOO! I even had a beer with dinner last night, which I wasn’t sure how it would affect things. 72 net carbs and a Pelo ride in. Let’s make today great too!!

1/11- 189.8 NEW DECADE!! Even with pizza night and it’s extra carbs last night, I still dropped. I wound up resetting my calorie goal last weekend because the previous 1260/day was starting to take a mental toll. Now with an additional 200 calories a day, it’s much easier. Finished yesterday with 92 net carbs, step goal hit, and strength training done.

1/12- 189.8 I was hoping for a drop, but considering the big drops of late, I’m okay with staying the same. 88 net carbs yesterday and Pelo ride done. Planning to make today a lower carb day, as pizza and sushi the past two days have put me higher than usual. I suspect that might be influencing the scale just a bit.

1/13- 189.8 Stayed the same for the third day in a row. I’m going to guess my body is playing catch up from the big drops over the weekend, since yesterday was only 53 net carbs. Did my strength training too, but fell short on steps as I started to feel really nauseous while I was trying to get them in.

@coblujay - I finally found your actual post! lol CONGRATS ON MAKING ITTO ONEDERLAND!! Unlike you I do not have a chance to read all of the posts but I do read as much as I can for sure because it helps keep me motivated and inspired. You have did a great job and your attitude is awesome as you know the scale will go up and down until you are solidly in the 190's

Going for 2 pounds this round. It's been below freezing, snowy and dark and it's harder to get out for long walks, but I'm staying in the lower end of my calories range, so doable.
01/08: 193.4 lbs (+0.4)
I'm totally OK with a slight bump up. Yesterday was a semi-rest day. Back at it today!
01/09: 194.4 lbs (+1.0)
Ugh. Bad choices yesterday and severely lacked water. Not happy about posting this but I need to be accountable.
01/10: 194.8 lbs (+0.4)
Out of control. Gotta stop the free fall. Bad weekend, too much junk and not enough exercise.
01/11: 194.6 lbs (-0.2)
Well, right direction at least! Not throwing in the towel just yet.
01/12: 193.2 lbs (-1.4)
Phew! Almost back down to before weekend weight. Gotta be more careful on days out if I want to reach my goal.

01/13: 192.4 lbs (-0.8)
Wow, last weekends eating out must have had WAY more sodium than I thought. Down 2.8 pounds in 3 days HAS to be water retention. Good workouts and plenty of water this week helped a ton.
