Round 174 #2 (SW 249, FW 246.5*)
Round 175
1/17 246.5 I was extra surprised by the number on the scale this morning. Hopefully my Saturday of sinful calories won’t catch up with me tomorrow. 😂 Back in school with masks today, and 8 of the 15 rooms in my building are on modified quarantine status, I’m just waiting for my turn. I’m grateful parents and students didn’t put up a fight about wearing masks.
1/18 248.5 There’s my weekend weight! Staying on track with calories today should help me get back down.
1/19 247 There it is again, 247, my body seems to want to hold on this this one. 🙃 I hit my protein and fiber goals while staying under calories today, so maybe tomorrow is the day I kiss it good buy forever!
1/20 245.5 A new low! I planned my calories today because I’m only human and its half-priced Sonic Corn Dogs Day. I stayed under calories, but I was also under on protein and fiber.
1/21 245.5 holding steady, but went over on calories a bit. I was so hungry all day even with 150 grams of protein, so I indulged in some pudding for desserts and I’ll take the extra calories.

@SheilaBoneham You can’t beat a good bowl of chili! I also like to use the Christmas ham bone and leftovers to make ham and bean soup!5 -
To all the super soup people… most of the soups I make when I have a hambone or a bone from an entire turkey breast. I just add vegetables that I have. Every day I spend time chopping vegetables in the morning and sometimes I have snippets that I don’t want to use, like exterior leaves from Brussel sprouts. If I roast the loose leaves with the halved Brussels sprouts, they burn. I’m just too frugal to toss away any good food, so I have a plastic bag in my freezer where I dump these extra vegetables. I use these, as well as others, to make a soup. Also, a favorite soup which I haven’t made for a while, is split pea soup from the book, the joy of cooking. I truly haven’t made it for years but it was simply a bag of dried split peas, cut up carrots and onions, a hambone, and a bunch of water. I’m sure I might be missing something here, but is it truly is a simple recipe. It is soooo good. I made it when my kids were still in the house and everyone loved it, but my son did nickname it, horse vomit, due to the color. Ya gotta love teens.4

I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), complete all 6 programmed strength training sessions during my 4 days off per week

Previous Posts1/17 Had a relatively lazy day. Planned meals for this week and made a grocery list. Did a deadlift, squat, pullup workout this morning and took a walk. I made a Korean soup (doenjang chigae) for dinner and it was really tasty but pretty sodium heavy. Reload week for strength, but the programming never feels that much easier than the normal weeks hah. I bet my legs are sore tomorrow after all of the split squatting I did tonight. I’ve been feeling pretty hungry, so I’ve relaxed my calorie goal a little and am eating back more exercise calories. Protein: 146
1/18 workouts ✅✅✅ super sore today. “Reload” weeks on the programming are always like that. tomato garbanzo beans stew with seitan for dinner. Protein: 144
1/19 still super sore. Did a weighted step up, shoulder press, bent over row workout this morning. Very cold and windy otherwise, so didn’t get out and walk. Strength was programmed as an active recovery day but included a lot of pull-ups and dips. Farro with sautéed mushrooms and spinach and a gochujang sauce. Back to work tomorrow. I got a call back about the surgery job and I’ll need to think about it. I would work Monday-Friday 5:30-2 + occasional on call. Protein a bit on the low side: 113
1/20 work 1/2. Not a bad day in Covid-land. I think I’m going to need to buy new scrubs in small cause my pants are about to fall off.. especially when I’m wearing the PAPR. Kimchi stew with tofu for dinner. Yummy! Protein: 121

Goal weight: 140 lbs
Current weight: 197.5 lbs (15/01)
Total weight lost: 8 lbs (15/01)
I started the 52 lbs in 52 weeks challenge 5th January and it's been going great so far 😊 but I can already feel my resolve slipping and having got to goal weight before I had my kids I know how important these first few weeks are! So I think I need the daily accountability to keep me on track right now.
Round #1 SW 197.7 lbs
17/01 197.4 lbs
I allow myself a cheat meal at the weekend and I had a muffin yesterday so wasn't expecting a massive difference. I'm only aiming for 1 lb a week so very happy with this start!
18/01 197.0 lbs
I'm surprised at this. Yesterday was a Covid-19 isolation nightmare! We're all ill, kids obviously couldn't go to nursery and a small glass of red wine and cookie was my answer 😂 ToM also started today... maybe the stress burned the extra calories 🤔 Thankfully our PCRs came back negative this morning so feel like I can get back on track!
19/01 196.0 lbs
Yesterday was less stressful and the kids are back at nursery today but I'm still feeling pretty rough. Managed to stay under my daily calorie goal but with it being the ToM I was worried about water weight so was happily surprised to see a big daily loss. Going to work hard today to maintain it 💪but am trying to psychologically prepare myself for when the losses slow/stall so I don't give up!
20/01 196.6 lbs
I've had a slight gain but totally accept this is normal when you're weighing daily and my overall trend is a loss so not freaking out - yet 😄 I stayed within my calories so will trust the process!
20/01 196.6 lbs
I've stuck to my calorie goal so hoping for a drop soon 🤞 although I'm still on track for my weekly loss so maybe I need to reframe and be happy with a maintain 🤔
20/01 196.6 lbs
Are my scales broken??? I've stuck to my calories 🤷🏼♀️7 -

Round 175 (107th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine. Here we go again, I prove time and time again, round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow! Would like to lose a pound this round.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!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

1/17 136.2 – 11.8 miles walked yesterday, calories & all macros in credit.
1/18 137.2 – 11.03 miles walked, calories under, but on reflection not the best choices as carbs & fat 19 & 15g over respectively.
1/19 138.6 – ugghhr !! bad choices yesterday, big binge . 9.92 miles walked yesterday.
1/20 138.2 -13.25 miles walked yesterday & an hours yoga. Good food choices, calories & all macros well under. Should try to remember it takes twice as long to undo a binge than to do it !
1/21 137.8 – good choices yesterday, 288 calories & 108 carbs over due to no structured walking; travelled up to spend day with DD & little DGSs – we played !! It was wonderful!
1/22 139.6 – oh my giddy aunt!!! Should have expected this really, Indian meal out with friends last night; high sodium/fat/carbs which are difficult to calculate calories etc. & also ate after 9 pm. 8.25 miles walked yesterday including to and from the restaurant.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 - 148 - This has to be due to some extra salt this weekend. In the meantime, I should get some exercise in today while helping my husband shovel the 13 to 14 inches of snow that fell on our driveway last night. I feel fortunate that I can call out of work today, in my younger years I would have powered through the snow with my rear wheel drive, manual transmission Chevy Chevette.
01/18 - 148 - Back to the office today. Tax season starts this week, so that means long hours, weekend work, and company bought lunches. I'll do my best to stay on track.
01/19 - 146.5 - I expect a little bounce tomorrow, but it's good to see I'm trending in the right direction.
01/20 - 146.5 - I've been really good about tracking my food. I need to keep it up and maybe I can get down to 146.
01/21 - 147 - I'm a little disappointed about the bump up considering I've been keeping on plan. However, my weight last Friday was 149.5, so I'm still doing OK.
01/22 - 147 - We had pizza last night so I pulled out my food scale to make sure I had an accurate amount for my food diary. Brrr, it's cold outside. It was -2F right before I left for work today. I hope everyone else is keeping warm.

@CamandJarvis - I had noticed you weren't posting and worried about your Mom. I'm so sorry to hear of everything else going on. Your family is in my thoughts.
@SheilaBoneham - Our favorite soup to make is sausage corn chowder. It's the only recipe I have that uses the spice marjoram, and we make it so much I go through a bottle every Winter.2 -

YOU CAN’T WALK YOUR WAY OUT OF A BAD DIET. Last year I walked over 500 miles, but still gained weight.
Losing weight will help me -
…feel healthy again. The extra weight gets in the way and is uncomfortable.
…fit comfortably into my work clothes again.
…slide on a pair of jeans.
…hike in the spring.
…look good for my daughter’s high school graduation.

1/17- 199.0 (-1.0) A new low today. Weight loss has slowed a bit, but averaging 1.2 pounds a week (per Happy Scale) I’m glad I log my weight everyday, otherwise I’d think I was plateauing. Orange Theory Fitness was good yesterday. I’m so much stronger. It surprises me every time. I usually go once a week and then swim 2x and hike. I may add one more OTF workout in each week. That might get me losing a little more. No organized exercise today, but I have a busy day so It’s easier to stay on plan.
1/18- 199.2 (-.8) I wore a pair of 16W Levi jeans yesterday after they sat in my closet for almost ten years. I had to remove the tags finally. They were my “someday” jeans. They are a little snug in the waist so I have a little muffin top, but not so tight that I was afraid the button would pop off and injure someone. It felt so good!! Today is swimming and painting in my studio. Hoping for a downward move on the scale tomorrow. In the 190’s for two days in a row is fabulous!! Now just to get all my water in…
1/19- 198.4 (-1.6) Swimming has been my primary go to exercise and from one of my earliest swimming outings in late July where I swam 22 laps in 57 minutes, yesterday I swam 72 laps in 69 minutes. (72 laps is 1800 yards or just over a mile!) In 2022, I’m hoping to improve my speed to 72 laps in 60 minutes or less. Today I’m focused on painting with no organized exercise planned.
1/20- 198.8 (-1.2) I got a lot done yesterday. I love days when things just flow. Today, I’m back to the pool and visiting a friend at her art studio. Making progress on the painting front.
1/21- 197.4 (-2.6) Nice!! Swimming was great yesterday. I have breakfast with a friend this morning and will probably have my indulgence meal for dinner tonight. I’m expecting a bump tomorrow before it falls back off. I’m so excited that every day of this challenge so far has been under 200 pounds. I’m getting there!!
1/22- 198.4 (-1.6) Yesterday was my indulgence meal, so this isn’t unexpected. Today I’m back on track. No organized exercise, but plenty of water.

What’s your favorite soup recipe? I’ve been making soups every Sunday since New Year, and am going to try to keep it up with a new soup each week. So far, I’ve made minestrone, mulligatawny, and cabbage soups. I’m looking for this Sunday’s fare as we “speak.” Just curious about other people’s favs!
I know it's not the right season, but I love pumpkin & ginger soup, also leek & potato.
@musicsax Its always the right season for pumpkin and ginger in my book! And you just reminded me of my mum’s cockaleekie soup—it’s on my list now. Thanks!3 -

@SheilaBoneham You can’t beat a good bowl of chili! I also like to use the Christmas ham bone and leftovers to make ham and bean soup!
Yes! My husband often makes Moosewood restaurant cookbook veggie chili—we love it and usually have some in the freezer for quick dinners. I usually make cornbread muffins with it. Yum!3 -
@CamandJarvis I am so sorry to hear about your family and their health issues. Many prayers and good vibes are being directed toward you today. I am also putting a word out in the universe for answers to your house you found. Praying the owners will cooperate and help with repair costs. The house does sound perfect for you.,...... {{{hugs}}}3

Day/Weight/Comment
01/16 …..193.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/17 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 193.0) I just couldn’t get full yesterday and no TMI today. I hope tomorrow is better. Good luck everyone this round!
01/18 …..193.8 ….. Trend weight 193.0) Good meals but too much grazing during the day. Extra hungry for some reason. Today there will be more work on the living room reno project. This project will last several weeks. No room. Furniture covered and in the center. No privacy again. However, the dining room turned out nice and the living room will be an even bigger impact! Glad to be getting some of this out of the way during the cold snowy and icy months. I will need some alone time to leave the house to walk when the weather gets better.
01/19 …..193.2 ….. (Trend weight 193.1) Well, this certainly proves that results, good or bad, are not always reflected the very next morning. I had a bad eating day yesterday for sure. Yet the scale is down. Very low steps, practically no water. Very bad sleep, disrupted. Busy, busy day. Yet the scale is down by slightly over ½ pound. This must be a result of the past couple of days where my meals were more planned and within my limits. I suspect the scale will creep back up because of yesterday’s fiasco. I’ll work on a good day today.
01/20 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 193.0) Not a perfect day dietary wise, but more improvements made in choices and quantities. Very little movement as it is still restricted. Only 7000+ steps. I’m going to focus on water today. I haven’t been drinking enough. Glad to see that scale dropped, but also that my trend weight has turned around a tidbit and going down instead of up finally.
01/21 …..193.0 ….. (Trend weight 193.0) More lack of movement yesterday and not as much water as planned. However, my quantities of food were excellent. My choices were very good. Proud of my day except for that late night piece of pumpkin pie with Cool Whip. It was very rich and heavy so the piece was not large but it still did it’s damage apparently or this is a carry-over from a couple of days ago when I overate and just couldn’t get full. Either way, I need to stay consistent!
01/22 …..193.6 ….. (Trend weight 193.1) WTH? I had an excellent (but low exercise/movement) day! I was within calorie. Scale up, trend weight up slightly but fat % the same as yesterday. The only thing I can think of is that I had pasta for dinner although within calorie. Low 5000+ steps. Ugh. Not too much I can do about that yet.
01/23 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
01/24 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
01/25 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
01/26 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
