I had lost eight pounds before the holidays and I was on a nice downward trend and then those darn Christmas cookies got me. (okay, so did the parties, wine, and general overindulgence of the holidays!)
I am focusing on dropping some weight for more than just cosmetics as I injured my knee last fall and it recovered nicely. I was having zero pain until I put this weight back on and that is concerning me greatly. Therefore my current motivation is pain free in 2023!
@bakay138 What you said in this post kept coming back to me so I searched back thru to find it. I'm sorry about your knee and hope you see some improvement soon. I really appreciate you posting this. It is such a good reminder that a lot of aches and pains we feel on a daily basis are from our weight, not to mention what's happening to our bodies that have not become an issue yet. And as we age it gets worse. I'm having all sorts of pains that I've never had, and I know many are from me being overweight.
If anyone else on this forum has seen a change in your physical health from eating healthier, moving more, or from your weight loss, it would be great to hear your story. It is very motivational and may help others, including me to stick with it and know there is hope for a healthier body down the road. Thank you!!
My two examples are: When I got back down to the 150's not too long ago, I noticed I stopped being short of breath when I climbed a flight of stairs. The other is now that I'm drinking so much water, I can see a difference in my skin and fewer eczema flare ups.8 -
GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 217
Round 217
March 13 - 22, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for round 217. Would like to make it down to 135 (1 pound) for this round. DD, DGS and SIL are coming to stay with us in the Key on March 25. Last year when they came, I was between 134 and 135. Would like to return to that number, then finish my job of trimming weight after they leave.
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

SW: 136.0
Day/Weight/Comment
3/13 – 135.4 Nice surprise, but overall theory shot. Woke up late, 7.04. We meet for group walks at 7 am. Oops. I usually wake up without an alarm, like yesterday. BUT I managed to instead run to the grocery store and buy water (they were out yesterday) as they were loading the shelves. We are having a “boil water” precaution due to Florida Keys water main breaking twice in three days.
3/14 – 135.8 Expected this today. 1) I do zero exercise yesterday 2) I did a “controlled” binge last night. Pretty much the first since Feb 1. I hit about 2000 calories today. 2078 to be exact, as I tracked every bit of it. Heading out for my walk…….

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 217 (my 148th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
Goal for this round; again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keeping clear of binges, keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, lets do it again for just for 10 days as the reward is great!!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 taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

3/13 – 147.8 lbs – Okay… that is quite an uptick since yesterday. I am assuming it is carb-bloat, because for the past few days, I have been eating basically anything that seems appealing as I have been feeling very weak and still like I’m recovering from the gastroenteritis from last week. Yesterday I was so exhausted, I could barely do anything. I had planned on starting back to counting calories etc. yesterday but as I was feeling so tired and dizzy I thought I’d better just try to give my body some fuel and see if that helped. I am feeling better this morning, so far. I am off to a late start, however, which is anxiety-causing, because I don’t want to be late for work. I actually don’t even want to work (surprise, surprise) but I really need to because my boss already thinks I’m an idiot and totally useless. You know what, I am just going to do my best today. That is all I can do. Nothing is going to be perfect today, and that is okay. I actually just started a new Word doc and typed that out a few times. NOTHING IS GOING TO BE PERFECT TODAY, AND THAT IS OKAY. I guess I finally did some “affirmations”… Anyhoo, so for this round, I have lowered my goal weight to 140 lbs. At nobody’s advice. Just as a lark. I’m not really invested in reaching that particular goal weight, to be honest. I am curious. But I won’t be destroyed if I never make it. If I can hover around 145 lbs and eventually get some more skin-removal surgeries happening, that is actually still pretty frickin amazing. But let’s put it to 140 lbs and see what happens. According to MFP, to get to that weight I need to eat 1345 cals per day. So I set that as a goal above, as well. I’m going to keep my step goal to 14K, and I will try to add in my jogging spurts when I am feeling a bit more recovered from being sick and when the side-walks are cleared of ice and snow. (Friggin snow.) I want and need to attend all 8 out of the next 8 work days. It is an imperative. I have been tasked with leading a project and being sick put me at risk of failing to meet my timelines/objectives. I have upped my fluids to 10 cups a day which is HUGE for me. However, when I was at the hospital and had a CT scan they informed me that I was hugely uh… full of … uh… you know. The old system is pretty backed up, to say the least. They actually prescribed a laxative, but when I got home from the hospital a huge bout of TMI started and lasted for about 30 hours or so. But I know I rarely drink enough and I’m sure that is part of the problem (along with the iron and calcium supplements and high percentage of protein that I eat). So I lowered my protein goal for now and I will try to get some more fluids in. But 10 is a lot. And I don’t just count water, I count any fluid which I know on this site is controversial. LOL. Finally, my last goal for this round is to try to regulate my sleep cycle. I have always struggled with sleep and I really need to clean up my sleep hygiene. So I will start with baby steps and try to go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day. Alright, I need to eat something and go walk my damn dog. Have a good day people. But be kind to yourselves and remember: NOTHING IS GOING TO BE PERFECT TODAY, AND THAT IS OKAY!
3/14 – 146.4 lbs – Today was the first day that I have actually felt better since I was sick last week.
3/15 – 146.2 lbs – I didn’t write much yesterday and I didn’t even post! Oops. It was a busy day. But here I am, getting ready for the day (I had insomnia again. Damn you, PTSD). I am reviewing my goals above and I see that I have been doing great with my work attendance (and I have been killin’ it at work, too!) but I see that I have not yet stuck to my calorie goal nor reached my fluids goal. So there are my areas of focus today. I have to go into the city on the train for work today, so I likely won’t reach my steps goal as I won’t be walking my dog today. (The dog walker will do it – maybe I should give him my Fitbit! 😉) I want to try to reach my fluids goal, because it is super dry in my office and I always end up feeling so gross by the end of the day, and I wonder if it is because I am dehydrated. It’s just that carrying my laptop AND a bunch of water to work is really heavy! I’ll have to get into the habit of buying some water when I get off the train to take to the office with me. Luckily, I only have to go in one day this week. So yesterday my hubby did some progress pics for me. My starting weight was 220 lbs in January 2022 (I struggled for several months to get going and bounced up and down until I started to have some success in March 2022). So with a sides-by-side comparison I can really see my progress. It is actually quite mind blowing. I honestly didn’t realize how fat I was in my starting pic. I was size 2x or 18-20. Now I am Medium in tops and around size 8 in pants, depending on the store. Anyway, I found it pretty helpful to see the progress. I see that I (a) need to start saving for a circumferential body lift, and (b) still could stand to lose a few more pounds. So I am happy that I have recently lowered my goal weight to 140 lbs. Hubby also took all my measurements and I put them in MFP. I had never done that before. I am now not so much interested in seeing if the numbers go down with weight loss, but rather, I am interested to keep track because I intend to get back into the gym 2-3 times a week and I am curious to see if I actually increase any of those numbers, with muscle. Yesterday after work I went to the pharmacist for my monthly B12 shot and when she gave me the shot in the arm, she scolded me, “You are losing your muscle! I don’t think the needle hit muscle.” YIKES! (It is supposed to be an intramuscular injection.) So tomorrow morning I am scheduling myself back to the gym. Even if I can only do 2 days a week for now, that is better than no days per week. It would be a start, and at least a way to get back into a habit. Well, that is probably more than enough rambling for one day! I will end by saying that hubby is supportive of my plastic surgery plan, which is if I can maintain being under 150 lbs for one year that I can start planning my circumferential body lift. I have been maintaining ~150 since February 1st, with the help of this challenge, to be quite honest. So, let’s see if I can maintain for a year. I have NEVER done that before. NEVER….

Day, Weight, Comment
3/13 - 260.4 30 min activity, 2 cups tea, 30 min outside.
3/14 - 256.4 30 min activity, 2 cups tea, 30 min outside. 2 days in a row of anything, these days, feels like such an accomplishment. And yeah for that beginning water weight loss to make me feel like I'm losing a lot more right off the bat, LOL.
@shaumom Hey, you are off to a great start!! Keep it going! I like the "outside for 30 min" goal. That is a great to keep your spirits up and good for your mental health!5 -

03/14 -187.8- (Trend weight 191.3) Whoosh! Well there it is….The 7 I’ve been waiting for behind the 18. Now I feel more securely planted in the 180’s decade. A day or two more of this and I will scratch the 190’s off my chart below. I’m very happy today as I had a personal goal I made on Dec 10th to lose 10 pounds by Easter (April 9th). I needed to be at 188.4 . I crushed it!!!! So happy!!!!
@deepwoodslady CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU DID IT!!! *happy dance*4 -

@lamafrespirit Don't give up hope! Yesterday morning, after having a perfect day the day before, I came in with a gain. I was disappointed but not derailed. I went on to travel for the day, lots of sitting and restaurant lunch which wasn't perfect by any means, and came in with a nice loss today. It really does take the scale a day or two to adjust. It takes the body a day or two to adjust the fluids and hormones too. It's all part of the journey, the highlights AND the disappointments. Your whoosh is on it's way if you just keep up the good work! Congratulations on your continued commitment.
@Iamafrespirit I am totally in agreement with @deepwoodslady! You have to be soooo patient. I try (TRY!) to remind myself that the number on the scale is just "data". I use it to monitor LONG TERM TRENDS, not daily fluctuations. If you get to attached to the daily fluctuations you will lose your mind. Like for example, water retention can mess with your mind, big time. Please don't get discouraged. Hang in there.

Hi everyone! My names Brad, 27yo, 6ft3', from the UK - I'm back (new mfp account) after almost 4 years!! I went from 145kg down to 90kg last time I was here, but now after LIFE, grief etc etc I'm back up to 120kg (BOO) and 1 year away from my wedding. I'm hoping you can all help me keep on track!
Round 217
3/13 - 120.2kg / 264.5lbs / 18st 13lbs - No weigh day (started 3/14)
3/14 - 120.2kg / 264.5lbs / 18st 13lbs - This was inevitable, I'm back into most of my fat clothes (I now own everything from a small to an XXL), my routine is awful and blah blah blah. Today is the start, lessss go!
3/15 118.6kg / 261.5lbs / 18st 10lbs - first week is always my favourite, day 1 of calorie deficit complete and couldn't be happier. Time to keep up this consistency!!

3/14: 157.9kg (348.1lbs)
This is my first day joining the challenge! My goal at the moment is to eat regular meals and not binge eat. I've joined Jane Plan, and am adding in a lot of extra calories as with my current weight the calories would be far too low, but they're all the suggested added fruit/veggies/dairy, plus some Huel. Averaging 1600-1700cals a day, and having the regular meals planned out for me is working wonders to avoid binge eating!
3/15 157.0kg (346.1lbs)
I am obese and in the first couple of weeks of a big lifestyle change, so I'm seeing big losses on a day-to-day basis. I'd really like to celebrate this but I have such a damaged relationship with food and weightloss that I'm contantly monitoring myself and telling myself to prepare mentally for the losses to slow down! I'm aiming for 1kg loss a week, but it's taking 2-3 days to lose that at the moment. I'm proud of the consistency I've had with eating my regular meals and snacks and not binging!

3/15 - 159.0 - All good. I managed to avoid a stress eating incident by allowing myself one peanut butter dark chocolate granola bar and I'm very proud of that. I'll wear this slight uptick like a badge of honor for what it really means. I was already over calories based on pre-logging lunch and dinner. I had hoped an after dinner walk and movement through day would help. Unfortunately, work popped off and I found out I had about 5-6 days worth of work to somehow finish by end of day. Working overtime about 2.5 hours, it's all on my mentor's desk (mountain time so an hour behind me) for review. Should give me plenty of time this morning to take a short hiatus for my run once the sun shows it's beautiful face. I did end up with a very short after dinner walk with pups. The cows were on the road near my turnaround point and I was unsure how cows would react to the dogs. Something's better than nothing! Assuming MFP and Fitbit estimate calories burned high, I was MFP= 300 over and Fitbit = 200 over so either slight deficit or around maintenance. MFP makes me assume, for the sake of notes to reflect on, maintenance calories for the day. Today may be another stressful work day so I'm about to try to get all that stress from yesterday knocked out with bodyweight and then with running before replenishing it hahaha. Better than doubling up on it! Hoping another evening walk with the pups. Storms forecast tomorrow so I'll really try for their sakes to get them out. They love it and I'm a sucker for those puppy dog eyes (especially since there's a true "puppy" doing them. He's gooooood at getting me to melt). Off I go for this workout!

Previous Day's Comments3/13 - Just like last round, I end up with a woosh on the first day and it gets me right to my goal. Hopefully this round I'll be able to maintain it and not having any big bloating days. Need to figure out how to get both bodyweight and run in. I'm about to do bodyweight but with this daylight savings time, sunrise isn't until after 7am when I have to be on the computer. I'm thinking, since almost nobody is on until after 8am, I'll hop on work for a bit, go run when it gets lighter out, and then resume work after. BF running, too, and he may run in the dark and if that's the case, I'll do that, too. I feel better with another person out there with me in the dark (wildlife, not monsters haha!!!)
3/14 - No sudden movements or you may scare the scale back up... I figured I'd see an uptick today after a heavy dinner. I do have leftovers for lunch so tomorrow may still show an uptick, especially with chicken enchiladas for dinner tonight. Once I post, I'm doing my rowing machine sprints as cross training. I'm procrastinating due to a morning tension headache. I need a new pillow better for back sleepers (which I seem to have become in the last two weeks or so...) Anyway, much warmer inside and the pups don't feel as left out. Like last night, I'll likely take them for a walk.

3/13 DNW TRAVELING. I have been attacked my the dreaded "in a/c out a/c" cold. Couldn't lay head down for sleep. Can't breathe. Sinuses exploding. Today is last ball game so I am masking up and going to make the best of it. The Blue Jays have won all three games. Let's hope for all four! Its a 2.6 mile walk to the park mostly on a trail and the rain is holding off. Therefore its another walk day. Lots of water and leftover penne chicken piccata dinner.
3/14 DNW TRAVELING. Yesterday was another win! Didn't stay the whole game. Blue Jays 16 Boston 3. Walked 5.2 miles there and back. Leaving today for 1 night at home before its March Madness games. I am tagging out though and husband is joining my son. Got my steps and got over 1000 calories eaten. A good day! Tomorrow morning I get to weigh in and see what my body liked/disliked this week.

3/15 217.8 Doing well on exercise but failing on calorie intake. Today I will do better. Off to grab protien shakes then home to shake up my eating schedule. I am aiming for many small meals throughout the day. Today I get 3x rebounder yay! Leaving again tonight for adventures with my son and won't be weighing till Monday. PS- my son has now limited me to 1 snuggle session per day lol.

3/13: 158.3kg (349lbs)
3/14: 157.9kg (348.1lbs)
This is my first day joining the challenge! My goal at the moment is to eat regular meals and not binge eat. I've joined Jane Plan, and am adding in a lot of extra calories as with my current weight the calories would be far too low, but they're all the suggested added fruit/veggies/dairy, plus some Huel. Averaging 1600-1700cals a day, and having the regular meals planned out for me is working wonders to avoid binge eating!
3/15 157.0kg (346.1lbs)
I am obese and in the first couple of weeks of a big lifestyle change, so I'm seeing big losses on a day-to-day basis. I'd really like to celebrate this but I have such a damaged relationship with food and weightloss that I'm contantly monitoring myself and telling myself to prepare mentally for the losses to slow down! I'm aiming for 1kg loss a week, but it's taking 2-3 days to lose that at the moment. I'm proud of the consistency I've had with eating my regular meals and snacks and not binging!

GW-140
3/13-168-So glad to be “back on the wagon”; it’s Monday, a new round and the sun is shining! Had another crab feed this weekend and that came with pasta and everything else. Went to a wonderful Japanese restaurant yesterday for a friend’s birthday, super good food but lots of carbs. Board meeting this morning and then a walk in the sunshine and hopefully hop on the horse.
3/14-170-On top of all of the weekend eating, my friend gave us a loaf of her homemade sourdough bread; it’s got sun dried tomatoes and Greek olives. Maybe I’ll slice it up and freeze it, having “one” piece every once in a while. Rain today, yoga this morning and errands. Got my seeds started yesterday.
3/15-167-Lower number because I threw the rest of the bread in the trash and ate fish and fruit. Lots of horrid wind so I just stayed in and tidied up the house and sewed. Our 24yo son is coming for a visit for one night and we are excited.7 -

Hello my friends...sorry I missed the last day of R216. I had a great visit with some friends...my joy bucket is filled...but so was my belly. Time to get back on track as we leave for Mexico in 15 days!!! I wanted to get down to 170 or below by then but last round wasn't super awesome so I'm just going to be hopefully optimistic about that goal.
51yrs - Female - 5'5"
Goal weight - to hang out somewhere 145-150
R216 EW - 3/11 -174.8 - 3/12DNW
3/13 - 176.4 - Bleh - result of many laughs and tears over too many glasses of Prosecco on the weekend. But it's Monday and I'm committing to tracking everything this week...even the scone I had for breakfast today (I brought them home for the boys but apparently they haven't noticed them). I will see it when I open my app to track lunch and dinner and will make good choices for a balanced day. Last morning with my parents' dog, so I'm also looking forward to some good hikes this week without the pokey little puppy, Mack and I are both missing them. I'm feeling the time shift this morning so we will get out for a walk but probably keep it lighter, I can hop on the elliptical later if I have an energy burst. Have a great start to the week everyone!!!
3/14 - 175.6 - right direction. Feeling off today again...slept horribly, my lower back is super tight. Wanted to hike today but think I'll stick to a light walk to loosen things up and then some stretching, don't want to end up in the woods with my back seizing up.
3/15 - 175.6 - again. Bright sunny day today! Would have been a great day for a hike...but we planned a family day for the boys on their march break. I got rush seats for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child so we are heading to Toronto today to see the matinee and then hang out for a while, hit some record shops and have dinner. Should be fun but there won't be much activity with the drive and a 3 hour play. I will be mindful of what I choose for dinner tonight.

For some reason the cold yesterday seemed to go right through me, so I stayed in other than a few fetch games with 5he pup out back. I’m feeling more inclined to get out today.
3/14 - 179
Today is our 31st anniversary. Whew! 31!? It’s been a fun ride! Anyway, I woke up to a big box of chocolates from DH. Love the thought, of course love the chocolates, don’t love the calories. I’m going to freeze most of them for later, take a couple out occasionally. I’m sure we’ll be doing something special for a late lunch/early dinner. 🥂 Maybe I’ll skip the scale tomorrow! Anyway, it’s freakin’ cold out, so I think I’m in again most of the day. Looking forward to warm days so I can walk everything off!
3/15 - 180
I expected that! We had Italian for our celebratory dinner yesterday, a creamy chicken risotto for me plus salad, and I enjoyed every bite. I also ate way too many of those chocolates, so may bump up again tomorrow, though I’m going to try hard to eat responsibly today (and tomorrow and tomorrow….). Another really cold day here so far—I’m hoping it will warm up this afternoon. I’m definitely ready for spring, and it’s on the way according to all the daffodils, albums, tulips, and lilies poking their green little heads up! 🌷🌷🌷

First G al: Hit the 160's (again)
179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169
Stick to Plan:- Calorie cycle for a weekly average of 1200 to 1500
- Exercise: Row, Walk, Bike, Weights, Snowshoe, Dance, Jazzercise
- Water: Shoot for 80oz per day
- Binge-Free & Sugar-Free for 100 days
- Lots of veggies and protein, some fruit (very little processed foods or simple carbs which I hardly have anyway)
- I need to figure out a way to get more grains. I'll try oatmeal again.
100-Day Weight Tracking as a Binge-Free & Sugar-Free Human
Bingeing is why I'm where I am now. I want to see the results with 100 days of no bingeing. I'm not talking about going over calories from overeating a little, I'm talking full-out bingeing. And that's not just on bad foods, even when I'm eating well, I'll binge. This will be extremely challenging but if I stick to it (and stay off sugar and simple carbs to stop cravings), there is no way I'm not going to see consistent weight loss during these 100 days (not to mention the health benefits)! I'll say right from the get-go, if I do slip, I will not punish myself, I will just move to the next day binge-free. However, my goal is NOT to binge.

176.x stayed around another day - YAY!!. Another snow storm coming. Hopefully this is the last one. I love every season in Maine (even winter), but my Georgia roots kick in, even after 23 years in Maine, asking where are the flowers and leaves LOL. Because of covid and my illness/surgery last summer, and now my MIL's illness, it's been so long since I've been to Georgia, and I miss my family so much!! I'm a very fearful flyer. Even though I worked for Delta Air Lines for 30 years, and I still have free flight privileges, for years, I took Amtrak to Georgia because of my fear. I love trains but the trip was exhausting. I would leave about 4am to drive to NH, take CJ's bus to BOS, BOS to Penn Station, then overnight to ATL, arriving 30 hours later. Time to put my big girl panties on and fly!!
3/14: 176.0 - Rowed/Biked✔ Water✔ Calories✔
Almost dropping to 175.x this morning was a nice surprise. I'm proving to myself that when I stick to my plan, it will happen! You lose confidence that you can do it when you stop and start as many times as I have. I don't have much faith that we won't lose power with this storm (knocking on wood as I say that).
3/15: 175.9 - Rowed/Biked✔ Water✔ Calories✔ I would have been happy with just 176.0 sticking around, but I dropped into the 175's! I'm feeling strong and capable right now. I just have to stay patient!

GIVE ME 10 DAYS – ROUND 217
Round 217
March 13 - 22, 2023
61 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
Goal for round 217. Would like to make it down to 135 (1 pound) for this round. DD, DGS and SIL are coming to stay with us in the Key on March 25. Last year when they came, I was between 134 and 135. Would like to return to that number, then finish my job of trimming weight after they leave.
History:
Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, and a DGS. We have three parents, 88(father), 86(mother), 84(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Selling family home distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse. A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

SW: 136.0
Day/Weight/Comment
3/13 – 135.4 Nice surprise, but overall theory shot. Woke up late, 7.04. We meet for group walks at 7 am. Oops. I usually wake up without an alarm, like yesterday. BUT I managed to instead run to the grocery store and buy water (they were out yesterday) as they were loading the shelves. We are having a “boil water” precaution due to Florida Keys water main breaking twice in three days.
3/14 – 135.8 Expected this today. 1) I do zero exercise yesterday 2) I did a “controlled” binge last night. Pretty much the first since Feb 1. I hit about 2000 calories today. 2078 to be exact, as I tracked every bit of it. Heading out for my walk…….
3/15 – 135.2 yesterday, was slightly under goal and did not eat back any exercise. Today, got up early and chose to walk on my own. Walked to the beach for the sunrise. Nope, today is a rare raining day and no sun came up. Walked over 7 miles at a great pace. Felt good.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 217 (my 148th). As always, thank you. @QuiltingJaine you are a star!
Goal for this round; again I'm not looking at a specific number, any loss and keeping clear of binges, keep within calories & macros. I can do this but, consistency is paramount, lets do it again for just for 10 days as the reward is great!!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 taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 130. Healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

3/13 - 146.6 Nice way to start a new round! Yesterday was an ab workout + got in a little over 14,000 steps. Need to menu plan & get to the grocery store today as I am out of everything, but looks like a big snowstorm is coming tomorrow, so know the stores will be crazy. Also fighting off a little cold bug, I cannot/will not get sick!
3/14 - 146.4 Well, the cold bug got the better of me yesterday after all, skipped my workout and my Fitbit says I slept 13+ hours and poorly at that. I think I'm more on the mend today and going to work out and see how I feel afterwards.
3/15 - 146.4 Don't think I'll see a real drop on the scale again until I shake this cold but feeling better day by day. Yesterday I felt good enough to get in a workout, did a HIIT full body with weights, followed by a little bit of yoga stretches and then a long soak in a hot bath, was sedentary for the rest of the day and went to bed early. NSV...Saw a noticeable change in my waistline/stomach in the mirror this morning, positive things are happening!

Hi All - Robyn yo-yo here! I'm in for another round. I lost around four pounds during round 215 only to gain it back during 216, so I'm a bit frustrated with myself but not giving up. My goal is to stop fooling around and to lose 10-14 pounds over the next 6 rounds (by May).

3/15: 146.8 - I'm surprised it's not a higher number this morning. Yesterday included a lot of snacking between lunch and dinner, a healthy low-calorie dinner, and then a little more snacking with a couple drinks after dinner. Yesterday also did not include a workout.
