Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds but haven't lost in a couple of months. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years. It's been verrry slow the last couple months.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19....142 Ate out 2 meals yesterday. Today, ellip
11/20...142.4 Arrgghh, no exercise, spent the day cooking and made bread, which I ate! Today, I'll do better.
11/21... 141 More like it... did 75 min on ellip yesterday. Today, I will go back to entering food in diary before eating it. Helps me decided whether or not it's worth the cost. More ellip
11/22... 140.8 Ellip yesterday 45 min... water, ellip and entering before eating = goals for the day. Happy pre Thanksgiving to those in US.
11/23...140.8 Did 75 min on ellip, no wine for 3 days, ate sensibly and within limits, surprised weight didn't drop.
11/24...1418 50 min ellip ... way too many carbs yesterday with Thanksgiving.
11/25...141.2 Surprised at drop as we had a second thanksgiving yesterday. Did 60 min ellip. Drank lots of water.

Round 23
Ended R22 on 138.2
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 138.8 OK this is fine. Happy Sunday everyone! I’m out all day volunteering at a Santa Claus Parade, so busy busy today!
11/20 136.4 This is a blip and will probably bounce back up tomorrow. Although I had a big breakfast yesterday I was out all day volunteering for a Santa Claus Parade and didn’t eat much dinner but did have couple of glasses of wine. Let’s see how it goes.........
11/21 138.4 Knew yesterday weigh in was a fluke lol But that’s fine. Today has been an ok day, ate well but have had cluster headache now for 2 days
11/22 138.8 Yesterday was a good day for eating. Headache gone.... yay! Back to the gym for the rest of the week, be it home gym or gym in town either way I will work out!
11/23 138.6 Feeling good, this challenge is definitely making me think about what I’m eating especially in the evenings. It’s exactly what I needed to get the weight off I’ve put on this year. Let’s keep going............
11/24 - on last post - editing and accidentally cut this post.
11/25 137.2 What???? Oh err I have been eating really well and sticking to the plan but not been to gym. Going today so this number will probably jump up. But I’m feeling good and this challenge has got me back on track!

ROUND 23 Start = 142
11/19 - 142.0 - ran 30 mins yesterday and under calories. This is the bounce, I get it.
11/20 - 140.4 - ran 33 mins yesterday, plus 2 mile hilly hike and under calories.
11/21 - 140.6 - calories almost even with .5 loss plan yesterday, small hike but that's it.
11/22 - 140.6 - major calories-in mess-up yesterday, over maintenance by a couple hundred. Felt sick and emotional much of day. Holiday approach without contact or plans with 22-yo daughter is kicking my *kitten*. No workout.
11/23 - 139.8 - woot first 130's weight since over a year ago!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Yesterday, ran and ate well under calories. Today, I plan to run and to eat at or below maintenance.
11/24 - 139.6 - Ran 4.25 miles yesterday. Healthy gourmet dinner, every dish (except the lobster) had something from his garden in it. Calories 200 below deficit.
11/25 - 139.4 - 30 mins on elliptical, under calories yesterday. Today: hike to the top of the little "mountain" on Angel Island, which will be easier without the 8 lbs I have lost so far

11/19 - 149.0 disappointed a bit with going up. I ate pretty well yesterday and beat my step goal AND didn’t even eat the chocolate truffle I was dying to eat last night! Oh well, I guess that’s the way it goes sometimes. Keep persisting.
11/20 - 148.4 honestly a bit surprised with this one. Kind of broke down and over ate with a burger last night.
11/21 - 148.2 I’ll take it! Not sure why, but weekdays are so much easier to keep to the green salad for lunch.
11/22 - 147.8 well hello there! Slow and steady wins the race. Green salad for lunch over the last couple days equals happy number on the scale. Really do need to buckle down and move more but the -20 outside (I’m in Canada) is making that less than motivating lol
11/23 - 148.0 hoping this bounce up is a momentary blip. A bit frustrating after a day where I ate decent and went to the gym and ran around with my dogs in the evening (dog class). Back to the green salad for lunch today and hopefully that will help tomorrow’s weigh in.
11/24 - 147.2 definitely thinking yesterday must have been water retention from my work out. Ended up with pizza for lunch yesterday as work brought it in. All in all kept within the calorie goal though. Onwards to today!
11/25 - 146.4 Wahoo! Although I still haven’t managed to eat that green salad lol. Oh well, yesterday was good for calorie intake. Today will be a bit rough, going to some Christmas markets and plan on eating a freshly made cinnamon bun and also drinking a mocha or hot chocolate along the way. Need to enjoy the Christmas season a bit

11/19 173.4 Went out last night with the hubs and decided to get dessert after. Wound up eating above maintenance and the scale shows it.
11/20 173.4 Went for my second day of maintenance calories yesterday to help out the hormone levels. Back on my deficit today, and all week until a cheat meal on Thursday!
11/21 172.4 the weekend weight is all gone. I ate 3 oreos yesterday but was still within 5 calories of my goal, lol. hoping to see a bit of a drop tomorrow~
11/22 172.8 sigh. I have been eating a bit more than usual but nothing crazy. body fat was down on the scale which sometimes means I'm holding water. guess we shall see tomorrow
11/23 174.4 Wha? this was a weird weigh in.
11/24 175.6 not so bad considering the trend. I ate what I wanted, but no where near as much as I would have before. Plus I really on had the one meal, as I was cooking in the morning and driving in the evening. looking for a drop tomorrow- drinking all the water today!
11/25 175.2 darn how can there be only 3 more days left? Trying not to be discouraged by the number on the scale. My pants still fit great, and no one else can see it except me. Needs to be the motivation to stay the course and keep things rolling downward. This will be my first round where my average weight is higher than the last unless this trend changes quickly.

11/19 216.8 - major binge Friday night and didn't track on Saturday. Not surprised
11/20 215.6 - coming back down. Really focused on keeping it together this week. Not sure if I'll make my goal this round at this rate. We shall see.
11/21 213.6 - Getting better. I hope it keeps going.
11/22 211.4 - Alright! Now let's see if I can stay down over the holiday weekend.
11/23 211.6 - Not to bad
11/24 213.4 - I'm OK with this given I was stuffed after Thanksgiving dinner. Morning average is still going down, so it is fine.
11/25 212.4 - Equal with my morning average now. Not a lot of hope for the rest of this weekend. Today we are going to my mom's and tomorrow is DucksGrilling (the tradition we started since we only have our girls for Thanksgiving every other year - they love it!)

Age 60, 5'4" [lost 1/2" somewhere, not the measurement I wanted to lose]
SW 195 [joined MFP Nov 2015, lost 9.5# & got serious Jan 2017]
1st Goal 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
2nd Goal 145 = normal BMI
UGW Range 140 - 145
I weigh first thing in the morning when I get up. My scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day. Previous round EW 162.0 LW 162.010/20/17 / Started Round 20: Oooh, I like this thread! I've been weighing myself daily since April, keeping track in MFP Food Notes, and logging my "official" weigh-ins on Saturdays. I've been amazed at how much my weight can fluctuate from day to day, depending on eating out or processed foods, adult beverages, net calories green or red, etc. Daily weigh-ins really help me see cause and effect with high sodium, too much sugar, etc. I don't get freaked now by a jump on the scale, since I know what I did to cause it, and what I can do to change it.

My goal is to reach 10% body fat by year end... actually by 12/30 because that is when my Dexa is scheduled. I'm going to list weight and BF% based on my scale, which is going to fluctuate at times as diet changes. On some days - and I know when those are based on diet - it will be inaccurate.
From round 22:Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/9 - 149.6 lbs. - 16.8% - scale is reading higher than actual BF%
11/10 - 148.4 lbs. - 15.9% - scale is still higher than actual BF%, but getting closer to actual
11/11 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.9% - scale is higher than actual BF%, this time not expected
11/12 - 148.6 - 16.8% - scale is still showing higher than actual BF%, still not entirely expected. I have a theory as to what is driving the incorrectly high BF%.
11/13 - 148.6 lbs. - 18.5% - Yesterday was a re-feed / glycogen replenishment day. I'm surprised weight did not also increase, but expected BF% to be unreliable. I expect it to remain that way for the next 2-3 days.
11/14 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.4% - Depending on whether I eat a lot of fibrous green vegetables today, BF% will either stay pretty stable by tomorrow morning or will decrease. I may find it hard to feel full without lettuce or green beans... but since scale BF% is just artificially high if I eat them and real BF% is not truly much different, I'm probably going to eat greens if I'm hungry anyway.
11/15 - 146.4 - 15.6% - No veg yesterday, scale is closer to a correct BF%.
11/16 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9% - No veg yesterday again, and BF% is almost right where I would expect Dexa to come up. The idea that eating low carb green / fibrous veggies would affect the scale BF% so much is a relatively new revelation. Thinking back, the last Dexa was 0.3% lower than the scale on that same day (that is extremely close); and my scale is ALWAYS higher than any other measurement method or device - including other bio-electric impedance devices, which are always super low. When that last Dexa was taken and it was almost the same as the scale, I had not eaten plants for 45 days prior (except coffee, tea, and small quantities of seasonings and sauces). I still plan to eat some low carb (net carb) fibrous veggies while I continue to strive for 10% BF by 12/30, but will do take breaks occasionally to get a better idea of where Dexa will come in.
11/17 - 147.8 lbs. - 13.9% - Slight weight increase, not sure why... probably water weight. Another day without veg and BF% is spot on as close as I'm going to get to being real. Tomorrow is going to be high again based on today's planned diet.
11/18- 146.0 lbs. - 15.4% - Did not expect weight to decrease, but expected reported BF% to rise.
Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/19 - 145.8 lbs. - 13.5% - Did not expect BF% to drop this much this fast.
11/20 - 147.6 lbs. - 16.2% - Both increases were expected based on yesterday's food plan. Should see decrease over the next few days until Fri. morning, which will go back up again.
11/21 - 147.0 lbs. - 15.7% - Expected a small decrease. Expect another small decrease tomorrow.
11/22 - 146.6 lbs. - 15.3%
11/23 - 145.6 lbs. - 14.8% - Will be higher tomorrow.
11/24 - 147.2 lbs. - 14.4% - Did not expect BF to decrease, but maybe that is delayed...
11/25 - 145.8 lbs. - 15.2% - There is the delayed fat storage.

Round 23
SW 213.5
GW 209.9 (i realize this is a lot but i'm excited to see this number so why not try!)
11/19 - 214.3 - up. Im not sure why. Maybe there was a lot of salt in the meal my sister in law made last night.
11/20 -213.4 back down to my lowest yet.
Gym and kickboxing today. And groceries. Cooking yummy jerk chicken in the slow cooker. This week i will be doing a lot of exercise so i am excited to see the results!
11/21 - 214.6 - up.. maybe due to salt.
11/22 - 215.6
11/23 - 215.4
11/24 - 212.7 - a perfect goal day yesterday paid off! New low!
11/25 - 211.7 woohoo! Looks like i caught up and lost the food weight. Continuing to exercise despite not eating perfectly paid off! This motivated me to make arrangements to go to the gym again today!

11/19: 163.5 Nice little drop there.
11/20: 164.9 Grrr. I am not surprised. Started a new level on my weights this weekend and went to get a massage yesterday. Had some wine and a delicious dinner afterwards. I am sore all over! Focus is on the water today.
11/21: 164.6 I've stopped tracking; need to start that up again as I think it will help me with eating better foods at a deficit (instead of maintaining, which is what I have been doing). Had a good run on the treadmill last night. I am starting to feel my muscles again!
11/22: 164.3 Had a nice mini hike with my son yesterday. We went to his favorite pizza place and I managed to order a half spinach salad instead of the slice. Really did not want to see a bounce up today! lol
Prepping for dinner tomorrow... stuffing, pie, and veggies are on my list.
11/23: 165.4 Okay, I have to keep reminding myself it is not about the number... but about my mindset and the changes I am making. I allow myself one plate today and one tomorrow and will get plenty of water, and plenty of exercise. Happy Thanksgiving!
11/24: 164.3 Nice. I was able to monitor myself pretty well. Yesterday I did my weights and 20 minutes on my elliptical before I headed over to my parents' house. Limited myself to one plate and I felt exhausted after eating all those carbs! It was quite delicious, though.
Back on track today; went to the gym and ran 3 miles.
11/25: 163.3 I have seen this number before. TOM came back. Couldn't get enough of me apparently. @tishawj, you are so right... so unpredictable!!6 -
11/19 162
11/20 - 161.2
11/22 - 160lbs. close to getting under 160. would be nice
11/23 - 161.4 - up a bit which was disappointing because I was so close to getting under 160. Walked 3 miles today so maybe that will help with Thanksgiving. Thought I would focus on turkey, gravy, beans, dressing and a dessert the size of my fist. Should help.
11/24 - 162.4lbs. Again, not surprising. Stuck to my plan yesterday so that helped control the damage. Now to get back on track.
11/25 - 161.2 back weight I was a few days ago. directionally correct.5 -

I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance/refeed for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. I want to offset hormonal changes that occur when losing weight for extended periods of time that can make it harder to lose and maintain weight and I'm hoping to alleviate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19--221.5 2lb increase over yesterday. I hit the trifecta of temporary weight gain--ate at maintenance, did not drink enough water, and worked out. Eating at maintenance today. I'm going to do some stretching today to help with the soreness from my kettlebell workout.
11/20--222.6 Temporary weight gain from eating at maintenance yesterday. Going to kettle bell again tonight.
11/21--222.0 Temporary weight gain from the hard work out yesterday, I am so sore, and lack of water. Today is rest day and making sure that I keep hydrated.
11/22--221.7 Still sore. Just a reminder that when you start working out you will show a temporary weight gain and your weight loss will slow for awhile. Going to kettlebell tonight. Goal is to stay hydrated today.
11/23--220.6 I am surprised that my weight went down after the tough ketttlebell class yesterday I thought I would still be retaining water. Going for a long walk today and then going out later for Thanksgiving dinner.
11/24--222.0 One day of eating above maintenance, now back to eating at deficit.
11/25--220.9 Nice to see the water weight going, but I still feel really heavy today and I can't see myself being able to eat at maintenance today, so I'll probably eat at a slight deficit today but that may change. Going to kettlebell today.

11/19 258.2 I have been stuck for awhile give or take a couple of pounds. Time to get the needle headed in the right direction again. The holidays are a concern because I typically put on about 10 from Thanksgiving to New years and I can't afford to do that anymore. My goal this year is to actually lose 5 during that span, now thats gonna be a challenge. Have a great round everyone.
11/20 257.1 yay getting ready for Thursday gotta get a couple off because I will gain them back on Turkey day.
11/21 256.8 Prepping for the Thursday feeding, 11000 steps helped a bunch.
11/22 256.8 Holding steady prepping for the Thursday feast; chicken enchiladas, spanish rice, homemade guac and chips, pumpkin pie, hows that for non-traditional haha.
11/23 256.8
11/24 258.6 Wow, to many carbs, to much sugar, I must say as I get older (53) i really can't do the heavy eating anymore like when I was younger which I'm sure is to my benefit. So, now I ask myself if this is true then why do I do it. yes why indeed. Time to get those 2 pounds off and eat like a grown up.
11/25 259.0 If I get on that scale and see 260 again I will so freak out.

Planning ahead for a small splurge but mostly healthy on TG. We've taken to having sweet potatoes without the sugar & butter (and I love them neat anyway), and I limit the stuffing and make my own cranberry sauce with chopped apple in place of sugar (I'm the only one who eats it, and I like it this way). So the big splurge is pie, and I minimize how much we have. Luckily by hubby isn't a big sweet eater. (To get my pumpkin fix this time of year, I get pumpkin butter and mix a Tbsp into cottage cheese or plain yogurt - yummy!) Everything else in our main dinner is healthy. The past three years I've run a 5K on TG morning, but we're in a different place and I didn't enter a race, so, unless it's pouring rain, I'll do my own private turkey trot. :-) I plan to enjoy TG without overdosing.
11/20 - 147.8
Went out for a ginormous (though healthy) breakfast yesterday, then had an apple for lunch and a light supper, so I didn't go over my goal, but did, I'm sure, get more sodium than usual. So this is fine.
11/21 - 148.2
Aha! There's my big, probably high sodium Sunday breakfast! Ok, moving right along...
11/22 - 149.2
Uck. OTOH, I'm under 150. I may give myself a little weigh-in break the next few days so the likely small gain on TG won't make me crazy. We'll see,
11/23 - 148.6
Ok, I have a pretty healthy day planned, so I will keep weighing after all. I will have some pumpkin pie, but the sweet potatoes are sans sugar and butter, and I'm skipping the stuffing. I have been a little careless this week, so no surprise that I'm up slightly, and I won't be surprised if I don't lose anything this round. Holding steady through the holidays is fine. Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving!
11/24 - 148.5
Well, there's a surprise! I didn't exactly pig out yesterday, but I did eat more than usual. Today is very healthy leftovers + a piece of pie. And a walk - finally a day without rain!
11/25 - 148.4
The pie is gone, and the leftovers, so back on track today. Hoping to finish this round no higher than I started. :-)

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 251.8 -- One pound less than yesterday. Rather than save calories for evening snacks, I made sure to eat all my calories during the day and finished with supper. I didn’t stay up until the wee hours and I didn’t do any late night post-diary snacking!
11/20 250.2 -- Lowest yet. I will continue getting all calories eaten by the end of supper. If I don’t start to eat after supper I don’t need to figure out how to stop at a time of day (late evening) when I’m least in control of my eating.
11/21 251.0 -- The scale is toying with me.
11/22 252.8 -- Over ate with reckless abandon yesterday and this is the result. It was fun but as my mother says, “Them that plays pays.” Back to controlled eating today.
11/23 251.6 -- A nice controlled day yesterday. I must remember to weigh portions today. We’re having pot roast at hubby’s request and that can’t really be measured ahead of time. I’m going to be looking for listings like “chuck roast, braised.” Happy Thanksgiving!
11/24 252.0 -- After yesterday’s immoderation, eating-wise, this is to be expected.
11/25 251.6 -- One shouldn’t be eating “at maintenance” while still over 100 pounds overweight but that’s clearly what I’m doing with late night snacking. Must get back into the discipline of eating only what I log.
11/26 No eating after 9 p.m.!

Weight has gone up the last couple of days. I've been eating more carbs, so my non BF weight has definitely gone up this week. Debating whether I want to go back to "normal" carb intake now that my running mileage has gotten longer and more intense. I feel like I am hungry all the time (maybe because of the increase in carbs). Lots of exercise today--ran 10K and did a long yoga class. Still pretty sore from strength workout yesterday. Did log today (did I really have that much almond butter?).
Goal this round 131.0 25.5% BF, start logging again regularly, do at least 4 strength workouts (I will count yoga toward this too!)

11/19 150.0 I got on and off the scale 3 times to make sure this was real! I even took a picture! So excited because the last 4 days have included 2 potlucks and a buffet at Golden Corral for my husband’s birthday and lunch today with our daughter and her family.
11/20 151 This is okay. It occurred to me that I accidentally fasted from our meal on Friday until Saturday evening. I was visiting with a friend who is moving and realized when I got home that I had not eaten anything all day. I may incorporate a one day a week fast into my plan.

11/19 225.1 So sick. Eating everything! Don't even care right now. Tomorrow I will do better. Today is better than yesterday, but still struggling to control myself. I hate being sick, and slide back into bad eating habits to comfort myself.

11/21 225.5 I'm forcing myself to look at this number and see where I'm heading. Hoping for the wake up call to finally go off again.

11/23 222.9 Here we go, it's going to be a temptation filled day!
11/24 222.9 Managed to get through the day without gaining anymore weight!! Now to get through the weekend! Let's see if I can drop this down some.

11/19 - 146.2/It's been a rough few days. Today was also not great in terms of food. It's all these social events that are happening. Tomorrow will be a good day. Tuesday is a work happy hour. Wednesday should be good. And then...Thanksgiving.
11/20 - 145.6/Hopefully, I can make my way down again, even with Thanksgiving and such. Ate well today. Feeling bloated and moody in anticipation of TOM.

OK day for food, not enough water. My goal for this round is 159.
11/20: 161.5
Did what I was supposed to do today. A bit anxious about a work event tomorrow.
11/21: 161.0
Saw this about a week ago. On my feet and outside most of the day today. OK day for calories, protein, etc. Probably a bit dehydrated although I drank over 2L. Kind expecting to be down tomorrow but I could be wrong.
11/22: 161.5
So, I was wrong on that one. Glad to have the day off tomorrow. We go to a relative's house for the holiday, not sure how I'll do on food. I pre-logged some stuff and I'm not planning to have wine or appetizers, but I'm going to have to say no a lot.
11/23: 160.5
Today was very bad, diet-wise. No surprise but I had kind of a plan I didn't stick to. Went way over on calories, yet didn't hit my goals for veggies or protein. Didn't have enough water. Definitely had sugar. I did get a little exercise at least. It's only one day, have to move forward. Hope those who celebrate had a nice Thanksgiving.
11/24: 162.5
Well deserved. I guess it's a victory that I got on the scale. Today I got quite a bit of exercise and ate pretty perfectly. I don't want to let the holiday derail me.
11/25: 161.0
Walked quite a bit plus did some other exercise, ate under my calorie goal.
