JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | Round 23

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.
11/26 - 145.2 lbs. - 15.7% - Did not expect another rise in BF%, but I can only assume it is continued delayed fat build. Tomorrow will be higher probably of both weight and BF.
11/27 - 146.4 lbs. - 17.0% - Increases expected.
11/28 - 150.4 lbs. - 14.6% - Had a spontaneous free meal yesterday and paying for it with weight gain - meal itself was probably around 4-5 lbs., including water in food... so this is about right.2 -

Day/Weight/Comment
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
11/26 - 145.8 well that is a surprise for sure considering the amount of sugar I consumed at the craft markets. I did end up finally eating that green salad for dinner (needed to be eaten and I was craving some vegetables). So maybe that helped? We shall see what happens heading into the start of the week though.
11/27 - 146.4 ah there is the Christmas market showing up. Well onwards to a new week.
11/28 - 146.2 Rough day yesterday for food. Had a full day of training for work which included lasagne as the lunch and I ate the cookie on the break. Didn’t really have any calories left for dinner after that and ended up with fast food for dinner due to a super busy evening. But hey it’s the total journey that counts right? And you can’t win every day. I’m excited to keep going with the next round though. Checking in and posting every day is really keeping me accountable. And on the plus side I definitely felt like my belt was way too big yesterday and my skinny pants felt like they were falling down, so something must be working.8 -
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!
11/26 Forgot to weigh............
11/27 137.6 Yes loved to still see this number on the scale! Nearly the end of this round and can’t wait for the next.
11/28 137.8 Woot woot!!! Yay a pound down from the first day of round 23. So happy with this. Let’s rock the next 10 days everyone!

11/19 - 192 Huh, and I took it relatively easy yesterday. Just doing chores and some stretches.
11/20 - 192 Was really tired yesterday. Barely could drag myself to my step goal.
11/21 - 191.6 Went to bed really early, but I still got my step and calorie goal.
11/22 - 192.2 At least it's under 193 I guess.
11/23 - 193.8 oof, not trying to be freaked out, I drank a ton of water yesterday, but I have been more lax. And I am out of town.
11/24 - Travel - thought I'd have a scale at the hotel fitness room but, no.
11/25 - Travel
11/26 - Travel
11/27 - 194 for it being four days of holiday and travel it could be worse.
11/28 - 193.25 -
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!
11/26 - 210.0! Omg. I have no idea how it went down this much. Maybe dehydration? Maybe i was hanging on to a bunch of water weight from a week of eating bad. Wow. Super excited! It may not last but those numbers look so so nice!
11/27 - 209.5. Well i made my goal but my body cheated and decided to get sick. Again im happy to see 9s.. but i don't think it will stick. Hopefully i will be able to get to the gym this week.
11/28 -210.3 - looks like i levelled off and this is much more accurate. Down 3.2lbs! Gym today!7 -
Round 21 ended with 156.8.
Round 22 ended with the same, 156.8
I'm so hoping to get back down to 153 pounds...
Day/Weight/Comment:
11/19 155.2 Dieted successfully, yesterday. I planned the day & stuck with it. Included yummy slice of birthday cake! I knew I had an Anniversary party to go to, last night, so planned for the cake & asked the menu in advance & planned accordingly. Hope that I stick with my plans more this challenge. This holiday week is going to be so difficult! Hard to plan when traveling & out of town.
11/20 155.8 I'm happy with this! Very stressful day, yesterday, and only a little over in calories.
11/21 157.6 Yep, I knew it! Yep, the extra meatball, Goobers, and 1/2 a 50 cent mini pecan pie... put me way over the top...
11/22 156.0 Whoo!
11/23 158.2 Stress & weakness! A powerful combination for someone who forgot her goals & seems to have No Willpower. At least it wasn't a true binge. I have been controlling those more, here lately!
11/24 No scale - out of town
11/25 No scale - out of town
11/26 No scale - out of town
11/27 156.4 I was happy with this after Thanksgiving holiday & eating with reckless abandon.
11/28 158.0 Uh oh... guess it caught up with me today.

As most of my fit friends know, I fell off the wagon. My motivation is not where it was and I don't care...I just gave up the last round I was part of. Trying to fake it and get it back - going to give this another shot.
11/19 - Didn't care
11/20 - 220.4 - Was really glad you were not in the middle of a round so I feel like this is still a fresh start. My goal is to check in again tomorrow.
11/21 - No time to weigh in this morning (woke up late and forgot due to the panic) - will update tomorrow am. My goal is to check in tomorrow.
11/22 - 219.8 - Nothing like the pace of a snail...
11/23 - 219.1 - Happy Thanksgiving to those who are celebrating today! Gobble Gobble!
11/24 - Didn't care
11/25 - 221.9
11/26 - Didn't care
11/27 - 222.1
11/28 - 226 - I am so frustrated right now. Woke up LATE, my day is off the rails and it's hardly past 9:00am...only 7 hours to go
. I used the scale at work...hopefully this is due to steel toed boots and fully clothed...it's probably not, who am I kidding? Ugh, terrible round but I suppose the silver lining is that I'm about to find the next post which is mountains ahead of where I was the start of this round. Blah. 6 -
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.

Ate very small pieces of pie (couldn't resist apple & pumpkin) later for dessert and no supper, just ate hard boiled egg for late evening snack. As planned, walked dog 3 miles before travels (had 5 1/2 hours round trip in car) & drank plenty of water = 14c. Fitbit 10,102 steps, 250+ steps 5/14 hours (yikes, that was sedentary) & 5 floors.

11/28 • 115 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights this morning. I’m happy that I was able to meet my goal for this round despite Thanksgiving. I'm getting pretty close to my ultimate goal weight of 112. But I feel like I've already transitioned to maintenance. I don't plan on doing anything differently once I reach 112. I've been exercising every morning for the last 2 years. It's just part of my morning ritual & I love it.
Average: 114.9 - Yay, I met my goal for this round7 -
R22 * Start = 143.4 * Ave = 141.9 * Min = 140.2 * End = 141.2 *
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
11/26 - 139.8 - Hiked 10K on Angel Island yesterday, ate back all my exercise cals but still just under my calories for the day. Bounceback is always expected, just delighted to still be in the 130's
11/27 - 139.6 - ran 30 minutes yesterday and did not eat back exercise calories, just not my best emotional day. Super healthy dinner and got very well hydrated. Astonished that I didn't bounce over 140. Bodies are an oddish thing!
11/28 - 139.6 - ran 15 minutes, elliptical 20, stairclimber 10 minutes/500 steps. Under calories but I ate a salty crunchy snack - "to stay awake at work" was my excuse, how creative!
This round - Start = 142.0 * Ave = 140.1 * Min = 139.4 * End 139.6 VERY SATISFIED!
Looking forward to Round 24!6 -
Thanks again, Cyranda! I’m in!
Self-control flew right out the window last challenge and I fell into old habits of reckless eating late at night. That ends NOW! No eating after 9 p.m.!

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.
11/26 251.2 -- It’s hard to see this is the 7th day of the challenge and I am only now feeling the commitment in my brain necessary to stick to controlling my calorie intake. No eating after 9 p.m.!
11/27 251.2 -- Last night I stayed up late but did not snack! Can I do both? It seems I can. Now I must remember this!
11/28 251.8 -- Ending exactly where I began and that reflects a lack of steadfast commitment. At least, the middle weight of this challenge is 2 pounds less than the most recent challenge and lowest yet by a pound.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
11/20 225.1
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.
11/22 222.9 Much better! Hoping to still manage to get to my end weight from last round. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I feel that may be a lofty goal, but I'm going to try!
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.
11/25 222.9 Still here.
11/26 225.1 forgot to post
11/27 223.1 I'm all over the place, TOM is here, and having a problem with waking up and eating during the night. Didn't do it last night, so I'm hoping to maintain control.
