    Round 26 - last chance for 2017 :blush:
    Started this year @ 112 lbs. Have been working on losing back to my normal weight of 104-107 lbs for the past 10 years!
    Goal Weight: 105 lbs.

    12/19 106.2
    12/20 105.6 - 1500 Calories! Having annual labs drawn today. The weight loss should improve by Cholesterol and A1C :wink:
    12/21 105.9 - Going to get my Dexa-scan today (osteopenia) but the report will also show my body fat percent.

    12/22 106.6 - ate >1900 Calories yesterday, dark chocolate, dried fruit with cashews and red wine were worth it.

    Weighed prior to the Dexa-scan middle of the day: 107.7 lbs. The great news was that my height taken at the appointment was unchanged. Body Fat on the home scale was 22% (usually 24% due to dehydration in the morning). Will be fun to compare my scale (22%) to my Dexa results.

    12/23 105.3 - unexpected . . . :blush:
    12/24 106.2 - expected . . . :wink:
    Exercise first, then to the store to pick up missing items for dinner tonight. Pre-prepared lots of dishes yesterday but the coordination of the feast can still be tricky. Cheers Everyone!!!

    12/25 - forgot due to travel schedule.

    12/26 107.9 lbs very expected but not alarming
    12/27 107.6 lbs - on my way down!
    12/28 106.6 lbs - sooo hungry this morning!

    "Don't be upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do." - Orebela Gbenga

    Start 10/18/2017 = 147.9 * Goal = 130.0 and 20 miles/week
    R22 * Start = 143.4 * Ave = 141.9 * Min = 140.2 * End = 141.2
    R23 * Start = 142.0 * Ave = 140.1 * Min = 139.4 * End = 139.6
    R24 * Start = 140.0 * Ave = 138.6 * Min = 137.0 * End = 137.0
    R25 * Start = 136.6 * Ave = 137.0 * Min = 135.8 * End = 135.8

    12/19 - 136.6 - Under calories yesterday, no workout, got diagnosed with a stye so 1) on antibiotics and 2) stay away from the gym for others' sakes and 3) when I go back to the gym, wipe those machines before as well as after I use them!
    12/20 - 136.4 - under calories yesterday, no workout, but got all the Christmas boxes off (well almost). Feeling better, tonight a workout and early to bed.
    12/21 - 134.8 - Whooosh! I bounce a lot but I will take this.
    12/22 - 135.4 - expected rebound. Good workout yesterday, (barely) within calories. THANKS FOR KEEPING ME MOTIVATED, posting on this thread helps me!
    12/23 - 134.8 - Under calories and solid workout yesterday. Maybe I am gonna get my "135 for 12/25" goal after all.
    12/24 - 136.2 - Under calories and no workout yesterday, too busy running around on errands! No worries. Today, logging and getting a quick run.
    12/25 - 135.0 - Really happy about making my 135.0 goal for Christmas. And it's kinda funny how exact it was. Ran 2.4 yesterday and knee was a little touchy, well under maintenance for the day and that included some Christmas cookies.
    12/26 - 135.2 - REALLY dehydrated, already drank a quart of water. Yesterday no workout and did not log the main meal, I know I was super over because Christmas treat! Back to it today.
    12/27 - 136.2 - richly deserved this bounce! Exhausted yesterday, no workout, grabbed sub-par pie at work then got loose with the oatmeal shortbread in the evening. Let's see if I can fix any of this before the last day of the round!!

    12/28 - 136.0 - Yesterday ran 4.5 miles, did 8 minutes of mixed planks, and ate well under calorie limits. I sure enjoyed the treats over the holidays but I also really enjoy the feeling of balance, sanity, and self-care that comes when I do my system.

    Round 26 Start = 136.6 * Ave = 135.6 * Min = 134.8 * End = 136.0

    @sheilajean58 I know Dexa is not very forgiving, and I'm guessing I'll come in a bit over my 10% goal. My home scale, unlike most bio-electric impedance devices, reads higher with greater hydration / water retention. I know when I eat fiber and/or carbs, it will be much higher than Dexa simply due to the water retention with each. I know a couple days ago, I broke down and ate a bunch of broccoli, cauliflower, and green beans because I was just so hungry. The next day, my scale increased 1.8% BF despite little change in actual weight and that I had not consumed at a surplus.

    Starting yesterday, I've been eating carbs again to restore glycogen... I plan to continue to do this until Sat. My concern is trying to walk the fine line between glycogen vs. fat storage. Even 1/2 lb. of additional fat storage puts me at risk whereas it would take a significant amount of lean mass (even water stored with glycogen) to make a difference. This is where the math piece is important and with a goal of 10% BF, it takes around 10 times as much lean tissue gain as is needed for fat tissue loss.

    Based on current weight and compared to lean mass from my last Dexa in April, I would need to gain about 5 lbs. of lean tissue and all of my loss would have had to have been fat tissue.

    This is my first day and my first challenge, starting at 169lbs, highest I have ever been.

    SW: 169
    CW: 166.2
    GW: 130

    R26 - 2.8lbs

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/19 - 169lbs
    12/20 - 166.6lbs my body must be in shock!Whoop!!
    12/21 - 166.2lbs Need to have more water- feel really dehydrated this morning
    12/22 - 165.4lbs I’m so shocked! But I think the reality is I binged for about a week before I started this challenge but happy it’s moving. Out for Christmas drinks tonight so not too sure if tomorrow will be good!
    12/23 - 165.4lbs happy with this as I was out last night but I am definitely more mindful of what I’m eating/drinking because of this challenge. I would be happy to finish at 165 by the end of this challenge to set me up for the new year!
    12/24 - 167.2 oops getting a bit slack with my tracking and ate loads of cheese last night. Won’t be able to weigh in for a few days but want to wish everyone a Happy Christmas x
    12/25- didn’t weigh in
    12/26 -167.2lbs I’m expecting this to go up after yesterday but I sure it’s Christmas!
    12/27 - 165.6 whoop. Didn’t go overboard yesterday and went for a 7k walk. Would like to be 165 to start January.
    12/28 166.2 have to say I’m happy with that. I ate so much before I started this challenge they if I hadn’t done it I would have definitely been in the 170’s.

    I hear a lot of people talk about beef Wellington, but I don't have a clue what it is. Please tell me. Lol

    @nikki062181, here it is! A filet of beef covered with mustard, a mixture of mushrooms, scallions and garlic, prosciutto, and then all wrapped in puff pastry. It was delicious. I had one slice and that was plenty. ;) My SIL found this on the Tasty app... everything is in video form now, which makes cooking a lot more fun... when you can see how things are created.

    Goal this round = maintain -- my birthday is Friday and then Christmas. I don't plan to overdo the goodies, but I do intend to enjoy.

    Goal 140 by 2/17; UGW 130 by 6/30
    5'3", 64 yrs.
    Weight 2/2015 - 218
    Lost 68#, regained 12 (to 156) on metabolism reset 11/16-6/17.
    R15 end weight 151.2
    R16 end weight 151.4
    R17 end weight 151
    R18 end weight 150.4
    R19 end weight 149.6
    R20 end weight 149.3
    R21 end weight 149
    R22 end weight 148
    R23 end weight 148.4
    R24 end weight 149
    R25 end weight 148.4
    R26 goal 148.4 (maintain)

    12/19 - 149
    Not a surprise - we went out for lunch yesterday and I know my sodium was high and I feel bloated.

    12/20 - 149
    Definitely retaining water - I feel bloated.

    12/21 - 148.6
    That's better.

    12/22 - 148.6
    Going out for birthday lunch today, but I have my order planned - broiled seafood, veggies, and probably a dessert, no bread or potatoes. If the rain holds off I'll go for a walk later - had a good one yesterday. Thanks @quiltingjaine for remembering. :-)

    12/23 - 148.6
    Very happy with this since I had a major pig out yesterday - lunch out, with dessert - reasonably healthy but lots of calories - and then had a piece of cake and some other goodies later (hey, birthday stuff!) and had about 900 extra calories. I expect to bounce up tomorrow, but I'm ok with that. I'd just like to finish the round where I started. I'm not a sweet freak, but I do plan to have some fun!

    12/24 - 149
    As expected. It's all good!
    MERRY CHRISTMAS - Ho Ho Ho! And happy holidays, too -- all of them. <3

    12/25 - 149
    Merry Christmas, all! I plan to enjoy the food - not many sweets here, but I did bake a mince pie and some shortbread. I'm actually staying close to my maintenance calories, just more carbs than usual. Beautiful weather, so I'm off for a walk. Enjoy your day!

    12/26 - 149.2
    I absolutely enjoyed two generous servings (lunch and evening) of the mincemeat pie I baked and a couple of pieces of shortbread, plus a healthy dinner of turkey, a bit of dressing, gravy, sweet potatoes (steamed, not candied), brussel sprouts (steamed), cranberry sauce (homemade - cranberries + fruit-only blueberry spread - delish!) I went for a lovely hour's walk along the river, and otherwise just chilled with my hubby & doggy, knitting and reading. Today I'm back on track with the eating (yes, leftovers, but all healthy) and hopefully a walk (although it looks like rain, of course - Oregon!). Don't know that I'll make my goal to maintain, but I don't think I'll be too much over, either. I hope you all had a delicious Christmas if you celebrate, and lovely day if not. <3

    12/27 -149.8
    Not unexpected! And it's fine. I'm back on track as of yesterday, and working on cutting back a bit on net carbs. I won't make my goal this round, but a pound or two Christmas/birthday week is fine. Ready to roll in 2018!

    12/28 -149.2
    OK, I earned the gain :blush: but am back on the wagon now, and trying reduced carbs for a while - not keto, but lower than I've been eating. I've already learned that when I cut back on carbs and increase fats, I don't eat as many calories because I'm not hungry all the time.

    #cyranda63 Thank you for creating all these challenge rounds - this has definitely helped keep me on track and seeing other people's daily ups & downs has been inspiring and reassuring. I hope you benefit as much as you envisioned when you started this. Also hope you'll continue these into the New Year. Either way, many thanks!

    Round 25: 159.1

    12/19: 158.2 :)
    12/20: 158.7 1 out of 3 yesterday... I did get some good sleep last night. But not nearly enough water, no exercise, and a high calorie dinner. I feel even worse this morning. Just gotta hold on for a few days and then I have 11 days off from work! Don't know how I will manage 18 people at my house for Christmas eve, though... lots of water and vitamin C.
    12/21: 159.6 Was so busy did not get a chance to check in!
    12/22: 160.9 Oh boy. This is not a surprise! Had our dept. Christmas party last night. I don't think I need to go into detail. :s But... CHEESE! That is certainly my weakness. Today will be hard because I need to u-turn and get back on track. Hoping all the stuff I need to do today will keep me from eating mindlessly.
    12/23: 160.3 Drank a lot of water yesterday, did a lot of running around. Still managed to eat cookies while baking with my son last night. Woke up feeling old this morning. Not in a vain way... just more like... crap, I'm tired! I think my body is not liking food as a coping mechanism anymore because yesterday (post-cheese and wine party) I just felt horrible! I think I did have a true hangover! :s
    12/24: 160.3
    12/25: 163.3 :open_mouth:
    12/26: 161.3 My SIL made beef wellington for Christmas dinner. Decadent! I hope everyone had a nice holiday. It sounds like many of us are dedicated to getting back at it and starting out the new year strong. I am determined to get back into the 150s before the end of the year. o:)
    12/27: 160.8 Getting back down... my eating is still not great with all the leftovers around, but I got a good workout in yesterday and drank a ton of water.
    12/28: 161.5 So, gained quite a bit this round, and will have to make a mind shift and start tracking again. I always find long stretches of time off to be a bit dangerous for me. I do much better with routine.
