Day/Weight/Comment
3/9 (Friday) - 219 - Yesterday I was 217.6. So, let the water weight games begin. Lol
3/10 (Saturday) - 220.2 - Hahahahaha I hafta laugh :-) but I'm getting closer to another 20 lb loss, therefore, a bounce in weight. That's what my body does. I just need to stay on point with water, food and macros. I drank over a gallon of water yesterday, but under calories by 188, wasn't hungry enough to eat them.
3/11 (Sunday) - 217.4 - Yeah. Games.
3/12 (Monday) - 217.6 - SMH - I had a talk with her (my body) She's stubborn, but I'm determined.
3/13 (Tuesday) - 218 - Has to be electrolyte imbalance, food, water, calories, macros are on point. Interesting how the body works.
3/14 (Wednesday) - 217.4 - I was not going to comment today, but I have lost 35lbs since September '17. That is 5lbs a month and one of those months I was in a plateau. Some years ago, I developed the habit of of weighing myself once a week. During a fat loss period, I know that my weight fluctuates too much from water. So, all that to say, if my weight by the end of this 10 day challenge settles to 217.4, that is a 1.2lb loss and I cannot be dissapointed with the number.
3/15 (Thursday) - 217.4 - scale flashed 216.8, then 217.4. Bodyfat % dropped slightly, so I think I may be 216.8.
3/16 (Friday)- 217.2- If this weight holds steady, that would be a 1.4lb loss for the week and I would be on track. Dropped another .4% of bodyfat also. Very happy about that.

CW: 169.8
GW: 145.0
Goal for this round:
Lose 2.5 lbs (167.3).
No tracking of weight/calories 3/10 & 3/11 (travelling)
1200-1400 calories a day
Take daily vitamin
Date - Weight - Update
3/9 - 169.8 (ate a little over 1400 last night but maintained from day before) Today going well.
3/10 - travelling so no weigh-in or calorie tracker, took vitamin
3/11- travelling so no weigh-in or calorie tracker, took vitamin
3/12 - 172, took vitamin
3/13 -172.8 wrong direction
(ate under calories yesterday, think gain is hormonal water weight) ate under calories and walked on treadmill, took vitamin
3/14 - 170.6 took vitamin, under calories
3/15 -170 took vitamin, hoping tomorrow gets me back down around the weight I started the round with... or lower. Ate over by about 150 calories.
3/16 -169
probably won't make goal for the round, but hope to drop next couple days as hormones flatten out.

3/9 – 170.4 – Gotta stay focused. Started an exercise class at the gym to help burn calories.
3/10 - Out of town
3/11 - Out of town
3/12 - Forgot to weigh
3/13 - 170.1
3/14 – 170.0 Really!? What's up with THAT! Ate slightly under in calories yesterday. Did a 45 minute weight workout at the gym last night. I didn't hit my water goal but I did drink water. Why is it not moving?
3/15 - 168.4 That's better. Went to the gym last night and ate within my calories. This is definitely a journey.

Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me.

My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day.

One of the keys to long-term and sustainable weight loss is to cut total calorie intake, and there’s no better way to do that than by eating just a little bit less of what you currently eat. Once you get into a habit of reducing portions—especially of sugary, fatty and other nutrient-poor foods—you can fine tune your diet to incorporate more nutrient-rich foods. But paring portions is still the best first step. — Elisa Zied, MS, RDN, CDN, author of Younger Next Week6 -

@ElizabethAN2017 After hearing and not believing for years that grains and sugar cause inflammation (which causes pain) I started a ketogenic diet last summer which meant giving up those things. Within a couple of weeks my knees quit hurting. Incredible what a small amount of those things can do to us!
@minstrelofsarcasm See you next round. Travel safely!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
3/9 140.5 up and down, up and down. It’s what I do. Would love to reach 139.x and continue DOWN!
3/10 142.0 Lunch At The Winery with friends and I had 1 glass of sweet wine and 1 piece of Bruschetta plus my Cobb salad. My left knee hurts again. This was a valuable “exercise” for me. Learning that that little change kicked me out of nutritional ketosis, I now know that I can’t do this at my HS reunion next month.
3/11 141.5 18 hour unplanned fast yesterday (except for BPC x 2) Maybe I’ll do it today too. I wish I had slept a few more hours!
3/12 141.0 Under on calories and macros. 21 hour fast yesterday - don’t eat if I’m not hungry.
3/13 141.5 Late dinner and I wasn’t hungry but ate anyway. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Dentist at 10am then lunch and a movie with DH.
3/14 140.5 I had a headache when I woke up and still have it. UGH. Leftovers for meals so easy prep day for me.
3/15 141.0 Awake at 4AM and a headache again. Under calories and macros yesterday, UGH UGH UGH!!!

Round 33 Goal = work s.l.o.w.l.y toward new goal weight 127.0
3/9 - 129.0 - yep sick, yesterday did no workout except steps, comfort-ate at work at lunch due to stress but managed to average it out over the day. Days like this happen, and one of the gifts of THIS thread is knowing that if I just deal with it and go on, I AM FINE.
3/10 - 128.8 - feeling a little better, ran a couple miles yesterday but over calories. Have to admit the anxiety and depression is getting ahead on me right now. If it weren't for THIS 10 DAYS THREAD I might have given up and started gaining again. (get to goal, don't feel better emotionally, say eff it, gain. That's the pattern I am breaking.)
3/11 - 128.2 new low - yesterday under calories, did planks, got my steps, and did "A Workout Routine" workout A. Back is sore but that's from the garden work. Feeling more able emotionally. "Bring the body and the mind will follow."
3/12 - 128.2 - yesterday under calories, ran 2.5 miles.
3/13 - 128.8 - yesterday over calories and no workout, but I got 10 hours of sleep which after the previous 3 hours night was badly needed! Not disturbed by bounce.
3/14 - 129.2 - yesterday under calories, "A Workout Routine" B with bands, a short row, and my steps (plus got 10 flights at work). Still completely unfazed by the bounce
3/15 - 128.6 - yesterday emo day, over calories, no workout. Oh, and sick, thought I had dodged that bullet but no.
3/16 - 128.0 - Yesterday just under calories, took it easy and look... a new low... laughing hard.

Doesn't it feel ridiculous @brightresolve when this happens? Sometimes you work your @$$ off, but the scale won't budge, other times it just seems to drop for no reason. The joy is in knowing that it's coming. Stay focused, be good enough most days, and you'll eventually see the scale move.
Nothing feels better than a good, deep laugh ;-)

Day/Weight/Comment
3/9 = 206.6 (-1.0). Good start, but this little whoosh just gets me back to zero. It officially took me 6 days to recover completely from last Saturday's 4.0 lb gain, but it finally happened. This was my normal pattern before this challenge. I need to remember how long it takes me to recover from a bad day, even a bad meal (6 days, apparently). That all being said, I'm energized. My knee feels great this morning without pain killers. I'm going to the gym tomorrow (need to rest one more day after my cortisone injection), and I'll get in my weights and my HIIT. It feels SO GOOD to be back down to zero. I'm going to destroy this weekend. No eating out. Everything planned. I might even cook. No wifey temptations, because she's in SF with her sister and friend.
3/10 = 207.8 (+1.2). LOL. Can't blame my wife for the Na+ bomb(s) I consumed yesterday. Ate within calories, but was 50% over in my salt intake. Another weird thing... it was REALLY HARD to get any water down yesterday. I ended up drinking about 100 ounces, but I had to force it down more or less, and drinking water is usually not a problem for me at all. Good news is there MAY be basketball today that I wasn't expecting (I'll find out in an hour or so). Either way I'm hitting the gym, and I'm going to make it a good day eating. Knee is still feeling good; we'll see how I feel AFTER the gym. Can missing my wife cause me to gain weight?
3/11 = 208.0 (+0.2). Basketball happened. I was more than 1300 calories below maintenance. I drank a crap load of water. The scale doesn't care! It's one weigh-in, and I'm not supposed to let one weigh-in bother me. But IT BOTHERS ME!!! And yet, as I say this, I have to acknowledge that I had 580 calories of junky sweet deliciousness yesterday, and a bunch of damned Na+. Under calories yes, but was it a healthy day? Not really. I really do miss my wife.
3/12 = 207.4 (-0.6). I did well yesterday. I ate within calories, hit my macros, had a ton of water, and was under on sodium. My dinner (that wife pre-bought) was half good, half bad (chicken with rice, but the rice was REALLY salty). For the first time in I don't know how long, I actually chose to throw away my food. I tossed 80% of my rice, and it felt great. My wife is coming home tonight. I missed her a bunch, and I learned that her being gone was not a magic weight loss elixir (which I'm actually happy about). There may be basketball again tonight; if there is I'll hit the gym, if not I'll hit the gym tomorrow.
3/13 = 208.8 (+1.4). My wife is back, and I had a cheat meal with her last night (burger from my favorite place). I was only about 200 calories over maintenance, but it's never simple when it comes to cheat meals. It was amazing, and I'm going to own it. Gym tonight, and I'm going to be do weights and HIIT. Not going to beat myself up. Plus it's only 1.4 lbs (not 4!). I'm okay. Plenty of time to turn this challenge around.
3/14 = 206.0 (-2.8). WHOOSH™. This is what keeps me coming back... knowing that this can happen at any moment, as long as I'm being accountable and generally sticking to my goals. I didn't even make it to the gym last night (raining and I ride a motorcycle). This is a new low for me since coming back to MFP, and I'm NOT going to celebrate in any way! I'll try hitting the gym again tonight (can borrow my wife's car). I also have basketball on Thursday and Saturday, so I should be able to finish off this challenge STRONG!
3/15 = 206.2 (+0.2). I had a high calorie day (200 calories over maintenance, estimated), but I ate SO HEALTHY (except for my dessert, but even that was okay). It was a day that helped me imagine what life could be like when I finally hit my final goal (whatever that might be) and I'm just chilling at maintenance. For dinner I had this fantastic superfood vegetarian salad that I NEVER would have craved before now, but that was my choice last night. I knew it would put me over calories, but that's where I'm recognizing another paradigm shift in me. It's more than okay for me to eat really good (healthy) food whenever it's available, especially if I'm craving it. I thought about not eating dinner last night (I would have been under calories), but I chose my salad instead. It felt so clearly like the right choice. Basketball tonight, and lifting weights.
3/16 = 204.0 (-2.2). WHOOSH™ again! It's the day after lifting weights and basketball, but as I get closer to my goal weight I should eventually stop seeing big numbers like this. I'm not "celebrating," but I'm going to take a moment to enjoy this so I can remember it when I get to my next plateau. I ate well yesterday, drank lots of water, and stayed under calories (didn't eat back most of my exercise calories, either). I had a tiny dessert, which cleared out the cupboard regarding candy/cookies my wife bought me when she went to San Francisco last weekend. We'll see if this number sticks in the morning, and for the weekend. I'm happy to shoot for maintaining my challenge goal (205.0) at this point. Basketball and lifting weights again tomorrow. Going to mix up my leg workout a bit. 9 lbs from "ultimate goal weight" (but we'll see how I feel when I get there... I'm feeling motivated to take this as far as it needs to go).

I was definitely hoping to never see the 240s again, but I’m not surprised. I’ve been traveling for the past week and faltered several times. I’m glad for the fresh start this round!
3/10 - 243.1
Uuuggggggghhhhhh. Trying to stay positive!!

YAAAYY!!!! I’m so excited! Busted through my little plateau and rocking it!
3/15 - 237.4
I had an event last night with a table full of free food and a sheet cake that literally had my name on it, and guess what? I didn’t eat a single thing! I told myself that I was there to meet new people, mingle with acquaintances, and appreciate my friends’ and family’s support— I wasn’t there for the cake, and neither were they! It was a major victory for me. Today is the first day this week that I won’t be completely swamped, so I’m looking forward to catching up and taking care of myself.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/09 / 271.0 / I will be out of town for nearly all of this challenge, and without a scale in the mornings. I will track my weight for a trend line but since I will have already consumed water (and coffee) at a minimum, my weight will not have consistency. I will eat to plan.
3/10 / 270.8 / I decided to just bring my scale. Crazy, I know.
3/11 / 273.2 / I broke my diet, hard. Cheese and crackers with wine. I’m also tired of issues that arise due to dieting and am taking milk of magnesia to combat that, but only for today.
3/12 / 272.2 / Trying to shoe horn my scale into my suitcase. If I can’t, I’ll still work my plan while away.
3/13 / No Scale / Ended up not bringing my scale, but my sister in law just offered hers. YAY. I’ll weigh in tomorrow. I did all my precooked meals and got them into the freezer so I am set to work my plan despite my family’s eating habits.
3/14 / 271.0 / I am happy with the loaner scale. I can watch my trend now.
3/15 / 270.0 / Really watched my salt intake and drank water like it was oxygen. Two days of too much activity to drink a lot of water (including traveling or sitting in an airport for twelve hours).
3/16 / 267.0 / Ok. Do I really believe this? Nope, Nada. Nemaye. This is a borrowed scale. I got on and off 10 times. I expect a big reset when I get home late next week.

3/13 - 178.8. - down 25.0 lbs in 25 weeks - just what I hoped for! Down 2 lbs since 3/4 - a plateau is certainly coming!! If not an uptick lol
#SillyWeightLossPatterns!
3/14 - 178.8 Eating less the last two days & moving/exercising much more. Lots of decaf hot tea makes me feel warmer, and that seems to lead to less eating. Significantly more fish & beans, both of which I thought I’d never eat happily & by choice LOL
3/15 - 178.4
Wow, waist is finally getting smaller! Hopeful.
My Apple Watch is definitely helping me move and exercise more. And I think my huge thermos of piping hot water that I use to refill my mug of decaf tea throughout the day is really helping too. Over 10K steps yesterday + Pilates: FUN!
3/16 - 178.4
11K steps, including a 2.73 mile hike in the hills that I always wanted to be able to do! Even did it in the rain LOL Best news: was totally comfortable during the walk & no sore muscles, leg cramps, etc overnight or this morning!7 -

3/14: 238.8

9: 214... So, so hungry yesterday. Thank you ovulation! Ate at maintenance... Not that it helped me maintain though. Lol
Another hungry day today. I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.
10: 212.7...I expect to keep releasing weight, sometimes the timing surprises me though. I made decent choices yesterday, but also ate back most of my exercise calories. Macros were ok, but not great. Sodium was a bit high, but I got plenty of water in me. Ended with a 254 calorie deficit. Chili cook-off for a school event tonight. I'm prelogging as best as I can, so I can work the calories and macros into my day. I'm wanting to have 1 drink, which might put me over, but I'd rather not feel like I'm depriving myself.
11: 214.2... I'm not surprised by this at all. Over calories yesterday because of the school event last night. 1 glass of wine turned to 3, and I had bread with my chili and cookies from the bake-off for dessert. I hadn't planned for that. I did win the chili cook-off though! Came home and ended up going for a walk in the neighborhood because the air felt really refreshing. It was a good night, and I feel positive and at ease around recovering from a night of relatively minor indulgences.
12: 214.1... I'm certain this would've been a bigger drop, but I ate kind of late last night and went over my calories. Plus, no exercise so I didn't have any leeway. Back to IF schedule today.
13: 211...Wowsa! I didn't expect that overnight! I essential had only one large meal yesterday though, aside from my bulletproof coffee. I didn't plan it that way, I just wasn't really hungry. I still ended up eating almost all of my 1400 calories between the coffee and 1 meal, so I guess my body is just recovering from the last few days.
14: 210.9... I was actually afraid to step on the scale today. After an out of town appointment, my kids and I decided on a whim to go see A Wrinkle in Time. Movies for me mean popcorn, which I usually plan my day around.... But we had Subway first, which lessened my popcorn intake. However, I ended up sharing soda and candy with my kids. I thought I'd be up AT LEAST a pound today, so I'm happy to see that isn't the case. Maybe because I stuck to my IF schedule? I don't know for sure though. I was definitely over my calories significantly.
15: 210... Yesterday was a great day, and it's now official... I'm down 20 pounds since Christmas!
16: 209.8... Managed to have Pizza Hut and still lose. Definitely feeling my energy shifting in a passive direction!

3/11 -176 - Yay! down 1.8 lbs from the last couple days. Hoping it doesn't go back up.
3/12 -177.4 Still staying under my calories and staying under 55 carbs usually even less. avg around 35
3/13 -176.8 a little loss.. I am slowly inching down. Pleased to see this.
3/14 -175.8 Another loss, very excited to see it and staying on track is getting easier. happy dance!
3/15 -177.0 Whaaaat? Where did my loss go? Trusting it to go away and I am still almost 1 lb down from the start of this challenge. Sticking to plan and waiting to see what tomorrow brings. 
3/16 -177.8 Back where I started... bummer. I am staying on plan and even increased my exercise yesterday. I like to think it is water weight... but who knows. Not giving up.

Peaches to Beaches was yesterday, and my friend Sandra came up from my hometown. We spent all day going from one yard sale to another. We did a lot of walking, but we did a lot of eating, too, both sweets, greasy, and salty with little water! Totally enjoyed myself; it was worth every watery pound! , but back on track, today!

Had an doctor's appt. in ATL this morning, so slow on water intake. Got to pick up the pace!

3/12 - 53.6 - Double yay! Daily goal: not bad! Drank about 500 ml of water and some wonderful herbal tea.
3/13 - 53.7 - No yays for me today, though! Daily goal: let's say completed. BUT I felt depressed again and so slightly overate. Ugh, life can be so sad!
3/14 - 53.4 - Well. I woke up late, and I had a stressful morning, and I had been drinking plenty of water recently, so that's not a miracle, but the natural order of things, right? Anyhow, daily goal: completed. And I felt better! Yes, there're some issues concerning writing my thesis (bad things, actually), and minor health problems, and so on, but the day was rather calm and short, and I wasn't—surprisingly—affected very much by the upsetting side of it. And I did not overeat! Victory!

Okie dokie. I am eating better day by day as we get almost settled in, but still a lot of restaurant food, so sodium.
3/10 - 150.2
Sigh. But still eating out (we'll get to the grocery one of these days! House hunting has been all-consuming). I am mostly watching what I order better, but we had Italian last night and I always retain water after to many carbs. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
3/11 - 149.6
That's better. Feeling much more in control.
3/12 - 150.2
Gaaa. I did not overeat yesterday, but I think this is still sodium, and will be for another few days. I'm trying to remain calm about it, and see the past 3 weeks and (probably) the next as a metabolism reset pending eating & exercise getting back to normal. My clothes still fit!
3/13 - 150.4
Right. I've eaten fewer calories the past couple of days and I'm up a little. Delayed reaction? I dunno. Not happy but not panicking yet. Sigh.
3/14 - 151.6
Whaaaaa??? Makes no sense unless very delayed reaction. Oh, well. Today's our 26th wedding anniversary, so I'm eating whatever I want. Then back at it.
3/15 - 150
That's better. And again, delayed, I think, since I ate over cals yesterday and had apple pie a la mode for dinner. I mean, it was Pi Day! If I can drop one more pound by the end of this round, I'll be happy. But even now, I don't feel too bad about the +3.2 lbs in 4 stressful weeks of travel, moving, house hunting, and mostly restaurant food.
3/16 - 150
Day by day I'm eating better. Still spending too much time in the car - house hunting. Gaaaa!

Feeling good, after six rounds stuck right around 156, I am finally seeing some progress. Funny, this week I haven't been able to exercise due to being wiped out from a cold, but it seems to have prompted my body to release some weight, maybe do a little reset.

Totally, completely, and in all other ways undeserved! I straight up binged on stale, packaged sweet rolls yesterday (ugh), hardly had any water, and I haven't exercised in a week because I've been sick. I also had a soda for the first time in many months. It's like bizarro weight loss rules. I'm going to start exercising again today. Only .5 lb to the 50 lb mark!

Hiked yesterday and went to TRX tonight. Good on calories.

Having a pretty good week. Might be up a bit because of sodium yesterday. I had half of a relatively healthy frozen pizza, still a lot of salt.
03/16: 153.0
Ate light yesterday and today.8
