Round 35
3/19 128.4 - 4 weeks until I leave for Cancun!
3/20 128.2 - going back in the right direction, trying to stay positive
3/21 128.2 - surprised with no loss after my diet, water, and increased activity level yesterday (my legs are actually sore) but I know I need to keep being good to my body and show patience...
3/22 127.8 -
almost back to my start from last round!
3/23 126.8 - I think my body is thanking me
3/24 126.8 - Stalling at the lowest I’ve ever been in 5 years (I hit this exact weight once during round 33) I think it might be my body’s new set point? I am just under 10lbs away from entering the bracket of “ideal weight” for my height. I NEED to end this weekend with no gain!
3/25 126.8 - ...what?
3/26 128.4 - Yesterday turned into a cheat day
portions were fine but I stopped tracking calories and snacked all day, water was lower than normal. Hoping strongly for a quick bounce back.
3/27 127 - Tummy is still not happy with me about Sunday, could hardly eat yesterday I’m thinking today might be similar...

3/27 216.2 I was wanting to start this back on the 19th but had surgery scheduled that week. I have had my surgery and am unable to exercise for a few weeks so....I need to be paying extra attention to my food intake. Hopefully daily weigh-ins will help.

I look forward to participating in round 36!6 -
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.
MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145
Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14
My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 - 123.4 Off to a good start, hope I can keep it up.
3/20 - 123.8 No explanation for this, just the whims of life in general I guess
3/21 - 123.1
3/22 - 122.9 I like a downward trend
3/23 - 123.0 Basically no change for last three days, but it's not up, so I'm ok with that.
3/24 - 124.0 What the heck
3/25 - 124.3 It is beyond maddening when you do all the right things and still this happens
3/26 - 124.0
3/27 - 125.1 I just don't get this. So frustrating!
3/288 -
I'm a little frustrated, so yesterday (3/23) I calculated my average calories over the past 3 weeks. The result - 1548 - aligns precisely with my TDEE per the sailrabbit.com calculator, so I believe I am eating at my current TDEE and I am making 1548 my new daily goal. When I try to eat less than that, I wind up really hungry and go over the lower goal, so I am rethinking.
Then I read a slew of articles on BMR, TDEE, calories, healthy weight, and so on. As a result, I've concluded that, although I would like to lose a bit more, I am currently at a healthy weight and I feel good about myself, and I have revised my goals. When warmer weather arrives, I’ll be exercising more, and will no doubt lose a bit if my caloric intake remains steady. Most important is to live a healthy, active, conscious life, and that is my primary goal. No diet, no extremes, just healthful foods. I hope you don't mind my hanging in here as I maintain/lose a little.
Goals:
Weight ~~ maintain or lose slowly.
Food ~~ 1548 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 20-25%, C 35-45%, F 30-45%

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 - 149
Back on track - calories & macros good and I squeezed in a short but fast walk yesterday. I feel better already.
3/20 - 149
Lovely day yesterday, even though I splurged on a donut with my painting group. Today I'm off to train with this girl (she has a number of advanced obedience & other titles, 12 yrs old and still loves to train!). I can't think of a more fun way to get some exercise!
3/21 - 149
I went a little over calories yesterday - not much - but I was hungry and it was Siggi's yogurt. All good. Had lots of fun training with my Labby girl, Lily, and got a lot of other things done as well.
3/22 - 149
I remember hanging out at 149 a while ago. My body clearly thinks it's home. Not yet, baby! I'm going out for lunch with a friend, but I have my order planned, so all should be well.
3/23 - 150.4
Really? This has to be water - I had the best ever reuben for lunch yesterday (well, half - the other half is waiting for me in the fridge), but stayed within bounds (actually low) on total calories for the day. I didn't get enough water - running around all afternoon & evening - so hopefully this too shall pass. Sigh.
3/24 - 150.2
See revised intro - new goals, new attitude.
3/25 - 148.8
Of course! (See intro above.)
3/26 - 149.2
It's supposed to warm up a bit today so I'm hoping for a nice walk. Yesterday's wind was wicked.
3/27 - 148.8
Go figure - I'm eating more the past few days. All good!

Still in Virginia with my son who is still in the hospital! I've been eating things I shouldn't eat, like: cookies, cherry danish, hiwiaan sweet rolls, garlic toast, etc. etc.. But today I'm taking charge of my eating once again! One good thing is that I have been taking every opportunity to get my steps in; averaging over 5000 steps per day!

Round 35
Goal for next few rounds: MAINTAIN weight
3/19 - 128.6 - yesterday around maintenance calories, a few K extra low-impact steps, still not feeling great.
3/20 - 130.2 - yesterday over calories. Short walk at lunch. I have been over eating my goal for days now, emo over long term and seemingly unresolvable issues, and having a hard time pushing myself to work out. Have a social thing this evening, so struggling to balance it all when I just am not feeling it.
3/21 - 129.4 - yesterday just at calories for .5lb/wk loss, 20 minutes on the rower.
3/22 - 129.0 - yesterday under calories, lots of steps and a 2.5 mile run, first in a couple of weeks.
3/23 - 128.4 - yesterday under calories, 10K steps and some floors. Slowly easing back down from my over the weekend bump, in time for ... another weekend ...
3/24 - 129.2 - yesterday over calories, 10K steps and 20 floors though.
MAINTENANCE
3/25 - 128.6 - yesterday under calories, accidentally skipped a meal.
3/26 - 128.8 - yesterday at maintenance calories, very active around household getting ready for company, no workout.
3/27 - 127.6 - yesterday ate at maintenance, lots of steps in walking and housework that I did not eat back the calories for, just got busy with company. Magically here is my second goal, 127 (plus .6 of jammies, lol) which also constitutes 20 pounds of weight lost. So, very happy with the journey.

@GrandmaJackie Thank you for setting up the next round! Enjoy your days away!
@mamabear10717 Don’t give up. Not sure what plan you are following but perhaps a different plan would work better.
@GW4321 I just saw an interesting graphic on one of my FB groups. Fluctuations are here to stay.

@mamabear10717 Perhaps you should drink more water. 1.5 liters isn’t much.3

Back from Vacation and I think I am up 11 lbs. It should be a lot of water weight and if I get back on track I should be close to where I was in a 2 weeks or so. SO is still home so the first few days will go slow. Back at work with my packed lunch going in the correct direction.
Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 - 161.2 ... Ready to see those 5's again.
3/20 - 158.4 ... 14,940 steps and 1262 calories. Cutting calories for a few days. Happy to see a 5 again. SO might be working in town for the next month BUT will be harder to hold my calories and get my steps in.
3/21 - 156.6 ... 16,245 steps and 1280 calories.
3/22 - 155.7 ... 16,854 steps and 1382 calories. Nice after dinner walk.
3/23 - 155.4 ... 22,365 steps and 1861 calories. Walked home from work last night and did an after dinner walk. Also had part of a Starbucks Crystal Ball Frap, meh. A few chocolate Easter treats hanging around too. Said to SO if you're buying those we are walking the hills!!!
3/24 - 157.3

Round 8 for me (6 full rounds plus 3 days), and I'm getting smarter every day. I'm also kinder to myself, more reasonable, more forgiving, and just generally better. I think I'm going to track my calories forever, and I'm okay with that. I'm also going to continue to post here forever, too. Maybe I'll move to a maintenance thread, I guess, but I hope you get the picture. This group has been life-changing for me.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/19 = 205.2 (-1.4). BOUNCE BACK™. I'm going to differentiate this loss with everyone's favorite rainbow unicorn, the WHOOSH™. I had a big gain on the last day of round 34 (2.2 lbs), and this is my body beginning to recover from that. I ate well yesterday, was under calories, drank plenty of water, and under on sodium. I have basketball tonight, which means a trip to the gym as well. Good start to this challenge!
3/20 = 204.6 (-0.6). Another BOUNCE BACK™. Good day at basketball yesterday, ate well, drank enough water, good on sodium. The sins of Sunday have been erased; it only took two days this time. I can pretty much predict my weight trend every night at this point based on my behavior during the day (thanks mostly to for tracking). I know a bunch of you have probably reached that point, but it's still pretty cool. Missed the gym last night, so I'll be lifting weights and doing HIIT tonight.
3/21 = 204.8 (+0.2). I felt a little out of control yesterday. Snacks were flying my way (some of them guided by my hand), and my wife bought me dinner (really hard to track), but I think I did okay. I was probably over a lot in salt, though (teriyaki is the devil). My wife was home early, so the gym didn't happen, either. The next stage in my development is motivating myself to get to the gym on non-basketball days (this upcoming Monday, for example). It's easy on basketball days, but mostly "miss" when basketball doesn't happen. I'm thinking of trying SL 5×5, but I need to make sure my knees can handle all the exercises before I get too excited.
3/22 = 203.8 (-1.0). And that's a WHOOSH™. Inching ever closer to onederland, I'm at an all-time low (since restarting MFP). Met all my eating goals yesterday, and snacked on fruit instead of crap last night. It's raining all day today, but it's basketball tonight. I will not miss it, nor will I miss lifting weights with my wife. Motorcycle life!
3/23 = 202.0 (-1.8). I had a really good night at basketball. It's relatively normal for me to have a good drop when I play. I ate within calories (didn't eat any of my 1250 exercise calories back), was over on sodium, and was a little light on water, at least for a basketball night. I have a really nice dinner out tonight; going to try to keep portions under control. I'm also trying not to get too excited, but ONEDERLAND is within reach. It will be my goal for next challenge.
3/24 = 204.8 (+2.8). Before I understood my pattern this would have been incredibly upsetting. It was a cheat meal. I did the best I could with it, and at least it wasn't 4.0 lbs (which had happened before!!!). It was tasty, salty, and fantastic, and I have only minor regrets (as I avoid these situations as much as possible). Basketball and the gym are happening this morning, and I have 4 days to work this off. Even if this challenge ended today I would be 1.8 lbs down, which is pretty great. I'm hopeful. Taking 80 ounces of water to basketball today.
3/25 = 204.8 (+/-0.0). Played basketball, ate back a little less than half my exercise calories. Went over my salt intake with dinner again (pizza, kale salad). I'm hoping to get back on track after the cheat meal two days ago, and that today's weigh-in (no drop after basketball) is an additional consequence. My brother-in-law (personal trainer) is going to teach me tonight proper form on the exercises I need to do SL 5×5. I'll be starting it this week while basketball is off for spring break.
3/26 = 204.4 (-0.4). My brother-in-law (not the personal trainer) asked my wife and I to be godparents for my newborn nephew last night, so i had a little unexpected celebration. I was below maintenance, but did not eat super healthy (high on sodium, again). I also forgot to fill my water bottle and take it with me at the beginning of the day, which made it really hard to keep up with my normal water intake. My brother-in-law the personal trainer flaked out on me regarding the heavy lifting help. I may hire a personal trainer short-term to make sure I'm doing things right. I may also just get started and hope for the best. We'll see. Tough weekend eating-wise.
3/27 = 202.8 (-1.6). BOUNCE BACK™. I'm almost back down to my pre-weekend weight, which feels really good to me. I'm also on-track to get myself into position where ONEDERLAND is a realistic (if slightly difficult) challenge goal for Round 36. I ate REALLY healthy yesterday; it feels like these really good drops often follow those types of days (something else to pay attention to). No basketball for me until next Thursday, so I'm going to get started with my "new thing" tonight - SL 5x5. I'm a little concerned about not having the proper form on a couple of my exercises (particularly because of my knee issues), but I'm going to give it a go anyway. I've literally never tried a squat or a deadlift, so I'll just focus on form (and check out a couple of YouTube videos or something).

@Amjcance Yes, finding the tipping point between enough and not enough/too much is a key factor no matter what plan you are following.
@31flavors Trust the process! I bounced around the 140’s for FOUR MONTHS before breaking through on the last day of last round! Hang in there!
@puddlegoober Definitely get a trainer! You can really hurt yourself with improper form!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
So far this has been ALL KETO - NO EXERCISE! I’m within a few pounds of my goal!
3/19 139.5 I’m in shock! 2 days below 140. Now to continue the trend! I leave for my 50 year high school reunion one month from today!
3/20 139.5 This is REAL!!! I am thrilled! 2.5# to my WW goal from 10 years ago.
3/21 140.0 Ate lots of salt! This is my crazy day of the month. Art Quilt group and community bingo dinner. No time to read everything but will try later. Love you all!
3/22 139.5 Bingo dinner last night was pizza and potato chips! No salad. WTH?? I ate the pepperoni and cheese from two slices and when I got home had broccoli and shrimp cocktail. After my dentist appointment I stopped and got Jimmy John’s Unwich for lunch. It was pretty good until I realized I was trying to eat my still numb lip!
3/23 139.5 My lip is not as bad as I thought it would be so color me happy! No food plans for today. Grandson is in Robotics competition at UNLV so will be over there this afternoon and probably tomorrow.
3/24 139.5 Didn’t make it to robotics yesterday but did today. Quite interesting!
3/25 139.0
3/26 139.0 Changed my macros and lowered my calories starting today. Yesterday while eating at El Pollo Loco, my husband said he was thinking about making more changes in his eating habits. Maybe watching me “suffer” (NOT) through Keto has swayed him! Perhaps it is the brain health benefits I have mentioned.

3/25 - came back from office trip for a week. Tried to moderate but lost control and ate junk. should have done better, need to find natural appetite. 126.8??
3/26 - 125.8, did much better, ate within allowed limits, walked 60 minutes, slow pace. plan the meals early for tomorrow. **What worked - I get hungry when I get home and start eating junk before I prep dinner and feed kids. Instead half the dinner was ready and I ate first. Did not feel the urge to eat junk after
3/27 - 125.8

@quiltingjaine - My darn little brother-in-law is a personal trainer, but he flaked on me on Sunday. I "know" proper form because he showed me (and I've seen it), I've just never done it before myself. I would go super light weight if I did it.
That so being said, I'm really impatient sometimes with stuff like this. I'll hold off until I'm able to get some supervised practice. Thanks for looking out!3 -

Ultimate Goal: 175 lbs, reevaluate at that point
March:
19: 214.2... I will not beat myself up about this. Instead, I'm looking at this as feedback about what currently isn't working. Hormones play a part in this journey in multiple ways, and cravings are a LOT more difficult to reign in the day or 2 leading up to TOM. So, I've been considering what I can do to adjust my regular eating style to allow for my regularly scheduled hormonal fluctuations during this time of month (and ovulation time). Eating at maintenance and cutting out IF for a couple of days is my new game plan. My goal is to prevent the munchie monster from going overboard, which is what happened last night. If I allow myself a bit of leeway, then I feel like I'll be less tempted to overdo it. Once TOM starts, I feel better going back to IF and calorie deficits.
20: 214.2...I prelogged most of my food today, so I'll know where I have wiggle room for PMS cravings.
21: 214.1
22: 211.3... Yesterday was the first day I ate below maintenance. I was still significantly over my goal calories though. Even though I recognize how my weight is affected by my cycle, it still blows my mind to drop about 3 pounds overnight when my food and exercise would not suggest that shift. Back to IF today.
23: 209.8!
24: ???
25: 212.1
26: 210.1... Had a few unusual days with food over the weekend. I like this number a lot better than yesterday's!
27: 209.2... Had a great day yesterday. Still working on getting out for my 4 mile walks again.

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.6
