Day/Weight/Comment

3/29 (Thursday) - 213 - Hopeful for 210 at the end of 10 days
3/30 (Friday) - 213 - I stepped on the scale this morning and all all sorts of #'s flashed by, from 211 point something to 212 to 213. Smh
3/31 (Saturday) - 213 - I consumed a couple of very carby foods for Passover, so my weight is a surprise to me. The "wine", juice for me, has 37 carbs per 8 ozs, I drank 3 ozs. The matzo has 25 net carbs per serving, which is my limit on keto.
4/1 (Sunday) - 214.2 - Lol. Not a good sign. Now not so hopeful for 210 by the end of the challenge. Tough week ahead, carb wise. Feast of Unleavened Bread ends Saturday evening.
4/2 (Monday) - 213.4 
4/3 (Tuesday) - 211.4 
 YAAASS Hunty, LOL

4/4 (Wednesday) - 212.4 (210 where are you? Lol) Mmm, I guess the rule of the game this week is, you can not skip 1 pound on the way to your goal. You skip, you lose your turn and go back a pound.

Round GW: 145

3/29 - 150.8
3/30 - 152.8 | I am THE worst. More water weight, but getting a handle on this today and changing my GW.
3/31 - 149.4 | Water weight is dropping, but I am still almost 5 pounds heavier than when I signed up for this challenge. I’m hoping to get back there and manage a 0.6-lb loss for the challenge. We shall see!
4/1 - 148.8 | Keeping hope alive!
4/2 - NWI
4/3 - NWI
4/4 - 148.2 | Goal is definitely looking impossible now, but I am going to keep using it for motivation!

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

3/29 – 64.8kgs. Almost close GW! Wow so I was definitely still bloated. Aiming to get to GW soon, then I can work on a new GW of 64kgs. Fingers crossed

3/30 – 64.8kgs.

3/31 – 64.9kgs

4/1 – Didn’t weigh myself as no scales were available.

4/2 – 64.7kgs

4/3 – 64kgs. Yes! Met goal. New goal: 63.5kgs

4/4 – 64.3kgs. Today I’ve set myself a goal not to have refined carbs. See how we go!

4/5 – 64.8kgs. Unsure why I’m gaining? I ate really well yesterday. No refined carbs. Had beans, beef, veggies mainly. Maybe sodium from mums food? I also had baked beans for breakfast…would that cause a bloat? Because I definitely saw that I was bloated this morning. Either way, I will continue what I’m doing. No refined carbs today also.

It is likely the beans as they cause the creation of more gas. And beans are also a carbohydrate, not refined though.

Starting Weight (2015): 333
Rd 36 SW: 223

Day/Weight/Comment
3/29: 223lbs. Ate 2300 calories. I walked 11000 steps and had a 70 minute workout. Hopefully the workout and steps were enough to put me in a significant deficit for the day.

3/30: 223lbs. 2350 calories. Walked 12000 steps and lifted weights for 50 minutes.

3/31: 223lbs

4/1: No data. Stomach Bug,

4/2: Stomach bug.

4/3: 219lbs. Most of that loss is water weight from being somewhat dehydrated, so I’ll probably gain a pound or two over the next couple of days. I probably lost some fat too because I basically ate nothing for two days and my appetite is only slowly coming back today.

4/4: 219lbs.

03/26/2018 : SW: 125.8 CW: 124.0 GW: 115

Goals for this round: Get to 122.5
1. eat within calorie limits
2. no mindless/unhealthy snacking, limit eating out/takeaway
3. stay AF through 6/7 days,
4. 8000-10,000steps 6/7 days
5. 8-10 cups of H20

Day/Weight/Comment

3/29 - 124.0 lbs(Starting no. looked doubtful, having dropped suddenly from 125.8 after MFP for last 3-4 days). Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.
3/30 - 124.0 lbs Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.
3/31 - 122.4 lbs (?) Ate in calorie limits; was sucked into a bit of mindless snacking took a few bites but otherwise stayed away; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day. The number on the scale looked doubtful. Was back to 124 midday, so may be a fluke. Remember to eat meals on time to avoid snacking.
4/1 - 123.5lbs Ate in calorie limits; snacked but accounted, need to plan and control better; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.
4/2 - 123.2 lbs Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking ; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day. Last 2 days feel like I am constantly eating, adjust meals to give myself break between meals.
4/3 - 123.2 lbs Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking ; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day. Adjusted meals, much better, but got busy in meetings and crammed food, drink, walk at end of the day. Go everywhere with water bottle, prioritize timely eating and breaks. 4 days to go. Lets do it!
4/4 - 123.0 lbs Ate in calorie limits; some unplanned snacking but accounted for it; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.

04/02: 150.0
No explanation for a loss, I was an eating machine last week. I did pretty well today, though: calories, water, exercise all on point.
04/03: 149.5
Another new low and I'm really stoked about this! I haven't seen the 140s since my early teens, as far as I can remember. Today started with lots of exercise and water, um, then turned into a huge buffet dinner. Might have done a few days' worth of damage. I have my meal plan all set for the rest of the week though.

04/04: 150.5
Did fine on calories and water today. I tried a new exercise class, kettlebell, supposed to be good for strength and cardio.

4/04-173- I thought as much, tricky, I’ll have to use the other scales tomorrow.
4/05-171.9-The same different scales. The scales offered me everything from 160 to 174.I chose the weight that came up most and was more likely. Home now so will be more accurate tomorrow morning.

3/31 - 209.8 (woohoo). But I think weighing in a little later on weekends affects the weigh in. Saturday’s has always been my lowest day on scale. We see if I can keep it this time!
4/1 - 210.4. No surprise up a little. Ate out and went over a little on calories. Might see another jump tomorrow from it but that is okay. Sodium.
4/2 - 212.8 Expected. Ate too much yesterday. Feeling bloated and yucky today.

So lovely ladies I have missed the support of this group! So I have decided that I will have to suck it up, weigh daily, and psychologically learn to live with the natural fluctuations I see in my weight on the scale. The love and support I find in this group is worth this and more!

04/04 221.6 Lowest weight for some time.

04/05 222.4 I ate salty Bubbies pickles late in the evening last night and my weight shows that water gain.

3/29 273.5 I like the start so far just a rest day so no lifting going to do some light steady state cardio rehab shoulder work feel like a dope lifting 5lb kettlebell and struggling but gotta do it
3/30 274.8 A little surprising but was a tad sick with upset stomach so guessing my body sucked in some water as was under calorie and did a light cardio for my off day at gym
3/31 272.8 Nice Woosh surprising went to opening day and ate ok but not my normal range of foods and not "clean" as normal so maybe I can lose weight and still enjoy everything in moderation
4/1 272.5 It wasn't a dream got good walk in yesterday and hopefully today goes the same
4/2 274.0 Damn easter bunny
4/3 273.5 Back on track stated new job and hurt my back yesterday so taking off today from the gym so need to watch calories close today
4/4 273.1 Still going down back still sore so no gym again today walking even is painfull
4/5 270.5 Guess the gym is overated had to weigh myself 4 times today I didn't believe it was actually over about 100 calories yesterday too taking another day off gym back still sore but starting to feel better

Nothing works unless you have a sustained calorie deficit over time. Anything will work if you have a sustained calorie deficit over time.

Motivation is overrated. What you need is education, willingness to eat less, a good plan, and discipline to stick to it.

According to Big Fat Myths: When You Lose Weight, Where Does the Fat Go? which is an interesting perspective on "diet" 148oz / 9.25 lbs of food/water/oxygen a day but depending on how efficient everything processes we don't operate on a perfect 24 hour cycle to use all that so you get those fluctuations. I think that is semi comforting to keep in mind we are not robots and CICO doesn't operate at perfect 24 hour scale either.

Goal for this round: 155ish. This will most likely be a maintenance round for me if I’m lucky. I had a big loss last round and that is usually followed by a stagnant period. I’m ok with that; my body and I are figuring each other out! I also am in the middle of a kitchen make-over, so…I’m eating out almost every meal. I’ll be happy to mostly maintain until I can cook again.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/29 = 156.4
3/30 = 156.6
3/31 = 155.8 Got the bounce to reverse, so that’s good. Also I have a good grill now that hubby and I can cook on while the kitchen is still without appliances. Won’t have to eat out quite as often, although cleaning up after cooking, with no sink, will be fun.
4/1 = 155.4 Was SO good to cook at home last night! Easter buffet today though so calories will probably be over today. Hoping for some exercise in the afternoon though to help offset.
4/2 = 157.4. Easter cost me two pounds, but hopefully only for a little while. I can get this back down in a few days, I think.
4/3 = 157.2
4/4 = 155.8 Headed back down now. YAY! Had a long, fast walk in the evening, almost dancing to music in 76 degree warmth. Spring may finally be here.

3/30 - 195lbs - surprising after eating 800 calories worth of turkey burgers last night.
3/31 - 196 - up 1 pound -oh well I was just following doctors orders to eat less greens. maybe 20oz ground beef patty was a little overkill. but so yummy. I do love meat.
4/1 - 195lbs - my children nicknamed me the cause of obesity and with everything on the menu today I believe they speak the truth.
4/2 199lbs - ba ha ha ha- I guess 4853 calories is a lot. at least my sugar was under 20.
4/3 198lbs - bad lunch. okay dinner and now the weekend bottle is gone. maybe I can make a little progress before another weekend,
4/4 198lbs - really beating myself up over a few pounds. after eating a pound of leftover Easter lamb I vowed not to eat again last night. only had one beer. logged in at calorie goal. didn't sleep well. the fresh snow is beautiful and my coffee is delicious.

4/5 195lbs – 300 calories under food goal. Vowed no drinking whiskey unless I did cardio. First time on the bike in weeks. Spent an hour sweating my @#% off just for a few drinks. I sure did sleep good.

form DebCountsAll I'm really behind on reading other people's post, but this line made me laugh out loud. Thank you, I sorely needed that laugh.

8 years as a cook, raised 3 kids, I do all the family cooking and I don't serve it if I don't like it, this new diet of mine is not utilizing my skills in the kitchen. I am praying for you and your family.
