day/Weight/Comment
4/8 139.7 I'm super happy I finally broke 140 this morning. I'm enjoying my fasting routine but slipped up with self control a couple of days last week. Today I get to eat from 10 am to 8 pm. Then I'll start another fasting phase. I'm starting to see some weight loss changes in my body.
4/9 141.9 I ate a lot of carbs yesterday so I'm not surprised to see this gain. Have to be better about watching what I eat today. I can only have lunch and dinner today. Lunch is 450 cal so I can have somewhat of a decent dinner later and still be under my calorie limit today.
4/10 141.5 I'm down a little but still not happy about my weight this week.
4/11 141.2 I'm steadily lossing a little. I'm craving sweets bad recently.
4/12 141.4 back up a little today. We ended up having dinner at a friend's so I think I over ate just a bit. I need to figure something out so I can loss the weight I need before the wedding.
4/13 139.6
I don't know why I dropped almost 2 pounds in a day but I'm so happy I did. I'm hoping I'll stay out of the 140's for good now.
4/14 139.3 I'm glad to see I'm getting closer to my goal.
4/15 140.0 I over ate at my uncle's b day party so I'm not surprised to see this.
4/16 140.3 I am bloated today thanks mother nature. I went on a 4 mile run/walk yesterday and it felt great. Maybe I'll start running consistently again.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/8 148.4 This is my plateau. This is where I sabotage myself and gain it all back. I'm pushing through it this time. FTDI day 6.
4/9: 148.8 I was under my calorie goals but rested. I'm on heavy duty medication due to rotator cuff tendinitis. I think I'll save the muscle relaxers for night time so that I can do cardio during the day.
4/10: 147.8 Yaya! I'm finding that by drinking 64 oz. really makes a difference! Got my cardio in yesterday.
4/11: 147.0
4/12: 147.0
4/13: 145.8 What happened to 146?
4/14: 144.8 I'm not sure I understand these big drops. I see my personal trainer today. Let's see what she says.

Round 2!
Round 36 - SW 167 EW 168

CSW - 168.2
CEW - 165
UGW - 130
Day/Weight/Comment
4/8 - 168.2 - Had a girls night last night and while it was extremely fun, I took in a lot of calories through mixed drinks. I kept my dinner healthy but expecting an increase in tomorrows weigh in. Would love to make my goal for this round as I didn't last round so lots of water starting today, health food chooses and lots of gym time.
4/9 - 170.0 - There's the increase I was expecting to see. Woke up with migraine this morning, hoping it'll be gone by this afternoon so I can hit the gym after work. Feel like I've been stuck around this 167-170 weight forever and starting to feel discouraged but I won't give up, just got to keep myself motivated.
4/10 - 170.0 - Still have the migraine and not feeling well this morning. Wasn't expecting for a good weigh in this morning but the scale not going up is a win in my book. Wish I could get down to the weight I started round 36 at and never see 170 again. Will work out after work today and hopefully see a good weigh in tomorrow. Healthy packed lunch, lots of water, gym and healthy home cooked meal for dinner tonight is the plan.
4/11 - 169.0 - Glad to see the scale going in the right direction. Had a very busy day yesterday but was able to still eat healthy and fit in some time at the gym. Work hours are changing for today because of some meetings so will need to figure out when I can fit in some exercise today so I can keep on track for the next few days and make my goal for this round.
4/12 - 169.0 - Happy with this weigh in, I wasn't able to work out as much as I would have liked yesterday so I'm relieved to not see 170 again. Back to a normal schedule today so fingers crossed I'll see 168 tomorrow.
4/13 - 167.2 - whooo-hooo!!! Hopefully this weight stays. Weighed myself 3 times just to make sure it was right. Wasn't expecting such a big drop today so even if I go up a little tomorrow I'll still be happy. Excited to see this number though and it's much needed motivation to not sabotage it by just eating whatever and not exercising this weekend. Didn't think I'd make my goal this round but seeing this number today makes me think that if I just continue with the hard work I've put in so far I'll be able to do it.
4/14 - 167.2 - Glad to see this number again. Usually when I get excited about a loss, I'm right back up the next morning. This actually makes me believe I might not ever see 170 again and that's very rewarding. Yesterday's loss and trying on some of my summer shorts (from just last summer and they were almost too tight! Yikes!) REALLY helped me control what I ate and drank last night. Didn't really think I gained that much from last summer to this summer but I'll just turn the upset into motivation and hopefully instead of buying bigger shorts that fit this summer I'll be buying smaller ones.
4/15 - 169.2 - Ended up going out last minute for pizza with some friends after I already ate some chips and dip because I was figuring on a healthy dinner so I know where this weight came from this morning and I'll be careful with what I eat today and while Sunday is usually a rest day for me, I think I'll take a walk if the rain stops or do some jump roping to help get rid of this gain as fast as possible. I'm way too close to 170 again and I'm trying to never see that number on the scale again. Lots of water and fruits for me today, hoping to see a better weigh in tomorrow.
4/16 - 167.4 - I have a hard time believing this number, I was under calories yesterday but I really didn't do much exercising and I didn't drink much water so I feel it's an undeserved drop and I'll just be right back up tomorrow. I have a hard time planning out breakfasts and lunches on the weekends for some reason, I'm good about packing a healthy lunch through the week when I'm busy but on weekends I tend to just grab whatever's there and easiest or eat whatever I'm making for the kids and it's not always the healthiest. I need to figure out a way to keep myself on track with my food on the weekends and I feel like my weight wouldn't yo-yo so much if I did. Curious as to what my weight will be tomorrow.

This is Round 10 for me. I had a rough end of Round 9, but there are things to look forward to. I'm officially going to start a keto WOE on Monday, 4/16, and I'm going to work on cutting down my carbs significantly before then (to get myself in the mood).
Age: 46
Height 5’11”
Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs
Recent SW: 220.0 lbs (1/14/18)
Ultimate GW: 195.0 lbs (and then reevaluate)
R28 SW = 220.0 EW = 219.8 (-0.2) AW = 220.2 (+0.2)
R29 SW = 219.8 EW = 214.0 (-5.8) AW = 215.9 (-4.3)
R30 SW = 214.0 EW = 214.0 (-0.0) AW = 214.1 (-1.8)
R31 SW = 214.0 EW = 209.2 (-4.8) AW = 211.3 (-2.8)
R32 SW = 209.2 EW = 209.6 (+0.4) AW = 208.9 (-2.4)
R33 SW = 209.6 EW = 207.4 (-2.2) AW = 208.2 (-0.7)
R34 SW = 207.4 EW = 206.6 (-0.8) AW = 206.6 (-1.6)
R35 SW = 206.6 EW = 204.2 (-2.4) AW = 204.1 (-2.5)
R36 SW = 204.1 EW = 207.4 (+3.3) AW = 203.9 (-0.2)
Total loss (since 1/14/18, but before this round): 12.6 lbs
Average weight loss per round: 1.52 lbs
R37 SW = 207.4
Goal for this round: 202.0
Day/Weight/Comment
4/8 = 207.0 (-0.4). Played basketball yesterday, but had parents over and took them out to dinner to my favorite Mexican place. At least weight is heading in the proper direction.
4/9 = 205.4 (-1.6). BOUNCE BACK™. I had a good day eating yesterday, topped off by my favorite salad from a relatively healthy restaurant. Went grocery shopping for the week and tried to look around for some easy ready-made stuff that will work in a pinch when I start keto next week, and was able to find a couple of things (which was nice). My wife and I started our SL 5x5 last night, and I only wanted to spank her once or twice as she argued with me regarding a program I have done extensive research on (and that she knows NOTHING about). We got through it. I'm really happy to see my weight headed back down relatively quickly. As much as I know big spikes in weight are very temporary (as long as I'm being accountable and generally staying the course), it still sometimes feels traumatizing to see them. I'm going to begin to cut down on my carbs and stay away from all sweets this week (except my birthday on Saturday) in preparation for my new lifestyle.
4/10 = 204.2 (-1.2). Another BOUNCE BACK™. After freaking out 3 days ago (gaining 5 lbs in 2 days), it's nice to have again the experience of noticing things going back to normal as the days pass. Just about down to my SW from last round, and I couldn't ask for anything more at this point. I ate pretty well yesterday (slightly under maintenance), but I had a sugar binge (500 calories or so). I'm officially throwing out my remaining candy when I get home tonight. It's the Devil. I'll have a bit of my birthday cake on Saturday, but that's it for sweets for the foreseeable future. I need to figure out some Keto stuff on the subject of sweets (whether to subtract from total carbs fiber and sugar alcohols), but I think I'm generally just going to avoid them at this point, unless I learn something amazing. I need to get my taxes done, and I have some things from work that I need to accomplish at home, so I'm going to focus on that for the next couple of days (at the expense of exercise). I'll get back to the exercise on Thursday (SL 5x5 and my normal basketball night).
4/11 = 202.6 (-1.6). ANOTHER BOUNCE BACK™! This is just getting silly now, but I love it. And if I'm being honest and objective about this, what's happening right now fits a clear pattern that's been well-established by me and others here. For me - one bad meal takes 4-5 days to recover from. 4 days later, I'm just about recovered. Yesterday was great eating-wise. I was under calories, and no sugar binge. Taxes just about done. Basketball tomorrow, plus day 2 of SL 5x5. I miss exercise.
4/12 = 203.4 (+0.8). This feels likely a normal fluctuation, even if it's on the slightly extreme side. I was under maintenance yesterday, though salt intake was a little high. I have basketball and SL 5x5 tonight, and I'm going to make this a GREAT eating day. All the candy in my home had been eliminated (by my mouth). Still trying to cut down on carbs in preparation for my new Keto lifestyle (starting Monday).
4/13 = 201 (-2.4). WHOOSH™. The circle is complete. I'm a pound lower than I've been since I joined this group. This happens, of course, on the day before my birthday. I'm going to try my best to keep it under control tomorrow. ONEDERLAND is so close I can taste it. Food was great yesterday. Basketball was amazing, too. Drank 21.5 cups of water. No complaints today!
4/14 = 202.2 (+1.2). 46 today. Going to try my best to plan things out. There's dinner (burger) and cake tonight. A couple of beers later when I go bowling. I'm going to enjoy myself, but I'm trying not to have "a weekend" that I have to spend all week coming back from. Had a screwy lunch yesterday that threw things off for me food-wise, but I was around maintenance calories. I think my extreme WHOOSH™ from yesterday may not have been completely accurate, and that this is just a correction. My goal for the next 3 days is to maintain this weight. Basketball on Monday will help.
4/15 = 204.0 (+1.8). This actually wasn't bad for my birthday last night. I moderated as much as I could: amazing dinner, delicious cake, and a couple of beers when I went bowling. Keto starts tomorrow morning. Got my blood work done yesterday morning in order to set a baseline for my conversation with my doctor (about Keto). My weekend is over today (eating should be good). SL 5x5 tonight with my wife, basketball tomorrow. I think I'll have one last beer tonight.
4/16 = 203.4 (-0.6). This is my first day of Keto! Gaining only 2.4 lbs over this weekend was a victory. My wife surprised me with dinner last night that was not on my plan (cochinita pibil, for those of you who know Yucatecan food) from an amazing restaurant that she found. I'm not as prepared for Keto as I'd like to be (food-wise), but I'm diving in head-first. My wife is going to grocery shop for me tonight (I'll get her a list). SL 5x5 and basketball tonight.

There will always be another birthday, wedding, baby, or holiday to celebrate with the opportunity to over consume. The decision is yours and not the fault of the occasion or circumstance. Make YOUR choice and decide what is important for YOU, don’t use the occasion as an excuse.

So happy hit 8,087 steps. Due to surgery it is tough. As soon as I eat I wear it around my waist.
4/9 - I was so happy the scale went the other way. Going to take it easy today. Today is my grand-daughter birthday so I want to keep the swelling down. I only sleep on the average 3 hours.
4/10-Everyday I feel stronger and stronger. The swelling goes from my head to the bottom of my neck. I went shopping today that felt good. Walking steps -8,000 I have to be very careful wth eating, trying to eat healthy!
4/11 -glad my weight is not going higher I have one more week of taking steroids. Today I could not get outside because it as cold and raining. I have been drinking at least 15 glasses of water (only). Eating healthy but I need crackers in between.
I am so thankful I am part of this group.
4/12 Today has been 3 weeks since my surgery. I feel so great, and lucky. Eating is hard, I want bread and crackers. Not much sleep at night 2- 4 hours.
4/13 - I was busy today, made a vegetable soup, cut vegetables @ fruit to have ready. My weight is going up and down because of steroids plus from the forehead down to the bottom of my neck is all swollen I can hardly wait to stop them on Wednesday. They call for a big ice storm this weekend which will make it hard to go outside.
4/14- I did not get much sleep last night. Just took it easy. Eating good, its funny since my operation I crave broccoli, my smell is different and taste.
4/15- Stretching, and I did a half hour on the treadmill. (walking only). It was a hard weekend second day of ice- storm. I miss going outdoors. Eating is still not that great, but trying to log my food and no where I'm at. Back on track - maybe Thursday.
* Have a great week!
4/16- Drinking lots of water, but I can tell my weigh is to high I crave food, two more days of steroids, I slept, I was lucky to get 4 hours in. I am doing amazing. My head where the incision is almost gone, it is almost healed and you would not even know I had Brain surgery except for facial swelling still. We had three days of a ice storm so I could not even go out on the weekend. I can hardly wait to get out walking again. Next round back to normal,
I'm fighting hard!7 -
4/12 200 lbs.
4/11 200.5 lbsJust now joining
4/10 200lbs
Busy day at work. 11419 steps. We had Arby's for dinner because of a school event, so my calorie intake was about double what I'd like, but according to my fitness tracker I'm (theoretically) still in caloric deficit.
We'll see how the scale continues to react this week.
Another busy day. 10292 steps. I had vegetables and shrimp for lunch, so not bad, but I did snack a bit too much after work. (Chocolate bunny) Better than yesterday though.
10986 steps.
Warning- this is depressing. Death mention
Finally admitted to myself that I'm Grief eating. It's mostly unconscious, and I've been keeping myself distracted and busy, but I was at the visitation for my uncle today and I realized what was happening with my eating habits. My Grandpa passed away in Feb right after I decided to get in shape and it took me two weeks to get back on track with my search for a gym membership.
Anyway. My uncle's funeral is tomorrow. I kinda wish I was the type who ate less when stressed/depressed.
4/15 200lbs
Funeral was Friday. I worked a split shift to keep myself busy, and because it would be impossible to get all of Saturdays desserts ready if I didn't work. Saturday was really really busy I made 956 salads and 312 desserts before collapsing after work. I intended to go out after recovering but freak snow storm instead.
Today I'm laying in bed eating easter candy. I want to go shopping. Or to the zoo or swimming, or anywhere else but here. It's 24¤ out and the streets are covered in ice.
4/16. 201 lbs 6633 steps. Not bad for a day off work. We went to the mall after school so I did much more walking than I usually get without work. Yesterday was the first day in over 50 that I didn't log my food. Today was also a cheat day. I logged everything, but I had more than 2100 calories today. Mostly doughnuts and licorice. Dinner was really healthy though. Falafel with humus.3 -
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.

Maintenance Starts
R35 * Start = 128.6 * Ave = 128.7 * Min = 127.6 * End = 127.6
R36 * Start = 128.2 * Ave = 128.1 * Min = 127.2 * End = 127.4
Round 37 = Goal = Maintain 125-130. Going on a significant trip 4/12-4/24, away from scale and kitchen and kitchen scale and likely, some of the time, internet. Will be an emotional trip too, I can guarantee. So just hoping and praying I can be sensible, in every way, not just about food.
4/8 - 127.2 - under maintenance yesterday and 10K steps. Have not done any regular exercise in a week apart from some walking-grade aerobics.
4/9 - 127.0 - yesterday high on emo and calories, low on steps, and a new low weight today. Maybe excess cortisol burns calories my fitbit can't detect.
JK, I know this is just a bounce waiting to happen.
4/10 - 126.8 - yesterday under maintenance calories, 13K steps, 2 mile run.
4/11 - 127.0 - yesterday just over maintenance calories, but 10K steps and some planks. Can't believe this new "right around 127" weight is really a thing, but it looks like this week it is!
4/12 - 126.6 - yesterday under calories but only 7500 steps. Up till 2AM getting ready.
Won't have a scale (food or person) while gone; won't have internet connection for 6 days; will report progress this round but likely not be able to start round 38 until I return. Really curious about how I do on this 12 days away, with both food and stress.
Meanwhile, still dropping weight on maintenance LOL
4/13 - traveling. Yesterday under calorie goal, 8000 steps and 375 miles. Today, under calories, 5800 steps and 750 miles.
4/14 - at stepson's. Today 14,500 steps, seemingly all over Albuquerque. Under calories. Can't breathe and got a sty in one eye, thank you allergies.
4/15 - at stepson's, today 13,700 steps and a nice walk atop the 10,000 foot mountain, and may I say my coastal conditioning is not 100% down with that mayhem! Went way over calories on the best red and green Chile sauce in Albuquerque: WORTH IT
4/16 - at stepson's. Some very emotional issues in my family have rather suddenly (it seems) worked their way from seemingly-hopeless to some-amends-honesty-and-caring-have-been-expressed in the last 48 hours and I am so grateful. SO, SO GRATEFUL. Today only 7200 steps as we were busy with chores and planning, under calories.
4/17 - traveling
