SheilaBoneham · April 2018

Once more into the fray.... I've decided to start including my average calories for the round with my end weight so I can really get a sense of what works. I do keep my macros pretty steady, but calories fluctuate and the average matters more than daily in my experience. I'm interested to see that although I exceeded my calorie goal during the last round and my weight jumped around a bit, I finished pretty much where I started. So maybe my TDEE is higher than I think and in theory I could eat a little more than I thought and still lose. We shall see. Glad to be back - thanks for being here for support & inspiration!

Goals:
Weight ~~ Lose slowly, hit <149 this round.
Food ~~ 1548 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 20-25%, C 35-45%, F 30-45%

Weight 2/2015 - 218
Lost 68#, regained 12 (to 156) on metabolism reset 11/16-6/17.

Day/Weight/Comment

4/8 - 149.6
After I posted yesterday, I decided to go a step farther for a longer view, so I averaged my daily calories for the past 30 days, during which my weight has been pretty steadily within half a pound of 149.5. Although my daily calories fluctuated from ~1400-2000, the average was 1549, which is 1 cal away from where I have put my TDEE for a while now (with minimal exercise). I really like having this data, and I'm since I do not want to cut my calories any more (metabolism & hunger), I'm happy holding steady here until I do get back to my typical activity level (soon!). It's easy to get wrapped up with the day-to-day and forget that reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is a long-term project - a lifestyle. Don't now if this helps anyone else, but it helps me a lot.

4/9 - 150.8
Eeek! But not a surprise - I had a major blow out yesterday. I knew what I was doing and did it anyway - I've been lusting after a pastry and some other things I don't usually eat, so I did it. And it's fine. Back on the wagon today with healthful food and lots to do.

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.

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.

taxgirl1 · April 2018

I'm back. Took a few rounds off because weighing everyday and not seeing the scale move as fast as I thought it should was affecting me mentally. I know that the scale lies, but it was hard to not see the scale move at the rate I thought it should. Regardless of the scale my clothes are fitting looser and I'm getting stronger, so I am doing good.

4/9- 132.4- not surprised to see this fluctuation despite a healthy, active weekend... it's water-retaining time of the month for me, so I'll be carrying a little extra around until about Saturday

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: 45
Height 5’11”
Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs

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)

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.

4/9: 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.

I met my goal weight in late 2017. I've been ranging around 109-112 lbs since January. My new goal now is to get down to 24 inch waist & 19% body fat. I'm currently at 25.75 inch waist & 20.2% body fat. I'll work towards this by continually increasing my strength training goals every month. I would love to have ripped abs & tank-top triceps by summer.

@jerier and @MadisonMolly I also weigh almost everything especially ingredients!

@brightresolve Sending prayers.

@CaliMomTeach It should come off fairly quickly. I bet a lot of it is water.

@k25rogge I wonder why those 140’s are so rough to get out of?!?

@Tracie_Lord You are doing GREAT.

@mrmcgrath I find it takes 2-3 days for food to decide if it’s sticking or leaving. That might explain your gain. At least that is my experience.

@MadisonMolly I use the last weight in the previous round as my starting weight in the new round just as if there was no break. Otherwise, I was losing the drop from old day 10 to the new day 1. Does that make sense?

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

4/8 138.5
4/9 138.0 Water fitness this morning and I am going to begin to clean my sewing room. I have been in a funk and there is not a surface that isn’t buried! The daybed is covered with clothes that were a little small when I bought them last summer. They will either fit now or be too big! When I hit this weight last week, did I say I hadn’t visited this number since 2011? 10 days til HS reunion!

@jerier and @MadisonMolly I also weigh almost everything especially ingredients!

Yay!!

@mrmcgrath I find it takes 2-3 days for food to decide if it’s sticking or leaving. That might explain your gain. At least that is my experience.

@quiltingjaine Yes!! I actually looked at my daily calorie counts with exercise steady & saw it took 2-4 days for the things I’d eaten (or not eaten) to show on the scale. “I frequently see people saying I did everything right, but...” No but! You DID do everything right & it WILL show in 2-3 or 4 days!!!

@MadisonMolly I use the last weight in the previous round as my starting weight in the new round just as if there was no break. Otherwise, I was losing the drop from old day 10 to the new day 1. Does that make sense?

@quiltingjaine Thanks! I will do that, too! Makes perfect sense. I’ll fix that in tomorrow’s post.

Have a wonderful day! BTW- have you seen the daily temperature quilts? Such fun!
