GW:150
3 down, 67 to go!
4/18 - 219, just getting started. I should probably get rid of the bars sitting on the counter. :P
4/19 - 219, well, at least the bars are gone.
4/20 - 219, 28th anniversary ... out to dinner with friends.
4/21 - 219, the sun is shining so heading out for some yard work.
4/22 - 219, grocery day. Shopping to set myself up for success this week.
4/23 - 219, first day really logging. Hoping to see a drop tomorrow!
4/24 - 219, blah. Why does every BMR calculator on the internet have to be different???
4/25 - 218,

4/23 - 187.1
4/24 - 185.6 - I drank a ton of water yesterday, but my food choices weren’t perfect. I did go to the grocery store to get more fruits and veggies for snacks. Hopefully, that will help with the after work snack.
4/25 - 185.1 - I'm still headed in the right direction even though I wasn't that great about eating healthy yesterday. I forgot my lunch and didn't have time for breakfast so by the end of the day I was ready to eat everything in front of me. Today is a new day, hopefully, tomorrow will continue the downward trend.
4/26 - 184.7 - Ok, I'm not going to complain about that. Unfortunately, I broke my toe yesterday because walking gracefully has never been my strength. Dr. wants me off my feet for 3-5 days so I'm not counting on losing much more but I'll try to stay hydrated and not feed my boredom with comfort food.
4/278 -
4/18-160
I didn't look for several days but did a tremendous amount of yard and garden work the entire weekend!

Round 37 SW: 179.8
Round 38 SW: 179.0
Round 38 GW: 176--my wedding weight!
Ultimate GW: 145ish
Day/Weight/Comment
4/18--No weigh in. I'm taking this round off for TOM. Hopefully I'll pick up right where I leave off.
4/19
4/20--Just checking in so I don't get out of the habit. I ate WAY over my calories yesterday and don't even feel guilty about it. Just trying to get back in the groove today.
4/21
4/22--178.0 TOM was short and sweet so I'm back ahead of schedule! Very pleased to see a decrease since the last time I weighed in.
4/23--176.2 WOW!!! I haven't seen 176 since my wedding in 2009. Well, that's not true; I had braces for a year in 2013 and got down to 165, but that was very brief and I gained it all back as soon as the braces came off. Doing the happy dance today--I hope it sticks! I'm making that my goal for this round!
4/24--177 Well, I expected that. No worries.
4/25--177.6 Still not concerned; I haven't been doing anything differently and I expected a bounce back. Just keep plugging along!
4/26--178.8 Oh my.
4/276 -
So I've done 4 rounds so far, and I'm pretty much back where I started! Time to get serious with working out, which I admit I have been neglecting. Still hoping to get back to 117lbs, despite my lack of progress

4/22 - 121.2 I'm thinking this can't last, and I'll get hit with an uptick tomorrow
4/23 - 121.2
4/24 - 121.3 three days at same weight, I think I finally broke through the plateau!
4/25 - 123.0 ugh

R37 SW 141.8 EW 140.6
Day/Weight/Comment
4/18 141.0
4/19 140.2
4/20 139.6 Well, I would have been happy to see this number at the end of the round. This may be the loss of "water weight" from re-starting weight loss after a long pause.
4/21 138.8 Well, this is very encouraging. Of course, I don't know if this is "water weight" or if my calories are set too low. My activity level can change from day to day and even week to week, and I'm nursing a toddler who takes in an ever-changing, impossible-to-know-amount-of-milk every day, so it can be hard to know my ideal calorie goal. Since I feel great and I'm not hungry, and it's only day 4 of the round, I'm going to keep on keeping on for now and see how things go.
I had a physical yesterday, and passed with flying colors. What a difference from the last time I was at the doctor's. I'd had several health problems that were hard to recover from. Looking forward to exercise, fresh air, good health, and weight loss!!!!
4/22 139.6 Had a big huge dinner last night; ate at maintenance. Have a brunch at a restaurant today; will try to do my best with accurate logging and not overeating.
4/23 139.8
4/24 139.8 Weighed an hour later than usual... not sure if that makes a difference.
4/25 139.6 I've been trying my best! I've been sticking to my calorie goal as much as humanly possible and eating at a deficit... it's not always easy!! (Daughter made delicious high-calorie brownies after dinner... after I was well done with my chocolate & calorie allotment for the day... Secretly gave my portion to hubby when she wasn't looking... so sad!... LOL.)

4/18 215.3 here we go again…..good luck, everyone!
4/19 214.4
4/20 214.0
4/21 213.6 Still doing good. No mindless snacking…that’s what would always sabotage any weight loss for me. That, and eating way too much at mealtimes. Paying attention to how much I’m actually eating makes a big difference. Also, making healthier choices of what I eat. Have a good weekend, all!
4/22 212.6
4/23 211.8 I’m surprised my weight is down again today. I figured it was time for it to hold steady for a few days before beginning that downward trend again. Nevertheless….I’ll take it. Just finished a cup of tea and some plain Greek yogurt for breakfast. Does anyone else notice that when you miss breakfast for whatever reason, you’re not as hungry during the day then on days that you eat breakfast? Yesterday I had a cup of tea in AM, but didn’t have time to eat before I had to leave. Wasn’t hungry until early afternoon. But when I do eat something for breakfast, I’m usually thinking about lunch by 11 AM and find it more difficult not to want to eat a whole lot more throughout the day. I wonder why that is?
4/24 211.6
4/25 210.7 Doing a happy dance! Today marks 3 weeks on MFP and I’ve lost my first 10 pounds! Mostly it hasn’t been too difficult, but there have been a few times I really wanted to give in to the urge to splurge and just pig out. Anyway, keep up the good fight, everyone. It is so worth it!

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.

Doing the best you can this moment is success.7 -
I've had my fun the past 6 weeks (moving, house hunting, eating!), but I've reset my goals and am serious now about dropping another 20 pounds by the end of the year. At 1 lb. per round, that's reasonable and doable, especially as the weather improves, my life settles down, and I get back to walking & hiking & biking & weights.
Goals:

Day/Weight/Calories Day Before (aiming for <1548)/Comment
GOAL: 149
4/18 - 150 - 1539
I was so good yesterday I was hoping for a little less.
4/19 - 149.6 - 1445
A little stressed today, waiting for seller's response to our requests re. house inspection. Aiming for lots of protein & reasonable good fats + a nice walk to fend off counter-productive urges.
4/20 - 150 - 1293
Normal bounce. I ate well yesterday and walked a bit.
4/21 - 149.6 - 1250
Good. I expect a bounce tomorrow - we had pizza for lunch today. Still possible to stay within calories, but sodium.... But that's fine if it happens. Have a lovely Saturday afternoon and evening!
4/22 - 150 - 2144
Yep, there's the pizza bounce, and I definitely did not stay within calories. That's fine - back to normal sodium levels today.
4/23 - 149.4 - 1313
Finally! I may make my goal for the round after all.
4/24 - 149 - 1451
Yes! Back on track. Now to keep dropping.
4/25 - 150.2 - 1104
Boo hiss. Maybe delayed bounce from the 22nd? Also I have a cold and have taken some drugs, so maybe water. Grrr. I'm adding my day-before calories to my weights to see if I see a pattern. My ave calories for this round are 1442, so I should be trending down.
4/26 - 149.4 - 1402
That's better. Maybe I can still hit 149 tomorrow. Seems like this shouldn't be so difficult after my long stretch eating at maintenance. Granted I'm not cutting by much, but still.... At least the weather is improving day by day so we can go out and play!

I CAN do 10 days of:
- No manmade sugar;
- No yeast aka bread and alcohol;
- No oil aka nuts, chips, cheese, meat;
- 30 minutes of exercise;
- 10k steps.
T- 2 (4/16): 159. Morning cardio workout. Lunchtime walk. Walk before dinner. 11k+ steps. Good eating day.
T-1 (4/17): 158.5. Morning workout. Lunchtime walk. Elliptical Trainer- 30m. 12k steps. Good eating day.

Round Goal: -2 pounds
Challenge
4/18: 157#. Morning workout. Kept my feet moving at work. Extra workout doing laundry. 11k+ steps . Good eating day.
4/19: 155# (Back to where I should be after a week of not paying attention). No morning workout. 30m on the elliptical. 11k+ steps. Not tempted by the junk.
4/20: 154.5#- Morning workout. Stroll with hubs after dinner. Good day of eating.
4/21: 154#- Morning workout. Outside walk. Gardening. Eating was spot on.
4/22: 153# Morning workout. Bike Ride. 11k+ steps. Eating was good. Even ate out.
4/23: 154# (Weight up this morning. Could feel the bloat. Didn’t get enough water yesterday. Not worried) Morning workout. Lunchtime walk outside! Woot! Woot! Day 6 in the books and it was yet another fantastic day.
4/24: 153# (SEE!!! All is good!) Morning workout - if you call it that. Woke up hungry with little energy. Fueled my body with a double breakfast. 10k steps are going to be difficult. But knowing this now, I can plan my day accordingly, right? 12k+ steps. Looks like the lunch walk is key to success. Another day of eating on plan.
4/25: 152# No morning workout which is fine. My body needed the rest. Walk at lunch. 12k+ steps. Eating was a little more difficult today, but I ate within my calories and my “limits”. Good day despite wanting to have the junk.
4/26: 154# (Up this morning- PMSing). Morning workout.

SW: 212.6
GW: 210
UGW: 155
4/18 - 212.6 - Felt a little bloated, adjusting lunch time shake down to 1 scoop
4/19 - 212.2 - Feeling positive and slightly less bloated. Walked the Dog around Pearl Hill about 1 mile. Being more mindful about getting up every hour at work.
4/20 - 210.2 - Bloat is gone, scale shows the water weight lost. Adjusted my lunchtime meal yesterday since I wasn't hungry after my sandwich wrap and skipped the shake. I think the shake makes me bloated in the afternoon. Dinner has not been planned just being more mindful of portion sizes. Did 25 minute yoga/meditation last night. Goal is to actually check in this weekend while I'm not on my work schedule. Accountability!
4/21 - 210.0 - had pizza and salad for dinner last night, it fit into my macros for the most part. Slightly over, but the day was good whole food eating all day. 80/20 rule! Weighed in a little earlier than usual. Good breakfast shake this morning and took meds. Pot roast snack after a walk and errands instead of a big huge breakfast sandwich. Weekend water intake always struggles but making a good effort. Going Adams farm and grocery shop today or tomorrow. Doing an experiment today to see if I can make good choices on the fly!
4/22 - 210.2 "experiment" went well considering. Ate mostly proteins all day and ended up having ice cream for dinner cause our eating schedule was all weird after a long day, first weekend back working. Water struggles for sure and I woke up so dehydrated. Duck eggs and sausage for breakfast and off the the store for a few things. Water water water today. Went to Adams Saturday and Grocery store Sunday - prepped and ready for the week.
4/23 - 211.0 - Ice cream got the better of me last night - which I didnt have room for in my macros since I had quesadillas for dinner. But it was a great day of quality food, friends, sunshine and laughter. We did a nice long walk around bowers for Fala. Stopped at Kalon for bacon ended up with steak instead. Grilled steak and potato with green beans for lunch, used leftovers for steak quesadilla for dinner. Minimal snacking, improved my water intake - learned that "light ice cream" is just a tease and I'd be better satisfied to eat the one serving size of regular instead of a whole pint of "light" - Expected the slight gain between over on macros and sodium - but I keep reminding myself that the weekends will take far more dedication than the weekdays, and I will figure out what works and what does not as I continue.
4/24 - 210.0 - Meal prep has already helped this week so much - quinoa and grilled chicken for lunches, didnt realize quinoa was so carb heavy, I know its a grain but for some reason I thought it was lower. Still a better choice for me since its lower GI. Had a 1/2 cup white rice with dinner and used coconut aminos instead of soy and kept my sodium in check! Mini bag of popcorn instead of carrots and dip because I didnt like the honey dijon - but it was good I had a back up option and didnt end up at the drive thru! No dessert last night and sleep is improving. Today I am happy with the number I see but expect it to flucuate a bit before the final 4/27 weigh in. Really enjoying this challenge.
4/25 - 208.4 - Whoa! Holy moly not sure what to make of that. I suspect I'll see some fluctuation in the next few days. I cooked dinner last night and ate a few extra pieces of bacon while I was cooking. Still stayed within macros for cals, carbs, sodium and actually hit my protein (these are typically my trouble spots)! I've never done daily weigh in's before so this is great for data collection to see how and what affects my body. I noticed yesterday my complexion is improving and my ring is finally feeling more comfortable. Almost done with my first round of 10 days and feeling all the benefits, mind, body and soul!
4/26 - 207.6 - Weighed twice before and after shower because I did not believe my eyes. Yesterday was a sedentary day, although I've been improving my moving every hour. Ate within macros. Tried a tasty new recipe for beef and quinoa stuffed peppers. Had to pick up dog meds so dinner was later, and I almost said screw it lets order pizza, but I had 2 crackers with cheese to get me thru (shoot have to add this - might have been over on macros after all - nope still a good day, 32mg over on sodium 12g over on fat). Pasta and sausage planned for tonight - fitting it into my macros and adjusting the usual recipe down to half box of pasta and adding more sausage. But I know I'm still having at least 1 night a week that we eat pasta so I just gotta figure out how to make it more work for the long haul. Again, progress not perfection! Also a reminder to myself that sodium is slightly over today, and with two days of crazy losses the scale may bounce back tomorrow - that is not defeat! My goal was under 210 so I'm hoping to achieve that goal tomorrow, even if it means a slight gain from today.

So after vacation, SO home for 6 weeks, not keeping up with JGM10 and super busy and stressful at work. I'm up a few pounds. Some will be water weight and drop off rather quick (I hope). Goals to meal prep, stay around 1500 calories and 15,000+ daily steps.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/18: 137.4, now the real work begins. On target yesterday and holding steady.
4/19: 138.8, darned pickles! I never realized how much sodium they have. Also indulged in 1 Reese’s peanut butter cup (regular size). Calories were within deficit and my macros were decent. Proof that salt and sugar make me retain water.
4/20: 135.4, must be dehydration from last night’s wine. Food was on target, but a little over in calories due to my pinot indulgence.
4/21: 136.8, back to normal hydration. On target for calories and macros yesterday.
4/22: 137.8, birthday party potluck. I’m thinking too much sodium and definitely the wine is reflected in my weight.
4/23 136.8, I’ll take it! On track yesterday with food. Still not drinking enough plain water, I prefer mineral water so I tend to drink that instead.
4/24: 136.8, it was the Klondike bar...
4/25: 136.8, deficit in calories yesterday, macros were off; too much sugar and fat

Day/Weight/Comment
4/18 = 200.4 (-1.6). WHOOSH™. Day 2 of Keto was again just fine. 21 net carbs, slightly under protein goal, slightly over in calories. Generally feeling okay so far. Yesterday was better than the day before. My wife is going to a training for 2 days, so I get to live the bachelor life until Thursday night.
4/19 = 199.2 (-1.2). WHOOSH again!!! Day 3 of Keto went pretty well, even after having half a banana early in the morning (40% of my daily carbs). I was right on target with my macros. I'm enjoying the scale, but I think this is pretty normal for Keto (not 100% sure). SL 5x5 and basketball tonight. I'll be interested to see what my energy level is like at this point.
4/20 = 196.8 (-2.4). Another WHOOSH™!!! I'm about 6 points away from my lowest weight in 25 years. Keto Day 4 was great! I had berries and whipped heavy cream for dessert last night, a little bit of dark chocolate during the day, and was still under calories. I am recognizing the need to be a little careful about indulging sweets. I was a little high in protein, but other macros were on point. 5.2 lbs in 3 days. Is this normal Keto stuff? I'm not complaining, but I didn't expect things to be moving so quickly.
4/21 = 196.0 (-0.8). I'm going to stop naming whatever this is for right now. No I'm not. Any other day this would be a WHOOSH™, so that's what it is. I'm 1 lb away from what I labeled my Ultimate Goal Weight, but that's so clearly not where I'm going to stop that I'm changing it right now. I want to be under 190 (at least). For the first time, maybe ever, I'm not afraid of the weekend. Thanks Keto! And thanks for the funny weight loss streak too! Keto is really working for me; I've been tested numerous times with sweets so far, and they don't motivate me more than reaching my goal does! Good luck to everyone this weekend!
4/22 = 196.2 (+0.2). This may sound weird, but I'm happy to have a day without a loss; I was a little worried my streak would never end. Things are still going well with Keto Day 6. I was out with friends for lunch (they had dessert), had dinner with parents (had to make my own food at their house), and it wasn't hard to stick with my plan. I'm working most of the day today, and there's a dinner tonight for my brother-in-law's birthday. I'll find something I can eat at the Italian restaurant we're going to.
4/23 = 197.0 (+0.8). I've definitely come back to Earth regarding the rapid initial loss from Keto, and I'm glad. I ate out at a family-style Italian restaurant for my brother-in-law's birthday. I got a little bit of gentle teasing from my sister-in-law, but stuck to plan for the most part (half a bite of mango mousse cheesecake, and a tiny sip of 3 different drinks). Regardless, gaining 1 lb over the weekend is a good result for just about any weekend. The bad news is that my lower back had been killing me since Friday. Lucky for me I'm so busy this week that I couldn't have played basketball even if I wanted to. I need to visit my chiro. My weight is likely stuck because of my back; it's hard to #2 when it hurts to flex my abs or lower back muscles. Sorry for the TMI! I'm happy if I can just maintain through the end of this challenge.
4/24 = 196.0 (-1.0). BOUNCE BACK™. I'm at Keto Day 8, and it's still working out pretty well. Hit my macros right on the head, and I'm starting to incorporate more leafy greens and healthy stuff into my diet. Until now the only healthy thing I've been ingesting consistently has been avocado. I've been a little funky regarding sweets; I'm making sure that, if I have some carbs left at the end of the day, I'm using them, and I'm using them on dark chocolate or blackberries and heavy whipped cream. I'm not sure if this is good, okay, or really bad. My back is killing me. I know I shouldn't be at work, but there's a goodbye lunch for one of my co-workers, and I'm going to try to make it until then (2 hours away at the time of writing this). When that's over, it's off to Urgent Care (to get the appropriate meds), then home for the afternoon and likely all day tomorrow to rest, ice, and hopefully recover. I'm hoping this pain is relatively short-term (it always has been), and that I can get back to the gym/basketball next week (even if it's at a reduced intensity).
4/25 = 196.0. No change from yesterday re: weight, but a little change regarding my back pain (25% improvement). I could tie my shoes this morning (with effort), so I decided to come to work. I got some prescription-strength ibuprofen from the doctor, as well as a muscle relaxer (for when I get home), so at least I know I'm doing what I can medication-wise. Food-wise, I made it through the day/night last night without chocolate or berries, so that was a NSV as well. Under my carb goal, slightly over on protein yesterday. I'm really hoping my back gets better soon.
4/26 = 196.2 (+0.2). Kind of a blah day yesterday. Had a potluck at work for lunch, and was able to eat a grilled chicken breast and guacamole. I was fine with it, but I think some of my coworkers were a little bit shocked by my eating. Too bad. My back is 75% better than it was, which is great. I feel like I'm on-track to get back to exercising by Monday or so. I was under calories yesterday, under carbs, but went over my protein goal by a few grams and didn't take in nearly the fat I usually do. I'm hoping that my improved back/reduced pain will help to "get things moving" in my body. The pain/inflammation meds have not been helping this process, I think.
