Day/Weight/Comment

4/28 - 164.0 - Well there's my goal weight in one day but I know this number won't stick around. Pretty sure my body is dehydrated this morning so I'm drinking lots of water today. Would love to keep this number but seeing it at the end of the 10 days will work for me if I do gain in tomorrows weigh in. I had a busy day yesterday and have a busy day ahead of me. Have to keep it healthy today.

4/29 - 165.4 - There's the gain I was expecting but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I'm happy with where my weight is at this point in time, and I'm learning to be ok with what the numbers on the scale say and what the size of my clothes are because I see differences in the mirror when I look at myself and I'm proud of the hard work I've done this far to get me where I'm at. When I truly get down to yesterday's weight (164) I'll be exactly 10 pounds lighter than when I started my weight loss journey! Hoping to get there by the end of this 10 day challenge and then I'll celebrate (with something other than food or booze ... a nice swim suit for this summer maybe?!)

4/30 - 165.8 - Not liking this upward trend I'm on right now, need to kick my butt into high gear and start bringing it back down. Had an active day yesterday doing a lot of yardwork and I ate under calories so hoping it shows in tomorrows weigh in. Got lots of healthy snacks ready and lunches prepped for the week, goal weight here I come!

5/01 - 163.8 - What??!! Where did this come from? It's awesome if it sticks around and if it does I'll have to set a new goal for the last half of this challenge, if not I'll have one day of great excitement. Could not believe my eyes when I stepped on the scale this morning, weighed myself 3 different times. Super excited for today, it's supposed to be beautiful out and I just want to get out there and getting moving. I hope everyone has as good of a day as I have so far!

5/02 - 163.8 - Kind of surprised this number stuck around, I never have such a big drop, a gain yes but never a drop. At this point I reached and surpassed my goal for this round so my new goal is to maintain the loss, my weight fluxuates a lot and I want to stay at (or be below) this weight at the end of the 10 days. I'm learning what to eat to help my weight not change so much from day to day so I just need to keep at it. At this weight I'm officially 10 pounds down (whoo!!) so if I can maintain, I'm going to treat myself to some new summer clothes! And boy do I need them

5/03 - 163.6 - I was actually expecting a gain not a loss today as I did some snacking on chips and cheese dip yesterday and while dinner was small is wasn't the healthiest. I'll take the loss today though and just remember where the gain comes from if I do gain tomorrow or Saturday, which is most likely when I'll see those chips come back to haunt me. No snacking today and hopefully get a walk in before or after the storm that's suppose to happen today.

5/04 - 163.6 - Why was I so hungry yesterday? All day? Hoping today's not the same or I'll definitely gain back what I already lost. Not enough steps, rained most of the day so I wasn't able to go walk, very late dinner. Need to get back on track today so I continue to see results.

5/05 - 163.6 - Super happy to be maintaining this weight. Didn't log everything last night but I'm pretty sure I was over calories (for the first time this week) had a nice relaxing night at home and had a couple drinks. Will get lots of walking in today and tomorrow so hoping my overage won't show on the scale.

Ultimate goal: 138
Round 38: 180.1 (-5.9)

CSW: 180.1

4/28: 180.1 Same as yesterday. Lots of walking yesterday but also lots of indulgences in my diet. I wanted a break from logging before the next round. Back to work!

4/29: 181.7 Walked a bunch but ate steak and popcorn and wine. This is the result.

4/30 181.2 Continued my walking regime. Diet a little indulgent by eating back all my exercise calories. It’s a step int the right direction though. I just need to stop eating Sunday morning grits—their calorie density just throws me off for the whole day.

5/1: 182.8 I had 12,000 steps and a great DB workout. Drank my water and stayed in calorie goal. Sigh.

5/2: 183.2, walked 12,000 steps and did power cardio workout. Ate back half my workout calories and gained again. Not sure if I should just be patient or should stop eating exercise calories back.

5/3: 183.4, family celebration. I was careful most of the day but wheels came off in the evening. I wonder if some of this isn’t water weight from TOM. In any case I need to eliminate after dinner calories to see.

5/4: 181.4 There goes the water bloat. Made better food choices yesterday. Not perfect but better. Here’s to progress.

5/5:182.5. Lotsofwalking and biking. Stayed in calorie goal but not nearly enough water

5 down, 65 to go.

4/28 - 217, supposed to be a beautiful couple of days. I have my grand blessings for the weekend and we're planning on spending all of it outside!

4/29 - 216, lots of chasing the kids around yesterday. Summer clothes and shoe shopping today before I have to bring them back.

4/30 - 216, back to work, sho is Monday. 4 down, 66 to go!

5/1 - 215

5/2 - 215, Friday I'll retake my measurements since it's a new month. There won't be much of a change with a 5 pound loss but I like to have them for reference when I have those months where the number on the scale just won't budge. Losing inches is just as satisfying as losing pounds.

5/3 - 214, Another beautiful weekend coming up. We'll have more people at the lake on the weekends going forward. Hoping I can stay on track if we have a houseful or not.

5/4 - 214, New month. (I always do this on a Friday.) I took measurements this morning and, along with the first 6 pounds, I lost 5 1/2 inches overall and a full point off my BMI. I recalculated my BMR and got my new calorie goal for May. Looking forward to seeing the results at the end of the month. Busy weekend ahead with lots of visitors, projects to finish and more projects to get underway. Happy Friday!

5/5 - 215, Fridays are my free days. Totally worth it and nuff said.

A reminder for those days when the struggle is real:

Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now.

round 34 - start = 202 end 192.8lbs stomach empty and bone dry
round 35 - start = 192 end 196lbs
round 36 – 195lbs no change.
Round 37 194lbs start and finish but did see 192 for a couple days
Round 38 –196lbs starting – 194lbs end. I went into this round kinda heavy. Not really counting this as a loss
Round 39 goal – would like to see at least one morning weigh in less than 190#

4/28 193lbs – we don’t diet to hard on the weekend but I hope I have the willpower to hit it hard all week long.
4/29 192lbs – kinda light on food for some reason yesterday but went over goal if you count the adult beverages.
4/30 192.00 – I usually do not report the .0 --- it is not typical for me to loose on a weekend since we don’t try very hard from Friday – Sunday night.
5/1 191.00 – posting the .0 again. totally unexpected after eating around 1200 calorie dinner.
5/2 192 – ate kinds good. Drank like a fish. Can’t lose every day! First words out of Wife’s mouth this morning “HAVE A SANDWICH”
5/3 – 194lbs dressed – got called into work early and didn’t weigh in at normal time. Also had clothing on. Should have weighed more considering what I ate yesterday!
5/4 – 192 - ate good. Last night the scale had me at 55.9% water. I average 52-53% so I am wondering if I see a drop soon

5/5 – 192lbs – I am fine with weight but would like to see less then 20% body fat. I have a little ways to go yet.

Round 39 (Round 1 for me!)

4/28 - 190.2

4/29 - 192.2: Big dinner of country style ribs, baked potato, corn, and a couple of Seagrams spiked. My weekly indulgence. The rest of the week will be better!

4/30 - 194.2: Not heading in the direction I want, but today is a new day. Ham and more Seagrams are not helping the situation!

5/1 - 192.6: That's better. Tuna sandwich for lunch; chicken salad for dinner. 45 minute walk with the daughter.

5/2 - 191.8: I’ll take it! Same lunch as yesterday. Dinner was a couple of slices of ham and a baked potato. No exercise.

5/3 - 190.2: Woohoo!!! Back where I started the round! LOL. My doctor called yesterday afternoon and is decreasing my thyroid meds again (just lowered it 5 weeks ago). Not sure why it's dropping all of a sudden.

5/4 - 190.0: Considering I succumbed to my sweet tooth yesterday, I'm surprised! Hopefully this means I may just say farewell to the 190's tomorrow morning when I do my weekly weigh-in. Working on a fast today...on hour 14 right now.

5/5 - 189: I did it!! Finally hit the 180’s!! Heading to NHRA TODAY, so food choices won’t be optimal. Going to do the best I can though!

4/28: 220.4 Tough kettlebell workout yesterday and then came home and went on a 1 hour walk with husband and the dog. Massage today!
4/29: 220.0 Worked on getting my water in yesterday which I find much harder to do on the weekends. Had a great massage yesterday. Hoping the weather holds up so that I can get a long walk in today.
4/30:220.9 Had chinese food yesterday, so I'm not surprised about the jump due to the increased sodium. Went for a 2.2 mile walk yesterday. Allergies are killing me today, so no kettlebell
5/01:--221.1 More water retention from left over chinese food. Calories were good, so now I just wait for the water weight to leave. Drinking a lot of water today.
5/02:--221.3 Ugh. I am assuming that is still some water weight. I have been really good in getting my water in the last couple of days. Allergies under control today, so kettlebell tonight.
5/03--220.0 There goes the water weight.
5/04:--218.6 I had to weigh myself twice this morning. I hate that my emotions are affected by the number on the scale. I know that I have been eating within my calories and exercising, so I will lose weight, but it is nice when the scale reflects the work that I've put in. Kettlebell tonight.
5/05:--218.6 Holding steady. Tweeked my back a little yesterday, so I didn't go to kettlebell last night. Going for a hike today. Working on getting in my water today.

4/28 209.4 Ready. Steady. Go! Good luck to everyone in this challenge!
4/29 208.5 Not sure if this weight will stick around tomorrow because yesterday was a very busy day working with my DH rebuilding a shed at my mom’s. No breakfast, late small salad with some chicken for lunch, and just a small bowl of rice krispies for dinner because by the time we finished and got home it was just too late to eat much else and I was really tired. Did keep hydrated throughout day though.
4/30 208.5 hmmm…..it did stick around. Yay!
5/01 208.1
5/02 208.6 I like to graph my weight loss, and my graph looks like a rickety old staircase with risers and treads. As long as that staircase is heading down, it’s all good. So it would seem that for the past 4 days, I’m hanging out on a tread. I’ve heard some people refer to this as a mini-plateau. Anyway, I’m doing really good eating within my calorie goal, and no mindless snacking, and from past experience with weight loss I know I can linger on a “tread” for anywhere from 3 to 7 days. Then I have a drop. I just hope this holds true this time around. Have a nice day, everyone!
5/03 207.8 Yes!...a number under 208 something. I'll take it!
5/04 No scale today. Slept over at my nurse daughter’s last night to put her kids on the bus this AM for her and take her youngest to preschool. Then I spent the afternoon/evening at my other daughter’s house helping her start packing up to move. I’m tired! But I’m home now and will weigh in the AM.

•4/28 - 206.6 - Back to this smh. Maybe I'll be on a crazy type of plateau for a while. Still retaining a lot of fluid. If this culminates in a whoosh, it better be awesome. Lol
•4/29 - 205.2 - I lost a little bit more bodyfat too! Weighing everyday can be useful during the fat loss stage, because it provides more information on your body's fluctuations from exercise, sodium and water consumption. In my case, even though I was already knowledgeable about all of that, it's still stressful. Not a good thing when you suffer from adrenal fatigue. Anyhoo! I truly find that for me, daily weigh-ins are more beneficial during the maintenance phase to keep me from eating foods that I know are going to make me gain. And I'm not talking about an occasional dessert or glass of wine, I'm talking bread and grains.
•4/30 - 204.8  - Yes! I like seeing this number and yes, still retaining wate
head. I won't be able to eat a thing, so I've been working on what I could possibly drink to get in SOME nutrients today. My coconut milk avocado smoothie made with spinach and protein powder mixed with raw greens powder won't put me over carbs. It will provide plenty of vitamin A and C but not even half of my daily calories, not enough protein or fat. Gonna be a rough day, but hunger won't be a part of it. Recently, I have not been hungry until 3 or 4pm. I intermittent fast, 16:8. First meal at 4 is 20 hrs. I've been thinking about trying OMAD, one meal a day, but I just don't think I can eat my daily calorie allotment in one hour. 
•5/2 - 204.8 - Revisiting this number. Not much jaw pain today, but still pressure, a headache and neck pain. Thanks TMJ! I made it through yesterday on a nutritive drink made of protein powder mixed with greens powder, an avocado and several TBS of peanut butter. Really sad. I miss my salad and vegetables. I think I'll try some scrambled eggs today.
•5/3 - 204 - Feeling much better today

•5/4 - 204.6 - I have under eaten by almost 600 calories in the past 3 days, so I am very unhappy to see this number that has nothing to do with sodium, no exercise or not enough water. I am a person that becomes overweight from not eating enough. So, I will have to have a few days of overeating my calorie goal in hopes of balancing things out. At least I can chew my salads now!

•5/5 - 203 - ? - Of course I'm loving this, BUT it's on the back of 4 days of under eating. Good news is that I'm hungry, so I'll break my fast early today. This is also the first day in a while that my body doesn't feel filled with fluid.

4/28 207.0 - Chinese food/sushi early dinner, definitely not enough water. 242 over on cals
4/29 208.2 - Water could have been better - 400 over on cals because I skipped breakfast and was ravenous. Woke up pretty grumpy, not sure if PMS or Chinese food hangover. Did some grocery shopping for MIL - dropped stuff off and she made pizza. Need to get in the habit of having my breakfast smoothie on weekends too.
4/30 209.0 - Not surprised based on my eating habits and less than stellar hydration this weekend. Water water water today.
5/01 206.8 - Starting to see patterns in my weight gains/losses. Up over the weekend into Monday, with a drastic drop Tuesday if I'm good on hydration. Worked very hard on hydration yesterday and ended up around 100 fl.oz. Kept snacking at bay while cooking last night. Was due to go out for lunch with a friend today, plans cancelled and I have no lunch! Need to make some wise decisions on the fly. Low carb dinner, philly cheese steak stuffed peppers, so I have some wiggle room, but that doesn't mean hit the drive thru!!!
5/02 206.2 - Another 100 oz day for water yesterday - at work I have no problem hitting water goals. I need to track the weekends, thats where I need to improve. Panera for lunch fit into my macros with a cup of blackbean soup, half a turkey avocado bacon sandwhich on sourdough, sub mayo for hummus, and the bag of chips even fit in my day! I'm painfully frugal sometimes, so I almost got a Wendys chicken sandwhich (which was about the same cals + more sodium than all of my panera food) because it was cheaper. I reminded myself this is an INVESTMENT IN MYSELF, and spent the extra $4 at panera. Walk around Pearl Hill about 1 mile. Philly Cheese steak stuffed peppers are delicious and should remain a staple, half my expected portion filled me up. I passed out before I even though to eat my dark chocolate. A low cal day for me at about 1200 compared to my usual 1500-1600.
5/03 205.4 - I noticed yesterday that this challenge ends on a Monday - that will be a real test for me over the weekend. I typically see my biggest gain on Monday before a whoosh on Tuesday. Given the number I see today though, I'm confident that with some fluctuations I can still meet my goal of 206. It will be great to improve my water intake this weekend and see if that helps too with the weekend gain. Although, I know that my eating habits on the weekend tend to be a little more indulgent, so I'm going to have to find some balance with that as well. Could be as simple as better planning, perhaps? I'll make sure to have my smoothie for breakfast both days this weekend. I took some progress face pics today, and wowzers! Eyes are way less puffy, skin is glowing, I can already see a difference in my cheeks/chin - need to do some full body ones, as much as I dont want to. I'll wish I had done it later on. ETA Grumpy sunday was BOTH PMS and chinese food hangover. TOM, we will see how this affects the scales, usually lots of water retention - so be kind to yourself!
5/04 205.2 - Alright! Today I want ALL THE CARBS. I was a bird brain this morning and could hardly think to plan my food for the day cause all I want is pizza, mac and cheese, french fries etc. But I managed to get some quinoa and grilled chicken into my lunch box and drank my smoothie. A little behind on water thus far this morning so need to focus on that. I did work my day to include my "20 meal" of my 80/20 philosophy into tonight - so I will eat and enjoy the mac and cheese I've been craving - and it fits into my macros for the most part, 25g over on carbs (still under 150 though) and about 600mg over on sodium. Remember to improve eating habits Saturday and Sunday, with breakfast smoothie and planning the days meals just like a week day. Happy Friday!!!
5/05 205.0 Pleasantly surprised. Today I need to focus on water. Possibly pick up a gallon at the store so I can see real time progress. Going to make my smoothie now and get working on some weekend chores.

4/28 145.6 had 23,000 steps yesterday. Someone wrote on here calorie deficit is key. And that’s my hardest!
4/29 144.8 wanted ice cream but didn’t have it ate calorie deficit had 18,000 steps
4/30 144.8 I put all my food into MFP and it really helped me not eat so much! We can do this.
5/1 144.8 used MFP and it’s getting so much easier to use with time. Amazing how much I over ate no wonder I wasn’t losing weight! Walked hour.
5/02 145.6 ate more carbs and salt yesterday. But still kept under 1590 calories and walked an hour. Little frustrated.
5/03 145.8 had 26,000 steps and ate under 1590 calories but still up on weight. Oh well it’s only .2
5/04 145.8 was my bday yesterday ate under my calories but ate lots of salt and carbs! Walked 12,000 steps
5/05 145.8 had 10,000 steps ate under calories, had candy popcorn maybe that’s why didn’t lose?:)

I'm back and looking forward to this round. After two months of disruption with moving, house hunting, eating out too much, loosening up my usual healthy food choices, not walking my usual 1-2 hours/day, and a generally high stress level, I'm finally getting back to my usual routine. We should be moving into our house 3 weeks from yesterday, and in the meantime I'm just trying to eat well and mindfully and within bounds and exercise when I can. Of course, I also hope to (finally) start losing regularly.

Goals:
Weight ~~ UGW - 130; looking for indefinite downward trend each round; hope for 148 this round.
Food ~~ 1548 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 15-25%, C 35-50%, F 30-45%

4/28 - 148.8 - 1269
That's better! I went for a lovely walk yesterday at one of the city's beautiful parks. Today it's colder and there's a vicious wind, and I'm still trying to lose this cold, so won't be walking, but I've restarted doing body weight exercises and am off to buy some dumbbells in a few minutes. I sold my set when we moved but I miss the little boogers.

4/29 - 149.2 - 1849
A little bit of a blowout yesterday, but things average out. All good, healthy food, just a little too much of it. I don't think the weight bump is from the food, though -- too quick. I think it's water due to cold meds. We shall see.

4/30 - 149.6 - 2102
Still getting over this stupid cold and I know I'm retaining water, although I drank gallons yesterday. And I overate yesterday (although it's not as bad as it looks since I did walk for 70 minutes). It's ok.

5/01 - 149 - 1990
Surprised I lot a little (for now). I can't seem to stop eating - and I'm not fighting it too much since I'm still sick - just a cold, but a sinus headachy coughy one. I kind of think my body needs the food for healing. Maybe I'll just sleep all afternoon and see if that helps!

5/02 - 149 - 1792 (past 7 day ave 1667)
Interesting. I've been eating more than usual but seem to be pretty much holding steady. I have been walking most days, so that must be it. Fine by me! Another beautiful day here and I'm headed out for a walk at one of the beautiful city parks.

5/03 - 149.8 - 1762 (past 7 day ave 1718)
Yep, that's fair. I did walk an hour yesterday, fast, so net calories were lower. Still fighting off this chesty, hacking cold/cough, and I feel like I need to eat. I'm not eating junk, so I'll just go with it until I'm better. I keep reading your entries for inspiration & reassurance

5/04 - 149.8 - 1775 (past 7 days ave 1791)
I'm may skip weigh ins for the weekend (we'll see how I feel in the morning), but I will weigh in on Monday for the end of round.

5/05 - 149.8 - 1284 (past 7 days ave 1793)
I stuck to the plan yesterday. If I can end where I started with all the high-calorie sick days, I'll be happy.

4/28 / 234.8 / Great start to this round. But I'm planning to have some popcorn at the Avengers movie this afternoon, so hello, sodium!

4/29 / 236.2 /

4/30 / 236.2 / I didn't post yesterday because I spent all day at the hospital. My husband was admitted for chest pains. He was released just a couple of hours ago. I'm exhausted.

5/1 / 235.4 / I ate like crap for two days. Too much stuff of unknown provenance, too much salt, little to drink, stress coming out my ears. I'm shocked this isn't much higher.

5/2 / 235.4 / A better day. Husband having a stress test right now. I'm stressed enough for both of us!

5/3 / 235.4 / A better day again. As I posted earlier, my husband came through his stress test with flying colors, so that's a huge relief. My eating has been pretty decent. It's unusual for me to have the same weight three days in a row, but honestly I'm just pleased to be hanging in there this week! Thank you so much for being there in this thread. It's supportive just seeing those likes and hugs!

5/4 / 234.4 / Finally managed to eke out a loss compared to the start of the challenge. Hurrah! My husband is feeling better. I am feeling better. Things are looking up. I have a business trip at the beginning of next week which I don't really want to do. So I'll whine a bit about that, but otherwise, it's a good day.

5/5 / 234.2 / Even tiny movement down is a win!

This is Round 12 for me, and my second full round with the Keto lifestyle.

Felt a twinge of guilt after my micro-slip with chocolate last night, and I really didn't feel like taking responsibility for it. Old feelings, but it's good to remember where I came from, so I can catch myself before I ever have a chance to go completely back.

Day/Weight/Comment

4/28: no scale. Went to a work-related party with my wife and and head a couple of bites of a dark chocolate dessert they had there. Probably has 35-40 carbs total. Not too bad, but not great, either. And it probably contributed to what happened below.

4/29: no scale. Total non-Keto binge last night. If I'm honest, I felt this coming, and last night (my Godson's baptism party) was the perfect time for it. Details... I had a couple of drinks (maybe 3) my wife made (her first time making white sangria... Delicious!), I had more than 3 cupcakes (cut off the bottoms and eat the tops), and I had some fruit with condensed milk and coconut shavings. Everything else was Keto-friendly, but I'm sure I screwed things up in the short-term. I really don't want to make this a habit. I'm back in the Keto wagon, starting right now. I've got a shopping list I need to buy, but I likely won't get a chance to go to the store tonight. Shopping and food prep tomorrow. My back is 85% better.

4/30 = 197.4 (+0.6). Not bad at all. I was worried that my weekend was going to involve many more consequences. This is Day 2 of my Keto reboot. I ate to plan for lunch and dinner yesterday (skipped breakfast). I have some Keto sticks; I need to try them out and see how long it takes me to get back into ketosis. My back is 93% better. I'm going to try basketball tonight, but I'm going to take it slow.

5/01 = 195.8 (-1.6). BOUNCE BACK™. I played basketball for the first time since hurting my back 1.5 weeks ago, and overall it was a success! There's still some lingering pain, but it did not get any worse because of basketball, which is good. Food-wise I was on-target with carbs, slightly over with protein and calories, but everything was acceptable given it was a basketball day. Took in 176 ounces of water. Overall I'm feeling pretty good. Whatever I did this weekend with my cheat, I don't feel like I'm starting over (no Keto flu or anything). I'm going to try to remember to try out my Keto sticks tonight/tomorrow morning.

5/02 = 196.0 (+0.2). I'm totally okay with this. I only had about 96 ounces of water yesterday, but other than that I did "okay" eating: at my carb goal, slightly over on protein, slightly under on calories. I was not in control of my dinner portion-wise, but I made sure the things I ate were Keto-friendly. Come to think of it, lunch was the same way; I ordered broccoli and steak at a hole-in-the-wall Asian place and ended up throwing away 3/4 of my food (lots of rice and teriyaki sauce). I'm getting some work done on my phoenix tattoo tonight (touch-up, about a year and a half after getting it). I got my phoenix to remind me that, no matter how bad things might get, I'm always capable of "coming back" from just about anything. Rebirth and renewal. I'm really hoping I can play basketball Thursday, but if my friend does significant work on my tattoo, I will need to let it heal up first.

5/03 = 196.0 (no change). Very busy today, so no time to post in my "normal" manner. Got some touch ups done on my Phoenix tattoo last night, which means no lifting or basketball for the next 10 days. Are within carb and protein macros last night, but was under on calories/fat. I forgot to use my Keto suck again this morning.

5/04 = 196.0 (no change). I don't think I've ever stayed steady for 3 days in a row. Weird. I was slightly over my carb goal, but all other macros were on point. 9 more days until I can exercise (the way I want to)! Went for a walk last night with my wife, which was nice. She has been wanting to get fit/lose weight for a while now, but has not yet found the motivation. She's 5'2"and about 125, so she's in the healthy range re: BMI, and she'd look great if she didn't lose an ounce. I still want to be supportive, though. Plus it's extra steps for me!

5/05 = 196.8 (+0.8). Last night I had another moment of weakness, and had a glass of Zinfandel plus a little too much dark chocolate. I ate within plan during the day, but had some salad for dinner that I probably shouldn't have (had some quinoa and millet in it) with my grass-fed beef. I'm actually feeling a little crappy today. It might be my food choices. Back on the wagon! I'm going to make good choices for the rest of the weekend. I'm also going shopping today (which I didn't last week), and I'm going to food prep (which I haven't yet). I'm sure this has been limiting my Keto potential, and I'm excited to REALLY get started. 7 more days until I can play basketball and lift weights. I'll be happy at this point if I can just maintain where I'm at for this challenge.

Brand new newbie here (or at least new to actually using it. I signed up on MFP like three years ago and immediately fell off the wagon. Giving this another go and figure this will help with accountability. )
My goal for these 10 days is to stick with it LOL, make sure I'm getting SOME activity each day, and no soda unless at a restaurant (I'm a soda junkie and telling myself "NONE EVER!" backfired last time. This rule has worked well this past week.. I've had one soda only. ) Losing a pound would be totally accepted as well.

4/28 164.8 (Yesterday was good. Temptation was strong, but I came in just under calories anyway, and did manage to get some workout in.)

4/29 165.4 (Not bad considering the previous day. It This day was a definite"cheat" type of day. All morning & afternoon I was at a conference, and all evening I was out to dinner with friends. I tried to make sure I stayed moving during the conference breaks, and I made sure to cut my dinner portions in half - yay leftovers! - but I know it was definitely cheaty.)

4/30 164.6 (Back on track, more or less. )

5/1 163.8 (Hubby was night-snacking last night and I managed to scrounge up some willpower and not join in. Seeing a jump down is a nice reward for that.)

5/2 163.6 (Ate out last night, but planned ahead for it and adjusted other meals/added activity accordingly.)

5/3 163.4 (I think I need to figure out how to get more protein in my diet regularly. I more than usual yesterday and genuinely felt fuller.)

5/4 163.0 (I'm taking this steady downward trend while it's here. I'm sure the weekend will bring a little nudge back up.)

5/5 162.8 (Hubby surprised us with a trip to a bakery for dessert after supper last night. Thankfully I still had calories left. I got a small GF chocolate mousse cake, and made sure to split it. I had to guess on the calories when logging, but figured it would be better to do a slightly educated guess than not log it at all. I think I used chocolate mousse parfait from the database and hoped for the best. No jump up so I guess it worked out.)

Apologies to @hillcrestbaby - someone had told me @cyranda63 had started the thread. I started in Round 7, when did @hillcrestbaby disappear?

wellnfree

@doseofcrazy and @MaelynMayhem Oh, I crochet too … just happens the last few projects have been knitting. A while back, I decided to take a Craftsy class (at that time $14 on sale – close to the price of a nice magazine in Canada) on lace knitting and started into a lacy baby blanket. So the first grandbaby born after that got that blanket but then a different daughter was expecting later that year … I’m now on blanket #3 and baby is due end of May.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

4/28 136.5 Yesterday I went to water fitness, granddaughter’s softball game, and to listen to live music at a nearby casino. Great day.
4/29 136.0 (edit) I went to WW for the first time since 12/3/17 and am below goal. 13# gone thanks to Keto. The receptionist asked what I had been doing and was a little taken aback when I replied “not Weight Watchers.” THANK YOU, KETO!
4/30 136.0 A battle rages in my belly.
5/1 136.5 OH NO!! Vertigo! DAMN! After months of no problem it’s back. I hope it passes quickly. Sometimes the “Golden Years” don’t seem so golden!
5/2 137.0 I went to the Asian buffet yesterday for lunch - the first time since mid-December. Almost everything I ate was battered and fried. I ate too much. The anticipation was better than the anticipated. Leaving today for 2 nights just off The Strip prior to going to Long Beach. No scale, as far as I know and possibly no internet. I’ll keep journaling and will post when I hav a connection.
5/3 No scale but got 130% of my steps yesterday. Split a chef salad from Walmart with DH for lunch then had a fraction of my steak and green beans for dinner with a nice salad with blue cheese dressing. Did not sleep well last night, woke at 2:17AM finally got up, showered and dressed. Had coffee and read until 5:45 then decided to try sleeping again. Slept until 8:45. Weird.
5/4 No scale but haven’t had enough water or fat the last two days and did not sleep well again. Flying to LB today to cruise tomorrow.
5/5 No scale. Slept well. I have not been drinking enough water. I’m spoiled by my filtered water at home and tap water tastes awful!Cruise leaves this afternoon, be back on 5/12. I doubt that I’ll read all of the posts that I will miss in the first half of Round 40. I’ll miss my daily reading time but still be recording something every day although off line and will post when we get home. Love you all!

5/01 - 163 Gym day yesterday so down a bit. So thankful for my little local gym after reading comments on here. Lots of retired people if you go in the morning and so friendly and encouraging.
5/02 - 162.8 Gym today and gardening this afternoon, just have to not eat it back.
5/03 – 163.8 Was so good yesterday but did eat some very salty ham so maybe it’s water weight?
5/04 – 163 Usually go to the gym Fridays but have a tree to plant and other gardening stuff to do before my trip, so that will have to be my exercise. Too bad knitting doesn’t burn calories – have a lot of that to do to finish this baby blanket in time.
5/05 – 162.8 Lowest number I’ve seen since starting to lose weight. I’ve been there a couple of times – this time want to get it lower. Felt so great the first time I saw under 163 that I went to check what I’d been a year ago and realized I was 162ish. So in the first three months of losing weight, I lost what I’d gained over the last year. I guess that is good. I’ve been slowly gaining (about 5 # a year for the last 7 years or so).

Day/Weight/Comment
4/28 - 321.4 (-3.0) It's one heck of a start. I'm not even sure why the loss happened. I ate a good bit yesterday and the day before. I guess my metabolism is kicking in ways I don't know or it could be the getting up and moving once an hour for just a few minutes an hour. I'm not complaining, just curious so I can repeat it going forward.
4/29 - 320.2 (-1.2) Woohoo! It's still going down. It seems the moving around is still the key and reasonable eating. I'm not going crazy with food or motion. This is helping to keep Ed quiet as well. Quite interesting.
4/30 - 317.2 (-3.0) That's a pretty good drop. Ed's voice is pretty quiet lately and I have been eating better. I am sleeping alright. I feel pretty good these days. And drinking plenty of water, definitely plenty of water.
5/1- 316.2 (-1.0) Not so much exercise as it was just diet. I'm hoping for more exercise today, but nervous about activity while my aide is here today. I feel uncomfortable doing my walking in front of others, like I have to explain myself. I know it sounds silly, but there it is.
5/2 - 316.6 (+0.4) Not sure about the increase, but not worried about it as well. I weighed in at an earlier time which might explain it. No big deal.
5/3 - 317.6 (+1.0) No explanation for the increase other than it wasn't the same time of day, which I know does impact what the scale says. I'm not going to worry about it. I did well with my eating yesterday. I just need to stick with it, and I nailed my walking as well. I almost hit the active mark for my Fitbit for every hour except one, and that was just by a few steps. We'll see how it goes today.
5/4 - 314.6 (-3.0) I'm pleasantly surprised by the drop, likely drop of water as TOM draws closer to a close. I'm kept at my diet and hit my daily step goal. I don't know if I will hit my steps today given the time of day that I am coming fully around. I have some things that I need to do today, but my CSS wants to meet at 3:15 throwing a monkey wrench into the timing of things. Oh, well, there's tomorrow to work things out.
5/5 - 315.6 (+1.0) Probably from all the sodium from my wasabi peas binge yesterday. It's okay, the trend is still generally down for the month.

I'm back in (stopped logging mid challenge last time). I am just trying to work to be under 140 consistently AND to stay on track with not overeating and getting regular exercise. I am the same weight I was at the end of July 2017, so I see that I am struggling for almost a year to stay around the 140 mark. I get into the 130s and then I go on vacation or away for a day and downward spiral with the eating. The good thing is that I haven't steadily climbed up. This is work though. I think my warning siren goes off at or near the 150 mark for me, so I do need to keep getting on that scale and paying attention to how my clothes fit.
