Round 39
Round 2 for me
F 50 5'4"
SW: 220
Round 38 EW: 218 (-2)
GW: 150
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.
5/6 - 215, I was doing pretty good yesterday ... until someone cracked open the Moscatto. A few more visitors coming today to help put the dock in and bearing mesquite chicken. Making some lighter side dishes to go with it. Looks like another beautiful day!
5/7
A reminder for those days when the struggle is real:
Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
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?:)
5/06 146 so sick of gaining. Going to try to increase water and not eat junk food.

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%

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.
5/06 - 149.8 - 1839 (past 7 days ave 1792; 10 days 1692)
We went out to eat yesterday and I ended up going over, but I also walked a bit, so I guess it evened out. I finally seem to be shaking this cold and cough, and I'm going for a nice, long walk.

GW: 141
Day/Weight/Comment
4/28 144.4 ~ (Steps 16,689) - Yesterday was an extremely day with my exercises and my food...We went out to eat for lunch and dinner but my healthy choices made the difference in the scale...
4/29 142.7 ~ (Steps 14,275) Longgggg day but I didn’t emotionally eat which was a plus in my book,
4/30 142.4 ~ (Steps 10,325) I spent the day with my grandkids, son and daughter! I was able to keep under my calorie goal plus hit the gym before they close.
5/01 143.3 ~ (Steps 21,968) I did keep under my calorie goal just wasn’t the healthy meals,
5/02 144.3 ~ (Steps 19,613) again with the scale going the wrong way
5/03 145.1 ~ (Steps 19,980) I don’t understand I did everything right
5/04 143.4 ~ (Steps 14,381) At last the scale is stable now.......
5/05 143.6 ~ Steps 14,156) Today was a hard day trying to stay motivated.....

SW 165.6 (4/23)
GW 135
Spoiler
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.)
5/6 162.4 (And I am shocked. Yesterday was a company family picnic, so no way to know what was in the food or how much really I was eating. And I totally did dessert too. I'm guessing all the walking around while there counteracted it, or I'm just getting better at knowing how much to grab. I did log for the food I ate, but it was all guessing. Now I just need to stay on track today for the final weigh tomorrow morning! )

I started this challenge at round 27, at 227.8. I ended round 38 at 194. That is a 33 pound loss! I love this challenge! It goes against everything I USED to believe about weighing in daily, and has taught me to really listen to my body, not get discouraged by small set backs, and to celebrate the small victories!

4/30 / 259.0 / I am still working my plan. I didn’t get as much water in yesterday as normal.
5/01 / 259.8 / I think this is water retention. I am wearing a ring that is tight although it wasn’t when I was in the 260s. I got my water in yesterday and ate within my plan.

5/03 / 258.4 / I didn’t think I had allergies. I do.
5/04 / 258.4 / Heading out to a winery today. It is really easy to limit consumption since a pour is 1 oz.
5/05 / 258.4 / I counted each pour as 1 ounce even though they were all ¾ ounce. My husband made dinner…and it was far too salty. He even pointed it out.

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.
5/6 - 315.8 (+0.2) It's likely waste weight due to bowel issues. My eating was good, my exercise not so much but I was well under my caloric goal yesterday. I may need to take a laxative today. I have an errand I need to run and laundry to do today. I should also work on cleaning some as well. I saw my grandmother yesterday, and we walked around outside enjoying the warm weather, then sat for awhile. I miss having her just one floor below me. Her birthday is coming up this Thursday and then Mother's Day in one week. Lots of planning to do and keeping everything else, including not losing sight of my fitness goals this week!

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).
5/06 – 162.8 again, hoping for less but better than up! Off on a 10 day trip tomorrow to help daughter 8 mos. pregnant pack & clean for a move. Looking forward to seeing the grandkids and lots of visiting while working.

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.
5/06 = 194.0 (-2.8). SWOOSH™ (weight loss due to sickness). I got sick yesterday morning, and it lasted just about a day (I suspect food poisoning). But I didn't feel like eating (I barely did), I didn't feel like drinking (I forced down about 90 oz), and I didn't do anything but lay around and/or sleep. The good news is that I feel better today, so my plan to shop and food prep is on. 6 more days until my tattoo heals enough for basketball and lifting weights. A side note. I checked my body fat for the first time since starting Keto. I've lost 8.6 lbs, and 1.6% body fat.

4/28 - 127.8 - yesterday under calories and at least got 8K steps
4/29 - 127.2 - yesterday under calories and 11K steps, no actual workout though
4/30 - 127.8 - yesterday significantly over calories and very few steps. Just a bit of an emo day. I really do not do well when my regular workout partner (hubs) isn't well ... he has asthma so he gets a bye, me, just emo and unfocused.
5/1 - 129.2 - and DESERVED. If it had sugar in it and was not nailed down, I ate it yesterday. Horrifying. I am still eating like I was on vacation and getting 15-25K steps a day, and with an acquired taste for sugary "energy" foods like was able to get away with on the trip, while I sit at my desk and am frustrated with people and try to catch up on projects. Post vacation Whoops got me big time!!
So here is the plan:
log every bite today CHECK
Get a workout today CHECK well it was in my living room, but yes
Walk on breaks, get 5K steps by 5PM ALMOST, got 4800
and 40 flights ALMOST, got 31
Start my journal pages for May which will help me with daily goals AT LEAST DID MAY 1
5/2 - 128.0 - yesterday well under calories, 10K steps, and no pre-bedtime sugar; see my progress report above
5/3 - 128.4 - yesterday under calories, 11K steps including a knockout trail run/hike with some elevation gain (I walk when my hr hits the red zone)
5/4 - 127.8 - yesterday huge smashing headache, came home and slept, ate too many foods, and only walked 3K steps
5/5 - 128.6 - yesterday 10K steps including a really warm and windy run of 3.5 miles. Over calories though and did not log. Back at it today.
5/6 - 129.6 - yesterday under steps, over calories. Dang having a hard time getting back into my routines.

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!
5/6 / 234.4 / I would be happy if I ended up here tomorrow, but I just had Chinese food which was within calories but a sodium nightmare. We shall see!

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.
5/06 - 163.6 - Didn't weigh myself until about 4 this afternoon as we decided to a last minute overnight trip just a couple hours from home yesterday and I didn't have a scale this morning. Got lots of hiking in but not enough water. Trying to catch up on water now and as I didn't log anything yesterday or today I'm hoping I didn't go over calories any. Eating was pretty good though, all home cooked foods and no snacking besides a handful of a spicy peanut mix. Looking forward to tomorrow and the final weigh in of this challenge.
