    Day/Weight/Comment:

    5/08 199.4 morning workout done
    5/09 199 going to start today with a long walk - I've noticed i feel less hungry on days when I get more exercise. Don't quite understand that. I don't eat back my exercise calories - but it's a win win so I'll take it !
    5/10 199 Yesterday was a beautiful day, lots of walking in the sunshine - and a 3 hour choir practice.
    5/11 198.8 if slow and steady truly wins the race - I'm in contention.
    5/12 198.8 I'm happy with that. Didn't eat as well yesterday. One of my students brought me homemade cranberry and orange scones. Delicious! but, over my calorie and carb goals and now I am having carb cravings. Must stay focused today!

    @DebCountsAll I wish T25 was on Netflix! I was referring to the beach body on-demand subscription. They have hundreds of great at home workouts that you can play from anywhere.

    •5/8 - 203.2 - Smh. Once again retaining water. I reach a lower weight and my body won't let me enjoy it more than one day.
    •5/9 - 203.2
    •5/10 - 202.4 - My weight adventure. Still retaining fluid.

    •5/11 - 201.2 - No comment on this number until tomorrow.

    •5/12 - 202 - Had another small decrease in bodyfat. I don't know about accuracy on a body composition scale, but it does give insight to changes in fat/water percentages. I've noticed that when my weight drops and I've lost a bit of fat, the water% goes up. The scales tale behind the whoosh?

    So, don't get discouraged if you're doing everything right for yourself. Your body is doing its job keeping everything in balance. It doesn't care if you're frustrated. Your weight is fat, fluid, skin, bone, muscle.

    Round 40
    My 5th round!

    Round 36 - SW 167 EW 168
    Round 37 - SW 168.2 EW 166.6
    Round 38 - SW 166.6 EW 165.2
    Round 40 - SW 165.2 EW 163.6

    SW - 172 on 1/14/18
    CSW - 163.6
    CEW - 161.6
    UGW - 130

    Day/Weight/Comment

    5/08 - 163.8 - A little bit of an increase but I was expecting it, I always gain a little when I don't drink enough water and the past couple days I haven't. Going to up my water intake today and get a walk in this evening. Wasn't able to walk yesterday like I wanted to, husband came home from work with a trailer full of mulch so I spent the evening weeding and laying mulch instead. Granted that's a work out of its own. Looking forward to this new round and getting that much closer to my ultimate goal weight.

    5/09 - 163.8 - Been around this weight for quite a few days now so I'm hoping to see a drop soon. I've been getting well over my steps goal (10,000) the past few days and my food has been good, haven't been eating back any of my exercise calories. My water intake is down still though, for some reason I've been having a hard time drinking as much as I was which I find weird, you'd think I'd want to drink more as it's getting very warm out.

    5/10 - 164.4 - Well crap! I wanted the scale to move and that it did but it went in the wrong direction... I think it's because I've been bad with drinking water the past few days, was a lot better drinking my water today though and my food has been good, even though I had to mentally slap my hand away from grabbing unhealthy snacks yesterday. Kicked myself out of the house so I wouldn't munch. I'm hoping this number won't stick around too long, fingers crossed. Getting a walk in this evening and and have a healthy dinner planned out.

    5/11 - 162.6 - There's the drop! Glad yesterday's weight didn't decide to stick around and hopefully doesn't reappear. Drank lots of water yesterday, got a 40 minute walk in while the kids had soccer practice and enjoyed my healthy dinner. Starting to plan weekend meals now so I don't ruin my hard work and and can meet my goal for this round.

    5/12 - 160.4 - I don't know where these big drops are coming from but please continue! I've reached my goal at this weight but I'll wait a day or two and make sure it's going to stick around before I set a new goal for this round. Today's been good so far, lots of water, healthy breakfast and lunch but I have a wedding to go to tonight so hopefully I can resist some of the badder but oh so yummy foods. Hope to see a good number tomorrow by continuing good choices today.

    Goal: Release 2 lbs per round. I won't reach my goal of onederland by Memorial Day weekend with this goal, but I'd rather reach it late than never!
    Ultimate Goal: 175 lbs, reevaluate at that point

    May:
    8: 208.5... I'm down 7.4 pounds of water weight since I started a few days late last round. I'm feeling really good about being back on track!
    9: 208.5
    10: 209... Not bad considering the late, high sodium dinner and low water intake for the day.
    11: 206.9... Did really well yesterday. Plenty of water, and I think drinking a homemade iced vanilla matcha latte every morning is helping with the weight release.
    12: No weigh in today. Left home way too early in the morning for my daughter's soccer games over an hour away. I'm not off to a great start foodwise, but I don't feel the need to go overboard just because I've started out eating gas station food. I feel like that's a victory for me. I may end up a little over my calories, but I'm going to try not to.

    5/12--177.2 I'm okay with this. Ate a little over my calories yesterday. Today is my college graduation!!! Going to Pilates this morning and then I just have to make sure not to overindulge at the party my boss is throwing for me.

    Congratulations on your graduation!!

    Female, 35, 5’6”
    Starting weight: 158.2
    Goal #1: 150
    Ultimate Goal: 135

    5/08 – 158.2 I’ve been losing weight for a little bit now, but this is my first time participating in this challenge so I’m going to pretend like it’s day 1 of my weight loss journey. I’m looking forward to the accountability this will provide!
    5/09 – 158.6 Yesterday was not a good day on the eating front! I don’t know why I bought that bag of Starbursts, but it was a definitely a mistake. Not doing that again. If I have to have Starbursts, I’ll stick with the smaller packs. It’s a brand new day though and I’m excited about getting back on track.
    5/10 – 158.8 I got back on track, but the scale didn’t get the memo! No worries.
    5/11 – 159.4 Disappointing after doing really well yesterday and the day before staying at my calorie goal. I might try lowering my carbs today to see if that gets things moving in the right direction.

    I'm considering this round a pivot point since it ends on our move-into-new-house day. I've been lax in my calorie limits, and that's going to stop. I've reset my allowance and am dropping most bread from my diet. I'm also finally getting back to regular walks and weight training. I'm not keen on weight goals since I can't control the scale, but I'm determined to stick to my eating and exercise goals now and will hope to drop a pound per round (3/month) with an eye to hitting my UGW by early December.

    Goals:
    Weight ~~ UGW - 130; looking for indefinite downward trend each round, ideally 1 pound/round.
    Food ~~ 1350 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 15-25%, C 35-50%, F 30-45%

    Weight 2/2015 - 218
    Lost 68#, regained 12 (to 156) on metabolism reset 11/16-6/17.
    Spoiler
    R39 end weight 149.8; averages -- calories 1753.5; carbs ~47%; protein ~20%; fat ~33%

    Day/Weight/Calories Day Before (aiming for 1350 starting 5-8)/Comment

    5/8 - 150.8 - 1647 (10-day ave 1791)
    First day, new round, revised approach. I'm up a little, no surprise, but I've finally shaken off this horrible cold and most of the cough, so I feel more like walking/exercising. Yay! Happy to see you all!

    5/9 - 150.6 - 1256 (10-day ave 1732)
    Good day yesterday! I cut my calories without feeling deprived, went for two lovely walks, and started packing. Feeling very positive - and the sunny morning doesn't hurt!

    5/10 - 150.6 - 1315 (10-day ave 1653)
    A little disappointed not to see a drop but, in fairness, it's only been 2 days since I cut back after a week + of higher calories and my 10-day average is still higher than it should be, so the drop will come. I feel much more in control.

    5/11- 150.5 - 1505 (10-day ave 1605)
    We were invited to brunch yesterday and I had no idea the strata she served was VERY high in calories - over 900/serving :-( until she sent me the recipe later. Yike! So I went a little over my goal yesterday, although not too bad - 155. Back on track today, although we'll be going out for dinner as our house closing is at 4 o'clock. But I'll watch it!

    5/09 - 162.2 (Yesterday wasn't a fab day - not horrible, just not my best - and so I'm surprised to see it go down. No complaints though, lol.)

    5/10 - 162.4 (Apparently we're just gonna hang out right around this weight for a few days. And I have a sneaking suspicion why.)

    5/11 - 162.4 (Suspicion confirmed. Now to not let it get the better of me when deciding what to eat. LOL)

    I didn't realize until a few minutes ago that I'm more than 50 lbs down from my heaviest weight (January 2015). When I see 190 again, my weight will be lower than it's been since high school. Life is working, and I'm just going to take another moment to thank everyone here for everything. This place has allowed me to sit with whatever it is that's been bothering me. It's given me space to really examine how I've been living my life, especially the pattern(s) that have been derailing me from previous success. I feel so much more prepared to deal with life than I was a few months ago, and this group has everything to do with that. I'm blessed to have you in my life, and I love each and every one of you.

    Age: 46
    Height 5’11”
    Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs

    R39 SW = 196.8 EW = 194.2 (-2.6) AW = 195.8 (-1.3)

    Total loss (since 1/14/18, but before this round): 25.8 lbs
    Average weight loss per round: 2.28 lbs

    R40 SW = 194.2
    Goal for this round: 193.0

    Day/Weight/Comment

    5/8 = 194.0 (-0 2). I finally went shopping on Sunday night, and I actually food prepped last night. I made a sausage and pepper soup (delicious) and a bacon frittata (also delicious). Tonight I'm getting some new cookware that I need in order to finish my food prep: a chicken casserole thingy. Lots of work getting it done, but it felt good. And it's great not having to stress about where I'm getting my next meal. And it tastes good!!! 4 more days until I can resume basketball/lifting weights, but I might cheat a couple of days early and play Thursday.

    5/9 = 194.2 (+0.2). I stayed "on plan" last night, but impulsively had another serving of dinner. And then a little bit of dark chocolate. I was on-target with carbs, but over everywhere else. Snacked a bit to much during the day, which left me with very little wiggle room at the end of the night. I really wasn't hungry; it was impulsive. Moment noted. I'm not going to dwell. My tattoo is looking/feeling pretty healed. I'm going to take a pic of it, send it to my artist, and ask for permission to play basketball tomorrow. Focusing on avoiding snacking when I'm not hungry today.

    5/10 = 193.6 (-0.6). A tiny WHOOSH™. I literally overate slightly last night, so there's no other explanation. Overeating slightly is eating my prepared food, and then my wife comes home and says she wants tacos (which includes fresh chips and guac) from a local place. I get a skirt steak burrito with no refried beans and extra steak. I throw away the tortilla, throw some guac on top, and that was my snack. I also had lunch out for my friend's birthday, and had a salad with tuna salad, avocado, and Caesar dressing. Everything I ate for the day was Keto-friendly. It is getting easier. It really feels like I can do this long-term. I'm playing basketball tonight!!! And lifting weights.

    5/11 = 192.6 (-1.0). A regular ole' WHOOSH­™. I don't understand it, but I'll take it. I drove about 30 minutes to play basketball last night after lifting weights, and the high school I play at apparently decided to setup the gym with tables and chairs for something, so no basketball last night. Infuriating. I was out in the field for work yesterday and decided to stop at Panda Express for lunch. I made the mistake of not checking carbs before eating my food; I now know that Teriyaki Chicken (with no sauce) has 11 carbs, and whatever the Steak option is has 16 carbs. I probably ingested less carbs than that; I didn't eat all the vegetables in my steak dish (only the ones I know are Keto-friendly), and I pretty much ignored my vegetable side. It was an important lesson, though; trust no one! Plus, if I'm being honest, I did some math in my head when I was ordering, and I probably should have figured it out. I knew total calories, I knew protein content, and I could have probably extrapolated the fat/carb macros. Not to mention I could have just plugged everything in to one of my handy dandy apps that does all that crap for me automatically. Anyhoo... I ate great the rest of the day (ended up with 36 net carbs), so the damage was minimized, but YEAH. And somehow I still dropped a pound. On a side note, my wife is getting jealous at my continued weight loss. I'm trying not to influence her directly in any way (which is unusual for me), but I think she's coming around to it on her own.

    I think you have a great point here. You're definitely being too hard on yourself.

    At some point in your experience you might even enjoy a day when your weight stays the same (when you didn't expect that to happen). You've embarked on a journey, and you're doing great. Enjoy your "streaks" (like this one) when you lose weight every day for a bunch of days in a row. Pay attention to plateaus (or unpleasant surprises in the other direction), and recognize them as opportunities to reflect on what you've been doing, to identify potential issues that might be holding you back, so that you can keep moving forward.

    This is going to be a long journey. We're with you. Being here and staying accountable EVERY DAY has been life-changing for me. I hope it will be for you, too.

    This is my first round. I Started dieting last may lost 22 kg before desember. Then I stopped logging. Didnt gain before easter. And then I guess I just thought hey I have masterd this I can just eat without thinking because now I know what is enough. But I guess I was thinking more about what I was eating before easter because 5 kg jumped on so I am back to logging.
    SW 92
    Sw round 40 :73.2 kg
    Gw round 40:71.2kg
    Ug: 62 kg

    5/08 73.2
    5/09 73.4 I am watching secret eaters. I am definetly a chop and pop and a grazer. But no worries I work in a kitchen so there is plenty of things that I can eat without beeing aware. I have a plate of fruit . Trying to grab that instead of cheese and choclate.
    5/10 72.9 realising ten days is not to weeks. My goal is not really realitic. But hey I will get as close as i can. Loads of things happenings in this tread.
    5/11 72.4 Today I over ate. Had to go shopping for shoes to the little ones. We bought pizza itis so easy to eat my half of the pizza just out of habbit. Need to learn to leave food on plate when dinning out.

    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. Changed MFP setting 5/5/18 to 1/2# per week loss ~ within 10# of UGW, weight loss had stalled 3 months + was feeling hungry more often.
    MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145 / no goal dates ~ I get there when I get there
    Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14 :star:

    My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

    05/02: 154.5 Stuck with meal plans but Snacked. Too. Much. on almonds (before supper) & veggies straws (late evening). At least those snacks are out of the house. Forced myself to log (guesstimates) ~ ack! Net calories, sodium & sugar RED, fiber & protein good & 15c water. Rest day / Fitbit 9,129 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 40 floors.
    05/03: 154.0 Fitbit 7,411 steps, 250+ 12/14 (spa night) & 25 floors. Stuck with meal/snack plan except finished snappea crisps for evening snack (unplanned) ~ net calories -208, sodium -358, fiber ok, sugar green, protein good & 15c water. Close enough for unplanned rest day (overslept alarm).
    05/04: 154.5 Evening social event & self-control not so much... Oh well, oops. At least I got up from table to remove myself from further damage. No idea how to log some, used quick add... needless to say net calories, sodium & sugar all RED. 15c water anyway. Walked dog before work / 3.4 mi 59:49 pace 17:34 / happy dog & happy me. Fitbit 15,969 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 35 floors ~ hoping I can move up the leaderboard of workplace step challenge.

    05/07: 154.0 Liking change in daily calories with new setting ~ don't feel as hungry. Net calories green, sugar -5, sodium -547, fiber & protein good & 14c water. Walked dog 3.81 mi 1:08:03 pace 17:55. Yard work (lots of bending & hauling).

    05/08: 154.0 Did ok all day, stuck w/ prelogged meals & snacks, and net calories w/i limit... then late evening snacking on walnut halves ~ ack!!! Really liking my new calorie limit, but need to figure out what to do about snack attacks ~ I never used to. Rest day ~ Fitbit 10,194 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 30 floors.

Fitbit 16,402 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 54 floors ~ evening, packed 3 boxes of Easter decorations & stored in basement ~ yes, I still had Easter decorations out.
    05/10: 153.5 I think changing my MFP setting to 1/2# per week, and having more net calories to play with, is agreeing with me. Net calories -15, sodium -721, sugar -19 (mostly fruit, power muffin & yogurt), fiber excellent, protein good & 14c water. Walked dog before work in off + on sprinkles + beat the rain / 3.43 mi 1:01:05 / remembered to stretch. Fitbit 16,489 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 46 floors. Workplace step challenge ~ currently in 31st place / top 30 women get prize at 10-week point... too bad leader board combines men & women, and everyone is listed by code number with no gender identification.
    05/11: 154.0 Net calories -85, sodium -517, sugar -13, fiber & protein good & 14c water. Walked dog after work 3.42 mi 59:43. Fitbit 13,538 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 & 41 floors.
    05/12: 153.5 Rest day / Fitbit 9,134 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 33 floors. Net calories -156, sodium green (yay), sugar -12, protein good, fiber excellent & 14c water, so not too bad for rest day.

    First Round!

    F, 54, 5' 6"
    OSW - 186 (March 2018)

    5/08 174 - I’ve been stuck between 173 and 175 for 2 weeks. I hope this helps get me to 172.5
    5/09 172 - Well that was quick, but knowing my body and my scale, I'll bet I go back up tomorrow.
    5/10 172.5 - As expected, I'm a little up this morning. But as long as I can end this round at 172 or 172.5, I'll count this round as a win!
    5/11 173.5 - After I cursed at the scale this morning, since I have stayed on plan all week, I threw on a pair of pants I haven't worn in about a month. I knew right away they felt different. Lo and behold, I didn't have my little muffin top! It will be these little things that keep me going through these plateaus.
    5/12 172.5 - I'm happy with this. I had pizza for supper tonight so we'll see if the sodium causes a problem tomorrow. I'm still within my calorie limit.

    OSW: 203 (1st April 2018)

    End R37: 196.8 (-4.4)
    End R38: 191.8 (-5.0)
    End R39: 190.2 (-1.6)

    R40 Goal: Under 189

    Day/Weight/Comment
    5/08 -- 190.4 I know that I've been comfortably within plan, so this isn't bothering me. I'm just sitting patiently waiting for my whoosh. :)
    5/09 -- 189.2 And there it is! I hope the bounce back isn't too bad this time; that's what really flattened me last round (no, it was nothing to do with toffee pecan ice cream, why do you ask?!)
    5/10 -- 188.2 Finally back on track. I hope that my numbers drop for a few days more before I hit bounce back.
    5/11 -- 187.2 The irony is that I'm not doing anything different from last round, when I struggled to hold even. This weight loss business is a long game.
    5/12 -- 185.6 I've now passed my "I will *never* let myself get this heavy again" top weight from 2013. Onwards. I expect the bounce-back to start any day.
    5/13 -- 185.2 Whoosh is slowing down, which is fine with me. I'm starting to get nervous about how big the bounce back is going to be. I've had a really good run.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    5/07 - 64.3kg (-0.4kg)
    5/08 - 64.1kg (-0.2kg) - Hungry day yesterday but to be expected on the first day back on the wagon.
    5/09 - 63.9kg (-0.2kg) - I feel that's undeserved but I've got a horrible cold so perhaps it's dehydration.
    5/10 - 64.1kg (+0.2kg) - Expected. Re-hydrated and can only stomach carbs with this cold. 64.1 is ok. Looking to be in the 63s early next week once I am all better.
    5/11 - 63.9kg (-0.2kg) - Bouncing around! Would be great to stay under 64 now. Gotta work a bit harder than I have been though.
    5/12 - 63.8kg (-0.1kg) - I'm not logging at the moment but my "make better choices" approach seems to be doing ok.
    5/13 - 63.7kg (-0.1kg) - Only 200g to goal for this round so I'm feeling motivated! Lots of landscaping at home and hard physical work in my job at the moment looks to be helping!
