Nothing works unless you have a sustained calorie deficit over time. Anything will work if you have a sustained calorie deficit over time.
Motivation is overrated. What you need is education, willingness to eat less, a good plan, and discipline to stick to it.

SW: 313.8 GW: 308.0 Ultimate Goal Weight: 190
Day/Weight/Comment
5/08 313.8 (-0.0) (My doctor is having me move to a low carb diet between 20 and 50 carbs. I've done it once before with success but then found my way back to white flour, sugar, and all of the other crap that seeps into my food choices. I'm looking forward to planning, focusing and dropping some weight. Would definitely appreciate any tips other low carb/keto folks have found useful.)
5/09 312.6 (-1.2) (First full day focused on low carb diet. Managed well. Not focusing on what I can't eat but rather on what I can enjoy.)
5/10 311.2 (-2.6) (Having done low carb before I know I'm going to hit a point where meat and protein doesn't sound appetizing and I just want a donut......focusing on planning, spacing out meals and making sure I'm focused on why I want to lose weight instead of just the task of losing weight.)
5/11 311.0 (-2.8) (Field trip day with the 1st grade. Took my carb-less foods for lunch. Found myself less hungry than I thought I would be. Got my 10k steps before we got home. Next big challenge will be this weekend at home with kids. Make good choices -- remember why this path is my focus.)
5/12 309.8 (-4.0) (Ah, Saturday at home. Dinner out with the family tonight and my parents for Mothers Day. The day is fraught with challenges to sabotage my low carb plan. Choice by choice, plan ahead for dinner with menu online, stay away from bread......so much easier to type than to do.)
5/13 307.6 (-6.2) (Survived Saturday. Dinner at a nice restaurant, reviewed the menu online, chose my meal before I went, even logged it into MFP. Didn't eat the bread, didn't look at dessert. Focused on the people and the conversations. There is hope. Sunday beckons.......)

I've been stuck losing and gaining the same 3 pounds for 2 months now. I am really hoping to finally break into the 140's soon.
5/09 151.8
I did my long run last night, and my muscles are a little sore so I think the gain may be water retention. I ate well yesterday, so Im not worried.
5/10 151.0
I am pleased with today's weigh in I am so hoping to be out of the 150's soon. It seems to take so long anymore.
5/11 149.6
What?!? I hope this isn't a fluke lol. I hate when I get a low weight, then it goes right back up the next day. What causes that anyway? dehydration maybe? I drank plenty of water yesterday, and went on a long run. I usually go up the day after a long run.
5/12 149.6
Wow, it stayed down
5/13 153.4
AAKK Ok, well, yesterday sucked. I over ate. I didnt over eat THAT much, but I had a lot of sodium. Oh well, back to it today. I bet I'll will come back down pretty quick.

5/08 95.9 I honestly don't understand what is going on… I'm eating under calories, getting my running in but it's impossible to shift this weight! Driving me nuts!
5/09 95.6 I would get excited about it going in the right direction but the last 2 rounds I managed to creep under 95, got excited and put it back on, so now I'll be constantly on the lookout for the bounce back!
5/10 95.1 usual up and down… wish it was just down…
5/11 95.1 happy as long as it doesn't go up!
5/12 94.9 I’m liking this… not sure it'll stick though, Eurovision tonight! But I have the snacks all planned out, all healthy veg and dips (I know to limit the dip!) But there will be prosecco as that is kinda the rule to have a fabulous drink while watching the fabulous Eurovision!

5/10—155.8. I knew I would be up, so today is a new start date of sorts for me. I’ve been taking a break for a couple weeks really, what with a camping trip with grandkids and then this conference with lots of great food. Time to get back to basics, get past the cravings that will come after the last few days of eating carbs, and start the trend going back down.
5/11 = 153.8 That’s a step in the right direction! Now to keep going back down.

1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
round 33 - start=215lbs end 202lbs
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# - goal obtained but maybe went a little to far. 187.8lbs ending weight.
Round 40 goal. – consistency
5/8 – 187lbs – this is the second day at this weight. Had fried chicken for lunch in hopes of upping my calories. Ended up fishing instead of having dinner.
5/9 188lbs – had Asian buffet to make up for missing dinner. Also had beer instead of whisky. I think this is a good number. Hope it’s the same tomorrow
5/10 – A very good life long friend (almost my twin) who has the same tendency’s to over indulge in all of life’s vices passed away last night of a heart attack. Only 50 years old. All I can think about is our habits of over eating, Drinking, and smoking.
5/11 – 189 – so much for consistency. 20.5% body fat. I would like to be in the teens.
5/12 – 188lbs - ate well but did have some undocumented nibbling on homemade chicken BBQ for wifes work party.
5/13 – 186lbs – I did not eat right yesterday.

5/08 181, had a low exercise/high calorie day yesterday and got it shows. Movement and water are my friends today.
5/09 181.7 Not going to freak out yet. Was within calorie goal but I think some of this is water retention from big exercise day.
5/10 179.9, 20K steps, stayed in calories, drank water minimum, limited calories after dinner
5/11 179, 12k steps, stayed in calorie goal including treats. Super pleased.
5/12 179.7, 12k steps, ate back some exercise calories. Lifted weights too.
5/13 179.7, slacker day. No change is actually a good thing considering I got about 5,000 steps and didn’t log

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.

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.
5/13 - 160.4 - I'm expecting to see an increase in the next couple days as the food at the wedding was delicious (though I really didn't over eat and I stayed away from dessert) and the open bar was even better so I'm sure the mixed drinks but my over my calories limit. I did do some dancing so hopefully that burnt some of the drink calories off. I was thinking about setting a new goal but I think I'll just try to maintain this weight for the rest of this round. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the mothers on here!!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/08: 172.0; stayed within my calorie goal and exercised! Carbs were a little high though
5/09: 170.6; hip hop Zumba yesterday killed me! Stayed within my calorie goal and drank lots of water. Also was able to avoid the temptation of Carby snacks in the teachers lounge. Hooray for NSV!
5/10: 170.6; I’m just happy I didn’t gain! Did T25 in the morning and drank all my water. Went out to eat for dinner and had a very hard time trying to find something within my calorie limit and was pressured (not really lol) to have a beer. NSV: got a lite beer and only drank half and saved half my meal for lunch the next day
5/11; 170.8; didn’t want to see the scale go up but it’s not too bad. Stayed under my calorie goal yesterday and met my minimum water goal. I did drink more caffeine than usual and sat majority of the work day. NSV: I didn’t dip into the candy bowl or go across the mall get pretzels at work!
5/12: 170.8; shocked to see this number stay the same because I over indulged last night. I had pizza, lite beer, chips, and those hard seltzer water things and thought for sure I’d see a 1lb gain. Maybe tomorrow but today I’m happy about maintaining. NSV: I only ate 2 pieces of pizza instead of my usual 3-4!
5/13: 171.6; I knew it would rise! I stayed under my calorie goal but with high sodium foods, dairy, and carbs. And I didn’t get all my water in. It’s all good tho, it will come off. NSV: I am officially one pant size smaller.

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!
5/13 198.6 NSV Found that a small protein snack and browsing this thread is a great way to wait out the cravings!

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 staying at my calorie goal. I might try lowering my carbs today to see if that gets things moving in the right direction.
5/12 – 159 Finally moving in the right direction!
5/13 – 158.2 Back to where I started this round! I’ve made pound cake, banana nut bread, and peanut butter cookies over the last couple of days and have managed not to eat over my calorie allotment, so I’m pretty pleased with myself.

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.

Day/Weight/Calories Day Before (aiming for 1430 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.

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!
5/12 - 150 - 1811 (10-day ave 1607)
A bit of a slip yesterday -- Fazolli's for dinner, and yes, I had the breadsticks. So higher calories and a LOT more salt than usual. But we closed on our house - yay! Back on the wagon.
5/13 - 150.2 - 1435 (10-day ave 1517)
Doing better hitting food goals, and my 10-day averages are slowly approaching my daily goal. Weight will follow. I'd be giddy to hit my R39 end weight by the end of this round, but whatever happens, happens.

•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, bone, muscle.

5/08 206.6 Good luck in this challenge, everyone! You can do it!
5/09 206.1
5/10 206.6 My usually dependable scale has gone wonkie today! When I first stepped on it, it gave me a reading about 5 pounds higher than yesterday…so I stepped on it again and it gave me a reading 3 pounds lighter than yesterday. I flipped it over to make sure nothing was sticking to it on the bottom…..but it was still giving me wonkie readings each time. So, I’m hoping it just needs fresh batteries. When I’m out and about today, I’ll pick some up. Hopefully I won’t be needing a new scale because I really like this one. Anyway, I’m putting today’s weight the same as my start weight for this challenge. Sleeping at my nurse daughter’s tonight to take care of her kids so no weighing in tomorrow AM. I’ll be back to weigh in on Saturday AM. Till then, be good everyone!
5/11 No scale this AM
5/12 205.2 Ok….scale with fresh batteries no longer acting wonkie…and I’m home. True test to my commitment to losing weight….we had pizza for dinner last night and I only ate 1 slice! Best part...I was satisfied with just 1 slice….didn’t even think about having another. Win!

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.

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.
5/12 = 192.6 (no change). Had a normal day yesterday. Ate within plan for breakfast and lunch, and had dinner out (guacamole bacon lettuce wrap). All macros good. It's raining and but I'm about to get on my motorcycle to go to the gym and play basketball. I'm going to a party today, but I'm going to eat breakfast and lunch before I'm going, and I'm confident that I can tolerate whatever comes up.
5/13 = 192.2 (-0.4). Played basketball, and didn't hurt my back. I had a good day eating breakfast and lunch, and ate fine for dinner at wife's aunt's birthday party until dessert showed up. I really have to have a "no dessert" policy if I want to do this Keto thing consistently right. Or I can bring my own Keto-friendly dessert. Hmm. People are telling me I look skinny. Someone asked me last night if I could coach them on weight loss. I'm wondering how much further I want to take this. I think 185 will be good, but we'll see when I get there. My scale says my body fat is down to 15.7%. I definitely have some work to do in that area.

R39: AW 219.86
R40: SW: 219.3
I made a goal for the last round and I found it really motivated me, so I'm going to put a goal out there again.
Goal for this round: Average weight in the 218's
Day/Weight/Comment
5/08--219.7 Still water weight from lunch on Sunday. After the last round I now recognize that it can take my body up to 3 days to release water weight from excess sodium.
5/09--218.9 Going to kettlebell tonight.
5/10--219.1 Had a really tough kettebell workout yesterday and I was so busy at work that I didn't drink a lot of water. Got to get water in today.
5/11--219.1 Holding steady. Kettlebell tonight.
5/12--218.9 Sore from tough kettlebell workout yesterday. Working to stay in the 218's for the rest of round. Need to make sure to drink water this weekend.
5/13--219.7 HA! Ironic that when I just say yesterday that I want to stay in the 218's for the rest of the round my weight goes back up to the highest weight of this round. No more weight goals for me, I will just work at it day to day and let the scale do what it wants to do.
