Day/Weight/Comment
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!

5/08 151.4
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.

Wow, it stayed down

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.)

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.

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.

5/08 181, had a low exercise/high calorie day yesterday and 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.

8/5 - 210 - gained after an indulgent bank holiday weekend! But had a lot of fun! Ready to lose it now
9/5 - 208.8 - still up 2lbs from last week, but already feeling better dropping some of the water weight from the weekend! Ready for a great day today and hopefully will get back down to 206.8 by the end of this challenge
10/5 - 206.6 - final whoosh after the weekend. Had a great day yesterday with my food, and I'm not feeling bloated any more today. I've been easing back into exercise with yoga each day, but need to step it up a bit for the rest of this challenge.
11/5 - 206.4 - really not sure what's going on, but I won't complain! Had a carb feast yesterday, after eating lower carb earlier in the week to try to get the water weight off, so I was expecting a gain on the scale. Maybe it will show later in the week, so I won't get too excited yet! Grateful to be part of this challenge and getting daily motivation from you all, thank you. Keep doing great!
12/5 - 206.6 - back up a little, but I’m not phased. I’ve been staying on track with my eating. Still need to up the exercise, but this is the first time in a while I’ve been consistently good with my eating, so I won’t be too hard on myself!

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 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!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/08 - 205.2 - Ah yes, the Tuesday morning drop. Was good on water yesterday. Calories were set to be on target but I could not resist the bag of oreos. I had 2, then wanted to eat more, so I had 2 more. Logged it and moved on. I was exhausted from a super busy weekend and crashed early. I was a little disheartened this morning at the thought of eating the same lunch yet again. So, I'll be brainstorming some new lunch and snack ideas so I don't stumble back to fast foods. Dinners have not changed too much other than subbing out refined carbs for better grain choices; low carb multi grain tortillas, quinoa, etc. Tonight I'll make a big batch of thai quinoa salad and DH will grill a few pounds of chicken and sausage so we have a few days lunches as well. Scales may not move tomorrow but I suspect if I'm good on hydration there should be a downward trend toward the end of the week. Remember, slow steady loss is good! Don't get ahead of yourself, just one day at a time. Possible mini vaca to visit dad in FL with DH in June, so that is more motivation to stick to my June goal.
5/09 - 204.4 - I was SO dehydrated this morning and I'm not sure what happened - I was good on water throughout the day and ate well. But alas, I woke up with a headache, yellower than normal 1st morning pee, and was not expecting that number. I already feel better after a few glasses of water. Strange. Anyway - Florida visit is a definite now, so I need a bathing suit. And its just a little bit more incentive to stick to the plan. Thai quinoa salad last night was amazing and I'm looking forward to lunch today! I'm looking forward to my future in general too - and that is a great feeling!
5/10 - 204.4 - Not dehydrated this morning and the number stuck around, so thats cool! Moving my office today/tomorrow/ and possibly coming in Saturday so I should have an active few days ahead of me. Parents are also finally closing on the new house (yay!) so I'm sure we will be assisting in some moving over the next few weeks. Planned a lighter lunch today - dinner for mothers day with mom and meme tonight and not sure what/where we are eating so planning for some wiggle room. Need a few things at the grocery store this evening to help keep on track. Weather is beautiful. My car was coated in pollen this morning so need to be mindful of allergies, be proactive with medicine and get some more honey at Sholan. And as always, WATER WATER WATER! I'm happy to see my goal weight for this round already. But, given past trends I expect to go up again over the weekend before dropping mid next week. This round ends on a wednesday and thats usually my lowest weigh in day, so we will see!
5/11 205.2 - Mothers day dinner last night - skipped the pasta and had shrimp crostini and ceaser salad. So salty but a win nonetheless because it wasnt a pound of pasta! Moving offices at work - so much more physical activity than usual and much less water than usual. Another super active day with not enough water followed by more celebrations. Stayed in the green for cals. I actually enjoy seeing the same number two days in a row sometimes.
5/12 205.2 - At work again moving final things, got my smoothie and water ready to go. Happy weekend!!!

5/08 - 216, not the greatest start but the craziness is over for a few days. Just a few, fishing opener this coming weekend but ... I have refused to cook for everyone because it's also Mothers Day. Funny how that takes the back seat to a FISH.

5/09 - 215, rainy day. I don't mind. Everything will be greener tomorrow.

5/10 - 215

5/11 - 215, blah. Chilly today. Hope the work day goes fast. I may be in need of a few days off.

5/12 - 214, Friday free day is over. Driving into the cities today to take my mom to lunch. Thinking I'll stop at the garden store on my way back and maybe plant flowers tomorrow since I won't get to see my daughter and grand daughters. I wish they weren't 3 hours away! They'll be up at the lake with me Memorial weekend. Can't come soon enough!

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.

5/08 206.6 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. That's a win!

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.
