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.

5/14 154.4
What? I didnt even over eat... Oh well. I guess its just I'll just wait and see.

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. Parents finally moved into new house so we were up there checking out the new digs til late. Ordered takeout for dinner - modified my usual turkey burger with fries to turkey burger with coleslaw and it fit! (with my exercise cals)
5/12 205.2 - At work again moving final things, got my smoothie and water ready to go. Happy weekend!!! Came home around noon time and crashed. Went to grocery store in afternoon for a few things. Picked up some thin n trim buffalo chicken to try something different and its great! homemade sausage pepper onion and potatoes for dinner and ate some cupcakes that I made for mothers day that put me over cals but at maintenance around 2000 cals.
5/13 205.2 - Again! Not even upset to see the same number 3 days in a row. I've been eating at maintenance this weekend and making better choices while still enjoying the things I love. Today was lobster mac and cheese because we had to make a trip to the airport so we stopped at our favorite seaport restaurant...then back home to pick up the dog, and more driving around to see MIL. Back home and recieved a phone call that friends were in the area so we met up for an impromptu dinner date. Cesar salad and ahi tuna. YUMMY. Dinner was loooong and they comped us dessert, but I only had half!
5/14 206.8 - Ah yes, there it is. Again, not upset - to be expected. It was a "bad" weekend - typically I'd unravel at my first off the rails encounter. But I'm taking this one in stride. My weight stayed the same Friday-Sunday, but I saw a slight increase today. Too be expected after eating at maintenance all weekend. I still made better choices than I would have previously - I indulged a bit but not every time. Reminding myself that "Just cause your popped one tire does not mean go slash the other three." Don't remember where I heard that but its so relevant for me! And actually it was a GOOD weekend! Family time - a rest day - and an unexpected visit from some friends. Back in the saddle today. Managed to meal prep eggs, quinoa and bean salad, chicken and steak last night and I'm still hopeful I can reach my goal in the next 3 days.

Yay another person who doesn't enjoy workouts! I'd rather sit on my behind and scroll through people's posts. LOL

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 ~~ 1430 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 15-25%, C 35-50%, F 30-45%

Weight 2/2015 - 218

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!

5/12 - 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.

5/14 - 150 - 1472 (10-day ave 1536)
This all seems completely logical to me, and I'll be interested to see what happens when my 10-day averages are finally more in line with my daily goal. Every day I knock off another higher calorie day when I average - 3 more to go. I've become a data nerd.

•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, bone, muscle.
•5/13 - 202

•5/14 - 200 - I really did not think I'd see this number today. On keto, you need more sodium (potassium and magnesium too) to balance electrolytes. Yesterday, my dinner tasted extremely salty. I cooked it, but I didn't enjoy it. I thought sure it would show on the scale. Sometimes, I'm just very sensitive to the taste of salt.

I can't find my original post in here to build off of what I already put in...but...

5/14 187...I seem to be gaining, but I know I'm doing my calories right, walking everywhere I can and lifting 3 days a week. I know it will take a lot of time and commitment. I did notice a bra that has previously been too small, now fits...so that's win!!!

No way I gained 4 lb. I know it's water weight because I ate a lot of salty foods yesterday. I waited too long to eat and then it seems like I couldn't get full. Got to increase water intake and exercise today. I need to get below 200 by the end of this month!
