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.

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.

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!!

5/14 - 160.4 - Busy day, continuously hungry, storming outside. My bed is calling me.

5/15 - 161.4 - There's the gain I've been expecting to see, not too bad and it's still slightly under my goal for this round so I'm doing pretty good. I just realized I have exactly a month until my anniversary and I want to be around 150 by then so it's time to kick it into high gear. I think I can do it, just have to put my mind to it. Had a late dinner last night so that might also count for the little bit of gain. There's 2 weigh ins left for this round, let's make them count!

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.
5/13 172 - I'm afraid to get my hopes up, but things look better than last week!
5/14 173 - I'm hoping this bump is because I didn't drink enough fluids yesterday. I'm still averaging better than the last two weeks though.
5/15 173.5 - Here we go again. This makes absolutely no sense. Oh well, I'll see what tomorrow brings.

5/08 - 244 (which is a pound less than yesterday for me). Lowest I've been in way to long sadly, though when I started my weight loss journey (again...) I was 257.8, so I'm happy I'm heading in the right direction at least

5/09 - 243.8 - I've been trying to walk at least a mile on my lunch break around the campus I work at, and at night doing at least 30 min of one of my POUND dvd's. I'd like to start working some Yoga in there too to get more flexible, but feel like I need to lose a tad bit more weight to do most of the moves, so I'm really excited to see my weight go down, no matter how small

5/10 - 243.6 - small loss but better than a small gain. I'm happy as long as it heads in the right direction-small victories are still victories

5/11 - 243.2

5/12 - 242.6

5/13 - 241.2 - was convinced I was actually going to go up since I ate supper kinda late on the 12th, so was pleasantly surprised to see that I had my biggest loss of the week instead.

5/14 - 240 - Oh my gosh I'm so close to being out of the 240 range, and 20 lbs lost....I'm so very excited, especially seeing the small losses this week add up to big change. woohoo!

5/15 - 243.4 - stared at the scale for about 2 minutes demanding the numbers change but no such luck. I'm not to set back by it though, as my 'aunt flo' has come to visit and I binged a bit on Chik-fil-a for supper (Grilled nuggets and super food salad, but also had some waffle fries cause I always crave carbs around this time... But last night aside, time to get back on track and make sure this temporary bump up doesn't become permanent

Round 40/My Round 1

SW- 172
Round 40 GW- 170
Ultimate GW- 155

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.
5/14: 170.2; Happy that the water weight came off. Stayed under my calorie limit yesterday only because I was very busy all day but I didn’t make the healthiest choices and didn’t drink all my water. NSV: I skipped the fries at the drive thru and only got a sandwich (progress not perfection right lol)
5/15: 170.6; I haven’t meal prepped yet so I was not prepared to eat healthy. I tried to make wise choices when picking a frozen meal for lunch but of course it still lots of sodium and preservatives. I also went to the movies and had a big bag of popcorn with no butter! Luckily I drank all of my water so hopefully I can stay on top of that today and not see the weight gain from all the salt tomorrow.

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!
5/13 198.6 NSV Found that a small protein snack and browsing this thread is a great way to wait out the cravings!
5/14 199 A little post mothers day bump - not too bad
5/15 199 Well I thought I had done better than that - but its only one day

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.

5/08 206.6 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!
5/13 205.0 Happy Mother’s Day!!

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.
5/15 205.4 - Well, I had to step on the scale at least 6 times this morning because first I saw 202 - then 205.4 - then 203 - then 205.4 again. Not sure whats going on with that, havent moved my scale and batteries are good. But I recorded the highest weight just to be safe. A dog walk last night and leftovers for dinner. Not sure whats on the menu for tonight, but got my buffalo chicken and avocado wrap for lunch, smoothie and snacks and I'm ready to drink lots of water again today. Still feeling positive about goal for this round.

5/13: 150ish. Weight training. Started NRFL4W Family get together. Kept the sugar and alcohol out. But I did eat some nuts, garlic bread, and some other breads. No happy face for the day.
5/14: 152. (Not fretting the 2#s considering the weekend’s part takings.) Weekend was okay considering the “holiday”. A bit sore today. Cardio this morning. Been VERY hungry. Food was on track.
5/15. 150.5. No morning workout. Long work day today. Got to try to fit something in today. Weight lifting is what was on the schedule. We’ll see.

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.......)

5/14 306.6 (-7.2) (Survived Sunday. Carb landmines at every turn but I managed to avoid them and stay on plan. Feels satisfying to keep focused and realize I can stick to something. It has been one week following a <20g net carb plan. I'm up for a second week....Hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead)

5/15 306.6 (-7.2) (Good Monday. I'm sure a lot of my first week loss was water adjusting. Sticking to the plan, making new recipes that follow keto principles. Got all my steps in yesterday. Come on Tuesday, let's go)

Lowest weight 133# in November 2017
Goal weight 132#

5/8 140# so ready for this. Need to get my eating in check. Need to log and be consistent. I am good w/my exercise habits. Round 40 here I come!!!
5/9 138.8# it is amazing what happens when you pay attention. On the stepper! High Ho❤️
5/10 138.6# I am being good and happy about it! Consistent and logging
5/11 138.4# Gym class is done. Now to eating, logging and continued consistency!
I am confessing before tomorrow's weigh in...TOO MUCH of everything tonight UGH!!!
5/12 139.4# Last night was a good reminder of how easy it is to falter. I am back on track today. No workout but consistency and logging is the plan.
5/13 138.8# Back on track with being cognizant about what I eat. When I go out for meals it is more difficult, but trying to make wise choices. Happy Mother's Day!
5/14 140.4# too much wine!!!
I am in a world of mess with my eating habits! I have been here before and have to dig deep. Today is a lost cause. Not logging well, because I am not eating well. YIKES!!! A vicious cycle. I hope tomorrow will be better!
5/15 141# I am going in the wrong direction! The struggle is real. I just read a great quote "Get fit in the gym. Lose weight in the kitchen". Hopefully i will be headed in the right direction in the next few days, as this round ends!
