Day/Weight/Comment
05/18--178.8 I woke up feeling 'puffy' and groggy today, and I have a headache. The scale reflects how I feel. Not a great start to this round but I'll try to make up for it this weekend.
05/19--TOM snuck up on me, so I'm avoiding the scale for a few days! That explains how I felt yesterday. Went to Pilates this morning and tracking my calories; I tend to want to binge eat this time of the month so I have to be extra vigilant. Was going to get some landscaping done but it's too cold outside today--hopefully tomorrow!
05/20 (Birthday)--Skipping the scale today. Last night we went to dinner to celebrate my birthday and we also bought a bunch of shrubs and plants to start filling in our bare front yard. The sun is shining and I can't wait to get out there and get things in the ground!
05/21--178.0 Not super happy with this number but I know it's probably related to TOM.
05/22--179.4 OMG you guys. I was soooooooo hungry last night. I ate WAY over my calories. Still, I'm hoping most of this is just water retention. I am noticing a pattern; I went back and looked and the last time I really felt like bingeing was right after TOM. I love that these challenges have helped me identify patterns so I can start trying to be better prepared.
05/23 (Anniversary)--177.8 Okay, that's much better! I felt like I was back on track yesterday.
05/24--177.0 Back to where I started the round! Went for a walk last night to get pie for our anniversary; only a few calories over my goal. Tonight is our Pilates class.

Ultimate Goal: 135
Round 40: 158.2 (SW), 158 (EW)
5/18 – 157.4 I like this drop from the end of Round 40! Here’s hoping I can maintain it or decrease it over the remainder of this round.
5/19 – 157.8 Carb heavy day yesterday and for the next couple of days so I won’t be too worried about the scales for a bit. I’ll just make sure I stay within my calorie range for those days and drink lots of water.
5/20 – 158.2 Expected. So many carbs, so much sodium!
5/21 – 157.6 Cut back on the carbs and sodium yesterday. I also started T25. My legs are a bit sore!
5/22 – 157.6 Holding steady! Today a friend is buying me dinner. I know what I should have, but I also know what I’m going to have and it’ll put me a bit over my calorie range. Bring on the carbs!
5/23 – 157.6 After the day I had yesterday, I’m a little surprised the scale didn’t move up. I’ll take it!
5/24 – 157.4 Even a small loss is welcome.

I started this challenge at round 27, at 227.8. I ended round 38 at 194. That is a 33 pound loss! I love this challenge! It goes against everything I USED to believe about weighing in daily, and has taught me to really listen to my body, not get discouraged by small set backs, and to celebrate the small victories!
Round 41 SW 189.2 My goal is keep moving down and stay in the 180's and to finally get to the 40 pound mark!
5/18 188.8
5/19 188.8 Went to Zumba today for the first time in a while...feels great!
5/20 189.6 So I wasnt the best yesterday, but I zumba'd my butt off! Hiked 3 miles today... i don't wanna go back!
5/21 189.4
5/22 190.1 a little perplexed. ate ok, but late. Walked almost 14,000 steps. Ill keep on moving today = )
5/23 189.8
5/24 189.8 I need a whoosh! appetite, mood, and just everything tell me it could be TOM, calendar is not so reliable these days,so it could be it.... at least it's not going up!

5/19 197.6 I am happy with that. yesterday was a one pound drop, not bouncing back up is a good result.
5/20 196.8 What a nice surprise!
5/21196.6 Had a great day yesterday. Church, then a textile art exhibition and went for a lovely long walk in the sunshine with my son, and planned meals!
5/22 197 Can I blame the bounce on getting up 3 hours earlier today than yesterday?
5/23 195.6 Happy Dance - goal for the rest of this round - is to stay put and not bounce up
5/24 195.4 more snacks than meals but still within the calorie goal.

Age 60, 5'4.5" 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 [R39] 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
Annual workplace Health Risk Assessment 5/15/18: Waist the smallest it's been since 2007 according to past HRA records.
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.

05/08: 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. Raked part of front yard after work ~ so many whirlybirds ~ that was a good arm workout!
05/09: 154.0 Yes! Stuck pretty much w/ prelogged meals, snacks + one curveball. Net calories green, sodium red (leftover Chinese food), sugar -13 (some fruit, power muffin, but also unplanned small portion of ice cream cake in office for manager's granddaughter's 5th bday ~ don't get me started!), fiber & protein good & 17c water ~ actually felt thirsty! Walked dog before work / 3.4 mi 1:02:23.

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.
05/13: 154.0 Walked dog 3.81 mi 1:06:24 pace 17:25 / remembered to stretch. Fitbit 16,035 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 & 29 floors. Ate ice cream after dinner. Oops. Net calories -191, sodium -594, sugar -12, fiber & protein good. Oh well, it was an active day.

Dinner plans had to be changed b/c something I thought I had in freezer - not! Still managed to keep net calories & sugar green, sodium red, fiber & protein a little low, 14c water.
05/15: 153.0 Weight machine & circuit training before work. Fitbit 14,642 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 18 floors ~ observation fieldwork = lots of steps. Net calories green (yay), sodium -673, sugar -32 (had no idea baked beans would be so high / may have screwed up glucose reading ~ ack!), fiber & protein excellent & 14c water. [5/15/18 annual workplace Health Risk Assessment at 8:15 a.m. (fasting blood draw)]
05/16: 152.5 Rest day since couldn't eat or work out before HRA / nurses were impressed by my changes since last year.
Had to promote MFP & my MFP community, of course ~ I couldn't have done it without you! 
Fitbit 7,694 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 28 floors. Net calories -142 (not too bad for rest day), sodium green (YAY), sugar -3, fiber & protein a little low & 13c water.
05/17: 153.0 Walked dog before work / 3.07 mi 53:07 pace 17:17. Fitbit 14,681 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 62 floors. Net calories -138, sodium & sugar green (yay), fiber & protein good & 14c water. [5/17/18 ~ 8 hr seminar + 1 hr drive time = very sedentary day]
05/18: 153.5 Had 8 hr seminar + 1 hr drive time + no workout = very sedentary day. Fitbit 5,483 steps, 250+ steps 8/14 & 12 floors. Had every intention of eating small portions of whatever lunch and refreshments were served. Not so much. By evening, the introvert in me was exhausted, having handled seminar check-in and networking with 26 people in my professional association all day, even though I loved it. So after I drove 33 miles back to my city & deposited seminar checks at in-store bank, I picked up rotisserie chicken, deli salads and a few groceries on my way home, and proceeded to eat with abandon, including WAY too much sugar. After, felt bloated and blah. 11c water (at least I did that right). Starting fresh today.
05/19: 154.0 Hahahaha... had 2 margaritas (first time in very long time) w/ BFF, and really enjoyed our time together / ordered entree that I love from the lighter menu / snacked WAY too much in evening ~ for some reason, really had the munchies ~ oh well, moving on from net calories -765 & sodium -2,587. At least I walked dog before work / 3.09 mi 53:31. Fitbit 13,986 steps (if I'd known, I would've walked around to get 14,000 ), 250+steps 14/14 (boom!) & 48 floors.

05/21: 153.5 Walked dog 4.35 mi 1:14:21 pace 17:06 ~ happy dog & happy me. Yardwork in afternoon (Sun.). Fitbit 17,524 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 & 33 floors ~ earned Shooting Star Badge 20,000 lifetime floors! Net calories calories -159, sodium -1,560 (ack!), sugar green (yay), fiber & protein excellent (yay) & 10c water.
05/22: 152.5 Walked dog before work / 3.38 mi 59:37 pace 17:34. Fitbit 15,756 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 63 floors. Net calories -103, sugar & sodium green (YAY), fiber & protein excellent (YAY) & 14c water.
05/23: 153.5 Slight binge on Hershey miniatures THEN evening snack attack ~ ack!!! Horrible nutrition numbers except good fiber & protein & 14c water. Rest day / Fitbit 9,630, 250+ steps 13/14 & 29 floors.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18 - Friday - 203.6 - So yesterday afternoon we went to the city to pick up parents from airport. Long ride with traffic so I had to be careful not to drink too much water. Its such a fine line between hydration, and too many bathroom breaks. So I dont think I hit my water goals yesterday. But we got back around 8 and all went out to dinner. I made an improved choice; sesame ginger salmon with soba noodle salad rather than pulled pork mac and cheese. 1 pc of bread, a few sweet potato fries (1 oz) and a bite of DH's mac and cheese and I came in riiiiight around calorie goal for the day - a slight bit over on sodium. Todays morning went a little off plan. Didnt pack lunch because of it. Ended up getting vietnamese vermicelli bowl with pork and shrimp and fresh salad. I think I logged it fairly accurately. Again, an improved choice from a steak and cheese or a whole order of pad thai that are my other usual favorites to walk to from work. Tonights dinner is chicken thighs, asparagus, and potatoes grilled and planning on 1/2 pint of halo top for dessert - IIFYM! I'm not stressing about the nitty gritty details right now. I'm making better choices, and I'm learning to enjoy them as much, if not more than my old habits. Last nights salmon didnt leave me feeling bloated and stuffed, just satisfied and full, and thats a nice feeling! Baby steps to make sure that this time around I'm cultivating a new way of eating that will benefit my body, mind and soul - not just a diet to look better in the mirror.
5/19 - Saturday 203.0 - Busy day - Adams trip to pick up more eggs and meat. Grilled some ribs and snacked my way through the day. About 400 over on cals but mostly good food choices.
5/20 - Sunday 204.4 - Another busy day. Picked up herbs and did some gardening. Picked up a meat bread and caramel apple at the bakery next to the hardware store for lunch. Grilled chicken and steak. Made quinoa balls, hard boiled eggs. Went to laundromat in evening and started feeling poorly. Another day above calories because of the caramel apple. But I'm not sweating it - I enjoyed, I logged it, I moved on.
5/21 - Monday 203.6 - Sick. Ate some chicken rice soup, stayed in bed all day.
5/22 - Tuesday 201.0 - Sick - another day in bed. Had my appetite back and ate poor food choices but stayed close to calories (velveeta and chicken nuggets - why do I turn into an 8 year old when I'm sick?) Didnt take my meds the past two days because of being sick. I went to post this yesterday and hit done instead of post and I was too sick and tired to do it all over again. But I definitely do need to be better about checking in on the weekends regardless.
5/23 - Wednesday 202.0 - back to work! Still feeling under the weather but I'm upright! Now, lots of water today to flush this sickness out of me. Packed a good lunch, skipped my breakfast smoothie today but its back to good choices for the rest of the week into the weekend to reach my goal on Sunday. Seeing the 202 today is good but I expect some fluctuations before Sunday.
5/24 - Thursday -200.8 - Drank lots of water yesterday but still didnt have too much of an appetite. I tried to eat foods that were calorie dense and nourishing. This weight will probably be hard to maintain over the weekend - but I'm reviewing my goal of 202.5 and committing to myself that I will not sabotage it just because it's the weekend. I will enjoy myself after weigh in on Sunday and on the holiday Monday - but not overboard. Back to my healthy habits today - breakfast smoothie, packed lunch, and homemade dinner planned for this evening. Woohoo for feleling better and a long weekend upcoming!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18 - 161.6 - Over my steps goal, over my water goal but then ate perogies for a late dinner. Cooked them different so not covered in butter and was still within calories so I hope to not see an increase the next couple days. A good start to this round and hoping to finally see the 150s.
5/19 - 161.2 - Moving in the right direction. Busy evening yesterday mulching but finally that was the last that needed done. Had a very late dinner of a delicious burger and had a couple mixed drinks so I won't be surprised to see an increase in the next couple days. Also I wrote up my post yesterday but never actually posted it but I'm definitely in for this round.
5/20 - 162.2 - Ok with this as I know exactly why I'm up. Had a great weekend but it's time to get back on track.
5/21- 160.6 - Hoping to hop off this roller coaster and settle back down into a more steadier rythm but happy with today's number. Going to try my best to keep it around and then continue to bring it down.
5/22 - 158.8 - Doing the happy dance this morning! Whoo! Please, please, please stick around now.
5/23 - 157.8 - Can it be real? Continuing my happy dance. My food, water and exercise has been on point this round and it's showing. If this continues I'll be at my mini goal of 155 before June 15th (my goal date, also our 5 year anniversary) and it'll be the best anniversary gift I could have given myself. So excited.
5/24 - 159.0 - Late dinner with high sodium, not good. Eye lids a little swollen so I know I'm holding onto water. After eating dinner, I asked my husband, "why do we eat this?" His response was "because it's quick and easy." And while we need quick and easy dinners every now and again because our evenings can get crazy busy, I'll be scratching this item off our future grocery lists and plan for better quick and easy dinners that don't make me feel like crap the next day. Water will be my best friend today.

5/18 - 190.04 - Had pizza last night that I couldn't find nutritional information on. I guesstimated based on another companies. I didn't care for it, so only ate 1.5 slices. Dollar Days for drinks is back at McDonald's and I love a fountain coke with ice. I behaved and only got a small though.

5/17: 149.0. (T-1) Another day for sleeping in. That’s okay. I’ll have plenty of activity today. The yard needs mowing and I’ll push away from my desk and walk at lunch. Lunch is packed.
5/18: Field trip with the girl child, spelunking. Morning workout. Food- was okay.
5/19: 148.5. Logged it. Won’t see it again for a while, but I happened. Weight lifting. Followed by golf. Lots of activity. But the food just wasn't there. A couple glasses of wine. Some chocolates...
5/20: Busy day in the kitchen. Food was plentiful and on plan but wasn't logged. Active day but no formal activities. Tracker at 12k steps. No happy face today since the food just wasn't there.
5/21: 152.0- Was away from MFP this weekend. Allowing myself to have some freedom from tracking lately and few things (ice cream, wine, grilled cheese) that are not within my "plan". Today I am back on track. Excited to see a new number (<149) in the days to come as I shed the retained water from my indiscretions. Walked at lunch with Leslie. Mowed the yard after work with some other yard work. ~17k steps. Food was on track and logged. It was a GOOD day! 17k steps
5/22: 150.0- Morning weight workout. Won’t be able to walk at lunch. Got in about 15 mins of TKD before the girl child overheated and we had to go home. Food within boundaries. And logged. 12K steps
5/23: 148.5- Slept hard last night. Body temperature is up. Is Weight lifting causing this? No morning workout. Walked at lunch. Took another after dinner. 12k steps. Food was good and Logged.
5/24- 147.0- Logged it. We’ll see if it keeps. No workout this morning. Lunch walk isn’t going to happen. Evening workout is going to prove difficult. May need to plan for a “rest” day with an alarm set for the morning.

Round 2 for me. Last round I was away helping daughter pack and clean house. Despite the work, I obviously ate too much of her good, organic food (and Swiss chocolate)
Stats: F, 65, 5’
SW 164.4
GW under 163
final GW 130
Day/Weight/Comment – about the day before
5/18 164.4 - Hoping this is just a blip up and not what I gained the last week and a half.
5/19 163 - This was a happy surprise – Hope I can keep going. I was fairly consistently around this before my trip but was afraid I’d put some lb. back on. Guess we’ll see tomorrow. Went to the gym yesterday for the first time since I got back and ate somewhat on target. Still dead tired from all the travel.
5/20 163.3
5/21 162.8 – So nice to see this number again after the bump up on my trip. Gardening the last couple of days – clearing out weeds isn’t all that much exercise but way less snack inducing than inside the house.
5/22 162.4 - gym closed for Victoria day yesterday but lots of outside work.
5/23 162.4 -
5/24 162 – crazy day yesterday with no exercise really, didn’t even get to yard work. Maybe this is payoff from the previous days. Hoping to spend today mostly outside and get the garden planted. Still plugging along at weedy perennial beds and moving stuff around too.

R39: AW 219.86
R40: AW 219.18 (-.68)
I use my average weight for my weight loss. I am not making a weight goal for this round; instead my only goal for this round is to reach 10K steps for 7/10 days. Steps: 5/10
R40: SW: 218.9
Day/Weight/Comment
5/18--218.4 Back to my lowest weight so far this year. Kettlebell tonight.
5/19--218.0 Got home after kettlebell and realized I had walked less than 5k steps. So after I ate I took the dog out and got in the rest of my steps in. Really have to work to get my water in on the weekends. Going car shopping today!
5/20--217.5 Surprised about the drop. We'll see if it sticks. Got my 10K steps in again yesterday, same thing as the day before where I had only taken 5k steps before having to take the dog on an evening walk. So, today what I did was take the dog on a long walk in the morning and I have gotten my 10K steps in. Working on water today.
5/21--218.0 Not surprised about the rebound. Did not get a lot of water in yesterday. Kettlebell tonight and probably another walk with the dog to get the rest of my steps in.
5/22--217.3 Did better with water yesterday, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bounce back again tomorrow. Decided not to go to kettlebell last night, just didn't feel like it. Instead hung out with hubby and dog and we all went for a long walk in the evening and got my steps in.
5/23--217.8 Normal fluctuation. So far I've weighed in below my starting weight every day. Did not get my steps in yesterday, chose not to go for an evening walk instead did some work around the house. Kettlebell tonight and will go out for a walk later tonight to get my steps in.
5/24--218.0 So sore this morning after tough kettlebell workout last night. Definitely retaining some water. Yesterday after I came home from kettlebell I had some dinner and then took dog out for a walk to get my 10K steps. Making sure that today I get my water in.

Slow and steady. I'm going to keep riding this wave. I think I'm very close to my final weight goal. I'm going to start thinking in terms of what I'm doing AFTER I reach my weight goal. I have not returned to heavy lifting since I hurt my back, but I will (soon). As far as numbers go, I want to see if I can keep my lean body mass where it is (or increase) while simultaneously reducing my body fat percentage. I'm at just under 16%, but I'd like to see 12%. I want to know what my abs look like! I'm going to start including my scale's body fat percentage reading (even though I know it's not accurate) with my daily check-in.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18 = 192.6 (no change). Basketball cancelled again last night. AFTER I drive half an hour to get there. For the first time in a while I had a frustration/depressed binge (related to basketball). Nothing too crazy, but I was done eating, and then I had a couple of raw chocolate balls and 2 servings of Thai Lime Chile almonds. And a stick of Monterey Jack cheese. I'm going to an amusement park today, so there should be tons of walking. And there's basketball tomorrow. I forgot to check my body fat percentage this morning. It's going to be a process!
5/19 = 192.2 (-0.4), BF% = 16.0. Walked over 15k steps at Magic Mountain. I was good at the park with food, but binged a bit again when I got home. I've been sneaking in a little chocolate (wife has it around) the past few nights, which I've got to address. I'm going to work on sticking much more closely to my macros. I'm not having any real negative consequences at this point, but I want to nip this in the bud. I have basketball this morning.[/quote]
5/20 = 192.0 (-0.2), BF% = 16.2. My knee felt really loose at basketball yesterday. I didn't hurt myself, but it didn't feel good. Ate out for brunch, and got a nice rare steak and eggs. Macros were okay. I was a little light on water, at least for a basketball day.
5/21 = 195.4 (+3.4). Let's call yesterday what it was: a full-blown slip. It was my father-in-law's birthday party. I was pretty good with food for most of the day (this is becoming a pattern that is not shaken, in a very good way). It started with my wife doing Mexican corn (with mayo, butter, cheese, and chili). Corn is not a great food for my diet, but I had more than I probably should have (the toppings are all fine, though). Later came dessert. My wife got a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake from the bakery in LA called Portos. It's ridiculous. I told her a few times throughout the day that I wasn't going to have any, but she persisted, and I gave in. Twice. Back to my eating during the day, though. I didn't track volume, only "quality." The food I was eating fit well into the Keto lifestyle, but I probably overate a bit overall, even before the corn/cheesecake. Anyhoo. It was a slip, not a full-blown relapse. Let's see how long it takes for my body to fully BWHOOSH™ (formerly known as BOUNCE BACK™).
5/22 = 193.4 (-2.0), BF% = 16.2. BWHOOSH™ (formerly known as BOUNCE BACK™). I felt pretty crappy throughout the day yesterday, but ate really well, and forced myself to go to the gym to lift weights. When I got there, I noticed my energy was up. I went to basketball, where I have not been able to hit the broad side of a barn the last two times I've played. My shot was pretty "on," and my bad knee felt just fine (not even one "pop"). I had a great Caesar salad with chicken and avocado for dinner, and ended up having a pretty great day. I had a bit of a revelation at basketball. I STILL have WAY TOO MUCH gut. So many people are screaming at me telling me how thin I am, but I'm NOT. I get that I look pretty different compared to where I was in January (when I started my MFP/JGMTD journey), and that people freak out/get jealous/whatever, but I don't think I have body image issues. Rather, I truly believe that I still have a ways to go on my journey. I said I would stop at 185. Maybe 180 is the number. Maybe I just need to start eating more at maintenance as I get back into heavy lifting. I don't know. I feel good today, though. Sorry for the rant!
5/23 = 194.6 (+1.2). This is when I know my sugar issues are an actual addiction. I can't have a slip one day and think that I'm okay the next day. I can't pretend that it didn't happen. A slip is a sign, and that should put me in high alert. That's what I would tell my patient. I would also tell them to be kind to to themselves, and to have some compassion, so I'm going to try to remember that, too. I didn't give my Saturday lapse the attention it deserved, and last night was a sign that my underlying issues are still there. I'm stressed, and will be until Tuesday, because of work issues. I binged last night on chocolate. It was bad. On some level I knew what was happening. My wife didn't say a word, not that it's her responsibility to. I have got to depend on myself, and I let myself down a little bit. Time to stop the bleeding today, and to get back to my good Keto habits. I don't want this to turn into a full blown relapse. I've worked too hard.
5/24 = 195.8 (+1.2). I initially freaked out at seeing this, because I ate well yesterday. But then I remembered the day before (psycho-binge, sugar), and figured that this is likely some holdover from my awesomeness that day. It's really not that fun to see this number, but I'm going to let it go. Basketball and the gym tonight. I'm going to eat uber-healthy today. I'm really hoping to see a significant drop tomorrow. Before I sign off for the day, I want to remind myself out loud that I'm super-stressed at work right now, and it doesn't get any better when I go home (doing an overtime project). At this point I'm really hoping just to settle down toward my SW for this round. *Edit* I'm actually feeling a little bit depressed right now - it's raining outside, I got wet on my ride in, I am feeling a bit out of control right now (still related to what happened 2 days ago). I am on "high alert" food-wise because, if I'm not, this could easily end up a disaster. I'm having poké for lunch, and my wife is picking up a nice keto-friendly salad for me for dinner. No sweets today of any kind. Only keto-friendly snacks.
