Day/Weight/Comment
5/28--217.5 Not surprised by uptick in weight, will probably see another uptick tomorrow. I went for Afternoon Tea yesterday and I have no idea how many calories I ate, but I definitely enjoyed myself. Going out with the dog for a hike this morning.
5/29--218.0 Water retention. So sore from the hike yesterday. I got my steps in yesterday. Goal for today is to get my water in.
5/30--217.8 Most of the soreness is gone.
5/31--217.1 There goes the rest of the water retention. Got my steps in yesterday.
6/01--216.9 Got steps in yesterday. I have the day off today so I need to make sure to get water in.
6/02--217.1 Dehydrated. Was running around yesterday and forgot to drink water. Got my steps in yesterday.
6/03--217.8 Went out to my coworker's retirement party last night. I probably ate at maintenance, but didn't drink enough water so the uptick in weight was expected. I started back with running yesterday and got my steps in. Kettlebell today. Going out for brunch today, so there will probably be a temporary uptick in my weight tomorrow as well. I took my monthly measurements yesterday and recorded a loss of inches. Goal for today is to get my water in.
6/04--218.2 Between soreness from Kettlebell, lack of water yesterday, and increased salt from brunch I totally expected a bump in the scale. Today is walking and water.
6/05--217.8 There goes some of the water weight. Got my water and steps in yesterday. Kettlebell tonight.

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202
Goal Weight July 2019 - 140
5/28 - 187.8 - Well this was a surprise since the last 10 days nothing seemed to be happening.
5/29 - 189.4 - Such a frustrating process this is
5/30 - 190.8 - Yesterday was a crap day, I met a guy for lunch I used to work with, who has successfully lost and is maintaining a 60 lb loss. The problem is he insists on KFC. He plans for it every Tuesday. He told me yesterday that is his big meal of the day. He works 12 hour shifts 5AM to 5PM so he goes to bed around 7 each night to be ready for his long day, so he is fasting from 3pm until around 7am the next day. I find KFC doesn't fill me, I am always hungry a couple hours after I eat it. I did go for two walks to burn off some calories but not enough.
5/31- 189.6 - well going in the right direction again.
6/01 - 188.2 - Pleasantly surprised again.
6/02 - 189 - another bad day yesterday need to buckle down again
6/03 - 188.2 good day yesterday so this should continue. My goal right now is to at least be where I started on day 1 when these 10 days end.
6/04 - 190.2 Must be from Friday, because Saturday and Sunday were good days.
6/05 - 189.0 I'm afraid this round won't be ending on a good note. Hopefully Round 43 goes much better

5/28 Monday - 200.8 I finally slept thru the night last night for the first time in a whole week with a hacking cough. Woohoo. Nice not to see a huge jump after a night out. I was ravenous today so I just ate. Homemade breakfast sandwhich, some flat iron steak for a snack, and homemade matzo ball soup for dinner - which will also be lunch for a few days too. Goal for this round is to maintain at or under 199 which is 1 week or so ahead of schedule. Leaving for mini vacation at the end of this round, good motivator. Need to get a bathinsuit!
5/29 Tuesday - 202.4 - Back to my pre-sickness weight. Thats fine - I'd rather have my health and 2 pounds than that miserable cold for one more day. DH is on the verge of getting it now, lots of EmergenC, bone broth, and encouraging him to drink lots of water. Knock on wood he can beat it! Having a hard time drinking my smoothie this morning, but it will be done. Time to start downing water myself! Leftover soup for lunch, popcorn and blueberry applesauce for snack. No idea on what to have for dinner yet, still pretty exhausted so I need to make a plan so I don't end up eating convenience foods. I took out some ground beef, so maybe koren beef?
5/30 Wednesday - 201.8 - Half way thru the week! DH is home sick today - fingers crossed that this shall pass a little more quickly for him. I was 202 at first waking, then 201.8 about a half hour later. I was weighing later in the day when I was sick because I was sleeping in - and after seeing @tiabirdie56 show how her weights flucuate in the morning I wonder If my body operates in a similar way. I'll keep an eye on that as I continue my journey. NSV last night - went bathing suit shopping and found something flattering and confidence boosting! It even matches the sun shirt I already have. I spent a little more than I would have liked (again painfully frugal) but its a Lands End suit so I'm hoping to get a lot of use out of it this summer and it will hold up. The past summer I've been shy about swimming up at my MIL's because hanging out in a bathing suit is not something I enjoy - so I got a swim skirt and a modest tankini top and plan to ENJOY the lake and swim more this year. Hopefully the suit fits thru the summer, I guess if it doesn't that would be okay too! As long as its too big not too small! I will try on the top again tonight and make sure I don't need to size down, my recommended size online was a 14 but I purchased a 16 - but I'm notorious for wearing my clothes too big. I did make korean beef last night - tired and still not feeling 100% is not a time to try a new recipe! I also had some graham crackers and chocolate hummus, what a yummy dessert! Didnt pack a lunch today, only breakfast and snacks - thought I didnt have anything but I should have brought a veggie burger. I'll be sure to take that tomorrow! Maybe panera for lunch? Didnt take anything out of the freezer for dinner and with DH not feeling well I have a feeling I may be picking up Pho for him...we shall see. The things I can control today are to drink lots of water, make better portioned healthy choices, and to be kind to myself thru this process.
5/31 Thursday - 202.0 - Dinner last night was thrown off track because DH ate the leftovers I was planning on for dinner for his lunch. No big deal, I'm glad he ate something. I didn't have much of anything ready to cook (all meats frozen) but I did have a frozen pizza and french fries calling my name. I checked to make sure my portion would fit my caloric allotment - I went slightly over carbs and a bit over sodium because I had panera for lunch. I couldnt figure out why I was such a carb monster yesterday. I stepped on the scale this morning and was a bit dissapointed in myself and the number. *TMI warning - if womanly functions bother you feel free to scroll past! But TOM unexpectedly arrived and explained everything! Water retention and carb cravings are the norm for me a day or two before and a day or two during. A NSV for me as a woman with PCOS - my cycle has regulated to 28 days on the dot! I have a follow up with my endocrinologist next week, so I'm excited to be able to report some good news. I was ranging anywhere from 35-50 days previous to changing my diet. I'm hoping to start a family in the next 2 years or so, so this is one of my biggest goals is improving my reproductive health! I truly was not expecting TOM to come until next week (which would have sucked while vacationing but it always seems to happen that way without fail so I was planning for it). First day is still proving to be incredibly painful - hopefully that will improve as well as I continue my journey.
6/01 Friday -202.0 Just hanging out here. Fine by me FOR NOW. Definitely didnt get enough water yesterday. It was a pretty emotional day overall and I didnt crawl into a bowl of mac and cheese so thats a win. I made an old favorite recipe, taco noodle caserole. I used recipe builder, logged it, and ate an appropriate portion that fit my calories for the day. At lunch with a friend at panera I stuck with an order which I knew has worked in the past while still tasting food and filling me up. I'm a hurting unit today with crazy cramps and my lower back is aching. But I made my smoothie and packed lunch. May order out tonight - it's Friday, our usual order out night, but I'll do my best to be reasonable with my choices to fit in my day. A busy weekend ahead - hopefully seeing a house prospect Saturday, DH needs to shop for vacation clothes, lots of prep to get the house ready while we're away, and get the dog out for a hike. I'll need to drink my morning smoothie (need more flax milk) make sure to drink lots of water and have a positive attitude!
6/02 Saturday - 200.8 - surprised by that number this morning as last night we went out for fried seafood, and I was a bottomless pit upon returning home and ate 6 fig newtons! But, I logged it all as accurately as I could and it wasn't as much of a bust as I thought! Nonetheless I haven't eaten like that in a while. We also took a nice little hike after work so that was good! A busy day today checking out the house. Didn't eat breakfast, too many nerves and no flax milk for smoothie. Late lunch grilled meat and veggies, dinner was a homemade cajun chicken Alfredo that fit into my day nicely. An awesome new recipe that I will definitely use again, and could certainly modify to be lighter depending on needs. Ran errands all afternoon and I'm pooped! Need to make some good choices tomorrow at the grocery store, some meal prep for a short week but not too much because going away Thursday night and don't want to be wasteful. Excited for a good night's sleep!!
6/03 Sunday - 200.2 - first waking weigh in was 200.8 half hour later 200.2 - NSV went to the grocery store and bought ONLY what was on my list. Made a plan to use what I've got this week and only needed minimal ingredients. Made a New recipe tonight, zuppa Toscana copycat recipe came in around 400 cals per serving. I've been sticking to recipes more than I have in the past because it's easier to import the recipe in recipe builder and know the calories are close opposed to winging a recipe, which is what I usually do. Slight change but so far it's tasting good and easier to track! Bread an butter with soup put me right at cals for the day, but I plan to have a 150 cal dessert too because I'd rather fill the craving with a small amount of what I do want rather than a large amount of something else not satisfying. For today anyway but don't plan to make a habit of it. TOM really affects my hunger so I'm just listening to my hunger cues more closely and eating closer to maintenance when I am very hungry during TOM. We are both finally feeling better so back to getting to work early tomorrow. Short week, leaving Thursday night, lots to do before we go so planning to be positive and proactive about healthy eating this week so traveling is less taxing.
6/04 Monday - 200.6 - First waking was 201.2 - Less than 20 minutes later down to recorded weight...interesting. All things considered I'm happy with that number for today. I'm hopeful I can reach my goal by Wednesday. I will need to buckle down on hydration today and stay in the green today and tomorrow! This round has been all over the place weigh in wise - between TOM and being sick, I'm proud I didn't just go off the rails, but time to rededicate myself to the cause for the next two days - mini goal! I love the weekly digest report - I was in fact under my weekly caloric intake goal so I'm proud of that! Next Round will be interesting as we are traveling Thursday - Sunday so I'll be curious to see how I can maintain. Leftover soup for lunch today - and it might just end up being dinner too depending on how errands go this evening...other option is chicken thighs, so I've got options! Endo appointment is tomorrow afternoon - need to go over my prep and make sure I remember to ask him all these questions I've been thinking up lately. I still havent taken my measurements! Do that tonight or tomorrow and record so I can use those stats to go with test results from tomorrows appointment and I can compare all at my next 6 month follow up. *Note End TOM
6/05 Tuesday - 200.6 - Not gonna lie, I was initially frustrated by the number this morning. Came back to the scale 30 minutes later in hopes of some drop, but stayed the same. But, I wont let it get me down. I ate within calories yesterday, I didnt have significant gains over the weekend, I'm pushing forward, and most importantly I FEEL GOOD! Ate soup again for dinner last night - maybe its the sodium? Anyway it was nice to have a meal I enjoyed eating 3 times in a row - that doesnt happen often. I was really hungry this morning so my breakfast smoothie is already gone, need to drink water to get me thru to lunch. Also packed lunch - black bean burger wrap with cheese and hummus and a serving of chips comes in pretty high on calories, 518...hmmm maybe I'll skip the chips and have popcorn for a snack before doctor this afternoon. Seeing the endo today - did some prep for the appointment and hoping all the usual blood work is done so I have a baseline to work off to compare to in 6 months. Staying positive and drinking lots of water today to finish at goal tomorrow!

Round 42: My first round
SW: 186.8
RGW: 183.8
UGW: 130
R42 SW 186.6 EW
Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 – 185.8: This is surprising because I indulged in pizza and wings last night. I’m sure those will show up on the scale tomorrow.
5/29 – 185.4: I was so excited to get on the scale this morning! Went for an hour long walk last night, which was a victory for me. I’ve been really depressed for months and haven’t had the energy to do much. Really, really happy that I made the effort. Didn’t eat my exercise calories either. Glad to see a slight downward trend. I’m not the most consistent person in the world, so I’m really hoping that doing small chunks of time will work for me. Made good breakfast choices even though I went grocery shopping on an empty stomach. Good luck everyone for a healthy and active day.
5/30 – 185: Slowly, slowly the scale creeps down and I’m ok with that. Before this challenge, this slow drop would have driven me crazy. I’m still struggling with night eating. Trouble for me starts at about 4 p.m. when I start craving sweet things. I believe this is related to my Diet Pepsi addiction. I want to quit diet soda so badly, but I find it very hard. One step at a time. Wishing everyone a day of healthy choices!!!
5/31 – 184.2: Approached the scale with some trepidation this morning. I made the very mature decision to have cookies, candy and diet pop for lunch yesterday. Brilliant!! My eating age is 5!!! The only saving grace is that I measured the portions of each and managed to stay under calories. Another one-hour walk in the evening. It was so lovely – just around sunset. Love watching the world winding down for the evening.
6/01 – 184.0: I am grateful for the miniscule drop on the scale. With better planning I believe I would see better results. I am thinking about doing a “Booster Weekend” this weekend. (I made that up!!) What that will mean for me is raising me exercise time from one to two hours (one in the a.m. and one in the p.m.) and REALLY focusing on clean choices and staying well within calories. Anyone in for this mini challenge within a challenge?
6/02 – 183.4: Yay!!! Really grateful for this downward trend. Since yesterday was Friday, my usual start of weekend junk binging, I indulged in a few bad choices. The only difference is that I measured out a portion size and stuck to it. If the portion calories were high, I had half a portion. Still over calories for the day, and no walk, so I am very thankful (and surprised) to see the drop. Long may it continue!!!
6/03 – 183.6: An uptick. Expected because I ate dinner super late last night. I mean midnight late – that’s what happens when my husband cooks. Even though it’s expected, it’s still disappointing because I ate below calories and had almost 600 exercise calories. Ah well, onward …
6/04 – 183.2: Headed back down, thank heavens. I’m hoping it stays that way for these last three days. I really want to finish strong.
6/05 – 183: Grateful for the slow slide down – long may it continue. LOVE my morning smoothies, but HOLY CARBS!!! Good thing it’s the beginning of the day. Learning lots on this 10 day journey. Need to have a cut off for eating at night. I’m thinking 8:30 is reasonable for me. Will give it a go tonight and see if it makes a difference.

Round 42: SW 232.4; GW 231
5/28 / 232.4 / Very pleased to start this round with a loss from last round. I'm going to be experimenting this week making my version of bento boxes (pre-portioned items in separate compartments) for breakfast/lunch. So I can just grab one box and know it has a variety of items with a set number of calories. Ideas welcome, if anyone has done this. I like almost everything, but I have Celiac, so gluten is out.
5/29 / 231 / Most excellent! This puts me at 21 total pounds lost since I began in January. This was my goal for this round, but let's see if I can hold onto it!
5/30 / 232.2 / Boo to this bounce, but I know that I ate well and got my body in motion, so it's all good.
5/31 / 232.6 / Bouncing around but eating well.
6/1 / 231.2 / Still eating great.
6/2 / 230.4 / Missed a couple of days of posting, but I had all of you in my thoughts! Hooray for this weigh in, though I'm not feeling great today. I did mini protein muffins last night that weren't too bad, though they need some tweaking. Also pumpkin overnight oats for breakfast this morning that need some tweaking, too. I'm having pizza for dinner, so I expect to be at a higher weight in the morning if only for the salt.
6/3 / 231.6 / As expected, given my pizza fandango. TOM looms. I want to eat all the things.
6/4 / 231 / I'm surprised, frankly. I'm being a complete salt fiend right now, so I thought I would be puffed up like a pufferfish!
6/5 / 230.6 / I didn't sleep well and am exhausted. My weigh-in was much later than it will be tomorrow, so I suspect I'll likely miss my 231 goal for this round, but I'm pretty pleased that my TOM hasn't made me into a giant water balloon! Thanks to all for sharing their inspiring triumphs and, yes, their inspiring setbacks.

I’m in. Was feeling so much slimmer – and then I looked at my weight report for the last year and realized I was 162 one year ago … so since Feb. I’ve lost the weight that I gained the 8 months previous. The reports don’t go back that far but I think that I joined when I was freaking out about hitting 160 in 2015. All of this just reminded me how much we adjust to a new “normal” and to a) realize I’m not slim, better than I was but still much, much to go, so don’t get sloppy in my new habits b) celebrate the little victories but also keep an eye on the long term goal.

5/28 - 162.6
5/29 – 162.4 Didn’t do all that great yesterday as is usual with an errand day but did go to the gym
5/30 - 163
5/31 - 162.8 Glad it is not worse. Two more high stress days with lots of running around & internal wondering how to get everything done at home before going on another trip.
6/01 – 162.4 Home all day today except for gym. Yay!
6/02 – 162.6 Did go to the gym but did snack a little in the evening, arg. So, inner self, how does snacking in any way help the fact that a deer disfigured the Japanese Maple that I’d just planted this spring and was coming along so nicely? If I can break that link, frustration/worry=snacking, I think I’ll have success.
6/03 – 163.4 Too much fat yesterday. Now I have a headache, feeling generally draggy and retaining water.
6/04 – 162.8 Have to be more diligent charting the calories so I don’t go over in the evening. I don’t think I’m doing too bad but too busy and a little extra can sneak in so easily (and turn out to be more than a little!) Gym today but two evenings out so have to be vigilant and plan ahead.
6/05 – 162.4 Would sure like to get past this barrier.

I'm putting the Keto experiment on hold because, in a lot of ways, I'm not feeling all that good right now. I'm going to stay at a much lower carb intake, integrating some fruits and vegetables while continuing to focus on eating healthy fats (instead of the crap I used to eat). I'm going to stay away from processed sweets and crappy processed snack foods. Edit: Keto is back on 100%. Thank you "The Magic Pill" for setting me straight.

Average weight loss per round: 1.95 lbs

Goals for this round: maintain current weight (do not go over 195) as I take as break from from Keto. Track my BF% consistently.
Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 = 192.2 (-1.8), BF% = 15.5. I got started a little later than usual today, so this might not be perfectly accurate, but it should be pretty close. Last night wasn't impulsive. I'm definitely taking a break from Keto. I'm trying to decide which carb number I should shoot for. I'm thinking 100, but I'm going to do some reading. I wasn't very consistent last round with tracking my body fat percentage. I'm going to commit to tracking it every day.
5/29 = 194.2 (+2.0), BF% = 15.7. Got a little too "snacky" yesterday. Ate when I wasn't hungry. Allowed myself to eat a couple of things I haven't been able to eat in the past few weeks. Went about 300 calories over maintenance. That being said, as mentioned yesterday, my weight likely wasn't all that accurate when I weighed myself yesterday (weighed myself at the "correct time" today). My goal for today is to remember only to eat when I feel hungry. I tracked everything yesterday, so that was good. I'm feeling okay. This is actually not feeling like a cause for alarm. Rather, it's a signal that I need to be paying attention to how I'm feeling and what I'm eating right now.
5/30 = 193.8 (-0.4), BF% = 15.6. I was much more under control yesterday. Ate with my macros, no crazy binges, stayed away from sweets for the most part (and slightly under calories). I decided to adjust my weekly goal to 1/2 a pound per week (from 1 pound), as I'm getting pretty close to my goal weight.
5/31 = 193.8 (no change), BF% = 15.6. I felt like I ate a little heavy during yesterday, but after tracking everything I think I was slightly below maintenance. I had a fantastic dinner that I normally would have completely scarfed in one sitting. This time, however, I ate half of it, I did it mindfully, and I have half of it today for either lunch or dinner (probably dinner). I have basketball tonight for the first time in a week, and I'm going to go to the gym as well. I feel pretty good that I have been able to maintain since putting Keto on hold, particularly since I haven't worked out for the past week. Full disclosure regarding my decision to put Keto on hold; it actually didn't feel that hard to do. While that's generally a good thing, I tend to get into a groove when something is working well, which makes me less vigilant/questioning. I have some questions regarding the long-term health effects of the Keto lifestyle, and I need to do some reading before I get back into it. Can you remind me of some of your favorite Keto resources @quiltingjaine ?
6/01 = 194.4 (+0.6), BF% = 15.7. I'm not 100% sure why my weight is up a bit, but I'm going shopping today to get my butt back on Keto. "The Magic Pill" was pretty damned inspiring. Played basketball last night and went to the gym, and get pretty good at both. My back signed up a bit, though it feels okay this morning.
6/02 = 195.4 (+1.0), BF% = 15.7. I had a busy day today, so I'm posting late. I thought yesterday went pretty well, even if the scale didn't agree with me. My chiropractor was able to sneak me in for an appointment, which was great, because I needed it badly. I'm a little confused by my weight gain, but I'm going to try to just let it go.
6/03 = 195.0 (-0.4), BF% = 15.8. I felt fantastic at basketball yesterday. My shot was fine, but I really just felt comfortable playing; I could jump, run, and move without pain. It's hard for me to know how much of this is my 30-pound weight loss, and how much of it is related to my general Keto goodness. The truth is, I don't care what it is. Yesterday was a great day. I went to a party in the evening and stuck to hard alcohol plus calorie-free mixers. They had a "taco truck" setup for dinner, and stayed away from everything carb (ate carne asada, chicken, and al pastor meats they had there). Getting a tiny bit frustrated with my weight (lack of progress), but I'll power through this.
6/04 = 194.0 (-1.0), BF% = 15.7. WHOOSH™! Finally! I ate well and within macros, but I've been doing that for a while. I'll take it! Basketball and gym tonight!
6/05 = 192.0 (-2.0), BF% = 15.4. Another WHOOSH™!! Basketball wasn't as great as Saturday, but I didn't get hurt, so it was good enough. I've been eating really well. And I needed this drop. Working as a poll worker this election. All day until 8 pm.

June:
1: 203.4... Up 2 pounds since my vacation started. I imagine it's all water weight. There was not sufficient access to water on the 3 flights it took to get home, and I certainly didn't get enough yesterday because of sleeping so much. Back into a normal flow today, so tomorrow's weight should reflect that.
2: 201.4... I'm curious now if I did actually lose weight on my trip. Maybe there's more water weight to come off because of the 24 hours it took to travel home. I'm taking the family to a movie in a few minutes, and I always have popcorn. I'll try to keep it to a reasonable amount though. I'd really like to see onederland this round, so that'll keep me motivated.
3: 200.8...I guess I did okay with the popcorn!
4: 200.9... Normal fluctuation. I'm still hoping to see onederland this round!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 --173.6 lbs
5/29 -- 173.6 lbs
5/30 -- 172.6 lbs
5/31 – 172.8 lbs
6/01 – 173 lbs
6/02 – 172.4 lbs
6/03 – 172 lbs
6/04 – 170.4 lbs – Almost under 170 lbs! My goal is to get to 165 lbs and then take a break from being in a caloric deficit and do a “maintenance period” for about a month. However, I am traveling internationally for 2 weeks this month, so if I don't reach 165 by the time I leave I may just go into maintenance at whatever weight I am at for the vacation. I have lost ~11 lbs since February but am very guilty of fluctuating between winter and summer. Like a lot of people, I typically lose weight easily in the summer and then put it all back on come wintertime, and sometimes put even more on! I am hoping that if I take a month off in the summer I will be more likely to succeed and stick to it come fall/winter. Then maybe I will aim for another maintenance period once I reach another milestone. If I can reach 160 lbs by November, I think having the goal of maintaining 160 lbs through December is much more realistic than trying to continuously lose weight throughout the holidays!

@jilliancreates, There are quite a few of us battling through the end of the 200's and continuing to bounce around the 190's. Makes me wonder why our bodies just want to hold on to these weights. You are so close to onederland! Everyone hovering at 201/200, good luck! It would be wonderful to begin a new round in the 190's!

tiabirdie56......yep, I'm one of those bouncing around the 199's. Last round I bounced around 201 for quite a few days. Now it's the 199's. I'm doing everything right, but this past 1/2 month that scale isn't rewarding me much. I have faith it will....eventually.

6/01 162.4 lbs puzzled why it happened even though I was under calories.
6/02 163.2 lbs. Might be high sodium food yesterday and surplus 200 calories. I ran after a long time but as obvious you can't outrun a surplus diet.
6/03 162 lbs whoosh effect?
6/04 163 lbs no wonder! Had a family birthday party ate some cake,icecream and chicken, over by 250 calories and sodium bit high. Just want 1 lbs down this round, so today kept calories under and walked 14000 steps for damage control.

5/28- Memorial Day. 15 mile bike ride. Food was not where it was supposed to be with a few glasses of wine and ice cream.
5/29- 151.5- Already starting this round high from a couple days of being off plan and A. Flo being in town. Thursday, I fly to VT to see the family- yet another obstacle to overcome. It’s going to be a stressful round. Food was okay. Having difficulties with logging. TKD was a bust, but I did lift instead on the gym machines.
5/30- 150- Things are going back down.
5/31- Out of Town
6/01- Out of Town
6/02- Out of Town
6/03- Out of Town
6/04- This round is a bust. Which I figured would be the case. The rest of the challenge is going to be focused on getting myself back where I need to be with respect to food, exercise, and mental stability. Family sucks.
N- Food is packed and MFP is queued for a great day of logging. Back to Day One of staying within boundaries; N- Great. E- 30 min of cardio at 5 am; Mowed yard; 13k steps. S- Boo on Screens before bed; S- Left early for Hannah. No meditation.
6/05- 149.5. Not as bad as I was expecting this morning. Slept in. Cold kept me awake most of the day. Exercise- questionable. S & S- Need to relocate the phone.

5/28 93.1kg Night shift struggling to eat all my calories but made it to group Training!
5/29 92.8kg have been losing too quick need to try and meet calorie target, appetites back now my colds gone.
5/30 93.5kg first upwards blip. Was waiting for it. End of TOM and post night shift always put me at my heaviest for a few days. Another 5 days and I think it will settle down again
5/31 93.1 kg personal training yesterday, can’t decide what to make for dinner tonight
6/01 92.8kg and the scales have headed back down, quicker than I thought. Had the best cookie yesterday. Big socialising weekend ahead may be a challenge food wise.
6/02 92.1kg -700g overnight seems like a blip. Had friends over for dinner, they bought nice champagne so I indulged but stayed under maintenance
6/03 92.3kg yo-yo up and down this week, glad I’m using happy scale to watch the trend. Did well at the 18th party yesterday was under maintenance. BILs 40th bday today, aim for under maintenance then back to normal Monday.
6/04 92.7kg well this weeks has been an eye opener for fluctuation! Back to my regular pattern of eating so hopefully my weight settles
6/05 92.3kg discovered Chobani flip yoghurt yum! Trend weight 91.7
6/06 92.4 -1.1kg this round. It’s been interesting seeing just how much my weight fluctuates! Looking forward to the next round. I think I’ll make a more reasonable goal of 1kg next time!9 -

Round 42 GOAL = Log every day, even if I go over.
5/28 - 129.2 - yesterday gave up on everything. Not my best day
5/29 - 128.8 - yesterday logged food, stayed under maintenance, nice hike in the hills in the heat with hubs 5 miles, 600' climb, 85 degrees - hello summer, suddenly
5/30 - 128.8 - yesterday logged food, stayed under maintenance, took a walk at lunch and at least got 10K steps. Didn't oversnack on writing group Tuesday (yeah that's a thing).
Still feeling some anxiety during the day but I have slept well 5 nights in a row. Knee a little sore from Monday's hills I guess, wearing zero-drop runners to work
5/31 - 128.0 - yesterday logged and right at maintenance, 8K steps but knee is still ditzy.
6/1 - 127.8 - yesterday logged and just under maintenance, 6K steps just doing life, knee still fragile. Today - stay strong and don't eat 'em while I can't burn 'em. My pattern is: lose the weight, get injured exercising, be unable to discipline myself to drop cals from 2000 back to 1500 maintenance, regain the weight......
I AM STILL HERE LOGGING SO I WILL NOT DO THAT AGAIN, because (newsflash) losing the same 15-20 over and over is hard on my body!!! So this is my first big test: some pain I would be an idiot to exercise around. Got to drop the calories. One day at a time!
6/2 - 127.6 - yesterday just a smidgeon over maintenance calories, still babying sore knee, to bed early. Succeeding in logging food every day. Working out some exercises I can do with a sore knee, but unfortunately those don't really burn many calories...
6/3 - 127.2 - Yesterday logged all food, under maintenance calories and got in 30 minutes on an elliptical and some planks and crunches and pushups and stuff. Knee still sore when running but, I am proving to myself that I can work through a setback without regaining, in fact cruising back into the middle of maintenance zone. So yay!
6/4 - 127.6 - Yesterday a squidge over maintenance and managed no exercise, but logged. Very emo day; again, settling into maintenance it's good to have an emo day with a few extras but log, not continue the extras, feel pretty in- the-saddle with regard to my choices (as opposed to feeling dragged behind the horse)
6/5 - 128.2 - Yesterday under maintenance, 30 minutes elliptical, and 10K steps. Mind whirling all night, little sleep.

@brightresolve, I'm so sorry that you're going through a difficult time right now. I have an active mind and have trouble sleeping at night or sometimes, after a very active day, I'm too amped up to fall asleep. Magnesium oil has helped me tremendously. If I use it at any time during the late evening or right at bedtime, I sleep all night. Maybe it could help you to get some sleep too.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
5/28 136.5 WHOO HOO! Almost no carbs yesterday. Tracking again. It makes a difference. Almost 100 posts to read! Home from community picnic. One hamburger, one hotdog, a thin slice each of tomato and onion. I pinched a teeny bite of cookie from DH - 3 raisins and not much else!
5/29 137.5 Too much salt in the evening. This too shall pass.
5/30 137.5 Hurt my foot yesterday. A board fell over on it. Not a big board but it is swollen and bruised. I’m going to water fitness anyway and will see what I can do.
5/31 136.5 The bruise is fading but it still feels as if I’m walking on a cotton ball.
6/1 136.0 We took a road trip yesterday so I stayed off my foot most of the day. Swelling and bruise almost gone. Ate French fries yesterday, we’ll see if that causes a problem in a day or two!
6/2 135.0 WHOO HOO Tracking is paying off!
6/3 135.0
6/4 135.5 I ate something late because I had only had about 300 calories for the day. I need to stop doing that. I wasn’t hungry - that is what Keto does and it’s a signal that I am in ketosis and my body is using my fat stores for fuel. On the bright side, I put the Zumba DVD in and started learning some of the steps. I have 2 left feet!
6/5 135.5. Adjusted my macros so will work with these numbers for awhile and see what happens. I’m a work in progress! YIKES! Busy morning and I forgot to post! Haven’t read any posts!6 -

Round 42 (Round 1 for me)
Stats: Female, 53, 5’4”
HW: 281 lbs
SW: 200 lbs
GW: 195 lbs
UGW: 140 lbs
NSV Goal: to be truthful about my weight and my eating habits/routine
Day/Weight/Comment
5/28. 200 lbs. logged EVERYTHING I ate today. I had to force myself to do so. I can fool the apps but my body is showing what I eat anyway!!! Might as well be real with the apps!
5/29 199 lbs. logged everything- went over calorie limit by 39. Tomorrow I will work hard to not go over the limit. Planning is the key.
5/30 199 lbs. logged everything. The ugly lunch and the hideous dinner. I was all set to eat chicken breast and veggies for dinner. Then I saw krispy Krunchy chicken on 125th st. I HAD to try it. Oh my was it disgusting. Gotta kick the habit of every new place I see, I gotta try the food. The majority of the time, I am disappointed in the taste of the food.
5/31 199 lbs. honest logging still going on. Unfortunately I didn’t eat enough today. Know planning helps with this. Will do so on Saturday.
6/01 195 lbs didn’t eat enough today. But I did eat my pretzels. That was good for me.
6/02 192 lbs ate healthy for breakfast and dinner. Ate pretzels for lunch (that’s what I wanted). Will not have pretzels on Sunday. Might help me eat healthier.
6/03 192 lbs. did not have pretzels today. Instead I baked the #2ingredientdough and #2ingredientpineapplecake. I only ate one serving of each. Proud of myself. Man am I stuffed. Did 2.5 mile run this AM in park - doubly proud because I ran the entire thing. Getting back into the swing of running. Power walked 1 mile this AM also. Finished off today with several 30 day challenges Had more simple carbs today than usual. Let’s see if it affects me in the upcoming days.
6/04 189 lbs. Did the 30 day challenges this morning. Power walked 2.3 miles 12:30pm. Took cardio sculpting class from 6-7pm. Only had enough calories to eat 20 pretzels. That’s what I did. I actually didn’t think I could leave pretzels in the bag. But this and the other challenges I am in is making me even more aware of my eating habits and what I can do to change them.
6/05 189 lbs power walked for 1.03 miles this morning followed by a 1.64 mile run and ended with various 30 day challenges. Had to work late and I couldn’t make the cardio sculpting class (darn it!), so I did a brisk walk for 2.66 miles. Still honestly logging everything I eat.
