Day/Weight/Calories Day Before/10-day ave (aiming for 1340 from 6/12)/Comment

6/07 - 149.8 - 1526 - 10-day ave 1452
We went out for lunch yesterday (Mexican, but I had grilled chicken and rice with veggies), so although I stayed pretty much within calorie bounds, I'm sure my sodium was higher than usual. I spent a good hour digging and planting flowers in my garden.

6/08 - 149.8 - 1245 - 10-day ave 1421.4
OK, scale, I'm ready for a little drop if you don't mind. I'm keeping calories low, macros good, and I'm exercising, so come on, your turn.

6/9 - 149.8 - 1433 - 10-day ave 1435.5
Sigh. I really thought I'd see a little more movement here. My total calories are right at my estimated TDEE (maintenance), but I'm burning a reasonable number each day. Or I thought I was. I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing through the end of this round and see if there's any progress. If not, I'll look for a way to shake things up. It's pouring rain this morning, with lightning, so no walk, but I'll find something else.... Lunch with a friend, but I'll stick to good stuff. Have a lovely weekend, all!

6/10 - 149.6 - 1442 - 10-day ave 1448.9
Finally, a baby step in the right direction. I find these numbers & averages fascinating. There's still one high-calorie day in my 10-day set of numbers - it will be there for 2 more days. Without it, by average would be about 40 calories lower. I'll be interested to see what happens when I hit the lower averages (assuming I don't splurge again any time soon!). I do eat what I want - pizza for lunch yesterday with a friend - but still keep my daily total within bounds and that seems to make the difference. Anyway, if you find yourself frustrated with the daily ups & downs, try averaging, either yourself or using one of the apps that calculate running averages of weights entered.

6/11 - 150 - 1374 - 10-day ave 1456.6 (7-day ave 1421)
I'm officially frustrated. Phooey.

6/12 - 150 - 1325 - 10-day ave 1447.7 (7-day ave 1427)
Okay, whatever. I just reset my calories goal 90 lower than before. I'm not all that happy to be that low, although it's not much below my estimated TDEE, but will see what happens. I should be back to truly regular exercise by next week and will add back some calories then.

6/13 - 149.8 - 1345 - 10-day ave 1400 (7-day ave 1384)
Back again to what seems to be my body's favorite weight. But we're gonna break through it this time! Our days of rain seem to be over for a while, so I should be able to get at least one, maybe two walks in. A year ago I was walking 2-3 hours/day and losing on 1800 calories. I need to get back to that regime! (Have I said before that moving & being "in transition" for 4 months sucks?) Again, thanks for the inspiration - I read your comments and see that I have no excuse for not getting my exercise in!

6/14 - 148.8 - 1427 - 10-day ave 1404 (net 1216) (7-day ave 1370)
Finally!

6/15 - 150.4 - 1409 - 10-day ave 1417 (7-day ave 1393)
Crazy! The only reason I can think of for this increase is that I had Vietnamese lemongrass chicken, a little rice, one crab rangoon, one tiny eggroll, and a cup of clear soup for lunch. Maybe sodium (although it didn't seem that salty)? I walked an hour and did some heavy lifting in the garden, drank lots of water, and my calorie total & macros were fine. Hmmm. We'll see what happens tomorrow, although I'm going to an awards banquet tonight. I have a strategy, though.

6/16 - 150.6 - 1535 - 10-day ave 1406 (7-day ave 1408)
Color me flummoxed. The only explanation I have is that I didn't get as much water as usual yesterday (we sat in a car dealer's office for 3 hours and went to a banquet in the evening where they were very stingy with water, and I didn't want to drink soda or tank up when we got home late). Yes, I was a bit over goal yesterday, but my averages say I should at least hold steady, certainly not gain. I didn't get my walk in yesterday, either, but that wouldn't account for the gain. Then again, I was thinking this morning that at this rate, .2# every 10 days, it would take 3.5 years to lose the 20 pound I want to drop, but I flipped my thinking - that's a LOT better than gaining 20 pounds in the next 3.5 years! So all good, I'll keep on doing what I'm doing for another round and see what happens. See you at #44!

Round 43: My second round
SW: 182.0
RGW: 179.0
UGW: 130

R42 SW 186.6 EW 182 (-4.6)
Day/Weight/Comment

6/07 – 181.8: Miniscule drop, but I’LL TAKE IT!!! Ate well and didn’t eat back exercise calories. Really psyched for my Round 2. Thinking I’ll do another Booster Weekend. I didn’t do all the exercise I wanted last weekend, but the thought of my personal mini challenge kept me focused on eating well.

6/08 – 181.8: Same, and it’s ok. Did no workout yesterday and ate within calories but late. Planning how to stay on point this weekend with eating and exercise. Really want the downward creep to continue each day.

6/09 – 182.8: HUH??? This hurts my feelings because I ate within calories yesterday. Fine, I didn’t formally exercise, other than 45 minutes of housework, but seriously… a whole pound up??? This is too early in my journey for this. This is when I start to waiver, I NEED to go down please..

6/10 – 181.8: Back to starting weight at the beginning of this round. Grateful for this.

6/11 – 181.0: Late weigh in. Pleasant surprise since I had a Twizzlers attack last night. And not just the ordinary Twizzlers – the ones stuffed with creamy icing. I still managed to stay within calories, but way over on sugar and carbs. Gonna drink lots and lots of water today to flush it out.

6//12 – 181.0: Same. Below calories yesterday and one-hour walk. Would love to start running soon, but it’s been so long and I’m a bit nervous of injury. I really don’t want anything to stall my exercise, so I’ll take it slow, build strength and try a bit later. Hoping for a drop tomorrow.--
6/13 – 181.8: Hmmm. Trying not to overreact to this yoyo week. Last night, sweet cravings took over and I blew it. Note to self: next time DH calls to say “would you like anything [read junk food] from the grocery store” say NO!!! Twizzlers (again) and Sweet and Heat popcorn. My unevolved lizard brain is in control of my eating. I also jinxed myself and injured my knee on my walk yesterday. Yes, this is how far gone I am … I injured myself WALKING.

6/14 – 181.8: Well now! I want to be indignant because I ate within calories, but here is the lesson I learned today: weight loss is NOT just the result of calories in and calories out. It is the quality of calories in that makes the difference. For almost 95 per cent of the time, I am within calories. However, I regularly eat candy and chips in single servings so that I remain within my calorie limit, but it shows poorly on the scale. So, the scientific equation for me must be clean calories in, calories out. Doesn’t look like I’ll make my round goal weight of 179 or even close to it this time, but hey … I learned an important lesson, right???

6/15 -- 182.4

6/16 – 182.6: Boo!!!

6/09 147.7 ~ (Steps 19,307) The day was extremely busy, I decide to take to a walk in after dinner which felt awesome....

6/10 145.9 ~ (Steps 18,495) Yesterday, seemed to flow easily, I seriously need that!

6/11 145.9 ~ (Steps 17,580) Another successful day with my goals. I would be thrilled if I could drop a couple more pounds before Sunday....

Round 43/Round 1 for me. Late start on 6/10

SW: 152.7
UGW: 125
RGW: 130/135
Weekly goal: lose one pound, exercise 6 days a week a minimum of 30 minutes. Minimum 30 minutes cardio daily.

6/10: 152.7 - humbling moment after not weighing myself for two years
6/11: 151.5 - in an ironic twist of fate I ate lots of "naughty food yesterday but kept portions in check and lost a pound. Got in lots of exercise so that helped I suppose. Getting back in the swing of logging everything. Today's goal is to continue to log and up my protein intake -- trying to balance macros better.
6/12: 151.7 - kinda what I expected. No exercise yesterday, too much salt in my diet yesterday, three days till estimated TOM start day, whole lot of insomnia last night. Suffering from really bad allergies, headache and asthma, smoke in the air from wildfires and I don't feel like doing a darn thing. Today I'm focusing on gallons of water!
6/13: 152.6 - back to where I started, ugh. PMS, bloat, emotional eating last night and no exercise the last two days. Zero motivation. Trying to not beat myself up and instead treat myself gently and get curious about why I feel so stuck and unmotivated and frankly, depressed. Trusting it's just the standard PMS hormones that will hopefully resolve on Friday or Saturday.
6/14: MIA.
6/15: 152.0 - no surprise here. I've had almost no exercise this week, tremendous PMS and water retention that won't abate, zero energy and half-a**ed healthy eating. Today: water, water, water, water and at least a gentle walk on the treadmill. Traveling all next week and already stressing about how to fit in exercise and make good food choices. Eek!

My habit of logging here is working as well in maintenance as it did while losing. Wishing everyone a god round!

Round 42 GOAL = Log every day. Get 5 cardio workouts. Get 5 mini strength workouts.

6/7 - 126.4 - whoosh of -2 pounds in a day. This takes me back to my pre-vacation range, getting rid of the bit I gained AFTER coming back. Yesterday just under maintenance calories, 30 min elliptical arctrainer, and tested my recovering knee in a 1.25 mile run ... it passed!
6/8 - 127.0 - Yesterday right at maintenance calories, RAN 2.2 MILES, walked an extra bit, and got my 10K steps.
6/9 - 127.4 - Yesterday under maintenance by 100 or so, ran 2 miles, and did a little body-weight strength workout, just starting. 10K steps.
6/10 - 128.0 - Yesterday 170 over maintenance calories and I LOGGED IT ANYWAY (that has been a fight for me so yay). Left Knee has gotten jealous of Right Knee and decided it wanted extra massage, the neoprene sleeve, arnica, and biofreeze TOO. Unfortunate, but maybe I shouldn't have done so many body weight lunges and squats barefoot on a cushy rug while watching the Warriors win the title Friday night. Nonetheless, 10K steps and a short walk.
6/11 - 128.4 - Yesterday under maintenance calories, 13K steps, and a workout that mixed short run, elliptical with sprints, and a little strength
6/12 - 126.8 - Yesterday under maintenance calories, 8K steps and at least got a few strength exercises in. Emotional day.
6/13 -126.8 - Yesterday under maintenance calories. It was just a day to get through and learn from. Here's to less self-caused emotional drama today.
Progress report: have accomplished 3/5 cardio workouts and 3/5 mini strength workouts so far. Time to finish strong, I see how anxiety the last couple of days affected my plan.
6/14 - 126.0 - Yesterday under maintenance calories - I have a little insurance built in and try to stay under as I let my fitbit burn sync up, and I consider that total to be "maintenance calories." Great run last night, most since the knees started feeling fragile: 3.75 miles.
6/15 - 126.8 - Yesterday 14 calories over maintenance. Hahaha! Got a nice mini-strength workout at lunch hour with some planks and stuff, 7K steps.

6/16 -127.8 - AAAAAND there it is, to end the round: covered on-call unexpectedly for a couple hours, was unusually hungry, almost 600 calories over, went to bed at 8:00. Good news is, I slept almost 11 hours. So happy weekend, and on to the next round!

R42 * Start = 126.4 * Ave = 127.1 * Min = 126.0 * End = 127.8

I am very happy with this, the average is back towards the lower part of my 125-130 maintenance zone.

Two goals for this round:

1. Reach 10K steps for 7/10 days--2/10
2. Drink 2L of water a day

R43: SW: 218.2

Day/Weight/Comment
6/07--219.2 I have no idea where the increase came from. Working on water today.
6/08--218.2 There it goes. Got my water in yesterday.
6/09--218.0 Going back down slowly. Working on making sure I get my water in this weekend. It's supposed to be a rainy weekend so I am planning on getting out when there is a break in the weather and get my steps in.
6/10--219.2 Chinese food water retention. Based on my past experience the water weight will stick around for 2-3 days. Got my steps in yesterday and already did Kettlebell for today. Going out to a bbq today, so it will be a good challenge for me to stay focussed on my balanced eating.
6/11--219.3 Surprised it wasn't higher. Between the soreness from Kettlebell and the small amount of water I drank yesterday, I was expecting more water weight to show up on the scale. I kept within my calories yesterday even though I went the bbq, so that was a success.
6/12--219.5 Sore from Kettlebell and not a great sleep. This has been a weird round for the scale. I will just keep doing what I need to do and let the scale do what the scale wants to do. Got walk in yesterday.
6/13--219.3 Woke up feeling heavy this morning. I looked back over my food diary and realized that for the past few days I have had little to no vegetables and very little fiber. I am going to work on increasing both over the next few days and see how I feel.
6/14--218.0 Feeling less heavy this morning. It's amazing how quickly your body can respond to a change in eating habits. Will continue to be conscious about the amount of fiber I am eating.
6/15--217.1 Weight loss is such a mental game.
6/16--217.5 What a weird round. While my ending weight is lower than my starting weight, my average weight is higher. However, I was happy to see that I ended the round much lower than I started, so at least the trend is downward and it's a great start for the next round.

I am in! Going to try a little different follow-up by adding my final weights from each round. So even though I have been doing this off and on for a while. Let's see if that doesn't give me some additional motivation (just not going to go back to look up the weights, will go from this point forward). Bring it on Round #43! I will be on the move beginning 6/10, so not sure about scale availability.

@troutt3677 You’re welcome. I know it took me 50 years and a couple of rounds of these challenges to see the “big picture.”

6/07 168.00

6/08 166.8 Had a tough PM last night and overindulged in carbs, surprising that it didn't show up on the scale but I am grateful. I will get some exercise today for sure and hopefully get rid of the bloat!

6/09 166.6 I succumbed again last night to sweets after dinner, going over my calorie budget again. My husband is out of town and I feel like this is my "excuse" or the cause of my lack of motivation in the evening. I am surprised yet again that it didn't show up on the scale, but I will not push my luck for a third day in a row. I started the day both days really great, its just the 8 pm and later that has me struggling. Or not really struggling, just kind of saying what the heck, and going for it. Today is a new day. I can't change the past only move forward.

6/10 166.6 3rd night in a row where I overindulged.

6/11 166.6 so incredibly grateful to read everyone's challenges so similar to mine. It is hard sometimes to remember that it is a journey, a process, to enjoy the ride and not be so hard on myself. I had a really great day yesterday, a little over my calorie allowance, but I feel really good this morning because I made good choices. Today is going to be a great day!

6/12 166.8 I am actually super ok with this small gain, knowing that weighing myself daily will not be the best indicator of long term success. I was on plan and have already mapped out my meal plan for tomorrow. NSV-Maintained my calm all day in spite of outside forces attempting to lure me into stress. Eating on plan with one small exception of a bite of a cinnamon roll. I did indulge in 2 fiber one bars which I need to limit to 1 max a day tomorrow.

6/13 165.8 So stoked to be down a pound today, yesterday I had a really good day. I tried something different with my eating, upping the protein to 120 calories by including egg whites, tilapia or chicken breast at every meal. This also helped me stay satisfied and away from extra snacking. It was more protein than I am used to but unless this was fluke my body seems to like it. I will be doing the same today and hope to maintain that loss.

6/14 166.6 Spend 11 hours at the hospital with my mom for her surgery, so fasted until late then ate too much, including cinnamon roll french toast and 3 bars. I will just count this as a "cheat day" and stress eating, and plan on a better day today. I know this has to be a livable lifestyle change. I have learned over the 30+ years I have spent dieting that losing weight is the easy part, maintaining is the challenge. I am working to maintain a healthy lifestyle, that includes occasionally allowing myself to let go and indulge, just to be sure to buckle back in the next meal, or the next day in this case.

6/15 168.8 Another off the program day, definitely some emotional eating going on with buttered toast, cookies, and a don't care mindlessness. That carb bloat comes on fast. I have until my Monday weigh in to get back down below 167.6

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

6/7 136.5 I was feeling frustrated when I weighed this morning until I realized, I am still below my original goal weight. Working on changing my mind set.
6/8 136.0
6/9 136.5
6/10 136.5
6/11 135.0. Yesterday we cleaned our daughter’s carpets since they were gone until last night. Lots of going up and down stairs which I would not have been able to do a year ago due to knee pain. THANK YOU KETO!
6/12 135.5 Awake and up before 5. Too darn early! Today is my 1 year JGM10D anniversary. Although I was getting ready to be taking several trips before mid-July I decided I would use 10 days JUST ONCE. I didn’t realize it would go on forever but I am so glad it has. It’s my better addiction!
6/13 135.5 Early weigh in and Late post as I had to finish an ebook before it was retrieved. I have been very distracted lately. I took one of our granddaughters to lunch yesterday and then we walked around the mall. Got over 130% of my step goal. Ate all Keto but too much. I need to get my focus back. DH is stressing over the work the landscaper has done and says he should have done it himself. It’s 109* right now and at this age he doesn’t need to be digging trenches for watering system and hauling rock! His stress is causing me stress!!
6/14 134.0 Over on everything and had the first glass of wine since last fall, which I didn’t track. And I’m down 1.5#.
6/15 134.0 My daughter told me a few weeks ago that I wasn’t eating enough calories. Several days I was at about 775, but I wasn’t hungry. This week it doesn’t seem to matter what I’m eating, my calories and macros are over BUT my weight has dropped. This morning I looked at the calories expended on my Garmin app and since June 1st, they average about 1360. I need to examine my macros. Maybe my daughter was right.
6/16 133.5 I just weighed and I’m down another 1/2#. This is still confusing to my brain that was told for so long to cut back on fats and portions. Calories in/calories out? I don’t think so.

Day/Weight/Comment

•6/7 -196.6 - Oh yeah. My tag-a-long friend.
•6/8 - 196.2 - My actual weight and this water retention is so funny to me. I guess I will see 195.6 again or less by the end of the 10 days. That seems to be the trend.
•6/9 - I weighed in at 198 very early this morning. No opportunity to weigh at my usual time. The increase was surely due to the fact that I took 20ozs of water filled with electrolytes to bed with me. I needed it. It was a hot day yesterday. Ran errands until late afternoon and cooked all evening. My granddaughter, 4, and grandson, 18 mos, were with me today. Five hours of coloring, painting, sticker activities, reading, music and nursery rhyme videos, climbing on me and lap sitting. I'm tired now. I had to rely on my peanut butter as my mid-day meal. I NEVER get to eat an actual meal when they are visiting. I'm feeding them all day though. My water intake is on the low side too. Why? I give those little rascals water, but they drink mine. Smh. I guess mine tastes better to them. Can't wait for the next visit.
•6/10 - 199.2 - Not alarmed by this weigh in. I just didn't weigh before consuming 16 ozs of water and 2 large mugs of coffee.
•6/11 - 195.2
•6/12 - 195.6 - Early weigh in
•6/13 - 196 - Early start, early weigh in and coffee. No water yet! Very unlike me. My routine will have slight disruptions the rest of the week due to Grands being sick daycare closing early, daycare graduation

•6/14 - 196.2 - Early weigh in - Despite the late start on my water consumption yesterday, I managed 136 ozs of fluid, 64 ozs of it water. I'm tired this morning, legs feel heavy, but no time for that, the Grands will be here shortly.
•6/15 - 196.6 - Personal plumbing issues no doubt


•6/16 - 194.2 - I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but today I'm all smiles :bigsmile: Looking back over the 10 days, they were a battle. I really did not expect a loss.

Handled a restricted diet (tracked everything & exercises lots) in 6/9-10 & no food yesterday. Looking forward to my regular foods!” Now!!
6/13 169.8 10-day moving average: 168.4
Calories are down significantly & I kept exercising. Body is adjusting to hot temps, no fiber for 3-1/2 days, refined flour and sugar for first time in 6-8 months.. I’m sure it will all be back to normal soon. Probably just in shock LOL
6/14 168.4 10-day moving average:168.3
Yes! I’ve learned a lot these past 5 days!
My body is getting back to normal now that the prep and the test is over, and I’m eating my regular foods (high fiber, low sodium, etc) again. I’m seeing why I was overweight ... and yes, obese, before... AND why I’m not now. I had my first non-homecooked meal in 7-8 months last night - a very special event. I was mindful of every bite and enjoyed it greatly. But I was also mindful that even though I had not overeaten, I didn’t actually feel as good. With my foods (pretty simple fare), I always feel good. A very pleasant discovery!
6/15 168.8 10-day moving average: 168.3
A business dinner last night - the last thing like this - back to homecooked. Stayed under my calories & paid attention to my body since then. Reminded me totally of how I felt before changing my diet. Fake uncomfortable hunger early in AM, and other things that would be TMI.
Have only gotten 5-6K steps for a few days due to ankle instead of my 10K+. I’ve iced it and strapped it; I really want to go hiking. It’s difficult for me to know when to rest it & when to keep exercising.

6/16 168.610-day moving average:168.3 I am at my revised goal weight & my 10 day trend is down 1/2 lb. Even though this is the first time my weight has gone backwards in a Round, I’m proud of myself for continuing to eat under calorie goal, exercise daily, and continue to post. I can feel I’ve gained muscle this week, which is my real goal currently! On to Round 44!

RGW: 168 or lower & 10-day moving average decreasing or maintaining.

Eating with small or no deficit & continuing to boost length & intensity of daily long walks/hikes and upping the weights at Pilates. Focus: health
