Just Give Me 10 Days
5'2", Female, Serial Starter, Loss 65lbs in 6 months with MFP in 2013 (250lbs to 185lbs). Did it once, can do it again. Confident it’ll stick this time. SW: 250lbs (05/28/18), UGW: 140-150lbs
R43 SW 240.4
R44 SW 237.2
R45 SW 235.0
Goal this round: More accurate logging by cooking more during weekends. Start exercise routine probably some kind of beginners work out video on YouTube. Recommendations appreciated. Good luck everyone!
Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 235.0! Changed my logging to just putting round start weights since there’s been a difference from the last day of the previous round to the first day of the new round. Between R43 and R44 there was a -0.4lb difference. Between R44 and R45 -1.5lbs!!! I think my consistency from last round paid off even though the scale wasn’t reflecting that. I’m glad I didn’t let it mentally de-rail me. Great way to start a round!
6/28- 234.0 TWO THIRTY-FOUR! Yippee!
6/29- 234.4 Still learning to take the ups in stride. Late weigh in. Within calories yesterday but carb heavy dinner.
6/30- 235.4 Very bummed and disappointed in myself yesterday. Chick Fil A for breakfast. Pizza for dinner. Restless night with the baby. Trying to get head back in game. Up water today and planning an active day with the kids.
7/01- 234.8 Focusing on the positive: weight is down from yesterday, start of round, and since I restarted. I’m still averaging 3lb loss per week since Memorial Day. I’m doing great.
7/02- 234.2 Looks like AF is still working out the post partum schedule. Second time in less than 2 weeks. Ugh. Might explain the weight rollercoaster.
7/03- 232.4 I know the chances of this sticking isn’t likely but I took joy in stepping off/on the several times just to see this number pop up.
7/04- 232.5 Could it be?! I’m hopeful the 232ish will stick til the end of round. AF still visiting but at least there’s no cravings this time. Looks like we’ll be rained out for Independence Day so no big plans. Happy Birthday ‘Murica!
7/05- 232.6 Ended up at Luby’s for dinner so sodium intake was probably through the roof. Son didn’t finish his plate but wasn’t enough left to take home so I picked at it mindlessly. A few bites of mac n cheese and mashed potatoes add up quickly. Bad habit that I’d been good at breaking so far.
7/06- 231.4! Great day yesterday. Well under calorie goal. Even had a few Doritos. Great motivator to continue to practice mindful eating. Budgeting for wine and cake at a wedding this evening. See y’all at the next round. I missed the link. Has it been posted?8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 - 164 - I'm not surprised by the little bump up from yesterday.
6/28 - 164.5 - So my rollercoaster weight graph continues...I've been below my weight loss calories all week, so this has to be water. I'll see if I can sweat it out while I'm mowing our lawn tonight.
6/29 - 163.5 - I didn't mow the lawn last night, but I did take a mile walk in a local park. I'm realizing that the closer I get to my goal weight, the more of an effort I'm going to have to make to exercise.
6/30 - 162.5 - I don't expect this to stick, but it's nice to see.
7/01 - 164 - Sitting outside in the 90+ degree heat last night drinking a gin and diet tonic did not help with the water weight.
7/02 - 164 - Oh well, I joined this challenge when I was stuck between 173 and 174 for 2 weeks, so I'm glad it's here to get me through another plateau.
7/03 - 164 - After seeing this number again, I grabbed my measuring tape and checked my measurements. From 2 weeks ago I'm down a total of 1.25 inches, including a half inch off my waist. I'll take it!
7/04 - 163.5 - I'm glad I'm down a little weight just in time to go to a 4th of July picnic. I'm going to enjoy myself and just eat smaller portions of the food there. I'm braced for the weigh in tomorrow.
7/05 - 164.5 - I went a couple hundred calories over maintenance, but the food was really good. My daughter hosted the party and a lot of the side dishes were vegan. Cashews have a lot of calories, but it's amazing the dishes you can create with them. She also made us blender "ice cream" with 2 frozen bananas, 2 TB of peanut butter, and 2 TB of almond milk. We couldn't believe how good it tasted.
7/06 - 163 - My scale jumped between 162.5 and 163.5 several times this morning, so I'm taking the average. See you next round!7 -

6/27 – 195lbs – up a couple pounds from yesterday but ate and drank a lot. Also not enough sleep.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 - 189.2 - Yesterday was not the healthiest eating day although I did manage to exercise most of the calories off. I'm going to try some different things this round and see how it goes.
6/28 - 187.8 That makes more sense. Yesterday I decided not to have breakfast, I want to see how that affects my overall eating for the day. It went well, I didn't struggle trying to keep my calories in check. I'll try it again today.
6/29 - 187.0 - Had an executive in town yesterday that insisted on a burger place for lunch. Nothing low cal on the menu at all! Still managed to stay in the green for the day, but so frustrating.
6/30 - 185.6 - I'm not going to get excited by this today, I seem to see 185 once every challenge for the last 3 and then it disappears again.
7/01 - 188.6 Well good thing I didn't get excited yesterday.
7/02 - 189.2 - I think this is a result of the salt I've had the last couple of days. Lots of water today and see what happens.
7/03 - 187.6 - At least back to where I started.
7/04 - 187.6 -
7/05 - 187.8 -
7/06 - 186.6 - This one actually looks like a loss!9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
•6/27 - 194.4 - Tired. Need water and COFFEE! Got things to do. I can't wait out spongebarb this morning.
•6/28 - 195.2 - 16ozs of water before stepping on the scale.
•6/29 - 193.6
•6/30 - Didn't even think to weigh this morning.
•7/1 - 194.2 - Almost forgot to weigh again. When the weather is hot, one of my first thoughts upon waking is to drink some water. I did. I enjoyed a couple of cubes of watermelon and cantaloupe yesterday with my breakfast. Sooo good and sweet. I was sooo bloated the rest of the day from the sugars. July is the month I give myself to enjoy a bit of fruit, so I expect bloat and weight loss stall. I also need to make some infused water with cucumber, lemon and parsley. I'm 7 weeks away from my weight loss journey 1 yr anniversary.
•7/2 - 192.4 - Muddled some fresh picked mint leaves and added to my water yesterday. No bloating and so refreshing! It was BLAZING HOT! Heat index of 106° I really hate it when the heat index card is drawn. "SIGH" our month of suffering high heat and humidity began with a BANG.
•7/3 - 194.2 - Okay
•7/4 - 193.2 - 193.2 - OMGosh, I don't know HOW I managed the entire day on 16ozs of water! If it wasn't for coffee I would have been dehydrated. I will have to lay the blame on being indoors in the air conditioned environment and just not focusing attention on myself. I didn't even start the day with water. I have not done that in years! Busy and happy day with all the grands
:bigsmile:
•7/5 - 194 - Long hot day. Not enough water and not enough to eat until very late. DH and I were at Son and DIL's again yesterday. DH took them crabs and they cooked out. My gut was feeling a bit under the weather until about 2pm. Ate 2 turkey burgers and had my dinner after returning home.
•7/6 - 193.2 - Early weigh in. Leap frogged this weight back and forth for the 10 days, so, no loss. That is acceptable. This is the month that I assess what foods I can eat, once in a whi!e, outside of keto.

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

Round 44
Start Weight: 171

Total Lost: 5.2 lbs
Round 45 Goal: 163 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: Weight = 165.8 Scale hasn't moved in 3 days...Will just keep doing what I'm doing and hope for a whoosh to be coming! Completed Day 8 of The Betty Rocker 30 Day Challenge yesterday which was an Abs workout and was under in calories for the day. My hamstrings are a bit tight today so I'm going to do some stretches and get in a short shake out run before today's Day 9 workout. This group really motivated me to stay committed the last round, hoping to do the same this round!
6/28: Weight = 165.4 Well, the scale finally moved a small bit down after 4 days, but not sure it is real. I had to get on and off a couple of times before this number showed up, the numbers were all over the place. I don't want to say it is discouraging, because it just motivates me more to stay committed but it is a bit of a bummer to not see any real progress so far this week. Exercise and food wise, yesterday was right on target. I was right on my calorie goal, hit my macros, went for a short run, completed day 10 of my exercise challenge which was a full body workout. I didn't have any gluten, diet cokes or alcohol & drank plenty of water. I still have a lot of pain in my calves, which I am pretty sure is DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). I know those small muscle tears can retain water, so I am hopping that is the cause of the scale not going down. Today is a yoga day, thankfully! I'm also not going to have the protein powder I started using a couple of days ago, in my diet today. That's the only thing new I've added in this week, so maybe it could be the sneaky culprit
6/29 Weight = 165.4 Ugh!!! So frustrating! I don't think I have every tried to lose weight and had this happen. There had better be a huge Woosh in my future
The good news is the DOMS in my calves in lessening, so hopefully the scale will start to move again. Yesterday was a good day food wise, ate according to plan, hit my calories and my macros, IF 16:8, didn't have gluten, diet coke, or alcohol, and had plenty of water. I completed day 11 of my exercise challenge which was yoga and gave my sore legs a bit of a rest. It's hot here today, for the 1st time in a week or so (upper 90's) but still going to try to get a short run in and then do my cardio workout that is scheduled. Heading to the beach early tomorrow morning for a day trip, so will have to be up even earlier to get my workout in. Dreading the swimsuit.
6/30 Weight = 165.8 so that number is back, what a surprise *sarcasm* I bought a new scale yesterday and did a side by side weigh in and was .5 lbs higher on the new scale. This morning's weigh-in in on the new scale, so it would've been 165.3 on the old scale, which would've been a tiny loss. It is what it is. I ran yesterday outside in the hot hot heat, did my day 12 challenge which was cardio blast (jump squats and push ups ladders) and ate within my calories and macros + had a glass and half of red wine. I'm going to up my calories a little bit this upcoming week and see if that shakes anything up on the scale. Will I ever get out of the 165's??????? Headed to the beach now, and will have to really work hard to stay within my goals today food wise. Have a great Saturday everyone!
7/01 Weight = 165.6 (new scale) Had a great day at the beach yesterday! I had a juice smoothie before we left and then tried to make the smartest food choices I could, based on what the options were. Lunch was from a beach shack, so ZERO healthy options. I had a cheeseburger/no bun, just the patty. Dinner was an Italian restaurant so I ordered two appetizers as my main course which were 2 meatballs and sauteed broccoli with garlic. I avoided all beach snacks but did enjoy a Margarita with dinner, made "Italian style" with Amaretto added in, so probably loaded with calories but so delicious after a hot day at the beach. We got home around 9:30 last night but I still made myself complete my day 13 exercise challenge, which was Pilates, so not too strenuous. I definitely didn't drink my usual amount of water yesterday and it is going to be a record high here today, so going to be getting in lots and lots of water today. Happy July everyone!
7/02 Weight = 165.1 YES!!!!!! Thrilled with this number
Finally some movement on the scale. My goal for this round was to be in the 163s but that's probably not happening after last week's plateau, I'll just be happy to be out of these horrible 165s. Yesterday was miserably & uncharacteristically hot. I put off doing my workout until later hoping the heat would lessen (we don't have AC downstairs, only window units upstairs in bedrooms) but at 9:30 p.m. it was still 91 degrees/103 with heat index, so I had to bite the bullet and just get it done. So day 14 of my exercise challenge was completed, it was an Upper Body workout. Super hot here again today and the scheduled workout is a Full Body Tabata style, it is going to be hard but I will get it done. Going to get in a lot of water and be super careful of my food choices today, I want to see 165 gone tomorrow when I get in the scale.
7/03 Weight = 164.0 SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!! Good-bye 165's and may I NEVER see you again! Although, this could just be a water weight loss due to all the buckets of sweat that I sweated yesterday in an un-air conditioned house. I completed my day 15 workout at 7 pm in my living room when the temp had finally dropped to about 90 degrees, because who doesn't want to do an intense Tabata workout in a sauna and then immediately went into the even hotter kitchen and cooked dinner, which was a stir-fry, so I had to stand over a hot stove for 15 minutes...madness! Hopefully the loss will stick around, but if it bumps up a little no worries, I 'll get there. My new scale has all these bells and whistles and one is showing body fat percentage and muscle mass. Not sure if these are accurate or not but the body fat number has gone down and the muscle mass is going up. Tomorrow is measurement day, excited to see what if any proof that actual changes are going on.
7/04 Weight = 165.8, so that number is back again. No reason for it except the universe is enjoying messing with me. I ate under calories yesterday, hit my macros, lots of water, went for a run, completed day 16 of my exercise challenge which was an active recovery day with just full body stretches. I did my measurements today and they are definitely smaller across the board then 10 days ago when I was also 165.8, so at least there's that. Just going to ride this out...
7/05 Weight = 165.6, it's like Groundhog Day (the movie) around here with the scale Even though these numbers show a struggle, I'm in a great mindset about my weight loss journey, am really happy with the exercise program I'm on and really, really happy with the food choices I am making. I am eating fairly "clean" and limiting sugar, gluten, dairy, processed foods, and alcohol - I just feel better when I limit these things. But I'm totally okay with modifying this when I want, I'm not going to call it "cheating" because that puts a negative spin on it which I don't think is healthy (for me) when it comes to food. Yesterday was one of those days, I pre-planned & pre-logged and was a able to create a great 4th of July menu, where I got to enjoy the foods I wanted to. We had beer chicken on the grill, bourbon-peach baked beans, tomato salad, chips & dip, and there were gorgeous fresh cherries in the store yesterday so I made a cherry pie as well, served with vanilla ice cream. I was under calories for the day and on target for my macros and that I think is more successful than anything the scale can tell me. Plus had a super fun time using the Slip and Slide with my daughter, that had to burn some calories, right? And made sure I got in my day 17 of my exercise plan with was a Core workout. I hope everyone in the US had a great 4th and if you went over calories yesterday, don't regret it or beat yourself up, just get back at it today!
7/06 Weight = 164.9 My scale is a rollercoaster ride, but at least today, I've got my hands up in the air, yelling with joy, as it plummets down! I didn't make my original goal of being in the 163's but met my revised goal of being below 165, just squeaked that in! Yesterday was an okay eating day, ate under calories but wasn't hungry during the day at all, a little hungry went I went to bed but I do IF 16:8 so I don't have anything after dinner. I completed day 18 of my exercise challenge which was a full body shred (skater jumps, bicep curls, push-ups, squat jumps, Sumo squats, & kickboxing). On to day 19 of my exercise challenge today which is a booty workout. I got a Fitbit yesterday, so I'm excited to start tracking my steps and moving more. Hoped to get a run in today but it is pouring rain and thunderstorms all day, have to put it off until tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who posted here over the last 10 days, you helped keep me motivated to keep pushing through this! I hope maybe I did the same for you. See you in round 46

Day/Weight/Comment
6/27 - Wednesday - 196.6 - Worked really hard to avoid stress eating last night - stayed within calories and made dinner at home after some less than stellar news at work. HUGE WIN - as I normally would have went straight for the comfort foods on the way home. Now to continue on with good planning and choices because the stress shall remain for a while. Cheesesteak stuffed pepper for dinner tonight for me and cheesesteak sandwich for DH. Breakfast smoothie and lunch prepped and packed and made it to work on the early side so feeling good about all those things. Going to an outdoor concert friday and packing a picnic so need to plan that menu. Lots of planning has gotten me this far and I'm finally starting to enjoy the habit.
6/28 - Thursday - 196.4 - I believe TOM is imminent. I'm feeling a bit bloated and I've been hanging out at the same weight for 3 days - which is a pattern I've noticed the past two months. Also a carb monster. I've been around 100g of carbs the past few days - today is around 150g and I'm okay with that. I planned my day of eating around pizza for dinner but I need to get more protein in - and in different ways than my protein shake - getting sick of it and that's when things turn bad for me. Going to get a bunch of those tuna packets and make that my afternoon snack. Last night was good - took a nice walk and had a steak and cheese low carb wrap instead of the pepper but it all worked out. Need to do some prep tonight to get ready for tomorrow evening outdoor concert as we will probably leave from work so it will be a busy night tonight. I find I'm managing stress a LOT better. Good food = good vibes for me. If I was going thru what I am now, 6 months ago, my head would have been buried in a pot of pasta. Feeling healthy, hopeful, and strong.
6/29 - Friday - 196.2 - Good night last night - stuck to food plan. A bit of a self sabotage morning - I skipped making breakfast smoothie - but I did bring my protein powder. I didn't pack lunch - we didn't have much to pack. I bought donuts for the work crew - but havent eaten one yet! Hmmm...alright so to avoid falling prey to the traps I have set for myself, I will; drink my protein shake by 11, make a reasonable choice for lunch (maybe panera or taco bell cantina bowl?), log it and move on whatever happens. Picnic tonight - stopping at the grocery store on the way and I CANNOT be starving when we are shopping or I'll overeat tonight. Stick to - 1 bread, 1 cheese, 1 meat,1 dried fruit, 1 type of nuts - also possibly something from the prepared food; some time of protein? Cookies for dessert. Today is my 20 but need to remind myself not to make a whole weekend out of it! Back to basics tomorrow. Be in the moment and ENJOY tonight with DH.
6/30 - Saturday - 196.4 - reeeaaally holding on to this number. Awesome night last night and miraculously ate around maintenance with some really tasty foods. Had a midnight munchies attack on the way home tho, almost stopped at Wendy's but made it home to snack on some chips and salsa. Feeling good today but need a lot of water!!!
7/01 - Sunday - 196.6 - This is the most days in a row I've seen a number stay the so close to the same. Crazy hot and humid and definitely not enough water. Busy day grocery shopping, farm stand, and butcher. Cooked a bunch of pad thai, and grilled shrimp for food prep/lunch - had mahi mahi tacos with mango chutney and cole slaw for dinner. Hip is bothering me, not sure what that is all about.
7/02 - Monday - 197.4 - Can't say I'm terribly surprised - still no TOM, still hot and humid and hip is now killing me. Managed to get a lot done yesterday but there is never enough hours in the day - kitchen is still trashed from all the food prep yesterday but I was just too hurting to tackle it. I think I'll do some baby steps tonight as to straighten up a bit but not further flare up my hip. Good news is I'm back at it today with a breakfast smoothie, wrap for lunch, tuna packet snack, and dinner planned and cooked. Our family has birthday's 7/3 and 7/5 so the next 3 days are celebrations...not so sure how this round is going to end up but I'm visualizing the scale at 195.6 despite it all.
7/03 - Tuesday - 197.0 - Hip is feeling the slightest bit better - but still bothersome. Working today until 3ish and then heading up the the lake to start 4th of July/Birthday celebrations. Breakfast and lunch packed and logged and being mindful tonight but I'm not the cook so I'll eat what is served. I will need to make sure I don't go up there hungry - because then I will devour anything and everything - so a tuna packet before I go probably with a few crackers... I'll log that now and stick to it! I'll also consider taking a walk while I'm up there, both to get a breather from the crowd and to add some exercise calories to enjoy! Probably wont have a weigh in tomorrow as we will most likely be spending the night.
7/04 - Wednesday - no weigh in took the day off entirely from logging
7/05 - Thursday - 197.6 - TOM finally arrived. Indulged a bit over the vacation - first time I took a whole day off in the past 80 days and I was quite alright with it. The important part it that I get right back to it. Today is another relaxed day, logging wise. DH Birthday and an unprepared day so I'm taking it for what it is - I'll log it but not going to stress. Looks like I'll probably end this round with a gain - but I'll take this round as a lesson in what my body does when it's tired, stressed, injured but also what it's capable of doing despite it all; swimming, cooking, playing, chasing - I'm happy with where I am, how far I've come, what life is becoming and the joy I'm having getting there. Hip is better!
7/06 - 196.2 - Okay so I saw ALL kinds of numbers this morning - 199.2 when I first awoke - YIKES! Then 198 then 197 then down to 196 so that's probably not even very accurate but it's the last number I saw so that's what getting recorded today. I honestly was not all that surprised by the 199.2 anyway. Chinese food last night for DH birthday and I ate all the salty things over the holiday and took a full day off for the first time. This round was the first time my weight stayed so static - between TOM, heat, two birthdays and a holiday I'm pleased overall, but I do see that "just a little" celebrating can lead me astray pretty quickly. I've built a lot of great habits and made lots of improvements but overall I'm still new to a lot of this and it's not quite second nature but I will get there! Another unplanned and busy day so I'm not expecting it to be stellar food wise. But I will log it and I will move on - forward in the direction of my goals again! Even if it's baby steps, forward is forward. See ya next round!5 -
I notice that I keep making the same typo over and over. I'll write my weight as 24x when I mean 23x, or 23x when I mean 22x. My brain is struggling to keep up with my body!

6/27 at 7:15 / 227.4 / Wow! That's 2.6 pounds overnight. I had a drop like that last round, too, though I bounced right back up. Sometimes, I imagine my body is laughing like that cartoon dog with the weird laugh as I get on the scale. "Let's see how surprising I can be. Tee hee hee."
6/28 at 6:20 / 228.4 / A little bump, but I did a ton of exercise yesterday, including new resistance loop exercises. I expected to have more of a water bump than this.
6/29 at 7:30 / 228.6 / Got some TOM nonsense.
6/30 at 8:15 / 228.6 / TOM. Blech.
7/1 at 9:15 / 227.6 / Feeling much better.
7/2 at 8:10 / 227.6 / It's so HOT! I think the trees are melting. I haven't been getting my exercise in, but have been meeting my calorie goals (aside from Saturday, when I went over by 12 calories). Hope everyone is hanging in there as best you can.
7/3 at 6:10 / 228.2 / I went over a bit on calories and I think I ate my weight in salt. I'm surprised I didn't bounce higher! Headachy today in the broiling heat, but life is treating me well otherwise.
7/4 at 7:45 / 228.4 / Still over in calories. Still eating salt salt salt.
7/5 at 8:10 / 228.4 / Same song! Same dance!
7/6 at 8:10 / 229.4 / So much salt. I'm completely giving in to my cravings, which is NOT IDEAL.

Round 44 report: Logged 6/10 days, 4/5 cardio workouts, 1/5 mini-strength workouts. Maintenance at 125-130 but average was up to 128.
Round 45 GOAL = Log every day. Cut sugary treats for THIS 10-DAY ROUND. Get 4 cardio workouts. Get 4 MINI strength workouts.
6/27 - 127.0 - yesterday under maintenance calories, no treat sugar, 7K steps.
6/28 - 127.2 - yesterday under maintenance calories, 13K steps including run to gym and elliptical 35 minutes.
6/29 - 127.4 - yesterday just over maintenance calories, 7K steps. It was the third day of avoiding extra sugary treats. Found myself when very tired at night, having a hard time wanting something treat-y.
6/30 -127.0 - yesterday just under maintenance calories, 10K steps and a "mini" strength workout. 1AM, couldn't sleep and caved with some sugar hoping it would knock me out, but it did not. So that is an awesome learn.
Extended my goal to the rest of this round without sugary treat foods. Just to be clear: not doing keto, don't consider myself addicted to sugar, and I try not to have any morality surrounding my use or disuse of C6-H12-O6. We all do this different and THAT IS OKAY. We all use whatever words we need to, to get our own attention and stick with whatever plan we make. I psychologically associate sweet with comfort and soothing, so right now I am experimenting with other coping strategies as part of my ongoing commitment to mindfulness and maintenance.
Thanks for listening and carry on with YOUR plan, loves!
7/1 - 126.0 - TMI alert: if not prunes, then kale. For serious. LOL. Under maintenance yesterday, super hot day, about 8K steps and that was all.
7/2 - 125.4 - this is a new low and likely dehydration, though some of the recent shift is real. Yesterday under maintenance calories, walked a little then ran 2 miles in the "cool" of the evening.
"Under maintenance" means under my (self-determined, based on sedentary) maintenance number PLUS my fitbit allowance, which I routinely eat back most of.
7/3 - 126.8 - yep it was dehydration! I ate salt like a mad thing yesterday, and I hadn't slept well so nothing other than work happened. To bed early and got 9 hours sleep. So weird going to bed when it's light ...
7/4 - 126.2 - yesterday under maintenance calories, only 6K steps, and another good night's sleep.
7/5 - 127.4 - yesterday under maintenance until I couldn't sleep and ate some snacks. Only 8K steps but had to take the Fitbit off while restoring the finish on the antique bookcase (looks great btw) Nice to have a day off in the middle of the week!
7/6 - 127.2 - yesterday over maintenance calories, a headache day that got out of hand. Even with 10K steps, not a stellar finish to the round.
OTOH, As far as weight goes I am 100% happy, just trying to change all the things and tick all the boxes at once. My perfectionism is driving the bus, and that's a recipe for disaster.
R45 * Start = 127.0 * Ave = 126.7 * Min = 125.4 * Max = 127.4
See you next round loves!7 -

7/2 260.8 First day!
7/3 258.3 Went for a 6 mile walk yesterday in 95 degree HUMID weather. I was able to stay hydrated - this 2.5 pound weight loss in one day is lost water weight because I was retaining water, not because I didn't drink enough. I'm definitely not expecting such a big drop tomorrow.
7/4 256.3 I'm down 5 pounds! That's probably 4.5lbs of water but I'll take it! I got up at 6 am today to walk 5 miles with the dog before it got too hot. I might go on a bike ride tonight. Happy Fourth!
7/5 254.2 Wow! This is easy (for now!)
7/6 252.4 I'm not sure what to say about being down 8.6 pounds in 5 days other than the body's ability to retain water is amazing.

6/27 163.4 I set an aggressive goal weight for this round, but I believe I can reach it if I continue the course.
6/28 162.6 I cannot wait until I am freed up to get on my bike or at least go walk the dogs. It has been a long 10 days. On the bright side I feel I am getting a better grasp on my eating, and I haven't binged this week. I am biting my tongue about my husband's In and Out burgers, donuts and fat boy ice cream sandwiches, abstaining, and letting him make his own choices without piping in. This has always been challenging for me unless we are both on the downward trajectory as far as weight.
6/29 163.0 I can't begin to explain the series of events that led to banana split and potato chips after dinner. I can only say that the stress of caregiving for my mom for the past 2 weeks added to the ever present worry about my 16 year old son has caught up with me and something gave. I was either going to get drunk or eat ice cream, and there we go. I expect to see another step up on the scale tomorrow as a delayed effect of last night's binge.
6/30 161.8 My goal for this round is in reach! I am looking so forward to getting out of the 160's, and resolve never to go there again! I was looking at the before and after success thread last night and how inspiring it is to see how so many people are able to take conttol of their eating and moving and reshape their bodies. I am super stoked to have found this platform and community.
7/01 163.5 Just another reminder that our weight will reflect the result of what we eat, duh. Last night I had a heavy carb dinner, indulging in extra bread and paella, not really too ar over my calories but enough to cause this immediate feedback. It was worth it though, because it is a lifelong change I am making. Better choices day at a time for the rest of my life, leaving room to indulge and then getting back on track.
7/02 WEIGH IN DAY 162.8 Kinda bummed that I am only .2 lbs down from my last weekly weigh in, but looking back at my week I did indulge in ice cream and extra carbs, defiitely making some choices that reflect on the scale. Well, better a small loss than any gain! Goals for this week are more water, more moving and getting my parents back to their own house!
7/03 163.5 you play you pay
7/04 162.2 Is it within reach??? Goal for today is to over hydrate and stay away from sweets.
7/05 163.2 Ok well not so good with that intent. Definitely had a binge, about 800+ over my calorie goal for today. My husband and son leaving for the day, the house to myself, some trees to relax and there came the sweet tooth. I deserve a gain. Popcorn, peanut butter sandwich, yogurt covered pretzels...
7/06 162.8 I had a better day yesterday, ate a lot of lean protein which helped keep me full, though I did go over my calories by "needing" to try the new fiber one bar I bought, though it was disappointing.7 -
@deviette It is, after all, about getting where we want to be in a manner with which we can live. I find your thinking inspiring!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
6/27 134.5
6/28 135.5 Up too early - the cat thought I should be up so he could have breakfast. UGH! Damn cat, I love him.
6/29 134.5
6/30 134.5 Went to water fitness yesterday, it felt good and I had energy all day and night. It was a super busy day! DGD arrives this evening
7/1 134.5
7/2 134.5 DGD and I went to a Cirque show last night. What fun!
7/3 133.5 Drank 252% of my water requirement yesterday per Plant Nanny app. It was 109* yesterday and 1 digit humidity.
7/4 134.0 Didn’t drink enough water. But that’s what happens at the races. Took DGD to the airport. This evening a community 4th of July picnic where NOTHING will be keto friendly. Well, I guess the hamburgers are but they are always extra well done and tough not juicy, medium rare the way I like them.
7/5 134.5 Did not meet my calories or macros - under on everything. Sloppy Joes instead of burgers, baked beans, fresh fruit salad - mostly watermelon with some strawberries, blueberries, and a little pineapple, and cupcakes for dessert. I had 2 tiny chicken thighs (meat only), two pieces of a strawberry, and about 12 blueberries at the “picnic.”
7/6 133.5 The next round will bring me to the end of one year on Keto.3 -
@quiltingjaine - I am a burger-holic but how can you even get that in your mouth??
squeeze, nibble top, nibble bottom, flip and nibble nibble. the key is to commit to it and never set it down.3 -

OSW: 6/13/18, 178.8
End of Round 44, 6/26/18, 170.6 (-5)
Total weight lost: 8.2
Round 45
Day/Weight/Comment
6/27: 170.4/Very motivated after the last round. Hoping to blast into and through the 160’s as far as possible these next 10 days.
6/28: 171.0/Yesterday got away from me and I ended up doing things a lot later than planned. Ate candy and had a pop late. Have been going to bed really late and not getting enough sleep.I did get exercise in and was within my calorie budget.
6/29: 171.0/Again did not get eat when I wanted. Working on eating more frequently throughout the day.
6/30: 171.2/Frustrated and disappointed, hoping to get in the 160’s soon. Starting C25k tomorrow. Still trying to focus on eating more frequently throughout the day as opposed to later at night.
7/01: 171.2/Took a break from exercise yesterday, my body needed a break, my lower back has been bothering me. I had such a rapid weight loss initially I was hoping to have more, but I guess that was probably the water weight and now I headed for slow but steady progress hopefully.
7/02: 170.4/Clothes are fitting better and I am feeling well. My skin is looking good and my memory and emotional regulation has improved.
7/03: 169.4/Finally, back in the 160’s!!! Coming right before the 4th will keep me motivated to eat right and continue abstaining from alcohol, yay!
7/04: 169.2/Went for a run this morning, went to a party last night and controlled myself with the food and best of all, NO alcohol. It never ceases to amaze me how there is always someone who can’t just let it go when I say no thank you to alcohol and feels the need to ask questions and ‘pressure’ me to drink.
7/05: 169.6/Got a very earlier run in this morning before weigh in.
7/06: 168.8/Happy with this. Rest day today, ran and did lunges yesterday, my legs and butt are hurting. Weight lost this round 1.6, over all down 10 lbs!8
