Had a very active day yesterday and plan on the same today. I ate really well yesterday with the exception of dinner where I ate a footlong sweet onion chicken teriyaki on wheat with onion, lettuce, and spinach.
I could have done just a 6 inch but I was really hungry and it filled me up. I'm still under my calories for the day so I'm not sweating it.
This morning I had 2 poached eggs, humas and carrots. I feel nice and full.
That's the big thing for me is finding foods that fill me up. I wanted to get some steel cut oats at the store last night but forgot. Yes I'm a guy and wouldn't ever think of making a list. That would be too easy
Your post made me smile! Lists are my friend! I’d be severely lost without them.
You’re doing great this round. Keep moving forward and down down down!3 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27: 259 up a bit from early in the week but I have been slowly losing; my weight fluctuates alot so we'll see about tomorrow.
7/28 253.6 It may seem like a lot to lose in a day but I was down to 255 earlier in the week. I am staying under my calorie goal but am staying closer to it, I am doing slightly better with water intake, However with a night meeting and after work appointment I ate out a bit more than I like. So I’m hoping to cook at home all this week. Just back from my Saturday morning Aquafit class.
7/29 255.2 This is what I mean about my weight varying alot day to day. Had a good day yesterday.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Round 3 - dropped out the last round - basically gave up because my weight wasn't moving - eventually, it moved in the wrong direction!!!
I have picked myself up and dusted my blues off - ready to restart and get back to my goals
The goal for this challenge to get to 200lbs !!! And I WILL make it this time :-)
7/27 203lbs

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27--No weigh in. Well. When I said this round would be hard, this wasn't what I had in mind...I went to the dermatologist Thursday afternoon to address a weird burning sensation in my upper arm. Turns out I am likely in the beginning stages of shingles(!). I am a bit young to get shingles (36) although you can really get them at any age if you've had chicken pox. The doctor writes me a note and tells me not to go back to work, go home, get in bed, and stay there all weekend. Between the extensive rest and the prescription for Valtrex, we are hoping we can stop it in its tracks. So that's what I've done. I've been in bed since Thursday afternoon. It's boring and I keep thinking about the things I had planned to do this weekend. DH reminds me that stress is one of the things that leads to shingles and I need to stop worrying about household chores because they don't matter. He has been bringing me meals in bed and I am not tracking or logging anything.
7/28--177.0 Decided to visit the scale on my way to soaking in a nice Epsom salt bath; this cheered my mood. I would have expected worse. Shingles pain, by the way, is terrible, and I am now an advocate for everybody getting the shingles vaccine. It's recommended if you're over the age of 50. I did some research on diet changes that can help/hurt a case of the shingles. I have added more chicken, orange juice, and bananas to my diet, and am avoiding chocolate, caffeine, sugar, and processed carbs. So far I don't have any blisters, although my arm is very sensitive and painful. No exercise, just bed rest. I feel like this explains a lot about the past week--why I have been feeling tired and unmotivated. These can be the very first signs of shingles. Here I was beating myself up thinking I need to get back with the program, when really I had this virus starting to attack my body.
7/29--176.6 Wow, that was a needed boost. Today feeling better and I have every intention of going back to work tomorrow, we'll see...

7/27 157.8 I am not sure how everyone else counts their loss for a round, but I am taking today's starting weight as my ending weight for last round, which means I met my goal for the round! I have been wanting to share with all of you how much it means to me to be able to read about your progress, your stumbles, your victories and your challenges. We so often look around us and don't realize how alike we all are. I used to feel like I was the only one who struggled, everyone else had it all together. This diverse group that we are, men, women, younger and not, we are all very much alike and it really helps me to share my daily *stuff* here with you. Love you all!!
7/28 159 I know that although I have been logging I have been estimating too much. Yesterday I made the tradeoff to have a relaxed day with my son which meant eating off plan with him, necessary I think for him if that makes sense. He convinced me to buy some paint since I have a stack of canvases sitting for over a year, I love to paint but have been off that path for a while, not feeling creative. Weight gain and unconscious eating does more to me than make me fat. It takes away my creativity, me sex drive, my joy, my desire to do more, all things I am noticing now as they come back. Thanks to being inspired by @mthomas0288 and her workout challenges I signed up for a free 30 day workout and *yikes* start today. I am excited to see what the next 30 days brings, since I am realizing that weight loss alone will not give me the results I want in my body.
**I just googled *kitten* though this is probably old news for you veterans on MFP I was finally confused enough about why everyone was using it lol
7/29 158.6 Did day one of my 30 day challenge and though it was only a 15 minute workout I am sore today which feels so good!

@missm2, You will make it out of the 200's. It took me 4 rounds to get from 212 to 199 and 6 rounds to get through the 190's. It has taken a few others some time to break free from the end of the 200's also. Just continue to do everything right. Then we'll celebrate!

Gained so much weight, I'm upset but still motivated. I woke up early (6.00 am) and walked 3.1 km (4300 steps). The breakfast was good I hope the rest of the day will be good too. Cannot wait to see lower weights...
7/28 84.6 kg (186.5 lbs)
I feel really motivated and strong. I bought a smoothie blender. I'll make healthy and nutritious smoothies rather than junk food anymore. And also yesterday I didn't drink alcohol even I went to a bar. Moreover, I walked 10.2 km
I'm feeling good.
7/29 84.3 kg (185.8 lbs)
Going well... Yesterday I made two delicious smoothies, one of them is kinda desert (banana, soy milk, almonds and nuts and chia seeds, you should try!). I took a little more calories however, I walked 5 km (12000 steps), so the calorie intake was ok.
7/30 84.3 kg (185.8 lbs)

Fairly excited today, just calculated my 7 day average and I'm finally under 70kg. Mini goal 1 is complete. Last time I dieted I stopped here, and slowly put the weight back on again. This time, I'm not going to forget everything I've learnt and go back to my previous ways. I'm going to keep at it and reach my ultimate goal this time and keep it off for good

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27: 69.5 - Really?! REALLY?! I've been gunning for 69.5 for the last two rounds and you wait until the day that I've decided to up my round goal weight to something definitely achievable (with current trends) to dump this one on me. I know I shouldn't be annoyed by a lower number, but I'm pretty sure my body is just trolling me on this one. Anyway: Yesterday was a really good day, started off looking like it was only going to be an okay day, but then I wasn't very hungry at breakfast and saved half for later, meaning I wasn't as hungry for lunch and didn't eat it all, meant I gained about 150kcals more in the bank than I expected. A yummy (and surprisingly low calorie) spag bol and pasta for dinner still left me under calories, so I had some watermelon and icecream for dessert (YUM!) And was still under daily goal. 76g of protein for the day
7/28: 69.9 - TOM has reared it's ugly head proving, once again, that my body doesn't run in nice even patterns. However, does help account for my super massive cravings last round that were doing their very best to try and mess me up (and those consistent days of 70.5). Anyhoos: happy to be staying under 70kg again. Yesterday was pretty good right up until evening. I had a reasonably stressful day at work so I think I did well to not binge on all the chocolate that I really wanted to during the day (heck I even had a slice of watermelon as a snack instead). Then we went and looked at puppies, and got pie and chips on the way home. Which put me over calories. But not over maintenance. Then my partner put more chips in the oven and did far too much for him so I ate some more because food waste. Pushing me to about maintenance. Not great but not awful day... 56g of protein for the day.
7/29: 69.5 - Lots of Judo and wasn't at all hungry most of the day. Barely ate up to my normal goal, let alone any of my exercise calories. Saving them for Sunday. 73g of protein for the day7/30: 69.6 - Went out for what was supposed to be a pub lunch, and turned into a Indian lunch (pub wasn't doing food). Made sensible food choices and avoided the enormous naan bread and just went with rice, curry and onion bhaji. Stopped eating when I felt full. Ate tea at my parents, and was really not very hungry so got away with eating only a very small amount (and a reasonable amount of that was salad). However still had to guesstimate on the entries/quantities in the diary for almost all of the food today. I think I over estimated, but it's hard to guess. Calories were well over goal, but considering the exercise calories I hadn't eaten from the day before, it probably worked out about level. Also, with some calculation: my 7 day average is now officially under 70kg (69.9, still counts!) 102g of protein for the day.

Goal this round 180.0 looking for -5.8 this round.
It’s a big goal but my body is just so so so bloated that I think I’ll drop a few pounds easy as long as I push the water. If I can make this happen this round I will make more reasonable goals in the future rounds.

No real weight loss this morning. The scale was teatering back and forth so I left my weight were is was yesterday. I ate petty well yesterday and was pretty active so I'm kind of surprised I didn't lose more than I did. But that's the problem with stepping on the scale every day. It just fluctuates too much with many variables. Not letting it get me down.

1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
Round 48 - goal – last round I only wanted to lose a couple pounds. Yesterday morning I decided despite my wife’s opinion to set my goal at 180. I know this is lower than my prime weight in high school, but I do not workout anymore and feel like its time to get rid of the love handles. This might take more then one 10 day round.
7/26 weight 190
7/27 – 191lbs – hydration is at the highest I have ever. 56% - that may explain the one-pound gain on a day that I had very low calories. If I dieted without my daily adult beverages I would wither away to nothing. Cheers and happy weekend!!!
7/28 – up early and off to lake Michigan for fishing and drinking.
7/29 – feeling yesterday. So tired. Going to bed early.
7/30 – forgot to weight naked. Weight with clothes on is looking very bad. 7 pounds swing in the wrong direction
I will find out in a couple days how much damage I did over the weekend9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27 - 158.5 - I was going to gripe about being this weight for almost 8 days straight, especially since I've stayed real close to my weight loss calories. Then I realized because of our out of town visitors, I've had food that is higher in sodium, I haven't been walking as much, and water has not been my drink of choice. We've got one last barbecue planned for this weekend and then they'll leave on Sunday. I need to enjoy this weekend and not worry about what the scale says. Last week, before they came, I was hoping to maintain and I need to be happy that I did.
7/28 - 159.5
7/29 - 161 - Well, 158.5 looks pretty good right now! I had a little of everything at our picnic yesterday and several drinks, so this is no surprise. I have figured out that exactly 11 years ago I had dieted to 157 lbs. I hit a plateau and stopped counting calories and tracking my weight. This time will be different. I don't regret the overindulgence yesterday, since this time I'm not going to let it derail me. (And we had so much fun!)
7/30 - 160 - Slowly getting rid of the weekend indulgences.

7/27: 324.2 Off to a good start. Need to get back to drinking more water. I haven’t been doing that the last two days. The one thing I have found out that is working is I don’t snack after dinner anymore. I used to always get a late night snack before bed, but now I have nothing or if I do it’s a hot cup of tea. No food though. I think that helped with the high loss last round. Need to keep that trend going.
7/28: 322.2 Well, this is a total shock. I didn't track my food at all yesterday. May have injured my left Achilles the other day at the gym, so I was unable to workout yesterday. Hurt to walk. Hoping it's not serious. Anyway, not being able to workout put me in a funk all day. Grabbed Wendy's for lunch--though I did get grilled chicken sandwich. Had a healthier dinner and stuck to not having any snacks before bed so that may have helped. Going to rest this weekend then start back at the gym Monday if feeling better.
7/29: 321.2 I had a good Saturday. I met friends for breakfast out, but made smart choices. I avoided the hash browns and ate tomatoes instead. (Wasn’t as hard to give it up as I thought considering I LOVE starchy foods). Lunch went well with fruits, cream cheese & bagel chips, and avocado. Even though my foot was still hurting, I was able to get my walk in. Skipped the gym and went shopping instead. Have to love retail therapy! Finished the evening off with a greek salad and cup of soup while having an outdoor movie night. Then a hot cup of tea when I got home. Still need to work on getting my water in. Haven’t been meeting my goal on that lately. Going to try harder next week on that. The no snacking after dinner is doing wonders though. The late night cup of tea instead of binging on carbs/junk food has made all the difference in the world. All in all, not a bad weekend so far.
7/30: 321.5 Not a great day. Still unable to exercise because of my injury. Getting very frustrated. Had a big dinner. Ate more at that sitting than I have since the beginning of round 47. Need to get my head back in the game and maybe schedule a doctors appointment to take care of this Achilles pain.

7/30: 218.6 Happy it's not a gain, I'm so tired. Wondering if my weigh ins are better when I've slept longer. On the 27th woke up at 6:10, 28th 7:30 29th 8:30, today the 30th 6:10.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27 - 221.2 - Went out with an old friend and only had one beer. Passed on the charcuterie plate that I wanted bad, but those are the make or break moments.
7/28- 220.2 - Had 600 calories of pizza last night with 2 glasses of red wine, just ate lightly rest of the day and stayed within 1550 calories. Some foods are out of the question though since the calorie/enjoyment trade off is low. See ya' soda and muffins.
7/29 - 220.6 - Ate out last night, very hard to count calories at restaurants. I went overboard on some kind of oily garlic bread. Then got more of the same bread with entree, didn't know it was coming. Still not a bad day.
7/30 -219.6.6 - Out of the 220's two days short of goal. Next plan is to be out of 210s by Sept 1st for a vacation. Doable, but almost no room for error.

I'm late but I'm in! I did a round at the beginning of July but have been on holiday since. Holidays ended yesterday and I have to get back on track starting today. I swam pretty much every day while away but ate and drank way to much, so I managed to gain a few pounds

7/30 - 257....no exercise and not great eating yesterday...still off schedule with the 4 1/2 hrs time difference. I did drink quite a bit of water though, which is why I think I have a little loss today.

My official weekly weigh in, is Tuesday evening @ TOPS, so my ticker tape will reflect that loss.
My daily weight is on my home scale, so I can monitor how my week is going.
My ultimate goal is 175lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27 - 188.2 - I got kicked out of ketosis and ate like it for a few days. I'm less concerned with the weight gain, knowing that it is mostly water, but I am bothered by how physically awful I feel. One positive outcome of the last few days, it reaffirmed that I feel better physically eating low carb. I am back on track today and excited to get back to it.
7/28 - 187.3 - I ate low carb but didn't track. I was short on my water yesterday. Today's goals will be to eat LCHF and hit my water goal.
7/29 - 187.0 - I did better with my water intake yesterday and stayed on track with LCHF. Today I am going to go try to add back in some exercise.
7/30 - 185.7 - I'm beginning to feel better physically. I didn't get in any exercise yesterday, but I'm going to go for a run today.

Seeking lower bodyfat%
July is the month that I will assess what foods I can eat, once in a whi!e, outside of keto. I do not expect any loss of weight. If I eat something that makes me gain or not feel well, then "OFF WITH ITS HEAD! Lol, no, but definitely off of my foods list.

Early weigh in. This end of round drop and beginning round overnight gain of ONE pound seems to be my trend. I'm officially in the overweight BMI category. Kind of a weird eating day for me yesterday. Went to help my niece again, but was rushed, so I threw some random food items into my lunchbag. None of my plans for the day were achieved. 35g carbs, 26g net carbs. Lettuce, grape tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, strawberries, cottage cheese, peanut butter
•7/28 - 187.8 - Okay, I know, I'm supposed to be dialing down the carbs, but I have 4 more days left and fried chicken and fresh peach sounded delicious. 63g carbs, 55g Net carbs. Seasoned coating for chicken, green beans, broccoli slaw, poppyseed dressing, 1/2 medium fresh peach, peanut butter, of course
•7/29 - 188.2 - Early weigh in. 57g carbs, 51g net carbs. Salad greens, 1/2 medium fresh peach, strawberries, cottage cheese, seasoned coating for chicken, peanut butter
•7/30 - 188.2 - 50g carbs, 37g net carbs. Green beans, peanuts, peanut butter, seasoned coating for chicken.
