8/06- Holiday weekend, just needed some rest, 2more treatments of radiation. Even my steps are down, going to pick up tomorrow.
8/07- picked up on my steps today, tried stretching. Eating healthy.
8/08- I thought this date would never come, today I finished my last day of Radiation. Thirty treatments completed. I was so lucky not one side effect. Now to focus on healthy eating and lots of exercise.
8/09- Today I made cauliflower soup for lunch, My neighbour has been great and gave me all different colours of tomatoes, and cucumbers.
8/10-Tonight I can start to cut my steroids in half, for a week. Hopefully this helps with sleeping and eating. Enjoyed the great weather this afternoon, and then my husband and I went to find a patio for dinner. Goal is to start working harder to achieve my weight loss.

In for my 6th Round!
Round 44 End Weight = 165.8 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 45 End Weight = 164.9 (0.9 lbs lost)
Round 46 End Weight = 159.6 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 47 End Weight = 157.2 (2.4 lbs lost)
Round 48 End Weight = 155.2 (2.0 lbs lost)
Stats = 5'4 female, age 48
Highest Weight = 172 lbs
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)
Round 49 Goal: to be in the 153's
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in week 3-4 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/weekday
Nutrition Plan = Continue to limit gluten, dairy, sugar, diet soda, alcohol & eat non-processed foods, protein/fruit/veg at every meal, complex carbs at breakfast and post workout meal, drink plenty of water.
8/06 - Weight = 155.2 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday was one of those days where you are super busy, but just don't feel like you get anything done. Somehow it was 6:00 p.m. and I hadn't even worked out, so I got my day 17 of 90 exercises in which was a really fun one: Down Dog Flow, Alternating Squat Lunges, Fighter Combo: Jab/ Cross/Jab/Knee, Reverse Table Top Triceps Dips, Prisoner Squats, Total Core Domination: V-Sit Ups Rolled to Supermans and Roll Back/Repeat), & Surfer Pop Ups. At the end I was super sweaty and so thought might as well go for a run, I can't get any hotter. It was still hovering around 90 but I was able to get a quick run in. Dinner last night was gluten-heavy, which I limit and only have maybe once a week. It was delicious but I felt like a brick was sitting in my stomach after, even though I was well within my calories. It just isn't worth it. I also had a realization yesterday, I've lost 16 pounds so far and have 16 more to go to be at my initial goal weight - Hooray! for the half-way point. Let's start this round off strong everyone
8/07 - Weight = 155.2 (no change, 3rd day in a row at this weight) So, my scale give me all sorts of info including water weight percentage and this morning it was up over a point from where it normally is. I am also still very sore from from Sunday's workout, so I think this static weight number is definitely my little muscle tears holding in a little excess water. I'm going to continue to drink a lot of water and foam roll my legs today and see what tomorrow brings. Yesterday my day 18 of 90 exercises was yoga and it was a flow that I did on day 11 of the original 30 day challenge. Interesting to see some strength gains from the 1st time I did it. There was 1 move where you go from down dog, lifting 1 leg up and to the side and then twist your body to that direction and raise 1 arm up - I can do that now and I remember before I had to modify it. Yay, for seeing improvements!!
8/08 - Weight = 154.8 (down .4 from yesterday) I can feel my stress management declining a bit, feeling a little snippy with my family the past 2 days. I'm still not sleeping well and then the stress creeps in and healthy food choices start to slide, and then you don't want to exercise. It's a slippery slope, friends! But I'm not falling for it Today is a rest day in my exercise challenge, I'm going to do a little self care and work on getting my stress in check and hope for some better sleeping tonight. My nutrition and exercise are still on point. I completed day 19 of 90 exercises yesterday which focused on the posterior chain, still super weak in that area, + legs/booty , where I am definitely seeing much improvement. I am heading out of town on Friday & will take my scale with me and continue to check in. We are going to NY to see family, I'll stay just for the weekend and then come back home but my daughter will be spending the week there with her cousins. This will be the longest time we have ever spent apart but I think it will be good for both of us. I'll miss her tons, and probably worry a lot, but looking forward to a week of all "me" time.
8/09 - Weight = 153.9 (down 0.9 from yesterday) Wasn't expecting this number on the scale today, but happy to see it! I enjoyed my rest day yesterday and went to a spa for massage and pedicure. Lovely day! Busy, busy day today, I've got a ton to do at work, at home, & running errands to get ready to leave town tomorrow. Plus, have my day 21 exercises to complete and this a hard workout, will be sweating buckets with this one. In my 90 day challenge, there is a 5-day mini challenge within the challenge that was supposed to start yesterday but I have pushed that off until Monday when I get back home and can focus better on it. The mini challenge is a nutrition one, so I kind of need to be in my own kitchen for it. Hope everyone has a great day today..."Today is your day. Start fresh. Eat right. Train hard. Live healthy. Be proud."
8/10 Weight = 153.7 (down .2 from yesterday) Left for vacation this morning but before that I got in day 22 of 90 exercises. I've been dreading this one because it has a wall handstand in it, was so nervous about this but guess what - I did it! I've got my scale with me and have a feeling it might go up tomorrow as I'm feeling a little bloated after dinner this evening. We went out to a gourmet pizza place & I had a gluten-free white pizza with Brussels sprouts, bacon, & honey drizzle. I have no idea the calories but I logged it the best I could. It was a 12" pizza with about 8 slices, I ate 3 slices when I really felt full after 2, oh well. I Had 1 glass of wine and opted out when everyone went to get gelato after dinner. Not even tempted by sweets, I'm a salty foods gal. It is supposed to rain tomorrow, so I likely won't be able to get a run in but will try to fit in some yoga. Have a great weekend!

SW: 85 kg (187.3 lbs) EW: 83.6 kg (184.3 lbs)
8/06 84.2 kg (185.6 lbs)
Yesterday I kinda overate, however, I started to go to a gym. It's a really big step for me. I hope I'll lose easier.
8/07 84.2 kg (185.6 lbs)
Again binge eating... But I went to the gym, kinda ok.
8/08 83.7 kg (184.5 lbs)
Yay! I'm really happy. Yesterday wasn't very good because I ate less food but a chocolate cake... However, I walked 10k steps and also workout at the gym for an hour! I'm really motivated for the gym. Today will be my 4th day at the gym and I'm going there right now 4th time... But still I want chocolate because I'm really stressful these days and very pessimistic about everything.

I couldn't write these days, even I weigh myself. I was really stressed having bad days because of some personal problems. Yesterday I drank kinda a lot, 2 weeks ago I decided not to drink just social drinking if I feel like. Bet yesterday, I drank alone because I couldn't stand some emotions and ideas. And also I ate junk food and I binged. That's why I didn't want to weight myself today. I don't want to demotivate myself with some numbers. I'm going on.

Hi everyone - newish to this challenge (not to MFP!) and a bit late to this round... Goal for this round is to FINALLY get under 80 kg bc it is just way too high of a number for me and I am fed up with it. And I love the accountability this challenge gives me!
Day/Weight/Comment
8/06 80.8 kg (178.1 lbs)- down from the weekend, happy with this as it means I managed to stay within calories but still managed to enjoy myself.
8/07 80.6 kg (177.7 lbs) - another drop... Have to keep on keeping on! Planning to workout this afternoon but it is going to be SUPER hot so I don't know how motivated I will be. Have to remember to hydrate in any case!
8/08 80.5 kg (177.5ish lbs) - slow and steady! Gym was good yesterday, upper body workout, not too much cardio involved which was fine because it was SO humid and warm. Finally rained last night, I feel like I can breathe again.
8/09 80.5 kg -same as yesterday. Felt really bad yesterday morning, don't know why, probably heat and lack of sleep. Did stay within calories. Feeling a bit better today, so that's good.
8/10 81.1 kg - ugh. just, ugh. I guess this is to be expected bc I worked out hard yesterday and though I stayed within calories, working out gave me a lot more calories to play with so I ate a relatively large amount of food. But still, meh. Hope the combination of bloating and food baby goes away soon, but with the weekend coming up I am not so sure...
8/11 81.1 kg - felt lousy all day and didn't make the best choices - not the worst either, but def not the best - so I am just glad it's not worse.

Yeah! A mini Whoosh! I felt quite bloated and lethargic yesterday, so am assuming that I was retaining water from the weekend. Wondering if this is because I have wine/sherry with weekend dinners.

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!

8/11 - 182.3 - I'm really happy with this number! It's the lowest I've been since March. I haven't been tracking but I have been eating LCHF. I also went for a walk yesterday. It was a slow walk due to the heat, but I'm happy I got out there. I'm going to try to get out there again today before the rain starts.

"My goal for this period is to go back to my pre vacation weight that was 60-61 kg"
8/08- 63.2 kg, that makes it + 2 kg compared with one month ago and +5 kg compared with my target weight
8/09 - 63 kg. Pretty good day, kept it low carb on the diet and stop eating around 18:30. Done 1h of yoga that is kind of extreme sport for me. Same targets for today just changing yoga for a circuit class.
8/10 - 62.6 . Small progress but very happy the scale is going into the right direction. Have been good with food yesterday, kept it low carb as well, had my 2 liters of water and circuit class. Stop eating by 18:30 as well and despite my very calm evening with a book I resisted to the small voice in my head telling me that reading with a glass of red wine would be even more enjoyable. And this made me to sleep very well
8/11 - 61.9 uhuuuuu. Obviously low carb, plenty of water and stop eating at 18:00 is working well for me. Just need the strength to keep the direction, I know very well the recipe of losing weight. No sport yesterday , just a short walk but this was my rest day, so no surprise here.

8/9 - (No scale today) For the first time in like 4 years I have been out of town for a couple of days. I was doing good the first 2 days weighing and logging everything.. But the 2 last days I didn't log much and I had a burger with fries at a restaurant. I was feeling like a total party pooper when I didn't go out to eat with my boyfriend and just sat there in the hotel room with my food scale lol. I could have chosen a salad, but I wanted the burger.. So I had the burger, and we'll see how big the consequences are tomorrow and deal with them I ate my regular stuff besides the burger, so I feel like I've come a long way. At the same time last year I would have probably just said f* it and ordered a burger for lunch aswell... and a lot of other stuff 
I usually WANT the healthy alternatives now because they are more tempting, but I still have a way to go when it comes to dinner. I'm fine with whatever for breakfast, lunch, snacks and supper.. But when it comes to dinner, I think a burger with fries looks better than avacados and spinach. There's something special about dinner.. Haha 
8/10 - 182.1 lbs Oh well, could have been worse. This will probably come off quickly, since I gained it fast I do not handle carbs that well, weight is fluctuated for several days afterwards if I eat a lot of carbs one day.. Even if I stick to my calorie goal. Gonna try to eat as "clean" as possible today. A lot of veggies and not so much carbs.
8/11- 181.2 lbs Gonna continue with the low carb and avoid processed foods 😊 Have a great Saturday everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
•8/6 - 186.2 - Early weigh in. - This morning, I reviewed my weigh ins from the last round. My weight was all over the place. 188.2, 187.8, 187, 186.8, 186.4, 185.6, 185.2. That is not usual for me. I'm expecting that my weigh ins this round will compensate for the weights I bypassed. Those lovely increments. Today's weight for example.
We shall see. 9 more to go. 186 was my weight in early 2015. I was doing very well on the way to my goal of 150lbs, when I decided to try eating grains again. Bad, bad idea.
•8/7 - 186.6 - Early weigh in. Maybe I am through with the 186's now? 186.8, 186.4, 186.2 This weight completes the increments set.
•8/8 - 185.6 - Okay. Let's count'em down. I was here and .2 last round so, maybe I skip .8 altogether? If so, one to go and one to revisit.
• 8/9 - 185 -
•8/10 - 185.4- Lol, there it is. If no point 8 this week, then this set is complete. A VERY carby day yesterday, courtesy of some pre-made store bought meatballs. 52g carbs, 41g net carbs

I'm back...I was away for the last couple of rounds. My kitchen has been under renovation since the first week of July and I have been without a kitchen and in an upheaval since then. I have basically been eating at maintenance as I lived through the renovation. Considering all the stress and the difficulty in making meals, I am happy to say that I am basically at the same weight now as when I started the renovation. Even though the kitchen won't be completed until tomorrow, YAAAAA!!!, and we still have to get the kitchen organized, I am ready to get back at losing. (I thought I had posted yesterday, but I can't find my post.)
Goals:
1. Beat sister-in-law in weekly step competition
2. Do some form of intentional exercise 7 of 10 days (6/7)
3. Get water in
Day/Weight/Comment
08/06--222.8 Went to the in-laws this weekend, so there is definitely an uptick due to increased sodium from eating out. The positive is that my sister-in-law and I, we both have Garmin watches, are now in a weekly step competition with each other, so that will definitely be a motivation to get more steps in this week. I'm going out for a walk at lunch and then Zumba tonight. Making sure to get my water in today.
08/07--221.3 Got to use the fridge in the kitchen yesterday! Who knew these small things in life could be so exciting. Today is the last day of kitchen renovations and tonight I will be able to use the stove for the first time in 33 days. Went to Zumba last night and so far I am ahead of my sister-in-law in the steps competition. I will go out for a walk at lunch again today, but as tonight I will mainly be spending my time going food shopping and organizing the kitchen I'm not sure how many steps I will be getting in today.
08/08--220.6 Sister-in-law is currently about 100 steps ahead of me, so the competition is tight. Was hoping to organize the kitchen last night, but quickly realized what a daunting task that was and quickly lost motivation. I did organize the utensils, so I'll take that as an accomplishment and will do some more work this evening. Tonight is yoga and with the mini heat wave we are having in the PNW, not sure how much extra walking I will be able to get in tonight; however, I will go out for a walk at lunch when the weather isn't so bad.
08/09--220.0 Yoga was great last night. Sister-in-law is currently 5k steps ahead of me, ARGHHH!!! Today is the last day of the heat wave, so I plan to walk at lunch again and depending on how bad the weather is tonight I plan on going for a long walk tonight. Still working on organizing the kitchen, but considering how hot it will be inside the house this evening not sure how much organizing I will be doing.
08/10--220.4 Did not get a chance to walk during lunch, work got busy. Also, didn't walk in the evening as the heat was still bad. Sister-in-law is now 9K steps ahead of me with 3 days to go, she lives about 2 hours away and it is always a few degrees cooler where she lives. Luckily the heat wave has broken and I will be a walking machine over the next 3 days. I will walk at lunch and then take the dog out for a long walk this evening. Last night I unpacked 4 boxes of kitchen stuff, 1 more box to go, and placed most of the stuff on the kitchen counter while I tried to figure out where to put everything and what to throw out. I packed away about 1/2 of the stuff before I lost motivation, so my counters are still covered with kitchen stuff. I will finish the rest tonight and over the weekend. Last night I was so excited to find my kettle while I was packing things away. So, last night I had my first cup of tea in over 6 weeks. Then my husband unexpectedly decided to make us some lemon blueberry scones, he has been wanting to try out the new stove. Tea and homemade scones made a great evening.
08/11--219.3 Kitchen counters are still a mess, but living with the kitchen for the last couple of days has given me a better idea about where to place stuff. We are getting a very large wood cutting board delivered today, so I need to get the counters cleared off so we have somewhere to put it. I didn't get to go on a walk at lunch yesterday, work got busy again, but I went out on a long walk with the dog later in the evening. Even though it wasn't as hot yesterday as it had been over the last couple of days, it was still a little hot for my very furry dog, so I had to cut my walk a little short because I could tell she was struggling a bit. I am now only 6K steps behind my sister-in-law. Planning on a bike ride and long walk today. My sister-in-law texted me yesterday and thanked me for the step competition because it has gotten her to be more active...that made me extremely happy.

I’m in again for another round!
Round 48 - Lost 7 pounds (178.8)
Round 49 - Goal - 2.8 (176.0) or more would be great
Weight on 8/5 -178.8
8/6 - 179.0 almost forgot to post today!
8/7 - 179.0 so hard to get motivated today. Should have been at the gym this morning by 5 or at least out for a run by 6. Neither will happen as I’m just too tired. Need to just shut up and suck it up! I will take a gym bag to work and go for a run after work. It’s called my punishment, running in the heat for not doing what I’m supposed to do when I’m supposed to do it!!!
8/8 - 179.0 - Lordy I’m exhausted. Ran, lifted and Walmart all before 6 a.m., on my feet at work for 10 hours, home for chores, cook dinner and finally a moment to post. I thought at 54 and an empty nester life wasn’t supposed to be so crazy!!!
8/9 - 180.0
8/10 - 180.2 - Honestly I wasn’t even going to post. Actually just thought of throwing in the towel. I hate hate hate gaining and feeling disappointed. But I guess that is the point of this challenge....accountability with the good the bad and the ugly! I know it wasn’t even a gain of much but that’s the way this ole gals mind works. Alas, y’all won’t get rid of me. Determined to hang around and see this through!!!! Thanks y’all.
179.6 - Hanging in there.

@jerier and @MadisonMolly2017 - thank you so very much for your encouragement and advice. Greatly needed and accepted with gratitude. I find it difficult to keep bad food out of the house with a junk food junkie husband and 20-year old young men in the house. However, that is no excuse. My husband is willing to put his cookies and chips in the basement where I can't see them and my boys would easily switch to the cut-up veggies and healthier options if I took the time to do them. It is my mindset. It needs to change. Your words and caring make me examine my motives.6

@Tigale: Thank you for taking the time to send me encouragement. You're right, we can absolutely do this!!! Eating junk creates cravings for more junk, so it's hard to break the cycle. But hard is not impossible, so let's join forces and with the strength of all the lovely people on this board, let's end this round with a WHOOSH!!!!7
