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!

8/11 = 154.1 (up .4 from yesterday) I didn't remember to weigh-in until after I had a cup of tea and some water, so this probably not a real uptick. I did a very sweaty legs/core sculpting yoga workout for day 23 and then we went out to a French bistro for dinner. They did have a gluten-free crêpes option but I decided to do a quiche instead and just didn't eat the pastry shell + some charcuterie and fromage. I resisted the dessert crêpes as well but enjoyed 2 very nice glass of a Côtes de Provence Rosé. We ended the evening watching The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society movie on Netflix. I loved the book when it came out years ago and this was a very good adaptation, beautiful cinematography and lovely actors (lots of Downton Abbey cast).


8/12 = 152.8 (down 1.3 from yesterday) So, I was right and the slight bobble on the scale yesterday wasn't real. I feel a little yucky this morning, the dairy last night is the likely culprit. I haven't had much dairy in the last 2 months and had a lot at dinner last night. But need to get at it anyway as I've got my day 24 workout to do today which is: Body Squats + 2 Reverse Lunges, 2-Count Push-Ups, Front to Back Lunges, Down Dog with 3 Knees, Alternating Double Front Kicks, V-Sit with Leg Extension, & Elbow Plank with Alternating Leg Lift. I'll feel the burn on this one for sure! So all good on the vacation front with the exception that my laptop died last night & the 1-year warranty just expired this past week, of course

8/13 = 151.8 (down 1.0 from yesterday) I don't trust this is a real number. But if I did, I would be very excited because the last time I weighed this low was in 2016. If the scale bumps up tomorrow, fine, I know I'll firmly be under 152 soon enough. I had great workout yesterday, did my challenge workout and then went for a very hilly but beautiful run around the lake where we were in New York. I returned home this morning, while my daughter stayed on for a week of fun with her cousins. So I now have this week all to myself practically as my husband's work life is fairly hectic at the moment and he is just not home much currently. I'm super happy I successfully navigated a long weekend away and not only didn't get derailed but still lost weight without feeling deprived.

8/14 = 151.5 (down .3 from yesterday) Still not convinced these are real numbers. Confession: I ate EXTREMELY low calories yesterday. There wasn't really anything in the house to eat (or I wanted to eat) when I got home from my trip yesterday so I just had a couple of small things and never had a proper meal. I kept thinking I would go to the store and then make a nice dinner for myself but got involved in a project and then lost the urge to go out and get groceries. Must be better today as I have a hard workout I need to be fueled for. Yesterday was an active recovery day on my 90 day challenge so I went for a short run and then did then scheduled stretching sequence. One more weigh-in left on the challenge, make today count everyone..."Success is dependent on effort".

8/15 = 151.2 (down .3 from yesterday) Lost a total of 4 lbs this round! Yay!! Very happy with this round. On to round 50, hope to drop into the 140's next.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/06 - 112.2
I loved seeing that number this morning   I am pretty sure it will go up and down a little bit, over the course of this round. As long as it stabilizes within the next few days, I will be happy. I am moving towards working out every other day, as I do push myself really hard when I do workout. I am also thinking of starting to focus on toning up and strength training as well. Need to do some research to figure out which workout would be best for me. Need to do better with getting enough sound sleep and drinking enough water.

8/09 - 111.7
8/10 - 111.4
8/11 - 111.4
Not being able to do cardio or any kind of workout involving legs Knees are ok but I feel I run the chance of messing up my left knee, if I even try to do anything remotely heavy on my legs. Only upper body, for now. Not liking it one bit.
8/12 - 110.9
YAY! 😃😃 reached the 110 Mark! Barely, but still! Now, have to work harder towards losing a bit more and maintaining it in the long run. Along with keeping up with workout routines.
8/13 - 110.5
Still can’t workout. Have to make sure to properly watch what I’m eating, along with food sleep and water intake.
8/14 - 110.7
Woke up super tired this morning. Weight reflects what happens after not being able to workout for 3-4 days straight and couple of nights of bad sleep. Need to get enough restful sleep and definitely working out today. Even if it is just upper body.
8/15 - 110.8
Yay for being at a good number to end the round! Goal was to lose a pound this round, and ended up with a loss of 2 lbs. Upper body work out yesterday and went to my favorite Mexican place. Haven’t eaten out in a while ... so enjoyed it. Ate within my calorie goal and lots of water.

See you all and Good luck to everyone for Round 50!

Round 47 - SW 158 EW 152.5 (-5.5 lbs)
Round 48 - SW 152.5 EW 150 (-2.5 lbs)
Round 49 - SW 150 EW 147 (-3 lbs)

5 '-1"

Round 49 goals: I'm going to stick with 10,000 steps per day and also focus on a small goal related to water consumption. Add 1 glass before I leave the house in the morning and 1 glass before I go to bed.

8/06 - 151. I was inactive and unfocused in my eating yesterday. There was lots of snacking. The first snack was delicious and satisfying. After that, it was just silly. On the bright side, I slept well last night and feel refreshed and on a good path today.
8/07 - 150. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and weights. Ate at the low end of my calorie range yesterday and couldn't seem to get enough to eat this morning. Something to think about in the future.
8/08 - 151. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and kettlebell squats and swings. I watched a bunch of videos to remind me of proper form for the swing. I'm not sure I got it just right, but swinging that weight around was pretty fun. My unstated goal of seeing the last of the 150s this round is looking more challenging than I would have thought, but nothing to do but keep at it!
8/09 - 151. 11,000 steps. Elliptical and weight lifting. Ate three real meals yesterday instead of snacking my way through at least one of them and met my protein goal for the first time in a while. I felt good about that and was expecting to see the scale move down a little this morning. Maybe tomorrow?
8/10 - 150. 21,000 steps. Looking forward to a 20+ mile bike ride to a winery for a concert tonight. Hoping, hoping, hoping to see something lower than 150 on the scale this weekend.
8/11 - 150. Again. Got in that bike ride yesterday. I had carrots and hummus as a snack at the concert and was very surprised to find myself enjoying eating the carrots more than the pita chips. That’s definitely never happened before.
8/12 - 149. Yay!!! I'm finally lighter than I was at the end of the last round. I was very happy to see that this morning!
8/13 - 148. More yay! I didn't expect to see the scale move again this morning. I exercised less this weekend than earlier in the challenge, ate about the same, and saw better scale results.
8/14 - 147. I'm really pleased, and surprised. I can't actually be losing a pound a day, so I'm expecting some slow going after this. MFP counted a 30 day streak for me this morning.
8/15 - 147. Yesterday was the first day of the challenge that I didn't meet my step goal. I normally exercise late at night after the rest of my family is in bed. Last night I fell asleep with my son, which was bad for my activity level but cuddling with that sweet boy sure feels good for my heart.

Round reflections: I spent the beginning of the round surprised by how high the scale was and the end surprised by how quickly it started to go down. I'm very happy with the overall result. I had hoped to be two pounds down this round and ended up losing 3. I like the constant feedback of daily weighing, and need to remember that my actions aren't always reflected on the scale the following day. Thanks everyone for being part of the challenge, being part of the group has been very helpful for me!

8/6 164 Trend wt: 164.2 Loss/wk: 0.7
NSV’s: no muscle soreness now at new level of steps!!! The skinny jeans (size 14) I bought a while back are now loose. Will use the washer/dryer on hotter settings this week! All measurements down another 1/2 inch. Bust, underbust, waist, bellybutton, lower abs, hips, right thigh ...
LOL Help! Help! I’m s-h-r-I-n-k-I-n-g!!!!! LOL
Genuinely curious what my final weight will be.

8/7 163.4 Lowest Weight so far in my journey!!! Trend wt: 163.8 Loss/wk: 0.7 BMI: 24.5
A big surprise for sure. Always seems as though when I’m not expecting it, my wt drops & when I desperately want it to, it maintains or bounces up. (Much cooler today which might account for drop.) We’ll see!
Beginning to actually feel thinner...

8/8 163.6 Trend Weight: 163.7!! Loss/wk: 0.6
BMI: 24.5!! Waist more defined- a miracle!!
Starting to think about new style for hair, eyeglasses, makeup, and what wardrobe I should create when I reach goal...before, this stresses me out- now, I’m looking forward to it!

8/9 164 Trend wt: 163.7 Loss/wk: 0.6 BMI: 24.6
Weight lifting and HIIT on Exercise Bike (both new to me seem to have bumped up my water retention. But I feel strong & lean!!
Decided to do HIIT on Ex Bike more often even though my step average drops- I could get heart rate higher & felt the muscles working!! It’s time!

8/10 163.6 Trend wt: 163.6 Loss/wk: 0.6 BMI: 24.5 My mind keeps telling me to eat only if I get hungry, but I know those signals don’t work well in my brain/body, so I’m continuing with my timing & sizes of meals. (I did try waiting yesterday & never got hungry but I got a light headache which I never get and felt tired, so I decided to eat.) My monkey brain is trying to fool me into eating whatever/whenever tempting me with “just eat when you’re hungry.” Not. This. Time. You. Trickster!

8/11 162.6 Trend Weight: 163.2 Loss/wk: 0.7
BMI= 24.4
Lowest Weight & BMI & Trend Wt in decades.

I’m sure it will bounce around, but I’m pleased as I’ve been cutting back calories & upping difficulty of exercise...such a mental game...all the wt seems to be moving towards my middle above belly button. I. Will. Not. Give. Up. This. Time.
Must return my focus to Health, not be fooled by Vanity.

8/12 162.6 Trend Weight: 162.9 Loss/wk: 0.7
BMI:24.4

8/13 162 Trend Wt: 162.5 Loss/wk: 0.8
BMI: 24.3 ***unexpected & it has been surprisingly moving to be at this weight.

Yesterday (throughout the day) and at bedtime the two nights before, I was hungry, which I normally am not. It stressed me out. I kept trying things: walnuts, water, veggies, dinner at lunch time, etc. More lean meat and walking seemed to finally to quiet the hunger again. Ended up with my largest daily calorie deficit in a long time, which is hilarious. Learning to listen to my body even more carefully.

Losing & maintaining weight is a continual problem-solving exercise!!!

My new mantra: “Each pound lost at this point makes 20 times the difference it did before!”

I also realized today that I have a pattern I hadn’t recognized before: I don’t lose as much & if not dieting, would usually gain from May thru July or August. A combination of sad anniversaries of loved ones and hot weather. Good to know going forwards...

8/14161.8 Trend: 162.2 Loss/wk: 0.9
BMI: 24.2!!!! Down 10 since the beginning of this weight loss journey!!, Jyst easily our on my tightest “Thin” clothing from a decade ago!!

Good morning my friends

I'm 48 yo man

Friday 3th August : 188 lbs

Round 49 (#1) - 186 lbs

8/06 - 186 lbs I started my IF
8/07 -
8/08 - 184.74 (-1.26)
8/09 - 184.52 (-0.22)
8/10 - 184 (-0.52)
8/11- 183.4 (-0.60)
8/12-183 (-0,40)
8/13- 183.86 (+0,86) : although i ate well and did 45 min body full workout
8/14- 182.76 (-1,10) : Yesterday i did full bodyworkout. They Say u Can burn 1000 cal with it, it was intense.
8/15- 184.53 (+1.77): Nothing wrong with my food but when i weighted today i found 182.32 i was happy lol then moved my balance a bit my weight was 184.53 then many others values. So i figured out that my bathroom's floor is not well leveled as it gaves different values, my wife suggested to move the balance to the livingroom and we found that its indeed more accurate.
So lets Say i ended this round at 184.53, that makes a total of. 1.47 lbs Lost

Round 49 EW: 184.53 (-1.47 lbs)

See u

About me: 61, 5'7", in maintenance since March this year. Serial loser and regainer of 20 and determined not to slide back up this time.

Round 49 GOAL = Maintain weight, get work stabilized, work out a few times.

8/6 - 126.4 - Yesterday Sunday worked 8 hours, no logging or workout. Last week was 60 hours. Let's see what this week brings. Even if I don't post every day I will update and check in.
8/7 - 126.2 - Definitely stabilizing at work, but the sun rose red through smoke this morning. Work a little more normal for me as the fire chews through two counties to the east... logging food today.
8/8 - 127.8 - I logged half the day then lost it in a salty snack food. Hence the extra weight today I am sure. I see my pattern: becoming lax and having a hard time rebuilding my routines when I come back from a stress situation, especially when still in a deficit with sleep, recreation time, and energy.
8/9 - 8/11 - I weighed but didn't record. Somewhere in 128's. Still smoked out, tired, and too busy.
8/12 - 129.2 - finally made up some sleep and got a weekend without work but no logging and no workouts
8/13 - 128.0 - yesterday at maintenance calories, got a few steps in doing work around the house and garden. Finally feeling some better, but it's still too smoky for outdoor exercise.

8/14 - 125.6 - well that's reassuring after recent numbers! Yesterday logged, got 40 minutes on a crosstrainer, and calories well under maintenance.

8/15 - 127.0 - bouncy! Yesterday managed to log half the day, over maint calories tho so still struggling to do what works. ON TO THE NEXT ROUND!!

Round 49 report: Start = 126.4 * Ave = 127.4 * Min = 125.6 * Max = 129.2!!

An all over round, still surfing residual stress from the local emergencies that spilled into my work and health life.

ssssanaaaa

R1: Lost 1.7 (SW 196.8 EW 195.1)
R2: Lost 0.7 (SW 195.1 EW 194.4)
R3: Gained 3.7 (SW 194.4 EW 198.1)
R4: Lost 2.8 (SW 198.1 EW 195.3)
R5: Lost 1.1 (SW 195.3 EW 194.2)

REALLY want to get to 190 this round. I'm just tired of hovering right above it. I've been doing so for forever. It's ridiculous. I need to realize that even if I get down to 190, I'm still obese. It shouldn't be this hard. It's not like some big accomplishment or feat. You're going from obese to still obese. Just do it.

SW: 194.2
GW: 190.0

Plan to reach this goal:
-Restricting eating out to only two times maximum in the next 10 days.
-Pre-plan the night before and make sure you have all of your ingredients at home and follow through.
-Workout at least 3 times a week (Goal of running at least 4.5 minutes straight at 6.5 mph)

Day/Weight/Comment
8/06- 194.8- My weight is fluctuating currently, I think it will be fine by the end of the week.
8/07- 195.2- Honestly, had heavy meals yesterday. Celebrated my friend's birthday with burgers and a dessert that we shared. Going to take it easy today. I will say that yesterday I didn't eat that much dessert so that's good. Going to eat lightly today so hopefully that helps with the upwards fluctuation.
8/08- 195.2- hmm. not sure what to say lol. was over my calories a little so that's the culprit, i know.
8/09- No weigh-in
8/10- Forgot to weigh-in in the morning. Mid-day got 196.8. UMMMM. lol freaked me out.
8/11-194.2- Much better lol. I'm happy this is going back down. I think the fluctuations may have been hormonal which is fine. Here's to making the most out of the last 5 days. I ate PRETTY healthy, like snacking on cherries and grapes right now and had a fruit smoothie with honey for breakfast although I did have top ramen noodles at lunch (not healthy at all lol) but still under my calories so hopefully tomorrows weigh-in will reflect that. FINGERS CROSSED.
8/12- 193.1- lol yay. being under your calories works! haha. I'm over today though. Will be under tomorrow. Hopefully this doesn't make me go up again lol
8/13- 194.4- ugh. tbh i knew this was going to happen. ate way too much yesterday. staying under calories today so hopefully that works out.
8/14-193.4- yay. I did better yesterday so I guess that's where this is from, however, I was still over my calorie goal so hopefully I can stay under today. Will definitely be eating less probably. I do have a final tomorrow, however, so I may have to get a coffee to stay awake and study! Hopefully it won't do too much damage.
8/15- 193.4- Wasn't able to go to the bathroom first this morning lol so I'd think it would be lower than this but at least I still got an overall loss. I'm going overseas on Sunday so I don't know how much I'm going to have the sit out the next couple of rounds because i won't have access to a scale.

SW: 194.2
EW: 193.4
Total: Lost 0.8

Happy that I still have an overall loss with all the fluctuations I went through in this round lol.

@deepwoodslady I had to smile at you marching in front of your bed. I jogged in place the other night to reach my goal. Not even close to 10,000. I’m a slug.

I was hoping that I wasn't the only one who does crazy things to reach their step goal. Misery loves company! Thanks for the shoutout and your welcome for the smile.

Noo, @deepwoodslady & @quiltingjaine, I too have marched around the house. There has also been random dancing while brushing my teeth.

Lol. Well okay then.

@tiabirdie56 thanks for the great advice. I am constantly battling with the amount of calories to consume and how much of a workout makes a difference. I have a hard time consuming a lot of water, when I work out I can down a liter no problem but the rest of the day sips are enough to make me not want anymore. I think making sure every hour I have a little will really help.

tiabirdie56

@abowersgirl, I'm happy that I could be of some help to you. Losing fat is a precision balancing act for each of us. It takes time to get it right and you have to pay attention to what is working for you and tweak it. Each new decade of age changes the formula. I think I have it right for my 6th decade. I think. Good luck on your journey.

This is my 2nd Round, female, 65 years old, 5'6", live in the Pacific Northwest.

OSW: 266 lbs.
CSW: 259 lbs.
RSW: 258.4 LBS
CGW: under 250 lbs. I almost hit 250 last challenge for one day.
IGW: 200 lbs
UGW: 150 LBS

Round 48 Loss=259-255.6 = (-3.4)

Goals
1. stay under calorie goal and tweek meals - the last week of the last challenge I had work that interfered with this.
2. up water intake - slowly improving here
3. increase exercise - the last week of the last challenge work and a Mariners game interfered but I went to the gym on another day to make up for some of that.
4. get enough sleep - I think a little improvement here

8/10: 252.4
8/11: 254.4

8/12: 254.6 Uh Oh, I am slowly going in the wrong direction. I think I know the problem. I have been getting hungry and then snacking usually before dinner. Need to pick the right thing and amount when I am hungry between meals. Usually I am not hungry and am fine with waiting but not now. Guess it is my body fighting me.

8/13: 257
8/14: 255.6
8/15: 253.6 phew a loss! Almost 5 lbs from starting weight and 2 lbs from last challenges ending weight.

Day/Weight/Comment

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.

8/11- Went shopping to today, bought lots of vegetables and fruits. Tried to watch my food portions.
8/12 Walking steps are up- 12,600. Still having a hard time with eating because of steroids, I tried not to eat in-between meals, dinner I was starving I could feel it even in my arms. I tried more fruits and vegetables.

8/13- Today was a hard day for me 2 I/2 hours sleep last night, no sleep during the day time. Eating healthy today, instead of sleep went walking.


8/14 - Steroids and not much sleep are very hard on me I try have one snack during the afternoon and when it comes to dinner it feels like I have not ate anything I can feel it it even my arms. Going to try smoothies again.

8/15- Walking steps are up. Drinking lots of water. Making healthy meals, Saturday I try steroids every other day hopefully that helps me get my food on track.
