Day/Weight/Comment
Starting weight for round 204.3
8/16 203.7 Got my steps in. Was mindful of what I ate, only took a small piece of the birthday treat someone brought in. No late night bingeing. Was going to exercise, had all good intentions at work but when I got home didn’t happen.
8/17 201.9 Yes!!!! Large weight loss hopefully yesterday's number was high and this number is correct. Very hopeful that the first number may be replaced by a 1. It has been years.
8/18 201.7 I need to really watch what I eat this week end because my weight gains always show up on Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday I kind of fell apart with eating right. Today's goals WATER. I don't drink much water on the weekends.
8/19 202.4
8/20 203.4 Not as bad as I was expecting. I need to get my act together on weekends.

@jerier - OMAD is One Meal A Day. It is a type of intermittent fasting where you basically just eat once a day, no calorie counting, just eat until you are full. It is not for everyone but it works for me. Once appetite correction kicks in, you really don't get hungry of miss the other meals. The goal is to lower insulin levels which allow you to burn stored fat.

8/16 - 156 - Wow, after all my whining last round, my weight suddenly seems to be moving in the right direction. I have a feeling this won't stick, but it sure is nice to see this number. I haven't seen this weight since 2001.
8/17 - 156.5 - Not too bad of a bounce back. I didn't get all my water in yesterday, so I'll be chugging it today.
8/18 - 156 - OK!
8/19 - 156 - I had a little extra salt today, so tomorrow may show it, but I'm really happy when my weight doesn't go up on the weekend!

Female age 49 5'5" Goal to lose a few pounds before race day Sept 22nd,
Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 This morning 137 pounds. Concert last night. My food was over my macros. Gym tonight.
8/17 - 136 pounds. Ran an hour last night. Food was on point except for late-night snack.
8/18 -133 pounds. Part of this is dehydration. Outdoor concert in the heat last night and a 40 min run this morning. I expect to see a bit of a rebound gain in the next few days.
8/19 - 133 pounds. No gym today. Relaxing and resting.
8/20 - 134 pounds. I knew I would see a bit of rebound. Back to the gym today.

Round 1 For Me
8/16 290 Day one- Great start, High protein/low carb works for me.
8/17 282.2 - 7.8 lbs Combined first two days fluid loss.
8/18 280.0 – 2.2 lbs Switched off caffine diet soda to clear caffine free soda water. Good day at the gym but its always my toughest to stay with it on a regular basis. I wish I really enjoyed going. Maybe I should take up swing dancing! Yeah right!! One day at a time...... So far all is good.
8/19 280.0 – 0.0 lbs Well not unexpected to have no loss after such a big drop over the past few days. Staying under my calorie and carb count. Going to my grandsons birthday party this afternoon and taking my subway chicken salad and 0 cal dressing with me to stay with it. NO EXCUSES!
8/20 280.8 +0.8 today. Hmmm.. stayed on track at grandsons birthday party but fluid retention is holding me up. This is typical for me. I seem to do the step down weight loss. (Three days plateau then drop.... repeat). Tomorrow is another day. Have a good week everyone.

UGW 125
8/16 166.8 apparently my body likes this number lol. Ate 1200 calories last night ...right on the dot, never done that before. 80 min insanity and 2 liters of water. Overall a great day, no complaints. It has been two weeks since I last took my measurments so today I will have to do that
8/17 165.4 ate below my calorie goal but had a rest day with my exercise routine but did go on extra walks and did some HITT exercises for the first time. Drank 1 liter of water. Good day all in all.
8/18 164.8 my body is weird. I haven't seen a daily drop like this since my first round. Although I'm slightly skeptical because it happened so fast I'm still happy to see this number, even if it ends up being just for today. Ate under calories, exercised for an hour and drank 1 liter of water. I also took my measurment yesterday and in the past two weeks I lost an inch (everhwere). Not bad if I do say so myself. In-laws are coming for dinner tonight and although I will work hard to watch my portions, we will just have to see. *crosses fingers*
8/19-- 166.6. Last night I had a dinner party with the in laws at my place and although I stuck to my portions, ate tons of veggies and fruit for desert (plus exercised all morning before beginning the house cleaning and exercised after they had left) as the night wore on, the temptation of the food put out for the late night snacking took over. I ended up eating some cookies and after they had left potatoe pancakes (I blame my hubby for having the munchies) it's ok though. I am not as dissapoined as I thought I would be, probably because this wasn't necessarily a sabotage, just a moment of weakness and being up later than usual. I have no doubt it will come off in no time (hopefully faster then the other times I gained) 1 liter of water. Here is to a better day!!
8/20-- 165.4 ate well and exercised good. My body has been sore all weekend. It's started with my lower abs and yesterday my arms and calves, haven't felt this sore since I started working out. I was thinking of taking a day off but I am not crazy about the idea, so will probably do yoga and stretching. 1 liter of water. Have a great week everyone

8/16 - 146.8 - saw this weight last round, will see if it sticks around this time.
8/17 - 146.8
8/18 - 148.0 when I woke up and 146.2 after I decided to go back to bed for a couple hours. Hoping the 146.2 is accurate but I also had a burger and booze last night so I see where 148 comes from. Either way I'm back on track today, Friday is always my relaxed evening when it comes to food and drinks because it's usually date night for me and my husband.
8/19 - 148.2 - I guess my body isn't ready to be rid of this number yet. I've lost pretty consistently since January though so being stuck here for a bit is ok.
8/20 - 149.0 - ok with being stuck but not gaining, so very frustrated. Kids start school tomorrow so things should be getting back on a pretty set schedule and I am definitely needing the consistency it'll bring.

8/16 175.6/ My goal for this challenge is to get into the 173’s. I’m pleased that my starting weight for each challenge has really decreased. Tonight we’re eating at home and I’m going to yoga. Tomorrow will be a challenge because we’re going out so I might get up in the morning and work-out tomorrow.
8/17 173.4/ I know I won’t be maintaining this number tomorrow since we’re going out tonight and I probably won’t be able to drink enough water to catch up. My new goal is 171s during this round. I’d love to be out of this decade soon.
8/18 No weigh in
8/19 No weigh in
8/20 177.2 / This is my every Monday problem and I’m sure it will be a problem next Monday as well because we’re going to a wedding this weekend. I’ll be drinking plenty of water today.

weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
Round 50 – goal = go 2 days without adult beverages and see what scale has to say!
7/16 = 192lbs - ate light yesterday so probably just an empty stomach. Starting to get used to having a tailbone but it sure is annoying. very aggressive goal for me this round!
7/17 – 192lbs – had a decent food day most of this week. Hydration is still at 56% - not going to reach my goal this week but maybe some time next week.
7/18 work work work
7/19 work play rest
7/20 – 192lbs. well the weekend is over, and I didn’t gain. Yippee. Now to work on my goal. I should have a couple extra days this week to practice since the weather is looking bad for fishing league tomorrow. Its been years since I went more then 2 days without adult beverage. I am not sure I can do it, but I must try. I started this diet to learn will power. Time to test it….

8/16 180.8 Close to a new decade! My workout buddy is back from her camping trip so the day has begun with a workout.
8/17 181.8
No idea why, did my work out, exceeded my step goal and was on target with calories. I am tired and grumpy today so will have to be on my guard re emotional eating.
8/18 180.4 I did eat a chocolate bar yesterday, but only one. I ate it slowly and enjoyed every bit and I stayed within my calories so yay me! In the past I ate chocolate bars the way other people smoked cigarettes, one before work, one at break, one before lunch, one or two after lunch etc etc, 7 or more in a day. So one and done is great.
8/19 181.8 mea culpa - did fine most of the day, but fell back into old habits in the evening mindessly grabbing a handful of this or that whenever the opportunity arose. Woke up with a cold this morning - so I am going to have a quiet day. Somehow knowing that there is a reason why I feel like carp makes it easier to stay on track.

Round 46 End Weight = 159.6 (5.2 lbs lost)

Round 48 End Weight = 155.2 (2.0 lbs lost)
Round 49 End Weight = 151.2 (4.0 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 50 Goal: to be out of the 150's and into the 140's
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in weeks 5-6 of 12), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/day
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.
8/16 = 151.2 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday was a rest day in my 90 day challenge, so I just went for a short run. I ate okay but still low on my calories, I need to get to the grocery store and do some meal prep! I'm missing my daughter, who is still away, but I'm very proud of myself that I have been able to enjoy this alone time and not worry about her like I was afraid I would. It helps that I'm getting daily pictures of her doing fun things and she has a happy, relaxed smile in each one. Today, I've got my day 28 workout to do & I want to get in a short run as well and then lots of house cleaning & laundry to do. I wish everyone a great start to round 50, this is a great challenge to be a part of! "What you do today, can improve all your tomorrows."
8/17 = 151.2 (no change from yesterday) 3rd day in a row at this weight, but I had a big loss last round, so a bit of a slow down is to be expected. I completed the 1st month of my 90 day challenge yesterday and am scheduled to start the 2nd month today but my body is rebelling. It's giving me all the nopes in regards to working out today. I'm going to take today and tomorrow off and start the 2nd month exercises on Sunday. My fitness group that I am a part of has a saying...."all or something", so I am allowing myself to listen to my body and pick this up next week. Have a great weekend everyone!
8/18 = 151.5 (up .3 from yesterday) I spent last night at my sister's & I didn't have my scale with me this morning, so I used hers, so this may or may not be a real "gain". There is no reason for it, so it doesn't bother me. Today was my 2nd rest day and I was still not feeling 100% when I woke up. I finally went to the grocery store and I'm prepped to have my nutrition back on point tomorrow when I re-start up again with my workouts. I'm feeling better after dinner tonight of beef tenderloin, broccoli, and rice, thinking maybe my iron was low. I'm going to start back up with multi-vitamins this week, I've gotten out of the habit and need to better with this.
8/19 = 151.2 (down .3 from yesterday) Back down to this number again, which is fine. I have a big event on Thursday and I just got my dress back from being altered and don't want to lose too much weight this week and have it be too loose. It fits perfectly right now, so I'm okay with maintaining this week if that is what happens. I ate closer to maintenance today but I got in a lot of exercise. Did my day 29 of 90 workout, went for a run, & a long walk.
8/20 = 150.8 (down .4 from yesterday) Scale is moving again! So close to being under 150, but I think that might not happen and stick until the next round. I definitely will go over calories on Thursday night with drinks as well as food and then it will probably take the last 2 days to rebound. I will be mindful of what I eat and drink at this event, but I also am taking it as a "no strings attached" evening. I plan on enjoying myself in a reasonable manner and then getting right back to eating at a deficit the next day. Today is a rest day on my 90 day challenge but I plan on getting a long walk in as I'm in a steps challenge in another group. Have a great start to this new week everyone!

R50 (second round for me:)
R49 results: starting 63.2kg, end 61.7 kg (-1.5 kg)
Target for this round is to go below 60 kg...59.9 would be an absolutely great result
Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 - 61.3 kg, yesterday had a very disciplined day after seing the morning weight slight increase. Low carb diet respected, 1 hour of yoga and no food after 18:00. Today I have a party , hope to keep drinks under control, We will see tomorrow morning the damages.
8/17 - 61.6 kg, small gain that is no surprise considering the 2 large beers that I have yesterday. I am happy there is no significant damage, back on track today & no party plans
8/18 - 61.1 kg, clean eating, no food after 18:00 and unfortunately no sport as my class was canceled.
8/19 - 60.7 kg, clean eating, low carb, yoga done and no food after 18:00. Had however a glass of white wine and I am happy that I didn't see it in the scale
8/20 - 60.8 kg, relatively clean eating but snacking too much, this is my challenge during the weekend, take few nuts, a cube of parmesan, again few nuts and didn't resist to a dry martini in the evening. So while I kept it under 20 carbs I think that I pushed a little bit on the calories side. On the positive side I have done my circuit class and started at home some arm exercises that I plan to do daily on top of the gym. Hoping to see my hidden muscles:)

Day/Weight/Comment
•8/16 - 187 - WOW. I haven't retained fluid like this for a while.
•8/17 - 185 - Okay, it's ON fluid retention. Drank my ACV & lemon water this morning and will be increasing my water consumption to 100+ ozs daily. I'll be drinking a cup of parsley tea later and will continue doing that every day until I don't feel like spongebarb any longer. And SLEEP! That's what my weight increase and this drop is from, not enough and a recoup. Getting there, still retaining. I also need to revise my food diary today. Acceptable foods that cause me no problems, but I need to not eat them at this time.
•8/18 - 185.6 - It's going to be a battle. I'm ready.
•8/19 - 185.8 - OOoooo I had a feeling that once I reached 186 I would plateau. I looked 2 rounds back, I never touched on 186. My body is such a tease. And yeah, still retaining fluid. Smh.
•8/20 - 184 - Only one pound left to reach a 70 lb loss.

Still hurting, but I'm excited to see the doctor in integrative medicine this morning and, hopefully, get a non-prednisone handle on this pain. Happy to be below 145 to start this round!
8/17 - 143 - 966 - 10-day ave 1151
I was stunned to see this number this morning! It's the lowest I've been in probably 3 decades (though I was just slightly more 2 years ago, before I did a metabolism reset). I don't know that it will stick -- my calories were artificially low yesterday as I had to fast 12 hours for early morning blood work -- but still!!!
It's a rainy Friday here, but I'm hurting slightly less and feeling much more hopeful after seeing the integrative doctor yesterday. I'm hoping to work on my home (only!) office today and then shop for a standing (adjustable) desk -- I'm finally feeling like getting back to work on my next book. Have a lovely weekend, all!
8/18 - 143.2 - 1435 - 10-day ave 1168
Happy Saturday! The first flower is blooming on my new climbing rose - I'll take that as a happy omen. And although my stated goal for this round is to maintain, with any loss a bonus, I'm secretly hoping to hit 142 by the end. But I am adding some calories - I've been a bit too low. Macros have been good, though.
8/19 - 143.2 - 1189 - 10-day ave 1185
Looking forward to a beautiful Sunday. I hope yours is lovely!
8/20 - 143.4 - 1359 - 10-day ave 1213
My actual weight is dancing around a bit, but my moving average is steadily dropping -- it's now 143.1. Yay! At least something worthwhile has come of my medical misadventure. One of the things I'm now doing religiously (rather than haphazardly like before) is to practice daily stress-control, including mediation, listening to music that lifts me up, and reading/listening to VERY little news. Oh, and cuddling my lovely Lily helps a lot. She would even let me chew her bone if I wanted to.

8/17 165 I am visiting my family this weekend, hopefully I won't gain. Will not be able to weigh in for the next 2 days.
8/18 Away, not able to weigh. Went over my calorie goal yesterday, I probably will today also. Cookout day, plan to have 1 burger and dessert. No sodas, unless diet.
8/19 Still not able to weigh. Yesterday did not go as planned. Had little over half my burger, 1 hotdog without the bun, and 3 desserts, along with a couple beverages late last night. Got sick from 2 drinks. Not near enough water yesterday either. On a positive note, everyone was talking about how good I looked and now much weight I had lost. So that was nice that the results are starting to show to everyone else also.
8/20 164 Awesome. I'm so happy that I didn't gain from the weekend 😊.

8/16 - 182.6 - Fairly healthy day yesterday. Jonah requested burgers for supper so had cucumber slices and Pringles with it instead of fries.
8/17 - 182.4 - Good day again yesterday. Sure missing my walks because of the smoke in the air.
8/18 - 183.0 - well I wish we could just forget yesterday happened, but there is no honesty and accountability in that. I overate yesterday and made poor choices all day. I was tired from a sleepless night and craved so much junk. Even as I ordered both lunch and supper I was arguing with myself. Then I couldn’t force myself to exercise much even after paying to go swim. Oh well, today is a new day and I’m rested, lots to do today so that should help burn some off.
8/19 - 183.0 much better day yesterday, it will still be two or three days before I see the end of Friday’s debacle though.
8/20 - 184.0 Leftover from Friday, yesterday was pretty good.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
8/16 133.5 Soooo, the cat woke me at 4AM because he thought that was a good time for breakfast. I didn’t so was going to put him in his carrier. When I pivoted, the toe of my shoe caught in the grout line and we went down. I hit my ribs on the refrigerator and skinned one knee. Pretty sure I’m going to have a bruise but currently sitting with a well wrapped ice pack on my side. I don’t think anything is broken. I think Oskar is going to be restricted at night to the sewing room and bathroom in the future. (Master suite)
8/17 133.5 I slept in the recliner last night and got over 8 hours in spite of my sore ribs and ice pack. At lunch I ate French fries. They were perfectly cooked - crispy! I ate about 1/3 and gave the rest to Carl. I’m still in nutritional ketosis this morning so that’s good. We’ll see what the scale thinks tomorrow or Sunday!
8/18 136.0 (!) That’s what carbs do! I was hurting yesterday from my fall and ate 1/2 a pita with my Greek salad w/ gyro meat. The price I pay for 2 high carb days!
8/19 135.0 Some of my lady friends are coming over to eat, drink, and sew. I wish I felt better. My ribs are better but getting anything accomplished is exhausting. We were out last night, I went to bed late and woke early. DD#2 is going to cut my hair. She is a school teacher but gives better haircuts than the salons I have visited.
8/20 134.5 Two of my friends came over yesterday. We enjoyed good conversation, Keto snacks and adult beverages. Vodka/soda15 -

@1991court, You're doing well. Probably fluid retention from all the exercise you did. You stated that you ate all of your calories. I expect that is your regular daily allotment? And your exercise allowed you more calories to consume that you did not eat? Personally, I am not a fan of eating back exercise calories (ALWAYS a debate on MFP) but if I've burned almost a thousand calories, and I'm hungry, I will eat 1/3 to 1/2 back that same day. Otherwise, I'll just wait for a day later in the week to recoup some of those calories.
@marcvb35, You can break a habit or limit it. You'll do it.
@SheilaBoneham, I am so happy for you! It's really wonderful when you discover what works for you to reduce pain and inflammation. Weight loss is the added bonus! Hi there Lily!
@cdavisdeva, I know it was a good feeling when your hard work at losing weight was noticed by others. Congrats!
@quiltingjaine, Vodka/soda and friends = excellent pain reliever
