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.
8/21 204.1 Monday and Tuesday weight up definitely seeing a pattern. Now time to go down.
8/22 203.6 Getting the snacking urges back real bad again.

@quiltingjaine - I would start to train him slowly, now I am just happy that he is experimenting with food and I get to skip cooking myself
. He is 14. My daughter is almost 16 and she truly believes that is my job to cook till she is 18th. I am joking that for her 18th birthday I will buy her a nice and expensive set of pots and I would consider my job done:). 5 -

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:)
8/21 - 61.4 kg, totally unexpected. I had a clean day , 21 carbs, 1100 cal and 3 liters of water + 1 class of TRX. I do not really understand what went wrong. I even was full of energy and cleaned my kitchen till 10 pm (my 14 yo son loves to cook and experiments in the kitchen but I need at least 1 hour of deep cleaning after he prepares something). I think that I was on the extreme side of energy as I was not able to sleep till 1 am and even after that I can remember that I moved from one side to another all night and now of course I can barely keep my eyes open. Hope tomorrow is a better day!
8/22 - 61 kg, this is annoying somehow but that's life. Clean day yesterday, low carb, stop eating around 17:30, played tennis for 1 hour, drunk all my water. Still 3 days to go, feeling that my goal is still achievable

In again. Let’s see if I can work a little harder this round and see better results.
End round 49 - 178.2
Goal round 50 - 176.0.
8/16 -177.8 (-.4 so far) movement in the right direction.
8/17 - 177.6 (-.6 total so far). I certainly dodged a bullet on that weigh in. Had to go to Walmart after work and was soooo hungry...bought and ATE a whole bag of Brachs Bridge Mix. Sooo sooo good! I just have no self control sometimes! Note to self. STAY OUTTA THE STORES!!
8/18 - DNW- but I’ll be back in the morning.
8/19 - 178.6 - NO NO NO NO NO NO, it is the state of ugliness! I am hanging tonight and we will see what the morning brings.
8/20 - 179.6 - This is not going very well. I know I need to push the water more and start measuring and logging.
8/21 - 180.6 - I honestly don’t even know what to say. I’m on my feet at work 10 hours a day and moving moving moving. I haven’t had any wine in a over a week. SMH! I know my hands are swollen as I barely got my ring off this morning so I’ll continue to push the water but that’s all I’ve got.
8/22 - 179.2 - !!!!!

Round 50
Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 - 162.4lbs (I’ll take that )
8/17- 162lbs ( small lost but still a lost trying to stay positive. I hope to be in the 161s tomorrow)
8/18- 160.2lbs I weighed first thing this morning & was so happy to see this number. I was in disbelief & stepped off & on about 5 times no lie just to see the same number appear. But after 20 mins I decided to weigh again just to be sure 🙄 & it read 161.2lbs 😭 so I dont know which one to go by hoping the lower number is correct of course. So if the lower number is correct I’m officially down to pre pregnancy weight. But a huge goal for me will be to get out of the 60s because from grade 10(I think age 15/16) to 22 I been 160 - 165lbs. So it would be amazing to finally see number that’s not in the 60s
8/19- 162lbs😒 hmm I was feeling so disappointed when I saw this number this morning. Earlier today not so good, I ate things I knew I shouldn’t have. But I did manage to stop myself from binge eating. For dinner I’m going to take things light with chicken and some steamed veggies. Hope I’m back down tomorrow.
8/20-162lbs tired of seeing this number getting a bit discouraged to getting at my goal of 158lbs at the end of the round. Hopefully I see progress tomorrow.
8/21- 162lbs hoping for a miracle to get me back on track
8/22- 161.2lbs thank you body 🤗

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!
8/20 - 155.5 - This is nice to see on a Monday morning!
8/21 - 155.5 - I'm holding steady and that's OK. I went into a slight panic this morning when I got in my office and realized I forgot to bring my half sandwich for lunch today. It's pretty funny because 6 months ago I would have used it as an excuse to go to the little restaurant next door and ordered their yummy ham and cheese sliders. Today, they've lost their appeal and I will make do with my banana, grapes, popcorn, and some crackers. It's amazing how the daily weigh in has changed my food choices/priorities.
8/22 - 155 - I hit my wedding weight from 8/11/2001! I'm also down 2.5 lbs. from one week ago! I wonder if my body is just catching up from the plateau I had from mid July to early August. Doesn't matter, I'm glad I stuck through it and managed to see this number again.

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.
8/21 281.2 +0.4 Well that was disappointing. Stayed well below my calorie and carb limits and still gained for the second day. Yeah I know... fluid.... still its not fun watching the scale go up. Sticking in for the long haul though as I know it will come down again.. usually with a big drop which will make me happy once again. Im always in such a hurry to lose. Something I have to deal with.
8/22 279 – 2.2 lbs Yeah! Next step down and into the next decade. Ketosis on track this morning. Lots of water again today. This 10 day challenge is great for keeping me accountable and working with short term and long term goals.

My official weekly weigh in, is Tuesday evening @ TOPS, so my ticker tape will reflect that loss.

My ultimate goal is 175lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

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.
8/21 148.0 - my weigh ins have moved to an hour earlier than I have been now that school has started and I have to get my son up early. Was completely expecting an increase and was going to be perfectly fine with it as I took the day off from work to spend a day out with my kids before the 1st day of school. It included pizza buffet and popcorn at the movies so still might see the increase tomorrow but going to eat as healthy as possible today and hope it doesn't jump again.
8/22 - 148.0 - Had a lunch picnic at my sons school for his 1st day, ate a hot dog and then filled up on fruit and veggies instead of the tons of chips that were there and brought my cookie home for my daughter. Hoping to see a drop before the end of this round.

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.
8/20 183.6
- pride goeth before a fall
8/21 184.4 What the hey! I was on track yesterday, logged everything, stayed under calories, got all my steps. Well quitting won't help so I guess I'll soldier on.
8/22 182.0 Whew! Thanks for all the hugs yesterday - love this thread. Now to get to work to see if I can actually end this round with a loss.

Kind of depressing that I feel the same as when I weighed 245. But kind of happy that my scale, when I first got on kept flickering between 230 and 231 before settling on 231.6 (I round up to smooth over differences). So most definitely heading in the right direction! Also somewhat pleased that I kept to my food plan despite a neighbor bringing over 2 dozen cookies. I did eat one, but only one, and that could fit. Just ate it r e a l l y slowly.
The rest will go to the grand daughter. Will be so happy to lose the 230's and proceed to the 220's.

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!

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.

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.

I'm starting on an extra strength dose of curcumin today per my new doctor (since I have declined to take prednisone, at least for now). Hoping it brings down the inflammation & pain. (I'm using Terry's Naturally brand Curamin Extra Strength.) Anyone have experience with it? I'll say one thing - I'm glad don't still have those extra 75 pounds weighing on my sore joints. If you're aiming to lose significant weight, keep at it - the result are worth the effort on so many levels!

The rain has stopped and it promises to be a gorgeous day - I'm having lunch with a friend (Panera Bread - friendly to my plan) and then planning a nice walk. I may go to the zoo this evening - only a couple more weeks of their evening hours so I want to make the most of it.

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….
7/21 - 193lbs. ate okay yesterday since wife wanted the salmon leftovers. I made a salmonwich with water chestnuts and fat free ranch dressing. I Love eating the foods I hunt, fish, and gather. Broke down and picked up some adult beverage at 8pm. Not even close to reaching my goal.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 155.2 Weak start as far as my eating yesterday for this challenge as I overindulged and did not track my meal last night, but it was good. I expect a bump up tomorrow from the carbs (rice, garlic bread, alcohol, ice cream)
8/17 156.2 Yesterday another wth day, ate well all day until after dinner toast with butter, ice cream, basically a binge. Not really sure what is going on, but if I had to guess I would say...I am feeling bored and am seeking "variety" through eating, plus that "full" feeling when you eat a lot of carbs. As I was eating the ice cream it didn't even taste that good or satisfy, but I finished it anyway. I guess it's why I am here. It's hard sometimes to deal with the relationship with food. It's not like we can go cold turkey and stop eating. One day at a time.
8/18 155 Woke up with a migraine- movies last night, popcorn. Eating still not good. Dairy causing breakouts. Headaches. Body is telling me.
8/19 154.2 Stayed down most of yesterday recovering from the migraine, it's so strange how our bodies choose to let go of weight. I have had a "bad" week so far eating macros and over calories, yet I am now dropping. Just another lesson to trust the process and stay the course. I am not beating myself up for induging, because I am not on a diet. I am merely making smarter choices with occasional treats. My whole life I have done the yoyo, though this is the highest (171) I let myself go. Where I usually run into problems is not in losing the weight, that is the easy part. The hard part is when I am thin and I think I can just eat whatever I want. And there it comes back again. The only time I really maintained was when I was a runner, though I lacked tone. I have not gotten myself active again though it is necessary as part of the whole picture, but school starts next Tuesday so there will be no more excuses then!
8/20 Weigh in Day 154.6 Down 1 lb since last weigh in. I found some notes from 2009 with my weight and measurements, I weighed 147 and am curious to see what my measurements will be now 9 years later when I reach that number. I better get my butt moving if I want to match or beat them since for sure I was running back then!
8/21 154.4 Just another day. I started tracking my migraines in my fitbit app so I can maybe finally see what the triggers are. (other than overthinking induced)
8/22 156.2 Bloating from excess calories and carbs yesterday. This has been an off round :-(

Round 50 (#14)
I typically don't set goals because I find myself sabotaging them. Stupid, I know, but it's true. This round I've decided to set one goal:Stop binge eating my trigger foods which are too numerous to list.#37: 142.6 - 137.4 = -5.2
#38: 137.4 - 136.8 = -0.6
#39: 136.8 - 136.2 = -0.6
#40: 136.2 - 135.0 = -1.2
#41: 135.0 - 133.6 = -1.4
#42: 133.6 - 134.2 = +0.6
#43: 134.2 - 133.4 = -0.8
#44: 133.4 - 132.4 = -1.0 Body fat 28.0% acceptable range
#45: 132.4 - 132.6 = +0.2
#46: 132.6 - 133.0 = +0.4
#47: 133.0 - 134.8 = +1.8
#48: 134.8 - 137.2 = +2.4
#49: 137.2 - 136.0 = -1.2
8/16: 136.0, 3rd consecutive day of late night binging. Dang, I’m exhausted! Living alone makes this too easy.
8/17: 134.8, yet again... no binging (yay)
8/18: 138.4 Thai for dinner.
8/19: 136.2
8/20: 135.2
8/21: 139.0, restaurant breakfast = almost 1000 calories. Ridiculous.
8/22: 138.2, still not binging, but consumed too many calories.
8/23: 136.4, restaurant food hangover, be gone already. Geez16 -

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 let
yeah, still retaining fluid. Smh.
•8/20 - 184 - Only one pound left to reach a 70 lb loss.
•8/21 - 184 - My 1 yr weightloss journey anniversary. YAAAAAAAY. Well, 183.8 and 183 showed up this morning. Also, 182 and 180.2. Lol. My scale was trying to help me out with a 70 lb loss today. I'm still retaining some fluid so 183.8 or 183 may be true. Still have 50 lbs to go, so I'm not going to rejoice too much.
•8/22 - 184.4- I'm having SO MUCH FUN. Fluid retention, TMJ flare and my intestines decided to throw a raucous party and insisted that I attend.
