Mâle, 48yo

Round 49: SW 186 EW: 184.53 (1.47 lbs lost this round)
Round 50: SW 184.53 EW: 178.79 ( 5 .74 lbs lost this round). / Total Lost so far: 7. 21lbs
Round 51: SW178.79 EW:


My Goal for the next 10 days : if i Can have same results as previous round that will be awesome but i will try to do better.
Strategy: eat better, drink vinaigre acide twice a day, burn 350-400 cal by doing exercices . Intermittent fasting. This round will try not to eat after 6PM, it seems that's very helpful for weightloss.

@abowersgirl - Thanks for the empathy on the cheesy crackers. Posting about it here and getting your response helped. I didn't eat any yesterday. I'm rooting for you to see the 150s very soon!

@fraukazi - Thanks for sharing the beautiful picture from your run. The scenery is gorgeous.

That finally puts me at Overweight instead of Obese! I honestly have been trying for this since January when I decided to forgo weight loss surgery and give MFP and low carb dieting a try. My BMI started at 38.5 in January. My fat % was at 46.2% and is now at 33.6% Yay me. It really can be done! Meanwhile.... Bump up in weight. I think I’m still fighting the weight and water from the car show. These things do show up delayed. I had a 2 mile walk yesterday and my diet wasn’t too bad.

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)
Round 50 - SW 147 EW 147 (no change)

5 '-1"

8/26 - Out of town.
8/27 - 147. I missed the end of the last round since I was out of town for a long weekend. We walked everywhere and I even made it to the hotel gym. We also went on a guided food tour. Even before the trip, I had a round of no scale movement. I like what I'm doing this time. It feels sustainable and I hope that I can get to a healthy weight doing it. I'm going to go one more round without changing my program and see if the scale starts to move again. If not, I'll reevaluate for September. Even though the scale isn't moving, I feel stronger, healthier and just a little bit firmer.
8/28 - 146. Yay!
8/29 - 146. I got 146, 145 and 147 from the scale this morning with three consecutive weighings. Maybe my trusty old mechanical scale isn't so trusty anymore. But I kind of have a soft spot for it, I've had it since I was 19!
8/30 - 146. I'll take it. I've been having a little problem with cheesy crackers... Lots of cheesy crackers. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I bought a Costco-sized package of them and we've been spending a little too much time together. Challenge for today: Eat no cheesy crackers!
8/31 - 145. Lots of exercise, water and no cheesy crackers yesterday. I was pretty excited to see 145 this morning.

Round 50 – SW 160.2, loss -.8

Round 51 – SW 160.8 (a blip up from yesterday), GW lower 159’s
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128
Day/Weight/Comment
8/26, Sunday – 160.8 Last night was at our friends’ fiftieth wedding anniversary do – all 5 hrs of it. Fun but long and even though I was careful on the food, lots of extra salt and sugar. Hope this is mostly water weight but haven’t been all that careful this week so it may be payback.
8/27, Monday – 159.2 Maybe I can make it under 159 this time.
8/28, Tuesday – 159.2 Determined to sew myself a pair of pants today so I have something nice that really fits and in a color I like. I've sewn in the past but never pants for myself - I know there will be fitting to do but if I can successfully navigate that, it's a relatively easy sew.
8/29, Wednesday – 159.4
8/30, Thursday – 160.8
8/31, Friday – 160.8 Still working on the pants for this trip. Had no idea that doing proper alterations would take so long but they are coming along nicely. Feeling draggy today likely b/c I’ve been nibbling on snacks (bought for the trip – what ‘trip’ have I been on? Should have known better than to buy them ahead of time. At least they are relatively low calorie.)

-68.5 lbs in 973 days, 27 days until my 1,000th day!
(1 lb every 14.2 days on avg)_
-45.2 of them since Sept 27, 2017 (338 days)

* Micro changes in habits each week create magic!
* Daily exercise - even a mild stroll- makes a big difference...
** When you most feel like giving up, and you keep going, that’s when the scale really drops!
*** I had given up on dieting, and had forgotten completely how good it feels to be lighter. ****Everything is easier and pain free. A miracle.

@heymossy you are still doing amazing!!!

@deepwoodslady thank so so much 😀😀😀 and congrats on the NSV you are doing amazing!!! I am happy you decided to give MFP a try rather then surgery. There is so much more pride in accomplishing what you thought you couldn't this way and you are more likely to keep it off because you had to work so hard to get here. Keep it Up!!

@cpanus I'm wondering what kind of job you have?? Why? Because I'm curious why you would weigh yourself at 03.30 in the morning

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 1

8/26 - 73.4kg
8/27 - 73.0kg -- Yesterday I actually was more committed thinking about this group. every time I wanted to "cheat" I remembered that I'll be logging my weight in the morning and that these 10 days might not show a minus if I do so. It worked, I stayed out of the fridge.
8/28 - 72.6kg -- I swear that this is the first time in forever I see the scale going down.woo! It must be this challenge! I'm really mindful of what I'm doing/eating knowing that I'll be reporting on it. Tonight I have the gym, curious to see how that affects things. Ideally, I'd love to lose 1kg (2lbs) every challenge. Not sure if that's possible, but I'll try! This is an awesome group. Keep rocking, ladies, and gents. We can do this.
8/29 - 71.8 kg - Wooo! probably just losing water or something but I'll take it. I was on my cal goal and went to the gym, so pretty good day. It's summer here so navigating weekends here is the most difficult part. Beer, icecreams and a bunch of other no-nos everywhere. But hey, it's "just 10 days", right? It really helps me to chunk this down and think in those terms. I'm trying to learn not to use the food as an award, so here's mine: At the end of the challenge purchase new fitness clothes as a reward.
8/30 - 71.7 kg - Last night I had 2 beers, but I skipped dinner. Not very healthy but I wasn't really hungry and I was going out with my friends. I don't want to be enslaved by MFP or weight loss, we still need to live in the process. Anyways, good to see this. If I end this Round on 71, I'll be happy. Tonight I have the gym, so yay there! Maybe we see a small drop tomorrow. Still loving this challenge, and already know I'll be doing the next one too.
8/31 - 71.3kg - Yesterday was such a busy day that I didn't even have time to eat at work, although I brought food! Wasn't hungry, either. Gym sessions was fabu, having another one tonight. For 2 more weeks I'll be going 3x/week and then I'm shifting to 5x/week. A friend inspired me: when I told her "I don't have time to go to the gym" she said, "then there's something very wrong with your business and life priorities if you don't have 1h per day for yourself and your health". How very true!
9/01 - 71.8 kg aaah, there it is. The famous "weight loss is not linear". I know it's not a lot but these things bum me out. I'm so glad I joined this and I have somewhere to share how I feel and not have people roll their eyes bc it's "just" a small up. Anyways, I'm pushing through. Weekend officially started, which is my danger zone. Usually A LOT of social events, we'll be at the beach and spend a bunch of time with my family (we're all The Feeders). I'm gonna look at it as a challenge. It's only 1 weekend to miss beer and other treats and it's going to push me towards my goal. I can do this.

Aine_60

This round will be tricky for me, as for the first half I will be abroad on a family visit, a trip which will be full of temptations in the shape of wine, cake, snacks and restaurant dinners (basically everything that I've so successfully been avoiding in the previous round...).

Therefore for this round I will mostly focus on maintaining and to stay below 65.5kg (144lbs).

8/26 – 175.3 lbs Today I am wearing a tank top in my own house for the first time in many years. I wasn’t even comfortable with wearing a tank top when I was home alone! I’m so motivated again after the huge loss last round.

8/27 - 174.8 (-0.5) I am just feeling so motivated right now. Went out and bought new a new exercise outfit today (as my old ones were sizes XL-XXL and now I’m a M-L). Was so happy trying on clothes, that I could have bought everything they had if my economy wasn’t crying for help hahah. It’s an indescribable feeling to actually feel good when trying on clothes. Finally starting physical therapy tomorrow and I’m so excited I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep tonight. Really hope it can help with my super low blood pressure and my fainting. (I have Addison’s disease! )

8/28 - 173.9 (-0.9) I have no idea what’s going on here, but I’ll take it! I was stuck on 180+- for 2 months and now I’m just flying through 170? That’s fine by me! 😅 Did nothing else than reduce my carb intake and eat more fat/protein. Exact same calorie intake. Going to the gym to meet my physical therapist in an hour. Update on how it went tomorrow 😄 Super excited! Hope everyone has a nice day.

8/29 – 173.2 (-0.7) Physical therapy yesterday was awesome. Focused on balance and core. We decided that it’s smart to focus most on butt, hips and legs to start with. She was so awesome and understanding and didn’t want to pressure me until i faint. Gonna see her again on Friday :-D Aiming for exercise 5 times a week in the long run, but I have to build up a bit first.

8/30 – 173.0 (-0.2) I get so inspired by all the people who come here everyday and write about their journey. It means everything to read about your goals, weaknesses and strengths and not to mention the motivation behind your weight loss. Keeps me super motivated everyday. I have never been as motivated as I am after I joined MFP. Earlier I could go on these powder diets and feel like I was starving for a few weeks, then I would totally come crashing down with just a big feast of food.. And gain even more weight than I lost! Now, I'm looking at it on a whooole other level and I feel really good. I'm never hungry and I eat food that tastes good and does my body good. I can thank the myfitnesspal community for that. You truly are an inspiration

8/31 - 173.0 (—) After the weight going down everyday for two weeks, this is totally expected. Worked out for 30 minutes today. Balance training and legs/butt/arms. Feels really good, but I get very tired after! Think I actually have to take a little nap if I’m going to survive this Friday 🤭


9/01 - 174.0 (+1.0) I think it's my time of the month very soon.. I have not done anything that could explain this. Ate less than my calorie goal and worked out (didn't eat back workout calories). This fluctuation will probably pass soon

8/26 162.4 new week new start. Ate good, walked around with my hubby but my water needs to be better, 1 liter. Hope everyone has a great week!!

8/27 161.6 90 min of endurance challenges (plank, crunches, pushups, squats) ate delicious healthy food and drank 1.5 liters of water. Happy to see this number!!!! I know (from experience) that if I keep this up I will easily reach the 50s. Having said that though, I know once I start my 50s those 10 pounds will be way harder to take off from the last 15. Not going to think about that now though, just planning to keep moving forward.

8/28-- 161.4 I drank a bottle of water before I weighed in....oops. Yesterday I had another boost of energy which I find is happening more often then it used too. I did 150 min of exercising, the only issue with that being I ended up staying up till 1 30 in the morning 😥😥 i took the day off because I am going to the hospital with my aunt for the day (nothing serious) so at least I got to sleep in longer then usual but i do need to better manage these energetic days. I was also less hungry, forcing down my food. I always feel like there is no comfortable medium for me I am either always hungry or not hungry at all. 1.6 liters of water

8/29 ---160.8 crazy morning..So happy I can finally post. Ate out yesterday (haven't gone out to a restaurant in forever) but grabbed all healthy alternatives and stayed within my calorie goal. I'm excited by this number but yesterday's lunch had tons of sodium so I am hoping that this number doesn't increase too much or at all by tomorrow. Walked a good amount of the day and didn't get around to my usual work out routine (guess yesterday was my one rest day this week) and drank 1 liter of water. I can't wait to see those 50s, but I am trying not to get my hopes up just yet...TOM will be here in a couple of days

8/30-- 160.6 my body likes to tease me as I reach a new weight range. Exercised for 90 min, ate within my calories and 1.6 liters of water. Hope everyone has a great day.

8/31-- 160.6 feeling bloated today. My TOM is supposed to be here this weekend so first comes the feeling of being bloated and fat, next comes a slight weight gain. Usually I don't get upset by a weight gain, knowing that it will drop immediately after my first day, this time around I am slightly peeved. I am so close to those 50s and now I am going to be teased lol. On a positive note I took my measurements yesterday and in the past two weeks I have lost 1 and a 1/2 inches on my waist and 1/2 inch on my hips....not too bad if I do say so myself. 1.5 liters of water yesterday, ate within my calories and 90 min of endurance training. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

9/01--160.2 still holding my breath for that gain I am expecting (my TOM is due monday, made a small mistake a couple of days ago thought it was supposed to arrive today until I checked my calender) ackkkk the suspense is killing me lol. I can taste those 50s. Ate within calories, exercised over 90 min and drank 1.6 liters of water. I hope everyone has a great weekend
