Day/Weight/Comment
8/26 154.8 Impromptu much needed date night last night, adult beverages and fried appetizers but so w orth it. Last round was difficult, although I did pull it together at the end. My plan for this next 10 days is to continue my 5/7 days of exercise, log everything (some nights when I go off the rails I don't log) and get to152 for this round. My weight loss has slowed, but that is a direct result of my actions. Just remembering its a long game, not a sprint, and slow loss is still good because it is giving me more time to truly ingrain the habits and the lifestyle that will make this loss sustainable for the long haul.
8/27 WEIGH IN DAY 155.2 Hmmm...Too much snacking and not enough moving. Ate at maintenance yesterday. Today is Monday, a new week. I have had 2 rounds of stagnancy, this means that if I get a hold of my sticktoitiveness I can reach my 152.xx goal without much crying!
Time to refocus on why I am doing this.

1. I want to feel good about my body
2. Hard is good.
3. I like to work towards a goal.
4. I am setting an example for my family
5. This is the only body I get, and I want to take care of it
6. I really want to reach my goal and take an impromptu trip to Maui as a reward!

8/28 154.2 Good day yesterday eating, walking, and overall. Just piping in that it really helps me to read everyone's successes and challenges. We seem to go in waves...

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

8/26 - 154.5 - I've got a birthday party today, cataract surgery tomorrow, and a picnic next Sunday. I'm hoping I can drop a little weight this round with all the events this week.
8/27 - 155.5 - I think I ate around maintenance calories last night, so this was probably some water retention. I had my cataract surgery this morning and then I ate the leftover birthday food today, so tomorrow probably won't be any better.
8/28 - 156 - Ouch! Hopefully I can get back to work tomorrow and get back on track.

Second set of ten days for me. I am finally starting to notice a bit of difference. Clothing isn't as tight. Otherwise I still look pretty fat in the mirror.

But still a loooooong way to go. And I made sugar cookies for the grand daughter and learned that I do not yet and may never have, the willpower to resist freshly baked to perfection cookies. At least I didn't eat a dozen while watching that movie, just two! And I didn't frost them. But I also couldn't resist them the next morning either, so I am going to have to try making smaller batches(so there aren't any after we each have two) or maybe not make them at all. So far I've mostly, sort of, stuck pretty hard to my calories by simply NOT HAVING the super rich foods in the house at all. No chips, no candy, no ice cream, etc. And carrots without ranch aren't so bad.

Anyway. Starting weight for all this was 245.
for round 50 began at 234
My only goals are just to keep LOSING.

Day/Weight/Comment

8/26 - 121.6 Had a lot going on (again). I was able to stick to my plan of no added sugar. Telling myself "I'm done eating" is difficult. The worst time of the day is at night... it seems like once I eat, I continue eating. The "Kitchen is Closed" sign is going to have have a padlock on it! Goal is to live this life for God and to be continually thankful for the life he has given me. I need to take care of this body in the best way I can. Sometimes my mind gets a little obsessed with food and I cave in. Yes, I know what I am supposed to do, but it is so hard and sometimes I give in which creates a spiraling effect.

8/27 - 121.6 – got a nice bike ride in. VERY humid and did the “big” hill!

8/28 – 123 – Did good yesterday and am thinking the weight gain is due to salt. I guess we’ll see tomorrow! Swam 30 minutes this morning, so I’m off to a good start!

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!

In for my 8th 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)
Round 49 End Weight = 151.2 (4.0 lbs lost)
Round 50 End Weight = 149.9 (1.3 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: Anything under 149.0
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in weeks 6-7 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.

8/26 = 149.9 (no change from yesterday) My sleep and nutrition are struggling, those go hand in hand. I've not going enough sleep since Wednesday of last week and my nutrition choices are suffering for it. I haven't been going over calories, just not make the best choices. I plan to grocery shop and do some meal prep today and get this under control. I completed day 35 of my 90 day challenge exercises yesterday, so it is the start of week 6 exercises on the plan today. School starts back here this Thursday and I'm really looking forward to it for selfish reasons. As soon as my daughter gets on the bus, I have time in the mornings before work to be able to get a quick run in or go for a walk. Summers are hard for me getting my runs in because even though she is 12, I can't leave her home alone even for a quick run and my husband is rarely home due to work. Wishing everyone a great start to Round 51!

8/27 = 149.9 (no change from yesterday) This seems to be a pattern the last couple of rounds, sticking at a certain weight for a couple of days at the beginning. No worries here Yesterday was a great exercise day, went for a 2 mile run, a 2 mile walk and did day 36 of 90: Body Squat to Knee Lift Crunch, Inchworms, Side Lunge to Front Lunge, Supermans with Alternating Extensions, Wall Hold Ups, Ninja Side Kicks, & Get Ups. My run felt really strong yesterday, I could feel new strength in my quads when I hit some hills. As a "recovering" distance runner, it has taken a while to settle in to doing these short runs instead but I am re-discovering my love of running in the process. It is much easier to love something that is making your body feel stronger compared to distance running which had evolved into something that was just taking a toll on my body with injuries. "Run often, run long, but never outrun your joy of running."

8/28 = 149.9 (no change from yesterday) So still holding at this number...Yesterday was a rest day in my exercise challenge and I ate closer to maintenance for calories. I am predicting the scale will drop tomorrow Today, I have day 38 of 90 exercises and I plan to get a walk in as well. I also took my measurements this morning. When I 1st started, I was taking these every 5 days, but have dropped to taking every week/week & half. I looked back to my start measurements on 6/14 and WOW! I have lost 5.5 inches on my waist & 6.5 inches on my bust. My measurements have decreased all over but those are the 2 biggest changes. Feeling very inspired now, if you haven't already done this, start now, take your measurements!

8/26 - 276.5 lbs (-.05) lbs Good start again. Had some fajita chicken smothered in garlic butter sauce last night and thought I would hold or gain water. Nice to see neither happened.

8/27 - 276.5 lbs (No Change) Not unexpected after so many days of good losses. Staying under calorie and carb limits. Last round I was well under those limits. Easing up a bit this round but still expecting to reach my goal for round 51.

8/28 - 274.5lbs (-2.0) lbs Well that was a pleasant surprise. I was not expecting that much of a loss but I'll take it. Staying on a routine has been good for my weight loss program. I am leaving tomorrow for a week visit to family in Houston and thats going to make it hard to stay on my routine. I will do the best I can and since after tomorrow I can't weigh in each day till I get back on the fourth I will update how the routine is or is not going. Hang tough everyone. It's getting done!

Round 51 (#15)

I typically don't set goals because I find myself sabotaging them. Stupid, I know, but it's true. Challenge 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
#50: 136.0 - 135.4 = -0.6

8/26: 135.4, late dinner

8/27: 135.4, another late dinner

8/28: 134.6, picnic date with beer, spicy pan fried coconut chicken breast cutlets (Paleo and Keto friendly), roasted gold potatoes, red bell pepper, shallots, rosemary, and a hot Hatch chili (low cal and lower fat), and a salad of spinach, figs, strawberries, tomatoes, and raw almonds tossed with a tart vinaigrette (Paleo and low cal).

I love to cook and find it very rewarding to create dishes that are tasty and fit into most eating plans. My date leans more towards Paleo which is fine with me. The roasted potato dish was 1/3 vegetables and helped round out the meal to prevent overeating.

@kittiesandfarts I never eat back my calories burned for exactly that reason. My daily calorie goal is 200 below maintenance. It's very doable for me, but only if I follow it. Lol

8/27 - 178.4 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 15 Net Carbs. 907 Calories In / 2923 Calories Out. 13,420 total steps. 5.68 total miles. 13/13 (250) fitbit step hours. Intermittent fasted 16:8. Trying to keep a solid foot in the 170’s so I can be confident in reporting the weight into MFP.

8/28 - 177.4 YESTERDAY’S STATS: 13 Net Carbs. 1254 Calories In / 2594 Calories Out. 11,050 total steps. 4.67 total miles. 13/13 (250) fitbit step hours. Intermittent fasted 16:8. I had peanut butter for the 1st time since starting this keto/low carb journey in January. Delish!!!! To stay within my macros, I put it on 90 second keto bread I cut into 3 portions. I kept all my other meals low carb to accommodate. It was pure heaven! The Car show is tonight for the Grand Championship Overall Winner for the summer. I will try to keep my eating reasonable. I’m taking my son and his friend. This single widowed mother has got to fit some “guy” things in for my son. I loved it last time I took him too. This one is the best because all the previous winners come together to find the Champion of Champions. I am going to focus more on fun than food. My son gets way too much screen time (video games) so this will get him out and about too.

@Vanguard1, Have you been eating enough the past few days? I would love to do OMAD, but I have a problem eating enough food in that one meal. The two times I planned OMAD, I did not drop any weight. I have also had three or four days of OMAD unplanned in the past 6 months and I successfully lost weight. I was so hungry that I managed to eat enough food.

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.

Is it possible for me for not post weight everyday? I binned my scales to stop myself from going crazy so weigh in at the gym x

MadisonMolly2017

-68.1 lbs in 970 days, 30 days until my 1,000th day!
(1 lb every 14.2 days on avg)_
-44.8 of them since Sept 27, 2017 (334 days)
(1 lb every 7.5 days on avg.)

* 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.

Round 51:

8/27 160.2 BMI: 24.0 Trend: 160.4 Loss/wk: 1.0 Hiked big hills. No pain during or the next day. Amazing.

Got rid of clothes that are too big for me except some I love & *might* alter.

Went through more of my “thin clothes” & they all fit. Glad I didn’t give up on them. They made it easier to get rid of the things that are too big because they make that very clear. I will wear these until I decide on my final end weight. Then I might get some new items to wear with the others. Closet is *almost* to the point where everything in it is something I love & can wear now, as opposed to when I was heavy (pre-Marie Kondo) when it would take me forever to go through the closet to find one thing that did fit that I could wear. Never. Going. Back.

8/28 161 BMI 24.1 Trend 160.5, Loss/wk 1.90
I’m doing all I should be. This is the nature of the beast. I’m sure it will bounce back down. I could list about 5 possible reasons ... but why bother
I’m still down 5 lbs since the end of July. My best in a year, I’ll take it.

8 lbs in 8 rounds!!
That’s what I do, too!
Gives me more time to practice all these good habits. In this for life!

Congratulations on your amazing weight loss. You’re doing so well & I know you exercise a ton. I’m sure you are recomping.

Are you taking your measurements? As I get closer to GW, the scale moves more slowly & the measurements far more!

Hugs!

@tiabirdie56 - Congratulations on the loose clothes! That's so inspiring that you've gone down in size in just two weeks. (So, what's the word to use for this? If a person "out grows" clothes that are too small, would we "out shrink" clothes that are now too big? )

@MadisonMolly2017 - Congratulations to you too on the closet improvements and having a closet full of clothes that fit that you love. I dream of that day! I love watching your progress and the stats that you track.

@braewe - Oh yes - The power of perfectly baked cookies. So, so hard not to eat them all. You did great only having two and skipping the frosting.

@mthomas0228 - Thanks for the reminder to take measurements. I haven't taken measurements in years and will do it tonight.
