Round 53 (My 7th round)
9/15 157.5 Today is my 60th day on MFP. I am so happy that I took this step to a healthier me, and haven't given up even though I am still fairly new. I now weigh less than my husband. (He is only a couple of inches taller than me). I know weight is only a number, and us women have the "goodies" men don't lol but it was a constant bother to me. I'm not even sure why because he's not a big guy at all. He's always loved me the way I am, but I never dared tell him my weight before. Anyways, hope its a wonderful round for you all ❤
9/16 157.5 I need to get my sweet tooth back under control. Made cookies and told myself I was just gonna have 1. That did not happen so I just used cookies as my dinner lol.
9/17 157 the scale was bouncing between 155 and 157, I'll go with 157 for now because I didn't make the best food choices yesterday. Happy to see a loss though! Goal for today is to resist mall sweets and foods, my sis in law and I are having a girls day. I know we will be going out for lunch too.
9/18 157 happy to see this number again . Still not making the best food choices but staying in calorie range. Today already started off bad, my Grandma bought me Mcdonalds.
9/19 156.5 I didn't let my breakfast ruin my whole day yesterday. Had a smoothie for dinner 🙂. Thinking I may change my ultimate goal to 130-135 instead of 140. Maybe. Going to see how the next couple rounds go.

9/15--157.8 staying steady at this weight. This is definitely a lot later than I usually post but I did weigh myself this morning just wasn't able to post till now (even if in a short amount of time I will have to re weigh in) good day yesterday. 90 min of work out, ate fairly well and got 1.6 liters of water in. Here is to a great start!!!

9/16-- 157 once again late post but once again I weighed in this morning. Was super excited to see this but I know it's only for the day. Yesterday I worked out like crazy but unfortunately didn't eat or sleep much, (about 4 hours) only having a little over a liter of water. Today I ate well but it was my last day house/dog sitting and when my friends came home they took us out for pizza. I haven't had pizza for a long time and apparently I was super hungry because I ate 3 slices 😣😣😣 I have never ate so much in my life, so this will definitely show on the scale in the morning. I haven't sabotaged myself in a while....but here we are again.

9/17-- 158.6 and here it is... that dreaded pizza. It's ok though, I am being patient, i know I can take it off and keep it off. It's a new day!!!

9/18 158.6 although I was a little upset by this I have managed to think up a couple of reasons why I am still here. 1. I haven't been getting enough sleep the past couple of days. 2. I need to up my hydration. 3. Breakfast, always seem to do better the days I eat early. 4. Sodium was a little high yesterday and 5. That dreaded pizza still has a hold. I exercised yesterday (a 10 mile bike ride and workout with my mom) even though it was supposed to be my rest day i am secretly happy about the bike ride. I have a stationary bike but I forgot how amazing it is to ride the real thing, might make it a thing before winter hits. Drank 1 liter of water and stayed under my calories..but like I said it was a higher sodium day then usual. Back at it again today!!

9/19 158.4 slow and steady is my pace lol Yesterday was dinner at the in laws and omg the amount of food I ate. Holy cow!! Was worse then pizza night. I was so hungry, don't remember the last time I ate so much. On the bright side, although I ate a crazy amount of calories, fat, sodium etc. When I got home I decided the negative number in my daily was not acceptable so I went for a bike ride and did some exercising. I managed to squeak a +3 calorie wise, and drop a significant amount grams from my carbs and fat. I will take it!!! This week I have already had 2 cheat meals, which is way above my usual but my NSV is I still exercised both times. I hope to continue this effort of exercising on cheat meal days or sticking to my goals on exercise rest days😁😁 As for the rest of the week, I have no more plans that might sabotage me so I all ready to re-re- work lol

I looked at these old methods, and they are rudimentary, to say the least. They take no account of age or build. They categorise most athletes as obese. Newer methods have now been developed which give a truer representation of where you are on the spectrum. Body fat and muscle percentages are a more modern way of determining the health of your body.

@TerriRichardson112, Welcome back! You are entitled to your opinion. I think all calculators fall short in accuracy of measuring body fat and muscle. Age and build don't matter with waist/height and waist/hip measurements. The accurate way I know of is to have a total body composition test using Dexa Technology. That can't be done on a whim. You have to pay in money and travel time as it is not convenient or available everywhere. Your entire body is exposed to radiation, through Xray. The calculators are just tools and personally, I find them a quite useful measure during my weight loss journey. They give me a little more information than just using the scale.

@SheilaBoneham and @cdavisdeva, Yes! Go for it! My ultimate goal is 135.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/15 149.6 Went for a morning walk then planted myself on the couch. Feeling better but still a little low energy and scratchy throat. Feeling pretty good with my body, starting to read the maintenance boards and the concensus seems to be that maintenance is a series of small, 5 lb yoyo's to keep yourself in check. In my past, maintenance has been the hard part. As I am nearing my goal I am thinking more and more about how I want to live this second half of my life, and it's all about getting rid of the baggage I've carried, in my mind and on my bod. I don't know if I have another 50 years or 50 days or 50 hours, but I intend to take care of this body just in case!
9/16 151.6 Thankfully due to this challenge I know I didn't gain 2 lbs of fat overnight. I went to Mexican food yesterday and totally enjoyed my taco, rice, beans and some chips. Though the quantity was small, this was the real authentic stuff, cooked with manteca and oh so worth it! I expect this to disappear within the next 2 days. Super hydration and low carb is the plan today, as well as a hilly walk with my pups. I increased my daily calories from 1200 to 1400 and my goal is to STAY within this window for the rest of this challenge. Have a great Sunday everyone!
9/17 WEIGH IN DAY 149.8 Got rid of most of the bloat thanks to lemon/cucumber water! Yesterday was pretty uneventful, didn't end up going on a walk, instead chilled and did stuff around the house. Hard to do sometimes but I am learning. I have been a go go go person for so much of my life, and now have reached a place where I don't have to work, but I can if I want. Having to learn to be ok not being busybusy is sometimes difficult. The pup helps, as well as my 16yo son who still needs my presence. Today walking the hill with DH and pups, this hill used to be partially in the "red zone" heart rate for me, but now sticks in fat burning, though I am not charging it as much on the uphill so as not to leave hubby in the dust, but still a success. I am waiting for him to catch up so we can do it twice instead of once and done.
9/18 149.6 Good day, morning walk, went to work for a couple of hours and felt accomplished. Made chicken wings and french bread pizza for dinner, a fun break from the usual protein/veggie/carb balanced meals that I make for the family. Logged my food and stayed in the green! Hubby is slowly but surely getting on board, which makes me so happy. He suggested we walk the dogs TWICE a day on the hill instead of once, or add the bike ride in as well. I am all for it since I had pulled back for him to catch up, and it feels so good to be active together!

9/19 150.4 Staying in the green so far with this new increased calorie alottment from 1200 where I was over every day to 1400 now, however I have eased up on the carbs so will need to be conscious of that...but I am reminded it is a lifestyle. Really trying to break out of the diet mentality that I started this journey with as I near my goal. Being okay with a slower loss and incorporating foods that I was eliminating in moderation. Last night was the first good nights sleep I had in a long while. For the past several months I have felt my sleep is very restless, waking up at 4-5 am wide awake and unable to go back to sleep. I go to bed early, so I know it may just be that my body has had enough, but its the waking up throughout the night that leaves me feeling like I didn't sleep well. Walking the hill with my pups and DH then off on a mountain bike ride while my youngest son is at work, so I should get nice and physically tired today!

9/15--179.8 I guess Disneyland caught up to me! I'm in the process of getting back on track and breaking the carb cycle. Once I start eating a lot of carbs like I did while traveling, I end up eating more and more, and my calories go higher and higher.
9/16--Whoops, I forgot to log in. Maybe I was in denial
9/17--177.8
9/18--178.4
9/19--177.8 I weighed in before I worked out at 177.8 and after I worked out at 178.2; I'm keeping the lower number!

I am going to pipe in on the holy trinity, it was good to think about these three, thanks team!

Diet
My plan is to stay aware. To eat what I want, but consciously. This means no sneaking, hiding, secret eating. No baking "for the kids" then binging on it. I will bake, but admit it's for me if it is, and be sure to be honest with myself. I plan to continue the daily weighing of myself and using happyscale. My maintenance goal is to continue logging my food for a year once I reach my goal weight. (maintain for a year).

Mentality
This is the first time I have lost weight and not announced my progress to my family, it has really helped to be able to log it here with you all and get the likes and hugs. I guess I am still looking for outside approval, but I consider it a win that I am not seeking it from my family. I have a mindset of leading by example instead of the usual preaching, and so far I am getting some followers here at home! "if you think you are leading and no one is following, you are just taking a walk" Really understanding more and more about my body and the way it reacts to what I put into it. Gratitude is helping me, and loving the body I have, "imperfections" and all. Letting go of the need for perfection, and rolling with the ups and downs both on the scale and with my emotions.

Exercise
Not exercising is working. Doing what I love is working. Mountain biking, walking my dogs, hills... and the fitbit has REALLY pushed me to move more. I love to compete with myself and get more and more steps/floors/miles in than the week before.

@denswrex LOVE your quote - "if you think you are leading and no one is following, you are just taking a walk"

When I started this keto journey I didn’t say much to people, just quietly turned down the carbs and walked the path alone. People in our community have noticed my weight loss and ask what I have been doing. Several have joined the low carb parade and are also succeeding. I didn’t intend to be a leader but maybe I am.

I am a 50 year old 5'4" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. On the other hand when I look at the big picture and the averages it has been a consistent loss except for one round.

9/16 - 185.8 - late night, adult beverages, Olive Garden and a surprise birthday party. I’ll take it because I enjoyed every second of it!
9/17 - 182.3 Not too bad. I was expecting a higher number this morning.
9/18 - 186.0 - Three days of carbs and high sodium. I know this is temporary
9/19 - 185.4 - Ate better yesterday but still not 100% what I need to be doing.

Well i'm not computer savy don't know how to copy and paste.
But I started at 206 at the beginning of what they called round 52
I gained a lot and didn't know the why Well sort of I was constipated.
This morning scale down the 3 lbs I couldn't account for. I'll accept .6
But not 4 lbs. in a day and still doing good.
Tops tonight. Right now showing a loss See what tonight brings.

I’m 59, female, mostly plant based, and lover of outdoors. This is my third round; the first one really kept me accountable, the second one was an eye-opener. What I have learned is that my foods and the amounts really do matter. My tracking needs to be accurate and if I eat it, it needs to be tracked. This round’s goals: no eating after supper, no trigger foods and to stay up-to-date with my Bible study. Honor God with my food choices!

R51 SW: 121.6 – EW: 122.4 – Avg weight over 10 days: 122.4
R52 SW: 120.6 – EW: 124.4
R53 SW: 126. 😩

Day/Weight/Comment
9/15/18 / 126 / my late night binge eating has to stop.
9/16/18 / 121.4 / stayed on the plan and even accommodated a night out! I am determined to do this.
9/17/18 / 120.4 / biked yesterday afternoon. It’s warm here, so much so that I (one who actually likes hot weather!) wish it would cool down to a “normal” September temp! It’s supposed to be warmer today, so my planned bike ride may turn into something else!
9/18/18 / 119.2 / Biked & water aerobics. Love being in the water after a workout! I think my starting weight may have been water… it makes no sense, but I’ll take it! Apparently eating on plan not eating after supper make a HUGE difference!
9/19/18 / 121 / Biking yesterday was canceled due to rain. I was tired, actually achy in my legs so I did a long walk. Calories were slightly up, but not enough to make the weight gain of 1.8. Just life, I guess! Plodding on!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/15 (Out of town - no scale) Just got back home and did step on the scale (145.3) - super late time of day for me to weigh-in and had had things to eat/drink before so not too bad of an uptick after factoring those things in. My end weight for Round 52 was not really an accurate number since it was caused by a stomach bug. Looking forward to weighing in tomorrow and having a more "real" number to see where I am on the scale. My daughter and I had a great time together at the concert last night. So glad I was able to feel better in time for that!

9/16 = 143.5 Back weighing in a normal time, down .2 from Friday morning's weigh-in. Today will be super busy, we're having people over tonight, so lots to do. Planing on OMAD today to not go over calories with the dinner party food/drinks.

9/17 = 143.3 (down .2 from yesterday) So nice to be able to lose weight after a night off from logging my food. I enjoyed dinner last night, it was delicious but also super healthy & vegetarian. There were likely too many adult beverages though, need a lot of water today to re-hydrate. I completed the day 56 of 90 exercises yesterday, so today is the start of week 9 of my workout plan. After finishing this week's workouts, I'll be in the final month of the plan, Yay!

9/18 = 144.6 (up 1.3 from yesterday) Just another day with weird scale fluctuations Although more likely the delayed results from Sunday's dinner party. No worries here, it will come down within a day or 2. I moved my rest day to yesterday as my legs were feeling super tired from the weekend's workouts but so ready to get back to sweating a good workout today. In really good news, my treadmill has been stuck on the highest incline (basically unusable) for the past several months, which has not been too big of an issue because I really only love running outside and only use the treadmill when I have no other choice. We tried to fix it before by re-calibrating it without any luck but yesterday my husband found a reset switch on the underneath and it worked! Happy to have this back in business, I'll still keep my runs outside but it's nice to be able to do harder interval training on the treadmill and to get in some walks as well. Have a great day everyone!

9/19 =144.6 (no change from yesterday) So, settling in at this number, which I think is an accurate representation of where I should be. I think the big dips down into the 143's were effects of the stomach bug last week. Yesterday was a great exercise day but I give myself a "D" for nutrition. I would grade it an "F", except I did manage to stay withing my calorie range, so that's something. But these were all empty calories. Some days the body just wants junk, the good thing is those days happen less and less frequently. I'm back on track today with my nutrition, my body is craving a green smoothie (the norm) not potato chips like yesterday. Today, I have the day 59 of 90 workout and this one is a hard one! "Losing weight is hard, being fat is hard. Pick your hard!"

Round 53
Round 4 for me. Major roller coaster but the pounds are coming off. Here's to continued success.

69 YO Texas Male
Highest Weight 290
Round 50 EW 277 (-13 lbs)
Round 51 EW 284 (+7 lbs)
Round 52 EW 271 (-13 lbs)

Final Goal 190

Goal this Round (269)

9/15 No Scale
9/16 No Scale
9/17 No Scale
9/18 -279lbs (+9 lbs) Returned from four days camping so no scale to weigh and of course went off track and gained on carb overload. Not too concerned as I know 90% of this is water weight gain and I still expect to reach my goal this round of 2 lbs loss. Fasting today.

9/19 -277lbs (-2 lbs) Dropping again. A little slow first day but not unexpected. I didn't drink enough fluid to cleanse things out but today I will do better. Hope to see a larger fluid drop tomorrow but still have time to make my challenge goal. Just have to stay on track and not take any breaks from the routine. I have a hard time when it comes to taking a “day off” and then getting back on. It seems to wind up being 2,3,4 or more “days off” and thats not good. Clothes have gotten loose and took in another notch in the belt. That's ALWAYS a good incentive to stay with it.l

Day/Weight/Comment

9/15 – 180.0 Hello everyone! As I get nearer to my weight loss goals I am transitioning this round to 20-50 net carbs per day with the intent of staying in a fat burning mode. I am keeping my calorie goal the same which is 1277. My original goals when I started my journey in January 2018 was to lose 8-10 pounds per month . My newest goals are to lose 1.5 pounds per week, 6 pounds per month. I am carrying a bit of water weight from a travel day earlier this week. However, at my general weight I am 30 pounds from my complete goal weight with approx 60 pounds lost. My ticker will reflect this when I shed the water back off. Yesterday I stayed within calorie goal but went quite a bit over on my carb goal. As my business slows down I find I am walking a lot less and will have to build in more planned exercise and intentional walking. In the end, my hope is to reach 145 pounds by Valentine’s Day. I am building in an 8 pound cushion as I expect to gain a bit of water weight when transitioning to higher carbs and calories. My final goal would be to weigh about 153. I then intend to keep my carbs and calories in a maintenance level to help keep my T2D in control or in remission. I would love to hear everyone’s exact plan for their weight loss and fitness goals as we go along. I know a lot of great ideas may come of these readings. Good luck everyone on this round!

9/16 - 178.8

9/17 - 179.4 Ugg. September is not going well for me at all. I’m caving in to my weaknesses. Today is an administrative day so there will not be much movement. I work at home so the days can be long and today will be all sitting. That won’t help matters.

9/18 - No weigh. Out of town.

9/19 - 178.6 Off plan for out of town excursion yesterday (again). As you can see above, my weight has been going back & forth due to extra travel this round. However, yesterday I worked extra hard to get in 5.5 miles of walking and over 13,000 steps. I burned nearly 2,900 calories. Much of this was done during the excursion to offset the restaurants and the long car rides. I can’t always do that, but was able to implement this damage control so I am very pleased. My goal is to be at 177.0 for this round. Maybe I can still reach this. Every challenge round involves some travel for me. I am over an hour's drive from any grocery shopping. Even further for all the doctors and hospital diagnostics. I also am an independent business owner and do quite a bit of travel for that. This continues to be my biggest challenge but I will never stop working on solutions that work for me. Unless some work emergency comes up (that is pretty frequent) and I have to travel again for places like Home Depot, Lowes or Menards, my travel is complete for this round. Just social engagements ugg. Hope…Hope….Hope.....

12th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
I was away on holidays for the last round. Did not gain anything : smile Now that we’re back for the winter, I want to get in the routine of going to the gym and planning meals. I’m hoping that will kick up the loss and I can make it under 150 by Christmas.

Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2
Round 40 – on holidays, gain +1.6
Round 41 – SW 164.4, loss -2
Round 42 - SW: 162.6, loss -.6
Round 43 – SW 162, loss -.4
Round 44 – SW 161.6, loss -1.6
Round 45 – SW 160.8, gain +1
Round 46 – SW 161.8, gain +.6
Round 47 – SW 162.4, loss -2.2
Round 48 – SW 160.2, missed most of this round and Round 49 as I was away without computer or scale.
Round 50 – SW 160.2, loss -.8
Round 51 – SW 160.8, loss -1
Round 52 – on holidays, no scale

Round 53 – SW 159.8, goal this round – under 159
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128

Day/Weight/Comment
9/15, Saturday – 159.8 Just got home on Thurs. so am still tired. Yesterday spent most of it catching up online – so bad for snacking. Today want to hit some bigger projects (a little canning, yard work) but still get in a nap. I find I can lose a whole week to tiredness after a trip – mindless eating and getting nothing done. Often I’ve maintained weight or lost on the trip but gain the first week back. Determined not to do that this time.
9/16 , Sunday – 159.2
9/17, Monday – 159.8 Ugh, Sundays our meals are always erratic so I feel like I haven’t eaten much but if I count it up I’m usually way over. Today it’s back to the winter routine with ladies’ a cappella group this evening. Usually I try to houseclean on Mondays but today the guy is here installing a new furnace so if it gets chilly I’m going shopping
9/18, Tuesday – 159.6
9/19, Wednesday – 159 I don’t feel like I deserve this but will take it. Got a Zap My Cravings email from Shrink Yourself last night and it stopped me in my tracks – so only had dessert not snacking all evening. I did Shrink Yourself for about 6 months a number of years ago. That is where I learned that you have two kinds of hunger – physical hunger and emotional hunger – and how to tell the difference. Of course the cravings come from emotional hunger. So the Zap My Cravings is going through a set of questions that help you realize what the real source of your craving is. I think I got the email because I was cleaning out old stuff and revisited their site a few months ago. I just might do it again. The emotional eating is always what does in my progress.

@abowersgirl - My daughter told me about cotton candy grapes last year. They are usually only available for about a month per year - late August through mid September. This year they had an early crop and I was able to snag a bag in June. They are sweeter than a regular grape and definitely have a cotton candy taste. They are so popular, I'm sure when I walk to Whole Foods this Sunday they will all be gone.

09/16 177.6 That's fine I expected a bounce, and I was thirsty all day yesterday so that big drop may have been partly dehydration. A workout and 2 walks yesterday - so it was a good day.

09/18 179 mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
09/19 179.8 another day of not enough sleep and too many carbs. Getting back on track today - I do not want to see the 180's again.

9/15 Saturday- 192.2 (+0.2)

9/16 Sunday- 192.3 (+0.1)

9/17 Monday- 192.3 (no change) I need to reign in my weekends. I am up 0.3 since Friday which isn't terrible but I need to do better. Time to kick it in high gear. I am going to Hawaii in 18 days. If I can get solidly below 190, I will be HAPPY. But I need to double up my efforts!

9/18 Tuesday- 190.4 (-1.9) This number has got to be wrong. The batteries on my scale were running low so I changed them last night and now my weight is much lower. I did weigh like 5 times this morning but I still do not believe it. Will see what tomorrow holds. I did have a NSV today though. I tried on pants that I stopped wearing because they were too tight and they fit this morning! So I can see the progress being made

9/19 Wednesday- 189.7 (-0.7) Well OK then, the number is still down below where I expect. I am still not believing it though. Yesterday was good with calories but I need to do a better job on my protein intake.
