FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

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!

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 and not eating after supper make a HUGE difference!

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.

@tiabirdie56 Tish, you could be right about the electrolytes. I didn’t take any potassium or magnesium for at least 4 days after we got home - about the time I came down with this cold not that I think they have anything to do with the cold, just that I didn’t feel well and didn’t get them out. I did restart them on Friday. I also got more Powerade Zero.

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.

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

9/15 — 134.2 — I had a feeling this would happen once I got some sleep! Happy weekend everyone 😊

9/16 — 133.8— Super busy day yesterday, so I had a late dinner.. wasn’t expecting a loss, but I’ll take it of course. Going out to eat later so I can watch the patriots game and my hunny can watch his 49ers game.. will practice self discipline and pick out something healthy(ish) to eat! 🏈🏈🏈

9/17 — 134.6 — Umm.. yikes! I thought I did really good when I went out to eat yesterday, staying under calories and I drank SO much water.. this is possibly salt, I hope! We’ll see.. 🤞🏼

9/18 — 133.2 — Well that’s a relief! Darn salt givin’ me a heart attack 😝 It’s my day off today, but have a test tomorrow so will be studying all day. Oh yeah and I lost my fantasy football game last night.. 😢 oh well~

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!
