9/15 - 153 - Holding steady, sigh...It may go up tomorrow after the salt I had for dinner tonight.
9/16 - 153 - At least it didn't go up.
9/17 - 153.5 - There's the salt, or the fact that I keep moving my scale due to our bathroom remodel. I double checked my gross calories consumed for the past week and I haven't gone over 1400 calories, in fact I'm usually at 1100 to 1200 a day. I'll just keep riding this out.
9/18 - 152.5 - I'm glad to see this number today. I'm hoping this is the highest number I see for the rest of the week.
9/19 - 152.5 - I picked up some cotton candy grapes from Whole Foods on Sunday and they have been my addiction this week. I know they're higher in sugar and calories than regular grapes, but I've been able to forego my usual little piece of candy after dinner for a half cup of grapes.

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~

9/19 — 133.8 — Early morning weigh in today. Yesterday was the first day in a long time where I really struggled to control my food cravings! I went about 100 calories over my goal, I will try to make up for it today.

Guys, I'm back from my trip! And guess what? I lost 5 pounds! I finally entered the 180's that I had been killing to get into! I didn't even have a scale to weigh myself but just ate carefully. I finally found my scale and weighed myself this morning and I was pleasantly surprised! Want to join for the last 6 days of the challenge to stay on track! Really excited!

R1: Lost 1.7 (SW 196.8 EW 195.1)
R2: Lost 0.7 (SW 195.1 EW 194.4)
R3: Gained 3.7 (SW 194.4 EW 198.1)

Day/Weight/Comment
9/15 - 165.8 (-0.4) - starting second round and second week of Dr. Poon Phase 1 diet
9/16 - 165.2 (-0.6) - making grilled eggplants and zucchini plus green beans with onions and tomatoes today and smoked pulled pork, turkey and duck for this week - still cannot believe I have lost 9 lbs in 9 days WITHOUT FEELING HUNGRY by eating essentially “proteins ‘n greens”. I have a sweet tooth and still I am not hungry. Dr Poon diet is working! Why did I not know about this years ago? A doctor told me about it. Look into it to see if it is a good fit for you right now. (No I am not being sponsored. Yes I was very reserved about trying another diet one I had not heard of that seemed so restrictive.)
9/17 - 165.2 (0) - First day no loss. No surprise though. I reviewed diary & I ate 2x carbs on Sun (goal 30 ate 60! Had a Venti Iced Tea at Starbucks. Plus has dinner very late. On the plus side had no bread, OH- or dessert. Next time water or iced coffee at Starbucks!
9/18 - 165.2 (0)

9/19 - 165.2 (0) Well my tomatoes, roma beans, buratta cheese and Venti iced tea stalled me so yesterday ate healthy and hopefully in a couple of days I will see a change. I learned a valuable lesson. My calories were low but my carbs were high and stalled.

9/15 -- missed, but I'm going to guess it was 126.4.... (I have STALLED OUT at this weight! Hello, scale? Are you still working?? sigh....)

9/16 -- OK -- weighed in this morning and BIG SURPRISE! 126.4.... But I'm only being facetious in my disdain -- I am very happy and THANKFUL to be back in the 120's again (I spent most of the summer in the 130's...) SO...let the losing begin again! I hope to get to 124 by the end of these 10 days.... I'll even take 124.9! Good Sunday everyone!

9/17 -- 126.7 (Yep -- it went up, but it will come down.... at least the scale works!)

9/18 -- 125.9! I'm doing the happy dance again -- ate early last night and went on 10 mile bike ride -- maybe that has something to do with it! lol! (Of course, afterwards, there was Cabernet!)

9/19 -- 125.9 -- meant to go to power yoga class last night, but decided to walk puppy (1 yr. old lab mix -- we "rescued" her in July -- but who rescues who? ) with hubby instead. It was a beautiful long summer night walk. Hopefully will make power yoga tonight -- the changes in my body are amazing me (muscles! abs!) -- this is so worth it everyone!! I often say it took me decades to get here, and I don't know why it did -- but it's SO worth it!

9/15: 215.5 already gone to the gym and now to help my friend move!
9/16: 215.6 had a not so great dinner on the run yesterday. Working at Target this morning and then doing some relaxing because it's my rest day.
9/17: 214.5 had some carbs and fat left over last night so went and got ice cream but apparently that was ok. Hit my StepBet goals for the week, two more weeks to go in this challenge. Went to the gym this morning and did an upper body workout. Now, school and then Target, busy busy!
9/18: 214.5 feeling tired and sore this morning after a super long day yesterday but trying to stay positive. On top of all that I planned to do, I also did 17k steps. Today I was not planning on going to the gym but its raining so a walk after work seems like a bad idea.
9/19: 214.6 This is acceptable since the hubs decided he wanted Chinese food last night. He's starting a diet today in prep for a gastric sleeve later in the year and he wanted his last meal to be gluttonous. Wednesdays are usually my cheat day but a shift this week is fine especially since I hit the gym this morning before work. Wednesday, here I come!

This round I begin a dietitian-designed 6-8 week anti-inflammation elimination diet (a bit tighter than what I've been doing the past month) with hopes of getting past these aches & pains without taking drugs. I'm feeling hopeful!

Goals:
Food ~~ Follow anti-inflammation elimination diet - learn new food tricks!
Exercise ~~ rebuild to 60-90 minutes/day of walking/swimming; restart weight training & yoga when joint pain subsides.
Weight ~~ [Edit 9/16] == 2018: maintain at 140 (or slightly lower)

I'm hoping to get a nice long walk in this morning, and some gardening this afternoon. Have a great weekend, all!

09/16 - 140
Yeah, baby! Now to stay here (or a little lower)! I intend to slowly add calories to maintenance level - slowly to figure out what that actually is. Wow - I've been on the loser track for so long (3.75 years) that arriving doesn't feel real!

09/17 - 139.8
I don't feel particularly deprived so far on this elimination diet, but I do struggle to get enough calories (never thought I'd say that 3 years ago!!!!). I need to work on that - running much too low. But all the veggies really fill me up!

09/18 - 140
So far, so good. I'm still finding it a challenge to get enough calories on this elimination diet, but I need to make an effort to increase slowly. Too low is too low. Otherwise, it's fine, and nice to be at goal. This has been a 3.75-year journey, so keep the faith!!!

09/19 - 139.2
Since I'm losing on this elimination diet (yes to lots of veggies, moderate fruits, fish, gluten-free oatmeal, nuts, seeds...!), I've decided to just go with it. My real ultimate goal has long been ~130, but I stagnated in the low 150s for so long I decided to just aim for 140. But I'm losing steadily on this scheme, so... No goal, just eating and tracking and definitely not gaining.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
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!
