🍁Day/Weight/Comment🍁
10/5 175.8 - I went to a family gathering last night and food was potluck style and I chose the healthiest I could and I did have a piece of fudge too. 🙂
10/06 178.2 - Oh wow. So TOM has started. And I over ate last night. I was tired and I realized I was snacking because I was tired, but I still did it. Today, I'll stay on track.
10/07 176.4 - Whew! Yesterday was a good day. I was a little under on calories and I was under on my step goal. I did do some resting yesterday which was nice and we took a family trip out to a pumpkin patch. Overall it was a nice day! Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends!
10/08 177.2 - Hmmm...🤔 water retention? I didn't really do any exercise over the weekend, so I want to get back on track with that. Have a great day friends!
10/09 177.6 - Wrong way! I don't understand. I was under on calories and I went for a walk yesterday. Work was crazy yesterday, so maybe stress? My period is pretty much over, so I'm not sure what's happening. Will stay on track and hopefully things are better tomorrow!
10/10 176.8 I came to a realization yesterday after dealing with some IBS issues for most of the day. I've gotten a little away from paleo eating. Not that I feel that I have been eating anything "bad." Just not necessarily what feels good for my body. And I'd forgotten that I'd decided to try raising my carbs just as an experiment. It's probably been a good week or two and I think I need to lower them a little. It's all just an experiment and I'll see how my body responds!
10/11 177.4 - I'm not quite sure what's happening here. I was under on calories and I went for a short walk and I had lots of water yesterday. So the good thing is that I did make good choices. I just wish the scale was reflecting that. It will, I just need to be patient.

10/10 267.6 (-0.2) was fearful that it would go back up some so this was nice to see. Our cat died during the night. She was the last of the menagerie. When we got married, I had 1 cat and my husband moved in with a dog, 2 cats, 3 soft furred African rats, and fish. Now as my 4 year old put it this AM, the only pets we have left are fish. Lots of tears at my house this morning.
So sorry to hear this. Loosing a pet is always so hard. 😭😭 I have had a dog or a cat or both throughout my whole life and everytime they had passed I would always say "no more animals, it's just too hard" but then end up caving and getting another one. So I definitley know what you are going through it's awful and completely sucks. I'm sending good wishes your way.
@mthomas0228 we all have those moments where the calories get away from us but the win is you didnt stop tracking and you are not giving up after this blimp. You are getting right back on the horse. Great job!! Oh and Btw I love this saying
"Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you". Every so often you post a quote and it hits me hard enough to remember. Im going to have to start an excel sheet on my tablet for all them. Call it my daily affirmations lmao4 -
Maybe this is the time i'll get serious? . Im starting in late this round- goal is to finish this round, and to finish weighing less.
10/8-
10/9- 198.0 - 5 am post workout this am. had an intense leg workout yesterday
10/10- 195.0 5am post workout. Ate well yesterday but ended up having a snack attack late last night. I was still under calories (7 under lol). workout 3/5 for this week complete
10/11- 193.2 5am post workout. losing quite a bit of water weight, I am happy to see this. TOM just started and I can easily hold on to 10ish pounds of water plus all the drinking and eating out I did last week while traveling. 4/5 workouts complete for this week. Was under calories yesterday, im slowing experimenting with KETO, not sure if I can commit to it.9 -

Round 55
10/05: 269.6 (-0.8) Yay! So happy to see that 2nd digit go down, now to keep it there for the rest of this round. 1223 calories, 104g protein, 56oz water
10/06: 269.8 (+0.2) Went to my parents and swam laps and did water aerobics. I actually enjoy doing this, why don't I do it more often??? 1267 calories, 100g protein, 52oz water
10/07 269.4 (-0.4) Had a really big lunch out, not really bad stuff (cobb salad, small piece of cauliflower crust pizza & 3 wings) but not great either and more than I've been eating. Not certain about the calories - just had to pick what I thought off the MFP food log. So just had Special K protein water & and a small pkg pumpkin seeds for dinner 1566 calories, 118g protein, 54oz water
10/08 269.4 (no change) glad to it didn't go up! 1375 calories, 115g protein, 69oz water
10/09 267.8 (-1.6) this was a nice surprise to see! My free trial & trainer month at the other gym is up so I went to the YMCA. Trying to apply what I learned at the other gym but the machines are somewhat different. But I'm trying and that is a step in the right direction for me. Worked arms + rode bike for 30 min. 1215 calories, 65g protein, 71oz water
10/10 267.6 (-0.2) was fearful that it would go back up some so this was nice to see. Our cat died during the night. She was the last of the menagerie. When we got married, I had 1 cat and my husband moved in with a dog, 2 cats, 3 soft furred African rats, and fish. Now as my 4 year old put it this AM, the only pets we have left are fish. Lots of tears at my house this morning. Had originally planned to go to the gym after work, but had a burial and just needed the time with my family. 1256 calories, 108g protein, 52oz water
10/11 268.6 (+1.0) not happy with the number but it's still down from the beginning of the round. So long as I keep at it, it will come back down. Working from home and have to take the 18mo old to doctor today. I have a harder time drinking enough water when I'm at home so that is going to be my big push today.

10/4 - 271 lbs Here we are again. I've seen this number too many times lately. Time to let it go!
10/5 – 269 lbs (-2 lbs) Well there ya go. Hit my goal from challenge we just finished. Missed it by one day! Well I'll reset my goal for this round to 267. I'm looking to average 2 lbs a week. It's a reasonable goal and I know there will be challenge rounds that I miss my target. I will look to my 30 day trend to see my overall progress. I get inspiration from all of you here who are going through the same ups and downs but are sticking with it. Have a great weekend everyone!
10/6 – 269lbs (No Change) Not unexpected after the quick drop yesterday. Still on track food wise. Been having lots of salads for dinner and got off peanuts and on to grapes for snack. Will see if that works out better. Much less salt but more sugar. Oh well its a process.. Change is good anyhow.
10/7 – 270lbs (+1lb) Fluid gain hopefully.
10/8 – 272lbs (+2lbs) Well this is discouraging. It's the pitfall of weighing in every day.
10/9 – 269lbs (-3lbs) There ya go! I sure know how to retain and lose fluid. Back on track and heading out of town again for five days which will once again play havoc with my routine. No scale then either unless there's one at the hotel. I will keep checking in to keep myself accountable.
10/10 No Scale Staying on track and avoiding all the pitfalls of being out of town.
10/11 No Scale These hotel breakfast buffets are quite the temptation. Feel good though about staying with my protein eggs and bacon with lots of hot sauce. Spices make up for a lot of things. I'm just glad I can tolerate them. Finally found a Subway nearby to get my dinner salads. That has become a real winner for me. My owne Zero calorie dressing and lots of fiber bulk. Takes me 30-45 minutes to finish it and its almost no calories. It gets me over the evening munchies for the most part too.

Round 54 End Weight = 142.0 (1.1 lbs lost)
Stats = 5'4 female, age 48
Highest Weight = 172 lbs (June 18, 2018)
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)
Round 55 Goal: 140.0 or Under
Exercise Plan = Had to pause the Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge on Day 68 due to sprained ankle, still in recovery mode and just practicing yoga during this round to hopefully get back to my workout program by Round 56.
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.
10/5 = 142.0 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday, I was on my feet too much and felt it in my ankle by the end of the night, will try to stay off it more today and ice. I'm going to alternate yoga every other day for this round, trying to strengthen my ankle. This round I'll also focus more on my nutrition, which has been slacking. There has been more and more gluten making its way back into my food choices and I just feel better when I limit these types of foods. I'll tighten back up on my alcohol consumption as well, limiting to 1-2 times/week. "Tough times don't last; tough people do."
10/6 = 142.0 (no change from yesterday) Took yesterday as another rest day, ankle improving with the pain now down to dull ache and able to bear full weight. Yesterday was the perfect running weather, so hard to be stuck inside not able to get some miles in. I really want to be able to run (as well as get back to my workouts) while it is still fall before it gets so cold. I'll still run outside in winter, but just love fall running the most. Today, I'm going to do some yoga and then need to do some menu planning and meal prep. If I am going to lose any real weight this round, it will be because of the food choices I make. Need to make sure I'm set-up for success. Have a great weekend everyone!
10/7 = No Weigh In. I had a nice Sunday morning sleep-in and then before I could weigh-in was called to cooked breakfast for my daughter. I had promised her French toast as we had some really nice bread left over from earlier in the week. This was only for her, I am not tempted by this at all as consuming gluten makes me feel horrible. I picked my 90 day challenge workouts back up and completed day 69 of 90. I had to modify and take out the jumping parts and wore the ankle brace for extra support. I dropped each move down from 1 minute each to 30 seconds, still 3 rounds. I got through this fine, no noticeably ankle pain!
10/8 = 142.0 (no change) Probably not making my goal this round of being under 140. But it will come in time, just trying to get back into the swing of things with my workouts. Hopefully, now that I am able to get a good sweaty workout in again, I will be able to recommit to the healthy eating habits I had been practicing. I'm discouraged to know that this ankle set-back led to some self-sabotage eating, I had hoped I was beyond that. But knowledge is power, so I will stay strong and get back on track.
10/9 = No Weigh in
10/10 = 146.7 (up 4.7 lbs) Ow! That hurts just typing it. Two back to back days of making really poor choices and that is was the scale will bring you. I deserve this number. Monday went off the rails at lunch, when I got into pasta leftovers, which I should not be eating anyway due to gluten intolerance, much less in the serving size I had. Then we went to the movies where I had popcorn and a sugary cocktail, out to dinner where I had a dairy heavy soup, home to watch the Redskins lose on Monday night football where there were snacks and wine consumed. I logged it as a little over 3,000 calories. Then yesterday morning I avoided the scale (bad sign), and had normal calories all day but then lost it and more than doubled my calories with wine and snacks after dinner, came in over 2,400 calories. WTF??? I'm not stressed, there is no real reason for this binge but I feel it has been building for a bit. Spraining my ankle didn't help but I think this was coming even before that. I'd gotten a little complacent with my logging, calories, and food choices once I got under 145 lbs because I was so happy to not be "technically" fat anymore that I wasn't as diligent as I need to be. But no excuses, I made these choices. I now need to make a new choice, to refuse to sabotage all the hard work is has taken me to lose what was a 30lb loss. New day, a new re-confirmed commitment to myself and this process. "Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you".
10/11 = 145.5 (down 1.2 from yesterday, still up 3.5 lbs) Reigned it in a bit yesterday, still not 100% back on track. I had a typical breakfast but by the time for lunch, I was off track & "snacked" instead of having my normal green smoothie. But I logged it and was right at my calorie max, so I called it a day and didn't have anything more to eat. So while not the most nutritious day, was not over calories. Baby steps
I drank lots of water yesterday to help flush out some of the junk food bloat and was able to get back to my 90 day challenge workouts. Day 70 completed yesterday: Jump Squat Cross Cross, Push Up Jacks, Crescent Kicks, 1-2 Punch (right leg, then left), One Arm Burpees, Spinal Balance, Single Leg Balance Lifts, Donkey Calf Raises, & V-Sit Straight Leg Circles. 3 Rounds but I've dropped each move from 1 minute each to 30 seconds to take it easy on my ankle. Still modifying some moves to be a little less intense but was able to do the jumping moves, albeit gingerly, at least pain free.

I seem to have hit a new hover point. That's fine. One of these days something will change and I'll drop a little more. It's going to be in the high 80s today (again) and low 80s tomorrow, and then drop to the more Octobery 50s, and I'm planning lots of walks and hopefully a hike or two now that I feel a bit better. I love October!

I had a great walk yesterday morning on the "Indiana Native Trees Path" along the St. Joseph River.
10/11 - 137 - 1205 - 10-day average 1223
Last night I went to a potluck and there was nothing I could eat with my restricted diet - I had been hoping for some veggies at least. And even what I took was off my list - I had planned to make something I could eat, but spent the afternoon at the vet's office getting an ultrasound for my dog, and ended up just grabbing some lemon muffins at the bakery. But the hostess graciously pulled a leftover roast chicken out of the fridge, so I had chicken and an apple. Perfect! I can't say I was even tempted by all the great looking food - I've stuck to this elimination diet for almost 4 weeks and have 2 more to go before I start adding things back to test them, and I wasn't going to blow those 4 weeks for a few minutes of pleasure! Now I'm waiting for the ultrasound evaluation by the radiologist.

Day/Weight/Comment
🎀10/5 - 180.2 - My carb grams have been much higher in the past week. Yesterday the carbs were wheat flour in the form of Texas toast croutons (10) and pumpkin tortilla chips (12) They were good and crunchy, just what I needed. 😁 But what springboarded (Is that an actual word? Today it is because I'm tired) me back to 180 was not enough sleep. Making the flowers for the wall has me keeping very late hours and I've been averaging 4 hrs of sleep every night this week. Today, I finish up the flowers and assemble the boards for the wall. Every part of this project is a PROJECT. I'll take a break tonight and tomorrow, then get back to it Saturday evening and Sunday. I want it to be ready for transport on Wednesday.
🎀10/6 - 179.2
🎀10/7 - 180.2 - Not enough sleep and a really high carb day that was not vegetables. It's all good, be over soon.
🎀10/8 - 181.4 - Absolutely carbs
🎀10/9 - 181.8 - Good thing my fortitude is a lot stronger than 3lbs of fluid! Another high carb/calorie day. Today may be the same. Yesterday, I was rested, this morning, very tired, as if I had a strenuous workout.
🎀10/10 - 181.2 - Very late night quick "meal" early weigh in after 4 hrs of sleep. My friend and I thought we were would be finishing up the flower application on the wall last night. NOT! Ran out of flowers. So, last minute dyeing of filters and now I'm trying to expedite the drying of them. There is still a lot to do before Saturday. The next photo I post will be on Saturday when the flower wall is in position and on display. I must say that it is gorgeous. Not at all how we imagined it would look. It is impressive.
🎀10/11 - 181.4 - Up all night glueing flowers. TIRED. Rested for two hours and now back at it. Hoping it doesn't have to be another all nighter.

GW to loose something regardless of holidays
UGW 125
10/05 155.6 sllooowwly inching off. Worked out good yesterday, ate well and 1.2 liters of water. Hate that I can't get enough water in... I need to get my head in the game. It was absolutely gorgeous yesterday and I was so happy to have a nice day again, fully knowing it is one of last nice days I decided to take full advantage of it. My dog sure loved me for it too lol more then 40 minutes of walking, breathing in the fresh air and just enjoying life. It ended up being a really great day!!
10/06 no weigh in. Last night went out late and woke up this morning and immediatley went out to pick up some stuff up for thanksgiving dinner tomorrow so didn't weigh in before eating. But I did work out, stay under calories and drank 1 liter of water so at least last night's outting won't effect tomorrow's weigh in
10/07 🍁🍃Thanksgiving 🍁🍃 154.8 not too bad. Yesterday wasn't feeling too good so my food wasn't the greatest and I got minimum exercise in (had to shop for thanksgiving) hoping today will go well but I am not sure at the same time...we will see
10/08 155.6 not a bad gain at all!!! I ate so much if not a little of everything but I think that worked in my favor. Rather then taking two plates of food, I had one with a spoonful of everything. That way I tasted everything but my brain registered being full when I was finished. Not too bad at all. Holidays are over and I am officially back at it. I got this!
10/09 156.4 Ok so here is the real gain from sunday lol ate within my goals, exercised and drank 1 liter of water. I personally have no clue of what more I can actually do to jump start this weight loss again..I'm definitely stuck with 156-155-154 . I already exercise with as much time as I have and I already eat extremely healthy, always watching my salt, sugar, carbs and fats...just being sure they all are balanced for the day and not over the suggested amount. Water is something I continue having a problem with probably going to just re set all my focus on that rather then worrying about everything else since I seem to have a good routine and mindfulness towards my balance. I'm just going to have to be patient with myself. I was looking back at another page from a couple of weeks ago when I first hit the 150s and I actually, literally said that the 150s were going to be a difficult 10 pounds and that I knew my weight loss would slow...lol should have listened to myself
10/10 155.8 weighed but forgot to post
10/11 154.4 crazy exercise day yesterday, ate under calories and drank 1.7 liters of water. Slowly coming down. On Tuesday I started feeling a tingle in my throat and yesterday woke up with a cough, this morning I woke up stuffed up. I might be fine to get some light exercising in but I already know tomorrow will be hard.

@Kathrynprestridge May I ask where in Eastern OK? We are visiting our older daughter and grandkids in Broken Arrow. DD is a nurse at a Tulsa hospital. No storm shelter at her apartment either.
@LonniJay My condolences on the loss of your aunt-in-law. Losses are never easy. Prayers of comfort for you and all of her family.
@allmannerofthings Your backwards woosh made me giggle. It’s good to have a sense of humor! You’ve got this!
@SheilaBoneham Go you!! Good job sticking to your plan! I hope Lily is okay.5 -

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

10/07 NWI Travel day, miserable weather for car travel! Pouring so hard we slowed to 40MPH a couple of times and spent about 20 minutes at a convenience store so DH could relax.

**UPDATE 10/11/18 My original goal was my last WW goal 137, when I got there I decided to give myself a couple of pounds for fluctuations and went to 135. I had noted that my high school weight was 125 which, at that time, weight charts said was about 20# too much but pictures from high school do not show that. So I am not stressing about what I weigh, I’m sticking to my plan and still losing. I’m curious to see where this takes me. I have thought about going to the gym and have been joining a friend to walk the treadmill a couple of times a week. When we get home from this trip, I may get serious. We’ll see!5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
10/05: 248.2 - No change in weight today. I'm hoping to see more of a downward trend this round now that TOM has passed.
10/06: 248.6 - I ate late yesterday.
10/07: 247.4 - I like seeing the scale drop!
10/08: 247.4 - I ate one fast food meal yesterday and it used up all of my calories. I'm so glad I don't eat out much.
10/09: 250.4 - Damn scale lol! That's my fault. I worked out for an hour then ate late. I'll try not to eat so late today.
10/10: 250.4 - I hate water retention! I tried a new routine Monday and I'm still sore. I plan to do that routine again tonight and I hope I can make it through the whole thing. I've been eating too much junk food lately. It's that time of year and everyone has candy. I've been trying to resist but it's definitely a challenge. People snack all day at work and smelling fast food and takeout has my cravings going mad.
On a sadder note, my favorite aunt in-law passed away suddenly of a stroke and I'm devastated. She was so young and amazing. She was fighting lung cancer and had a good prognosis. We were all hoping for the best. One of her son's, who was a twin, just had twins of his own. She was so loved and needed. I can't believe she's gone.
10/11: 250 - still sore from working out. I need to drink more water and eat light so this water retention will ease up. I have a Fat2Fit weigh-in tomorrow and I'm hoping I can drop some of the water by then.
Also, thank you all for the condolences. She was an amazing woman who was loved by many. I can stop thinking about her husband and children. I don't know when the funeral is yet but I hope we can make it.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" 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 two rounds. Round 53 was my 50 birthday celebrations that upped my weight for a few days.
I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

10/5 - 182.2 - Too many carbs yesterday, I did do a lot of working out too though so it shouldn't last too long.
10/6 - 182.0 - I am my own worse enemy I have got to learn to stop the high carbs!
10/7 - 182.2 I’m not surprised, this is a poor weekend to try to lose. Thanksgiving, gender reveal, company...
10/8 - 181.8 should be a But better day food wise today.
10/9 - 183.0 - Back at work today, I find it so much easier to control things at work and when I'm in my normal routine.
10/10 - 181.0 - Still feel "heavy" and like I've eaten too much. Hopefully this feeling goes away soon.

ROUND 55 (Round 2 for me)
5’5” 65 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Round 54 – SW 178 lb. down to 171.8 lb. (6.2 lb. loss) This was my beginning of eating keto and tracking calories. I expect more realistic loss this round, but loss, none the less!
Day/Weight/Comment
10/05 171.6 I’m happy to be starting another round! After a big breakfast with our guests from Zimbabwe, Thor (my GSD) and I walked a little over 3 miles. I took water for both of us this time. Someone took my water before I returned for it, but I drank a little of Thor’s water. We walked a little slower than usual since I had a full tummy from breakfast.
10/06 171.4 No walk, getting ready for a 2-day bus trip, singing and eating with my sisters in Christ. When I joined the group, my husband groaned, because he didn’t want me to be heavy like the rest of the ladies. His fears were grounded, and I gained about 40 lbs. Fortunately, most of us in the group have gotten serious about getting back in shape, so I think I’ll eat okay this weekend. Thor and I will miss our walks, but we plan to start again on Monday.
10/07 On the road and off the scale.
10/08 170.8 (when I woke up) (170.6 after walk with Thor) I think I was experiencing keto flu the last couple of days. I drank a lot of fluids, ate plenty of calories that I didn’t try to count—including shrimp, ribs, chicken, veggies, and I ate a few extra carbs to combat the tired, yucky feeling I’ve read is common at the beginning of a keto regimen. I feel fine today.
10/09 171 Up a little, could it have been something I ate? 😊 Don’t worry, be happy! Took a short walk with Thor and a friend this morning—before the rain started. I read “The Movie Chair’s” blog on MFP this morning, entitled “Walk Through the Swamp.” I don’t know if I would call it motivational or a kick in the pants, but it’s a wonderful piece, whatever you call it. I printed out copies for a few friends and relatives.
10/10 170.2 That’s more like what I want to see. I found my Chalean Extreme DVD set, so strength training begins today.
10/11 171 (when I woke up) 170.2 (after walk) I confess I ate more than usual yesterday, but I was finally close to my target protein and fat counts. I didn’t have time to walk yesterday, and I didn’t do great on my strength training. It’s a lot harder than it was 7 years ago! Who would have guessed? I have a long way to go, but I’m pressing on. What have I got to lose?
