10/15 - 165.7 lbs Damn! Went clothes shopping with my mom today, and it was waaay better with her help. Picked out a lot of new clothes that actually compliments my body. Feels soo good to buy new clothes. I wasn't that good with my calories today. I ate a chicken/bacon salad for lunch at a restaurant, and I have no idea how many calories it had.. But I ditched dinner, because I'm still feeling full after that huge salad. I didn't eat the crutons, so that helps a bit I guess haha! But that salad def contained a lot of calories. Was delicious though. She wanted to buy me lunch since my birthday was yesterday, so it's all good
10/16 - 165.7 (—) No change! I’m good with that 😃 Happy I didn’t bump up since I have no idea how many calories my lunch had yesterday. I went to the gym yesterday, but today is a netflix kind of day 😂 I think I’m coming down with something, so I’ll go to the gym tomorrow instead (if I feel better).
10/17 - 165.1 (-0.6) Great! I’ve lost 2 lbs / 1kg in 7 days 😃 Hope this losing streak lasts all the way to my goal! Heading to the gym today, feeling better.
10/18 - 165.1 (—) No change today, and that is fine. I’m happy to get this number confirmed two days in a row
Have a great day everyone!
10/19 - 164.6 (-0.5) Great! Headed to the gym soon. Haven’t exercised that much this week, since I’ve been in kind of a weird shape. Feeling a bit guilty that I skipped my exercises monday and tuesday.
10/20 - 165.1 (+0.5) Totally expected. Ate 30g more carbs than I use to (100g carbs, but same calorie intake), and that always bumps up my weight a bit This will go away when I stick to my carb goal again. I'm not sure how my day will look like today carb wise, but I'll try to not eat over 80g atleast.

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.

@stud47 My oh My! You look fantastic and are doing so well. Congratulations to a new healthier you!
@fraukazi Thanks for you kind words, I truly appreciate them! Also, I LOVE your attitude on your latest post regarding reversing gaining more! You are right! We are not just losing weight, we are reversing gaining more when we make our meal choices and our exercise decisions. What a great perspective. These insights make all the difference in our motivations. Thanks for that.9 -

GW get into the 40s
UGW 125
🍁10/15🍃 150.8 this weekend was a wash. I managed to stay under calories but the food choices were a bit questionable and I managed to work out but not like I had been during the week before I got sick. I am feeling better today but still have a dry cough which is just as bad as a stuffy nose. Hoping to get back into my routine today. Regardless a loss is a loss and I hope it stays that way
🕸10/16🕷 150.4 yesterday I had an ok day. Eating didn't have much variety, high carb day, exercised for a little over an hour and drank 1.3 liters of water. Still have a cough which is starting to annoy me. Want to get back to my usual workout
🎃10/17🎭 150.0 ate under and exercised good, drank 1.3 liters. This is where my weight starts to tease me..lol
⚰10/18🔮 149.8 Had a super hungry day yesterday and only got one small exercise in. It was all substantial food, not junk but I still couldn't help how hungry I was. Drank 2 liters *corrected, I was way off*. I'm going to wait a day to make sure this number is locked before I get excited...even if a little part of me already is
🍃10/19🍁 149.4 Had another super hungry day yesterday but I got in exercise (even though I ate almost all my exercise calories, which is rare) and drank 2 liters of water. I am so happy to officially say I'm in the 40s Wooot!! I put on a pair of pants that used to be tight on me and use to have that double bubble look but now they are so big, they are falling off..I am so happy about this, it's exciting.
🕷10/20🕸 149.2 im glad that I am here and can have a mini celebration dedicated to my new number 😄😄😄 Yesterday I wasn't as hungry but I feel, once again, super hungry today. I will just have to mindful about what I eat. Yesterday was a crazy work out day and i had 2 liters of water. Today is girls days with my MIL and SILs, were are going to the movies and I already know that I won't have to worry about the popcorn but the treats on the other hand...might be a little more difficult. Been having cravings for chocolate and I am trying to ignore them and replace those cravings with real food...which has worked so far. My TOM is next weekend so after watching that video @MultoMundoMonkey posted, I am going to start paying attention to cravings and try to have less carbs during this time frame. I'm glad I watched that video, it will now make me feel a little more in control and know what to expect

10/17 - 175.4…..holding steady. Unexpected travel tomorrow for a couple of days to help a family member in need. I’m not sure exactly which day I will be returning. I will be gone at least 2 nights and 3 days. I will log daily and try to read posts but will not be weighing.
10/18 - …..Away from home, no weigh. @abirdie56 Thanks for the recipe for the hair oil and as always, for all you give.
10/19 - …..Away from home, no weigh. My brother is doing a bit better after surgery. I hope to be home sometime tomorrow. We shall see. The last 2 days have been higher carb and calorie, but I’ve tried really hard to watch my portion sizes. We have ordered a lot of carry out to stay at home with him. Wow. Such delicious choices in this big city. No exercise or walking, unfortunately, but I’ll get back to what I can do when I get home. I dread the long drive home and the weight scale that awaits me. But I loved seeing my DB and DSIL again. It’s been nearly a year. My SIL is a nurse and will be able to take good care of him. She just needed my help for the first few days. Poor guy.
10/20 - …..Away from home, no weigh. I’m not sure what today will bring yet. I may be leaving for home later this evening. It is a 4 hour drive home. DB is grumbling less and DSIL is off work for the weekend so she can handle things. Everyone is doing fantastic so far this round. I am enjoying each and every post.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15- 184.2- good thing this went back down. Weekend didn't go as well as it could have to be honest but I packed a really healthy lunch today and the day has been good so far! Will go to the gym to workout later in the day after my class. I'm a little behind on biochemistry due to my biology exam last week so will be catching up on that today until class starts.
10/16- 184.4- Not upset over this. I think it will be better tomorrow. I worked out yesterday. Won't be able to today. Have a lot of studying to do today.
10/17- 184.0- Yay. Hopefully I'll be 183.something tomorrow? I've been eating on the higher range of my calorie goal this past week so I'm going to try to eat on the lower side today and get a bunch studying done. So far so good.
10/18- 184.6- lol omg.
10/19- 185.0- okay. No. We're not doing this. I know the scale will probably be even higher tomorrow as well so I'm anticipating that but starting tomorrow we're going back to the previous week's meals because those gave me much better results. We're trying to get to at least 182. Here we go!
10/20- 186.0- It's okay. We're back to business today even though it's Saturday lol

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 – 161.9 - Early to the gym today as hubby needed the car so posting late. Sure feels good to have worked the muscles a bit.
10/16 - 162 – Argh, the last few weeks coming home to roost. Having fed the cravings monster faithfully, now have to beat it back and kick it out. Listened to Youtube last night and someone made an aside comment about the theory that what we eat promotes certain bacteria in our gut so if we eat lots of sugar/carbs we will crave that because that is what our gut bacteria now want.
10/17 - 161.4 Gym today. Got some apples in the house again. They are so good at this time of year and keep me from other desserts/snacks.
10/18 - 161.2
10/19 - 160.8 – Good day yesterday. Still a little over cals. but not with sugar/fat. Got a few things done that have been sitting there forever it seems. One was so fast I can’t believe I procrastinated on it so long. The other is slow, as I guessed it would be, but at least I can see it chipping away.
10/20 - 162 – Sigh, LNS again, at least not too bad on the calories. Have to wonder why what seems so self-sabotaging in the morning can seem so reasonable at night. Need to think – “Will I regret this tomorrow morning?” not “This won’t really matter, I can get away with it because I went to the gym.”

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 DNW Vacation
10/16--220.4 I'm back from my vacation! Considering how little water I drank and the amount of food I ate during my 10 day vacation I am estatic that my scale showed an increase of less than 5 lbs. Of course when I attempted to weigh my food this morning on my food scale the scale showed a low battery so I couldn't weigh my food. I have the day off today, so this morning is a massage, I need it from all of the walking I did on the trip, and possibly Zumba later tonight. I will probably take the dog out for a longer walk this afternoon since it is going to be a great sunny fall day today.
10/17--220.6 Tired. I also feel like I have a cold coming on. I am very glad that I was able to get right back to my food logging after my trip. Goal today is to get my water in.
10/18--220.9 Don't know why the scale is going up I can only think that it is due to my body trying to fight this cold off and post vacation eating fluctations. Slept for 9 hours last night and could have slept for more. I will just stay focused with my eating and stay hydrated. Yoga tonight.
10/19--220.6 Yoga was great last night. I decided to take advantage of the free pass at the gym, so I went there after yoga. Lifted some weighs and swung some kettlebells. Gym was really nice and there was no hard sell to buy a membership. I have two more free visits. It was nice to wake up a little sore this morning. Still a little tired, but I think I have stopped the cold. Working on my water again today.
10/20--220.2 Still tired, still not feeling 100%. Was thinking about going to see a movie tonight, but will probably stay home and just rest. Working on water today.
10/21--220.2. Still holding steady. I have been expecting to see a drop, but it hasn't happened yet, so I'm just going to keep doing what I have to do and wait for the scale to follow. Feeling more rested...already went to the gym this morning and did some weightlifting. Going out for lunch today.

10/15 - 150 - No surprise there, I had spaghetti both Saturday and Sunday night (within calories) and very little water.
10/16 - 149.5 - Nice to see this morning. More water today!
10/17 - 149 - I'm having lunch with a client today, so I'm glad I'm down a little more. He's taking me to a private restaurant at his club, so there is no online menu for me to pre-plan my meal. Nine months ago I wouldn't have though twice about it. Now, I'm going to take the advice that I've learned here and make the best choices I can to mitigate the damages for tomorrow's weigh in.
10/18 - 148 - Surprise! I ordered the baked cod for my business lunch yesterday (it would not have been my choice earlier this year) and this morning I'm happy I did.
10/19 - 148 - I fully expected a bounce back this morning as that is usually what happens after a new low. This is a nice weight to go into the weekend for me.
10/20 - 147.5 - Wow, I had a piece of pizza last night and expected the sodium to bump me up. It will probably hit tomorrow. I will say that having just adopted our new dog last week, my steps have definitely gone up. If I think about it, my weight loss started slowing too when our old dog died in July. I've read before how a dog helps people stay fit, it just never occurred to me that our previous dog probably kept me from gaining even more weight.

Round 55 (my round 2) SW 183 FW 182
Round 56 (my round 3) SW 182 goal 179
10/15 182 trying to get motivated to workout this morning!
10/16 I didn’t workout yesterday and didn’t weigh in this morning. I haven’t been feeling well since the weekend so I’m just focusing on eating healthy and staying close to calories. Hopefully I’ll feel better by tonight for my workout!
10/17 183.3 up 1.3 lbs. and I’m not surprised. I hadn’t been feeling well, so was not as active as I usually am, I ate at maintenance yesterday and had two pieces of Halloween candy. Ugh. But today I am feeling back to 100% and had a great workout this morning, and I’m back to my regular healthy eating.
10/19 182 back down, whew! I was worried. I have a busy day today so will keep my calories low. Today is my rest day so I’m not working out today. Hardest thing is the Halloween candy that is invading my house!! My plan is that instead of candy I’ve made a list of ‘things to do’ around the house, for example - I cleaned out the pantry yesterday, next is storing my summer sandals and getting out all of my booties. Gonna feel so good!
10/20 181 and I cant even believe it! I ate two small slices of previously frozen pizza plus a salad last night for dinner, then had a glass of apple cider (at an event later) and I thought just that - and only that - would do me in. Usually this is how it works for me. Maybe all the super low cal stuff I did for the past two weeks has jump started my metabolism. Also perhaps I think that my lymph system doesn’t work any longer. I have been doing some self massage and maybe that’s making it all flow better. Whatever it is that’s now working, I’ll take it! But I would like to know for the future me. So, I guess the story and experiment continues!10 -

@fraukazi Thanks for you kind words, I truly appreciate them! Also, I LOVE your attitude on your latest post regarding reversing gaining more! You are right! We are not just losing weight, we are reversing gaining more when we make our meal choices and our exercise decisions. What a great perspective. These insights make all the difference in our motivations. Thanks for that.

10/15 158.6 BMI=23.8!!!!
I was on a 3 day/2 night trip- ate 1 meal out each day (which I never do) & tracked all, walked over 37K steps. Lost 0.2lbs. I’m thrilled. The other trip we took, I gained & was hungry all the time. Pleased this one worked out!
10/16 157.0 BMI=23.5!!!! Lowest Weight Yet!!!
This is a Huge day for me!!
On the day of my fall & arm break, my weight was 157.8. Immediately after, it went to 161, and after surgery, it immediately went up to 165.8. All Along, despite being hugely disappointed with the weight gain, I kept walking/exercising and tracking all of my food carefully. I hope it was just water.
Today was my Reward.
Only 7 pounds to my Final Goal Weight!!

Day/Weight/comment
10/15: 196.2 -- what? This is the highest weight that I've seen in a while and it is super discouraging. I've been logging religiously and working out- I guess I've got to lower my calories.
10/16: no weight, work travel
10/17: no weight, work travel
10/18: 196.2 -- STILL. I guess this isn't surprising. I was very sedentary the last few days and the work trip came with lots of eating events. I am bummed though because I was hoping the 196 number was a fluke. I guess I need to own it. Today my goal is to stick within my calorie range and show a big deficit. I also want to get my body movin'!
10/19: 194.2 -- this seems a little back to normal. I did pretty good with my food yesterday but my portion sizes were a bit too large last night at dinner. I did make it to lunchtime spin class which was a feat given my crazy schedule yesterday. Today is Friday and I've got a super healthy lunch packed. Planning to hit the gym at lunch- or maybe head outside for a run if the sun comes out. I've had a long week at work and I'm looking forward to the weekend.
10/20: 193.6 -- Yay it's Saturday! It's beautiful weather, and I'm headed to a great afternoon party at a friend's farm this afternoon. Weight down a little. Yesterday I ran for 2 miles after work even though I did not feel like it AT ALL. I kept trying to talk myself out of it. Why do we do that to ourselves? Anyway, today I plan to get in a strength workout before heading to the party.

Round 7 for me. I've not been consistent and dropped out in round 5 and messed up in round 6. This has resulted in a 2 pound gain, but to be honest, I needed to give the scale a break as it was making me more depressed than helping me focus. Anyway, I'm back with a refreshed mind and a fighting spirit. Goal to get to 190lbs this round.
good luck to you all.
SW (this round) 193lbs
10/15 193lbs - no change, which is better than a gain
10/16 195lbs ...so disappointed, but I'm hoping that is it all the water that I've been drinking and the fact that I did a kettle bar routine and my muscles are recovering... oh well all I can do is keep on trying
10/17 197lbs ... my scale must be broken .. 4lbs gain in two days !!!! Hopefully, I'll start losing again. Still exercising and chugging the water. Refuse to let this get me down, just hope my body starts adjusting
10/18 195.5lbs ... finally, a good change
10/19 192.5lbs - so pleased to be heading the right way

The goal for this Round: 71.5
New goal for this Round 70.00kg
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 - 73.6kg - I've been indulging in too many carbs. IF + challenge to get me back on track.
10/16 - 72.9kg - As suspected, eating too many carbs made me retain water. Tonight I have gym, curious to see my numbers tomorrow morning.
10/17 - 72.00kg - This still must be water weight. Feeling better and more energetic! Gym sesh was great, that might've helped. I'm gonna try adding keto principles to my diet. It seems as much as I love 'em, carbs make weight loss much harder and longer for me. Anyone else on keto?
10/18 - 71.8kg - ok, now I'm hopeful. I just might end this on 71.5kg. Keto day 1 went ok, not hungry, just my mind playing tricks on me and wanting carbs. Today gym again. Hoping to see the scale move a bit down tomorrow as well. I'm about to travel to the USA for 2 months, so I'm trying to ditch these last few kgs before I leave.
10/19 - 70.80kg - Whoop!
10/20 - 70.80kg - Given that I drank more than I should last night (white wine) this is actually all good. Today I blew through my carbs and ate way too many. Expecting the scale to show that tomorrow, but it's ok, it'll come back down. If I can end this challenge on 70.00 I'll be thrilled. SO close to my goal but it seems so far away! One day at the time. Deep breaths.

I have just over 2 weeks(my birthday)to hit my goal of getting into the normal BMI range, which is attainable as long as I keep focused.

Third week on Keto WOE and impressed with decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain. Yay!
Round 54 – SW 178 lb. down to 171.8 lb. (6.2 lb. loss) This was my beginning of eating keto and tracking calories.
Round 55 – Finished at 170.0 (1.8 lb. loss)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 169.2 This is the number I wanted to see yesterday, but today’s good, too. It was raining when I woke up for my walk with Thor (my GSD). So, we slept another 1½ hours, and it was still raining. I’ll have to exercise inside today. Thor can run in the yard, and I’ll dry him off. I’m happy I mowed my yard and burned my brush piles before the rain started. I'd rather work outside, but I'll bake oatmeal cookies for my thin husband, cook Turkey Cabbage Stew to portion out and freeze, and do my husband's ironing so he'll look well cared for. After the rain stops—plant winter garden. Praying for a blessed day for all you fellow losers! I love being a (weight) loser.
10/16 168.4 Unexpected! I hope it doesn’t come back tomorrow. I have lunch at the women’s club meeting today—good time to practice restraint in preparation for the 10-day tour in New England states next month.
10/17 167.4 Really? Just to be sure, I got on the scale again, and verified the number. I’m keeping it! Thor and I did our 3+ mile walk this cool morning. The side is kinda blown out on my right walking boot, but I didn’t wear my newer pair because I realized this lets my toes spread and prevents the pain from my Norton’s Neuroma (small tumor between my toes). The Lord blesses me in mysterious ways. 😊 I think I can credit this keto WOE for less arthritis pain in my back/hips and shoulder. Even if I wasn’t losing weight, it’s worth being able to get more done without pain.
10/18 167.4 I’m good with no change today. Didn’t get to walk today, but I had a great day hanging out with friends. I turned down sweets, but had a glass of wine. I hope it doesn’t haunt me tomorrow.
10/19 167.0 I like the way this is going! Thor and I got in our 3.2 mile walk today. Rain drops began falling on our heads before we reached the half-way point, but we didn’t let it stop us. The rain stopped, and the walk was enjoyable. When we started, herds of cattle would trot to the fence along the road to see if we had anything for them. Now, they’re used to us and just glance up and go back to grazing. 😊
10/20 167.4 The scale giveth and the scale taketh away. I prefer “taketh away.” (Sigh) I stuffed myself to get over 1000 calories last night. Perhaps I shouldn’t have bothered. No walk with Thor today, but a nice day with my husband--Gosnell movie, lunch, and shopping. I'm glad they put Dr. Gosnell away for life, but I'm afraid there are more "doctors" like him in other cities.

10/15 - 80.1kg, I expected my weight to go up a little. Bit too much sodium at dinner. I’m okay with this though! Still going strong with IF, eating 1200cals and drinking at least 1.5L of water. I’m feeling incredibly motivated and excited for this round
10/16 - 79.5kg !!! I feel like I’ll plateau around this number for a few days but happy to see it come down, and feeling much less bloated than yesterday
10/17 - 79.6kg, expected! Okay with it! I haven’t had coffee for two days and I’ve noticed I’ve not been so ‘regular’, which is probably contributing as well
10/18 - 79.5kg
10/19 - 79.4kg, happy with this considering I went a little over calories last night and probably had a bit too much sodium. I drank so much water though, over 2L!
10/20 - 79.2kg, glad the scales keep going down! Just doing everything I know I should, and it’s working
10/21 - 79.2kg, pretty happy to still be here. I had a very big night with too many drinks and basically no water all day I saved 400 calories for the evening after my alcohol but I still drank more and my body was not happy on the way home!!! I’ll likely go over my calories today nursing this hangover but I definitely need it

10/15 - Monday - 136.5 - For a serial starter like me, 10-day challenge is the perfect way to hold myself accountable. It’s a busy day today, but I will stick to no snacking after dinner.
10/16 - Tuesday - 135.4 - cannot believe how fast today went by. Was good all day until I got home. Oh well. There were reasons. I will do better tomorrow.
10/17 - Wednesday - 134.9 - Honestly I did not stick to my food plan yesterday, because I was so hungry when I got home after my evening class. But I am pleasantly surprised.
10/18 - Thursday - 134.9 - The scale has been kind to me. I did not do well with my food intake. But my weight did not go up right away. I suspect has to do with how much water the body retains. On a positive note, I have kept up with logging food everyday.
10/19 - Friday - 134.9 - second day in a row of eating out for lunch. Paid attention not to eat dessert that was offered.
10/20 - Saturday -135.1 - I think all the sweets I ate during the week is starting to show 😫 But on the other hand, I logged my meals everyday of the week!

10/15/ 208.8#. I found that 19 ounces of squash with a little butter and sugar is about 300 calories. Very filling and helped my stay under my calories.
10/16 207.6#. (-1.2) Started my day tired. Met someone for lunch, so I splurged. I stayed under my allotted calories for the day. 🤩
10/17 208.2# (0.6#) still down half a pound from the start. Not going to fret about it. Got some exercise in. Went over my allotted calories, but stayed under 2,000 so I'm good with that.
10/18 208.4# (0.2#) tried to drink more water today. I've been very bad about water and have only been drinking about half. 3rd day in a row for eating out.
10/19 208.8#. Back to my starting weight on Monday. BUT I am down 2.6# from last Friday! I am eating out for supper tonight. Planning on bringing my own homemade dressing though. Can't wait! Ate so much today. Completely went nuts. Felt terrible ALL day. 😖🤢🤯
10/20 208.6#. I think I've been eating too much sugar or fat. I've had quite a bit of heartburn the last couple of days.

This is my third round. I think the best part of this challenge is that in recording the weight every day with a comment, I talk myself down from the hype that comes with weighing myself every day. It’s so easy to have the scale affect my mood. This challenge reminds me that my goal for the 10 days is to lose 1.5 – 3 lbs and puts the scale—the ups, the downs, the lack of movement, the ups and downs…into perspective! Thanks everyone and good luck this round!
