10/15 - 187.2 - ugh! I'm going to do better this round. Goals are to exercise 5-6 days a week and be below 185.5 by the end!
10/16 - 185.6 - got my workout in this morning too!
10/17 - 185.6 - workout done this a.m.
10/18 - 185.2 - stayed up late with the family and missed my early workout. Will try to walk the dogs this afternoon to get some movement.
10/19 - 186.2 - have to make better choices for snacks after work! I'm starving and we eat dinner late and I make all the wrong decisions at this point!
10/20 -187.2
10/21 - 187.2
10/22 - 188.2 - missed a few days of posting due to a crazy weekend which is evident by the scale. Hoping for a loss these last 2 days...
10/23 - 187.2 - in the right direction again. Hoping to end on a lower note!
10/24 - 185.6 - .1 off from my goal - I'll take it! See you in the next round!

10/15: 157.2/Committed to sticking with my goals this round.
10/16: 155.8/Ran on the treadmill yesterday instead of outside and I hated it, but with the fall setting in I don't have much of a choice.
10/17: 155.2/Had a work conference, worried about blowing my diet, but kept it together.
10/18: 154.0/Feeling great! Went for a run outside yesterday. It days like this that motivate me to keep going and not drink that glass of wine or eat a whole bag of chips. 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.
10/19: 153.8/Have to keep this momentum going into the weekend! Down 25 lbs, from my osw!
10/20: 153.4/Dinner and drinks with friends tonight, we'll see what this brings tomorrow.
10/21: 156.2/And here is my awesome weekend bump, sigh
10/22: 155.6/Just want to curl up with a pizza and wine, the struggle is real today.
10/23: 155.4/We'll see how today goes. I need to go back and read my notes, I am on a downward motivation spiral.
10/24: 154.2/Happy with this. I really appreciate this challenge as it has helped keep me on track. See you next round.

Day - Weekday - Weight - Comment

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!

10/21 - Sunday - 136.0 - It’s been challenging on weekends!

10/22 - Monday - 136.2 - The numbers from this last week form a perfect valley. Sigh… it’s been hard to keep up with everything.

10/23 - Tuesday - 136.7 - feeling low.

10/24 - Wednesday - 137.6 - I noticed I’ve been craving mostly carbs last couple days. Also have the feeling of my body filled with water. Not happy that I ended the 10-day with an increase, but have to live with the fluctuation & aim for better in the next round.

‪10/18 - 207.4‬
‪10/19 - 207.0 - went to my son’s hockey BBQ as planned and only had the veggie burger that I brought with me. And it was enough. It was more about enjoying the outdoors and the people. I didn’t care about not having the chips that were there. Today is normally a bit of a free day for me but I’m going to try my best to track everything, get my water and steps in‬
‪10/20 - 207.0. I’m so happy with this. I tracked everything yesterday which kept me from having more of a free day than I might have. I had some salty meals yesterday so I’m going to drink tonnes of water today. ‬
‪10/21 - 209.0 - looks like the salt caught up to me. I had one slice of pizza last night and that really put me over. I also only got half my steps for the day. Drinking a lake today and walking more. ‬
‪10/22 - 208.0 - and the salt is going away. Although I up since Friday this is probably the least amount I have gained over a weekend in a long time so I’m feeling pretty happy right now. My food is all planned out for today. Planned a walk at lunch so just need to make sure I get my water in again today. ‬
‪10/23 - 207.6 - continuing to come off by keeping to my plan. Doing it all again today! Lots of water and a walk planned at lunch. ‬
‪10/24 - 206.8 - have breakfast and lunch and snacks planned. I’m not sure about supper so need to make sure I stay within my calories today. ‬

10/15 - 179.6 - Finally in the 170s!
10/16 - 180.1 - Darn it!
10/17 – 179.9 – Yay!
10/18 – 179.7 – Not feeling hungry at all, but feeling thinner. I wish everyday was like this.
10/19 - 180.0 - Today is "Weigh-in" day and I'm down -2.2 for the week. I'm upping my calories for the next 2 days so I am preparing myself for a slight increase on the scale.
10/20 - 179.7 - I'll take it!
10/21 - 179.7 - Went to Six Flags yesterday, walked a lot, burned a lot of calories. I guestimated what I ate calories wise and being conservative I think I only went over by 100. I am definitely taking a rest day today. Feeling motivated.
10/22 - 180.6 - Did everything right, I've had large deficits the past 10+ days and I've only lost 1.6. I'm thinking it's hormonal, ovulation maybe?? Idk. I'm about to stop weighing if it's going to affect me like this all the time. I feel like I've lost weight, 1/2" off my waist, yet the scale is messing with my head. Not sure about stepping on the scale anymore. Maybe just once a month. Still trying to decide on what I want to do. One thing is for sure, I AM NOT GIVING UP. I have to lose this weight for so many reasons. The scale is trying to break my spirit.
10/23 - 179.3 - Feeling a little sheepish that I had a freak out moment on the scale yesterday. Still .3 loss in 9 days is irritating, especially for someone who is just starting out and has been having 1000 deficit each day. I'm going to keep going knowing that the scale will respond eventually. I'm going to keep weighing daily as well, and try not to let it get to me.
10/24 - 179.7 - LOL, that's all I can say. Did everything right. Workout, kept calories within my goal, weighed my food, drank all my water etc. I feel lighter, my pants are loose, I know that if I keep at it the scale will reflect it. I'm going to give it another week or so of daily weighing, and if the scale continues to play games with me I'm just going to not weigh. I'm also adding in an extra serving of protein and I'm going to cut down on my dairy next round. Those are my goals for next round. Great job everyone else! And for those like me who didn't lose, keep at it, it will come off eventually.

Day/Weight/Comment

🎀 10/15 - 180.2 - Still tired lol. 65g carbs, 52g net carbs. Last night I thought I would have a good report on carb intake, then I remembered the bread and butter that I ate with my DGD, smh. I have some reading to do on the last thread.
🎀 10/16 - 181.6 - I have been neglecting my electrolytes. Sodium and potassium have been very low for the past 2 weeks. Probably also contributing to my tiredness. Carbs were higher than 25g yesterday, but I can go as high as 50g without a problem. So, the plan is electrolytes twice a day until my body adjusts.
🎀 10/17 - 179.8 - Electrolytes X 2✔ 10 hours of sleep?!✔✔ That NEVER happens. Still tired though, lol. Inadvertently, I did a sort of egg fast. My first meal, I ate 2 boiled eggs that were sitting in the fridge with some cheddar cheese. I wasn't in the mood for the dinner that I prepared, so my second meal was an omelette filled with spinach and arugula.
🎀 10/18 - Scale weight was all over the place this morning. Started with 172, ten times! Ended with 180.2, three times. Other numbers in between. Hopeful that it will settle tomorrow.
🎀 10/19 - 178.2 - I went to bed at 9pm last night. I've been slowly decreasing the carb grams back to keto level this week and increasing the fat. Drinking my electrolytes. Sunday was 65g carbs, 52g net carbs. Yesterday was 22g carbs, 18g net carbs. Also, getting back to 16/8 and 20/4 intermittent fasting. IF was not consistent daily while I worked on the project for my friend.
🎀 10/20 - 177.6
🎀10/21 - 178.2 - A litttle bit higher carbs yesterday, but not enough to cause this weight uptick. Just normal. Celebrating my Grandson's birthday today. He turned 2 yesterday. I have no clue what the carb grams could be today. Taking a fatty dip and vegetables with me. Tomorrow, the rest of the carby story. Smh.
🎀10/22 - 177.4 - I'll find out tomorrow if that weight will stand for more than a day, because here is the rest of yesterday's story. 130g carbs, 117g net carbs. 84.9 ozs water +52ozs other fluids (coffee and wine) 100 quick add calories, because I ate chocolate frosting off my fingers after wrapping cake for the freezer. I know it had to be at least 100 calories. BTW, that cake was 790 calories per 7oz slice! I asked my son to get his wifes food scale out. His MIL said "Tish, you gonna weigh the cake?" I said yes and ate 1/4 of it. I just remembered before going to sleep last night, 6ozs of chardonnay I drank. 3ozs I asked for, 3ozs my DIL added to my cup without permission. I drank it though😂 So add 93 calories and 3.1 grams more of carbs to the carnage.
🎀10/23 - 178.4 😅 - There it is

🎀10/24 - 176.6 - Wow. A true blessing, as the entire past year has been for me including my weightloss.

Round #56 but My #2 round
Female/49 years/Missouri

OSW - 213 (highest weight ever 280 but I've had most of that off for more than 10 years but still)
CW - 191
RGW - 187
UGW – 135

Food Goals:
Get 5 servings of fruits/veggies every day.
Stay under my calorie goal of 1,500.

Exercise:
Walk at least an hour 3 days a week.
Weight training 1 day a week
Other 1 day a week for an hour (biking/tennis/water aerobics or walking if nothing more fun is available)

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 - 191 The first day back at work after being sick. Hope to return to exercise routine tomorrow.
10/16 - 192.2 Worked out at the gym over an hour (drove for 3.5 hours to St. Louis)
10/17 - no scale traveling. Walked 3 rough miles (included 150 steps back up a steep hill)
10/18 - no scale traveling. Walked 3 miles (drove 3.5 hours back to K.C. and still walked!)
10/19 - 193.3 Hopefully just retained water, I stayed within calories goals. I will rest today and go for a 4 mile walk tomorrow.
10/20 - 191.6 Did not make the long walk but did walk around the pumpkin patch for 3 hours. Sometimes carrying a squirming 22 pound baby, that should count right??
10/21 - 191.6 Walked 5 miles! Longest walk I've been on in probably 3 years!!!
10/22 - 191.6 Walked 3 miles. Felt good to get on the trail again after a long day yesterday.
10/23 - 192.6 Dang it! Up and down. I'm exercising & staying within calorie goal. Why aren't I down???
10/24 - No scale traveling. I went to the gym last night and did weights for about 45 minutes then walked for an hour. I'd like to think I am down, but I know I had too much sodium yesterday so I'm probably not even though I stayed within calorie goal. Going to the doc today on something unrelated. I'm going to ask him.

@jaccimc63 Thank you for your kind words! Your progress has been great, and YOU are an inspiration to me! I guess I need to be more realistic about what maintenance means if I don't want to do the perpetual yoyo that I too have been on all my life.

@FarmerCarla Yes, these last few are the hardest! I do need to get moving more, and just do it alone. I always try to wait for my husband and do it together, but he has his own projects going so I need to stop waiting!

@shunggie Water retention for muscle recovery. Be patient. You’ve got this!

@FarmerCarla When I was having a problem with Morton’s neuroma the doctor gave me a metatarsal pad for my foot/shoe. It cleared on its own. @tiabirdie56 Mine was probably 20 years ago too! My how time flies.

@hjoy450 Don’t forget to join us for Round 57, if you haven’t already. It starts tomorrow.
@timofeeva1213 YES! Forever, I hope! Here is the link —

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.

10/15 128.5 Eating Mexican again, chips 2 nights in a row, granddaughter #1’s choice
10/16 129.5 On the road home
10/17 *NWI Travel
10/18 131.5 Normal post travel gain
10/19 132.5 Early weigh in. Not drinking enough water x at least 3 days. Cooler/rainy weather in Oklahoma followed by 2 days in the car. Only drank about 1.5 qt yesterday. I need a nap.
10/20 132.0
10/21 131.0. Finally caught up on posts. Got up about 6 this morning and about 20 minutes later there was a thunder clap that split a cloud! We had a 5 minute downpour.
10/22 130.0
10/23 130.0
10/24 131.5 Cici’s pizza in a bowl for lunch yesterday and we ate earlier than usual so I was hungry later and ate. Still 5.5 below original goal.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 - 259.6 hit the gym today - cardio and arms. Steps - 20,951
10/16 - 259.2 - feeling a bit stuck lately I didn’t plan meals super well today, and we eat dinner super early for hubby’s schedule, so I went over calories with some junk food after the kids went to bed. I really want to learn how to have a little treat, but keep it under control and no gym today, just regular life and walking around the park - steps - 16,496
10/17 - 258.9 - I am proud of myself for saying ‘no’ to desert after lunch, and exercising instead!! First day in a long time I did not hit my step goal -13,566 (goal of 15k)
10/18 - 257.9 - my daughter has strep, so today’s workout was a yard work workout 😅 exhausting! 19,409 steps
10/19 - 257.9
10/20 - 257.8 did not eat well today at all - some of the kids left over macaroni and cheese for lunch, and some free pizza for dinner. I need to plan my meals better so I don’t fall into the ‘easy’ trap.

Round 55 SW 199.8 EW 200.6
Round 56

Goal: Exercise or walk at least 30 minutes. Be under calorie goal (1500). Drink 64 oz of water.

10/15- 200.8. No exercise. Over calories. 64 oz of water. Really tired today. I’m off tomorrow so will definitely get some exercise in then.

10/16- 198.8. 40 minutes exercise. Under calories. 64 oz of water.

10/17- 199.6. 30 minutes bicycle. Over calorie goals (ate out at lunchtime and had snacks in between meals), 64 oz of water.

10/18- 202. Hoping the gain is from the exercise. Everything is still sore from my workout Tuesday.

10/19- 199.2. No exercise. Over calories. 52 oz of water. I need to get back on an exercise schedule and eat smaller snacks between meals, or no snack at all.

10/20- Did not weigh today. 35 minutes bicycle. Under calories. 64 oz water. Crazy hectic day, but I made myself exercise and I’m glad I did.

10/21- 202. 1 hour of exercise. Over calories. 64 oz of water.

10/22- 201.2. No exercise today. Spent most of the day sitting at a doctor’s office. Under calories. Didn’t take water with me today and not going to make it to 64 oz. Gotta make some major changes after today’s doctor’s appointment.

10/23- 199.8. 30 minutes of aerobics. Under calories. 68 oz of water. I started a low sodium meal plan today and I prepped my breakfast and lunch for tomorrow. I feel good about today.

10/24- 197.8. I started a new med so I’m sure this is water weight loss, but it’s still nice to see a loss right?! Lol.

🍁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

🎭10/21🎃 149.8 so yesterday I had written about being mindful and staying away from popcorn and treats...that didn't happen. I am not the biggest popcorn fan so I was pretty confident, at first...but it was as if the minute I started eating I couldn't stop...and that kept going on and on and on for the rest of the day. I was able to exercise as well though, so everything was tracked and under but my exercise calories were definitley all eaten up and although I had a +20 I still managed to eat over 1800. I decided to check my due date on a cycle calender I have for TOM and once again I made a mistake. I thought it was due next weekend but it's actually due on Tuesday...so that explains my over eating, hunger all week long and crazy cravings. I am used to getting cravings before hand, happens every month but the day of the week always changes, it can happen a week before or two days before but it's never consistent. So I am taking the gain in stride, jumping on the horse again today and going for it.

(You can stop reading here if you would like cause here comes a mini rant..you can read it if you want but it's more for me)
Spoiler
I need to get my mind set in shape. I have always written and told people you need to get your head on straight and healthy along with your body, don't neglect it or else it will have an effect on your longevity and your will power. Every week I write how pleased I am about my eating but then also write I could have done better with exercise...while this week I have been proud of my exercise but not my eating. I am getting tired of being a self-nag. I need to be proud period. Positivity has always been hard for me (a self nagging perfectionist who is also a pessimist) and it wasnt until the beginning of this year, with difficulty I wanted to switch that around. Change all negatives to positive. I start off well enough but then drown again, have to remind myself, get back on, stick to it ...and then drown again. In the past I have battled with severe depression so every day is still a constant battle to give myself a break mentally. And here I go again trying to remind myself to be greatful for my full body, my ability to be a functioning, mobile healthy 28 year old and to thank God for all the privileges I have in life..no more I could have done better or I could have pushed harder or I could have gone another mile..from now on I am greatful I was capable of accomplishing what I have accomplished today, I am greatful I am healthy enough to have pushed myself as hard and I am greatful I am able to take those first steps and every step afterwards. I am going to start to be as mindful about my thoughts as I am about my eating and as mindful as I would be towards my form while exercising and the minutes I put in. This journey is about getting healthy, not just telling myself I am..but actually being it. For those still reading, it will never matter how much you loose or how fit you become if you don't fix your mentality, can't stress this enough, because if you don't you will never really be happy about your results...you will forever be stuck in the body you began your journey in and never break free.

🔮10/22⚰ 149.6 yesterday i ate within calories, exercised and had two liters of water. I am finally getting a hold of my hydration..big NSV for me. My hubby is also starting to notice, telling me I have been looking great latley..in the past 8 years of knowing this man he has always steered away from any conversation regarding weight (smart man lol) I am feeling bloated today so I am hoping after my TOM passes, I will at least flush another pound or two...we will see.

🍁10/23🍃151 I am ignoring this weight today. TOM has arrived and its normal for me to gain a couple pounds of water weight. It just so happens yesterday I didn't exercise much, just walking but I stayed under calories and drank 1.5 liters of water. It was just a shock to see considering I did nothing that would have caused it. Hopefully it will go down by tomorrow so I make my goal for the round

🕸10/24🕷 149.8 i knew yesterday's weight was all water. I literally just made it 😁 that makes me happy. I am hoping next round starts a down ward trend. I am probably going to have to really work these last 20 pounds, I feel like it is going to be tough to get to my goal weight. Persistence is key. I had a "cheat" meal last night and drank 1.75 Liters of water ..decided to exercise late last night to make up for it, guess it worked and didn't totally kill my weight. See you all next round!!!

Snowflake1968

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.

Round 56 (My 10th)

10/15 152 I'm really surprised I didn't gain anything from the weekend. I felt so full and yucky yesterday from all the wine I had Saturday night. I only had 700 calories yesterday though because I really couldn't eat much. Not complaining though! Hope you all are well, I didnt have much time on my phone this weekend to read all your posts but I plan to go back through them today .
10/16 151 Woohoo! So close to the 140's. I was just thinking back to my crazy hunger phase that I had back in September. So glad I pushed through it. It has definitely gotten easier .
10/17 151 (forgot to post but did weigh)
10/18 151 I originally set myself a goal of 148 by Halloween. Working hard to reach it! I know I can do it.
10/19 151 pizza last night and cereal for lunch so yesterday was a high carb/sugar day. Will make up for it today! 😊
10/20 150.5 not getting too excited about this because I'm going to eat Mexican food tonight! Ate light yesterday because I really wasn't all that hungry. Today's goal is to make sure I get enough water in because of the sodium in the foods I'm having tonight. I am also on my last lap of my morning walk of 3 miles . Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
10/21 150.5 forgot to post- I did not over eat at the mexican restaurant yesterday .
10/22 150.5 Yesterday was homecoming at my church so there was tons of food. I didn't eat too bad, but had sweet tea which I normally skip and dessert. I know eating like this some of the times is ok, but also know if I keep eating like I have this weekend my weight will creep back up! Staying mindful of this. Happy my weight maintained through the weekend though!
10/23 151.5 I gave in to my sugar and chocolate craving at midnight last night. I had cereal and chocolate milk. Feeling really bloated today, so I'll for sure be drinking on cucumber water as soon as I can get to the grocery store! Not down though, I know this is only temporary! I have eaten a lot of junk the past week.
10/24 151 Today is my weigh in day for a couple of groups on here that I am part of. I am the same weight as last week, and this is actually the first week that I haven't had a loss. I am not beating myself up about it though because I have had wonderful results! I know the culprit. I have had so many bad foods in the past week that I have been avoiding (pizza, macaroni and cheese, cereal etc). Ready for the next round! Going to try and close out October with a loss. Not looking good for making my original goal for October (148) but I am so close so it's ok. Staying positive. See you all for round 57!

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!

10/21 I didn’t weigh in today. I got up and started working on making chili and a cake. We had a family birthday party today. I had one too many bowls of chili, and two too many pieces of cake. Oh well. I skipped breakfast and snacked for lunch, and was just very active around the house with cleaning and getting set up for the party - so hopefully all of that will help for the weigh in tomorrow morning. 🤞

10/22 didn’t weigh in.

10/23 didn’t weigh in....are you starting to catch on to my trend? Well. Ok. I need to weigh in tomorrow. Honestly, I’m sure you’ve guessed, I’ve been a little afraid to do so. I really think I’m up. The party on the 21st may have done me in. I’ve been pretty good on calories and have been working out. I will weigh in tomorrow morning even though I’m dreading it. 😬

10/24 182 and kind of what I was guessing. Not so bad at all. I’ve had too much indulgences this past week and not enough fasting days. I’m afraid this coming week will be worse because of Halloween so I’m planning a few fasting days for next week. I’m ok with just maintaining at this rate. So I’m pretty pleased at this point. See you in the next round!

@cdavisdeva

You are doing so good! Pizza, macaroni, cheese and cereal should be allowed sometimes. It's all about finding the right balance. And hey, it's still a loss in this round of the challenge!

10/15: 193.3! I’m very pleased with myself right now. Will be doing a lower body workout and yoga today.
10/16: 194. Bleh. Did yoga for zombies yesterday because I was short on time. Doing Day 1 of the 30 days of yoga today. Also going for a run. Did a little low intensity water walking with my mom, who has health issues. Hoping the scales will go back down tomorrow.
10/17:194.4. Ate garbage, didn’t get enough sleep, feel like garbage. Youtube was down when I was about to start my 30 days of yoga, and by the time I found the workaround, it was too late in the night. Will start it tonight after strength training. Bleh. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
10/18: 194.4. Got more sleep. Will hopefully see a loss tomorrow. Day 2/30.
10/19: 195.9. Just water weight. Too much salt yesterday. Drinking a lot of water to compensate.
10/20: 194.1. Was too busy to update.
10/21: 194.1. Feeling really nauseous. Hoping I won’t get really sick. Haven’t been drinking enough water or exercising. Also, being down half a pound from the week’s starting weight is nice.
10/22: 194.1. Nauseous on and off today, but also ate like the garbage lol. Maybe there will be a gain tomorrow, maybe there won’t. Hoping not.
10/23:194.1. Need to get more sleep lol.
10/24: 195.6. Ugh. Feeling awful about myself. Will try harder next round. Will have to try to cut out late night snacking. See you guys in round 57.

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.”
10/21
10/22 – 160.6 - This is better, but need some days within my cals. to get out of the 160’s. No gym today as I need to get the leaves raked while they are still dry for my leaf chopper. Thankful for the beautiful crisp fall weather we’ve been having but also ready to be finished with outside jobs. We usually get cold rain/snow for Halloween and then freezing temps. through Nov. with the real snow coming later that month.
10/23 – 161.8 – Well, got my leaves done and my arms are sore but it’s not showing up yet.
10/24 – 161.6 – Stressful morning yesterday and then had grocery shopping and a bunch of errands to do – not a good combination. Did quite well on the shopping but as I’m looking everywhere for manure for my garden project and not finding it, I notice traditional Halloween candies on sale. I love molasses and haven’t seen them for a number of years so of course bought them. After eating 10-15 over the rest of the day, I threw them out. They didn’t even taste that good. So it was a win in that I did not stow them away and end up eating them all (it was a fairly large bag intended for Halloween treats). I should have just walked away and thought, “I don’t like or need that.”

10/15 148.6 MadisonMolly2017 You're losing so consistently, it's very inspiring.

10/16 147.8 It's a meeting day, so I have to go in prepared. Some of you post you TOMs. Why is that? Does your weight fluctuate?

10/17 149.4 I gorged on vegetables before my meeting so I wouldn't be tempted with the chips and chocolates. I resisted!!!! yay me! My anxiety was up, but I resisted. I did go over on my calories a little bit and had a lot of salt. I can bring this down by drinking lots of water when I get home. I can't drink at work.

10/18 148.8 I made an amazing tandoori chicken on the grill last night. My sons are eager to start eating healthy too, so I'm motivated to cook really healthy foods.

10/22 150.1 feeling totally defeated. Thanks, @quiltinjaine I'll look at the video when I get home. Maybe it's that I'm frustrated because of my shoulder issues, maybe I'm hormonal, definitely I'm feeling sorry for myself and need to get over it. I'll try for a better day.

10/23 149.0 Followed my eating plan and had over 10,000 steps. Feel so much better after eating healthy and drinking lots of water. I won't get to my goal this round, but I'm learning a lot about myself. I

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

10/21- 185.7- This will go down more tomorrow. I'm sure of it.

10/22- 184.8- slow and steady. will do the same thing today and hopefully it'll keep going lower. I'll try to end in 183.something by being under calories today and tomorrow. Not quitting or taking a break until I get to 180.0 this time. Can't keep relapsing.

10/23- 184.5- Will continue to stay under today and hopefully we'll have at least a 1 pound total loss by tomorrow. Kinda bummed out that I didn't get to my goal, but I ate badly those few days that led to the upwards fluctuation so you reap what you sow. Will not do this again and I am determined to get to 180 and won't stop until it's done. Hopefully by the next round.

10/24- 184.7- Not sure why this didn't go down more since I didn't eat over yesterday but at least I didn't end over my SW. I'm going to work really hard in the next challenge. I NEED to get to 180. I don't like being static like this. At least I didn't have a lot of sodium like last time right before my weigh-in though lol

10/15 / 152.4 / oh lordy how did I get here!? lol, onward! I know, thanks to my friends very full length pic of me!

10/16 / day 2 feeling good! No broken rules yet!

10/17 / day 3 challenging day at work so no lunch/no gym time : ( then starving at home but chose smartly (10 almonds) on my way to bus stop...no stuffing mouth with whatever I found in fridge (that's a WIN for me). Then normal dinner. Still no snacking after 7p! I almost broke the no ex. rule but found a way to sneak in a dog walk, albeit in a freak hail storm, behind my daughters dance studio..I should get an Oreo for that! Just kiddin. On my way to 130...I can almost taste it! ha, I kill me!

10/18 / day 4 getting on the scale today after my 30 in 30 class at noon!! fingers crossed!--> UPDATE DRUM ROLL....148.6 (-3.8)...ringing the bell!!! So happy, but cautious. This is the incentive I needed to make it thru the weekend. Football (GO SPARTANS and BILLS!!!) and 1st Halloween party . Good luck to everyone facing similar potentially ruff situs!

10/19 / day 5/ 148.4 ...frivolous Friday!! BRING IT! No broken rules.

10/20 / day 6/ ...Football (GO SPARTANS!)/Halloween party!... PARTY - 2 beers and 1 GF brownie which was (oh lordy..so good!). For the day +40c/+40sugar/+16carbs and 2 broken rules!! 1. I did not exercise, unless cheering at the SPARTANS game counts!, and 2. I ate after 7p...the party started at 7p! Still I felt good about the day..mainly cause the SPARTANS lost BUT the score was 13 14..which for us, is amazing!! What a great way to end the season...BILLS?...not so much.

10/21 / day 7...back at it. No broken rules. Feeling good!

10/22 / day 8 - time is flying. Gonna jump on the scale at lunch (after workout). I'm a bit nervous. 149 - I'm good with that.

10/23 / day 9 148.6 I feel great. Energy level is up, back pain down , spirit is up! Woooo! My not so great Sat nite, is behind me. Looking forward to Round 57. This really made the 10 days fly. Thank you to everyone!!

10/24 / day 10 of 10 ---148.0!! (-4 for the round!!) I never thought logging food/exercise AND my daily feelings? (eek! so not me) would help but I think it really did. I hope round #57 kicks off tomorrow. It will for me! Hope to see everyone returning and some newbies! Thanks again for all the support and to @GrandmaJackie!

ROUND 56 (Round 3 for me)
5’5” 65 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
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.
10/21 167.6 I may have to buy a new scale. I feel cheated. Oh, well. I had to get an early start and meet the gospel group I sing with for a couple of engagements today. I can walk tomorrow morning, and, perhaps, the scale will behave better in a couple of days. If I don’t get better numbers before the end of the round—out it goes!
10/22 166.8 Okay, my scale is back on track and has earned a reprieve. 😊 Thor and I are heading out for our walk in the cool, fall air.
10/23 165.8 Obviously, my scale is scared. I weighed 3 times, just in case the reading might change. Thor and I increased our walk to 4 miles yesterday. I hope Thor’s up to running with me, because after our walks increase to 5 miles, we’re going to start C25K. I can hardly wait!
10/24 165.2 I still may need a new scale—it was a little squirrelly this morning. I knew the first reading was too low. I reweighed several times, and this number came up 3 times, so I’m going with this one. I’m pleased with my finish for this round, down 4 lb. My 6'3" husband has experienced stomach issues the last few years, and I outweighed him--totally unacceptable. I'm under his weight now, but I still have goals to meet. It's tricky trying to fatten him up while slimming me down. I've been good about ignoring his snacks. Well, I did eat one M&M last night. I wanted to walk this morning, but not in the rain. Thor wouldn’t mind, but I’m a wimp in the rain. So, I reviewed the burn basics on my Chalean Extreme strength training DVD set. I don’t want to hurt myself by lifting improperly. Praying this was a good, or at least enlightening, round for each of you. See you in Round 57!

@FarmerCarla When I was having a problem with Morton’s neuroma the doctor gave me a metatarsal pad for my foot/shoe. It cleared on its own. @tiabirdie56 Mine was probably 20 years ago too! My how time flies.

Thanks for the tip. I immediately went to Amazon and ordered some recommended pads. I should know by next week if they help. Keeping my fingers crossed!
