Age - 50
Height 167 cm

SW: 66.2 kg (145.9 lbs.)
GW for Round 58: 63.7 kg (140.4 lbs.)
Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 65.1 kg (143.5 lbs.).
11/05 - 66.2 kg (145.9 lbs.). +2 kg over a weekend, logical result of 3000+kcal yesterday. Jillian Michaels in the morning. Plan for today: 3km walk during the lunch break and Jillian Michaels in the evening. Hope these 2 kg will disappear in a couple of days
11/06 - 65.2 kg (143.7 lbs.). -1 kg. 7km run in the morning. Planning to do “six-pack in 6 weeks” in the evening. Want to see my 64 kg again asap.
11/07 - 65.0 kg (143.3 lbs.).
11/08 - 64.6 kg (142.4 lbs.). Did “six-pack in 6 weeks” yesterday evening. 7km run in the morning.
11/09 - 64.2 kg (141.5 lbs.). Jillian Michaels in the morning + 10 min AB ATTACK with Shaun T.
11/10 - 63.7 kg (140.4 lbs.). SO HAPPY!!! I’ve never seen this figure on my scales. May be I was in this weight at the time we didn’t have scales at home. I have my menu for the weekend. And I will keep to it. I even squeezed in a couple of non-alcoholic beers (thanks’ God in Germany even non-alcoholic beer tastes) and a glass of wine for Sunday. And I am planning a big “freestyle” for today (a kind of intervals – walking + running) although the weather is not great. But it is only a matter of right clothes! LOOK FOLL! THINK BEFORE EATING SOMETHING THAT SEEING YOUR SCALES SLAP-HAPPY CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH A PIECE OF CAKE. This I wrote for myself in the first place. Svetlana be consistent!
11/11 - "KG" girls already here. "LBS" ones still sleeping. 63.2 kg (139.3 lbs.). It is too much… Did “six-pack in 6 weeks”. Will not go to the scales. Don’t want to see below 63. Now a breakfast. Thinking to go to thermae, but not yet sure

Hi all! I'm going to give this another try. Was here a while ago for a few rounds but gave up because I kept losing and gaining the same 5lbs. I should have stayed because now I've kept those 5lbs on and added a few more 🙁
Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 258.8...not happy to be up to this again but it is what it is. Starting back on plan today, and no more excuses.
11/05 - 257.8...stayed under calories, 45 mins of exercise..gave a beginner's yoga YouTube video a try and learned that I'm super tight and not flexible at all! 100oz of water and no soda..I've decided to cut it out entirely.
11/06 - 255.8...stayed on plan, 30min walk and 100oz of water. Glad to know that some of my gain was water weight!
11/07 - 253.4..yay! So actually most of it was water weight 😀
11/08 - 251.2...surprised to see this number already, I'm sure I will probably stick around here for a couple of days. Very happy with it though.
11/09 - 250.6...starting to slow down now, so I guess all the water is finally gone. I had take out chicken strips for supper, which wasn't great, but I kept it within calories and didn't binge!!
11/10 - 249.6...woohoo!! Back to my lowest in July. My mind seems to be in the right place now and I don't think I'll get stuck here again. I've been reminding myself everyday (multiple times) that I control what I eat, not my cravings and I can still eat what I want as long as it fits into plan.
11/11 - 248.6...was suppose to go out of town yesterday but went outside to load up and found a completely flat tire. Took the whole day for my SO to get it in somewhere..sat and long weekend so most things were closed. So my son and I spent the whole day inside, and holy did I crave because I was bored!! Managed to not give in, but it was hard. Will be going out of town today for the night, not sure if I'll have a scale tomorrow or not.

Back again! Just noticed yesterday (goal date) I was under my second short term goal weight despite the slight stall - so even though I've felt really "behind" in my journey I think I've found my patience again and I'm happy where I'm at.R38 SW 212.6 GW 210 EW 207.4 (-5.2)11/04 - Sunday - 179.6 - NSV on Saturday - went to moms to clean and help her unpack. She wanted to order from the pizza place (she has healthy habits so tends to use me as an excuse to "celebrate") but I said no thanks and had tuna and a salad! Then on Sunday - daylight savings morning was slow, lazy, and snuggly and I loved it. Went out running errands in the afternoon. Started a pot roast and headed out to clean up the yard. DH used to leaf blower, I raked up big piles, and we moved the tarp together for about 2 hours, but about 1 hour of active raking. I didnt eat enough protein in the day so I was super snacky after dinner but I managed to reign it in.

UGW: 155ish - by April 2019
11/05 - Monday - 179.2 - A loss on a Monday?!!!?! Look what happens when I stay accountable on the weekends! Woohoo! Need to pick up a short list of things at the store before heading home after work. Milk, coffee, and shampoo. I want to make a crustless quiche tonight for breakfasts for the week, we got some yummy ham at the farm. Fish oil habit is coming back around and I started taking elderberry extract as everyone is sick! 10 minutes of yoga is also turning into a habit! Feels good to take care of myself!
11/06 - Tuesday - 179.4 - Munchies hit me last night but I did a decent job managing with just 6 chips and a fruit leather. I filled half my plate with broccoli at dinner and tried to fill up on that because I knew I was starving but didnt want to binge on pasta - needed more protein though which was apparent when the munchies hit me at like 8:30 - all good things to learn from though. Busy at work - reminding myself that I do better is most aspects of my life with MORE STRUCTURE. That includes work, health, finances, relationships. My morning habits are becoming solid again, I made sure to hang up all laundry last night, I've got several dinners ready to go, stress management has been improving - I'm finding my rhythm again!
11/07 - Wednesday - 178.6 - Feeling great! Saw a quote, "Non attachment is self love" speaking in regards to our ever changing body. Especially as women. I'm on this journey to better health, but I'm trying to love my body at every stage. I think for me, it's a huge part of this process, to learn healthy body image and self love. I've come a long way - I'm appreciating that my body is strong, gets me through each day relatively pain free, allows me mobility to do, go, see, be whatever I want to be! And the end goal being to get pregnant, I'm really trying to wrap my mind around "non-attachment as self love" because this body of mine is going to be changing thru many seasons and I want to love and appreciate all of those stages, not just an end result.
11/08 - Thursday - 177.8 - Wooooh! Wrapping my head around these 170's is a trip! I slipped on my newer size 10 jeans this morning after their first wash and dry thinking they would be snug but they were not! I saw myself in the mirror and did a double take. I checked out my weekly stats on the app yesterday and noticed how much a difference CONSISTENCY makes for me. I'm losing consistently because my calories, macros, and habits have all been consistent for the first time since middle of August basically. It looked like I held on to my habits for dear life thru the move, but then got confused while settling in and lost touch with that idea of consisitency - my days were high cal then very low cal on repeat - like a binge and restrict on a smaller scale but definitely being mindful of that behavior so I can pick up on it quicker in the future. I'm starting to feel like a healthy person! My mini mini goal is to be 175 by thanksgiving.
11/09 - Friday - 177.8 - Ate lunch out yesterday - chose a shrimp burger and a green side salad! Skipped appetizer, skipped dessert! Still felt heavy from "lighter" dining out choices so we had raviolis for dinner instead of the planned chicken fried steak. I managed to bring breakfast and pack lunch despite wanting to do otherwise. Dog is off to daycare today and already got her toe nails trimmed. It's Friday and I'm feeling good! Want to stay on track this weekend - also want to order out tonight - haha forever searching for that balance. But thats why I packed breakfast and lunch - I know I struggle on Friday nights, and usually when I don't statisfy a Friday craving - it turns into a weekend long snack search for what I really wanted. So 80/20 rule is in full effect this weekend! Happy Friday everybody!
11/10 Saturday - 178.2 - pretty sure i have swimmers ear. Did some comfort eating because of it last night. Need to make it thru the weekend and making a doctors appointment first thing Monday. Off to pick up the wood stove today. I'll eat my smoothie before i leave, and drink water! Need to take care of myself so i dont feel worse!
11/11 - Sunday - 178.6 - successfully picked up the stove! Successfully drank 1.5 L of water. Managed my ear pain well, plan to do the same today but will definitely still go to the doc Monday as I dont want to mess around, i love my hearing. Made some yummy bbq pulled chicken, meant to have just a bowl plain but comfort ques set in again and I made a quesadilla. I also ran yesterday. I didnt want to but i had to lol but i felt really good after! Another road trip for another craigslist find today - so i need to prelog and have some forthought to my eating if its gonna be a long day away. Rambling, bye!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/4 - 177 - I think I'm back to 176.6. I'm going to visit my littles today, so I got up early to make them some macaroni and cheese. I started drinking my coffee before I realized that I hadn't weighed yet.
11/5 - 175.2 - Ooookay. 🤔 I did eat macaroni and cheese and a salad with a burger my son cooked. Then a treat size bag of pretzels 😏 and a mini twix that my Grandson gave me from his Halloween pumpkin. He got SO excited telling me about trick or treating. He's two, so you can imagine.
11/6 - 177.4 - I guess my weight will just swing wildly through the 170's. Nothing to do but be patient and wait it out.
11/7 - 177.4
11/8 -176.4 - Well, well. I said that it would be a wild ride through the 170's. I looked back to the end of September, when my weight dropped to this decade. From 179.6 to 175.2 and all weights in between, multiple times in some cases. Twenty pounds ago, I knew the 170's would hang on for a while. Back in 2003 I weighed 175lbs on my way to 150lbs, although I looked about 150, lean and strong. I was a beast with exercise back then, 2 or 3 hours daily. I would love to be that strong again. Too many injuries.😣
11/9 - 175.4 - Went to bed at 5am. If not for me helping my girlfriend with a project once again, I'm sure I would have lain in bed awake all night anyway. A very soul wrenching day for me yesterday. She was who I needed to talk out my frustrations and anger with and keep my hands busy and mind distracted. Love her❤
11/10 - 176.6
11/11 - 177.4 - over carbs (tomato soup & pretzels😏) and a hastily made late night keto hot chocolate.

I spend five hours yesterday at the dog show (BIG 5-day show here each Nov.) and walked miles. I used to show my dogs, and it was great to see lots of people I haven't seen since we moved away 9 years ago, and to smooch with lots of dogs. I got a thorough going over from Lily when I got home!

Bouncy bouncy - maybe partly due to weighing in 2 hours earlier than usual. I'm using the shift back to standard time to get myself out of bed earlier - we'll see if it sticks. I planted 100 bulbs yesterday, just in time for the rain.

I'm so glad I get to add back tomatoes next week - it's turned cold and I'm hungry for chili & spaghetti (not together
).
11/08 - 133.2 - 1665 - 10-day ave 1293
Very sad day yesterday as we said farewell to our lovely Labby girl, Lily. In her younger days she was my competition partner (earned advanced titles in obedience, rally, tracking) and volunteer therapy work with children in schools and the library. She was my husband's walking partner, a calendar girl, my cuddler, and a stand-up lie-down comedian, often upstaging me at book signings. She was healthy until 2 weeks ago - lymphoma is a monster. So I ate a bunch of extra calories (nuts & fruit) and thought my weight would be up this morning, but got a surprise. Maybe Lily ran it off for me. I know she's running now at the Rainbow Bridge with all the other dogs & cats & horses of my life.
11/09 - 133.6 - 1439 - 10-day ave 1315
Snow! Not much, but our first snow of the season. Makes me want nice hot soups and chili and stuff I can't have yet on this elimination/add back program. Soon! Have a good weekend, all.
11/10 - 133.6 - 1365 - 10-day ave 1316
Brrr - it's cold here today, but I'm planning to bundle up and go for a walk by the river anyway. I need to stop wimping out (though I'm still adjusting to northern Indiana after 8 years on the southern NC coast!). Or maybe I'll write, knit, paint, read, nap instead.
11/11 - 133.6 - 1364 - 10-day ave 1336
Acc. to MFP, my maintenance calories pre-exercise are ~1400, and acc. to SailRabbit, 1337, so somewhere in that range seems about right, and seems to click with what's happening this week (I haven't been exercising, and my stress level is high). Nice to know the calculators are fairly reliable. I've promised myself that I will get back to the exercise program this week.

I don't have high expectations for November - this is usually when I say to heck with it and start gaining it all back, so if I can maintain that would be a big improvement. ( btw, according to my son, heck is where you get danged to if you don't believe in Gosh)

11/7 175.6
11/8 176 - very late getting in here today. Expected more of a bump than that as I did not track or exercise yesterday, I knew it was going to be a busy day so I bought a frozen meal - it was very disappointing - bland and not at all filling - I felt cheated and ended up "compensating" with junk. Back on track today.

11/4 - 146.5 - We had family over for dinner last night and I definitely ate over maintenance. It will probably show up tomorrow.
11/5 - 148 - Here's the mulled wine, spinach lasagna, meatball, caprese salad, garlic bread...and a small slice of carrot cake from Saturday. Although I don't regret the food and wine from Saturday, I'm so glad I'm aware enough now to not eat like that every weekend.
11/6 - 147 - Glad to see some of the gain was from sodium. I took the day off work today for a medical test later this morning. I dropped off our new dog for training/doggie day care today and then I stopped and voted. I can tell the anxiety for the upcoming test is making me want to snack while I wait to go in. I'll be good though, snacking is not going to change anything but my weight.
11/7 - 147 - All things considered I did well with my eating yesterday, but not much movement. Back to work today and getting my steps in.
11/8 - 148 - Ouch, that Saturday meal is really going to haunt me this week. I've been eating well and got my steps and water in yesterday, so I know this will eventually drop again.
11/9 - 145.5 - Wow, I'm actually a little skeptical, but the first 2 times I weighed it said 144.5. It hit the 145.5 the next 2 times so that's what I'm going with. We had our first snow here in NE Ohio this morning and it was so much fun watching our new dog go crazy over it. Of course with the snow comes thoughts of rich, creamy soups, toasty bread, and warm pies. I'm going to be good this weekend because I'll be indulging in all these things in a couple weeks.
11/10 - 146.5 - High sodium evening meal last night. I hope I do better for tomorrow's weigh in.
11/11 - 145.5 - I made some really good eating choices yesterday, so I'm happy to see this number.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 71kg kg No plan the last few days, so this isn't suprising. Actually, reading back, I overindulged most days in the last round.
I have no real plan for this round as I'll be traveling and settling in. I will buy food&body scales, find a gym, running routes and a routine for lunches etc in this round. It is frustrating that just 10 days have undone the last few weeks, but I will not let that discourage me.
11/05 - 71kg Finished my 5-10k programme - about 1.5 months later than originally planned, but it's done now. Will start a new programme this week, once I determined when and where I can run.
No logging today or tomorrow due to travel.
11/06 - kg No scales Travel day
11/07 - kg No scales First day in new job
11/08 - kg No scales
11/09 - kg No scales
11/10 - kg No scales
11/11 - kg No scales - Alright, I'm now settled enough to get back on it. I've not logged or weighed myself since Monday. My first days in my new home and job have been great. But food, exercise and logging are challenging. Things are labelled in KJ, there is a lot of non-labelled food, many things are quite unhealthy with hydrogenated fat and added sugars. I have neither a food or body scale yet or a full body mirror, but will hopefully get at least the body scales next week when i start driving and will be able to go to a bigger shopping mall.
I will start logging again tomorrow, there will be a lot of estimations until I have a food scale, but even if the calories aren't correct, logging will stop me from snacking so much. Drinking enough water isn't an issue as I'm constantly thirsty - i've already finished a 10l canister at home.
I have devised an exercise plan I can do at home for now, I have yet to buy a yoga mat for floor exercise I'd like to add. I tried to run on Fri and had to stop after 1km as it was too hot and breathing was hard due to heat (around 30C and no breeze) and altitude, i went from pretty much sea level to 1300m/4250ft. I also fought a cold until Fri, mainly from the flight, but that's luckily gone now.
I plan to get into a routine with early morning exercise and running from next week. I don't move nearly as much as in London and get stared at for walking to the office, which only around 1km. It is also hard not to keep myself busy with snacking, so i'm quite worried about gaining and feel like i already have. It's dark by 7pm so everything happens before then and the evenings are spent at home. Obviously, this will change once I meet more people to hang out with, find a gym and start driving.
Today i'm not doing anything, already walked to the shops to buy water and something to cook, had pasta for an early lunch and will have left overs for dinner. I went out last night with a work colleague and met loads of nice people, but it became quite boozy, so also no exercise today. Would love to go for a walk, but it's so dusty and hot, no breeze or shade, so i'll give that a miss. Maybe i'll do some squats while watching something.

11/04 147.4 Have a great round everyone!
11/05 WEIGH IN DAY 146.8 Amazing! Super stoked to be back on the downward trend!
11/06 148 Oops. Over by 1000 calories yesterday. Had a mini melt-down when I did a head count for our Thanksgiving dinner that we are hosting and came up with 50 adults. Today is a new day, making the triple threat cuke-pars-lemon water and will get rid of this bloat and headache. Just another lesson being human, not perfect, just me. "@tlgale we've all been there
, just remember when you do go off the rails, a lot of the pounds you see on the scale are water retention from increased carbs/sodium. To gain a pound of fat you need to eat 3500 calories over maintenance, not just over your MFP calorie goal. One or two bad days of eating doesn't make you fat, one or two good days of eating doesn't make you thin, it's what you do most of the time that matters."
11/07 146.6 Pizza bloat is gone, whew! We order pizza about once a month when I don't feel like cooking, and it definitely does not make my body feel good.
11/08 145.8 Good day yesterday, walked, hydrated, ate to make my body feel good. Got to cut back on the protein bars though, they are back in my life again and though they fit in my day they are still processed foods. Bad news is I ordered a bulk pack and so here they sit...Can I admit I am so happy to be back on the downhill? Not really sure why I stalled there for a month and a half at 149. I think I had a belief in my head that a lower weight was too hard to maintain, but looking back, I didn't know what I know now about macros and CI/CO, that's why it was so hard. I had lost previously on weight watchers, plus I was a distance runner, not eating any exercise "points" and carb heavy/vegetarian. No wonder I was starving all the time!
11/09 145.6 Wow really great losses this round! I guess I was ready! Now I need to start doing some more intentional exercise, specifically get the glutes activated! Fires in the area have the air quality awful again, so inside work only.
11/10 147.6 Deserve this after a late night grilled cheese and some cake, but it was worth it! I'll post photos later of the cake I made for my nephew's birthday, it turned out super cute, but I had to eat some of the "waste" since it was chocolate and whipped cream with crushed oreos, my personal cryptonite! Oreos are forbidden usually in my house due to my weakness for them, but I was the instigator this time. We are not walking the hill due to super smokey air here in California, so sad to see all this fire again! NSV- lost some inches with this last little weight drop, my sister told me I looked skinny, my husband told me not to get too skinny...love the external validations!!!
11/11 148.2 Ayi ayi ayi! Can I drop back to 145.?? by the end of the round?? Going to try my hardest! Here's a photo of the cake and my adorable nephew! He's half Polish half Spanish, adorable little imp!

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 177.2 My body seems to like this number, even if I don’t. Yesterday I felt so strong and capable and that made sticking to plan and getting in my steps very easy. I am starting today also feeling strong and confident so I’m hoping I can get through all those inevitable temptations. Tomorrow is a different story. I will be traveling out of town to celebrate my daughter’s 24th birthday with a movie, a restaurant and some shopping. I will stick to plan before and after the excursion but I will ultimately enjoy the middle as we celebrate. I will try not to go overboard, but carbs add up quickly. I will be bringing home fresh parsley, cucumber and lemons for the “triple threat” concoction to offset any water bloat from the birthday lunch.
11/05 - 177.2 Great day again yesterday. Stayed with plan yet no budge on the scales. Ugg. Travel today a couple of hours away to a real Mall (that is a luxury for me!) Lots of things to experience today. I will be off plan but I will try to be reasonable. Have a great week everyone!
11/06 -179.0 Enjoyed the trip but stayed way longer than expected due to shopping. Multiple restaurant meals. The only NSV was that I managed to skip some pretty tempting desserts and just stick to meals. The movie “A Star is Born” was very good. I saw the remake in the 1970’s and it is a bit different. Lady Gaga is a phenomenal actress! And who thought she could only sing and play the piano? Bradley Cooper was excellent, as usual. I loved my time with my daughter. Since she had the baby last fall, we have not got to get away very often for fun out-of-town things. It was very nice. Tomorrow and Thursday is more travel. This is going to be a very bad round for me. I’m going to have to try to do my best but it won’t be good.
11/07 - 178.6 Was at home yesterday so I have a loss this morning. I do well at home sticking to my plan. My exercise has been way down in the past month since the cold. With no livingroom (renovation continues) I only have my work movement. That is a lot, but not continual like exercise. I hope to get moving again soon, even if it’s just marching in place I will be leaving in a few for another out of town trip to find a home depot and order carpet installation and utility room flooring. Have a great hump day everyone!
11/08 - 179.6 Ugg. However, I found my carpet and ordered the in home measuring. Also found the flooring for the utility room. Home depot has free installation right now. The Chinese food is likely retaining water from yesterday. More travel today for the injections in my head for the hair loss. About 100 miles each way from home. I will work on the bloat tomorrow after a brief trip (about 30 miles each way) to the vet clinic with my 18 ½ yr old kitty. She has a bad cold and it’s time for a senior check-up anyway. It will be nice to be home when all of this is done!
11/09 - 180.2 OMgosh. Out of town again yesterday to the Dermatologist and then home just in time for the Pool Hall & Potluck. Off to the Vet today with Reeces my kitty. It will be a straight there & back trip and because she’ll be with me, there will be no temptation to stop and eat. I’ll be doing Tish’s triple threat water today for the bloat. I will be working on this damage all weekend and catch up on all the posts which I know is always inspiring and informative. 1-4 inches of snow expected today. I’m a little nervous for this first wintry drive in a year. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
11/10 - 179.6 Vet appointment turned out so-so. Reeces the cat’s bloodwork showed slight elevations in her BUN (kidney) and one of her liver numbers. She needs a recheck in two months. Everything else turned out good including her teeth. She had to be sedated for the bloodwork so they got a pretty good look in her mouth. Overall, not bad for her age. We tried to catch Ruby the Chicken for the past couple of days but she keeps getting away, then going back up in the tree. About 2 inches of snow on the ground now. We contacted the closest farm who agreed she is probably theirs, but they’ve made no attempt to help. I talked to the vet yesterday who does housecalls on the farms. He said to throw a medium weight blanket over her to catch her. We may try that today if I can get help. I am sad to lose her, but it is in her best interest. Happy with the scale this morning. I drank Tish’s triple threat water yesterday evening and stayed with plan. I felt pretty strong.
11/11 -177.6 Whoosh. Gone is the water weight. So, so much easier when I am at home. Not that there are not temptations, but it just feels like there is no food that I can’t easily have some other time. Away from home or on the Thursday potlucks are just tough, tough, tough because it feels like a “missed opportunity” to eat new things. I am going to try some of the ideas I’ve been given and mailed, and I’m going to try to consider seeing better choices when out of town as a “missed opportunity” to become stronger, healthier and more successful.

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.
11/4 131.0 I have not been drinking enough water the last couple of days. Cooler temps (yesterday a high of 80) make it more difficult for me to remember.
11/5 130.0 Got in almost 3 qts of water. Made a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich (on keto 90 second bread with almond flour) at 11AM and wasn’t hungry all day. Needed more protein so had a Premier Protein shake at 8PM. Meeting Amy at the gym at 2.
11/6 130.0 Didn’t get to the gym, tweaked something in my back or neck eating lunch! Now I’m wearing the C-collar again.
11/7 129.0 Yesterday I voted, got my flu shot and spent almost an hour at the gym with my friend. After our workout we stood in the parking lot planning our visits until Thanksgiving. What has happened to us? We are looking forward to our gym time?!?
11/8 130.5 Carbs and salt! I knew it was going to happen. I was mad at myself because I haven’t mastered my new HRM and it didn’t record most of my workout yesterday. We went to Golden Corral for dinner - conveniently located right next door to the gym. Early bird special. Going to breakfast this morning. Typing in the car.
11/9 130.5 Carl is asleep in the living room so I did not make my BPC. I hate open floor plans for that reason! Too much kitchen noise everywhere! My workout buddy had to cancel so my couch potato self only had 2600 steps yesterday!
11/10 131.0 Up too early! DH is “sleeping” in the living room because he can’t get comfortable anywhere.
11/11 131.0 Went to friends’ 55th anniversary dinner at a supposed to be great steakhouse. The steak (Porterhouse) was okay, the taste of mashed potatoes and from scratch creamed corn were MEH. I ate 2 dinner rolls but they weren’t as good as the ones I make. We had such an outstanding steak place in the small town we lived in in Colorado (Mobile 5 star) the bar has been set too high for others. Sadly, when “our” generation retired a couple of years ago the younger generation didn’t want to keep it going. The steaks were so tender they didn’t even have steak knives!10 -

Round 58
11/04 150 time for me to start taking this more serious especially on the days that I do not have a gathering because with the holidays coming up there will be a ton of temptations. Also need to do it for my body, I just feel yucky lately and I know it's the foods.
11/05 150 Went over yesterday on all my macros and didn't get enough exercise in. Gonna be a better day today:)
11/06 150 Yesterday was a much better day. Stayed under on my macros but did end up eating back half of my exercise calories.
11/07 149.5 yay now lets not creep back up this round. LNS got me last night, and I creeped into the candy lol. Had fun size pieces, but those calories add up too!
11/08 149 getting lots of exercise in and water today because I didn't eat so great for lunch today.
11/09 149 I did stay out of sugary candies yesterday so only ate half my daily sugar intake, which is great for me. I can't believe Thanksgiving is here in 2 weeks! This year really has flown.
11/10 149 Forgot to post
11/11 149 Holding steady. I really want to try a meal plan to stick to. Currently I have added breads back into my diet. As of today, cutting the bread out again. Also, thinking of doing either the Whole 30 plan or keto starting 2019. Both would be difficult for me mainly because I love fruits which I can have on whole 30 but I can't have dairy such as yogurt. On keto I can't have fruits, and I love my fruits. Hmm.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/04- Couldn't weigh in this morning because I was at grandmother's house! I did go to a wedding party yesterday but half of my plate was salad and I only had a little bit of rice. The rest was sabzi (cooked spinach) and protein. Pretty proud of controlling myself tbh. Nonetheless, rice does make me retain water so maybe weight went slightly up (but I don't feel guilty at all because I haven't had rice in a while so I'm proud of myself and being reasonable!). Had a light salad for lunch which was satiating, delicious, and calorie-appropriate so will be under calories today so hopefully that'll help undo any damage due to yesterday but we'll see. Won't beat myself up if not, but staying focused the next few days.
11/05- 183.5- There it is lol. Staying focused today. Maybe we can make this go down tomorrow.
11/06- 184.5- Had to rush this morning. I don't think this is accurate. We'll see tomorrow!
11/07- 183.0- That major fluctuation scared me. Happy that it's a bit better. Was not rushed this morning so I have a healthy lunch and everything. Got a lot of studying to do. I think this should go down tomorrow. I feel in control. Also did HIIT yesterday. It felt really good. It was easy and at home. Will try to do this every night.
11/08- No weigh in
11/09- 184.0- Ugh. I've been eating not as well this challenge. Just kind of doing maintenance. I'm going to stop this and begin to follow the exact meals that I did a while ago when I was losing weight.
11/10- No weigh in
11/11- 184.0- have been feeling really off this whole week since Wednesday. I was in a mindset that I haven't been in for a long time. The mindset of "Well, I already messed up. Today won't make a difference either" and I've been in that mindset my whole life. It's basically what got me to my high weight. I kept messing the day up early in the day. But I feel good today. I think I'm getting over it. I have been eating good all day so far and I haven't been doing that the past few days so I think I'm over it. And I feel so much better.

Height 5‘6“
Round 58 - SW 175.6, EW - let’s see what good habits bring...
Didn‘t get Saturday posted last night, so here it is... And the scale‘s down a bit again today — steady habits create the results... I missed my circuit training this morning — too sick with this stupid cold, but it‘s nice to have a workout that i like so much i truly miss it. I‘m happy to be focusing on fitness again... Round 58 - Nov 4-13, 2018: SW 175.6 EW ???
HW: 213
LW: 148
CW: 175
UGW: 150-155
I was heaviest in late 90‘s/early 2000‘s, when I couldn‘t tie my shoes or walk around the little league field without losing my breath, it was time to change.
Lost 65 pounds over several years w/WW, SparkPeople, Beck Diet Solution (life changing!!!), MFP, Body for Life (and many more fitness books) and tracking diligently and working out. Became passionate about fitness and earned my trainer certification.
Fittest in 2009/2010/2011. Then a few years of curve balls: donated a kidney to my husband, had hip surgery, gained 10#, cared for my husband and lost him, moved half-way across the country with my job, job sucked (60-80-100 hour weeks), gained 20#, bought a house, found a new job last year, lost 10#.
Time to lose 10 or 20 more and have fun with fitness again... If you‘ve read this far, thanks for indulging my rambling...
Commitment for 10 days:
1 - track every day... I’ll log calories/macros here to keep me honest (gulp!)
2 - working out: No more pushing until after the virus — new goal: 30’ of something/anything every daytwo red and two amber sessions...
I use the HeartWatch app and it’s colors for level of intensity are:
....... warmup/health
....... fat burn
....... building fitness
....... high intensity workouts
...Doing dates upside down so I keep the end in sight...
Date ** Weight ** Nutrition ** Exercise
T 11/13 - what will i weigh if i track and workout consistently? how will i feel?!?!
M 11/12
S 11/11 175.2
S 11/10 174.8 ** 1767 44/21/35 ** easy walk with the dog and heavy house cleaning.... Mostly in the warmup/health range, some in the fat burning range. But given that I‘m all stuffed up w/minimal energy, I‘ll take it :-). Without this challenge, I‘d have given up and laid on the couch. With this challenge, I‘m closing my apple activity rings every day, despite having a cold. And I‘m still tracking and I‘m eating better... I‘ll take it...
F 11/09 174.4 ** 1722 53/21/26 ** 30’ walk with the dog wow - thought i was taking it easy - the body truly does work harder when there‘s a virus in play too!! Also some light house cleaning and lots of couch time to rest... BONUS — I was still able to close all my apple-watch-fitness rings even being sick - woohoo!! I‘m still on track for closing them every day in November
T 11/08 176 ** 1741 50/22/28 ** rolling & stretching, walking the dog. Needed a good restorative workout after yesterday’s dorky class left me oddly sore. Gotta revise my warm up for next Wednesday’s class...
Revived an old habit — tracking my food before the day starts so I know I‘m on track... ended with better results for calories and macros - now we‘ll see what the scale says tomorrow...
W 11/07 175.6 ** 1856 48/20/32 core workout class
Glad to see the scale drop today - must have been sodium yesterday... New workout class this morning - sort of dorky but I’ll stick with it for 6 weeks - it will be good for me, lol... and it was a good workout after all :-)
T 11/06 177.0 ** 1599 46/23/31 ** power cleaned the house and walked the dog
UGH!! Up 1.6 this morning - yikes... good motivation to eat cleaner and stick to the calories and macros...
M 11/05 175.4 ** 2183 42/19/39 ** rehab and walked the dog
S 11/04 175.6 ** 1891 47/21/32 ** circuit training class :-)

11/04 193.9 Bloating is awful.
11/05 191.5. I’m happy, but I don’t think this number will stick. It’ll probably go up to 192.x, hover there, and then come down again.
11/06 190. I think this is a woosh, or my body actively trolling me. “You think I’m going to regain that water weight? Well then I’m gonna drop another pound and a half! Deal with it!” I’m happy, but I’m also kind of in shock lol.
11/07 191.3. Knew yesterday’s weight was too good to be true. Oh well. This number is nice too.
11/08 191.3.
11/09 193. Overate yesterday, but most of this water weight I think. Will try to drink a lot of water today and get in a good sweat session.
11/10 192.8 forgot to update.
11/11 191! I had about 300 calories left last night, but listened to my body and decided that I wasn’t hungry. I probably wouldn’t have eaten very well if I did eat something. I tend to mindlessly munch at night.

@OncologyChick Congrats on getting into the normal BMI range.

Round 57: +2.6
SW for Round 58: 189.2 (15.1% BF)
11/04 - 190.6 - Water weight has been killing me the last week or so. Too much sodium. Will make a better effort to be more strict and accountable these next 10 days.
11/05 - 188.6 - Made really good food choices yesterday. Played and walked 18 holes of golf and bowled my Sunday night bowling league. Ended up over 16,000 steps on the day. Will try to make more good choices today and see if the water weight will continue to come off.
11/06 - 188.2 - Continuing the trend the right way. Over 10,000 steps. Had to abbreviate my lift yesterday because I got OKC Thunder tickets for last night's game. A little over on calories compared to my goal, but still comfortably in deficit. Will try to finish my lift today and get my cardio in as well.
11/07 - 185.6 - Boom! Thats what I'm talking about! Had a really good food consumption day and played 2 hours of full court basketball (burned over 1100 calories) and then went and finished my lift from Monday. Going to try to continue making good food choices (have a working lunch at work today with food provided so we will se how that goes). Onward and downward!
11/08 - 186.0 - Had a solid day. Got just over 10,000 steps and a nice lift in (Deadlifts, Lat Pull-Downs, Overhead Press, Bicep Curls and Pec Flys). Ate at a good deficit, even with 4 pieces of pizza at the working lunch. Sodium was a little higher than I like (about 4800 mg). Long distance cardio today and abs (my least favorite workout), but I will try to push through it and have a good eating day.
11/09 - 186.0 - Had a big meal for dinner last night (Mexican), but planned for it with a lighter lunch and breakfast, so I stayed within my calories. Ran 5 miles in 46:09 after dinner for my cardio workout for the day. Hoping to do well today with food as I have another work luncheon. Lifting day today (Squat, Bench, etc.).
11/10 - 188.6 - Terrible day. Had a 3 hour work meeting surrounded by my nemesis, Mexican food and sweets. 1st plate, I made good choices. It was plates 2-5 that were the problem 😔. No discipline whatsoever. Over 3000 calories for those 3 hours. Weighed when I got home and was 8.6 lbs heavier than when I left in the morning. So pissed at myself. But, I picked myself back up, stopped feeling sorry for myself and went and got my lifting workout in last night. Water weight will probably stick with me for a few days, but I'm gonna redouble my efforts instead of derailing my progress by having a pity party. Something for those of you that are just starting out or are not as far along as I have gotten yet, 1 bad meal or day doesn't define you and won't keep you from reaching your goal. Don't catastrophize a bad day. Keep moving forward! Any weight gain you see is temporary, unless you treat it like the world is now over because you were human and fall into a prolonged cycle of bad choices. Just get back on track and all will be well!
11/11 - 186.6 - Got back on track. Did a good job on calories and played almost 2 hours of full court basketball last night (burnt over 1100 calories). Still retaining a bit of water, but that's to be expected. Hoping to see continued progress over the last 2 days of the challenge.
