UGW 130-135
11/14 147.5 woohoo
think I'm finally getting away from the Halloween candy binge . Good luck this round everyone!
11/15 147.5 Got into the cereal yesterday and had taco bake for dinner so my carbs were a little more than I would have liked, and no exercise. I plan to get a good workout in today.
11/16 147.5 Forgot to post
11/17 147.5 Yesterday was an ok day, stayed under but I did splurge on a chocolate frosty and fries from Wendy's. Still under on all my macros. Today's focus is going to be eating light and lots of water because I am feeling really thirsty.
11/18 147 not sure if this number will stay for tomorrow but I like it. Our first Thanksgiving dinner of the season is today.
11/19 147 What?? Was totally surprised to see this today. When I first stepped on the scale it said 146 and I weighed like 3 more times. I ate so much yesterday. I had 1 plate of food (full plate) and 2 desserts. I felt so full but I think it was mainly because I ate foods I have been avoiding for a while like macaroni and cheese. Wednesday will be the next Thanksgiving meal and then of course Thursday. A little nervous of the outcome.
11/20 147 Drank lots of water yesterday, felt like I was relieving water all day. Plan to drink plenty today also and eat light to prepare for the next couple of days of Thanksgiving goodies.
11/21 146.5 Been a super busy day today that I'm just now getting around to posting this. This number will probably go up after today.

Basically wasted the last round by fluctuating up and down instead of focusing on a proper downwards tread. Will stay focused this time. I HAVE to reach the 170s this time. I am determined. No more dilly-dallying.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/14- 182.9- I think this loss would have been even more if it weren't for the birthday cake I had yesterday for my dad's birthday lol. But I did well overall. I'm not mad. And will do better today. Following the plan exactly tonight because there are no birthdays lol.
11/15- 182.6- I did really well last night. Now I just need to do that again tonight. I didn't have time this morning to pack anything except for a small sandwich until dinner but I have everything planned for dinner so it should be fine as long as I stick to it which I plan to. Don't want to go backwards again.
11/16- 183.6- Definitely a fluctuation because I had pasta last night even though it was under my calories. Heavy carbs like white pastas and rice always make me fluctuate. Not worried about it though since I was at deficit. Will probably go down tomorrow.
11/17- 183.5
11/18-184.0
11/19-184.0- been basically maintaining for a couple of days which is fine considering it was the weekend and I used to gain during the weekend but this week I'm getting a loss in for sure. Had a workout today and controlling my eating. Doing everything as planned.
11/20- No weigh in
11/21- 182.8- I've noticed it helps me to weigh myself every two days sometimes. It helps me to stay on track to guarantee myself a loss the next day. So I guess I'll use that as a little trick for when I'm in a rut or something.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/15 - 245lb - up a bit from last few days but not worried. It’s my birthday tomorrow so going to try and keep it light today to allow myself a little indulgence tomorrow and Saturday.
11/16 🎂 birthday 🍰
11/17 -didn’t weigh-
11/18 - 243.5lb - today I stepped on the scales after my birthday dreading what I’d find after chocolates and a takeaway but wasn’t too disappointed. In a way it’s meant I can skip the whole regret and self punishment and just concentrate on this coming week. Back to tracking today and hoping to pull this back on track 💪🏻😊
11/19 - 243.1lb - small down from yesterday but I’ll take it. Had a good day yesterday food wise and feeling in control starting today. I’ve meal planned and am doing my food shop this morning.
11/20 - 243.4 - slight fluctuation today but I created a decent deficit yesterday so I’m not worried. Sometimes I do find the fluctuations and retention frustrating but it seems I am prone to it and then will drop a lb or two at once. My trend has been continuously downwards since I began in September despite the fluctuations so that gives me some reassurance.
11/21- 243.8lb - still fluctuating but today am having a low calorie day so feel in a way at least some of the control will come back in that way. It’s hard when you know that you’re doing it right but you’re retaining for whatever reason. As always I’m following my moving average and that’s still going down. Just frustrating 😩
11/22- 242.5lb - getting closer to my goal now but with only a day more to lose 0.5lb I’m feeling a bit apprehensive whether I will be able to meet it 😬🤞🏻. The plan today is eggs on toast for breakfast, salad for lunch and undecided for dinner yet.
11/23- . -9 -
@SuzyH, Step aerobics, with or without the step. Strengthens all of your lower body, can hold 3lb hand weights or use weighted gloves for upper body. Back in the day, I did step aerobics everyday for an hour. Still my favorite cardio. Youtube- step aerobics workouts.4

Round 59
Svetlana
Age - 50
Height 167 cm
SW: 68.1
Result of Rounds 56+57+58 = - 5.2 kg (-11.5 lbs.).
End of ROUND 58: 63.5 kg (139.9 lbs.)
GW for Round 59: 62 kg (136.7 lbs.)
Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 - 63.1 kg (139.1 lbs.). 7 km run in the morning. Has to do more today as we have a “special” heavy-loaded dinner tonight. Plan a 3 km walk during the lunch break and “six-pack in 6 weeks” before dinner. I wish success to everyone in this round.
11/15 - 63.0 kg (138.9 lbs.). Yesterday mission is completed. Did all my activities and the dinner (1,654 kcal) didn’t affect my weight at all. There is even 100g loss.
11/16 - 62.8 kg (138.5 lbs.). 7 km run in the morning. My body fat % now is below 20% (19.9%); for my age the lowest limit is 17.1%. Only short way to go!
11/17 - 62.6 kg (138.0 lbs.).
11/18 - 62.5 kg (137.8 lbs.). Did my run and walk (13km) yesterday and “six-pack in 6 weeks” today in the morning. Now going to thermal bath for swimming and sauna.
11/19 - 62.0 kg (136.7 lbs.). Not bad!
11/20 - 62.7 kg (138.2 lbs.). I don’t know what the reason is for +0,7kg. May be it’s just a cold weather. Anyway, I ran my 7km in the morning (in 2 tights and 3 shirts + a jacket)
11/21 - 62.2 kg (137.1 lbs.). “Six-pack in 6 weeks” in the morning.
11/22 - 61.9 kg (136.5 lbs.). 7 km run in the morning. According to my TomTom watch my fitness age is 41. So I decided to reset my goal weight to 58,1kg (128lbs) which is “ideal” weight for this age

15/11 Did a half hearted weights session yesterday, not really on form this week, not sure if it's weather or continued after effects of a big weekend. Anyway today's goals are to stay on track calorie wise and get lower body weights' session in
16/11 Had to postpone weight training again, went to a friend's graduation after work, calories were around maintenance so all round not a great day for my goals. However, weight continues to come down, I got 15,000 steps in, Protein was on target and had a very good sleep so it's not all doom & gloom. Today's goal are simply to eat below maintenance and try and get out for a run.
19/11 Felt a bit rundown over the weekend so just did a bit of cardio - rowing on Saturday and a bit of walking/jogging on Sunday, think I have a cold coming on, I've kept calories around maintenance over the weekend and had ridiculous appetite increase which is usually an indicator for me that I'm getting sick along with an increase in my resting heart rate. Rest Day today and aiming to be in my full calorie deficit by the end of the day but will be happy if I come in under maintenance, going to try not to buy anything outside of my planned meals/snacks this week
20/11 Did the grocery shopping yesterday, bought only what was necessary for my week's plan, calories were pretty much on point so happy with yesterday. Today's goals are to stick with my food plan and get a lower body training session in.
21/11 Came in a little under calorie allowance yesterday and got my lower body workout in. Appetite seems to have dropped off a little now at least. Today's goals are to stick to plan again and get an upper body workout in at lunchtime.
Stuck to calories and completed my upper body workout at lunchtime yesterday. Today's goals are to stay on track, I've already done a 6km row in choppy waters today so just want to do a little yoga this evening to stretch everything out.8 -
Last Round was frustrating, with a whoosh at the end. Working on continuing with this downward trend.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Round 58 SW: 258.8 EW: 247.4 (-11.4)
I don't have a set goal for this round but my next mini goal is to be in 230's by the end of the year.
UGW: 165lbs by the end of next year.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 - 247.4...had a good day yesterday, stayed in calories, 100 oz of water and 50 mins of water aerobics.
11/15 - 247.4..early morning weigh and not enough sleep. Still sticking to plan and did water aerobics again yesterday. I knew I would stall a bit this round after such a big loss last round.
11/16 - 247.2...was a good day. Did water aerobics and some walking around while shopping. Was under calories and had 100 oz of water. This is actually the lowest weight I've been since August 2013!! 😀
11/17 - 246.2...woohoo!! I had major cravings for take out food yesterday, but managed to talk myself out of having any! I had moose meat, gravy and a few of my sons oven fries instead..was yummy and within calories.
11/18 - 245.2...no exercise yesterday, spent half of the day looking at houses with my mother and the other half relaxing. I didn't have enough calories eaten by 8pm so I had a tuna sandwich, I don't normally eat that late and didn't expect a loss today.
11/19 - 245.2...stayed within calories yesterday, but had a bit of a cheat day food wise. Took my son to a birthday party and had a couple mini chocolate bars and few bites of cake and we had takeout for supper. Happy that I didn't turn it into an eating frenzy..bit of a nsv for me.
11/20 - 246.6..within calories but by using some of my exercise calories back. 30 min walk and 100oz of water.
11/21 - 246.6..I had a decent day but then I went out to pick up a few things after my son went to bed and had an extreme craving (and I was hungry) for McDonald's. I ended up getting a meal with a milkshake and ate around 9:30 😐. I'm surprised I'm not up this morning. Going to drink lots of water and get back on track today.
11/22 - 246.6..I think my scale is stuck 🤨 lol. I didn't exercise yesterday, but my calories were very low (I just wasn't hungry) and I had 125oz of water. My son is sick and had a fever and cough all night so I didn't get much sleep. Hoping for a drop tomorrow.

My name is Jen. I’ve been sitting at the low 200s for a while now trying everything to get my weight to budge. A great MFP friend suggested this group and so far it’s helping! The weight is still moving at a snails pace but at least it’s moving!

11/14 - Wednesday - 177.6 - I still find myself typing 19X when going to record my weight. My brain cannot fathom that I'm in the 170's! I had a crackpot goal to be 175 before thanksgiving but that seems pretty extreme given its a week away and the end of this round is a day after thanksgiving - yikes! Okay, considering that I think I'll actually aim to maintain this round. Finding a balance between enjoying my favorite holiday guilt free and not binging for the entire weekend. Fortunately, we are going out this year, so I wont be totally tempted by all the leftovers - but we will probably cook a bird and make some soup over the weekend. I'm committing NOW to next round as to not let myself slip into holiday regression. Last night I overindulged a bit so scale may be up a bit tomorrow. Desperately need to go to the grocery store and stock up on healthy options again. Been basically cleaning out the cupboards for the past week!
11/15 - Thursday - 176.8 - Been visualizing that 176! Solid morning, fish oil, smoothie, packed lunches, snacks, and got dinner on deck with a chicken teriyaki salad! Weather has me feeling especially dry and dehydrated so I'll focus on water today. Probably working from home tomorrow so I planned to make extra dinner to have for lunches tomorrow so we're not tempted to order out or snack our way thru the day at home. Went grocery shopping and have a good plan to get us thru the weekend fed with yummy, home cooked, whole foods. Been craving Zuppa Toscana so making a copy cat!
11/16 - Friday - 176.8 - ive been consistent and my numbers have been more consistent! Got hit with the munchies last night but got by with half a pb&j toast. Working from home today. Went out and did a little snow removal and made homemade pancakes. Leftovers for lunch and zuppa for dinner! Its a winter wonderland and we will probably be going snowboarding tomorrow or Sunday!!!!
11/17 Saturday - 178 - well I did well all day then mindlessly snacked after an early dinner. Dissapointed, but working from home proved to be tricky for me so I'll be mindful of that in the future. Back at it today!
11/18 - Sunday - 179.4 - enjoyed the day for friendsgiving yesterday without guilt. Which was hard after wanting to "make up" for the day before...but growing through it regardless. Not surprised by the uptick...water today, leftovers, and snowboarding tonight! The activity should make eating today a little more flexible anyway.
11/19 - Monday - 180.2 - TOM arrived late last night. Feeling super bloated and generally uncomfortable! But its a blessing really - my periods are continuing to regulate and I might have even ovulated this month! Sorry for TMI! So anyway I'm actually happy this morning - things are moving in the direction of my dreams, I paid all the bills, I stuck with my habits this morning and packed lunches and dinner is already prepared! I need toilet paper and a few things at the store but need to make a solid plan before I step foot inside a preholiday supermarket! Got to the mountain last night and felt SO good on my board!
11/20 - Tuesday - 180.2 - A doozy of an evening pain wise. I ate an extra chocolate bar, and mistakenly allowed trail mix with chocolate into my shopping cart yesterday and ate some of that too. Magnesium supplement to the rescue and I passed out pretty early on the couch. Snowy weather so working from home today. Going to make my smoothie now, ham and cheese wrap for lunch and pasta to quiet the raging cravings tonight, but planning on proper portions and prelogging to help me be reasonable. Last time I worked from home I didnt eat enough protein and got wicked snacky after dinner so maybe also a tuna snack like I would usually have at work. Water is always harder at home...I'll try using my thermos with a straw and see if that helps. Found out Friday is a paid holiday for us too so YAY! Meal planned for the whole week, less whole foods more treats - planning on it rather than binging on it is key for me though. I can enjoy it without regretting it that way. Excited to enjoy a balance this holiday - this seasons theme has been about growth in so many ways and I'm so grateful to this challenge for being a huge part of it!
11/21 - Wednesday - 178.8 - A decent night last night - ate mostly proper portion and got to bed early. But oh my lanta is the devil whispering in my ear this morning! I woke up in a mood - DH hurt his finger opening the trunk so there was yelling too! Fun! I tried so hard to shake it on the commute to work. Got donuts for the work crew, and even all the usually super nice coffee ladies were throwing daggers at each other with there eyes - arent the holidays fun?! Anyway, I already ate one of those donuts. But I've got the rest of the day planned. Need to drink lots of water today so I don't eat three more donuts
I'm very much an empath and this time of year does indeed wear me out very quickly so I'm being mindful of protecting my energy - today has felt really heavy so far - so setting my intentions for positive vibes despite the rocky start! Hope everyone has a restorative, peaceful, family filled holiday tomorrow!
11/22 - Thursday - 177.2 - End TOM whoosh! And I stuck to the plan yesterday so that always helps. Feeling positive this morning and excited for enjoying the day guilt free and logging free. Not stressing what tomorrow brings because I already have my plan to keep things reasonable for the rest of this mini vacation and not go totally off the rails. Have a great day everyone!!!

Great job turning it around, Jen. I'm fighting (or maybe not fighting hard enough) a climb right now too. My peak won't come until after today though (Thanksgiving), so I'll have pounds to lose beginning Friday.5 -

11/18—147.6 after two days at my parents’ house, I’m pleased to be still at a maintenance level. Now to try to lose a bit before tomorrow’s weigh in for the week.
11/19–146.8 Final countdown before Thanksgiving. Good luck, everyone!
11/20—149.2 Well, Panda Express! All that salt! Here’s to drinking LOTS of water today, and tomorrow, and…
11/21—no weigh in—traveling
11/22—150.6 (different scales here so not sure they are calibrated with mine at home, but that is the number on them this morning) Happy Thanksgiving! I just crossed that line that I will NOT stay above, so after today (which will not help the matter), I’ll have some work to do. But, family and friends and experiences are important too, so I’m not going to stress about it. Enjoy the day, everyone! Happy Thanksgiving. Count your many blessings! Even in hard situations, (and I’m speaking from a tough spot in life experience here today), there are many things to be thankful for.

11/14 - 179 - Late evening pretzel eating again. It's over, bag's empty, lol.
11/15 - 177.4 - Infused water? Lately I've been using cilantro instead of parsley. Can't find a decent bunch of parsley anywhere. I do really like the spiciness of the cilantro in the water.

11/17 - 177.4 - Smh
11/18 - 176.6 - Woot! Happy to see this number again today. I looked back through the rounds, and noticed that I average 65 days per decade of weight. Hopeful for Round 60/61 to be in the 160's!
11/19 - 177 - Okay. Spent the day at my DS and DIL's house, visiting Grandchildren. That is ALWAYS a high carb day. I normally take my own food so I'll have something to eat, but I didn't yesterday. I did roast a chicken for the children and made a couple of dips the adults could eat during the football game. My DH picked up fried chicken wings and fried fish at a carryout. I wasn't in the mood for any of it. I bought some chicken nuggets and fries at Wendys, didn't want that either, lol. It was cold and tasteless when I ate it.😕 Ate a little of the dip with a few flatbread crackers. Also ate salad. Came home and ate peanut butter. Strange day of eating for me, but I got to love up on my littles 😀 which always makes the day special.
11/20 - 177.2 - Mmmm, not amused 😑
11/21 - 176.6 - Back here again for the umpteenth time.😄 The struggle of late, that I'm noticing, is not wanting to eat what I cook or just not being hungry. Although, yesterday I felt hungry and wanted something crunchy, so I ate more of the flatbread crackers with the cheese dips. That turned into a meal, lol.
11/22 - 176.2 - Enjoy your family time today everyone!

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.

11/19 - 188.8 I was on vacation last week and while I did weigh in everyday I did not update round #58 numbers or comment on this round until now. I didn't do anything interesting on vacation because my bf burnt his hand so badly the night before we were leaving that he had to go to the emergency room and there was NO way we could fly. He was miserable. He's much better now and we spent a lot of time together but it wasn't a "vacation" like I really needed. I'm still worried about him as he has a compromised immune system right now and any infection can be very serious. The only good thing was that I walked every day. I got a couple of 4 milers in and one short two mile walk where both miles were under 17 minutes. I wasn't great on food, niece's first birthday last weekend and her dad's birthday this weekend. As if all that wasn't enough to kill my weight loss chances, its TOM so I doubt I will lose even a half a pound this round.
11/20 - 188.8 I'm happy enough with that considering I was stressed most of the day and had no exercise yesterday (other than jumping up and screaming during Monday night football GO CHIEFS!) Going to the gym tonight for weights. I'm trying to get 3 walks in between now and Sunday. Not easy with the holiday. I'll be busy on Thursday with T-day, decorating the house on Friday, another T-day on Saturday. I'm just sick of 18X I feel like I've been hovering for over a month where I can't get below 188. Now pile two thanksgiving and stupid TOM and there is no hope of seeing say 186 for at least another week if not two. It's a journey, it's a journey, it's a journey.
11/21 - 188.3 Going down is always a good thing. Went to the gym last night, had a great work out. Plan on a long walk this afternoon. Maybe I should just make 4 miles my new normal and stop calling it a long walk? Now I'm rambling. Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow to all!!! I am thankful for MFP and this challenge!!!
11/22 - 188.4 Well that sucks. Under calorie goal and a fantastic almost perfect 4 mile walk on a very rough trail. That's one of the best walks I've had in a long time. I only saw one other person but TWO 8 point bucks running together. We have seen deer on the trail many times but this was cooler and potentially dangerous. My dog was about 15 feet in front of me freezes, looks into the woods and then comes back to me. I turned around and about 20 feet away was a buck staring right at us. It's rutting season so young bucks can be aggressive. About 40 feet east of him was another one that looked just like him. He took off and they kept pace with us for about 5 minutes. My dog is a cardigan welsh corgi, bred for herding cattle. After they took off he thought he should try to keep up. It was hilarious after they started running away.

Round 59
Please join us! Starting on 11/14 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 59
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Whaaaaat?! That is a crazy awesome walk. And even more whaaaaat?! I have a cardi too and she sniffed out a spot some deer had been bedding down right in our backyard yesterday. Im not sure what she would have done had she actually seen them?!5 -
Today I am blessed to be sharing this holiday with my coworkers/teammates in a fulfilling career I enjoy.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. 7
