Round 59 - my 12th
36y/ 173cm or 5'8"
OSW: 74kg May 2018 (163lbs)
UGW: updated 67-63kg (148-139lbs)
Goals for this round: get body and food scales, find a gym,
- go for 3 runs - 2/3 done
- do my bodyweight routine 5x - 2/5

11/15 no scale
I think i'll switch to posting in the evenings since that is when I'm less busy and at home. So yesterday, I have no idea where i ended with my calories, went for Korean BBQ dinner with some new people.
Today started well with a short run, in the morning when it is much cooler than in the eve, then I also completed my exercise routine. I took my breakfast to the office, but still ended up super hungry most of the day - maybe because my body expected winter to come and is really confused by the heat. I cooked a healthy dinner, but then had some chocolate and popcorn... oops. But turned out necessary energy to scare off a massive cockroach and kill a medium sized spider.

11/16 no scale
oh what did I do today... First I overslept, so no exercise, then I bought Turkish for lunch, it'll last me for tomorrow also, but quite heavy. Dinner was alright, the second half of yesterday's healthy dinner. But, because I had to walk to the shops to buy water (still no car), i bought snacks and ate way over. I'm an idiot or maybe i'm starting to miss home and this is emotional eating?
Either way, it needs to stop. On the plus side, due to some hick ups with the flat, I ended up walking a bit more and managed my 10k steps.
I looked at my macros and always have the wrong split, even a few months back. With so much estimated food, it'll be difficult to fix, but i'll have to eat more protein.

11/17 no scale
The day started well, went for a slightly longer run than last time, 2.3km, followed by a ca 2km walk to get back home, then also did my body weight exercises. I had this dog follow me the whole round, no idea where he came from or if he found back home, i just had to abandon him at my gate, he was gone when i later left for work.
Fridays we only work half days, which is great. I got a car for the weekend and went to a bigger shopping mall and now have a yoga mat! Unfortunately, I didn't bring enough money to also buy scale, but at least I know where to get it over the weekend.
I also checked out a hotel gym nearby, they have treadmills in case I don't manage run in the morning, I can go there now.
Foodwise, I derailed terribly. I really need scales to keep me in check and be more confident with what i'm logging. I've decided against going out tonight but will have a glass of wine.
I'm also missing my husband (and cats) a lot. He's had a few bad days, so that doesn't make me feel bad for not being there in person. We discussed and knew this was gonna happen, but that doesn't make it better. I also feel like I should start writing a physical diary, then my entries may get a bit shorter...

I haven’t done this particular challenge for awhile and the last several times I did participate, I didn’t finish the entire round.

I’ll weigh tomorrow, day one, and then decide what my goal will be.

Good luck everyone.

First weigh in of the challenge and I was at 186.2. My goal is 3 pounds down. I haven’t done this particular challenge for awhile and the last several times I did participate, I didn’t finish the entire round.

This is my sixth round. I am starting not to freak out as much over the daily fluctuations. Went up a little bit at the end of last round, so 2.5 isn't too unreasonable. On the other hand, I've been pushing a 1000 calorie deficit for 2.5 weeks now and I think I'm going to have a slightly smaller deficit this round.

Day/Weight/Comment

11/14 166.5 -- Phew. I was super hungry and craving sweets and honestly everything yesterday. Kept trying to have a healthy filling something and it was all subtraction stew. Jogged in place at 10 pm to finish my steps and cover my extra snacking, so still had a big deficit. Glad to see that my indulgence in a scone did not move the scale the wrong way!!
11/15 166 -- Nice to see. Interesting observation: I am doing a monthly support group with a weekly weigh in. In that group I had a 3 lb loss last week, despite only a 1 lb loss in Round 57. Then this week, having finished round 58 with a 3 pound loss, I posted a .5 pound gain. Puts things in perspective about daily fluctuations! On another note NSV--three people at the gym yesterday independently commented on how good I looked and the weight I had lost. I've lost 33 lbs since June. I don't think the first 20 were so noticeable, but now there is a difference!
11/16 165.5 Hungry again yesterday. Somehow the low carb hamburger casserole that I made tasted good but felt more like subtraction stew. Don't think I will make that again! Combatted the hunger by going to zumba! So I guess that was a win!

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
11/14 - 177.2 Pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Movin’ on.
11/15 - 177.2 Getting house measured for carpet today. Also have floor installers here day 2 for utility room. They continue to prep cement floor for new flooring which will likely be installed tomorrow. I will probably miss pool and pot luck tonight. I do not have time to make a dish to pass & will not go empty handed. Opening day of rifle deer hunting in my area which will keep me very busy working. Most hunters arrived yesterday evening. Our very small town is full of hunters. I could not find a loaf of bread Anywhere in this town at 7:00 last night. I forgot to shop early. It will be hectic here through Thanksgiving weekend. I will do my best to stick to plan but grab & go is likely on some of these days. Uggg. I did manage to get in a little food prepping so that will help, but I’ve been trying to keep the house clean & uncomplicated because of all the different workers in & out. I really just want to get through this in the next few weeks.
11/16 - 176.6 Okay, it’s moving in the right direction! BTW Utility room floor looks AWESOME! But now my oven (stove is only 2 years old with warranty expired) won’t work. Yes, now. Right before Thanksgiving. I’m told by a friend that it’s probably an igniter which will have to be ordered but he can put on. No repair shop around here so I am grateful and thankful and hope that it’s the problem. However, it will not be fixed by Thanksgiving. New plans have been being discussed all day. Oh my. What is next? I could pull my hair out, but I won’t since that’s not working right either (hopefully the shots in the head will help!). Just feeling sorry for myself here. It will all be okay. I have faith in abundance. Have a great weekend everyone!

@deepwoodslady We used to stay at a little lodge in Colorado. We aren’t hunters and we’re quite disturbed to come out of our cabin and discover elk hanging from every tree! Hunters were sitting outside their cabins hacking up and packing into huge coolers those (formerly) beautiful animals. It made us all sad.

I agree with you 100% on the hunting. As an animal lover, it is certainly something that I just could not do. I am originally a city girl so I found all the hunting and fishing I've seen to be disturbing when I first moved here. I try not to dwell on it now. Many people who live in this area actually do hunt, fish or farm their own food. And "city folks" like I used to be come north to hunt as well. It is just not something I am accustomed to. With Ruby the Chicken, my greatest fear in taking her to the nearby farm was that she would eventually be slaughtered for meat when she no longer can produce viable eggs (if she can even do so now). But I also know that they have the coops, the roosting boxes, the egg boxes, the heat during our brutal winters, the proper food and knowledge and that whatever life she has left, she would be most comfortable. But trust me, I lost sleep every night she was here. There are actually "buck poles" all over town on the main roads in front of businesses who hold contests so it is common to see deer hanging everywhere, even in front of our small clothing stores! I try not to look. Like you, I always feel sad. It is during these times the most that I more understand vegetarians. I am with you on how sad this practice is. I only pray it is not for sport or display, but for food.

11/14 191.5. I Passed my biology midterm!!! Food yesterday was salty and so was the food today (I tried the impossible burger at a local bar/restaurant today. It was good, but not meat-like at all) I’m behind on my water right now, so I might see a bump on the scale tomorrow lol.
11/15 192. Water weight.
11/16 192. I’ve noticed that my body loves this weight, and her chaotic-neutral sister, 192.1 lol. I remember sitting at that weight for over a week once. Tomorrow is the banquet for our local silhouette rifle shooting club, and because I helped out at the cook shack during the summer, I was invited to go. So I will dress up in my new dress, wear high heels and makeup for the first time in a while, and have a lovely evening. I’ll try to remember to take a photo of me in my dress and maybe of the dinner, if I bring my phone.

I derailed myself last year undoing a lot of good work. After a long absence from myfitnesspal I am back on track. This 10 day challenge seems like something I can do. I joined with Round 57. This is my 3rd consecutive round. The less said about round 58 the better.

Age: 59
Sex: M
Height: 5ft 10 1/2"
HW: 313 lbs (reached twice, sad to say)
Pre-challenge SW: 313 lbs (started back at myfitnesspal Oct 1st. Down 15 lbs in the 3 weeks prior to round 57)
SW for the round 57 challenge: 298 lbs (I have a photo to prove it, I'll take a new one at the start of every week)
GW sometime in 2020: 195 lbs (several beautiful Italian double-breasted suits await me)

Round 59
SW for this round: 297 lbs (annoyingly up 2 lbs over the last challenge)
GW for this round: 293 lbs (drop 4 lbs)

Day 01. 11/14 297 lbs
Day 02. 11/15 296.5 lbs. I'll take every small win after the last round.
Day 03. 11/16 296.5 lbs. We had dinner out last night after taking family Xmas photos. I knew as I ate the delicious Teriyaki chicken and noodles that there was too much salt for me and too many carbs. I would have been helped by eating a couple of Turkey rollups before we left the house. Or having a high-protein shake (i.e. Premier which provides 30g of protein). Then I might have sensibly passed on the noodles and picked a more appropriate (for me) main dish.

Down 0.5 lb so far this 10 day challenge.
Down 1.5 lbs so far on challenges (I plan on doing more of them).
Down 16.5 lbs total since I came back to myfitnesspal.
101.5 lbs to go to where I want to be: 195 lbs, the weight at which I got married.

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.). Must clean the garden today before it rains again or snowing. In the afternoon - my big freestyle (running + walking). A nice weekend to all!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Purposely committing now as this is a rough/tough time of year to stay strong! Accountability is so important!
Starting weight: 121.8

Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 - 121.0
11/15 - 122.6 / Not how I wanted it to go, but expected. How I ate yesterday directly shows how I eat when I don’t sleep well the night before. On the bright side, I slept well last night! Plan is to not eat unless I’m truly “hungry” and then stop when I’m not!
11/16 – 123.8 / I’m taking ownership of this ☹ Not the way I wanted it to go. It’s a mind game for me. Recommitting.
11/17 - 123.8 / NSV: I was on plan all day, passed on a glass of wine (that was hard but I’m learning that even one glass of wine gives me a headache the next morning and isn’t worth it), got my exercise in and had a great day! Trying to really focus on doing this for glory of God. I have so much to be thankful for!

@sdavmor. You’re doing great. In addition to the physical aspect (eating), this journey is a learning experience while going through tons of emotions and adjustments. I love that you are looking back at what happened and what you could change next time. So many times I feel like I’m alone with my eating because of the “everyone else can eat it” syndrome. I love this group; it inspires me to continue on! Hang in there! You’ve got this!

Started this week (Mondays are my official weigh in date)- 211
OSW: 225
Ultimate target weight: 175
(One I hit it I will look and see what I want to do from there)
Goal for the next 10 days (based on the 211 number) - 208.5
Target for Nov. 30th - 206 (may not quite hit it but should come close)

Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 - 212.2 - Focusing on getting all my water in today!
11/15 - 213 Not really happy that it has gone up over the last few days but I did get all my water in. The goal for today is to get all my calories and see if that helps.
11/16= 212.6 - Movement downward again. Still frustrated. I am eating healthy options and staying in my cal limit. Last night I got near the top of my target limit without adding processed or sugary items. Also got in my water target and workout for the day. I am just frustrated at making the right choices and seeing and upward tick this week.
11/17-- 210.. uh... what? doing the same things I have done all week. not sure what the difference has been.

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.

UGW: 155ish - by April 2019

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!

Round 59 SW 187
Round 59 GW 185

Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 187 - saw this challenge and figured I'd join in since the weight seems to be creeping back on.
11/15 185.1 - dinner out w/family last night will most likely show up on scale tomorrow though I did try to plan ahead knowing I would have a higher calorie meal when out.
11/16 185.1 - I did a little bit of mindless snacking yesterday so that will probably catch up to me in a day or so. Especially, since I worked from home yesterday and will again today and I have all the food in the next room easy to get up and grab it. Did try to put some lower calorie items in pantry for when the urge strikes.
11/17 185.1 - Started logging but, didn't complete yesterday - though, I feel like I probably over ate but, didn't go over board.

11/14-177
11/5 - Didn’t weigh;I had too many beers before and after dinner last night,while cleaning our house up to sell.
11/16 - 177-No time to exercise; we have been boxing up stuff, painting and cleaning to put our house up for sale. Luckily they sell those pre made bagged salads, so I grab cooked meat from the freezer and add it to the bagged salad for instant dinner. At least we’re eating somewhat healthy.
11/17 - 177-Still, but that’s OK. Our house is finally for sale, and things will get back to normal....after I paint the bathroom.😳

Have a good weekend everybody!!!🌻

11/16 IDK When I stepped on the scale I got 172 which seemed too good to be true. So i tried again and got 175.2 which doesn't make sense either as I was within calories and macros yesterday. So I will wait and see what tomorrow brings.

Freezing rain all morning, so I've been catching up on laundry and cleaning, moving some furniture and books around, and other stuff. And a friend's DH fell off a step stool while changing a light bulb and broke his back in 3 places - yikes!

Whoa! That would have knocked my socks off if I'd had any on when I weighed in this morning! I did have a very low cal day yesterday, not really by planning, but I was satisfied and just decided to go with it. I can't believe I'm a pound and a half away from my "I'll probably never reach it but wouldn't it be great" goal. It will be 4 years in Feb. since I started this journey for real (after years of "trying" to lose weight and ending up heavier in the long run). Keep at it, folks!

11/15 147.6 Well worth this bump, had an unexpected great day with my oldest daughter, shopping and catching up and just overall amazing. She is moving to New Zealand for a year after Christmas, so these days are extra cherished! We are both usually so busy with life that we don't get to do that as much as when she was younger. The day started off with our FAVORITE english muffin, which despite many trials I have not been able to recreate at home. Any bakers out htere have a recipe?? (the egg pudding wasn't too shabby either!)
11/16 149.4 Yikes full disclosure, ate off the rails yesterday...red wine, homemade scones, yummy potatoes, sourdough with butter, filet...Human not perfect, and that's ok. Prelogging today and made the triple threat water, confident I will drop this as quickly as I put it on thanks to this challenge and what weighing daily has taught me. It's just important to catch it quick so that it doesn't end up a full week/month/year of mindless eating. NSV I did some lower body/glute exercises and have committed to continuing to see if I can reconfigure the bod. I know it's slow going work, but I also know it's the next step for me now that my weight is very close to maintenance.

11/17 147.8 Better day yesterday, just 2 more days til my weekly weigh in - hoping to get to back to 145.6 by then- it is possible but I have to stay focused. Air quality here is still in the dangerous zone, so still no walking the hill. Indoor exercises again.

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.
