Day/Weight/Comment
11/24 - 177.4 - Ate nothing unusual, only 22 calories over, drank plenty of water. Just a normal fluctuation.
11/25 - 178.4 - Over calories by 300 from eating keto seed porridge. Still no unusual foods, except for a pumpernickel dinner roll. Plenty of water and enough sleep.
11/26 - 178 - I need salt and potassium. Last night during my fasting hours, I ate 250 calories worth of salty, spicy peanuts ? Could have saved calories just drinking my electrolytes. I don't know why I have been having an aversion to drinking electrolytes.
11/27 - 178.8 - High carbs yesterday, late dinner, no electrolytes ?
11/28 - 174.8 - Skeptical, weighed 3 times though. I'm pretty sure its because of the electrolytes I finally drank.
11/29 - 177.4 - I knew my weight had to settle but not to this 177 again ? Lol My body's water balance is so finicky.
11/30 - 178.2 - Pretzels. Problem solving eating. Didn't need salt. I was good and drank my electrolytes. Guess it all boils down to stress though. BUT, this IS becoming laughable. My knee compression sleeve came yesterday. Yaay! So I did about 20 semi sumo squats to test it out. My knee said no way, but I say 20 is my limit.
12/1 - 178.8 - Even though I threatened myself, lol, pretzels, ate them. Up all night, working on and problem solving a project. Why do the two hour projects turn into 30 hour projects? 2.5 hours sleep, still need to finish it for a birthday party today. Tomorrow, I may be going to see my littles, so the carbs will not be any better.

78 lbs lost since Sept. 201712 -
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.

11/25 - 174-I almost didn’t weigh yesterday because I knew I was still suffering the repercussions of Thanksgiving. I am back on track.
11/26 -175-I ate 2 slices of unfriendly bread yesterday and had salty dinner. Heading to my uncles we’ll eat dinner out.
11/27 - No Scale
11/28 - 173 - I haven’t had time to exercise because I work so much around the house getting it ready to sell, lots of yard work too. I have been eating good and it’s paying off.
11/29 - 173 - Same, I wish I could lose a pound a day, but that’s not the case; I’ll take it.
11/30 - Didn’t weigh; I made unwise food choices yesterday and feel bloated. I get to go make sausage with my dad today.
12/1 - 175-Dang it! Not the right food and I’m paying for it. I need to mix in some exercise. Tonight we go to dinner/drinks out with friends, hopefully I can contain myself 😳

I know this little bump up is residue from excess calories on TG, so I'm watching but not panicking. MFP says my maintenance calories without exercise are 1380, and SailRabbit calculates it as 1318. Since I've lost so much, I'm guessing it's at the lower end, so trying to aim for 1250-1350. We shall see.

This is my fifth week of adding foods back into my diet after 6 weeks of eliminating them. This week I've added dairy (after eggs, tomatoes, peppers, & gluten the past 4 weeks). So far, I've had no reactions at all, so apparently my inflammation levels aren't related to those foods. Three weeks to go, adding soy, corn, and peanuts. I'm not sorry I did this, but I'll be glad when it's over.

Woman, Age 47, 5'6", Celiac disease
OSW: 252
11/24—DNW—Just got back home. Very early flight in from Ohio. I haven't weight for three days and I'm sure it's not pretty. It wasn't pie that got me. I was very reasonable with the pie. But I was very UNreasonable with dip. Worth it though. (That's easy for me to say when I haven't weighed in!)
5 pounds of gain wouldn't shock me, because I was eating so differently and that makes me gain water weight quickly.
11/25—219—Well, that's not great, but it was 3 pounds rather than 5. Winning!
11/26—218.6—The slow recovery commences. I didn't really eat great yesterday, but it was an improvement over the previous three days!
11/27—218—This was an early weigh-in, so I'm pleased. I was starting a workout last night and I came down wrong on my right foot. Severe pain that lasted just a short while. Today I seem fine, but now I'm a little spooked.
11/28—218—My right ankle/foot seems to be fine. I wonder what that was? Yesterday I had meetings all day and came home exhausted. Today I woke up with a stuffy head. I don't know whether I was so tired because I'm coming down with something or if it was those darned meetings!
11/29—218.2—I had a GREAT workout last night. I continue to push forward with my goal of completing the pushups challenge and yesterday I finally made some progress.
TOM is creeping up on me so I'm retaining water. Boo!
11/30—217—I'm surprised this number went down. I had a salt-fest yesterday, though my calories weren't too bad. I also realized at about 5 o'clock that I had actually not had ANYTHING to drink all day! All day! I did a good job making up for it, but that's nuts!
12/1—216.6—Another surprising loss. I had movie theater popcorn last night. I expect a lot of exercise today.

afit50 Try not to let daily weigh ins drive you crazy. TRY to remember that our bodies have these wild crazy fluctuations for everyone. They are so frustrating when you don't see the number you think you should. But keep going and that scale will show the work in the end! You go girl!

CW - 187.8
RGW - 186
UGW – 135
Food Goals:
Get 5 servings of fruits/veggies every day.
Stay under my calorie goal of 1,400.
Exercise Goals:
Walk at least an hour 3 days a week, 4 days if nothing better is available.
Weight training 1 day a week
Walk 45 miles in November (Nov 30th - 50.7 miles!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Day/Weight/Comment:
11/24 - 187.8 Down is always the right direction. Got over three miles in yesterday and stayed within calorie goals even with a half a piece of pecan pie! Thankfully the leftovers are all gone. I'm just happy to have made it through Thanksgiving without a gain. I have decided if the weather holds out I am going to try to get 50 miles in before the end of the month.
11/25 - 187.3 It ain't much but I'll take it, happily. I did not end up walking yesterday. I went to a funeral (step grandfather I didn't know well but needed to go for my step Mom who I love) and the chatting after lasted too long to get a walk in before dark. I have three hours before the snow starts, I am trying to talk myself into walking before the storm, but it's cold... Whining doesn't make me healthier just fatter. Ok I'm going dang you guys are tough on a girl!
11/26 - 187.8 I'm sure this is due to a high sodium day yesterday. I did get my three miles in though, finished just as the rain that turned into ice that turned into snow started. It was actually a great walk after the first half mile of freezing. I didn't see another person or even animal on the trail. Usually I see or hear squirrels off in the woods - not yesterday.
11/27 - 186.4 Woohoo goodbye retained water!!! The only exercise I got yesterday was snow-shoveling the driveway. I turned on the MapMyFitness app. It said I burned 371 calories in 25 minutes. I know that's not right though I did work up a sweat. Tonight is gym night and I even remembered my clothes so I don't have to go home first. Of course I did forget my breakfast and lunch I was bringing to work... Meal planning is great and everything IF you remember to bring it with you.
11/28 - 186.7 Nothing but a blip! Yesterday's drop was a little dramatic so I think this is more of a true-up. Half way thru this challenge already, it goes so quickly. I did a short walk yesterday trying to get to 45 miles but I had misremembered how far I needed and am still a little more than half a mile away. BUT since I still have three days and need to exercise, I'm going for 50. These self imposed goals encourage me when I'm thinking I'd rather not go out in the cold to walk. I still did weights after walking but not as much because I got overheated walking and one of the fun symptoms of MS is when you get hot you get weaker. Not an ideal time to lift weights. I couldn't do the same weights I normally do so I did slightly lower ones for fewer reps, but still feel pretty good about it. MS can suck it!
11/29 - 188.5 I got in a three mile walk and stayed within calories but somehow I'm up. As we always do I assume it's the sodium from yesterday. I won't lie it's a kick in the guts when you see a number that's 2 pounds more than yesterday and you know you've done everything right. It's the problem with weighing daily. I'm also not feeling well. Another frickin' cold, my head hurts, I'm sneezing like a fool but thankful for Dayquil. Good news tomorrow is another day, all we can do is trust the process. I'm less than 3 miles from getting 50 for November.
11/30 - 187.1 Sodium is the devil. I'm hopeful for 186.X by the end of the round. I am super excited because I got 50 miles in November! My cold is still here, which means I cannot see my immune suppressed boyfriend this weekend
but I'm going to celebrate hitting 50 miles anyway. I don't want to set another mile goal for December because I couldn't do any other exercising when trying to get a mile goal. I'll still walk for the majority of my exercise but I need other things too. It's cold to much other than exercise videos or stationary bike, but on those few sunny days I'll play tennis. Happy Friday everyone!
12/01 - 186.6 A good day. No exercise but stayed within calorie limits. Girlfriend brought over some awesome Blackberry Crumble ice cream. It's delicious. I had my 1/2 cup so it would fit within 1400 calories but I wanted another scoop or 2 or 3. That's the lifestyle change right. One small amount of something indulgent is enough. The real challenge is I'm going to a party tonight. I'm definitely walking this morning before the rain starts up again. I'm looking forward to my happy trail just me and my brain time.

Round 60 - my 1st
Female 43yo 5’4”
OSW: 225 (4/9/18)
CSW: 191.4
CGW: 188
11/24
11/25
11/26 191.4 - I expect a couple of these pounds are holiday leftovers and sodium so I’m hoping with a lot of water and exercise it will drop fairly quickly
11/27 191.8 - ok I was not expecting that. My sodium was a little high but I drank lots of water and walked. I will have to keep the sodium way lower today.
11/28 - 189.4 - That’s more like where I expect to be. Got almost all my water in and had a one hour work out and kept the sodium low.
11/29 - 187.8 - did not expect that. Don’t know if it will stick but fingers crossed
11/30 DNW
12/1 188.8 - went out to dinner last night so that looks about right. Going to get all my water and get in a long walk.

Hi everyone ~ so happy to be here! I've been with MFP since February 2018 and have lost about 40 lbs. Early on, I weighed myself daily for a brief period but couldn't handle it!! The emotional up and downs of the scale made me a little cray cray so I stopped for the sake of my family, lol. Then between June and November I lost my mom, my job and my fitness mojo. I regained 13 lbs (including the recent holiday), but have lost 10 of it again so yayyy me. It's been very difficult to motivate myself and remain consistent, but believe I'm finally back on track and strong enough now to handle a daily weigh-in, lololo. Thanks for the opportunity.

R60 - 1st round
11/24
11/25
11/26 ~ 236.8 (up 2.6 lbs from DAYS of Holiday yumminess - no regrets!)
11/27 ~ 236.2 - been pushing more than usual to counter balance all the carbs and sugar and feeling a little sore this morning. So even though my inner competitor wants to run 10 laps, today will definitely be a rest day. (UPDATE: was feeling so good did 30 minutes of HIIT in the afternoon)
11/28 ~ 238.0 - WT? Poor sleep maybe? It better be muscle!
11/29 ~ 236.8 – Yesterday was so carb heavy I was afraid to look! But I stayed within calorie count and got in some exercise, so this time it worked like it should, lol. Definitely need to keep it simple the next few days.
11/30 ~ 235.0 – yessss! almost back to my pre-holiday weight of 234.2. I have to say, while still no regrets for the holiday eating, I’ve had to work almost 3x as hard to lose the weight this time. I know I need time and consistency to build up a momentum again, but definitely going to be more mindful of this going forward.
DECEMBER GOAL: Do my best to end the year on a high note.
12/01 ~ 233.8 and 7 inches lost since last month! Feeling pretty good this morning ~ BUT ~ will have guests through Monday morning so fingers crossed it keeps dropping, lol. Have a great weekend everyone!

My internet has been wonky for a couple of days and I keep losing my notes! I may need to go back to reading on the phone and commenting on the computer instead of trying to copy and paste to the next page. Having said that —
@bisonpitcher This has gone on too long! Please go back to the doctor!!

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.
11/23 131.5 Round 59 end weight
••••••
11/24 132.5 Something I ate did not agree with me! According to my Garmin, I didn’t go to sleep until after 3 and was up just after 6. It’s gonna be a looong day! And it seems I did not post this morning!
11/25 132.0 Thank goodness 4 days of cooking and 3 days of eating have ended! Monday I’m starting a fat fast for 3-5 days.
11/26 133.5. What the heck? All I ate yesterday was a large Greek salad with gyro meat and small slices of the 2 keto pies left from Thanksgiving. I was under on calories, hit my protein on the nose and carbs were 1g over due to the 1/4 pita I ate. THIS is why I always say IT TAKES 2 - 3 DAYS for what I eat to show on the scale. SATURDAY the food was rich and we had a liqueur tasting. Well, it is what it is. Starting my fat fast today.
When your weight makes a CRAZY swing - look at what you ate 2 or 3 days before for an explanation.
11/27 133.5 So. . . messed up my fat fast yesterday when I made spinach for myself for dinner AND being human like everyone else here, I was angry with myself so ate the piece of Keto cake I had in the fridge from Saturday. All of the goodies are gone and husband made a lunch date with friends for tomorrow. My fat fast may be a bust but it has me very aware of my eating again and that is good.
11/28 132.0 Gym time yesterday. Drank almost a gallon of water. 1 qt extra because of gym and I know it aids muscle recovery! Going out to lunch and then the gym!
11/29 133.0 “Combo fast” of my own making. Eggs, beef, fat.
11/30 131.0 Arts & Crafts 5th Friday luncheon today. Think I’ll go try my Zumba video since I doubt I’ll be able to get to the gym by 2.
12/1 131.0 I did the Zumba 20 Minute Express workout yesterday. It felt so good but boy, do the backs of my thighs hurt now! Well, it’s all good, isn’t it? Today I’m going to Joann with friends to finger knit for St. Jude Children’s Hospital.8 -
Hoping that I will be true to this...
11/24=202(post Holiday,probably not accurate)no more snacks or desserts till Christmas,a tall order but I will TRY
11/25=202,????did good yesterday,1hr water aerobics & shopping
11/26=Same...bone broth day,always
11/27=201.5.Ok,that is slightly down,no work out today.but tomorrow
11/29=200.9
11/30=202.1 Parties are starting,sitting with friends,heartwarming,I made good choices for dinner but did have that Alomnd torte,I will continue track,drink water,& exercise.With my history that is never enough But,you ladies have taught me to push aside the guilt & enjoy the lovely things that come our way.So I will keep on keeping on & NOT give. Up.
12/1...Today is to be a Bone Broth day unless something interferes,like the other day.Walked 30 min,so that's something,hope to do bike later.Got highlites yesterday,will stay out of pool till Mon.Christmas is creeping up on us,shopping is required.

ROUND 60 (Round 7 for me)
5’5” 66 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Started Keto WOE on September 24th (2018). Still experiencing decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain since the second week of Keto. Since starting the keto, I’ve lost 18 lb., I’m wearing smaller jeans, and I feel encouraged.
Round 54 – Finished at 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)
Round 56 – Finished at 165.2 (4 lb. loss)
Round 57 – Finished at 163.6 (2 lb. loss)
Round 58 – Finished at 161.4 (2.2 lb. loss)
Round 59 – Finished at 160.2 (1.2 lb. loss)
Day/Weight/Comment
11/24 159.8 It’s great way to start a new round with a lower number than the last round! Thor and I walked 4.2 miles today. We’re slowly increasing our distance when my foot doesn’t hurt. On Monday I’ll see a podiatrist. I’m happy to be back for another round with you friendly folks! I pray it will be a great round for everyone here.
11/25 159.4 Nice to see, but, while my weight has gone down, I ate a little pecan pie and drank a little eggnog for the last three days, and my ketone level is down to less than .1. That’s my wake-up call—enough pie! I may have to put the last couple of slices in the freezer to give to my husband over time. He’s still working on the pumpkin pie, and there’s a lot of pumpkin cake left. It will disappear if he takes it to work tomorrow. To my credit, I haven’t even tasted the pumpkin cake. I give thanks every day, but I’m glad that holiday is behind me.
11/26 160.2 Whoops, I should have listened to myself yesterday. Last night, I made the decision that one ounce of pie and half a roll probably wouldn’t hurt me. Wrong! Beginning today, I will, once more, fully embrace the keto guidelines. What was I thinking? It’s cool out, so Thor and I can take a little walk and see if the pad the doctor put on my foot this morning is helpful. I still have time to get back in the 150’s before the end of the round.
11/27 159.8 I followed the rules yesterday and took a 3 mile walk with Thor. The podiatrist I saw yesterday thinks he can get me running without surgery. I hope he’s right. Today, I get to see what the dermatologist finds. My skin isn’t getting younger. I didn’t do a lot of sunbathing in my younger years, so that should help. Still, I’m fair skinned and had time in the sun, and I’m pretty sure a spot on my nose will be a concern. Fortunately, my soul is spotless, thanks to Jesus’ sacrifice on my behalf—that’s the critical issue. Praise God! I must keep everything in perspective.
11/28 159.4 Inching back down. Thor and I walked 4.8 miles this morning, without foot pain. We’re almost at the 5-mile mark, which I’ve determined is my cue to start C25K again. I was thrilled when my sweet daughter called yesterday and talked for two hours about keto/running/strength training. She started the keto WOE after my granddaughter told her I was losing weight with keto. She decided to try it and loves her results—15 lb. loss in 3 weeks and more energy. She cruises, often, with her husband and wants to recover her bikini figure. It will be a miracle if my daughter starts running. 😊 After I learned how to run, I enjoyed it. Maybe my daughter will, too. I had a spot on my nose burned by the dermatologist yesterday—hope that does it for a while.
11/29 158.8 I like being a loser, and I’ll do my best to keep being a loser. That said, I’ll still ditch my walk with Thor to play cards and socialize with my friends today.
11/30 157.6 This surprised me. I was worried, because I didn’t exercise, and I had a good lunch and a good dinner (keto approved, delicious and filling). Because I enjoyed my meals, I felt like I didn’t deserve to see a smaller number on the scale? God has blessed me with a lot of things I don’t deserve (salvation, life, family, etc.), so I should be used to it. Thank you, Lord, for every large and small blessing! Now, I’ll take Thor for a walk and, this evening, Good Lord willing, watch my youngest son coach his football team to another playoff win. Tomorrow’s his birthday, and another win would be a good way to celebrate!
12/1 157.0 Thor and walked 5.2 miles yesterday—time to start running! I have a podiatrist appointment Monday, and I hope he can get my foot ready for running. My son’s football team didn’t win, but I’m still glad I went to the game. It was a beautiful evening to be outside. I haven’t heard if his twin’s basketball team won their tournament game last night. Win or lose, they both get to celebrate their birthdays today! 😊 It's hard to believe my babies are 37 today. Where did the time go?

11/24 - Saturday - 178.6 - yesterday proved to be more difficult than thanksgiving and I definitely over ate. Stuck to my habits this morning tho. Friends coming over for dinner so not a normal eating day again but I'm looking forward to it!
11/25 - Sunday - 179.6 - more holiday indulgences in the form of friends and cheese. Making an effort to drink water today. Moms for mac and cheese dinner tonight. Way too much dairy for me but tonight is the end of the line...back to it tomorrow. Reminder to self that scale is just data, I had a wonderful holiday and in enjoying the journey despite a later arrival date.
11/26 - Monday -179.8 - Tummy was a bit upset this morning - no surprise there as my beloved mac and cheese is hard on me. I skipped my smoothie but took my supplements. Frozen entree for lunch and leftovers for dinner - but back to habits and structure and I'm happy about that!
11/27 - Tuesday - 179.6 - Need to really commit to the next few weeks before Christmas again. But maybe not go so extreme - because I tried to be SO on point before thanksgiving that I was like RAAHHH EAT ALLL THE THINGS once it finally came. So a little more balance - I need to stick to my weekday schedule, and do my 80/20 on the weekends so I can enjoy, be happy I'm still trending downward, and not undo all that work again come Christmas. Working on my patience as I get nervous watching the scale hover back to 180 and feeling kinda fluffy. Need to do some more meal planning and get more physical activity in as I just like to eat and burning more calories would help me be able to do that - mapping out a dog walk to do daily.
11/28 - Wednesday - 177.8 - Not what I was expecting but I will go with it! Last night was busy, no food planned or prepped - got KFC for dinner and it fit within calories for the day and I miraculously gave away the cookie that came with the meal haha. Nonetheless I do have a headache this morning so I'm crushing water and doing lunges every time I go to the bathroom - they are so hard! But I remember when I started doing my bathroom aerobics that the squats were hard and now they are easy so I'm excited to improve!!!
11/29 - Thursday - 177.2 - Sweet! Well this week is screaming by. Last nights NSV was eating half of my dinner - knowing I was full and stopping despite having more mashed potatoes to eat. I told myself if I wouldn't finish the veggies, I was not actually hungry and didn't need to finish the potatoes on my plate. Quads are on fire from yesterdays lunges but I managed to get my knee all the way to the floor which I had not been able to do!
11/30 - Friday - 176.8 - Happy to see this number again!!! Feeling great overall - been throwing meals together with whatevers left in the house, stir fry has officially become a weekly staple! Meals planned for the weekend include eggnog french toast with sausage (to use up holiday leftovers), pasta with meat sauce (good for atleast a few meals), chicken cheddar broccoli pasta bake - dang this is all very carby - need to spread these ideas out and fill in with some veggie centric dishes. Weekends are still a work in progress but I'm being more mindful of it this weekend...80/20!!!
12/31 - Saturday - 178.0 - ended up caving and getting chinese food last night. Moving on and keeping it reasonable today.

Day/Weight/Comment:
11/24- 179.4 Binge. I just couldn’t get full regardless of what I ate. I absolutely hate typing in green on this forum. I only like it when it pertains to the gains in the stock market or in finances. I have been doing the dinners and celebrations with friends. Tomorrow is the family Thanksgiving dinner. Monday is when I will dread the scale the most. I don’t lose control everyday or all the time. A vast majority of the time I’m on top of it and only struggle when traveling. So I will not let holidays or these moments define me. I will be back on track with each and every one of you on Monday. In the meantime, I will continue to log, to weigh-in and to post. I know what @abowersgirl would do.....She would increase her exercise and movement for damage control. I will try this but with no livingroom right now due to the renovations, and guests coming back & forth into the office (which is the first room of my house), privacy and uninterrupted time is scarce during the hunting and holiday week here. But I will pace back & forth if I can't do anything else. My healthy mind continues, my healthy body awaits.
11/25 - 179.6 Thanksgiving dinner today. The saga continues.
11/26 - 180.4 I obviously enjoyed my Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. Kept my actual dinner very reasonable in quantity of food, though a bit carby. Caved on the pecan pie. Otherwise, desserts at a minimum. Overall, much less that I used to eat for these feasts. I’m a bit impressed with my first Thanksgiving in my new plan and lifestyle. My week was much worse than my actual feast day. I felt like the Pillsbury doughboy going into it which may have helped me reign it in. I can’t wait to get back at it today. Today is “A new dawn, a new day, a new life for me and I’m feeling good.”
11/27 - 180.4 No change. I know I need more water. Very little water shedding. Only got up once during the night which is amazing but doesn’t help the morning weigh-in. I’m going to work on this today. My victory yesterday is that I went to Subway to buy my son and friend a big fat sub on a big carby bun. I bought nothing for myself and made a keto friendly zucchini boat for my own dinner.
11/28 - 178.6 Yay. Typing in red again. Shed a lot of water last night, so extra water helped tremendously. Tomorrow is the pool hall/pot luck dinner. I am very nervous and have not been there in 3 weeks because of something that happened last time. A juicy tidbit that I will share later tonight when I get a chance to type it out. Anyone’s thoughts on the subject are always appreciated.
11/29 - 176.4 More whooshing from the water bloat. Pool/Potluck tonight. I tried to make good food choices without sacrificing the fun and the concept of trying other recipes. Hopefully the scale will not be too unkind to me tomorrow.
11/30 - 178.1 Scale is up from the potluck. I’m sure it’s mostly water. I will work on the bloat today and will eat within plan. I’ve been doing this long enough now to know that it’s okay. I’ve got this.
12/01 - 178.0 Okay, so now it’s being stubborn but it underestimates my dedication! I stayed on plan yesterday with nearly perfect macros. I had about an 800 calorie deficit and ate just 13 Net Carbs. No exercise and clearly not enough movement in general. A moderate amount of fluids but not enough plain old-fashioned water. Today I will make a conscious effort to increase my water and my steps which have been lacking the past few days. Gloomy here today in northern Michigan. So the sunshine will have to come from within me. Even small losses are a loss which allow me to type in deficit red ink, so I am already beaming a little. Enjoy your Saturday everyone!

21st Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Here we are again. Looked over all my rounds and realized that I’ve only lost around 3 lb. total. 😖 I’d lost about 4 lb. on MFP before joining this challenge. I feel like I’ve lost around 10 – which I have. I also gained 7. Have to be less complacent about it. New maxim: each round counts.Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2Round 60 – SW 161.6, Goal this round under 160
Round 40 – on holidays, gain +1.6

Round 59 – SW 161.2, +.4
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. This is less than 1 lb. per round but as I realize that may not be possible as I get lower (1 lb per round would put me at 131).
Day/Weight/Comment
11/24 – 161.6
11/25 – 159.8 – Yesterday a fast and pray day so I’m not expecting it to stick – but it might give me a kick in the right direction.
11/26, Monday – 160.6
11/27, Tuesday – 160.6
11/28, Wednesday – 160.4 – Yesterday was second last ESL class and despite having a new student show up who knew no English, that I didn’t know was coming, it went very well (Thank you Lord). Only one more to go and a couple of Christmas concerts for our ladies’ acapella group and I’m through the stressful part of December. Skipped gym on Monday because I had too much prep to do but going today. Then it’s planning & tidying so my crazy week doesn’t derail me.
11/29, Thursday – 160.6 – Good gym day yesterday though kind of late getting there. A late start today – have to fight my way back to an earlier rising time. I’m a natural night hawk but if I let that get out of control everything just goes downhill.
11/30, Friday – 161.2 – Good day yesterday till late evening and then snacking on almonds. Should have just gone to bed. Hoping to make it to the gym this am to use those calories.
12/01, Saturday – 160.6 – Did not make it to the gym yesterday, in fact I was surprised when I read what I’d written. I woke up with a very stiff muscle on one side of my neck (going up behind my ear). I thought it would just go away once I got up and moving around (likely when I wrote the post) but in fact I started feeling worse – stomach off, draggy. So took it easy, took antiviral and prayed. Made it through the stuff I really needed to get done and ate maintenance cal. Today the neck is still stiff and generally feeling off but not as bad as yesterday. I’m assuming it is a flu bug. Have a 2-3+ hr. all group practice for our concert next week – hope we are all on top of it so that it goes quickly. We come from different communities and learn the songs in our own towns (only one director though) and then put it all together at one last practice

@tiabirdie56 Babe you have to get your sleep to conquer those pretzels. I've read this book about willpower.. I forget the title, but it's written by a lady who does nothing but study willpower and what works. She's a professor at... I think Harvard? I'd have to go find the book. But it says not getting rest and sleep is murder for willpower. I understand the projects that balloon, I have those myself, but you haveta get your sleep. Being unrested makes for slower, less efficient work anyway. Getting the sleep's always gonna be better, even if you have a project you're tempted to burn the midnight oil on.
Honestly this is good advice for everyone: GO TO BED.

🙏11/24 no weight 💪🙏
11/25 148.8
11/26 149 I was able to maintain for most of the week last week but the last couple of days were the hardest in motivation, time and dedication. I am almost done reading everyone's post from round 59 and haven't started round 60 yet but I should be caught up by the end of the day. I like giving everyone's post attention, so when I feel as if I am not doing that I stop reading or else I would be done by now. A new week and a new round. I am not worried about the number because I wasn't paying any attention to what I was eating and I wasn't exercising at all so I know once I start back up today, the weight should come off pretty quick and I will start my downward trend again. I am just happy I am snapping back into it at this weight rather then waiting until I gain an extra 10+!! here is to a good round!!
11/27 148.4 late posting today, yesterday was a wash, I was all set to get some exercising in but then one thing lead to another and I didn't. today was better, got a jog in and 90 min of volleyball. I have my mind made up...I'm resetting mentally. I am starting at this weight and looking at it from a perspective of beginning again, that way I don't torture myself on the gain and the amount of days/weeks I may have wasted because of my bad week last week. Cheers to new beginnings and remembering it's only a number.
11/28147.4 I am proud of myself..a couple of weeks ago I would have seen this slow moving after a binge and get super down for the amount of time I put it on vs having to take it off in the first place...but I am at total peace, I know it will come off and there will be weeks it takes longer to melt away and there will be woooosh weeks where it seems to just slip off. I have been showing a loss trend since I started give me 10 days and at this point that's all I can ask for, regardless of it is .4th of a pound (my lowest) or 5.4 (My highest) it is going down and it works! This week I have decided to give up chocolate, I am not usually a person who believes taking some thing away but instead learning portions, moderation and balance throughout the week (which means not having your treat everyday) but I have been triggered and have been craving it a lot more then usual, so will do what I have too until I show some signs of control again
11/29 146.0 I think my body is flushing out everything I ate last week, I am hoping it keeps going and doesn't stop, at least not for another little while. Yesterday I only did about 33 odd minutes of working out, not including walks...I expected this week to be somewhat better but its still been rough. I find myself hating it when I don't get a work out in, I feel lethargic and down...sometimes even bloated without having eaten anything to cause it and when I did workout yesterday I felt so much better.. like having a shower after a long day, it woke me up, reenergized me and made me feel good...I will have to hold on to that thought and remember that feeling. My mother is still really depressed about her sisters passing (which is to be expected) and has gone as far as not wanting to put her Christmas tree up because she doesn't want to celebrate without her sister but I know that her sister would be dissapoined if my mother didn't put the tree up or if the family didn't want to celebrate. Christmas was my aunt's favorite time of the year, so although I know its a sore spot, I think we should be spending this time celebrating her life and not grieving her death..If that makes sense, but we all deal with grief differently and I know enough to allow each their own process without pressure. Having said that though, I am thinking of decorating my mother's house for her nd putting her tree up so she will have a little surprise when she gets home from work today...i honestly think it will help her and ease some pressure, time wise.
11/30 145.8 This is where I expected it to slow down, well at least it's a loss and I am back to where I started two weeks ago. Exercised good, drank 1.3 liters of water and ate within calories...although LNS got to me last night after some light exercising and I gave into some cashews I had. That might also be the reason I didn't loose too much weight this morning, regardless if they were saltless.
12/01 145.0 and that's what 2 hours of beach volleyball does for you!! Lol had a good day yesterday, exercised, ate under Calories and got in over 1.2 liters of water.. I hope this is here for good because last night I even drank a beer (I don't drink) and I heard it may cause a slight dehydration so I hope that, that isn't the cause for this mini whoosh. I want to keep this up!!! Have a good weekend everyone!

About me: 62, 5'7", hit maintenance in March 2018 and, typical yoyo, currently bouncing back up over original goal weight of 130.
Want to get back to 127-128
Creeping back to JGM10D quietly after intentionally sitting out a number of rounds, because I need the accountability.
11/25 - sick and eating all the sugar in sight
11/26 - ditto
11/27 - 133.6 - a new high for me as I creep back over my original goal weight of 130.
11/28 - 132.6 - under maintenance calories yesterday.
11/29 - 130.8 - under maintenance calories by a nice amount yesterday. I am not setting a weight loss goal at this time, just getting back into logging and staying under maintenance.
11/30 - 130.6 - under maintenance calories, got about 7500 steps in spite of intermittent rain (I know, I am a NorCal wuss!)
12/1 - 130.6 - just at maintenance yesterday with 9000 steps. Slept poorly last night so expecting a challenging day... emo and tired often leads to comfort eating in my world.
Glad to be back on this challenge, you folks help me stay aware!

Goals: Track food and how food affects my digestion.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/24--219.7 Movie and dinner tonight. Hopefully weather holds up so that I can take dog out for a long walk...dog hates the rain.
11/25--218.9 Weather held up yesterday and was able to take dog out. Didn't see a movie, nothing really interested me, but I did go out for dinner. I had planned what I was going to eat before I went out and it was a great feeling to be satisfied and not overly full after going out for dinner. I've already gone out to the gym for today and later today my husband and I are purging the laundry room/storage area and removing some very old/inefficient cabinets in there. Our plan is to eventual paint and lay flooring over the next couple of weekends. Need to get my water in today.
11/26--218.6 Worked on purging the laundry room/storage area yesterday and there is so much more room already. Sore for the gym yesterday. Didn't get all of my water in yesterday, but definitely more than I usually get on the weekend. Working on water again today.
11/27--218.6 Woke up early and went to the gym before going to work. Went to the nutritionist and went over the results of the food allergy test. Not unexpected, but based on the results she wants me to go on an elimination diet starting with eliminating dairy, wheat, and a couple of other foods that I seem to be sensitive to. It's only going to be for 3 weeks before I can start adding back some foods and testing how these foods affect me . She admitted to me that the first week is going to be horrible. After going food shopping, and getting myself mentally prepared, I plan on starting either Friday or Saturday...it's going to be a struggle.
11/28--218.0 Yoga tonight.
11/29--219.5 I'm sure the increase is from DOMS and from the fact that last night I had cookie from one of my favorite bakeries, knowing that I won't be able to have one for awhile, and while it affected my stomach it was really good. Went and did some food shopping and bought some alternatives to foods that I will have to eliminate for awhile. Plan is to start tomorrow.
11/30--218.9 Started with the elimination diet today. Smoothie I tried this morning needs some help, I will work on perfecting it this weekend when I have more time in the morning. Tried two yogurts, one almond based and one coconut based, didn't like either of them. I did try one made of goat's milk yesterday that I like, but not sure if I can have goat milk or if I'm just supposed to refrain from cow milk products, will have to confirm with the nutritionist. Lunch went ok and dinner will be pretty easy. I was planning on going to the gym tonight, but I have to check how many calories I am eating first because I don't want to be exercising without making sure that I am eating enough calories.
12/01--217.1 Definitely water weight loss because of my temporary reduction in wheat. Definitely a struggle yesterday and I had a mini break down this morning trying to figure out what to eat for breakfast. Already went food shopping and need to go to another grocery store later today to get more foods that I can eat. Going to do some more food planning for next week. Assuming weather holds up I will take dog out for a long walk. Digestion still feeling a little unsettled, but I know this won't be a quick fix.

Round 60 (My 14th)
11/24 147.5 Thanksgiving binge (3 days worth!!) is in the past, I ate way too much junk but am not going to dwell on it. Today is a new day, started off well so far and hopefully will stay that way.
11/25 146.5 Hoping this doesn't go back up! I am sort of surprised because I went to a friends for football night last night and there was pina coladas and brownies. I did get some exercise in and plenty of water so I am sure that helped.
11/26 147 I really don't think yesterday's weight was correct. Either way, staying positive and happy with my weight. I didn't drink enough water yesterday though. Plan to get more in today.
11/27 147.5 High calorie dinner and cereal at midnight last night probably caused a little gain.
11/28 147 My weight has been a yo-yo this round. Today started off well and I planned to eat healthy, but my father in law dropped by unexpectedly and brought fast food.
11/29 147 Really wanted to do a fast day this round but it's not looking promising.
11/30 146.5
12/01 146 Light eating day yesterday. I'll take it though 😊.

12/1: 174.8 going to be a long stressful afternoon/evening, I hope I don't undo all the good eating I've done on this challenge

11/24 155.2
11/25 156.2 Two hours hill climbing & some salty food. Feels like legs are re-building muscle! Food has been in control.
11/26 155.6 11K steps, food under
Two SMART Goals from 1pm today through end of this Round:
Goal 1. No eating out. I slowed it down- now time to stop. Effects the quality of my nutrition.
Goal 2. No refined sugar. Have not been eating it often, nor too much, but I could see it growing...
11/27 155.4 16,739 steps fast walk, building up muscles again.
Day 1: Goal 1 ✅ Goal 2 ✅
Slept 💤 7:00 hours❣
11/28 156.4 HIIT (6 intervals) + 7,421 steps
Day 2: Goal 1 ✅ Goal 2 ✅
My scale did not cooperate, but I’m walking much faster & doing the HIIT ie Quads are sore most of time! So likely hanging on to some water. I’m going to stay the course
Slept 💤 7:15 hours❣
11/29 156.4 47 mins walking carrying groceries, moved all day. 11,511 steps
Food clean. Some salt. My Mantra: “Muscles are good. Muscles are good”
Day 3: Goal 1 ✅ Goal 2: ✅ It was hard not to eat out, but I didn’t. I made what I would have gotten at home, and could track it accurately/make it with healthier ingredients. This should get easier in 1-2 days. Powering on...
I’m more concerned with getting my nutrition back where it was (Goals 1 & 2) than the scale right now since I know that re-ifocusing in them will lead to weight loss in the future (as opposed to weight gain, if I don’t get back to them.)
Slept 💤 7:15 hours❣
11/30 155.6 yay back to 155’s very little appetite yesterday. No sugar/eating out makes my cravings go away, again! Hallelujah!🙏🏻 Goal 1 ✅ Goal 2: ✅
Slept 💤 6:40 hours❣
12/1 - 154.8 Yay! Got back there! It’s all about the deficit❣️
Goal 1 ✅ Goal 2: ✅ Much craving to eat out, but I know I just need to break the habit, so I did not succumb. Kept busy. Realized I was not hungry.
