Day/Weight/Comment
11/24 - 245.8..made cake and cupcakes for my sons birthday today, and got into the cupcakes. They were yummy! We're still both sick but excited for his party today. Definitely going to be another high calorie day, but I'm going to enjoy it and then get back on track tomorrow.
11/25 - 245.8..took the day off as planned yesterday and enjoyed my sons birthday. Back at it today though.
11/26 - 243.8...weighed 3 times and it was the same but I still don't believe it. I did not get back on track yesterday as planned and ate at probably around maintenance. Possibly dehydrated as I only had 50 oz of water I think. Still sick and wanting to eat bad things but I will not do it today!!!
11/27 - 243.8?...not really sure. I couldn't stop coughing last night so I wasn't able to get to sleep until 4:30am. Woke at 6:30 when my son woke and weighed in at 246.4. Went back to bed a little later until 2pm and weighed in at 243.8. Oh and I also ate a bunch of chips and cookies with milk when I wasn't able to sleep 🙁 I'm sure I'll be up tomorrow.

@quiltingjaine, I love your picture of your granddaughter , “little one”. My SIL family are all tall so my grandkids will definitely be taller than me. My grandson is 8 and probably in 3 years will be taller than me, hehehe

Round 60

Please join us! Starting on 11/24 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 60
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.

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.

I'm in for this. Hello.
I'm 37, female, from USA. Going to meet my long distance beau of a few months (though we've been talking for a year this month) in January, so very motivated. We're both out of shape/ overweight and both working on it, so this is more about fitness than weight drops. We're hoping for a Jan. 4-6 weekend, so I can do four rounds!

Going for 1 hr cardio per day and 1400-1500 cals.

Did badly the past few, Thanksgiving leftovers, but stayed active. But I did some meal prep this evening so things should be doing better soon!

Confirmed travel plans with the boyfriend today, so that felt good regardless.

Just wanting to do a check-in. Got my hour of cardio today, but it was really hard. I like this thread and hope everyone's doing well, or just coming back to say hi, and stuff. You know, years ago when I had my most success at lowering my weight, I was on Calorie Count. But over the years they changed how their community features worked, and the support was gone. Only the most popular people really got any feedback, and it left you feeling alone. I actually attribute this to their eventual failure as a site. So I hope to be staying in these ten-day challenges for a sense of being part of a group. There may be days where I don't even log calories, but I'll always come here, I think.

11/28: ---
12/03: (final weight)

I'm formally announcing that I won't be taking my weight every single day. I feel like the first, fifth, and tenth day are enough for me. Change isn't overnight and watching little fluctuations feels unneccessary. Right now, I don't think my weight has changed any, but I'm wearing jeans that I haven't put on for a couple of weeks, and they are distinctly, noticeably looser.

I am also doing keto. (Low carb diet was recommended to me by a doctor, and I've put it off long enough.) I'm not counting calories for the next two days, just getting through those first-three-days-to-a-week carb cravings the best way I can. Not gonna beat myself up over the meat and cheese calories as long as I can get that glucose burned off. A short term sacrifice for long term results. Then I will resume calorie logging/ restriction. Last time I did keto for a couple of weeks, the appetite reduction was great. I know I'll have no issue restricting calories too, once I'm burning fat instead of carbs.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

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.

11/24- New start for me. The doctor told me yesterday all I went through to indulge during the holidays. With being on steroids twice, my weight is high having a hard time finding a Christmas dress so no indulging.

11/25- I found a dress, my first big party coming up on Saturday, some of my friends don't even know that I had a brain tumour. Goal this week to get more exercise in.

11/26-Super busy day! My grandson had a very bad cough, took him the doctors office, I never saw it so busy.

11/27- My full day has been spent with my grandson he is only five and he had to take 2 steroids to get his cough to slow down, I will get back on track when he is feeling better.

Cleaned like crazy today. Plumber came and fixed kitchen sink. Prepped for soup. Walked and did quite a few exercises at home. Washed 5 days of dishes only to find the water from the kitchen was backing up into the bathroom sink and overflowing under the sink, the bathroom floor, the hall outside the bath, part of the closet outside the bath, through the floor to the basement under the water heater,washer and dryer etc. Plumber back tomorrow. Dishes clean though, lol, only ate some dark choc and walnuts, diet soda extra after. I am sure I burned it off with the stress. Still a big mess with newspaper, towels, blankets, tablecloths whatever soaking up everything..........I need a vacation. Still trying to get my water in..... almost there.

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.

@deepwoodslady sorry for the late response, thank you for the shout out. It really lifted my spirits and got me moving . I am tired of being sad and I want get myself back into it, start feeling better, healthier and stronger. I love exercise!! I just need to remember that.

@shunggie when the weather is horrible and I don't feel like braving it, I go onto YouTube and search walking videos. You can do it infront of the tv in your nice warm house and it doesn't need much space. Trust me, it works and gets you moving

11/24 weights session (legs and glutes) and did lots of meal prep to help keep me on track
11/25 no exercise but did manage over 10k steps thanks to doing a bit of housework!
11/26 stayed under calorie goal but did snack on chocolate a bit more than usual, need to keep an eye on that to ensure it doesn't get out of control (I'm a chocolate fiend 🙈😂🤷🏼‍♀️)
11/27 chocolate snacking got out of control again. Going to make a conscious effort to make better choices tomorrow!

11/24 - 241.4lb - slightly down from yesterday but I’m ok with that, my lowest yet so not too disheartened.
11/25 - didn’t weigh -
11/26 - 242.8lb - slightly up from the weekend but I didn’t go over calories so will just be water retention (snore same old story). Today is a low calorie day, going for a walk this morning and then a food shop following that.
11/27 - 241.5lb - - a bit disappointed created a really decent deficit yesterday and was ever hopeful of a new low this morning but I’m still ever so slightly up. Just got to keep persevering however do find it demotivating when the scales don’t instantly reflect my actions 😅. Hopefully I will see a decent drop in the next few days
11/28 - 242lb - it’s times like this that I despair and feel like it’s all for nothing. Yesterday was all tracked and again a deficit created, in the last two days Iv had a deficit of 3700 kcal and yet my scales are saying I’m higher 😩🤦🏻‍♀️. I know it’s water weight because well science, but it doesn’t help me find motivation to keep on going until I see it reflected. Today is a low calorie day so who knows for tomorrow. *fluctuations are normal fluctuations are normal fluctuations are bloody f&£@#*€ annoying but normal 😩*

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/24 - 62.6 kg (138.0 lbs.). +800g from yesterday. Eat my favorite Italian salami. Did my strength training in the morning. Back on the track!
11/25 - 62.2 kg (137.1 lbs.). “Six-pack in 6 weeks” in the morning. Planning my longer freestyle (running + walking) in the afternoon, aiming, at least, for 13km (8 miles).
11/26 - 61.8 kg (136.2 lbs.). Completed yesterday my 8 miles Freestyle and strength training today in the morning.
11/27 - 62.0 kg (136.7 lbs.). Somebody should eat less! “Six-pack in 6 weeks” in the morning.
11/28 – Didn’t weigh today. Frustration from trying to find what to wear for the company’s annual dinner on Friday was TOO BIG. I never thought that the feeling when the clothes are just hanging on you can be comparable with too tight fit. In everyday life I wear normally pullovers and jeans so the difference is not so obvious. Yesterday I tried the skirts and pants and jackets and all these looked so miserable… I think I should reconsider my strategy, meaning stabilize my weight in the range from 60 to 62 kg and concentrate on muscle building. I don’t think I have fat to lose anymore. I also have to find the way to increase my calories somehow, although 1200 is enough for me. I mean “good” and not empty calories.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/24 - 245.8..made cake and cupcakes for my sons birthday today, and got into the cupcakes. They were yummy! We're still both sick but excited for his party today. Definitely going to be another high calorie day, but I'm going to enjoy it and then get back on track tomorrow.
11/25 - 245.8..took the day off as planned yesterday and enjoyed my sons birthday. Back at it today though.
11/26 - 243.8...weighed 3 times and it was the same but I still don't believe it. I did not get back on track yesterday as planned and ate at probably around maintenance. Possibly dehydrated as I only had 50 oz of water I think. Still sick and wanting to eat bad things but I will not do it today!!!
11/27 - 243.8?...not really sure. I couldn't stop coughing last night so I wasn't able to get to sleep until 4:30am. Woke at 6:30 when my son woke and weighed in at 246.4. Went back to bed a little later until 2pm and weighed in at 243.8. Oh and I also ate a bunch of chips and cookies with milk when I wasn't able to sleep 🙁 I'm sure I'll be up tomorrow.
11/28 - 243.8...probably dehydration, didn't have much of anything to drink yesterday.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/24: 67.6 - Went for a run yesterday, was expecting it to be a short one as I was shattered, and then ended up running 5.5k (aka, longest I've run so far). It was tough to begin with, but after the first km I settled into it and kept taking the longer options. Even at the end I felt like I could've gone longer in my lungs, but it was my legs that were starting to feel it, so I kicked ahead and sprinted for the last 250m or so, just to tire me out. Food wise. It was good! Even without the run it would've been okay, but with it it was very good. And first mince pie of the season! Yum!
11/25: No weigh in
11/26: No weigh in
11/27: 68.3

11/28: 67.7 - Aaaaand back down again. Not a wonderful day's eating yesterday, I've started to feel a little groggy again, so I'm not sure that's helping. Yet another day eating over calories, and I'm sure that today is going to be going in very much the same direction (thanks to the work bake off that's happening today). Ugh, I'm feeling like my eating plan is starting to get a little away from me, winter tends to do this for me. I'm going to have to knuckle down and remind myself as to why I'm doing this, and what my goals are.

11/25 - 70.5kg (weighed in afternoon)
11/26 - 70.9 in the morning after Pizza and chocolate last night. Started my day with yoga and back to logging today. I ate some food I didn't weigh, but estimated generously. Went for a treadmill run and weighed after my shower (before dinner) and weighed 69.9!!!! No idea how this happened, but it made me so happy
11/27 69.9!!! Forgot to post yesterday. Good day foodwise a few snacks in the eve and some wine, but almost within limits after an hour on the treadmill (running and walking)

11/28 69.5 I'm baffled, not sure what is happening here. But i'm not complaining
The morning so far was good. Now off to a conference for the afternoon, food will be a wild guess... Will have a forced rest day today because I won't be able to make time.
