I’ve been in maintenance for several months until the holidays, content at around 146. I am now OVER the point at which I didn’t want to be again (150), so I’ll be getting back on track to lose back down to at least around 146 or so. May try to go lower in the new year, but we will see. For the immediate future, I just want to get and stay back under 150.
Goal for round 63= 149.x
Day/Weight/Comment
12/24= 150.8 Still a couple more celebrations to survive, then back on track.
12/25= 153 Christmas meals and treats. Going to drink lots of water today.
12/26= 153.4 There you have it. My Christmas high. I’m owning it, realizing there’s lots of work to do in the coming days to not only lose the weight but make it past the sugar/carb cravings that will have increased due to these indulgent last however many days. Good luck in “recovery” friends.
12/27= 151.4 It felt really good yesterday to eat healthy again! Got in a bike ride and a walk on the beach, too. Bought an adorable pair of exercise leggings that I will be a walking in today! :-) (Why does something so silly make me feel good?) LOL
12/28= 152.6 Ate healthy again all day (cooked at home too), but did a lot of exercise, so maybe this is water weight from muscle fatigue. That’s what I’m hoping anyway.

I confess, I've gone crazier with baked goods this Christmas than I have since I started this journey 4 years ago. And that's ok, and I'll let myself eat today and tomorrow. But then I'm getting back on track with another elimination diet round. Although I didn't think the elimination diet I followed last fall made much difference, my pain has increased since I started this food free-for-all for the holidays, and that tells me that food is a factor. I'm considering the past month a reset. Not to re-lose the extra 5 pounds and get healthy. But merry Christmas Eve, those who celebrate, and happy everything to everyone else!
12/25 – 135 - 1717
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate the holiday, and may the spirit of this season of holidays touch us all.
12/26 – 135 - 1791
Happy Boxing Day! Also "get closer to on track" day for me. It won't be perfect as we're going out to lunch and I do plan to have one more piece of the mince pie I baked and maybe a piece or two of brown-sugar fudge, but my big fat sugar fest (very unusual for me, even at holidays - don't know what got into me this year!) is over. Also heading for the Y this morning for a walk and I have a session tomorrow with a trainer to work out a work out that won't hurt my inflamed joints. I hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday, whether celebrating Christmas or just life.
12/27 – 136 - 1824
Yikes! Some is water since we went to Bob Evans for lunch yesterday, but still, YIKES! I'm awake now, cutting the desserts, and planning to re-start the anti-inflammatory routine this weekend. My new goal for 2019 is 125 pounds - so a pound a month will do it. I've set up 3 coaching appointments at the Y to create some outside accountability and am ordering some cold-weather hiking clothes so I can comfortably get my butt outside, cold or not. (8 years living on the southern NC coast has made me a cold weather weenie!) Onward!
12/28 – 136 - 1892
I had an orientation session at the Y yesterday so I have no more excuse not to get back to weight training, and my fist coaching session is next week. I felt really good yesterday afternoon and evening after even the short session + short time on stationary bike, so I'm looking forward to getting back at it! And I'm going to make a supreme effort to get my butt out of bed early to swim laps when the pool is vewy, vewy quiet, if my shoulder pain allows. Now to cut back on calories, but that shouldn't be hard since all the goodies are gone now but for one small piece of mince pie with my name on it.
Back to fish and veggies and fruit and whole grains.... I find it important to start my re-starts before Jan. 1 so I'm already rolling. Anyone else feel that way? (Recognizing that most of you didn't go quite so crazy this round and last!)

Goal for this round is to maintain. If I lose, it'll be a Christmas miracle.
12/23 - 254.8 - End weight of R62. Start weight for R63.
12/24 - 255.6
12/25 - 255.6 - I weighed in 2 hours earlier than I did yesterday morning. I finally had a decent day of eating yesterday and stayed within my new 1650 calorie limit. MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
12/26 - 255.6 - This is a definite win for me. I ate at maintenance yesterday but had a lot of sodium. I'm doing so much better this year than last even though I'm up from my lowest of 252 in R61. Other years, it's nothing for me to pack on 10 pounds during the holidays and stay that way or go even higher and of course, give up trying altogether. This time it will be different.
12/27 - 254.2 - There's my Christmas miracle! Well, maybe it's more like a stocking stuffer but I'll take it!
12/28 - 253.4 - I'm happy about this.

12/24 - 183.2 Third day in a row! I had the first of 4 Christmas dinners yesterday. I walked three miles before the dinner and with the exercise calories - I stayed within goal. Normally I eat back less than half but for the holiday I made an exception. Another dinner today, one tomorrow and then one next weekend. I might be able to walk later today but I doubt it. No walk tomorrow either. I'm going to be jumpy by Wednesday.
12/25 - 183.9 Still ok with this. I'm pretty sure it's sodium as I did not go over on calories yesterday. I didn't get a chance to walk and probably won't today either. My family will be here in a few hours and we'll do Christmas with dinner and treats. I have been able to stay out of most of the treats I made, but I made candied pecans for the first time this year and they were VERY hard to stay out of with their cinnamon deliciousness. Merry Christmas everyone!
12/26 - 182.8 WooHoo! I'm sure it's short lived. I cooked and hosted so much yesterday I didn't really eat and I got in a 2 mile walk before everyone got there. I've made it thru the first 3 Christmas dinners without a gain. I have one more on Saturday then I'm done. I got an Apple Watch for Christmas and LOVE IT!
12/27 - No scale I ended up spending the night with a friend so no weigh in. I would guess I'm a little higher today due to a sodium, though I'm under on calories. I got in a good work out at the gym last night. Should walk today but it's going to be rainy and cold. I'm too tired anyway; no more sleepovers on school nights for me.
12/28 - 183.4 Up a little but no biggie. I did end up walking 4 miles yesterday though in two spurts. I had assumed it was going to rain all afternoon/evening so I got in 1.5 miles at lunch. When I got off work I had time for another walk before picking up my BF at the airport. I found another new trail that is awesome and close to the airport. The trail is wooded and peaceful though VERY hilly. If things keep going this way I'll be 182.X by the end of the round. It's going to be challenging to walk outside the next few weeks but I'll figure out something.

I'm in. My 4th round but starting over. In the last week, I have completely undone all the work I did in the last three rounds. Im going to look on the bright side - I can do this, I've done it before and I can do it again. I have tracked my weight every day for the past several years. On today's date one year ago, I was 22 lbs lighter. That is my goal for this next year. I love this challenge and reading all of the posts help support and motivate me. Looking forward to this round going into 2019. Good luck everyone. May we all be 22+ lbs lighter this time next year.
12/24: 177.0

Still got too many leftovers in the house. Better start to this day. Family stuff is done so no excuses. Merry Christmas one and all.
12/26: 176.0 This is a great loss but I'm sure it's just water weight gained from all the ham eaten. It sure gives me a boost tho to see the lower weight.
12/27: 176.0 Still trying to stay out of that Christmas chocolate. No time today so that will help. Eating out tonight. I will try to be mindful of my choices.
12/28: 174.8 Very nice to see. Ate out at Subway. It's easy for me to make good choices there.15 -

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!

12/24 207.0. Now that I see my numbers up top I realize I only gained a pound during a very busy time when I was sick and work was very stressful. I’m up again today but I think that is mainly due to two very salty dinners in a row. Gotta drink lots of water today!!
12/25 - did not weigh
12/26 - did not weigh
12/27 - 208.8. I’m back and ready to bring this number down. I couldn’t bring myself to weigh in yesterday. This number isn’t horrible but I can’t wait until it comes down again. I feel heavy and lethargic which needs to change.
12/28 - 209.2. I was hoping this number would go down lol! I had some salty food yesterday so I think that might be part of it. This was a good wake up call for me. Need to get back to basics.11 -
@susiemcmac, I love it when the scale starts moving the right way, woot hoot. Enjoy the gym, 👍🏼

12/27 - 177.2 getting back to weight loss calories is a challenge after 6 weeks at maintenance and a few splurge days. Thank goodness for exercise calories. Happy third day of Xmas - the decorations will remain until 12th night but the treats will be gone today.
12/28 - 176.2 This was a nice surprise - after pizza and cookies yesterday. Exercise routine is back on track now to get the meal planning going again.

12/24 Monday - 174.8 - late night snacking got me last night. Enjoying the next two days without regret and may or may not log. Aiming to maintain again this round, especially ending the round on the 2nd we usually do a buffett for new years eve so being realistic. I have a crazy headache today so I'm hitting the water hard.
12/25 - DNW
12/26 - Wednesday - 176.6 - No surprise there as I enjoyed yesterday without holding back and without logging. Back at it today though! Lots of water at work - DH made beef stew for lunches this week. And I've got some yummy teriyaki salmon cakes to make for dinner tonight!
12/27 - Thursday - 176.6 - Weird day yesterday; both schedule wise and eating wise. Got into work, then had to leave at noon for our wood delivery. Spent the last 2 hours of daylight stacking. Ate dinner. Still hungry, ate ramen noodles?! Havent done that in a long time - used to live on that junk. Got up early and moved some more wood, probably got about a cord stacked with another cord we have to get done tonight because snow/rain is due in tonight and it will absolutely kill me to see this beautiful kiln dried wood sit in a pile in the rain so we'll be working in the dark tonight. Atleast I'll get my exercise in! Eating what we have available, sandwich for lunch and leftover stew for dinner. Need to get cracking on my water!!!
12/28 - Friday - 174.6 - back in the right direction. Stacking wood for hours helped too, but I was starving and ate all the calories back. Anyway, working from home today and need to grocery shop later so I'll try to find a balance and drink enough water. Got another headache today, they had all but disappeared for a while but seem to be more frequent lately and id like to curtail that, just gotta figure out exactly whats causing them to return again.

ROUND 63 (Round 10 for me)
5’5” 66 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 135-140 lb.
Started Keto WOE on September 24th (2018). Still experiencing decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain since the second week of Keto. Staying within calorie limits is easy enough, but not exceeding my carb limit is difficult. Per my KetoMojo meter, I’m in ketosis most of the time. Some of my NSVs: my wedding band fits, I wear smaller clothing, and my progress has encouraged my husband to try harder to end his cigarette habit.
Rounds 54 – 62 resulted in a cumulative loss of 27.2 lb.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/24 149.8 Finally below 150! I failed to attain my goal of less than 150 lb. in the last round, but here it is! Now I have to keep it going down. Yesterday was too busy to take a walk before dark, and walking our roads after dark is too dangerous—wild hogs, drunk drivers, etc. This afternoon should be perfect for a walk. First, I have to pick up a pecan pie (and discipline myself to have one bite each day when my husband has a slice), and I have to trade my nephew’s gift out—I realized I dropped off the bag with new wigs for my mother-in-law instead of his toy. Oops! He’d probably have fun with the wigs, but they’ll look better on her.
12/25 149.6 I plan to eat popcorn today, so I expect a little gain tomorrow. (I hope it’s little.) Thor, my GSD, and I had a nice 4 mile walk with cloudy, but comfortable weather. He’s a great walking companion, and he loves going with me. We saw my husband’s kids Saturday and won’t see mine until this coming Sunday. It seems a little strange not rushing around to make last minute preparations for company, but it’s nice, too. We decided to take it easy today—see a movie, eat out, celebrate each other, and, especially, celebrate the birth or our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Merry Christmas to all!
12/26 148.6 We went to a movie yesterday and enjoyed ourselves. I ate popcorn, too—not a lot, but enough to make me feel like I splurged. I’m happy to see it didn’t show on the scale, at least, not yet. The only open restaurant was a Chinese buffet, but I was able to select keto-friendly foods. I read my fortune, advising me to pay attention to minor details, but I didn’t eat the fortune cookie. 😊 I was disappointed yesterday evening that my husband wasn’t hungry for pecan pie, so I didn’t get my bite. Maybe today…. Nothing but rain/thunderstorms in today’s forecast, so it doesn’t look Thor and I will walk. I think I’ll follow the example of @taxgirl1 and organize my closets. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.
12/27 148.8 Tiny gain, but I had a pretty big loss yesterday, so I won’t complain. Playing cards with my friends today—probably canasta. Unlike my husband, I really enjoy card games and domino games. My singing group took a month off for Thanksgiving/Christmas, so we have to practice early this evening for a concert Sunday evening. There'll be no walk with Thor today. My husband skipped the pecan pie again last night, which meant I skipped my bite, but I ate one of his dark chocolate chip cookies. He’s been eating the cookies I baked and taking some to work. At Christmas, he took leftover pecan pie to a coworker, with my blessing. I must be patient. He’s probably trying to do me a favor. I already put half of the new pecan pie in the freezer to take to my boys on Sunday.
12/28 148.2 No time for a walk yesterday, but I enjoyed my card games with friends, and practice with my Magnolia sisters. Before the card game, I couldn’t find a blouse in my closet that wasn’t too baggy. It's time to open my “shrunken clothing” tubs (I really have them labeled that way.). I’m a shrinking woman! Hooray! I still haven’t had another bite of the pecan pie, but I’m surviving. Last night, the pie baker went to practice with me, and I found out the pecan pies she bakes contain 5 cups of pecans! That’s crazy. Being the nut lover I am, it's no wonder I'm so fond of her pie.

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.
I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

Not sure what to expect in this round, being the Holidays, I guess my goal will be not to see anything starting with 18 in the average.
12/24 – 178 - The gathering at our friends house yesterday was fun, there was a nice roast beef with potatoes and asparagus. There were a lot of people and not as much food as there could have been so it was a win for me! Merry Christmas everyone!
12/25 – 179.2
12/26 – 180.8 I’m sure a lot of this was sodium from the chips I ate the last couple of days.

12/26 179.4. Up again. Managed to lose my last post in my notes, so creating a new one without beginning of the month stuff. I accept my upswing...it was well earned on Xmas day. Now I’m REALLY ready to start again (she says with determination, yet again!!!)

Start Weight - 191
Goal Weight - 140 - 150
12/24 – 191.8 - totally expected this gain and expect more to come in the next few days so I'm not bummed about it. Husband and I are partied out and will be having a quiet dinner at home tomorrow. I'm making grocery list for the rest of the week and will be heading to the store shortly. Bring on the veggies and lean proteins! Light snow falling and more expected tomorrow. Looks like we'll have a White Christmas.
12/25 – 191.2 – Just a fluke…it will go up soon enough. Yesterday I shopped, came home and roasted parsnips, carrots and sweet potatoes for a breakfast hash for the short work week. I was so busy during the day I really didn’t eat much then overate at dinner time which was a little later than usual. My lunches are already made. Lots of veggies and some rotisserie chicken breast I picked up. No White Christmas. They keep saying snow but it’s mostly just drizzle. Merry Christmas to all!
12/26 – 191.2 - Official weigh-in today...maybe this will hold and I won't see the big gain I was expecting. I'm still down .8 overall since last weigh-in so I'll take it. Finally got our snow. Enough to bring out the plows and make the neighborhood kids happy. They can build snowmen and play with any new snow toys they might have gotten for Christmas. Hope everyone had an enjoyable day yesterday. Healthy eating and water drinking today is the plan.
12/27 – 190.6 - Say WHAT?! Just goes to show...the body is a strange thing. I'm still a little skeptical but putting me so close to the 180's sure is exciting! Ate well yesterday and had lots of water. Still a little over in my calories but I'm dialing things in. Very icy roads this morning. White knuckled it all the way to work even though I'm less than two miles away and have a 4-Wheel drive. Going back to read everyone's progress. Hope you all make it a healthy day.
12/28 – - Ok, I can't remember if my scale said 190.2 or 191.2, lol! I get up at 5am and sometimes my brain is too foggy to comprehend anything.
I ordered a FitBit Versa a few days ago and it came yesterday. Husband and I got it mostly set up last night. Still a few things to learn but I think I'm going to like it. Will weigh tomorrow and hopefully remember what the scale says. 
Pizza night tonight but I've lightened it up...thin crust, ham, pineapple, tomato. Refuse to give up my Friday pizza so I just make adjustments where I can. Congrats to all those whose scale is going in the right direction and hugs to those whose scale is still not playing nice.

After a very frustrating round 62, let's hope for a better round 63. Really need to get rid of whatever illness I have going on!
Ended R62 at 171
12/24: 170.4 Not that bad, I suppose. Gonna go get some running in for the first time in five days. Gotta earn my movie popcorn for tonight!
12/25: Decided to enjoy Christmas not worrying about a number. I did get an apple watch, so let's hope those activity rings motivate me!
12/26: 169.0 SO EXCITED. Praying that I can stay below 170! I know this has been the endless area for a lot of us. Just gotta work my butt off to keep going!
12/27: So I forgot to weigh myself this morning Had an early (and exciting) morning! Hoping for a good number tomorrow though.
12/28: 168.2 Hopefully gonna get to the gym today!

I’m back again for another round. I’m still just working on maintenance for this round. Lots of family in town and we have Christmas and New Years. My goal would be to end this round at 151 or 150. Round 64 is when I will be back on track and hopefully be in the 140 decade finally! Good luck everyone.
SW: 178
End R62: 152.3
Day/Weight/Comment
12/24 - 153.0 up a little from last round, but started doing all the cooking for our Christmas Eve dinner so completely not a surprise.
12/25 - 155.0 up some more. Drank a lot of beer and ate a lot of food yesterday. Had an amazing time with all the family though. I’m glad I get to go back to work tomorrow and get back on schedule. Love the holidays, but glad I am done with Christmas this year.
12/26 - 156.3 Up some more. Wow 4 pounds in 3 days. Hopefully it is a lot of water weight and sodium and just crap that I normally don’t eat that will get out soon. I think I gained 6 pounds over Thanksgiving so I guess 4 isn’t terrible. Sucks being over 155 again though. Back at work today and lots of water and clean food is what I have planned. Oh well, it happens once a year, so I will suck it up and take it for what it is.
12/27 - 153.7 going back down. Did well yesterday. Drank lots of water and stayed on track for the most part. Did have some friends stop by unexpectedly and had a couple of drinks with them. I think this would have been a little lower if not for that. Hopefully I will see that 151 or 152 tomorrow. I am just counting the days until these holidays are over, lol.
12/28 - 152.3 Half way through this round and going back in the right direction. I'm back where I was at the end of the last round, so can't complain. One more weekend of entertaining, food, drinks, and fun. Then I am back going full force. I so want to be in the 140's already. I have been so close this entire month. Next round for sure, hopefully, lol!
