JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 63

wellnfree

24th Round for me: Female 65, height 5’
I feel like I’m at the beginning of a new year. Usually we have company or go away but this year decided to do our visiting in spring and fall and stay put for winter - avoiding all the stress of driving in the snow in the mountains. I’m enjoying the peacefulness of it but my mind is jumping ahead to 2019.

Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2
Round 40 – on holidays, gain +1.6
Round 41 – SW 164.4, loss -2
Round 42 - SW: 162.6, loss -.6
Round 43 – SW 162, loss -.4
Round 44 – SW 161.6, loss -1.6
Round 45 – SW 160.8, gain +1
Round 46 – SW 161.8, gain +.6
Round 47 – SW 162.4, loss -2.2
Round 48 – SW 160.2, missed most of this round and Round 49 as I was away without computer or scale.
Round 50 – SW 160.2, loss -.8
Round 51 – SW 160.8, loss -1
Round 52 – on holidays, no scale
Round 53 – SW 159.8, loss -1.4
Round 54 – SW 158.4, gain +.6
Round 55 – SW 159.4, +2.4
Round 56 – SW 161.9, -.3
Round 57 – SW 161.6, No change
Round 58 – SW 161.6, -.4
Round 59 – SW 161.2, +.4
Round 60 – SW 161.6, -.8
Round 61 – 160.8, -.6
Round 62 – 160.2, +.4

Goal this round: 159ish. I was down here in Oct. and having so much trouble getting back there. Right now even ½ lb. per round would seem great.
I’m going to apply to go on a short course in April. That is 13-14 weeks away (about 9 rounds). So my more immediate goal is to lose 1 lb/round. The course is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time – I don’t have to lose weight for it but it would be sweet if I did.
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/24 – 160.6 – Bought some borscht yesterday for a quick lunch, seemed way saltier than usual. Also made up some shrimp dip with light cream cheese (we used to always do it at Christmas but even with the light stuff is pretty high calorie) So not a great day yesterday although no LNS. Calories probably at maintenance.
12/25 – 161.2
12/26 – 161. 6 – Found a spiced beef roast deep in the freezer and decided to cook it for Christmas since dh is not a fan of turkey and we’ve had ham several times lately. Put potatoes and veg. in with it for an easy meal and it was amazing. Made angel food cake with lots of whipped cream – only got the small cream so it will soon be gone and not tempting me. Can’t remember when there has been just the two of us for Christmas but it was nice. Buckets of snow today (we live in the snowbelt) so feel for our neighbors’ kids who headed out early this am. At least our roads are just wet so likely only the passes will be nasty.

Thanks @Birder165 --This one doesn't have alcohol. Great planning for New Year's Eve. I am in the process as you can see. I want to make a crabmeat dip--this time with FF cream cheese. Never did it FF before. It has cranberries that I am making homemade with Stevia. I better get something tried and true, though, for standby in case I don't like the new additions.

Oh, I've never tried crabmeat dip let alone one with cranberries. Is that new for you? I like making my own cranberries, too. It's so easy! I haven't had it often but I remember FF cream cheese being alright, maybe a bit grainy? But not unappetizing, at least not to me. It's smart of you to be planning ahead ... good going!

salleewins

@Birder165--this dip has been around for awhile. I am trying to make it with less calories and fat this year. Although I haven't made it for a few holiday seasons as of late. We will see how the experiment goes.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/24 - 199.5 I logged my food even if it wasn't pretty.
12/25 - 200 all the sweet treats are gone! back to the gym tomorrow
12/26 - 200 seeing the high % of carbs in my diet (due to sugar) has been illuminating! Grocery shopping tomorrow, and aiming to just NOT buy the treats that get me into trouble. I know it's cliche, but I'm looking forward to the "New Year, New Me" restart.

Now shooting for 150 lbs to see what I look like since 153.5 is much better than 155. Curious how body will look at 150.

You will look fabulous, of course. And better yet, you will feel great too.
I'm very proud of you.
On a personal note, I have NOT given up. This round will be tough as I have so many holiday commitments, but I will meet you there at 150 at some marvelous point in 2019. I, too, plan on looking fabulous right along with YOU!
Great job Girl!

12/27 - 240.2lb- well that was a good few days but I always planned to get back on today so here I am. Just doing my shopping list at the moment ready to get back on track and get rid of what I’ve put on. Some of it will be genuine gain however some of it I’m sure is water so will be interesting how the next few days go.

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!

End R60: 256.6 (-2.2)
End R61: 252.0 (-4.6)
End R62: 254.8 (+2.8)

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!

I’m in for this round and plan to really get with the plan! I’ll set my goal in the morning when I weigh. See y’all!

Round SW -191.8
End round GW -187.0

This is a big goal to achieve in the next 10 days, but I am ready to get serious again. No more holiday plans except a reined in Christmas lunch with my father in law. Think Thanksgiving feast but reduced by about 2/3rds.

12/24 -191.8
12/25 - 190.6 (down 1.2 pounds so far)
12/26 - 191.0 up just a bit but I am okay with that. Lots of cooking and sampling along the way for Christmas but still did pretty good. Most of the treats are out of the house and I have to go back to work today so I am expecting good results for tomorrow’s weigh in.
12/27 - 109.6 on my way again. Gotta stay strong.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/24 - 241.8...didn't get enough water and had a high sodium supper.
12/25 - 242.8...actually stayed within calories yesterday and got lots of water...weighed earlier than normal though. Oh well. Merry Christmas!!🎄🎄
12/26 - 242.8...considering all I ate yesterday I'm very happy with that...dinner was super yummy and I stuffed myself on it! I got a Fitbit for Christmas and I'm pretty excited. I had a cheap knock off before that worked okay but didn't have heartrate. So far the Fitbit seems to give me few more steps than my other one though.
12/27 - 244.8..I ate a lot of leftovers yesterday and chocolate and popcorn. And I don't think I drank any water 😐 I'm going out of town tomorrow until Sunday evening and I won't be tracking. We have a girls drinks night planned which will involve snacks, and a couple of family dinners to go to. Back on track starting Monday.

Heaviest Weight: 213
Recent Start Weight: 193 (January 2017)

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

Day/Weight/Comment
12/24 - 145 - Saturday's party just showed up on the scale. My Grandson is coming over to make Christmas cookies with me tonight. I'm enjoying every minute of this. I'll have plenty of time in January to make up for these indulgences.

12/26 - 147 - At least I'm still enjoying myself!
12/27 - 146.5 - Some of the family left yesterday evening and I'm back in the office for a couple days. I'm going to try to eat at weight loss calories for the next few days until the New Year's and football game festivities begin with the remaining family this weekend. NSV - Yesterday, my very fit and thin SIL and I walked to a local Lululemon store. She loves the workout gear and we've been walking over there the day after Christmas for several years now. At 186 or so pounds, I never found anything there that I thought would fit or look decent on me, especially for the price. Well, I ended up finding and buying a pair of size 8 travel pants that were on sale. My SIL was so excited for me.

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.

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!

12/24 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!!!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/24--215.1 Whoosh! Hopefully it will hold. I'm a federal government who is furloughed, so the unexpected time off right now is pretty sweet. I just need to make sure that I don't derail my eating while I'm off work, I find that I snack a lot when I'm bored. So to give myself something to do I made a list of things that I need to do around the house that I have been putting off and I'm going to work on a couple of the tasks every day while I am off. Went to the gym today for weightlifting, this is not my usual weightlifting day but the gym is closed tomorrow. The sun is out today, which is shocking in the PNW for this time of the year, so assuming the weather holds up I will be taking the dog out for a walk this evening.
12/25--215.1 Weight still holding. Sinus pressure came back yesterday, I think it's from the 3 pieces of milk chocolate I had on Sunday. Going out for Christmas dinner.
12/26--215.6 I usually have a weight jump up to 2 days afterwards, so I won't be surprised if there is another gain tomorrow. Today is closet organizing day, so I'm going to organize all of the closets today. Some closets will definitely be easier than others. Yoga later tonight.
12/27--214.9 Very surprised to see this number, I was expecting a bump up. Already been to this gym this morning to do some weightlifting. Closets were done yesterday, so the main thing today is cleaning/organizing the laundry/storage room and taking down the Christmas tree. I may also sneak in an afternoon nap.

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.

12/24 131.5 Back in ketosis. Going to our daughter’s for crafting with some friends late this morning, need to make or buy something snacky but okay for everyone’s WOE. Our family tradition is pizza on Christmas Eve but I think the pizza places will be closed by the time DSIL gets home from work so we’ll make our own. Right now I need to make an apple pie for a neighbor! See you all tomorrow!
12/25 133.0 DD made chicken pizza crust and our dinner was really great! Then DD, DSIL, DH, and I played canasta. I haven’t played that in well over 50 years. It was fun but I really don’t like playing cards. Merry Christmas everyone!
12/26 132.0 Just the two of us yesterday. Rotisseried a chicken and found a recipe hack for Boston Market butternut squash. Chicken bones simmering overnight in the slow cooker.
