JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 63

motheroftwins95

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
12/25: 178.4 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.

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!

12/24 – 135 - 1674
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
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate the holiday, and may the spirit of this season of holidays touch us all.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/24 - 11st 11.8lb - another .2lb increase that I did not expect as I was so careful yesterday. However, at 1246 calories I was slightly over the 1200 calories but I still had 113 exercise calories left.

12/25 - unable to weigh in as I am not at home. Had breakfast followed by traditional Toblerone and glass of Champagne. Late rising and son rose even later. He is only now cooking Christmas dinner for the two if us

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.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/24 - 153.0 up a little from last round, but started doing all the cooking fornout 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. 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.

Original Start Weight: 167.5 (April 2017)
Round Start Weight: 151.0 (12/23/18)
Round Goal Weight: enh, it's Christmas, I'll be good-ish, but so long as my gain is small I'll be happy
Ultimate Goal Weight:135 (ish. Maybe higher if I get some muscle.)

Day/Weight/Comment
12/24 150.6 (-0.4 from yesterday, -0.4 from round start) Ah, giving myself a little tiny drop to start off. I won't be weighing about food for the next couple days, and I have a dinner out with friends on the 29th and on the 1st, and NYE is generally spent "grazing" snacky things. So I know going into this that this round is almost certainly ending in a gain, and I'm okay with that. A pound or two up won't derail my overall progress and I'm alright with there being some "food traditions" that we stick to.

12/25 150.4 (-0.2 from yesterday, -0.6 from round start) I'm sure it'll be up tomorrow. I'm thoroughly enjoying my stocking goodies, and just lounging around enjoying my gifts - and enjoying watching my people enjoy their gifts.

12/24 - Out of town
12/25 - 87.9 kg (193.7 lbs)
Yesterday I was out of town and I took many carbs, sugar and fat... Today I went to my dietitian for the second time. It looks like I lost 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) fat and gain 1kg (2.2 lbs) muscle in a week. She said that it might be wrong so we'll decide according to next weigh in. My first week with diet isn't great, however, I really decreased my calorie intake a lot. I hope I really lost weight.
12/26 - 87.8 kg (193.5 lbs) (before bathroom)
Yesterday was not bad, however, I cannot eat according to diet. It's hard to eat regularly in my irregular life. Sometimes I work at home sometimes I work at university and sometimes at cafe/library.

The crackers have been pulled, the wrapping paper binned,
and when i stepped onto the scale, I knew that I had sinned.
That tempting festive food, so tasty on the lips,
has decided to stay around a while upon my aching hips.
So it's back upon the treadmill to huff and puff and sweat.
When you enjoy the piper, you have to pay the debt.


🎄 Boxing Day Greetings 🎄

• Let's face it! We are all human.
• Christmas is a time for celebration. We can CHOOSE whether or not to indulge.
• As long as we do so in moderation, there shouldn't be too much damage.
• Indulgence has it's consequences, but they are only temporary.
• Own them, and get back on track.

Vigilance is Key! [/b][/color]

25/12: 166.1: Goals ✅ It is what it is. 🎄 Christmas!!!🎄
26/12: 168.9: Goals ✅ Goal was to do better than previous years. The jury is still out!
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!

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.

12/24 - 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.

UTMom81

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

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.
