01/03 - 182.0 Happy with this.
01/04 - 181.9 I weighed myself twice this morning and got two different numbers, so this is the average. Crossing my fingers!
01/05 - 183.2 Well that's not very nice! I was over my calories yesterday but I'm guessing this has more to do with water retention or something. Oh well, off to Pilates!
01/06 - 183.0
01/07 - 182.6
01/08 - 185.4 I didn't even want to post this, but I'm pretty sure it must just be water retention since I ate out last night. That's what I'm telling myself....

Hi. I am new to the MFP community and this is my first round of a challenge. I am a mom of two young kids and custom cake and macaron baker (I know).

Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 = 160 So far so good with my eating. I kind of hate being back on the wagon, but the day is almost over, so very little opportunity left to fall off.
01/04 = 158.5 very happy to see the scale move in the right direct for the first day, even if I know, intellectually, one day's change is pretty meaningless. Today was a good day for moving and good for eating. I found my lost fitbit and stuck it on the charger so I can be more accurate with sleep and step tracking.
01/05 = 158.1 Yesterday was a good day. Hit all my water in and didn't snack late night, even though I really wanted to. Today will be tougher because we are going to a brewery for lunch with friends and they don't have nutritional information available. I have to guess.
01/06 = 157.1 restuarant visit yesterday went well. I'm doing a dry January, so even though we ate at a brewery, I avoided the most dangerous part of eating out. Also, the food was mediocre, so didn't kill me to eat less that usual. I worked out and did yoga. Drank ridiculous amounts of water. I also took a look at my macro nutrient ratios in the app and adjusted them. Yesterday was my first day of being mindful of my ratios (especially eating enough complex carbs... I had to go searching for them)
01/07 = 155.4 The good: I worked out. I did yoga. I met my water goal. I logged my meals and was mindful of my macros. The not so good: I could have eaten more. I am suspicious of the exercise calorie counter and I didn't eat back most of my exercise calories. This was mistake in hindsight. Today will be the real test. Winter break is over. The kids go back to school and I have to find a new routine that works with real life.
01/08 156.1 I'm pretty sure yesterday's weight was a scale fluke and I probably should have stepped on more than once when I saw it drop so much. More than happy to still be on track. I under ate yesterday, which was what I was afraid of. Now that the kids are back in school, I'm out of the house until late, and it makes it hard to eat if eating out is off the table. I did well on water, and ate quality, though. I could have walked more. I need to meal prep today, and that is my major goal for the day. I have been off added sugar and alcohol since the start of the year. Both things that interfere with my sleep and my moods. Both things I love dearly. But, it's been okay so far. I haven't had a time where I've been fighting a craving.
01/09 = 155.6 My challenge goal weight is within reach for sure! Yesterday was a great day. I ate healthy and was very mindful of the food choices I made. I was active all day. More importantly, I felt great. Realizing I'm only six days in to food tracking and only 2 1/2 weeks of being back on the strength training bandwagon, I don't look different from when I began. My clothes fit the same. But I feel different. I feel stronger. I'm carrying myself more confidently. And just happier. All this to say that it isn't the goal weight I'm looking for. Or a size. It is this feeling. This feeling of not being tired from a diet too high in sugar and simple carbs and wine and not exercising. Of being happy with my body and myself as-is.
01/10 = 156 yesterday was rest day. I got in a very long walk while my son was at soccer practice and a short yoga practice in the evening. I think was hurt me was having pho for dinner. Low in calories but high in sodium. After considering it for a while this morning, I've decided it was worth it. It was also a planned lunch with friends. Two days left to make goal.

25th Round for me: Female 65, height 5’
This round is turning out to be a real struggle but feel like I’m doing some good work getting started on things I should have done a long time ago. That means working through things, which in the short term is stressful (more likely to overeat) but in the long term will be beneficial – therefore help my weight loss. So right now am “walking through the swamp.” Thanks to FarmerCarla for link: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/The_Movie_Chair/view/walk-through-the-swamp-959755Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, -.2Round 64 – 161.6

Round 61 – 160.8, -.6
Round 62 – 160.2, +.4
Round 63 - 160.6, +1.2
Goal this round: to at least see some 159s. I was down here in Oct. and having so much trouble getting back there. Right now even ½ lb. per round would seem great. My short term goal is to be down at least 6 lb. by the end of March. That is just .7/Round but for me would be great progress.
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 – 162.2 - Did not post as I had not got around to setting up this Round. I did weigh though.
01/04 – 163.6 – Yesterday started out great but ended in disaster with RJ’s chocolate licorice twists. Thurs. I have knitting group in the morning which is always fun but get groceries in the afternoon which I never feel like doing … and then I buy something for a treat “now & then” only it often ends up being now. The other part of the disaster was that I had determined to do some planning, but I don’t feel like doing it. Well, I’m going to start on it today anyhow, whether my childish self feels like it or not.
01/05 – 164.4 – Scale was determined to say this although it seems odd. Thursday I was probably 450 calories over but the rest of the week has been good. No gym yesterday but calories were good. Today I have no car but doing exercises at home and also have to clean house so a more active day.
01/06 – 164.4 – Not so great yesterday but did log all. Determined to log all for the next 3 months. I tend to get slack with the evening meal and just make a rough guess – usually too kind to myself but sometimes I think I’m way over and actually I’m not.
01/07 – 163.6 – Much better! This round has been a scary blip back to what life used to always be – emotional eating in the evening and feeling draggy and bloated in the morning. I don’t ever, ever want that life again. Was listening to something by Jordan Peterson (clinical psychologist) and he said that in tests they’ve found that fear is a greater motivator than reward. If you think about it, it’s true – how many of us are here because we got a “good scare”? Sometimes it’s good to take a hard look at where you are going if you don’t change.
01/08 – 162.4 – Good day at the gym yesterday and logged all. Ate back only 50 cals. of exercise. My daily limit is 1200 which is enough for me to feel satisfied IF I get enough protein and a reasonable amount of fat. Because I’m so short, fine boned and sedentary plus being older I just don’t burn very many cals. Working to up the exercise on non-gym days.
01/09 – 162.4 – Gym today, thought I had no car but hubby took the bus so now have no excuse! Also got up ½ hr earlier. Somehow that extra time in the morning is often what makes or breaks the day. Yesterday got up a bit later (8:00) and then got a loooong phone call from daughter that I hadn’t heard from since before Christmas … all great but with the late start, exercising went out the window.
01/10 – 163.4 – Good day at the gym yesterday, pushed harder and had a time limit so a little sore today. Also had a supper with a lot of soy sauce … so, water retention? just a random blip back up? Anyhow, motivation to get some exercise in on my day which will be mostly writing on the computer and weaving in ends on my knitting. Not fun projects but it will feel good to have them done. Have a great day 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.
Crept back to JGM10D quietly and somewhat inconsistently in Round 60 but now I am back (for reals!)
1/3 - 132.8 - 8000 steps yesterday and under my calorie goal, currently set to -.5/week
1/4 - 131.8 - 7K steps, 12 minute vigorous row, and under calorie goal yesterday. Also 12 hours of work... went back late evening to after midnight, life of a sysadmin, then keyed up and couldn't sleep much. Today is a day to beware and not blow it!
1/5 - 131.0 - 8K steps and just under calorie goal yesterday. Got a great night's sleep but still feeling a little transparent. Love a rainy day. Good for taking care of myself.
1/6 - 132.6 - expected bounce and no worries! 15K steps yesterday including a huge rainy walk run with my dog, under calorie goal.
1/7 - 132.4 - yesterday 11K steps, got a little bodyweight strength work done, still raining, under calorie goal.
1/8 - 133.4 - yesterday 28 minutes on the rower, but only 5K steps and wildly over on calories, honestly just gave up behind a scattered, churning day at work. At least I am getting more workouts.
1/9 - 133.4 - yesterday 25 minutes on the rower, 8500 steps, just under maintenance calories. It was a horrible day at work, but today has been much calmer thanks only to an attitude readjustment
1/10 - 132.6 - yesterday 6K steps and ate a bit over maintenance - I realized I got so busy at work and with an activity after work, that at 7:15 PM I had eaten only 500 calories. This was a recipe for disaster lol. All good, learn learn learn!

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.
1/2 131.5
:::::::::::::::::
1/3 131.0 I have been having some intestinal distress for several days which may finally be passing although it sounds as if a battle rages!
1/4 131.0 Today is the 48th birthday of our first born. I remember the icy roads and the 8 mile, 45 minute drive to the base at 2AM, and the poor fellow at the gate trying to chip the ice off the sticker which gave us access to the base, his panic when Carl said I was in labor. AT 5:08AM, a beautiful 8# 1 oz, healthy baby girl appeared. She has become a beautiful woman, a wonderful mom, and a caring nurse.
1/5 130.5 Our new mattress was delivered yesterday. I wish I could say I felt I slept great on it but I think there will be an adjustment period. I hope.
1/6 131.5 I’m so tired! Awake before 5AM again with the start of a headache which has now gone. Used sucralose sweetener yesterday and today in my coffee instead of stevia. I think that may be the cause of the gain as I only ate 1/2 of my Greek salad yesterday and one egg. Dozed off tubing and accidentally deleted my whole post. I need a nap!
1/7 132.0 Did not drink close to enough water yesterday. I was so sleepy all day that I fell asleep in my recliner at 7:30 last night. Carl woke me at 10:30 to go to bed. I showered and was in bed by 11 and slept until 4:38 this morning. Something wakes me every morning at that time! Since I didn’t drink water before bed, it wasn’t the call of nature. It’s irritating.
1/8 131.5
1/9 131.0 We meet our new doctor today. New insurance, same medical group, different location - about 5 miles closer to home. Hope this is as painless as it should be!
1/10 129.5 I think that was the first time EVER that I have enjoyed going to the doctor! What pleasant people! I praise God for our relative good health and for a doctor who actually listens! We had lunch at Sweet Tomatoes BEFORE going to the doctor.
To anyone who is doing or starting Keto, I urge you to look at videos by Dr Eric Westman. I watched 2 of them yesterday and think it caused me to reboot.
Here is a link to one of them -

Rather bizarre story but true - DH and I bought a new mattress on New Year’s Day and it was delivered last Friday. The company that delivered would not take the old mattress (Cal King) because it had stains so the two of us dragged it out to the garage until last night when we got it to the curb for “bulk pick up” not at all certain they would take it, already fearing that it would still be there and we would have to find a way to get it to the transfer station. I had heard the trash and recycling trucks this morning and then heard another truck, maybe the recycling truck coming back around for bulk, and went out to see these two wonderful men throwing that mattress into the compressor! I hollered thank you to them and they said Happy New Year! As I turned to go back in the house - this is the bizarre part - I burst into tears of joy that we don’t have to worry about transporting that thing on/in our small cars! Thank you, Jesus!7 -
HAPPY NEW YEAR!Hello everyone! I am excited to finally reach my goals in 2019 (claiming it!!) I’ve been at about a 6month plateau stuck in the 190s...a viscous cycle of lose gain lose gain. I am going to pay more attention to my nutrition, drink more water, and increase intensity of my workouts . Let’s do this!

Female, 5' 4 1/2 " age 53
This is my eleventh round. Just realized that despite a gain last round, I not only made my goal of being 155 by Christmas, but that I kept that til after Christmas too! We have one more party Jan 5, which we are hosting. The good news is I've already tried all the food! I have 10 more pounds to reach a healthy/normal BMI, and I think I may go down a little from there. I'm thinking that my UGW is 135. I'm posting mini goals below.

1/03 -- 154 -- There we go. Back again to pre-Christmas AND pre-New Year's weight. Did 45 minutes of zumba followed by a 35 minute jog on the treadmill (too rainy to go outside). Was super tired at the end of the day, so went to bed early and slept 9 hours. Of course it might have just been procrastination over cleaning and prepping for the party we are having Saturday!
1/04 154.5
1/05 156
1/06 157
1/07 157.5
1/08 158 -- Just caught up on everyone's posts. My week has beena mess. We had our party Saturday 1/5, so I wasn't surprised I was up a little on 1/5 and 1/6, but the continued climb is irritating me! I worked out a ton yesterday. 1 hour fast walk, 1 hour strength class, 1 hour zumba, 31,000 steps. Could be the extra exercise that made today's weight high. TOM also decided to pay a visit. Seriously? Thought I was over TOM! It could, however, be the cause of cravings/bloat/weight gain. Trying to hold on this round and get back into the swing of things. Treats lying around the house aren't helping either!
1/09 158 -- At least it levelled off. Definitely feel and look bloated today. Blaming TOM. Frustrated....but not losing it quite so much today!
1/10 156.5 -- Was so happy to see this number today! Mentally I know to stick to the plan, but the scale was really trying to get the best of me this week! Yesterday I missed my walk, but did strength training and zumba. Ate really well until a slight cookie fest before dinner. Still within calories. Hoping to be back to start weight by end of round.

Goal: Continue to work on elimination diet for my food allergies.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03--213.4 Went to the gym to lift weights this morning and while I know a lot more people go to the gym at the start of the year I was still surprised that at 5 am there were so many more people than usual. It's rainy and windy today, so I will probably just do some work around the house as I continue to wait for the shutdown to end.
01/04--215.3 Bump in weight due to extra water retention and extra sodium from going out to eat last night, it was a last minute decision. Definitely feeling heavy this morning. Today I have to run around and do some errands and do some cleaning to get ready for tomorrow when the in-laws come by to celebrate my husbands' and my brother-in-laws' birthdays. Plan today is to make sure I get my water in.
01/05--216.2 Normal for me to have a second day bump in weight after eating out. Feeling very heavy this morning, I'm sure I ate something that I was allergic to when I went out to eat 2 days ago. Going out for a birthday lunch today, so I have to be more conscious of what I am eating today. If weather holds up I will take dog for a walk after the birthday festivities today.
01/06--216.4
01/07--216.4 Wow, 3lb bump on the scale in 5 days. It's fascinating to see what happens when I eat foods that I am sensitive/allergic to. Yesterday my power went out all day, so I couldn't go to the gym because it was closed and I ended up going out for breakfast. So, in the last 4 days, I've gone out to eat 3 times and I'm sure I ate something I am sensitive to in every meal that I ate. Adding in the sodium, that definitely accounts for the 3lb increase. Today I got back on track, but I can definitely feel that my digestion is not happy with what I have been eating, it's funny but I used to feel this way all the time before I started the elimination diet and I thought it was normal. Tomorrow my husband wants to go out to his favorite restaurant for his birthday dinner and I have already planned what I am going to eat. I went out for a 1 hour walk with the dog today.
01/08--217.4
01/09--216.4 Husband and I went out for an amazing dinner for hubby's birthday. I ate as well as a could with my elimination diet parameters, but I definitely ate a few things that weren't, but the food was so good so I will live with the consequences. The last of my eating out is done for awhile, so got back on track as of this morning. Yoga tonight.
01/10--215.3 Missed the gym this morning, I had trouble sleeping and couldn't think to wake up at 4:45. My plan is go to the gym later this afternoon when I hope the gym is pretty quiet.

I am back! I have no idea how many rounds I have done, but I need to get back on track. The last couple of weeks have been a little weird for me and I have not been great. I was hitting low days of 150/151 and high days of 155/156. So I have been all over the place. I will hit 149 this round without fail!
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 156.3 uuuggghhh, almost just skipped today, but decided to log it, own it, accept it, and be accountable. I ate 2 pancakes yesterday and the carbs and sugar destroyed me. I am sure this is also the rest of my New Years day celebration repercussions to. 2 days ago (Tuesday) I was at 151. Carbs, sodium, and not enough water kill me for some reason. Oh well, back at work today for the first time in a week and going to get back on track. I am sure I will be back down tomorrow to something at least manageable. Weighing and logging daily has at least taught me not to freak out about these things. I know I could not have gained 5 pounds in 2 days, but it is still frustrating to see that number. Next week I will be back at work all week and can get back on schedule.
01/04 - 153.3 I was expecting a pretty good drop. Stayed on track calorie wise yesterday and drank a ton of water. I'm hoping to be back down to 151 tomorrow and be good through the weekend. If I can start Monday on a half way decent start I will be happy.
01/05 - 151.7 and I’m back down. I have grocery shopping and house cleaning to do today. I also need to get all my Christmas stuff put back into the shed. DH has to work today so it should be a pretty low calorie day. Yesterday was a good day. It’s so easy to stay on track when I work and have a routine. I’m trying hard to stay the course and shed these last 15 pounds this year. I’m hoping to get back to losing my 4 pounds a month like I was before all the holidays started.
01/06 - 151.7 same today. Did well yesterday. Didn’t make the best food choices, but stayed at calories. Got all my Christmas stuff finally put away and my house is back to normal. It’s such a nice feeling waking up and not having all the clutter. Lol. DH and all the kids will be home today, so that will be nice. Kids finally go back to school tomorrow, thank goodness! So relaxing and getting stuff ready for them tomorrow is what is on the agenda today. It will be nice to get back on routine again.
01/07 - 153.2 up a bit, but very expected. DH decided to order Italian take-out for lunch yesterday. I did eat a salad first, but still ended up having 2 pieces of garlic cheese bread (so amazing) and Alfredo. Then decided we were going to make cinnamon rolls. So of course I had one of those with a beer. Yeah, my DH and kids do not help me at all on the weekends, lol. Did get all the kids off to school today and I am back at work! I haven't worked 5 days in a row in what seems like forever, but it has actually only been a month. Looking forward to seeing what happens at the end of this round now that I am back on track.
01/08 - 152.4 good day food wise yesterday, not so much on my water though. After a day of not so great eating, it always takes me 2 days to get back down. So tomorrow I should hit 151.xxx and then I am planning on finishing this round at 150.xxx. I have been in the 150 decade for 11 weeks now. I'm ready to move on! 4 days left of this one and so far going strong. I have not had any LNS and only had 1 day that I had a couple of bad food choices, which is way better than the last couple of weeks.
01/09 - 150.9 super stoked to see this number. I am 1/2 a pound away from where I was at the end of round 61, lol. I ended that round at 150.4 and then went off the deep end with all my holiday activities. May go up just a bit tomorrow. I was really low on calories by the end of my eating time and didn't want to break my IF. I don't know if I will be able to continue doing IF after this week. It really just doesn't work with my life. I think you have to be more disciplined or maybe organized than I am. I am trying very hard to have dinner on the table by 6 and have everything put away and cleaned by 7-7:30 (which is my cutoff), but by the time I pick kids up and do homework and deal with what ever crisis of the night there is or decide what we are going to eat it's later than that. I didn't even have dinner cooked until almost 7 last night. So I ate a couple of bites while cooking and then really didn't eat dinner. I am going to continue the rest of this week and see if I can get it together.
01/10 - 150.9 stayed the same which I guess is good. If the scale moves up I'm irritated, if it stays the same I'm irritated. I only like it when it moves down, lol. Once again ate dinner around 7:30 last night, so I have adjusted when I eat my lunch to accommodate for that. I put a roast on this morning so maybe we can do dinner a little earlier tonight. 2 days left and I have met my original goal, so updated it to 149. Even if I finish this round at 150 something I will be happy. At least I am back on track and going strong.

Back again for another round! I gotta quit slacking though. I had a really great first round and a couple disappointing rounds since then. I'd LOVE to lose anything over 2lbs. Even 2.1 would be exciting.

01/08 145 Sorry everyone, I havent posted here since a little after Christmas I think. I was having a tough time getting myself motivated, and I gained 4 pounds over Christmas and New Years. Finally feeling better about things. Lost the 4 pounds I gained, thank goodness. Also decided to give intermittent fasting a try, today is day 2. I think it'll really help me because it'll cut out late night snacking. Going to try and catch up on everyone's progress today and tomorrow 😊.
01/09 145 Happy with myself for not giving in to LNS! It's tough. Coffee has really helped though. Fortunately coffee doesn't keep me up, so I can drink it any time of the day.
01/10 144 Met my goal for the round yay . This has been my first "real" loss in exactly 1 month from today.

GW 362 – Jan 31st
GW 299 – End of 2019 (6.2)
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 373.4 - on WW a healthy day is a blue dot day. So far I am having a blue dot day And it is looking like I will get to my 7000 step goal today also.
01/04 371 – yesterday was not a blue dot day but I made some good choices -- not a lot of processed foods, and I made my 7000 step goal. I was up yesterday because of salt eaten the previous day, so I attribute the 2 pound loss to water I drank to rid my body of the salt. Either way I will take it Since I always seeing the scale going in the right direction!
01/05 372.6 – yesterday not good. Got in a small 15 min walk but only 6000 steps and overate. Today is another day. Weekends not good for me. Today I have a funeral, eating out with a cousin from FL. But I have a plan. I weigh in at WW Monday so I need to lose at least a pound by Monday
01/06 no weigh in – 7000 steps & 20 min Leslie Sansone DVD
01/07 373.6
01/08 372.6
01/09 370.2 – finally got back on track. Got in my 7000 steps yesterday, no workout, and a blue dot day.
01/10 369.4 – In the next decade yay! Now the goal is to stick the new decade until the next round Got in my 7000 steps, no blue dot, but no fast foods and not too much over on points so still a good day!

Actually I didn't realize that we are in a fitbit-sync-drought along with other issues at this moment. Truthfully, I ate at under maintenance, a bit over my planned calories yesterday.2 -

Day/Weight/Commen
01/03 143.8 the woooosh train has arrived, mind you I had a ton of energy yesterday (which are the days I absolutley love😍😍) so ended up jogging over 3 miles, walking over 30,000 steps and pretty much worked out right up until bed. I drank 1.6 liters of water and was way under calories...but even if I had worked for this drop, I am still shocked it happened over night. Today although, has so far not been as good. Because of yestedays workout craze, I was sore as heck! My steps are over 10,000 but otherwise I haven't worked out..yet. Once I am finished posting, I am planning at least a 1.5 mile jog (indoor because of how cold and late it is) and hopefully another routine right after..maybe strength...maybe an additional cardio.. maybe both. I will see how I feel when I am done. 1 liter of water and hoping my little workout will bring me to a maintenance calories wise because so far, I am way over lol. We will see
01/04 144.8 a small bump but i deserved it. LNS got to me 😥 16,005 steps
01/05 143.6 and back down, 22, 748 steps and worked out like a mad women.
01/06 144.6 TOM arrived last night so I am hoping this is just a bump of bloat, which I am definitley feeling. I am back....again lol. I planned to post every night but I have recently joined a lot of MFP groups that require end of the day posting so I think I will just do what I always did to begin with, post in the morning about the previous day. So the scale is moving slowly and I expected this after the holidays, I am hoping for a mini whoosh once this bloat dies down though. Today I am planning on hopefully getting to the grocery store. For meals it's been pretty good, sticking to healthier options but snack wise has not. Still have a crazy amount of treats floating about and every time I think my family has made a dent, I find another box or tin of something and the worst part is I am running out of veggies and fruits to eat so I don't go running to the cookies. Exercise this past week has been great but my eating could be a lot better
01/07 145 TOM bloat still here
01/08 144.4 slightly dissapoined. I am still slightly bloated but I worked out like mad, walked a little over 31,000, drank 1.75 liters of water and ate under cals. I am hoping tomorrow will be better 😧😧 hoping for a nice whoosh to end the round strong. Right now my goal is to get back to pre-holiday weight of 142 but I am hoping I can push out a little more. I didn't think it would be this difficult to take it off, especially because I got right back on track. We will see what the next four days offer. Volleyball tonight but I messed up by doing upper body strength workouts yesterday and today my arms are hurting, so much...I really hope it doesn't effect my performance
01/09 143.8 that is fine!! Slow and steady eh? I'm just going to have to kick my own *kitten* .
Anyway yesterday was pretty good, food wise. My brother brought me a Cobb salad wrap, which sounds healthy but ended up being closer to 800 cal...yikes!! Thank gosh I exercised a lot yesterday or else I actually would have been in trouble. Had volleyball last night for the first time since before holidays started and we kicked butt. Two matches, six games and we won them all!! Kind of shocked because the first team we faced is the hardest one in the league and if they didnt keep defaulting (not showing up, not having enough players etc.etc and a total of 6 times!!) they would most definitley be in first. We have been standing strong in first place all season but they still managed to climb to second....which I am still trying to wrap my head around because that just seems ridiculious to me. Anyways 26,000+ steps, 1.5 liters of water and under cals.
1/10 142.4 YES!! BACK TO MY PRE HOLIDAY WEIGHT!! It only took me 9 days *note the sarcasm* but I am here before the round ends so I couldn't be happier. Hopefully I can push out a little more and my weight doesn't stop here! I can't wait to see those 30s and as much as I am working for it, i have to remind myself to be patient and take it one step at a time. Nothing happens over night. Yesterday I ate amazingly, work out was fantastic but only drank 1 liter of water..😧😧 24, 661 steps.15 -

Thank you for the thought. I agree, if I was home, I'd have things I want to buy or activities I'd plan, but at the moment that is not so relevant. But, I'm eating 3 home-made meals Mon-Thu and as many as possible over the weekend, so the bagel is not just a treat as a food thing. And it is the only place nearby with salmon and a decent latte4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 150 (-0.4 from yesterday, -0.4 from round start) Woot! I did great on water and though we got pressed for time and ended up eating out last night, we did Chipotle. And I saved half for leftover lunch for the next day (today). Allowing myself a total laze about day today. Tomorrow - elliptical, here I come. Hoping to keep the downward trend, though ToM is looming and so we'll see. (It usually means a short bump up, or at least harder fight for a loss, for a few days.)
01/04 - 150 (-0.0 from yesterday, -0.4 from round start) Did well on water and on food yesterday, and so far today too. Also got a 25 minute walk in this afternoon. Hopefully this will bode well for tomorrow's number.
01/05 - 149.6 (-0.4 from yesterday, -0.8 from round start) Woohoo! Although today is my youngest's birthday, so I'm sure it won't be as good food-wise. It's gorgeous outside though, so I'm sure we'll spend time outdoors & active.
01/06 - 150.0 (+0.4 from yesterday, -0.4 from round start) Did get to spend about an hour yesterday outside, chasing the kid around on the playground. So not dedicated exercise, but definitely activity. ToM did arrive though, so between that and a little splurge due to birthday celebration, I'm not surprised to see a hop up. Pretty encouraged that it's small.
01/07 - 149.6 (-0.4 from yesterday, -0.8 from round start) Ahh, right back down after birthday shenanigans are done.
01/08 - 149.2 (-0.4 from yesterday, -1.2 from round start) Did good food & water-wise yesterday, but it was a pretty lazy day so I'm still surprised to see it continue to go down.
01/09 - 148.6 (-0.6 from yesterday, -1.8 from round start) Um, what? I weighed myself twice, picked up the scale & resettled it in a different spot and tried again. Same weight. I mean, not complaining.. LOL.. just didn't expect it. Nabbing fast food tonight. I'll budget for it calorie-wise, but still expecting a bounce back tomorrow.
01/10 - 148.2 (-0.4 from yesterday, -2.2 from round start) What is this wizardry? *hehe* I'm going to be buying new batteries just to be sure the scale's not losing it because of low battery. Otherwise, I guess things are just kicking in after having several weeks of hovering at 150.X?

Rather bizarre story but true - DH and I bought a new mattress on New Year’s Day and it was delivered last Friday. The company that delivered would not take the old mattress (Cal King) because it had stains so the two of us dragged it out to the garage until last night when we got it to the curb for “bulk pick up” not at all certain they would take it, already fearing that it would still be there and we would have to find a way to get it to the transfer station. I had heard the trash and recycling trucks this morning and then heard another truck, maybe the recycling truck coming back around for bulk, and went out to see these two wonderful men throwing that mattress into the compressor! I hollered thank you to them and they said Happy New Year! As I turned to go back in the house - this is the bizarre part - I burst into tears of joy that we don’t have to worry about transporting that thing on/in our small cars! Thank you, Jesus!
That's wonderful! What a relief and lots of pressure off your shoulders (and cars!)

Round 64 - Round 1.5 for me
Round 63 - SW=209.5, EW =205.7
Diagnosed with Type II Diabetes - November 10, 2016 A1C = 8.5%, September 21, 2018 A1C = 6.1%
Current Weight - 205.7
First Challenge (Round 63) Weight - 209.5
Highest Weight - 227.8, May 2016
Goal Weight - 199
Ultimate Goal Weight - 194
Goals -
* Under 1900 cals each day
* No blood glucose tests above 180
* Run 5 days above 2.5 miles
1/3 - 205.7, Happy that I did not eat a lot, but did not track and overall choices not great. Need to get on the darn treadmill and make sure testing blood glucose consistently. Focusing on tomorrow's goals.
1/4 - 204.2, Fairly happy. Relatively good eating and a blood glucose of 96 right before bed which was fantastic. A key to success in managing my type II is staying off the carbs after 3PM. Still need to get on the treadmill and track food intake.
1/5 - 202.8, Pretty good day. Ate a light and healthy breakfast and lunch. Went out for dinner and ate so-so, but did not over eat. Big win was 2.7 miles on the treadmill in 30 minutes. Going to try to track food tomorrow. Want to start posting calories and steps for more accountability.
1/6 - 202.8 (1,095 calories in and 11,241 steps). Very good day. First time I ever tracked every single item I ate. Took my son to the newly opened Top Golf. I did not realize it was a bar food place. Only drank unsweetened iced tea. Did not do a lot of walking all day, but hit the treadmill at 8PM. Got in a great 2.7 miles/30 minute run. Interested to see what the scale says tomorrow morning.
1/7 - 200.8 (1,180 calories in and 12,381 steps). Relatively happy today. Second day in a row tracking everything I ate. One bad choice that shot blood glucose up to 239, but one bad choice is better than many. Ran on treadmill for 30 minutes for 2.8 miles. Hoping the scale goes under 200 tomorrow.
1/8 - 199.7 (2,175 calories in and 9,505 steps) - WOW!!! Have not seen this number in 20 years. Extremely happy. Need to make this sustainable and go for another 6.
An odd day. The high of a great weigh-in followed by shaky eating after lunch and binge eating at night. The low calories the prior two days did not help. Need to find a place in-between. Happy that I tracked every single item I ate which I would have quit doing in the past. Not a horrible binge, but still a binge. Will show on the scale tomorrow and just need to bounce back. Will do!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 182.0 Happy with this.
01/04 - 181.9 I weighed myself twice this morning and got two different numbers, so this is the average. Crossing my fingers!
01/05 - 183.2 Well that's not very nice! I was over my calories yesterday but I'm guessing this has more to do with water retention or something. Oh well, off to Pilates!
01/06 - 183.0
01/07 - 182.6
01/08 - 185.4 I didn't even want to post this, but I'm pretty sure it must just be water retention since I ate out last night. That's what I'm telling myself....
01/09 - 184.4 UGH......

01/03 286.4 and 8.0pounds down since I started. Hoping to find Fitbit charger so I can accurately check my calories burned daily.
01/04 285.2 I normally weigh in every morning after I get up and pee so this is a nice way to be able to log everything. *Update on my day although not weight related* Found out my father in law has cancer in the hips and lungs today, feeling so down and bad for my MIL. They are such good people and she lost her dad last January so this is really a blow to her.
01/05 284.9: 9.1 lbs down. Maybe tomorrow I’ll hit 10.
01/06 286.2: and frustrated. Didn’t lose but gained and was really hoping to hit my 10 lb loss today. I drank some wine last night but was still in my calorie allotment so I’m feeling like it was the pad thai and all those carbs. Anyhow, here’s to a new day. I got a new Fitbit yesterday as well so hoping that will help motivate me with steps and everything. I’ve also had a killer headache since last night and today will probably be a lazy day.
01/07 287.4 and really annoyed now. How the hell did I gain 3 pounds this weekend? I stayed below my calorie limit even though it was a little higher than the last few days. It has to be the carbs. I did read that a Norma daily fluctuation can be 3-5 pounds but it sucks to see any higher number when I’m working so hard to lose. Anyhow, today will be a good day. I have an interview for a healthcare job that I’ve wanted for a while. Luck and prayers are being accepted!
01/08 286.2 Going back down again, thank goodness! I should hear back about the job either today or tomorrow and my stomach is just in knots. I do have another interview today at 1030 but it’s for a job that I don’t really want. School starts again Monday and I’m so ready to get this semester on the road! Hoping to see the scale go down again tomorrow. Here’s to hoping!
01/09 284.6 I got the job! And I’m so close to hitting my 10 lb goal! My father in law had his biopsies done yesterday and we should hear back in a few weeks and find out a treatment plan for him. Binge watching my 600 pound life really motivates me to not want to be on that show. I can’t believe I was almost halfway there before I started to get my *kitten* together. I have really enjoyed this page and the accountability it’s held me to knowing that I will have to post my weight every day. 3 days left, let’s see where we’re at!

Day/Weight/Commen
01/03 143.8 the woooosh train has arrived, mind you I had a ton of energy yesterday (which are the days I absolutley love) so ended up jogging over 3 miles, walking over 30,000 steps and pretty much worked out right up until bed. I drank 1.6 liters of water and was way under calories...but even if I had worked for this drop, I am still shocked it happened over night. Today although, has so far not been as good. Because of yestedays workout craze, I was sore as heck! My steps are over 10,000 but otherwise I haven't worked out..yet. Once I am finished posting, I am planning at least a 1.5 mile jog (indoor because of how cold and late it is) and hopefully another routine right after..maybe strength...maybe an additional cardio.. maybe both. I will see how I feel when I am done. 1 liter of water and hoping my little workout will bring me to a maintenance calories wise because so far, I am way over lol. We will see
01/04 144.8 a small bump but i deserved it. LNS got to me 16,005 steps
01/05 143.6 and back down, 22, 748 steps and worked out like a mad women.
01/06 144.6 TOM arrived last night so I am hoping this is just a bump of bloat, which I am definitley feeling. I am back....again lol. I planned to post every night but I have recently joined a lot of MFP groups that require end of the day posting so I think I will just do what I always did to begin with, post in the morning about the previous day. So the scale is moving slowly and I expected this after the holidays, I am hoping for a mini whoosh once this bloat dies down though. Today I am planning on hopefully getting to the grocery store. For meals it's been pretty good, sticking to healthier options but snack wise has not. Still have a crazy amount of treats floating about and every time I think my family has made a dent, I find another box or tin of something and the worst part is I am running out of veggies and fruits to eat so I don't go running to the cookies. Exercise this past week has been great but my eating could be a lot better
01/07 145 TOM bloat still here
01/08 144.4 slightly dissapoined. I am still slightly bloated but I worked out like mad, walked a little over 31,000, drank 1.75 liters of water and ate under cals. I am hoping tomorrow will be better hoping for a nice whoosh to end the round strong. Right now my goal is to get back to pre-holiday weight of 142 but I am hoping I can push out a little more. I didn't think it would be this difficult to take it off, especially because I got right back on track. We will see what the next four days offer. Volleyball tonight but I messed up by doing upper body strength workouts yesterday and today my arms are hurting, so much...I really hope it doesn't effect my performance
01/09 143.8 that is fine!! Slow and steady eh? I'm just going to have to kick my own *kitten* .
Anyway yesterday was pretty good, food wise. My brother brought me a Cobb salad wrap, which sounds healthy but ended up being closer to 800 cal...yikes!! Thank gosh I exercised a lot yesterday or else I actually would have been in trouble. Had volleyball last night for the first time since before holidays started and we kicked butt. Two matches, six games and we won them all!! Kind of shocked because the first team we faced is the hardest one in the league and if they didnt keep defaulting (not showing up, not having enough players etc.etc and a total of 6 times!!) they would most definitley be in first. We have been standing strong in first place all season but they still managed to climb to second....which I am still trying to wrap my head around because that just seems ridiculious to me. Anyways 26,000+ steps, 1.5 liters of water and under cals.

In late!

OSW: 252
Round 64 SW: 217.2
1/7—217.2—Hello friends and friends-I-haven't-met-yet! I hope everyone had some break time. I had some vacation days, some lounging about days, and some recharging my batteries for 2019 days. I'm starting this round at almost the same as my start weight for round 62, which pleases me.
1/8—219—Digestive whammy. I forgot to mention yesterday that I'm continuing on my quest to be able to do 100 pushups by the end of 2019. When I started, I could do 4. Now I can do 20! The program I'm using requires me to hit certain goals before I can move on to the next level, and I need to get to 31 before I can move on. In the meantime, I'm repeating week 4 a few million times.
1/9—221—Yikes! Okay, I know I ate some gluten free puff pastry treats last night, but this amount of water retention is insane. There is obviously pufferfish in my family tree.

Goal this round - 181
01/03: 184.6 - down .2 - I’ll take it!
01/04: 184.0 - took my 13 y/o downtown and went out to lunch. I was worried because I had some French fries but we walked about 4-5 miles downtown and enjoyed the day. Happy for the loss!
01/05: DNW - totally forgot until after lunch!
01/06: 185.4 - UGH - so frustrated with myself! Too much wine and not enough movement. I go back to work tomorrow so that structure will definitely help!
01/07: 184.6 - ok - trending down and back to work!
01/08: 184.8 - not sure what happened. Under calories and no wine last night but we didn't eat dinner until almost 9 and weighed at 5:30 a.m. - maybe that's it.
01/09: 183.4 - closer closer!

Day/Weight/Comment
1/03 - 175.8 - Still a bit of fluid weight. 174.4 my R62 start weight flashed briefly before settling on this. I can wait.?
1/04 -177.6 - Felt miserable all day yesterday. This weird cold/allergy like illness again. Exercised, ate dinner and went to bed later than usual.
1/05 - 177.2 - Started the day feeling lousy and not hungry and on the right side of carbs and calories. Took some cold medicine and ended the day +400 on the wrong side of carbs and calories.
1/06 - 178.2 - My goodness, no surprise though. I opened one of the last bags of those delicious porcini rosemary kettle chips. Ate the heck out of them just before going to bed. I'm feeling much better this morning, so the comfort eating should cease. Although, it's a potentially high carb day, since I'm going to visit my littles.
1/07 - 177.2 - Under 50g net carbs, so very much better than Friday and Saturday. Reigning it in today.
1/08 - 174.4 - 24g carbs, 19g net carbs. Carbs were: zucchini, salad, 1/4 grapefruit, 3/4 ounce of cashews after dinner drove up the carb count by 6g
1/09 - 174.8 - Fluid retention, not enough sleep. Late exercise, then watched a movie while coloring. Went to bed at 2:30am. 19g carbs, 12g net carbs. Spinach, salad, cauliflower. Shooting for 14g net carbs today.

01/03 - 182.9 Whoosh! I am going to pretend that ugly 185 number didn't happen yesterday because this is where I expected to be - just took another day. The holidays are over and I am down - only .03 pounds but it's down. As long as the weather holds out I'll go for a walk this afternoon. I should be able to get in 3 miles before it's too dark. If I didn't have this stinky job I could really do more trail walking. Go home, get my dog and head to Kill Creek Trail for a day of romping in the chilly sunshine. Instead I'll stay here in my office and work
01/04 - 183.2 And back up we go. This roller coaster ride is making me queasy! I got in 5 miles yesterday - the fastest I have ever walked that far. I don't care if I'm up a little bit, I'm healthier than I was 24 hours ago. I'm going to go at least 3 tonight maybe 4 who knows.
01/05 - 183.0 The roller coaster goes down. I did eat back all of my calories yesterday, which I never do so I'm glad to see a small reduction today. I got to leave work a little early and talk a nice sunny winter 3 mile walk. Finally taking Christmas down today - that will burn some calories Then a walk this afternoon and then WHO KNOWS!
01/06 - 182.7 I did get in 3 miles yesterday. Took down the tree and spent quality time with family. That's as good as a Saturday gets. Today taking the Christmas stuff I went thru to goodwill and another walk I think. I'm traveling for work this week and need to exercise while I can. I won't be able to on Tuesday or Wednesday so walk today, gym tomorrow, two days off then back on the trail on Thursday.
01/07 - 183.0 After a one day dip the roller coaster goes up a bit. Probably the sodium from yesterday's lunch. I was under on calories and walked 4 miles. I'm not sure what else I can do but stick to the plan and know it works. I have five days left and I'm afraid I'll be right where I started. I have a four hour drive this afternoon then I'll stop at a gym close to my hotel for weights. Of course my food will be difficult this trip because I will have limited options for food tomorrow and Wednesday. I'm going for training where they bring in sandwiches, then a company dinner, then more sandwiches the next day. I hate these trainings where we don't get to go to lunch but have to eat whatever is brought in. I'm picky and do not like cold sandwiches. First world problems I know but when you're watching what you eat it's impossible to avoid sodium - it will be sliced turkey, beef, chicken, or ham. ALL salt bombs. Overly mayonnaise potato salad and cookies for dessert. The only thing I like is the cookie. They feel they're being healthy by offering turkey on wheat, and oatmeal raisin cookies. Maybe this time will be different. Maybe...
01/08 - no scale I was good calorie wise yesterday, walked 3 miles then a short weight work out. Today’s lunch was exactly what I expected but with a salad. I ended up ok but dinner is at th Budweiser Brewhouse. Chances of a nutritious meal less than 50%
01/09 - no scale Didn’t technically exercise yesterday but still got in 10k steps. Dinner was terrible. I had a few raw veggies and 1 chicken wing. Came back to the hotel for a salad. Oh well. Driving home today.

01/04 - 146.4 lbs. walked a little under 4 miles yesterday, I somehow managed to stay within my calories, although I ate much heavier foods and indulge a little too much!
01/05 - 146.7 raining lazy day. Didn't do much of anything but stayed with my calories so that's a positive.
01/06 -145.0 ran a little bit and then did 1/2 hour Zumba stayed within my calories finding foods I like to eat that are actually healthy so that's another positive this week.
01/07 - 144.8 Walked and did Zumba and stayed within my calories although it definitely wasn't healthy meal.

01/09 - 144.6 walked more thank 10,000 steps whoo hoo... even did zumba and stayed within my calories.

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 have been participating in this challenge since Round 40, thanks @GrandmaJackie. My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!
Good job on not letting the ups and downs get you frustrated enough to stop weighing in. The whole point of weighing in daily is to educate oneself about their bodies since all of us are different. What makes one person gain or lose is different for everyone -- so daily weigh ins help us to learn our bodies.
After years of weighing daily, I know what makes me gain and lose. I know how many calories or points make me lose. I know what kind of foods make me gain or lose etc. I always say no matter what kind of scale you use, the scale does not lie. It is a true friend. There is research out that says those who waeigh in daily keep their lost weight off. Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I’m a bit late but I’m in. I start Keto tomorrow. Promised myself I’d give that plan a month and reassess then.
CSW -191.8
CGW -188.8. (Looking for a 3 pound loss)
1/5 - 191.8
1/6 - 191.2 (-.6 total so far) Keto starts today.
1/7 - 190.6 (-1.2 total)
1/8 - 189.4 (-2.4 total) Keto seems to be working so far. Very structured which is good for me and I’m pushing the water too.
1/9 - 187.0 (-4.8 total) WOW WOW WOW!!! Pretty dang excited about this! I know a lot of this was water weight as that toilet was getting a work out yesterday! Keto is my friend right now and of course the hard work I’m putting into it to stay strict and focused. Knocked this rounds goal out of the park! Keep moving down and forward.
1/10 - 186.6 (-5.2 total) still working it!
