01/13 ~ 223.0 @ 8:00am - Off to a good start!
01/14 ~ 222.2 @ 6:00am – yayyy, but also kinda skeptical ~ I keep looking over my shoulder for all the chips this weekend, lol ~ I did however, SLEEEEP for a solid 10 hours which I haven't done in months. Have a great week Fit Fam!!
01/15 ~ 223.8 @ 6:45am - been eating pretty lightly past few days so hoping it's just remnants from a heavy meat dinner last night. Ate and went to bed late, so thinking my body didn't have enough time to "clean sweep" so to speak. If I'm right should see a drop tomorrow. 🤞
01/16 ~ 223.0 @ 6:45am - 🙏 ~ back on track, but uuggghhh can still feel and see it in my belly. And even though was well within calories, all those Terra Blues Chips and red meat the past few days have turned into a 2-day set back and another lesson learned. Will definitely think twice next time!

My 26th round!
OSW: 186 (March 2018)
UGW: 144-146
Pre challenge weight loss: -12 lbs.
Challenge weight loss R40 – R64: -29 lbs
My tax season starts this round which means I'll be working weekends and roughly 12 hours a day. Clients bring us goodies and the owner of the CPA firm often buys us lunch and dinner. I'm going to use this round to figure out exactly how to maintain my weight while being tempted by donuts, cookies, pizza, etc. It's almost as bad as the holidays!
R65 SW: 145
Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 - 144 - I'm very surprised! Due to my sodium yesterday and today, I'll bet it goes up tomorrow, but I'm very happy today. I've also got my lunch and healthy snacks packed for tomorrow.
01/14 - 146 - Here's the sodium! I'll be drinking plenty of water today.
01/15 - 147 - Wow, I did not want to post this, but facing this is what has kept me on track the last 8 months. My daughter stopped by last night so I had an extra glass of wine with her and I ate leftovers from Sunday for dinner, which did not help with my water weight. I have supper plans with my my golf league tonight at an Italian restaurant, so tomorrow is probably not going to be any better. But, it is my last night out with the ladies until tax season is over in April, so I'm going to go and enjoy myself. I'll just have to work really hard this next week to get my weight back down.
01/16 - 146.5 - I had a great time last night and managed to stay just under maintenance calories for the day.

@deepwoodslady - That is a crazy story! I'm so glad no one was injured. Sending all the hugs your way.10 -
I’m 42 and have been on a diet since I was 20. I was fit and lean most of my 20’s and the weight crept up after having kids. Then I didn’t feel I had time to take care of me. I’ve decided it benefits my whole family for me to take care of me so here I am, more determined than ever!
Challenge History:
Round 64 SW: 223.4 EW: 221.6
Round 65 goals:
1. Continue habits built during Round 64
2. Drink at least 8 cups of water per day.

1/14- 222- 🤷🏼♀️
1/15- 224.4-went over calories. Have a UTI and am now on antibiotic. Blah. Who knows if this is why I gained or if it’s the dinner I ate (lots of sodium). I seriously doubt I suddenly gained 2lbs.

1/13 168.6 (hope this new back injury from work --I think flare up from the old work back injuries-- I don't know-- doesn't cause fluid weight AND slow me down!!! No stress eating allowed..I DO have a positive, hopeful attitude to get this weight loss done!!
1/14 167.8 doing tumeric, lemon, a/b 800 mg sodium for my back--happy weight still decreased in spite of injury-stuck to calories yesterday--getting back to where I ended last round. One meal at end of round #64 and was outside calories and sodium. I knew it would take a few days to come back down. I wish you could pay ahead-then have the meal, ha ha. I may not do that after this round or be within calories at least. Depends if I meet my goal at the end I think.
1/15 167.8 back improving, but I can see that I am retaining water. Will be patient and keep doing the right things. You all inspire me!
1/16 167.6 had to eat majority of calories late in day. ate some junk. Still in range! water 11 out of 16 cups.

01/13- 220.6- Been doing well with moderating my alcohol intake for the last week and monitoring food. Also I have been making an effort to stay fairly active. Today I am aiming to not snack and to get a long walk in later with the dog. Good luck everybody X
01/14- 220.0- A good day yesterday, been out walking for 2 hours this morning though because I was pushing a buggy the Fitbit didn't log all the steps. It's a low calorie day today, feeling very in control at the moment X
01/15- 221.0- yesterday was very successful, 15,000steps and stuck to my calorie goals, hopefully the scales will show the drop tomorrow. Today I am aiming to stay under 1500cals, not many steps but il make up for it tomorrow x
01/16- 219.4- Yesterday I ended on about 1900cals which is 400cal more than what I was aiming for, I stayed up too late and then snacked when I really should have gone to bed. Today is a low calorie day, plenty of walking, just done a food shop so I'm set up for success for the next week X

14/01 Very active weekend, 30000 steps, 2 hours of Rowing, Strength Training and some Yoga. Ate reasonably well. Not aching quite as much this week so hopefully start to see some of my calorie deficit reflected on the scale at some point.
15/01 Up early to go to the work gym this morning before rowing around 6.5km on the nice calm waters of the River Lee. Goals for today are to get some yoga done before bed and to make sure I go buy lunch for the rest of the week from the supermarket, not the deli next door that I have to call in to, to talk about a raffle prize - wish me luck with my willpower!
16/01 Over my calories again yesterday (but in a deficit still) as I was ravenous from rowing/weight training. I have Pole Class tonight and will be walking in/out of walk, which is about 7km altogether, so a reasonably active day ahead. Dinner is in the fridge ready to be re-heated.8 -

01/14 - 248.8 - Whoomp! There it is! This was the lowest weight I got down to last year in May before I quit trying because "I wasn't losing weight fast enough". So I gained almost all of it back. Doesn't make any sense, does it? lol
01/15 - 249.8 - I'm happy with this. Still technically in the 240s!
I'm puffy this morning so this is probably water retention. Stuck to calorie limit yesterday but had a later dinner. No LNS. Also, I had red meat the night before for dinner and that seems to stay in my system longer. 
01/16 - 251.8 - I did really well yesterday - would've been slightly under my 1650 goal but I lost the plot after dinner while making John's lunch for work today. (3120 total for the day) It's just food weight and will be gone again soon. IF I behave myself!

Good Morning!
54 yr old Female 5’8” (probably more 5’7” now)
Keto
Alberta, Canada
Im late to this but love the format and would love to join you. I was keto for a year and a bit which was really good for me and lost 40 pounds! -YEAH-
I was very unexpectedly diagnosed with colon cancer one year ago (not sure if anyone expects it but I was really healthy otherwise) During the course of a year I underwent colectomy and 8 months of chemo, finishing at the end of 2018 -YEAH AGAIN!!!...except that I put on 25 pounds ☹ So back on keto I go.
GOAL - Im very weak and have nerve damage in my hands and feet so my initial goal is to build my strength and get back pre-chemo weight then build my body from there.
I started dec 28 at 188 lbs
Currently 183.2

01/15 153lb..No Idea last night had lost half a pound and I always lose 2lb overnight always..just not this time
Changes today trying a 15/9 intermittent fast Hope to squeeze in some 16/8's Using up last of my slimfast as I know now that's not the answer but I hate wasting "food". Swapped to Green tea for this week also.
01/16 153.2 urgh! But went to bed feeling sick and full realised haven't been to the bathroom in days (Ibs) so hope that is the cause, as I have been very good with diet. Keeping with yesterdays plan for the week. My tummy is massive today and I felt full despite not eating for 16 hours?

01/13 190 - I’m getting back into the swings of things again by cutting out sugar & processed junk.
01/14 188 - I’m starting the day out right with some black coffee & I'm looking forward to the gym this afternoon.
01/15 185 - This week & this challenge are starting out well. I’m very pleased! No gym yesterday as I feel run down, like I’m fighting a cold. I’ve decided to pay close attention to my eating & listen to my body.
01/16 185 - No change today but I am at least feeling a little better. I think the Zicam & rest are helping. I need to drink more water as I am relying on coffee & tea a bit too much during these last few cold days.

I don’t. Guess maybe I should. I truly don’t use it often but I have gotten such bad dandruff because it’s so damn dry here! I had it full blast which I normally don’t so maybe that stirred up some spores. When you clean it with bleach do you just rinse it out with it or do you let some bleach water run through it?

Sweet! Looks like the work is starting to show on the scale. Yesterday’s steps goal was another struggle and I ended up doing quite a bit of marching in place while watching TV to hit the final goal. But hey I was moving. As the temps drop in the next few days it might be a bit of a challenge to get those steps in, but we shall see how it goes.9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 - 138.8
I've decided to stop obsessing about calories, at least for this round, and to focus on macros (approx. 20% P, 30% F, 50% carbs, mostly veggies, fruit, and whole grains) plus exercise, meditation, fun, community, and sleep. Although I'd like to weigh about 10-12 pounds less, I'm at a healthy weight and feel good, so as maintenance or slow loss, I'm happy either way.
01/14 - 140
Sodium yesterday, and not enough water. Back on track today.
01/15 - 139.2
Yesterday was a good day. I was on track with food, although my macros were off (too much fat, not enough veggie carbs), and I had a great 90 minute workout at the Y - walking, weights, bike. I love the Precor video bikes - I rode up a mountain in the Italian Alps! I'm making gluten free crab cakes for lunch -- mmmmmm!
01/16 - 138.2
That's better. I ate responsibly yesterday and did an hour+ on the bike.

This is round 2 for me! I love doing this.
SW: 294
CW: 282.6
GW: 150ish I think I felt best at this weight.
01/13 282.6 and down a total of 11.4 pounds since Jan 1, have only eaten bad once in that time and I’m finding it easier everyday to follow my lifestyle plan. I’ve started to incorporate exercise as well so I’m hoping to really see some pounds fall off this week.
01/14 282.2 was so sick today. Ugh. I will swear to it that my humidifier made me ill but who knows. So, no exercise today and TONS of schoolwork. This semester is going to be hard especially since I’m going back to working full time. I just have to stay focused on that and losing weight. I know I can do this.
01/15 282.0 What a slow week. Still feeling pretty grungey but so much better than I did yesterday. Going to attempt a workout today. My husband got those Bluetooth boflex weights and they have a ton of exercises to do on their app. Been a long time since I’ve lifted so I certainly want to take it slow. Hope everyone else has a good day, I’ve noticed the thread has really quieted since the last one.
01/16 281.0 Feeling even better today. Did an arm workout yesterday called “Armageddon” and boy am I feeling it today. My arms are jello! Luckily all I have to do is some school work. Feeling really good about myself right now. Just, good. You know? Like I’ve finally got ahold of my life again and I know I can do this. I’m so disappointed I let myself get so out of control again but I got this.

Up/down/up/down - and the roller coaster continues.......
Even though I keep doing this, I am feeling so much better with the changes I have been making. YAY!
1/13 - 162.7 - today is a homework day and I am notorious with snacking when I do this. So, I plan to find ways to NOT snack on crap throughout the day. If I am up by tomorrow, I hope by only 0.3lbs.
1/14 - 163.9 - and the scale shows the snacking I did yesterday.
1/15 - 163.1 - slowly making a come back from the excessive snacking on Sunday.
1/16 - 162.3 - Feeling good and making small changes. I really wanted more than one snack last night and made tea instead. I had a very large mental argument with my brain, and I actually won this one.

Nice job on choosing tea instead of night snacking! It’s the little changes that add to big ones!9 -

Goals for Round 65 -
* Under 1900 calories each day
* Track all food and steps
* Run 7 days above 2.5 miles
* Add 5 days of weight workouts
* Get to and stay under 200!!!
1/13 - 203.1 (1,387 calories, 10,692 steps): Solid day. Tracked all food. Stayed away from the dinner/night binge. A little too high on the carbs which showed blood glucose in the 140-150 range for long periods of the day. Did not workout so I need to improve there. Better things for today!
1/14 - 204.3 (way too high on the calories, and way too low on the steps): The dinner/night binge got me. I'll get it today. Going for a perfect day today! Good luck to everyone.
1/15 - 202.8 (~1,900 calories, 8,647 steps): Back in the right direction. Decent day. Need to get my treadmill game back on. Will try to get on it tonight or get a long walk in while waiting for kid's activities. Keep the momentum going.
1/16 - 200.7 (~1,600 calories, 17,564 steps): A good day. Got in a 30 minute and 50 minute brisk walk. Need to get back on the treadmill and hit the weights again. Received my A1C results which were 6.2%. My doctor will be happy, but I want to get it under 6. A new 3 month goal for A1C. Glad to see the scale go in the down direction. Good luck to everyone as we hit the hump of the 10 day challenge!!!16 -
ROUND 64 (Round 11 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. I don’t use my KetoMojo meter every day, but I’ve only been out of ketosis for a couple of days since the second week when the meter arrived. Some of my NSVs: feeling less self-conscious, wedding band fits, smaller clothing, and my happy husband, whether he’s inspired to quit his cigarette habit or not.
Rounds 54 – 64 resulted in a cumulative loss of 33.6 lb. The closer I get to my goal, the more excited and motivated I become! When I reach maintenance, my plan it to continue checking in on these rounds. I really do appreciate and enjoy your company!
Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 144.8 Hello again! Let’s make this a great round! My scale is up a little this morning. I was up early to cook for lunch at church. My poor husband wass sick most of the night. It may be the fried fish he ate last night that I brought home for him on Thursday. It was a lunch special, but had three large filets of catfish. I meant to throw the last one away yesterday—wish I had. I guess something else could be going on with him. Thor and I had a good walk yesterday, but cut it a little short, 4.8 mi. We met the owners of a dog that’s been harassing and following us. I don’t want to see him run over.
01/14 143.8 I’m about to go to work, so I’ll have to catch up on posts this evening. Monday is my MFP check-in day, so I wanted to enter that before I forget.
01/15 143.4 I could have walked yesterday afternoon, but it was cold and windy, and I try to avoid cold and windy. The high today should be 50F and cloudy, still too cold, but I’ll probably take Thor and walk this afternoon after the Women’s Club luncheon and meeting. My grandmother and great grandmother and two great aunts were charter members of the club, long ago, and I like spending time and having fun with my neighbors. My favorite meetings last year were hula dancing, clogging, and learning to milk a goat!
01/16 143.6 Thor and I increased our walk yesterday—6.4 miles. We returned home tired, and my hip/back was a bit sore. It’s still a little sore this morning, which may account for the small gain on the scale this morning. I enjoyed the Women’s Club meeting, except for the lunch—they went with sandwiches, chips, boiled quail eggs, and cake. Three of us at my table ate a quail egg (they’re tiny 😊), the chicken salad and pimento cheese out of quarter sandwiches (tossed the bread), and no cake. It’s good to have like-minded friends. Time to go to work, so I'll have to catch up on reading your posts this evening. Have a blessed and healthy day!

Round #65 My Round #11
Female/49 years/Missouri
Round 55 thru Round 64 *-12.53
Round 65 * TBD
OSW - 213
CW - 178.6
RGW - 177.6
UGW – 135
1/13 178.6 I’ll take it. I’ve had no power since yesterday around 1 pm. Missed the Chiefs beating the Colts! Go Chiefs!!!! Instead got a 2 mile walk in just around the neighborhood. It was beautiful. A lady stopped me to ask if I needed a ride. I thanked her for the offer, explained that I was just walking for the pleasure of it. She just nodded her head and drove off. This morning I’m going to shovel the driveway and consider that my exercising for the day. Must conserve phone power 😜😜😜
1/14 No Scale Still now power. Used some points from all my work travel to stay at a hotel. I really needed a hot shower so I could come to work clean today! Fingers crossed the power comes back on while I'm here. There are still over 40,000 people in the greater Kansas City area without power. I know they're working on it. I did stay within calories yesterday. My only exercise was shoveling my driveway but depending on what app you believe it burned either 380 or 650. I assumed the lower number but still a good workout. My legs are sore today. I forgot to celebrate that I'm in the 170's. It's been at least 10 years since I was in the 170s. NSV due to the weather I needed to wear warm slacks and packed accordingly. When I got dressed this morning I didn't realize how long it had worn them. They're too big!!! Of course I'm stuck in them all day but it's the price of of all this and I'm happy to pull them up every time I stand up!
1/15 180.2 Up over a pound but I suspect it's that old demon sodium. I had to attend a work lunch yesterday at a Chinese restaurant. Impossible to avoid it. Good news the power is back on!!! I did not get to work out yesterday as I has planned. Dealing with house stuff and work stuff made it impossible. I'm going tonight. I have a hair appt at 5:00 so I won't be able to go until after but my body needs the workout. I've not been going over calories, but haven't been eating super healthy either. A work out and a salad will do me a world of good. I think I'll be back down to at least 179.X tomorrow. It's a roller coaster baby try to enjoy the ride.
1/16 180.2 Again but I’m pretty sure it’s still retained water. Ate within calories and got a little over an hour at the gym doing weights. Should be back on the trail today as long as it doesn’t rain.10 -
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!

01/13- 207.8. I was surprised with a gain. Last round and the start of this one really is a surprise. But I’ve been working out more than in theist few months so I’m wondering if this is muscle gain and just my body shifting. My clothes still feel fine so I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing.
01/14 - 207.4
01/15- 207.0. I am feeling way more in control this month. I’m home with a. Sick kid today so need to try hard to stick to my plan - food, water. It might be hard to get some steps in.
01/16 - 204.8. I stepped on the scale a few times making sure this number was accurate. Hopefully I don’t screw it up today! Lol! Have my meals planned and will stick to them and my water intake.

Round 65 (my 25th round!)
RSW 179.8 I worked too hard to get out of the 180"s to let this go on any longer.
1/13 178.2 partly water woosh, partly late weigh in - still a long way to go to get get back to my recent low.
1/14 177.6 more woosh! So many posts! It is great to have so many companions on the journey. Its a bit like a pilgrimage, except that when we get where we're going (Santiago maybe?) we will want to stay.
1/15 176.8 more woosh! lots of walking yesterday and lots of water.
1/16 176.6 So the woosh is done. Now it is time for the slow and steady. I will be attending Mass this afternoon and will remember this group in my prayers.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 - 240.4...better but still not where it should be. Went to the gym again last night and did 30mins on the treadmill and 20mins on the elliptical..had 130oz of water, which is 30oz over what I normally aim for and I was at about a 1000 calorie deficit.
01/14 - 240.0...I really don't get why I'm fighting my way back into the 230's..I didn't do anything to push myself out 😡 Did 30mins of walking yesterday, had 100oz of water and was at about a 1200 calorie deficit.
01/15 - 240.0...no exercise or water yesterday and I ate horribly.
01/16 - 241.0...another horrible eating day, very little water and 30 mins of shoveling heavy water soaked snow.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/12 - 173.2 - 29g carbs, 23g net carbs. 19g carbs, 14g net carbs. Forgot to update carbs yesterday before posting.
1/13 - 175.2 - 21g carbs 17g net carbs.
Two higher carb days in a row. I don't fast on Sabbath. Sometimes I eat more food, sometimes I eat later in the day.
1/14 - 176.2 - Really holding the fluid today. Late dinner, late exercise, unplanned snacking. 63g carbs, 57g net carbs. Carbs were: black truffle & olive oil kettle chips, ( They were calling me and I answered. Lol. I ate them instead of going to bed, but they satisfied my need for crunch and high flavor! So, well worth the carbs and fluid retention), peanut butter, spinach, salad, turkey kielbasa. On track today.
1/15 - 173.2 - 18g carbs, 15g net carbs. Carbs were: spaghetti squash, spinach, turkey kielbasa.
1/16 - 173.8 - 41g carbs, 17g net carbs. Carbs were: black walnuts, cauliflower, green beans, radishes, keto seed porridge. No junk carbs, weight is up slightly because I changed my IF hours to fit the time my hunger kicks in, which is now much later in the day. So, this is my low weight after 12 hrs of fasting. My eating window starts at 4:30pm.
