01/13 153lb
01/14 153lb Happy to maintain as had roast dinner yesterday.
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?
01/17 153.2 again! However I noticed I felt thinner..and my underwear wasn't leaving marks on me, so I dug out a pair of jeans that I tried on at the beginning of the year when I couldn't get them past my hips..Despite only losing 2lbs I can now get them on comfortably and do up the button (not the zip yet) I have lost 3 inches on my stomach alone. I'm thrilled.
Keep up with above plan.
01/18 153.8 ...Boo! Woke up feeling awful like I have a heavy cold coming, I did an hours yoga last night, stick to diet as above, going to try another yoga session maybe a quick HITT session. Have a good day all

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.
1/17 177 bounce! my kitchen is still in mid-reno, so it was pizza for dinner last night. I haven't been able to do detailed tracking but it has been kind of a nice break from that. I am ready to get back to it when I get my kitchen back.
1/18 176.2 This is especially nice as I was expecting a gain due to too many salted almonds. I have an event tonight - I will try not to get carried away.

Relatively consistent so I’m ok with that. I gave up on my steps yesterday as it was just too darn cold. But I don’t feel too bad since I did make it to the gym and my group circuit class at lunch so still moving but more strength than steps.

Day/Weight/Comment
‪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.
01/17 187 - Not sure what I did “wrong” other than more water yesterday but maybe a bit too much sodium .. time to tighten up a bit more & trust the process.
01/18 188 - Things are going the wrong direction because of some water retention this week but it’s not too late to turn them around!! Slow & Steady!

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.
1/17 180.0 At this point I'll be happy if I get back to where I started at this round. I guess it could be lingering sodium. I don't know. As I say every round: trust the process. I just need constant reminders. I stayed within goals and walked three miles in the freezing mist. Actually wasn't that bad. Going again tonight, I found a trail that has been cleared of snow!!! I don't have good shoes for walking in snow. Ten feet from my car my foot "broke" thru the snow. I went home with one wet cold foot HAHAHA.
1/18 180.4 And the hits just keep coming. Up today despite staying within calories and exercising yesterday. On my way to work there was an accident that forced me on a different route. Which prompted my desire to get something not so healthy for breakfast instead of the oatmeal that was waiting for me at the office. I was feeling sorry for myself at 180.4 and thought a McDonald's sausage biscuit would taste pretty good right about now. As I got closer I started to think of how good it would taste, then I remembered how my stomach would feel about an hour later. How three days ago I felt like junk because of bad food choices. So my positive thought for the day is I drove away from McD's without that crappy breakfast and instead enjoyed my healthier choice. I gotta take that as a win.

Heaviest Weight: 235 lbs/106.6kg (February 7th 2018)
Smallest Weight: 175 lbs/79.4kg (March 2009)
First Goal Weight: 220 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 185 lbs
R65 Starting Weight: 105.8kg/233.2 lbs
R65 Goal Weight: 103.9-104.3kg/229-230 lbs


Daily Goals:
Drink 90-120oz of water daily; consume 1300 cal (amended) and measure food; no added sugars/sweeteners; around 1500mg sodium intake max; get in 5000+ steps daily; do chi gung; sleep more than 6 hours nightly!


Day/Weight/Comment

01/13: 233.2 @ 5:30am - Light eating much of the day which 'justified' eating some pizza for dinner. Water intake was good and I got a nice amount of sleep! Tomorrow should be much more organized, so I'm expecting better results in terms of meeting my daily goals.

01/14: ??? - Woke up later than anticipated and started working from home right away, so I missed the weighing window I've established. Healthy breakfast and lunch, but less meals, less steps, less water, and a lack of measuring for meals all probably did not serve me well. I'm going to look to have my meals prepped and measured out, and remember that starting (or restarting) a process like this can have growing pains even if you've done it before!

01/15: 234.8 @ 6:50am - This was not surprising, but no less unwelcome. I did start my morning off with water, measured meals for the day, and an agenda for the day that includes some walking. Surely enough, I had a really good day that had me meeting all of my goals (except my water intake), almost hitting 10,000 steps, and feeling really good if a tad hungry/crave-y!

01/16: 234.2 @ 7:05am - Glad to see things going in a good direction after a (almost) fully disciplined day! This was a very good day that saw me slightly under steps and almost completely absent water (busy work day). I was still cognizant of getting movement in throughout the day, hit all my other goals, and have entered the craving-free zone that I was waiting on. I'm excited now!

01/17: 231.8 @ 6:45am - Whoosh! Today things were absolutely on point. 7500+ steps, 94oz of water, meals measured and eaten (which automatically controls the sodium/sugar if I don't go off plan), a great amount of sleep, and continuing to make good decisions regarding fitness. Life is more than a little wonky this week, and/but this seems to be one of the things that is coming around and providing positive change. Let's keep it going!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 - 189.5- didn’t make the best food choices before bedtime. Bread at dinner seem to really mess with my morning weight. Also ate Ben and Jerry’s right before my eating time was over..
01/14 - 189.5 more bad choices. I need to keep track of food again. I was trying to do this without tracking but I need the accountability
01/15 - 187! I kept to my calories and NO SUGAR SWEETS!
01/16 - 186.5 loving this program. I’m not even hungry on off hours anymore!
01/17 - 188 hmm.. I actually didn’t eat enough yesterday and felt sick this morning. Not sure how this number came up. Won’t let it get me down. I hope to be at 185 by 1/22!
01/18 - 188.5?! Wth... maybe lack of water?

Round 64 SW 206.6 EW - 207

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.
01/17 - 205.8. I thought yesterday’s weight might have been too good to be true. I had a saltier supper last night too. Have my day planned including a walk at lunch and a treadmill workout tonight. Let’s see if I can bring the number down again.
01/18 - 205.8. I was hoping I would see a drop but maintaining is better than gaining. I worked out last night so that might be why. Have to keep it together today. Staff meeting which means food and lunch out with a friend.

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.
1/17 - 173.8 - 39g carbs, 20 net carbs. Carbs were: salad, keto seed porridge, spaghetti squash.

1/18 - 172.2 - 19g carbs, 13g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, radishes, sunflower seeds, dill pickles.

@MadisonMolly2017 FIRST, congratulations on your new low! I love reading your posts! Re-reading my post, I realize it sounds boastful. That was not my intention. My goal weight at WW in 1986 was around 126 and I have not been this close since the late 80’s, about 30 years ago!

@puttyputty Oskar is a snuggler if fleece is involved - even when it’s 110 here! LOL

@StefanieBerger88 You are a busy lady! KUDOS for being a busy working mom, taking care of a family and taking care of YOU! You’ve got this and we’ve got your back!

@deepwoodslady How great is that? Congratulations to your son AND to you!

1/13: 201.4 - up .6lbs from yesterday. Still pretty sick and miserable. Hit all my goals except steps and exercise. Still had 9k steps and hit my Fitbit calorie burn goal - moms never really get to rest

1/14: 201.2 - Still sick, hit all my goals yesterday except for dedicated exercise.

1/15: 201.6 - Yesterday, still sick, but getting better. Hit all my goals.

1/16: 200.8 - back to where I started the round. It’s a special type of mental torture hovering over onederland for so many days. Met all my goals yesterday. Feeling better except a lingering cough.

1/17: 200.6 - Yesterday, ate a chocolate muffin for breakfast but still stayed within my calorie goal for the day. Didn’t work out as hard as usual but still got in 1hr dedicated exercise. Only drank 80oz of water instead of my 100oz goal. I really wanted a glass of wine, but I resisted.

1/18: 200.8 - seriously?! Ate really well yesterday, hit all my goals.

Round 65 SW: 216.4

1/13—216.6—Excellent. I was afraid yesterday's number was a fluke and that I'd bounce way high again. Yesterday, at the very end of round 64, I managed 31 push ups. I'm nearly 1/3 of the way to my end of year goal of being able to do 100 push ups in a single set. Losing more weight would likely help me with that goal!

1/14—219—Least shocking spike ever. I didn't eat well yesterday but had a true salt fest.

1/15—217—It'd be interesting to see where this number would be if I could stop eating salt-laden snacks. Bah!

1/16—218.4—I have no explanation other than a slightly earlier weigh-in. Huh! Still, I'm feeling pretty good.

1/17—218.2—Hmm hmm hmm. This round has been a puzzle. Work is very hectic right now, but I like being busy. I'm not eating terribly, but it's not spectacular either.

1/18—216.6—Back to the first day's weight. Yesterday, after I did another round of my push ups challenge, I realized that I had just done 100 push ups in around 10 minutes (they were staggered across 8 sets, with 1 minute breaks between sets). I'm getting close to my goal!

Goal: Continue to work on elimination diet for my food allergies.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13--214.7 Went to the gym this morning to do some weightlifting. Other than going to Lowe's this morning to buy some wood, I will be vegitating the rest of the day.
01/14--215.8 Woke up so sore from workout yesterday, so not surprised about the increase in weight on the scale this morning and it also didn't help that I didn't drink a lot of water yesterday. Starting C25K today and making sure I get my water in today.
01/15--215.8 Finished W1D1 yesterday. Went to the gym this morning and did some weightlifting. Drank more water yesterday,so just need to continue with that today. Plan today is to hang a door and organize my laundry/storage area.
01/16--214.9 Sore from weightlifting yesterday. I hung the door yesterday, took much longer than I thought it would which is usually the case, but did not organize the laundry/storage area, so plan is to do that today. Also today is day 2 of c25k. Yoga tonight.
01/17--214.7 Weightlifting today.
01/18--214.8 I so did not want to go to the gym yesterday, so I made a deal with myself that I would go to the gym and give myself the ok to not do any of the lifts that I didn't feel like doing. In the end I went to the gym and followed the whole program except for 1 lift, so I am very proud of myself. Today is day 3 of c25k, hoping the rain holds out when I plan to go running. Elimination diet has definitely gotten much easier and my digestive system feels so much better, but I so miss a lot of foods...two more weeks until my next meeting with the nutritionist.

1/18 180.4 And the hits just keep coming. Up today despite staying within calories and exercising yesterday. On my way to work there was an accident that forced me on a different route. Which prompted my desire to get something not so healthy for breakfast instead of the oatmeal that was waiting for me at the office. I was feeling sorry for myself at 180.4 and thought a McDonald's sausage biscuit would taste pretty good right about now. As I got closer I started to think of how good it would taste, then I remembered how my stomach would feel about an hour later. How three days ago I felt like junk because of bad food choices. So my positive thought for the day is I drove away from McD's without that crappy breakfast and instead enjoyed my healthier choice. I gotta take that as a win.

@shunggie, that's definitely a win! You weighed your options and thought about how you would feel and then made a choice that reflected your rational decision. That's excellent and all any of us can expect of ourselves. Yes, sometimes we will want a sausage biscuit and sometimes we'll have one, but we can choose when and where! Awesome job! (I'll confess that I would rather like one right now. I can't eat them because of the wheat, but it sounds pretty yummy.)

@taxgirl1, I make deals like that with myself all the time and most of the time it works out really well. I never want to think of exercise as punishment, so sometimes I have to be tolerant of my own frustration and impatience.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with an elimination diet! I feel your pain. I hope you figure out what's causing your issues and get that cleared up. Digestive issues are NO FUN.

My original weight was 228, managed to lose about 30 lbs, but then gradually gained to 209. And am now having troublet to keep below 200. I would love to be, eventually, 170.

@fraukazi Get rid of the “bad” stuff you bought and get back on track. YOU CAN DO THIS!

@salleewins Happy birthday! Mine is a month from today.

@jaccimc63 When my check engine light goes on, the gas cap hasn’t seated properly. I think in 16.5 years we have had to replace the cap 3 times and last time the had to reset the indicator. Sometimes if you get the cap on it resets itself. That traction thing would concern me! Hope it all works out and you are safe.

@shunggie I had to grin as I read about you skipping McD’s for the oatmeal. I endured many months of oatmeal as a WW. I never liked the texture and it always felt as if I had eaten lead weights and I would actually be hungry again in a couple of hours. Now when we travel I get a sausage egg McMuffin, hold the muffin. It satisfies and I’m not hungry for at least 6 hours. @puttyputty You could do this! Different strokes for different folks!

@puttyputty Alastair is very handsome!

25th Round for me: Female 65, height 5’
In for another round. I think I'm back to some consistency after subbing work in Nov. and holiday food. Hoping to see a solid loss.

Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, -.2
Round 40 – on holidays, gain +1.6
Round 41 – SW 164.4, -2
Round 42 - SW: 162.6, -.6
Round 43 – SW 162, -.4
Round 44 – SW 161.6, -1.6
Round 45 – SW 160.8, +1
Round 46 – SW 161.8, +.6
Round 47 – SW 162.4, -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, -.8
Round 51 – SW 160.8 -1
Round 52 – on holidays, no scale
Round 53 – SW 159.8, -1.4
Round 54 – SW 158.4, +.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
Round 63 - 160.6, +1.2
Round 64 – 161.6, +.6

Goal this round: To get out of the 160’s or at least consistently not above 160. 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 .8/Round but for me would be great progress.
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 – 162.2 – Thought I had a loss in Round 64 but actually a big blip up and then went down but in the end – a tiny gain. Shows the value of this challenge, I see what’s really happening.
01/14 – 162 – Yesterday not a bad day calorie wise but very sedentary. Off to the gym here shortly and a busy day.
01/15 – 161.8 – So happy with this. A little “finishing supper late” when I got home at 10:00 last night as I had to rush out the door to a meeting but quit before it became a snackfest.
01/16 – 161.8 – Not sure this will stay, long day yesterday and went about 200 cals over but off to the gym today so maybe that will work it off.
01/17 – 162.4 – Third day of having a little snack in the evening – 2 cookies, 150 cal.- and here we are. Feeling behind and a little ??? about my friend – I didn’t even realize I was wondering ‘what’s up?’ with the friend until I looked at my eating pattern and saw that I was going downhill since Monday. So glad I realized that and can deal with it head on instead of stuffing it.
01/18 – 162.8 Good cals & no LNS yesterday.

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.

1/12 129.5
::::::::::::::::::
01/13 129.5 Fourth day in the 129.x range. Today DD#2 turns 46. She was 3 weeks early, according to the doctor. At 7# 9 oz, I’m glad she didn’t wait! The doctor thought it was false labor and told Carl to give me 3 aspirins and a cup of strong tea. Before I finished the tea, the cramping was about every 3 minutes. Carl called the doctor and the doctor said the emergency room would be waiting for me! Someone was at the door to whisk me away while Carl took DD#1 to the sitter 2 blocks away. By the time he got back beautiful DD#2 had arrived. 21 minutes from door to done! I always thought it was interesting that DD#1 was born at 5:08 and DD#2 was born 5 hours and 8 minutes later (plus 2 years and 9 days.) I often wondering what time #3 would have been born, had there been a #3. My mind is weird! Happy birthday
**01/14 128.5 I don’t think I posted yesterday. I was busy in the kitchen all day getting ready for company for dinner.
01/15 129.5 We had friends for dinner last night. I tried 2 new recipes one for Garlicky Butter Parmesan Pork Chops and one for Blood Orange Rum Cake, both Keto. Then I also made the ketofied version of Boston Market butternut squash and the not even close to Keto dinner rolls I always used to make. I think it’s been 2 years since I made those. I ate 3 of them, in the past I would have eaten lots more. I’m still (barely) in nutritional ketosis so time to get back on track. Less than 2 qt of water.
01/16 Good day yesterday. Today Art Quilts and tonight community BINGO.
01/17 129.5 Car dropped of at dealer, coffee consumed, going to craft with a friend - we each do our own thing but it’s nice to have sometime chat with. Two years ago today the cardiologist told me I had NOT had a heart attack and my weight was 174.5. I am proud of myself for the progress I have made and thank God for sending me Keto!
01/18 129.0. Had a good day yesterday. Car window fixed and spark plugs changed (long overdue apparently.) Movie and dinner out today.

Round 65 (this is my 2nd time)

5'4" Female
SW: 162.7 lbs
GW: 140-145 lbs


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.
1/17 - 162.4 (my scale is touchy - I weighed 2 more times and the 2nd time it said 159.8, then 160.4 - so I chose the largest number to be safe). I am feeling great! My energy is up. My mental clarity is so much better. I am THRILLED with how I am feeling. I have been exhausted for way too long, so this is AWESOME!
1/18 - 160.1 - Got a great workout in this morning. It was only 25 minutes long; sweat was coming out of me and I was out of breath. Feeling great! Had some healthy fats and protein at breakfast time (around 6am) and it is 4 hours later......not feeling hungry. I love it. I used to have 1-2 snacks by now!

@deepwoodslady I am so happy for you! I also have a 13 year old son with autism. He has sensory and texture issues to, so I know how hard it is some days for you and him. I have the opposite problem with my son though. He is 5'8" at 13 years old and weighs just over 100 lbs. I have to force him to leave his rooms sometimes to make sure he eats a decent dinner. I am always trying to make him eat snacks and put some meat on his bones. I have to fight my urges on a daily basis when I pull out some cookies or a honey bun or put extra mashed potatoes on his plate not to get some myself. Lol, I am happy that you and your son are finding ways to get around different situations. I have 4 other kids and we have all learned a lot in the last couple of years. It's a struggle some days, but I think we are finally figuring stuff out. Congrats!

01/13 Did not weigh
01/14 144.5 the weekend was not a great one, had pizza and a lot of carbs and I had a little late night snacking. Goal is to stick with intermittent fasting all week this week, even through the weekend.
01/15 144 Happy to be back down . Did good last night, I was so hungry but I did not snack.
01/16 144 I have been super exhausted.. thankfully I got plenty of sleep last night and feel so much better.
01/17 143.5 Yay
01/18 143.5 Overall this has really been a great week for me. Yesterday was a higher carb day, but I still stayed under my goal. Cravings are starting to get better. No late night snacking all week thanks to sticking to intermittent fasting. I stopped buying my favorite cereal too, I was getting to where I was eating 2 bowls every night and that wasn't good!
