JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 65

mamarh

@abowersgirl I feel your pain! BTW I love that you post your old results from the other challenges and can watch your weight loss journey but I can see it’s taken dedication and many weeks and rounds. I can relate to this so much, as well as going up on the scale for no apparent reason sometimes. I’m so glad I found this board.. Been struggling on my own for a very long time.

Thanks for having me!

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 but it’s not too late to turn them around!! Slow & Steady!
01/19 188 - Holding Steady ... not feeling my best but I won’t give up!
01/20 188 - No weigh in
01/21 191 - I’m owning this! I could give so many excuses but it’s just not necessary. I didn’t take care of myself this weekend & the scale shows. Tomorrow will be better!
01/22 - 190 - Right back where I started. But I’ve learned a lot this week that’s for sure! I’m looking forward to the next round & making some real progress.

stuck to 1200 calories or less

@euronorris Thank you for that mouthwatering description! We had a neighbor in southern Illinois who was British. We enjoyed one holiday dinner with her family and the Yorkshire pudding was SOOOO good. Very much like the popovers I used to make.

JANUARY GOALS: Lose 10 pounds and 3 inches

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!
01/17 ~ 219.0 !!!!! @ 5:30am - almost fainted.
01/18 ~ 218.8 @ 6:00am Horribly stressful day yesterday and another rough day ahead ... alcohol is an "absolute" certainty this evening.
01/19 ~ DNW or log or do anything nutritionally productive.
01/20 ~ 218.0 @ 11:30am - glad to see .... have been helping extended family sort a personal crisis the past few days and feeling a tiny bit run down. Yesterday I had to unexpectedly shop for, clean cook and help host a get together for 10 until 3:00am. Today will be 3 days without working out and my IF schedule is completely shot!! Going to need rest of the day to get back in the swing of things.
01/21 ~ 217.8 @ 5:00am
01/22 ~ 219.2 @ 6:30 am – DANGER Will Robinson ~ 3 cheese pasta, dip and chips stress eating + half-hearted (instead of HIIT) exercise is upon you!! YOU MUST do better today!!! Then I should probably go stand in front of my mirror naked ..... congrats and condolences peeps. See you next round.

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.
1/19 179.9 At least it's down. No exercise yesterday and probably none today. Freezing rain followed by snow. Fingers crossed we keep the power this week. My yard is still full of branches, it's 9 degrees and still snowing. Old Kris would bake and eat a bunch of cookies. I guess I'll do an exercise video or something. I started this round down 35 pounds and I just want to get back to that. When I lost weight before I plateaued at 180 pounds. This is bringing back bad memories.
1/20 179.9 Yes well I didn't walk on Saturday too cold. Stayed within calories but not healthy ones.
1/21 181.5 I blame the Chiefs for this. I was pretty good until the 4th quarter then I stress ate like a monster. Salami slices with cheese and crackers. Graduating to mini cookies and even been a slice of cake. We can blame bad officiating favoring Tom Brady but I think it was an overall weak defense... AGAINST SNACKS!
1/22 182.1 I walked four miles yesterday and three the day before in freezing sub freezing temps and I'm still up. The trail was mostly clear of ice (trees were all over the place) but I still managed to fall and have a bruise on my backside to prove it. Granted I'm getting kind of addicted to walking in the cold (after the first 1/2 mile) but still. I had a weird food day yesterday. No breakfast, then we went to a pan Asian restaurant for lunch and had a salad I don't know how to log (I took a stab anyway) and shared some ramen, that while delicious, I'm sure is full of sodium. I was good for dinner but knew I'd still but up today just not up even higher. I'm going to avoid sodium today and hope for a whoosh tomorrow. Otherwise this will be my worst round yet. It's the curse of the 180's or maybe I'm manufacturing this with memories. How can we know?

Day/Weight/Comment/10-day calorie ave

01/13 - 138.8 - 1683
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 - 1706
Sodium yesterday, and not enough water. Back on track today.

01/15 - 139.2 - 1691
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 - 1701
That's better. I ate responsibly yesterday and did an hour+ on the bike.

01/17 - 139 - 1724
I'm sticking to my exercise program, but not so much to my calorie goals. I clearly reset my sugar cravings over the holidays! But I'm working on it....and today is a new day. Reset!

01/18 - 139.2 - 1969
Gaaa! I don't know what's wrong with me lately. Ate too much. It was all good, healthy food, just too much of it. Off to the gym, and stocking up on veggies for big snow that's coming tomorrow.

01/19 - 139.2 - 1532
We're snowed in today, so I'm planning house stuff - rearranging some furniture, cleaning, cooking....maybe a nap!

01/20 - 139.6 - 1736
It's MUCH colder today -- 14F, windchill -2. Glad I shoveled yesterday while it was in the balmy 20s! We're staying home, so I've spent the morning doing things I usually don't. Stay warm and safe, those of you also getting pounded by snow, ice, and c-c-c-cold!

01/21 - 139 - 1574
Even colder today - last time I checked it was -10F. But tomorrow it's going to be warmer! I'd really like to get to the gym today, but might stay home to write and paint (art, not walls). And to keep my kitten, Stirling, out of trouble - he's a real corker this morning!


01/22 - 139 - 1654
Didn't make it to the gym yesterday, but I'm heading there in a few minutes. Weight steady this round, which is fine considering I've been baking up a storm - bread, healthy muffins.... Don't know what's gotten into me - must be the COLD weather! The upside is that I'm eating more calories and holding pretty steady. The downside is that although I'm at a healthy weight, I'd like to be 10-15 pounds lighter. I plan to get there in 2019, but slowly is fine. So on to R66!

Short term GW3: 170.0 by 1/7/19 - date not met, still working towarads it though!
UGW: 155ish - by April 2019 - this date will most likely be pushed out too and thats ok with me!

01/13 - Sunday - 176.8
01/14 - Monday - DNW
01/15 - Tuesday - 175.0 - I considered sitting this round out. My mental health is taking a beating at the moment with work related things for both me and DH. NOT focusing on that stress though. Only solutions. And I realized that burying my head in the sand and ignoring my own physical health would only be feeding the stress monster, not solutions. I do plan to give myself some grace this round and not push as hard - My mom, grandma and myself are going on a Spa sleepover for grandma's 85th birthday Thursday/Friday! Good genes on that side of the family! Timing could not be better. So, taking things one day, one step, one foot in front of the other at a time.
01/16 - Wednesday - 176.0 - TOM is due Saturday but we also have been TTC this month - so not sure if I'm extra hungry with TOM actually due or if I we did perhaps conceive this month - I'll find out soon enough. Just hoping that if TOM does come it waits til after mini vaca. Either way I was just so hungry last night. I kept trying to reign it in but I was like the hungry caterpillar, little of this, little of that on and on. I'm going away tomorrow and wont be home til Friday night so no weigh ins and unplugging. Really really really working on my attitude at work, because I chose how I react to situations, not the situation getting a desired reaction out of me! It's really hard to be positive sometimes, but after all, most good things don't come easy.
01/17 - Traveling
01/18 - Traveling
01/19 - DNW
01/20 - DNW
01/21 - DNW
01/22 - Tuesday - 179.6 - Well I just Freudian slipped and typed 197 at first, and it was a good reminder that I HAVE come a long way despite this emotional eating uptick. I'm still learning. I did have a wonderful and relaxing girls trip that included nothing but relaxing and eating. TOM did arrive Saturday, that made me sad, but its probably for the best right now. Work continues to beat me down in a serious way. I may be moving on. That's been terrifying for me. But I knew I needed to come back and post a final weigh in for accountability. I AM NOT GIVING UP! Not on my weight loss, not on my professional improvement, not on myself!

Yes, they are delicious! You can buy frozen ready made ones now, but they are nowhere near as good!!! Luckily I find them very simple to make so it's not an issue, and I make a big batch of the batter and freeze it in portions to use in future weeks which saves time.

My mother in law makes a large version with sultanas etc in it which is different, but also REALLY tasty! I never stay within my calories when we go to her house for dinner! haha

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!

1/19—216—Still not a perfect eating day yesterday, but it was better! I've started a new 30-day Butt and Gut challenge. Not high-intensity but something to keep me doing some strength/core exercises every day.

1/20—216.6—The push ups challenge had me do 120 pushups in about 15 minutes last night. My arms felt incredibly weak after that! I went bowling this morning and I could feel some stress in my shoulders. I cut it short to be safe. But I bowled really well!

1/21—215.6—Excellent! This has been a nice round for me. I hope anyone in the US with the day off is able to spend it in refreshing and rejuvenating ways.

1/22—214.6—Nice way to end a round. Continuing with the Butt and Gut 30 day challenge, and today I hope to do another test of my push ups ability. I need to get to 45 to advance in the program!

@kmfeig87 You are doing an outstanding job! I just realized you are averaging over 2# each round! Stick with it, you can do it! Those 14x weights are just around the corner!

@deepwoodslady Donna, good job earning the PB before you enjoyed it!

@back2cute I’m sorry you’re having such a rough go of it. You can be strong and make it through. You’re right to continue here, not only to keep a handle on your weight but for the moral support. We all care about you!

@TerriRichardson112 YAY!!!

MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 58 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 23 FOR ME.

“I DON’T STOP WHEN I’M TIRED - I STOP WHEN I’M DONE”





Goals:

Weight:
Short Term Goal: Lose 2 pounds this round.
First Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 175 by Valentine’s Day 💗💗💗 I hope to achieve this by losing about 1.5 pounds per week (or 2 lbs per round).
My Second Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 155 by my Birthday on May 10th by sticking to my plan to lose 1.5 pounds per week (or 2 lbs per round).
My third Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 145 by the 4th of July using the same plan as above.
Exercise:
During each Weight goal I plan on increasing my walking (back to what I did when I was on a downward trend). I also want to increase my cardio and regularly use weights to help firm my flabby arms.

01/17 186.4
01/18 186.2 Okay, even a small change downward is encouraging. Great day yesterday Healthwise. I got in 66 minutes of aerobic dancing in two sets. My son did one set of 39 minutes with me. He complained a little about it being too long, so I may cut his down to about 30 minutes temporarily until he adjusts. I don’t want him to cross his arms and downright quit and that would be a distinct possibility if I don’t act fast! However, he fully cooperated with the set at the moment. My Keto day went absolutely fantastic. I am always so happy when I feel so strong and stick with it like this. My mind took over last night in bed and I wanted to snack for sure. Hunger or Habit? I still don’t know. I may have gotten hungry from the late night set of dancing. I tried tons of water but that wasn’t it. I drank some tea and it helped for a bit, but I was up hours later and it came back nagging. So I am proud to say that I got on MFP and checked my macros to see what would be more helpful instead of hurtful. I was a bit down on protein so I made a slimfast advanced nutrition high protein smoothie using almond milk (unsweetened) instead of milk to keep the carb count down to 2. It helped fill me up AND combat my sweet tooth. I don’t like to do this everyday, it does have sweeteners in it, but it is nice to have some ammunition to load in my gun if I need it, and it fit the bill last night. I think today is going to be another great day. I have already done one small set of aerobic dancing and am minding my IF 16:8 again. I actually hit 6 hours of sleep last night which I haven’t done in over a month. Water…… I have glass in hand and I’m coming for you today!
01/19 186.2 Okay. Still the same. But I can’t do everything right & have it go wrong so I’ll accept steady. Over 15,000 steps yesterday. 6.5 miles walked including 2 miles at the school. Stayed on plan with nearly perfect macros. Fought hunger for LNS with walnuts & 1 square of 90% cacao chocolate. Approx 45 minutes of aerobic dancing in two sets (as time allows). Feeling good and I know a whoosh will come soon. Today I take my DGS out for their hair appointments and to lunch. I will probably pass on the food and just behold their beautiful faces instead of stuffing mine. Out of town next week so I cannot afford to undo my mindset now. Have a great Saturday everyone!
01/20 186.0 Negative 14 degrees F last night actual. Brrrr. A little under calories yesterday, a little over on the carbs. Ended up eating some of the pizza with my DGS’s in the pizzeria yesterday, but kept it under control calorie wise. Not as much movement since I was gone a lot in the afternoon and had company last night, but I did get in a bit of dancing in-between. I won’t bore you with all the songs I’m using but one of the songs was “All Summer Long” by Kid Rock. Of course, I will have to admit that part of its charm is the “Northern Michigan” line in it since that is where I’m from (Kid Rock is a Michigander too). I must say I like a huge mix of music from classic rock to oldies bop to country and everything in-between as long as it makes me feel great when I hear it. I am loving this new Amazon Dot with my Prime though some versions of the songs are not my favorite. Total steps 11,121 Total miles 4.72.
01/21 185.4 Yessssss…… The dancing is starting to finally show up on the scale in a positive way! Sample song from yesterday- “Kick the dust up” by Luke Bryan. 4 hours 4 minutes of sleep. 41 minutes of aerobic dance. Tons of housekeeping in business & home (much much more to do today as I prep for a general insurance inspection on all the cabins, my house, garage, rental house next door and all outbuildings. Ugg). 15,251 steps yesterday and 6.47 general miles. IF 16:8 . Excellent macro ratio/percentages. Just under calorie count. At carb count. I wanted a TBSP of peanut butter last night so I walked up & down my hallway until I reached a mile so I could “earn” it first. I’m not always quite this dedicated, but I’m working on it. I hope for more & more of these strong days.
01/22 187.1Drats! I feel like all I have to do is think about food and I gain more in an afternoon than I can lose in 10 days! Inspection of motel, cabins, houses and outbuildings today. Worked like mad yesterday getting ready. 17,602 steps. 7.45 miles. No dancing or planned exercise, just too busy. Went out to quick lunch to keep the kitchen clean & save time overall. Ordered breakfast (good for low carb) but it came with pancakes. My son & I split the meal. Later last night, I fell into bed, exhausted and starving. I made crackers with cream cheese and ate too many (about 10). That was my dinner. Upward swing on the scale was expected due to carbs, but not this much! Disappointed because I know how long it will take to come off compared to how it comes on. Inspections begin at 1:00 . I just can’t wait for this to be over! Nice job to everyone who found some sort of success in this round. I didn’t lose any weight but I certainly got lots of support and ideas. Thanks for the incentive. See you next round!

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

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 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

My goals this round- get to into the 160’s!!!!!!. Drink lots of water and make exercise a priority.
1/13-170 I got a good downward swoosh!!! I so badly want to get into the 160’s.
1/14-171 a swoosh up. Back in the day, in my 20’s I could pretty much lose a pound a day if I exercised and starved myself.Its a whole different ball game now!😂
1/15-171 Dinner out with the quilters, I made wise choices but it was salty. Non stop rain; the dogs and I want to walk.
1/16-170 Went to the movies; took my own popcorn with real butter and sea salt -absolutely rewarding. Today I travel to MIL’s for a couple of days; hopefully I can get out and walk and avoid all of the bread and potatoes that are there.
1/17-No Scale
1/18-No Scale
1/19-170 Whew! While I was gone, we ate pizza out and had pasta and French bread, usually I just throw in the towel and continue to eat like a pig when I get home. I stayed on track as best as I could and think I can hit the 160’s this round.
1/20-172 A swoosh up after good choices of salty lunch yesterday and not enough water. Tomorrow should be better.
1/21-168-Finally!!! A swoosh down and I am into toe 160’s! I am excited! I have not had time to exercise because I am packing to move, bu I am making wise food choices.
1/22-169 Oh, the ups and downs.....yesterday I had to drive 6 hours in the car and didn’t drink much water. At least I didn’t eat crap on the way, to entertain myself. I ate pretty light. I want to stay in the 160’s.
See all of you the next round!

allmannerofthings

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.
1/19 175.8 Another nice surprise! I did well at my event but caved to LNS when I got home. Plan today is 2 hour open invite workout at DS TaeKwonDo school - if the weather does not get too bad. We are getting lots of snow this weekend. It has already started several hours sooner than forecast.
There are so many posts - I am having trouble keeping up - but I am very happy to see you all here.
1/20 DNW I am really proud of myself. I did the whole 2 hour Tae Kwon Do training. I was definitely the oldest and the heaviest person there - I was partnered with a lady who is more than 20 years younger than me, but I kept up with the class and did not need any extra breaks. I did have to modify some exercises as I don't have the flexibility for some of them. Afterwards my knees were a bit sore and I was very hungry - but I had fun (and did not embarrass DS1 too much). Last night DS2 was having a rough time so I was very late to bed and slept until noon today. So I missed church and my weigh in. Lots to do today -my new cupboards are installed in the kitchen - now I need to clean them and start putting things away.

1/21 176.4 Not surprising. We are still without fridge and stove, so living on convenience food, so over cals and sodium I am sure. Still a bit sore from Saturday's workout, but in a good way!
1/22 178.6 Some of that is sodium related and some is just overeating. Still I am down 1.2 for the round. On to round 66 (now I have the Route 66 song stuck in my head) I haven't been logging since mu kitchen has been under reno but I am going to start again even if it is just approximations. I think I need reality check.

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 well yesterday, hit all my goals.

1/19: 201.2 - 🤬. Hit all my goals yesterday

1/20: Didn’t weigh. Hit all my goals, except we got a very rare date night, so I had wine. No regrets.

1/21: 203.6 - 😞 Ate clean and hit all my goals yesterday

1/22: 200.6 - Hit all my goals yesterday. Seriously annoyed at my progress this round. Oh well. Onto round 66! See y’all there!

I always use my end weight from one round as the start for the next. In the beginning, I didn’t but would experience big losses overnight and realized I was losing those numbers when I reported the losses at the end, if that makes sense.

@aFit50 Reshii, you are down almost 4# - “nothing to sneeze at!”

@shunggie Look back at your eating for the last 2-3 days.

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.
01/16 128.5. Good day yesterday. Today Art Quilts and tonight community BINGO.
01/17 129.5 Car dropped off 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.
01/19 129.5 We saw Escape Room. We both thought it was better than the “C” rating it had in the paper. Golden Corral for dinner last night. I needed a steak fix! Had salad, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and a few sautéed mushrooms. Only 4 hours of sleep last night. UGH Going back to bed now!
01/20 129.5 I did go back to sleep yesterday but only for about 40 minutes - not enough! We went to see our favorite band last night. Someone was smoking a cigar which was quite unpleasant even from 30 feet away. I got a headache which stuck with me all night but is finally gone.
01/21 129.5 Eating yesterday weird but within calories and macros.
01/22 129.0 Very pleased with this round! See you in Rnd 66 —

@sue_01 Okay, Sue, it's the end of another round, so give me a clue! Maybe I just haven't been here long enough to know your story, but are you here to maintain or to lose weight? I never see grumbling from you, so whatever you're doing must be working. Right?

@back2cute Sorry you're going through a stressful time. It may not help to remind you everyone else has those times, too. We cope in different ways. I pray and stay busy. Years ago, I ran to relieve stress in my chaotic marriage. It kept me slim. I only gained weight when I remarried and became relaxed and content. Everything has a price! Over the years, I've learned prayer and studying God's Word keeps me focused, through good times and bad. I have Christ, which means I have an advocate with the Father. I wish you well as you work through your issues.

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 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 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.
01/19 – 162.2 Cleaning house today, which will get in some movement – still hoping to do a few exercises at home as well. Went to the gym yesterday but was very late getting there. So, for the first time, just did the cardio and a few of the mat exercises. Usually I tell myself I’ll cut it short but I never do even though it throws my day off. Then the next time I’m running late I don’t go at all. Proud of myself for keeping my day in mind and not deceiving myself into thinking I can stretch time to fit in all my wishes. That just ends in a crash and burn evening.
01/20 – 162.4 – a little over yesterday as was hungry in the evening and had banana, skim yogurt and a sprinkle of choc. chips. I think the blip up is more likely our saltier supper. Tried a new seasoning recipe for meat and cut the salt by more than ½ and it was still too salty for me. Otherwise a good recipe.
01/21 – 162.4 – Suddenly invited out for supper last night – very good but not low cal. I did eat carefully but I’m sure was still way over so was kind of expecting a blip up. Off to the gym for a little while but have to get the car home for DH.
01/22 – 161.8 – Nice to finally finish with a little loss. Was afraid that the hamburger & dessert on Sunday would make me finish high. It seems that LNS is much worse for me than a little extra on a meal.

See you all next round!

01/13 - 166 - happy I didn't gain after eating a burger and drinking a beer last night. I stayed under calorie goal for the day and hiked with my dog.
01/14 - 169.2 - not sure why this is such a big jump... :-(
Yesterday I did a 8 mile trail run and burned 1000+ calories (so says my app). I ate way under calorie goal. Guessing this is a short term gain, I hope.

01/16 - no scale
01/17 - no scale
01/18 - no scale
