Good morning! This morning I am sure I am holding on to a bit of water weight as I overate last night!! Feeling very bleh this morning but ready for accountability throughout the next ten days.

01/24 141.4
Yay! Loss! I knew yesterday’s weight gain had to have been water weight so I drank as much water as I could yesterday and ended up having over 10,000 steps which is quite a bit since I spend the majority of my day in class and it’s absolutely freezing where I am. I also took a Pure Barre class in the evening and cooked a Hello Fresh meal that was amazing!!

01/25 No Scale
01/26 No Scale

01/27 140.8
Getting closer to the 130s! That will be such a happy day! I’m actually surprised I’ve seen as much loss as I have. The past couple of days I’ve been spending a lot of time in the car even though I’ve squeezed a workout in the rest of my time was pretty sedentary. I ate around 1700 calories both Friday and Saturday and even though it resulted in a loss I think I’m going to still aim for about 1500 and use the extra 200 as a buffer if I need it.

01/28 141.0
Yesterday was completely on plan, I tracked all day and even went to a 75 minute Pure Empower Barre Class where I burned about 450 calories according to my Apple Watch that I did not eat back. A gain is a little frustrating but I know I didn’t drink enough water yesterday so I am going to chalk it up to that. I made a Hello Fresh Meal last night that was probably a bit high in sodium so that may have made a difference too especially combined with the lack of water.

01/23 - 190.1 - I stayed low carb all day yesterday and I’m on the right track for today so far!
01/24 - 189 - Headed in the right direction. I had a very stressful day and I really wanted to eat the stress away with carbs, but I didn’t. I wasn’t perfect on eating no carbs, but in the past I would have said screw it and gotten something sweet when I was stressed. I’m really trying to clean up my relationship with food, especially carbs.
01/25 - 188.6 - Still headed in the right direction. I woke up feeling dehydrated and swollen. Hopefully I got enough water today. I had a glass of wine after work today, but carbs were low otherwise so maybe I’ll still stay under carbs today.
01/26 - 187.3 - I have been doing really well with my low carb goal. I am hoping to get back to exercising this weekend, so I might go up a little in weight but it’ll be worth it.
01/27 - 186.5 - This is the lowest I’ve been in a couple of months. I’m expecting a slow down in the next couple days because this was all water weight. I’m ok with that though. As long as the trend overall keep going down, I’ll be happy.
01/28 - 188.4 - Two pounds of water added back on in one night. I was really craving buffalo wings so I got them. I also got a salad and ate some of the homemade bread that comes with it. I could tell last night that I was retaining water. I’ll be sure to drink lots of water today and keep the carbs down. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

01/23 – 197.1 – back on track. Recorded all food and drank my water. No exercise though.
01/24 – 195.3 – so excited!! Recorded all food, drank my water, no alcohol, but didn’t exercise. I was very tempted last night with a glass of wine and my husband had a candy bar (offered me some too.)
01/25 – 196.0 – up some, but that seems to be a trend. Recorded all food (was over 6 calories), drank my water, no alcohol, and not exercise. I need to walk, but it’s so cold outside.
01/26 – 194.7 – YEA under 195. Still no exercise, but recorded food (and was under, but had a glass of wine) and drank all my water.
01/27 – 194.9 – I’ll take that. I had 2 glasses of wine, but still stayed below calories. Still no exercise, but drank all my water.
01/28 – 195.3 – I knew it was probably coming. I had bacon yesterday but stayed below calories and drank all my water. No alcohol or exercise. It I keep my salt low today maybe tomorrow will be better.

I hit my “goal weight” around late November. I’ve managed to maintain around this weight since then. What I have realized though, is that I don’t think I would’ve been able to maintain without the daily accountability of this challenge. Thank you to @Grandmajackie and all of you contributors for the daily insights and commiseration. It makes all the difference in being successful at weight loss this time.

Day/Weight/Comment

01/23 - 145 – Back down again. I don’t have any real temptations (except for the full jar of candy bars at our office front desk) until this weekend. I’d like to drop a little before the weekend hits.
01/24 – 145 – I’ve done pretty well sticking to weight loss calories this week, so I’m hoping to see a little drop tomorrow.
01/25 – 145 – My husband and I have to grab carry out for supper tonight (we’re doing a lot of running around) so since I haven’t lost anything the past couple days, I’ll forego my favorite dish from the restaurant and order the healthier, lighter version.
01/26 – 144 – I’m a little surprised to see this because although I stayed within calories, we ate pretty late and I indulged in a shot of blackberry brandy to chase away the sub-zero wind chills we dealt with yesterday. @deepwoodslady and several others inspired me to shout a few dance tunes from the 80’s to my Alexa Echo and I danced around my kitchen for about 10 minutes while my husband showered. Maybe that’s what did it?
01/27– 144.5 – Today is my only day off and we have more running around to do today. Due to several issues going on right now, I’m going to do my best to stay within weight loss calories, but there will be a lot of eating on the run today.
01/28 – 145 – I made pretty good food choices yesterday, so the weekend fallout isn’t too bad compared to last week.

New here, hoping a 10 day challenge will keep me on track, usually I give up because I have a bad day or two and don't want to log. Based in the UK.

SW on 01/18: 326lbs
GW: 234lbs (temp goal)
CW: 324lbs ish.

My goal is to be under 322 by the end of January as that's down to the round stone. Under would be nice but I'm not aiming lower.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23: 323.5lbs (-0.5) - my scale does 1/4lb increments. Weighed after breakfast instead of before, but I doubt it'll change much.
01/24: 321.75lbs (-1.75) - I suspect most of the drop is water, which I may need to regain. Still recovering from a bad stomach flu, so I'll just see how this settles.
01/25: 322.25lbs (+0.5) - I ate at my calorie goal yesterday, thought this would go up more. Think I'm whooshing a bit just being early on in the process, need to not get discouraged if I stall for a week or 2 due to it later on. Writing it down so I remember!
01/26: 321.5lbs (-0.75) - Quite happy with where I seem to roughly be sitting.
01/27: 320.25lbs (-1.25) - Still seem to be wooshing. Hard to not like it, I think when it tapers off will be the hard part. And I indulged in a lot of camembert and bread yesterday, I thought this may be quite bad today, even though I came in about 300 calories under target (total deficit of 800). The daily changes are very interesting.
01/28: 322.5lbs (+2.25) - Up a bit, I'm not worried, still puts me at about a 1.5lb loss since my last weigh in (I've left mine on the Monday default). Which is about right for fat loss. Woke up with my back very painful today, I have my suspicions it's not a coincidence. Hard part was getting proper breakfast instead of uhealthy snacks. I compromised with a couple of cookies. I know food won't actually fix the pain, and in the long run is causing it!

Round 66: My focus is not breaking my tracking streak since 12/28 and being active every day in some way shape or form! Get up out of the chair from work, reading or tv and MOVE! Retiring Jan 31! Goal is to break into the next decade and make it stick.

1/23 - 240.9 - Last couple of days focused on water and staying within my calorie goal. Using Apple watch to remind me to get up from the desk chair and move each hour in addition to the daily walk.
1/24 - 239.6 - A new decade!!! Remember to never ever return to the 40s … you don’t like it there.
Recumbent bike indoors 20 min when raining. Frustrating day brother/sister inlaws ended with DH & I out for Italian & wine. Never a good thing but the food is tracked and now moving forward.
1/25 - 240.7 - I saw the 30s but it was touch and go! Work celebration and enjoyed chips & guac though no alcohol. Not enough water or exercise. Did walk down 6 flights of stairs at work instead of using elevator.
1/26 - No scale @ hotel. Planned hike 3 miles with my son & his Fiancee to Mount Bonnel then Bull Creek. Today’s total steps 14741! Always left half my food on plate at restaurants.
1/27 - No scale @ hotel. Walked with DH 3.5 miles to breakfast before long car ride.
1/28 - 239.1 - Got of of the 40s! Proud of my better eating & exercise habits when out of down dining out every meal this weekend! I was determined to leave the 40s behind for my official Monday WI.

01/24 198.6 Started IBIH soup diet yesterday. Usually go up a pound after day 1...so I'll take it!

01/25 197.6 1 pound down! I ate between 5 pm and 6:30 pm. Stuck strickly to the plan and drank lots of water.
13,000 steps. Just going to keep plugging along.

01/26 197.4 Well..at least it's going down, if only slightly. Had a rough day at work and had 2 glasses of wine last
night. 13,000 steps logged yesterday. Going to do my HIT workout today and go for a 3 mile walk.

01/27 196.4 Going down...I like it! Did my 3 mile walk, but did not do my weights. Going to brunch with family. Will make smart choices.

01/28 197.8 uhg...walked 6 miles yesterday and worked out with weights. My food was on track, but water was under. I'll just keep plugging on!

Round 66 -189

Day/Weight/Comment
01/23 - 189 - Still fighting a cold but I am happy to say that I have reigned my cravings & portions back in. I am looking forward making some progress this round!
01/24 -187 - Finally seeing some results! My cravings for sugar are almost all gone at this point. The key is not to indulge because once I do it’s so hard to stop again.
01/25 - 186 - It’s so nice to see things moving in the right direction! I just have to continue drinking my water, watching my portions & avoiding sugar & carbs. I’m hoping to keep my focus through the “weakend”!
01/26 - 187 - Slight gain over yesterday’s weigh in & I’m quickly realizing it may be good to start tracking pounds & ounces as well. I’m not surprised by the gain since I indulged in some salted pistachios right before bed. Today will be better & I won’t be buying anymore pistachios! LOL
01/27 186.6 - Busy day & I just finally got around to posting this morning’s weigh in. The family & I had Chinese this afternoon so I’m expecting a small gain tomorrow morning. Otherwise the day was good - no carbs, no sugar.
01/28 187.6 - Yep! I knew I would have a gain from yesterday, but that’s okay! I’m still down from the start & the Chinese was delicious! And I was thinking it would actually be much more sooo... Overall I feel like I survived the “weakend” and now that’s it’s Monday & I’m back to my routine, it’s easier for me to focus on what’s important. Have a great new week everyone!!

01/23 208.2 fell of the wagon a bit last night, but I am back on and ready to go!
01/24 207.8 movin' right along
01/25 206.2 It has been a SUPER stressful week, and I have stayed on track, even made it to kickboxing twice... Yay me! I am going out to dinner tonight, and will indulge, but am confident that it will not derail me. TGIF!
01/26 207.8 I own it! As I said yesterday, last night was a splurge, and it was yummy. My son is working on a health project, and keep hearing him use terms like"good foods" and "bad foods" I want him to understand that You can be healthy, and still enjoy some sliders and fries once in a while, and not feel guilty! Also, that you are in control of your choices. I want him to see that I did not "blow" it, and that today, will continue to my journey of making good choices, and moving more. Weight/Shmeight....I am feeling pretty good right now!
01/27 205.8 Yay! kickboxing today, and shopping for the week. That's right! I was not derailed!
01/28 206 This is ok... I just hope it will be down a little bit again tomorrow. Kickboxed yesterday, walked, and stayed in my calories, definitely did not drink enough water.

SW- 218.0

01/23-216.2- yesterday finished at just under 1700cals, I'm happy with that.

01/24-217.4- not so good yesterday, was tempted to not log but I did. I will be having a low cal day today. I have to remind myself that one day does not take away my successes for the last few weeks, according to Fitbit I have still come away with a deficit from it anyway...so why do I feel so guilty and de-motivated?x

01/25- 215.8- 1350cals yesterday. I'm going to get out in the drizzle in a minute and walk the dog and then Iv got plenty of housework to crack on with. My 1 year old has been very fussy the last few days and nights due to not feeling very well with a nasty cold, I'm feeling a little worn down and tired. Today is going to be a good day, weigh in with the family tomorrow and it would be nice to lose something X

01/26- 215.2- 840cals so a little over fasting calories but still way under maintenance and just over 17,000steps! Weigh in today with the family X

01/27- 216.4

01/28- 213.2- I was shocked to see this number this morning as we went out for a late lunch, early dinner yesterday to TGI Friday's and there was wine involved, hopefully it will stick around. Been doing plenty of walking and today's a low cal day X

@BethE238 When I started my keto journey I was not tracking but I did notice that the rare days I had a glass or 2 of wine, my losing stopped. Too much sugar in them, even the dry ones. Unsweetened spirits (vodka, whiskey, etc. mixed with seltzer or diet tonic) don’t have that effect and I don’t drink as much as I did of the sweetened anything varieties. Those carbs are a weight loss killer for me. Just a thought.

Not only do I usually eat way more than I'd like to admit, I always took some home for later. Didn't happen!!!

01/23 177.6
01/24 177.2
01/25 176.0 I suspect that is the end of the water woosh and things will slow down again now. I still don"t have a fridge or a stove but I have started getting the cupboards and small appliances organized. The cupboards are configured differently than before so it takes some trial and error, but it is very nice to have a new clean kitchen! I think that the first thing I will cook when I get my appliances in chicken picatta - I've never made it before but this seems like a good time to try new things.
01/26 DNW
01/27 177.6 I was basically AWOL yesterday, got my workout in but did not weigh or track. Got up stupidly early to get DS1 out the door for a tournament. In the afternoon I attended a memorial service for a dear friend, mass followed by a series of presentations followed by a reception followed by a party. Dinner was take out Chinese food. I expect some of this gain is sodium related. Back to kitchen unpacking today after I catch up on all the posts here.
01/28 179.0 No good reason, no extenuating circumstances - I just did not have my act together yesterday.

01/23 - 207.2 (2004 steps) I did NOT want to adult on Tuesday. I called off work and just slept. The eating that I did do wasn’t recorded or measured. No exercise. No meal prep. Meh! Hope to pick myself back up and restart for Wednesday.

01/24 – 207.7 (3459 steps) I got back on track Wednesday. I went back to work and did a TON of meal prep when I got home. I cooked 4 pork chops, 3 round steaks, a package of large shrimp, and a package of scallops for a total of 11 meals to cover me up and thru the weekend. Today is a NEW day!

01/25 – 203.6 (5573 steps) 17 minutes on bike (3.81 miles) – Thursday was an awesome day. I wasn’t hungry. I didn’t snack. Work was stressful to the MAX but I did not ease that stress by eating. I actually allowed myself to have a pint of Halo Top ice cream and will ended up wayyyyyyy under my daily MFP calorie goal! (The shrimp/couscous concoction that I had prepped the other night might have turned out to be an epic fail, but I’m new to actually cooking so I’ll keep trying.)

01/26 - 203.6 (6200 steps) 30 mins on bike (6.44 miles) Friday is family dinner night and we went to Benny’s Pizza (local favorite). I managed to stay in the green on my calories. Good day. Dog sitting over Saturday night for my cousin. Packed a couple meals and I’m all set.

01/27 DNW (9402 steps) Saturday is barn day. Spent 5 hours on the road traveling. I probably got a good 45 minutes of exercise riding Spark (the gelding that I’m leasing). It was COLD! I packed a meal for dinner here at my cousin’s house. I stayed with her 3 dogs overnight. Unfortunately, I gave into LNS since she had cheddar popcorn and frosted mini-wheats. No scale here at her house.

01/28 – 203.6 (3815) Sunday was a relaxing day. No exercise but I kept within my calorie goal, right up until I went to bed. I’m not usally one to really care about the ups and downs from day to day but, I’ll say it’s nice to have seen the same # since 1/25.

@quiltingjaine and @tiabirdie56 Thanks for the spaghetti squash ideas. When I make it, it is always the same: made with meat spaghetti sauce, and that is how I often zoodle so it's a bit redundant. I will try butter, herb & cheese and also yummy alfredo with the Heavy Whipping Cream. This gives me a couple of different recipes to switch back & forth from & I appreciate it very much. Variety makes me feel "special" lol. Like I have a personal chef at home. Ahhh... the delusions of grandeur. Anyway, I am going out of town shopping on Wednesday (oh those pesky travel carbs in the restaurants!) and I will be getting more of the squash. Now, I can't wait! Thanks again.

Love all the recipes!! I've become a recent zucchini convert myself lately, and been trying different ways. I like them with a little sesame oil, garlic and red pepper too.

@Winner_in_Life congrats on the non smoking!! I quit about 8 years ago after smoking 25 years too so I know how challenging it is in the beginning. Keep at it, you can do it!

01/23 181.9 This is getting to be too much. In 20 days I'm down 1 pound. There is a part of me that thought I'd skip this round. It's too depressing for me when I'm eating within calories and staying focused on exercise with no weight loss. I honestly had one bad calorie day on Sunday, every other day I have been within goal. I keep expecting a whoosh that isn't coming. I need to accept I'm here - not at 178 like I was for a few days. Old Kris tells me to give up and eat whatever I want and how much I want. Screw walking, screw the gym, forget the stupid C25K idea you're too old, fat, out of shape etc. I need to slap the crap out of Old Kris (OK), because that's what I've done every time. Keep me accountable people. I need this challenge.
01/24 181.9 Still here. I walked three freezing miles yesterday and fell on the stupid ice. I'm not walking today, my body is a little sore. I fell on ice twice this week, I think that's a sign. Plus they have temperature warnings for this afternoon, frost bite can set in within 15 minutes of exposure. A good sign to take the night off. My calories were low yesterday, didn't eat back my exercise calories but over on sodium. I guess that's why I'm stuck. On a positive note, have you guys tried the Green Giant Fresh bowls? I had the Teriyaki sauce with sesame seeds bowl last night with a chopped up chicken breast and it was delicious. Thank you again for the support yesterday. The picture below is from my walk yesterday. Stupid winter.
01/25 181.4 Down finally. No exercise, food within goal. It's so cold (overnight 3 degrees, -12 windchill) I couldn't even think about walking outside.
01/26 180.0 I posted this yesterday but somehow it didn’t save.
01/27 178.5 The whoosh that took 10 days??? Who knows who cares, I’m happy with it. Thanks again for the support. You people helped me get back here.
01/28 179.6 Here we go again. I wasn't high on sodium for once and I was under calories (not by a lot but still). I think it will be down tomorrow. As long as it's done by the end of the round. I was happy to be out on the trail yesterday. I got in three miles but even on Sunday was running late. Trying to get too much weekend into one day. Saturday was spent babysitting my 1 yr old niece and attending a friend's granddaughter's wheelchair basketball game. I thought the baby might enjoy the game, instead she spent the entire time watching two kids play in the stands beside us. Hahaha If anyone has the opportunity to go to one of these games, they're not high scoring but they are fun to watch. Our girl is 10 and a blocking fool. On man-to-man coverage she blocked her guy in the corner, I don't think he touched the ball once. Of course she did the same thing on offense so she didn't touch the ball either

My only experience with zucchini noodles was at Noodles & Company. I have tried the Zucchini Romensco, I love the flavor and the everything but it was very upsetting to my stomach. I thought maybe it's a one time deal so after a few months I tried it again - same thing. I get other things there and have never had a stomach issues but I'm kind of scared to try the noodles again. Have you guys had any negative bathroom experiences as a result of too many zucchini noodles? (sorry for the TMI topic) I have eaten zucchini in many ways with no issues before, just curious if it's me or the version Noodles & Company uses.

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!

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202
Next Goal - 170 I will get there, hopefully soon
Goal Weight July 2019 - 140

Round 65 - SW - 180.6 - EW - 179.0 Average weight over 10 Days - 180.0

Jan 23 - 179.0 - I feel good about round 65 and am ready to start round 66 with a positive attitude.
Jan 24 -178.6 - I am trying very hard to stay busy and not snack my days away. It is harder than it should be.
Jan 25 - 178.4 - I am running out of projects to stay busy. Today and tomorrow I have plans both days so that should help a bit. I’ll keep at it!
Jan 26 - 177.8 - I’m so happy to see this! I had been at 177 the couple days before Christmas and then blew it.
Jan 27 - no scale
Jan 28 - 179.6 - I’m sure this is a lot of water weight from way too much sodium Saturday evening. It always lingers for a couple days in my system.

@FarmerCarla I was binge watching My 600-lb Life this weekend. I had never seen it before and am amazed at the people who eat Willy Nilly and then tell the doctor that the diet (post surgery) is just not working. Not saying that’s what your cousin is doing but the surgery is only a tool. I know my BFF had sleeve done a few years ago. She lost about 90#. She started dating for the first time in over 40 years, met a fellow. They’ve been together for over 2 years but he makes homemade pasta and she has regained a tremendous amount of weight. It makes me sad.

I made chicken pot pie (single crust) last night - delish! but too much fat (butter, cream...). So I believe veggie soup is on the schedule tonight or tomorrow night! On the plus side, I've been back to weight training for about 3 weeks now and have increased the weights significantly, so am happy to see that I hadn't lost all previous progress on the strength front. Note to women losing weight - take care of your bones during the process! Talk to your doctor about checking Vit D level and your possible need for D and K and magnesium, and keep up weight-bearing exercise. My last DexaScan (bone density) showed significant bone density loss, probably due to significant weight loss the previous 3 years. We have to take care of our bodies as we reshape them.

Last night I made a big pot of minestrone and had that with bread I baked a couple days ago. So good! Off to the gym and planning to hunker down tomorrow - minus 20 wind chill expected. Aaack! Stay warm if you're also in the way of this!

01/25 - 139.2 - 1802
Yep, it's cold outside! Not as bad as predicted, though, so I'll go to the Y. Did I mention I'm a cold weather wimp after 8 years on the southern coast of NC? ;-) Anyway, I'm back on track food wise, finally, and have channeled my baking urge into whole-grain bread instead of cookies and cakes. Better for us and I'm not tempted between meals!

01/26 - 139.2 - 1796
Anyone else in the cold zones inclined to hibernate until March? I love early mornings Spring though Fall, but right now I struggle to get myself out of bed in the morning. My kitten makes sure I get up, though! >^..^< Have a great weekend, all.

I seem to have found equilibrium. I haven't averaged my calories the past couple of days, but my ave should be around 1750-1800 at the moment, and I'm getting away with that because I've increased my exercise. It will increase more when we get out of the deep freeze, but I'm fine with hanging out here for a little while. Speaking of cold, we're supposed to have wind chills of -50F!!!! on Wed., so I intend to stay home and write, paint, read, bake, & cook. Maybe even clean house a little. Anything to stay in! Stay warm and safe, all of you fellow arctic adventurers!
