Just adding this so that it may help some.
To post - I go to my last post and hit quote at the bottom of my post. Then go to the bottom of the page. Your post will appear in the reply window. Remove the language in the parenthesis (and the parenthesis) before your post and at the end of the post.
You can now add to your original post without copying and pasting. When you are done, just hit post reply.
However, I do not use information from one challenge to the next so this might not work if you want to do that.2 -

02/02. 196.0
02/03. 194.8
02/04. 195.4. I admit I earned the gain. Regular calories, and then a few chicken wings andthen nachos and cheese. Darn super Bowl!
02/05. 194.2. 😊.happy. Kept to plan, both with calories and water. A new low!
02/06. 194.0. Stayed on plan, drank my water and tried a new dinner recipe which was a hit. So good day.
02/07. 193.0. I had to weigh twice to confirm weight. On target for food, a little short on water.
02/08. 194.0. Food good, water good, but had a two glasses of wine. Can’t believe it would make that much of a difference.
02/09. 194.2. Weekend bounce! I can do really well during, now must rein in on weekends however.
02/10. 193.4. Sunday dinner today. Really hoping I can maintain this weight.
02/11. 193.4. It seems I managed the weekend well, which I need to do for a successful weight loss. Onward and downward!8 -

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.
2/1 128.0
———
2/2 128.5 Yesterday I felt irritated-don’t know why. I wanted “something” but have no idea what. I was under on carbs and 2g below protein. I have my carbs set to 15g total and without having any idea about that or my eating, someone in a Keto FB group started counseling me on how to get my weight to “start dropping” again! It was strange. I think I’ve got this Keto thing down after 18.5 months and being minus 46#. Some people! It’s raining in Las Vegas again. Not much but it’s damp outside.
2/3 129.0. Weird day yesterday. We were hungry but nothing sounded good. Finally tried a new to us Chinese place. It was good and we have tons of leftovers! Picked up neighbors at the airport last night. Flight was due at 6PM but weather delays caused it to arrive at 10PM. They had traveled from The Gambia and been awake for 48 hours! Meeting friends at 1:30 for lunch as one of our group is flying in from Kentucky for work here this week.
2/4 129.5 Shared “shareable” meatballs (4 small meatballs aren’t very shareable) and a large Greek salad with DD at lunch yesterday. It was overpriced and under good!
2/5 128.5 Wind, wind, go away! Come again in another decade!
2/6 129.0 Went to lunch with BFF and another friend who is visiting from Denver. I had my first margarita in over a year! It was tasty, ordered beef tack salad with no beans and no rice - got a boatload of lettuce and that is fine. Ate the guacamole and sour cream and a small piece of the enormous bowl. Went to bed at 9PM and slept until 6 this morning! Forgot my BP pill yesterday but my BP this morning was 130/75 when I sat down. My Ketones are back up today. Life is good.
2/7 128.0 We went to Miller’s Ale House for lunch. It never occurred to me that “soy marinated salmon” would be loaded with sugar! My ketones are back down to zero. I was hungry most of the afternoon and evening, the result of sugar causing an insulin spike. Gave in to some pork rinds and guacamole in the evening which I tracked but no nutritional info available for that lunch! A clear sign, had I checked first, that I should not have ordered it! Going to meet some friends for crafting now.
2/8 127.5
2/9 128.5 Dinner at friends last night, no control over what was served. Pulled pork, baked beans, Cole slaw. Sugar, sugar, sugar! Not enough water. Valentine’s Day Community potluck tonight.
2/10 129.0 I’m not happy about this. Two days of not knowing how food is prepared or what choices there are going to be is stressing me out PLUS the stupid wind is whistling around the house again! I broke my fast yesterday afternoon around 3 by eating some of the pulled pork the neighbor sent home with us and could taste the sugar in it. Community dinner was at 5:30 so I didn’t want much. Mainly some roast beef and tossed salad. Didn’t even go in the dessert room but ate half a cookie with coffee after we got home.
2/11 129.0. We went to El Pollo Loco for lunch, I ate a churro. My Ketones are back up to a readable level.7 -
Yay! My first round is completed!

10 day goal - continue doing 30 days yoga with Adrienn (youtube), completing day 15 on 02/12.
02/02 - 143.2 Yesterday went great! And this morning I was delighted to find myself even closer to my goal. Tonight might be challenging as I have a date. But I chose the skating rink because then I'll be getting active and I don't have to eat anything there (although I might, but I'll be sure to log!) And this guy is in recovery so I won't be drinking around him either. I think this should be pretty fun overall.
02/03 - 143.2 As of this morning I met my mini goal of 7 days in a row of yoga. Yesterday was challenging with food because I snacked instead of having meals and by 5pm I only had 130 calories left for the day so I went hungry on my date. We didn't go skating because it was too crowded and instead saw a movie. When I got home at midnight famished I had my last 130 calories. But overall I am content because I enjoyed myself and didn't break my calorie goal.
02/04 - 144 Yesterday was another great day. I enjoyed spending time with my roommate and went out with my friend. He got a bottle of this super delicious Cab called 19 Crimes, so I ended up over my calorie goal because I drank a few glasses. And even though the scale reflects my lapse in rigidity I'm not sweating it because I had a great time and I completed day 8 of yoga this morning.
02/05 - 143.4 I think I'm doing a lot right. I hope I continue on in this way. I just ordered a fitbit flex 2 on Amazon this morning. It will be here on Thursday. I'm hoping the will encourage me to be more active, take more long walks. Yoga is still going well though!
02/06 - 141.8 I woke up super dihydrated this morning, so I'm guessing this huge jump is due to that as I didn't do anything special yesterday. Or it's some kind of delayed loss, which would be great! Or it's a combination of the two, which would also be great! Today is my day off so I'll be cleaning all day. Super excited to be up and moving so much! Haven't completed day 10 of yoga yet so that's on my aggenda after breakfast 🙂
02/07 - 142.6 So yesterday I did my yoga and made sure to drink plenty of water. I'm not surprised by this number. I take it as a win!
02/08 - 141.9 y'all I'm feeling great! I feel like a data scientist with my new fitbit. Studying my baseline movement and sleep. After a week studying my baseline (til the end of this round) I'll start implementing my movement routine. Then I will be able to compare my pre and post results! I'm excited y'all!
02/09 - NW. I am in San Francisco staying with a friend so no scale. I'm here for an event that happened last night that went amazing. I danced all night. I had so much energy and the benefits of my daily yoga practice really became evident. I felt loose as a goose, I could move my body how ever the music took me. I had to estimate all the food, but I did log. I'm hoping for a lower number tomorrow when I'm home. And I did do yoga today, so I'm 13 days in a row!
02/10 - 140.2 I am trying not to get too excited about this number, as I am fairly sure I'll be back up tomorrow. I ate under calories yesterday, because I was just so tired. So today I'll eat normal (my new normal) and we'll see what happens at tomorrow's check in. Completed two weeks of yoga every morning! 🧘♀️☑️
02/11 - 141 Super happy with this number! I'm excited to finish strong! Yesterday was pretty chill, just hung out with my roommate all day. Oh and I am LOVING my Fitbit. Oh and I got a gram scale that fits in my purse! No more guessing 😂

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 - 201 (2380 steps) I’m not gonna lie. I was a complete slug on Friday. We got 6 inches of snow and I didn’t go to work. I didn’t exercise. I was wayyyyyy over on my eating. It was more of an 80/20 day. Not a complete blow out. I just needed a break for a moment. Now I’m back on track!!!
02/03 - 199.9 (7331 steps) I rode Spark for 45 mins on Saturday at the barn. I avoided bagels and donuts brought by other clients. I didn’t binge when I got home. It was a good day but, I am sore!
02/04 - 201.3 (6074 steps) 31 mins on bike (6.84 miles) Just call me a yo-yo this past weekend. On Sunday I did really well until mid-afternoon and then I just wanted to eat!!! What the heck? So I did but, I know Monday is meal prep day after work and I can usually do sooo much better on weekdays. I can get over my weekend hump. No problem. I got this.
02/05 - 200.7 (5994 steps) 35 mins on the bike (7.52 miles) Yesterday was Meal Prep Monday. I got caught up on making food for the week. This week is pork chops and Fusia chicken fried rice (both from Aldi). Feeling in better control of my hunger.
02/06 - 200.2 (6421 steps) 41 mins on bike (8.54 miles) Tuesday was an okay day. Stressful at work but, that isn’t anything new. I work in a VERY hectic occupational medicine office and I am the only one who does what I do for 2 providers and all our workers comp patients. Ugh! Did a bit more meal prep. Not sure how far it will get me but, it’s better than not being prepared and eating like an idiot.
02/07 - 200.7 (6902 steps) 43 mins on bike (9.09 miles) Had dinner with my girlfriends at a sushi place. It was an 80/20 day and I am okay with that. As long as I don’t do that all the time, I should be okay. Got a call to dog sit this weekend for a family going out of town. Need to plan what to do for meals. That’s usually when I scavenge and lose all control.
02/08 – 198.8 (3405 steps) Thursday I got home after work with a terrible headache which probably would have evolved into a migraine. Think I have a bit of TMJ starting on the right side. I ate dinner, tried to catch up on JGM10D posts, but by 7:35pm, I just had to go to bed. I was done! Woke up to a nice # on the scale though! Onederland – here we are again.
02/09 - no scale/dog sitting (5837 steps) Friday was a decent day. Family went to Pizza Hit for dinner and I was still within my calories. I’m dog sitting next 2 nights. I did really well until closer to midnight. I just couldn’t stop myself from LNS! It wasn’t bad food. It was just too much food. Ugh!
02/10 - no scale/dog sitting (8129 steps) Saturday was barn day and we were working the mechanical cow. I rode Spark for 45 mins. I did really well until I got “home”. I binged the entire rest of the night and into Sunday as well. Weekends are the worst time for me and this was no different. I will probably be up this round but, I know I can take control back starting Monday and reel myself back in.
02/11 – 202.6 (2319 steps) Not exactly the way that I wanted to end this round, but it’s exactly how my Mondays are after a non-tracking weekend. I am due to go to the grocery store after work today so that I can get food for meal prep Monday and that should get me back down in a few days. No worries.
Bring on the next round! We've got this!8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
2/02 - 174.4 - 75g carbs, 73g net carbs. Carbs were: hamburger roll, oyster crackers, bok choy & mushroom soup
2/03 - 174.8 - 51g carbs, 47net carbs. Carbs were: bok choy mushroom soup, oyster crackers (If I'm going to eat crackers with soup, I need bigger ones, so that I eat less!)
2/04 - 176.4 - 28g carbs, 22g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, peanut butter, grapefruit, spinach. Pretty sure this weight is the crackers and bread from the weekend. Just before the cold snap, I came across a website with 25? low carb cracker recipes. I need to locate that link.
2/05 - 176 - 39g carbs, 33g net carbs. Carbs were: flour from fried chicken, salad, peanut butter.
2/06 - 176.6 - 26g carbs, 24g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, crackers (6)
2/07 - 177.2 - 35g carbs, 33g net carbs. Carbs were: dark chocolate truffles. Yeah. I was out all day and ate dinner past my eating window. I had a great 0g net carb day going.
2/08 - 177 - 63g carbs, 58g net carbs. Carbs were: crackers (12 left, 12 eaten) asparagus soup, flour on fried chicken, cauliflower.
2/09 - 174.8 - 20g carbs, 16g net carbs. Carbs were: spinach, arugula, raspberries, blackberries, queso frying cheese.
2/10 - 178.2 - Fluid. Ate peanut butter later in the evening. 68g carbs, 62g net carbs. Carbs were: Peanut butter, crackers (6), cashews, jalapenos.
2/11 - 175.2 - Ending this round with another fluid gain. Spent the day with my son, DIL and grands. My son wanted me to make another charcuterie board. So I made one for the adults and a small one for the children. Although its difficult to calculate calories for an eating day like that, I think I came pretty close at 1700+ calories. Probably a 2000 calorie day. I expect to be hungry earlier today since my protein intake was low yesterday. 103g carbs, 100g net carbs. I DO know the exact amount of carbs I ate. 😉 Carbs were: mini naan (1.5), crackers (10), goat cheese/cranberry cinnamon(2ozs), green grapes (1/3c), grape tomatoes(6), fruit spread (1-1/3Tb), riesling(8ozs), sweet red wine(4ozs), stuffed queen olives (2), hot peppers(6), tzatziki dip (2Tb), sweet gherkin (1)

02/02 204.6 saved my calories to go to Blaze pizza last night, it was sooooo disappointing, they don't have the same toppings, the service was awful....I hate when a meal is so not worth it!
02/03 204.6
02/04 203.8 Happy to be down. I think my body is adjusting to the changes I am making, and I need to switch things up. Not sure how I will do that yet, but thinking about it. Have good week everyone!
02/05 203.2 Lots of protein and water yesterday. Made it to kickboxing too.
02/06 203.2 I am not going to lie, I was a bit disappointed. I confess sometimes I weigh myself before bed, and see if I anticipate a lower number in the am.... I did, and it didn't pan out
That ok, not a gain... I will take it!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 160.8 Didn’t get much sleep yesterday since we had major wind storms and the dog was not having it! I am hoping to rest up a bit this afternoon. I have a basic strength class later today, and then going out to dinner with friends before we go to a ballet performance.
Steps 6974, 70 minutes of exercise, 66 oz of water
02/03 160.5 Had a wonderful night last night, but whenever I take an afternoon nap I find it so difficult to fall asleep. I managed to have 5 hours of tossing and turning sleep, so just going to try to stay awake all day so can sleep throughout the night.
Steps 8694, 45 minutes of exercise, 46 oz of water
02/04 159.8 I drank and ate more than I should have yesterday so will be limiting alcohol to 1-2 drinks this coming week and will be strict on meal planning to not lose my progress so far. Having said that, it was nice not worrying about tracking everything once in a while!
Steps 1990, 0 minutes of exercise, 73 oz of water.
02/05 161.0 Expected this number with how I ate on Sunday and how busy yesterday was at work. I wasn't able to get to the gym or leave the office much. Hopefully today will be less busy and will be back down by the end of the week.
Steps 10,082, 45 minutes of exercise, 80 oz of water
02/06 159.7 Hoping I can continue going down through the end of the challenge. I was able to just get to steps goal yesterday and met water and exercise goals
Steps 14,411 25 minutes of exercise, 64 oz of water.
02/07 158.8 I think this might be a fluke, but I am still excited to see 158! Have a girls night tonight, but will limit to two glasses of wine. I need to make up 7,982 steps by Monday, and 220 minutes of exercise. I think I will be able to do that still so pretty encouraged still with five days left of challenge.
Steps 6523, 45 minutes of exercise, 74 oz of water
02/08 158.1, still bracing myself on the number since my happy scale moving average is 158.8, but love seeing it since it motivates me to be good this weekend.
Steps 20,770, 70 minutes of exercise, 64 oz of water
02/09 158.6, I had a good day yesterday and hoping to keep that into the weekend. I am having dinner with a friend in town for the weekend tonight. I looked at the menu in advance so I’m set for good decisions (hopefully!)
Steps 11,048, 65 minutes of exercise, 71 oz of water
02/10 158.3, yesterday night was great but I did indulge in three glasses of wine and eggplant pasta. It was my only large meal of the night so I think I was within calories or not much over (took home 1/2 of the meal). Either way, this restaurant was so worth the splurge! Hoping to keep seeing a 158.x number as I end the round tomorrow
9894 steps, 35 minutes of exercise, 32 oz of water
02/11 158.4 goals for today is to be a little over 10,000 steps to get to 100,000 which is doable and workout at least five minutes to get to 405 minutes so three of my four goals were met. Will try again next round with the water intake.

Goal: Run 3x per week and weightlift 3x per week
Day/Weight/Comment
02/02--214.9 Completed W3D3 yesterday of C25k. I didn't want to go out for the run because it was raining, but on my way home I saw someone out running and thought if she can do it so can I, so I got home, got the dog and went out for the run. In the end it wasn't raining that hard and the dog really enjoyed it too.
02/03--215.3 Went to the gym this morning and did some weightlifting.
02/04--215.3 Was feeling heavy when I woke up this morning, first time since I started my elimination diet. I'm guessing that it's the gf waffles that I ate 2 days in a row that caused some food sensitivity issues. They were good, but I'm glad they are finished. I was supposed to start W4 of c25k, but it snowed today, which is very rare for the PNW, and the roads are icy and aren't plowed so I couldn't go running today. Then my gym closed early, so I wasn't able to run. If roads are still an issue tomorrow plan is to go to gym early and get my workout done.
02/05--214.0 Heavy feeling is gone this morning, feel much better. Roads and streets are still icy today, but it is sunny, so it's melting a little. Plan is to get out this afternoon to go out for a run with the dog once it warms up a little more.
02/06--212.5 Had to weigh myself twice to make sure. Went out for run yesterday and finished w4d1. The running path had some patches of icy snow on it that caused me at times to walk more than I ran, but it was a beautiful sunny chilly day for a run.
02/07--212.7 I think some of this whoosh is because I've only gone to the gym once this week to weightlift instead of my regular 3x, so I'm probably not retaining as much water. The weather is getting better today, but we are up for more snow starting tomorrow afternoon and for the next couple of days. I will just stick with my plan and go running tonight and not beat myself up about the fact that I've only weightlifted once this week. I'll just wait and see how the roads hold up over the next few days and get to the gym when I can.
02/08--213.1 w4d2 of C25k done. Another round of snow started today. Gym closed early so couldn't go.
02/09--211.8 Surprised about the number on the scale because yesterday was such a messed up day. I had to leave work early because of the impending snow storm, so I was rushed to get some things done at work before I left. Then I had to do some errands before the snow and I ended up not having "lunch" until 3:30, barely drank any water all day, and had a horrible sleep. So, if the scale goes up tomorrow or the following day I won't be surprised. Regardless of yesterday today is a perfect winter day today, so even though my gym is open today I am tempted to go outside for a run in the snow today.
02/10--212.9 W4D3 of c25k done yesterday. Ran outside yesterday in the snow. Most of the run was done in 6" of untouched snow which was much harder than I thought it would be...my legs are really sore today. Just going to relax today.
02/11--212.9 Well, my plan to just relax yesterday went out the door. Last week I had been e-mailing a trainer at a weightlifting gym to get more information and yesterday I scheduled to meet with him this evening for a consultation. As I was huddled up under the covers yesterday morning he texted me and wanted to know if I wanted instead to meet him that day since he had some cancellations due to the weather. I thought that I might as well go so I threw off the covers changed into my gym clothes and was out of the house within 20 minutes to meet up with him. We went through some exercises for him to assess my flexibility and body mechanical issues and we talked a lot about his training philosophy. I ended up spending 1 1/2 hours with him. He asked me if I was interested in getting into powerlifting competitions, now that is not something I every really thought about, but when he brought it up I was very interested. For now the plan is to train with him 2x a week and then he will provide me with a program for the third day for me to do at my gym. I'll start working with him later this week. We are in for a snow/rain mix later today, so plan is to go out for a run before the weather gets too messy.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 ….. 186.9 ….. Same as yesterday on the scale. I ate back my 222 calories from exercise. Over on the carbs, but not too bad. I kept my bun on my hamburger because I was so hungry. I should have planned differently. I burned 2437 calories overall. 11,640 total steps & 5.12 miles overall. 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 6 hours 26 minutes which is great for me. No dancing (frown) but I did take a brisk walk indoors at the school for 34 minutes
02/03 ….. 186.9….. Drats! The same, but it’s my own fault. I am certainly eating my emotions. Still dancing, eating back some of my calories with the dance but still staying under . However, it doesn’t work that way with carbs, so I’m getting nowhere. I’ve got to pull my emotions together here! STOP LEANING ON FOOD FOR EVERYTHING! I am just thankful there was not a gain. 1353 Total Calories. 75 Net Carbs of mostly junk. Burned 2557 total calories. 14,807 steps & 6.27 miles all of which are helping me to at least maintain. 13/13 fitbit stephours. 4 hours 16 minutes of sleep. IF 16:8. I danced for 71 minutes burning 434 calories. Calorie burn does depend on the songs I choose. Sample song was “Got it Wrong” by the Wildfeathers.
02/04 …..186.9….. My stats: 1668 Total Calories. 81 Net Carbs. 44 minutes of stripping beds burned a whopping 48 calories according to my fitbit activity marker. 10,460 total steps & 4.43 miles. 13/13 fitbit stephours. 5 hours & 14 minutes of sleep. IF 16:8.
02/05 ….. 186.7 …..Great strong day yesterday in my eating plan. 1305 Total Calories & 11 Net Carbs. 2374 Calories Out. 12,388 Total Steps & 5.24 Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 fitbit stephours. 5 hours & 3 minutes of sleep. I danced 29 minutes. Sample song (which was perfect beat for dancing) was “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder.
02/06 ….. 186.7….. It’s stubborn but so am I. I feel like I’m in a stare contest. I am not going to blink today. Not today! One day at a time, right? My Stats for yesterday after going out with a friend for Mexican Food lunch: 1358 Total Calories In. 38 Net Carbs In. 2189 Calories Out. 10,123 steps & 4.45 total miles. IF: 16:8. No sleeping record because I charged my fitbit during sleep. I danced 36 minutes and one of my songs was “Gimme One Reason” by Tracy Chapman. It is a little slower & sexy/sultry and makes the perfect 1st start-up song or final cool down song. It really makes you feel like you’ve got your slim on.
02/07 ….. 186.5 ….. Dripping off like water on the icecicles, but it’s in the right direction! My stats for yesterday: Very low calories in because of workload that caused me to starting eating so late in my IF eating window: 775 Calories In. 2260 Calories Out. 27 Net Carbs which were mostly from my Zoodles in Marinara. 12,351 Total Steps & 5.23 total Miles. IF with a late start so it was more like 20:4. I slept a fantastic 6 hours & 40 minutes. I danced 77 minutes total which was broken into a couple of sets. Sometimes I do them in sets because when they are shorter I can do heavier & faster beats. Sometimes longer sets to fit them in when something is coming up & I need to just get a good set in. My sample song was “Lido Shuffle” by Boz Scaggs
02/08 ….. 186.9 …..Up a blip from pool hall & potluck. No worries. Too hard to calculate calories & carbs but I know they were higher than my normal plan. My other stats: Over 2000 calories likely. Over 200 carbs is probable. Net carbs unsure. 2240 Calories Out. 10,120 total Steps & 4.3 Total Miles. IF 16:8 Slept 4 hours 33 minutes. 11/13 step hours. Danced 35 minutes before leaving for the event. Sample song: “Jealous” by Nick Jonas, only because I am Sexy Beautiful and so are you!
02/09 …..186.9 ….. A well planned day which did not yet show up on the scale. My Stats: 1015 Calories In. 2211 Calories Out. Net Carbs 27. 11,117 Total Steps & 4.78 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. IF: 20:4 I slept 3 hours 24 minutes but I’m feeling energized and okay (for now). I danced for 1 hour yesterday. Sample song “Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics. I tried the natural peanut butter made by smuckers. The only ingredients is Peanuts & salt. I’m just used to a little sweeter peanut butter, not too much, just enough to satisfy both my salty & my sweet cravings when I just don’t know what I want. I put in a small dish & added about 1/8 tsp of powdered Stevia to 2 TBSP of the peanut butter & mixed well. It came out just right for me. I have the drops too but I save those for my travels for my tea in restaurants. Also, I did not want my PB to get runny. It was delish & helped to up my protein intake for the day. My carbs for the day were zucchini zoodles & the PB for the most part. I was strong & I love that! Terrible weather & bad roads continue in our area. Since week before last the kids have only went to school for one day. Because it is such a rural area with far apart houses, bus stops are impossible & each child is picked up in their own driveway. Most back roads are dirt roads, very icy causing the closings. Huge fire in our community yesterday that affected two families who lost everything but thankfully are okay & were able to save their dogs. Both families came to my cabins to stay last night. One family has left today to stay with family/friends. The other family will continue to stay here until they can sort things out & make a plan. Total loss of their apartments. Lost all belongings, but thankfully they are okay. My sister is home and being cared for by her daughter at this point. I am trying to plan a trip from Northern Michigan to middle Tennessee to see her but I cannot travel alone & I must have coverage here at my home & cabins. I’m trying to work it all out with my family. Hopefully I can go soon. Enjoy your Saturday everyone!
02/10 ….. 186.7 ….. Up & down like a bouncing ball, but everything I’m doing works, so I will keep at it. Down 0.2 today so it’s a good day. My Stats: 924 Calories In- 2317 Calories Out. Net Carbs 10 which was mainly zucchini & cream cheese (zucchini boats). 10,690 Total Steps & 4.6 Total Miles. IF 16:8 and completed 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 3 hours 34 minutes. I wish I could get more sleep but that’s all my body seems to need. I danced for 53 minutes. My sample song “Stay” by Jackson Browne (live, but without the loadout prelude because it’s too slow & Alexa won’t give the long version anyway). Nice smooth sailing song, but not a peak song. More warm-up or cool-down but with the vibe & beat that works. Have a great Sunday everyone!
02/11 ….. 186.7 …..Pizza night (which we haven’t had in a very long time) and a movie. Very little water so I will try to compensate today. Lots of steps because of my work on Sundays in the cabins. Scale will likely float up in the next few days because of the pizza but I will work hard & combat it every day to keep it in check. Yesterdays stats: OMAD on the Pizza 1100 Calories In, 2796 Calories Out, 88 Net Carbs. 17,517 Steps including a planned walk & a dance session, 7.42 miles Total for the day. IF 16:8 & completed 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 11 minutes and I feel tired today. My planned walk was 58 minutes at moderate pace. My dance set was 29 minutes. Sample song “Rich Girl” by Hall & Oates. Patty Hearst where are you? I’ll have to google her. Anyway, I ended the round a touch down. Not the progress I’d hoped to make. My NSV continues to be that I’ve found a way (through dancing) to incorporate some extra movement in during these slippery wintery days. Great job to everyone who accomplished their round goals. I have been witnessing some AMAZING things with you all. See you next round!

About me: 62, 5'7", hit maintenance in March 2018 and, typical yoyo, currently bouncing back up over original goal weight of 130. Want to get back to 127-128.
Crept back to JGM10D quietly and somewhat inconsistently in Round 60 but now I am back (for reals!)
2/2 - 132.8 - yesterday just under maintenance calories, 7500 steps.
2/3 - 132.8 - yesterday under my calories for modest loss goal (1/2 lb a week), 7700 steps.
2/4 - 133.8 - overate yesterday, got too hungry then had trouble STOPPING when I ate, then the day was kindof out the window. About 250 cals over maintenance. 7000 steps. Woke up at 3 this morning and didn't sleep much after that, I am trying to tell myself I can be really productive at work today anyway ... Right?
2/5 - 133.2 - yesterday under calories, 6000 steps. Slept well.
2/6 - 132.8 - yesterday over calories, 5000 steps, but another grand night of sleep. In desperation I might have revisited melatonin, which I used to say I hated. Tonight is the acid test - I never but never get three good nights of sleep in a row. We will see.
2/7 - 133.6 - yesterday over calories, only 4000 steps, and so busy at the job I barely moved. Today I will take walking breaks. Slept very acceptably last night, so maybe I am really onto something with the melatonin.... we shall see.
2/8 - 133.6
2/9 - 134.8
2/10 - 135.8
2/11 -135.4 - okay, sedentary days and not logging and a weekend with indiscriminate treat food really cost me. Back at day one of logging, that's kind of nice. ON TO THE NEXT ROUND!

27th Round for me: Female 65, height 5’
Goal this round: To get out of the 160’s or at least consistently not above 160. Right now even ½ lb. per round would seem great. This is the same goal as last round. Was feeling discouraged until I looked at a year ago and realized that I’m only down 4 lb. but I have established a “new normal.” I’m at the upper range of that the beginning of this round. Before starting at the gym and then joining this group, I was gaining about 5 lb. a year. So all my changes have me close to the 150’s instead of into the 170’s.
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. (Not sure if this is possible for me but even well down in the 150’s would be better than where I am at now.)Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, -.2Round 67 – 162.8

Popped up a lb. at the beginning of last round and ended up in the same place. Not sure why the beginning of a round there is often a jump. Anyway, I use the last day of the last round as my start weight.
Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 – 162.4 – Gym yesterday, nice to get in a good workout. It’s a year since I started at the gym and even with 2-3 times a week has made a huge difference in how I feel and, I think, look. Planning to take measurements later today.
02/03 – 163 – Have been unusually good about the cals., so was expecting to go down.
02/04 – 162.8 – A little LNS last night but managed to stop at a couple of cookies. Off to the gym today.
02/05 – 162.6 – Good workout yesterday. Will try out the treadmill, that we have been “storing” for our daughter for years, at home today. Hubby uses it regularly. I tried one at the gym when I first went but couldn’t seem to get the rhythm. I prefer walking outside but it’s icy and we have very steep streets.
02/06 – 162.8 – Well, didn’t do the treadmill yesterday – worked on my knitting project and took a nap. Amazing how your mind completely forgets the things you don’t really want to do. Off to the gym today.
02/07 – 162.6
02/08 – 162.2 – No gym today. No school today (likely a ProD day for the teachers to make the family day weekend longer) so that means the gym will likely be crazy with teens and DH needed the car. Good motivation to do that treadmill so I don’t go back up. Inspired by my sis-in-law who has lost 63 lbs. this year. She is much heavier than I but has been overweight all her life so has bigger lifestyle/mindset changes to make than I do.
02/09 – 163 – Still did not manage the treadmill. Always have trouble getting started on something new – it’s like I have to circle around it a few times, like a dog getting ready to lie down. Ate very well so I think that the blip up is too much salt and fat from last night’s supper. I used to have extreme gall bladder issues, now not bad, so too much fat makes me bloated, draggy, headachey the next day.
02/10 – 162.6
02/11 – 162.6 – Stomach feeling off the last couple of days, so debating whether I should go to the gym.

Round 67 SW: 216
02/02—215.8—This was a very late weigh-in.
02/03—215.2—Also a later weigh-in than normal. Did a ton of exercising yesterday and was basically a single meal all day at a great Mexican restaurant.
02/04—216—Early weigh-in. Had a good eating day. Did another round of my push ups challenge. I'm a little achy today in my shoulders and my head. Bleh. My head feels like a sinus issue. BLEH! Oh, I'm complainy!
02/05—215.6—I was half expecting a gain despite being within calories. Lots of different weigh-in times this round so it's harder to discern a pattern. Tonight, I'm hoping to try another push ups test to see if I can do 45!
02/06—216—I feel like a hovercraft hovering over this number! I didn't do the push ups last night. I felt an all-over ache that just made me think I needed to get some more rest. Tonight's the night!
02/07—214.4—I DID 46 PUSH UPS IN A ROW LAST NIGHT. Of course, my reward is that now I have to do a harder workout...
This was an early weigh-in so I'm very pleased at the number on the scale. Got a lot of exercise yesterday between cardio and strength. Plank jump-ins are rather evil.
02/08—213.8—Early weigh-in. Got a lot of walking in. No other exercise. Ate well, too. I'm in a good place!
02/09—213—30 minutes later than yesterday's weigh-in, so I feel good about this number. Got lots of exercise yesterday. Today will be high in exercise minutes of all sorts!
02/10—213.4—I'm a bit sore from a day with a ton of exercise. I also ate back nearly all of my calories and had more treats than normal, so I'm not shocked in the slightest to see a bump up. Today will also have a lot of exercise, but not as many treats are planned!
02/11—214—Tons of exercise yesterday and I'm sore today. I was under calories and didn't eat poorly, so I think this is retained water in my muscles. Today, we're going out to eat and to a hockey game, so I'll likely have a big bump up tomorrow (especially after popcorn)!9 -

Female, 5' 4 1/2 " age 53
This is my fourteenth round (following my lucky thirteenth in which I finally showed my January loss!) I set some mini-goals for another challenge. My prospects had been looking pretty bleak, but I did actually see January's goal of 149 on 1/30, even though I ended the 10 days at 151. I would love to get to 148 this round...but would be happy at 149 as well! We can do it! Stay strong everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 - 150 -- Looking to see that elusive 149 again, but this is in the right direction! Yesterday I walked, did strength class and yoga. Then I donated blood and ate some carbs, but not too many! Hoping to continue last 10 days good trend and get back on track for my mini-goals. Although I realized I might have to revise them anyway as I somehow planned on keeping up a pound a week loss right up to goal weight. It might make more sense to aim for 1/2 pound a week as I move from 145 to 135!
02/03 - 149 !! Ok. Second time with the 149! I'm going to say January mini-goal achieved!
02/04 - 151 -- Ate a few carbs yesterday, but mostly did pretty well and no alchohol, so I'm a bit miffed at this number!
02/05 - 151-- Felt crazy yesterday. I'm blaming hormones. Tried not to eat everything in sight. I wasn't hungry...really....just wanted sweets desperately. Still stayed within calories and didn't do badly on carbs either. Really wanting to be in the 140's!
02/06 - 152 -- I was still a little cranky yesterday. And hungry. Ate well, exercised well, lots of steps. I'm definitely retaining a bit of water. Drank a TON today (of water!) and hoping that helps tomorrows numbers!
02/07 - 151 -- Still retaining water.
02/08 - 151 -- Aggravating. But ok as long as there is some drop in 3 days. TWO NSV's. 1. Inspired by @puttyputty I started a pushup challenge. Two weeks ago I could do 20 full (modified) pushups on the arm of the couch. Yesterday I did 20. I will continue with the challenge but go down 8 inches, from the arm of the couch to the side of the tub. My goal is to make it down to the floor in 8-10 weeks! 2.) Did a headstand in yoga today for the first time! Feeling happy.
02/09 - 150 -- Didn't get around to posting yesterday!
02/10 - 149.5 -- Right. Because yesterday was the first day in months that I did NOT walk 12,000 steps. First day in a month with no exercise, AND had a beer at lunch, AND ate several chocolate chip blondies. Hope it stays, but might jump up again tomorrow.
02/11 - 149.5/150 -- The scale couldn't decide. It irritated me that after going the bathroom a second time, it went UP! I guess I'll say 150 and take a 1 pound loss for the round, and maybe get a bonus next round. I was hoping I finally broke through my January doldrums, but Thursday I leave for a trip to Manhatten with my son's theater class. We will be eating out for 6 days....Luckily low carb is more fun than low calorie when eating out! And maybe I'll get some good steps in!

02/02: 206.2. Went out for breakfast and didn’t over eat (yay), but ended up eating too much sugar today. But only went over my calorie goal by 50. So not horrible but must make better choices.
02/03: 206.2 Had a slice of high calorie pizza, but I did keep it to one slice. Just made sure to stay close to calorie goal.
02/04: 205.9 Planning all meals today ahead of time to keep me on track. Working from home today so this should be easier.
02/05: 205.3. Planning meals ahead again. Ended up with a UTI which has kind of derailed me today. Ugh! Go to doctor tomorrow.
02/06: 205.8 UTI has me feeling sick. Struggled to eat enough calories which is definitely not like me! Get medicine from doctor and hope to feel better soon.
02/07: 205.3 Really struggling with not feeling well. Keeping up my healthy eating.
02/08: 205.5 Feeling a little run down from being sick but I’m hanging in there.
02/09: 204.8. Feeling better. Planning meals ahead of time is helping.
02/10: 205.4 Had a sugary treat yesterday but I’m back to my healthy WOE today more determined then ever.
02/11: 204.8 Feeling good about my food choices. Keeping steady.

@MadisonMolly2017 I had no idea I would see the 120’s again! I didn’t think it was possible but here I am! My husband has said I should stop losing and even though I would love to get to that 1986 goal of 126, I am lower than when we got married almost 49 years ago. Right now I’m concentrating on not regaining.
@quiltingjaine Me too. I thought I’d be stopping at 169. Never thought I’d be about to dip into140’s. I’m also concentrating on keeping eating clean, exercising to build muscle, & pursuing my hobbies/interests.

Good day yesterday, but it will take a few days to level out after a week of indulging. Have a good weekend!

On track yesterday, but oh, those time lags. Weather was gorgeous and I went for a long walk outdoors - yay! Going to be nice the next couple of days, too. I always think "day by day" through February. Enjoy your day!

I'm enjoying this warmer weather we're having - more today, although rain expected this afternoon. So I'm off for a walk outdoors and then my weight training. Have a lovely!

Sigh. But it's ok, I know why (duh - too many calories) and I'm working my way back down to a suitable level. I also slacked off on tracking the past few days so my 10day average is an estimate and I have a feeling it may be low. I've promised myself to get back to fastidious tracking. Off to the gym in a bit.

Yesterday was a good calorie day with good macros.

Ok, some of that is water as I had some salty snacks last night. I just got back from a trainer session at the Y and added 4 more machines to my workout routine. Yeah, muscles!

WHAAA??? OK, that's it. I'm awake. Exercise obviously isn't making up for increased calories, so back to basics for real. I know, I keep saying that... And obviously some of the uptick has to be water since we can't add fat that quickly, but still... I allowed myself 8 lbs over the holidays, and they are long gone and I'm up 10, so I have had a serious talk with myself and am grounded until I get back to 135 and then start down to my ultimate goal. Jeesh. (at least my clothes still fit!)

Going the wrong direction. Everything was fine yesterday until the cheese sampler at an event I went to last night. Great cheeses from around the world. I couldn't not... But I did exercise, mostly weights yesterday, and I'm planning a good hour of "hill walking" on the treadmill in a little while. And less food. Really. And gallons of water to counter all the sodium the past couple of days.

Okay, that's a little better. I had hoped to end this round lower than I started it, but....next round! Have a lovely Sunday, all.

Not where I wanted to be, but that's fine and at least I know why. Onward!

One of the reasons I love this 10 day challenge is I understand from one Friday to the next why I'm a little high where as when I was just weighing once a week I wasn't as mindful of it. I would get super upset that I was up, when I knew I shouldn't be due to calories. This challenge has made me more aware of how sodium (and hormones) would crush me and now I recognize that it's just chemistry/biology doing their thing.8
