02/05 - Just a quick commitment tonight to say I will weigh in tomorrow morning and commit to the remainder of this round! I was going to wait til next round, but no better time than the present. I'll probably be up a bit from Superbowl indulgences amd stress eating thru my job searching. But gotta get back in the swing of things or it will just keep going up and ill keep making excuses!
02/06 - Wednesday - 180.8 - Whoops! I stress ate granola before bed last night too even after making this commitment. I've definitely been eating over maintenance more often than not so this is really not a surprise. What's important is that I keep pressing onward! I think I've made a choice on the job hunt. It has not been easy and will not get any easier for some time...but the busier I am, the more structure I add to my life, the more I can hone in a process and stick to it. I need to have confidence in myself and my choices and execute them! Glad to be back!
02/07 - Thursday - 178.8 - whoosh! Baby steps! I was working yesterday so my habits come a lot easier than when im at home. I'm home today but I'm off to a good start! Feeling incresibly busy despite workong part time. Adding as much structure to life as possible to keep me on track.
02/08 - Friday - 178.8 - Salad fot lunch before dress fitting. Then had to go to a wake and family went out for chinese after. Then we had friends over and ate again with them. Doh.
02/09 - Saturday - 179.6 - not surprising after yesterday's eating. Went to Ikea today and ate too many meatballs. Gotta get it together.

ROUND 67 (Round 13 for me)
5’5” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 135 lb.
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-66 = 38.4 lb.
I like you folks, and I really appreciate and enjoy your company. Besides, I’m not sure I can stay on track without you!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 139.8 I’m starting this round .2 lb. above yesterday’s weight, but I had a short night, so I’m grateful it wasn’t higher. One way or another, I’ll have to get in a walk tomorrow. For this evening, I’ll complete my pushups and sit-ups. My pushups are still wimpy, but I’ll get stronger.
02/03 139.8 Again. Oh, well, tomorrow could be worse. I walked over 6 miles today, and that usually stunts my loss for a day. I ate more than usual this evening, too, watching the football game with my Boston-area born husband. He was happy with the game. We ate some of his left-over ribs from our date yesterday, and I made keto sausage cheese balls/puffs. I feed him extra carbs (he had the rest of his sweet potato this evening), but he likes most of my keto foods. We didn’t have company, so I have a lot of the sausage cheese puffs left—I’ll have three or four with a boiled egg for a quick breakfast before I leave for work in the morning.
02/04 140.6
02/05 140.4
02/06 140.6 I got busy and fell behind! I did another 6+ mile walk with Thor today. I have a strong desire to get below 140 again before the round is over. I haven’t logged calories for the last 3 days (experimenting), but I may have to start again. I was supposed to do push-ups and sit-ups yesterday, but I received the second shingles vaccine, and my arm is very sore. I think I can do the sit-ups this evening, but I’m not sure about the push-ups. Our local “pizza paradise” has started making a gluten free/cauliflower crust pizza that we tried this evening. It was good, but I wouldn’t know how to log it if I was logging. I had ¼ of a 10” pizza, which shouldn’t be too bad. I liked it. My husband prefers the regular crust, but agreed he could eat this one again.
02/07 139.8 I’m glad to be back under 140, if only barely. Six of our card playing group played canasta most of the day and the husband of our hostess prepared a very tasty low-carb soup and salad lunch. I ate some of the sugar-free peach pie our hostess baked, even though peaches not being part of my eating plan. Despite the pain from my vaccination on Tuesday, I was able to complete my sit-ups and push-ups last night, which made me happy. I have a rash at the vaccination site, but my arm is less sore today.
02/08 140.2
02/09 139.8 Yesterday, I was up early, worked on tax returns for almost 12 hours, and returned home exhausted. Today, I was up early helping with the community pancake breakfast (I only ate eggs and sausage). I did my shopping and took a 2-hr. nap before taking a 3 mile walk. I feel much better this evening. I'm back where I started the round, with only two more days to show progress, so I'll see what happens.

@KLM4k I was worried about you when I saw the drastic 10 pound loss in 5 days. I see that's changed over the last couple of days. You probably need to look for a new scale. Keep up your good work!

FIRST ROUND (Newbie)
SW jan 2015 - 165 lb
SW jan 2019 - 147.4 lb
GW - 135 lb
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!

02/05 82.6kg still keeping it green and waiting for this to settle back down
02/06 82.2kg and a morning run. Feeling good!
02/08 82.6kg bouncing around but I'm still green so I'm sure it will settle soon

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 - 181.4lbs - Whoosh! I was back to being good yesterday and had a snow day with my daughter so we played in that loads and made her first snowmen and did snow Angel's etc, so I got some natural, fun exercise in
02/03 - 182.02lbs - not surprised. Had sisters 40th birthday party last night, so had quite a bit of alcohol. I clocked up over 16,000 steps with all the dancing, but it was very energetic, so I expect the calorie burn was good. Hopefully undo some of the calorie damage of the alcohol and I'll see a better number on the scale tomorrow morning once I've stopped retaining water.
02/04 - 183lbs
02/05 - 182.2lbs - having trouble posting. TOM.
02/06 - 181.8lbs - back on track and seeing the number fall
02/07 - 181lbs - still coming down, which is great started with another cold though. Not so great.
02/08 - 180lbs - wahoo. Really pleased with this. I guess my weight on Monday was mostly water weight as have had such a whoosh since then. Really want to get into the 170s by the end of this round! Fingers crossed. We're going out for a curry tomorrow night to celebrate DHs best friends 40th birthday (so many 40ths this year). Hopefully I don't do too much damage. I will be driving, so not drinking, so it'll just be the calorie dense food!
02/09 - 180lbs - just want my cold to go away now! Lol
02/10 - 181.6lbs - that'll be the curry from last night. Went out for DHs friends 40th. Good rest of the day, and no alcohol as felt rotten and I was driving. Still rotten today, but leaving to take DD swimming in a minute.

Round 66 ~|~ End Goal: < 165
01/01: 165.1: Goals ✅ Almost made it! Lol!

Round 67 ~|~ End goal: <164
02/02: 164.6: Goals Now why couldn't that have happened yesterday? Lol! Spent 4 hours walking round Belfast City with my daughters. Some offbeat food choices, but well under goal. Mostly water weight, I think.
03/02: 164.8: Goals ✅ Family visits today. Didn't over-indulge. Took it easy exercise wise.
04/02: 164.9: Goals ✅ I had meetings before/after lunch, but was able to fit in some exercise. Walked my steps up after dinner.
05/02: 164.8: Goals ✅ I had meeting in the morning and evening. Felt a bit bleaugh! In the afternoon and took it easy, then Will Power decided to desert me after dinner, and because I had spare calories, I ate a few snacks when I was out and before bed. It will have consequences, but the beauty of life is that we get a fresh start every single day.
06/02: 164.9: Goals: ✅ Planning to walk and go to the gym later. (I walked over an hour at the mall + some more later on the treadmill at gym, also did stationary bike and weights circuit.)
07/02: 164.9: Goals: I have a dance class this morning, and planning a arms session later. ✅All in all, a good day. Our daughter came for dinner, but she's doing Slimming World, so there were no temptations.
08/02: 164:8: Goals: ✅ *sigh* Plateaux are the pits! But they are a part of the process which we have to accept. This, too, shall pass! Noticed this morning that my muscle mass has increased from 27.2 to 27.4 which could explain this plateau. Had an busy day, but stayed up way too late.
09/02: 164.9: Goals: Gym session with my PT this afternoon. ✅ Also did a shedload more exercise for a challenge, so expecting a little rise as body retains water for muscle repair.
10/02: 165.0: Goals: Planning a rest day today after my exertions yesterday. NSV: I did measurements today and waist and underbust are both down an inch since I last measured in Nov. Legs/arms look more toned, but no reduction in size. So gym training seems to be paying off.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

02/04- 61.10
02/05- 61.30 - mindlessly ate ice cream last night. So heading for more increase...
02/06- 61.60 ....Thanks Ben and Jerry 🙄
02/07- 61.95 need to refocus!
02/08- 61.65 - all week I've over-eaten sugar. The table of temptation at work has been bursting with cakes and I've indulged! I think it has been made worse by not enough sleep! 4 days off now so time to get back on track before the end of this round.
02/09- 61.60 - no snacking in the evening but had lots during the day
02/10- 61.45 - slowly heading back to where I was last round. Resolution for next week - back to the running, weights & yoga. This week I just did step and netball.

Not weighed since since last Tuesday, so I could be lower - hopefully so

Day/Weight/Comment
02/02 Unable to weigh. Arrived back home this afternoon so I will weigh in again tomorrow morning.
02/03 11st 5.0lb Very happy with this...now to be careful as I have been invited out to my daughter's house for the day including lunch
02/04 11st 5.8lb Well, some weight put on. It was difficult to estimate the food I was given but I refused a pudding which was 333 calories! My son on law opened a bottle of champagne which only he and I had - he had bought it for us to share on New Year's day but as my daughter was not well, I didn't go there. I ended up drinking 3 glasses of that...fatal.
02/05 11st 5.6lb Ate just under mfp calories and none of my exercise calories which were higher than usual. Hopefully it's water retention which has kept my weight up - I had some crisps before bed. I treated myself as my net calories were quite low. Bad idea.
02/06 11st 6.2 Again - ate under my mfp calories and none of my exercise calories. No salty foods and ate nothing in the evening. My neighbour brought me round some flavoured water which had nil calories! However, I had a long session at the dentist having a root canal treatment and my face was swollen still in the evening, so maybe that contributed.
02/07 11st 5.4lb Finally going back down. Eating at 1200 only gives me a deficit of 200 from my maintenance level, so ignoring the first 300 exercise calories is the only way to get a 500 deficit, and I don't get that many exercise calories every day.
02/08 11st 5.4lb Happy to have stayed the same today - weighed this morning, only just found time to post it
02/09 11st 5.0lb Pleased to see I'm back to this weight after 6 days of fluctuations.

02/10 11st 5.0lb I'll take that, though it's time to drop lower. According to Libra, my trend is so slow I'll not reach my target weight until 2021!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/03 – 217.6 @ 6:00 am. Up over the past two days, but lost inches since last measuring so not worried yet.
02/04 – 217.2 @ 6:00 am. Boringest SuperBowl EVER made it easy to keep moving and stay within calories.
02/05 – DNW

02/07 – DNW

02/09 – 214.9 @ 6:30am – such a tease …. prayers its sticks.

02/10 – 215.2 @ 5:00am – did it to myself. Worked out more than an hour, but didn’t eat enough calories or drink enough water ON TOP of a carb heavy day of homefries and pringles yesterday!! Refuse to regret my choices, but crossing everything it drops again as the day progresses.

02/11 –

Good luck everyone!

Disappointed with the last round as didn't feel the scales accurately reflected my 10 days. Going to try and change up my diet a bit this round and try and get out walking a bit more (already do 10k+ steps a few days a week so going to try and achieve this every day) along with keeping up my weekly swim one day a week and twice weekly gym PT session. Here we go!!!!

Round Target - lose 1.50-2lb

02/01 - 149.90

02/02 - 149.00lb (-0.90lb) Yay - off to a good start. Was a good food day and also walked 13k steps yesterday too - more of the same then I guess

02/03 - DNW - 10,561 steps

02/04 - 150.40lb - AARRGH!!! Back up we go again. Hoping this is just the weekend taunting me....... Found this pretty easy last year, but not so far this year ? Not doing anything really that different (have gone back and looked over my food diaries - is it that "(peri)-menopause thing" that makes it so much harder ? May investigate this a bit more.....
Didn't have my fitbit on yesterday but was busy all day cleaning and doing housework (builder are still going!). Planned walk later for the school run and then another one later on too. Hoping to see a drop tomorrow

02/05 - 149.90 down 0.50lb today but back to this number AGAIN! Fourth time in two weeks I've seen this number and would love it to be the last! Did my planned walks yesterday (14K steps in total) - unlikely to be so many today but will get in what walking I can and I am also at the gym tonight for an hour. Food all planned for today, will aim to drink more water as been a bit lax on that front recently and hope tomorrow sees another drop - anything less that 149.90lb - please!!!

02/06 - 150.40lb - here AGAIN!!!! Beginning to think my scales may be stuck in some horrendous loop
8,020 steps yesterday plus a weights session at the gym so that was all good and so was my food (I thought). Decided last night to go back to one of my earlier food diaries when I was losing weight relatively easily and repeat it today and see what happens...... I refuse to give up though - 5 days left of this round to crack it! Also planning a walk later after work .....

02/07 - 149.50lb down 0.90lb - OK this is good, heading in the right direction and my scale didn't stop on 149.90 again! Did my 10,000 steps yesterday and my food was spot on. Food planned for the day and will also be at the gym tonight for an hour - I shall continue my quest .....

02/08 - 148.70lb down 0.80lb - ok this is better. 7500 steps yesterday plus a tough HiiT session at the gym. No change in calories consumed but was grabbing convenience foods like bars or shakes for breakfast rather than preparing something (lazy I know!). As a result eating less overall carbs and more protein? Could this be the answer or at least part of it......

02/09 - 147.60 down 1.1lb - ooohhhh exciting - and continued to stay away from the meal bars / snacks and had a high protein lower carb day (still had an apple, we had (wholemeal) wraps for dinner so still eating carbs). Got in my 9k steps so a good day. Off for a swim now Have a great weekend people

02/10 - 147.30 down 0.3lb - feel like I'm back in the groove now! Actually made progress this round although it is Sunday so roast day (all within calories and macros but just a big diner late in the day) - will try to minimise the carbs that I have (although still need a couple of roast potatoes obviously!) as hopefully finish this round well
