Thx for responding. I still cant figure it out. Sorry Im electronically challenged. Can you please give a step by step?2 -
So, here's my info!
5'3", 61 yrs. old, heaviest all time weight 198 (can we just say 200-ish?) 40 years ago! Got to and stayed around 155, and I feel like I've been on a constant weight battle my whole life! Aug. 2016 I decided enough was enough and took MFP seriously -- and got to 122! I felt GREAT! I am determined to get back there. I know how great it feels to just be lighter.
Current goal: To actually complete one of these 10 days challenges!
02/02 133.7
02/03 133.5 -- a small improvement (ha!) but I will take it. Superbowl food coming up... oh no! Does anyone just else eat the top off of pizza? (smile!) I'm taking lots of good veggies, low cal guacamole Trader Joe makes a great one with yogurt), fresh fruit, and yes, brie... I just want to be 133.anything again tomorrow.
02/04 -- did not weigh in
02/05 -- 135.0 After no sugar yesterday, and a 75 minute poweryoga class last night, done in 95 degrees (so hot! Felt great btw) I weighed in this morning at 135. Imagine what yesterday would have been! UGH -- that Superbowl party did damage. I'm going to stay on this no sugar thing....that will be my challenge to myself this week. 133, I miss you (smile!)
02/06 133.7 -- Yay! Great relief!! I woke up feeling lighter, and knowing that it was going to be at least a pound down.... now I hope I'm heading to the 120's. I am on day three of no sugar... not as hard as I thought it would be (yet!) I'm eating eggs for breakfast, raw zucchini and veggies for snacks, and lots of greens with baked chicken or grilled fish for dinner, herbal tea (I'm on a Yogi Green Tea and Blueberry kick lately) and a glass of red wine (always!). Hope to get in a poweryoga hour tonight.
2/7 133.7 -- no change. BUT -- I'm six days in, and I'm still here! Only four more days to go, I'm still sugar free (except for the wine -- is there sugar in cabernet? ) and I'm feeling lighter. Skipped yoga tonight for a long walk with the dog. Had a mix of steamed broccoli and cauliflower tonight for dinner and it was delicious! Looking forward to weigh in tomorrow.
2/8 133.7 -- no change again -- and another day of no sugar.
2/9 133.7 -- YET AGAIN! This is getting hard now.... and yesterday, I totally had sugar -- FOUR of those little sea salt soiree dark chocolate bites from Ghiradelli -- but I'm back to no sugar today!
2/10 - 132.6 this morning. Keeping this short and sweet -- Yippee!
More importantly, I'm actually completing a 10 day challenge! This works! 11 -

02/01 140.8
02/02 141.4 night at the in laws and I tried to eat as little of what they dished out as possible (with success) but it was so high in calories and such little food, found myself starving. To make matters worse my man was hungry when we got home too and wanted Chinese food (we usually have Chinese once a year but some how managed to have it twice in the past week) I decided to order with him but only a steamed, veggie side platter. So although that is a NSV for me, as I am sure like many of you, its a weakness for me to order that food, smell it and see it without indulging, i am still sure it was salty, hence the small gain.
02/03 no weigh in. Last night was my little cousins bday party and I will be honest, I didn't attempt to stop myself or log my food. This particular cousins family serves delicious food and they bake the most amazing desserts (she is a professional baker) and I know when I go to parties she is catering, there is no way I am turning it down. It's high quality and expensive food and I would have really been missing out not eating what she doled out. I know I am not supposed to see food like that but it is only twice a year I get her delicious desserts so YOLO. We will see how that is reflected in tomorrow's weigh in, regardless of how good I have been today
02/04 143.2 between super bowl and my cousins birthday, i didn't stand a chance. I was fine for the majority of the day but as the night wore on, my temptation heightened. I gave in and ate nachos and some Reese peanut butter cups. I am going to need to start being more diligent on weekends again, they are beginning to become a struggle and lately are the reason for my up ticks. I don't think I have had a strict weekend since Christmas.
02/05 143.2 feeling bloated today. I worked out yesterday and restarted my insanity program, which usually jump starts my weight loss. Why I didn't loose, I don't know but I am assuming this weekend's salt and goodies did damage my progress more than I thought. I ate well, got in 1.6 liters of water and worked out good. I am hoping for a change tomorrow.
02/06 142.6
02/07 145
02/08 145.6
02/09 no weigh in
02/10 143.2 it has overall been a bad week, i am exercising but ever since Saturday I just haven't seemed to get my eating under control. I was good Monday and Tuesday but the rest of the week was a complete wash. I did this to myself and although I won't make my goal by the end of the round, I will still push on. I'm officially hitting the mental restart button. I mentally have been relaxing and being less concerned, which is probably why I think I can eat whatever I want without consequences. Well I realized I am wrong and although I do exercise a lot still, you can't outrun a bad diet.

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.

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!

The scale is so weird sometimes, by all accounts I should have had a big uptick after yesterday. We had a gala event with a big buffet dinner and lots of dessert. I skip the drinks and went just for club soda. I imagine I’ll see the swing up in the next day or two.10 -

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! 🧘♀️☑️

Round 65 SW 164.1 EW 162.3 (- 1.8)
Round 66 SW 162.6 EW 160.6 (- 2.0)
Goals for Round 67:
Reach the 158 number
Exercise 405 minutes during the challenge
Drink at least 64 oz of water a day
Walk 100,000 steps during the challenge
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

]02/02 - 328.8 - It was gain, but fluctuations happen.
02/03 - 327.4 - I'm happy with this. It's less than where I was a week ago.
02/04 - 327.2 - Woohoo. Inching down. Every little bit counts. I didn't do my strength training yesterday, but I did do an episode of Zombies, Run!
02/05 - 326.0 - Woot wasn’t expecting this big of a drop as I didn’t get as much exercise in as per usual. Looks like my body needed the day off.
02/06 - 325.8 - It's another tick in the right direction. I took a chance and put on a pair of a smaller pair of jeans than I have worn in awhile and they fit! I'm ecstatic! I didn't do either of my exercises yesterday. I did reach my step goal of 5,000. Today I have my pulmonary rehabilitation where I will get a workout in as well. It'll be a busy day.
02/07 - NO WEIGHT - I woke up with five minutes until I had to leave. So I woke up, dressed, didn't even stop to feed the cat on my way out. I went to pulmonary rehabilitation and worked my rear end off. I did treadmill, arm crank, NuStep, leg press and arm weights. I'm still walking during commercials now that I'm home. I have a longer walk to and from the bus due to the city doing something to the street right in front of the stop I usually use. I'm already well past my step goal.
02/08 - 323.6 - Woot! Did not expect this! I admit, I don't trust it yet. So, we will see what it says in the morning or two mornings. I did walk over 18,000 steps yesterday and stayed within my caloric goal. Today was a bit disappointing. I'm making positive changes, but for some reason my HDL has had dramatic drop. Hopefully it will recovering. But on the plus side of the day I walked from home to Transitions without needing to stop!
02/09 - 323.0 - I guess it's for real. Woot woot! It means I can likely fit into some of my older clothes that I lost the ability to wear over a year ago. I only walked over 8,000 steps yesterday, but still count it as a good day.
02/10 - 322.6 - Yahoo! I just feel so elated to see consistent drops. It’s not what I expected. Tomorrow I have a major weigh in with my dietitian. She has never seen me this small. I admit there are some nerves about it. Blessed be.

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.6 -
@joanreneepas -- Welcome! Just jump right in to the challenge! This is an awesome challenge for accountability and support!

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.

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!

My NSV for Friday. In yoga class, the teacher suggested we could do a headstand inversion if it was "available" to us. Quite to my surprise, when I got into position, my feet actually kicked up reasonably high. So, I tried again, and to my utter amazement found myself standing on my head! It felt so awesome! And I was pretty excited to learn how to do a headstand at 53!!7

Round 65 EW 151.3 (-3.7)
Round 66 EW 149.9 (-1.4)
02/02 149.7 yesterday was a good day. I'm nervous about tomorrow. I have two food centered event today, including a chocolate chip cookie bake off and a dumpling party. Lord, give me strength.
02/03 149.6 lesson for the day... When you don't get a lot of calories allotted for each day (1200), eating a cookie eats up like a quarter of your calories. That's insane. And leaves you feeling pretty hungry, since a cookie does not satiate. It was really hard not to over eat yesterday. I made it, and the scale obviously forgave me for the cookie bake off I attended, but really hard. What are people's strategies for making it through today? (those of you watching that sports thing going on).
02/04 150.4 eek. I ate at or pretty close to at my target calories, but salt got me and the two drinks I had when I've been dry for the part month. Super bowl partial sabotage. Actually, not that bad. I still feel good, and I did an hour of yoga this morning.
02/05 149.8 doing all the right things, so I'll have faith that, in the long run, I'll break though this little one pound yo yo thing.
02/06 149.8 sigh. It's not possible that I can be eating a maintenance amount of calories. I hope I break this plateau soon.
02/07 149.0 ¡por fin!
02/08 148.7 I had a really good day yesterday. Two workouts. Ate tons of protein. Some really nice conversations with friends. But, best of all, the better eating has improved my energy levels. I usual spend the afternoon exhausted and ready to fall asleep by four. That's not been happening recently.
02/09 148.3 So, scale is not reflective of the quality of my eating yesterday. I had a school even for which I baked/catered and did some new things, so I felt like I hat to try my new creations (orange cardamom chocolate chip muffins and Japanese milk bread cinnamon rolls). The sugar hit me hard in the afternoon and I ended up needing a nap around five. I tried to make up for it by going to jiu-jitsu this morning. On the plus side...
I logged everything and I still stayed within my calorie goals. Salad and a lot of chicken breast to balance all those simple carbs.
02/10 148.3 Ate fine, not great. Worked out really hard at jiu jitsu in the morning. So, so, so sore. If I ever come into money, I'm going to hire a live in massage therapist.

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!
