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!

Hi! I know it's a few days in, but hope it's ok if I join. I'm coming back to myfitnesspal after a hiatus and I've found it really helps keep me on track with logging my food if I have something to be accountable to (a group of friends and I were using a sticker chart for a while, like kindergartners lol)

SW: 210.8
GW: 140ish

R64: 207.8-200.8 (-7.0lbs)
R65: 200.8–200.6 (-0.2lbs)
R66: 200.6-194.8 (-6.0lbs )
R67: I was a drop out 🙈
R68: 193.6 -


Round 68 goals:
📉 Get to 191.8lbs or under, which is “overweight” BMI for me, instead of my current “obese class I”
💧100+ ounces of water daily
🥣 Stay around my 1200 calorie limit days I am home, and at least under maintenance while I am away
🤸🏼‍♂️ 1hr dedicated exercise every day I am home
🧘🏼‍♀️ Meditate 10 mins everyday
🥂 Limited alcohol
🔥 3k daily calorie burn according to Fitbit
👣 15k+ steps a day

R67: SW 193.6 GW 191.8

2/12: 19x.x - Didn’t weigh today. Missed you all! Dropped off at the end of last round. Was out of town and flights were cancelled coming home. Back again - ready to get back to my health routine. Hope I didn’t gain too much while away - I made healthy food choices, and didn’t have more than 2 drinks a day, but didn’t track at all!

2/13: 19x.x - Forgot to weigh again 😩 Still stuck in the snow. Not meeting my goals. I am getting back to it tomorrow! Gah! Scared to step back on the scale.

2/14: 193.6 - Phew! Was so nervous about weighing after the last week. It could be worse, and I know I am retaining a lot of water right now from TOM. Maybe I actually lost weight on my trip 😱.

2/15: 191.2 - Happy dance! I am now in the “overweight” BMI and not “obese class 1.” Kids go back to school today, husband comes home from work trip, gym here I come!

2/16: 190.6 - I have now lost 20lbs. Only 50 (+/-5) to go! I keep a list of different types of milestones and it’s really motivating to cross them off as I go. Crossing 2 off 2 days in a row feels unreal.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/12--212.7 Tried to go out for a run yesterday, but heavy wet snow started before I could get out. Raining today, so may try again later.
02/13--212.9 Haven't run since Saturday, ugh!
02/14--212.3 First weight training session with my trainer is this evening. My trainer has already sent me what we would be doing this evening and I noticed that there are a lot of exercises and while most of the exercises are familiar to me, there are some exercise I have never heard of. Weather is starting to warm up a little and the snow/ice is starting to melt, so hopefully I can get out running some time this weekend.
02/15--212.5 I had my first training session yesterday and it was great. Having a trainer is a kind of weird experience because you have this person constantly watching you to make sure you have proper form. After just the first session I realize that my form on some exercises is not as great as I thought it was and I can be pretty lazy, there were some exercises that we did that I knew if he wasn't there I would not have done that many reps. At the same time the training session also made me realize that if I just push myself a little I can do a lot of things that I thought I couldn't do. I was thinking of going for a run today, but I think I will take the extra time off to recover from yesterday.
02/16--213.1 I'm not surprised about the increase on the scale since I am probably still retaining water from my weight training from 2 days ago, but my weight trend is still downward. Going for a run today.

About me: 62, 5'7", hit maintenance in March 2018 but, typical yoyo, currently bouncing way over original goal weight of 130.
GOALS THIS ROUND (reporting on all the "yesterdays":

• under calorie goal 9/10 days: 5/10 so far
• over 8K steps 9/10 days: 4/10 so far
• three strength workouts: 1/3 so far
• four cardio workouts: 1/4 so far

2/11 for continuity - 135.4
2/12 - 132.6 - under calories yesterday. Whew, it was food and water I was carrying lol! Was not feeling well yesterday so light on steps.
2/13 - 132.4 - way under calories yesterday, my fitbit didn't sync till the last minute! Yesterday 10K steps and a 25 minute video workout: heart rate was high and muscles are sore, so I can't decide if it was cardio or strength
2/14 - 133.2 - bounce expected. Under calorie goal, 8K steps.
2/15 - 133.4 - under calorie goal yesterday, 11K steps, and I RAN 2.5 MILES. With the dog in the rain.

2/16 - 132.6 - under calorie goal and 10K steps. Got to get with my plan about actual workouts though! Still, super happy about how my mini goals for this round are motivating me to do that little bit extra.

Day/Weight/Comment

02/12 …..185.4 ….. Yay me! It finally budged but I had to go to extreme measures to get a jumpstart! That was actually easy since I woke up with a bad cold & didn't feel well most of the day. Today I will get the carbs & calories back up to plan & try to keep this ball rolling, especially in light of Valentine’s day this round which will include multiple meals outside of my home and we all know how that ends with me. But I’m working on that weakness. Travel at the end of the round for some overnight medical trips will not allow me to do the last few days weigh-ins (unless weather causes me to cancel trip). This will be a tough round but I’ll do my best. My stats for yesterday: 708 Calories in / 2648 calories out. Net carbs 7. IF 16:8 A total of 19,105 steps which included a planned walk. 8.22 Total miles for the day. 13/13 fitbit step hours. I danced for 37 minutes & I walked indoors at moderate pace for 69 minutes. My sample song was “Footloose” by Kenny Loggins. A great high-paced peak song. Good Luck everyone on this round.
02/13 …..185.2….. I had to cancel an out of town Dr. Appointment today due to weather. We have gotten 11” of snow since yesterday afternoon into today. No school again for my grandkids. I wanted to pump up my calories over yesterday’s post, but it was an all day & evening phone day so I was way under on everything again but so distracted my stomach stayed satisfied. I will try to bring my calories up again today a bit. Yesterdays stats: 848 Calories In / 2454 Calories out. 11 Net Carbs which was mainly my Cauliflower Rice casserole. 14,440 steps & 6.11 Total miles. I spent a bit of time briskly walking up & down long hallway (on purpose) during some of the calls to get my steps in. IF: 17:7 I completed 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours and 11 minutes which was very refreshing. I walked 50 minutes & danced 44 minutes. Sample song was “Lighthouse” by Ziggy Marley.
02/14 …..185.4….. Plans for today: Valentines Day luncheon with Friends followed later at night with Pool Hall Potluck featuring special V-Day desserts. Wish me luck! Food…Food…Food… A slight blip up in weight on scale. I’m not sure why because yesterday was a good day & I stuck to plan. I managed to slightly increase my calories because they had been running too low. No as much exercise but still got a bit of planned movement in. Slept well. However, water intake was low which usually happens when I’m so busy. Stats: 1061 Calories In / 2492 Calories Out. 16 Net Carbs which was mainly Keto friendly Jalapeno Poppers to help me pump up my calories. 13,144 Total Steps & 5.58 Total Miles. IF: 16:8. I completed 13/13 fitbit step hous. I slept 5 hours & 41 minutes. I walked indoors for 20 minutes & danced for 22 minutes. Sample song was “Last Kiss” by Pearl Jam . (The remake of the oldie). I’m planning a fun day & night. Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!
02/15 ….. 189.0….. Whaaaat????? Yes, I doublechecked it. I had two different food fests yesterday. I ate very lightly & wisely during the afternoon luncheon with friends. At the Valentine’s Potluck last night I know I ate over calories & carbs. Too confusing to count. But 3.6 lbs overnight? Hopefully some of it is water so I will work on that today. Calories Out 2344. 10,513 total steps & 4.48 total miles. I did not IF due to afternoon luncheon. I completed 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours & 15 minutes. No time for the dancing yesterday, but I did walk moderate pace outside in the freezing cold for a planned walk which was 41 minutes. Back to losing the same pounds again! I hate the way carbs work in my body so I am only too happy to be back on plan today. I hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday & will enjoy their weekend.
02/16 …..189.1….. I still deserve this. Shame on me! Over on calories & carbs again yesterday on an “at home binge”. Likely from the hunger caused by the carbs from V-Day (the day before). Disappointed in self. Hard to count the foods but I know the carbs were well over 100 & the calories were likely over 2000. My best guess is that I stayed within CICO but nowhere near my plan. My calories out were 2394. 10,164 Total Steps & 4.3 Miles. 13/13 fitbit step hours. IF 17:7. I slept 6.39 hours which was likely a sugar crash since I rarely sleep more than 5 hours. I woke up very tired & groggy, feeling like I needed even more sleep. It feels like it’s going to be a miserable day which I have only caused for myself. The junk I ate does not make me feel good. I did get in 25 minutes of aerobic dancing. Sample song “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees which had the perfect beat. Tonight is movie night. A friend is bringing over “Aquaman” which I have not seen yet. I’m a big Superhero fan so this will be good. I will not be eating the popcorn or icecream sundaes.

02/11 141.2

02/12 143.4 I was really good last night but I did have a lot of salty food and I was feeling bloated today so this could be a combination of both. Just a fluctuation or else I don't know what I might have done wrong to earn this gain. I stayed under calories, worked out and drank 1.6 liters of water. 19,000+ steps. The past couple of rounds I haven't been coming to the group as often, although still weighing in every day but I want to make this group apart of my priority..it took so long to read the last thread and get caught up on all your progresses but I did it!

02/13 142.2 came down a little. Ate good, exercised and drank 1.3 liters of water, 8,000+ steps

02/14 141 I'M happy about this drop, super excited to keep going. Yesterday I ate under Calories, exercised and drank 1.3 liters of water and 6,000+ steps. 6th day sticking to healthy eating and watching my calories. I am dedicated to keep this up and keep going for the duration of the 10 days. No bad days this time around. Restart button is so far working good.

02/15 140.2 cheers to a steady drop! I did good yesterday, even for Valentine's day. I made my man peanut butter cups and mint thins (from scratch) since they are his favorite. While doing this, i licked no spoons and kept my hands to myself, except when they went for Apple slices I had prepared before baking to stop me from snacking. Although by the end of the night i had indulged in couple of small cookies here and a peanut butter cup there (you have to taste to be sure it's good, right?) I stopped and didn't over indulge on the treats, keeping under my calorie goal. I also opted in a vegetable plate rather then the burgers and fries I made him. Overall a nice night. Worked out good and greatful it wasn't worse then it could have been

02/16 138.4 a woooosh, i am in the 30s!!!! Yay me!!! I am trying to not get too excited, i just want to see this number for a couple more days before I get excited...be sure it is here for good. I am hoping to have a good weekend because Monday is a holiday here in Ontario, called family day and my whole family is getting together for a brunch. I want to still be good during the brunch but just in case I have few choices, food wise then at least I will only be giving up a day in stead of two. I am still determined to be good for the whole 10 days but we will see, i can only deal with what i have been given. Yesterday I had a rest day exercise wise, did a little over 1 liter of water but ate under Calories. My NSV, I was craving chocolate for four hours yesterday but stayed away...yay me!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 159, not a great start to Round 68. I think my salt intake over the past few days caught up with me. Today is another day so I am not going to be too discouraged. I ordered Plated for this week and the calories count are really high, especially for my height and intake. I made their Steak Quesadilla yesterday and the serving size was 960 calories. I cut my portion in half so calories were within the 1360 I could eat, but I was still very hungry. I order from meal subsciptions around once every month, but took January and December off because of the holidays, so this was the first time I have cooked with them on a diet.
45 minutes of exercise, 11,771 steps, 64 oz of water

02/13 158, good drop after eating well yesterday. It's raining heavily today so hoping to make it to gym after work. Officially no longer obese, just overweight so pretty happy to see 158. My next mini goal is 157.6 (15 lbs down) and hope to get there soon!
45 minutes of exercise, 7386 steps, 76 oz of water

02/14 158.5 up a bit, but ate really well yesterday so just will trust the process and see where the scale goes this round. It rained heavily yesterday and it looks like the rain will continue to Friday. I am hoping to get at least 5000 steps in so that I can make up the difference later in the round. Most of my steps involve walking outdoors and running errands, so the rain hinders that ability.
45 minutes of exercise, 10,168 steps, 64 oz of water

02/15 157.4, new low and 15.2 lbs lost. I know tomorrow I will be up a bit since it has been a back and forth round, but still proud of an overall downward trend.
45 minutes of exercise, 7348 steps, didn’t track but probably around 35 oz of water

02/16 158.2, expected this number with the way the round is going and it seems like splurge days or carb heavy days show up a couple of days after. I ate well yesterday, but didn’t get to my steps or water goals (drank a lot of diet soda and coffee). I will drink a lot of water today to compensate for yesterday.

2/16: 190.6 - I have now lost 20lbs. Only 50 (+/-5) to go! I keep a list of different types of milestones and it’s really motivating to cross them off as I go. Crossing 2 off 2 days in a row feels unreal.

@BethE238

20 pounds is awesome!!! Congrats! #goals

I'm ready food-wise for a weekend of healthy eating, my kitchen is prepped and stocked! 🎉
