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.
02/17--213.1 Finished W5D1 yesterday. I hadn't run in a week and wasn't sure if I should continue on with the training progression or if I should redo the previous week. Well, I decided to just continue on and if I wasn't feeling great then I would just reduce the amount of running. Well, I finished the first running interval and felt great, so I continued on and was able to finish without any problems. Today is a rest day, but I want to make sure that I do some stretching and foam rolling.
02/18--213.4 Finished W5D2 today. Personal trainer tomorrow.
02/19--213.4
02/20--211.8 I knew there would be a whoosh this morning considering I had to go to the bathroom at least 3 times within one hour last night even though I hadn't drank a lot of water yesterday. I reached this low weight last round, so it will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow on the scale. Met with the personal trainer yesterday and after the session I realized that I really wasn't pushing myself enough when I weightlifted on my own...so far so good. Tonight is yoga which I really need after yesterdays workout.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 …..185.4 ….. 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….. 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: 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 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
02/16 …..189.0….. 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.
02/17 …..189.0….. Thank goodness it didn’t go up. An unplanned out-of-town shopping trip found me eating my dinner at a restaurant. I could have made a bit better choices. Movie night found me eating some icecream afterall. Not as much as the others, but I broke my promise to myself. I hope all this does not end up showing up on the scale. Lots of work, as usual, on Sundays so I will be getting lots of steps in. Yesterday stats are too few to figure (again) but best guess is calories around 2000 and carbs over 200 (darn icecream). Calories out 2248. 10,548 steps & 4.4 miles. Completed 09/13 fitbit step hours due to car rides & movie. IF 16:8. Slept 6 hours & 4 minutes, probably a sugar crash as this is way longer than my usual amount. I did fit in a dance yesterday afternoon for 22 minutes. Sample song “Respect” by Aretha Franklin. I hope today to be a better day. Eating carbs creates an uphill battle for days following so I shall bare that burden today.
02/18 …..188.8….. Long day at work yesterday. No chance for exercise or dancing. I didn’t even get a chance to log all my food but I stayed mostly to food plan. Fitbit information: 2448 Calories Out. 12,188 steps & 5.17 miles walking during general work cleaning the cabins. IF 16:8. I slept 4 hours & 48 minutes. Lots of travel coming up which is not good. More derailing. As stated on day 1 of this round, this is a tough round to stay in check for me. Food prepping today so I will have things ready when I get home. Making room in my freezer today. More cabin cleaning so I should easily get my steps in. Have a good week everyone!
02/19 …..188.2….. Finally some progress on the scale! I Cancelled travel plans for the next 3 days due to incoming bad weather. Good day yesterday but could not close out my food log because my calories fell just a bit short of acceptable. I will try to increase calories slightly today but I will be stuck at the salon for a few hours on hair color. Yesterdays Stats: 988 Calories In / 2707 Calories Out. Net Carbs 6. 15,404 Total Steps & 6.55 Total Miles. IF 18:6. 13/13 Fitbit Step hours. I slept 5 hours & 17 minutes. I opted for an indoor walk with a friend instead of dancing. Walked moderate pace 31 minutes. There will be less activity today because of sitting all afternoon at salon but I will try to fit in some dancing.
02/20 …..188.2….. Lots of sitting at the salon yesterday so less burn, but I did stop at school & do 3 miles of inside walking to help. I also did a dance set last night. My Stats: 1809 Calories In / 2482 Calories Out. 97 Net carbs. 15,215 Total Steps & 6.44 Total Miles. 10/13 Fitbit step hours due to lengthy salon chair. I slept 4 hours & 37 minutes but wanted more. I walked indoors 1 hour & 21 minutes & I danced 31 minutes. Sample song “Folsom Prison Blues” by Johnny Cash. Lots of prep cooking today & I’m feeling pretty great about that. Pot luck tomorrow at the Pool Hall & I’m not feeling so great about that. Especially on the last night of challenge which may force a gain on first day of new challenge. Hope you all are enjoying your hump day.

SW: 235 (01 Jan 2019)
UGW: 135
02/12: 209.2 - My son’s 6th birthday, and my 1st day on maintenance while we have a guest. Stayed under goal despite dining out for lunch and birthday cake in the evening. 🍫
02/13: 209.6 - Leftover birthday cake blew my goal out of the water. Luckily it was a small cake, so it’s gone now. It was so rich; I think I’ll be good without dessert for a WHILE! 🍫🍫
02/14: 210.6 - Not surprising, given the past two days. I need to drink more water. Went out to lunch and had a large burger, but still stayed under goal; I was too full for dinner! 🍔
02/15: 210.4 - Spent the whole afternoon at the park, including a picnic lunch. Under goal. 🌳
02/16: 209.0 - Looks like I’ve recovered from the birthday celebrations! Maybe maintenance wasn’t necessary during this visit... my appetite seems to have adjusted. 🤷🏻♀️
02/17: 207.8 - New low! Previously 208.4 ⭐️
02/18: 207.2 - Yay! ⭐️
02/19: 207.6 - I debated switching back to my deficit this week but I know this week will involve Dim Sum, a new Cantonese place, and a theme park sooo.... I’m gonna stick to the plan. 🎯
02/20: 208.8 - Allergies hit HARD yesterday. Had an extra soda & some tea to soothe my sore throat but not enough water overall so I’m sure I’m retaining... 🤧
02/21: 208.4 - Wasn’t able to weigh in until I had been up for several hours, post-food & drink. DS got sick last night all over his bedroom, so we were up for a good chunk of the night & slept on the couch. 😷11 -

02/15: 191 lb. Indulged in Starbucks this morning and then had far too much cheesy pasta for lunch. Not exactly a great start, but I intend to improve.
02/16: 188.9 lb This is closer to my normal 'current weight'. I'm assuming yesterday's number was due to retaining water weight from some bad food earlier this week. Also, the fiance and I waited until today to celebrate Valentine's day - I resisted overeating movie snacks and made us a healthy steak and salad dinner. Yay!
02/17: 187.2 lb - Did a massive deep clean of my apartment today; was cleaning most of the day, so it was a nice workout. Also food prepped for the coming week - nice to see all those little meal boxes in the fridge and not have to worry about what I'm doing for breakfast or lunch the rest of the week.
02/18: 187.2 lb - no change. Also had massive junk food cravings today and let myself get way too hungry before lunch, so I ended up scarfing some chips and m&ms. I'll have to be more careful about making sure to bring a healthy morning snack.
02/19: 187.6 lb - ended up paying for those salty snacks yesterday. We have a catered lunch at work tomorrow - I hope it's something relatively healthy.
02/20: 187.8 lb Dang, wrong direction again. Oh well. Catered lunch ended up being "make your own" style Mediterranean bowls that were delicious and full of healthy veggies. Had to guess at calories but I'm fairly sure I stayed within what I planned.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/12- 166.2. 60 mins 'fat burn' on treadmill. 21K+ on Fitbit. Calories and tracking in range. Constantly feeling fatigued - work is doing a number on me, looking forward to 4 day weekend.
2/13- 166.2 Did not exercise this morning. Pouring rain and more tomorrow, so no trail walking for me this weekend - treadmill is getting tedious
Calories a little over but tracked it all.
Also ordered a Fitbit Versa last night, updating from my Charge 2. Hope it's a good buy!
2/14- 165.6 60 mins treadmill but 21K steps after a chaotic day at work. Valentine's day with kids is interesting - added to that, severe rain storms on and off all day. Exhausted!
2/15- 165.4 90 mins treadmill. Rain stopped, long weekend off - yay! New Fitbit Versa working great...love it so far.
2/16- 165.8 90 mins treadmill. Calories over today - not making good choices
2/17- Did not weigh. 90 mins treadmill
2/18- 165.4 90 mins treadmill
2/19- 164.8 Took a rest day. Did not sleep well....should have just got out of bed and on to the treadmill! A strange rain storm last night, freezing night and ice everywhere this morning....in San Diego! I slipped on the ramp outside our classroom, now have a nicely bruised hip and very painful wrist
Homemade pizza for dinner tonight, so weight will go up tomorrow I'm sure.
2/20- 165.2 Yip...there's the gain! Treadmill 70 mins, calories better today and tracked.

ROUND 68 (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 54-67 = 38.4 lb.
NSVs: Besides wearing smaller clothing and my wedding band fitting now, my blood pressure has been lower on my last couple of doctor visits and when I’ve checked it at home.
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
02/12 137.2 I only ended with a .2 lb. loss last round, but I’m starting this round 2.2 lb. lower than my weight yesterday. My scale likes to torment with me. On a high note, I’ve been experimenting with not logging calories, just following keto guidelines, and I think I can do it. Starting out, I had to track everything, but I think I’ve got the hang of it now. I keep experimenting with keto recipes that appeal to both me and my husband. I just add pasta or rice or potatoes to his meals. I’m trying to reach my GW by the end of this month.
02/13 137.8 Not bad, considering yesterday was a 2 lb. drop and I was up early this morning. After lunch with the Red Hat ladies, I did one tax return, then took Thor on a 6-mile walk. One of our Red Hat ladies, Ruby, celebrated her 85th birthday last week. Ruby is trim and let us know she jogs, because walking is boring. Ruby’s my new role model!
02/14 137.6 Better than nothing. Today, my hip was sore all day. It hurt when I started walking yesterday (from arthritis in back, per my doctor), but I hadn’t experienced hip pain since September, so it took me by surprise. I won’t have time to walk again until Sunday, so I should be all better by then.
02/15 137.4 Slowly, but surely. Hopefully, I’ll get below my start weight before the end of the round, but probably not tomorrow. It will be an early day to leave for a couple of concerts 2 ½ hours away. It will probably be close to midnight before I get home tomorrow evening—long day ahead. Time for bed now! Hope everyone has a great weekend of fun and relaxation, but not overeating or over-drinking! 😊
02/16 DNW I got up and raced out early yesterday morning. Yesterday was a good day, but we didn’t get home until almost midnight.
02/17 137 I see it’s going back down. When I saw the number this morning, I couldn’t remember if it was good or bad. There’s too much going on to keep my head straight. Other than my pushups and sit-ups, I’m not exercising today.
02/18 136.6 I worked this morning and did my sister’s tax return. She took me to lunch, and I had my favorite green salad with grilled shrimp. I ate half for lunch and had the rest for dinner this evening. My husband and I spent at least 3 hours working in the yard this afternoon, so Thor didn’t get a walk. Our yard is an acre, so Thor ran around while we worked. He sniffed every blade of grass, ate a little of the organic fertilizer, chased a squirrel, and warned the cows to stay away from the fence. My husband and I will have sore backs tomorrow, but we accomplished a lot.
02/19 136.6 No gain is good. I ate a big breakfast this morning, because I didn’t know if today’s women’s club luncheon would have anything I could eat. Fortunately, one of my low-carb friends brought a delicious soup her husband made. She even gave me some to bring home for dinner. 😊 I just looked my weight “report” and took a screenshot I’ll share below. I had not pulled it up since I started, but the downward trend it pictures is encouraging. I’m very close to goal now.
02/20 137.0 (sigh) I hope to be back under 137 tomorrow, but who knows? I’m happy to stay between 135 and 140, but I’d like to see the 135 before I begin maintaining. My hip is still hurting and my foot doctor made a temporary adjustment to my orthotics today to see if it helps my alignment and eases the hip/back pain that started after the last orthotics adjustment. At least I’m no longer having pain from the Morton’s Neuroma between my toes. The toe pain was my reason for visiting the foot doctor in the first place. One step at a time.

My 3rd round. I'll be trying to keep under my calorie goals by at least a couple hundred a day, as I'm away at the weekend for a post-Valentines break, will give me more leeway. Won't be able to weigh 16th-19th.

Day/Weight/Comment:
02/12: 314.5 (-2.00) - Happy to see this again! After exercise - I added the "active time" minutes on Samsung health, just phone tracking of activity from my pocket - I was under by 600 calories yesterday.
02/13: Forgot to weigh, woke up in the night and couldn't get to sleep, had breakfast and a nap, all ok though.
02/14: 313.5 (-1.00) - Always nice to see a new low!
02/15: 314.5 (+1.00) - Hello old friend! Slightly early weigh, came in 0.5lb lighter later but I'm sticking with this. Away to a tiny cabin on a farm for the weekend, with my boyfriend, in the middle of the countryside. Heaven! Won't have scales for the next 3 mornings, will write if I feel like it, going to try and be a bit sensible with food but I'm not that worried.
02/16: No Scales
02/17: No Scales
02/18: No Scales
02/19: 314.5 (+0.00) - Had a lovely Valentine's weekend. Good food but lots of activity, went around a zoo on Saturday. 11k steps, 120 minutes of active time (not sure how Samsung health calculates that, we were there for 5+ hours, maybe an hour of that sat down, so I assume it's non-stop movement). More walking Sunday and yesterday. Lots of salty, sugary, unhealthy food and alcohol on Sunday evening. Felt bloated Monday morning, I think my body has gotten used to better nutrition. Expecting a drop in a day or 2 as water weight goes, as I kept at least my 500 cal net deficit each day by the time exercise was added! (Based on calorie estimates!) Was a lovely weekend.
02/20: 313.5 (-1.00) - Forgot to post, technically the 21st here but weight and written the right day!
Woke up to an awful cold, won't worry about eating at defecit for at least today. Just hope it doesn't last long.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 - 180.6lbs - going down again cold finally improving, thankfully.
02/13 - 180.4lbs - slowly slowly. Feeling much better. In the annoying stage where I have an almost constant tickle at back of my throat making me cough loads lol
02/14 - 179.8lbs - Wahoo! The 170s. Let's hope it sticks.
02/15 - 180.2lbs - oh man! Slow going this round!
02/16 - 179.8lbs - back in the 170s. Let's hope it stays this time. Off to FIL and step MILs house today. She always puts on a delicious cooked breakfast spread. However, she is doing slimming world and she knows I'm dieting so shes said she'll do a slimming world friendly brunch. Not sure what that will involve but hopefully I'll have some calorie wise choices I can make.
02/17 - 180lbs - Greer. So frustrating. Wont stay in the 170s! Brunch yesterday wasn't healthy lol. It was all the usual stuff, she just hadn't fried any of it. Which helped, but didn't provide any healthy choices lol. So I just limited my portion to keep it under control. Also had a low calorie dinner to limit damage. Went over calorie goal still, but not by much and still in a calorie deficit overall. I expect the small jump has more to do with salt content. Swimming this morning with daughter. She is doing so well at the moment and being really brave about trying new things. Its lovely to see
02/18 - 179.8lbs - back here again. Lol. Oh well, nice one for official weekly weigh in day. DH caught my cold last week, and DD came down with it yesterday afternoon. So broken sleep last night, ended up spending an hour and a half sleeping on floor next to her. Here's hoping her day isnt too rough x
02/19 - 179.4lbs - Finally moved past the .8 mark! Wahoo! DD seemed to be ok yesterday, so long as she'd had calpol regularly. She did nap mid day, which she never does anymore, and she slept well last night. She seems fine this morning. Go figure!
02/20 - 178.4lbs!! - wow! Helloooo 178! Nice to see you again! Haven't seen this number since June last year! Let's hope it sticks!!
02/21 - 177.8lbs!!! - Amazing! I've exceeded my goal for this round. I really didn't think this was going to happen, so am so happy to see this number. It's also official, I now weigh less than I did when we went on holiday last year! A nice little motivational boost!
Result of round 68: -3.4 lbs
Good luck everyone!

02/15 80.9kg it stuck. Horrible run this morning but mid term break for a whole week starts today.

02/17 80.8kg went out got dinner last night and ate a braaied chicken with salad. Totally within macros and calories.
02/18 80.6kg. Too rainy to run today but I can go later as I have a week off work. Measured yesterday and I've lost 7.5 inches in total. 1 inch per kg!
02/19 80.1kg hope that sticks! Didn't run yesterday as it rained all day. Will go for a quick one later today. Managed my 11 pushup, 35 squats and 18 sit ups.. Just

02/15- 164.4 (water weight?)
02/16- 165.5 (yup! Water weight >.<) walked for about 20 minutes today, ate more greens. Had (a few) sweets.. Definitely needing to work on that sweet tooth!
02/17 - 164.4 (weight ping-pong. Whatevers, right? lol. Met my goal! That 30 minute weighted upper body video made me feel awesome and strong! Took the cheese off my veggie pizza (o.O) and added some herbs- tasted just as good imo! Thinking about green smoothies to get more greens in tomorrow. Headed to bed right now because less sleep increases CORTISOL aka your friendly stress hormone and makes it harder to loose weight, curb cravings, etc. Grateful for today.)
02/18- 164.2 (Met my goals today, worked out core with weights - expecting a little bump up tomorrow because that typically happens with me due to muscle inflammation via micro-tears with strength training. Ate well, and even took a nap. I didn't realize just how exhausted I was! I think it will help my body learn to fall asleep sooner if I scale back my bed-time by 10 minutes or so every day... anywhoo...here's to building better habits!)
02/19- 164.6 (Predicted that, so no worries. Even if I don't meet my 1 pound goal, I know I'm changing my body composition and I'm aiming for consistency! Sore in new places hehe. Today I'll try to finish all my eating before 530pm, that way my stomach can rest while the rest of me sleeps
I discovered that I'm really loving this online- journaling. I feel it is helping with accountability. Thanks guys, you're the best... And to whoever reads this, I hope you find some inspiration in my journey as well!)
02/20- 162.6 (hey hey... I've learned to become neither elated nor dissuaded by numbers because quick jumps in a short time period represent - excuse my bluntness- water fluctuations or GI evacuations lol. What I do know is that yesterday I certainly was dehydrated, and ended up having to stay several more hours at work. Needless to say I was very hungry when I got home
. So here's to improvements that were made today: More greens and More water! Hopefully tomorrow there will also be More exercise... and Less sweets, as well as Less sitting

02/16 - 226.12lb -happy now just got to make it stick

Took a break due to mental health…. Now back up past my starting weight! I have also developed high blood pressure so for the sake of my own health I need to do this.... plus I don't want my kids growing up without me there!
Currently doing a “100 miles in February” challenge for charity too, so I'm running 4km every morning and 10km on Saturday and Sunday!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/12- 100.4 so embarrassed about how much weight I put on… doctors was a real wake up call, showed me the excess is doing more that just stretching my clothes!
2/13- 99.9 didn't eat very well yesterday and took a rest from running too!
2/14- 99.7 doing well but I know it's just the Tom water weight coming off!
2/15- 99.0 Well this is a nice drop! Had a lovely run this morning, getting faster every day! Slightly concerned about the weekend as I'm bringing my son to a fortnite thing and I've promised him five guys for lunch afterwards… I'll have to be on my best behaviour...
2/16- 99.2 knew there’d be a bounce back but still happy! Think today is a day off running as I'm out with my son but I'll see if I can squeeze an hour in later!
2/17- 99.5 That's the pizza and chips from last night! But I've a long run planned today so I'm not overly concerned!
2/18- 99.2 think I'm carrying a little water after my run yesterday. Ended up having a lovely 13.5km outing along the harbour. Beautiful sunshine and boats bobbing in the bay! Stunning! But I'm a bit sore this morning, going out for 4km recovery run later so that should help the muscles recover!
2/19- 98.4 The dietbet and the 100 mile challenge has actually got me ridiculously focused! I am dragging my *kitten* out of bed at 5.50 to go out for a run! Just for the possibility of winning my $35 back and because I want my shiny medal for my 100 miles!
2/20- dnw my youngest turns 3 today but just like his 1st and 2nd birthdays he is unwell! Poor thing was up half the night with croup! This meant I was up until 2 and then up at 6 as his brother was up and wanted to do cake and presents! So with all that going on I just didn't have a chance to step on the scales! Off out for a run when husband gets home from work, food going well, haven't even eaten any of the birthday cake! So I'm hoping yesterday's number sticks!
2/21-98.0 yikes! Overshot my goal by a whole kilo! I didn't believe the scale so I tried a few times, then took out the batteries, but always the same reading....
I'm delighted! Can't wait to keep this momentum going in the next round!

Good first day back on track. Had pizza in the eve, not the best choice, but I weighed it and it was well within cals.
Adjusted my goals on MFP and fitbit and aiming for a 0.5kg loss per week. Looks like I've done that already 😆 Must all be water/travel weight coming off.

Round 67 ~|~ End goal: <164
11/02: 165.0: Goals: Gentle exercise after my intense 2 days of strength.
Not sure if the stall/increase is because of weekend food choices, increased strength training, or both. It's sometimes a trade-off situation when one decides to work on muscle toning. Looking forward to Round 68.
Round 68 ~|~ End goal: <164
12/02: 165.1: Gaols: ✅ Hmmmm... Still plateauing. Under calories but a relative rest day after Monday exertions.
13/02: 165.1: Goals: Do grocery shopping, gym session, 9000+ steps ✅. Didn't get to gym, but did some circuits at home. Fitting in the gym is problematic this week.
14/02: 164.6: Goals: Well, there it is again! Planning a Leslie Sansone HIIT workout before I head out this afternoon✅. Did w/o plus some flex/strength. Ate most of my exercise calories on Valentine's dinner 😂 so will definitely be holding water in the morning!
15/02: 164.9: Goals: 1 hour gym session ✅ plus some walking later on today. Got in several walks outside between meetings. I'm wondering if the gym session will lead to water retention again.
Sat, 16/02: 165.2: Goals: Lots of walking playing ingress with my daughters ✅ Over 270 minutes walking, 21015 steps.
Sun! 17/02: 164.9: Goals: Rest day after yesterday. ✅
Mon, 18/02: 165.1: Goals: ✅ On track with goals. Silly NSV: I glanced down at my toes and noticed that there are now gaps between them. 😂 😂 😂
Tues, 19/02: 164.9: Goals: Gym session, HIIT.✅ No gym, but worked out at home
20/02: 164.8: Goals: Busy with meetings today. I think I must have posted twice on Tues. I had had an intense day and was quite tired in the evening after a workout.
Wed, 20/02: 165.0: Goals: Is a whoosh too much to ask for? Went shopping, then after lunch we went for a walk along our local beach. The weather is finally back in double figures. 11*C
Thurs, 21/02: 164.5: Goals: Dance class this morning, weights w/o and yoga after lunch.
Fairly happy with this round. Looking forward Round 69. I've been doing this Challenge since June 2017. This time last year I was 172 lbs. Today? 164.5! Vive le difference! It's been up and down, but the trend is downward!
THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

@thattoothfairy... I'm aiming for consistency! Sore in new places hehe. Today I'll try to finish all my eating before 530pm, that way my stomach can rest while the rest of me sleeps I discovered that I'm really loving this online- journaling. I feel it is helping with accountability. Thanks guys, you're the best... And to whoever reads this, I hope you find some inspiration in my journey as well!)
I can relate to that! 😂 I've been working on muscle definition, and have discovered a lot of new places! 😂 But it's worth it for the long term gain.2 -

I am 52, 5’2” and trying to get healthy for the last time and stay this way. I have high blood pressure, cholesterol, and very low vitamin D levels. I will log everyday here but have only one day I check in with weight and it is Friday.
SW: 225.8 (2/10/19)
CW: 222 (2/14/19 Valentines challenge)
Mini Goal: is to lose 10 lbs. in 5 weeks.
Overall Goal is to lose 105-115 lbs. (that is half my weight and will take time! I am OK with this because I will learn how to eat right, and do it the healthy way).
Day/Weight/Comment
02/12
02/13
02/14 – 222lbs - I am feeling good because I have a more positive attitude and being more active, like to be accountable, and this will also help with it
02/15 – 220lbs – Amazed at how much the scale changes, but feeling motivated.
02/16 – 222lbs – OK with this, I was concerned because my schedule was messed up yesterday, and ate later than usual. I am not sure if this played a part in it but I am OK with it.
02/17 – 221.4 – I was up early, like midnight and could not sleep. This tends to be the times struggle with eating more than I am supposed to eat. I did nap later before shopping so feeling somewhat better. My schedule somewhat messed up today. I will remain strong, even as hubby said we will order something for lunch from Domino's. I will not, because the saturated fat in everything and sugar content. I will have salad I put together myself.
02/18 – 221.0 – I get disappointed when I only see a loss of ounces, but then realize it is a loss, and any loss is a good one. Own the loss weather it a 0.1 or 1.0. Well today have the grandkids, so not sure what kind of day we going to have. The grandson is a handful with his behavior problems. My granddaughter will probably want to make some jewelry. I will try to get a walk in today with the grandkids. Have a great day all!
02/19 – 221.1 – I am not worried about the .1 gain; that is the joys of weighing every day. It all good and I won’t let this discourage me. Today I will get a walk in; my schedule was off with the grandkids off from school and the neighbors two I watch at night time. My struggle will know there are cookies the neighbor brought over. This was my downfall last night after completing meal plan. I ate 4 – good thing they were small.
02/20 – 220 – Feeling pretty good this morning, a little sore from walking home from my granddaughter’s basketball game – this was an accomplishment. I am trying to walk more to get some type of exercise in.
02/21 – 219.8 – I am feeling good this morning. The winter weather and cold is keeping me indoors and have my schedule messed up. Grandkids back to school so will get a walk in today, when get my grandson after school.
I am one step closer to my goals!12 -
My 3rd round. I'll be trying to keep under my calorie goals by at least a couple hundred a day, as I'm away at the weekend for a post-Valentines break, will give me more leeway. Won't be able to weigh 16th-19th.
SW on 01/18/19: 326lbs
GW: 234lbs (temp goal)
Round 66 Start: 323.5 End: 318.
Round 67 Start: 319.5 End: 316.5
Day/Weight/Comment:
02/12: 314.5 (-2.00) - Happy to see this again! After exercise - I added the "active time" minutes on Samsung health, just phone tracking of activity from my pocket - I was under by 600 calories yesterday.
02/13: Forgot to weigh, woke up in the night and couldn't get to sleep, had breakfast and a nap, all ok though.
02/14: 313.5 (-1.00) - Always nice to see a new low!
02/15: 314.5 (+1.00) - Hello old friend! Slightly early weigh, came in 0.5lb lighter later but I'm sticking with this. Away to a tiny cabin on a farm for the weekend, with my boyfriend, in the middle of the countryside. Heaven! Won't have scales for the next 3 mornings, will write if I feel like it, going to try and be a bit sensible with food but I'm not that worried.
02/16: No Scales
02/17: No Scales
02/18: No Scales
02/19: 314.5 (+0.00) - Had a lovely Valentine's weekend. Good food but lots of activity, went around a zoo on Saturday. 11k steps, 120 minutes of active time (not sure how Samsung health calculates that, we were there for 5+ hours, maybe an hour of that sat down, so I assume it's non-stop movement). More walking Sunday and yesterday. Lots of salty, sugary, unhealthy food and alcohol on Sunday evening. Felt bloated Monday morning, I think my body has gotten used to better nutrition. Expecting a drop in a day or 2 as water weight goes, as I kept at least my 500 cal net deficit each day by the time exercise was added! (Based on calorie estimates!) Was a lovely weekend.
02/20: 313.5 (-1.00) - Forgot to post, technically the 21st here but weight and written the right day!
Woke up to an awful cold, won't worry about eating at defecit for at least today. Just hope it doesn't last long.
02/21: 315.5 (+2) - Very early weigh and I ate most of my defecit yesterday, so pretty expected. Still rough, slept badly which is why I'm up early. Having sciatica at the moment after over-doing it at the weekend just to make life more painful! Painkillers, fluids and rest today, that's my entire plan. Still at a defecit for the week, the numbers will keep going down, so I'm not worried. The daily weighing is to see trends, not worry about a higher number some days. I'm a month in and past the wooshing side so it'll be slow and steady from here on.
See you all tomorrow for Round 69!10
