2/22 145.7 last round was tough for me, even though the ending numbers are fine. I struggled through a small bounce and a few days of no scale movement. And spent a lot of time trying to keep myself on track with my eating choices, which haven't always been great. I was tempted to forget logging. The visuals of the long term weight loss trends that people post in the forums with all their peaks and valleys on the way to goal weight really help keep me going. Yesterday was a great day. I earned my promotion to blue belt in jiu-jitsu! The scale showed me a new number today. All good things!

2/25 145.1
2/26 143.9 A small woosh. Not sure form where and I'm sure it will bounce up a bit tomorrow. No matter. I worked out this morning and took a long shower. Feeling pretty good today. Jiu-jitsu this evening, and I need to figure out dinner.
2/27 143.5 No bounce! I had two hard workouts yesterday and my chest muscles are screaming.

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (My Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!
2/22-166-I leave my dad today, after taking care of him and his new knee. After the weekend, will go to where my husband and I are going to live. I look forward to living with my husband and getting to walk up and down the long paved driveway there, where we will be living (waiting for the house to be built).
2/23-166-Yesterday before I left my dad’s house, I rode 20 last miles on his bike. My legs were sore the rest of the day and that felt good. Today we will go help set up and work at a fundraiser that will have heavy food, lots of drinks and it will be a late night.
2/24-169-Heavy food and a late night. I need to drink lots of water and no alcohol. Hopefully I can get a walk in later. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everybody!!!
2/25-169-That’s OK after long hours and n the car and quick heavy dinner. We made it to our new temporary housing while our house is being built. It is great because there is a long paved driveway and I can walk the dogs every day.😊
2/26 -164-yipee! Signs of the weekend are finally gone. I walked 4 miles fast yesterday, and logged my food & drank water.
2/27-167-Walked 5 miles; the dogs love it! Heavy lunch & too many chips and dip before dinner. Once the weather gets better, I can walk 30 min. after dinner and that really helps. I need to get sewing today; I’m falling behind!😳
I am glad all of you are here! I love reading all of your posts while I drink my coffee in the morning. ☕️🌷11 -
Age: 34/5'5, CW: 227.4, HW: 280, GW: 145ish
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22: 227.8: 14,347 steps, started couch to 5k again (last time I hurt myself and couldn't keep up the running). Got in running/walking time, some weights, jacuzzi/pool time, went out for dinner and walk around town even though there is still ice and snow on the ground!
02/23: 227.8: 4,682 steps, I had to work the dayshift and I was unable to get to the gym before it closed. But watched my calories and made sure not to overeat while at work, which is an amazing feat in of itself.
02/24: 224.4: Steps are still counting for the day but they are going to be low. My hip has been out again and causing tremendous pain down my leg. I am going to make it tomorrow no matter what and try and walk it out. I was happy with my loss. Getting back into the grove of my diet always shows tremendous gains (or losses!). I just have to be mindful while eating at ork and not overeat.
02/25: 227.1: I knew there was going to be a gain. With no gym and barely any moving around yesterday I just couldn't see how sitting around and eating would help. I am off to do shopping and the gym before heading to work, so hopefully back on losing weight train. I think I overate at dinner and at too much salad and chicken, who knew but I didn't stop when I was full. I need to be more aware of that, especially at work.
02/26: 222.7: 10,478 steps, I actually did Wk1/D2 of the C25k program and I did it outside, it was the first time I have run outside since I was a teenager. I was quite mindful of what I was eating and to stop when I was full and I didn't eat after 8pm while sitting at work, which is a huge hurdle for me. It is difficult to be at work until midnight and not pick at something for several hours. I am feeling good about the loss, but always confused about the large decreases, but as long as I am trending down!
02/27: 221.3: 5,473 steps, I tried my best to be good eating yesterday. I stayed under my calories and split lunch with my boyfriend (spicy and sour soup and cashew chicken without rice). It is so much easier having someone with me who is also following a similar "diet." I wasn't able to make it to the gym or otherwise and today I finally have an appointment with an orthopedic doctor to look at my hip and back after being in pain for a year. I guess it is time to take care of it!

I'm stoked to keep this momentum going and participate in another round.
HW (age 14) - 175 lb
SW Jan 2015 - 165 lb
SW Jan 2019 - 147.5 lb
GW - 135 lb
R67 EW = 141 lb; ∆ = -2.2 lb
R68 EW = 138.2 lb; ∆ = -2.8 lb
Goals
Track everything and weigh to the gram.
Walk or jog 8,000 steps per day
Jog 5X in 10 days
Jog/Walk a 5k at least one of those times.
Finish yoga with Adriene 30 day journey on 2/26. Start new yoga journey (???)
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 138.2 lb. Nothing lost nothing gained. I'm happy 😊
02/23 137.6 lb. I am loving this new life I'm building. I have been so sore since starting to incorporate jogging but I still keep my body moving. Yesterday I did the 5K in 43 minutes and although that is pretty slow for 3.1 miles (I did a lot of walking), I can only go up from here! My friend and I are going to sign up for a timed 5K in a couple months and I'm also thinking of doing Bay to Breakers! 🌉 We'll see!
02/24 136.6 lbs. Yesterday was kind of crazy, I was out of the house all day and I knew I had dinner plans with my family so I decided to save up most of my calories for that. But what I ended up doing was compensating with lots of cafinated drinks and I didn't drink much water. At the end of the day I think I didn't eat enough and the caffiene's diuretic effects have led me to lose a lot of water weight. So I'll probably be back up tomorrow once I replenish my fluids.
02/25 137.2 lbs. Now this is a much more realistic number to reflect my diet and exercise over the weekend. 👍
02/26 135.4 lbs. Feeling terrible. I got poison oak from my hike last week and I'm sick with a cold. I haven't been eating enough or drinking enough. Been going to sleep early because the benedryl makes me so sleepy and the itching is unbearable without it. I'm not pleased with this loss because I know I'm not taking care of myself. I am going to buy some homemade chicken noodle soup today from the Nugget. I hope that helps.
02/27 136.4 lbs. I finished my 30 days of yoga journey and that has me feeling proud. I did much better with food yesterday. I ate Cuties throughout the day to get extra vitamin C. And I made sure to drink 64 oz of water. But I'm still struggling because with being sick and itchy and it being rainy and windy I'm not doing any other physical activity besides the yoga. Today is my day off so I'm gonna go get a manicure and some fresh juice at Jamba. I don't know what else to do with myself today besides that, and it has me feeling low.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 - 156.3, went to a basketball game yesterday night and had a couple of beers so preparing myself for a uptick tomorrow. Was worth it though since had a great time and we won!!
10,232 steps, 35 minutes of exercise, 68 oz of water
02/23 - 156.1, busy day today with a volunteer shift from 9-1, brunch (not a great menu for a diet but they have a la carte eggs and fruit salad), gym/shower after, and then a club dinner at 5 so won’t be back home until after 8pm.
12,282 steps, 60 minutes of exercise, 64 oz of water
02/24 - 156.4, had brunch out today (2 egg white scrambled, piece of rye toast, and breakfast potatoes) so hoping I stay under 156.5 tomorrow. Diet will be back to normal tomorrow since weekends I tend to eat out more. Really going to try for 155 on 3/01, but started February 160.4 so 5.4 lbs is a bit ambitious for only 28 days so won’t kick myself too much if don’t get there.
Phone ran out of battery at 2pm with 6850 steps but walked a lot after. Charging Fitbit today since I have to get used to wearing it even if I don’t think it’s attractive— no time for egos., 60 minutes of exercise, 64 oz of water
02/25 - 156.3, back to where I was at the start of the round and pretty happy with that since ate out 3 out of the past 4 days and even if you think you’re ordering correctly it’s hard to know how much oil or salt was used.
10,345 steps, 55 minutes on elliptical, 70 oz of water
02/26 - 156.1, going in the right direction. It’s raining hard here today so hoping to get steps in. Not sure if will be able to if wind picks up.
12,672 steps, 95 minutes on elipitcal, 60 oz of water
02/27 - 156.2, this is a very stable round so far, but I know that weight loss is in my future. I also am seeing what foods fill me up more. I love cereal but it’s not doing it’s job compared to oatmeal haha

I walked 34 minutes outdoors & danced 22 minutes. Sample song “ Here comes my girl” by Tom Petty. That one put me in a great mood because of the nice vibe. Good luck on this round everyone!
02/23 …..189.0 ….. Here goes my embarrassing stats: 2653 Calories In / 2248 Calories out. 198 Net Carbs (the little Debbies are so much worse than the Oreos!). 10,183 Total Steps & 4.32 Miles. No IF yesterday. I slept 4 hours & 12 minutes & suffered severe Restless Leg Syndrome all night from the sugar. I very briskly walked for 17 minutes but did not dance yesterday.
02/24 ….. 189.0 ….. I am trusting the process here. Good day yesterday. 1111 Calories in / 2369 Calories Out. 14 Net Carbs. 13,161 Total Steps & 5.57 Total Miles. IF 17:7. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my fitbit overnight, but got over 5 hours of sleep. I danced for 41 minutes, Sample Song “The Wanderer” by Dion. Tons of work today. I will get my steps in no problem. Have a great day everyone!
02/25 …..188.6 ….. Slowly melting pound. But every little bit counts, right?

I slept 6 hours & 13 min which was phenomenal! I took a very brisk & fast outdoor 10 minute walk & I danced for 40 minutes. Sample song “ Another one bites the dust” by Queen in honor of their Oscar performance where they sang “We are the Champions.” I enjoyed my evening watching the Academy Awards & especially liked seeing Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper perform “Shallow”. I agree with the critics that it was very “intimate”. But the nature of the movie & how it ended – just to be together again, I get it. Anyway, have a great week everyone.
02/26 ….. 188.0….. A very nice strong day again yesterday but no exercise. I worked late & then in-home movie night with my friend & son. Popcorn & hot cocoa for them.

Bad weather today so a long-distance doctor appointment was cancelled. However, tomorrow is an out-of-town to shop for a baby shower on Saturday. Watched a movie with my son. He had a small nachos & some Hershey’s special dark chocolate for a snack. I had Vanilla chai Tea with a hint of Stevia. I was proud of myself today!
02/28 ….. …..
03/01 ….. ….. Travel no weigh.
03/02 ….. …..
03/03 ….. ….. Baby Shower with food festivities. Uggg. Tomorrows start weight will not likely be pretty as Donna is her own worst enemy!

I’ve been bopping around in the low 160’s for months. Last round I worked on getting my head in a different space as far as eating (trying to look at portions as I would have in my 20’s – i.e. much smaller is plenty) and upping my exercise. My gym exercise is about the same but I’m trying to not allow myself to just sit doing crafts, computer or reading without breaking it up with some movement.
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 – 161.8 -
02/23 – 162 – Good day yesterday for sticking with financial stuff that had to get done but ended up not moving as much as planned. Kept within cals. though and logged.
02/24 – 162 – Got in some home exercise but only about 20 min.
02/25 – 161.6 – Did not track cals. but think they were pretty good. No movement except for grocery shopping. Then did some online shopping for a pattern book, out of print a few years ago, and found it at a decent price – dithered & looked some more – you never know if you’ll find it at some library sale for $.50 or if this is your last chance to get it. Finally bought it because I want to make the pattern on the cover, although the exchange from USD to CAD is awful, and realized it’s 1 a.m.! But I got so caught up in my looking that no LNS and went to bed a little hungry.
02/26 – 161.8
02/27 – 161.6 – Gym today, finally. Maybe that will give me a little extra kick going down. Think I’m going to set up a couple of new knitting and embroidery projects – if I don’t have anything like that going, I tend to surf online for my downtime and that inevitably leads to snacking. I used to be terrible about snacking while reading – handwork is so much better because you can’t eat or your project gets grimy with fingerprints.

02/23 377.8 (-2.4)
02/24 378.8 (+1.0)
02/25 379.6 (+0.8) – Not going good at all today so I may have another gain tomorrow. But after today back on track for sure. Goal today to get in my 7000 steps.
02/26 380.6 (+1.0) – Today is going pretty good so far. Hope I lose something tomorrow. I ordered me a new scale today. It should be here by March 7th. Cost a little over $50. Tired of getting on this one a 100 times. You get what you pay for. I am hoping it is better. If it is not I will be sending it back.
02/27 377.2 (-3.4) - Yesterday I got in my 7000 steps. I was not perfect but still ate pretty good. I can't wait to get new scale because this one is really getting on my nerves with the different weights each time I step on it. I am so spoiled because when I weighed over 450 I was spoiled I had an excellent scale that cost a lot. Now I don't want to pay for it so I am hoping the $50 scale from Walmart will suffice. I think I only paid $20 something for the current one. I am used to getting the same reading. After 10 years my other scale was gone
But it was worth every cent. Hopefully I will not have to get it again

Net change 2019 = (+3.6)- 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.

Feb 23 152 I did OK yesterday, better on the 21st. But today, Feb 23, I’m really struggling with food, as I did Feb 19-20. First time in 15 months. Not sure why it changed. Also very tired, struggling with exercise- today is the first day in 11 months I haven’t done dedicated exercise. It’s very odd. My toes & fingers are tingling, hot, cold, or pins & needles & have been since Feb 19. No idea why. Called dr, and they are not concerned as all my labs are great. I hope it will all go away, and I’ll get back to normal.
UPDATE: After typing this, I just couldn’t skip my daily exercise. I also thought a walk might help the symptoms. Asked my husband to walk with me 9-10 pm. Appreciative that he loves to walk & happily said yes! Habits are amazing.
Feb 24 153.4 Got back on track because of MFP UAC Group.
Feb 25 151 2nd day in a row with a calorie deficit. Walked over 13K, feeling like myself again❣️Appetite is back to normal. 2 days down, 3 to go.
Feb 26 151.6! Struggling with urges a bit, but keeping busy & not giving in.
Feb 27 150.8 I have to remember when it’s hardest is when I lose the most. Curbed the eating out, finally. Sodium is still a bit too high but steadily decreasing day by day. Took along hilly hike!

SURVEY:
1.) How many times do you all step on the scale?
2.) What kind of scale are you using?
3.) how much did it cost, if you remember?
4.) Do you feel it is accurate and/or how satisfied are you with your scale?
I know a scale is never 100% accurate but I want one that is the same at least twice when I step on it and not all over the place like the one I have now.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!! Have a great day!

Took a 10 day hiatus from tracking and logging. Gained a total of 12 pounds in those 10 days! I weighed 147.7 before leaving on vacation and came back and weighted 159.9. I almost cried, but I didn't. I knew it was mostly water weight and carbs and it should come off fairly quickly. I am not setting any goals for this round except to get back to 147.xx. The last couple of weeks have been extremely stressful, fun, amazing, exciting, and scary all wrapped up in to 1 box. Vacation was amazing, but my older kids had stuff going on at home that we were having to deal with so it made things a lot more hectic this year. I'm ready to get back down and start losing again. 10 days! 10 days!
02/22 - 151.2 so I'm still going in the right direction. I have lost 8.7 pounds since Monday. I have another 3.5 to go just to get back to where I was 2 weeks ago. Hopefully this weekend I can stay strong and on track. I would like to be back in the 140's by Monday, but of course this weekend is jam packed with all kinds of stuff to do. Fingers crossed I will make wise and healthy choices.
02/23 - 151.2 same which is good and I will take it. LNS got to me last night. Ate a couple of mini sized butterfingers. So I’m glad I stayed the same.
02/24 - 152.5 up a bit. Did really well yesterday. I don’t know why I’m up. Probably a late reaction from the night before. Have a family lunch today and more laundry. We will see where I end up tomorrow.
02/25 - 155.5 I am over February! I know why there was an uptick yesterday and today now. My TOM decided to show up today. Because of the type of birth control I am on it just shows up once every 3 or 4 months and 3-4 pounds of bloat always come with it. I think this will be the first month I end gaining versus losing. That didn't even happen in November or December. I was still up 4 pounds from my vacation and now I just added another 4 for TOM. So I am back to +8 pounds for this month. All I can do is continue to try. I do not think I will be back down in 3 days for the end of this month, but I can start working on March. I think I am a little more frustrated than usual because my emotions are all over the place. Doing good so far today, so I'm taking that as a win and hoping I go down a bit tomorrow. Although usually I hang out with the bloat weight for at least the first half of this week.
02/26 - 153.3 and we continue the yo-yo that is my weight. At least it went down. About 5.5 pounds left of my bloat vacation and TOM extra weight to get rid of. Would love to be back in the 140's by then end of this round and then the next one finally try to start loosing again. I have 2 months to lose 7-8 pounds which is completely doable. On track for today so far and hoping to continue going down.
02/27 - 152.5 going down very slowly. 4.8 pounds left to get back to where I was. I don't expect to lose it very quickly, at least not until probably this weekend. To be honest I was surprised with the slight loss this morning. March is right around the corner and starts a fresh slate. Looking forward to a new month of weight loss!

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!! Have a great day!
1. As many times it takes to register, I sometimes sway a little. But in all seriousness I weigh in once a day, but it always says the same number if I do an accuracy check.
2. a digital scale because to read anything else would require me to have in my contacts and that's too much work for when I first get up.
3. I don't recall, probably about a $20 walmart one
4. Gd I hope so.... and I like it ok, I don't think I'd have any better luck with a different scale.4 -
This is a great thread for accountability and support.

Fairly happy with Round 68. 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!
Round 69 ~|~ End Goal: < 164
Fri 22/02: 164.5: Goals: Gym session with personal trainer + Week 5 Boditrax review. ✅Assessment showed small improvements in all areas. Down 1.8lbs. Did 50 mins treadmill/stationary bike/weights.
Sat 23/02: 164.4: Goals: 20 mins circuits/60 mins HIIT/60 mins yoga. ✅kept my circuits relatively low key as my muscles were protesting. Almost scuppered myself last night calorie wise, but fortunately, reined it in while I was still under goal. Not good as a general practice, though
Sun 24/02: 164.8: Goals: rest and leisurely walking only today. Keep as close to basic calories as possible. ✅Muscles appreciated the rest today. I did some bodyweight arm exercises, and gentle stretching + walking.
Mon 25/02: 164.9: Goals: HIIT/Tai Chi/walking. ✅
Tues 26/02: 164.6: Goals: HIIT/walking ✅ Posting very late today (bedtime! 😂). Managed my goals. Pleased that the weekend weight is on the move. I think I may post in the evenings in future.
Wed 27/02: 164.9: Goals: Fit exercise in round meetings. 9000 + steps/15 + strength/60 mins yoga session ✅
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.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 -213.6 Not surprised about increase since I weight lifted yesterday, the trainer has already increased the intensity on some of the training we are doing. Went to nutritionist and she said I can incorporate eggs into my diet!!! I am so excited, but there is a process on how to incorporate the eggs, so I am going to have to plan when I eat the eggs. She also said that over the next 4 weeks I can incorporate a couple of the other foods that I'm not too sensitive to see how they affect me. Who knew I would be so excited about eggs.
02/23 -213.6 Didn't drink a lot of water yesterday and ate way too much for dinner, but I had a great sleep. Went to the gym to do my training this morning, it was the first time I worked out by myself since I started working with my trainer. It's funny how much my trainer's voice was in my ear as I was working out. I'm going to run some errands and then off to the symphony tonight.
02/24 -213.4
02/25 -214.7 Forgot to post yesterday because I woke up late and had to rush to get my run in before my husband and I drove over to see the in-laws. I successfully finished W5D3, which is the 20 minute run, and I felt great. Then we drove 1 1/2 hours to get to the in-laws and I barely drank any water yesterday. I did incorporate eggs into my diet for the first time in over 3 months, so now I am supposed to wait and see if I have any reactions over the next 72 hours, so far so good. It's sunny outside, the first time in a couple of days, and my first thought, even though today is not my run day, is that it would be a great day to go for a run...I think I may just go ahead and go for a run. 
02/26 -213.6 Didn't go for a run yesterday. Personal trainer tonight.
02/27 -212.7 Went to trainer last night, I was so exhausted at the end of the session. My hope is to go running and/or yoga tonight. So far no adverse reaction to the eggs I ate almost 3 days ago.

2/23 - 133.2 - yesterday at calorie goal, 8K steps.
2/24 - 134.2 - Yesterday over calorie goal and didn't even log
but, got 16K steps in spite of driving 300 miles, a number of those steps in short .25 to .5 runs with the dog.
2/25 - 135.6 - exhausted and mostly sedentary yesterday, 5K steps. Overate, didn't even log. Tried a 10 minute row but that was all I had. Today, up again and take another. There is a reason that Oliver Goldsmith quote is at the top of my posts.
2/26 - 133.8 - yesterday under my calorie goal, 8K steps. Raining hard in NorCal!
2/27 - 133.0 - yesterday under calories and: rainsoaked walk-run with dog, 27 minute row, and a body-weight strength workout, 8K steps total.
Unfortunately left me in a place where the office break-table breakfast looked better than mine, so I already have eaten over half my calorie allowance in one stupid Costco muffin, WHO KNEW?!?!?
Live and learn .......

I'm trying to learn to love my treadmill again and start up the c25k running plan. There's a 5k I could participate in
at the end of May. It's good for me to have exercise goals too.
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 197.2 it really does help to exercise and not eat late at night 😄. Good start for the next ten days but the weekend is coming up and I have plans to eat out tomorrow and the husband is home this weekend, we are on opposite scales of eating, I just need to stay disciplined. Happy weekend all!!
02/23 198.8 expected. My Friday cheat day I really took advantage of and no exercise.
02/24 200.8 hopefully I got all my junk eating out of the way. Back on track today already this morning with my smoothie. ☺️
02/25 201.8. Ok, still paying for my bad choices this weekend, but it’s Monday!! Back on track, for real.
02/26 199.4. Going back in the right direction! It was hard not having a dessert last night (I did have a couple spoons of cool whip 🙃) the sugar cravings are really strong at night again.
02/27 199.2 I little loss, I’m not going to make my goal for this round if I don’t get my butt in gear. There’s too much going on after work this week so I’ve been thinking I need to have a morning routine that includes exercise but I hate getting up any earlier than I have to in the morning. Ugh! It’s all in my head, I just need to believe it’s worth it because this weight isn’t going anywhere without exercise. I can set exercise goals too and that doesn’t matter either, the excuses are bigger! Ok. That’s the end of my whining 😬
