First round! I'd like to track 10,000 steps a day on my Fitbit, go to the gym on the days I have it on my schedule, and average a little under my calorie goals to help fit in any unexpected treats/beers. A 2lb loss would be great!

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!

Day/Weight/Comment

3/24 - 174.8 (FR) - 44g carbs, 36g net carbs. Carbs were: CRACKERS!, dill pickle, olives, celery in tuna, peanut butter, eggs. Yesterday was my last day of the 2 week 12/12 IF protocol. I will do it again if I think it's necessary, but only for one week. Week 1, I was definitely hungry at the end of the 12 hr fast. Week 2, I did not feel hungry until the 15th hour. My body was beginning to reset itself to my normal 18 to 20 hours of fasting.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/23 …..189.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

03/24 ….. 188.0….. I had so much paperwork to do / catch up on when I got home. Not much movement/just more & more sitting but following WOE well. I handled cravings after travel surprisingly well. Yesterdays stats: 1069 Calories In / 2049 Calories Out. 12 Net Carbs. 8,199 Total Steps & 3.48 Total Miles. IF 12:12. Had 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 21 minutes. My only exercise was 10 minutes on elliptical. Today is my busiest work day (all the check-outs after the weekend here at the motel & cabins). I will easily get my steps in. Tonight I will have a movie night with my son. He & his Autism is the whole reason I have stayed in this barren & unforgiving town. I miss living closer to the city life! I’ve been here 21 years now. When I first moved here I had my mother, many aunts & uncles & cousins that I trusted to watch my son or be an emotional support. Hey, to be a work at home mom (with this small business opportunity) allowed me to get early educational & medical intervention for him, so this whole thing was a great idea at the time & it worked! He is doing so well, all things considering. But my mother passed away 14 years ago & every single aunt & uncle have also passed. My son graduated high school almost 4 years ago. I feel like I have little reason to stay in this exact spot. Feeling trapped some days. Job doesn’t feel as rewarding as it once did. My other kids & grandkids (who have all grown up here) are married & solidly living here so it is hard to leave. I have a lot to think about in the next couple of years. What I really want to do is be out there in Vegas with @quiltingjaine . I am coming up on age 59 so I can retire soon, but property is hard to sell here because the population is so low. Trying to keep my chin up & find my way out of this mess. BTW. I own another motel & cabin operation nearby that I bought in 2008. . I bought it to place my oldest daughter in (she manages it) so she could be that work at home mom too. Have I dug myself a hole I can’t get out of? I guess time will tell. Sorry for the rant. I guess I just wanted to finish my story that I started last round. There was definitely a plan & a need when I got to this one horse town & I will forever be grateful for what it has done for my family and my son. It is a beautiful place & a kind, loving, forgiving place and it has been great to raise my children here. Thanks for listening & expressing an interest in my story via your emails . Good luck everyone on this round. If I can stay away from the city I will see some weight loss I’m sure! 2 days out of town scheduled for this round that I know of. Day Trips. I will try to stay strong.

@deepwoodslady Sounds like you're on the verge of contemplating a new chapter. If you can find a buyer (possibly your adult children who already manage the other property?), you woyld be free to pursue your own dreams in this new season of life. Maybe in a condo in a fun city. I hope you get that opportunity after so many years of selflessly giving to your family. Hugs to you.

Round 72 (my 2nd) Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 152.6 This makes 5.2 down since I started this challenge, and 2.8 down overnight! Now that's the week 1 whoosh I'd hoped for and never got. I exercised and ate some calories back, had my usual ice cream bar and even three squares of caramel dark chocolate yesterday! I also looked up the calories in my favorite bakery cookies and discovered to my horror that each one has over 500 calories! I used to eat several in the course of a day. Maybe I can have one occasionally on maintenance, but I am so glad I'm not blindly stuffing my face now!

I feel like tracking on MFP has revealed that holy grail of successful weight loss: moderation. I'm finally empowered to enjoy treats in moderation, guilt-free. Other big lessons so far: I must practice patience (this is all gonna go way more slowly than I'd like!), and I can't freak out when the numbers on the scale go up or plateau. It's all part of this nonlinear process.

My original goal weight for this round was 153.8, but I'm lower than that today, so I've revised the goal to be 151.8. That's only 1 lb in the next 10 days, slow and steady.

@AR10at50 Karen, where is your weeklong retreat?

@tiabirdie56 Tish, are you working back to a longer fasting period? I have gotten away from that for some reason.

@deepwoodslady Donna, I would love having you out here but think your cabins sound delightful - not for working maybe but quiet and beautiful.

@Hilogirl2018 May I suggest leaving your goal where you had it in anticipation of the almost inevitable bounces? Exceed your original goal rather than possibly setting yourself up for perceived failure. Remember 1.5-2# per week is a reasonable loss.

I made my trend line goal!!! 🤸‍♀️
Saturday was so lovely. My parents came down and brought my grandpa and their elderly basset hound, Molly. At this point I do think I want to gain weight or maintain so I gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted. Spicy guacamole cheeseburger was delicious! I ate half and my side was a Cesar salad instead of fries. And I drank half my beer. We walked around the creek with Molly since it was a perfect day and then had frozen yogurt. I didn't hold back on the toppings! After they left I plugged everything in to MFP, I had eaten 2,044 calories! Welcome to maintenance! Haha. But I was over my goal so when I went out dancing Saturday night I vowed to "stay sober", I.e. no liquid calories. And according to my Fitbit (and my scale apparently) my exercise calories ended up evening it all out! Yay! Victory!
