🦋🌸🌷Day/Weight/Comment🌷🌸🦋
04/03 171.6 Good morning everyone! I took a much needed rest day yesterday. I'm working today and getting in an upper body workout tonight. Make today a good one!
04/04 172.6 Hmm I was on track with calories and macros and I did get an upper body workout. Had lots of water. Sleep was poop though.
04/05 172.4 I feel like I'm retaining water this morning. That time is coming up in just a few days. I'm so ready for the weekend!
04/06 172 It was such a nice day at work yesterday! For the first time in a long time I didn’t feel super stressed. Then I came home and got in a Fitness Blender Workout and had a relaxing evening at home. So good!
04/07 172 I had a pretty nice day yesterday. We were going to go to a parade but it was windy and rainy so we decided against it. Today, it's church and getting some things done around home.
I was super hungry yesterday. I'm due to start any day now, so I'm trying an experiment! I'm going to eat at maintenance for a couple of days and see how that goes.
04/08 172.6 Not bad considering TOM started! I probably picked the wrong time to eat at maintenance. I did it yesterday, but it was surprisingly difficult. My appetite wasn't as big as the day before. So I'm back to normal today. Happy Monday everyone, let's make this a great week!
04/09 173.2 I'm thinking this is a combination of Sunday and time of month. I'm hoping to at least end this challenge where I started it!

Yesterday was great for activity, but I had a hard time eating all my calories. I think I want to stay in a ~200 calorie deficit Monday-Friday to give me more wiggle room on the weekend.

By the time I got home from work yesterday at 6:30 I was so tired that I was asleep by 7:30. So I didn't eat enough calories but I did get 9 1/2 hours of sleep!
I'm going to a wine etiquette event for young professionals tonight. I am really looking forward to it and having the wiggle room to enjoy the wine and food. I just have to remind myself it takes 3,500 excess calories to put on a pound of fat. So I have no need to worry every time I go to an event that I'm going to blow myself out of maintenance. If the rain stops early I'll go for a jog before I head out for the night

Yesterday I forgot to put my fitbit back on so no step data. And this morning I couldn't weigh first thing, as I was sleeping over at a friend's house. So the weight I posted is after a big breakfast sandwich and 3 cups of coffee. I'm surprised it's not more but I think I'm pretty dehydrated, so I'll probably see a jump tomorrow 😂. Either way I didn't put it in my trend line app because I don't want to distort the data, so no trend today. Onward and upward!
04/07 133.8 t = ?

Still no trend data as I didn't sleep at home again last night and that weight is from just now (4:00pm! So again I didn't put it in my app). I cannot believe my weight is this low, but the scale has fresh batteries. And yesterday was crazy food-wise, that's why I didn't even log, although I plan on doing so later today just to keep my streak going. After the big breakfast sandwich I had steak and potatoes for lunch-dinner, then at the movies I had a whole box of junior mints, then when I got home I had a brownie sundae. I guess this is what maintenance feels like. Stable weight, with insane food variances. Today I have eaten very little which I think also contributes. It's so nice to be in a place of not having to insane in my food control and allowing for the space to enjoy life.
I feel really grateful for this group. If it wasn't for JGM10D, I wouldn't have had the courage to weigh myself today and this could have turned into a *screw it* day, where I just eat every thing. But this group not only keeps me accountable, it got me in the habit of reading the forums daily which led me to reading how the long time maintainers orient their lives.

Yay for meeting activity goals yesterday!
Now for what needs improvement: I am now well out of my goal range so I need to reorient my maintenance plan. Last week I purposely ate about 100-200 cals under maintenance to bank calories for the weekend (thinking I would have a weekend gain), but I lost weight while not tracking. So now I need to go back to making an effort to eat more. It's challenging to change my mode of thinking in terms of calories and deficit, but I don't want to lose anymore weight. Today my goal is to eat 2000 calories!

Female, age 41, 5'6"
SW - 150.1 (starting on 3/25)
Ending weight round 72 - 145.3
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's
Goal for round 73 - drop 1 pound. I know the big drop in round 72 was a lot of bloat/water weight since it was my first one. I want to lose at a realistic pace for my current weight. 1 lb every 10 days is sustainable and I have a better chance of keeping it off.
4/3 - 146.2. Well, that stinks. Starting the challenge up. Wins yesterday - squeezed in a weight lifting session even though I didn’t think I would have time (traveled yesterday). Lots of areas for improvement though. Went over my calorie goal thanks to eating out and TOM cravings. Didn’t drink enough water. Goal for today - do not graze all day! I’m working from home and tend to eat all day since I’m close to the kitchen and no one else is home.
4/4 - 146.6 UGH. Wins yesterday - 45 min bodycombat class and long dog walk. That's about it. Didn't drink enough water, had a mini-binge late afternoon. Not a full on binge as I've been known to do, but enough that I went well over my calorie goal. I don't know if it's the restriction/binge cycle popping back up (full disclosure - I've had that issue in the past which is why I took a long break from MFP. After a few weeks of tracking I see it as a restriction and I rebel and binge), or if it's TOM issues, or a little of both. I'm working in the office today so hopefully I'll stick to the food I brought to work. No temptation of my own kitchen like yesterday. Will work on hydration and not bingeing today.
4/5 - 145.9 back in the right direction at least but still over last round’s ending weight. makes me nervous heading into the weekend but I hope it motivates me to focus. Wins yesterday: 45 min RPM class, long dog walk, hydrated well, did not binge, slept well. Area for improvement today - stay within calorie goal. Proud of no bingeing but I was over calorie goal a bit. Working from home again today so I need to stay away from the kitchen.
4/6 - 145.5. Trending down again so that’s good. I’m surprised actually. Wins yesterday - Zumba and a dog walk, hydrated well, slept well. I went over calories and snacked more than I should (which is why I’m surprised the number went down!). I’m going out to dinner with friends tonight. Goal is to not go overboard. Keep up with calories and water intake the rest of the day so dinner doesn’t push me too far over.
4/7 - 144.4. Hello whoosh! Surprised since I went out to dinner last night. But I stayed on plan. Wins yesterday: super hard HIIT class (cardio and weights), didn’t overdo it at a restaurant last night, enjoyed time with friends. Don’t think I drank enough water.
4/8 - 144.0. Pleasantly surprised at another drop! Lowest weight I’ve been in over a year. Wins yesterday: hydrated well, long dog walk and a yoga class, tracked all food. Goal today is to have another day like that where I fully track and stay conscious of my food choices.
4/9 144.4. Back up a little, not horrible but sad to see a little uptick. Wins yesterday: 4.4 mile run (ran for time instead of distance, so 40 minutes), pretty good hydration, got a decent night's sleep, tracked all my food. Areas for improvement: could hydrate better. And most importantly, I snacked too much and went over my calorie goal. The fatigue of tracking and that "restriction" feeling is hitting me this morning so I'm working through. I'm telling myself how much better I feel after losing these few pounds over the last month and that it will all be worth it.

Day 7
04/03: 184.6 lb. Feeling good about this because last week was a rough week in terms of food consumed. Going to walk on a treadmill this morning and have already planned my food for the day.
04/04: 183.4 lb. Wow! After a straight stressful day at work yesterday and only just meeting my calorie goal on my Garmin, I did not expect this. I am sure some of it is bloat/water, but that is encouraging. I’m working from home today so I will need to be mindful of not snacking in the pantry and sticking to my normally packed snacks for the office. I am also looking forward to my strength workout tonight.
04/05: 183.6 lb. Definitey not bad to be almost status quo from yesterday. I drank a lot of water yesterday (160 oz) and did an intense strength workout. I’m working from home again today and planning on a cardio session tonight at the gym. We are going out tomorrow to a brewery or two with some friends, so I’m not going to eat out tonight like I normally do.
04/06: 183.0 lb. Today’s mantra is going to be moderation. I am going to set a goal for myself to only have one beer at each brewery (or samples equivalent to one drink) today, and plenty of water. I am going to do a lower body workout this morning so that I at least have some exercise minutes to add for the day. I’m also setting the expectation that if my number goes up tomorrow on the scale, that it’s okay and that I’ve had a great week so far overall. Happy Saturday!
04/07: 184.6lb. Honestly, I thought it was going to be much higher, so this was a welcomed number. I stuck to my plan of only having two beers going out yesterday, even though there were waffles, empanadas, and other snacks at the breweries. It’s my rest day today so I took my dog for a long walk this morning and I’ll be sticking to my food plan today for my calories. Spin class tomorrow, so hoping to see a whoosh soon.
We’re at the halfway point!
04/08: 185.4 lb Umm... scale, you okay? I feel bloated today so I’m wondering if I’m retaining water. I didn’t drink my normal amount of water yesterday, so that could be it. I won’t let it bother me because my body is sore from my great workouts last week, and I have spin class tonight. Happy Monday!
04/09: 185.2 lb Going back in the right direction after a terrible binge of Cadbury mini eggs and skipping spin. I thought this number was going to skyrocket but was happy to see it down from yesterday. Back on track today. Started the morning with a 2.10 mile walk with my dog using the Zombies, Run! app, and will do arms and shoulders tonight.

04/03 184.8 the restart woosh
04/04 183.8 the woosh continued!
04/05 182.6 one of the pluses about having kids on the spectrum is that there are worries other parents have that you don't have. Yesterday DS turned 19, legal drinking age here. We had sushi, one glass of wine and some chocolate cake then we went for a long walk. So I burned off all the cake calories, and at the end of the night I knew where he was, safe and sound in his own home talking about video games with his brother.
04/06 183.6 mea culpa - did the stress eating thing again - back on track today started with a workout
04/07 184.4 that's Ok Unexpected visit from out of town family and dinner at a french restaurant. Skipped the wine but did share DH's creme brulee (a rare indulgence and totally worth it) no more special events now until Easter.
04/08 DNW woke up late and forgot to weigh
04/09 185.4 Wrong direction! long walk with DS last night and a workout this morning so hopefully a better number tomorrow.

4/5 - 182.7 - Still hanging around here. Waiting on my whoosh! I couldn't do any hour long walks this week due to making up hours at work. Hope to get a little walk in this evening and can't wait to get back in my normal routine next week. Think it will help a lot.
4/6 - 181.5! Woosh. Lifting weights. Maybe a streaming spin workout on the bike?
4/7 - 181.7 - Fixed up my bike and did 5 miles at the park. + Dog walk.
4/8 - 180.7 - Lifting weights at lunch and then yoga tonight.
4/9 - 180.3 - Woke up at 5:30am to ride my bike because I can't walk over lunch today. Can't believe I actually made it out of bed to workout. Lol. But the bike thing is new and fun for now, so I'm going with it. Water consumption has not been great so I'm really trying to increase that.

04/03 177.7 I have been around the same weight for more than 2 months. My exercise is better than it's ever been in my life. I haven't been over calories more than 3 or 4 days in that time period. It makes no sense to me. I feel like a fraud when people mention my weight loss. I want to scream yes, I was doing very well but now I'm seriously stuck. My stress level isn't particularly higher than any other time. I'm traveling a lot for work, but no more than I did last year. I'm getting as much sleep and water as I was before. Really I can't figure out what's changed. It's like I hit the midway point and my body said - nope this is good enough for you.
04/04 179.9 I know I didn't gain 2 pounds overnight. I did the circuit training for an hour, came home to work in the yard for an hour. I had a salad and a bowl of soup for dinner. My calorie goal is now 1640 and I came in at 1556. I didn't even hit my calorie goal much less eat back any workout calories. I've had a little cold for a week or so, maybe that's something. I woke up a little achy all over I wasn't sure if it was the cold or the yard work, which uses different muscles than the gym apparently. I felt like giving up when I saw that number this morning. To hell with it all, let's go get pancakes and bacon for breakfast. Instead I came to work and had oatmeal. I'll have a sensible sandwich and some veggies for lunch. Blah blah blah What's that they say about insanity... doing the same things over and over again expecting a different result.
EDIT: Obviously feeling sorry for myself. I apologize for the whining.
04/05 176.4 Three and a half pounds gone in one day. Whoosh! I am sorry I am such a downer lately, it's just so frustrating. I got some other news that might make a difference as well. The app I use, Mapmyfitness, updated the way they calculate calorie burns and it's considerably lower. I hope this makes a difference. Maybe speed things up. I got in 4 fast miles yesterday (fast for me 1:05). I've also been doing a plank challenge. Five minutes in 30 days. Last night was 40 seconds, tonight 50 seconds. I don't think it burns many calories but it can't hurt either.
04/06 174.2 Whoosh again! You know you’ve been retaining water when you lose 5.7 pounds in two days. I had a short walk yesterday and an hour in the yard. Winter did a number on my old trees; I had an estimate of $700 to clean it up. Instead I’ll clean it up and burn calories!!!
04/07 174.5 I’m happy with that. I worked in the yard for 4 hours yesterday, I was exhausted last night. Ate well within calories and had a good day. I was hoping to spend another couple of hours but it rained like crazy last night. It’s going to be too muddy to do much.
04/08 176.2 My sodium was in check yesterday though I ate at maintenance. I got in a 3.5 mile walk and assume this little jump will go away soon. I do have a four hour drive tomorrow, if the weather holds out I'll get a good walk on the pretty trail. Instead of going to the gym today I think I'm going to work in the yard. I don't have 4 hours of work left but I could probably get in 2 or 3 without too much trouble.
04/09 175.8 Back down a little. I did work in the yard for almost 2 hours but then had to run an errand and didn't get back to it. It's a beautiful beautiful day and I'm really looking forward to my walk along the river half way thru the drive. Happy sunny Tuesday to everyone.

04/03 187.5 Whooooo Hooooo! down 2 from yesterday
04/04 188.4 not surprised, I really didn't feel well, and did not eat enough on the 2nd, so yesterday's weight was a lot. I did discover lettuce wraps this week ( i know I am late to the party... but YUM! )

04/08 187.8... good
04/09 185.8 I am not sure that this loss will stay. I am at the end of a challenge at work, so I thought I would try keeping my carbs below 30 for a few days. It worked, but I don't I want to do it full time... I will get there with what I have been doing.

Round 73
Please join us! Starting on 04/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 73
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

@amn0619 If exercise and restriction fatigue is setting in, maybe consider a short break after this round? Up your calories to maintainance, ease off the exercise for 2 days or so? FWIW, you're doing great!7

10 DAY GOALS: Planning to (1) log everything carefully over the next 10 days with 1200-1400 range (2) eat noon to 8 pm most days (3) Try to boost TDEE with small daily movements to achieve 2000 steps daily (I'm disabled and I often get less than 1000 per day)

UGW: 123
GW for this round:151
***ROUND 73 (my 3rd)***Day/Weight/Comment
SW this round (4/02): 153
04/03 153 Off to a strong start! Yesterday I ate well, though I continue to struggle with meeting my protein goal of 60 grams. I'm always under. It's hard on just 1200 calories! How much that affects my fat loss, I don't know. Tomorrow I predict I'll be up by a few due to fast food meals with a lot of sodium...
04/04 153.6 I'll focus on the positive first: I made my step goal yesterday. Don't laugh when you read this- I did 2000 steps. You read that right. I have mobility issues and I'm usually at 1000 or less, so this was an accomplishment for me! Now for the negative...oh, wait, it's not as bad as I predicted! Only up by 0.6 lbs. Whew!
04/05 152.6 I did 3,267 steps yesterday just walking around the house more, and I'm so proud of myself. I got to eat grilled cheese and tomato basil soup with my family last night by tracking portions (half the sandwich, butter measured carefully, measured amount of soup).
I feel like I'm going to be successful this time because I'm doing 3 things in conjunction I've never done before: (1) weighing DAILY, (2) logging every bite and sticking to my calories DAILY, (3) giving and getting support from the MFP community DAILY. Oh, and perhaps equally important: (4) I'm being patient and forgiving, trusting the process enough not to freak out and give up if I stall or gain. This is a mindset shift, not a diet!
04/06 155.4 Per yesterday's insight, trying not to freak out. Had a lot of trouble eating enough yesterday, and didn't eat quality foods (cheeseburger, pizza, ice cream). Loaded with sodium. I know. Not at all balanced. Because I'm IFing, it is *sometimes* difficult to get in the junk plus the healthier stuff that would provide more balance and nutrients. The solution is obvious- eat the good stuff first, then add in treats if there's room, right? Better yet, skip the junk. I'll get there. But I'm not there yet. I've always gone extreme cold turkey in the past and burned out. This time, I'm focusing on not going over my calories, drinking tons of water, and moving more. The healhier foods will come eventually.
04/07 154.6 It was a slightly better eating day. Lunch was at a sub shop, dinner was BLTs with avocado (btw, my meatball sub sandwich was gross and I didn't even want to finish it, but I'd already accounted for it- anyone else ever make this mistake?). I was doing okay with my higher number on the scale until I realized from my MFP progress graph that it was the same weight as TWO WEEKS AGO. A real stall! I guess with all the bobbing up and down, I hadn't realized. Boooo. So then I felt super discouraged, but my MFP friends saved the day and gave me some great advice and encouragement. Two big takeaways: If I keep doing this, I'll be thrilled a year from now (strategy #4 from 4/05 check-in above) and I should be taking measurements to chart progress as well.
04/08 155.2 Managed a Beachbody workout yesterday, did not make my step goal of 2000 steps. Family went for a dozen donuts plus donut holes. Donuts are the one food I'd say I have zero self control with, and...let's just leave it at that. Today is a new day. Maybe it'll average out by the end of this round, though I'm farther from my R 73 goal of 151 than ever. I'm going to revise my goal to 153, my starting weight for this round. Four days until the last weigh in, I can do this!
04/09 154.4 All right, I feel back on track. I did 3500 steps yesterday, most at a moderate walking pace. Tracked my calories well, and I am on target for this week's calorie cycling experiment. Sunday's slide into donutland didn't set me back by a week- I'm truly making those famously important "lifestyle changes" I've always heard about!

04/03--211.6 Great workout with trainer yesterday. Yoga tonight. I'm also supposed to go out and do a 2 mile run, but there is rain in the forecast and I hate running on a treadmill...whether I go out for a run will be a last minute decision.
04/04--211.4 Rain held out yesterday so I was able to go out for a run. Worked out with trainer tonight.
04/05--211.2 About 1 year ago my husband promised to take dance lessons with me. For the past year he has tried to get out of his promise, but I recently found an intro 4 week dance class that I thought would be perfect for us because it's only 4 weeks and we get to learn a different dance every week. My husband agreed to take the class and tonight is our first lesson...we'll see how it goes.
04/06--210.7 Well last night's dance lesson was great. My husband was chewing at his lip for about the first 15 minutes of lesson, it was definitely out of his comfort zone, but he did loosen up. At one point I even heard him tell a woman who had rotated as his new partner that she had much warmer hands than his wife. Last night's lesson was the rumba and he did promise that he would practice during the week. It was nice to go out and do something different. Went out for a 3 mile run today.
04/07--211.2 Weightlifting at gym today. In-laws came over today and we went out for lunch. I chose something to fit in my calories, but ate some extra snacks while they were over at our house so I expect it to show up on the scale tomorrow. Going to drink some more water today.
04/08--211.6 I don't think I'm out of the woods yet with the scale after yesterday's eating, but I'm back on track today. Run tonight...hopefully it won't be raining.
04/09--210.3 Did not go out for a run yesterday. Even though I had a headache I still felt guilty about not going out to run, but when I heard the thunder and pouring rain outside soon after I got home from work I didn't feel guilty anymore. I did some extra snacking last night, the first time in a long time, but I did drink a lot of water yesterday to help with my lack of water over the weekend. Hubby agreed that tonight we should practice our dancing. Trainer tonight.

My Round 1 after restart, Round 20 total
Day/Weight/Comment
4/3 161.8 First day back on track officially, thanks to my husband for leading the way. It's been an emotional 2019 but I can only control myself and only change myself, so here goes! It took me 4 months last time to lose 15 lbs, lets make this even better. I know the cycle doesn't start until tomorrow, but I am tired of postponing so here I am right now.
4/4 161.8 Have my day planned out, started with a 20 minute meditation, then walked the dogs with my child. Ate breakfast and logged it, will have a light lunch and early dinner. Yesterday was an emotional throw in the towel day but I'm back on track today.
4/5 160.8 Good day yesterday, met my goals. Today's goals Meditate 20 min, walk with my child and dogs, deliver work stuff, stay on course with my eating. Grateful that I have this resource to come back to and for the accountability.
4/6 161.4 Headachey but that's good I know I am detoxing from all the sugar and empty calories I have been indulging in. Had a good day yesterday.
4/7 160.8 Got through the migraine yesterday relatively unscathed, did not resort to food to cure it, so that was a success. Today is my oldest son's birthday, we are going to Lucille's BBQ, and I am looking forward to the celebration. It's been since January that our family has been on a self imposed hibernation. Things are beginning to look a little brighter.

Day/Weight/10-day Calorie Ave/Comment
04/03 - 151 - 10-day ave 1807
Well, harumph. My 10-day ave came down slighty, but yesterday I did have a series of snack attacks - big blueberry muffin + way too many nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews) + 2 Reese's PB cups. Not all at once! No, I spread my indulgences all through the day.
Anyway, I'm off for blood work to recheck my inflammation levels and then for a long outdoor walk and then the gym for weights. And grocery for snacky veggies. And I need to drop the habit of eating while I write (I'm a writer/author and have a bad inclination to eat while I work). Gaaa! I really don't know what's gotten into me - it's been 4 years since I started this journey in earnest and I was definitely "in remission" re. sugar and simple carbs and just plain over eating. One thin I can do is go to the library to work - no food allowed! But also no coffee or water.... Anyway, today is another new beginning, right? Right.
04/04 - 151.6 - 10-day ave 1787; 7-day ave 1852
Yesterday was a very good day - some exercise, calories in line, macros good, low sugar, no stupid snacking....all good. So this increase is due to 3 crazy high-calorie days out of the past 6. But I feel finally that I'm really back at it - maybe I needed a blow out to find my way back.
04/05 - 151.2 - 10-day ave 1758, 7-day ave 1694
Good news for me - yesterday I had blood work to measure inflammation, which I've been fighting for the past 10 months. One measure is now in the normal range, the other just barely over. They were both VERY high last fall. I refused to take prednisone long term, despite a lot of pressure from doctors, and I attribute the improvement to regular exercise and to working toward optimum (rather than "within reference range") levels of vitamins D3, K2, B12, and magnesium. I'm relieved and more hopeful about resolving this for good in the next few months. Oh, and my pain has diminished a lot. Yay!
04/06 - 151.4 - 10-day ave 1770; 7-day ave 1719
Well, doesn't look like I'll make my half-round goal tomorrow. Sigh. I'm tempted to go back to the elimination diet - I eliminated pounds on it last summer! We'll see.
04/07 - 151.6 - 10-day ave 1979
Ate within bounds and went for an hour+ walk yesterday. All is well even if I’m not losing yet.
04/08 - 151.8 - 10-day ave 1953
Darn it. But it makes sense since my average is still too high. That's fine, what goes up must come down!

@meljoemom You asked if you had to set a goal. No, that is up to you. If you do, it doesn’t have to be a weight loss goal. Perhaps just logging in every day, weighing daily or logging what you eat. This is a super supportive group. Weight loss is different for everyone and not linear. There will be bounces and stalls and whooshes. If you do set a weight loss goal, make it reasonable. You will not lose 25# in 10 days. At what is considered a reasonable rate of 1.5-2# per week, you could lose roughly between 2-3# in 10 days. When you first make big changes, you lose quickly-mostly water weight. When you have a bad eating day, it may take 2-3 days to show in the scale. Sorry this is so long. It’s only part of the knowledge I have gained from a lifetime of dieting. I no longer DIET. I have found a way of eating that, for me, is sustainable. I will continue for as long as I am on this planet.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.12 -

4/3 - 174.6 - 175.4 is the right weight, abs workout yesterday. - 43g carbs, 41g net carbs. Carbs were: fried chicken, cabbage, grain free granola.
4/4 - 174 - 37g carbs, 28g net carbs. Carbs were: mexican squash w/vidalia onions (so tasty, but so carby!) peanut butter. Lots of stretching needed today from glute workout. 🙀yow!
4/5 - 176.8 - Probably 175.8 I drank 16ozs of water just before weighing. Still holding fluid from butt and leg workout. Muscles are still on a low hum😃 My knee told me, unh-unh yesterday, so no walk. It was feeling unstable. Stretching and balance exercises accomplished. Raining today, but if it doesn't pour down, I may go for a walk in it. 40g carbs, 29g net carbs. Carbs were: cauliflower, peanut butter, mexican squash w/vidalia onions.
4/6 - 175.8 - 30g carbs, 24g net carbs. Carbs were: peanut butter, salad, salad dressing.
4/7 - 177.4 - Not surprised. I was not hungry for my first meal until the 19 hour mark (2pm) I don't fast on Saturdays. I did an arm and shoulder workout at 10:30pm and felt hungry afterwards. So I ate again at 12am! 51g carbs, 50g net carbs. Carbs were: crackers, green juice, grain free granola.
4/8 - 178- 85g carbs. Carbs were: everything I ate contributed to my carb count. I broke my fast at 2:30pm and "dinner" was 2 brownies.
4/9 - 178.2 - Don't want to see this number, but I have to exercise! Another late evening workout. Not much cardio yet, only what my knee allows, as I stretch and strengthen the supporting muscles. I am seeing improvements 😀 24g carbs, 17g net carbs. Carbs were: peanut butter, pumpkin seeds, cauliflower, green beans.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/02 …..191.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/03 …..189.6 ….. Those bits & pieces of calorie deficit & low carb each day finally added up to over a pound loss on the scale. Now I just need to stay focused. 1059 Calories In/2865 Calories Out. 8 Net Carbs. 17,881 Total Steps with a busy work day & a planned long walk. 8.56 Total Miles. IF 12:12 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 54 minutes. I took a long moderately paced walk totaling 150 minutes. I did not eat back my 717 Calorie burn for the walk. Another busy day at work. I must take the time to pre-plan my food so I don’t “grab & go”. That always ends in a nighttime binge & an overall disaster. Not today, nope, not today. Determined.
04/04 …..188.8 ….. More improvement. Such a busy work day yesterday with no time for planned exercise, but I was on my feet a lot for sure! Today will be even busier. I started spring cleaning in one of the cabins. EVERYTHING comes out, including furniture. Wall washing today! Yesterday’s stats: 1234 Calories In / 2601 Calories Out. 13,188 Total Steps & 5.58 Total Miles. IF 12:12 . Today I will go back to 16:8 in fasting as I was working on a metabolism reset. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 13 minutes. Yesterday was another good eating day which paid off!
04/05 …..189.8 ….. Just not good at all. Worked physically hard yesterday but mostly not a lot of walking. Spring cleaning a cabin which I will complete today. Horrible stats for yesterday due to a binge late night. Best estimate on MFP food journal: 2340 Calories In / 2549 Calories out. 201 Net Carbs. 10,130 Total Steps & 4.31 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 6 minutes which was probably a sugar crash. This is how it works & no amount of wishful thinking or regret can change it. Only I can through my actions. I’ll never give up.
04/06 …..189.8 ….. It comes off so much slower than it goes on! Holding steady thankfully after a late dinner out with son. I had a heavy work day again with little chance to exercise. Today I take my DGSs for their hair appointments & lunch. Tomorrow one of them has a birthday. I’ve got to get through these next two days without much damage so I will try to stay on high alert. Yesterdays stats: 1473 Calories In / 2471 Calories Out. 145 Net Carbs. 13,461 Total Steps & 5.7 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 37 minutes. Did elliptical for 16 minutes but exhausted from work day. Have a nice weekend everyone!
04/07 …..189.8 ….. It’s stubborn but so am I. I didn’t expect much movement after spending most of the day with my DGSs & my son yesterday but I enjoyed my time. Yesterday’s stats: 1850 Calories In/ 2123 Calories Out. Best guesstimate is 120 Net Carbs. 8,043 total steps & 3.4 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 38 minutes. I hope you all had a wonderful Sunday. I attended my DGSs 11th birthday party & enjoyed more family time.
04/08 …..190.0 ….. A slight tick up but not bad considering I attended a food driven birthday party for my DGS. I am learning more control in the social situations. Not where I want to be yet, but an improvement. Yesterday’s stats: Best Guesstimates on food: 2257 Calories In / 2610 Calories Out. 176 Net Carbs. 14,446 Total Steps & 6.11 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 57 minutes. I danced for 47 minutes last night. Sample song “Shakin” by Eddie Money. Today will be better & I will be 100% on track & I couldn’t be happier about that!
04/09 …..190.0 ….. 1829 Calories In / 2579 Calories Out. 126 Net Carbs. Peanut butter toast & milk got the best of me. 14,367 Total Steps & 6.08 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I fell asleep exhausted & slept 5 hours & 58 minutes. I could have used even more sleep. I took a short 22 minute walk & enjoyed the sun a bit yesterday. Otherwise, it was a heavy work day & today will be heavy too. I’ve got to tighten my belt if I expect to see change!

Thank you. I ALWAYS gain on the weekend. This weekend I went out to eat with my daughter and then a beautiful 5 mile walk. Afterward, I could not get enough water so I drank and drank and drank. I'm sure the gain is mostly water and if things go as usual, it will come off just in time for the weekend, lol8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
04/03 153.3
04/04 153.2, need to be better about tracking food. I am good for breakfast and lunch and then at night I forget to log and weigh.
04/05 152.6, back at my lowest weight. Hope to be able to stay in the 152s through Monday.
04/06 153.3, back up but know it was from lasagna and caeser salad yesterday. Sodium was much higher than usual, but will make sure to be at 100 oz today of water and hopefully will be back down by Monday
04/07 153, ate well yesterday and exercised for 70 minutes on amt machine. Going to a basketball game tonight so weight might be more tomorrow, but going to enjoy the game!
04/08 152.8, feeling confident I can end this round in a loss. I know I might see an uptick over the next couple of days for some of my choices yesterday, but had a such a great time last night!
04/09 152.8, usually I see a gain 1-2 days after a splurge so I’m very happy to see this number again. Hopefully will see it tomorrow, but again wouldn’t be upset if it goes up a bit. I don’t have any event planned til Easter than will derail me too much
