Hi I’m Karen.
USW-187 Sept. 2018
UGW-135
Goal this round-157

5/3-159-Good way to start the round. I made bad food choices last weekend and did not exercise at all and it took me until Friday to get back in the swing of things. I have been walking my rear off and it’s paying off. I scheduled a massage for this morning and I am glad to be treating myself to it after this loss.
5/4-162-Not much walking and some heavy food. I will get out and do my long walk before I get in the car for the day.
5/5-162-I’ll take it. Traveled to a birthday party and ate cake and other things and thought it would be worse. Have a lovely Sunday.🌸

5/6-161–Not bad after a weekend. I have my work cut out for me.It’s Monday!!!! Let’s get with it!!!!!🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️🚰🌷

I am so glad you are all here.😊☕️

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03: 194.4 (Lost almost 2 pounds overnight and I’ve only gained 2.4 pounds during this diet break which is an awesome feat! Last night I did an upper body strength workout and had a chicken stir fry for dinner. Next Friday weigh in, I’ll be at a deficit so I can’t wait to see how long it takes to lose those pounds.)

05/04: 195.2 (I had a nice date night with the hubby at an Italian restaurant last night. I had a carb heavy pasta which was amazing! Ending the diet break right lol. I also did a 30 minute elliptical workout and a total body strength training workout.)

05/05: 196.2 (An expected gain. I’m enjoying these last couple days of my diet break and my 12 week workout plan that is coming to an end. I did a 60 minute elliptical workout yesterday.)

05/06: 198.4 (The last day of the diet break and I'm so glad it's finally over! I had so many calories because of my 1 hour elliptical workout yesterday so I was trying to eat and by lunch, I was stuffed! Now it's time to go on a deficit! I am off from my working out for 1 week to rest my muscles of a tough workout plan.)

I am close to my target weight having lost most of the lbs I put on over the winter but my real goal is to stop the cycle of weight gain and weight loss that I seem to be trapped in.

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.

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202
Next Goal - 170 I will get there.
Ultimate Goal - 145-150

Round 70 - SW - 179.6 EW- 177.4 - average weight over 10 days - 178.1
Round 71 - SW - 175.4 EW - 178.2 Average weight over 10 days - 178.3
Round 72 - SW - 182.4 EW -180.2 Average weight over 10 days - 179.8
Round 73 - SW - 181.4 EW - 183.2 Average weight over 10 days - 181.3
Round 74 - SW - 181.4 EW - 180.4 - Average weight over 10 days - 181.4
Round 75 - SW - 179.4 EW - 178.2 - Average weight over 10 days - 178.4

May 3 - 175.2 - I started swim lessons last night again. I haven’t been in the water since my last set ended in August. This is a stroke improvement class and this instructor is probably the best I have had. Weight is funnily low today, not sure how much I trust it, but it was nice to see.

May 4 - 179.4 - I don’t believe my scales anymore. I have changed the battery and the fluctuations are still a bit insane. I guess I’ll have to break down and get another one. I was expecting to be a bit up today though because yesterday was not a good eating day.

May 5 - 176.2 - I had a good day yesterday. Stayed within my calorie goals and got a little exercise in.

May 6 - 175.6 - had a good day yesterday calories were a bit over and sugar intake was definitely higher than normal.

Round 76 (my 8th)

Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4
Round70 TL -3.6 pounds 356.4 - 352.8
Round 71 -3.8 pounds 352.8-349
Round 72 -1.8 pounds 349-347.2
Round 73 -3.6 pounds 347.2-343.6
Round 74 -4.4 pounds 343.6-339.2
Round 75 -3.4 pounds 339.2-335.8

OSW 382
RSW 335.8

If all goes well this round I will be within fractions of a pound from a 50 pound loss. My goal this round is to get as close to that marker as possible.

05/03 335.8 Staying the same is fine with me. I had a higher sodium day yesterday and am having back spams since late last night. My energy level is back up, which will be nice once my back lets up.

05/04 334.8 There’s the after tom drop. My back is doing a lot better after a day of tlc and I’ll probably take it easy again today. Today is family movie day and I’m hopeful of limiting or even avoiding the popcorn this time.

05/05 333.8 My usual continued drop after tom, sometimes the whole drop stays, sometimes I have a bounce back up. I guess I’ll see what the next few days bring.

05/06 333 Another nice drop, but trends suggest that I will have a bounce back up in a day or two.

05/03 …..197.4 ….. 1708 Calories In / 2245 Calories Out. 83 Net Carbs. 8243 Total Steps & 3.49 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 45 minutes. I did 14 minutes on my brother’s elliptical (he lives next door). Kitchen remodel still in full swing. No stove, no sinks & I can’t get to the refrigerator well. I moved the microwave to a different location & can warm some frozen dinners from my garage freezer, but the carbs do not fall in line with what I wanted. Otherwise, I am trying to be careful & mindful. What’s done so far in the room is looking fantastic. They will be back on Monday, so at least I can get to my fridge over the weekend. Still no sink or water, but they plugged in the stove for me when they left at 4:30. I hope you all will have a fabulous round. I expect another challenging round for me between the celebrations & the remodel but my jeans were tight putting them on today so I have renewed motivation! I dropped .2 pounds today, could be water, could be worry!  Good luck everyone!


05/04 ….. 196.2….. Whoosh, there it is! Finally the deficits are rearing their LOVELY head! Yesterdays Stats: 1384 Calories In / 2223 Calories out. 29 Net Carbs which included veggies & 4% cottage cheese. An administrative day mostly sitting at the desk. Not much movement which is difficult right now anyway. I can’t get through my kitchen & livingroom with the remodel & I can’t leave so movement will be at a minimum most days. 8407 Total Steps & 3.56 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 50 minutes. Finally I’m off the 3 hour per night streak!!!! Sunny & beautiful today. I hope to get some outside yard work in since the carpenter isn’t coming today. Enjoy your day everyone!


05/05 ….. 195.0….. Yay. I had lots of exercise & movement yesterday & its paying off! Yesterdays Stats: 1283 Calories In / 2551 Calories out. 27 Net Carbs. 15,434 Total Steps & 6.53 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept a glorious 5 hours & 47 minutes which I really needed & I woke up refreshed. I took a short & leisurely 15 minute walk & I worked for 2 hours on yardwork, mainly raking. It’s a beautiful day today.



05/06 ….. 195.0….. Travel Today. I plan on making some good choices but will enjoy my day . Yesterday we met friends at a DQ about 20 miles away & I couldn’t resist a blizzard. I ordered a small & was very careful the rest of the day, so I will do the same today. So far, it did not show up on the scale. Calories In 1840 / Calories Out 2440. 114 Net Carbs. 10,309 Total Steps & 4.36 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my fitbit so I am unsure of sleep hours but it wasn’t much. I just want to say that what I am most thankful for today is that the DQ is 20 miles from me! The blizzard of the month is Cookie Jar & it's amazing. The last thing I'd need is to have DQ right around the corner so I am very grateful. Enjoy your week everyone!

Heck yes I am back! I love this group!
Name: Lauren
Age: 30
Location: California
Height: 5'8

Background -

I have been on the diet/wreckless food abandon cycle since I was 14 years old. It's the classic yo-yo dieter story. This last January I decided to make this the last time I'm losing that same 20 pounds by putting a greater emphasis on maintenance. So when I reached maintenance after round 71 I continued to stick around because this group is what really keeps my head in the game. So thank you all and especially the O.P. grandma Jackie 💜

HW (age 14) - 175 lb
SW Jan 2015 - 165 lb
lost down to 130 then gained back to 140 and within the last 8 months slipped back into bad habits
SW Jan 2019 - 147.5 lb
Maintenance goal range - 132-137 lb

R67-R75 results -

R67 EW = 141 lb; ∆ = -2.2 lb

Having a really hard day. Just feeling emotionally empty. I don't know what's wrong with me, but it's got nothing to do with my weight or food so there's that. I just want to go to bed but I have to go back for a second shift in 3 hours. I'm going to try to take a nap. Thank God it's the weekend tomorrow. Just gotta power through.

05/04 131.6 t = 133
I slept in this morning and feel so much better! My weight being down is probably just reflective of the later weigh in time. I have not been doing my yoga so my goal for today is to do one yoga video.

05/05 131 t = 132.9
I slept 11 hours last night because I took a sleep aid. So I assume my weight drop is just water weight as I ate 300 over maintenance calories yesterday, including 100 grams of sour patch kids candy 😂

05/06 133.2 t = 132.9
My weight may be up but my trend is holding strong so no need to fret 🙂
I actually had a great day yesterday, and since my weight has been trending down, I ate what I wanted, but mindfully. I ended up 400 over maintenance, but it's was all good! That's how weekends go! If my weight starts to trend up I will take Swift action 💪

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03--207.6 Lowest weight in about 3 years. Went to trainer yesterday...my trainer complimented me on my strong back, I felt really good. Hubby and I practiced our dancing last night.
05/04--207.6 Going for a run today, The weather is supposed to be great here today so later hubby and I will be taking the dog for a long walk and then going out for dinner.
05/05--207.4 Perfect weather in the PNW yesterday for a run...ran for 4.5 miles. I went out for dinner yesterday and ate something that I have a food sensitivity to so I expect a bump up in the scale over the next couple of days, but I made a conscious decision to eat the food so I'm okay with that. Went to the gym this morning. My husband was impressed that he could see the definition in my shoulder muscles as I was tying my shoes...it's funny how a compliment about something like shoulder muscles could make my day.
05/06--208.5 There's the jump I was expecting. I woke up with a tummy ache and felt heavy, so I knew the weight gain was because of me eating food I was sensitive to, but back to my non-sensitive food eating today. Doctor's appointment today and run later today.

05/03 - 139.9 (+.7) great way to start 😂 I think I’m retaining water because TOM is coming. Will see how it plays out. If TOM is close I should have a good drop during round. 🤞🏻
05/04 - 140.2 (+.3) no idea what’s going on. I’m not eating over my calories. I’m exercising a ton. Drinking a ton of water. Should be going the other way but it is what it is. I’m guessing it’s bloat and water retention since there’s not much else I can attribute it to. Going to keep at it and hope for the best in the coming days.
05/05 - 140.3 (+.1) I have no idea what’s happening. I am thinking maybe I’m holding on to water because I’m fighting a cold. I’m still able to eat and have energy but still fighting a head cold. Not sure what else could be happening. I’m eating good and doing more activities than ever.
05/06 - 140.4 (+.1) TOM hit today (a bit early), maybe this is what has been causing the water retention. Hope to shed the excess in a few days.

Hi everyone! I love this challenge most of the time, but the ones that we have to end on a Sunday or Monday kill me, lol. Oh well, would love to see 146 something this round and to stay out of the 150's again. Ended high last round because of my anniversary dinner, but also saw new lows through out the challenge, so hopefully we can continue the downward trend.

EW Rnd 73: 148.8 (10 day Avg 149.51)
EW Rnd 74: 151.9 up a couple pounds because of vacation and Easter (no 10 day avg/didn't weigh 5 days)
EW Rnd 75: 148.8 (10 day Avg 148.41)

05/03 - 147.3 back down to Wednesdays weight before my bloody Mary sodium gain, lol. I am ending this week with a 3/10 of a pound loss. Not exactly what I was wanting, but it is a loss so I will take it. My 5 day average was down almost a whole pound, 8/10 of a pound to be exact, but still good. The weekend is here and all I want to do is stay under 150! Happy Friday everyone!

05/04 - 148.2 had a couple beers with dinner last night and ate super late, but ate super low calorie. Should be back down tomorrow. Water water and more water and no alcohol!

05/05 - 148.8 what can I say it’s the weekend. Had pizza for lunch(only 1 piece) and tacos and rice for dinner. Not even close to enough water and not one vegetable or fruit all day. Running errands and will be restocking the house for the week today.

05/06 - 151.0 Weekends are always a killer for me. 3.7 pounds up from Friday. I did have steak last night, which I try and stay away from because it seems like it stays in my system for a while and takes longer to digest. I should be down by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Fri 03/05: 163.6: Goals: Move more than I did yesterday ✅ Slowly building my steps back up. And the scale continues to drop. I seem to have lost my appetite for snack foods!
Sat 04/05: 163.2: Goals: move more than yesterday, spring-clean bedroom ✅ Now I’ve developed a throaty head cold. Gotta get on top of this! Feel really washed out!
Sun 05/05: 163.6: Goals: Nurse my cold ✅ Too whacked to do much else My energy levels have been really low today. Sleeping a lot and having an early night.
Mon 06/05: 162.4: Goals: [/i]put the house back in order after being sick last week. ✅ I didn’t expect another drop so soon, but I have been largely under budget for the last week. [/i]

Tu 30/04: 165.8: Goals ✖️Woke up after a bad night. My knee is swollen and I can barely move with the pain. Not much appetite either. The weight gain is all the fluid round my knee joint. Once the knee is sorted it will go.

Th 02/05: 164.2: Goals: Move more than I did yesterday ✅ I am counting this as a successful result. The mobility in my knee is still improving and the water weight from the swelling has reduced.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Have a rough week ahead of me with hosting our entire region here for a conference. Lots of good food and lots of work. Going to have to be very DISCIPLINED and mindful.

3-May... 188.8... -1
Didn't eat enough yesterday and forced the workout. Doing happy dance for confirmation that I'm under 190. Asta la vista 190s! Gettin it done!
4-May... 189.4... +0.6
I'm totally happy with that considering what I had for dinner. Going home work out today and willmake good choices tonight. Have a fancy event to get dressed up for!
5-May... 188.4... -1.0
Busy, busy day. Didn't eat enough and drank empty cals for Cinco de Mayo and the stress of the weekend. The scale wasn't nice.
6-May... 190.4... +2
See? Scale was not kind. I'm pretty sure it's not real since I was under cals and had a VERY salty lunch, but only 2 tacos and only about a half cup of sides and a handful of chips and salsa so it shouldn't be bad enough to push me back into 190-ville. I hate that place. Ordered good food choices for lunches. Just have to stay away from the crap.

05/03 270.2 Feeling pretty good about today. Made it through the first three days of low carb diet and went for a jog last night. Seeing a weight drop is really uplifting.

05/04 268.6 Worked last night. Nothing like a 13 hour shift to help get the blood moving!

05/05 268.2 Worked last night. So many steps! Today is run day, but I picked up a shift, so I'll be trying for my 5K at midnight. Eating is on point, and I feel really good about pretty much everything.

05/06 265.8 Holy crap! I expected to be up, since I spent all night cooking, meal prepping for the week. I logged every bite I took, and I guess it wasn't as much as I'd assumed. Ran 5K and now for a 13 hour shift.

05/03 - 313.3 lbs - I felt good yesterday, and feel like I'm finally in a place to stick to it again. Glad I found this challenge!

05/04 - 312.2 - still feeling good. Working on writing when I want to eat so I can try to evaluate if I'm actually hungry or if it's a bored/emotional/binge thing. So far that's helping, I think...

05/05 - 310.4 - had a crazy busy weekend and was really proud of myself for not just allowing that to excuse poor eating choices. Made healthy food choices all weekend!

05/06 - 310.0 - I had gotten a little used to the water weight falling off, so what's stupid is that losing almost half a lb was disappointing. However, I am managing to keep carbs low without even really trying too hard. I'm trying to get used to only eating when I'm hungry, so far so good.
