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.



05/07 - 309.2 lbs - feeling pretty good. Kind of stressed because I'm getting ready for a rummage sale. But my brother brought over Pizza (my worst binge trigger) but I limited myself to just eating the toppings off of one slice. It put me close to going over my carb goal, but eating the whole slice would have been way worse. So I'm happy! 😊😊😊 Hooray for half way through the 10 days!



05/08 - 309 lbs - I slipped up and ate more than I wanted to last night. But still kept my carbs low. I'm not disappointed. I always hate the initial water weight loss when I first start because I get used to it, so I have to keep reminding myself this was all just water weight. And from now on, it's not going to be such drastic weight loss every day. It SHOULD be less than a lb fluctuation everyday (in either direction). So now I have to focus on sticking with it even when I don't show a big loss everyday. I'm doing the keto diet, and I feel like keto flu is creeping up on me. I have a headache that I cannot get rid of.

Also, for anyone else doing keto, (because it's been a long time since I started keto), but once you're first in Ketosis, do you notice you have a strong craving for meats and cheeses? Ever since last night, I feel like I can't get enough meat/cheese, which is weird. It's why I ate more than I wanted last night, and it's really difficult today to not just tear into the string cheese in my fridge haha!

06/05 -132 What the heck is wrong with me? I joined this challenge to try and get some consistency in my life but, although I weight myself every morning I haven't got round to posting the results. 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.
07/05 - 131 Much better yesterday committing to planning and recording my food and undertaking a structured exercise plan.
08/05 - 131 Hurray, logged my food today. Bad weather so I haven't been able to do much exercise in addition to 10k steps

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
05/07 - 140.9 (+.5) Not even sure what to do anymore 😂 I’m eating good, below my calories, working out like a mad woman and still keep gaining.
05/08 - 139.1 (-1.8) finally lost some of the water retention. Still about a pound up from where I was before though. I’ve been working pretty hard the last week and would have expected better results but I’m glad I’m finally down again. Only 4 days left to make goal so I can’t see it happening unless there is more water weight to lose. On a positive note I am looking smaller, clothes fitting better, and muscles are popping. 💪🏻

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]
Tue 07/05: 162.6: Goals: Start prep for packing for trip to Croatia on Friday. ✅ knee and cold definitely on the mend.
Wed 08/05: 162.0: Goals: Shopping at the mall, remedial knee exercises. Sort out meds for the cold. ✅ Started packing. Knee held up well to a little more gentle walking at the mall.

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!

@beckyboo8504 I dealt with keto flu around the end of my first week on keto. I felt really weak and shaky. It only lasted a couple of days, and it hasn't happened again. While I used to grab a cookie or piece of fruit, my go-to snacks now are nuts (except peanuts) and cheese. I buy cracker-cut cheddar cheese squares that are 1/3 ounce each, and eat one or two when I need a snack. When I was losing, I would weigh my nuts and eat 1/2 or 1 oz., and stay within calorie limits. Not that I'm maintaining, I just grab a few throughout the day, and I carry a little baggie of nuts in my purse in case I need a snack while I'm away from home. You're doing good!

ROUND 76 (Round 18 for me)
5’4 ½” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
Goal: Maintain between 135 and 140 lb. and increase muscle mass
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-70 = 43.6 lb.
NSV: 1) I’ve stayed between 133 and 137 lb. by (pretty closely) following a keto WOE.
2) Lab work a couple of weeks ago was normal with only one exception, slightly high LDL (bad cholesterol). HDL and triglyceride levels were very good! (In 2012, before I gained weight and started keto, I was slim, running, lifting, and the doctor attributed my LDL level to genetics.)

I can’t believe I missed 5 rounds, but I’ve continued to weigh daily, when I’m home. I’m glad I came back at the beginning of a round—great timing! Tax season was followed by a 7-day cruise to celebrate my husband’s birthday and the end of tax season. I ate and drank extra non-keto stuff and gained 3 lb. by the time I returned home, but it’s gone now.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 133.6 I feel good, and, so far, I’ve found it easy to maintain my weight, thanks to limiting deviations from the keto WOE. I’m confident enough to not bother counting calories and carbs (I learned what and how much to eat from my record keeping in the beginning.). Keto has truly become a way of life for me. I’m not confident enough to stop weighing each morning. If weight is up, I cut back, and, if weight is down, I eat a little more. It’s a rainy day, so no walk for Thor and me today.
05/04 134.0
05/05 134.6
05/06 134.4
05/07 134.8 I had some catching up to do here, but I still weighed every day. I took a friend to see the movie Breakthrough yesterday, and I ate a lot of popcorn. The movie was great. Chrissy Metz is a great actress, but I feel bad for her. I suppose her size helped her get the part. I ate a couple of keto taco cups when I got home, and I was still stuffed at dinner time. I managed to eat half of my stuffed salmon, but I put the rest in my spinach and cheese omelet this morning. That was good.
05/08 134.2 My Red Hat group had Italian food for lunch today. The restaurant didn’t have fresh salad greens, so I had soup and cannelloni (tasty, but not on my keto list). I’m not stressing out since I’m below the 140 lb. limit I’ve given myself. It’s nice to have a little leeway.

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.

05/07 266.0 Work was rough, and I ran that out for 1.5 miles. Saw a podiatrist. Turns outs one leg is shorter than the other! Weight is up a bit, and I'm weirdly glad. Dropping lbs so fast was making me nervous. I've got 'slow and steady' as my mantra, and I don't want to fall into the trap of craving a big loss every day.

05/08 265.4 A couple days off, and I'm still eating well. Doing my wakeup and bedtime routines. The fridge is packed with easy grab meals for the next week. Making the act of healthy choices the easiest one.

SW this round (5/02): 149.2

05/03 147.8 Even though this is technically hitting my goal weight for this round, I'm going to keep my goal weight the same for now. Still going strong on my (temporary) keto plan, and I set movement alarms yesterday to reach 3744 steps. Two weekends to get through in this round, here we go! (Don't mess it up, don't mess it up...)
05/04 147 No complaints! Expecting it to bounce up again tomorrow. Everything is sitting like a lump in my stomach.
05/05 144.4 What?! Yesterday, I did a short aerobics workout, but it only balanced the extra 200 calories I ate, so I guess I have to credit keto for this? Boo, kind of. I like carbs!
05/06 145.6 Nothing big to report from yesterday- still keto, still within my calories. Did 2278 steps on a bad pain day, so I'm happy with my efforts yesterday.
05/07 145.6 Cruising along. Tomorrow I will be a week and a 1/2 into my keto month. There are lots of things I like about this way of eating, and so many things that are not sustainable for me in the long term, as I have learned previously. But I may be able to do a month off and on as I am losing. There are a lot of benefits for sure. Something to consider.

05/03 182.0 lbs finally! 🎉 after very little loss the last couple of days I finally get to see a nice loss! Sticking to my calorie limit and substituting chocolate with apples finally seems to pay off!

05/04 181.1 lbs Whoa! Stayed within deficit, but not my calorie goal yesterday, so still pretty happy about this. Here’s to hoping yesterday won’t catch up with me!

05/05 181.0 lbs I struggle a lot on the weekends. I try not to be too hard on myself and allowing myself a piece of chocolate or two, even if it means going 100 or so over my calorie limit. So I’m more than happy with my weigh-in this morning. Goal for today: lots of water!

05/06 forgot to weigh in - had a friend over and just forgot about it. Had a glass of wine and high sodium foods, so a gain won’t be surprising.

05/07 181.4 lbs better than expected. Now back on track!

05/08 181.8 lbs Both the weekend catching up with me and the fact that I’m having PMS. After tracking food and weight for over a month now I can see a pattern. I might just not weigh in around this time of the month next month because it discourages me too much.

05/09 181.1 lbs back on track. Was still over calories yesterday and over carbs especially, but I did much better than the last couple of days.

Mo 29/04: 163.8: Goals ✅Didn't believe this at first this morning, but, yep! There it was.
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.
We 01/05: 164.8: Goals: move more than I did yesterday ✅ Knee is slowly recovering. And some of the swelling has gone.
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!

# 11 for me
Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 377.8 - I am going to try to set more realistic goals this 10 days and if I do better so be it. Going for 4 pounds. I am also going to be more committed to checking in and going to make it easier for me to do it. If I consistently lose 4 pounds every 10 days until the end of the year I will get under 300 pounds. That is a reasonable goals.
05/04 375.8
05/05 n/w in
05/06 bad weekend no weigh in - going to bite the bullet in the morning.
05/07 381.4 – Back on track today.
05/08 380.2 – So so yesterday. I think I did ok, but not a perfect or good day but not bad enough to gain.
