Round 76:
45yo, 5’1”
All time highest weight: 206
MFP SW (this time): 148
1st GW: 125 by July 1
UGW: 115 – 120 by August 1
End of Round 75: 132.4 (Been sick). Difference: -4.4lb
Date / Weight / Δ /Steps / Comments
5/3: 132.2 / -0.2 / Didn’t wear Garmin / Had a fairly big dinner last night wasn’t sure how that would read today. A little loss is better than no loss.
5/4: 133.8 / +1.4 / 7237/ I knew my weight would be up. Pasta dinner and buttery movie popcorn with zero exercise to balance it out. Oh well, it will drop off in the next few days. Life without pasta and popcorn really isn’t worth it to me when I can moderate and still enjoy. Cheers y’all
5/5: 133.4 / -0.4 / didn’t wear monitor / Chinese last night, but a little of the pasta/popcorn day is dropping.
5/6: 131.8 / -1.6 / Didn’t wear tracker / False low as I wasn’t feeling well yesterday. I’ll still take it. I haven’t seen a 131 in quite some time.
5/7: 130.6 / -1.2 / 6139 / Though I’m liking the weight loss, I gotta get this stomach thing figured out. I ate some fruit for lunch, well a pear and half an apple. Just couldn’t finish it. Hubby bought my favorite pizza for dinner. Not a great idea on a tender tummy. I had one small slice and pretty much went to bed. Ugh…
5/8: 130.6 / 0.0 / 10,113. Feeling a little better today, but probably shouldn’t have gone to the gym. Oh well. A bad workout is better than no workout. Glad, but not glad that my fast weight loss will end. It will probably go up once I’m hydrated. Sigh, it was good while it lasted.
5/9: No Scale / - / 10,567. Still feeling like … I don’t even have a good descriptor. Have a good day y’all.
5/10: 130.4 / -0.2 / 5,404. Starting to feel better, but kind of weak. Skipped my walks and had a measly 5,404 steps. On the up side, even though I ate and kept fluids in my weight didn’t go up like I thought it would. Dehydration sucks, but I hope I’m going back to normal. I even had a bit of an appetite yesterday. Yay me!
5/11: 131.6/ +1.2/ didn’t wear tracker/ After being sick, I was just seriously hungry. I’d hoped to get out of the 130s this round, but doesn’t look good.
5/12:: 131.6/ 0/ no tracker/ A little disappointed in my overall loss, but the last few days have been over & close. Some loss is better than no loss. Bring on Round 77.

OSW-170.6
RSW-165
RGW-163.something
UGW-150
R74-166.4 (-3.8)
R75-165 (-1.4, 5.6 total)
05/03-166.4 feeling a little down about this number, I know its salt and the fact that I ate more yesterday (sill in calorie deficit) but it feels crumby to basically go back to the end of round 74...today is probably goint to include a "cheat meal" we are foinf to a retirement party
05/04-167.4 womp womp although I ate out I made decent choices, surprisingly in better spirits today, gonna get back to work
05/05-166 that feels a lot better! Walked so much yesterday, played outside with the kids. Today might be hard, a confirmation party and a birthday party…
05/06-166.4 😠 I guess this wouldnt bother me if i thought I should be up today. I ate well all weekend and when i had "cheat meals" i still made good choices. Well im gonna be eating at home for the majority of the week so im hoping I might still see a loss this round
05/07--165.4sorry ive been so grumpy, just gotta stick with it.
05/08--164 ok ok I see what's going on here. Ill try to remember this next time I have an unexpected gain
05/09-163.4🎉 hope I can hang on to the 163s until this weekend.
05/10-164 I'm ok with this. I have been on track with my eating even when I went to mcdonalds yesterday I got salad and water. Wins for this week I have been able to resist the doughnuts on the counter that have been there all week, im choosing water over other beverage choices almost every time and I have been skipping my before bed snack unless im truly hungry. MFP calories are in the green for probably 6 days in a row 🙌
05/11-163.6 actually suprised by this, ate out yesterday (again) and salad wasnt an option, not bad on calories but lots of sodium. Just gotta hold out today to meet my goal, might be tough, far away soccer game for my oldest, visit my gransparents (who always feed us yummy but unhealthy food) and a brat fry at church. Preparing mentally now!
05/12-163.8 I reached my goal! Yesterday was a tough one, an unexpected double header for my 6 yo soccer forced us to grab mcdonalds again for lunch (literally the only option in this tiny town 1 hr away from home) resisted food at grandparents house and then went to a brat fry where I couldnt track food but didnt drink my calories or grab desert. So happy I have been able to hold on to my self control for the last 3 rounds! Happy Mothers Day everyone!

Female, age 41, 5'6"
SW - 150.1 (starting on 3/25)
Ending weight round 72 - 145.3
Ending weight round 73 - 143.7
Ending weight round 74 - 145.7
Ending weight round 75 - 145.9 Was down in the middle but ended the last day on a high.
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's
Goal for round 76 - track every morsel of food that goes in. Stay in tune to see what is going on with my body.
5/3 - 144.8. Nice whoosh for the first day of this round! Had a rough round 75 and ended high, looking forward to turning that around. Wins yesterday: RPM class, 4 miles of walking. Tracked every bit of food and liquid that I took in, just 30 calories over goal and drank a lot of water. Goal for today - continue the trend. Track everything!
5/4 - 144.6. Very surprised it’s not up, I’ll take it! Had a couple of beers last night and I’m not a regular drinker so I assumed it would go up due to bloating. Will hydrate well, stick to my calorie goal and exercise today in hope of flushing it out. Wins yesterday: tracked everything and only slightly over calorie goal, hydrated well, fit in a short HIIT workout even though I didn’t think I would have time.
5/5 144.4. I like these little drops! Wins yesterday: really hard HIIT workout, and a short bit of Zumba. Shorter dog walk (1.5 miles) due to weather. Hydrated well. Had dinner at a friend’s so couldn’t track well since I didn’t prepare it but did my best to watch portions as I know it was a heavier meal.
5/6 - 143.7. Matched the lowest I've been since I started the 10 day challenges, back at the end of round 73. Wins yesterday: 3.2 mile dog walk, yoga class, did some chores around the house and grocery shopped for the week. Hydrated well. Only went over calorie goal by about 50 calories, even with Oreos
. Now that I see my low weight again I'm motivated to end this challenge lower than that.
5/7 -143.1. Big whooshes this round! I know from previous rounds it can be fleeting so I'm enjoying while I can. Wins yesterday: 5 mile run, 3.25 miles walking. Tracked everything, I thought I would be over a lot but ended up just 30 calories over target. Didn't hydrate as well as I should. Didn't sleep well so I'll be working hard today to not make poor decisions based on being tired.
5/8 - 144.0. Bodies are weird. Yesterday was a better day than the one before but I’m up almost a pound. Oh well, I know I did most things right. Wins yesterday: HIIT class and 2 mile walk. Hydrated decently, could do better but it was enough. Stayed right at calorie target. Will stay the course today and hopefully will come back down.
5/9 - 142.9. Bouncing all over the place the last few days! Wins yesterday: bodycombat and RPM classes. Hit calorie target. Hydrated ok but could have done better based on my activity level. Goal is to stay the course the next couple of days, because I have a lot going on this weekend and will be out of my normal routine. Didn’t sleep well again so will try not to give in to the tired cravings.
5/10 - 143.7. Wins yesterday: HIIT session with weights, 2 mile walk. Had my annual wellness checkup at work. From last year, I'm down 10 lbs and 0.82% body fat, my cholesterol is 17 points lower, resting heart rate and blood pressure nice and low. By all accounts I'm very healthy which is fantastic! However...I decided after seeing these numbers that I "deserved" some junk food so I had too much last night. And my weight is up today for it! It's ok though, just one day. This morning was a good reminder that it's not worth it to do that all the time, but an occasional indulgence is fine. I have family in town this weekend, an all day softball tournament tomorrow for my daughter, and going to a concert Sunday night. My goals will be to have fun, but be mindful of portions and not go too overboard. Hopefully will be able to end this challenge with an overall loss still.
5/11 - 143.3. Wins yesterday: short core circuit and about 3 mile walk. Volunteered at a nonprofit and did a lot of manual labor too 😊. Calories a little over goal but still a deficit. Didn’t hydrate as well since I was so busy.
5/12 -143.7. Away all day yesterday with limited food choices and minimal movement. Happy with this round! Ended with a loss. Hoping to continue the trend next round. Great job everyone, I look forward to these posts each day for inspiration!9 -

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
5/2 126.0
###########
5/3 126.0 Flying to Oklahoma this evening. DH cut the area between 2 toes last night. We went to the ER around midnight and got home about 4AM. I got up at 6:45 to deliver my pot garden to the neighbor for care while we’re gone. Laid back down but didn’t sleep as DH started a load of wash. Got up delivered cat to sitter at 9:15. Bags are not packed - his job. Dragging his feet and I’m having an anxiety attack.
5/4 123.5 False low, I’m sure. Instead of weight around 5AM, very late weigh in - woke up after 10am. Arrived last night, needed some food. Waffle House bacon cheese burger, no bun, no fries with lettuce tomato and some pickles. I was exhausted and don’t even remember getting in bed!
5/5 120.0 I didn’t drink enough water or coffee yesterday so probably be dehydrated. DH’s foot was hot and red so trip to Urgent Care first thing (noon?)yesterday followed by lunch out (fast food) then DD#1 and I were out and about until about 8PM so she could find dresses for the graduations. Helping her get back to Keto while we’re here.
5/6 125.0 Okay, I thought those were a couple of false lows. DD had changed location of scale so now it is back in it’s old spot and weight is 👍. I’m good with this. Woke up early with scratchy throat and plugged nose.
5/7 124.5 I feel miserable. I wish my head would explode. Went to bed at 11:30, woke up at 2:30 and again around 4. Nose running like a faucet so I got up. Took something for the headache which has improved a bit. We are at DD’s with no car so forced rest. YAY! Maybe I’ll binge watch something on Netflix. And drink LOTS OF WATER. This will pass, just feeling sorry for myself.
5/8 123.0 Got a decent night’s sleep so I feel a little better. DGS’s graduation tonight.
5/9 122.0 1300 students - even with 4 people reading the names, it takes a while for all those kids to walk across the stage! Leaving for Iowa this afternoon.
5/10 NWI In Ames, Iowa until Sunday morning. Hanging out with DGD#2 who graduates tomorrow. DH has my cold, we’re all exhausted. Need this day to rest before graduation activities and moving Stassja out of her apartment.
5/11 NWI GRADUATION all day -activities!!
5/12 NWI Driving back to OK On Friday I had a small piece of cake minus the icing at our DGD’s apartment. After all of the Saturday activities we went to Freddy’s Steakburger. DD#1 and I split a fish and chips basket with DH helping to eat the fries. This has been a special weekend and I feel I did not deprive myself and did not really blow it. My glucose and GKI are both excellent. I can’t believe I only got about 7500 steps yesterday. A weight increase tomorrow is expected due to travel. 9 hours or more in car today.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 - 187lb - had take out the night before so this is actually a 1lb gain on the previous day.
05/04 - 186lb - back to what I was on 05/02 which makes sense
05/05 - 185lb - unexpected but yay! Had a good day with lots of walking yesterday and made a delicious (for my cooking anyway) low-calorie adapted Moussaka.
05/06 - 185lb - reasonably good day yesterday, stayed well within calorie goal and went for a walk.
05/07 - 185lb (though the scales jumped between 184 and 185 a couple of times so can't be too far off!). Good day yesterday again, made it to the gym though my back isn't too happy about that. Eating out this evening so we will see what that does to this number...
05/08 - 187lb - yep I deserve that. Massive meal, cider, loads of salt and I forgot to weigh in before I drank half a pint of water... It'll drop in a day or two but yeahhhh that's a bump.
05/09 - 184 lb - wowza! I knew yesterday's was artificially high but didn't expect a 3lb change! I'll take it. Might be slightly artificially low as I feel thirsty but we will find out tomorrow!
05/10 - 184lb - well it's not thirst! And I didn't have the greatest sticking-to-plan yesterday but did pretty good without compromising on social activities so I'm happy with that! I want to keep this number (or lower, you know...) until the 12th!
05/11 - 184lb - didn't make great food choices but did burn energy dancing so hopefully it all balanced out! Scale was jumping between 183 and 184 so *maybe* not too far off 183lb!
05/12 - 183lb! And it was jumping between 182 and 183 as well! I made good food choices yesterday and walked for about 3 hours (partly for errands and partly for fun). I did, however, drink beer (celebrating a pal's bday) but I chose the small beers over the pints and alternated with water which limited the damage I think I also got my first comment about looking visibly slimmer which was a real boost to the will power!
*Round result: -4lb!*
Very happy and definitely going to sign up for the next round! Happy mother's day to all the North American Moms/Grandmas out there, and congrats all on completing the round

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 – 198.8 – TGIF! Misty morning walk (60 min). Grocery shopping after class. Made Rueben sandwiches (all that salt!) and a cucumber salad for dinner, then settled down for a lazy Friday evening in. Looks like rain might put a damper on outdoor plans tomorrow Trying to stay optimistic
05/04 – 199.4 – A little bump, but I’ll work on it this week. This morning’s rain gave way to a beautiful sunny afternoon in the city. 21,716 steps, including over 2 ½ hours of walking through the park at a brisk pace. At least 96 oz of water, but I’ll need a bit more before I turn in tonight.
05/05 – 199.4 – Heavy rain all day. Lazy morning and no walk, but I eventually got a couple of hours of cleaning done before my dinner guests arrived. Carnitas tacos, sangria, and flan put me over my calorie limit, but I was under yesterday, so we’ll see how that works out. Fun weekend. I ate all kinds of food, but less of it than I might have in the past. Working on developing sustainable habits 😊
05/06 – 200.0 – Not unexpected, but somehow still disappointing. I guess it’s a reminder to get back on track. Got a few chores in before work. 60 minute walk along the shore (boardwalk) with the wind providing some resistance. 10+ waters.
05/07 – 199.4 – That’s better. Looks like another lovely day, so I’ll try to squeeze in a walk before class and do some weeding this afternoon. (Update: 70 min walk and 30 min of weeding! Plenty of water.)
05/08 – 199 – Woke up sluggish and achy – yesterday’s aggressive weeding session aggravated my sciatica, derailing my plan to walk before class. A trip to the mall with my daughter boosted my spirits, and the two new belts I bought for my now loose jeans boosted my confidence. Took the dog for a 45 min walk before dinner. Good hydration.
05/09 – 198.4 – A badly needed rest day. Last full week of classes and, as usual, I'm playing catch-up on grading and thus not getting enough sleep. Looking forward to sleeping in this weekend!
05/10 – 198.8 – Back where I started at the beginning of this challenge. Oh, well. Busy day with my grandson’s kindergarten show in the morning and a quick early lunch with my mom before class. Picked the kids up after school and took them for ices. Chinese take-out for dinner. So many temptations but I managed a small deficit. No time to walk. Hoping to work off some of those extra calories in the garden tomorrow. Still hoping for a drop by Sunday, but I’m okay with holding steady this round.
05/11 – 198.8 – Lovely day to be outdoors! Feeling refreshed after a good night’s sleep. Morning spent working in the garden before a delicious deli lunch with my husband. We got a good bit done, and I got a workout weeding again. Easy afternoon and evening with my daughter’s family for an early Mother’s Day celebration. Bacon pizza and chocolate cake, per my grandson’s request. (I did make a salad as well.) Lots of wine as we sat around the firepit.
05/12 – 199.4 – And it is what it is. But I’ll be back on track come Monday morning. Now it’s off to the city for a museum day. Life is good!
Happy Mother's Day!10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 - 156.2
I've been reading a bit about the dangers of obsessive tracking (which I've been doing for 4 years, even through gaining periods) and the imprecision of determining caloric content of foods and burn through exercise. So I'm experimenting this round with not counting calories but simply paying attention to what I eat, how much, and when. We'll see what happens.
05/04 - 159.4
Okay, I’m officially upset and befuddled. I did have 2 pieces of pizza last night, but come on. This is the heaviest I’ve been in a couple of years, and although my clothes still fit, I am most unhappy. I don’t think it’s even possible to gain 9 pounds in a month. Going into bunny rabbit mode for a while.
05/05 - 157
At least that's headed in the right direction.
05/06 - 156.2
Yesterday was a good day, mainly because I didn't cave in to snacking and I was outside a lot in the beautiful Spring sunshine. Today is a little gloomy, but that's ok, I have flowers to plant.
05/07 - 156.2
05/08 - 156.2
I’ve gotten a day off somehow, so catching up. I think today is today!
05/09 - 156.4
Rainy day today, so I'm off to the Y.
05/10 - 156
Gloomy day but no rain, so I hope to get outside for a walk and some gardening. I'm setting a new walking goal of 5-6 miles most days, plus weights 3 days/week.
05/11 - 158.2
Some of this is salt/water - we had pizza yesterday (thin & crispy veggie, so not too bad), and I had major Triscuit binge (very, very bad). I don't know why I'm doing that lately. I just confessed to DH that I'm sneaking food and he thought it was hilarious. Oh well - onward. Happy weekend!
05/12 - 157
Whatever. Onward.

Round five! With no holidays, travel plans, or field trips in sight, I can finally get back into my routine for this round. I plan on continuing to be mindful of how much water I'm drinking, getting at least 10,000 steps tracked each day, and working out when I have it scheduled on my calendar. I'd like to see anything in the 170's on the scale by the end of this challenge.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 182.8 lb I worked out for the first time last night in about three weeks and I'm feeling it today! Dinner was a burger, fries, and beer, but the rest of the day was very good. I drank 30 oz of water and 34 oz of non-calorie drinks and tracked 12,976 steps. I have the gym scheduled on my calendar for this afternoon, my meals planned through dinner, and I'm looking forward to not setting my alarm and sleeping in for the first time in 17 days! 😴
05/04 181.6 lb 20,714 steps were tracked and that included 40 minutes on the elliptical at the gym. 30 oz of water and 22 oz of non-calorie drinks. I'll be taking the dog for a nice walk today and cleaning up the house, but otherwise I have a rare unscheduled weekend to enjoy.
05/05 181.6 lb I'm happy to be holding steady. 10,334 steps were tracked and I had 48 oz of water. I made eggplant Parmesan and froze half of it so we wouldn't have as many lurking leftovers. I limited myself to one garlic knot when I usually go for three and I kept to one mint julep as we watched the Kentucky Derby drama. 🐎
05/06 180.6 lb We enjoyed a leisurely Sunday with a trip to Lowe's to pick up a new house plant, a visit to Yankee Candle where we spent way too much, and a dinner out. I tracked 12,540 steps, had 48 oz of water, and went over my calories by about 300 due to our first ice cream outing of the season. They weren't planned, but they were tasty.
05/07 181.4 lb I tracked 11,606 steps and had 52 oz of water and non-calories drinks. Dinner was half a small pizza, panko green beans, and a flight of beer so I'm not surprised about the bump. I'm planning on going to the gym after school today and then I'll be eating a late dinner after wind ensemble rehearsal. Still hoping for something in the 170's, but I'll need to reign in my calories to see that by Sunday!
05/08 181.8 lb 20,416 steps were tracked, but to be transparent, I played a lot of percussion yesterday and didn't bother to take off my Fitbit. I burned 350 calories on the elliptical at the gym and had 67 oz water and non-calorie drinks. The scale hasn't been doing too much in the last week, but the pair of dress pants I'm currently wearing that have been snug since December are fitting nicely today.
05/09 181.0 lb 15,687 steps were tracked yesterday and I had 52 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. I was eating well until my boyfriend asked me to bring him home some French fries and those basically became dinner #2. I'm not unhappy about it because he hardly ever asks me to bring him anything and the scale still shows a loss. I'm off from work today and plan to walk the dog, do some yard work, and do level one from the 30 Day Shred.
05/10 181.0 lb 13,101 steps were tracked and 42 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. I missed my workout because we had a handyman stop by to assess some water damage under our bathroom sink. It's stained but solid, so there's no immediate need to fix it. I cleaned the charcoal grill and grilled my first steak ever while the dog played in the backyard. We enjoyed marinated flank steak, tomato salad, and grilled garlic bread for dinner and it's a meal I'm looking forward to making again this summer. I WILL be going to the gym this afternoon and I WON'T have more than one beer tonight. 🍺
05/11 182.0 lb I WENT to the gym and I had ONE beer! 😁 I walked 15,372 steps and had at least 60 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. It was definitely more than that though because we went out for pho before catching a late night showing of Detective Pikachu and I refilled my teacup about 6 times. We've got yardwork and dog walking planned for today and I'm thinking salmon for dinner with our leftover fried rice.
05/12 179.6 lb Pleasantly surprised! I tracked 10,900 steps yesterday with the majority of them being 4 hours of yardwork. I had 58 oz of water and one delicious blackberry porter. I've lost 11.4lbs total since joining these challenges and I'll see you all in Round 77! 🤩12 -

05/03- 328.4 - I started a new medication yesterday, ate fast food for lunch and then had pie for dessert, and walked a lot yesterday... so it’s not surprising to see a gain, but I was hoping I wouldn’t. Back on the wagon though!
05/04- 328.4- I’m really not understanding this plateau at all, but I’m trying to just push through it. I was expecting to not start having these issues until I had lost significantly more weight.
05/05- 328.2- maybe things are starting to move again? I hope so.
05/06- 328.2- still frustrating.
05/07- 327.0- it moved! Yay! I stuck to it and didn’t let the lack of movement sabotage me!!

05/06 – 189.4 – I’ve been out of town some and not tracking food and it’s showing. I’m ready to be back on track. Hoping some of this is salt.
05/07 – 186.3 – SO happy, some of this came off already. I drank all my water for the first time in several days.
05/08 – 186.5 – still ok. I recorded all food, drank my water, no alcohol, and stayed under calories.
05/09 – 186.7 – went out for dinner but didn’t overdo it. Need to just keep working on it. It was easy to get off track, harder to get back where I was.
05/10 – 185.0 – YEA. Not down to what I was 2 rounds ago, but I very happy! Just need to keep on tracking and drinking my water.
05/11 – 185.0 – holding. 😊 Need to move back into the 184s.
05/12 – 185.8 – not as good as I hoped, but not too bad after beer and popcorn last night. On to a new round.

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!

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.
7-May... 189... -1.4
Had a feeling it would go down. Was exhausted and didnt work out last night. These 12 hour days are really hard.
8-May... 189... 0
Same same. Up at butt crack o dawn to set up big breakfast and have a big dinner on site tonight. Forced a workout when I got home at 8 and will be really good today around all the crap. NO CHICK FIL A MINIS this morning! Those little suckers are dangerous!
9-May... so so so so tired.. 14 hour day yesterday. Did not weigh or workout.
10-May... still trying to catch up on sleep. Didn't weigh and no workout. So glad the conference is over.
11-May... 189.4... +0.4
12-May... 187.4... -2
No snacking all week except a couple of red vines. Stayed well within calorie range. Didn't over indulge on any of the foods I got for conference... and everyone commented on the healthy selections. Went outside for a run yesterday and found it easier than the treadmill, except the dreaded hill coming back. That being said I am SORE and down 2 lbs. I didn't eat much yesterday and had a bottle of prosecco, but I'm taking it. Worked my *kitten* off this week and apparently it shows. I couldn't be happier!

Aiming to continue with the motivation and focus I had in the last round
Target for the round is to weigh in under 140 ........
Aiming to keep as active as possible - try to get in 10k steps everyday (if I'm not at the gym) by fitting in a quick lunchtime walk at work.
Its a Bank holiday weekend here in the UK so family dinner Sunday then friends round on Monday so going to be a tough start and a Sunday morning finish when I rarely weigh my lowest .... But these are excuses I guess not reasons so onwards and downwards. Here we go ............................
R76 start weight - 141.6lb
03/05 - 142.0lb (+0.4lb) Slightly up but not unusual for a Friday morning as we nearly always have home made burgers Thursday night so my carbs are higher than other days. Not worried as overall calories were all ok. Did 11k steps yesterday and so far today done a 2500 step walk and week 1 day 1 of C25k (going to try it and see if I can get to like running although I am doubtful and may end back on my bike - just wanted to try something else). Food all planned for the day too. Here's to a great Friday
04/05 - 141.4lb (-0.6lb) and there goes the burger bun!! 12k steps yesterday including my first C25K so that was all good. We've got a skip being delivered today so will be spending the weekend loading that up with building rubbish and clearing a bit more of the garden so plenty of exercise ahead and will no doubt ache lots by the time I go back to work Tuesday! Food planned for today so all looking good so far. Have a great weekend everyone and for those in the UK enjoy the long bank holiday weekend
05/05 - 141.2lb (-0.2lb)
06/05 - DNW
07/05 - 144.6lb (+ 3.4lb) I know this isn't real weight gain just a post bank holiday gain which consisted of a family roast dinner Sunday, friends round for dinner last night and I did have 3 G&T's over the weekend. Did also spend a large part of the weekend loading up a skip with builders rubble so got a good workout and definitely didn't drink enough water. Back to normal today - food planned and prepped and gym session tonight so its all good
08/05 - 142.0lb (-2.6lb) theres most of the weekend whoosh - as ever food prepped and planned, water bottle at my side ........ Carb heavier dinner (all within calories though) of baked potatoes and salad but still hoping for a drop tomorrow......
09/05 - 142.2lb (+0.2lb) as expected given my dinner last night. Been a "meh" round so far - nothing really moved - always amazes me how long it takes for your body to "get over" a weekend (even though it wasn't particularly indulgent and I did loads of activity). 3 days left of the round though to make a difference and aim to finish lower than I started - had hoped for under 140 but looks like I may have to save that for R77.... Food prepped for the day and gym PT session tonight ...
10/05 - 141.1lb (-1.1lb) Don't you just love a Whoosh
Food planned for the day and feeling positive for a decent end to the Round and to finish lower than I started. Next weeks worth of food planned, on line shop done and shopping being delivered today so no reason not to have a good week
11/05 - 139.6lb (-1.5lb) Wow that was unexpected but I will happily take it. Stepped on the scales twice just to make sure though. Didn't have a particularly heavy dinner last night so think some of it may be that so may possibly see the scale up a bit tomorrow? Went to the gym this morning for a mobility session, had my favourite breakfast of smoked haddock and feeling good so far and set up ready for a great weekend ahead.
Have a good one everyone
12/05 - 140.20lb (+0.80lb) As expected from yesterday but pleased with this round as still on track to meet my target. 1.4lb down over the round as a whole
See you all round 77.....10 -

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.

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.
May 7 - 176.2 - another fairly decent day yesterday. I need to buy some groceries today and get other things besides carbs in the house.
May 8 - 176.4 - I was hungry all evening last night I don’t know why. I managed to stay within calories but it was a struggle.
May 9 - 175.0 - had a great eating day and got some exercise in!
May 10 - 176.4 - I don’t know how accurate my scale is, it also showed 169.4 this morning but I don’t trust it.
May 11 - 178.0 - today marks 10 years that I have been smoke free. Now to get my weight where I want it to be. Yesterday was a long day after a near sleepless night Thursday. Carbs were high.
May 12 - 177.0 and 175.0 are the readings that showed up today. I have replaced the batteries in my scale and I make sure it’s level on the floor. Does anyone have any suggestions? I will use the 177 instead of the 175.0 in my average.10 -
I am going to be continuing my diet break this challenge but it will end on Sunday and I’ll start at a deficit for the next 20 pounds! I’ve only gained 2.4 pounds during the diet break which is awesome!

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.)
05/07: 196.8 (I had a relaxing day yesterday not worrying about getting a workout done and dinner was made on time instead of super late at night. I had breakfast for dinner, egg and hashbrown casserole, and helped my hubby study for his macroeconomics final, so I'm glad I'm off the workouts this week.)
05/08: 194.4 (All this weight I gained during the diet break is starting to fall off once I got on my deficit again! I did not do a workout and had some beef shell pasta last night. I also went to bed earlier than usual. For some reason, every time I go on a workout break I am tired all the time!)
05/09: 193.8 (There it goes again! Just 1.8 pounds more until I reach the weight I was supposed to be maintaining at. I would say I'm pretty close and I wasn't sure how it would go. Last night I didn't do a workout and I made some delicious chicken pot pie for dinner as a comfort food. I needed it since it's been a year since I cut out my abusive parents/family after being diagnosed with PTSD. It's a reminder of how far I've come psychologically. Only good things moving forward to the next year of freedom!)
05/10: 193.2 (This is a nice Friday weigh-in! I have only 1.2 pounds to go from what I gained during maintenance. 5.2 pounds of water weight since Monday is not too bad! I did not workout yesterday and I had some rice and beef with broccoli from TJ's. YUM!)
05/11: 192.0 (Omggggg I got to my weight before I started the diet break! I would say it was all worth it in the end. I had Chipotle last night for dinner!)
05/12: 193.4 (I went out last night with my hubby and had some pizza and a few mozzarella sticks which are my favorite. I did not do a workout yesterday but I’m still happy I’m at a loss this round!)
Total loss this round: -2.8 pounds11 -
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.
05/09 266.0 Skipped running today, boo. Will go first thing in the morning after work. Weight held steady through two days off! I feel like I've made good eating choices. Sleep average is at goal of 7hrs. I'm up to 9 push-ups a day. It's been a very good week. Thank you all for this daily check in.
05/10 265.2 Work was rough. No: Brutal. 13.5 hour shift and my uterus decided to remind me that I have endometriosis, and my lower back chimed in for funsies. It was not a good night. Times like these make me so proud when I don't hit the vending machine. Stick to my bag lunch, pop some Tylenol, and power through. Rough times pass, but I just gotta hold out till morning. I did, and I'm still hurting, still tired, but filled with satisfaction and accomplishment.
05/11 266.0 Whew, weekend has been hard and I totally binged on sugar free cheese cake bites. Got work tonight. Good thing, because it means no snacking!
05/12 264.0 Know what I said about no snacking? Well I earned this weight loss! Night shift ordered pizza last night and I stuck to my bag lunch! Then, I went for a 5K run this morning and got a high five from another runner and I felt like a cool kid!
❤️❤️6.2 lbs lost this challenge, and 9 lbs overall. Feeling great, thank you!❤️❤️13 -

“Patience is also a form of action.” Auguste Rodin
05/03- 165.8 It is what it is.
05/04- 164 Go figure. The week before last I was off work, and I weighed this low. Then, this past week I was between 165 and 166. Now, it’s the weekend (and I got to sleep longer), and I’m back to 164.
05/05- 165 Oh, well. I did strength training yesterday, so it may be water weight. Or, it could be the pizza I had for dinner last night… Not going to deprive myself.
05/06- 164.2 I was hoping to see 163 this morning, but this is okay.
05/07- 164.6 Oh well. I’m working hard and eating right. My 5-day average so far for this round is 164.7, which is lower than the goal.
05/08- 166.6 Are you kidding me? I had mac ‘n cheese for lunch yesterday, but stayed below my calories for the day, but 2 pounds???
05/09- 167 Ok, I’m mad. Had ziti yesterday. Too much pasta this week?
05/10- 166.2 I guess my average for this round is going to be high.
05/11- 165.1 This is better, but what happened to 164?
05/12- 165 My 10-day average for this round is 165.4, with 0.2 average pounds lost since last round. My TOM is due 5 days from now, so I’m not sure if this Is a plateau, or not. Time will tell… I hope next round is better.

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.
05/07--208.3 Ran 2 miles yesterday, was going to run longer but it was a little too humid. Trainer tonight.
05/08--208.7 Sore from trainer yesterday and was so hungry when I got home. Snacked and didn't drink a lot of water today. Will make sure to get water in today. Run today and then yoga.
05/09-208.5 Was pretty warm when I went out to run yesterday so I cut the run a little short. Yoga was great. Trainer tonight.
05/10--208.7 Had a great workout yesterday. My trainer, who is usually on the subdued side, was giving me fist bumps.
05/11--209.8 Well, all my snacking has caught up with me. Regardless of the scale I went out and ran 5 miles, which is the longest distance I've ran in years. More importantly I woke up later than I had planned and didn't want to go run, but instead I went out in the heat and easily ran the 5 miles...for me that's more important than the number on the scale
05/12--208.9 Went to the gym this morning and then going to take the dog out for a long walk.

*END ROUND 76 ~10 day avg ~ 177.3. Not where I want to be, but thankfully stayed within this decade of weight. ~ Really struggled with finding the right balance of electrolytes this round. I'm hoping that increasing potassium was the problem all along and my fluid weight continues to drop.

***ROUND 76 (my 6th)***Day/Weight/Comment
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.
05/08 143.6 Um...
05/09 146.2 So of course I didn't GAIN 2.6 lbs overnight on the 887 calories I consumed yesterday (abnormally low, I was having an awful pain day). Nor did I, evidently, LOSE 2 lbs OF PURE FAT between Monday and Tuesday, ha. Weighing daily on this challenge has taught me that it'll all settle out!
05/10 145 Down 1.6. What a rollercoaster of a round this has been! Only two more days to go, but one of them is Mother's Day, so I need to be proactive and *make a plan* for not blowing my progress in one day.
05/11 144 My lowest weight in over a year. Even if it doesn't stick (probably won't), I am just shocked by this round. I'm weighing in this morning 5.2 lbs less than at the start of the round somehow as I approach the end of my second week on keto. And I lost 4.4 lbs in my first week. Honestly, it worries me a bit because I'm only doing this for a month to support my husband, then back to regular ol' CICO. Hope I don't regain.
05/12 144.2 Great round! Well under my GW for this round and 9.4 lost in the past two rounds, coinciding with... when I started keto. Ugh! I'm only doing this for a month, why must it work so well?! Only half kidding.
But I did some research on transitioning back to carbs yesterday that reassured me I can do this safely and without gaining. Yes, safely. There's some research showing you can damage your blood vessels if you just go off keto and start having donuts (I've done EXACTLY this before, no wonder my joints hurt the next day; I'd inflamed my blood vessels). I'll start adding carbs back in slowly at the end of the month. Keto has certainly created the long-sought-after 'whoosh', and it 'ain't all water, either- as Shakira says, "the hips don't lie."

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. 💪🏻
05/09 - 138.9 (-.2) slower and more steady, maybe I’m back on track.
05/10 - 139.6 (+.7) ugh I just don’t know.
05/11 - 137.7 (-1.9) that’s better! I did weigh in a little later than normal but this seems more like where I should be at this point. Will see what the last day of the challenge brings. I’m going to start measuring along with weigh ins for the next challenge so don’t get discouraged.
05/12 - 139.6 (+1.9) I have no idea what’s going on with me right now. Maybe I’m gaining muscle? I can definitely see the definition and look better in my clothes. Maybe I need a new scale? I dunno. I’m happy with how my body feels and that’s all that matters.
