Round Goal (my first round!): -3lb
(My scales round to the nearest pound)
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! Want to keep 184 or below for tomorrow so I hit my goal! 🤞

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.

SW R76: 142
Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 – 142 – Holding steady!
05/04 - 142.5 - Typical weekend bump. It's fine.
05/05 - 143 - I did not eat great today, but I'll be back on the wagon tomorrow.
05/06 – 143.5 – Last Monday I was at 144.5, so I must not have done as much damage this weekend. (Unless it shows up tomorrow) Weight loss calories and water this week.
05/07 – 142.5 – Glad it’s dropping.
05/08 – 142 – One year ago today I started this challenge for Round 40 at 174 lbs. I’d lost 12 lbs. on my own the previous couple months and then got stuck for a couple weeks. I was hoping this group could keep me focused and help me lose the weight I’d been actually trying to lose for over 17 years. Well, it worked. I’ve certainly had my ups and downs, literally, with my weight this past year, but reading all your posts and taking some advice I’ve learned here has made this weight loss stick this time. The most helpful lessons I’ve learned are: Drink water, take body measurements, excess carbs in a meal will cause temporary weight gain, drink water, expect fluctuations for no good reason, measure and weigh food, and drink plenty of water! Thank you to all!
05/09 – 143 – Expect fluctuations for no good reason! On the plus side, I had a Dr. appt. yesterday and I weighed 145, fully dressed, after I had eaten lunch. Also, since my weight loss, my blood pressure has been so good that I haven’t had to take blood pressure pills for the past 10 months and it was confirmed yesterday.
05/10 – 142.5 – I did not drink enough water yesterday and with the weekend coming up, I’ll have to be careful with my calories today.
05/11 - 143 - My water and calories were good yesterday, but we did eat a lot later than usual. My daughter is having Mother's Day for me tonight and we're getting some local fried chicken that has been a Mother's Day tradition in my family since the 1960's. I think they still use the same grease, haha. I know my weight will be up tomorrow, but I'm going to enjoy myself because I now have the tools to keep from repeating the pattern of over-eating.

Round 76 (my 8th)Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4OSW 382
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
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.
05/07 333.6 I’m not surprised by the bounce up I was expecting it. I was also over hungry yesterday and had to work not to just eat and eat. I shifted today to have a little more protein and see if I can have a smoother day.
05/08 333.6 I’ll see another drop in a day or two as I was more active yesterday.
05/09 333.4 Only a small drop, but that’s better than a gain. I’m on track for the week both with my weight and walking.
05/10 333 I’m surprised by a loss. I splurged and went over calories yesterday and I have a very sore back/chest muscle. I’m betting I’ll see any gain from the splurge tomorrow. My nsv was that a coat I had collecting dust is no longer tight on me.
05/11 334.2 I was expecting this up swing. I know that it’s from a splurge plus sore muscles and that it will be gone soon. I had a similar upswing the last few months at around this point in the month. Now that I’m aware of this possibility I can prepare for it next month and plan for the salt/sugar cravings.

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!)
05/1212 -
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!
05/09 - 308.8 lbs - I thought I posted this yesterday, but I can't find it. Felt good yesterday
05/10 - 306.8 lbs - I didn't weigh until after I'd had some water, so super pleased about it. I overslept today, and didn't have time to weigh before I had to take my daughter to school haha! The weight loss must be a "woosh". I think I'm getting the keto flu, feeling crappy today. But loving the lack of appetite haha!
05/11 - 306 lbs - Tired today, but definitely either getting a cold, or just the stupid keto flu. Not sure which. One of my random thoughts for today was that I love how the keto diet turns me into a frickin chef. I've been cooking bomb *kitten* food lately! So that's super fun haha!

UGW: 123
GW for this round: 146-147.2
***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.

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES FOR ME YESTERDAY! YOU HELPED TO MAKE MY DAY SPECIAL.
@quiltingjaine You found a Happy Birthday graphic for me that managed to look like you in the pic! I don't know how you did that, especially during such a busy time for yourself & family, but thank you so much!5 -
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 💜

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 131.8 t = 133.1
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 💪
05/07 132.8 t = 132.9
Yesterday was a struggle, but I think it was just typical Monday drag. Hoping today I will find more energy 🕵️♀️ lol
05/08 131.6 t = 132.8
05/09 132.4 t = 132.8
Sorry forgot to post yesterday. I overslept, but still weighed in. Still haven't been keeping up with exercise. I have not been tracking as accurately due to more eating out but my weight is good so I guess I'm still doing things right in the food realm. I keep telling myself that I can eat more because my weight has been trending down, which helps me not freak out. Tonight I'm making fancy Ramen for my special friend and it's gonna be a high sodium day!
05/10 DNW
Had a great day yesterday, but I don't have a scale this morning. So ready for the weekend!
05/11 130.8 t = 132.5
My weight has dropped below my maintenance range and I don't know why. One explanation is later weigh in time. I was really exhausted after a week of poor sleep so I slept in super late today. That's the only thing that makes sense since I actually are way over maintenance on Thursday, and yesterday I ate 2000 cals. If my weight is still down come Monday I'll start making eating more a priority for next round. Taking into consideration that today and tomorrow will be heavy food days I'm not too worried 😂 Oh and I'm finally doing something active today, playing tennis with my family after lunch.

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 I don’t get discouraged.

Feeling down today... Found out my husband not only forgot about mother's day tomorrow but forgot that today was our wedding anniversary. He really is a great guy who has had a couple stressful weeks at work so I told him that it is totally OK and I am not mad. He definitely felt bad, but on here I can say that I feel kind of down about it 😔10
