Late to the party this time.
I've struggled the last few rounds. My winter blues did not go away but descended into a bigger problem. On Tuesday evening I realized I had eaten 5 chocolate bars and a package of candy in one afternoon! So my goal for this round is to stop the sugar/chocolate binges and get back to tracking. yesterday was my first day "back"

RSW 335.8
After a bad end of last round I’m hopeful of staying on track and getting close to my first 50 pound loss.
05/13 335.2 A nice beginning of round loss. I’m hopeful of getting back and beyond the low I had middle of last round. I was fully on track yesterday and hopefully that trend will continue.
05/14 333.4 I’m cautiously optimistic about this weigh in. I was very on track with everything yesterday. I know that all the supposed gain of the last few days was water retention and this weight is very close to last weeks low. If I continue on track I might hit my mini goal this round.
05/15. 332.6 And back to a new low. I’m happy to see the weekend gain gone.
05/16 331.2 That’s on track and it looks like the last of the water gain is gone. I’ve hit my 50 pound lost goal and if I stay on track the rest of this round I might see my monthly goal weight too.
05/17 330.2 I’ see if this sticks, but I won’t be too surprised by a slight uptick. It’s not unusual for that to happen after a couple of large drops. I’m hopeful though because this is a half pound from my goal for the month.
05/18 330.0 Almost there, if I stay on track and low sodium I’ll see my goal for the month tomorrow. If not I know that I’ll see it before the end of the round.
05/19 329.0 I’m not sure about this free fall of my weight. I’ve been on track with everything so maybe some of it is from water retention or something. I expect that it will stop or even bounce soon.

@jlbtnc 30 pounds in 3 months is awesome! Keep up the good work!
@ehseeker Ahh, but those 10 grams of fat are so satisfying!

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.
5/12 No scale for 3 days
5/13 125.0 Happy with this after 4 days of not great eating and two days driving.
5/14 126.0 Ate at Taco Bueno before heading to airport yesterday evening. I ate all the carbs and didn’t drink anywhere near enough water so am super pleased with this. We’ll see how it goes for the remainder of this busy (but at home) week. Art Quilts and community bingo tomorrow, quilt guild meeting Thursday night, anniversary on Friday.
5/15 126.0 Busy day today
5/16 126.5 I ate a small bag of potato chips last night. My innards sound unhappy.
5/17 127.0 I’m not worried about this. I bought a bag of salted sunflower seeds in the shell to munch during the drive to Iowa last week. It said it was 2 servings but the bag lasted a week. I suck all of the salt out of the shells - doesn’t everyone? - so this could very well be water. Just not overly concerned. Our 49th anniversary
5/18 126.0 Lovely steak dinner last night and part of a baked potato. I think that is the first white potato I’ve had since starting keto 22 months ago. It was very tasty with butter, sour cream, salt and pepper.
5/19 125.0 Carlito’s tri-tip yesterday! YUM!7 -
GOAL. This month I am planning a non stop dieting month. The first week didn't go as well as planned so I am hitting the restart and refresh button. May 13th-JUne 13th I will be dieting non stop, fasting and will only allow 3 cheat meals at most (not days) and keep them limited to events I can not control (meaning no Saturday morning high calorie breakfasts that potentially will derail the rest of my day) this is an experiment to see what I could potentially accomplish if I stuck to it for the whole month.

5/13 142 triple yikes, this weekend was less than ideal. I am restarting my whole month because I can and I am the boss and now that I have seen the gain, i know for sure this is a slippery slope. I am also starting a 16-8 fast, hoping this will shrink my appetite. Cheers to new beginnings (day 1/31 accomplished)
5/14 140.8 2/31 accomplished
5/15 139.0 3/31 accomplished fasting has been going good so far. Ending my day after 8 and eating my first meal at lunch around noon has been surprisingly easier than I thought....But tomorrow will be a rough day. I get to eat breakfast but my fast starts at 10 and doesn't end until 6 am Friday morning. My first long fast. I have a bunch of things planned to keep me busy and although I have had not so hungry days before, i have never forced a longish term fast based off will power alone....So wish me luck
5/16 139.4 4/31 accomplished no real reason for this gain, worked out, stayed under calories and accomplished my fast yesterday. I have also accomplished my longish fast today and am hoping for good results tomorrow. The only good thing about this fast, is it is forcing me to get my water in lol.
5/17 137 5/31 accomplished
5/18 136.8 x. 5/31 Tonight was concert night and I wanted to make sure I ate enough since I was planning on drinking. I stuck to my fast but definitley ate over calories.
5/19 no weigh in 6/31. Today is a full day fast so I won't be eating until tomorrow morning at 9 am. I will be pretaking the win for the day out of good faith. Just tons of water and some black coffee for me

Day/Weight/Comment
5/13--207.8 Weight training at gym yesterday and then I took dog out for a long walk. Run tonight.
5/14--207.2 Did some snacking last night but stayed within my calorie goals. Went for a 3 mile run last night. Trainer tonight. Now that I realize that I snack a lot on the evenings I workout with my trainer I am already planning ahead. I did some research and found that the need to snack can be due to a need for protein, so today I am making sure that I up my protein intake after my workout. Hopefully that will help with my snacking tonight.
5/15--207.2 My plan to eat more protein after my workout helped. While I still snacked it was definitely less snacking than the last time I worked out with the trainer. Run tonight and then maybe yoga... depends on if I have to work late.
5/16--208.1 Bump is definitely due to my salty snacks yesterday evening. The snacking struggle is real. Was raining when I got home so I didn't go for a run, but I could have...was too lazy. Also did not go to yoga, but trainer is tonight.
5/17--208.3 Very tough workout yesterday so not surprised about the bump up. Going out for lunch and happy hour today, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.
5/18--208.7 I knew there would be a bump up after happy hour yesterday, but I had a great time. Even though I didn't feel like it I went out this morning and ran 5.5 miles...I was so proud of myself. I then decided to take some measurements and found I had lost 7 inches all over in the past 2 months...very excited! Today I'm going to take dog out for a long walk and make sure I get my water in.
5/19--208.9 Sore from run yesterday and my hip is hurting, so between the lingering affects from Friday's happy hour, the water retention from my sore muscles, and inflammation from my sore hip I'm not surprised I'm up again today and expect to be up for a couple of days. Going to take MIL out to lunch today for her birthday and then resting/icing my hip for the rest of the day.

Hopefully I can just maintain this round and stay where I ended the last round. We have 3 graduation parties, my son and niece’s actual graduation, and a ton of family in town. Lots of eating out and drinks I am sure. It is a time to celebrate, so I’m trying to learn how to celebrate in moderation, both with food and alcohol. That has never been a strong suit of mine, lol.

Round 75: 151.9 - 148.8 (Avg 148.41)
Round 76: 148.8 - 147.7 (Avg 147.97)
5/13 - 149.6 had Panda Express last night for dinner, so I’m assuming I’m up because of the soy sauce and carbs. Plus I’m sure it’s the rest of my Saturday night activities coming back to haunt me. On a Monday to still be under 150 I am happy. I have my 1st grad party tonight at an Italian restaurant, so I’m going to try and choose wisely. Plan today is to drink lots of water to get the sodium and beer out of my system and try and fill up on salad for dinner. Also no bread or alcohol tonight.
5/14 - 149.6 same which is good. Italian dinner with family last night, plus my husband surprised me with an afternoon movie. Finally got to see the new Avengers which was worth the wait. Ended up having a couple of beers during the movie, but no bread sticks at dinner. We also stopped and grabbed burgers before walking into the movies, so staying the same was expected. Should be back down tomorrow, work all day and the my youngest has her talent show tonight. So meals are planned and prepped.
5/15 - 148.0 Nice drop today, should be back to 146.xxx tomorrow. Just in time for loads of family to come into town. My son and niece graduate tomorrow, so will weigh and check in quickly in the am. Hopefully I can make decent choices tomorrow, I know lunch and dinner will be out and there will be lots of celebrating. I don't think I will make my goal of 145 by tomorrow, but I am really darn close and happy with where I am.
5/16 - 147.0 ate really late last night trying to get ready for the graduation today. Two restaurant meals today and a lot of sitting. Wish me luck!
5/17 - 148.0 and I am back up. I now officially have 2 children that have graduated from high school! I did really well yesterday food wise. I did have a spicy bloody Mary (I just love them so much), 2 beers and maybe 3 glasses of water ( I know terrible). I know I was dehydrated because I woke up twice last night thirsty. I was way under on calories though, my breakfast was just over 300 and then I did not eat again till dinner which was only about 600 calories. Back at work today and hopefully will be back down tomorrow before we have to start the weekend. I have 1 more graduation party on Saturday and I will be done with events for this round. Half way through and right now I haven't made any progress, but I have maintained, which in my book with all the celebrating and eating out I have done, I'm taking it as a win!
05/18 - 147.0 still here just hanging out. My trend weight is the lowest it has ever been, so winner, winner, chicken dinner. Last grad party in this round that I have to attend today and hopefully I will do well and weigh in around the same tomorrow.
05/19 - 147.0 was hoping I would be back to 146.xx but I’ll take it. Did eat a couple bites of a cinnamon roll and French toast casserole. Holding steady and looking to get lower before this round ends.

This is going to be a good round, I can feel it! I'm so close to my next goal and to the 180's. This round, I am starting a brand new exercise plan. I'll be training for a 5K! Finally, I've been wanting to do this for awhile and because of the weight I had gained, it was difficult to run for extended periods of time. I want to run the entire 5K, so I found a conservative plan that takes 16 weeks. Let's do this!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 - 195.0 (A gain that was expected from the huge brunch to celebrate Mother's Day for my MIL and SIL. I tried to compensate with a healthy dinner of chili chicken kabobs, green beans and rice with some homemade pesto. It's the end of my workout break, so I'm going full swing today!)
05/14 - 193.2 (I'm at my last official Friday weigh in already and its barely Tuesday! I started with a 55 minute TurboFire workout last night and boy am I sore this morning! Especially my back and my thighs/calves...Most likely I'm below this weight because of the soreness and TOM is a couple days late so I'm waiting for that to start. I made some delicious chicken and cheese crepes last night. OMG first time making savory crepes and I'm in love!)
05/15 - 193.2 (Stayed the same! TOM still has not showed up and my soreness was worse than yesterday! I'm sure I will be a higher weight from all that water retention. Yesterday I started my 5K training. The plan I found had me just walk for the first week. I did a nice 25 minute walk around my hilly neighborhood and I worked out my calves even more! I made a delicious potato corn chowder with a dinner roll for dinner last night. It was delicious!)
05/16 - 193.4 (Now that TOM has been 5 days late, I'm not concerned!!
Hopefully it's because of a new workout plan or maybe stress...I'm holding onto weight and TMI have not had a bowel movement since Monday morning. Anyway, last night I did a 55 minute TurboFire workout and I'm still very sore since Monday's workout. I also made some pasta last night for dinner.)
05/17 - 192.8 (Finally back in the 192’s. I’m now on the 6th day of my missed period but finally got the chance to go to the bathroom! I’m hoping it’s because of my increase in intense workouts and how I lost all that weight last week that I gained from my diet break. I’m just going to wait it out. I had chicken stir fry yesterday and did not do a workout last night.)
05/18 - 192.2 (TOM finally arrived last night right before bed 🙄 so annoying being 6 days late! First time it’s that late in 16 years! I had a bean and cheese burrito last night and I did a 30 minute walk. Hopefully next Friday I can make my goal!)
05/19 - 193.8 (I had a good food day yesterday. I ate a sandwich with a serving of chips and didn’t do a workout. Hopefully soon I can start to get closer to my goal.)

Too much on my mind & didn’t feel tired. I will likely sleep like a baby tonight. I took a 75 minute walk to offset the extra 180 calories I ate. Kitchen remodel slowly continues so I have no livingroom floor to dance in still
05/17 …..xxxxx …..
05/18 …..194.1 ….. I missed the weigh-in & post yesterday. So busy trying to go through all the boxes & laundry baskets full of food before putting it into my new kitchen cabinets. Checking dates etc. Kitchen not done yet, but cabinets are in. Over the next couple of weeks will be some electrical/lighting, drywall repair & paint. Just trying to clean it up before the holiday weekend so I can have my livingroom & kitchen back and maybe even have guests for the holiday weekend. I would love for my DB & DSIL to be able to come up from downstate & stay the weekend. Grab & go food again. So I sniffed carbs & quick foods and it shows on the scale. Not worried. Mainly water & I know what to do. It’s just going to be a tough week with little time for self-care.
05/19 …..194.1 ….. Went out for a quick dinner and tried to make decent choices though eating at home is always closer to plan. Stayed very busy with the kitchen projects. Calories pretty good. Carbs a bit high. No LNS was a plus. Yesterdays Stats: Best guess on food info 1781 Calories In / 2456 Calories Out. 86 Net Carbs. 11,729 Total Steps & 4.96 Miles after standing in place a lot working at filling kitchen cabinets back up. (not done with that project yet!) IF 16:8 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 36 minutes. Very cold yesterday. Raining & storming today. No planned exercise yesterday but a short 10 minute walk & all the housework. Today I clean cabins which will require running in & out of the rain. Ugg. I am going to eat at home today & make better choices. Working on water today too.

***ROUND 77 (my 7th)***Day/Weight/Comment
SW this round (5/12): 144.2
05/13 145 Up 0.8 from yesterday, but not too bad considering it was Mother's Day!
05/14 144.2 Started my gradual bumping up of carbs yesterday (from 20 to 25 net for this round). I totally expected to be up today because extra carbs are accompanied by extra water, plus, I didn't hydrate well yesterday, so this is a nice surprise.
05/15 144.2 Hmmm, again? Not sure why, but it's not a problem. A week left to try to reach my GW for this challenge. 17 days in, I think I'm more fatigued on keto...paying attention to this...
05/16 145 I think this is going to be round of maintaining, not losing. It's okay. I dropped some solid pounds and inches over the last two rounds, so I'm happy with my overall progress! Not expecting any more big whooshes for a while.
05/17 144 Yep. As predicted. Up, down, up.
05/18 144 Lol. Good thing I had low expectations for this round!
05/19 144 At least it's not going up?

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 - 137.2 (-2.4lbs) I don’t know if this is real or if it’s just going to shoot back up to 139. It has been back and forth the last several days. I should be in this range but will see what happens in the coming days.
05/14 - 138.7 (+1.5lbs) and there it is 😆 I’m sure it’s a bit of DOMS causing water retention. Im just going to accept the ups and downs as the new normal. At least it’s not 139s.
05/15 - 139 (+.3) can’t say I’m surprised. Felt bloated last night. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
05/16 - 139.4 (+.4) 😂
05/17 -139.9 (+.5) DOMS? Bloated? Both? No idea. Very annoyed right now though.
05/18 - 141.1 (+1.2) I did eat late and made poor food choices. Woke up full so I’m sure that’s part of it. I know it’s not all real weight though. Just going to get back to eating very clean and not eating out at all. Hopefully things get back on track soon.
05/19 - 139 (-2.1) huge fluctuations. Water retention like crazy. Going to take a few days break from training and hyper focus on eating healthy at home.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 203.7 Was out of town the weekend before plus mother's day, so starting fresh after today.
05/14 202.6 Had a healthy lunch and dinner, kept it mostly low carb.
05/15 201.5 Healthy lunch, but I gave in and had 3/4 of a bread at Panera. Had an unsweetened iced tea
instead of diet soda today! Going to boyfriend's house today after work and he always messes up my healthy eating, so hope to keep making good choices.
05/16 ??? Spent the night at my bf's and his scale is always wrong. Says I'm 203.4, but don't think it's right, so waiting until I get home from work or tomorrow morning to see where I'm at. We had Lucille's for dinner last night, but I portioned everything and skipped on dessert. I did have some diet coke, but also ordered a water and had a little of both. Hope to stay on track today!
05/17 201.1 Had a healthy dinner last night keeping it low carb and only drank coffee and water, no diet sodas! Didn't get to the gym, but decided to take my dog for a walk instead as my workout and feel great! Now just need to get my water up.
05/18 200.6 Knocked out early last night, so been up since 5:30 this morning energized! Had a healthy lunch yesterday and made plank grilled salmon and a salad for dinner. Really happy with results this morning!
05/19 ???- Wen't to my boyfriend's sister's housewarming party last night. Ate very good up until the house party, but I only snacked on a few things and skipped the desserts. Did take a couple shots and had half a coke. Didn't get to weigh in this morning, so hopefully didn't mess up too bad.

05/13 146.8 ugh the bad choices on the weekend. I know this will come off quickly though so my goal should be achievable.
05/14 148.8 deserved
05/15 145.8
05/16 144.6 almost at my low from last round.
05/17 143.4 ?? I’ll take it going into a long weekend.
05/18 144.2 I guess I had a lot more sodium yesterday than I thought. I’m not usually surprised by a rise but I didn’t see this coming. Oh well...things are going pretty well so not worried.

GW: 168lb (12 stone)
Next sub-GW: 182lb (13 stone) 👍
Round Goal: -3lb
R76 end: 183lb (-4lb)
(My scales round to the nearest pound)
Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 - 183lb - after the success of round 76, I let myself have a day of relaxed (but not crazily so) eating before I go hard again this round. Ate over my goal but not more than 1700 calories in total. Back to normal restrictions today!
05/14 - 182lb - sub-goal achieved! Onwards and downwards next sub-goal is 12.5 stone (175lb)!
05/15 - 182lb - made good food choices yesterday, though ate a little later than normal. Looking forward to seeing 12-something (stone) on the scale!
05/16 - 182lb - good food choices yesterday. Still can't go to the gym because of my back but I'm keeping on the food thing! The scales flipped between a couple of numbers so hopefully I'm not far off the next loss!
05/17 - 181lb - bingo! Pretty much same as yesterday, good food choices but no gym. Back is feeling a little better so perhaps next week... Also scale was flipping between 180 and 181 so just maybe...
05/18 - 180lb - hey look at that! Stuck to the food plan yesterday very so very pleased! Also tried some light basic yoga and completely screwed my back up again... Ho hum! But focus on the positives
05/19 - 182lb - totally deserved... Massive salty meal out with friends, beer etc. But its a temporary gain and it'll come off again in a day or two. Onwards and downwards!

ROUND 77 (Round 19 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 54-77 = 44 lb.
I started and finished the last round below my maintenance range. I like the keto WOE and, mostly, stick to that, but I add extra carbs when I’m under 135.
Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 132.6 I’m off to a low start, which means I can indulge a little. Strict adherence to keto paid off while I was losing weight, so I’ve earned the privilege of eating extra carbs. I’ll have rice with my Keto Gumbo this evening. It’s good without the rice, but I don’t want to lose more weight. My husband loves the Keto Gumbo, and, since he’s thin, I always add rice to his serving. Thor and I are going for a long walk today—I’ve kept him waiting for 3 weeks because of our cruise and all the rain since we returned. The sun is shining!
05/14 133.2 Thor and I enjoyed our walk yesterday, but I’m afraid I waited too long and have to get him used to it again. I checked the pavement several times yesterday to make sure it wasn’t too hot, and it seemed okay, and he didn’t act like anything was wrong. He walked some on the grass, but he seems to prefer the pavement. His feet were obviously sore last night. I’ll give him a couple of days before we walk again and keep the next couple of walks a little shorter. Yesterday, we walked a little over 4 miles and jogged part of the way. Thor ran out the door to chase squirrels this morning, but then slowed down. I hope he’s okay.
05/15 133.0 I started strength training with the Chalean Extreme program. I’ve procrastinated and let other activities take priority, but I’ve done it before and know how well it works, so I want to stick with it. I may have to get tough on myself.
05/16 134.2 I’m still below my maintenance range. I had muscle soreness this morning from lifting yesterday, which may account for the gain. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Today was a rest day, and I lift again tomorrow. I brought home two kittens today to be company for my dog, Thor, and keep mice off my back porch (after they grow up). Thor’s a sweet dog, and he had a cat when he was a puppy. I’m convinced he’ll accept the kittens, but it may take a while for them to get used to each other.
05/17 133.8 I haven’t done my strength training today, but it will happen. Tomorrow is a grandchild’s birthday, so I have to make a trip to town before I lift, and, hopefully, I will make it to our community game night this evening. The kittens are doing well. I have the kittens set up with a litter box, food and water bowls, and their bed in a large dog crate next to my German Shepherd’s crate, with a cardboard barrier between them. They were all quiet throughout the night, so we’re off to a good start. I’m too old to trip over anything or any animal at night.
05/18 133.8 I got my strength training in yesterday evening and did a “burn intervals” workout this evening. I enjoyed the grandson’s t-ball game and spending time with the kids this afternoon. We stopped at one of my favorite Mexican food restaurants on the way home. I ate about half my food, didn’t even cut into the shrimp stuffed avocado, so I have lunch for tomorrow. My husband has leftovers, too, so I only have to cook breakfast. That works for me!
05/19 133.6 Happy Sunday! It’s been a good day for me. After church, and visiting my MIL in the nursing home, I took a nap, then finished my first week of Beach Body’s Chalean Extreme, which I’m excited to continue. My results may not be as impressive as they were the first time, when I was (only) 60, but, at 67, I know I will still be stronger and more agile. This time around, I lost the weight before I started strength training. I have plenty of loose skin, so I may not end up as tight, but I won’t let that deter me.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 – 201.0 – Not the best way to start the week or a new challenge, but I’m trying to keep it in perspective and use these ten days to reinforce good habits. Rain all day, so I concentrated on indoor tasks and planned, pre-logged, and prepped most of my meals for the work week. Didn’t want to miss my walking goal on Day 1, so I walked briskly indoors for 35 minutes, incorporating 45 flights of steps to keep my heart rate up. Logging, calories, and water: all good. Wrapping up the evening with a big stack of papers – only 3 more sets to go!
05/14 – 199.2 – Now that’s looking better! Cold and rainy again – brrr! Did 40 minutes walking around a local mall instead of heading home for my planned lunch. Grabbed something on the fly, but kept to my calorie allowance. Drank my water and got through 2 more sets of student essays. Only 1 more to go!
05/15 – 198.8 – Last day of classes! It was nice to see the sun after so much rain. Finished my last stack of papers before class and got the final grades entered before dinner. Then I rewarded my patient pup with a nice long walk in the park (75 min). Started sorting through my summer clothes, trying some on before deciding what works for now and what may (hopefully) need to be replaced by the end of the season. Under my calorie limit, plenty of water, and an invigorating walk! Best of all, the grading is behind me. Summer break starts now
05/16 – 197.6 – First day of break! 50-minute walk on the boardwalk before a laid-back lunch date with my mom and my daughter. Pre-planning the rest of my meals helped me stay on track today.
05/17 – 197.0 – Surprised to see another drop, but I had a gain last round despite being pretty good. Skipped the walk because my feet were hurting and spent the morning shopping online for athletic shoes and sandals with good arch support. Gorgeous day, but energy and motivation were low. Sushi dinner and not enough water. Won’t be surprised to see a bounce back up this weekend, but I'm trying to focus on the trend rather than the day-to-day fluctuations.
05/18 – 197.0 – Lovely day! Did a bit of light gardening and made a trip to the nursery for some pond plants and annuals for the deck boxes. Hoping to finish those on Monday if it doesn’t rain. Walked for an hour before dinner, enjoying one of the narrow woodland trails before it’s overgrown. Skipped the wine and stayed under my calorie limit to bank a little for a dinner out tomorrow. Hope it works!
05/19 – 197.0 – Holding steady. Made an early start in the garden this morning and finished the new perennial bed at the end of the driveway. Then down to the beach for a long walk and a calorie splurge lunch. Over on calories and way over on sodium, so we’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Round 77 (My first round)
Female, 4'11, age 57
Goal weight: 110
Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 149.8 Bummer - weight increased from weekend of 148.8, (drop after being almost constant since May 1) although within normal variation it seems. Seems that since I have increased calories to about 1400, but also increased number of calories burned that my weight seems to be more unstable on a day to day basis. water weight retention due to increased exercise? measurement error in exercise calories (likely)? error in food calories (likely)? Would expect a daily decrease based on calorie deficit, but clearly more complex than that as loss seems to be nonlinear.
05/14 149.8 well at least it did not go up again... seems to be a pattern of late to see a biggish drop of 1-2 pounds in a day, slight increases over a couple of days, and then another big drop. Wish I could determine why exactly and eliminate those ups! not enough data yet to correlate :-)
05/15 149.6 a 0.2 decrease !!! I'll take anything!
05/16 148.5 YEAH!!! 1.1 lb decrease and I finally made short term goal of having BMI drop below obese category!!!!!!!!! now onto goal of getting out of overweight category into healthy weight. Will see if weight stays at or below this for tomorrow. Again food diary and exercise diary predicts that I should see a drop, but I am guessing there will be a lag. Shorter term goal is to reach half-way point which is just five pounds away. So close, yet so far!
05/17 148.0 After the plateau from the 1st of May to the 12th, really excited to see another decrease!!!! Afraid it will go up tomorrow, but trying hard to keep track of food calories accurately and get back to the loss of 2 lbs/week goal. 4.5 lbs to midpoint on this journey!!!!
05/18 149.9 Well the nonlinear uptick today (which is starting to get predictable after a one day big drop) just wiped out the week's loss and BMI is back into obese category :-( Did cardio (spin class) and weights (just arms/chest) yesterday so definitely had a decent calorie burn, but did eat dinner later than normal last night. Grilled shrimp tossed with red/green cabbage and carrots, with soba noodles, mandarin oranges, cashews, mint, basil & cilantro, and a dark sesame oil/orange/rice wine vinegar dressing with a crisp rose. Lots of bulk with the cabbage. Slept in today and then went to gym for the step aerobics class (45 min with another 15 minutes weights/stretching). 15 minutes walking to cool down and then home to go out with family for lunch and to a u-pick strawberry farm. Picked 5 pounds of berries!!!! Super ripe and juicy and still warm from the sun!!!! Making overnight oats with yogurt and strawberries and will look for a sugar free ice-cream recipe, so let me know if anyone has any good suggestions!
05/19 149.1 Down again - I'll take it, especially as yesterday I was above calories for BRM! Hope this is the downward trend again :-) Today was slow day for exercise. 15 minutes on elliptical and then some core exercises. Need to update food diary, but should be blow target for the day. Will see what tomorrow brings!
