Day/Weight/Comment
05/22 …..194.6 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

05/23 …..194.6 ….. Hard to believe after another day of travel that the scale did not move in the wrong direction this time. I’m hoping it does not show up in a few days like it sometimes does. Good luck everyone this round!

05/24 …..195.8 ….. And there it is from the travels! Yesterdays stats: 2080 Calories In / 3034 Calories Out. 123 Net Carbs. 20,198 Total Steps & 8.66 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 37 minutes which was fabulous! I took a 44 minute walk in the neighborhood after my higher calorie/carb dinner.

05/25 …..195.8….. Holding steady but *%$#*^ I had LNS I should not even have in the house. Sorry grandchildren, it is all going in the trash can today! I’ve got to get a hold of my diet. I am doing good exercising and/or movement so it’s clearly my diet that is failing me. Yesterdays Stats: 2376 Calories In / 2547 Calories Out. 114 Net Carbs. 15,123 Total Steps & 6.4 Total Miles. IF 16:8 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 44 minutes. I raked & hauled leaves for 52 minutes & I took a 22 minute walk after dinner.

05/26 …..194.7 ….. Now we’re talking! I decided at about midnight to prep cook for the next 4 days lunch (or dinner) meals. I was tired but I knew I had to do something. This will make it easier over the next few days as the guys continue to work on my kitchen. Yesterdays Stats: 1385 Calories In / 2504 Calories Out. 25 Net Carbs. 12,531 Total Steps & 5.3 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 11 minutes which felt great. I took a short 20 minute walk. I’m feeling pretty strong right now & hope to stay on this horse & ride awhile. I found that I was so sick of some of my keto recipes that I didn't think I could stomach another bite so I got online & found some new ones to help keep my diet more varied & it's working. The new recipes are great & tasty. I just had to find/take the time but it was so worth it. My goal is to keep researching & finding more. Those great recipes and tastes are out there.......

05/27 …..194.3 ….. Another step in the right direction. Loving my new recipes & I need to do more prep cooking but today I have two roofs being put on over 2 of the cabins & I’m spring cleaning another cabin which is a two day process including removal of all furnishings, appliances & beds/furniture so I don’t know that I’ll fit it in. Yesterdays stats: 1073 Calories In / 2643 Calories Out. 30 Net Carbs mostly veggies. 14,371 Total Steps & 6.08 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 2 hours & 18 minutes so I will be very tired later. That left me a lot of “awake” hours which make the hunger & cravings worse, but I powered through. No planned exercise. Too busy running the business & cleaning cabins during this holiday travel burst, but lots of movement. Have a great Memorial Day everyone.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23- 321.8- I’m really surprised by this. Yesterday was a celebration day in my house, and we had pie. I ate a large portion. And then me and my husband stayed up till 4 am playing a game together. And I woke up feeling swollen, with lots of inflammation. So maybe it’s a false low, or maybe I didn’t mess things up too much
05/24- 321.6- woohoo! I’m so excited by this momentum and I can’t wait to see it continue!
05/25- 321.6- I’ll take it, holding steady!
05/26- 323.2- I am incredibly bummed to see this. I know it’s probably water and inflammation but after seeing good numbers this is a real bummer.
05/27- 321.8- There we go, that’s what I want to see

OSW 382
RSW 327.4


05/23 326.4 A nice start to the round.

05/24 328.0 I’m not surprised by the bounce up, it happens whenever I have a hotdog. In addition I did some weight lifting yesterday and a couple of muscles are a little stiff/sore today. Last but not least I went a bit overboard with some cookies a couple of days ago and it usually takes a day or two for things like that to show in my weight. It’s okay though as I’m fully on track again and know that I’ll see a loss again soon.

05/25 328 I’m not sure why I didn’t have a drop. I’m guessing that I’m still retaining water weight. Hopefully I’ll see a drop soon.

05/26 329.6 I’m trying to tell myself that it’s pre tom bloat weight. I’ve been on track and low sodium, I log and weigh everything, so at this point that’s the only thing that makes sense. Tom should arrive tomorrow and hopefully I’ll see some drops.

05/27 328.8 That’s a good sign and hopefully once tom starts I’ll see more bloat weight go.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23: 193.0 (I had a slight increase in weight and I'm sure it's because of soreness and TOM has just barely ended. I'm staying the course and hope the weight falls off as my body adjusts back to a more normal cycle. I made some chicken breast kabobs and rice for dinner last night and did a 55 minute TurboFire workout.)

05/24: 192.0 (My body loves this number! My weekly loss this week is 0.8 pounds. It's still the lowest weight I've been since on this weight loss thing. I hope to make my goal next Friday! I did my 5K training last night. I do 30 minutes and 3 of those minutes I ran consecutively! I was proud of that. It was hard no doubt about that! I made meatball subs for dinner last night and had a small one.)

05/25: 191.8 (Woohoo a new low! I did not expect this at all and I’m happy to see it. Last night I went out to dinner with hubby and some family. I had a couple pieces of bread and some short ribs. I did not do a workout yesterday.)

05/26: 191.0 (Now thats a new low! I officially have 50 pounds to go until my goal weight. I’m so close to my mini goal weight for Happy Scale. Once I hit 190 my reward is a gym membership. I’m so excited! Last night I did no workout and I was at my nephews 4th birthday party and ate a lot.)

05/27: 192.0 (This is an amazing Monday weigh in! I know this will be an amazing week and I hope I can get into a new decade by Friday! I ate pizza last night for a friends bday party and I did my 5K training yesterday during a little rain and 50 degree weather. I ran 3 minutes in a row and could’ve done more but followed my plan.)

05/23 - 136.1 (-.8) - off to a good start. Did yoga yesterday and some other random cardio. Ate chips for the first time in awhile but didn’t go overboard, ate healthy otherwise. Not feeling bloated but I do feel sore from yoga.
05/24 - 136.4 (+.3) - feeling bloated. Food and exercise was good yesterday.
05/25 - 136.4 (0) - worked out quite a bit (yoga and cardio), drank 11 glasses of water, healthy food.
05/26 - 136.4 (0) - I believe TOM is hitting again in a few days causing water retention. Will see. Happy there hasn’t been a gain!
05/27 - 137 (+.6) - there’s the jump. It’s definitely water retention. DOMS, TOM coming.

@FarmerCarla thank you for the encouragement. I did not run or jog when younger, somehow the older me thinks it would be a good idea.

@1991court thank you for your encouragement. I am hoping that variety will keep me motivated.

Goal: Last round was disappointing. Did manage with the steps though! With hope it is just water retention keeping last rounds goals - see a 93.xx and walk 10k daily.

05/23-95.4⚖️ and 6,500🚶‍♀️. Was terribly tired yesterday and it rained crazy in the evening right when I planned to take my evening walk. Not a good start. Trying to keep positive (starting high is easier to see the numbers fall ) Will give a couple more days before I remove the checkmark from the 2nd goal. Let's hope I don't have to.
05/24- 95.0⚖️ and 13,200 🚶‍♀️. Ran a bit will try to get my timing bettet. Goal:5k in under 45 min.
05/25-95.0⚖️ and 4,700🚶‍♀️ 0.5km 🏊‍♀️ 10km 🚴‍♀️.
05/26-95.3⚖️ and 11,500 🚶‍♀️(5k race!) 12 km 🚴‍♀️. Race goal ACHIEVED : 5K in 44:25! Next goal to maintain this at least one more time. As for weight - I don't know what happened but the higher weight category just stuck (I was floating around 94.5 for a while until the scales just showed 95.7 one day and didn't really come down from there for 2 rounds now) so I need to remove my 2nd goal check-mark
Proud of all the sports I've been doing lately will keep up with that till I have the powers to jump on the significant diflict eating wagon, will keep on maintenance calories for now, unless I see the weight will start increasing. Then I know I'm doing something wrong.
05/27-96.0⚖️ and 9,600 🚶‍♀️. I give up. Will log weight on my app but i am done reporting till my body figures out wt*.

Sat 25/05: 164.8: Goals ✅
Sun 26/05: 164.9: Goals ✅ Both my knee and elbow are definitely on the mend. I regard it as a win if I can maintain at the minute because of my enforced inactivity.

Mon 27/05: 164.4: Goals ✅ Planned to plant up containers for my terrace today, but rain stopped play. It's early days yet. I will get them done when the rain passes through.

Sat 04/05: 163.2: Goals: move more than yesterday, spring-clean bedroom ✅ Now I’ve developed a throaty head cold. Gotta get on top of this! Feel really washed out!
Sun 05/05: 163.6: Goals: Nurse my cold ✅ Too whacked to do much else My energy levels have been really low today. Sleeping a lot and having an early night.
Mon 06/05: 162.4: Goals: [/i]put the house back in order after being sick last week. ✅ I didn’t expect another drop so soon, but I have been largely under budget for the last week. [/i]
Tue 07/05: 162.6: Goals: Start prep for packing for trip to Croatia on Friday. ✅ knee and cold definitely on the mend.
Wed 08/05: 162.0: Goals: Shopping at the mall, remedial knee exercises. Sort out meds for the cold. ✅ Started packing. Knee held up well to a little more gentle walking at the mall.

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

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

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

What?!?!?!? Give up?!?!? That's NOT in our vocabulary here! You're just frustrated, right? You may have to alter your weight loss plan, but you can't just give up! We're with you! It would be too sad to let yourself down! You can do this!

ROUND 78 (Round 20 for me)
5’4 ½” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
Goal: Maintain between 135 and 140 lb. and increase muscle mass
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-70 = 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.

05/23 134.4 Ten days go by so quickly! Yesterday, I did a 3.5 mile walk with my dog, Thor, in the morning and strength training in the afternoon. Today was a rest day, and I played Canasta with friends. My shoulders were sore today, so I’m glad it was a rest day.
05/24 134.2 Thor and I walked about 3.5 miles today. We jogged about a half mile of it, only up-hill and flat areas—no down-hill. My knee isn’t bothering me now, the orthotics have relieved the Morton’s Neuroma problem in my toes, and I’m pretty sure I can work up to running again. I miss running 5K and 10K races. I’m sticking with the strength training, too, and that helps my knees.
05/25 132.6 Part of this drop is because we didn’t get to bed until 3 a.m., and I didn’t get up until almost 11:30! A late start makes for a short day. Tonight, I don’t plan to stay up that late. I haven’t don’t today’s cardio workout in my strength training program, so I’m about to do that. Tomorrow morning, I leave early to sing, with our gospel group, at a church in the area, so I’ll miss my own church service. Since I lead the singing at my church, I try not to miss very often. My sweet husband will take over tomorrow, but he’d rather just play his guitar and let me lead.
05/26 134.6 I intended to go to bed early last night, but it was after 2 a.m., and up again at 6:30. (sigh) That always results in a higher scale number, but it’s still under maintenance, and I had a good day. The morning concert went well, and I took a nap before working in the yard. I didn’t get my strength training in, but tomorrow’s another day.
Before dark yesterday, my husband brought Thor in and said Thor had alerted on a rattlesnake in the yard. My husband said he’d take care of it, so I continued with my cardio workout. A few minutes later, DH knocked on the back door and again on the front door before I could get to either, so I went out to look for him. I grabbed a hoe and heard the snake in the front yard before my husband showed up with a spade. Well, the rattlesnake waited for me to go back in the house and get my revolver loaded with snake shot, and I ended his threat to our tranquility. What I didn’t realize until later was that I was in the front yard, shooting a snake, while only wearing short shorts and a bra. Fortunately, we live in the country, and it’s possible only my husband saw me. Praise God, all is well.
05/27 133.8 I said I was skipping my strength training workout last night, but, at 1 a.m., I just had to do it. This morning, 11 a.m., I completed my cardio and stretching workout. So, I’m still on track with my strength training program. I’m afraid if I give myself a break, I won’t stop with just one. That’s how I gained back the 40 pounds I had to lose again! I want to think I’ve learned my lesson. Time will tell. No walk for Thor this morning, since I was up until 4 a.m. and didn’t get out of bed this morning before it got too hot to take him for a long walk. I will do better tomorrow morning.

Round 10 for me, and have been slacking some. I feel like I am losing my motivation and hubby starting to eat out again. This makes it very hard to lose weight, at least for me. I don’t always have will power to stay away from the foods I don’t need. So this round going to really focus on getting my head back into it.

Pounds loss are from the weight of the previous round, because starting weight varies.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 – 195.8 not off to a good start again (a gain). I ate too much last night, and can’t let it bother me and get my head back in the right place. I am losing motivation early in my weight loss (its only 3 months since I started over again and been steady)
05/24 – 193.4 this was a surprise, was not expecting
05/25 – 195.6 I am sabotaging myself and I don’t know how to stop. I have to get my head back in the game. Last night I was binge eating ( I finished the fish and at more watermelon and didn’t log it.
05/26 – I did not weigh, skipped out this weekend, have been binge eating primarily healthy just over abundance of choices. I have been struggling and just gave in to the binging.
05/27 – 206 I expected higher with all my binge eating this weekend.

Day/Weight/Comment

05/23 – 143 – I hope I can hold on to this weight for the next couple days before the weekend festivities begin.
05/24 – 143 – So far so good.
05/25 – 142.5 -
05/26 – 144 – My rings were very tight this morning, so I’m assuming this was water weight. However, after our picnic today, I’m sure I will be up tomorrow due to the food and drinks. It’s OK though, one day won’t derail me and we had a lot of fun.
05/27 – 145 – There it is! I hope it doesn’t keep bouncing up tomorrow. I’m going to be really mindful the rest of the week.

2) Get through my daily To Do list – no procrastination!
3) Keep up with logging and make thoughtful food choices, no matter where I am.

Day/Weight/Comment

05/23 – 197.2 – Up a bit to start. Thunderstorms on and off all day, so no walk. But I got lots of errands done and dropped the car off for service. Good food choices and plenty of water, but I’m feeling sluggish today. Guess I need to work on my sleep too.

05/24 – 195.8 – And down a bit more. With the car in the shop, I got tons of stuff done in the house and easily met my step goal. Went out for ices with the grandkids after dinner and still stayed under my calorie limit. Overall, a good day.

05/25 – 195.0 – Nice drop going into the weekend, but I expect I’ll see a bounce back up on Tuesday after the long weekend. Worked all day in the garden and finally finished the deck boxes. Such a perfect day for it – mostly sunny with low humidity and a cool breeze – that I think I overdid it a bit. I’ll be stiff tomorrow, but I’m perfectly relaxed tonight after a hot shower and a glass of wine. (Oh, and all goals met today!)

05/26 – 195.0 – Holding steady. On the road for a family BBQ today.

05/27 – No scale – Way over on food and under on steps, but I’ve had two fantastic days with four generations of family, including all my kids and grandkids. Best workout was walking and rocking my new granddaughter

Day 5 of Round 78

First timer on message board and challenge.

Age: 55
Height: 5' 4"
Recovering from abdominal hysterectomy and benign tumor removal on 4/02/2019. It was recommended I see a nutritionist since my activity is low to non-existent with 12 week recovery. It was fortunate I visited the community page on MFP and found this challenge. The challenge helps with accountability.

OSW - 201.1 (Feb. 2019)
RSW - 183.4
RGW - 181.0
UGW - 135-140

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 - 183.4 - first day of logging food and weighing portions.

05/24 - 181.4 - yesterday I made a conscience effort to drink all my water, smarter food choices, weigh all food portions and no eating after 7pm. I decided my 12 week recovery doesn't entitle me to eat whatever and whenever.

05/25 -181.1 - I'm happy with the loss since I was not as diligent with water in take and had dinner at 8:30 pm. One of my college sons home and I waited to have dinner with him. I am hoping to go for a 3 mile walk today.

05/26 - 181.6 - I'm finding it challenging to eat before 7:00 pm with all my family home. We had another late night dinner and staying up way too late. I decided to enjoy my family over the holiday weekend and focus on fine tuning my eating and time frame on Tuesday. I won't go crazy with my food choices, however, I will allow myself to enjoy and (try) not to feel too guilty over the holiday weekend.

05/27 - 181.2 - a little more water yesterday. I believe I will have better focus for the remainder of the challenge. I enjoyed the holiday weekend with my kids being home.

Day/Weight/Comment

05/23 181 lbs - went out with a friend last night and had some Mexican food and two cocktails, so I was expecting a bit of water weight this morning. Hoping to have dropped it by the weekend, but I’m positive I will.

05/24 178.9 lbs I was hungry most of yesterday even though I wasn’t even that active. I snacked on strawberries mostly and drank lots of water.

05/25 179.3 lbs No idea where this comes from. I was well within my calorie limit yesterday and even worked out some 🤷‍♀️

05/26 178.4 lbs Sometimes I don’t get it. Had burger (without the bun) and a few fries yesterday and was sure I’d gain a pound of water weight because of the sodium alone. I guess I did sweat it out in the gym last night 😜

05/27 178.2 lbs slooooow but steady 🙄 did really well yesterday, both with food and water intake, so I’m hoping to see results soon.

05/28 177.9 lbs Ugh. Too slow for my liking!
