    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.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    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.
    05/28 135 Thor and I got a walk and some jogging in yesterday, but it was a busy day/evening. It was after midnight before I finished my Bible study, so I put off posting the study and my weight.
    05/29 133.8 I started the day with my strength training, delivered meals on wheels, then took my car in to repair a leaky tire. It seems I ran over a screw. The tire shop was close to a Home Depot, so I walked over and bought a rug so my shoes don’t slip on some of the exercises I’m doing. Today was the first day of my third week doing the Chalean Extreme strength training program. It’s not easy, but I already feeling stronger. Chalene Johnson teaches how to exercise (including squats and lunges) without hurting my knees. I appreciate that. About 10 years ago, I had to quit a boxercise class because I wasn’t taught that lesson, and my knees were killing me.
    05/30 134.4 I didn’t weigh this morning, because the electricity went out during the morning storm, and there wasn’t enough light to read the scale. I played cards with friends, had lunch, ran errands, took a nap, then decided to step on the scale. Now, it’s after midnight, so I need to get to bed so I can take Thor for an early walk before it gets too hot.
    05/31 134 I had a short night—rose early to take Thor for our walk/jog. I’m gradually increasing our jogging time. Still no knee or toe pain! I completed my strength training session, too. I hadn't checked my ketone level lately, since I've allowed myself a few more carbs lately, but I decided to check, and I was still in the burn range at 0.6 mmol/L. Listening to the radio this morning, I heard a reference to a pit bull attack a few years ago on a 65 yr. old, “elderly” woman. I’m 67, but I’m not elderly! I have an active friend who's 85, still jogs, and she's not elderly, either! Some of us "mature" folks are more fit and can do more than a lot of teenagers. It's fun to surprise them.
    06/01 132.2 My weight reflects a full night of sleep. As usual, I went to bed late, but slept until 10:40. I enjoyed my Saturday—nice breakfast, cardio workout, mowed the lawn, and my husband did maintenance on the tractor and outlined the pasture for me so I can mow the pasture this week, if it doesn’t rain first. We’re blessed!

    @CAS_53 You are down a pound in this challenge - that’s STILL a good thing!

    @deepwoodslady Donna, I think I ❤️ you. I know that you will succeed. Keep your eye on the prize and don’t let folks take advantage of your kind heart. 🤗 {{{HUGS}}} 🤗 (Amen on the senior discount!)

    @StatChicBayes Some people might say I’m obsessed with the scale but when we last made a cross country car trip, the scale went with us. I just wish I could take it when we fly. I worry about it being broken in the rough handling of luggage and restricted weight limits . . . Glad DD#1 has the same scale in OK.

    Round 32
    SW 135.8
    GW 133
    UGW 125

    5/23 135.8 9/31 accomplished holding steady I guess

    5/24 135.8 x day. My brothers birthday so I indulged in some cake. 9/31 accomplished, still holding steady

    5/25 137.6 10/31 accomplished a slight gain from yesterday's indulgence. I will see what my weight says tomorrow but it is a little concerning. I have been doing 16/8 fasting (so far straight with no breaks) and I hope this isn't a foreshadowing of weight gain from not sticking the course

    5/26 137 11/31 accomplished a slight drop, that's good. Completed week two of my fast. So far so good I am watching my micro/macros as well as my calories I just hope I see some better results come week three. I am switching up my fast for this week because I had my mother complain over the weekend about my 24 hour fast on Sundays, considering the past two Sundays have been family dinners. I found another one that is more flexible for weekends but will probably switch back if there are no plans. Is anyone else fasting? Do you use apps? I am using body fast app and was wondering if paying for the couch would be a good idea, does anyone here use that app? Does anyone have any stories to share about their own fasting experiences...

    5/27 136.8 11/31 another x, i am afraid. So my brothers birthday dinner carried on until tonight and I couldn't help myself. I know I promised only 3 days of cheating but I am going to have to add a fourth. That s life

    5/28137.6 12/31 accomplished a slight gain from yesterday that is ok though, i am determined to re drop back to the weight i was at the starting of these 10 days.

    5/29 138.6 accomplished 13/31. There is the gain from Monday's cake.

    5/30137.2 14/31 accomplished a big drop... Which is nice to see

    5/31 136.8 another x which is 5 total...more than I wanted by still not too bad for a month. I had a super hungry day and was kind of down because of the effort and work I have been putting into dieting and exercising....Plus the fast and not seeing the results I was expecting. I really had high hopes for this set of 10 days and it seems like my weight just likes it here and doesn't want to move. It is starting to get on my nerves a bit because at least before I could blame it on me not being diligent or working for it....but now that I am being strict with myself I can't find an issue to fix for my constant 3 pound yo-yoing. I guess my body likes it here and just wants to straddle this weight a bit longer..I hope the next 10 days brings a better drop. Plateauing sucks!

    6/1 138.8 yikes. I am starting to realize what I am doing wrong and I had a serious look at what is causing my weight fluctuations. Since the 13th I have had 6 days of not sticking to it...which is practically a whole week of eating freely out of the last 20 days. This is not good and it's obvious my yo-yoing is caused by me loosing weight, regaining a couple of pounds and then having to re loose that weight, just to have another cheat meal day. I know for some of you readers this may have been as clear as day and I probably annoyed some readers by being oblivious but I did need this experiment to really microscope the issue. A little background information for you, I live/am around 5 20-something year old boys who non stop eat everyday. They don't gain weight and snacks, ordering out etc. Is constant. So while I am trying to stick the course, this is constantly around me. I am not justifying the issues I am having (I can walk away or find something to do when my trigger senses go off) I am just simply explaining that food wise, my weeks feel longer then they are and the cheat meals not as often as they really are.....Just simply because of what I am constantly being exposed too. I recently joined an MFP group called UAC and I am hoping this will keep me on track. Given that it begins at the beginning of the month, I am going to attempt this non stop dieting experiment all over again. *sigh* For positive spin on things, at least I am not giving up. I am forgiving myself and moving on....again. I realized that is how life goes and this isn't a race, this is a lifestyle.

    JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 78 (round 10 for me !) I'm in for another round, need to lose rest of vacation weight !

    Female age 61 5' 4”

    Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it!

    Away for long bank holiday weekend, but still in UK so shall take my scales with me!

    Round goal – 130 which is just below the end weight of round 76

    End of round 69 134.2 lbs
    End of round 70 133.6
    End of round 71 132.4
    End of round 72 133.2
    End of round 73 132.8
    End of round 74 132
    End of round 75 131.4
    End of round 76 130.2
    End of round 77 132.4

    Day/Weight/Comment

    05/23 132 – just under 14 ½ miles walked yesterday and an hours yoga
    05/24. 133.4 - 4.5 miles walked pushing my toddler grandson in his pushchair for his nap!!!
    05/25 134.4 - 10 miles walked yesterday and started course of antibiotics & I see they contain high sodium!
    05/26 134 - just short of 13 miles walked yesterday around the beautiful peaceful Elan Valley reservoirs.
    05/27 134 - 5 miles walked. It seems I missed a day posting? I think it was Friday, had to queuing at my Dr's surgery from 7.45 in order to get an appointment; I've put it right now!

    05/28 135.6 - damn medication!!! Still, halfway through and infection is responding. 5 miles walked yesterday.

    05/29 136.4 - 10 ¼ miles walked yesterday
    05/30 136.4 - 5 ½ miles walked yesterday. Has the antibiotic sodium weight levelled out ?
    05/31 135.2 – 6 ¾ miles walked yesterday pushing my toddler grandson in his pushchair to the park and back.
    06/01 134.4 – just short of 9 miles walked yesterday. Must get back down to end of round 76 weight.
