Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 148.8 on vacation in Nashville through Sunday so trying to get a workout in the morning since will have restaurant food most meals.
05/24 148.3 was severely lacking on water yesterday so going to try to amp it up today.
05/25 149.8, ok with anything this weekend since having a great time and won’t eat this way when get back on Monday
05/26 149.9, heading back home later this afternoon. Had Nashville hot chicken and it was so good. Very happy that’s not available where I live since no temptation now haha
05/27 151, back home and hoping I can get back in the 148s by the end of the round. I worked out for an hour today and ate really healthy so back on track!
05/28 150.1, planning on working out 60 minutes today and running errands after work that I put off yesterday when I caught up on sleep.
05/29 148.5, happy with how I’ve worked out and eaten the last two days. Should be able to continue today
05/30 147, great drop but skeptical I’m actually this weight since this is a new low. I think if I see a 146 this round I might break something doing a happy dance haha! I’m watching the basketball game tonight with some friends after a planned 60 minute workout so the 146 may have to wait to next round.
05/31 146.8, going to try to work out for 60+ today so that I can end May with as low as a number as possible. I wasn’t expecting to see a 146 number and even if I end at a 147 number, pretty happy the way this round went.

I am so excited I joined last round. I had done these in the past. This time around I am getting some medical assistance which is why I am dropping so quick, that and staying in 1200-1400 calories! I am just so excited to actually make progress, I haven't been this weight in years!!

05/27: 207.0? Surprised but body is sore so I'm sure I have a lot of inflammation right now.
05/28: 207.6 Above still applies but time to reevaluate what I'm doing. I have stayed under my sugars but last two days indulged a bit. Cutting that crap out.
05/29: 207.6 Okay no gain. Fingers crossed for tomorrow loss.
05/30: 207.0 Ok that's a better direction.
05/31: 207.2 I don't understand, yes I realize this is a small gain. However, these issues is what derailed me in the past. This time I am also taking Phentermine, which all of a sudden doesn't seem to be working. No appetite suppression, no jitters nothing... Wonder what the deal is.. Every time I've given up 207 has been the sweet spot it's like I cannot get down and stay down from here.... UGH

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. 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 ….. 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.
05/27 …..194.3 ….. 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.
05/28 …..195.1 ….. Holiday weight. Yesterdays stats as best calculated. 2480 Calories In / 2716 Calories Out. 170 Net Carbs (ouch!) 15,021 Total Steps & 6.36 Total Miles. IF 16:8 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 10 minutes. I woke up with a stiff neck again without having changed my pillow. I did 11 minutes on the elliptical & took a short 11 minute walk mid-afternoon. Moving on toward continued successes.
05/29 …..194.6 ….. Today I had to take my DB to the emergency room (about 60 miles each way from home). He is okay but will need to see a neurologist which will be located Gosh knows where. Lunch out of town. Okay choices but not perfect. Dinner tonight is back to plan so I’m proud it has not turned into a binge. Yesterdays stats: 1827 Calories In / 2839 Calories Out. 48 Net Carbs. 14,641 Total Steps & 6.2 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 41 minutes. No planned exercise but I finished Spring Cleaning a cabin.

05/30 …..195.4 ….. All sitting yesterday during the long drive to the hospital & during the long sitting periods in the emergency room. The hospital serves several towns & counties so it is always packed. No movement, no steps & no calorie burn. All restaurant or vending foods. This trip was not planned & it showed up on the scale. Back to business today. This set-back will stop me from my goal, but I hope I can at LEAST get back to my starting point. Yesterdays sad stats: At best count 2386 Calories In / 2017 Calories Out. 137 Net Carbs. 6838 Total Steps & 2.89 Total Miles. I came home exhausted & stiff since I am not used to the amount of sitting done yesterday. Even the long trips for shopping & building supplies for my business offers some walking when I reach my desitination. Not an Emergency Room trip! I slept about 5 hours & 54 minutes last night & I woke up tired this morning. I have lots to do. Kitchen reno man will be coming today to do final sanding on some drywall. He is a local handyman that I use often but his hours are very limited. He is also supposed to put all new spark plugs & a general “tune-up” in my riding lawn mower & both of my push mowers because all of them are running bad. I will be doing some polyeurethaning to some trim boards outside (I’ve already done several coats of stain) & I will be doing a small amount of primering & painting in my livingroom (he moved a plug for me). I am going to do a small prep cook this afternoon before he arrives so I can finish out this round with some carefully planned foods.

05/31 …..195.3 …..
Last minute emergency trip to help family. This is my final weigh-in. I will be home the evening or night of June 1st and will read all the posts & post a message but no morning weigh-in. I will be able to resume the weigh-ins on Day #1 (morning of June 2nd) of Round 79. That is assuming that all goes well while out of town for the day & night. Here is yesterdays stats: 1481 Calories in / 2789 Calories Out. Net Carbs 46 mostly veggies. 15,306 Total Steps & 6.48 Total Miles. IF 18:6 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 11 minutes.


06/01 …..xxxxx ….. No morning weigh-in. Home later to post.

@FarmerCarla Typo on weight 5/30?

@shay_L_D Posts on the board can only be edited for 1 hour. Keep your notes on your device and add or edit daily, then copy and paste to the board. I use a Note on my phone.

@csilverthorn22 I have to agree about the gym. I’ve been for the last 3 days and am looking forward to today. My friend and I are only doing treadmill right now but I’m building up my speed and actually increased the incline yesterday. The incline sometimes bothers my fused spine or other attached parts, so I am extra careful. I had forgotten how good the gym makes me feel!

@1991court I would suggest dropping your carb intake slowly to see if that helps.

@deepwoodslady Donna, sending prayers that the emergencies are over so you can take care of YOU!🙏🙏😘😘

@GrandmaJackie Thank you for posting Round 79!!

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.

5/22 125.5

5/23 127.0 Ate at a Chinese restaurant. I had General Tso’s chicken and even ate some steamed rice. This is what high carb, junk carbs, do to me.
5/24 126.5 Going to Pahrump for lunch today, Aviators game tonight.
5/25 125.5 Had a lovely steak salad yesterday, half for early lunch and half dinner. Had no snacks at the ball game or at home. Sewing day today. May make Keto goodie to share. No adult beverages last night.
5/26 125.0
5/27 124.5 Yesterday we had champagne brunch. I ate bacon, sausage, scrambled egg, one small spring roll, one fried dumpling, some sautéed squash, 2 glasses of champagne. Later ate 1 Keto snickerdoodle, 6 sunflower seeds and a handful of pork rinds. Memorial Day picnic today

Lost down to 180 doing lazy keto last spring, but the summer vacations came and then the holidays
and I put all of the weight back on. I am going to be consistant with tracking my food...good or bad...and
get healthier this year.

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.

Round 77 - SW - 176.2 EW - 178.8 -Average weight over 10 days - 177

May 23 - 176.8 - I had a fairly decent day yesterday. Managed to get a walk in and ate within calories.

May 24 - 176.4 - another decent day yesterday. Spent the day with Michaela, we planted some flowers and cleaned up the yard.

May 25 - 179.4 - I don’t believe this can be accurate. I will see tomorrow I guess.

May 26 - 179.8 - ugh this is mostly carbs and sodium I think. I haven’t eaten that much over my calorie goal. I need to go buy some fruits and veggies today.

May 27 - 179.6 - better day yesterday, it will take a few days for the carb weight to drop though.

May 28 - 177.8 - another good day yesterday. I need a lot more of these days.

May 29 - 177.6 - very busy day yesterday. Got a lot accomplished.

May 30 - 179.6 - high carb day again. I swear starting Tuesday I’m going to cut back on carbs for the month and see how I do. I’m doing it then instead of now because the Bachelorette is the weekend and I need my pay to get some groceries.

May 31 - 179.8 - ok I’m done this round until Monday. I am away this weekend with no scale celebrating my daughters bachelorette party with her! I know I’ll be up the next round, but it will be worth it.

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.)

05/28: 192.0 (Staying right here, but that's okay! I had a good day yesterday just relaxing after a busy weekend. I did a bunch of laundry and grocery shopping as well. We had cheese quesadillas with chips and queso for dinner last night and I did a 55 minute TurboFire workout.)

05/29: 191.4 (I did my 5K training yesterday and added 3 more minutes of running to include 6 now. OMG was that difficult! There are tons of hills by my house and when I was going downhill, I felt like my form was horrible and I was stomping my feet. The next time I run, I'm going to focus on my form to not injure myself. I made eggs and potatoes last night with fruit for dinner. So close to goal!!)

05/30: 192.0 (I kind of knew this was going to happen. I did not do a workout due to some intense shoulder pain all day long which is a flare up from an old volleyball injury I got in high school. I iced the shoulder and then put an icy hot patch to relieve the pain. I'm also sore in my legs and mostly my inner thighs from my workouts Monday and Tuesday. I'm hoping for a new low tomorrow morning! Happy Scale says I should make my weight on Saturday! I made Mexican pizzas last night (copycat Taco Bell recipe )

05/31: 192.0 (That’s unfortunate. I’ve been at a 750 calorie deficit per day and can’t seem to pass this weight. My weekly weigh in came out to the same. So I maintained this week. I have no idea what it would be. I’m not sore so maybe it’s something to do with my stomach. I ate a chicken teriyaki vegetable bowl yesterday and did a 55 minute turbo fire workout.)

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 390.4
05/24 390.6 (+ 0.2) I am back. Very stress. Selling my Dad’s building. Very hard going thru his clothes. My sister did not want to sale until he dies. Long story, but my Dad is going to be living a while and thankfully he seems to be adjusting well to the nursing home. Which is private pay. My sister did not want to sell because she was living rent free. I am power of attorney. I told her we could not afford to pay for two residences for my Dad and his money was not for us to pay for her residence when she can work. She finally moved and agreed to sale but our relationship is still strained and it only us two. But at least we are still talking even if not much. My Dad comes first. Now pity party is over and back to taking care of me. I will start back going to WW meetings Wed. Online only was not working. I need the weekly support and check ins. I am going to try checking in here more too on week days especially.
05/25 386.0 (- 4.6)
05/26 385.6 (- 0.4)
05/27 387.4 (+ 1.8) Not perfect over weekend but I definitely made some good choices. Last night at grocery store, made it out of there with NO sweets. Put back a slice of carrot cake. Picked up some fruit and fudge pop sicles. Have leftovers from yesterday.
05/28 388.4 (+ 1.0)
05/29 385.8 (- 2.6) I went back to WW meeting today with old leader. Meeting was wonderful. Could not find a convenient Monday class so had to do a Wednesday. Reset my MFP ticker to home scale weight…..
05/30 384.0 (- 1.8)
05/31 383.0 (-1.0) Yay! Moving in the right direction. Trying to get my head around the intermittent fasting. It is not like I am hungry, it is just hard for me to wait to eat. And because I am up late and work a crazy shift at work I am going to start with the 14:10 method for now and gradually work myself up to 16:8. My work hrs are 10:30 to 7:00 three days a week and 9:30 to 6:00 two days. (I live in CST zone) So I have made my eating window 1:00 to 11:00 (2:00 to midnight on weekends or I may just take off weekends but I doubt it) My next challenge will be getting to bed by or before midnight or 1:00 am. I am having Mexican for dinner tonight but I should be able to stick my weight or go down a bit more before end of the challenge.

I love below reminders from @TerriRichardson112 :flowerforyou:

• 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.

05/26--206.1 I can't believe that I am down over 3 lbs after my trip to visit my parents. While I didn't eat a huge amount I did go out for dinner twice, I didn't do much exercise, was resting my hip, I didn't drink much water, and I was expecting some water retention from the flight. Well, my hip feels better, but not 100%. I'm supposed to see my trainer today, so I'll see how that goes. My hubby cleaned our house and even cleaned my car while I was gone...I should go out of town more often. Goal for today is to go food shopping, get back to my normal eating, and just relax.
05/27--207.4 Not surprised about the bump. Worked out with trainer yesterday which was the first time I worked out in about a month, so definitely some water retention. The workout was great. My hip held up for most of the workout, but I didn't finish the whole workout as my hip started to tighten up a little near the end of the workout. I am going to try and go out for a short run today and see how it goes. Going to see a movie and then relaxing for the rest of the day.
05/28--207.8 I was able to go out for a short run yesterday to test the hip and so far so good. There was a lot more walking then usual and some extra stretching, but the hip felt good and still feels good today. Going to trainer tonight. I had a co-worker this morning whisper to me what I've been doing lately because it looks like I've lost a lot of weight. What's funny is that I haven't lost much weight recently, but as someone whose 5'10" it takes a lot more of a weight loss for the weight to show. Add in the fact that I've started to get back serious to lifting weights over the past 3 months, it's now that the results of all the hard work are showing up. That is something that is hard to come to terms with when we are losing weight. Even though it would be nice to have the scale show a loss every day, every other day, or even every week it's not always the case and that's ok...it's a marathon, not a sprint.
05/29--208.1 Not concerned about the recent weight gain. I know that I am bloated right now, probably my digestive system still dealing with eating foods that I am allergic to from a couple of days ago. Worked out with my trainer yesterday an hip is still bothering me. He suggested I go see a PT, so I've booked an appointment for next week. After the trainer I was feeling frustrated because of the hip and the fact that I probably won't be able to run my 10K next Saturday even after all of the training I had done over the last couple of months, but then I had to remind myself that it is more important to make sure that I don't injure myself even more and make things worse. I also have a 7 miler scheduled in July that I running with my SIL that we had planned for months ago, so it's more important for me to get better now and be healthy to run that race.
05/30--208.1 Worked out with trainer tonight, we mainly focussed on working on the upper body. It was so busy at work today that I didn't get a lot of water in today.

Ending weight round 77 - 202.4

5/23 203 - I'm not too surprised to see this, I had Wingstop for dinner yesterday. I didn't have much, but I had a couple pieces of the boneless wings and I know that did it. Had a light and healthy breakfast this morning and will be having a poke salad for lunch today.

5/24 ??? - Spent the night at my boyfriends so no weigh in this morning. I had steak fajitas for dinner with my boyfriend's sister last night. Only had a few chips and one thin flour tortilla. Having those leftovers today for lunch along with a low carb breakfast and an iced coffee. Will weigh in when I get home or tomor morning. It's my brother's birthday today and we might be going out to dinner to celebrate. Hoping to stay strong this weekend!

5/25 202.6 - Really surprised I went down a little. Even though I had a light early lunch at work I ended up having Wendy's for lunch when I got home. We later went out to dinner at Dave and Busters for my brother's birthday. I had bites of things, but didn't have much. Woke up this morning feeling really nauseated, hope it all passes.

5/26 203 - Snacked on chips and had cheesecake, I know this weekend is off to a bad start. We also BBQ's ribs which is not too bad, but that bbq sauce got me.

5/27 203.6 -

5/28 204 - Like a lot of people I fell off the rails this Holiday weekend. I did eat mostly healthy for breakfast and lunch, but dinner messed me up along with having desserts to celebrate my brother's birthday. And the major contributor was me having chips, I know that really messed me up. I've also been really down this weekend. Found out one of my best friends is moving an hour away and she didn't even bother to tell me. So I've been in a weird funk because a lot of my close friends are drifting further apart from me and I feel pretty alone. I really am thankful for this challenge and group. Everyone is really friendly and this is the support I need in my life right now.

5/29 203.5- Yay! Happy I'm starting to go back down! My lunch yesterday was an Atkins pizza and a side salad and for dinner I took my parents out to the movies. I shared some popcorn and had a couple bites of fries and a couple chicken strips. I'm stepping out for lunch today and thinking of getting a Panera bread salad or a Chipotle salad bowl. Trying not to let my sadness from this weekend get to me and my boyfriend is planning a day for us to get away this weekend to the beach or Palm Springs, so I'm really excited about that. Going to make a healthy dinner and try to get in the gym or go for a walk today. Goal is to get my gym bag packed tonight so I can go right after work tomorrow.

5/30 203.9 - I had a feeling I would go up a little bit. I did have a Panera salad for lunch with the roll and for dinner I had a poke salad and only had half. My parents decided to BBQ burgers and I ended up having half of one. I also went for a walk with my dog so glad I got some steps in there. My mistake was having the leftover fries/hashbrown bites from dinner and eating that late at night. Bummed I haven't been on top of it this week, but I won't eat late tonight and will try to get more water in.

5/31 203.3 - Glad I went down a little (yay!) I'm worried after this weekend it's just going to go back up more. I ate mostly healthy all day yesterday and today will sort of be the same. It was booked last minute, but I am going to Palm Springs this weekend with my boyfriend so I won't have a scale with me to weigh in and see how I do and we will prob be going out eating things and enjoying the weekend. Then next weekend I have Vegas with my cousin. I definitely need these getaways, but I feel every weekend there's something and no matter how well I do during the week, something comes up and it all gets messed up. Hope everyone has a great weekend and fingers crossed I stick with my good choices and don't mess up too bad this weekend.

Back again, still working on my last 10 lbs (they are very stubborn)! Last round was not my best and very discouraging. I was able to maintain through multiple events and parties, so I'm taking that as a win. This round I will be leaving for a long weekend with the family for a vacation through Memorial Day. We have lots of activities planned that will require walking and getting outside. It's rare to get the older kids (adults now) and the younger kids all together on the same trip, so I am excited.

05/23 - 147.5 still here. 3rd day in a row and up just over a pound from last week. Way under calories yesterday and drank tons of water. On our way out the door for a 5 day much needed vaca!

05/24 - DNW VACATION
05/25 - DNW VACATION

05/27 - DNW VACATION

05/28 - 154.3 I really debated whether I was going to post this or not, but it is what it is, plus I know most of it has to be water and sodium weight. I had an amazing time in Colorado with all of my kids and my husband, but I know my water intake was horrible the entire trip. I made pretty good food choices most of the time, but carbs were higher than normal just because they are sometimes easier to eat on the go. A 7 hour car ride yesterday to come home didn't help much and I returned with a nice little sunburn from the zoo the day before. Back at work today and drinking my water. Don't think I will make my goal this round, but taking a break from counting calories and weighing myself everyday is what I needed. I was starting to get really frustrated with the whole process and needed a restart. I was very temped just to take this round off and continue my little frenzy, but I chose to come back and post. I need the accountability and I am ready to see what I can accomplish in the next couple of weeks. So the break is over and I am back on the wagon.

05/29 - 151.9 big drop from yesterday. It's crazy how elevation changes affect me so much. The same thing happened when we flew a couple months back. Did well yesterday and on track today. If I can just end the month and this round back at 147.xx then I can take it as a win. We will see I guess!

05/30 - 149.3 got some kind of stomach bug yesterday in the afternoon so hardly ate at all. Still not 100%, but way better than last night. Not a whole lot of calories today so far either, but I am going to try and eat a decent dinner. Still coming back down from my vacation weight and hoping to be back to 147.xx by tomorrow to end the month with a whole 1 pound loss, lol. I guess a pound is a pound, right, if I make it!

05/31 - 149.3 same, I still was not 100% last night at dinner and pretty much could only stomach some toast and crackers. Water was terrible all day, but slept 100% better. Today I'm back to normal, so hopefully we can see a drop to end this round. May I am ending up 1.1 pounds from last month and my trend is up 2.3 pounds, so hopefully I can do a lot better in June. These last couple of weigh-ins for the month killed my average. Oh well still ended the month in the 140's.
