Round 79 - 180.4 (EW)
Round 80;

06/12 -180.4
Aim to get to 178 by the end of this round.

06/13- 180.2
I was shocked when i went to scan in my small bag of Ringolos (after eating) that they were over 400 cal...new lesson, look before I eat from now on.

06/14-
180.4 Need to tip the scale below 180. I’m trending down slowly but just need to be patient, something that’s hard for me. I’ve also cut the snacking down drastically although not all together. Next goal is to cut the sugar sweets- my nemesis and get more active.

06/15-street party.
Lots of eating and drinking.

06/16- Father’s Day.
Lots of eating and recovering from street party.

06/17- 181.4
Put on a lb with all the weekend festivities. Back to it today

06/18-180.8
Did so well during the day but then binged at night while crashed on the couch watching tv. Also, PMS week- have to resist. Need to get myself out after dinner too.

Day/Weight/Comment

06/12 – 142.5 – Nice way to start the round!
06/13 – 141 – I haven’t seen this number for a couple months.
06/14 – 141 – It has been several months since I took my measurements, so I took them yesterday. I’m within a couple pounds of my weight last time I took them so I wasn’t expecting any real losses. I was surprised to see that I’m down a half inch on my waist and thighs, a quarter inch on my hips, and (of course) an inch on my bust. I don’t really do much exercising, other than to get at least 5000 steps a day and following @deepwoodslady lead, I’ve been dancing while doing work around the house. When I was in weight loss mode, the measurements are what kept me going when the scale wasn’t moving, but I am surprised to see how my body continues to re-composition itself while I’m eating at maintenance.
06/15 – 141.5 – It’s the weekend. A little extra salt and not enough water last night. I’ve also eaten over maintenance today with the grandson staying with us, so I’ll have to be extra mindful tomorrow.
06/16 – 142.5 – I was expecting this. Ate a little lighter today but it will still probably take a few days to get rid of the sodium.
06/17 – 142.5 – Still not enough water. I had the day off work today and did so much running around, I was afraid to drink too much water and have to find a bathroom every hour.
06/18 – 141.5 – This is nice to see today.

UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's.

Goal for round 80 - stay in the 130's. This round will be very challenging as my birthday falls in this one. Have two birthday outings planned this weekend, plus Father's Day and my actual birthday next Wednesday. Back in March I set a goal for 138 by my birthday. But that's pretty aggressive based on where I am today, so my goal will be to stay in the 130's this challenge. (I'm quite proud of my 10.5 lb loss in under 3 months so I'm not disappointed if I don't hit 138 by next Wednesday )

6/12 - 139.3. Nice to start with a drop. Wins yesterday: HIIT/tabata class, lots of water, 4.5 mile walk. The anxiety eating hit midday thanks to homework/final exam prep with my daughter, she's stressed so mom is stressed. Got that under control after a bit and a long walk while she had practice helped with a mind reset, and had a very light dinner to offset. Really need to focus on stress/anxiety management so I don't keep turning to food.

6/13 - 140.7. Up 1.4 lbs in a day?? I'm sad and stressed. Wins yesterday: bodycombat class, hydrated well, stayed in a deficit. Didn't get to walk because of rain. I wasn't the best with food but not as bad as I've been in recent days. Maybe it caught up to me? Maybe too much sodium? Maybe stress showing up? I don't know but I feel defeated after a couple of good days. I know it's normal to bounce around but it still stinks. Will work on drinking tons of water today in hopes that helps the sodium (if that's part of the issue).

6/14 139.3. And 1.4 gone in a day? So weird. But I’ll take it. Wins yesterday: RPM class and 3 mile walk. Hydrated well. Stayed within a deficit. Going out for a late dinner and drinks tonight so will do my best today to prep for that and hopefully not do too much damage on the scale tomorrow.

6/15 -140.9 whoa. Went out for an early birthday celebration. Ate dinner at 9pm and it was salty (Mexican food), and had a few cocktails. I don’t indulge like that often and now I see why! Yikes.

6/16 - 139.6. Coming back down. Wins yesterday: HIIT class, stayed under calorie goal. Drank a lot of water, trying to offset the dehydration from the day before. Not sure how much I’ll lose this round, we will see. Tired of this bouncing around and need to stop indulging so much!

6/17 - 140.2. Sigh. It seems I have a pattern of a day with 13x, a day with 14x. Wins yesterday: 3.5 mile run with my husband, and he pushes my pace so it was about 15 seconds per mile faster than I've been running lately. 2 mile walk. Food wasn't awful but not wonderful, spent the day at the pool with friends so it was a day of mostly snacking and not a full meal. Outside all day so didn't hydrate enough.

6/18 - 140.7. Sigh, again. I'm almost wondering if I need to take a "maintenance break" since I'm not really sticking to any plan this week. I've had a couple of birthday celebrations, plus I'm battling insomnia (it's a lovely perk of PMS for me) and some external stress. Maybe I give myself the mental break from tracking for a couple of days and pick this back up at the next challenge? I might think about that today. Wins yesterday: 4 mile run, 2 mile walk. Hydrated well. Food was OK, not my best day but not my worst. I did snack a little too much but I was in a small deficit based on activity.

Day/Weight/Comment

06/12 146.0 I didn’t exercise yesterday (first time in three weeks) and I also didn’t gain so shows that I can (and probably should) take rest days since I feel more energized now. This week is my TOM and I’m going to start tracking. I used to put it in my notes section of MFP but I can’t find that so easier to track old fashioned style to see how much I do and don’t gain
06/13 145.8 It is nice to see a new number. I managed to do 35 minutes yesterday at the gym, which I usually avoid completely for 2-3 days on my period. Today is really busy so I’m going to try to get the deficit on food alone.
06/14 145.4 yesterday was not an ideal diet day. I didn’t eat much, but drank more than usual. My nba team lost and it was a nail biter and an aperol spritz excessive game! Back to water and actual food today.
06/15 145.4 ate well yesterday and off to a boxing class today with a friend and watching a movie after.
06/16 145.0 great to meet another happy scale milestone! I’m confident I can meet my goal and end this round under 145 since my TOM ends tomorrow. Going to brunch with my parents for father’a day. It’s a buffet so will be easy to make good choices .
06/17 144.7 today may be a bit of a struggle since pretty sore from Saturday’s boxing class in my calves and hamstrings. I have a beginning tennis class during my lunch break that I started last week so hopefully can be ready for that.
06/18144.6 I really enjoyed tennis and am going to stick with it. Today should be a typical Tuesday— meals prepped and will exercise after work.

OSW 382
RSW 325.0

06/12 324.6 I’m hopeful that the downward trend continues.

06/13 324.4 Still going down and it flashed 323.8 for a second, so maybe it’s telling me that tomorrow will bring another new low. I’m hopeful of seeing a 60 pound loss this round or early next.

06/14 325.2 I’m trying not to be very frustrated. I know that this is inflammation/water weight because my back and leg are hurting a lot today.

06/15 326.2 I’m not surprised as I know it’s from sodium and not from over eating. I’m beginning to feel like a broken record though. I’m trying to focus on how much I’ve lost so far and how much more that I’ve been doing. My nsv is that I’m starting to hit a consistent 3000 steps a day and I’m able to take my dog on short walks several times a day.

06/16 325.2 That’s the right direction and hopefully the first of several drops. With all the aches I had when I got up I had prepared myself for a gain. I got in an early walk and I hope that the weather will be good enough for one or two more.

06/17 323.4 I cannot say how happy I was to see a new low. Hopefully I’m done with the bouncing around and I’ll keep seeing losses. My nsv yesterday was 6k steps. That’s double my goal and 12x the steps I was getting back when I started this journey.

06/18 323.2 Any loss is a good loss. My nsv was hitting 7k steps yesterday.

Day/Weight/Comment

06/12 - 159.8
I had a great day yesterday - calories & macros on target, a 5-mile walk, some gardening. Hoping for more of the same today.

06/13 - 159.4
Busy morning - we had 4 beautiful trees planted and some other yard work done, then went out for pho. I had a vegetarian bun tofu plus a spring roll, so not too badly off track.

06/14 - 160.4
Soduim from the Vietnamese lunch yesterday. OK, and a few extra calories later in the day. And not much exercise, as I was home for the tree delivery in the morning and it rained all afternoon. But it's bright and sunny today and I plan to take a nice long walk and do some gardening. Have a lovely weekend, all!

06/15 - 158.8
Busy all day yesterday - no time for silly eating. And I did eat responsibly at meals. Who's a good girl? ;-) I have some painting to do today -- boards for garden & watercolor pup portrait -- so that will keep me from mindless munching, too. If I can re-break that habit, I can continue to behave myself. Enjoy your Saturday!

06/16 - 158.2

06/17 - 158.4
Good weekend, although rainy. I'm hoping the landscaper will finish tilling topsoil into my new flower beds today so I can plant my (mostly) perennials. And, if the rain holds off, I'm aiming for a long walk. Have a lovely!

06/18 - 158.4
Beautiful morning here, bright and warm and shiny. I have to run an errand to a part of town I don't go to often, so I'm planning a walk at the lovely park up there. Plus the landscaper got the soil into my new bed, thought he couldn't till it because it was too wet Maybe he'll be able to this afternoon - fingers crossed! I'm itching to get my hands in the dirt! I hope you have lovely weather wherever you are, too.

Yesterday I ate pretty well, way too many eggs though and I'm switching out the Gatorade for Pedialite from now on (only used when I work out in the sun for a couple hours). Also took my measurements yesterday. Figured I'd track the inches since the scale isn't always kind.

06/13 - 138.8 lbs

06/14 - 138.6 lbs: played 6 hours of pickleball yesterday and was totally exhausted but not really hungry after all that time in the sun. Only slept 4 hours, not for lack of trying, and thought the scale would go up because of it. Might need a nap today.

06/15 - 139.2 lbs: there's the gain I expected from lack of sleep the night before. I really need my 8 hrs of sleep, can barely function without it. Today was a solid 3 hours of pickleball play in the sun and a salad for lunch (plus a rewarding hard cider). Planning a protein smoothie for dinner and a good long sleep tonight. Looking forward to the scale going back down tomorrow.

06/16 - 140.4 lbs: barely ate yesterday and worked out a ton. Not sure why the scale went up except TOM "might" be around the corner. It's not a sure thing anymore but I do have a pimple on my chin - a sure sign...

06/17 - 140.2 lbs: glad to see this is moving in the right direction. Played another 3 hours in the sun yesterday and tried to make good food choices but it was Father's Day and we had a few splurges - eggplant parmesan, yum! That's ok, back on track this morning.

06/18 - 139.2 lbs: ate really well yesterday, hard to do when I don't work out. It is TOM, feeling bloated. Going to run around a bunch today, I'm sure that'll help.

6/12 NS Still on the road until tomorrow night. I walked at lunch yesterday and after work. Ended up with 5.44 miles. I really wish I would have gone the other .06 miles to land at 5.5 but too late now. Found two excellent restaurants yesterday. Stayed under on calories but of course, being on the road over on sodium. Going to the gym tonight for weights. Driving home tomorrow, I don't think I'll stop to walk. I have walked for 7 days in a row. Time for a break. I'm fighting so hard to get into the 160s. I'll do it this round and I hope for the rest of my life.

6/13 NS Driving home today. I was good calorie wise yesterday, went to the gym last night then came back to the hotel and crashed by 10:00 pm. It's a beautiful day so I know I wasn't going to walk but I might stop for a short maybe a thirty-minute walk. It's super sunny but chilly for June, the best walking weather. I think I'll not walk tomorrow. I'll be spending the day working and with the BF with no time for walking. I already packed my walking shoes but the more I think about it and share with you guys I'm going to stop. Today will be a better day to walk than tomorrow.

6/14 169.4 I have tried posting this several times and it hasn't been working. I'm happy with this number after not seeing a scale for 3 days. I'm down .9 pounds since the last time I weighed (I think that weight was high and this one is "right"). Below is a pic from yesterday's short walk. Happy Friday. It let me post but didn't let me add the pic. It said, "You are not allowed to upload files in this category". Weird, I've posted pics before.

6/15 169.5 No biggie. Father's Day Celebration #1 lunch today. It should be easy, it's at a restaurant where I know I have options. After lunch, a graduation party for a friend's son - this could be dangerous. Snacky food can be my nemesis. We'll see. No time to walk today or tomorrow. Father's Day weekend is a long and stressful one for me.

6/16 171.1 Spicy Almonds is all I can really say. Lunch with my Dad is an unknown. Usually, we go to one of the two restaurants in my small home town he likes, neither has good options. No time to walk today, unless I can leave Dad's at a decent time.

6/17 171.1 Stupid water retention. I didn't eat two pounds worth of almonds on Saturday, this is not actual weight. I did not leave my Dad's until after 8:00 then I had an hour drive home. No walking 3 days in a row. I'm getting itchy, I need to hit the dusty trail. Well not so dusty in the rainy spring but you get the idea. I'll be drinking about 2 gallons of water to get rid of the sodium and excess weight.

6/18 171.4 All that water did not help. I walked 3.5 miles last night, was under calorie goal and drank 9 glasses of water. It was great to get on the trail. I stopped to tie my shoe and found a tiny frog. I'm driving to StL today and coming back to KC tomorrow. I should do weights tonight but if the river is down I'll walk instead.

Hi I’m Karen.
USW-187 Sept. 2018
UGW-135
Goal this round-159 And no alcohol or junk food during the week.

6/17-162-I finally joined back in after a lot of out of town trips here and there. My husband is glad I’m home for a while.
6/18-162-Whew! Still holding. Family & food and lunch out....I’ll walk in the morning & drink lots of water.

I’m 51 years old, female, 5’7 and started getting serious on MFP recently. I’m in the midst of a couch to 5K program and really enjoying it.

MFP starting weight: 186 (May 2019)
Round 79: - .6 pounds
Round 80 starting weight: 181.8
Goal weight, eventually: 150
Goal this round: increase endurance while running. I’d love to be in the 170s by the end of this round.

6/12…183. Had an impromptu gathering with friends at the house last night, which upended my careful tracking somewhat, but I weighed in this morning nonetheless. No gym today as I’ve run/walked several days in a row and figure I need a rest day.

6/13…181.0 I finished day 2, week 7 of my couch to 5K program and am feeling good; that’s a total of 20 minutes of running. Today I was able to run/walk the three miles in 40 minutes, which had been a small goal of mine. I’ve got the 170s in sight.

6/14…179.6 Ha! This is after 50 minutes on the treadmill first thing in the morning. I did yesterday’s couch to 5 K workout over again, as it was fairly hard. I broke yesterday’s personal best record by about 40 seconds, so a new personal best of three miles in 40.04. I’ll take a rest day tomorrow, or just walk with no running. I’ve also been close or just slightly over on my calories every day lately and I’ve kept up with my water intake. Whoop!

6/15…Did not weigh. Two words: piz-za. Yes, I know it’s really one word. I ate two words worth. I’m sure I’m chock full of sodium.

6/16…Did not weigh. Woke up feeling an utter lack of energy, possibly because it’s so hot outside. Dragged myself to the gym in the evening, forced myself to do my day 3, week seven run/walk and, lo and behold, I crushed it.

6/17…179.8 This is not too bad after the drinking and eating out hijinks of the weekend. Ran/walked week 8, day 1 of the couch to 5K program. Ran first thing in the morning and did fine.

6/18…180.2 Today’s a non-gym day. Finished yesterday with a big calorie deficit; just wasn’t real hungry but made reasonable choices.

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.

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202

Round 78 - SW - 178.8 EW - 180.4 - Average weight over 10 days - 179.9
Round 79 - didn't participate

June 12 - 178.2 - Starting back on this round after completely missing the last 10 days. Weight is up a bit due to lack of exercise and having too many snacky type events happening. Hopefully will get it down another 3 or 4 pounds by end of June.

June 13 - 177.6 - Better day yesterday than I've had for a while. I need to keep it up.

June 14 - 177.2 - Another good day yesterday. I'm a bit worried about today because I'm going to have company all day.

June 15 - 177 - not a good day yesterday for healthy eating at all. Hopefully today is better.

June 16 - 175.4 - these good days are paying off.

June 17 - No scale

June 18 - 177.6 - Had too much junk food late at night the last couple of days.

Rejoining . I need some serious accountability.
I’ve been having a lot of back pain lately, I have recurrent herniated discs and I hurt my back about three weeks ago lifting a patient and my back just has. It had time to heal. Another reason to be accountable to myself to get the extra weight off.

Round 80 ( 2nd Round For Me) - Goal for this round - hit 141 at least once

42 yo female - 5'8"

End Goal Weight: 133 lbs
==============================
R79 (1): SW 145.8 EW 145.2 ( - .6 pound)
R80 (2): SW 145.5
===============================
Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 145.5 - Been hitting 144 and 143 the last rd (143 2x and that's my new low)
06/13 145.2 - rough rough day - managed to stay under cal goal, but that's about the only positive.
06/14 145.4 - Walked at work for lunch a couple of miles and rode 2 horses when I got home. Did a decent job nutritionally. Need to get back on track with pushups & plants. Been working to stay under 1200 cal day and bumped it up to 1500 - I don't think losing 2 lbs a week is feasible when you're down to about the last 10. I think my metabolism needs a boost to get moving so I'm going to try 1500-1600 cal daily until July.
06/15 146.4 - Walked 8.5 miles, on my feet most of the day. Did decent foodwise.
06/16 146 - Lots of walking all morning, and then I freakin stress ate all afternoon. Queso & chips, cheeseburger, dip, Big order of McDonald's fries, beer - you name it, I ate lots of it.
06/17 148 - YIKES!! Drinking water & green tea - miserably bloated
06/18 145.6 - I still feel bloated, but at least better this morning. Ate fairly healthy yesterday, got in about 3 miles walking. I'm cautiously optimistic that tomorrow's weigh in should be less.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/11 …..195.9 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

06/12 …..195.9 ….. 3 Travel days out of 10 this round. My food weakness is in traveling. UGG. I’m hoping to NOT go hog wild on these days and keep my nose in the trough a little too much! Yesterday was a good day again. Yesterday’s stats: 1369 Calories In / 2334 Calories Out. 29 Net Carbs. 10,030 Total Steps & 4.24 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 34 minutes. No change in the unexpected weight gain. Patience is truly a virtue. Welcome to all the newbies & good luck everyone on this round. Thanks to @GrandmaJackie for providing this lovely spot where lives are changing everyday!

06/13 …..195.7 ….. Travel starts today.

06/14 …..xxxxx ….. Travel no weigh. Reading posts. Will be home this evening.

06/15 …..198.6 ….. Mexican & Chinese in the two days of travel. Now.... to undo the damage. Okay, so today I have reacquainted myself this morning with the process of fat adaption. I have read a few articles to refresh my (often brain-fogged) memory and I am ready to go! Here are the articles I’ve read this morning. Page 1: https://perfectketo.com/fat-adapted/ and Page 2 which is a link within page 1 https://perfectketo.com/what-is-the-ketogenic-diet/. There is certainly a lot more out there but all I have time for this morning. Youtube will be my best friend later tonight and I think I will rewatch the long video of butter bob “Butter makes your pants fall off” which I remember as being the greatest motivator for me when I first started my journey to better T2D numbers, weight loss & overall health. Thanks @quiltingjaine for the firm but caring push in the right direction. Yesterdays stats on my fitbit showed 13,785 Steps (mostly shopping with fitbit on my shoe). 5.83 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit step hours achieved while stopping during travel . I slept 6 hours & 17 minutes last night which is a lot for me. Probably carb overload & crash. My calorie & carb count for yesterday was way way too high I’m sure. I wish I would have skipped the rice, that would have helped. Today is a new day. I am beginning my fat adaption process & am looking forward to it like you wouldn’t believe. I have missed my prepped meals from home the last two days. More movement & more water is also on the horizon.


06/16 …..198.1 ….. Better. Not enough water but I did drink some parsley tea to offset the bloat. Spring cleaning Unit #3 today which will keep me in lots of walking & on my feet. I also have a couple of cabins to clean after check-outs. Probably no planned dancing or exercise today, but lots of physical activity & work. Yesterdays stats: 1358 Calories In / 2317 Calories Out. 19 Net Carbs. 10,437 Total Steps & 4.42 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 4 hours & 22 minutes & woke up refreshed. Today will be day #2 on my fat adaption plan. Additional travel this week unexpected for emergency furniture shopping. I plan on eating breakfast food when dining out. I am going to stay strong! Fat adaption can take anywhere from days to weeks. Since I was adapted before, I think my body will remember & get there sooner than later. Have a great Sunday everyone!

06/17 …..198.4 ….. Travel today & tomorrow. I blew it last night on a binge knowing the travel was coming & my plans would unravel. I am going to try hard today to be reasonable in my choices but I need to get the next two travel days behind me in order to be successful in my fat adaption plan. It is easier to do it when I’m not on the road. Who starts a diet on Thanksgiving morning, right? Yesterday’s stats: 2282 Calories In / 2825 Calories Out. 119 Net Carbs in goodies/sweets & my Keto Egg Roll in a bowl dinner. 15,514 Total Steps & 6.56 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 5 hours & 34 minutes. Lots of movement with the spring cleaning work but not enough water. I know I badly need the fat adaption when I crave the sweets like I am. When adapted, my cravings and my hunger are so much more under control, and even goes away . It is so prevalent that I will absolutely know when I am adapted. I will be mindful the next two days as much as I can, but I look forward to being at home for a stretch and climbing back on my wagon.

06/18 …..xxxxx ….. Travel. Yesterdays fitbit stats: 2631 Calories burned. 10,388 Total Steps & 4.4 Total Miles. 8/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 13 minutes. Very nice for me! I will be home sometime this evening. Have a great Tuesday everyone.
