6/17 122.5 One meal yesterday. Steak, asparagus, roasted potato salad with bacon, mushrooms sautéed in wine and garlic. I only ate 2 small potato chunks and about 1 teaspoon of German chocolate cake crumbs. I’m amazed that that stuff no longer tastes good to me.
6/18 122.5 Water fitness in the morning and met Amy at the gym and walked for 1 hour. My leg feels good this morning. Dinner tonight with the neighbors. Burgers, mock potato salad, corn on the cob for the non-ketoers, and Keto dessert for all.
6/19 123.5 Oops, neighbor bought hamburger but forgot to grab that bag when she left the store! So hot dogs instead. Fresh veggies instead of mock potato salad. Glad I took a large tossed salad. I have plenty left for lunch today at Art Quilts then Community bingo tonight!8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 Starting weight 167.2 lbs - walked to work and back home for a total of about 75 minutes - my food intake wasn't great - lacto vegetarian till June 17th so my choices at an Italian restaurant weren't great. Downhill from there.
06/13 - And here's the result. Today's weight: 167.8 lbs - raining today so my cardio won't be great. Will do some weights at home instead. Pray God I stay on track food-wise today!
06/14 - 166.6 lbs
06/15 - 166.3 lbs
06/16 - 168.8 lbs - I don't know what the hell happened. So confused. Maybe sodium intake? Worked in the back yard gardening for a number of hours so I wasn't sedentary.
06/17 - 168.7 lbs - maybe i'm not done peeing out the salt or whatever. I didn't eat poorly and walked a fair bit.
06/18 - 166.8 lbs - okay closer to last week. It's time to not get thrown off my the wonky numbers in the middle of this stretch and keep the faith. Keep eating well. Keep moving. Keep your eyes on the prize. Let's go!

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 - 203 - Woohoo for going down 2lbs!! Not sure what caused it and it could be water weight. I had my leftover Hawaiian chicken bowl for lunch yesterday, mainly chicken and veggies, and one egg roll. For dinner I had Wingstop, but only like 4-5 dry wings (not including a couple boneless ) Slowly trying to drink more water again. Having a salad for lunch today and have a couple healthy snacks so I don't feel too hungry. Hope to continue keeping my number down!
06/13 - 202.8 - Made a typo yesterday, was supposed to be 203 not 202. Happy my number is still slowly going down though! Had a salad for lunch yesterday, but ended up having a burger and chili fries for dinner. I always do really good for lunch and get wild with dinner. Also been in a funk for the past few days. My friend who moved without telling me has been cold towards me and really bitter about the fact that I was out of town these past couple weekends. I've been in pain both weekends, going to be blowing all my money on my teeth and a speeding ticket I got a couple months ago, things are far from vacation mode for me and being given the cold shoulder like this is just adding to my anxiety, stress and making me feel really depressed and alone. I'm glad I can at least vent to strangers on the internet Hope everyone is having an awesome day and kicking this challenges *kitten*!
06/14 - 202.6 - Mango Cilantro salad for lunch and snacked in the morning on crackers and pork jerky. Had a sushi bowl for dinner instead of a teriyaki bowl and got half rice and half veggies instead of full rice. Should have done full veggies, but was craving the rice. Family flew in from Canada last night and they were up late. We made them sandwiches and I had a little bread with cucumber and meat, but that's it. This morning I had a Starbucks bagel (way too many carbs) but needed to have something to keep me full and I didn't have time to pack a snack. Won't be weighing in tomorrow or Sunday morning because I will be at my boyfriends with his lieing scale, so hope this weekend will be good to me
06/15 - X - No weigh in, wasn't home.
06/16 - 202.5 - Weighed in when I got home in the mid-morning. Was surprised I went down a tiny bit after Disneyland. I walked a decent amount, but also snacked on a lot of stuff. I still portioned dinner and stuck with either water or diet coke.
06/17 - 203.1 - I was prepared for it to go up after Father's Day. I had half of a mini apple with peanut butter and half of my iced coffee and just water. We went to Morongo's buffet for Father's Day and the line was insane. I munch on some things, nothing too heavy and we did some walking. I got hungry at night and just stood ate some sandwich meat in the kitchen. I'm feeling pretty good about my weigh-in for tomorrow though
06/18 - 202.8 - Happy to be going back down a little. I was in a LOT of pain yesterday, not sure if it's IBS or a cyst in my ovaries (I've had this pain before a few times) but I was at work and couldn't even move. Trying to be cautious with my food. I had an Asian salad yesterday, think the cabbage made me sick, and had Armenian food for dinner. Having a different salad for lunch today with some crackers. I could thankfully move more today and feel better. This pain usually goes away in an hour, but this one lasted from 3pm yesterday until now.
My goal weight for this round is 201, still think it's manageable and hope to get there in the next couple days.
06/19 - 202.8 - I'm convinced my scale is broken. It keeps being sassy and told me 3 different weights, but I'm just going to stick with yesterday's weight since that was one of the numbers it said. Had salad for lunch yesterday and Wingstop for dinner, but didn't have much really. 3 wings (dry seasoned and a couple boneless wings, also dry seasoned. I think my mess up were those mini chip bags I got to snack on at work when I'm hungry, but I ended up having 4 of them I did force myself to have 2 water bottles yesterday (yay!) Trying to portion things out today and push myself to 3 water bottles.

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.
6/19…180.2 The gym’s closed because of roof repairs so I headed to the high school track. Whoa. The humidity killed me and I just did 21 minutes of run/walk. A little dispiriting after all my feel-good success of late, though I knew running outside would be different. (I do run on the treadmill with a one percent incline.) I may go out again in the evening and make up for the “lost” time.

Day-Weight-Comment
06/12--207.2 Had a great day yesterday... felt in control with my eating. PT today.
06/13--207.4 Went to PT yesterday and he gave me the ok to do my normal weightlifting!!! I haven't talked to him about running, but when I go see him tomorrow I will ask.
06/14--206.3 The loss today is a reflection of me getting my head back in the game. Last round I wasn't as focused and the scale showed a temporary increase, but now that I'm more in control of my eating and I'm back to exercising more the water weight is almost gone and I'm heading back in the right direction. PT today and working out.
06/15--206.1 PT gave me the go ahead to do all my normal weightlifting and to start running...I am so excited!!! I am supposed to start slow, running 1 mile at a time for the first week, but I am glad to be able to run again after almost 1 month of no running. Right after PT I went to the gym and did my weightlifting and it felt great. I may go out for a run today, but I will see how my hip feels after yesterday's workout. Going to work on getting my water in today.
06/16--206.1 Hip felt sore when I woke up yesterday so I didn't run yesterday and just took it easy. Success yesterday was getting my water in and limiting my snacking. Went out for a long walk with the dog this morning and then going to the hairdresser later this morning.
06/17--205.6 I had a late lunch and I wasn't hungry when my husband made dinner. So instead of just eating dinner because it was there I didn't eat it. Instead I had a couple of snacks throughout the evening, including a whole pint of strawberries, and only snacked when I was hungry. I didn't get enough water in yesterday, so working on water today.
06/18--205.9 Went out and ran 1 mile yesterday!!! My first run in over 1 month since my hip injury and so far the hip is feeling good. Trainer tonight,
06/19--206.7 Had my first full-body workout with my trainer in over month and I am so sore today. Started doing box jumps...who knew jumping could be so technical. Hip feels good today, but not sure if I will go out for a run or not later today.

Round start weight - 139.6 lbs
Round goal weight - 137 lbs (-2.6 lbs)
UGW: 130 (?)
Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 - 139.6 lbs: no scale movement from yesterday. That's ok, the scale moved a lot last week and I knew it wouldn't last. 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.
06/19 - 138.4 lbs: played a couple hours of p-ball yesterday and kept on track with healthy eating. Glad the scale came back down. Still 1.4 lbs to go to meet the round goal, probably not going to make it but that's ok. Really eye opening to weigh and check in every day and see the ups and downs.

06/17: 143.0 First weigh in after 6 days of vacation. Really pleased to see weight drop from the end of round 79, even though we were eating out everyday for all meals and exercise limited to walking on beach and in town! Felt comfortable wearing a bathing suit for the first time in a couple of years. Tried to make healthy meal choices (lots of salads and fresh seafood), but did enjoy the fresh linguine with shrimp scampi with a bread stick as a cheat day the other night! Also I had entered in a MFP 5-week prediction for Monday, which predicted 146, and I am 3 pounds below that goal! (not sure how they make the prediction, but more conservative than Pacer's predictions, so will enjoy the mini-success!). Back to the gym this morning to expend the saved up energy form last week - step aerobics and weight machines for legs; stayed on for the spin class so lots of cardio today!
06/18: 142.5 Wonderful to see a half pound drop! Since tracking I often find that I actually gain after doing a heavy leg workout, plus we had a duck bolognese sauce with penne and smoked mozzarella for dinner with wine so was afraid that I might have more water retention today. (Calories were all within limits, but actually lower on protein for the day). I had decreased the weights on the leg press since I had been out for a week and also wanted to try to tweak the settings to see if changing the angles would help lead to a better position as I do want to avoid putting to much stress on my knees. Felt fine this morning, so think the lower weight likely helped with avoiding the water retention gain! Today was upper body weights, a latin dance class that is just not working for getting my heart rate up, so may need to explore another option, and then yoga which helped with stretching after the weights. Still need to get some ab work in as I have skipped that the last several days... Salmon poke bowl for lunch (guesstimating calories) and probably will cook out veggie burgers on the Green Egg (Beyond Meat) for dinner with a salad. Slowly coming to grips with fact that I can have pasta and bread and successfully lose weight - loving it!
06/19: 142.9 slight bump up. total calories right at limit, but went over on fat and under on carbs/protein (about split). Was craving salt and finished the last bit of tortilla trips from our trip, but at least they are no longer around to tempt me so will be good the rest of the week! Expect the bump will even out, but not sure I'll make the 10 day goal of losing 2 pounds. Today was a cardio class, weight machines for legs, and then spin class so felt like I had a pretty good work out! My pet peeve at the gym - a man spent the entire time chatting to a friend, while I worked through 4 sets of 12 reps on 4 machines with rests between sets - finally I asked him if I could use the machine to finish my workout as there was only one machine of that type. His reply was "well if no one asks ..." - like it is OK to just park there and gab away! (sorry just had to rant!)

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.
6/19 - today is my birthday, so my gift to myself is a mental break. Did not weigh this morning, and am not tracking today. I'm still committed, just need a little break. I've mentioned in other challenges that in the past I've gotten caught in the restrict/binge cycle when I track and try to keep under a calorie goal, and I'm starting to feel those urges a bit. Not sure if I'll jump back in tomorrow or wait until 6/22 when the next challenge starts, but I'm still checking in. Happy Wednesday all!

OSW: 178 in July of 2018
Rnd 79 EW: 148.7
Goals for next 10 days:
1) to get between 7,500 and 10,000 steps everyday (extremely hard to do sitting at a desk for 8-9 hours a day)
2) do not want to see anything higher than 148.9 on the scale in this round
3) finally see a new low of 145.xxx (lowest weight so far was 3 weeks ago and it was 146.5)
06/12 - 147.7 down another pound from yesterday, but still a little high. TOM is still killing me and I am still bloated. Better than yesterday, but I still feel terrible. My motivation is just not where it needs to be to start this round, but I am trying to push through it and keep going. Hopefully by tomorrow I should be back to normal weight and done with the bloating, cramping, aching feeling. If I can just resist for another day or 2 not to eat fried stuff I will be doing good. That's all I have been craving the last 3 days is anything fried, lol. On track today so far with water/food and I have already done just over 3,000 steps. So hopefully I can get some more in this afternoon.
06/13 - 146.7 still working my way back down. Hopefully tomorrow I will see a new low and drop all the weight I have been holding onto for the last couple of weeks. I have looked back in my notes and noticed that I have 2 really good months of losing after my TOM hits and then I stall or lose very slowly anywhere from 4-8 weeks until it comes again. Because of the birth control that I am on I only have a period once every 3-4 months. It gets frustrating during that last part, but I am not willing to change my birth control or get off of it, so I will just have to live with it. When I had more to lose it wasn't so obvious or drastic. I already have 5 children ages 20 years old to 10 years old. So I will stay on my birth control and deal with the consequences. May take me a year to lose the last 10 pounds before I see 138, but I won't have a baby to deal with, lol!
06/14 - 146.1 Went out to dinner last night and took half of my plate home and did not touch the sopapillas. I never do that normally, so win, win! I did have 2 margaritas, but had a ton of water in between and after. It was a nice impromptu date night with the hubby! Hoping to see a 145.xxx on that scale tomorrow morning. My next milestone on my happy scale is 146.0, so close but not quite there yet, and my personal mini-goal is 145.5. Maybe I can hit both tomorrow! Happy with today though!
06/15 - 146.7 had a slight bump up, but had a piece of pizza and ate the top of another piece. Then I filled up on salad, so not a terrible night, but I could have been better. Going to a comedy show with the hubby tonight, so going to try and keep it to a minimum with my alcohol intake and keep my calories down during the day to save up for dinner tonight.
06/16 - 147.7 up a bit, but I’m ok with that. Had a couple of drinks and dinner out last night before the comedy show. We had a blast and it was a great start to my hubbys fathers day weekend!
06/17 - 148.6 Didn't do great this weekend, but was not terrible either. We ate sandwiches Saturday and Sunday and pizza Friday night, so my carbs were definitely higher than normal. Had a nice bbq yesterday though and just relaxed and watched movies most of the afternoon. Back at work today and ready to start another week. 4 days left and hoping to finally hit 145.xxx this week!
06/18 - 147.3 there goes the carbs from the weekend and our bbq on Sunday. I love steak, but it seems to stick with me for a day or so. Finally reached my step goal and actually passed it yesterday. I completed 12,000 steps and my water/food were good. Should be back to 146.xx tomorrow and 3 days left to see that 145! I am trying to make sure I walk 1000 steps every hour no matter what. Today I have 3 meetings, so it may get a little tricky. I am walking into a meeting now and am about 300 steps ahead, we will see what happens the rest of the day.
06/19 - 146.1 back down to last Friday's weigh-in. Did 11,500 steps yesterday and on track for today so far. Trend weight is down and this should be my lowest 10 day average so far. Just need to sty focused 2 more days and meet my goal this round. 2/10 of a pound away from my goal this round!

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.
