THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

OSW 199 (June 15 2018)
Female, 5' 4 1/2 " age 53
Hi. My name is Trina. I've been back on MFP for a year now, am down 64 pounds and just 5 pounds from my revised goal weight! A year ago, this seemed like a pipe dream. I've been doing this challenge since Round 54 and it has been a blessing in helping to keep me focused and positive through the daily ups and downs of this journey to better health! Thanks to all for the wonderful support!

Day/Weight/Comment
06/22: 136 -- Yesterday was a high carb day. Friends spent the night, so we had egg casserole and coffee cake for breakfast. Took a long walk before dinner ... and then indulged in tator tots and corn bread side with flank steak. Was super hungry at dinner, but stayed just below calories and since I wasn't hungry later when we made dessert, I skipped that!
06/23: 135 -- Another high carb day. My middle son got back Friday night and is flying out again today, so had egg casserole & coffee cake for breakfast. And then we had this awesome cranberry/walnut bread for dinner and I indulged in 2 pieces, plus fresh corn on the cob and watermelon from the farmer's market. Skipped dessert and did a long session on the elliptical, so squeaked in under calories. NSV -- I've been working on pushups since March -- starting with wall pushups and moving to lower surfaces. On Friday I did two unmodified full pushups!! Over the next 8 weeks I'll continue with pushup sets 3 times a week to see how many I can build up to!
06/24: 134.5 -- Interesting, as Friday and Saturday were both high carb days with low deficits. Took a long hilly walk yesterday and ended lower carb and larger deficit. I'm curious as to what happens tomorrow!
06/25: 133.5 -- Very nice! Zumba and strength class yesterday. Did my best to burn as many calories as possible in zumba....only got it up to 400. Don't know if I am getting wimpier, or just in better shape! Ran 5 miles today and ate a light lunch. Going out to dinner with my husband and a group at work tonight, should have enough of a buffer to make wise choices and not worry too much! Might be up tomorrow, but it was nice to see this NEW low!

@kmfeig87 I noticed that I had a couple of pound bounce after a high carb day, even if I stayed on track with calories. This happens for some people and it’s also possible that I don’t track them properly somehow or if that they came with high sodium/sugar too. I just know that when I followed all my trackers back, food, weight, macro, it was the same time after time high carb almost always meant a bounce up for me and that I lost less during times that I was eating higher carb meals. This round I’ve been staying low/moderate (not keto low) on carbs and I’ll see what happens. I’m in peri menopause though and who knows what all that’s affecting, but carb numbers are something that I can control and track.
If I had any advice on it all it would be to watch your trackers, see what foods/macros/ etc affect your weight and decide if/how you want to change them. For example, my husband does insanely well eating at a higher carb level and doesn’t tolerate moderate/high fat meals.8 -

Joining in for at least part of round 81!
Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW 177.1 lbs
LTG: 110.0 lbs
STG: 139.8 lbs (just like the idea of being below 140, but not as close as 139.9 but will take that too just to get below 140 :-)
Goal for 10 day Challenge - lose 2 pounds (138.9)
Day/Weight/Comment
06/22: 140.9 Up 0.3 pounds from yesterday; but not unexpected as weight dropped 2.2 pounds from the day before (serious whoosh, so usually see a bump up until it settles over a couple of days). Had 1 hour step class this morning and really pushed it - burned 388 calories in the hour (ok that is a lot for me!) and had heart rate in peak zone for 54% of the class! Some weights and other functional training then back home. Lazy afternoon with some weeding in the garden until the ants and mosquitoes drove me in! Big dinner - grilled swordfish with olive tapenade/tomato sauce, saffron rice & black beans and fresh greens from farmers market, although within calorie budget. Still feel like I am retaining water (extra exercise?) so curious what weight will be tomorrow. I do need to figure a better way to distribute calories more through out the day, but dinner is my favorite meal of the day and so far do not have time to cook dinner foods for breakfast or have gotten leftover portions quite right.
06/23: 140.3 Yeah!!! dropped down below round 80 ending weight! Today is my official "rest day", but may still try to get in 30-45 minutes of walking or light elliptical for some cardio and probably some stretching or yoga as legs feel tight after yesterdays workout. Slept in today so probably going to have just two main meals (brunch/dinner) and snacks. Dinner tonight is grilled bigeye tuna with fresh mango salsa!
06/24: 139.7 Wow rest days rock!!! Made my short term goal to get below 140 !!! Not sure if I will make round goal of losing 2 pounds as will not be able to weigh in after Thursday but at least a great start! Did step class this morning, but could not stay for spin or weights, so went back in for spin class in evening. No weights today due to crazy schedule so will start tomorrow. Cavatappi with duck bolognese and smoked mozzarella for dinner - satisfied my love for pasta, but still within calorie limit! Hope the higher carbs do not create a bump! Apple Watch is suggesting that my resting metabolic rate is dropping (as expected due to weight loss) so either need to 1) up exercise; 2) decrease calories consumed; or 3) adjust to idea of slower weight loss going forward (so far I have been doing more of (1). Currently calories consumed are close to what I would eat at goal weight for maintenance with modest activity, so really think best options are 1 or 3. (next week it is going to have to be 3 :-) due to travel!
06/25: 140.2 Well not completely unexpected as typically see a big drop and then a bump up. Overall downward trend shows that I am still on track. I don;t expect a drop tomorrow as today was heavy leg weights (usually see a bump up after that) Exercise was good today (latin dance, weights (legs) and yoga, so expect this will even out in a day or two! Tomorrow is BodPod day. Gymaholic thinks my body fat is around 36% based on neck, waist and hip measurements (with height) so interested in what results will be! (hoping that with the weight training it is lower!!!)

Day/Weight/Comment
06/22--207.2 Went out for my 1 mile run and the hip still feels great. I'm going to get back to running 3x a week next week. Ran some errands today and now relaxing for the rest of the day.
06/23--206.5 Hardly drank any water yesterday, so late at night I had 2 big glasses of water. I was worried I would be up all night having to go to the bathroom, but I didn't have that problem. Trainer today to make up for a missed session 2 weeks ago and then going out for a long walk with my dog and with my new coworker's wife. My coworker has told me for months that me and his wife would get along and should meet, so walk is our meeting. It's hard to make friends as an adult, but it's also weird because it feels like a first date.
We'll see how this goes. If nothing else the walk will help me get my steps in.
06/24--205.6 I saw this weight last round but it didn't stick around, we'll see how it goes this round. I am sore from yesterdays workout, but the long walk afterwards helped reduce the DOMS. Going for a run tonight and going to get my water in.
06/25--205.9 Had a great workout tonight with the trainer.

Ready for my round 18
OSW 88KG
RSW 67.8 kg (-20.2 kg) or {- 44. 75 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
06/22 67.2kg which is a great start especially after the slowness of last round.
06/23 67.6kg. No problem with this gain as I took husband out for a birthday dinner last night. I kept it Keto but didn't really watch the calories and we ate much later than normal.
06/24 67.7kg no worries. Short but nice run in the cold.
06/25 67.8 kg... I think the weekend calories should be done by now! Time to restart the downward trend. Days like these I'm glad I only record my weight on a Sunday.
06/26 67.9kg...ran in the cold. Can't wait for some light mornings after mid winter.

06/23 245.8 lbs mostly water, but drinking a lot of fluids to flush the body. Calories still at the 2100 top end. Goal is to get in 10000 steps per day again.
06/24 244.8 lbs Drinking plenty of water so I am not dehydrating. Did a morning walk for 1.5 mile in the morning. Took a nice hike with my son on a local “hill” after work. Nice vertical and plateau.
06/25 243 was able to get a 60 minute walk in on the treadmill. Went 3 miles with inclines. Whatever will help prep the hike. Doing another tomorrow if all goes well. This was a late night😢

***ROUND 81 (my 11th)***
Day/Weight/Comment
06/22 134.2 Now that I'm down to the last 11 lbs (can't believe I'm finally saying that!), I need to figure out some real maintenance strategies. This is new territory, and I'm afraid of messing it up. From what I've learned from the maintenance forums, the trick is to go slooowly at the end. Hmmm, we'll see. I may reset my MFP goal to 1/2 lb a week when I have only 5 lbs to go, but not yet.
06/23 136.4 Everything was *super* salty yesterday and I didn't get in all my water (woke up this a.m. absolutely parched, which is never a good sign!). I thought it might show up 2 days days later, but here it is already. Because I've been doing this challenge long enough to have some insight into my weigh-ins, I know this isn't fat, and I'm not worried. Plus, after last round's whoosh of almost 6 lbs, I'm okay if the scale adjusts up a bit.
Advice from a maintainer that's good to keep in mind: "A slow, gradual upward creep over weeks is more likely to be fat gain. A big whalloping overnight gain from the middle of my range to/above the top of the range is more likely to be water/digestive contents. If I gain 3 pounds, and I'm pretty sure I didn't eat 10,500 calories above maintenance, I'm going to believe it's water weight/digestive contents, and give it a couple of days* to drop back rather than freaking out about it."
06/24 135.8 Despite my earlier declaration that I wasn't going to start slowing down yet, I got curious yesterday and played with the numbers by adjusting my MFP goal down to only 1/2 lb a week, which gives me almost 200 calories more per day. I've been stuck at only 1200 calories since I started logging in March, so I was excited to see such a "high" number (1390), and I used every calorie for once, plus a few extra. I'm completely sedentary- whatever the level below MFP's "Not Very Active" is, that's me- so none of this 'eat back your exercise calories' stuff for me, and it's a relief to think think I may be able to have a more relaxed calorie range at some point.
06/25 135.8 Well, this may be a maintenance round as I stabilize from the big loss last round. As long as I don't significantly gain, I'm good with this! Plus, I just reset to 1/2 lb a week on MFP, and I'm still trying to see how the bump in calories changes things. The experiment continues!

06/23- 247 got my sweet Hank out for a walk today, happy dog. Light work around the house
06/24- 245 I have been stuck at 248 for foreverrrr. Is this just water loss, is it that I’m sticking to a calorie count? Hummm. I will not write about food here because it makes me hungry when I read it and other people’s post. Eeek. Tomorrow I have to really watch myself because in the evening friends come and there is something I really want to be able to have!
Does anyone use bulletproof coffee? I have ordered the brain octane. A fitness gaI have started following on Facebook says she puts that in her coffee in the morning instead of breakfast. I’m not a big breakfast eater so I would rather have a little something that way then be forced to sit down and eat breakfast. I know, Breakfast is a big deal, sometimes I try to at least have a hard-boiled egg but I really don’t like eating until 11. When I IF it’s perfect, by the time I get done with dinner I’m not supposed to be eating again until around 10.
06/25- 244 Other than walking costco, no exercise. Cant get motivated. doing good holding at calorie count.

06/24 - 10st 3.8 - Day 1... annoyed to be back at this weight but is what it is. Need to up my daily movement, working from home does have some disadvantages... constant access to food and a tendency to sit for long periods!
06/25 - 10st 3 - good start! Need to make sure I drink plenty of water this week. Got a 30 mile bike ride event tomorrow too... yep dreading it. Hopefully it stops raining....
06/26 10st 2.4 - whoosh! Well happy with how this round is going 😊 Got a 30 mile charity bike ride today so expecting a little gain tomorrow but we'll see.

Aim to lose 5lbs this round
This is my 3rd round, my mantra for this round is go hard or go home, lots of gym time and lots of Veg, woooohoooooooo, I’m looking for a real good loss to make up for the last round
06/22 – 215.0 (-0.6)
06/23 – 215.8 (+0.2)
06/24 – 217.8 (+2.2) Had too much sodium over the weekend so hoping this will drop of after drinking plenty of water. Happy Monday everyone lets get rolling
06/25 – 215.8 (+0.2) There we go a nice drop after drinking load of water yesretday and a visit to the gym, same again today
06/26 – 216.2 (+0.6) not quite sure what’s happening here, calories all fine, plenty of water, wondering if it’s a bit of water retention due to the heat, but I’ll just keep plodding on

Lots going on this round again. Weekend in Liverpool for another cheerleading competition so lots of fast food outlets, hotel breakfasts and motorway service stations for our 5+ hour car journey each way
Three evening events for the kids inductions for their new schools and college they start in September, daughters Prom week then another cheerleading display show next weekend..... Ill be going to work in between for a rest
But aiming to carry on this round how I ended the last one..........
R81 Start Weight - 137.8lb Target for the round 136 something ....
06/22 - DNW
06/23 - DNW
06/24 - 139.9lb (+2.1lb) Back from the weekends Liverpool cheer competition so totally expected gain given the usual lack of decent remotely healthy food at comp and late night eating at the motorway service station Did try my best and my overall calories weren't too bad - I know alot of this is just the water retention from the increased fast food salt intake and reduced water. On the plus side the gain hasn't taken me back over 140.
"Gain" will take a few days to come off again as it usually does. Daughters prom on Thursday so will have a glass or two of fizz that night but other than that the rest of the round is clear so still aiming for a 136 finish
06/25 - 138.8lb (-1.1lb) Whoosh! That's half of it gone - now to work on the rest! No gym tonight as at my daughters new college for an induction evening but good food planned for the day and will try and get out for a walk from work at lunchtime.
06/26 - 138.2 (-0.6lb) Bit more gone.... 0.4lb to get back to pre-weekend weigh in then start on the proper downward path to get to round target. Good food day today planned and pre-logged so no excuses
May be a bit tough though as was awake at 2am this morning for no reason and struggled to get back to sleep. In fact my sleep recently has been awful - my husband always used to say I didn't sleep I went into a nightly coma I slept so well, but the last few months this hasn't been the case. Guessing I have so much going on at the moment and have no "down" time - or is this a peri-thing which I think has started as TOM all a bit erratic these days.
Roll on my holiday......

R81 Goal: Round 80 was an insightful 3rd round for me. I learned a lot about my body and what causes fluctuations after noticing a trend of gaining weight following the previous day of intense exercise/lifting heavy weights. With this knowledge, I hope I can be kinder to myself and not launch into a chocolate bingeing frenzy when this is the case.
My overall aim for the whole month of June is to still train consistently - with that should come the weight / inch loss.
Daily Goals:
🍽 1,650 calories a day (1,800 on leg day if needed)
🏋️♀️ Weight training x5 days
👣 10,000 steps daily
🍗 Min. 15g protein with every meal

Look at that, 1/2lb away from my goal on the 1st day of the challenge 😆 Going to try my best to stay here now 💪 trained legs yesterday and still achy from Thursday's double session so today is all about getting the steps in. It's a lovely morning so after breakfast, I'm heading out for a 10km walk with my 2yo in his buggy 👟

🍽 1,521 / 1,650 calories ✅
🏋️♀️ Rest day ✅
👣 14,383 steps ✅
🍗 126g / 124g protein ✅
Great day yesterday, met all my goals in terms of calories, protein and steps. The gain will be because I didn't manage to 💩 yesterday and my water intake could have been better 🤷♀️
Todays plan is much of the same but more water and hopefully more steps 👟
24/06 140.5lbs / 63.7kg (-0.5lbs / 0.3kg)
🍽 1,705 / 1,650 calories ❎
🏋️♀️ Rest day ✅
👣 6,374 steps ❎
🍗 135g / 124g protein ✅
Went slightly over calorie goal met yesterday however I was 831 calories under for the week so not fussed about that. Defo lacked water again because we were out and about. Went to the beach and had the most amazing Nutella filled toffee ice cream waffle cone 🍦 I simply rearranged my planned calories for the rest of the day to fit it in.
Back to the gym today for chest, shoulders and triceps 💪
Also have the Docs at 2pm which I have been really upset and stressed out about 🤞
25/06 139.25lbs / 63.2kg (-1.25lbs / 0.5kg)
🍽 1,647 / 1,650 calories✅
🏋️♀️ Push✅
👣 15,616 steps✅
🍗 130g / 124g protein✅
Good day all round yesterday. My docs appointment was moved to tomorrow so my nerves are in bits. Also think my * week is going to show up as was very bloated and weepy last night
Also wanted to eat everything in sight but I remained focussed and finished under my calorie goal. Today's plan is my walk to and from work and Functional HIIT class at lunchtime.
26/06 139.5lbs / 63.3kg (+0.25lbs / 0.1kg)
🍽 1,627 / 1,650 calories✅
🏋️♀️ Functional HIIT✅
👣 13,285 steps✅
🍗 138g / 124g protein✅
Happy with yesterday as met all my goals so a 1/4lb gain is nothing. My water intake was good however I haven't been to the loo so that's the cause.
On a happier note, I had my doctors appointment and happy to report I'm in good health. I can't stress enough how important it is to check your breasts ladies - I hadn't checked mine in ages and actually didn't tell anyone I was experiencing pain for the past 2 years. It was only when my partner heard me cry out in the shower that I told him and he made me see a doctor. I feel stupid now for brushing it off 😥
Today's gym session is back plus my usual walk to and from work 💪

6/24: 200lbs I really want active yesterday. I stayed away from carbs so that is a plus. But I ate a lot of whoppers candy and 2 pieces of key lime pie. 😭😭Another positive I downed 1 gallons of water.
6/25 198.4 lbs today I will stay away from junk food.
6/26 198.2 lbs the crab legs and old bay didn’t help me yesterday. Junk food reduction didn’t work either.

Ending weight round 80- ???, for mental health reasons stopped weighing at 6/19. Picking this back up on 6/22 hopefully refreshed and ready to work!
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's.
Goal for round 81 - FOCUS! Weight loss was great, then stalled a bit due to some stress and insomnia. Took a little break from the challenge in order to free up some brain space. I believe physical health follows mental health and I must be in the right mind space in order to track food intake.
6/22 - 140.9. Not as much damage as I expected after taking a few days off. Traveling today/tomorrow with extended family so no scale. When I get home tomorrow night I’m going to grocery shop and meal plan for the week and do my best to hit a deficit the last 8 days of the challenge.
6/23 - traveling no scale
6/24 - 142.0. Knew I had to face the music. This weekend consisted of fried salty food, cake, and not as much physical activity. Add in my TOM due tomorrow and that I haven’t “gone” in a couple of days due to travel, and I’m not surprised at all. I’m unhappy with the choices I made, but they are done and it’s time to move on. I’ve committed to movement every day and tracking my food to stay in a deficit each day the rest of this challenge. My husband is on board too after this weekend!
6/25 - 140.9. There goes some of the bloat from the weekend salty foods. Wins yesterday: hydrated very well, 30 min on elliptical, 30 min walk, in a caloric deficit, slept well. Ready for another good day.
6/26 - 140.4. Pleasantly surprised as my TOM hit and it’s brutal (sorry for the TMI). I have cramps, I’m super irritable and I’m hungry all the time. I gave it to the cravings yesterday quite a bit too. Won’t be surprised if it goes up again when that catches up to me but happy for the drop today. Wins yesterday: HIIT class, 2.75 mile walk, good water intake. Today I need to focus on diverting my attention from the binge cravings.

The 4th of July will start off time away, celebrations, and vacations through the rest of the summer. Need my on days to be very on and my off days to be few/reasonable/maintenance.

06/23 - 142
06/24 – 143 – Our weekend was so busy I didn’t get a chance to post although I weighed both days. We visited a local winery Saturday night and I ate a lot of snack foods that I usually avoid. Back on track for the work week.
06/25 – 142 – OK!
06/26 – 141 – I’ll be happy if I can stick around this weight for the rest of the week.
