Day/Weight/Comment
07/11 …..196.7….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/12 …..196.0 ….. A very nice downward turn. Not much activity yesterday perhaps my body needed the rest. I ate back many of my activity calories eating spaghetti squash casserole which was excellent. Yesterday’s stats: 1546 Calories In / 2213 Calories Out. 49 Net Carbs. 7626 Total Steps & 3.23 Total Miles. 9/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I lost the first two hours when I overslept the night before! Last night I slept 4 hours & 33 minutes. I did outdoor gardening for 63 minutes. Today I will try to up my water & activity level. Good luck everyone on this round. Welcome to all the newbies, we are so glad you’ve joined us!

07/13 …..194.8 ….. Whoosh! Going to the bathroom really helps! A good food day yesterday except I ate a few too many sunflower seed kernals during in-home movie night with my son. I must remember not to eat when watching TV if it’s going to be mindless eating! Also, lots of friendly veggies yesterday but they do add up! So calories & carbs were a bit higher than I planned, but I took a short walk & had a short dance session to help get in a little more movement. I also did moderately paced house cleaning yesterday. Yesterday’s stats: 1640 Calories In / 2444 Calories Out. 43 Net Carbs. 10,285 Total Steps & 4.35 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept a lousy 3 hours & 3 minutes & woke up tired today. I walked for 10 minutes at a moderate pace. I cleaned house & laundry for 90 minutes & I danced for 12 minutes. Sample song “”Miss You” by the Rolling Stones.

07/14 …..198.0 ….. I deserve this in body but not in soul. Binge last night after encountering a problem that I’ve not had before on this journey. While in bed watching TV I smelled a frozen pizza my son was heating in the oven. He eats later than me & normally I am satisfied at that hour & not tempted. Last night, however, a dark shadow overcame me & I was up & running for the kitchen. It turned on to a full-on binge undoing everything I’ve accomplished in the past week. So a new problem (will this happen again?) is turning into a new plan. BEDROOM DOOR SHUT in this very small house so the smells will not affect me. I will just have to get up & down as the cat wants out. I think my counts are pretty accurate as the foods I indulged in were mostly pre-packaged garbage. 2750 Calories In / 2410 Calories Out. 208 Net Carbs. 10,376 Total Steps & 4.39 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 4 hours & 4 minutes. I Took a 13 minute walk (I can’t stray too far from my office when the cabins & rooms are filled for the weekend) & did 45 minutes of yardwork & transplanting. I will be working hard today, as is typical after Sunday check-outs. I will try to burn extra calories & be extra mindful of my diet today. My Dr. appointment is Tuesday & this could not have happened at a worse time! As a business owner & manager, a mother of 4 and a grandmother of 5 I would like to think that I’m a disciplined and in-control person. Not last night. Last night I was “only human”. Better today, I promise! You guys deserve for me to be working as hard at is as you are. One day at a time….so today, I’m going through this with you all!

end weight from round 82 -- 145.8
heaviest was June 16 --153.4...that day I came up with a new plan, and here we are..thank you for this forum! I will achieve my goal and I will maintain it once there.
goal this round; 1.5 lbs less
end goal: 125
GOAL: Be AWARE of my food choices...
WHY ---do I choose what I choose
WHEN --do I choose the food I choose
HOW ---do those choices impact your weight and fitness goals? The understanding of these questions should be enlightening to help me make better future decisions and change patterns of behavior

3rd round for me. This is a great way to keep in touch with others with similar goals. I'm 49 yo female Canadian expat living in Central America. Good luck all for to continuing the journey to all our goals. On 6/25 I decided to give up alcohol for a month, partly to help with weight loss, but who am I kidding...lol I need a etoh break anyways. So, I'm doing my exercise, mindful choices with food, and haven't had etoh in 19 days.

12: 241.4 Whew. Not liking that number so much. 😕 Did pretty well with food today. I was surprised that Fitbit gave me about 900 exercise calories. I only used 5 of them, but that was only by chance as I synced and logged my food at the end of the day. Goal for tomorrow - log as I eat.
13: 241.6 Feedback: Lack of sleep actually hinders weight loss. On the plus side, I started my day off with an organic vegan sprouted protein shake with Brain Octane oil and Mighty Maca...and I logged it before the first sip! Great way to start my day!
14: 241.5 Not gonna lie, I'm irritated by this, but I also know that's not gonna help change it. I'm doing the right things, so I know the scale will catch up at some point. Hopefully soon!

7/12 - 132 Yay! Two days in a row! Dashed to the gym today for a step class, only to find out it was cancelled. The teacher had reminded us to check last week....but I forgot. Ran 3 miles on the treadmill instead. Then ate all my exercise calories and more at a delicious out to brunch with friends! Thought my son and I had fixed the washing machine yesterday (we sent a bum circuit board off to be repaired and re-installed it). It ran two loads and is failing again. Arghh!
7/13 - 132.5 A few extra carbs yesterday...frustration with the washing machine!
7/14 - 132.5 Weighed, but didn't post yesterday morning. Happy to see the same weight. Celebrated my son's birthday last night with cake, so higher carbs, but within budget! Zumba in the morning.

Day - Weight - Comment
07/12 - 135.5 (-0.7lbs) - I’m really starting to slack with posting these on time. I think since I’ve shifted my focus to strength training I started to care less about my weight. I’m getting a lot of definition and transforming my body so much that it shows in a short time and I love it... so much so that the scale doesn’t even seem to matter anymore. Maybe this is the ultimate NSV? To not desire a number on the scale anymore! Well, if only life were that amazing, I still fixate on the scale but now it’s the BF% but shouldn’t it have been this whole time? A bit of an aha moment for me. I know my scale BF% is not 100% accurate bit it does seem to correlate fairly closely to other BF measurements I’ve done. More excitingly it has shown a decrease in my BF in the last few weeks even though my weight has gone up overall.

Loads of walking yesterday like 3 hours? Did a hike and other stuff. It was a rest day overall so no intense cardio or strength training.

Ate out since I need to grocery shop but all was fairly healthy. 16,053 steps. 131oz water.
07/13 - 134.5 (-1lb) - two rest days from strength training and weight has fallen back down as I expected. I’m going to hit the gym today so tomorrow will likely go back up. At some point though I expect to get into the 120s 😆 Ate out all day yesterday because I still need to shop but I kept it as healthy as possible. No strength training. 1.5 hours of activity yesterday including hiking, walking, and elliptical. 18,981 steps. 126oz water.
07/14 - 134.3 (-0.2lbs) - slowing working back down. Food was ok, ate out again because still haven’t shopped 🤦🏻‍♀️ but also had vegan tacos 😲... today is a new day 😆 1hr strength. 45min cardio. 14,422 steps. 126oz water.

Night out with Friends
I didn't log today. And won't do until Monday.
I woke up stressing about work. Had nice lunch and dinner plus drinks out.
But I also made a bet with a friend to lose 5kg by her birthday end of Sep, which gives me 10 weeks to go from what I'll expect to be 73kg when I start on Monday to get down to 68kg. That's totally doable and I hope it'll give me the motivation to stick to it.

Day/Weight/Comment

07/12 – 141.5 – Great start for the weekend. Our city is having an Italian Festival right outside my office door. I ate half a Stromboli for lunch yesterday and had a small salad at home for supper to compensate for the extra calories. Our grandson is spending the night tonight and he will want Chinese food, so no Italian for me today. I’m just realizing that after over a year of watching calories, these food decisions are starting to become second nature to me.
07/13 – 142 – Not unexpected due to the sodium in the Chinese food.
07/14 – 143 – Drinks and snacks with some unexpected visitors last night, then I didn’t eat great today either. It’s the weekend! I don’t want to weigh tomorrow, but I will.

Fri 12/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ Still holding steady.
Sat 13/07: 163.5: Goals: ✅ We finally got our we boat back in the water, and the new engine is so quiet, and no nasty fumes either. Result! Now all we need is a few warm sunny days to enjoy it.
Sun 14/07: 164.2: Goals: Meh!!!

Previous Round:

Tue 02/07: 162.4: Goals: ✅Just trying to hold it steady.
Wed 03/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅
Thu 04/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅Had a busy day being foster mum to my daughter's 2 fur babies. Jack is very used to being with us, and is no trouble. Sydney is fairly new, and very nervous, and we haven't really got to know him until this week. DH is the doggie person in our house, but Sydney won't go near him, so I'm it! Worse than having a toddler in the house.
Fri 05/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Lots of walking and gardening today.
Sat 06/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Lots of garden work done today. Perfect weather with a bit of a breeze to take the edge off the heat.
Sun 07/07: 162.6: Goals: ✅ Normal fluctuation.
Mon 08/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Another plateau. 😏
Tue 09/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ Drat! The weekend caught up with me!
Wed 10/07: 163.4: Goals: ✅ *sigh* Keeping on keeping on!
Thu 11/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ I was quite disappointed with this result until I noticed my muscle %age has increased since last week. I have been working hard on lower body strength for a couple of weeks. Also yesterday, DH asked me if I had lost weight again. It just goes to show that Progress isn't always about the scale dropping. Looking forward to the next round, and making more progress! 😂

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Starting 7th round - these daily updates have been so helpful for me to stay on track! Thanks @GrandmaJackie!

Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW: 177.1 lbs
LTG: 110.0 lbs
STG: 133.3 lbs 10 pounds away from MTG of healthy weight category - last seen 6/2011
MTG: 123.3 lbs Leave Overweight category and get into Healthy BMI range - last seen 6/2010

Goal for 10 day Challenge - lose 2.8 pounds (starting weight 136.1 ending weight 133.3 of STG should be doable with exercise and staying on track with food. No travel this round should help!)

Day/Weight/Comment

7/12 135.8 Yeah! into the 135.x range for the start of the round! Good workout in spin class today in terms of estimated calories burned, although heart rate did not really get into the peak zone - end of week fatigue? consequence of doing an interval class last night and step in the morning yesterday and not enough carbs? recovering still from weight training from Wednesday? new routine (did have lots of heavy resistance)? In any case, I have the weekend to take it easier, although hope to fit in the HIIT class in the morning. Cavatappi pasta with homemade duck bolognese sauce and smoked mozzarella for dinner (have to watch portion size!), so should have no problem recharging glycogen! Unfortunately I used up all the salad greens last night so no side salad for dinner; although did have a large salad at lunch. Will get fresh greens at the farmer's market tomorrow!

7/13 136.0 Up by 0.2 pounds, but likely water weight fluctuations; pasta last night (but should be within target) and still have some leg muscle soreness from the tabata class, followed by twister with the kids on Thursday. Did go to the circuit class this morning and stayed on with a small group to do some additional core work, so a great cardio (+ social) workout all over! Rest day for the serious heavy strength training today and tomorrow to recover and start the week fresh. Got fresh shrimp with the heads on at the farmer's market, so planning on making a shrimp stock for shrimp paella on the big green egg! No greens at the farmer's market (too late ) so need to go to the store to get them for a side salad (craving greens right now!) Thinking about making a keto blueberry/blackberry crumble (supposed to be only 100 calories) as a treat tomorrow night so will try to find almond flour. NSV - MFP 5 week prediction was to be at 141 today based on food diary, but was 5 pounds under!!!

7/14 136.0 Weight same as yesterday, although this is a typical pattern by now of good drop, slight increase, stable, then drop again (plus more carbs yesterday and forgot to take BP medicine!) and overall trend is consistent over the last 6 months. Today was rest day for weights, so cardio only -- did spend an hour+ on elliptical so not sure legs are going to be really rested tomorrow (so may not see drop due to DOMS) and may switch out upper body routine for tomorrow and then do leg strength training on Tuesday for more recovery depending on how I feel in the am. Calories should be fine for day based on tracking. NSV - have been able to enjoy "new" (at least not worn in last 7 years) wardrobe of old clothes that now fit!!! Looking forward to dropping more sizes in the months to come!

Joining my first round, down to the last 15ish pounds and need any extra motivation I can find.
Female, 37yo, 5'5"

Highest ever was 182.6 in 2013.
Lost 40lbs, got pregnant-had baby 6/2014. Lost baby weight, but stayed 145-155ish.
Got pregnant-had baby 9/2016. Didn't have a lot of motivation and stayed around 160ish, travel and holidays put on some extra weight before the end of the year.
1/1/19 - 170.4

Day/Weight/Comment
07/12 - 137.2
07/13 - 137.0 - My lowest weight in my adult life, still about 10-15 from ultimate goal. It would probably help if I added some exercise in.
07/14 - 136.2 - Yesterday was a typical Saturday, stayed in my calories but they weren't the best food choices. Same for today, our shopping with mom and sis.

07/11 137..8/31 accomplished

07/12 136.8 9/31 accomplished

07/13 138.6 no clue why the gain, ate fruit, stuck to my meal plan and worked hard. I haven't been sleeping well latley, so I am wondering if it has something to do with that. Unfortunatley though today was not as good of a day. Stress has been really getting to me and when I stress I eat. I need to find a better way to cope....was thinking of signing up for some sort of boxing class or something, to get all my aggrivation out. Needless to say this will result in a gain 😥

07/14 140 This was expected but I am not giving up...every day I try is a step in the right direction...even if there are bumps in the road. I still got this! Today was a good day, a wonderful way to start the week off 10/31

Ready for my round 20
OSW 88KG
RSW 66. 5kg (-21.5 kg) or {- 47. 4lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
07/12 65.8kg probably a false low as a only had a tiny dinner last night but I don't care! Last day of work today for 6 or so weeks so I will be at a party but I'm now good at keeping it keto.

Just realised I've lost over 25% of my original start weight!!

07/13 65.9kg with a tiny blip up which is not a problem. I ate more yesterday but stayed under calories.
07/14 65.2kg on official weigh in day is great! And it's holiday time. I'm leaving on Wednesday for a 5 week break to our lake house. This is when I used to have crazy gains and just eat and drink. We went over Easter break and I managed to lose. I'm happy if I just maintain this visit.
07/15 65.6kg not a big surprise as I didn't have a big calorie deficit this weekend. Back on it today

I forgot how motivating this group can be, caught up on all posts and I want to thank everyone for their daily logging...although I wish everyone the best and am cheering you all on, it's also comforting to know that I am not alone in the struggle.

***ROUND 83 (my 13th)***

Day/Weight/Comment
07/12 134.6 I'm in an odd place with my weight loss journey. I am willing to take things much slower, but I have basically maintained for a while, and I'm sick of it. I don't eat very many calories and absolutely cannot go lower. My arms are still flabby, my stomach still has rolls when I bend over, and I know I have a little ways to go yet, though I feel much more confident than I did when I started, that's for sure! But I'm stuck.

Ultimately, I know I'm more comfortable about 10 pounds lower and I don't know how I'm going to get there! Starting to lurk on the maintenance forum to figure out how the heck you "recomp" when you're this close to the finish line, hence my new goal (I haven't done any exercise yet, and I have a feeling it involves exercise...)
07/13 132.2 Heh. I complained yesterday and today I'm already at this round's goal. HOWEVER, I *know* it'll be up tomorrow. If only I could have hit this new low on a weekday!
07/14 133.6 Sadly, I'm guessing it'll be up further tomorrow. Struggling with sugar cravings, which isn't too typical for me because I always have chocolate worked into my day.
