Day/Weight/Comment:

7/22: 139.6 lbs - It is what it is. 2 weeks in the U.K., eating and drinking and not exercising much. I knew I would pay for it and I'm not going to dwell.

7/23: 139.0 lbs - off to a good start. Hoping it'll all come back off quickly.

7/24: 137.8 lbs - played pickleball yesterday for the first time in a couple weeks, a little sore today. Ate well, feeling good to be back in the swing of things and the scale loss is very nice to see. Starting my new daily goals today, hoping to see some quick returns. Otherwise, today is a rest day. I've got a pickleball tournament this weekend and don't want to overdo it after 2 weeks of nearly no exercise.

7/25: 137.8 lbs - still working through jet lag and pretty darn exhausted at the end of the day. Taught beginner pickleball class last night and played a couple games after, it was good to do a little running around. I met the water drinking goal and stretched but did not get the steps, push ups or crunches in. Baby steps.

7/26: 136.8 lbs - perhaps a false low because I barely ate yesterday. But it's nice to see. Managed to get all the water in, all the steps in and do the stretching and worked out for an hour or more. Didn't get the push ups or crunches in though. Today and tomorrow I'll be in a pickleball tournament (in 92 degree heat!), will definitely get my work out and steps done. Wish me luck!

7/27: 136.8 lbs - happy to see this for 2 days in a row, hoping it sticks. Day two of Pball tournament today, I got silver yesterday . Drank plenty of water, stretched, got the steps in, and did a few crunches and push ups. Almost there.

7/28: 135.6 lbs - Pretty sure this is due to 10 hours in the sun and being dehydrated. Got first place in my division though . We will see if this sticks.

7/29: DNW

7/30: 137.0 lbs - I'm ok with this. This was my round goal weight anyway. Still recovering from many hours of tournament play over the weekend. This morning is the first morning I don't feel dehydrated. Going to take today and tomorrow off though, dealing with persistent tennis elbow.

Original Starting Weight: 386.6, 1/1/2019
Challenge Starting Weight: 318.8
Challenge Goal Weight: 316.8
Long-term Goal Weight: 195.0

R84 - Day/Weight/Comment
07/22: 318.8 - After plateauing around 222-224 for the first half of July, this drop was very welcome.
07/23: 319.4
07/24: 319.1
07/25: 319.7 - Uptick continues despite burning 1700 calories the day before. Frustrating.
07/26: 316.4 - Sudden large drop!
07/27: 314.8 - And it continues.
07/28: 316.3 - Small uptick, due to larger meals while traveling. Not unexpected.
07/29: 315.9
07/30: 316.8 - Uptick here, most likely due to eating later at night than usual.

Hi Everybody! I’m a returnee.

Declared maintenance @153lbs BMI: 22.9 April 25, 2019
(~ 3 months ago)

From Dec’18 thru June ‘19, my Monthly avg weight <155

Serious Restart #2: I’m not giving up.
07/15 158.8 Day 1 Restart #2: I’m not giving up. Avg weekly weight: 157.1

7/22 157.2 Day 8 of Restart & eating at home. Walked 81 mins 7/22. All macros/micros are great.
7/23 155.2
WhooHooo! It will likely jump around, but thrilling to see! Almost back to Scream Weight!!! Then on to 154! 53 min walk
7/24 155❣️ I never thought I’d celebrate hitting my Scream Weight!! But in this direction it is Screaming for Joy not Screaming in Terror!
7/25 155.4 (normal fluctuation. I’m in “the zone”.) Up 2.4 lbs in 3 months, most of it in 3 of the past 4 weeks.) turning this around now!
7/26 155.2 Things are going well!

7:27 154.8❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
600 Day MFP Streak🍀🍀🍀 & I had hoped to
Get back in my 153-155 Maintenance Range! I’m Thrilled & beginning to feel my leaner self. Down 4 lbs in 12 days (it had been a sudden increase; I hoped it would come off rapidly.) Now, on to 153❣️🦋💕

7/28 157.6 wow, one meal.
7/29 157.2
7/30 157.4
Eating carefully but more salt (Dr’s orders for too low bp) ate at home except two meals out- 7/27 & 7/29
I am finally ALL BETTER (it took 6 weeks 🙄)
Step avg over 10K in the past 4 days!!!!!!
Off to gym today! 😁

I’m not giving up. I will get back to my Maintenance Range where I am smaller in my waist & I feel leaner.

All of this has taught me:
I have trouble reducing my daily calories below 1,900 for any period of time, and usually it’s 2,000.
So, my 650-700 Active calories daily burn is a must.
(Still tinkering with that balance as my PT wants me wt lifting & doing intervals on ex bike 15-20 mins which rake a lot of time but don’t burn as many calories - plus the walks lift my spirits & get me out in nature.) I guess it’s all about balance.

Discouraged with scale, but Delighted with my regained strength, better tone, & energy!. Health first.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/21 …..195.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/22 …..198.2 ….. After DGS’ birthday party weigh-in. However, it’s the late night binge that bit me in the butt. 2793 Calories In / 3003 Calories Out. 16,678 Total Steps & 7.06 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 6 minutes which was badly needed.

07/23 …..196.8 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1293 Calories in / 3289 Whopping Calories Out!. 31 Net Carbs which included Spaghetti Squash Lasagna. 23,543 Total Steps & 10.04 Total Miles. Both are probably my record. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 50 minutes & woke up tired but am doing okay now. I walked for 60 minutes, rigorously cleaned cabins for 97 minutes & I danced for 51 minutes. Sample Song: “Black Magic Woman” by Santana.

07/24 …..196.2 ….. Travel Day. Yesterday’s stats: 1121 Calories In / 2458 Calories Out. 28 Net Carbs. 12,207 Total Steps & 5.17 Total Miles. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 16 minutes. I walked 43 minutes, did 44 minutes of general light/moderate house cleaning.

07/25 …..197.9 ….. After Travel weigh-in. I really don’t want to talk about it. It was lunch AND dinner out because of it being such a long day out of town afterall. Let’s just say that I’ve got some work to do. Traveling tomorrow and I will not be back until Sunday. I use a PC and I will not likely have access to a computer. I have an older phone but I can’t seem to get the app to work I’ll go by my daughters this evening for help. I would like to be able to log in while away on my phone. I hate to break my mfp streak. I hate to go away for the next 3 days but emotionally & socially it seems vital to me right now. It is odd & unexpected the way things change when your husband passes away and you are not longer a “couple”. You feel more like a 5th wheel. Not at family events, but socially. This lady friend that I am going with was someone I met as a customer of mine this past spring. She is recently divorced and feels much of what I’ve been feeling the past 3 years. So this trip is important to both of us emotionally & socially. We plan on having great fun! It will be filled with lots of activities & food choices will not always be something I can 100% control, but I plan on doing my best, even though my best is just not good enough yet. Notice, I said YET. I’ll never give up the good fight!

07/26 …..197.9 ….. Travel begins. I really want to drink more water but I usually don’t get as much during travel & events. I am going to try to focus on that this time.

07/27 …..xxxxx ….. Travel. No scale.

07/28 …..xxxxx ….. Travel, no morning scale.

07/29 …..xxxxx ….. After travel weigh-in. Nope. Not even going there! Buffet dinner on the way home last night. Today, not so good. Grab & go. So behind in work in the cabins due to all the checkouts yesterday that now need to be cleaned. Also, contractors showed up today to dig up behind cabins 3 & 4 to resolve some slow (septic) plumbing issues (clogs easily) so I am s.t.r.e.t.c.h.e.d to my limit on time. HUGE part of my yard dug up. Tons of cabin laundry awaits. My house is a mess from my brother (the house sitter while I was gone). And I would still LOVE to walk this evening if the thunderstorms stop. Not a good round for me but I'll check back in tomorrow. Have a good evening everyone!

07/30 …..199.7 ….. Does spit have calories? If so, I’m afraid if I swallow I will hit the 200 mark and that is not something I will accept after all my hard work, so today will be a day under 1200 calories & under 20 net carbs. Yesterday both were still too high on a grab & go today. Today is better planned. Yesterday I burned 2771 Calories, 13,905 Total Steps & 5.88 Total Miles. I rigorously cleaned cabins for 68 minutes burning 333 extra calories. Luckily I’m like a Phoenix and I always rise up from the ashes. I am thinking about going downstate (about 2 hours each way) to take my son & 2 of my grandson’s to see The Lion King. It would involve eating at a restaurant again. My son & I are SO EXCITED about the movie & the trip would be to the closest movie theater from us in general. It would involve at least one restaurant but if I stuck to ordering breakfast foods it would be a tremendous help in the food section of my plan. I’ll try to organize that trip today for asap.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 - 310.0 SO HAPPY as I weighed in at 311.4 yesterday. I also exercised for 20 min
07/23 - 308.6 This one made me happy because one of my weakest moments is after I grocery shop and I put food away. I tend to snack and snack while I put things away, and it's like a whole other meal. I didn't do this ONCE and it paid off. Exercised for 10 min
07/24 - 307 OH HAPPY DAY. I am loving weighing in every day and seeing how I'm doing It so keeps me in check on a day to day basis. 1 more pound to my round goal!!!
07/25 - 308.8 - not too thrilled with this one. Especially since I didn't make any mistakes and ate right the day before. However, I am in shark week so maybe that's it
07/26 - 308.8 - same -- still eating right
07/27 - DNW - was super sick, forgot to weigh
07/28 - DNW - same sick and forgot
07/29 - 308 - down a bit - still staying strong and eating right -- no binging and staying under calories
07/30 - 306.4 - pretty close to my 4lb goal for this round. Last night I felt my body actually feeling less swollen and felt pretty good about myself. Loving my fitbit and tracking steps. Having trouble getting my water in (though I am meeting my goal) the last few days. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be 306!

07/22: 223.0 What?? I knew I ate some things I shouldn't have, but my word! I never thought the scales would be up this much since yesterday, which was 220.6 😢🤔

07/23: 223.8 I'm really confused and getting frustrated. Walked a total of 5.27 miles yesterday and did pretty good on my consumed calories. Any suggestions would sure be appreciated.

07/24: 221.7 Walked about 4.5 miles yesterday. Was better about what I ate. I'm sure a lot of this is water loss, but I'll take it!

07/25: 222.4 Didn't do as well with my eating yesterday as I had planned.
07/26: 222.4 ☹
07/27: 222.6
07/28: Just really didn't want to weigh
07/29: Same as yesterday..

@LastTryljm Look back at what you ate 2-3 or more days for changes on the scale. What you eat today probably won’t be reflected in your weight for a couple of days. Figure out your body’s pattern.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 152.8 ~ {Steps 12,666} ~ I jumped right back on the horse after falling Saturday night. We took my grandkids to see Lion King at the drive in. The pizza, popcorn and ice cream jumped my weight a couple pounds. So again, the battle is in to get back in the 140s.

Day 1 - NO LNS and NO EATING after 6pm ✅


07/23 152.9 ~ {Steps 18,128} ~ I didn’t understand was spot on maybe my sodium was too high. I ate late so maybe that’s the problem too.

Day 2 - NO LNS and NO EATING after 6pm NO ON BOTH ACCOUNTS

07/24 151.8 ~ {Steps 19,206} ~ Another extremely hectic day but I decided to NOT eat my emotions but take a couple walks plus nooooooo late night snacking yay for me!

Day 3 - NO LNS and NO EATING after 6pm ✅

07/25 151.7 ~ {Steps 19,114} ~ I’ll take this for having dinner around 7:30pm. Plus I didn’t snack after dinner, that’s a big plus, woot hoot. NOW is the tough part since my husband is off tomorrow, focus focus focus!

Day 4 - NO LNS and YES EATING after 6pm ✅

07/26 151.3 ~ {Steps 9,015} Spot on with everything except eating dinner at 7:30pm, 😢 . Plus went to get my hair colored and dyed so not many steps in!

Day 4 - NO LNS and YES EATING after 6pm ✅

07/27 151.6 ~ {Steps ?}

Day 5 - NO LNS and YES EATING after 6pm ✅

07/28 150.8 ~ {Steps 13093}

Day 6 - NO LNS and YES EATING after 6pm ✅

07/29 151 ~ { Steps 13,597} ~ I succeeded in not eating my emotions, we waited the whole day for someone to install a new water heater but they never showed unfortunately. So last night I want to gym for a workout, instead of snacking which helped.

Day 6 - NO LNS and NO EATING after 6pm ✅

07/22 168.1 I'm a little bummed I didn't make my goal for Round 83. I really felt like I was retaining water the entire Round from my trip to Colorado and maybe still now. Two excellent parts of this weekend. Saturday morning I spent with my great-niece. We played in the shade at the park for almost an hour before it got too hot. Sunday it cooled down (heat index in the 110 area Saturday afternoon) after a storm and I walked 3 miles in the morning then met a girlfriend and walked 3.5 yesterday evening. It was beautiful, about 80 degrees and breezy.

I was glad she was with me because there was a crazy homeless guy on the trail. He just muttered to himself when he passed us so we didn't think too much about it other than it's very sad. When we turned around to go back he had stopped along the trail and unpacked his stuff all over the path. Which was very weird but not dangerous. Unfortunately, he had also started a fire in the woods burning a bunch of cables and other things that was giving off a chemical smell. Once we got well passed we called the fire department, about 5 minutes later we saw the truck and stopped them to explain where it was since there wasn't an address. He said don't worry, we saw the smoke already. It's so sad but at the same time, you don't know what people are going to do or what brought them to this terrible place.

07/23 169.1 After my 6.5 miles the day before I wasn't going to walk last night but it was soooooo nice that I had to walk a little. Just two miles in the neighborhood with my dog. The weight is TOM. Time will fix this problem. Meanwhile, it's CI/CO. Focus on health and not weight, blah blah blah. I found this link in another thread about water retention that I thought might help some. It helped me. I thought I had beat the water retention game but the last few weeks I haven't been able to lose the water. I think it's because of stress. I am VERY stressed right now with my home life. It did give me some mental relief that I wasn't going crazy.

07/24 169.9 This should drop in a few days. I walked three + miles last night. The weather is unseasonably pleasant. Usually, the end of July first of August is the hottest part of the year but we've got a week in the 80s with mild humidity. This is a small miracle for Missouri. It should be gym night but I'm struggling because it's beautiful outside.

07/25 167.7 Whooosh two stinky pounds! Happy days! I did go to the gym last night because it was 92 when I got off. I brought the clothes to go walking tonight. I didn't travel this week, and right now it doesn't look like I'm going anywhere next week. That should help with water retention. When it wasn't too hot and I could break up the drive with a walk in the middle it helped a little (I think).

07/26 167.7 All good. Walked my 3 miles last night on a trail I haven't been on in a few months. It's lovely for about a mile and boring for the rest. Within calorie goals even with a strawberry ice cream crunch I did have Chinese for lunch yesterday so I expected some water retention but it didn't happen. OR this weight does include water ??? Probably not but you can't blame a girl for trying

Happy Friday!

07/27 168.1 Walked one short mile in the woods but I got my friend to go with me. The rest of the day was a blur, shopping lunch, housework, grocery store, birthday party.

7/28 168.9 Too many birthday party snacks last night. It's hard to walk away from freshly made guacamole. Walked 3.5 miles with my Dusty dog in the woods. I wish it wouldn't have been so hot, I could have walked a lot more. The rest of the day doing housework and visiting with the kids and the baby.

7/29 No Scale I know I was over yesterday too. This birthday weekend thing is harder than anticipated. I went over both days. I guess I'll find out tomorrow what it means for the end of the round. One more dinner tonight and then I'm done with birthdays for another year.
AMEND: My coworkers had a surprise food day for my birthday. So two more meals but they made healthy snacks. I love the fact that they are honoring my lifestyle change (and not my diet).

07/30 169.9 I had hope for a nice drop this round but it's not going to happen. I was good on my B-Day but the three days before were bad. You only turn 50 once might as well have some good food. Back on target yesterday and today. This birthday was unnecessarily stressful. Most birthdays come and go, but everyone wanted to do something special for this one. The only person I really wanted to celebrate with (BF) was too sick to do anything. I'm heading out of town for work tomorrow and he's got the ok from his doc to travel so he's going with me. I used to travel with him a lot and work from the hotel, this is a change where he comes with me and works from my hotel. I just hope this time of us both traveling all the time will slow down a little, I need it to for my own sanity.

Day - Weight - Comment
07/22 - 132.4 (-0.1lb) - Food was all good besides hot chocolate at the end of the night, which definitely had added sugar. 1hr strength. 50min cardio. 14,385 steps. 137oz water.
07/23 - 132.6 (+0.2lbs) - Food was good. Up due to TOM which should start very soon. Day off strength. 1hr 30min cardio. 17,966 steps. 119oz water.
07/24 - 133.1 (+0.5lbs) - Food was good. TOM is cause of gain. Day off strength. 1hr cardio. 30min yoga. 15,278 steps. 119oz water.
07/25 - 132.8 (-0.3lbs) - Food was ok but chocolate and some small amounts of added sugar crept in out of nowhere. Wasn’t me. 60min strength training. 50min cardio. 15,366 steps. 135oz water.
07/26 - 133.5 (+0.7lbs) - Didn’t eat nearly enough calories. Had stomach pain all night and couldn’t eat dinner. Was short around 800cals and it was an intense workout day! 😔 BUT today is a new day and I feel better! 1hr 20min strength training. 1hr cardio. 14,573 steps. 175oz water.
07/27 - 134.1 (+0.6lbs) - Food was horrrible! First day I’ve eaten horrible in a long time! I was just so hungry. I guess my body wanted to make up the 650 calories I didn’t eat yesterday. Problem is I had ice cream and corn nuts 🤦🏻‍♀️ Its ok though, today is a new day and I’ll do better. Besides I felt so sick from the unhealthy food I don’t think I’ll even want to touch it for awhile. I blame TOM for all of this! LOL I can not be held accountable. Day off strength. 1.5hrs cardio. 14,763 steps. 142oz water.
07/28 - 134.8 (+0.7lbs) - Food wasn’t great. Was under calories though. Might be high due to sodium but not really sure. Day off strength. 2hrs cardio. 12,481 steps. 144oz water.

07/30: 214.7 Up only 8.2lbs after my 18 day vacation. I enjoyed lots of tiramisu, gelato, wine, pasta, and French breads and I don't regret a thing. It will be interesting to see how much of it is water weight and how quickly it will drop. I know a lot of it is also bloating from eating items that I am sensistive to, but I'm ok with that. I did so much walking and really enjoyed myself. Even though my flight came in at 11:30 last night I already worked out with my trainer this morning. My goal is to just get back into the routine of things. I have a bunch of errands to do today. I'm not going back to work until Thursday, so hopefully by then I will have gotten over most of the jet lag.

I am officially 5 rounds away from turning the big 4-0! That means I have 50 days to lose another 5 pounds and be below 140. When I started way back in July of 2018 I thought I would have already reached my goal, but alas I am still working on it, lol. My only goal this round is to see a new low and that my 10 day average continues to drop, however slow that may be and believe me the last couple of rounds it has been extremely slow.

Round 80: 148.7 - 148.0 down .7 Avg 147.22
Round 81: 148.0 - 146.5 down 1.5 Avg 147.87
Round 82: 146.5 - 146.3 down .2 Avg 146.93
Round 83: 146.3 - 145.9 down .4 Avg 146.72


07/22 - 147.3 up from yesterday, but had a good day. Did eat at the mall and then do some snacking while meal prepping for the week. So I am sure I will be back down soon. Finished my daughters room and all the school shopping for both girls. Dinner planned tonight and breakfast/lunches planned for the week. On track for today and should be an early night to bed. The youngest starts her last year of elementary tomorrow since she is in year around. Can't believe I will finally be done with that school. From my oldest to the youngest I have been going there continuously for the last 16 years!


07/23 - 146.7 I overate last night and did some snacking after I got home from work. I was starving all day yesterday and couldn't curve it for some reason. It was just one of those days I guess. For the next 9 days I am going to try and do absolutely no snacking before dinner, while cooking, or clean up after dinner. I am just eating to eat at that point and there is no point to it. So day 1 let's see how I do.

07/24 - 144.4 yes! Finally now all I have to do is keep it down and drop a couple more ounces before the end of the month. I can see that 143.xxx right around the corner. On track for today and dinner set for tonight!

07/25 - 143.1 New low and a huge drop! I almost cried when I saw this, I was so happy. We will see if it sticks tomorrow, but right now I am super thrilled with it! I almost have a 3 pound loss for the month, and I haven't had one of those since October. This made a new happy scale milestone (2 more to go), completes 35 pounds lost, I am officially in the "normal BMI" category by a couple of ounces, and I am at the top of my maintenance weight. I would like for my maintenance weight to be 138-143 eventually. I will see if I like it there and figure out what I want to do at that point. I am sure it will take me a while to get lower. This has been a pretty big month of weight loss, so I am totally expecting a jump up or to stay here for a while and I am completely ok with that. 6 days left to hold on and see what I can do. I have a tendency to let myself relax when I get comfortable and I am determined not to do that this time. I really want to see myself at 138.

07/26 - 143.1 I am shocked that this stayed the same. Maybe it is a real number. I snacked a little before dinner and then while cleaning up, so I was kind of worried this morning. Low cal day today and should be able to stay on track without any issues tonight. Would love to go into the weekend this low and be able to maintain the next 5 days. If I can finish the month at 143 or maybe even 142 something I will be thrilled.

07/27 - 141.7 I can’t believe I dropped even more. This month has been amazing! I am at almost 5 pounds lost and I never have months like that. I lose maybe a pound a month the last 4 or 5 months. I am so happy that it’s finally catching up and the scale is showing my hard work. It may go up over the weekend, but in super thrilled going in so low!

07/28 - 144.0 I hate that I eat a couple of carbs and boom 2 - 3 pounds overnight. Nice Japanese grill date night with hubby complete with korin beer and some saki. Water and better food options are in store for the rest of the day. Would like to end this month around 142 or back to 141!

07/29 - 144.4 The rest of Saturday night I am sure. Had shopping, laundry, and chores around the house all day yesterday, so my water was not as good as I would have liked. Today is planned and logged. Should have a nice drop tomorrow and hopefully will finish up this month and this round with a pretty good loss!

07/30 - 144.4 did well yesterday and expected a loss this morning, but as you can see I am the same. I am still down from the last round and I have 1 more day to finish this month and round up strong. Was on track all day yesterday and have my meals planned today. All 3 of my younger kids had dentist appts this am and wanted MacDonald's breakfast afterwards. I got an unsweet ice tea and that's it! So I should see that 143.xxx tomorrow!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/22 - 140.8, stayed the same as yesterday, which is great on a weekend! I have a group tennis lesson today, and I will try to do 60 minutes on elliptical. I have a work dinner tonight at a Thai restaurant so I might be up temporarily tomorrow due to sodium intake, but I preselected dinner already. Good feeling that this is the round I break into the 130s and stay there.
07/23 - 140.2, did not sleep well (fell asleep at 12am and it’s currently 4am). I have my alarm set for 6am so hope to go back to sleep. Taking my 8 year old dog to the vet for teeth cleaning and I am always so nervous! I won’t have time today for anything besides work and the dog so no workout. I am really thirsty so had too much salt yesterday, but drank a lot. Will continue to drink today (aiming for water, depending on how pup is!)
07/24 - 140.4, my dog made it out ok, but with six fewer teeth. He’s still a bit slower than usual, but understandable! I have dinner with a friend from college today at a prime rib restaurant (can’t believe we’ve known each other over 10 years!). Expecting to be a few lbs heavier tomorrow, but still hopeful end of the round will be a new decade.
07/25 - 140.6, meals entirely made at home for the next two days so should be down by Saturday.
07/26 - 140.4, had a good day yesterday and so far today has been good. I worked out for 60 minutes at the gym today and yesterday. Going to a see a movie later tonight and prep for a couple of presentations over the weekend. Although I wish I saw more of a change quickly, my overall trend line is going down and just have to trust the process. Some weeks I do the same thing and I lose over 1% of my body weight and other weeks will be less than .5 lbs
07/27 - 140.6, I have been having trouble sleeping so hopefully after my big presentation tomorrow, I can finally sleep. Today I had a couple of slices of pizza at lunch and sushi for dinner so will be up tomorrow, but had two offsites so limited choice.
07/28 - 140.2, tomorrow I’m off to Hawaii to visit family. I usually lose weight in Hawaii since it’s so hot I drink a lot of water and eat pretty clean. Hoping to be below 139 when I get back in a week.
07/29 - 140.5, weighed about 4 hours earlier than I normally do because need to catch an early flight so pretty happy with the number with that and the fact I didn’t sleep very well (always scared I’m going to miss the flight!)
07/30 - 140.2, back down a bit. Hoping to see 139.8 tomorrow, but still happy to see any loss.

My plan for the next 2 months (9 weeks) is to get dow to 68.0, that's 5kg to lose, which is 0.8kg each 10 day round. I have a bet with a friend to achieve this.
To do this, I will stick with logging, eat healthy and exercise. I will see how I can reduce my eating window during my work days.

Started day alright, very late breakfast, which was actually lunch, due to meetings, but managed ok. Was going to run in the eve but then DH suggested a bike ride. Fewer cals burned, but time well spent 🥰.
Dinner a little late, but resisted my urge to snack, so that's a win.

Good day, started with a run and exercise. Had a few snacks at work, but they fit within my cals and were on the healthier side.

That's the reward I needed for no LNS to stick with it Also, it matches MFP's prediction from 5 weeks ago, that's never happened before.

This week is crazy hot in the Netherlands, and I think most of Europe, so I started my morning with an easy walk before working from home. Due to meetings again didn't eat until late, which means I managed to fast for 16hrs again. In the evening, we decided to go to the cinema, have some burger at a new place, DH and I shared one and I went easy on the fries. Plus, we cycled there and back - becoming Dutch But then DH bought me popcorn, which I couldn't say No to. Overall good day

Nooo, this is the wrong direction. I guess it's a combination of the weekend and yesterday's evening run and too little water during the heat, oh and no TMI, since we're talking about that . I could also see this morning that my feet were swollen with what I guess is water retention.
Day went ok, big but healthy dinner and ovulation pain again. Bike ride with DH after dinner and then a brief walk,still not made my steps. I gotta go back to walking at lunch time.

No exercise this morning as I needed some extra sleep. Again didn't eat breakfast I had prepared, just had an apple and then lunch. I'm getting better at delaying food in the morning on work days. Late dinner due to thai boxing class, which meant I only got home at 8.30 and starving. DH made amazing Mongolian beef, had a small portion, generously estimated cals. But needed something sweet and some nuts afterwards. I'm sure that'll mess up my goal for this round. Next round will be difficult due to friend coming to stay with us again and we tend to enjoy wine together...

07/22 - 216.8 had a big up on the scale today from yesterday, but probably due to first day of period. Started Keto today because my weight loss has been so slow with regular CICO and my nutritionist said I may have insulin issues due to my PCOS, so giving it a shot. Energy levels high most of the challenges are mental but it's amazing how hard that is to overcome. Worked out with my PT today - super intense, very tired but happy
07/23 - 214.4 omg! Biggest loss I've ever had overnight. Thanks, Keto! I know it's just water weight and it really only put me .6 below my start weight for this after yesterday's high, but it gave me the morale I needed to keep going. Had a DXA bodyscan today - 46.5% body fat. What an eye opener... I had no idea it was that much. Used these two things to motivate me to stick to keto today. Crazy busy today so didnt exercise, but got lots of walking and stretching in today and will definitely go to the gym tomorrow.
07/24 - 214.2! That seems like a much more reasonable overnight change, so I'm happy. Hopefully some of this is fat and not all water. Thinking about all the visceral fat in my body scan has motivated me well to stick to my diet all day. Got an intense workout in on the elliptical and I'm feeling pretty good on Day 3 of keto!
07/25 - 212.6! Another big loss overnight! It feels like a miracle! Very happy on Day 4 of Keto but did buy an electrolyte today to help w a 2-day headache. Had a very stressful and agitating day but stuck to my calorie goals. Did not exercise... Spent the entire day waiting for a Frontier technician that never showed up and by the time the service window cloaed at 6pm, had to scramble to get chores done. Will get more exercise tomorrow and hope for a continued weight loss tonight despite no exercise
07/26 - 211! Omg, so happy! I ended up working out last night after posting that I felt bad not exercising. Then today, I definitely didn't eat enough during the day but then my partner came back from a long work trip and we did a celebratory meal and... I definitely ate a lot! It was my first time struggling to stick to keto because everything at the steakhouse was glazed but I got them to make me a special unglazed meal. Felt crazy full though so worried I overate. Got a tough workout in during the morning so hopefully that plus eating light during the day didnt reverse my losses
07/27 - 210.8! Glad to still see some loss despite my super heavy dinner. We had company visit today so I wasnt able to take time away to exercise, but we walked around a lot touring our new area. I stuck to my diet despite how hard it was to find keto options at the restaurants we went to, so I'm proud of myself for that
07/28 - 210.6! Very reasonable overnight loss. Woke up today with a cold (a real cold, not keto cold - coughing, sneezing, sore throat, congestion) Didn't do any exercise but did stick closely tp diet which was an accomplishment in itself bc usually when I'm sick I like tea w honey and simple carbs to eat.. so that is a big win! The lose is that our first free day in our new house and rather than do needed chores, I just lay about all day 😔
07/29 - 209.6! Haven't seen this side of 210 in a long time! So exciting to see a change in the tens position of my weight. Fingers crossed I can stay under 210 and this isn't just a spurious loss on the scale. Still sick with a cold though so missed work and my personal training today. Sticking to diet, hoping to be healthy so I can be exercising and productive again!
07/30 - 209.8! I figured yesterday's loss was ambitious, so I'm psyched to only be up .2 since yesterday and still on this side of 210... Hope I can keep it up stuck to diet goals today but still sick with this cold. Did some gentle yoga and hopefully will be all better and back to exercising tomorrow. Besides the cold, I feel great on keto so far. Losing weight with PCOS has felt impossible until I started this diet. Hopefully it continues to be effective for me
