08/05 – 190.0 - starting again. I’ve gained 5 pounds, but kept 10 off. I’ll be working on C25K three days a week. Signing up for a 5K on Oct. 26.
08/06 – 188.9 – good start. Recorded all food, no alcohol, drank all my water, and did first day of C25K.
08/07 – 187.6 – so excited. I’m sure this won’t continue as fast, but I need to keep recording. No exercise yesterday, but I did stand more at my desk.

I am in again and have done 13 rounds with the last 2 being weight gain and taking 3 rounds off. It is starting to get depressing but I am the reason for the gain. My goals for this round is to continue to get back on track and try logging food every day and work on getting back down to my lowest weight of 192 on 6/6/19 and continue with losing because I have a long ways to go.

I have put back on a little over 10 lbs of the 40+ I lost the last year and a half, so I’m back to reset and recommit. I’m still a long way from the 193 that was my recent high, but I do NOT want to go back.

08/04—158.4 Went on a hike in the mountains for 2.5 hours. Logged all my food and had no sweets.
08/05—157.4
08/06–-156.4 Worked out at the gym in the first time since warm weather. I’d just gotten too sedentary other than walking the dog, so I bit the bullet and went. Did some HIIT elliptical and a circuit training session. It felt good!
08/07—157.2 It’s these natural fluctuations that are hard to deal with when you weigh daily. Yesterday was a good day, but it doesn’t show here today. But, I know it’s just part of the process. Just gotta keep that trend line going down and be mentally tough.

08/07 - DNW - Stayed at BF's last night since I had to drive into town to pick up the truck's title (to get it registered) so no scale. We are getting bombarded by a storm (severe thunderstorm warning) and it just hit us as I pulled into work. Made a beautiful light show driving in, though. Food yesterday wasn't great. They extended our meeting so they provided lunch in the form of fried chicken. At least had some green beans with it.Then dinner was last minute spaghetti to use the ground beef he had before it went bad. I think I was within calories but still not ideal. Today we are volunteering as a department, going to lunch, and then doing an escape room. Hopefully plenty of movement to offset lunch (since I have no idea where we're going or what they will have available to preplan). Still sticking to IF. I broke my fast early yesterday (at about 15 hours) but that's because I hadn't EATEN in 17 by that point, but it took much longer to finish my drink. I started getting dizzy and figured 15 is still good. Today I can eat at 1030 so I'm going to see about stopping on my way to the event to grab a small snack to break my fast with and hold me over until lunch so I don't get dizzy again.

Previous day's comments for R85

08/01 - I forgot. Was distracted by the amazing smell of the pot roast I had in the crockpot all night. Feeling pretty bleh and unattractive today. Lots of sodium yesterday, I think. And snacking. I didn't track because I was so busy and then forgot what all I had eaten. Today I'm traveling to our general office and if I understood correctly, a coworker got us lunch situated so I didn't bring anything (free food while in a financial bind? Uh, yeah). I have dinner ready in the form of the delicious-smelling pot roast. And forcing myself to fast until lunch since I had a beer so late last night. Went grocery shopping on frugal mode and got some frozen veggies and other little things. About 7 meals worth of food for only $60! Win. Adding those veggies to everything. Also meal prepped 10 freezer breakfast burritos. Thinking of using them as a morning snack to break my fast (when I'm a good girl and don't eat/drink so late at night). Saves me from snacking until lunch.
08/02 - On my way back down. I really need to pay more attention to food. I have a freezer burrito I made to break my fast in about 3 hours and then my pot roast for lunch. Hopefully I can keep up mindful eating through the weekend. My neighbors and I went for a walk last night. Decided we will continue this as we all enjoy it and used to do it regular, we've just gotten in our own way. Plus accountability is nice. First Mama Neighbor and I for a quick loop in the rain (sprinkling) and then later MN, Downstairs Neighbor, and MN's roommate&bf went for another loop (still sprinkling). Very refreshing. BF's all weekend so no weigh-in Monday. Raining/storming today so my usual walk breaks may not happen. I'll walk around the building, probably.
08/03
08/04
08/05 - So much food yesterday. Went out to breakfast then friends made BF and I tamales for dinner (my favorite -- will make myself sick eating them). Ended up walking the majority of both BF's softball games and got some good steps in though not up to my 10,000/day I used to hit almost daily. Don't have anything packed for lunch today so I'm going to have to survive off vending machine, unfortunately. At least I have a decent dinner planned. Hopefully I don't pass out before cooking it. So tired since the softball games were so late (didn't get home until 10, asleep closer to midnight and a 430 wakeup)
08/06 - I did weigh, but I forgot what the number was entirely. Busy busy day and it only stays busy until I finally can go to bed. We have engineering team bonding tomorrow with volunteering in the morning followed by a lock room. Should be fun!

Day/Weight/Comment

08/01 – 142.5 – I need to remind myself to drink more water. I slacked on it yesterday and could tell I was retaining when I got up this morning.
08/02 – 141.5 – I drank my water yesterday. Good start for the weekend.
08/03 – 142.5
08/04 – 142.5
08/05 – 143 – I was so busy Saturday I didn’t have a chance to post, then I got sick to my stomach Saturday evening and spent the night in the bathroom. When my stomach started to recover Sunday morning, all I wanted was carbs and that is what I ate. I’ll see how things settle down over the next few days.
08/06 – 141
08/07 – 143 – Yesterday was a fluke because I had a fasting (including water) medical test yesterday so I slept in as late as possible. I ended up grabbing some fast food on the way home from the test, so I’m sure my sodium is up today. I’ll have to really watch the next couple days because we have a party Friday night.

Goal for this round: 4lbs

08/01: 212. Facing the reality of a 10lbs gain since April. Need to shake it off & lose it & continue losing as much as possible until vacation in October

08/02:210.8. Finally had an on track day! Caught a cold & TOM, but managed hot Yoga & did not snack.

08/03:211.8. Not sure why I popped back up. Could be the store bought soup DH brought for me because I am sick. We are having a party today so it is a free day. Hopefully the scale is kind…

08/04: 212.8. Oops the scale was not kind. No biggie. I know lack of sleep, is the biggest factor here. I am debating starting a 3 day fast to see if I can kick this cold to the curb…

08/05: 210. I didn’t fast yesterday. We spent the day cleaning up from the party & relaxing. I got a pretty good night sleep which is reflected on the scale

08/06:. 210. I ate well yesterday & went to hot yoga. . I probably would have had a drop on the scale if I had slept. I had a horrible night sleep & have to work today.

08/07: 210! Three days in a row! I will drink more water today & be more active to see a little more movement on the scale

OSW 382.0
RSW 303.4

This round might be a little rough, my birthday, my husband’s new job/schedule, and my usual pre-tom water weight stall fall in this round. I have pre-planned my birthday to stay on track, but sadly there is little I can do about hormones, or work schedules, so I’ll just have to stay on track and wait.

8/1 303.0 A nice start to the round. I’m hopeful of getting down a little more before the tom stall starts.

8/2 302.0 I wasn’t expecting this drop. I did extra weights yesterday and thought I would have a bounce or maintain. This makes a total of 80 pounds lost this year and I’m inching ever closer toward my next goal.

8/3 301.6 The trick this weekend is to stay on track even with my birthday tomorrow. We have a little extra money and it’s hard not to say let’s just go out. But I’m only two pounds from my next big goal and while I won’t make it there tomorrow I know that I will soon.

8/4 304.8 So for my birthday I got a 3.2 pound gain of water weight. I’ve been on track so I know that it has to be a water bounce from some source or another. I’ll be back down whenever this is passes.

8/5 304.2 I stayed on track and mostly on plan yesterday. I ate into my activity calories by 100 to have a cupcake that my daughter insisted had to be bought for me.
Because I was up yesterday I took the plunge and weighed at an earlier time that works better for the new household schedule. It’s all good though and while I didn’t account for a bounce up I knew this round would see some trouble with losing. Thankfully I don’t have anything else major happening until the end of the month so once tom comes the weight will go.

8/6 305.2 Wrong way again. I’ve had this happen before and it’s a matter of waiting it out because afterwards I have several big drops. I’m on track, though a little carb heavy last night , so I know that this is temporary.

8/7 304.8 I’m staying on track with calories, my food plan not so much. It’s okay though it’s more important to me to stay on track calorie wise than macro wise. The cravings for chocolate will pass. Tom, if on time, should show up in the next few days.

@shunggie and @AR10at50 I love this group and give all of these folks credit for my success. Like you, I didn’t/don’t want to let you all down by going off the rails. I think that’s why I have maintained or lost during our travels the last 2 years.

@debbie7373 If you are new to Keto, I would suggest cutting back on carbs over a week or two. That will help you avoid Keto flu.

08/01: 317.7 (-1.6) ... starting to recover from my recent uptick.

08/04: 314.8 (-0.1) ... new low, barely.
08/05: 315.2 (+0.4) ... as far as fluctuations go, this is pretty minor. I was pretty lazy this past weekend due to being sick. That ends now - took a six mile bike ride and a one mile walk before work today.
08/06: 314.8 (-0.4) ... to be honest, I'd be happy enough if I just maintained this weight for the rest of the challenge.

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Thursday, 8/1/19 - 123.9
Starting over AGAIN. Was fortunate throughout much of my life to be naturally thin. After two kids, was carrying around an extra 10 pounds. Lost those 10 pounds three years ago with MFP. Surprisingly, wasn’t as hard as I thought with careful MFP logging and exercise. In the intervening three years have let those 10 pounds+ creep back up with working much longer hours, focus on kids, much less formal exercise and not being careful at all with eating (i.e., too much junk food and snacking generally). Clothes don’t fit anymore and feel blah generally. Have tried a week here and a week there, but no real commitment to make a meaningful change. Going to try again now. Trick the first time was the game aspect - wearing Fitbit to see steps add up / logging food and then weighing daily as the “reward” for good habits. Set up now to do all three again this time. Started last week, and saw one pound down over the course of the week. With not too much to lose generally and being older, figure one pound a week is all I can hope for without being reckless (don’t want unsustainable short term success resulting in long term failure). Just one pound per week already has me on 1200 calories per MFP. Fingers crossed and hope my will power stays strong. The beginning is the hardest part!

Height: 5'0" (152cm)
SW: 168.4lbs on 6/23/19
GW: 100 lbs (If no weight training)
Round SW: 155.8 lbs

Earlier this round:

08/01: 156.0 lbs (+0.2 lbs)
Only up 0.2lbs after eating. Less than I thought. I hope I can keep going down without having to wait until I can make my next EF. Got 2 48h planned for next week. I might do 48 this week as well, but more likely I’ll do OMAD today and tomorrow. Will be traveling at the end of the round/beginning of next. I won’t have scale, but will do my best until then.

08/02: 156.8 lbs (+0.8 lbs)
Still in re-feeding mode. And haven’t been bathroom in 2 days. Suspect that has something to do with it. Will do only lunch today, then fast to tomorrow lunch. Would hate to see al the weight go back up after my EF. To not get discouraged I did a quick hip measurement and it seems to have gone down 2cm (almost an inch). So that’s awesome.

08/03: 157.2 lbs (+0.4 lbs)
Up again.. Gained back pretty much everything since my 72h fast. I’m counting carbs, protein, calories… This is getting depressing, and frustrating.

08/04: 158.6 lbs (+1.4 lbs)
Had a VERY late dinner last night (8:30pm) with parents. I know I shouldn’t have. I’ll just do a late lunch/early dinner today. Have so much to do anyway. Freaking out about it. Those stress hormones aren’t helping. Have to suite myself. I had a plan which wouldn’t have put me in this situation. I didn’t follow through, so here I am.

08/05: 157.8 lbs (-0.8 lbs)
Finally coming back down! Ended dinner very early last night to maximize my fasting. Gonna start a 2x48h schedule this week to make it work with my traveling later this week. Won’t have a scale, so we’ll see how well I do while travel. Still have 2 more days to get back down to my lowest at least. I’m so sick of seeing 157-159 on that scale! :P

08/06: 156.4 lbs (-1.2 lbs)
Not at my lowest yet, but at least the weekend weight has come off. Will break my fast tonight at dinner. Let’s see what happens tomorrow. 48h doesn’t feel so bad anymore. It’s very interesting to see how it’s changed from struggling with 16h, when I counted the hours from the moment I woke up. 😂

08/07: 156.0 lbs (-0.4 lbs)
Wohoo… basically back to my lowest which is my round start weight. However! Got 2 meals ahead of me today, And in my experience so far, that means a gain. Not sure if I will count tomorrow’s weigh-in as it will be earlier than usual. We’ll see. Tomorrow is fasting (perfect while traveling), then next meal is Friday dinner. Can’t forget to bring my salt!
