Day/Weight/Comment
8/11: 225.4 (+0.8)/19.1 (+0.1). I'm not sure exactly what happened, but not overly concerned, either. I thought I did a good job at least with portioning yesterday (came in at almost exactly my calorie goal), but food "quality" was not where it usually is. Weekends are always harder than the week, and today is no exception. My wife wants to go to a food festival, and then we're touring a really cool distillery (with tastings) right after. I'm going to keep focusing on portions as much as I can, and trying to stick to my macros.
8/12: 229.4 (+4.0)/19.5 (+0.4). Yesterday felt like a disaster, from beginning to end food-wise. I lost it for a day, didn't track at all, and didn't feel like posting.
8/13: 228.6 (-0.8)/19.4 (-0.1). Spent yesterday recovering from Sunday. I ate so bad on Sunday I felt sick most of the day Monday. I didn't track my food, but I think I generally did okay. My updated goal for this round is just to get back to my starting weight for the round.
8/14: 228.8 (+0.2)/19.5 (+0.1). If how I ate the previous day had any direct effect on my weigh-in the next morning, today would have been a loss. I was on-point with everything yesterday; I'll try to do the same today. I'm resigned to the fact that I might not reach my goal this week, and I'm okay with it (which is one of the reasons why I track average weight for each challenge... to track trends and get a more objective perspective). I've been most successful when I have trusted this process, and I'm going to stick with what I know. I really hope I get to play basketball again soon. The group I play with is having issues with the people who give gym permits. Every week I'm hearing, "Hopefully it will be done by next week."
8/15: 225.8 (-3.0)/19.1 (-0.4). Never look a gift WHOOSH!!! in the mouth. Sure, my drop this morning was less than my gain on Monday morning, but it still feels pretty good. I'm okay having weeks where I don't lose a whole bunch, but I'm really trying to avoid having weeks where I gain. Food yesterday was mediocre, honestly, but I ate within calories. REALLY hoping my basketball friends get their $h!t together and I get to play on Saturday. I also need to get into the gym, but life is making it difficult; I'm going to shoot for Friday night.
8/16: 225.6 (-0.2)/19.1 (0.0). I ate alright yesterday, with one glass of wine with dinner. I got some good news; we finally worked out our permit for my Saturday basketball game, which should be paid for and approved by today. The bad news; there's a volleyball tournament on Saturday at the high school we play at, so no basketball this Saturday (we get bumped for school events). I'm headed to the gym with my wife tonight. In addition to my normal weightlifting, I'm committing to 1/2 an hour on the elliptical in which I'll watch a television show I like (to keep me distracted). I'm really hoping it works. I H8 cardio.

Goals this round: drop 2 lbs
08/11 - 207.6! Wow! Haven't seen a drop like this in a while. Very happy! Hoping I can maintain but probably wont tomorrow, cheated a little today on my macros but stuck to my calories. Had a special occasion today, so not holding the macro cheat against myself. Will do better with macros and exercise for the rest of the week though! Until then, grateful for the loss I had today
08/12 - 207.8! Up a little but so happy to see this number on the scale. Trying to do a good job of sticking to keto. Today is the first day of my fourth week and the first time I'm struggling with cravings. I just want a sandwich! Grr... Maybe it's a side effect of resisting so many temptations this weekend. Trying to stick to my macros and calories and to continue resisting. I'll try to find something keto friendly to scratch this itch so I dont obsess over cravings. Doing a youtube hiit workout today, love them
08/13 - 207.2! Back to my lowest weight in two years 🤩 frustrating how much easier it is to stick to diet and exercise goals when the scale shows progress, but awareness of this type of thing is the first step to changing. Still, I'm very motivated to stick to food and exercise goals today. Made an epic fresh tomato sauce w lean ground beef and zoodles. Excited to have it again for lunch today
08/14 - 208.6... *sigh* literally for the entire month of August, my weight has been bouncing up and down 1.5 lbs. Gotta keep working hard to get it back down low. I hope I can push through this plateau soon. It's been exactly two weeks of the same yo-yo despite strictly following keto. Will try not to let this bring me down. Had a good workout with my personal trainer today and will stick to calories/macros and hope for the vest tomorrow.
08/15 - 207.8! And back down goes the yo-yo... Had a good day yesterday, hoping for a other one today. Will probably make today a rest day bc I am so sore from yesterday, but will fit in some gentle yoga to stretch and work hard to stick to macros today. Gotta work hard to hopefully end this weight flux and keep pushing onwards and downwards
08/16 - 206.2!!! Wow, what a drop. So so happy but also nervous this is just a fluke and I'm about to fluctuate right back up tomorrow. Fingers crossed... In the meantime, sticking to my macros and exercising and hoping to maintain this loss through tomorrow and beyond

Drink 72 oz of water
Sleep 7+ hours every day
3 day juice pressed juice cleanse from Monday-Wednesday to counter the music festival food
08/11 139.5, walked 32,000 steps yesterday during the festival, and woke up thirsty so need to drink more water. Today I’m on one stage mostly so my legs can have a much deserved rest!
08/12 140, had a really fun weekend, but got sunburnt so aloe is my best friend right now. Back to regular eating and exercise.
08/13 139.7, back on my way down. It should be a good day of eating and have a exercise class after work. I have a happy hour with my sorority alum group in the city so going to join for a bit, but will get a club soda since had too much drinking over the weekend and really want a good sleep so can power through the rest of the week and make up for the weekend.
08/14 139.4, busy day at work, but signed up for a spin class with a friend that should hold me accountable. It is harder for me to cancel on a friend at the end of the day, even if I really dislike working out after a long day.
08/15 139.1, almost back to where I was at the end of the last round and hope to see that by Saturday. I have a happy hour tonight at a really nice venue so will save a bulk of my calories for some cheese and wine! Planning on doing 70 minutes at the gym to counter some of the fun I’ll have to tonight
08/16 139, fun night last night but staying home and refraining from drinking this weekend. Glad to be back to where I was at the end of last round.

Hi everyone. Glad to see everyone back again for another round and that we have so many new people joining. Last round I finally got into a new decade (139.6) but messed up right away and killed that weight,lol. Stress got me for a couple of days so I am back at it again and will try to get back down.
Round 83: 146.3 - 145.9 Avg 146.72
Round 84: 145.9 - 143.7 Avg 144.28
Round 85: 143.7 - 139.6 Avg 142.35
08/11 - 141.5 up a bit today, not unexpected. Got into a bit of an argument with my husband last night and ate my emotions today. Men just drive me crazy with how simple they think sometimes, at least that is the way husband is. I crave carbs and comfort food when I am upset, so I consoled myself with them. We have been married so many years we hardly ever argue and when we do we make up fairly quickly, but he just makes me so angry sometimes. Uugghhh
08/12 - 145.0 so here is the rest of my emotional eating on Saturday and I was horrible yesterday. Of course we have already made up, but then he took me to lunch to apologize and I had 2 bloody Mary's so the sodium and carbs are through the roof right now. Water, water, and water today to get me back down. 5.4 pounds from Saturday morning to Monday morning is such a bummer. I have been doing this long enough to know not to freak out though and within a couple of days I will be back down. One weekend of emotional eating and drinking and this is what happens. I have to learn how to deal with things a little better I think, lol.
08/13 - 145.0 I am thinking this is all hormonal. I have been extremely sensitive and moody the last couple of days. I also wanted salt/sour things all weekend and couldn't satisfy my cravings. There is no reason for my weight to be this high and still be up other than stupid hormones. I know when just looking at my husband annoys me that there is something else going on. I am actually feeling a bit better today and can see how crazy I have been the last couple of days. I should have known when the scale jumped up almost 6 pounds over night and has stayed there something else is influencing it. Hopefully by Thursday or Friday I will be back to normal. Just have to stay the course at this point.
08/14 - 142.7 back down and feeling back to "normal". I am not mad at the world anymore, lol, and can actually think straight again. I love being a woman sometimes! Hopefully I will be back down to my 140/141 tomorrow and be able to hold steady there the rest of the round. I have 1 more round after this one to try and get into the next decade and stabilize before birthdays, vacation, and 3 day weekends take over for a month. The end of August and first half of September are going to be challenging, but I think I am up for it.
08/15 - 142.7 same as yesterday which is good, because I was not great last night. 3 beers, a half a piece of lasagna, and a garlic knot for dinner. Thankfully I started with a huge salad and I had only had 300 calories all day before that. It was so nice outside last night my husband and I sat out in the back yard and just enjoyed the evening. That's where my 3 beers came in, lol. Oh well, hopefully I can keep it together this weekend because I haven't accomplished much this week. I am still up about 3lbs from the ending of the last round, so if I can get rid of at least 1 more pound I will be happy. These last 5-7 pounds are really stubborn.
08/16 - 142.7 I have not been on track all week. I craved carbs and fast food all day yesterday and ate them. I don't know what is going on with me, but all I can do is keep going. I have planned today, so I should stay on track. My 2nd youngest is turning 14 on Sunday and we are having his party tomorrow. Will try to make good choices and if I can hold steady through the weekend then I can start fresh on Monday. All I can say is that at least I am not gaining anymore. I am still up about 3 pounds from the ending of the last round, so my work will be cut out for me in the next round for sure!

Day/Weight/Comment:
08/11 - 137.4 lbs: I've been off track for a while, just riding it out.
08/12 - 138.0 lbs: TOM finally started, that explains the week of cravings. I think I'm over it. Of course, I start every day strong and sort of go off the rails around 3pm. Need to break that habit!
08/13 - 137.8 lbs: Feeling pretty good about where I'm at today. I did not go off the rails at 3pm yesterday for the first time in a long time, progress! Spent a couple hours cleaning out the garage instead and before I knew it, it was after 5pm. Maybe I just need to distract myself each day around 3pm... Heading out to play some pickleball in a few. Enjoy your day everyone!
08/14 - 137.4 lbs: Back to the start. Been yo-yoing here for a while (looks like 2 months at least) but I think I'm going to get past it, feeling good. Played a bit in the sun yesterday and will play again tonight, making a big salad for dinner. Have a great day, guys!
08/15 - 138.0 lbs: And the yo-yo continues. I ate pretty well yesterday, even had a protein smoothie for dinner after working out. Will just keep on keeping on. I'm in a good frame of mind to stay on track and haven't gained too much during the fall, looking forward to an upcoming loss... I can feel it coming
.
08/16 - 137.2 lbs: Yes, finally broke through (and TOM is gone). Taking the day off from working out and plan to do some yard work, house work, organizing, etc. Will be working out a ton over the weekend. It's also usually easier to eat well over the weekend because I'm so busy, looking for a strong finish for this round! Might even reach goal - 4 days to go. Off to work...

08/11: 217.6 (up 1.8 from yesterday😢)
08/12: 216.7 Still not down to my EW in round 85, but at least the number is going down.
08/13: 215.4 I did a water fast yesterday. I've been having some cramping which is not normal after menopause, so I'm having to go in for a Hysterosonography tomorrow. I'm feeling pretty nervous about it. Have any of you had this procedure?
08/14: 214.5 Continued fasting for the most part of the day yesterday. For dinner I had a cup of bone beef broth and just under a 1/2 cup of fresh raw brocolli florets.
I went in for the Hysterosonography today. Was feeling pretty nervous about it so my dr called in one pill of lorazepam. I guess it helped because it wasn't as painful as I was fearing. They did say the lining of my uterus has thickened, found a polyp in my uterus and a possible benign cyst on my left ovary. I'm waiting on my dr to get in touch with me to see what's next.
I'm expecting a gain tomorrow ☹ I broke my fast when my husband & youngest son wanted to take me to lunch & a movie. We had yummy calzones for lunch and then I had popcorn & coke at the movie.... plus my son surprised me with a box of Junior Mints candy since he knows they're my favorite 😋 I'm hoping I didn't undo the progress I've made the last couple of days🤞🙏
08/15: 216.4 Not at all surprised by the gain after yesterday. Today's a new day that the Lord has made and I'm going to rejoice. I'm gonna get this weight off of me!
08/16: 217.3 Pretty discouraged. Really didn't even want to post this. I wish it could just be a steady downward loss...

08/11 - 131.8 (+0.5lbs) - DOMS from leg day 😓... loads of water retention. I’m sure it will come down in a few days.
🥘 Food was pretty good for most of the day but I did end up eating some sugar last night at a birthday party. I passed on all the alcohol and cake. So even though it’s not as clean as I’m used to, I did really well. That being said.. macros were a bit more off than normal, over on carbs. 😣
🏋🏻♀️ 1hr 5min strength.
🏃🏻♀️ 30min cardio.
🧘🏻♀️ Day off yoga.
👣 11,488 steps.

🧘🏻♀️ Day off yoga.
👣 13,866 steps.

08/13 - 131.8 (+0.6lbs) - DOMS still just a diff muscle group 😆 Rest day is tomorrow though so should even out a bit. Need to get some yoga in for muscle repair!
🥘 Food was ok, more added sugar than I’d like. I bought protein shakes w/sugar by mistake and will never do that again 🤦🏻♀️ that being the case carbs were higher than I would have liked. Still in a deficit though.
🏋🏻♀️ 1hr 20min strength.
🏃🏻♀️ 40min cardio.
🧘🏻♀️ Day off yoga.
👣 11,517 steps.
💧 131oz water.
08/14 - 131 (-0.8lbs) -
🥘 Food was pretty good. Still getting rid of those protein shakes with cane sugar 😒 it’s really messing up my macros but I can manage. I was pretty close on macros, still hard to pack in all the protein but I’ll figure it out eventually.
🏋🏻♀️ Day off strength.
🏃🏻♀️ 1hr cardio.
🧘🏻♀️ 30min yoga.
👣 12,995 steps.

08/15 - 130.4 (-0.6lbs) -
🥘 Food was good until dinner and then it was horrible. Burger King vegan whopper with the bun 🤦🏻♀️ but today is a new day! I was under cals for the day but I don’t want to even think about the macros. 😖
🏋🏻♀️ Day off strength.
🏃🏻♀️ 1hr 45min cardio.
🧘🏻♀️ Day off yoga.
👣 20,603 steps.
💧 142oz water.
08/16 - 130.2 (-0.2lbs) - Surprised I’m not sore from how heavy I lifted chest and tris yesterday. Maybe I’ll feel it tomorrow. Anyway nice small loss!
🥘 Under cals but macros were off by quite a bit. I changed my macros a little to make it more feasible to meet. Will see how it goes.
🏋🏻♀️ 1hr 10min strength.

Round 86
Finally back. Got upper dentures on the 12th. Thought I would lose weight because it was hard to eat, but I think I managed to consume more
and definitely some stress eating leading up to it. Just thankful that I’ve had a partial for years so I know I will adjust over a few weeks. Have to start keeping track of the calories so my weight doesn’t balloon.

08/11 300.4 So close.
08/12 299.2 Yay!
08/13 299.8 First thank you everyone!! I’m far from the finish line, but it’s so nice to hit this point in my journey. It’s been a long time since I’ve been under 300. My next big goal is 250, that will be my lowest weight in about 20 years.
I’m not surprised by a bounce, I’m just happy that it’s not higher. Yesterday I was hungry and craving high calorie, high sodium foods. I knew that I wasn’t thirsty so I ended up opting for some high sodium soup that I could fit into my calories. I felt a lot better afterwards. My nsv yesterday was listening to what my body needed without going on a binge.
08/14 299.8 I’m okay with maintaining I’m still retaining some water from the high sodium day. I’m also a little stiff and sore this morning from deep cleaning and rearranging my kitchen. Lastly I’m still waiting for tom to show, but I’ve had a few of the signs that it should arrive in a few days. I struggled a lot less yesterday and even turned down ordering dinner in because of a stressful afternoon and instead stayed on plan. I’m really proud of myself for not turning to food and to deal with my stress.
08/15 299.4 Hopefully I’ll keep dropping I’d love some more distance from 300.
08/16 298.6 I was out and about yesterday and will probably be again today or tomorrow. It’s been a long time since I’ve been out and about, I hated being seen and hated how much effort it took just to get to the car. Because of this I planned a HUGE dinner because I hadn’t had much earlier in the day. However as I was measuring it out I stopped at about half my planned portions of everything going I think this is more than enough. In the past I would have easily eaten three times the amount I had planned to serve myself. As a result after dinner I was under 1200 calories for the day, so I treated myself to an ice cream bar that was well within my calories and macros.
All in all it was a very good day. My nsv was walking around Walmart, I hadn’t walked in a store for at least three years.

I've had so much going on with work, and working overtime everyday that it has taken over my life. Along with trying to keep up with my friends and family it's been hard to have a minute to take care of myself or even log on here to keep track. My weight has been very all over the place and I'm really trying to get on top of everything. I'm honestly burned out and so upset that after how hard I've been working and was even down to 195 almost a year ago, I've put weight back on.

Day / Weight / Comment
08/11 - 146.6
08/12 - 147.2 My weekend out of town wasn't a total free-for-all, but it did push the scale up a little more than I would have liked. Tired and not feeling well today, but using that as a reason to and not an excuse to not get back on track today!
08/13 - 145.8 Back down a little and physically feeling much better. Yesterday I could feel how slow and out of it I was, but I completed my boxing class as best I could, which helped a lot. I ate a frozen dinner but tracked it, and went to sleep early. Feeling like a new person today - and wearing yet another old pencil skirt to work! We have a family dinner out tonight so I have checked out the menu already and I have a few healthier options in mind for ordering so I don't set myself back too much.
08/14 - 146.6 Wasn't as good as I should have been at dinner, but still tracked it as best I could and didn't overstuff myself. Back on my shake, salad, and water today! If the weather cooperates, I'll try to get a neighborhood walk in too.
08/15 - 146.0 Up and down and up and down...weight loss is not linear...weigh loss is not linear. A drop is still a drop and as I'm getting closer to goal weight, things are slowing down. And I haven't been 100% on my game either, even though my calories are coming in fine. Tonight it will feel good to get back to the gym, and hopefully that will stir up some energy...I've been falling asleep super early all week! So no pushups and no walking, but at least I'm not staying up late to snack!
08/16 - 145.0 Feels like I've been floating around this weight for so long now, but it's really only been over the last two weeks! I did have a great kickboxing workout last night, and we threw together a dinner that I was able to easily track. I didn't have anything packed for lunch either, and didn't have any particular cravings for fast food, but I was very, very tempted to just go grab some because it was a quick option. Fortunately, I took some time to think it over, remind myself of other restaurants around my work area and use that to pick a healthier lunch option! Really looking forward to getting a meal plan going again for next week, which should help with closing out this round!

8/11: 201.6 (+.8) not too bad. Expected far worse. Didn’t make it to the gym yesterday and went over my calories. Had family day and although I weighed all my food and portioned It properly. I gave in at night for ice cream with the family. Today I have a kids bday party. Going to try super hard to be better.
8/12: 200.6 (-1.0) I’m ok with this. I did good yesterday but I didn’t have enough water like I usually do and I also didn’t eat very good. I ate small but I ate crap. I was super exhausted so it threw me off nans I was at a birthday party for kids. So too much was accessible.
8/13: 200.8 (-.2) I’m not sure what happened. I was far under my calories. Had 2 workouts yesterday and drank over a gallon of water. Yesterday was the best I felt in a while. And yet the scale went the wrong way. What the heck!!
8/14: 199.6 (-1.2) yesterday was a pretty good day. Good gym session. Good food choices. Plenty of water. Soccer game at night. I felt really good when u went to sleep and i am content with today’s results. It’s a slow journey but at least I’m on it. Thanks for the support
8/15: 201.0 (+1.4) well I have no idea what’s going on anymore I lower my calorie intake. I’m working out. I’m staying active. I’m not eating late at night. And I’m not making any progress. My new challenge goal is to just get to my starting weight for the challenge.
8/16: 200.8 (-.2) half way done and at my original starting weight. I hope I can maintain or lose.

08/12 151.6 spent the weekend at the cabin with company. Meals consisted of cheeseburgers, hot dogs and beer. All the great luxuries of summer. Back home and on track for the rest of the week.
08/13 150.2 not totally trusting my scale these days (Yesterday was higher than I think it should have been) but I’ll take it!
08/14 149.8 logged, stayed under calorie budget, and exercised. Yesterday was a good day.
08/15 150.0 yesterday was busy, active, great day. Workout, Volleyball, then the kids and I took hubby for a round of golf for his birthday. Came home and enjoyed a small piece of birthday cake and a family movie. Logged everything and stayed under budget.
08/16 150.4 weighed a little later than usual today. Had another good day yesterday. Met my goals of logging, staying under calorie budget and working out. Not much more I can do but patiently wait for that drop. My head is in a place where I’m not racing to drop a bunch of weight quickly, so I’m okay with waiting it out. This new mindset has everything to do with this community and reading posts from people who have been committed for multiple rounds. I have read your posts about gains, losses, and plateaus but generally see slow, steady progress which is so inspiring. With time and long term commitment it will happen! But...let’s be honest...a drop sooner than later would be nice. Lol. Thanks for posting everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
08/11 130.6 Stuck! I was at this weight all last round.
08/12 131.8 Expected this. To get out of my stall, I ate a few hundred 'extra' calories yesterday (kinda- I'm usually a couple hundred under, so I made sure to use them all).
08/13 130.4 Hey there 130-point-something, my old friend, how ya been? Knew I'd see you again.
08/14 130.4 Asking for a friend, does CICO even work for losing the last 5-7 lbs??
08/15 129.6 The 120s!!! Nice to see- very nice- but here's why I'm not too excited about it: I barely ate yesterday! Hey, we can all bust plateaus if we don't even eat a measly 1200 calories, but OBVIOUSLY that's a failing plan. It's honestly a little depressing because I only broke into the 120s after barely eating, so how the heck am I supposed to get there eating normally?!
08/16 130.4 Surprise, I ate yesterday! Like a real, live human! Expected, yet I *was* hoping to see another 129. Even though the difference between yesterday's and today's number isn't even a pound and I look exactly the same, I like the lower number better, ha. It's kind of similar to how when you see something marked $5.99- intellectually, you KNOW it's 6 bucks, yet on some level, you're thinking, awesome, only $5. For me, anyway, my feelings about weight loss aren't always guided by rational thinking. Probably the biggest gift of this challenge beyond losing weight is gaining insights into how I think, which should help me maintain eventually.

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.

Goals for this round:
1) Thoughtful food choices and good hydration
2) An hour of walking or other activity each day
Day/Weight/Comment
08/11 – 185.2 – Not bad for a post-party weigh-in, but I expect to see another bounce this week. Although most of my house guests left today, my son and his fiancé are here for the week. We have lots of outings planned, since this is essentially another vacation. I’m hoping to make good choices, get some exercise, and end this round without a gain.
08/12 – 185.2 – Beach day! Did my best to stay hydrated, but didn’t make the best food choices today. All that sun and surf and the wine with dinner have made me too lazy to log before calling it a night. Oh, well. I think I just need a break.
08/13 – 186.4 – Big bounce, but not unexpected. Spent the day walking around the city and made better food choices today so we’ll see what tomorrow brings.
08/14 – 185.8 – Looking better. Weather cancelled today’s amusement park trip, but I think we were all ready for a quieter day. Although we had dinner out, food choices were more in line with my usual fare. Too much sodium again, but I stayed under my calorie limit. Didn’t get my walk in, but I managed to get some chores done while the others were out. So overall, not a bad day.
08/15 – 186.2 – Okay, this wasn’t unexpected, but I’m starting to question the wisdom of daily weigh-ins during a vacation week. On one hand, it’s useful to see the day-to-day fluctuations in a less controlled environment. The bounces really haven’t been that big and it’s reassuring to see that I’m still within a pound of this round’s starting weight. On the other, I feel like I’m starting to resent that nagging reminder of the next day’s weigh-in popping up when I just want to relax and enjoy myself. Do I really need ice cream? Should I have that second glass of wine? Why did I eat that salty pickle? Vacations and social events are part of life, so I know I need to work this out if I’m going to have long-term success.
08/16 – 188.4 – Yikes! I haven’t seen this number since the end of July. Ah, well. I knew August was going to be challenging. Yesterday was the last day of my son’s visit, and we wrapped up with a day on the boardwalk with some of the grandkids, drinks at a local biergarten, and a late, leisurely dinner at a lovely Cuban restaurant, followed by a moonlit stroll on the beach. It was wonderful! I ate - and drank - all the things and came home a little too full, but also relaxed and happy. Today we were up at 5 to drive to the airport. Considered skipping the weigh-in, but figured what the heck, I might as well see what the damage is. In the big scheme of things, if it takes another round or two to reach my goal, so be it. Made good choices, logged my food, and even fit in a walk today, but I’ll be setting off for another few days of celebration tomorrow. And I’m not going to stress about it.

** ROUND 86 **
Round # 18 for me
Day/Weight/Comment
08/11 392.8
08/12 395.0
08/13 394.4 – Well I am back. Had a busy weekend. I am still trying to get back on track. I had a great WW meeting. I attended the meeting. The goal is to attend the meeting again Saturday and to lose weight. I had a 1.2 pound gain this week. For a total of 3.6 gain. ☹ But I am going to turn this around. Not worried, just going to keep at it is all. I got my 7000 steps in yesterday. My eating could have been better. I had a salad last night instead of fast food.
08/14 395.8
Salty foods but an overall ok day.
08/15 394.4 back down or a maintain. I will take it…. Struggling. Trying to eat better today. I got my 7000 steps yesterday and will get them today. Keep rocking it you all--I see a lot of losses! :flowerforyou: If you have not lost today that is ok too because you are here and checking in and that is what counts and will help you on your journey. It will help us all get there. Keep up the good work Everyone!! :flowerforyou:
08/16 392.6Another blue day and another blue dot day yesterday too! Not enough blue dot days this week to have a loss this week at WW's weigh in tomorrow. But I am going for weigh in and staying for meeting also. I will make 5 days in a row 7000 step goal this week if I get it today which I will. Eating has been pretty good today too. My goal this weekend is to get in the 380's by Monday. I have a BBQ tomorrow and I must make Mac and Cheese for it. Not sure what I was thinking when I volunteered to bring M&C. But I have a plan. As long as I don't have 2 bad days on weekend, I usually do ok. But 2 bad days is never good. Have a great weekend everyone!! :flowerforyou:

My journey … ("I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!")In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbsMy highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. :flowerforyou: SW 373.4 - 1/3/19 GW 299 - 12/31/19 :flowerforyou:

Day/Weight/Comment
08/11 130.6 Well I expected that after a record 3 pound loss at the end of last round that my weight would go back up - expect that a large part of that drop was water weight from being out in the sun/heat the last 3 days. Ended up with less exercise yesterday, but quads and right ankle definitely needed a rest. Was doing fine on food and even managed to fit in a tablespoon size scoop of homemade garlic ice cream, but DH opened a bag of fake fritos late last night after watching a movie, so yesterday ended up being sort of a cheat day - I definitely need one now and then and probably was under calories if I ate back exercise calories. Anyway expect the weight will stabilize over the next 10 days if I can keep up activity and log food while out of town. NSVs: MFP prediction for today was 133.5, so clearly under that and still tracking a 1.2 lb loss over 7 days and 5 for 30 days! Also while packing for trip to mountains, found a small black sleeveless silk dress in my closet that fits perfectly! Goal is to stay active on trip to the mountains and wear it out for dinner!

08/11 300.4 So close.
08/12 299.2 Yay!
08/13 299.8 First thank you everyone!! I’m far from the finish line, but it’s so nice to hit this point in my journey. It’s been a long time since I’ve been under 300. My next big goal is 250, that will be my lowest weight in about 20 years.
I’m not surprised by a bounce, I’m just happy that it’s not higher. Yesterday I was hungry and craving high calorie, high sodium foods. I knew that I wasn’t thirsty so I ended up opting for some high sodium soup that I could fit into my calories. I felt a lot better afterwards. My nsv yesterday was listening to what my body needed without going on a binge.
08/14 299.8 I’m okay with maintaining I’m still retaining some water from the high sodium day. I’m also a little stiff and sore this morning from deep cleaning and rearranging my kitchen. Lastly I’m still waiting for tom to show, but I’ve had a few of the signs that it should arrive in a few days. I struggled a lot less yesterday and even turned down ordering dinner in because of a stressful afternoon and instead stayed on plan. I’m really proud of myself for not turning to food and to deal with my stress.
08/15 299.4 Hopefully I’ll keep dropping I’d love some more distance from 300.
08/16 298.6 I was out and about yesterday and will probably be again today or tomorrow. It’s been a long time since I’ve been out and about, I hated being seen and hated how much effort it took just to get to the car. Because of this I planned a HUGE dinner because I hadn’t had much earlier in the day. However as I was measuring it out I stopped at about half my planned portions of everything going I think this is more than enough. In the past I would have easily eaten three times the amount I had planned to serve myself. As a result after dinner I was under 1200 calories for the day, so I treated myself to an ice cream bar that was well within my calories and macros.
All in all it was a very good day. My nsv was walking around Walmart, I hadn’t walked in a store for at least three years.

Slept over 6 hours people! Amazing. I walked 131 minutes yesterday & I painted cabins for 102 minutes so the extra calorie burn over my normal work was 1,111. That is all that saved me. Have a good weekend everyone & forgive me for tomorrow as I went to the fish fry tonight. I only ate half a meal but it was still too carby. But we’ll talk about that tomorrow! For now I am still trying to focus on the 10 day goal. 2 pounds, 2 pounds, 2 pounds. I have just one pound to go.
