Round 86 SW: 224: (08/16) Missed most of this round due to post vacation illness
Round 86 GW: 222
08/16 - 224 - Surprised with this weigh in as when I came back from vacation, I was back up to 228ish (not as much as I thought due to the 16k+ steps everyday in Orlando, I'm sure). Although I've been sick, I've been trying to log and stay within my macros so that probably helped. Hopefully as I feel better I'll have the motivation to exercise.
08/17 - 224 - hopefully I can maintain through the rest of the weekend.
08/18 - 225.4 - Definitely all the pizza on Saturday 😜
08/19 - 224.6 - Did not exercise yesterday, but I worked up a sweat deep cleaning the main floor of my house (washed walls, scrubbed the hard to reach floor corners etc.). Planning to do Zumba and/or a NTC workout this evening. If I write it here, I have to do it.

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
08/17 - 206.6! Up a little bit but not in the 207 or 208 range like I expected! Super happy 😊 stuck to keto and spent the whole day walking around. Was super hard because I was at a festival where all the food was fried, but I managed to resist temptation! Hoping to keep this new 206 development for weigh in tomorrow
08/18 - 206.6! No change is still a win because it's not an increase! Got my meal planning done for the week today, lots of delicious healthy keto meals on deck for the week. Doing chores in the backyard as my exercise and going to stick well to my calorie goals. Hoping to keep making progress
08/19 - 206.4! Yay! A drop! And on my first day of my TOM. Very happy... Fingers crossed this lasts through tomorrow so I can finish this round at goal. Have my workout w my personal trainer soon, last one before my gift certificate runs out. It's been good to have these 5 workouts with her. Today is also the first day of my fifth week on keto! Celebrating by sticking to my diet and crossing my fingers for more results down the line

Yesterday’s stats: 1756 Calories In / 2779 Calories Out. 42 Net Carbs. 17,168 Total Steps & 7.26 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 12 minutes. I did the elliptical for 11 minutes, Walked at slower pace for 85 minutes and walked with neighbor at a faster but moderate pace for 53 minutes. Total extra calorie burn was 852. Today I clean tourist cabins & do motel laundry all day. It will be busy.
08/19 …..196.0 ….. BBQ after cabin cleaning. I ate the 2 buns. Luckily TMI helped. Not as much activity planned so I’ll have to figure that one out. Yesterday’s stats: 1948 Calories In / 3234 Calories Out. 130 Total Carbs. 21,448 Total Steps & 9.08 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept a LOUSY 3 hours & 29 minutes so I am so very very tired again today. I rigorously cleaned tourist cabins for 228 minutes, took a moderate paced 45 minute walk & also took a 17 minute moderately paced walk with neighbor & her dog. Total extra calorie burn was 1418. Lots of paperwork today so I hope to fit in some activity. Can I lose one pound overnight to meet my goal? You betcha! Lots of water & mindful eating today.

Day/Weight/Comment
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...
08/17:
08/18:
08/19: 221.1. I've been eating horribly. I've got to get it together!

@GrandmaJackie Thank you for setting up the next round!
@StatChicBayes You probably needed electrolytes in your water. My husband had a heat stroke after working outside in the 115* heat several summers ago.
@betsychange You’re welcome! I do wish MFP would change it.
@Hilogirl2018 This will be my 12th technically. Since we fly to Long Beach, we usually do back to backs to save on airfare. More bang for our buck! And congratulations on the 120’s!
@jspecies11 Feel good about having a round at the same-ish weight. Your body is adjusting. Keep up the good work!

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!
08/17 - 143.6 Started the day with a great cross-training fitness/MMA class! That and hitting my previous low weight from a few weeks ago kept me focused and helped to not blow my progress at a kid’s birthday party in the afternoon. Normally I’m all about the cake, but this one wasn’t even that good, so I took a few bites and threw it away.
08/18 - 143.4 **NEW LOW!** woohoo! Today is all about grocery shopping and meal prepping and planning for a successful week all around!
08/19 - 143.2 **NEW LOW!** Hello hello to a weight I literally haven't seen since before I got married 5 years ago! Although I'm not sure if this weight will stick around...the weekend consisted of more small meals/snacking (while staying within calories) instead of actually sitting down for meals. But sure is nice to see! My breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are all planned or prepped out for the week, and going to the gym for kickboxing tonight! I've been slacking on my pushup practice, so I need to get a little more consistent with that. And also...it's way too hot for walking outside. That goal was reaching a bit and not going to accomplish it

11: 230.7 Day trip across the state today, but I feel pretty confident about managing my food intake and the timing.
12: 231.6 Kept to calories and IF schedule, but had fast food for supper. I couldn't find a decent restaurant easily from the interstate. Then we were just in small towns and reaching the end of my eating window. It's all good though.
13: 231.4
14: 232 Yesterday was a really good day health wise. Anyone else have stalls or gains during ovulation?

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.
08/17 138.9, off to the gym for 90 minutes (just elliptical) and then going to finally see spider man before it leaves theaters. Have work to do later tonight so dinner is already prepped at home.
08/18 138.8, in the right direction, but really hoping for a whoosh this or next round since getting impatient with the amount of work I’m doing. I have a feeling it’s going to be this slow for a lot of the remaining 18.8 lbs (happy scale trend is .5 lbs a week now)
08/19 138.6, although I won’t see my goal of 137.5 this week, I am always proud when I show up for myself and work hard. Today’s just another day of following the plan the best I can.

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.

08/11 121.0
08/12 120.0 Flying home this afternoon. Looking forward to hugging my DH, scratching my cat, and sleeping in my own bed, as well as seeing other family, friends, and neighbors. I will miss Mbabydoll.
08/13 121.0 Day after travel day. Ate a really not Keto lunch yesterday at Taco Bueno before heading to the airport. Did not have nearly enough water and had one adult beverage on the plane. I was exhausted when I got home. Going to lunch with friends today.
08/14 121.5 Lunch yesterday was not what I was hoping for. Chinese is on place that I know is going to be carby but this was mega carby! Travel+2crappy high carb days+2 days no TMI = this! It’s okay because this will take care of itself.
08/15 122.0 After weighing finally had a trip to the bathroom. More to come, if you get my drift! 😁
08/16 122.5 After I had some “brunch” yesterday I learned that our friends were treating us to dinner. Had I known that was the plan, I would have had only a small snack. I ate a little and ended up with a belly ache all evening. Need more water and more time in the bathroom! Got some groceries so I/we can eat at home.
08/17 121.5 Back to my normal eating. OMAD El Pollo Loco chicken leg and thigh with broccoli x2 and butter. A handful of Mac’s pork Cracklins in the evening and over 5 quarts of water during the day.
08/18 120.5 OMAD Quick Chili over lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
08/19 120.5 Lovely couple from the Philippines invited us for dinner yesterday. It was delicious but very carby. Noodles, rice, egg rolls, beef skewers.7 -

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...
08/17 - 137.2 lbs: nice to still be here. Played in the sun 3 hours today. I’m beat and looking forward to doing it again tomorrow. If I can eat well tonight, I think I’ll see it on the scale tomorrow.
08/18 - 136.8 lbs: feeling pretty exhausted this afternoon after another 3 hours playing in the sun. Came home and cleaned a bunch in the yard, probably not the best idea. Going to try to eat well tonight, hard to do when I'm so tired, all I want to do is eat and veg out.
08/19 - 137.2 lbs: and up and down and up and down. One thing about this challenge, I have learned the ups and downs are normal and they don't make me as upset as they used to. Just going to keep on keeping on.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
8/17: 200.8 (+/-0)
8/18: 202.6 (+1.8)
8/19: 201.0 (-1.6) had a rough start to my weekend. And trying to get myself back together. This challenge has been a roller coaster for sure. Just as the last few months have been, my weight shows it. With the help of my accountability partner I think I’m figuring it out on what i need to do to get where I want to be. Maybe not by this challenge. But I hope soon.

Ugh, it was to be expected, but still... I'm sure a couple of days of regulated eating will sort this out. But I am annoyed even though it is expected after a boozy party weekend. Also TOM arrived, so maybe that'll balance things a little as well.
No social plans for the next 8 days, so it's gonna be about focus, planning meals and exercise

WTH. I mean I know where it comes from, but still. I didn't think it was gonna be this bad.
No giving up allowed. Back to regular logging today after the long weekend. Started the day with a run, Freeletics and short yoga, so that's good... Until I went out for dinner, had wine and sweets after I got home 😒
On the plus side, my colleague just started keto, so that means we're both gonna stop bringing sweets to work..

Only 4000 steps, LNS, lost count of the snacks. Ah well,new day tomorrow. I feel like I might just have to ge comfortable with this weight, then I can stop feeling guilty about my lack of discipline and commitment. Meh, what a day...

Activity: (Played 1 ½ hours of singles)
8/14 – 175.0 No Exercise today.

8/17 – 175 Drinks with dinner last night. Hoping I can finish out the weekend with a loss but I usually have a

🥘 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. 😣

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.
08/17 129.2 Oh, the torture of waking up to this weigh-in on a Saturday morning with the entire weekend stretching before me! And we're having fried catfish sandwiches tonight. I'll log the best I can and try to stay within calories.
08/18 129.2 Hmmm, the fish fry will catch up to me tomorrow, I'm sure.
08/19 129.2 I'm expecting a bump up any day now, maybe even +2 lbs. I'd like to be wrong about this, but I won't be. Still, regardless of how I officially end the round, round 86 will still stand out as The One Where I Broke Into the 120s.
08/20 129.2 I can't believe it! I've never been so glad to be wrong! I ate pretty poorly over the weekend (donuts, burgers, pizza), but honestly, I always fit that stuff into my week so I don't ever feel deprived. Just had more than usual, or so I thought. I do need to clean up my diet, but it just hasn't been a major priority.

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.

My highest weight was 197# at 5’4”. I’m 48 years old.
I was 189# when I first started keto (1/1/18), and had gotten down to 150# before I let life interrupt me.

Round 86 (my round 4)
8/11 - 158.5 - holding steady with very gradual loss. Last day with mom quiltingjaine here. She flies home tomorrow leaving me with a freezer full of keto meals/entrées.
8/12 - 158 - and then the tummy revolted. And then quiltingjaine & I had a carb-full meal before she left to go home. Been eating some emotions today. Tomorrow it’s gym & sun and clean eating.
8/13 - 158 - glucose was up, but the rest of the numbers are good so far. May not get much sun today, but I’ll still hit the gym & watch my mouth!
8/14 - 157.5 - baby steps. Baby steps. Watched my food & got in a good workout yesterday. Rest day so errands today. And preparing for the next major life change - taking the baby to college.
8/15 - 157 - busy day of packing & loading ahead. 3 busy days ahead! I will be getting in my gym time today though.
8/16 - 157.5 - traveling the next few days, so no scale. Have to own my eating.
8/17 - No Scale - move in day at ISU. Blood numbers are good though. No gym, but we’ll be busy all day.
8/18 - No Scale - driving back to OK after brunch with the kids. Numbers were even better this morning! I’m not going to have my “home scale” until tomorrow, so I’m not weighing until I can use it. Don’t want to stress myself out!
8/19 - No Scale - last day away. I’m exhausted! Exhausted, out of my routine & hungry = donut at car service department. It was everything I wanted it to be, so now that craving has been handled. I’m sure it will show the next couple of days, but I’m not going to dwell. Life as an empty nester has begun. Tomorrow I get back into my routine.9 -

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!

08/16 OoT Back home. Was able to have some leisurely activity during trip, but not sure if it was enough to offset all the wonderful meals. Will weigh in tomorrow am! At this point would be happy to break even for the round!
08/17 131.5 Well so far not breaking even for the round. But only a 0.9 increase while on vacation which is within the range of daily variability with changes in water weight/food retention etc, so not going to worry about the gain, but will focus on the few days left of this round. I have to remember that it it took me 12 years to get to my peak weight, and if I am consistent I can take it off within 12 months! Hit cardio hard this morning with a spin class and then some ab work later so getting back on track for exercise and will see what the scale says tomorrow!
08/18 132.4 Well that is not going in the right direction! Woke up feeling dehydrated and more bloated than normal. Spent time outside weeding like a mad dog in the heat, and just dripped sweat. Had ice water with me while outside (several refills) and tried hard to stay hydrated, but have a slight migraine now (too much sun, not enough water?) so going to take a rest and maybe do some exercise exercise later at home if I feel up to it. Unless a major whoosh materializes at the last minute, looking more and more like this will be the first round where I do not have a loss. In any case, this is a marathon and not a sprint to the finish!
08/19 131.7 Heading back in the right direction! good day for cardio and under calories for the day.

I am still losing rapidly (I should lose about 1.5 lbs a week), so although I am happy that my hard work is paying off I also know at some this will even out with some slow losses eventually.
Had an awesome work out tonight at my strength training class. I am going to be very sore over the next few days and that makes me happy. 😁

Ready for my round 23
OSW 88KG
RSW 66.5 kg (-21.5 kg)
Goal... Less than I started
I gained last round and I have more vacations this round so I need to focus.
08/11 65.9 kg and now to get back to my holiday maintenance of 65. Preferably before Thursday when I have 2 more nights away and little control over food available.
08/12 65.05kg so pretty much back at my holiday maintenance.
08/13 65.1kg and keeping it good. Not expecting to lose until I go home next round. Maintenance is fine for the holiday.
08/14 65.05 maintaining. Got another mini break coming up tomorrow and then back to lake house on Saturday
08/15 64.9 kg...... A loss! I'm away for the next 2 nights including wedding anniversary tomorrow. I'll be as good as I can be with little control over the food available.
08/16 DNW as away
08/17 DNW as away
08/18 65.6kg which is pretty good as I didn't keep an eye on calories just kept Keto. Stayed at an off-grid organic permaculture place and ate the best salad ever! Also drank some wine for the 1st time this year to celebrate anniversary.
There were monkeys in my garden this morning which is not common!
08/19 65.0kg back to here again.
08/20 64.95 kg which is ok. A loss for the round which cancels last rounds gain. Looking forward to losing next round!

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:
08/16 392.6 Another 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:
08/17 388.4
08/18 389.4 I stayed in the 380’s today! Hopefully I can stick it tomorrow. I had a lot of salt today and not enough water. The good thing is I have tomorrow to drink my normal water quota. It is normal for me not to get in enough water on the weekends. After 2 weeks of gains at WW I finally lost yesterday, and it was my 2nd week staying for the meeting! It was a very good meeting -- just what I needed. I got my 7000-step goal 7 days in a row this week! And today over 10,000 steps with a DVD and some cleaning! I am afraid to increase step goal. I am going to leave it at 7000 for a while. This is a 1st. Yesterday and today I did a Leslie Sasone dvd. I am getting back on track…yeah!! I got some more de-cluttering done this weekend. Next weekend I am going on a short weekend trip with friends. So I need to plan well. Have a good week MFP friends! :flowerforyou:
08/19 387.6 Almost at goal for this challenge! Got step goal in today and another blue dot day.
08/20 <<<Round 86 goal weight: 387 >>>
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:Round 64 - SW 373.4 EW 369 (-4.4)

Goal: Improve Sleep - duration of 7hrs and score above 80.
8/11 200.9 lbs 6h18m/79/11:38pm - blew my calories on Friday night, so this isn't unexpected. It's also not permanent. Look out, One-derland, your girl is coming for ya....
8/12 199.7 lbs 6h4m/80/10:51pm BUSY day, but had good energy throughout. Back below 200 and sleep score at 80, so I'm starting my Monday right.
8/13 199.0 lbs 5h47m/73/10:52pm Sleep still not optimal, and feeling sore & run down. Pleased with the continued losses on the scale, tho.
8/14 200.5 lbs 4h39m/70/11:16pm So sore - muscles probably retaining water - and my feet & ankles are a little swollen; wish I'd been able to get to Zumba last night. Busy day at work, tho... will get to Combat tonight. Not sweating the gain today. We'll see again tomorrow.
8/15 199.9 lbs 4h51m/69/10:38pm Combat last night - dragging my way through it. Feeling completely worn down & mood is suffering, too. Not making goal this round.....
8/16 199.9 lbs 7h34m/91/9:42pm Five more nights of sleep like this and I think I'll feel pretty good! Had a difficult day... was over-emotional and blew out my calories. Hope today gets me back on track.
8/17 200.5 lbs 7h13m/86/11:08pm Not unexpected after Thursday's calorie blow out, but good to have slept well. Hoping to clear the funk today - another concert tonight, so I have to bank cals & carbs.
8/18 200.3 lbs 6h13m/73/12:53am Way over cals yesterday, so this was unexpected. Gonna kill it in combat today and try to rectify the slide.
8/19 199.8 lbs 5h1m/66/11:39pm Didn't get to Combat; ended up picking up a new foster instead. 🐾 The 1st night with a new dog is always challenging, but Cecil did remarkably well. I stayed within cals & macros, so I'll call it a win.
8/20 198.8 lbs 5h8m/64/10:44pm Very poor performance this round. Not enough sleep, clearly not enough cardio. Frustrated... but not giving up. Just need to step up.

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.
