Day/Weight/Comment
09/10 – 187.4 – Up to start, but no surprise. Yesterday was exhausting, and I didn’t make the best food choices. Did much better today. Walked to the lake with my grandson after school, delighting in the easy conversation and the beauty of the late summer meadow. Now I’ve got the kettle on for some herb tea and will grade a few more assignments after I post this. Hope to get enough done that I can go down to the beach for a bit tomorrow.
09/11 – 186.0 – That looks better. Somber morning, but I did get to the beach after class. Didn’t get much walking in, but I had a lovely lunch with my mom, sister, and daughter.
09/12 – 185.2 – Another nice drop. I suppose it’s the rest of the water gain from earlier in the week. No time to walk before the rain started, but I logged and met my calorie goal.
09/13 – 184.4 – Surprised to see another drop, but I did have a pretty big water drop in the first few days after my long vacation in June. During that trip, I got a lot of extra exercise most days to offset the extra calories. After shedding retained water, it looked like I might even have lost a bit during my 3 ½ weeks away. This past vacation wasn’t very active, but I tried to keep an eye on portion sizes and balance the indulgences with some lighter meals. And it appears to have worked! It’s reassuring to see that I can maintain some good habits and accountability even during a break from logging and daily weighing. That’s really motivating!
09/14 – DNW
09/15 – DNW
09/16 – 186.0 – Post-road trip bounce. I had a great weekend visiting my son and celebrating his birthday. I can easily pass on most cakes, but my daughter-in-law is a fantastic baker. Her wonderfully moist, subtly spiced carrot cake with cream cheese frosting was worth every calorie! Didn’t bother trying to figure out calories or log, but I’m back in my own kitchen and back to the routine today.
09/17 – 186.0 – Started out okay yesterday, but had to grab a deli sandwich for dinner. Covering a colleague’s classes in addition to my own, so no time to walk.
09/18 – 187.2 – Not surprising. Late dinner at the diner last night after an evening meeting. It didn’t help that I’d skimped on lunch to attend a workshop, so I was ravenous by the time my dinner arrived. Although I put aside half of my enormous sandwich, I ate the pickle, cole slaw, and all of the fries.
09/19 – 186.4 – Another busy day with a take-out lunch yesterday, but at least I got in a nice long walk.

Not my best round – down just 0.2 lbs – but not my worst. September’s been exceptionally busy, so I’m having a tough time adjusting to my fall schedule and settling into a routine with meals, logging, and exercise. On to the next round!

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 83 (my round 1) SW - 165.5, AW - 163.25
Round 84 (my round 2) SW - 160, AW - 161.2
Round 85 (my round 3) SW - 159.5, AW - 158.75
Round 86 (my round 4) SW - 158.5, AW - 157.64
Round 87 (my round 5) SW - 157.5, AW - 157.25
Round 88 (my round 6) SW - 157, AW - 156.875

Round 89 (my round 7)
9/10 - 155.5 - after 2 days of not weighing, it’s nice to see this drop. My SO thinks I’m not eating because I’m basically just eating OMAD. I’m eating when I’m hungry, just not as much as I used to and not giving in to all of the cravings. Craving fish, so that’s what’s coming out of the freezer for today.
9/11 (work) - 155.5 - better eating yesterday, better numbers today. Time to get ready for work!
9/12 (work) - 155.5 - full disclosure: the case manager at work has taffy & tootsie rolls in her office for all. I licked a piece of black licorice taffy & almost ate it, but threw it away instead. It was delicious! 😢 Weight steady, blood numbers better. More work today.
9/13 (work) - 155 - TGIF. I’m exhausted. Ready to crash tonight and it’s only 5am.
9/14 - 154 - Let me just say WOW! Wasn’t expecting that!! I’ve been trying to be super good the last 3 days, but the stress of work makes it harder. Actually went to the cafeteria with a friend yesterday & chose not to get anything, despite the temptations. I feel like I’m making progress mentally too.
9/15 - DNW - forgot my scale & ate candy corn yesterday 🤦🏼‍♀️ OMAD today, and a flour tortilla. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Must. Stay. Strong.
9/16 - DNW - numbers are reflecting my shortcomings. Staying straight today. I’m disappointed in myself. I need to be stronger than my cravings.
9/17 - 157 - this is what happens when you make bad choices. I knew it was coming, but that doesn’t make it easier to see. Just keep swimming! More water the rest of the time.
9/18 (work) - 158 - what a disappointing start to the day. Need to get my gut moving. Need to stop trying to eat my emotions away. This isn’t going to be a good round for me.
9/19 (work) - 157 - not my best round, but at least I made a step back down. I can do this. Start fresh tomorrow.
AW - 155.9375

9/19 176 (-.5) This was surprising!

I think you have your rounds mislabeled as End Weight but should be Starting Weight. 6# is a phenomenal loss!! Congratulations!

09/10- 209.2: Starting a new journey today to really take care of myself. Hoping to see results in these next 10 days!
09/11- 208.8: It's a baby loss, but I'll take it! Definitely ate well yesterday and drank a lot of water and went for a walk with my dog. Had a little rice with my dinner last night, so that could have messed me up or all the water.
09/12- 208: Happy that my eating choices are working for me. I didn't want to push myself to go to the gym these past couple days while starting, but think I will go today. Also upped my water and had 80oz yesterday Trying to stay consistent and keep track of everything.
09/13- 207: Woot!
09/14- 206.6: This made me so happy!
09/15- DNW
09/16- DNW
09/17- 207.8: I knew I was going to go back up, but at least it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I went to a BBQ this weekend and saw some friends I haven't seen in a long time. I'm mad at myself for giving in and eating crappy this weekend. I decided not to be too strict yesterday after work because I was so tired and had no time to prep anything. I'm back on it today slowly. Just worried about tomorrow because I have a Yelp event and they're going to be doing a rice eating contest. I don't need to participate and I prob won't, but I mean free rice lol.

09/18- 207.4: Better than going up! Stayed in my calorie goal and ate fairly healthy. I didn't really have any veggies yesterday so that could be holding me back a bit. I also didn't go to the gym or walk like I wanted, but I'm going after work today since I have to stay in the area for the Yelp event tonight. Not sure what they will be feeding us, but I'll definitely be paying attention. If I hadn't had my set backs this weekend I could have definitely reached my challenge goal by tomorrow, but for now I'm just happy to be going down from what I've gotten to lately.

09/19- 207: Yelp Event was a blast! It was teppan style, like Tokyo Wako so they cooked meats and veggies in front of us including fried rice and we got a beer and some fun apps including a tasty sushi doughnut. I had a little of everything, but only a few bites of the fried rice and saved the rest of my entree. So happy that even after eating that and having a beer I went down. I did also manage to get in the gym before the event and got a good workout in

This is my 2nd round. Finished the last round poorly purely due to TOM, cake and wine.
Determined this time. Id love to get as close as possible to 140 this round.

10th Sept: 142.75. Happy with this drop from yesterdays high. Ate within calories, almost hit macros, and walked the dog when son was training so hit 13k steps.
11th Sept: 140.25. THRILLED with this drop, considering the weekend I've had last weekend. Hit 16k steps last night and did a piloxing class. I cannot wait to see the 130's on the scales. I know it'll fluctuate up and down but I cant help even imagining seeing 13x on the scales this round. Rest day today. Son has match again tonight, I'll still him my10k steps.
12th Sept: 139.75. Absolutely buzzing off my head. Haven't been here in 6 years. No exercise yesterday as son had match. Got 9k steps. Ate within calories. Planning on a run in the woods with the dogs tonight. Have chicken and spuds in the slow cooker for dinner tonight.
13th Sept: 140.75. No reason for the increase, just one of those things. Stayed within calories. Didn't go running. Was absolutely shattered, went to bed at 8:15pm and slept till 6:20am. Feel great this morning. Have piloxing tonight. Note to self: Don't do chicken in a slow cooker - fell to absolute pieces and I couldn't decipher meat from bones from skin!!
14th Sept: 139.25 yes!!
15th Sept: 140.5.
16th Sept: 143.5 Was expecting this. Was at a BBQ yesterday and had burgers, beer and cake! Was VERY uncomfortable for the night, I felt so full. Only got 5k steps in too. Back on the wagon today. Have walk planned with the dogs tonight. Drinking all the water today...hoping to get back down to normalish weight by Wednesday.
17th Sept: 142.5. Pulling it back slowly from the carnage that was the weekend. Good day yesterday. Ran the woods with the dogs in the rain. Very refreshing. On track for a good day today too. Have piloxing class tonight.
18th Sept: 142.5. Was expecting a bit of a drop so I'm disappointed with this. Although I had a late piloxing class followed by a late omelette, and was up at 4am for work and weighed myself. Usually weigh around 6:30am. Would all these things make a difference? Today will be another on track day, rest day but will still hit my 10k steps. Bed early tonight for sure!
19th Sept: 140.25. Happy with this drop. Was having bowel troubles - hadn't gone in 5 days. All ok this morning.


-2.5lbs in this round. Very happy with this. Aim to get more daily weights in the 130's in round 90.

I hear you. While I've never gone 5 days without going, I usually end up going about every 2-4 days. I don't like that.... I want to be able to go everyday.
