As you can see the last 5 rounds have been horrible for me. I have had family issues, birthdays, TOM, and all 5 of my kids in 5 different schools getting back into routines the last couple of rounds. This will be the first round we haven't had to go out of town, deal with some crazy situation, or worry about what is going to happen tomorrow. We have finally calmed down a bit and I am ready to start on the last 6-7 pounds. I would like to drop my 10 day average by 2 pounds and see 142, maybe even 141 a couple of times on the scale. Good luck everyone!
Round 85: 143.7 - 139.6 down 4.1 Avg 142.35
Round 86: 139.6 - 148.2 up 8.6 Avg 144.08
Round 87: 148.2 - 143.6 down 4.6 Avg 143.73
Round 88: 143.6 - 147.0 up 3.4 Avg 145.84
Round 89: 147.0 - 143.7 down 3.3 Avg 144.99
09/20 - 142.8 nice drop to start the new round. I am officially back to where I was in round 85 before my 4 round diet break. So I’m happy with my progress and I know that I can do maintenance once I get down to where I need to be.
09/21 - 143.7 good day, jumped up because of the sodium and carbs I am sure. We took out youngest to her favorite restaurant for a surprise birthday dinner. Chinese is always filled with a couple of extra carbs than what I would normally eat. I tried to stay away from the fried rice and had grilled shrimp instead of the other meats, but I did have 2 beers.
09/22 -143.7 The birthday party was a success, but drank a little to much in celebration. Food was on point and didn't over do it at all. Will see a jump up tomorrow because of the liquor I am sure.
09/23 -145.4 way lower than the last couple of Monday's and knew I would have a jump up due to my alcohol intake in Saturday. It always hits me 2 days later. Water and clean eating today. Looking forward to having some good drops this round and getting back to where I was.
09/24 -144.5 and we continue the roller coaster down. Hopefully I will be back to my starting weight by tomorrow and then see some progress. Was on track all day and should be under calories today. So far I have been drinking my water and doing what I need to do.
09/25 - 140.9 I don't believe this is a true weight. I am sure it will bounce up tomorrow. I only ate about 600 calories yesterday. We had some unexpected issues come up last night and I never got around to eating anything for dinner. So I pretty much did a 24 hour fast unintentionally. I also may have been a little dehydrated this morning to because I woke up extremely thirsty. I would love it if it stayed here, but I doubt it will. I will eventually get back to this weight though.
09/26 - 142.0 only a 1.1 pound gain. I will take this is as a win. I was super hungry all day yesterday, but did not give in. I stayed at my calories allotted and did not go over. I am on track for today and hopefully I will hit my September goal of 141 tomorrow. I'm doing way better this round and am happy with my progress so far. Hopefully the last couple of weigh-ins will be nice to me to finish strong.
09/27 - 142.0 still happy. Would have been a little happier with some movement down, but I am ok with staying here. Maybe tomorrow I will see that 141.xxx. I was under calories the last 3 days and my day is planned today. So as long as nothing crazy happens I should be ok.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/20: 225.6 (-1.0)/19.1 (-0.1). This is a great start, particularly given that I was likely right at about maintenance in calories last night. Food quality was good, though. IT'S THE WEEKEND... and instead of going into it hopeful (and a little blind), I'm going to think through a plan. Right now. Gym tonight after work, basketball tomorrow... I don't think I can go to the gym on Sunday, because I'll be trying to fix my car with my dad and doing a couple of things to continue to make my house liveable. Dinner tonight should be light/easy; maybe a lettuce wrap from Cook's Tortas. I'm not sure about tomorrow night (what's happening), but it will probably involve more housework stuff (and, annoyingly, cleaning everything because my parents are coming over on Sunday). Sunday my parents will be here, and my wife wants to go wine-tasting with them. I can focus on reds while I'm there, and I'll try to budget some calories for that. Dinner is almost always the problem. I need to track all day, have my "budget" before I eat, and figure out how the heck to stay within that budget. Work is feeling better; rather than feeling so overwhelmed, I have a bit of a plan, and I'm getting support from my supervisor/management team.
9/21: 223.6 (-2.0)/18.9 (-0.2). So far, so good. Stuck to my plan yesterday. Went with a lettuce wrap instead of bread. Lifted weights and did some HIIT on the elliptical. Basketball is happening this morning, then doing some painting/housework in the afternoon. I'm not sure what's happening for dinner, but I'm feeling focused.
9/22: 223.4 (-0.2)/18.9 (0.0). Basketball yesterday was better than it was a couple of weeks before. My shot was a little off, but I was able to move around better than I could two weeks ago. I finished painting another one of the bedrooms in my house as well. Dinner was slightly out of control, but I'm pretty sure I stayed well within calories (ate back maybe half of my exercise calories). Still feeling focused. My wife and I are eating at home tonight, so I'm expecting my weigh-in tomorrow to be... well... super boring
9/23: 225.0 (+1.6)/19.0 (+0.1). I got a little bit squirrelly last night with dinner (and after); it was more about quality (carb-heavy) than quantity. I'm also recognizing the need for a food scale (my old one broke a long time ago), especially when it's difficult to determine the number of servings in whatever I might be making (and that is fixed in a couple of mouse-clicks). I lifted weights in the morning and had a generally very busy day. I'm not feeling discouraged at all. From Friday morning to Monday morning I actually dropped 0.6 lbs, even with the big gain this morning. I think I have my routine at the gym as well - weights only on Friday and Sunday, weights and HIIT on Wednesdays, and basketball on Saturdays. If I'm feeling particularly good on a Sunday I'll do cardio, but basketball is pretty intense, and I'm often very sore after.
9/24: 225.8 (+0.8)/19.1 (+0.1). I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but I'm not going to freak out about it. I ate within calories last night, although dinner was sketchy (I'm definitely eating out too much). My food scale should be here tomorrow, so that should help. Ready for some TMI? The BM fairy hasn't visited in a while. I think this weigh-in is attributable to one thing: I'm probably full of $#!+. I'll just keep plugging away and see what happens.
9/25: 224.2 (-1.6)/18.9 (-0.2). Better. I ate within calories last night. I have a little bit of a headache this morning. I'm going to the gym tonight with my wife; I'll be lifting weights and doing HIIT. I'm feeling a Chipotle craving for lunch today (which happens a lot on gym days, it seems). Their carne asada (it's NOT their steak; it's different) is DELICIOUS, and it makes it easy for me to stay on track. My food scale showed up yesterday, though I did not need to use it last night.
9/26: 223.8 (-0.4)/18.9 (0.0). I'm feeling sick today. It started last night, and I partook in some "comfort food" that I likely would have not had otherwise. Still, I think I was "close" regarding my calories. I did not make it to the gym. I'm at work today, and I'm going to try to get to the gym tonight, even though I'm still feeling sick. I'll probably only lift weights.
9/27: 223.4 (-0.4)/18.9 (0.0). I'm feeling a little bit better today, so I decided to finish out my week at work. There are a couple of things I noticed this morning that let me know I'm "doing things right" right now. I was over in calories last night (had a couple of treats), but I actively limited my intake (portion control). A friend of mine at work gave me some great advice yesterday as I was eating something I did not really want, "You know you can throw that away, right? Or just eat the part of it you like?" My brain almost exploded. Mindless eating is my enemy, as is the voice in the back of my head (I love you Mom!) rewarding me for finishing my SECOND plate. Something changed this morning. I feel like Neo when he really started to understand the Matrix. I did not go to the gym last night (because I felt sick), but I'm going to try again today. A little NSV - I noticed that I'm getting a bit of muscle definition back in my arms/shoulders/chest.

Round 89 SW 209.2 EW 207 (-2.2)
09/20- 206: Woohoo! So thankful to be going down! I had a dentist apt yesterday for a filling and my teeth are still sensitive to everything, so we will see how that goes. I will be going to Greek Fest tonight and hopefully the LA Fair tomorrow with my boyfriend. I'm getting pretty good at being good, just hope I don't mess up.

09/23- 208.2: Yeah I messed up. My weight stayed the same for Saturday which was great and then that day I went to my boyfriends. Didn't really eat much or anything bad and even had a healthy meal at his house. We went to the fair that night and I had a beer, some wine, and a couple small fried things. The following day at his house I had a healthy breakfast and we did a lot of walking. I might have messed up during dinner at my house last night. I'm so mad because I eat healthy all week and really push myself, but as soon as it's the weekend it turns into cheat days and "it's ok you've been working so hard." No! I want to stop doing that. I'm sick of working hard all week and then gaining it all back over the weekend. I'm more than my starting weight for this round and I really feel so defeated when this happens. Think I just have to cut back on going out or feeling pressured into having foods I shouldn't
09/24- 206.2: Woohoo, going back down! So happy I pushed myself yesterday. Ate healthy all day, made some baked salmon with veggies for dinner and went to the gym last night. Didn't have as much water as I wanted to, but still had a decent amount. I also gave my bf crap and told him no more cheat days and how I can't keep falling off the wagon every time, so he's on board. And we've also been pushing each other to go to the gym, so I'm really thankful for that. Hope to keep this going
09/25- 206.2: No loss, but no gain so I got that going for me. Thinking it might have to do with me having shake and bake chicken legs (drumsticks) last night with mashed cauliflower from Trader Joe's and some crab salad. I didn't have time to cook last night, so I jumped at the opportunity of my mom cooking. I love shake and bake, but I should have taken the time to make something myself and a little healthier. I did get in the gym again last night and pushed myself. Also did some strength along with cardio, so let's hope my arms don't hate me today. Need to up my water intake still and keep pushing.
09/26- 206: I feel like I'm starting to get stuck and was hoping to see a little more progress. Healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner. For dinner I made shrimp scampi with steamed veggies. I think I messed up a little when I got home I was so hungry I started munching on some rice I saw on the stove my mom made. A couple harmless bites turned into a few bites
I also decided not to go to the gym last night because I wanted a rest day and was hoping to use that time to play video games with my boyfriend since he was home and had a day off. H ended up knocking out and it got too late for me to go, but I'll be going again today. Also starting off strong with drinking water and then the rest of the day it's like I forget. I doubt I'll reach my Challenge Goal Weight, but hoping to at least leave 206.
09/27- 205.6: Woohoo! F You 206! It's like I'm moon walking towards my goal, but in baby step moon walks lol. I baked salmon and veggies for dinner again and I feel like I always lose weight after having salmon. I got ready to go to the gym last night and was about to walk out the door and felt like crap. I rushed to the bathroom and decided not to go to the gym. Even if I pushed myself to go while feeling not so good I would have gotten 10 mins of cycling in and then peaced out. I do plan to go today, I don't want to make a habit of not going. Also annoyed with my bf, he was giving me crap about not going and that just put me in a sour mood. I know he means well, but I'm annoyed. And he will prob ruin all my progress this weekend, but I'm going to try my best.

Great job @tinabambina29 I love reading your posts. I'll try it next cycle. Have a great day!6 -
Round 90 – Sept.20 to Sept.30
Female, 5’, 66 years. Goals – finish calorie log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW – 162.6, GW – 160.8, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Fell off the recording wagon by trying to do it later in the day, also one day of travel - so tracked most calories but did not record. Ended with 162.6 – up .4 from the last round but did see some 161 during the round so I’m hopeful of better things for this one.
Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 – 162.4
09/21 – 162 – Warmup exercises in morning and emptying compost bin in the afternoon. Logged all calories - even the not so good overdoing chocolate almond spread. Nice surprise there as I was still within cals. because my breakfast and lunch were low. No LNS. Trying to get more protein earlier in the day so I’m not so hungry in the evening. Finally have a sunny day here so planning lots of outside work.
09/22 – 162.4
09/23 – 161.8
09/24 – 162 – Some LNS last night but not high fat so hoping it doesn’t show up tomorrow. Nice day today so off to do work outside.
09/25 – 162.2 – Lots of work outside yesterday, only fruit (prune plums) for LNS. Today is bringing in houseplants that have been outside for the summer and doing more composting and clearing off the garden. Risk of frost and some rainy days forecast so trying to do the max today.
09/26 – 162.4
09/27 – 161.8 – No LNS last night though was tempted. Supper was a bit high calorie because had perogies. Kept my portion small as they don’t look like much but calorie-wise they are a lot.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 90 (round 22 for me ) I'm in for another round, tomorrow I will be back home and weighing in on my own scales! After a brilliant holiday. Just 4 weeks to go before our cheeky pre-Brexit break on The Algarve, must get these extra ponds off for then !
Female age 61 5' 4”
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Round goal – lose holiday gain,; be mindful of what I eat & drink and keep walking.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 137.6 - 13.7 miles walked yesterday. Catch the plane home this evening, weigh in on my own scales tomorrow.
09/21 137.2 – 8.55 miles walked yesterday, arrived back home at 3.30 am.; very minimal sleep & low quality dozing on the 'plane. Have 4 weeks to get rid of this holiday weight before we fly off for our next holiday! New day today!
09/22 135.6 – yes! That's what happens to holiday weight when I get back home & stop having a glass of wine with every meal!! 10 miles walked yesterday including 3 hours of intense dancing last night – brilliant!
09/23 134.8 – yes! another half a pound off. 5.5 miles walked yesterday & a really good food day
09/24 133.6 – so pleased the holiday weight is coming off quickly. 8.55 miles walked yesterday.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 - 221.8
09/21 - DNW
09/22 - 223.6- I suck at weekends
09/23 - 223.4 - over 3000 mgs of sodium on Friday and Sunday. I did get 2 workouts in but my weekend eating needs to get in check. I've started another challenge and the weigh-ins are on Mondays. Hopefully this will help, although my birthday weekend is coming up.....
09/24 - 221.6 - whew...
09/25 - 221.4 - Hoping to be 220 by the end of these 10 days. I think I'm making my goals too lofty. On the other hand, it's good to dream
09/26 - 219.8 - Not bad! If I can maintain under 220 past this weekend (my b-day weekend) I'll be happy!
My daughter is 5 today and she wants to go to Popeyes lol
09/27 - 223.6 - I totally saw this one coming. Yesterday they threw a little party for me at work (my bday is tomorrow and one of the managers is away today) so there was samosas and cake and then we went to Popeye's for my daughter's bday dinner (I don't say no, I just try to keep my cals close to my macros). It was a high sodium day and I was too full to exercise after. I'm okay with all of it because we had a good time. Planning a quick HIIT workout this eve and a lunch walk to keep myself active.

@musicsax Thanks for your concern. I understand this can be a bit confusing. I actually saw my Dr. this week who is not just encouraging, but pushing for the low carb diet I am following. On this diet it is not actually the calories that I count, but CICO does matter & make a difference so I am glad that mfp shows all my numbers to me when I log, not just my carbs.
I have asked for 5% carbs, 25% protein & 70% fat on my logging stats & mfp has me at 1277 calories & 20-25 g of carbs daily. I have been eating over carbs & over cals too much lately. The drop in my sugar is a good thing as my morning fast numbers are still too high (but not real bad like they used to be before my weight loss!) It is always late at night, long after my last meal that my sugar drops. My doctor has me writing all the blood checks down because if the sugar drops are too consistent, more of my medication will be reduced or taken away. They have already removed 4 pills from my schedule and that is a huge plus. These drops may mean another reduction and that would be phenomenal. Of course, I have to try to monitor this closely and make sure that the carbs I am eating are spread out more evenly between my meals (not all in one meal). If I'm doing it all well and it continues to drop that is when my dr. will make the move to adjust my meds (for the better). I agree that its a scary process but the only way to know its too much meds for me at this time is to see it dropping too much or too often. I am being very careful. I mention this process in my posts because I am sharing that the ravenous hunger that strikes very suddenly with the shakes & weakness are signs that its dropping too low & I should take my glucose test. The hunger is (quickly) so profuse I can completely blow my diet in just 5 minutes of panic eating. This is a disadvantage for me and one that I'm working on by spreading out my carbs. I am also working hard to handle it better when it happens (no uncontrollable stuffing my face with food allowed!) Sometimes that pesky little scale goes up and I want everyone to know that its not always that I couldn't resist a temptation or that I overate that day. When it is overeating, or temptation, I am always honest about that type of weight gain.
When I started my low carb diet in 2018 my glucose numbers on fasting were running over 500 every day. That was when the dr. approved me for a low carb diet which is perfect for T2D. Just like my weight loss, this also is just another process I am going through. So far, my weight, my T2D and my thyroid have all improved. Again, I thank you for caring. It is scary but I feel confident that I got this. Thanks for following my journey. I truly appreciate all ideas, comments & input.
Thanks for sharing, I am reassured now, it would be fantastic if you could reduce the meds xx3 -
Hello all. Back for more fun.

09/20 200.0 (+4.4)/ 29.7% (+0.6%) well I know I didn’t make the best food choices the past few days but this is eye opening and it’s time to step it up. Can’t have more days like this. My goal for R90 has been updated to reflect this gain

09/23 198.8 (-1.2)/ 29.1% (-.6%) didn’t weigh in this weekend, I was gone on vacation. But not disappointed by the numbers today. Back on track and ready to go. Not going to let my accountability partners down.
09/24 196.0 (-2.8)/ 28.8% (-.3%) sometimes all you need is a rough few days to kick you back into gear.
09/25 196.5 (+.5)/ 29.0% (+.2%) busy busy day. Got started early so my normal time to weigh in won’t happen so weighed in a little early and have had breakfast, water, and worked out. Not upset. Gonna keep pushing.
09/26 196.4 (-.1)/ 28.9%(-.1%) not too bad considering I think I went over board at dinner last night for my daughters birthday. No gym this morning but hopefully later today I can find some energy
09/27 196.2 (-.2)/ 28.8% (-.1%) yesterday was all over the place. I didn’t make it to the gym till 10 pm and I had zero motivation to be there. Had a lot of stressers in my life yesterday and it mentally and physically exhausted me. Today is a new day and I’m feeling better. Let’s hope for a good weekend and good end to this round.

I love you ?electrolytes. I felt 80% of my normal yesterday. Got a few things accomplished. I did not reach 128 ozs of water yesterday, because I was running more errands. Today, I will.
9/21 - 185.2 - IF/21hrs/Meal times~5pm, 7pm. 18g carbs. Did not drink enough water yesterday, but I managed to get in all of my electrolytes. Took a "littles" walk with my Great Niece ? She likes to walk and I could walk her speed without too much difficulty. My hip joints and muscles are still somewhat stiff and painful, but I've got to move! Using a heating pad at night has been beneficial. Ketones detected today. Edging my way back into ketosis.
9/22 - 185.6? (183.6?) - Every once in a while my scale fuctuates wildly. I'll go with the high number. I didn't sleep that well last night and sipped water throughout. IF/19.5hrs. Meal times~ 2:30, 8pm. 19g carbs. Going to visit 2 of the Grands today at Carb Central. Lol. Thats what I'm going to start calling their home.
9/23 - 185.2 - IF/18hrs. Meal times~ 2pm, 7:30. 33g carbs, 21g net carbs. Only vegetable carbs, cabbage and squash.
9/24 - 185.6 - IF/19.5hrs. Meal times~ 3pm, 6:30. 27g carbs, 19g net carbs. I think I may weigh a little less than this, but I can never wait out my body processes 😯 before water and coffee in the morning.
9/25 - 184.6 - IF/20hrs. Meal times~ 2:30, 6:30. 32g carbs, 25g net carbs. Time to clean up the flower bed, outdoor flower pots😢 and plant some spring bulbs. The sun was so intense midsummer that even the sun loving flowers growth was stunted. Now they are flourishing. Between the heat and the deer eating my plants and flowers, it's a wonder there's anything left out there.
9/26 - Now for a bit of entertainment. 181.8😲~ 182.8😳~ 179.8😌~ 181.9😔~ 184😏✔ Scale games this morning. IF/21hrs. Meal times~ 3:30, 7:30. 20g carbs. Planting some daffodil bulbs in a pot today. I've always planted bulbs in the ground, so I don't know how that will work for me. I dug them up two months ago from my front "weed beds" lol. Thats all that grows there, because the "soil" is dirt. Strength training today. My shoulders are in poor condition.

R90 SW: 213.0 ~ GW: 209.0
R2 Goals: add weight training 2-4 of 10 days, keep preparing most meals and stay consistent!
9/20: 213.0 - Not enough sleep, but feel a bit better. Walked a few times yesterday and will try for same today.
9/21: 212.0 – Nicely surprised after a high cal dinner and LNS yesterday! Got in plenty of movement today, though most of it was cleaning, lol. My first weekend (Fri / Sat) testing high cal/carb stacking so fingers crossed all goes well. Results tomorrow and Monday!
9/22: 213.8 - Obviously, still got some tweaking to do, lol .. Friday was nutritious and filling, but yesterday was pure tasty and empty!! (on top of little sleep and a drink both nights). But overall, quite happy w/ my progress the past 10 days ("restarted" @ 221.0 on 9/12/19). Having a great time this weekend with no regrets! Will try again w/ better choices in another 7-10 Days. Onwards and downwards!
9/23: DNW - Day 1 of 100 Days not starting well at all!! After an emotional break this morning, all I want to do is eat my feelings!! Eyeballing the Halloween candy everywhere, I've only been able to resist bingeing by sitting on my hands and keeping it liquid all day! Hoping some leftover lamb and potatoes for dinner, with MAYbe a small dessert will be enough to pacify.
9/24: 214.8
9/25: 214.2
9/26: 213.9
9/27: 213.4 - STILLLLL in recovery from last weekend's gain. Not sure if excessive work hours and interrupted sleep has been a factor the past few days, but it'll be a long time before I try that again!

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/20--208.5 Lazy day yesterday. Ate some snacks when I really wasn't hungry. Gym tonight.
9/21--207.4 Weighed twice to make sure, I weighed in about 2 hours later than normal. Did not go to the gym yesterday because I was so exhausted. Going out with a friend today to a food allergy fair and then going out to eat.
9/22--208.1 The food allergy fair was great yesterday there were a lot of foods to try out and I found a couple of new foods to eat. Did a lot of walking yesterday and hardly drank any water. Strength coach today.
9/23--208.5 Uptick is definitely from all of the foods I tried at the fair 2 days ago. It also didn't help that I did some extra snacking yesterday. Great workout yesterday.
9/24--208.5 Stopped myself from having the 2nd snack last night...I wasn't even hungry. Also, I haven't run in over 5 months since I hurt my hip and then hurt my ankle. The last couple of weeks I've been antsy to get back into running, but I was worried about ankle since it's still a little sore every so often. Well, last night I said I'm going to go for a run and test my ankle out, so I started up again with W1D1 of C25K so that I could take it slow. It felt great to get back out running and there were no issues with the ankle and I've already planned a 5k run in November.
9/25--207.6 Only one snack yesterday, so that was great. Strength coach tonight.
9/26--208.1 Great workout yesterday and only had one snack last night. Going for a run tonight as long as the rain holds up.
9/27--207.6 Went to the gym before work this morning, it was great. I even wore a pair of workout tights that I had packed away since they had gotten tight on me. This morning I pulled them out and they fit even though I am 20lbs heavier than the last time I could fit into them...the weightlifting is really changing my body shape. So even though the scale is not going down as quickly as I would hope, my body is definitely changing.

2) Walk or exercise 30+ minutes
3) Stay on top of assignment grading!!!
Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 – 185.8 – Little drop to start, despite the Chinese food I had last night. But here we are at the beginning of another weekend. How many calories in a poké bowl?
09/21 – 184.6 – Happy to see a drop, but I slept in this morning, so that may account for some off it. Apple festival with the grandkids this afternoon. Drinks and dinner with friends this evening. A bit over on calories but got in a 45 minute walk at the park.
09/22 – 184.6 – Holding steady. Gorgeous weather for the last day of summer! Dinner guests this evening, but logging and maintaining a deficit is easier when I can control the menu and portion sizes.
09/23 – 183.4 – Nice drop and, surprisingly, a new low. My younger son and his fiancé stopped by for a couple of days on their way home from a business trip, so we wound up doing a big family dinner and sitting around the fire pit until late last night. Restaurant lunch and take-out dinner today, so I expect a sodium bounce tomorrow. A busy day at work and I wanted to spend more time with family, so I didn’t cook, log, or walk. But I’ll be back on track tomorrow!
09/24 – 184.0 – There’s the bounce, but it’s not too bad. Exhausting day – 14 hours of teaching, meetings, and workshops - but I managed to stay under my calorie limit and log my food. No walk but I got in almost 9,000 steps. Next up: sleep!
09/25 – 184.0 – Slightly less busy day. Woke up feeling sluggish but determined to meet my goals today. I walked for an hour in the park next to campus and still made it to my afternoon workshop - with 3 minutes to spare. Met my calorie and logging goals. Even got a bit of the neverending grading done!
09/26 – 183.0 – Good to see the last bounce gone. Student conferences all day, but I’m done with classes for another week. Dinner out with my husband, followed by a 35-minute walk around town. Still feeling too full, although I managed to come in under my calorie limit. We’ll see what the scale says tomorrow.
09/27 – 183.0 – TGIF! What a lovely day to be outdoors! Took a nice long walk in the park this morning, unwinding from a busy week. Early dismissal for the grandkids, so we spent the afternoon at the beach splashing through the surf and combing the sand for treasure. Logged and easily stayed below my calorie limit, so the weekend is off to a great start!

** ROUND 90 **
Round # 21 for me
Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 396.4 (-0.4)
09/21 397.0 (+0.6)
09/22 397.6 (+0.6)
09/23 396.6 (-1.0) – I have just not had a good year. I must finish the year strong! I have an appointment Oct 10th with a weight lost specialist for WLS patients. I have an appointment on Oct 3rd with a knee specialist. I need to see a sleep specialist also because I know I have sleep apnea and it is rearing its ugly head again. My therapist came back from maternity leave and we had a good session last Tuesday and I have been doing better ever since. Still doing WW. Was up 10.8 pounds with them and decided to just start the ticker over with them. My PCP prescribe something for me that is stomach and liver friendly that seems to be helping my knees. I hope you all are still rocking things. It is end of month which starts getting hectic for me tomorrow, but I am determined not to drop the ball on ME. I know I may not make goal weight of 389 but at this point I will be happy with losing 4 pounds
09/24 393.8 (-2.8) - At month ends, I will not have much time to chit chat but I am very happy about today’s loss. I did several things right yesterday. We will see on Saturday when I weigh in at WW. One thing I want to share is I have been getting in the bed before midnight 3 nights in a row. This is compared to 1 and 2 o’clock in the morning. I must say I can certainly feel the difference. My goal is to keep this up even on Friday and Saturdays unless I have an event and I am out until midnight.
09/25 393.0 (-0.8)
09/26 391.4 (-1.6) – It has been hectic month/quarter end at work. I have been struggling but making my step and managing my plan so so. I doubt I will lose today. We will see. Staying mindful and focused on my year end goal.
09/27 392.0 (+0.6) Not as bad as I thought. Not perfect. Did not get my steps in. Not enough water. Tomorrow should be better. I weigh in at WW tomorrow. Hopefully I will be down 3+ pounds.

09/29 <<<Round goal weight: 389.8 >>> <<<Year end goal weight: 349.8 >>>
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 348 - 12/31/19 :flowerforyou:

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 90 (round 22 for me ) I'm in for another round, tomorrow I will be back home and weighing in on my own scales! After a brilliant holiday. Just 4 weeks to go before our cheeky pre-Brexit break on The Algarve, must get these extra ponds off for then !
Female age 61 5' 4”
Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Round goal – lose holiday gain,; be mindful of what I eat & drink and keep walking.
Spoiler
Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 137.6 - 13.7 miles walked yesterday. Catch the plane home this evening, weigh in on my own scales tomorrow.
09/21 137.2 – 8.55 miles walked yesterday, arrived back home at 3.30 am.; very minimal sleep & low quality dozing on the 'plane. Have 4 weeks to get rid of this holiday weight before we fly off for our next holiday! New day today!
09/22 135.6 – yes! That's what happens to holiday weight when I get back home & stop having a glass of wine with every meal!! 10 miles walked yesterday including 3 hours of intense dancing last night – brilliant!
09/23 134.8 – yes! another half a pound off. 5.5 miles walked yesterday & a really good food day
09/24 133.6 – so pleased the holiday weight is coming off quickly. 8.55 miles walked yesterday.
09/25 134.2 – 8.25 miles yesterday, CI under CO so guessing just a normal fluctuation.
09/26 134.2 - 10.37 miles walked yesterday
09/27 134.2 – 3.64 miles walked yesterday, or should I say chasing after my 18 month old grandson!!
09/28 135.6 – sigh! My own fault entirely – it was the Macmillan's big coffee morning here yesterday, I binged on cake .
I know it's a good cause, but I could have donated the same and just had one cake; I ate there and brought some home for the family and ate them too before they got home, not only that – I seem to remember me saying exactly the same thing last year – will I ever learn ???? 9.56 miles walked yesterday, think I need to do 29 or more to compensate for the calories I consumed!!! Determined to have perfect day today.

9/20 191.4 lbs 5h40m/70/10:25pm - f*cking Cecil. Up way too early, but there is zero chance of getting back to sleep now. Had a good workout yesterday, good food day, should see loss, not gain, but the sleep issue always has an impact. Long day today... hoping for a good one.
9/21 190.5 lbs 7h3m/82/9:45pm - long boozy day yesterday. Long people-y day (faced w/o alcohol) today.
9/22 191.9 lbs 7h54m/88/10:11pm - all the Friday booze. I am not worried. I expect to have a good Combat class today and eat clean - should get me back on track.
9/23 190.2 lbs 5h57m/76/11:14pm - kicked it up a notch in Combat, but may be paying a price: my right shoulder is f'd. We'll see how it feels in training today. Otherwise, it was a nice, quiet, restful day with the dogs. 🐾
9/24 190.1 lbs 7h2m/86/10:25pm - good training session, but felt wrung out most of the day. Decent sleep... rest day (ha!)... should help.

Result:
09/20 207. I am surprised by the pop up. I think I had a fever last night for some unknown reason, but I feel back to normal this morning. Hopefully my weight pops back down tomorrow.
09/21 207.4
09/22 208.4
09/23 207.2. Happy Fall Equinox! Today I begin an extended fast. No matter what I am going to muscle through to next Sunday, but I hope to go 10 days for some true healing.
09/24 206. I was successful at fasting yesterday & expect that today will be the same. I feel strong & determined
09/25 203.2. For the first time ever I am successfully fasting. I have not had a nibble of food. I am drinking coffee & water & taking my supplements. I am active & I feel good. I have mentally prepared for this fast since the spring equinox.
09/26 202.2. Yesterday I felt so good about fasting. Then I got really hungry after yoga. To be fair I did get almost 14000 steps & did a 1 hour hot yoga class. I feel good this morning, a little tired.
09/27 203. I ended my fast last night. I wasn’t feeling great & I was hungry. I am a little disappointed I didn’t push through but I still beat my last longest fast by an hour.
09/28 203.8. Yesterday was a good day until we got home from DSs hockey game & I did what I swore I wouldn’t do after this fast… i only want to eat 3 meals no snacking but I became a LNS monster. Oh well, we have nothing unhealthy in the house so not much chance of any real damage.

{Day/Weight/Comment
9/20 - 184.2 - IF/18.5hrs/Meal times~2:30, 8pm. 17g carbs.
I love you ?electrolytes. I felt 80% of my normal yesterday. Got a few things accomplished. I did not reach 128 ozs of water yesterday, because I was running more errands. Today, I will.
9/21 - 185.2 - IF/21hrs/Meal times~5pm, 7pm. 18g carbs. Did not drink enough water yesterday, but I managed to get in all of my electrolytes. Took a "littles" walk with my Great Niece ? She likes to walk and I could walk her speed without too much difficulty. My hip joints and muscles are still somewhat stiff and painful, but I've got to move! Using a heating pad at night has been beneficial. Ketones detected today. Edging my way back into ketosis.
9/22 - 185.6? (183.6?) - Every once in a while my scale fuctuates wildly. I'll go with the high number. I didn't sleep that well last night and sipped water throughout. IF/19.5hrs. Meal times~ 2:30, 8pm. 19g carbs. Going to visit 2 of the Grands today at Carb Central. Lol. Thats what I'm going to start calling their home.
9/23 - 185.2 - IF/18hrs. Meal times~ 2pm, 7:30. 33g carbs, 21g net carbs. Only vegetable carbs, cabbage and squash.
9/24 - 185.6 - IF/19.5hrs. Meal times~ 3pm, 6:30. 27g carbs, 19g net carbs. I think I may weigh a little less than this, but I can never wait out my body processes 😯 before water and coffee in the morning.
9/25 - 184.6 - IF/20hrs. Meal times~ 2:30, 6:30. 32g carbs, 25g net carbs. Time to clean up the flower bed, outdoor flower pots😢 and plant some spring bulbs. The sun was so intense midsummer that even the sun loving flowers growth was stunted. Now they are flourishing. Between the heat and the deer eating my plants and flowers, it's a wonder there's anything left out there.
9/26 - Now for a bit of entertainment. 181.8😲~ 182.8😳~ 179.8😌~ 181.9😔~ 184😏✔ Scale games this morning. IF/21hrs. Meal times~ 3:30, 7:30. 20g carbs. Planting some daffodil bulbs in a pot today. I've always planted bulbs in the ground, so I don't know how that will work for me. I dug them up two months ago from my front "weed beds" lol. Thats all that grows there, because the "soil" is dirt. Strength training today. My shoulders are in poor condition.

"Sometimes we make the process more complicated than we need to. We will never make a journey of a thousand miles by fretting about how long it will take or how hard it will be. We make the journey by taking each day step by step and then repeating it again and again until we reach our destination." Joseph B. Wirthlin
