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.
9/28--207.6 Surprised I stayed the same was expectinga change considering the up and downs I have had over this round. Going out for a short hike today, first hike in awhile and the weather looks good.

20: 222.3
21: 219.3 WHOOSH! Patience during a plateau is key!
22: 219.7 Today will be a bit of an adjustment day. I updated my macro/calorie goals to reflect my current weight because oddly MFP doesn't automatically do it. Now I'm working with 110 less calories. I'm sure I'll be fine because I frequently wasn't needing my full calories anyway, but there have been days when I've needed them.
23: 218.9 Yesterday was easier than I thought. Even with the lowered calorie allowance, I still ended up with a 400 calorie deficit without exercising. The jeans I've been wearing are feeling really big, but I don't own the size smaller. So I tried in the pair that's 2 sizes smaller, and what do you know, they fit! Tight, but they're stretchy so I wore them around the house for a few hours. They're JUST comfortable enough to wear now. ๐คธ๐คธ๐คธ
24: 217.8 I mowed the lawn for about 2 hours yesterday, including starting a walking path around the perimeter of our 3 acres...with a push mower. I thought maybe I would finish up the path today, but my body is telling me to just rest.
25: DNW
26: 218.5 I'm good with this. As long as these smaller pants keep fitting, I'm generally moving in the right direction. ๐
27: 218.5
28: 218.5 Pre-TOM weight. Should see it drop in the next couple of days.

@dlhollin1 Explore Lazy Keto and LCHF to lower your carbs. Jumping right into Keto which technically is 5% total carb/20% protein/75% fat can be jarring to the system. I stated by swearing off bread and pasta and never experienced โKeto flu.โ Not a medical professional-just been doing it successfully for over 2 years and read everything I can get my hands on.4

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. Itโs a LIFESTYLE.

09/24 121.0 Made the decision yesterday to buy a new car. 2019 CR-V. It feels huge compared to the old one.
09/25 123.0 Today I awoke with a rumbling tummy. Pretty sure my weight is up as a reaction to Asian buffet on Monday. Sadly, it wasnโt very satisfying as we were too late to get my desired veggies tempura.๐ข๐ข
**I failed to post here yesterday because I needed to get a couple of things done. I think after the stress of the last week and a half over the car situation my body just gave up. I ate all Keto but was way over on calories and protein and fat macros but 1 under on carbs. Celebrate the small things!
09/26 121.5 Very unsettled gut yesterday. Many trips to TMI, movie in the afternoon, no snacks, 1/2 Greek salad with gyro meat for supper. Gut feels better today.
09/27 122.5 Finished Greek Salad yesterday and ate 1/4 pita. Thinking about doing a fast but doubt the weekend is the best time!
09/28 121.0 Fasted most of the day but DH made plans to eat with friends before music. So it became a longer IF - 22 hours.7 -

09/21 140.2 Hosted a lovely pool party/dinner last evening. Good thing I worked out a little extra, as I enjoyed a huge plate of awesome and healthy food. Baked chicken, roasted beets with herbs from our garden, mashed potatoes, curried vegies, salad, figs from our tree, pico gallo Nica style.
09/22 141.2 watched some surfing this afternoon, then into town for lobster, red snapper filet, and garlic shrimp, with some salad, and a wee bit of the rice.

OSW 382.0
RSW 293.8
My goal is to end lower than I started, and to be at or under maintenance calories for my oldest sonโs birthday. Thankfully itโs the last of the birthdays for the year.
09/20 294.4 Ah the after weight training, high activity, high sodium, high stress bounce. I was on track with my calories despite my husband bringing home dinner, but I weighed out what was within my calorie goals.
09/21 295.0 Two words, Japanese food. So much tasty sodium filled foods. I was under calories, but oh the sodium. I donโt expect to see a drop until Tuesday because today Iโm doing maintenance calories today for my sonโs birthday.
09/22 296.8 My son had a nice birthday, but I overate. Thankfully I have nothing else until my anniversary next month. I should see most if not all of the weekend gain gone in a few days as most if not all of it is from sodium.
09/23 294.4 Hopefully Iโll be back down to the round start tomorrow. Iโm so sore this morning because I bought a kettlebell weight yesterday and did a workout. My husband has agreed that we need to stop eating out on the weekends. Itโs something that has been a little bit of an issue since the new job.
09/24 293.4 And back down plus a little bit. Iโm still a little sore and stuff but itโs much better today. This weight also puts me a hint lower than my goal weight for a challenge Iโm in and I have ten more days left of that challenge so Iโm really happy seeing this number today.
09/25 292.6 Iโm on track and really happy with how my change in food/calorie plan is working out. Now if I can just stay on track for the weekends again Iโll be doing fantastic.
09/26 292.0 Thatโs now a total of 90 pounds lost since January first. I donโt think Iโll have trouble hitting my goal for the year.
09/27 293.0 No idea, probably a combination of sodium, low water, late dinner, and hormones because of ovulation.
09/28 292.0 And back down. I did my kettlebell workout yesterday and Iโm not as sore as last time so thatโs nice.

First round for me! 34 year old female, lots of weight to lose but perhaps not as much motivation as I need. Hopeful this will help! Only participating for nine days - would love to lose half a stone (7lbs) but would also like the moon on a stick!
Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 - Didn't weigh.
09/21 - 19st 6.8lbs - Did week 4 run 2 of couch to 5k today. Got my first heckles from a stranger. Ignored them. ๐ช
09/22 - 19st 6.3lbs (-0.5lb)
09/23 - 19st 4lbs (-2.3lb) Did week 4 run 3 of couch to 5k today, and somehow racked up over 23,000 steps on my pedometer. Certainly am moving more these days!
09/24 - 19st 2.8lbs (-1.2lb) Tough day of toddler groups and biscuits to avoid ahead! Fingers crossed for rock hard willpower.
09/25 - 19st 3.5lbs (+0.7lbs) Not sure what the craic is with this gain, it was undeserved. I was under my calorie goal with good choices and had nearly 15,000 steps on my pedometer yesterday. Even managed to resist the bloody biscuits but nevertheless here we are. Still a loss overall so no worries but hoping to be back on track tomorrow.
09/26 - 19st 3.5lbs (no change) Adding my comment before bed today instead of first thing in the morning because today has just been THAT against me from the get go! Nevertheless I have maintained my willpower, stayed within my calorie goal and got out to do my couch to 5k session despite one child refusing to sleep and the other vomitting all over my running clothes just before I was about to leave. (Ran in pyjama pants and my husband's hoodie. I was NOT giving up today!) Thursday can just bugger off. (I did the run though! W5R1 3x5mins. I am so proud of myself!)
09/27 - 19st 2.5lb (-1lb) Well, thank goodness for that. Looking at a 4.3lb loss so far this challenge. Don't imagine I'm going to hit the moon-on-a-stick 7lb mark with two more days to go but nevertheless I'm not disappointed!
09/28 - 19st 2.5lb (no change) A good day overall although difficult running experience. Attempted 8min run/5min walk/8min run and was really pleased with my progress until part of the way through the last section when a dog jumped up on me from behind. It was non-threatening but I got such a fright that I lost my rhythm completely. Walked a few moments and tried to run repeatedly and couldn't get it back. Am furious. I knew I could do it.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/20: 307.1 lbs (+4.0) โฆ ugh. Iโm used to the idea that fluctuations are normal and to be expected, but itโs still a kick to the gut each time it happens. Especially when itโs a bigger one like this.
09/21: 307.8 lbs (+0.7) โฆ apparently yesterday wasnโt high enough of a water weight gain.
09/22: 304.8 lbs (-3.0) โฆ some uptick recovery, but still up a decent chunk over my start weight for this round. Hopefully Iโll continue seeing a downward trend tomorrow. Completed Couch to 5k Week 6 Day 1 this morning.
09/23: 304.7 lbs (-0.1) โฆ at least it wasnโt an increase!
09/24: 303.0 lbs (-1.7) โฆ whew, what a relief. A new low, if only by .1 lb, is very welcome after a ~5 lb uptick in weight! Glad to be on the correct side of zero for this challenge now. Completed Couch to 5k Week 6 Day 2 this morningโฆ the last workout with walking intervals in the program. I was feeling good, so I passed on the walking in the middle and turned it into a 23 minute jog instead.
09/25: 302.5 lbs (-0.5) โฆ another new low! Feeling good.
09/26: 301.4 lbs (-1.1) โฆ another new low! Sub-300 is getting closer. Completed Couch to 5k Week 6 Day 3 this morning. Workout called for a 22 minute jog, but I was able to push it to 32 minutes. Very happy with that, considering the very last workout in the program, in three weeks, aims to have you run 30 minutes. Iโve already met that goal so I can work on pace a bit now.
09/27: 302.1 lbs (+0.7) โฆ a minor uptick, likely due to the fact that I had a heavier (delicious) dinner last night. Still within my budget. Nothing to worry about.
09/28: 301.2 lbs (-0.9) โฆ another new low! Played an hour session of Beat Saber both last night and this morning, then went out for a 7 mile bike ride this afternoon. .1 lb more loss until I hit my goal for this round. Hopefully I can make that happen for tomorrow.

09/23 โ 143 โ I had extra sodium, little water, and more food than I usually do on a weekend. I also have a professional luncheon today and Iโm not sure whatโs on the menu. Iโll have to be extra mindful over the next couple days to compensate for the last few days.
09/24 โ 143.5 โ Iโm going through a stressful period right now, but I have some plans in place to try to mitigate the damage.
09/25 โ 144 โ I quit smoking on Sunday, so this is not a surprise. Iโm trying to stick to my eating plans and increase my exercise. Iโm glad Iโm here so I donโt completely go off the rails!
09/26 โ 143 โ I did better on my snacking yesterday and drank more water. Iโm also moving a bit more to relieve stress.
09/27 โ 142.5 โ Iโm going to work really hard to stay within maintenance calories this weekend. Iโm trending up in my weight, but Iโm sure it would have been worse if I wasnโt weighing in every day.
09/28 - 143 - I'm not doing great with my calories. I'll have to try to up my exercise to help compensate.

9/20: 202.3 I ate late, consumed a lot of sodium and tom. I definitely came in under my calorie goal and took 8000 steps (which is great for me lol) ;D
9/21: 199.5 OMG! OMG! OMG! I was wondering how the eff this happened and it came to me. Yesterday I ate McDonald's for lunch, skipped dinner and had a snack of (lots of) chocolate chips and milk lol. I've been eating high sodium forever and I finally had a low sodium day yesterday so I think I finally ditched the water! PLEASE BE REAL! ;D
9/22: 200 ughhhh! Lol it was too good to be true! Oh well! I killed it at the gym today so it's going away again real soon. Going out for dinner today sooo might go up again tomorrow.
9/23: 199.7 Okaaay I guess it was real after all. YESSS! My workout prevented me from overeating at dinner last night so I'm feeling really good. I actually had an amazing food weekend!
9/24: 198.9 Ow owww! I'm just killin' it this round. I guess this is what happens when I add exercise and stick to my deficit on the weekend as well ;D
9/25: 198.9 I ate pizza for dinner last night and only got like 3000 steps in. I ate at a deficit buuuut there was quite a bit of sodium.
9/26: 198.9 Does anybody else flip the scale off when it doesn't tell you want you want to hear?! Went to the gym yesterday and had another good food day yeayaa!
9/27: 198.7 GOOD! I was getting so sick of 198.9 for the past 3 days lol! I'd reaally like to lose that 0.7lb by the end of the round. I'm gonna try for low sodium today.
9/28: 198.3 Sweeet! Come onnn 198 tomorrow! Going out to dinner tonight so I guess we'll see.

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.
9/28: 224.2 (+0.8)/18.9 (0.0). I had a wild night out food-wise, and I weighed in at a different time today. We'll see how things look tomorrow morning. Basketball and a trip to Ikea happening today.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 โ 185.8 โ 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 pokรฉ bowl?
09/21 โ 184.6 โ 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 โ 184.6 โ 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 โ 183.4 โ Nice drop and, surprisingly, a new low. My younger son and his fiancรฉ 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 didnโt cook, log, or walk. But Iโll be back on track tomorrow!
09/24 โ 184.0 โ Thereโs the bounce, but itโs not too bad. Exhausting day โ 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 โ 184.0 โ 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 โ 183.0 โ Good to see the last bounce gone. Student conferences all day, but Iโm 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. Weโll see what the scale says tomorrow.
09/27 โ 183.0 โ 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!
09/28 โ 182.2 โ Surprised by another drop, but excited to have passed the โ30 lbs lostโ milestone. Spent the day doing errands and then took my mom out for a late dinner at a local Irish pub. Logging restaurant meals is always a challenge, but I think I managed to stay a bit below maintenance calories even with a pint of cider and a couple of chocolate truffles for dessert.

(Ran in pyjama pants and my husband's hoodie. I was NOT giving up today!) Thursday can just bugger off. (I did the run though! W5R1 3x5mins. I am so proud of myself!)
09/27 - 19st 2.5lb (-1lb) Well, thank goodness for that. Looking at a 4.3lb loss so far this challenge. Don't imagine I'm going to hit the moon-on-a-stick 7lb mark with two more days to go but nevertheless I'm not disappointed!
09/28 - 19st 2.5lb (no change) A good day overall although difficult running experience. Attempted 8min run/5min walk/8min run and was really pleased with my progress until part of the way through the last section when a dog jumped up on me from behind. It was non-threatening but I got such a fright that I lost my rhythm completely. Walked a few moments and tried to run repeatedly and couldn't get it back. Am furious. I knew I could do it.
09/29 - 19st 1lb (1.5lb loss) Well, I'm pretty pleased with that! 5.8lb off in nine days. Thank you for this challenge - the daily check in has helped to keep me focused. I see now at some point I've lost a couple of days' worth of entries on my copying and pasting but overall I've had a very good week! I didn't hit my 7lb target but I'm really not that far off and I knew I was shooting for the stars anyway. Thanks to everyone for the support and encouragement. What a lovely community!
Looking forward to the next round now.
