09/24 …..192.2 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1334 Calories In / 2737 Calories Out. 21 Net Carbs. 17,397 Total Steps & 7.36 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours (lost an hour at my dr. appt) and I slept 4 hours & 19 minutes
09/25 …..192.2 ….. Travel Day 1055 Calories In / 2853 Calories Out. 20 Net Carbs. 20,928 Total Steps & 8.86 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 47 minutes.
09/26 …..196.6 ….. After travel weigh-in. Another travel day today too. Disappointed with scale but I want to PROMISE everyone that I did not eat the 15,000 calories that would be required to make this jump on the scale. The water retention is the most frustrating part after a restaurant meal, but this too shall pass. The second most frustrating part is the lack of consistent movement. This also affects the calorie burn for the day. I worked hard last night at home just to get my 10,000 plus steps in! I am traveling again in just a bit for the day & evening so I will catch up on all the posts tonight.
09/27 …..198.0 ….. After travel weigh-in after two individual days of travel. Chinese for lunch and leftovers for dinner. Carbs & sodium showing up on the scale. Yesterday’s stats: 2510 Calories In / 2530 Calories Out. Approximately 128 Carbs (ugg). 14,352 Total Steps & 6.07 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit step hours which was difficult to get during travel. I slept 6 hours & 54 minutes last night which was unusual for me but badly needed. After returning home late yesterday evening I fit in an 81 minute walk on a new trail with very very rugged terrain. It was stunningly beautiful! Extra calorie burn 410. Back on track today is the plan. However, I’m not sure about exercise plan for the day. Rainy & cold today here in northern Michigan.
09/28 …..192.6 ….. Wow! 4 days of wild fluctuations due to travel meals & water retention! Usually more like “fast on, slow off”. Anyway, down to working on the real fat now! I worked very hard yesterday in many ways. With my diet I knew I wanted extra low calories to get back on track so I spread them out wisely and luckily, no sugar drop! For exercise, I ended up with a short 30 minute but very brisk walk in my neighborhood. Then I later walked in the drizzling rain and in the dark for quite some time on my acreage while talking on the phone to my cousin with the intention of burning more calories & getting more steps. Lots of steps & miles! I didn’t get too close to the woods though, lest there be bears! It is bear hunting season right now so they are in a panic I’m sure and I don’t want to get caught in their crosshairs! Yesterday’s stats: 1060 Calories In / 3213 Calories Out. 23 Net Carbs. I walked 26,236 steps & 11.12 miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 4 hours & 30 minutes getting up & down all night to shed the water. It was worth it! Today is cold & damp but the sun is starting to peak out. I have been invited by my neighbor & walking partner for a salmon dinner. I am bring my own keto friendly side to steer clear of the sweet potatos she is making. It will be a good day today.
09/29 …..192.2 ….. I made the 2 lb loss goal after a whoosh that found itself in my prayers! Another great day yesterday. Stats: 1149 Calories In / 2550 Calories Out. 16 Net Carbs. 15,218 Total Steps & 6.44 Total miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 4 minutes. I took a 2.5 mph leisure walk for 69 minutes with my walking partner & her dog Buttercup. Total extra calorie burn was 366. This round found lots of travel & a glucose problem rearing its ugly head again. Both created problems related to my diet. I remain a work in progress and I never give up on aiming for self-improvement on all fronts. I continue to love my low-carb lifestyle overall in spite of my mishaps. This round found a lot of wonderful changes & positive influences in the posts! Congrats to all!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 127.2 I feel like I will always need to be part of this group, can it please go on forever? Although my habits are mostly squared away (12-8 eating window, track my calories, weigh in daily, that's it!), I do feel there will *never* be a day when I don't love my favorite treats and meals. Donuts, c'mon, I will heart them forever! And the only way I have found to enjoy donuts- or pizza, homemade cookies, French fries, etc.- is to stick to the habits I just outlined. I have lost 30 lbs eating everything I love, including ice cream every day. But. I. Need. This. Challenge. Accountability is everything.

09/25 129.2 Yikes. My head hasn't been in it so far this round, and it's showing.
09/26 128.4 I didn't eat nutritiously yesterday, but I did stay under calories, so there's some progress.
09/27 127 Heading into the weekend in a good place. My body seems to love this weight.
09/28 128 Meh.
09/29 127.4 Ha, basically back to where I started! I'm beginning to wonder if I honestly need to lose the "last" 3 lbs to get to my UGW. I'm 5'7", 127 lbs, down from 158, and I feel comfortable with where I am, though I'm far from having achieved my "dream" body lol. I've gotten to this point since March, so it's taken about 7 months to lose 30 lbs. Not super fast, but steady loss. My conclusion?
I DON'T NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT, I NEED TO TONE UP. That means [said in a whisper] I think I *might* be in maintenance-land, friends, but I'm scared to declare it officially.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/20: 307.1 lbs (+4.0) … ugh. I’m used to the idea that fluctuations are normal and to be expected, but it’s still a kick to the gut each time it happens. Especially when it’s a bigger one like this.
09/21: 307.8 lbs (+0.7) … apparently yesterday wasn’t high enough of a water weight gain.
09/22: 304.8 lbs (-3.0) … some uptick recovery, but still up a decent chunk over my start weight for this round. Hopefully I’ll continue seeing a downward trend tomorrow. Completed Couch to 5k Week 6 Day 1 this morning.
09/23: 304.7 lbs (-0.1) … at least it wasn’t an increase!
09/24: 303.0 lbs (-1.7) … 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 morning… 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) … another new low! Feeling good.
09/26: 301.4 lbs (-1.1) … 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. I’ve already met that goal so I can work on pace a bit now.
09/27: 302.1 lbs (+0.7) … 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) … 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.
09/29: 299.1 lbs (-2.1) … Sub-300, finally! I’m very happy this morning. Mowed the lawn last night (push mower; I retired my riding mower this year to get more exercise), had my C25k run this morning (Couch to 5k Week 7 Day 1 complete!) and cleaned out the garage this afternoon. Hell of a way to finish out a challenge round!

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. 🤸🤸🤸
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. 🙃
27: 218.5
28: 218.5 Pre-TOM weight. Should see it drop in the next couple of days.
29: 218.8 This is actually better than I expected! Too many carbs and too much sodium last night.

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.

09/23 207.2. 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 DSshickey 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.
09/29 204.6. Not much to say... normal bounce back from fasting & not 100% in control

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.

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.
09/28 197.0 (+.8)/ 29.0% (+.2) let myself go a little last night. Late night hanging out with some friends. But nothing i can’t come back from.
09/29 195.8 (-1.2) / 28.8% (-.2%) This is a good way to end the round.. let’s hope it stays this way in the next6 -
The scale is teasing me at the minute. 😂

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: 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.
9/29: 223.8 (-0.4)/18.9 (0.0). Basketball was rough yesterday. My knees were sore before I ever stepped foot on the court. Ate okay, but had dinner out with in-laws. I think I ate back about half my calories. I'm trying to remember that this is actually me reaching my goal for the challenge. I should be happy about this, so I will be :-)

09/21: 234.8 - worked out hard all week eating back some calories!
09/22: 235.0 - went on a date yesterday and had a lot of fun. Loved eating over my calories. Decided to relax today too and start back up tomorrow.
09/23: 236.6 - 60 minutes on stationary bike.
09/24: 235.4 - Had a fun weekend but I'm getting back on track. Focusing on not overeating and getting my workout in today.
09/25: 234.2 - Got my workout in yesterday and resisted the urge to eat cake at work today. I'm feeling really good and starting to see results. Focusing on working out and not going over my calories today
09/26: 232.6 - this feels good. I like see the numbers go down. I got my workout in and ate within my calories. Things are going really good this week.
09/27: 232.2 - woot woot so nice to see the scale headed in the right direction again. Got my workout in yesterday and am feeling good about getting close to my goal of hitting 230 by the end of September. Have a good weekend everyone. 😊
09/28: 232.6 - enjoyed some pizza yesterday and got my workout in. Managed to stay within my calories quite easily and I feel like I have a much better relationship with food lately. I have self control and can actually stop myself. I enjoy chocolate everyday but I don't engorge myself on it. Today I'm going to a renaissance festival with my boyfriend and our 9 yr old daughter. The boys are staying home with a sitter and we are going to enjoy some time away. My girl is going to love it. Happy Saturday everyone 😊.
09/29: 232 - we had a great day at the rennaissance festival. I didn't work out but I figured walking around all day was more than enough. Today we're enjoying a relaxing day at home.

09/20 -193.8lbs- Starting off this round celebrating a 10lb loss since I started back on my journey!
09/21 -193.4lbs- No planned exercise. Still watching the calories though.
09/22 -193lbs- Got in some slow walking and house work yesterday. Also found out that it is really challenging to eat out and stay within calories!
09/23 -192.8lbs- Weekend went pretty well. On to Monday and a little meal planning. I don't love meal planning but I have got to stick with it.
09/24 -192.8lbs- No exercise yesterday except housework. My base calories without exercise is 1200...not easy to stick to but I should be back to walking soon. I can always find some work to do around here until then!
09/25 -191.9lbs- Calorie count was good yesterday. Did an exercise video online yesterday and will do another today. I will do some meal planning today. It is hard to stay in calorie range if I don't plan ahead.
09/26 -192.8lbs- I ate well yesterday and did a low impact cardio video and my calf muscles are so sore! I was walking, even jogging a little, several times a week so that soreness was unexpected!
09/27 -192.4lbs- I had a very stressful evening yesterday but I did NOT soothe myself with food. I went to my room to take a few deep breathes and get control of my thoughts and then I went for a walk. This is a skill I need to practice every day!
09/28 -191.6lbs- Almost to the 180s! Now to get through the weekend...
09/29 -190.8lbs- 4 pound loss this round!6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 – 141 – OK!
09/21 - 141
09/22 - 142
09/23 – 143 – I had extra sodium, little water, and more food than I usually do on a weekend. I also have a professional luncheon today and I’m not sure what’s on the menu. I’ll have to be extra mindful over the next couple days to compensate for the last few days.
09/24 – 143.5 – I’m going through a stressful period right now, but I have some plans in place to try to mitigate the damage.
09/25 – 144 – I quit smoking on Sunday, so this is not a surprise. I’m trying to stick to my eating plans and increase my exercise. I’m glad I’m here so I don’t completely go off the rails!
09/26 – 143 – I did better on my snacking yesterday and drank more water. I’m also moving a bit more to relieve stress.
09/27 – 142.5 – I’m going to work really hard to stay within maintenance calories this weekend. I’m trending up in my weight, but I’m sure it would have been worse if I wasn’t 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.
09/29 - 145 - Ouch, haven't seen this number since July. At least I've made it a week without smoking.7 -
Congrats! @merph518 WTG!
@jaccimc63, I'm so happy that you decided to live cigarette free! {{{Hugs}}} Congrats! on your first smoke free week! Pretty soon you will forget how many weeks have passed.5 -
09/29 - 145 - Ouch, haven't seen this number since July. At least I've made it a week without smoking.
@jaccimc63 If you haven't smoked in a week then you are WINNING!!!! My last cigarette was April 2007 and I've never looked back! Congratulations on a whole week of success and a healthier you!3
