JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 91

@Nuge007 I’m no expert nor am I a medical professional but I’ve been successfully doing Keto/LCHF for over 2 years. True Keto is no more than 5% carb calories (total not net.) Try to get your percentages to 5C/20P/75F. At 1500 calories that is only 19g of TOTAL carbs. If you are hungry in the evening, eat a fat bomb. I even resorted to just letting a thin slice of butter (no margarine) melt in my mouth. That being said, you are doing well.3

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

9/30 121.0
10/1 122.0 Awake way too early! 4 AM!!
10/2 119.5 Not surprised. I have been doing longer fasting periods and OMAD in the late afternoon, around 4 or 5.
10/3 119.5 I suspected this might happen due to all of the bouncing in the last week plus. The things I love most are that I seldom feel hungry, and Keto/low carb has been shown to be good for the brain.
10/4 119.0
10/5 119.5 Yesterday we went to see The Peanut Butter Falcon with DH then Sweet Tomatoes for dinner after. All veggies but did splurge on broccoli cheese soup and a bit of focaccia.
10/6 119.5 Dinner at Carlito’s last night. I ordered chilies relleno and calabacitas. It was two large Hatch chilies dipped in batter, deep fried and smothered in green chili. Soooo good but after eating half, I was stuffed. And then the sopapilla - I gave most to Carl. I fully expect my weight to go up in the next couple of days especially with the pool closing party tonight. I bought low carb Margarita mix.7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30--207.2 Surprised about the slight drop since I'm so sore from my workout yesterday. Plan is to take the dog out for a long walk and to get my water in.
10/01--207.6 I'm disappointed, not in the bump in the scale because that can happen for a number of reasons that are out of my control, but more because I had a second snack yesterday even though I wasn't hungry and even though I had set my goal this round for only one snack. This disappointment is going to encourage me to stick with my goal for the rest of the round. Went out with a short hike with hubby and the dog yesterday, it was a perfect fall day. I'm still sore, so I will probably just take the dog out for an easy walk after dinner.
10/02--207.0 Strength coach today.
10/03--206.7 I'm so sore from my workout yesterday, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bump tomorrow.
10/04--206.7 Went to the gym this morning before work. Didn't get much water yesterday, so goal is to get water in today.
10/05--206.7 I don't think I've ever weighed in at the same weight for3 days in a row. Going to my town's fair/festival and I'll be eating my lunch from the local vendors so I ate a light breakfast and will drink a lot of water. Hoping to get a lot of steps.
10/06--207.8 I was expecting the bump. Went to the festival yesterday and had a great time. I woke up this morning and was so, so thirsty. Going to see strength coach today and will definitely be drinking a lot of water 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.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
09/30 134.5, pretty happy with this weight especially since it’s after a weekend. My TOM will be mid week so hoping to curb any cravings and still manage to get workouts in.
10/01 134.3, back to where I was at the end of last round and hopefully the downward trend continues the rest of the round. Ending on a Wednesday gives me time to lose any period weight.
10/02 134.2, back to lowest weight and TOM started yesterday. Lots of water and cooking today a meal that gives 3 meals of leftovers do should be set up well for the next couple of days.
10/03 134.1, meals prepped for today (still leftovers) and managed to go to the gym for an hour so hoping continue on downward trend tomorrow going into the weekend with some cushion since always go up slightly.
10/04 133.8, went to the doctor today and weighed in at 135.7, which was discouraging but reminded myself that it’s better to see a trend with the same scale and I’ve been using the same one since the beginning. 70 minute on elliptical this afternoon and prepped meals should hopefully help continuing on a downward trend
10/05 133.8, ate well but skipped the gym to finish a project. Will try to do 1 hour and a half tomorrow to make up for the missed session today.
10/06 133.6, managed to do an 1 hour and a half. Off to brunch so may be over calories tomorrow but go so rarely will enjoy myself. Dinner is the last bit of leftovers.

Round 91 (my round 9)
9/30 - 154.5 - starting to settle into life with my oldest baby here. I’ve missed having time with her and she’s going through a stressful time, so we’re going to work it together. She has done keto in the past, and felt better, so I’m hoping she will do it with me now. Today we had a nice dinner out. Shared a plate at my FAVORITE Mexican place, and ate all the non-keto & enjoyed an “adult beverage”. Junk food is out now. We both have a lot to accomplish in the next 2 months before my lease ends!
10/1 (work) - 156.5 - popcorn at the movie 2 days ago & Mexican food last night. The bonding with my “baby” is worth any cost.
10/2 (work) - 155 - a gallon of water makes a difference!
10/3 (work) - 155
10/4 (work) - 154.5
10/5 - 154 - movement makes a difference. 4 busy days at work. Didn’t eat great, and I’ll be sorry later. DD2 brought her BF home for the weekend to meet the family, so dinner out tonight.
10/6 - 153 - good movement yesterday is all I can chalk that up to. Pizza at Savastano’s last night. Not keto but so delicious! Back in the saddle today. I need to stop slacking. I’m so close to the 40’s!!9 -

@MBabydoll You worked 4 days this week??? Good job doing what you’re doing but you and S need to food prep too. Are all those frozen meals we made gone?
I’m working 4 every week for a few weeks. Need to build my account back up. We still have meals in the freezer. Our schedules don’t always mesh well and she works 6 days a week. Things on that side aren’t going as I hoped either. 😔5 -

09/30 -191.9- I used to panic if I had an uptick in weight. I wanted a fast solution and I took even a small fluctuation as a failure on my part which then led to failure on my part. Now I know fluctuations are normal and I am doing well if I trend downward over time. Stick to the program and it will work!
10/01 -191.6- I went walking yesterday and it is so hot here in KY, still in the 90's. Come on fall temps!
10/02 -190.7- Keep going! You are worth it!
10/03 -190.1- My back and legs hurt after walking last night. I swear I think it is the hot temps that are to blame. Thankfully, the weather is about to turn fall-ish around here!
10/04 -189.9- Slow and steady, that's what I am aiming for! With my daily walk I have about 1500 calories to work with. I am not going hungry at all and I can even work in things like a serving of chips (not 3/4ths of a large bag!) now and then. I want this to be a healthy lifestyle change and not just fast weight loss so I am aiming for sustainability.
10/05 -190.5- Time for the weekend!

10/06: 92.2 (+0.2 from yesterday -2.8lbs from start of challenge) definitely just a small fluctuation, not worried one bit. Actually glad it's taking a break from dropping quite so fast. After I lose another 2lbs of body fat I can switch to a maintenance diet and start another phase of getting closer to my goals which is to start gaining those 5lbs back but in hopefully purely lean muscle mass. I wasn't planning on going to the gym today (take Sunday's and Tuesday's off) but had a lot of restless energy and my workout rlly helped with that. Focused on my arms again today using some of the exercises I recently learned. They are my weakest part & want them to be stronger and more defined. Also did some light cardio for my anxious energy, very helpful. Glad I worked out today (: have been making healthy food choices so far. I am defintely proud of myself today and in a wonderful mood (: exercise is like a natural anti-depressant honestly! Lol Good luck everyone & keep up the hard work 😊💕

10/02: 302.4 lbs (+0.5) … Yesterday’s progress, erased. Likely water retention due to more exercise -- was pretty active yesterday. Ran in the morning, walked at lunch, then spent 1.5 hours playing Beat Saber in the evening. Wound up at around 17,000 steps for the day.

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.
8 -
I’m reframing this journey as an ongoing, lifelong pilgrimage to healthy living with reaching and maintaining a healthier weight as one of several goals.
I am aiming for one behavioral shift this round....no snacks after dinner. That should cut some calories I don’t need!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 - 165.6
Phooey. But I did have popcorn last night and some chips and salsa earlier. But today’s the day for serious cleanup! And this round is a snack-free zone.
10/01 - 165.4
I had no snacks yesterday until late evening. I was hungry, so I had some air-popped popcorn. Not too bad.
10/02 - 165.2
Slow, but the right direction at least. I ate responsibly all day, and although I did have popcorn last night, I was within calorie range. One little step at a time back to where I want to be (and was — sigh).
10/03 - 164.8
That’s a surprise — too much sodium yesterday. Yay!
10/04 - 165.4
There's the sodium from Wed. But yesterday was a good day, so all is well.

Did really well in the last round. Hoping to finally hit a new decade this round. I am so close to my ultimate goal, but it seems so far away at the same time. I have to be so careful with everything to be able to lose at this point, so I am going to work really hard. My goal is to hit 139 at least a couple of times this round and continue to bring my 10 day avg down at least another pound.
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
Round 90: 143.7 - 140.9 down 2.8 Avg 142.68
9/30 - 145.9 not off to a great start. We drank a lot yesterday and did a lot of snacking on foods that I normally wouldn't eat. Tons of carbs/sodium and beer were consumed all day. Tailgating and watching the Cowboys game with the hubby made for a great Sunday though. Now to get back on track and get somewhere this round. I am getting to old to party like we used to, I feel terrible today and I am just hoping to get my water in. I have a feeling it will an early night for me.
10/1 - 146.5 I have no idea what's going on. I had a medication change that started Saturday, so maybe I am holding onto some water or something or maybe this is the rest of my Sunday's bounce. I know I did splurge a little to much, but geez, I don't think 5.6 pounds worth by any means. I better not see it go up again tomorrow, it will eventually drop, I just have to be patient.
10/2 - 143.9 water weight is my enemy! Hopefully I will be back down tomorrow all the way. Was on track all day yesterday accept I did have a flour tortilla with dinner. Other than that excellent day and so far on track today.
10/3 - 143.2 I think I would have been lower, but had to eat on the run last night for dinner. Hubby and kids wanted pizza which I can usually get away with. Of course the pizza restaurant we chose did not serve salads (even pizza hut has a salad), I was shocked. So I went with 1 slice of veggie pizza and a couple of chicken wings. I thought for sure that would be fine. Usually if we order from our local place I can eat a salad and a couple of bone in wings and be well under my allotted dinner calories. I ended up 200 calories over, 40 fat g over, and 2000 mg of sodium over. I don't know what this place does to it's wings, but I would have been better off eating a couple slices of pizza. I was shocked when I went home and logged my dinner. So water and clean eating is on the menu today.
10/4 - 142.0 Feeling extremely bloated and uncomfortable all day. My stomach still isn't 100% cooperating with the new meds, so hopefully bu next week I will be better. I am exactly where I was last Friday. I am still fighting to get into the 130's, but I think it's going to take longer than I thought.
10/5 - 141.5 I’m good with this. Almost back down to my lowest last week. I just need to keep working and doing what I need to do.
10/6 - 141.5 glad it stayed the same. Drank last night though but stayed away from the food at a get together we had with friends. So I always see a spike up 2 days later after I drink. Hoping to stay on track today and finish this week strong.

Round 91
Goal : to run the 30 Day Shred programme everyday (it’s fun and structured).
Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 - n/a - homemade bodyweight programme
10/01 - day 1 - Oof, I forgot about the arm exercises. But did it! And it feels good to finally get back into the groove of things.
10/02 - day 2 - Woke up sore from yesterday, which I liked :-)
Ok, day two was nice, slightly easier than day one. And it seemed shorter as well.
10/03 - day 3 - yikes, only did half the session. Like my heart isn’t in it anymore... I feel like I get bored so easily these days. And I must say I had a long day as well, and did the session when my energy levels were low.
I will do my session in the morning tomorrow. No sad feelings :-)
10/04 - day 4 - yeah, no, it’s definitely boredom. I miss the weight training. I shall finish these 10 days just because, but then look to start Stronglift :-)
10/05 - day 5 - done. No issues. I’m really uplifted by all the progress everyone here writes about. I love this idea of focusing « only » on 10 days at a time. I think it has made me want to change a particular mindset I have had trouble with. How wonderful to notice these kinds of changes. Happy progress everyone!
10/06 - day 6 - felt good today. I added 10 minutes of stretching because I love it but also because my legs were stiff as can be... only 3 more days :-)
10/07 - day 7 - I outdid myself today, I’m quite happy about how things are going and my future plans.7 -
Ready for my round 28
OSW 88KG
RSW 62.3kg (-25. 7kg) or {- 55.7lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
I gained last round so its time to focus on getting where I want to be instead of settling for "good enough"
09/30 62.15kg and a nice early run. Time to get serious and stop settling.
10/01 62.4 kg which I'm hoping is the last of the weekend weight. Gym done and a super busy day ahead.
10/02 61.9kg...that's more like it! 3km run done and aerobics later and another super busy day.
10/03 61.75kg and a nice gym session done. Ready to start today!
10/04 61.9kg...no real reason so maybe just the exercise. 4km ran and last day of my busy busy work days. Physio later
10/05 61.9 kg. Hosting a big party today. We'll keep Keto bit I don't the calories will be in check.
10/06 recovery day. Broke Keto... Broke diet... Feel like a bloated slug!
10/07 64.1kg the bloat is real. The 1st time I've broken Keto in 9 months on the plan. Now I know... Back on it today and Keto for ever!

Goal for this round: 222.0
Day/Weight/Comment
9/30: 224.2 (+0.4)/19.0 (+0.1). Got super busy and did not have time to post.
10/1: 223.6 (-0.6)/18.9 (-0.1). Spent the day at Magic Mountain with my 78-year-old dad. The guy LOVES roller coasters. I was feeling a bit nauseous by the end of the day, partially because I'm still recovering from illness the week before. Still, super-fun day; I walked a ton, and I am pretty sure I was under on calories when considering exercise.
10/2: 224.6 (+1.0)/19.0 (+0.1). My eating has been a bit squirrely the past couple of days. I probably ate twice as much as I "should" have last night, including some dessert. There's been no huge harm done at this point, so I'm going to focus on limiting the duration/intensity of this little "lapse" (meaning, cutting that $#!+ down in its tracks, RIGHT NOW). I am going to the gym tonight to lift weights and do some cardio.
10/3: 224.2 (-0.4)/18.9 (-0.1). Went to the gym last night and lifted weights. Ate okay throughout the day, and I was definitely under my calorie goal.
10/4: 224.4 (+0.2)/19.0 (+0.1). My wife surprised me with one of my favorite meals last night. It was so good... but I don't want to focus on that. I split what she brought me in two, and brought the other half to work with me for lunch. Gym tonight after work.
10/5: 224.0 (-0.4)/18.9 (-0.1). Went to the gym least night. Had leftovers for lunch, which probably wasn't the healthiest option. Going out tonight for sushi on a double date with one of my best friends.
10/6: 225.0 (+1.0)/19.0 (+0.1). Went out for sushi and had about 3 beers over the night. Then I binged at home. No surprise with this weigh-in, but not an emergency either. I want to say that I've been in a bit if a rut, but I think it's really only with the scale. I've been going to the gym 3x/wk pretty consistently, I'm feeling (and looking) stronger, and I am generally feeling a little bit better overall. I'm going to finish strong in this challenge.

I'm totally up for another round! I joined in for the first time on Round 90 and lost 5.8lb. Great incentive to try again!
ROUND 90: 5.8lb loss
This time I'm shooting for 6lb which is somewhere between my target last time and what I actually acheived.
ROUND 91
Starting weight 19st 1lb (267lb)
Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 - 19st 0.5lb (0.5lb loss) - A good day overall! Busy day at work so lots of walking, and was quite conservative with my calories. Will be repeating my couch to 5k run from Saturday tonight, determined to do it all (unless I get chased by another dog!)
10/01 - 19st 0.3lb (0.2lb loss) - Aaaaargh!! I mean, a loss is a loss but I am soooo close to the next stone barrier. And once I see 18st on my scale I NEVER want to see 19 again. Did my repeat c25k run last night and it was amazing. My fitness has improved so much since I started. I mean I need to keep at it, but five weeks ago I never would have believe I could run for eight minutes non-stop, twice. And I didn't get to that insensible stage of losing my breath either. 💪💪
10/02 - 18st 12.5lb (1.8lb loss) - Yesssssssssssss!!!! Fully anticipating a bounce back tomorrow but for today, I'm going to enjoy this victory!
10/03 - 18st 12lb (0.5lb loss) - So that uptick didn't come today, although I'm sure it's just around the corner. I hope I can stay under 19st when it comes though. I had a wonderful non-scale victory yesterday - I completed W5R3 of couch to 5k which is 5min walk, 20min run, 5min walk. Possibly the longest I've run in my life, 100% definitely the longest as an adult. I did it! And I felt great doing it! It was hard but not impossible. I am so proud of myself, and so impressed by the increase in my fitness in just five weeks. This success seemed utterly inconceivable then!
10/04 - 18st 11lb (-1lb) - Hooray! I am only ½lb away from a 3stone (42lb/19kg) total loss! I so hope I get there in the next few days, I know I'm due for a little bump up but I don't want one! 4lb loss for Round 91 so far so right on track for my goal. 🤞
10/05 - 18st 11¼lb (+¼lb) - Honestly, if that's my bounce, I'll take that. Doing another c25k session today so fingers crossed for onwards and downwards tomorrow!
10/06 - 18st 10¼lb (-1lb) Yes!!! I did it!! 3st total loss!! Anticipatig a bump tomorrow due to some poor choices (mainly marshmallows) today but feel very committed to getting it back under control.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30: 195.6
10/1: 196.8 Not the greatest day calorie-wise yesterday, but I have a tough workout planned this morning. Will bounce back! 😊
10/2: 196.6 Slow progress, but going in the right direction.
10/3: 198.0 I banked extra calories on Tuesday in anticipation of a high calorie day yesterday. A little disheartening, but will keep plugging away at it.
10/4: 198.0 Choosing to look at the big picture today instead of letting myself get down. I’ve made it under the 200 lb mark, and I’m grateful for that accomplishment. 😊
10/5: 196.8 My weight seems to be all over the place this week. 🤷♀️
10/6: 195.8 Almost back to where I started. 😊
10/7: 195.2 Happy with today’s weigh-in! 😊

I'm in. messed around the last round and bounced up and down the same few pounds. Aim this round is to get into the 139's.
30th Sept: 142.5. Had parents round for dinner yesterday. There was apple tart and ice cream. And cider Back to routine today.
1st Oct: 139.75. I don't deserve this low number today. Yesterday was AWFUL. 3 Krispy Kreme donuts. Crisps. Chocolate. Digestives with real butter. Apple tart. Trifle. No exercise. Just hit my steps that's about it. BUT this low weight has given me a pep up and I'm determined for today. Piloxing class tonight. Really hope I can keep the weight in the 130's.
2nd Oct: 139.25. Absolutely estatic with this. Stayed within calories, did 18k steps and a piloxing class. This is the lowest I've been in 5 years. I'd love to get more comfortable in the 130'3 but TOM is this weekend so lets see.
3rd: Oct: 138.5. WOW! Absolutely thrilled. Yesterday was a good day and went for a walk with my mam and dogs before it got dark. Its getting dark early here now - about 7:15pm and as I live in the country, my evening walks are numbered. I can drive to the nearest town for a walk but its an hour round trip. Piloxing class tonight although we are expecting storm Lorenzo to hit so it could be cancelled.
4th Oct: 138.5. I'm so appreciative that alls going well for me. Stayed within calories, got my steps in and had a piloxing class last night. Another piloxing class tonight. Quiet weekend ahead, but I'll get walks in with the dogs. Promised my boys we'd have a chips and pizza movie night tomorrow night. I haven't had fast food in a long time so I am going to budget for 2 slices of pizza and a bag of chips. We are renting a carpet cleaner for the weekend so I'll be busy washing the couches and carpets. Oh.. and my car seats! I'm a bit of a cleaning nerd.
5th Oct: 138.25. Good day yesterday. Stayed within calories and did my piloxing class.
6th Oct: 140.5. Chips and pizza family night last night. Stayed within calories so not worried about the slight increase.
7th Oct: 141.75. Bad day yesterday. TOM and boy its bad (TMI). Walked the dogs up the woods and had shepherds pie for dinner. It all went downhill from there. There was buttery toast, chocolate bars, biscuits. No end to my snacking. Its like I lost total self control!! Did A LOT of housework too though. Back to normal today. One of the girls brought in caramel rice crispy squares - I did have one but I have it logged. Someone else brought in a box of chocolates... not going to TOUCH them as if I do, I wont be able to stop at 1. Son has training tonight so I'll walk the dog for an hour, get my steps in. Want to finish this round back in the 139's.
