JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 92

AR10at50

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m 54.
SW-Sept. 2018-187
UGW-139

10/10-167-It’s nice to start this round with a loss from yesterday. I’m off to do a bunch of yard work-digging and swinging a pick and that should make me sweat. I like stuff like that!
10/12-168-not bad after a big healthy dinner. I am gone for the weekend and there will be no scale. I’ll report back Tuesday.
10/16-169-Long weekend of fun and food, went to the gym and did a crazy class my friend and I do and came home starving and ate too much. I am trying better today.
10/18-169-I’ve been going to the gym and doing a weight class; big long walks helped to take the weight off of me better.
10/19-171-Oops! Big dinner. Hopefully I will get a long walk in today.

Have a good weekend and I’ll see you next round !😊☕️

🍂🎃🦉 October 🦉🎃🍂
10: 216.6 Tried cassava flour tortillas last night. So, so yummy. I'm totally over regular flour tortillas, and the whole family is onboard.
11: 214.4!! There's definitely a pattern with ovulation, weight stall/gain, and WHOOSH.
12: 213 I'm getting really excited for my next milestone! Less than 2 pounds to go, and I'll have lost 30 pounds in less than 3 months by dietary changes alone...and without uncomfortable sacrifice or deprivation. The acitivity/exercise will come, likely soon. My intention is to have this be a lifelong practice, so I'm only adding what I feel able to maintain at any given time.
13: 213.8
14: 214.6 Too much salt! It's coming back on as fast as it went, but I'm pretty sure it's just water weight.
15: 214.9 Now I'm just confused. Lol
16: 213.8
17: 213.2 I've been listening the The Primal Blueprint podcast a lot over the last several weeks. There have been several episodes talking about heart rate variability, so I started looking into devices and apps. It turns out that Samsung Galaxy phones have a heart rate sensor that can read HRV! How cool is that?! (Other phones use the actual camera as a sensor.) So I got an app called Welltory to start daily tracking. I have more days to track before it'll start showing me patterns and suggestions, but I have noticed that one of the readings says my parasympathetic nervous system isn't kicking in properly. That's a very useful bit of info! Started my day with an Abraham-Hicks meditation, and I'm curious to see how restarting the practice will show up in my heart readings.

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.

R92 EW= 189.0


Current New Goals:

Weight:
Short Term Goal: Lose back down to my lowest weight last round (187.2) which is a 4.6 lb loss. Due to possible fluid retention, I am trying to be confident that I will do it this round. Back to business!
My First Long Term Weight Goal: To weigh 186.X by Halloween. (new revised & realistic goal)
My Second Long Term Weight Goal: Weigh 174.X by Jan 11, 2020 (my 2 year anniversary of current Keto dieting).
Final goal: 145-155. We’ll see how I look & feel when I get there.
Exercise:

During each Weight goal I plan on doing cardio in the form of dancing at aerobic levels whenever possible. I would also like to walk as much as possible.
I have changed my spoiler in order to shorten it listing my rounds in groups

Day/Weight/Comment
10/09 …..189.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

10/10 …..191.8….. Hopefully some of this is water retention. I am up 4.6 lbs from my lowest weight last round. Travel is over (for now) and I’m back in my safe zone (home). LCHF, lots of exercise and I am still attempting to try to get more sleep. Now if I could just get tired! Good luck everyone this round!

10/11 …..191.8….. Yesterday’s stats: 1500 Calories In / 3125 Calories Out. 53 Net Carbs. 24,298 Total Steps & 10.28 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 53 minutes and woke up tired. I did 32 minutes of light to moderate cleaning in the tourist cabins, I walked a DNR hiking trail (no backpack) at about 3.5 mph for 115 minutes (almost 5 miles) and I did aerobic dancing in my livingroom for 26 minutes. Sample song – “Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker Jr. Well, as Scarlet O’Hara once said, “Tomorrow I’ll think of some way….after all, tomorrow is another day”.

10/12 …..189.8 ….. Yesterdays stats: 1250 Calories In / 2496 Calories Out. 37 Net Carbs of friendly veggies. 12,790 Total Steps & 5.41 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept a whopping 6 hours & 18 minutes.

10/13 …..190.2 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1799 Calories In / 2334 Calories Out. 79 Carbs. 14,008 Total Steps & 5.95 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. Not sure about sleep, I recharged my Fitbit. I dreamed last night for the 1st time in probably 20 years. It was a very strange dream but it was wonderful that I got to see my husband again. I woke up very tired & groggy. I wanted to lay back down to see if I could get back into the dream & see him some more, but the cat wouldn’t let me.

10/14 …..190.0 ….. I’m going to have to increase my fiber somehow today. I need TMI to help rid me of my indiscretions! A perfect day yesterday except for the breading on the chicken. Yesterday’s stats: 1696 Calories In / 3084 Calories Out. 40 Net Carbs. 19,422 Total Steps & 8.22 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 19 minutes. I did rigorous tourist cabin cleaning for 90 minutes, light to moderate personal housecleaning for 58 minutes and I did the elliptical for 19 minutes. Total extra calorie burn 739. Expecting 40 degree temps again today but finally no rain. Cold but beautiful.
Have a great week everyone!

10/15 …..189.9 Yesterday’s stats: 1156 Calories In / 2461 Calories Out. 14,458 Total Steps & 6.12 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 3 minutes. I walked approx 3.0 mph for 52 minutes and burned an extra 293 calories.

10/16 …..190.1 ….. I’m surprised this isn’t up more. Had DD #2 over with baby. Had a great LCHF breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sheer Perfection on my macros. Then later last night, a small binge. I have not had one in some time now but it’s like being possessed. I’ll have to watch the scale over the next couple of days to see if this is the only damage or if there’s more to come. Yesterday’s stats: 2226 Calories In / 2525 Calories Out. 82 Net Carbs. 14,445 Total Steps & 6.11 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 23 minutes. I dreamed again. This time about my Poodle that passed away a few years ago at age 17. This is not the last pet I have lost, but he is the one I dreamed of. Even after waking I could still feel his tight black curls on my fingers from petting him in my arms. I could still feel his warm belly on my wrist as I held him and walked. Maybe all the walking has tired me enough to finally hit some REM sleep. So strange after so many years of no dreams. I walked for 76 minutes at 3.0 mph for a total calorie burn of 432.

10/17 …..189.0 ….. Back in the 180’s. Yay me! The small binge two nights ago was with Atkins bars (indulgence and meal replacement). Perhaps because it wasn’t high sodium it did not affect weight or water retention as badly as a restaurant savory meal. Whew! That was a close one! Yesterday’s stats: 1100 Calories In / 2905 Calories Out. 30 Net Carbs including spaghetti squash. 19,507 Total Steps & 8.27 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 23 minutes. I walked 106 minutes at 3.5 mph inside the school on a route designed for walkers (due to rain). I rigorously cleaned a tourist cabin for about 22 minutes. Total extra calorie burn 710.


10/18 …..188.2 ….. I need one more pound to reach my goal & I will be having dinner at the local fish fry for dinner which is pre-planned approx once per month with friends. Ugg. Sodium! I hate that the round is ending on the Saturday after this time! Either way, I don’t think I would drop the full pound overnight anyway. Last night was 0.8 Lost. I have lost 3.2 since the first day’s weigh in but it was inflated from the final weight in Round 91. Yesterday’s stats: 1286 Calories In / 2548 Calories Out. 30 Net Carbs. 12,347 Total Steps & 5.22 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 17 minutes which was fantastic!!! Not much extra activity over my usual household stuff. I did take one small slow 25 minute walk at about 2.0 mph very close to home as I had work being done & had to stay close to the cabins. Good luck everyone tomorrow. Just one more day…….you can do it!!!!

10/19 …..188.0 ….. So happy with this weight after my dinner out last night. I truly made good choices on foods and quantity and I still enjoyed the meal. 1.2 lost this round. Not goal, but close. Happy the scale is down from day 1 of the challenge! Yesterday’s stats: 1296 Calories In / 3086 Calories Out. 73 Carbs. 22,267 Total Steps & 9.42 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I charged my fitbit last night so I am not sure on total sleep (forgot to check clock last night). I walked a beautiful trail along the river for 71 minutes with lots of hills, I took a neighborhood walk for 25 minutes and I did 35 minutes of yard work (raking and hauling off). Total extra calorie burn 753. Great Job everyone this round! See you all tomorrow. It’s the weekend, let’s stay mindful!

I didn’t meet my goal for the round, but I lost weight. That’s all that matters to me, really. I’m in no particular rush, I just want to see gradual improvement until the day I hit my goal.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10: 297.5 lbs (-0.6) … Feeling good, had a great run this morning. 41 minutes of running straight with no walk breaks, a record for me. (Couch to 5k Week 8 Day 3 completed).

10/11: 301.1 lbs (+3.6) … oof. I blame dinner out. Was in budget, but it was more food (and more carbs) than I usually eat.

10/12: 299.2 lbs (-1.9) … down a bit again. Spent 5 hours today taking care of leaves in the yard. I’m sure I burned a lot of calories.

10/13: 298.1 lbs (-1.1) … down a bit more. Sore from yesterday, I took it pretty easy.

10/14: 299.0 lbs (+0.9) … up a little. Really not making any progress weight-wise this round. Maybe that’ll change in the last leg. I’ve been putting off my run due to soreness from Saturday’s yardwork. I’ll get out there and do it tomorrow morning.

10/15: 295.9 lbs (-3.1) … whee. A new low, by a bit over a pound. This puts me just below my goal for the round, but who knows if I’ll be able to hold onto it. I’m kind of cheating, as about a pound of that was from giving blood yesterday. Completed Couch to 5k Week 9 Day 1 this morning, running 3 miles.

10/16: 297.4 lbs (+1.5) … an expected uptick, as I weighed after running last time and sweated buckets during that session.

10/17: 297.3 lbs (-0.1) … This morning it was dark, pouring, and 35 degrees out. Pushed my run back a day… hopefully the weather will be more cooperative tomorrow.

10/18: 297.0 lbs (-0.3) … Down a little more. I’m happy to share that last night the weather was better after work and I got my run in then. I was frustrated to have got off schedule, so I’m really glad that wound up not being the case.

10/19: 297.1 lbs (+0.1) … I’m glad to see my weight holding steady for a few days. I feel like it’s been fluctuating wildly for a long time now. Had my morning run and in doing so I completed Couch to 5k Week 9 Day 3 -- last run of the program!

Ready for my round 29
OSW 88KG
RSW 63.4kg (-24.6 kg) or {- 54.2 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started and lose the gain from the last 2 rounds

10/10 63.7kg not worried about this blip as food and exercise were both good. It'll come off soon
10/11 62.1kg...it's coming off! Can't wait to be back in the 61s and keep going down. The weekend should not derail me as I have a quiet one in mind.
10/12 61.15kg which is a new low and a very happy me!
10/13 61.35kg still lower than last week! Had a major snack on sunflower seeds yesterday which put me over cals so I expect this isn't the end of the gains. But that's over with and I'm going to be very strict for the week ahead.
10/14 61.85kg disappointing but fair after Saturday over calories and the total absence of movement yesterday. Heading to the gym this morning
10/15 61.4kg 100%on point yesterday! Now to do the same for the rest of this week... Month and year!
10/16 61.15kg and was totally on it again yesterday. Gym for strength training later today then I'm going on a 24hr trip so will not weigh tomorrow... Just got to keep it off!
10/17 DNW had a few drinks yesterday but food all good and within calories
10/18 60.15kg...I had plenty of TMI issues yesterday which might be the cause of this loss! Going to try to keep it off regardless of what caused it. Trip to the gym planned this morning
10/19 60.55kg which is much more realistic after my ongoing too much TMI issues! I always blip up after a big drop so I'm not worried. Gym was so great yesterday and today will be filled with gentle walking!

Total loss for the round 2.85kg {6.3 lbs}

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10: 230.8 - got my workout in yesterday but didn't eat the best. I keep forgetting to log my calories and I need to be on top of that.

10/11: 230.8 - so close to the 220's I can taste it. I just can't seem to get over that hump but I will. I haven't done well this past week and I'm sure that's why.

10/12: NWT - forgot to take my weight first thing this morning. I definitely went over my calories last night. I'll get back on the ball and work off those calories.

10/13: NWT

10/14: 234.4 - It was my sister's birthday yesterday and I partied with her so I expected this.

10/15: 233.6 - I feel myself getting sick. Haven't worked out in a few days. Ugh.

10/16: 232.6 - yup I'm definitely sick and I'm hating it. I feel myself getting worse and I'm not looking forward to nursing this cold.

10/17: 231.2 - I hate being sick.

10/18: NWT

10/19: 229 - didn't work out all week and have been sick. I'm happy the scale dropped but I wish I could have been more active this week.

Total loss this round = 1.2 lbs

53, 5'9 ~ BW: 280 (JAN 2018)
UGW: 170-180 (JAN 2020)

R89 SW: 221.0 ~ EW: 213.6 (-7.4)
R90 SW: 213.0 ~ EW: 211.0 (-2.0)
R91 SW: 211.0 ~ EW: 220.1 (+9.1)
R92 SW: 219.4 ~ EW: 215.4 (-4.0)

THE PLAN: (no matter what) is to stretch/rebound daily, weight conditioning (including body weight exercises) 4-7/10 days, Walking 30+ mins 5-8/10 days, prepare most meals 6-8/10 and try to keep mixing it up! I need to remember it's a lifestyle not a diet, and get back to creating new habits.

10/10 ~ 219.4 - Checked all the boxes, w/ total 85 mins exercise / 896 cals burned
10/11 ~ 217.2 - 1st woosh in weeks! (s/r, walking and belly work; 47 mins / 432 cals)
10/12 ~ 215.9 - feeling lazy after late night; gonna have to push not to sit on my assets all day.
10/13 ~ 215.6 - REST DAY. Checked all the boxes yesterday (115 m / 781 cals), but was too sore to do anything other than stretch today. Meeting friends later and will try to make good choices, but definitely having @ least one glass of wine. Have a great week all!
10/14 ~ 216.2 - dinner cancelled last night so got some exercise (50 mins / 314 cals) and prepared all my meals. However in lieu of alcohol, ruined it w/ too many chips and chocolate LNS watching the last 3 Power episodes!!!! Got in a great 50min HIIT workout and plenty of movement today to make up for it though!
10/15 ~ 215.9 - was hoping for a bigger drop, but been eating higher amounts of sugar than usual past few days ... totally feel like I'm PMSing but w/out the flow.
10/16 ~ 216.7!! - bloated for no good reason. Because of lack of sleep? Tired and cranky but (15 mins s/r and 20 min walk)
10/17 ~ DNW - working out and eating well, but the scale is on emotional pause until Saturday.

10/18 ~ WNW - 215.2 (was away from home and on a different scale. Didn't believe it though, lol)

10/19 ~ 215.4 - Happy to be back @ my lowest weight this cycle, but facing another weekend!

Day 26 of 100 Days Met all my goals except rebounding everyday. The yoga and body weight exercises have revealed just how out of shape I really am! Now I'm officially "back on the wagon", I'm noticing/feeling the effects of losing /regaining the same 10-20lbs 3 or 4 times. While I'm definitely stronger and more flexible than a year ago, in some ways I feel just as fat and weak as the beginning. So along with monitoring the weight and inches, I plan to add a much needed fitness assessment to truly chart my progress.

Onwards and downwards fitfam!! Have a great weekend everyone. See you next round.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10 195.6 (+.6)/ 28.8% (+.1%) ate some feelings yesterday. No motivation or energy to work out today. It is what it is.

10/11 195.6 (+/-0) / 28.8% (+/- 0%) not what I expected for a pretty horrible dinner and dessert last night. But I’ll take it.

10/12 195.5 (-.1) / 28.7% (-.1%) thought I had a good day yesterday. Apparently not good enough. Ate good, worked out good, stayed away from sweets especially late at night. Guess we’ll see what tomorrow brings from today.

10/13 didn’t weigh in today.

10/14 195.8 (+.3) / 28.8% (+.1%) not too bad did the type of weekend I had

10/15 195.6 (-.2) / 28.7% (-.1%) been an interesting long weekend. Didn’t hit the gym at all the past few days (which is super unusual for me) But I’ll take this number. Well see how this week pans out to close out this challenge.

10/16 194.8 (-.8)/ 28.6% (-.1%) Wednesday’s are usually good days for me since I play soccer twice a week before this weigh in.

10/17 197.4 (+2.6) / 29.0% (+.4%) apparently eating better and working out isnt doing much good. I’ve had one of the better weeks I’ve had in a long time as far as eating and working out but not over doing it. I’ve gotten decent sleep something that rarely happens, yet I’m more tired than ever. All for what?? Extremely frustrated and annoyed. 2 and a half months in, it shouldn’t be this flippy floppy. Starting to question a lot.

10/18 195.8 (-1.6) / 28.8% (-.2%) no feelings towards this number. It can change in an instant. Someone recently told me they can see a difference in that I’m getting my figure Back. Or maybe I look smaller to them. Guess that’s what I have to go off of. I need more than just that one person telling me for my confidence to go up. But getting there

10/19 195.2 (-.6) / 28.7% (-.1%)

10/10 - 195.2! Starting strong makes me happy. So great to be at the lowest weight I've seen on the scale in over two years! Managed to get bacj to the gym today after way too much time away, so feeling proud of myself for that. Didnt do an excellent job with food, didn't have much of an appetite so didn't eat a lot. Will try to reach my calorie goals tomorrow. Usually a low appetite day is followed by a high appetite day, so tomorrow's challenge will probably be to not go over calories
10/11 - 195.8! Not too surprising, I feel like I usually get an up after I don't eat a lot. It's counterintuitive but I think maybe I lose appetite from bloating or water retention that causes it, or maybe I make worse choices when I eat less bc I feel like I deserve a high calorie meal for dinner since I barely ate breakfast or lunch. Anyway, no worries... Headed out of town this afternoon
10/12 - out of town. went to a famous Brewery last night and just drank water and had a salad while my friends had tons of beer and pizza, felt pretty proud. Went tubing on a river for a few hours which was great fun, again just drank water while everyone else had beer. Didn't eat v much today, still dont have much appetite.
10/13 - out of town. We went wine tasting today, only drank at one winery, had two glasses of wine for the day. Otherwise, ate pretty healthy all day.
10/14 - 198... Pretty disappointed because I feel like I ate well during our weekend away and I didn't partake in any of the junk food, but still have gone up. Trying not to beat myself up, it's hopefully mostly water retention from salty foods all week plus starting my TOM. Exercised hard today, sticking to food goals and hoping to get lots of work done
10/15 - 197! Dropping the water weight, slowly but surely. Work was insane today, didn't manage to exercise but power walked from meetings all across campus, so still got lots of steps in.
10/16 - 196.6! Feeling hopeful as I get closer to my start weight. Went back to the gym today, but only had time to do cardio then back to another crazy work day.
10/17 - 196! Yay, coming down! Crazy day at work... Looks like things will be nuts till Thanksgiving. Hopefully I can stay healthy enough to handle the stress. Immune system usually tanks w stress but I'm hoping eating well and exercising will help. Now if I could just make myself sleep better, I have such trouble staying asleep even when I try different things the doctor has advised
10/18 - 194.4! Wow, a dip! Hopefully it's not temporary. Got a good workout in this morning, but then get a migraine and had to work from home.
10/19 - 194.2! Yay! Still down! Finishing the challenge with a loss. We have a birthday party to go to tonight, I hope to eat beforehand and just have water and maybe one glass of wine there so I don't negate my progress this week. I feel like one splurge and I spend all week recovering from the gains. I want to learn from that and I'm feeling good about myself and confident that I can do it.

Total Loss During Challenge: 1.6lbs!!!

My plan for R92 is to remain focused, log and track properly and see a loss of 1-2lb....

Our kitchen is coming out this weekend as our new open plan space (lounge, kitchen and dining room) needs to be completely emptied out in preparation for the floor being laid and the new kitchen being delivered so next week will be a challenge food wise but I have a plan ...... Just need to stick to it!

Start Weight 137.9lb

10/10 - 138.9lb (+1.0lb) Was about 100 calories over yesterday but it was salty popcorn so this is basically just water retention and nothing more. Hubby away for a few days and my youngest wanted to sit and watch something on TV together and decided to bring in a bowl of popcorn to snuggle up with - how can anyone resist that offer! Enjoyed the popcorn obviously but no where near as much as the hour spent snuggled on the sofa with my daughter Some days life is sssooo good

10/11 - DNW
10/12 - DNW

10/13 - 138.2lb (-0.7lb)
10/14 - 137.8lb (-0.4lb) Very happy with this after a weekend. Although not a normal weekend. Went to the gym Saturday morning while the girls were at cheerleading practice, then spent the rest of the weekend emptying out the kitchen cupboards and getting rid of all the units ready for the floor this week. Meant I was pretty active all weekend and no big family roast last night. Kitchen-less now - new one gets delivered next Tuesday but still then has to be fitted but I should have my oven back up and running by the weekend
So slow cooker chilli prepped for tonight with microwave rice ......... Going to be tough to stay on plan this week but my weigh in this morning keeps my motivation up!
Have a great week

10/15 - 137.3lb (-0.5lb) Happy with this mornings drop. Food planned and prepped for today around the floor laying and gym session tonight so should be another good day

10/16 - 136.8lb (-0.5lb) Same again and very happy Final screed floor covering being laid today so still no kitchen so we are eating out tonight to give us a night off of preparing meals on a single chopping board and washing up in the bathroom sink
Intention is there to stick to plan (with the steak, jacket potato and salad bar option and avoiding the chips and desserts) but meals out are generally higher in salt and I will probably have a glass of wine. Being good all day and having light meals to conteract this as far as I can. Have a good day everyone

10/17 - 138.0lb (+1.2lb) As expected after eating out last night so I know why and I know alot of this gain will go over the next day or so. Was fairly good last night although did end up having a bit of Chocolate brownie as they brought an extra one to our table by mistake so my husband and I ended up sharing it! All back on plan today and gym tonight so its all good

10/18 - 136.6lb (-1.4lb) whoosh plus a bit after dinner out on Wednesday

10/19 - 135.4lb (-0.2lb) And a bit more. Been a good week 😊 Having no kitchen has meant I have had to be very organised and planned what we are eating all week... Keep losing like this and I may postpone getting new kitchen delivered 😂
Have a great weekend

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 -181.4 – Halfway to the top of my goal range! That’s just the motivation I need this round as work demands ramp up and it gets harder to fit in the things I need to do to stay on track. Student conferences ate up most of my time today, but I fixed a few quick meals to stay within my calorie limits.
10/11 – 180.8 – Nice to see a drop going into the weekend. Heading off for a quiet weekend of hiking and wineries with my husband. Leaving my computer at home and bringing a novel from my long TBR list.
10/12 – DNW – Watkins Glen, NY. Walked down the North Ridge (Indian Trail) and up the 832 steps of the Gorge Trail in light rain, carrying a daypack, without much difficulty. Three years ago, I was getting winded just walking up to my third-floor classrooms! I think I earned my winery lunch 😊
10/13 – DNW – Gorgeous autumn day! Got up early to hit the Gorge Trail again before the crowds. Cut over after the waterfalls and looped down on the South Ridge. After lunch (and another winery), we walked the Ravine and Gorge Trails in the Finger Lakes National Forest. No big waterfalls, but we had the trails virtually to ourselves. Worked up an appetite – I’m sure I ate (and drank) back all my exercise calories!
10/14 – DNW – Travel day. Up before dawn to get back in time for my afternoon class. Feeling a little stiff, but my DH drove most of the way and I enjoyed watching the sunrise over the misty countryside. Feeling restored!
10/15 – 185.0 – Whoa! That’s some bounce! Salt? Alcohol? Inflammation? Probably some of each, plus eating over my calorie allowance for a few days. Back on track this morning to turn this around. Catching up on posts and grading as well. NSV: wearing my tees tucked in without feeling self-conscious 😊
10/16 – 183.0 – Headed back down. We’re getting some badly needed rain today, so I’m focusing on getting some grading done. Logging and calorie goals met.
10/17 – 182.4 – Not quite back to where I was at the beginning of the round, but I’m moving in the right direction. Another busy day with a workshop and extended office hours, but I got my exercise in doing some serious housework. Food was mostly a series of snacks rather than regular meals today, but I kept an eye on my goals for the day (including logging it all) and made pretty good choices.
10/18 – 182.4 – Busy day, followed by a lovely evening sitting around the firepit drinking spiked mulled cider under the stars. Finally feels like autumn! Logged everything (including the pumpkin cake I had for dessert) and stayed within my calorie limit, so today feels like a win, even if I’m up tomorrow.
10/19 – 182.4 – Well, it is what it is. The last two rounds were better than expected, and
I had a lovely long weekend away this round, so I’m not going to stress.

On to Round 93!

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10 116.8 Nice - drop at the start! Of course, seems that happens a lot and then it bounces back up and I struggle to get back to the start lol! Can’t complain as getting closer to initial goal weight! Strength/weights with trainer and cardio today (step class had a new instructor!), and pasta for dinner tonight - smoked eggplant/peppers with cavatappi and smoked mozzarella. Need to go test wines for a work function after dinner so banked calories so that the wine is ok a al IIFIYM.


10/11 118 Not surprised! Weight training + cardio + pasta + wine (tasting + 1.5 glasses and additional food as I was hungry) likely all led to some water retention and my weight loss is not linear at all. I have decided that I really need to increase my calories above 1400 to closer to 1600 so that I am losing at a slower rate (1.34lb current to .5lb) for the last 12 pounds here. I have been shooting for under 1200-1300 as I usually eat lunch out or may not have verified calorie data, but based on realized losses looks like tracking is pretty accurate so can get closer to target. Other reasons: 1) With lifting this last week, I have been hungrier, so listening to my body cues. 2) Not sure if losing slower ultimately preserves more muscle mass (given that my bf is around 28-29%), but more protein with the increased calories may help build more muscle mass and maybe BMR will not drop as much (getting BMR retested in November) plus more carbs can help fuel cardio (still in a deficit though) 3) help with skin adopting to fat loss - most of the fat left is on my lower belly and hips. After a twin pregnancy have lots of stretched out lower belly skin so maybe with a slower loss rate won;t have a baggy tummy (given age may not be avoidable) Building muscle could help fill out some of the space lost to fat. Will monitor and tweak as needed [went over 1600 last night, so hoping that is primarily water or muscle lol]

NSV: Can now wear a pair of small pants that I bought on sale when I was losing weight after the twins were born, but never got weight all the way down to fit! And they are almost too big!

10/12 117.8 Going back down even with the increase in calories!!! Rest day today! Body needs it after workouts this week and have to spend a good part of today driving to the coast and back to move the boat from the boatyard to the marina. Unfortunately won;t have time to stay and sail, so activity level will be low (sorry Apple Watch Challenge team #coreslight, but will be back at full speed tomorrow!) Hopefully some walking and core work later on just to close all my rings!

10/13 118.4 Effects of being in the car for lots of yesterday? New calorie regime? In any case not out of the norm… Did Xtrain this morning and increased power to rate ratio from previous work, so nice to see that as weight is going down. (Watts are increasing as well, which is even better) Strength workout late afternoon - new PR on deadlift of 105 lbs and was able to do 5 reps at 70 lbs on bench-press.

10/14 116.4 Whoosh! New low!!! Now to see if that will hang around until the end of the round :-) Liking the new calorie levels, but need to make sure that I eat more in the morning and have pre-planned snacks for work ! Spin class tonight for cardio.

10/15 116.4 Held it! Morning was strength training with trainer, and followed up with 30 minutes of HIIT on spin bike with one minute intervals of all out at peak heart rate, followed by up to a minute recovery until HR dropped to 65% of max. Went back for evening Interval hour class so more cardio and interval exercises with medicine ball - great workout. Did much better with spacing out snacks and meals today, with increase of protein throughout the day to help strength training. Starting zig-zag on calories so total was up today for strength training.

10/16 115.8 OK probably water loss as lots of cardio yesterday, but calories were up for the day. Will see if that holds - don’t expect it to as trend line prediction is 116.4 based on Happy Scale, so may see some more bouncing for a couple of days. In any case, thrilled to see a new low and with progress should be able to hold in the 115’s in a week or so. Will have spin class this evening after work, so prepared snacks to be fueled for class!

10/17 115.4 OK surprised, but hey maybe this is a benefit of increasing calories/ protein throughout the day ?!? %BF is down to 27.8 and skeletal muscle increased to 42.1 %. Refueled after spin class with pasta and a sauce with ground duck sausage and smoked mozzarella. Hit food calories on the nose yesterday, but still had a 599 calorie deficit for the day from tracking with the watch, so may need to increase food a bit more (will monitor). Today was step class, strength training with trainer, and then I did HIIT intervals on the spin bike for 30 minutes, so higher food calories today as it is a strength day. Hoping to hang out in the 115’s if possible for the rest of the round!

10/18 115.6 Yeah!!!! Staying in the 115’s. May be a challenge to stay here tomorrow as I have old friends coming into town and we will be having drinks/appetizers at a friends house before will all go out for dinner (Greek; checked out the menu and looks like good choices). With this group there is usually a lot of wine, which should be IIFIYM in moderation! The bigger challenge is that DH’s brother is coming into town this evening so more challenges over the weekend ahead! I am not going to worry about the calories but take time to enjoy being with friends! With the current exercise regime my body can handle it and any bump up is likely going to be from sodium with eating out/water retention than real weight gain. Going to express spin class at 12:30 (should be well fueled for this after dinner last night) and and maybe a quick arm workout before for biceps/triceps or other muscles that were not targeted in training yesterday if I can fit that in over lunch.

10/19 115.8 Made round goal weight of 116 or less! On track given increased calories approaching goal weight (10.8 lbs to go!)

My plan for R92 is to remain focused, log and track properly and see a loss of 1-2lb....

Our kitchen is coming out this weekend as our new open plan space (lounge, kitchen and dining room) needs to be completely emptied out in preparation for the floor being laid and the new kitchen being delivered so next week will be a challenge food wise but I have a plan ...... Just need to stick to it!

Start Weight 137.9lb

10/10 - 138.9lb (+1.0lb) Was about 100 calories over yesterday but it was salty popcorn so this is basically just water retention and nothing more. Hubby away for a few days and my youngest wanted to sit and watch something on TV together and decided to bring in a bowl of popcorn to snuggle up with - how can anyone resist that offer! Enjoyed the popcorn obviously but no where near as much as the hour spent snuggled on the sofa with my daughter Some days life is sssooo good

10/11 - DNW
10/12 - DNW

10/13 - 138.2lb (-0.7lb)
10/14 - 137.8lb (-0.4lb) Very happy with this after a weekend. Although not a normal weekend. Went to the gym Saturday morning while the girls were at cheerleading practice, then spent the rest of the weekend emptying out the kitchen cupboards and getting rid of all the units ready for the floor this week. Meant I was pretty active all weekend and no big family roast last night. Kitchen-less now - new one gets delivered next Tuesday but still then has to be fitted but I should have my oven back up and running by the weekend
So slow cooker chilli prepped for tonight with microwave rice ......... Going to be tough to stay on plan this week but my weigh in this morning keeps my motivation up!
Have a great week

10/15 - 137.3lb (-0.5lb) Happy with this mornings drop. Food planned and prepped for today around the floor laying and gym session tonight so should be another good day

10/16 - 136.8lb (-0.5lb) Same again and very happy Final screed floor covering being laid today so still no kitchen so we are eating out tonight to give us a night off of preparing meals on a single chopping board and washing up in the bathroom sink
Intention is there to stick to plan (with the steak, jacket potato and salad bar option and avoiding the chips and desserts) but meals out are generally higher in salt and I will probably have a glass of wine. Being good all day and having light meals to conteract this as far as I can. Have a good day everyone

10/17 - 138.0lb (+1.2lb) As expected after eating out last night so I know why and I know alot of this gain will go over the next day or so. Was fairly good last night although did end up having a bit of Chocolate brownie as they brought an extra one to our table by mistake so my husband and I ended up sharing it! All back on plan today and gym tonight so its all good

10/18 - 136.6lb (-1.4lb) whoosh plus a bit after dinner out on Wednesday

10/19 - 135.4lb (-0.2lb) And a bit more. Been a good week 😊 Having no kitchen has meant I have had to be very organised and planned what we are eating all week... Keep losing like this and I may postpone getting new kitchen delivered 😂
Have a great weekend

10/20- 134.1lb (-1.3lb)Wow not sure where this came from.... But happy to take it. Did eat well yesterday and also worked out at the gym in the morning.
So overall loss this round is 3.8lb which I am so pleased with and would like to stay on this round to be honest as seesm to be a good one 😉

@Anabirgite What fruits are in your “diuretic” fruit salad?

Cantaloupe ( #1) is the one of the best fruits for being a diuretic, Watermelon also is wonderful but not n season... Raspberries, blackberries and blueberries were included...not fancy but delicious and and going with my multicolor fruit and veggie theme this month.

At the last few pounds, and have been bouncing all over the place. seem to be defying the laws of physics. Goal for October to eat 5 servings (80g) fruits/ vegetables of different colors every day.

Good luck everyone!!



10th Oct: 120.6- Spin Day- Shocked I am starting at a low, went to the last Beer/Wine walk last night and enjoyed the appetizers. Our husbands joined us and we went to fewer restaurants and beer theme not my favorite so may have worked in my weight loss favor.
11th Oct: 119.8 Have been bouncing around for 3 weeks from 122.8 to 120, can not believe I have broken the floor of 120. Heading to Body Pump this morning after enjoying my oatmeal smoothie bowl. Ate more than 7 servings of fruits and veggies and 100 grams of protein yesterday, yeah...
12th Oct:120.2 Not bad- since I hit a low yesterday...tomorrow will be the real test as we are going tailgating this afternoon- no good will happen there I am sure- But lots of fun! Probably take me all week to recover- trying to mentally prepare for tomorrows scale number- Did go to body pump- Had my oatmeal smoothie bowl, and planning on leftover ratatouille for lunch. Do not want be ravished when I get there.
13th Oct:121.8- To be expected..Had a great time at ND/USC tailgate. Tons of people tons of food and even though I was drinking 100 calorie hard cider they still add up. My apple watch actually turned on and asked me if I was working out walking from where we parked to the tailgate. I should check to see if it was a mile. Well, ate with reckless abandon and will spend all week correcting - but this is life enjoy ing each moment and accepting the consequences. Did go to body pump before and did a 3 mile walk in preparation- I made horrible Tiramisu brownies (had to throw away)- I am so out of practice baking, not cooked all the way thru but did sample too much of those too.
14th Oct:121.6 Starting my slow trek downward- I hope to be back to my low last week or 2 ounces lower by end of week. Went to body pump today and walked the dog twice. Fall is coming quick here and the cool weather has begun. I am not sure I will be getting 2 walks in much longer. Also ate all my fruits and veggies in every color... Love Fall veggies.
15th Oct: 120.2- Well bloat came off faster then usual, made a fruit salad for my girlfriends meeting yesterday- lots of diuretic fruit seems selfish but everyone enjoyed. Spin Day, going to try to get to class early so can get several extra miles in.
16th Oct:120.2
17th Oct:120.0
18th Oct:121.0
19th Oct:120.6 Ended with TOM last 4 days- working with my doctors to induce menopause - fail this quarter will try again. Massive migraine last 4 days, a little relief today maybe a 4-5, but up and down on weight to be expected and not related to food consumption

Day/Weight/Comment

10/10-204.2: Yay!!! So excited about this loss! I'm trying not to be so strict with my food because it's driving me crazy. I said screw it yesterday and had some chips. My breakfast and lunch are always good and for dinner I had chicken fajitas with a little avocado and sour cream. Had this all home made and didn't add any bread to it. My water game still isn't where I want it to be, but I'm working on it. I did get in the gym last night And it's been getting easier to go. Hardest part for me is how tired I feel after work. I won't be home until late tonight, so not sure if I'll go, but I will be getting a lot of walking in.

10/11-204.2: Annoyed, but also happy it's not going up. I had to leave work a little early yesterday to go to the Lotto office (I won $1,000 on a scratcher! ) and from there I decided to stop by the Outlets since it was in the area. I walked A LOT at the mall. And I was also so hungry (not good) and had a sample of bourbon chicken at the food court which sold me on getting a plate. I ate a little and felt full so packed the rest and kept walking. I got an iced water and headed home, but got hungry again and started munching on my leftovers. Was hoping to be down at least a baby bit, come on scale make it an even 204 dammit >:(
I'm just nervous. Driving out to see my friend tomorrow and she has no filter with food anymore and I don't want to go down that rabbit hole again. And it's like if you do eat less and try to be healthy they question you and guilt trip you into "come on lets have pizza and wine and chips and chocolate." Or maybe it's just my friends that are sucky like that. Kind of why I've been losing a lot of friends lately. You start to see their true colors. Anyways, happy Friday!!

10/12-205: Ugh! I did this to myself. I brought Armenian pizza to work for everyone. It's not as heavy as regular pizza, think of like a tortilla with some ground beef and cut up veggies on it and it's thing. I'm mad at myself because I was hungry and caved in and had 3 It was Friday night so I went out with my parents and had half a margarita and some chips and salsa. I didn't have much, but still.

10/13-DNW Was in Irvine spending the night at my friends so didn't get home until the afternoon. Made the mistake of having pancakes and has browns with my sausage and bacon at Dennys. I'm blaming the hormones right now.

10/14-206.4: I thought I had ditched 206, but here I am >:( More pissed at myself. I saw my friend over the weekend and we munched, but I still did pretty good. Last night I went to Souplantation and kinda let loose. Nothing too wild, but I should have had more salads and no pasta or baked potato. Also doesn't help it's been a few days since I last went to the gym.


10/15-206.2: Ugh it's down, but not by much Kind of like a slap in the face by my scale. Think because it's my TOM I'm bloated and all over the place. Trying to just take it easy these next couple days. I didn't go to the gym last night because I felt really nauseated at work and it just didn't go away. Not sure if it's from something I ate or what, but just tried laying in bed instead. Seeing my bf tonight and mad at myself for forgetting to grab my scale. I know I sound kookoochoo but his scale sucks and I don't trust it and I like just having an idea of where I'm at each day ESPECIALLY after hanging out with him. We will most likely go to the gym together tonight and he has been trying to get me back on track.

10/16-DNW: Good thing is I'm not feeling as bloated today, but no idea what I'm at weight wise today. No gym last night. Got to bf's house feeling bleh. We wen't to Lucille's last night for dinner, but I honestly just had some bites of things and will have some of my leftovers for lunch today. Back on it starting tomorrow with my healthy eating and working out. These TOM pains are killing me! Also, and this cracks me up, bf got me a "Get *kitten* Done" notebook to use for logging my workouts at the gym. He knows I already log everything on MFP, but thought it would help me want to keep track and he wrote once I get 20 gym sessions in he will take me to my favorite, SUSHI! We joked about how I'd push myself to go to the gym more if it meant I get sushi. I know it's bad to reward yourself with food, but my sushi obsession is kinda of out of this world. Pros, it will keep me motivated and also this way we won't go as often and only when I push myself to workout more. I'm laughing at myself about this, but also kind of excited

10/17-205.4: I'm honestly surprised. Happy to be down almost a pound! I ate okay yesterday and was in too much pain to make it to the gym, but I did push myself to at least walk the dog, so I got in some activity there. I don't want to be too strict on myself right now. I hate starting fresh and then knowing I have plans on the weekend and then I have to start fresh all over again. I'm just trying to make good choices and overcome this weekend. Going to see my cousin tomorrow and have a little girl's/spooky movie night at her place. Really got to get in the gym tonight though, it's been too long.

10/18-205.2 Happy it went down, but not by much. Didn't get in the gym last night. I keep getting home late and I can barely keep my eyes open. Seeing my cousin tonight for some much needed girl time. I know I keep putting things off Thinking of working out in the morning instead tomorrow since it will be the weekend and also thinking of doing a Disneyland day on Sunday with my cousin to get some walking in. Everyone on here is so nice and motivated. I need more people like MFP family in my life

10/19-205: Not bad, let's hope this gradual loss continues.

After Thanksgiving weekend and all the festivities are done I'm regaing control. This can't go on.... I miss eating healthy and working out anyway.. I haven't felt this s**tty in a long time...

Day/Weight/Comment
10/10 -207.2 When I woke up this morning the heaviness in my gut from eating something that I was sensitive to was mainly gone. So I'm not surprised that there was a drop on the scale this morning. My gut is not 100%, but it definitely feels much better. I'm proud of myself that over the last few days when I wasn't feeling great, I still stuck with my diet and exercise even though I didn't want to. Workout with strength coach was tough yesterday. It's supposed to be a great sunny fall day today, so plan is to go for a run after work.
10/11 -207.6 Went to the gym this morning and got my run in yesterday. I had a great salad for lunch today.
10/12 -207.6
10/13 -207.6 Yesterday I took the dog out for a quick trail hike before going to meet the in-laws for lunch. We went out for pizza and I had 1/2 of the pizza for lunch and took the rest home for dinner. We then went out for dessert and I had a great piece of gf olive oil cake. Going to see strength coach today and may see a movie later...no popcorn!
10/14 -207.6 Wow, same weight for 4 days in a row. Went out for a great 5.5 mile trail walk with hubby and the dog today. It was a gorgeous crisp, sunny fall day with the leaves changing colour. My husband is baking apple tartlets today.
10/15 -207.6 Day 5 at this weight. A part of me is fascinated to see how long the scale can stay at this weight and the other part is frustrated. I may go out and do my C25K tonight depending on if the weather holds up, rain is supposed to start tonight and last for the next couple of days. I'm going for my body fat scan today, it's been four months since the last one, so it should be interesting to see the results especially since the scale appears to be stuck.
10/16 -207.0 There's the change. Strength coach tonight.
10/17 -207.8 I had a great workout yesterday with my coach. There is an exercise that I hate to do and last week when I had to do it I wasn't a very happy person and I was a little difficult. Yesterday, I knew I would be doing the same hated exercise, but instead of telling myself how much I hated it and complainng about it to my coach, I changed my attitude and told myself to just get it done. In the end, doing the exercise wasn't as horrible and actually seemed easier than last week.

I only include the last 5 rounds, but have been doing these challenges since round 58. Still trying to get into the 130's. It is proving to be a lot tougher than I ever imagined, but I am going to continue trying. Maybe we will do it this next 10 days!

Goal: No weight higher than 144.9 and see 140/141 at least 50% of the time on the scale.


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 down3.3 Avg 144.99
Round 90: 143.7 - 140.9 down 2.8 Avg 142.68
Round 91: 140.9 - 143.6 up 2.7 Avg 143.62

10/10 - 142.9 I am slightly annoyed this am. I have been really good, even through my 3 day weekend. I should be lower than this. I guess I will just keep going and hopefully I see a whoosh sometime in the near future. It seems like I can not get past 142/143 for the life of me. My maintenance is within 5 pounds of where I am today, but at the rate I am going I may not be there till next year, lol. Maybe tomorrow I will see a nice drop, I am on track for today and not going to self sabotage. This is just the way it goes sometimes.

10/11 - 141.4 Nice little drop. My lowest last week was 141.5 for 2 days and 140.9 for 3 days the week before that, so maybe I can hold onto it this time. Really going to try and work hard this weekend. My daughter is having her wisdom teeth out this morning and then I have to work this afternoon, so it's just going to be one of those days. No fast food! No fast food! That will be my goal today.

10/12 - 142.3 I’m ok with this. Had a couple of drinks last night with dinner, but food was on point. So this should go back down as long as I stay on track today. The weekends are my downfall. I only ate 310 calories all day yesterday until dinner because I knew I was going to have a couple of drinks with our meal. So I should have still been within my limits.

10/13 - 143.6 This is the rest of last night I guess. Will try and stay on track this weekend. Making myself be really good the rest of the month to lose these last couple of pounds.

10/14 - 142.8 Not bad for a Monday weigh-in. My best one so far. Halfway through this round and so far I am feeling really good about my progress. I have pretty much stayed the same and not had any crazy fluctuations. We will see what happens the next couple of days. I really am expecting a good loss soon.

10/15 - 142.3 Was under calories again. Having some TMI issues this morning, so maybe that's why I am stalling. I have been working really hard to see a nice drop the last couple of weeks, but have just been stuck within the same couple of pounds. I miss the days where I would get a 1 or 2 pound drop in a 10 day challenge. Now it seems like it is a couple of ounces here and there. Granted that was 40 pounds ago, but a nice big whoosh would be amazing. Oh well, I guess I should be happy that I am so close to my goal weight and just keep working at it. Maybe tomorrow I will see a new low.

10/16 - 140.9 Finally! Back down to my lowest weight and what I ended last month on. Have had to fight to get back down to it. Was under calories again yesterday, but did have 2 light beers with dinner. Really wanting to break through and see a new low. On track for today and hoping to be good tonight. 3 more days to go, fingers and toes crossed!

10/17 - 140.9 I am shocked it did not go back up. Happy with it today, but ready to see a new low. Was under calories again yesterday, but had a couple of light beers with dinner again. I think this is what is stalling my progress. Even though I am working them into my calories, it's just empty calories and maybe dehydrating me a bit or something. No alcohol till Sunday for the Cowboys game at all! Maybe I will see a drop by Saturday if I do that.

10/18 - 141.5 Well I definitely did not expect a darn gain this morning. I had no alcohol last night and didn't allow myself to have a dessert with everyone else. Still have not seen a new low, but so far I have succeeded in both of my goals I set for myself this round and my trend is down almost 2 pounds so far this month. One more weigh in tomorrow and maybe I will see what I have been waiting for. If not I guess we will look for it in round 93.

10/19 - 141.5 Well pretty much maintained again this round. I don't know if I will ever see the 130's, but all I can do is continue trying. My 10 day average is down a little more and I made both of my goals for this round, so onto the next one!

@jenn990205 You got this!! NEVER GIVE UP! I wish I had a condensed version of the 4 months it took me to get through the 140s! Stick to it!
