Ready for my round 31
OSW 88KG
RSW 60.5 kg (-27.5kg) or {- 60.5 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
10/30 60.15kg all went well yesterday until a few nuts in the evening. Still under maintenance calories but over goal. 45 mins strength training done in the gym but no aerobics later as still injured.
10/31 60.15kg and a perfect calorie, macro and exercise day yesterday.
11/01 60.7kg getting under 60kg is taking time... But I'll get there. Gym done this morning but injury getting worse.
11/02 59.95kg back down here. Have to rest the injury but can do upper body training in the gym next week. Going to keep on with what I'm doing but be very mindful of calories. Would love to see a new low this wknd
11/03 59.5kg but after the wknd indulgence I doubt it'll stick around for long! Impromptu party yesterday and I ate over calories but I still kept it Keto. Will not complain about future blips up next week but will be focusing on staying under calories.
11/04 59.9kg...no complaints! Been to the gym this morning but resting the leg
11/05 61.0kg...higher than expected but not complaining. A little TMI action would help! Was under calories yesterday so should see this come off by the weekend.
11/06 61.0kg still not complaining and I've been perfect on calories and macros the last 2 days so hoping that's the end of the rise. Could do with some TMI activity still! Been to the gym at 5am...ready for the day!
11/07 60.5 kg but it kept flicking to 60.15 but I'll save that for tomorrow 😁

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 – 180.2 – Happy to see this number again. I guess it’s not a fluke. Super busy day, so I ordered pizza when my older grandkids came over after a local Trunk-or-Treat event. Ate an extra slice, but still stayed under my calorie limit. Baked cupcakes for tomorrow - fortunately, cake is not really my thing – and will post some grades before calling it a night. Only one class tomorrow – woo hoo!
10/31 – 180.2 – Happy Halloween! Had a few small treats today, but didn’t go over my calorie limit. The rain is finally clearing out – looking forward to getting out and walking this weekend.
11/01 – 179.4 – First dip into the 170’s! And it’s another weekend – TGIF!. Nice family dinner with a couple of drinks that brought me up to maintenance calories, but I’m okay with that. I’ve learned that I can make mindful choices to go over sometimes and still keep moving in the right direction. And that’s a bigger win than any number on the scale.
11/02 – 179.8 – Little bounce to start the weekend. Relaxing brunch out with my hubby and takeout Japanese for an easy dinner. Taking the weekend off from counting, weighing, and logging what I eat and drink.
11/03 – 181.2 – And the birthday celebration weekend continues with a lovely party organized by my husband and daughter. Too many yummy things (including lots of my favorites) to count or pass up. Feeling grateful, contented, and a bit full.
11/04 – 180.8 – A productive Monday to follow a fun and relaxing weekend. Got 4 hours of grading done this morning while I ran some laundry through and straightened up around the house. With the time change, the sun was setting by the time I finished up after class. I’ll need to rework my schedule to fit my walking in. Party leftovers for dinner, but calories were good today.
11/05 – 180.0 – No bonfire tonight, but I celebrated turning 60 today with a long walk along the beach and a lunch date with my daughter. A light supper and just a small glass of wine after my evening class kept me on track. Logged and met my calorie goals too! My gift to myself this year is a stronger and healthier me. I think it’s going to be a wonderful year!
11/06 – 179.8 – Back on track and moving in the right direction. All goals met, including the walk!

SW Rnd94: 67,2kg
GW Rnd94: 66,7kg (-500gr)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 - 67,5 - still TOM. I wonder what my data is going to show in the end, it’s the first time I am tracking everything this well. So I am unbothered by the ups and downs. I feel sore but good. Excited for this new 10 day focus challenge.
10/31 - 66,7 - is this water flushed out post TOM ? Maybe (probably). Data inputted in my spreadsheets and feeling a bit lighter :-). Also took my measurements (twice a month) and got some nice losses there as well.
11/01 - 66,8 - walked a lot and worked out as well. Feeling tired but very good.
11/02 - 66,9 - meh, DOMS I imagine since my calories have not changed one iota in these last couple of days.
11/03 - 66,7 - going down a bit. Still wondering if it’s DOMS.
11/04 - 66,8 - alright, seems like I’m chillin’ over here for a bit. I’m ok with it since I feel leaner, I like how I eat, I have energy and I enjoy my workouts :-) all is good.
11/05 - 66,5 - nice :-) I decided to just spend energy on other activities and not caring about scale weight while it is clearly decreasing. I lifted weights yesterday, it felt goooood.
11/06 - 66,6 - trend is alright. I am seeing (I guess) what I wanted all along, which is eating more and a slower weight loss. This is fine :-)
11/07 - 66,9 - this is water retention I think. As my meals have not changed (well actually did add 100 cals to every day) and I have been slightly more active than last week. I am feeling a bit queasy as well, so that might be at play. Just gotta ride the wave and wait for trend to go back down.14 -

Goals
1 - Track my calories daily
2 - Run (or gym) 3x week
3 - Water 1.5l
4.- Stay on current weight or less
Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:
10/30 - 154.6 yesterday was a quiet day, it's nice being on holiday and not doing anything for once. My daughter has a lot of school projects so that's taking up most of our time. I'll be going to the gym later.
10/31 - 153.6That was a surprise, but I did complete a very good workout at the gym yesterday with 35 min interval run on the treadmill, a first for me but I really liked it, which I followed up with 20 min mild elliptical workout. Food was on track. Still got the migraines even though the sport helps so much with them; I'm hoping the treatment will kick in soon, it can take between 2 - 8 weeks to see if it works.
11/01 - 154.2
11/02 - 155.0
11/03 - 156.2
11/04 - 156.2, Sorry for not keeping up and posting lately, the last few days have been a never ending Halloween and dinners parties where I didn't track so I'm not surprised about this. Also I haven't been as active due to the migraines. Back at work so the routine is easier and I've planned my meals for the week and I've prepared a big batch of meals that I've frozen to help in the evenings when I get home too tired to cook. But at least I feel good about starting again. I've got 5 days to make it up so I'm going to really make an effort
11/05 - 155.6, 1214 cal, Busy day yesterday catching up after a week's holiday. I had to restrain myself as I took a drive through MacDonalds for my daughter for dinner (I just had coffee). I'm hoping I'll be able to go to the gym at lunch time but the office is very busy and I don't have time in the evenings. It's too cold and wet to run outside for me, it really aggravates my migraines so I'll be running on the treadmill until the weather improves.
11/06 - 155.4 lbs, 1166 cal, 10.492 steps
11/07 - 154.4 lbs, 1323 cal, 16.283 Steps, A good day yesterday, above on calories but had a +900 deficit as I went for a nice long run/walk in the evening. I'm going to the gym at lunch time for a short workout. I'm trying to get into the habit of working out a little (20-30 mins) every day, and 1 day with a long workout. Also I've registered for my first ever running event for charity: a 6km for an association my mother was part of, women who have had breast cancer and help out newly diagnosed to deal with the illness. My daughter also wants to run it (11 year old) I'm so proud !!
On another good note, the treatment for my migraines has started working and I'm feeling much less pain, I think the ergonomic pillow I bought is also helping

RESULT OF ROUND 94: minus x.x kg (-x.x lbs.)
I'm vegetarian, Legumes are great but at first it's really important to weight portions as it can quickly increase calorie intake! My main dishes are generally legume or pulse with a mix of ton of veggies to fill up on! good on you for cutting out meat! 5 -

My plan for R94 is the same - to remain focused, log and track properly and see my weigh in's into the 133's and to remain there!
Still no kitchen - new kitchen now delivered and being fitted - Last two rounds without a kitchen went well so hoping to continue as I left off. No kitchen continues to make me very planned and very focused just buying what we need when we need it.... Lesson to be learned here I think!
Evening out with a friend, Halloween and Grandsons birthday this round so not the easiest (although all in the first half of the round) but I'm determined to weigh less at the end than the start!
Start Weight 134.6lb
10/30 - 133.5lb (-1.1lb) and there's the rest of the drop at the round start rather than end of last round! But its here. Just 0.2lb away from my lowest weight ever (apart from when it was going up of course!) So that's my next small win planned....
10/31 - 135.8lb (+2.3lb ) No idea...... Spent a lot of time in the car yesterday (over 6 hours on and off between work and running daughter around for work and cheerleading!) and didn't move much inbetween
11/01 - 133.4lb (-2.4lb) OOOOKKaaayy - seems yesterday was a bit of a "blip".... Back down again and still on the right path. Guessing all is good
11/02 - 133.8lb (+0.4lb) OK stabilised so all good
11/03 - DNW
11/04 - 135.1lb (+1.3lb) and back up we go again! Guess alot of this is self inflicted. Was out on Saturday night and did go a bit overboard on the gin cocktails and paid the price Sunday morning (and most of Sunday to be honest!) Tough time of year for me - Tomorrow (5th) is the birthday of my daughter who was stillborn at full term 13 years ago - still a tough time of year to get through - as they say you never get over it - you just learn to live with it. Tomorrow is also my grandsons birthday so a real day of two halves..... So probably not as focused as I should have been this weekend.........
11/05 - 134.4lb (-0.7lb) Some of the weekend excesses and bloat gone at least. Trying to avoid emotional eating today and hoping to finish this week (and this round) strong, at a loss overall and back into the 133's.....
11/06 - 133.7lb (-0.7lb) And down we go again although in part probably due to no real meal last night and didn't track or focus yesterday - just got through the day with a couple of glasses of Red wine with hubby yesterday evening
My weight hasn't gone up or down really the last couple of weeks and haven't been properly focused but I do find this time of a year a bit of an emotional challenge
But back on track today, feeling more positive and food prepped and planned and goal is to stay in the 133's for the end of the round Two days to go!
11/07 - 132.9lb (-0.8lb) OOOOOHHH! Not seen a weight this low since I was on the way up a long time ago!
So despite all the fluctuations this round I am still overall losing - hurrah!
And when I put my weight into MFP this morning I got a lovely ticker tape banner pop up on my screen for reaching my target which I didn't remember setting. But here in the UK 133lb is exactly 9.5stone so quite a milestone for me. Going to reset a bit lower though - probably to 126lb which is 9 stone. But aiming to just stay steady until round end and over the weekend ahead then will reassess and reset

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 -183.6-
10/31 -183.6- My husband had an appointment yesterday so we had a fast food lunch. Calories were over but I am trying to keep them to about 1400 when I don't formally exercise. I was more active than normal yesterday and will be today even though I may not get to do actual exercise. For me, part of this is learning to have a healthy relationship with food in different circumstances and not to let anxiety get the best of me when I know things are not going according to my planned routine.
11/01 -183.7- Staying pretty steady.
11/02 -183.7- I have been a wreck mentally and emotionally the last few days. I overate a lot yesterday trying to quell the nausea I got from eating yogurt I spent two days making! I generally can't eat dairy products though
I keep trying for some reason. Lactaid helps but I forgot to take it. I think I am back on track today. My thought for the day: Good and bad things, sometimes really bad things, happen and I cannot fall back into using food to sooth myself when they do! I will think about other coping strategies today and make a list. I started crocheting a scarf last night to keep my hands and mind busy.
11/03 -183.7- I don't think I have ever held this steady, lol! I went for a good long walk yesterday and it helped my mental state immensely. I am planning another for today!
11/04 -183.4- Now that is better! I had another long walk yesterday that was good for my mental health but I may have overdone it just slightly because my back and legs hurt last night. I will work on finding balance.
11/05 -182.7- Going to go vote today (KY) and then take a walk. I am determined to be happy today and not let circumstances get to me.
11/06 -184.1- Yesterday was election day here in KY and I ate myself sick as the results were coming in. We still don't have an official winner but I think I will survive. Back at it this morning!
11/07 -183.6- Gotta to try and keep the downward trend going today. It's going to rain so no walk today but I have a furniture project to paint and grocery shopping to do in the rain so I should burn a few extra calories!

My goal is to stay as close to my daily calories and stay away from sugar. That's the one thing that makes me go over in a hurry.
11/03 134; avoided the usual Fri/sat bump
11/04 134.6: and there it is due to relaxing that I didn't post a usual high on Sunday! Thank goodness it is a week day and I can go back to my usual work week measured eating.
I'm going to break this weekend nonsense trend I do to myself.
11/05: 134.4 I met my step goal, and the only thing I wish I hadn't done was eat those darn Twix! But I logged them and ate fewer and went over by about 200. Not ideal because that's my maintenance number. I just have to remember if I get up to maintenance calories there's not going to be progress on the scale!
11/06: 134.4. met my step goal but succumbed to those kitkats. I didn't log last night but I will this morning just to keep accountable. Today is the day I don't have sugar! I can do this! Those sweets are keeping me from making progress. Focus!!!
11/07: 134.2 I was worried about the weight in this morning because I feel heavy and don't know why. So I'm relieved that it's not going the other way. I ate within 100 Cals of my goal so that was good. And Yay for me!! I stayed away from the kit Kat! Today is a big lunch at work and I plan to taste things but not gobble it all up since it will be full of fat and salt. I didn't work out yesterday because I was tired and realized I need a day off.
Thank you for this board. It is really helpful to be able to put things out there.12 -

11/07 - 156.1 - Um wow. I know this is from not eating enough. I need to include more fats in my diet. I get so full that I don't want to eat more but I think I ate around 800 calories and the couple of "cocktails" (as jack daniels calls them) brought me up to around 1000cals. Oops. Goal was 1500. But stuck to paleo minus my cocktails.
11/08
Previous Day's Comments10/30 - Um, whoa! I finished my ham&beans at lunch and had a small FiberOne bar as a snack to hold me over until dinner (I knew I had to cook so it'd be longer). Other than that, I stuck to a primal/paleo diet yesterday. Just didn't want to waste food so I finished it off. Today I have a ton of roasted mixed vegetables, some mashed butternut squash, and baked chicken breast for both lunch and dinner. Luckily I didn't have much in my house grocery-wise so cleaning out non-primal foods really wasn't hard at all. It was stuff that needed to be tossed anyway because it was on the older side. Now I need to make sure I meet 1200 minimum (I was 50cals under yesterday) and ideally 1500 with this change. Must buy appropriate snacks! Need to go grocery shopping anyway. I'm lacking frozen veggies (ideal given my travel schedule -- at least I know I won't waste it). Also, restarting IF because I felt amazing on it once my body adjusted and I miss that.
10/31 - I splurged a little with a single reese's pumpkin (pumpkin and trees are the best, I swear. Its gotta be the peanut butter to chocolate ratio!) Also had a granola bar because I needed SOMETHING to get through the day after lunch settled out. But I'm out of granola bars and the reese's was from my neighbor. Today is food truck day so I'm going to have to do my best with that. I know they have good options. Dinner is thawed and ready for cooking (zucchini spaghetti with homemade meat sauce). That will also give me lunch tomorrow! Black ice out so not sure if I'll get a good workout in. But trying to just move more throughout the day if I can.
11/01 - whoosh much? Wasn't expecting that, honestly. This Paleo/primal lifestyle really is making a difference. I'm already sleeping better, I don't have the bloat and swelling anymore and it's only been 3 days (and one completely true Paleo day yesterday as I had a treat a day the first two days as a matter of not wasting). Yesterday I didn't deal with my typical fatigue and grogginess at all. I feel great!
11/02 - DNW, DNP
11/03 - DNW, DNP
11/04 - At BF's all weekend. Kids made me eat a couple pieces of candy with them and unfortunately my BF is not all in on this paleo/primal lifestyle so I couldn't stick to it very well this weekend. But back on it starting today! TOM came so I'm not at all sure how weight will look tomorrow. I feel less bloated despite the weekend and TOM so I'm hoping I stuck to primal enough that it didn't set me back too much. I'm looking forward to the week ahead and all it has to offer!
11/05 - Kinda saw that coming. I'm so bloated! I made ham and bean soup last week, which I shared with my neighbors. Well, a neighbor decided to treat me to homemade taco pizza last night in return since he knows I LOVE tacos. I couldn't say no since he didn't know about my new primal/paleo way of eating prior to. And he then baited me with homemade cookies and his daughters were so upset when I originally said no, so I ate 2 cookies for them. I'm feeling it today. That, and TOM. I knew the bloat and heavy feeling had to show its ugly head. Hopefully its quick and done with soon. But onward! I have steak and veggies for lunch and I have salmon for tonight and chicken breasts thawing at home to cook up tonight for the remainder of the week. Just need to make sure I have enough veggies on hand. Also downloaded PokemonGo! for the BF's kids so I can play with them. Maybe it'll force me to get out and walk to the pokestops several blocks away when I'm not with them. I'll call that part of my "play" from the primal lifestyle.
11/06 - Didn't think I'd whoosh on back down to that low but I'm not complaining. Minus a few "cider" beers, I stuck to primal yesterday. Food truck today so have to watch what I order, but I'm challenging myself by not bringing a backup lunch to work. I know I can do it! Bloat is gone and I don't want it back (TOM still hanging around... hopefully last day of this heavy feeling) but that should be motivation enough to keep going.

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.

Round 93 was the best of the the last few rounds. I’m stuck to some of my plans and it’s seems to be working.
Day/Weight/Comment
Oct 30 - 187.4- trying to limit the night time snacking is proving difficult, but I’m eating lighter during the day to make it still within reason.
Oct 31 - 188.2 - up a bit because of some take out yesterday. Probably will be tomorrow too if I know my boss.
Nov 1 - 188.8 - I have to be good today. Yesterday didn’t go so well food wise.
Nov 2 - 188.4 - didn’t have a good day yesterday either. I need to figure out lunches better.
Nov 3 - 188.8 - was quite busy all day yesterday and kept my eating under control, I’m surprised the weight is up.
Nov 4 - 190.4 - I did not eat well yesterday and I was hungry all day. I don’t know if it was the time change or what, but I was all messed up. Hopefully today is much better.
Nov 5 - 188.8 - managed to get my water in yesterday that helped with all of the sodium from the weekend.
Nov 6 - 189.0 - I am so bloated and I’m sure it’s from all of the carbs I’ve been eating. I just want the comfort food and am finding it so hard to stay away from.
Nov 7 - 187.2 - a bit surprised as I had McDonald’s just before going to bed last night.

▪11/1 - 183 - Currently, I really do not know what my actual weight is. I weigh early a.m. every day, usually before 12 fasted hours are completed. I hardly ever feel hungry. Fasted for 24.5hrs/not intentional. 20g carbs. Meal time~ 8pm.

▪11/5 - 184.4 - Early weigh in again. I took some magnesium citrate yesterday. It did nothing but fill my gut with more fluid and add an extra
.8lbs. Smh.
IF/20.5hrs. 27g carbs, 9g net carbs.(seed porridge) Meal times~ 3:30, 8pm.
11/6 - 184.4 - IF/16.5hrs. 48g carbs. Meal times~ 3:30, 7:30. I raised my calories to 1425 and carbs to 50g yesterday. Also dropping my IF hours back to 16/8, maybe 12/12 in the weeks ahead. Everything that I've been reading suggests more carbs to heal adrenal fatigue, specifically more wholegrain carbs. Not doing that, but more vegetables and maybe a serving or two of starchy veg this week, like squash and sweet potato.
▪11/7 - 183 - IF/17hrs. 28g carbs. Meal times~ 12:30, 5:30.

11/01 – 125.2 – Halloween potluck at work yesterday got me, and those mini candy bars…
11/02 – didn’t weigh
11/03 – 126.2 – Potluck and Halloween leftovers, and lunch date yesterday
11/04 – 126.4 – And getting back on track today, did lunch meal prep yesterday so hoping that will help
11/05 – 125.6 – I lied, I was bad yesterday too. TOM starts today. Lunch meal prep for today so hoping to stay on track a little better, and there isn’t any more candy in my desk drawer 😊
11/06 – 125.0 – I was within my calorie goal yesterday and did much better than I have been, but still some room for improvement.
11/07 – 124.4 – I am very surprised that I keep going down like this, but I will take it. Officially back in my maintenance range.

10/30 163.5 Same as yesterday. I got in 4.25 miles, 2.25 of that more hiking than walking. I ended up having a salad for lunch and salad for dinner. After committing to eating out less, my friend asked me to go to dinner last night and I said yes. I had a salad again because it was the best choice. I REALLY wanted their brisket grilled cheese which is the BEST but even half of it is expensive on calories. Freezing rain this afternoon, no outside walks. I did bring stuff for the gym if the weather allows I'll lift weights tonight.
10/31 164.2 ARGH. I'm not sure why I'm up. I was good yesterday. The weather did not hold, so no gym. No exercise tonight because it's HALLOWEEN! Don't be frightened by my scary ghost costume.
11/1 164.5 Double argh! Stayed out of the candy, for the most part, was under calorie goal even with what I had. Stupid water I guess. I should get a walk in tonight. Three miles maybe a little more. Happy Friday All. @deepwoodslady My thoughts are with you.
11/2 164.9 I walked four miles after work yesterday. It was wonderful. Not sure what's going on with the weight.
11/3 DNW The time change messed up my brain and I forgot to weigh. I spent almost 5 hours cleaning the house and doing yard work yesterday. I went for a short walk (1.5 miles) and then had friends over Saturday night (which explains the marathon house/yard clean up). Our menu was a healthy one - hummus and veggies as an appetizer, fancy tomato soup and grilled cheese for the main course and apple oatmeal crisp for dessert. Unfortunately, the broth I used for the soup was not low sodium so probably some water retention. After our delicious dinner, we sat around the fire pit until it got too cold.
11/4 165.9 Too much weekend for this girl. I did walk another 4 miles yesterday. This really is my favorite time of year for walking. I've walked 9.5 miles in 3 days. I'm heading to the gym tonight. I haven't done weights in 2 weeks. Try drinking a lot of water today to flush out my system.
11/5 No Scale Work interrupted my workout plan. I ended up going to St Louis but didn't leave until 3:00 which meant no time to go to the gym. I did get to eat at my favorite "fast food" place here that actually has low sodium bowls with lots of veggies and brown rice! I'll walk this afternoon, it's supposed to be sunny and 55!!
11/6 No Scale Walked 4 miles yesterday on a perfect autumn afternoon. Driving home today, I hope to stop and walk along the way. It's in the 50s but overcast. Stayed within calories yesterday but travel = water retention. We'll see what Mr. Scale has for me
11/7 162.6 I guess I had been retaining a lot of water if I'm down after a trip. I would like to be down a little more for the round but who knows. I will try to avoid excess sodium today so I can have a good number tomorrow. Did not walk yesterday, work had other plans for me. I had to be back in KC at 3:00 so no time to walk. Which stinks because the weather was perfect! Too cold today so I was going to go to the gym but I don't want to because of water retention and weights. Maybe I'll find a way to walk today.14 -

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30: 292.0 lbs (+1.4) .. bit of an uptick this morning, nothing too bad. Most likely going to take it pretty easy today aside from some walking.
10/31: 290.9 lbs (-1.1) … back down near my current low weight. Had a good run this morning, 3 miles over 40 minutes. It was warmer than normal for this time of year, but rainy. The rain felt pretty good though! I have my second strength training personal trainer session this evening after work, then I’m manning the door for trick or treaters for the remainder of the evening.
11/01: 292.2 lbs (+1.3) … pushed my calories yesterday slightly higher than I have for the past week or so, and ate a bit more carb-heavy than typical. I’m just glad that I’m hovering in the 290-292 range instead of staying at 295 like I was for the last few weeks.
11/02: 292.4 lbs (+0.2) … didn’t go out for a run this morning as planned… my legs were really sore from the gym on Thursday night. We’ll see how I feel in the morning. Likely going to take it easy today and rest.
11/03: 293.5 lbs (+1.1)
11/04: 294.3 lbs (+0.8) … the number on the scale keeps creeping up. Been eating well within my budget, so it's not food related. Was a bit frustrated about it until I read this morning that it's pretty common when you're beginning strength training and have sore muscles.
11/05: 291.7 lbs (-2.6) … there we go, a little recovery from recent upticks. At this point I’d be happy if I broke even this round, but hopefully I can show at least a little bit of loss in the next 4 days. Last night I had my third session with my personal trainer, an hour long. Still feeling a bit spaghetti-legged from that this morning, but not sore... yet. We'll see how I feel tomorrow I guess. Lastly, I noticed this morning that my shirts are fitting a bit better around the stomach — so even if I’m not losing pounds, I’m still making progress.
11/06: 292.7 lbs (+1.0) … more water retention fun! I’m pretty certain that’s what the uptick is. My legs and shoulders are pretty sore from Monday’s session at the gym. Trying to be more active today to shed the extra weight. I'm up to about 2 hours walking and 11,500 steps so far at 2pm.
11/07: 292.1 lbs (-0.6) … up, down, up, down, up, down. I get why it happens, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. Been pushing my step count this week as I’m participating in a step challenge at work that started on Monday. I’ve committed to reach at least an average of 10,000 steps per day for the next couple weeks. 15.5k yesterday, went for a long walk this morning before work so I’m already up to 7.5k today.

Goals this round.... Little to no added sugar; no flour products; calories below maintenance. I’m setting up my own system to track the days I stick to those goals. This round I will check in daily on my goals, but weigh only on days 5 and 10 as an experiment. And I’m considering this round a new restart.

We had to go to Indianapolis yesterday, so I spent driving calories, about 7 hours worth between there and back and around Indy. I did stick pretty much with good food choices until late evening when I had some ice cream. But I’m determined to eat properly the rest of this round. Thank you all for your inspirations, examples, and support.

Happy Halloween & Blessed Samhain! So far I’ve successfully ignored the candy sitting on the counter for this evening’s spooky little beggars, but I was not so successful with the zucchini bread or calories at last night’s Master Gardener meeting. But today is a new day.

Goals yesterday....I did have a little added sugar (1 Reese’s pumpkin from the trick or treat bowl) and a small bowl of lime sherbet), but mostly I ate very healthy. No flour products. Calories not great but not bad. And I finished painting my bathroom. Yay! Now on to the hallway. Have a lovely weekend, all!
11/2 - xx
I cheated a bit (again) last night. House painting makes me hungry! We’re meeting a friend for dinner this evening — she’s in town for the dog show and I haven’t seen her since this time last year. We met on the train from Nevada to Chicago in 2011 — I love chance meetings like that that stick. Enjoy the weekend, all!
11/3 - 168.4
We went out for dinner last night but I stuck with grilled salmon, unadorned sweet potato, and salad with no croutons and a tiny bit of dressing. I did eat a couple of fun-size candies from the bowl — trick or treat was rescheduled here until yesterday — but that’s gone now. Slowly getting back to some self-control. Enjoy your Sunday!

I had lots of paint and garden cleanup plans yesterday, but ended up having a lazy day, which is fine. Today I’m trying to finish the hallway, and I have a Nanking cherry seedling to plant. Keeps me mostly out of trouble!
11/5 - xx
I wasn't perfect but was reasonable on my munching yesterday. I did quite a bit of garden clean up and planted my little cherry tree (it's about a foot tall ). I also finished painting my formerly dark hallway -- now it's a gorgeous light teal and feels bigger, brighter, and happier. Whee!
11/6 - xx
I haven’t eliminated flour products from my diet, but I’ve definitely reduced them. Same with added sugar. Every little bit less....
11/7 - xx
Oh, man, yesterday was pig out day. I don’t know what’s wrong with me — cheese, more cheese, other high-calorie food I didn’t need but wanted. Is this and extended backlash (or backslide?) from the 3+ years of seriously controlled eating? I’ve been mildly depressed but don’t know if it’s the cause or the result of my overeating. I’m not looking forward to weighing in tomorrow.

Yes yes yes! Back to where I was before all of the craziness! Also, found a big chocolate bar hidden while I was cleaning out the pantry yesterday and I didn't eat any of it lol.

@merph518 I’ve somehow missed a day before too. Congratulations on the walking and the upticks are most likely from all the activity. For warning these swings and perhaps even a stall can last for up to a month after starting a new exercise regime.
@kmfeig87 Amazon has some beautiful chemo scarfs, wraps, etc. When my mil found out that she would lose her hair from chemo she went out and had it shaved off rather than waiting. She said she felt that she had more control by doing it when she wanted rather than letting the chemo take it. I don’t know if the thought helps, but I wanted to pass it along in case it does. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thank you to everyone who commented on the new picture! The one I picked this morning is one I asked my husband to take.

Will this be the round that I hit my goal for this year? It will be if I get serious and end the eating out. My goal for this round is at least a two pound loss.
10/30 284.6 This bounce up is nothing more than the usual ovulation bounce up. I actually went back over my weight and ovulation times to prove it to myself. If all goes the same as the past it should be gone tomorrow or at worst in two days.
10/31 282.2 And the whoosh. I do have a small family party and eat out planned today, but I preplanned them and know what I can have to stay in calorie goals. I might still see a bounce tomorrow from sodium, but I’m positive I will reach my goal for this year by Monday at the latest.
11/01 281.4 I stayed on plan yesterday! I wasn’t expecting another drop today, but I’m happy seeing it. This loss puts me a little under my 100 pound loss goal for this year. I’m going to shoot for at least another 8 before the Christmas holiday.
11/02 280.4 I’m sure this freefall will end soon. I suspected that I had been retaining water for awhile now from the new exercise bike, but I didn’t think it was this much.
11/03 279.4 Still in free fall. Don’t worry I’m not starving myself and am eating at a decent calorie level.
11/04 278.8 I was so busy with errands yesterday, but I did them all between meals and made sure that I was at home near meal times so that I didn’t grab something out. Because of this I didn’t drink enough yesterday and I feel dehydrated today. On the plus side I don’t have anything planned until Thursday so I can rest a little and recover from my weekend.
11/05 278.2 I upped my morning walk yesterday from 20 minutes to 35 minutes. I also did the Just Dance arm movements while I did my exercise bike so I’m happy that the increased activity didn’t end in a bump up. Today I’m a little sore so I might take it a little easier than I have the last few days.
11/06 277.4 So I keep saying that I’m going to rest, and I still haven’t done it. Today I’m going to try to force myself to take it a little easier and have a rest day.
11/07 276.2 I took my rest day finally. Strangely I slept better last night than I have all week, maybe the muscle aches were getting to me more than I realized. I’m now rested and ready for the busy weekend to begin. My nsv yesterday was allowing my husband to take a photo of me. He was so excited because it’s one of the few times in our 15 years together that I’ve not only allowed him to take a picture of me, but asked for him to take one.

10/30 …..188.0 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1273 Calories In / 2617 Calories Out. 25 Net Carbs. 17,508 Total Steps & 7.41 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours on the button I went for a hall walk in the school (cold outside) for 124 minutes at about 3.0 mph. The extra calorie burn was 694. Good luck everyone this round.
10/31 …..190.2 …..
11/01 …..188.0 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 797 Calories In / 2459 Calories Out. 12 Net Carbs. 14,002 Total Steps & 5.92 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 15 minutes. I walked for 103 minutes at 2.5 mph for a total extra calorie burn of 463.
11/02 …..188.0 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1551 Calories In / 2585 Calories Out. 78 Net Carbs. 16,472 Total Steps & 6.97 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 38 minutes. I Hall walked the school with my walking partner for 107 minutes at about 3.0 mph burning an extra 612 calories.
11/03 …..185.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 565 Calories In / 2566 Calories Out. 9 Net Carbs. 14,275 Total Steps & 6.04 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 49 minutes which included my extra hour for Daylight Savings Time. I walked for 67 minutes at a moderate pace burning an extra 316 Calories.
11/04 …..186.0 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1501 Calories In / 2617 Calories Out. 61 Net Carbs. 14,381 Total Steps & 6.09 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 24 minutes and woke up very tired, dragging. I proved my commitment to myself by walking in FREEZING COLD TEMPS at early dark in my neighborhood for 46 minutes and burned an extra 271 calories
11/05 …..186.0 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1014 Calories In / 2733 Calories Out. 16 Net Carbs. 17,202 Total Steps & 7.28 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 2 hours & 40 minutes. Not enough, I know. I walked for 98 minutes inside the school at 3.0 mph burning an extra 515 calories over my normal daily routines. I also fit in 13 minutes of aerobics last night after I closed out my MFP day burning an additional 65 calories.
11/06 …..186.0 ….. I’m not gonna lie. I was hoping for a lower number or fraction of a pound on the scale but it is what it is. Sometimes trying to lose a pound feels like watching a drop of water trying to drip from a spigot. It’s looming right there on the rim, ready to fall anytime but just won’t drop. I continue to trust the process and wait for my rightful next number to show up! Patience is definitely part of this process. Yesterday’s stats: 1315 Calories In / 2689 Calories Out. 29 Net Carbs of mostly friendly veggies. 17,219 total Steps & 7.29 Total Miles. (Almost identical to yesterday’s activity!) 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 47 minutes waking up refreshed. I walked in the school hallways (mall walking) for 83 minutes at 3.0 mph burning an extra 443. I did 22 minutes of aerobics burning 160 calories. Total extra caloie burn was 603.
11/07 …..186.0 ….. Wow. No change for days now! Surprising! Today will be a rest day as far as the walking goes. I hate that right before the final weigh in tomorrow, but no choice. I will try to get in the 10,000 randomly but no neighborhood walk or school walk as I am taking my son for his flu shot today, then his haircut. A little later I am picking my 2 DGS up from school and taking them to the salon for their cuts. Then I will get them fast food (none for me, I promise!) as I have been “rewarding” all 3 with a treat for being “good boys at the salon” since they were 2 or 3 years old. They are a little old for it now but still expect the rewarding, and they will be “starving” after school so there it is! Yesterday’s stats: 1496 Calories In / 2619 Calories Out. 34 Net Carbs of mainly veggies in my kebobs. 17,324 Total Steps & 7.33 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 23 minutes. I walked the school halls for 1 hour & 38 minutes burning an additional 536 calories.
