Goals: stay away from sugar. Stay close to the green zone. Appreciate any loss.
11/19 134: neighbor brought freshly baked bread after dinner. So I ate some and don't regret it. But I did go up to maintenance and ate back all my exercise calories for the day. Today I better not.
11/20 133.6: added 5 mins to elliptical! I think I need to have less calories early in the day so I can eat a proper dinner, otherwise it's extremely hard to stay within my 1200 and feel sane.
11/23: 134.4 I don't know what's going on. Actually, I do know. It started with the pasta on Thursday, which was delicious. Then yesterday, I ate within reason but basically I'm eating at maintenance. Somehow I have to cut the dessert in the evening. until that point I'm fine and then I go over.
It helps to see the reminder "don't stay away. It's a journey, and we're not here to judge but to support", so I'm just repeating it if someone else feels like me this morning.
Today I will take it for today.
11/24: 134.4 friends over for dinner and I felt pressured to have dessert. The good news is that I took a glass of wine and had maybe 1 oz but nobody noticed.
11/25: 133.2 was really careful the last two days. Yesterday i was at a friend's for lunch and asked to serve myself instead of her serving me, so loaded up on the veggies and salad rather than the carbs. And ate only half the dessert. The big victory was having toast for dinner instead of what I cooked for the family because that would have been very high calorie meal. That helped me stay in the green. Let me try and do this again today

@Snowflake1968 sometimes I find I look at loss, feel happy and think I can get away with eating more. Are you logging? That helps me realize what I'm doing to myself5

Goal 121- half of my former self
Ultimate Goal- Maintain 130-135
Goal for this round is to get my average down by any number. I’m working on building lean muscle while blasting fat, so my scale isn’t moving much right now. But one of these days it’s gonna do a dive.
Averages
R94- 150.6
R95- 150.8

11/22- 149.4
11/23- 149.4
11/24- 148.4
11/25- 149.4 today is a heavy strength day so I predict a bump up tomorrow. I am definitely feeling emotionally better about the scale by looking at my ten days as an average. I was so consistent losing the first 93lbs, watching the scale go down was super encouraging. It felt like over night it switched from melting off to fighting the scale and not winning. It’s taken me about three months for my emotions to catch up to my brain in understanding this slow down.10 -

UGW - around 140 pounds - may change.
R96 Goal - To get back to eating healthy food and being more active. Hopefully lose a few pounds.
11/19 - 213
11/20 - 212.3 I'm in Australia so it's night time here. I had a good, healthy day although I was at work and I always eat less at work.
11/21 - 209.4 I won't do a Happy Dance just yet. My weight has a habit of messing with me.
11/22 - 209.2 I was pleased enough with the scales that I willingly spent the whole day cleaning. Then we had (homemade) pizza for dinner. I know...it was not a good idea. I chose mushroom, capsicum, sundried tomato, basil and chilli. I stayed away from the, very tempting, bacon and pepperoni that my kids added. I also went really light on the cheese. Hopefully I won't have huge regrets tomorrow
11/23 - 208.6 Very happy. I had a healthy eating day but I need to drink more water.
11/24 - 208.1 Drank losts of water today. Lucky it was Sunday because I was back and forth to the toilet. Not sure that I can do the same at work.
11/25 - 208 Not much difference but still heading in the direction I need to be going.

11/25 - DNW - BF's, no scale. Had a good weekend. Messed up my back in my sleep last night and its painful to breathe. Its right below my shoulder blades and across my entire back. I'm not quite sure what I did, but ouch! Hopefully it goes away tomorrow as my parents and pup will be arriving in the evening. I'm getting more and more bummed about BF leaving me for Texas, now. Its happening so soon! I have no idea when I'll be able to visit him next and he was talking about not coming back up to get the rest of his stuff until about April. Waaah. Still applying. Maybe I can be down there by then and have all my friends and my BF again. This transition is really messing with me (I'm struggling to eat a full meal and then I get super nauseous). Hopefully, soon, it'll all be over. Mentally I may miss him and feel a bit lonely, but the stress of the actual packing and moving will be over. Keeping my head up as best I can through it. At least I won't have to worry about sticking to paleo/primal once he's gone since I'll be completely in charge of food, even on weekends. Silver lining (:

Previous Day's Comments11/19 - Well, long story short, I got inspired by BF moving that I decided to purge my own house (the kids and I can help him purge and pack. If I move, I'm on my own). That turned into "I just made this mess, now I have to sort it" which turned into "oh my! its past my bedtime and I haven't eaten dinner or showered!" So I only had one meal yesterday and that was a piece of lasagna. Oops. Today isn't much better since I didn't cook to bring anything so I'm eating the last can of soup I have as backup at work. More purging tonight which is keeping me active and it feels really nice. Plus, trash goes out today so I can finally clear the pile by the door (trash can was full). Hopefully I don't donate too much more stuff or I won't be able to take it all in one trip! One room down (minus the things that I'm selling) and just one more big bin to sort and room 2 is down. All that's left after that is living room, kitchen, and bedroom!
11/20 - This seems a little more accurate as I actually had more than one meal, unlike Monday. Still not so great on water, but better than I was before. I desperately need to go grocery shopping but I'm so tight on money I'm not sure how to pull it off. BF's tonight as I sold my desk and chair I haven't used in 2 years. Its only $20 but that's a tank of gas in my work car! Too bad I have to deliver. At least I can stay with BF and spend some more time with him while he's here.
11/21 - At BF's house. Probably will be again tonight and through the weekend so no chance to weigh in. As long as I stay on track, I'll be content. Coordinated moving a bit more. Financially, it's gonna hurt. And I might have to drive the truck down while he gets a uhaul and dollies my car so he can save money not going back and forth on his own while trying to work. I'm okay with that! Any chance to go to Texas, I'm game. Will be difficult food and water wise, but I've got a couple weeks to figure out how I'm going to manage. The 11 hour drive alone to come back will be horrible, though.
11/22 - At BF's house, no scale. I was trusted with a coworker's borrowed large trailer to tow BF's beloved motorcycle and his riding lawnmower over to my place for temp storage until he can come get them once he's settled in Texas. Made me feel so amazing to be able to do that, even through rush hour traffic. Reminded me of being back on the farm. Confidence boost for sure. Its the little things but I really needed something to be proud of during this rough time. This weekend will be just packing. Parents coming to visit next week, first time in a year I've seen them. And they're bringing my puppy! (she's 8 but she's a puppy) so I'm sure to eat a lot of my mother's lovely cooking and cuddle with my pup. Mentally preparing now for that.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 – 144 – It seems that Tuesdays are my weekend bump days now. Last week I jumped to 145.5 on Tuesday, so it looks like I’m on a downward trend.
11/20 – 143.5 – I’m really hoping I can get lower than this before the weekend. I packed an extra low calorie lunch for today and am planning to get some extra water in.
11/21 – 143 – OK! This is the lowest weight I’ve seen in the past couple months.
11/22 - 144
11/23 – 144.5
11/24 - 145
11/25 – 145.5 – Two parties this weekend did me in. I could have eaten better, but I also could have done a lot worse.

Personal Goal: More water, a full body pushup, continue N2R
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19: 159.0-Needed an active rest, did full body body stretching, wow that felt good-need to make it a habit.
11/20: 159.0-30 minutes rowing. Stretching hammies and hip flexors has done wonders for my knees, even my feet feel better.
11/21: 159.8-Always disappointing to see a bump up, but learning not to give it much credence, which is progress too.
11/22: 159.4-Some yard work and more stretching; should be able to get back to N2R next week.
11/23: 159.2-Good long walk in early a.m., but otherwise a bit of a lazy day.
11/24: 159.2-40 minutes rowing, never thought I would be able to write that!
11/25:159.0-Off topic: Am I the only one that expects to be dropped into a new post entry when using the “quote” function? Even after all this time, I hit “quote” and expect something magical to happen.🧚♀️ Meanwhile, had a good walk between rain events. NB: I move faster and more comfortably in a fasted state.11 -

UGW 135
Goals 1. Walk two miles or at least hit 10,000 steps everyday
2. Due a toning workout for 15 minutes 5X a week
3. Count calories, less pasta, bread
11/19 165.8 Accomplished goals.
11/20 165.8 Accomplished goals
11/21 166.0 Surprised at the gain since I was busy yesterday, hence not much snacking and came in at about 1100 calories but I also had class in the afternoon so not as mobile.
11/22 164.8 Accomplished goals plus cross country skied a mile. Today, might not be as good, have to go shopping in town so might not get in all my exercise.
11/23 165.4 Accomplished goals. Not sure why I am up. Wait and see, might have to add more goals to next round.
11/24166.0 Not sure why this gain, except on the weekend I only get in my two miles of walking and no workout due to family being home. I did try eating breakfast.
11/25 166.0 Same as yesterday. accomplished goals But I have been more hungry the last two days but stayed in my calories but ate breakfast and could not fend off the snacking on popcorn in the evening. Today going to get back to the workout and maybe no breakfast, and eliminate snacking after 8 pm.

Frozen Lean Cuisine for lunch and Taco Tuesday for dinner. Planning a new chicken and asparagus meal for dinner tomorrow, I'm excited for it!

Chicken and asparagus was very tasty! I did succumb to some late night snack cravings, but tomorrow is another day.

As much as I enjoy cooking, I also enjoy the simplicity of leftover days.
11/22 188.2
Calories: over by 517
As far as eating goes, this has been a bad week. Coworker ordered in McDonald's for lunch, then when I got home my fiance was craving a Friday Fish Fry. Ended the day well over my calorie limit. I logged it all though so I'm counting that as a win at least. Drinking a lot of water to offset all the sodium and we don't have any plans for the weekend so I'm going to try to cook some this weekend and be better in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.
11/23 187.8
Calories: under by 58
Long day at work so I didn't get to eat lunch until around 3pm (I skip breakfast so I was really hungry by the time I ate). Some friends came into town for a football game so we met up with them later. I ate dinner before we went out so I wasn't tempted to get any of the fried food with massive amounts of butter and oil.
11/24 186.4
Calories: under by 210
Had vegetarian enchilada casserole for dinner. 10/10 would make again. I think today's loss was mostly dehydration from last night but hoping for only a small jump tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - 168.8
Yesterday was a gorgeous day and I went for I lovely walk along one of our three rivers. It was inspiring. And I’m happy to be starting a new round — I’m finally feeling focused and determined to stick to the healthier me plan. Many thanks to you lovely people for providing inspiration, example, and a safe place to slip up for a while.
11/20 - 168.8
I did well with eating goals yesterday though I did have a small glass of Bailey’s last night. I had a bagel this morning — and thoroughly enjoyed it! But have stuffed portobellos planned for lunch and veggie dinner. Feeling pretty much on track.
11/21 - 171.6
WHAAAAA? Clearly that’s not actual weight gain! I did eat dinner (all vegetarian dishes at master gardener meeting) later than usual, and some of the food was a bit salty and I didn’t get enough water yesterday, but really? 3 pounds??? I expect it to be gone tomorrow! Jeesh!
11/22 - 170.4
I’m a little surprised it’s still up there, but ok, I can’t control the scale, just my behavior, I ate responsibly yesterday. It is what it is!
11/23 - 171
I over ate last night — ugh. Today I have to bake a loaf of bread for bread communion tomorrow, but I won’t sample! I don’t know why I can’t seem to get a grip on my snacking, even though I’m thoroughly disgusted with the weight I’ve gained back. Monday I see my integrative medicine doctor and I’ve decided I won’t let the nurse weigh me. Depressing enough to see my nekkid number at home before breakfast —I’m not getting on a scale fully clothed after eating! Have a good weekend, all.
11/24 - 171
Bread baked — cherry quick bread with dried cherries and pecans. Sliced it this morning but I did not sample - yay me! I’m going to try not to sample more than one or two of the offerings this morning. And @quiltingjaine, yeah, I expect an argument from the nurse, esp. if I get the cranky one, but I’m determined. I know I’ve gained. I don’t need an overweight nurse and overweight doctor lecturing me about it!
11/25 - 171
Ok, so I did sample all the breads yesterday. The whole shebang didn’t add up to more than a slice or a little more, and I ate responsibly the rest of the day.

Round 96:
Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW: 177.1 lbs

STG: 110 (next milestone)
Goals for 10 Day Challenge: 112
Day/Weight/Comment
EW round 95: 114.4, BF% 27.3
11/19 113.6, BF% 27.1 Starting to recover from the weekend bump! Good strength workout + cardio today, but sore from squats and bench press so hopefully DOMS doesn’t drive the numbers up!. Calories/macros on target. NSV - made chicken Banh Mi sandwiches for dinner with pickled vegetables. Nice to be able to enjoy Trader Joe’s ciabatta rolls on the strength days with extra calories!
11/20 112.6, BF% 26.9 Yeah!!!! Back to low from last round! Hopefully can hang out here around the rest of the challenge. Lighter cardio after work today.
11/21 112.0, BF% 26.7 New low! (and goal for 10 day challenge - plenty of time with weekend though to mess up lol!) Strength day and cardio + higher calorie day (penne with duck sausage & smoked mozzarella for dinner]
11/22 111.4, BF% 26.5
11/23 111.2, BF% 26.4
11/24112.0, BF% 26.7 Catching up on posting! This is my usual weekend bump - ate out Friday night + wine, ate at home last night but over on wine. Still great progress as down 2.4 lbs from last round and at goal for this round! If anything it might bounce up a bit more before stabilizing, but should settle down in 1-2 days with exercise/workouts. XTtrain class this morning for cardio and will go back to gym later this afternoon for weights/strength.
11/25 112.2, BF% 26.8 Weekend bump! Yesterday cardio and strength training (DOMS today), and the associated higher calories on weight day (no wine though!). Expect that this will drop once the extra fiber from last night (slow cooked heirloom beans) kicks in! Still 2.2 pound loss for round which is higher than expected based on current settings from nutritionist, but weight loss seems to go in spurts! NSV - can wear same size workout leggings as my 12yo daughters, even though I am about 20 lbs heavier (one is my height, the other is 2 inches taller). Important to remember that the scale is not always the best reflection of progress and that weight training has a huge impact on body composition! #musclematters

11/19 273.4 A nice loss for the start of the round.
11/20 273.0 I took my rest day a day early because I was experiencing some muscle fatigue. I seem to be doing better this morning so I’m hopeful that I just needed a little rest and that it’s not a flare starting.
11/21 271.6 I checked this weight six times, two of those was after walking the dogs. I have no idea where it came from, but I’ll take it.
11/22 271.4 Any loss is a good loss, I’m just happy that it wasn’t a false low yesterday and that I didn’t bounce from a high sodium dinner last night. I tried a ranch dressing that’s made with Greek yogurt and it was pretty good. My only complaint is that it comes out in clumps.
11/23 270.6 I took a rest from walking yesterday, it really showed me how inactive I am if I don’t take my walks throughout the day. This morning I’m back to my usual routine and my 20 minute walk passed by in the blink of an eye, so I went for another 10 minutes. My husband and I are going out for lunch today and hopefully I can stay on track. I might consider talking him out of it because I really want to get down some more before my maintenance break next month.
11/24 270.4 I didn’t end up going out to lunch with the husband. My mil had a failure to plan that meant we suddenly had an emergency to do deal with. Don’t worry it was just that she needed someone to take her to do her laundry and nothing truly serious. My husband and her got breakfast out so he had the eating out bug out of his system by the time he got home.
11/25 271.4 Water retention from either my sore back or it being close to ovulation time. I had a new step high at a bit over 11k yesterday plus I spent time on my exercise bike. I’m going to rest today as I can to see if I can get my back to let up, but I do have a shopping trip planned for later.

Starting Weight: 286.9 lbs
Goal Weight: 284.9 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19: 286.4 lbs (-0.5) … back down under the -100 mark again. I actually ate at maintenance yesterday (well, within budget if you count the exercise calories, I tend not to) and didn’t fast through breakfast as I usually do. I had a heck of an appetite. I stepped onto the scale fully expecting to see an increase, but I saw a small loss instead. Pretty happy with that.
11/20: 285.1 lbs (-1.3) … a new low. Feeling pretty good this morning!
11/21: 283.8 lbs (-1.3) … another new low! This is already a very good week, hopefully I can hang onto this progress. Today is the last day of our step challenge at work, and my team is still holding onto the lead (and has done so for the past week and a half). I’m averaging 15,000 steps per day since 11/4, which is kind of insane for me considering my ~6-8k average before that. I’m committing to 20,000+ steps today just to make sure we cement our lead and have no surprises in the morning.
11/22: 283.3 lbs (-0.5) … another new low. And we did it! My team won the step challenge. I pushed myself pretty hard yesterday, doing 3+ hours of walking (23,500 steps) to ensure we held onto the lead. Going to let myself rest today, and then go back to trying to make sure I get around 10,000 per day.
11/23: 283.1 lbs (-0.2) … another new low. How I love typing that. I’m kind of surprised -- I was pretty hungry yesterday and ate a bit more than I typically do. I was expecting an uptick. I’m about to head off to my niece’s birthday party, where I hope to be able to behave in terms of what I eat
11/24: 284.0 lbs (+0.9) … a little uptick after some weekend indulging.
11/25: 284.7 lbs (+0.7) … and a little more. Still doing fine for the round and I expect to balance back out around 283 by the end of the week.

End Weight from last round - 176.4
11/19 - 175.4 Good day yesterday however very little exercise. I did make a few laps around the office to get in some extra steps - better than nothing. Need to find my fitbit, dust it off, fire it up and get those step numbers up. Gallbladder acting up. I've had occasional attacks but not often enough to cause concern. I'm taking ibuprofen and hoping it goes back to sleep soon lol
11/20 - 174.6 Stayed on course eating healthy. Back to pre-weekend weight and down a bit. The gallbladder pain is gone. It is sunny and a bit cool but it should be a beautiful day. Feeling thankful, optimistic and motivated
11/21 - 175.4 Late night salty snack - pretzels and wheat thins. I knew better but I was under on my calories and had a stressful day so told myself it was okay (NOT). I need to stock more healthy go to late night snacks.
11/22 - 175.0 No LNS. High carb dinner but still under on my calories. Found my fitbit and it is on the charger. Goal - 6500+ steps today. Weekend is here again.
11/23 - 175.4

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

***********
11/19 122.5 Gym day today. My Art Quilt group has it annual holiday potluck tomorrow and I have no idea what to take. Last year there were too many desserts and no LCHF entrees.
⭐️On this date last year, weighed 131.0, I watched what I ate and how much during multiple potlucks, 3 holidays (Thanksgiving and 2 Christmases with family) and other random celebrations. I did hit 133.0 a couple of times but was at 133.5 on/ New Year’s morning. I had determined that I did not want to go back where I had been and was mindful. You can do it!
11/20 123.5 Heavy workout day at the gym yesterday. I know I’m getting stronger, I just wish I felt I was. I made Keto white chicken chili for today’s potluck.
11/21 122.0 My potluck dish was a hit!
11/22 121.0 DH woke up sick yesterday. I spent most of the day reading a book a friend loaned me. When we went out to get his meds, I got 2 grande lattes with heavy cream at that famous coffee place (it was happy hour day) and that was how I broke my almost 22 hour fast. I continued to “enjoy” (not so much) that coffee for the rest of the day. UGH! Hardly ate any supper. Feeling much better today. Fasting until dinner. (It’s in print so now I have to, right?)
11/23 121.0 I didn’t fast as long as I intended but I’m a work in progress. At 8PM I realized I hadn’t had any water all day - just coffee so I drank about a quart and a half before I went to bed at 11:20. 2 bathroom trips during the night. Note to self - drink water not coffee! I need to get to the gym today for sure, haven’t been since Tuesday!

11/19 162.1 WTH? I stayed within calories but too much sodium and too many carbs. Usually, I'm not big on carbs but lightened up stroganoff still has a lot of noodles. I finally made it to the gym to lift weights, which is probably part of the retained water issue and all of the sore muscle issues. I have been so happy to walk again after the pulled hamstring in August that I've really neglected weight lifting. I'm sure this uptick will be gone in a day or two so I'm not sweating it. Headed back to StL today. It's a lovely sunny fall day so I will definitely go for a walk somewhere between KC and STL, either along the river or a park closer to KC. The stupid tilt of the earth making it harder to walk before dark
11/20 No Scale Great walk last night. Ended up going 4.75 miles. My app was paused for a long time and I didn't notice because the views were so beautiful and the book I was listening to was sooo good. OOPS! Ended up finishing in the dark. I wasn't happy with myself, my BF called me just as I was finishing and he was mad at me (I don't blame him, it was dumb). I'm on a very rural trail by myself - which he hates already but then on top of that now it's dark. Probably not the safest thing. I am going to change my schedule so I leave KC earlier in the day and can finish walking before dark. All that being said, I had a great calorie day, even stayed low on sodium. A couple of pics to justify my lateness.
11/21 No Scale A good 4-mile walk last night. The scenery was not nearly as beautiful but it was still nice. I was done well before dark. It's a state park and I will go back. Lots of BIG hills. Another decent food day and TOM is almost over so I hope to see a good number on the scale tomorrow. Not looking forward to the boring drive home in the rain Oh well. No exercise today, I need a rest day.
11/22 162.4 Not what I expected. Not happy with it, but it is what it is I guess. I had Vietnamese last night with maybe too much sodium. Whatever it is it won't be here long. I can still make it to 15X by the end of the round. I hope everyone has a good weekend.
11/23 and 11/24 163.1 More bad food choices, not calorie-wise but high sodium. I walked 3 miles on Saturday and 5 on Sunday.
11/25 163.2 I'm feeling sluggish today. I'm not sure if it's a food hangover from lasagna last night (birthday party) or tired from walking 5 miles yesterday. I've finally figured out that any pasta will hang on for a couple of days like sodium. Since I went over on both last night I'm afraid I won't be seeing 15X this round. It's all I can do to not just give up until after thanksgiving. It's starting today with a work t-day here at the office today, a full big deal meal on Thanksgiving itself then a mini one next Sunday. A walk tonight instead of the gym because it's beautiful.12 -
Round 94 was a tough round but I lost 2 lbs. This morning I am up a bit again though. It sure is tough this year for me.

11/19 185.4 I'm hoping to hit the 30lbs lost mark by the end of this round! Also 0.4lbs away from my new Fitbit!!
11/20 185.6 This isn't a surprise! I was feeling super bloated and barely peeing all day yesterday. All I know is that it's not real and I want it gone tomorrow so I can have my new Fitbit! ;D I'm also not too far away from my highest pre-pregnancy weight of 182. It felt like an eternity away when I was 212lbs!! Ah crap! Just realized I'm away on business for the last day of the challenge so won't be able to weigh in.

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m 53.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
Gym weight lifting class 2 x week
Walk +/- 7 miles 3 x week
Drink plenty of water, alcohol on weekends only.
11/18-172 Got my big walk in today and was within my calories.
11/19-170-What a difference it makes to be eating right and walking instead of salty food and traveling. Glad to be home.
11/20-169-I’m off to the gym this morning, will make a ground turkey meatloaf. I’m hoping to stay on track.
11/21-167-The gym was a full body workout with cardio, rough but glad I did it. My meatloaf was the best ever-I fried two onions before adding it to the mix. I’ll get a big walk in today.
1/22-168-Got a big walk in, but not enough water, even though I ate good. It’s Friday!!!!!
11/23-165-That is just because I didn’t feel like eating dinner so I had a drink instead. I tried to close out the food diary and got the lecture of not eating enough calories....I was not hungry though, so I lied and told MFP I ate 3 cheese sticks.😂
11/24-168-This will go down tomorrow.That is the result of no walk and 1/2 of a deli sandwich....🤷♀️
11/25-169-It didn’t go down because I sat and sewed all weekend, Ate good and drank water and zero exercise. It’s Monday!
I’m glad you are all here. I have my coffee with you each morning !! 😊☕️12 -

19: 205 Nice start to the round 🙃
20: 204.3
21: 204.5 Fitbit says TOM tomorrow. Expecting I'll see a drop in a couple of days, as it's my usual pattern with hormone shifts.
22: 203.4 Pretty sure this isn't hormone related, but with the timing it could be. @tiabirdie56 It really seems to be! I've done LCHF before with success, but cutting out grains and sugar completely is doing wonders. I feel better than I have in a very long time.
23: 202.6 ♀️ And there's the drop. Exactly 1 pound to my 40-pound milestone. Tomorrow is my partner's birthday, so we're going out for a late lunch and early movie today. I feel pretty confident about navigating my food intake though. After the movie, we'll be going to a few stores for errands, so I should also be able to get some decent steps in. If nothing else, I'll let him peruse Menard's while I walk laps. Wouldn't be the first time. Lol
24: 201.9 ♀️ Even better than I expected! Did great with food, but didn't wander through any large stores.
25: 201.7 ♀️ I was sort of expecting an increase today because I joined a couple of friends to watch football last night and went a little overboard. Instead, "I wonder what the scale would say if I hadn't..." ... Drank that bottle of red wine, then ate a snack at 11pm to offset the alcohol. 🤦♀️ I'm glad this isn't my usual behavior. Also glad it didn't derail me. Need extra water today.

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.15 -
Round 96 - – November 19 –28
Female, 5’, 66 years. Goals – finish calorie log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW – 164.4, GW – 163 something, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Last few rounds I’ve been ever so gradually creeping up. I think I have turned that around though. Have a concert the beginning of Dec. and have to fit into my choir outfit (which I wore in spring though not very comfortably). Could buy something new but it has to be all black which I never wear otherwise and this is my last year before moving away. So, motivation to be less laid back about it.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - 164
11/20 – 164.2
11/21 – 164.2 Weighed the last 2 days but didn’t record as I had a trip to the city and interruptions yesterday. Exercised yesterday but stayed up late. Only small piece of cheese for LNS though.
11/22 – 163.8 – Happy to see this. Ironic that a year ago I would have been sad to see this number because I was dipping into the 150 somethings but still have to remember that I got down there once so I can do it again and keep going.
11/23 – 163.8 – LNS – a mandarin orange and some goji berries but stayed away from crackers and chocolate.
11/24
11/25 – 165 – I’m guessing the uptick is being just a little over cals the last 2 days and LNS on dried (and sweetened) cranberries just before bed. Need to have a plan for tonight as I have choir rehearsal and we have a concert next week but at least one of the key members is on holiday – that leaves me being the one holding it for my section. Always a good stretching experience … just have to get my head around “this too shall pass” and not let it stress me out.

I walked at 3.5 mph for 101 minutes at the school, and I walked 32 minutes at 3.0 at home for a total of 809 extra burned calories.
11/21 …..186.8 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1826 In / 3172 Calories Out. 210 Carbs. 25,480 Total Steps & 10.82 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 2 hours & 3 minutes.

Total extra calorie burn 1142.
11/22 …..185.6 ….. I tried to “shake it up” a bit yesterday to speed up my recovery on the scale and it worked. Less planned exercise but I did take one long walk (2 hours). In diet, I ate lower carb and calorie than I have been lately and made each bit count with GOOD HEALTHY choices. Yesterday’s stats: 1030 Calories In / 2926 Calories Out. 21 Net Carbs. 22,028 Total Steps & 9.32 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 7 hours & 49 minutes to make up for the night before. Wonderful! I took a 2 hours walk in the school halls for an extra burn of 699. Have a great weekend everyone!
11/23 …..185.2 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1400 Calories In / 2871 Calories Out. 86 Net Carbs. 22,215 Total Steps & 9.4 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours.

I slept 4 hours & 54 minutes. I rigorously cleaned a tourist cabin for 27 minutes burning 121 cals & I walked for 71 minutes burning 387 cals. Total extra calorie burn 508. More time socializing and less time exercising, but that does a body good too!
11/25 …..183.6 ….. I am just so happy with that today. Pleased that the hard work is catching up to me. Can I get through the next 2 days of travel without too much over-indulgence & self-sabotage? Honestly, I don’t think so, but knowledge is power so that will help. Strategy? Maybe choose one of the days to stay diligent, go bunless etc and allow myself to enjoy the offerings of a big city on the other. My family Thanksgiving dinner is not until Saturday so that will affect the next round, not this one. Yesterday’s stats: 1156 Calories In / 2672 Calories Out. 29 Net Carbs. 15,317 Total Steps & 6.48 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 24 minutes. I walked for 33 minutes burning 184 cals and I did low-impact aerobics for 32 minutes burning 227 cals. Total extra planned calorie burn was 411. This weight gets me just over goal for the round and I’m thrilled. If I could just hold onto it!
11/26 …..xxxxx ….. Travel Day.
11/27 …..xxxxx ….. Travel Day.
11/28 …..xxxxx ….. Final weigh-in after 2 days of travel. Ugg!

Day | Weight | Delta | Steps | Log | Comments
11/19 | 134.1 | 0.3kg gain | 6,494 steps ✅ | Food Diary ✅ | Ate far too much yesterday, including for dinner, so I'm not surprised by this gain. Though I did get my steps in and met my movement goal (by walking in place in my kitchen last night!) so taking some positives out of that. Drank loads of water but still feel a bit dehydrated so I'll keep that up today as well. Better food choices planned for today to get me back on track.
11/20 | 134.1 | No change | 6,766 steps ✅ | Food Diary ✅ | Yesterday was a good day. I drank loads of water, closed all my Apple watch rings and even managed a little bit of jogging amongst my walking (this is a lot of weight to run with, so I'm happy I could do a minute or two at a time). I did a little bit of yoga last night which felt great and really opened up my hips (one problem area). I'm still working out what fluctuations are normal for me so seeing no change on the scale is fine. I'm also still working out how many calories I should be eating so at this point I'm thinking I need to reduce it some.
11/21 | 134.6kg | +0.1kg | 6,045 steps ✅ | Food Diary ❌ | Busy day at work so didn’t get any exercise in.
11/22 | 134.5kg | -0.1kg | 4,695 steps ❌ | Food Diary ❌ | Day off from work, took baby to the pool for the first time (he hated it!) so was a bit more active than my steps showed.
11/23 | 134.5kg | No change | 4,943 steps ❌ | Food Diary ❌ | Took baby to the pool again this morning, so again I was a little more active. But still didn’t do any exercise to speak of! Had visitors and drank a bit too. Had far too much sugar!!
11/24 |DNW
11/25 | 134.7kg | +0.2kg | 7,319 steps ✅ | Food Diary ❌ | Still had visitors yesterday, so didn't eat well and drank too much! Back on the bandwagon today, and I'm lowering my daily calorie goal so hopefully I can stick to that & keep things moving in the right direction!
11/26 |134.7kg | No change | 7,314 steps ✅ | Food Diary ✅ | I always seem to do better at the beginning of a week but fall apart by the end. I am just so tired all the time. I need to get better sleep, and more sleep! That's probably the catch-cry of all mums with young bubs, but I don't even have that excuse - mine sleeps through the night so it's my own fault that I don't get enough sleep! I need to get to bed earlier. Did ok on calories yesterday, despite having some surprise visitors and a couple of beers.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 123 Happy with today’s weight, had a great day both yesterday and today.
11/20 123.2 It’s always hard to see the scale go up even a little bit. I had a big drop of weight the day prior so overall I am going down.
11/21 122.4 Happy!
11/22 122.4 Same as yesterday. I’ll take it. Ate a little over today. I just sort of ate “normally” and took a break from counting calories starting around 1 pm. Not good! Getting back with it tomorrow! 😀 Persistence is key!
11/23 123.8 Bummer, but I deserve it after yesterday. Back on track today!
11/24 123.8 I had a good day yesterday but still the same weight. My period is due soon and I typically have trouble losing this time of the month. Will stay strong and hope to see it go back down soon.
11/25 123.4 Happy with today’s weigh in.

Last day of this round is Thanksgiving morning. Looking to get back into the 130's and see 138.xx before Thanksgiving, maybe!
11/19 - 142.0
11/20 - 142.0 Sorry I haven't been around. My life took a crazy turn last Friday and I am barely getting it together today. I finished out the last round yesterday and just barely caught up on every bodies progress in round 95 today. I did weigh everyday just never could get time to post. My 18 year old son totaled his car on the freeway on Friday. 2 cars hit him and neither one of them stopped. He is fine, not even a scratch on him, so that is the most important thing. We are now looking for a new car for him and trying to get the insurance and everything settled. On top of all that I woke up Sunday with a lot of pain going down the right side of my body and ended up in urgent care. I had that same rash back now for the 3rd time this year. The first time in April my Dr told me it was a spider bite, the 2nd time in July she told me it was a staph infection, this weekend I was told it was shingles. So for almost a year I have been dealing with this stuff coming and going and it has been shingles the whole time. I had to start the anti-viral meds today and hopefully this will be the end of it. So my weight is up about 2 pounds from last Friday, but I think it's due to stress, being sick, and new meds. Hopefully it will be back down in the next couple of days. Uggghh, I feel better now that I have ranted a little bit, lol.
11/21 - 140.6 at least it is down a little bit. Medicine is making me super sick and have no appetite at all. Hoping I feel better tomorrow and can get back on track. Trying to catch up on this round now, but am still behind!
11/22 - 138.7 This is a new low for me, but I definitely think this is a false low. I have barely eaten anything in the last 2 days because of the shingle meds. I am on. They don't make me sick or anything. I just have 0 appetite and even the smell or look of food disgust me right now. I am also exhausted, I have not slept in 2 nights because of all of this. I am hoping to go to bed early tonight and maybe feel better tomorrow. I had a very mild case, so the pain isn't that bad at all. We will see what happens the rest of this round I guess.
11/23 - 137.1 Did all the Thanksgiving shopping today. We will see what my husband says when he sees the checking account, lol. We have about 25-30 people coming, so it's going to be a lot of organizing on my part.
11/24 - 137.1 Still not eating a whole lot. I have figured between 500-700 calories a day for the last 4 days. Maybe tomorrow I can up it a bit more. Finally feel normal again and have some energy back. Did all the laundry, cleaned the kids rooms and the rest of the house.
11/25 - 137.1 I am hoping this is a real number. but I am sure I will see a bounce up as soon as soon as I can eat a full meal. Tomorrow is my last day on the medicine, just in time for Thanksgiving. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but I am ready to feel normal again. I am officially in maintenance if I can hold on to this. It's funny because for the last 2 months I have been working to get between 135-138 and couldn't. I get shingles and boom I hit my maintenance goals. I would never wish this on anybody, but it was helpful in my weight journey, lol. 3 more days and I am hoping I can finish in the 130's somewhere.
