Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 168 (-1)
11/20 167 (-1) Tough week at work and lots of bad choices so I have to workout more.
11/21 165 (-2) This is the lowest I’ve weighed in 17 years. Hard work is starting to pay off, looks like the cheat meals have helped my metabolism.
11/22 164(-1) Happy with this number but going into the weekend:( staying positive
11/23 166.5 +2.5 I knew this was coming, had lots of carbs and salt. Today is a rest day so I will probably be up again 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.
11/26 - 171.4
But I think my scale is off because I did step on the dr’s scale yesterday, after a big breakfast and fully clothed including shows, and it read 175. One of them is obviously off. Anyway, it’s fine for now. My bloodwork is all spot on, bp 118/76, and I feel great. I’m not going to bend myself out of shape about the weight and focus instead on eating whole, unprocessed foods and cutting back on snacks. I’m reading Michael Pollen’s In Defense of Food (Yes, I’m 10 years behind) and it’s an interesting read, especially re. macros and other individual nutrients. Anyone else read it?

Original High Starting Weight 178 (March 2019)
SW this round 165.8
GW this round 164. 8
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.
11/26 165.0 Accomplished goals, no breakfast, apparently breakfast is bad for me.
11/27 165.2 I did not get my walk in yesterday due to going to town, takes up my whole day but did get 10,000 steps in and also made out ok considering son wanted to eat at Dairy Queen and I had a small blizzard. Today is Thanksgiving meal prep. Goal no snacking while prepping.
11/28 Thanksgiving

Round 96 Goal: 157.8
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.
11/26: 159.0-Just stretches yesterday. Time to tighten up the tracking.
11/27: 159.0-Going nowhere fast! 😆 Had a wonderful 50 minute walk yesterday, the weather was glorious; soaked up the sun and the scents of autumn.

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!
11/24 120.5
11/25 121.0
11/26 122.5 Dinner out with friends. I ate sweet potato fries - not all of them but enough! It’s okay, they were worth it. I didn’t sleep worth a darn last night. I was hot, cold, hot, cold. We had turned the heat up because of DH’s cold and didn’t turn it down at bedtime.
11/27 121.0 I have been fasting since Monday at about 5:15pm. What’s amazing to me is that I’m not ravenous! I have had water coffee, coconut oil, and cream only. I will eat sometime today.9 -

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.
11/26 161.9 Back down again. When I saw 163 it took the wind out of my sails a little, I knew it would come down and it did but weight loss is like an uphill journey all the way. It can be exhausting. I have three days to lose 2 pounds and one of those days is Thanksgiving. HAHAHAHAHA Ok, Round 97 is my Round to get out of Obeseland.
11/27 161.9 Still. I was good calorie and sodium wise yesterday. I did weights last night at the gym so maybe that's why I'm not down any at all - a small bit of retention? Not going for a month really made a difference in what I could lift and how many reps I do before my limbs feel like jello. Sunny and cold today, I get off around 2 ish so I'll be walking before going to the store to get the stuff for the one thing I have to cook for Thanksgiving. Happy Turkey Day tomorrow. I've decided I'm going to stay under 2,000 calories - which will be a challenge my SIL is an excellent cook.

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.

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.

Back for Round 96
Female / Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)
Intro:Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.
Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.
Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.
Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.
A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.
Round StatsR95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0
Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.
R96 Challenges: I'm hosting Thanksgiving for the first time in several years. Son is truly invested in "tradition" - meaning high sugar, high carbs. I'm going to have to plan a menu that balances that with healthy. And, I'm going to have to balance "treat" with discipline for myself.
R96 SW: 145.3 (11/18 This is a whoosh, I'm expecting a small spike.)
R96 GW: 144.0 (Should be doable even with a spike.)
11/19 (T) 144.7 Ok. I'm in shock. No bounce? I've been on plan, so maybe I've busted through? It's been a full week since I tweaked the plan to add fruit to breakfast and a handful of spinach at lunch. And it's been a good exercise week. Only one spike - and that was a sodium bloat. So maybe ...
11/20 (W) 144.7 Still no spike. Dare I believe it?! Good day yesterday. Ate within plan. Got my strength exercises in early. Mornings are proving better for me than evenings - and possibly more effective. I've been tied to the desk this week, so my steps (and overall calories burn on Fitbit) are down. Will need to party Attention to that and start moving more.
11/21 (T) 145.3 There it is. And more of a bounce than spike Missed workout yesterday and ate later than normal, violating my no calories after 8pm. I'm working on a deadline at work - looking forward to December when things settle down to normal crazy.
11/22 (F) 145.0 Did pretty good on Thursday. Started feeling a bit "puny." Listened to my body and just rested, skipping workout.
11/23 (S) 145.6 Tough couple of days. Felt "something" coming on. Loaded up on Emergen-C and just got some rest. Scale has bounced up, but trend continues to drop. I'm feeling better today and will ease back onto plan.
Lots to do to prep for Thanksgiving. I'm off work until the week after, so I can tackle it a bit at a time. Expect activity to increase which should set me back on track. 👣
11/24 (S) 146.1 Saturday was a wash. Energy levels low. Husband cooked from cupboard, so high sodium day.
11/25 (M) 146.4 I did get back to my workout on Sunday! The day started out well enough. I think this is still bloat from Saturday's sodium.
11/26 (T) 146.2 Yesterday was much better. Started the holiday cleaning, but moved outside with the milder weather. Cleaned up the front garden and swept pine needles from the porch and front walk. Stayed on plan. Today's the shopping and the rest of the cleaning.
11/27 (W) 145.1 Crazy busy and active day yesterday getting ready for tomorrow. Stayed in plan. Actually came in low on calories 😊 Another busy day today, so activity will be up. I have plenty of healthy options for today's meals. I should be able to get to this round's starting weight by weigh in tomorrow. While I'm recovering from the spike, it was probably to late in the round to recover and hot goal, but that's ok. These daily notes are really helping me connect the dots with what works and what doesn't.

R96 End Results

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.

11/26 - 177.0 Better. Going to work for another loss tomorrow
11/27 - 176.6 Is it possible that I could have a small loss for this round - YES! The over indulgence from last weekend is almost gone and I'm feeling encouraged and motivated going into a food-filled holiday. I WILL be mindful of every forkful. It will be enjoyed but not overdone. Small portions will win this holiday! Happy Thanksgiving.10 -

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.
11/21 185.8 Come onnn, big drop tomorrow plz!! ;D

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.
11/26 270.4 And as mysteriously as it appeared the gain is gone. I happily got my back to let up with a lot of tlc in the morning and by the afternoon I was good to go and ended the day with 11k in steps again. I’m not looking forward to it being colder over the next few days because the nice weather makes me want to get out and walk.
11/27 270.2 Hopefully this is the start of a downward trend again. I’m taking an easier day today in hopes of letting up some of the achiness and water retention.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19--206.7 Did too much snacking yesterday. It was raining yesterday, so I didn't get to run. I think the weather is going to be better today, so I will try for the run again tonight.
11/20--205.9 I was this weight 4 days ago, let's see if it holds this time. Finished w5d2 of c25k yesterday. Strength coach tonight.
11/21--205.6 Tough workout yesterday. Rest day today.
11/22--205.6
11/23--206.7 Yesterday I started to feel like I was coming down with a cold, so I didn't workout yesterday. Instead, yesterday evening, I decided it would be better to do a lot of snacking, so today the weight is up and my stomach isn't feeling that great. My plan today had been to go out for a run and take the dog out for a long walk, but since I am still feeling under the weather I will be staying at home and drinking a lot of liquids. Hopefully the rest will keep me from getting a full blown cold.
11/24--207.6 Feeling a little better, but throat is still scratchy so no workout with my strength coach today. If the weather holds up I want to go out for at least a little walk, I feel weird not doing much over the last 24 hours. Another day of rest for me.
11/25--207.0 Just finished w5d3 of c25k...that's a 20 minute run! Did some extra snacking this evening and didn't drink much water today. We'll see how that affects the scale tomorrow
11/26--206.5 Rest day today. Goal is to drink more water today.
11/27--207.0 Signed up for a Turkey Trot happening tomorrow. Strength coach tonight.

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!
11/26-It was awfully windy here yesterday and a walk was not a good idea. So, I sewed all day. Today I’ll get a big walk in before I go to work for a while. I am really glad to be in the 160’s.
11/27-166-Whew! A downward whoosh. Our boys will get here today, I can’t wait to see them.💚
I’m glad you are all here. I have my coffee with you each morning !! 😊☕️9 -

11/20 - 159.1 - That is not the right direction!
11/21 - 158.7
11/22 - 158.1
11/23 - 158.4 - back to my EW from round 95
11/24 - 159.6 - No explanation for this gain of 1/2, so hopefully just a blip.
11/25 - 158.7
11/26 - 158.2 - happy to be under my EW from last round. I think that this 10-day format is great, no time to say that I will make it up later in the month : - }
11/27 - 159.7 - Of course not happy with that number. I am going out to dinner tonight, so don't have great hopes for the 10th day of the challenge. I will have some good workouts today to try to mitigate.

Average loss per round: 1.09 lbs/0.13% BF
Goal(s) for this round (unchanged from last round): Get under 215.0 and stay there. Keep up my progress 1) planning better when I'm having "cheat" days (parties, eating out with family and friends, et cetera), 2) limiting alcohol intake (no more than two drinks on any occasion, stick with red wine or spirit + diet soda) and 3) continuing to lift weights at the gym 3x/wk.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19: 215.6 (-1.6)/18.0 (-0.2). I'm still feeling stressed, but this weigh-in feels closer to where I actually am. I have officially gone from barely fitting into my XL shirts to fitting comfortably in most of my L shirts. Gotta love the NSVs; . I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow to hit the gym, but I'm excited get back at it (haven't been since Friday).
11/20: 216.0 (+0.4)/18.1 (+0.1). I met with an old friend for dinner last night. I kept things under control, but it was definitely "off-plan." I am planning on going to the gym tonight, with or without my wife. She just texted me to let me know that she is going to the dentist after work, so it's ME ALONE AGAINST THE GYM!!!
11/21: 217.2 (+1.2)/18.2 (+0.1). It was too cold last night for me to go to the gym on my motorcycle. And my wife brought home food from one of my favorite places. I ate half, and took the other half for lunch today, but it seems obvious that it has affected my weigh-in. Stress at work has got in the way of my going to the gym as much as I would like, and that (I think) has limited my progress in the last week. I'm not beating myself up, though. At this moment, as I think about my circumstances, I am pretty happy to be "where I'm at." My stress will pass, and I will get back into my routine. Even as I have been slacking, I have still never gone less than once per week to the gym. I'm just talking out loud.
11/22: 217.2 (0.0)/18.2 (0.0). @tiabirdie56 I AM ready to get back into the gym! It's "gym or bust" tonight, and, despite next week being Thanksgiving, I'm going to get back into my good habits RIGHT NOW. Skipping the gym is one of those warning signs that sometimes (often) leads me off-track. So is stress. I still feel like I'm "okay," but it's time to "right the ship." I already have my "relatively healthy" reward dinner all planned out. Today will be a good day, and next week is a two-day work-week, so I have even more to look forward to! I also just looked up and realized I'm at my SW for the round. Things could be so much worse...
11/23: 216.4 (-0.8)/18.1 (-0.1). I hit the gym last night with my wife. Because I have not been as consistent over the past two weeks, I took it a little easy (didn't try to hit any "max" weights). I ate well during the day, and overall it was a pretty good day. Tonight my wife and I are celebrating 8 years of marriage (actual date was 11/19), and we have been together for 16 years. No matter how messed up life can be, I know that I have the "love" department covered. I forget sometimes how lucky I am, but it's always there if I just let my mind get quiet. We'll be going out, and I'll try to figure out a way to stay on track (even if I eat ribs, or a steak). I'll definitely be eating light for breakfast and lunch in anticipation. No alcohol. If I have a dessert/sweet, it will be 400 calories or less. I will also be at the gym tomorrow morning, no matter what.
11/24: 217.8 (+1.4)/18.2 (+0.1). Didn't post this day. I made it to the gym, but my wife and I had two sets of visitors to the house that I did not plan for, and I lost myself a little bit food-/drink-wise.
11/25: 217.2 (-0.6)/ 18.2 (0.0). I had the day off from work, and my neck and shoulder were hurting again. I find upper-body pain (especially when I know it's back-related) really demotivating. I was pretty much in bed all day.
11/26: 218.0 (+0.8)/18.3 (+0.1). I had a long weekend, things got a little squirrelly, and I really need to get back on track. Still, this could be much worse. I'll be going to the gym with my wife tomorrow. I'm already trying to prepare myself for Thanksgiving. I miss basketball. No matter what, I will NOT let myself hit 220 again. Ever.
11/27: 218.4 (+0.4)/18.3 (0.0). I haven't been tracking my food for a while; I got to the point that I "thought" I was doing a good job of keeping track in my head (which I probably was... but things have been slipping lately). While I always knew this was not the best idea in the world, I am officially going back to tracking everything on a daily basis. I need to right this ship ASAP. I'm still "okay." Thanksgiving will be a day of self-reflection and self-control. Truth be told, I actually don't really like Thanksgiving dinner, so I think my goal is doable. Gym tonight, with or without my wife.

11/19 130.4, today’s my birthday and I have a lot of events this week (Some celebratory and some business related) so hoping can continue to build on the momentum of last week, but set a cautious goal for the week.
11/20 129.9, thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! I didn’t indulge too much yesterday but going to a Mexican restaurant tonight so will have some chips, guacamole and a margarita to celebrate!
11/21 130.0, back to the gym today but going to start slow since it’s been a few days without going and do 30 minutes. Going to an opera tonight so cheese platter and a glass of champagne for dinner
11/22 129.8, first night in a while that I don’t have anything to do so will be watching hallmark movies with the dog. I have some chicken and pineapple salsa so will make a rice bowl for dinner.
11/23 130.6
11/24 129.8
11/25 129.8, lunch and dinner prepped from yesterday. Gym for an hour and household errands are on the agenda so when I start cooking on Wednesday I’m set up in a good position. I’m making 3 dishes for my family’s thanksgiving dinner, which aren’t hard but I tend to not time things super well so really going to try to be organized this year.
11/26 129.8, busy day and won’t be able to go the gym/ lunch provided by work so it’s not the healthiest but these days happen. Going to Lower my expectations for the next month to 1-2 lbs of weight loss. I started mfp on 12/1/18 (was so strict last year that may take it a bit easier this year to also enjoy the season)
11/27 129.7, inching closer to goal of 129.5 for this round but still glad with the progress since my TOM should happen any day now.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/18 …..185.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/19 …..185.8 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1004 Calories In / 2780 Calories Out. 40 Net Carbs. 21,201 Total Steps & 8.97 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 12 minutes. I walked at 3.25 mph for 97 minutes doing school-hall walking and I walked for 32 minutes at 3.0 mph with a planned walk around my property. Total extra calorie burn 750.
11/20 …..184.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1153 Calories In / 2829 Calories Out. 133 Carbs (ouch!). 19,172 Total Steps & 8.11 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours (due to dinner guests) and I slept 4 hours & 25 minutes waking up refreshed. 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. I walked for 97 minutes burning 523, I walked for 59 minutes burning 324, I walked for 40 minutes burning 177 and I danced for 19 minutes burning 118. Sample song- “Centerfold” by J. Geils”. 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 & 14 minutes & woke up feeling good. I rigorously cleaned tourist cabins for 23 minutes, walked at the school for 129 minutes at about 3.5 mph and I danced for 27 minutes. Sample song “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson. Total extra calorie burn was 1078.
11/24 …..185.0 ….. Yay! Another small drop. Yesterday’s stats: 1235 Calories In / 2733 Calories Out. 24 Net Carbs. 17,144 Total Steps & 7.25 Total Miles. 12/13 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 …..184.0 ….. Travel Day. First travel was cancelled, then reinstated with a very late start so I am posting tonight now that I’m home. I’m not sure what happened with the scale this morning. Everything went perfectly yesterday. I stuck strictly to my eating plan & even got in extra exercise & activity. I do admit that I was low on water and sleep (as usual) but otherwise, a perfect day! I guess I’ll call it a normal fluctuation, perhaps from activity. Yesterday’s stats: 1286 Calories In/2800 Calories Out. 33 Net Carbs. 22,170 Total Steps & 9.38 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 25 minutes. I danced for 24 minutes burning 136 cals, I walked for 108 minutes at 3.0 mph burning 582 cals, I walked another 40 minutes burning 195 cals, and I did another dance session for 23 minutes burning 138 cals. Sample song- “You make my dreams come true.” By Hall & Oates. I typed my weight in neutral black because I know I did everything right. Travel plans cancelled for tomorrow, thank Goodness. I kept my quantity within reason today during travel, but my choices are another story! So glad it won’t be two days in a row!
11/27 …..187.8 ….. Travel today cancelled and I am so grateful. Shocked at scale this morning because I really felt I practiced restraint. My portions were very small. I swear, if I sniff a carb its at least 2 pounds on the scale, and if I eat them-well, you can see what happens! Today will be full of restraint at home. And lots of @tiabirdie56 Parsley Tea. My Thanksgiving dinner is not until Saturday, so I’ve got a couple of days to get back down before another explosion of food. Yesterday’s stats with calorie counts & carbs are unclear due to the restaurant food. I can report 14,112 Total Steps. 5.89 Total Miles. Calorie burn unclear because my fitbit was on my shoes and it over-counts and is inaccurate with that stat. 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 6 hours & 11 minutes and woke up EXHAUSTED. Wanted to sleep more but couldn’t due to work commitments. I walked for 199 minutes at 2.5 mph and burned 859 cals. I danced before I left for 22 minutes burning 131 cals. Total extra calorie burn 990. Sample song - "Gonna make you sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" by C & C Music Factory. It's a 90's dance tune and It's true, it really did make me sweat! I hope everyone will have a wonderful Holiday tomorrow with their families. I am Thankful for so much…..
11/28 …..xxxxx ….. Final weigh-in after 2 days of travel. Ugg!
11 -
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.
11/26 – 164.8
11/27 – 164.2 – Finally made it to the gym yesterday. Felt so good after months away, only did 1 hr so not too sore today.

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.
26: 202.5 ♀️ Felt bloated this morning when I stepped on the scale. Not gonna fret though since I've significantly surpassed my goal for this round already.
27: 202.8 Not enough water? Not enough veggies because I haven't been eating salads with the romaine recall? Normal fluctuation? All of the above? Still down over 3 pounds this round. It's all good.

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.10 -
@HoopsGuy72 I know what you mean about tracking and logging. For me it’s weighing and measuring- I’ll think I’ve mastered a serving of salad dressing or peanut butter but slowly it creeps up until I’m polishing off a jar of PB in three “servings”. Lol it’s good to check in with reality!8

@musicsax thank you for your beautiful message. We also were lucky to have my mum looking after him while we both worked, for the last 6 months. I loved watching him just light up when she would arrive, their relationship is beautiful and I hope it always stays that way! I am also wanting to raise him to be confident & independent so having his daddy with him every day will help with that too. I just fear missing out on so much. But I will try to stay positive!8

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.
11/27 | 134.4kg | -0.3kg | 6,971 steps ✅ | Food Diary ✅ | Definitely ate my emotions last night, and only had 4.5 hours of sleep in total (which was very broken up). It was hubby's last day of work yesterday before he becomes a stay-at-home-dad to our almost 1-year old. Part of me is very excited and happy to have him out of that toxic workplace, but I'm also anxious about our finances with one income, and I suppose somewhat jealous that it's not me that can stay at home. I love my job, but given a choice I wouldn't be here (but since I earn more than hubby, it makes more sense this way). He went out with his workmates last night, which had me worried about him being hungover today and looking after the little one. I have to work, so he'll just have to suck it up. At least the scale moved in the right direction, though I'm not sure why!
11/28 | 135.0kg | +0.6kg | 5,794 steps ❌ | Food Diary ✅ | I am fairly certain that today's jump is water retention from eating too much sodium. There's no way I ate enough calories in a day to gain that much real weight! Even my bad day before was around maintenance level of calories! So I will cop this weight on the chin with the knowledge that it WILL go down again soon.
Overall, a gain of 1.2kg this round. I'm not happy with that, though I also know that my start weight was a dip and my end weight was a spike, so I was a little unlucky in that respect. I am looking to reduce how much I eat and increase my exercise amount as I know I need to do more than most to shift the weight (I have PCOS and since my hormones are all out of whack, it makes weight loss much harder).
Happy Thanksgiving to all those in the USA! It's not a holiday we celebrate in Australia, but I do adore some of your traditions and I even cooked a roast turkey roll last weekend (I know, it was early, and I know, it wasn't a traditional turkey but they're generally not available here!). I wish you all a happy holiday and hope you spend it with your loved ones close by. See you all in Round 97!!9 -

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
11/24 112.0, 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
11/26 111.4, BF% 26.5 Yes! started back down! Heavy weight day + higher calories today, so it may bounce around.
11/27. 111.8, BF% 26.7% oh yeah DOMS! (and TMI food retention) Spin class this morning, and walking on the track (help stretch out hams/glutes after the deadlifts yesterday) and then starting Thanksgiving prep! Baked pumpkin for pie, made bourbon molasses ice cream base, dry brined the turkey breasts and almost done with spiced pecans. If I can stay away from the spiced pecans I may be OK for the end of the round LOL!

24/11: 149.8: Goals 🌻 😱 I did not expect this. I’m sure it’ll jump back up tomorrow!!!
25/11: 150.1: Goals 🌻 Not too bad. Just a normal daily fluctuation that will go as quickly as it came 🤞🏻
26/10: 152.6: Goals 🌻 This week I am getting back to some serious strength training. I am feeling the burn, and I suspect that the weight gain is mostly water retention from the extra working out. It isn't always about the scale number. Muscle toning has an inevitable effect, as denser muscle replaces fat cells. However, the resulting loss of size is the compensation. And staying around the lower 150s will suffice for now. It's a great improvement from the 170s I was at at the end of July. 3 more rounds will see us almost to the new year. Let's see what we can do by then!
27/10: 151.2: Goals 🌻 Happy that it's not up again. I could have waited until Jan to restart my strength training, but it seemed sensible not to put it off. It'll settle down soon enough. So no worries.

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.
