69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
Trying to get back to walking 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year.
Left hip and knee bothering me a lot.

Ready for my round 33
OSW 88KG
RSW 59.45 kg (-28.55kg) or {- 62.9lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
11/19 59.95kg.not worried as I usually start the week like this and my body was totally empty after my tummy issues! 😳
11/20 60.15kg and I jumped off quickly before it changed its mind. Was high on calories yesterday but that will probably show up tomorrow. Gym crazy busy this morning.
11/21 60.75kg deserved and expected as calories at the high end. Need to get a handle on after work before dinner snacking which is a new issue this month!
11/22 60.15kg and a killer session in the gym. So ready for the weekend
11/23 60.3kg....scale couldn't choose between 60.15 and 60.45 so I split the difference.
11/24 60.15 kg which still leaves me up for the round so far and no real change since this time in October. So looking at the NSV.- since I started in January I have lost 8 inches from my chest (still a D-cup😉), 9.5 from both my waist and hips, and 5.5 from each thigh! I started out a size 18 and now wear a size 12 (UK size which is 38 in Euro and 8 in US) and sometimes a 10. 6 weeks until the end of the year and only 2 kg to get off...
11/25 61.25kg after a revolting eating day yesterday with massive overdose of calories for no reason. It will go up for a few days so I need to focus on getting back under for Sunday my weigh in day. Going back to basic keto and no snacks. Gym done already today.
11/26 60.75kg. Was perfect on calories and macros yesterday and no snacking at all. Going to do the same today.
11/27 60.75kg was hoping for a loss after another good day. It will come. The gym was conquered!
11/28 60.30kg scale struggling between 60.1 and 60.55 so I split it again. Yesterday was within calories and macros with 3 workouts. I'm hoping to keep it going over the weekend.
Gain this round 0.85kg {1.9 lbs}

Round 96 (my 18th)
It’s crunch time for my students, so I’ll be holding extra office hours and workshops to help them get caught up before Thanksgiving break. This round, I really want to push myself to get out and walk, as I could use the mental space as well as the exercise.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 – 176.6 – It’s always nice to see a drop at the start of a round. Tuesday is my busiest day this semester, but a workshop and a last-minute commitment made this an especially tough one. No time to walk, but I met my calorie goals.
11/20 – 176.6 – Took my daughter out to lunch today for a little "mom TLC." She hit a deer on the highway last night and, although she wasn't injured, she was tired and shaken. She's also without a car. No walk and over on salt, sugar, and calories. I won’t be surprised to see a bounce in the next couple of days, but that's okay. Back on track tomorrow.
11/21 – 177.2 – As predicted, there’s that bounce. Small, but motivating. I stayed on track and met my goals today, including the walk. I had to really push myself to go, but the park was lovely in the hour before dusk and before long I could feel the tension dissolve.
11/22 – 177.2 – Rainy day, so I did some household chores before picking my grandsons up from school. Opened a bottle of wine for the grown-ups and made a salad to go with the kids’ choice of take-out for an easy dinner. Bacon pizza and pinot noir put me over my goal (but still under maintenance). With all the holiday prep ahead, it was a relaxing start to a busy weekend.
11/23 – 176.2 – Surprised to see a drop today, but hey, I’ll take it!. Walked in the park with my husband and then we split up the chores. He put the Christmas lights up outside and I got the fun job of cleaning out the fridge and the big freezer in the garage. Watching a whole lot of ice cream melt in the sink was a lesson in how my eating habits have changed – for the better! Now I just have to adjust my shopping habits. Met my calorie goal even with an extra glass of wine and a small piece of chocolate. Overall, another good day, but I'm wiped out! I'll catch up with all your posts tomorrow
11/24 – 176.6 – Trying to avoid putting more stuff in the fridge this week left me with an odd assortment of things to use up, so today’s meals were less well-balanced than I’d have liked. Over on calories, carbs, and salt. Ah, well…at least I stayed under maintenance calories. On the upside, I also made a minimally sweetened four-berry syrup with fruit I’d frozen this summer. It should make a gorgeous brunch cocktail mixed with prosecco next weekend 😊
11/25 – 177.6 – This is certainly a roller coaster round. Hope this is the top of the hill. Met my calorie gal but didn’t have time to walk. Too much to do before Thursday.
11/26 – 176.8 – And we’re headed down again…at least for now. I’d planned to do my final pre-holiday grocery shop after my morning class, but the day was so gorgeous that I headed to the beach for a walk instead. It took a while, but eventually all the stress dropped away and, although I still have tons to do before my guests arrive on Thursday, I feel calmer and less distracted. Well under my calorie limit today, and banking a little extra for the holiday treats.
11/27 – 176.2 – Busy day, but I got in my walk and goofed around in the park with my daughter and her boys. Stayed up way too late prepping, but less to do tomorrow.

4.- Stay on current weight or less
Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:
11/19 152.8 (-1.6) 1194 cal, 4310 steps, very surprised by this drop but who am I to complain I did feel like doing a happy dance this morning when I saw the scales as it's the first time in 10 years that I've seen 152.x which is under 70kg!! 😉 On a different subject,I’m painting my living room at home, which isn’t the best of ideas in winter, but it’s keeping me active and stopping me from snacking in the evenings! Today I’m going to the gym at lunch time and painting the 2nd layer on the ceiling this evening. Food is generally on track and I've downloaded an app to remind me to drink more water.
11/20 153.4 (+0.6) 1268 cal, 14.283 steps, 3.85 km run. A good day all over yesterday. A slight gain today but not too worried. I spent a good month oscillating between 154.x and 153.x so I’m hoping now that it’ll be between 153 and 152 😉 Nothing special planned today but the usual and painting this evening.
11/21 153.4 (0.0) Status quo, food was on target but I didn’t do any major activity than paint my living room after work in the evening! I’m going to the gym for a short workout during my lunch hour, tonight more painting and that’s about I !
11/22 152.2 (-1.2) way over on calories, 10013 steps, 3km run. Great loss but I think it’s a fluke and I’m pretty sure it’ll be up tomorrow. I had cake yesterday and some chocolates so it’s bound to go up lol Yesterday evening I went for a quick run and then continued painting the living room till 10pm. I’m hurting all over I think it’s due to the painting not the run lol I should be finished by tomorrow, I've had enough of painting now
Then I have the weekend to clean and put everything back in place. I’m going out tonight so that’ll be hard, I think I’ll plan a good dinner so I’m not hungry. It’s a board games evening which is normally chips and beer, I’ll have to bring some healthy options but it’ll be hard to resist!
11/23 DNW
11/24 155.6 (+3.4)
11/25 154.4 (-1.2) so the weekend was a total wipe-out, I visibly did too much these last couple of weeks and I was sick all weekend with an arthritis flare and ended up eating emergency rations from the freezer as my hands were so painful (pizzas and frozen tv dinners). I think I need to get some healthier emergency rations in my freezer for the next flare. Still hurting all over today but at least not bedridden, however I'm going to have to skip any exercise till all the swelling goes down. Also going to try and be extra careful this week as we're going to visit family in Switzerland on Thursday for a long weekend, I know the food there is not exactly diet friendly.
11/26 154.4 Status quo, I was under calories but with no exercise I think I'm stuck here for a while. If I manage to stay around this weight till the New Year I'll be happy tbh.
11/27 153.0 (-1.4) Very surprised at this loss but of course I'm not going to complain, however I wouldn't be surprised if it went back up tomorrow. I was on track with calories and drank more water than usual (1.6l which is enormous for me lol), also I didn't snack between meals (normally I have fruit between meals), I'll try and copy that trend today to see if it works or if it was just a fluke. As I can't run for the moment I tried a Pilates introduction app this morning, it's got a 15 day trial so I'll see how it goes for the next two weeks before signing up for the month
11/28 153.0 (0.0) Status quo but still happy about the loss for this round which was unexpected! I was over calories by about 200 yesterday, drank my 1.5l water. No exercise as hurting all over and joints very stiff but it'll pass eventually. We're flying out to Geneva tonight for a long weekend so I expect a big gain after the weekend however I do plan on enjoying it

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.

11/26- 150.6
11/27- 149.4
11/28- 149.2 Thanksgiving isn’t my favorite meal but I will have to watch my calories. My gym is having a fun morning group workout and I’ll throw in a spin class so I start off in a good place.
Final Average - 149.3!!!! Very happy with this, especially since I’m building lean muscle. I’m eating at the top of my calories and have been increasing my carbs.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 177.2lbs! Holy hell - this has GOT to be from eating out 4 days in a row, even if I am trying to make good choices. I'm sure I've had more sodium in the last week than in the prior month. Also, very little sleep these last days: 4h13m/58. This is not a great start to the new round, but better than ending it like this!
11/20 177.2lbs 6h16m/80 - training this morning... I am not letting this get in my head.
11/21 176.3lbs 6h33m/77 - it may not be a whoosh, but at least it's coming off. Good lesson to learn early on in my gym challenge... severely limit restaurant meals. NSVs help, too... a pair of workout capris are loose now - like, I can't wear them for cardio loose, or I'll lose them. 😉
11/22 176.8lbs 6h47m/82 - frustrated and upset. Will talk to my trainer, maybe cut my calories. B is not a happy camper right now.
11/23 176.8lbs 8h2m/91 - I want to cry. Or scream.
11/24 179.0lbs 6h37m/75 F me.
11/25 178.8lbs 7h0m/83
11/26 176.4lbs 6h54m/83
11/27 176.4lbs 5h4m/70
11/28 175.8lbs 5h54m/77 - back in the right direction, but this is the 1st round I've ended higher than I began (even higher than I ended the previous round!)... That bums me out, but I have some strong NSVs to carry me through. I am 30+ lbs down from my OSW. That's not bad progress in 4 months. I want to break this plateau and need to dig in with more cardio, but I think my freakout is over. 💪😎

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.

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.
11/26 – 145.5 – The good news is I didn’t bump up again. The bad news is that I can feel the few pounds I have gained since I quit smoking and I’m coming up on 4 days of Thanksgiving and OSU/Michigan game parties. However, with the inspiration from this group, I’m going to enjoy the next week and then get back on track in time for Christmas parties. Even if I gain a few more pounds, if I didn’t have this community, I would have gained a LOT more by now.
11/27 - 145
11/28 – 144.5 – Happy Thanksgiving to all my U.S. friends! See you all next round.

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.
11/28 (T) 145.0 Nice! I've survived a spike and ended the round with a loss. The round starting weight was part of a whoosh that is always followed by a bump up, and I had a couple of high sodium days, so even though I didn't hit goal, I'm quite pleased. My Trend Weight is down almost a full pound, and that has me doing a happy dance.
Yesterday was another crazy busy day. I was on the go from 10am until almost 9pm. Even though I'm off my eating plan and skipping the strength training, I purposely ate very light and got in lots of activity.
I'm a bit worried about dinner today. I'll watch what I'm eating and log all of it, but I intend to enjoy having the family around.
This is the beginning of a tough time of year for many, I hope everyone is surrounded with love and light this Thanksgiving. 🦃
See you on R97!

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.
11/28: 159.0-60 minutes on the elliptical. No loss this round, but muscles gained. Happy Thanksgiving!🍁 See you in round 97.10 -

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.
11/26: 134.6 I didn't do it again. I ate a lot of cheese for dinner. That was silly.
11/27: 134.4 stayed very close to green. My husband says "what goes up must come down" so I'm listening to this 😆 I didn't exercise because of the schedule. I could have worked it in but felt bored. I probably would not have been bored if I just went! Today I have my meals planned and will be cooking this evening in prep for tomorrow.
11/28: 133.6 yay I'm glad to end the round with a loss.11 -
Goals this round.... Little to no added sugar; very limited flour products; mostly plant-based foods; calories below maintenance.

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?

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 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.

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.

Heavy lunch, but then unintentionally skipped dinner. Looked at the time and it was past 10. Had a late night snack and went to bed. Also finished shopping for Thanksgiving dinner!

Leftover Day for probably most of the next week. I have a few days worth in my fridge now and there will only be more after Thanksgiving.

Another leftover day. I have everything prepped and ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow. It's just me and my fiance so it won't be a big thing but that won't stop me from eating way too many mashed potatoes!

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.
11/28--205.9 Turkey Trot this morning, I'm really just doing w6d1 of c25k and then walking the rest of the distance, and then meeting up with inlaws for an early Thanksgiving lunch/dinner.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
Do you take measurements? I’m terrible at that myself but if you are losing FAT and gaining MUSCLE your weight may not change but your body composition will. A pound is a pound but muscle takes up less space! - Jpv, 11/22/19

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.
11/18 122.0
***********
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.
11/28 121.0 My fast ended after 43.5 hours. I felt awesome the whole time. I will probably do this again next week.
Happy Thansgiving to my MFP Family! Blessings to you all.

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.

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.
11/28 270.4 My body likes this weight it seems. It’s okay though I still lost a bit this round and I’m not worried. It’s around when I ovulate, which causes a stall and I’ve been more active, which causes water retention. As for today I have a plan in place and if I stick to it I will be just a little under my normal calorie deficit, but still have had all the foods I really want today. Here’s hoping that the extra pies we have do not tempt me away from my plan.
TRL -3.6
Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US! One thing I am thankful for is this group and all of you.

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.
11/28: 216.2 (-2.2)/18.1 (-0.2). First of all, HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!! I am incredibly thankful for this group, which is here even when I'm not. I always know I have a place to come back to, even if I wander off the path for a bit. Thanks to any and all of you who check in with me occasionally, but thanks even if you don't. The love and energy in this group is something I have never found anywhere else (including friends/family/spouse), and it's healing. I love every single one of you, whether you're struggling at the moment or experiencing incredible success. This life is a marathon, and you all are my teammates, my sponsors, and my friends. Peace and love to you all. And, again, most of all, thank you
This felt a bit like an "off" round for me, but this is why I do the "numbers" below. I did not have any huge lapses, even if it felt like I struggled at times.
R96 EW/EBF%: 216.2 (-1.0)/18.1 (-0.1), AW/ABF%: 217.0 (+0.7)/18.17 (+0.07)11 -
Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Americans.4
