Dropped calories by 60, carbs down to 40g, not much change in macros. 😐 I'll stay with this for a week or two and see what happens. Last night, first strength workout in 2 weeks.

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.

11/21 166.0 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.

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.16 -
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
11/24 - 177.6
11/25 - 179.2
No words. Just have to try harder. Its not going to be an easy week

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.16 -

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?

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.
I’m glad you are all here. I have my coffee with you each morning !! 😊☕️12 -

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!

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.

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.

***********
11/19 122.5 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 -

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.

11/19 185.4 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.

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.
