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!

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

STG: 110 (next milestone)
Goals for 10 Day Challenge: 112
Day/Weight/Comment
EW round 95: 114.4, BF% 27.3
11/19 113.6, BF% 27.1 Starting to recover from the weekend bump! Good strength workout + cardio today, but sore from squats and bench press so hopefully DOMS doesn’t drive the numbers up!. Calories/macros on target. NSV - made chicken Banh Mi sandwiches for dinner with pickled vegetables. Nice to be able to enjoy Trader Joe’s ciabatta rolls on the strength days with extra calories!
11/20 112.6, BF% 26.9 Yeah!!!! Back to low from last round! Hopefully can hang out here around the rest of the challenge. Lighter cardio after work today.
11/21 112.0, BF% 26.7 New low! (and goal for 10 day challenge - plenty of time with weekend though to mess up lol!) Strength day and cardio + higher calorie day (penne with duck sausage & smoked mozzarella for dinner]
11/22 111.4, BF% 26.5
11/23 111.2, BF% 26.4
11/24 112.0, 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!

20/11: 150.4: Goals 🎉
21/11: 150.6: Goals 🌻 normal fluctuations
22/11: 150.5: Goals 🌻 Resting lol!
23/11: 150.6: Goals 🌻 Just hanging for the weekend 😂
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.

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.

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

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

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. 💪😎

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.
