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.
11/28 121.0
***********
11/29 122.5 I know this is temporary. We went to Golden Corral, I had turkey, 2 Brussels sprouts, and salad. I made a cheesecake but turned my regular recipe keto. DH pronounced it delish, I didn’t even want dessert. Pretty sure I have his cold. I was under on calories and macros but last night I was craving pickles so had some Vlasic zesty dills.
11/30 121.0 I have Carl’s cold and hardly ate anything yesterday.

Original High Starting Weight 178 (March 2019)
SW this round 165.0
GW this round 164. 4 Maintain this round from last round since it is a holiday, and lots of family home.
UGW 135
Goals 1. Walk two miles or at least hit 10,000 steps everyday
2. Due a toning workout for 20 minutes 5X a week
3. Count calories, less pasta, bread
Ending weight from last round. 164.4 lbs
11/29 165.0 lbs (1470 calories, 8794 steps,) I didn't splurge to bad but it was Thanksgiving. Kids and their families home all weekend. Lots of food around and I will be making. Plan on enjoying a little. (+ .6lbs)
11/30 165.8 lbs (1537 calories in, 10989 steps) here it comes. So no exercise with family here and to much food. But enjoying cooking and hosting and that is why I diet in between so one can enjoy life in the now. I will get back to it on Monday. (+. 1.4 lbs so far)
12/1 166.6 lbs. (2000 calories in, 14000 steps) no exercise and more cooking (+2 lbs)
12/2 168.0 lbs (2378 calories in, 14,221 steps) family finally left late afternoon and they were good at finishing most goodies up or taking them with but I did splurge yesterday on calories. Did try cross country sking after our blizzard but it had freezing rain first and so the conditions are slippery only made it a mile. (+ 3.6 lbs)
12/3 165.8 (1195 calories in, 16,963 steps) took my back out just getting out of bed yesterday. So slow going and no sking but did get my steps in by taking down fall decorations and putting up Winter decorations. (+1.4 lbs)
12/4 165.8 (1032 calories in, 15,315 steps) accomplished all goals. Still hoping to get back to ending weight of round 96. (still +1.4 lbs)
12/5 165.8 (1474 calories in, 18,489 steps) I went to visit a friend and we did go cross country sking for 2.5 miles, beautiful day but then we socialize a little, so a few beers and I have found my stomach gets super sick now that I am dieting if I don't eat something while I drink so I am surprised I did not gain. But I have only three days to get back to what I was at the end of the last round and I don't think that is going to happen, Friday and Saturday is more time with friends socializing. Though I would love to lose weight, my main goal is to not gain anymore.
12/6 166 lbs (854 calories in, 13,359 steps) Disappointed in the gain, but I went with my husband to help inventory at his work and it was a lot of sitting or just standing counting, so that must of affected it. Plus getting home later, I was eating later. (+1.6 lbs)
12/7. 165.2 lbs. (over 2000 calories, went out with friends, 12,000 steps) thought for sure I would of gained. More Christmas activity today with friends. Hoping for the best. (+.8lbs)6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 …..185.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/29 …..183.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats (after lots of online shopping & sitting at computer): 1094 Calories In / 2280 Calories out. 35 Net Carbs. 11,881 Total Steps & 5.03 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 31 minutes. I walked for 22 minutes burning 120 cals & I danced for 14 minutes burning 80 cals. Sample song – “Smokin’ in the boys room” by Motley Crue. Total extra calorie burn 200. Good luck everyone this round!
11/30 …..182.4 ….. I am determined that Thanksgiving (today for me) will not be the start of the downhill spiral that starts this time every year and ends after Easter in April. This year will be different, and all bumps & fluctuations will be very very temporary. Yesterdays stats: 1273 Calories In / 2717 Calories Out. 34 Net Carbs. 12,467 Total Steps & 5.28 Total Miles. 12/13 fitbit step hours. Charged fitbit overnight so I’m not sure about sleep but it feels a bit better, like over 5 hours. My deliberate exercise yesterday was just one short 15 minute walk at 2.5 mph burning 67 Calories.
12/01 …..187.4 ….. 5 pound gain really? Very very small Thanksgiving day dinner plate (under 750 cals). No feast for me! However, I did have tiny samplings of several desserts which was a whole paper plate full of bites! But 5 pounds? Yikes. Okay, I will have to accept what happens when I eat carbs, or even LOOK AT THEM. My work is cut out for me but I’m up for the task! I did a quick log of 2350 calories on MFP which was guessing a bit high I think. 2521 Calories out. I am sure that I had less calories in than out. CICO does not work for me! I have no idea on the carbs. 10,028 Total Steps & 4.24 Total Miles. I slept 6 hours & 1 minute. Sugar crash! I managed a 62 minute walk yesterday at 2.0 mph burning 220 calories. Moving on past this and back on to greener pastures!
12/02 …..183.2 ….. Finally TMI which really helped get the weight back down closer to the end of November weight. School finally reopened after the holiday so today will be a good walk day. My calorie burn has been pretty low the past 4 days. Yesterday’s stats: 1261 Calories In / 2567 Calories Out. 21 Net Carbs. 14,230 Total Steps & 6.07 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 35 minutes. I walked for 25 minutes at about 2.5 mph burning 114 and I rigorously cleaned a tourist cabin for 27 minutes burning 129. Extra planned calorie burn 243. I am happy that I made it through the Thanksgiving Holiday without too much damage. Losing a few pounds and wanting to hang onto that really helped me make better choices (on portion sizes) than it probably would have been otherwise.
12/03 …..183.6 ….. I know I did everything right yesterday so this must be a normal fluctuation. All part of the normal ups & downs proving that repeated theory that weight loss is not linear. No worries. I was back to major walking yesterday after the school reopened following the holiday closure. A bit slippery to drive there, but I made it! Yesterday’s stats: 1173 Calories In / 2654 Calories Out. 29 Net Carbs. 20,703 Total Steps & 8.76 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 3 hours & 46 minutes. Might that explain the gain? I don’t know. Anyhow, I walked 143 minutes at 3.0 mph burning an extra 806 calories and I danced for 16 minutes burning an extra 94 calories. Sample song – “Fat Bottom Girls” by Queen. Total extra calorie burn 900.
12/04 …..182.6 ….. Down 1 lb today and feeling pretty good about that. A long travel & shopping day tomorrow so here comes the beginning of the Christmas Holiday challenges. My plan, everything that goes up will be knocked right back down asap. Yesterday was another good on-track day. 1104 Calories In / 2853 Calories Out. 31 Net Carbs of healthy veggies. 20,018 Total Steps & 8.47 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 8 minutes. I walked for 24 minutes at home at a little over 3.0 mph burning 141 Calories. I walked the school halls in the evening for 118 minutes at 3.5 mph burning 691 Calories. Extra planned calorie burn 832. We can do this, my friends!
12/05 …..184.6 ….. Dinner at a friends house. Sloppy Joes & baked beans and a handful of candy corn. This is what happens when I keep the bun on. Today is travel Day. Christmas Shopping in the city. A very long car ride there and back but I expect lots of walking. Morning until night. Restaurants inevitable but I will try to keep it to one meal out. Yesterdays stats: 2380 Calories In / 3033 Calories Out. Between 100 & 200 net Carbs. 21,451 Total Steps & 9.08 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 58 minutes. I tried to create extra calorie burn after the early dinner. I walked 122 minutes at the school at 3.0 mph burning 705 Cals & I danced for 30 minutes burning 177. {b] Sample song – “Hold on we’re going home” by Drake (feat. Majid Jordan} Total extra calorie burn 882.
12/06 …..186.6 ….. After travel weigh-in.
12/07 …..187.4 ….. I went to bed at 6:00 am this morning and woke up at 8:00 am. 2 hours is not enough but I am behind in paperwork after the travel. I also spent all night organizing the gifts from my major shopping spree. It looks like a war zone here, and I have to leave today and go to a nearby city for DGS # 4 birthday party. He’s turning 2. Food & exercise has been out of control because I’ve been away every day. I hope tomorrow I can get some more work done & be more mindful of my diet (I must plan ahead!) Monday I will be back walking at the school when it reopens. This morning I’ve caught up on all the posts. I’m seeing a lot of wonderful progress!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29--207.9 No surprise after Thanksgiving. I hardly drank any water yesterday. Yesterday I went out and did the 5k Turkey Trot, and then took dog out for a long walk. The weather was perfect. I am making sure to get my water in today, and I am thinking of going to the gym later today, but still not sure if I should just rest instead.
11/30--207.2 I went to the gym yesterday evening even though I so didn't want to. This morning I went out and finished w6d1 of c25k and then took dog out for a long trail walk. I'm going to do a few errands this afternoon, and then relax for the rest of the evening.
12/01--207.6 Definitely an up and down on the scale these last few days even though I'm eating within my calories, so I'm concentrating more on my successes with my running and my working out. Today I met with up with my strength coach.
12/02--208.5 Ugh!
12/03--207.0 Thankfully the water weight is going.
12/04--206.5 Hip was sore yesterday, so I did not go out for a run. Strength coach today.
12/05--206.3 I've upped my water consumption, which is great, but it sucks having to go to the bathroom all the time. Run tonight.
12/06--206.7 No run last night, knee was sore. Gym today.
12/07--206.3 Great workout yesterday. Going for run today.

12/03 186.2 Went on a 4 day binge! Ugh! Business trips are killer for me. My goal for this round is to get back down (or as close to) my ending weight last round. I'm hoping that it's mostly water and it'll come off pretty quickly. Still on track for my end of year goal weight of 180! 179 would be nice lol.
12/04 185.2 Phew! Glad to see it coming back down!
12/05 185.2 TOM so I'm hoping to see more of a drop in a couple of days! I started smoking again in October after quitting for around 6 years sooo yesterday was day 1 to quit again. Actually wasn't bad at all!
12/06 185.1 So done with 185 lol. I was bouncing around 185 for so long last round too! Can't wait to get back into the 170s
I wouldn't mind a big drop before the end of the round lol
12/07 183.5 Yessss! Now to hold steady for the end of the round

11/29 – 269.8 I had a great day yesterday, I stayed on track and under calories, but still enjoyed everything I wanted. It didn’t hurt that we had our meal a little early so I was able to skip lunch and have a little more of a couple things. Now today will be another story because we’re putting up our tree and ordering in pizza. I’ll probably see a temporary bounce, but I’m trying to plan to minimize the potential damage.
11/30 – 271.6 We had pizza and dessert, so I was expecting a bounce up today. I was still a little under maintenance so I know that the bounce will be only be temporary.
12/01 – 271.4
12/02 – 268.8 Back down plus some so I’m pretty happy with this. I was sick yesterday and took it very easy because the sick came with a fever. I’ll see what I think I’m up for today, but with MS I’m always afraid to push too hard when I’m sick, especially when it involves a fever. Either way I am not going to use being under the weather as an excuse to overeat.
12/03 – 268.0 I wanted to wait and be sure that I was at some new lows before saying this…. I’ve lost over half the weight I want to lose!! I have less to lose in front of me than I’ve already lost and that just feels awesome. I know that at some point the losses will slow, but I am prepared for that to happen. I am feeling better this morning and I’m going to try not to overdo things, but I feel like moving!
12/04 – 267.0 Having to take it easy for a couple of days was just no fun and drove me nuts, so I’m happy to up and moving again. It’s the week for nsvs because I have a new one today. A few months ago I got a bunch of clothes and one of the shirts I got didn’t fit despite supposedly being the same size as the others. Well after 30 pounds from when I bought it, it finally fits! I’ve been trying it on every ten pounds and it was always a little too tight in the arms and chest. On top of that I had to get a belt for the pants I bought at that same time because they’re a little loose and keep sliding down. It might be time for new pants again.
12/05 – 266.4 I had a bit of a rough day yesterday with craving one of my previously favorite junk foods. I stayed on track though and didn’t give in despite really wanting to. I think I’ll see about finding a few activities to do that will occupy my mind, so I’m not tempted to eat from boredom.
12/06 – 267.0 Not sure what caused the bump, maybe sodium, maybe hormones, maybe scale issues. *shrug* It’s all good and I’ll drop again. I did better with just wanting to eat so it made the day a lot easier.
12/07 – 265.4 And back down plus some. The bump up must have been water retention from one thing or another. I had an awkward day yesterday and just could not seem to get my usual walk in at all. I finally got it in, but I think I need to figure out a workable weekend schedule. On the plus side though I picked up some sweatpants, I got them in a men’s XL, and they fit! I was certain I had picked too small a size, but nope, I might even be able to tightly fit into a L, but I like to be comfy and not feel like a stuffed sausage.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 111.8, BF% 26.7% The Thanksgiving bump is on par with weekend bumps (higher calories + wine) and complete rest day yesterday so in reality not too bad!!!. This is at the start of a long weekend, so it may go up more before coming down, but sharing wonderfood with family makes it all worth while! Did have strength workout with trainer today as well as spin class, so getting back on track!
11/30 111.2, BF% 26.4 Yes! Back to low of last round. Good workout in spin class this morning. (realized I had a typo in weight yesterday so corrected it!)
12/01 111.4, BF 26.5% up a little, but within normal range of variability at this point. Did weight training workout this morning and went out for lunch with family (tacos!) and to see Frozen II. Did not have time to get to spin class in the evening, so used the elliptical at home for cardio. Used up leftover pumpkin puree to make a curried pumpkin soup with shrimp! NSV: went shopping to get a new winter coat as old large coat is too big! The XS fit though the waist and the hips, but was snug through the chest (fortunately have not lost all the body fat there yet, so went with the small so that I can wear sweaters underneath! Nice to not look like the stay puff marshmallow man!
12/02 113.2, BF% 27.1 Not sure where this bump came from - DOMS, inflamation, food retention, sodium, lack of sleep? Delayed outcome from last Thursday??? Oh well… Food/exercise are on track (better than most Mondays) so hoping it comes off as fast as it appeared! Busy day at work, so will hit the gym later - either spin class or pilates
12/03 111.1 Yeah back down and new low! Had weight training session with trainer this morning before flying to NYC for a meeting. Booked a session at the Peloton studio for a 45 min class. Ended up 12th on the leaderboard (based on total output) which was probably pretty good (they should be using power to weight ratio imho). Walked the 23 blocks back to hotel and ate there as did not feel like going back out ! great day for food and exercise!
12/04 DNW Out of Town over on calories time will tell...
12/05 DNW Out of Town Back home and made it to spin class tonight and then dinner out with family. Under calories for the day, so will see impact of trip/eating out has on weight tomorrow am. Likely up, but usually drops fast after trips as increase is often due to excess sodium. NSV went shopping at one of my favorite stores and have dropped another size for tops! Back to my old size at my best weight!
12/06 109.8, BF% 26.0 (busy with work did not post) **New low**
12/07 110.0, BF% 26.1 Made short term goal!!!! Unexpected with travel earlier in the week and eating out but happy to see this! Trying to decide whether to maintain here and focus on body recomp to reduce BF (belly area and some in thighs, although know can’t just spot reduce) or continue reducing until 105. Although with the holidays, will be thrilled just to maintain here! Off to spin class before dinner for cardio...

Round 97 - – November 29 – Dec. 8
Female, 5’, 66 years. 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.)
Goals – finish calorie log each day, 30 min. of movement every day (thanks, that idea from @twistedsassette), gym 2-3 times a week, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m.
Last few rounds I’ve been ever so gradually creeping up. Going to the gym seems to have headed me back in the right direction. How could I forget that movement seems to be my key to loss? Have also refused to buy any “treat” items lately.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/29 – 164.4
11/30 – 164 – Gym yesterday and pretty good with food. Today a long practice for concert next week. My singing buddy is back from holidays, and the director did some rearranging, so hopefully it is smooth sailing. Also have to groc. shop after 🙄 but at least have supper prepped.
12/1 - 164
12/2 – 163.8 Made it through my nasty weekend with not too bad eating and actually things went pretty smoothly. Gym this morning – hard to get myself there but feels so good afterward.
12/3 – 164.4 – LNS on chocolate last night – not too much but enough to make me feel draggy today and cause the blip up on the scale. I had my gall bladder out years ago but still get some reaction if I’ve had too much fat in the evening. Busy tomorrow but today is free so going to tidy things up which is always good for the mood.
12/4 – 164.2 – Big concert today but feeling ready for it - and definitely ready for it to be all over. I don’t get stage fright but not a lover of performing either. No gym today as I’m too occupied with other stuff but will try to get some intentional movement in.
12/5 – 164.8
12/6 – 164.6
12/7 – 166 – Concert went ok but still crashed afterward and then next day Christmas baking and yesterday a potluck. I was careful to take small portions at the potluck and limit sampling on the baking – but overall still a lot of extra fat and sugar. That’s it for holiday events except for next Sat. (low key concert in a different venue).

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. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh!

Back for Round 97
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
R96: SW 145.3 GW 144.0 EW 145.0 Results - 0.3
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.
R97 Challenges: Getting back on track after Thanksgiving. I'll be starting December off with a Hydration Challenge to increase the amount of plant based hydration in my diet.
R97 SW: 145.0
R97 GW: 144.0
11/29 (F) 145.3 (Trend Weight 145.9) Not too bad a bump for Thanksgiving. Seems the increased activity (even with skipping the strength workouts) and my lightened up dinner menu was effective. Forced myself to have a light breakfast, and nibbled on raw veggies for lunch while prepping dinner. Are moderately, but it was still pretty carb and sodium heavy. Didn't get as much water as I should have. May see another bump tomorrow from the leftovers, but I did get both a strength workout and some aerobics in today.
11/30 (S) 145.6 (Trend Weight 145.9) Leftovers. Pretty much figured that. Glad it wasn't any worse. There's still a few left in the fridge, but I'm done with the heated up plates and turkey sandwiches. I can work what's left into lighter meals. Today is a strength workout rest day, but I'll shoot for getting my steps in a a short round of aerobics.
12/01 (S) 145.5 (Trend Weight 145.8) Ok. 1\10. I'll take it. Yesterday was on the high side of my calorie range and sodium was up a tad, but I was pretty close to the eating plan. I did get in a 20 minute aerobic session. It was late evening and I had to force it, but I got it in. Trend weight pulled down another 10th - so confident I'm past the holiday bump.
12/02 (M) 145.0 (Trend Weight 145.7) Yes! Mindful of my eating yesterday. Did not feel too well, so slugged my steps and workout. Today is day one of the Quench 5-Day Plan. Not as much of a diet as it is a way to increase more efficient plant-based hydration.
Morning smoothie was only 97 calories, and not particularly filling - so probably not a sustainable breakfast substitution. The plan makes using that morning smoothie as breakfast optional. I'll either need to make it more substantial, or make sure breakfast is light to stay within calorie range.
12/03 (T) 144.8 (Trend Weight 145.6) This is looking promising. I wasn't 100% on plan. Hubby wanted "Hamburger Glop" for dinner, which uses cream of mushroom soup and goes over biscuits or noodles. Pretty high starchy carb and high sodium. Being on plan for most of the day let me work that in and still stay within my set range.
Today is Day 2 of the Quench Plan. So far so good - and as you see, it kept me in range for the unexpected change in dinner menu. I'm going to try to bulk up my morning smoothie and see if that helps the mid-morning "I'm freaking hungry!"
12/04 (W) 145.2 (Trend Weight 145.6) Combination of a late night snack and normal fluctuation. Maybe stress. Had a crisis with one of my nonprofit organization's participants yesterday. Still going to be working through it today. Had skipped a couple of workouts, but got back on track with a 30 minute aerobic session. Felt good.
Day 3 of the Quench Plan. Haven't started moving yet today, but intentions are good 😊 Yesterday was good. I added a handful of oats to the smoothie and it made a huge difference. I'm not following 100% Lots of new things, imagine it will be a process like any other health habit.
12/05 (T) 143.7 (Trend Weight 145.4) Hmmm. I'd say this is part fluctuation, part weird day. I missed breakfast and dinner altogether, had 2 sweet potato stacks for lunch, and a bowl of Raisin Bran before bed. Totally blew off Day 3 of Quench. So much for good intentions, eh? 😜
Day 4 of plan has started well. Already had my lemon water, and getting ready to make my morning smoothie. I don't have dinner planned yet, so need to rummage around and take something out of freezer to thaw.
Today is a difficult day as we celebrate my late son's birthday. Family and friends will be drifting in and out. Maybe a big pot of vegetable soup!
12/06 (F) 144.8 (Trend Weight 145.3) Yesterday's whoosh was from not eating on Wednesday. Totally on point yesterday, so the bounce is just leveling out. This is where daily weigh-ins can be a head game and watching the trend weight helps. Scale weight is up, but trend is down. So it validates my observations, keeping emotion (fear and confidence) out of the picture.
Day 5 of the 5 Day Quench Plan and the last day. I love having the lemon water first thing. Yes! Before coffee! I've got the morning smoothies figured out to add to a light breakfast or replace breakfast. The "afternoon delight" is just water with chia seeds and a couple of tablespoons of juice. It's fine - a good way to get more chia seeds and water. The tiny amount of juice doesn't add much to sugar and calorie intake and makes the water more enjoyable - almost a treat.
I haven't changed my way of eating. Still fruit with breakfast, salad or handful of baby spinach thrown into whatever I'm having for lunch, and a healthy dinner. My water intake is up 8-16 oz a day and is more consistent.
I'm down 0.3 pounds for the 5 days, which is on average for me. The big change I see is the reduction of coffee. I had dropped from 4-6 cups to 2-3 when starting MFP again. Not to reduce caffeine, but because I use a sweetened creamer. The lemon water in the morning has me down to 1-2 cups, shaving more calories out of the day.
Now. The reason I did this is because it was touted to be a form of more efficient hydration. That's hard to gauge. I don't "feel" any different. Observationally, a dry scaly itchy patch on my shoulder is gone, the scaly elbows are healing, and my legs are not flaking as bad. The dark circles under my eyes are a bit lighter and less puffy. Correlation or causation? I have no clue. But increasing water intake, adding seeds, and ensuring I'm adding plant based nutrients & water to my WOE certainly isn't hurting, and requires no additional planning or tracking than I'm already doing. No one can argue that it's not a healthy change, so why not? I think this is something I will keep doing 😊
12/07 (S) 143.3 (Trend Weight 145.1) What? Whoosh? Another anomaly? Calories are in line. WOE unchanged. I've been off on workouts all week. Trend data indicates I'm finally averaging 1/2 pound per week. Did I finally kick the metabolism in gear? Why is it I have more questions about success than plateaus and spikes? Shut up over-thinker in my head!
12/08 (S) 143.8 (Trend Weight 145.0) Nice! Yesterday was a graze day. Breakfast was late, then I could not stop. I did keep it within my calorie range and kept it healthy. I did stop at 8pm.
Seems I've hit on something. Happy to see a nice loss. I need to get back to my workouts before I sabatoge myself.

11/30 134 Im going to do this.
12/1 133.8 glad to start December in the 133s! The exercise makes a big difference in my day, so my goal for December is keep doing it! Now if I can get a handle on my anxiety, that will be the next great thing
12/2 133.8 feeling relieved that Monday is here and I can be at a regular eating schedule. I worked out yesterday. I was at a perfect calorie yesterday. I should have entered everything before I decided to have dessert. I knew it would put me over and yet, I still ate dessert, so of course went over. Anybody have suggestions on how to avoid this type of self-sabotage? I could literally never enter calories and know exactly if I'm within or not. So that awareness is acutely there. Now I need to learn how to stop!
12/3 134
12/4 134.2 explained by sugar. So today I start my no sugar for the rest of this round
12/5 133.6 cautiously optimistic since I get excited and sabotage myself when I see the scale move. Let's try moving forward this time! I will have to be careful at lunch and dinner today which are social so not sure this will be possible. We have a dinner out tomorrow and a party on Sat. This is going to be a challenge.
12/6 134 one word: holiday cookies. I thought I wouldn't regret, but I do.
12/7 134.2 urgh. I'm going to be really mad if I end this round higher than when I started. Dinner out last night but the good thing is I literally ate half of what was on my plate, 1/4 vegan cupcake to try (delish) and I had a bite of cookie earlier in the day, decided to spit it out because it wasn't worth it!! Today I will be mindful.
12/8 133.2 oh phew. I was so careful yesterday. Didn't eat any cheese because it just didn't look good. And I worked out, so yay.8 -
I have set myself a new goal for 2019 and a new UGW.
Things are looking good for my revised 2019 goal. I have hit it thrice this Round. Happy Scale has shown a steady downward trend since the end of July, despite having one or two lapses last round.

04/12: 149.6: Goals 🎉 I'm happy to be staying steady at the minute. Christmas lunch today with my Garden Group, not so hopeful for tomorrow 😉
05/12: 148.8: Goals Surprised at the drop. Yesterday I ate too much turkey and ham, which was delicious, but had a fresh fruit starter, and water rather than wine, then a small helping of plum pudding. I had an omelette for my dinner, which kept me under calories.
06/12: 149.2: Goals 🎉 And there's my dinner from Thurs 😂 Today I have 2 Xmas parties and a wine tasting. 🎄 Welcome to the minefield that is December 🎄
07/12: 150.4: Goals 🎉 Not entirely unexpected. Too many salty snacks at the wine tasting. However, bouncing around 150 is vastly preferable to the 170 of last December. I will have a very frugal day today!!! Managed to stay under goal!
08/12: 149.6: Goals Not too unhappy with this. Next round will be better.

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.
