Date – Weight in of the morning– Summary of the previous day:
12/09 154.2 Starting this round with the weekend bump, but hoping to get is back down again soon! I've been stuck in the 154.x for quite a few rounds now which is frustrating but I don't think much will change until January with constant dinners planned over the next two weeks. On another note, I went to the gym yesterday for an elliptical and bike workout, still no problems with my hip, I'm pleased I can at least do that and I worked up a good sweat. Today is rest day and will go again tomorrow.
12/10 152.6 (-1.6) A good quick post weekend drop! I had some chocolate yesterday but skipped dinner to compensate, ok not the healthiest of options but the chocolate was good
Last night I found a killer workout on youtube and today I'm hurting all over, it was sort of kickboxing, really fun! I'll have to do it again!
12/11 153.6 (+1.0) Up again... yesterday there was a business lunch and nibbled at some specialties, and also didn't have time to exercise so that was a miss. I've been looking back at my eating patterns and my lunches are where I've been adding up calories this last month so I need to go back to my previous lunch eating plans. I don't know about you but I'm finding the dark days and cold weather draining, it's hard not to compensate with comfort food

Good morning! I have to say I am stoked to update my weight loss this morning! I am at the lowest I can recall this year! I plan to do my 5x5 and LIC today. Please note that I am utilizing ADF and CRF, I know that refeeding days can make my weight increase. I was not expecting this rapid of a weight loss. I may plan for a refeeding day on Monday! Doing the happy dance while I work today!
@charzy501 Welcome to MFP and this group! I have been away for almost 3 years and my peeps here are still wonderful and supportive!

Back for Round 98
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.

R97: SW 145.0 GW 144.0 EW 143.8 Results - 1.2
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.
R98 Challenges: Continue to increase the amount of plant based hydration in my diet. Get back to workout schedule. This is the week of our big monthly briefing at work - try not to let it derail me. Start planning for family Christmas.

12/11 - 155.2 - Okay, not bad for traveling! Back to where I was before BF left. In the truck all day Sunday, unpacking Monday, and car all day yesterday. I'm extremely dehydrated (its a 12 hour drive, I didn't want to stop too awful much by overhydrating) but I did end up sweating in my sleep quite a bit last night that just overcame me. Big water bottle came with me to work today to remedy it. I'm now officially on my own in Kansas. BF text me on my drive in that I need to hurry up and move down because he's meeting all these amazing people and wants me down there to partake in the fun. Guess its going to be a lot more job applications. I do get to call a recruiter today, though, so hopefully he can help a lot more than I can do on my own. Hoping within 6 months I'll be headed down there. Money-wise I'm hoping my bonus and tax return will assist with said move, otherwise I'm going to be in big trouble. But we will figure it out, as always. That's what budgets are for, right?

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.

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. 165.8 lbs
12/09 - 165.6
12/10 -165.4 lbs, I am surprised at the loss considering, I was good all day but my stomach was not well, and I gave into a trail mix about 9pm. On the upside, my stomach did start feeling better and I could go to bed. Before I stepped on the scale this morning, I was thinking of giving up for this month. So I will keep at it. It's just to much going on this month and I know, I am constantly going to be disappointed.
12/11 - 163.6 lbs. Made to my goal, just have to maintain. This is a nice surprise. I went shopping with a friend but we both are trying to keep the pounds down so we opted to not go out after shopping but to her place. Only had one light beer and supper was popcorn because I can't drink on an empty stomach. By the time I got home, it was late, no time for snacking just bed. Perfect.

12/09 133.8. ate too many calories after doing so well on Saturday.
12/10 133.6 I'll take it, but will need to be careful today. I sense some self sabotage coming on...
12/11 133.2 I ate the cookie and a small piece of black forest cake, but I also exercised and was careful the rest of the day. This evening I'll be cooking so that's good because I won't feel like eating cookies 😃11 -

New Day - New Start
Hi, my name is Deb. I'm 57 years old and 5'5" tall. I've fought my weight my entire life. After 35+ years "dieting", I still have not figured out what works for me but I have to keep trying. So...
I know its two weeks before Christmas which is always at least a 5 lb gain for me, but if I don't start again right now, it will end up a 10-20 lb gain.
12/9 - 180.4 - I haven't been tracking (actually writing down) what I eat. I'm going to start that today. I haven't been exercising. I'm going to start that today. I am in the habit of posting on MFP here in this challenge (yay me) and will continue by posting my calories, exercise and moods. I love coming here and reading about and sharing in everyone's journey.
12/10 - 177.0 - Good Start. Calories: 1126. Exercise: 20 minutes on the treadmill.
12/11 - 175.0 - Another good day. Calories: 1193. Exercise: 30 minutes on the treadmill16 -

12/09 266.8 I was very hungry yesterday and even got a little lightheaded. I ended up going out for a high calorie dinner, but I felt much better afterwards. I think I didn’t eat enough on a couple of my high activity days.
12/10 265.4 And back down. I had another hungry day, not as bad as the day before though. I protein packed my dinner but stayed in calorie goal.
12/11 264.6 I upped my calorie goal to losing only a pound a week to help get a grip on this hungry stretch. I didn’t end up eating that high, but I wasn’t as low as normal either. On the plus the extra 200 or so calories that I ate throughout the day did help.

Two parties yesterday. I did the best I could under the circumstances, but did eat too much. Lots of salt, and not enough water, so some of this is definitely water - I can feel it. Oh well. I’ve decided to just eat as healthfully as possible between holiday shindigs, do the best I can at said shindigs, and try not to gain. ‘It’s the season!
12/10 - 172.6
Lunch out with a friend yesterday, but I behaved. Off to the gym!

Whaaaa??? Must be the Sunday parties, cuz I’ve been on track since then. Lots of veggies today!

After a weekend of traveling and visiting family and friends, not surprised the scale has jumped a bit. Time to get back to the grind.

I'm up five pounds in two weeks. I'm convinced some of it is water weight...there's no way my tracking is off so much that I've gained five pounds of actual weight...

12/9 160.3 Same as yesterday. I'm so glad that the water is gone. I have to stop worrying about being out of the obesity range. I think it's messing with my brain. Stick to the plan, stop thinking about artificial designations. A real goal is that I'm .06 away from having lost 25% of my starting weight. Sure it's taken more than a year and a half but since starting this challenge I've lost an average of .53 pounds per week and .78 pounds per Round. Remind me when I'm whining about water retention.
12/10 160.8 A little bump, due to our old friend NaCl. The jerk! I didn't exercise yesterday but I will either walk or do weights at the gym depending on the weather. Probably gym, I'm not desperate enough to go out in 20-degree weather yet. I lost my glasses forcing me to wear my old glasses. UGH!
12/11 160.4 Despite yesterday's lunch disaster I ended up with good numbers overall. Small salad for dinner solves a lot of lunchtime crimes. I went to a new location for the gym last night. They have different machines and new versions of old ones. My arms and legs are very sore today. It's supposed to be sunny this afternoon so I will try to get in at least 3 miles. I start vacation on Friday, only two more days!!!12 -

(in maintenance mode for the remainder of December)
Day/Weight/Comment
12/09: 284.9 lbs (+1.3) … been bouncing around lately around the same weight for a couple weeks now. I’ve been pretty frustrated with my lack of progress during that time… but stepping back a bit, that feels ridiculous. I’m very happy with what I’ve accomplished so far this year, and I don’t like the idea that I’m stressing out over my rate of loss as much as I am.
I’ve decided that I’m going to allow myself to eat up to maintenance for the remainder of December. I’ve pushed myself hard for 11 months now and have seen some pretty great results from it, but I wouldn’t mind a little bit of a rest. Not going to push myself to eat at a certain number of calories, I’ll just eat more if I feel I need to, as long as I keep myself at or below maintenance.
Then I’ll start again with my regular deficit on the first, just like I did this year.
12/10: 285.3 (+0.4) … up a little bit. Not concerned. Hopefully while eating at maintenance I can at least stay under 286.6 lbs (the -100 mark for me).
12/11: 285.3 (+0.1) … nearly no change. Very happy about that after having a fairly indulgent day. Work holiday party was last night.

OK, so I'm going to give this a try since working alone has not been successful.
My Story:SpoilerSo here's the scoop on me. I never struggled with my weight when I was younger because I was active and had a great metabolism. Many times I was underweight. In my 30s I started really focusing on fitness but then a few surgeries set me back slightly. In my early 40s I was teaching group exercise classes and increasing my strength workouts. I loved the way I looked when I was lean and defined. Then *BAM* I started to go through pre-menopause and (pardon the language) everything went to hell in a handbasket. From age 42-48 (now) I have gained 25 pounds and loss significant muscle weight. At age 47 I officially went into menopause and with the help of bioavailable hormone replacement, that part of my life is back on track. Just not the weight.
Motivation. My motivation is my husband. We've only been together for 4 years and I'm not happy with how my body has changed for the worse. I want to be fit and happy again. I'm not looking for a miracle, just the mindset to get it done and not have to deal with weight issues again.
Goals. Long term goal is to get back down to a healthy weight but be lean again. I'm not so much concerned with the number on the scale as long as I am lean. Would I like to lose the 25 pounds I've gained over the past 5 years...you bet! But I want to look good, not just focus on the number on the scale.
No longer can I use hormone imbalance as an excuse. I am medically within normal limits for my age and menopause status. Time to just get real, cut back on the alcohol, and get to the gym whether I want to or not.

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.
12/9-171- Salty dinner out.
12/10-169-Hopefully a walk today, the rain is finally gone.
12/11-167-Got 1/2 of walk done and then went and shoveled mud for hours making trenches. Grueling but worth it; I’m sore.
I’m glad you are all here!!😊☕️15 -

My story: I am a military wife and mother to 6 children, with my youngest being 2.5 year old twins. I have struggled with weight my entire life. I got so close to my ideal weight after my 3rd child and again after my 4th, but I always put on way too much during my pregnancies (binge eater), and I have not been able to get myself together after the twins. I have recently hired a personal trainer and started counting macros to hopefully retain/build muscle while continuing to burn fat. It is hard for me to eat as much as she wants me to eat, because I just can't seem to trust the process...but I am trying. I am going to limit myself to weighing in weekly, because I know how slow this will go. Here for accountability, and hopefully more like-minded friends to check in with. Please add me!!!
Day:
12/09: Stayed under my calorie goal of 1400. Did 15 minutes of full body circuit training, 7 minutes on rower, and 20 minute walk.
12/10: Walked for 45 minutes (about 3 miles), and stayed under my calorie goal.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09 -205.9 Yesterday I was able to keep my evening snacking under control. I'm going to try to go out for a run tonight before it gets dark outside.
12/10 -206.5 I got home late yesterday after work, so it was too dark to run outside. I may have to bite the bullet and go to gym and run on the treadmill after work today. I did not get enough water today, working on that today.
12/11 -206.5 Yesterday at work there was a Christmas lunch and cookie exchange, and, assuming everything goes as usual, I expect a bump on the scale in another day or two. However, I am proud that I didn't go totally overboard and only ate those things that I really wanted to eat and enjoyed. Strength coach tonight.

Height: 5'4"
Age: 45
Starting weight a very long time ago: 150 lbs
Current weight: 134.2 lbs
Ultimate goal weight: 130 lbs (I will reassess once I get there)
Goal this round: To get under 134 lbs. Honestly, this close to the holidays, I'd be happy to not gain.
I'm a pickleball addict and have been plagued with shoulder/chest/elbow/wrist injuries for about a year. My new plan is to incorporate strength training.
Day/Weight/Comment:
12/09 - 134.2 - the weight is going to come off slowly partly because that's my MO and also because I'll be strength training and hopefully adding muscle. Took my measurements last week and will compare those in a month or two. Feeling motivated and on task!
12/10 - 134.2 again - works for me. I kicked yesterday's *kitten*. 2 hours of pickleball and 30 minutes of strength training (chest and triceps). And ate on point, ended the day with a protein smoothie for dinner. Was pretty exhausted by the end of the day and thought I'd be crazy sore this morning but I'm only a little sore, not too bad at all. Today is a rest day, will do it all again tomorrow. Planning homemade vegetarian chili for dinner tonight. I find it harder to eat right on rest days - partly because I'm not busy working out so I get bored and hungry and partly because I don't have the extra calories available from exercising.
12/11 - 135.2 - hmmph. I’m sure I’m holding onto water as my muscles repair because I am sore from the weight lifting Monday. That has to be it because my calories were under goal yesterday. I may have also had a tad too much salt in the chili last night. Not to worry, still on the right path.
