Small NSV — I baked a cake and a batch of cookies yesterday for events today and later in the week, but didn’t nibble.
No snacks during the day. Small snack in the late evening. Feeling motivated! 🥗🥚🍠🧘🏻🚴🏻‍♀️

12/30/19 - 175
Well, here we are at the end of another year and another decade. Here’s to all of us making way toward our goals in 2020!

12/31/19 - 175.4
Yeah, I snacked last night. Sort of a last blast. I also made chicken pot pie 🥧 from scratch for dinner, DH request, and it was delicious and rich and I confess, I ate more than I should have! Woke up to snow ❄️ so when it stops I’ll get my workout clearing the driveway and sidewalks. No partying tonight but I am planning to go to a women’s labyrinth walk and gathering, which should be a lovely way to see the old decade on its way. If you’re going out, be safe, have fun! 🎉

01/01/20 - 176
Time lag bounce there, I think. I did have the chicken pot pie leftovers last night, but ate close to calorie goal.
I expect a sodium bump tomorrow — DH wants to go out for Chinese. We had planned to do that Christmas Eve but I was sick. So it will be absolutely my last blast for a while, and I’ll stick to stir fry. Happy New Year, all!

01/02/20 - 176.6
Sodium. Chinese, and not enough water. It’s fine. Better days to come!

01/03/20 - 176.4
Have a great weekend, all!

01/04/20 - 176
I’m still struggling with the snack monster, but did manage to keep last night’s snack relatively low cal. Step by step back to the path. I did get started on my plan to rebuild my walking time. I used to walk 5-7 miles almost every day and stopped last year when I was in terrible pain from PMR. I’ve been walking sporadically that past few months but lost my distance mojo. I’ve created a schedule to add a mile a day each week until I can comfortably do 6 a day and occasional longer jaunts. Walking is so much more than exercise — it’s meditative and spiritual for me. So that’s the plan! Have a great weekend, all.

01/04/20 - 176
I overate yesterday but I got my walk in, so I call it a draw. Will try to do better today. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 – 123.4
12/30 – 124.4 – There is the slight bump I have been expecting. I have been eating horribly, so I have honestly expected more and sooner. TOM is also on its way.
12/31 – 125.0
01/01 – 124.8 – Happy New Year! Still maintaining, but time to do a little more. I need to get back to tracking my calories and some intermittent fasting. Also planning to start jogging again with the goal of a 5k in the coming months.
01/02 – 123.0 – Did good on the calories, eating window from 9-7, but didn’t drink near enough water. I expected a slight drop but am surprised by this much. Jogged/walked 2.16 miles.
01/03 – 123.8 – Calories were good again, a little extra snacking though. Eating window was from 12-8, drank more water but still not enough.
01/04 - 122.8 - Calories good, still not enough water. I was hungry yesterday morning so my eating window was 8-8. Busy day at work and rain all day, so I didn't get any miles in.
01/05 - 122.8 - Calories good despite cake at a birthday party, need more water. 12:30-7. Got in 2.51 miles, couch to 5k w1d2.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29--Back in town after 5 days. We had a great time. I weighed myself when I got home late this afternoon, just to get some idea of how much of a bump up there is on the scale after my snacking and lack of water drinking, and I was only up 3.6lbs. I will weigh in tomorrow morning at my regular weigh-in time to get a more accurate number.
12/30--208.1 Only up 2.5lbs after being out of town, I am happy about that. Strength coach today. Goal for today is to get my water in.
12/31--207.8 Yesterday's workout with my strength coach was really hard, it's surprising how quickly my workouts can suffer when I haven't worked out for a such a short time. I'm back at work today after being off for a week, so the regular schedule today should make it easier for me to get my water in today.
01/01--208.1 Didn't fully get back to normal eating as my husband wanted to go out for dinner and some drinks last night. I went to see my strength coach today and it was another tough workout. I told my coach that for me this year is the year of flexibility, so that is what I will work on this year. Also, by working on my flexibility, it will also help me with my weightlifting.
01/02--207.4 Tonight is my 1st day of a 30 day yoga YouTube program I'm going to do, in order to work on my flexibility.
01/03--206.3 Finished day 1 yesterday of my yoga program, and while at times it was difficult, I felt so good afterwards. I did not have a great sleep last night, but luckily I am off today, but I do have some appointments today. I'm supposed to go to the gym today...we'll see.
01/04--205.9 No gym yesterday, I had a major headache from my horrible sleep the night before. I took a nap later in the evening and it definitely helped, so I was able to finish day 2 of YWA. Plan is to go out for a run today, once the rain stops, and I want to clean the house, that includes taking down the Christmas tree.
01/05--205.6 Finished w7d3 of c25k yesterday. Between travelling and bad weather, I haven't run in 10 days, so I'm very proud with myself that I actually did go out and run. Later in the evening I finished day 3 of YWA. I also just realized that all of the "gain" from my holiday trip is gone. Strength coach today and, if the weather holds, hubby and I will take the dog out for a long trail walk. Later I will do day 4 of YWA.

01/05 - 154.3 - The whoosh I was hoping for yesterday! Hopefully this keeps trending downward. Not quite sure I'll see 153.x this round as this is a big whoosh, but I'm okay if I don't. Its my own fault for not getting back on track after my 156.x reality check. Been hanging out with my neighbors all weekend so my eating hasn't been fully under control. I need to work on that. Its not horrible, but snacking and beers is doing me in. At least we made a deal that we need to get out and go for walks after work. I introduced them to Stepbet so I think we may take part of one of those in the near future. If there's money on the line, we are so much more motivated haha. I stayed up and watched the game last night so I didn't get my day 3 YWA HOME done. I'm about to do Day 3 now, take a short break, and do day 4 (today) before I even get showered or dressed to go watch the games today with my neighbor. (This was the plan yesterday, do day 2 in morning, do my 11am meeting, then do day 3. Except the meeting didn't happen and I sat around waiting since we are in different time zones. Nothing. By then I needed to get to the grocery store so I could get food for dinner and then over to neighbor's. Today I'm stocked up so the only timeline is the games. I can't watch football until I'm caught up!)

Previous Day's Comments

12/29 - The scale behaved better this morning. It actually shifted numbers when I moved so I believe this weight. Not bad for having an early dinner out with friends and a few drinks. I did wake up extremely thirsty so I drank almost a full bottle of water before I even got out of bed so I'm sure this is a bit higher than it would be had I not done that. Honestly forgot about weighing until I finally got out of bed and went into the bathroom. Quite happy to see 154.x again despite the water chugging.
12/30 - Holding steady, I'll take it. I was so hungry so I ended up having a really early dinner and then was hungry again when I went to bed. I knew I'd get a stomach ache if I ate that close to bed and it wasn't painful hunger so I let it go. Not hungry at all this morning so I'll take that as a win. Trying to fast until 11 (our lunch) and start this week with a good 19 hour fast. Also love work weeks simply because I'm THAT much better with my water intake. I get so lazy and forgetful at home. Goal is to continue water intake on Wednesday when I'm off.
12/31 - Hello again, how I've missed you! Hoping to say goodbye to 154.x and above as I say goodbye to 2019. Came in early to work so I can leave a little early for the football game and hopefully make my spinach artichoke dip for the group after. I still have to get some groceries for it so I'm not quite sure if it'll be for tonight or tomorrow. We shall see how things go. Happy New Year all!!

Edit: Boo, I realized TOM will be here any day now to help me ring in the new year. This makes me worry I'm not going to be saying goodbye to 154.x and above after all. Going to just have to work extra hard to stay on top of things in hopes I can avoid a blip (or that any loss is greater than or equal to any TOM blips I have)
01/01 - Hello, TOM. Hello water weight. This is expected, not too upset by it. We didn't really have "dinner" and instead had a bunch of finger food (chips and dip, bacon wrapped smokies, bbq smokies). My neighbor taught me how to make his family's chip dip and I loved it! Too many super-salty chips throughout the night. In hindsight I should have made sure to eat a proper dinner before starting on the snacks so I wouldn't be so hungry. Only had 2 drinks before the small glass of champagne at midnight. Hopefully this weight will be down very quickly and I'm sure I can before the end of the round. TOM bloat should be gone no later than Sunday and the salty water weight will be gone long before that as long as I can stay on track.
01/02 - Holding still. At least I can be happy that I haven't increased! Bloated like no other (I had too much dairy, lactose sensitive) I took my lactose pills which eased the discomfort from it, but didn't seem to ease the bloat itself. Going to push water today and try to watch my evening eating. Shouldn't be too hard now that the madness of New Years is over and normalcy resumed (was planning a low key event for New Years but my landlady came over and made it into a party and we are still recovering from her. All struggling financially so we don't want to waste the leftover food). Hoping, if I don't eat any more dairy, I'll lose the bloat by tomorrow and drop some water weight with it. I'm determined to get back down!
01/03 - Little bitty drop, I'll take it. I was so hungry last night -- my stomach HURT because I felt so hungry. Not sure what that was about. I ended up really thirsty, too, and almost met my water goal in a 2 hours span. Guess my body needed a bit of a flush. Still struggling with TOM issues (bloat and general sluggishness) but hoping it'll be over by tomorrow, I hate feeling like this. It seems worse than normal, but I know its because of my not-so-great choices with food, activity, and stress levels. I know I can control how my body feels but I seem to forget in the moment how that food, water, relaxation help. Leading me into: Today is Day 2 of Yoga With Adriene 30 day HOME. Excited to see where this takes me!
01/04 - Keep on swimming, keep on swimming. I'm not too sure I'll get down to 153.x before end of round if I keep dropping this slow. Maybe I'll have a whoosh soon, but I'm not holding my breath so I don't get disappointed. At least I'm dropping and trending back downward so I cannot complain. Its been a rough week with migraines, nausea, and insomnia. But I'm pulling through and determined to get back on track!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/28 …..194.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

12/29 …..190.4 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1156 Calories In / 2432 Calories Out. 12 Net Carbs. 12,362 Total Steps & 5.23 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 14 minutes. I walked at about 3.0 mph for 18 minutes burning 90 calories. It’s a start! Good luck everyone on the monumental 100th round!

12/30 …..190.4 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 998 Calories In / 2236 Calories out. 58 Net Carbs. 8497 Steps & 3.6 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept for 6 hours & 21 minutes. Getting over 5 hours of sleep per night has been a nice trend throughout the last couple of weeks.

12/31 …..191.2 ….. 1710 Calories In / 2520 Calories Out. 61 Net Carbs. 13,108 Total Steps & 5.51 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 19 minutes. I danced for 35 minutes burning 212 calories. [color-=crimson]Sample song – “Going Timber” by Pit Bull.

01/01 …..189.2 ….. Happy New Year Everyone! Posting late due to starting what will be an incredible amount of paperwork for my business. Quarterly sales tax, Annual Sales tax for 2019 and 2019 Income Taxes. Yesterday was a good day. A little low on calories and a little high on carbs due to spaghetti squash recipe I tried. 675 Calories In / 2634 Calories Out. 30 Net Carbs. 16,099 Total Steps & 6.81 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 17 minutes. I walked in the school for 114 minutes at about 3.0 mph burning 634 calories

01/02 …..188.2 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1145 Calories In / 2752 Calories Out. 60 Net Carbs due to one teeny tiny slice of frozen pizza (from son) when I missed dinner (very long phone call from far-away cousin). 17,628 Total Steps & 7.46 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 30 minutes. I walked twice yesterday. Once for 61 minutes at 2.75 mph burning 276 calories. Once for 30 minutes at 4.25 mph burning 245 calories. Total extra calorie burn 521. I need to be more serious about my water intake.

01/03 …..190.0 ….. Gain is due to a fast & furious eating frenzy after a severe drop in my blood glucose. Blind & frenzied eating which is unfortunate because I know better, but it is the “save myself” instinctive thing to do. Clearly my calories were too low the last couple of days but I was never hungry (intuitive eating?). I’ve got to try to keep my meals steady. I was sick all night. To try to regain my strength today I am going to skip my walk at the school and focus on small but steady activity at home. Over calorie and over carb yesterday. I burned an extra 670 calories walking 119 minutes at 4.25 mph before I became so sick. Taking it easy today.

01/04 …..190.0 …..

01/05 …..192.4 ….. Brought in a crew of family, friends and locals (previous guests) to help take down all the Christmas trees and decorations from my home and business. They did most of the heavy lifting and transporting to on-site storage. I spent most of the day wrapping, wrapping, wrapping all the glass pieces. I fed the Army and ate also which consisted of way too many carbs (and calories too, I’m sure!). Today is standard Sunday check-out cabin cleaning, and working on putting back all my normal décor around the house & business office/check-in station. I hope to burn some major calories and get in a good amount of steps. I’m thinking today should be an egg or beef & butter fast for a least 24 hours to kick-start my good intentions. I must stop what I’m doing from time to time and DRINK MY WATER! Thanks to @lilylady3k for this: " Don’t let unstructured time become unstructured eating. - Beck " I think that Mantra will help me today!

@koslowkj It sounds as if your bloat is related to a specific thing you are eating. Perhaps look back at your food log and find the common element.

{Day/Weight/Comment}

▪12/29 - 187.4 - 59g carbs.
▪12/30 - 187 - Took the day off from recording in my food diary. I made everything that I ate, but did not feel like putting the recipes for all of it in MFP. I just estimated 2000 calories for the day.

▪12/31 - 187.6 - IF/21hrs. 104g carbs. Meal times~ 4:30, 7pm.
▪1/01 - 191 - Full of TOO MUCH!
IF/16hrs. 87g carbs. Too many days of high calories, high carbs, high sodium the last 2 weeks. I feel hungover and I don't even drink alcohol! Purging until Sunday.
▪1/02 - 187 - 72g carbs. IF/19hrs. Gradually stepping down the carbs this month, then back to 18/6 IF (or 19 or 20😐) and basic keto, 20g total carbs. Considering one weekly 24hr fast. I always have one day during the week that I am just not hungry, so I'll take advantage of it.
▪1/03 - 187 - IF /21.5hrs. 79g carbs. Carbs were lower until I decided to eat half a small grapefruit (16.5g carbs😢) Lol. No more grapefruit. I'll let my DH enjoy them. Today will be close to my target of 20g total. UNLESS, I decide to have a cup of black eye peas (25.5g carbs? hmmm) No.
▪1/04 - 188.8 😕 - IF/19hrs. 30g carbs. I don't know except for a return to exercising.

▪1/05 - 188.8 - IF/19hrs. 34g carbs. Not a minute's sleep last night😩

Okay time to get back on track.

12/29 – 272.6 Back in the right direction.

12/30 – 270.6 The first of many drops, I hope. I do know I’ll have a bounce on the first because of New Years Eve plans. Once that’s done though I have nothing going on until my husband’s birthday in February.

12/31 – 270.0 I went out for dinner and was okay until we decided to get desert. It’s okay though I didn’t plan to be back fully on track until tomorrow anyway. I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Years!

01/01 – 269.4 I didn’t end up as far off track yesterday as I feared I would end up. I’m hopeful of staying on track now that all the holiday activities are over.

01/02 – 268.6 If the drops continue I should be close to my previous low soon. I was on track yesterday and I’ve been getting out and enjoying the nice weather we’re having. Nothing like hitting 12k steps on the first of the year. My goal for this year is to lose 50 pounds and if I hit that early I’ll set a new realistic goal for however long is left. I happily ended last year still under the halfway point to my ultimate goal weight.

01/03 – 266.8 While it’s not all the way back to my lowest weight I’m really happy to see this number. It’s about where I was bouncing around during the early part of my break. I know that even if I don’t drop quickly from here due to water loss it won’t be long before I’m hitting new lows.

01/04 – 265.0 So much water drop, so much wow.

01/05 – 266.6 Hmm not 100% sure why the bounce up. It’s okay though I know it will drop back down again.

12/29 - 174.8

12/30 - 177.6 Lots of cooking and eating with the family for a late Christmas. Entree was ham so retaining lots of water. Looking for a 1-2 lb loss tomorrow if I can stay out of the leftovers and candy still in the house.

12/31 - 176.8 Water weight is leaving but I was unsuccessful in staying out of the leftovers. I will keep trying.

1/1 - 177.2

1/2 - 178.8 I will not give up! Yesterday at home all day with leftovers from Christmas and New Year's celebration was too much.

1/3 - 177.2

1/4 - 175.0 Eating waaaay under calorie limit and bathroom trip yesterday add up to this impressive loss. I don't usually do well on the weekend but I'm feeling very motivated today. I've made a to-do list and eating junk is not on it.

1/5 - 174.2 Good day yesterday. The Christmas Tree is down and decorations put away. A lot of other household chores done. Sunny and 50 here today so hiking may be this afternoon's activity.

12/29 - 239.2 Wow this thread has exploded in the last day or two! I need to catch up! Weight fluxed up for no apparent reason, but a random pound back and forth is not unusual for me.
12/30 - 238.4 Okay at least it is headed back in the right direction. Portion control yesterday, but the weather was too nasty to consider a walk. Today looks like more of the same (thunderstorms, tornado watches), so no lunchtime walk in a suit, but at least I can take a leisurely few laps inside my office building (it has a perimeter hallway.) The rest of the Christmas cookies and fudge and candy went into the freezer last night, and some pastries and mincemeat pies are headed to the office to get them out of my hands.
12/31 - 238.8 Going sideways weight wise. Today's lunch is mostly fruits and veg, so that might help. But there is a NYE party tonight..... ugh. I just know it'll be fried things and sweet things and adult beverage things. My inner fat boy is still firmly in control -- I have to lock him up!
01/01 - 239.0 This is my last day of excuses. NYE party last night. Ate small amounts (for me) of nothing but crappy food, but did have two large cocktails. Today is a new start. Happy New Year, all!
01/02 - 238.2 Aaaand we continue our game of pinball! Back down again. Less food consumed yesterday, I just wasn't hungry. But also less activity than normal, so who knows. I will get a walk in today, somehow.
01/03 - DNW - stomach bug
01/04 - DNW - stomach bug
01/05 - 239.2 Okay, someone needs to explain to me how I can eat nothing but toast and coca cola for two days (plus some applesauce last night) and end up putting on weight???? Starting to feel human again (got to church this morning so clearly I am not an invalid) but no appetite for anything -- although I am knocking the heck out of a pot of coffee.

@xcc670 Since there are no essential carbohydrates, what is “carbohydrate balance?”

I am using an eating plan designed by Dr. Ludwig. His book is called "Always Hungry". I just noticed on this board that it is similar to Primal Blueprint Plant.

I eat a high fiber carb with each meal. That translates to either beans or fruit. I try to limit fruit to 1 serving a day. I eat any/all non-starch vegetables. The biggest change for me was getting away from the Low Fat way of eating (WOE).

For some reason that I don't understand, I am 63 years old and haven't figured out how to eat to lose weight, even though I have always been what I consider a careful/healthy eater. This WOE seems like a WOE that I can adjust to since the biggest change for me is adding fat.

Round 100

Please join us! Starting on 12/29 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 100
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

@eyesopennow Mike, right? Toast and cola (regular not diet?) That’s a lot of carbs and I know in my case, carbs make me retain water. Just a suggestion.

My 2020 goal is to continue to learn how to eat and lose wieght. My top weight was 203 pounds and I am now at 183. It has been a challenge and I don't feel I have a handle on the losing weight process.

I am committed to tracking as honestly as I can on MFP. I follow a way of eating (WOE) promoted by Dr. Ludwig. His method involves low/no sugar or other "white" foods. This WOE encouraged me to add more protein and fat to my diet. I eat either fruit or beans at each meal as a carbohydrate balance. Of course, all natural foods, no processed. I am only 5'2" ft tall and am 63 years old and that gives me a challenge.

I have a gym membership and I am working on a fitness program that includes cardio, weights, and swimming. I also walk three miles a day. I am retired so this is not a problem.

10 Day Challenge Round 100
Starting Weight: 203
Current Weight: 183
Current Goal: BMI<30 or 164
10-day Goal: 182

Day/Weight/Comment

01/04 183 home scale/

01/05 186 after breakfast with clothes. Yesterday I didn't exercise because I had a medical infusion and needed to rest. I'm feeling ready to tackle this.

01/06 185 home scale. This was higher than i expected. I did eat 1600 calories yesterday. The biggest thing is that I had eggs with chorizo along with my usual coffee/collagen/half&half/fruit breakfast. I changed my MFP goal to lose 1/2 pound per week and it gave me a total of 1435 cal/d with 1200 cal/wk of exercise. This may be more realistic because I do not do well with hunger. I'm also going to order a new home scale that measures to the tenths. I love the 10 day challenge.

@xcc670 Thank you for the explanation. I eat neither beans nor fruit with the exception of a few occasional berries. I’m insulin resistant and those things give me a voracious appetite! I get the whole not figuring out how to lose weight and I’ll be 70 next month. I went on a severely restricted doctor’s diet, probably 25 years ago, which was pretty much keto. Lost weight, got rid of a systemic yeast infection and then stopped following it. I’m so glad I learned of keto/LCHF 2.5 years ago. It works for me and I find it easy to stick to when traveling, etc.
