01/18 189.6 Went out to dinner last night and ate some bread and a few bites of spumoni and had wine, so happy I didn't gain. Hope it doesn't show up tomorrow. Plan on going on a long walk today and doing resistance exercises and clean eating today.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
Do you take measurements? I’m terrible at that myself but if you are losing FAT and gaining MUSCLE your weight may not change but your body composition will. A pound is a pound but muscle takes up less space! - Jpv, 11/22/19

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

01/18 121.0 Got up late.
01/19. 122.0 Was in an all day sewing class yesterday. We had a buffet of deli meat and cheese. I keto-ed the best I could with the selection available and suspect this might be water. Didn’t drink enough water. My back was killing me when I got home but feels better now. No worries about the blip.
01/20 120.5 Meeting DD#2 and her husband for her late birthday lunch. Great Greek - YUM!
01/21 121.5 I haven’t been tracking food for a week, haven’t been to the gym since 1/13 and may have slacked off in water. I need to get my act together and not be complacent. I have failed too many times in the past! I have 1/2 of my Greek Salad left from yesterday.
01/22 122.5 Ate way too many carbs yesterday. I ate a snack at 9pm and went to bed - pork rind nachos so it was keto but I could not keep my eyes open and was falling asleep in my chair so went to bed at 9:40 and slept until 6AM! Meeting Amy at the gym today.
01/23 121.0 19 hour fast yesterday then had 1c cauliflower with butter and cheese and a 5 oz burger - no bun. It was quite satisfying.
01/24 120.0. Essentially ate carnivore yesterday.
01/25. 121.0 Sweet Tomatoes yesterday, out late last night and up too early this morning. Meeting friends at Hibachi Grill for his birthday today.11 -
So ready for Round 102 (my 3rd)
Started MFP 12/27/19 - Heaviest Weight Ever - 186.0
Round 100 -7.6 lbs (actually 12 days - includes the 2 initial days on MFP)
Round 101 -1.9 lbs
Round 102 Starting Weight 1/17: 176.5
1/18 176.0
1/19 176.0
1/20 177.0
1/21 177.0
1/22 175.9
1/23 175.0
1/24 175.4
1/25 175.2 Wasn't going for IF today but ended up with 15 hours. My number of hours for IF is always based on my fast ending when I have 1/2 cup of whole milk in my tea (yes,1/2 a cup in a 1 cup of tea - my husband laughs when I pour a 'splash' of milk in it. LOL). It's 75 calories but I usually don't eat until 2 or 3 hours later. Had a really good day again yesterday - rowed 30 mins, lots of vegis, some fruit and pretty good on water - not great. 1170 calories which seems to be naturally where my body wants to be around right now. I was eating bread but I've stopped for now because I hate when I use calories on it when I could have so much more of something else and not get hungry later. I have my eyes on one thing right now - I want to see 160's again!!
1/26
1/27
Goal for Round 102 - to continue to eat healthy, drink water, no sugar or processed food. IF 4 out of 7 days, Row, lift weights and walk. 174.5 pounds
Tracking my next goal: hit 160's again!!
Round 102 Daily Recap1/18 176.0 I've lost 10 pounds! What a great way to start this round. It was time for a slight drop so very happy to see it! I had my doubts because I didn't exercise yesterday, or drink enough water and I made english muffin bread and had one slice, which I was still only 1157 calories. The bread only has 63 calories an oz. What I'm most proud of though is the fact I only ate one slice of bread. NEVER in the past would I have had the willpower or control over my cravings to do this, especially in the evenings! Here's to this being a successful round for all of us!
1/19 176.0 I've had a small cold so hadn't exercised for a few days. Rowed 30 mins this morning. Will be shoveling snow later today. Beautiful Sunday morning with the snow untouched yet and deep blue sky. Have a lovely day all!
1/20 177.0 - Yike, that wasn't easy to write.
It just reminds me that I can't get too excited or too low whichever way the scale goes and watch the trend. First time over 1500 calories in 3 weeks on Saturday - 1671 calories, which isn't too bad. Yesterday was 1391 but too many carbs and too much sodium. I've had a cold so didn't exercise Friday and Saturday but did row yesterday and this morning. Have not drank enough water either. So many things to work on over the next eight days of this round! I'm still happy to be out of the 180's FOREVER!!!!
1/21 177.0 Okay, I guess this is the weight I'm going to have to work with
What I did well: Before, I would have been binging and off my 'diet' for weeks by now and especially if my weight went up. The fact I'm still encouraged and sticking to it I am EXTREMELY grateful! I held my calories at 1573 and rowed. I appreciate the small changes that aren't scale related like the fact my clothes fit better.
What I didn't do well: I did not drink water. I ate too many carbs. I made chicken soup for my cold a few days ago and did not have low sodium chicken broth so too much sodium. I haven't done IF for a few days. I haven't had enough vegetables or fruit.
So, I'm throwing down a challenge to myself by writing down all my goals for today on tomorrow's date and I will have to take them off if I don't do them
1/22 175.9 I wrote these goals down yesterday to get back on it and did it! 64 oz of water _Yes_; 4 vegies _YEP_; 2 fruit: _Yes_ (my favorite: frozen blueberries, raspberries and milk in a blender - so good)_; stayed under 1200 calories: _1180_; rowed: _Yes_; turn on favorite songs and dance for 10 mins (because music makes everything better!) _Yep_; began IF before 5PM: _did it!_
I felt like I was slowly losing all the good habits I had created over the past 3 weeks. I can handle my weight fluctuating because that's perfectly normal, as long as I'm doing the right things; however, what got me over the past 3 to 4 days was I could tell I was starting to slip back into my old ways and know from experience this leads to me binging and falling off entirely for weeks, and gaining all my weight back to boot. Not this time, though. I caught myself, learned it's okay if I'm off a few days (it doesn't mean I blew it) and I don't have to be so damn rigid - just get right back to eating healthy and exercising. Goodness, losing weight really is as much about your mental/emotional health as it is physical, isn't it...?! AND working on both is necessary!
1/23 175.0 - Yesterday was another good day. Calories: 1181 / Rowing: 30 mins / Vegies: 4 / Fruit: 2 / Water 50 oz (ok, not great) / IF 17 hours. Made it thru 3 or 4 days of feeling like I was about to cave - glad to be on the other side of that!
1/24 175.4 IF 17 hrs / Calories: 1080 1181 (correcting my calories for yesterday) / Free Weights

Round 102, 19th Round for Me
Starting Weight: 283.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 281.2 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
01/18: 282.9 lbs (-0.3) ... Down a bit more today. Hopefully I’m done with my eating struggles and can stay on the right path going forward.
01/19: 281.3 lbs (-1.6) … Nice little whoosh there. Let’s see if I can hold onto it! This is my first new low weight since late November.
01/20: 281.3 lbs (no change)
01/21: 282.6 lbs (+1.3) … Up a little. Still on track with my eating plan so it’s just a fluctuation rather than anything to worry about.
01/22: 281.6 lbs (-1.0) … And away most of that fluctuation goes. Much better than I expected, since dinner was a bit carb-heavy (rice) and later than usual.
01/23: 281.3 lbs (-0.3) … I keep seeing this number this round!
01/24: 282.1 lbs (+0.8) … Small uptick. We ate dinner a bit late last night. I was within budget though, so it’s nothing to worry about. To be honest, I’m just glad I’m bouncing around 281-282 rather than higher!
01/25: 280.6 lbs (-1.5) … another new low! Getting closer to -110, which is a major goal for me. Once I surpass -110, I’ve lost more weight than I did back ten years ago.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 - 387.1 - Good start. Knee pain almost gone. Gonna try a little walking and lifting today.
01/19 - 387.1 - My knee finally feels better, but now I've got on helluva head cold. I'll rest today, but may try a little something later.
01/20 - 386.2 - Still have my cold, but feeling better. Definitely going to the gym today.
01/21 - 385.0 - HUGE jump over the last few days. From illness or changes? I began intermittent fasting on Sunday 15/9 pattern. A little tough without those late night snacks, but mornings aren't too bad if I drink water/sea salt to replace electrolytes, then coffee when I get back from my walk. Gonna focus that first meal @ 10AM on protein and last snack @ 7PM on protein bar.
01/22 - 383.6 - The only major change in the past few weeks has been starting Intermittent Fasting. I don't want to drop too fast, but I also expected a fast initial drop. As long as I can slow it down (w/ more calories in my eating window), I'll be fine.
01/23- 381.2 - OK, even I am a little surprised how well IF seems to work for me. I still have a head cold, so little exercise, at all. This weight loss is all Intermittent Fasting, so, for me, this seems to work very well.
01/24 - 379.8 - And the drop continues. Considering I was over 400 lbs. just before Thanksgiving, I'm very happy. Just getting over this headcold, plus starting Intermittent Fasting almost a week ago, this seems to be MY key.
01/25 - 379.3 - As much as I like losing weight, if the drop continues at this rate I may have to modify Intermediate Fasting and break the fast early one or two days per week. I'll give it one more week and then make those decisions.

Round 101 EW - 172.8
1/18 - 172.4
1/19 - 171.8
1/20 - 172.0 Great weekend. Ate sensibly. Going to keep it going at work this week.
1/21 - 171.8 Monday was good. Found some dark chocolate covered almonds on the clearance shelf. Just a couple of these delicious morsels make the best reward at the end of the day. (Hard to eat just 2 but there are only 12 so I'm going to try to make them last - my challenge for the week).
1/22 - 171.0 This round is going great. I think I've found a plan that will work. I'm eating mostly the same meals every day which makes it soooo much easier for me. No decisions. Eating a lot of eggs (love eggs) cooked every which way with different bits of meat/veggies thrown in. No cholesterol problems so not worried about that. Throw in a good salad with lots of good veggies. A small piece of chocolate and ta-da the weight is coming off. Oh yes, also lots of water! (There are other foods involved but not on a regular basis.)
1/23 - 170.6
1/24 - 170.6 Ok with this. Ate a bit more yesterday. Happy there wasn't a gain.
1/25 - 171.2. Weekend + wine. Pizza tonight. I will try to be mindful of how much is too much. Babysitting this afternoon with 3 yr old and 6 mo old. Can't wait! No grandkids yet but this is good practice.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18--205.0 I barely drank any water yesterday. My upper back is still sore from yesterday, but I did take some pain meds and used a heating pad last night and it definitely helped. Hubby and I are going to paint the laundry room/storage room this weekend. I'm going to try and go out for a walk today, but it's supposed to be raining all day so who knows.
01/19--204.8 Upper back feeling better. Hubby finished 1/2 of the painting, and I will do some more painting today. Strength coach today.
01/20--204.5 I had a dexa scan on Friday and frustratingly, my body fat % hardly changed from my last scan. While, I did lose a good % of body fat, because I also lost lean muscle mass, my body fat % basically stayed the same from my last scan. I talked to my strength coach yesterday about the results, and it was clear that I'm not eating enough protein. So, my first goal is to get my protein amount to 100g per day, I need to eat more than 100g, but it's a start.
01/21--204.5 106g of protein yesterday. It took a bit of maneuvering to make sure that I got in my protein, which included a late evening snack of roasted chicken, but I got my protein in. Rest day today.
01/22--204.3 105g of protein yesterday. It was a little easier to get my protein in as I was a little better at planning it out. But it was more difficult in that the increased protein made me feel fuller throughout the day, such that by lunch time I didn't want to eat anymore, even though I hadn't eaten enough calories for the day, and I still needed to eat more protein to reach my protein goal. I know it will take my body a little while to get used to the increase in protein, so I just need to stick to it. Strength coach today.
01/23--204.5 100g of protein yesterday. I had a great workout yesterday. Rest day today.
01/24--205.0 101g of protein yesterday. I am treating my 100g of protein goal as a game. Last night I needed 1g of protein to reach my goal, so I started looking in my cupboard and reading all of the nutritional labels. Then I found out that one piece of my dark chocolate has 1g of protein, I was so excited...so of course I had to have 2 pieces.
01/25--206.1 101g of protein. I bought some prepared food for dinner last night, so there definitely was some extra sodium. I am going for afternoon tea today, so I expect a jump tomorrow as well.

Day/Weight/Comment:
01/18: 130.0 - smack dab on my original goal weight this morning. I’ve decided to eat at or below maintenance for a couple weeks, continue to work on strength training and then possibly losing another 5 lbs. Had a fantastic first day back to the gym yesterday, an hour total including 20 minutes elliptical.
01/19: 130.0 - this maintenance thing is interesting. I feel like I've been eating so much more and yet, the scale stays the same, it's hard to wrap my head around. Thinking of still eating below maintenance every few days until I trust this weight.
01/20: 130.0 - still here. Ate below calories yesterday but did not work out at all, just did my elbow physical therapy. Heading to the gym this morning, can not wait.
01/21: 130.8 - ate well all weekend, looking forward to being able to exercise more often. I did do my elbow P/T at least once every day. I know it takes time but, ugh, I’m impatient.
01/22: 129.8 - I swam laps yesterday for about half an hour (with breaks) and wow, what a great workout. Bonus, my elbow was able to take it. Went to the gym this morning and had a fantastic legs/abs workout with 30 minutes elliptical. I would do that every day if I could but that's how I get injured. Another bonus, the first set of deadlifts were noticeably easier than they had been. Still haven't missed a day of P/T yet, not that I see any difference but I'll keep with it.
01/23: 129.4 - off to swim some laps. Did my elbow p/t last night, there might be some itsy bitsy signs of improvement...
01/24: 130.0 - got totally derailed by a migraine yesterday, spent the day in bed after swimming the laps in the morning. Today is a much better day. Went to the gym and had a great workout, added some leg presses and some weight to my hip thrusts.
01/25: 130.4 - right back where I started. Not sure I’ll be able to bring this down over the weekend, we have a big event tonight. Maybe Sunday will be a good day to reset.

1/20 DNW (travel)
1/21 206.2 -- Whew! My losses have been so slow compared to previous weight loss attempts I was wondering if my maintenance calories had fallen to a really low level. Nice to see this method (track, exercise, journal) will produce results
1/22 205.8 -- happy to see another loss! Need to be careful with calories today, though, as I’ve skipped my morning exercise due to a massive blister. ☹️
1/23 205.2 — whoohoo! It’s like my body finally said “oh, she’s serious about this, guess it’s time to finally get going”. 😁. I won’t expect a loss everyday, but nice to have momentum for these past 3!
1/24 205.0 — TOM and my body is dropping weight, I’m happy. Thought my body composition scale was really confused by my TOM, but actually it was just my account finally accepted I am a female and so it changed all the calculations. My body fat went up 10 percentage points!! But the ranges look more realistic now so I guess all is good.
1/25 204.6 — happy and surprised with another loss! After last round with up and down and slow going this one is very rewarding. Just need to remember it won’t stay this nice, steady down slope. The only guarantee is that life WILL interfere at some point. Just hopefully it will hold out long enough for me to lock in my habits first!

01/25 - 148.4 - Whoa there, body! I was not expecting that, especially as this is a low I haven't seen since I started creeping up after my injury! Apparently the sodium retention for the last few days covered up some additional lost. I thought yesterday's weight was the water weight dropping but apparently there was more hiding! Not that I'm complaining at all. I expect a blip, this seems almost too quick a drop to not bump up a bit. Need to focus on rehydrating as I've been horrible lately (especially Thursday since I was traveling and weather was coming in as I drove the 2 hours home. Didn't want to stop to pee and get stranded!) Today is the day. I'm feeling a bit bored being alone in my house so I'm playing catch-up on my HOME practice (Yoga with Adriene). I am behind 10 days right now due to my food poisoning as well as my trip to Texas. I'm planning on doing 4-5 practices throughout the day today and again tomorrow as I have no plans. I have done 2 thus far so 2-3 more with breaks in between will not be difficult so long as I listen to my body. These 2 I've done so far have been SUPER refreshing and I feel recentered from the madness already. Definitely missed it. I want to get caught up so I can start a new journey come February and continue. I feel so much better when I stick to it (though getting started after about 10 days off has been a mental battle, I won this round!) Obviously, if my body says no, I'll just start a little late in February and catch up as I feel better. Sometimes, though, one practice doesn't quite feel like enough so weekends are great to start AND end my day with one and I don't feel overwhelmed.

01/21 - Not at all bad for as long as its been. It was so ridiculously nice outside all weekend and my interview went well. Came back to "feels like" temps in the negatives so not happy about that. Have a phone interview today with a different place but I think I may be getting an offer letter in the next few days from yesterday's interview (based on what my recruiters said after he spoke with the company). We shall see. Nervous as all get out because I think I want the job they're interviewing me for today more than yesterday's but I don't want to turn down the first one and not end up getting the second one. And I have someone supposedly interested in me but haven't heard from them to set up an interview yet. Goal: DON'T STRESS EAT AS MUCH AS I WANT TO
01/22 - Salty, salty, salty. I had Chinese last night since I ended up working over yesterday and didn't have anything at home to make (I didn't pull anything out of the freezer, oops). Oh well, it'll go back down quickly if I don't fall off the wagon again.
01/23
01/24 - I didn't get a chance to post yesterday but I weighed in. Seems like today the sodium water weight dropped off and I'm back down. Really excited for it. Yesterday morning I woke up at 1am freaking out that I missed one of my interviews I had forgotten about. Turns out, that's here in about 10 minutes. Another video/telephone interview on Monday and I got called for an in person second interview with the company I interviewed with this past Tuesday. That will happen the 3rd. Its so exciting and nerve-wracking. But it definitely is keeping me on track with weight loss because there will be lots of beach days if I move to Texas before the summer and I want to be able to wear a swimsuit confidently and not panic or freak out every time.

Thanks! ❤️5 -
@quiltingjaine yes, that has been another huge factor besides the company itself that has led to the weary feeling. Considering where I am moving to, I am likely to have a 45-90 minute drive (depending on traffic, but thus far all companies have flexible hours allowing me to avoid traffic once I learn the patterns). Which one will be worth it is the difficult question as a company and job can look amazing on paper and interviews but be completely wrong for me once I'm immersed. I'm trying to look at it from all directions but with so many different things going on, its becoming jumbled. Getting it out on here definitely helped me see and understand what was going on. I needed it outside my head in front of my eyes to really see and understand some things. My desire for Texas has blinded me a bit, I think, but now I get it. I still have my heart drawing me to Texas and saying take it, but my mind is being much more logical and saying to wait, that patience when unsure has always had better results than instant gratification or rushing into something I'm not at least 90% sure on (I would say 100, but as above, I can't know until I'm immersed). Thank you for your thoughts, they are BEYOND appreciated. There's always a perspective or angle I have not looked at that can change an entire view.8

@CamandJarvis I love how you have laid out everything in your decision making process. Good for you to realize your worth in the market and not just grab the first offer! I think women sometimes forget that they can negotiate for more time, more money, more benefits! You go! You've got this! And I think Texas is in your near future!! We are all rooting for you!11

Day/Weight/Comment:
RSW 140.5
1/18: 141.5 Hoping this is just going to set me up for a good loss this round. Starting the eat right plan again!
1/19: 140.5 Easing back to better eating. It rained all day yesterday, so I couldn't walk. Did about an hour on the elliptical instead....I prefer walking!
1/20: 139.5 Fast walk through the neighborhood hills yesterday and today. Haven't eaten quite as well today, since my husband and son were both on vacation.
1/21: 140.5 Good walk yesterday....but a bit high on calories and food. Hoping to be lower tomorrow, but since I'm taking steroids today, I won't hold my breath. Tomorrow is last round of chemo!!! Yay!
1/22: 138.5
1/23: 138 Read posts yesterday, but didn't get a chance to check in. I finished the last round of chemo yesterday, so in about 12 days chemo and it's symptoms should be behind me! It hasn't been awful, but it hasn't been a cake walk either (although it has involved a bit too much cake!) I met with the radiologist yesterday, and got the go-ahead to start radiation in 12 days, which means I can be done before my son's spring break. I guess I should be thankful that he is a practical kid who really wants to tour colleges and not go to the beach, since the beach immediately following radiation isn't probably the best idea. But, I think on our own, my husband and I would still vote beach!
1/24: 138 Ate pretty well yesterday, carbs in control--which actually made it easier for me!
1/25: 138.5 -- I'm thinking this might be a bump up from exercise? Ate well yesterday. Did and hour of yoga and a 7 mile walk. Feeling a bit woozy today from the chemo, but still planning on walking today.

01/18 264.2 There’s the water bounce dropping, plus a little more. Tom still hasn’t arrived, but at least I’m not holding onto water like the last few times it decided to be late. My goal is to see some new lows this round.
01/19 262.6 When I said yesterday that I wanted to see some new lows this round I wasn’t thinking that I would see them so soon! Though this could in part be to sleeping in an hour later than usual, I’ll be happy if I don’t see a little bounce tomorrow when I weigh at my new usual time. I figured out my eating schedule so that I’m not overly hungry by dinner time and trying not to eat everything in sight. My nsv yesterday was buying some new mean’s sweatpants in large and top in xtra large. The shirt looks a little stuffed sausage on me, but it will soon fit better, and I don’t mind wearing it in the house.
01/20 262.4 I weighed at my usual time this morning and I’m just happy there wasn’t a bounce up from the different weigh in times.
01/21 260.8 This whoosh is brought to me by another later weigh in. I was very tired when I got up this morning, so I went back down for a short bit. I am so glad I did because I feel 100 times better and have energy which has been missing lately. Plus it brought me this nice whoosh down.
01/22 261.0 The small bounce is okay, I was a little high on sodium yesterday. I’ve already hit my goal for the month and anything more is happy extra toward my goal for the year.
01/23 260.4 And back down plus some. I’m only a little bit from the first big goal I wanted to hit this year and I’m going to work really hard to not be derailed by the weekend.
01/24 260.4 I’m good with this, especially since I have some inflammation and soreness. My dog pulled me into a small hole last night, and I’m little sore from that and the extra activity I did. On top of that I had a seizure last night, the first in long awhile, and it has me all sorts of off this morning. Today will be a self-care day, I just have to work to not have it turn into an excuse to eat everything in sight.
01/25 263.6 I was a bit over on calories yesterday and on top of that my dinner was very late, high carb, high sodium. I’m feeling much better today and I know this bounce up will be gone in no time.

I’m in for another round.
R100 1/7/20 (-1.6)
R101 1/18/20 (-4.4)
Start Weight- 218.8lb
Current Weight- 212.8lb)
End of Round 102 Goal- 209lb
Ultimate Goal- 173lb
01/18- 213.8 (+1.0lb) Gain from yesterday, but happy with the overall trend. Meal out tonight, which could be testing. Going to have a very light lunch (make sure I go to the gym) so that I can have a decent meal without feeling like I’m restricting myself so much. Won’t drink any alcohol though- it amazes me how much better I feel even though it’s only been 4 weeks since my last drink.
01/19- 213.2lb (-0.6) Stuck to good choices for the meal last night and drank AF beer. Can’t seem to be finding time to go to the gym. In the past when I’ve lost weight I’ve always felt that I must go to the gym and indeed I enjoy it and love the benefits. However, this is the first time I feel that I’m getting a handle on my eating habits and changing for the better, rather than excessively exercising to try and chase poor food choices. Plan today though is to break my gym ‘mini break’, cook all my lunches for the week and get ahead with some work which will enable me to spend more time at the gym.
01/20- 213.4 (+.2lb) Another slight gain from yesterday, however only minimal. I did run (jog) a 5K yesterday so could be water weight. Was well within my calories. Went to the gym which I enjoyed. Plan for today is to continue to drink loads of fluids and make the right choices when I go out tonight with old work friends.
01/21- 212.6lb (-0.8lb) Back down after a couple of ‘gains’. Went out last night and did have a burger with chips, but only over my calories by around 250. Didn’t drink, which now puts me at nearly 6 weeks AF. So nice not to wake up with a fuzzy head. Plan today is to eat a couple of hundred calories lower than allowed; to make up for yesterday. No gym today- as I’ve got football coaching.
01/22- 212.0 (-.6lb) A new low weight; hopefully this trend will continue for the remaining days of this challenge. Drank loads of water yesterday and even joined in with the 1 mile a day challenge at work (I work in a school). Going to add that in to my routine now as well😀. Finding that I’m eating pretty much the same foods breakfast and lunch each day, varying up the evening meal. I’ll change up my lunches next week to prevent a bit of eating boredom.
01/23- 211.8lb (-0.2lb) Another small loss, good for motivation! I’m doing much better with my water intake and I’m starting to feel the difference in how my clothes feel. Another half a stone and people may start to see it too!
01/24- 211.2lb (-0.6lb) Good to keep the trend going. Think I’ve set the expectation too high for loss this challenge. Will now aim for 210lb which is achieveable in the remainder of the time.
01/25- 211.8lb (+.6lb) Bounce back up. Ate below calories and drank loads of fluid, although didn’t sleep much more than an hour last night. Hopefully a bit more rest and sleep tonight and the scale should go back down.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 …..189.9….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/18 …..189.9 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1423 Calories In / 2984 Calories Out. 42 Net Carbs. 21,302 Total Steps & 9.01 Total Miles. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 1 minutes but it was very broken sleep. I walked for 2 hours & 7 minutes at the school burning 969 calories walking very briskly and I walked on my property for a short 12 minute walk at about 3.0 mph burning another 72 calories. Total extra burn 1041. Good luck everyone! Let’s make this one really count!
01/19 …..189.7 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1716 Calories In / 2125 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 8,197 Total Steps & 3.47 Total Miles related to working. 12/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 3 minutes but I needed so much more. I walked steady for 15 minutes at 2.5 mph burning 65 calories which didn’t help my situation
01/20 …..189.7 ….. First a report on my son who is an adult autistic beautiful boy. First official weekly weigh-in this morning showed a 5.8 pound loss for him Yesterday’s stats: 1838 Calories In / 2436 Calories Out. 76 Carbs. 12,232 Total Steps & 5.18 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 6 minutes and woke up very tired. The school is not open to walk on Sat/Sun and the weather hit 11 degrees below zero by dark. Too cold & icy to walk outside yesterday. I cleaned cabins for a couple of hours. Fitbit saw it as 27 minutes of activity so that’s what I record.
01/21 …..189.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1808 Calories In / 2861 Calories Out. 48 Net Carbs. 21,306 Total Steps & 9.02 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 31 minutes falling asleep earlier last night. I woke up much better rested. I walked at the school at about 3.5 mph average for 116 minutes burning 711 Extra calories.
01/22 …..189.6 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1545 Calories In / 2953 Calories Out. 62 Net Carbs. 20,652 Total Steps & 8.74 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 47 minutes and it felt good. I walked for 14 minutes at home at about 3.0 mph burning 72 cals. I walked at the school for 113 minutes at 4.0 mph burning 775 cals, and I danced for 18 minutes burning 144 cals. [/color=crimson]Sample song: “Pontoon” by Little Big Town.[/color=crimson] Total extra calorie burn 991.
01/23 …..189.9 ….. I deserve this. I cracked a bit under the pressure of making my son’s dinner (which is in his plan, but not mine). Usually I do very well at home. This was a disappointment to myself. The only plus was that I did switch it up a bit to be more carb friendly for my share, but it was still over the top. Yesterday was also a rest day from the long walks. I worked on projects at home. I got A LOT done. Still more to do, but I’ve got to try to fit in a walk of some sort today at the school. I would love to finish up what I’m in the middle of at home, but need and miss the walk. Also, bad behavior should not be rewarded with a day off. Yesterday’s stats: 1889 Calories In / 2467 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 13,269 Total Steps & 5.61 Total miles in my attempt to get 1000 steps per hour while working at home. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours, I slept 5 hours & 7 minutes and needed much much more. Fitbit recognized 2 sets of walking which totaled 40 minutes. The extra calorie burn was about 243 when combined.
01/24 …..190.8 ….. Dinner out with a friend after walking at the school for 90 minutes burning 568 extra calories. Incomplete logging. Fitbit says I burned 2595 Calories and walked 6.97 total miles over the course of the day. I slept 4 hours & 53 minutes and woke up dragging and tired. I am hoping that my diet levels will keep up with my exercise levels soon. Thanks to Quilting Jaine for the idea to make each round goal show a loss, ANY LOSS, from the end weight of the round before. I have amended my goals to reflect this very good idea. Now the mountain I must climb doesn’t seem so high.
01/25 …..191.6 ….. OMGosh, such a horrible and scary blood glucose drop last night that I actually had to have my son keep periodically checking on me. Even with his autism, I feel confident he can call 911 and relay a bit of my medical info to EMTs if necessary. I go over the instructions with him from time to time. My glucose dropped to 52 and I was so shaky and foggy in the eyes I had extreme difficulty testing my sugar. 3 buttons, before meal, after meal or fasting. I couldn’t stop shaking long enough to direct the buttons but before I could manipulate the darn thing, the machine popped up my warning of too low at 52. My smart side said follow the plan and eat my reserved carbs, my sick side said “shovel it in as fast as you can” which I foolishly did for 20 straight minutes until I could feel the difference. Upon a then calmer check my number was 101. 2 hours after using the shovel, my glucose was 159. Technically too high, but boy did I ever finally feel better. Getting my doctor involved means insulin. We’ve already had that talk. However, when my weight loss is going well and my numbers get too low, it’s the opposite and I am actually removed/reduced from medicine. The problem is, I’ve gained and I know that would mean insulin to regulate and I am not about to let that happen when I know I can get this train back on its tracks and start the loss again with a little smart maneuvering. Yes, I am going to be very careful, but let me tell you folks, sometimes it’s mild and not too bad when the sugar drops. However, sometimes it’s unbelievable. Last night was one of the worst! However, with T2D I know that diet and exercise plays a HUGE role so I am working that angle right now.
So, last night, naturally, my numbers on my calories and carbs were corrupted and overboard. My fitbit stats were as follows: 2771 Calories burned. 20,475 Total Steps & 8.66 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours & 26 minutes. I walked at the school for 2 hours & 31 minutes and burned 817 extra calories. Today I am feeling okay and will try to have a better day. The school is closed on Sat & Sun and it is frigid in the northern Michigan temps so no major walking today. I will try to do some in the house but it will be much less than usual. That might be a good thing today though. Keep going everyone! I’m still with you…..It’s just going to take me a little longer to run through the ribbon at the finish line.

@deepwoodslady I am so glad you are okay and you have your son with you to watch out for you! I've watched my grandpa go through this but, unfortunately, he is too stubborn to make the changes or even learn what changes will help. It is very scary indeed, but I have endless faith you know what is best for you and can overcome it with a little patience 6

@deepwoodslady DONNA! How very scary! I am glad you are doing okay and your son was able to help you. My mother is probably the only non-diabetic, post-weight loss surgery person her doctor has ever seen have issues with hypoglycemia. She'll get a metalic taste in her mouth and start feeling foggy. We grab OJ and peanuts for her and that seems to help. She's had to actually call my cell phone because I was upstairs in bed and she knew that neither Dad or I would hear her if she actually yelled! It can be VERY scary. Keeping you in my thoughts girl!5

1/1/20: 209.5
UGW 170
Round102: BW 210.1 – EW ???.??
Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 - 210.1
01/19 – 207 (-3.1)
01/20 – 209.1 (+2.1), Sunday info: 2908 steps, 2 of 12, 6hr20m (76); I have gotten extremely lazy since I was last here. Need to get myself in gear and try again.
01/21 – 207.5 (-1.6), Monday info: 4646 steps, 8 of 12, 6hr56m (83); Since I had Monday off work, I tried to do house-walking every time my Fitbit beeped. (It’s wayyyyy too cold to go outside in Ohio unless you’re crazy.) I rode my recumbent bike. I logged everything that I put into my mouth. I’m of those who gets SAD (seasonal affect disorder) in the winter and it’s been pretty bad this past weekend. ☹
01/22 – 207.1 (-0.4), Tuesday info: 5748 steps, 6 of 12, 5hr35m (71); Back to work. 10 hour day. Lots of sitting. Meant to get up and walk when Fitbit alerted me but that didn’t always happen. I rode my recumbent bike and logged all my food for 2nd day. I did NOT get to bed at a decent time though. I’m still a work in progress but seeing positive signs of holding myself accountable again.
01/23 – 205.6 (-1.5), Wednesday info: 7269 steps, 11 of 12, 6hr24m (76); The only hour in which I did NOT hit 250 steps was from noon to 1pm. I think that’s a NSV for sure! Was I mindful in actually getting up from my desk every hour? Nope. My work day was just that NUTS….then I was making sure to house-walk after I got home. Got some time in on the recumbent bike. First time I have made it over 7k steps in one day that did not involve horseback riding. Food choices have been good. I even allowed myself room for ice cream before bed and 2 Lindor’s peppermint/white chocolates after I was in bed. *guilty pleasure* Still could do better on sleep though. One day at a time.
01/24 – 204.2 (-1.4), Thursday info: 5791 steps, 9 of 12, 5hr53m (72); I had a 10+ hour work day so it was late when I got home. I was uber tired but I managed to ride the recumbent bike and stay within my calories. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to bed when I wanted to. I had missed the evening weather report so I wanted to catch the 10pm forecast. (Should have gone to bed an hour earlier.) Worried about bad weather for Saturday (barn day and 250 mile round-trip commute). #HateWinter
01/25 – 201.6 (-2.6), Friday info: 5389 steps, 10 of 12, 4hr19m (64); Friday was a very stressful short day at work. I had a major headache by the time I got home and I just didn’t want to adult anymore. I skipped family dinner and I skipped riding the bike. I went to bed late since I had to catch the late weather report to prepare for my drive to the barn Saturday morning. (Would we have rain or ice?) I slept like crap! I did stay under my calories for the day.

So, if I can weigh in at 156.8 lbs or less at the end of this 10 days... I will actually be happy... this is because it's been very stressful & crazy and just have given in to myself.
It is 5:10pm on Saturday, Jan. 25th. We are going to my son's home for dinner & my brother & his wife from out of town... will be meeting us there, too. So, there will be a lot of food & my Daughter N Law loves to bake desserts.
I am commiting through this thread to only have a small serving of the brisket that my son has been smoking all day, and no potato salad. I will eat 2 servings of the green beans (I think 1/2 cup per serving), and just a bite of a cookie or cake... depending what she is making & only water to drink. I will not have any of the wine.

Today was much more relaxed. Walked to the local shops and back and caught up on my reading.
Never give up! Never give in!2018:2020
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

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.
