Day/Weight/Comment
02/06 …..192.1….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/07 …..192.1 ….. I am starting my new plan today. I will closely monitor my glucose readings to see how it affects me. I watching also to see what happens with my tummy. So far this morning, it feels like taking my brain out and turning it completely backwards. Logging will be extra important so I can figure all this out. This experiment will likely be temporary. In the end, I don’t think it is what is normally best for me overall. Just what I need right now in regards to several medical issues. Good luck everyone this round!

02/08 …..192.0 ….. My gluclose numbers have been running too high (which is what my medication normally treats as high glucose has been my main problem over the years). Probably because of the carb increase. But it doesn’t cause the sickness and panic eating that the lows do. I will continue with my experiment and see what happens. I am just not used to considering the calories as much so it’s a brain swicheroo thing but I’ll get it. I know lower carb is better for my glucose so I am going to experiment on eating fewer calories but higher carb. The best way to explain is maybe less actual Keto and more low or thoughtful carb intake (low glycemic vs high glycemic etc). I don’t yet know what the numbers will be. Under 50 carbs? Under 100 Carbs? I’m going to try to tweak this thing for sure. If I see any persistent dangerous levels, I will make immediate necessary changes. Let’s see how this continues to go.

02/09 …..193.0 ….. Pizza. But too much. This experiment is finding me able to eat whatever I want pretty much, or so it seems at first. Then, I find it’s the quantities I must watch closer than I usually have to. So it's not quite as easy as I thought. I don’t know if I’m equipped for this mindset. It just makes me feel like I’ve thrown diet right out the window, until it doesn't make me feel that way at all! Still a restriction, but of a different kind. I suppose that whole and healthy is always the way to go, regardless of which plan you choose. Then, I forgot to test my blood sugar this morning so I lost the opportunity to see how badly pizza affects it. One thing for certain, no sugar drops in sight. I’ve got to worry now about it going too far north instead of south. I travel tomorrow out of town with brother for his test results. Likely a restaurant. I will not turn it into a binge day!

02/10 …..193.1 ….. I call this a normal fluctuation this morning. Traveled today and became a human vacuum cleaner. I really don’t even know at this point what my calories should be with this experiment I am on. The same as before? A bit more? I just don’t know. I am consistently hitting in the 1500’s which normally puts me over. I think this is for the birds. I’m rethinking but still nervous about my glucose. I guess I’ll just have to sleep on it. All in all, I honestly don't know is its such a bad idea, I just don't think I'm ready for such a major transition. I dunno. Gotta lot to think about still yet.

Round 104:
Female, 58 yy, 4'11''
OSW: 177.1 lbs
LTG: 105 lbs and BF 23% (or lower, we’ll see :-) (Expect to reach goal weight in March-September)
STG: reach long term goal - or - at least maintain below 110 and reduce BF%!

Goals for 10 Day Challenge: reach last rounds low of 106.2 (1 lb loss). Ideally keep WT<108.0, BF <25.5%

EW Round 103: 107.2, BF% 25.3

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07 107.8, BF 25.4% Weekend bump as usual! Seem to keep losing and gaining the same 0.6 pounds! Dinner out last night for work so not quite sure what calorie count was but did best to approximate. Lots of protein!

02/08 107.8, BF 25.4% No gain is a win on the weekend!!! Weight training this morning and then spin class. Butt is sore after progressive deadlifts today - 5 sets of 5 reps increasing weight by 5 pounds each set! Dinner was swordfish, black beans and rice, salad with mango - plus some tortilla chips and guacamole (still under budget!) Made sous vide egg bites today (gruyere, duck bacon, and scallions) so excited to try them tomorrow for breakfast!

02/09 108.8, BF 25.7% Well weekend caught up with me so can’t escape the usual Monday bump it seems! Heavy weights yesterday (deadlifts up to 125 now) so definitely feeling DOMS -> water retention. Not worried as this is my typical pattern and expect it will drop off during the week. Kettlebell circuit this evening and then some core work. Calories good for the day.

Ready for round 104 {41st for me}
OSW 88KG
RSW 59.90 kg (-28.1 kg) or {- 62 lbs}
Goal....stay under 60kg...a month of maintenance.

02/07 58.85kg much more where I want to be. Need to keep low calories to save some for tasting a variety of international dishes on Sat
02/08 58.35kg a new low which is ironic as I decided this was to be a month of maintenance! I have an international food event tonight which I will keep keto but not worry about calories.
02/09 59.5kg I caved and ate carbs... The bloat is real
02/10 60kg and hoping that's the end of the carb bloat.

02/11 60.05kg all green yesterday so this should start going down soon. Gym done

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 104 (round 36 for me ) I'm in for another round – keep plugging on! Thank you GrandmaJackie.

Female age 61 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

This round goal to just lose - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking & refrain from attacking the cookie jar and left over Christmas chocolates – plan is to put them in DH lunch box each day 'til they're gone!! - there are still residual bits hanging around hubby will have finished them by end of this week!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/07 135.2 – Only 3.14 miles walked, one reason for the increase & I did over indulge yesterday. Today Is a new day!
02/08 135.8 – sigh !! 9.66 miles walked yesterday. Calories exceeded by 306 – I hit the chocolate, must leave it alone!!
02/09 DNW – away from home helping our DD & SIL move house, DD had been readmitted to hospital following contracting an infection (sepsis) after giving birth to our delightful new grandson 2 weeks ago. Luckily, she reported her raised temperature to her midwife after 24 hours and so taken back into hospital, administered IV antibiotics until the sample of her blood was used to culture the bacteria to enable the lab to produce a personally tailored cocktail of antibiotics for her. She was again discharged yesterday and the spring in her step is returning. Thank goodness it was caught early. So she was encouraged to keep her feet up whilst the rest of us did the work!! We stayed in a local Travelodge, so no weigh in this am.
02/10 135.8 – only 1.94 miles walked yesterday . Need to get back at it today.
02/11 135.4 – 9.58 miles walked yesterday, a good day ; 887 calories under & all macros in green. It makes so much difference when I get my walking in !

02/07 134.4 I was determined not to go up between the end of one round and the start of the next!! So yay! Lunch out so I'm planning to eat sensibly...

02/08 134.4 I better buckle down. I didn't log yesterday because I went out for lunch and have no idea what the calories were. I simply have to end the round lower than I started. With my knee hurting and long work hours I haven't done the elliptical. I should make time for that.

02/09 134. Elliptical yesterday and knee didn't hurt (more)! Also, stayed firm and had no alcohol inspire of people strongly suggesting I would like a drink! Who needs a headache?

02/10 133.6 I'm happy I lost during the weekend, with all the social activity! I was super careful on the cheese and chips and dip over the weekend. Had like 3 chips! I wasn't very hungry last evening so didn't have a full meal. That helps too and I need to do that more often, and just save the little bits of food for the next day. There's so much food around but it doesn't mean it has to go into my stomach all at the same time.

I'd forgotten my motto of a few months ago " there's always tomorrow" - I too don't need to neccessarily have to eat ALL the food/goodies today, I can save some for tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me of this, I'm going to use it again.

@shunggie - Walking is my salvation, it keeps me sane, during the week it's my time, I do my planning, contemplating, meditating & it enables me to eat a little more. At the weekends my DH joins me and we usually get out into the countryside to do a long walk together. I'm glad you enjoyed your time walking.

Goals
1 - Track my calories daily
2 - Gym x2 week
3 - Water 1.5l

This round I'd like to start getting back on track with exercise. I'm still getting these weird migraines which don't seem to be alleviating so I'll have to get used to some form of exercise with them.

02/06 - 149.2 round start weight
02/07 - 150.8 (+1.4) 1200 cal, 4.424 steps, I was expecting this after a late dinner even though I was just at my calorie limit. . Unfortunately, I didn't get my steps in as I was in my car most of the day. I've changed my goal for this round to get under 150.x which seems more realistic. For the weekend this time I've also planned a lot of activities to get me out of the house and away from the fridge
02/08 150.8
02/09 150.8
02/10 150.8

02/11 150.8 Still no change weight wise which is not so bad considering my weekend, my daughter has the flu so the last few days have been a bit hectic. I did squeeze in an hour at the gym on Sunday and I tried a YouTube kettle bell workout yesterday (so much harder than it looks!!).

02/07 242.6. Feels good to be taking steps to address the weight issue instead of continuing to surrender to it. Logging food is a must this time. Decided I wasn't hungry at breakfast so with the exception of a splash of skim in my coffee I have bee 15 hours between meals. Time for lunch now! Will keep it "between the lines."

02/08 240.8, morning blood sugar 117. I'll take it. Logging food did indeed make me consider choices and alternatives as the day waxed late and I had fewer calories left in the budget. Weekends are ALWAYS a problem for me, though, so I need to keep my head in the game.

02/09 238.8 morning blood sugar 112. This surprises me, as I gave in and ate 4 slices of french bread with dinner. (Blue cheese and honey drizzle, my resistance was futile.) Needless to say, I hadn't prepared for this splurge so I was 300 calories over target. I have to remember that, for me, the end result of the day starts with what decisions I make at breakfast. I also have to remember that for whatever reason it takes my body two days to show the consequences of a bad eating day, so I can't get too happy with today until I see tomorrow.

02/10 239.8. more later.

02/11 239.9 blood sugar 99. Well the sugar says I ate okay yesterday, even if the scale is still protesting about the weekend. Stayed under 1300 calories yesterday. But I woke up hungry this morning so I am going to have to plan carefully to avoid temptations. I see lots of water in my future!

02/08 - 147.9, have a birthday / retirement / bon voyage party tonight. Plan to park myself across the room from the food but sometimes best laid plans fail. Fingerscrossed
02/09 - 147.7, well apparently I survived the party we'll see if I can keep it up for the rest of the week.
02/10 - 148.0, maybe a delayed reaction from Saturday night. :-( Back to work and the regular eating / exercise routine so hopefully that will help.

02/07 - Act: 148.6 Trend: 150.1
02/08 - 147.3
02/09 - 147.5
02/10 - 149.3
02/11 - 147.9 - And dropped back down like I expected it would (though shocked it dropped that low that quickly). I was so bloated (like a hard-belly bloat, not a soft fluffy bloat) last night. I did some yoga (YWA - Winter Blues and Digestion/When You Eat Too Much). Not sure how much it helped with the belly, but it definitely helped with my mental state surrounding it. I think its because I went carb-heavy last night since the chicken&rice soup wasn't thawed out by dinner (batch cooked a few weeks ago, froze half) and I only had ramen or mac and cheese available (everything else is frozen). I did have a halo orange for "dessert" and it was amazing. I'm back to being stuck on stupid when it comes to those! Better than a processed sweet treat, plus I can eat 1 or 2 and be content so portions aren't an issue. Either way, whatever I did, worked. It helped that I ate heavier/larger meal/snack at lunch and went lighter with just the ramen and halo orange for dinner. Wasn't super hungry after that, thankfully. Here's to another good day! Side note: I realized today I have to really pay attention how I place my feet on my scale. I didn't have my heel fully on the scan portion and I got 40% BF! I readjusted, did it again with my feet properly placed and I was at 33.1%, much closer to where I was yesterday. I will get this figured out. I did play with the settings on Libra and decided since I do these 10 day challenges, I will adjust my "smoothing" days to 10 days (it was at 14 days so I made it a bit more sensitive to each individual weight I input). It changed my goal date forecast from May 1st to April 6th! If that's not motivation to stay on track, I don't know what is.

Previous Day's Comments

02/07 - It always makes me a bit nervous when I start a round down. The way I bounce around (and I seem to be doing that between 148.x and 149.x -- another stuck point similar to 154.x-155.x) I am scared if I start low, I'll end higher and have a gain for the round instead of a loss. Although that's okay, especially if its only small, it still messes with my head and gets me down a bit. I'm finally getting into a good mindset and down want to ruin that. I made crock pot 3-bean chili last night. First time ever making chili! We shall see how it is when it comes time to break my fast. I'm suuuuuper hungry this morning but I just brewed my coffee and hopefully that will get me through until its time to eat. I have to take my car in..again.. more $$ into this stupid thing.. only bought it for $4600 w/ tax and depending on how much today's work cost, I've invested ~$2200 in work over the last 3 weeks. Its kinda stressing me out (read: stress eating temptations) but I know if I get this job, I'll be needing a car good on gas that's reliable. And if I don't move before spring break, I'll have to have a safe car to take BF's kids down to him for spring break for all of us! Just have to survive the temptations of being in town. Especially since I'm planning on stopping at the store (amazing ad this week -- valentine's day meat deal and I need to stock up - haven't gone grocery shopping in about a month) before I head home so I don't have to waste time and gas going into town
02/08 - Was NOT expecting this. I went out to dinner last night with a friend and dinner was late, it was at a restaurant (hello, sodium!) and I had a beer (they're a taphouse, they make their own beers in the back of the restaurant and I was curious). But I will certainly take it! Gonna work on some glutes today (at home banded workouts and probably yoga) as I haven't been glute-focused and that is something my surgeon and physical therapist pushed hard for (my glutes/hips out of whack = back pain at fusion and puts me at risk for faster deterioration above it [where I already have deterioration -- don't want to speed up that process and require another fusion!]). Going to go get my lunch ready here in a bit. Going to cut my fast short as dinner was so late but I'm quite hungry. I still made it over 12 hours so I'm still getting the benefits of fasting and I'm making a conscious decision -- still working on not mindlessly eating but I'm making definite improvements! Also, would like to say that today marks 1 week since my last cigarette! BF is also trying to quit and even though we are in separate states, if he isn't smoking, I'm not. Its been so hard to quit since everyone around me smokes and I always get dragged in by those around me (I smell it, I see it, I crave it). But since we both gave up, last weekend when I saw him neither of us gave in (we are the only 2 in that friend group that used to) and I haven't spent time with my neighbor (who also said she wants to quit but its been super hard for her for the same reasons) I've been able to stay away. Saves money and my body! I still feel the hand-to-mouth motion craving but BF told me if I just push on my lips with my fingers, it helps. So far, it hasn't been perfect, but its worked well enough that I've stuck to it.
02/09 - I had a higher calorie day. Very calorie dense foods all day. I need to find a way to get more protein in without getting sick of it. I had a protein shake last night and pushed me into much higher calories so I'm quite surprised I'm not up much more than this. I like that a couple of lovely people are pushing for a 100g protein goal daily and I think I'd like to try 75g for awhile to get used to it before upping it to 100g, and then to 125g (which is a current calculated goal based on my weight -- it may change and I'll do that as I get closer to comfortable with the intake). Another lazy day before a full week of work (I really love having Fridays off, just wish it was every Friday haha)
02/10 - Late heavy dinner. It was spaghetti, but definitely ate quite late compared to normal and had more calories/sodium than I needed (but I was super hungry by that point). Boss is coming in today and he forgets to eat sometimes which means I don't get to eat at our normal lunch time due to us working together. I'd rather have a late heavy dinner and just fast longer today since it works out anyway. I'm sure this will drop off fairly quickly, especially since I can tell I'm just heavy and bloated. Started my BF trend yesterday -- I'm heavier today than I was yesterday but my body fat percentage went down today by 3%...this is why I never use the scan part of my scale. BUT this is simply to start the trend so I can report it at the beginning and end, not paying attention to the daily numbers. I wouldn't have been able to do that prior to this group as those crazy numbers would've spiraled me down and caused me to stress/emotional eat or start a crazy unhealthy diet. I'm not sure if the trend will work at all since these numbers seem so far off from my last bodpod scan (I have higher BF now than I did at 160 when I did the bodpod and yet physically, I look like I have less fat). Wish I could get another bodpod (free through the army) but not sure if they will allow veterans or if its only active duty.. I might have to check on that. Oh well, I won't know if the trending with my scale scan will work until I try it so I will give it a shot. If nothing else, I'll just have to go based on how I look/feel.

For those wondering: I have not yet heard back from either interview. Just to keep y'all updated:
Job A - Had the web interview (1st interview) on the 27th and they said it'd be about 2 weeks before I heard whether I'm moving forward or not.
Job B - In person (2nd) interview last Monday. Said the EARLIEST I would hear is this week, otherwise I could be 2-3 weeks.

Current weight: 200.4
Goal weight: 140
February goal: 190
10 day goal: Lose 2-3 lbs and keep sodium and sugar intake under control
Looking forward to more changes this round! I have adjusted goals since I didn’t meet all of goals in Round 103. Regardless, I am ready again for the journey.
Feb 7: 197.8 Wow! Didn’t expect that, although I finished up my period and had a good day keeping under sodium intake. I hope the rest of the challenge goes well!
Feb. 8: 199.1 Overindulged some chocolate! Thankfully, I am still in the 190s.
Feb. 9
Feb. 10: 199.9 Didn’t feel well the day before yesterday, so I didn’t weigh in. I think I need to up my water intake again.
Feb. 11: 198.5 Increasing my water intake has helped.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/7 163.0lbs, 35.2%bf; 8h33m/86 - fighting a kidney infection, pushing LOTS of water, so this bump isn't unexpected. Feeling kind of wrung out.
2/8 163.0lbs, 35.2%bf; 8h48m/90 - great sleep! Feel 1000x better, though still feeling a little abdominal pain. Didn't keep me down, though - caught up on my workout, took the dogs for a good walk and then a trip to the dog park! The sun is shining and it's a good day to have a good day....
2/9 162.6lbs, 35.1%bf; 7h29m/87 - still tired, but good. New ink, today, so that's exciting!
2/10 164.0lbs, 35.5%bf; 8h27m/89 - a LOT of sodium yesterday and a ton of water. Not surprised. Back to real life this week. 😊
2/11 165.4lbs, 35.8%bf; 7h44m/82 - this day started badly and has gone downhill. The weight gain is more than likely the result of the fact that my left kidney is not able to push fluid properly at this time - until the stone passes and the blockage clears. I feel bloated, thirsty, tired and supremely unmotivated. I need this to be over soon.
