Day/Weight/Comment
07/26 144 lbs 1,258 Calories 65 Carbs, 58 Net Carbs 3,360 steps and 30 minutes of water aerobics. Didn’t do much walking today but stood for about 4 hours putting sweet corn. I told my husband I’m done freezing corn!!
07/27 144.0 lbs 1,407 Calories 51 Carbs, 42 Net Carbs. It was a raining day so no exercise today just a lazy day!😊 Went out to eat tonight. We haven’t done this much but in my book this restaurant did it right. Reservations are required and spaced out way more then the requirements. My husband had a steak and I had shrimp. An enjoyable evening.
07/28 144.6 lbs 1,397 Calories, 79 Carbs, 54 Net Carbs, 3,865 steps and 30 minutes water aerobics.
07/29 144.6 lbs 1,107 Calories, 40 Carbs, 19 Net Carbs and 6,836 steps
07/30 146 lbs ⬆️ 1,822 Calories, 106 Carbs, 89 Net Carbs and no exercise. Yesterday totals were all wrong, I just kept snacking into the evening. To much salt and carbs that I did not track. Today was not much better. 😡 I will need to get back on track!

Keith
Male, 59, 5'10"
Starting Weight: 402.8
Current weight: 326.9
Ultimate Goal: 185 lbs., but realistically 15-18% bodyfat.
10-day Goal: 321.5 I'm basing this off my ENDING weight from last round PLUS forcing myself to consistently work out. Gotta be accountable and responsible.
Medium range goal - I turn 60 in early October, so the goal is to be under 300. It would mean I've lost over 100 lbs. in just under a year AND first time under 300 since my late 40's.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/26 - 326.9 - Huge uptick. Overate yesterday and my last meal got me sick and bloated. Not sure if it was undercooked (ribs) or something else, but I'll be preparing them differently next time.
07/27 - 329.0 - Strictly an excess of calories over the weekend. Prolly why I felt ill over the weekend (too much food). I'll be interested to see how much I drop by Saturday weight-in, since it normally reflects the largest, final, end-of-the-week drop.
07/28 - 324.2 - I knew it would drop, but with two small workouts (one aerobic, one weights), the drop was more than I hoped. I'm almost back to where I was Saturday morning. Sometimes you just find the *thing* that clicks and works for you. Over the years, like SO many, I've tried a variety of things. And then I just stumbled across intermittent fasting. I started with the standard 16:8 and slowly moved over to 20:4. I began watching Dr. Jason Fung, who is probably the formost authority on the subject and he spoke of alt. day IF. I worked up the nerve to try it. For someone that LOVES to eat, like I do, it was ALOT of nerve. I'm now starting my fourth week. Per Dr. Fung, there is no reason why the loss won't continue. Now down about 15 lbs. in those 3+ weeks. A little fast, but one by-product is that the loose skin gets eaten from autophagy/ketosis. And there are numerous other health benefits, too, not just the weight loss. I'm just very excited that something works that doesn't limit the foods I eat
07/29 - 327.7 - I always expect the uptick the day after eating. A little high since I drink so much in the morning, but I'm still OK since the weekly trend is down. I try to focus only on the Saturday weigh-in week over week.
07/30 - 323.5 - And the beat goes on... I'm gonna be close to making my medium range goal, but just losing 100 lbs. seems so distant.

07/26 180.8 Yikes! Weekend lack of discipline. Lost my 17X number.
07/27 182.4 Why do I do this to myself? Now I will spend the next week+ just trying to get back to where I was. 😢 I walked into the weekend without planning it, and feeling “low” (energy, spirits) and so I let my “wants” take over. I do think a big part is sodium, but even that will take awhile to flush out.
07/28 DNW
07/29 182.8 This is what poorly managed anxiety will get you. 😢 I’m back on track today. May not see it on the scale tomorrow, but I’m back exercising, journaling, and I ate green. Just need to keep returning to my habits even through the “downs”.
07/30 183.0 still digging myself out of the hole I’ve made. I’ll get there.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 121 (round 53 for me ) I'm in for another round (of course!) – I need to just keep going! Yet again thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.
Female age 62 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 !
Goal for this round – re-lose those 2 pounds ! - get back to & stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, really want to keep the 10 days binge free! Keep calm, wash hands, be kind and follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

Day/Weight/Comment
07/26 136.2 what !!!! 453 calories in credit, but 23 carbs over – 9.79 miles walked yesterday.
07/27 135.6 – only 3.74 miles walked yesterday, (travelled up to take DGS#1 out for the day), hence 54 calories and 75 carbs over. DGS#2 placed on transplant list last night
07/28 134.4 – 9.78 miles walked yesterday, 623 calories in credit, all macros well in green. I am gutted; I am 2 years too old to become a living liver donor to DGS, but encouraging news is that so many of my extended family have also volunteered, lets hope that one of them is compatable and he holds on till a suitable donor can be found – he is very ill now
07/29 134.4 - 364 calories in credit, 3g fat over. DGS update; my niece's husband is a potential match for live donor, awaiting blood results and a scan on Friday, just hope the dear little one can hold on that long
07/30 134.4 - 12.9 miles walked yesterday. 603 calories in credit, all other macros in green.
07/31 135.4 - 4.5 miles walked, over on calories & other macros, also didn't get all water in; took elder DGS out for the day to a country park.

07/26–174.8 That post-hike blip is gone, so here’s to a great round!
07/27–175.6 Not sure where this came from, but these little fluctuations are part of the process, for me at least. I ate well yesterday, but I hurt my hip on Saturday so was only able to do some light walking last night. I’ll ease back into my longer walks.
07/28–174.8 Incredibly hectic day…I did weigh, just didn’t post.
07/29–174.0 Hope this trend continues. My hip feels a good bit better, so I'm hoping for a long walk today either before it gets hot or in the evening when it cools down.
07/30–175 No explanation for this…just what my body does. I got in a good walk early yesterday (first one really since I hurt my hip). Also, ate within calories. I did have a toaster biscuit at dinner, but it didn’t put me over on calories. Could I be THAT sensitive to bread? Back to pushing water today along with the other normal parts of staying on plan.
07/31–176.2 Not enough sleep for the last 3 nights and too much kielbasa for dinner. On to better things today! I just want to be lower than 175.6 by the end of this round. Going to see my parents this weekend isn’t going to help with that goal though.

07/27: 189.4 - Glad it didn't go up even a smidge. NSV yesterday was eating a small sliver of b-day cake, enjoying it slowly and not wanting more! A small increase would have left me frustrated. I am learning to overcome that!

07/27-206.7 Starting a little late, but want to give it a go. Lots of emotional ups and downs effecting how I feel. Want to gain some kind of focus and control.

07/29-208.4 Typical... try again tomorrow.
07/30-208.2 Over calories yesterday. Got to try and get a better handle on portions when going out. I order a meal but in reality I need like half. Its hard to break the habits.
07/31-208.2 Could be worse...Yesterday was 2 meals out. I need to ground myself.

07/26- 185.2 had a great day worked out and spent the day by the pool so excited for this loss finally but worried if I can maintain it
07/27 184.8 finally some movement, eat less than normal since my stomach was bothering me. Took a day off from workout
07/28 183.8 another good day it seems, I am scared to believe it is true. I worked out and was under for my calories.
07/29 184.4 completed my work out and under on calories
07/30 184.4 went to beach and made sure I squeezed in arms workout before my sons baseball game. Eating was good but not perfect
07/31 184.6 good first half of the day and completed my workout but was really hungry and a little stressed and made poor choices after dinner

Round 121 SW: 186.6 (on 7/25/20)
7/26 – 185.9 This is a glorious day as I have been recently struggling with the 187 speedbump. I’ve now had TWO days under 187 and I think it’s going to stick!
7/27 – 186.2 – Not surprising, because I had some rice with a little soy sauce with dinner last night and that always makes me retain a little water.
7/28 – 186.3 – I guess that exciting “dip” was just a tease. That’s okay. It is cardio day on the stationary bike so hopefully I’ll get this moving back in the other direction.
7/29 – 186.3 – Holding steady here, not bad. I’m really not feeling well today so I’m just going to try to take it easy.
7/30 – 185.4 – There we go! Yesterday I got in my steps, logged my food and drank tea as I tried to rest a bit.
7/31 – 187.0 Had “dinner night” with my husband. It was the first take-out we’d had in 4 weeks. It was delicious – no regrets.

07/26 256.6lbs Just having faith in the plan
07/27 255.8lbs Got the exercise bike out for the first time in 3 years yesterday, felt good to start doing a bit of exercise.
07/28 256.2lbs All good, just sticking to the plan, staying on course.
07/29 255.8lbs Had another session on the exercise bike last night, did 13 minutes which is 2 more than Sunday and managed to get over 7000 steps in at work. All good, counting calories and knowing it will work.
07/30 256lbs So am trailing the Rouvy app on my phone to see if it will make static cycling any more fun...and I’ve got to say it does make you more invested in the actual cycling and I did a lot more work than just sitting there at a constant pace. All in all still keeping to the plan and having faith.
07/31 256lbs It’s just so hot and beautiful, I’m having a lovely day relaxing in the garden today and chilling with the dog. Happy days, onwards and upwards (or should that be downwards🤪)

About me:I love learning about food and everything about it; from the way it acts in the body to learning to cook a new recipe. I went to school for nutrition (got my bachelor's) but I didn’t become an RD because it didn’t feel like the path for me. I guess I wanted to keep it as more of an interest instead of a career. I then went into public health to further my education and I currently help medically complex patients by connecting them with community resources to improve their health and life. I enjoy helping family and friends when they ask for advice related to food and nutrition. Plus, it helps me brush up on what I spent so much time learning!Previous days’ entries
I’m here because when I’m not paying attention to what I eat, I start to gain and feel uncomfortable in my body. For me that results in frustration and a lot of other emotions. It has also increased my cholesterol in the past (It’s good now as far as I know thanks to diet and exercise). I have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, and all that fun stuff. So, I want to prevent that for myself by getting a hold of my food habits now.
I’m always open to conversation about food and nutrition, so feel free to reach out to me!07/26 117.2 Starting at the same weight I ended in round 119 thanks to eating a whole lot of salt on Friday after our hike. As semblances of normal life start creeping back in like takeout food, I find it harder to resist. Especially when it’s right in my face (Like my in-laws ordering takeout and wanting us to eat upstairs with them). I have a hard time saying no to those things because I enjoy them. One positive is that I feel like I did well last week and made a huge volume of summer squash to go with a minimal amount of Chinese food I ended up eating (maybe 1 cup worth of General Tso’s chicken, one chicken finger, and ½ cup pork fried rice, a fried dough ball, then a mountain of sautéed zucchini/summer squash). That method worked pretty well, I felt satisfied afterwards, but it took a while to feel full. I wanted to eat more but resisted.
I know I said going into this it would be tough because the lower you go the harder it is to get to the goal number at my height. I just need to remind myself of that and keep on chugging because I love the changes I have seen and feel very comfortable in my own skin. I just don’t want to feel uncomfortable again…which can happen if takeout becomes a habit.
So cheers to a new round with a new focus and challenges of not letting takeout food get in the way of my success.
07/27 117.2 Solid start to the day with a good soccer workout before the 100 degree plus humidity weather rolls in. I made a new batch of granola yesterday and added some crushed up brown rice cakes to it to add some bulk without a lot of calories. I’m excited to try it with my fruit and yogurt for breakfast.
It’s CSA pick up today and I got an email saying there will be peaches in it, so I’m very excited to try those! I love in season and local peaches! They are so so yummyyyyy! We’ll also be getting kohlrabi which will be fun to cook with! I love kohlrabi just sliced and munched on raw. So much yummy produce is really going to start rolling in and I’m so excited about it!
I’m also feeling refreshed after my mini vacation last week of having Wednesday to Friday off work.
07/28 118.0 Salt is not my friend. Had Thai food last night and wasn’t over on anything numbers wise. Done with takeout for a while. My husband really wanted it last night and I caved because it sounded way too good as I was really hungry at the time. Bleck,now I pay. Hoping the water weight doesn’t stick around because it doesn’t feel good being all swollen. I felt it in my fingers and face this morning snd hoping it fades.
Besides that, we went for a really nice walk this morning at around 5ish miles and it included black berry picking! So that was fun coming home with about a pint of wild black berries to accompany our CSA blueberries, apples and peaches in the fridge. I have healthy food all planned out for today and planning to stick to it.
07/29 119.2 Water weight is crazy right now. Besides that, I had a really good soccer workout this morning. I also switched up my breakfast routine today because I had leftover kielbasa to finish up. So I browned the kielbasa (4 oz) slices in a pan and then threw in an egg. Then on the side, I had a slice of whole wheat raisin toast (Angelic Bakehouse brand) topped with ½ tbs peanut butter along with some blueberries and blackberries. It was a pretty balanced breakfast and it’ll be interesting to see how well it keeps me satisfied.
07/30 117.0 Finally got the whoosh of water weight released. I can feel it too! My fingers don’t feel swollen which is nice 😊. We went for a really nice walk this morning. I think it clocked in at about 6.5ish miles. I think I’ll be frying an egg to go with my yogurt and fruit this morning. Then for a snack I’ll have some fresh kohlrabi and cucumbers. I’ll probably have a couple pieces of dried fruit with it too for a sweet treat. I’m looking forward to possibly having a taco salad for dinner tonight! Have a good day!
07/31 116.4 More whoosh of water weight 😊. Finally back to baseline after over a week of high weigh-ins. We did a really good soccer workout this morning. I have my meals all planned for the day. For breakfast I’m having leftover chili I made last night topped with an egg. Then I’ll have fruit, yogurt and granola on the side. Snack will be some more kohlrabi and cucumber sprinkled with chili lime seasoning. Then, for dinner I think I want to make chicken thighs, purple potatoes, and zucchini ribbons with a touch of alfredo sauce for dinner tonight. Happy Friday all!

7/26: 220.6 Yesterday’s number was a big drop, I said then that a lot of it was probably water. Just balancing out today.
7/27: 221.4 My scale was acting weird last night (display light on and flickering when it hadn’t been touched since that morning) and I had to replace the battery this morning, so I can totally blame this bump on that, right? In all seriousness, I’m still lower than three days ago...still balancing out that big one-day drop, I guess. Follow the trend, not the fluctuations. It’s why I post the chart.
7/28: 222.6 Right...there’s no “just balancing out the fluctuations” or “follow the trend” here. I had a mini fast food binge yesterday, and I gained. Time to get back on track.
7/29: 222.4 Was hoping for a bigger drop, but at least it’s in the right direction at last!
7/30: 220.4 There it is.
7/31: 220.2 Back to where I started the round, except now the trendline is catching up to the low number on the scale. The scale flirted with numbers in the 219 range, but settled here. Soon enough...

Goal this round: Report daily
7/29-157-I was doing so good and then my life got so busy I couldn’t see straight. I was painting all of the garage cabinets and doors so we could install them. All of a sudden, I found the exact long arm sewing machine I’ve been looking for, used, and I dropped everything I was doing and my friend and I drove 6 hours and got it and hauled it home, set it up and we’ve had nonstop company. This morning I got my coffee, sat down to report back to you as the first step back to “normal”. I hope you are all doing good. 💚☕️

8/31-157-Finally getting back into a routine. Heading out for a bike ride soon. My sister is coming to visit and I need to get all of our mother’s table coverings out and measure/label and group according to size and I’ll donate what is left after she and I go through them. Our dear mother loved to shop and decorate. This will be a load off of me and out of my house. When DH and I die, I want our kids to be able to sweep the floor and put a for sale sign up.😊5 -

Round 121
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
07/26: 210.2 / A bump up from yesterday, but no surprise. Had my hand in the candy dish and other carbs all day yesterday. And, it was too hot and humid for very much activity outside.
07/27: 210.8 / I guess I will be happy with this for a Monday morning. Way better (4.2# better) than last Monday.
07/28: 209.4 / fingers crossed and mouth shut, I might make it to below 208 this round.
07/29: 206.8 / Ok that was unexpected, obviously. I better wear a neck brace for tomorrow’s jump up.
07/30: 206.6 / Braced for no reason, but not unhappy. 😊
07/31: 205.8 / I am getting close to a range where I could be happy in maintenance. Got here quicker than I expected, so I will need to manage expectations. And, there are some social engagements coming soon. Expectations = Premeditated Resentments. 😊

Day/Weight/Comment
07/26 DNW, but it’s good to be back at a deficit and so much easier after the break. I’d been struggling a bit before, so I’m hoping the reset helps with adhering to my diet. I didn’t weigh in this morning because I was camping last night. First weigh in will be tomorrow.
07/27 202.6. I’m pretty happy about this since it was what my last and lowest weigh in was before the diet break. I’ve only been back at a deficit for two days.
07/28 200.8. Wow. I expect it will bump up a bit since that's the way the process goes, but I'm really glad that the break I took didn't derail me from losing.
07/29 199.6. Yay! I have not seen this number in five years. At some point it's going to bump back up a bit, but soon enough I won't ever see the 200s again.
07/30 200. Glad I got to see the 190s before the bump up. Probably will see them again this round.

7/26: 171 nice round number to start R121
7/27: 170.1 Glimpse of the "0" back from last round. Lots of gym activities for me over the weekend. A bit worried going into the week. The gym is not as ready of an option with my work/sleep routine; and mother-nature is dishing out extreme heat which doesn't work out well for me walking outside during my lunch time. Tune in tomorrow to see how I resolve this activity quandary!
7/28: 169.8 Blessed with a cooling rain so a nice evening for my walk. Can't credit the BIG 3 oz loss solely to that. All I can say is don't mistakenly take a magnesium supplement instead of your crazy pill on an empty stomach. In a desperate attempt to keep what is likely not a fat loss, I just got back from a fasted hour walk in the low 80's sunshine. Plan to take the pup on a shorter one when it cools off this evening--gotta stay on her good side.;)
7/29: 170.0 Feels like a solid pound lost since the beginning of the round. YAY! I feel more "centered" once I inexplicably nudge up a couple ounces after following all my rules for several days in a row. Something comforting about knowing that lower number lives because it's been achieved. Maybe those ounces are in transformation, too? Fat-to-Water-to-Muscle-to burn Fat-to-Water to....? So I made that last part up--I don't know if that is how the body burns or not, but it feels like how my "extra" is rolling right now. (pun intended):*
7/30: 171.1 Speaking of inexplicable...I noticed many of us bumped up overnight, more than a few ozs in some cases, despite doing everything right. (Except for@luksterdog118--congrats on solidly landing in the 160's!) Oddly enough, my mirror and my scale are not synced. I look so much healthier than I did last round and even yesterday when I was over a pound lighter--lol! So I share this to say that our daily victories are where we find them, scales be damned! Keep pushing 10-day Fit Fam!
7/31: 171.2 Looking forward to gym day and date night with the hubs. He is such a lucky man!

7/28: DNW, been a little out of sorts after a fabulous bike wreck. Took a week off of everything. Appetite was crazy, exercise was forbidden (concussion & Contusions everywhere), and it was TOM. I honestly just didn't want to look at the scale. Tomorrow I take the blinders off and assess the damage...
7/29: 171.4, not as bad as I thought it would be. I had a late dinner last night and with TOM, it is probably 170.x in reality. I can deal with that. Thanks for the "hugs" all.
7/30: 172.2, Well yesterday was awful food wise, I had 2 pieces of pie and some Great American Cookie cookie cake. Barely exercised. I gotta get back on board before I completely self destruct!
7/31: 171.4, Moving in the right direction despite my lack of exercise. The headaches are back so I'm guessing the concussion isn't quite healed yet. Grrrrr... No the less, I can do this. Maybe by the end of the round I'll be back to where I was at the beginning of the round. No harm no foul.

I'm alive!!! Summer with kids and work and COVID madness caused me an unintended and unexpected hiatus from this lovely group. I will be in and out this round and possibly next as the kids go back to Kansas for school next weekend ( ) and my Godson is in the hospital with a nasty virus. Hopefully he can kick it soon as he's going in a few weeks for the bloodwork and other necessities to be put on the transplant list. I need all the support I can get to keep it together mentally and not stress eat myself sick.

07/31 - 153.4 - Well, first time weighing at all since May... Not too bad, I'll say. I haven't done anything except the occasional yoga, walk, and once a hill run with the middle kid. She's in cross country so she likes to try to kill me on runs haha Absolutely no food tracking done, no attempt at portion control, nothing! I'm actually quite surprised about my weight, especially as I've been super bloated and heavy feeling lately, I figured I'd creeped back up in to the 160s. Apparently this is a stuck weight and I'm glad for it. Now time to move my stuck weight down.

07/28: 134.5 | Birthday was yesterday, so an impromptu visit from my parents was accompanied by an impromptu cherry pie. Along with testing out some other foods/recipes earlier in the day, definitely went over the calorie count. I didn't feel comfortable turning it away, but will probably just throw the leftovers away (sorry mom! It is very good, I promise!). Recommitting myself today.
07/29: 133.2 | Sort of recommitted myself; ate only half a piece of leftover pie. Had some great Mediterranean food from Aladdin's (regional restaurant chain based in Ohio, with some locations in surrounding states). Stayed within the calorie count, so gonna keep up that progress and ensure at least some weight is lost this round...

Day, Weight, Comment
07/31 - 153.4 - Well, first time weighing at all since May... Not too bad, I'll say. I haven't done anything except the occasional yoga, walk, and once a hill run with the middle kid. She's in cross country so she likes to try to kill me on runs haha Absolutely no food tracking done, no attempt at portion control, nothing! I'm actually quite surprised about my weight, especially as I've been super bloated and heavy feeling lately, I figured I'd creeped back up in to the 160s. Apparently this is a stuck weight and I'm glad for it. Now time to move my stuck weight down.

07/26:
Monday 07/27 - 147.7 - loving the accountability of 10 day chunks.
Tuesday 07/28 - 147.3 - I see that it took me 8 months of these rounds to lose 10 pounds, I have 30+ more to go, trying to work hard and be patient.
Wednesday 07/29 - 145.6 - New low. Went back to bed this morning, so got this great number either from being more rested or having 2 more hours before weighing to sleep off a few calories.
Thursday 07/30 - 144.5 - Wow, quite a drop. This going back to bed is really working for me.
Friday 07/31 - 145.0 - Big party long weekend here, going to try to be as "good" as possible.

Great job on that new garden, it looks fabulous.
I cover all of mine over the winter so that they are not full of weeds before planting time.
I look forward to seeing what you put in there.6 -
