10/03 …..210.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/04 …..210.0 ….. The gift of the pumpkin bread from a friend didn’t help, but I’m working it back down. Luckily it was a mini loaf which I shared. All gone!
10/05 …..211.6….. WTH??? A lot of steps yesterday and food seemed balanced. However, dinner at 11:00 pm (busy day) and no TMI probably contributed. I will stay mindful today!
10/06 …..209.4 ….. Wildly all over the place. Not my scale, just my habits and my TMI. Happy to see such a nice Whoosh today!
10/07 …..209.6….. Fluctuation. Yesterday was a pretty good day!
10/08 …..209.8 ….. I’m still going to call this a fluctuation because I had a very good day yesterday. However, no TMI x 2 days so that is probably it. Overall, I am making better choices. Last night I prep cooked for today’s lunch and leftovers for dinner. A very low cal & low carb dish. It should help. I absolutely cannot keep dipping back up into the 210 and higher. I’ve got to take this gift of 209 point whatever and continue a downward trend. I am very proud of myself right now.
10/09 …..209.6 ….. TMI helped finally. I also ate prepped food which was very good but I became severely hungry last night due to the low calorie options. The snacks were not healthy and not in plan or my numbers would have been better. My car broke down last night also. I think it’s the transmission. In the shop today. This is not good. Pray for me that it will be fixable at a reasonable cost!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/04- 189.2 I ate a salty snack last night after a couple of drinks with friends. Obviously here it is on the scale! Back on track today, target calories all week is 1350, no alcohol and keep up my steps. Estimated cals yesterday : 1588.
10/05- 189.4 hiked 5 miles yesterday in the beautiful weather. I saw that my BF% was down a lot on the scale so a lot of water hanging around still. Hoping for better weigh in tomorrow. Estimated cals yesterday: 1282
10/06- 187.2 now that's more like it. Finally the whoosh. Estimated calories yesterday: 1473 little higher than I wanted, I'm trying to adjust my macros a bit to have more protein.
10/07-186.8 great can it stay now? Estimated cals yesterday ended up going over AGAIN, I even preplanned my day but was hit by a migraine in the afternoon and was comfort eating. (~1675, still well below maintenance, but!)
10/08- 187. 8 answer to above question: no. Calories came in at 1706, I'm struggling a bit with staying on target, not sure why. Maybe I was just feeling deprived a little, and giving a bit more wiggle room to make me feel like I can make it a lifetime not just a diet. Already got my steps in for today, 2.45 miles in the beautiful 70 degree sunshine with my dog.
10/09- 187.0/186.8 my scale couldn't decide. lol I'm going with the lower. total cals yesterday 1638. ladies happy hour tonight so saving my calories for that. Happy Friday y'all !

10/07 145.8 Back from my honeymoon. Did not take a scale. Up about 4 lbs. Did stay active, just ate a lot of rich foods and larger portions. Goal for this round is to see 144.
10/08 144.6 small breakfast, smoothie for lunch and bigger protein dinner felt good yesterday.
10/09 145.0 was craving sugar so bad yesterday. Will get back to my lunch smoothie today that seems to curb it with yummy mango & pineapple & spinach.

10/04- 165.4 Did not expect to up any, did not eat all day yesterday and only got a small salad late last night.
10/05- 166.3 Well, that was a leap.
10/06- 165.5 Ok, headed back down. Need to keep that up.
10/07- 165.9 Well damn!
10/08- 166.5 Alright, that's about enough of that. I have to figure this out, maybe salt!

GW for this round: 148
Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 127 (2): 153.2 to 150.4 (-2.8 lbs)
10/04 - 150.4 - Continuing to hold steady from the end of the last round. Feeling great - I chopped my hair off last night and I don’t think I did that bad of a job! Got out for a run this morning and will be meal prepping this afternoon.
10/05 - 151.0 - The only reason I can think of for this gain is water weight - so hopefully I’ve got a whoosh coming in my future! I ran about 2 miles yesterday, then did a 3+ mile family hike (pushing 70+ lbs of kids and stroller), so I know I came in under calories since I didn’t eat differently from usual. I did my regular workout this morning and will track carefully this week.
10/06 - 150.4 - And back down again. Pretty tired this morning- feeling very heavy and low on energy. I took the kids out to a nearby garden this morning and let them run and play - really hoping that means a good nap for the toddler and an easier afternoon.
10/07 - 150.0 - Oooo, so close! I haven’t seen below 150 since my almost 5 year old was born. (Of course, by saying this I’ve guaranteed it will go back up tomorrow, right?) Tweaked something in my back yesterday which made sleep hard, but feeling better this morning.
10/08 - 149.6 - *happy dance* I can do this! I am doing it, and I will keep doing it! Yay!
10/09 - 149.4 - Very happy that the scale stayed under 150. We had takeout burgers and fries for dinner last night, and while I tried to keep mine reasonably healthy (switched the burger to a grilled chicken breast, only ate half and gave myself a fixed portion of fries) I was expecting the sodium to push the scale number up. Didn’t do as much Ring Fit this morning since I got up a little late, but we’ve been out for a long walk and will spend most of today outside given the nice cool weather and clean air!

🏃 10/04: 160.0 This is a wonderful start. It means the excessive amount of sushi I had last night did no harm. However, I am making it a personal daily goal to play a Switch fitness game today. It will probably be Ring Fit Adventure.
🏃 10/05: 161.0 I did manage to play Ring Fit Adventure, but dinner threw me off yesterday. My husband wanted Cracker Barrel, and I noticed they had a new pot roast soup, which probably would have been perfect. However, Doordash called and said they didn't have it, so I just told them I wanted fried shrimp. I guess that was the mistake because I gained despite it falling within my calories. Lmao. It was really delicious, though, so I guess it was worth one day of going in the wrong direction. Today will be better.
🏃 10/06: 161
🏃 10/07: 160.6 I'm not even worried about the scale not moving much today because I have a different sort of victory. I can squeeze into my largest jeans that I own for the first time two years! Yesterday, I had charro beans and fajita for lunch and chicken and green beans for dinner. I hope to eat similarly today. We shall see if I can do some Switch fitness today, too. I am also feeling really good!
🏃 10/08: 158.8 This is fantastic to see right after Ring Fit Adventure knocked me out yesterday. It was such a good workout that I couldn't move for a while! The boss battles get tougher as you go along.
🏃 10/09: 159.2 This was definitely from way too much sodium, so I'm not letting it bother me. I am on a good track now. This will be a great weekend!

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.

Hello all!
57 years old, 5' 9" Starting weight: 275.6 lbs (20200101). First Goal: 190 - where I was when I quit smoking 4 years ago. Second Goal: 170 lbs. To see how that weight feels and how hard it is to maintain. I plan to gradually add calories to my food intake as I go from 190 to 170 to help transition to maintenance.
Round 128 starting weight: 192.4 lbs (started late - on 10/08)
Because I started late, had a planned pizza dinner on Thursday, and Thanksgiving on Monday - my goal for this challenge is modest: I'm hoping to wake up on October 13 an acceptable 192 pounds.
Day/Weight/Comment:
10/08 - 192.4 - 1530 calories.
Fingers crossed! Today's pizza dinner is the first all out throw away the rules book day since the middle of the July... Pizza was great. Walked 17 km - didn't intend to walk that much, but helps with the pizza eating! Woke up in the middle of the night fretting about a shoulder injury-but some cheese and crackers and a tea with whiskey helped me get back to sleep! And no, I didn't log that 3 in the morning snack - I'm only admitting to it here.
10/09 - 192.6 - 1149 calories.
Pleasantly surprised at this tiny weight increase! Today was pretty good on the food front - under my new goal of 1300 calories (just couldn't maintain 1200 / day anymore). Walked just over 10km. Hope that tomorrow morning the scale smiles at me.

70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle. Getting back to it slowly.

GW 199
CW 234.8
My goal for this round is to lose 2.8lbs by the end of the round. Good luck to all.
10/4. I weighed in at 232.4, so i've made a big jump to hitting my goal. Walked 24k steps today and im doing great on food, and tracking. Now, I'm gonna do a bit of weight lifting and watch some sports. Have a great night, and good luck all.
10/5 Another great day. I weighed in at 231.7, so i made it! I am no longer obese, just overweight. I ate well, logged everything, and got 25k steps in. I even got into a Large tee shirt for the first time in years. The only downside us, i'm quarantined until my covid test gets back in 48-72 hrs. I dont have symptoms, so i get 2-3 days of more alone time. Tomorrow i think i'll make chili. I have some trinadad scorpion peppers that are supposed to be hotter than molten steel, so we will see how that goes. Anyway, good luck all. Have a great night. I have to go do the dishes. MIKE
10/6. Had a great day. 24k steps, just over 1200 calories, and weighed in at 229.7 lbs, so i have already beat my goal with 7 more days to go. Had a 3300 calorie deficit today, so tomorrow is shaping up well. Have a wonderful night all, amd lets see what tomorrow brings. MIKE.
10/7 i had another very good day, and weighed in at 228.4 lbs. I ate well, logged everything, got 24k steps, and even had 2 beers. Covid came back negative and im off quarantine. Hope everyone had a great night, and we'll see everyone tomorrow. MIKE
10/8. I had a great workout at the gym today. Elliptical trainer to warm up, 30 minute circuit, then some HIIT woodchoppers to finish strong. 24k steps. Weighed in at 228.4 again, but hsd a big win at that world famous menswear store Walmart, whrn i fit in 34 inch jeans. Bought a large snap button shirt that is s shade tight, so that is my next goal. Ate great, had 3 beers and a great dinner of air fryer fried chicken and steamed vegetables. Ovrtall, i couldnt be happier. Good night all. MIKE
10/9. one more good day on my journey. still stuck at 228.4, but im still also very happy with my progress. i got another 24k steps in. dinner with friends and their kids/grandkids, which meant egg rolls amd spring rolls, along with 3 scotch and sodas. but, i still stayed well below target.
tomorrow will be a challenge. my side hustle is making wine at a local winery. we have been closed due to covid, but tomorrow we will be bottling a chocolate raspberry and a meuller thurgau. im exited to get back in the wine room, but tasting our batches is part of the artistry of it. i'll need to watch i dont go apeshit and drink 1000 calories of wine. anyway, i hope everyone had a great night and wish everyone a wonderful weekend.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 126 (round 58 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need it! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.

Challenge for this round will be the start of our fortnight's holiday 19th onwards, but goal for this round – to lose a pound. Stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference!End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/04 133.8 - no structured walking yesterday due to travelling back home and persistent train ?, hence eating yesterday was at maintenance level. Really hoping this rain stops soon ,?.
10/05 133.2 - 9.55 miles walked yesterday, 774 calories in credit, all macros in green. Feeling refreshed after holiday and ready to push on.
10/06 133.2 – 6.26 miles walked yesterday (struggling to get miles in with the rain!) 28 calories in credit but 15g carbs over.
10/07 133.6 - 11.08 miles walked yesterday, so pleased the rain held off during the morning. 869 calories in credit, all macros in green.
10/08 133.6 – 12.7 miles walked yesterday, 724 calories in credit & all macros in green.
10/09 133.6 – only 3.83 miles walked yesterday, running around following my 2.5 year old DGS around a country park, jumping him over logs, rocks, splashing through puddles – you get the picture!! Hence 427 calories, 107g carbs & 7g fat over. Todays a more easily controlled day, but Friday is pizza night !!!
10/10 133.6 – 9.4 miles walked yesterday, 521 calories in credit & all macros in green.

10/04 221.1 Mom’s scale @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3 miles, tracked food, skinny margaritas.
10/05 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3 miles, tracked food, wine. Good day fishing… caught a 26” redfish!
10/06 DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3 miles, gardened, tracked food, wine.
10/07 222.5 Walked 3 miles in the evening after 5 hr drive home, tracked food, AF. Bye bye higher carbs, cake, fried fish and happy hour alcohol … I’m back home & tackling the number on the scale again.
10/08 220.8 Walked 4 miles, tracked food, AF. Nice to see the drop on my own scale!
10/09 221.1 Walked 3 miles, tracked food, AF. Undecided on the keto fried green tomatoes with coconut flour … I definitely like cornmeal better.
10/10 220.0 Walked 4 miles, bike 15 min, tracked food, wine. Planning ahead menu & exercise before a splurge today … Saturday night celebrating my son’s 30th birthday at Grimaldi’s Pizzeria and then back home for Southern Keto Cookbook’s Keto Cheesecake with Pecan Almond Crust. Hit my 10% loss goal! Nice to see that final zero this morning … now to tackle the teens!6 -
Going for another round. If I lost another 2 lb this round, that would be amazing but will be happy with anything under 146.0 at the end.

Round 128 – starting weight 147.2
10/04 – 146.6 Good morning. Tracking going fine, and I joined three other October challenges overlapping this on. Two are just pushing exercise, while the third is a daily accountability of tracking, < target calories, and over 20 min exercise. Staying under my target calorie number AND burning 200+ calories a day is becoming hard rapidly. I am hungry all the time. Down 1.8 lb in 3 days, and 6.4 lb in just under 3 weeks. I am happy with the loses, but I need sustainable as well. I may have to redefine what is “staying under goal calories”.
10/05 – 147.2 Weight makes more sense for 3 weeks with a total of -5.8. Still hoping to end the challenge between 145.8 and 145.2.
10/06 – 147.4 Another up, exercise and tracking does not predict this, Continue with watchful waiting.
10/07 – 146.6 Full circle, back to the 146.6. At least this time, it is closer to logical. (Note: hoping for 144 for 59th bday on 10/26)
10/08 – 146.4 Proud of myself last night for stopping myself from stress eating during the debate. Need to just leave the TV off
10/09 – 145.8 This was a happy surprise. Though all my numbers were good, I was mentally preparing myself for a gain today given how the rest of my numbers this week had been going.
10/10 – 146.0 The tiny seasaw continues. End of day dinner was heavier than typical, though I kept under my target calories for the day.

Hubby and kids have left town for a few days. I'm planning on catching up on sleep, work and housework.

I'm maintaining trust in the process. Last month I had 10 days of slow increase, then a big drop. Today is day 5.

Whoosh. A bit earlier and less than I expected, but if it doesn't go as high, I can't be surprised that it doesn't go as low. Reuniting with my family tomorrow. It has been a lovely few days by myself.
7/10 124.3kg
Another big drop. This gets me much closer to where I would be without the bumps. Gone on holidays, so no weighing for a few days, but I will keep on checking in.

I'm busy keeping up with the kids. They are always going. I will need a holiday from my holiday at this rate.

Hiked to the beach, then along to an interesting rock called Camel Rock. All up, it took about 90 minutes, but with the kids, there was a lot of stopping and starting. I have blisters now though.

Last day of my holidays. When the cabins booked were at opposite ends of the park (and a hill) getting plenty of steps in has been default.

Goal Weight: 122-125lbs
Day/Weight/Comment:
10/04 138lbs. (No change is better than an increase, right?)
10/05 138.5 (Ah...and there’s in the increase. Sigh. No idea why. I am doing my usual...weighing my vegetables, counting every calorie in my grape tomatoes, have run 3.5 miles every day, walked 15,000 plus steps, drank more than 120oz. water. Sigh. We’ll see tomorrow...)
10/06 139.5 (Dude getting weighed everyday is hard. Yesterday ran 3.75miles, 17,000 steps, 1135 calories, water, morning and evening exercises. And I gained a pound? What was it? Did the banana or apple I ate weigh more than the produce scale at Giant Eagle reflect? Oh well...every day is a new one. Maybe tomorrow will see a drop.)
10/07 138lbs (I didn’t see the drop I wanted, but I didn’t panic either. Just going to keep trying.)
10/08 139.5 (A gain. Yesterday was my usual 3.5 miles run. 1110 calories. 134 oz. of water. Very cherry tomato calories counted. Apple and peach weighed and veggies, too. Strength exercises, everything. I KNOW this happens. And I KNOW it will be okay. But it is still hard.)
10/09 137.5lbs. (Better. But it is still hard.)
10/10 137.5kbs. (The scale is not my friend. I just wish I could feel rewarded by achieving healthy goals...like the running and the eating right, the not bingeing. Instead I let the scale give me a thumbs up or thumbs down...it is hard.)

10/08 144.6 small breakfast, smoothie for lunch and bigger protein dinner felt good yesterday.

GOAL: 209
Oct 7: W 214. DOWNWARD!! Back on track, no w/o, stuck to allowed food choices, did have some wine in the late afternoon. Just about finished my book about weight loss mind techniques. Got some sun too!!.
Oct 8: W 213. Definitely need to continue the water, and review my 'why's' card when I feel like waivering. No w/o today.
Oct 9: W 212, RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED!! I feel good, did a w/o, for some reason I finished all the chocolate I have.
Oct 10: W 213. Looking at my food diary and the results of weight and blood glucose I realise that my body is supremely sensitive to my choices. IT'S JUST A FACT, NOT A JUDGEMENT.

Day, Weight, Comment
10/04 - 143.5 - I gained 1.1 pounds in the last round. Going to work to undo that.
10/05 - 143.1 - Good to see a modest loss
10/06 - 142.1 - Getting closer to September's numbers. When I came back from 2 weeks of holidays and went back to work (stress) I really gained. Glad that it is starting to even out.
10/07 - 141.5 - yay
10/08 - 139.6 - Fun to see that number although it doesn't seem real. We'll see tomorrow.
10/09 - 141.3 - All good with today's number, but really happy to have touched the 130s once. Exciting to think that I can get into that next decade.
10/10 - 142.3 - All over the place with fluctuations, no reason for this gain. I was hoping for a nice low number today before I go into 3 days of (Canadian) Thanksgiving food.
