Day/Weight/Comment
11/13- 163.0 I dont know why!
11/14- 162.8 I am trying to drink 8 glasses of water a day, one would think that would be easy.
11/15- 162.1 Continuing downward trend but I am coming up on my weekend which is hard to stay on track.
11/16- 161.8 I know its hardly into 161 but I was excited to see it. I think all the water is helping.
11/17- 160.8 Hummm, not sure whats going on here. I have been below my cal goals for several days.
11/18- 161.6 I knew it was too good to be true.

@HoopsGuy72

Thanks for the insight. I unfortunately was in a bad biking accident in October and broke my arm- I had surgery on 10/9 because of the severity. While I’m out of the cast (as of Monday!), I have minimal feeling - residual nerve damage- and very poor range of motion. I’m going to PT and working on it but I haven’t figured out a way to do strength training without a right arm (I’m right handed). I did start running but I’m a very new runner and struggle. I’m going 30 mins 3 times a week with the rest of my 7-8 hours being walking until I can build up more cardiovascular endurance. I’ve started adding squats and lunges in my daily routine but don’t have better ideas. I’m very open to suggestions though.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/12 …..207.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/13 …..207.6….. I was horribly and uncontrollably hungry yesterday. My choices weren’t too bad but the quantities were disgusting.

11/14 …..210.0 ….. OMGosh! A friend brought Chinese Food over from out-of-town yesterday. I’m in shock. All low carb/low cal veggies for today and praying for no sugar drop as I compensate.

11/15 …..208.6 ….. Lost some of the bloat. Stuck to mainly healthy as planned yesterday. I will try to do the same today although I am already fighting the hunger from such low cal yesterday. I can do this…… Horrible cold rain today. Better than the usual snow I suppose. Gloomy.

11/16 …..207.2 ….. I continue to work that bloat back down. I have been getting in lots of movement to the point of being sore. I wouldn’t call it exercise. Just hard work. However, every burned calorie counts, right?

11/17 …..209.0 ….. Big time fluid retention. Very little water shedding (or TMI either). Quantities and meal sizes were good. Choices…meh. Today is the last day for restaurants in my state. I will probably have a carry-out meal tonight with my son. Otherwise, I will try to stay mindful.

11/18 …..209.0 ….. I did horrible yesterday due to time constraints. Thank Goodness this wasn’t worse!

11/19 …..208.4 ….. Finally shed a normal amount of water yesterday (#1) so, while this loss may not be fat, it is welcomed.

11/20 …..xxxxx …..

11/21 …..xxxxx …..

11/22 …..xxxxx …..

11/13 197.2 What did I say it happened last challenge. 197 196 195 Day 10 198.6 I should be happy about it but I am frustrated. I will keep my eye on the prize but 192 keeps getting further and further away. For three years before I the weight came on in earnest, I maintained between 188 and 192. I want it back!
11/14 196.8 15000 steps 1886 calories. Pizza at my job yesterday and I ate my salad.
11/15 196.6
11/16 196.2
11/17 195.8 under the weather today. No workout this far. Kids sick.
11/18 194.0 Drank a lot of water yesterday. Attempting to flush out this head cold. Definitely a head cold. Questionable about this number because my health is not at 100%.
11/19 194.6 12562 Steps 1832 calories good day. I am happy with the progress.

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

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.

11/13 117.5 I think all leftovers are gone. I wanted “something” last night but didn’t give in. AF
11/14 116.5
11/15 117.0 Going to friend’s for drinks and dinner later.
11/16 117.5 OMG I ate a huge filet last night, sautéed spinach and garlic and a piece of cream cheese poundcake with berries and whipped cream. Everything was so good!
11/17 116.5 AF last night. Got my flu shot yesterday and my arm hurts and I have a headache. Not sure if h/a is from the shot.
11/18 116.0 This will go up, I wanted Mexican last night and have leftovers. Today is DH’s birthday and along with his leftovers, he’s going to lunch with our friend.
11/19 117.5 Up as predicted. It’s okay, still well under goal

Day/Weight/BF%/comment

11/14: 219.6 (-1.0)/28.8 (-0.3). I am going to do some strength training today, even if it means using a crappy machine, body weight exercises, and some rubber bands. It's time. Being here is great, but exercise is the other main ingredient in my overall health and fitness. Time to step it up.

11/15: 219.2 (-0.4)/28.8 (0.0). I actually exercised yesterday. I did not do a ton of stuff, but I hit most body parts, and I put a decent effort in. I'm definitely feeling it this morning. Knowing myself and my body, I'm going to shoot for twice per week to start; depending on how long this feeling lasts, I might even wait until Friday or so to allow myself to recover (after such a long layoff).

11/16: 219.8 (+0.6)/28.9 (+0.1). I think this is more due to weighing in earlier during the work week than I do on the weekend. I'm not feeling super-sore today; I may try exercising again today.

11/17: 218.4 (-1.4)/28.6 (-0.3). This is a nice drop. I've been REALLY good with my diet. Last night I was pretty sore from working out recently, but I MIGHT try to exercise again tonight. No matter what, I'll get some exercise in either tonight or tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well (or at least okay).

11/18: 218.2 (-0.2)/28.5 (-0.1). I was exhausted yesterday, and I'm not completely sure why. Yes, there's still stress at work. COVID-19 still sucks. But I basically napped for 3-4 hours after dinner, stayed up for an hour or so, then went to bed (and slept through the night). Weird. I have a little headache this morning, and I have a LOT of work to do. Food was easy yesterday. On-plan all day, and I continue to cut down on "unnecessary" snacking.

11/19: 218.6 (+0.4)/28.6 (+0.1). I'm going to assume that this is normal fluctuation instead of getting angry at the scale today. It happens. Tonight is my 9th wedding anniversary, and I'll be keeping my celebration VERY keto-friendly (steak and veggies). I'm really glad tonight is #9, because my wife would be REALLY pissed if #10 got blown off in the middle of COVID-19...

I’ve started adding squats and lunges in my daily routine but don’t have better ideas. I’m very open to suggestions though.

@Zondeare

Ugh! I hope I didn't come across as judgmental in my previous post to you (I promise it was not my intent)! I had no idea that you broke your arm so badly!

#1: I HATE running. I have a reconstructed knee (22 years ago) that causes me problems regularly. That being said, as long as you gradually adjust things, you can always increase what you're doing. If nothing else, you can jog until you get tired (but not overwhelmed), and then walk until you "recover." Don't have any goals attached to what you're doing, just do what you can. You'll likely notice that, over time, you'll be jogging/running more frequently and for greater duration than you were previously. Your progress might feel slow, but the more you do, the better you'll get at it.

#2: Regarding weightlifting, it's pretty clear that most upper-body stuff is not going to work great for you right now. The good news? Squats and lunges (particularly squats) are FANTASTIC exercises that burn a lot of calories and build up your legs and core. More muscle = more calories expended.

If I had any overall suggestion, it would be to keep up what you're doing, but to really focus on being kind/patient with yourself, particularly with what you've been through. Using the old "running" analogy, this health/fitness thing works out a lot better when we think of it as a marathon instead of a sprint.

GW for this round: 138

Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 127 (2): 153.2 to 150.4 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 128 (3): 150.4 to 148.0 (-2.4 lbs)

Round 130 (5): 146.0 to 144.4 (-1.6 lbs)
Round 131 (6): 144.4 to 139.6 (-4.8 lbs)

Goals for this round:
- Lose 1.5 lbs
- Run/walk my evening walk with the dog to work up to a 5K by Thanksgiving
- Start a body weight strength training program 3x a week

11/13 - 140.2 - Slight increase from the end of last round, but not surprising given my recent drops. Feeling very tired today too, so I cut my morning workout down.

Turkey Trot 5K - I tried to run the 1.6 mile route last night, but the doggie didn’t want to come with me! She was more interested in sniffing and I had to cajole her the whole way. This might require a new plan. 😂

11/14 - 140.4 - One of the things I love about this group (on top of the awesome support and accountability) is having all these notes for reference. I had a super hungry day yesterday - ate all my planned calories, within my usual macros and was still so hungry. So I looked back at my notes from previous rounds - and the same thing happened almost exactly a month ago right before my TOM. That let me relax about it, and warned me that my weight probably was going to hold today and go up for the next few days. But it’s just hormones/water retention and it will be back down again soon.

Turkey Trot 5K - 1.5 mile walk last night. Will try to do a 1.5 mile walk with the dog tonight, then drop her off and run the route a second time.

11/15 - 140.8 - The scale is what it is this morning. Was high on calories yesterday (1,800 instead of 1,600) - just kept snacking - but I did get two good workouts in so I feel less guilty about it. Thought I’d take it easy today, but then DH proposed taking the kids on a hike - so I got in a 3 mile hike (which involved either pushing a 30 lb toddler in a stroller, controlling a 50+ lb dog who did NOT want to heel, or carrying said 30 lb toddler when he refused to go back in the stroller after he got the taste of freedom.) So much for a rest day!

Turkey Trot 5K - Did 2.57 miles last night - walked the first 1.57 with the dog, then ran another mile. Just wasn’t quite feeling up to doing the full 1.57 running, but I’ll get there.

11/16 - 141.4 - Ok, the scale can go back down any time now. 😣 Even knowing the “why” doesn’t make it easy to see that number in the morning. Not feeling great today so I only did about 45 minutes of cardio this morning. Will have to try and do the strength exercises throughout the day.



- Walked 1.57 miles yesterday.

11/17 - 140.6 - Ok, right direction! Let’s just keep that up. Focusing now on my daughter’s birthday on Friday - she’s been so excited about turning 5 and I want to do everything I can to make it special even without her friends coming over for a party.

11/18 - 140.2 - Back to where I started this round, at least. I’m still sticking to my calories and workouts, so I’m optimistic that the number will continue to go down from here. I may not make my goal this round, but I’m not giving up.

Turkey Trot 5K - Walked/jogged 2 miles last night.

11/19 - 139.4 - Yay, progress! Happy to be down from last round.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13-123.4 When I first lost weight last year, these 10 day challenges were the source of my success. I am committing to weigh everyday and complete my food diary daily. Starting on the weekend will be challenging, compounded if restrictions start up again. Planning pickleball indoors today, too cold for outside. Bad start missing my body pump class this morning, will try to do this afternoon. Good Luck everyone, and stay healthy.
11/14- 125.4- Knew this would happen Went out to lunch with my wonderful friends and pickleball buddies, had the most delicious salad: Wilted Kale with roasted butternut squash, cashews, lemon Tahini dressing. Totally awesome! Had to guess the calorie, and Ham sure was full of sodium. Usually takes me several days to equalize. Oh I forgot a Bloody Mary too! I knew too expect this, but still hate going backwards. Bad migraine this morning waiting for medicine to kick in then hope to do Body Pump and stretching and some kind of Trot.
11/15- 125.4 I know, I know, I know it will take 3-4 days to equalize my bloat from lunch Friday but I does play with your mind. Hubby wanted to grab takeout last night, but I decided against it because did not want to bloat even more. Thanks to the Turkey Trot Challenge I did do a over 4 mile walk- we lost our dog in September who inspired me to walk everyday, so miss her but felt great to be outside. Ate above my calories yesterday, wanted to grab a leftover halloween can and my husband and daughter had raided supply and left me with only 10000 mini bars yuck- still ate 6- So should be relieved I stayed the same.
11/16
11/17 125.2- Thrown off course Sunday and Monday- My father-in- passed away. Thanks goodness peacefully at home He did not have Covid but because of Covid we can not travel to the funeral.
11/18-124.8 Thank you for your prayers and condolences.

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.

The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

I have just not been focused enough over the last month. Weight up and down and no net loss. This round will be better.

OSW 88KG
RSW 63.35 kg
Target this round to lose anything

11/13 62.75kg which is much better than the random gains at the end of last round. Now to manage the weekend.
11/14 61.95kg it looks like the loss has finally caught up with me! Mindful, mindful, mindful. Its only 2 days in the weekend and I used to lose most at weekends.
11/15 62.35kg no problem. I know where is came from!
11/16 63.75kg hoping a temporary salty blip. Better than last Monday which is okay.
11/17 63.1kg still better than last week. Gym done and aerobics later... Hope that doesn't cause crazy weight gain like last week.
11/18 62.25kg. Everything seems to be coming together. Aerobics was crazy last night but I did it and was back in the gym at 5am.
11/19 62.55kg. Not worried as I ate a lot late! Gym done and a core fitness class planned for later.

11/20 62.55kg slightly down on last Friday. Any loss is good! With all my ups and downs in going to look at the average weight over each 10 days and see how that is doing.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/13 181.0 I was afraid the Prednisone might have negated the good I did yesterday. So far it hasn't. Ate well on plan yesterday. I'm finding the more of just natural "whole foods" are a part of my day, the better off I am.
11/14 180.0 The extra movement from training for the Turkey Trot is really helping move me in the right direction and also to change my mindset. Thank you to those of you who are participating with me. I needed some camaraderie in this. Food choices were on point yesterday. Now to hold that trend for the weekend.
11/15 180.4 This must be sore muscles from yesterday’s push to 5K because I ate well within range. Probably didn’t drink enough water after though, so that could play in too. I was really hoping it would be into the 170s, but maybe tomorrow. Need to meal plan today and get to the grocery store and also get in another walk. I can’t tell you how much better I’m feeling now that I am active every day again. I think I’m working through (and past) some of the 2020 depression that made me into a couch potato.
11/16 180.8 I really think this must be the Prednisone I’m on. Food and exercise has been great. Might try to really push the water today and see if that has any effect (or will it just make the Prednisone make me hold even more water?) Who knows? Only 2 more days on this steroid pack, so hopefully the effects will get on out of here soon.
11/17 179.4 Yay! Finally back in the right direction. I’m pretty proud that I didn’t give up when the trend was going the right direction. I knew it was just my body being weird, either on its own or with the Prednisone. I kept doing what I know works, and it finally did! Now, can I stay here and end the round in the 170s? Time will tell.
11/18 178.8 Feels good to be making progress again. I’m still on the Prednisone for one more day, so I’ll call this a win! Holiday cooking is beginning though. I really want to limit my intake and control the damage. Feels so good to be making positive progress again after the craziness of 2020. I do NOT want to go back to old habits!
11/19 179.2 That’s ok. I think this is a normal blip. They happen for me pretty regularly. Yesterday was a pretty good day. I ate a little extra ham and swiss cheese when pulling Skinnytaste Chicken Cordon Bleu together for dinner, but I did extra exercise last night in hopes of working off that extra few calories. Ended up still in a decent deficit.
11/20 178.8 Better. And that’s after eating dinner at hubby’s favorite restaurant last night. I have figured out a meal there that doesn’t mess with my weight loss plans. Even their salads are high in calorie, so salmon tacos with a plain baked potato seems to do the trick for me. I just have them hold the creamy chipotle sauce and it seems to be just fine.

11/13 Got in two walks at just normal pace. I had one knee which was really bothering me, so I didn't push the pace.
11/14 Did 1.74 mi in 30:28 but I had the dog with me. She slows me down. Then got on my exercise bike last night before bed for 7.56 miles in 32:24.Hoping to look for a 5K path at a park this morning. Will be pushing the stroller, but I can still measure. I know how I can do it in my neighborhood, but it would be fun to go elsewhere for the real deal.
11/15 Did my first 5K in a while yesterday. (Sorry the pic I posted last night was so HUGE. Won't be doing that again.)
Figured out a nice route by the lake and really pushed it. My time was 51:22 with an average pace of 16:33, so I’m really pretty pleased with that. I was alone, so I was able to really get into it and it felt fantastic!
11/16 Got in 3.2 miles yesterday but wasn't worried about pace. Had Hubby and the Pup with me for most of if. Another beautiful fall morning here in Tennessee.
11/17 Did a fast-ish (but with a stroller) walk yesterday of 2.75 miles. It’s amazing how heavy a baby in a stroller can feel going up hills!
11/18 Only did a 1.2 mile walk at work yesterday. Probably needed a mild day though, as my knee was a bit sore.
11/19 Did a 1.52 mile walk at work, this time in high heel boots. Do I get double credit for that? Forgot my comfy shoes to change into. No time after work for walking, but got on the exercise bike late for 36 minutes. Sure can work up a sweat on that thing! I think I’m going to ask for a rowing machine for Christmas. I used to LOVE to row at the gym.
11/20 Did a 1.21 mile walk yesterday but then never got in another one. Meant to—it just didn’t happen. Can’t believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away now!

Total toward 100 mile goal by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 14.72
