Hi all, this is my second round, hoping to lose lots of weight, its a great help! 😀

SW: 174 pounds
Day/Weight/Comment
11/18/ 174/ long day, had to do alot of driving didn't have time to eat till late, had a small cottage pie 300cals and a small pancake, lots of tea and coffee. Didn't have time to take supplements.
11/19 / 173/ lost a pound, so happy 😊 taking adios tablets today, legs really hurt from youtube vid exercise two days ago, going to have hot bath, had to drive for over an hour today. I really feel I can keep this diet going, already lost 9 pounds, first benchmark of a stone lost is just five pounds away. I can do it this week! Motivation stays strong.
11/20/ 174/ don't understand why it went up, but its not going to just drop off over night, will try not to worry and keep going, only thing with any calories or carbs I ate today was a sausage roll. Cut down on my milky drinks, no more limitless cups of tea and coffee. Got this far in the day without hunger pangs making me snack, so doing well.
11/21/ 172/ down two pounds from round start, up early doesn't help snacking, felt my blood sugars where slightly low so had a biscuit and a proper dinner, was visiting parents so couldn't resist a home cooked meal made by mum. Still kept to my limit, drove 1 hr today so couldn't be bothered to excersise tonight, nothing planned for supper, so will have lots of camomile/ green/ spiced tea and look forward to weigh in tomorrow.
11/22/ 172/ just realised my scales do a point, I've been working it out from stones in my head, dafty! 😅 Will have decimals tomorrow. Going in right direction anyway, plan on doing 15 minutes on exersise bike today, and ate a banana for breakfast, pie and potatoes planned for dinner, not much protein, so I'll have extra chicken, and a few slices of ham. Bring on tomorrow's weigh in everyone, let's do this! No pain no gain, I've got to exercise more. Got pedometer but needs battery, so that to sort out, soon be counting steps.

Day/Weight/Comment
11-18 - 180.2, Ave 180.2
Yesterday was a good, on-track day, so this is just time lag from higher calorie days last round. It’s a bright, chilly morning here so I’m bundling up and heading out for a walk with the puppy and a few errands. Then we’ll see what the rest of the day brings! Enjoy!
11-19 - 180.2, Ave 180.2
I don’t think I’ve ever had two days in a row with weight & average identical. Weird! My calories are back down, so I should start to see some loss soon.
11-20 - 179.6, Ave 180.1
Ok, moving in the right direction again. It’s a gloomy, chilly day here, but I’m headed out with the pup in a few minutes. I’ve decided to repaint my office and bought the paint yesterday, so hope to start at least the prep work today—the worst part! Have a great Saturday!
11-21 - 180.4, Ave 180.1
Oh, come on. My calories have been lower the past two days, no snacks yesterday. Time lad and salt? Whatever. Just sticking’ to the plan. Enjoy your day!
11-22 - 179, Ave 179.8
That’s better. Now to keep it below 180! Yesterday I got one wall of my office painted, the hardest one, with two doors. I love the color—a medium-dark green I find very warm and comforting. I have to paint one wall at a time because of moving things around, so it’s fairly disruptive, but it will be worth it. Ok, off for a walk with the pup, then paint a while, then doggy school this evening. Have a good one!

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.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.
Goals
- check in at least every other day

11/18 160.9 {Steps 15,250} ~ life’s a little crazy again with Parker the Pug plus with Thanksgiving and Christmas approaching. Meditation and yoga has been helping me tremendously.
11/19 160.6 {Steps 15,717} ~ a good all around day! Thank goodness since my daughter and my grandchildren are coming for Thanksgiving dinner, I’ll have control over our menu, 👍🏻👍🏻
11/20 161.1 {Steps 15,703} ~ This morning started out interesting, waking up at 5am, 😢😢. On the bright side was able to get a couple nice walks in with Pete and Parker.
11/21 160.5 {Steps 20,548} ~ We had lunch plus did some Christmas shopping, a nice relaxing day. The hike in the scale probably has to do with lunch, no worries though.

Day/Weight/Comment
11-18 - 180.2, Ave 180.2
Yesterday was a good, on-track day, so this is just time lag from higher calorie days last round. It’s a bright, chilly morning here so I’m bundling up and heading out for a walk with the puppy and a few errands. Then we’ll see what the rest of the day brings! Enjoy!
11-19 - 180.2, Ave 180.2
I don’t think I’ve ever had two days in a row with weight & average identical. Weird! My calories are back down, so I should start to see some loss soon.
11-20 - 179.6, Ave 180.1
Ok, moving in the right direction again. It’s a gloomy, chilly day here, but I’m headed out with the pup in a few minutes. I’ve decided to repaint my office and bought the paint yesterday, so hope to start at least the prep work today—the worst part! Have a great Saturday!
11-21 - 180.4, Ave 180.1
Oh, come on. My calories have been lower the past two days, no snacks yesterday. Time lad and salt? Whatever. Just sticking’ to the plan. Enjoy your day!
11-22 - 179, Ave 179.8
That’s better. Now to keep it below 180! Yesterday I got one wall of my office painted, the hardest one, with two doors. I love the color—a medium-dark green I find very warm and comforting. I have to paint one wall at a time because of moving things around, so it’s fairly disruptive, but it will be worth it. Ok, off for a walk with the pup, then paint a while, then doggy school this evening. Have a good one!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/17 …..189.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/18 …..190.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.7) I’m a hot mess. Doctor called yesterday in regards to my blood work from last week’s PCP appointment. , Such low sodium that she is prescribing some type of medication for it (that explains the foot cramps), A1C 11.8, more diabetic medication being prescribed to go with what I am already taking, thyroid numbers bad again and medication will have to be increased. Atorvastatin is now going to be prescribed for my LDL cholesterol. I am thankful that some weight loss (original weight was 253) has helped me, especially in regards to my cancer remission. However, I have not done enough. And going backwards is causing my health improvements to do the same. What a horrible time for this to happen with all the upcoming holidays in the next (nearly) two months! But it’s now or never. I’ll take all those new pills but they will be bitter pills to swallow. I’ve got to start getting even more serious TODAY. I know what is needed.
11/19 …..190.8 ….. Trend weight 189.8) Unexpected travel yesterday yielded lots of sitting, only 5000+ steps and a restaurant meal. I’m glad I’m only up 0.2 but will it show up in the coming days? Time will tell……
11/20 …..190.2 ….. (Trend weight 189.8) I rolled up my sleeves and am ready to put in the work. A nice drop this morning.
11/21 …..187.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.5) Over 2.5 pounds down overnight which was a shock. I did expect a drop because TMI finally cooperated though leaving me cramped. I know I am probably dehydrated after such an eventful night so when I push water today it may lead to an uptick. I feel that if I have a good day today, tomorrow will show my true numbers. Meals were on point but snacks….notsomuch! I’ll work harder on the snack part today. I have healthy ones here, I just need to eat them and forget about the stuff that my daughter and DGS have here!
11/22 …..188.4 ….. Trend weight 189.4) I feel this is my true weight as I think I was a bit dehydrated yesterday after such a big overnight drop. Meals were good yesterday, snacks could have been better again. Exercise level was pretty low. I am glad to see that my trends have began to go down again for the past couple of days so I want to keep up that momentum. I’ve got to push myself to log all my food daily. It really does make a difference! I added a pinch of Himalayan Pink Salt to my night time routine to stop the cramping in my feet until my low sodium meds arrive.
11/23 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
11/24 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
11/25 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

Starting Weight: 144.0 lbs (11/17)
Round Goal: 142.0 lbs, with the American Thanksgiving holiday taunting me next week
UGW: 135.0 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
11/18: 143.6
11/19: 143.0. I have just very slightly entered the "normal" BMI range (yay!). For many years, I have yo-yo'd up and down in the overweight range, towards the lower part of that range for a decade or so. I'm glad I've made it and I wish I knew why, this time, I have lost the weight. Certainly, mfp makes it easy to count calories (compared to long ago), but I have been on this site since 2013, so mfp's ease of counting calories is not the reason (although an amazing tool!). Onward to a few more pounds lower!
11/20: 142.9. Not too much excitement around my house right now, just getting the house cleaned for the Thanksgiving celebration next week.

Thank you @quiltingjaine - so ready for another round!
May 10, 2021:183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)
Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!
Playing Catchup:

11/22 162.6 - Wow, the days flew by and I'm just now posting for this round. I had no idea it had been 5 days already. Ended last round at 162.4. I'm trying really hard not to sabotage myself just because I know Thanksgiving is Thursday and eat from now to next Monday. What I've decided is I'm going to try to be around this weight next Monday - give or take a pound. I'm not going to be upset if I don't lose during this week. I need to catch up on everyone's posts. I hope everyone is doing okay.

Round 169 goals: Pelo 2-3x/week; strength training 2-3x/week; 10,000 steps/day; <90 net carbs/day; release as much weight as I can!
CW: 198.2
11/18: 199.8 Not surprised by this. The monthly hormonal flux is in full effect. I also spent 2.5 hours in the car last night driving to pick up my husband at the airport. We got home after midnight and therefore I got a little less sleep than usual. This round may be a bust round again, but if I can hang right around this weight throughout, I’ll be happy. 58 net carbs yesterday and step goal nearly hit. On to today.
11/19: 200.0 I had a stressful day yesterday, so I’m surprised it wasn’t more. Surprisingly, this uptick this month isn’t bothering me yet. Usually I find it annoying and aggravating, but right now I’m totally fine with it… give me a few days! 😂 I hit my step goal, 42 net carbs, but ran out of hours in the day for the Pelo and strength. I WILL get both done today though! I get so cranky now when I don’t get my scheduled Pelo ride in!
11/20: 199.2 33 net carbs yesterday, step goal achieved, and Pelo ride done.
11/21: 199.8 I had a slice of my son’s birthday cake yesterday, which was extra sugar and flour I’m not used to. That’s life! 69 net carbs and step goal achieved though! On to the new week!
11/22: 199.8 Holding steady, and I’m okay with that. Yesterday was a strange day. O was moody. Lol I didn’t quite hit my step goal. 70 net carbs though, so at least there’s that.

11/19 - 192.4 / Had a tofu bowl meal my husband wouldn't have liked before he got home from business last night and did a whole wide range of exercise. A good day. Eating at maintenance today for my mom's birthday celebration.
11/20 - 194.2 / Ate just under maintenance for my mom's birthday yesterday. Did my Peloton FTP test as well. 194.4 / Yesterday was a day of a bit of everything - walking, biking, strength, yoga, plus some car rides, some lazy time. Hiking today.
11/21 - 193.8 / Husband and I did a hike that was just over 10K in the deep snow yesterday. A great workout. We followed it with a nice dinner out but choices remained within calorie limit.

@deepwoodslady Aww, thanks, Donna! I’m afraid it’s going to drag on all week—had to run errands today, so no painting, doggy school tonight & tomorrow morning, Wed. a puppy play date with a friend’s Golden Retriever, Thurs TG at a friend’s house, Fri vet appointment, all of which naturally cut into the day…. But it will get done, and I’ll post at least one pic!6 -
Hello! I’m new to the forums. I am a 29 year old female, 5’7. I originally lost weight in 2015 (~190 > ~145) with calorie tracking and experimenting with different types of exercise. I eventually settled into a strength training routine and have been in maintenance mode for several years. I am lifting stronger than ever… but I’ve been ignoring the cardio sections of my workout programming, have let my diet get lax (I’m an ICU nurse and donuts, donuts everywhere as everyone’s idea as a morale boost in COVID era), and noticed my clothes were starting to feel a bit snug… so, I started tracking again about 1 month ago with a starting weight of 156.6lb
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day (I switched to a primarily vegetarian diet a few years ago while I wasn’t tracking food and have had to make a conscious effort to get my protein intake up over the past month), avoid added sugars, add 20-30 minutes of HIIT or rowing on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days)

11/22 150.0 Scale hasn’t moved much over the past few days. I’m coming off working 3 long, stressful days. I got my Covid booster shot this morning, but managed to get my meal plan for the week, grocery shopping, a 3 mile walk with the dog, 20 minutes of HIIT, and a hefty pull day in before I started to feel icky from the shot. Dinner was spicy roasted chickpeas and carrots with farro and baked tofu. Daily protein: 136g

Round 169 (Nov 18-27, 2021)
11/18: 56.3 kg
11/19: 56.6 kg
11/20: 56.2 kg - glad this is going down. I think my activity has been low lately, but today I'm planning to squeeze in a walk. It's getting colder these days in Canada, which is a great motivation for me to speed walk and get my heart rate up! Haven't been eating well though, lots of carbs lately (eg noodles, rice).

Round 169 (101st for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
I am pleased that I got back on track last round. There is only 37 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 5 pounds for then, that is only 5.5 weeks, a pound a week or 1.4 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and give it a go. Feeling already better about the dress I want to wear for the start of December for Peaky Blinders dance night. I need to remain binge free, but at the end of the day – any loss will be a win!
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic, cases are continuing to rise: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/18 134.4 – a nice drop to start the round. 11.03 miles walked yesterday, an hours yoga and an hours dance class, good food choices, all calories and macros well within limits.
11/19 135 – 9.72 miles walked yesterday, good food choices, calories well under, carbs 8 over.
11/20 134.2 – 12.54 miles yesterday, 2 hours dancing session, only sat out around 3 records, it was a really good workout; had to have a shower when I got home !! Calories in credit, but carb & fat 34 & 9 over respectively.
11/21 134.2 – 14.6 miles walked yesterday, all calories & macros well in limit.
11/22 134.6 - 6.46 miles walked yesterday, hence 242 calories & 67 carbs over, but no binge.
11/23 134.6 – 10.06 miles walked yesterday, all calories & macros well in credit. It never ceases me to amaze me how I can put on 2-3 pounds by over eating for 2 days, but eat well under calories for more than those days and the scale barely moves! There is no justice in this !! And that I think is what makes so many people disheartened, but keep the faith and keep going!!

**************************************
11/18 143.6 (trend 145.9) Big ol' drop overnight of 2.6lbs, this is totally out of character for me and I'm hoping it doesn't mean my scale needs replacing! I barely ate yesterday as I was still struggling with my digestion and wanted to give my system a break, seems to have worked nicely 😁 Also I realised that I did actually lose last round, I thought I had stayed the same but really I just can't count and had miscalculated my numbers so 0.4lbs lost last round, yay!
11/19 143.8 (trend 145.6) A little bounce back up but I'm still chuffed to bits with my progress after weeks of stagnation. Had an inactive day yesterday, I needed the rest. Feeling more energetic today so better make the most of it. Finished painting the kitchen finally after 4 coats on walls and ceiling so time to tidy up and move on to leveling the floor.
11/20 142.8 (trend 145.3) I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at the scale this morning and saw that 2.8... Holy moley!! So that puts me at bmi 24.9, I'm at a healthy weight! It's taken 140 days to lose 38lbs and go from class 1 obese to normal weight, so so excited! I am gonna have to give myself a reality check as my trend weight still needs to catch up and I'm bound to fluctuate back up a bit but wahey! Need to start planning what my next mini goal will be...
11/21 142.4 (trend 144.9) Still going down, lovely! I've been really active the last few days, down on hands and knees, trying to remove hardboard that's been glued and tacked down onto my floorboards, for 9 hours each day. I can really feel it in my muscles so I was expecting some water gain but nothing so far. I've got so much more energy than I did about 6 months ago, I was so tired all the time and my joints hurt. I'm much more flexible too, it just makes everything easier!
Hubby has been away for the last few days so I've had a lot more control over what I eat and drink, and less temptation!
11/22 141.8 (trend 144.4) No bounce back yet, fingers crossed it'll hold. Hubby came back yesterday and wanted us to go to the pub but I didn't want the temptation of a nice cool (carb and calorie laden) beer so we stayed home. Really trying break the drinking cycle at the moment, doing well. Can I go sober until Christmas? Maybe. He ordered a domino's pizza but I didn't have any, phew! Knowing what happened last time with the cramps, constipation and water retention makes it much easier to abstain.
11/23 141.4 (trend 144.0) I really don't understand how I'm still losing each day after such a long slow losing spell of about 2 months.. don't want to say too much in case I jinx it. Been alcohol free for 5 days and getting really good sleep so maybe it's that.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/18 209.2 Walked 3 + .6 + 1.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Results from Grimaldi’s pizza for lunch and then Los Tios Mexican dinner.
11/19 209.6 Walked 1.3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Definitely not controlling the intake nor measuring it. Sigh …
11/20 209.1 Walked 3.3 + 3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 38th Anniversary dinner with DH at Ouisie’s Table, 2 glasses wine.
11/21 208.5 Walked.6 + 3 miles, 1860 cal, 58 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Meals were pretty good but I got into the snacks in the afternoon. Steak night and my sister joined us which leads to more wine.
11/22 207.0 Walked 3.6 miles, 2042 cal, 69 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Made this yummy Olive Garden like soup recipe Zuppa Toscana Soup but with cauliflower instead of potatoes. I use frozen cauliflower flowerets and spinach (draining them before adding to the pot). https://www.shugarysweets.com/low-carb-keto-zuppa-toscana-soup-recipe/
11/23 207.5 Walked 3.6 + 1.4 miles, 1728 cal, 69 net carbs, AF. 2nd Shingrix vaccine (Shingles) and Tdap vaccine (Whopping Cough). Whooping Cough vaccine is recommended at least 2 weeks before being around a newborn and of course this new grandma is going to heed the advice! So 2021 we got 7 vaccines: 3x COVID, 2x Shingles, Flu, Tdap … I call this fully vaccinated 😂

Wowsa! I try to read every post and all of you rock! While there are always bumps in the road here and there, I am so inspired by those who have been here for months, never giving up even when things get a bit tough. And I'm celebrating for all of you as you lose a little or a lot. With the holidays coming up, the focus here is amazing and really helps me stay on track. Thank you all!!

11/18 211.0 (-.8) Down 53 pounds! Yesterday was a busy day, but I made it a point to stay below my calorie plan. I didn’t quite get enough water, so I’ll be working on that today. I’m meeting a friend for lunch, so the scale will be up a bit over the next few days. Really hoping to be under 210 by the end of the round.
11/19 211.8 (0) Lunch with my friend was wonderful yesterday. It’s a crazy busy day today, but I will fit swimming in between meetings and errands.
11/20 212 (+.2) I had a really good day yesterday, but am not surprised by the slight bump. This is still from my indulgence meal on Thursday. Things should start dropping again tomorrow if I stay on track.
11/21 211.2 (-.6) Hiking today. My sister flies into town tomorrow and I’ll have company for the next two weeks. I want to enjoy spending time with her and my family, but still keep exercising and eating right most of the time. We are going to have fun.
11/22 210.6 (-1.2) This feels really good. My sister and I hiked over four miles yesterday with the dogs. It was chilly, but beautiful. My sisters planned a day at the pool tomorrow so I could still swim laps. They’ll be doing the lazy river section where they can walk against the current, while I swim. It’s so thoughtful and will be good for all of us. Today is busy with no organizes exercise. We’ll be doing our final grocery shopping for Thanksgiving. Our dinner will include art. The dining room table is always covered with art supplies so we can sculpt with air dry clay and paint before and after we eat. It’s become a fun family tradition.
How fun! I would love that!6 -

11/23 - 153.4 - Sodium bump from homemade shrimp and steak fried rice with egg rolls. I didn't get overly full like I usually do at dinner which was progress. Water at 90oz. Not much movement. I've been a part of this group, Nerd Fitness Academy, for years. I haven't used it because I hated using their web-based system (good system, but hated that I had to have access to my computer to do anything). Well, yesterday I found out they have an app! WITH REMINDERS. Whoot! So my phone will remind me daily to check in (very necessary when motivation wanes or brain forgets). They have lots of "journeys" such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, daily habits, etc. I've already unlocked "daily tasks" as well to slowly improve in general. They focus on small habit changes over a long period of time. Learned today for goals: it's not an on/off switch (turn it off when things get tough) but, instead, a dial. What is 10/10? (example: work out for 1/2 hour 4x a week), what is 1/10? (park at the back of the parking lot and walk inside), and what is 5/10? (go for a 20 minute walk every other day) so that even on our toughest, craziest, busiest days, we can still do SOMETHING in the right direction of our chosen goal (object in motion stays in motion, definitely nerding out here). I just wanted to share in case the "Dial" might help someone else who, like me, struggles and flips that switch off a tad too often. I'm going to do my best to follow the dial method now.

Previous Day's Comments11/18 - Welp. TOM came unexpectedly a week and a half early. Just in time for race day. Dinner was a tad heavy, homemade a chicken, tomato, spinach, rice and turmeric dish with homemade naan bread that Fam made. I'm right at maintenance calories, maybe a tad over. Water was good, full 90oz. At this point, my body is all kinds of wonky. I'm feeling heavy, but I'm not looking overly bloated so I'm going to guess that's the functions of TOM, particularly with these new meds and being off-schedule. Why does my body have to make this so complicated?! Especially difficult because I'm waiting for January to fall under my work's health insurance. The VA does not offer my meds in their system (I'm currently on trial pack, but if I need to adjust dosage, I have to get from a pharmacy and I can't afford without insurance).
11/19 - At least I'm back out of the 150s. My body is on strike or something, I have no clue what's going on. I wonder if it's stress/anxiety plus TOM really messing me up? Likely is. Once this race is over tomorrow, I'll probably feel better. I don't know why I get so anxious for this type of stuff. Oh well, it's happening whether I like it or not. Hopefully tomorrow I'll wake up feeling less bloated and heavy. No scale so we will have to check in Sunday.
Edit to note: TMI is still all over the place. This also may be a HUGE factor in all this. Especially the "heavy but not quite bloated" feeling I've been having.
11/20 - 5k Race, out of town.
11/21 - First things first: 38:24. 1:03 slower than 6 years and a back surgery ago. Not bad! I'm quite happy. Now, the weight. Hormones still going crazy with fluctuations. TMI still not cooperating and getting on schedule. DOMS are kicking my butt (waddle waddle), eating out because we weren't home until late, and not quite enough water because driving and not having many places to stop for a restroom. Bad news: I think I sprained my ACL. FamWife is recreational therapist but obviously has some medical background for her certification and she said either ACL or meniscus but after doing research, I'm thinking more ACL due to the location. I've had patellofemoral syndrome every time I've run and this pain is vastly different. Deeper inside the knee, sharper, and it makes it feel like a bubble inside my knee causing it to be difficult and painful to bend or straighten it. Similar to Halloween knee pain, but that onset hours after the run and went away by the next day. This onset during the run and is still painful today. And it was more painful than Halloween's pain. Other bad news? I because of the potential for it to be ACL, I need to take it easy and get lots of rest. No long walks with the pup, no exercises that include the legs. Just slow movement to keep it from locking up, rest, ice, and elevation. Joy. Getting this uptick off me is going to strictly be food and water intake. Must behave for the rest of the week leading up to Thursday's Thanksgiving feast. Joy. I think I can do it, though. I'm not giving up, that's for sure.
11/22 - Yippee, I was worried it'd take a few days to see any kind of drop. Still sore, I can tell by my roll-out-of-bed waddle haha! Knee has reduced to a dull ache (rather than sharp pain) but that doesn't mean anything. I thought it was just sore Halloween and when pain went away the next day I forgot about it. Obviously it didn't finish healing by Saturday when it flared up. At least I don't have another 5k scheduled until September (another Guinness World Record Attempt!) so I can rest it up. I think I'll focus on rowing in the next few weeks once I'm a little more healed up for a low-impact workout. Will hold off on walking the pup until after Thanksgiving. I'll take it day by day and see how I feel before jumping into anything. Water was amazing yesterday, over 100oz. Back at it today with flushing this uptick out. Need to go grocery shopping to try to avoid the Tuesday/Wednesday rush. I'm set to make my homemade bread, rolls, deviled eggs, and pecan pie for Friendsgiving with Fam. Will also stock up the house for lunch and dinner Monday-Wednesday.

@SheilaBoneham I love all the pics you often share. I can't wait to see the office when you've finished it!
@deepwoodslady Aww, thanks, Donna! I’m afraid it’s going to drag on all week—had to run errands today, so no painting, doggy school tonight & tomorrow morning, Wed. a puppy play date with a friend’s Golden Retriever, Thurs TG at a friend’s house, Fri vet appointment, all of which naturally cut into the day…. But it will get done, and I’ll post at least one pic!
Busy busy! I, too, am excited to see the end result! It sounds very lovely already4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
11/18: 210.4 Weight has just kept falling off in the past week so I'm preparing myself for a little stagnation. I set my goal to 209.1 because that will mark 90 lbs lost and this round marks 7 months since starting this adventure. Excited to get there and then keep it going for another 30 lbs!
11/19: 211.9 Oof! I definitely didn't work out as hard this morning (my alarm didn't go off) but still got 30 minutes in. Snacked last night after a really small lunch and stressful work day. Have to control those urges in the weekend. Looking to do at least 1 hour of rides per day.

11/21: 209.9
11/22: 211.0 - Not in the least bit surprised about this. Got some personal news this weekend and drank Friday/Saturday which came with snacking and not working out as hard as I always do on Sundays. 3 days until Thanksgiving. I just have to be good and work out.
11/23: 210.5 - Holding steady around here which is fine. Still would like to see sub-210 by Thursday but if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. I'll stay below 212 and focus on being below 200 by Christmas. Did a normal 550 calorie burn on the bike this morning. I can go harder Thursday-Sunday this week and I plan on it.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

The sunrise of a new round. I am grateful for it.
This low reading will be difficult for me to match at the end of this round with a holiday in it. I may give it the college try.

Had a snaccident while deer hunting yesterday. Lots of camaraderie and food. And other issues.
11/21: 207.2
Thus starts the week of Thanksgiving. I am thankful for all of you.

I guess I should be happy this is not higher heading into Thursday.
