12/10 198.8 This is my official weigh day. I am down .8 from last Friday. I have back problems and I swim daily. The pool is closed for maintenance so I hope to be back swimming by Sunday. Also, we had pizza last night so water retention could mask a bigger loss. We will see what happens the next few days. 2/3 rings closed but stayed within calories.

12/11 198.8 Yesterday I went slightly over calories. I was craving a chocolate bar so to prevent a binge I allowed myself. I actually closed my rings, I was resting from my back injection on Thursday but I got up and did short slow walks around the apartment a few times. Also, I am enjoying reading everyone’s posts. Here’s to a super Saturday.

12/13 198.4 Stuck to calories and closed my rings. I made sure I did short walks yesterday again. I am back in the pool today so my calorie burn will be much better.

12/14 197.8 This is a new low for me. My weight loss has been a slow process that I started in February 2019. For some reason I struggle every fall. Last fall I gained over 30 pounds so now that is all gone plus a little. At least this year it was more a matter of maintaining instead of a huge gain. We are going to a restaurant tonight to celebrate my granddaughters 16th birthday. I am going to be every mindful of my eating but I will not be accurately able to count my calories. Have a great start to the week!

Day/Weight/Comment

12/08: 205.7 - Alright back down after my body played an end of the round trick on me. Felt really tired this morning so it was a drag to get on the bike but just did it anyway and set another 20 minute PR. Either my cardio is improving that much or I'm getting stronger to set 3 new PRs in a week.
12/09: 204.4 - I'm guessing a lot of water in this but I also had a good day of eating yesterday and I'm just burning so many calories lately that weight is flying off (even though I'm eating plenty, including some junk). Took a 45 minute ride with my favorite instructor this morning and set a 45 minute PR tomorrow is definitely going to be active rest day because my poor legs need it!
12/10: 204.1 - Not much to say today. Very tired. Almost didn't want to work out this morning but pushed myself to do 2 rides. Secondary scale said 203.5... getting so close to 200.
12/11: 201.3 - Two words: Water. Weight. 60 minute ride this morning burning 850 calories and a TON of sweat. Either way it’s nice to see that 200 is attainable probably within a week or so.
12/12: 202.4 - Had Chinese for dinner yesterday and a few alcoholic seltzers so not overly surprised about a slight bump up. Still got up for my scheduled 8am Peloton class and my legs are feeling it!
12/13: 205.5 - Was tempted to just not post today because this is disappointing. But staying accountable. Weight fluctuates and I figured I'd be higher than the weekend with Monday being a low-impact day for me. Still sad to see.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/07 …..190.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/08 …..190.4 ….. (Trend weight 189.6) I’m a hot mess. Now I’ve ran my glucose up and I am feeling like sheer crap on top of it all. I’m making changes today to get to a better place. More paperwork and business for my brother is due today. I don’t even feel like I can raise a pencil to paper! It’s the food choices.

12/09 …..190.4 ….. Trend weight 189.7) Same weight for 3 days in a row but my trend weight is creeping up 0.1 each and every day. I still haven’t made the changes I need to. I am not eating my meals proper, then I’m snacking too much at night turning snacks into meals. Cravings are all over the place. Back and forth from salt to sweet. Glucose numbers still up, even with new meds. I am not even giving them a chance to work. Self-sabotage is putting it mildly. I promise myself everyday that it will change today, and then I begin the tasks for my brother’s death and I either lean on food for comfort, or I get to busy to plan for success. I suppose the first part of success and change is recognition, so here I am standing at the confessional podium. Better planning is next and success (while currently elusive) is mine to take.

12/10 …..189.8 ….. (Trend weight 189.7) I ate better yesterday and kept my snacks to sugar-free items. I still haven’t started Christmas shopping and you all know how far I am from ANY stores. I hope to do a little shopping online today, we are expecting another bad winter storm. We’ve had over 12” of snow in the past couple of days. I am still working on decorating with my handyman’s help. It’s hard to get in the spirit. I’m hanging on by the skin of my teeth here, please continue to be patient with me, my friends.

12/11 …..190.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.8) Waited too long for dinner due to unexpected company over. Then I overate. Dinner at 11:30 pm. Early wake-up and weigh-in after 3.5 hours of sleep. I can’t wait for life to get back to normal, but sadly it will be without Jeff. I still haven’t starting shopping yet. Today I hope to spend some time online doing the online shopping thing. I hope it will better get me in the spirit. Gotta watch my meals today and make sure I don’t get too hungry! I’m actually quite perfect at all this……..that is, until I get hungry. I know ya’ll get that!

12/12 …..192.0 ….. Trend weight 190.0) Out to dinner with a friend who helped move some of my brother’s furniture. Pasta and a shared dessert in the same meal is never a good idea. Freaking out today. Making it a low cal / carb mindful day. Lots of water.

12/13 …..192.2….. (Trend weight 190.2) Small fluctuation with no TMI. Travel today for building supplies and product returns won’t help. I’ll not be home until later tonight after dark.


12/14 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

12/15 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

12/16 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)

Day/Weight/Comment

12/08 - 180.4, Ave 180.9
Okay, back on track and determined to get out of the 80s for good this round, holidays or no! I’m still working on my office (have a rug in mind for to open space and I’m looking for a small cabinet) but here’s the new color. I love the change in the feel of the room.

12/09 - 180.4, Ave 180.8
Ugh, I ate too much yesterday. I can’t seem to stifle myself. But I’m off in a few minutes for a dog walk with a friend and she’s usually up for a nice long one. Gotta bundle up!

12/10 - 181.2, Ave 181.2
Time lag, because my calories yesterday were fine. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow….

12/11 - 181.2, Ave 181.2
Steady as she goes. I had planned a nice walk but the temp is dropping fast (20 degrees in two hours!) and wind is 30-40 mph, so I don’t think so. Maybe I should paint another room for exercise? 😁

12/12 - 180.8, Ave 181.1
My birthday is in 10 days and I’m determined to be below 180 by then! Off for a walk with the pup—it’s chilly, but no wind, a relief after the past two days. Enjoy your Sunday, all!

12/12 - 180.8, Ave 181.1
That’s weird—second time in a coupla rounds that I’ve had the same weight & running average two days in a row. What does it mean??? Have I entered the Twilight Zone? 😁 Anyway….off to get my hair cut and then run some errands, including getting a blender. We haven’t had one in ages, since the ancient one gave up the ghost, but I’ve been hankering for low-cal healthy smoothies to satisfy my sweet tooth and also take collagen daily instead of every two weeks when I remember it. My skin & hair are SO much better with collagen. Have a happy Monday, all!

12/8 205.4 (-1.0) Swam yesterday. I swim an hour of laps and my time is faster. I swam 100 yards averaging 4’14”. When I started swimming in July, it took me 10’52”. Today is no organized exercise. My son flies in tomorrow for a long weekend. Can’t wait to see him!
12/9 205.0 (-1.4) A busy day today, but I plan to swim in between everything on my schedule. Eating and exercise will probably be a little off with company over the weekend, but I’m planning to stay on track with the exception of one indulgence meal.
12/10 206 (-.4) I was hungry yesterday and polished off some salted roasted almonds last night. I felt a little nauseous afterwards. I did not get my swimming in. I’m heading to Lion King tonight with my son and his friends and we are going out to dinner before the show. That will be my indulgence meal, so there will be more of a bump tomorrow.
12/11 207.4 (+1.0) Enjoyed the night out at the Lion King. I swam yesterday morning so did manage to get some good exercise in, along with about 7,500 steps. So I’m hoping this extra weight drops off quickly in the next few days. Heading to Meow Wolf, which is an installation art exhibit. So we’ll be walking a lot. It’s been fun having my son and his buddy in town.
12/12 208.2 (+1.8) Ate late last night and off plan. But I’ve enjoyed every moment of having my son in town. He’s heading home this morning and my routine will be back on track. When we went to Meow Wolf yesterday, I climbed and crawled through lots of spaces that I never would have gone through before. It’s amazing how much of a difference the extra energy and smaller size make. Today begins the final push before Christmas Eve when my family gets together to celebrate. So I have two weeks and hoping to be at a new low later this week.
12/13 206 (-.4) Moving back down after a busy weekend. There is always that seed of doubt…maybe this is the time I won’t be strong enough to get refocused. I’m back on routine today and will be busy with no organized exercise. I think it will be easier because I have my meals planned and tomorrow I’m back in the pool, which always helps with those extra exercise calories.

Hello! This is Round 3 for me. 60F, 5' 3.5". I'm pretty good with following my calories/day allotment and exercising most days (5-6/wk). I lift weights, cardio, stretching, and PT exercises as part of my exercise routine. Good luck everyone!

Round goal: 139.0
End-of-year goal: 140 lbs
End of Feb goal (vacation): 135 lbs, UGW

SW: 140.9
Day/Weight/Comment
12/8 140.9 Another hike in my favorite park yesterday. Last time, a few days back, it was in the 60's. Yesterday, it was in the 40's (and sunny in Colorful Colorado!). I wore leggings and jeans, 2 pairs of socks, 2 shirts, 2 sweatshirts, and a knit hat, lol! I have never hiked in that much clothing before! It worked out well. I thought I would have to wrap one sweatshirt around my waist partway through, but didn't because it was a bit windy. I realized that I did not state a Round goal yesterday, so I added that to my other goals above. Today, I am going to a lunch at a restaurant with a number of ladies and have scoped out the menu online and figured out my calories for the day to keep within my allotment. We'll see how that works. Have a wonderful day, everyone.
12/9. 141.1 OK, for the last six days or so, I've been fairly level with my weight, ever so slightly ticking up. I have been tolerating it, but today, I'm starting to become less tolerant. Yesterday, I went out to lunch and ate more for that meal (~725 calories as opposed to the more typical ~400 calories), and went over ~225 calories for the day. I almost always stay within my allotted amount, so I thought this would be totally ok. And it is, but I am still displeased, lol! It's all good. I'll continue following my calories and my exercise routine...
12/10 140.8 Much better
12/11. 139.8 First time in the 130's for decades, since before my children (in the nineties). My first child "gave" me seven extra pounds and my second, two. I, unfortunately, "gave" myself more! Too many years of prioritizing everything before my needed weight loss. Yo-yo'ing up and down the overweight range of BMI was not the best. No doubt, I'll bounce around 140 for a awhile. This is my year-end goal, which means I need to get lower than that to compensate for the two holiday parties on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
12/12 139.7
12/13 139.2. It's amazing how we can compartmentalize, isn't it? I have been thinking that I only have two Christmas parties to go to this year (actually, just small family get-togethers, hardly parties). A couple days back, I added my second REAL party date to my calendar and it took until yesterday to I realize that I am now up to four events which will adversely impact my weight loss. My plan for the two family get-togethers is to follow my usual eating pattern during the day, excluding those two meals. Then I will eat a bit of everything and not bother to log calories, other than throwing in some wildly estimated "quick add" calories. For the two actual parties, I plan to eat three items and have a glass of punch/wine and do the same with the quick add calories. Like many others, I find when I develop a plan, it is far, far easier! Even with holiday parties, I still believe I will be able to meet my UGW by the end of Feb (vacation). My 140 lb interim goal at end-of-year may not be met and that will be okay.

12/8 119.6 Cool with that weight today. Went for a run this morning and it felt good but it was chilly, so I sweat less than the past two days of using the spin bike inside. I plan to spin tomorrow morning, so I don’t push it with my knee. Food was good all day, although when I was done with my day/finished dinner I was still hungry. I ended up going over on calories but spent them on a microwave baked apple (core an apple, pop in the microwave for 4-5 minutes with a splash of water, finish with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice) and that helped curb the hunger a bit.
12/9 Did not weigh this morning. Did a 60 minute spin bike ride this morning. My husband came home super early this morning because there was a fire at my in-law’s condo complex. He was okay but he could smell and see smoke in the building’s hallway and the fire fighters were starting to show up, so he didn’t stick around to see what happened and just grabbed his stuff and headed home at 3:30 in the morning. That was a scary text to see when I woke up but was so grateful that he was okay and that he heard the faint fire alarm going off.
I have my food all planned for the day and it should be a solid day.

12/12 Feeling tired today. I had caffeine yesterday and thought I slept okay but I guess I didn’t because I’m definitely not energetic. TOM is due in the next 5ish days and I’m just feeling funky from it, I feel puffy, blah, and just sick of the extra weight creep that has happened over the last few months. Now, when I cut I end up feeling extra hungry (even if it’s like 200 cals max but typically 75-100) so it just makes me want to eat at maintenance but then the Christmas treats have been showing up randomly and my will power is gone at the moment (my mother In law made anise cookies and I had three of them but that was probably 300 empty calories and on Friday and Saturday I ended up going over my calories too) . It’s probably just hormones but it’s really annoying. Then on the other hand, I know I’m getting stronger and my runs have been improving a bit along with my strength routine, so I guess I’m just having a struggle moment. Sorry for the ranting but it’s my truth right now.

12/13 Feeling a bit better this morning, there was the most incredible sunrise on my run, to the point where I turned a corner and said, “Holy ****” and proceeded to pause and take a picture because it was so magnificent. I’ll add a picture below even though it won’t do it justice. Preworkout I was 120 but felt less puffy and post workout I was 119. Went for a 6 mile run this morning at a very slow pace because I’m still nursing my knee and my forever tight right hip. Looking forward to the massage I booked for myself next week. I hope she can dig out all the tension/tightness in my hip that I can’t stretch/ theragun massage out. Breakfast was a pre-run raspberry mini corn muffin, and post run was a protein shake, bakery wheat toast with peanut butter and a drizzle of local honey, plus some mushroom tea full of chaga, turkey tail, and a scoop of Thrive 6. Not sure what lunch will be but dinner will be meat loaf with roasted potatoes and Romanesco. I also plan to do a strength workout during my lunch break.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/8/ 168 2 / went for a long drive, stopped for a chibbata, settling down now for a few hours then exersise bike for 15 min later. Glad I made it to a stone loss feel good about myself, I'm not there yet, but I'm still trying. We'll see how this goes, lets do this! 😊
12/9/ 168.8/ went horse riding today for an hour, ate very little till now, having soup and wheaten for light dinner, lots of herbal tea, got three and half pounds to lose this round so going to have to exersise more. Craving crisps these days, going to do a shop tomorrow, so need ideas for recipes, will look up app for more healthy foods.
12/10/168.3/ went for coffee with a friend today, had a big fifteen traybake, she insisted lol I gave in, will try harder tomorrow, need to start losing pounds, Christmas festive food gets me the worst, mini platters of tasty treats, this time of year it is difficult. Will do my best, that's all I can do! Good luck everyone! 👍 😊 7 days to go till end of round, keep logging in! Xx
12/11/ 167.8/ Had a blow out last night, but the scales didn't punish me yet, hardly ate today, as was doing alot of housework, drunk plenty of coffee, pedometers not working anymore, I moved enough that's all I know. Did a shop, so kippers and steamed vegetables for dinner, no beer this weekend, had to stop that bad habit. Hopefully get to 167.5 by tomorrow.
12/12/ 169.0/ didn't sleep much last night, kept waking up and had drinks of water and a night time snack so reading on scale will be higher 😔.Only had chicken gougons for dinner there, and plan not to snack tonight, that's the plan 😆 Will definitely get a good sleep, long drive today. Got to stick to daily target on cals, very important. Going to a dinner party on the 18th so want to make best of this round, just about fit into dress 😅
12/13/ 168.6/ really not getting control of this, when I started diet on fitnesspal a month ago, i really kept my cals down and it was easy, struggling a little now, balancing making dinner for DH is hard when I see hearty meals cooked and all, not to indulge. I think apart from that I've plateaued, need to add more exercise, at least I'm still logging my diary everyday, didn't have much today yet, was out at art class since early morning, so filled up on coffee. Small goal is to not eat after 8pm from now on, and get full nights sleep without waking to get drinks. That's probably messing with scales in morning.

@mazzeryamaryliss I suspect you didn’t really gain 12# in a day. 😁

😆 I didn't, thankfully it was a typo, meant 169 instead of 179, at least it wasn't real, would've needed to eat all day to accomplish that haha

GW-150

12/8-166-I just want to get to 164 this round. DH went fishing, so we had trout for dinner. Soup supper at church tonight, hopefully I can play my cards right and avoid any bread. I want to get a bike ride and horse ride in today.
12/9-DNW-The soup was salty and I ate 2 small pieces of bread. My friend’s quilt top arrived yesterday early and I wanted to get it quilted so I can mail it back today. I normally do not quilt for other people, but I wanted to help her out. Luckily, it was fast and easy. Rain today.
12/10-168-Homemade chicken vegetable soup, must have been the salt. Sunny today, lots to do.
12/11-164-Made it to my goal for the round. Had a small pork chop, sautéed spinach, riced cauliflower and salad, just small portions. My son told me his friend graduates tomorrow; I thought it was supposed to be in the spring and I wanted to make him a quilt. I already have the fabric and a quick pattern....
12/12-DNW
12/13-165-Had MIL over for dinner and made my French bread into rolls, baked salmon and more riced cauliflower, had come candied walnuts, avocado, green onions, dried cranberries and a wine vinegariette I made salad out of. Got all but the binding done and will mail the quilt today. Windy!

12/08
12/09 I’m starting today. Plan on eating chicken noodle soup, and mixed salad. Weight: 191 lbs after a heavy breakfast
12/10 : 187.4 (morning before eating)
12/11: 186 (this morning after waking up, no eating). For the past 3 days, I’ve reached my goal of not going over 1300 calories. I’m very happy that it is clicking, I’ll do everything to reach my calorie goal one day at a time.
12/12: 187. I exceed my calories by 211. I was so hungry, but I don’t think that explains the gain. I must have been losing water weight the first day. I’m still ecstatic with the results. Today I will do the low impact beginner workout video from Body Project on YouTube.

It’s 11:37, I just finished the video “Fun, low impact workout for TOTAL beginners” on YouTube. I hadn’t worked out in a loooong time. I was able to finish the whole workout, I feel AMAZING right now !! Next goal for the day: stay within my daily calories.

12/13: 185.8. Yesterday, I stayed within my points. Today, I did the same video as yesterday. I’m giving myself a challenge: do one video of 30 mn at least 4 times this week. The workouts are for beginner but they’re not that easy, today I was slightly sore from yesterday but was still able to finish today’s workout. I feel beyond AMAZING and proud of myself!!!!
My goal is to
1. stay within my calories today,
2. do another video tomorrow morning.

This is working. It’s not rocket science, it’s simple to understand but not easy to do. I think I got the click this week, I’m taking it and running!!!! Let’s goooooooo!!!!!! This community is AWESOME!!!

5'9" F 67yrs
Starting Weight a few years ago 278-Thankfully I've kept off those 70 pounds, but it's time to tackle the next several lbs!

Goals
To end the month/year within a 2 pound range (ie I may lose this pre Christmas celebration challenge, but don't want to weigh more than 210-I want to stay in the 200 + single digits range) I'd love to enter the New Year at 202-the overweight catagory for me, but realistically? I commit to weighing & measuring my nutritionally rich food for this challenge, and to get down to 205-206 range.

Here's to health!

12/10 207.6
12/11 207.8 Back to the beginning of this round's weight. Yep-weight fluxuates! That being said, as I've read through all your posts (yes, this morning I did read through 4 pages of comments looking for my last post) I'm reminded that I've missed drinking lots of water, and swimming. So my focus today is H2O-in and around me!

12/12

12/13 207.4 Well, after a full weekend of activities and a bit of overindulding, I'm glad to see that I'm still in the good range and -.4 from where I started this challenge. The ups and downs of life and weight loss! Saturday I went to a former colleague's memorial service, attended a play that evening, and visited a distressed friend yesterday. I never attributed enjoying food & drink that I've not eaten for quite a while to these events....but I'm beginning to see the light....I'm used to having a glass of wine when at the theater....but really? $12 for a tiny portion in a plastic cup with a lid? And drinking my caories? And the theater buff who I was with passed me chocolate just after intermission. Old habits...that I'm now seeing this all in a new light. I've started this new attempt to lose weight, without really examining these long held habits/customs. Eating over the passing of a beloved friend, and another one in distress...I've heard of "eating your feeings" but am now realizing what it means first hand. Observations worth of my consideration.

8: 212.6 I've got a new goal to reach 195 by 2/22/22...the day before my birthday. Broken down into 5 pound increments, the first being the longest because of the holidays, I'd like to see 210 by December 30th. With TOM this round and Christmas next round, it might be challenging, but I intend to hold myself to it.
9: 212.2 Good day yesterday. Honestly surprised to not be seeing little gains yet, but I'll take the loss! Makes me curious what's different now though. 🤷🏽
10: 212.2 I'm gonna call this a win because I would normally definitely be gaining by now. Getting ready to hunker down for a couple days. Winter storm on the way. First we were expecting 5-12 inches of snow. Now they're saying mixed precipitation. Either way, I don't want to drive in it, so meals are planned and groceries are bought.
11: 212.4 Since my (formally?) normal PMS gain pattern isn't happening, I wonder if the TOM whoosh will still happen on day 2 or 3. I'm kind of excited to find out.
We got around 4 inches of snow overnight, so looks like shoveling will need to happen at some point. I'll probably be sore tomorrow!
12: 212.6 No TOM yet, so maybe these are my PMS gains. Definitely better than gaining 2-3 pounds. I'm really happy about this round so far! Shoveled yesterday for about an hour. Ended up with a 1000 calorie deficit, even eating about 1300. I'm not as sore today as I thought I would be, but I am feeling muscles I'm not used to being aware of.
13: 211.5 I'm baffled, but I'll take it. Lol 🤔 Visiting a friend overnight tonight, so no weight tomorrow. Will probably be up a bit anyway since we'll likely soak in the hot tub tonight with drinks in hand.

@schmoyew My guess is that this jump is from carbs and sodium in that Chinese food. It generally takes a couple of days for Asian food to show on my scale. Hang in there!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/08 / 190 / Rough night volunteering last night. Today will be busy at work, we'll see what exercise I get up to at lunch and afterwards. Excited to see the first 18x number this round!
12/09 / 188.2 / Hello whoosh! I haven't seen the 180's for over 15 years... I am over the moon excited for this final stage of my weight loss journey!
12/10 / 189.6 / Did my first 60 minute Peloton ride this morning. I didn't want to get out of bed but I was so glad I did!
12/11 / 189.2 / Had my work's virtual Christmas party last night. Husband and I got to order in and watch the private concert. I know I want to do some strength training today and we'll see what else we get up to. Feeling a bit sore so might take it easier than normal.
12/12 / 189.6 / More sedentary day yesterday as we saw two movies in the theatre (there was a good promotion on). Still did 53 minutes of exercise though so I'm happy about that.
12/13 / 191.8 / Definitely feel bloated today which is unusual for me. I set a 60 minute PR on the Peloton yesterday and then spent the day in the kitchen on my feet with my husband and mom making homemade perogies and meat kebabs.
