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.

12/8 117.5 Chocolate Tres Leches Cake - MEH. Friend brought it from Texas because she thinks it wonderful.
12/9 118.0 Edited yesterday’s post. Appointments with the retina specialist today. The pinched nerve and arthritis in my neck has been bothering me for several days. Not an excuse, just a diary entry because I save all of my posts.
12/10 117.0 Community Arts and Crafts luncheon today. Brown bag lunch and shared desserts. I’m making my always popular high carb brownies. They smell sooo good!
12/11 119.0 Holiday party #1 under my belt and the 2nd and last coming this afternoon. It l’s all good. Breakfast Bingo this morning with “continental breakfast.” We all know that means loads of carbs. They should have some berries that I’ll eat and I’m taking my own low carb yogurt.
12/12 121.5 Pre-Christmas gathering #2 of 2. Glad those are over. Back with the program. It’s all good.
12/13 120.5 Half of a large Greek salad with steak skewer, no pita, yesterday. Finished the apple I got last week. Ate half apple with 2T peanuts only peanut butter (Smucker’s Natural.) My GKI went from 19 on Saturday (not good) to 42(horrid!) Reminder that even natural sugar is SUGAR! My GKI has been under 10 and was 3.2 a week ago.6 -

• Smart BMI - optimal weight.
• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal rangeJust because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
December focus:
maintain weight < 145 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's
I can’t quite believe I’m under 140 and staying here 😱 I keep expecting the scale to shoot up again!

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.

I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), add one day of double strength training per week (didn’t hit this last round cause of a cold).
Previous Rounds169 150->151.2 (+1.2) Thanksgiving
170 151.2->148.3 (-2.9)
Previous Posts12/8 workday 2/2. Leftover soba noodles with cabbage, bell pepper, carrot and tofu for lunch. Roasted Brussel sprouts with a Buffalo sauce, avocado, and seitan for dinner. Protein: 124
12/9 I meal planned today since I work all weekend (boooo!) and ran around all morning doing some Christmas shopping and getting groceries. I did a clean and jerk, v-up, burpee workout and big pull day for strength (PRs on my DB rows and rack pulls!). Our gym is in the garage and I’m maxing out on the DB’s (only go up to 60) but we are also maxing out on space for gym equipment since we do use it as an actual car garage. I might look into getting PowerBlocks to get us up to 90lbs without using up much more floor space. Had a farro bowl with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, seitan and a gochujang sauce. Walked around the neighborhood after dinner looking at Christmas lights. Protein: 126
12/10 I did two cardio workouts. One jump rope and DB step ups and the other rowing, shoulder press, and bent over barbell rows. I did a core workout from my strength programming. Normally there are 4 days of mostly compound lifts and 2 days of accessory and core work and I’ve been trying to fit in the accessory days on one of my 4 non-work days. Mission accomplished today! I also went on a walk (I like to listen to house music and walk to the beat. Keeps the pace brisk lol) before it got super windy. I ran a few errands this afternoon with my mom and went to the florist to have them make a festive garland with lights to go around my front door. Hit some PRs (again!!) on leg day for the primary lifting session. I ended up eating waaay more today than I have for the past few weeks since I was so active. Dinner was a roasted cauliflower, black lentil, green olive, pistachio salad with a lemon vinaigrette and baked tofu. Back to work tomorrow. Protein: 162
12/11 Probably the most annoying day of work in recent memory. Not looking forward to going back in the morning. Really yummy roasted eggplant and tomato soup and seitan for dinner though. Protein: 115
12/12 workday 2/2. 4 days of freedom now! Leftovers for lunch. Spicy lentils with roasted butternut squash and tofu for dinner. Protein: 116

12/13 148.5 (-.3) I love my days off! The hospital is just (physically and mentally) exhausting sometimes. I meal planned and grocery shopped for the next week (I really messed up my schedule for December and am working almost every weekend. Yuck). I am doing a good job with getting my 2 accessory days of strength training programming in now that I’m recovering from that nasty cold. I did a rowing, man maker (first time doing them, it was like a push-up, renegade row, squat clean, thruster all in one), devil’s press workout and hit the accessory trunk work day this morning. I got a Christmas book on audible that I listened to on a walk. Leftovers for lunch. For the primary strength training today I did a push day. The new programming cycle is heavy on volume and I’m feeling it. Ever since I’ve started cleaning up my diet and hitting my protein goals I’ve been hitting PRs almost everyday and tonight I was doing deficit pushups like they were nothing. Feels good! Stir fried tempeh, cabbage, and carrots with a really yummy sweet and sour type sauce for dinner. Protein: 152g

I'm in again. Round 170 was basically a wash for me - I lost 0.2 pounds. 🙄
I'm a 5'7" 54yo woman in SE Michigan.
I would like to consistently be at or below 158 by Christmas.
SW (this fall): 161 lbs
UGW: 145 lbs. (I'd be happy with 150 right now.)
Day/Weight/Comment (Comments will be regarding the previous day)
12/8 - 159.4 Ate OK yesterday - maybe a little too much beef rendang for dinner. Snacking happened but was not out of control. No exercise - work from 9 - 5, and then it was dark. And I was tired.
12/9 - 158.8 Yesterday was one of those days going from one thing straight to another with work, volunteer responsibilities, grocery shopping. . . I don't snack much on these days but did snack a little more in the evening. Was over WW points but still a blue dot - surprisingly. No exercise other than my daily back exercises.
12/10 - 159.2 Yesterday: ate OK. Didn't track dinner but I think it wasn't too high (chicken yassa) though the squash had a buttery/ maple syrup-y glaze. I walked with a friend for about 1.5 hours in the afternoon; my fitbit tracked ~12K steps by the end of the day. Work holiday party tonight -- Thai restaurant food. That will be a challenge. Will try to jog today - I think I'll have time.
12/11 - 159.0 Yesterday was a heavy work day = a lot of sitting. I ate about half my Thai order at the work party and threw the rest away. I was full and I can't bring it home anyway b/c my daughter has celiac. No significant exercise.. .
12/12 - 158.2 Yesterday, I kept snacking under control, tracked everything, and jogged 3 miles without getting blown away (too badly) by the wind!
12/13 - 158.2 Yesterday, I tracked all my food again! Went over my WW points. Had lunch out with my husband.

Round 171 (103rd for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There is only 17 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 3 pounds for then ( I think 2 pounds are more realistic, but I'll give it a go!), that is only 2.5 weeks, a pound a week or 2 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with more pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and keeping going. Incentive is that I feel good about the dresses I want to wear for our Christmas & New Year dance nights. I need to remain binge free, but as always – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers keep yo-yoing in England – we reached “freedom day” back in the summer, but there is still a pandemic, and now a new variant: Covid is still very much around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, stay alert and 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.

Previous days12/8 119.6 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.

**************************************
12/08 140.0 (trend 141.6) hit last round's goal a day late, it's nice to start on a round number. I'm surprised to get a drop today as I was waaaay over calories yesterday so this may just be dehydration, we'll see tomorrow. The family had a Chinese takeaway last night, I had a taste and a few prawn crackers but didn't order a meal, instead I had a ham sandwich and a chocolate bar, probably not the best substitute on reflection! I'll have to try and make amends today.
12/09 139.8 (trend 141.4) Excited to get a glimpse at the 130s! Didn't eat much again yesterday but woke up starving so I think it's safe to say my appetite is back, got to watch out that I don't binge today. I'm craving soup and have a couple of pumpkins left that I grew so may have to make some nom nom. Still haven't got a kitchen though so it'll be a bit tricky, maybe I'll use the slow cooker.
12/10 140.4 (trend 141.2) Had a really lazy day yesterday and probably snacked a bit too much. I need to up my water intake and get back to more structured eating. Taking my daughter (17) for her first vaccine today, 1 hour in the car each way, we'll probably stop off at the garden centre on the way back and go to the cafe, buy a special tree ornament and maybe a holly wreath. OH is away for a few nights so we can binge on tacky Christmas movies and decorate the house a bit. I just need to clean it first, blah. Not all girly stuff though, we're gonna watch the grand prix tomorrow. Mercedes F1 is based in our little town so it's the law that we watch it!
12/11 140.4 (trend 141.1) had a bit of a binge last night, bought some lebkuchen which I absolutely love and holds so many nostalgic memories for me. I probably scoffed about 8 and a packet of crisps and stayed up until the wee small hours so I'm expecting a gain over the next few days. Really tired today so I'm gonna be relaxing and taking it easy.
12/12 142.0 (trend 141.3) Me and the girl decorated the tree, danced around to wham and had far too much baked camembert, bread and mulled wine. Big gain but hopefully only temporary!
12/13 142.2 (trend 141.4) Didn't eat much yesterday but still processing all the rich food from the last few days. Not worried, yet! Gonna try and eat light for the rest of the week.
12/14 140.0 (trend 141.2) Phew, the last time I had a bread and cheese fest (pizza) I was bloated for about 5 days, this time was only 2. I had a probiotic yoghurt last night which I think helped. Note to self, flour is not your friend.

12/14 - 145.6 - Likely due to fasting until lunch (18 hours) and a small dinner of roast. Probably should've had a little more roast so I don't get peckish, but I'll be alright. Just need to keep myself busy. Barely finished 90oz water before bed. Found a new house just posted to look at, BF is going to go get a first look today since we know it may go fast and our agent will be in the neighborhood today. My first opportunity is Friday due to working out of town. Didn't find a real good place to work out, but my office mate is out on vacation this week so I can expand into his cubicle today and Thursday to knock it out. Same lunch packed and ready today (other than sweet potatoes, I'm already sick of my lunch haha! I CANNOT do this eat the same thing every day thing very well. Just have to remind myself it's not a treat, it's fuel. It's healthy and balanced and that's what matters most. It's actually quite tasty, too).

Previous Day's Comments12/08 - Whew, the first weigh in of the round is now over and no random uptick! Food was okay, portions were good, water was excellent. All NF habits completed. Got plenty of stretching in through the day, but checked off goal with a 6 minute morning yoga routine. My body was a bit stiff so throughout the day, I got on the floor and moved in whatever way felt comfortable. Today is 7 reverse lunges each as well as my BW workout from NF so I'll knock those out here shortly. Lots of back to back meetings again so no grocery trip today (and if the meetings hold, tomorrow either) so I have to get creative with a balanced lunch these next couple of days. Friday I'm off so can stock up for the weekend and next week.
12/09 - Scale was making rash decisions this morning. Before I could even get both feet settled on it, it had settled on 146.2. I was not confident so I let it cycle through off and on, tried again. Another rash decision. With only one foot on the scale (the other hovering as I was in the process of stepping from floor to scale) 148.6. Okaaaaay, not even ON the scale. Finally, it acted normal and gave me 2 back to back readings (that took the normal couple of seconds to register) of 146.7. Well then. Today is rest day for NF. QFit wants me to do 9 staircases but I don't have any staircases around that are accessible to me/open to the public (or part of a state park in which you have to schedule a reservation and pay for). All habits good yesterday, water was good. Food was much much better with veggies in all 3 meals. I know dinner is homemade hamburgers at Fam's again tonight and I also know they usually leave me feeling horribly full and the scale jumping up the next day. Will be sure to plan around that with breakfast and lunch as well as eat slower tonight and be mindful of portion size.
12/10 - Actually shocked I'm down. Homemade venison/beef burgers. Also had a small pre-dinner snack of Limburger cheese on wheat thins (Those pushed me over calories by about 100). I did cut my burger in half. Ate half with the bun, the other half without bun. Saved me some calories and helped me up protein without upping carbs anymore. Also only ate cucumber and carrots as a side. Not a single chip, either! Lunch was a frozen burrito because meetings came flooding in back to back around my normal lunch and I only had about 5 minutes to get something and stuff my face. Breakfast was alright with ham/egg/cheese english muffin. No veggies, though. Finished my NF bodyweight workout already this morning. All of NF habits good. Hoping to hit 15 hours fasting despite my workout (NF goal is 15 hours so I'm not worried if I'm below 16. Training my body to adjust to fasting while working out is a lot harder than I thought. This is why fasting fell off my radar when I was training for my 5k. Hangry was not fun). Grocery shopping today. Hopefully I can get in and out before I get too ravenous. I am pretty good about sticking to my list, though, regardless of hunger.
12/11 - We ended up unexpectedly hanging out with some friends late last night and didn't get home until about 2am just talking and hanging out. Woke up at about 8 remembering I'd promised the local grocery store I'd be in early if they'd save me some boxes from overnight stocking (which they did! Yay free moving boxes). I was dressed and ready before my sleepy little brain realized I hadn't weighed. I figure it will likely be a false weight given the late night, lack of sleep, and water anyway so I'm not too upset by it. Back on goals/habits today. Everyone is out of town except the 2 friends we hung out with last night so it's just BF and I today. Making grocery list for dinners next week (I'm commuting) and I'll pick those up tomorrow before football starts. Rest day for NF (thankfully, after that little sleep I'd be really struggling). Not sure what's on the agenda for us today
12/12 - Expected. We wanted to get out of our crazy touristy town. Unfortunately, we had no idea the little cute town we wanted to visit had a Christmas event going on so it was just as toursity. Oh well, change of pace and scenery was still nice. Due to this, though, we ate out for "Linner" at a pizza place. Not too much water, either. Still hit minimum 70oz, but hard to tell with the glasses they provided us. Yesterday was NF rest day. Didn't track my fast, but I believe I was about 16 hours or so. All other habits good. NF promotes "paleo-ish" (more eat real foods and paleo is a good way to frame that). Lunch prep happened this morning, focusing on paleo: roasted broccoli and bell peppers for veggies, roasted sweet potato for my carbs, and baked chicken breast cut into tenders. Have a kiwi for dessert all 4 days. Errands: Grocery shop for staples to improvise dinner (complete, BF cooking dinners and he doesn't know what he wants to make), fill 5gal water jugs (complete), laundry (complete, just need to fold), meal prep (complete, tomorrow's lunch packed and ready to grab-n-go and coffee pot ready and set to brew), and shower (later). Whew. Busy busy. Trying to fast until lunch since I'm only just now starting to feel hungry. Have leftover sausage and broccoli from Friday as well as some sweet potato from this morning's meal prep. Unsure of dinner. Since I'm commuting this week, I expect a bump up this week. Later dinners and early mornings usually result in that. Will be focusing on my NF goals regardless and try to offset. I'm just happy to be pretty steady in the 140s again.
12/13 - As expected, the early morning jump up. Hopefully now I've shocked my system, I can continue on track and start dropping again. The fact that it's a larger blip up can likely be contributed to BF making homemade steak lo mein for dinner (hello sodium). Water was good and habits all good yesterday. Today is active rest day but I'll probably be up and down walking around a good chunk of the day. I'll at least do my best to find excuses to get up and move around rather than sit at the desk. BF said he wanted to make roast for tonight so hopefully he remembers to put in on this morning when he wakes up. Dinner was quite early last night (finished eating about 515pm) so my eating window this morning (16 hour fast) opens at 915am. I'll try to push to our lunch (11am) but I have a protein shake and a salmon packet I can have if I need a little extra. With that, my eating window may be longer today since dinner will be late (usually get home 630-ish and can't start eating until about 645-7pm) but it'll reset me to my correct fasting window for breaking it at lunch and finishing it with dinner.

12/8 207.8 Walked 1.1 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, shopping, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Dinner out Italian again but I ordered grilled crab cakes. Went to a play (TUTS Little Mermaid) with my sister, DD and DIL which was a nice change of pace but it was a late night.
12/9 207.5 Walked 2.8 + 1 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Healthier eating and this time I included veggies! But I’m craving and snacking on Simply Jif by the spoonful.
12/10 206.6 Walked .7 + 1.5 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Doing great with meals but my snacking is still off … Snickers and then opened a bag of Fritos after coming home from grocery store.
Pregnant DIL was in a car accident. The driver fell asleep behind the wheel at 3pm!! Didn’t even tap the brakes and ran into the back of her. He and his daughter were taken away in ambulance … he was not conscience. DIL and the baby are okay. She was wearing a Pregnancy Bump Strap so no trauma across the tummy from the seat belt! Met her doctor at the hospital for observation and to throughly check her & baby out.
Buy this for every pregnant woman in your life!

12/11 206.4 Walked 3.1 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Went to doctor to see if I can do anything about a lingering 3 week cough before granddaughter is born. No root cause except drainage down throat (not nose). No sinus congestion or headache, no chest congestion, no fever, no aches, clear ears, negative Covid, etc. Got a steroid shot, Z-Pak, & take Zyrtec. Hopefully it will knock out whatever it is.
12/12 207.2 Walked 3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Red Beans & Rice with cornbread for dinner was yummy & warm but not great carb wise! I made an extra large batch! Taking some to DD & hubby who are packing to move into their new home and DIL & my son who are expecting our granddaughter soon. Some will be going into the freezer and some left for DH on the nights I’m out this week.
12/13 207.0 Walked 3.4 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Healthy meals planned after grocery shopping and restocking the kitchen! Attended a cookie party today where a friend makes a dozen different cookies (small bites) and invites 75 of her friends to drop by and rate them all. Yummy annual holiday fun activity! After the sugar high I had a lot of energy but really didn’t accomplish much.
12/14 206.4 Walked 3.2 + 1.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Made Party Trash mixture to take to various parties this week. Also made chicken sausage gumbo. Did not eat either since I had book club dinner out. The restaurant is normally closed on Mondays but they opened for our group. Kept my meals reasonable.

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!

12/11 207.8 Back to the beginning of this round's weight. Yep-weight fluxuates! As I've read through all your posts (yes, this morning I did read 4 pages of comments looking for my last post) I'm reminded that I have 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 overindulging, I'm glad to see that I'm still in the good range and -.4 from where I started this challenge. The ups & 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 feelings" but am now realizing what it means firsthand. Observations worth of my consideration.
12/14 205.6 Whoo whoo, pounds dropping! Now to keep going in this direction!!! A bit less than 4 pounds to Overweighthood! I'm so ready to exit "obesity range" and get into "overweight" BMI catagory. Then on to "normal" next year!!!
Got most of my Xmas shopping done. Now to start the wrapping.

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!!!!!!
12/14: 185.4. I’m very sore (especially legs), I’ll take a break from working out. Goal for the day: not going over my calorie (this is hard, my limit is 1275), before that I think I was easily eating 3000-4000 calories a day. Last thing I forgot to mention, I drink a lot of water (2.5 liters per day), about 5 small bottles.

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.
12/14: 205.0 - Feeling like I won't get to my 200 by Christmas for the first time so that's not the best feeling in the world.

Goal for this round: Maintain weight while continuing to focus on strength training and running
Previous days12/14 120.2 I got a 60 minute spin bike ride in this morning and a nice long stretching session afterwards. Food is all planned for today. Breakfast will be toast with cocoa hazelnut spread I made, Whole milk yogurt with apple and a drizzle of molasses; my lunch will be a protein shake and dinner will be left overs from last night. I’m looking forward to this weekend because we’re planning to go to Santa’s Village in NH. I have never been and my husband used to go as a kid, so it’ll be fun to be a kid again and see it for the first time during the Christmas season.
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 this morning, 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.

I ate back some of my Spinning exercise calories last night, but still at a net deficit for CI/CO.
Two nights ago, I ate a steak at an office party that totaled a whole day’s calorie budget. Left to my own judgment, I would be fine with that. This is why I do these ten day challenges, so I can fall under your judgement. HA!

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 easy because I have my meals planned and tomorrow I’m back in the pool, which always helps with those extra exercise calories.
12/14 205.2 (-1.2) Another busy day today, but it starts with swimming, so I should be good. Still hoping to hit my goal weight for this round. Fingers crossed!

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!
12/14 - 180.6, Ave 180.9
I’m still eating too much, but a bit less. I don’t know why I’m so ravenous these days. But little by little….

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 …..191.6 ….. (Trend weight 190.4) Travel weight has not shown up yet on the scale. I got my Covid booster Sunday and the fatigue and flu-like symptoms hit me hard while I was out of town. Wow. Just so tired and lethargic. While it is totally worth it, I hate that it happened while I was away from home. The Moderna was half the dose of my last shot so I didn’t expect this. I got to bed early and just rested until this morning. I feel back to 100% now. Today is hair appointment this afternoon. Then back to some more decorating/tidying up and maybe even some wrapping later!

Hi all! 😃 this will be my fourth round, I have lost 1 stone so far. 5 ft 4, 30years old, female, UK.
OW: 182
SW: 168.2
GW: 165.2
UGW: 130
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.
12/14/ 169.0/ dedicated today to make a difference, I need to put effort in, no snacking tonight, got vegetables which will fill me up, and will have soup with no bread for supper. Need to spur myself on yo lose another stone, at least, I know I can do it bring on the scales by day ten 💪

@AR10at50 Thank you! Being in the 130's does seem a little surreal, and yet, doable. Why, why didn't I do this years ago!6

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.

Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
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!
12/14-167-Made broccoli cheddar soup and also cooked a sweet potato- heavy food. Garden Club luncheon today and dinner out with a friend.....7 -
I'm in again. Round 170 was basically a wash for me - I lost 0.2 pounds. 🙄
I'm a 5'7" 54yo woman in SE Michigan.
I would like to consistently be at or below 158 by Christmas.
SW (this fall): 161 lbs
UGW: 145 lbs. (I'd be happy with 150 right now.)
Day/Weight/Comment (Comments will be regarding the previous day)
12/8 - 159.4 Ate OK yesterday - maybe a little too much beef rendang for dinner. Snacking happened but was not out of control. No exercise - work from 9 - 5, and then it was dark. And I was tired.
12/9 - 158.8 Yesterday was one of those days going from one thing straight to another with work, volunteer responsibilities, grocery shopping. . . I don't snack much on these days but did snack a little more in the evening. Was over WW points but still a blue dot - surprisingly. No exercise other than my daily back exercises.
12/10 - 159.2 Yesterday: ate OK. Didn't track dinner but I think it wasn't too high (chicken yassa) though the squash had a buttery/ maple syrup-y glaze. I walked with a friend for about 1.5 hours in the afternoon; my fitbit tracked ~12K steps by the end of the day. Work holiday party tonight -- Thai restaurant food. That will be a challenge. Will try to jog today - I think I'll have time.
12/11 - 159.0 Yesterday was a heavy work day = a lot of sitting. I ate about half my Thai order at the work party and threw the rest away. I was full and I can't bring it home anyway b/c my daughter has celiac. No significant exercise.. .
12/12 - 158.2 Yesterday, I kept snacking under control, tracked everything, and jogged 3 miles without getting blown away (too badly) by the wind!
12/13 - 158.2 Yesterday, I tracked all my food again! Went over my WW points. Had lunch out with my husband.
12/14 - 158 I'm excited by the possibility of maybe getting below 158 soon! I just need to stay consistent. Lack of consistency is one of my weaknesses. Yesterday was a slightly crazy day at work--> a lot of sitting. I ate mindfully and limited snacking, though I didn't track. I hope to go for a jog this afternoon since it's mild and sunny again!
