Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.

GW-149
1/17-167-Got a 4 mile walk in, finished quilting a quilt, just need to get the binding on it.
1/18-169-Walked 5 miles, exercised the horse (he and i are both on a roll). Made a creamy pesto sauce for the chicken breast I baked last night. Roasted cauliflower, broccoli and some sliced purple onion.
1/19-167-No walk, but did ride the horse. Had chicken stew and polenta; the stew already had rosemary in it, so I added some to the polenta and it was good.
1/20-167-Leftovers from last night, so dinner was heavy. The only exercise was riding the horse bareback, which helps core strength. I’ve been watching videos on brain health by Dr. Daniel Amen and he uses a natural approach and it is refreshing
1/21-168-Healthy dinner, but had cheese, then popcorn for a snack in the afternoon. Lots of errands today.
1/22-167-Super windy here, no horse and no exercise. Today will be much better.
1/23-DNW-Spent the day stretching, woke up stiff from the 50 lb. dog tripping me the night before. I feel really good now though! I’ve got a quilt 3/4 done and the sun is out. Last Monday, I started seeds in foil loaf pans that I will transplant from, and a bunch of them are already coming up!!8 -

It's essentially just caramelized fennel 2-3 large bulbs in about a stick or two of butter and a couple of large cans of crushed tomatoes simmered together for a bit. My goodness was that soup divine especially sopped up with a hearty bakery bread!
@playhardkf2017 It’s never too late to talk soup! That fennel-tomato sounds fabulous! I love fennel—will have to try it. Thanks!7 -

1/17- 199.0 (-1.0) A new low today. Weight loss has slowed a bit, but averaging 1.2 pounds a week (per Happy Scale) I’m glad I log my weight everyday, otherwise I’d think I was plateauing. Orange Theory Fitness was good yesterday. I’m so much stronger. It surprises me every time. I usually go once a week and then swim 2x and hike. I may add one more OTF workout in each week. That might get me losing a little more. No organized exercise today, but I have a busy day so It’s easier to stay on plan.
1/18- 199.2 (-.8) I wore a pair of 16W Levi jeans yesterday after they sat in my closet for almost ten years. I had to remove the tags finally. They were my “someday” jeans. They are a little snug in the waist so I have a little muffin top, but not so tight that I was afraid the button would pop off and injure someone. It felt so good!! Today is swimming and painting in my studio. Hoping for a downward move on the scale tomorrow. In the 190’s for two days in a row is fabulous!! Now just to get all my water in…
1/19- 198.4 (-1.6) Swimming has been my primary go to exercise and from one of my earliest swimming outings in late July where I swam 22 laps in 57 minutes, yesterday I swam 72 laps in 69 minutes. (72 laps is 1800 yards or just over a mile!) In 2022, I’m hoping to improve my speed to 72 laps in 60 minutes or less. Today I’m focused on painting with no organized exercise planned.
1/20- 198.8 (-1.2) I got a lot done yesterday. I love days when things just flow. Today, I’m back to the pool and visiting a friend at her art studio. Making progress on the painting front.
1/21- 197.4 (-2.6) Nice!! Swimming was great yesterday. I have breakfast with a friend this morning and will probably have my indulgence meal for dinner tonight. I’m expecting a bump tomorrow before it falls back off. I’m so excited that every day of this challenge so far has been under 200 pounds. I’m getting there!!
1/22- 198.4 (-1.6) Yesterday was my indulgence meal, so this isn’t unexpected. Today I’m back on track. No organized exercise, but plenty of water.
1/23- 197.6 (-2.4) My sister and I planned to hike today and we took the dogs. There was just a bit too much snow and their feet were getting cold so we ended up leaving and finding another location where there were cleared sidewalks. So, we didn’t burn as many calories, but it was nice to get out. I think I need to buy dog booties for the next time. Really watching what I’m eating today and drinking all my water hoping for a new low weight in the next few days.11 -

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.

@jedaschultz Sorry for your loss.1

@playhardkf2017 That sounds like a delicious soup! My meals are planned for this week, but if/when we get another cold front next week I'll be looking for a recipe!2

@OY74NmFGBL Good luck and enjoy your dinner! Carbs and tequila are my kryptonite!3

Round 173 #1 (SW 253, FW 249)
Round 174 #2 (SW 249, FW 246.5*)
Round 175
1/17 246.5 I was extra surprised by the number on the scale this morning. Hopefully, my Saturday of sinful calories won’t catch up with me tomorrow. 😂 Back in school with masks today, and 8 of the 15 rooms in my building are on modified quarantine status, I’m just waiting for my turn. I’m grateful parents and students didn’t put up a fight about wearing masks.
1/18 248.5 There’s my weekend weight! Staying on track with calories today should help me get back down.
1/19 247 There it is again, 247, my body seems to want to hold on to this one. 🙃 I hit my protein and fiber goals while staying under calories today, so maybe tomorrow is the day I kiss it good buy forever!
1/20 245.5 A new low! I planned my calories today because I’m only human and it's half-priced Sonic Corn Dogs Day. I stayed under calories, but I was also under on protein and fiber.
1/21 245.5 holding steady, but went over on calories a bit. I was so hungry all day even with 150 grams of protein, so I indulged in some pudding for desserts and I’ll take the extra calories.
1/22 - 244.5 Hey! 2 pounds down! I’ve been noticing that my 5-week prediction hasn’t been dropping as much as it used to, and I know I’ll need to be making some more changes soon. So I started researching gym options in my area. I know I need to lower my calorie goal, but I’d rather start working off some more than trying to consume less. Eventually, I’ll have to do both, but one step at a time!🙂
1/23 243 This is encouraging since I’ve really struggled the past couple of days with wanting to stress eat, teaching seems to be the only plate I have that’s full and still being piled upon… sigh. I went ahead and lowered my daily calorie goal to 1,900 so I’m hoping to keep seeing the scale drop. Have a great week everyone!

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), complete all 6 programmed strength training sessions during my 4 days off per week

Previous Posts1/17 Had a relatively lazy day. Planned meals for this week and made a grocery list. Did a deadlift, squat, pullup workout this morning and took a walk. I made a Korean soup (doenjang chigae) for dinner and it was really tasty but pretty sodium heavy. Reload week for strength, but the programming never feels that much easier than the normal weeks hah. I bet my legs are sore tomorrow after all of the split squatting I did tonight. I’ve been feeling pretty hungry, so I’ve relaxed my calorie goal a little and am eating back more exercise calories. Protein: 146
1/18 workouts ✅✅✅ super sore today. “Reload” weeks on the programming are always like that. tomato garbanzo beans stew with seitan for dinner. Protein: 144
1/19 still super sore. Did a weighted step up, shoulder press, bent over row workout this morning. Very cold and windy otherwise, so didn’t get out and walk. Strength was programmed as an active recovery day but included a lot of pull-ups and dips. Farro with sautéed mushrooms and spinach and a gochujang sauce. Back to work tomorrow. I got a call back about the surgery job and I’ll need to think about it. I would work Monday-Friday 5:30-2 + occasional on call. Protein a bit on the low side: 113
1/20 work 1/2. Not a bad day in Covid-land. I think I’m going to need to buy new scrubs in small cause my pants are about to fall off.. especially when I’m wearing the PAPR. Kimchi stew with tofu for dinner. Yummy! Protein: 121
1/21 work 2/2. Still had a bad headache today but otherwise feel fine. Idk if I should get a Covid test tomorrow just to be safe or not. Thai-ish soup with seitan for dinner. Protein: 126
1/22 did a snatch and box jump workout and then a push press, kb swing, push-up workout this morning. We cleaned up the vegetable garden since none of the hardy greens stood up against the deep freezes this winter. I forgot that I left some potatoes in the dirt and dug up a ton of those. Otherwise went grocery shopping (I hate running errands on the weekends. Too many people. It really makes me appreciate my work schedule) and made broccoli, pea, edamame fried rice with tempeh for dinner. Protein: 127

1/23 145.5 Picked up an extra shift for a big bonus. It was a good day.. I just regret missing a day of lifting. Depending on how the rest of the week goes I might try to make it up. Back to work tomorrow. My husband used the potatoes we dug up to make one of our favorite recipes. It’s like a gochujang potato rosti in a Dutch oven and you bake eggs into it. Extra delicious with fresh garden potatoes. Protein: 125

Day/Weight/Comment
1/17 - 183.0 played 2hrs of volleyball yesterday and I was fairly good with my food. I definitely got my protein in - which is main macro goal.
1/18 - 183.3 kinda bummed it went up, but I'll keep going.
1/19 - 182.1 yesterday I worked out (I do Linn Lowes plans) and added an additional 15 min on the treadmill at an incline while waiting for my partner to complete their workout.
1/20 - 182.0 stressful and long day of work yesterday, but still managed to get my workout in. Hoping to be a bit better food wise (I definitely stress snacked) today.
1/21 - 181.3 I was a little surprised for this drop, yesterday was a rest day at the gym. I'll take it though. I'm getting closer to getting below 180.
1/22 - 182.1
1/23 - 181.3 Forgot to post my weight yesterday, but hopped on the scale today and was pleasantly surprised that it came back down. Maybe my goal should just be 180 for this round. I've got volleyball and a few gym days ahead so maybe I can drop another pound.

Round 175 (107th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine. Here we go again, I prove time and time again, round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow! Would like to lose a pound this round.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
1/17 136.2 – 11.8 miles walked yesterday, calories & all macros in credit.
1/18 137.2 – 11.03 miles walked, calories under, but on reflection not the best choices as carbs & fat 19 & 15g over respectively.
1/19 138.6 – ugghhr !! bad choices yesterday, big binge . 9.92 miles walked yesterday.
1/20 138.2 -13.25 miles walked yesterday & an hours yoga. Good food choices, calories & all macros well under. Should try to remember it takes twice as long to undo a binge than to do it !
1/21 137.8 – good choices yesterday, 288 calories & 108 carbs over due to no structured walking; travelled up to spend day with DD & little DGSs – we played !! It was wonderful!
1/22 139.6 – oh my giddy aunt!!! Should have expected this really, Indian meal out with friends last night; high sodium/fat/carbs which are difficult to calculate calories etc. & also ate after 9 pm. 8.25 miles walked yesterday including to and from the restaurant.
1/23 138.8 – 9.45 miles walked yesterday, calories 5 over, but carbs 45g over, need to work more on carbs now I think.
1/24 137.2 – 6.58 miles yesterday, calories well under, carbs just 8g over, all other macros in credit.

Total weight lost: 8 lbs (15/01)
I started the 52 lbs in 52 weeks challenge 5th January and it's been going great so far 😊 but I can already feel my resolve slipping and having got to goal weight before I had my kids I know how important these first few weeks are! So I think I need the daily accountability to keep me on track right now.
Round #1 SW 197.7 lbs
17/01 197.4 lbs
I allow myself a cheat meal at the weekend and I had a muffin yesterday so wasn't expecting a massive difference. I'm only aiming for 1 lb a week so very happy with this start!
18/01 197.0 lbs
I'm surprised at this. Yesterday was a Covid-19 isolation nightmare! We're all ill, kids obviously couldn't go to nursery and a small glass of red wine and cookie was my answer 😂 ToM also started today... maybe the stress burned the extra calories 🤔 Thankfully our PCRs came back negative this morning so feel like I can get back on track!
19/01 196.0 lbs
Yesterday was less stressful and the kids are back at nursery today but I'm still feeling pretty rough. Managed to stay under my daily calorie goal but with it being the ToM I was worried about water weight so was happily surprised to see a big daily loss. Going to work hard today to maintain it 💪but am trying to psychologically prepare myself for when the losses slow/stall so I don't give up!
20/01 196.6 lbs
I've had a slight gain but totally accept this is normal when you're weighing daily and my overall trend is a loss so not freaking out - yet 😄 I stayed within my calories so will trust the process!
20/01 196.6 lbs
I've stuck to my calorie goal so hoping for a drop soon 🤞 although I'm still on track for my weekly loss so maybe I need to reframe and be happy with a maintain 🤔
20/01 196.6 lbs
Are my scales broken??? I've stuck to my calories 🤷🏼♀️
20/01 196.8 lbs
What is going on? I stuck to my calories and I was pretty active yesterday (over 15,000 steps). Was one small glass of wine 🍷 enough to cause water retention 🤔
20/01 196.0 lbs
Phew!!! Was starting to worry there as I'm staying within my calories. I guess weighing daily is going to really show my water fluctuations.
2 days to go 🤞 good luck everyone!12 -

Day/Weight/Comment
1/17: 216.8 - I'm coming off three days at maintenance and eating pretty much anything I wanted (planned for, I eat at maintenance on Fri, Sat and Sun) and deficit Mon-Thurs.
1/18 - 215.0
1/19 - 214.8 - Under calories yesterday but ended up eating out and having Chinese food with probably lots of salt and sugar, so was pretty happy to be (slightly) down this morning.
1/20 - 213.8 - Bang on my target calories yesterday but managed to sneak some treats in within that target.
1/21 - 212.8 - another day bang on my calories. Friday's are usually my lowest day of the week - because I eat at maintenance on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, this should creep up between now and Monday, and hopefully begin to fall back again from Tuesday.
1/22 - 214.2 - Not surprised. I ate at maintenance or just above on Friday (planned).
1/23 - DNW
1/24 - 215.2 - Again, not surprised. I tend to lose Monday to Thursday, and gain Friday to Sunday, with the aim being to lose more than I gain overall. This represents 1.6lb loss since last Monday which is ahead of my goal of 1lb a week.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 - 148 - This has to be due to some extra salt this weekend. In the meantime, I should get some exercise in today while helping my husband shovel the 13 to 14 inches of snow that fell on our driveway last night. I feel fortunate that I can call out of work today, in my younger years I would have powered through the snow with my rear wheel drive, manual transmission Chevy Chevette.
01/18 - 148 - Back to the office today. Tax season starts this week, so that means long hours, weekend work, and company bought lunches. I'll do my best to stay on track.
01/19 - 146.5 - I expect a little bounce tomorrow, but it's good to see I'm trending in the right direction.
01/20 - 146.5 - I've been really good about tracking my food. I need to keep it up and maybe I can get down to 146.
01/21 - 147 - I'm a little disappointed about the bump up considering I've been keeping on plan. However, my weight last Friday was 149.5, so I'm still doing OK.
01/22 - 147 - We had pizza last night so I pulled out my food scale to make sure I had an accurate amount for my food diary. Brrr, it's cold outside. It was -2F right before I left for work today. I hope everyone else is keeping warm.
01/23 - 146 - I had a catered lunch at work yesterday and then I came home to sausage corn chowder and beer bread my husband had made. I expect a bump in the scale tomorrow, but I didn't go too far over my maintenance calories and I'm back on track today.
01/24 - 146 - Work from home today due to a power outage in my office building. I need to treat today like a workday eating day, instead of a weekend splurge day.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 - 203.3 - Maybe this is the round to go below 200? I don't know. We're close to tax season so my losses are going to slow down even more but I won't give up. I will do 30 minutes of cardio and some strength every day. My wife says I don't have anything left to lose so that's good at least lol.
01/18 - 202.8 - This morning I woke up early, did a stretch, 30 minutes of strength and 40 minutes on the bike. I feel like at this point I have to believe my diet is what's holding me back from 200 so I have to reassess that I guess. It's sure not lack of exercise... I've been snacking more than I should at night and not keeping track of calories so have to tighten that up.
01/19 - 202.2 - Woke up even earlier today to get more done but still have time to spend with my pups before I had to leave for work. Definitely ate light yesterday and worked hard yesterday and this morning so theoretically I'm doing the right thing.
01/20 - 201.5 - I think the shake-up of my workouts are really helping this number come down. My body got used to just doing bike rides every day and now I'm doing more and it seems to be working. This morning I did a 10 minute core workout and then my first 45 minute "bike bootcamp" and man that was hard. Starting to really love exercise!
01/21 - 201.2 - Happy to see another day down in weight. I know Monday will probably be an uptick because it's my last 2 day weekend until April so I am going to enjoy it. I'm also going to workout hard because I have the time. Planning on at least an hour of rides tomorrow and then some strength classes. Food was pretty good yesterday minus the one donut I had but that's life sometimes you treat yourself.
01/22 - 201.6
01/23 - 205.9
01/24 - 203.3 - I'm going to say that yesterday's weigh in was an outlier. However today's is real and I just have to stop drinking on weekends. Just destroying all progress I make and for what? To be sick the next day? I did all of my weight loss without a drink and now I drink and just feel awful about everything. Skipped working out yesterday because I had a headache. Slept horribly. I just need to go sober AT LEAST until I reach my goal.

YOU CAN’T WALK YOUR WAY OUT OF A BAD DIET. Last year I walked over 500 miles and still gained weight.
Losing weight will help me -
…feel healthy and strong again.
…fit comfortably into my work clothes.
…slide on a pair of jeans.
…hike in the spring.
…look good for my daughter’s high school graduation.

I let the weekend run away with me (berry cobbler!), but am back on track. All good!

Yesterday was a good day despite the sleet. Now to rinse and repeat!

Okay, now to keep moving this direction! Feels tortoise slow, but we know who won the race, right? 😁

Another good day. I really wanted a snack while watching a movie, but I refrained. Yay me!

What’s your favorite soup recipe? I’ve been making soups every Sunday since New Year, and am going to try to keep it up with a new soup each week. So far, I’ve made minestrone, mulligatawny, and cabbage soups. I’m looking for this Sunday’s fare as we “speak.” Just curious about other people’s favs!
1/22 - 178, 177.9
Well, that bump makes no sense—my calories have been below goal for 5 days. Weird. But my average is going down, so yay! Happy Saturday, all!
1/23 - 178.4, 178
Well, this makes no sense since my calories have been below goal for over a week. Salt? Maybe, but we don’t use much salt in our cooking. I did bake oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for DH yesterday and ate one, but that couldn’t do it. Oh, well. Today is soup day—I’m making Moroccan harira soup with chickpeas, green lentils, lots of veggies & a variety of spices. Can’t wait to try it! Now off to play in the snow with the pup, and then I hope to get some writing done on this cold, snowy Sunday. Have a good one, all. Stay warm!
1/24 - 178.6, 178.1
I was feeling very disappointed yesterday, and ate a bit extra (cookies). Still down this morning because my weight is up, so I went to Happy Scale and looked back and realized I’m down 11.4 pounds since 6 months ago, which is nearly 2 pounds a months. Not so bad. Sometimes we need to step back and take the long view. 😁

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.

SW RND 175 118.0
1/17 119.5 Great Greek salad and 4 oz gyro meat. NO PITA My daily TC were 8g - all from the salad (3 from the meat)
1/18 118.5 Finished Greek salad TC 15, slightly under in protein and over on fat
1/19 118.5 TC 19 (13 from slaw, 4 from broccoli) DH took home COVID test supplied by neighbor who inadvertently exposed us as he has a doctor’s appointment this afternoon. It is negative.
1/20 117.5 TC 12g (6 from 3 pc Lindt 95% cocoa dark chocolate) I seem to not be hungry the last few days. Not fasting intentionally but definitely longer periods of not eating. Went grocery shopping-so many empty shelves and bins! I’ve been averaging just over 2200 steps a day for a couple of weeks but yesterday had 3 times that. Maybe I need to walk a circuit at Walmart every day!
1/21 118.0 TC 21g (half from spaghetti squash!) Veggie carbs can get me!
1/22 118.0 TC ?? Golden Corral last night and girls day today with my sewing friends may cause bump up tomorrow
1/23 119.0 TC ?? All snacks were keto (except 2 handsful of popcorn) and my daughter brought a bottle of Fitvine lower carb wine. It was very good. And I ate 1/4 of a Granny Smith apple with Smucker’s natural peanut butter in the evening. Hoping to keep things moving.😉😉😉
1/24 119.0 TC 1 (from cream) had a successful fasting day. Will break fast this afternoon. It’s going to be a long day as I have been awake since 4:15AM.8 -
Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-149
1/17-167-Got a 4 mile walk in, finished quilting a quilt, just need to get the binding on it.
1/18-169-Walked 5 miles, exercised the horse (he and i are both on a roll). Made a creamy pesto sauce for the chicken breast I baked last night. Roasted cauliflower, broccoli and some sliced purple onion.
1/19-167-No walk, but did ride the horse. Had chicken stew and polenta; the stew already had rosemary in it, so I added some to the polenta and it was good.
1/20-167-Leftovers from last night, so dinner was heavy. The only exercise was riding the horse bareback, which helps core strength. I’ve been watching videos on brain health by Dr. Daniel Amen and he uses a natural approach and it is refreshing
1/21-168-Healthy dinner, but had cheese, then popcorn for a snack in the afternoon. Lots of errands today.
1/22-167-Super windy here, no horse and no exercise. Today will be much better.
1/23-DNW-Spent the day stretching, woke up stiff from the 50 lb. dog tripping me the night before. I feel really good now though! I’ve got a quilt 3/4 done and the sun is out. Last Monday, I started seeds in foil loaf pans that I will transplant from, and a bunch of them are already coming up!!
1/24-169-Cooked fish, just a bit salty.4 -

1/17- 199.0 (-1.0) A new low today. Weight loss has slowed a bit, but averaging 1.2 pounds a week (per Happy Scale) I’m glad I log my weight everyday, otherwise I’d think I was plateauing. Orange Theory Fitness was good yesterday. I’m so much stronger. It surprises me every time. I usually go once a week and then swim 2x and hike. I may add one more OTF workout in each week. That might get me losing a little more. No organized exercise today, but I have a busy day so It’s easier to stay on plan.
1/18- 199.2 (-.8) I wore a pair of 16W Levi jeans yesterday after they sat in my closet for almost ten years. I had to remove the tags finally. They were my “someday” jeans. They are a little snug in the waist so I have a little muffin top, but not so tight that I was afraid the button would pop off and injure someone. It felt so good!! Today is swimming and painting in my studio. Hoping for a downward move on the scale tomorrow. In the 190’s for two days in a row is fabulous!! Now just to get all my water in…
1/19- 198.4 (-1.6) Swimming has been my primary go to exercise and from one of my earliest swimming outings in late July where I swam 22 laps in 57 minutes, yesterday I swam 72 laps in 69 minutes. (72 laps is 1800 yards or just over a mile!) In 2022, I’m hoping to improve my speed to 72 laps in 60 minutes or less. Today I’m focused on painting with no organized exercise planned.
1/20- 198.8 (-1.2) I got a lot done yesterday. I love days when things just flow. Today, I’m back to the pool and visiting a friend at her art studio. Making progress on the painting front.
1/21- 197.4 (-2.6) Nice!! Swimming was great yesterday. I have breakfast with a friend this morning and will probably have my indulgence meal for dinner tonight. I’m expecting a bump tomorrow before it falls back off. I’m so excited that every day of this challenge so far has been under 200 pounds. I’m getting there!!
1/22- 198.4 (-1.6) Yesterday was my indulgence meal, so this isn’t unexpected. Today I’m back on track. No organized exercise, but plenty of water.
1/23- 197.6 (-2.4) My sister and I planned to hike today and we took the dogs. There was just a bit too much snow and their feet were getting cold so we ended up leaving and finding another location where there were cleared sidewalks. So, we didn’t burn as many calories, but it was nice to get out. I think I need to buy dog booties for the next time. Really watching what I’m eating today and drinking all my water hoping for a new low weight in the next few days.
1/24- 197.0 (-3.0) My new low! I’m feeling a little more confident that I might have left the 200’s forever. No organized exercise today, so I’ll stay on plan and drink all my water.

I was out of town last week, and I haven't been recording my weight. But I'm back today!
The last 2 or 3 rounds, I've ended 0.2 lbs higher than my starting weight. I want to change that trend!
I'm a 5'7" female in SE Michigan. I'm in my 50s.
My goal: be at a lower weight after 10 days than I was at the beginning.
HW: 163 (July 2021) - not the highest ever, but the highest in recent history.
UGW: 142 (but I'll be happy with 150 for now.)
Round 175 Goal Wt: less than SW

Day/Weight/Comment
1/17 259.8 Happy to be in the group! This weekend was tough. I always seem to struggle with getting my water in on weekends. Below on calories every day though, including today. I guess we’ll see what tomorrow morning shows us.
1/18 259.2 Back to work today. Post-COVID I am working completely remotely, which doesn’t help my already sedentary self. Meals are planned. I’m going to try taking a lunch break and doing a workout. I think it will be helpful for my physical and mental health.
1/19 259.0 I did 15 minutes on the elliptical yesterday. Better than nothing, right? Meals for today are planned and I have a bodyweight workout on tap for lunch.
1/20 259.2 Bleh. Ended up running through the grocery store at lunch instead of working out, in preparation for a possible winter storm. Possibly could have counted…but I’ll be back on the elliptical this evening. Meals are planned, drinking water.
1/21 258.6 Feels good to see the scale tick down a bit. Got on the elliptical yesterday and my knee was hurting so stopped after a few minutes. I did something to my knee a couple of months ago and it still bothers me a fair amount. Time for a doctor’s visit, I guess. However, it doesn’t bother me to walk, so walk I shall! My son heads back to college tomorrow so we’ll have his favorite pot roast tonight. All meals planned and hoping for some snow this afternoon/tonight.
1/22 257.8
1/23 258.2 (thanks, pizza)
1/24 257.8 Hooray! Lots going on this weekend; I did weigh and log every day, just didn’t post. Kept up my water and got some steps in. Meals for today are planned and logged.

Hi, I'm Jen!
Female, 5'9"
Highest weight: 08.18.2021 235 lbs
Round 172 SW: 12.17.2021 200.2 lbs
Round 172 EW: 12.27.2021 197.4 lbs (-2.8)
Round 173 EW: 01.06.2022 193.8 lbs (-3.6)

Round 175 GW: 01.26.2022 188 lbs (-2.2)
01/17: 191.2 lbs (+1.0)
Goal this round is to kiss the 190's goodbye and get closer to the weight my drivers license thinks I am!
Have a pinched nerve in my hip so took a rest day yesterday. Missed the gym but got out for a walk.
01/18: 191.0 lbs (-0.2)
Changed my goal for the round from 1.2 to 2.2 pounds. Think it's totally reasonable once I get past this little bump up.
01/19: 190.4 lbs (-0.6)
Getting closer to 180s! Felt more in control this week. I upped my calories 100-200 a day so was worried that loss might slow down, but so far so good. Still trying to figure it out.
01/20: 190 lbs (-0.4)
Finally under my round starting weight! My strength training class was canceled last night so went to the gym and did my own workout. Not as much fun, but I'm proud of myself for not using the canceled class as an excuse to sit on my butt and watch TV.
01/21: 191 lbs (+1.0)
Can't explain this one. Thought I was heading down again. It will come. Just disappointing.
01/22: 191.6 lbs (+0.6)
I don't understand what's going on.
01/23: 190.6 lbs (-1.0)
Guess I'm just going to bounce around a lot before I hit the 180s. Same thing happened before onderland so maybe I'm psyching myself out!
01/24: 190.6 lbs (0.0)
Well. Unless something drastic happens in 2 days, I won't make my goal this round. At this point I'd take staying even!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/16 …..193.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/17 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 193.0) I just couldn’t get full yesterday and no TMI today. I hope tomorrow is better. Good luck everyone this round!
01/18 …..193.8 ….. Trend weight 193.0) Good meals but too much grazing during the day. Extra hungry for some reason. Today there will be more work on the living room reno project. This project will last several weeks. No room. Furniture covered and in the center. No privacy again. However, the dining room turned out nice and the living room will be an even bigger impact! Glad to be getting some of this out of the way during the cold snowy and icy months. I will need some alone time to leave the house to walk when the weather gets better.
01/19 …..193.2 ….. (Trend weight 193.1) Well, this certainly proves that results, good or bad, are not always reflected the very next morning. I had a bad eating day yesterday for sure. Yet the scale is down. Very low steps, practically no water. Very bad sleep, disrupted. Busy, busy day. Yet the scale is down by slightly over ½ pound. This must be a result of the past couple of days where my meals were more planned and within my limits. I suspect the scale will creep back up because of yesterday’s fiasco. I’ll work on a good day today.
01/20 …..192.6 ….. (Trend weight 193.0) Not a perfect day dietary wise, but more improvements made in choices and quantities. Very little movement as it is still restricted. Only 7000+ steps. I’m going to focus on water today. I haven’t been drinking enough. Glad to see that scale dropped, but also that my trend weight has turned around a tidbit and going down instead of up finally.
01/21 …..193.0 ….. (Trend weight 193.0) More lack of movement yesterday and not as much water as planned. However, my quantities of food were excellent. My choices were very good. Proud of my day except for that late night piece of pumpkin pie with Cool Whip. It was very rich and heavy so the piece was not large but it still did it’s damage apparently or this is a carry-over from a couple of days ago when I overate and just couldn’t get full. Either way, I need to stay consistent!
01/22 …..193.6 ….. (Trend weight 193.1) WTH? I had an excellent (but low exercise/movement) day! I was within calorie. Scale up, trend weight up slightly but fat % the same as yesterday. The only thing I can think of is that I had pasta for dinner although within calorie. Low 5000+ steps. Ugh. Not too much I can do about that yet.
01/23 …..196.0 ….. (Trend weight 193.1) WTH????? Okay, I know how to play this game and THIS doesn’t make ANY sense! I did have Chinese carry-out for dinner brought in by daughter so I expected a bump up even though I drank extra water and I only ate half leaving leftovers for today, but the rest of my day was very good. It has to be the lack of exercise. This project is not yet half finished . My poor grandson is trapped upstairs and I’m trapped down. I’ve got to use the steps today for some extra movement.
01/24 …..194.4 ….. (Trend weight 193.5) Confused. Didn’t understand yesterday’s upswing. I don’t understand today’s loss. Normal dietary days with the calories being nearly the same. Lack of exercise both days. No change in TMI. Go figure! I woke up starving today. Today will be a challenge.
01/25 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
01/26 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
