Day/Weight/Steps/Active Minutes/Comment
8/25 - 161 - 21,400/143. Need a good sleep.
8/26 - 161.1 - 19,000/112. Surprise attack on the big city and the weather has turned cold ish. Hope to get lots of walking in and maybe some shopping. Dinner with my brother a couple times. I did well yesterday was hoping for a good scale read. Oh well I’m destined to get there!! Maybe I’ll use his scale but it’ll be after meals, coffees and possible treats & wine!
8/27 - DNW - 20,000/83. Found a scale for yesterday. Not a good sleep at all. Time to get up and find some coffee. Hope for lots of walking.
8/28 - DNW - 15,100/54 - Bought a size 8 Lulu pants and a size 6 Jacket. It's possible that I purchased the jacket because of that 6.
8/29 - 163.7 -15.600/50: Busy weekend got home at a good time and did laundry and a clean up. Didn't plan meals well and ate a small bowl of salt water taffy, just kept eating them. So had a higher calorie day then usual. A couple lbs up due to wine and more carbs then usual plus that taffy incident. Back on plan today and I am fine with this I will enjoy special times out and a cocktail here and there. I ... JUST ... HAVE ... TO .... REALIGN ... AFTER.

8/30 - 165.9 -10,700/65. No second walk. Super tired and had a lot of salty snacks, didn't track well assume calories were high. Just so tired, achy back muscles and eye allergies? Bloated SO is home so calorie intake will be off

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. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

Day/Weight/Comment
8/25: 132.5 - Hmm, I seem to always start the rounds pretty well. Yesterday was a good day of workouts and good eating. Still need to work out getting to bed earlier.
8/26: 132.9 - A little bit of late night eating…
8/27: 134.0 - Yikes! We had nothing in the house to eat so we ended up getting falafel salad takeout. Got both my workouts in.
8/28: 132.9 - I don’t feel like I ate particularly well, but a lot of it was nibbles here and there. Got both my workouts in and slept in quiet late today.
8/29: 132.9 - Neighborhood block party/potluck that was well attended. Got to meet many of the new families that have moved in recently. Today will be prepping for a dinner party that we’re having tomorrow at our house. House is in good shape, so mainly figuring out what food I need to get ready for and what my refrigerator/freezer can actually hold!
8/30: 132.7 - I don’t feel like I deserve even this little/tiny drop on the scale since I ate a lot of junk yesterday. I had a couple of mishaps in the kitchen (I.e. had to remake a cake and even then screwed up the re-make) in preparation for having some friends over tonight. I should just throw the stuff out, but my husband doesn’t think it was that bad and is eating it. I had to balance prepping as much as I could with how much I could realistically fit into my refrigerator - it’s like jenga in there.

I did not earn this. I’ll take it for all the times I earned a drop I did not get. The good thing about starting today a bit bloated, is that if I focus on calories and steps, I could get all the way to the 130’s by tomorrow.
8/28 140.3(-.8)
Back to where I was a week ago. I had a flue all week that just made me exhausted and sugar craving. I did not keep up with my steps or my calories
8/29 139.9 (-.4)
Hooray! A new decade! Round Goal!
Finally feeling like myself again. Got 13k steps and only 8 calories over.

Did my calories and steps yesterday. Happy with the momentum of this round.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• 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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

I have done this challenge before and it really helped keep me on track to healthy living. I have since gained most of that weight back (and then some) but I'm not discouraged. I am a 21-year old varsity college athlete who is just looking to lean up a bit - taking small goals at a time as weight-loss isn't my goal - just trying to lean myself into a healthier lifestyle.

8/25: 189.4 - just can't seem to break 189...
8/26: 188.4 - wondering if I'm entering too large of a deficit to lose, finding it difficult as I burn around 1,000 calories during training camp a day to eat enough to even come close to a -250 cal deficit, it's always usually around -1000 cal
8/27: 187.6 - finally dipped back down to that number I saw in the last challenge... now the goal is to maintain it
8/28 - 187.2
8/29 - 187.6 - haven't posted but weighed - not bad considering I binged last night

8/27 174 - barely moved yesterday, hard to track when you are guest at someone’s house. I would assume I was not accurate since I was barely over. So close to my 10 day goal. Kinda shocked, but knowing that plateaus are coming my way. It has to be the water weight and the significant calorie in take drop.
8/28 174. Not surprised…had a lovely dinner, homemade beef stroganoff. Next time need to have a side vegetable in addition to the salad so it’s not such a big portion. But ooh was it delicious. I am finding 1200 calories hard. I know some people do an off day, but I feel like that is a slippery slope at least now.
8/29 172.8 seriously this early luck is great. Somehow I need to learn to multitask…track and exercise. That will be the goal for next time!

8/25 / 162.6 / Good day at work yesterday, ate lighter than normal so I had a larger supper. Made sure to get my 10,000 steps.
8/26 / 163
8/27 / 163.4 / After an exhausting week at work, I'm at the lake relaxing for the weekend. Husband and I had a lovely campfire last night. I am going to pressure wash the outside of our trailer today.
8/28 / 163.4 / Pressure washing the trailer and our outside deck and furniture got me almost 6K steps and then I took my dog for a walk. Husband made ribs for us and our neighbors for dinner so I had late breakfast and then saved up for that meal. It was tasty!
8/29 / 164 / Rode the Peloton after work and it felt really good after a crappy work day.
8/30 / 164.6 / Stayed downtown after work to have drinks with a couple of my friends. Supper was therefore quite simple. Walked my dog when I got home. Lots of change at work so just putting one foot in front of the other.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 197 ( my 129th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.

Goal this round again is to lose. We go on holiday in 2 1/2 weeks! No binges, keep within calories & macros.

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 then 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
8/25 138.4 - 12.71 miles walked, 50% exercise calories eaten back.



8/26 138.8 – No structured exercise yesterday, took little DGS out to a wildlife park, lots of walking but mostly pushing stroller & forgot to put Fitbit on ankle (doesn't count steps on wrist whilst pushing!), also he did a lot of walking himself – at very slow pace.
I need to get my food addiction under control; it's totally starting to take over my life again & getting of that spiral is difficult. There is not even any reason for this - I am blessed with my life & family being rosey at the moment & we are looking forward to our first holiday abroad since 2019 in 16 days. Come on Phyl, take control, sort yourself out !!!
8/27 137.6 - pleased with that number, treated yesterday as a reset day & totally had perfect , eating feel much better with myself & caught up with sleep. No structured walking as DH & I travelled 4 hours towing or caravan to the coast for a long bank holiday weekend. Aiming to be consistent through ready of round.
8/28 137.6 - lovely sunny day striking down to and along the beach and back to 13.29 miles, ⅓ exercise calories eaten back.
8/29 138.2 - 9.89 miles, walked down to and then along the beach to meet up with family, had a glorious day playing in the sea and sand with all our little DGC (4), the youngest is now officially a toddler, how wonderful to see her toddling about instead of just crawling! They travelled up just to have a beach day with us, previous time to see them all growing up. ½ exercise calories eaten back.
8/30. 138.2 - 17.03 miles walked ! Earned my first Fitbit Cleats badge for walking 40K steps, down to the beach, on to the coastal path and headed off to Scarborough and back. Under ¼ exercise calories eaten back, disappointed no movement on the scales, but I'll be patient!
8/31 138,2 - 6.15 miles walked, travelled back home, but not before we walked down to the beach for last look! ¼ exercise calories eaten back.

SW: 196.8
Goal this round: -3 lbs
8/25 - Did not weigh - My husband and I booked a trip to Disney and we will be leaving on Oct. 15!
8/26 - Did not weigh - Not fully committed, but realized I needed to start working towards a healthier weight.
8/27 - 196.8 - Let's do this! Committing to working out 3-4x a week & making healthier choices
8/28 - 195.2 - I had eaten a pretty heavy meal Friday (8/26) night so I’m sure that is why I dropped so much between yesterday and today!
8/29 - 195.4 - it is hard for me to make healthier choices. Plus I am sick so I’m not working out right now.
8/30 - 193.8
8/31 - 195.0 - this is why I don’t stick with anything 😞 I fluctuate like crazy!

/long bike ride before long drive home./ Now that DW has an E-Bike, I have trouble keeping up with her. She loves it, and actually gets more exercise using it because she isn’t ready to quit early. I like it because we can ride further together.

8/31: 216
/mowed grass/ As you can see, I did NOT do a good job of maintaining. We found an ice cream shop near us that had non-dairy ice cream for DW. I may have had a snaccidental malt a time or two..

Good to be back in the saddle with you all.
