Day/Weight/Comment
9/14 - 199.2 - stayed in plank position for a full minute❤️
9/15 - 198 - Busy day, hit 60% of my step goals ❤️
9/16 - 198 - no change, did pretty good, but the two cookies put me over lol. They were totally worth it, because I know a little treat here and there will keep me on track. Happy Friday 🥰
9/17 197 - busy day, spent most of it painting
9/18- 196.8 - so sore today, but here’s to another week down
9/19 - 197.4 weekend catching up with me
9/20 - 197 Good day, I need to find a more level place to way myself. The scale seems to be fluctuating more than normal. It’s kind of frustrating, because I have only gone over my calorie goal one in a two week period. I know I shouldn’t weigh myself at night, but there is no way my scale should fluctuate 5 lbs in one day. Have a great night.

I place mine in the shower tray first thing in the morning before I dress.

9/14 - 161.7 - 11,100/65 SO is home. Sushi for dinner. Some tummy issues.
9/15 - 160.3 - 12,900/72. Not a good sleep woke up with stomach cramps.
9/16 - 160.3 - 11,100/70. Dinner out with dessert. SO was super grumpy today, lots of work stress going his way and things not running smoothly. I stayed low!! Hope today is better for him and for me. With just .4 to next goal, a weekend and SO home seeing 5's will be a challenge to hit in the next 2 days. Happy Friday!!
9/17 - 160.6 - 11,200/65
9/18 - 161.8 - 9077/36 - Lots of driving and visiting today. Lowest steps in awhile.
9/19 - 161. 6 - 11,500/31- Great day of cleaning up, things have been pretty messy with son and gf in our basement, starting to be able to breath again lol.
9/20 - 159.7 - 17,400/111 - Hooray a 5, now to keep it!

9/21 - 158.5 - 19,300/104 - Feeling energized. Went through my closet and found out I have a lot of jeans and I always think I don’t have any. What I don’t have is Fall work pants. Plus a dislike for most of my tops. Lol. Going to Toronto for a few days soon and need to figure out what to bring and I’m only taking a carry on. Happy my clothes are smaller in volume now.

@joans1976 Got my check on. Thanks for noticing. 🌸 Plus you're doing amazing yourself!!

@reinla I don’t see any 5 pound fluctuations on your post. Are you referring to morning weight versus bedtime weight? That’s only a measure of what you have input and your body needs to process.

If no movement tomorrow morning it may end up being a skip exercise day; I am still not sure WHY missing a day of exercise makes my weight go down???

@reinla I see my scale as a baseline and I watch over time as I can have huge highs and lows. As long as it's in the same place it's giving me a read of how I am doing, comparing day to the next day and 10 days before. It's mostly water fluctuation. You will not lose everyday even if your calories, macros, bathroom stops and zodiac calendar all a line. That's just how bodies work. Look at your trends and try not to stress about it.

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.

9/14 119.0 Finally TMI relief after several days of stress but I ate a small churro with OMAD. Post op doc for DH this morning.
9/15 120.0 We went to Great Greek yesterday. I ate 1/4 pita. Talked with daughter about gluten, she and both of her girls have tried to eliminate it due to the inflammation and bloating. Since I avoid bread in general, I guess I have also pretty much eliminated gluten.
9/16 119.0 Brunch with DD#1 and my BFF. DD flew home last night arriving at her car at about 10:30 then driving almost an hour home.
9/17 119.0 (Somehow I skipped my personal diary entry)
9/18 118.0 Hello 118! Nice to see you again. Today will probably be Great Greek as we have become “one” of the Sunday Regulars and the manager worries about us if we don’t show up. We went to Walmart and Sprouts yesterday.
9/19 119.5 Great Greek yesterday DH played pinocle, today he plans to go to Tripoley. I’m making a rotisserie chicken for dinner and my BFF is going to enjoy that with us.
9/20 119.5 It’s been cooler the last few days - highs in the 90s - and my water consumption has dropped. Getting a haircut this afternoon and will see DGGS who is now 12.5 weeks. He’s changed so much!
9/21 120.5 We went to a Mexican restaurant yesterday. The taco salad tortilla bowl was warm and fresh. I couldn’t resist! I got my water in.

@eaper64 It may not be how much you ate but what you ate. I’m sure my increase is due to having wheat every day. I want a grilled cheese sandwich so I bought sourdough and Muenster. I haven’t made the grilled cheese yet but I will.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/14: 131.4 - Normal workouts and packed most of my calories at the end of the day (not intentional). Stayed up reading way too late, so not that much sleep. I was supposed to get my Covid booster shot today, but the pharmacy cancelled saying they hadn’t received any doses yet. Trying to get it done in time before we travel in October.
9/15: 132.1 - Ended up getting my booster shot when my husband went in for his shot. They were nice enough to squeeze me in. He must not have any side-effects since I hear him exercising right now. I, on the other hand, am doing my best impression of a slug.
9/16: 132.1 - Was down and out all day yesterday with a slight fever and aches so didn’t get any exercise in. Wasn’t all that hungry either until evening. Feeling much better today.
9/17: 131.8 - Another skipped day of working out. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t do any workouts 2 days in a row. Back at it though this morning.
9/18: 131.8 - Back on track again. Got my workouts in, good eating and pretty good sleep. My goal is to keep this up the rest of the round before we head off backpacking when things won’t be as routine.
9/19: 131.4 - Only did Jazzercise in the morning but did not get my walk in since it was raining off and on here. Eating choices were limited since we were in desperate need of a trip to the grocery store. I don’t usually like to go on the weekends to avoid the crowds, but we didn’t have a single thing green left in the refrigerator other than herbs. Luckily, unbeknownst to me, the local NFL football team was playing at the same time I went to Trader Joe’s, so it wasn’t too crowded. :-)
9/20: 131.0 - Can’t really explain the drop. Eating at the very top of the calorie range, normal workouts and poor sleep.
9/21: 131.0 - Ate under my calories (wasn’t hungry). Got my workouts in and fairly good sleep last night.
9/22: -
9/23: -

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 1.3 pounds

Day/Weight/Comment

9/13 - 177.4
I thought I’d see a drop as my calories were very low yesterday—I missed breakfast and didn’t eat much else due to feeling yucky from vaccines. Oh, the mysteries of weight loss!

9/14 - 177.6
I fell of the wagon a bit last night, but that’s ok, back on today. I was hungry. 😁 I just got back from a lovely “sniff walk” with my dog. It’s cool and lovely out.

9/15 - 177.8
Delayed reaction from Tuesday. No problem. Tonight’s my no dinner night because Rory & I will be at doggy school, so that will even out my daily calories. 😉 I’ll hope for a drop tomorrow.

9/16 - 177.8
Nope. But I was on target, so no sweat.

9/17 - 177.4
It’s a gorgeous Saturday and I have roses to plant. I’ve gone a bit rose crazy this summer—highly recommend Heirloom Roses! I’ve been ordering from them and am very happy with what they send! Anyway, mucking around in the garden keeps me from eating, so my report is relevant. 😁 Enjoy your day!

9/18 - 178
Darn it. Partly salt/water. Ok, onward.

9/19 - 177
Okie dokie.

9/20 - 177.2
Got lots of walking on rough ground last night teaching a tracking class and then running my pup on a long track, then really bad foot cramps when I went to bed. I have to remember to take my magnesium! I’ve been slacking off. Also need to stretch more—my legs and feet feel tight. But it was a lovely evening and it was great to be out in the open for a couple of hours with people and dogs. Lots of fun!

9/21 - 178
Boing! I feel like a bouncing ball—down, up, down, up…. Oh, well, as long as the general trend is downward….

9/14 / 171.4
9/15 / 170.4 / Had a good day exploring Sidney yesterday with family and new friends. Today we are going over to my husband's cousin's house for french toast and then we are going to Butchart Gardens.
9/16 / 170.8 / We are on our way East slowly making our way back home by Sunday, but first we stop in Penticton, BC for two nights. On the road now after a fun day that started with high tea, a bus tour around Victoria, and then the ferry ride back to the mainland.
9/17 / 172.4 / Off to bike to wineries today. Not as warm as I'd like, but that might be a great thing when we get working up a sweat on the bike!
9/18 / 174.4 / Driving home today and back to work tomorrow. This vacation has felt amazingly long and I am so thankful. My husband and I made many beautiful memories with family and with each other.
9/19 / 173.6 / Hoping this means yesterday was the peak of my gain from vacation. Time to get back on track. Today was back to work and I made out okay. Got a walk in at work and a short one again after. Food is on track and I'll get on the Peloton after the Bills game.
9/20 / 172.6 / Got Peloton ride #2 of the week in the books tonight.. it was a tough one but I did it! My husband gets back from his business trip tomorrow and I can't wait!
9/21 / 172.4 / Donated blood at lunch today so I'm taking it easy on the exercise front tonight. I did do a lot of walking today so I'm well over my 10,000 steps. Waiting for my husband to get home so we can spend some time together before bed.

9/14 215.3 (avg 216.0)

9/15 216.5 (avg 216.0) I’m up 1.4 pounds from last week. I’ve really lost hold of my momentum and motivation. Starting the day fresh.

9/16 216.6 (avg 216.1) Football game tonight. We always stop for food after the game, so my choices throughout today are going to have to be really good.

9/17 215.1

9/18 216.9

9/19 217.4 (avg 217.1) My girl child is starting intermittent fasting with me today and we are heading out to the gym before school. I feel really tired today. I know it’s because I haven’t been eating well And I’ve been super lazy. As long as I keep trying and don’t give up fully, Something will finally click.

9/20 217.7 (217.3) Well, I’m wide awake at 5:30am ready for the gym. Just waiting for my kid. I did really well yesterday. I stayed under 1300 calories, increased my water intake, hit leg day at the gym. The scale doesn’t reflect that, but I find when I slack off from working out and go back to it, I see a bump in the scale and then a sharp drop. Let’s see if that happens this time.

I’d like to join you all for this round. During a visit to my GP yesterday (for something else entirely) she pointed out that I’m a bit heavier than I should be for my height. Of course I already knew this, but I’ve been lacking the willpower to do something about it. It surely can’t be a coincidence that this challenge is starting on the very day I’m looking for some extra motivation 😊

Day/Weight/Comment
9/14 170.8 lbs

9/15 169.8 lbs It was pouring with rain at lunchtime and I had a choice between going to a fitness/strength training class or sitting in my nice warm office and reading a book. Miraculously, the class won!

9/16 170.4 lbs Ate out at a Turkish restaurant last night after another medical appointment across town. I avoided the bread but did eat most of the fries because the garlic sauce was delicious. I’m probably safe from vampires for a while!

9/17 170.4 lbs Worked from home yesterday so had to make a conscious effort to get my steps in. Quite pleased that I managed to get to just over 15,000, as my step count can be woeful when I don’t walk to the office.

9/18 168.6 lbs Grocery shopping and chores got me to 10,000 steps so I spent the rest of the afternoon crocheting xmas decorations (I’m slow, so I’m starting early).

9/19 167.8 lbs Went for a 7 mile walk early yesterday morning, and it definitely feels like autumn is in the air here. Collected some windfall walnuts on the way – those will be saved for some lovely blue cheese salads.

9/20 168.4 lbs At a work-related conference.

9/21 168.4 lbs Still at the conference, but super pleased with my 2.4 lb loss in this first week since I started logging again.

9/22 167.8 lbs Went to my fitness class at lunchtime again yesterday. Dinner was homemade chicken madras with a naan bread instead of rice.

64 yr young F, 5ft 4 Round 199( my 131st). Thanks again @QuiltingJaine.

The whole of this round I am away abroad on holiday; no scales. I am trying to choose food wisely, portion control & restrict adult beverages to no more than 2 or 3 per day in an effort to refrain from too much of a gain 🤞.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment

9/14 - 150.5
9/15 - 150 - I've been working really hard to get at least 10,000 steps in a day the past couple weeks. That includes joining our county metroparks hiking spree and walking in place at my desk. It has not helped with my weight loss as much as I would have liked, but I am really enjoying getting the extra movement in my daily life.
9/16 - 149.5 - Husband and I walked a 2 mile moderate trail yesterday evening. I am feeling it in my legs this morning. It is a good feeling though.
9/17 - 150 - I had 2 small pieces of pizza last night, so I'm assuming this is sodium. We're planning another hike for today.
9/18 - 150.5 - Went hiking yesterday and got in my 10,000 steps. I've logged all my food this week and have stayed within my weight loss ranges. This has to be more sodium from the steak we had last night. Nothing to do but keep trying. We're going to our local zoo this morning to take a mile and a half walk and check out the animals.
9/19 - 149.5 - After the zoo yesterday, I took two more walks at my local park to get in my steps.
9/20 - 150.5 - I have stayed within my food macros, my calories, and stayed active for the past week. Today I have colonoscopy prep, so if my weight is not down tomorrow, I may have a temper tantrum.
9/21 - 149.5
9/22 - 149 - I was hoping I'd weigh less than this, but I'll take it.

ROUND 197-SW 172, ROUND 198 -SW 170.4

9/4: 170.4 this is the weight i have to report on today. i wish it was higher (dang scale) so when i report next sunday it would look like a loss. there's a neighborhood cookout today. gonna try to stay away from the carbs. and the mixed drinks... good gosh, when i get together with these people they'll always hand me something and say "one little (insert food/drink here) isn't going to hurt ya." i can overcome "one little", but they don't seem to understand there's 30 of them! that's too many "one little's"!

9/5: 169.8 did not log meals yesterday because of the cookout. 99% of the food was especially bad for someone dieting. there was a charcuterie board that had a little corner of strawberries, everything else high fat/high carbs/high calories. my little dip in weight is probably from mega stress i've been trying to deal with which slammed my emotions hard yesterday. this morning the coping skills back in check. i haven't been able to go for walks for some time now. Dr. tells me it's sciatica, but i've had constant pain for over a year now. the pain flares up to a point that i just don't want to move at all. taking anti inflammatory and muscle relaxers is not helping, and my follow-up is not until the 29th. i may end up trying to see him again sooner.

9/6: 169.2 have to take an unexpected trip for a few days. i hopefully should be back before this challenge ends.

9/9:

9/10:

9/11: 168.2 only visited the scale once today, so that's probably not a valid weight. i'm expecting it to be higher once i get back into my regular routine. they had a spring/analog scale where i was at, and it said i was 170. probably more accurate.

9/12: 169.8 another invalid weight. it's afternoon, i've already eaten, and i'm fully dressed. it's an encouraging weight also though, because i've broken all my rules for weigh in and i'm still below 170!

9/13:169.2

ROUND 199
SW: 167.8

Day/Weight/Comment

9/14: 167.8 went 300 cal. over my weight loss, but remained in my maintain. also, went on a chocolate binge last night. feeling pretty guilty about that. i did drink plenty of water, which probably accounts for the loss.

9/15: 166 macros looked like i was practicing keto yesterday. cheeseburgers scheduled for lunch today, with the buns, so i'm expecting a gain. plenty of water.

9/16: 166.2 i need to develop better coping skills. went over in calories by 200

9/17:

9/18: 168.2 this is obviously not my round.

9/19: 167.4

9/20: 167.2

9/21: 165.6 i'm going with "there's no freakin way!". my weights are all over the place, and i have no idea what's going on.

9/22: 165.8

9/23:
