    RND 226
    Welcome everyone! <3 This round I’m focusing on hitting my protein goal and keeping sodium low. I’ve set an incentive for myself on my long-term weight loss goal: I’ve wanted to get a tablet for a long time but couldn’t afford it. Going to set aside some money and if I can stay below 150 for more than 2 weeks, I’ll get one! Here’s hoping I can coincide with Black Friday and save some money too!

    5’9 Female, LT Goal of 150lbs. ST Goal of 190lbs.
    End of June Goal: Leave the 190s behind for good!

    SW RND 224 - 195
    SW RND 225 - 194
    SW RND 226 - 194

    6/11 - 194     Ugh. No movement between rounds. At least it didn’t go up! Was at a grad party for my cousin yesterday and then had nachos for dinner…. Way over cal. Goal and almost no water yesterday. Today focusing on protein, water, and exercise. Good luck everyone on this round’s goals!
    6/12 - 191 Well I’m okay with that! Did a lot of housework yesterday and was careful about calories. Met protein goal but was high on fats too. Making sure to avoid transfats and saturated fats in large amounts, but tracking those to a high degree will be a future week’s goal. Tonight I’m debating between a hike, a neighborhood walk, or going to the pool for a bit.
    6/13 - 190 Either people need to stop having graduation parties or I need to learn some self control… Okay, it’s definitely the latter! I’m way over calories today and it still 4 hours until dinner, so that’s not too encouraging. It’s difficult to be hyped about a scale victory when the NSVs seem so far off. Going on at least 2 walks today and a lot tomorrow. I need the exercise!
    6/14 - 194 Yesterday was not good food wise and was very not great sodium wise. I’m tired and moody today, and feeling down. Trying to drink my water and eat better today - sucks when you feel sick and want to binge or not care 😅
    6/15 - 191 Bit better than yesterday, but still a bit blah. Drinking lots of water and hoping that I’m not coming down with something. Canceled my martial arts class tonight because my hip still hurts.
    6/16 - 190 Feeling kinda bloated today, so hopeful that maybe this number will come down more in the next couple of days. Still not feeling great, so water, water, water…I've been good about breakfasts and lunches and then end up throwing away dinner plans for something that is easier to cook - and worse for my body...
    6/17 - 190 Went on a light hike this morning, spending the rest of the day relaxing in between laundry loads. Will either do some yoga or go on a walk after dinner. Need to finish strong!
    6/18 - 190 We’re leaving immediately after church today to go camping on the other side of the state; won’t be able to check in tomorrow (though I will log my eating through the app) Hopefully I can be careful and stay on track for some promising numbers the last day of the challenge!
    6/19 - No Access to Scale Out camping. Ate under calories but not with good things. Mostly bark thins and beef jerky lol. Wasn’t able to drink much water as the spigot at the campsite was shady and we were driving home most of the day
    6/20 - 189 Glad to see the number down, but I have a suspicion it was water weight. Going to drink a ton and we’ll see how the numbers look tomorrow. Catching up on work after the long weekend and will be deep cleaning the house today, so lots of mental and physical running around to happen. May try to step out for a walk or two as well.

    Previous 10 Days
    (Cliffs notes in color):
    • Mon 06/19: 173.8; +1lbs
      ~ I think I would deem yesterday as a success, all things considered.
      My day looked like this:
      ~ Skipped breakfast and drank my 55oz water as per usual
      ~ For lunch I had chicken wings with keto chips, a side of guacamole and sour cream.
      ~ For dinner at Outback I had French onion soup, Caesar salad(tried to eat around the bread crumbs with those), I DIDN’T have any Bloomin’ onion so that was an achievement on its own. And I ate half of my prime rib. ~ For my “extras” I had two big Michelob ultras and later came home and I tried to absorb some of that alcohol with keto bread, low carb jam and pnut butter.
      ~ The scale still went up, but coulda been worse! It was all basically take out food and I’m sure my sodium levels were super high.
      ~ Could’ve worked out more but I was still pretty active. I cleaned my two bathrooms, played about 10 minutes on Meta Quest. And did about 10 minutes of laps in the pool.
    • Sun 06/18🟩172.8; -.0lbs
      ~ Happy Father’s Day to all the Daddies out there!
    • ~ Today will be filled with temptation going to dinner at Outback with my Dad and family. I do like that I took a moment today and read all of your most recent 06/17 and 06/18 posts. I never give myself enough time to read up on your statuses and I’d like to start making this a habit every few day. It gave me a fresh perspective and a little burst of motivation to finish the weekend strong! Thanks guys!!
    • Sat 06/17🟩172.8; -.7lbs
      ~Friday is always difficult food wise. So I’m glad to see a loss.
    • Fri 06/16🟩173.5; -0lbs
      ~Better then going up
    • *MiniGoal: Under 170(am)/172(pm) Didn’t make my mini goal 🤧I really don’t think TOM helped matters!
    • Thur 06/15🟩173.5; -1.5lbs
      ~ I barely looked at the scale this morning. I just remember NOT feeling disappointment.
    • Wed 06/14🟥175; +1.5lbs
      ~ Just because I can- doesn’t mean I should- deep fry my keto burritos in oil🤷🏻‍♀️
    • Tues 06/13🟩173.5; +0lbs
      ~ Nothing new of note
    • Mon 06/12🟩173.5; +0lbs
      ~ I made a low carb mixed drink that I think might have had too much heavy cream because I gained on my nightly weigh-in. Otherwise it was a pretty good day of eating.
    • Sun 06/11🟩173.5/175; -.5
      ~ Made good choices
    • SW: 174lbs
      ~ Working on getting ready for Summer vacation Aug. 5th -12th
      ~ Training for Mud Run in Oct
      ~ Been pretty consistent with low carb eating for two weeks now with no cheat days.
      ~ Weighing in morning and night until I figure which one feels more comfortable I’m still going to weigh-in at both times but I’m only going to keep up with the morning progress here
      ~ I’m back here tracking! 😃

    06/18 -196.6- (Trend weight 195.9)

    06/19 -196.6- (Trend weight 196.0) A great day yesterday but I gave in to a little late night hunger and cravings. Luckily I burned extra calories doing some yard work yesterday. I don’t know why my dinners are not holding me over better. On paper, the menus sound perfect for satiety and so do the snacks. I’ve got to figure this out.

    06/20 -196.8- (Trend weight 196.0) Great day. Bad night again. See you next round.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Round 226
    SW 137.0# I went backwards last round. Goals: strength training 3x/week; fast 14 hours min; log each day; hydrate; 136.0#
    6/11 137.0#
    6/12 137.0#
    6/13 136.0# I hit my targets yesterday. It’s the consistency that’s the challenge.
    6/14 135.6# hit all targets
    6/15 134.2# Hit most goals
    6/16 135.0# hit targets but not a bullseye on the hydration.
    6/17 135.4# dinner date, one glass of wine, enjoyed the extra calories but got training and a walk in prior.
    6/18 135.0# hit targets yesterday but again struggled with hydration. It’s hard for me to pound water while on the road. I’d be stopping every 45 minutes.
    6/19 135.6# I did not follow objectives yesterday since I had a concert last evening and planned to indulge a bit. Back at it today.
    6/20 136.2# this blip is blowback from Sunday and of course it comes at the end of the round. On to the round 227!

    6/11 217 My weight has still not recovered from the Chinese buffet on Friday. Hopefully tomorrow. I am very proud of myself today. I found out some life altering news (who I thought was my bio father is not! My life is right out of a soap opera!). My son wanted to get me food as comfort, I said no. Life tip: do not do DNA tests if you don’t want to find out crazy things.
    6/12 216 Almost recovered from the Chinese buffet on Friday. I am hoping for a whoosh today. I am still dealing with big info I learned yesterday. I did not buy wine & I did not eat my feelings. I chatted with my new biological half siblings. Fortunately for my mental health, the person who I thought was my father had no part of my identity. We were not close & he died 10 years ago. The new bio half siblings live quite far away so no pressure. It is still weird, emotionally draining & crazy. I feel for my mother since she married the other guy because she was pregnant. That was a life changing decision that made her life difficult. I know she is mad at her 20 year old self.
    6/13 217.2. I ate Kraft dinner yesterday. Felt the need for carbs instead of protein & veggies. I will do better today as I know it helps anxiety. I do not want to get depressed & I do not want to feel sad. I am not even sure what I should feel. I need to remember that the right food can heal. I do feel a ton of guilt since my mom is over the top sad about my paternity. I feel responsible. Oh well, life can’t always be simple.
    6/14 215.2. If we are keeping track it took 4 days to get back to my pre Chinese buffet weight. I am actually surprised because I ate pizza yesterday. Yesterday was the last day of allowed wallowing. So I wallowed, I didn’t eat veggies or keto. Back to the program today even though I don’t feel better. Lots to navigate as we tell my birth father & the rest of my family. From what I have read it is the secrets that cause depression & anxiety so I will get that over with as quickly as possible.
    6/15 213.8 Look at that. I am going through the biggest trauma/identity crisis of my life and I am not eating or drinking to feel better. I think I really will be successful reaching my goal. Still prepping mentally for an extended summer solstice fast hopefully for the entire next round
    6/16 213 I am still losing & not sure why. I have been pretty sedentary, and ate some banana bread baked by a customer. I have been sleeping more so maybe that is the key. I will take the dog for a walk, go to yoga & clean up my diet & do the meal prep that I normally would have done Sunday. I still feel like I am walking through mud but every one that needs to be told about my DNA has been told. Now the healing can begin.
    6/17 214 I knew it couldn’t last. TOM came to visit yesterday & somehow I woke up heavier than when I went to bed & my ring is tight. I guess my body made water while I slept? Stupid scale & stupid TOM. I am 52, it should be over.
    6/18 215. So weird & frustrating. Whatever. Curse you damn scale!
    6/19 215.8. This is my after a very sweaty hot yoga class. I couldn’t deal with my morning weight. Not sure what is going on. I feel like I had a whoosh last week & now my body is saying. “Hold on! Not yet!” I ate some stuff that doesn’t fit my macros but my calories are not out of control or much different. I will just wait for that whoosh to happen again.

    6/20 217. Whatever 🤦‍♀️ this round was a roller coaster. On to the next one.

    Hi Everyone – Looking forward to another challenge, my 2nd.
    Female, 5’4”, 57 years of age
    HW: 210 (May, 2022)
    CW: 150.2
    GW: still don’t know… hope I’ll know it when I see it in the mirror… chasing a “healthy” BMI first

    Goals: Continue working on same goals from previous round because it seems to have worked!
    Cardio: 8/10 days (only days I struggle with this are Sunday and Wednesday due to lack of time)
    Bodyweight Train: 3/10 days (I can do this on Sunday and Wednesday, but fitting that elusive 3rd workout in has been a struggle)
    Logging Food: 10/10 days (using a food scale every time!)

    SW Round 226 – 150.2
    6/11: 150.4 - so excited to be holding here. Looking forward to maybe even seeing #14x by the end of this round. Have done my 30 minute bodyweight training (went further than I previously have into the workout - YAY), and I added in medium impact cardio for another 30 minutes. I need to meal prep for my week ahead, but groceries have been purchased, so I just need to cook.
    6/12: 150.3 - All good here. Not sure what I'll be doing for cardio today because we are going to get much needed rain. Typically my Mondays are active rest days with a good 30 minute walk after lunch but pretty sure that is not going to happen today, happy that I was able to get some cardio in yesterday. Meal prep was done, food is logged.
    6/13:150.3 - Annual DR appointment this morning. She was thrilled with my weight loss... said she's going to make me a poster child for doing what should be done. Yesterday, I walked in the rain! Yep, got the cardio in anyway. Heading out now for today's walk. Zumba tonight. Food logged.
    6/14:150.3 - The 2nd shingles shot I received at the Dr appt yesterday has kicked my patootie. After a fitful night's sleep (fever, chills, repeat), I woke this morning feeling like I'd been run over by a truck. Headache, body aches, nausea... bleh! I have my food logged, but I am thinking I might take it easy today workout wise, unless I feel better this afternoon.
    6/15:149.2 :) Thanks for the well wishes! I am feeling slightly better, trying to tell myself that my body is mounting this spectacular immune response - LOL! My arm is still red, sore and swollen where the needle went in. Anyway, I did walk yesterday at least. Obviously happy with the scale this morning. My food is logged and my plan is to go to my cardio dance class this evening.
    6/16: 149.3 - Cardio dance last night was an awesome workout! FINALLY slept better than I have all week. Food is logged. Totally raining outside, not sure how that will impact my after lunch walk, but it's not looking promising. Maybe it will stop by then. Happy for the weekend!
    6/17: 149.6 - Not going to stress over this. I am staying on track, logging and getting my exercise in so this is most likely just a normal fluctuation. Again, I walked in the rain yesterday... well, it was damp, but it wasn't actually raining, so no biggie. My walking group crew all bailed on me though, so I walked it alone. So glad I did it! Have already done my 60 minute Zumba this morning. Getting ready to meal plan, grocery shop. My wedding ring is falling off so I'll be re-sizing that soon. I guess I should wait until I reach some type of goal weight. Have a great day everyone!!!
    6/18 - DNW - Not sure what happened here... was getting ready to weigh and post, got distracted, and then the day was over :/ !!! Hope all had a wonderful Sunday. I did do my bodyweight exercises and some light cardio, meal planned, but it's not really a meal prep type of thing... we'll see how it goes actually trying to make something each day. I did roast some chickpeas to eat as a crunchy snack throughout the week.
    6/19: 149.8 - Again, no insight into why the scale is going up... but I am still doing what needs to be done. Eating properly, healthy, weighed foods, drinking water, black coffee, logging my food, doing my workouts. I'm going to keep going, remembering that this is not a linear journey. Today, I am hoping my walking crew won't bail on me because it is HOT here, but if they do, I will walk anyway. I need to go back and read all of the posts for the last couple of days... again, YIKES!! I feel so behind...
    6/20: 149.4 - I'll take it and smile! :D Work yesterday and today has been CRAZY!!! I still need to go and read everyone's posts for the last couple of days because I want to see how you all are doing, but this dang work thing, it's really interfering with my personal life. I did walk yesterday in the heat - spoiler alert - it didn't kill me. I already walked today. Logged my food. Heading to 60-minute cardio dance class after work. All good here. Making my lunch each morning (I toast a multigrain sandwich thin and I fry an egg in olive oil to go on a sandwich with spinach, sliced tomato and a little bit of feta cheese), has been more difficult than I imagined. I am doing it, because that is my plan, but after cooking and then needing to clean the dishes, it's been challenging to get out of the house on time. I like the sandwich, and am now thinking of switching my breakfast and lunch meals because my breakfast is oatmeal with almond butter and banana and it's typically a reheat (steel cut oats). Just thinking out loud there. So far, I have not eaten my work stress away... I have a healthy snack here in the fridge so there's no need to roam the hallways looking for candy. Looking forward to the next round.

    With my success at getting back on track last round, I will aim to keep the ball rolling with only two simple daily goals: calorie counting and 22 active minutes each day.

    Round 226 SW 162.5 lbs

    6/11: 162.5 lbs
    6/12: 161.6 lbs
    6/13: 161.2 lbs
    6/14: 160.7 lbs
    6/15: 160.7 lbs
    6/16: 160.5 lbs
    6/17: 163.1 lbs
    Why is it when I encounter big social events that I lose all self control? I had a plan going in to it but once I was caught up in the atmosphere of the event, I just dropped my plan and ate and drank whatever I felt like having. I don't even know what I can learn from it to do things differently next time. I enjoyed myself and these big events don't happen very often. I think I just need to leave it behind me and start again today. I showed up here so I will count that as a step in the right direction. I think I will eat at maintenance today because of I try to restrict with a hangover I may end up bingeing again.

    6/18: 162.5 lbs
    I actually stayed at weight-loss calories yesterday and did not eat at maintenance so yay for small wins. I am running out of time to turn this around. I will just keep focusing on my 2 daily goals and perhaps next round I will be back to where I was earlier this round.

    6/19: 162.3 lbs

    6/20: 161.4 lbs
    Well I am not back to the lowest weight I have been this round but I have ended with a 1.1 pound loss so I am happy with that. Onwards and downwards to the next 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!
