JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS | ROUND 5

My knee is still giving me grief (*kitten*!) so I did some upper body work at the gym and then swam a whole kilometre! It's my third time in the pool in years so I was pretty chuffed - and knackered. Think the weight loss might be dehydration. No exercise planned today but lots of salad and protein and staying under the calorie goal of course
Happy Fri-YAY everyone!

This is just what I need
5/23 138.2 lbs
05/24 138 lbs
05/25 138.6 lbs not sure what has happened here thought I was good yesterday, also did 10000 steps and half hour yoga. Hopefully the scales will shift the right way tomorrow. Better start logging my food to make sure I'm being as good as I think.
05/26 138.6 lbs was doing so well until the babies had a rough night due to the heat. Had three chocolate Brazil nuts. When I saw the calories I wished I hadn't. Will know for next time. Seen someone had a good loss due to drinking lots of water. Off now to have a huge glass of water to see if that helps. Something's got to5 -

10 Day Starting Weight: 313
10 Day Goal Weight: 307
Ultimate Goal Weight: 245
I've been changing my eating habits and increasing exercise over the past 2 months and have dropped 21 lbs. However, just this month have I really gained focus and am efficiently losing weight. I monitor my calories on MFP and hit the treadmill every day after work with weights 3 days a week in the morning as well. I too am experimenting with intermittent fasting and am on a 16:8 schedule right now. I'm feeling great and the scale is showing it. Let's do this!
Day Weight Comments
05/23: 313.0 - Expected a good drop from yesterday (1.5 lbs lost) and very pleased.
05/24: 310.6 - Hoped for another good loss and saw one! I stay tremendously hydrated throughout the day but realize some of this is water because of how much I'm sweating during my workouts. Either way, very pleased.
05/25: 309.8 - Thought I'd see more off after a good day of exercise and meeting my calorie goal, but anything down is in the right direction!
05/26: 308 - Down we go! I think I've just gotten so fat the weight wants to come off. Haha. Another day of safely under calorie goal with a good half hour of interval running. Tomorrow starts vacation, let's hope I can keep up losing!

05/25 - 140.0 (weight training day yesterday. Nice surprising drop again this morning - although I suspect this is mostly water weight. I decided to concentrate on getting enough protein this week - something I'm not very good at usually. I've done really well so far, but, in order to keep within my calorie total, it's been at the expense of carbs - I read somewhere that 1g of carbs binds to 2g of water, so that'll be why the sudden drop in weight! (It does make you wonder what our 'bodyweight' actually ever is really?!) I've already had enough of tuna, chicken and eggs though - they're making me feel so full! And so thirsty! Not sure I'd be able to keep this up long term.
05/26 -139.2 (YAY! - finally broke through the 140 barrier! Really pleased with this. Determined to keep it up this weekend. Have a good one everyone)

In order to get enough protein, I'm making drinks using water and Quest Protein Powder. I like the Chocolate Milkshake flavor. This brand is low in cal, carbs and sugar. So I get protein without piling on a bunch of other things. It states 4 carbs but net carbs is figured subtracting fiber so it's really only 2.2 -

Good job! 2 -
This is so good for me mentally - knowing others are also working to reach goals and sharing about it - and physically - keeps me working towards getting in better shape. I'm starting at 150, my goal is to reach 148, or less, after the next 10 days. Here we go!
05/23 150 Have a Chia Seed pudding chilling in the fridge: 1/2 cup 2% milk, 1 c water, 1/3 c chia seeds, 1 scoop quest chocolate milkshake protein powder. Been seeing these sorts of concoctions for a while so thought I'd give it a go. Low cal, carbs and high protein. This amt should be good for 3 servings. Entertaining my sweet tooth.
05/24 149.2 Yeah!!! I've been hovering around 150 - 152 for a month and finally broke thru. Now to head to 148. At 71 years losing is more challenging for me then when I was younger - it is for all of us. Avoiding processed foods and sugar just makes me feel better and even if it takes 'til the end of the year to reach goal, so be it.
05/25 149.8 I will celebrate the fact I'm still under 150 and accept the elevator ride that seems to be my body's weight. Had some wine last night so maybe water? Worked with trainer yesterday, my last one for the package I bought, sob, but will continue on as I had my second knee replacement in Dec and need to have the muscles supporting legs/ hips, etc strong. Last night while falling asleep, I was thinking how long it has taken me, since late February, to lose 13 pounds. I'm only averaging a pound a week despite weight training 3x week, 6 days of cardio a week and keeping below goals for cals and carbs. Looked at that way it seems an awfully stingy loss rate. Then, I realized something. 2 more pounds and I'm at 50% of my weight loss goal. Yeah me! Perspective is so important.
05/26 149.6 45 min on ellip and way under on cals, a little on carbs. Feeling good in the body. Know what I mean? Feel stronger and lighter. Not so much gut. LOL Today is gym day. Have appts so may not get in ellip. We'll see. I wish everyone a successful day filled with self loving choices. One of mine? Egg whites with a tbsp of cheese for flavor. Maybe some hot sauce. Life is good.

I don't trust this. My scale was spazzing out.
5/25 - 136.2
had another scale spasm but trust this more. Also my morning weight. I wasn't going to make it home in the afternoon before eating a meal to see weight after finishing up burning last night dinner calories.
5/26 136.6
Could say it was the strawberries and nutella but I know better. I've hit my plateau. This is the point I usually get discouraged over indulge until I hit 140 lbs and start all over again. My willpower has already started cracking. To stay on track this weekend will be tough.2 -
Looked at my macros from yesterday, and I was way over average in carbs and significantly under average on protein.
Gotta start getting creative with my low carb almost-vegan. (Grabbed some nutritional yeast for my cheese-y cravings)

05/20 144.8 Poor choices have finally caught up with me. I'm gonna start what's called 5:2 intermittent fasting. It is petty popular right now and the studies out there are interesting to me. So it's 5 days of eating near 1200 calories with 2 days a week calories only fasting around 500-600 calories. But during the low calorie days I will make sure protein and good fats are included. I know this is low, but I'm gonna see if it doesn't shake up some of my plateau resistance.

05/23. 143.2 So so happy to be down for the count!
05/24. 145.1 ok ok ok ok...way too much wine and celebrating...just when I feel like I'm on a good roll I sabotage myself by overeating and over Drinking! There is a pattern and one that needs to change! I'm gonna be tracking like a mad woman today! Boy does my body ever like the 140's....hoping this is a bit of water weight, tomorrow will tell! I will not be disappointed or discouraged! I'm leaving for vacation in 10 days and would really like to feel good in some of my clothes! The question is...do I want to 'feel' good or 'feel' good? It's a battleground right now! Just trying to say positive! So for me It's time to hit the reset button! It is time to recognize my need to really start over. I'm wiping the slate clean and beginning again by getting my priorities in order and doing what is important for this season. Everything in my past, my choices and my decisions have brought me to this point in my life and I really need to take stock of what I want to take with me into the next phase of my existence and what I want to leave behind, and then do it. Be brave and resolute--that will be my new motto!

I am new to this group (just joined this AM) and only started keto on Monday 5/22 at 167. I have been weighing every day and have been blown away so far. Today was the first day that I didn't see a loss, but I am not complaining...5 pounds in as many days is unbelievable. I understand that it is mostly water weight in the beginning and am under no illusions that I will maintain this drastic of a loss throughout my journey, but I am excited to see what happens! I have two sets of scales at home and have been using one that only measures in .5 pound increments. After today I am going to dig the one out that measures in .2 pound increments to have a more accurate reading. I'm not sure how to set a realistic goal on keto since I'm new to it, but I would love to be at 155 by July 1.

05/25 149.8 See what happens when you picture cockroaches crawling on food!?!?!?!
05/26 147.6. This seems too good to be true. I was even afraid to log it. The scale actually said 147.2. I usually get down to 148.6 and sabotage myself, so this really blows me away. I haven't been below 148 in years. Yesterday I drank a lot of water and walked a lot. I stayed within my calorie goal. My back is still tender, so I'm resting it. Yesterday was also my son's 12th birthday. I only had the slightest bite of cake.

@YouGotThis435 you got this....even through this long weekend!! You have been such a great encourager to many...so let's encourage you! The pattern you have to sabotage yourself when you reach a plateau is very similar to what I experience--I hate it too, but look at it this way--you are far better today than you were months ago! Be proud of your past accomplishments! You're doing great!3 -
Just finished eating leftover pizza for breakfast. My goals over the next 10 days are to - a. go to the gym 3 times a week b. check into MFP every day.
05/23 - 142 Just finished eating leftover pizza for breakfast. Plan to eat a healthy lunch and dinner; go to yoga in the evening and a quick circuit training at the gym.
05/24 - 138 I must have been bloated yesterday. This isn't good news because I know I am losing muscle and I haven't been very active because I broke my toe. I know this isn't an excuse because there are plenty of exercises I can do with my foot in a boot. I did go to the gym but not yoga and instead went for a long walk. I ate healthily the rest of the day.
"Motivation helps you get going, changing habits gets you there."
05/25 - 140 This is great! I can feel that just going to the gym 2 times already my body is remembering what it's like to be strong again - I definitely feel achy as well. I treated myself a little more than necessary yesterday but I'm not beating myself up about and I'm making healthy choices today. Yoga tonight!
05/26 - 140 I've noticed I'm still bloated. I've been very stressed out lately. Luckily I did make it to yoga yesterday but it's really hard to do with my toe broken. I can tell that my body has been really happy about me being more active so I'm grateful for the quick changes. I have to stay motivated to continue going to the gym/yoga versus just eating less. It sounds nice to weigh 135 pounds but if I have no muscle and I feel weak, than I'm not reaching my goal. I want to feel strong and solid. One more week of persistence and focus and I know my body will adjust and my stress levels will go down.
Happy Friday everyone!!

Encouraging Word...
I've been trying to break free from oppression on various levels for so many years and it's been sabotaging my health journey. I tell you truthfully that I am ready to now do that. Break Free! To do it, I must be honest with myself and others in an authentic expression of who I am on the inside of me! I must not compromise my values by trying to fit into a mold fashioned by what others deem to be acceptable. Being free to be me!4 -
05/23: 321.6 - continuous drop on the scale. This is because I have just re-started and portion control was never my friend. I'm done yo-yo dieting and I'm determined to make this stick and reach my goals! This group is motivation, thank you all for being here and especially to OP for starting this challenge
05/24: 320.4 - I am surprised and not by my drop on the scale this morning because I was a bad girl and ate Wendy's for supper last night. I guess I didn't retain as much water as anticipated, hooray! On the other hand, I have a lot of weight on me and as long as I am eating my deficit I do expect to drop (I realize this slows as you get closer to ultimate goal weight).
05/25: 321.0 - So, wing night happened last night. Need I say more?
05/26: 320.6 - Back again! It's time for me to get serious about this and stop messing around. Focus!

05/23. 251.6 got back from my sister's graduation weekend celebration and weight is about 3 lbs up. Im excited to get back to a routine of exercise and calorie deficits! Have 61.6 lbs to lose to my first re-evaluation of health metrics and im hoping to be there by my birthday next March. On June 1st, I'd like to be at 247.6. may be too ambitious but im hoping to lose some water weight...we'll see!
05/24 249.2 Yay, weight is coming back off from sister's graduation. Going to be super active today and maintain a strong calorie deficit.
05/25 249.0 Have not had a good workout session since I got back from the family festivities. Will get in a good session today. Despite that, I'm happy for the downward trend.
05/26 251.4 Arrghh I have a dietbet ending in like 10 days and this! Even though I ate what I think is less than my calorie goal for yesterday. It's time to not have anymore starches, and time to drink a gallon of water/day. So when I chek in tomorrow morning, that's my goal. I'll have drunk a gallon of water and not indulged in starches.
