Female, age 60, 5'4"
SW 195 [joined MFP Nov 2015, lost 9.5# & got serious Jan 2017]
1st Goal 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
2nd Goal 145 = normal BMI
UGW Range 140 - 145
I weigh first thing in the morning when I get up. My scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day.10/20/17: Oooh, I like this thread! I've been weighing myself daily since April, keeping track in MFP Food Notes, and logging my "official" weigh-ins on Saturdays. I've been amazed at how much my weight can fluctuate from day to day, depending on eating out or processed foods, adult beverages, net calories green or red, etc. Daily weigh-ins really help me see cause and effect with high sodium days, adult beverages, too much sugar, etc. I don't get freaked out as much by a jump on the scale now, since I know what I did to cause it, and what I can do to change it. My scale measures in 1/2 # increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.Round 20
10/20: 166.0
10/21: 166.5 After vacation day with hubby & eating out for lunch and supper, not so bad.
10/22: 167.0
10/23: 168.5 Ack! Sedentary day, pizza for supper & 3 days too little water.
10/24: 167.0 Drank 15c water and net calories (barely) green.
10/25: 166.0 Back to SW this round. Net calories green 35 & 12c water.
10/26: 166.0 A little surprised....happy hour after work with 1 pint beer, "healthier" pub food & popcorn for supper. Drank 14c water. Fitbit 14,674 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 40 floors.
10/27: 165.0 Fitbit 15,929 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom) & 38 floors. 14c water. Been low on fiber lately.
10/28: 164.5 Fitbit 15,461 steps, 250+ steps 13/14, & 37 floors
10/29: 166.5 Ate way over on carbs and every bite was delicious! I don't care, it was one day.
10/30: 166.0 Very sedentary day (church, visit parents & 3 hour round trip) following high carb day, no surprise. Fitbit 3,888 steps, 250+ steps 5/14 hours & 7 floors. At least I drank 12c water.
10/31: 165.0 Fitbit 13,521 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 48 floors and 12c water
11/01: 164.5 Fitbit 13,993 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 hours (boom) & 40 floors; 12c water

Usually I ignore his snacking, but he was sitting next to me on the couch. I will have to forbid snacking next to me in future. Net calories red > 500 and sodium > 4,600mg oh my! 10c water and Fitbit 15,573 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 hours & 20 floors. Will be drinking lots of water today.

@lbrules Perhaps 6# in 10 days wasn’t realistic? Most sources say 0.5 - 2 pounds per week.
@Gaia85 But that would still be a loss overall, right?
@candchughes What a great post!
@cyranda63 Your final statement to @Leroyoliver is the reason I started calculating my AW per round. It makes a difference to see it drop, slowly but surely.
@swopen I love Keto but have to say it took me about 6 weeks to stop craving bread!
@VisionOfKathleen Round 22 starts tomorrow.

11/5 152.5 Expected. Had 2 Margaritas and 1 bite of chocolate cheese cake. I’ve got this!
11/6 151.5 or 154? Kept switching. Don’t know how I could have gone up, I hardly ate anything. May be lacking in water since it is cooling off here in the desert.
11/7 152
11/8 152.5 Expected. We had Chinese buffet yesterday.4 -

10/30 - 148.8
Interesting (in a good way!). I ate about 200 over my goal yesterday, but most of it in a big lunch out, which no doubt meant more sodium. I had no dinner, but a Kind bar and, late in the evening, a cinnamon raisin English muffin with peanutbutter. I more and more find that eating a big lunch (or breakfast, actually) and then nibbling a few hundred calories later works better for me than "normal" meals. Can't do that every day (hard to get the hubster to go for big lunches at home), but it would be interesting to try a full couple of weeks eating that way to see what happens. Anyway, always nice to start a new round with an encouraging drop! Good luck to all of you!
10/31 - 148.8
Happy Halloween! It's a scary day with all the goodies around -- I'm allowing myself one small Butterfingers from the trick-or-treat supplies. I plan to nibble and savor it. Otherwise pushing protein, whole-grain carbs, healthy fats, and lots of water. Planning a long walk this afternoon before the rain arrives. Have a great day, all!
11/1 - 149
Okay, I had 4 of the little Butterfingers, not 1, and they tasted great! :-) I ate a bit more than usual otherwise as well and I think I'm retaining water, so not surprised. But I happily think I'm firmly in the 40s now, so that's good.
11/2 - 149.1
I expected this (or more), and know a lot of it is water. I had a little splurge last night - spinach feta pretzel at Barnes & Noble and a couple of cookie samples. Also had mac & cheese for dinner, and I'm always up a bit after that. Back on track today and going forward.
11/3 - 149
Slowly, slowly, down we go....maybe I'll get to the 8's this round, but if I stay right here, that's okay, too.
11/4 - 149.1
Sodium. I went out for lunch yesterday and had a reuben and sweet potato fries, so I know I had a lot of salt. I wasnt hungry for dinner, but had a snack later. I went slightly over my goal, but not enough to gain anything but water. Tomorrow!
11/5 - 149
Back on track! I'm hoping for a little drop before the end of the round, but staying here works, too.
11/6 - 149.1
What is it with that .1 lb?
11/7 - 149.2
Sigh. I'm hungry all the time, so keep eating a couple hundred over my goal, clearly at maintenance rather than to lose. So I just did a little research on foods that make us hungry, and find that my egg whites, low-fat kefir, cheese, and guilty daily indulgence of licorice all sorts (!!) are all potential appetite stimulants. I just made a week's worth of low-fat kefir-egg white-overnight muesli breakfasts, so I'm considering how to add a bit of fat to my breakfasts to increase satiety. Anyway, if you're hungry all the time, maybe Google "foods that make you hungry" to see if a diet tweak might help. :-) (And right now I'm sitting in the B&N cafe resisting EVERYTHING but my water bottle!)
11/8 - 149
Okay, down overall from last round. We'll see what happens next!

I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. Want to offset hormonal changes that occur when losing weight for extended periods of time that can make it harder to lose and maintain weight and hoping to elevate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit. Last weekend was my first time intentionally eating at maintenance and not only did my weight basically stay the same, which it should, but I didn't realize how hard it is and how hard it probably will be when I do reach maintenance mode. Let' see how this works.
Day/Weight/Comment
10/30-222.4 Weight basically the same from Friday even though I ate at maintenance this weekend.
10/31--222.6 Did not drink enough water yesterday. Finished W3D2 of C25K and stretched.
11/1--222.0 Did not drink enough water again yesterday. I'm not sure how accurate this weight is today. The first time I stepped on the scale my weight showed up as much lower, so I weighed myself 2 more times and decided to log the middle weight. I will take it as a positive that the highest weight was still less than yesterday's weight.
11/2--222.6 Feeling bloated but not sure why.
11/3--222.0 Up and down and up and down. I've been fighting a throat infection for the last couple of days so that may have had some affect on my weight the last few days, but then again who knows. I just have to remember that I can only control my daily calorie intake and output.
11/4--222.6 The roller coaster continues. Still taking antibiotics for the throat infection. Eating at maintenance today. My goal today is to get my water in.
11/5--222.8 Ate at maintenance yesterday, felt great and I think eating more really helped with my continued recovery from the throat infection. Finished W4D1 of C25K and had breakfast at a great diner this morning. Plan today is to stay hydrated and continue to rest. Eating at maintenance today.
11/6--223.7 Ate at maintenance yesterday. Extra heavy carbs=temporary water gain.
11/7--222.0 I'm more surprised about this number because I feel so boated today.
11/8 --220.9 Weighed myself twice just to make sure. Lowest weight in a year.
R21 Average Weight 222.3

Thank you for the last challenge. I love this and want to keep going. My goal weight is 140 lbs, but for this 10 day challenge I will settle for 148 lbs.

11/1 - 155.6 ARGH... too much Halloween candy!
11/2 - 155.0 Not doing so well this round. No energy to excercise, so that is most likely the problem. Sigh!
11/3 - 154.2
11/4 - did not weigh in
11/5 - did not weigh in
11/6 - 156.8 - The weekend happened. I tried to keep the food to a minimum, but entertaining with friends so...

11/05 - 190.5 Time to buckle down for a few days if I want to reach my goal for the round. It can be done.

11/07 - 189.4 - Can I keep this number and below!? Stressful evening planned! If I can get thru that (which includes a dinner) then there is a chance for tomorrows number staying on goal!
10/08 - 190.7 In the immortal words of Yosemite Sam, "Dagnabbit!" Still lower than my starting weight tho.

This happens.. it really sucks when it happens to you though. Once you see the numbers you know that you can get there. I find if a lower number pops up a few times in a round and doesn't stick it shows itself more in the next round. (p.s. Your last round average was 153, this round average is 152.24)
Thank you for the data and encouragement

Round 21 - CGW - 169 (2.6 pounds)
10/30 - 171.6 - Happy with this weight. No gain overnight.
10/31 - 171.4 - A loss is a loss is a WIN! Staying focused and working hard. Off to the gym to run and lift.
11/1 - 171.6 - Yuck!!! Hanging in there.
11/2 - 172.4 - Ouch! And that's what happens folks when you don't work the plan as you should. I own it and I'm really mad at myself for giving up on me. Today is a new day and new mindset. I expect good results tomorrow.
11/3 - 172.4 - Well I got nothin. Off to run a few miles and lift weights.
11/4 - 172
11/5 - 173.8 - Oh boy, not good at all. I wasn't going to post today because I was too embarrassed, but what is the point of doing the challenge if I'm not upfront about the awful days too. Hopefully better news tomorrow.
11/6 - 173.2 - I'll get there. Not giving up.
11/7 - 171.8 - Now that's what I'm talking about! If I work hard today I just may end this round with a slight loss overall. I was on the fence about running today but this just inspired me!
11/8 - 171.4
Good luck everyone. Remember, only YOU can make this happen!

11/2 167.8 lb night, post workout. Not quite back down to my lowest (Halloween rise) but I'm getting there. Did a crap ton of exercise today (3 hours), I'm pooped.
11/3 168.2 lb midday. Period struck. That probably has attributed to the rise. Just going to keep going as see what happens at the end.
11/4 no scale
11/5 no scale
11/6 168.0 lb night. Kept it stable over the weekend! Hoping to see the number drop again by the end of this.
11/7 166.6 lb night. There's the post period drop I was looking for. The period munchies have all but disappeared as well! Back on track with everything tomorrow.
11/8 166.4 lb night. I just didn't want to workout today. But I made my self go and I did part of my workout. Hated every minute, but I got some in. Some days you just feel like this and need a break from the trudge.4 -

10/31 - 160.1 Happy Halloween!! Been an off track last few days, but back at it. NSV: Wearing a size small today!! Just a sweater jacket, but small. Only size they had left super cute so I tried it on and it fit ok.
11/01 - 162.5 Day after Halloween. Ate less than 1/4 of treats I would have on previous Halloweens. Had Indian for dinner and my increase is probably due to that. Gave the last few kids tons of candy their eyes were huge!! Only had 15 kids and gave out regular sized bars. I figured if I had (1) regular bar that the would satisfy me and I would end up eating less and lose count on all those tiny ones. So over on cals, enjoyed the night. Did way way better than previous Halloweens. So I'm chalking this up as a win!!
11/02 - 161.1 Thought this was going to be way worse, having trouble with time manangement these last few days. Need to get to the grocery store and prep/plan dinners.
11/03 - 159.6 It snowed here a little yesterday evening. Made it to the grocery store and picked up ingredients to make a slow cooker stew for tonight. Friday night of cozying up with a bowl of stew (380 calories/ bowl) and a movie with the kids. Simple Friday!! Have a great weekend everyone!!

11/06 - 161.9 > I feel very bloated today, had a couple glasses of wine last night, it's been awhile since I've drank. SO is home for a couple days. Need to stay on track
11/07 - 159.0 Got steps in, brought lunch to work for today. Tummy pains last night but better now. SO leaves on the first flight tomorrow morning, it's starting to get to him, been the longest stretch of months working away with only 3 days home

I was out of town and super busy this weekend so didn't get a chance to report earlier. I have been getting lax about logging and due to my travels cheated a bit more than normal (carbs, alcohol, treats). Still, given the issues, I am hanging in there. Surpassed my BF goal and did lose a bit (0.5 lb). Going to try to get back with the program starting tomorrow!

Had a dr appt today, just routine, was hoping she'd notice or comment on weight loss but nope. Nice relaxing day otherwise.
10/31: 166.5
My lowest yet, but I've seen it four (five?) times now. I'm ready to move on.
11/1: 165.0
Today the magical scale showed 163, 164, 165. I'll take it, but doubt it's for real. On my feet all day working an event, lots of standing and walking back and forth. Brought my own food so I didn't buy from vendors or try snackies in the break room. Drank lots of water, practically perfect on macros. No added sugar.
11/2: 165.0
Worked very late, got home at 11. Under ate today and not enough water.
11/3: 163.0
I ate low and was dehydrated yesterday. I enjoyed a rest day today, just a half day in the office then out to eat. It was lovely after two days working outside. I expect a tick up tomorrow, but I hope not above 165. Oh, had honey mustard dressing so I can't say no added sugar today.
11/4: 163.5
OK! I'll take it. Had a decent day with water, food, exercise and not touching the bleeping leftover Halloween candy that appeared in the office. I'll be honest, it was tough not to eat it.
11/5: 163.5
Fine on food & water. Enjoyed a "dessert" of plain Greek yogurt with cacao nibs and one chopped date for a little sweetness. I think I'll look up some recipes for cacao nibs, they are growing on me.
11/6: 162.0
Monday is my "Saturday." I went on a hike, I'm proud of myself for making it up 880ft elevation gain in a mile. We went out to eat, then I had a lovely nap. Not sure what to expect on the scale tomorrow, definitely had a large calorie deficit today and I'm ok on water but I'm expecting sore legs and that can mean a little inflammation.
11/7: 164.0
Just all over the scale this round, still down from beginning of the round. Had a good day, rested, ate out but well under calorie goal. Lots of water.
11/8: 163.0
Nice end to the round. Meh day at work, good day with food & exercise. Not enough water.4 -

11/5: 154.6 Not too worried. Higher than usual sodium yesterday and also retaining a little, ahem, waste.
11/6: 155.0 Panic Time!!! Breathe... I must keep in mind that just three short weeks ago I would have done backflips in seeing this number. Three months ago, this number was a far-off dream. Perspective.
11/7: 153.4! New low!! On higher weight days I must also remember that my weight can fluctuate as much as 1.8 pounds in a single day. Although, thinking that it could go up that much more on high-weight days might depress me! Hahahaha!
11/8: 153.2 Close enough to goal for me!

TOTAL LOSS IN 10 DAYS - 6lb4 -
I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
In the middle of Round 20, it occured to me that I may have reached my maintenance weight. I have hovered around 159 for weeks, despite keeping to my calorie goal, (10% below my TDEE), and doing loads of exercise, (and eating back minimal exercise calories). I am in the normal range for my age height and build, so I wondered if I was being realistic in my Target Goal Weight. I'm fitter and healthier than I have been for decades. I think fit and healthy should be my new focus rather than weight loss!
New Primary Goal - stay under 160lbs.
Losing a pound would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.
to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me an element of daily accountability which is motivational.
Observations, and Previous RoundsMany events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you stick with it! The game continues!29/10/2017: 159.0 Goals ✅ Holding steady! And still under 160. I call that a successful Round.
A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:- Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
- A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
- A high sodium day usually results in a gain due to water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!
