Final GW - 140
11/19 - 150 meh...
11/20 - 149.4
11/21 - 149.4 - not too bad considering TOM came calling yesterday...
11/22 - 149.8 - I'd hoped to lose a bit to get a cushion between the 140's and Thanksgiving but...alas, it is not to be thanks to TOM. Oh well...not gonna let it rain on my punkin pie.
11/23 - 148.8 - there's my cushion...a little motivation to control myself somewhat today so it doesn't completely evaporate.
11/24 - 148.8 - Went over calories of course because the there was pie in the room, but did the elliptical before dinner, took a walk after dinner, and drank at least a gallon of water.
11/25 - 148.8 - under calories, but no exercise
11/26 - 148.4 - Not nearly as much movement as I wanted this round but a loss is a loss is a loss...it's all good.
11/27 - 148

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds but haven't lost in a couple of months. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years. It's been verrry slow the last couple months.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19....142 Ate out 2 meals yesterday. Today, ellip
11/20...142.4 Arrgghh, no exercise, spent the day cooking and made bread, which I ate! Today, I'll do better.
11/21... 141 More like it... did 75 min on ellip yesterday. Today, I will go back to entering food in diary before eating it. Helps me decided whether or not it's worth the cost. More ellip
11/22... 140.8 Ellip yesterday 45 min... water, ellip and entering before eating = goals for the day. Happy pre Thanksgiving to those in US.
11/23...140.8 Did 75 min on ellip, no wine for 3 days, ate sensibly and within limits, surprised weight didn't drop.
11/24...1418 50 min ellip ... way too many carbs yesterday with Thanksgiving.
11/25...141.2 Surprised at drop as we had a second thanksgiving yesterday. Did 60 min ellip. Drank lots of water.
11/26...141.2 Went to gym yesterday, today gonna get some walking in. Salad. Big salad and protein and water today
11/27... 141.8 It's looking like another round of not losing. Went for a walk in the park yesterday, ate within limits. More exercise? I so want to get below 140 and to stay below it. OK, enough whining.
11/289 -
I'll try again. I think it actually helped me not feel too discouraged by the daily fluctuations when they'd go up or stay the same.
Round 22 end:193
11/19 - 192 Huh, and I took it relatively easy yesterday. Just doing chores and some stretches.
11/20 - 192 Was really tired yesterday. Barely could drag myself to my step goal.
11/21 - 191.6 Went to bed really early, but I still got my step and calorie goal.
11/22 - 192.2 At least it's under 193 I guess.
11/23 - 193.8 oof, not trying to be freaked out, I drank a ton of water yesterday, but I have been more lax. And I am out of town.
11/24 - Travel - thought I'd have a scale at the hotel fitness room but, no.
11/25 - Travel
11/26 - Travel
11/27 - 194 for it being four days of holiday and travel it could be worse.

Round 23
Ended R22 on 138.2
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 138.8 OK this is fine. Happy Sunday everyone! I’m out all day volunteering at a Santa Claus Parade, so busy busy today!
11/20 136.4 This is a blip and will probably bounce back up tomorrow. Although I had a big breakfast yesterday I was out all day volunteering for a Santa Claus Parade and didn’t eat much dinner but did have couple of glasses of wine. Let’s see how it goes.........
11/21 138.4 Knew yesterday weigh in was a fluke lol But that’s fine. Today has been an ok day, ate well but have had cluster headache now for 2 days
11/22 138.8 Yesterday was a good day for eating. Headache gone.... yay! Back to the gym for the rest of the week, be it home gym or gym in town either way I will work out!
11/23 138.6 Feeling good, this challenge is definitely making me think about what I’m eating especially in the evenings. It’s exactly what I needed to get the weight off I’ve put on this year. Let’s keep going............
11/24 - on last post - editing and accidentally cut this post.
11/25 137.2 What???? Oh err I have been eating really well and sticking to the plan but not been to gym. Going today so this number will probably jump up. But I’m feeling good and this challenge has got me back on track!
11/26 Forgot to weigh............
11/27 137.6 Yes loved to still see this number on the scale! Nearly the end of this round and can’t wait for the next.

11/20 - Oops....forgot yesterday
11/21 - 186.2.....Damn. Maybe I should have remembered to weigh yesterday. It got away from me today.
11/22 - 187.3.....Ummmm isn't the scale supposed to be going DOWN? What is wrong with me?
11/23 - 185.4.....?
11/24 - 184.6....OK, seem to be back on track. I had Chinese food on Tues (21st) and the sodium caught up to
me, the last couple days. Lots of water to flush it out! Wow that was scary!!!
11/25 - 184.6
11/26 - 185.8 Another Saturday to get me into "trouble".....should be OK the rest of the week
11/27 - 185.6 One more day.....Let's make it a good one

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 - 149.0 disappointed a bit with going up. I ate pretty well yesterday and beat my step goal AND didn’t even eat the chocolate truffle I was dying to eat last night! Oh well, I guess that’s the way it goes sometimes. Keep persisting.
11/20 - 148.4 honestly a bit surprised with this one. Kind of broke down and over ate with a burger last night.
11/21 - 148.2 I’ll take it! Not sure why, but weekdays are so much easier to keep to the green salad for lunch.
11/22 - 147.8 well hello there! Slow and steady wins the race. Green salad for lunch over the last couple days equals happy number on the scale. Really do need to buckle down and move more but the -20 outside (I’m in Canada) is making that less than motivating lol
11/23 - 148.0 hoping this bounce up is a momentary blip. A bit frustrating after a day where I ate decent and went to the gym and ran around with my dogs in the evening (dog class). Back to the green salad for lunch today and hopefully that will help tomorrow’s weigh in.
11/24 - 147.2 definitely thinking yesterday must have been water retention from my work out. Ended up with pizza for lunch yesterday as work brought it in. All in all kept within the calorie goal though. Onwards to today!
11/25 - 146.4 Wahoo! Although I still haven’t managed to eat that green salad lol. Oh well, yesterday was good for calorie intake. Today will be a bit rough, going to some Christmas markets and plan on eating a freshly made cinnamon bun and also drinking a mocha or hot chocolate along the way. Need to enjoy the Christmas season a bit
11/26 - 145.8 well that is a surprise for sure considering the amount of sugar I consumed at the craft markets. I did end up finally eating that green salad for dinner (needed to be eaten and I was craving some vegetables). So maybe that helped? We shall see what happens heading into the start of the week though.
11/27 - 146.4 ah there is the Christmas market showing up. Well onwards to a new week.

11/19 225.1 So sick. Eating everything! Don't even care right now. Tomorrow I will do better. Today is better than yesterday, but still struggling to control myself. I hate being sick, and slide back into bad eating habits to comfort myself.
11/20 225.1
11/21 225.5 I'm forcing myself to look at this number and see where I'm heading. Hoping for the wake up call to finally go off again.
11/22 222.9 Much better! Hoping to still manage to get to my end weight from last round. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I feel that may be a lofty goal, but I'm going to try!
11/23 222.9 Here we go, it's going to be a temptation filled day!
11/24 222.9 Managed to get through the day without gaining anymore weight!! Now to get through the weekend! Let's see if I can drop this down some.
11/25 222.9 Still here.
11/26 225.1 forgot to post
11/27 223.1 I'm all over the place, TOM is here, and having a problem with waking up and eating during the night. Didn't do it last night, so I'm hoping to maintain control.
11/288 -
As most of my fit friends know, I fell off the wagon. My motivation is not where it was and I don't care...I just gave up the last round I was part of. Trying to fake it and get it back - going to give this another shot.
11/19 - Didn't care
11/20 - 220.4 - Was really glad you were not in the middle of a round so I feel like this is still a fresh start. My goal is to check in again tomorrow.
11/21 - No time to weigh in this morning (woke up late and forgot due to the panic) - will update tomorrow am. My goal is to check in tomorrow.
11/22 - 219.8 - Nothing like the pace of a snail...
11/23 - 219.1 - Happy Thanksgiving to those who are celebrating today! Gobble Gobble!
11/24 - Didn't care
11/25 - 221.9

my Doc advised me that my system may be having a hard time processing it. I have noticed a big difference and
after I use the last pack in the freezer for spaghetti today, I will be drastically limiting it from my diet from
now on.

Round 23
SW 213.5
GW 209.9 (i realize this is a lot but i'm excited to see this number so why not try!)
11/19 - 214.3 - up. Im not sure why. Maybe there was a lot of salt in the meal my sister in law made last night.
11/20 -213.4 back down to my lowest yet.
Gym and kickboxing today. And groceries. Cooking yummy jerk chicken in the slow cooker. This week i will be doing a lot of exercise so i am excited to see the results!
11/21 - 214.6 - up.. maybe due to salt.
11/22 - 215.6
11/23 - 215.4
11/24 - 212.7 - a perfect goal day yesterday paid off! New low!
11/25 - 211.7 woohoo! Looks like i caught up and lost the food weight. Continuing to exercise despite not eating perfectly paid off! This motivated me to make arrangements to go to the gym again today!
11/26 - 210.0! Omg. I have no idea how it went down this much. Maybe dehydration? Maybe i was hanging on to a bunch of water weight from a week of eating bad. Wow. Super excited! It may not last but those numbers look so so nice!
11/27 - 209.5. Well i made my goal but my body cheated and decided to get sick. Again im happy to see 9s.. but i don't think it will stick. Hopefully i will be able to get to the gym this week.

Age 60, 5'4" [lost 1/2" somewhere, not the measurement I wanted to lose]
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. Previous round EW 162.0 LW 162.010/20/17 / Started Round 20: 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, too much sugar, etc. I don't get freaked now by a jump on the scale, since I know what I did to cause it, and what I can do to change it.

Ate very small pieces of pie (couldn't resist apple & pumpkin) later for dessert and no supper, just ate hard boiled egg for late evening snack. As planned, walked dog 3 miles before travels (had 5 1/2 hours round trip in car) & drank plenty of water = 14c. Fitbit 10,102 steps, 250+ steps 5/14 hours (yikes, that was sedentary) & 5 floors.

My goal is to reach 10% body fat by year end... actually by 12/30 because that is when my Dexa is scheduled. I'm going to list weight and BF% based on my scale, which is going to fluctuate at times as diet changes. On some days - and I know when those are based on diet - it will be inaccurate.
From round 22:Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/9 - 149.6 lbs. - 16.8% - scale is reading higher than actual BF%
11/10 - 148.4 lbs. - 15.9% - scale is still higher than actual BF%, but getting closer to actual
11/11 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.9% - scale is higher than actual BF%, this time not expected
11/12 - 148.6 - 16.8% - scale is still showing higher than actual BF%, still not entirely expected. I have a theory as to what is driving the incorrectly high BF%.
11/13 - 148.6 lbs. - 18.5% - Yesterday was a re-feed / glycogen replenishment day. I'm surprised weight did not also increase, but expected BF% to be unreliable. I expect it to remain that way for the next 2-3 days.
11/14 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.4% - Depending on whether I eat a lot of fibrous green vegetables today, BF% will either stay pretty stable by tomorrow morning or will decrease. I may find it hard to feel full without lettuce or green beans... but since scale BF% is just artificially high if I eat them and real BF% is not truly much different, I'm probably going to eat greens if I'm hungry anyway.
11/15 - 146.4 - 15.6% - No veg yesterday, scale is closer to a correct BF%.
11/16 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9% - No veg yesterday again, and BF% is almost right where I would expect Dexa to come up. The idea that eating low carb green / fibrous veggies would affect the scale BF% so much is a relatively new revelation. Thinking back, the last Dexa was 0.3% lower than the scale on that same day (that is extremely close); and my scale is ALWAYS higher than any other measurement method or device - including other bio-electric impedance devices, which are always super low. When that last Dexa was taken and it was almost the same as the scale, I had not eaten plants for 45 days prior (except coffee, tea, and small quantities of seasonings and sauces). I still plan to eat some low carb (net carb) fibrous veggies while I continue to strive for 10% BF by 12/30, but will do take breaks occasionally to get a better idea of where Dexa will come in.
11/17 - 147.8 lbs. - 13.9% - Slight weight increase, not sure why... probably water weight. Another day without veg and BF% is spot on as close as I'm going to get to being real. Tomorrow is going to be high again based on today's planned diet.
11/18- 146.0 lbs. - 15.4% - Did not expect weight to decrease, but expected reported BF% to rise.
Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
11/19 - 145.8 lbs. - 13.5% - Did not expect BF% to drop this much this fast.
11/20 - 147.6 lbs. - 16.2% - Both increases were expected based on yesterday's food plan. Should see decrease over the next few days until Fri. morning, which will go back up again.
11/21 - 147.0 lbs. - 15.7% - Expected a small decrease. Expect another small decrease tomorrow.
11/22 - 146.6 lbs. - 15.3%
11/23 - 145.6 lbs. - 14.8% - Will be higher tomorrow.
11/24 - 147.2 lbs. - 14.4% - Did not expect BF to decrease, but maybe that is delayed...
11/25 - 145.8 lbs. - 15.2% - There is the delayed fat storage.
11/26 - 145.2 lbs. - 15.7% - Did not expect another rise in BF%, but I can only assume it is continued delayed fat build. Tomorrow will be higher probably of both weight and BF.
11/27 - 146.4 lbs. - 17.0% - Increases expected.

I have 2 thanksgiving meals to go to this round and my cousin's wedding, so my goal is to maintain the same average weight this round as last round.
11/19: 119.8- This is a jump up of a lb from yesterday, but I'm really feeling my strength workout from yesterday so I think that is contributing a bit to the increase.
11/20: 120.4- Eating wasn't great yesterday as I bought my nemesis, tortilla chips, at the store.
11/21: 119.4- Not excited to see the scale tomorrow I had movie theater popcorn for the first time in 6 months. And it wasn't even as good as I remembered!!
11/22: 119.8- Well it went up but it could have been worse. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I'm looking forward to the turkey and mashed potatoes.
11/23: 119.8- Mashed potatoes yum
11/24: 119.4- I had a wonderful Thanksgiving #1 with my family. I ate all my favorites but logged it and tried to not stuff myself. I'm off to Thanksgiving #2 with the in laws today. They have deep fried turkey.
11/25: Away from scale. Went to cousin's wedding. I've driven a total of 16 hours over the last 3 days.
11/26: 119.2- Not bad at all but I know that I am dehydrated from all the driving that I've been doing. I will be drinking a lot of water today, especially because I have a nasty cold.
11/27: 119.2- Rehydrated myself yesterday but kept to the couch the whole day. Going to reset my eating to healthy foods for this week. I would like to get under 119 tomorrow to end the round.

Checking in is important. But just know that if you decide to take a break, we'll all be here waiting for you when you get back. If you can, set yourself a date upon which you will resume eating mindfully.

Thanks again, Cyranda! I’m in!
Self-control flew right out the window last challenge and I fell into old habits of reckless eating late at night. That ends NOW! No eating after 9 p.m.!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/19 251.8 -- One pound less than yesterday. Rather than save calories for evening snacks, I made sure to eat all my calories during the day and finished with supper. I didn’t stay up until the wee hours and I didn’t do any late night post-diary snacking!
11/20 250.2 -- Lowest yet. I will continue getting all calories eaten by the end of supper. If I don’t start to eat after supper I don’t need to figure out how to stop at a time of day (late evening) when I’m least in control of my eating.
11/21 251.0 -- The scale is toying with me.
11/22 252.8 -- Over ate with reckless abandon yesterday and this is the result. It was fun but as my mother says, “Them that plays pays.” Back to controlled eating today.
11/23 251.6 -- A nice controlled day yesterday. I must remember to weigh portions today. We’re having pot roast at hubby’s request and that can’t really be measured ahead of time. I’m going to be looking for listings like “chuck roast, braised.” Happy Thanksgiving!
11/24 252.0 -- After yesterday’s immoderation, eating-wise, this is to be expected.
11/25 251.6 -- One shouldn’t be eating “at maintenance” while still over 100 pounds overweight but that’s clearly what I’m doing with late night snacking. Must get back into the discipline of eating only what I log.
11/26 251.2 -- It’s hard to see this is the 7th day of the challenge and I am only now feeling the commitment in my brain necessary to stick to controlling my calorie intake. No eating after 9 p.m.!
11/27 251.2 -- Last night I stayed up late but did not snack! Can I do both? It seems I can. Now I must remember this!
11/28 No eating after 9 p.m.!

I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance/refeed for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. I 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 I'm hoping to alleviate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit.
Day/Weight/Comment
11/19--221.5 2lb increase over yesterday. I hit the trifecta of temporary weight gain--ate at maintenance, did not drink enough water, and worked out. Eating at maintenance today. I'm going to do some stretching today to help with the soreness from my kettlebell workout.
11/20--222.6 Temporary weight gain from eating at maintenance yesterday. Going to kettle bell again tonight.
11/21--222.0 Temporary weight gain from the hard work out yesterday, I am so sore, and lack of water. Today is rest day and making sure that I keep hydrated.
11/22--221.7 Still sore. Just a reminder that when you start working out you will show a temporary weight gain and your weight loss will slow for awhile. Going to kettlebell tonight. Goal is to stay hydrated today.
11/23--220.6 I am surprised that my weight went down after the tough ketttlebell class yesterday I thought I would still be retaining water. Going for a long walk today and then going out later for Thanksgiving dinner.
11/24--222.0 One day of eating above maintenance, now back to eating at deficit.
11/25--220.9 Nice to see the water weight going, but I still feel really heavy today and I can't see myself being able to eat at maintenance today, so I'll probably eat at a slight deficit today but that may change. Going to kettlebell today.
11/26--221.3 Slight gain from yesterday's workout.
11/27--221.5 Up and down. Just waiting for my body to stabilize from the new workout routine. I will just keep doing what I need to do and I will wait for the scale to catch up. Going to kettlebell today.
