Enough. I'm off this afternoon to check out a gym - no more weather excuses for lack of exercise. And I've been lax about my eating, so seriously getting back on track and hitting the macros hard - 30P/30F/40C. We will be moving across the country in late February, and I want 10 pounds less of me by then. That's 10 weeks from now, so a pound a week, so 1.4 per 10-day round (assuming they'll be continuing in 2018, I hope?!?) I'm down a little from R15, but really, pretty stable over many weeks, so my metabolism is fine and this should be doable if I stick to the plan.
12/10 - 149
Back on track yesterday. Nothing showing on the scale, but I feel lighter, if that makes any sense.
12/11 - 149
Oh, for heaven's sake. It's like fat has superglue.
12/12 - 149.2
OK, now I'm really getting frustrated. The only thing different yesterday was that I was a bit heavier than usual on carbs (whole grain). I have been lower fat, higher protein & carbs than usual the past few days. I wonder whether that could make the difference? So disappointing!
12/13 - 148.8
Finally. Now to continue....
12/14 - 148.8
Sooooo sloooowwwww. Sigh.
12/15 - 149
I had a bit of a splurge last night, so ok. I've revised my goals based on reality rather than wishes.
12/16 - 149
Maybe my goal adjustment yesterday wasn't based on quite enough reality. I did have some extra calories last night - a bag of Harry & David's mixed nuts. Why oh why do they put two servings in one little bag that I had no way to secure half-way through? :-) Oh, well. I guess holding the line through the holidays is a good thing. Thinking of lowering my carbs, but not until after Christmas.

12/13 – 219.6 – Still playing catch up – man I can and will NEVER have a weekend like last weekend. I will never gain 3 pounds in a weekend again!!!
12/14 – 219.6 – frustrated with myself! I can do this I know I can, but DANG IT, I am frustrated with me! Why do I give up so soon. I will NOT give up on me for once. I can and will show you I can do this!

I WILL NOT have a 3 pound gain again and start over on Monday. I will do this weekend right!!
12/16 – 220.8 – well once again I have gained an obscene amount of weight over the weekend and so now I need to figure out how to get my act together so I don’t keep gaining weight on weekend. Good golly what am I going to do when I have 5 days off ☹ I just want to give it up!!!!!

12/10: 159.4 Ordered the oatmeal with bananas and walnuts. Was craving my SIL's beef stroganoff recipe last night, so made it with low sodium broth and the no yolks pasta... delicious! Three holiday get togethers today. Must stay disciplined.
12/11: 159.3 Gym has been closed for renovations since the 7th. Back open on Wednesday. I miss my running!
12/12: 158.9 Hubs texted me last night... gym WAS open! I am finished with the C25K and moving on to 10K. Did 4 miles last night. Helped me with my work stress. Company party was this afternoon. A little too much wine, but limited myself to one plate of food.
12/13: 158.8
12/14: 159 couldn't complete my run last night... just did not have the energy. Today I have been hungry. Ate out at lunch, and nibbled on sugary holiday treats from vendors at work. I am trying to get up the energy to work out now, but am cozy by the Christmas tree...
12/15: 158.8 Thankful for the elliptical in the garage last night. Did 30 minutes and then took the dog out for a walk... it was freezing! I feel like a cold is coming on today, so drinking the water and emergen-c.
12/16: 159.4 Oh snap. Am not feeling well at all today; have tried to bake and nothing is turning out right. Losing my patience with my teenage children today. Think it might be TOM, but who knows; it's never predictable these days. I didn't work out yesterday and have not today... just want to crawl into bed...4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09- 146.3 Absolutely exhausted. Trying to catch back up on sleep. Within calories, but no exercise today.
12/10- 146.08 ---Apparently I forgot to submit an entry.
12/11- 145.64 ---And again.
12/12- 144.98 Continuing with my routine of tracking everything that goes into my mouth
12/13- 144.98 Went over on my calories today. I've been out of the house and didn't make great choices. (fish and chips) Now I'm home my stomach is growling... Tomorrow is a new day.
12/14- 144.76 Well this is a surprise. I collapsed last night before grabbing more to eat.
12/15- 145.42 Think this is probably normal fluctuation. Made sure I had dinner before going out Christmas shopping tonight so I would have no excuse to snack while I was out.
12/16- 144.32 I don't know why, but I have been hungry all day. I might have a broth in a few. The warmth usually makes me satisfied and sleepy.

At least I'm still logging and checking in on groups. On the bright side, I've realized this is my 10th round in this challenge! At the end of these 10 days I will have posted here 100 days in a row.
12/11: 162
Deserved, yesterday was bad. TOM is a full week late, definitely NOT pg, guess it's aging. Didn't do great on nutrition today but no added sugar and overall low on calories.
12/12: 160.5
My progress for the last month looks like an EKG, bouncing between 160, 161, 162. Did OK today on calories & exercise. Had curry at a Thai restaurant, not sure if it was high in sodium so I don't know what to expect tomorrow.
12/13: 163.5
Yes, sodium. Tonight I went to dinner at someone's house, didn't log it all.
12/14: 163.5
Owning it.
12/15: 162.5
I'm just hoping not to end the round on a gain. Had a root canal (2 actually) yesterday, finally TOM and I really want comfort goodies but I haven't been too bad.

So happy to have maintained last round as I was all over the place.
I have 2 weeks to my friends wedding so I would like to lose 2lbs. So my mantras are going to be
'eat that, gonna get fat' and 'eat less, move more'

13/12 - 138.0
14/12 - 137.4 I've got a shocking cough and cold at the mo. Positive - I'm not at work being tempted by all the cakes and sweets people bring in. Negative - I'm feel so dreadful that I can't do any exercise except shuffle between the kitchen and bed.
15/12 - 138.0
16/12 - 137.2
17/12 - 136.6 Feels good to be losing again. Historically I get a new low and then revert back to old habits and up the weight goes again. Bye bye new low! So I am determined to see this as an average and not just a blip.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/09- 145 I felt the difference this morning when I woke up. My stomach shrank a bit...Yay!!!
12/10-144
12/11-144 looking so forward to losing my pouch
12/12-145 must be that I gained muscle, because I have stuck to diet and exercise...including lifting weights
12/13-145 hanging in there....still doing my 30 day Shred, sticking to my low carb diet and decreasing alcohol.
12/14-145 hopefully I will see a 144 or 143 soon. Patience is a virtue.
12/15-146 oh dear, I did everything right and didn't even have any wine. I did the 30 day Shred later in the afternoon...The only things I did different is drink more diet soda, no alcohol, and woke up at 2 this morning. I am discouraged because I actually felt slimmer this morning...oh well, I will keep on keeping on and have my focus and faith. I will stay determined and end the day knowing I did my best.
12/15 145 at 7:30 am....after yogurt and coffee. I guess I lost a lb in a few hours. I too the first weight at 3:30 am.
12/16 143 YAY! finally!
12/17 144 I am tottering. For dinner I had a Morningstar meal that had a bit more carbs...Japanese Soba Noodles....Too many carbs for me...pretty tasty, but too many carbs...I think that is why I gained...
12/183 -
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.
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.
Round 23: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.
11/28 - 150.4 lbs. - 14.6% - Had a spontaneous free meal yesterday and paying for it with weight gain - meal itself was probably around 4-5 lbs., including water in food... so this is about right.
Round 24:11/29 - 149.4 lbs. - 14.9% - For this round, I'm going to make a few changes. I'm not sure exactly what to expect at the beginning, but should have lower BF% by the end of the 10 days.
11/30 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9%
12/1 - 144.4 lbs. - 14.7%
12/2 - 144.8 lbs. - 13.3% - I'm thinking this is about right again for BF%, but let's see if that holds for the next few days without changes that affect the scale calculation.
12/3 - 142.2 lbs. - 16.1% - BF definitely reading too high, but not sure why this time.
12/4 - 143.2 lbs. - 16.2% - Definitely unexpected BF... consistent with yesterday, but still incorrectly high. Unsure why.
12/5 - 140.4 lbs. - 14.9% - Some time in the bathroom this morning revealed what I think is causing the suddenly abnormally high BF% (no, not pregnant, lol). Solved part of the issue this morning, but still some to go.
12/6 - 140.2 lbs. - 12.9% - Before measuring today, spent a bit more time in the bathroom getting rid of more of what is causing the false high BF% readings.
12/7 - 141.4 lbs. - 13.1%
12/8 - 139.8 lbs. - 13.5% - I was expecting to start this round with some wonky numbers; but end up close to accurate and drastically improved weight and body fat %. Ended up losing 10.6 lbs.; about 3-4 lbs. of which was fat. I struggled in the first couple years of dieting where tracking calories didn't work and nobody could figure out why; but much learning and experimentation and I consider myself to know my body very well now and can call myself a very advanced dieter. That said, the 10% body fat goal by 12/30 is still going to be very difficult and a tight goal... but I believe it is possible.
*Next round will once again start with some high and wonky numbers at first and end up drastically better by the end.
This round should start with some high and wonky numbers, but should be drastically better by the end.
12/9 - 139.4 lbs. - 13.9% - Surprised it isn't higher, but might catch up.
12/10 - 150.0 lbs. - 13.3% - Weight has caught up, body fat should increase soon, I would expect.
12/11 - 149.6 lbs. - 10.9% - Not sure I believe the BF%; so let's see what happens. I expected it to increase along with weight.
12/12 - 147.4 lbs. - 11.0% - Surprised BF is remaining... eventually, perhaps I'll start figuring it is correct.
12/13 - 145.8 lbs. - 11.2%
12/14 - 143.4 lbs - 11.2% - Looks like consistency on BF%.
12/15 - 141.6 lbs. - 12.6% - This is what I get for eating salad yesterday... an inflated BF% result. I know it isn't real, but still gets to me.
12/16 - 141.6 lbs. - 11.9% BF.
12/17 - 143.2 lbs. - 11.0%
12/18 -5 -
R24 SW 191.4
R25 SW 190.6
R25 Goal <189.0
For this round I'm going to try to keep every day consistent. Could be a bit tricky with so much on the go this time of year, but its a lifestyle change I've got to make.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/09. 189.4. Good start
12/10. 189.6. After a Saturday night involving chili, garlic bread and a good zin, I’m really pleased. Maybe there is something to this moderation thing after all.
12/11. 190.4. Not bad for a Monday morning. Should be able to do better on week days.
12/12. 189.0. Now to really keep it in check for the rest of the weekdays
12/13. 188.8. I really like the look of the scale today, three snowmen! Going to do my best to keep it around here for the rest of the round.
12/14. 188.6. It’s looking like losing a little every day shouldn’t be a big problem, the problem will be cutting out the days when I stuff on a lot.
12/15 188.0 Great, but there is a bit of a problem. When I tracked on my own, I'd go Friday-Friday. The way this cycle works out this time, I'm aiming for a good weight on Monday and weekends can be trouble. Before I'd be able to indulge on the weekends then spend all week struggling to get down to where I was the previous Friday. Oh well, just have to chose wisely which temptations I give into over the next few days!
12/16. 190.4. Not unexpected. My son and fiancé got in from university for the holidays on an evening flight so pizza and wine later than I usually eat. No regrets, try to stay on schedule today and tomorrow.
12/17. 189.6. Just to be able to stay in this range is a bit of a victory.

Historical SW: 193
Recent SW: 187.6
R25 SW: 181.8
Goal for this round: break into the 170's (including the Christmas madness that is about to ensue)
12/09: 181.8
12/10: 180.8 Ate out two meals yesterday and still managed to stay under calories. 14K steps helped!
12/11: 180.0 Had to make myself go from 7500 steps to 11K in the cold, after dark, but I did it!
12/12: 180.6 I was hungry all day yesterday, so I ate some of my exercise calories and drank lots of water which is something I may need to start doing. 10K steps
12/13: 180.4 Need to MAKE time for working out but it’s such a busy time! Wasn’t hungry at all today, so I don’t know why I felt like I was starving yesterday. Hoping for the gym tonight. Buying new clothes is fun though! :-)
12/14: 179.0 WooHoo!!! Had a great day yesterday, even experimented with a Christmas recipe using turkey meatballs instead of beef. Went to the gym and got in 14K steps. Success!
12/15: 178.6 Party tonight so I’m up early and headed to the gym this morning.
12/16: 182.2 Well, I knew it would be bad after the party. Too much Prosecco punch in addition to all the foods that I haven’t eaten in forever. Going to work hard today and tomorrow to see how much I can get back off by Monday. Fingers crossed! (On a NSV note: wore leather-look pants and long, sparkly sweater to the party. Friends were "shocked" at how "skinny" I looked. I know they were being nice, but it made me feel good anyway!)
12/17: 180.4 Lost exactly half of what I gained from the party! Walked the neighborhood during the warm part of the day, went to the gym after dinner for rowing, arctrainer (strength), and treadmill for almost an hour. Super careful with the "food in” yesterday too and was way under calories for the day. Tried a new Skinnytaste recipe last night (Shepherd’s Pie), and hubby and I both really liked it. Hopefully I can lose enough today to get back into the 170s, which was my goal for this round.

I'm back, and I can hear Mom in my head telling me that she knows how hard it is to lose weight and not to lose too much because being healthy is important too. She was always a worrier. I'm going to keep at it for her. She'd want me to.
SW: 202lbs
UGW: 125 lbs
GW: 163.6 - 164
12/09 164.6 *fingers crossed that I stay at the lower end of the 60s* Had my niece and nephew over to spend the night, and I started working on progress reports. I didn't get as much fluids in, and I can tell. I feel like my mouth is dry this morning.
12/10 164.4 My sister-in-law and I took our 4 kiddos out for breakfast with Santa. Then, we went with my parents to dinner, to see Winterland (1 million Christmas lights display), and finally the tree at Monument Circle. They had hot cocoa (I refrained), and we joined a street performer for some Christmas carols. Thought of Mom and how she would have liked to join us. She's in my thoughts daily.
12/11 164.4 I love to bake over Christmas. Don't most of us? So, I started my treats last night. Sugar free, Pineapple Whip. I went for a healthy option.
12/12 165.4? I have absolutely no clue. Maybe due to the amount of steps I took. I drank a lot of fluids, and I ate under calorie which I haven't been doing.
12/13 164.4 Back to where I was. Whew! Lol I spent the day running errands AFTER I left work and came home to find a surprise here at the house. It was the lighthouse ornament we ordered. Mom loved lighthouses, so we bought the Hallmark 2017 one in her honor as a way to remember her on our first Christmas without her.
12/14 164.2 I stayed late lasy night at work. All of us teachers were making caramels for a cookie tray. Then, I went to my son's band concert. He plays tenor sax, and he had a part all by himself. He did beautifully.
12/15 164.4 A foundation and crawlspace repair company is at our house today and was yesterday. My husband and I also took our oldest son on a walkthrough of a different school district. There's a HUGE problem with the school he is currently in with bullying, and we have been considering our options.
12/16 163.6 I don't know what to say really, but YIPPEE! I hope it sticks, and it was nice to see this number. NEW LOW...REACHED GOAL!
12/17 165.2 I finished my Christmas shopping! Yay!!! I know there's been a HUGE jump today, and I'm okay with that. I went out to eat last night at a local Mexican restaurant, and I could tell their salsa had WAY TOO MUCH salt; however, I don't treat myself off my diet very often, so I did. I'm sure it'll go back down in a few days. I'm okay with this.

Starting weight – 230
Round 25 – Starting weight 218.4
I have not quit so that is half of the battle!!!! It is Sunday and I just hope I am no more than .5 up at the end of this challenge - I can do better and I WILL!!!!!
12/9 – 219.4 – I hate Fridays and Weekends – you know its going to be bad!
12/10 – 221.4 – Thank god it is Sunday and I can start getting back on plan!! Somehow, I have to be better on weekends.
12/11 – 220.8 – well going in the right direction again is a good thing – back at it today and keeping on the correct eating path!!! I don’t think I will make my goal of 215 this week 10 day period.
12/13 – 219.6 – Still playing catch up – man I can and will NEVER have a weekend like last weekend. I will never gain 3 pounds in a weekend again!!!
12/14 – 219.6 – frustrated with myself! I can do this I know I can, but DANG IT, I am frustrated with me! Why do I give up so soon. I will NOT give up on me for once. I can and will show you I can do this!
12/15 218.4 – HAPPY DANCE DAY – finally almost a week later I am at my starting weight and the weekend is coming – OH KNOWWWWWW – but guess what – even though I have a Christmas party tomorrow night I WILL not over due it this weekend! I WILL NOT have a 3 pound gain again and start over on Monday. I will do this weekend right!!
12/16 – 220.8 – well once again I have gained an obscene amount of weight over the weekend and so now I need to figure out how to get my act together so I don’t keep gaining weight on weekend. Good golly what am I going to do when I have 5 days off ☹
12/17 – 219.8 – So I wont be back to 218.4 but I will take this number if I can just keep my eating under control and exercise a bit more! Even house cleaning will count today. I have logged 1700 steps so far and my plan is 15000 to counter act the extra calories you know I will eat ☹ My standing desk arrives on the 22nd and I cant wait to get it set up at work.

08/12 - 192 - R24 - The round that I ran out of anti inflammatory pills and my pain came back on like a train, also the round I found out my doctor wasn't really going to help me out, I have more pills now and I think slowly but surely they are starting to work again ... I have around 4 -6 weeks to wait to see a physio and around 35 weeks till I get to see a spinal specialist ... yay for long waits while in pain!
09/12 - 192.6 - had a little relief from my pain, so I done some xmas cleaning (something I am having real difficulty with at the moment, bending and stretching is the worst) after 1 hour I was laid up for the rest of the night in agony, had to sit in an upright position for any relief. looks like my house won't be clean for Santa!
10/12 - 192.4 - went out for a walk today at the xmas German market in town, still walking slowly but I get there in the end!
11/12 - 192.6 - 5 miles on the stat bike and calories higher than I intended -- i can still easily pull them back by average thou.
12/12 - 192.6 - lots of strength exercises today with some flex and cardio .. 2 1/2 hours total, im still in pain. so everything is modified ... the pain got worse later on at night ( due to pushing myself, i guess) so i went to bed and read a book ... and fell asleep early
13/12 - 192.6 - holding steady!
14/12 - 192.4 - holding steady!!
