R26 SW 189.2
R26 Goal <= 189.2
This round I'm going to try to keep within daily calorie limit, even when the refrigerator is full of leftover turkey. It'll be a real challenge to maintain where I am, but I find coming here daily really helpful.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/19 189.6. Yesterday was kind of a lazy day. If I’m going to make a move down most of it needs to be done in the next few days.
12/20. 189.4. Every day I’m staying in this range is great!
12/21. 189.4. Couldn’t ask for any better with the way things are going

Historical SW (January 2017): 193
Recent SW: 187.6
R25 SW: 181.8
Goal for this round: Damage control! Be very careful about all the extra goodies that will be everywhere and exercise as much as possible to offset calories.
12/19: 180.6 Two parties yesterday, so a .8 gain is WAY better than it would have been had I not been on these challenges.
12/20: 180.2 Was hoping for more loss than that, especially after a killer workout yesterday, but I’ll take it.
12/21: 179 Made myself go back to the gym last night at 8 pm. It worked!

Starting weight – 230
Round 24 – 218.8 (-5.6)
Round 25 – 220.2 (+1.5)
Round 26 – Start 220.2
I am not giving up - well at least I don't think I am - but damn I don't know that I can do this.
Goal for this round is 217 – I need to start figuring weekend out from here on!
12/19 – 217.8 – Say it with me – finally I am on the move and going to lose this 10-day period, even with the 5 days off. I am motivated to do so and I WILL!!!
12/20 – 217.8 – holding my own
12/21 – 218.4 – honestly how do people keep this up I feel so defeated! I don’t know if I can do this ☹ I guess we will see how bad the 26th is. Maybe I am meant to be the fat girl in a small town.
12/22 – no weigh in – staying at my daughters babysitting the granddaughter’s – Please keep me strong!

Round 21 ended with 156.8.
Round 22 ended with the same, 156.8
Round 23 ended with 158 pounds
Round 24 ended with 156.
Round 25 ended with 157.8
I'm not unhappy with that. This is a tough time to lose weight. I have planned my meals for the next 8-9 days. I am feeling better about things.

12/19…162….if I can stay in this 2 pound bounce around that I have been doing since joining the challenges will be good through the end of the year. The last 2 holiday parties the 29th & 30th (at my house and all the cooking etc.) The other 2 on the 24th & 25th shouldn’t be quite as bad. (hopefully).

UGW 140
18/12 - 194 - R25 .. showed me a new low and two freaky highs .... I am 10 (or so) days away from TOM so I am hoping that's what the issue is!!
19/12 - 194.4 <<< another WTH moment ... I have no idea whats with these gains. Just hoping it levels out soon!!
20/12 - 192.6 - It was just pointed out to me that Indian take away is quite salty and that may have been the reason for the big raise, this drop today (after drinking my water yesterday) maybe says that's true.
21/12 - 192.6 - still drinking that water and hoping I get back to the 191 that showed last round!

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.
This will be my last round because I plan to switch to maintenance on 12/31 regardless of body fat % (it would still be nice to reach 10%, but I realize Dexa is unforgiving and that is a really tough goal).
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.
Round 25: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 - 140.8 lbs. - 11.3%
12/19 - 142.8 lbs. - 9.9% - I am not convinced this is right... still plan to lose a bit more and watch BF% fluctuations.
12/20 - 141.0 lbs. - 10.4%
12/21 - 144.2 lbs. - 13.0% - Inaccurately high today due to yesterday's diet. Tomorrow should be even higher.

12/19 168.2. Disappointed to be starting at this weight for another round, but had measurements taken and have lost 5% body fat since August eventhough the scale hasn't moved. Counting a small win and keeping it moving!
12/20 168.8 ugh. Had a pretty good day yesterday. So I don't know why.
12/21 168. Big workout yesterday and stayed within calories. My body likes the 168s

12/20 - 188.2 - Had some elliptical time and a nice walk yesterday.
12/21 - 188.6 - Lots of salt yesterday. More elliptical time. My scale is acting a little weird gave me a reading way too high - higher than I weighed myself yesterday at the gym with all my clothes and shoes on - then way too low. Then back to this.
