Welp, it's the turning of the year, right around the corner. Definitely don't want to get into the "do whatever I want until New Years" state of mind. The next 10 days will be challenging.
I had a rough eating day today, I have a head cold and I think I ate to try to feel better. Not that that works! but tomorrow is another day!
Plan for tomorrow: stick to the plan. Drink all the water, and extra hot tea if I'm feeling snacky. Chewing gum. Brushing teeth after meals. Ugh, what else..
12/20 173.4
12/21 173.2
Hosting a holiday party!
12/22 174.5 not too bad for party aftermath.
12/23 forgot to weigh! plan for today: lots of fruits and vegetables, and lots of water.
Need to come up with a plan for the brunch tomorrow. And then stick to it.
12/24 175.4 Brunch at family friends, followed by dinner at the fam's house!
12/25 No Scale. Dinner at the in-laws!
12/26 179.0 wow. I guess we will see how much is water weight. Had an awesome holiday meal with the family. Back on track today!

12/19 147 Finally feeling somewhat better. Too many things to do to get ready to leave on Christmas trip tomorrow.
12/20 146.5 Now my husband is sick. I knew he wasn’t feeling well when I came home and packing hadn’t begun!
12/21 147 but it was the middle of the night. Couldn’t find a comfortable place to sleep. We were supposed to be on the road to OK but are still both sick. UGH!!!
12/22 146.5 Both sick and I know I’m not eating enough. Don’t care.
12/23 144.5 I had been way below calories and macros earlier this week but made myself eat anyway. I also started using a different app which gave me MORE calories! Hope this isn’t a fluke.
**The last time I was this weight was between 11/15/11 and 11/22/11!
12/24 145.5 I’m okay with this. After being sick for a week I ate twice yesterday and SALT tasted so good! Hopefully we’re on the road to recovery and will be able to make our Christmas trip in a couple of days. And just that quickly I feel like crap again.
12/25 143.5 MERRY CHRISTMAS! Still not feeling up to par but surviving.
12/26 144.0 We had steak for Christmas dinner!
Steak sounds wonderful! I made steak and eggs for my kids for Christmas breakfast. I'm sorry to hear you and your husband are both under the weather. It stinks when it's over the holidays. All 3 of my children are ill also. One has the flu, the other has a sinus infection, and the other has an upper respiratory infection. I hope you both are on the mend soon.2 -
Back for another round.
Need to get enough water each day, do some exercise, and get some decent sleep!

12/19: 158.2
12/20: 158.7 1 out of 3 yesterday... I did get some good sleep last night. But not nearly enough water, no exercise, and a high calorie dinner. I feel even worse this morning. Just gotta hold on for a few days and then I have 11 days off from work! Don't know how I will manage 18 people at my house for Christmas eve, though... lots of water and vitamin C.
12/21: 159.6 Was so busy did not get a chance to check in!
12/22: 160.9 Oh boy. This is not a surprise! Had our dept. Christmas party last night. I don't think I need to go into detail.
But... CHEESE! That is certainly my weakness. Today will be hard because I need to u-turn and get back on track. Hoping all the stuff I need to do today will keep me from eating mindlessly.
12/23: 160.3 Drank a lot of water yesterday, did a lot of running around. Still managed to eat cookies while baking with my son last night. Woke up feeling old this morning. Not in a vain way... just more like... crap, I'm tired! I think my body is not liking food as a coping mechanism anymore because yesterday (post-cheese and wine party) I just felt horrible! I think I did have a true hangover!
12/24: 160.3
12/25: 163.3
12/26: 161.3 My SIL made beef wellington for Christmas dinner. Decadent! I hope everyone had a nice holiday. It sounds like many of us are dedicated to getting back at it and starting out the new year strong. I am determined to get back into the 150s before the end of the year.
I hear a lot of people talk about beef Wellington, but I don't have a clue what it is. Please tell me. Lol3 -

12/19 - 136.6 - Under calories yesterday, no workout, got diagnosed with a stye so 1) on antibiotics and 2) stay away from the gym for others' sakes and 3) when I go back to the gym, wipe those machines before as well as after I use them!
12/20 - 136.4 - under calories yesterday, no workout, but got all the Christmas boxes off (well almost). Feeling better, tonight a workout and early to bed.
12/21 - 134.8 - Whooosh! I bounce a lot but I will take this.
12/22 - 135.4 - expected rebound. Good workout yesterday, (barely) within calories. THANKS FOR KEEPING ME MOTIVATED, posting on this thread helps me!
12/23 - 134.8 - Under calories and solid workout yesterday. Maybe I am gonna get my "135 for 12/25" goal after all.
12/24 - 136.2 - Under calories and no workout yesterday, too busy running around on errands! No worries. Today, logging and getting a quick run.
12/25 - 135.0 - Really happy about making my 135.0 goal for Christmas. And it's kinda funny how exact it was. Ran 2.4 yesterday and knee was a little touchy, well under maintenance for the day and that included some Christmas cookies.
12/26 - 135.2 - REALLY dehydrated, already drank a quart of water. Yesterday no workout and did not log the main meal, I know I was super over because Christmas treat! Back to it today.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/19- 145.42 I'm doing ok with sticking to my calorie goal, but I need to find time to get back to exercising.
12/20- 144.76 DH and I agreed to fill the stockings this year with a few pieces of really nice chocolate rather than filling them to the brim with tons of sweets and treats. Less temptation in the house is a good thing.
12/21-144.76
12/22-144.76 My joints have been aching and swollen for the past 2 days. My sodium hasn't been high so I'm guessing I just need more water.
12/23-146.3 Far too much Christmas cheer followed by late night snacking.
12/24 My parent's came in from out of the country. It has been nonstop at my house. Attempting to measure and record what I'm eating, but it is tough.
12/25 Went over my calorie goal by more than 1,000. Really disappointed in myself. I didn't expect to stick to my calorie goal, but the number is just out of control. I need to learn to celebrate without stuffing my face.
12/26 Haven't weighed in days. Noticed today my pants were already tight. I need to do better tomorrow.
12/27 146.96 Why is it so easy to put on weight and so difficult to lose it and keep it off... Uggg Can't imagine the weight gain is going to get much better over the next 2 weeks with my parents visiting.

12/19 - 100.4 - Out and about, I failed to eat proper food, salt-loaded snacks. I’m traveling today (no less than 4 flights!) so my goal is no snacks on flights! And healthy choice at client lunch.
12/20 - 100.4
12/21 - Travelling no time for weighing
12/22 - 101.4 - Bad food choices yesterday, not enough liquids hopefully the situation will be redressed today
12/23 - 100.8 - OK back in control though I ate way more carbs than I would have liked! Drank all my water though
12/24 - 100.1 - Much less sodium yesterday, still too many white carbs and chocolates, but tis the season!
12/25 - 101.4
12/26 - 102.2
- so much for staying around 99 I didn't even eat that much. I just realize how sensitive I am to carbs!
12/27 - 101.4
- I still ate carbs (the wrong kind), but I'm getting that under control... back on the program

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).
12/20…161
12/21…161
12/22….161
12/23….161
12/24….161 cooking today for part of the family….one Christmas celebration and then travel tomorrow and more eating…..on the plus side I haven’t had any Christmas candy yet.
12/25….161
12/26….161 way too many sweets….that will be major for me to cut them back out again. Hope that everyone had a nice holiday!

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
12/22. 188.6. I’m watching the food calories, but when it comes to the wine calories, I’m well up on the naughty list.
12/23. 189.4. There have been years where I have really stacked it on over the holidays. It doesn’t look like this is going to be one of them. Just a matter of keeping it in check the next couple days then I’ll have a great place to start the downwards trip again.
12/24. 189.6. Really glad to have held it in this range to this point.
12/25. 190.4. Must be all the water I drank yesterday. Right. Merry Christmas everybody.
12/26. 192.4. Not too disappointed. Will try to get back on schedule starting now.
12/27. 192.2. Getting back to normal

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!
12/22: 178.8 Took a 1.5 mile walk in the afternoon. Had a few goodies, but not TOO many. NSV: Except for the sausage balls, they aren’t as appealing this year.
12/23: 177.8 WooHoo! 15K+ steps, 1.5 mi walk in the morning, walked through two parks with Christmas lights displays with the kids at night. Had Christmas dinner with daughter’s little family, and STILL lost a pound! Enjoyed small pieces of two different pies, but scheduled dinner mid-afternoon instead of late in the day which helped, I think.
12/24: 178 Crazy day but this little tiny up is ok; Merry Christmas, everyone!
12/25: No scales today but I’m sure I’m up after yesterday; was able to get in a good walk midday though
12/26: No scales today, but again, I know I’m up. We can count this as a re-feed or whatever, but it’s fine! I’m so proud of the fact that I LOST 10 lbs between Thanksgiving and Christmas instead of having gained that amount! I’ll lose whatever I’ve tacked back on this last two days without any issues because in that month, I learned so much about HOW to lose weight in a manageable and sustainable way. Thank you to the hosts of this group; it has really helped with that process.
12/27: 178.6 I’ll take that! Did not totally undo all the hard work I had done, but still enjoyed some of the wonderful, homemade goodies. Back on track yesterday and loving life! Traveling today, so will be using a different set of scales tomorrow. Wonder if they are calibrated the same?

Day/Weight/Comment
12/19 - 247.0 - I'm so tired of struggling. I cannot wait for the holiday season to be over for no other reason than I will not be so busy and can focus on my food and exercise again. Work Christmas party today (so restaurant food for lunch) but I have my run tonight. Hopefully that will help counteract the food.
12/20 - 246.6 - Food, again, not good. And I had a terrible headache last night and was feeling down, but I made myself do my C25K W3D2 run. My body didn't want any part of it, but I powered through. My legs were burning from my knees down and I felt like I couldn't get enough water into my body. But, when I was finished, I kept walking for 35 minutes to 1-stretch out my legs and 2-it just felt good. If I can at least use SOME self control on my food, I feel like I'll make some actual progress again.
12/21 - 246.4 - Working on it.
12/22 - 247.2 - Did my run but late night snacking got me
12/23 - 249.4 - Ugh, TOM. Not great in and of itself, but also making me make bad choices.
12/24 - 250.0 - No excuses. Bad food, no exercise.
12/25 - 248.0 - C25K W4D1 run, holy cow that ramped up! But i did it!! Expecting a gain tomorrow, lots of holiday food coming my way today.
12/26 - 248.0 - Not bad, considering.
12/27 - 248.2 - Bleh. I did my C25K W4D2 run, and it was not as unbearably hard as the last run. I was a little scared about Week 5 because I think by the 3rd run, it's just running for like 15 minutes straight or something. But, after last night's run, I feel like I might be able to do that. Trying to get myself back on track. Starting to track my food again today. The goal is to get back to doing all these good habits so that at the 1st of the year, I'm totally back to all my good habits that brought me success.

Starting weight – 230
Round 24 – 218.8 (-5.6)
Round 25 – 220.2 (+1.5)
Round 26 – Start 220.2 – End -
So close yet so far away. But guess what it is getting closer and I will be done
Another gain - but last day for the holidays and I am ready to start this tomorrow!!!!! Thank you everyone for being there for me! I could not do this without you.
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!
12/23 - no weigh in – staying at my daughters babysitting the granddaughter’s – Please keep me strong!
12/24 – 219.2 – well I did not do to bad this past week – honestly I thought it was going to be worse – so I am going to hang on for a few more days and then hit it hard on Tuesday
12/25 – 220.4 – OUCH is all I can say – thank goodness tomorrow I am ready to get my *kitten* together!!!!
12/26 – 219.8 – Okay here we go – two days to take off another pound is doable especially if I can get my butt in gear and start exercising!

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.
12/22 - 146.0 lbs. - 12.4% - May see a bit higher tomorrow with some lag.
12/23 - 146.2 lbs. - 11.3% - I did not expect BF% to drop again so quickly.
12/24 - 144.8 lbs. - 12.3% - Perhaps delayed a bit more than expected.
12/25 - 146.0 lbs. - 12.3% - Weight is up and BF% is consistent, but I need to lose 3.7 lbs. of fat in both cases to reach 10% BF. Hopefully this will return to a more accurate number soon. If this is, in fact, correct instead of an inflated measurement as I believe, then I will not likely reach 10% by Sat.
12/26 - 142.0 lbs. - 12.6% - Well, this is frustrating.
12/27 - 142.0 lbs. - 14.4% - Body fat is inflated. I'm not going to see an accurate BF% on my scale between now and the Dexa.

Good morning everyone! Christmas is right around the corner, and I have this amazing tray of cookies, caramel, and fudge that all of us staff and our parents made. I haven't even ate a single one of them either in the 3 days it's been home. Sure, I've given them to my children and my husband to nibble on, but I've stayed away. I'm so proud! Honestly, it was so hard when I first started dieting to stay away from all of that sweet stuff, especially chocolate, but not anymore. I don't even crave it except on very rare occasions. I never thought that would be possible.
12/19: 165.4 Haven't been drinking well and was pretty sedentary most of the day. I was in a lot of meetings all day.
12/20 164.2 Stomach is upset this morning. I hope it passes.
12/21 164.4 I am incredibly stressed out right now, and I wonder if it will ever stop.
12/22 164.4 Another stressful day. I just want things to calm down.
12/23 163.4 Who knew that even more could happen to cause stress. I have two really hard decisions to make in the next couple of days and weeks. I pray that God will point me in the right direction.
12/24 163.6 Merry Christmas Eve! Spent the day at the prompt care. My 9 year old son has the flu. My 14 year old daughter has a URI, and my 14 year old son has a viral bug. Whew!
12/25 163.8 I have spent all day washing dishes and picking up Christmas trash. I haven't been eating well, sleeping well, or drinking well. Honestly everyone, I'm in a funk. I cry a lot anymore, and I can't stand it. Anyhow, Merry Christmas! I hope you all enjoy your time with family and friends. Thank you for being so amazing!
12/26 165.2 What in the world?! I don't get it. I'm avoiding all treats and eating healthy when I do eat. I did reach my calorie goal yesterday, which was a surprise and pushed 32 oz of water.
12/27 166.2 I am becoming quite ticked off due to this gain. I was getting so close to the 150s. It's going the other direction. Ugh.

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.
12/22 - 190.4 - Weight workout yesterday, too much salt, too much cold, feeling bloated
12/23 - 189 - Better. Nice to be under 190 for Christmas.
12/24 - 188.4 - Even nicer!
12/25 - 188.4 - Holding after a lot of salt yesterday. Merry Christmas everybody.
12/26 - 187.6 - Seems to be a legit reading. I sometimes feel very suspicious of my scale.
12/27 - 188.8 - Expected. Big, late, salty dinner yesterday.

I'm staring this round very late. I've been sick for so long and so sore and yucky that I've not been weighing.
Goal for this round: Get back on track, lose the bloating and see 189 on Jan 1. (I don't want to spend 1 day of 2018 at 190+)
Weight on Dec. 7th: 190.8
