    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.

    2 words - STRESS and FATIGUE... will blow you up like nothing else!

    Sweet!

    @nikki062181 Thank you, Nikki. I am feeling much better and think he may be too. Hard to believe the insurance won’t cover the meds for his nebulizer! The pharmacist is working on getting the order changed. Sending prayers for good health for your family!

    @rtls Be strong! Show your folks you’re in control!

    A few years ago I started using a product sold by a cousin in hopes that I would lose weight. I did not lose. All along some of the people in those challenge groups touted the benefits of not eating sugar and grains. I could not imagine doing that! I am a bread-aholic! This past July I made a huge change and gave up those things. For the first time in 50 years, I have no knee pain. People said sugar and grains cause inflammation and now I believe it. It wasn’t an easy change to make, I am married to a junk-aholic. But if your joints hurt, you might consider trying it. I’m not sure how long it took to make a difference. I just realized one day that I wasn’t groaning when I sat down and stood up. Some people have asked how I am losing weight, what I am doing. I am eating a Ketogenic Diet. There are dozens (it seems) of websites and books. It really is all about limiting carbs, eating moderate amounts of protein and higher amounts of healthy fats. Totally the opposite of the reduced fat theories pushed on us for the last 40 or more years.

    Insurance companies can be ridiculous and such a pain. We had a very hard time getting a nebulizer for Mom too. I'm glad you're on the mend even if it's slower than it should be. I have 3 sick children atm and a sick husband.

    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!
    22/12 - 192.4 - xmas shopping, ate out

    I hear a lot of people talk about beef Wellington, but I don't have a clue what it is. Please tell me. Lol

    @nikki062181, here it is! A filet of beef covered with mustard, a mixture of mushrooms, scallions and garlic, prosciutto, and then all wrapped in puff pastry. It was delicious. I had one slice and that was plenty. ;) My SIL found this on the Tasty app... everything is in video form now, which makes cooking a lot more fun... when you can see how things are created.

    UGW: +/- 145

    12/19 173.4
    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!

    12/27 176.8 two pounds down.. only 3.8 to go to get back to the start of this round! Ugh, excited to get back on my routine. At least this round I'm paying attention and forcing myself to stay checked in, instead of the "oh well" attitude!

    I HAVE the power and determination to do this.

    Current Focus: In the normal range for my age height and build, on maintenance.

    Had a bit of a blip last round as I was ill.

    Primary Goal - 160lbs +/- 2lbs.

    Of course, losing a pound a Round would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.

    pretty-pink-welcome-smiley-emoticon.gif 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 Rounds
    Many 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!

    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.
    Don't beat yourself up over a temporary gain. Trust the process and stick with the programme.
    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!

    I'd be higher but I was too nauseated to eat yesterday. I feel fine today (it was a reaction to an antibiotic) but it gives me a chance to reset. I've hard a hard time since Thanksgiving, with holiday gatherings and all. For the rest of the month I just don't want to lose ground and I'd love to see several days under 160.
    12/20: 160.0
    Pleased not to see a bump today. Did pretty well with my day overall.
    12/21: 159.5
    My lowest weight so far, I saw it so briefly back in Round 24. This time I want to keep moving in the right direction! Did well today, resisted all the goodies left in my inbox.
    12/22: 159.0
    I know it's early to claim this, there are still fluctuations to come, but this weight puts me in the "normal" BMI category, and I've been happy about it all day. This is a major goal a long time coming.
    12/23: 159.5
    Totally normal fluctuation, I hope I stay in this neighborhood. Had a good day, no sugar, ate well, good on protein, a little exercise, 2L water.
    12/24: 159.0
    Another good day.
    12/25: 158.5
    I didn't eat to the point of being uncomfortable and I did some walking, but mostly I didn't even try to stick to any rules today. I'm sure I'll go up tomorrow but hopefully it won't take long to regain lost ground. Had a nice holiday, I hope you all did, too.
    12/26: 160.0
    Yup. Back on track today.

    12/27: 158.5
    Great, went right back to my lowest weight... BUT today I got some late holiday goodies given to me and darned if I didn't eat them. Have to do better than that the rest of the week.

    12/22: 219-- Very happy because I was thinking I would have a small gain-I binged a little on chocolate (sugar to comfort) and have not worked out the last 2 days. >:) Back at it today to keep it going down as much as possible before surgery because I will be a sitting duck then.

    Love this challenge! You guys help me keep up the motivation to make the right choices each day (and goodness knows this is the 10 days I'm gonna need it the most).

    Historical Start weight: 252 lb.
    End weight Rnd 24: 225.6
    End weight End 25: 221.6

    Short term weight goal: limit the holiday gain to 0-5 lb gain BUT be realistic and forgiving if it end up being more.

    Short term life goal: have am excellent holiday season :smiley:

    Day/Weight/Comment

    12/19 - 220.2 - NSV - after what feels like weeks of eating sandwiches and previously made meal preps from earlier this month, I finally had time to make dinner after work. Usually it's draining but it's nice to not have to microwave dinner.
    12/20 - 219.6 - NSV - steps in, only gave into the cookie cravings a few time.
    12/21 - 218.8 - let the wooing begin!! Whatever, I haven't seen the 218 on the scale for over 10 years so I'm pretty damn proud at the moment, and you can't bring me down today. Don't worry, it'll go up at Christmas cause I'm going to eat all the turkey and I'll also be petty happy with myself then too.
    12/22 - 219.6 - looks like I'm regulating and this also probably marks the start of the alcohol consumption bump (I do hope the concerned wooing folks are feeling better now ;) ), seems even one drink spikes the scales which is normal for me. Since I'll be having a few for the next few days I'm expecting the rest of this round might be gains, which is fine, it's the holidays and I'll be back to a regular routine again in January.
    12/23 - 220.2 - the alcohol bump continues, to be expected, but I got my steps in so I'm satisfied.
    12/24 - 218.6 - I think something weird happened to my scale cause this doesn't seem accurate, but it's the number that appeared so that's what's here. Didn't get my steps in and ate all the yummy Christmas goodies, but I did drink lots of water and only had one glass of wine. I don't think I went overboard so I'm happy.
    12/25 - ? - home for the holidays without the scale but good money says it's up. Didn't hit any goals and ate all the food but it's Christmas and I'm willing to work a little harder next year in order to enjoy this time with my family. Won't have numbers for the rest of this round, but will still check in for goals.
    12/26 ? - still home without my scale, still eating treats so likely that number is rising. I did however get my liquids in and did two walks today and went over my step goals, plus no alcohol consumption today! Maybe I'll completely miss the alcohol bump by the time I get home.
    12/27 - ? - still home without a scale, still eating treats, likely gaining but no alcohol consumption, but very few steps and snacks after 8. Still on vacation, will be better when I'm back in the city.

    I shall endeavour to be mindful about eating. With a birthday, hen do, wedding and Christmas in the next 10 days I'm going to have to be otherwise this new low is gonna evaporate!

    12/19 - 136.4 - a new low :smiley:
    12/20 - 137.2
    12/21 - 138.8 - Hen do last night, eat loads of lovely food. I'll eat clean today.
    12/22 - 138.0 - didn't eat clean....I think that's going to be a recurring theme over the next few days.
    12/23 - 138.4 - Wedding done, now just need to get through Christmas without too much gain.
    12/24 - 138.4
    12/25 - 138 4
    12/26 - 138.8

    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?
    12/28: New Scales: 180.8 I don’t think I ate enough yesterday to have gained this much but I am at our condo in Florida with a different set of scales, so this represents a new set point for me for the next 10 days or so.

    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!
    12/27…..161

    Oh dear. Fell off the wagon a bit and had poutine/fancy coffee yesterday. But it was my first day back at work after a month off for surgery so I figured why not lol. Will get back on track for the next round.

    10 Day Goal: 144.XX ? I would love to lose weight over the holidays, but I think maintaining is probably more achievable. I'm still going to give it a go though.

    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.
    12/28 145.86 I'll take this. Same as my start weight. Not sure if it will stick here, but for now... No complaints. lol
