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.
12/28 - 248.8 - Well, I failed...again. But, I have told myself I am getting back into this in January. I have ordered a 90 day workout DVD set that I'm excited about and I am continuing my runs. I've started getting back to tracking. Trying to do things in phases - start tracking then start being mindful, then start eating within calories. Next round WILL be better!3 -
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.
12/28 - 142.8 lbs. - 14.3% - Hoping everything works out with the Dexa, but will not join the next round regardless as I'm switching to maintenance. Best of luck, all!5 -
@quiltingjaine Doing my best to stay in control. You might have a point with the sugar. We aren't a snacking family (more portion control and wine), but there is definitely an abundance of treats right now that I have been indulging in. I think I might monitor and see if I notice a correlation between the joint pain and the sweets. Thanks2

ROUND 22 starting weight 185.6
ROUND 23 starting weight 184.7
ROUND 24 starting weight 184.2
ROUND 25 starting weight 184.4
ROUND 26 starting weight 185.8
12 / 19 - 185.8...Maintaining my weight at 185. I'm becoming more aware, so maybe I'll start losing?
12 / 20 - 184.5...Heading into Christmas with a lower weight would be good.
12 / 21 - 186.4....Had a Choir Practice/Christmas Party last night....too many nibblies' = weight gain!
12 / 22 - 185.8... OK, that's a bit better, but I need to pull up my socks if I want a loss over Christmas
12 / 23 - 185.4.....Christmas dinner tonight with Step-daughters & Son's in law
12 / 24 - 189.0.....Guess I enjoyed myself a little too much? Luckily I have no other dinners to attend
Christmas Day - 190.0.....Guess I thought all would be good after Saturday's dinner.....WRONG!
12 / 26 - 187.5....back on track and raring to go!
12 / 27 - 187.0...WOW, this is my most difficult Round. If I can get back to my starting weight I will be happy.
12 / 28 - 185.8...... I AM HAPPY!
That was a very rocky road I took over the last 10 days. I got lazy over Christmas. Hubby & I vegged on the couch for 2.5 days just watching the box. He went back to work on the 27th (I go back today - the 28th) I was able to get my *kitten* together and get back on track. I managed to salvage my last 10 days, and come out even. I am happy with that. This ROUND? I aim for a loss. There is no room for back peddling. No more ending up where I began.
My ultimate goal is 170lbs, so any loss is a good loss.
"It won't be easy, but it WILL be worth it!"

Day/Weight/Comment
12/19 218.5 Starting at a good place, going to work hard at staying here (or lower) for the next 10 days!
12/20 218.5
12/21 218.5. Even after the cookies and sushi I ate yesterday! Drinking lots of water today and moving!
12/22 216.8 Ummmm. Hmmmm. Yes I drank lots of water, yes I was moving most of the day, but I will expect this to bounce back up. It was a fun number to wake up to this morning, though!
12/23 218.0 There's the bounce back! Still, lower than Thurs. First round of our family Christmases today! Wish me luck, my in-laws always have great food!
12/24 218.0 Well, I'm still here, but I'm expecting to see a gain by Tuesday. Frankly, I'm not even going to be upset! I love my family and I love spending time with them. If that puts me in a position where my willpower is tested, I'll do it every time.
12/25 219.6 Yep, was expecting this. Also, my TOM decided now was the perfect time to show up, so I have that going for me. It's totally ok though, tomorrow is a new day!
12/26 219.6 Okay, holidays are almost over, my birthday is around the corner, and I'm ready to get back on track! I promised myself a new hair do when I've lost 10% of the weight and so I need to push forward to 212.
12/27 218.3 forgot to post, mom's in the hospital.
12/28 218.3 Yesterday was not a good eating day. Hopefully I can keep it together today. Mom's in the hospital again, hopefully they can at least help with the pain. PV is the worst.

Happy Week before Christmas!! Going to keep checking in here as I continue my maintenance plan.
SW - 182.4 - March 2170
GW - 145 - reached this in October. I've lost a bit more since and I'm working on maintaining under 145. I've been pretty consistent at keeping a rolling 7 day average of 143.5.
12/18 - 145.4 - coming in from round 25...7 day rolling avg of 143.5
Day/Weight/Comment
12/19 - 145 - so busy today I'm finally getting around to posting what I saw on the scale this morning...I felt really bloated
12/20 - 142.8 - I could tell I was "flushing" away the water weight yesterday...now to stay on track the rest of the week before the madness begins
12/21 - 143 - in a good spot going into a celebration weekend!!
12/22 - 144.8 - bounced up...sodium and carbs and not enough water yesterday....the next week is going to be tough to control as I won't be eating at home much...and too many temptations. I'm not going to stress about it, I've come a long way and know what I need to do in the new year to get back to my sweet spot.
12/23 - 145.6 - heading to my parents place today so I probably won't get on the scale until we get back home on the 26th.
12/24 At Mom's...didn't weigh
12/25 At Mom's... didn't weigh
12/26 At Mom's...Didn't weigh
12/27 - 144.2 - Well that was a pleasant surprise seeing something under 145! I indulged a bit but really didn't feel the need to gorge myself on anything which is a big change for me this time of year. Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas if that's what you celebrate!!
12/28 - 145.2 - Took my oldest out for brunch and a matinee (Grease...so amazing!) in Toronto yesterday...was feeling pretty bloated by the end of the day and still pretty puffy this morning so I'm feeling the extra sodium from eating out.
Looking forward to reestablishing routines in the next round...see you all there I hope!!

So this round was a real kick in the teeth. I never thought I'd see these numbers again. The New Year is right around the corner though and I have my will power back so I know I'll do well eventually. The fact that I'm posting on here and being honest is a huge deal. I used to always hide my defeats. It's nice to be able to show them and be accountable and still remain determined.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/19 - 188.6 - It's going to be a cold week and hard to move for me. But I'm gonna do my best.
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.
12/28 - 190 - Kind of hoped to end on a low note. Had weights yesterday - started with a personal trainer who is supposed to kick me into gear.3 -

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

12/28 - 100.6 - so an increase of 0.8g since R25.
Why is it so difficult to give up those carbs? This round was about maintenance and I didn't quite stick around the 99 mark, but it wasn't that bad either, I just have to make sure it's better next round.2 -

Starting weight – 230
Round 24 – 218.8 (-5.6)
Round 25 – 220.2 (+1.5)
Round 26 – 218.6 (-1.6)
Lost what I gained last round - Round 27 will be a good one!!!!
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 *act* 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!
12/27 – 218.6 – We are going to be close to that low of 217, slowly but surely I can do this!
12/28 – 218.6 – I will take it!!

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
12/28. 188.8. I’m really happy that the weight is down today. I had hoped it would be but really didn’t expect it. Glad to have made some progress this round and looking forward to the next.

Round 26 - last chance for 2017
Started this year @ 112 lbs. Have been working on losing back to my normal weight of 104-107 lbs for the past 10 years!
Goal Weight: 105 lbs.
12/19 106.2
12/20 105.6 - 1500 Calories! Having annual labs drawn today. The weight loss should improve by Cholesterol and A1C
12/21 105.9 - Going to get my Dexa-scan today (osteopenia) but the report will also show my body fat percent.
12/22 106.6 - ate >1900 Calories yesterday, dark chocolate, dried fruit with cashews and red wine were worth it.
Weighed prior to the Dexa-scan middle of the day: 107.7 lbs. The great news was that my height taken at the appointment was unchanged. Body Fat on the home scale was 22% (usually 24% due to dehydration in the morning). Will be fun to compare my scale (22%) to my Dexa results.
12/23 105.3 - unexpected . . .
12/24 106.2 - expected . . .
Exercise first, then to the store to pick up missing items for dinner tonight. Pre-prepared lots of dishes yesterday but the coordination of the feast can still be tricky. Cheers Everyone!!!
12/25 - forgot due to travel schedule.
12/26 107.9 lbs very expected but not alarming
12/27 107.6 lbs - on my way down!
12/28 106.6 lbs - sooo hungry this morning!4 -

Start 10/18/2017 = 147.9 * Goal = 130.0 and 20 miles/weekR22 * Start = 143.4 * Ave = 141.9 * Min = 140.2 * End = 141.2
R23 * Start = 142.0 * Ave = 140.1 * Min = 139.4 * End = 139.6

R25 * Start = 136.6 * Ave = 137.0 * Min = 135.8 * End = 135.8
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.
12/27 - 136.2 - richly deserved this bounce! Exhausted yesterday, no workout, grabbed sub-par pie at work then got loose with the oatmeal shortbread in the evening. Let's see if I can fix any of this before the last day of the round!!
12/28 - 136.0 - Yesterday ran 4.5 miles, did 8 minutes of mixed planks, and ate well under calorie limits. I sure enjoyed the treats over the holidays but I also really enjoy the feeling of balance, sanity, and self-care that comes when I do my system.
Round 26 Start = 136.6 * Ave = 135.6 * Min = 134.8 * End = 136.03 -
@midwesterner85
I am very disappointed in the body fat % my dexa reported - 26.2%. My results from Dexa and Scale are normally 23-25%. To be honest this number may be correct due to my advanced age (59) and shift in hormones. Guess I better up the cardio in 2018 and see what I can do about this. I don't want to weigh under 105 (101 is the bottom of the healthy range for me). Thanks for asking . . . and good luck with your dexa on Saturday.
BTW I started to take a graduate class in body fat measurement 20 years ago but dropped out due to the crazy amount of math the professor used to show the large error in body fat measurements (including dexa). I still enjoy collecting the data though.5 -
