03/26/2018 : SW: 125.8 CW: 124.0 GW: 115
Goals for this round: Get to 122.5
1. eat within calorie limits
2. no mindless/unhealthy snacking, limit eating out/takeaway
3. stay AF through 6/7 days,
4. 8000-10,000steps 6/7 days
5. 8-10 cups of H20
Day/Weight/Comment
3/29 - 124.0lbs(Starting no. looked doubtful, having dropped suddenly from 125.8 after MFP for last 3-4 days). Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.
3/30 - 124.0 Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.
3/31 - 122.4lbs (?) Ate in calorie limits; was sucked into a bit of mindless snacking took a few bites but otherwise stayed away; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day. The number on the scale looked doubtful. Was back to 124 midday, so may be a fluke. Remember to eat meals on time to avoid snacking.
4/1 - 123.5lbs Ate in calorie limits; snacked but accounted, eed to plan and control better; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.

Round 9 for me. I REALLY wanted to shoot for ONEDERLAND this round, so I'm going to. I may not get there, but I'm going to give it all I've got. Potential issues that could slow me down: one scheduled day of basketball, my brother-in-law flaking out on me again regarding teaching me squats and deadlifts (meeting up with him Saturday night), Easter (dinner and candy), and potentially feeling a little bit MEH. No matter what happens regarding my goal, though, my weight trend is clearly and steadily heading in the right direction.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/29 = 203.4 (-0.8). Another BOUNCE BACK™, but a good way to start the challenge. I'm getting excited about the Keto idea, but it's not so much about weight loss (as I'm getting pretty good at that). I've talked about potential health benefits (less inflammation, something good regarding my brain, etc.), but I also recognize how hopelessly addicted to sugar I am. To me, if it's not actually a drug, it might as well be. When I get near it, I go insane. It takes EVERYTHING in me to avoid partaking in this habit, and EVEN MORE to get me to stop once I've started. It's a craving, it NEVER makes me feel good when I eat it (just my taste buds!), and I think my life might be a little better when it's no longer part of it. This will be an experiment, but one that I'm excited to try. As soon as I make an appointment with my doctor to make sure I'm not going to kill myself with it, that is. Food was good yesterday, though may have been just slightly below maintenance (I'm careful to estimate "over" when tracking food). Going to the gym tonight with my wife. I'm pretty fit overall, and I did a bunch of research regarding proper form on squats and deadlifts, so I'm going to try them tonight (with very light weights). T minus one more week before I can play basketball again (stupid Spring Break).
3/30 = 203.2 (-0.2). Had a decent day eating yesterday. I'm noticing that, since I've been tracking steps and having them converted to "extra calories," I've been eating all those calories. It's not bad, necessarily, but it's been happening. What also happens, though, is I'm walking a lot more as a result. It's probably a good tradeoff, but I'm thinking I'll try to eat back no more than half (something I try to do on any exercise day). I'm 99% sure I'm going to try keto. If I can get through the first 8 weeks, I'll stick with it for at least 6 months to see if I notice any tangible benefits. I'm going to start in a couple of weeks, though, because I want to enjoy my Easter candy in a non-binge way. My last hurrah. Don't judge me!
3/31 = 202.0 (-1.2). DROOSH™ (night after drinking). Happy hour with coworkers led to 3 beers (not too bad), a quesadilla (all I had for dinner), and a minor binge on Peeps and Lucky Charms marshmallows (450 calories or so) when I got home. Food otherwise was pretty good for the day. Finally going to learn deadlifts and squats from my brother-in-law today (unless he flakes). Having a hard time trusting that this is my actual weight, but I'm going to suspend disbelief for today.
4/1 = 202.4 (+0.4). I expected a bigger bump than this, so I'm relatively happy with this number. I have to confess that I am writing this in the evening after a really long Easter Sunday at my in-laws' house. I had lunch out with my wife and brother-in-law yesterday, but at a small dinner to compensate (and stayed under calories). I finally learned how to deadlift and squat (as brother-in-law did NOT flake on me), so I'll be starting SL 5x5 soon (probably a week from tomorrow). I'll write about today (Easter) tomorrow morning after my weigh-in. Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend.

3/29 273.5 I like the start so far just a rest day so no lifting going to do some light steady state cardio rehab shoulder work feel like a dope lifting 5lb kettlebell and struggling but gotta do it
3/30 274.8 A little surprising but was a tad sick with upset stomach so guessing my body sucked in some water as was under calorie and did a light cardio for my off day at gym
3/31 272.8 Nice Woosh surprising went to opening day and ate ok but not my normal range of foods and not "clean" as normal so maybe I can lose weight and still enjoy everything in moderation

Nothing works unless you have a sustained calorie deficit over time. Anything will work if you have a sustained calorie deficit over time.
Motivation is overrated. What you need is education, willingness to eat less, a good plan, and discipline to stick to it.
According to Big Fat Myths: When You Lose Weight, Where Does the Fat Go? which is an interesting perspective on "diet" 148oz / 9.25 lbs of food/water/oxygen a day but depending on how efficient everything processes we don't operate on a perfect 24 hour cycle to use all that so you get those fluctuations. I think that is semi comforting to keep in mind we are not robots and CICO doesn't operate at perfect 24 hour scale either.5 -

3/29 - 195lbs. major munchies late last night so kinda surprised at a loss.
3/30 - 195lbs - surprising after eating 800 calories worth of turkey burgers last night.
3/31 - 196 - up 1 pound -oh well I was just following doctors orders to eat less greens. maybe 20oz ground beef patty was a little overkill. but so yummy. I do love meat.
4/1 - 195lbs - my children nicknamed me the cause of obesity and with everything on the menu today I believe they speak the truth.

Historical SW (January 2017): 193

R34 AVE = 160.2 (EW = 160)
R35 AVE = 157.2 (EW = 156.2)
Goal for this round: 155ish. This will most likely be a maintenance round for me if I’m lucky. I had a big loss last round and that is usually followed by a stagnant period. I’m ok with that; my body and I are figuring each other out! I also am in the middle of a kitchen make-over, so…I’m eating out almost every meal. I’ll be happy to mostly maintain until I can cook again.
Day/Weight/Comment
3/29 = 156.4
3/30 = 156.6
3/31 = 155.8 Got the bounce to reverse, so that’s good. Also I have a good grill now that hubby and I can cook on while the kitchen is still without appliances. Won’t have to eat out quite as often, although cleaning up after cooking, with no sink, will be fun.
4/1 = 155.4 Was SO good to cook at home last night! Easter buffet today though so calories will probably be over today. Hoping for some exercise in the afternoon though to help offset.
4/2 = 157.4. Easter cost me two pounds, but hopefully only for a little while. I can get this back down in a few days, I think.

Date - Weight - Update
3/29 - 192 lbs - Still recovering from my week away from my scale, determined that I need discipline to keep all of this going; Exercised in the morning - about 600 calories
3/30 - 191.6 lbs - I had Chinese food last night, but still managed to lose weight. Go me! (I also planned for Chinese food, so that probably has something to do with it); Exercised in the morning - about 600 calories; probably not eating too healthy tonight unless I can convince my date to go somewhere not deep fried...
3/31 - 191.2 - Date night kept it surprisingly healthy, despite the amount of carbs I consumed. Helped a friend move into her new apartment today, so I definitely got some lifting done. Let's hope Easter keeps me on track!
4/1 190.4 - I don't expect this trend to last, especially after the sheer amount of food consumed for Easter dinner... whoops. Back to the gym on Monday.
4/2 - 190.4 - YES! Somehow all of yesterday equated to a maintenance day. I'll take it, but I'm fully expecting the sodium-rich meal to catch up with me; Exercising in the afternoon - about 600 calories

3/29 196.6 I have noticed that in these weekly challenges that I will teeter back and forth and the have a 2 or 3 pound loss, right at the end. I love that this keeps me on track and motivated, but it is also an argument for the once a week weigh in. For now, I am sticking with you guys, cause it is working!
3/30 196.6 glad it stuck for a day, but it will be tough to keep it that way.... Easter is already killing me!

3/29 (Thursday) - 213 - Hopeful for 210 at the end of 10 days
3/30 (Friday) - 213 - I stepped on the scale this morning and all all sorts of #'s flashed by, from 211 point something to 212 to 213. Smh
3/31 (Saturday) - 213 - I consumed a couple of very carby foods for Passover, so my weight is a surprise to me. The "wine", juice for me, has 37 carbs per 8 ozs, I drank 3 ozs. The matzo has 25 net carbs per serving, which is my limit on keto.
4/1 (Sunday) - 214.2 - Lol. Not a good sign. Now not so hopeful for 210 by the end of the challenge. Tough week ahead, carb wise. Feast of Unleavened Bread ends Saturday evening.

Seeking lower bodyfat %8 -
I lost my way but have noticed how much I miss the support and feeling like I am not alone in this endless journey. Back with vengeance!
Date - Weight - Update
3/29 - 223.2 - I caught myself wondering why people are trying to lose weight when they are in the 100's...like my jealousy is asking 'Why? You are not overweight! I WISH that was the weight I saw!". Then I remember when that was me...I wasn't happy at 135 either. 100 pounds less than now! It's all about perspective and life choices that get us there and no matter where you start, when or why...we all just want to end up at the same place...happy with ourselves both inside and out. I get it now. You guys are all beautiful already, do it for you!

I would like to join this for the first time! I have been in maintenance since last July.
52 year old female, 5' 7"
Orig start weight: 145.0
Low weight in last 9 months 124.5
Maintenance range: 125-129.9
Day/Weight/Comment
3/29-Th 129.6 At top end of happy range after 3 vacations and 2 illnesses in last 8 weeks. Hope to get back to lower end of range. 45min. mat Pilates class, 50 min. Pilates reformer class, 100 minutes on my desk treadmill.
3/30-F 130.6 UGH! I am sure it is water, but still frustrated. Tracked and stayed within goal today. 50 min. Pilates reformer class, 180 minutes on desk treadmill.
3/31-S 128.8 Much better - need to keep it under 130 now. Tracked and stayed within net calories/AF, 50 min Pilates reformer class, over 5 miles walking.
4/1-S 128.0 Easter today - plan to get some walking in on desk treadmill. Suspect weight will be up tomorrow due to sodium, but plan to be mindful. Did not count calories today, but ate reasonably.
4/2-M 129.0 (high sodium food yesterday). Done with Pilates Reformer class, 4 miles walked so far this morning

Round 9 for me. I REALLY wanted to shoot for ONEDERLAND this round, so I'm going to. I may not get there, but I'm going to give it all I've got. Potential issues that could slow me down: one scheduled day of basketball, my brother-in-law flaking out on me again regarding teaching me squats and deadlifts (meeting up with him Saturday night), Easter (dinner and candy), and potentially feeling a little bit MEH. No matter what happens regarding my goal, though, my weight trend is clearly and steadily heading in the right direction.
Age: 45
Height 5’11”
Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs
Recent SW: 220.0 lbs (1/14/18)
Ultimate GW: 195.0 lbs (and then reevaluate)
R28 SW = 220.0 EW = 219.8 (-0.2) AW = 220.2 (+0.2)

R30 SW = 214.0 EW = 214.0 (-0.0) AW = 214.1 (-1.8)
R31 SW = 214.0 EW = 209.2 (-4.8) AW = 211.3 (-2.8)
R32 SW = 209.2 EW = 209.6 (+0.4) AW = 208.9 (-2.4)
R33 SW = 209.6 EW = 207.4 (-2.2) AW = 208.2 (-0.7)
R34 SW = 207.4 EW = 206.6 (-0.8) AW = 206.6 (-1.6)
R35 SW = 206.6 EW = 204.2 (-2.4) AW = 204.1 (-2.5)
Total loss (since 1/14/18, but before this round): 15.8 lbs
Average weight loss per round: 2.18 lbs
R36 SW = 204.2
Goal for this round: ONEDERLAND (going for it)
Day/Weight/Comment
3/29 = 203.4 (-0.8). Another BOUNCE BACK™, but a good way to start the challenge. I'm getting excited about the Keto idea, but it's not so much about weight loss (as I'm getting pretty good at that). I've talked about potential health benefits (less inflammation, something good regarding my brain, etc.), but I also recognize how hopelessly addicted to sugar I am. To me, if it's not actually a drug, it might as well be. When I get near it, I go insane. It takes EVERYTHING in me to avoid partaking in this habit, and EVEN MORE to get me to stop once I've started. It's a craving, it NEVER makes me feel good when I eat it (just my taste buds!), and I think my life might be a little better when it's no longer part of it. This will be an experiment, but one that I'm excited to try. As soon as I make an appointment with my doctor to make sure I'm not going to kill myself with it, that is. Food was good yesterday, though may have been just slightly below maintenance (I'm careful to estimate "over" when tracking food). Going to the gym tonight with my wife. I'm pretty fit overall, and I did a bunch of research regarding proper form on squats and deadlifts, so I'm going to try them tonight (with very light weights). T minus one more week before I can play basketball again (stupid Spring Break).
3/30 = 203.2 (-0.2). Had a decent day eating yesterday. I'm noticing that, since I've been tracking steps and having them converted to "extra calories," I've been eating all those calories. It's not bad, necessarily, but it's been happening. What also happens, though, is I'm walking a lot more as a result. It's probably a good tradeoff, but I'm thinking I'll try to eat back no more than half (something I try to do on any exercise day). I'm 99% sure I'm going to try keto. If I can get through the first 8 weeks, I'll stick with it for at least 6 months to see if I notice any tangible benefits. I'm going to start in a couple of weeks, though, because I want to enjoy my Easter candy in a non-binge way. My last hurrah. Don't judge me!
3/31 = 202.0 (-1.2). DROOSH™ (night after drinking). Happy hour with coworkers led to 3 beers (not too bad), a quesadilla (all I had for dinner), and a minor binge on Peeps and Lucky Charms marshmallows (450 calories or so) when I got home. Food otherwise was pretty good for the day. Finally going to learn deadlifts and squats from my brother-in-law today (unless he flakes). Having a hard time trusting that this is my actual weight, but I'm going to suspend disbelief for today.
4/1 = 202.4 (+0.4). I expected a bigger bump than this, so I'm relatively happy with this number. I have to confess that I am writing this in the evening after a really long Easter Sunday at my in-laws' house. I had lunch out with my wife and brother-in-law yesterday, but at a small dinner to compensate (and stayed under calories). I finally learned how to deadlift and squat (as brother-in-law did NOT flake on me), so I'll be starting SL 5x5 soon (probably a week from tomorrow). I'll write about today (Easter) tomorrow morning after my weigh-in. Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend.
4/2 = 205.0 (+2.6). This would be shocking if it wasn't so expected. Holidays are kind of meh. My plan for this week was to spread my candy out over the next two weeks. I'll have some of it, but I think I'll be giving most of it away. Ready to jump back on the wagon this week. Have a friend visiting on Tuesday and Wednesday; will try to make healthy choices and eat/drink reasonable portions.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
So far this has been ALL KETO - NO EXERCISE! I’m within a few pounds of my goal!
3/29 139.0 First time in weeks I’ve added HWC to my coffee and it was a Venti latte from Starbucks. No great eating choices working at the quilt show yesterday either. I should have just had the protein shake I took. Back on track today!
3/30 139.5 Sweet Tomatoes for lunch yesterday. Red Lobster with A&C today. Don’t understand the gain, will stick to the plan.
3/31 139.0 I had the Lunch Garlic Shrimp Scampi with broccoli and a garden salad with red wine vinegar for lunch yesterday. YUM! Today I’m going to the quilt show.
4/1 139.0 Yesterday morning I had my coffee and grabbed a “3 ingredient peanut butter cookie” as I went out the door. That little cookie kept me satisfied until 6PM! Then I made a hamburger patty, fried egg and spinach. (The cookie recipe says to make 15 1” balls but I ended up with 26 1” balls. Clearly the writer needed a ruler! LOL)
4/2 139.0. Water fitness starts today! At 7:45AM it is 65* and sunny! I’ve had my morning coffee and have an hour to “process” it.9 -
I'm back! Thanks to all!

Day/Weight/Comment
3/29 - 149.2
So interesting (to me, at least!). I'm eating more than when I was hovering around 150. No change in activity level (yet). Apparently I wasn't eating enough. Fine by me!
3/30 - 149.2
Going out for lunch with a friend, but I have my order planned. I do intend to have a chocolate something this weekend, so I'm behaving in anticipation.
3/31 - 149.8
I stuck to the plan at lunch, but had a burger for dinner and I know I'm retaining water. All good!
4/1 - 149.4
I'm surprised, as I had a bit of a stress-induced, mindful pigout yesterday. We made an offer on a house (our fifth offer - we've been out bid on four) and I had a pecan rol. It helped, though I'm on pins & needles waiting to hear. Gaaaa! Anyway, I expect an increase tomorrow. We shall see.
4/2 - 150.4
Yep, there's that pigout. All good. Back on track.
