Struggling with some life events and sadness. Trying to hang in there.Woman, Age 46, 5'6"
OSW: 252
Round 32: SW 240.6; EW 241.6 (+1.0), Ave 241.92

Round 36: Late SW 238.8; EW 239--vacation ended halfway
Round 37: SW 238.8; GW no gains
4/8 / 238.8 / Trying to hold on despite wanting to drown my sorrows in cake.
4/9 / 239 / Am feeling a bit more like myself today, despite TOM wonkiness. Back at work this morning. The routine sometimes really helps me.
4/10 / 237.4 / Feeling better yet again. Excellent.
4/11 / 239 / Bouncy bouncy bouncy! Still, my mood is so much improved it's not even in the same ballpark, so I ain't complainin' for once.
4/12 / 237.8 / I'm hungry! I was hungry yesterday, too. Bah!
4/13 / 238.8 / At some point, I'll stop wanting to eat everything. I hope.
4/14 / 238.8 / Maybe things are settling down.
4/15 / 236.8 / Weighed late this morning, so this is likely a false loss!
4/16 / 237.2 / Under calories yesterday for the first time in a while. Woot! I'm feeling way more in control of everything right now, which is a great feeling after a couple of weeks of real struggle to feel like I had the power to make changes. I'm human. I will struggle at times. I just need to hoist myself up again and again and keep moving forward. Consider myself hoist!8 -

Once more into the fray.... I've decided to start including my average calories for the round with my end weight so I can really get a sense of what works. I do keep my macros pretty steady, but calories fluctuate and the average matters more than daily in my experience. I'm interested to see that although I exceeded my calorie goal during the last round and my weight jumped around a bit, I finished pretty much where I started. So maybe my TDEE is higher than I think and in theory I could eat a little more than I thought and still lose. We shall see. Glad to be back - thanks for being here for support & inspiration!
Goals:
Weight ~~ Lose slowly, hit <149 this round.
Food ~~ 1548 calories max (estimated TDEE); P 20-25%, C 35-45%, F 30-45%

Day/Weight/Comment
4/8 - 149.6
After I posted yesterday, I decided to go a step farther for a longer view, so I averaged my daily calories for the past 30 days, during which my weight has been pretty steadily within half a pound of 149.5. Although my daily calories fluctuated from ~1400-2000, the average was 1549, which is 1 cal away from where I have put my TDEE for a while now (with minimal exercise). I really like having this data, and I'm since I do not want to cut my calories any more (metabolism & hunger), I'm happy holding steady here until I do get back to my typical activity level (soon!). It's easy to get wrapped up with the day-to-day and forget that reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is a long-term project - a lifestyle. Don't now if this helps anyone else, but it helps me a lot.
4/9 - 150.8
Eeek! But not a surprise - I had a major blow out yesterday. I knew what I was doing and did it anyway - I've been lusting after a pastry and some other things I don't usually eat, so I did it. And it's fine. Back on the wagon today with healthful food and lots to do.
4/10 - 150
A smidge better. I ate properly yesterday, still fending off my big splurge. Going out for lunch, but I'll be good.
4/11 - 150
Not much to say about this. I've really had the munchies lately. I'm not exceeding my average calories by much, but enough obviously to show up on the scale. OTOH, my sodium was high yesterday, so there's that. Jeans still fit!
4/12 - 150
The good news is that the house hunt is over! Yay! Even with the impending (short distance) move in May, this should reduce my stress level considerably and we should be able to stick to a more regular schedule of eating at home. Yay!
4/13 - 151
WHAT? Still delayed reaction? Or the grilled cheese I had for lunch dinner? (Still well within my calories.) Bummer.
4/14 - 150
OK, I still may make my <149 goal for the round. I went for a nice long walk yesterday - it was 78F - but today its 40s and pouring rain. But spring is coming!
4/15 - 150.5
Shoot! But I just tallied my ave the past 10 days and it's 100/day higher than my TDEE (maintenance calories), so it makes sense. I'll take that as a good thing as it confirms what I believe is my TDEE. So starting today I have promised myself that I will aim for TDEE minus 0-10%. Back on the wagon, and if it ever stops raining, back to my long walks.
4/16 - 151
OK, it is what it is. And not a surprise, since my calorie average the past 10 days is 150 over my estimated maintenance level (I underestimated yesterday). So I will look at this information as confirmation that I have a good understanding of my caloric needs to maintain, and now, moving forward, I can use this info to get back on track and drop the 20 or so additional pounds I want to lose over the next 6 months, give or take.

Round 37 (my first go at this type of challenge -- might be what I need to break out of my weight loss funk)
SW(R37) 311.6 GW (R37) 308.0
4/8- 311.6
4/9- 309.2 (-2.4) (good Sunday for tracking, kept calories down for weigh in with my doctor this morning -- good motivation. Need to continue solid tracking and increasing cardio and weightlifting for the next nine days.)
4/10- 307.6 (-4.0) (likely this is water weight gain and now loss going into the start on 4/8 for this round -- trying to focus on being under 300 as my next mini goal on the long journey to one-derland. Long journey but day by day and 10 days by 10 days)
4/11- 306.0 (-5.6) (amazing what a little tracking and cardio can do. I'm sure this is still losing water weight from a run up to 311 but I'll take it for sure (or my scale is broken). Feels good to be in sight of 299. More tracking today.)
4/12- 307.4 (-4.2) (ok, this is when I normally get frustrated and throw my hands up with the scale showing an increase. However, there are five more days, I'm down 4.2 pounds in five days and I'm not going to quit because I know where quitting will take me. And I know the likely cause -- kid's choose dinner night last night -- they chose pizza. My kryptonite. Log it, track it, admit it and move on.)
4/13- 307.4 (-4.2) (a little stress at work and instead of eating the whole vending machine I had carrots and hummus. Not nearly as tasty as some chocolate but I was happy I didn't sabotage myself and then throw the day away. Four more days -- would like to get to 305.0 even. Some work to do but short term goal is in sight)
4/14- 308.0 (-3.6) (come on now, focus. not so much sabotage as caught up celebrating with too much food. Three more days to get this right and stay on track.)
4/15- 308.0 (-3.6) (this is like a 10 round fight -- new "me" versus old "me". Round 8 was a draw. "New" is going to win rounds 9 and 10 to win the 10 day challenge )
4/16- 308.0 (-3.6) (ok, plateau perhaps. Or I have hit my goal for this 10 day and my body has decided to wait until the next round.)

day/Weight/Comment
4/8 139.7 I'm super happy I finally broke 140 this morning. I'm enjoying my fasting routine but slipped up with self control a couple of days last week. Today I get to eat from 10 am to 8 pm. Then I'll start another fasting phase. I'm starting to see some weight loss changes in my body.
4/9 141.9 I ate a lot of carbs yesterday so I'm not surprised to see this gain. Have to be better about watching what I eat today. I can only have lunch and dinner today. Lunch is 450 cal so I can have somewhat of a decent dinner later and still be under my calorie limit today.
4/10 141.5 I'm down a little but still not happy about my weight this week.
4/11 141.2 I'm steadily lossing a little. I'm craving sweets bad recently.
4/12 141.4 back up a little today. We ended up having dinner at a friend's so I think I over ate just a bit. I need to figure something out so I can loss the weight I need before the wedding.
4/13 139.6 I don't know why I dropped almost 2 pounds in a day but I'm so happy I did. I'm hoping I'll stay out of the 140's for good now.
4/14 139.3 I'm glad to see I'm getting closer to my goal.
4/15 140.0 I over ate at my uncle's b day party so I'm not surprised to see this.
4/16 140.3 I am bloated today thanks mother nature. I went on a 4 mile run/walk yesterday and it felt great. Maybe I'll start running consistently again.

4/8 148.4 This is my plateau. This is where I sabotage myself and gain it all back. I'm pushing through it this time. FTDI day 6.
4/9: 148.8 I was under my calorie goals but rested. I'm on heavy duty medication due to rotator cuff tendinitis. I think I'll save the muscle relaxers for night time so that I can do cardio during the day.
4/10: 147.8 Yaya! I'm finding that by drinking 64 oz. really makes a difference! Got my cardio in yesterday.

Round 2!
Round 36 - SW 167 EW 168
SW - 172 on 1/14/18
CSW - 168.2
CEW - 165
UGW - 130
Day/Weight/Comment
4/8 - 168.2 - Had a girls night last night and while it was extremely fun, I took in a lot of calories through mixed drinks. I kept my dinner healthy but expecting an increase in tomorrows weigh in. Would love to make my goal for this round as I didn't last round so lots of water starting today, health food chooses and lots of gym time.
4/9 - 170.0 - There's the increase I was expecting to see. Woke up with migraine this morning, hoping it'll be gone by this afternoon so I can hit the gym after work. Feel like I've been stuck around this 167-170 weight forever and starting to feel discouraged but I won't give up, just got to keep myself motivated.
4/10 - 170.0 - Still have the migraine and not feeling well this morning. Wasn't expecting for a good weigh in this morning but the scale not going up is a win in my book. Wish I could get down to the weight I started round 36 at and never see 170 again. Will work out after work today and hopefully see a good weigh in tomorrow. Healthy packed lunch, lots of water, gym and healthy home cooked meal for dinner tonight is the plan.
4/11 - 169.0 - Glad to see the scale going in the right direction. Had a very busy day yesterday but was able to still eat healthy and fit in some time at the gym. Work hours are changing for today because of some meetings so will need to figure out when I can fit in some exercise today so I can keep on track for the next few days and make my goal for this round.
4/12 - 169.0 - Happy with this weigh in, I wasn't able to work out as much as I would have liked yesterday so I'm relieved to not see 170 again. Back to a normal schedule today so fingers crossed I'll see 168 tomorrow.
4/13 - 167.2 - whooo-hooo!!! Hopefully this weight stays. Weighed myself 3 times just to make sure it was right. Wasn't expecting such a big drop today so even if I go up a little tomorrow I'll still be happy. Excited to see this number though and it's much needed motivation to not sabotage it by just eating whatever and not exercising this weekend. Didn't think I'd make my goal this round but seeing this number today makes me think that if I just continue with the hard work I've put in so far I'll be able to do it.
4/14 - 167.2 - Glad to see this number again. Usually when I get excited about a loss, I'm right back up the next morning. This actually makes me believe I might not ever see 170 again and that's very rewarding. Yesterday's loss and trying on some of my summer shorts (from just last summer and they were almost too tight! Yikes!) REALLY helped me control what I ate and drank last night. Didn't really think I gained that much from last summer to this summer but I'll just turn the upset into motivation and hopefully instead of buying bigger shorts that fit this summer I'll be buying smaller ones.
4/15 - 169.2 - Ended up going out last minute for pizza with some friends after I already ate some chips and dip because I was figuring on a healthy dinner so I know where this weight came from this morning and I'll be careful with what I eat today and while Sunday is usually a rest day for me, I think I'll take a walk if the rain stops or do some jump roping to help get rid of this gain as fast as possible. I'm way too close to 170 again and I'm trying to never see that number on the scale again. Lots of water and fruits for me today, hoping to see a better weigh in tomorrow.
4/16 - 167.4 - I have a hard time believing this number, I was under calories yesterday but I really didn't do much exercising and I didn't drink much water so I feel it's an undeserved drop and I'll just be right back up tomorrow. I have a hard time planning out breakfasts and lunches on the weekends for some reason, I'm good about packing a healthy lunch through the week when I'm busy but on weekends I tend to just grab whatever's there and easiest or eat whatever I'm making for the kids and it's not always the healthiest. I need to figure out a way to keep myself on track with my food on the weekends and I feel like my weight wouldn't yo-yo so much if I did. Curious as to what my weight will be tomorrow.

This is Round 10 for me. I had a rough end of Round 9, but there are things to look forward to. I'm officially going to start a keto WOE on Monday, 4/16, and I'm going to work on cutting down my carbs significantly before then (to get myself in the mood).

Day/Weight/Comment
4/8 = 207.0 (-0.4). Played basketball yesterday, but had parents over and took them out to dinner to my favorite Mexican place. At least weight is heading in the proper direction.
4/9 = 205.4 (-1.6). BOUNCE BACK™. I had a good day eating yesterday, topped off by my favorite salad from a relatively healthy restaurant. Went grocery shopping for the week and tried to look around for some easy ready-made stuff that will work in a pinch when I start keto next week, and was able to find a couple of things (which was nice). My wife and I started our SL 5x5 last night, and I only wanted to spank her once or twice as she argued with me regarding a program I have done extensive research on (and that she knows NOTHING about). We got through it. I'm really happy to see my weight headed back down relatively quickly. As much as I know big spikes in weight are very temporary (as long as I'm being accountable and generally staying the course), it still sometimes feels traumatizing to see them. I'm going to begin to cut down on my carbs and stay away from all sweets this week (except my birthday on Saturday) in preparation for my new lifestyle.
4/10 = 204.2 (-1.2). Another BOUNCE BACK™. After freaking out 3 days ago (gaining 5 lbs in 2 days), it's nice to have again the experience of noticing things going back to normal as the days pass. Just about down to my SW from last round, and I couldn't ask for anything more at this point. I ate pretty well yesterday (slightly under maintenance), but I had a sugar binge (500 calories or so). I'm officially throwing out my remaining candy when I get home tonight. It's the Devil. I'll have a bit of my birthday cake on Saturday, but that's it for sweets for the foreseeable future. I need to figure out some Keto stuff on the subject of sweets (whether to subtract from total carbs fiber and sugar alcohols), but I think I'm generally just going to avoid them at this point, unless I learn something amazing. I need to get my taxes done, and I have some things from work that I need to accomplish at home, so I'm going to focus on that for the next couple of days (at the expense of exercise). I'll get back to the exercise on Thursday (SL 5x5 and my normal basketball night).
4/11 = 202.6 (-1.6). ANOTHER BOUNCE BACK™! This is just getting silly now, but I love it. And if I'm being honest and objective about this, what's happening right now fits a clear pattern that's been well-established by me and others here. For me - one bad meal takes 4-5 days to recover from. 4 days later, I'm just about recovered. Yesterday was great eating-wise. I was under calories, and no sugar binge. Taxes just about done. Basketball tomorrow, plus day 2 of SL 5x5. I miss exercise.
4/12 = 203.4 (+0.8). This feels likely a normal fluctuation, even if it's on the slightly extreme side. I was under maintenance yesterday, though salt intake was a little high. I have basketball and SL 5x5 tonight, and I'm going to make this a GREAT eating day. All the candy in my home had been eliminated (by my mouth). Still trying to cut down on carbs in preparation for my new Keto lifestyle (starting Monday).
4/13 = 201 (-2.4). WHOOSH™. The circle is complete. I'm a pound lower than I've been since I joined this group. This happens, of course, on the day before my birthday. I'm going to try my best to keep it under control tomorrow. ONEDERLAND is so close I can taste it. Food was great yesterday. Basketball was amazing, too. Drank 21.5 cups of water. No complaints today!
4/14 = 202.2 (+1.2). 46 today. Going to try my best to plan things out. There's dinner (burger) and cake tonight. A couple of beers later when I go bowling. I'm going to enjoy myself, but I'm trying not to have "a weekend" that I have to spend all week coming back from. Had a screwy lunch yesterday that threw things off for me food-wise, but I was around maintenance calories. I think my extreme WHOOSH™ from yesterday may not have been completely accurate, and that this is just a correction. My goal for the next 3 days is to maintain this weight. Basketball on Monday will help.
4/15 = 204.0 (+1.8). This actually wasn't bad for my birthday last night. I moderated as much as I could: amazing dinner, delicious cake, and a couple of beers when I went bowling. Keto starts tomorrow morning. Got my blood work done yesterday morning in order to set a baseline for my conversation with my doctor (about Keto). My weekend is over today (eating should be good). SL 5x5 tonight with my wife, basketball tomorrow. I think I'll have one last beer tonight.
4/16 = 203.4 (-0.6). This is my first day of Keto! Gaining only 2.4 lbs over this weekend was a victory. My wife surprised me with dinner last night that was not on my plan (cochinita pibil, for those of you who know Yucatecan food) from an amazing restaurant that she found. I'm not as prepared for Keto as I'd like to be (food-wise), but I'm diving in head-first. My wife is going to grocery shop for me tonight (I'll get her a list). SL 5x5 and basketball tonight.
