Round 41 (my 5th)

#37: 142.6 - 137.4 = -5.2
#38: 137.4 - 136.8 = -0.6
#39: 136.8 - 136.2 = -0.6
#40: 136.2 - 135.0 = -1.2

Day/Weight/Comment

5/18: 135.6, enjoyed a nice date with wine tasting and 1/2 of a thin crust pizza. Well worth the salt blowup.

5/19: 134.8, a little under my daily minimum calories and macros too fat heavy. Very busy at work yesterday and a sick dog all last night. I'm curious to see how my energy level will affect my appetite and cravings today.

5/20: 134.2, been putting in a lot of work hours = lack of meal prep and cooking. Eggs are this girl’s best friend. Egg salad (3 medium eggs + .5 TBS mayo + .5 TBS mustard) on 1 slice of Dave’s Awesome bread-thin slice is a very filling meal.

5/21: 134.2, was at a deficit yesterday, but I was preoccupied with snackish-junk food; a sure sign I was tired. Good thing I didn’t have cash on me and I was too busy most of the day to cave in. The accountability of this challenge and my group text friends is really keeping me on track. Thank you everyone.

5/22: 133.4, certainly enjoyed this. Not a lot of food yesterday which isn’t great. Definitely looking forward to my next day off.

5/20 - 79.6kg. Had a late night snack last night. 70 cal ice block. Then went to bed to prevent more snacking. Have stayed on track today!
5/21 - 79.4kg. Average day today, switching to night shift so slept a lot but did eat some bad snacks at work overnight.
5/22 - 78.9. Possibly 2 days of loss into one because of my schedule switch for work weight was taken at 8pm after waking up for night shift. Terrible day food wise though. Ate entirely junk food and pizza at 8.30pm. Ugh.

05/18--178.8 I woke up feeling 'puffy' and groggy today, and I have a headache. The scale reflects how I feel. Not a great start to this round but I'll try to make up for it this weekend.
05/19--TOM snuck up on me, so I'm avoiding the scale for a few days! That explains how I felt yesterday. Went to Pilates this morning and tracking my calories; I tend to want to binge eat this time of the month so I have to be extra vigilant. Was going to get some landscaping done but it's too cold outside today--hopefully tomorrow!
05/20 (Birthday)--Skipping the scale today. Last night we went to dinner to celebrate my birthday and we also bought a bunch of shrubs and plants to start filling in our bare front yard. The sun is shining and I can't wait to get out there and get things in the ground!
05/21--178.0 Not super happy with this number but I know it's probably related to TOM.
05/22--179.4 OMG you guys. I was soooooooo hungry last night. I ate WAY over my calories. Still, I'm hoping most of this is just water retention. I am noticing a pattern; I went back and looked and the last time I really felt like bingeing was right after TOM. I love that these challenges have helped me identify patterns so I can start trying to be better prepared.

@curvycaloriess Not to discourage you but that you might be well informed. All of those “free” foods can add up to a LOT of calories. I know that when they made fruit free several years ago, NO ONE ever told me that only X number of servings were allowed as free. When a local staff person explained the new program on the news in December, she said, “If it’s dinner time and you have run out of points, you can still eat whatever you want from the free foods list.” There have to be limits but, again, that was never mentioned. I am a Lifetime member (from 1986 and 2009) finally back at goal thanks to Keto.

@curvycaloriess @quiltingjaine Agreed, everything has a price and free foods still have calories. I believe each of us needs to discover what works best for us; WW Points, Keto, tracking calories, it doesn't matter which path you choose as long as you can consistently follow it.
I'm a calorie counter because it works best for me. WW Points - too vague for me. Keto/Atkins/South Beach etc... leads me to carbohydrate binging. Visual portioning, again too vague. I need the structure of calorie tracking.

@rkl_ Quality of food calories is just as important as quantity. Look for food trends in your food diary. Specifically, on the days you see an increase in weight what did you have the day(s) before and vice versa for the days you see a decrease in weight. If you see a trend follow the one(s) that leads to weight loss, avoid the one(s) that lead to gains.
Another thing to keep in mind is daily weigh in is a great tool for helping us see the results of our food & drink choices. It's normal to have daily weight fluctuations.
Hope this helps.

I use my average weight for my weight loss. I am not making a weight goal for this round; instead my only goal for this round is to reach 10K steps for 7/10 days. Steps: 4/10

R40: SW: 218.9

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18--218.4 Back to my lowest weight so far this year. Kettlebell tonight.
5/19--218.0 Got home after kettlebell and realized I had walked less than 5k steps. So after I ate I took the dog out and got in the rest of my steps in. Really have to work to get my water in on the weekends. Going car shopping today!

5/20--217.5 Surprised about the drop. We'll see if it sticks. Got my 10K steps in again yesterday, same thing as the day before where I had only taken 5k steps before having to take the dog on an evening walk. So, today what I did was take the dog on a long walk in the morning and I have gotten my 10K steps in. Working on water today.
5/21--218.0 Not surprised about the rebound. Did not get a lot of water in yesterday. Kettlebell tonight and probably another walk with the dog to get the rest of my steps in.
5/22--217.3 Did better with water yesterday, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bounce back again tomorrow. Decided not to go to kettlebell last night, just didn't feel like it. Instead hung out with hubby and dog and we all went for a long walk in the evening and got my steps in.

FSlow and steady. I'm going to keep riding this wave. I think I'm very close to my final weight goal. I'm going to start thinking in terms of what I'm doing AFTER I reach my weight goal. I have not returned to heavy lifting since I hurt my back, but I will (soon). As far as numbers go, I want to see if I can keep my lean body mass where it is (or increase) while simultaneously reducing my body fat percentage. I'm at just under 16%, but I'd like to see 12%. I want to know what my abs look like! I'm going to start including my scale's body fat percentage reading (even though I know it's not accurate) with my daily check-in.

Day/Weight/Comment

5/18 = 192.6 (no change). Basketball cancelled again last night. AFTER I drive half an hour to get there. For the first time in a while I had a frustration/depressed binge (related to basketball). Nothing too crazy, but I was done eating, and then I had a couple of raw chocolate balls and 2 servings of Thai Lime Chile almonds. And a stick of Monterey Jack cheese. I'm going to an amusement park today, so there should be tons of walking. And there's basketball tomorrow. I forgot to check my body fat percentage this morning. It's going to be a process!

5/19 = 192.2 (-0.4), BF% = 16.0. Walked over 15k steps at Magic Mountain. I was good at the park with food, but binged a bit again when I got home. I've been sneaking in a little chocolate (wife has it around) the past few nights, which I've got to address. I'm going to work on sticking much more closely to my macros. I'm not having any real negative consequences at this point, but I want to nip this in the bud. I have basketball this morning.[/quote]

5/20 = 192.0 (-0.2), BF% = 16.2. My knee felt really loose at basketball yesterday. I didn't hurt myself, but it didn't feel good. Ate out for brunch, and got a nice rare steak and eggs. Macros were okay. I was a little light on water, at least for a basketball day.

5/21 = 195.4 (+3.4). Let's call yesterday what it was: a full-blown slip. It was my father-in-law's birthday party. I was pretty good with food for most of the day (this is becoming a pattern that is not shaken, in a very good way). It started with my wife doing Mexican corn (with mayo, butter, cheese, and chili). Corn is not a great food for my diet, but I had more than I probably should have (the toppings are all fine, though). Later came dessert. My wife got a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake from the bakery in LA called Portos. It's ridiculous. I told her a few times throughout the day that I wasn't going to have any, but she persisted, and I gave in. Twice. Back to my eating during the day, though. I didn't track volume, only "quality." The food I was eating fit well into the Keto lifestyle, but I probably overate a bit overall, even before the corn/cheesecake. Anyhoo. It was a slip, not a full-blown relapse. Let's see how long it takes for my body to fully BWHOOSH™ (formerly known as BOUNCE BACK™).

Maybe I just need to start eating more at maintenance as I get back into heavy lifting. I don't know. I feel good today, though. Sorry for the rant!

My weight loss has been very slow and very unsteady, but I'm trying to get there without ever feeling like I'm doing something hard. I'm taking it very easy on myself and just moving when I can, cutting back when I can, and being mellow about the whole thing.

Woman, Age 47, 5'6"
OSW: 252

Round 32: SW 240.6; EW 241.6 (+1.0), Ave 241.92
Round 33: SW 241.6; EW 238.2 (-3.4), Ave 239.84 (-2.08)
Round 34: SW 238.2; EW 237.2 (-1.0), Ave 238.28 (-1.56)
Round 35: SW 237.2--vacation started halfway
Round 36: Late SW 238.8; EW 239--vacation ended halfway
Round 37: SW 238.8; EW 237.4 (-1.4), Ave 238.10
Round 38: SW 237; EW 235.4 (-2), Ave 236.74 (-1.36)
Round 39: SW 234.8; EW 234.2, Ave 235.06 (-1.68)
Round 40: SW 236.4 (late); EW 236, Ave 236.85 (+1.79)
Round 41: SW 236; GW 232

5/18 / 236 / While I weigh the same as yesterday, this weigh in was two hours earlier, so I am pleased. I was hoping the rain would make my allergies clear up, but no such luck so far. Boo! Happy Friday!

5/19 / 234.8

5/20 / 235.4 / We went to a baseball double header yesterday, so I was away from normal food all day.

5/21 / 236.2 / I drank and drank and drank yesterday. I'm more hydrated than a pool! But Sunday was another day of weird eating, not because I was away from home, but I felt like I was starving all day. I was significantly over calories, but I'm okay with having a day like that on occasion. I am starting today feeling less like I need to gnaw on someone.

5/22 / 234.4 / That's better!

Slow and steady. I'm going to keep riding this wave. I think I'm very close to my final weight goal. I'm going to start thinking in terms of what I'm doing AFTER I reach my weight goal. I have not returned to heavy lifting since I hurt my back, but I will (soon). As far as numbers go, I want to see if I can keep my lean body mass where it is (or increase) while simultaneously reducing my body fat percentage. I'm at just under 16%, but I'd like to see 12%. I want to know what my abs look like! I'm going to start including my scale's body fat percentage reading (even though I know it's not accurate) with my daily check-in.

Age: 46
Height 5’11”
Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs
Recent SW: 220.0 lbs (1/14/18)
Ultimate GW: 185 lbs (and 12% body fat)

@puddlegoober I believe society has become so accustomed to being overweight they see lean people as unhealthy. You're goal BF% is within the healthy range so go for it.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - Round 41
