5/23. Same. really,hard to believe that it isn't down swam & was under calories ,water ok...but As long as that emotional "I can do this" button is pushed on I stay motivated but hope tomorrow I get a negative on the scale.I have such a long way to go.5 -
I started this challenge at round 27, at 227.8. I ended round 38 at 194. That is a 33 pound loss! I love this challenge! It goes against everything I USED to believe about weighing in daily, and has taught me to really listen to my body, not get discouraged by small set backs, and to celebrate the small victories!
Round 41 SW 189.2 My goal is keep moving down and stay in the 180's and to finally get to the 40 pound mark!

5/19 188.8 Went to Zumba today for the first time in a while...feels great!

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.
05/23 (Anniversary)--177.8 Okay, that's much better! I felt like I was back on track yesterday.

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.
5/23: 133.4, looking like this is going to stick despite the birthday cake. Lol!

Round 41
5/23 - Starting late. I’ve been very off the last 1.5weeks which I’ve put it down to PMS. But TOM has started but my tummy is not feeling well still. On Monday (21.05.18), I felt so full and I wasnt able to eat properly but i tried. On Monday night, my stomach was very bloated and it was hurting mildly. Didnt think much of it - thought maybe my over indulging it from the previous week and Sunday was causing this. Came Tuesday, my bloating had gone slightly down over night but still there but by night time, it was very bloated again that it was hurting. It was uncomfortable and waddling like I was in the late pregnancy stages. My partner made a comment that my stomach looked odd. I think I might have eaten something that I’m sensitive to but I havent been sensitive to anything my whole life! I checked my food diary and I can only put it down to have gluten at night time as I didnt have gluten products in the morning. Best to check with the docs..
@biche896 Definitely check with your doctor. This isn't normal and there's a chance it may be more than gluten.4 -

I figured I'd be up after a weekend visiting family. My hands are visibly swollen from water retention too. I feel like crap. I'm going to work on eating better, feeling better, and getting back to my exercise routine this week and see if I can recover from this weekend.
5/23 157.0
Had a good run last night, and drank lots of water all day. Im going to keep it up. I would love to be back to where I started by the end of this challenge, but Id be happy if I at least continue to head in the right direction.

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"

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!
5/23 / 234.8 / Weigh in much earlier than yesterday, so this is a positive sign! Eating back under control.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18 202.7 Excited for this round! Getting close to being under 200! Good luck, everyone!
5/19 202.1 I love graphing my weight loss. I don’t plot my trend line for weight loss. I just plot my actual weight for each morning. I’ve had 10 days of weight loss in a row on my scale. Based on the past several weeks of my graph, I’m expecting a few days of my weight leveling off before it begins that downward slope again. Guess I’ll see if that happens this time. Woke up to another rainy day here in NJ. Walking in my yard is like walking on a wet sponge. All you do is squish.
5/20 201.7 Still going down. Not going to complain.
5/21 201.4
5/22 201.6 Could be I weighed in 3 hours earlier than usual, or could be my weight loss leveling off for a few days after 12 days of loss in a row. Whichever….no worries. Have a nice day, everyone!
5/23 201.0 I'm wondering if I'll get below 200 by the end of this round. We'll see. Being good and sticking to my calorie goal each day.

Boundaries for R39:

- No yeast aka bread and alcohol;
- No oil aka nuts, chips, cheese, meat;

5/17: 149.0. (T-1) Another day for sleeping in. That’s okay. I’ll have plenty of activity today. The yard needs mowing and I’ll push away from my desk and walk at lunch. Lunch is packed.
5/18: Field trip with the girl child, spelunking. Morning workout. Food- was okay.
5/19: 148.5. Logged it. Won’t see it again for a while, but I happened. Weight lifting. Followed by golf. Lots of activity. But the food just wasn't there. A couple glasses of wine. Some chocolates...
5/20: Busy day in the kitchen. Food was plentiful and on plan but wasn't logged. Active day but no formal activities. Tracker at 12k steps. No happy face today since the food just wasn't there.
5/21: 152.0- Was away from MFP this weekend. Allowing myself to have some freedom from tracking lately and few things (ice cream, wine, grilled cheese) that are not within my "plan". Today I am back on track. Excited to see a new number (<149) in the days to come as I shed the retained water from my indiscretions. Walked at lunch with Leslie. Mowed the yard after work with some other yard work. ~17k steps. Food was on track and logged. It was a GOOD day!
5/22: 150.0- Morning weight workout. Won’t be able to walk at lunch. Got in about 15 mins of TKD before the girl child overheated and we had to go home. Food within boundaries. And logged.
5/23: 148.5- Slept hard last night. Body temperature is up. Is Weight lifting causing this? No morning workout. Time today to get out and walk at work. Bike ride tonight?

Round 37 194lbs start and finish but did see 192 for a couple days
Round 38 –196lbs starting – 194lbs end. I went into this round kinda heavy. Not really counting this as a loss
Round 39 goal – would like to see at least one morning weigh in less than 190# - goal obtained but maybe went a little to far. 187.8lbs ending weight.
Round 40 goal. – consistency – did okay till vacation week. Ending weight 188lbs
Round 41 goal – vacation is over. Goal is to get back to eating my limited food choice diet

Age 60, 5'4.5" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me. Changed MFP setting 5/5/18 [R39] to 1/2# per week loss ~ within 10# of UGW, weight loss had stalled 3 months + was feeling hungry more often.
MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145 / no goal dates ~ I get there when I get there
Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14
Annual workplace Health Risk Assessment 5/15/18: Waist the smallest it's been since 2007 according to past HRA records.
My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

R40 EW 153.0 LW 152.5Round 40 (previous round)
05/08: 154.0 Did ok all day, stuck w/ prelogged meals & snacks, and net calories w/i limit... then late evening snacking on walnut halves ~ ack!!! Really liking my new calorie limit, but need to figure out what to do about snack attacks ~ I never used to. Rest day ~ Fitbit 10,194 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 30 floors. Raked part of front yard after work ~ so many whirlybirds ~ that was a good arm workout!
05/09: 154.0 Yes! Stuck pretty much w/ prelogged meals, snacks + one curveball. Net calories green, sodium red (leftover Chinese food), sugar -13 (some fruit, power muffin, but also unplanned small portion of ice cream cake in office for manager's granddaughter's 5th bday ~ don't get me started!), fiber & protein good & 17c water ~ actually felt thirsty! Walked dog before work / 3.4 mi 1:02:23. Fitbit 16,402 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 54 floors ~ evening, packed 3 boxes of Easter decorations & stored in basement ~ yes, I still had Easter decorations out.
05/10: 153.5 I think changing my MFP setting to 1/2# per week, and having more net calories to play with, is agreeing with me. Net calories -15, sodium -721, sugar -19 (mostly fruit, power muffin & yogurt), fiber excellent, protein good & 14c water. Walked dog before work in off + on sprinkles + beat the rain / 3.43 mi 1:01:05 / remembered to stretch. Fitbit 16,489 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 46 floors. Workplace step challenge ~ currently in 31st place / top 30 women get prize at 10-week point... too bad leader board combines men & women, and everyone is listed by code number with no gender identification.
05/11: 154.0 Net calories -85, sodium -517, sugar -13, fiber & protein good & 14c water. Walked dog after work 3.42 mi 59:43. Fitbit 13,538 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 & 41 floors.
05/12: 153.5 Rest day / Fitbit 9,134 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 33 floors. Net calories -156, sodium green (yay), sugar -12, protein good, fiber excellent & 14c water, so not too bad for rest day.

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.

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™).
5/22 = 193.4 (-2.0), BF% = 16.2. BWHOOSH™ (formerly known as BOUNCE BACK™). I felt pretty crappy throughout the day yesterday, but ate really well, and forced myself to go to the gym to lift weights. When I got there, I noticed my energy was up. I went to basketball, where I have not been able to hit the broad side of a barn the last two times I've played. My shot was pretty "on," and my bad knee felt just fine (not even one "pop"). I had a great Caesar salad with chicken and avocado for dinner, and ended up having a pretty great day. I had a bit of a revelation at basketball. I STILL have WAY TOO MUCH gut. So many people are screaming at me telling me how thin I am, but I'm NOT. I get that I look pretty different compared to where I was in January (when I started my MFP/JGMTD journey), and that people freak out/get jealous/whatever, but I don't think I have body image issues. Rather, I truly believe that I still have a ways to go on my journey. I said I would stop at 185. Maybe 180 is the number. 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!
5/23 = 194.6 (+1.2). This is when I know my sugar issues are an actual addiction. I can't have a slip one day and think that I'm okay the next day. I can't pretend that it didn't happen. A slip is a sign, and that should put me in high alert. That's what I would tell my patient. I would also tell them to be kind to to themselves, and to have some compassion, so I'm going to try to remember that, too. I didn't give my Saturday lapse the attention it deserved, and last night was a sign that my underlying issues are still there. I'm stressed, and will be until Tuesday, because of work issues. I binged last night on chocolate. It was bad. On some level I knew what was happening. My wife didn't say a word, not that it's her responsibility to. I have got to depend on myself, and I let myself down a little bit. Time to stop the bleeding today, and to get back to my good Keto habits. I don't want this to turn into a full blown relapse. I've worked too hard.

Day/Weight/Comment
•5/18 - 200.2 -slight uptick in weight this morning. Restless night and my buddy is back, fluid retention. I already need a nap.
•5/19 - 199.8 - That .8 still hanging on
•5/20 - 199.2 - I probably weigh a little bit under this number, but I drank water before stepping on the scale. My husband and I went to his Aunt's surprise 80th birthday celebration yesterday evening. It was after 5 pm when we got there. I eat my first meal at 2 or 3 so I wasn't hungry. Had no desire for cake or the godiva chocolate bars given out as favors. I gave mine to my DIL. I sipped on my lemon water and thoroughly enjoyed seeing and talking with family members that I haven't seen in years.
•5/21 - 199.6 -I can't blame the increase on sodium, because on keto you need sodium. I think I can pin it to electrolyte imbalance, specifically magnesium. I had cramping in my calf muscle down through my foot last night. It woke me up and I had to walk it out. I haven't had my electrolyte water for over a week. I'll be drinking it today though.
•5/22 - 200 - I weighed at 5 am, holding on to a ton of water. I usually weigh at 10am. We had a joyous family occasion to celebrate this past Sunday, but today is a somber occasion. My BIL passed last week and today is his funeral.
•5/23 - 199.6 (8am) - 200.8 (6am) - This is how much fluid I retain. That's 1.2lbs! and still holding fluid, but I couldn't wait until 10am to weigh, I needed to drink some water. 6 TBS of peanut butter later...smh. I was so tired yesterday. Feeling much better after some uninterrupted hours of sleep.

5/20 -130.2 - sadness for my own mess-ups, and resolve. Anxiety and comforting myself with food. Way over yesterday on calories, under on exercise. Rising every time I fall....
5/21 - 128.6 - yesterday under calories, ate only a 200 calorie "treat" protein bar in the sugar dept, 11K steps. One day at a time.
5/22 - 128.0 - yesterday under calories, 13K steps including elliptical at the gym and short runs to and fro.
5/23 - 128.4 - yesterday over calories, 10K steps; a day where I woke at 3:45 and never slept after that. Using sugar to deal with anxiety, but still not my worst day. Back at it.

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.
5/23--217.8 Normal fluctuation. So far I've weighed in below my starting weight every day. Did not get my steps in yesterday, chose not to go for an evening walk instead did some work around the house. Kettlebell tonight and will go out for a walk later tonight to get my steps in.

5/18 – 157.4 I like this drop from the end of Round 40! Here’s hoping I can maintain it or decrease it over the remainder of this round.
5/19 – 157.8 Carb heavy day yesterday and for the next couple of days so I won’t be too worried about the scales for a bit. I’ll just make sure I stay within my calorie range for those days and drink lots of water.
5/20 – 158.2 Expected. So many carbs, so much sodium!
5/21 – 157.6 Cut back on the carbs and sodium yesterday. I also started T25. My legs are a bit sore!
5/22 – 157.6 Holding steady! Today a friend is buying me dinner. I know what I should have, but I also know what I’m going to have and it’ll put me a bit over my calorie range. Bring on the carbs!
5/23 – 157.6 After the day I had yesterday, I’m a little surprised the scale didn’t move up. I’ll take it!

19: 203.9... Wow is the only word I have right now. Charging through to onederland!
20: 203.4...I feel like my morning Matcha is helping this process more than I expected. I started drinking it because it tastes good and looked into the health benefits after. Now I'm bulletproofing it, which is even better. Some days I have to "make" myself eat more before I go into fasting hours because I hadn't been hungry enough to get to 1400 calories. Dark chocolate with coconut oil is my new savior on those days and my new favorite sweet when I otherwise would have eaten something loaded with carbs.
21: 203
22: 203.3... I'm guessing this is just normal fluctuation. No worries here!
23: 202.2... I started using Prime My Body Hemp oil about a week ago for overall health. Due to this rapid loss, I decided yesterday to research if CBD oil promotes weight loss. Sure enough, it does! I guess the combo I'm doing now with Bulletproof Matcha, CBD, IF and HFLC is perfect for me! At this rate, maybe I will hit onederland sooner than I anticipated!

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18 - Friday - 203.6 - So yesterday afternoon we went to the city to pick up parents from airport. Long ride with traffic so I had to be careful not to drink too much water. Its such a fine line between hydration, and too many bathroom breaks. So I dont think I hit my water goals yesterday. But we got back around 8 and all went out to dinner. I made an improved choice; sesame ginger salmon with soba noodle salad rather than pulled pork mac and cheese. 1 pc of bread, a few sweet potato fries (1 oz) and a bite of DH's mac and cheese and I came in riiiiight around calorie goal for the day - a slight bit over on sodium. Todays morning went a little off plan. Didnt pack lunch because of it. Ended up getting vietnamese vermicelli bowl with pork and shrimp and fresh salad. I think I logged it fairly accurately. Again, an improved choice from a steak and cheese or a whole order of pad thai that are my other usual favorites to walk to from work. Tonights dinner is chicken thighs, asparagus, and potatoes grilled and planning on 1/2 pint of halo top for dessert - IIFYM! I'm not stressing about the nitty gritty details right now. I'm making better choices, and I'm learning to enjoy them as much, if not more than my old habits. Last nights salmon didnt leave me feeling bloated and stuffed, just satisfied and full, and thats a nice feeling! Baby steps to make sure that this time around I'm cultivating a new way of eating that will benefit my body, mind and soul - not just a diet to look better in the mirror.
5/19 - Saturday 203.0 - Busy day - Adams trip to pick up more eggs and meat. Grilled some ribs and snacked my way through the day. About 400 over on cals but mostly good food choices.
5/20 - Sunday 204.4 - Another busy day. Picked up herbs and did some gardening. Picked up a meat bread and caramel apple at the bakery next to the hardware store for lunch. Grilled chicken and steak. Made quinoa balls, hard boiled eggs. Went to laundromat in evening and started feeling poorly. Another day above calories because of the caramel apple. But I'm not sweating it - I enjoyed, I logged it, I moved on.
5/21 - Monday 203.6 - Sick. Ate some chicken rice soup, stayed in bed all day.
5/22 - Tuesday 201.0 - Sick - another day in bed. Had my appetite back and ate poor food choices but stayed close to calories (velveeta and chicken nuggets - why do I turn into an 8 year old when I'm sick?) Didnt take my meds the past two days because of being sick. I went to post this yesterday and hit done instead of post and I was too sick and tired to do it all over again. But I definitely do need to be better about checking in on the weekends regardless.
5/23 - Wednesday 202.0 - back to work! Still feeling under the weather but I'm upright! Now, lots of water today to flush this sickness out of me. Packed a good lunch, skipped my breakfast smoothie today but its back to good choices for the rest of the week into the weekend to reach my goal on Sunday. Seeing the 202 today is good but I expect some fluctuations before Sunday.
