1988 high school graduation 185-190lbs
weight on 1/29/18 = 234.5
round 33 - start=215lbs end 202lbs
round 34 - start = 202 end 192.8lbs stomach empty and bone dry
round 35 - start = 192 end 196lbs
round 36 – 195lbs no change.
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
5/23 - I am back from vacation and have some work to do. First time on the scale in a week. 195lbs this morning.
5/24 – 193lbs – ate good, drank plenty, initial drop could just be less food in the belly!
5/25 – 192lbs – strange that I feel skinnier then the day I weighed in at 185. I need to look at all the info my scale gives me. Its possible I gained some muscle mass back during maintenance. ill probably gain 10 pounds for using the word skinnier in reference to myself.
5/26 190lbs – pigged out for lunch and skipped dinner. Probably just an empty stomach.
5/27 – no scale – ate light and drank a lot.

5/18 179.6/ I'm pleasantly surprised to see a loss, I'm hoping to keep that up throughout this week.
5/19 178.2/ I’m surprised to have a loss since I went out last night and had salty food.
5/20 178.8/ All of the salt is catching up with me, I will be eating at home all day today which will hopefully help!

5/25 181.0/ Not unexpected, I ate way too much while travelling and was not good at sticking to my goals.
5/26 178.2/ After an on point day this is a nice surprise!
5/27 178.0/ I’m so happy to have a loss after adjusting. I tried my best to eat better while travelling, but it was hard not being able to cook my own meals or know what calories were in foods.

5/18: 187, well, stopped the climb. Time to start the slow descent again.
5/19 187, stayed in calorie and step goals. New beginning.
5/20 185.6, Amazing how much a good diet helps
5/21 187.2
5/22 187.2
5/23 186.1, If I keep behaving, goal is in sight.
5/24 184.1, Some snacking but lots of movement
5/25 181.7, drank a ton of water, hiked, biked, worked out, and golfed. Apparently my body likes it.
5/26 181.7, got in steps but was so sore that didn’t move much otherwise. Also ate popcorn! If I don’t behave today I know I’ll have a gain tomorrow.
5/27 181.2. Surprised I had a loss ate a huge steak, drank red wine and popcorn and didn’t weigh food since it’s a holiday. I did a ton of gardening, swimming, and walking though so movement pulled me though. Took a whole 10 days to recover from my bingeorama so hopefully I won’t do that again.4 -

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 can't wait until 10am to weigh, I need to drink some water now. 6 TBS of peanut butter later...smh. I was so tired yesterday. Feeling much better after some uninterrupted hours of sleep.
•5/24 - 199.2 - I didn't even think to weigh myself before having coffee. This morning was just off routine.
•5/25 - 199.6 - Mmm, seems my body likes 199.6 and 199.2 this round. BTW, This is the first time that MFP'S 5 week weight projection (199.5) has been almost dead on accurate. Usually I'm ahead of it. I got in the habit of keeping track of it to see how I measure up.
•5/26 - 197.6 - It's all good.
•5/27 - 198.2 - Could be lower than this, but I need to drink water NOW! And COFFEE!! (-.8 for the round)

Starting weight: 158.2
Goal #1: 150
Ultimate Goal: 135
Round 40: 158.2 (SW), 158 (EW)
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!
5/24 – 157.4 Even a small loss is welcome.
5/25 – 157.2 The weather has been nice here the last couple of days so I’m going to risk a hike at the local park. Here’s hoping I don’t end up covered in mud.
5/26 – 157 Going to a cookout this afternoon. Gotta make sure I keep those portions under control!
5/27 – 159.2 Yikes! Definitely not how I wanted to end this round. I thought I did pretty well with controlling myself at the cookout, but maybe not. I also started a new workout, which I’m paying for this morning as everything is sore! Oh well. I’m looking forward to the next round.

5/18: 170.2; Went over my calorie goal with high carb foods but did try to make smart choices throughout the day and drank lots of water. Glad I didn’t gain.
5/19 169.4; drank lots of water yesterday but went over my calories with high carb food and beer (yay Friday) I had a little more self control than last weekend though!
5/20 170.6; I went to Zumba yesterday morning! I also ate a bag sandwich for lunch and chipotle with chips for dinner and didn’t even get 64oz of water in. I need to do better on the weekends food wise.
5/21 170.8; stayed under my calorie limit but didn’t drink all my water. I think I gain the water weight 2 days after poor eating choices. My new weekend goal is to just maintain. Which means less junk on Friday and Saturday nights.
5/22 168.8; stayed close to my calorie goal yesterday, and was VERY hydrated. If you stick to the plan the water weight will come off... eventually! Lol goal for the rest of the week is to have some self control and stay around the 168s.
5/23 169.6; stayed in my calorie limit, drank lots of water, and did T25 yesterday. I did eat pizza and chips for lunch and it’s probably water weight from the sugar and carbs from 2 days ago.
5/24 168.8; did pretty well with my eating and water yesterday, yay me! NSV: we have had lemon pound cake in the house all week and I’ve only had 1/2 of a slice so far!
5/25 170.0; idk how this happened. Was under my calories and met my water goal yesterday. Oh well!
5/26 169.9; ate horrible yesterday, need to stay hydrated today so numbers aren’t as bad tomorrow!
5/27 170.2; ended where I started this challenge. It’s all good, I know I need to be more disciplined over the weekend. Better luck next round!6 -

5/20
5//21 start: +1 lbs. Will start being mindful of what I'm eating, log each day, drink 60 oz water, walk at least 8K steps.
5/22: logging for 2 days. Every bite. Staying within my goal for calories. Did ok with water today, didn't walk much (5.5K steps). Pouring outside so had to get what I could inside.
5/23: down 3.3 lbs since Monday am. Logging every bite, staying within my calorie goal. It's 5 pm and I only have 3.5K steps. Need to go for a walk. Not doing well with water either. Will see what I can pull off before the end if the day! Update: went for a walk and got in a good any of water. Unfortunately drinking tons of water: later in the day =up all night. Nonetheless, I met my goals! Yay!
5/24: down 4.2 lbs now. Got my steps, logged every bite. Water is good too. Wanted something sweet so got Halotop. Meh. Prob too much fake sugar today.
5/25 no tracking, ate pretty well though, until evening when we went out to a BBQ. Bubba burger, hummus, vodka.
5/26 no tracking. BBQ. Ate really well, avoided all party food for hours. Drank tons of water. Almost 8K steps. Was very hungry due to eating nothing but veggies all day trying to avoid party food. Ended up eating some shrimp, tortellini, chips, crackers, peanut butter. Ate a grilled chicken sandwich at 11pm, which probably contributed to weight gain
5/27 225.1. Showing the effects of eating whatever and not tracking. Pulled out summer clothes, definitely too tight . Ugh. Ended the challenge 1 lb less than where I started. I guess not bad but wanted to see a 5 lb loss.4 -

5/18 - 190.04 - Had pizza last night that I couldn't find nutritional information on. I guesstimated based on another companies. I didn't care for it, so only ate 1.5 slices. Dollar Days for drinks is back at McDonald's and I love a fountain coke with ice. I behaved and only got a small though.
5/19 - 191 - didn’t eat very well yesterday, but it’s not a regular occurrence
5/20 - 191.4 - very busy day yesterday and ate very well. Must still be water retention from all the salt Friday
5/21 - 191.8 - very active day again yesterday, didn't eat the best though, had two servings of potatoes for supper
5/22 - 191.6 - Another active day yesterday, glad to be back to work today to get my routines back in place.
5/23 - 191.4 - Going in the right direction but still retaining a lot of water, my rings are all tight. I'll drink lots of water today and stay away from salt.
5/24 - 191.8 - Didn't stay away from salt, had potato chips with a homemade burger for supper. I have got to stop that.
5/25 - 190.8 - Surprised at this because I still didn't eat the best yesterday.

5/19 197.6 I am happy with that. yesterday was a one pound drop, not bouncing back up is a good result.
5/20 196.8 What a nice surprise!
5/21196.6 Had a great day yesterday. Church, then a textile art exhibition and went for a lovely long walk in the sunshine with my son, and planned meals!
5/22 197 Can I blame the bounce on getting up 3 hours earlier today than yesterday?
5/23 195.6 Happy Dance - goal for the rest of this round - is to stay put and not bounce up
5/24 195.4 more snacks than meals but still within the calorie goal.
5/25 194.4 very busy day yesterday

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.
5/24--218.0 So sore this morning after tough kettlebell workout last night. Definitely retaining some water. Yesterday after I came home from kettlebell I had some dinner and then took dog out for a walk to get my 10K steps. Making sure that today I get my water in.
5/25--218.0 My knee was feeling a little off yesterday, so I didn't go for a walk last night to get my steps in. It still feels a little sore today, so not sure if I will be go to kettlebell tonight, but I will get my steps in today.
5/26--218.2 I've eaten about 2-3 hundred more calories than usual the last two days, still below my maintenance calories, and I see how the extra food is causing increased water weight. Trend is still downwards and so far my average weight for this round is hanging on in the 217's. Got my 10k steps in yesterday. Going for a short hike this morning, so I will be able to get my steps in early today. Going for a swim and then running errands and doing some work around the house. As it's the weekend I have to make a conscious effort to get my water in. Depending on how the weather is today there will also be some BBQing and hanging out with the dog outside.
5/27--217.1 Stepped on the scale twice to make sure. I was short 356 steps yesterday Yesterday I got most of my steps in earlier in the day and assumed that based on my planned regular activities I would reach my step goal, but then I ended up having a lazy afternoon and evening and went to bed early and I forgot to check my watch before going to bed to make sure I got my steps in. Well, I still have today to reach my 10k step goal for this round, so I will update later today once I've reached my goal. I will make it.

5/18 138.5 Well not surprised. Yesterday was our 48th wedding anniversary and my 10 month Ketoversary. Down 30# We attended a dinner party last night and there was sugar in everything - at least that was the way it felt/tasted. My ketones are low (0.5) but still present.
5/19 138.5 Lovely grilled dinner at Red Lobster. Ate my little lobster tail, a few shrimp, and two bites of salmon. Also salad with blue cheese dressing and 3/4 of a cheddar biscuit. Those biscuits no longer taste good to me. Strawberries and whipped cream for dessert when we got home. Breakfast with lady friends at 8 AM today. Have I mentioned lately that I am not a breakfast person? I ate about 1/4 of my omelet which was relatively tasteless in spite of Monterrey Jack cheese and lots of green chilies.
5/20 139.0 WTH??? I suspect there were hidden carbs in that omelet causing me to retain water because I really didn’t overeat. Also was way below on water. UGH!
5/21 138.0 When I pointed out to DH this morning that I had brought home breakfast potatoes on Saturday he said “we don’t eat those anymore.” Whoo hoo, he is coming to a more Keto WOE!
5/22 138.0 My stomach is upset. Blech!!!
5/23 137.5 Brought DH to urgent care. Breathing treatment and steroids.
5/24 138.5 Salt? I had left over Keto chili at about 11 and 1/2 of a Greek Salad with gyro meat for dinner. Maybe it was the 1/4 of a pita bread. Moving on!
5/25 138.5 DH still sick. I hate trying to guess what will sound good to him for dinner!
5/26 138.5 Well, it took me 4 months to work down through the 140’s so to get to 135... Discovered I had saved a screen from “Ideal weight” calculators in January. Ranges from 97.9 - 132.3. That’s a lot of variation all below my original goal!
5/27 138.0 Up this round but considering I have not been faithful to my tracking, I can’t complain. (Hit and miss with class reunion followed by cruise.) No more Lazy Keto for me, if I want to hit any part of that range!
On to Round 42!!!5 -
Round 41 SW 138#
SW 148# in December 2016
Lowest weight 133# in November 2017
Goal weight 132#
Day/Weight/Comment
5/18 traveling, no scale. Being mindful and logging
5/19 140# different scale for 2.5 weeks. Nothing I can do, so I am ok with that, as this is my starting point here. Stay on point!
5/20 138.1# Logging regularly (even using the scanning bar, makes life much easier). And now off to run. Happy Sunday all!
5/21 138.7# Hopefully I will see a downward trend this round. I am trying...
5/22 138.9# Nope, wrong direction
5/23 138.4# Better than I expected. I felt like I ate too much (and logged it all), but did a whole lot of exercise/steps
5/24 139.3# UGH! It's got to get better. My 5 mile run is done...that's a good start
5/25 137.7# Not sure how that happened. But I'll take it!
5/26 138.7# follow the bouncing ball. Hopefully it’ll settle lower tomorrow
5/27 139.2# not really what I wanted to see. But I’m going to look at it on a positive note, since it’s less than when I arrived to NC (& a different scale). Onto round 42. Happy Sunday all❤️7 -
Round 2 for me. Last round I was away helping daughter pack and clean house. Despite the work, I obviously ate too much of her good, organic food (and Swiss chocolate)

SW 164.4
GW under 163
final GW 130
Day/Weight/Comment – about the day before
5/18 164.4 - Hoping this is just a blip up and not what I gained the last week and a half.
5/19 163 - This was a happy surprise – Hope I can keep going. I was fairly consistently around this before my trip but was afraid I’d put some lb. back on. Guess we’ll see tomorrow. Went to the gym yesterday for the first time since I got back and ate somewhat on target. Still dead tired from all the travel.
5/20 163.3
5/21 162.8 – So nice to see this number again after the bump up on my trip. Gardening the last couple of days – clearing out weeds isn’t all that much exercise but way less snack inducing than inside the house.
5/22 162.4 - gym closed for Victoria day yesterday but lots of outside work.
5/23 162.4 -
5/24 162 – crazy day yesterday with no exercise really, didn’t even get to yard work. Maybe this is payoff from the previous days. Hoping to spend today mostly outside and get the garden planted. still plugging along at weedy perennial beds and moving stuff around too.
5/25 – 162.8 Would so like to be under 162, have to keep at it. Motivation to get to the gym today even though I have lots to do.
5/26 162.6 Good day, went to the gym in am. Digging garden bed and planting flowers in pm
5/27 162.4 Well, not bad if you look at my first number although that was a blip up, I think. Hoping to see the 161’s next round!6 -
SW 169, this round 162.4

I love these challenges, even though I am only comfortable losing weight at a snail's pace, at least it's going in the right direction! Posting here keeps me accountable.

5/18 171
5/19 170.6
5/20 170.4 Totally building muscle and feeling leaner; however, & I STILL have to keep reminding myself that my goal is now losing 2 lbs a month instead of 4. I find myself worrying that I won’t, but I think - with time - I will fret less. The trending app helps. My 10-day moving average is down 2.1 lbs in 20 days. Last month, I was down 5.3 lbs in 30 days. Slowly, I will adjust. Quite the mind shift.
5/21 170.0 I’m glad I purposely have slowed down my weight loss. It’s funny that it feels as though I’m gaining - when I’m not. I can see this will take some time, but I’m hopeful.
5/22 170.0 I think maybe I’m getting the hang of this trend line is now 2.2 lbs in 22 days - very helpful. Great workout yesterday! Losing inches (glad I took measurements in January & March) with definitely leaner look through waist (in the morning before my large breakfast LOL) & arms & shoulders feel much stronger. All part of this journey.
5/23 170.8 All is good - muscles hanging on to water... with my increased intensity of exercise. Along with 4 new temporary meds for a month.
My weight is Still down > than 2 lbs in the last 30 days, which is my goal, easing into maintenance.
I wasn’t hungry last night, but ate my dinner because my brain can play tricks on me sometimes and lets me get TOO hungry if I don’t eat. Intuitive eating sounds SO tempting, but in my heart, I know the routine of meals will insure my success longterm. (Talking to myself here)
5/24 171.2 I’m centered again. Won’t let myself get over busy and stressed like the last two days again! I LEARNED a lot. Grateful for all of you. Ever onwards!!!
5/25 170.2 Was not easy but I did it! I moved all day yesterday - even jogged a little & didn’t sit in waiting rooms - just kept moving - with lots of hydration & tho it was hard, I made great food choices and was under calories. I was awake most of the night, wanting to eat (due to new temporary course of meds that cause hunger & insomnia), but I didn’t. Proud & a little relieved - dosage halves today! Hoping for continued progress today.
Challenges make us stronger, right? Have a wonderful day!
5/26 169.6 BMI=25.04 Wow! So close!
This has been THE week that I have learned the MOST on my 29 month weight loss journey. Bar none! Probably also the scariest/hardest. I was feeling so great & thin, but all the things I had been doing were slipping & I was “bloated” for no reason I could fathom.
The sudden WHAM! POW! to my body last Saturday of 4 meds combined with a few very/busy stressful days really impacted me more than I realized. In hindsight, I needed to think of myself as healing/“sick” & rest more, but I had been feeling so great that I powered through.
What I learned & want to remember:
1. Sometimes we need to take it easy.
2. Sometimes we need to keep moving as we are taking it easy.
3. Sometimes our bodies need more fuel.
4. More food results in more food in digestive track, more water, etc. expect an uptick on scale
5. Have emergency shopping lists ready for those times you are sick/too busy/down to create one. I procrastinated shopping for *days* because of fatigue.
6. Prep veggies in moments of more energy. Fiber helps!!! Veggies help with medicine-induced munchies.
7. Remember hot tea (was too tired to do it- really should have forced myself to fill the thermos) for satiety and warmth.
8. Reach out to friends/support group. Fellow patients were incredibly helpful/insightful/encouraging!
9. Realize that some drugs DO effect mental moods. This too will pass. It is not you- it’s these life-saving medications. Keep perspective.
10. Remember that you got great news but you turned it into stress & bad news & worries wayyy tooo much. It took 6 days and a tapered dose for you to realize You Got Great News!!! Maybe journal next time. Give it time.
11. A giant serving of broccoli with some steak did you a world of good with a brisk walk at 8:30 PM. Exercise (and water) ameliorates ALL of your side effects of the meds. Remember this!!
5/27 169.4 11,600 steps yesterday!
I never write as much as I did this Round, but what a 10 days! Thank you for your support, likes, hugs. I continue to be very grateful for all of you and this Challenge. On to Round 42!!
Note to self: FOCUS on Building Muscle!!)
Apple Watch Energy - 1900 > 0 daily
Daily walks - easy does it!
Give resistance & weight training 3X/week your all.
Remember: Your new “Skinny” pants are now loose, arms look much better, legs/butt more toned/better shape, and your waist is better defined with abs right below the skin! Who knew?!?!!! Celebrate! These are your rewards now - not the scale. Give yourself time to adjust to this New Reality.
I did celebrate - bought a gorgeous dress, hip jacket, & cute sweater for some events coming up. My first new clothes - except for 3 prs of jeans - in over a year & my first “thin” clothes!! I’m only getting a small, new wardrobe of items that fit close & that I LOVE! Fun, and a little intimidating, to decide on style/look now that I have more options. But it’s a nice problem to have once I reminded myself that I could take my time!

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.
5/24 / 233.8 / This was an early weigh in, too! Woot! Eating well, lots of fluids, some moving around. I'm having a good week.
5/25 / 232.8 / I am pleased as punch. Very pleased punch.
5/26 / 233 / A little up from yesterday, despite weighing in an hour later. I had a cookie, and it was good, so I'm okay with this. I don't get to have cookies very often.
5/27 / 233 / Three pounds down for the round. I missed the goal of 232, but my goals are fairly random anyway!6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
5/18 - 161.6 - Over my steps goal, over my water goal but then ate perogies for a late dinner. Cooked them different so not covered in butter and was still within calories so I hope to not see an increase the next couple days. A good start to this round and hoping to finally see the 150s.
5/19 - 161.2 - Moving in the right direction. Busy evening yesterday mulching but finally that was the last that needed done. Had a very late dinner of a delicious burger and had a couple mixed drinks so I won't be surprised to see an increase in the next couple days. Also I wrote up my post yesterday but never actually posted it but I'm definitely in for this round.
5/20 - 162.2 - Ok with this as I know exactly why I'm up. Had a great weekend but it's time to get back on track.
5/21- 160.6 - Hoping to hop off this roller coaster and settle back down into a more steadier rythm but happy with today's number. Going to try my best to keep it around and then continue to bring it down.
5/22 - 158.8 - Doing the happy dance this morning! Whoo! Please, please, please stick around now.
5/23 - 157.8 - Can it be real? Continuing my happy dance. My food, water and exercise has been on point this round and it's showing. If this continues I'll be at my mini goal of 155 before June 15th (my goal date, also our 5 year anniversary) and it'll be the best anniversary gift I could have given myself. So excited.
5/24 - 159.0 - Late dinner with high sodium, not good. Eye lids a little swollen so I know I'm holding onto water. After eating dinner, I asked my husband, "why do we eat this?" His response was "because it's quick and easy." And while we need quick and easy dinners every now and again because our evenings can get crazy busy, I'll be scratching this item off our future grocery lists and plan for better quick and easy dinners that don't make me feel like crap the next day. Water will be my best friend today.
5/25 - 159.6 - No exercise yesterday, a slice of pizza and a second helping of noodles, I deserve this number. Will get back on track today though and make this weekend my friend instead of my enemy. I might not end at my goal but I'll be pleased with anything under 160.
5/26 - 157.0 - Don't believe this number for a second even though the scale wouldn't change no matter how many times I stepped on it. Expect to see a higher number tomorrow, last night was a bad night. Feeling dehydrated this morning and I'm starving which is never a good thing, usually means I'll be hungry all day long.
5/27 - 158.4 - This round was kind of weird for me but I still meet my goal so I'm very happy. Hoping next round isn't so crazy.5 -

Round 41 GOAL = Stay under Maintenance calories on average for the 10 days and run three times.
5/18 - 128.2 - Taking this new challenge seriously. Log food every day, I have been falling down on that.
5/19 - 128.6 - logged food and under maintenance, 10K steps. By logging, I got to see that the ratio of snacks to real food was SHOCKING. So, good information!! Admittedly, temptations showed up, but.
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.
5/24 - 129.8 - yesterday within calories, 14K steps including a 50 minute run.
5/25 - 129.2 - yesterday over again, just having a lot of emo=eat issues right now. 10K steps and a really poor night of sleep last night. Such is life; one day at a time.
5/26 - 128.0 - yesterday over cals, under steps, but I got sleep and now I have a long weekend to find my wheels again.
5/27 - 128.4 - yesterday at maintenance cals, 10K steps, an okay day.

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.
5/24 201.5
5/25 201.1 lol…..seems my body really likes 201.every number! Again…no worries. I’ve been eating within my calorie goal. The Whoosh is a coming!
5/26 200.7 Well….not a big whoosh…but it is a number below 201, lol, and it is 4 hours before I normally weigh in the AM so maybe, just maybe, I would have dropped a tiny bit more on the scale if I could weigh myself in 4 hours. But since I can’t…I’ll take it! And....I’m now down 20 pounds since I started here on mfp on April 4th. Happy dance!!! Have a good day, everyone!
5/27 200.3 Ahhh…the scale gods just couldn’t give me a 199.9 today, could they? Lol No worries, next round! See you there!

Hi all. Just popping in to say things have been nuts since we moved into our house and I never seem to be online long enough to check in. I gave myself until June 1 to do house/settling stuff, and carried it over to this challenge. But Friday I get back to writing (my work) to finish a book and back to working toward my weight/fitness goals. I just wanted to say I do read your posts sporadically, and that has kept me mindful and inspired. So thanks! See you in the next round!8

Hello all! I love the concept of this group. I missed round 41, but plan to join for 42. I'll search the forums for it tomorrow! I am also starting keto tomorrow. I've let way too much sugar and processed food sneak back into my diet.
