5/31--135.... Got on scale rather than looking at my muscle/fat etc. And shocked myself cause 135-140lbs is my biggest-not being careful weight. As in I start feeling thick and stuffed. I thought I was around 130! Goodness me. I'm still surprised about it.
6/01- 134.4
6/02- 132.2 is it possible to lose 2 lbs in one day? I always weigh myself more than once.
Water weight. The body can fluctuate pounds (yes, pounds) throughout the day. I big gain or loss from one day to the next reflects fluid retention or loss. Fat loss is realized over time which is why looking at the overall trend in weight gives a better idea of progress.3 -
I'm putting the Keto experiment on hold because, in a lot of ways, I'm not feeling all that good right now. I'm going to stay at a much lower carb intake, integrating some fruits and vegetables while continuing to focus on eating healthy fats (instead of the crap I used to eat). I'm going to stay away from processed sweets and crappy processed snack foods. Edit: Keto is back on 100%. Thank you "The Magic Pill" for setting me straight.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 = 192.2 (-1.8), BF% = 15.5. I got started a little later than usual today, so this might not be perfectly accurate, but it should be pretty close. Last night wasn't impulsive. I'm definitely taking a break from Keto. I'm trying to decide which carb number I should shoot for. I'm thinking 100, but I'm going to do some reading. I wasn't very consistent last round with tracking my body fat percentage. I'm going to commit to tracking it every day.
5/29 = 194.2 (+2.0), BF% = 15.7. Got a little too "snacky" yesterday. Ate when I wasn't hungry. Allowed myself to eat a couple of things I haven't been able to eat in the past few weeks. Went about 300 calories over maintenance. That being said, as mentioned yesterday, my weight likely wasn't all that accurate when I weighed myself yesterday (weighed myself at the "correct time" today). My goal for today is to remember only to eat when I feel hungry. I tracked everything yesterday, so that was good. I'm feeling okay. This is actually not feeling like a cause for alarm. Rather, it's a signal that I need to be paying attention to how I'm feeling and what I'm eating right now.
5/30 = 193.8 (-0.4), BF% = 15.6. I was much more under control yesterday. Ate with my macros, no crazy binges, stayed away from sweets for the most part (and slightly under calories). I decided to adjust my weekly goal to 1/2 a pound per week (from 1 pound), as I'm getting pretty close to my goal weight.
5/31 = 193.8 (no change), BF% = 15.6. I felt like I ate a little heavy during yesterday, but after tracking everything I think I was slightly below maintenance. I had a fantastic dinner that I normally would have completely scarfed in one sitting. This time, however, I ate half of it, I did it mindfully, and I have half of it today for either lunch or dinner (probably dinner). I have basketball tonight for the first time in a week, and I'm going to go to the gym as well. I feel pretty good that I have been able to maintain since putting Keto on hold, particularly since I haven't worked out for the past week. Full disclosure regarding my decision to put Keto on hold; it actually didn't feel that hard to do. While that's generally a good thing, I tend to get into a groove when something is working well, which makes me less vigilant/questioning. I have some questions regarding the long-term health effects of the Keto lifestyle, and I need to do some reading before I get back into it. Can you remind me of some of your favorite Keto resources @quiltingjaine ?
6/01 = 194.4 (+0.6), BF% = 15.7. I'm not 100% sure why my weight is up a bit, but I'm going shopping today to get my butt back on Keto. "The Magic Pill" was pretty damned inspiring. Played basketball last night and went to the gym, and get pretty good at both. My back signed up a bit, though it feels okay this morning.
6/02 = 195.4 (+1.0), BF% = 15.7. I had a busy day today, so I'm posting late. I thought yesterday went pretty well, even if the scale didn't agree with me. My chiropractor was able to sneak me in for an appointment, which was great, because I needed it badly. I'm a little confused by my weight gain, but I'm going to try to just let it go.
6/03 = 195.0 (-0.4), BF% = 15.8. I felt fantastic at basketball yesterday. My shot was fine, but I really just felt comfortable playing; I could jump, run, and move without pain. It's hard for me to know how much of this is my 30-pound weight loss, and how much of it is related to my general Keto goodness. The truth is, I don't care what it is. Yesterday was a great day. I went to a party in the evening and stuck to hard alcohol plus calorie-free mixers. They had a "taco truck" setup for dinner, and stayed away from everything carb (ate carne asada, chicken, and al pastor meats they had there). Getting a tiny bit frustrated with my weight (lack of progress), but I'll power through this.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28--Out of town--Just checking in on everybody's progress! Got back tonight from our 3-day weekend trip; it was a belated birthday/anniversary celebration. We did some major retail therapy. We ate some really delicious meals and while I didn't log and I know I was over my daily calorie goals, I also made better food decisions than I would have a year ago. That is more important to me than measuring every calorie, because I am trying to change my eating habits for the rest of my life. I'm expecting to see a gain on the scale tomorrow, but I'm going to try to step up my activity level this week.
5/29--178.8 I was expecting this increase. I'm still going to try to get down to 175 this round!
5/30--179.0 Sigh...no excuses. I've been eating over my calorie goal and I haven't been very active. I did a lot of shopping over the weekend and was able to buy smaller sizes, so I need to remember that as motivation--my new clothes aren't going to fit if I keep going this direction! Pilates tonight.
5/31--178.0 Just hanging out in the comfort zone. I've been here for awhile....
6/01--178.0 At this point, I'll be happy if I get through the round right here. I had a meeting right after work last night and didn't have access to food, so I ate the provided food--pizza. I shouldn't be eating pizza in the first place because I am sensitive to dairy and wheat. Anyways, I went way over my calorie goal for yesterday and I feel yucky today. It's not going to get much better these next couple of days. I am on the leadership team for our local Relay for Life, which is tomorrow. I'm super excited for it, but I also know that my access to healthy food is going to be limited. Not to mention, it's going to be an insanely busy day at work today and I have a million things to do after work to get ready for tomorrow. Oy!
6/02--177.8 Happy to see this considering how many calories I've been consuming. I'm going to be running around like a crazy person for the next 16+ hours, so maybe that will translate into something good on the scale!
6/03--177.0 Go away, 177! Yesterday was fun and crazy and exhausting; no logging but I'm fairly certain I burned off any calories I ate yesterday. Now to get back to normal.

10 day moving average= 169.4!!
5/31 169.4 BMI = 25.01 SO CLOSE LOL

My new skinny jeans are loose! Guess I can put them in the dryer now :P
6/1 169.2 BMI = 24.98 WOW!!
10 day moving average = 169.3 YAY!!!
The pants I could not pull up over my knees 2 years 5 months ago (TO MY HORROR) are now a
zipped, snapped, and totally comfortable as of today! HUGE NSV for me since they are from 12-15 years ago and have smaller waist then pants these days.
These last few pounds are *finally* whittling my waist slowly over time.
6/2 169.4 Amazing given 2-hour hike in hills, 14.6K steps, in hot weather... Thought for sure the scale would be up. Hydrated continuously in smaller amounts, so maybe that helped.
Best part: not sore at all!! It’s amazing what our bodies can do. Truly.
10 day moving average = 169.3
10 day moving average loss/week now 0.2 (had been 0.1 for 5 days) so I’m happy.
I’m definitely building muscle. Happy I am eating more & working out more, at slight calorie deficit. It is hard to adjust to smaller bits of weight loss, but I’m feeling much stronger & leaner-ish! LOL
Went on another very hard, hot, Holly hike today. I think I’m becoming addicted — now that it doesn’t hurt to do so.
6/3 169.8
10 day moving average: 169.3
I think my fitness band might over-count calories burned when I do a really hard hike. Am watching to adjust if necessary in a couple of days or a week.

Back on track, eating mostly at home now, and I've been doing lots of garden work - digging out shrubs and other things I don't want and planting perennials. So happy to have a garden again after 9 years of renting!

I'm very happy to see the scale moving the right direction again! We may get thunderstorms this evening, but if they miss us, I'm planning a long walk.

Bouncy bouncy. But other than not as much exercise yesterday, I'm doing everything right, so no worries.
6/1 - 149.4 - 1297 (10-day ave 1499.3)
I had a note written and somehow lost it, so I guess that means I should be more concise. :-) Anyway, happy to be trending downward on both weight and 10-day calorie average (which explains so much more than daily cals!).
6/2 - 149.4 - 1414 (10-day ave 1472.2)
Better and better. Calories and macros good yesterday, cal ave slowly falling to "loser" zone, 45-min walk (cut short by thunder & lightning), lots of other walking around, some gardening. Have a lovely weekend, all!
6/3 - 149.6 - 1820 (10-day ave 1516.3)
I had a bit of a blowout last night - coffee ice cream :-D - but my net calories were only slightly over my goal, so not so bad. I'd been thinking about coffee ice cream for weeks and decided last night was the night. I bought the small container and my husband polished it off after I got my serving, so there's none for tonight!

28: Vacation
29: Vacation
30: We had an 18-hour delay on our flight because of storms in Minneapolis. I ended up spending 9 hours on a plane, only to land back in Denver where we started. Slept at the airport, and finally made in all the way home at 11pm. I did really, really well with intuitive eating until living at the airport and on planes for so long.
31: I didn't weight in. Spent the day in bed until about 1:30pm. Holy jet lag!
June:
1: 203.4... Up 2 pounds since my vacation started. I imagine it's all water weight. There was not sufficient access to water on the 3 flights it took to get home, and I certainly didn't get enough yesterday because of sleeping so much. Back into a normal flow today, so tomorrow's weight should reflect that.
2: 201.4... I'm curious now if I did actually lose weight on my trip. Maybe there's more water weight to come off because of the 24 hours it took to travel home. I'm taking the family to a movie in a few minutes, and I always have popcorn. I'll try to keep it to a reasonable amount though. I'd really like to see onederland this round, so that'll keep me motivated.
3: 200.8...I guess I did okay with the popcorn!

5/28 / 232.4 / Very pleased to start this round with a loss from last round. I'm going to be experimenting this week making my version of bento boxes (pre-portioned items in separate compartments) for breakfast/lunch. So I can just grab one box and know it has a variety of items with a set number of calories. Ideas welcome, if anyone has done this. I like almost everything, but I have Celiac, so gluten is out.
5/29 / 231 / Most excellent! This puts me at 21 total pounds lost since I began in January. This was my goal for this round, but let's see if I can hold onto it!
5/30 / 232.2 / Boo to this bounce, but I know that I ate well and got my body in motion, so it's all good.
5/31 / 232.6 / Bouncing around but eating well.
6/1 / 231.2 / Still eating great.
6/2 / 230.4 / Missed a couple of days of posting, but I had all of you in my thoughts! Hooray for this weigh in, though I'm not feeling great today. I did mini protein muffins last night that weren't too bad, though they need some tweaking. Also pumpkin overnight oats for breakfast this morning that need some tweaking, too. I'm having pizza for dinner, so I expect to be at a higher weight in the morning if only for the salt.

@MadisonMolly2017 I believe for the most accurate count of calories burned you need something with a heart rate monitor and chest strap. Mine is a Polar F11 which is obsolete now, I think. I got it almost 10 years ago to calculate my exercise points on weight watchers. The chest strap picks up your heart rate from your heart rather than an arm or finger.
@SheilaBoneham Thank Roger for taking one for the team with that ice cream! How is Lily?2 -

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
5/28 136.5 WHOO HOO! Almost no carbs yesterday. Tracking again. It makes a difference. Almost 100 posts to read! Home from community picnic. One hamburger, one hotdog, a thin slice each of tomato and onion. I pinched a teeny bite of cookie from DH - 3 raisins and not much else!
5/29 137.5 Too much salt in the evening. This too shall pass.
5/30 137.5 Hurt my foot yesterday. A board fell over on it. Not a big board but it is swollen and bruised. I’m going to water fitness anyway and will see what I can do.
5/31 136.5 The bruise is fading but it still feels as if I’m walking on a cotton ball.
6/1 136.0 We took a road trip yesterday so I stayed off my foot most of the day. Swelling and bruise almost gone. Ate French fries yesterday, we’ll see if that causes a problem in a day or two!
6/2 135.0 WHOO HOO Tracking is paying off!

Round 42 GOAL = Log every day, even if I go over.
5/28 - 129.2 - yesterday gave up on everything. Not my best day
5/29 - 128.8 - yesterday logged food, stayed under maintenance, nice hike in the hills in the heat with hubs 5 miles, 600' climb, 85 degrees - hello summer, suddenly
5/30 - 128.8 - yesterday logged food, stayed under maintenance, took a walk at lunch and at least got 10K steps. Didn't oversnack on writing group Tuesday (yeah that's a thing).
Still feeling some anxiety during the day but I have slept well 5 nights in a row. Knee a little sore from Monday's hills I guess, wearing zero-drop runners to work
5/31 - 128.0 - yesterday logged and right at maintenance, 8K steps but knee is still ditzy.
6/1 - 127.8 - yesterday logged and just under maintenance, 6K steps just doing life, knee still fragile. Today - stay strong and don't eat 'em while I can't burn 'em. My pattern is: lose the weight, get injured exercising, be unable to discipline myself to drop cals from 2000 back to 1500 maintenance, regain the weight......
I AM STILL HERE LOGGING SO I WILL NOT DO THAT AGAIN, because (newsflash) losing the same 15-20 over and over is hard on my body!!! So this is my first big test: some pain I would be an idiot to exercise around. Got to drop the calories. One day at a time!
6/2 - 127.6 - yesterday just a smidgeon over maintenance calories, still babying sore knee, to bed early. Succeeding in logging food every day. Working out some exercises I can do with a sore knee, but unfortunately those don't really burn many calories...
6/3 - 127.2 - Yesterday logged all food, under maintenance calories and got in 30 minutes on an elliptical and some planks and crunches and pushups and stuff. Knee still sore when running but, I am proving to myself that I can work through a setback without regaining, in fact cruising back into the middle of maintenance zone. So yay!

Round 42: My first round
SW: 186.8
RGW: 183.8
UGW: 130
R42 SW 186.6 EW
Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 – 185.8: This is surprising because I indulged in pizza and wings last night. I’m sure those will show up on the scale tomorrow.
5/29 – 185.4: I was so excited to get on the scale this morning! Went for an hour long walk last night, which was a victory for me. I’ve been really depressed for months and haven’t had the energy to do much. Really, really happy that I made the effort. Didn’t eat my exercise calories either. Glad to see a slight downward trend. I’m not the most consistent person in the world, so I’m really hoping that doing small chunks of time will work for me. Made good breakfast choices even though I went grocery shopping on an empty stomach. Good luck everyone for a healthy and active day.
5/30 – 185: Slowly, slowly the scale creeps down and I’m ok with that. Before this challenge, this slow drop would have driven me crazy. I’m still struggling with night eating. Trouble for me starts at about 4 p.m. when I start craving sweet things. I believe this is related to my Diet Pepsi addiction. I want to quit diet soda so badly, but I find it very hard. One step at a time. Wishing everyone a day of healthy choices!!!
5/31 – 184.2: Approached the scale with some trepidation this morning. I made the very mature decision to have cookies, candy and diet pop for lunch yesterday. Brilliant!! My eating age is 5!!! The only saving grace is that I measured the portions of each and managed to stay under calories. Another one-hour walk in the evening. It was so lovely – just around sunset. Love watching the world winding down for the evening.
6/01 – 184.0: I am grateful for the miniscule drop on the scale. With better planning I believe I would see better results. I am thinking about doing a “Booster Weekend” this weekend. (I made that up!!) What that will mean for me is raising me exercise time from one to two hours (one in the a.m. and one in the p.m.) and REALLY focusing on clean choices and staying well within calories. Anyone in for this mini challenge within a challenge?
6/02 – 183.4: Yay!!! Really grateful for this downward trend. Since yesterday was Friday, my usual start of weekend junk binging, I indulged in a few bad choices. The only difference is that I measured out a portion size and stuck to it. If the portion calories were high, I had half a portion. Still over calories for the day, and no walk, so I am very thankful (and surprised) to see the drop. Long may it continue!!!
6/03 – 183.6: An uptick. Expected because I ate dinner super late last night. I mean midnight late – that’s what happens when my husband cooks. Even though it’s expected, it’s still disappointing because I ate below calories and had almost 600 exercise calories. Ah well, onward …
