I am most definitely in! I seem to start the week off strong but completely drop the ball on the weekends. Something I need to work on this round. My goal is to be at 163.0 or less by 06/06/18
Original SW - 172.0
Round 40 SW - 170.0
Round 41 SW - 165.6
Round 42 SW - 164.9
UGW - 150
Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 164.9 Considering I did not go for a walk, I feel pretty good about the direction my weigh is going.
5/29 164.5 Slow but steady. I am okay with that
5/30 164.0 Just a Meh day
5/31 165.4 Sighs
6/01 165.3 Double sighs
6/02 Did not weigh in, busy busy weekend
6/03 Did not weigh in busy busy weekend
6/04 164.5 I got a 30 day free gym membership from a local gym on Friday. Because I have COPD, I am pretty limited to what I can participate in, but it's a start. I plan to go "walk" the running track for 30 minutes, and then hop on a bike. I will also go for my usual lunch time work. Last week was super rainy out for most lunches, so I am looking forward to a great week of walks. I packed my breakfast, lunch and snacks and will only eat what I planned.

@Snowflake1968 As I say every challenge, it generally takes my body/scale 2-3 days to reflect the food I’ve eaten.
@GrandmaJackie Thank you for the new link!2 -

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!
6/4 - 127.6 - Yesterday a squidge over maintenance and managed no exercise, but logged. Very emo day; again, settling into maintenance it's good to have an emo day with a few extras but log, not continue the extras, feel pretty in- the-saddle with regard to my choices (as opposed to feeling dragged behind the horse)

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!
6/3 135.0
6/4 135.5 I ate something late because I had only had about 300 calories for the day. I need to stop doing that. I wasn’t hungry - that is what Keto does and it’s a signal that I am in ketosis and my body is using my fat stored for fuel. On the bright side, I put the Zumba DVD in and started learning some of the steps. I have 2 left feet!4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 199.9 Happy dance!!! Great way to start off this round.
5/29 199.5 Well…happily the scale did not reflect the snacks I ate yesterday…..something I haven’t really done since the beginning of April. A small kit kat bar, potato chips, and fudge cookies. However, we’ve been helping one of our daughters move the past several days…so I’ve been working my tail off (and hopefully my belly, too….lol). But it’s back to sticking with my calorie goal today.
5/30 199.6
5/31 199.0 This was after I ate a bowl of homemade spaghetti and meat sauce last night. Despite the fact that I’m working hard to lose weight, I also really don’t want to deprive myself of things I like to eat. I had made the spaghetti because I had some of the grandchildren over for dinner, otherwise I probably would have had a salad and some chicken breast or something. So I made the decision to go ahead and eat with them…I just paid attention to how much I served myself. If I’m going to continue to be successful at losing weight, it’s all about portion size.
6/01 199.0
6/02 199.2
6/03 199.3
6/04 199.3 Again. Where’s my whoosh?

@jerier, The day before Memorial day I was under high stress and had eaten less than a third of my calorie allotment. It wasn't until late in the evening that I ate more food, but still under calories. My weight took a dive the next morning.2

5/28 169.8 BMI=25.07 Losing inches off hips/waist!!!! I feel great!! Walking much more...+ more weight resistance. Recomping with gradual ease into maintenance.
5/29 169.4
A new low!
10 day moving average = 169.6
5/30 169.6
10 day moving average= 169.4!!
5/31 169.4 BMI = 25.01 SO CLOSE LOL
10 day moving average= 169.4
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, hilly 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.
6/4 168.8. BMI = 24.92. (0.02 to go!)
10 day moving average: 169.2
I did another long, flat walk yesterday. Really enjoying my walks.
WOW: will hit GW in 0.2 lbs & adj GW in 3lbs!
End of June marks 2-1/2 years on this journey.

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.

Had every intention of eating small portions of whatever lunch and refreshments were served. Not so much. By evening, the introvert in me was exhausted, having handled seminar check-in and networking with 26 people in my professional association all day, even though I loved it. So after I drove 33 miles back to my city & deposited seminar checks at in-store bank, I picked up rotisserie chicken, deli salads and a few groceries on my way home, and proceeded to eat with abandon, including WAY too much sugar. After, felt bloated and blah. 11c water (at least I did that right). Starting fresh today.

I’m in. Was feeling so much slimmer – and then I looked at my weight report for the last year and realized I was 162 one year ago … so since Feb. I’ve lost the weight that I gained the 8 months previous. The reports don’t go back that far but I think that I joined when I was freaking out about hitting 160 in 2015. All of this just reminded me how much we adjust to a new “normal” and to a) realize I’m not slim, better than I was but still much, much to go, so don’t get sloppy in my new habits b) celebrate the little victories but also keep an eye on the long term goal.
3rd Round: Female 65, height – 5’
Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, EW 162.8
Round 40 – on holidays
Round 41 – SW 164.4, EW 162.4
Round 42 - SW: 162.6, GW 161, UGW 128
Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 - 162.6
5/29 – 162.4 Didn’t do all that great yesterday as is usual with an errand day but did go to the gym
5/30 - 163
5/31 - 162.8 Glad it is not worse. Two more high stress days with lots of running around & internal wondering how to get everything done at home before going on another trip.
6/01 – 162.4 Home all day today except for gym. Yay!
6/02 – 162.6 Did go to the gym but did snack a little in the evening, arg. So, inner self, how does snacking in any way help the fact that a deer disfigured the Japanese Maple that I’d just planted this spring and was coming along so nicely? If I can break that link, frustration/worry=snacking, I think I’ll have success.
6/03 – 163.4 Too much fat yesterday. Now I have a headache, feeling generally draggy and retaining water.
6/04 – 162.8 Have to be more diligent charting the calories so I don’t go over in the evening. I don’t think I’m doing too bad but too busy and a little extra can sneak in so easily (and turn out to be more than a little!) Gym today but two evenings out so have to be vigilant and plan ahead.

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!
So I stayed in the 180's in the last round barely. I totally missed the last few days of the last challenge, weighed my self everyday, and truly thought I had recorded it LOL until I looked today. I think this time of year, truly is TOO busy. But, I am back and ready to go!
