Ultimate Goal: 175 lbs, reevaluate at that point
May:
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!
4: 200.9... Normal fluctuation. I'm still hoping to see onederland this round!

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.

R42 SW 173.6 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
5/28 --173.6 lbs
5/29 -- 173.6 lbs
5/30 -- 172.6 lbs
5/31 – 172.8 lbs
6/01 – 173 lbs
6/02 – 172.4 lbs
6/03 – 172 lbs
6/04 – 170.4 lbs – Almost under 170 lbs! My goal is to get to 165 lbs and then take a break from being in a caloric deficit and do a “maintenance period” for about a month. However, I am traveling internationally for 2 weeks this month, so if I don't reach 165 by the time I leave I may just go into maintenance at whatever weight I am at for the vacation. I have lost ~11 lbs since February but am very guilty of fluctuating between winter and summer. Like a lot of people, I typically lose weight easily in the summer and then put it all back on come wintertime, and sometimes put even more on! I am hoping that if I take a month off in the summer I will be more likely to succeed and stick to it come fall/winter. Then maybe I will aim for another maintenance period once I reach another milestone. If I can reach 160 lbs by November, I think having the goal of maintaining 160 lbs through December is much more realistic than trying to continuously lose weight throughout the holidays!

@jilliancreates, There are quite a few of us battling through the end of the 200's and continuing to bounce around the 190's. Makes me wonder why our bodies just want to hold on to these weights. You are so close to onederland! Everyone hovering at 201/200, good luck! It would be wonderful to begin a new round in the 190's!7

tiabirdie56......yep, I'm one of those bouncing around the 199's. Last round I bounced around 201 for quite a few days. Now it's the 199's. I'm doing everything right, but this past 1/2 month that scale isn't rewarding me much. I have faith it will....eventually.9 -

6/01 162.4 lbs puzzled why it happened even though I was under calories.
6/02 163.2 lbs. Might be high sodium food yesterday and surplus 200 calories. I ran after a long time but as obvious you can't outrun a surplus diet.
6/03 162 lbs whoosh effect?
6/04 163 lbs no wonder! Had a family birthday party ate some cake,icecream and chicken, over by 250 calories and sodium bit high. Just want 1 lbs down this round, so today kept calories under and walked 14000 steps for damage control.

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.

Goals for this round: maintain current weight (do not go over 195) as I take as break from from Keto. Track my BF% consistently.
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.
6/04 = 194.0 (-1.0), BF% = 15.7. WHOOSH! Finally! I ate well and within macros, but I've been doing that for a while. I'll take it! Basketball and gym tonight!

@MomToMurphy, Yes, it's about 10 or 12 of us. I noticed that a couple of rounds ago, so I keep watch We all seem to be doing the same thing. In my case, I know that I was in the low 200's for a while before an injury made my weight skyrocket. I wonder if that could be the reason for my weight bouncing around at that point.2

R41: AW 217.83 (-1.35)
Goal for this round is same as last round which is to reach 10K steps for 7/10 days. STEPS:5/10
R42: SW: 217.1
Day/Weight/Comment
5/28--217.5 Not surprised by uptick in weight, will probably see another uptick tomorrow. I went for Afternoon Tea yesterday and I have no idea how many calories I ate, but I definitely enjoyed myself. Going out with the dog for a hike this morning.
5/29--218.0 Water retention. So sore from the hike yesterday. I got my steps in yesterday. Goal for today is to get my water in.
5/30--217.8 Most of the soreness is gone.
5/31--217.1 There goes the rest of the water retention. Got my steps in yesterday.
6/01--216.9 Got steps in yesterday. I have the day off today so I need to make sure to get water in.
6/02--217.1 Dehydrated. Was running around yesterday and forgot to drink water. Got my steps in yesterday.
6/03--217.8 Went out to my coworker's retirement party last night. I probably ate at maintenance, but didn't drink enough water so the uptick in weight was expected. I started back with running yesterday and got my steps in. Kettlebell today. Going out for brunch today, so there will probably be a temporary uptick in my weight tomorrow as well. I took my monthly measurements yesterday and recorded a loss of inches. Goal for today is to get my water in.
6/04--218.2 Between soreness from Kettlebell, lack of water yesterday, and increased salt from brunch I totally expected a bump in the scale. Today is walking and water.

Yep! I think 180/185 is going to be my goal weight (we'll see!), so a slowdown is expected, I guess. Still frustrating.4 -
@tiabirdie56 and @MomToMurphy ...
It really would be great to start the next round in the 190s! If not, it'll definitely be during R43. Totally got this!7 -

@puddlegoober, Yes, it can be frustrating, but you can make it to your goal weight. Don't compromise! I have done that before, get close to goal and say, ahh, close enough. 180/185 is a good weight for your height. One of my sons is your height. He said he'd be happy at 200lbs. I'd be happy if he were 200lbs also, but I hope once he gets there he takes it further.
Good luck! I hope you break through 190 before this round ends, if not, early next round.

@tiabirdie56 Ah, I misunderstood when I first read your post. I thought you meant under eating was responsible for lack of loss.
@clarestorm1886 According to popular water consumption guidelines, I'm always dehydrated. I rarely drink more than 30 oz on a daily basis. I only drink when I'm thirsty. I'm trying to consistently follow the same guidelines for food. Some days I nail it, some days I don't.1 -

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 …
6/04 – 183.2: Headed back down, thank heavens. I’m hoping it stays that way for these last few days. I really want to finish strong.

@puddlegoober, Yes, it can be frustrating, but you can make it to your goal weight. Don't compromise! I have done that before, get close to goal and say, ahh, close enough. 180/185 is a good weight for your height. One of my sons is your height. He said he'd be happy at 200lbs. I'd be happy if he were 200lbs also, but I hope once he gets there he takes it further.
Good luck! I hope you break through 190 before this round ends, if not, early next round.
@tiabirdie56 I really appreciate your encouragement. I'm not giving up at all! It might be a couple more rounds before I get below 190, but it's coming :-)5 -
@tiabirdie56 Ah, I misunderstood when I first read your post. I thought you meant under eating was responsible for lack of loss.
@jerier, I have posted that I gain weight when I don't eat enough, which is absolutely true. If I under eat on a daily basis, my body just holds on to everything. This time though I dumped over a pound overnight from not eating enough. It wasn't water weight. I wasn't happy about that either. I want to eat every allotted calorie. I will only leave calories behind if I've met my macros. Ideally, I strive to do both. I know that it may not make sense to others, but it's what works in my favor. Every week or so I have a day of higher calorie intake and sometimes it forces my body to drop weight. I just do what I should and my body takes care of the rest.
