•6/8 - 196.2 - My actual weight and this water retention is so funny to me. I guess I will see 195.6 again or less by the end of the 10 days. That seems to be the trend.

Definitely in again. This helps so much with keeping attentive to both long and short term goals, seeing what is actually working and what’s sabotaging my efforts.
4th Round for me: 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

Ultimate Goal Weight – 128
Day/Weight/Comment
6/07, Thursday – 161.6 Yay! Finally made it to the 161’s although I realize to get to my goal for this round will take consistency every day.
6/08, Friday – 162 Potluck tonight so will have to resolve to be careful especially after I get home and not fall into the “I have no clue how to chart what I ate so let’s just take a night off mode.”

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

Ecstatic with my 5/15/18 annual workplace Health Risk Assessment: waist smallest since 2007 and BMI 25.6

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.

Walked dog 3.36 mi 1:02:14 before church (hot & humid again ~ 3rd day record high temp). Fitbit 13,075 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 & 29 floors. (Sunday)

Just looked up my annual workplace Health Risk Assessment results, and so excited! Changes from 6/2/17 to 5/15/18:

BMI: 30.7 to 25.6
waist at belly button: 33 to 30.5
LDL: 150 to 109
HDL: 68 to 84
cholesterol ratio: 3.5 to 2.5
glucose: 102 to 86

My blood pressure remains in the good range. All excellent reminders that the scale is only one number related to health.

05/29: 156.0 Expected... early supper at Chinese buffet (hubby's choice) + I guesstimated best I could + late snacking (not logged) = net calories RED, sodium VERY RED, sugar red, fiber & protein excellent & 15c water.

, shopping, pedicures and, of course, eating! Fabulous lunch, everyone else had paninis but I had fusilli with shrimp, artichoke hearts, white wine & sun-dried tomatoes ~ so good! We always have an afternoon break for dessert & this year we had pie break. I indulged in caramel apple pie ~ yum! Before leaving home for day, I walked dog 3.07 mi 53:19 and ate mango overnights oats (yum & filling) for breakfast. Fitbit 14,217 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 20 floors.

Moved 3,196# (I did the math) of retaining wall blocks (17# each), with hubby of course, from pallet in driveway, around garage, through back gate, across backyard, up berm and placed along 85' back fence. I started by carrying one in each hand (indents in blocks) but when pallet was > 1/2 empty I couldn't do two anymore, and only carried one at a time. Took us 3 hours total & I weeded berm as we went. My workouts are paying off ~ my arms weren't too sore, just my hand grip and lower back from lots of bending ~ took Aleve after and felt fine next day. Fitbit 20,258 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 & 65 floors. Net calories green (yay), sodium VERY RED, sugar, fiber & protein good, 14c water.

Net calories -147, sodium -370, sugar -25 (fruits & veggies, Oregon herb bread, rhubarb crisp), fiber & protein excellent & 14c water. Good ending to this round except for clock issues.

@puddlegoober I’m so happy you found Keto. I love you like a son - you would fit right in, my girls are 45 and 47 and both doing Keto. Even my DH is coming around.

@quiltingjaine You're making me blush. It's so nice to know that positive feelings are reciprocated... without even having to ask! I love you right back!

@puddlegoober When I first joined this challenge (a year ago next week) I didn’t know it was going to be ongoing. As long as someone is around to keep it going, it will be here. Right now @GrandmaJackie is at the helm. Anyone is welcome to join, hang out, post, just read, be inspired and be positive and supportive.

I don't even want to think about you leaving, but I think I'm going to be here forever. If it ever comes to a point when it seems like this group might disappear, I'd be happy to take responsibility to keep it going.

I'm fully back on Keto, and it kinda feels like I never left. I haven't had an official weigh-in below 190, but I have seen it on my scale, and I'm really excited. The end of last round was fantastic (~5lbs in 3 days), and it looks like it "stuck." Going on vacation next Tuesday for 1 week (and with my in-law side of the family... 10 people... in a van), and I'm really happy that I got back on Keto before this. It's just not THAT hard to maintain, and it gives me an extra reason (for them) to stay away from things I've always wanted to stay away from.

Age: 46
Height 5’11”
Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs
Recent SW: 220.0 lbs (1/14/18)

Total loss (since 1/14/18, but before this round): 29.8 lbs
Average weight loss per round: 2.08 lbs

R43 SW = 190.2, SBF% = 15.3
Goals for this round: get below 189.9 and stay there; continue to monitor body fat percentage

Day/Weight/Comment

6/07 = 190.4 (+0.2), BF% = 15.3 (no change). I'm really happy to see this number, as I was not fully convinced that yesterday's weigh-in was accurate. I snacked a bit much yesterday, which led to me eating at about maintenance. I'm feeling super-positive right now. I have basketball and the weightlifting tonight. I think I'm eventually going to alternate my weightlifting and basketball days; I'm not sure it will make a difference health/fitness-wise, but it should improve the likelihood that I get my weightlifting in. At this point, when I have to sacrifice something (because of time), I just do legs at the gym, not upper body.

6/08 = 191.2 (+0.8), BF% = (need to fill this in later, though I did check it). This is "one of those days." I played basketball last night, I had a healthy dinner, and I ate well yesterday; everything indicated that today should have been, at worst, maintaining my weight. Daily fluctuations; sometimes they make sense, sometimes they don't. But, given my current Zen state, I'm going to see this for what it is. Basketball was mediocre last night, but I didn't get hurt. I'm experiencing some ridiculous drama at work today (petty personal drama), and it has me in a bad mood.

6/07 213.4 exercised for 32 minutes last night! Now the struggle is not drinking the monster I bought, thinking it was the no calorie no sugar version that I love.

Hi. I am Donna. I am on the low carb keto diet because I need to lose weight but also quickly lower my blood glucose levels since I am Type 2 diabetic and my glucose numbers got to a very dangerous level. So far it is working. My weight loss goals are also being met although I have found when it comes to weight loss, all true diets will work if you stick with it consistantly and try to get in some physical fitness as well. This is my first 10 day challenge. Good luck to us all (no matter which type of diet or physically activity you have chosen). We can do this folks!

6/07 193.8 lbs. I Had a doctor appointment today and found out my blood levels are all perfect including my cholesterol so I am thrilled. Dr. supports my keto diet and gave me some more tips. Stuck to my diet very good today although I still battle occasional cravings.

Round 42 SW 179.8 EW 179.8 (+1.8)

Day/Weight/Comment
6/07 179.2/ I’m really hoping for a loss this time, I won’t be travelling for work at all and I started an exercise regime. I haven’t eaten back any of the additional calories I burned boxing or walking earlier this week, so here’s to hoping.
6/08 179.8/ A little disappointing, but I’m sure that it’s water weight.

Day/Weight/Comment

6/07 – 181.8: Miniscule drop, but I’LL TAKE IT!!! Ate well and didn’t eat back exercise calories. Really psyched for my Round 2. Thinking I’ll do another Booster Weekend. I didn’t do all the exercise I wanted last weekend, but the thought of my personal mini challenge kept me focused on eating well.

6/08 – 181.8: Same, and it’s ok. Did no workout yesterday and ate within calories but late. Planning to stay on point this weekend with eating and exercise. Really want the downward creep to continue each day. So, 2.5 litres of water a day, eating within calories and back to wearing my Fitbit and challenging my friends. Fitbit goal for the weekend - 30,000 steps.
