Day/Weight/Calories Day Before/10-day ave (aiming for 1430)/Comment

6/07 - 149.8 - 1526 - 10-day ave 1452
We went out for lunch yesterday (Mexican, but I had grilled chicken and rice with veggies), so although I stayed pretty much within calorie bounds, I'm sure my sodium was higher than usual. I spent a good hour digging and planting flowers in my garden.

6/08 - 149.8 - 1245 - 10-day ave 1421.4
OK, scale, I'm ready for a little drop if you don't mind. I'm keeping calories low, macros good, and I'm exercising, so come on, your turn.

6/9 - 149.8 - 1433 - 10-day ave 1435.5
Sigh. I really thought I'd see a little more movement here. My total calories are right at my estimated TDEE (maintenance), but I'm burning a reasonable number each day. Or I thought I was. I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing through the end of this round and see if there's any progress. If not, I'll look for a way to shake things up. It's pouring rain this morning, with lightning, so no walk, but I'll find something else.... Lunch with a friend, but I'll stick to good stuff. Have a lovely weekend, all!

6/10 - 149.6 - 1442 - 10-day ave 1448.9
Finally, a baby step in the right direction. I find these numbers & averages fascinating. There's still one high-calorie day in my 10-day set of numbers - it will be there for 2 more days. Without it, by average would be about 40 calories lower. I'll be interested to see what happens when I hit the lower averages (assuming I don't splurge again any time soon!). I do eat what I want - pizza for lunch yesterday with a friend - but still keep my daily total within bounds and that seems to make the difference. Anyway, if you find yourself frustrated with the daily ups & downs, try averaging, either yourself or using one of the apps that calculate running averages of weights entered.

6/11 - 150 - 1374 - 10-day ave 1456.6 (7-day ave 1421)
I'm officially frustrated. Phooey.

6/10 = 190.8 (+0.6), BF% = 15.3. Yesterday was a mixed bag. Basketball was great, eating, not so much. My wife was a horrible, insidious influence. I know my eating is my responsibility, but she was in rare form. I need to find a kind way to talk with her about this, because I can deal with temptation, but not sabotage from my wife.

I feel your pain! I've gained a lot of weight the past 5 years as a result of a new marriage and my husband's indulgent tendencies. Every meal is his "last supper"! He's also gained weight. I've tried to talk with him to no avail. And you are right, I just have to take responsibility and I guess from now on he can either eat what I serve or make his own dinner.... I hope your wife is more responsive!

Thank you for the validation @sunshinegirlnm !! I wish you luck with your husband, too!

@sunshinegirlnm & @puddlegoober Ouch! have you let your spouses know how important your health goals are? Also, have you asked for their help? Will (new boyfriend) and I are both on the same page when it comes to fat loss and health; we keep each other on track while out on dates and daily via the phone.

6/11 190lbs – no pickles and down a pound over the weekend. That’s unheard of !!!!!!!

@marcvb35 actually, that's 100% normal. Your body didn't need the excess water anymore.

My habit of logging here is working as well in maintenance as it did while losing. Wishing everyone a god round!

Round 42 GOAL = Log every day. Get 5 cardio workouts. Get 5 mini strength workouts.

6/7 - 126.4 - whoosh of -2 pounds in a day. This takes me back to my pre-vacation range, getting rid of the bit I gained AFTER coming back. Yesterday just under maintenance calories, 30 min elliptical arctrainer, and tested my recovering knee in a 1.25 mile run ... it passed!
6/8 - 127.0 - Yesterday right at maintenance calories, RAN 2.2 MILES, walked an extra bit, and got my 10K steps.
6/9 - 127.4 - Yesterday under maintenance by 100 or so, ran 2 miles, and did a little body-weight strength workout, just starting. 10K steps.
6/10 - 128.0 - Yesterday 170 over maintenance calories and I LOGGED IT ANYWAY (that has been a fight for me so yay). Left Knee has gotten jealous of Right Knee and decided it wanted extra massage, the neoprene sleeve, arnica, and biofreeze TOO. Unfortunate, but maybe I shouldn't have done so many body weight lunges and squats barefoot on a cushy rug while watching the Warriors win the title Friday night. Nonetheless, 10K steps and a short walk.

6/11 - 128.4 - Yesterday under maintenance calories, 13K steps, and a workout that mixed short run, elliptical with sprints, and a little strength

I have the same issue around logging when I feel it's bad or I've gone way over.... I'm trying to take the judgment out of it and just be practical and realistic and log "the good, the bad and the ugly."

•6/7 -196.6 - Oh yeah. My tag-a-long friend.
•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.
•6/9 - 198 - I weighed in at 198 very early this morning. No opportunity to weigh at my usual time. The increase was surely due to the fact that I took 20ozs of water filled with electrolytes to bed with me. I needed it. It was a hot day yesterday. Ran errands until late afternoon and cooked all evening. My granddaughter, 4, and grandson, 18 mos, were with me today. Five hours of coloring, painting, sticker activities, reading, music and nursery rhyme videos, climbing on me and lap sitting. I'm tired now. I had to rely on my peanut butter as my mid-day meal. I NEVER get to eat an actual meal when they are visiting. I'm feeding them all day though. My water intake is on the low side too. Why? I give those little rascals water, but they drink mine. Smh. I guess mine tastes better to them. Can't wait for the next visit.
•6/10 - 199.2 - Not alarmed by this weigh in. I just didn't weigh before consuming 16 ozs of water and 2 large mugs of coffee.

7: 201... Had company from out of state last night and ate a late supper with a bit of wine. It was a nice evening with friends. Taking the kids on a family day trip today, and will just enjoy whatever meals are available as I'm not sure where we'll end up eating. Spontaneous quality family time day to just enjoy each other and life! I may or may not log, but I imagine the scale will go up tomorrow. This kind of feels like my "weekend."
8: 203.1... Not so very long ago, I would've been ashamed to post this kind of weight jump. Today, I'm not. I enjoyed a "day off" and am easily observing the aftermath without judgement. Yesterday, I didn't follow my usual IF hours and found myself much hungrier than is normal for me these days. The hunger is likely also correlated to my approaching TOM. I made some healthy choices yesterday and some not so healthy ones. The scale reflects that. This morning, I also experienced increased hunger, but I stuck to IF. Ate some things I normally wouldn't due to traveling. I'm significantly over my calories, even with a 90-minute walk. But all is well. I'm happy with where I'm at on this journey and eagerly looking forward to where I want to be. I spend time acknowledging how far I've come and how much easier the process is for me when I lighten up and don't judge or shame myself. I'm not stressing about needing to see a certain number. I just know that I'll get there. I love and accept my body the way it is for all that it has gotten me through. This abdomen has carried three beautiful children. These hips widened to allow their passage into the world. These thighs are strong and have walked me through military training, a combat deployment, many personal challenges, and thousands of miles of personal reflection and renewal. I look in the mirror and like what I see, and I see my body changing to reflect my positive thoughts surrounding it. It's a beautiful life and I beautiful day. I hope you all are enjoying yours! ❤️
9: 204... Attack of the late night munchies. Stayed in bed until noon today. Pre-TOM symptoms are full force!
10: 203... I did well yesterday. I ended up over calories by 64, but that still puts me way below maintenance. Got up and took a walk in the rain this morning and met my step goal before noon. Looking forward to seeing another drop tomorrow.
11: 203...TOM today or tomorrow. Should see my usual drop after it starts.

6/07 - Thursday - 198.4 - Nice! Last night was crazy busy, still ate well. Packed and ready to leave from work! I am committed to being present in the moment while away, but also plan to keep up my habit and log in to MFP each day. No scales. Aim to maintain while still enjoying!
6/08 - Friday - Traveling - ate at maintenance today! And yesterday. Aiming to do the same tomorrow and Sunday!
6/09 - Saturday - Traveling - another day at maintenance!
6/10 - Sunday - Traveling - Ate at maintenance again!
6/11 - Monday - 199.8 - Holy moly I cannot believe this! Perhaps I'm a bit dehydrated after traveling? Although I usually retain water after a flight. I had a lovely vacation with my family - it was not entirely centered around food but I certainly enjoyed myself eating instead of stressing about every bite. It was so nice to get away from it all. It was also fun to enjoy things this weekend and not feel bad about it. I'm not on a diet this time around - it's a lifestyle change. So I'm not stressing about "cheating" or having a few not so perfect days. Life is for living and I did a lot of that this weekend! The food I ate fueled me to wake up and watch the sunrise on the beach. It fueled me to swim and play in the ocean for hours. It was food I shared with loved one's. It was food that made me smile. I thought I might go home with a few extra pounds of weight, but it seems I have found the right balance and I get to come home with a few hundred memories, a heart full of love, and gratitude for the things my body allows me to do.

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.

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% = 15.3. 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.

6/09 = 190.2 (-1.0), BF% = 15.3. Basically A WHOOSH™. I ate well yesterday. I'm right in the edge of 189.x. Trying not to obsess about it. I play basketball in a little over an hour, and I'm going to stop at the gym. This could be the day. I'm going to eat very mindfully today. Going it for drinks tonight for a friend's birthday, so it's going to be tough. 2 drinks max, and they must be Keto-friendly.

6/10 = 190.8 (+0.6), BF% = 15.3. Yesterday was a mixed bag. Basketball was great, eating, not so much. My wife was a horrible, insidious influence. I know my eating is my responsibility, but she was in rare form. I need to find a kind way to talk with her about this, because I can deal with temptation, but not sabotage from my wife.

6/11 = 192.6 (+1.8), BF% = 15.6. I feel like this is "leftover" from my day before, because I was within calories, macros, and whatever. Maybe I had a "little" more bacon last night than I should have. I have been a little light on sleep the past few days, and I've also been a little light on water, and both of those could be affecting things. I'm playing basketball and going to the gym tonight. I'll keep trying to figure this out. Not going to let this get me down.

@L2HS I believe that most, if not all of us, have found daily weight tracking helpful. We have used it to discover the patterns our own bodies. For instance, if I really blow it, it will be 2-3 days before that is reflected on the scale. I don’t have hormone issues like some but the pattern of those can be tracked too. Welcome to the group!!

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
Round 42 - SW: 162.6, EW 162,
Round 43 – SW 162, GW under 161,
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.”
6/09, Saturday – 162.2 Not awful but could have done better last night. Inspired by Ellie7187 “Will just have a good week to make up for it.” Getting discouraged definitely doesn’t help.
6/10, Sunday – 161.8
6/11, Monday- 160.8 So happy with this! It has been a long time. Ate OK on the weekend but I think this is more a result of the last months of hanging in there. Doing some sewing and I measured my hips and down 2”. It’s when I start trying on some clothes that I used to wear that I realize how dishonest I have been with myself. The “I guess I’ve gained a bit” was actually 20# and now I’ve lost about 6# of it.

@sunshinegirlnm and @puddlegoober When I did Weight Watchers back in 1985-6, I fixed one meal for my family and another for myself. You might have to try this strategy. Weight Watchers foods have become more normal. When we moved in with our daughter several years ago I used their recipes for the whole family with no objections.

CONSISTENCY is the key to weight loss

tiabirdie56 · June 2018

My 2 cents on the situation, @puddlegoober. I wrote this after reading your post yesterday.
@puddlegoober, does your wife do all the cooking? It could simply be that she feels its a bother to her, that you now want to eat differently from how she has always cooked for you. I know all about that feeling. I thought I was over it years ago, when my DH went on his first diet. Those feelings raised their ugly head within me 3 weeks ago when he decided he was going on Medifast again. I cook for my son also a couple of times a week. Now with my husband being on a totally different WOE, it has me cooking meals 3 different ways. It had me somewhat po'ed for about a week, because I have to remember precisely what portion of which
proteins he can have, with what amount of fat and measure everything differently from mine. Vegetable portions are easier, no starchy carbs, limited carbs, no dairy. All he has to do is eat.

It can be a pain, but he needs to lose a lot of weight and I love him, so. My life is wrapped up in measuring spoons and food scales.

And, BTW, my DH is the saboteur in my family, yet when he's trying to lose weight he doesn't want food he can't have around him.
Good thing is I've always been immune to his sabotage.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

6/7 136.5 I was feeling frustrated when I weighed this morning until I realized, I am still below my original goal weight. Working on changing my mind set.
6/8 136.0
6/9 136.5
6/10 136.5
6/11 135.0. Yesterday we cleaned our daughter’s carpets since they were gone until last night. Lots of going up and down stairs which I would not have been able to do a year ago due to knee pain. THANK YOU KETO!
