6/07- 149.0 Slept in today. Exercise is going to be difficult. My cold is kicking my butt…. Biked for an hour yesterday. Food was good. Up a bit later than I wanted, but that’s okay. Spent time connecting with my husband. Nice night.
6/08- 150. Likely water retention from the peanuts I had before bed time. Not stressing over it. Did I exercise? I can't remember. I'm taking a as I know I battled various cravings.

6/11- 153. Not worrying about this. Yes, it's high. But that generally happens after a weekend where I've had a couple of drinks. Morning workout. Walked at lunch. A bit off last night with my food choices. I was So very hungry. And I got into chocolate. Operation declutter is underway.
6/12- No weigh in today. No exercise this morning. Crappy night of sleep. Got to fit in some time at the gym lifting. But it doesn’t look promising today.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/07 168.00
6/08 166.8 Had a tough PM last night and overindulged in carbs, surprising that it didn't show up on the scale but I am grateful. I will get some exercise today for sure and hopefully get rid of the bloat!
6/09 166.6 I succumbed again last night to sweets after dinner, going over my calorie budget again. My husband is out of town and I feel like this is my "excuse" or the cause of my lack of motivation in the evening. I am surprised yet again that it didn't show up on the scale, but I will not push my luck for a third day in a row. I started the day both days really great, its just the 8 pm and later that has me struggling. Or not really struggling, just kind of saying what the heck, and going for it. Today is a new day. I can't change the past only move forward.
6/10 166.6 3rd night in a row where I overindulged.
6/11 166.6 so incredibly grateful to read everyone's challenges so similar to mine. It is hard sometimes to remember that it is a journey, a process, to enjoy the ride and not be so hard on myself. I had a really great day yesterday, a little over my calorie allowance, but I feel really good this morning because I made good choices. Today is going to be a great day!

@quiltingjaine, yes, we play food games, of a sort in my house. The game is, YOU eat what I cook OR you can buy something out. When I met my husband he had the most deplorable diet. His mother would offer him food but he wouldn't take it. His weekly diet was sub sandwiches, Arby's, Coke, greasy fried fish, pork rinds (I laughed when I found out they were Keto friendly) and a quart of hot sauce. No green vegetables or salad and only oranges and bananas. I was a serious upgrade to his eating habits. Whatever I see him binging on, I no longer buy or limit. I've been doing that since we were young. He can buy it if he wants it that badly. Lol, my DH is a corn and saltine eater too! My children laugh at me when I talk about corn coming out looking the same as it goes in.
Your husband lost 5# with no thanks to you? That is usually my husband, but this time he's a little different. He thanks me for preparing his meals and told my son that I'm his dietician. Lol, o-kay.

6/07 - 156.6 - hello my friend
6/08 - 156.6 - Nice to see this number again. Had high amount of sodium yesterday so might see an increase the next day or two but tried to drink lots of water too. Busy weekend starting today with some kind of food get together each day so will need to have lots of will power and really pay attention to what I eat so I don't gain.
6/09 - 156.6 - hmm....
6/10 - 156.2 - Was at a wild game dinner last night so I didn't log any food as I wasn't sure how but I only had a small plate and 2 spiked sparkling waters and a light lunch before so my calorie intake shouldn't of been too horrible. Weigh in is also a few hours late as we stayed up really late and I enjoyed sleeping in. Hoping to get a walk in today between the rain storms. Happy Sunday!
6/11 - 156.2 - So close to my mini goal but also very close to the day I wanted to meet it by. Making sure I get my water in, I eat healthy and I'm going to throw in a couple extra workouts the next few days to help me get there. Was pretty relaxed this weekend when it came to exercising and my steps but it's time to up the game.
6/12 - 155.0 - please be true, please be true, please be true! I've been working hard the past few days to see this number and praying it'll stick around. I'll celebrate tomorrow if I see it again because this is my goal weight for this round plus my mini goal I wanted to reach by the 15th. And when I say celebrate, I mean with a happy dance and a new dress to wear on our anniversary.

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!
6/12 135.0 Awake and up before 5. Too darn early! Today is my 1 year JGM10D anniversary. Although I was getting ready to be taking several trips before mid-July I decided I would use 10 days JUST ONCE. I didn’t realize it would go on forever but I am so glad it has. It’s my better addiction! (Wt revised at 8AM after 2 mugs of coffee and 2 trips to the loo)5 -
Round 43: My second round
SW: 182.0
RGW: 179.0
UGW: 130
R42 SW 186.6 EW 182 (-4.6)
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 how to stay on point this weekend with eating and exercise. Really want the downward creep to continue each day.
6/09 – 182.8: HUH??? This hurts my feelings because I ate within calories yesterday. Fine, I didn’t formally exercise, other than 45 minutes of housework, but seriously… a whole pound up??? This is too early in my journey for this. This is when I start to waiver, I NEED to go down please..
6/10 – 181.8: Back to starting weight at the beginning of this round. Grateful for this.
6/11 – 181.0: Late weigh in. Pleasant surprise since I had a Twizzlers attack last night. And not just the ordinary Twizzlers – the ones stuffed with creamy icing. I still managed to stay within calories, but way over on sugar and carbs. Gonna drink lots and lots of water today to flush it out.
6//12 – 181.0: Same. Below calories yesterday and one-hour walk. Would love to start running soon, but it’s been so long and I’m a bit nervous of injury. I really don’t want anything to stall my exercise, so I’ll take it slow, build strength and try a bit later. Hoping for a drop tomorrow. I am so grateful for this challenge - it truly keeps my head in the game!

@Anneloesn: So sorry to hear your news. You're in my thoughts and prayers today. Keep running -- it worked for my brother who received a very grim prognosis 10 years ago. He continues to run through the highs and lows of his journey.6

Weighed daily just not logged since 6/8 ~ catch-up time!
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.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
6/12 - Tuesday - 201.2 - Yesterday was tough - I was so tired, and I don't do well with anything when tired. I made it to the grocery store - avoided the chips in the check out line - but ate 2 slices of deli meat when I got home. Cooked and ate dinner, ate some ice cream, ate some chips, ate some more ice cream. Oi. That hasnt happened in a while but between the indulgences over the weekend and the lack of sleep I got a bit out of control. Logged it and I'm moving on! Back to my usuals today - smoothie, leftovers for lunch, popcorn for a snack, and meats thawing for dinner tonight. Lots of water to flush out ALL this sodium I've consumed over the past 5 days, expecting the gain to stick around a few days but hopeful to be back in onderland by rounds end!

@quiltingjaine, SMH. We can't throw them away, we've had them too long. Lol.
Happy 1 year "10Days" Anniversary! I'm so glad you are here!
@AJB1014, I think you did well. A day or so and the gain will be gone.5 -
Round 43/Round 1 for me
SW: 152.7
UGW: 125
RGW: 130/135
Weekly goal: lose one pound, exercise 6 days a week a minimum of 30 minutes. Minimum 30 minutes cardio daily.
6/10: 152.7 - humbling moment after not weighing myself for two years
6/11: 151.5 - in an ironic twist of fate I ate lots of "naughty food yesterday but kept portions in check and lost a pound. Got in lots of exercise so that helped I suppose. Getting back in the swing of logging everything. Today's goal is to continue to log and up my protein intake -- trying to balance macros better.
6/12: 151.7 - kinda what I expected. No exercise yesterday, too much salt in my diet yesterday, three days till estimated TOM start day, whole lot of insomnia last night. Suffering from really bad allergies, headache and asthma, smoke in the air from wildfires and I don't feel like doing a darn thing. Today I'm focusing on gallons of water!

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.
6/12, Tuesday – 161.2 No gym today but lots of gardening (I hope). Beautiful sunny day after a weekend of cold and rain.

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% = 15.5. 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.
6/12 = 191.0 (-1.6), BF% = 15.3. Total BWHOOSH™ (formerly known as BOUNCE BACK™). Finally a decent weigh-in after basketball last night. My knee felt loose/sore at basketball, though, so it wasn't all good news. I went to the gym before basketball last night, lifted weights (including legs), but I have to admit that I skipped the gym last Thursday and Saturday (but still played basketball). I know better. Thinking back, I'm pretty sure I know what's going on, as it's happened before. Part of me (hell, all of me) wants to be "normal" again, someone who isn't dealing with the aftereffects of reconstructive knee surgery 20 years ago, including pretty severe osteoarthritis. I would love to be able to play basketball and NOT need to lift weights every time I go in order to keep my reconstructed knee and associated leg in its best possible state (which still sucks). This experience, once again, reminds me that this day will never come. It's a little depressing, but this is old, old news. If I go to the gym regularly (one gym workout per one day of basketball), I generally feel much better. I'm recommitting to doing this. Again. On a happier note, I'm going on vacation for a week! I will not be weighing in again until Wednesday, 6/20. Anyone have any ideas regarding how I should "report" this in my history (SW, EW, AW, etc.)? *Edit* Last night I asked my wife to take the following phrase out of her vocabulary when it comes to me and food, "Maybe you can just have a little."
