@tiabirdie56 and @quiltingjaine Thank you for the birthday wishes! I had a great day on the beach with my family!
Also thank you to anyone else who may have wished me happy birthday, I've a lot of reading to do to go get caught up with everyone!2 -
I’m in. I’ve gone completely out of control! I can’t believe I keep doing this to myself.
SW this round 185.8
Goal this round 180.0 looking for -5.8 this round.
It’s a big goal but my body is just so so so bloated that I think I’ll drop a few pounds easy as long as I push the water. If I can make this happen this round I will make more reasonable goals in the future rounds.
7/27 - 185.8
7/28 - 184.4. (-1.4) so far so good.
7/29 - 182.8 (-3 total so far)
7/30 - 180.8 (-5 total so far)
7/31 - 180.0. (-5.8 total so far) I know it’s just water weight coming off but it’s a good motivator anyway!
8/1 - 178.6 (-7.2 total so far) shocked at the weigh in this morning. I thought I would have a gain as I had a love fest (or feast) with half a package of S’more wafer cookies. I did run just over 3 miles in this Texas heat after work yesterday so who knows. Our bodies are funny things that react in ways we don’t expect at times.
8/2 - 178.6 (-7.2 total so far)- well the water weight seems to have worked itself out! Pleased.
8/3 - 179.6 (-6.2 total so far) up a bit but still pleased overall.
8/4 - 179.6 (-6.2 total so far this round)
8/5 - 178.8 - I’m thrilled with this round. I stuck with the entire 10 days and lost a total of 7 pounds. On to the next round!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
7/27 135.5 The aftermath of sitting in a car for 2 days.
7/28 135.0 @0500 I have been craving burnt ends from a local BBQ place. I forgot to tell them no sauce. I think this has dropped me out of nutritional ketosis. Color me sad. Why would you slather sauce on meat that has been dry rubbed and smoked and tasted awesome? The sauce is awful!
7/29 134.5 Ate well yesterday but wanted “something.” I haven’t had one of those days sine I started keto over a year ago. Finally got a fat bomb out of the freezer and all was well. I’m curious about where everyone is and what your high temperatures are. I live in the desert SW - Las Vegas, and the temperature this morning at 5:30AM was 91*F with anticipated high of only 109 today.
7/30 133.5 Water fitness was great!
7/31 133.5
8/1 133.5
8/2 133.5 What a lousy night! I know good sleep is supposed to help with weight loss but how does one get good sleep? I went to bed early (before 10:30) for me last night but woke up about four times and finally gave up and got up at 3:30 this morning.
8/3 133.5 Busy day, water fitness, defrosted freezer, met friends for dinner and went to see a live band. I’m tired.
8/4 134.0 Ate later than usual and ate half a plate of cruciferous veggies so not worried.
8/5 134.0 Out late three nights in a row, multiple adult beverages each night although all Keto friendly. On to Round 49!8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
•7/27 - 189.2 -
Early weigh in. This end of round drop and beginning round overnight gain of ONE pound seems to be my trend. I'm officially in the overweight BMI category. Kind of a weird eating day for me yesterday. Went to help my niece again, but was rushed, so I threw some random food items into my lunchbag. None of my plans for the day were achieved. 35g carbs, 26g net carbs. Lettuce, grape tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, strawberries, cottage cheese, peanut butter
•7/28 - 187.8 - Okay, I know, I'm supposed to be dialing down the carbs, but I have 4 more days left and fried chicken and fresh peach sounded delicious.
63g carbs, 55g Net carbs. Seasoned coating for chicken, green beans, broccoli slaw, poppyseed dressing, 1/2 medium fresh peach, peanut butter, of course
•7/29 - 188.2 - Early weigh in. 57g carbs, 51g net carbs. Salad greens, 1/2 medium fresh peach, strawberries, cottage cheese, seasoned coating for chicken, peanut butter
•7/30 - 188.2 - 50g carbs, 37g net carbs. Green beans, peanuts, peanut butter, seasoned coating for chicken.
•7/31 - 187.8 - Well I lied, today will be my last day of higher carb fruits. I still have one peach to eat. Looking back over the month, I did well except for two extremely high carb days that involved bread and sugar aka sugar and sugar? 45g carbs, 39g net carbs. Seasoned coating for chicken (So long fried chicken! I won't miss you.) salad greens, spinach, fresh plum, lime juice.
•8/1 -186.8 - Early weigh in. It's unbelievable that its August already! Yesterday was my last day of increased carbohydrates. 46g carbs, 35g net carbs. Broccoli, salad greens, sunflower seeds, fresh peach. I didn't eat anything that I had planned until 5:30 pm. My niece held me up briefly in the a.m. from running my errands. She asked me to watch her children for a short time and I did. I wasn't hungry until after I left the house, about 1 p.m. Bought some sunflower seeds to stave off my hunger for a couple of hours. Didn't drink enough water throughout the day. Changed up my planned meals a bit, because my eating time was shortened. *My third day back to intermittent fasting. Took a month off.* Made a semi chef's salad, forgot to boil eggs. ? Felt stuffed after eating, but specifically after eating that peach. BUT, no more fresh peaches until next summer, so it's all good. I hope to keep carbs under 20- 25 grams today.
•8/2 - 185.2 - 21g carbs (18g carbs), 17g net carbs (14g net carbs) Ugh, I had my carbs perfect! 18 grams total and messed it up with lime juice. I NEEDED that lime in my water though. My mouth was so dry and I needed flavor. Otherwise, a good day. Macros WERE on point before my little green monster. Changed my nutrition goals, calories dropped by 20.
•8/3 -187 - Early weigh in. Ooo boy! The fluid retention is crazy this morning. 25g carbs, 22g net carbs.
In my mind I'm ready right now to get back to my normal level of exercise, but I'm not, too many injuries. Gotta take it slow. I've also been wanting to get outside and take care of my overgrown shrubs. I got started yesterday. It's been so much rain, the gentleman that cuts my lawn has not done so since June 28! It's been so long that I asked him if I had missed a cut. More rain and storms today, so I'm going out to chop on these shrubs again before it starts.
•8/4 - 185.6 - 31g carbs, 24g net carbs. More outdoor chores yesterday. Always a great upper body workout and the only way I can do squats without thinking about my knee. Muscles are sore, but that makes me know I worked them effectively.
•8/5 - 186.4 - A bit tired this morning and retaining fluid. Stayed up late doing something for a family member. Drank water throughout those additional hours, so obviously not much sleep from the potty runs the rest of the night. Smh. Still a loss of 1.8lbs for the round.

SW 170
GW 166
UGW 140
7/27- 170 Ate 3 tacos at dinner time last night and went way over my sodium for the day. But I also did 2 workouts as well 😊
7/28- 170
7/29- 170 Patiently waiting for the 160's! Trying to get a workout in every day and staying within my calorie range. It's amazing how much better I feel already though!
7/30- 169! My family keeps bringing goodies to our home, cobblers, cakes and the other day doughnuts. I've been trying to stay away from all of it but yesterday I gave in to the doughnuts lol. Still proud of myself! 😊
7/31- 168 I sure hope my scales are right. I know it's still early in my journey (14 days in, 7 lbs down) so the weight loss will probably slow down soon.
8/01- 168
8/02- 167 Consistancy is key! Staying within my calorie range and getting a workout in daily, even if its only 10-15 minutes.
8/03- 168 1 pound up, probably from all the sodium yesterday. I had a 16 oz mango rita last night. Feel very dehydrated even though I drank a lot of water with it. I also ate cheese dip for dinner, but stayed in my calorie range. Bad choices and I feel crummy today. Will do better today!
8/04- 167 😊 happy! Feel so much better today. I felt terrible most of the day yesterday, and I know it was from that rita I drank the night before.
8/05- 166 met my round 48 goal yay! Super happy. Can't wait for the next round and others to come 13 -
I'm back! Was doing this challenge last year for a while. I think from about round 11 - 17. Got off track and am ready to get serious again.I'm 60 years old, soon to be 61. I like to walk and do yoga, but haven't been doing either lately.
I mostly eat a Paleo type diet, but just bought some ketostix and may give keto a whirl, but not until after my anniversary and birthday in August. I've done two rounds of Whole30 and had really good results from it.

Round 48
7/27: 219.6 Wooot back to my lowest weight that I was a week ago, dang I missed those numbers! Must have been retaining water!
7/28: 219.2 Really surprised I had a loss today!
7/29: 218.6 OMG I ate terrible yesterday, I logged everything and was just a little over but how did I lose?? I am so surprised!
7/30: 218.6 Happy it's not a gain, I'm so tired. Wondering if my weigh ins are better when I've slept longer. On the 27th woke up at 6:10, 28th 7:30 29th 8:30, today the 30th 6:10.
7/31: 217.8 10 Day Goal Met!!!! This is really exciting, I have never met a weightloss goal before!! (This may be a repost, I posted earlier or at least I thought I did lol)
8/01: 217.2 I am continuously surprised that losing weight can feel easy, and that I don't feel deprived. This has never been my experience.
8/02: 217.8 Not surprised, and not a big deal! I didn't mean plan yesterday, had Chili's Chicken Tacos (how the heck are those so high in Calories) and they were yummy. Back to planning today!
8/03: 217.8 Well I guess my body likes this number, might as well chill here lol. 😒😂
8/04: 218.2 What The Heck?!?! I am so annoyed. The only differences have been the last 2 days I had coffee and homemade chocolate cake (small pieces). Can that really throw off my weight this much? One a positive note I posted this today, in the past I wouldn't have and I honestly felt like saying screw it.
8/05: 217.6 Well finished on a good note!!12 -

Round 47 - SW 158 EW 152.5 (-5.5 lbs)
Round 48 - SW 152.5 EW 150 (-2.5 lbs)
Round 48 goals: 10,000 steps per day. In bed by 11 pm.
7/27- 152.5 - 13,000 steps, plus some extra exercise. Made time for breakfast and remembered to pack a healthy lunch.
7/28 -152 - 12,000 steps. Attended a wedding today. The food was not my style, so no trouble to not overindulge. Nearly two weeks of consistent exercise has sure made me feel better.
7/29 - 152.5 - 13,000 steps - Forgot to post.
7/30 - 153.5 - 15,000 steps. Prosecco and pizza and pasta, oh my. No surprise to see today's number. Got a nice little hike in with the family. It was our puppy's first hike and he was surprisingly well behaved! The weather is warm here (for the Pacific Northwest) and I'm glad to be back in my air conditioned office today. A study just came out that said that Seattle is the least air conditioned metropolitan city in the US. So when it's 80 degrees outside, there's no escape - it's also 80 degrees inside. I kind of just melt into my couch on hot weekends and don't want to move at all.
7/31 - 153 - 11,000 steps, elliptical and weight lifting. It's a little cooler here today and it feels sooo good. Glad to see the scale creeping back down.
8/01- 152.5 - Ha, just typo'd and entered that at 125.5. Wouldn't that be nice! 13,000 steps.
8/02 - 151. Didn't hit my step goal yesterday. I came home and was so tired I went right to bed for 12 glorious hours of sleep!! I'd been averaging closer to 5 hours a night, which just isn't enough. Based on yesterday alone, it's sleeping, not stepping, that drives the scale down for me.
8/03 - 151. 12,000 steps.
8/04 -150 - Hooray! My scale isn’t digital, so maybe 150.5, but I swear it looked pretty spot on the 150 line and I hopped on and off that scale three times to check! I’m calling it 150 and hoping it sticks for the end of the round tomorrow.
8/05 - 150 - 18,000 steps yesterday. Very happy with the results this round and looking forward to the next one!
Round total: 2.5 pound loss.8 -
Round 3 - dropped out the last round - basically gave up because my weight wasn't moving - eventually, it moved in the wrong direction!!!
I have picked myself up and dusted my blues off - ready to restart and get back to my goals
The goal for this challenge to get to 200lbs !!! And I WILL make it this time :-)

27/07: 168.2 : Goals ✅ Spent hours working in the garden yesterday.
28/07: 167.9 : Goals ✅ Trying to tame my jungle of a garden. Also had a late evening walk.
29/07: 167.8 : Goals ✅ posting this late today. Sundays always seem to lead to a little upward bounce. I visit family and Hubster produced a delicious roast beef dinner tonight. Still under goal, and drinking lots of water, but past expectation leads me to expect the worst tomorrow morning.
30/07: 168.1 : Goals ✅ mostly! Lol! A glass of sherry and wine with Sunday dinner and not enough water!
31/07: 168.2 : Goals ✅ Still bouncing up after the weekend.
01/08: 167.7 : Goals ✅ Phew! Just a little weekend blip. Not finished yet. Lol! Gotta keep focused. Grocery day today.
02/08: 167.6 : Goals ✅
just gotta keep on HIITing it! Lol!
03/08: 167.6 : Goals ✅ ⁉️Ohh⁉️The suspense⁉️Inch worm! Inch worm!
Slow and steady wins the race,
Puts a smile on my face.
Inch by inch, ounce by ounce.
Hoping for a downward bounce.
04/08: 167.6 : Goals ✅ Very Happy with this. I did a lot of strength training yesterday and thought it might go up a bit.
05/08: 167.4 : Goals ✅ Happy with that. Almost back to pre holiday weight. It's so NOT 'easy come, easy go.'
THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

@missm2, As I've said before, getting out of the 200's was a battle for a few of us here! You will do it though. Full court press! Almost to ONEderland!4

I am doing the same thing everyday. Working out at least every other day (mostly everyday) and eating under my goal(at a deficit). I have started working on this hardcore circuit that burns 200 calories for me in just under 15 mins so I’m thinking my muscles are recovering and that’s the slight gain I see. But I feel awesome and know this is not fat gain, so I’m keeping up with the routine I’m in right now. Always need to prioritize getting more sleep though and remember to drink tons of water.
8/04 - 113.6
8/05 - 112.8
Woohooo!! That’s an awesome end to this round. Hard work paid off
Hoping to start with and keep up this loss in the next round.

7/27 last night I caved. I had a double plate of dinner and a chocolate bar...or 2. I didn't exercise at all and only drank 1 liter of water. I havent been this hungry in over two weeks. What I'm trying to say is I was too scared to weigh myself this morning so I didn't. I know I should have, just to hold my self accountable but I chickened out. Well I'm jumping back in today and going to work hard to try to get whatever weight I gained yesterday off. I have noticed a 1 day a week trend where I derail, I will have to work on that, at least until I drop a good amount of weight and then I will probably reconsider the "cheat meal" idea.
7/28 --170.8 so back to my starting weight. Worked out hard yesterday and got in 1.5 liters of water. I'm impressed because my workouts are getting easier and easier from when I started...so happy about that. Last night my fiancee grabbed chips and cookies but I managed to stay away...personal win. I already feel like it's going to be a tempting weekend so I'm going to have to be extra mindful and keep up my determination. I'm also impressed because my man has been playing Pokemon go lately which means he likes to go for walks now (he hates going out and walking, grocery shopping can be a drag with him) so i have been going out and walking around more then usual..which is a plus hope everyone has a great and mindful weekend
7/29 --171 last night had a day/night out with friends, pizza and beers. Tried not to over eat or drink but it obviously still hit me. No exercising and low on the water, it's ok though could have gained more
7/30--170.6 stayed within my calorie goal and although didn't do my usual workout, I did spend the majority of my day out and about walking around so at least it's something. Drank 1.5 liters of water. Trying to stay motivated, I have been working out relentlessly for about three weeks now (slowing down within the last couple of days) and I just assumed I would have seen a higher loss by now. My eating habits have been good and my water intake has been fair. Trying to keep my head up though and push on. Hopefully after today I will finally see those 160s. I can't wait to see some sort of progress
7/31--170 slow and steady is my pace. Ate within calories, worked out and finally pushed the 2 liters of water. Mentally feeling better today so that's good. Just feeling a little bloated, why? I have no clue lol. I am so anxious to be in those 60s lol
8/01-- 168.8 Wooooooooot!!! Had to check three times lol. I exercised good yesterday, ate under my calories and 1.7 liters of water. I hope this sticks and isn't one of those weigh ins that only lasts for the day. Mind you I feel good about it because I slowly got here.... so happy!!! Another plus, slept good last night and I don't feel bloated anymore.
8/02-- 169.2 was good all day but then my hubby decided to break out the chips. I had a bit of extra calories and decided to stay within the 20 chip limit..... not to self: this never works, it was as if the minute I started eating them I just wanted more and more shhhhhheeeesh. I also had a laze day with the exercising, even walked very little. This round hasn't been my best with exercising but I am not planning to make this a habit. I am absolutely determined to keep going. well back to it then
8/03 168.6 it's as if I'm on a weight roller coaster. Well this is good regardless, I am so happy settling here in my 60s and continuing my downhill trend. Ate within my calories although I could have had more veggies, drank 1.7 liters of water and exercised. It was a good day overall so I am happy. Now for that last .6 to meet my challenge goal... it will be the first time
8/04 --167.8 woot!!! Melting away My goal was 168 for the round so if I keep this up for tomorrow's weigh in I will have made it worked out good yesterday 1.5 liters of water and stayed under my calories. Tonight is UFC night which means pizza, poutine, NACHOS, chips, pop and more...yikes!!! But I'm not worried, I planned out all my meals for tonight and my guests are always impressed when they see me eating salads and veggies rather then the junk food, so it is great support!! Just need to enjoy the fight and stay away from the wonderful aroma. *crosses fingers*
8/05 --168 ate within my calories, walked all day and drank 1.6 liters of water. I'm still happy because this was my goal anyway. I think the weight gain was because I waited too long before eating dinner and ended up eating after 10 30... that's ok I'm happy

Hahahahahaha!!! So I guess I *really* weigh 163.7, which I believe.
Culprit: two salty meals? Many more steps?? More sleep! Not going to worry about it. Still...it is disconcerting when I was so active & brought my food, weighed food, etc, tracked all. I see why folks have a 5-lb maintenance window.
Two planned & tracked restaurant meals which I don’t have normally.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27: 259 up a bit from early in the week but I have been slowly losing; my weight fluctuates alot so we'll see about tomorrow.
7/28 253.6 It may seem like a lot to lose in a day but I was down to 255 earlier in the week. I am staying under my calorie goal but am staying closer to it, I am doing slightly better with water intake, However with a night meeting and after work appointment I ate out a bit more than I like. So I’m hoping to cook at home all this week. Just back from my Saturday morning Aquafit class.
7/29 255.2
7/30 250.8 Went to the Mariner’s game so I am posting late. We beat the Astro’s. I missed Aquafit but walked a bit aroung Safeco Field. Had a training at work which included lunch and then ate at Safeco Fields so we will see how it goes tomorrow.
7/31 258.8 Training with pizza lunch today at work.
8/01 256.8 Had a night meeting so couldn't get to Aquafit.
8/02 ? Went to the Y and did my own Aquafit since I missed my class.
8/03 259
8/04 254.4 Okay that's better. Had a different week last week.
8/05 255.6 I started this round a bit higher than I had been weighing at so this isn't as much progress as it seems. I need to get and stay below 255 lbs.

I think because I drink so much water and when I wake up everyday I have an organic bread with avocado. I have been out walking at least 12,000 steps. I am very fortune.
8/1 Only a couple hours sleep last night. Made my meals for tomorrow. Went walking. Since the weekend my steps have been up. 4 more treatments for Radiation. I can't believe it.
8/2 - worked on meal planning for next week. Steps- have been over 10,000 all week. Still not much sleep last night.
8/3- I am so excited, next week Monday is a holiday and then I only have 2 treatments left for Radiation, Tuesday and Wednesday. I finished 28. They were saying today because I kept my regular routine as before I could fight hard, and be symptom free. Means so much for me, when I ring the bell for completion it maybe the first time I see a few tears of happiness!
8/4 Had a super busy Saturday! Did great this week for walking steps hit over 12,000/per day. I have to really watch what I eat I am having a hard time because of the steroids.
8/5 Only sleeping two hours at night time, really caught up to me today. It was near the 40`s and very humid.That made my face swell. Going to try for a better day tomorrow.

07/27 - 157.2 (no change from yesterday) I had a really good exercise day yesterday! Was able to get a run in and completed the 1st week of my 90 day challenge with the day 7 exercises. Food wise, everything was on point. I'm tired today and super happy it's Friday! So looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, although a later weigh-in may sque the number on the scale. I bought a book yesterday that was recommended by another person on a similar weight loss/fitness journey called Intuitive Eating and looking forward to diving into this book over the weekend. Welcome to everyone new to this challenge, excited to see what this round brings!
07/28 - 157.0 (down .2 from yesterday) Late weigh-in this morning and hopefully will have a late weigh-in tomorrow, so we'll see what the scale brings on Monday with a normal weigh-in time. Yesterday I completed day 8 of my 90 day challenge: Body Squat w/ 2 Knee Lift, Incline Push Ups, Alternating Reverse Lunges, Elbow Plank, 4-Point Triceps Dips, Side Step Squat w/ Bicep Curls (used dumbbells), & Bridge Lifts. My upper body is my weakest area (in terms of strength) and I put on weight here 1st and lose here last. Those 4-point triceps dips were hard!! But the sense of accomplishment after is worth all the pain of doing them! On point yesterday with nutrition, calories & macros. Today is a scheduled rest day and my plan was to do nothing, but my daughter just got invited over to a friend's house, which opens me up to be able to get outside and get a run in - Yay!
07/29 - 156.7 (down .3 from yesterday) Didn't get to sleep in this morning as my daughter had a friend sleepover and they were up quite early wanting breakfast. They had a baked berry French toast, I had prepped the night before, I took a small bite but it didn't really interest me, happy to stick to my green smoothie. Yesterday was a partial rest day, just did a short run, it was a little warm but there was a nice breeze so no complaints. I did my day 10 of 90 workout earlier this morning and for the rest of the day I'm hoping to get some meal prep in and then have some nice family time with my husband and daughter. Enjoy your day everyone
07/30 - 156.3 (down .4 from yesterday) I've got a feeling my weight is about to have a little bounce up, maybe I'm wrong but we'll see. Usually when it drops like this (more than .2 a day), it goes up a bit and then settles back down. I'll just keep plugging along and roll with it. I didn't get enough sleep on Saturday night, so yesterday wasn't the best. I felt sluggish in my workout, and while I ate according to plan, I didn't eat enough. I took a huge afternoon nap and then couldn't sleep last night and stayed awake stressing about all sorts of things. So not good! I'm about to make some protein pancakes for breakfast and get re-charged for the day. Today is an active recovery day for day 11 of my 90 day challenge, so looking to get some yoga in, self care, and do the meal prep that didn't happen yesterday. Let's have a great start to this new week everyone!
07/31 - 156.5 (up .2 from yesterday) There's that little bump I felt coming, no reason for it except normal weight fluctuations. Yesterday was good food wise and an easy day 11 of 90 challenge wise with just gratitude sun salutations scheduled. My lower back was in a lot of weird pain yesterday so I did yoga stretches throughout the day, Epson salt bath, and alternated heat and ice therapy. Still feel kinda of wonky this morning. I've done my stretches again and will do these a couple more times throughout the day and then see about my day 12 of 90 workout later today. It is mostly upper a body/booty workout, so it should be fine but I'll see how the back situation progresses before tackling this. I'm okay with taking a day off if needed. And, sleep seems to be my big issue this round, another night with little of it. My daughter was not sleeping last night, she is 12 and has OCD/Anxiety issues and last night was one of the night she just didn't sleep, which puts me on high alert that she is about to have an OCD blow-up/anxiety attack. So I was checking in on her all night to make sure all was good. She was okay but just not sleeping, but she has seemed "off" since the weekend so I know something is coming and I need to be ever watchful of her. She has been on meds. for the past couple months prescribed by her pediatrician as a "hold in place" until we can get her on a regular medication protocol by a Psychiatric MD. We are finally getting closer to that appointment which is August 20th, which I am just living for. The medication she is on right now is really just a sedative to try to keep her in a calmer place, the goal is to get her on something that will deal with the actual OCD symptoms, which in turn will put her in a calmer place. We also do CBT therapy, this drug protocol was a last result this year after years of dealing with this. It's hard. She is such a wonderful, happy child when not troubled by these issues, I hate seeing her have to deal with all this. But I will say, I am handling of it it so much better since I decided I had to focus on me again as well. Being in control of my health, nutrition, and fitness makes me able to be a better parent for her.
08/01 - Weight = 156.1 (down .4 from yesterday) Closing in on my goal for the round, hope saying that doesn't jinx it! Yesterday was a pretty good day, ate well & under calories and was able to do my day 12 exercises, albeit a little gingerly, due the nagging lower back pain. Back pain is still there today, but improving. Today is a scheduled rest day on my 90 day challenge. My mind tells me that there are too many rest days on this plan and that I should do something anyway, but my body feels like it needs the rest, I have to reset my mind to trust the plan, there are improvements happening when you give your body time to recovery,
08/02 - Weight = 156.3 (up .2 from yesterday), playing this fun weight game again, up and down, up and down
Took my rest day yesterday and my back is much improved today, looking forward to getting my day 14 of 90 exercises done today and be at the halfway point for the 1st month of the challenge. Ate under calories yesterday, but sodium was a little higher than usual (still within macro range) and my water weight percentage was way up on my scale this morning when I weighed-in, may explain the 0.2 lb little uptick on the scale.
08/03 - Weight = 156.1 (down .2 from yesterday) Just bouncing around on the scale, hoping it drops to 155.something sooner than later! Yesterday was a bit of a mental struggle, the urge to sabotage by making poor eating choices was strong, but I resisted them all & made healthy choices. I completed my day 14 of 90 exercises and felt super sluggish through the whole workout. I need to really focus back more on my nutrition, my calories have been too low. I need to eat to fuel my workouts better. I know how to do this, just got a little lazy. Only 2 more days left in this round and it ends on a weekend, time to buckle down everyone, we can do this!
08/04 - Weight = 155.6 (down .5 from yesterday) Super late weigh-in this morning, but oh, did it feel good to sleep in! Hopefully this is a "real" number but won't know until Monday for sure as I'm definitely sleeping in tomorrow as well. My husband is working today and my daughter is heading to a friend's house for a sleepover, so I've got the day & probably most of the evening to myself. I completed day 15 of my 90 day challenge yesterday, and discovered I had been doing the exercises in the "advanced" mode not the "intermediate" mode that I had intended to. When I did the 30 day challenge everything was 1 minute per exercise x 3 rounds, it was challenging but I could do it and felt stronger after. The 90 day challenge is set up different: 2 rounds for beginners, 3 rounds for intermediate, & 4 rounds for advanced. I have been doing intermediate but feeling like I can't keep up, not feeling stronger, feeling discouraged. I went back and re-read the plan information and I was supposed to be adjusting the time as well: 30 secs each for beginner, 45 secs each for intermediate, & 1 min each for advanced. So I dropped yesterday's workout down to 45 seconds per move instead of the 1 minute and huge improvement. Challenging but I can do it better! Feeling more on track now, glad I didn't succumb to feeling discouraged and instead looked for a solution.
08/05 - Weight = 155.2 (down .4 from yesterday) Goal met! I lost 2.0 lbs this round Yesterday was a very good day, I went for a run and it was a rest day on my 90 day challenge, so that was a nice break. I went shopping in the afternoon and had fun and then a movie night with my husband. Very happy to see this number on the scale this morning even after enjoying a few adult beverages last night. Congrats to everyone who continued to show up for themselves here! See you in round 49... 8 -

Round 48: My sixth round
OSW: 186.6
RGW: 179.0
UGW: 130
R42 SW 186.6 EW 182 (-4.6) (Round goal achieved)

Round 48 goal: 177.6
Day/Weight/Comment
7/27: 178.8. I won’t lie, this was a late weigh-in, but I’m taking it. I’m still playing nutritional roulette. Why? I know how critical it is for me to get my weight down and my nutrition on point. I’m in my 50s and I can’t afford to keep eating like a 11-year-old let loose in a junk food store. Today, for example, I had a banana in the morning, nothing all day and then a jam sandwich, diet coke and a piece of chocolate that my son bought for me. I’m way low on calories, but not given my body one bit of nutrition. No point in whining though. I’ll just start over right now.
7/28: 178.4
7/29: 178.8. Super lazy weekend. Binge watched an entire two seasons of Queen of the South. I was so absorbed my accent changed to Southern and I could swear like a trooper in Spanish. Feels like I spent the weekend in Mexico and Texas. That being said, no exercise, no effort to eat well, so up we go!!
7/30: 178.8
7/31 178.4
8/01 179.8 It’s what happens when you eat half of a huge bag of Twizzlers and a bowl of chips. You know, I have to laugh at myself. I spend my life teaching my boys, who are now 20 and 21, the importance of the quality of food you put into your system. I drone on about balanced diets, the evils of excess sugar, the effects of food-like substances on energy levels and sleep patterns. Best part is, they’ve taken it all on board and eat well, exercise daily and have junk food in moderation. I am a great teacher – if only I was a better learner!!!
8/02 179.4 Think I’m going to have to be more consistent with my weigh in times. I’m all over the board and it’s frustrating. I ate way below calories yesterday and did almost 14,000 steps. Was hoping for a slightly bigger drop, but I’ll wait it out. Today is another day to do well.
8/03 178.2 It really does matter what time I weigh. Weighed at three different times, got three different weights. Took the middle ground even though I SO wanted to take the lowest one. @quiltingjaine, thanks for the encouragement and sorry if I’ve been whiny. I am aware that I’ve been whining lately and I need to change my state of mind. I am also determined to get this thing on track. It’s been six rounds and my loss has been painfully slow. Time to pull up my socks and start afresh!!!
8/05 178.4
8/06 178.0 Didn’t make goal but I’ll take a slight drop any day of the week.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/27- 195.0- Good start. Let's keep going! No more eating out. I'm going to plan out everything I'm going to eat tomorrow and follow through since I'm the one making food.
7/28- 194.8- I'm glad it's still going in the right direction. Still doing well. My grandparents are coming over tomorrow and staying for a week so I don't know how that's going to affect this but it shouldn't too much to be honest. We'll see. Still going to stay under.
7/29- 195.0- I drank water before this weigh-in on accident so maybe I'm the same as before? Lol can't be for sure.
7/30- No weigh in. Unfortunately, I didn't have access to my scale since my grandparents are in my room. I'll go take my scale and take it with me to the basement where I'm staying. I might update with a weigh-in later today but otherwise I will just do it tomorrow.
7/31- 193.7- Woohoo! Happy about this weigh-in. Make me feel like I can get to 191.0 by the end of the challenge. Also, I think this is an NSV because yesterday I was very tired and needed to study and wanted to get a coffee in order to stay up a little longer but I'm the type that can't drink coffee unless it has milk and has sugar in it so I knew that would add extra calories that I didn't need since I'd already hit my goal. I decided against it even though I was strongly considering it and even told my brother I'd get a coffee. So had no coffee! But might get one today since I have my exam tomorrow morning! Please wish me luck!
8/01- 193.8- Not bad since I didn't eat that great yesterday due to exam.
8/02- Unable to weigh in because I had to go to school and was rushed. We'll see tomorrow. Basically under my goal today and went to the gym. GUYS I MET MY GOAL OF RUNNING FOR 4 MINUTES STRAIGHT at 6.5 mph! Next going to get to 5 minutes straight!
It's fun to make progress. Makes you want to keep going to reach your next small goal. Kind of like weightloss too.
8/03- 194.7- lol what happened. I'm definitely feeling a little bloated so might have something to do with it. Not going to look too much into it. Hopefully it'll go back down by tomorrow. Not letting it discourage me. I did just get done with an intense workout and about to eat a healthy lunch so I think that's good that I'm not letting it get to me like I might have used to. Really hoping for a nice loss before the end of the challenge though. Hopefully it will work out.
8/04- 194.4
8/05- 194.2- I didn't do as well as I wanted during this round but still had a loss which I will take over nothing. The next round is important to me. I really want to get to 190. Let's see if I can do it. I was unable to not go out to eat. In fact I had to go multiple times. I'm really motivated for the next round.
Total Weight Loss for this Round: 1.17
