Round 50 (#14)
I typically don't set goals because I find myself sabotaging them. Stupid, I know, but it's true. This round I've decided to set one goal:Stop binge eating my trigger foods which are too numerous to list.#37: 142.6 - 137.4 = -5.2
#38: 137.4 - 136.8 = -0.6
#39: 136.8 - 136.2 = -0.6
#40: 136.2 - 135.0 = -1.2
#41: 135.0 - 133.6 = -1.4
#42: 133.6 - 134.2 = +0.6
#43: 134.2 - 133.4 = -0.8
#44: 133.4 - 132.4 = -1.0 Body fat 28.0% acceptable range
#45: 132.4 - 132.6 = +0.2
#46: 132.6 - 133.0 = +0.4
#47: 133.0 - 134.8 = +1.8
#48: 134.8 - 137.2 = +2.4
#49: 137.2 - 136.0 = -1.2
8/16: 136.0, 3rd consecutive day of late night binging. Dang, I’m exhausted! Living alone makes this too easy.
8/17: 134.8, yet again... no binging (yay)
8/18: 138.4 Thai for dinner.
8/19: 136.2
8/20: 139.0, restaurant breakfast = almost 1000 calories. Ridiculous.
8/21: 138.2, still not binging, but consumed too many calories.
8/22: 136.4, restaurant food hangover, be gone already. Geez
8/23: 135.6, better…
8/24: 137.6, al pastor street tacos and beer are not helping
8/25: 135.4, 1st half of a 24 hour fast. I find this helpful when I’m having trouble with mindless eating.
I prefer to split my fast over 2 days. Nothing after lunch on day 1 then nothing until lunch on day 2. Drinking coffee, tea, water, and seltzer are acceptable since each of these have almost no calories.
Ended with a loss.
The most important part of this round for me was no binging. While I had plenty of "ups" due to restaurant food (such is the nature of dating and socializing), my eating was much better in terms of quality and quantity. Definitely a win. 14 -

Goal Weight July 2019 - 140
8/16 - 182.6 - Fairly healthy day yesterday. Jonah requested burgers for supper so had cucumber slices and Pringles with it instead of fries.
8/17 - 182.4 - Good day again yesterday. Sure missing my walks because of the smoke in the air.
8/18 - 183.0 - well I wish we could just forget yesterday happened, but there is no honesty and accountability in that. I overate yesterday and made poor choices all day. I was tired from a sleepless night and craved so much junk. Even as I ordered both lunch and supper I was arguing with myself. Then I couldn’t force myself to exercise much even after paying to go swim. Oh well, today is a new day and I’m rested, lots to do today so that should help burn some off.
8/19 - 183.0 much better day yesterday, it will still be two or three days before I see the end of Friday’s debacle though.
8/20 - 184.0 Leftover from Friday, yesterday was pretty good.
8/21- The scale was teasing me this morning, the first time I stepped on it said 177! I thought this can't be right and stepped on again. It was 184.0, then again it was 183.2. So I'm not really sure what to put, maybe it needs new batteries? Had a fairly healthy day yesterday at least.
8/22 - 183.6 - This is not moving in the right direction this round at all! Have to be good for the next couple of days.
8/23 - 183.2 - had a very high calorie lunch yesterday but was able to turn it around and ended up in the green.
8/24 - 183.4 - I am struggling with wanting all the bad choices this week. Managing to get into the green each day, but high carbs linger on the scale for me for a few days.
8/25 - 183.0 - well that wasn’t the best, but could have been worse. See you next round14 -

About me: 61, 5'7", in maintenance since March this year. Serial loser and regainer of 20 and determined not to slide back up this time.
Round 49 report = Start = 126.4 * Ave = 127.4 * Min = 125.6 * Max = 129.2 < and that was scary.
Round 50 GOAL = Maintain weight edging back down from the high part of my zone by getting workouts back in the mix.
8/16 - 127.0 - Yesterday under maintenance calories, clear enough after work to run; so I settled for am introductory 2 miles, then discovered I had the wrong key and ran 1.5 more.
8/17 - 128.4 - Yesterday not a day of power.
8/18 - 128.0
8/19 - 128.8
8/20 - 127.6 - I keep missing days, both here and in logging. I am lucky I have not gained more. Smoke in the valley is significant, headache pain, fighting with a new pillow that's increased neck and shoulder pain. Too beat up for self-care, that's the conundrum. Back at it today. Yesterday made myself do a large canning project in spite of migraine. Garden waits for no one. So at least I was on my feet and active much of the day.
8/21 - 128.4 - Logged yesterday, slightly over maintenance calories, worked standing up all day yesterday (standing workstation helps with head-neck-shoulder pain), and got a small workout yesterday on elliptical. Calf really tight when running, but didn't go into spasms.
8/22 - 129.8 - NOPE NOPE NOPE. Okay, this is how close I had to get to the top of my maintenance range (130!!) before calling a halt. Somehow in the morning, using discretion about food seems like a good idea, but I have definitely been self-medicating for stress, neck and shoulder pain, anxiety, or sleeplessness (take your pick, excuse of the day) with food. Problem is: IT. DOESN'T. WORK. So far today, healthier choices.
8/23 - 127.8 - under maintenance calories, over 10K steps, took a walk with some running at the end, calf still tight but working with it. This is what maintenance is, what a couple of friends once told me: we see that number coming and we return to more diligent care. It will take a little time before I really feel like it's "reined in" but I do feel better today.
8/24 - 127.4 - at maintenance calories, 8K steps but some calf pain. Busy work days coming for the next week and more. Stayed up too late with some old, old emotional rollers. Healing is a life long thing, and I am up for it: what else do I have to do?
8/25 - 127.2 - yesterday a bit over maintenance calories, due to having an unnecessary sugary treat before I WENT TO BED AT 6:45 PM. Slept 12 hours. Needed that. Now off to work a half day or so.

8/16 180.8 Close to a new decade! My workout buddy is back from her camping trip so the day has begun with a workout.
8/17 181.8 No idea why, did my work out, exceeded my step goal and was on target with calories. I am tired and grumpy today so will have to be on my guard re emotional eating.
8/18 180.4 I did eat a chocolate bar yesterday, but only one. I ate it slowly and enjoyed every bit and I stayed within my calories so yay me! In the past I ate chocolate bars the way other people smoked cigarettes, one before work, one at break, one before lunch, one or two after lunch etc etc, 7 or more in a day. So one and done is great.
8/19 181.8 mea culpa - did fine most of the day, but fell back into old habits in the evening mindessly grabbing a handful of this or that whenever the opportunity arose. Woke up with a cold this morning - so I am going to have a quiet day. Somehow knowing that there is a reason why I feel like carp makes it easier to stay on track.
8/20 183.6
- pride goeth before a fall
8/21 184.4 What the hey! I was on track yesterday, logged everything, stayed under calories, got all my steps. Well quitting won't help so I guess I'll soldier on.
8/22 182.0 Whew! Thanks for all the hugs yesterday - love this thread. Now to get to work to see if I can actually end this round with a loss.
8/23 181.6
8/24 181.4 Late getting online today - went for fasting blood work this morning. Long wait at the lab and sooo hungry by the end. Starbucks bran muffin and an oz of almonds for my very late breakfast.
8/25 181.8 +0.6 for the round - not what I had hoped for, but not a disaster. Off to round 51.12 -
Round 47- SW 175 EW 170 (-5lbs)
Round 48- SW 170 EW 166 (-4lbs)
Round 49- SW 167 EW 165 (-2lbs)
Round 50 (my 4th round)
8/16 165 no changes for the last 6 days, but I also had really good success my first couple of rounds so I'm staying positive :)
8/17 165 I am visiting my family this weekend, hopefully I won't gain. Will not be able to weigh in for the next 2 days.
8/18 Away, not able to weigh. Went over my calorie goal yesterday, I probably will today also. Cookout day, plan to have 1 burger and dessert. No sodas, unless diet.
8/19 Still not able to weigh. Yesterday did not go as planned. Had little over half my burger, 1 hotdog without the bun, and 3 desserts, along with a couple beverages late last night. Got sick from 2 drinks. Not near enough water yesterday either. On a positive note, everyone was talking about how good I looked and now much weight I had lost. So that was nice that the results are starting to show to everyone else also.
8/20 164 Awesome. I'm so happy that I didn't gain from the weekend 😊.
8/21 164 Have 2 birthday celebrations this week- one is today. I plan to get a good workout in.
8/22 164 glad I maintained after that big piece of chocolate cake lol. I asked for a small piece. Wasnt so small. Was homemade, so I just had to eat it all
.
8/23 - 163 yayy! I have noticed a huge change in my body since I've started MFP, even though it's only been a short amount of time (on July 18th, this yr). I can't eat or drink things I used to have no problems with, without consequences. My tummy hurt most of the day yesterday, and I know it was from chocolate cake the day before. Same with the beverages I had this past weekend, they really hurt my stomach. I guess it's a good thing though because it's a reminder that I need to keep eating healthy.
8/24 163 my scale plays tricks on me, was 161 a couple of times and jumped back to 163. Who knows lol maybe I'll be down a pound by tomorrow. Happy with the progress either way 😊
8/25 163 bring on round 51!

UGW 125
8/16 166.8 apparently my body likes this number lol. Ate 1200 calories last night ...right on the dot, never done that before. 80 min insanity and 2 liters of water. Overall a great day, no complaints. It has been two weeks since I last took my measurments so today I will have to do that
8/17 165.4 ate below my calorie goal but had a rest day with my exercise routine but did go on extra walks and did some HITT exercises for the first time. Drank 1 liter of water. Good day all in all.
8/18 164.8 my body is weird. I haven't seen a daily drop like this since my first round. Although I'm slightly skeptical because it happened so fast I'm still happy to see this number, even if it ends up being just for today. Ate under calories, exercised for an hour and drank 1 liter of water. I also took my measurment yesterday and in the past two weeks I lost an inch (everhwere). Not bad if I do say so myself. In-laws are coming for dinner tonight and although I will work hard to watch my portions, we will just have to see. *crosses fingers*
8/19-- 166.6. Last night I had a dinner party with the in laws at my place and although I stuck to my portions, ate tons of veggies and fruit for desert (plus exercised all morning before beginning the house cleaning and exercised after they had left) as the night wore on, the temptation of the food put out for the late night snacking took over. I ended up eating some cookies and after they had left potatoe pancakes (I blame my hubby for having the munchies) it's ok though. I am not as dissapoined as I thought I would be, probably because this wasn't necessarily a sabotage, just a moment of weakness and being up later than usual. I have no doubt it will come off in no time (hopefully faster then the other times I gained) 1 liter of water. Here is to a better day!!
8/20-- 165.4 ate well and exercised good. My body has been sore all weekend. It's started with my lower abs and yesterday my arms and calves, haven't felt this sore since I started working out. I was thinking of taking a day off but I am not crazy about the idea, so will probably do yoga and stretching. 1 liter of water. Have a great week everyone
8/21-- 164.8 wasn't hungry yesterday and exercised a lot. I was in a work out mood. Walked a lot, got 80 min of insanity in and even did some HITT exercises. I even had a weird energy boost at 12 30 am and worked out till 2. The only downside is I didn't get very much sleep. Hopefully I can just go to bed early tonight and feel better rested tomorrow. 1.2 liters of water. Hope everyone has a great day.
8/22 165.2 I ate within my calories but my carbs and salt in take was higher then usual. I was craving bread, which hasn't happened in a long time. I had a rest day from my usual work outs as well. Just took it easy. I'm not worried, I know it will go down by tomorrow. I'm proud of myself because I made two large homemade pizzas for the family and wasn't tempted. I stuck to my salad lol. 1 liter of water. I know I have said this countless of times but I am going to really start focussing on drinking more. No more excuses!!
8/23 164.8 ate within my caloriea, worked out and drank 1.6 liters of water. I do hope I meet my goal but we will see. My insanity program turned into a core and balance program for the week, which means I am not doing as much cardio as usual, I also started some endurance exercises (push ups, planks, ab exercises...the works) so I think it might effect the pace of my loss. I am keeping positive though.
8/24 163.8 wasn't expecting this. Exercised for 90 mins on endurance challenges. Drank 1.5 liters but had another day where I wasn't too hungry. Didn't expect to meet my goal but if this sticks I will have made it. Slept good so today I am well rested. Hopefully the next ten days won't see this much yo yoing.
8/25 163.6 I'm happy I hit my goal. Didn't get usual exercise in but I did walk th majority of my day yesterday, ate within my goals (even had a lettuce wrapped home made burger... yummm) and a little over 1 liter of water.
It's funny how you can go from a "he'll no" with working out to "I can't go a day without my full routine"
Reflections: I noticed two trends 1) I feel terrible, sluggish, lethargic and moody when I don't work out (almost like a failure feeling) 2) I don't know how I use to live normally and happy without my workout.
I am showing signs of being more confident and motivated, a big difference from almost two months ago when I was so embaressed by my weight that I would cancel on outings. I'm looking forward to the next 10 days, hoping to do even better than this set of ten days.
My improvement goals: I noticed 3 days of rest these past 10 days, I want to change it to 2 days (one rest day a week)
See you all for round 5114 -
Female, 44 yo, 169 cm
R50 (second round for me:)
R49 results: starting 63.2kg, end 61.7 kg (-1.5 kg)
Target for this round is to go below 60 kg...59.9 would be an absolutely great result
Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 - 61.3 kg, yesterday had a very disciplined day after seing the morning weight slight increase. Low carb diet respected, 1 hour of yoga and no food after 18:00. Today I have a party , hope to keep drinks under control, We will see tomorrow morning the damages.
8/17 - 61.6 kg, small gain that is no surprise considering the 2 large beers that I have yesterday. I am happy there is no significant damage, back on track today & no party plans
8/18 - 61.1 kg, clean eating, no food after 18:00 and unfortunately no sport as my class was canceled.
8/19 - 60.7 kg, clean eating, low carb, yoga done and no food after 18:00. Had however a glass of white wine and I am happy that I didn't see it in the scale
8/20 - 60.8 kg, relatively clean eating but snacking too much, this is my challenge during the weekend, take few nuts, a cube of parmesan, again few nuts and didn't resist to a dry martini in the evening. So while I kept it under 20 carbs I think that I pushed a little bit on the calories side. On the positive side I have done my circuit class and started at home some arm exercises that I plan to do daily on top of the gym. Hoping to see my hidden muscles:)
8/21 - 61.4 kg, totally unexpected. I had a clean day , 21 carbs, 1100 cal and 3 liters of water + 1 class of TRX. I do not really understand what went wrong. I even was full of energy and cleaned my kitchen till 10 pm (my 14 yo son loves to cook and experiments in the kitchen but I need at least 1 hour of deep cleaning after he prepares something). I think that I was on the extreme side of energy as I was not able to sleep till 1 am and even after that I can remember that I moved from one side to another all night and now of course I can barely keep my eyes open. Hope tomorrow is a better day!
8/22 - 61 kg, this is annoying somehow but that's life. Clean day yesterday, low carb, stop eating around 17:30, played tennis for 1 hour, drunk all my water. Still 3 days to go, feeling that my goal is still achievable
8/23- 60.6 kg, yoga, low carb, stop eating @17:00. Now I just need to stay strong
8/24 - 60.3 kg, question is I will make it to my target or not??? I am tempted to eat nothing just to see the scale under 60. For yesterday, low carb, stop eating at 17:00, circuit class and 2 liters of water in, good girl.
8/25- 59.8 kg...uhuuuu, 4 years later I am finally on the 50's range. this is great day for me, I would relax today, and from tomorrow starting again:)11 -

8/16 150
8/17 149.5 Yippie skippy, my migraine is gone, finally. The smoke from the fires in BC is going away from the coast and they took my headache with them. I can’t imagine how horrible it is for all the folks living in smoke for weeks. 3 days just about did me in.
8/18 149.5
8/19 149.5 yippie! Two weeks of zero movement so I went down 200 cals. a day and finally seeing progress again. It doesn’t make sense cico but I am happy to see that darn scale move. I really was wondering if it was just stuck!
8/20 148.5 Smoke is really bad today
8/21 148 The the smoke is bad again today so outside activity is out for me. Tomorrow I will check out the gym if the smoke is still bad. The 200 calorie drop seems to have jog my body enough to start loosing again. It could be just fluke though, lol.
8/22 147.5 This drop is faster than I want so I will go up 100 calories. I am getting better sleep, using a tiny bit of melatonin. Plus I finally got some kombucha made after letting that slide for months so maybe that has helped with the bloat. The smoke is still too thick so it is indoor body exercise only for me.
8/23 148.5 well so much for going up 100 calories, I kind gave myself and inch and took a mile, sheesh, brandy, cheese and nuts as a snack with dh last night put me way over!
8/24 148 I am going to go to the pool this morning. I haven’t be motivated to go all summer. There are just too many interesting things to do outside in summer but it will be good for to get in the water and move so off I go!
8/25 147.5
Wishing each of you a day in wish you are in control and filled with joy!13 -

8/16 / 248.8 / Rolled back into my town last night. The drive from Alaska was wonderful, but obviously a lot of sitting on my kiester. I did eat to plan about 70% of the time. I figure these 3.4 pounds should come off pretty easily, and then it will be back to the grind.

Round 50
Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 — 138.2 — Got sick with what I think was food poisoning last night, still not at 100%. Scale will probably go back up tomorrow when I feel like I can eat again 🤢
8/17 — 138.8 — I was able to eat again yesterday, and actually ended up getting chipotle last night. I’ve been doiong so well eating at home and not out, so was bummed I gave into temptation. However, after after the night I had before I gave myself a pass. Back to being hydrated and I’m shocked the scale didn’t go up more than it did. Pretty happy overall. 😊
8/18 — 138.4 — I really tried to focus on drinking tons of water today. Stayed under my calories for the day, but generally had a lazy day at home. 🙃
8/19 — 138.8 — Kept my calories in my normal range yesterday, going out to lunch and to a concert today so will try my hardest to make good decisions while I’m out.. 😬 wish me luck, haha. On a side note: I am loving this challenge, it makes it easy and fun to keep myself accountable. Thank you 🙏🏼 to the person who thought of this great idea💡!
8/20 — No weigh in — I did okay yesterday besides having 4 glasses of wine through the day and night. Feel bloated today, but didn’t go too over my calorie limits. Today was my first day back to school so I completely forgot to weigh myself since the schedule change!
8/21 — 138.6 — Focusing I’m staying under calories and drinking tons of water, plenty of time to reach my goal of 138 by the 25th! Staying positive ☺️
8/22 — 139.0 — I ate within my calories so not sure where the extra weight is coming from, feel alittle bloated so might be TOM coming up and fluid retention. We shall see! 🤪
8/23 — 138.0 — I have hit my goal for this round! Now to just keep it there and keep it going down.. yesterday I had school again and actually went over my calories by 100. Cravings were in full gear, but I managed to keep them in check mostly..😋
8/24 — 138.0 — Woke up super early today so not my usual weigh in time but happy I am holding steady!
8/25 — 138.0 — Well my kid started kindergarten this past week and is already sick! Now I am sick🤧! So I feel like my head weighs a ton right now, and totally expected the scale to go up even though I stayed within my calorie limits.. so so happy it didn’t. I’m shocked I finished the 10 days exactly on my goal, super pumped up to start the next one. You guys rock.. Feel free to add me! 👋🏻12 -
@birdiebon I’m a quilter who does not like to quilt! I’m more of a piece with a large collection of tops. LOL A friend has a long arm and I may try that but I find quilting on my sewing machine very stressful.
@tiabirdie56 A craft store like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby should have spray for coloring white flowers the colors you want.
@SheilaBoneham At the time I was down 58#. I would have needed a wagon too!
@Bendiz_ When I started going to the gym in 2008, my DH didn’t expect me to go back for the visit with the trainer. I went from no exercise to 3 times a week and DH said he never expected me to become a gym rat! I wish I had kept it up when we hit a financial rough patch in 2012 but depression won and I have never gotten back. I’m so proud of you!!
Thank you all for your well wishes for our trip.3 -

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
8/16 133.5 Soooo, the cat woke me at 4AM because he thought that was a good time for breakfast. I didn’t so was going to put him in his carrier. When I pivoted, the toe of my shoe caught in the grout line and we went down. I hit my ribs on the refrigerator and skinned one knee. Pretty sure I’m going to have a bruise but currently sitting with a well wrapped ice pack on my side. I don’t think anything is broken. I think Oskar is going to be restricted at night to the sewing room and bathroom in the future. (Master suite)
8/17 133.5 I slept in the recliner last night and got over 8 hours in spite of my sore ribs and ice pack. At lunch I ate French fries. They were perfectly cooked - crispy! I ate about 1/3 and gave the rest to Carl. I’m still in nutritional ketosis this morning so that’s good. We’ll see what the scale thinks tomorrow or Sunday!
8/18 136.0 (!) That’s what carbs do! I was hurting yesterday from my fall and ate 1/2 a pita with my Greek salad w/ gyro meat. The price I pay for 2 high carb days!
8/19 135.0 Some of my lady friends are coming over to eat, drink, and sew. I wish I felt better. My ribs are better but getting anything accomplished is exhausting. We were out last night, I went to bed late and woke early. DD#2 is going to cut my hair. She is a school teacher but gives better haircuts than the salons I have visited.
8/20 134.5 Two of my friends came over yesterday. We enjoyed good conversation, Keto snacks and adult beverages. Vodka/soda
8/21 135.5 Picked up roasted chilies and ate at one of our fave restaurants last night. Sure there were carbs in that green chili but it was so good! I was in agony by the time we got the chilies in the freezer but feel much better this morning. Back on the heating pad.
8/22 135.5 I am uncomfortably bloated. I think a result of too many cruciferous veggies in the last few days. UGH!
8/23 134.5 I could see the bloat leaving yesterday. It was weird. I’ve never experienced that before!
8/24 133.5 (134.6 9 day avg) Leaving for the airport in about 40 minutes. I’m not counting on having a scale for the next 15 days. I’ll be keeping notes and post, at least a “hello,” when I can.
8/25 No scale in hotel room. Got 139% of my step goal. Ketones 1.8
By the time I went to breakfast I had had 2 cups of coffee. Ate some scrambled eggs and sausage and more coffee. Now feeling BLAH! I am not an early breakfast person.10 -
