Female, 33yo 5'3

Starting weight on Monday (9/24) 177LBS

9/25- 175.4 Hit the gym and lifted weights, kept cals. in check for the day, feeling good!

9/26 -174.6 Hit the gym again for cardio trying to make it a habit so I went Mon, Tues and Wed so far this week. Will be going tomorrow as well for weight training.

9/27- 174.2 Hit the gym again this morning (4am), weight training and intervals on the treadmill. Eating went well again yesterday stayed the course. I need some rest, so no gym tomorrow morning. I will make an effort to get up and move while at work though. 

9/28- 173.2 No gym truly needed the rest after 4 consecutive days, will walk for 30mins at lunch today. Also, will be back at the gym tomorrow for weight training/cardio. Feeling pretty good, but the weekend scares me as that's where I usually fall off. My goal for this weekend is to at least maintain this current weight till Monday.

9/29- 173.2 Made it to the gym for weight training and cardio first thing this morning, unfortunately I don't have a plan for eating but I may do grocery shopping today for some healthy options. My goal is to at least maintain 173.2lb until Monday

9/30- 173.2 Not sure how I managed to be 173.2 again especially considering I haven't made the best food choices this weekend, but I'll take it. No gym or treadmill today, to much to do, but I will be at it in the morning. Really hoping I have maintained at least 173.2 on Monday morning weigh-in.

10/1- 173.2 I made it 173.2 again today probably because I didn't pay much attention to macros this weekend pretty much ate at maintenance or a little above. I am happy with this because I had been on a cycle of gaining tons of water weight (probably fat also) during the weekends, then working it off on the weekday. At least now I don't have to feel like I'm starting over. No gym today still a bit soar decided to just get rest will be at tomorrow morning for weight training/cardio. Goal today is at least 10K steps.

10/2- 173.2 So, I guess I'm stuck now, yesterday went well until the evening when I decided to eat 2 chocolate covered granola bars (kids snacks). Maybe that's why the scale didn't move down, but I won't be discouraged. I went to the gym this morning for weights/cardio, I plan to do my best to make it there tomorrow for an hour of cardio as well. I have to get the evenings back in check, I did pretty well last week with avoiding the late night snacking.

10/3- 171.2 Woosh effect, maybe? Feeling good with that number controlled my late night snacking habit yesterday or really was just to tired to eat. No gym this am, I was sleepy. Weight training/cardio for sure tomorrow though.

***My goal is to be at least 165 by my b-day 10/30

In for my 11th Round!

Round 44 End Weight = 165.8 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 45 End Weight = 164.9 (0.9 lbs lost)
Round 46 End Weight = 159.6 (5.2 lbs lost)

Round 52 End Weight = 143.7 (2.5 lbs lost)
Round 53 End Weight = 143.1 (0.6 lbs lost)

Stats = 5'4 female, age 48
Highest Weight = 172 lbs (June 18, 2018)
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)

Round 54 Goal: Range of 139.9-142.0 (Either my weigh-loss is really slowing down and I need a more reasonable goal OR I am due for a big loss after the last round and a more aggressive goal is possible)

Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in weeks 10-11), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/day
Nutrition Plan = Continue to limit gluten, dairy, sugar, diet soda, alcohol & eat non-processed foods, protein/fruit/veg at every meal, complex carbs at breakfast and post workout meal, drink plenty of water.

9/25 = 143.7 (up .6 from yesterday) Little bounce back up, went out to dinner last night, made good choices, most likely under calories but retaining water. My scale still has my water percentage up over 2% from it's normal number. Yesterday was a rest day in my 90 day challenge, but back at it today with day 64 of 90. Plus lots and lots of lemon & cucumber water today. I'm looking for a whoosh to be coming this week! Welcome to all out new group members!

9/26 = 142.9 (down .8 from yesterday) Small drop down from my Sunday weight. If the water percentage on my scale is correct, I'm still retaining water though. Yesterday I really didn't eat much, wasn't very hungry until it was too late at night. I do 16:8 so once the window closes, I'm done for the night. I completed day 64 of 90 workout yesterday and it was the hardest one yet. It really got me! Today is day 65 of 90, I haven't looked at it yet to see what it is, but I imagine it will be a tough one as well!

9/27 = 142.0 (down .9 from yesterday) Very challenging day yesterday. I've mentioned before my daughter has mental health issues (how I dealt with this stress was the cause of my weight gain) and yesterday was one of those days. She goes long periods of time with everything being relatively "normal' but really the anxiety is building underneath and waiting to explode. Yesterday was an explosion. I did not get my workout in due to this BUT I handled the stressful situation much better than in the past & did NOT stress eat & did NOT self-medicate with wine. Calling it a difficult but successful day. We saw her therapist last night, adjusted her medication & she is in much better spirits this morning. Today, I have a very busy day at work, my boss is going out of the country for 2 weeks so lots to get done before he goes and this evening I am hosting a party with some ladies from my social club. I've got a couple hors d'oeuvres to prep for the party and really want a mani/pedi, not enough hours in the day. BUT, I've got to make time for some self-care today and the best thing for me is to get out & go for a run and do some yoga. In the past I sacrificed myself and my needs to focus 100% on my daughter but I know now I have to take care of myself so that I am able to be there in the best possible way for her. "You can't pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first."

9/28 = 141.5 (down .5 from yesterday) Besides one mishap yesterday was a very good day. My daughter's teacher reported in that she had one of her best days since school started this year. Such good news I got everything pressing at work accomplished, went for a run, did day 67 of 90 workout, got my party food made and still had time for a mani/pedi. I had a great time at the party until it was time to go and walking to my car, I rolled my ankle in a divot in the grass that I couldn't see in the dark. I am in a fairly strong amount of pain this morning and cannot bear any weight on my right foot. My husband wanted me to go to the Dr this morning but I'm going to give it a day and do R.I.C.E. all day and see if the pain subsides at all. I'm trying to stay positive, hoping this will pass quickly and I can get back to my workouts. But if I am down for a bit for this to heal & have to pause my 90 day challenge then I will find a back-up plan that does not involve weight bearing but will still keep me moving forward in my fitness goals. "Just because you are hurt, doesn't mean you are broken."

9/29 = No Weigh in. Much improvement in my foot injury but still very painful and can't bear weight fully. I have to have a brace on my foot to bear any weight at all. So won't be weighing in until I can stand without that. I've being using an Arnica cream since Friday on my foot and added in Arnica tablets as well today, hope these help I found a woman on YouTube that has a series of workout videos for people who have an injured foot and did one today. I don't think these will burn really any calories but at least will hopefully keep me in the correct mindset. I think tomorrow I'll do a Pilates mat workout.

9/30 = No Weigh in, still in brace. Thank you for all the well wishes & hugs, the support on this board is the best! Foot pain is still the same as yesterday. I rested pretty much all day to stay off my foot but that kind of got me in a funk...wallowed in a little self pity & felt a little weepy all day. But I stayed on track with my calories and did a 20 minute Pilates mat workout (no weight bearing involved). Hopefully, I will bounce back tomorrow mood wise.

10/1 = No Weigh in

10/2 = No Weigh in

10/3 = 142.9 (up 1.4 from last weigh-in) I'm still here, still in a brace, but in less pain I can fully bear weigh now without the brace on, although gingerly. I'm going to continue to wear it and still rest as much as possible to help the healing process. While, I can bear weight, if I twist or turn the ankle I get a sharp pain, so I still need to keep it stabilized. Since injuring my foot, have only been partially logging my calories and know I have been over on a few days this past week, but happy to say I have NOT gone on a stress eating binge...even though I felt the urge to do it! I am going to try some gentle yoga today and see how it feels, will stop if any pain. Tonight, I have a get together at a friend's house and then tomorrow my husband & I are celebrating our15th wedding anniversary and going out to dinner. I will be mindful of my eating at both but likely will be over calories. I will be back to 100% logging and being under calories in Round 55. And hopefully at some point next week, can start back up on my 90 Day Challenge workouts, even if I have to do a lot of modifications to lessen the intensity.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 DNW Holy Moley, I had to leave super early for a work issue and didn't weigh, definitely subconsciously skipped the weigh in on purpose since I ate over 2000 calories yesterday, full disclosure. We will see what tomorrow looks like!
9/26 150.8 Second day of eating whatever, it was my daughter's birthday and I made quite the spread. Broke my no second's rule, indulged in warm fresh birthday donuts for dessert...plan for today through end of round is low carb. We are celebrating again on Friday with 40+ people and she requested a Southern menu, any recipes out there for brisket? I have never made it.
9/27 150.2 Good day eating, low carb higher protein, walked the hill, same plan for today. Thank you everyone for the support, and welcome to all the new people! It's a great, supportive group!
9/28 149.4 Still feeling the bloat and general discomfort of the 2 days of eating without tracking, but yesterday was good. Tonight 40+ people at my house for my daughter's birthday, Brisket, Ribs, Mac and Cheese, Green Beans, Cornbread, Salad, and her favorite Napoleon for dessert on the menu per her request. Not my normal cooking style, but it's looking tasty. Salad for me, I plan on front loading my lean protein before the function so I can just cook/mingle/hold babies and not eat! Countdown 1 week to Maui!
9/29 DNW and did not track :-(
9/30 151 Going backwards this round, I have lost focus. NSV's though I have been walking our hill 7 days a week (this is a 3 mile loop, about 40 stories according to my fitbit) It is easy for me now 2 months in, and finally getting easier for my hunny who started a month ago. Hoping to add a second loop when we get back from Maui. Back on track today (Sunday), putting the past behind me and moving forward. Too many goodies in the house and I did not resist. I threw it all away and the house is safe again. Whew.
10/1 WEIGH IN DAY 149.2 At least I am back below 150, but I still have some work to do. I started logging my food on Fitbit instead of MFP and am going to use the fitbit calorie goals instead for the rest of this round, they adjust according to my activity. Same end result I am seeking but new method, trying to keep focus. Maui in 4 days! Can't wait to eat fish!!
10/2 149.8 Looks like a maintenance round, focused on dropping to at least 149 again by end of round. Maui in 3 days- stay away from carbs til Friday!! Plan while I'm there is to fully enjoy it but that does not mean eating crazy. Plus is we have a condo, and will stop at Safeway for some stuff. Plan on fully taking advantage of the fresh fish for every dinner!

10/3 149.6 Focusing on hydration today as I feel a slight headache coming, my skin looks dry, and I was thirsty overnight. Ate well yesterday, but have been eating protein bars again (>_<) These are definitely a weird trigger food for me. I MUST STOP BUYING THEM. NSV My honey walked the hill without stopping! He usually redlines a couple of times and has to stop, but a month in and he did it straight! So happy to be on the same page with him. 2 more days until Maui!! We so need this, we have a 16yo homeschooled son and a 23yo special needs son, as well as a business that takes a lot of energy. My DH and I spend a lot of time together, but it's just regular time, if that makes sense. Not one-on-one couple time, so we are super excited to be able to be "honeymooners"!!!

Round 54 (My 8th Round)
9/25 156 I did great on all my macros until the late night craving hit me. I was a couple hundred calories under after dinner so it just ended up balancing out after I ate what I was craving. Just wish it didn't hit me so late. On a brighter note, loved the fall like weather yesterday morning! It was beautiful out. Can't wait until it stays like that for a while, and the trees start turning. The park I go to to walk is so beautiful, especially when the leaves start turning 😊.
9/26 155 yayy I am so excited. 10 pounds away from a normal BMI. I am beyond proud of myself. Yesterday was also a light day so I know that's contributed to part of this loss but I'm still taking credit for all the hard work.
9/27 155 soo happy that the scales were correct yesterday. I was speaking to someone yesterday who was complimenting me and asking how much weight I had lost, and my Husband overheard me tell them I still wanted to lose more. He doesn't want me to lose any more lol but I told him that I loved him, but I am doing this for me and I want to be happy with my body, and healthy.
That is really what matters in this whole thing, do this for "you". Being an inspiration to my family is a plus also, because I want them healthy as well.
9/28 155 Ate junk half the day yesterday so my macros were high. Stayed under my goal but I did use some exercise calories. I decided I'm going to walk at least 2 miles/day a few times a week, on top of my daily exercises. Would like to work my way up to jogging/running but it's hard to do right now because I always have my 5 month old with me. Maybe Santa will bring me an Elliptical for Christmas this year 😊.
9/29 155 was well under my calorie goal yesterday but I feel like my body has been retaining water. I have been drinking lots of water, at least trying to. Higher on the sodium end though the past 2 days, and I've had hot sauce the past 2 days at dinner. I sure hope I don't have to give up my love for hot sauce . Will be drinking cucumber water today, hopefully that'll help.
9/30 154 Excellent way to end September, with another pound lost 😊 and my round goal met. Great day yesterday. Had around a gallon of water, most of it being cucumber water. I could tell it really made a difference as I was relieving water all day yesterday. I made a fresh pineapple strawberry smoothie for dinner. I need to do that more often, I think light dinners really help. It's also easier to do when Hubby isn't around, he has been in graveyard shift all weekend.
10/1 154 I'll be content if I stay here this round . I am thanking God every day for allowing me to get my health in control, even though I am still a working progress. Yesterday I went over on my total fat, like a good bit over. Not too worried about it though because I didn't eat bad, I added almonds into my diet and I had peanut butter in my oatmeal as well.
10/2 154 Didn't eat the greatest yesterday, my husband brought me home a chicken biscuit. Had cubed steak and gravy for dinner and also had 2 mini cupcakes for dessert. BUT on a positive note, I walked 2 miles yesterday morning, did zumba in the evening and I added a new 5 minute squat routine . Going to make better food choices today. Still humble .
10/3 153.5 sooo happy! 😊 I think adding in 2 miles of walking a few times a week, along with my daily exercises is really paying off.

9/26 - Just found this thread so didn't weigh this morning. Today is day 1. Must make good food choices and run tonight
9/27 - 163.6 Ate ok yesterday and went for the first run on my Half Marathon training plan. Only 3km but it was tough. Need to cut down the snacking at work.
9/28 - 163.9 Was happy the number stayed the same as I would up eating chinese food for lunch (my boss asked me to come to lunch with them and I couldn't say no). Did my run last night... late but I got it in. Today is going to be bad. I woke up starving, have another lunch meeting today and hubs wants to have dinner together tonight because he's not around Saturday
9/29 - 165.2 Yup. I deserved that. Yesterday was not good. I'm hoping it's at least some water thought. Salty foods too days in a row and TOM coming up.
9/30 - 165.2
10/1 - Didn't weigh in morning. TOM should be today or tomorrow so am full of water right now
10/2 - 166.8
10/3 - 164 Ate better yesterday (still not great, and missed my run). Hopefully this time the number on the scales stays down

9/28, 221, I'm really not sure how I'm losing weight. I average 1500 calories a day and almost always go over my calorie goal. I have switched to healthier calories though. Frozen grapes and dark chocolate are my main desserts. I'm using half the amount of dressing that I usually use on salads. I've been having salads for lunch. I also try to walk a mile while at work. I'm also saving money now that I'm eating out less. It doesn't seem like much so I'm surprised at the difference it's made. Losing weight is usually so much harder than this, it doesn't feel real at all. At this rate I might reach onederland by January!!! That would be so amazing, just gotta keep working at it.
9/29, 221
9/30, Out of town, didn't weigh.
10/1, 220.5, Traveled over the weekend and ate so much. Not sure how this is possible.
10/2, 221, Eating out is catching up with me. Gotta avoid the pizza and the jalepeno cheetos. Doing my best not to eat my feelings to day.
10/3, 220, Rallied and stayed under my calorie goal yesterday.
