Day/Weight/Comment:
10/05 - 257.2 - Starting round #55, 1 lb up. This is sooooo why I need something like this for accountability. I used a visit from friends as a reason to just "wing it". I really have to stay on board for the loss to happen.
10/06 - 257.2 - no change. Heavy dinner will do that to ya. I need to make time for my own meal prep!

Goal: whatever these 10 days bring!

Happy so far .. I’ll stick with no specific goal for the round. I’d like to be 160 generally, but my ultimate stretch goal is 150

10/05 - 195
10/06 - 194 - my scale may have been pulling tricks on me, kept flickering but let’s see! I didn’t eat enough yesterday though.. trying to substitute all bad foods except for one treat each day. Seems to be working for now. Can’t eliminate all at once!

Round 55
10/05 153

I had spaghetti for the first time in months last night. I have been avoiding pasta. I am beginning to realize that I can have things I want, in moderation. As long as I eat well most of the time, and control my portions, then I will continue to have great progress.
10/06 153 I failed to mention yesterday that I tried a new workout Thursday. I am still sore, in areas that I've never been sore before. Needed to step up my routine, and it was tough! Found it on fitness blender on YouTube (37 min fat burning cardio) if anyone wants to try it out, but will fair warn you it was tough for me. I plan to do it a few days per week.

ROUND 55 (Round 2 for me)
5’5” 65 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Round 54 – SW 178 lb. down to 171.8 lb. (6.2 lb. loss) This was my beginning of eating keto and tracking calories. I expect more realistic loss this round, but loss, none the less!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/05 171.6 I’m happy to be starting another round! After a big breakfast with our guests from Zimbabwe, Thor (my GSD) and I walked a little over 3 miles. I took water for both of us this time. Someone took my water before I returned for it, but I drank a little of Thor’s water. We walked a little slower than usual since I had a full tummy from breakfast.
10/06 171.4 No walk, getting ready for a 2-day bus trip, singing and eating with my sisters in Christ. When I joined the group, my husband groaned, because he didn’t want me to be heavy like the rest of the ladies. His fears were grounded, and I gained about 40 lbs. Fortunately, most of us in the group have gotten serious about getting back in shape, so I think I’ll eat okay this weekend. Thor and I will miss our walks, but we plan to start again on Monday.

10/06--177.6 Well I'm really good at getting to here but then stalling. Let's see if I can keep it going this round! Pilates this morning and then I'm hosting my niece's birthday party at my house. Happy its a 3-day weekend, I actually tend to eat fewer calories on the weekends.

I am a 50 year old 5'5" woman. I am trying to get healthier to avoid diabetes and all of the problems that come from being overweight.

I have found this challenge to be both rewarding and frustrating! Looking at my weight daily has been a real eye opener to see all of the fluctuations and how a high carb day will affect me and the loss for 2-3 days after. On the other hand when I look at the big picture and the averages it has been a consistent loss except for two rounds. Round 53 was my 50 birthday celebrations that upped my weight for a few days.

I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

🎀10/5 - 180.2 - My carb grams have been much higher in the past week. Yesterday the carbs were wheat flour in the form of Texas toast croutons (10) and pumpkin tortilla chips (12) They were good and crunchy, just what I needed. 😁 But what springboarded (Is that an actual word? Today it is because I'm tired) me back to 180 was not enough sleep. Making the flowers for the wall has me keeping very late hours and I've been averaging 4 hrs of sleep every night this week. Today, I finish up the flowers and assemble the boards for the wall. Every part of this project is a PROJECT. I'll take a break tonight and tomorrow, then get back to it Saturday evening and Sunday. I want it to be ready for transport on Wednesday.

🎀10/6 - 179.2 - So thirsty yesterday. Drank about 130ozs of water, which I have not done in a while. Up until 12:30am working on the bones of the backdrop with my girlfriend and a bit of the "bling" of it. We began glueing the silk flower petals to the ribbon ☺ worked out the logistics of getting the backdrop from my house to the church.

The closer I get to my goal weight, the slower the scales move. I’m trying to focus on the other benefits of my weight loss such as the lower blood pressure, my hip pain has disappeared, and my stamina has increased. It would be great if I could make my goal weight stick for this round though!

10/5 175.8 - I went to a family gathering last night and food was potluck style and I chose the healthiest I could and I did have a piece of fudge too. 🙂
10/06 178.2 - Oh wow. So TOM has started. And I over ate last night. I was tired and I realized I was snacking because I was tired, but I still did it. Today, I'll stay on track.

I’m in for Round 55! This is my second round and I loved seeing everyone’s progress and this has helped in keeping me accountable. Thank you all!

I’m 5’3” and 43 years old.

Round 54 (my round 1) SW187 FW183.4
Round 55 (my round 2) SW 183 my goal for this round is 179

10/5 183.4 whew, I was afraid I was up! I had a busy few days and logged food, but didn’t check in here. Been doing a good job of keeping calories and carbs down - until my mom brought over pumpkin pie last night. Carbs and sweets are my downfall. Today I’m not working out as it is my rest day but planning to keep active and keep calories way down as the weekend is coming!

10/6 182 and so happy to see this downward trend. My exercise class was canceled this morning so now I’m trying to find something to do. Probably will end up walking the dog but was hoping for a more intense and full body workout. Tomorrow is going to be a major test as we have a birthday party and my favorite cherry cake will be served. So I’ll just have to plan for it.

Round 54 End Weight = 142.0 (1.1 lbs lost)

Stats = 5'4 female, age 48

Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)

Round 55 Goal: 140.0 or Under

Exercise Plan = Had to pause the Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge on Day 68 due to sprained ankle, still in recovery mode and just practicing yoga during this round to hopefully get back to my workout program by Round 56.
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.

10/5 = 142.0 (no change from yesterday) Yesterday, I was on my feet too much and felt it in my ankle by the end of the night, will try to stay off it more today and ice. I'm going to alternate yoga every other day for this round, trying to strengthen my ankle. This round I'll also focus more on my nutrition, which has been slacking. There has been more and more gluten making its way back into my food choices and I just feel better when I limit these types of foods. I'll tighten back up on my alcohol consumption as well, limiting to 1-2 times/week. "Tough times don't last; tough people do."

10/6 = 142.0 (no change from yesterday) Took yesterday as another rest day, ankle improving with the pain now down to dull ache and able to bear full weight. Yesterday was the perfect running weather, so hard to be stuck inside not able to get some miles in. I really want to be able to run (as well as get back to my workouts) while it is still fall before it gets so cold. I'll still run outside in winter, but just love fall running the most. Today, I'm going to do some yoga and then need to do some menu planning and meal prep. If I am going to lose any real weight this round, it will be because of the food choices I make. Need to make sure I'm set-up for success. Have a great weekend everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment

🎀10/5 - 180.2 - My carb grams have been much higher in the past week. Yesterday the carbs were wheat flour in the form of Texas toast croutons (10) and pumpkin tortilla chips (12) They were good and crunchy, just what I needed. 😁 But what springboarded (Is that an actual word? Today it is because I'm tired) me back to 180 was not enough sleep. Making the flowers for the wall has me keeping very late hours and I've been averaging 4 hrs of sleep every night this week. Today, I finish up the flowers and assemble the boards for the wall. Every part of this project is a PROJECT. I'll take a break tonight and tomorrow, then get back to it Saturday evening and Sunday. I want it to be ready for transport on Wednesday.

🎀10/6 - 179.2 - So thirsty yesterday. Drank about 130ozs of water, which I have not done in a while. Up until 12:30am working on the bones of the backdrop with my girlfriend and a bit of the "bling" of it. We began glueing the silk flower petals to the ribbon ☺ worked out the logistics of getting the backdrop from my house to the church.

As I may have mentioned before, I am in remission for breast cancer (2011), and continue to take medication therapy since my original surgery, chemo and radiation. The hair loss I continue to experience is due to the specific type of chemo I took, even after 7 years! I work with a dermatologist but nothing is helping so far. I just want to thank you for the beautiful display you are making. While the donation dollars help to fund research and is always good, there are so many, many ways people help. Fundraisers, making and donating lap blankets to any local hospital with a cancer center, donating their hair, making foam breast forms and donating to the centers. Donating puzzles for the waiting rooms. Donating books and magazines for those undergoing long hours of treatments (and their families). Donating gas cards so people can afford to get to treatments. And the biggest of all.....spreading awareness so that all of the above and more can be done by more and more people. From me & my children to you.....A great big {{{{hug}}}} and a million thank yous. Just mentioning breast cancer awareness month on forums can lead folks to choosing products in their grocery stores where the companies will donate to help find a cure and fund programs to help people in need. I know you have been working hard on your display.
Your project is both inspiring and beautiful. And it will ultimately lead to saving lives.[/deeppink] More {{{{hugs}}}}.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 55
