10/5 - 171.6
10/6 - 170.5 My goal today is to get hydrated enough and eat clean.
10/7 - 169.4 Happy with the results so far but hope this continues.
my goal today :
1.drink lots of water
2.eat as clean as possible
3.start exercise (walking at slow pace) at least for 15 minutes
10/8 - 169.4 scale didn't move down today. I drank enough water, ate clean, even worked out but still there was no change! Happy that at least i didn't gain any weight!
10/9 - 168.3 Had the same routine but wish my weight goes down steadily. I am not a very active person and I really need to move often and stay active throughout the day.
10/10 - 168.3 No change in weight today.

Chilly rain this morning, but it's supposed to clear up this afternoon so I should get a nice outdoor walk.
10/06 - 137.2 - 1206 - 10-day ave 1219
Hmmmm. Who knows? It's a bit warmer today, and rain this afternoon, so I'm hoping to get a nice walk in this morning. Have a great weekend, all!

Foggy, drizzly Sunday morning here, but I have a good day planned, including a walk (indoors if necessary) and some painting time (watercolors, not walls
). I hope you all have a lovely, healthful day!

I seem to have hit a new hover point. That's fine. One of these days something will change and I'll drop a little more. It's going to be in the high 80s today (again) and low 80s tomorrow, and then drop to the more Octobery 50s, and I'm planning lots of walks and hopefully a hike or two now that I feel a bit better. I love October!

Last night I went to a potluck and there was nothing I could eat with my restricted diet - I had been hoping for some veggies at least. And even what I took was off my list - I had planned to make something I could eat, but spent the afternoon at the vet's office getting an ultrasound for my dog, and ended up just grabbing some lemon muffins at the bakery. But the hostess graciously pulled a leftover roast chicken out of the fridge, so I had chicken and an apple. Perfect! I can't say I was even tempted by all the great looking food - I've stuck to this elimination diet for almost 4 weeks and have 2 more to go before I start adding things back to test them, and I wasn't going to blow those 4 weeks for a few minutes of pleasure! Now I'm waiting for the ultrasound evaluation by the radiologist.

Big temperature drop during the night and suddenly fall weather has arrived. It's a beautiful, sunny 50ish day, so I'm planning a long walk on the river greenway. Have a lovely weekend, all!

I switched around my closets yesterday as sweater weather closes in, and culled a lot of clothes that are now too big. I've lost 14 pounds since we last wore warm clothes! So I have a big big of donations in my car.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/05 - 151.5 - I'm up again for no other reason than weight fluctuations. I'll have to really watch what I eat this weekend so I don't bump up too much more on Monday.
10/06 - 150.5 - I didn't expect this weight this morning after I ate close to 1500 calories yesterday, but I'll take it!
10/07 - DNW - I had to move the scale because of our bathroom remodel and I woke up at 3:45 this am and didn't think my husband would appreciate me turning on lights to check my weight. Our son-in-law is in town and staying with us to do the remodel and we've had a couple cookouts. I made vegetable side dishes, but I've eaten about 1500 calories a day the past couple days, so tomorrow's weigh in may not be pretty. That's why I'm here though, to face any gain and get back on track.
10/08 - 151.5 - It could have been worse, although sometimes it takes a couple days for the sodium to show up. Water today!
10/09 - 150.5 - I ate about 1100 calories yesterday and drank my water. I hope my body cooperates and shows another little loss before the end of the week.
10/10 - 150.5 - I'm good with this. At least it's not going up!
10/11 - 150.5 - I'm hoping for a little drop soon.
10/12 - 149.5 - A new low! This should help my trend weight for the week.
10/13 - 149 - Although I'm excited about another new low, I'm more excited about the rescue dog we just adopted yesterday! We already love her. It occurred to me this morning that my weight loss slowed down after our last dog died in July. Even though we'd had to limit her walks (bad leg) I realized that there are a lot of other things that increase my activity with a dog in the house. I have a feeling that our new dog "Whiskey" and I are going to help each other get healthier.
10/14 - 149.5 - Very happy to end the challenge at this weight!10 -
Round 52 SW: 204
Round 52 EW: 202
Round 53 EW: 198
Round 54 EW: 195
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 f r now. Can’t eliminate all at once!
10/07 - 195 had a late night snack.. today’s not good either since we went apple picking and I couldn’t pass up those apple cider doughnuts!!! Let’s see how bad it will be tomorrow
10/08 - 195 it’s a miracle!
10/09 - 194.5 forgot to post it the last 2 days! doing ok! Doesn’t look like it will be a big weight loss round but that’s ok. I can tell when I put on my jeans and shirts that there’s a difference
10/10 - 194 woohoo! I just don’t have enough time to eat lol
10/11 - 195 I ate way too many carbs yesterday.. at least a lot more than normal. Pasta for lunch, pizza for dinner. I try to limit the heavy card to one meal if necessary! Hopefully tomorrow will be better... I seem to be under calorie goal so far.
10/12 forgot to weigh in the morning before started eating
10/13 forgot I guess? I didn’t even realize 🤦🏻♀️
10/14- 194 - happy to be back to this number and end this round off with a loss!! I toggled between 195 and 194 all round. Want to definitely make progress next

@rainykatie I don’t know where you live but you might get a second opinion on the pup. 40 years ago when my cat got clipped by a car, our country vet said he couldn’t fix him but he could send him to Colorado Springs and they could use plates and screws to put him back together. I didn’t opt for that but ortho procedures have improved so much since then . . .
@bubblegum2fitness I love Wii fit! I need to get that back out! Put away to lack of space but I need to accommodate it and not sit all day!
@ssssanaaaa With recommended max losses of 1.5-2#/week that would be 2.25-3 each 10 day challenge. Weight loss isn’t linear and with the anticipated ups and downs, I think you are doing fine.
@iLadyT My go to “breakfast” when I started keto was cheddar and bacon. I do my bacon in the oven 2# at a time so it is in the fridge and ready when I want it. Put a slice of cheddar (I used cheddar from a block) on parchment, one or 2 slices of bacon, and cheddar on top. Microwave long enough to melt the cheese, allow to cool enough to pick up and enjoy! Bacon and extra sharp cheddar got me through the first weeks of keto with ease. I should add that I have never been an early morning eater. Breakfast is usually around 10:30 or 11.

10/06 177 - I had hoped for more after walking more than 20 thousand steps - but a loss is a loss no matter how small.
10/07 177.2 - yesterday turned into a WAM day - so i ate at maintenance - did get my exercise in tho. I have a lot to do today and have woken up with a cold - will have to pace myself and be watchful
10/08 178.8 - wish that weight was from celebrating - but no, just from being too tired to give a d@mn.
10/09 179.6 delayed reaction from Sunday?? Food and exercise were both on target yesterday. Going to start today with a workout.

10/14 176.6 so a loss of 0.6 for the round11 -
@deepwoodslady When I started keto, I kept reading “carbs are a limit, protein is a goal, and fat is the lever.” I don’t know how long it was before I understood what they were saying by “lever,” just thick headed I guess.
@tiabirdie. Tish, YOU and your wall are SPECTACULAR!
@lolakinks Any loss is good, right?

**UPDATE 10/11/18 My original goal was my last WW goal 137, when I got there I decided to give myself a couple of pounds for fluctuations. I had noted that my high school weight was 125 which, at that time, weight charts said was about 20# too much but pictures from high school do not show that. So I am not stressing about what I weigh, I’m sticking to my plan and still losing. I’m curious to see where this takes me.

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
🎀10/7 - 180.2 - Not enough sleep and a really high carb day that was not vegetables. It's all good, be over soon.
🎀10/8 - 181.4 - Absolutely carbs
🎀10/9 - 181.8 - Good thing my fortitude is a lot stronger than 3lbs of fluid! Another high carb/calorie day. Today may be the same. Yesterday, I was rested, this morning, very tired, as if I had a strenuous workout.
🎀10/10 - 181.2 - Very late night quick "meal" early weigh in after 4 hrs of sleep. My friend and I thought we were would be finishing up the flower application on the wall last night. NOT! Ran out of flowers. So, last minute dyeing of filters and now I'm trying to expedite the drying of them. There is still a lot to do before Saturday. The next photo I post will be on Saturday when the flower wall is in position and on display. I must say that it is gorgeous. Not at all how we imagined it would look. It is impressive.
🎀10/11 - 181.4 - Up all night glueing flowers. TIRED. Rested for two hours and now back at it. Hoping it doesn't have to be another all nighter.
🎀10/12 - 181- Surprised at this early weigh in. High carbs again yesterday, but under 93g total. Completed the flower wall at 1am, in bed by 2:15, sleep by 2:18 I'm sure. Up at 6am, smh. I will post a pic of the wall , but lying flat on the floor doesn't do it justice.
🎀10/13 - No weigh in this morning, but I'm sure my weight is still in the 181 range. I'll take care of that after today.
🎀10/14 - 179.8 - Surprised me this morning. I did not expect to end this round with only a .8 lb gain I'm grateful for that. I had to be at the church a couple of hours before the event in order to help my friend set up the wall. I took 4 TBS of peanut butter to eat later in the day. There were snacks offered to the guests, not healthy ones as you can imagine. I needed some salt, so I ate a 1oz bag of chips. I needed some energy, so I ate 2 dunkin munckins. They were supposed to be pumpkin flavored and tasted like pure sugar. Then I ate my peanut butter. Should have eaten the peanut butter first and saved myself from eating the junk. My eating was off for most of the last 8 days. My tiredness had me wanting something crunchy, but I didn't "crave" it. Two days I ate over 2000 calories and one day on cusp of 2000 cal. Two days 200 calories over maintenance, one day a few calories over target and two days under target.
I may do a one day fast this week to give my digestive tract a rest.
P.S. ~ These 10 day rounds seem to be really flying by!

Appears as though I lost all of this rounds weight within the first 4 days? Not sure why the last half didn't have a loss but I can't complain about the overall loss. I'm set to a 1lb loss a week. I wanted to take it slow at first but I'm already tempted to up it to 1.5. Either way, I'm happy I got through this round and I'm excited to start the next Good job everyone

Round 46 End Weight = 159.6 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 47 End Weight = 157.2 (2.4 lbs lost)
Round 48 End Weight = 155.2 (2.0 lbs lost)

Round 52 End Weight = 143.7 (2.5 lbs lost)
Round 53 End Weight = 143.1 (0.6 lbs lost)
Round 54 End Weight = 142.0 (1.1 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 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!
10/7 = No Weigh In. I had a nice Sunday morning sleep-in and then before I could weigh-in was called to cooked breakfast for my daughter. I had promised her French toast as we had some really nice bread left over from earlier in the week. This was only for her, I am not tempted by this at all as consuming gluten makes me feel horrible. I picked my 90 day challenge workouts back up and completed day 69 of 90. I had to modify and take out the jumping parts and wore the ankle brace for extra support. I dropped each move down from 1 minute each to 30 seconds, still 3 rounds. I got through this fine, no noticeably ankle pain!
10/8 = 142.0 (no change) Probably not making my goal this round of being under 140. But it will come in time, just trying to get back into the swing of things with my workouts. Hopefully, now that I am able to get a good sweaty workout in again, I will be able to recommit to the healthy eating habits I had been practicing. I'm discouraged to know that this ankle set-back led to some self-sabotage eating, I had hoped I was beyond that. But knowledge is power, so I will stay strong and get back on track.
10/9 = No Weigh in
10/10 = 146.7 (up 4.7 lbs) Ow! That hurts just typing it. Two back to back days of making really poor choices and that is was the scale will bring you. I deserve this number. Monday went off the rails at lunch, when I got into pasta leftovers, which I should not be eating anyway due to gluten intolerance, much less in the serving size I had. Then we went to the movies where I had popcorn and a sugary cocktail, out to dinner where I had a dairy heavy soup, home to watch the Redskins lose on Monday night football where there were snacks and wine consumed. I logged it as a little over 3,000 calories. Then yesterday morning I avoided the scale (bad sign), and had normal calories all day but then lost it and more than doubled my calories with wine and snacks after dinner, came in over 2,400 calories. WTF??? I'm not stressed, there is no real reason for this binge but I feel it has been building for a bit. Spraining my ankle didn't help but I think this was coming even before that. I'd gotten a little complacent with my logging, calories, and food choices once I got under 145 lbs because I was so happy to not be "technically" fat anymore that I wasn't as diligent as I need to be. But no excuses, I made these choices. I now need to make a new choice, to refuse to sabotage all the hard work is has taken me to lose what was a 30lb loss. New day, a new re-confirmed commitment to myself and this process. "Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you".
10/11 = 145.5 (down 1.2 from yesterday, still up 3.5 lbs) Reigned it in a bit yesterday, still not 100% back on track. I had a typical breakfast but by the time for lunch, I was off track & "snacked" instead of having my normal green smoothie. But I logged it and was right at my calorie max, so I called it a day and didn't have anything more to eat. So while not the most nutritious day, was not over calories. Baby steps I drank lots of water yesterday to help flush out some of the junk food bloat and was able to get back to my 90 day challenge workouts. Day 70 completed yesterday: Jump Squat Cross Cross, Push Up Jacks, Crescent Kicks, 1-2 Punch (right leg, then left), One Arm Burpees, Spinal Balance, Single Leg Balance Lifts, Donkey Calf Raises, & V-Sit Straight Leg Circles. 3 Rounds but I've dropped each move from 1 minute each to 30 seconds to take it easy on my ankle. Still modifying some moves to be a little less intense but was able to do the jumping moves, albeit gingerly, at least pain free.
10/12 = 144 (down 1.5 from yesterday, still up 2.0 lbs) Inching my way back down. Yesterday was about 80% on track, nutrition was good and under calories, lots of water, but no exercise and 1 glass of wine. Looking to tick off all of the boxes today for nutrition, hydration & exercise. We going to be busy doing all sorts of fun fall activities this weekend. I'm taking my daughter and friend to a Graveyard Ghost tour tomorrow night. We live in an old New England town and this is something the historical society does so should be a bit of informative town history with a side of Halloween spooky. And then on Sunday, we will be headed to a local corn maze and pumpkin patch. The corn maze covers 8 acres, so if I'm not back weighing in on Monday, you'll know I'm still lost! There may of may or may not be a cider doughnut in my future this weekend as well, but only if it fits in my calories. Have a great weekend, everyone!
10/13 = 142.4 (down 1.6 from yesterday, still up 0.4 lbs) Almost back to my starting weight! Now wondering if I can pull out even the tiniest loss this round??? But will be happy with being at my start round weight, or even this weight tomorrow because the real success is that while I got derailed, I stopped it and got back on track. Major personal growth here "Never let a stumble in the road, be the end of your journey."
10/14 = 141.3 (down 1.1 from yesterday) SUCCESS!!!! Hard 10 days, I really lost my way for the 1st time since I started trying to lose weight, but I found my way back and am finishing this round with a 0.7 loss. This maybe the most important round yet for me, I think the mental component of losing weigh is the part that really controls it all. I'm heading into round 56 in a renewed positive head space and ready to tackle the approximately 15 pounds I have left to lose. See you there! "The body achieves what the mind believes."9 -
OSW: 212 (Sept 2017)
FGW: 170
10/5: 194.6
10/6: 194 - I went to the gym yesterday for the first time in a while. I've been exercising outdoors all summer, but yesterday it rained. It actually felt good to work out inside! A change is good sometimes.
10/7: 194.6 - I'm feeling a little bloated today so not surprised there has been no drop. I did pretty good yesterday with my eating and logging, but before dinner I was hungry and did some snacking on pretzels and hummus. I did get out for a long horseback ride and hike (i get off my horse and walk up all the steep hills) so exercise goal is a big check for yesterday. Today my goal is to stick to my calorie goal and fit in yoga and a jog.
10/8: 194.8 - Trying not to be discouraged. I had a pretty good weekend as far as weekends go. I logged my food, wasn't as austere as I had hoped, but didn't go over either day. Yesterday I went to the beach for a run with my 6 year old. We did 2 miles, he's got so much energy! 6 year olds don't like jogging as it's boring, so we pick landmarks ahead (logs, piles of seaweed) to race to. It's like full on sprints! My legs are sore and we had fun together. A great day. Monday is here and I've got gym plans and a healthy lunch packed. Here we go.
10/9: 192.6 - What? Suddenly the scale came down. I have felt bloated the last few days and today feel more normal, so hopefully I'll stay down here for a while. Never did get that workout in yesterday- discovered I forgot my sneakers! AAAAH! Instead, I focused on staying within my calorie range and I was successful. Today I remembered my sneakers, and I have signed up for a lunchtime spin class. I'm loving this 10 day challenge- it seems so much more manageable taking things in a 10 day chunk.
10/10: 194.6 - Again. I had a stressful day yesterday (found out my husband is getting laid off), and I had some wine and ate pizza for dinner as a coping mechanism. So the 2 lb fluctuation isn't unexpected- I need to find other ways to cope with stress. Hoping it comes down again! I did make it to spin class yesterday at lunch, it felt good. Today I plan to get in a quick jog outdoors- I don't have a lot of time but it sure is a beautiful day here on the Oregon coast.
10/11: 195. Feeling super discouraged. It's my own fault, I went on a crazy snacking binge yesterday, just gave up, and stopped counting my calories. I have no idea why nor what the trigger was. I also didn't get in my jog yesterday- I just didn't have time. I'm a full time working mom of 2 kids and I also have a small horse farm, and my husband is traveling for work this week so I'm on my own to take care of everyone. Some days are just too crazy. I have 4 days left in this challenge- including today- and I'm going to do the best I can. Today I have a walking meeting scheduled at work, so I'll get some exercise. I may or may not also try for a gym workout, depending on how my day goes otherwise.
10/12: 194. The roller coaster continues! I suppose this is how it goes with daily weigh ins. Yesterday was a better day. I didn't have time for the gym, but my walking meeting was a good hour long walk involving hills, so I'm counting it as exercise. I also did a quick 20 minute yoga session after work and before dinner- no small feat for someone with as many beings (little kids + animals) to take care of. Today the kids have no school, and I've got a puppy with a hurt leg to take to the vet- so exercise might be hard to come by but I'm hoping for a strength workout at some point. I want to finish this challenge out STRONG! NO mindless snacking is my goal for today.
10/13: 194.8 - I'm okay with this number. We ordered Chinese food last night. I didn't eat very much, but I know how salty it is. Yesterday was a rough day. I took our 9 month old puppy to the vet to discover he has the worst case of hip dysplasia the vet has seen. They are recommending euthanasia.
I had my kids with me too. We were all heartbroken and so went to the ice cream store and I ate some chocolate ice cream for lunch. I logged it and planned for it and it was OK. I never got in an "official" workout, but I did play soccer in the evening with my son for a half hour and my fitbit logged it as a cardio workout- so I am counting it- I was sweaty indeed. One more day in the challenge. My goal again today is to avoid mindless snacking- I was successful yesterday. I'll also try to avoid salty foods and stay within my calorie budget so I can maybe see a loss on the last day of the challenge.
10/14: 194.6 - Well I didn't lose any weight over the last 10 days. But, I did get in plenty of exercise and met my goal there. I also got back into the logging habit which I needed to do. Yesterday I even got up and went jogging first thing, which is not something I usually do and a great way to start off the weekend. Today I am going to do some yoga and hopefully something fun outside with my kids, it's another beautiful day!

@abowersgirl and @quiltingjaine thanks for the comments on my pup. He's so young! He is not in pain now, but apparently will have a short and painful life. The vet suggested we would probably opt to put him down before he turns 3 because of his pain level. They did give us the option of hip replacement surgery, but it is very expensive (4500 each hip), not something in our budget, and also does not always fix the problems.
Right now I am just trying to enjoy him and give him the best life possible. I took him to the beach yesterday and on a hike, the vet said exercise is good to stave off the inevitable. But I can't help feeling sad looking in his big brown innocent eyes and know what's ahead for him. 7 -

10/05 155.6 sllooowwly inching off. Worked out good yesterday, ate well and 1.2 liters of water. Hate that I can't get enough water in... I need to get my head in the game. It was absolutely gorgeous yesterday and I was so happy to have a nice day again, fully knowing it is one of last nice days I decided to take full advantage of it. My dog sure loved me for it too lol more then 40 minutes of walking, breathing in the fresh air and just enjoying life. It ended up being a really great day!!
10/06 no weigh in. Last night went out late and woke up this morning and immediatley went out to pick up some stuff up for thanksgiving dinner tomorrow so didn't weigh in before eating. But I did work out, stay under calories and drank 1 liter of water so at least last night's outting won't effect tomorrow's weigh in
10/07 🍁🍃Thanksgiving 🍁🍃 154.8 not too bad. Yesterday wasn't feeling too good so my food wasn't the greatest and I got minimum exercise in (had to shop for thanksgiving) hoping today will go well but I am not sure at the same time...we will see
10/08 155.6 not a bad gain at all!!! I ate so much if not a little of everything but I think that worked in my favor. Rather then taking two plates of food, I had one with a spoonful of everything. That way I tasted everything but my brain registered being full when I was finished. Not too bad at all. Holidays are over and I am officially back at it. I got this!
10/09 156.4 Ok so here is the real gain from sunday lol ate within my goals, exercised and drank 1 liter of water. I personally have no clue of what more I can actually do to jump start this weight loss again..I'm definitely stuck with 156-155-154 . I already exercise with as much time as I have and I already eat extremely healthy, always watching my salt, sugar, carbs and fats...just being sure they all are balanced for the day and not over the suggested amount. Water is something I continue having a problem with probably going to just re set all my focus on that rather then worrying about everything else since I seem to have a good routine and mindfulness towards my balance. I'm just going to have to be patient with myself. I was looking back at another page from a couple of weeks ago when I first hit the 150s and I actually, literally said that the 150s were going to be a difficult 10 pounds and that I knew my weight loss would slow...lol should have listened to myself
10/10 155.8 weighed but forgot to post
10/11 154.4 crazy exercise day yesterday, ate under calories and drank 1.7 liters of water. Slowly coming down. On Tuesday I started feeling a tingle in my throat and yesterday woke up with a cough, this morning I woke up stuffed up. I might be fine to get some light exercising in but I already know tomorrow will be hard.
10/12 152.6 talk about a whoooosh train. There are two things that might have contributed to this weight loss 1. The fact that I have a chest and head cold..if this is the case I hope it stays once I am better and I don't regain or 2) I ate 1400 calories yesterday. I exercise like mad and although I try to stick to the 1200 calorie budget I find that when I eat closer to 1400, especially on a crazy work out day, I loose faster. I already know the rule of thumb is to stick to 1200 when you dont exercise much but then to up your calories when you do but it's so difficult to over throw the fear and mentality of exercise and small amounts calories. I need to remind myself the more you work out the more you need to eat. I will be watching and experimenting with this concept as I go on
10/13 151.4 I don't think I would have imagined dropping to this weight within these last 10 days, it's almost surreal to think I am finally almost out of the dreaded 50s and on to the 40s. I am speechless. I don't even know how i will celebrate my success. At the same time I am a little skeptical because I do have a cold and although I am trying to eat all my calories, when everything doesn't have a taste it makes it all less appetizing. Hopefully this is the start of my new reality and not a dream brought on by my cold.
10/14 151.2 wow didn't expect this. Had a day full of munching. The majority of my exercising was walking (adding extra minutes then I usually do), grocery shopping and cleaning. Decided to have a rest day for the heavier exercising. Super pleased by this loss but still feeling sick. Today I decided to retry my harder exercises but to either moderate or go slower then usual just to make sure I can moderate my breathing. Right now I am stuffed up and congested and everytime I start to breath out my mouth I cough so it will be difficult but we will see. I ate over my usual 1200 but because of the extra walking activity I managed to not completely eat all my extra calories, which is a plus.
Recap: so although I did have thanksgiving and have been feeling ill this week I managed to stick to my goals and exercise. I lost 4.6 this round so that is absolutley amazing especially since last round and the beginning of this round seemed to be plateaued. I am looking forward to do as well next round. See you all there10 -

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/5 - 182.2 - Too many carbs yesterday, I did do a lot of working out too though so it shouldn't last too long.
10/6 - 182.0 - I am my own worse enemy I have got to learn to stop the high carbs!
10/7 - 182.2 I’m not surprised, this is a poor weekend to try to lose. Thanksgiving, gender reveal, company...

10/9 - 183.0 - Back at work today, I find it so much easier to control things at work and when I'm in my normal routine.
10/10 - 181.0 - Still feel "heavy" and like I've eaten too much. Hopefully this feeling goes away soon.
10/11 - 181.6 - Ugh
10/12- 180.4 - Finally heading down again. I don't think my average will be less this time either though
10/13 - 179.8 - Oh man, I hope I can stay in the 170's now. It's such a slow process for me this time losing, but hopefully that means it will last longer too!
10/14 - 180.4 - my own fault had too many carbs yesterday.8 -

10/13 - 175.0…..First, let me say I am so happy to be typing my weight in red today instead of green or black. Yesterday was day One of my Egg Fast. It went very well. Nighttime is when I want to snack so I saved some cubed cheese just for that. Today was day Two. I hope that my weight in the morning will reflect more loss. I would love to end AT LEAST WHERE I STARTED on this round! Sheesh….. this has been a tough round for me. Next one has GOT to be better. Wishing everyone well for tomorrow’s weigh-in.
10/14 - 174.6..... It took an Egg Fast just to get me to my starting weight but I did it! Whew! No loss this round which is disappointing. But I’ve learned a lot this round that will become tools in my toolbox. Thanks everyone for that! And thanks @quiltingjaine for that cheddar & bacon concoction you’ve shared with @iLadyT and the rest of us. I will be making that for sure! Yummy! Congrats, BTW, on the 120’s where you have landed solid and firm! Your progress continues to astonish!
Nice job everyone! I'll see everyone in the next round.

10/13 / 240.6 / I am really bad about consistently logging exercise, but I’ve had quite a bit of it this week. It is also good to see that eating what other people cook, and other salty stuff, comes off pretty quickly once you are back in control.
10/14 / 241.5 / Hard work yesterday, not enough water, and eating out for lunch and dinner. I was under calories (both restaurants had their counts) so sodium is the likely culprit. It’s a win for me that I chose all healthy options.9 -
Ok there are only 2 days left but I am back on the wagon after xgiving. Week before xgiving jumped off the wagon with a pie in one hand and a bowl of gravy in the other.

10-12: 161.6 (0) After 3 weeks of sticking to the plan two things happened - shark week right before xgiving. If it stood still long enough I would eat it. I was stunned at the intensity of the cravings. Ice cream that had been in the house for weeks - gone. Chips and I do not LIKE chips - gone. Then of course I cooked thanksgiving dinner, mash, stuffing, sprouts with pancetta and chestnuts (I love chestnuts), gravy, bourbon cranberry sauce...PUMPKIN PIE etc etc. Cook everything on my own and of course that meant tasting it along the way. It was as if one bite lit the end of a stick of dynamite and BAAM had to have more. That 0 lbs does not tell the story. I was probably up 5 lbs just from mash alone but somehow sanity has returned. Cravings gone.
I bought G2 gatorade - 12 gr of CARBS! Hello, second ingredient is sugar and I used to drink that thinking it was a "better" choice - 12 g is almost half of 25 g daily limit (not for this diet for which it is lower think this is WHO recommendation) so I left it alone. Diet Coke which I started drinking thinking it would help with the cravings only made things worse. Doc suggested avoid asparatame and try xylitol - former absorbed in body latter not - but research it this is from memory.
Doc told me next shark week eat protein every 2 hrs and EXERCISE. No supplements. If really need a fix buy low carb snack. BUY ONLY ONE SERVING AT AT A TIME. I'll also stick with water and lemon or those flavoured waters and see what happens next round. Glad to be back on wagon and looking forward to next weigh in.
10-13: 161.6 (0) no change but still on wagon and leftovers AND CRAVINGS gone!
10-14: 161.6 (0) ok. so I weighed myself. no change. blew my nose. weighed myself again. no change....is that so wrong??? ...Looking forward to next round and being rewarded for my diligence with a downward swing in the numbers sans nose blowing....10 -

10/14-I did not weigh. I am kidding myself if I think today is my real weight after a week in the car and an Octoberfest last night. I will drink plenty of water and exercise and eat well today and will be back in the loop tomorrow. Have a lovely Sunday!
Thanks for being in the group and the wonderful support you give one another! 💚
