Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 – 68.1 kg (150 lbs.) / I met Jillian Michaels twice (morning and evening).
10/16 – 67.8 kg (149.5 lbs.) – 7 km (4,3 miles) run in the morning and 3 km walk during the lunch break
10/17 - 66.8 kg (147.3 lbs.) – six-pack in 6 weeks (38 min in the morning). Yesterday calories consumed a bit more than 1200 kcal. Tracker told not enough considering all exercised I did. But I just could not eat more
10/18 – 66.4 kg (146.4 lbs.) – 7 km run in the morning
10/19 – 65.9 kg (145.3 lbs.) – slight stretching in the morning only
10/20 – 65.6 kg
(144.6 lbs.) – no exercise today, but may be in the evening . Or at least try not to overeat. Weekends are full of temptations. But my usual glass at the market place in Frankfurt I will have anyway.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Round one for me! Let's do this!
Round 56 sw-214.0lb
Round 56 ew goal-212lb
Day/Weight/comment
10/15- 214.0lb- Been out walking for an hour and a half this morning, I will add another 45mins to that later when I walk my dog. Feeling motivated!
10/16- 213.8lb- Feeling absolutely knackered today, I got a really bad nights sleep last night due to my youngest child being a little wotsit. I just hope that doesn't derail my eating plan for today. I will only be doing housework and walking the dog later.
10/17- 213.0lb- Another bad night with the little one, I ended up having more snacks than I intended last night, ended on my bmr though so not awful. Doing a food shop in the minute, I'm going to make smart choices.
10/18- 213.8lb- I had a really good day yesterday, plenty of walking and I stuck to my calorie goals. I'm going to make an effort to drink plenty today.
10/19- 212.8lb- A very undeserved weigh in this morning as I went on a bit of a binge last night. I'm not going to beat myself up about it but I am going to stick to my calorie goals today and just carry on, I have been known for one binge day turning into a binge week and then a month so the most important thing I can do today is to forget yesterday and carry on as if it didn't happen. On a plus note I walked over 12000steps yesterday, that's pretty good for me.
10/20- 212.6lb- Another low for me. I feel abit bloated and hormonal today. I stuck to my calorie goals yesterday and did over 10,000 steps. Today is going to be another controlled day calorie wise but I am not sure if I will get time to do much walking, perhaps a few strength exercises when kids go to bed later.

I weighed in about 2 hours early & suspect I'd be lower at my usual time. But no cheating.
I have two more weeks on this very restrictive diet and then I can start testing the foods I've eliminated - eggs first! I'm looking forward to the process. I generally feel better, but still have this !!*&% joint pain. It moves around and the past few days has settled into my shoulders, which makes getting in and out of clothes a lot of fun. OTOH, I have a lot more energy than I've had for a while, so the uptick in Vit B12 and other nutrients has made a huge difference.
10/16 - 135.4 - 908 - 10-day ave 1202
Note to self - do not take ginger & curcumin supplements on an empty stomach in the morning. I had an upset stomach until afternoon so ate a teensy lunch. I felt better later, but not enough to eat much. Back to normal calories today. I should have known better!
10/17 - 135.4 - 1283 - 10-day ave 1214
I finished teaching last night (6-week non-credit fiction writing course) and I feel free - I'm hoping to take a long walk this morning and work in my garden this afternoon.
10/18 - 135.8 - 1091 - 10-day ave 1173
10/19 - 135 - 1343 - 10-day ave 1202
No chance to check in yesterday. Gorgeous sunrise this morning! And I'm tickled with the scale!!! I'm down 16 pounds in 4 months for 83 total since Feb 2015, and it feels great.
10/20 - 135.2 - 1301 - 10-day ave 1214
Through the first 4.5 weeks of this elimination diet I didn't feel particularly deprived, but at almost the end of week 5 I'm lusting after a few things -- peppers! tomatoes! my favorite breakfast -- Bob's Red Mill Old Country Muesli with egg whites, kefir, and fruit! And it's probably the longer walks I'm slowly adding as my joint pain lessens, but I'm hungry! I'm eating lots of protein, reasonable fat, and lots of veggies and fruit, but finding snackables that don't violate the restrictions isn't easy. I am slowly trying to increase my calories, but there are days when I just can't. All things considered, I shouldn't complain, but still.... OTOH, I've lost about 12 pounds since I started this (and several before that on a modified do-it-myself version), so that's a plus.
Enjoy your weekend, all!

10/17-- 146.2. Coming back to the group for a while, especially to support a friend. I've been away for a while because I'm happy where I am. But it won't hurt me to lose a little more especially right here before the holidays.
10/18— 147.2 I knew those Fritos with chili last night were a bad idea! Oh well, gotta drink more water today because of it.
10/19— 147 Not enough exercise yesterday, but did ok on food. Too many meetings at work.
10/20— 146.2 Had a pretty good day today. Slowly chipping away at vacation weight gain.

@abowersgirl I totally agree regarding the group. I've had so many days when I wanted to throw in the towel, but then thought I wouldn't want to write that the next day. My current dip in motivation, would have been the cause to give up a few months ago. And I also tend to forget the pats on the back...
Both you and @deepwoodslady are such inspirations.
@shunggie just build up to more steps. My average is 11,000 a day but I walk around 7-8,000 by just getting to and from work. So Idon't usually walk them in one go. This week I was off work at home and had to make an effort getting them in and struggled on my rest/lazy days. Yesterday for example, I did walk them almost in one go, just reached 10,000 steps and it took 7.5km/4.7mi.
I started walking more, when I had an injury and couldn't run. Sometimws it's just a relaxed stroll around the park&neighbourhood, listening to podcasts.
@timofeeva1213 Svetlana you are killing it!

10/18 - 207.4
10/19 - 207.0 - went to my son’s hockey BBQ as planned and only had the veggie burger that I brought with me. And it was enough. It was more about enjoying the outdoors and the people. I didn’t care about not having the chips that were there. Today is normally a bit of a free day for me but I’m going to try my best to track everything, get my water and steps in
10/20 - 207.0. I’m so happy with this. I tracked everything yesterday which kept me from having more of a free day than I might have. I had some salty meals yesterday so I’m going to drink tonnes of water today.

@kaytimt I notice that on 10/17 you had a carb snack after your workout. The trainer told me to have about 100 calorie carb snack BEFORE my workout and a protein snack to aid muscle repair AFTER. Since I’m doing Keto now, I would skip the “pre” snack and let my body burn my fat for fuel.5

56 SW 149.4
[/spoiler]
Goals for this round:
*148.xx
*Hill every day
*Track all food
*Increase Water
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 149.4 Head back in the game after this maintenance trend since round 53. I do feel really good at this weight, but would like to drop a little bit more before I call it official. I don't want my maintenance to fluctuate so close to the next decade!!
10/16 DNW I had a meeting with my staff yesterday and they surprised me with a feast of homemade food, so pretty much threw in the towel as I had to fully indulge and appreciate the love that was given through their food. Scared to step on the scale, only the second time this has happened on this journey. I feel so bloated today, but such is life. I plan on a today being a great day!
10/17 150.6 Did really well yesterday, this is the fallout from the weigh in I skipped. I am pre tracking my food today, walking the hill, drinking at least 12 of my big 14 oz glasses of water today, and practicing gratitude.
Looking to get out of maintenance to lose these last 10 or so lbs. My body feels good except for the inevitable AM bloat from eating carbs I think. Planned my day based on hitting my protein goals first.
10/18 148.8 Yay! Pretracking works, driniking lots of water works! got in about 98 oz yesterday, which is not quite the lofty goal I set but had me consciously drinking more and often. Only downside is dreams at night of having to pee and getting up too many times. But I'll take this lower number in exchange anyday! Plan on repeating the plan today, with a mini goal of getting to 147.xx this round. Have a great day everyone!
10/19 148.8 The road to somewhere?? is paved with good intentions...twins came over last night and spent the evening holding babies, DH cooked, son made empanadas, caved for warm bread lathered in butter and ice cream...new day today. Not going to bat myself on the head, instead just embrace today as a new day! After a day like yesterday I definitely don't feel hungry today, which is a good thing since I will need to have a low cal day to balance out yesterday's fun! Lots of water is the intent again today.
10/20 150.6 Cause and effect. And there it is, 2 days later. Lots of water again today and pretracking.

🎀 10/15 - 180.2 - Still tired lol. 65g carbs, 52g net carbs. Last night I thought I would have a good report on carb intake, then I remembered the bread and butter that I ate with my DGD, smh. I have some reading to do on the last thread.
🎀10/16 - 181.6 - I have been neglecting my electrolytes. Sodium and potassium have been very low for the past 2 weeks. Probably also contributing to my tiredness. Carbs were higher than 25g yesterday, but I can go as high as 50g without a problem. So, the plan is electrolytes twice a day until my body adjusts.
🎀10/17 - 179.8 - Electrolytes X 2✔ 10 hours of sleep?!✔✔ That NEVER happens. Still tired though, lol. Inadvertently, I did a sort of egg fast. My first meal, I ate 2 boiled eggs that were sitting in the fridge with some cheddar cheese. I wasn't in the mood for the dinner that I prepared, so my second meal was an omelette filled with spinach and arugula.
🎀10/18 - Scale weight was all over the place this morning. Started with 172, ten times! Ended with 180.2, three times. Other numbers in between. Hopeful that it will settle tomorrow.
🎀10/19 - 178.2 - I went to bed at 9pm last night. I've been slowly decreasing the carb grams back to keto level this week and increasing the fat. Drinking my electrolytes. Sunday was 65g carbs, 52g net carbs. Yesterday was 22g carbs, 18g net carbs. Also, getting back to 16/8 and 20/4 intermittent fasting. IF was not consistent daily while I worked on the project for my friend.

UGW: below 65 by end of the year
Rounds 47-55 EW: 73-70.5kg10/15 70kg oh wow, but then, i didn't have dinner yesterday. Went boxing in the morning, then for brunch, where we started drinking, ended up far too drunk and in bed by about 9.30pm... So this weight is after a very long sleep, let's see what tomorrow brings.
I'm off this week, which means I'll be able to exercise more, but also have to make mors of an effort to get my steps done. Today is a hung over rest day.
10/16 71kg - to be expected. I felt very sorry for myself yesterday and ended up not logging after lunch. I had loads of snacks in the eve but at least made it out for a walk to get my steps in despite being very sore from Sunday's boxing. Today started well, off work, so had a lie in, did some yoga befor weighing and breakfst and will either run or go boxing again tonight.
10/17 71kg still. Under cals yesterday, but quite a bit of exercise, however my run wasn't very successful. I stopped and walked after around 20mins, but went boxing in the eve - I think this is becoming an addiction... While I don't log boxing cals, I managed to get quite a few from the long walk and running a few errands. Also did Yoga in the morning and will get ready for day 2 now.
I didn't know there was an Adriene app, installed immediately, thanks bubblegumtofit
10/18 - 71kg still but I know why. Not going to work this week means I have to put extra effort in to make my step goals, which I didn't yesterday. It was also a rest day, but I ate like it was a very busy work out day, I just wanted things all afternoon and evening. Today, I'm posting very late, started with day 3 of adriene's yoga this morning, then went for a run this afternoon. It took quite a while to get into it, I haven't run as much as I wanted cos I'm so hooked on boxing these days. It really showed me how different muscle groups are used on different work outs. While I feel i'm making progress boxing and with the drills, running wasn't very good two days ago and still quite stiff today. I need to balance workouts more.
My motivation to log is a bit low, but this group is keeping me accountable.
10/19 71kg - oh boy, i'm self sabotaging. I can see my body changing for the better and my fitness improving, which is like giving myself a free ride to eat. Then I think I really need to get this back under control, while buying cheesecake for dessert after I had a burger! What is wrong with me?
I know being at home and in limbo about what I'll do next job-wise isn't helping. But come on!
At least the exercise is ok, did yoga day 4 today and will go for a walk. My knee hurts a bit from yesterday's run, so I'll decide later on boxing.
Soery for the rant, but I need to write this down to see how silly it I am being.
10/20 70.5kg, it's moving!
Sooo, maybe all this overeating is my way to go? Haha I wish. It means that I'm not doing as badly as I keep thinking.
I forget that I'm not just losing weight - however slowly and unlinear - I've also reversed gaining more, which should count for something.
Other wins are that I have also increased my exercise, reduced mindless snacking, emotional/stress-related eating and overall feel much better. The last few months have been slow for losing weight, but, and I have to say it again, I've reversed gaining! And that despite quite a few stressors - husband's slow path into depression and the start of treatment, increasing unhappiness about my job which lead to quitting, acknowledging that it's ok not be ok, an uncertainty and anxiety over what i'll do next for work, possibly going to Zambia for 3 months, almost having to make the decision to put down our kitten, family stuff. I know we all have our stuff to deal with and I have a tendency to play mine down. Writing here helps me tremendously, so does knowing that others have their own challenges and struggles and I thank you for sharing, commenting and reading.
Anyway, enough of that from me and sorry for the emotional outpouring. Have a lovely day, London has been beautiful these last couple of days and I'm giving myself a day of logging after all this self reflection (I already went for brunch with hubby and probably dinner at our friends').12 -
I'm sorry @puddlegoober. I saw my Mom go through this. It took a few years to get approved for knee replacement surgery which was just ridiculous because she could barely walk because of the pain. She kept having to get cortisone shots. She finally got approved to get it done and had her right knee done about two months ago. She's planning to do the left early next year. Frustrating how you have to be in pain so long!4

10/15 176.4 - It's my "Friday" today and I'm excited! I'm off tomorrow, then I work 1/2 a shift then I'm off the rest of the week!
I think I'm going to make it my goal this round to exercise 6 out of 10 days.
10/16 176 - I spent 10 minutes on the elliptical last night before deciding I just wasn’t feeling it, so I went for about a 10 minute walk. Today I’m off and I’m thinking of going for a walk today. We’re going to Chipotle for dinner tonight! I’m excited, I love Chipotle! 🙂
Exercise 1/6 is complete!
10/17 175.2 - Awesome! I had a really nice walk yesterday. And I got to eat one of my favorite dinners! And...nsv! I went to Victoria's Secret because I had a gift card. I've never shopped there before because I guess I assumed they wouldn't have my size. They did a fitting and the size gave me a surprise! I thought oh my gosh have I been buying the wrong size all along? Does anyone know? Are their cup sizes different? Anyway, I felt so confident and happy in a bra that actually fit me right! It makes such a difference! For the first time in a long time I was happy with what I saw in the mirror! Such a good feeling!
Exercise 2/6 is complete!
10/18 176.6 - Huh. The only thing I can think of is that dinner the past couple of nights was kind of high in sodium. Last night, I started feeling some IBS symptoms so I'm feeling pretty bloated. Not sure what's causing it. Hopefully it passes soon.
10/19 176 - I ended up at the dentist office yesterday. I knew that I need a root canal and it was scheduled for next month. My tooth broke, and it was hurting so I went in yesterday. The dentist that does the root canals was already off for the day, but they said that they are able to fix the tooth and do the root canal so I'll be doing that Tuesday morning. No fun! Thankfully it's not hurting right now.
Other than that I was within calories yesterday and I did not meet my step goal. Will go for it today!
10/20 176 - Hmmm...I'm thinking it's maybe time to lower my calories a smidge and see if that makes a difference. I spent most of last round hanging around 176 despite being within my calories. I'm still not going over. I did get in an evening walk last night for exercise 3/6.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 176.2 A long evening walk with my son to end the day. 14 days in a row we've gone for a walk together!
10/16 176.2 My son headed out with a friend yesterday so I went for a walk by myself - it was chilly so I didn't stay out long. Started today with a workout.
10/17 176.2
Was really hoping for a loss today. I ate under calories yesterday and did an 8 mile walk with my son on top of my morning work-out. Today will be mostly a rest day - I am wiped and will need to be mindful to avoid zombie eating.
10/18 176.4 just can't seem to shake this 176.
10/19 179 Did not want to weigh in this morning - I knew I blew it yesterday - I had to work an extra five hours at the end of the day, I was tired and feeling sorry for myself. Had szechuan noodles and cookies for very late dinner . Didn't want to track it - but I went back and made my best estimate. Even using exercise calories I was more than 1000 calories over!!
10/20 177.4 It was a struggle to stay on track yesterday, but no other option really, a second day of self-indulgence would have been a real motivation killer. I wonder why it is that I can handle lots of discomforts, headaches, sore knees, etc, but hunger and to a lesser extent tiredness make me restless and unhappy and I feel driven to shut them down as fast as possible and d@mn the consequences.

Round 56 (My 10th)
10/15 152 I'm really surprised I didn't gain anything from the weekend. I felt so full and yucky yesterday from all the wine I had Saturday night. I only had 700 calories yesterday though because I really couldn't eat much. Not complaining though! Hope you all are well, I didnt have much time on my phone this weekend to read all your posts but I plan to go back through them today.
10/16 151 Woohoo! So close to the 140's. I was just thinking back to my crazy hunger phase that I had back in September. So glad I pushed through it. It has definitely gotten easier.
10/17 151 (forgot to post but did weigh)
10/18 151 I originally set myself a goal of 148 by Halloween. Working hard to reach it! I know I can do it.
10/19 151 pizza last night and cereal for lunch so yesterday was a high carb/sugar day. Will make up for it today! 😊
10/20 150.5 not getting too excited about this because I'm going to eat Mexican food tonight! Ate light yesterday because I really wasn't all that hungry. Today's goal is to make sure I get enough water in because of the sodium in the foods I'm having tonight. I am also on my last lap of my morning walk of 3 miles. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
