Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 - 73.6kg - I've been indulging in too many carbs. IF + challenge to get me back on track.
10/16 - 72.9kg - As suspected, eating too many carbs made me retain water. Tonight I have gym, curious to see my numbers tomorrow morning.
10/17 - 72.00kg - This still must be water weight. Feeling better and more energetic! Gym sesh was great, that might've helped. I'm gonna try adding keto principles to my diet. It seems as much as I love 'em, carbs make weight loss much harder and longer for me. Anyone else on keto?
10/18 - 71.8kg - ok, now I'm hopeful. I just might end this on 71.5kg. Keto day 1 went ok, not hungry, just my mind playing tricks on me and wanting carbs. Today gym again. Hoping to see the scale move a bit down tomorrow as well. I'm about to travel to the USA for 2 months, so I'm trying to ditch these last few kgs before I leave.
10/19 - 70.80kg - Whoop!
10/20 - 70.80kg - Given that I drank more than I should last night (white wine) this is actually all good. Today I blew through my carbs and ate way too many. Expecting the scale to show that tomorrow, but it's ok, it'll come back down. If I can end this challenge on 70.00 I'll be thrilled. SO close to my goal but it seems so far away! One day at the time. Deep breaths.

10/15: 157.2/Committed to sticking with my goals this round.
10/16: 155.8/Ran on the treadmill yesterday instead of outside and I hated it, but with the fall setting in I don't have much of a choice.
10/17: 155.2/Had a work conference, worried about blowing my diet, but kept it together.

I have just over 2 weeks(my birthday)to hit my goal of getting into the normal BMI range, which is attainable as long as I keep focused.
10/19: 153.8/Have to keep this momentum going into the weekend! Down 25 lbs, from my osw!

ROUND 56 (Round 3 for me)
5’5” 65 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Third week on Keto WOE and impressed with decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain. Yay!
Round 54 – SW 178 lb. down to 171.8 lb. (6.2 lb. loss) This was my beginning of eating keto and tracking calories.
Round 55 – Finished at 170.0 (1.8 lb. loss)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 169.2 This is the number I wanted to see yesterday, but today’s good, too. It was raining when I woke up for my walk with Thor (my GSD). So, we slept another 1½ hours, and it was still raining. I’ll have to exercise inside today. Thor can run in the yard, and I’ll dry him off. I’m happy I mowed my yard and burned my brush piles before the rain started. I'd rather work outside, but I'll bake oatmeal cookies for my thin husband, cook Turkey Cabbage Stew to portion out and freeze, and do my husband's ironing so he'll look well cared for. After the rain stops—plant winter garden. Praying for a blessed day for all you fellow losers! I love being a (weight) loser.
10/16 168.4 Unexpected! I hope it doesn’t come back tomorrow. I have lunch at the women’s club meeting today—good time to practice restraint in preparation for the 10-day tour in New England states next month.
10/17 167.4 Really? Just to be sure, I got on the scale again, and verified the number. I’m keeping it! Thor and I did our 3+ mile walk this cool morning. The side is kinda blown out on my right walking boot, but I didn’t wear my newer pair because I realized this lets my toes spread and prevents the pain from my Norton’s Neuroma (small tumor between my toes). The Lord blesses me in mysterious ways. 😊 I think I can credit this keto WOE for less arthritis pain in my back/hips and shoulder. Even if I wasn’t losing weight, it’s worth being able to get more done without pain.
10/18 167.4 I’m good with no change today. Didn’t get to walk today, but I had a great day hanging out with friends. I turned down sweets, but had a glass of wine. I hope it doesn’t haunt me tomorrow.
10/19 167.0 I like the way this is going! Thor and I got in our 3.2 mile walk today. Rain drops began falling on our heads before we reached the half-way point, but we didn’t let it stop us. The rain stopped, and the walk was enjoyable. When we started, herds of cattle would trot to the fence along the road to see if we had anything for them. Now, they’re used to us and just glance up and go back to grazing. 😊
10/20 167.4 The scale giveth and the scale taketh away. I prefer “taketh away.” (Sigh) I stuffed myself to get over 1000 calories last night. Perhaps I shouldn’t have bothered. No walk with Thor today, but a nice day with my husband--Gosnell movie, lunch, and shopping. I'm glad they put Dr. Gosnell away for life, but I'm afraid there are more "doctors" like him in other cities.

10/15 - 80.1kg, I expected my weight to go up a little. Bit too much sodium at dinner. I’m okay with this though! Still going strong with IF, eating 1200cals and drinking at least 1.5L of water. I’m feeling incredibly motivated and excited for this round
10/16 - 79.5kg !!! I feel like I’ll plateau around this number for a few days but happy to see it come down, and feeling much less bloated than yesterday
10/17 - 79.6kg, expected! Okay with it! I haven’t had coffee for two days and I’ve noticed I’ve not been so ‘regular’, which is probably contributing as well
10/18 - 79.5kg
10/19 - 79.4kg, happy with this considering I went a little over calories last night and probably had a bit too much sodium. I drank so much water though, over 2L!
10/20 - 79.2kg, glad the scales keep going down! Just doing everything I know I should, and it’s working
10/21 - 79.2kg, pretty happy to still be here. I had a very big night with too many drinks and basically no water all day I saved 400 calories for the evening after my alcohol but I still drank more and my body was not happy on the way home!!! I’ll likely go over my calories today nursing this hangover but I definitely need it

10/15 - Monday - 136.5 - For a serial starter like me, 10-day challenge is the perfect way to hold myself accountable. It’s a busy day today, but I will stick to no snacking after dinner.
10/16 - Tuesday - 135.4 - cannot believe how fast today went by. Was good all day until I got home. Oh well. There were reasons. I will do better tomorrow.
10/17 - Wednesday - 134.9 - Honestly I did not stick to my food plan yesterday, because I was so hungry when I got home after my evening class. But I am pleasantly surprised.
10/18 - Thursday - 134.9 - The scale has been kind to me. I did not do well with my food intake. But my weight did not go up right away. I suspect has to do with how much water the body retains. On a positive note, I have kept up with logging food everyday.
10/19 - Friday - 134.9 - second day in a row of eating out for lunch. Paid attention not to eat dessert that was offered.
10/20 - Saturday -135.1 - I think all the sweets I ate during the week is starting to show 😫 But on the other hand, I logged my meals everyday of the week!

10/15/ 208.8#. I found that 19 ounces of squash with a little butter and sugar is about 300 calories. Very filling and helped my stay under my calories.
10/16 207.6#. (-1.2) Started my day tired. Met someone for lunch, so I splurged. I stayed under my allotted calories for the day. 🤩
10/17 208.2# (0.6#) still down half a pound from the start. Not going to fret about it. Got some exercise in. Went over my allotted calories, but stayed under 2,000 so I'm good with that.
10/18 208.4# (0.2#) tried to drink more water today. I've been very bad about water and have only been drinking about half. 3rd day in a row for eating out.
10/19 208.8#. Back to my starting weight on Monday. BUT I am down 2.6# from last Friday! I am eating out for supper tonight. Planning on bringing my own homemade dressing though. Can't wait! Ate so much today. Completely went nuts. Felt terrible ALL day. 😖🤢🤯
10/20 208.6#. I think I've been eating too much sugar or fat. I've had quite a bit of heartburn the last couple of days.

This is my third round. I think the best part of this challenge is that in recording the weight every day with a comment, I talk myself down from the hype that comes with weighing myself every day. It’s so easy to have the scale affect my mood. This challenge reminds me that my goal for the 10 days is to lose 1.5 – 3 lbs and puts the scale—the ups, the downs, the lack of movement, the ups and downs…into perspective! Thanks everyone and good luck this round!

10/19 - 173 - Sigh. Hope this is just like the last 10 days...the up before the down. Exercised & walked yesterday, ate within goals.

Ok, I was sick through the previous challenge so there were ups and downs... Now I'm feeling better and back to eating more and exercise. But I still cannot control my diet. However, I really have concrete goals for this challenge. I want to be 83 kg (182.9 lbs) at the end of the challenge.

10/15 - 85.3 kg (188 lbs)
Very bad way to start... I ate much more than when I was sick at the previous challenge, even I ate a vegetarian burger and chips (*facepalm*). At least I don't let myself to drink alcohol. Still, I don't think this is my real weight, I hope it's less than this.
10/16 - 85.1 kg (187.6 lbs)
Ok, going down better than nothing. Yesterday I ate enough not less not much just enough and nutritious. But I should eat less to lose weight. I still don't log my food, but I'm sure it was more than 1200 cal. I think I should start to log today, let's have a try.
10/17 - 84.1 kg (185.4 lbs)
I'm not sure what's going on. But I logged my food yesterday (after a long time) and ate about 1200-1300 cals and burned some cals at the gym and walked 15k steps. But still, I cannot trust the numbers, is my scale broken?
10/18 - 84.9 kg (187.1 lbs) (Before bathroom weight)
Yesterday I was stressed and PMS so I wanted to eat junk food and I did. However, I feel bad and went to the gym and worked hard. Also again, I logged my food, I took too many calories but still OK with that. I'm getting better.
10/19 - 84.9 kg (187.1 lbs)
Yesterday, I ate pasta for dinner and I was really full. Other than, everything was good, I logged my foods and that was ok.
10/20 - 84.5 kg (186.2 lbs)
Yesterday I was feeling sad and stressed, I didn't find a way to deal with those feelings and ate a chocolate bar. Otherwise, I had been logging my food until the chocolate and I was doing well.
10/21 - 84.9 kg (187.1 lbs)
I have a presentation at a conference tomorrow morning and I've been stressed a lot through the whole week. I couldn't work enough and ate because of stress. And also because of the stress, my stomach has been so bad these days... I kinda give up for this challenge I'll be better at next one.

Round 56
OSW: 74kg May 2018
GW: below 70kg in Oct and stay there
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.10/20 70.5kg, it's moving!
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.
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, 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').
10/21 70kg!!! YAY, let's see if it sticks.
Really enjoyed my day off logging and satisfied my cravings. I have noticed that many of the snacks ans sweets I used to eat are not as satisfying as they used to be. Which is good to know as I won't be wasting my calories on those going forward. Easy start to the day, but will go for a run in the lovely sunshine soon.

@lolakinks don't give up. It's all about staying on track and the detours are part of it. Keep logging and posting and then you'll feel great and moticated about having completed the round. Make that your goal, not that you see a loss. And good luck at the conference!
@jerier @deepwoodslady thank you9 -
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.

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!

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.

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!

My doggy girl Lily had a bad day yesterday (she has a variety of signs that suggest cancer), so we, too, had a bad, long day, but she's much more chipper this morning. She's a reminder to cherish those we love, to take things one day at a time, and to live in the moment. And to play & be silly!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 - 161.6 back on wagon for 3 days and fingers crossed the scale will budge
10/16 - 160.4 (-1.2) well after sacrificing Thanksgiving leftovers to the Glucose Gods at the alter of the green bin they have rid me of a lb of flesh. Learned alot this last round. Off to build a bunker so food is safe over Christmas.
10/17 - 159.6 (-0.8)
10/18 - 158.8 (-0.8)
10/19 - 158.0 (-0.8) I got on scale twice today. Usually I do that when I gain weight to will the numbers to go down. This time I did it because I could not believe it. Xgiving aside, I do not have CRAVINGS. I am not hungry. I am not eating rubbish from cardboard boxes that taste like you've licked the wrong end of a skunk. I eat chicken, salad WITH oil, pork, broccoli, and now tomato salad with cucumbers etc. I do NOT eat carrots, milk products, beets, handfuls of nuts and brown rice and G2 - all stuff I ate thinking I was eating healthy and yet for me kept the scale from budging. Type 2 diabetes runs in my family - eating Low glucose foods, "proteins&greens" has worked for me. I share this to encourage those out there who like me, thought this was plonk and thought they would try counting points one more time or whatever-diet-out there limits carbs and high glucose foods and then gets nowhere and beats themselves up over failing again. It is not you. It is not your exercise program or lack thereof.
It might be high sugar/carb foods you are eating. Try it. I am not a doctor so check with yours to make sure. Read about the doc poon. I keep my MFP macro at 10/30/60 - carb/fat/protein. I read labels now and if the Net carbs are greater than 2 per servings I put it back. I only eat unprocessed foods like mum made. I cook turkey chicken etc in big quantities and freeze it into meal portions.
Why am I blithering? I wish I had done this long ago - mind you if I did WW would be broke! LOL. It is a good program it just did not work for me because I was not counting my total carbs and eating too many carrots, corn, beets, yogurt which for me did not work. Stop beating yourself up i would say to myself, try something different - it took an endocrinologist who understands Type 2 diabetes to say - try this, it works for people like you.
I hope you all keep looking to find the tool that works for you and don't beat yourselves up. Be good to yourself today.

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.
10/21— 146.2 Spent a lot of time in the car.
