Round 55: SW 175.8 EW 177
🎯Mini Goal: 173
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.
10/21 174.8 - It was a fun day yesterday! My son had a cross country meet. We were freezing, but it was fun! He and I took a walk beforehand and we both jogged a little.
I had an exciting NSV! When I was getting dressed for the meet, I pulled a pair of jeans on and realized they felt different. I've been wearing my size 16 jeans even though they're slightly loose. These jeans fit comfortably. I quick like pulled them down to check the size and did a happy dance! They were the size 12 jeans I had bought last year! I had bought them last November and was so excited to be in a smaller size. By the end of January, they would no longer fit me, being much too tight. I'm so excited to be able to wear them again!
Tonight I have a family dinner and I'm going to do my best to stay on track.
Exercise 4/6 complete!
10/22 175.6 - I got in a short hiit workout yesterday. Yesterday as pretty good. I feel like I ate pretty well, I did have a family dinner and I didn’t do a bunch of snacking, which is a win for me. Tomorrow will be better. Exercise 5/6 is complete!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 - 150 - No surprise there, I had spaghetti both Saturday and Sunday night (within calories) and very little water.
10/16 - 149.5 - Nice to see this morning. More water today!
10/17 - 149 - I'm having lunch with a client today, so I'm glad I'm down a little more. He's taking me to a private restaurant at his club, so there is no online menu for me to pre-plan my meal. Nine months ago I wouldn't have though twice about it. Now, I'm going to take the advice that I've learned here and make the best choices I can to mitigate the damages for tomorrow's weigh in.
10/18 - 148 - Surprise! I ordered the baked cod for my business lunch yesterday (it would not have been my choice earlier this year) and this morning I'm happy I did.
10/19 - 148 - I fully expected a bounce back this morning as that is usually what happens after a new low. This is a nice weight to go into the weekend for me.
10/20 - 147.5 - Wow, I had a piece of pizza last night and expected the sodium to bump me up. It will probably hit tomorrow. I will say that having just adopted our new dog last week, my steps have definitely gone up. If I think about it, my weight loss started slowing too when our old dog died in July. I've read before how a dog helps people stay fit, it just never occurred to me that our previous dog probably kept me from gaining even more weight.
10/21 - 147.5 - I ate at maintenance calories yesterday and weight loss calories today, but I had a lot of sodium so tomorrow I'll probably see a bump up.
10/22 - 148.5 - There it is! I'll be drinking my water and sticking to my weight loss calories this week.

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.

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!
10/22 - 135 - 1251 - 10-day ave 1216
One more week and I can start adding food back into my diet - yay! The countdown has begun.... ( think my DH, who does most of the cooking, is more excited than I am. )

10/15 - 193.5 woohoo! Started to change my habit of eating a snack after 10pm.. I don’t go to sleep until 1am but I’m sure late night snacking is not helping.
10/16 - 192.5 is not night snacking that effective?? Maybe it’s avoiding peanut butter.. I’ve been kind of obsessed lately lol
10/17 - 192.5! Alright! It’s real!
10/18 - 192.5
10/19 - 191.5 I don’t think I’m eating enough... haven’t had a chance to eat all that I need to. Very sick toddler and a baby.. I’m exhausted
10/20 - didn’t weigh
10/21 - 195 omg. Had a wedding yesterday and went totally overboard.. also the water tasted so gross I didn’t drink any all day or night. Hopefully tomorrow’s weigh in will bring me back

10/15 - Monday - 183.4 - Birthday celebrations increase - to be expected. Gave myself some grace this weekend and getting back at it today!
10/16 - Tuesday - 184.2 - Did NOT get back at it yesterday. Mom wanted pasta and any excuse is a good excuse for pasta to me. Then I continued the gluttony with a brownie after dinner that made my tummy hurt. And now I am REALLY getting back to it today. Had smoothie, fish oil and took meds already this morning. Going to prelog the day and make it a good one, no matter what I eat - I will eat the correct portion size.
10/17 - Wednesday - 184.0 - House guest kindly bought us pizza for dinner as a thank you last night - I had no self control and ate 3 pieces and was hungrier after so I kept eating like the hungry caterpillar. Oh well moving on! Missed my morning goals to trade for extra snuggle time. If I've learned anything so far - its that I just gotta keep trying, despite the trips, stumbles, and falls!
10/18 - Thursday - 181.2 - Alright! Not enough water yesterday. Working on that today. Kept dinner reasonable yesterday with leftover soup and a piece of bread and butter. I wanted something sweet after so badly but fortunately we didn't have anything! Prelogged today and its helping me stay on track better, even when things change I know where I'm at better than logging after the fact. Did 10 minutes of stretching and core work last night - just enough to feel my muscle work and get some endorphins flowing - then took a sauna and relaxed myself to bed early! Wasnt able to get up when I first woke - rolled around til 7 - really need to stop doing that and wake up with the stretching in the morning too maybe - it made me feel great! Started the day with smoothie and fish oil and even remembered my meds! My libra weight trend app started really getting me down as it showed my 170 goal wont be achieved until JUNE! I want to be 150 by june! But it's not the apps fault Its just been a ton of celebrating and that is something I'm learning how to work through, emotional eating as celebration is just as damaging as emotional eating to ease pain so I'm working on that especially during this upcoming season of celebrations!
10/19 - 180.0 - A super strong day yesterday. Hit all my goals yesterday and mostly this morning (failed to wake up early - always and forever a struggle). No packed lunch but craving a salad for lunch so Wendys salad it is. Still 600 calories but it's a treat! And I was looking at some other restaurant salads - 1200 calories!!! We have friends coming over tonight and I'm not sure dinner plans either. Rolling with it but making better choices this weekend because that is where I fall short and have ended up losing and gaining these same 4 lbs for the past month and a half.
10/20 - Saturday - 177.0
10/21 - Sunday - 180.0
10/22 - Monday - 183.0 - Aaaaand I did not make better choices this weekend. Friday turned into an impromptu party at our house. I have not stayed up that late in forever. Worth it though - have not connected like that in a while. But the lowest weight Saturday was surely dehydration. Then PMS and hangover turned into an ugly monster and we cooked ALL DAY LONG just to be gluttons. This was not the food prep I had longed for lol oh no - it was pea soup and buffalo chicken mac and cheese and mulled cider and on and on. And then Sunday was the pot luck and I honestly did OK - not great but OK. TOM arrived this morning and I'm so bloated and what did I do? Stopped for a breakfast sandwich at dunks! Then I'm suddenly reminded that as winter approaches spring is that much closer too! And spring means the next phase of goals - be baby ready! So I'm letting my goals inspire me again. Letting the fire ignite my soul again so I can figure out how to navigate this season of celebrations without using food to celebrate every single time. Committing to being present here on the weekends again to be accountable!

Get 5 servings of fruits/veggies every day.
Stay under my calorie goal of 1,500.
Exercise:
Walk at least an hour 3 days a week.
Weight training 1 day a week
Other 1 day a week for an hour (biking/tennis/water aerobics or walking if nothing more fun is available)
Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 - 191 The first day back at work after being sick. Hope to return to exercise routine tomorrow.
10/16 - 192.2 Worked out at the gym over an hour (drove for 3.5 hours to St. Louis)
10/17 - no scale traveling. Walked 3 rough miles (included 150 steps back up a steep hill)
10/18 - no scale traveling. Walked 3 miles (drove 3.5 hours back to K.C. and still walked!)
10/19 - 193.3 Hopefully just retained water, I stayed within calories goals. I will rest today and go for a 4 mile walk tomorrow.
10/20 - 191.6 Did not make the long walk but did walk around the pumpkin patch for 3 hours. Sometimes carrying a squirming 22 pound baby, that should count right??
10/21 - 191.6 I’m definitely walking today. I need it!
10/22 - 192.2 I walked 5 miles yesterday. Which made it seem OK to have that 2nd pumpkin doughnut... Dang it! I am not going to make my goal for this round. I need to be more realistic next round. I just hope to be belong my starting current weight.
Though I have stayed in my calorie goal everyday this round.

10/16 - 180.1 - Darn it!
10/17 – 179.9 – Yay!
10/18 – 179.7 – Not feeling hungry at all, but feeling thinner. I wish everyday was like this.
10/19 - 180.0 - Today is "Weigh-in" day and I'm down -2.2 for the week. I'm upping my calories for the next 2 days so I am preparing myself for a slight increase on the scale.
10/20 - 179.7 - I'll take it!
10/21 - 179.7 - Went to Six Flags yesterday, walked a lot, burned a lot of calories. I guestimated what I ate calories wise and being conservative I think I only went over by 100. I am definitely taking a rest day today. Feeling motivated.
10/22 - 180.6 - Did everything right, I've had large deficits the past 10+ days and I've only lost 1.6. I'm thinking it's hormonal, ovulation maybe?? Idk. I'm about to stop weighing if it's going to affect me like this all the time. I feel like I've lost weight, 1/2" off my waist, yet the scale is messing with my head. Not sure about stepping on the scale anymore. Maybe just once a month. Still trying to decide on what I want to do. One thing is for sure, I AM NOT GIVING UP. I have to lose this weight for so many reasons. The scale is trying to break my spirit.

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.
10/21 176.2 For a second the scale flashed 175.8 - maybe before the end of the round I can make that real.
10/22 176.2 humph! I have a cold - so don't have the energy to rethink my strategy right now - will just try to stick with the plan until my energy levels pick up and then if i am still marooned here at 176 i will do a rethink.

Day/Weight/Comment
🎀 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.
🎀 10/20 - 177.6
🎀10/21 - 178.2 - A litttle bit higher carbs yesterday, but not enough to cause this weight uptick. Just normal. Celebrating my Grandson's birthday today. He turned 2 yesterday. I have no clue what the carb grams could be today. Taking a fatty dip and vegetables with me. Tomorrow, the rest of the carby story. Smh.
🎀10/22 - 177.4 - I'll find out tomorrow if that weight will stand for more than a day, because here is the rest of yesterday's story. 130g carbs, 117g net carbs. 84.9 ozs water +52ozs other fluids (coffee and wine) 100 quick add calories, because I ate chocolate frosting off my fingers after wrapping cake for the freezer. I know it had to be at least 100 calories. BTW, that cake was 790 calories per 7oz slice! I asked my son to get his wifes food scale out. His MIL said "Tish, you gonna weigh the cake?" I said yes and ate 1/4 of it. I just remembered before going to sleep last night, 6ozs of chardonnay I drank. 3ozs I asked for, 3ozs my DIL added to my cup without permission. I drank it though😂 So add 93 calories and 3.1 grams more of carbs to the carnage.

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.

10/17 - 181.4 - apparently I'm able to maintain at this weight very well.
10/18 - 181.2 - Too many carbs again yesterday.
10/19 - 181.0 - oh so slow....
10/20 - 181.2 - ate KFC yesterday and I know better.
10/21 - 181.4
10/22 - 181.4 - This is not going to be a good round. I am so disappointed in myself, I'm not sure where my discipline has gone lately but I really need to find it again.

@abowersgirl - thank you for your post - it made me hopeful. Your self awareness and your determination to manage your mental as well as your physical health are fantastic. Your description of yourself as 'a self nagging perfectionist who is also a pessimist" also fits my 18 y/o. He will not accept any praise or acknowledgement from others nor give himself credit for what he accomplishes and so for the most part he does nothing. I really hope that as he gets older he can learn a little of your perspective and determination. I think that learning to manage your thoughts and emotions is hard work, but definitely worth it! keep on keeping on - you are a inspiring example for me.6

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.
10/21 - 209.0 - looks like the salt caught up to me. I had one slice of pizza last night and that really put me over. I also only got half my steps for the day. Drinking a lake today and walking more.
10/22 - 208.0 - and the salt is going away. Although I up since Friday this is probably the least amount I have gained over a weekend in a long time so I’m feeling pretty happy right now. My food is all planned out for today. Planned a walk at lunch so just need to make sure I get my water in again today.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15- 184.2- good thing this went back down. Weekend didn't go as well as it could have to be honest but I packed a really healthy lunch today and the day has been good so far! Will go to the gym to workout later in the day after my class. I'm a little behind on biochemistry due to my biology exam last week so will be catching up on that today until class starts.
10/16- 184.4- Not upset over this. I think it will be better tomorrow. I worked out yesterday. Won't be able to today. Have a lot of studying to do today.
10/17- 184.0- Yay. Hopefully I'll be 183.something tomorrow? I've been eating on the higher range of my calorie goal this past week so I'm going to try to eat on the lower side today and get a bunch studying done. So far so good.
10/18- 184.6- lol omg.
10/19- 185.0- okay. No. We're not doing this. I know the scale will probably be even higher tomorrow as well so I'm anticipating that but starting tomorrow we're going back to the previous week's meals because those gave me much better results. We're trying to get to at least 182. Here we go!
10/20- 186.0- It's okay. We're back to business today even though it's Saturday lol
10/21- 185.7- This will go down more tomorrow. I'm sure of it.
10/22- 184.8- slow and steady. will do the same thing today and hopefully it'll keep going lower. I'll try to end in 183.something by being under calories today and tomorrow. Not quitting or taking a break until I get to 180.0 this time. Can't keep relapsing.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

10/19 132.5 Early weigh in. Not drinking enough water x at least 3 days. Cooler/rainy weather in Oklahoma followed by 2 days in the car. Only drank about 1.5 qt yesterday. I need a nap.

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.
10/21 167.6 I may have to buy a new scale. I feel cheated. Oh, well. I had to get an early start and meet the gospel group I sing with for a couple of engagements today. I can walk tomorrow morning, and, perhaps, the scale will behave better in a couple of days. If I don’t get better numbers before the end of the round—out it goes!
10/22 166.8 Okay, my scale is back on track and has earned a reprieve. 😊 Thor and I are heading out for our walk in the cool, fall air.

Edited to add: I figured it out. There's a breakfast recipe I entered a long time ago and we had that yesterday (popovers). They are well within calories but the sodium came out so freakishly high that I assumed MFP couldn't accurately account for the sodium. Let's see how a day of all the water works tomorrow.9 -

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!
10/21 150.5 forgot to post- I did not over eat at the mexican restaurant yesterday.
10/22 150.5 Yesterday was homecoming at my church so there was tons of food. I didn't eat too bad, but had sweet tea which I normally skip and dessert. I know eating like this some of the times is ok, but also know if I keep eating like I have this weekend my weight will creep back up! Staying mindful of this. Happy my weight maintained through the weekend though!

End of round 55: 194.6
Day/Weight/comment
10/15: 196.2 -- what? This is the highest weight that I've seen in a while and it is super discouraging. I've been logging religiously and working out- I guess I've got to lower my calories.
10/16: no weight, work travel
10/17: no weight, work travel
10/18: 196.2 -- STILL. I guess this isn't surprising. I was very sedentary the last few days and the work trip came with lots of eating events. I am bummed though because I was hoping the 196 number was a fluke. I guess I need to own it. Today my goal is to stick within my calorie range and show a big deficit. I also want to get my body movin'!
10/19: 194.2 -- this seems a little back to normal. I did pretty good with my food yesterday but my portion sizes were a bit too large last night at dinner. I did make it to lunchtime spin class which was a feat given my crazy schedule yesterday. Today is Friday and I've got a super healthy lunch packed. Planning to hit the gym at lunch- or maybe head outside for a run if the sun comes out. I've had a long week at work and I'm looking forward to the weekend.
10/20: 193.6 -- Yay it's Saturday! It's beautiful weather, and I'm headed to a great afternoon party at a friend's farm this afternoon. Weight down a little. Yesterday I ran for 2 miles after work even though I did not feel like it AT ALL. I kept trying to talk myself out of it. Why do we do that to ourselves? Anyway, today I plan to get in a strength workout before heading to the party.
10/21: 195 -- What? Oh well. Party was fun and I had two IPAs so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm trying not to drink too much alcohol these days. I love having a glass or two of wine in the evenings and beer outdoors when the weather is nice, but I need to really limit my intake in order to meet my overall health goals. I do feel better when I don't drink. Before the party, I hammered out a strength training workout, it's been a while since I've done any strength stuff besides yoga, so I am going to feel this one!
10/22: 193.2 -- Monday, Monday. Yesterday was amazing- I hauled my horse down to the national forest with a friend and we rode for 5 hours on beautiful forest trails. My husband is the best for watching the kids so I could get one last good ride in before the rains come! It was a great workout and left me full of love and gratitude. Today it's back to work and the usual hustle and bustle of the week and trying to make everything work. I have no idea how to get in a workout today, honestly. Tomorrow I head on ANOTHER work trip, and I am a little nervous about making it all work, but I will do my best.

10/17 / day 3 challenging day at work so no lunch/no gym time : ( then starving at home but chose smartly (10 almonds) on my way to bus stop...no stuffing mouth with whatever I found in fridge (that's a WIN for me). Then normal dinner. Still no snacking after 7p! I almost broke the no ex. rule but found a way to sneak in a dog walk, albeit in a freak hail storm, behind my daughters dance studio..I should get an Oreo for that! Just kiddin. On my way to 130...I can almost taste it! ha, I kill me!
10/18 / day 4 getting on the scale today after my 30 in 30 class at noon!! fingers crossed!--> UPDATE DRUM ROLL....148.6 (-3.8)...ringing the bell!!! So happy, but cautious. This is the incentive I needed to make it thru the weekend. Football (GO SPARTANS and BILLS!!!) and 1st Halloween party 
. Good luck to everyone facing similar potentially ruff situs! 
10/19 / day 5/ 148.4 ...frivolous Friday!! BRING IT! No broken rules.
10/20 / day 6/ ...Football (GO SPARTANS!)/Halloween party!... PARTY - 2 beers and 1 GF brownie which was (oh lordy..so good!). For the day +40c/+40sugar/+16carbs and 2 broken rules!! 1. I did not exercise, unless cheering at the SPARTANS game counts!, and 2. I ate after 7p...the party started at 7p! Still I felt good about the day..mainly cause the SPARTANS lost BUT the score was 13 14..which for us, is amazing!! What a great way to end the season...BILLS?...not so much.
10/21 / day 7...back at it. No broken rules. Feeling good!
10/22 / day 8 - time is flying. Gonna jump on the scale at lunch (after workout). I'm a bit nervous.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 – 161.9 - Early to the gym today as hubby needed the car so posting late. Sure feels good to have worked the muscles a bit.
10/16 - 162 – Argh, the last few weeks coming home to roost. Having fed the cravings monster faithfully, now have to beat it back and kick it out. Listened to Youtube last night and someone made an aside comment about the theory that what we eat promotes certain bacteria in our gut so if we eat lots of sugar/carbs we will crave that because that is what our gut bacteria now want.
10/17 - 161.4 Gym today. Got some apples in the house again. They are so good at this time of year and keep me from other desserts/snacks.
10/18 - 161.2
10/19 - 160.8 – Good day yesterday. Still a little over cals. but not with sugar/fat. Got a few things done that have been sitting there forever it seems. One was so fast I can’t believe I procrastinated on it so long. The other is slow, as I guessed it would be, but at least I can see it chipping away.
10/20 - 162 – Sigh, LNS again, at least not too bad on the calories. Have to wonder why what seems so self-sabotaging in the morning can seem so reasonable at night. Need to think – “Will I regret this tomorrow morning?” not “This won’t really matter, I can get away with it because I went to the gym.”
10/21
10/22 – 160.6 - This is better, but need some days within my cals. to get out of the 160’s. No gym today as I need to get the leaves raked while they are still dry for my leaf chopper. Thankful for the beautiful crisp fall weather we’ve been having but also ready to be finished with outside jobs. We usually get cold rain/snow for Halloween and then freezing temps. through Nov. with the real snow coming later that month.

What great insight! You are absolutely right! We must be as mindful of our thoughts as we are about ALL the other aspects of our plan. I, too, will make this a goal.
BTW - Your thoughts, your ideas and your plans are never a rant. They are a part of your testimony and we appeciate you sharing. We learn so much from eachother! Continue to celebrate hitting and maintaining in the 140's from 230 lbs! You are doing fantastic because you DO come at this from every angle. While you celebrate your success, know how much we appreciate your sharing the above insight. It will help us all.

Feeling better today, met a friend at the park with my sons. I have various food allergies and intolerances and pork has been disagreeing with me lately. I think that is what made me sick before.
