15th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Last round was a gain but now into the winter routine and hoping to shed the gain from the last 2 rounds and be back to 159 or under.
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. This is less than 1 lb. per round but as I realize that may not be possible as I get lower (1 lb per round would put me at 131).

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.
10/23 – 161.8 – Well, got my leaves done and my arms are sore but it’s not showing up yet.
10/24 – 161.6 – Stressful morning yesterday and then had grocery shopping and a bunch of errands to do – not a good combination. Did quite well on the shopping but as I’m looking everywhere for manure for my garden project and not finding it, I notice traditional Halloween candies on sale. I love molasses and haven’t seen them for a number of years so of course bought them. After eating 10-15 over the rest of the day, I threw them out. They didn’t even taste that good. So it was a win in that I did not stow them away and end up eating them all (it was a fairly large bag intended for Halloween treats). I should have just walked away and thought, “I don’t like or need that.”

10/15 148.6 MadisonMolly2017 You're losing so consistently, it's very inspiring.

10/16 147.8 It's a meeting day, so I have to go in prepared. Some of you post you TOMs. Why is that? Does your weight fluctuate?

10/17 149.4 I gorged on vegetables before my meeting so I wouldn't be tempted with the chips and chocolates. I resisted!!!! yay me! My anxiety was up, but I resisted. I did go over on my calories a little bit and had a lot of salt. I can bring this down by drinking lots of water when I get home. I can't drink at work.

10/18 148.8 I made an amazing tandoori chicken on the grill last night. My sons are eager to start eating healthy too, so I'm motivated to cook really healthy foods.

10/22 150.1 feeling totally defeated. Thanks, @quiltinjaine I'll look at the video when I get home. Maybe it's that I'm frustrated because of my shoulder issues, maybe I'm hormonal, definitely I'm feeling sorry for myself and need to get over it. I'll try for a better day.

10/23 149.0 Followed my eating plan and had over 10,000 steps. Feel so much better after eating healthy and drinking lots of water. I won't get to my goal this round, but I'm learning a lot about myself. I

Gonna try this! (#1) Thanks @Grandmajackie!

Rules of my game plan...log EVERYTHING!, no eating 7p-7a, no eating while packing lunches...exercise everyday (no matter what!) and try to breathe!

10/15 / 152.4 / oh lordy how did I get here!? lol, onward! I know, thanks to my friends very full length pic of me!

10/16 / day 2 feeling good! No broken rules yet!

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. 149 - I'm good with that.

10/23 / day 9 148.6 I feel great. Energy level is up, back pain down , spirit is up! Woooo! My not so great Sat nite, is behind me. Looking forward to Round 57. This really made the 10 days fly. Thank you to everyone!!

10/24 / day 10 of 10 ---148.0!! (-4 for the round!!) I never thought logging food/exercise AND my daily feelings? (eek! so not me) would help but I think it really did. I hope round #57 kicks off tomorrow. It will for me! Hope to see everyone returning and some newbies! Thanks again for all the support and to @GrandmaJackie!

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.
10/23 165.8 Obviously, my scale is scared. I weighed 3 times, just in case the reading might change. Thor and I increased our walk to 4 miles yesterday. I hope Thor’s up to running with me, because after our walks increase to 5 miles, we’re going to start C25K. I can hardly wait!
10/24 165.2 I still may need a new scale—it was a little squirrelly this morning. I knew the first reading was too low. I reweighed several times, and this number came up 3 times, so I’m going with this one. I’m pleased with my finish for this round, down 4 lb. My 6'3" husband has experienced stomach issues the last few years, and I outweighed him--totally unacceptable. I'm under his weight now, but I still have goals to meet. It's tricky trying to fatten him up while slimming me down. I've been good about ignoring his snacks. Well, I did eat one M&M last night. I wanted to walk this morning, but not in the rain. Thor wouldn’t mind, but I’m a wimp in the rain. So, I reviewed the burn basics on my Chalean Extreme strength training DVD set. I don’t want to hurt myself by lifting improperly. Praying this was a good, or at least enlightening, round for each of you. See you in Round 57!

I didn't count yesterday but only ate dinner. My husband cooked. Something in it bothered my stomach and I am not feeling great today.

10/17 / 164.8 / -1.1
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.

10/15: 250.6 - ate too much

10/16: 248.8 - hoping I have a good drop this round.

10/17: nwt - forgot to step on the scale.

10/18: 250 - I've been having a hard time staying within my calories because people keep bringing treats to work. I have to stop accepting them but it's so hard. I plan to do better starting today! No more snacking and I'm going to stick to my meal plan! I'm also going to do 30 minutes of cardio each night if not more. I need to get this weight off so I can reward myself and go shopping. I told myself I can't buy new clothes until I drop another dress size.

10/19: 247.8 - stuck to my calories and got on the stationary bike for an hour. I'll try to stick to this again today!

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!
10/23 175 - Yesterday was a totally crazy day at work and I one point I began to feel overwhelmed. When I got home, I was considering a glass of wine or some cider but we had neither. Which worked out! I spent the evening just relaxing. Today, I'm working just half a shift because I have a dentist appointment. I'm actually kind of looking forward to it. I haven't been able to eat things like salad in at least a week. I've been choosing things that are easy to chew. It'll be nice to eat normally again! I do want to meet my minimum step goal today. Have a great day everyone!
10/24 173.2 - Woo hoo! I had a mini goal of 173 pounds and I wasn't sure I was going to make it this round. But here it is!
I did not meet my step goal yesterday. I was hurting pretty bad after my dentist appointment so I spent the rest of the day resting. Doing much better today. I might still try and get some exercise in today so I can complete my goal of 6 days of exercise during this challenge. Will update you later!

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
10/21 207.6#. Plesant surprise, I was actually expecting this to be up today. I'm happy with how today went. Still battling heartburn. I'll have to try to pinpoint it.
10/22 206.2#. Terrible, terrible 🍕🍕🍕🥗🍕🍗🍕🍕
10/23 207.8# tough day today. I did manage to stay under 2,000 calories. I fought off the urge to splurge on ice cream! I can't believe it! I'm happy with how it went.
10/24 208#. Down 0.8# for this round. I did not end the round well. It was a terrible week! Ended up being too busy and having to order take out way too much! Hoping for a better next round.
AW 208#.
