11/04 149.8 last night I binged and got in very little exercise, mostly Pokemon go hunting. I am not worried about the gain because I asked for it. I suspect tomorrow's number will be higher because today wasn't looking good either...but that's it!!! No backwards motion just forwards. This week will be better for sure!! I am going hard and putting this wash of a week behind me.

11/05 150.4 This is what happens when you go on a major binge but I expected it and I am not worried. I know what I did wrong and I know what to do to get back on track and fix it. To be honest I thought it would be more, my eating habits have been disgusting this weekend and I am definitley feeling gross. I have a busy week ahead of me and this week is another crazy exercise week so I am hoping it comes off as easy as it was to put on...even if that is not realistic, I am still holding my head high. No more jumping off the horse until Christmas...my "fun" is done.

11/06 149.2 and down we go. Ate within calories but didn't get enough exercise in or water. My head was just not into it yesterday..but today will be different!!

11/07 147.6!! whoooooosh! I am so happy!! I am 30 pounds down from when I started this!! (Although I don't think I put that start weight down on my MFP progress page, I waited a couple pounds before starting my tracking..which is sort of annoying because I did go back to fix that but it didn't register..ahh well that means i will loose 30 pounds twice 😉) who would have guessed i would be this close to my lowest weight in four short months. Once again I would like to thank everyone on this page!!! I would have never done it without all of you!! Exercised good yesterday, a little over 1 liter of water and stayed under calories

I don't have high expectations for November - this is usually when I say to heck with it and start gaining it all back, so if I can maintain that would be a big improvement. ( btw, according to my son, heck is where you get danged to if you don't believe in Gosh)

Back again! Just noticed yesterday (goal date) I was under my second short term goal weight despite the slight stall - so even though I've felt really "behind" in my journey I think I've found my patience again and I'm happy where I'm at.

11/04 - Sunday - 179.6 - NSV on Saturday - went to moms to clean and help her unpack. She wanted to order from the pizza place (she has healthy habits so tends to use me as an excuse to "celebrate") but I said no thanks and had tuna and a salad! Then on Sunday - daylight savings morning was slow, lazy, and snuggly and I loved it. Went out running errands in the afternoon. Started a pot roast and headed out to clean up the yard. DH used to leaf blower, I raked up big piles, and we moved the tarp together for about 2 hours, but about 1 hour of active raking. I didnt eat enough protein in the day so I was super snacky after dinner but I managed to reign it in.
11/05 - Monday - 179.2 - A loss on a Monday?!!!?! Look what happens when I stay accountable on the weekends! Woohoo! Need to pick up a short list of things at the store before heading home after work. Milk, coffee, and shampoo. I want to make a crustless quiche tonight for breakfasts for the week, we got some yummy ham at the farm. Fish oil habit is coming back around and I started taking elderberry extract as everyone is sick! 10 minutes of yoga is also turning into a habit! Feels good to take care of myself!
11/06 - Tuesday - 179.4 - Munchies hit me last night but I did a decent job managing with just 6 chips and a fruit leather. I filled half my plate with broccoli at dinner and tried to fill up on that because I knew I was starving but didnt want to binge on pasta - needed more protein though which was apparent when the munchies hit me at like 8:30 - all good things to learn from though. Busy at work - reminding myself that I do better is most aspects of my life with MORE STRUCTURE. That includes work, health, finances, relationships. My morning habits are becoming solid again, I made sure to hang up all laundry last night, I've got several dinners ready to go, stress management has been improving - I'm finding my rhythm again!
11/07 - 178.6 - Feeling great! Saw a quote, "Non attachment is self love" speaking in regards to our ever changing body. Especially as women. I'm on this journey to better health, but I'm trying to love my body at every stage. I think for me, it's a huge part of this process, to learn healthy body image and self love. I've come a long way - I'm appreciating that my body is strong, gets me through each day relatively pain free, allows me mobility to do, go, see, be whatever I want to be! And the end goal being to get pregnant, I'm really trying to wrap my mind around "non-attachment as self love" because this body of mine is going to be changing thru many seasons and I want to love and appreciate all of those stages, not just an end result.

Day/Weight/Comment

11/4 - 177 - I think I'm back to 176.6. I'm going to visit my littles today, so I got up early to make them some macaroni and cheese. I started drinking my coffee before I realized that I hadn't weighed yet.
11/5 - 175.2 🤔 - Ooookay. I did eat macaroni and cheese and a salad with a burger my son cooked. Then a treat size bag of pretzels? and a mini twix that my Grandson gave me from his Halloween pumpkin. He got SO excited telling me about trick or treating. He's two, so you can imagine.
11/6 - 177.4 - I guess my weight will just swing wildly through the 170's. Nothing to do but be patient and wait it out.

11/05 WEIGH IN DAY 146.8 Amazing! Super stoked to be back on the downward trend!
11/06 148 Oops. Over by 1000 calories yesterday. Had a mini melt-down when I did a head count for our Thanksgiving dinner that we are hosting and came up with 50 adults. Today is a new day, making the triple threat cuke-pars-lemon water and will get rid of this bloat and headache. Just another lesson being human, not perfect, just me. "@tlgale we've all been there

, just remember when you do go off the rails, a lot of the pounds you see on the scale are water retention from increased carbs/sodium. To gain a pound of fat you need to eat 3500 calories over maintenance, not just over your MFP calorie goal. One or two bad days of eating doesn't make you fat, one or two good days of eating doesn't make you thin, it's what you do most of the time that matters."

11/07 146.6 Pizza bloat is gone, whew! We order pizza about once a month when I don't feel like cooking, and it definitely does not make my body feel good.

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.

@gmiller725 Macros - carbs are a LIMIT, protein is a GOAL, fats are the LEVER. You don’t need to meet your fat macro. If I want “something” after dinner, I have a fat bomb. Currently have cream cheese fudge in the freezer.

@susiemcmac You are very tall for a “9 year old.” (hehe)

@tiabirdie56 Keep on swinging, Tish!

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.

11/4 131.0 I have not been drinking enough water the last couple of days. Cooler temps (yesterday a high of 80) make it more difficult for me to remember.
11/5 130.0 Got in almost 3 qts of water. Made a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich (on keto 90 second bread with almond flour) at 11AM and wasn’t hungry all day. Needed more protein so had a Premier Protein shake at 8PM. Meeting Amy at the gym at 2.
11/6 130.0 Didn’t get to the gym, tweaked something in my back or neck eating lunch! Now I’m wearing the C-collar again.
11/7 129.0 Yesterday I voted, got my flu shot and spent almost an hour at the gym with my friend. After our workout we stood in the parking lot planning our visits until Thanksgiving. What has happened to us? We are looking forward to our gym time?!?

11/07 147.6!! whoooooosh! I am so happy!! I am 30 pounds down from when I started this!! (Although I don't think I put that start weight down on my MFP progress page, I waited a couple pounds before starting my tracking..which is sort of annoying because I did go back to fix that but it didn't register..ahh well that means i will loose 30 pounds twice 😉) who would have guessed i would be this close to my lowest weight in four short months. Once again I would like to thank everyone on this page!!! I would have never done it without all of you!! Exercised good yesterday, a little over 1 liter of water and stayed under calories

Congrats on that recent 30 pound loss! Success.....Success.....Success

****************************************************************************************

@quiltingjaine In the last round you mentioned a keto casserole you made. Do tell......
BTW, back in the 80's I also did the 60 gr carb diet. It was basically an Atkins. We didn't do the net carb thing, just straight carbs. It really worked. That's what I was looking for online when I bumped into "keto" information and decided it was exactly what I needed. I enjoy every minute of it, and it works even better than Atkins. Not just on my weight, but on my blood glucose too (T2D here). I just really really struggle when I go out of town (which I have to do a lot). Every big city and their offerings are like vacation to me. You are right, it is a lifestyle and I am trying every trick in the book to get a grip when I travel. Some trips are better than others. 4 days out of town this week.....ugg. My days at home are never the problem because I have incorporated my keto into my everyday lifestyle and found it to be easy and enjoyable to do. But those far-away restaurants,
I just haven't mastered it yet. The temptations are overwhelming. However, I have made improvements and I truly never give up. My journey is not yet over..... I continue to learn so much from MFP and specifically this challenge. Thanks for your continuing support and tips.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 177.2 My body seems to like this number, even if I don’t. Yesterday I felt so strong and capable and that made sticking to plan and getting in my steps very easy. I am starting today also feeling strong and confident so I’m hoping I can get through all those inevitable temptations. Tomorrow is a different story. I will be traveling out of town to celebrate my daughter’s 24th birthday with a movie, a restaurant and some shopping. I will stick to plan before and after the excursion but I will ultimately enjoy the middle as we celebrate. I will try not to go overboard, but carbs add up quickly. I will be bringing home fresh parsley, cucumber and lemons for the “triple threat” concoction to offset any water bloat from the birthday lunch.
11/05 - 177.2 Great day again yesterday. Stayed with plan yet no budge on the scales. Ugg. Travel today a couple of hours away to a real Mall (that is a luxury for me!) Lots of things to experience today. I will be off plan but I will try to be reasonable. Have a great week everyone!
11/06 -179.0 Enjoyed the trip but stayed way longer than expected due to shopping. Multiple restaurant meals. The only NSV was that I managed to skip some pretty tempting desserts and just stick to meals. The movie “A Star is Born” was very good. I saw the remake in the 1970’s and it is a bit different. Lady Gaga is a phenomenal actress! And who thought she could only sing and play the piano? Bradley Cooper was excellent, as usual. I loved my time with my daughter. Since she had the baby last fall, we have not got to get away very often for fun out-of-town things. It was very nice. Tomorrow and Thursday is more travel. This is going to be a very bad round for me. I’m going to have to try to do my best but it won’t be good.
11/07 - 178.6 Was at home yesterday so I have a loss this morning. I do well at home sticking to my plan. My exercise has been way down in the past month since the cold. With no livingroom (renovation continues) I only have my work movement. That is a lot, but not continual like exercise. I hope to get moving again soon, even if it’s just marching in place I will be leaving in a few for another out of town trip to find a home depot and order carpet installation and utility room flooring. Have a great hump day everyone!

11/04 150 time for me to start taking this more serious especially on the days that I do not have a gathering because with the holidays coming up there will be a ton of temptations. Also need to do it for my body, I just feel yucky lately and I know it's the foods.
11/05 150 Went over yesterday on all my macros and didn't get enough exercise in. Gonna be a better day today:)
11/06 150 Yesterday was a much better day

. Stayed under on my macros but did end up eating back half of my exercise calories.
11/07 149.5 yay now lets not creep back up this round

I’ve only been maintaining but hoping to break down into the 170s for this round! Temptations will not do me in for this round!

11/6 180.8 I’m getting so close to that 179 mark I can taste it! Total lost so far is 7lbs and it amazes me how much better I feel only 7lbs lighter. Looking forward to adding on to that number! 👍

11/7 180.6 I bet this number would be better if I hadn’t had a couple of Halloween candy yesterday. Oh well, it’s a marathon and at least heading in the right direction.

19th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Last round was up and down and ultimately no change. Did get through without a major disaster which I will take as a win because there were a number of things would have tipped me over in the past. This round I have a good chance at a loss if I just hold steady and don’t allow any stress to have the upper hand.

Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2
Round 40 – on holidays, gain +1.6
Round 41 – SW 164.4, loss -2
Round 42 - SW: 162.6, loss -.6
Round 43 – SW 162, loss -.4
Round 44 – SW 161.6, loss -1.6
Round 45 – SW 160.8, gain +1
Round 46 – SW 161.8, gain +.6
Round 47 – SW 162.4, loss -2.2
Round 48 – SW 160.2, missed most of this round and Round 49 as I was away without computer or scale.
Round 50 – SW 160.2, loss -.8
Round 51 – SW 160.8, loss -1
Round 52 – on holidays, no scale
Round 53 – SW 159.8, loss -1.4
Round 54 – SW 158.4, gain +.6
Round 55 – SW 159.4, +2.4
Round 56 – SW 161.9, -.3
Round 57 – SW 161.6, No change

Round 58 – SW 161.6, GW 159.8

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
11/04
11/05 – 160.2 – A day late but off to a good start.
11/06 – 161.2 – Good day yesterday, went to the gym and started some new exercises to change it up a bit. Off to first class subbing this morning.
11/07 – 161.4 – Class went well – in fact, so well that I have most of the material that I need for next week already done. I had prepped quite a bit in case it was too easy for them. Managed to stay only slightly over cals. and no LNS

@FarmerCarla Did you get a metatarsal pad? I had to move it to a couple of spots before I found the “right” one.

!

I have the pads, and I've been using them, but I haven't found the sweet spot for long walks. My feet are wide, and I haven't found walking/running shoes with enough toe room. My D and EE width shoes haven't been wide enough. I may try some men's shoes. So far, only the long walks are giving me trouble. I'm hoping to get a fix before it becomes an "every time I'm on my feet" problem.

Male, 39
6'0"

Goal: Get BF% to 10-12%, then bulk. Around 15.1% at beginning of Round 58

Round 57: +2.6
SW for Round 58: 189.2 (15.1% BF)

11/04 - 190.6 - Water weight has been killing me the last week or so. Too much sodium. Will make a better effort to be more strict and accountable these next 10 days.

11/05 - 188.6 - Made really good food choices yesterday. Played and walked 18 holes of golf and bowled my Sunday night bowling league. Ended up over 16,000 steps on the day. Will try to make more good choices today and see if the water weight will continue to come off.

11/06 - 188.2 - Continuing the trend the right way. Over 10,000 steps. Had to abbreviate my lift yesterday because I got OKC Thunder tickets for last night's game. A little over on calories compared to my goal, but still comfortably in deficit. Will try to finish my lift today and get my cardio in as well.

11/07 - 185.6 - Boom! Thats what I'm talking about! Had a really good food consumption day and played 2 hours of full court basketball (burned over 1100 calories) and then went and finished my lift from Monday. Going to try to continue making good food choices (have a working lunch at work today with food provided so we will se how that goes). Onward and downward!

11/6 - 57.8kg (-0.7kg) Wow!!! I was expecting it to go down but not to this extent!!! I am so excited about this…I was really very careful about what I ate and stayed within calorie limit and spent some extra time in the gym…should not let go of all this hard work by just binging on junk…

Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 162.8 That’s more like it. Happy to be back for another round with all you (weight) losers! I ate about 2 cups of popcorn at the theater yesterday morning, and expected it to punish me, but I ate well the rest of the day. I was privileged to attend worship at my home church this morning! That meant missing a morning concert with my group, but I’ll be with them for two more concerts before this day ends. I’ll be on the road in a couple of hours. Thor, my GSD, and I are looking forward to a walk tomorrow morning.
11/05 162.8 I slept later than usual this morning. I stuck to low carbs yesterday, but, last night at IHOP, my sirloin steak tips (with mushrooms & onions) and spinach and broccoli sides was a larger meal than I’m used to eating. I guess it didn’t hurt me, unless it shows up tomorrow. At the moment, rain chances are low, so Thor and I are heading out for our walk.
11/06 162.8 Stuck in a rut here—mini plateau? Thor and I walked a little past our 4 mile point yesterday. My foot was hurting bad by the time we reached our water/prop my foot up spot, about ¾ mile from home. I have a podiatrist appointment after Thanksgiving. I won’t try to start running again until I have relief from the Morton’s Neuroma between my toes.
11/07 161.8 Finally, the scale gives me a break! It was too foggy to walk early this morning, and too hot to walk now. Where did Fall go? Thor is disappointed, but I need to knock out another tax class, pack for my trip, and do at least a dozen other chores before I leave Friday morning. I stayed up late watching election results last night. I probably wasn’t the only one. God bless America!

I would like to be at the bottom of the 150’s by the end of this round. Starting weight is 155. Would like to be 153.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/04 - 157.5 went up 2 pounds. Uuugghh! I knew it was going to be up. Yesterday I stepped on the scale and saw 155 for the first time. Officially down 20 pounds, so I overindulged and treated myself with a lot of food and a couple of beers. My biggest problem is I love to celebrate anything and everything with food and beer. Lol, had an amazing dinner with my hubby and probably had 1 to many drinks. Well worth it, no regrets, but trying to learn how to balance my celebrating. Drinking lots of water and back on track today. I’m sure it will be back down by tomorrow or the next day.
11/05 - 157.0 still up 2 pounds from Saturday, but the weekends are the hardest for me. Had a couple beers last night watching the game with my husband and pretty much just lounged all day. It was actually a very nice day. For some reason the older kids were home and decided to hang out and watch tv with us for most of it. Very unusual that they are home on the weekends. They wanted to order pizza, so we agreed. I had one piece and ate a salad. Drinking lots of water today and will stay in calories. Being at work really helps me stay on routine. Hopefully tomorrow I will see 155 again!
11/06 - 156.3 So back to Fridays weight, almost Saturdays weight. Did well last night, made teriyaki chicken and rice for the family. Put the chicken on a salad for myself and only had a couple of bites of rice while making the kids plates. Lots of water and no alcohol. Hopefully tomorrow I see that 155 again.
11/07 - 155.6 Nice! Back to Saturdays weight, lol. Forever bouncing around. Still down a pound for this month. Made great food choices last night and had plenty of water. Hubby's bday today, so hopefully we will celebrate with me choosing to eat a salad for dinner and not having to many glasses of beer. We will be off for the next 4 days, so wish me luck!

I derailed myself last year undoing a lot of good work. After a long absence from myfitnesspal I am back on track. This 10 day challenge seems like something I can do. I joined with Round 57. This is my 2nd consecutive round.

Age: 59
Sex: M
Height: 5ft 10 1/2"
HW: 313 lbs (reached twice, sad to say)
Pre-challenge SW: 313 lbs (started back at myfitnesspal Oct 1st. Down 15 lbs in the 3 weeks prior to round 57)
SW for the round 57 challenge: 298 lbs (I have a photo to prove it, I'll take a new one at the start of every week)
GW sometime in 2020: 195 lbs (several beautiful Italian double-breasted suits await me)

Round 58
SW for this round: 295 lbs
GW for this round: 291 lbs (drop 4 lbs)

Day 01. 11/04 295 lbs
Day 02. 11/05 297 lbs (up 2 lbs). I had a customer computer emergency day. An electrician was out at a store and managed to short the power to the local Linux server. Which would then not reboot. I would up pulling an all-nighter to recover the server and replace it with an old machine while a new unit is configured, licensed and installed later this week. No sleep 'til Hammersmith (4 hours after I got home at 8:45am but I feel like I had none). Way too much caffeine. Some less than stellar eating options. Draw a line and start again, recognizing that my goal of down 4 lbs this challenge might now be our of reach.
Day 03. 11/06 296 lbs. Back on track today.
Day 04. 11/07 296 lbs. No change. But on a plus, my blood pressure is down a couple of points. And my measurements have shrunk a bit overall. Yay! So maybe that means a weight loss tomorrow? (One must think positively).

Up 1 lb so far this 10 day challenge. Meh...
Down 2 lbs so far on challenges (I plan on doing more of them).
Down 17 lbs total since I came back to myfitnesspal.
101 lbs to go to where I want to be: 195 lbs, the weight at which I got married.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Round #58 My #4 round
Female/49 years/Missouri

Round 55 * -3.2 (I was sick)
Round 56 * +1.6
Round 57 * -1.8
Round 58 * TBD

OSW - 213 (highest weight ever 280 but I've had most of that off for more than 15 years but still)
CW - 190.2
RGW - 188.5
UGW – 135

Food Goals:
Get 5 servings of fruits/veggies every day.
Stay under my calorie goal of 1,400.

Exercise Goals:
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)
Walk 45 miles in November (Nov 5th - 9.08 miles)

11/04 190.7 I walked a little over 2.5 miles yesterday. The weather was perfect for a walk but I was with girlfriend that wore the wrong shoes and couldn't really go any further.

Love her and I am glad she's walking with me (she really needs to exercise and this is all she does is walk with me) but it did make me mad.
11/05 190.7 I got a late - slow walk in too late in the day. Forgetting about the time change, once again finished my walk in the dark. I have GOT to be more mindful of my surroundings. A couple of deer ran across the trail not 10 feet in front of me; scared the crap out of me. My nieces birthday celebration. She asked for chicken tortilla soup. Easily on the calories (I don't add the tortilla until the end so everyone can control their own) just a bunch of veggies, chicken breast, and seasonings. I might have had a loss if I had stayed to just one 2X2 gooey delicious brownie she wanted instead of cake.
11/06 190.4 Slight drop. Didn't exercise yesterday and normally I would go to the gym tonight, but I am traveling out of town for work and my BF is coming with me!!! I know he'll want to go to dinner etc. As long as I can stay in within my calorie goal I'll be fine. I will have no access to a scale until Friday morning.

11/07 No Scale I did end up going to the gym last night. I did a little more than an hour on the weight machines and drove 3.5 hours from KC to StL. I stayed within calories and sodium, which is all I can do these days. Tonight I should walk, we'll see what happens. Having the BF here is both good and bad. It's good because I get to spend time with him, it's bad because I don't want to work.
