JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 58

@bryony_bby The sugar in the wine might be the culprit in your increased hunger. Sugar spike followed by crash = hunger.

Just came back from my freestyle: 12,5 km, - 982 kcal, more running than walking! I am definitely not going to eat them back. Now shower and lunch! Who is still thinking whether move a bit around or not - just do this. It's just a 30 sec decision, but then you will feel so awesome.

@AJB1014 You might try putting a little rubbing alcohol in your ears to dry them after swimming.

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?!?
11/8 130.5 Carbs and salt! I knew it was going to happen. I was mad at myself because I haven’t mastered my new HRM and it didn’t record most of my workout yesterday. We went to Golden Corral for dinner - conveniently located right next door to the gym. Early bird special. Going to breakfast this morning. Typing in the car.
11/9 130.5 Carl is asleep in the living room so I did not make my BPC. I hate open floor plans for that reason! Too much kitchen noise everywhere! My workout buddy had to cancel so my couch potato self only had 2600 steps yesterday!
11/10 131.0 Up too early! DH is “sleeping” in the living room because he can’t get comfortable anywhere.

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.
11/7 - 177.4
11/8 -176.4 - Well, well. I said that it would be a wild ride through the 170's. I looked back to the end of September, when my weight dropped to this decade. From 179.6 to 175.2 and all weights in between, multiple times in some cases. Twenty pounds ago, I knew the 170's would hang on for a few months. Back in 2003 I weighed 175lbs for a while on my way to 150lbs, although I looked about 150, lean and strong. I was a beast with exercise back then, 2 or 3 hours daily. I would love to be that strong again. I've always loved working out. Too many injuries😖
11/9 - 175.4 - Went to bed at 5am. If not for me helping my girlfriend with a project once again, I'm sure I would have lain in bed awake all night anyway. A very soul wrenching day for me yesterday. She was who I needed to talk out my frustrations and anger with and keep my hands busy and mind distracted. Love her ❤

Thanks, ill certainly get back in the habit! I used to have a good protocol as a kid - but still got swimmers ear all the time anyway...going to talk to my doc because I'm worried its something to do with fungal overgrowth more than dampness in the ear.

I spend five hours yesterday at the dog show (BIG 5-day show here each Nov.) and walked miles. I used to show my dogs, and it was great to see lots of people I haven't seen since we moved away 9 years ago, and to smooch with lots of dogs. I got a thorough going over from Lily when I got home!

11/05 - 134.4 - 1236 - 10-day ave 1223
Bouncy bouncy - maybe partly due to weighing in 2 hours earlier than usual. I'm using the shift back to standard time to get myself out of bed earlier - we'll see if it sticks. I planted 100 bulbs yesterday, just in time for the rain.

Very sad day yesterday as we said farewell to our lovely Labby girl, Lily. In her younger days she was my competition partner (earned advanced titles in obedience, rally, tracking) and volunteer therapy work with children in schools and the library. She was my husband's walking partner, a calendar girl, my cuddler, and a stand-up lie-down comedian, often upstaging me at book signings. She was healthy until 2 weeks ago - lymphoma is a monster. So I ate a bunch of extra calories (nuts & fruit) and thought my weight would be up this morning, but got a surprise. Maybe Lily ran it off for me. I know she's running now at the Rainbow Bridge with all the other dogs & cats & horses of my life.

11/09 - 133.6 - 1439 - 10-day ave 1315
Snow! Not much, but our first snow of the season. Makes me want nice hot soups and chili and stuff I can't have yet on this elimination/add back program. Soon! Have a good weekend, all.

Brrr - it's cold here today, but I'm planning to bundle up and go for a walk by the river anyway. I need to stop wimping out (though I'm still adjusting to northern Indiana after 8 years on the southern NC coast!). Or maybe I'll write, knit, paint, read, nap instead.

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

11/08 147.2 it was as if the Halloween candy I was eating last week shocked my system into a loss this week now that I am back at it. Exercised good, ate over my usual calories but it was all good food (stayed under Exercise calories though so that helps) and drank 1.3 liters of water. I am will be working out harder then I have been all week today, since I have a free schedule day so I am hoping that this does a baby jump by tomorrow. I came onto MFP four months ago on the 6th to get myself reacquainted and prepared but didn't actually start watching and exercising until the 9th...so tomorrow is actually my four month anniversary although it was posted a couple of days ago on the MFP home pages. I will be killing it today!!

11/09 146.8 Don't stop now!!! Just a little bit more!!! I hope this excellent downward trend holds out before plateauing again. I exercised good yesterday, drank 1.3 Liters of water and stayed under calories.

11/10 146.2 very nice, very nice. So happy this is still dropping. I have noticed a trend of me making my goal weight every two rounds...Going to have to keep that in mind for my goal when it comes to round 59 lol. I also took my measurment yesterday and I have lost half an inch all over!! It's slowed down a bit but I am not complaining as long as it continues this down ward trend. Completed all but one of my workouts (which is super impressive) ate under Calories and drank 1.75 liters of water. I do Shaun Ts insanity program and it's a 6 day workout with one rest day and I will be doing my 6th day (for this weeks program) today and it is actually the first time since starting the program that I did a full week. For those that don't know, doing the first couple of days isn't too bad but as the week goes on you start getting anxious and feeling less motivated because of the difficulty level...I am so happy about this NSV..first time in the whole 2 month plan..yay me!! 😃😃

11/04 147.4 Have a great round everyone!
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.
11/08 145.8 Good day yesterday, walked, hydrated, ate to make my body feel good. Got to cut back on the protein bars though, they are back in my life again and though they fit in my day they are still processed foods. Bad news is I ordered a bulk pack and so here they sit...Can I admit I am so happy to be back on the downhill? Not really sure why I stalled there for a month and a half at 149. I think I had a belief in my head that a lower weight was too hard to maintain, but looking back, I didn't know what I know now about macros and CI/CO, that's why it was so hard. I had lost previously on weight watchers, plus I was a distance runner, not eating any exercise "points" and carb heavy/vegetarian. No wonder I was starving all the time!
11/09 145.6 Wow really great losses this round! I guess I was ready! Now I need to start doing some more intentional exercise, specifically get the glutes activated! Fires in the area have the air quality awful again, so inside work only.

11/10 147.6 Deserve this after a late night grilled cheese and some cake, but it was worth it! I'll post photos later of the cake I made for my nephew's birthday, it turned out super cute, but I had to eat some of the "waste" since it was chocolate and whipped cream with crushed oreos, my personal cryptonite! Oreos are forbidden usually in my house due to my weakness for them, but I was the instigator this time. We are not walking the hill due to super smokey air here in California, so sad to see all this fire again! NSV- lost some inches with this last little weight drop, my sister told me I looked skinny, my husband told me not to get too skinny...love the external validations!!!

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!
11/08 - 179.6 Ugg. However, I found my carpet and ordered the in home measuring. Also found the flooring for the utility room. Home depot has free installation right now. The Chinese food is likely retaining water from yesterday. More travel today for the injections in my head for the hair loss. About 100 miles each way from home. I will work on the bloat tomorrow after a brief trip (about 30 miles each way) to the vet clinic with my 18 ½ yr old kitty. She has a bad cold and it’s time for a senior check-up anyway. It will be nice to be home when all of this is done!
11/09 - 180.2 OMgosh. Out of town again yesterday to the Dermatologist and then home just in time for the Pool Hall & Potluck. Off to the Vet today with Reeces my kitty. It will be a straight there & back trip and because she’ll be with me, there will be no temptation to stop and eat. I’ll be doing Tish’s triple threat water today for the bloat. I will be working on this damage all weekend and catch up on all the posts which I know is always inspiring and informative. 1-4 inches of snow expected today. I’m a little nervous for this first wintry drive in a year. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
11/10 -179.6 Vet appointment turned out so-so. Reeces the cat’s bloodwork showed slight elevations in her BUN (kidney) and one of her liver numbers. She needs a recheck in two months. Everything else turned out good including her teeth. She had to be sedated for the bloodwork so they got a pretty good look in her mouth. Overall, not bad for her age. We tried to catch Ruby the Chicken for the past couple of days but she keeps getting away, then going back up in the tree. About 2 inches of snow on the ground now. We contacted the closest farm who agreed she is probably theirs, but they’ve made no attempt to help. I talked to the vet yesterday who does housecalls on the farms. He said to throw a medium weight blanket over her to catch her. We may try that today if I can get help. I am sad to lose her, but it is in her best interest. Happy with the scale this morning. I drank Tish’s triple threat water yesterday evening and stayed with plan. I felt pretty strong.

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

11/08 - 161.2 – Gym yesterday but a bit over calories. Food choices good though.
11/09 - 160.6 – Good day yesterday – did a final tidy up outside and that’s pretty much it till next spring. Today it’s snowing like mad and I get to stay home as husband needs the car. We get a loads of heavy, wet snow here (we’re a ski town) which is nasty to drive in but sure is beautiful to watch coming down. I am doing exercises from an old program (Calanetics) in between housework, class prep, writing and hopefully knitting.
11/10 – 160.8 – Started a new routine at the gym this week and did almost all the old routine at home yesterday. Would like to work more exercise into each day since I don’t get much outside exercise in the winter. My experience when I started going to the gym last Feb. was that I exercised and exercised and it didn’t seem to make much difference and then suddenly I found that my metabolism was up and I had a lot more energy and the weight started moving. I also watched what I ate more carefully but nothing extreme.

I'm back!

I went to a naturopath and feel much better. She gave me some digestive enzymes, just to help with the uncomfortable and heavy feeling I've been having lately and the enzymes are definitely helping. I am waiting for the results of the food allergy test and when those results come back in a couple of weeks, I am going to go over the results with the nutritionist and make a game plan on what to do. I am also going to see my PCP this Friday just to make sure there isn't anything more, but based on the fact I am starting to feel better with the enzymes I definitely believe there are food allergy/sensitivity issues.

11/4--218.4 Joined the gym last week and started Strong Curves. Went to the gym this morning and did W4D2 of c25k yesterday. Going out to dinner tonight and then taking my MIL to see Joan Baez in concert. My MIL loves Joan Baez.
11/5--220.6 Water weight from dinner and lack of water. Will probably show up again tomorrow as I took my MIL out for breakfast and did not drink a lot of water today. I will be travelling for a presentation tomorrow, so my schedule will be out of whack for another day. Even though it was my day off today, I got up early and went to the gym.
11/6--220.4 Will be going out for lunch today. Goal today is to get water in.
11/7--220.9 The last of my days where I am eating out. Today I'm back on track and getting my water in. Yoga tonight.
11/8--220.6 Woke up 45 minutes earlier this morning and went to the gym before work. Felt bloated and heavy all day yesterday and still feeling a little bloated this morning. I forgot to take my digestive enzymes at lunch yesterday and I forgot to bring them with me to work today again, ugh.
11/9--220.0 Happy hour/good-bye party tonight for co-worker who is leaving. Plan is to drink a lot of water today and eat lighter for the rest of the day to limit the amount of damage tonight.
11/10--220.9 Had a little too much to drink last night and feeling it this morning. Other than a walk with the dog will definitely be taking it easy today. Went to my PCP yesterday and she didn't find anything wrong with my gallblader, liver, or pancreas. She did find that my large intestines were a little distended, but she was not surprised on that based on my bloated/fullness symptoms. She agreed that my symptoms are most likely food related and agreed with working with the naturopath/nutrtionist on possible food allergies, so that was reassuring.

@MIpiccolo don't give up. It might be DOMS from working out, it's an inflammation in the muscle and water retention which can increase your weight by 2-5 pounds, which sounds within your range. If you need a break from the scale that's fine but dont be discouraged and keep doing what you are doing while drinking a lot of water. It should result in a nice woooosh.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 58
