    11/04 - 205.6. So happy with this number. Weekends are normally so tough for me but I really tried to treat it like a normal weekday and it has worked so far. Planning to do the same today.
    11/05 - 206.8. Ate late last night plus a bunch of junky Food through the day. Lazy Sunday’s are not always good for me. Back on track today.
    11/06 - 206.6. Have to drink more water today. Was so busy at work I didn’t get enough in.
    11/07 - 205.8. More water and steps today.
    11/08 - 206.2
    11/09 - 205.8. Need to stay in track over the weekend to really make a difference. Weekends are always a challenge for me.
    11/10 - 206.6
    11/11 - didn’t weigh in
    11/12 - 207.6 - not sure I will recover from the weekend to post a lost for this round but I’m going to try my best. My real problem is the weekends. This my next habit I’m going to try and improve on - treating weekends like every day during the week.
    11/13 - 206.2. Unfortunately I’m not posting an overall loss this round but I’m still down from when I joined this amazing challenge group. Celebrate the small things, right?

    But you’re doing much better overall, don’t you think, Jen? I think you are more controlled. Now to just keep weekends more in check and you’ll be knocking on the 190’s in no time! I’m planning you a party!

    Age 60 from Westerville, Ohio
    Height 5‘6“
    Round 58 - SW 175.6, EW - 174 down 1.6 — I can‘t believe I finished all 10-days!! :smile:
    HW: 213
    LW: 148
    CW: 175
    UGW: 150-155
    I was heaviest in late 90‘s/early 2000‘s, when I couldn‘t tie my shoes or walk around the little league field without losing my breath, it was time to change.

    Lost 65 pounds over several years w/WW, SparkPeople, Beck Diet Solution (life changing!!!), MFP, Body for Life (and many more fitness books) and tracking diligently and working out. Became passionate about fitness and earned my trainer certification.

    Fittest in 2009/2010/2011. Then a few years of curve balls: donated a kidney to my husband, had hip surgery, gained 10#, cared for my husband and lost him, moved half-way across the country with my job, job sucked (60-80-100 hour weeks), gained 20#, bought a house, found a new job last year, lost 10#.

    Time to lose 10 or 20 more and have fun with fitness again... If you‘ve read this far, thanks for indulging my rambling...

    Commitment for 10 days:
    1 - track every day... I’ll log calories/macros here to keep me honest (gulp!)
    2 - working out: No more pushing until after the virus — new goal: 30’ of something/anything every daytwo red and two amber sessions...
    I use the HeartWatch app and it’s colors for level of intensity are:
    ....... warmup/health
    ....... fat burn
    ....... building fitness
    ....... high intensity workouts

    ...Doing dates upside down so I keep the end in sight...
    Date ** Weight ** Nutrition ** Exercise
    T 11/13 - what will i weigh if i track and workout consistently? how will i feel?!?!. The consistency feels great — overall, I‘m eating much better and moving and wanting to move and wanting to eat well! Win, win, win... 10-days done and it‘s been a fresh start! :-)
    DANG! Forgot to weigh in today of all days!!! Dang, dang, dang...
    I‘m going to guess that I would have bounced up at least a pound and call it 174...     ** 2167 46/23/31 ** 30‘ walk with the dog
    M 11/12 172.8 ** 1934 (oops!) 47/21/32 ** walked the dog a couple times for a total of 45‘, still fighting a cold, time for a good night‘s sleep...
    S 11/11 175.2
    S 11/10 174.8 ** 1767 44/21/35 ** easy walk with the dog and heavy house cleaning.... Mostly in the warmup/health range, some in the fat burning range. But given that I‘m all stuffed up w/minimal energy, I‘ll take it :-). Without this challenge, I‘d have given up and laid on the couch. With this challenge, I‘m closing my apple activity rings every day, despite having a cold. And I‘m still tracking and I‘m eating better... I‘ll take it...
    F 11/09 174.4 ** 1722 53/21/26 ** 30’ walk with the dog wow - thought i was taking it easy - the body truly does work harder when there‘s a virus in play too!! Also some light house cleaning and lots of couch time to rest... BONUS — I was still able to close all my apple-watch-fitness rings even being sick - woohoo!! I‘m still on track for closing them every day in November
    T 11/08 176 ** 1741 50/22/28 ** rolling & stretching, walking the dog. Needed a good restorative workout after yesterday’s dorky class left me oddly sore. Gotta revise my warm up for next Wednesday’s class...
    Revived an old habit — tracking my food before the day starts so I know I‘m on track... ended with better results for calories and macros - now we‘ll see what the scale says tomorrow...
    W 11/07 175.6 ** 1856 48/20/32 core workout class
    Glad to see the scale drop today - must have been sodium yesterday... New workout class this morning - sort of dorky but I’ll stick with it for 6 weeks - it will be good for me, lol... and it was a good workout after all :-)
    T 11/06 177.0 ** 1599 46/23/31 ** power cleaned the house and walked the dog
    UGH!! Up 1.6 this morning - yikes... good motivation to eat cleaner and stick to the calories and macros...
    M 11/05 175.4 ** 2183 42/19/39 ** rehab and walked the dog
    S 11/04 175.6 ** 1891 47/21/32 ** circuit training class :-)

    Round 56 SW: 194.6 EW: 195.9 (+1.3lbs)
    Round 57 SW 195.9 EW: 193.9 (-2lbs)
    Round 58 SW: 193.9 EW: 191.5 (-2.4lbs)
    Other goals: 10,000 steps at least 4 days a week. Strength training 4 times a week. Run 3 times a week. Do a yoga flow daily. Eat at a deficit. Prepare for the Banquet next round. Be more consistent about hydration/
    Day/Weight/Comment
    11/04 193.9 Bloating is awful.
    11/05 191.5. I’m happy, but I don’t think this number will stick. It’ll probably go up to 192.x, hover there, and then come down again.
    11/06 190. I think this is a woosh, or my body actively trolling me. “You think I’m going to regain that water weight? Well then I’m gonna drop another pound and a half! Deal with it!” I’m happy, but I’m also kind of in shock lol.
    11/07 191.3. Knew yesterday’s weight was too good to be true. Oh well. This number is nice too.
    11/08 191.3.
    11/09 193. Overate yesterday, but most of this water weight I think. Will try to drink a lot of water today and get in a good sweat session.
    11/10 192.8 forgot to update.
    11/11 191! I had about 300 calories left last night, but listened to my body and decided that I wasn’t hungry. I probably wouldn’t have eaten very well if I did eat something. I tend to mindlessly munch at night.
    11/12 192.1
    11/13 191.5! A nice number to end the round on. I was really bad at checking in this round, so next time I’ll do better. Also, as a NSV, I bought a pretty red mini dress yesterday, and I’ve gone down a size! It’s so pretty, but also definitely mini. I’m pretty short and it doesn’t reach my fingertips. https://ardene.com/ca/en/sleeveless-lace-mini-dress/37428AD-R2-9A.html?dwvar_37428AD-R2-9A_color=9A-AP00286&cgid=1-10-Party#start=1
    Total lost this round: 2.4lbs!

    I am a 38 year old, 5'7" stay-at-home mom. This is my 2nd round here.

    OSW 10/24/18: 290
    End R57: 277.8 (-12.2)

    Round 58:
    Day/Weight/Comment
    11/04 276.6 (-1.2) Continuing to track everything, even the extra chocolate I ate yesterday.
    11/05 276.6 (-0.0)
    11/06 277.8 (+1.2) Not surprised by this with how I ate yesterday. But I tracked it all, so that's a victory.
    11/07 276.6 (-1.2)
    11/08 276.2 (-0.4) My mom has been visiting... I'm surprised that I'm down at all today. I will be happy if I can finish this round without gaining.
    11/09 276.4 (+0.2)
    11/10 no scale - spent the night at Mom's house
    11/11 277.6 (+1.2) got home yesterday and the heat was broken, and it was only 59 degrees in the house. Ate far too many cookies than I want to admit from the stress.
    11/12 276.8 (-0.8)
    11/13 276.2 (-0.6)

    Down 1.6 pounds total this round.

    I didn't do very good posting my results daily, but I have been keeping track. It was a rough week, with hubby out of town and me taking care of the 2 little ones. Then my mom came to visit to "help", which really didn't help much at all. Then our heat broke when it was below freezing. So, all in all, I'm very pleased that I didn't throw in the towel after a rough week and that I'm back on track.

    I'm back! :D 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.
    11/11--220.0
    11/12--220.0 Forgot to post yesterday. Stomach is feeling weird again today. I'm being more conscious of how I feel after eating certain foods and I think I'm starting to figure some things out about how what foods are affecting me, but until I get the results of my allergy test it's still hit or miss.
    11/13--219.3 This is from not eating a lot because my stomach was bothering me yesterday, so there will probably be a bump up tomorrow.

    EW: 219.3 AW: 220.1

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
    REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    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).
    Day 05. 11/08 295.5 lbs. A small loss but I'll take it.
    Day 06. 11/09 offline due to the Woolsey fire (no internet).
    Day 07. 11/10 offline due to the Woolsey fire (no internet).
    Day 08. 11/11 298 lbs. Ventura/LA fire driven stress-eating weight gain. :( We are not in any immediate danger in Simi Valley. The Woolsey fire having gone west and southwest, and now also working its way east. Thursday night it had burned up the hillside to the south of SV. And sat there burning itself out becoming a natural firebreak. Fortunately no heavy winds in SV this weekend so that fire almost in my backyard is done. Hopefully it won't be coming back in our direction from the east. And that means I can get back on with my diet plans.
    Day 09. 11/12 forgot to weight myself due to other issues.
    Day 10. 11/13 297 lbs. Back in the right direction. I'll do better next challenge.

    Up 2 lb so far this 10 day challenge. Dammit...
    Down 1 lbs so far on challenges (I plan on doing more of them).
    Down 16 lbs total since I came back to myfitnesspal.
    102 lbs to go to where I want to be: 195 lbs, the weight at which I got married.

    @bubblegum2fitness, Congrats on dropping down a size! I love the style of your dress and that shade of red!

    @emilyc0525, Oh my goodness. Your situation with the heat, husband out of town and 2 littles to care for brings back similar memories of my own. {{{Hugs}}} to you. I hope your heat has been fixed now.

    @AJB1014, WOOP! WOOP! to your being 35 lbs lighter in time for ski season.

    @Kres567, I think that you are doing very well. Daily weigh ins are an eye opener

    @abowersgirl, Your Uncle's birthday party sounded wonderful to me. I'm glad that you enjoyed being with family. ❤ The food! There was no need to feel guilty about enjoying all the wonderful foods. You got yourself right back on track, that's what matters.

    @quiltingjaine, Yaaas, your ketoversary pic is awesome! I'm glad you decided to make it your profile pic. I plan on posting mine at my one year mark. Love your kitty blankie😄 10 cups of coffee! Lol, I can drink too much of it when I'm cold too. I stop at 3 now, but then I start with herbal tea. I think I'm over the initial shock of temperature change now, because my water consumption is returning to normal. I do have days sometimes when I just don't want water.

    @deepwoodslady, We have been all up and down these 170's. I'm tired of them. I know you are. Let's get out, shall we? I want to be saying so long to them by December 1st. I purposefully wanted to slow my weightloss down by eating higher carbs. I just did it at the wrong time, since I knew this decade would be problematic.

    @Oncologychick, Congratulations on your normal BMI!

    @Tracie_Lord, Great job whittling that vacation weight away!

    @bryony_bby, You lost 2 lbs in 10 days, that is great!

    @tlgale, Phenomenal loss in 10 days, so happy for you!

    @gmiller725, @Leroyoliver, Birder165, @MaryQueen26, @allmannerofthings, @denswrex,
    Nice losses this round!

    This is my fifth round. I am starting not to freak out as much over the daily fluctuations. I ended last round high, which is why I have a larger goal this 10 days.

    R54 SW 177 EW 175 (-2.0)

    R56 SW 171 EW 170.5 (-0.5)
    R57 SW 170.5 EW 169.5 (-1.0)
    R58 SW 169.5 EW 166.5 (-3.0)

    CW 169.5
    RGW 166
    UGW 140-145

    Goals--
    Carbs < 40-
    Steps/day > 12000
    Exercise/walk 6 of 7 days/week

    Day/Weight/Comment

    11/4 168.5 Got in 18000 steps yesterday and an extra 500 calorie deficit. This number is more like it.... I knew ending high last round would make this one easier!
    11/5 167.5 18000 steps again.
    11/6 168 Lots of steps, zumba & body weight exercises. Big deficit yesterday!
    11/7 166 Walked, voted and then walked with friends. 17000 steps. So happy to see this number. I hope it sticks instead of bouncing up again!
    11/8 165.5 So cool to have it move lower instead of the immediate bounce up! Was all ready to go out and walk this morning despite the threat of rain. And when it started raining as I drove my son to school I figured that was ok. But then when it started pouring and lightening, I decided maybe I should wait. I'm dressed and ready to go! Have a good day everyone!
    11/9 165 Woohoo! Walk & elliptical yesterday.
    11/10 165.5 --Weighed yesterday but forgot to check in. Friday did water aerobics and elliptical.
    11/11 167.5 -- Went to football party yesterday. Stuck to the low carb options of cheese, olives, veggies, chili and a few walnuts....except for the graham cracker toffee, which I had several pieces of. Convinced I did not actually eat 7000 calories of toffee over maintenance. In fact, I was only a little over my calories, so I am hoping that this number will go back down! I did go for a walk and managed to get 12,000 steps. Was having bad cravings and bad mood--which I'm assuming was hormonal. I was glad I took the power walk, because I felt much better afterwards, and more in control when I went to the party. (I was not as good with water yesterday or today either).
    11/12 166 -- Phew....Pumped water yesterday. Did the elliptical. Jogged an extra 5000 steps in front of the TV to increase my deficit. I'm clinging to this number for tomorrow!!

    11/13 - 166.5 -- I'll take it. Gives me a good looking loss for this round, and a boost for next round!

    Round start 169.5, round end 166.5 LOSS 3.0
