11/14 - 179 - Late evening pretzel eating again. It's over, bag's empty, lol.
11/15 - 177.4 - Infused water? Lately I've been using cilantro instead of parsley. Can't find a decent bunch of parsley anywhere. I do really like the spiciness of the cilantro in the water.
11/16 - 176.8 -
11/17 - 177.4 - Smh
11/18 - 176.6 - Woot! Happy to see this number again today. I looked back through the rounds, and noticed that I average 65 days per decade of weight. Hopeful for Round 60/61 to be in the 160's!

11/19 - 177 - Okay. Spent the day at my DS and DIL's house, visiting Grandchildren. That is ALWAYS a high carb day. I normally take my own food so I'll have something to eat, but I didn't yesterday. I did roast a chicken for the children and made a couple of dips the adults could eat during the football game. My DH picked up fried chicken wings and fried fish at a carryout. I wasn't in the mood for any of it. I bought some chicken nuggets and fries at Wendys, didn't want that either, lol. It was cold and tasteless when I ate it.😕 Ate a little of the dip with a few flatbread crackers. Also ate salad. Came home and ate peanut butter. Strange day of eating for me, but I got to love up on my littles 😀 which always makes the day special.

My name is Jen. I’ve been sitting at the low 200s for a while now trying everything to get my weight to budge. A great MFP friend suggested this group and so far it’s helping! The weight is still moving at a snails pace but at least it’s moving!

11/14 - 206.2. Thought I might be down today but know what I need to do
11/15 - 205.6. I hope this trend continues for tomorrow.
11/16 - 205.2. Now to keep it going through the weekend!
11/17 - no weigh in. Away for the weekend.
11/18 - no weigh in
11/19 - 208.6. Hoping that is mostly water weight after a weekend away in a hotel for my son’s hockey tournament. 3 hour drive home last night and lots of sitting in an arena.

11/14 - Wednesday - 177.6 - I still find myself typing 19X when going to record my weight. My brain cannot fathom that I'm in the 170's! I had a crackpot goal to be 175 before thanksgiving but that seems pretty extreme given its a week away and the end of this round is a day after thanksgiving - yikes! Okay, considering that I think I'll actually aim to maintain this round. Finding a balance between enjoying my favorite holiday guilt free and not binging for the entire weekend. Fortunately, we are going out this year, so I wont be totally tempted by all the leftovers - but we will probably cook a bird and make some soup over the weekend. I'm committing NOW to next round as to not let myself slip into holiday regression. Last night I overindulged a bit so scale may be up a bit tomorrow. Desperately need to go to the grocery store and stock up on healthy options again. Been basically cleaning out the cupboards for the past week!
11/15 - Thursday - 176.8 - Been visualizing that 176! Solid morning, fish oil, smoothie, packed lunches, snacks, and got dinner on deck with a chicken teriyaki salad! Weather has me feeling especially dry and dehydrated so I'll focus on water today. Probably working from home tomorrow so I planned to make extra dinner to have for lunches tomorrow so we're not tempted to order out or snack our way thru the day at home. Went grocery shopping and have a good plan to get us thru the weekend fed with yummy, home cooked, whole foods. Been craving Zuppa Toscana so making a copy cat!
11/16 - Friday - 176.8 - ive been consistent and my numbers have been more consistent! Got hit with the munchies last night but got by with half a pb&j toast. Working from home today. Went out and did a little snow removal and made homemade pancakes. Leftovers for lunch and zuppa for dinner! Its a winter wonderland and we will probably be going snowboarding tomorrow or Sunday!!!!
11/17 Saturday - 178 - well I did well all day then mindlessly snacked after an early dinner. Dissapointed, but working from home proved to be tricky for me so I'll be mindful of that in the future. Back at it today!
11/18 - Sunday - 179.4 - enjoyed the day for friendsgiving yesterday without guilt. Which was hard after wanting to "make up" for the day before...but growing through it regardless. Not surprised by the uptick...water today, leftovers, and snowboarding tonight! The activity should make eating today a little more flexible anyway.
11/19 - Monday - 180.2 - TOM arrived late last night. Feeling super bloated and generally uncomfortable! But its a blessing really - my periods are continuing to regulate and I might have even ovulated this month! Sorry for TMI! So anyway I'm actually happy this morning - things are moving in the direction of my dreams, I paid all the bills, I stuck with my habits this morning and packed lunches and dinner is already prepared! I need toilet paper and a few things at the store but need to make a solid plan before I step foot inside a preholiday supermarket! Got to the mountain last night and felt SO good on my board!

11/14 - 212.2 - Focusing on getting all my water in today!
11/15 - 213 Not really happy that it has gone up over the last few days but I did get all my water in. The goal for today is to get all my calories and see if that helps.
11/16= 212.6 - Movement downward again. Still frustrated. I am eating healthy options and staying in my cal limit. Last night I got near the top of my target limit without adding processed or sugary items. Also got in my water target and workout for the day. I am just frustrated at making the right choices and seeing and upward tick this week.
11/17-- 210.. uh... what? doing the same things I have done all week. not sure what the difference has been.
11/18-- 209.8 this has been a much slower loss week. but a loss is a loss
11/19 -210 - was my official weigh in-- only down 1lb from last Monday's weigh in.

20th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Last round I spent wobbling between 160’s and high 161’s. I haven’t gone way overboard but my occasional “treat” seems to have become an everyday or even twice a day thing which would be ok for maintenance but is sabotaging any loss. So my goal this round is to dial that back and absolutely no LNS even if it is low calorie. I never skip meals and rarely have them at odd hours so there really is no excuse.
Round 59 – SW 161.2, Goal for this round (again) under 160.

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
11/14 – 161.2 – Still here. Resisted ice cream last night but 3 corn thins before bed. Why did I need that? I had a good supper with lots of protein. The excuse in my head is always that “I can’t sleep well if I’m hungry.” The truth is that it is a lifetime habit - that I can break. Of course my stomach is hungry at night if I feed it almost every night!
11/15 - 160.2
11/16 - 161.4 – Totally my own fault – caved to ice cream. Today will work on arming myself with a plan this morning to resist temptation this evening. Also is a gym day which should help.
11/17 – 161.2 Good day at the gym yesterday. I’ve started doing more upper body exercise instead of just focusing on a little cardio (recumbent bike & elliptical) and abs. I usually use a CPAP machine for breathing at night although I know that I just barely need it. The ear, nose, throat specialist told me that I would be able to get rid of it if I lost weight. Now suddenly, my breathing is much better. Normally without the CPAP I have a more restless night and wake up with a dull headache. I haven’t lost all that much weight so I’m wondering if it is the upper body workout making the difference.
11/18 - 161.6 Really good day yesterday calorie wise, rather sedentary but I think this is just the lag from a few days ago. So, hanging in there for a drop tomorrow or the next day.
11/19 – 161.6 Careful caloriewise and no LNS yesterday. Off to the gym today.

11/14—217—Nothing making a ton of sense right now, weight-wise, but as long as it's just bouncing around in this range, it's all good. Still working on the 100 pushups challenge but had to restart week 2. I'm definitely getting better at pushups!


11/15—DNW—I was rushing to get out the door to get to the airport to catch a flight. Well, I didn't have to hurry! The plane is still sitting on the tarmac. I'm not in it, though. I was heading out of town for a conference but we sat and sat then came back to the gate and sat, then they were reboarding and I realized I wasn't going to make my session! So I came home instead.


11/16—217.2—Yoinks. Well, I can't claim I had a perfect eating day yesterday. Too much salt and too little hydration. Onward!


11/17—217.2—Huh.


11/18—216.8—Well, that's a little better!


11/19—216.8—I ate movie theater popcorn yesterday, so this is a win.

@SheilaBoneham Congratulations!! I am doing my happy dance for you.

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.
