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!

11/15 - 205.6. I hope this trend continues for tomorrow.

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— 146.6 Worked out hard last night and am sore this morning. :-)
11/15—147.6
11/16—147.4
11/17—out of town, no weigh in
11/18—147.6 after two days at my parents’ house, I’m pleased to be still at a maintenance level. Now to try to lose a bit before tomorrow’s weigh in for the week.
11/19–146.8 Final countdown before Thanksgiving. Good luck, everyone!
11/20—149.2 Well, Panda Express! All that salt! Here’s to drinking LOTS of water today, and tomorrow, and…
11/21—no weigh in—traveling
11/22—150.6 (different scales here so not sure they are calibrated with mine at home, but that is the number on them this morning) Happy Thanksgiving! I just crossed that line that I will NOT stay above, so after today (which will not help the matter), I’ll have some work to do. But, family and friends and experiences are important too, so I’m not going to stress about it. Enjoy the day, everyone! Happy Thanksgiving. Count your many blessings! Even in hard situations, (and I’m speaking from a tough spot in life experience here today), there are many things to be thankful for.

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.
11/20 - 177.2 - Mmmm, not amused 😑
11/21 - 176.6 - Back here again for the umpteenth time.😄 The struggle of late, that I'm noticing, is not wanting to eat what I cook or just not being hungry. Although, yesterday I felt hungry and wanted something crunchy, so I ate more of the flatbread crackers with the cheese dips. That turned into a meal, lol.
11/22 - 176.2 - Enjoy your family time today everyone!

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.

11/19 - 188.8 I was on vacation last week and while I did weigh in everyday I did not update round #58 numbers or comment on this round until now. I didn't do anything interesting on vacation because my bf burnt his hand so badly the night before we were leaving that he had to go to the emergency room and there was NO way we could fly. He was miserable. He's much better now and we spent a lot of time together but it wasn't a "vacation" like I really needed. I'm still worried about him as he has a compromised immune system right now and any infection can be very serious. The only good thing was that I walked every day. I got a couple of 4 milers in and one short two mile walk where both miles were under 17 minutes. I wasn't great on food, niece's first birthday last weekend and her dad's birthday this weekend. As if all that wasn't enough to kill my weight loss chances, its TOM so I doubt I will lose even a half a pound this round.
11/20 - 188.8 I'm happy enough with that considering I was stressed most of the day and had no exercise yesterday (other than jumping up and screaming during Monday night football GO CHIEFS!) Going to the gym tonight for weights. I'm trying to get 3 walks in between now and Sunday. Not easy with the holiday. I'll be busy on Thursday with T-day, decorating the house on Friday, another T-day on Saturday. I'm just sick of 18X I feel like I've been hovering for over a month where I can't get below 188. Now pile two thanksgiving and stupid TOM and there is no hope of seeing say 186 for at least another week if not two. It's a journey, it's a journey, it's a journey.
11/21 - 188.3 Going down is always a good thing. Went to the gym last night, had a great work out. Plan on a long walk this afternoon. Maybe I should just make 4 miles my new normal and stop calling it a long walk? Now I'm rambling. Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow to all!!! I am thankful for MFP and this challenge!!!
11/22 - 188.4 Well that sucks. Under calorie goal and a fantastic almost perfect 4 mile walk on a very rough trail. That's one of the best walks I've had in a long time. I only saw one other person but TWO 8 point bucks running together. We have seen deer on the trail many times but this was cooler and potentially dangerous. My dog was about 15 feet in front of me freezes, looks into the woods and then comes back to me. I turned around and about 20 feet away was a buck staring right at us. It's rutting season so young bucks can be aggressive. About 40 feet east of him was another one that looked just like him. He took off and they kept pace with us for about 5 minutes. My dog is a cardigan welsh corgi, bred for herding cattle. After they took off he thought he should try to keep up. It was hilarious after they started running away.

While I was slicing the veggies, my hand slipped, two of my fingers, the top layer hit the blade. I’m thankful it could of definitely been worse. Unfortunately it was my left hand so my activity is limited for a couple weeks.

Whaaaaat?! That is a crazy awesome walk. And even more whaaaaat?! I have a cardi too and she sniffed out a spot some deer had been bedding down right in our backyard yesterday. Im not sure what she would have done had she actually seen them?!5 -
Today I am blessed to be sharing this holiday with my coworkers/teammates in a fulfilling career I enjoy.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.7 -

This is my sixth round. I am starting not to freak out as much over the daily fluctuations. Went up a little bit at the end of last round, so 2.5 isn't too unreasonable. On the other hand, I've been pushing a 1000 calorie deficit for 2.5 weeks now and I think I'm going to have a slightly smaller deficit this round.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 166.5 -- Phew. I was super hungry and craving sweets and honestly everything yesterday. Kept trying to have a healthy filling something and it was all subtraction stew. Jogged in place at 10 pm to finish my steps and cover my extra snacking, so still had a big deficit. Glad to see that my indulgence in a scone did not move the scale the wrong way!!
11/15 166 -- Nice to see. Interesting observation: I am doing a monthly support group with a weekly weigh in. In that group I had a 3 lb loss last week, despite only a 1 lb loss in Round 57. Then this week, having finished round 58 with a 3 pound loss, I posted a .5 pound gain. Puts things in perspective about daily fluctuations! On another note NSV--three people at the gym yesterday independently commented on how good I looked and the weight I had lost. I've lost 33 lbs since June. I don't think the first 20 were so noticeable, but now there is a difference!
11/16 165.5 -- Hungry again yesterday. Somehow the low carb hamburger casserole that I made tasted good but felt more like subtraction stew. Don't think I will make that again! Combatted the hunger by going to zumba! So I guess that was a win!
11/17 164.5 -- What a nice surprise! Hopefully it's not just that I didn't drink enough water yesterday. Forgot to drink during the day, so guzzled before bed! Had a lovely breakfast with my husband and youngest this morning. Bacon & spinach & cheese omelet. After being hungry for 3 days, I was full after half the omelet and two slices of bacon, so I saved the rest for later. Have a great weekend everyone!
11/18 163.5 -- Whoosh! Clearly I should take a rest day and sit around more often!
11/19 166 -- Celebrated my husbands birthday. So I stood around all afternoon making cake, instead of exercising. And then I ate the cake. Only half a piece....only 200 over calories (which is still less than maintenance) but clearly carby. Hopefully it goes away as quickly as it came!
11/20 165.5 -- Probably shouldn't eat the cake, even when I have calories to spare if I want this number to go down faster. Exercised a bunch yesterday.
11/21 164.5 -- That's better. (Actually, the scale showed 164 twice, this number twice...fingers crossed!) Now to keep that or go a little lower for tomorrow...and then pie. Clearly not a great plan!
11/22 164 -- Baked all afternoon....licked the bowl, but otherwise ate ok. Now to fill up on vegetables, turkey and green beans today! Don't get me wrong....I'll eat the other stuff too, just only a little! Happy Thanksgiving to all my buddies!!

Hmm. Just realized that's my goal for this round....too bad we go another day!!10 -

@SuzyH Like you, I'm not ready to jump yet. I like the Chalean Extreme program, which has strength training and cardio. She has someone demonstrating modified movements you can use until you build up your strength and endurance. Seven years ago, when I first did the program, I managed to work up to the unmodified workouts. I purchased the program at BeachBody.com.2

176.0 What??????? I did everything so right yesterday! 1271 calories in, 2364 calories out. 10,262 steps. 4.34 miles. 3 floors. 13/13 step hours. 6 hours 48 minutes of sleep which only occurs about once per month with me, (usally 3.5 to 4.5 hours per night) so sleep was the only change. 9 glasses of water. Healthy low carb foods. Wow was I disappointed! However, with the huge whoosh yesterday I will not complain. I usually only retain water after a large or carby meal and I didn’t have one so I’m just a little confused, but I will chalk it up as my body doing corrections and recalibrating.
Today I will likely go to dinner with a friend. Our family Thanksgiving dinner will be on Sunday. But I still feel like I want to do something “special today”. That will likely mean two Thanksgiving dinners now but I will bounce back because, like all of us here on “just give me 10 days”, I am more than capable. I am mighty, unstoppable and cannot be defeated! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Round 57 – Finished at 163.6 (2 lb. loss)

11/20 161.0 I’m back! There’s no place like home! I only lost .4 lb in my 11 days of travel, but I could have easily gained. The boring hotel breakfasts of eggs, sausage, and, sometimes, bacon, begged for a cup of yogurt, a piece of fruit, or a pastry, but I remained strong. Three great New England seafood meals with veggies fit well into my keto WOE, but I couldn't resist a cup of seafood chowder at the No Name in Boston. I confess to eating the roll containing my lobster roll in Portland, ME, and I ate a few cookies provided by sweet church ladies. My secret prayer partner obviously knows my weakness for coconut and gave me a package of mini Almond Joys. I ate two or three, gave some away, and brought the remainder home to my husband. We did a lot of walking through museums and churches in D.C. and Boston, the Freedom Trail in Boston, Mount Vernon, the Roosevelt and Vanderbilt homes, etc. We sang and shared our message of "Sharing Jesus With Urgency" a total of 11 times as we traveled in Virginia, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. We survived Winter Storm Avery and had a couple of snowball fights. In places, the snow covered fall foliage was a beautiful sight. I'm third from the right in the pic, before snow, with the Vietnam Memorial behind us.
11/21 160.4 Thor was happy to get our walk in yesterday. While I was away, I don’t know if he missed me or the walks more. Now, I’m trying to stay calm as I make Thanksgiving meal preparations. My sister will bring the ham and some high-carb sides. I must bake a Pumpkin Cake (favorite of my husband and sister). I’ll pick up two pies I ordered from our local chef. I will cook the turkey and dressing, along with a couple of low-carb vegetable casseroles—twice-baked cauliflower and a spinach/broccoli casserole. I’ve already decided what I will and will not eat tomorrow. A sliver of pecan pie is on my “to eat” list.
11/22 160.0 Twenty pounds to go. I’m anxious to be in the 150’s, but I don’t expect to see it tomorrow. I will eat well today, with the exception of a sliver of pecan pie. That alone will probably keep me above 160 lb. The turkey and dressing are cooking, and I still have two low-carb casseroles to put together. I woke up with a sore throat, but I hope to get through the day before it gets worse. My roommate on the trip had a nasty cold. If I have to have a cold, I’m glad mine has waited this long to manifest itself. Give thanks with a grateful heart on this Thanksgiving Day and every day!

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 3rd consecutive round. The less said about round 58 the better.
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 59
SW for this round: 297 lbs (annoyingly up 2 lbs over the last challenge)
GW for this round: 293 lbs (drop 4 lbs)
Day 01. 11/14 297 lbs
Day 02. 11/15 296.5 lbs. I'll take every small win after the last round.
Day 03. 11/16 296.5 lbs. We had dinner out last night after taking family Xmas photos. I knew as I ate the delicious Teriyaki chicken and noodles that there was too much salt for me and too many carbs. I would have been helped by eating a couple of Turkey rollups before we left the house. Or having a high-protein shake (i.e. Premier which provides 30g of protein). Then I might have sensibly passed on the noodles and picked a more appropriate (for me) main dish.
Day 04. 11/17 296 lbs. Moving slowly in the right direction.
Day 05. 11/18 295.5 lbs. Still moving they way I want it to go.
Day 06. 11/19 295 lbs. Good. I'll take 1/2 lb a day as long as I can get it.
Day 07. 11/20 294.5 lbs. Very nice! I might make my 'lose 4 lbs' this challenge goal.
Day 08. 11/21 294 lbs. Another 1/2 lb. Very good!
Day 09. 11/22 293 lbs. Vigilance where starchy carbs and sugar are concerned, and a little bit of exercise, before Thanksgiving paying off. This gets me to my goal of 'lose 4 lbs' for this challenge. I shall be ultra-careful at my youngest brother's house today as the family assembles for Thanksgiving. I'd like to at lease still be at that goal when I weigh in the day after Thanksgiving. A tall order but I am motivated.
Down 4 lb so far this 10 day challenge.
Down 5 lbs so far on challenges (I plan on doing more of them).
Down 20 lbs total since I came back to myfitnesspal.
98 lbs to go to where I want to be: 195 lbs, the weight at which I got married8 -

I can’t believe this!!
I went through old records last night. My high wt was ~ 237. My lowest weight since June 2016 was ~ 208 (briefly) and between 220-237 the rest of the time.

@SuzyH Look online for Jane Fonda, I think it’s called Strength and Balance. They do that at our community center 3 x/week since it is an over 55 community.
@kayakart69 Be sure to join Round 60 if you haven’t already!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 - 185.4 - Busy day. Did pretty well on food intake. Lifted early in the morning to make up for Monday's lift that I missed and then played over 2 hours of full court basketball last night. Over 22,000 steps total on the day. We will see if I can continue to decrease from this weight over the next 10 days.
11/15 - 185.2 - Had a pretty good day. Solid calorie deficit and got a good lift in last night. A little worried that I possibly have an inguinal hernia. Getting it checked out on Monday. Hoping that isn't it because I have made pretty good progress in the weight room and really don't want to give that progress back and have to build back up if I have to have surgery. But it is what it is. Either way, I will keep working toward my goal.
11/16 - 185.4 - Had a nice deficit yesterday and actually showed self control at a Mexican restaurant, which is tough for me. Went to go workout, but was having some pain in my lower abdomen area near that possible hernia, so I cut off the workout. Hoping to have a good day today, last day of work for me for 9 days!
11/17 - 184.8 - Had a solid food deficit day and a good sleep last night. Got a light lift in. Not gonna go heavy until I see the doctor on Monday. Hope to continue the trend downward.
11/18 - 185.4 - Weighed but forgot to post
11/19 - 184.2 - Had a good day yesterday with calories and protein. Had dentist and doctor today so was out of the house and ate out for all 3 meals on the run (poor choices too, so I expect a weight jump tomorrow). Will try to get a workout in tonight.
11/20 - 185.2 - Pretty much what I expected after how I ate yesterday. Made pretty good choices today and played over 2 hours of full court basketball tonight, so I expect to see it go back down for tomorrow. Went to the doc on Monday. He doesn't think I have a hernia, instead he believes it to be a swollen lymph node. Ran some blood tests and am doing an ultrasound tomorrow morning to try to figure it out. Follow up is next Monday to go over blood work and ultrasound results. Good news is I got back in the weight room on Monday night and had a good workout, so we will see what he says. Gearing up for Turkey Day!
11/21 - 183.8 - Lowest weight yet. Did ultrasound this morning and confirmed swollen lymph nodes. After hearing that they were irregular in shape, I made the mistake of googling that and have now self diagnosed with every serious illness known to man. Will have to come back to see doc on Monday about results. Going to go workout and mow the yard after lunch. Turkey Day tomorrow!
11/22 - 184.6 - Had a really good day yesterday. Had a solid deficit and hit my macros. Got a nice lift in and got some things done that I needed to. Did have a pretty high sodium day which accounts for a little water weight gain. Going to enjoy Thanksgiving meal today but not go overboard. Probably eat at about maintenance today. Everyone have a great Thanksgiving!
