JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 59

kmfeig87 · November 2018

Female, 5' 4 1/2 " age 53
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!!
11/23

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

@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.

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!

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 married

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!

@FarmerCarla When I started doing BeachBody workouts, I even modified the modifications.

@MadisonMolly2017 Congratulations! Job well done!

To all of my friends here, I wish a blessed and happy Thanksgiving Day! Whether you are American or not, be thankful for what you have!

Male, 39
6'0"

Goal: Get BF% to 10-12%, then bulk.

Round 57: +2.6 (15.1%)
Round 58: -1.8 (15.1%)

Starting Weight for Round 59: 187.4

Good luck to everyone this round. My goal is to break the 185 barrier by the end of Round 59.

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!

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.

11/13 132.0 Final weight in Rnd 58
••••••
11/14 132.0 (Art Quilts, etc potluck) I need to drink LOTS of water!
11/15 131.5 (Community Thanksgiving potluck)
11/16 131.5. I survived potluck #2. Dinner and play this evening
11/17 131.5 What a beautiful evening it was! The sunset featured rainbows in the clouds. Salad, steak, and fresh green beans with garlic at Ellis Island Casino before going to see “The Andrews Brothers” at the Super Summer Studio. I need to drink more water!!
11/18 131.5 Still not drinking enough water. Didn’t go to bed until 2AM this morning and up before 6. Today is Carl’s 70th birthday. He does not like to celebrate but DD#2 and family are taking us to “lun-ner.” I think I’m going back to bed now. *Slept another hour and a half!*
11/19 131.0. WOW! Didn’t wake up until just after 8AM! BBQ for Carl’s birthday yesterday. I was stuffed but wanted to eat more because it tasted so good. I didn’t but I wanted to! DD #2 came over this morning and gave us both haircuts. She does such an amazing job! I’m late posting and haven’t read beyond page 14. Lots of catching up to do in the morning.
11/20 131.0 Busy day yesterday! Haircuts, some groceries, pick up neighbors at the airport and gym with Amy! Today I have to go to Sam’s Club to get the rest of the ingredients I need for Thanksgiving and Saturday Sew Day. Low on water again.
11/21 130.5 Busy day today getting ready for tomorrow at DD#2’s house.
11/22 131.0 Happy Thanksgiving! I have spent most of the last 4 hours in the kitchen and when I sat down a few minutes ago my Garmin chirped that I hadn’t moved enough in the last 2 hours! Such is life.

Cold weather is making me hungrier - I'm sure I have company in that, yes? I'm not craving junk, just more good stuff. I see a big bowl of vegetable soup in my future....

11/15 - 133 - 1303 - 10-day ave 1254
Freezing rain all morning, so I've been catching up on laundry and cleaning, moving some furniture and books around, and other stuff. And a friend's DH fell off a step stool while changing a light bulb and broke his back in 3 places - yikes! They're gluing it back together this afternoon, so her beautiful Springer Spaniel, Star, is hanging out at our house. She's lying I my lap as I write this.

11/16 - 131.6 - 973 - 10-day ave 1219
Whoa! That would have knocked my socks off if I'd had any on when I weighed in this morning! I did have a very low cal day yesterday, not really by planning, but I was satisfied and just decided to go with it. I can't believe I'm a pound and a half away from my "I'll probably never reach it but wouldn't it be great" goal. It will be 4 years in Feb. since I started this journey for real (after years of "trying" to lose weight and ending up heavier in the long run). Keep at it, folks!

11/17 - 131.2 - 1132 - 10-day ave 1203
I guess eating more last round primed the pump to lose again this round. Maybe I'll get through Thanksgiving with a loss. Have a great weekend, everyone.

11/18 - 130.6 - 992 - 10-day ave 1136
Wow. I can't believe I'm finally (almost) here. And in other news...we brought this guy home yesterday! He hasn't told us his name yet, but he's 3.5 months old and just lovely. (This was the only time he was still enough to get a picture!) >^..^<

11/19 - 130 - 1037 - 10-day ave 1096
WOOHOO! I did it! Four years ago today I was 88.2 pounds heavier than I am this morning. And it isn't just about the weight -- I'm healthier, more comfortable, better able to do the things I enjoy.... It's been a journey and an education, and that will continue as I strive to maintain. These challenges have been a big boost, too, over the past 15 months, so BIG thanks again to @GrandmaJackie and all of you. Now to slowly get my calories up to figure out my maintenance level. Oh, and my kitten has revealed that his name is Stirling (with an "i" after the city in Scotland where my mother was born). >^..^<

11/20 - 130.2 - 1110 - 10-day ave 1071
I had bread yesterday for the first time since I started the elimination diet 10 weeks ago - Dave's Killer Good Seed thin sliced. Yum!!! Now I'm trying to figure out just how to approach maintenance. I think the habits I've formed over the past 4 years will help me hold the line, but I also suspect that doing so is just as much a challenge as losing. Daily accountability will also help, so thanks, group!

11/21 - 131 - 1209 - 10-day ave 1056
I know I was short on water yesterday, so that plus the addition of bread to my diet = holding a little water. On the plus (or minus?) side, I bought a cozy pair of fleece-lined leggings in the jrs dept, size medium, and they're too baggy, so I exchanged them for small and they fit perfectly.

11/22 - 131 - 1390
Happy Thanksgiving, all! I plan to eat what I want at dinner, but that's it, then back on track. Wishing you all much to be thankful for.

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 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, -.4

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.
11/20 – 161.2 Off to teach this am. Having successfully kept my eating in line this week, I am determined to not reward myself with food. What an awful habit. There are many other rewards that would actually make me feel good afterwards.
11/21 – 160.8
11/22 – 161.4 – Shopping in the city yesterday; careful at noon but some high calorie snacking on the way home and in the evening. Just glad the blip up was not worse. Now have to remember the doughnut picture and rein it in rather than make it worse. Upside is that I’ve been planning that trip for a couple of months and now it’s done and I’m stocked up on bulk foods for the winter. Happy Thanksgiving – I’m not American but thankful is always good!

Round 58 : -0.2kg

11/14 – 58.0kg Had late night work yesterday so while working I binged on potato chips.

11/15 – 58.1kg (+0.1kg) ate lot of chips and rice yesterday, managed to work really hard in the gym today early in the morning.

11/16 - 57.9kg (-0.2kg) Ate within calorie limit.

11/17 - 57.8kg (-0.1kg) It was a good day yesterday, food within calories and also hit gym in the morning for 1hr and in the evening for another half an hour.

11/18 - 58.1kg (+0.3kg) Ate too much rice yesterday ☹ and had a lot of food today as well, my weight might go up even higher tomorrow. Will try to drink lot of water and will exercise more in the gym tomorrow.

11/19 - 57.8kg (-0.3kg) Kept drinking lot of water yesterday and didn’t eat anything for dinner last night as I felt heavy from all the food that I had for lunch. Will go to gym in the evening.

11/20 - 58.0kg (+0.2kg) This is what happens to me when I end up having late night dinners.

11/21 - 57.8kg (-0.2kg) Spent good time in gym lifting weights, I think I ate more than my calorie limit.

11/22 - 58.0kg (+0.2kg) food! Food! And food! No gym yesterday.

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.
11/20 - ??? i weighed in everyday but skipped one somewhere
11/21 - 210.2
11/22 - 208.8 -- wooooo!!! heres hoping i can make it through today

11/14 191.5. I Passed my biology midterm!!! Food yesterday was salty and so was the food today (I tried the impossible burger at a local bar/restaurant today. It was good, but not meat-like at all) I’m behind on my water right now, so I might see a bump on the scale tomorrow lol.
11/15 192. Water weight.
11/16 192. I’ve noticed that my body loves this weight, and her chaotic-neutral sister, 192.1 lol. I remember sitting at that weight for over a week once. Tomorrow is the banquet for our local silhouette rifle shooting club, and because I helped out at the cook shack during the summer, I was invited to go. So I will dress up in my new dress, wear high heels and makeup for the first time in a while, and have a lovely evening. I’ll try to remember to take a photo of me in my dress and maybe of the dinner, if I bring my phone.
11/17 191.1. Too tired to post the pictures. I didn’t take any of my food, but I’ll post one of me tomorrow. Overate, so I might be up tomorrow.

11/15 - 245lb - up a bit from last few days but not worried. It’s my birthday tomorrow so going to try and keep it light today to allow myself a little indulgence tomorrow and Saturday.
11/16 🎂 birthday 🍰
11/17 -didn’t weigh-
11/18 - 243.5lb - today I stepped on the scales after my birthday dreading what I’d find after chocolates and a takeaway but wasn’t too disappointed. In a way it’s meant I can skip the whole regret and self punishment and just concentrate on this coming week. Back to tracking today and hoping to pull this back on track 💪🏻😊
11/19 - 243.1lb - small down from yesterday but I’ll take it. Had a good day yesterday food wise and feeling in control starting today. I’ve meal planned and am doing my food shop this morning.
11/20 - 243.4 - slight fluctuation today but I created a decent deficit yesterday so I’m not worried. Sometimes I do find the fluctuations and retention frustrating but it seems I am prone to it and then will drop a lb or two at once. My trend has been continuously downwards since I began in September despite the fluctuations so that gives me some reassurance.
11/21- 243.8lb - still fluctuating but today am having a low calorie day so feel in a way at least some of the control will come back in that way. It’s hard when you know that you’re doing it right but you’re retaining for whatever reason. As always I’m following my moving average and that’s still going down. Just frustrating 😩
11/22- 242.5lb - getting closer to my goal now but with only a day more to lose 0.5lb I’m feeling a bit apprehensive whether I will be able to meet it 😬🤞🏻. The plan today is eggs on toast for breakfast, salad for lunch and undecided for dinner yet.
11/23- 241.7lb - 🎉 just scraped in by the skin of my teeth 💪🏻 feeling pleased.

Result of Rounds 56+57+58 = - 5.2 kg (-11.5 lbs.).
End of ROUND 58: 63.5 kg (139.9 lbs.)
GW for Round 59: 62 kg (136.7 lbs.)
Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 - 63.1 kg (139.1 lbs.). 7 km run in the morning. Has to do more today as we have a “special” heavy-loaded dinner tonight. Plan a 3 km walk during the lunch break and “six-pack in 6 weeks” before dinner. I wish success to everyone in this round.
11/15 - 63.0 kg (138.9 lbs.). Yesterday mission is completed. Did all my activities and the dinner (1,654 kcal) didn’t affect my weight at all. There is even 100g loss.
11/16 - 62.8 kg (138.5 lbs.). 7 km run in the morning. My body fat % now is below 20% (19.9%); for my age the lowest limit is 17.1%. Only short way to go!
11/17 - 62.6 kg (138.0 lbs.).
11/18 - 62.5 kg (137.8 lbs.). Did my run and walk (13km) yesterday and “six-pack in 6 weeks” today in the morning. Now going to thermal bath for swimming and sauna.
11/19 - 62.0 kg (136.7 lbs.). Not bad!
11/20 - 62.7 kg (138.2 lbs.). I don’t know what the reason is for +0,7kg. May be it’s just a cold weather. Anyway, I ran my 7km in the morning (in 2 tights and 3 shirts + a jacket)
11/21 - 62.2 kg (137.1 lbs.). “Six-pack in 6 weeks” in the morning.
11/22 - 61.9 kg (136.5 lbs.). 7 km run in the morning. According to my TomTom watch my fitness age is 41. So I decided to reset my goal weight to 58,1kg (128lbs) which is “ideal” weight for this age,
11/23 - 61.8 kg (136.2 lbs.). 7 km run in the morning.
RESULT OF ROUND 59: minus 1.3 kg (minus 2.9 lbs.)

Round 58 SW: 258.8 EW: 247.4 (-11.4)

I don't have a set goal for this round but my next mini goal is to be in 230's by the end of the year.
UGW: 165lbs by the end of next year.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/14 - 247.4...had a good day yesterday, stayed in calories, 100 oz of water and 50 mins of water aerobics.
11/15 - 247.4..early morning weigh and not enough sleep. Still sticking to plan and did water aerobics again yesterday. I knew I would stall a bit this round after such a big loss last round.
11/16 - 247.2...was a good day. Did water aerobics and some walking around while shopping. Was under calories and had 100 oz of water. This is actually the lowest weight I've been since August 2013!! 😀
11/17 - 246.2...woohoo!! I had major cravings for take out food yesterday, but managed to talk myself out of having any! I had moose meat, gravy and a few of my sons oven fries instead..was yummy and within calories.
11/18 - 245.2...no exercise yesterday, spent half of the day looking at houses with my mother and the other half relaxing. I didn't have enough calories eaten by 8pm so I had a tuna sandwich, I don't normally eat that late and didn't expect a loss today.
11/19 - 245.2...stayed within calories yesterday, but had a bit of a cheat day food wise. Took my son to a birthday party and had a couple mini chocolate bars and few bites of cake and we had takeout for supper. Happy that I didn't turn it into an eating frenzy..bit of a nsv for me.
11/20 - 246.6..within calories but by using some of my exercise calories back. 30 min walk and 100oz of water.
11/21 - 246.6..I had a decent day but then I went out to pick up a few things after my son went to bed and had an extreme craving (and I was hungry) for McDonald's. I ended up getting a meal with a milkshake and ate around 9:30 😐. I'm surprised I'm not up this morning. Going to drink lots of water and get back on track today.
11/22 - 246.6..I think my scale is stuck 🤨 lol. I didn't exercise yesterday, but my calories were very low (I just wasn't hungry) and I had 125oz of water. My son is sick and had a fever and cough all night so I didn't get much sleep. Hoping for a drop tomorrow.
11/23 - 244.8..😀 did 50 mins of water aerobics, had 125 oz of water and was under calories. My son is still sick and he's passed it on to me so we've been up since 3am..today is probably going to be a high calorie day.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/14: 67.5 - Really didn't feel well yesterday morning, which is why I forgot to post. Pretty bad day, over calories, and a very low burn. Being ill is really taking it out of me.
11/15: 67.1 - Better. Was trying to eat about maintenance, but because I'm still not feeling well my burn is way down so I ended up over again. These last three days have not been good for the calorie balance and is completely messing up all my spreadsheet tracking. I'm starting to come out the other side, so I'm hopeful that I can make the week balance out and not end up over for the week. I think it might be time to start making some sensible choices again.
11/16: 67.5
11/17: 68.9
11/18: 68.5
11/19: 68.4
11/20: 68.0
11/21: 67.6
11/22: 67.4

11/23: 67.2 - So I've been hiding in the corner for most of this round, stalking the thread, but not wanting to post because of how badly my weight has been heading. ^There's the update and you can see why I might've thrown a bit of a tantrum with my weight. Mostly because I spent a week averaging in surplus which the 16th contributed massively with a 900kcal binge on takeaway pizza and the scales were not kind to me because of it. This week has been fine considering and the numbers have been dropping, but it really does show that one bad day can take some time for the scales to recover (damn you fluid retention). Anyway I thought I should really come back and actually update properly with what's going on.

Round summary: -0.3kg
I mean I kinda did it above, however, good overall. Down 0.3kg and I'm hopeful that it will continue to drop a little more at a fast-ish pace. Hopefully back under 67kg again soon! Lets go round 60!

15/11 Did a half hearted weights session yesterday, not really on form this week, not sure if it's weather or continued after effects of a big weekend. Anyway today's goals are to stay on track calorie wise and get lower body weights' session in
16/11 Had to postpone weight training again, went to a friend's graduation after work, calories were around maintenance so all round not a great day for my goals. However, weight continues to come down, I got 15,000 steps in, Protein was on target and had a very good sleep so it's not all doom & gloom. Today's goal are simply to eat below maintenance and try and get out for a run.
19/11 Felt a bit rundown over the weekend so just did a bit of cardio - rowing on Saturday and a bit of walking/jogging on Sunday, think I have a cold coming on, I've kept calories around maintenance over the weekend and had ridiculous appetite increase which is usually an indicator for me that I'm getting sick along with an increase in my resting heart rate. Rest Day today and aiming to be in my full calorie deficit by the end of the day but will be happy if I come in under maintenance, going to try not to buy anything outside of my planned meals/snacks this week
20/11 Did the grocery shopping yesterday, bought only what was necessary for my week's plan, calories were pretty much on point so happy with yesterday. Today's goals are to stick with my food plan and get a lower body training session in.
21/11 Came in a little under calorie allowance yesterday and got my lower body workout in. Appetite seems to have dropped off a little now at least. Today's goals are to stick to plan again and get an upper body workout in at lunchtime.
22/11 Stuck to calories and completed my upper body workout at lunchtime yesterday. Today's goals are to stay on track, I've already done a 6km row in choppy waters today so just want to do a little yoga this evening to stretch everything out.

23/11 Final day of Round 59 and all my water weight from the end of the previous round is gone and I'm down another 1.2lbs so seems I am being better with my logging accuracy than I had been for a while ran a little under calorie allowance yesterday as wasn't as hungry as normal, I am sure the extra calories will come in handy at the weekend. Today's goals are to stick to calorie allowance and if the rain eases off to get out for a run, if it's still raining might just jump on the exercise bike and watch some TV

tinkerbellang83 · November 2018

@Deviette it's taken me most of the round to clear all the water weight I had from one night out/exercise. I've genuinely stopped caring about the day-to-day weight because of how volatile my water weight fluctuations are. It's why I focus so much on my non-scale goals.

11/15 - 261.2 - mixed nuts, homemade oatbran muffins, apricot jam - a bit of a feedfest before bed
11/16 - 261 - ate too much food last night to see a significant loss this morning. My food is too delicious!

11/17 - 260.2 - if I keep it together today, I should finally see 259ish tomorrow. The 260s have overstayed their welcome!
