I'm in for this. Hello.
I'm 37, female, from USA. Going to meet my long distance beau of a few months (though we've been talking for a year this month) in January, so very motivated. We're both out of shape/ overweight and both working on it, so this is more about fitness than weight drops. We're hoping for a Jan. 4-6 weekend, so I can do four rounds!

Going for 1 hr cardio per day and 1400-1500 cals.

Did badly the past few, Thanksgiving leftovers, but stayed active. But I did some meal prep this evening so things should be doing better soon!

Confirmed travel plans with the boyfriend today, so that felt good regardless.

Just wanting to do a check-in. Got my hour of cardio today, but it was really hard. I like this thread and hope everyone's doing well, or just coming back to say hi, and stuff. You know, years ago when I had my most success at lowering my weight, I was on Calorie Count. But over the years they changed how their community features worked, and the support was gone. Only the most popular people really got any feedback, and it left you feeling alone. I actually attribute this to their eventual failure as a site. So I hope to be staying in these ten-day challenges for a sense of being part of a group. There may be days where I don't even log calories, but I'll always come here, I think.

12/03: (final weight)

I'm formally announcing that I won't be taking my weight every single day. I feel like the first, fifth, and tenth day are enough for me. Change isn't overnight and watching little fluctuations feels unneccessary. Right now, I don't think my weight has changed any, but I'm wearing jeans that I haven't put on for a couple of weeks, and they are distinctly, noticeably looser.

I am also doing keto. (Low carb diet was recommended to me by a doctor, and I've put it off long enough.) I'm not counting calories for the next two days, just getting through those first-three-days-to-a-week carb cravings the best way I can. Not gonna beat myself up over the meat and cheese calories as long as I can get that glucose burned off. A short term sacrifice for long term results. Then I will resume calorie logging/ restriction. Last time I did keto for a couple of weeks, the appetite reduction was great. I know I'll have no issue restricting calories too, once I'm burning fat instead of carbs.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Only weighing on days 1, 5, and 10.

Glad today to see a couple of pounds have come off. I only made it through half an hour of cardio today, due to interruptions from roommates and family, but that half hour was the full first section of Jillian Michael's extreme shed and shred. It's a beast of a workout if you're out of shape, and I am. (But not too much longer, I'm sure, if I keep doing it.) After an interruption at the end of the video, I was geared down again, heart rate had dropped, and couldn't talk myself back into doing more, even if it was easier. I think my body was like, YES, NOW WE CAN REST HOORAY! I'm sure everyone here knows what I mean.

Keto is going well. I've been wanting sweets, of course, but curbed it tonight with a good deal of cucumber and olive oil, and some cheese and salami. In spite of not restricting calories- again, just doing whatever it takes to get through the carb cravings the first few days- I'm actually eating less than 2000 calories. I didn't log or weigh to as great a degree as when I'm doing strict calorie counting, but I've done enough of that, that my estimate for today was about 1800. I'll round up and say it was 2000, which is REALLY good when I've done 30 minutes of intense cardio. I made a fathead pizza this morning and didn't feel the need to eat again until dinner. This is good. This is the kinda thing I need. I don't have keto odors yet, though, so gotta keep trying for under 20 carbs. Had around 25 today. Perfectly okay with me.

I feel good! Everyone else, I hope you all feel good, too.

11/24- New start for me. The doctor told me yesterday all I went through to indulge during the holidays. With being on steroids twice, my weight is high having a hard time finding a Christmas dress so no indulging.

11/25- I found a dress, my first big party coming up on Saturday, some of my friends don't even know that I had a brain tumour. Goal this week to get more exercise in.

11/26-Super busy day! My grandson had a very bad cough, took him the doctors office, I never saw it so busy.

11/27- My full day has been spent with my grandson he is only five and he had to take 2 steroids to get his cough to slow down, I will get back on track when he is feeling better.
11/28- Today was the second day we decorated our house with Christmas lights and we need one more day, my steps are back up.

Sorry it took so long to get back to the forum. Long post, I’m afraid. But I know that through this forum I am reaching people of both sexes, many persuasions, lots of religions and belief systems, many races, many ages and many levels of understanding, so I appreciate the opportunity to post to all of you who have been kind enough to have me in your life for a few moments every day.

Okay, so here is my juicy tidbit but first a quick background: I go to the local Moose pool hall with my male friend Joey nearly every Thursday. He plays pool, I bring potluck. Joey has been a neighbor and friend to myself (and my deceased husband) for nearly 19 years. I am sure when I first started going that some folks probably thought we were a couple. Since, when people have asked, I have assured them “no.” I am only there as a supportive friend and that has always been understood by us both. While at the pool hall, I make sure I get up every hour and go outside (basically to the deck smoking area) to get my 250 steps in per hour. If I go out any other door I would be locked out as I’m not a member. I am sure many people thought I was a smoker going out for a cig, but not true. People have started to get to know me better and now know that I don’t smoke, I am just following my fitbit.

3 weeks ago, as Joey and I were leaving, a really really nice lady stopped us on our way out and said the following: “Do you see that man over there?” I said, “Yes”. She said, “He doesn’t eat any meat, not a drop.” So I am thinking, Okay, nice to know, right? Then she says, “You like doing healthy things, and so does he. I think the two of you should talk. You would probably have a lot to talk about.”
I suddenly realized that many had been checking the status between Joey and I. Lots of questions, etc. I’m now thinking that they were checking for him since he is part of the “original gang” and I am the newbie. Honestly, I had no idea what in the world to say! I said, “I take it he is single?” and she said yes and smiled……… I quickly left.

Now, I have been a widow for nearly 3 years. I am 58 years old. While it’s true that if I live another 30 years until, say, age 88, I probably do not want to spend those 30 years alone. But I have never even entertained the idea that I might be ready NOW. I don’t even know his name. I can say that at my age many men look old and withered or worn in my opinion (sad but true). But this is a very very nice looking man. Well dressed, clean, very handsome. Looks to be about my age, I think. Is he interested or is it just Rose trying to play matchmaker? Has he made comments to the others who’ve been asking me questions about my status? I was so scared that I skipped the following week and did not even go. It was the week of the event's Thanksgiving feast, but I missed it because of this. The following Thursday was the real Thanksgiving so the event was cancelled. This week, I plan on going again because I don’t want to stop going over this. But I am nervous as all get-out!

Horrible timing. I am just getting ready to see a Plastic Surgeon in December for the breast cancer issues. House still in renovations. In the middle of my weight loss journey (he never saw me full-fat). Maybe this whole thing is innocent. Maybe he’s never even noticed me. Should I ask Rose if he has ever said anything (which would be construed as interest}? Should I consider exchanging phone numbers or going out at some point if he were to ask? Is it betraying my DH (who is in heaven)? Should I just stop going so I can avoid the whole thing? What do I want to do? Bury my head in the sand, of course, and not be put in a position of having to make hard decisions. After all, what kind of man is he? Does he drink too much and do nothing fruitful with his time but play pool and get drunk everyday? Is he kind? Why is he alone at his age? What is wrong with him? Wait! I’m alone too and I’m okay. Truly, I’m so confused and my thinking HAS WENT OFF THE RAILS over something that could be very innocent. Have I broke down into tears off and on for the past 3 weeks for nothing? (Yes, I've been that affected). What do I do tomorrow? What do I do? Any thoughts, opinions, advice or words of wisdom? SOS, SOS.

P.S. I leave tomorrow evening at about 5:15 PM U.S. EST for the pool hall. I will anxiously read all posts tonight and tomorrow.

11/28 -181.8- This is my new maintenance weight it. It's been pretty steady recently. Did really well yesterday. Going to try to do the same today. I packed some hummus today with my carrots but I just realized that one little cup is 160 calories and, as a lot of you know, that's kind of a lot of calories for someone who's in a deficit! So I think I'm just going to save it for dinner because I know I'm going to get hungry otherwise.

I LOVE hummus and carrots and it FEELS so healthy to be eating hummus. But, those calories do add up fast and I could eat a whole container at one sitting if I weren't careful. I just cannot buy it very often. Same thing with peanut butter, even the LowFat JIF kind which I love. Those two items are just about as bad as chocolate for me.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one lol! I will say that it did help me feel satiated somehow. I'm not sure if it was due to the hummus (maybe the healthy fat content?) or what but I thoroughly enjoyed it lol.

I'm 38 years old, from UK and 5'11

I’m baaaaaack! I’ve definitely fallen off since I stopped doing these challenges. We’ve had a few hiccups at home, with a family member visiting, then injuring themselves, so they’ve been in the hospital for over a week, and we’re a bit all over the place. Admittedly I used that as an excuse to eat poorly last weekend and while my weight hasn’t gone up too much, it hasn’t gone done either. I’ll still be logging on Lose It! but I’ll be here daily for my check-ins
