Day/Weight/Comment
11/24 - 245.8..made cake and cupcakes for my sons birthday today, and got into the cupcakes. They were yummy! We're still both sick but excited for his party today. Definitely going to be another high calorie day, but I'm going to enjoy it and then get back on track tomorrow.
11/25 - 245.8..took the day off as planned yesterday and enjoyed my sons birthday. Back at it today though.
11/26 - 243.8...weighed 3 times and it was the same but I still don't believe it. I did not get back on track yesterday as planned and ate at probably around maintenance. Possibly dehydrated as I only had 50 oz of water I think. Still sick and wanting to eat bad things but I will not do it today!!!
11/27 - 243.8?...not really sure. I couldn't stop coughing last night so I wasn't able to get to sleep until 4:30am. Woke at 6:30 when my son woke and weighed in at 246.4. Went back to bed a little later until 2pm and weighed in at 243.8. Oh and I also ate a bunch of chips and cookies with milk when I wasn't able to sleep 🙁 I'm sure I'll be up tomorrow.
11/28 - 243.8...probably dehydration, didn't have much of anything to drink yesterday.
11/29 - 243.8...amazed to still see this number cause I haven't been doing great. This cold has really knocked all strength and motivation out of me. Not feeling as crappy today so I'm going to at least turn the eating around...still no energy to exercise though.
11/30 - 243.8..had one meal yesterday at around 5pm, it was a big one but still within calorie goal. I haven't been getting nearly enough water and I'm feeling bloated.
12/01 - 243.8..ate at around maintenance yesterday. Very little sleep last night, up at 3am, sons been up since 3:30am. Took him to the doctor yesterday and he has pink eye on top of his cold. If he doesn't get better soon (colds been around for 2 weeks) I'm going to have to take him to hospital..he has cerebral palsy so not a lot of muscle strength to move anything that builds up, which worries the hell out of me of course. My cold seems to have picked back up as well and I may need to go to the doctor myself. With all the sickness and stress this week I'm happy to be maintaining.
12/02 - 241.4...weighed a bunch of times and they were all the same. I don't believe it though. Lol. I did only have about 1200 calories yesterday but that wouldn't make me drop over 2lbs. I updated my weight in mfp yesterday and it knocked me down to 1230 calories, I had a hard time staying in the 1300 calories I had, so I changed my loss to 1.5lbs a week instead of 2. Hopefully it doesn't slow down my progress too much.
12/03

When my weight is off like that, I always check if there is something under the scale. (Having cats, littler can reach over there.) However, woman's weight fluctuates all the time. From gaining weight around "Aunt Flow" to losing weight from ending of it. That's why I wait a few days or little over a week before I log. However, on my period app. I add my weight every single day. To see when I gain or lose weight. (So, I don't feel bad if I gain two or four pounds out of no where.)

Hi everyone ~ so happy to be here! I've been with MFP since February 2018 and have lost about 40 lbs. Early on, I weighed myself daily for a brief period but couldn't handle it!! The emotional up and downs of the scale made me a little cray cray so I stopped for the sake of my family, lol. Then between June and November I lost my mom, my job and my fitness mojo. I regained 13 lbs (including the recent holiday), but have lost 10 of it again so yayyy me. It's been very difficult to motivate myself and remain consistent, but believe I'm finally back on track and strong enough now to handle a daily weigh-in, lololo. Thanks for the opportunity.

51, Standing: 5'9"
OSW: 274 ~ CSW: 236.8 ~ GW: 190
R60 - 1st round

11/24
11/25
11/26 ~ 236.8 (up 2.6 lbs from DAYS of Holiday yumminess - no regrets!)

11/27 ~ 236.2 - been pushing more than usual to counter balance all the carbs and sugar and feeling a little sore this morning. So even though my inner competitor wants to run 10 laps, today will definitely be a rest day. (UPDATE: was feeling so good did 30 minutes of HIIT in the afternoon)

11/28 ~ 238.0 - WT? Poor sleep maybe? It better be muscle!

11/29 ~ 236.8 – Yesterday was so carb heavy I was afraid to look! But I stayed within calorie count and got in some exercise, so this time it worked like it should, lol. Definitely need to keep it simple the next few days.

11/30 ~ 235.0 – yessss! almost back to my pre-holiday weight of 234.2. I have to say, while still no regrets for the holiday eating, I’ve had to work almost 3x as hard to lose the weight this time. I know I need time and consistency to build up a momentum again, but definitely going to be more mindful of this going forward.

DECEMBER GOAL: Do my best to end the year on a high note.

12/01 ~ 233.8 and 7 inches lost since last month! Feeling pretty good this morning ~ BUT ~ will have guests through Monday morning so fingers crossed it keeps dropping, lol. Have a great weekend everyone!

12/02 ~ 234.4 - talk to the hand scale, I'm still 7 inches down so whatever man. Onwards and downwards!

Day/Weight/Comment:
11/24 - 187.8 Down is always the right direction. Got over three miles in yesterday and stayed within calorie goals even with a half a piece of pecan pie! Thankfully the leftovers are all gone. I'm just happy to have made it through Thanksgiving without a gain. I have decided if the weather holds out I am going to try to get 50 miles in before the end of the month.
11/25 - 187.3 It ain't much but I'll take it, happily. I did not end up walking yesterday. I went to a funeral (step grandfather I didn't know well but needed to go for my step Mom who I love) and the chatting after lasted too long to get a walk in before dark. I have three hours before the snow starts, I am trying to talk myself into walking before the storm, but it's cold... Whining doesn't make me healthier just fatter. Ok I'm going dang you guys are tough on a girl!
11/26 - 187.8 I'm sure this is due to a high sodium day yesterday. I did get my three miles in though, finished just as the rain that turned into ice that turned into snow started. It was actually a great walk after the first half mile of freezing. I didn't see another person or even animal on the trail. Usually I see or hear squirrels off in the woods - not yesterday.
11/27 - 186.4 Woohoo goodbye retained water!!! The only exercise I got yesterday was snow-shoveling the driveway. I turned on the MapMyFitness app. It said I burned 371 calories in 25 minutes. I know that's not right though I did work up a sweat. Tonight is gym night and I even remembered my clothes so I don't have to go home first. Of course I did forget my breakfast and lunch I was bringing to work... Meal planning is great and everything IF you remember to bring it with you.
11/28 - 186.7 Nothing but a blip! Yesterday's drop was a little dramatic so I think this is more of a true-up. Half way thru this challenge already, it goes so quickly. I did a short walk yesterday trying to get to 45 miles but I had misremembered how far I needed and am still a little more than half a mile away. BUT since I still have three days and need to exercise, I'm going for 50. These self imposed goals encourage me when I'm thinking I'd rather not go out in the cold to walk. I still did weights after walking but not as much because I got overheated walking and one of the fun symptoms of MS is when you get hot you get weaker. Not an ideal time to lift weights. I couldn't do the same weights I normally do so I did slightly lower ones for fewer reps, but still feel pretty good about it. MS can suck it!
11/29 - 188.5 I got in a three mile walk and stayed within calories but somehow I'm up. As we always do I assume it's the sodium from yesterday. I won't lie it's a kick in the guts when you see a number that's 2 pounds more than yesterday and you know you've done everything right. It's the problem with weighing daily. I'm also not feeling well. Another frickin' cold, my head hurts, I'm sneezing like a fool but thankful for Dayquil. Good news tomorrow is another day, all we can do is trust the process. I'm less than 3 miles from getting 50 for November.
11/30 - 187.1 Sodium is the devil. I'm hopeful for 186.X by the end of the round. I am super excited because I got 50 miles in November! My cold is still here, which means I cannot see my immune suppressed boyfriend this weekend but I'm going to celebrate hitting 50 miles anyway. I don't want to set another mile goal for December because I couldn't do any other exercising when trying to get a mile goal. I'll still walk for the majority of my exercise but I need other things too. It's cold to much other than exercise videos or stationary bike, but on those few sunny days I'll play tennis. Happy Friday everyone!
12/01 - 186.6 A good day. No exercise but stayed within calorie limits. Girlfriend brought over some awesome Blackberry Crumble ice cream. It's delicious. I had my 1/2 cup so it would fit within 1400 calories but I wanted another scoop or 2 or 3. That's the lifestyle change right. One small amount of something indulgent is enough. The real challenge is I'm going to a party tonight. I'm definitely walking this morning before the rain starts up again. I'm looking forward to my happy trail just me and my brain time.
12/02 - 186.2 I got two miles in before the rain started. A little mad at myself that I didn't get an earlier start. I was just sitting around like a bum on a Saturday morning. But beating myself up doesn't help the overall cause. The party went well food wise. There were plenty of good things to eat (veggie soup and raw veggies with hummus). I did have a tiny slice of homemade key-lime pie and a mini red velvet cupcake. I did not stay within calorie goal but I only went over by 150 calorie and I'm down this morning. I'll take it!
12/03

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.

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!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/24 159.8 It’s great way to start a new round with a lower number than the last round! Thor and I walked 4.2 miles today. We’re slowly increasing our distance when my foot doesn’t hurt. On Monday I’ll see a podiatrist. I’m happy to be back for another round with you friendly folks! I pray it will be a great round for everyone here.
11/25 159.4 Nice to see, but, while my weight has gone down, I ate a little pecan pie and drank a little eggnog for the last three days, and my ketone level is down to less than .1. That’s my wake-up call—enough pie! I may have to put the last couple of slices in the freezer to give to my husband over time. He’s still working on the pumpkin pie, and there’s a lot of pumpkin cake left. It will disappear if he takes it to work tomorrow. To my credit, I haven’t even tasted the pumpkin cake. I give thanks every day, but I’m glad that holiday is behind me.
11/26 160.2 Whoops, I should have listened to myself yesterday. Last night, I made the decision that one ounce of pie and half a roll probably wouldn’t hurt me. Wrong! Beginning today, I will, once more, fully embrace the keto guidelines. What was I thinking? It’s cool out, so Thor and I can take a little walk and see if the pad the doctor put on my foot this morning is helpful. I still have time to get back in the 150’s before the end of the round.
11/27 159.8 I followed the rules yesterday and took a 3 mile walk with Thor. The podiatrist I saw yesterday thinks he can get me running without surgery. I hope he’s right. Today, I get to see what the dermatologist finds. My skin isn’t getting younger. I didn’t do a lot of sunbathing in my younger years, so that should help. Still, I’m fair skinned and had time in the sun, and I’m pretty sure a spot on my nose will be a concern. Fortunately, my soul is spotless, thanks to Jesus’ sacrifice on my behalf—that’s the critical issue. Praise God! I must keep everything in perspective.
11/28 159.4 Inching back down. Thor and I walked 4.8 miles this morning, without foot pain. We’re almost at the 5-mile mark, which I’ve determined is my cue to start C25K again. I was thrilled when my sweet daughter called yesterday and talked for two hours about keto/running/strength training. She started the keto WOE after my granddaughter told her I was losing weight with keto. She decided to try it and loves her results—15 lb. loss in 3 weeks and more energy. She cruises, often, with her husband and wants to recover her bikini figure. It will be a miracle if my daughter starts running. 😊 After I learned how to run, I enjoyed it. Maybe my daughter will, too. I had a spot on my nose burned by the dermatologist yesterday—hope that does it for a while.
11/29 158.8 I like being a loser, and I’ll do my best to keep being a loser. That said, I’ll still ditch my walk with Thor to play cards and socialize with my friends today.
11/30 157.6 This surprised me. I was worried, because I didn’t exercise, and I had a good lunch and a good dinner (keto approved, delicious and filling). Because I enjoyed my meals, I felt like I didn’t deserve to see a smaller number on the scale? God has blessed me with a lot of things I don’t deserve (salvation, life, family, etc.), so I should be used to it. Thank you, Lord, for every large and small blessing! Now, I’ll take Thor for a walk and, this evening, Good Lord willing, watch my youngest son coach his football team to another playoff win. Tomorrow’s his birthday, and another win would be a good way to celebrate!
12/1 157.0 Thor and I walked 5.2 miles yesterday—time to start running! I have a podiatrist appointment Monday, and I hope he can get my foot ready for running. My son’s football team didn’t win, but I’m still glad I went to the game. It was a beautiful evening to be outside. I haven’t heard if his twin’s basketball team won their tournament game last night. Win or lose, they both get to celebrate their birthdays today! 😊 It's hard to believe my babies are 37 today. Where did the time go?
12/2 157.6 I have an idea why the scale is up again today, but, it’s time to get ready for church. This is the day the Lord has made, so, let’s rejoice and be glad in it! Make every day count. Every day, I try to be mindful that this could be the day I’m called home or, perhaps, the day the whole church is called out. We live in exciting times!
