11/24 155.2
11/25 156.2 Two hours hill climbing & some salty food. Feels like legs are re-building muscle! Food has been in control.

11/26 155.6 11K steps, food under
Two SMART Goals from 1pm today through end of this Round:
Goal 1. No eating out. I slowed it down- now time to stop. Effects the quality of my nutrition.
Goal 2. No refined sugar. Have not been eating it often, nor too much, but I could see it growing...


11/27 155.4 16,739 steps fast walk, building up muscles again.
Day 1: Goal 1 ✅ Goal 2 ✅
Slept 💤 7:00 hours❣

11/28 156.4 HIIT (6 intervals) + 7,421 steps
Day 2: Goal 1 ✅ Goal 2 ✅
My scale did not cooperate, but I’m walking much faster & doing the HIIT ie Quads are sore most of time! So likely hanging on to some water. I’m going to stay the course
Slept 💤 7:15 hours❣

11/29 156.4 47 mins walking carrying groceries, moved all day. 11,511 steps
Food clean. Some salt. My Mantra: “Muscles are good. Muscles are good”
Day 3: Goal 1 ✅ Goal 2: ✅ It was hard not to eat out, but I didn’t. I made what I would have gotten at home, and could track it accurately/make it with healthier ingredients. This should get easier in 1-2 days. Powering on...
I’m more concerned with getting my nutrition back where it was (Goals 1 & 2) than the scale right now since I know that re-ifocusing in them will lead to weight loss in the future (as opposed to weight gain, if I don’t get back to them.)
Slept 💤 7:15 hours❣

11/30 155.6 yay back to 155’s very little appetite yesterday. No sugar/eating out makes my cravings go away, again! Hallelujah!🙏🏻 Goal 1 ✅ Goal 2: ✅
Slept 💤 6:40 hours❣Much craving to eat out, but I know I just need to break the habit, so I did not succumb. Kept busy. Realized I was not hungry.

12/1 - 154.8 Yay! Got back there! It’s all about the deficit❣
Goal 1 ❌ Goal 2: ❌
Ate out with a dessert - tracked all. Had a great time with DH.

12/2 155.2 ❣️ Goal 1 ❌ Goal 2: ❌
Another careful lunch out with DH with dessert. Tracked all. Took a long hard HIIT hike for fun afterwards!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/24 - 62.6 kg (138.0 lbs.). +800g from yesterday. Eat my favorite Italian salami. Did my strength training in the morning. Back on the track!
11/25 - 62.2 kg (137.1 lbs.). “Six-pack in 6 weeks” in the morning. Planning my longer freestyle (running + walking) in the afternoon, aiming, at least, for 13km (8 miles).
11/26 - 61.8 kg (136.2 lbs.). Completed yesterday my 8 miles Freestyle and strength training today in the morning.
11/27 - 62.0 kg (136.7 lbs.). Somebody should eat less! “Six-pack in 6 weeks” in the morning.
11/28 – Didn’t weigh today. Frustration from trying to find what to wear for the company’s annual dinner on Friday was TOO BIG. I never thought that the feeling when the clothes are just hanging on you can be comparable with too tight fit. In everyday life I wear normally pullovers and jeans so the difference is not so obvious. Yesterday I tried the skirts and pants and jackets and all these looked so miserable… I think I should reconsider my strategy, meaning stabilize my weight in the range from 60 to 62 kg and concentrate on muscle building. I don’t think I have fat to lose anymore. I also have to find the way to increase my calories somehow, although 1200 is enough for me. I mean “good” and not empty calories.
11/29 - 61.5 kg (135.6 lbs.). Ordered yesterday 3 dresses with express delivery for today. Hope at least one will fit. Had a wonderful 7km run today in the morning.
11/30 - 61.3 kg (135.1 lbs.).
12/01 - 61.7 kg (136.0 lbs.). Only +400g after all eating and drinking yesterday!
12/02
12/03 - 64.9 kg (143.0 lbs.). I am a champion! +3.2 kg (+7 lbs.)
RESULT OF ROUND 60: plus 2.3 kg (+5.0 lbs.)

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 - 241.0..doesn't make sense, but I'll take it!!
See you all in the next round 😀

Day/Weight/Comment
11/24 - 146.5 - Well, the past week finally caught up with me. We'll finish up our leftovers today and I'll spend the next 10 days trying to undo the damage. I'm very relieved that I'm comfortable with my weight right now though. I'm also glad I have this challenge to keep me accountable and stop the gain before it gets out of control.
11/25 - 147.5 - Ouch, talk about a delayed reaction! I'm going to have to be pretty careful the next few weeks to make sure I'm back down before Christmas!
11/26 - 146.5 - Back to work, back to logging food, back to eating better, and back to drinking water!
11/27 - 144.5 - I was really surprised to see this number this morning. I didn't even drink much extra water yesterday. I'll take it!
11/28 - 145 - I changed my profile yesterday to a loss of .5 per week, instead of 1 lb. a week. I now have an extra 140 calories to eat a day. I'll see if these extra calories create a weight gain issue for me.
11/29 - 144.5 - I drank all my water yesterday and ate my extra calories in some cashew trail mix. I was surprised how full I felt all day.
11/30 - 143.5 - Nice surprise this morning! Before I left for work this a.m., my husband set out the canned ingredients for a sausage corn chowder that I used to make a lot in previous winters. He was so excited when he asked if I could start making this again. I'm glad I've got a few extra calories to compensate.
12/01 - 143 - Another surprise! I'll bet the sodium shows up tomorrow. I ate at maintenance calories today and enjoyed some winter weather food.
12/02 - 143.5 - Not too bad. We're having a rare 60 degree winter day here so I raked some leaves and burned some extra calories.
12/03 - 144 - I'm very happy to be maintaining here, especially after the indulgences this weekend.

It's really warm here today - almost 50 - so I'm planning to get out for a walk and get my outdoor Christmas decorations up before it turns cold again. I hope you're all having a lovely weekend!

11/25 - 131.2 - 1343 - 10-day ave 1227
I know this little bump up is residue from excess calories on TG, so I'm watching but not panicking. MFP says my maintenance calories without exercise are 1380, and SailRabbit calculates it as 1318. Since I've lost so much, I'm guessing it's at the lower end, so trying to aim for 1250-1350. We shall see.

11/26 - 130.6 - 1209 - 10-day ave 1251
That's better.

11/27 - 130.2 - 1313 - 10-day ave 1269
This is my fifth week of adding foods back into my diet after 6 weeks of eliminating them. This week I've added dairy (after eggs, tomatoes, peppers, & gluten the past 4 weeks). So far, I've had no reactions at all, so apparently my inflammation levels aren't related to those foods. Three weeks to go, adding soy, corn, and peanuts. I'm not sorry I did this, but I'll be glad when it's over.

11/28 - 130.6 - 1529 - 10-day ave 1328
Colder weather is making me hungry! I see a big pot of soup or chili in my future.

11/29 - 130.8 - 1491 - 10-day ave 1373
OK, time to get back to sticking with my calorie goal. Jeesh. I'm not eating junk, just too much good stuff.

11/30 - 132.2 - 1736 - 10-day ave 1436
Eeek! But it's mostly water. I had a bunch of salty snacks last night at a gathering. I plan to drink lots of water today, and watch what I eat the next few days.

12/01 - 131.4 - 1193 - 10-day ave 1434
OK, headed back down as I unload the salt & water. Happy Saturday, all!

12/02 - 131.6 - 1301 - 10-day ave 1425
I guess if I can stay within 2 lbs of my 130 goal through Dec., that will be enough.

12/03 - 132.2 - 1652 - 1384
I expected to be up a little - we had a brunch at church yesterday and I mindfully ate several of the sweet things (and some protein). My calorie count is an educated guess, and I thoroughly enjoyed the goodies. No more events for me until the 12th, so I'm back to veggies and lean proteins and good, fiber-y carbs for the next week+! The good news is that the last time I had a higher-calorie round, I lost quickly on the next one when I cut back again. So - onward!

Food Goals:

Stay under my calorie goal of 1,400.

Exercise Goals:
Walk at least an hour 3 days a week, 4 days if nothing better is available.
Weight training 1 day a week
Walk 45 miles in November (Nov 30th - 50.7 miles!!!!!!!!!!!!)

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 - 187.2 Well this sucks. I walked 3 miles yesterday and stayed within goals even sodium goals. How am I up today??? My only thought was I didn't eat at my regular time, and didn't really eat lunch but had a big dinner. I only lost 2.5 pounds in 30 days. This glacial pace is difficult to accept but it is what it is, I guess I'm down slightly for the round and have to be happy with that. Here's to round #61!

Day/Weight/Comment

11/24 - 177.4 - Ate nothing unusual, only 22 calories over, drank plenty of water. Just a normal fluctuation.
11/25 - 178.4 - Over calories by 300 from eating keto seed porridge. Still no unusual foods, except for a pumpernickel dinner roll. Plenty of water and enough sleep.
11/26 - 178 - I need salt and potassium. Last night during my fasting hours, I ate 250 calories worth of salty, spicy peanuts ? Could have saved calories just drinking my electrolytes. I don't know why I have been having an aversion to drinking electrolytes.
11/27 - 178.8 - High carbs yesterday, late dinner, no electrolytes ?
11/28 - 174.8 - Skeptical, weighed 3 times though. I'm pretty sure its because of the electrolytes I finally drank.
11/29 - 177.4 - I knew my weight had to settle but not to this 177 again ? Lol My body's water balance is so finicky.
11/30 - 178.2 - Pretzels. Problem solving eating. Didn't need salt. I was good and drank my electrolytes. Guess it all boils down to stress though. BUT, this IS becoming laughable. My knee compression sleeve came yesterday. Yaay! So I did about 20 semi sumo squats to test it out. My knee said no way, but I say 20 is my limit.
12/1 - 178.8 - Even though I threatened myself, lol, pretzels, ate them. Up all night, working on and problem solving a project. Why do the two hour projects turn into 30 hour projects? 2.5 hours sleep, still need to finish it for a birthday party today. Tomorrow, I may be going to see my littles, so the carbs will not be any better.
12/2 - 177.6 - I'm going to officially name my time in this decade, the Twilight Zone. Lol

12/3 - 180.6 ! - Carbs all weekend. Stomach has been on a full boil because of them. I didn't think I would reach this number especially after an experiment with a carb interceptor. My son told me these pills he's been using are really good. So mom trusted instead of being skeptical and said okay, let me try them. He and his wife do not cook on Sunday. I was there all day and knew it was going to be rough going unprepared. I was tired, but wanted to see my littles. I went to the grocery store while I was there, bought salad, salad dressing, soup, cheese and oat sesame sticks (my carb snack) Alright doing great! Stayed A LOT later than usual, so needed a protein meal.😕 My youngest son comes to take me home, but everyone is hungry. Usually, when I'm there at dinner time, I just get a fast food burger, bunless and maybe a small fries. Thats what I did, but with the bun. This is the carb pill part. My son says take them 20 minutes before a carby cheat meal. I took them, ate the burger and this is the aftermath. 😆 Serves me right. I'll tell him they don't work. He'll laugh and say sorry mom, well they SEEM to work for me. Lol. I'll deal with it. Catch up on rest and no carbs but leafy greens this week. After 10 days of ups and downs, I end on a gain. +3.4lbs of fluid retention SMH. I don't mind. A day with my littles is always worth the gain.😊

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.

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!

12/03 ~ 235.2 - so that's what 4 hours sleep and 2.5 oz of cheese balls at 1:00am looks like. I so wasn't strong enough to say NOOOOOOOOO to family and because of it I'm a hot headachy mess right now. OMG this was such a lesson learned. But a walk in the sun this afternoon should perk me back up, lol

Anywho, regardless of the numbers, I'm still ending my first round on a positive note! I'm so proud of myself for getting on the scale this morning anyway. The old me would have been too ashamed to look. I got my gloves on for round 2
