11/24 151.2 I made it through a healthy Thanksgiving vacation without damage.
11/25 150.4 I’m so very tired of being in the 150's!
11/26 149.6 Out of 150’s!!!!! Only .4 more to go for this round’s goal.
11/27 149.8 I’m now in a size 10 and dropped off all my size 12’s at Goodwill.
11/28 149.8 no gain, no loss
11/29 149.8
11/30 149.8 eventually this will go down
12/1 149.8 5 days of exact same weight. I have .6 more pounds for R60 goal.
12/2 149.4 doesn’t look like I’m going to make my goal
12/3 149.8 well, I didn’t reach the goal I set. I’ll change next round’s goal to 1.5 pounds loss

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

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.

11/25 - 179.8
11/26 - 177.6 - Didn't get a chance to log in over the weekend, but I did weigh and make a note in my phone. It wasn't the healthiest weekend, but I've certainly had worse as well.
11/27 - 180.2
11/28 - 176.6 - I'm not so sure I believe this, but it was what the scale said this morning.
11/29 - 180.0 - It also said 171.7 - Maybe I need new batteries.
11/30 - 179.8
12/01 - 180.4 - poor choices 2 days in a row. Just laziness on my part.
12/02 - 180.2 - better day yesterday and will be today too
12/03 - 180.0 - Better day yesterday, but still too many carbs

21st Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Here we are again. Looked over all my rounds and realized that I’ve only lost around 3 lb. total. 😖 I’d lost about 4 lb. on MFP before joining this challenge. I feel like I’ve lost around 10 – which I have. I also gained 7. Have to be less complacent about it. New maxim: each round counts.
Round 60 – SW 161.6, Goal this round 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
11/24 – 161.6
11/25 – 159.8 – Yesterday a fast and pray day so I’m not expecting it to stick – but it might give me a kick in the right direction.
11/26, Monday – 160.6
11/27, Tuesday – 160.6
11/28, Wednesday – 160.4 – Yesterday was second last ESL class and despite having a new student show up who knew no English, that I didn’t know was coming, it went very well (Thank you Lord). Only one more to go and a couple of Christmas concerts for our ladies’ acapella group and I’m through the stressful part of December. Skipped gym on Monday because I had too much prep to do but going today. Then it’s planning & tidying so my crazy week doesn’t derail me.

11/29, Thursday – 160.6 – Good gym day yesterday though kind of late getting there. A late start today – have to fight my way back to an earlier rising time. I’m a natural night hawk but if I let that get out of control everything just goes downhill.
11/30, Friday – 161.2 – Good day yesterday till late evening and then snacking on almonds. Should have just gone to bed. Hoping to make it to the gym this am to use those calories.
12/01, Saturday – 160.6 – Did not make it to the gym yesterday, in fact I was surprised when I read what I’d written. I woke up with a very stiff muscle on one side of my neck (going up behind my ear). I thought it would just go away once I got up and moving around (likely when I wrote the post) but in fact I started feeling worse – stomach off, draggy. So took it easy, took antiviral and prayed. Made it through the stuff I really needed to get done and ate maintenance cal. Today the neck is still stiff and generally feeling off but not as bad as yesterday. I’m assuming it is a flu bug. Have a 2-3+ hr. all group practice for our concert next week – hope we are all on top of it so that it goes quickly. We come from different communities and learn the songs in our own towns (only one director though) and then put it all together at one last practice
12/02, Sunday – 160.8 – Well, we were not all on top of it for practice, but it went fairly well anyway. I’ve always disliked team sports so never played on any teams in school but this choir has taught me so much about teamwork. Just one person who doesn’t know their stuff and it drags the whole practice out – fortunately for me, not my section. Still have some stiffness in the neck but overall feeling better.
12/03, Monday – 160.8 – Seems to be stuck here but can’t complain as yesterday was above cals. I’m always careful to put my scale on exactly the same spot on the floor but this morning it was a little over to the side and showed 162.2. Quick moved it and reweighed and was thankful for the usual. No gym today as have to go to the dentist and then finish last lesson for tomorrow!

Day/Weight/Comment:

11/24- 179.4 Binge. I just couldn’t get full regardless of what I ate. I absolutely hate typing in green on this forum. I only like it when it pertains to the gains in the stock market or in finances. I have been doing the dinners and celebrations with friends. Tomorrow is the family Thanksgiving dinner. Monday is when I will dread the scale the most. I don’t lose control everyday or all the time. A vast majority of the time I’m on top of it and only struggle when traveling. So I will not let holidays or these moments define me. I will be back on track with each and every one of you on Monday. In the meantime, I will continue to log, to weigh-in and to post. I know what @abowersgirl would do.....She would increase her exercise and movement for damage control. I will try this but with no livingroom right now due to the renovations, and guests coming back & forth into the office (which is the first room of my house), privacy and uninterrupted time is scarce during the hunting and holiday week here. But I will pace back & forth if I can't do anything else. My healthy mind continues, my healthy body awaits.
11/25 - 179.6 Thanksgiving dinner today. The saga continues.
11/26 - 180.4 I obviously enjoyed my Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. Kept my actual dinner very reasonable in quantity of food, though a bit carby. Caved on the pecan pie. Otherwise, desserts at a minimum. Overall, much less that I used to eat for these feasts. I’m a bit impressed with my first Thanksgiving in my new plan and lifestyle. My week was much worse than my actual feast day. I felt like the Pillsbury doughboy going into it which may have helped me reign it in. I can’t wait to get back at it today. Today is “A new dawn, a new day, a new life for me and I’m feeling good.”
11/27 - 180.4 No change. I know I need more water. Very little water shedding. Only got up once during the night which is amazing but doesn’t help the morning weigh-in. I’m going to work on this today. My victory yesterday is that I went to Subway to buy my son and friend a big fat sub on a big carby bun. I bought nothing for myself and made a keto friendly zucchini boat for my own dinner.
11/28 - 178.6 Yay. Typing in red again. Shed a lot of water last night, so extra water helped tremendously. Tomorrow is the pool hall/pot luck dinner. I am very nervous and have not been there in 3 weeks because of something that happened last time. A juicy tidbit that I will share later tonight when I get a chance to type it out. Anyone’s thoughts on the subject are always appreciated.
11/29 - 176.4 More whooshing from the water bloat. Pool/Potluck tonight. I tried to make good food choices without sacrificing the fun and the concept of trying other recipes. Hopefully the scale will not be too unkind to me tomorrow.
11/30 - 178.1 Scale is up from the potluck. I’m sure it’s mostly water. I will work on the bloat today and will eat within plan. I’ve been doing this long enough now to know that it’s okay. I’ve got this.
12/01 - 178.0 Okay, so now it’s being stubborn but it underestimates my dedication! I stayed on plan yesterday with nearly perfect macros. I had about an 800 calorie deficit and ate just 13 Net Carbs. No exercise and clearly not enough movement in general. A moderate amount of fluids but not enough plain old-fashioned water. Today I will make a conscious effort to increase my water and my steps which have been lacking the past few days. Gloomy here today in northern Michigan. So the sunshine will have to come from within me. Enjoy your Saturday everyone!
12/02 - 178.0 No Change. Worked very hard yesterday moving all the furniture in the house. We ripped up all the old carpets and tackstrips and scraped old glued down padding off the floors with shovels. All the beds have been taken down, I slept on my box spring and mattress on the floor. I will do so until the carpet on Thursday. Everything is a mess. No structure and I have been feeling a little out of control on everything. Another social event today on top of it all. My DGS is turning 1. A birthiday party. However, I have a new mindset today and I am feeling pretty good about many things in my life going forward. I will enjoy myself today but do so with all the wisdom and tools I’ve learned from you. It’s going to be okay.
12/03 - 178.4 Enjoyed the birthday party for my Grandson. Was more careful with my portion control during the dinner & cake/icecream festivities. Low on water and exercise because of being away from home. Enjoyed my family and the pleasures of seeing all 4 of my grandchildren playing. I am a proud Nana. I have a lot to be thankful for and a lot of reasons to get healthier. I am ending on just a 0.2 lb Loss, but that in itself is a miracle when I think back on my month. So I am grateful. Nice round everyone!

11/24 183.1 This is 40lbs gained in the last year, after losing 100lbs. I have been depressed, and need to get back to it.
11/25 **
11/26 180.1 I have really cut back on the mindless snacking.
11/27 180.2 Not really worried about that .01. lol
11/28 178.8 I've made a good effort to not eat a bunch of junk late at night. So, I'm really happy with this number!
11/29 178.8 I lifted weights last night, so I expected a gain. Pretty pleased with this number. lol
11/30 178.6
12/01 Did not weigh
12/02 178.6
12/03 180.1 I lifted this weekend, and walked a bunch. I expect this number to be lower tomorrow.
