Trend wt: 155.3
Big caloric deficit 4 of last 5 days! Very pleased. I am successfully curbing my calories in little bits here & there, but they add up! Sleeping more.
I got my motivation back❣
1) I realized I exercise a ton. Three times what is “needed to be healthy.”
2) I can feel I’m adding muscle, so scale will stay steady but then drop. AND my goal is Health. Muscles = Health❣
3) I looked over all my monthly average data & saw I need to trim back calories eaten some. Did it!
12/4 155 BMI: 23.2! 👍🎉🌈🌟❣

@snowflake1968 Toss the bun and eat just a FEW of his fries. It adds up and calories go down!
@jerier Thank you! I love the way you lost 210 pounds!
@eatingfoodles Do you track what you eat? I find it takes 2-3 days for my scale to reflect what I’ve eaten.
@wellnfree Course or Cruise?
@Deviette Hugs for pausing the Fitbit. I got a new HRM at the end of October and there is a learning curve! I forget to tell it to start or forget to tell it to save. I’ve messed up more than a couple of times. I’m just old school and not used to using an APP!
@Birder165 OTOH, you are still lower than 2 days ago - for a win!
@kmfeig87 I think you’re right, very high sodium! Flush, flush, flush!

22nd 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 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2Round 61 – 160.8 Again, goal this round: under 160
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, +.4
Round 60 – SW 161.6, -.8
I’m going to apply to go on a short course in April. That is 10-12 weeks away. So my more immediate goal is to lose 1 lb/round. The course is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time – I don’t have to lose weight for it but it would be sweet if I did.
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/04 – 160.8
12/05 – 161.2 – Finished my part-time work on Tues. and instead of jumping into all the other stuff I now have time for, I have spent two days mostly wasting time. I did get to the gym this morning though and think I’ve got my head together for tomorrow so I don’t fritter it away as well.
12/06 – 161.2 – Despite going to the gym, calories were a couple of deserts over yesterday and about the same the previous two days so will take this weight and be thankful.10 -

Yep! I'm at a pretty aggressive deficit too. I've really been pushing for that 2lbs/week. I did have a couple days of pitiful water intake, so I've wondered if that along with my slight sickness has contributed to extra water retention. Who knows.4 -
Male, 39
6'0"
Goal: Get BF% to 10-12%, then bulk.
Round 57: +2.6 (15.1%)
Round 58: -1.8 (15.1%)
Round 59: -1.8 (14.1%)
Round 60: -7.0 (12.1%)
Round 61 Starting Weight: 178.6
Goals for this round are to continue recovering from my illness the last round and see where my weight stabilizes, then determine whether to cut a bit more or start my bulk. Also plan on getting back in the gym consistently now that I am starting to get my strength back.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/04 - 181.2 - Was able to eat normal foods again and felt pretty good. Wasn't able to get a workout in, but I do plan on getting back to the gym today and getting on a normal eating schedule again.
12/05 - 182.4 - Had a lot of food yesterday. Starting to feel stronger. We will see where the weight tapers off.
12/06 - 184.0 - Feeling closer to 100%, so I plan on getting back on point with my calories and macros today, as well as getting back in to my workout routine. Looking forward to it!

@quiltingjaine - Oh, for me always a course. I suppose if I added up the cost of all the classes I've taken, I could afford a cruise or two but it's just not my thing, although I do like to travel.

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.
12/3 130.0 Round 60 end weight
12/4 132.0 Totally expected. CARB LOAD! Satisfied my craving for veggies tempura yesterday! It’s been about 6 months since we last went there.
12/5 133.0 I hardly had any water yesterday and then set my bottle down when we were at Ethel M’s and forgot to pick it up! Carl got up early this morning to take friends to the airport and in an effort to be quiet, dropped something causing me to bolt upright in bed at 3:43AM. I tried to go back to sleep but that didn’t work. It could be the carbs from Monday but I think this higher weight is the result of getting up so early. So I’m having my coffee, and WILL weigh again later. Maybe I’ll try to nap later. I am not a napper. Gym this afternoon with Amy.
12/6 131.5 Good day yesterday. Gym @2 today with Amy. Grand-girls have basketball today @ 4:30- one player, one cheerleader. Then I think Jimmy John’s Unwich for dinner and music at Fiesta @6! Busy day!13 -

Thank you so much, TISH!! It’s such a mental game...this weight loss/health journey. Your support means the world to me❣️
0.1 lb at a time & we Really Do Get There!!! Ha-Ha!
Looking at the data over months helps me a lot. I have done this since May 221 to help me handle the day-to-day fluctuations.
For example: I weighed 10 lbs more 4 months ago; 20 lbs more 7.5 months ago; 30 lbs more 10 months ago; 40lbs more 12.5 months ago... suddenly the small little weight losses and ups & downs, as we near our UGW, are manageable!!❣️❣️❣️
Thanks again! How are things for you?!

12/4 - 178.8 - Starting to come back down. I never have a Round goal weight, only a 10 lb goal to reach. This time I set one. 175 lbs, to keep me accountable and away from the carbs until I reach it. BECAUSE, there are 2 carb days I am looking forward to, gingerbread and belgian waffles 😃 both courtesy of my son's baking. I've been waiting on this gingerbread for 4 years😂
12/5 - 176.8 - 😏 Okay. I will take it, thank you very much.
12/6 - 176.2 - 😊 Keeping my carbs low. Cruciferous vegetables and leafy greens only.

@ssssanaaaa Hang in there! Keep going forward and know that this will pass and you'll come out the other side of it. This will be a difficult month for many of us and we've just got to keep on and do the best we can. If it takes a bit longer than we hope, well that's still success. {HUGS} You've done really well so far!

@bisonpitcher I think we're all relieved to hear that you're feeling better!7

Coming back after an extended break. I'll hop in this round, but I'm mainly just realistically hoping to maintain - a birthday for my middle son, a certain monthly event :P , and a holiday party are all during this round, which makes the downward trek tough. But I'm in a good enough headspace at the moment where simply maintaining won't make me get down on my progress (or lack of).

@dowhatrightis after putting it in the oven did you flip it half way through the cooking time, before taking it out and putting on the toppings? I made the mistake of not doing that once and it was mushy and fell apart i
My hand.
What I do also is 3/4 cauliflower and 1/4 broccoli. For some reason it tastes better with a mix of broccolli or if you are more of a broccoli fan then cauliflower you can put a bit more.4 -
GOALS
Keto on!
Explore a couple of vegan keto recipes
Complete Stage 1 of Shed & Shred 4+ days/ week
Take my hormone/ bc pills like it's my religion lol
During Round 1, went from 245-240ish. I use an analogue scale, so exact numbers aren't available. I have suffered with eating disorders so pulling my hair out over less than 2 lbs difference isn't healthy for me. As such, as with last round, I'm only posting my weight on days 1, 5, and 10.

Day/Comment
12/04
Weight is 241 today. BUT... I took some pants out of the closet. We're talking pants I've never worn because they've never fit. But I could button them and zip them and didn't have to INHALE AND SUCK IN. They weren't comfy yet, but I anticipate by the end of this round, I'll be wearing them. These are pants I bought last time I was doing lots of cardio because they were just a hair too small then, I loved them, and they were the last pair the store had. I anticipated getting into them, but never did. I will, though!

I bought a new Jillian Michaels video on amazon today (Banish Fat, something something, it's the top result on Amazon if you punch in her name), because I just could not even touch Shed & Shred this morning. I thought, maybe it's because my legs don't wanna do these EXACT moves again so soon. And I was right to a degree, but I stopped after 20 minutes. I needed some recovery today. But I think I'm getting a little addicted to getting my heart rate up, hah. I just FEEL better when I do some hard cardio and didn't wanna skip getting SOME, at least. So, I watched through the rest of the video and totally worth the very cheap $7. I can do all of those moves from my room... unlike Shed & Shred, the second half of which would require me to do moves that I just don't have the space to do.
After that, pretty much cooked all evening. I made cauliflower pizza and quiche and ribs, for the next several days. Cauliflower crust was too many carbs and not a good enough texture for so much EFFORT, dang. It didn't even hold up as a pizza crust, just sorta mushy, and I drained the crap out of it. Maybe I'll just buy cauliflower crust from Trader Joes. Those actually work fine. But note to self: Don't basically go and process a vegetable to remove all its water and then expect the carb counts to be good/ for it to be filling. Just because you did it at home doesn't mean it isn't processed. I would have been much more satisfied with butter fried cauliflower, a soft boiled egg, all with a cream sauce and the same toppings as the pizza. And wouldn't have effectively turned a whole head of cauliflower into one cup of unfilling substance.
I also had to go and make myself a cream tea and eat a couple of fat bombs after pizza. Was NOT enough fat on there even drowned in cheese. Fat bombs filled me up, though. At 1400 calories as of writing this. I've had a 1700 calorie goal this whole time and haven't hit it the past couple days. Don't know if this is good or worrying to be having 200-300 calories less than goal.
Have a good evening everyone!
Under the Spoiler is Days Before Today

I weighed myself this morning after a lot of night time bathroom trips again. More water weight coming off. I'm not posting a new weight until day 5, though. Been a bit of an emotional day. I probably won't go on a prolonged blah blah about my food, because it's 4PM and I haven't even eaten yet. I did get 25 minutes of the Banish Fat workout, though. A few minutes more than last time. That seems to be what happens every time I go into a new workout. I do a little more every time until my body is used to the full set. This one might take more than a few rounds, though. This video is divided into circuits and I did three circuits today. Tomorrow I'll either see if I can do four, or see if my body will agree to Shed & Shred again. Banish Fat isn't as hard on my lower body, in terms of muscle strain, but DAMN, that cardio is intense.
What I do wanna write about is how weird it is to see a muscle in my neck. I don't know how to deal with this. There's something and I know people can go through it with weight changes, and it's really weird to me. Even though I'd rather be thinner and feel as good as I'm starting to feel, it still seems a little like, when I look in the mirror, there is an alien in it, doing a REALLY good impression of me. But isn't getting it quite right. The alien is a little too lean. Things have changed. I have identity issues from childhood trauma, so this is pretty big for me. But I'm not going to let it stop me this time. I do think it affected me last time, and the reason it was detrimental, wasn't that it happened, but because I never spoke of it.
Guys, I'm really happy I'm losing weight, and I feel good, but the mirror is really strange right now. Does anyone else feel like this? Can we be friends?

Starting Weight 175-178
Current Weight 155.0 end of round 60
Goal Weight 140
Hopefully I can be really good in this round and be in the low 150's consistently. My DH will be gone this whole week on a business trip so it's just the kids and I. I haven't figured out if that is going to be good for me or really bad for me yet. I ended the last round kind of high so hoping to start this one lower right away. Ending on a Monday is probably never going to work in my favor. The weekends are my enemy!
12/04 - 153.4 This is what I was wanting to end the last round with, but that Taco Bell from Saturday night killed me for 2 days. Oh well, ate below calories again yesterday because I knew I was going to lunch today. My sister has been deployed for the last year and is coming home. We are all meeting her at the airport and taking her to lunch. Going to try and eat sensible, but no matter what I do I always gain when I eat out. At least I saw this today and I'm just going to enjoy myself. Hopefully won't hurt me to bad tomorrow. If I can finish this round at 152 or 151 I will be happy.
12/05 - 153.2 Loss of .2, I will take it. Went to lunch yesterday and still had a little loss. Little mile stones are what I need now. Chose healthy foods and didn't have an alcoholic drink. I also had a light dinner once I got home and it all worked out. Have my day planned again today, so maybe I will see 152.xx tomorrow.
12/06 - 152.4 Back down to last Saturdays weight. I have been all over the place this time around. I think my husband being gone this week has been a little more stressful than I thought it would be. Did well on calories yesterday and so far today. Hopefully by tomorrow or Saturday I will see a lower number.
