12/04 145.4 up a .2...why? No clue. Ate within a deficint, exercised good and had a little over 1.2 liters of water. I am assuming it's a slight fluctuation before a woooosh lol or at least I hope 🤞🤞volleyball tonight and I always see a loss the next day, so needless to say I am excited to weigh in tomorrow.
12/05 145.2 and down again. I was fine yesterday morning but by around dinner time the hunger monster awoke. I couldn't seem to get full, regardless of how hard I tried. I played volleyball and exercised pretty good yesterday but because of my eating, I ended on a maintenance. I also had a good amount of energy last night after I got home, so decided to exercise a bit more while doing laundry and didn't end up going to bed until after 2. Needless to say I need to get a bit more sleep then that.
12/06 145.2 my body is comfortable here. I guess I shouldn't complain, had a chocolate craving around 8 so that overkilled my calories by a bit. Exercised good and 2 liters of water.
12/07 144.0 last night I started feeling really sick. I think I caught the flu so I went to bed early and am still feeling sick now..have No clue what happened, was fine all day then BAM, nausea. So, as much as this number excited me, I also know it's because I only ate 600 cal. Yesterday and couldn't even count the amount of hours I have been sleeping. Once I feel better and start eating normally again, I will, get a more accurate number
12/08142 still sickness weight with little to no eating and maybe a bit of dehydration, even though water was the only thing j made sure I was indulgent in. I am feeling much better today and hungry...so I expect this weight will increase by tomorrow 😥😥 I wish it hadn't been because of an illness
12/09 142.8 i am not looking at this as a usual gain, I am looking at it as a "I am back to eating normal and I am feeling better, so I obviously would gain after two days of eating nothing" I am still not taking this as my for sure weight, I think I will wait until it balances out again. I got back to exercising yesterday, especially because I felt like a million bucks, which was great! Drank 1.2 liters of water and stayed under calories..hope everyone is having a great weekend!
12/10 142.8 so I guess my body likes it here and has decided to stay. I am assuming being sick had made my body feel as if it was doing a fast because I am surprised I didn't gain more weight back now that I have been eating normally again. I'm not complaining though lol. Finally moved back into my apartment and was able to sleep in my own bed ever since the flood months ago, so moving boxes and cleaning kept me active. My TOM is expected on Wednesday so I am assuming I will have a weight fluctuation before the end of the round 😥😥 always at the worst time I tell ya! Drank 1 liter of water and ate under Calories. I Hope everyone has a great Monday!!
12/11 no weigh in, sort of had to take the car in for an oil change so I had to be up a lot earlier than usual..didn't get to weigh in until after I ate and I was a whopping 144. TOM is due tomorrow so we will just have to see In the morning what my scales has to say for sure. Today I received an early birthday present...a fit bit!! I am so happy and excited!! My mom decided I should be rewarded, i guess, for all the hard work I have been doing and she knows how anal I am about being exact when it comes to my steps and calorie burns. I don't think I have ever received such a nice, thoughtful gift and to keep the momentum going, my team won all 6 of our volleyball games tonight!! Today was really a great day!

@dowhatrightis Praying for you and your dad, that you will be forgiving, for your sake, and your dad will be repentent and make his peace with God, if not with his family. Jesus is in the business of changing hearts, so I pray for anyone I think may be headed to hell, including my ex husband. I've found that praying for people I'm not fond of changes my attitude toward them and, sometimes, even heals relationships. I wish you well as you continue to heal from the past.5

Round goals: treadmill running, yoga, body weight workoutsSpoilerTue 12/04 - 71.4kg
This is not great, up 1 kg from yesterday, but I suppose it is the weekend showing - little water, lots of salt and snacks. And last night also turned into a little bit of a binge once again.
Plan for today: food for today weighed and logged, salad and crackers for lunch, fruit snacks. Treadmill after work, healthy dinner with lots of veg and enough to have left over tomorrow. Early night so i get up for yoga in the morning.
Wed 12/05 - 70.8kg
This looks better. Stuck to my plan, went on the treadmill (35mins run and 20mins brisk walk with an incline), had my healthy dinner minus baked potatoes as I burned them, oops. But that meant I had some cals for snacking left over.
And I got up to start today with some yoga despite a terribly hot night, healthy breakfast, lunch will be a guess as I have a meeting. But dinner is ready and waiting for me after the gym.
Thu 12/06 - 70.5kg
Right direction despite not sticking to the plan yesterday. The lunch meeting was very nice steak, the beef here is amazing, no chips. But then I was invited to a pub quiz, which meant I only managed a very short run plus my legs were sooo tired from Tuesday. At the quiz, food was provided and I had to estimate again and also couldn't say no to a couple of beers.
Today, I was too tired to get up for yoga and also won't be going to the gym as I have a lot of work to do and today really want to make it to bed by 10pm.
Fri 12/07 71.4kg
Ugh, I am an idiot. LNS got me, because 'I deserved it' doing work in the evening, being tired and missing home. I am not liking this trend, I was 2kg down from this last week. It wasn't all bad at first, did yoga last night and one American Housewife episode worth of body weight exercises. I discovered that I can use my stairs as a step and still see the TV Didn't log the exercise as I didn't know how to quantify, but I worked up a little sweat. However that surely wasn't enough for the popcorn and pretzles I had after a healthy dinner. So I stopped logging those snacks after the second trip to the kitchen. 😩
I realise that I often eat the same or more cals in fruit and snacks as I do in meals. I need to review and change that. I love my little snacks, they aren't all too unhealthy, but it means I'll never break the habit.
Today, yay, Friday! we only work until 1-2pm in the afternoon - the other days are a bit longer instead - so I will go to the gym for a longer run&walk in the afternoon. I also started this morning with yoga and cucumber water (I can't stop running to the loo). I have packed a slightly bigger portions of breakfast and lunch instead of extra snacks, only fruit for now. Hopefully, that will set me up for the gym later.
Sat 12/08 - 69.8kg I weighed myself several times this morning over the course of 2.5 hours of having a slow morning and a snooze and I got 71.4, 70.8, 70.6 and finally 69.8kg. That is some crazy fluctuation, 1.6kg or 3.5lbs. I mean toilet breaks surely can't account for that much? Anyway, this is nice to see, especially after I did 10.7km on the treadmill yesterday! I was on there for 95mins, walking and running and sweated like never before. It felt really good.
Hunger during the day was ok with my slightly bigger portions. I craved snacks a lot, but only had coffee and an apple. The shorter work day also helped. In the evening I only ate part of the pasta I had cooked and logged and didn't eat all my calories in snacks initially. But then got a bit hungry around 10pm and had some more, but still within calories. I did have a bit of a stressful evening planning another work trip and really wanted some wine, but decided to have parsley&cucumber water instead, so that was a little win. And boy, that water works. My feet looked a bit swollen the last few days and this morning, they are back to normal. Thanks for the tip, tiabirdie56!
Plan for today: started with a quick yoga session, planned healthy, filling meals, including my pasta left overs and have to do some work. My legs are tired from yesterday so no gym, but will do some exercises at home to get my butt off the sofa and away from the laptop. Tonight, people are going clubbing, not sure I'm up for that, dancing would burn calories though. But another eve at home also sounds good.
Sun 12/09 70.8kg
Calories eaten when coming home a little tipsy at night don't count, right? 😝
Didn't go clubbing, but went to some party and had fun. I didn't eat much there, but had a few drinks. But then polished off my popcorn, pretzels and some crisps from the other day. Tried to log it, but who knows. Until then, the day went well, stuck to my plan, did some exercises at home.
Totay, I'm going to a BBQ (or Braai as they call it here) where everything will be guess work. Plus I'm a little hung over and veeery hungry. Gym will have to wait until tomorrow.
Mon 12/10 70.8kg
Ok, so same as yesterday, which is fine. I didn't log yesterday as I knew it wouldn't be accurate anyway. I had a big breakfast, moderate food at the BBQ and a few snacks in the eve. I don't think it was too bad, certainly not at a deficit but also not crazy.
Today, i'm super tired, despite last night being the first cool night, but I will go to the gym tonight and run off my weekend sins I really want to get below 70 by Thu, so i have a salad for lunch and a couple of snacks. Dinner will depend on how many calories I earn on the treadmill.
Tue 12/11 - 70.0kg - now this is better
I was not in the mood for running yesterday, so I decided to just walk on the treadmill. But then I ended up running for some time anyway, even when my podcast went all funny with the sound and I had to switch it off. I really miss walking outside, but I have been discouraged from doing that in the dark here.
Food-wise it was a good day, my larger portions mean I can get by with fewer snacks. Dinner was just couple of slices of bread with avo because there was no power when I got home. That meant I had some space for pretzel snacks and dark chocolate and didn't eat back all my exercise calories.
Today, started with yoga, which was nice and I have healthy day-time food planned. I really fancy pizza for dinner, but i know it'll not help with getting below 70 this round. And if I pick up some after work, i won't even do my bodyweights. Ah decisions decisions...Have a great day everyone.
Wed 12/12 69.6kg there we go, now just gotta keep at it.
I took an unplanned but well needed rest day yesterday and compromised on the pizza craving with half a frozen pizza. During the day I ate well, larger portions of actual food are really making a difference in my snack cravings. I had some chocolate and pretzels in the eve, which made me go above my deficit, but that's ok. Today, I skipped on yoga as I was up late chasing mosquitoes and just too tired. Will be on the treadmill tonight and maybe i'll squeeze in yoga in the eve before my second half of that pizza
@dowhatsrightis not going to say sorry, but well done for letting it all out!
@deepwoodslady I hope your appointment went well

Swapping to maintenance mode for the moment, probably going to stick with it until the new year. With the vast quantity of food that just seems to be around at the moment, I'm finding sticking to the deficit really very difficult. If I'm aiming for maintenance, I'm giving myself a break and I'll also be able to enjoy the treats that come around this time of the year. And not feel guilty for doing so.
NS Goals for this round:
- Run 12km: 10.06/12 so far
- Drink more water
- Remain in deficit at least 9/10 days:

Day/Weight/Comment
12/04: 67.2 - More fluid retention. Everything hurts from training yesterday because I worked really very hard (and threw a couple of people I normally struggle against, so winning!). Cake in the office, but with the number of calories I get extra from judo the cookie and small slice of cake was not a problem. I do love it when things work out well like that. Considering going to a run today, but might leave it for tomorrow and just do some gentle stretches out today as seriously, everything is screaming at me. I really wished I had foam rolled last night. Water was better yesterday, still probably lower than I would've liked, but better than it has been recently.
12/05: 67.5 - Well that's my one day not in deficit sorted for the round. I was hoping to go longer on that but I'll live. I deserve that scale rise. Lazy day yesterday, I think I'm coming down with a cold, however I need to go for a run today (as I didn't get out yesterday) so I'll have to push through and manage. Yesterday would have been fine were it not for all the food that was around, and for some reason, my unhelpful hunger come dinner time causing me to over eat there too. Did well for water during the day, and then didn't drink anything once I got home, not a great situation, but still better than previously. I have a water bottle on my desk at work now so I'm hopeful that'll keep me sipping all day.
12/06: 66.6 - My scale weight really is all over the place at the moment. If I wasn't getting NSV I'd be super bummed. Good day yesterday, and went for a run. Run wasn't great, my feet were really killing me, although my lungs were fine. Pup behaved himself on the run and I actually really enjoyed it. Just wish I could've gone longer without my feet hurting. Also, pretty sure I missed off a small amount at the end as I paused my fitbit by accident. More than somewhat frustrating. Drank much better yesterday, still need to make sure I drink enough in the evening, but was certainly better than the last few days.
12/07: 66.8 - That's more like it, tbh yesterday's massive jump down was never going to stay there, but this is more like what I was expecting to see. Small deficit yesterday, but a deficit is a deficit. Eating was okay but not helped by the fact we ended up in the pub for dinner (steak night, yaaaas). And spent some time putting our christmas tree up, feeling in the holiday mood now! Water intake was better, but I still wasn't drinking enough in the evening. Looking forward to going for a run this evening, and hopefully the weather will clear up.
12/08: 67.2 - Went for a run yesterday which was a good thing because calories ended up over accidentally. Didn't claw it back level, but made it much less of an impact.
12/09: 66.9 - Did a very sensible thing today, and reasonably proud of myself for it. Yesterday evening was my best friend's Christmas do. They always lay on vast quantities of nibbles and stuff, so I just didn't eat dinner. I had a reasonable size lunch, and munched on a roll before getting there, but I gave myself leave to eat plenty of nibbles and not feel guilty about it. And actually, I didn't eat stupid quantities of the stuff anyway (I made sure to position myself away from the table). I probably went over calories, but not nearly as bad as if I had actually eaten dinner before going.
12/10: Did Not Weigh - Oh dear. So about once every 6 months or so I have the strange desire to eat and eat and eat until I feel so full that I want to throw up. Then I eat some more. Yesterday was that day. I don't even want to know how many calories I consumed, although I know the answer is going to be far far too many. I'll try and run up an estimate today, just for the record, but I really do feel awful because of it. The fluid retention is real. My skin feels all puffy and I am so bloated. I have an awful headache and legit feel like I am hungover (and considering I've not drunk any alcohol for over a week, it's definitely the food). I might leave it another day before I assess the damage, but I'm sure that was not good for the scales.
12/11: Did not Weigh - Still avoiding the scales. However, yesterday should have done a good job at redressing some of the damage. Thanks mostly to the fact I wasn't that hungry and judo in the evening. Which I really wasn't up for. I was so tired last night (actually I still am), but I went anyway I still worked out, so it got me moving and burning those sweet sweet calories.
12/12: Did not Weigh - Actually I just forgot this morning, calories yesterday were okay, although a little over. Probably mostly due to the fact I decided to eat more food than I really needed to. Yep, I can really see how I gained all this weigh in the first place. However, it was about right for my weekly average, so I think I can take that fine. Don't really have much else to say today ...

Day/Weight/Comment
12/04 - 242.0...didn't eat much of anything all day and then TOM arrived and my stomach became a bottomless pit!
12/05 - 240.0...ate way under calories yesterday (just wasn't hungry, probably still full from the day before!) Did water aerobics and some walking.
12/06 - 241.4...under calories yesterday and did water aerobics, but had a slice of toast at around 9pm and I don't usually eat that late.
12/07 - 237.6...under calories but no exercise. I went to water aerobics but turned around and left again, just wasn't feeling well enough to do it.
12/08 - 237.6...over calories yesterday by a couple hundred..even with exercise ones used. We had our first real snow of the season, there was about 3ft piled up in my driveway. SO did most of it and I did the last 1/2 hr. Was finally able to drink some water yesterday, had 75oz..almost back to my regular.
12/09 - 238.0... Was a hectic day yesterday. Son woke up at 3am throwing up. Threw up again later in the day, started to get a fever and diarrhea, so ended up taking him to the hospital (I worry easily because of his medical conditions and because he was still fighting off his last cold). He still has a bit of a head cold and now the stomach virus but all else was good!! I didn't eat or drink anything until we got back from the hospital and then I over ate because I was starving and drank 2 cans of Pepsi (I had pretty much given up pop for over a month).
12/10 - 238.0... I had a very lazy, stay in, eat whatever I wanted day. It was nice. Back to plan tomorrow. Son seems to be feeling a lot better.
12/11 - 238.0...just barely within calories. Need to drink a lot more water

12/5 149.6 A .2 pound weight loss per day would be nice rate.
12/6 150.4 I was hoping never ever ever to see 150 on the scale again. Sodium is my enemy!

12/10 149.6 not losing or gaining, just hanging out at the same weight. Forgot to log my calories yesterday.
12/11 149 that’s good, I was wondering if I was going to lose anything this round. Hopefully it stays off. I’m not going to hit my goal for this round but at least I might lose something. Something better than nothing.
12/12 148.8 almost at my round goal weight but I don’t think I can lose .4 pounds in a day, we’ll see.

04/12 Missed a fair few posts from last round with travelling but have gone back and updated my weights at least. Goals for today are to get my steps in, do some yoga and hit my protein target.
05/12 Missed steps by about 200 but above average for the week so far, I had an early night so didn't have the meal I had planned so protein was well under but I think the rest of the week should make up for it, I have a lot lean meat and fish planned in. Goals for today are to take my vitamins and box the rest of the week's up and to stay in a bit of a deficit again.
06/12 Out for a work lunch yesterday, MFP vs Garmin has me at around a 200 calorie deficit yesterday so I will take that. Goals for today are for Protein Intake, Steps & Calorie Deficit. Must also try to get some yoga in this week.
10/12 Didn't have a great week for my non-scale goals, party season is here and trying to keep on top of my routine last week was tough, still got some exercise in and hit my step goal for the week but not much strength training or yoga. Calories were however spot on and weight is coming down this round
11/12 Good day yesterday - Strength Training and some Yoga done before work. Had an early morning row this morning and calories were on track yesterday, protein a little low but hope to improve on that today.
12/12 Another productive day yesterday with the rowing and some bodyweight exercises at work. Calories were good and protein was better (only been getting around 70-90g per day in lately instead of my usual 100g+)12 -

12/07 194.6 Not surprised. Spontaneous trip to Chili’s. Cheese curds & 1/4 of a Boss Burger. Actually surprised it’s not more. Tonight is our office Christmas party. I will not pass up my annual filet mignon!!!
12/08 193.6 Well what do ya know? A loss!!!! Enjoyed my filet at the Christmas party. Skipped the appetizers, had about 1/3 of my filet, small scoop mashed potatoes & small scoop sweet potatoes. Vegetables were asparagus & brussel sprouts so had to skip those. Also didn’t even taste the chocolate sin dessert!! Now there’s some willpower!! I’m a ‘you had me at chocolate’ kind of girl. BUT I saw a group pic of the party & it almost made me cry - I do not like the way I look at all. I do want to look better, feel better, have my clothes fit, have more energy. I know this & I know how what needs to be done so why oh why can’t I just do it?? UGH!

With the help of these challenges, I’ve made it to a very comfortable weight for me. I’ve lost some weight many times in the past, but my biggest challenges have been to maintain it. My goal this round and going forward will be to maintain my weight in the low to mid 140’s.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/04 - 144 - I'm happy and a little surprised I didn't have a delayed bump from the weekend. Even though I only had a couple hundred extra calories each day, I've gotten so used to only eating around 1200 calories that unless it's a special event of some kind, I feel kind of guilty when I go over.
12/05 - 144 - Holding steady, which is where I like to be for now.
12/06 - 143 - It's good to see a little drop before the weekend.
12/07 - 143.5 - Not enough water yesterday.
12/08 - 143.5 - I just had a wonderful evening with my daughter. We went to see Christmas lights at a local historic mansion then went out to eat. I ate just under maintenance, but the quality of the calories were not that great. I'm sure my weight will be up tomorrow, but it was worth it.
12/09 - 144.5 - This is what I was expecting. I just hope it doesn't go up again tomorrow since my body can have a delayed reaction at times. Drinking water and eating better today. I'm not regretting the fun last night at all!
12/10 - 145 - Oh well, the difference this year is that I'm facing the inevitable weight gain from the parties and extra family time (which I am not regretting) and am realizing how to mitigate it. Plenty of water today in preparation for two Christmas parties tomorrow.
12/11 - 145 - All the water I drank yesterday did not make a dent. I'm still going to enjoy my office Christmas lunch and ladies golf league dinner tonight though. I have at least a week to count calories after tonight before I have another celebration.
12/12 - 145.5 - After logging my calories at just over 2000 yesterday (who knew a chocolate martini had over 400 calories!) I considered not weighing myself this morning. But as a couple other people have mentioned here, not keeping track of my weight is what got me to this place to begin with.

My goal is to stick to 1500 calories or less per day. I would love to see the 240s by the end of December and I feel confident I can do it.
12/03 - 256.6 - End R60 - bumped up 2# from the day before with indulgent after dinner eating.
12/04 - 255.8
12/05 - 253.8 - This is what I like about daily weighing. I can see that one or two off-plan days don't have to turn in to ruination as long as I get back to plan asap. (I edited my weight after posting because of TMI
)
12/06 - 254.4 - Yesterday, I made fudge for my partner to take to his Christmas party at work. Do I have to even tell you who ate some? To taste test of course.
The scale will show me a better number tomorrow.
12/07 - 255.6 - The scale didn't show me a better number today. lol . Too much non-essential eating before bed.
12/08 - 254.0 - That's better!
12/09 - 000.0 - DNW - I'm without a scale this morning. I ate approx. 4735 calories yesterday, almost all of them last night, all carbs & fat. Ugghhhh. I've had a very emotionally exhausting week and really crappy sleep and it's showing in my very poor food choices.
12/10 - 255.0 - I'm shocked! Yesterday's calories were 2205 and with the 4735 cals. from the day before, I really thought I'd see a higher number on the scale. Back to better food choices and lots of water today.
12/11 - 253.6 - I like it!

Back in the "legal" zone. I'm still slacking off on exercise because of lingering pain, especially in my joints. The elimination diet I was on eliminated 15 pounds but not the pain. Still a win! We tried another short course of prednisone and will re-check inflammation levels mid month and go from there. In the meantime, I need to suck it up and exercise anyway. Maybe I should join a "get off your butt for 10 days" challenge!
12/05 - 131.2 - 1160 - 10-day ave 1383
Follow-up visit with dietitian today re. the elimination diet, which has made no difference in my pain/inflammation. It will be interesting to hear what other suggestions she might have. In the meantime, I'm trying a new baked salmon patty recipe for lunch. Mmmm!
12/06 - 130.4 - 1370 - 10-day ave 1399
OK, back down where I belong. My dietitian visit left me a little confused and blue. I've seen no difference in pain with the elimination diet I did, and no symptoms of any sensitivities as I've added foods back into my diet. The only major changes I've noticed is that my gut seems to be functioning better and I lost 9 pounds on the diet. Anyway, my integrative doctor is sending me to another rheumatologist, and I know he's going to want me to take prednisone long term, and I'm not happy about that. The dietitian did say that 6 weeks of eliminating foods may not be enough and suggested I think about doing it again for 12 weeks, or even doing the much more restrictive auto-immune paleo diet. But of course if I take pred and follow the diet and the pain subsides, we won't know which treatment did it. I had such high hopes for the elimination diet I was on that I'm really bummed out right now. I don't want to be on pred long term but it's the only medication mentioned in anything I've read about PMR. Anyway, thanks for listening. My salmon patty (new recipe) yesterday was delicious, so there is that! And our kitten is lovely and funny and sweet, and I just sold two paintings, and I've just started a new book (writing, not reading, although I did just start Louise Penny's new book, Kingdom of the Blind). So I guess a bit of pain isn't the end of the world. Thanks for giving me a place to unload.
12/07 - 130.6 - 1140 - 1382
I'm feeling slightly less overwhelmed, although...I asked for a referral to a different rheumatologist and my integrative doctor tried, but because ALL the rheums in this system are in the same practice, they won't let me see a different doctor. I will not go back to the first one - he didn't listen, dismissed my concerns about prednisone, IMO lied to me abut potential side effects (said there are non for short-term use, which is not true), and spoke so fast I couldn't understand him (I had to see the printed appt report before I knew what he diagnosed, although I asked him to repeat several times). The other system in town has rheumatologsits but it's a 40-min drive to the office, which I'd just as soon avoid, so I'm pretty annoyed. I am going to contact the hospital admin to find out about recourse - can they really deny me care because I didn't feel comfortable with one of their doctors? The patient is punished for the doctor's shortcomings? OK, another rant, but I'm almost to the point of saying I'll just live with the pain. So annoying.

Went a little overboard yesterday, so I'll watch it today. We're having cabbage soup for dinner, so I know that's a low cal meal. I've decided anyway that hey, it's December, and if I can stay below 135, which was my UGW until I dropped lower, that's fine for this month. I may have to go back to another elimination diet after Christmas to try again on inflammation, but I'm going to enjoy my birthday and the holidays. So there!
12/12 - 131.8 - 1597 - 10-day ave 1480
Christmas party this evening, and I plan to enjoy the food, so I'm eating lots of protein and veggies the rest of the day and hitting the gym for at least an hour. Need to get my 10-day average back down. OTOH, I baked cookies to take tonight and am controlling myself, mostly. Oh, well - in two weeks the temptations of Christmas will be gone for another year. .

12/12 - 205.6. Well I guess that’s what happens when you get back to basics. When for a couple of walks yesterday, drank my water and ate sensibly. Now to keep that going...

12/04 174.4 undeserved but i'll enjoy it while it lasts
12/05 173.2 and the sun is shining!!
12/06 173.8 early weigh in - enjoyed some fruitcake yesterday but stayed within my calories - next special event is on the 12th so hopefully i can make some progress before then
12/07 173.8 not enough exercise yesterday
12/08 173.2
12/09 173.4 maintenance as a goal for the season is definitely helping with the stress, but I notice that my nutrition is not as good - too many carbs and salt and not enough protein - so this is not sustainable long term. Will try to address that this week.
12/10 174.4 ? ate well yesterday so I am not sure why the bounce
12/11 176 .0 mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! Now for the damage control.
12/12 175 That's better A christmas event this evening - going to have one piece of fruit cake and focus on the carol singing and maybe walk home afterwards weather permitting.

Day/Weight/Comment
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 -
12/6 - 176.2 -
12/7 - 176.4 - Up slightly. Feeling a little under the weather the past few days. Sore throat TRYING to take hold. Felt out of it yesterday and instead of laying down for a few, I ate a few tortilla chips. They did perk me up slightly and I was able to get through my evening chores.
12/8 - 176.4 - I'm calling yesterday an OMAD day, my meals were so close together. Hungry! Ate 1oz of pretzels and 2TBS homemade onion dip right after dinner. I don't usually get colds, just a feeling of I'm coming down with one and a sore throat for a few days. However, this sore throat was strange. It hurt in the center of my throat, felt like a lump I needed to swallow. Almost gone today thank goodness. I think I drowned it in water and tea. Lol.
12/9 - 177.4 - It was an early weigh in, but I ate the heck out of some pretzels yesterday so that's the gain.
12/10 - 178.8 - Temporary. My pretzel frenzy. Lol. It really wasn't. I only had 2ozs of them.
12/11- 176.6 - Lucky ducky. - I ate 700 calories worth of chips! I don't regret the indulgence. They were so delicious and dangerous! Porcini mushroom, rosemary and olive oil kettle chips.
12/12 - 178.4 - Chips! showing on the scale today, along with last nights late dinner. My fasting schedule has become erratic in the past week or so. My last meal of the day is sometimes at 7:30, 8:30. I don't like eating that late.

12/04 145.4 up a .2...why? No clue. Ate within a deficint, exercised good and had a little over 1.2 liters of water. I am assuming it's a slight fluctuation before a woooosh lol or at least I hope 🤞🤞volleyball tonight and I always see a loss the next day, so needless to say I am excited to weigh in tomorrow.
12/05 145.2 and down again. I was fine yesterday morning but by around dinner time the hunger monster awoke. I couldn't seem to get full, regardless of how hard I tried. I played volleyball and exercised pretty good yesterday but because of my eating, I ended on a maintenance. I also had a good amount of energy last night after I got home, so decided to exercise a bit more while doing laundry and didn't end up going to bed until after 2. Needless to say I need to get a bit more sleep then that.
12/06 145.2 my body is comfortable here. I guess I shouldn't complain, had a chocolate craving around 8 so that overkilled my calories by a bit. Exercised good and 2 liters of water.
12/07 144.0 last night I started feeling really sick. I think I caught the flu so I went to bed early and am still feeling sick now..have No clue what happened, was fine all day then BAM, nausea. So, as much as this number excited me, I also know it's because I only ate 600 cal. Yesterday and couldn't even count the amount of hours I have been sleeping. Once I feel better and start eating normally again, I will, get a more accurate number
12/08142 still sickness weight with little to no eating and maybe a bit of dehydration, even though water was the only thing j made sure I was indulgent in. I am feeling much better today and hungry...so I expect this weight will increase by tomorrow 😥😥 I wish it hadn't been because of an illness
12/09 142.8 i am not looking at this as a usual gain, I am looking at it as a "I am back to eating normal and I am feeling better, so I obviously would gain after two days of eating nothing" I am still not taking this as my for sure weight, I think I will wait until it balances out again. I got back to exercising yesterday, especially because I felt like a million bucks, which was great! Drank 1.2 liters of water and stayed under calories..hope everyone is having a great weekend!
12/10 142.8 so I guess my body likes it here and has decided to stay. I am assuming being sick had made my body feel as if it was doing a fast because I am surprised I didn't gain more weight back now that I have been eating normally again. I'm not complaining though lol. Finally moved back into my apartment and was able to sleep in my own bed ever since the flood months ago, so moving boxes and cleaning kept me active. My TOM is expected on Wednesday so I am assuming I will have a weight fluctuation before the end of the round 😥😥 always at the worst time I tell ya! Drank 1 liter of water and ate under Calories. I Hope everyone has a great Monday!!
12/11 no weigh in, sort of had to take the car in for an oil change so I had to be up a lot earlier than usual..didn't get to weigh in until after I ate and I was a whopping 144. TOM is due tomorrow so we will just have to see In the morning what my scales has to say for sure. Today I received an early birthday present...a fit bit!! I am so happy and excited!! My mom decided I should be rewarded, i guess, for all the hard work I have been doing and she knows how anal I am about being exact when it comes to my steps and calorie burns. I don't think I have ever received such a nice, thoughtful gift and to keep the momentum going, my team won all 6 of our volleyball games tonight!! Today was really a great day!
12/12 143.8 woke up feeling and looking terribly bloated, so the pound isn't surprising. I have been eating a little more than usual but I am still managing a respectable deficint. NSV I am over 7 days without having a chocolate. When I first started "..10 days" I had a better handle on things, having chocolate once or twice a month but ever since Halloween the cravings have been harder to manage and the amount of times I was giving in was not ok. Although the past couple of days have been the most difficult (TOM woes) I managed to stick to no chocolate and am planning to keep going until my birthday.

@SheilaBoneham - I can see your tracker on my desktop computer using mozilla firefox. Google Chrome crashed on me here at the office a while ago and I haven't been able to get it to function since.2
-
I have 4 or 5 days of reading to catch up on!
@SheilaBoneham, I can see your tracker on the app and the Silk browser on my kindle.4 -
Now I'm starting another round not at the beginning. But life is so busy right now - yet I know I need this challenge, and MFP in general, to keep me motivated. It's a tough time of year -- sweets and cookies EVERYWHERE! If I tell myself I'm weighing in and posting it, it keeps me on track (and I could go WAY off track!) I am close to my ultimate goal, and I really want to reach it, but mostly, I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK to that old me! It's been three years now -- but the danger is always there. LOL!
61 years old (really happy about that lately....:D)
5'3" (yoga gave me back an inch -- I had "shrunk" to 5'2" -- but I'm back at 5'3" -- used to be 5'3.5" so I've got a little ways to go still! )
CW: 129.3 (this a.m.) -- I went up to 131 just last week (those cookies!!)
GW: 118 - 120 (I have been as low as 122... it felt GREAT!)
Goal for this round -- can I get back down to 127 or 126? I'm going to be a fit and skinny old woman and when I retire, (in like 5 years...geesh!) I will live in yoga clothes and adopt homeless dogs. (We are on our fourth "rescue" - a super anxious little black lab mix puppy that was found abandoned -- my husband and I are having "disagreements" about whether she needs a companion or not....)
12/6 -- 129.3
12/7 -- 129.1
12/8 -- 129.6
12/9 -- 130.4
12/10 --130.8
12/11-- 129.8 -- It was a weekend full of food --and what else can you do? OH - that's right --you can keep the
attention OFF of the food -- which I was successful at until I wasn't -- but this is the end game
for me -- and I need to remember it will be little steps... I was down to 125 just a little while ago,
but what are we talking about? Four -five pounds. I just am afraid when I hit that 130 that it keeps going up again. Weight maintenance is forever. We are traveling next week to go visit the husband's family for Christmas (we do this every year, and it's wonderful - we all rent cottages at a Southern California beach, no one "hosts," and we just enjoy it)-- and between now and then, I am going to go to yoga daily, get my work done, and focus on big salads and protein. It works. Maybe I'll go closer to 125 than 130. Keep it up everyone -- it is SO WORTH IT!!!
12/12 -- 128.7 Feeling really good about this as it's farther away from that dreaded 130 (or 131 even!) I was just a couple days ago. Yoga last night -- let me explain about my obsession -- it's "Baptiste power yoga" --we do it in a packed studio (there are quite a few of us that are addicted!) that's heated to 90 to 95 degrees -- and we move (a lot!) and do core work (a lot!) and strength training (we plank, side plank, dolphin (ugh!) and dolphin plank -- a lot!) and it's HARD and I am in love with it!! AND I ate salad and protein. I have a glass of red wine every damn evening. Non-negotiable. This is how I got here from 155 a couple of years ago and I know it works. I love hearing about all the fitness -- walking, running (personally I hate running -- lol!) rowing, working out, strength training, etc. -- you all incorporate into your days. I believe! It took me decades, but now I believe! Do something that makes you sweat everyday.12 -

Female/49 years/Missouri
Round 55 * -3.2 (I was sick)
Round 56 * +1.6
Round 57 * -1.8
Round 58 * -1.5
Round 59 * -0.04
Round 60 * -0.06
OSW - 213 (highest weight ever 280 but I've had most of that off for more than 15 years but still)
CW - 186.4
RGW - 185.4
UGW – 135
Food Goals:
Get 5 servings of fruits/veggies every day.
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
12/04 - 186.4 Just one day off from hitting my 186 goal. I guess eating 300 calories all day and 1100 after 6:00 p.m. is going to have an impact. Sure I stayed within goal but the timing screwed me for next day weigh in - lesson learned. Going to the gym tonight for weights. After six rounds I've lost 5.9 pounds. Very close to a pound a week. If I keep that pace I'll be at my goal in 1 year. I started in March but didn't really get serious until July or August. Here's to the next six weeks. It would be nice to start the new year in the 170's.
12/05 - Traveling no scale. I drove four hours yesterday in the snow, then went straight to the hotel. I did two miles on the treadmill but did not make it to the gym. The roads are clear, I'm going to the gym tonight.
12/06 - Traveling no scale. Went to the gym and had a great workout. Stayed within calories and didn't have any sweets. I'm driving 4 hours home this afternoon - in snow again. I'm a little anxious about tomorrow morning's weigh-in after two days of nothing. This weighing every day thing is kind of addictive.
12/07 - 186.1 I'm happy with that. My boyfriend was traveling with me which means I'm going to much more interesting restaurants and it's more of a challenge to stay within calories. In this case Thai and Vietnamese; I struggle to log it. I do my best guess and that has to be good enough. I still exercised and didn't go too crazy (Ok I had more of his onion strings than I should have on the last day).
12/08 - 186.7 Boom- Chicka Dark Chocolate drizzle is fine in small quantities, unfortunately small quantities aren’t possible because it’s so delicious. I now know I can’t handle it and won’t buy it again. I have no excuse
12/09 - 185.3 Not sure why I’m down today but I ain’t mad. I was right on target yesterday and my only exercise was moving furniture and house cleaning but I guess it was enough.
12/10 - 185.5 Up slightly, my guess is the sodium rich Papa Murphy's Chicken artichoke delite pizza I had for dinner. Within calories easily but high in sodium. I would think that would be gone tomorrow as long as I stay on target today. I walked 4 miles yesterday and it was great. I am starting to love walking in the cold. I have a meeting with my boss at 3:30, should be done by 4:00. That should give me enough time to get another walk in before it's too dark.
12/11 - 185.5 I'll take no change. I don't want to jinx myself I want to end this round at 185.4 or lower. I have stay focused. I did get 3 miles in yesterday, fastest time yet 50:05. That's speedy for me! I would love to get to 15 minutes miles instead of 16 minute miles then I could get 4 in an hour. That would be awesome sauce. Tonight weights! When I restarted this lifestyle change for the 4th or 5th time I had 78 pounds to lose, the goal seemed too unobtainable. I'm a third of the way there now, I can see that' it's going to be possible as long as I stay vigilant.
12/12 - 184.9 I didn't expect this, but I'm VERY happy about it. It was in the 50's yesterday so I took a short 1.3 mile walk before going to the gym. On the weight machines for a little over an hour. I will say I couldn't do some of the heavier weights last night. Not sure what's up with that but I'll go at it again next Tuesday. Since I'm below goal for this round today, I'm scared I'll be up tomorrow. I don't care about calories today, just keep the sodium LOW!

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!
12/07 - 184.8 - Started working out, decent workout. Also started to take creatine, so my weight may go up for the next couple of weeks, but I am ok with that.
12/08 - 183.4 - Had a fancy work dinner that was amazing. Had a dessert I shouldn't have, but its all good. Got my workout in and spent a bunch of time with family today.
12/09 - 183.6 - Rest day from workouts. Ate sensibly.
12/10 - 184.2 - Had a good day. Did pretty well as far as food (except sodium), and crushed my workout.
12/11 - 183.2 - Hoping for another good day today. Planning on a steak dinner tonight and a good HIIT sprint workout and an ab workout.
12/12 - 183.8 - Had my steak dinner and got my workout in yesterday. I am sore as can be (2nd day after 1st squat day after a 2 week hiatus). Deadlifts and more today, so we will see how that goes tonight.

I'm in - my 2nd round
Female - 56, 5'5"
OSW: 179.4
UGW: 140.0
End R60: 174.8
12/03 - 174.8
12/04 - 174.6 Small victory. I enjoyed goulash and garlic bread for dinner last night but used portion control.
12/05 - 174.6 Holding steady. I have to keep motivated. I should maybe add a little more exercise, or just some exercise lol, would be good. I know that would kick it up (or down) a notch.
12/06 - 174.0 Now that's more like it. 20 minutes on the treadmill and I survived. I might try it again tonight.
12/07 - 172.8 Woo Hoo! Gotta keep on it. Love the feeling of accomplishment.
12/08 - 173.6 Too much celebration. I didn't think I went over on my calories that much but just poor food choices - starchy and salty. I did exercise. Minor setback. I'm going to concentrate on more water and more veggies this weekend and maybe Monday i will see that number on the scale again.
12/09 - 175.0
12/10 - 175.8 The weekends are hard for me. I need a new plan - not sure what it is yet. I'm going to have to work hard to finish out this round with a loss. It can and WILL be done. (Pep talk to myself.)
12/11 - 174.0 Happy Dance. Same plan for today. One day at a time. One hour at a time. One bite (not mouthful) at a time.
12/12 - 173.0 Weekend weight OFF. I've got three days until the next weekend. Today's goal - veggies, veggies, veggies (why can't fruits be veggies - I don't have a problem eating enough fruits lol).
12/13 -14
