12/05 193.4 MUST STOP LATE NIGHT SNACKING!! Ugh!!
12/06 194.4 Yup not only snacked at 8:00pm, I ate the other half of my gyro at 8:30!! Here’s to a successful day today.
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!

My 22nd round!
OSW: 186 (March 2018)
UGW: 144-147
Pre challenge weight loss: -12 lbs.
Challenge weight loss R40 – R60: -30 lbs.
R61 SW: 144 EW: 145 (+1)
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.
12/13 - 145 - I'm up a pound for this round, but I'm still within my maintenance weight, so I'm happy.14 -
Round 61 - my 4th round
Female - 58 - 5'7"
OSW: 271.8 (Oct 9/18)
UGW: 165 or lower
End R58: 261.2 (-2.2)
End R59: 258.8 (-2.4)
End R60: 256.6 (-2.2)
End R61: 252.0 (-4.6)
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!
12/12 - 253.0 - I like this, too!
12/13 - 252.0 - I'm very happy I pulled myself together to finish this round!
4.6 pound loss this round. It's so high only because my starting weight happened to reflect a high calorie day from the day before but I'll take it!
See Everyone in Round 62!15 -

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.
12/08 - 131.8 - 1884 - 10-day ave 1418
It's water! We went out for lunch yesterday and my calories & sodium were both high for the day, plus I had a minor binge last night that would have been fine if not for the big lunch. But it's fine - I have today mapped out. Happy weekend!
12/09 - 131.6 - 1356 - 10-day ave 1405
Cold weather is making me want to bake. Last night, chocolate chip cookies. But I ate only one, so all good.
12/10 - 131.6 - 1615 - 10-day ave 1392
Gaaa! I had a post written about averages yada yada and it disappeared. I hate when that happens! Maybe I'll write it again later.... Monday, Monday....
12/11 - 131.6 - 1770 - 10-day ave 1450
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. .
12/13 - 132.6 - 1581 - 10-day ave 1473
Totally expected this. I pretty much pigged out at the party last night, and that's ok, I planned it. I also think some of it is water from all the sugar. Now I'm back on track, with an occasional goody through the 25th. So I'm up a little for the second round in a row. Hopefully I'll stay here or lose a little by the end of R62, and then drop this again as I try another round of elimination dieting. All good. On a happy note, though, at least 5 people at the party cornered me to ask how I lost the weight. That was nice!

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!
12/13 - 185.4 I knew yesterday was an anomaly. I'm happy with this round. The next ten days will be a real challenge with holiday baking starting this weekend. Good luck my friends.13 -
Goal: stay mindful and don't blow the month just because of a few more outtings then usual.
Try to see under 140 by DEC 22
Keep at it!!

SW 145.2
GW 143
UGW 125
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.
12/13 142.4 exercised good, drank 1.2 liters of water, 13000 steps and ate under Calories. I set my step goal for 8000 but I don't know what would be a good goal, so I went for the minimum. I know I can walk more then I do (a lot of the steps are because of cardio routines) so I am greatful for the fit bit.. I can really step it up now. I am happy to be ending here, it's a great loss for the round 😁

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.
12/13 - 177.2 - I've been dilly dallying in the 170's since September 21. Time to climb out of this whirlpool.

ROUND 61 (Round 8 for me)
5’5” 66 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Started Keto WOE on September 24th (2018). Still experiencing decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain since the second week of Keto. Since starting the keto, I’ve lost 21 lb., I wear smaller jeans, and I’m encouraged to press on. Staying within calorie limits is easy enough, but not exceeding my carb limit is difficult. Per my KetoMojo meter, I’m in ketosis most of the time.
Rounds 54 – 60 resulted in a loss of 20.4 lb.! Love it!
Day/Weight/Comment
12/04 156.4 This is what I wanted to see yesterday! Better late than never. Yesterday, my podiatrist offered a $450 custom orthotic insert my insurance won’t cover. I’ll think about it for 2 weeks before I see the doctor again. Meanwhile, I have a wrap on my foot, and Thor (my GSD) and I will start C25K today. We walked 5.2 miles twice last week, so it’s time to pick up the pace.
12/05 156.0 Thor and I incorporated C25K into the beginning of our 5 mile walk yesterday. I was excited, and it felt great; however, last night, my left knee hurt—a lot. I iced it and took an extra anti-inflammatory. It’s not quite as bad this morning, but it hurts, and I’m walking with care. My initial thought is that I should have done more lower body strength training to prepare myself. I may have to backtrack and give myself another month of preparation. My foot didn’t hurt, so I’ll probably trust the podiatrist and buy the orthotic insert. I ran in my new Mizuno running shoes, which is a brand that has wide widths, good arch support, and has served me well in the past. I really want to run again.
12/06 156.2 As slow as I moved yesterday, this weight looks reasonable. I was supposed to complete my second C25K session today, but it’s not to be. I’ll have to be patient—knee is still hurting. I practiced walking slowly yesterday and making my knee bend. I can’t walk stiff-legged and expect it to loosen up. My cousin gave me an ointment, and I used heat a few times yesterday. I see the orthopedist tomorrow. For today, I’m going to play cards with the girls and try not to think about the knee. I’ve learned, “All things work together for good to them who love the Lord, to those who are called according to his purpose.” I just have to stop whining and complaining. 😊 Have a blessed day, Everyone!
12/07 155.2 No whining or complaining! I enjoyed playing cards with the girls and ate according to plan, but I sure miss walking normally. Thor doesn’t understand why we’re not getting out for our walks. I hope to get tips/information from the orthopedist that will soon have me walking (running?) again without pain.
12/08 154.4 I like the looks of that number. Doc said I have a torn meniscus and gave me a steroid shot. He suggested I stick with walking, but I’m not ready to give up on running. I will strengthen my knees before trying to run again. I hope the meniscus will heal, but, if not, I’ll have it repaired. This morning, my knee still bends more easily, but it’s more swollen than yesterday. I’ll try some ice. This, too, shall pass!
12/09 154.4 After posting yesterday, I looked up “swelling after steroid injection.” Apparently, it’s common and I need to ice and stay off my feet, as much as possible, for a couple of days. Sounded like a good excuse to take it easy, so, except for preparing meals, I rested! This morning, there’s less swelling, but the knee is still sore. I guess, after church, I’ll have to take it easy again. Today, I will pray for a blessed day of rest, in God’s loving care, for all of us.
12/10 154.0 Every day, I have small food temptations, but, so far, I’m pretty good at telling myself “No.” Sometimes, I yell "NO" at myself. Today, I’m grateful to be retired and not have to get ready and drive to work every morning, at least not until tax season starts in January. Even then, I won’t go to work every day. Of course, there’s always plenty of work to be done at home and on our small farm. Today, my knee is easier to bend than it was yesterday, but it's still sore. Tomorrow is the monthly community women's gathering. My grandmother, great grandmother, and two great-great aunts were charter members, so, last year, I decided I was old enough and had the time to join. My goal on Wednesday is to take Thor for a walk--something shorter than 5 miles.
12/11 153.2 That smaller number was unexpected, and mildly disturbing. Anyway, I forgot to mention my NSV. Last week, I tried on my wedding band, and it fits again! Hooray! I missed wearing it. Also, my husband said, “You’re disappearing—in a good way.” Before we married, I knew he wasn’t attracted to “fluffy” women. Despite his preference, he continued to love me and be supportive when I gained weight. I freely admit, I’m losing weight to please him and to please myself. Carrying around an extra 40 lb. every day is too much work! Losing weight and getting fit is a win-win goal. My knee is still improving. Thor will probably get a walk with me tomorrow. Now, I have to go into town for a print cartridge so I can finish printing lyrics for the women's club meeting today; hence, I had to get up earlier than usual.
12/12 152.4 Okay, is it the keto WOE or a dread disease causing my accelerated loss? That’s 1.6 lb. in the last 2 days. I’ve had my cancer screenings in the last few months, so I will choose to be thankful. After all, I am trying to lose weight. Some of it could be back tomorrow. I can walk normally this morning, with barely a twinge of pain in my knee. It’s a mild day, so Thor and I will, once again, get out for a walk, a shorter one. I can’t believe there’s only one day left of this challenge. The days pass so quickly!
12/13 152.8 This is kind of reassuring. After the second drop yesterday, I was a little concerned I may be dying, which would be okay, except I don’t have my house cleaned up yet. I asked the Lord to help me get the house cleaned out before I die so my kids don’t have to bother with getting rid of a lot of “stuff.” We had to do that almost 4 years ago when my mother passed, and, of course, some of her “stuff” is still in my house. Thor and I walked two, slow, miles yesterday. My knee is a little unstable, and there's still some pain. I iced it when I got home. Right now, my primary focus is getting my knee healthy. Less body weight should help that process.
I see a few in our group got into the holiday spirit this round, but most stayed the course. The next two rounds will test our resolve. See you in Round 62!

12/03 (Start weight) 177.4
12/04 - Tuesday - 178.8 - Hmmm...well thats interesting. I guess the weekend just took a day to catch up with me. Yesterday was a good eating day, even did a little yoga to destress and it was a circus at work. Not sweating it though...I felt really good this morning. Sticking to habits today, canned soup for lunch and eggroll in a bowl for dinner and tomorrows lunches. When I closed yesterdays diary is said I would be 170.5 in 5 weeks time so that was encouraging seeing that I'm not far "off schedule" to short term goal #3!
12/05 - Wednesday - 178.8 - Ate Wendys without prelogging last night and now I know that a spicy chicken sandwich and fries is 1100 calories! Whoops. Ended the day around maintenance but it was not what I had planned and beat myself up over it for a moment - DH reminded me that it is a TREAT and I'm not eating fast food every day like I used to. I then gave myself some credit for the changes I've made and was able to enjoy the fact that we actually had a nice impromptu dinner date. This is a LIFELONG journey so getting used to a normal amount of eating out is needed - I cant beat myself up over living life! But I can learn from it!
12/06 - Thursday - 177.4 - Stressful evening last night. DH may be seeking other employment, unknown is terrifying but we will be okay. Anyway, work feels like a funeral today. Stuck to habits this morning and will be clinging to them thru this. Endo follow up this afternoon - and physical appointment labs came back looking good! My non-fasting glucose was 87 at 3PM!!! More labs to be done today and hoping to see improvement there also.
12/07 - Friday - 177.0 - Feeling more optimistic about our future today - the only thing I can plan for is that the plan will change - sticking by that motto through this next chapter. Endocrinologist appointment was amazing. Doc said I can come off my metformin, and other meds - continue with lifestlye changes and ready to start trying to conceive!!! PCOS symptoms have subsided, which is the whole reason I got serious about this journey. Smashing goals and pushing on to the next goal!
12/08 - Saturday - 176.0 - low cal day yesterday, mostly due to nerves still, wasnt terribly hungry. Our neighbor/tenant brought over homemade soup and grilled cheese for dinner, so that saved me from the super salty chili baked potato I had planned and was a nice little get together. Brought the dog for a bath at the new pet store and washed bedding so everyones feeling less stuffy and squeky clean! Also noticed my hair feels really healthy! Making meal plans today, need to do full haul grocery shop and farm shop.
12/09 - Sunday - 175.6 - Yesssss!!! Ate what I wanted yesterday but kept it in the green. This May also be a little bit stress related but Im usually a stress overeater so I'll take it as a win.
12/10 - Monday - 175.2 - Stress related still, appetite is just not there so I'm eating way smaller portions when I do eat. Went to the grocery store and farm this weekend so fridge is full to continue cooking most meals at home. Dinner with parents last night was really nice - it was foreign to me not to fill up on cheese and crackers before dinner, but I did stress eat an extra piece of pie late last night. Busy week so need to plan accordingly.
12/11 - Tuesday - 174.8 - So last night I decided to stop moping. DH is actually dear fiance, we've been engaged two years but prioritized buying a house over a wedding. And I think subconsciously I pushed it off because I didnt like the skin I was in. Yesterday I saw a wedding event at a boutique bridal shop that is carrying a line I'm really interested in. So I made an appointment! We don't have a date set, we still might end up at the town hall - but I finally felt confident enough to stand in front of a huge mirror and try on dresses! And to finally feel worth it is just as much a success as losing any amount of weight!
12/12 - Wednesday - 174.0 - Stress continues to drive this number downwards more than anything I think...but to give myself credit I am cooking all meals and eating 100% on plan. Busy day today, packed breakfast, lunch and dinner because I've got an ultrasound to monitor my thyroid this evening. I bought two individual frozen pizzas so I have something to look forward to on Friday without ordering out - and I'm already looking forward to it haha. 175 has always been some weird mental road block that I tend to start self sabotaging on so I'm excited to push thru it!
12/13 - Thursday - 173.4 - Wow this round has been my biggest loss in a long time. I've been on point with eating and hydration and I'm psyched with this progress! I've said NO to a lot of things that werent "worth" it to me at the time, but I'm still eating what I want within reason and saving the good stuff for the upcoming holidays. I do need to remember that over restricting is just going to make me more likely to binge so trying to keep everything in moderation, even moderation. TOM is due next week and I can feel my hunger ramping up so I'll be mindful of listening to my body and hunger cues. SO CLOSE TO 40 LBS LOST!!!!17 -

I 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.
I need to step up my game if I want to meet any of my goals.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/04 - 178.8 - Ate reasonably yesterday
12/05 - 178.6 - Hubby wanted burgers for supper last night from A&W, I agreed and usually don't have any myself but I was starving by the time I got there and ordered so I caved. Had fries too.... Way over in the red yesterday.
12/06 - 177.6 - Had an ok day again yesterday.
12/07 - 178.6 - Pretty sure this is sodium related today
12/08 178.6 overate yesterday
12/09 - 178.8 - high sodium bit hot a bad day yesterday really
12/10 - 178.4 - will be back on track today
12/11 - 178.8

Round 61 - (my 2nd round)
51, Standing: 5'9" in NYC
OSW: 274 ~ CSW: 234.2 ~ GW: 230
12/03 ~ 235.2 - End R60 not too bad overall. Down 1.6 lbs.
12/04 ~ 234.2 - SOOOORE is the word of the day.
12/05 ~ 233.1 - Unexpectedly had time yesterday and spent HOURS deep cleaning house, moving furniture, reorganizing closets and decorating for the holidays. So surprisingly not as sore today, but feeling achy enough in my knees and lower back to make this a rest day for sure. Hoping some mild stretching this morning and eve gets the kinks out ~ and the weight loss keeps dropping! Have a great day everyone.
12/06 ~ 232.9 - My sore body bows in gratitude and prays the good fortune continues, lol 🙏
12/07 ~ 232.8 - thought it would be higher, but a drop is a drop! Happy Friday all!
12/08 ~ 233.4 - Ate lightly yesterday but ended up finishing the night with a wine spritzer, crab cake and a piece of chocolate! Had extra calories, so still ended under in every category except fat of course, lol. 5 hours sleep has me feeling hungrier than usual this morning but no complaints.
12/09 ~ 233.6 - The past few days I've been increasing my calorie deficit, but I could tell this morning that's not a good strategy for me. It's obvious I'm not eating enough. I can feel my body hoarding like a cactus in the heat! Going to test my strategy and overeat a tiny bit today to see if that turns the wheel back in the right direction.
12/10 ~ 232.2 - originally ended the night early with a deficit (wasn't hungry and didn't want to force myself just to test a theory). But around 9pm I was STARVING and wolfed down about 2oz of left over salmon in the fridge. What a difference that bit of protein made!! I slept deeper than I have the past few nights and woke with more energy this morning. In the end, I did "overeat a tiny bit" and later than I normally like to. IDK if any of it factored in the drop or if I'm over analyzing, but I am happppppy like a room without a roof Have a great week everyone!! Hope all your goals are met.
12/11 ~ 232.0 - Party tonight, so liquid breakfast and a light lunch today in preparation.
12/12 ~ ??????? - Though I stayed within the green, it was a really late night and I'm slightly hungover. It also feels like food is still in my system and I've no desire to see it reflected on the scale this morning, lol. Hoping tomorrow ends well.
12/13 ~ 231.4 - Thanks so much @GrandmaJackie ~ can't believe I'm down 5 pounds in 10 days!!! Truly believe the accountability here is the main reason I've resumed control over myself, lol. Now just two more parties and the family Holiday dinner to get through .... woohoo

Round 55 -179
Round 56 - 180
Round 57 - 178
Round 58 - 177
Round 59 - 175
Round 60 - 178
My goals this round- get to 172. Drink lots of water.
12/3 - 178 - I swooshed up but need to get back into it. I leave for a day or two, hoping to be a wise eater.
12/4 - No scale
12/5 - 177
12/6 - 177
12/7 - 177 - I figured out that when I rely on dairy for my protein, I still crave carbs. I normally have hard boiled eggs, cooked meat in the freezer and lunch meat I can put in salads....tuna too. However, the cottage cheese I have been working on, is not helping at all. The chips are almost all gone.😬
12/8 - 176
12/9 - Refused to weigh after salty food.
12/10 - 176 - I have a few gatherings to go to this week. Usually that is cause to go off the rails. I am going to try my best.
12/11 -No Scale
12/12 - 175 - I am skipping a noon Christmas party because I don’t feel like driving an hour to stand around and eat. I am quilting with my friend instead. I haven’t felt like exercising because I spend so much time packing our house up and I get tired just doing that.
12/13 - 176- I just want out of the 170’s.
See all of you next round. We have our work cut out for us!!!!!

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 - 172.4 Nice finish to this round. Looking forward to the next round.13
