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!!!!

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.

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 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.

R61 SW 174.8 +1.6

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.
12/13 173.4 Not sure what I did to get this woosh - probably it won't hold but its a lovely way to end the round. Results for the round -1.4 See all you lovely people in the next round.

Rejoining after completely losing the plot for a number of reasons. Not the least of which was turning 60 and having an extended party for a few days. Too much sodium in what I have eaten. Too much sugar in the sparkling wine I drunk each evening. Back on track now.

About me: 62, 5'7", hit maintenance in March 2018 and, typical yoyo, currently bouncing back up over original goal weight of 130.
Want to get back to 127-128
Crept back to JGM10D quietly in Round 60, after intentionally sitting out a number of rounds, because I need the daily accountability that worked before.

12/4 - 131.2 - over maintenance calories yesterday. Really tired plus sugary treats in the evening. Dropping goal calories to the .5 loss goal for this round, and we shall see!
12/5 - 130.4 - just at my new calorie limit that should result in .5 a week loss. 7500 steps and I do eat back as much of the fitbit calorie adjustment as I want to, that's worked for me before.
12/6 - 130.0 - just at my new gentle-loss calorie limit. 8500 steps. Poor sleep last night, can make for a weak-willed day, so I am on guard.
12/7 - 130.4 - yep I was over on calories yesterday. 7800 steps. However, did get almost 9 hours of sleep last night, much needed. Today I have a wellness check Dr appointment, something I rarely do!
12/8 -130.8 - over on calories and under on steps yesterday, only 5000. The after work snacking got me. Still, doing better so far today.
12/9 - 130.8- just under my .5 loss plan calories for yesterday, 7000 steps. Took a lovely 2 mile walk with our little rescue dog this morning - we've had her for only about 6 weeks - she is doing so much better with the "snoot loop" type collar, no longer getting my arm pulled off when she sees a squirrel or another dog or a bicyclist or a runner or ...

12/10 - 131.0 - under maintenance but a bit over my modest-loss goal yesterday. 13500 steps though, included a 1.5 mile run with dogger. More than happy with the way my average is shaping up this challenge.
12/11 - 131.2 - WAAY over maintenance yesterday and only 6000 steps.
12/12 - 131.0 - Way over maintenance again and only 6000 steps. Finally slept better, I think it was exhaustion that made me feel like I was getting the flu!

12/13 - 131.2 - Just a bit over maintenance and 11000 steps, I will count that as reining it in and finishing... well, acceptably. ON TO THE NEXT! Thank you friends, I am really enjoying the structure of posting here again.

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: +8.4 (14.1%)

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!

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.

12/13 - 187.0 - Big jump in weight. Was high in sodium and significantly over calories yesterday. Also, I feel like the creatine is kicking in so I expected a higher weight this morning.

Round 60: My 28th round!!

12/3 155.6 Not eating out ✅ or eating sugar ✅ until Fri nite if and only if I weigh under 155 Fri AM.
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! 👍🎉🌈🌟❣
Trend wt: 155.1
12/5 154.8
Trend wt: 155

12/6 154.4 A NEW LOW!! Trend wt: 154.8 Too exciting BMI: Now 23.1 🤩 successfully dropped my calorie intake by >300 per day, compared to November. Ate out breakfast & lunch, though...
12/7 154.8 salty restaurant dinner with my friend
12/8 157 😵 ate lunch out today with DH.

Note for future: Eating out ONCE leads to more days of the same — for me.

12/9 157.4 From Bad to Worse ☹️ I’m completely flummoxed. I never gain this much in 1-2 days. I’ve been exercising, eating fewer calories, drinking water, macros are my normal... sodium is low (although I have eaten out so maybe it’s higher??) a Complete Shock. The only explanation I can fathom is when I eat out, I estimate. At home, I weigh all foods. So accuracy is lower when I eat our. But I could not have been off 3,500 calories x 2.6 lbs over 2 days!

Ate my regular breakfast this morning. I’m sure “this, too, shall pass.”

Hope to be 155 again by end of this Round❗ ✅ I’m not worried, just really surprised. Maybe this is what I needed to decide in my heart if I’m going to maintain or lose now. #SilverLining

12/10 157 Continuing to do all the right things. Re-took measurements & they are the same. Lower body is more toned, though. Reminded myself that I’ve lost almost 35 lbs in the last year — even with this hiccup. Good practice for maintenance & a good reminder that I do much better if I don’t eat out.

12/11 155.4 Terrific. Didn’t eat out, walked a ton, rested, relaxed, ate with 400 calorie deficit.

12/12 155 yay. Didn’t eat out, walked 5 miles (hilly), rested, relaxed, ate with deficit 360 calories.

12/13 153.8 Blinked when I saw the number! My New LOW❣️❣️❣️ Didn’t eat out, walked > 1 hour, made some art, still taking it easy somewhat & regrouping.Ate with a deficit of 457, hoping scale would get back to 154’s.) very encouraging

Average for November 156.59 lbs
Average for December (so far) 155.4
As long as my monthly averages go down by at least one pound, I’m good.

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. Treadmill
12/6 131.5 Good day yesterday. Gym @2 today with Amy. Treadmill and weights. 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!
12/7 132.0 No JJ’s or Fiesta yesterday. My hamstring and neck hurt and it was all I could do to sit on the bleachers and watch the ballgame. Our girls won - big time.
12/8 132.0 Hamstring was better yesterday but neck was not. Finally got to sleep at almost 2AM this morning. Used a 4 year expired “heat wrap” on my neck/shoulder.
12/9 132.0 Met up with Fluffy and her husband last evening. She was talking to another lady and somehow my diet crept into the conversation. She was saying, “Jaine could have . . . Oh no, you can’t eat that, well, (pause, repeat, pause, repeat) I said, “I CAN eat anything, I choose not to.” Then more to the other lady she said, “I’m so glad Joe likes me fluffy!” Personally, I’m glad I don’t take insulin or other diabetes meds or have to have my A1C checked multiple times per year. Went to bed just before midnight and I didn’t sleep well. I may sleep in the recliner tonight.
12/10 132.5 Went to champagne brunch, our OMAD. I ate Keto except a small spring roll HOWEVER, I drank way more champagne than I should have! Spent all day yesterday in a chair with the heating pad wrapped around my neck. Bought Salonpas to see if that would help my neck. It seems to be much better this morning but I’m worried that I will do something to aggravate it.
12/11 134.0 Delayed affect of the champagne? The only food I ate yesterday was a large Greek Salad. I weighed the same thing 3 months ago today, 2 days after our last cruise ended. Until I looked back at my journal and saw that, I was feeling quite distressed. I’m okay now. I know I overindulged on Sunday so as long as I stick to my plan, I’ll ride the wave and be back where I want to be in a couple of days.
12/12 133.0
12/13 132.0 I looked at the community calendar last night and realized the holiday dinner is this week not next week. But it doesn’t matter, we didn’t buy tickets so I guess I’ll save my holiday dress for February on the cruise.

@aFit50, congratulation on your 5 pound loss this round, woot hoot!

Round 61

Please join us! Starting on 12/04 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 61
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

SW: 143.3
GW:140

Day/Weight/Comment

12/05 142.2 ~ (Steps 21,741) ~ Yesterday was a really successful day for healthy food choices, it felt great getting a pool session in. Tonight my husband and I are going to Fantasy Lights after going out to dinner. My goal is to stick to healthy food choices for dinner.

12/06 - x - Struggled with my food yesterday, not proud 😈😭😫 of my food choices but onwards to making better food choices today.

12/07 144.4 ~ (Steps 22,846) ~ Yesterday, I was able to get a Body Works Class in finally. It’s been about two months since I’ve been able to make a class. I’m actually really sore, which is a good sore. Hopefully next Thursday I can make another class. My weight gain isn’t as bad as I thought it would be, I’ll take it. Here’s to the next 6 days making them count.....

12/08 144.9 ~ (Steps 17,177)

12/11 145.3 ~ (Steps 23,931) ~ Needless to say I was able to continue Christmas decorating, real successful day in eating healthy plus getting a pool session helped tremendously.

12/12 145.8 ~ (Steps 17,475) ~ 😢😢

12/13 145 ~ (Steps 21,450) ~ Unfortunately I’ve gained this round 😈😭, bring on round 62.

@dowhatrightis 🤣🤣🤣 that Rick and morty comment got me lmao

quiltingjaine · December 2018

@dowhatrightis Are you tracking your macros? I don’t count calories. Meeting your protein macro is most important, using healthy fats to satisfy and your carbs should be healthy carbs and not exceed your macro. Carbs are a limit, protein a goal, fat a lever. Do you test your Ketones?

Starting Weight 175-178
Current Weight 155.0 end of round 60 (ended on a Monday, always my highest day of the week)
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.
12/07 - 152.3 Down an ounce I guess I can't complain. My husband will be home tomorrow, and am looking forward to having him back. I didn't realize how much he really does help, even if it just keeping the kids tamed so I can do dinner or homework,lol. He hasn't traveled in a long time for work, so him being gone a week has been harder than I thought. He used to do it all of the time and it never bothered me. Even my sleep has been off not having him there. The older kids have helped out though and really stepped up, so that's been good. I think this would have been lower, but I decided to have 3 chocolate mini candy bars last night at 9 pm. So going to do better today and see what my final weigh in tomorrow is for this week. Now to face the weekend! Uuggghh
12/08 - 151.1 Did't post but weighed
12/09 - 152.6 Busy weekend weighed but didn't post
12/10 - 153.9 There is my usual Monday bump from the weekend. Did really well Saturday. Not so great yesterday. Hopefully I fall tomorrow. We will see. Still should end with a loss this time.
12/11 - 152.1 Coming back down after the weekend. Did well yesterday, normal lunch, made tacos and beans for dinner. I can tell my portion sizes are getting smaller and fill me up without even thinking about it anymore. This round should end in the low 150's. I'm sure I will bounce around 151 and 150 for a week or so. It seems my body knows I am going to drop to a new decade and it holds onto it for dear life. So I don't expect to see 140 something until the end of the next round. It's ok, I'm used to it anymore,lol. Slow progress is still progress
12/12 - 151.1 Back down to Saturdays weight. Maybe I will finish tomorrow with 150 something. Was absolutely starving about midnight last night. So I am going to try and up my calories today by a couple hundred. I have been trying to eat at a deficit the last couple of weeks to hit 148 by Christmas, but I think it is getting to me. At least we are ending this round on a weekday so I will show a loss this time. Can’t believe 2018 is almost over. I was hoping to hit my 30 pound loss by the end of this year. I may have to settle for 27 or 28. Which is still good.
12/13 - 150.4 I will take this and run. 5 more pounds to 145(my first goal) and I am at my do not go over weight and my first goal. Changed my ugw to 135ish. I am only 5'3" but I have 36DD breasts, so I think once I get any skinnier than that it just looks awkward on me. I guess we will see once I meet that if I want to change again. Super happy with this round. The last 2 weeks I have worked to find balance with everything. I do think it is a big loss from the last round, but that's because the last round ended on a Monday (my highest day no matter what) and ended on a Thursday. So good luck everybody on round 62. See you there!

Woman, Age 47, 5'6", Celiac disease
OSW: 252

Round 61 SW: 220

12/4—216.2—That's 3.8 pounds since yesterday. The amount of water I was retaining with TOM was pretty impressive! Still not feeling great, but improving.

12/5—216.8—A bump up but this was an early weigh in. Not a real gain. I'm in week 3 of my pushups challenge and I can really see my improvement. I'm getting stronger every day!

12/6—217.8—Huh.

12/7—217—I'm all over the place! That's so TOM!

12/8—214.2—I like that better. This is a new low. I'm closing in on 40 pounds lost.

12/9—215—Always have to bounce around for a while after I hit a new low.

12/10—216.4—I made many bad choices yesterday. Not an astonishing amount over calories, but enough that when coupled with a salt fandango is going to show up for a day or two. I also have a cold, which is making me really grumpy. Bah.

12/11—216.4—The cold may be getting a bit better. I exercised a lot yesterday and ate a lot, too.

12/12—216.8—Exercised a ton, ate much less, but had a dish that I think was 50% salt. (It was delicious!)

12/13—217—Some digestive funkiness going on. A ton of exercise: cardio, flex, and strength. Good eating again.

@puttyputty Don't you love that this thread helps us understand that fluctuations are just part of the process? Congrats on your ongoing progress and you will be back to that new low in a blinkity-blink

Absolutely! I find the data fascinating. It's fun to me to step on the scale right before bed and make a prediction for where I'll be in the morning. I'm getting pretty good!

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 -.2
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

Round 61 – 160.8 Again, goal this round: under 160

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.
12/07 – 162.2 – Well now see the bump up and yesterday was not good either. Too much chocolate. Signed up for Shrink Yourself when it was on Black Friday sale (annoyed that it went even cheaper after B. Friday). Starting to use their “pause a moment and think” when I feel like snacking. The think part is admitting that this is emotional eating, why am I really doing this, what can I do to address the problem/stress that would work better than eating. If I can just do that I’m OK. So my goal for today to get out of the mini-binge hole is to “pause & think.”
12/08 – 162 – Good day yesterday, concert tonight; leave home at 4:30 and back around 9:30ish so will be a challenge for meals. Guess I should take a good snack and have something healthy when I get home. After all the organizing stuff we will likely be sitting around for 45 min. but not enough time to make it worth going home.
12/09 - 162
12/10 – 161.6 Managed to get through tea & treats times on Sat and Sun with moderation. The food on Sunday was amazing – provided by a lady who is opening a new bakery. Good thing I got there late, really just to pick up my husband, so only had a cookie, a pastry and fruit. Not a great day overall though as I had no proper supper just a lot of snacks which always adds up to more calories in the end.
12/11
12/12 – 160.8- Hit with the cold/flu Monday night so just dragged around yesterday and slept alot. Today feel like I can do something if I take it slow although still have sore throat/coughing. Supposed to have another concert tonight but I think they will be better without me – can barely talk. It was good for the weight though

I managed to keep food down but just ate very small portions yesterday.
12/13 – 160.2 – Coughing away but feeling OK. Have a very relaxed Christmas this year, likely just me and hubby, and am so ok with that. We saw all our kids/grandkids during the summer for longer visits and now are starting on getting the house ready to sell so that we can move closer to them. An exciting and scary project. Maybe I should think of it as a weight loss journey for my house, ha, ha!

SW: 98.7KG
UGW: 80KG

Rd60 SW: 98.7KG EW: 95.5KG (-3.2KG)

This is my second round, very excited! My main goal for this round is to just not put weight on. December is a huge month of celebrations in Australia with Summer and Christmas but I'm going to try and stay focused during the many festivities coming up over the next 10 days!!

Update: have been MIA the last few days not logging my entries due to a mix of travel, not being able to weigh in and knowing I wouldn't like the results if I could. My whole thing is about accountability, this isn't good enough, I need to do better!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/04 - 95.7kg - was a little relaxed today and it shows unfortunately
12/05 - DNW
12/06 - 97.1kg - to be expected has been a very festive week, hopefully can get back on track over the next few days
12/07 - DNW
12/08 - 95.6kg - very proud of my food and exercise efforts today, really took it to the next level!! Suspect I may be a little dehydrated though
12/09 - 95kg - another good day, did struggle with some cravings though
12/10 - 94.7kg - just waiting for that dreaded platuea, will try introducing some new exercise routines to hold it off
12/11 - 94.2kg - surprised with the result, total calories were down but I did eat a lot of bread. Still need more water!!
12/12 - 94.1kg - really struggled with energy levels today had to up the protein, drank lots of water tho!!
12/13 - 93.8kg - food and exercise good although still not feeling great physically. Hoping it's just my body resisting the positive change and I can push through.

2nd Round complete and feeling really proud of myself!! This round was much harder than the first especially staying focused while life kept getting in the way!

Rd61 SW: 95.5KG EW: 93.8KG (-1.7KG)

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 61
