JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 62
Replies
-
@Birder165, My exact thought this morning! I think I could definitely be out of the 170's by the end of the year...but there are a couple of things ahead that involve carb foods. A charcuterie board that I will assemble that's partly keto friendly and partly NOT. Of course I'm looking forward to the partly NOT lol. A family game night that my grand nephew has been asking for. His mother is talking a full blown eating party instead of maybe just a casserole and a few snacks and drinks. When she said, Aunt Tish I'm not sure I have enough serving dishes 😦 Maybe I'll make the meat/cheese platter for their game night. She wants my help anyway.6

ROUND 62 (Round 9 for me)
5’5” 66 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 135-140 lb.
Started Keto WOE on September 24th (2018). Still experiencing decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain since the second week of Keto. 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. Some of my NSVs: my wedding band fits, I wear smaller clothing, and my progress has encouraged my husband to try harder to end his cigarette habit.
Rounds 54 – 61 resulted in a cumulative loss of 24 lb.!
This post documents my last weight loss before I let a careless injury derail me: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/701476/joined-mfp-one-year-ago-today-frumpy-to-fit/p1
This is what I’m going for, second time around.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/14 151.6 Starting with a loss—I like that. Until now, I haven’t established a round goal, but, this time, my goal is to get below 150 and never exceed that number again. I changed my final goal weight to a range. In that range, I'll be able to wear my size 6 slacks/jeans again, without looking too skinny. In my younger days, prior to the early 1990's and rampant vanity sizing, a regular size 10 was equivalent to today's size 6. I read that Marilyn Monroe was a size 14, which would probably make her about a size 10 in today's sizing. Of course, I've noticed, in general, that the more expensive the clothing, the more generous the sizing. (My only expensive clothing is used.) Whatever, my goal is getting closer, and I'm excited!
12/15 151.6 I was a little over on calories yesterday, so I’m happy not to see a gain. Today, I’ll try to get in a short walk. The knee is only a little sore now. I’ll find my knee sleeve before I go and keep the walk short. I must be patient and let it heal. Confession: I use my own success post from 2012, linked above, to encourage myself.
12/16 151.6 I think this number will go down tomorrow; we’ll see. Thor and I walked 3 miles yesterday, and it was a beautiful day. I wore my knee sleeve and iced my knee afterward. It feels almost normal today. Thor tried to pull me up a hill so he could chase a deer that ran across the road. I suppose I should be grateful for his assistance. I started the walk singing “Thank You, Lord, for saving my soul” and added a lot of made up verses thanking God for food and shelter, sunshine and rain, family and friends, and on and on. When I ran out of verses, I sang Christmas Carols. Having plenty of breath to sing is one upside of walking slow. 😊
12/17 151.4 Not much of a drop, but better than a gain. Thor and I walked 4 miles today, and I had very slight knee pain and no toe pain. I ordered custom orthotics from the orthopedist today and got a fresh foot wrap to keep me going until it’s ready for me. Today, three people told me to forget about running again, including my husband. The doctor put in his notes that I’m a trouble-maker. Perhaps I should consider their advice, but it would be a shame not to wear out my new running shoes! 🤔
12/18 150.8 I like this. I expected a lower number, but, before I got on the scale, I tried on my wedding band and my fingers are swollen again. I'm not sure why. Today, I'll spend most of my time in front of the computer completing tests I want to pass before tax season begins. I’d rather be outside enjoying the sunshine, but I’m thankful for my seasonal job. I've learned to think of my job as a ministry. I love my clients, and I like helping them get the best outcome on their tax returns and praying with the ones who have pressing needs (financial/family/loss of loved ones/etc.). Last night, I signed up for a cruise in April to celebrate my husband’s birthday and the end of tax season, so extra income is good, too. I see I have five more days to lose another pound and get below 150. I will press on!

Hi My Friends - Returning & New! Have a wonderful Round!
12/14 154.6
12/15 154.8
12/16 155.8
12/17 155.0 Away for the weekend, tracked all, & remained under calories burned. Ate slowly & kept walking. Pleased❣Feels like I’m getting the hang of this.
I decided I REALLY wanted to get to 150. I’m curious what I will look like. This is what’s keeping me going atm.
12/18 153.4 My New Lowest Weight!
BMI of 23.0 ❣️
Wasn’t hungry, so for the first time, I listened to it, rather than forcing myself to eat. Ate ~1400 calories. Burned ~ 2400 calories with YouTube Zumba & Lisa Sansone videos [First time for both] & a 40 minute walk after dinner with DH + 2 hours of Physical Therapy exercises (not counted).
3.4 of 78.3 pounds to go! 😀
95.7% there!
Note to self: your original goal in 3 years was 169, then 155, so don’t feel bad that you’re not 150 by Jan 1. You’ve got this. Keep with the easy, tiny goals!15 -

12/15 174 One thing I love about my job is that we close for an extended Christmas break - I am off now until Jan 2. We are heading to New York for a couple of days. Exercise will be good - lots of walking, but food maybe tricky. DS2 is travelling with us and we need to choose restaurants that work with his sensory issues. Have a great weekend everyone.
12/16 travelling no scale
12/17 travelling no scale
12/18 175.6 not bad - I would have expected more - we enjoyed our trip was great to be able to walk and not get tired or so - we did 12 miles over the two days.

23nd Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Here we are again. Looked over all my rounds and realized that I’ve only lost around 3 lb. total. 😖 I’d lost about 4 lb. on MFP before joining this challenge. I feel like I’ve lost around 10 – which I have. I also gained 7. Have to be less complacent about it. New maxim: each round counts.Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2Round 62 – 160.2 Goal this round: under 159, I think this is doable and I need to challenge myself more.

Round 61 – 160.8, -.6
I’m going to apply to go on a short course in April. That is 12-15 weeks away (about 10 rounds). 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
12/14 – 161.2 – Not sure why I’m up as yesterday was quite good. If I hang in there I think it won’t last. I haven’t gotten to the gym this week though because of this cold, so maybe it’s that and drinking a lot (to keep the coughing under control)
12/15 – 161.2 – Finished supper a little late but resisted the LNS and kept very close to calories.
12/16 – 161.6 – Another good day yesterday, was feeling much better
so even did the vacuuming and mopped the floor. Eventually it must go down.
12/17 – 160.2 – Up to maintenance calories yesterday but payoff from the days before. Back to the gym this morning, yay!
12/18 – 160.2 – Decent day yesterday and was great to get back to the gym. A little sore afterwards but so much more energy today.

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.

12/14 131.5 Oops! My Garmin died and threw my whole day off! I ordered a new one but forgot to come back! I’ll try to catch up tomorrow.
12/15 131.5 I may have mentioned that a friend of ours passed on Monday. This has had a huge impact on Carl which in turn is affecting me. I feel very disorganized this week and am having trouble getting anything accomplished. Carl and I went to a movie (The Mule) and lunch (Cici’s pizza in a bowl) then we came home and he made cookies for Roy’s memorial later this morning.
12/16 131.0 Two texts from DD that DGD#4 is playing back to back softball games starting 10 minutes ago. Sheesh- how about a little notice! 😬

12/18 131.5 Awake at 5:40 so I bit the bullet, got up and dressed and headed to the lab for bloodwork. I really wanted my coffee! I was there 28 minutes before they officially opened and first in line! On one occasion I arrived about 10 minutes before opening and was the 11th in line! An hour and a half later, I was still waiting. Today was so much better!11 -

12/14 - Friday - 174.4 - Salty dinner last night. TOM approaching and I'm ravenous. Just went out and got a sausage egg and cheese mcmuffin against my better judgement - I was already planning on eating a frozen pizza for dinner so it puts me at maintenance. Maybe I'll have half the pizza and a salad instead of the whole thing tonight. But again, so starving today so we will see. I dont know if its the undereating catching up to me or TOM but either way - reminding myself that its ok to follow my hunger cues and its not always going to be perfect choices. Remember what over restricting brings? Yeah...binging, well this wasnt a binge just a genuine starving moment and I knew the tiny leftovers lunch I packed was not going to cut it. But I will drink lots of water today so I'm not totally sodium bloated for dress try ons tomorrow. Aiming to maintain last rounds loss since it was a big one and TOM usually spikes the weight.
12/15 - Saturday - 175.0
12/16 - Sunday - 175.4
12/17 - Monday - 175.0 - Hah, I make a commitment to kiss the 170's goodbye and then I have an off the rails weekend, womp womp. It'll probably catch up to me tomorrow - and TOM is due to arrive too so that was half the battle with cravings I gave into this weekend, pasta mostly. I did have a wonderful day with my mom Saturday and I found THE DRESS! But we also sampled many cupcakes and ate out afterward...But I was back on plan this morning and I'm moving on from all the crap I ate this weekend. I need to plan the next few days food wise. Lots of food in the house just need to prepare it! Managing stress as best I can this week too but as you all know that is much easier said than done!
12/18 -175.8 - Ate lunch out yesterday, insatiable at lunch today, leftover pasta and chicken. Also craving lots of sweets but managing that one okay. Haven't logged my food for a few days so no more excuses today! Trying to be kind to myself. Making steak burrito bowls for dinner and extra for lunches tomorrow. Need to keep hitting the water hard today as I'm feeling dehydrated too. Just. keep. swimming.

OK. I wasn't expecting this. But this was the first time I drank 2.1 liters of water in a day, maybe it's about that. My dietitian said that I need to drink 3 liters of waters, but it's really hard for me. Whatever, yesterday was the first day of my new diet and it was good. I didn't feel hungry until night. I'm still highly motivated.
I bought two bottles that both hold a liter. If I have it in my hand, it is easy to drink one over the course of an hour. I can drink two liters easily. That third one? I use tricks...my favorite is a half and half combination of lemon flavored vitamin water and Pellegrino.3 -

Round 59: -1.8 (14.1%)
Round 60: -7.0 (12.1%)
Round 61: +8.4 (14.1%)
Round 62 Starting Weight: 187.0 (Huge gain last day of Rd. 61 due to sodium, so it will probably skew the results)
Day/Weight/Comment
12/14 - 182.4- As expected, dropped a bunch of the water weight from the high sodium day at the end of Round 61. Had a really good day. Got 2 workouts in yesterday (lifting workout with deadlifts, lat pull downs, overhead press, bicep curls and pec flys, then backed that up with 3 miles on the treadmill), as well as hitting my macros and calories. Drank about 140 oz. of water. Squat day today.
12/15 - 181.2 - Solid deficit with a lift and a good run in for workout.
12/16 - 181.8 - Got a good HIIT workout and abs in yesterday. Ate at a solid deficit and felt good throughout the day.
12/17 - 182.2 - Ate out all day and had a Italian family dinner that could have derailed me, but had a solid day food wise still. Rest day as far as workouts. Weight is starting to settle in and now will work from here to continue to cut body fat.
12/18 - 181.6 - Good solid day yesterday. Made really good food choices, hit my macros and had a nice deficit. Crushed my workout (Deadlifts, etc.). Finished off the workout with a little mile run for some calorie burn. The creatine really seems to be helping my workouts.

Lost 4.4lbs last round
Would love another 2.5 or so this time.
Yesterday's weight: 172.2
Day/Weight/Comment
12/14: 171 I want to go to the gym pretty bad, but I'm a sicky.
12/15: 171.2 I let myself eat too many chips yesterday
Best believe I ran my butt off today though.
12/16: 170.2 SO CLOSE TO THE 160s! Normal weight for my height starts at 168, so I'm pumped. Hopefully this means I'll hit that NY goal
Can't lie, considered going to the gym BEFORE the weigh in, but I never do that so it feels like cheating.
12/17: 170.2 I've got some sorta bug that just won't go away. Happy no-gym Monday
12/18: 170.6 Well that's annoying.

@aFit50 not this time. This time I was much stricter about logging and I stayed under my sodium and drink all my water. I have not been doing all of those things consistently so I’m sure that’s why it dropped. But I have definitely changed at my exercise in the past and saw a change. My body just gets used to doing the same thing all the time and changing it up works for me.6

12/14: 172.4 Eating out tonight and heading into the weekend. I want to make good choices. I have got to make good choices. I WILL make good choices.
12/15: 172.6. Win! Went out to eat last night. I chose the southwest salad. Even though I ordered half size, the salad was HUGE (at least a half head of lettuce). Soooo delicious. Lots of add ons but not a lot of anything. Dressing on the side. I've got a plan for today so I'm feeling good about the weekend and not having a "weekend gain" that I have to work on losing next week.
12/16: 172.0 Halfway through the weekend. It's looking good. Finish Christmas shopping today and do some gift wrapping. I have a good lunch planned and will get in some time on the treadmill. I'm hoping to keep up the downward trend so that next weekend when the family is here for lots of food and fun, I will be motivated to eat sensibly and not undo all my hard work.
12/17: 173.0 Typical weekend but not as bad. I should have a good day today and be back on track tomorrow.
12/18: 171.0 I had such a good time last evening. I got to spend some time with a 2 yr old little boy who played and laughed and just totally enchanted me. I do not have any grandchildren (yet) and have very little contact with very young children. Between work and this activity, no time to eat. Not the best way to lose weight but doesn't hurt once in a while. It was probably mostly water weight but looks good on the scales. We will see what tomorrow brings but motivated to stick with my plan today.

During December I just want to make it out of the month alive and without too much damage. I have slowly inched myself into the 180’s. I want to get back into the 170’s and maintain (at the very minimum). I want to increase my exercising now that my livingroom renovation is complete. I want to get all my steps in and incorporate more & more of the great ideas you all have shared. My personal goals are the greatest presents that I can give to myself during this most Holy month of celebrations. This is my way of saying Merry Christmas to me. Your ideas and comments are the greatest presents that I could ever receive from all of you. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to us all!
MY STATS:
Highest weight ever (2014/2015): 253
Original starting weight for this current journey : (1-11-2018) 235.0

I understand about "no time to eat," and, sometimes, I just get busy and forget. If I don't reach my calorie goal every day, I tell myself it's IF (intermittent fasting), a popular term I see a lot lately. If it happened every day, that might be a problem, but two or three times a week seems to be okay and may even be helpful.1 -
SW: 85kg
CW: 75.1kg
UGW: 55kg
Day/Weight/Comment
12/14 - 75.1kg, only 200g up from yesterday. Okay with this, I overate a bit (haven’t been grocery shopping but I did today!!!). Been really slack with water as well
12/15 - no weigh-in
12/16 - no weigh-in ????? Totally forgot both days?!
12/17 - 75.8kg, under cals, super bloated though, and probably too much sodium
12/18 - 74.8kg, finally not so bloated!!!! I feel really good and I’m sticking to my cals again
12/19 - 74.7kg, can’t complain but I wish it was more! I’ve been sticking to under 1200 calories, but definitely still not enough water
