14/12 Yesterday was about maintenance intake wise, ate out for dinner unexpectedly. Not a big deal, been under my calories a fair bit during the week. It's out Christmas Jumper day for charity at work with a buffet, tonight is our Christmas lights row and party with my rowing club so it's pretty much a write off in term of calories today, I'll be mindful but not going to worry as I am going sober for charity from Monday so this is my last hurrah!
17/12 Been relatively good over the weekend, a lot of alcohol but calories around my deficit. Weight continues to come off. Goals for today are to do some yoga.
18/12 Not much to say about yesterday had a bit of a bingey evening, probs a tiny tad over maintenance so nothing devestating and expect to see the post-drink water weight hang on a day or two longer.[/b]
19/12 Plodding along, this week will be challenging, Christmas Party tonight
20/12 I have the pre-shark week carb cravings going on so the box of Celebrations at work will probably get me today. Other than that had a reasonable calorie intake yesterday considering I had a 3 course meal for Christmas Party.
21/12 Last day at work before switch to working at home for Christmas, I'll continue to keep checking in when I can and hope everyone has a lovely Christmas.

12/14 feeling hopeful for this round
12/15 today I make my meal plan & activity plan for the week & stick to it
12/16 nice way to start my day
12/17 better than I expected
12/18 goal: no snacks after 7:30 (epic fail)
12/19 wrong way ralph 😲
I’ll be honest- I’m not in 100% yet. I am getting in the habit of weighing & posting each morning. Come Jan 7th I’m in 100%. Until then I’m aware of my eating & activities and posting every day. Just keeping it real.
12/20 not cool. I know I’m not 100% in but my word! I’m not 100% out for Pete’s sake!!!! Ok - that is going to be the highest weight I post.
12/21 Schwew! That was a close one. Woke up early weighed 196.6, back to bed & re-weighed when I got up for the day. 196.0. So I stuck to my yesterday post of “that is going to be the highest weight I post” I’ll take it! So my new R62 goal is to get back to my R62SW

Round 62 - my 5th round
Female - 58 - 5'7"
OSW: 271.8 (Oct 9/18)
UGW: 165.0 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 for this round is to keep my wits about me!
I'd also like to get in to the 240s during this round.
12/13 - 252.0 - End R61 - starting weight for this round.
12/14 - 253.4 - Nothing to worry about. 3168 cals yesterday. I was super hungry all day and gave in to it. For the 3 days before yesterday, my calories averaged 1506/day and that seems to be my "1200". I can't do too many days in a row at that level. I can lose a lot of weight quickly but I get too hungry & tired. That's without even exercising. I should probably aim for at least 1600 - 1700 per day and perhaps that would help me avoid the high calorie days. ***ETA: I just changed my daily goal to 1700. Hopefully that'll help me find a balance.
12/15 - 254.4 - Oops! I seem to sabotage my efforts whenever I get close to a milestone. 4010 calories yesterday!
12/16 - 254.6 - I did okay yesterday (1721) and we went for a nice, long walk but it's going to take a few days to turn around from two very high calorie days. I changed my limit back to 1500 this morning. I have to find those wits!
12/17 - 254.6 - My backsliding all started way back on the 1st Saturday of December when I had a meal out and some cookies & cake afterwards. Then I made some fudge for John to take to work and that I got in to, along with the left over ingredients. It seems I've had a rough ride since.
12/18 - 254.4
12/19 - 254.0 - I'll be happy if I can finish this round at the same weight I started it. Whew!
12/20 - 253.8 - I need to buy some apples to snack on after dinner. Too many nuts & chocolate ... again.
12/21 - 253.0 - I think I'm going to make it!

OK, the self-delusion is over and I'm not going to kid myself into eating more cookies & candies. I've had more the past week than I've had in the past 4 years! OTOH, I am back to regular walking (though not up to my goal time yet - amazing how quickly we get out of shape) and I started walk/run intervals yesterday. So I'm adding exercise minutes to my accountability for this session. I do think some of this extra weight is water, but I don't like the trend, so I've had a stern talk with myself! I'm off to get blood drawn to recheck inflammation levels - I hope they're down more, but in any case I feel quite a bit better other than pain in my shoulders, esp. in the morning.
12/15 - 133.6 - 1568 - 60 min
Time lag from Wed & Thurs excesses, but I ate better yesterday and walked an hour. I also am thrilled that my lab tests show my inflammation is way down from what it was, though still slightly elevated, and I am more determined than ever not to take prednisone long term. So while I will continue to enjoy the season for the next 10 or so days, I'm veering back toward the anti-inflammation/elimination approach to eating that I was on for much of the summer and fall to try to get back in the normal zone. I'm also going to start running intervals again 3 days a week (I haven't for almost a year so I'm really out of shape!) and, if I can haul myself out of bed at 5 am, to swim laps several days a week. Happy weekend, all!
12/16 - 133.4 - 1571 - 30 min
I forgot the Y closes early on Saturdays, so last night I walked around a grocery store for half an hour. Better than nothing!
12/17 - 134 - 1663 - 0
Still within my holiday boundaries, but I don't like the trend. This week I'm baking for a gathering on Thursday and my BD is on Sat, so I'm planning to eat clean and low today through Wed. I've also noticed an uptick in my pain level, and suspect it's related to my much higher-than-normal added sugar intake. I've been on a baking kick - weird for me! - and have started collecting healthier recipes to try. The urge will probably subside after the holidays!
12/18 - 133.4 - 1612 - 30 min
I ate better yesterday - no sweets at all - and I got to the Y for walk/run intervals, although the track was so crowded with slow walkers and little kids that I finally gave up. Don't get me wrong - more power to everyone who gets out there to walk! But walking together and taking up both lanes is a bit much. Anyway, I'll go earlier today! Haven't been able to get myself up to swim at 5:30 when it's 19 degrees out, though - working on it.
I hope everyone who celebrates a holiday this time of year is handling the stresses and the joys of the season well.
12/19 - 133.8 - 1653 - 47 min
Sodium...we went to Fazoli's yesterday for lunch. I also baked an orange-glazed cranberry-pecan loaf, and ate a piece (but no dinner). But I got myself to the gym and am working back up to my old walking levels. Heading back there in an hour or so. More baking today for an event tomorrow, and I'm going to a Contemplative Vespers this evening. I'm not particularly stressed by the holidays as it's just me, DH, and friends, but the service sounds lovely. I hope those of you who are swamped by the season also take time to find quiet times and peace.
12/20 - 134 - 1664 - --
I didn't get to the gym yesterday, but was on my feet a lot so I'll take that. I also didn't drink my usual gallons of water, so I think the uptick may be partially due to that. Since my goal for "the season" has been not to exceed 135, I'm not unhappy with where I am. I'm also very impressed by everyone here who's losing or holding steady! Yay!
12/21 - 134 - 1688 - 60 min
I'm still on a bit of a baking spree - unusual for me - and last night I made buttermilk cornbread from scratch. It was yummy (& high-cal) with veggie chili (low cal). I'm thinking of baking myself a cake tomorrow for my birthday - and by "for myself" does not mean I plan to eat the whole thing!
I've given myself until Dec 26 to get this baking frenzy out of my system, and I plan to be back on a normal healthy track before New Year, and probably try the auto-immune paleo protocol soon after to see if I can kill the rest of this inflammation. I also have a new weight goal for 2019 of 125, but I don't mind if it takes all year to get there. I did get to the gym last night and walked the track for an hour. Have a wonderful holiday weekend, all!

OSW - 213 (highest weight ever 280 but I've had most of that off for more than 15 years but still)
CW - 185.4
RGW - 185
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
12/14 - Traveling no scale. I drove the 4 hours to St. Louis with the boyfriend. Went out for a nice dinner; I think I did well calorie wise. A half salad and half a flat bread - no dessert but 1 vodka cranberry spritzer thingy. First alcohol I have had in over a year (nothing to do with weight I just don't enjoy it that much anymore) got back to the hotel room and crashed. It's amazing to me 30 years ago I could go thru a fifth of whisky in a night and still be partying, now I have one spritzer and I'm knocked out.
12/15 - 186.5 Drove home yesterday. Weighed high due to TOM. It will be gone in the next few days.
12/16 - 184.3 Goodbye extra weight. Walked four miles in the cold sunshine yesterday and will probably do the same thing today though it's slightly colder. Went out with girlfriends last night and was bad. Yep I had a DELICIOUS sandwich but stopped at half. I had set this rounds goal low because I'll be baking later in the week and I'm on vacation. We'll see what I can stick to this round. It's challenging.
12/17 - 184.9 Up a little, it will go back down. I had a wonderful 4.75 mile walk yesterday. I wanted to get 5 in but I was with a partner and she wasn't feeling that last quarter mile. It's all good because I had only expected 4 but it was just so nice that we kept going. Today is the first day of my vacation. I need to finish decorating the house and get in a walk. I sound obsessive about getting in the walks but these outside walks help my mental health more than you can imagine. I was worried I would slow down with the cold and dark but I'm doing ok so far in December. We'll see what January brings. It will start getting lighter earlier but it will be colder.
12/18 - 185 Up again. I'm on stay-cation this week. Yesterday I went to a Vietnamese place for lunch and brought leftovers home for dinner. Stayed under calories but I'm going to assume that weight is a reflection of the sodium. I walked 3 miles yesterday and plan on doing another 3 today. If it's in the 50's in December you HAVE to go outside it's an unwritten law. Tuesday is usually gym day but since it's so nice I think I'll do both
I'm excited because I also have a doctors appointment this afternoon and there is a cool trail near his office. There may be pictures. Stay-cation woo!!!!!!!!!!
12/19 - 184.2 This feels better. All the excess weight from my Vietnamese sodium fest and TOM are gone. I got in a beautiful 2 mile walk yesterday before my doctors appointment. Finding new fun trails is my new favorite thing. I would almost go back to explore more of that today but I really don't have time for the drive and the walk. I did weights after the doctors appointment. I was pretty worn after both of that and did not get as much done around the house as I had planned.
12/20 - 182.2 I have no idea where this came from but I'm not going to complain. I got on the scales a couple of times, moved it thinking somehow it's not level but it still came up with the magical number that puts me over 30 pounds lost! Yesterday I walked 3.2 miles then came home to clean and decorate. Having my niece and her baby over today to finish decorating and do some Christmas baking. Send me "stay out of the dough" vibes please.
12/21 - 183.2 Down two pounds yesterday, up a pound today. I felt yesterday was an anomaly and today seems a bit more reasonable. I did ok with cooking yesterday. One haystack, one chocolate marshmallow candy, and 2 choc chip cookies. Not exactly "clean" but I didn't eat one cookie from every batch which I have done in the past . I still need to make 2 sugar cookies and gumdrop cookies.

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.
12/19: 170.8 I was afraid this would be up due to Mr. Hershey coming to visit. Love his kisses. I'm going to have to try to limit his love for me and my love for him, lol.
12/20: 171.0 I knew when I was snacking on those honey mustard pretzel nuggets last night, the salt would get me. Will drink more water today.
12/21: 172.4 No excuses. Just gave in and ate a lot of junk. Christmas breakfast party this morning and then two days before big family lunch. I would really like to have a small loss for this round.

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 - Tuesday - 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.
12/19 - Wednesday - 175.2 - Tried to stop at the lab today to have some blood drawn but it was too busy so I just headed to work. But it was a fasting test so I'm just getting around to eating now. Got some sad news and I'm frustrated about some other work related things so just trying to keep my head up. I did make extra dinner for lunches today, and there was no chocolate left in the house for me to binge on, so it was a good evening eating wise. Dinner for tonight will either be shepherds pie or chicken teriyaki with asian salad. I want the salad - but I wont have lunches for Thursday. Actually, I could split up the last burrito bowl into two smaller servings and add a frozen burrito to both. Okay so salad it is!
12/20 - Thursday - 174.4 - Stuck to the plan and had salad last night. Lunch is pretty salty today since it includes canned chili but its what I got and I'm considering it to be better than the fast food I instinctively want because I'm solo at work today and when no one is there to "watch me" I'm totally guilty of wanting to slip back into old habits. I grabbed a wake up wrap for breakfast to satisfy the fast food craving for only 150 calories instead of something at lunch that would be closer to 1500! Shepherds pie is on the menu for dinner, but I'm going to make it as a half batch because I don't need leftovers for lunch tomorrow (company christmas party) and its a dish I tend to over eat given the chance.
12/21 - 173.6 - Yes to this number! TOM arrived today and I'm in a lot of pain. Today is company christmas party with Italian food - didnt make alternate plans for lunch so it is what it is. I'm going over my moms to avoid a party at my house tonight (its DH's brothers birthday party) and we already planned to indulge. So I really have no idea if I'll finish this round in maintenance, but some relaxing is taking precedent tonight, but I WILL log all my food instead of going completely blind like last week.

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!

12/17 - 180.4
12/18 - 180.4 Holding steady. Doing the wrap-a-thon dance and as much cardio as I can possibly fit in.
12/19 - 181.0 Yikes…Nothing or no one to blame but myself. Traveling today and tomorrow, but not overnight trips so I will be able to weigh but it will not likely be pretty. Hope everyone has a wonderful hump day!
12/20 - 181.6 More travel today for Dr. appointment for head injections (hair loss). More shopping, more restaurants. I hope to turn the word “more” into the word “less” soon. However, “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”.
12/21 - 182.2 Thankfully I will be home today doing the wrap-a-thon again. Back at home in my “safe place” I will be staying on point with my food choices and drinking lots of water and parsley tea to counteract the bloat. Tomorrow will be a better weight. I know what I need to do today. I hate posting these weights, but I’m logging & staying accountable and getting as much cardio in as I possibly can in light of things. Have a great weekend everyone!

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 62
36y/ 173cm or 5'8"
OSW: 74kg May 2018 (163lbs)
Goal for end of 2018: below 70kg (68ish)
UGW: updated 67-63kg (148-139lbs) end of spring 2019I just realised that R61 was my last full round for the year as I'll be travelling for most of the rest of it. I am considering taking my body scales and/or my yoga mat, depends on my packing skills. The first trip next week is with work here, 3 meals catered for in a lodge, so i'll have to make the best choices available to me, but won't be logging as there is no point with it being all estimates. And then after only one night back, the second trip is for another job in Jordan over xmas followed by a few days on a tourist tour with my mom who will come and join me. I'll be staying in a hotel (and a tent one night), so again no way of logging accurately. I think i might just keep a list of what i've put in my mouth to keep some sort of overview.
R61 end weight: 69.6kg
Fri 12/14 - 70.4kg
Yesterday went ok during the day, but work stress and feeling a little home sick drove me to wine in the evening, after I've done a bit of body weights. And wine lead to crisps, which were incredibly salty, and also chocolate and cookies. Not surprisingly, I skipped Yoga this morning - I should just admit that I only do every other day. Then, as if to confirm that I won't be logging properly for the weekend, the batteries on my food scale seem to be dead. If I had my standard breakfast, I could have estimated, but in anticipation of going away, i'm using up what's left in the fridge/cupboard. Anyway, I know i'll come back to the routine in January, for now i'll focus on not giving up completely.
Sat 12/15 - 70.4kg this is surprising given yesterday, but I have been on the treadmill.
Had a night out after dinner at home. But obviously had snacks when I got home.
I'm really missing my actual home (London) this week, my husband, my cats. There are lots of lovely people here to hang out and have fun with. But I feel quite lonely and also guilty that I'm not with my husband while he's not feeling great. I know food isn' t going to resolve any of these feelings, but it's sure easier to be sad and full than sad and hungry...
Sun 12/16 - 70.6kg
Burger lunch on Sat, paella on Sun, snacks in the eve.
Mon 12/17 - 71.3kg - I was shocked, but then TOM arrived in the eve almost a week earlier than I thought, which probably explains half of this gain and my snack attacks. The other half is my week's food choices showing.
Food was probably around maintenance all buffett.
Tue 12/18 - Out of town
Food prob slightly above maintenance - passport issues are causing me to stress eat at the buffets. Ran 5km in the morning with some of my colleagues which was nice.
Wed 12/19 - Out of town
Weighed during a brief stop over at home, 71.4kg, i'll put down to TOM and travel belly.
Good nes is that I got the right stamp in my passport this morning, so relieved.
I'm slowly catching up on posts, the agenda during the work trip is packed 6am-8pm and internet is weak...
Thu 12/20 - Out of town
Fri 12/21 - 71.3kg when I got home, after breakfast.
Food-wise, the week of not being able to control any ingredients was interesting. I realise I could have eaten a lot less, but buffetts are tricky. I ate fruit and salad with each meal, but also cake for desserts. I definitely should have eaten less overall. I did keep track to some extent. The place we stayed at had very tasty scones at tea time each day, which I couldn't resist.
Now i'm home for 36 hours and I am not even going to try stop the comfort eating, i'm exhausted, need to do some work, pack, catch up with my husband and chill.
Back to normal in the new year! Have a happy xmas/holiday to those who celebrate and happy new year. I'll be back in R64.
Sat 12/22 - Flight in the eve

12/16 187.3, The blowout shows up on the scale. Sigh.
12/17 185.4, swam and steps yesterday but didn’t count calories
12/18 184.7, lots of steps, stayed in calories. Lesson learned, big cheat weekends take an entire week to recover. Just not worth it.
12/19 184.7 Still plugging away. At least it isn’t a gain!
12/20 183.7 Woo hoo!
12/21 183.6 I’m going to really buckle down on diet these last two days to try to at least get within sight of my goal. Going to a basketball game tonight. While the fam is planning to eat dinner there, I think I’ll prefeed and abstain.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/14 - 240.0...went out to a movie for the first time in a while last night, had lots of popcorn and chocolate.
12/15 - No weigh in...been up since 2:30 with my son (he just didn't feel like sleeping). Had a bad eating day yesterday, a lot of LNS and a couple of adult beverages. My son has breakfast with Santa and 2 birthday parties this weekend so probably not going to be eating the best. I WILL get myself back on track by Monday, still want to be in the 230's by the end of the year.
12/16 - didn't weigh
12/17 - no weigh in...another morning of son waking super early. The past week has been bad for food, definitely have gained a few more pounds since last weighing. Back on track today..have the gym planned for tonight..haven't been in months.
12/18 - 243.4...not happy with myself for all this crappy eating. Did not get back on track yesterday at all and still didn't get to the gym 🙁 son was up most of the night coughing.
12/19 - no weigh in, just completely forgot to do it this morning, my son slept in until 6:30 this morning and I think it threw me off lol. Had another bad day food wise yesterday. Going to water aerobics this morning though and going to try to get back on track.
12/20 - no weigh in. Went to water aerobics yesterday and did a fair amount of walking (shopping) but had Chinese for supper and had potato skins and a very large frozen white Russian at 9:30pm! We went to go bowling but the place was packed, not one parking spot, so we went to the restaurant for a drink instead..and I course we couldn't have it without appetizers. Also very little water yesterday.
12/21 - I weighed this morning but I'm not adding it 🙁 I'm sick of myself at this point, I'm just using Christmas as a excuse to eat everything in sight (some things I don't even enjoy) and I'm undoing all of my hard work. Not anymore though, today is the end of that..back in a good mind set and staying on track. Probably not going to happen, but would still like to be in the 230's by the end of the year.
