12/24 – 135 - 1674
I confess, I've gone crazier with baked goods this Christmas than I have since I started this journey 4 years ago. And that's ok, and I'll let myself eat today and tomorrow. But then I'm getting back on track with another elimination diet round. Although I didn't think the elimination diet I followed last fall made much difference, my pain has increased since I started this food free-for-all for the holidays, and that tells me that food is a factor. I'm considering the past month a reset. Not to re-lose the extra 5 pounds and get healthy. But merry Christmas Eve, those who celebrate, and happy everything to everyone else!
12/25 – 135 - 1717
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate the holiday, and may the spirit of this season of holidays touch us all.
12/26 – 135 - 1791
Happy Boxing Day! Also "get closer to on track" day for me. It won't be perfect as we're going out to lunch and I do plan to have one more piece of the mince pie I baked and maybe a piece or two of brown-sugar fudge, but my big fat sugar fest (very unusual for me, even at holidays - don't know what got into me this year!) is over. Also heading for the Y this morning for a walk and I have a session tomorrow with a trainer to work out a work out that won't hurt my inflamed joints. I hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday, whether celebrating Christmas or just life.
12/27 – 136 - 1824
Yikes! Some is water since we went to Bob Evans for lunch yesterday, but still, YIKES! I'm awake now, cutting the desserts, and planning to re-start the anti-inflammatory routine this weekend. My new goal for 2019 is 125 pounds - so a pound a month will do it. I've set up 3 coaching appointments at the Y to create some outside accountability and am ordering some cold-weather hiking clothes so I can comfortably get my butt outside, cold or not. (8 years living on the southern NC coast has made me a cold weather weenie!) Onward!
12/28 – 136 - 1892
I had an orientation session at the Y yesterday so I have no more excuse not to get back to weight training, and my fist coaching session is next week. I felt really good yesterday afternoon and evening after even the short session + short time on stationary bike, so I'm looking forward to getting back at it! And I'm going to make a supreme effort to get my butt out of bed early to swim laps when the pool is vewy, vewy quiet, if my shoulder pain allows. Now to cut back on calories, but that shouldn't be hard since all the goodies are gone now but for one small piece of mince pie with my name on it.
Back to fish and veggies and fruit and whole grains.... I find it important to start my re-starts before Jan. 1 so I'm already rolling. Anyone else feel that way? (Recognizing that most of you didn't go quite so crazy this round and last!)
12/29 – 136.2 - 1919
My calories were lower yesterday, but based on my excessive 10-day average cals, the weight gain makes sense and I'm ok with this. All the goodies are gone now, and I've been sticking to my gym plan - yesterday I walked the track and did 30 min on the bike. Plan to do the same today + weights. And stick to my food plan!
12/30 – 136.8 - 2067
Eeeek! But those averages tell the tale, and I did have some garlic cheese bread and some cookies yesterday. On the plus side, I went to the Y to walk and do weights. And both the goodies and the exercise could add water weight, although I can't use that excuse much longer. The big lesson (and probably the worst thing about my backsliding) is that I've been craving foods I haven't cared about for almost 4 years, so I need to clean them out of my body and mind. Lesson learned!
12/31 – 137 - 2105
Still going the wrong way, but it's okay, and I'll be back on track next round. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! Have a safe and lovely New Year's Eve!

Round 63 - my 6th round
Female - 58 - 5'7"
OSW: 271.8 (Oct 9/18)
2019 GW: 199
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)
End R62: 254.8 (+2.8)
Goal for this round is to maintain. If I lose, it'll be a Christmas miracle.
12/23 - 254.8 - End weight of R62. Start weight for R63.
12/24 - 255.6
12/25 - 255.6 - I weighed in 2 hours earlier than I did yesterday morning. I finally had a decent day of eating yesterday and stayed within my new 1650 calorie limit. MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
12/26 - 255.6 - This is a definite win for me. I ate at maintenance yesterday but had a lot of sodium. I'm doing so much better this year than last even though I'm up from my lowest of 252 in R61. Other years, it's nothing for me to pack on 10 pounds during the holidays and stay that way or go even higher and of course, give up trying altogether. This time it will be different.
12/27 - 254.2 - There's my Christmas miracle! Well, maybe it's more like a stocking stuffer but I'll take it!
12/28 - 253.4 - I'm happy about this.
12/29 - 252.6 - I've almost undone the damage. I'm looking for a new low for the end of this round.
12/30 - 252.0 - Back to end weight of R61.
12/31 - 251.2 - A new low for this attempt at weight loss! Now to keep it together tonight. We usually have take-out pizza on NYE but tonight we're eating frozen pizzas (Dr. Oetker) which we both like alright. I'm so happy my BF is supporting me with this.
I'll be having a couple of Crabbies ginger beers, too. I don't drink much anymore so I'm okay to go light on the drinks. The plan is to eat light today to keep the cals. down to make room for tonight.
01/01 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! My goal for 2019 is to get in to ONEderland. Lots of opportunities to get it right.

I hope Everyone has a great finish for 2018!9 -

Day/Weight/Comment
12/24 - 175.4 - 74g carbs, 61g net carbs. Hungrier yesterday, probably because I felt cold. Carbs were: Peanut butter, cauliflower, breading on fish.
12/25 - 174.8 - 82g carbs, 79g net carbs.45g net carbs.
Carbs were: coating on fried chicken, salad, 1.5 TB onion dip, 1oz each pretzels and potato chips.
12/26 - 175.2 -156g carbs, 148g net carbs. Carbs were: A LOT & DELICIOUS! 1 large croissant, 1 TB red raspberry preserves, 1/4 grapefruit, salad, asparagus, sundried tomatoes, 2ozs pretzels, 3 salted caramel chocolate chip cookies.
12/27 - 175.2 - 549g carbs, 45g net carbs. Carbs were: breading on chicken tenders, cabbage, grapefruit, 85% dark chocolate, 1/2 dark choc ghiradelli square.
12/28 - 174 - 42g carbs, 36g net carbs. Carbs were: breading on chicken tenders, sunflower seeds. Out visiting family all day. Not enough water, too much coffee, but not dehydrated.
12/29 - 174.2 - 61g carbs, 44g net carbs. Carbs were: Coating on fried chicken, steamed cauliflower, boiled cabbage. 3TB peanut butter to increase calories, protein and fat, carbs come with it, oh well. Tiny bit of fluid retention. Another one meal day yesterday. Always unintentional, but it comes to that when I'm out all day. Went over calories trying to get my protein up. Both were low on Thursday.
12/30 - 175 - No need for gingerbread now. My spicy, sweet tooth was satisfied by 15, yes FIFTEEN, ginger snaps early in the day and 1/4 loaf of french bread with olive oil and butter ? while I food prepped for my nieces party.
12/31 - 175.8 - *Last night's comment) I don't even know why I tried to log food today. I guess to get an "estimate" of the carb grams. Laughable. There were a LOT of carbs on this charcuterie board and I enjoyed ALL of them + some wine. Carbs and calories were: inestimable 😐 and delicious.😆 Gonna be a rough Monday.
* This morning's comment) A gain of .8 lb not bad considering that I grazed for 4 hrs until my stomach felt full. Maybe 500 calories more than I posted in my food diary. Some things in it, I didn't eat, some things I did eat are not in the diary. I'll call it 2,000 to 2,500 calories. Estimating a few pieces of dark chocolate that I had. Of course more "weight" could show up tomorrow.

12/24 - 183.2 Third day in a row! I had the first of 4 Christmas dinners yesterday. I walked three miles before the dinner and with the exercise calories - I stayed within goal. Normally I eat back less than half but for the holiday I made an exception. Another dinner today, one tomorrow and then one next weekend. I might be able to walk later today but I doubt it. No walk tomorrow either. I'm going to be jumpy by Wednesday.
12/25 - 183.9 Still ok with this. I'm pretty sure it's sodium as I did not go over on calories yesterday. I didn't get a chance to walk and probably won't today either. My family will be here in a few hours and we'll do Christmas with dinner and treats. I have been able to stay out of most of the treats I made, but I made candied pecans for the first time this year and they were VERY hard to stay out of with their cinnamon deliciousness. Merry Christmas everyone!
12/26 - 182.8 WooHoo! I'm sure it's short lived. I cooked and hosted so much yesterday I didn't really eat and I got in a 2 mile walk before everyone got there. I've made it thru the first 3 Christmas dinners without a gain. I have one more on Saturday then I'm done. I got an Apple Watch for Christmas and LOVE IT!
12/27 - No scale I ended up spending the night with a friend so no weigh in. I would guess I'm a little higher today due to a sodium, though I'm under on calories. I got in a good work out at the gym last night. Should walk today but it's going to be rainy and cold. I'm too tired anyway; no more sleepovers on school nights for me.
12/28 - 183.4 Up a little but no biggie. I did end up walking 4 miles yesterday though in two spurts. I had assumed it was going to rain all afternoon/evening so I got in 1.5 miles at lunch. When I got off work I had time for another walk before picking up my BF at the airport. I found another new trail that is awesome and close to the airport. The trail is wooded and peaceful though VERY hilly. If things keep going this way I'll be 182.X by the end of the round. It's going to be challenging to walk outside the next few weeks but I'll figure out something.
12/29 - 183.5 It's the weekend before New Years. I'm going to my last Christmas dinner today. It was rainy and cold yesterday and had a ton of errands to run - so no walk. I hope to get one in today but it doesn't look good. I'm going shopping then the dinner. I'll go to the gym after if there is time but you know I hate treadmills and it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow.
12/30 – 183.1 Made it through all 4 Christmas meals without a gain. That is a Christmas miracle. I'm still hopeful for 182.x before the end of the round. I can't wait to get outside and walk this afternoon. This was a pretty good holiday for me all around. No major family problems, the presents I gave were loved. I got the watch that really helps me count steps. The biggest thing is getting through all these dinners and sweets without eating everything. I ate and felt full but didn't lose my mind. I could have been better - sure but this is something I can keep up.
12/31 – 183.6 I got in four miles yesterday but I did not eat very well. Too much bread, too many sweets, not enough veggies. I was good all thru the Christmas dinners but yesterday I ate back all my exercise calories in a carb frenzy. I never eat back all my calories. Things will be back to normal after today. 182.x seems less likely today but I'll walk and make good food choices.

1/02 -8 -
Start Weight - 191
Goal Weight - 140 - 150
12/24 – 191.8 - totally expected this gain and expect more to come in the next few days so I'm not bummed about it. Husband and I are partied out and will be having a quiet dinner at home tomorrow. I'm making grocery list for the rest of the week and will be heading to the store shortly. Bring on the veggies and lean proteins! Light snow falling and more expected tomorrow. Looks like we'll have a White Christmas.
12/25 – 191.2 – Just a fluke…it will go up soon enough. Yesterday I shopped, came home and roasted parsnips, carrots and sweet potatoes for a breakfast hash for the short work week. I was so busy during the day I really didn’t eat much then overate at dinner time which was a little later than usual. My lunches are already made. Lots of veggies and some rotisserie chicken breast I picked up. No White Christmas. They keep saying snow but it’s mostly just drizzle. Merry Christmas to all!
12/26 – 191.2 - Official weigh-in today...maybe this will hold and I won't see the big gain I was expecting. I'm still down .8 overall since last weigh-in so I'll take it. Finally got our snow. Enough to bring out the plows and make the neighborhood kids happy. They can build snowmen and play with any new snow toys they might have gotten for Christmas. Hope everyone had an enjoyable day yesterday. Healthy eating and water drinking today is the plan.
12/27 – 190.6 - Say WHAT?! Just goes to show...the body is a strange thing. I'm still a little skeptical but putting me so close to the 180's sure is exciting! Ate well yesterday and had lots of water. Still a little over in my calories but I'm dialing things in. Very icy roads this morning. White knuckled it all the way to work even though I'm less than two miles away and have a 4-Wheel drive. Going back to read everyone's progress. Hope you all make it a healthy day.
12/28 – - Ok, I can't remember if my scale said 190.2 or 191.2, lol! I get up at 5am and sometimes my brain is too foggy to comprehend anything.
I ordered a FitBit Versa a few days ago and it came yesterday. Husband and I got it mostly set up last night. Still a few things to learn but I think I'm going to like it. Will weigh tomorrow and hopefully remember what the scale says. 
Pizza night tonight but I've lightened it up...thin crust, ham, pineapple, tomato. Refuse to give up my Friday pizza so I just make adjustments where I can. Congrats to all those whose scale is going in the right direction and hugs to those whose scale is still not playing nice.
12/29 – Solid 190.2 - I'm pretty sure that's what it said yesterday morning. Menu is made for the week, big increase in veggies coming soon. Going to get a load of laundry started then head to the grocery store. FitBit is an eye opener on my steps. I knew I didn't get many steps during the day since our office is so tiny but WOW I need to crank it up! I even walked around our tiny parking lot yesterday and still the number is ridiculously low.
@UTMom81 - don't be discouraged. If you're doing all the right things you will be rewarded! I'm sure your swoosh is right around the corner!!
12/30 – Still 190.2 - scale fluttered at 189.x but settled back. Was Go, Go, Go all day long yesterday. Didn't drink nearly enough water then got "snacky" last night while watching a movie. Had some nuts and a bite size strudel dessert. Most of the Christmas decorations are down, just a few things for me to put away. I like going in to the new year fresh and clean. Need to prep my lunches for the week and make a small (new recipe) meatloaf for dinner tonight. Think I'll use my mini meatloaf pan for single servings. Winter weather moving in. Single digits tonight and tomorrow night. Gonna be bitter cold. Off to read all the posts above mine and hope everyone enjoys their day.
12/31 – STILL 190.2 - at least I'm not gaining
Another busy day in the kitchen yesterday getting things prepped for the week but I did have a victory. First time since logging back in to MFP that I've been below my calorie goal. I was pretty pleased. Pushed our single digits out to tonight and tomorrow. 6 is predicted but I bet we hit 0. Not looking forward to the next few mornings. And just a reminder...with tomorrow being the 1st day of the year it would be an excellent day to take measurements if you haven't done it yet! Off to read the above posts and hope everyone has a great last day of 2018!

12/27: 184 - pleasantly surprised by this (up 1.6) after a full week of parties to celebrate! Back at it today - no more maintenance and back to working out regularly!
12/28: 183.8 heading in the right direction! Off to the gym!
12/29: 184 - frozen pizza, cheese popcorn and wine last night so .2 is not bad
12/30: 184.2 - not so many good choices yesterday. The cheese popcorn is now gone (thank god) and did 50 minutes on the elliptical this morning so hoping for good things to come. Not getting discouraged. Seems like when I start working out consistently (was hit/miss for about 6 weeks) again it takes a few days for the scale to catch up. I got this!
12/31: 182.2 - yes! Finally! Happy New Year! Here’s to all of us hitting our goals for 2019!

Hanging in there. 3/4 of the way with good choices while on vacation. Logging every day. Way better than it has been other years. Putting together my plan more each day. Today I have to figure out the rewards for milestones. Should be saving on the food budget more, so looking forward to some inexpensive rewards. Earrings are always nice for one item. I don't want to travel or have company in until I am done losing, I think. I just want to be focused and no more cooking stuff I don't want to cook for awhile. Sorry if I am grinchy. Happy New Year!7

Diagnosed with Type II - November 8, 2016 A1C = 8.7%, September 21, 2018 A1C = 6.1%
Starting Weight - 209.5lbs

Goals -
* Under 1900 cals each day
* No blood glucose tests above 180
* Run 12/30, 12/31, 1/1, and 1/2 above 2.5 miles
12/30 - 209.5lbs. Not a great day. I have been battling a cold for a week and definitely using "feed a cold" as my mantra. Have not felt like working out. Tracked breakfast, but stopped after that. Blood glucose was terrible all day (multiple >200 readings). Need to get that under control immediately as I have a A1C test on January 10th. Will get it together tomorrow. Can't use colds and holidays as an excuse.

12/24 Monday - 174.8 - late night snacking got me last night. Enjoying the next two days without regret and may or may not log. Aiming to maintain again this round, especially ending the round on the 2nd we usually do a buffett for new years eve so being realistic. I have a crazy headache today so I'm hitting the water hard.
12/25 - DNW
12/26 - Wednesday - 176.6 - No surprise there as I enjoyed yesterday without holding back and without logging. Back at it today though! Lots of water at work - DH made beef stew for lunches this week. And I've got some yummy teriyaki salmon cakes to make for dinner tonight!
12/27 - Thursday - 176.6 - Weird day yesterday; both schedule wise and eating wise. Got into work, then had to leave at noon for our wood delivery. Spent the last 2 hours of daylight stacking. Ate dinner. Still hungry, ate ramen noodles?! Havent done that in a long time - used to live on that junk. Got up early and moved some more wood, probably got about a cord stacked with another cord we have to get done tonight because snow/rain is due in tonight and it will absolutely kill me to see this beautiful kiln dried wood sit in a pile in the rain so we'll be working in the dark tonight. Atleast I'll get my exercise in! Eating what we have available, sandwich for lunch and leftover stew for dinner. Need to get cracking on my water!!!
12/28 - Friday - 174.6 - back in the right direction. Stacking wood for hours helped too, but I was starving and ate all the calories back. Anyway, working from home today and need to grocery shop later so I'll try to find a balance and drink enough water. Got another headache today, they had all but disappeared for a while but seem to be more frequent lately and id like to curtail that, just gotta figure out exactly whats causing them to return again.
12/29 - Saturday - 176.6 - spiraling a bit here. Headache has not gone away despite lots of water and some Tylenol. Hate how much these have come back with a vengeance and its a bit cyclical, feel worse, eat worse, feel worse, struggle to get back to habits because I'm feeling poorly. Ah I went grocery shopping and got way too much junk cause it was easy. Realized that eating crap costs just as much as eating healthy so thats no excuse. We have plans for chinese food and friends coming over for new years eve so I'll unload a lot of these snacks on them too. A regular work schedule makes it so much easier for me to stay on track so I'll get back in the swing soon enough.
12/30 - Sunday - 177.6 - really didnt even want to post this number. Considered calling it a dnw day, or skipping posting all together. But gotta be honest thru the process, thats what its all about. Theres all kinds of reasons for it, salt, not enough water, a little constipated, the list goes on. But just being honest and present is a win for me despite a higher number.
12/31 - Monday - 177.6 - going out for chinese food tonight and having a few friends over for the evening. Focusing on positivity today to ring the new year in on a high note.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/24--215.1 Whoosh! Hopefully it will hold. I'm a federal government who is furloughed, so the unexpected time off right now is pretty sweet. I just need to make sure that I don't derail my eating while I'm off work, I find that I snack a lot when I'm bored. So to give myself something to do I made a list of things that I need to do around the house that I have been putting off and I'm going to work on a couple of the tasks every day while I am off. Went to the gym today for weightlifting, this is not my usual weightlifting day but the gym is closed tomorrow. The sun is out today, which is shocking in the PNW for this time of the year, so assuming the weather holds up I will be taking the dog out for a walk this evening.
12/25--215.1 Weight still holding. Sinus pressure came back yesterday, I think it's from the 3 pieces of milk chocolate I had on Sunday. Going out for Christmas dinner.
12/26--215.6 I usually have a weight jump up to 2 days afterwards, so I won't be surprised if there is another gain tomorrow. Today is closet organizing day, so I'm going to organize all of the closets today. Some closets will definitely be easier than others.
Yoga later tonight.
12/27--214.9 Very surprised to see this number, I was expecting a bump up. Already been to this gym this morning to do some weightlifting. Closets were done yesterday, so the main thing today is cleaning/organizing the laundry/storage room and taking down the Christmas tree. I may also sneak in an afternoon nap.
12/28--214.2 Weighed twice to make sure. I have to stay home to wait for a delivery today, so I will be doing a lot of little things around the house. No working out today, today is a rest day and it's going to be raining all day so no long walk with the dog either.
12/29--214.5 This morning I realized it's been 4 weeks since I've started this elimination diet due to my food allergies and I can't believe how much better my stomach/digestion is feeling since I've started. I can't wait until I can start reintroducing some more foods. The best thing about the elimination is that I have become a lot more aware to how foods affect my digestion. Supposed to be windy and rainy today, so no long walk with the dog today and today is another no gym day so another day to get things done around the house.
12/30--213.6 Weightlifting at gym this morning and then I went for a 4 mile hike with dog...legs are sore so I will definitely be resting for rest of the day. My husband baked some no egg/almond flour chocolate chip cookies yesterday and they were good, even he has had to keep himself from eating them. So far there doesn't seem to be an adverse reaction to the reintroduction of almonds to my diet, but it can take up to 72 hours for any effects, so I will give it a couple of more days to see how it goes.
12/31--214.7 Bounce is definitely from the hike and workout yesterday. I would ususally do a 3 mile walk with the dog today, but after the hike/workout yesterday my muscles are still feeling tired and my dog is tired too. However, today is supposed to be a rare sunny December day in the PNW so I will probably go out for a short walk today and get out and enjoy the sunny weather.

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.

12/24 131.5 Back in ketosis. Going to our daughter’s for crafting with some friends late this morning, need to make or buy something snacky but okay for everyone’s WOE. Our family tradition is pizza on Christmas Eve but I think the pizza places will be closed by the time DSIL gets home from work so we’ll make our own. Right now I need to make an apple pie for a neighbor! See you all tomorrow!
12/25 133.0 DD made chicken pizza crust and our dinner was really great! Then DD, DSIL, DH, and I played canasta. I haven’t played that in well over 50 years. It was fun but I really don’t like playing cards. Merry Christmas everyone!
12/26 132.0 Just the two of us yesterday. Rotisseried a chicken and found a recipe hack for Boston Market butternut squash. Chicken bones simmering overnight in the slow cooker.
12/27 131.5
12/28 130.5 I don’t know if something I ate didn’t agree with me but I’m tired of the bathroom and this isn’t a good way to lose weight. I’m making lasagna for Second Christmas dinner at our daughter and SIL’s tonight.
12/29 131.5 Didn’t post yesterday’s post yesterday. Movie was MEH. Too many sight gags and slap stick-ish. The lasagnas were great. I ate one end slice of French bread and one small bite of sticky bun. I can’t track my no noodle lasagna because I weighed all of the ingredients and Senza lists small, medium and large. Hmm. Ketones 0.2
12/30 131.0 Back in nutritional ketosis.
12/31 131.5 Gal pals are coming to craft and bringing my favorite HEALTHY fast food chicken! Everyone be safe tonight!9 -
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.

Not sure what to expect in this round, being the Holidays, I guess my goal will be not to see anything starting with 18 in the average.
12/24 – 178 - The gathering at our friends house yesterday was fun, there was a nice roast beef with potatoes and asparagus. There were a lot of people and not as much food as there could have been so it was a win for me! Merry Christmas everyone!
12/25 – 179.2
12/26 – 180.8 I’m sure a lot of this was sodium from the chips I ate the last couple of days.
12/27 – 181.4 - ugh!
12/28 – 182.2
12/29 – 181.2 - hopefully I can keep on track today and the next few days will continue to go down.

12/28 - 182.6 Back down to the high range of my 'normal' weight, I'm happy to see this! When I wasn't losing, I tended to stay between 179-182. Now just gotta keep it going!
12/29 - 182.6 Went to Pilates this morning and have a wedding to go to this evening. I don't know what kind of food will be there, but I know there will be delicious cake because I made it

Day/Weight/Comment
12/24 - 241.8...didn't get enough water and had a high sodium supper.
12/25 - 242.8...actually stayed within calories yesterday and got lots of water...weighed earlier than normal though. Oh well. Merry Christmas!!🎄🎄
12/26 - 242.8...considering all I ate yesterday I'm very happy with that...dinner was super yummy and I stuffed myself on it! I got a Fitbit for Christmas and I'm pretty excited. I had a cheap knock off before that worked okay but didn't have heartrate. So far the Fitbit seems to give me few more steps than my other one though.
12/27 - 244.8..I ate a lot of leftovers yesterday and chocolate and popcorn. And I don't think I drank any water 😐 I'm going out of town tomorrow until Sunday evening and I won't be tracking. We have a girls drinks night planned which will involve snacks, and a couple of family dinners to go to. Back on track starting Monday.
12/28 - 244.8
12/29 - no weigh in. Girls night was a lot of laughs, my cheeks were sore by the time I went to bed!
12/30 - no weigh in. Spent most of the day yesterday relaxing and eating, we had some snow so not much else to do. Suppose to stop snowing this morning so hopefully we'll get back home later today. Not looking forward to weighing after this weekend but back on plan starting tomorrow.
12/31 - no weigh in again today. Snow kept us out of town for an extra night. Back home again now though...going to drink lots of water and have a low calorie day..hopefully the scale isn't too hard on me tomorrow (I did stuff myself with junk food for 3 days though 😞)
Happy New Year Everyone!!! 😁

Heaviest Weight: 213
Recent Start Weight: 193 (January 2017)
I’ve been in maintenance for several months until the holidays, content at around 146. I am now OVER the point at which I didn’t want to be again (150), so I’ll be getting back on track to lose back down to at least around 146 or so. May try to go lower in the new year, but we will see. For the immediate future, I just want to get and stay back under 150.
Goal for round 63= 149.x
Day/Weight/Comment
12/24= 150.8 Still a couple more celebrations to survive, then back on track.
12/25= 153 Christmas meals and treats. Going to drink lots of water today.
12/26= 153.4 There you have it. My Christmas high. I’m owning it, realizing there’s lots of work to do in the coming days to not only lose the weight but make it past the sugar/carb cravings that will have increased due to these indulgent last however many days. Good luck in “recovery” friends.
12/27= 151.4 It felt really good yesterday to eat healthy again! Got in a bike ride and a walk on the beach, too. Bought an adorable pair of exercise leggings that I will be a walking in today! :-) (Why does something so silly make me feel good?) LOL
12/28= 152.6 Ate healthy again all day (cooked at home too), but did a lot of exercise, so maybe this is water weight from muscle fatigue. That’s what I’m hoping anyway.
12/29= 152.6 I must admit I’m discouraged by this. I’ve really upped the exercise levels since 12/26 with little positive effect. I’m eating healthy too and staying under my calorie goal (although not by much). I hope I’ll have a swoosh soon. :-(
12/30= 152.6 Still stuck. But did very well yesterday on all counts.
12/31= 151.2 Yay, a bit of a Whoosh!

ROUND 63 (Round 10 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 – 62 resulted in a cumulative loss of 27.2 lb.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/24 149.8 Finally below 150! I failed to attain my goal of less than 150 lb. in the last round, but here it is! Now I have to keep it going down. Yesterday was too busy to take a walk before dark, and walking our roads after dark is too dangerous—wild hogs, drunk drivers, etc. This afternoon should be perfect for a walk. First, I have to pick up a pecan pie (and discipline myself to have one bite each day when my husband has a slice), and I have to trade my nephew’s gift out—I realized I dropped off the bag with new wigs for my mother-in-law instead of his toy. Oops! He’d probably have fun with the wigs, but they’ll look better on her.
12/25 149.6 I plan to eat popcorn today, so I expect a little gain tomorrow. (I hope it’s little.) Thor, my GSD, and I had a nice 4 mile walk with cloudy, but comfortable weather. He’s a great walking companion, and he loves going with me. We saw my husband’s kids Saturday and won’t see mine until this coming Sunday. It seems a little strange not rushing around to make last minute preparations for company, but it’s nice, too. We decided to take it easy today—see a movie, eat out, celebrate each other, and, especially, celebrate the birth or our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Merry Christmas to all!
12/26 148.6 We went to a movie yesterday and enjoyed ourselves. I ate popcorn, too—not a lot, but enough to make me feel like I splurged. I’m happy to see it didn’t show on the scale, at least, not yet. The only open restaurant was a Chinese buffet, but I was able to select keto-friendly foods. I read my fortune, advising me to pay attention to minor details, but I didn’t eat the fortune cookie. 😊 I was disappointed yesterday evening that my husband wasn’t hungry for pecan pie, so I didn’t get my bite. Maybe today…. Nothing but rain/thunderstorms in today’s forecast, so it doesn’t look Thor and I will walk. I think I’ll follow the example of @taxgirl1 and organize my closets. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.
12/27 148.8 Tiny gain, but I had a pretty big loss yesterday, so I won’t complain. Playing cards with my friends today—probably canasta. Unlike my husband, I really enjoy card games and domino games. My singing group took a month off for Thanksgiving/Christmas, so we have to practice early this evening for a concert Sunday evening. There'll be no walk with Thor today. My husband skipped the pecan pie again last night, which meant I skipped my bite, but I ate one of his dark chocolate chip cookies. He’s been eating the cookies I baked and taking some to work. At Christmas, he took leftover pecan pie to a coworker, with my blessing. I must be patient. He’s probably trying to do me a favor. I already put half of the new pecan pie in the freezer to take to my boys on Sunday.
12/28 148.2 No time for a walk yesterday, but I enjoyed my card games with friends, and practice with my Magnolia sisters. I still haven’t had another bite of the pecan pie, but I’m surviving. Last night, the pie baker went to practice with me, and I found out the pecan pies she bakes contain 5 cups of pecans! That’s crazy. No wonder I like them so much!
12/29 148.2 It was chilly out yesterday, but Thor and I walked 4 miles. I had to wear a jacket, ear band, and gloves, but it was enjoyable. The prediction for today and tomorrow is cold and wet, so today’s plan is to stay inside. I went through “shrunken clothing” tubs last night and pulled out items I can wear now. I'm glad I held on to most of my smaller clothes. Today’s a good day to pull more baggy clothes out of the closet to donate.
12/30 148.6 The scale is punishing me for the bite of pecan pie and ½ of an oatmeal cookie I ate yesterday. I plan to have one last bite of that pie today before I hand the rest over to my boys. I’m excited to see all my boys today. I don’t get to see all three at once very often. It’s been years since they’ve all been together with their sister—maybe in the new year. At home, we have leftover spaghetti I made Friday night (I ate mine with spaghetti squash), leftover pork tenderloin I made yesterday, and a pot of keto chili that hasn’t been touched yet that I made last night. I shouldn’t have to cook for a few days. I have leftover roasted parmesan zucchini I cooked last night, too. I thank God we have a good roof over our heads and no shortage of good food. We are blessed.
12/31 147.2 Last night’s veggies must have cleaned me out. This morning, I weighed 3 times, moved the scale, walked away, and weighed 2 more times when I came back—still the same number. Yesterday was enjoyable—lunch with my boys, then a concert performance, followed by dinner with the girls in our group and one husband (not mine). The meals were good, especially my steak last night. I didn’t try to figure calories—just ate carefully. I messed up twice yesterday—forgot to take the pecan pie to lunch and, worse, forgot to tell my oldest son happy birthday. How could I forget? No one else said anything, that I heard, to remind me. I called him on my way to the concert and sang happy birthday to him. For the New Year’s Eve event at a friend’s home this evening, I’ll make a Twice Baked Cauliflower Casserole (for me) and a sweet desert (for my husband). If I remember, I’ll take the rest of the pecan pie! Enjoy your New Year celebrations!

Thank you. Changing my life is my 2019 motto. I have a pic of me in London in front of a piece of the Berlin wall that states “Change Your Life”. Ran across it recently. I’m really shaking it up … announced that I’m retiring Jan 31 at 58 after 30 years with the same company to basically focus on me.
Thank you so very much for sharing the pic and the philosophy. I look forward to sharing this journey with you in 2019.
Congratulations, also, for your decision to retire at the end of January. Our work, our jobs, our professions, they truly become a huge part of who we are and how we identify ourselves so I know this decision is probably bittersweet. But we ARE more than what we do for a living. Our own person, in our own right. I hope you will enjoy decades of fun healthy living without the restraints of work schedules and professional responsibilities. I wish you much happiness, rest & peace.

24th Round for me: Female 65, height 5’
I feel like I’m at the beginning of a new year. Usually we have company or go away but this year decided to do our visiting in spring and fall and stay put for winter - avoiding all the stress of driving in the snow in the mountains. I’m enjoying the peacefulness of it but my mind is jumping ahead to 2019.Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2Goal this round: 159ish.

I’m going to apply to go on a short course in April. That is 13-14 weeks away (about 9 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
12/24 – 160.6 – Bought some borscht yesterday for a quick lunch, seemed way saltier than usual. Also made up some shrimp dip with light cream cheese (we used to always do it at Christmas but even with the light stuff is pretty high calorie) So not a great day yesterday although no LNS. Calories probably at maintenance.
12/25 – 161.2
12/26 – 161. 6 – Found a spiced beef roast deep in the freezer and decided to cook it for Christmas since dh is not a fan of turkey and we’ve had ham several times lately. Put potatoes and veg. in with it for an easy meal and it was amazing. Made angel food cake with lots of whipped cream – only got the small cream so it will soon be gone and not tempting me. Can’t remember when there has been just the two of us for Christmas but it was nice. Buckets of snow today (we live in the snowbelt) so feel for our neighbors’ kids who headed out early this am. At least our roads are just wet so likely only the passes will be nasty.
12/27 – 160.6 – Happy to be back here but let’s not stay! Busy day today, gym tomorrow.
12/28 – 161.4 – When I wrote “Let’s not stay” I wasn’t thinking of going up. Then had three dessert indulgences yesterday and here we are. Back to the gym today so maybe I can wear it off. Have to make cake today for a potluck so must be careful. I’m not much of a cake fan but love the fudge icing on this one.
12/29 – 162.6 – Cake made and actually didn’t have a piece, did sample the boiled icing (like caramel fudge) and also ate some of the candies I bought this week. They looked like a meringue to me but were actually more like white chocolate. I like the taste but they are bad for my body (high fat for starters, but that is not the only thing as equal fat in bacon or even dark chocolate is not as bad). So today am paying – draggy feeling, water retention. Threw the candies out, good thing that they were marked way down so was not also a huge waste of money.
12/30 – 162.4 -Made myself record cals., cake and all (which I don't usually do on Sunday cause my food is more irregular) and it's actually not as bad as I feared. Just have to not throw in the towel and eat other junk.
12/31 – 162.4 – Making myself record even the bad calories yesterday worked – came up at around maintenance. Today off to the gym and no more desserts.
