JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 63

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!
01/01= 151.0
01/02= 152 Well, that is not what I had hoped for this morning! See you in the next round!

Round 63 - my 6th round

Female - 58 - 5'7"
OSW: 271.8 (Oct 9/18)
2019 GW: 199 - ONEderland!
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)
End R63: 251.8 (-3.0)

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 - 253.6 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! No worries about this. I ate more pizza and food overall yesterday than I planned for. Started 2019 doing the New Year's Day Bird Count with other birders so the year is off to a great start for me. I'm feeling really positive and raring to go! I hope EveryOne has a fantastic 2019!
01/02 - 251.8 - This is the 1st time in I can't remember when that I've ended up with a lower weight going in to the new year. I'm very happy about this.

I hope to see you ALL in Round 64!

12/26 - 184.8 Not pretty! I remember when I was stuck at 177; oh how I wish I was still stuck there! It's okay, I'm going to get back on track. We are going to Jamaica in May for our 10th anniversary so I'm using that as motivation!
12/27 - 183.2
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
12/30 – 182.8
12/31 – 183.0 UGH why am I not seeing progress when I've been eating well for 4 whole days???? Just kidding...kind of. Happy New Year!
1/01 – 184.4 What the what!? Honestly surprised by this number. Hopefully I'll have a whoosh soon, my diet and exercise are on track!
1/02 - 182.0 That's more like it! Hopefully I can make it stick. Working on a virtual race this month.

GW maintain or loose some holiday weight
UGW 125

12/24 – no weigh in. Holidays are not fun and food is so tempting

12/25🎄🎅🤶 – 146 yikes!! The Holidays are kicking my butt!!

12/26 – no weigh in. Trying to stay the path but one more dinner tonight might not be helpful.

12/27 – 147.6 😥😥😥 I didn't log for the whole holiday (since the 22nd to be exact) and pretty much ate whatever I wanted. Exercise has consisted of walking alone. But I am also not worried, I am finally back and looking to at least loose whatever holiday weight I have gained and getting back into it for the new year. It shouldn't be too difficult to drop whatever weight I put on over the holidays but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if I still ended with a 1 or 2 pound gain. I enjoyed myself and as long as this spiral didn't continue I will be happy. On a plus note though, I still look amazing!!! Was so shocked to see myself in certain clothing..I felt good and my hubby noticed also..so once again I am happy. Today I started logging again.

12/28 –145 Thank goodness! The downward trend has commenced!!! Lol. After eating whatever I wanted for a week, I am finding getting back into routine slightly harder food wise. I am staying away from sweets but the left over turkey, yams, mashed potatoes and stuffing keep calling my name. To make matters slightly worse, I haven't worked out in a week and I know I need to rebegin before I get used to not...which I don't want at all.,.on the other hand I did walk 19000+ steps yesterday so thankfully I am not completely inactive. Looking to workout this weekend, hopefully if we don't have too many guests so I can at least attempt too and getting myself going before new years eve

12/29 –144.4 Surprised by this, yesterday's activity was low...felt more tired then usual and I think I needed a day off. Tonight has been rough though, started out well enough but between a big family breakfast, the left over treats calling my name and UFC night where my neighbour brought over homemade pizza... I don't know how the weigh in tomorrow will look. Although I thought I could get a workout in today, it didn't happen because of guests that have been over nearly all day..tomorrow no one should be coming by so *fingers crossed* I can get something in. Although yesterday I saw an all time low of 3000 steps, today I am above 13000 so at least not completely inactive. I feel myself slacking a bit but I am planning to change that. I need to be more mindful and begin shooting for 1200 cals. Again and no more unless exercise is high that day

12/30 – no weigh in. Slept in and then my hubby brought me some coffee, which I drank before weighing. Oops. So far I have done just fine today, been eating within my calories and got some laundry done..but activity was low, still didn't exercise. Yikes!! It has been a week and two days since I last worked out with my usual routine, even if I have been walking like a mad women, i really need my routine to feel complete lol. Thinking about some left over turkey for dinner and hoping I don't LNS tonight..which has been an issue last couple of days. *fingers crossed* my weigh isn't too awful in the morning and I can end the year on a pleasing note, even if this Round seems to be a complete wash for me

12/31 – 145 a small blimp, no biggie

01/01 –no weigh in.... I know, accountability is key but new years eve was awful (in a good way...sort of) ate way too much and continued my chocolate eating well into the morning. Finally stopped eating at 2:30...yikes! Managed 17000+ steps and got a 1.5 mile jog in for the first time in weeks, i thought I might as well get started if I wanted to get my but back to routine come, well today lol

01/02 – 146.6 and up we go again. Once again I am ok with it. I have not been a good eater since the 22nd, so how I managed to only gain four pounds in a little over 10 days (and trust me....i was eating so much junk that I began craving fruits and vegetables) is beyond me. Apparently, I am doing something right to only have gained so little in the amount of time I have. Which surprises and impresses me, imagine what it would have been like if I actually stuck the course. Anyway, yesterday I got back on that darn horse as I intended to do and jogged another 1.5 miles and got in a little over 15000+ steps. I drank 1.3 liters of water (I smell a resolution here) and ended the day with a 810 calorie burn and having at a bit over 1200 calories to eat ...it's been a long time since I stuck to 1200. Although I didn't even come close to making my goal (maintain or loose holiday weight) I am ready to begin dropping again..this year will be the year I reach my goal weight and my new lows. (Not to mention tone this Christmas, pudge of a stomach I seemed to have gained as well) the only thing different I think, is although I weigh in the morning, i will probably post at night with the exception of the final day..that way I have a more accurate account of the day, on the day (For some reason I get confused when I talk about the previous day on the following day) ok I am done rambling now lol


I hope everyone had a great New Year and are satisfied and impressed with yourselves as well. Everyone has done fantastic in my opinion and has really stuck it out through the holiday.., you are all inspirational too me. Last year during this time (from Nov-the 1st of January) I gained almost 15 pounds 😣😣😣 yikes.. And they say that during the holidays most people will gain anywhere from 6-10 pounds...so if you are apart of the minority that managed a 1-2 pound gain...or are one of those overachievers who still managed to loose weight (😲😲) pat yourselves on the back...you deserve it!

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.

1/01 - 178 - My new years gift from midnight eating. 😂 It's all good.

1/02 - 177.2 - Carbs = sludge to clog your gut 😣 and retain fluid. NOT green leafy and cruciferous vegetable carbs. Starchy packaged junk carbs!
