Day/Weight/Comment
01/03--213.4 Went to the gym to lift weights this morning and while I know a lot more people go to the gym at the start of the year I was still surprised that at 5 am there were so many more people than usual. It's rainy and windy today, so I will probably just do some work arond the house as I continue to wait for the shutdown to end.
01/04--215.3 Bump in weight due to extra water retention and extra sodium from going out to eat last night, it was a last minute decision. Definitely feeling heavy this morning. Today I have to run around and do some errands and do some cleaning to get ready for tomorrow when the in-laws come by to celebrate my husbands' and my brother-in-laws' birthdays. Plan today is to make sure I get my water in.
01/05--216.2 Normal for me to have a second day bump in weight after eating out. Feeling very heavy this morning, I'm sure I ate something that I was allergic to when I went out to eat 2 days ago. Going out for a birthday lunch today, so I have to be more conscious of what I am eating today. If weather holds up I will take dog for a wallk after the birthday festivities today.

January Goals - Limit night time snacking to one snack only (normal is 3+ snacks) and workout before work minimum 3 times a week (My goals for the year are to focus on breaking small bad habits I have - in the long run, this will impact the scale........but for now......I just need to focus on each bad habit individually. I can't do the "all or nothing" game anymore).9 -

25th 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, -.2Round 64 – 161.6
Round 40 – on holidays, gain +1.6
Round 41 – SW 164.4, -2
Round 42 - SW: 162.6, -.6
Round 43 – SW 162, -.4
Round 44 – SW 161.6, -1.6
Round 45 – SW 160.8, +1
Round 46 – SW 161.8, +.6
Round 47 – SW 162.4, -2.2
Round 48 – SW 160.2, missed most of this round and Round 49 as I was away without computer or scale.
Round 50 – SW 160.2, -.8
Round 51 – SW 160.8 -1
Round 52 – on holidays, no scale
Round 53 – SW 159.8, -1.4
Round 54 – SW 158.4, +.6
Round 55 – SW 159.4, +2.4
Round 56 – SW 161.9, -.3
Round 57 – SW 161.6, No change
Round 58 – SW 161.6, -.4
Round 59 – SW 161.2, +.4
Round 60 – SW 161.6, -.8
Round 61 – 160.8, -.6
Round 62 – 160.2, +.4
Round 63 - 160.6, +1.2
Goal this round: to at least see some 159s. I was down here in Oct. and having so much trouble getting back there. Right now even ½ lb. per round would seem great. My short term goal is to be down at least 6 lb. by the end of March. That is just .7/Round but for me would be great progress.
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 – 162.2 - Did not post as I had not got around to setting up this Round. I did weigh though.
01/04 – 163.6 – Yesterday started out great but ended in disaster with RJ’s chocolate licorice twists. Thurs. I have knitting group in the morning which is always fun but get groceries in the afternoon which I never feel like doing … and then I buy something for a treat “now & then” only it often ends up being now. The other part of the disaster was that I had determined to do some planning, but I don’t feel like doing it. Well, I’m going to start on it today anyhow, whether my childish self feels like it or not.
01/05 – 164.4 – Scale was determined to say this although it seems odd. Thursday I was probably 450 calories over but the rest of the week has been good. No gym yesterday but calories were good. Today I have no car but doing exercises at home and also have to clean house so a more active day.

SW 373.4 – Round 64 (1/3/19)
GW 362 – Jan 31st
GW 299 – End of 2019 (6.2)
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 373.4 - on WW a healthy day is a blue dot day. So far I am having a blue dot day
And it is looking like I will get to my 7000 step goal today also.
01/04 371 – yesterday was not a blue dot day but I made some good choices -- not a lot of processed foods, and I made my 7000 step goal. I was up yesterday because of salt eaten the previous day, so I attribute the 2 pound loss to water I drank to rid my body of the salt. Either way I will take it Since I always 
seeing the scale going in the right direction!
01/05 372.6 – yesterday not good. Got in a small 15 min walk but only 6000 steps and overate. Today is another day. Weekends not good for me. Today I have a funeral, eating out with a cousin from FL. But I have a plan. I weigh in at WW Monday so I need to lose at least a pound by Monday

@wellnfree, @quiltingjaine, @saleewins, @Astrue, @FarmerCarla Thanks for your support regarding my friend Joey's attempt to sabotage. The great thing about this challenge is that we can look to eachother not just for guidance regarding our physical health, but for support for our mental & emotional health as well. It is all tied in together after all! I asked Joey to go down to the school yesterday about school closing time so we could get in before they locked up. Together we walked 2 miles (he did whine all the way). It's always nice to have a walking partner, but I also wanted him to see my commitment and how hard I am willing to work at this. The only thing I mentioned was that I planned on having my "cheat" moments when I'm traveling (I do enough of that!) but not at home or locally. Then I just let the walk speak for itself. Thanks again for cheering me on. I feel that much more resolve today!8

Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 185.5 Stuck in the depths of a living hell with my scale, however, I successfully stayed on course with my diet and exercise plan. I am THRILLED to report that my son joined me in the aerobic dancing and agreed to follow his special diet plan WITHOUT COMPLAINT. Because of his eating disorders (due to the Autism) I felt truly inspired. If he can do this so gracefully, so can I. And so I succeeded in all my efforts. I just wish the scale would budge. Metimucil tonight for sure (Intermittent Fasting today). I am going to skip pool tonight. It is a potluck feast and I’ve had enough of those in December to stuff a pig : ) I need this good jumpstart to get things going. I also need to return the gesture and be the inspiration that my son deserves. Good luck everyone on #64.
01/04 185.4 It’s a small change, but a change nonetheless. Last night I invited my old friend Joey over to watch Christmas movies. I really wanted to enjoy the last of the twinkling Christmas Tree and to show myself that life is good even when I cannot indulge or overeat. He constantly claims to be “on a diet” and is using the calorie counting method only. He asked me if he could bring icecream or popcorn for a snack during the movie. I told him no. Please eat before he comes as I am restarting my plan, am struggling with willpower and need to stay on track to get my body jumpstarted. He showed up with a share-sized bag of some type of chips (looked like maybe a flavored Doritos ?) and soda pop. I told him that if he wanted to go home and finish eating before he comes (like I asked) to go ahead, he could come back in awhile. Otherwise, I asked him to put his food in the car. I told him he could keep the soda if necessary or I had water and some sugar free options available. He kept the soda. I was a little ticked about the whole thing and was brutally honest with him. I’m not sure if it was sabotage, selfishness or stupididy, but I know I was very clear that I didn’t want to have any snacking while I’m still very fragile. It was only 2 hours and I knew he could have came pre-fed. I had already explained to him about how eating carbs so consistently through the holidays put me in a state of cravings, weakness for carbs etc. I spent the evening trying to be nice in spite of my feelings. While he sipped on his soda I made myself a miracle tea. My own homemade concoction of green tea, lemon, ACV, stevia, red pepper flakes, turmeric powder with a touch of black pepper for absorption, and I added a bit of parsley sprigs to it while steeping. It felt like an exotic drink and I enjoyed it. I let it calm me and help me get over my touch of anger. We watched “The Christmas Chronicles” with Kurt Russell which was better than I expected. In the end I was proud of myself for staying strong and showing up for myself. I’ve known him many years so that did help. I am not strong like this everyday, but I truly want to stay strong in my own home & environment as that is where I spend 80-90% of my time (I work from home). Sorry for the rant, but how dare he?
01/05 185.4 AGAIN. A little disappointed in this. I walked 5.5 miles yesterday including a planned walk inside the school of 2 miles. Ate way below calories at 977. Net carbs of 19. Over 12,000 steps. I was a little low on all my macros because my calories were a bit too low. However, for the amount of calories I ate, my protein, fat etc was right in balance with my goals. I guess I will just have to wait it out. My body’s a little angry with me right now perhaps. Walt Disney and Cinderella taught me long ago not to worry, my whoosh will come true at some point

Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 = 160 So far so good with my eating. I kind of hate being back on the wagon, but the day is almost over, so very little opportunity left to fall off.
01/04 = 158.5 very happy to see the scale move in the right direct for the first day, even if I know, intellectually, one day's change is pretty meaningless. Today was a good day for moving and good for eating. I found my lost fitbit and stuck it on the charger so I can be more accurate with sleep and step tracking.
01/05 = 158.1 Yesterday was a good day. Hit all my water in and didn't snack late night, even though I really wanted to. Today will be tougher because we are going to a brewery for lunch with friends and they don't have nutritional information available. I have to guess.

Good news -- knee if feeling much better! But it was still a bit too uncomfortable to run on, so I sat out my 5K today. I still got in 60 minutes of strength for a great burn this morning, though. #noexcuses #dowhatyoucan
Round 64
Female, 42, 5'5"
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 160.0 Got in 58 minutes of strength training this morning. Tried to run after work, but my knee is not fully cooperating yet. I'm very sad about that as running is my therapy and helps me keep weight off. Sigh. It just started bothering me on Monday -- I think I banged it too hard coming down to the floor during a workout. I'm hoping it gets better by Saturday as I'm supposed to run my first 5K of 2019.
01/04 158.2 YEEESSS!!! Was so happy to see the scale moving in the downward direction! Now just NOT to screw this up over the weekend ...
01/05 157.2 WOOOOT!!! I'm over the moon the scale is still going down. Now just not to screw it up this weekend and gain anything back ...

1/3 - 132.8 - 8000 steps yesterday and under my calorie goal, currently set to -.5/week
1/4 - 131.8 - 7K steps, 12 minute vigorous row, and under calorie goal yesterday. Also 12 hours of work... went back late evening to after midnight, life of a sysadmin, then keyed up and couldn't sleep much. Today is a day to beware and not blow it!
1/5 - 131.0 - 8K steps and just under calorie goal yesterday. Got a great night's sleep but still feeling a little transparent. Love a rainy day. Good for taking care of myself.

1/5 - 208.4. Can’t wait for the scale to start moving down again. Woke up today and did a power walk workout on my treadmill. Hopefully I can keep things in check this weekend.16 -
Back again for another round! I gotta quit slacking though. I had a really great first round and a couple disappointing rounds since then. I'd LOVE to lose anything over 2lbs. Even 2.1 would be exciting.
SW: 169.0

ROUND 64 (Round 11 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. I don’t use my KetoMojo meter every day, but I think I’ve only been out of ketosis for a couple of days since the second week when the meter arrived. Some of my NSVs: feeling less self-conscious, wedding band fits, smaller clothing, and my happy husband, whether he’s inspired to quit his cigarette habit or not. Rounds 54 – 63 resulted in a cumulative loss of 29.6 lb. in 100 days! Another 12.4 lb. down, and I’ll switch to maintenance. This time, I’ll continue to check in—I’ve learned my lesson! Besides, I like hanging out with you sweet folks.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 147.2 Going back to work yesterday felt strange. I hadn’t been to work since mid-April (end of tax season). I didn’t have time to eat breakfast (egg, cheese, nuts, avocado), so I took it with me, but forgot to eat it. I took my turkey cabbage stew for lunch, which I ate, and I had a good dinner when I came home. On the way home, I picked up a pair of well-fitting black slacks at the Salvation Army Store. It’s a great place for “transition” clothing, and every Wednesday all the clothing is ½ price. My husband loves the inexpensive designer shirts I pick up for him. 😊
01/04 146.6 After playing cards with my friends for a few hours yesterday, I noticed sunshine, so Thor and I took a 4-mile walk. I haven’t formed an opinion on my new orthotics yet. I had a little toe pain, but not enough to slow us down. The torn meniscus in my knee seems to be doing okay. It may just be the steroid injection working, but I hope it’s actually healing.
01/05 146.0 Thor and I had a 5 mile walk yesterday in the beautiful sunshine. I may show a gain tomorrow after my date day with DH today. We watched a movie, and I ate popcorn (my breakfast), one of the tortillas on my fish tacos for lunch, and half of the sweet coleslaw. They don’t have to make it that sweet. (sigh) I’ve decided to go all out and eat a bite, maybe two, of the leftover pecan pie. It’s starting to get old, but I assume all the sugar is preserving it. My ketone level was over 3 last night, so perhaps I’ll survive today’s carbs without getting out of ketosis? We’ll see. I enjoyed the movie and time with my husband and the popcorn. I really like popcorn.

My 25th round!
OSW: 186 (March 2018)
UGW: 144-146
Pre challenge weight loss: -12 lbs.
Challenge weight loss R40 – R63: -26.5 lbs
Although I’m up a few pounds from last round, I’m still down about 40 lbs. from a year ago. It feels amazing to be starting the new year with a healthy bmi. My goal this round is to start moving back down to the mid 140’s.
R64 SW: 147.5
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 148 - I know I've done some damage this past week, but I also drank about 16 oz. of water before I hopped on the scale this morning because of a coughing fit. I can't wait until this illness is over.
01/04 - 147 - I'm half afraid to say it but I think I'm feeling a little better. Just in time for my tax season to start. I stayed under weight loss calories yesterday and drank plenty of water. I'm going to try to be extra careful this weekend so I don't bump back up, but weekends are hard.
01/05 - 146.5 - I was surprised to see a drop since we had turkey tacos last night and they are full of sodium, but I'll take it. I've eaten around maintenance today so I hope this sticks.

@tiabirdie56 Your sprouted almond recommendation sounded interesting, and I looked it. Do you have a source for raw, unpasteurized, sproutable almonds that aren't too expensive. I found almonds online, but I don't want them bad enough to pay over a dollar per ounce. I bought California almonds today, before I read that the FDA requires all U.S. grown almonds to be pasteurized, which prevents sprouting. I still plan to soak the California almonds I purchased then dehydrate them for snacking. I hope that still provides enhanced health benefits, and they may be easier for my husband to eat that way.1

@FarmerCarla, I don't think raw almonds are available in the U.S. What is marketed and purchased as raw is pasteurized. That did not deter me from soaking my almonds though. I enjoy them better soaked and I have had some sprout to my surprise.

Round 64-My first round!
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 170.7 lbs - I’m 62 and live in southwest Missouri, USA. Wife of a country boy. Raised in the city, now a country girl. Mom of two adult girls. Grandmother of two. Very happy to be part of this group.
01/04 - 169.9 - My 40th wedding anniversary is August 11! That’s 31 weeks away. I would love to get down to the weight I was on my wedding day. I think it was around 125. That would be a great present to my husband and myself. If I lose a pound a week I can be 138.9. Even that would be awesome.
01/05 - 169.2 - I over indulged today. It’ll probably show on the scale tomorrow. But then again, I was holding onto some water weight and I think that is gone today. Ok, I have no idea what to expect in the morning! I also didn’t work out today. I had to work extra and run errands. I have to work on making my myself a priority.

allmannerofthings wrote: »1/5 175.4 Stress eating yesterday DS just moved from the paediatrician to a GP. GP is asking questions that are hard for someone on the spectrum, with predictable results. It will get better as they get to know each other but it will never be easy. My own GP refused to take him as his needs were too complex so we are starting from zero. Starting today with a workout to try and vent some of the stress.
My heart and prayers are with you. I have been through so much of this with my own DS who is on the spectrum (he is 22 now) and I know how difficult it is for them, and in turn for you as it truly hurts your heart. My son hated change and his communication was difficult so things like this could be a nightmare. Hang in there. You are not alone and neither is your son. It will take awhile, but the more they experience, the better it gets. Someday when I have more time I will share the story of the beauty shop with you in regards to my son. I'll email you sometime. My prayer tonight for your DS is that this change will be life altering in the end, in a good way. A relationship that changes a million & one things for him. Big {{hug}} from us here in Northern Michigan.

I’m joining this late, but thought it would be beneficial to start now. I participated in a few of these in the past, and it seems to help keep me on track. I previously lost 120+lbs but have gained back around 25lbs in the past 1.5 years. I’m trying to get back on track now and lose some additional weight. Today was a pretty good start.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 240.5lb - expected to lose some water weight from the kind of food I’ve been eating but also expect to lose some as TOM is due in next few days so I normally a lb or two with that. Getting back on track with healthy eating and putting all the festivities behind me
01/04 - 240.1lb - I’ll take this
01/05 - 238.25 - TOM started yesterday so water weight coming off and that combined with good deficits. Still feeling quite disappointed with a gain over Christmas however atleast its coming off quickly and not as bad as it first appeared. If this weight sticks I will set a new goal for this round.
01/06 - 239lb - slight fluctuation. Met with my family last night and they suggested doing a weekly weigh in again, this was how I actually became motivated to lose weight back in September and it worked well for a few weeks but then people dropped off and eventually it was just me doing it. I definitely find the accountability helps me but then find it really hard when others are on and off to keep myself on and not just join them if that makes sense. We will see how it goes 😅
