Day/Weight/Comment
1/3 183 Thanks to advice in the book Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done I am cutting my goal in half to a pound and a half per round.. I just dropped 3 lbs in the past week though and am a little nervous that 1.5 may be difficult in the next 10 days but I’m willing to give it a shot.
1/4 183, holding strong after a crazy day yesterday. Ate at Dairy Queen of all places and the stuck to calorie goal for remainder of day
1/5 183, still the same. Going to a party tonight so I’m going to try to be extra mindful of calories (in and out) today.
1/6 181.7, There’s my goal. Now to maintain to the end.
1/7 185.4, lesson learned. Weight gain happens after 2-3 days from excess eating. I think some of this may be water retention but still.
1/8 184.7, still progressing to where I was.
1/9 183.4, ate a bunch of crackers yesterday evening. Afraid it will show up tomorrow so I’ll need to really stay on track today to counteract

My name is Jen. I’ve been sitting at the low 200s for a while now trying everything to get my weight to budge. A great MFP friend suggested this group and so far it’s helping! The weight is still moving at a snails pace but at least it’s moving!

1/2 - 206.4
1/3 - did not weigh myself
1/4 - 208.4. I’m a little surprised I jumped that much. I worked out two days ago and normally I see a gain after that but I thought it would be gone by now. Hopefully it will be by tomorrow
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.
1/6 - 208.4. I guess this is okay given it’s the weekend and I normally gain over the weekend. Will plan and drink lots of water today.
1/7 - 208.2. Very slow progress but what is positive about this number is that for the first time in almost forever I had a loss over the weekend. I’m going to celebrate that and use it to motivate me. Plan to stay on track today, walk at lunch and try to get a treadmill workout in tonight.
1/8 - 206.4. That’s the whoosh I’ve been hoping would happen (again). Have my day all mapped out. Won’t get a lot of steps in but trying for 1000 more than yesterday. Making up for it by drinking more water.

01/03 - Thursday - 177.4 - Man, its incredible how quickly things snowball! My holiday indulgences have done a number on my habits. I've got all these cravings and little desire to stick to my habits. I know this too shall pass but its currently an uphill battle. Fortunately this time, I know its not the beginning of the end, just another opportunity to hone my skills and habits and learn a little along the way. In past attempts, these stumbles were the end of my journey but not this time - its really a lifestlye change finally!!!
01/04 - Friday - 176.4 - A mildly better day yesterday. I ate fast food at lunch because I was on my own and didnt bring anything. Then I had more fast food for a snack. But I went for a power walk before I left work, and ate a light dinner and it all worked out. Baby steps. I did pack my lunch today, but minimal stuff in the house for food tonight - maybe an aldi shop tonight? Why is it so hard to remember how to eat in healthy moderation all of a sudden? Time to take a look back at my diary and refresh.
01/05 - Saturday - 175.8 - got to Aldi last night, love their pantry staples! Got a plan today to drink my smoothie, have salad for lunch and eat the proper portion size of whatever we decide on for dinner!
01/06 - Sunday - 176.6 - Weekends are still looking like a holiday celebration. Back to work and habits tomorrow!
01/07 - Monday - 176.8 - I went back and read my journal to see what I was doing differently to lose. It really wasnt all that different, I was just being consistent with my morning habits and lunches. So thats what I'm back to focusing on this week; smoothie and supplements for breakfast, pack my lunch, eat a 3PM snack and cook dinner at home. I was also doing 10 somethings (squats/lunges/wall push ups) every bathroom trip and 10 minutes of meditation daily, so working those habits back into the mix as well. The 170's have ALWAYS been like a brick wall to me though, for some reason it has been the end of my journey many many times, but I'm not letting it end me this time!
01/08 - Tuesday - 175.0 - Feeling really determined! Last night I thought I was still starving after dinner (3 scrambled eggs with cheese and 4 oz breakfast sausage) but I think it was just my greedy mind saying "It was a small amount!" So I drank a big glass of water, did some self care, and enjoyed my planned dessert and I was good! Nice to be rewarded with this little whoosh! I've committed myself to a "no-spend" week (except for fuel and bills of course) to give me a little extra accountability and incentive to cook my meals and use what we've got! So far so good - lunches packed today, dinner tonight is chicken and veggie stirfry, will also be lunches for tomorrow. Tomorrow evening will be spinach and feta chicken sausage with roasted potatoes and creamed spinach with parmesan. Thurs lunch will be ham sandwiches and dinner I'll thaw the chicken chili verde I froze last week - If i make it with rice it should be enough for lunches as well, if not I can do tuna sandwich and DH can have frozen burritos. I have a coupon for a free small cheese pizza that I need to use by Sunday, I'll save it for Saturday night after final weigh in and have it to look forward to as my 20% (food to enjoy!)
01/09 - Wednesday - 175.0 - Was kinda bummed to see the same number again but then I got a hold of myself! Continuing with the no spend week. Leftover stir fry for lunch and dinners planned. Feeling good about getting back in the swing of things. Need to plan Friday night dinner, something not super salty so I can see a nice loss this round and keep me motivated.

1/9 - 187.0 (-4.8 total) WOW WOW WOW!!! Pretty dang excited about this! I know a lot of this was water weight as that toilet was getting a work out yesterday! Keto is my friend right now and of course the hard work I’m putting into it to stay strict and focused. Knocked this rounds goal out of the park! Keep moving down and forward.
Yes, you are "knocking it out of the park!" Great to find out what works for you, huh? Happy for you!6 -
Back for my 2nd day ladies! Remember me the late starter?
So....I’m 43, and 5”3. I’m self employed, mom of 2 and in Canada.
My ultimate goal is to get into the 140s. I feel like I avoid social situation and the weight thing is a huge hit on my confidence.
Jan 8 SW: 176.4
January 9th - 174.8: So happy to be down! This is the first time I’ve even seen any loss in weeks! I didn’t have a perfect eating day yesterday but mostly avoided junk and bad snacks.

Goal weight for end of Jan: 167-168 (just want to get back in the 160's again!)
Ultimate goal: 145
Welcome, @mamarh I see you're here to stay, and that's great! We'll only be in round 64 through Jan. 12, and on the 13th, we'll be on a new thread, Round 65. Each round is 10 days. Glad you're with us!5 -
@amfmmama Don't fret about a .2 gain. You're probably sore and retaining fluid in your muscles for recovery. You'll probably develop some muscles, too, which weigh more than fat, remember? You may want to rely more on measurements for a while. I bet you're doing great!6

01/09 284.6 I got the job! And I’m so close to hitting my 10 lb goal! My father in law had his biopsies done yesterday and we should hear back in a few weeks and find out a treatment plan for him. Binge watching my 600 pound life really motivates me to not want to be on that show. I can’t believe I was almost halfway there before I started to get my *kitten* together. I have really enjoyed this page and the accountability it’s held me to knowing that I will have to post my weight every day. 3 days left, let’s see where we’re at!
@StefanieBerger88 Congratulations on your new job!!!! Celebrating with you! Praying your FIL's treatments and progress go well.3 -

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[/B] 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, 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.
01/06 146.6 If the scale is going to punish me for yesterday, it hasn’t started yet. I prayed for you, @amfmmamma, but you’ll probably be sore tomorrow! I’m about to head to church, then a concert engagement this evening, so no walk today. Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone. This is the day the Lord hath made! 😊
01/07 146.0 I enjoyed our concert last night. It was the debut of our new “Joy in the Journey” ministry theme. I have the joy of the Lord in my spiritual journey, as well as joy in my fitness journey! We stopped for dinner and our “afterglow” on the way home last night, and I enjoyed a Caesar salad with grilled shrimp. I could have gone to work today, but it may be one of the last nice days for a while, so I’ll take a walk with Thor instead. I’m glad I can still work, but it’s nice to be retired and have a choice. Getting older has a few benefits.
01/08 145.8 It was 75F when Thor and I left for our 5-mile walk yesterday. No jacket or layers required! As soon as the fog clears, we’ll walk today, too. My schedule is busier than I like for the next couple of days.
01/09 145.4 Thor and I managed to get in a 5-mile walk before I went to practice yesterday evening. It was another warm day, 68F when we started. and it warmed up more before we made it home. Today, I meet my Red Hat friends for lunch, then work for a few hours this afternoon. No walk today.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 171.0 - Up a little from the past few days, but going down from holiday weight gain.
01/04 - 169.6 - Eating at calorie goal and working out! I feel really good. Almost back to my pre-holiday weight.
01/05 - 169.4 - Same as yesterday....eating at calories and exercising every day and best of all, feeling fantastic!
01/06 - 169.0 - Yesterday was packed full of fitness! Roller skated for 2 hours, hiked 4.5 miles and did a five minute plank! Under calorie goal, but didn't make the best food choices.
01/07 - 168.8 - Eating a little below calorie goal and working out every day. Yesterday I walked my dog, planked, and did day three of a twenty five day plank challenge.
01/08 - 168.2 This challenge has been a huge motivator for me to eat healthy and exercise! I've been on track since the new year and am super stoked with the results. Only .2 pounds from my end of 10 day goal!
01/09 - 170.0 - Ran a 5k run after work yesterday, felt strong, especially after struggling all last year with injuries. I feel like I'm finally healed and can run again. Went out to dinner for Mexican food last night and brought home half my dinner as leftovers. I figured I'd be heavier this AM despite being a little under my calorie goal. Stupid sodium..

01/02 - 192 - I know this is a day early, but I needed to start ASAP. Yikes! Those holidays really added up.
01/03 - 190.4 - I know these first pounds are water, but it’s nice to see the scale move.
01/04 - 189.7 - I stayed low carb all day yesterday even through the cravings.
01/05 - 190.6 - I knew my weight was up when I woke up this morning and couldn’t get me rings off. I was too high on carbs yesterday, but it’s ok. I’ll clean it up today and drink a lot of water.
01/06 - 189.7 - Did pretty well with food and water yesterday but still woke up feeling dehydrated. I have been trying to make sure I get lots of water today and stay low on the carbs.
01/07 - 189.2 - Made it through the weekend without giving into carb cravings. That’s an achievement for me!
01/08 -188.8 - While the number is good, I gave into my carb cravings yesterday. The weight will probably bounce back up tomorrow. I’ve eaten low carb today and packed a nice low carb lunch. Hopefully, I can keep working on breaking that carb addiction!
01/09 - 188.5 - Well, that’s surprising but I’m happy with it! I ate super low carb yesterday so that probably helped. I need work on drinking more water, so that’ll be my goal for today.

@FarmerCarla LOL I’ve always been a slow reader and thought it was just me. I love reading everyone’s posts and adding my 2 cents worth. Post on 10 day-ers!!
@eminater Good job sticking to it! You’ve got this!
@mamarh Welcome! Just a heads up, the last day of this round is the 12th. Prior to that date, the next round will be posted to start on the 13th. Each new round gets a new thread.
@amfmmama I would guess that this is water retention for muscle repair. I’ve never kick boxed but it can be brutal, can’t it?
@StefanieBerger88 Congratulations! I watched my first ever episode of 600# Life the other day. The BF, caregiver, enabler had such an attitude! And she had obviously been gaining the whole time they were supposed to be eating less. As my dad would have said, “With friends like that, who needs enemies?” I felt like jumping through the TV and whacking her with a 2x4! I pray the lady dumps the friend and gets the help she needs. Do they do follow ups?4 -
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 have been participating in this challenge since Round 40, thanks @GrandmaJackie. My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

01/03 - 181.2 - I don’t know why it’s up today. Yesterday was a pretty healthy eating day really and I exercised.
01/04 182.0 - has another good day yesterday except for sodium. I know a lot of this is water weight as my fingers are swollen. I’ll drink more water today.
01/05 - 182.2 ugh

01/07 - 182.4
01/08 - 181.2
01/09 - 181.4 - I am so disappointed with myself for this round. I am finding it hard not grazing since I am home and not working. I was going out daily, but yesterday our car died on me while I was out and that’s not helping financially at all.

@BethE238 I had to grin at your “hind”sight! I couldn’t figure out what bathing suits were so baggy in the butt until I took a selfie of my rear! I ended up sewing 2 big darts in each side of my suit!

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.
1/2 131.5
:::::::::::::::::
1/3 131.0 I have been having some intestinal distress for several days which may finally be passing although it sounds as if a battle rages!
1/4 131.0 Today is the 48th birthday of our first born. I remember the icy roads and the 8 mile, 45 minute drive to the base at 2AM, and the poor fellow at the gate trying to chip the ice off the sticker which gave us access to the base, his panic when Carl said I was in labor. AT 5:08AM, a beautiful 8# 1 oz, healthy baby girl appeared. She has become a beautiful woman, a wonderful mom, and a caring nurse.
1/5 130.5 Our new mattress was delivered yesterday. I wish I could say I felt I slept great on it but I think there will be an adjustment period. I hope.
1/6 131.5 I’m so tired! Awake before 5AM again with the start of a headache which has now gone. Used sucralose sweetener yesterday and today in my coffee instead of stevia. I think that may be the cause of the gain as I only ate 1/2 of my Greek salad yesterday and one egg. Dozed off tubing and accidentally deleted my whole post. I need a nap!
1/7 132.0 Did not drink close to enough water yesterday. I was so sleepy all day that I fell asleep in my recliner at 7:30 last night. Carl woke me at 10:30 to go to bed. I showered and was in bed by 11 and slept until 4:38 this morning. Something wakes me every morning at that time! Since I didn’t drink water before bed, it wasn’t the call of nature. It’s irritating.

1/9 131.0 We meet our new doctor today. New insurance, same medical group, different location - about 5 miles closer to home. Hope this is as painless as it should be!11 -
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
01/06 no weigh in – 7000 steps & 20 min Leslie Sansone DVD
01/07 373.6
01/08 372.6
01/09 370.2 – finally got back on track. Got in my 7000 steps yesterday, no workout, and a blue dot day.

Hi. I am new to the MFP community and this is my first round of a challenge. I am a mom of two young kids and custom cake and macaron baker (I know).

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.
01/06 = 157.1 restuarant visit yesterday went well. I'm doing a dry January, so even though we ate at a brewery, I avoided the most dangerous part of eating out. Also, the food was mediocre, so didn't kill me to eat less that usual. I worked out and did yoga. Drank ridiculous amounts of water. I also took a look at my macro nutrient ratios in the app and adjusted them. Yesterday was my first day of being mindful of my ratios (especially eating enough complex carbs... I had to go searching for them)
01/07 = 155.4 The good: I worked out. I did yoga. I met my water goal. I logged my meals and was mindful of my macros. The not so good: I could have eaten more. I am suspicious of the exercise calorie counter and I didn't eat back most of my exercise calories. This was mistake in hindsight. Today will be the real test. Winter break is over. The kids go back to school and I have to find a new routine that works with real life.
01/08 156.1 I'm pretty sure yesterday's weight was a scale fluke and I probably should have stepped on more than once when I saw it drop so much. More than happy to still be on track. I under ate yesterday, which was what I was afraid of. Now that the kids are back in school, I'm out of the house until late, and it makes it hard to eat if eating out is off the table. I did well on water, and ate quality, though. I could have walked more. I need to meal prep today, and that is my major goal for the day. I have been off added sugar and alcohol since the start of the year. Both things that interfere with my sleep and my moods. Both things I love dearly. But, it's been okay so far. I haven't had a time where I've been fighting a craving.
01/09 = 155.6 My challenge goal weight is within reach for sure! Yesterday was a great day. I ate healthy and was very mindful of the food choices I made. I was active all day. More importantly, I felt great. Realizing I'm only six days in to food tracking and only 2 1/2 weeks of being back on the strength training bandwagon, I don't look different from when I began. My clothes fit the same. But I feel different. I feel stronger. I'm carrying myself more confidently. And just happier. All this to say that it isn't the goal weight I'm looking for. Or a size. It is this feeling. This feeling of not being tired from a diet too high in sugar and simple carbs and wine and not exercising. Of being happy with my body and myself as-is.

01/08 145 Sorry everyone, I havent posted here since a little after Christmas I think. I was having a tough time getting myself motivated, and I gained 4 pounds over Christmas and New Years. Finally feeling better about things. Lost the 4 pounds I gained, thank goodness. Also decided to give intermittent fasting a try, today is day 2. I think it'll really help me because it'll cut out late night snacking. Going to try and catch up on everyone's progress today and tomorrow 😊.
01/09 145 Happy with myself for not giving in to LNS! Coffee has really helped though. Fortunately coffee doesn't keep me up, so I can drink it any time of the day.
