Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 243.8...We had blizzard like weather yesterday so it was an in the house day. Managed to stay within calories, drink 125oz of water, do a walking video and shovel some snow.
01/04 - 242.4
01/05 - 242.0...walked for about 30 mins yesterday while shopping. Under calories and 75 oz ot water.
01/06 - no weigh in. Had a really bad day yesterday, and learned that my biggest food trigger is anger. I ate until I was sick and still feeling sick this morning from it.
01/07 - 241.0...stayed low calorie yesterday, under 1000 (mostly because I was still to sick to eat much) Did about 30 mins of walking and had 100 oz ot water.
01/08 - 241.6..went out for supper yesterday but kept it within calories, did water aerobics, helped my mother move a bunch of stuff and had 100 oz of water. Either up from sodium in supper or because it's a 3hr earlier weigh in than yesterday.
01/09 - 240.4
01/10 - 239.8 ..whoohoo!! Back to the 230's finally. Noticed on my trend tracker app today that if I get below 233 I will move from obese class 3 to class 2, so that is my new mini goal!
01/11 - no weigh in, didn't even think of the scale this morning. It is my sons first day of kinderstart so I'm a ball of emotions! Can't believe he is starting school, time is going way to fast! 😢 Kind of glad I missed the weigh in this morning anyway..ate at around maintenance yesterday, had only 25oz of water and no exercise. We ended up going out of town to visit family so that threw my day off and than we went out for supper with my mom when we got back. Will be a better day today and if my son doesn't stay up to late tonight I'm finally going to get back to the gym (it's been months)
01/12 - 241.4...well that makes no sense. I finally went to the gym last night, did 20mins on treadmill, 20mins on elliptical and about 20mins upper body weights work out...and was showing a 2000 calorie deficit for the day. Oh well, hopefully a better weigh in tomorrow. See you all in the next round!!6 -

@Lilylady3K Even without finishing the round, you had a loss, so that’s good! See you next round!
@jaccmi63 and @back2cute Praying for employment or business opportunities for both of you! You may need to get creative. To me, 50 is young. I suspect the insurance requirements on businesses affect hiring these days, too. There’s a place for you, so don’t give up on your fitness goals or your career goals. I was still taking college classes in my 50’s. It’s never too late to learn new skills. There are still some employers who appreciate maturity and experience. Wishing both of you a great 2019!
@jaccmi63 Next time, you may want to consider putting your exercise goal above your TV issues. Walking is a great time to plan ahead and pray. TV is usually a distraction. Turkey chili sounds like a great, low-carb fit for my dinner. Relax and enjoy your evening!
@FarmerCarla Thank you! He had lots of fun.
Yes, my family are definitely my biggest supporters...when I mess up it's all my own doing.3 -
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.

01/03= 152.6
01/04= 151.8 Slowly headed in the right direction. I’ve really been doing better, but the scales are hard to move. I have been moving my body an incredible amount, really, but the scales are not responding as desired…yet! (The power of YET!)
01/05= 151.8
01/06= 152.0 Last couple days of vacation, so it’ll be back to routine tomorrow.
01/07= 153.0 Home to a different set of scales. Done with vacation, so hoping this doesn’t stay long.
01/08= 151.0 That’s better! Felt good to eat right again yesterday. Have low carb lunch packed, but travel tonight, so I’ll have to be careful. Won’t be at a scales tomorrow morning.
01/09= traveling, no scales
01/10= 151.4 Up just a bit from sitting in the car way too much and not eating like normal, but I’ll take only .4.
01/11= 152 Ugh, I am self-sabotaging right now. Please, Dear God, I NEED to hike tomorrow!!! Hiking was my sanity and I haven’t been on a trail in months.
01/12= 151.2. YAY, down a little bit for the round. It’s not much, but it’s a start!10 -

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.
01/06 - 146 - I'm surprised again, but I'm happy!
01/07 - 147 - There's my weekend bounce! We're having a new treadmill delivered today, after 18 years of pretty steady use our old one is just starting to fall apart. My husband is responsible for most of the use in the past year. I'm hoping the new, quieter, and stable treadmill will get me on track to start doing more regular exercise. I've lost this 40 pounds this past year by calorie counting only. I haven't really done any exercise to speak of and I know to stay healthy I need to build up my cardio health along with counting my calories.
01/08 - 146.5 - The only exercise I got last night was trying to put together the new treadmill. I ended up you-tubing an assembly video and hopefully we can finish it up in a couple days. Meanwhile, it does feel good to be back to my normal eating habits and I'm hoping I can finish this round with a loss.
01/09 - 146.5 - After a few different attempts, we finally got the treadmill up and running last night. I'm hoping to give it a try tonight after work, but our dog wouldn't eat her breakfast this morning, so now I'm wondering if I'll be spending my evening at the vet.
01/10 - 146.5 - Our dog was fine and ready to play when I got home last night. So instead of walking, I ended up playing with the dog for a half hour. I'm really going to try to hop on that treadmill tonight.
01/11 - 146.5 - I was getting ready to get on that treadmill when I turned on the TV to watch while walking and the screen kept freezing. Instead of walking I ended up on the U-Verse support phone line for an hour and a half. Grrr. I won't have a chance to walk tonight and we're having turkey chili for supper so I'm not looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow.
01/12 - 145 - Well, that is a nice surprise! I should know better by now that I can never be sure what the scale is going to say the next day. See you next round!9 -

01/03 - 253.8 - I'm sick and my BF is sick. Neither of us felt like cooking. I ate a lot of bread, oatmeal & oatbran yesterday that all tend to stick to me for a couple of days. Sick or not, I can eat! lol If I eat high protein/low carb today I should be back down tomorrow.
01/04 - 251.8
01/05 - 252.2
01/06 - 250.8 <<< new low for this attempt at weight loss. I did hit 248.8 last May (down from 274.2 in Jan/18) so I'm only 2 pounds away. I know it's not productive to think about where I could be right now had I stuck with it but I do kick myself for regaining most of it back (271.8) At the very least, it would've been better to stay and maintain the new low weight until I was ready to lose more. I'm determined to keep going this time!
01/07 - 250.4
01/08 - 250.8 - weighed earlier than yesterday
01/09 - 252.2 - I ate 1329 calories AFTER dinner last night. I get so tired of myself.
01/10 - 251.8
01/11 - 253.0 - I did very well yesterday until after dinner. I always seem to take a long time to get out of the 250s. This happened to me last year as well. Not sure why I fight it.
01/12 - 251.6 - I didn't reach my goal of getting in to the 240s this round but I'll for sure do it next round. I didn't give in to LNS last night which was a win. Thank you @quiltingjaine for the peptalk yesterday - I kept it in mind after dinner and it helped!

I’m 42 and currently ~225. I’d like to lose 75lbs, maybe more. I tend to get overwhelmed when I think about how much I need to lose and then I give up as soon as the going gets tough. I struggle with consistency.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 223.4- I did a 30-min cardio video and stayed within my calories for the day.
01/04 - 222.2- awesome strength workout and decent eating day. 64oz water (most in a long while). No mindless eating (big for me). Stayed within my calories (eating some exercise calories)
01/05 - 222- I am so proud of myself. Today is my son’s birthday and last night we had his family dinner celebration. I exercised in the morning and ate super light all day to prepare for the big meal. I ate 1500 calories for dinner! 😱 But I didn’t eat all day and still eat that big of a meal, which is huge for me. I managed to stay under 1800 calories for the day (1580 is my goal). Also I exercised 5 days in a row this week.
01/06 - 221.6-yesterday was my son’s birthday and my friend and I took a small group to play Airsoft. The boys play a round then come back for a rest. So, my friend and I walked while they were out. It helped me get over 13,000 steps and my 6th consecutive day of exercise. Despite having chorizo for breakfast, just snacking for lunch, and pizza for dinner, I stayed under my calories for the day. I’m a teacher and today is the last day of break. Tomorrow is when the real challenge begins.
01/07 - 221.6- I ate okay all day but didn’t move much and didn’t drink all of my water. Still, no gain and I’m down 3.4lbs in a week so I’ll take it!
01/08 -221.4- I went back to work Monday after 2 weeks off. We had professional development which means lunch out. I am thrilled I made a good decision there. I did a 20-minute HIIT workout after my dinner settled, so I can check off my Monday workout commitment! More water tomorrow (only 5 cups today).
01/09- 222.0- My first increase. Not going to worry about it because I know I’m on track. I did my 3rd strength training exercise (since getting back on track) and it felt amazing. It makes me wonder why I ever stopped in the first place. My only struggle right now is that my fat consumption is a little high each day. I’m mostly worried about tracking, exercise, and staying within my calorie range so I’ll worry about that later.
01/10- 221.6- I stayed within my calorie allowance but decided not to exercise (it was late, I was sore and felt I would benefit more from rest). I got a great night sleep.
01/11- 221.8- I’m not going to lie. This teeny yo yo hurts because I’m working so hard. But this is not a sprint. I know it will go down if I keep at it!
01/12- 221.6- this makes for a 1.8lb loss over this challenge and I’ll take it! Im proud of myself for sticking to a workout plan despite difficulties that I previously would have allowed to deter me. I tracked daily throughout the challenge. I’m building healthy habits again. Finally.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 11st 10.4lb Was not feeling too well yesterday so didn't quite manage to eat all of my calories which explains the loss. Better today but I do have a sore throat.
01/04 11st 11lb Slightly up. I did have to estimate my breakfast out yesterday but it couldn't have been much more than I put and I had a lot of exercise calories that I didn't eat which wouldn't explain the difference. But I'm not too worried
01/05 11st 10.2lb Happy with this although it only takes me down 0.2lb from starting weight of round. Still not feeling well. I'm beginning to think I would have been better staying at home for Christmas instead of picking up bugs from family!
01/06 11st 8.8lb Not surprised with this as I didn't eat all of my calories yesterday. That's due to not feeling well still. I'll have to be careful when I'm feeling better and more active that I keep to my calorie limit as I don't want to under eat anymore than over eat.
01/07 11st 8.0lb Late weigh in this morning. At the moment I'd rather feel better than lose this weight by not being able to eat properly. I have a committee meeting this evening so I need to give myself a little push today and stop lounging around
01/08 11st 7.8lb. Weight loss has slowed slightly which is good. I was worried it was going too fast this month. Yesterday I cooked chips for the first time and not only managed to calorie count them but managed to keep within my fat and calorie level for the day. I am still eating lower than my planned calorie level but I hope by going out today and getting some exercise my appetite will increase.
01/09 11st 8.0lb Late weigh in. Slight increase which I'm not surprised at, except I did get out and walked for the first time in 3 days! I didn't eat any of my exercise calories but I also didn't eat all my allowed calories either. This I think shows me that I will gain on 1200 calories, and I'm only losing when I don't eat all of them. So the solution really is that I do have to more exercise if I want to lose on 1200 calories. Everything weighed properly.
01/10 11st 8.2lb Slight gain. I ate 1249 calories yesterday out of an allowed 1380 (including exercise calories) I only ever lose weight when I eat under 1200 calories or I when I get a lot of exercise calories and only eat a few of them. I went over because I had a second truffle - but I was feeling cold yesterday in the house and I think that led to me eating over my fat allowance. I usually manage to stay within my macros
01/11 11st 9lb No idea how I've put a pound on. I recorded under my calories yesterday and ate none of my exercise calories. I really want to lose that pound today for the end of the round. Thank goodness I didn't eat the crisps I was pining for!
01/12 11st 8lb I did it! I lost the pound I put on yesterday! And I ate the crisps, a small bar of chocolate and a chocolate biscuit. But all within my calorie limit - in fact I was under it.
Total loss this round is 3.8lb - really happy with that11 -
01/12 - 241.4...well that makes no sense. I finally went to the gym last night, did 20mins on treadmill, 20mins on elliptical and about 20mins upper body weights work out...and was showing a 2000 calorie deficit for the day. Oh well, hopefully a better weigh in tomorrow. See you all in the next round!!
My guess is that it's just your muscles hanging on to water weight while they repair themselves. It doesn't happen for me if I "just" walk but if I hit the weights it for sure shows up on the scale.
I think you're doing very well!9 -
Great! Well done!!!! My result you will see in the post bellow

Goals -
* Under 1900 cals each day
* No blood glucose tests above 180
* Run 5 days above 2.5 miles
1/3 - 205.7, Happy that I did not eat a lot, but did not track and overall choices not great. Need to get on the darn treadmill and make sure testing blood glucose consistently. Focusing on tomorrow's goals.
1/4 - 204.2, Fairly happy. Relatively good eating and a blood glucose of 96 right before bed which was fantastic. A key to success in managing my type II is staying off the carbs after 3PM. Still need to get on the treadmill and track food intake.
1/5 - 202.8, Pretty good day. Ate a light and healthy breakfast and lunch. Went out for dinner and ate so-so, but did not over eat. Big win was 2.7 miles on the treadmill in 30 minutes. Going to try to track food tomorrow. Want to start posting calories and steps for more accountability.
1/6 - 202.8 (1,095 calories in and 11,241 steps). Very good day. First time I ever tracked every single item I ate. Took my son to the newly opened Top Golf. I did not realize it was a bar food place. Only drank unsweetened iced tea. Did not do a lot of walking all day, but hit the treadmill at 8PM. Got in a great 2.7 miles/30 minute run. Interested to see what the scale says tomorrow morning.
1/7 - 200.8 (1,180 calories in and 12,381 steps). Relatively happy today. Second day in a row tracking everything I ate. One bad choice that shot blood glucose up to 239, but one bad choice is better than many. Ran on treadmill for 30 minutes for 2.8 miles. Hoping the scale goes under 200 tomorrow.
1/8 - 199.7 (2,175 calories in and 9,505 steps) - WOW!!! Have not seen this number in 20 years. Extremely happy. Need to make this sustainable and go for another 6.
An odd day. The high of a great weigh-in followed by shaky eating after lunch and binge eating at night. The low calories the prior two days did not help. Need to find a place in-between. Happy that I tracked every single item I ate which I would have quit doing in the past. Not a horrible binge, but still a binge. Will show on the scale tomorrow and just need to bounce back. Will do!
1/9 - 201.6 (1,177 calories in and 14,297 steps) - Very good day. Happy that I have now tracked everything that I ate for 4 days in a row. Too low on my calories and need to do better with that, but nervous about the dinner/night binge so I have been staying away from a big dinner. Did a 35 minute treadmill run. Loving this forum to stay accountable and encouraging each other.
1/10 - 201.1 - It was some day. I will just leave it at that. The only positive was weighing in at the 201.1 for my yearly physical which was the lowest I have been at my doctor. Going to bounce back tomorrow and finish this round strong!!!
1/11 - 202.4 - Started off great all the way through lunch. Went on a binge at dinner until bed. Getting back tomorrow and will track all food through bed time. Just a blip. I love this forum because it allows me to get back on track and not allow things to snowball for days/weeks. Good luck to everyone through the weekend.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/03 - 182.0 Happy with this.
01/04 - 181.9 I weighed myself twice this morning and got two different numbers, so this is the average. Crossing my fingers!
01/05 - 183.2 Well that's not very nice! I was over my calories yesterday but I'm guessing this has more to do with water retention or something. Oh well, off to Pilates!
01/06 - 183.0
01/07 - 182.6
01/08 - 185.4 I didn't even want to post this, but I'm pretty sure it must just be water retention since I ate out last night. That's what I'm telling myself....
01/09 - 184.4 UGH......
01/10 - 184.2
01/11 - 184.2
01/12 - 180.8 Whoosh! Um, okay, I don't have any hope that this will stay until tomorrow, but I'm sure doing the happy dance today!!!! Just the motivation I needed to keep up with tracking calories. I was getting discouraged!11 -
01/12 - 241.4...well that makes no sense. I finally went to the gym last night, did 20mins on treadmill, 20mins on elliptical and about 20mins upper body weights work out...and was showing a 2000 calorie deficit for the day. Oh well, hopefully a better weigh in tomorrow. See you all in the next round!!
My guess is that it's just your muscles hanging on to water weight while they repair themselves. It doesn't happen for me if I "just" walk but if I hit the weights it for sure shows up on the scale.
I think you're doing very well!
@Birder165 Thanks! I really hope that's what it is, it was pretty discouraging to see a gain this morning.
You're doing great as well, and you'll definitely hit the 240's next round!

Day/Weight/10-day Calorie Ave/Comment
01/03 - 138.2 - 2078
Back on track, finally, with food & exercise. I'm interested to see how long it takes to re-lose what I gained the past 40 days.
01/04 - 138.2 - 2032
Average coming down, despite a piece of cranberry cobbler last night. Had to use those cranberries!
On the plus side, I had my first of three sessions with a personal trainer yesterday and have a plan for the next month until I see her again, and I've been walking/biking every day and doing weights 3 times/week. We're supposed to get up to 48 this afternoon, hopefully with no rain, so I'm hoping to walk outdoors.
01/05 - 139 - 1970
Ah, the mysteries of calories, exercise, averages, and weight. I walked and hour+ yesterday, happily outdoors as it was 58F! No idea why I bounced back up. I did bake some whole wheat applesauce carrot honey muffins last night, and I ate 1, but that was only 130. I have been slacking on veggies, so that may be part of it. Onward! Have a great weekend, all!
01/06 - 139.2 - 1931
We had another beautiful day yesterday and I walked along the river for an hour. Temps are headed down, though, so I'll be back indoors - I'm a cold-weather weenie. This week I'm adding a stretch & flex and a yoga class to my routine.
01/07 - 137.6 - 1907
Finally trending down a little. Today's the day I restart eating against inflammation. I'm aiming for lots of fish and veggies, and am cutting dairy, gluten, and added sugar for now. We shall see. Also, recommended reading -- Food Sanity by Dr. David Friedman. He looks at various eating styles -- paleo, keto, and more - and the research that supports or contradicts them. Useful info!
01/08 - 137.2 - 1811
Yesterday I recommended (based on reading the intro) the book Food Sanity by Dr. David Friedman. I take it back. While there is some good info, Dr. Friedman's "science" is very shaky (my background is in anthropology, and his chapter on paleo and its basis in our species' history is underwhelming, to say the least) and many of his arguments read like junior high writing. I'm disappointed - I like the premise, but once I read material I know is incorrect I just can't trust the author re. the things I don't know. There's my review for what it's worth (and the book has many good ones online). Back to better sources for me!
01/09 - 137.8 - 1752
I woke up at 4 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, so I got up at 4:30 and was at the Y at 5:10. I walked 10 min to warm up and then did half an hour of weight training, and now I'm snuggled up at Panera Bread with a hot cup of vanilla spice tea, planning to write until DH shows up for breakfast. I'd love get back in the habit of early starts (although I like it better in the summer when the sun comes up earlier!). ! I have yoga this afternoon, so I'll walk another 50 minutes before class.
01/10 - 137.6 - 1665
I skipped yoga yesterday - the roads were really icy so I did some stretching at home. Better today, so I'll hit the Y this afternoon. I can't believe we're 10 days into January already!
01/11 - 138.4 - 1642
I had a bit of a pig out last night. I was in a lot of pain yesterday and depressed about it, and I ate a piece of applesauce oatmeal bread, chocolate, and a bunch of nuts. I also skipped exercise, which I probably shouldn't do. Feeling better today, so onward....
01/12 - 138.8 - 1683
Delayed pig-out consequences. I did eat a bit too much last night - cornbread, mmmm - but I also hit the Y for 90 minutes of bike and weights, so not a complete disaster. Next round will be better. See you there! Have a lovely weekend!

Journaled it all yesterday but it was NOT a pretty picture.
My goal for 2019 is to get into ONEderland. Changing my life.
SW: 245 (R63 starting 12/30/2018)
End R63: 245 (0 loss; lowest 244.4 & avg 244.7 over the 4 days)
Round 64 FIRST full 10 day round!
R64 my focus will be to not break my tracking streak since 12/28 and being active every day in some way shape or form! Get up out of the chair from work, reading or tv and MOVE! Focusing on baby steps and correcting so many bad habits! Goal is to reach 240-243 and make it stick.
01/03 - 244 - I guess yesterday’s bounce up was the fluke as I’m starting today’s round a pound lower! Rain and did not follow through with indoor bike.
01/04 - 244.4 - Yesterday reflection on the bump on the scale. Well deserved due to some choc cake and wine at bunco. Positive note. Stuck to raw veggies and lunchmeat at bunco to offset and tasted but did not eat the whole piece of cake! No exercise. Did not get up from chair during long day at work. Craved chips around 5 after work and gave in… tried carrots but then caved limiting the damage counting out the chips… slapping my own hand. 2 days back at work and again losing focus on exercise Wed & Thurs! This cannot continue!!! Prioritize yourself over work. Today’s challenge will be 1/2 day work then driving 7 hours today for a funeral tomorrow. Then turning around Saturday and driving home. Take clothes for the hotel gym.
01/05 - @ hotel no scale; followed through with my commitment and went to the hotel fitness center at 6am! 45 min on a bike hoping that it will make up for any damage from mexican food the night before. The rest of today will be funeral, combined sit down lunch/dinner after funeral with the large family then driving back from Arkansas to Texas.
01/06 - 247 - hoping this is sodium and just not moving much over the past couple of days traveling. We’ll see. Today walking around boat show and eating mindfully. AND drinking water.
01/07 - 243.9 Wonderful to see that yesterday was the fluke that I suspected. Today’s mindset is to not sit all day … get moving. Hopped on bike and went for 2 walks during work breaks! 11 day tracking food in MFP! Drank more water yeah me!
01/08 - 244.8 hmmm lots of salty stuff yesterday and a larger portion of my dinner than necessary. Need to learn to not just split with DH but take an even smaller portion. Reminder - It is okay to leave food on the plate. Restaurant lunch challenge today ... so planning to be mindful when ordering.
01/09 - 243.3 Yesterday picked a restaurant without chips on the table, ordered a side Mediterranean salad (cucumber & tomato) to offset the shoe string fries that came with the crab cake. Extra $ but so worth it! Water was my friend.
01/10 - 243.3 Bike and walked yesterday in addition to tracking and drinking water. Feels wonderful. Today worked and only walked to the mailbox then driving all evening. When we stopped for fast-food I choose the small hamburger (no cheese & no bun oil)!
01/11 - @ Camp no scale. 15 day streak on tracking! Will not have a scale Fri-Mon so I'll have to be accountable to myself without the scale and call yesterday's WI the end weight for this round and the start of the next until I return home on Tues.
01/12 - @ Camp no scale. Yesterday reflection. Did not exercise, lot of snacking, big meals and too much wine. It is not going to be a pretty picture. Need to reign it back in.10
