What a great idea grandma jackie @GrandmaJackie ! Im looking forward to staying motivated with you all. I just finished 8 months with noom and dropped 8 kilos. Almost 18 pounds! I took what i could from the program and am off on my own, but i loved the group support i got there so thought of jumping into the mfp community!

My 26th round!
OSW: 186 (March 2018)
UGW: 144-146
Pre challenge weight loss: -12 lbs.
Challenge weight loss R40 – R64: -29 lbs
My tax season starts this round which means I'll be working weekends and roughly 12 hours a day. Clients bring us goodies and the owner of the CPA firm often buys us lunch and dinner. I'm going to use this round to figure out exactly how to maintain my weight while being tempted by donuts, cookies, pizza, etc. It's almost as bad as the holidays!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 - 144 - I'm very surprised! Due to my sodium yesterday and today, I'll bet it goes up tomorrow, but I'm very happy today. I've also got my lunch and healthy snacks packed for tomorrow.
01/14 - 146 - Here's the sodium! I'll be drinking plenty of water today.
01/15 - 147 - Wow, I did not want to post this, but facing this is what has kept me on track the last 8 months. My daughter stopped by last night so I had an extra glass of wine with her and I ate leftovers from Sunday for dinner, which did not help with my water weight. I have supper plans with my my golf league tonight at an Italian restaurant, so tomorrow is probably not going to be any better. But, it is my last night out with the ladies until tax season is over in April, so I'm going to go and enjoy myself. I'll just have to work really hard this next week to get my weight back down.

My daughter has done well with keto, but she just returned from a cruise and said the skin on her leg is numb. I don't think the diet would cause that, but I'm concerned about what the problem might be.
@eminater You've done very well! You're teetering on the edge of onederland! Hooray for you!
@FarmerCarla - I felt better this morning. Still had issues going to sleep last night and the restless legs but I hope that will pass soon. I am still trying to watch the carbs and sugar intake but take it down SEVERAL notches. I will say the first 8 days of Keto invigorating me and got me to cut out the crazy out of control snacking.
I hope your daughter figures out her leg issue. The unknown is always a bit concerning.5 -
Committing myself for the next ten days! Good luck everybody.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13- 220.6- Been doing well with moderating my alcohol intake for the last week and monitoring food. Also I have been making an effort to stay fairly active. Today I am aiming to not snack and to get a long walk in later with the dog. Good luck everybody X
01/14- 220.0- A good day yesterday, been out walking for 2 hours this morning though because I was pushing a buggy the Fitbit didn't log all the steps. It's a low calorie day today, feeling very in control at the moment X
01/15- 221.0- yesterday was very successful, 15,000steps and stuck to my calorie goals, hopefully the scales will show the drop tomorrow. Today I am aiming to stay under 1500cals, not many steps but il make up for it tomorrow x

Ultimate goal weight 160
Round 65 GW - 182.6
Round 64 EW - 185
1/13 - 184.6 (-.4 total)
1/14 - 184.6 (-.4 total) I have been doing Keto for the past 8 days and it has served me well losing a 7.2 pounds. My plan was Keto for one month and then go back to regular CICO as I had done previously and lost 50 pounds. I am officially off Keto today. Diet plans affect each of us differently and the things I’m experiencing are not worth it if I can achieve weight lose another way. I’m not sleeping, this is causing incredibly painful headaches, my legs are so restless they are jumping all over the place when I go to bed at night, the roof of my mouth feels and tastes kind of raw and yesterday my lower jaw started feeling numb and made opening my mouth difficult (thankfully that passed after 15 min or so). Yes I do realize it takes our bodies time to adjust to new things but I cannot function if I don’t get some sleep. I’m not saying Keto is bad, absolutely not, but I just don’t think it’s for me.
1/15 - 184.6 - well I seem to be stuck but it’s better than up!!! Ya get it, stuck and up, stuckup!!! Awe c’mon people, that’s a little funny and y’all know it. Pretty good wit for so early in the morning. ;)p. Y’all have a good day.
15 -
I’m 42 and have been on a diet since I was 20. I was fit and lean most of my 20’s and the weight crept up after having kids. Then I didn’t feel I had time to take care of me. I’ve decided it benefits my whole family for me to take care of me so here I am, more determined than ever!
Challenge History:
Round 64 SW: 223.4 EW: 221.6
Round 65 goals:
1. Continue habits built during Round 64
2. Drink at least 8 cups of water per day.
Day/Weight/Comment
1/13- I took the day off from the scale
1/14- 222- 🤷🏼♀️
1/15- 224.4-went over calories. Have a UTI and am now on antibiotic. Blah. Who knows if this is why I gained or if it’s the dinner I ate (lots of sodium). I seriously doubt I suddenly gained 2lbs. I’m still committed and I know bumps in the road will happen. I’ll get there!

01/13 - 250.4
01/14 - 248.8 - Whoomp! There it is! This was the lowest weight I got down to last year in May before I quit trying because "I wasn't losing weight fast enough". So I gained almost all of it back. Doesn't make any sense, does it? lol
01/15 - 249.8 - I'm happy with this. Still technically in the 240s!
I'm puffy this morning so this is probably water retention. Stuck to calorie limit yesterday but had a later dinner. No LNS. Also, I had red meat the night before for dinner and that seems to stay in my system longer.

My goal for 2019 is to get into ONEderland. Changing my life.
R65 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! Goal is to reach 240-241 and make it stick.
SW: 245 (R63 starting 12/30/2018)
End R63: 245 (0 loss; lowest 244.4 & avg 244.7 over the 4 days)
End R64: 243.3 (-1.1 loss; lowest 243.3 & avg 243.3 over 7 WI days; 3 days no scale available)
1/13 - 243.3 - @ Camp no scale; using WI from 1/10 for start of this round. 17 day tracking streak! Yesterday walked the nearby county park and gardened. Long drive home today. Need to watch the snacking, fast food, drink plenty of water and walk this evening.
1/14 - 244.1 - Up a little after the weekend at fishing camp which is not a surprise but I was so much more in control. Less snacking, less alcohol. Could have moved more. And then when returned home my sister made sodium laden red beans and rice. Lots of water to offset.
1/14 - 243 - Couldn't believe the scale this morning so hoped back on again at 10am. It looks like it was a fluke earlier. I wish it was always that easy to drop.
1/15 -242.3 - Drinking water, cut back on alcohol, less snacking, less sitting more standing/walking.

1/1/19: 213.4
UGW 170
SW/ER64 – 205.4
Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 - 203.7 (5839 steps) – Today is my 1st full day here in this challenge. Didn’t make it to the barn to ride yesterday. We got lots of snow. Zero structure to my day. Could have been a potential problem. I had 2 meals still leftover from last week’s meal prep so, I used those for lunch/dinner. Rode the recumbent bike in the living room for a total of 50 mins (10.05 miles). Still allowed myself room to have a pint of Halo Top.
01/14 – 204.8 (6813 steps) – Sundays are the laziest day of my week. This was no different. We got 3” of snow and I did NOT want to leave the house. I slept in late and was a couch potato. I stayed in the green with my calories and even did 37 mins (7.77 miles) on the bike. I was able to meal prep lunch/dinner for the work week. Hopefully leaving on Friday for weekend in KY with my Mom.
01/15 – 203.5 (7480 steps) – I ate all 3 of my meals at work yesterday seeing as I had to work a 10 hour day. It felt better to have dinner consumed BEFORE I got on the road for my hour drive home, plus 2 errands to run in the middle. I wasn’t tempted for a quick drive-by dinner or crappy quick meal when I got home (at 7:30pm). Win! I squeezed in 33 mins on the bike (6.9 miles) before hitting the sack. All in all it was a good day.

1/13 - 203.1 (1,387 calories, 10,692 steps): Solid day. Tracked all food. Stayed away from the dinner/night binge. A little too high on the carbs which showed blood glucose in the 140-150 range for long periods of the day. Did not workout so I need to improve there. Better things for today!
1/14 - 204.3 (way too high on the calories, and way too low on the steps): The dinner/night binge got me. I'll get it today. Going for a perfect day today! Good luck to everyone.
1/15 - 202.8 (~1,900 calories, 8,647 steps): Back in the right direction. Decent day. Need to get my treadmill game back on. Will try to get on it tonight or get a long walk in while waiting for kid's activities. Keep the momentum going.10 -

01/14 - 189.5 more bad choices. I need to keep track of food again. I was trying to do this without tracking but I need the accountability

1/14 177.6 more woosh! So many posts! It is great to have so many companions on the journey. Its a bit like a pilgrimage, except that when we get where we're going (Santiago maybe?) we will want to stay.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/13 - 138.8
I've decided to stop obsessing about calories, at least for this round, and to focus on macros (approx. 20% P, 30% F, 50% carbs, mostly veggies, fruit, and whole grains) plus exercise, meditation, fun, community, and sleep. Although I'd like to weigh about 10-12 pounds less, I'm at a healthy weight and feel good, so as maintenance or slow loss, I'm happy either way.
01/14 - 140
Sodium yesterday, and not enough water. Back on track today.
01/15 - 139.2
Yesterday was a good day. I was on track with food, although my macros were off (too much fat, not enough veggie carbs), and I had a great 90 minute workout at the Y - walking, weights, bike. I love the Precor video bikes - I rode up a mountain in the Italian Alps! I'm making gluten free crab cakes for lunch -- mmmmmm!
