02/11 141.2

02/12 143.4 I was really good last night but I did have a lot of salty food and I was feeling bloated today so this could be a combination of both. Just a fluctuation or else I don't know what I might have done wrong to earn this gain. I stayed under calories, worked out and drank 1.6 liters of water. 19,000+ steps. The past couple of rounds I haven't been coming to the group as often, although still weighing in every day but I want to make this group apart of my priority..it took so long to read the last thread and get caught up on all your progresses but I did it!

02/13 142.2 came down a little. Ate good, exercised and drank 1.3 liters of water, 8,000+ steps

02/14 141 I'M happy about this drop, super excited to keep going. Yesterday I ate under Calories, exercised and drank 1.3 liters of water and 6,000+ steps. 6th day sticking to healthy eating and watching my calories. I am dedicated to keep this up and keep going for the duration of the 10 days. No bad days this time around. Restart button is so far working good.

02/15 140.2 cheers to a steady drop! I did good yesterday, even for Valentine's day. I made my man peanut butter cups and mint thins (from scratch) since they are his favorite. While doing this, i licked no spoons and kept my hands to myself, except when they went for Apple slices I had prepared before baking to stop me from snacking. Although by the end of the night i had indulged in couple of small cookies here and a peanut butter cup there (you have to taste to be sure it's good, right?) I stopped and didn't over indulge on the treats, keeping under my calorie goal. I also opted in a vegetable plate rather then the burgers and fries I made him. Overall a nice night. Worked out good and greatful it wasn't worse then it could have been

...This will be my first round....weighing daily is stressing me right now. ...Hope to see a better number tomorrow. ....scale is making me crazy!!! Absolutely no good reason for going up!...

Hi Joan, our ages, weights and goals, really similar. I have been doing this challenge for months, more on than off, including in maintenance for a while. Everyone's gotta find their happy place, but for me getting to know what the daily fluctuations do or do not mean is very freeing, and that is one reason I love this thread. I not only weigh every day, I record on MFP every day so I can get this chart. The straight lines are either trips away from scale, or deliberate self-sabotage LOL. You can see when I was succeeding, and you can see why I came crawling back

Weight varies, but I average out the weight for the round and it trends down if I am doing the right things to lose.

@quiltingjaine @SheilaBoneham OMG OMG I totally just added the Janet McPhail books to my Goodreads “want to read” list. Now I am up to 150+ books. I finished 90+ in my 2018 reading challenge. Goal is 80 this year.

02/13 180.8 Hmm I adjusted my calories slightly to see if that helps. How long do you normally give it before making adjustments? In the 20 days I’ve been back to using mfp I’ve lost 1.2 pounds.
💗02/14💗 179.4 Woo hoo! Back to round 67 start weight! We're on a budget this Valentine's Day, so we're celebrating at home. I'm making a steak dinner tonight. 🙂 Have a great day everyone!

02/15 179.4 Stayed within calories yesterday and macros were a bit off to enjoy valentine goodies, but overall it was a good day!

2/12- 166.2. 60 mins 'fat burn' on treadmill. 21K+ on Fitbit. Calories and tracking in range. Constantly feeling fatigued - work is doing a number on me, looking forward to 4 day weekend.
2/13- 166.2 Did not exercise this morning. Pouring rain and more tomorrow, so no trail walking for me this weekend - treadmill is getting tedious Calories a little over but tracked it all.
Also ordered a Fitbit Versa last night, updating from my Charge 2. Hope it's a good buy!
2/14- 165.6 60 mins treadmill but 21K steps after a chaotic day at work. Valentine's day with kids is interesting - added to that, severe rain storms on and off all day. Exhausted!
2/15- 165.4 90 mins treadmill. Rain stopped, long weekend off - yay! New Fitbit Versa working great...love it so far.

Hi! I know it's a few days in, but hope it's ok if I join. I'm coming back to myfitnesspal after a hiatus and I've found it really helps keep me on track with logging my food if I have something to be accountable to

02/15: Indulged in Starbucks this morning and then had far too much cheesy pasta for lunch. Not exactly a great start, but I intend to improve.

A start is a start! Today will be better!

@ashnjackson13, I like the sticker chart! 😀 You should have seen my restart. Not pretty, but I kept going and my eating improved. Starting is what's important. The rest falls in line.

Thank you for the encouraging words. And yes, I liked the sticker chart too! I might be far too motivated by stickers for a grown woman

ROUND 68 (Round 13 for me)
5’5” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 135 lb.
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-67 = 38.4 lb.
NSVs: Besides wearing smaller clothing and my wedding band fitting now, my blood pressure has been lower on my last couple of doctor visits and when I’ve checked it at home.
I like you folks, and I really appreciate and enjoy your company. Besides, I’m not sure I can stay on track without you!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 137.2 I only ended with a .2 lb. loss last round, but I’m starting this round 2.2 lb. lower than my weight yesterday. My scale likes to torment with me. On a high note, I’ve been experimenting with not logging calories, just following keto guidelines, and I think I can do it. Starting out, I had to track everything, but I think I’ve got the hang of it now. I keep experimenting with keto recipes that appeal to both me and my husband. I just add pasta or rice or potatoes to his meals. I’m trying to reach my GW by the end of this month.
02/13 137.8 Not bad, considering yesterday was a 2 lb. drop and I was up early this morning. After lunch with the Red Hat ladies, I did one tax return, then took Thor on a 6-mile walk. One of our Red Hat ladies, Ruby, celebrated her 85th birthday last week. Ruby is trim and let us know she jogs, because walking is boring. Ruby’s my new role model!
02/14 137.6 Better than nothing. Today, my hip was sore all day. It hurt when I started walking yesterday (from arthritis in back, per my doctor), but I hadn’t experienced hip pain since September, so it took me by surprise. I won’t have time to walk again until Sunday, so I should be all better by then.
02/15 137.4 Slowly, but surely. Hopefully, I’ll get below my start weight before the end of the round, but probably not tomorrow. It will be an early day to leave for a couple of concerts 2 ½ hours away. It will probably be close to midnight before I get home tomorrow evening—long day ahead. Time for bed now! Hope everyone has a great weekend of fun and relaxation, but not overeating or over-drinking! 😊

02/14 80.9kg and again! Keto kicking in for week 6.
02/15 80.9kg it stuck. Horrible run this morning but mid term break for a whole week starts today.
02/16 80.8kg and had an unplanned, unknown ingredient butter chicken with my friend yesterday. We shared and I didn't eat any of the extras.

02/14 - 228.35lb - starting this round late but thought I might as well start again. Been quite steady just plodding along. I’m so close to 40lb loss but feels like it’s taking forever to actually get there 😅.

Back for another round. Posting weight each morning, and comments for the previous day.
In October 2017 I weighed 158lbs. My aim for 2019 is to reach 155.

JGM10D ~|~ Round 68
I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!
Previous 5 rounds
Daily Goals .
Round 67 ~|~ End goal: <164
11/02: 165.0: Goals: Gentle exercise after my intense 2 days of strength.
Not sure if the stall/increase is because of weekend food choices, increased strength training, or both. It's sometimes a trade-off situation when one decides to work on muscle toning. Looking forward to Round 68.

Round 68 ~|~ End goal: <164
12/02: 165.1: Gaols: ✅ Hmmmm... Still plateauing. Under calories but a relative rest day after Monday exertions.
13/02: 165.1: Goals: Do grocery shopping, gym session, 9000+ steps ✅. Didn't get to gym, but did some circuits at home. Fitting in the gym is problematic this week.
14/02: 164.6: Goals: Well, there it is again! Planning a Leslie Sansone HIIT workout before I head out this afternoon✅. Did w/o plus some flex/strength. Ate most of my exercise calories on Valentine's dinner 😂 so will definitely be holding water in the morning!
15/02: 164.9: Goals: 1 hour gym session ✅ plus some walking later on today. Got in several walks outside between meetings. I'm wondering if the gym session will lead to water retention again.
16/02: 165.2: Goals: Lots of walking playing ingress with my daughters.
THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you. Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
