Round 66: 177 (-2.6)
Round 67: 176.6 (-0.4)

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 / 178 this morning / I'm not discouraged. It's an odd jump so I have a feeling that it will be coming back down soon. My goal for this round is 175 lbs or a little lower. I'm focused and ready.
02/13 / 176.2 / I knew a drop was coming. I just hope I can continue on this path. I've been trying my best to do the right things this round. Worked out last night so needless to say, I'm satisfied.
02/14 / 176.6 / Ate a few too many chocolate chip cookies yesterday. They're one of my weaknesses. I also definitely did not drink enough water.
02/15 / 176.6 / Ended up being only 40 under my calorie goal yesterday. I finally bought another controller for my Xbox 360, so I was able to play my Zumba game with the Kinect. Ahh.. I really missed that game. I know I burnt a lot of calories yesterday so I'm hoping to see the weight start coming down soon!
02/16 / 177
02/17 / 176.6 / Ughhh.. So frustrated with seeing 176 & 177 every day! I have to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
02/18 / 176.4 / I didn't work out yesterday & I did overeat quite a bit. I'm hoping that it doesn't come back to bite me later. Either way today is a new day & I'm ready to try again.
02/19 / 176.2 / Slow & steady. Tried to eat as close to calories as possible. I also had a pretty good workout yesterday. My mind is refocused.

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!
02/16 178.8 Was off yesterday and I'm back work for the weekend. Have a great day everyone!
02/17 179.2 Up and down.
02/18 178 I'm off of work the next couple of days and I'm feeling motivated to get some exercise! I haven't really done any in a couple of months. I went for a walk yesterday and it felt pretty good!

02/19 177.4 I'm a bit surprised since I had Chipotle for lunch yesterday! I was within calories, but sodium was way over. I'll take it!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 202.4 - working on eating healthy and exercise

02/13 201.8 - lots of walking and good food choices yesterday. Today is a snow day, I will need to keep away from comfort food and get on the treadmill

02/14 201.2 - high carb day yesterday, today I will add more water and add 5 more minutes of exercise

02/15 199.8 lots of water and physical activity yesterday- focused today on water, eating proper sized portions, exercise, and sleeping

02/16 199 had a great day yesterday - getting some long overdue cleaning and decluttering done, baked cookies and kept to my plan.

Away for the night for work. (No scale for the morning, I will weigh in on Monday) today's goal increase water and exercise.

* (I amended my gw for this round, so very happy to have joined- I expect now that I am less bloated I will lose more slowly.)

02/17 no scales, away for work

02/18 199 glad to have stayed the same, eating out is challenging when choices are made by committee back to lots of water and healthy choices today

02/19 198.5 I had to increase my exercise to burn off the extra calories from holiday weekend treats. It seemed to work. 🔆

02/19 139.6 lb. Kinda disappointed to see I'm back up almost a pound. I did a long difficult hike yesterday, and I thought I would see a dip in the scale. Is it normal to not see the numbers go down the next day? I'm trying to stay positive. I drank my 32 oz of water before bed last night, ate within my goal, and did my yoga.

Yes. In fact, it's normal to see the numbers go up for a day or two if you've done a workout that is more challenging than usual, or using muscles you don't usually use/work so hard. Those muscles will retain water whilst repairing. It'll be water weight, and it'll likely drop back off again after a day or two

2/12- 175.8 Try to stay under calories and doing weights at the gym.
2/13- No scale I did not end up going to the gym last night. I did not eat a regular breakfast/lunch because of driving and meetings. When I got here my blood sugar was low and I was shaky, so I ate an early dinner and went for an indoor walk instead. I can do the gym tonight, though the weather is so nice I might just walk again. As long as I'm moving I feel I'm going in the right direction.
2/14- No scale I walked in a lovely new place called Tower Park. Got in a little over 3 miles. It's been awhile since I've done 4 it's been too cold or too dark. Ate well yesterday though sodium is high because I'm eating out every meal (work travel). I don't have a scale but my hands are a little puffy so I know I'm retaining water. I'm going a day early due to bad weather tomorrow morning so back to the scale and regular food. I think I should be able to stop and walk a trail along the Missouri river. I've done it once before and it was awesome! Maybe a pic tomorrow... Remind me not to be sad when my scale has an outrageous number on it.
2/15- 177.1 I knew it would be up due to sodium and 4 hours sleep. I feel good about yesterday. I ate within calorie goal and walked 3.5 miles. I did get to go to the fantastic trail. When I got there it was 57 when I drove away an hour and ten minutes later it was 39 and the wind was biting. I did get some cool pics I put below. The first you can barely see the entry of the tunnel all the way to the right, then in the middle and finally the other side. I also did C25K Week3day1 without stopping. I was straight up panting but I didn't stop.
2/16- 177.2 wrong direction...
2/17- 178.1 Another crappy day. Bad weather yesterday and today. My only exercise yesterday was shoveling the driveway.
2/18- 179.0 I know it has to be water. I haven't been over on calories in days. I walked 3 miles yesterday and trust the process.
2/19- No scale I am on the road again. I was over yesterday. I went over calorie goal by 421. I never do that but I was stuck in the car for 7 hours and when I finally stopped to eat I was starving. I didn't eat enough veggies or get enough sleep. Not feeling my best self. I'm not going to have a scale until possibly Friday depending on how the trip goes.

Been a year since I've last committed to this and now the weight has come back with a vengeance. Well, so have I!
Trying out some new exercises (signed up for rock climbing!) this time, hopefully everything goes smoothly. Thank you for starting this thread

Note: I weigh-in in the mornings for consistency, so my comments will be more or less about the day before. Cheers!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/12 -132.0 Rock climbing 2.5hr, jogging 1.5mi, small cool down core workout. Was good with calories until roommate tempted me with a homemade muffin ... it was delicious!

02/13 - 131.6 The crazy snowfall yesterday (weather warning in effect) coupled nicely with my rest day. Things outside are clearing up now and I've got no excuses on that front.
02/14 - 132.6 Whooo I blame this totally on the simply atrocious amount of snacks brought into the office today (someone got chocolates for the team!), and the fact that I had to stay in the said office until 7pm

got in a good 1.8 mi run and some core workouts though so it wasn't all too bad. Also modified the rough GW, 3 lb seem much more reasonable
02/15 - 131.8 Was feeling kinda down due to our monthly office "Mix-and-Mingle" event - ate some pretty unhealthy stuff

But what the heck, at least I didn't have any alcohol (the calories in those things!). Had a nice long 2.5hr rock climbing session, made up 2 lvl 9 climbs that I couldn't before, and killed a lvl 8 that was giving me a hard time earlier this week

. Went home and supplemented the power workout with a 2mi run and quick 10min cool down core exercise.
02/16 - [ski trip, no weigh-in]
02/17 - [ski trip, no weigh-in]
02/18 - 131.6 phew! What a trip. The hills were chunks of ice after the bouts of freezing rain we've been having, but I'm glad to have gotten in one more trip this season. Glad to be home!
02/19 - 132.8 darn! I guess that's what I get for sitting on my butt for two days. Hard to get motivation to move when it's that time of the month. It's also a mental block, I suppose, when this round is getting close to the end and I'm back at where I was at the beginning! Got a nice run planned for today though, and thinking about it makes me feel slightly better.

Day/Weight/Comment

2/12 - 142
Iced in this morning but I'm hoping to get to the Y this afternoon for treadmill/bike time. I did my new weight training routine with several added machines yesterday - it now takes me 40 minutes. Feels good when I'm finished!

2/13 - 142.4
I didn't make it to the Y yesterday - didn't make it out of the house! - but I'm going now. I ate responsibly yesterday. All good. (Will be better when warmer weather arrives!)

2/14 - 142
I gave in to an urge for CheezIts last night, so salt + extra calories. Why does nibbling accompany creativity? (I'm starting a new book in a new mystery series, so I really, really want snacks! And I was writing in the back of my friend's watercolor class - creative energy everywhere - and there's a vending machine down the hall and I had just enough change and....)

Time to make myself some baby carrot + hummus packets, I guess! But I digress....Today I will try valiantly to resist whatever Valentine temptations show up today - maybe one truffle? - and try to focus on other expressions of love besides (shhhhh - whisper -- chocolate...). I started baking (a new-to-me obsession) before Christmas and I'm still at it, learning to bake yeast breads among other things but I'm trying to channel the urge into soups and such. Last night I made a delish chicken/turkey pot pie, cutting the calories WAY down by using almond milk, half the butter, and skipping the bottom crust. Still comforting on a cold, raw, windy night, but only 350 calories/serving. I've never been very domestic so I don't quite know what hit me! Off to the Y to burn some of it off. Have a lovely!

2/15 - 143
Chocolate. People brought chocolate to painting group last night and I apparently no longer have any self control. then I needed something salty to counteract the sweets when I got home, so cheese....Extra time at the gym today maybe? Salad? Seriously, back to paying attention. This must stop!

2/16 - 142.4
Today's a challenge -- barbecue chicken fundraiser for lunch and a "soup & games" night with friends, which will, of course, offer more than soup. But hopefully I'll get to the Y to work a little of it off. I'm actually a bit surprised that I'm holding steady considering how much I've been eating. And although I have since reset my goal to a lower number, my original goal was 140, +/- 2 lbs, so I'm not too far out of bounds. But I'm channeling my kitchen urges into lightening up favorite recipes. I should just stay out of the kitchen for a couple of months - my hubby is much more lean with his cuisine. Have a great weekend, all!

2/17 - 142
I'm surprised, since I snacked a bit at the soup gathering last night. But I did stick to the vegetable soup, which was delicious. So I'm still hoping to be down a bit more by the end of the round. Enjoy Sunday!

2/18 - 142.2
Boy, I hate when I hit Done instead of Post Reply after I type an update on my iPad. You'd think I'd learn! Anywho, off to the Y for a workout and then to a lunch talk on bees. Pasta lunch, but I have salad lined up for supper. Have a great start to the week, all!

2/19 - 142.8
The bee talk and pasta lunch were great and I didn't overdo, but sadly I did later in the day. I've developed a bad night-time snacking problem. I blame the cold weather & my inner urge to fatten up for hibernation! Off now to the Y to work some of it off, I hope.

Yesterday I did a 9 mile trail run and felt great! I'm excited to finally be able to run longer distances without pain. Last year I suffered from cronic Achilles tendonits.
Can't believe it's almost been another ten days! This challenge flys by! I'm crossing my fingers I can stay at this weight (or lower) for two more days! 🤞

I 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 My average loss/gain since Round 40 to 63 is a 0.5lb loss each round. This was better than I expected!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/12 …..185.4 ….. Travel at the end of the round for some overnight medical trips will not allow me to do the last few days weigh-ins (unless weather causes me to cancel trip). This will be a tough round but I’ll do my best. My stats for yesterday: 708 Calories in / 2648 calories out. Net carbs 7. IF 16:8 A total of 19,105 steps which included a planned walk. 8.22 Total miles for the day. 13/13 fitbit step hours. I danced for 37 minutes & I walked indoors at moderate pace for 69 minutes. My sample song was “Footloose” by Kenny Loggins. A great high-paced peak song. Good Luck everyone on this round.
02/13 …..185.2….. Yesterdays stats: 848 Calories In / 2454 Calories out. 11 Net Carbs which was mainly my Cauliflower Rice casserole. 14,440 steps & 6.11 Total miles. I spent a bit of time briskly walking up & down long hallway (on purpose) during some of the calls to get my steps in. IF: 17:7 I completed 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours and 11 minutes which was very refreshing. I walked 50 minutes & danced 44 minutes. Sample song was “Lighthouse” by Ziggy Marley.
02/14 …..185.4….. Plans for today: Stats: 1061 Calories In / 2492 Calories Out. 16 Net Carbs which was mainly Keto friendly Jalapeno Poppers to help me pump up my calories. 13,144 Total Steps & 5.58 Total Miles. IF: 16:8. I completed 13/13 fitbit step hous. I slept 5 hours & 41 minutes. I walked indoors for 20 minutes & danced for 22 minutes. Sample song was “Last Kiss” by Pearl Jam . (The remake of the oldie). I’m planning a fun day & night. Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!
02/15 ….. 189.0….. Whaaaat????? Yes, I doublechecked it I know I ate over calories & carbs. Too confusing to count. But 3.6 lbs overnight? Hopefully some of it is water so I will work on that today. Calories Out 2344. 10,513 total steps & 4.48 total miles. I did not IF due to afternoon luncheon. I completed 13/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 5 hours & 15 minutes. No time for the dancing yesterday, but I did walk moderate pace outside in the freezing cold for a planned walk which was 41 minutes
02/16 …..189.0….. I still deserve this. Shame on me! Over on calories & carbs again yesterday on an “at home binge”. Likely from the hunger caused by the carbs from V-Day (the day before). Disappointed in self. Hard to count the foods but I know the carbs were well over 100 & the calories were likely over 2000. My best guess is that I stayed within CICO but nowhere near my plan. My calories out were 2394. 10,164 Total Steps & 4.3 Miles. 13/13 fitbit step hours. IF 17:7. I slept 6.39 hours which was likely a sugar crash since I rarely sleep more than 5 hours. I woke up very tired & groggy, feeling like I needed even more sleep. It feels like it’s going to be a miserable day which I have only caused for myself. The junk I ate does not make me feel good. I did get in 25 minutes of aerobic dancing. Sample song “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees which had the perfect beat. Tonight is movie night. A friend is bringing over “Aquaman” which I have not seen yet. I’m a big Superhero fan so this will be good. I will not be eating the popcorn or icecream sundaes.
02/17 …..189.0….. Thank goodness it didn’t go up. An unplanned out-of-town shopping trip found me eating my dinner at a restaurant. I could have made a bit better choices. Movie night found me eating some icecream afterall. Not as much as the others, but I broke my promise to myself. I hope all this does not end up showing up on the scale. Lots of work, as usual, on Sundays so I will be getting lots of steps in. Yesterday stats are too few to figure (again) but best guess is calories around 2000 and carbs over 200 (darn icecream). Calories out 2248. 10,548 steps & 4.4 miles. Completed 09/13 fitbit step hours due to car rides & movie. IF 16:8. Slept 6 hours & 4 minutes, probably a sugar crash as this is way longer than my usual amount. I did fit in a dance yesterday afternoon for 22 minutes. Sample song “Respect” by Aretha Franklin. I hope today to be a better day. Eating carbs creates an uphill battle for days following so I shall bare that burden today.
02/18 …..188.8….. Long day at work yesterday. No chance for exercise or dancing. I didn’t even get a chance to log all my food but I stayed mostly to food plan. Fitbit information: 2448 Calories Out. 12,188 steps & 5.17 miles walking during general work cleaning the cabins. IF 16:8. I slept 4 hours & 48 minutes. Lots of travel coming up which is not good. More derailing. As stated on day 1 of this round, this is a tough round to stay in check for me. Food prepping today so I will have things ready when I get home. Making room in my freezer today. More cabin cleaning so I should easily get my steps in. Have a good week everyone!

02/19 …..188.2….. Finally some progress on the scale! I Cancelled travel plans for the next 3 days due to incoming bad weather. Good day yesterday but could not close out my food log because my calories fell just a bit short of acceptable. I will try to increase calories slightly today but I will be stuck at the salon for a few hours on hair color. Yesterdays Stats: 988 Calories In / 2707 Calories Out. Net Carbs 6. 15,404 Total Steps & 6.55 Total Miles. IF 18:6. 13/13 Fitbit Step hours. I slept 5 hours & 17 minutes. I opted for an indoor walk with a friend instead of dancing. Walked moderate pace 31 minutes. There will be less activity today because of sitting all afternoon at salon but I will try to fit in some dancing.

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

02/16 138.4 a woooosh, i am in the 30s!!!! Yay me!!! I am trying to not get too excited, i just want to see this number for a couple more days before I get excited...be sure it is here for good. I am hoping to have a good weekend because Monday is a holiday here in Ontario, called family day and my whole family is getting together for a brunch. I want to still be good during the brunch but just in case I have few choices, food wise then at least I will only be giving up a day in stead of two. I am still determined to be good for the whole 10 days but we will see, i can only deal with what i have been given. Yesterday I had a rest day exercise wise, did a little over 1 liter of water but ate under Calories. My NSV, I was craving chocolate for four hours yesterday but stayed away...yay me!

02/17 137.4 woooooow!!!! I can't believe it!!! I am now officially 40 + pounds down (although MFP thinks I will hit my 40 pounds in .4 pounds pfffft) THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!! I am hoping to push a little more before the inevitable stop. Soooooo excited. Yesterday I exercised good, ate under Calories and drank 1+ liters of water...hoping I can keep the momentum going

02/18 137.8 i stayed under calories but I had a crazy hot sauce craving so my salt intake was slightly up, i am assuming that is the reason for the gain. I worked out and drank a little over 1 liter of water

02/19 139 yesterday we had a family brunch, at first everything was fine. I had a slice of bacon (haven't had bacon in months) eggs, fruit, smoke samon but as the afternoon wore on, i gave into the bread with butter (I don't eat butter even when I am not watching) and my all or nothing mentality hit, which I am planning on fixing. I am not shocked by the gain but I am happy I am still in the 30s and haven't gone back to the 40s. It will take a few days to retake off, i am assuming but I do hope that I end the 10 days in the 30s and make my goal.

About me: 62, 5'7", hit maintenance in March 2018 but, typical yoyo, currently bouncing way over original goal weight of 130.
GOALS THIS ROUND (reporting on all the "yesterdays":

under calorie goal 9/10 days: 6/10 so far
over 8K steps 9/10 days: 6/10 so far
three strength workouts: 1/3 so far
four cardio workouts: 3/4 so far

2/12 - 132.6 - under calories yesterday. Whew, it was food and water I was carrying lol! Was not feeling well yesterday so light on steps.
2/13 - 132.4 - way under calories yesterday, my fitbit didn't sync till the last minute! Yesterday 10K steps and a 25 minute video workout: heart rate was high and muscles are sore, so I can't decide if it was cardio or strength

2/14 - 133.2 - bounce expected. Under calorie goal, 8K steps.
2/15 - 133.4 - under calorie goal yesterday, 11K steps, and I RAN 2.5 MILES. With the dog in the rain.
2/16 - 132.6 - under calorie goal and 10K steps. Got to get with my plan about actual workouts though! Still, super happy about how my mini goals for this round are motivating me to do that little bit extra.
2/17 - 133.2 - yesterday under calorie goal, 11K steps, 30 minute rowing workout.
2/18 - 132.8 - yesterday over maint calories, only 3K steps. Cumulative bad sleep got to me.
