@MadisonMolly2017 Your bloodwork and other health numbers are so inspiring!
@kklawrence92 I've only just discovered the pattern to my weight loss. What you say about sticky numbers is something I've been noticing in my pattern as well. It was frustrating me before, but now that I see the plateaus and bounces are part of the progress, I'm a little less bothered by it.
@amfmmama amazing loss!
@hoshaugh73 have a great hike with your kids! We have a rainy weekend, so trying to figure out our game plan.
@puttyputty that's incredible!! Congratulations!!5 -

2/22 145.7 last round was tough for me, even though the ending numbers are fine. I struggled through a small bounce and a few days of no scale movement. And spent a lot of time trying to keep myself on track with my eating choices, which haven't always been great. I was tempted to forget logging. The visuals of the long term weight loss trends that people post in the forums with all their peaks and valleys on the way to goal weight really help keep me going. Yesterday was a great day. I earned my promotion to blue belt in jiu-jitsu! The scale showed me a new number today. All good things!
2/23 146.1
2/24 145.6
2/25 145.1
2/26 143.9 A small woosh. Not sure form where and I'm sure it will bounce up a bit tomorrow. No matter. I worked out this morning and took a long shower. Feeling pretty good today. Jiu-jitsu this evening, and I need to figure out dinner.
2/27 143.5 No bounce! I had two hard workouts yesterday and my chest muscles are screaming.
2/28 142.7 having a good run this week. Trying to temper my excitement in the same way I try to temper the disappointment when the scale goes up or doesn't move. Like, when I look at my graph, you can see the peaks and valleys and I'd like to know what the next peak will be and how much lower it is compared to the last one, if that makes sense. This week the weight is coming off a little too fast and not entirely sure why. I'm gonna chalk it up to hormones. 🤷♂️ Things that are going well: I've been working out really hard. My steps are up. I haven't been hungry this week. And my body fat percentage has been slowly but steadily dicreasing. Challenge for the road ahead is that I'm getting close to my happy weight were I am perfectly fine with how I look and feel, even if it could be better. Around here I tend to loosen up. Start drinking more and indulging more and working out less. Maintain is my long term goal and the one I've not approached with any effort in the past. Sorry for the ramble this morning and thank you to anyone who decided to read.
3/01 143 I took my boys to a matinee yesterday and had some of their popcorn. Not the best decision, but I didn’t stuff myself and I still stayed within my calories. I’m enjoying the rewards I got myself for hitting the 15 pound mark this weekend. New workout gear including cute rash guards for jiu-jitsu and a silicon wedding band so I don’t have to worry about my real rings.
3/02 143 fell off the no sugar bandwagon yesterday as I had to "taste" the pastries I was making all evening. Legit tasted more than necessary. Stayed within my calories as best as I can tell, but slept poorly and don't feel great this morning. I'm going to jiu-jitsu training today and have leg day lifting this afternoon. Going to a party tonight, and have no game plan. I need a game plan, especially something to replace alcohol because I really don't want to spend the evening drinking. Especially since I am on solo kid duty due to the husband leaving the country for work.

02/25 - 244.8 did great today!! Over 25,000 steps, a good solid arm workout, and under calories.
02/26 - 244.6 - today was really stressful, one of my foster dogs bit a kid (said kid is fine, but still). I did not get to the gym, and stopped tracking calories after lunch 🤦♀️🤦♀️ I did pull out my exercise trampoline to get the last 2500 steps, so at least I hit my daily goal there.
02/27 - 245.1 I ate mostly okay, but did have the chocolate pudding hubby made from scratch, so no idea on the calories for that. I hit my step goal, but excitingly I jogged a mile on the treadmill at the gym!! It was in 2 half-mile increments, but for me and my asthma, that’s huge. My heart rate got way up there (177), but my I didn’t need to use my inhaler after, so that’s a huge improvement for me!!
02/28 - 244.5 got a good amount of steps today, and a lot of chores done. 20,000+ steps! On the downside, we went to the gym before dinner, but then got McDonalds on the way home 🤦♀️🤦♀️ I tried to be balanced, and got a burger and a shamrock shake for later (but no meal) and I had oranges with the burger at home.
03/01 - 244.1 hit my steps yesterday and went to the gym. Ate well until dinner, when I had way too many tacos 🤦♀️ but I think I didn’t drink enough water, so I’m going to focus on that today!
03/02 - 243.6 (at least a downward motion again!)

I’ve been bopping around in the low 160’s for months. Last round I worked on getting my head in a different space as far as eating (trying to look at portions as I would have in my 20’s – i.e. much smaller is plenty) and upping my exercise. My gym exercise is about the same but I’m trying to not allow myself to just sit doing crafts, computer or reading without breaking it up with some movement.
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 – 161.8 -
02/23 – 162 – Good day yesterday for sticking with financial stuff that had to get done but ended up not moving as much as planned. Kept within cals. though and logged.
02/24 – 162 – Got in some home exercise but only about 20 min.
02/25 – 161.6 – Did not track cals. but think they were pretty good. No movement except for grocery shopping. Then did some online shopping for a pattern book, out of print a few years ago, and found it at a decent price – dithered & looked some more – you never know if you’ll find it at some library sale for $.50 or if this is your last chance to get it. Finally bought it because I want to make the pattern on the cover, although the exchange from USD to CAD is awful, and realized it’s 1 a.m.! But I got so caught up in my looking that no LNS and went to bed a little hungry.
02/26 – 161.8
02/27 – 161.6 – Gym today, finally. Maybe that will give me a little extra kick going down. Think I’m going to set up a couple of new knitting and embroidery projects – if I don’t have anything like that going, I tend to surf online for my downtime and that inevitably leads to snacking. I used to be terrible about snacking while reading – handwork is so much better because you can’t eat or your project gets grimy with fingerprints.
02/28 – 162 – Good day yesterday. Lots of determination to log everything after reading posts on a different thread and realizing that I was guessing too much of the time – then when I went to do it the website was under maintenance … oh well, on course for today.
03/01 – 162
03/02 – 162.4 – Good day at the gym yesterday. Upped my cardio resistance and weights a bit so am a little sore today but feels great. Logged all yesterday. Supper included a ½ of a large premade hamburger which our local grocery store makes – very yummy but also full of salt. So I’m guessing that my extra weight is water. We’ll see tomorrow. Today planning to make large batch of bread and mop floors so that should be good for some movement.

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 -213.6 Not surprised about increase since I weight lifted yesterday, the trainer has already increased the intensity on some of the training we are doing. Went to nutritionist and she said I can incorporate eggs into my diet!!! I am so excited, but there is a process on how to incorporate the eggs, so I am going to have to plan when I eat the eggs. She also said that over the next 4 weeks I can incorporate a couple of the other foods that I'm not too sensitive to see how they affect me. Who knew I would be so excited about eggs.
02/23 -213.6 Didn't drink a lot of water yesterday and ate way too much for dinner, but I had a great sleep. Went to the gym to do my training this morning, it was the first time I worked out by myself since I started working with my trainer. It's funny how much my trainer's voice was in my ear as I was working out. I'm going to run some errands and then off to the symphony tonight.
02/24 -213.4
02/25 -214.7 Forgot to post yesterday because I woke up late and had to rush to get my run in before my husband and I drove over to see the in-laws. I successfully finished W5D3, which is the 20 minute run, and I felt great. Then we drove 1 1/2 hours to get to the in-laws and I barely drank any water yesterday. I did incorporate eggs into my diet for the first time in over 3 months, so now I am supposed to wait and see if I have any reactions over the next 72 hours, so far so good. It's sunny outside, the first time in a couple of days, and my first thought, even though today is not my run day, is that it would be a great day to go for a run...I think I may just go ahead and go for a run. 
02/26 -213.6 Didn't go for a run yesterday. Personal trainer tonight.
02/27 -212.7 Went to trainer last night, I was so exhausted at the end of the session. My hope is to go running and/or yoga tonight. So far no adverse reaction to the eggs I ate almost 3 days ago.
02/28 -213.1
03/01 -212.9 My weight is really fluctuating over the last 2-3 weeks, but I am taking it as a new weightlifting routine and the fact that I am running more. My clothes are looser and I'm getting stronger, so in the end that's what matters. Crisp and sunny day today makes a great day for running.
03/02 -211.8 Went out for a run yesterday and finished w6d1. I went to gym today to workout on my own. Another great crisp sunny day today, so I will take dog out for a walk later today and do some errands.

Female, 29, 5'3"
SW: 156 lbs (May 2018)
CW and BMI: 126.3 lbs, 22.3
GW and BMI: 116 lbs, 20.5
02/22: 126.3 lbs * I'm having a terrible time losing the last 10lbs, so I'd love to join in for a little daily motivation!
02/23: 126 lbs * Stayed within my calories yesterday, but I'm definitely not drinking enough water. I'm going to try and up my water intake today and prepare for a little water weight gain tomorrow.
02/24: 125.3 lbs * No water weight gain, but I still don't think I drank enough water yesterday. Still more than normal, but it's something I need to consciously work on. I'm so happy for the little dip in weight since I was super tempted to binge on my favourite pre-MFP snack last night and opted instead for a nice filling dinner (within my calories!). Waking up and seeing the number go down reminded me that indulging last night would have ruined my excitement this morning and I would have likely seen the scale go up a pound or two instead of down. I think my slow weight loss over the past couple months is from allowing myself to get away with Saturday snacking too much. I need to save my 'fun nights' for special dinner dates with my husband and overnight trips instead of munching away by myself on my computer. I'm feeling very successful today, hoping to keep it going!
02/25: 125 lbs * I'm so thrilled that I've lost 4 days in a row. I haven't had this much success in a while. It will definitely even out soon - I can't lose every day! I was super excited about my loss this morning because I had a pre-planned McDonald's dinner last night (well within my calories) and I didn't come home and snack once I was finished. It's nice having a treat once in a while that doesn't derail my progress and that fits into my daily calories. Good habits are starting to stick!
02/26: 124.5 lbs * I got off and on the scale so many times because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I didn't think this number would show up for quite a while. Hopefully I wont be seeing 125.5+ again anytime soon, but who knows. Feeling really encouraged to keep going at 120%.
02/27: 124.5 lbs * It had to slow down at some point! I'm so happy to be at this weight for another day. I was having the hardest time for a couple months focusing on my diet and this challenge is doing so much for keeping me accountable for each day. Feeling really awesome!
02/28: 124 lbs * I haven't had this successful of a week for months! I've stuck to my calories completely and drank lots of water this week and it's made such a difference. I'm really starting to notice improvements in areas of my body that I was still feeling really insecure about. I wasn't sure if 116 lbs was going to be my final goal weight, but I'm thinking it's probably going to be right on the nose for where I'll want to be in the end.
03/01: 124.8 lbs * I knew this was coming, it had to even out eventually. I stayed within my calories yesterday, ate healthy, but did not drink enough water. As in.... I didn't realise until almost 7PM that all I'd had to drink yesterday was a small cup of tea. And this was after a lot of walking. So I definitely know what to do differently today. Still feeling awesome (if not a little dehydrated)!
03/02: 125 lbs * A bit frustrating but it's alright. I stayed within my calories yesterday, drank my water, not much more I can do than that. Trusting the process!

02/27 134.2 – walked just under 12 miles yesterday – I love to walk and and try to do at least 8 miles everyday – weather permitting!! Looking forward to the challenge of a new day
02/28 134.2 – walked just under 10.5 miles yesterday and did an hour's yoga class – eat 1679 calories, earned 1082 exercise calories, calorie credit 743.
03/01 135 – only just over 6.and a half miles walked yesterday before driving up 60 odd miles to spend the day with my two baby grandchildren their mommies – also had lunch out and large piece of caramac chocolate cake. Nice to see familiar names from another challenge I'm in !
03/02 134.2 Almost 10 ½ miles walk yesterday, well in credit with calories !!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22: 227.8: 14,347 steps, started couch to 5k again (last time I hurt myself and couldn't keep up the running). Got in running/walking time, some weights, jacuzzi/pool time, went out for dinner and walk around town even though there is still ice and snow on the ground!
02/23: 227.8: 4,682 steps, I had to work the dayshift and I was unable to get to the gym before it closed. But watched my calories and made sure not to overeat while at work, which is an amazing feat in of itself.
02/24: 224.4: Steps are still counting for the day but they are going to be low. My hip has been out again and causing tremendous pain down my leg. I am going to make it tomorrow no matter what and try and walk it out. I was happy with my loss. Getting back into the grove of my diet always shows tremendous gains (or losses!). I just have to be mindful while eating at ork and not overeat.
02/25: 227.1: I knew there was going to be a gain. With no gym and barely any moving around yesterday I just couldn't see how sitting around and eating would help. I am off to do shopping and the gym before heading to work, so hopefully back on losing weight train. I think I overate at dinner and at too much salad and chicken, who knew but I didn't stop when I was full. I need to be more aware of that, especially at work.
02/26: 222.7: 10,478 steps, I actually did Wk1/D2 of the C25k program and I did it outside, it was the first time I have run outside since I was a teenager. I was quite mindful of what I was eating and to stop when I was full and I didn't eat after 8pm while sitting at work, which is a huge hurdle for me. It is difficult to be at work until midnight and not pick at something for several hours. I am feeling good about the loss, but always confused about the large decreases, but as long as I am trending down!
02/27: 221.3: 5,473 steps, I tried my best to be good eating yesterday. I stayed under my calories and split lunch with my boyfriend (spicy and sour soup and cashew chicken without rice). It is so much easier having someone with me who is also following a similar "diet." I wasn't able to make it to the gym or otherwise and today I finally have an appointment with an orthopedic doctor to look at my hip and back after being in pain for a year. I guess it is time to take care of it!
02/28: 222.4:
03/01: no weigh-in: no update. I was away today and this morning so I was unable to weigh in. Definitely ate a little too much last night and I can feel it today. Getting back on track!
03/02: 224.3: I am on a weird upward swing, but I am still down from my starting during this challenge so I am very happy about that. I have been under calories and hitting the gym so that is good.

GOALS THIS ROUND reporting on all the "yesterdays":- under calorie goal 9/10 days: 5/10 so far
- over 8K steps 9/10 days: 7/10 so far
- three strength workouts: 1/3 so far
- four cardio workouts: 2/4 so far
2/22 - 133.2 - Yesterday under calorie goal for .5 lb weekly loss, got 8K steps.
2/23 - 133.2 - yesterday at calorie goal, 8K steps.
2/24 - 134.2 - Yesterday over calorie goal and didn't even log
but, got 16K steps in spite of driving 300 miles, a number of those steps in short .25 to .5 runs with the dog.
2/25 - 135.6 - exhausted and mostly sedentary yesterday, 5K steps. Overate, didn't even log. Tried a 10 minute row but that was all I had. Today, up again and take another. There is a reason that Oliver Goldsmith quote is at the top of my posts.
2/26 - 133.8 - yesterday under my calorie goal, 8K steps. Raining hard in NorCal!
2/27 - 133.0 - yesterday under calories and: rainsoaked walk-run with dog, 27 minute row, and a body-weight strength workout, 8K steps total.
Unfortunately left me in a place where the office break-table breakfast looked better than mine, so I already have eaten over half my calorie allowance in one stupid Costco muffin, WHO KNEW?!?!?
Live and learn .......
2/28 - 133.0 - yesterday logged, a bit over maintenance, 10K steps and some casual strength work and stretching that I am not really going to count as a "workout" but better than nothing!
3/1 - 134.0 - yesterday WAAY over calories, 6K steps and a lot of emo, short on sleep. MEH.
3/2 - 132.2 - yesterday right at calories for loss plan, 9K steps.

at the end of May. It's good for me to have exercise goals too.
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 197.2 it really does help to exercise and not eat late at night 😄. Good start for the next ten days but the weekend is coming up and I have plans to eat out tomorrow and the husband is home this weekend, we are on opposite scales of eating, I just need to stay disciplined. Happy weekend all!!
02/23 198.8 expected. My Friday cheat day I really took advantage of and no exercise.
02/24 200.8 hopefully I got all my junk eating out of the way. Back on track today already this morning with my smoothie. ☺️
02/25 201.8. Ok, still paying for my bad choices this weekend, but it’s Monday!! Back on track, for real.
02/26 199.4. Going back in the right direction! It was hard not having a dessert last night (I did have a couple spoons of cool whip 🙃) the sugar cravings are really strong at night again.
02/27 199.2 I little loss, I’m not going to make my goal for this round if I don’t get my butt in gear. There’s too much going on after work this week so I’ve been thinking I need to have a morning routine that includes exercise but I hate getting up any earlier than I have to in the morning. Ugh! It’s all in my head, I just need to believe it’s worth it because this weight isn’t going anywhere without exercise. I can set exercise goals too and that doesn’t matter either, the excuses are bigger! Ok. That’s the end of my whining 😬
02/28 198.0
03/01 198.2. Last day at current job, so lots of goodbye junk. Not sure I’ll even make it back down to my beginning round weight, because here comes the weekend again... oh well.

Feb 23 152 I did OK yesterday, better on the 21st. But today, Feb 23, I’m really struggling with food, as I did Feb 19-20. First time in 15 months. Not sure why it changed. Also very tired, struggling with exercise- today is the first day in 11 months I haven’t done dedicated exercise. It’s very odd. My toes & fingers are tingling, hot, cold, or pins & needles & have been since Feb 19. No idea why. Called dr, and they are not concerned as all my labs are great. I hope it will all go away, and I’ll get back to normal.
UPDATE: After typing this, I just couldn’t skip my daily exercise. I also thought a walk might help the symptoms. Asked my husband to walk with me 9-10 pm. Appreciative that he loves to walk & happily said yes! Habits are amazing.
Feb 24 153.4 Got back on track because of MFP UAC Group.
Feb 25 151 2nd day in a row with a calorie deficit. Walked over 13K, feeling like myself again❣️Appetite is back to normal. 2 days down, 3 to go.
Feb 26 151.6! Struggling with urges a bit, but keeping busy & not giving in.
Feb 27 150.8 I have to remember when it’s hardest is when I lose the most. Curbed the eating out, finally. Sodium is still a bit too high but steadily decreasing day by day. Took along hilly hike!
Feb 28 152.6
1. sodium is STILL too high.
2. two hour steep climb fast non-stop hike 4:30-6:30 last night: retains water in my ever-stronger muscles
3. Vagaries of scale
4. Early weigh in
I know I’m on track & eating/exercising far better❣️Have a wonderful day❣️
Mar 1 154.2 Not really sure what is up. I’m carrying on. Will see what scale says tomorrow... I’m not giving up!
ALL of my labs are excellent.
** I‘ve been off a bp med for 16 mos. & my bp is 110/67.
** I’ve been off a statin for the same time period, & my HDL is the highest of my life!! ** All the cholesterol numbers are also optimal & give me low risk of cardiac event.
** triglycerides are 88
** HA1C = 4.5, blood glucose in 70’s
** kidney & liver Great!
I can believe that walking daily can make us so much healthier❣️
I can feel I’m building muscle. I’ll watch the scale & take action as needed!!
Mar 2 154.2 Second day in a row. 😳Drinking lots of water, walking, continuing to watch/track what I eat. Not freaking out. If it continues I’ll go into “True Diet Mode” on Monday.

02/22: 207.4 - Still sick, but DS is feeling better so I finally got a decent night sleep. Hoping to see a continued downward trend as I get well. 📉
02/23: 206.8 - Slowly on the mend. Guest leaves tomorrow, then I’ll officially be back in a deficit. ✈️
02/24: 206.0 - Looks like I must have overestimated some of our meals out this week because I’m still dropping despite theoretically being at maintenance. Few restaurants here are in the database & none post nutritional info. 🧮
02/25: 205.0 - Finally feeling better! Looks like I’m dropping some water weight that my body held on to while I was sick. 💧
02/26: 204.4 - Still dropping. Awesome! 🤩
02/27: 204.8 - Looks like my body found where it wants to be for now. I always follow this pattern when I have a “whoosh”: I drop for several days, then it settles just above my lowest. 💭
02/28: 204.8 - Same as yesterday. Split a meatball calzone with DS today for lunch... it’ll be interesting to see how that impacts tomorrow’s weigh-in. 🍕
03/01: 204.2 - Glad not to see a spike; guess I drank enough to overcome yesterday’s sodium. Today my teeth & jaw hurt (sinus infection) so I’m thinking it may be a soup kind of day... 🍜
03/02: 203.0 - Yesterday suuuucked. Fortunately today is much better; no pain, just a bit of stuffiness & stiffness. I fully anticipate a bump in the scale tomorrow since I hardly ate yesterday. 👌🏼
03/03: 204.2 - Was able to eat yesterday, AF arrived today. If that’s the extent of my “bump” I’ll take it! 🤷🏻♀️

02/22: 201.4 Hurt my back today. It’s made my appetite go down. It’s painful to get around and I’m ready for this to be over.
02/23: 201.4 Back pain has caused me to eat less than I should have. Just don’t feel well. Hopefully back to normal tomorrow.
02/24: 201.9 Back still bothering me.
02/25: 201.3 My back is slowly getting better. I’m actually surprised I haven’t gone off my WOE because of it. Actually quite proud of myself.
02/26: 200.5 Back feels better but I’m being very careful with it. Been eating on plan but did indulge in some whip cream yesterday.
02/27: 200.8 Ate peanut butter yesterday. I try to stay away since I can easily over eat it. I really should get it out of the house. Determined to eat better today.
02/28: 200.8 Eating on plan. Still having twinges in my back so being very careful with it. Really itching to get out of the 200’s. Hopefully it will happen soon!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/22: 311.00 (-4.5) - New low, always nice! Bit surprised actually, triple checked. Due to this bad cold I'm still only making sure I come in under maintainance. Came in with a decent defecit yesterday though, so we'll see. Basically working on this week being steady. I always struggle when ill to not overeat, maintainance seems a good compromise. I updated my goals again recently, so my calorie goal changes, dropped by 50 a day. I think updating regularly so it's only small drops will be best so I'm not feeling like it's getting more restrictive in larger amounts.
02/23: 309.75 (-1.25) - Guess I'm not past wooshing after all! Still got a cold, but feeling better. I assume this is loss from the weekend catching up.
02/24: 312.75 (+3.00) - Ate nearly to maintainance yesterday, as I went very ill again, and I forgot to weigh until after breakfast. Hopefully be back to a defecit soon.
02/25: 311.75 (-1.00) - An earlier weigh was heavier I think, but I was half asleep and can't remember the number.
So with feeling ill I've just been trying to stay under maintainance calories. Yesterday I ate biscuits and cake and such, again. And I felt awful from it, both from overeating in general and what it was. I'm very much back on the bandwagon today just from how I felt, because that's likely not helping my fatigue. And what's horrifying is 2 months ago, that'd have been a pretty good day. Week, in fact. I ate a pack of biscuits over the week, I'd have eaten them in a day before. And another the next day. It's scary what I've been doing to my body, and how bad it made me feel day to day has just hit me like a truck. How much of my fatigue is currently (and has been before) because I'm not eating well? I love my body more than this.
02/26: 310.5 (-0.75) - in my British stones, 308lbs is 22st, not far off! That's a big milestone, I literally can't remember when I was last under that. Came in fairly low calorie yesterday, keeping my eating light for a bit.
02/27: 311.5 (+1.00) - I forgot to weigh this morning so this is post- lunch. Figured I may as well log it though. That's fine. Had a day about to my goal yesterday, so I'm doing fine. I'm finding these 10 day challenges keep me going, they feel like a great source of support and camaraderie - we all have different goals, some to lose, some to maintain, I think some to gain muscle? But we're all here every day. It's a nice feeling.
02/28: 308.25 (-3.25) - Woosh! Backache has been quite bad for a few days now, I'm headachey, so this is nice to see! I'm under goals etc so it makes sense to keep going down, although I seem to be losing faster than I'd expect. All happiness though! I daresay this will up and down a bit but the trend in Libra is good.
03/01: 308.5 (-0.25) - Getting under 308 is a big goal, nice being so close!
03/02: 310.0 (+1.5) - Normal ups and downs. Late posting today, but I weighed this morning. Having a lot of back pain, and headaches, I think from tension from the back pain. Went over with today's evening meal, so may see this reflected tomorrow. Been very peckish the last couple of days. Pill break has started so the next few days may be rough.

Wt R68: 317.2
Day/Weight/Commment
2/22 - 315.8 - This was nice to see. And I have been sticking to my weighing plan. I’m still a little stressed from the other night; it kinda triggered my PTSD. BUT I am calmer this afternoon. Food has still been good; it’s just been more of a struggle.
2/23 - NW - Yesterday, I was on par with eating, maybe a little light due to being out of the apartment during key eating times. Today, similar thing and I am out of olives, BUT I have a plan. I did a heartbreaking episode of Zombies, Run! yesterday and will do another one today. Since the sun has come out I am going to do it outside instead of pacing in my apartment or walking circles around the community room. As the weather turns to more warm days I will start doing Z5K training, AGAIN, but this time I should be able to finish it. I have hope for more activity in the future.
2/24 - 312.2 - I walked outside yesterday! It's more challenging outside with the ups and downs of the landscape vs the flat ground of the community room or my apartment, and I loved every moment of it. If it's not too cold I'm going to repeat it today, just a supply run not a full episode of Zombies, Run! Food is fairly on point according to the sheet the dietitian gave me. I'm settling down emotionally from the trigger earlier in the week.
2/25 - NW - The temperature dropped, so even though it was sunny I couldn't go outside to walk. I did a supply run on Zombies, Run! for 47 minutes (new record walking), and then later I did an episode of Zombies, Run!. The episode was good and tugged at my heart a little. I also finally learned about project Greenshoot, why runner 5 originally came to Able Township back in season 1. So, it was a good episode. My food supplies are running low, critically low and I have no resources; so, tomorrow my CSS is taking me to Crosslines to pick up some food. I'm not crazy about going to food pantries as it's not a lot healthy stuff, but won't matter if I end up starving either. In the meantime I'm managing to eat healthy based off of what I have on hand.
2/26 - 308.4 - I walked outside again yesterday. I threw on my light covering and went despite the wind. The sun was (and is) shining! The community room was taken by people playing Bingo, and I did not feel like pacing in my apartment when it was so beautiful outside. I stayed to the sheet my dietitian gave me, and it's made a huge difference. I feel better as I am getting my nutrients in, particularly protein.
2/27 - NW - Today was my last day at pulmonary rehabilitation, and I improved by 20% in just six weeks (12 sessions). It was a good workout, lasted about an hour, and I plan on taking advantage of my insurance program to get a membership at the Y. The weather has turned for the worse; so, no more walking outside for awhile. We are getting ice tonight. I did walk outside doing an episode of Zombies, Run!
2/28 - 310.0 - Bit flux up, not sure why, but, eh, not worried about it either; I mean I'm still down 7 pounds in seven days. I plan on doing two episodes of Zombies, Run! today. I'm curious how we come out of being surrounded by 500 zombies being controlled by a madman. I'm not going outside, I can see the ice on the trees which mean slick sidewalks. I have to go out tomorrow as I have an appointment and need to get money orders for rent and cable/Internet. Nutrition is doing good.
3/01 - NW - Holy busy day. I woke up at 7 and took the med that has to be taken an hour BEFORE I can eat. An hour later my ride showed up. I went to my appointment, resisted the temptation to have Subway while I waited for my ride to pick me up after the appointment. I didn't get home until time for lunch! A few hours later I trekked out on the bus to renew my bus pass, get my money orders for rent and cable/Internet, get some yogurt, and then went home. Got home and schedule changed again, but it meant I could get in an episode of Zombies, Run! It wouldn't download the recent episode so I just went back to the beginning. I think I am going to rework through the old episodes for fun! Now, at last the day is done, food is done (well, still going to have a couple of Halos and water). Time to just relax!
3/02 - NW - I went to the store today and picked up a couple of items to help get me through until Tuesday. I've done two episodes of Zombies, Run! today, and I'm considering doing another before bed. Food has been on point, and I even had a treat of a Hershey bar today. I didn't hit all of my active hours, because once again Fitbit didn't notify me one particular hour that I was short of steps. It's been doing that all week at random hours, and I don't always watch the clock. It also did not pick up the flight of stairs I climbed. Oh, well. Well, tomorrow is the end of the round and weigh in.

Busy week, so I'm posting the last few days all at once.... here goes!
#babysteps #permanentsteps #1WKmore1LBless
R68- SW164.4 EW163.8 AW164.2
R69-SW163.8 EWTBD
GW: 162.4
UGW: 135lbs
Mini TW for March 22 - Under 160!
Mini TW for May 1st - 154.4 (10 lbs)
Exercise Goal: to spend 30+ minutes exercising 5 days a week!
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 - 163.6 (Ready, set, go! )
02/23 - 162.4 (slept a Lot, drank over 100oz water, enjoyed an inspiring message at church, walked outside with friends for an hour, and ate well though maybe a bit later than usual and some extra starch. Great day! Will probably see that starch effect tomorrow though, lol.)
02/24 - 163.2 (Yup! Looking forward to moving more outside today! Hopefully those allergies don't go crazy *crosses fingers*)
02/25 - 165.0 (Hehe. I weighed myself WAY into the afternoon because the a.m. was such a rush! That plus salty things yesterday and today makes the daily 100 oz of water I drink to hang on for dear life... ! lol! Hm... need to move more tomorrow, and preferably while multitasking because there is much to do! I hope everyone is having a good week so far! Hang in there!)
02/26 - 163.6 (Eating well today, drinking plenty of water, and trying to move around as much as possible. This is probably my Achilles' heel at the moment! We're half way there guys!)
02/27 - ?
02/28 - 164.2
03/01 -165
03/02 - 163 (Now this is funny- I realized I'd been so busy the last few days I was dehydrated... as soon as I drank my usual 100 oz of water, it came right off. So don't forget to drink your water! It will keep you regular, and prevent false highs! **Also, this is why it's more valuable for me to take my weight average over 10 days- it's simply not as emotional LOL** Tomorrow I'll be food prepping for the week... Looking forward to trying that once again, and to have my family on board at least for this week!)

ROUND 69 (Round 14 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 54-68 = 41.6 lb. lost
Latest NSV: Yesterday morning, I was standing in front of the mirror, applying make-up, and noticed my thighs don’t touch! Yay!
Thanks to all of you for helping me on this journey!
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 137.8
02/23 137.0
02/24 137.0
02/25 137.0
02/26 135.4 I’m starting late, but this is my first day to have time at home this round. I’m tired in the evenings, and do well to complete my Bible studies. This morning, I’m sure my weight was lower because I didn’t have to get up before daybreak! I won’t be able to go back and read posts starting from the beginning, but I’ll read today’s posts and see how everyone is progressing. It’s dreary out, but I don’t think it will rain, so Thor and I will head out for a walk after I check your posts.
02/27 135.4 The experiment I started a couple of weeks ago to stop logging calories and use what I’ve learned about eating keto-friendly foods seems to be working. I’ve continued to lose weight and close in on my goal. Thor and I got in a 3 mile walk yesterday. Spring is here—we saw our first bluebonnets of the season! Today, I hand-washed my car for the first time in several years. The automatic car wash doesn’t clean the back of my CRV, so I had to wash it myself. That was my exercise for the day.
02/28 135.8 I was afraid I would see a little bump today after more than usual snacking yesterday. It probably won’t improve tomorrow. I had extra wine tonight to warm myself. For Texas, the weather is cold! I played cards most of the day with friends and didn’t exercise. I split a grilled fish lunch with a friend and ate leftover ribs and asparagus with my husband this evening. My goal is to stay between 135 and 140, so I’m actually doing okay, but I would still like to see an even 135 at least once before I begin maintenance.
03/01 138 It was a busy day, and this was my weight at my afternoon doctor appointment. The bad news is that I was measured at ½” shorter than my last height measurement. It was a full day/evening, and I didn’t get online.
03/02 135.00 This is it--my goal weight!
Will I have it again tomorrow? Probably not—I went to a movie with my husband and that means I ate popcorn. I didn’t eat a lot, but it could make a difference. I may skip weighing tomorrow. I leave early in the morning for three concert performances, and I won’t return until late tomorrow night.

RSW 80.1kg (-7.9kg) or {17.4lbs}

02/22 80.1kg run was difficult this morning but I managed 4km. All going well. 1st target is only 100g away!
02/23 80.1kg still here still going strong. I'll get there!
02/24 80.0kg 1st mini target met 💃🏽I'm down to my pre vacation weight of July last year. Next mini target soon of losing 10% of my body weight. Today is relaxing with my sewing machine day - I'm not sewing clothes until I'm closer to goal so it's a wallet today and maybe some paper piecing.
02/25 80.1kg morning 3km done with both moon and sunrise. Felt good to be back to early runs even if it means back to work. Was very close to calorie limit this wknd so some light meals due this week.
02/26 79.9kg scale said 3 different readings today! I went with the highest for now. A new kg decade!
02/27 80.0 kg. Fastest 2km run! And did pushups etc last night but can still only do 11. Managed 44 squats though.
02/28 80.0kg as an average - scale doing crazy things. Lots showed down but I'm doing it all right so no worries.
03/01 80.0 kg. Did a good 4.5km run this morning. It'll be off soon.
03/02 79.9kg which is slow but I'm still down so far.
03/03 79.3kg which is prefect timing as its official weigh in day! Only 0.1kg away from my 1st 10%

Currently doing a “100 miles in February” challenge for charity too, so I'm running at 6am every morning and doing long runs on Saturday and Sunday! Thinking I'll try and keep up the new habit as the weight is melting off and I'm in a much better headspace when I've run!
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 - 98.3 up a bit from yesterday, just a minor fluctuation I think though! Plus I had a glass of wine last night!
02/23 dnw weekends throw out my routine something awful!
02/24 dnw Not sure if i forgot or if I was scared! Went to Chinese by for lunch yesterday but I tried to limit the bad choices and went for veggie loaded dishes but they will still be salt loaded veggies so think I'll be acting like a camel for a day or 2! I have a long run planned for later! So that should help it out!
02/25 98.3 oook! Not half as bad as I'd imagined! I did just over 20km yesterday…. Felt a bit stiff this morning so went for a 5km recovery jog, just to make sure I don't stiffen up too much!
02/26 96.9 This is not real! Had a slightly upset stomach so I'm sure it will bounce back up a bit as I rehydrate but still nice to see! I'm expecting a decent drop but not this much! We'll see what happens over the next few days!
02/27 97.4 knew there would be a bounce! Still happy with the number, right on target to hit my goal!
02/28 97.8 I was very off track yesterday! I won my diet bet, so turned my $35 into $57! So that's been reinvested in 2 new dietbets! So yesterday morning I was good until weigh in, once I won my bet I ate a little bit more that I should have and then once I signed up again I stopped! :-D
I'm really not worried about this bounce though, feels like more of a water bounce!
In other news I completed my 100 mile challenge today! And I'm now in an “I can rule the world” mood!
03/0198.5 eh... bit of a jump! I'm guessing this is the start of shark week preparation?! Bloody nature! I'll try to drink more water anyway though, have been awful with that the last week!
03/02 dnw Weekend so usual out of routine
03/03 98.6 salty snacks watching TV last night! Feel really awful and bloated! But heading off to spin class later and back to running tomorrow morning so it'll improve. Been a bit of a fail for this round but I think there's a variety of factors at play. But whatever about shark week I'll just keep my head up, keep eating clean and get back to running every morning and all will work out!

* ROUND 69 *
GW end of round 69 – 373.4
GW 299 – End of 2019 (6.2)
Day/Weight/Comment
02/22 380.2
02/23 377.8 (-2.4)
02/24 378.8 (+1.0)
02/25 379.6 (+0.8) – Not going good at all today so I may have another gain tomorrow. But after today back on track for sure. Goal today to get in my 7000 steps.
02/26 380.6 (+1.0) – Today is going pretty good so far. Hope I lose something tomorrow. I ordered me a new scale today. It should be here by March 7th. Cost a little over $50. Tired of getting on this one a 100 times. You get what you pay for. I am hoping it is better. If it is not I will be sending it back.
02/27 377.2 (-3.4) - Yesterday I got in my 7000 steps. I was not perfect but still ate pretty good. I can't wait to get new scale because this one is really getting on my nerves with the different weights each time I step on it. I am so spoiled because when I weighed over 450 I was spoiled I had an excellent scale that cost a lot. Now I don't want to pay for it so I am hoping the $50 scale from Walmart will suffice. I think I only paid $20 something for the current one. I am used to getting the same reading. After 10 years my other scale was gone
But it was worth every cent. Hopefully I will not have to get it again
02/28 377.4 (+0.2) – I got in my 7000 steps yesterday. It was an ok day. Went over my blue dots. But ate ok overall. Not too stressed out with month end at work. Today is going ok too. I should lose something tomorrow for sure. Need to stay focused over the weekend. These 10 days are flying by!
03/01 380.2 (+2.8)
03/02 380.4 (+0.4) - My new scale arrived yesterday. Still have not opened but I will have it ready for Round 70. I will have an appointment with my PCP on Tuesday the 5th. Looking forward to next round

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.Round 64 - SW 373.4 EW 369 (-4.4)
Round 65 - SW 370.8 EW 375.4 (+4.6)
Round 66 - SW 376 EW 373.6 (-2.4)
Round 67 – Did not participate (2/11/19 375.4)
Round 68 - SW 375.2 EW 377 (+1.8)
Net change 2019 = (+3.6)- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
