03/04: 177.1 I did not post the last three days of last round. I was on the road with no scale, then even after trying to stay low on sodium I was high. It was a rough weekend for me and now it's TOM. I'm traveling again this week so no scale until Thursday. I didn't walk all weekend. I have no excuse other than laziness and bad choices. I could have walked both Friday and Saturday but didn't make it a priority. Now I feel like a bloated slug. My boyfriend broke his wrist last week, which shouldn't be a big deal but he has multiple myeloma which makes his bones brittle and I'm afraid this is a foreshadowing of things to come. He knows it, I know it but we don't talk about it. This is TMI, this post is TMI on multiple levels but it is directly impacting my food and exercise choices. In a few days I'll be back on track and all of these terrible thoughts will be put on a back burner.
03/05 no scale I did ok on food yesterday though there were more chocolate calories than technically necessary but I was within calorie goal. I'm back in St. Louis for the week. I'm going to the gym tonight for weights and staying within calories. I bought a swimsuit so there will be Kris Water Aerobics probably tomorrow night.
03/06 no scale I did stay within calories and worked out last night. This training did allow us to pick our own lunches, which saved some calories but still not what I would choose on my own. Tonight walking or water aerobics? Can't decide maybe a little of both.
03/07 no scale Much better food day yesterday, fewer sweets and more veggies! I got in a 3.7 mile walk around a lake here in St. Louis. It was in the high 30's felt good when the sun was out, not so much otherwise. Driving home today with a stop on the Katy Trail for another walk, just trying to figure out the timing because I also have a webinar I'll have to do from the road. I try to turn my travel time into fun walking time instead of sitting my lazy butt in a hotel all night every night. Here is a pic of the frozen waterfall...

03/08 177.2 Well a couple days of eating out every meal will screw me on sodium every week. But my exercise has been on point this week and I know calories in/calories out should have me in a better place. Yesterday's walk was a trail closer to home (the timing did not work out, no Katy trail this week). It was nice, I'll go back. Since it was a Thursday at 4:00 pm and cold I didn't see another human being but lots of deer and about 1,000 squirrels. Definitely going outside tonight- it's supposed to be in the mid 40's. You know it's been a long winter when you're thinking it's going to be 45 degrees.... SWEEET heat wave!
03/09 177.9
03/10 177.2
03/11 176.2 Spent a rare and wonderful weekend with my BF. We only ate out once and I was very good that night. I walked 3 miles on Friday night and another 3 yesterday but nothing on Saturday. I weighed and tracked but did all that thru the phone, I hate posting in here with the phone because it is inconsistent and annoying. I would really like to be down more (of course) but I had such a good weekend that I'm not complaining. I took today off to do all the things I didn't get done. I'm not traveling this week so there is hope for a lower number
03/12 177.9 No exercise yesterday and questionable food choices in that I had one meal all day and that was a reuben with cole slaw and some chocolate chips for dessert. I mean I had half the sandwich for a late lunch (around 4:00) and a the rest for dinner around 8:00p.m. My great niece had heart surgery yesterday (she's 16 months old and the baby in my profile pic). We hung out at the hospital - funny I was telling the parents they needed to eat so they could be in good shape for the baby but somehow forgot to eat myself. I guess it was a do as I say not as I do situation. All the stuff I thought I would get done yesterday didn't happen. The kids said they didn't want us at the hospital but in the end they did so I'm glad I took the day off. There are things more important than my diet. The baby is doing very well and they even let her come home last night (via our house for a few hours). It wasn't open heart surgery - just out patient but her Mom and Dad were so tired I think they just wanted a little more "safe" time, I'm so glad my house is that for them. Now a doctor visit for myself this afternoon. I don't remember what I weighed when I was there in December, we'll see what he thinks.

Round 70 here we go! Glad to see everyone back for another go at this.
HW (age 14) - 175 lb
SW Jan 2015 - 165 lb
SW Jan 2019 - 147.5 lb
GW - 135 lb
R67 EW = 141 lb; ∆ = -2.2 lb
R68 EW = 138.2 lb; ∆ = -2.8 lb
R69 EW = 135 lb; ∆ = -3.2 lb
Day/Weight/Comment:
03/04 - 137.4 lbs. (Up 2.4 pounds) I think yesterday was a fluke and that I showed as 135 because I was so dehydrated. I drank like 5 vodka sodas on Saturday night, but I also did so much dancing! Haha. So today I am back to the basics but I have changed my calories to 1480 (losing .5 lb per week). I hope I can stick with this without worrying about gaining weight. 1480 is not that much.
03/05 136.4 lbs. Coming back down 🙌 I had a hard time eating up to my calorie goal yesterday. But I did eat more than 1200, (1346), and since I realized eating too much in the evening is challenging I will add an extra 100 calories to my breakfast 🙂. I think it's my Fitbit that threw me off. I don't want to see my chart turn red (i.e. more calories in than out). But it's mind over matter right now. I am trying to build myself up for life long success.
03/06 136.4 lbs. 😃 This is good! I increased my calories yesterday and I was afraid it might show on the scale (1471). I think this is going great and honestly I had a moment of self reflection yesterday where I realized this last 1.5 pounds doesn't really matter. I'm happy with where my body is at right now. I just don't want to gain weight back. And NSV Yesterday I got a pair of jeans I ordered from Old Navy in the mail and they fit perfectly.
03/07 136.4 lbs. 1477 calories yesterday. Eating more throughout the day has become much easier. When I saw the scale go so quickly to 136.4 again my first thought is maybe the scale is glitching, but in reality I think this is just my new normal and that's just fine. My clothes fit so much better and I feel stronger as well. I've been doing yoga now for 39 straight days and today I am going to start the Dedicate 30 day yoga journey
03/08 137 lbs. Yesterday's stats: 1456 calories, 3,025 mg sodium, 10,000 steps, yoga, and body resistance strength training. Why am I up? I did move my scale to a different part of my floor and it seemed to calculate longer, so my guess is my weight has been creeping up. Also I had way more sodium than I usually do. I need to watch that. But it's just so hard. I can't imagine how much sodium I must have consumed before I started logging. Also I think my water was lower yesterday so I'll drink much more today to see if that helps. ✌️♥️
03/09 136 lbs. Yesterday: 1231 calories, 1853 mg sodium, 10,700k steps including 2 mile jog, and yoga. I'll admit, I went back to eating more restrictive because I didn't like seeing that scale go up, especially right before a weekend. Tonight I am going out of town and Sunday I'll be away all day, so I want to give myself some cushion. Today at 11:30 I am planning on going to a dance class. The dance is called Nia, have any of you done it before? I did it 3 years ago as part of an intensive outpatient program. I was super into it and wish I had continued after I finished. Nia is a unique blend of dance, yoga, Chi Gong and Aikido, that promotes energy, strength and well-being.
03/10 136 lbs. I weighed this AM. My dance class was cancelled and my other plans got cancelled. So I went out to go dancing again instead and had an amazing time! The person who threw the event is a ballroom dancer and all his friends are ballroom dancer, so I got asked to dance with 4 different professional ballroom dancers and they were just making me feel so light on my feet! I drank some, so I think my calories came out even. All and all it was one of those nights where I really appreciated where I am in life and health.
03/11 136.6 lbs. I expected this. I hardly moved at all yesterday and didn't have a bowel movement. I hope after my normal exercise and eating today I go back down. And hopefully I have a BM today 🤞🤞
03/12 136.2 lbs. No BM. We are officially on BM watch 2019 👀😆 I bet I just need to be more active and drink more water. So my goal for the day is to jog and drink 10 glasses of water. I've had 2 already today.17 -

OSW: 252
Round 69 SW: 211.6
03/04—211.8—Had a hungry day yesterday, but also an exercise-filled day. My head is fine (I smacked it hard yesterday on the tailgate of my car). This is gonna be a good week.
03/05—211.4—Another rather hungry day, though I was able to keep my calories in a good place. I hate the cold, but I took a nice long walk yesterday while it was in the thirties. I felt fairly invigorated, but I probably won't do that again today.
03/06—212.8—Not a concerning bump for several reasons. 1. Bumps happen; 2. I had a Frosty yesterday; 3. This was an early weigh-in; 4. My digestive system is positively wonky! Still having a good week, though I'm terribly sleepy this moment as I sit at my desk and attempt to write regulatory comments!
03/07—212.6—Tummy troubles continue to plague me and work continues to be very busy. But things are otherwise looking very spiffy! We're in the middle of planning a trip to Ireland in late May that's going to be fabulous.
03/08—211.2—New lows are always nice.
03/09—210.8—Another new low. I'm surprised by this one because we went to the movies last night and I had popcorn. I've had a pretty low-exercise week, though that's about to end since I'm going to do some significant working out in a few minutes.
03/10—212.4—Very sore muscles this morning! One of the exercises I was doing yesterday is either NOT FOR ME or I was doing it wrong because it hurt. Yow. And now I'm stiff and sore, which is less ideal than it sounds!
03/11—211.8—Not a good eating weekend, so I'm pleased this number is what it is! Still sore, but better today.
03/12—211.6—Other than a minor incident involving super hot cinnamon gummi bears, it was a good day!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/04 - 149.4
Well, that makes no sense. I couldn't gain 3 pounds overnight even if my calories were crazy, which they were not. So I'm recording, shrugging, and moving on. Speaking of moving - it's 7F right now and I do not feel like moving myself from my warm house to the Y! Maybe I'll suck it up and go, or maybe just do something here. Anyway, I have my food planned for the day and am working on no stupid snacks.
U.S. friends - if you're in the path of the current storms, be safe!
03/05 - 148
I still can't imagine why I'm this high, unless it's due to a massive time lag. Oh well. I'm pretty much back on track, so all is well.
03/06 - 147
I was sick yesterday afternoon - I think a mild reaction to a pneumonia shot I got in the morning - so I skipped dinner and, when I got up around 8 p.m. I had a lovely bowl of ice cream. But I'm back to normal (or as normal as I ever get!
) this morning. Off to the Y in a few minutes. Have a great day, everyone!
03/07 - 147.4
I spoke too soon - I'm still not feeling up to par and I slept most of the day today, which is why I'm late here. I'm also hurting again from the PMR I've been fighting since last summer, so I'm back on an anti-inllammatory diet to see if it will help. I didn't notice much difference last time, but I have to do something. So basically I'm on veggies, fish, chicken, and a little bit of fruit for a bit.
03/08 - 148
To my surprise, I got a good night's sleep even after sleeping most of the day, and I feel MUCH better today. I've also decided not to make my diet quite so restrictive, so I'll be eating as clean as possible, but including whole grains and healthy fats. There is so much conflicting info about food and inflammation - it can make your head explode! But I do have a sense of what makes me feel good and energetic and what makes me feel like crap. Sugar is the biggest offender, and I have it back under control after my crazy 4-month baking spree, which was very weird for me. So I will now limit my baking urge to whole grain, low-/no-sugar items, particularly breads that have nothing in them but the basics. Yum! And now I'm off to the Y! Have a great Friday, all, and thanks for all the hugs last night.
03/09 - 148.4
I'd say I don't understand this, but alas, I do. Vowing to do better. Have a great weekend, all.
03/10 - 148
Better on calories yesterday.
03/11 - 149
Mostly better on calories, although I had some fried chicken yesterday (not something I normally eat) and just too much. I have no idea what's become of my self control.
03/12 - 149
Really good day yesterday until I ate "just a couple" of butterscotch chips I found in the fridge, and then "just a few more." Sigh. Onward. I can't believe this round is almost over. Where did it go???

03/04. 191.6. Up from yesterday, but had a great family, not over the top calories-wise, with wine. Should be lower in next few days. Hoping, hoping to be consistently in the 180’s this time. Very motivated to see numbers I haven’t seen in many years.
03/05. 190.4. Weekend gain nearly gone. Tried some a bit too tight pants on yesterday, and they are now loose.
03/06. 188.8. WOW, did not expect this! But I will take it.
03/07. 187.8
03/08 187.4. Good trend downward BUT now must work had not to gain too much over weekend.weekends are my downfall!
03/09. 189.4. Sigh..I own it: take out Chinese food my DH and DS idea of making dinner! And a couple glasses of wine.
03/10. 190.0. We had a great meal at friends’house. All good food, African curries, rice, and a beautiful salad, and a brandy pudding with whipped cream. All delicious, spiced perfectly! Today, I admit, no regrets about the high calorie count.
03/11. 191.0
03/12. 191.0. There goes my hope of ending in the 180’s! Back one n track today.!

03/04: 202.6 (I’m glad I started at a good number! I lost about 0.4 pounds since yesterday which never happens on a Monday morning. I’m hoping for a great start to the week! Last night I ate some soup and salad and did a 40 minute stepper workout.)
03/05: 201.2 (This drop was nice! I felt very energized last night to do my 2 workouts. One was 20 mins on the elliptical and the other was a core workout. I even made a nice oven fried chicken dinner too which is rare for a Monday since I usually do those on the weekend. I think all this working out is really affecting my energy level , in a good way, and I love it!)
03/06: 201.4 ( A slight increase which most likely has to do with an increase in exercise. On a weekly basis, I increase my minutes on the elliptical and the last two weeks this has been affecting my weight loss with most likely water weight because of my sore muscles. But I’ll stay the course and I’m sure one day the pounds will fall!)
03/07: 200.8 ( I did a short upper body strength training exercise last night and had a couple of slices of cheese pizza! I was very sleepy and I had a wonderful 7 hours of sleep. I’m so close to reaching my goal!)
03/08: 199.4 (wow! I’m finally in ONEderland!!! I cannot believe it. I’ve been trying to get to this number since before my wedding last July! I didn’t work out last night because I was spending time with the family. I ate BBQ chicken, mashed potatoes and Caesar salad last night from a local bbq joint but kept the portions small. I made my goal! Let’s hope it stays this low til the 13th. I always gain on the weekend.)
03/09: 199.6 ( I always expect an increase on the weekend. I did a 45 minute elliptical workout yesterday! My planned meal last night was half a chili burger and fries with some garlic edamame and banana milkshake. SO worth it! 😋)
03/10: 200.6 (I’m shocked I didn’t gain more than this! I had a lot of yummy food including a Chipotle vegetarian burrito. I also did a total body strength training workout yesterday. I usually gain more during the weekend so I think this is a victory for me.)
03/11: 200.6 (So happy I didn't gain! I'm 2 pounds down from last Monday and I think that's definitely a win for me! Monday's I'm heavier so I know I'll get to the 190's again pretty soon as long as I drink tons of water today! 2 more days left and I hope I'm at 199.8 by Wednesday morning. Last night I had some grilled garlic lemon chicken, broccoli and potatoes. I also did a 20 minute interval training workout on the elliptical.)
03/12: 198.6 (Yay a new low! I haven't seen this number in about 10 months. I had lost weight and put it all back on. I feel like this time, I found a way that definitely works for me and I can do this forever! Last night I did a core workout and 20 minutes on the elliptical. I also ate steak, baked potato with butter and sour cream and steamed broccoli for dinner last night! I'm hoping I stay below 199.8 tomorrow to make my goal!)

GOALS THIS ROUND reporting on all the "yesterdays":- under calorie goal 9/10 days: 5/10 so far
- over 10K steps 9/10 days: 6/10 so far
- three strength workouts: 1.5/3 so far
- five cardio workouts: 2/5 so far
3/4 - 134.6 - yesterday wildly over calories, a stress-tired-emo eating day. 5K steps.
Today starting a wellness campaign at work where my goal is 10K steps a day, 5 servings of veg and fruit.
3/5 - 133.4 - yesterday under calorie goal, 12K steps including a 2 mile run with my new (canine) running buddy. Raining today, so getting steps in may be a challenge. Gonna try for 30 flights of the basement stairs at work.
3/6 - 133.4 - yesterday under calorie goal, 10K steps, nice walk at lunchtime. Did 20 flights of stairs, trying for the full 30 today.
3/7 - 132.2 - yesterday under calorie goal, 10K steps, did not manage any stairs since I got absolutely nailed to my desk by emergencies; however got a nice bodyweight strength workout in at home.
3/8 - 133.0 - yesterday a smidge over maint, 13K steps and a run with dogger. Fell running and got some rad rash on my knee... going to work in skinny jeans , which are literally all I have, is unappealing
3/9 -132.8 - yesterday under calorie goal, 7K steps and a few sets of pushups/crunches. Knee a little swollen and stiff but no serious damage.
I owe my strong bones to all the running I did in my 40's and 50's, and tripping while I run is the price I have paid maybe a dozen times ... not coordinated ... I feel like I will be falling in my 80's and NOT breaking bones (in spite of all my osteo risk factors), and saying, thanks younger me for getting on with strength workouts and running! Weight bearing exercise is the BOMB, and in addition, gets me a lot more calories a day to eat!
3/10 -133.0 - yesterday 9K steps but over maintenance calories by 150 ... I did great till evening when I was tired. A few small strength exercises but knee still stiff and sore so nothing heavy duty yet.
3/11 - 133.8 - yesterday violently over calories, eating to flee an illumination and comfort the unexpected 4 hours at work. Eventually got the illumination anyway and feeling so much better today! 6500 steps, did take a walk with dog but knee definitely still sore from the fall last week.
3/12 - 134.2 - yesterday under calorie goal, 10K steps, weight still on the higher side from Sunday's indiscretions.

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!

Mar 4 - 179.6 - thanks for starting a new thread Grandma. I need to buckle down and start losing, I seem to be maintaining very well but at the wrong weight.
Mar 5 - 176.2 - I’m not sure what is going on with all of these fluctuations. Maybe I need to change batteries in my scale.

Mar 7 - 178.2 - again I weighed 3 times.

Hi-I’m Karen
Sept. 2018 OSW 187 (Was my Round #1)
UGW 135.....yes, 135!
Goal this round-159-hopefully!
3/4-166-Birthday cake and ice cream for dinner with our widowed friend. (All of our kids are grown and gone.)I knew I was going to feel awful, so I had milk with protein powder and some peanut butter....Our friend is very trim and fit and I never see her eat crap like that, but yesterday was her exception, and we happily joined in. I got her flowers (because I see how healthy she eats)and her sister in law brought her a cake and ice cream and I realized what a wonderful gesture that was because I realized nobody else provided her with a cake and she is a mom. I realized then, that “every mom deserves a cake”.
3/5-162-That is a swoosh I had been expecting. I ate sensibly yesterday and got to walk in the morning and evening.
3/6-165-Salty soup and salad dressing. More rain, so I have to get out walking soon.
3/7-162-I got down to this last round. That is 25 pounds since I started in September. I just want to encourage anyone who is struggling: Please don’t give up! It all takes time, just as we did not gain our weight over night, we can’t lose it all over night. I love looking back at how much everyone else weighed & lost and it gives me hope to keep going.
3/8 No Scale
3/9 No Scale
3/10 No Scale
3/11 No Scale
3/12-167 I dropped everything I was doing and drove 4 hours on Thursday, to help my uncle with my aunt. She was my mom’s sister and I wanted to be by her side as she passed away. I am glad I was able to be there....however, there was plenty of food and a lot of sitting. I’m back home and will get back on track today.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/04 155.7, new week, new month. I’m feeling confident I can get to my goal of 152 by the end of the month.
10,832 Steps, 35 minutes of exercise, 72 oz of water
03/05 155.5, today is Mardi Gras and I am giving up chips and cereal for lent (my two snacking vices so might indulge a bit in both of those). Tomorrow, I am going to do two small meals and will be meat free on Fridays.
8927 steps, 60 minutes of exercise, 72 oz of water
03/06 155.5, I’ll take being the same weight since the weather has been terrible here with rain and high winds. I love walking for errands so it’s been challenging getting steps in with the weather. Today I’m going to fast for Ash Wednesday. I normally take a basic strength class on Wednesday’s but will take it on Saturday instead bc too intense for a fasting day.
17,002 steps, 60 minutes of exercise, 72 oz of water
03/07 154.4, was not expecting that drop and it could be that I only had a couple small meals yesterday because it was Ash Wednesday, but I am so excited to finally see a number under 155
3,653 steps, 0 minutes of exercise, 48 oz of water
03/08 154.7, had such a busy day at work that I couldn’t do much of anything yesterday. Will make it to gym today and be better at walking and drinking water
13,798 steps, 70 minutes of exercise, 64 oz of water
03/09 154.5, going to the movies today and will try to avoid the popcorn stand! Off to the gym now since finally have a break in the rain. I can’t wait for the rain to stop this winter.
03/10 155, did not avoid popcorn stand yesterday, but it was so worth it! Back to dieting today
03/11 155, have all my meals prepped today and the water bottle ready. I didn’t drink a lot of water this weekend. so will go closer to 100 oz today. The weather finally looks like it is turning a corner so my steps will be up in round 7.
03/12 155, i think I’m getting a bit sick so will keep fluids (orange juice, water, tea) up this week

Day/Weight/Comment
03/04 - NW - I did two episodes of Zombies, Run! and intended to do another, but I needed to finish hooking a hat together for a trip today. However, I might cancel that trip due to ice on the sidewalks; I have no desire to end up with a broken hip. I will likely instead have lunch and do a Zombie, Run! Food is doing good.
03/05 - 306.2 - WHOOOSH! - About to have breakfast. My aide comes today. So, I will go for a walk after she leaves to avoid having to pace in the apartment. I'm not allowed to leave her alone in the apartment. I'm averaging two walks a day of Zombies, Run! I just wish it would consistently pick up my steps. I've increased my steps to 7,000.
03/06 - NW - Did two episodes of Zombies, Run! yesterday. Food is okay. I'm figuring out today as it is Ash Wednesday and therefore technically a fast day, but gotta eat with some of my meds. I will be going Mallwalking today. Woot! I have considered taking advantage and doing an episode while I'm there. I don't anticipate the mall will be very busy today which helps my anxiety. I plan on walking at least two episodes today.
03/07 - NW - Mallwalking went great yesterday. The last time I attempted I lasted 12 minutes. Yesterday I walked over an hour for 2.54 miles. My first full meal of the day was dinner and unfortunately it did not stay down. I redecorated my living area before I made it to the bathroom. Today I plan to get in at least one episode of Zombies, Run! I discovered yesterday the GPS will work in the community room but not in my pocket. I also have to fast the majority of the day due to lab work at 2, and the actual appointment is at 3. I'm seeing my endocrinologist today.
03/08 - 303.0 - Got my Zombies, Run! yesterday. I'll get in at least one, aiming for two episodes. It's Friday, so it's a day of fasting and no meat. I'll still have dinner as I take Latuda and it needs a minimum of 350 calories to work. I have a couple of groups to attend today, but then I'll head back home. I'll do some cleaning today as well.
03/09 - NW - I walked one episode of Zombies, Run! yesterday and the story had an interesting turn to it. Today I plan to do two to three episodes. I struggled yesterday to hit my step and am considering not increasing it on Monday. I'm not sure another increase will benefit me at this point vs stress me out in trying to reach it right before bedtime. It's warmer today but raining so no walking outside today. Maybe tomorrow I can walk outside with a light jacket on, if it's not too windy.
03/10 - 301.2 - Woohoo! Going well. Did two Zombies, Run! yesterday. I did not hit all my active hours, partly due to talking to a friend, but she's in a bad place right now and needs someone. Food is on point; however, I am running out of lettuce, boo. I will have to plan for that this week. I see my dietitian in the morning and I think she will be pleased. It's supposed to be my rest day, so I may or may or may not do Zombies, Run! episode(s) today. I'm not going to push myself too hard. Just gonna chill.
03/11 - NW - I was supposed to see my dietitian today, but my CSS got confused on the dates thinking the 11th was tomorrow. So, I rescheduled for Friday afternoon. I was so furious. I had to walk right away to get the frustration out, but they were doing a blood pressure thing in the community room; so, I paced back and forth in my apartment. I plan on walking again later, just more calmly.
03/12 - NW - I signed up with the Y yesterday and was ecstatic to discover they have a NuStep. It was one of the pieces of equipment I used during pulmonary rehabilitation. When I got there all the treadmills were taken so boo. I walked the track instead before doing the NuStep. I plan on going again today.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/04- 354.8 I’m seriously surprised by this loss. I stayed on track yesterday, but had a horrible night and was up fairly late and am aching this morning. My mother in law got lost, ran out of gas,and we had to try to help her from 10 hours away. Thanks to the New Mexico State police we got someone out there to help her. On top of that my brother was rushed to emergency surgery for an abscess and sepsis. Today’s goal is to not over eat from stress and being tired.
03/05- 354.2 My brother is doing well and should be out of the hospital tomorrow. After posting yesterday I realized my kitchen pipe was frozen, we got it thawed without any additional problems. My mother in law is still on the road, but is now deciding to stop at night rather than risk going into ditches or running out of gas. Thanks again to my supportive spouse I didn’t binge eat yesterday. Partially because he did! That’s right he stress ate a few baked goods I had set aside so that I wouldn’t.
03/06- 355.2 It took a good long look at yesterday’s diary to figure this one out. I think it’s from my pancakes and muffin dinner with a bit of sodium weight tossed in. It’s okay I know that it’s water and will be gone in a day or two.
03/07- 355 I had hoped for more, but I know I’ll see a bigger drop soon. I just need to get my water back under control.
03/08- 354.8 Still not back down, but I looked at last month and I did the same thing. My goal today will be to get through today without stress eating. The settling in process with my mother in law is being very rough.
03/09- 354.2 And back to where I was a few days ago. I was more mindful of my water and sodium. I’ve been lacking in motivation to get in exercise and I haven’t been walking like I wanted so hopefully those two things are on tap today. My nsv from yesterday was taking an honest look at my excuses for my lack of movement and find ways to remove them. Today my only excuse will be simply because I didn’t and nothing else.
03/10- 354.8 I had way too much sodium last night and over ate a smidge. I know it’s all a water gain and I did it to myself. I need to get my head back in this though. I barely got my step target in and I didn’t exercise. Back on track with movement and no more excuses.
03/11- 353.8 There we go. I stayed on track with water and low on sodium. My nsv was getting back on track with movement too.
03/12- 352.8 Well that number was unexpected, I’m guessing that I had more water weight than I thought. I have a chest cold and I took it easier yesterday, so I guess I was wrong about not having a real excuse not to exercise. But I stayed on point with my eating, sodium, and water.

03/05 …..188.9 ….. My Fitbit numbers were phenomenal yesterday! Yesterdays stats: 1135 Calories In / 3090 Calories out. 8 Net Carbs. 24,128 Total Steps & 10.22 Miles !!! Yay me! 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. IF 16:8 . I slept for 4 hours & 18 minutes. I walked at moderate pace for 93 minutes at the school. I danced for 71 minutes at home, all in one set. Sample song “Money for Nothing (I want my MTV) by Dire Straits.
03/06 ….. 188.7 ….. Yesterdays Stats: 1304 Calories In / 2346 Calories Out. 8 Net Carbs. 10,128 Steps & 4.28 Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. IF 16:8 . I slept 5 hours & 13 minutes. I danced for 27 minutes. Sample song “Nobody to Blame” by Chris Stapleton.
03/07 …..188.9 ….. Yesterday I burned 2302 Calories (but ate more I am sure). 8,488 Steps & 3.6 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Steps. No IF. Not enough water. I slept 5 hours 43 minutes. I danced a 15 minute set. Sample song “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga.
03/08 …..190.8 ….. Best guess on Yesterdays Stats: 2010 Calories In / 2520 Calories out. 179 Net Carbs (ugg). 11,341 Total Steps & 4.8 Total Miles. IF 14:10. Slept 5 hours & 23 minutes. I danced a 40 minute set yesterday. Sample song “Wagon Wheel” by Darius Rucker (Hootie).
03/09 …..189.2 ….. Yesterdays stats: 1115 Calories In / 3152 Calories Out. 6 Net Carbs. 21,535 Total Steps & 9.11 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13 /13 Fitbit Steps. I slept 5 hours & 17 minutes. For planned exercise I took a 90 minute walk inside the school (no mall here) which consisted of a 3 mile walk. I danced 62 minutes in one long set. Sample song “Sweet Home Alabama” by Leonard Skynard. Shakespeare wrote, “When words fail, music speaks. “ Have a safe & loving weekend everyone!
03/10 …..187.2 ….. Another Whoosh thanks to the Egg Fast. It is to be expected that some of the weight will return as I integrate back into my whole food plan, but if any stays off it’s a win! My downfall is that I continually do not drink enough water, or fluids of any kind. That can cause a quick weight gain when sodium is increased and added back in higher amounts after the fast. I MUST DRINK MY WATER & FLUIDS! Today is Sunday, my busy day at work. I should get my steps in easier, but again, time for fluids????? Yesterdays stats on Day 2 of my Egg Fast: 893 Calories In / 2492 Calories Out. 4 Net Carbs. 13,162 Total Steps & 5.58 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Steps. IF: 19:5 . I slept 5 hours & 47 minutes. I danced 59 minutes & the sample song was “California Dreamin’” by the Mamas & the Papas. I’m thinking of you @quiltingjaine on that one. Another great vibe to the song, but the right beat too.
03/11 ….. 186.6….. Yesterday was Egg Fast Day #3. I was hoping to lose more. Morning weight at start of Eggfast was 190.8. Ending on 186.6. I’ve lost 4.2 lbs. They typically say you should lose 5-10 pounds and I fell short. Followed this perfectly except that calories should be between 1000-1200 and two of the 3 days I did not reach the 1000. Could that have hurt it a bit? Not sure but I’ll take what I can get. I shed a lot of water on this 3rd day/night. Integrating slowly back in today to my regular keto eating plan so I will not gain too much back. Yesterdays Stats: 943 Calories In / 2640 Calories Out. 8 Net Carbs. 13,233 Total Steps & 5.6 Total Miles. IF 17:7. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 22 minutes. I danced 52 minutes . The sample song is “Manic Monday” by the Bangles.
03/12 …..185.4 ….. Scale still moving in the right direction & I couldn’t be happier. I’m trying to get my mindset right for next week (& next round). I have a major out-of-town trip. Also my two normal potluck dinners within the round. Food filled events. I know I’m not perfect but I pray I handle them all with my mind on my goals and my eyes on the prize. One trend I am noticing lately is that I am sleeping over 5 hours per night instead of my more commonly 4 hours. That may be from increased movement? I am very happy about it. I also observed that yesterday I was incredibly hungry (after the 3 day Egg Fast) and I had my larger dinner meal as my first meal & my traditional lunch size meal later. It helped me fit back in more calories as the first meal was less restricted & I was hungry enough to eat a bit more. I was also fuller all day because of it. I may try this more often. Yesterday’s stats: 1213 Calories In / 3096 Calories Out. 16 Net Carbs. 18,953 Total Steps & 8.02 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 12 minutes. I took a 32 minute walk & I danced for 31 minutes. Sample song was “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne. My son picked it. It’s heavy metal but it worked at getting him & I both moving.
03/13 ….. …..

Back again! March is a new month and a new start. Who knew having adult children was going to be more stressful than having teenage children. February was exhausting and I did not do well with my weight at all. Ended January at 148 and ended February at 153. Between TOM, a week in Las Vegas, and my stressful children, I am ready to get back on track. My 10 day goal is to get back in the 140's no matter what, which is very doable. I know most of this bloat and water weight should come off pretty easy.
03/04 - 154.9 fourth day in a row. I am finally done with TOM as of today and back on track with food. Looking forward to getting back in the 140's, so I am going to stay strong. I had no desire or will last week and it shows. Felt terrible most of the week and was exhausted. Thank goodness I only go through that every 3-4 months. Feeling motivated and in good spirits today and that will hopefully keep me motivated.
5 pounds to go to get back to the 140's
03/05 - 154.0 I thought it would be lower. Ate very low calorie yesterday, but did cave and have a couple of beers with my hubby. I had been kind of cranky the last couple of days towards him and was finally feeling better. So when he asked if I would have a drink with him, I kind of caved. It was nice sitting there, relaxing, cooking dinner, and just talking to him. I get super moody sometimes during TOM and my hubby pays the price, lol. He is really is a good man even though he drives me crazy sometimes. So on track so far today and no alcohol tonight. I should start seeing this water weight come off. I am expecting a pretty decent drop tomorrow.
4.1 pounds to go to be back in the 140's.
03/06 - 153.0 and down another pound. Don't know why my body is holding on to this weight this week. Usually TOM ends and within 3 days I'm down like 5 pounds. I usually will have 2 days that I lose 2 pounds easily each day. Of course this month that is not happening. Maybe tomorrow I will have a pretty good drop. Ate well under calories yesterday and had no alcohol. All I can do is trust the process and stay on track!
3.1 pounds to go to get back in the 140's
03/07 - 151.1 There we go! I new I had a pretty good whoosh coming soon. Did really well again yesterday calorie wise, water wise, and still no alcohol. My son has an orthodontist appt today, daughter has a doctors appt, and I have parent teacher conferences in between. Also came to work this morning to finish up a couple of things, so should be a pretty crazy day. Hopefully can follow through with my meals that I have planned at some point and stay on track. Would love to see another big whoosh tomorrow or Saturday to get back in the 140's. My goal this round was just to get back to 148/149 something. I was there 3 weeks ago before life took over and I lost all control,lol. So far doing way better than I had been doing! 6 more days to lose 1.2 pounds to see 140's again.
03/08 - 152.3 and the roller coaster continues. I kind of expected a little bump. I never ate anything until 5:00 last night. I was so busy and didn't want to stop and go through a drive through, so I just waited. Looking back I should have stopped and I probably would have been better off. By the time 5:00 rolled around we were at the bowling alley and I was starving. I didn't go crazy, I was well within calorie goals, but not a drop of it was by any means a healthy choice. I stayed with only 1 piece of pizza, some fries, and a couple of jalapeno poppers, but I also ended up having a couple of beers. I know my water intake was awful yesterday, because I spent most of the day in a car or dr offices or meeting with teachers. So back on track today and hopefully will see a drop tomorrow. 5 days to lose 2.4 pounds
03/09 - 151.7 I’ll take it. Did well all day yesterday. No alcohol last night, which on a Friday night not to have a beer is a real win in my book. Date night with the hubby and some friends from out of town planned for tonight. Also birthday lunch for my mama today, she’s 60, so that should be fun and then taking both my daughters for mani-pedis. Plus I need to get some grocery shopping done for the week. So busy day ahead of me. I feel like I have lost a ton of my bloat finally. Still 4 days left to lose 1.8 pounds to get back in the 140’s.
03/10 - NW - Because of the time change and we were out so late, didn't have time to weigh. We were already running late and had to meet a bunch of friends to go shooting. We had never taken the 2 youngest with us, so they were so excited to get out there and do some target shooting.
03/11 - 153.4 up a bit, normal weekend gain. I actually did way better than normal. Back to work today and meals are set. Had an amazing weekend, so busy and crazy, but tried to maintain calories. My alcohol consumption was way more than I planned Saturday night, but didn't have a drop of alcohol on Sunday. Still working towards my goal and should see a pretty good drop tomorrow. 2 days left to lose 3.5 pounds
03/12 - 153.3 I don't think I am going to be seeing the 140's again this round. Kind of discouraged, but not giving up. I didn't do much of anything accept gain in the month of February, so it may just take the month of March to get back in the swing of things of things. Oh well, I guess we will see what I end on tomorrow and start a new round.

@39flavours While it wouldn’t be healthy to eat so few calories EVERY day, I think we have to listen to our body also. Last month I had a week with 2 or 3 days that I just wasn’t hungry and ate around 850 calories. I just go with the flow. The problem comes when you consistently eat too few calories.
@amfmmama HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
@jlbtnc GOALS! Yay! Congrats!

Hi. I'm joining back in for this round late! Why wait for the next one when you can start today!
03/10 146 --My sister was visiting 3/3 - 3/10 and I wasn't entirely eating on track. And we went out Sunday night. And after eating almost nothing for the 10 days surrounding my appendectomy, I thought eating was probably a good thing to do!
03/11 144.5 -- I got back on track eating-wise yesterday. Back to the gym today for the first time after my appendix removal. It felt so good to do some zumba!!
Welcome back! You have been missed. I am so glad your are doing okay now. What a trooper!

Day/Weight/Comment
03/04- 163.0. Good day today-started off lower than my EW!
Also on track with water lol. Yesterday it took my family and I 5 hours into the evening to buy and food prep...they had NO idea how long it takes! Well now they do 
We also made WAY too much salad ... so that will be going into the freezer later for green smoothies if they aren't consumed this week (dressing aside, so it stays fresh!). All in all, a pretty good day!
03/05- 162.0. Cool. A step in the right direction (though maybe a touch dehydrated). Was able to eat healthfully, and planning to get plenty of rest tonight! I learned about the "Crimson Worm." It's an actual worm and it's so strange! Definitely worth looking up
I'm feel blessed to have had a good day- and no matter what happens, any day above ground is a good day!
03/06- 163.4. Glad to be staying a bit more out of 164/165.. Yesterday there was more salt (so no surprise there!), and today there was more sweets! LOL. Definitely working on consistency! Well, off to get some rest - tomorrow is a new day with exams and all, so hopefully things can stay on track holistically!
03/07- 163.4. Whooo what a long day! Gearing up for exams and really pushing everything to the limits (mentally...
). I think I'm going to aim for one or two goals a day... Just baby steps and focusing on smaller achievements 
Yeah. Little achievements deserve celebration too! Here's the quote for the day: "If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way." Martin Luther King Jr.
03/08- 164.3
03/09- 162.6
03/10- 163.4
03/11- 165.0
03/12- 164.6 Started my day off properly with loads of water and 30 minutes weighted workout! All the best to everyone today. A new day is a new chance to make healthful decisions!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
Round 70
3/4 130.0 Ate El Pollo Loco 2 piece dinner (chicken, broccoli, Loco salad with dressing, no tortillas,) 2 oz dry roasted peanuts, a handful of Mac’s Pork Cracklins. Water, coffee, diet soda. Below my pre-cruise weight!
3/5 130.0 Why am I craving dills, mayo, and cheddar???
3/6 130.0 I’m 69 years old and don’t recall ever hearing of Pancake Tuesday until yesterday! I hope everyone enjoyed!! Met Amy at the gym again yesterday. Don’t know what’s been wrong with my leg/hamstring? for the last 3 months but suspect a pinched nerve. Glad it’s feeling better but don’t want to overdo!
3/7 129.5. Didn’t meet Amy yesterday but plan to today. Going to Fiesta buffet tonight (BOGO) and music after(FREE.)
3/8 130.0 Good gentle walk with Amy yesterday. I’m hoping that just keeping moving will be a benefit. Carl has an appointment with his retina specialist and our friends are joining us for lun-ner this afternoon so no gym. Wish I could transfer some of my DVDs to a flash drive or micro card so I could use them when we travel without lugging the laptop or another device!
3/9 129.5 I have a meeting in an hour. I need to get moving. Blahhhh!
3/10 129.0 Developed a migraine from sun glaring off cars during the meeting. It subsided a bit but I didn’t feel really well and didn’t want to go to music. I ended up fasting for about 22 hours because I just didn’t feel well. Woke up this morning with what feels like a hangover but haven’t had a drink in a week. Today I am doing nothing. Starting “Beef and Butter fast” tomorrow.
3/11 129.0 Ate Popeye’s chicken yesterday so this may go up in spite of what I eat today. Went to the movies yesterday and for the first time ever was NOT TEMPTED BY THE POPCORN AROMA!
3/12 129.0 Feeling great except I will try to take a nap. It’s raining in Las Vegas AGAIN! We have passed our average annual rainfall of 5”.11 -
I’ll definitely get the next round created today, 10
