Day/Weight/Comment

03/24 - 140.5 - I did not expect a lower number this morning. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
03/25 – 140.5 – Holding steady after the weekend is unusual for me. No complaints!
03/26 – 140 – I’ve got some health issues right now, so I’m not sure if this drop over the past week is due to my diet or not.
03/27 – 140.5 – I’m OK holding here, I’ve been trying to up my calories a little without eating extra carbs.
03/28 – 140.5 – OK!
03/29 – 139.5 – Well, I’ve got plenty of wiggle room for the weekend.
03/30 – 140.5 – The weekend bump started and that is fine.
03/31 - 141 - Planning to work about 8 hours from home today so I won't get many steps in, but I'm still at the low end of maintenance so all is good.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 — 193.3– I had a small sweet coffee filled with chocolate and sugar. Happy that didn’t cause weight gain. Back on plan today.
03/25 — 192.4 — Had a medium, very sweet coffee today. The rest of the day was on plan.
03/26 — 192.7 — Getting back on plan today.
03/27 — 192.1 — Husband decided to get Subway sandwiches for dinner last night. So proud of myself that I passed that up and made myself a healthy dinner (and saved money). I know they have some healthy choices, but I like knowing exactly what I am eating.
03/28 — 191.3 — Made goal for this round. Hope to lose more.
03/29 — 191.1 — I feel “lighter” all of a sudden. Clothes are looser and the jeans I just bought are 2 sizes smaller.
03/30 — 190.4 — I think this may be my “Whoosh” moment. Losing 3 lbs in 1 week isn’t normal for me. Hope it doesn’t bounce back up. I had a very sweet coffee today. Back on plan for dinner.

03/31 — 190.6 — Back on plan today. Finally had someone tell me they could tell I’ve lost weight which felt good. 23 pounds down since January 😀😀

Round 72:
SW 216.6
CW 194.2
GW for this round 192.0

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24: 192.6 - I started out this round with a loss from yesterday! Yesterday was also our 16 year anniversary, we went out and neither of us felt like drinking. Probably saved myself a ton of calories. Hope this loss sticks

03/25: 191.6 - I'm really liking this trend and I hope it sticks around! TOM is almost over so this is a little expected.
03/26: 190.6 - The weight on my drivers license is no longer a lie! This makes me even more motivated to stay on track!!
03/27: 190.6 - I'm surprised. Didn't drink very much water yesterday and had spaghetti for dinner. I stayed within my calories though. I think I'm finally getting the "everything in moderation".
03/28: 190.4 - I'm happy with that.
03/29: 189.2 - I made it into the 180's! I liked seeing that number. Now, just gotta avoid an increase lol
03/30: 189.8 - Barely hanging on to the 180's. I had lots of carbs yesterday and little water. Definitely need to work on more water.
03/31: 188.2 - I like the number! I didn't do well on water yesterday like I planned though.

SW=240.5
Goal= a loss for round 72
03/24 Sunday 240.5
Did spend some time being active outdoors today.
03/25 Monday 237.4
Tracked all my food today for the first time since starting this challenge in the last round. Always seem to end up around 14% protein instead of 20%. Tried PB Fit peanut powder mixed with water on toast and liked it.
03/26 Tuesday 237.4
03/27 Wednesday 233.2
03/28 Thursday 233.0
Maybe things will start settling down from some crazy water weight loss. It's a major achievement that I have been tracking and not overeating this week.
03/29 Friday 236.6
Feeling optimistic, like I can do this. Don't want to get ahead of myself, but would love to be able to wear some of the clothes in my closet that are currently too small! My hardest days are going to be my days off. I work Mon-Thurs, so have 3 of those to contend with each week...
03/30 Saturday 232.6
03/31 Sunday 232.6 . Went over my goal by about 500 calories yesterday. Had a couple of deficits earlier in the week, it's going to take a while for me to figure out how to manage my work day/ off day calorie balance. Did make my protein goal before going over on calories. Tried the Sprouts chocolate whey protein and it wasn't great. Have a few other samples to try.

Female 55

Lost down to 180 doing lazy keto last spring, but the summer vacations came and then the holidays
and I put all of the weight back on. I am going to be consistant with tracking my food...good or bad...and
get healthier this year.

Starting weight on 1/9/19 203

Goal for round 72 is to end below 190.

Day/Weight/Comment
03/24 191.6 Surprised by this pound loss, because even though I stayed on my plan, I ate throughout the day
and only got 8,000 steps. Plan on taking a 5 mile walk around the lake, drinking lots of water and staying
keto.
03/25 192.2 Walked 13,000 steps yesterday, and stayed below my calorie goals, but did not drink much water.
03/26 192.2
03/27 192.6 Ate under my calorie goal and walked 11,000 steps. Not sure what's up...
03/28 192.2 My body seems to like 192. Just gonna keep plugging on..
03/29 191.2 Ok! Let's keep this going!
03/30 191.8 Not sure why the increase. Walked 13,000 steps and stayed below calories. Did not get enough water, though.

Aww, come on. Ppffftttttt.

03/25 - 149.6
Still struggling a bit with evening snacking, but at least they're not sugar. Working on it.

03/26 - 149.6
It's a beautiful, sunny day here. Off to the Y for weights and then a walk outdoors. Yay!

03/27 - 149.6
Okie dokie. Hangin' out here for a few days. No problem. My crocuses are starting to bloom, birds are courting and building nests in my nest boxes, and the cold wind feels like Spring cold, not winter. All is well.

03/28 - 150.2
Too much salt yesterday and not enough water or exercise.

03/29 - 149.6
The bad news - I'm not dropping the weight I regained Nov-March. The good news - I'm averaging more calories than seems possible and seem to have hit a balance point, suggesting that my metabolism is faster from regular exercise + a little more muscle. So I'm working at cutting my calories a bit, but also feel pretty optimistic that I''ll drop the weight when the weather settles into "lovely outside" and I get back to my long walks, some hikes, and putting in a new perennial+annuals garden (we moved in a year ago May and our backyard is a blank slate). I still have some pain and stiffness from PMR, but feel MUCH better than I did all last summer and fall. I have to get blood work next week to check my inflammation levels again, but can't help but think they're down since I feel so much better. I see a new rheumatologist April 8, which should be interesting. I'm still determined not to take prednisone, at least not long term. So now I'm off to the gym and then to look for paint to paint a garden bench. Thinking some luscious shade of violet. Have a lovely weekend, friends! Oh - and look who has moved into my front porch! House finches.

03/30 - 149.6 - 10-day ave 1679
Yesterday was a good day food wise, though I did skip the gym. But I went shopping (rare for me) and walked quite a bit. I'm getting back to tracking my 10-day calorie average, which served me well before and, like weight trends, makes more sense than daily numbers. I just joined a walking/hiking challenge run by our city & county parks, local land trust, and a couple other organizations - hike 10 of 14 designated trails and earn a thingy to fasten to a walking stick or wherever. I'm going to try to get in all of last year's trails as well, plus I'm challenging myself to hike at least one day at each of most of our beautiful state parks (I figure since some are a pretty good drive, those will be two-dayers!). This round may be a wash (again), but next round! Yeah, baby! So happy to see Spring, even if today is gloomy rainy. Happy weekend, all!

03/31 - 149.6 - 10-day ave ~1600
Snow! We got snow last night! But the rest of the week will be 50s+, so ok.

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

03/24 205.5 Had barn day yesterday. Put in almost 13k steps but probably negated it with Mexican lunch and a huge margarita. Need to start daily bike riding or walking again.

03/25 DNW I was running late this morning (on purpose) and was dressed before I realized I hadn’t weighed in. Need to track, track, track to get myself back in the habit.

03/26 206.7 Stressed out to the max. Do really good with eating at work but lose absolute control at home. Never fails. First horse show of the year starts next Wednesday. Let’s hope my chaps fit. Ugh!

03/27 209.5 Let's try this again. I had already posted for today but apparently my Dad's laptop has a mind of it's own and I lost it all. I weighed in this morning in my work uniform. It was just easier than zooming downstairs in my skivvies and then going back up to get ready for work. It'll even itself out as I get into a routine. I am still not logging 100% of what I put in my mouth but I am always a work-in-progress.

03/28 207.? So I use a Fitbit Aria scale and I noticed that it did not sync my weight from this morning. But I swear I saw 207 something so I'll take that. Last night I did get OUTSIDE for a 1-mile walk. It felt GREAT to be outside and I cannot wait to do it again. It's supposed to be warmer today but I think it's going to rain. Boo! I did better on my tracking until I grabbed that cookie on my way up to bed. Grandma being at our house has REALLY stressed me out. She does NOT shut up while we sit quietly and watch evening television. Unfortunately, my ability to just tolerate or tune her out has decreased enough that I just want to lash out at her and then it gets ugly. Then all I want to do is eat! Ugh! #FamilyProblems

03/29 - 207.3 Thursday I went outside and walked again after dinner out with my girlfriends. It felt GREAT to be outside. I'm really looking forward to warm weather. My knee was pretty upset with me but I'm going to start small and build up. No running!

03/30 208.6 I actually ate a full sleeve of thin mints the past 2 days so thank goodness those are all gone. The sushi that I had on Thursday night usually causes water retention so I'm okay with the gain. No walking Friday night. It was raining after work and honestly I was in bed by 7pm and OUT!! Woke up at 1am, turned off my bedroom lights, and went back to sleep.

03/31 208.2 Saturday was barn day. We have our first show next week (Thurs to Sun). I rode Spark and Lego since I am showing both of them. Then we had our friend Mary (who is a yoga instructor) come to the barn and we all did an hour of yoga. I didn't eat the best but I did a ton of exercise so hopefully that evens things out.

03/24 95.5 usual little weekend bounce. Taking a bit of a maintenance weekend to see if I can get rid of this virus! So no running, no spinning and eating a little more than usual. Although I did spend all day yesterday and today in the garden getting ready for growing season. Have all my veggies down now so looking forward to a lovely summer diet of fresh vegetables from the back garden!
03/25 95.0 guess i was working harder in the garden than I thought over the weekend! Back to running this week… I have 12 days left until graduation, out of the 3 dresses the one I want to wear most turns out to be the tightest… typical… so just have to see if I can skim a little bit more off so I can wear it comfortably!
03/26 94.8 nice to be back running again, 11 days until graduation! Also... My bmi is now 29.9.... I'm just plain ol' overweight now! Not obese! Woohoo!
03/27 dnw was up late to get kids to school so had already had breakfast when I remembered I hadn't weighed! Now had the ultimate joy of trying on my dresses, 2 fit but I still feel so frumpy in them! as I've gotten older the excess seems to gather on my tummy, it used to gather on my hips, which gave me a fat *kitten* but I couldn't see it so it was fine (ish) but now I feel like I've got a spare tyre from a bus sitting around my hips and I just hate it as I can see and feel it all day! My husband is zero help as he just tells me to get used to it because it's part of getting old! I don't want the tyre and I will never “just get used to it”!
03/28 94.4 nice little drop! last week to put in the work to drop the last bit for graduation! The graduation is a completely selfish thing, no one else gives a monkeys about it but i spent a long time working hard to earn my masters so I will be selfish on this one!
03/29 dnw mood taking a nosedive so I'm going to just relax a bit this weekend and come back to it once the black cloud lifts! I get very low moods with my period so I know how to deal with it and I know it will pass but it's bloody annoying!
03/30 dnw relax and take it easy, no logging and no weighing!
03/31 dnw mother's day here in Ireland so I'm going to head to the gym today to try to balance the eating of chocolate!

i actually meant to weigh but completely forgot! Monday tomorrow, start of a whole new week!

03/24 133.8 t = 135.4
I made my trend line goal!!! 🤸‍♀️
Saturday was so lovely. My parents came down and brought my grandpa and their elderly basset hound Molly. At this point I do think I want to gain weight or maintain so I gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted. Spicy guacamole cheeseburger was delicious! I ate half and my side was a Cesar salad instead of fries. And I drank half my beer. We walked around the creek with Molly since it was a perfect day and then had frozen yogurt. I didn't hold back on the toppings! After they left I plugged everything in to MFP, I had eaten 2,044 calories! Welcome to maintenance! Haha. But I was over my goal so when I went out dancing Saturday night I vowed to "stay sober", I.e. no liquid calories. And according to my Fitbit (and my scale apparently) my exercise calories ended up evening it all out! Yay! Victory!

03/25 133.2 t = 135.2
I need to keep reminding myself "I don't want to lose anymore weight, I don't want to lose anymore weight..." I don't need the dopamine fix of the scale going down. I need the fix of the scale going up! At least to 135 where I felt better. Today I vow to eat to my goal of 1720!

03/26 133.2 t = 134.9 😺
Cal in: 1747; Cal out: 1920. I am super surprised I haven't gained anything since increasing my cals. I am going to check the batteries in my scale later today. I ran out of my go to snack yesterday (Atkins pb bars) and I ordered a replacement but it's a different brand (Pure Protein) and they don't arrive until tomorrow.

03/27 132.4 t = 134.6
1800 cals in; 1987 cals out. I don't understand why the scale went down, it has fresh batteries. But I'm not complaining. Today I will eat 1900 cals!
By 4:30pm yesterday I was only at 700 cals, so I needed to eat over 1000 before bed. So instead of panic, I went to the grocery store to get ideas. I wanted high cal, low sodium. I ended up making myself a steak salad with lots of goddess dressing, and for dessert I had raspberry truffle Haagen-Dazs ice cream and I added 100 grams of real raspberries to give me extra fiber to pass all this food in the morning, haha! Oh and I started my TOM yesterday.

3/28 132.4 t = 134.3
1777 cal in; 1725 cal out
I was not very hungry yesterday and consequently had a hard time sticking to that 1900 cal goal. But on the other hand I was pretty sedentary (only 3,700 steps). So, maybe my appetite is tightly attuned to my activity level? Wouldn't that be nice 🙃 As long as I only ate when I was hungry (and not emotional/bored 🙄🙊) this would be easy 😂
Overall I'm really feeling great! And I hope to go for a jog later today and eat my 1900 cals!

2/29 132.8 t = 134.1 😃
1902 cal in; 1929 cal out ✔️
I ended up doing a super short jog last night when the rain stopped. It was nice but today I am sore. Last night I wasn't hungry for the 1900 cals but I really don't want to lose anymore weight so I ended the night with more raspberry truffle Haagen-Dazs ice cream! That stuff is calorie dense and delicious, it makes it easy to add an extra 450 cals at the end of the day! Although I did go to sleep full which was weird.
Today maybe I will try to have a bigger breakfast.

3/30 133.4 t = 134
1963 cal in; 2021 cal out ✔️
There's that jump in the scale I was expecting from food bulk in NY system! But I'm not worried for two reasons A) I know it's physically impossible to gain a pound of fat from the amount of calories I'm consuming/burning in three days.

I'm still at the bottom of my maintenance range, gaining is good!
(Part of me does want to end the round at a loss, but I know that has to end sometime since I'm in maintenance 😂).

Yesterday was really good activity wise. I had a long walk and did 50 min of yoga.

3/31 132.8 t = 133.8
1775 cal in; 1953 cal out
Yesterday was such a nice day. It was 70 degrees so we just went and sat in the sun at the park. Today I have an interview with a new family to work for so I'm getting excited for that! I'd also like to go for a jog later to enjoy this beautiful day.
Tonight I'll be staying in a hotel room as I'm gonna go help my friend with baby-sitting while she's in meetings tomorrow. I'm super excited as her child seems very sweet.

@tiabirdie56 Tish, 1/4 cup of that mix isn’t much and at 10g of carbs, I wouldn’t eat it but I have to keep my carb limit much lower than you do.

@Lilylady3k I think you need to drink more water. Half your weight in ounces (232#/2= 116 oz) JMHO

@SheilaBoneham Looking back at your spoiler - you were losing from round 46 - 59, was that when you were doing the elimination diet? Perhaps you have added back something you shouldn’t have.

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.
3/23 128.0
********
3/24 129.0 Had a headache after family brunch didn’t leave the house. High salt late supper at home.
3/25 129.0 No control over where visitors chose to eat but making the best choices possible for ME. No big TMI visits for a couple of days so feeling really bloated!
3/26 130.0 Still no TMI. Sweet DSIL is coming to stay with us for 3 days so eating should be much better. Taking her daughter to the airport. Going to El Pollo Loco as often as she wants because she loves it and doesn’t have it at home!
3/27 128.5 How much does your weight change over night?? I was 133.5 when I went to bed last night! What a difference one day of eating and getting plenty of water can make! I’m posting before anyone else gets up and then hope to catch up on all the past posts.
3/28 128.0 Celebrated granddaughter’s 16th birthday a day early because my SIL is leaving in the morning.
3/29 128.0 Today we’ll watch grandson at robotics regional. Up at 5 this morning to take SIL to the airport. I need a nap.
3/30 128.0 Trying to catch up on posts between quals at robotics.
3/31 129.0 Too much salty stuff - no problem.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS - ROUND 72
