Round 72 SW 194.6 Goal EW 189 5.6
Goal I want to stay in the 180's but a 2 pound loss would be nice.
04/03 187.5 Whooooo Hooooo! down 2 from yesterday
04/04 188.4 not surprised, I really didn't feel well, and did not eat enough on the 2nd, so yesterday's weight was a lot. I did discover lettuce wraps this week ( i know I am late to the party... but YUM! )
04/05 187.8 day off yesterday, out of routine, glad to be on track today
04/06 188.7 annoyed.... but heading to 8 am kickboxing on sat!
04/07 188.8 wrong way!
04/08 187.8... good
04/09 185.8 I am not sure that this loss will stay. I am at the end of a challenge at work, so I thought I would try keeping my carbs below 30 for a few days. It worked, but I don't I want to do it full time... I will get there with what I have been doing.

Round 73
Please join us! Starting on 04/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 73
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

@amn0619 If exercise and restriction fatigue is setting in, maybe consider a short break after this round? Up your calories to maintainance, ease off the exercise for 2 days or so? FWIW, you're doing great!7

10 DAY GOALS: Planning to (1) log everything carefully over the next 10 days with 1200-1400 range (2) eat noon to 8 pm most days (3) Try to boost TDEE with small daily movements to achieve 2000 steps daily (I'm disabled and I often get less than 1000 per day)

GW for this round:151
***ROUND 73 (my 3rd)***Day/Weight/Comment
SW this round (4/02): 153
04/03 153 Off to a strong start! Yesterday I ate well, though I continue to struggle with meeting my protein goal of 60 grams. I'm always under. It's hard on just 1200 calories! How much that affects my fat loss, I don't know. Tomorrow I predict I'll be up by a few due to fast food meals with a lot of sodium...
04/04 153.6 I'll focus on the positive first: I made my step goal yesterday. Don't laugh when you read this- I did 2000 steps. You read that right. I have mobility issues and I'm usually at 1000 or less, so this was an accomplishment for me! Now for the negative...oh, wait, it's not as bad as I predicted! Only up by 0.6 lbs. Whew!
04/05 152.6 I did 3,267 steps yesterday just walking around the house more, and I'm so proud of myself. I got to eat grilled cheese and tomato basil soup with my family last night by tracking portions (half the sandwich, butter measured carefully, measured amount of soup).
I feel like I'm going to be successful this time because I'm doing 3 things in conjunction I've never done before: (1) weighing DAILY, (2) logging every bite and sticking to my calories DAILY, (3) giving and getting support from the MFP community DAILY. Oh, and perhaps equally important: (4) I'm being patient and forgiving, trusting the process enough not to freak out and give up if I stall or gain. This is a mindset shift, not a diet!
04/06 155.4 Per yesterday's insight, trying not to freak out. Had a lot of trouble eating enough yesterday, and didn't eat quality foods (cheeseburger, pizza, ice cream). Loaded with sodium. I know. Not at all balanced. Because I'm IFing, it is *sometimes* difficult to get in the junk plus the healthier stuff that would provide more balance and nutrients. The solution is obvious- eat the good stuff first, then add in treats if there's room, right? Better yet, skip the junk. I'll get there. But I'm not there yet. I've always gone extreme cold turkey in the past and burned out. This time, I'm focusing on not going over my calories, drinking tons of water, and moving more. The healhier foods will come eventually.
04/07 154.6 It was a slightly better eating day. Lunch was at a sub shop, dinner was BLTs with avocado (btw, my meatball sub sandwich was gross and I didn't even want to finish it, but I'd already accounted for it- anyone else ever make this mistake?). I was doing okay with my higher number on the scale until I realized from my MFP progress graph that it was the same weight as TWO WEEKS AGO. A real stall! I guess with all the bobbing up and down, I hadn't realized. Boooo. So then I felt super discouraged, but my MFP friends saved the day and gave me some great advice and encouragement. Two big takeaways: If I keep doing this, I'll be thrilled a year from now (strategy #4 from 4/05 check-in above) and I should be taking measurements to chart progress as well.
04/08 155.2 Managed a Beachbody workout yesterday, did not make my step goal of 2000 steps. Family went for a dozen donuts plus donut holes. Donuts are the one food I'd say I have zero self control with, and...let's just leave it at that. Today is a new day. Maybe it'll average out by the end of this round, though I'm farther from my R 73 goal of 151 than ever. I'm going to revise my goal to 153, my starting weight for this round. Four days until the last weigh in, I can do this!
04/09 154.4 All right, I feel back on track. I did 3500 steps yesterday, most at a moderate walking pace. Tracked my calories well, and I am on target for this week's calorie cycling experiment. Sunday's slide into donutland didn't set me back by a week- I'm truly making those famously important "lifestyle changes" I've always heard about!

04/03--211.6 Great workout with trainer yesterday. Yoga tonight. I'm also supposed to go out and do a 2 mile run, but there is rain in the forecast and I hate running on a treadmill...whether I go out for a run will be a last minute decision.
04/04--211.4 Rain held out yesterday so I was able to go out for a run. Worked out with trainer tonight.
04/05--211.2 About 1 year ago my husband promised to take dance lessons with me. For the past year he has tried to get out of his promise, but I recently found an intro 4 week dance class that I thought would be perfect for us because it's only 4 weeks and we get to learn a different dance every week. My husband agreed to take the class and tonight is our first lesson...we'll see how it goes.
04/06--210.7 Well last night's dance lesson was great. My husband was chewing at his lip for about the first 15 minutes of lesson, it was definitely out of his comfort zone, but he did loosen up. At one point I even heard him tell a woman who had rotated as his new partner that she had much warmer hands than his wife. Last night's lesson was the rumba and he did promise that he would practice during the week. It was nice to go out and do something different. Went out for a 3 mile run today.
04/07--211.2 Weightlifting at gym today. In-laws came over today and we went out for lunch. I chose something to fit in my calories, but ate some extra snacks while they were over at our house so I expect it to show up on the scale tomorrow. Going to drink some more water today.
04/08--211.6 I don't think I'm out of the woods yet with the scale after yesterday's eating, but I'm back on track today. Run tonight...hopefully it won't be raining.
04/09--210.3 Did not go out for a run yesterday. Even though I had a headache I still felt guilty about not going out to run, but when I heard the thunder and pouring rain outside soon after I got home from work I didn't feel guilty anymore. I did some extra snacking last night, the first time in a long time, but I did drink a lot of water yesterday to help with my lack of water over the weekend. Hubby agreed that tonight we should practice our dancing. Trainer tonight.

My Round 1 after restart, Round 20 total
Day/Weight/Comment
4/3 161.8 First day back on track officially, thanks to my husband for leading the way. It's been an emotional 2019 but I can only control myself and only change myself, so here goes! It took me 4 months last time to lose 15 lbs, lets make this even better. I know the cycle doesn't start until tomorrow, but I am tired of postponing so here I am right now.
4/4 161.8 Have my day planned out, started with a 20 minute meditation, then walked the dogs with my child. Ate breakfast and logged it, will have a light lunch and early dinner. Yesterday was an emotional throw in the towel day but I'm back on track today.
4/5 160.8 Good day yesterday, met my goals. Today's goals Meditate 20 min, walk with my child and dogs, deliver work stuff, stay on course with my eating. Grateful that I have this resource to come back to and for the accountability.
4/6 161.4 Headachey but that's good I know I am detoxing from all the sugar and empty calories I have been indulging in. Had a good day yesterday.
4/7 160.8 Got through the migraine yesterday relatively unscathed, did not resort to food to cure it, so that was a success. Today is my oldest son's birthday, we are going to Lucille's BBQ, and I am looking forward to the celebration. It's been since January that our family has been on a self imposed hibernation. Things are beginning to look a little brighter.
4/8 hiccup

Day/Weight/10-day Calorie Ave/Comment
04/03 - 151 - 10-day ave 1807
Well, harumph. My 10-day ave came down slighty, but yesterday I did have a series of snack attacks - big blueberry muffin + way too many nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews) + 2 Reese's PB cups. Not all at once! No, I spread my indulgences all through the day. Anyway, I'm off for blood work to recheck my inflammation levels and then for a long outdoor walk and then the gym for weights. And grocery for snacky veggies. And I need to drop the habit of eating while I write (I'm a writer/author and have a bad inclination to eat while I work). Gaaa! I really don't know what's gotten into me - it's been 4 years since I started this journey in earnest and I was definitely "in remission" re. sugar and simple carbs and just plain over eating. One thin I can do is go to the library to work - no food allowed! But also no coffee or water.... Anyway, today is another new beginning, right? Right.
04/04 - 151.6 - 10-day ave 1787; 7-day ave 1852
Yesterday was a very good day - some exercise, calories in line, macros good, low sugar, no stupid snacking....all good. So this increase is due to 3 crazy high-calorie days out of the past 6. But I feel finally that I'm really back at it - maybe I needed a blow out to find my way back.
04/05 - 151.2 - 10-day ave 1758, 7-day ave 1694
Good news for me - yesterday I had blood work to measure inflammation, which I've been fighting for the past 10 months. One measure is now in the normal range, the other just barely over. They were both VERY high last fall. I refused to take prednisone long term, despite a lot of pressure from doctors, and I attribute the improvement to regular exercise and to working toward optimum (rather than "within reference range") levels of vitamins D3, K2, B12, and magnesium. I'm relieved and more hopeful about resolving this for good in the next few months. Oh, and my pain has diminished a lot. Yay!
04/06 - 151.4 - 10-day ave 1770; 7-day ave 1719
Well, doesn't look like I'll make my half-round goal tomorrow. Sigh. I'm tempted to go back to the elimination diet - I eliminated pounds on it last summer! We'll see.
04/07 - 151.6 - 10-day ave 1979
Ate within bounds and went for an hour+ walk yesterday. All is well even if I’m not losing yet.
04/08 - 151.8 - 10-day ave 1953
Darn it. But it makes sense since my average is still too high. That's fine, what goes up must come down!

@meljoemom You asked if you had to set a goal. No, that is up to you. If you do, it doesn’t have to be a weight loss goal. Perhaps just logging in every day, weighing daily or logging what you eat. This is a super supportive group. Weight loss is different for everyone and not linear. There will be bounces and stalls and whooshes. If you do set a weight loss goal, make it reasonable. You will not lose 25# in 10 days. At what is considered a reasonable rate of 1.5-2# per week, you could lose roughly between 2-3# in 10 days. When you first make big changes, you lose quickly-mostly water weight. When you have a bad eating day, it may take 2-3 days to show in the scale. Sorry this is so long. It’s only part of the knowledge I have gained from a lifetime of dieting. I no longer DIET. I have found a way of eating that, for me, is sustainable. I will continue for as long as I am on this planet.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.12 -

Lately I’ve been on the same cycle of eating well for a week or so, then bingeing for a couple days. I’m hoping this challenge will keep me accountable and on track.

Day/Weight/Comment
4/3 - 174.6 - 175.4 is the right weight, abs workout yesterday. - 43g carbs, 41g net carbs. Carbs were: fried chicken, cabbage, grain free granola.
4/4 - 174 - 37g carbs, 28g net carbs. Carbs were: mexican squash w/vidalia onions (so tasty, but so carby!) peanut butter. Lots of stretching needed today from glute workout. 🙀yow!
4/5 - 176.8 - Probably 175.8 I drank 16ozs of water just before weighing. Still holding fluid from butt and leg workout. Muscles are still on a low hum😃 My knee told me, unh-unh yesterday, so no walk. It was feeling unstable. Stretching and balance exercises accomplished. Raining today, but if it doesn't pour down, I may go for a walk in it. 40g carbs, 29g net carbs. Carbs were: cauliflower, peanut butter, mexican squash w/vidalia onions.
4/6 - 175.8 - 30g carbs, 24g net carbs. Carbs were: peanut butter, salad, salad dressing.
4/7 - 177.4 - Not surprised. I was not hungry for my first meal until the 19 hour mark (2pm) I don't fast on Saturdays. I did an arm and shoulder workout at 10:30pm and felt hungry afterwards. So I ate again at 12am! 51g carbs, 50g net carbs. Carbs were: crackers, green juice, grain free granola.
4/8 - 178- 85g carbs. Carbs were: everything I ate contributed to my carb count. I broke my fast at 2:30pm and "dinner" was 2 brownies.
4/9 - 178.2 - Don't want to see this number, but I have to exercise! Another late evening workout. Not much cardio yet, only what my knee allows, as I stretch and strengthen the supporting muscles. I am seeing improvements 😀 24g carbs, 17g net carbs. Carbs were: peanut butter, pumpkin seeds, cauliflower, green beans.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/02 …..191.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
04/03 …..189.6 ….. Those bits & pieces of calorie deficit & low carb each day finally added up to over a pound loss on the scale. Now I just need to stay focused. 1059 Calories In/2865 Calories Out. 8 Net Carbs. 17,881 Total Steps with a busy work day & a planned long walk. 8.56 Total Miles. IF 12:12 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 54 minutes. I took a long moderately paced walk totaling 150 minutes. I did not eat back my 717 Calorie burn for the walk. Another busy day at work. I must take the time to pre-plan my food so I don’t “grab & go”. That always ends in a nighttime binge & an overall disaster. Not today, nope, not today. Determined.
04/04 …..188.8 ….. More improvement. Such a busy work day yesterday with no time for planned exercise, but I was on my feet a lot for sure! Today will be even busier. I started spring cleaning in one of the cabins. EVERYTHING comes out, including furniture. Wall washing today! Yesterday’s stats: 1234 Calories In / 2601 Calories Out. 13,188 Total Steps & 5.58 Total Miles. IF 12:12 . Today I will go back to 16:8 in fasting as I was working on a metabolism reset. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 13 minutes. Yesterday was another good eating day which paid off!
04/05 …..189.8 ….. Just not good at all. Worked physically hard yesterday but mostly not a lot of walking. Spring cleaning a cabin which I will complete today. Horrible stats for yesterday due to a binge late night. Best estimate on MFP food journal: 2340 Calories In / 2549 Calories out. 201 Net Carbs. 10,130 Total Steps & 4.31 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 6 minutes which was probably a sugar crash. This is how it works & no amount of wishful thinking or regret can change it. Only I can through my actions. I’ll never give up.
04/06 …..189.8 ….. It comes off so much slower than it goes on! Holding steady thankfully after a late dinner out with son. I had a heavy work day again with little chance to exercise. Today I take my DGSs for their hair appointments & lunch. Tomorrow one of them has a birthday. I’ve got to get through these next two days without much damage so I will try to stay on high alert. Yesterdays stats: 1473 Calories In / 2471 Calories Out. 145 Net Carbs. 13,461 Total Steps & 5.7 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 37 minutes. Did elliptical for 16 minutes but exhausted from work day. Have a nice weekend everyone!
04/07 …..189.8 ….. It’s stubborn but so am I. I didn’t expect much movement after spending most of the day with my DGSs & my son yesterday but I enjoyed my time. Yesterday’s stats: 1850 Calories In/ 2123 Calories Out. Best guesstimate is 120 Net Carbs. 8,043 total steps & 3.4 Total Miles. IF 16:8. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 38 minutes. I hope you all had a wonderful Sunday. I attended my DGSs 11th birthday party & enjoyed more family time.
04/08 …..190.0 ….. A slight tick up but not bad considering I attended a food driven birthday party for my DGS. I am learning more control in the social situations. Not where I want to be yet, but an improvement. Yesterday’s stats: Best Guesstimates on food: 2257 Calories In / 2610 Calories Out. 176 Net Carbs. 14,446 Total Steps & 6.11 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 57 minutes. I danced for 47 minutes last night. Sample song “Shakin” by Eddie Money. Today will be better & I will be 100% on track & I couldn’t be happier about that!
04/09 …..190.0 ….. 1829 Calories In / 2579 Calories Out. 126 Net Carbs. Peanut butter toast & milk got the best of me. 14,367 Total Steps & 6.08 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I fell asleep exhausted & slept 5 hours & 58 minutes. I could have used even more sleep. I took a short 22 minute walk & enjoyed the sun a bit yesterday. Otherwise, it was a heavy work day & today will be heavy too. I’ve got to tighten my belt if I expect to see change!

Thank you. I ALWAYS gain on the weekend. This weekend I went out to eat with my daughter and then a beautiful 5 mile walk. Afterward, I could not get enough water so I drank and drank and drank. I'm sure the gain is mostly water and if things go as usual, it will come off just in time for the weekend, lol8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
04/03 153.3
04/04 153.2, need to be better about tracking food. I am good for breakfast and lunch and then at night I forget to log and weigh.
04/05 152.6, back at my lowest weight. Hope to be able to stay in the 152s through Monday.
04/06 153.3, back up but know it was from lasagna and caeser salad yesterday. Sodium was much higher than usual, but will make sure to be at 100 oz today of water and hopefully will be back down by Monday
04/07 153, ate well yesterday and exercised for 70 minutes on amt machine. Going to a basketball game tonight so weight might be more tomorrow, but going to enjoy the game!
04/08 152.8, feeling confident I can end this round in a loss. I know I might see an uptick over the next couple of days for some of my choices yesterday, but had a such a great time last night!
04/09 152.8, usually I see a gain 1-2 days after a splurge so I’m very happy to see this number again. Hopefully will see it tomorrow, but again wouldn’t be upset if it goes up a bit. I don’t have any event planned til Easter than will derail me too much
