Goal: will this be the round to mark GW2? Was hoping that since round 71. Let's see.

05/03-94.6kg and 4,300 steps. Today is a good day, becuase today I get to mark Mini GW2! Been waiting for it for long, and probably not a good idea to start a round low, but I'm taking it with both hands! Woohoo!
05/04-94.6kg and 5,500 steps. Nice and steady. Should walk more.

Hi I’m Karen.
USW-187 Sept. 2018
UGW-135
Goal this round-157

5/3-159-Good way to start the round. I made bad food choices last weekend and did not exercise at all and it took me until Friday to get back in the swing of things. I have been walking my rear off and it’s paying off. I scheduled a massage for this morning and I am glad to be treating myself to it after this loss.
5/4-162-Not much walking and some heavy food. I will get out and do my long walk before I get in the car for the day.
5/5-162-I’ll take it. Traveled to a birthday party and ate cake and other things and thought it would be worse. Have a lovely Sunday.🌸
5/6-161–Not bad after a weekend. I have my work cut out for me.It’s Monday!!!! Let’s get with it!!!!!🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️🚰🌷
5/7-162-Salty food caused a swoosh up. I’ve been walking 7 miles a day and my clothes fit good. I will walk and go to yoga today and tomorrow the scale will look better.
5/8-161-I leave for a quick overnight trip...high altitude, so probably not much walking....we’ll see.
5/9-No Scale-Lots 13,000 steps doing yard work at my uncles cabin in high altitude.
5/10-163-I leave today and will not take a scale but will check in and report on my activities. Will be weed wacking a lot!

I am glad you are all here!☕️😊

Round 76:
45yo, 5’1”
All time highest weight: 206
MFP SW (this time): 148
1st GW: 125 by July 1
UGW: 115 – 120 by August 1

End of Round 75: 132.4 (Been sick). Difference: -4.4lb

Date / Weight / Δ /Steps / Comments
5/3: 132.2 / -0.2 / Didn’t wear Garmin / Had a fairly big dinner last night wasn’t sure how that would read today. A little loss is better than no loss.

5/4: 133.8 / +1.4 / 7237/ I knew my weight would be up. Pasta dinner and buttery movie popcorn with zero exercise to balance it out. Oh well, it will drop off in the next few days. Life without pasta and popcorn really isn’t worth it to me when I can moderate and still enjoy. Cheers y’all

5/5: 133.4 / -0.4 / didn’t wear monitor / Chinese last night, but a little of the pasta/popcorn day is dropping.

5/6: 131.8 / -1.6 / Didn’t wear tracker / False low as I wasn’t feeling well yesterday. I’ll still take it. I haven’t seen a 131 in quite some time.

5/7: 130.6 / -1.2 / 6139 / Though I’m liking the weight loss, I gotta get this stomach thing figured out. I ate some fruit for lunch, well a pear and half an apple. Just couldn’t finish it. Hubby bought my favorite pizza for dinner. Not a great idea on a tender tummy. I had one small slice and pretty much went to bed. Ugh…

5/8: 130.6 / 0.0 / 10,113. Feeling a little better today, but probably shouldn’t have gone to the gym. Oh well. A bad workout is better than no workout. Glad, but not glad that my fast weight loss will end. It will probably go up once I’m hydrated. Sigh, it was good while it lasted.

5/9: No Scale / - / 10,567. Still feeling like … I don’t even have a good descriptor. Have a good day y’all.

5/10: 130.4 / -0.2 / 5,404. Starting to feel better, but kind of weak. Skipped my walks and had a measly 5,404 steps. On the up side, even though I ate and kept fluids in my weight didn’t go up like I thought it would. Dehydration sucks, but I hope I’m going back to normal. I even had a bit of an appetite yesterday. Yay me!

Round 76 (my 8th)

Round 69 TL: -3.6 pounds 360- 356.4
Round70 TL -3.6 pounds 356.4 - 352.8
Round 71 -3.8 pounds 352.8-349
Round 72 -1.8 pounds 349-347.2
Round 73 -3.6 pounds 347.2-343.6
Round 74 -4.4 pounds 343.6-339.2
Round 75 -3.4 pounds 339.2-335.8

OSW 382
RSW 335.8

If all goes well this round I will be within fractions of a pound from a 50 pound loss. My goal this round is to get as close to that marker as possible.

05/03 335.8 Staying the same is fine with me. I had a higher sodium day yesterday and am having back spams since late last night. My energy level is back up, which will be nice once my back lets up.

05/04 334.8 There’s the after tom drop. My back is doing a lot better after a day of tlc and I’ll probably take it easy again today. Today is family movie day and I’m hopeful of limiting or even avoiding the popcorn this time.

05/05 333.8 My usual continued drop after tom, sometimes the whole drop stays, sometimes I have a bounce back up. I guess I’ll see what the next few days bring.

05/06 333 Another nice drop, but trends suggest that I will have a bounce back up in a day or two.

05/07 333.6 I’m not surprised by the bounce up I was expecting it. I was also over hungry yesterday and had to work not to just eat and eat. I shifted today to have a little more protein and see if I can have a smoother day.

05/08 333.6 I’ll see another drop in a day or two as I was more active yesterday.

05/09 333.4 Only a small drop, but that’s better than a gain. I’m on track for the week both with my weight and walking.

05/10 333 I’m surprised by a loss. I splurged and went over calories yesterday and I have a very sore back/chest muscle. I’m betting I’ll see any gain from the splurge tomorrow. My nsv was that a coat I had collecting dust is no longer tight on me.

Heck yes I am back! I love this group!
Name: Lauren
Age: 30
Location: California
Height: 5'8

Background -

I have been on the diet/wreckless food abandon cycle since I was 14 years old. It's the classic yo-yo dieter story. This last January I decided to make this the last time I'm losing that same 20 pounds by putting a greater emphasis on maintenance. So when I reached maintenance after round 71 I continued to stick around because this group is what really keeps my head in the game. So thank you all and especially the O.P. grandma Jackie 💜

HW (age 14) - 175 lb
SW Jan 2015 - 165 lb
lost down to 130 then gained back to 140 and within the last 8 months slipped back into bad habits
SW Jan 2019 - 147.5 lb
Maintenance goal range - 132-137 lb

R67-R75 results -

R67 EW = 141 lb; ∆ = -2.2 lb
R68 EW = 138.2 lb; ∆ = -2.8 lb
R69 EW = 135 lb; ∆ = -3.2 lb
R70 EW = 134.8 lb; ∆ = -0.2 lb
R71 EW = 133.6 lb; ∆ = -1.2 lb
~Maintenance~
R72 10-day-average = 133.1 lb
R73 10-day-average = 133.04 lb
R74 *missed* 10-day-ave = 133.2 lb
R75 10-day-average = 133.1 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

05/03 131.8 t = 133.1
Having a really hard day. Just feeling emotionally empty. I don't know what's wrong with me, but it's got nothing to do with my weight or food so there's that. I just want to go to bed but I have to go back for a second shift in 3 hours. I'm going to try to take a nap. Thank God it's the weekend tomorrow. Just gotta power through.

05/04 131.6 t = 133
I slept in this morning and feel so much better! My weight being down is probably just reflective of the later weigh in time. I have not been doing my yoga so my goal for today is to do one yoga video.

05/05 131 t = 132.9
I slept 11 hours last night because I took a sleep aid. So I assume my weight drop is just water weight as I ate 300 over maintenance calories yesterday, including 100 grams of sour patch kids candy 😂

05/06 133.2 t = 132.9
My weight may be up but my trend is holding strong so no need to fret 🙂
I actually had a great day yesterday, and since my weight has been trending down, I ate what I wanted, but mindfully. I ended up 400 over maintenance, but it's was all good! That's how weekends go! If my weight starts to trend up I will take Swift action 💪

05/07 132.8 t = 132.9
Yesterday was a struggle, but I think it was just typical Monday drag. Hoping today I will find more energy 🕵️‍♀️ lol

05/08 131.6 t = 132.8

05/09 132.4 t = 132.8
Sorry forgot to post yesterday. I overslept, but still weighed in. Still haven't been keeping up with exercise. I have not been tracking as accurately due to more eating out but my weight is good so I guess I'm still doing things right in the food realm. I keep telling myself that I can eat more because my weight has been trending down, which helps me not freak out. Tonight I'm making fancy Ramen for my special friend and it's gonna be a high sodium day!

05/10 DNW
Had a great day yesterday, but I don't have a scale this morning. So ready for the weekend!

5/3 173.3 Down a little. Walked three miles yesterday after work. I had the bright idea that I was going to walk down to the creek to check the water level after 3 days of rain. Three days of rain means mud... slippery mud.

5/4 173.1 Still going down if only slightly. Good food day yesterday. My trail walk turned in to an indoor walk thanks to more kitten rain.
5/5 173.8 Attended my great nephew's 1st bday party yesterday. Food served: hot dogs, potato chips and cake. Even when I wasn't watching what I ate I would not eat hot dogs and potato chips. I hate both. So Saturday was a bad food day, good breakfast but a carrot cake cupcake for lunch. I worked in the yard for a couple of hours before I went to the party. I know I shouldn't have this much yard work to do but the first 3 weeks were tree/brush clearing. I was able to burn the first of the wood I cut myself in the firepit, probably the best part of the weekend.
5/6 174.3 Sunday wasn't much better food wise but I mowed, planted a ton of flowers, and got in a 2-mile walk. I was too tired to go much further and the trail was too muddy to try. I learned my lesson falling in the mud.
5/7 172.6 Whoosh!!! Almost 2 pounds overnight, adios agua! The weekend was actually mentally very taxing. Too much family, one friend got sick while on a 1 man road trip - he's 2 states away and I am helpless. Finally a reminder of my bf's cancer (technically in remission) which as he calls his early expiration date. He's losing weight but hasn't changed his diet. I ended up leaving work yesterday to "work from home" (yes I know how lucky I am to have this privilege). Which I did until 3:30, then I went for a walk. I had already committed to giving the roommate a ride home from work, so I stopped my walk took her home and went back for another 3 miles. Five miles total, in the woods, part of it in the rain. It's just what my soul needed. I am so happy to have found something that soothes me that's not ice cream/doughnuts/pepperoni pizza.
5/8 172.8 Slight jump. Did weights last night, might be a little water retention from that. Driving to StLouis today, driving back to KC tomorrow. I’ll walk tonight, looking for a new StL trail.
5/9 No Scale Good day yesterday. Walked 4 miles - fastest time yet 1hour and 3 minutes. I'm getting so close to 15-minute miles I can taste it. Way under on calories, so probably I'm up... hahahaha Driving home today and then a hair appt this afternoon.
5/10 172.3 Woohoo for Round low! Unexpected trip to Colorado this weekend. One of my best friends is in the hospital and not doing well. I have to go see him. No scale and three days of eating out Since it’s such a long drive (8.5 hours) I’ve scouted a few places to walk. Good juju for my friend, he has multiple blood clots in his lungs and heart and is in ICU. I’m not going to use this as an excuse to self harm which is what eating badly really is for me.

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.

Start Weight Feb 2018 - 202
Next Goal - 170 I will get there.

May 3 - 175.2 - I started swim lessons last night again. I haven’t been in the water since my last set ended in August. This is a stroke improvement class and this instructor is probably the best I have had. Weight is funnily low today, not sure how much I trust it, but it was nice to see.

May 4 - 179.4 - I don’t believe my scales anymore. I have changed the battery and the fluctuations are still a bit insane. I guess I’ll have to break down and get another one. I was expecting to be a bit up today though because yesterday was not a good eating day.

May 5 - 176.2 - I had a good day yesterday. Stayed within my calorie goals and got a little exercise in.

May 6 - 175.6 - had a good day yesterday calories were a bit over and sugar intake was definitely higher than normal.

May 7 - 176.2 - another fairly decent day yesterday. I need to buy some groceries today and get other things besides carbs in the house.

May 8 - 176.4 - I was hungry all evening last night I don’t know why. I managed to stay within calories but it was a struggle.

May 9 - 175.0 - had a great eating day and got some exercise in!

May 10 - 176.4 - I don’t know how accurate my scale is, it also showed 169.4 this morning but I don’t trust it.

5/3 - 196.0 - There's that drop

But I've already let myself get waayyy too hungry and made a not-so-healthy choice for lunch

Hoping that doesn't derail me too much, need to get better about that
5/4 - 196.4 - We had pizza last night, so not surprise by the slight bump up and expect another bump up tomorrow. Will try to reign it in today and tomorrow so this bump up is just temporary

5/5 - 197.4 - Yep, expected. Today we are going to a birthday party but will try to make good choices.
5/6 - 196.0 - Yay! So happy to see this number this morning! Had a couple cupcakes yesterday and that may show up tomorrow, but I'm still happy

5/7 - 196.3 - Still okay, hopefully will see this go down soon
5/8 - 195.3 - Had a super busy day yesterday and ended up way under on calories, so trying not to get too excited as I return to my regular eating; expecting a slight bump tomorrow

5/10 - 194.8 - Was in a day-long meeting yesterday.. There was pizza.. I resisted for and hour or so, but then gave in to one slice, but stuck to that one slice! Hopefully that doesn't start an upward trend going into the weekend; I guess we will see tomorrow!

ROUND 76 (Round 18 for me)
5’4 ½” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
Goal: Maintain between 135 and 140 lb. and increase muscle mass
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-70 = 43.6 lb.
NSV: 1) I’ve stayed between 133 and 137 lb. by (pretty closely) following a keto WOE.
2) Lab work a couple of weeks ago was normal with only one exception, slightly high LDL (bad cholesterol). HDL and triglyceride levels were very good! (In 2012, before I gained weight and started keto, I was slim, running, lifting, and the doctor attributed my LDL level to genetics.)

I can’t believe I missed 5 rounds, but I’ve continued to weigh daily, when I’m home. I’m glad I came back at the beginning of a round—great timing! Tax season was followed by a 7-day cruise to celebrate my husband’s birthday and the end of tax season. I ate and drank extra non-keto stuff and gained 3 lb. by the time I returned home, but it’s gone now.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03 133.6 I feel good, and, so far, I’ve found it easy to maintain my weight, thanks to limiting deviations from the keto WOE. I’m confident enough to not bother counting calories and carbs (I learned what and how much to eat from my record keeping in the beginning.). Keto has truly become a way of life for me. I’m not confident enough to stop weighing each morning. If weight is up, I cut back, and, if weight is down, I eat a little more. It’s a rainy day, so no walk for Thor and me today.
05/04 134.0
05/05 134.6
05/06 134.4
05/07 134.8 I had some catching up to do here, but I still weighed every day. I took a friend to see the movie Breakthrough yesterday, and I ate a lot of popcorn. The movie was great. Chrissy Metz is a great actress, but I feel bad for her. I suppose her size helped her get the part. I ate a couple of keto taco cups when I got home, and I was still stuffed at dinner time. I managed to eat half of my stuffed salmon, but I put the rest in my spinach and cheese omelet this morning. That was good.
05/08 134.2 My Red Hat group had Italian food for lunch today. The restaurant didn’t have fresh salad greens, so I had soup and cannelloni (tasty, but not on my keto list). I’m not stressing out since I’m below the 140 lb. limit I’ve given myself. It’s nice to have a little leeway.
05/09 133.8 A little low, but better than too high. I was supposed to play cards with friends today, but vertigo comes and goes, and this morning it was bad, so I stayed home. I’m better now and finished a good Bible study. I don’t allow myself to post here until I complete my Bible study—gotta have priorities and keep God at the top of the list! Now, I need to see about doing some housework, which I forgot to put on the list. I’ll play some Bob Marley for inspiration.
05/10 132.4 If I was still trying to lose, my weight wouldn’t drop without extra effort. Bob Marley (okay, his music) helped me get some housework done yesterday, but there’s always more to do. The rains have been a blessing, but I look forward to a break so Thor and I can get back to our walks. Since the weather is warming up, we'll have to get up early to walk. I'm not good at early morning wake-ups, so that will require self-discipline.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/03--207.6 Lowest weight in about 3 years. Went to trainer yesterday...my trainer complimented me on my strong back, I felt really good. Hubby and I practiced our dancing last night.
05/04--207.6 Going for a run today, The weather is supposed to be great here today so later hubby and I will be taking the dog for a long walk and then going out for dinner.
05/05--207.4 Perfect weather in the PNW yesterday for a run...ran for 4.5 miles. I went out for dinner yesterday and ate something that I have a food sensitivity to so I expect a bump up in the scale over the next couple of days, but I made a conscious decision to eat the food so I'm okay with that. Went to the gym this morning. My husband was impressed that he could see the definition in my shoulder muscles as I was tying my shoes...it's funny how a compliment about something like shoulder muscles could make my day.

05/06--208.5 There's the jump I was expecting. I woke up with a tummy ache and felt heavy, so I knew the weight gain was because of me eating food I was sensitive to, but back to my non-sensitive food eating today. Doctor's appointment today and run later today.
05/07--208.3 Ran 2 miles yesterday, was going to run longer but it was a little too humid. Trainer tonight.
05/08--208.7 Sore from trainer yesterday and was so hungry when I got home. Snacked and didn't drink a lot of water today. Will make sure to get water in today. Run today and then yoga.
05/09-208.5 Was pretty warm when I went out to run yesterday so I cut the run a little short. Yoga was great. Trainer tonight.
05/10--208.7 Had a great workout yesterday. My trainer, who is usually on the subdued side, was giving me fist bumps.

Round 76

5/10 172.3 Woohoo for Round low! Unexpected trip to Colorado this weekend. One of my best friends is in the hospital and not doing well. I have to go see him. No scale and three days of eating out Since it’s such a long drive (8.5 hours) I’ve scouted a few places to walk. Good juju for my friend, he has multiple blood clots in his lungs and heart and is in ICU. I’m not going to use this as an excuse to self harm which is what eating badly really is for me.

@shunggie You are always so present for those you love. I am glad to hear that you are showing up for yourself too. I am saying prayers for your dear friend. I hope he will respond well to treatment and will have a swift recovery.

05/03 - 313.3 lbs - I felt good yesterday, and feel like I'm finally in a place to stick to it again. Glad I found this challenge!

05/04 - 312.2 - still feeling good. Working on writing when I want to eat so I can try to evaluate if I'm actually hungry or if it's a bored/emotional/binge thing. So far that's helping, I think...

05/05 - 310.4 - had a crazy busy weekend and was really proud of myself for not just allowing that to excuse poor eating choices. Made healthy food choices all weekend!

05/06 - 310.0 - I had gotten a little used to the water weight falling off, so what's stupid is that losing almost half a lb was disappointing. However, I am managing to keep carbs low without even really trying too hard. I'm trying to get used to only eating when I'm hungry, so far so good.

05/07 - 309.2 lbs - feeling pretty good. Kind of stressed because I'm getting ready for a rummage sale. But my brother brought over Pizza (my worst binge trigger) but I limited myself to just eating the toppings off of one slice. It put me close to going over my carb goal, but eating the whole slice would have been way worse. So I'm happy! 😊😊😊 Hooray for half way through the 10 days!

05/08 - 309 lbs - I slipped up and ate more than I wanted to last night. But still kept my carbs low. I'm not disappointed. I always hate the initial water weight loss when I first start because I get used to it, so I have to keep reminding myself this was all just water weight. And from now on, it's not going to be such drastic weight loss every day. It SHOULD be less than a lb fluctuation everyday (in either direction). So now I have to focus on sticking with it even when I don't show a big loss everyday. I'm doing the keto diet, and I feel like keto flu is creeping up on me. I have a headache that I cannot get rid of.

Also, for anyone else doing keto, (because it's been a long time since I started keto), but once you're first in Ketosis, do you notice you have a strong craving for meats and cheeses? Ever since last night, I feel like I can't get enough meat/cheese, which is weird. It's why I ate more than I wanted last night, and it's really difficult today to not just tear into the string cheese in my fridge haha!

05/09 - 308.8 lbs - I thought I posted this yesterday, but I can't find it. Felt good yesterday

05/10 - 306.8 lbs - I didn't weigh until after I'd had some water, so super pleased about it. I overslept today, and didn't have time to weigh before I had to take my daughter to school haha! The weight loss must be a "woosh". I think I'm getting the keto flu, feeling crappy today. But loving the lack of appetite haha!

Hi everyone! I love this challenge most of the time, but the ones that we have to end on a Sunday or Monday kill me, lol. Oh well, would love to see 146 something this round and to stay out of the 150's again. Ended high last round because of my anniversary dinner, but also saw new lows through out the challenge, so hopefully we can continue the downward trend.

EW Rnd 73: 148.8 (10 day Avg 149.51)
EW Rnd 74: 151.9 up a couple pounds because of vacation and Easter (no 10 day avg/didn't weigh 5 days)
EW Rnd 75: 148.8 (10 day Avg 148.41)

05/03 - 147.3 back down to Wednesdays weight before my bloody Mary sodium gain, lol. I am ending this week with a 3/10 of a pound loss. Not exactly what I was wanting, but it is a loss so I will take it. My 5 day average was down almost a whole pound, 8/10 of a pound to be exact, but still good. The weekend is here and all I want to do is stay under 150! Happy Friday everyone!

05/04 - 148.2 had a couple beers with dinner last night and ate super late, but ate super low calorie. Should be back down tomorrow. Water water and more water and no alcohol!

05/05 - 148.8 what can I say it’s the weekend. Had pizza for lunch(only 1 piece) and tacos and rice for dinner. Not even close to enough water and not one vegetable or fruit all day. Running errands and will be restocking the house for the week today.

05/06 - 151.0 Weekends are always a killer for me. 3.7 pounds up from Friday. I did have steak last night, which I try and stay away from because it seems like it stays in my system for a while and takes longer to digest. I should be down by Tuesday or Wednesday.

05/07 - 149.1 And there goes most of that steak weight. It does it to me every time, but I love it! Oh well, headed back in the right direction. Half way through this round and still looking for a new low. My 2nd oldest graduates next week and my plan was to be below 145, I don't see that happening, so hopefully I can get within a pound or so of that.

05/08 - 147.9 And there goes the rest of my steak dinner. Good day with water and food yesterday and on track for today. My 10 day average is up right now and so is my trend weight. Need the next couple of days to be really good to get that back down. That 151 through everything off so working hard to see a 146.xxx and to get my trend weight down a couple of ounces. 4 days left to do that!

05/09 - 146.7 I have finally reached a new low, lol and just with that 1 number my trend weight is going back in the right direction. I have done really well all week and was hoping for a decent size drop this time around. Had a really busy morning so didn't eat lunch till about 3 this afternoon and I am only at about 350 calories for today. I am going to try and get 1 of my snacks in now and eat a decent dinner tonight and hopefully balance out. If I can hold this number or see another small drop by Sunday I would be thrilled!

05/10 - 146.5 I'll take it. Had a drink (but only 1) before dinner with my hubby to celebrate my son's last day of high school! We now have 2 that have graduated and are officially adults (graduation on Thursday), 3 more to go, lol. Had a good dinner and finished the night within calories. We have our daughters choir banquet tonight, so hopefully there is something I can eat that is somewhat within my calorie allowance. Making today another low calories day to bank some for tonight just in case.
