JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 77

Been gone for over a year and, boy, have I gained. Starting back working out and tracking food. I'm at 163.8 as of this morning. My goal is 140 with muscle. Happy to see this thread is still going strong.

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 188.8 Not surprised by this gain. Ate tortilla chips for Mother's Day. Oh well, onward and downward.......
05/14 189.8 Uh oh!! I've got to get serious if I don't want to get back into the 90's! There will be a drop tomorrow.
05/15 189.0 Gotta keep it going down! Lot's of water, steps, and no wine today!!!
05/16 188.4 Not sure how I had a drop, because I went out to dinner last night. Had seared tuna and spinach, but also had a few bites of desert and wine.
05/17 188.0 Going to keep the scale going down over the weekend! Goal is to end lower than last round.
05/18 187.8 I thought I would have more of a loss than this. I got 16,000 steps yesterday and was good on my food and water.

Round 6! I'll be continuing my goals of tracking at least 10,000 steps a day, tracking my water intake, and exercising when I have it on my calendar. I'd like to lose 2 lbs this round.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/13 179.0 lb I'm both happy with and suspicious of this weigh-in. We celebrated a rainy Mother's Day at my parents house where I had three beers, a cheeseburger, and pasta salad. Then, my boyfriend and I drove home separately because I needed to drop off my brother and he needed to let out the dog. I decided to surprise him with some cannoli chips and dip and he decided to surprise me with a cheese pizza for dinner. 🤦‍♀️ I only got in 8,226 steps due to the rain and had about 40 oz of non-calorie drinks. I have a light day of calories already logged in my diary to hopefully maintain this weight, but I won't be surprised if it creeps up as my weekend choices catch up with me.
5/14 180.6 lb 11,788 steps were tracked yesterday and I had 73 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. I'm planning on going to the gym after work today. Breakfast and lunch are light to help with whatever calories are in the dinner provided by the boyfriend. I haven't really discussed my weight loss goals with him and I don't have any expectations for him to get a healthy meal for us. He and I eat differently; he will stop when he gets full and I'm a lifetime member of the clean plate club. My thinking is that since I'm looking to create long term habits, I should be learning to make the appropriate exercise and food choices to have a few higher calorie meals a week. So far, I'm enjoying the progress I'm making.
5/15 179.8 lb 19,874 steps and 66 oz of water and non-calorie drinks were tracked. I burned 350 calories on the elliptical at the gym, which was great because dinner was homemade steak and cheese sandwiches with tater tots and one beer. I've got a staff meeting this afternoon, followed by a long dog walk (about two miles if my Fitbit is accurate), and I'm ending the evening with pub trivia with the family.
5/16 179.6 lb Onward and downward! 14,268 steps and 59 oz of water and non-calorie drinks were tracked. We blew the final question at trivia, as we typically do, and I felt satisfied with two beers instead of my usual three. I'm planning on walking the dog for two miles and doing level one of the 30 Day Shred after work and then I'll be making chicken lettuce wraps for dinner.
5/17 179.6 lb We have about a month left in the school year and it certainly feels that way. I tracked 16,032 steps yesterday and had about 70 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. I've been drinking way too much Coke Zero, so I'm going to try limit myself to two cans a day. I walked the dog for one mile and did my workout after taking an unplanned afternoon nap. I'll be heading to the gym after work today and then I'll be preparing turkey meatballs over zoodles for dinner.
5/18 178.6 lb Feeling pleasantly sore today. I met my step goal with 13,640 steps, burned 350 calories on the elliptical, and had 61 oz of water and non-calorie drinks. I'll be doing lots of yardwork today to get it ready for a get-together next weekend and I'm looking forward to a dinner out with my boyfriend tonight.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/13 – 246.0 lbs. – I wanted to continue C25K training Week 4 Day 1. I realized I didn’t eat enough to go for the run. Went home cook a good meal and worked out with my hand weights during commercials while watching 911.

05/14 – 246.0 lbs. – I completed C25K Week 4 Day 1. My sinuses threw me for a loop, but I was determined to finish it. It took me a lot longer though. Logged my meals in MFP for the first time in months and I was under calorie goal with the exercise of course. Got home and did 20 burpees, 30 squats, 35 crunches and 30 plank jacks. The burpees were the hardest, but I did all 20 of them.

05/15 – 244.3 lbs. – Now that’s a nice surprise this morning!!! YAY!! The plan for today is to take a walk with 5 lbs. dumbbells. Then, 45 jumping jacks, 15 push-ups, 35 squats and 35 crunches.

05/16 – 244.1 lbs. – (Hey, I’ll take that!) The bread from that sub is probably to blame. I packed my lunch today. The walk with the weights was interesting yesterday. Seemed to make me walk faster and get my core involved. I felt a lot of soreness in my side last night. Today’s Workout: C25K Week 4 Day 2. I’m hoping to get through it with the prompts and not have to extend the walk times to recover from the runs. Then, 45 High Knees, 35 sec Plank, 35 Lunges and 15 push-ups.

05/17 – 244.6 lbs. – (Ok, I need to get some green veggies in my system) I packed my lunch again today!! I am so pleased with my C25K training and myself yesterday! I DID IT! I made it all the way through with the prompts (2 sets of 3 min and 5 min jogs)!! Yay!! I wanted to do more last night, but I also didn’t want to overdo it since my ankles were already aching. I plan to do a walk with 5 lb. weights today. Then 45 jumping jacks, 15 push-ups, 35 squats and 35 crunches.

05/18 - 243.0 lbs. - (oh yeah! Veggies putting in work!) Didn’t even workout like I planned to yesterday. Got up early this morning to complete C25K Week 4 Day 3. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy! Also did 45 high knees, 35 sec plank, 35 lunges, 15 pushups and the circuit from yesterday I skipped. Accomplished!!

@MSWDiet I thought the same thing as @allmannerofthings - I may have great plans when I shop but by the time everything is home and in the fridge, I have lost interest in it.

@jenn990205 Maintaining during events is awesome! Congratulations on not letting life derail you! Keep up the good work!

15 May: No scale. Doing well with calories so far. Hopefully no surprises when the time comes. 🤞🏼

Round 77 (my 9th)
OSW 382
RSW 335.8

After a bad end of last round I’m hopeful of staying on track and getting close to my first 50 pound loss.


05/13 335.2 A nice beginning of round loss. I’m hopeful of getting back and beyond the low I had middle of last round. I was fully on track yesterday and hopefully that trend will continue.

05/14 333.4 I’m cautiously optimistic about this weigh in. I was very on track with everything yesterday. I know that all the supposed gain of the last few days was water retention and this weight is very close to last weeks low. If I continue on track I might hit my mini goal this round.

05/15. 332.6 And back to a new low. I’m happy to see the weekend gain gone.

05/16 331.2 That’s on track and it looks like the last of the water gain is gone. I’ve hit my 50 pound lost goal and if I stay on track the rest of this round I might see my monthly goal weight too.

05/17 330.2 I’ see if this sticks, but I won’t be too surprised by a slight uptick. It’s not unusual for that to happen after a couple of large drops. I’m hopeful though because this is a half pound from my goal for the month.

05/18 330.0 Almost there, if I stay on track and low sodium I’ll see my goal for the month tomorrow. If not I know that I’ll see it before the end of the round.

I was under a lot of stress for the first few days of this challenge and dropped weight rapidly. You can basically see where the situation resolved--and now I have gained. I am still in a calorie deficit but my scale apparently didn't get the message. But then again, I didn't have a 3500 calorie deficit each day for two days either. Patience, right?

Round 2 for me. I lost 1.2 pounds the last round, and it is really encouraging to read the comments , the successes and the struggles that we are each experiencing.

05/13 83 kg - Travelling
05/14 - Travelling - Got a stomach bug; Walked!
05/15 - Travelling - Stomach issues continue; Walked!
05/16 82 Kg - I think this is because of the stomach flu. I tend to put on weight midcycle, and then lose it again closer to my period. So this could be that as well. Clothes feel looser though.
05/17 82.2. Why the chocolate at night? Also did not walk because I was too tired from the travel.
05/18 82 Kg Night eating is a problem. Snacking last night. A lot of stairs today! Today ate well - protein, complex carbs - millets.

***ROUND 77 (my 7th)***Day/Weight/Comment
SW this round (5/12): 144.2

05/13 145 Up 0.8 from yesterday, but not too bad considering it was Mother's Day!
05/14 144.2 Started my gradual bumping up of carbs yesterday (from 20 to 25 net for this round). I totally expected to be up today because extra carbs are accompanied by extra water, plus, I didn't hydrate well yesterday, so this is a nice surprise.
05/15 144.2 Hmmm, again? Not sure why, but it's not a problem. A week left to try to reach my GW for this challenge. 17 days in, I think I'm more fatigued on keto...paying attention to this...
05/16 145 I think this is going to be round of maintaining, not losing. It's okay. I dropped some solid pounds and inches over the last two rounds, so I'm happy with my overall progress! Not expecting any more big whooshes for a while.
05/17 144 Yep. As predicted. Up, down, up.

05/12 …..192.7 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

05/13 …..192.7 ….. Hard to believe weight is the same after 2 celebration meals yesterday. I watched portions but was way over on carbs. I’m sure it will show up on the scale in a couple of days. Very very sick today. Literally in bed all day. Either the flu or more likely some severe dehydration. I’ve been drinking a large amount of water today in bed. I think I may have worked hard on my steps for my birthday goal, but not taken in enough water. This is the first time I’ve sat up today. Heading back to bed now.
Good luck everyone on this round!

05/14 …..192.7 ….. Still sick but holding weight steady after Mother’s Day probably due to the illness. I have some work that must be done, otherwise, I’m pampering myself as I still feel horrible. No movement yesterday. I literally did not even hit 1000 steps---in bed all day. Calories were low because I felt so bad. I don’t know whether to expect an up (Mother’s Day festivities) or a down (sickness) in the coming days. We shall see….

05/15 …..192.6 ….. Movement in the right direction. Finally felt better by last night. I didn’t desire much food but I was back to craving “goodies” so I stuck to my standby Keto snacks to stay within my limits though it could have been better planned. I just wasn’t sure about my stomach quite yet. Yesterdays Stats: 1047 Calories In / 2415 Calories Out. 20 Net Carbs. 11,316 Total Steps & 4.81 Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 37 minutes. No planned exercise – I certainly didn’t want to push it. I now know it was a bad flu because others around me are coming up sick now too. Oh my!

05/16 …..192.6 ….. Higher calories & carbs yesterday as I was finally fully hungry & that monster reared its ugly head. I ate back calories but took a long walk to offset the macros a bit. Yesterday’s Stats: 1580 Calories In / 2625 Calories Out. 16,234 Total Steps & 6.87 Total Miles. IF 16:8 . 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I did not sleep any hours last night. Too much on my mind & didn’t feel tired. I will likely sleep like a baby tonight. I took a 75 minute walk to offset the extra 180 calories I ate. Kitchen remodel slowly continues so I have no livingroom floor to dance in still. Maybe I can use my hallway but the movement will be a bit restricted.

05/17 …..xxxxx …..
05/18 …..194.1 ….. I missed the weigh-in & post yesterday. So busy trying to go through all the boxes & laundry baskets full of food before putting it into my new kitchen cabinets. Checking dates etc. Kitchen not done yet, but cabinets are in. Over the next couple of weeks will be some electrical/lighting, drywall repair & paint. Just trying to clean it up before the holiday weekend so I can have my livingroom & kitchen back and maybe even have guests for the holiday weekend. I would love for my DB & DSIL to be able to come up from downstate & stay the weekend. Grab & go food again. So I sniffed carbs & quick foods and it shows on the scale. Not worried. Mainly water & I know what to do. It’s just going to be a tough week with little time for self-care.

5/13--207.8 Weight training at gym yesterday and then I took dog out for a long walk. Run tonight.
5/14--207.2 Did some snacking last night but stayed within my calorie goals. Went for a 3 mile run last night. Trainer tonight. Now that I realize that I snack a lot on the evenings I workout with my trainer I am already planning ahead. I did some research and found that the need to snack can be due to a need for protein, so today I am making sure that I up my protein intake after my workout. Hopefully that will help with my snacking tonight.
5/15--207.2 My plan to eat more protein after my workout helped. While I still snacked it was definitely less snacking than the last time I worked out with the trainer. Run tonight and then maybe yoga... depends on if I have to work late.
5/16--208.1 Bump is definitely due to my salty snacks yesterday evening. The snacking struggle is real. Was raining when I got home so I didn't go for a run, but I could have...was too lazy. Also did not go to yoga, but trainer is tonight.
5/17--208.3 Very tough workout yesterday so not surprised about the bump up. Going out for lunch and happy hour today, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.
5/18--208.7 I knew there would be a bump up after happy hour yesterday, but I had a great time. Even though I didn't feel like it I went out this morning and ran 5.5 miles...I was so proud of myself. I then decided to take some measurements and found I had lost 7 inches all over in the past 2 months...very excited! Today I'm going to take dog out for a long walk and make sure I get my water in.
