05/23 185.2 Nice to start the round with a drop that I was not expecting! Annual trip to the ballgame with DS1 so ball park food for dinner swapped beer for diet coke and gave him my fries but still expected a sodium jump. The game went to 13 innings so we didn't get home until the wee small hours of the morning so I will have to be extra vigilant about my choices today. I have now done 7 days of no sweets- need to keep the streak going.
05/24 IDK! Scale gave 185.6 and 187.2 maybe 186.4? A good day yesterday,was proud of myself for making good choices despite being very tired. The uptick is probably delayed reaction from the trip to the ballpark.
05/25 186 after work BBQ yesterday skipped the beer, chips and potato salad but really enjoyed the bratwurst and the sunshine! A little stress eating - a handful of ritz crackers - but way better than a handful of chocolate bars 10 days no sweets!
05/26 184.4 ! slept till noon so that's part of it! Had a good workout yesterday and a nice walk in the evening, back in time to see the end of the basketball game - so nerve wracking! Other than that a lazy day yesterday no errands, no chores, no meals - the boys had pizza and I had left overs (salmon and asparagus so i didn't suffer!) Lots to do today - but tea first!

RSW: 199.0 lbs
05/23: (199.6 lbs) I managed to turn down free donuts for breakfast and candy for lunch, and I also turned down a Dr. Pepper later, so that's good. I caved later on and had cookies and cheezits I went up a little bit I think it's because of yesterday, not today.
05/24: (198.4) I had a klondike bar and half a cookie at lunch instead of sticking to what I packed. Not my best, but certainly not my worst. I turned down free ice cream (you don't realize how often people offer you free dessert until you have to say no 😭). I lost a good amount, which I'm happy about.
05/25: (196.4 lbs) I think my weight is so much lower today because I'm so dehydrated 😅 All I've had today is coffee and cookies because I'm saving up calories to go to a friend's house later.
05/26: (195.0 lbs) I'm even more dehydrated today! I have a headache but I'm out of advil. I hardly had anything to drink yesterday and saved up too many calories in the morning. We had thin crust pizza for dinner instead of normal so I didn't eat as much as I thought I would. I'm losing a bit too fast right now, I think I'll increase my calories.

***ROUND 78 (my 8th)***
SW this round (5/22): 142.8
Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 142.8 The same weight as the past few days. So I am having a really tough time increasing my carbs, which is a strange thing for me! I only committed to do keto for one month to support my husband, and hopefully, to break the previous stall (which worked well). That was halfway through Round 75, and I've lost 10.8 lbs since then! Inches, too, a lot of them.
But. I did the keto thing for 2 years previously, and I don't want to go that route again as a lifestyle I can do forever (because I can't). And I don't want to risk blood vessel inflammation by suddenly eating the way I did before (sticking to my calorie limit, unlimited carbs), so I need to gradually add carbs. Why am I having trouble with this? I don't know.
05/24 144 Lol, broke that mini plateau, but not in the right direction! It's okay. I'm reading a lot about healthy carbs and I think I'll continue to gain a bit as I add some in, because they carry extra water. But if I hadn't stepped on the scale this morning, I would have been sure I'd lost weight. I feel good! Going to take measurements again at the end of this round.
05/25 142.2 Better! Still under 30 g of net carbs, and I will probably hover around this level for a lot of this round, as I'm shooting for 35. It's an interesting experiment to ditch the carbs and add them back in so thoughtfully. I've satisfied my sweet tooth with 85% dark chocolate (daily), diet sodas, and occasionally, awesome homemade keto desserts, but no added sugars, and that feels good. By the Fourth of July, I'll be having (portion-controlled) watermelon!
05/26 143.4 For me, keto= slow digestion now and then, and things are currently sitting in my stomach, so I'm not worried. This is food and water weight, not fat. Around 34 g net carbs yesterday.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

05/23 – 143 – I hope I can hold on to this weight for the next couple days before the weekend festivities begin.
05/24 – 143 – So far so good.
05/25 – 142.5 -
05/26 – 144 – My rings were very tight this morning, so I’m assuming this was water weight. However, after our picnic today, I’m sure I will be up tomorrow due to the food and drinks. It’s OK though, one day won’t derail me and we had a lot of fun.

05/23 - 136.1 (-.8) - off to a good start. Did yoga yesterday and some other random cardio. Ate chips for the first time in awhile but didn’t go overboard, ate healthy otherwise. Not feeling bloated but I do feel sore from yoga.
05/24 - 136.4 (+.3) - feeling bloated. Food and exercise was good yesterday.
05/25 - 136.4 (0) - worked out quite a bit (yoga and cardio), drank 11 glasses of water, healthy food.
05/26 - 136.4 (0) - I believe TOM is hitting again in a few days causing water retention. Will see. Happy there hasn’t been a gain!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 181 lbs - went out with a friend last night and had some Mexican food and two cocktails, so I was expecting a bit of water weight this morning. Hoping to have dropped it by the weekend, but I’m positive I will.
05/24 178.9 lbs I was hungry most of yesterday even though I wasn’t even that active. I snacked on strawberries mostly and drank lots of water.
05/25 179.3 lbs No idea where this comes from. I was well within my calorie limit yesterday and even worked out some 🤷♀️
05/26 178.4 lbs Sometimes I don’t get it. Had burger (without the bun) and a few fries yesterday and was sure I’d gain a pound of water weight because of the sodium alone. I guess I did sweat it out in the gym last night 😜
05/27 178.2 lbs slooooow but steady 🙄 did really well yesterday, both with food and water intake, so I’m hoping to see results soon.

05/25 70.1kg. I think the scale has gone crazy or I've found a sweet spot on my bathroom floor!
05/26 70.1kg on official weigh in Day. Down 1.4kg for the week. 70kg was my old maintenance weight before I put loads on. But now I'm going down more to where I was when I 1st lost weight.
05/27 70.0kg 1st major goal and 7th mini goal reached in 20 weeks I'm 18kg {39.6 lbs} down. I haven't been this weight for 5 years!! Next major goal is 63.5 kg which was my maintenance weight 20 years ago.

@wcollett60 I hope you do well with the C25K! I think it's a great help to get started, and the races are fun! Now that I'm older, I've figured out I have to strengthen my knees before I can run without hurting myself. I'm starting again with a little jogging during my walks. We'll both get there! Enjoy the journey!5

ROUND 78 (Round 20 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 = 44 lb.
I started and finished the last round below my maintenance range. I like the keto WOE and, mostly, stick to that, but I add extra carbs when I’m under 135.
Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 134.4 Ten days go by so quickly! Yesterday, I did a 3.5 mile walk with my dog, Thor, in the morning and strength training in the afternoon. Today was a rest day, and I played Canasta with friends. My shoulders were sore today, so I’m glad it was a rest day.
05/24 134.2 Thor and I walked about 3.5 miles today. We jogged about a half mile of it, only up-hill and flat areas—no down-hill. My knee isn’t bothering me now, the orthotics have relieved the Morton’s Neuroma problem in my toes, and I’m pretty sure I can work up to running again. I miss running 5K and 10K races. I’m sticking with the strength training, too, and that helps my knees.
05/25 132.6 Part of this drop is because we didn’t get to bed until 3 a.m., and I didn’t get up until almost 11:30! A late start makes for a short day. Tonight, I don’t plan to stay up that late. I haven’t don’t today’s cardio workout in my strength training program, so I’m about to do that. Tomorrow morning, I leave early to sing, with our gospel group, at a church in the area, so I’ll miss my own church service. Since I lead the singing at my church, I try not to miss very often. My sweet husband will take over tomorrow, but he’d rather just play his guitar and let me lead.
05/26 134.6 I intended to go to bed early last night, but it was after 2 a.m., and up again at 6:30. (sigh) That always results in a higher scale number, but it’s still under maintenance, and I had a good day. The morning concert went well, and I took a nap before working in the yard. I didn’t get my strength training in, but tomorrow’s another day.
Before dark yesterday, my husband brought Thor in and said Thor had alerted on a rattlesnake in the yard. My husband said he’d take care of it, so I continued with my cardio workout. A few minutes later, DH knocked on the back door and again on the front door before I could get to either, so I went out to look for him. I grabbed a hoe and heard the snake in the front yard before my husband showed up with a spade. Well, the rattlesnake waited for me to go back in the house and get my revolver loaded with snake shot, and I ended his threat to our tranquility. What I didn’t realize until later was that I was in the front yard, shooting a snake, while only wearing short shorts and a bra. Fortunately, we live in the country, and it’s possible only my husband saw me. Praise God, all is well.
