Round 78
I'm 32, 5' 2" female, from Glasgow, Scotland
USW: 172 lbs (Jul 2018)
R78 SW: 142.5 lbs
R78 GW: 140 lbs
GW: 133 lbs
UGW: 126 lbs
R78 Goal: Have been in maintenance (+/- 3 lbs) since December 2017, going for weight loss again as still not happy with what I see.
This is my first week back following Slimming World alongside calorie counting so this is my first round of 10 days to give me some accountability.
10K steps daily (a bit harder to do on the weekends but will try)
23/05 - 141.5lbs (-1lb) and 10,311 steps
Was expecting a maintain or small gain this morning as I had the most amazing banana ice cream float last night, it was free so who am I to turn down free ice cream?! 2 gym sessions on the planner for today; getting my new weight training programme from the gym instructor at lunchtime, then it's circuits after work before my usual 20 min walk home. I always tend to eat 'better' on the days I exercise so expecting a loss tomorrow 0:)
24/05 - 140lbs (-1lb) and 13,267 steps
Very achy and sore today after starting a new weight training programme, and I did a Circuits class last night too. I'm really hoping I don't blow my calories over the weekend - my snacking tends to be out of control at weekends which is why I'm doing this challenge. Had my 7am workout this morning and will do a Functional HIIT class on my lunch break. Food all planned out with an extra 300 calories built in on my gym instructors advice.
25/05 - 138lbs (-2lbs) and 13,471 steps
Had a really good day of eating and exercise, the DOMS were real!! However, after dinner we had an unexpected offer of a night out so although it pleases me to see 138 on the scales, it's a false reading as is most likely down to dehydration.
I'm really really ill so wont be eating much and trying to drink as much water as i can.
26/05 - 138.5lbs (+0.5lbs) and 7,539 steps
Expected the small gain after the previous nights partying. I managed to eat 2 slices of pizza before I crashed out at half past 7. Didn't get my 10k steps and not likely to get them today either as the weather is rubbish.
27/05 - 143.75 (+5.25lbs) and 7,309 steps
Well this was always gonna happen. Its all fun and games til the hangover munchies kick in and you make horrnedous food choices. Most of that gain will go over the next couple of days. Its bank holiday Monday and i'm not at work, but im still going to the gym later on.

Day/Weight/Comment

05/24. 133.4 - 4.5 miles walked pushing my toddler grandson in his pushchair for his nap!!!

66 years old and 4.11
1200 calories a day
USW 161lbs (4 April 2019)
R78 SW 151lbs
R78 GW 148lbs
UGW 121lbs
05/24 weight 151lbs: goal to do 30 mins on treadmill - tick
05/25 weight 151lbs: goal to do 30 mins on treadmill - tick
05/26 weight 151lbs: goal to do 30 mins on treadmill and drink 1500ml water - tick. This challenge really works as a motivator. I've not done one before, not done any social media before, but I can get into this. There is no way I would have done 30min treadmill today if I hadn't got into the challange. Finding it hard to get 1500ml water in but I have done it for last three days just because I put it on my challenge goals. I usually just drink tea but not having so much tea and coffee means I don't have to waste cals on milk. I am sticking to 1200 cals so this is going to be a slow slog
05/27 weight STILL 151lbs: goal to do 30 mins on treadmill - tick - will get the 1500ml water in by end of day. Getting a bit disheartened now but I'm not giving up. The scales kissed 150lb but jumped back to 151.0 so was really good and logged 151. I'm going to start to put the .ounces in now. Since I started the challenge havent done less than 16k steps. Yesterday I did 22k steps, all day in the garden putting in veggies, hoeing etc. Agreed not much cardio or peak fat burn going on but I thought I would have gone down a notch. Ah well, hopefully tomorrow will see the drop. Logging every bit of food I eat, even logging it before I eat it to make sure I dont go over, how sad am I

Ending weight round 76 - 143.7

UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's. Will see what's attainable when I get in the 130's
Goal for round 78 - would like to see another pound gone. Will be a challenging round with a holiday weekend and my TOM due to start during this one. I’m going to use this accountability thread to stay focused.
5/23 - 142.0. Shocked at the drop considering I ate at a restaurant for lunch and had a little bigger dinner than usual because friends were over. Wins: short weight lifting session and 2.5 mile walk. Made a good choice at a restaurant, I know those meals are full of sodium but calorie-wise it was low with lots of veggies. Need to work on water intake, still feel dehydrated this morning.
5/24 -142.0. Glad to see this number stick around another day! Wins yesterday: 5 miles walked and a gentle yoga class. Hydrated well after waking up feeling dehydrated. Went a little over calorie target but not by much. 3 day weekend ahead with lots of fun plans, I'm hoping I have the self-control to stay close to my calorie target each day and at least maintain this weight.
5/25 - 141.8. Liking this trend! TOM coming soon so enjoying it while it lasts 😊. Wins yesterday: weight lifting session, hydrated well, successfully avoided cake and pizza at a neighborhood party. I did have some fun snacks though so I was able to indulge a bit without going overboard - used up my calories on stuff I enjoy more.
5/26 - 142.9. Uugghhh!!!! I get so frustrated at this. We went to a cookout yesterday and I had a burger and some chips but stayed within a deficit, no alcohol and no dessert. I also did a really tough HIIT class and a 2.75 mile walk. I’m really hoping this is a combo of sodium/red meat and TOM coming this week and it will drop off later this week. I feel bloated today.
5/27 - 142.9 again. I really hope this is TOM bloating 😩. Took a bodycombat class and walked 3 miles, hydrated well. Went to the last of 3 parties for the weekend, friend’s birthday so I did have a small cheesecake serving (made in cupcake tins so it was small) but other than that food choices were good. No plans today thankfully so maybe I can lose some of this bloat??

5/23 No Scale - I will update the numbers for the last round and beginning round tomorrow when I get on the scale after being in New Orleans for 4 days. I have hope, I haven't gone crazy and I have exercised every day. I've been drinking a ton of water to help with sodium. I went to a beach in Mississippi yesterday and walked four miles. I never get to walk on the beach. Had cheap fresh grilled tuna tacos for dinner. Delicious!!!! I love that my job allows me to travel to places I wouldn't have otherwise, though it makes staying on task difficult.
5/24 172.4 I'm not thrilled, but not mad either. I am down for the round, though up two pounds from when I left. I KNOW I didn't eat enough to gain two pounds. Hopefully, I'll see a drop tomorrow or the next day. My sick friend is out of intensive care and off the ventilator. It was touch and go for two weeks, but he's definitely on the mend. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. It's Friday before a 3 day weekend - WOOHOO!!!!!!!!
5/25 172.0 Still going the right direction. Got three miles in yesterday, trying to get another three in today between showers. Missouri is flooded everywhere. Trails are hard to find that aren’t under water at least in spots. Some of my flowers look beautiful, some are so beat up I’m not sure they’ll recover.
5/26 172.2 Small uptick isn’t ideal but I got a little too into some Boom-Chicka popcorn last night. That’s ok. I measured every ridiculous bite.
5/27 170.9 Woohoo! This was my goal weight for the round. Good day yesterday. Nephew and girlfriend came over and I played with the baby (now toddler 18 months). Brought out the pool she was too small for last year. She loved it but never sat down. She crouched the entire time. Love her. I should be able to get a walk in this morning. Maybe I could see 160’s if not this round, than next one for sure.14 -

05/23 - 159.8
Pretty good day yesterday, but today will be better since we polished off the rhubarb ginger crisp last night.
I have today's food planned, plus a walk and some gardening if the rain will please stop for a few hours! I have a new trellis to put up - yesterday I painted it a gorgeous shade of violet and I have a yellow clematis to grow up it. Maybe I'll post a pic when I get it up. (The neighbors in my very beige & gray neighborhood will be in shock!)
05/24 - 161
No! This has to be water and/or delayed response, because I ate within bounds yesterday. Sigh. But on the plus side, I worked several hours in my garden yesterday, planting, moving, planning.... This is a big deal for me because last year I hurt so much from the inflammation I was fighting that I couldn't bend and kneel. Now I need to go buy some more plants!
05/25 - 159.8
Whatever. Here's a photo of the new trellis I mentioned. I'm planting yellow & maybe orange climbers, and perennials & annuals in front. Digging to do! I'll update in a couple of months when it's all abloom. Off to enjoy the great outdoors! Have a lovely weekend, all!
05/26 - 160.4
05/27 - 160
Doesn't look like I'll make my goal this round. I have stopped "goofy eating" the past couple of days and and my calories have been fine the past few days, so some of this may be sodium from soup & a burger out yesterday.

GOAL. This month I am planning a non stop dieting month. May 13th-JUne 13th I will be dieting non stop, fasting and will only allow 3 cheat meals at most (not days) and keep them limited to events I can not control (meaning no Saturday morning high calorie breakfasts that potentially will derail the rest of my day) this is an experiment to see what I could potentially accomplish if I stuck to it for the whole month. 8/31 accomplished so far..

5/23 135.8 9/31 accomplished holding steady I guess
5/24 135.8 x day. My brothers birthday so I indulged in some cake. 9/31 accomplished, still holding steady
5/25 137.6 10/31 accomplished a slight gain from yesterday's indulgence. I will see what my weight says tomorrow but it is a little concerning. I have been doing 16/8 fasting (so far straight with no breaks) and I hope this isn't a foreshadowing of weight gain from not sticking the course
5/26 137 11/31 accomplished a slight drop, that's good. Completed week two of my fast. So far so good I am watching my micro/macros as well as my calories I just hope I see some better results come week three. I am switching up my fast for this week because I had my mother complain over the weekend about my 24 hour fast on Sundays, considering the past two Sundays have been family dinners. I found another one that is more flexible for weekends but will probably switch back if there are no plans. Is anyone else fasting? Do you use apps? I am using body fast app and was wondering if paying for the couch would be a good idea, does anyone here use that app? Does anyone have any stories to share about their own fasting experiences...

@abowersgirl I have been fasting for a while! I do 16:8, eating from noon-8 p.m. daily. I previously ate from 3-8, and I haven't done that in a while. I use the Vora app. Fasting does have some possible health benefits that haven't been too rigorously studied yet (e.g., cellular repair), but my main reason is that I'm on 1200 calories, and fasting helps me keep my hunger and caloric intake in check. Ironically, as you've likely noted, when you regularly fast, you're less hungry at the times you would have eaten.
Ultimately, it's still your overall calories that matter more than the fasting time. I've done 32-hour fasts, 19-hour, etc., and they haven't worked any better for weight loss than counting calories. Find your comfort zone!

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.
05/27 142.2 33 net carbs yesterday. 5 days into this round, and I seem to be maintaining, not losing. Need to reevaluate what I'm doing.

05/26--206.1 I can't believe that I am down over 3 lbs after my trip to visit my parents. While I didn't eat a huge amount I did go out for dinner twice, I didn't do much exercise, was resting my hip, I didn't drink much water, and I was expecting some water retention from the flight. Well, my hip feels better, but not 100%. I'm supposed to see my trainer today, so I'll see how that goes. My hubby cleaned our house and even cleaned my car while I was gone...I should go out of town more often. Goal for today is to go food shopping, get back to my normal eating, and just relax.
05/27--207.4 Not surprised about the bump. Worked out with trainer yesterday which was the first time I worked out in about a month, so definitely some water retention. The workout was great. My hip held up for most of the workout, but I didn't finish the whole workout as my hip started to tighten up a little near the end of the workout. I am going to try and go out for a short run today and see how it goes. Going to see a movie and then relaxing for the rest of the day.

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.

May 23 - 176.8 - I had a fairly decent day yesterday. Managed to get a walk in and ate within calories.
May 24 - 176.4 - another decent day yesterday. Spent the day with Michaela, we planted some flowers and cleaned up the yard.
May 25 - 179.4 - I don’t believe this can be accurate. I will see tomorrow I guess.
May 26 - 179.8 - ugh this is mostly carbs and sodium I think. I haven’t eaten that much over my calorie goal. I need to go buy some fruits and veggies today.
May 27 - 179.6 - better day yesterday, it will take a few days for the carb weight to drop though.10 -

awwww hun... well.. if its any consolation I had a 3 lb drop then bounced right back up... which is just unfair right?!?! I mean.. not losing is frustrating but i feel like the scale just toyed with my emotions for three days! lol8 -
5'5 F, 36. entered this challenge as I just got back on MFP , I've always found that the support and "forum" to vent, complain or check in makes all the difference.
05/23 156.9 - was surprised as this is actually 1.2 lbs lighter to "start" this challenge than where I was last wk.
05/24 155.4 – WOW. I’m happy that tracking, and my morning walk/run is paying off.
05/25 153.9
05/26 and 05/27- 156.7 Wtf!?!? Ok. Self talk pep talk it’s the weekend, Fridays cocktails are catching up, and I woke up at 3am and had insomnia , broken sleep, super tired… will get back on track.. this is not a tragedy. Ugh but still frustrating!
why must it toy with me?!8 -
@abowersgirl Interesting that you mentioned fasting and @Hilogirl2018 mentioned cellular repair. I watched several videos last week that discussed autophagy. There is a (very expensive) plan available which is a 5 day super low calorie fast followed by 25 days of “normal” eating. Look up “fasting mimicking diet.” Someone has posted a “hack” which doesn’t cost $225 for the 5 day fast. This method of fasting is supposed to cause cell regeneration and “age reversal.” IDK, just sharing what I heard.

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.

5/23 127.0 Ate at a Chinese restaurant. I had General Tso’s chicken and even ate some steamed rice. This is what high carb, junk carbs, do to me.
5/24 126.5 Going to Pahrump for lunch today, Aviators game tonight.
5/25 125.5 Had a lovely steak salad yesterday, half for early lunch and half dinner. Had no snacks at the ball game or at home. Sewing day today. May make Keto goodie to share. No adult beverages last night.

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!
05/27 187 I don't understand.

Pizza night with friends Sat and Scottishfest on Sunday all day. Lots of walking and will make light choices. Not going overboard like I did at Knotts last week. Took me 5 days to get that weight off and I'm dying to be under 185 now that I hit that mark beforehand. Not letting a holiday weekend sabotage my success.
Tuesday after Memorial Day the entire house will start JJs 10-Day Smoothie Cleanse so will fall half in this challenge and half in the next. I hope to see 10 lbs gone between the 2. That's my goal. 170s here I come!

Really nice night with another fabulous Skinnytaste dinner with family. Made Asian Turkey Meatballs with Hoison Sauce using my new air fryer. Gina's recipes just don't fail. Tonight yummy pork loin chops of my own recipe. Gotta stay away from the cookies the daughter made. Would love to see 186s tomorrow.

Oh what a night. Thankful I got through it. Pork Chops were lovely, but had too much wine. Still recorded a loss and I'm going to lighten up on the drinking tonight.

Better than I had hoped for and didn't follow through on the alcohol but chose prosecco at 90 cals/5 oz. So yummy. And Skinnytaste barbacoa was a HUGE hit in the house last night. REALLY happy to see that 185 again.
26-May... 186.4... +0.6
Fun night with friends. Salty foods, but made my homemade pizza with Skinnytaste dough so thrilled to see how slight this difference is. Been a great weekend so far. No time today for workout with early am church then Scottishfest. Drink and good time shall be had!

Loving no change. Wonderful day watching Scottish athletics; caber tossing, keg and stone throws, wandering the vendors, watching the sheepherding dogs, the pipers and drummers.. just incredible! Evening spent with friends who prepared smoked jerked ribs and chicken wings.. the exact thing hubby wants for dinner tonight, but mine. Will get a workout in today to be sure. Gotta get to the store. Enjoy the day! Americans were blessed with this holiday by the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom! God Bless America!

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.
@FarmerCarla Shot Gun Annie! The only thing I battled last night was cravings, how lucky am I ? Good girl you, for saving your husband lol. Nice job!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 390.4
05/24 390.6 (+0.2) I am back. Very stress. Selling my Dad’s building. Very hard going thru his clothes. My sister did not want to sale until he dies. Long story, but my Dad is going to be living a while and thankfully he seems to be adjusting well to the nursing home. Which is private pay. My sister did not want to sell because she was living rent free. I am power of attorney. I told her we could not afford to pay for two residences for my Dad and his money was not for us to pay for her residence when she can work. She finally moved and agreed to sale but our relationship is still strained and it only us two. But at least we are still talking even if not much. My Dad comes first. Now pity party is over and back to taking care of me. I will start back going to WW meetings Wed. Online only was not working. I need the weekly support and check ins. I am going to try checking in here more too on week days especially.
05/25 386.0 (-4.6)
05/26 385.6 (-0.4)
05/27 387.4 (+1.8) No perfect over weekend but I definitely made some good choices. Last night at grocery store, made it out of there with NO sweets. Put back a slice of carrot. Picked up some fruit and fudge pop sicles. Have leftovers from yesterday.

I love below reminders from @TerriRichardson112 :flowerforyou:- 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.

I use the Vora app. Fasting does have some possible health benefits that haven't been too rigorously studied yet (e.g., cellular repair), but my main reason is that I'm on 1200 calories, and fasting helps me keep my hunger and caloric intake in check. Ironically, as you've likely noted, when you regularly fast, you're less hungry at the times you would have eaten.
Ultimately, it's still your overall calories that matter more than the fasting time. I've done 32-hour fasts, 19-hour, etc., and they haven't worked any better for weight loss than counting calories. Find your comfort zone!
Thanks for sharing this! My dr wants me to try this.2 -
