Result:

Day - Weight - Comment
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!
05/27 - 137 (+.6) - there’s the jump. It’s definitely water retention. DOMS, TOM coming.
05/28 - 137.1 (+.1) - eh will probably be like this for the next week or so with TOM. Eating right, water intake is good, and exercising.

@jspecies11 Don’t make changes yet. For over a month now, I go through stalls - twice for ten days and a few shorter. The weight loss eventually shows up each time. It is frustrating but it is my latest pattern. You could be going through the same. Give it a little time.

Had to take a break for a bit

5/28 - 254 - Not much activity going on due to restrictions from my doctor. She is concerned something may be wrong with my heart so I have activity limits with additional stipulations, pulse needs to stay under 122. I am not supposed to exercise for as long as I was either. She has also restricted my water, but not all liquids, intake. The blood work done was all normal.

Round # 12 for me
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) Not 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.
05/28 388.4 (+1.0)
05/29 – Going to WW meeting. Will be resetting my MFP ticker to my home scale weight today.

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.

Sun 26/05: 164.9: Goals ✅ Both my knee and elbow are definitely on the mend. I regard it as a win if I can maintain at the minute because of my enforced inactivity.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

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..

GW 133
UGW 125

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...

5/27 136.8 11/31 another x, i am afraid. So my brothers birthday dinner carried on until tonight and I couldn't help myself. I know I promised only 3 days of cheating but I am going to have to add a fourth. That s life

5/28137.6 12/31 accomplished a slight gain from yesterday that is ok though, i am determined to re drop back to the weight i was at the starting of these 10 days.

abowersgirl · May 2019

Thanks @quiltingjaine and @Hilogirl2018 I am becoming more adapted to the fasting and although I noticed the weight changes aren't much different from calorie counting alone...it is helping with more control over my eating and shrinking my appetite...I don't find myself over indulging or over eating. Yes, i have had a couple days where I have treated myself but I haven't binged like I used too and I have been more satisfied with the treat rather than turning it into a whole night of an eating frenzy. Which is all I really am asking for 😃😃

My 4th round! This one will be a bit tricky with travel and family events, but I’ll try to make good choices and still have fun.
R75 (1) – SW: 202.8 – EW: 198.8 (-4.0)
R76 (2) – SW 198.8 – EW: 199.4 (+0.6)
R77 (3) – SW 199.4 – EW: 196.6 (-2.8)
R78 (4) – SW 196.6 – EW: ???

Round 78 Goals:
1) Try to get some exercise and/or hit my step goal each day.
2) Get through my daily To Do list – no procrastination!
3) Keep up with logging and make thoughtful food choices, no matter where I am.

Day/Weight/Comment

05/23 – 197.2 – Up a bit to start. Thunderstorms on and off all day, so no walk. But I got lots of errands done and dropped the car off for service. Good food choices and plenty of water, but I’m feeling sluggish today. Guess I need to work on my sleep too.

05/24 – 195.8 – And down a bit more. With the car in the shop, I got tons of stuff done in the house and easily met my step goal. Went out for ices with the grandkids after dinner and still stayed under my calorie limit. Overall, a good day.

05/25 – 195.0 – Nice drop going into the weekend, but I expect I’ll see a bounce back up on Tuesday after the long weekend. Worked all day in the garden and finally finished the deck boxes. Such a perfect day for it – mostly sunny with low humidity and a cool breeze – that I think I overdid it a bit. I’ll be stiff tomorrow, but I’m perfectly relaxed tonight after a hot shower and a glass of wine. (Oh, and all goals met today!)

05/26 – 195.0 – Holding steady. On the road for a family BBQ today.

05/27 – No scale – Way over on food and under on steps, but I’ve had two fantastic days with four generations of family, including all my kids and grandkids. Best workout was walking and rocking my new granddaughter.

05/28 – 196.4 – Not unexpected, but still not fun to see, especially as I’ve only got one more weigh-in before my next trip. Rainy, humid day contributed to a slow start, but I eventually got a good bit done indoors.

This is my fifth round. My goal for this round is to meal prep most of the week and lose 4 lbs until my son’s brithday on June 1st.

Female, 37, 5‘11‘
OSW 190lbs
SW Rd 78 181lbs
GW 172lbs
UGW - we‘ll see...

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.

05/28 177.9 lbs Ugh. Too slow for my liking!

05/29 178.1 lbs Getting a little frustrated. I was almost 200 below my calorie goal yesterday and did perfect the last three days. Not sure I will make my goal for this round like this. 😕
(TMI might follow:)
Going back through my diary of the last rounds I think this might just be hormonal. I had the same small losses and the little gains even though I was doing ok exactly 4 weeks ago, then a nice loss finally 3 days after my ovulation. So I’m trying to not get discouraged and wait for the end of the week.

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 hidown 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.

05/28 70.0kg and happy with it. Waiting for my usual blip up after a big loss but I won't complain if it doesn't happen! No exercise this week except a bit of yoga... Body needs a break and some stretching.

05/29 70kg again. Still happy with this. Had a huge clothes sort and chuck session yesterday for the whole family... Not quite Konmari but nearly. Inspired me to move onto the rest of the house.

Good start to the round weight-wise, but then I fell off the waggon... Stressful day at work, skipped the gym, didn't make my steps, stopped logging, binged.
But hey, I know it happened, I acknowledge it, my stress-eating days are not quite over yet. So once again, dust off and at it again.

To a better day today. TOM is still imminent so I'm putting a gain of 1kg in 2 days down to hormones (and the wine from last night).
Plan for today: finish the last Ikea piece, run, cycle to the shops, tidy up and relax!

Wow, my average weight for last week was below the week before, that was a surprise.
Today was a good start, with a run. But then hunger and stress did their thing to derail me again.

Tue 5/28 72.1kg
Alright, so i've decided to give logging calories a break. I'm not in it 100%, it stresses me, then I'm disappointed and then I binge or find excuses. I am a little too comfortable with my weight,even if not happy. So need to take a break and find a new resolve to start again. For now, I want to focus on getting back into a running and boxing routine for fun and fitness, not for the calories.
This group is awesome and the daily weigh in is very useful for me and I will continue with that. For the month of June I will focus on the exercise. My DH will finally join me in Amsterdam this weekend and after 7 months will live together in the same city again. We will finally start this new adventure together with a new city and country to explore and I don't want to spend the first month of that logging calories, feeling guilty for eating more than my tracker says, logging only half days and then feeling guilty.

I've been in this group on and off for a year and it has been the most exciting and exhausting year. I haven't lost much weight, and my fitness isn't where I want it to be. But so much else has happened and as a bonus I managed to love myself a bit more and learned so much about myself.

Wow, it feels good to have made that decision. I will come back, I still want to lose 5-7kg, but I need to have the right mindset for it. This is not a permission to lose focus, but to enjoy and come back when I'm ready.
Thank you all, keep doing what you do.

Thanks @quiltingjaine and @Hilogirl2018 I am becoming more adapted to the fasting and although I noticed the weight changes aren't much different from calorie counting alone...it is helping with more control over my eating and shrinking my appetite...I don't find myself over indulging or over eating. Yes, i have had a couple days where I have treated myself but I haven't binged like I used too and I have been more satisfied with the treat rather than turning it into a whole night of an eating frenzy. Which is all I really am asking for 😃😃

@abowersgirl I'm so glad you're having a good experience with fasting! Similar to mine, really- I'm obviously still struggling to lose like most here, but my appetite is better controlled. On only 1200 calories, it's nice to never be ravenous. Also, I find myself thinking, hmmm, is this food/treat 'worthy' of my limited eating window? No more mindless snacking!

***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.
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.
05/28 143 37 net carbs yesterday. So low compared to the number I was having before keto, but I'm guessing it's enough of an increase this round to carry some extra water. It'll all sort out. I'm never over calories as best I can tell from weighing food carefully, so I know it's not that.

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 today.

26/05 - 138.5lbs (+0.5lbs) and 7,539 steps
Expected the small gain after the previous night of 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 until the hangover munchies kick in and you make horrendous food choices. Most of that gain will go over the next couple of days. It's bank holiday Monday and I'm not at work, but I'm still going to the gym later on.

28/05 - 140.5lbs (-3.25lbs) and 10,938 steps
Delighted to see the bulk of that gain from yesterday has gone. I had a great sleep last night and am feeling much, much better today. My mental health took a hit yesterday, I was so down in the dumps and it took every fibre of my being not to go on a sugar rampage. I didn't make the gym but I did keep pushing to get out and get my steps. I'm out for lunch today with work colleagues and have pre ordered the best choice on the menu (a chicken salad). It means though, that I won't have a gym session but I will still get my walk to and from work done.

29/05 - 141.5lbs (+0.5lbs) and 11,888 steps
Just one of those things, not going to get upset over half a pound. After all, it's most likely coz i'm a bit bunged up. Looking forward to getting back to the gym today and REALLY looking forward to lunch - yesterday's work lunch was awful, not worth the time, effort, money or calories. At least today, i have made my own lunch from scratch and i know its worth it! Happy hump day!

Round 10 for me, and have been slacking some. I feel like I am losing my motivation and hubby starting to eat out again. This makes it very hard to lose weight, at least for me. I don’t always have will power to stay away from the foods I don’t need. So this round going to really focus on getting my head back into it.

Round 68 SW: 225.8 – EW: 219.8 (↓6lbs)
Round 69 SW: 219.2 -EW: 215.8 (↓4lbs)
Round 70 SW: 215.8 – EW: 210.8 (↓5lbs)

Round 76 SW: 197.6 – EW: 194.6 (↓3lbs)
Round 77 SW: 196.6 – EW: 193.6 (↓1lb)
Pounds loss are from the weight of the previous round, because starting weight varies.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 – 195.8 not off to a good start again (a gain). I ate too much last night, and can’t let it bother me and get my head back in the right place. I am losing motivation early in my weight loss (its only 3 months since I started over again and been steady)
05/24 – 193.4 this was a surprise, was not expecting
05/25 – 195.6 I am sabotaging myself and I don’t know how to stop. I have to get my head back in the game. Last night I was binge eating ( I finished the fish and at more watermelon and didn’t log it.
05/26 – I did not weigh, skipped out this weekend, have been binge eating primarily healthy just over abundance of choices. I have been struggling and just gave in to the binging.
05/27 – 196.0 I expected higher with all my binge eating this weekend.

Ended the last round up after a carb heavy weekend. Since then not been well so have just eaten what I felt like and not been anywhere near a scale. I'm never ill - rarely even get a cold - and this bug knocked me for six but just about feeling back to normal and ready to get back into it and back to the gym and some exercise. Food shop today and planning out the rest of my week today to start back to it tomorrow.

R78 Start Weight - 141.4lb

05/28 - Back to meal planning and a shop today - will face the scale tomorrow. Feel very bloated and lethargic today probably due to lack of good food and plenty of water. Was eating way too carb heavy whilst I didn't feel well - why is it you crave carbs when feeling under the weather ?
But on the plus side aiming to get to the gym tonight for an easy-ish session, water water and more water for me today. My aim for whats left of this round is to get back into tracking every day and get fully back to fighting fit mode. The scale tomorrow won't be pretty but whatever it is I'm sure it will only be a temporary gain and most of the weight gain will be back off within a week - I've got this

05/29 - 144.3lb (+2.9lb) and that is what a few too many days of eating "food to make me feel better" does but doesn't in fact make you feel any better...... Obviously there is no way I have eaten that many extra calories but guessing it will be a week or so to get back to where I was which is a bit frustrating but all part of "the journey".
Easy gym session last night had plenty of water yesterday and back to decent "normal" food. Good food day planned today too (although dinner may not go to plan as we were told late last night that the plasterers are coming today so hoping kitchen will be in a fit state to use tonight

....)
Feel better in myself just to be back on here again

5/28 - 254 - Not much activity going on due to restrictions from my doctor. She is concerned something may be wrong with my heart so I have activity limits with additional stipulations, pulse needs to stay under 122. I am not supposed to exercise for as long as I was either. She has also restricted my water, but not all liquids, intake. The blood work done was all normal.
5/29 - 254.2 - Not worried about the minute creep up as my calves and back are sore from yesterday workouts. Yesterday, I did some lifting using Pump Challenge (squats, arms and chest, back and glutes, lunges, and shoulders), did two rounds of walking using Zombies, Run! first round was thirty five minutes and second forty-four minutes.

Hold on in there. You've only got 10lbs left to go and the last few pounds are the hardest.

Day/Weight/Comment

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.
05/27 – 145 – There it is! I hope it doesn’t keep bouncing up tomorrow. I’m going to be really mindful the rest of the week.
05/28 – 145 – This is where this challenge really keeps me on track. It would be so easy to continue eating the leftovers from our picnic, but knowing I’ll be weighing in and reporting will keep me from the cupcakes, mayo-laden salads, and chips in my kitchen.
05/29 – 144 – I didn’t drink enough water yesterday and I can tell I’m still retaining some this morning, so I’m glad I went down a little. I’ll be drinking all the water today.
