Day/Weight/Comment

05/23: 165 A good drop! Not sure if it will stick around right away or not. 6 mile walk yesterday. No time to exercise today.

05/24: 166 I'm not surprised by this. I had more carbs yesterday and ate dinner later than normal. I'm going to walk my 6 miles this morning. Heading out of town to my sister's this weekend so no weigh ins. I am planning on staying mindful of what I eat/drink.

05/25: out of town
05/26: out of town
05/27: 167.8

05/28: 167.0 So I was mindful of what I was doing this weekend but it didn't stop me from giving myself a pass to snack and drink more alcohol than was necessary. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and am back to it today.

05/29: 163.8 wow! A very significant drop! Keep on keeping on...

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.
Ultimate Goal - 145-150

Round 70 - SW - 179.6 EW- 177.4 - average weight over 10 days - 178.1
Round 71 - SW - 175.4 EW - 178.2 Average weight over 10 days - 178.3
Round 72 - SW - 182.4 EW -180.2 Average weight over 10 days - 179.8
Round 73 - SW - 181.4 EW - 183.2 Average weight over 10 days - 181.3
Round 74 - SW - 181.4 EW - 180.4 - Average weight over 10 days - 181.4
Round 75 - SW - 179.4 EW - 178.2 - Average weight over 10 days - 178.4
Round 76 - SW - 175.2 EW - 176.2 - Average weight over 10 days - 176.5
Round 77 - SW - 176.2 EW - 178.8 -Average weight over 10 days - 177

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.

May 28 - 177.8 - another good day yesterday. I need a lot more of these days.

May 29 - 177.6 - very busy day yesterday. Got a lot accomplished.

Ending weight round 74 - 145.7

Ending weight round 75 - 145.9

Ending weight round 76 - 143.7
Ending weight round 77 - 142.4

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??

5/28 - 142.2. Some of the bloat gone at least, would like to see a loss overall in this 10 day stretch so hopefully the rest drops soon. Wins yesterday: 4 mile run, 2.5 miles walked. Stayed within a deficit. Hydrated, but of course could do more to hydrate in this heat.

5/29 - 141.8. Wins yesterday: tough HIIT workout outdoors, 3 miles walked. Stayed within a deficit and hydrated fairly well. Had a laser treatment done yesterday and am not to get flushed or overheated today to combat swelling. That means I won't be very active. I need my calorie intake to be on point today.

05/23 - 226lbs (-2lbs) Woo! That's a great start! I have an issue with overeating and binge eating and I'm really doing some internal work to combat that. Yesterday, I managed to listen to my body and didn't overeat. Plus, I've gone for a walk every morning this week. It just starts my day off right.
05/24 - 224.4lbs (-1.6) Yay! I've been working really hard on my mental state when it comes to my health. It's nice to see that paying off!
05/25 - 224lbs (-0.4) I didn't overeat but I was a little carb heavy in the evening. I'll take it!
05/26 - 223.8lbs (-0.2) I will totally take that! I went to the movies and let myself have nachos and candy. I was active though!
05/27 - Forgot to weigh in today!
05/28 - 225.4lbs (+1.6) Totally not surprised at this number. I didn't overeat this weekend, but I didn't eat all that healthy. It was a heavy carbs weekend. But that's okay! I enjoyed it and don't regret it. It was a really fun weekend.
05/29 - 224.8lbs (-0.6) Alright! Back down in the right direction! I was still a little carb heavy yesterday because I was due for a grocery run & was just eating what was available, but I didn't overeat and I went grocery shopping after work.

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.

05/28 - 159.4
I had a lovely day yesterday planting, digging, planting... I'm excited to see my new garden taking shape. I'm planning some more today, though I also have to plant by butt in a chair and write for a while. Deadline tomorrow. But it's so nice out!

05/29 - 159.6
Still raining. These must be April showers running late. But I did get to spend a couple of hours planting and doing other things in my garden. Yay!

First Timer and joining late, but I have all my stats! I've been on MFP for about 18 months but only got really committed to healthy choices about 6-8 months ago. I love the idea of community accountability, and with some life changes having happened/happening now, the time is ripe!

I'm Female, 38yrs, 5'2" on my way down from 225.5 in August 2018. My current goal is 149 (out of the obesity zone) but I remember being in the 130's...Is it possible to have my college body back?

I wish I had seen these accountability challenges earlier in my journey!

Date/Weight/Comment
05/23:..162.4# Same as yesterday but down 1.4# from last week. Did gardening, weed pulling mostly outside for over an hour. Ate steak and potato with dinner so lucky not up. Got an hour weed pulling in this am already. Found small purple Irises that volunteered. Such a great reward.

05/24: 161.8 Down… yeah! Ate very light but healthy.

05/25: 161.8 Same as yesterday. Did at least 3 hours of gardening but ate spaghetti and meatballs in evening. I do better with carbs earlier in the day. My flower beds are looking better. Such a joy to see for me. Planted marigolds around mailbox for the mail man. LOL Going to lunch today. I’ll have salad and protein. Have a fun day everyone.

05/26: 161.4 Down a pound so far this round. Yeah! Gardened for.5 hour yesterday and ate 2 big salad with protein and small ice cream and wine. Turned down a fab dessert at lunch yesterday (pat on back). I had hoped to lose a pound this round so now I’ll aim for another half-pound for this round.

05/27: Can’t remember but was up some. Had one beer and some baby back ribs. Didn’t overeat but…

05/28: 164!!! Good grief; up 2.6# in 2 days. Ok, had one beer and a little(wing and drumstick) fried chicken. Didn’t eat a whole lot. Gotta get to 161.4 to hit goal for this round. That means losing 2.6 over the next few days. Hopefully some of this is water weight.

05/29: 163… it’s a yoyo world.

Round 7! My goals will be to walk at least 10,000 steps a day, drink at least 60 oz of water a day, and exercise when I have it scheduled on my calendar. I'm also going to start each round by updating my measurements. I've been wanting to do that for some time, but never seem to get around to it.

This is a busy time of year for me! We have our spring concert on the 23rd, the Memorial Day Parade on the 27th, a trip to Six Flags with the seniors on the 29th, and graduation on June 1st. I'll be happy with meeting my goals for this round. I will continue to weigh everyday, but it won't be my main focus.

05/23 178.8 lb 19,482 steps, 50 oz of water, and I finally updated my measurements. I kept to two slices of pizza, mostly because the high schoolers ate the rest. Our spring concert is tonight! I might exercise this afternoon, but only if I get everything set-up for tonight by the end of the school day. I'll definitely be keeping my tradition of going out for beers afterwards. I think I'll be taking a half day tomorrow so I can get a jump start on cleaning my house and continuing to clean my yard for this weekend.
05/24 178.0 lb 27,251 steps, 54 oz of water, and several beers. The concert was great! The students always come together and create something magical. I did not get to exercise yesterday, but after conducting the concert, my Fitbit congratulated me on my "31 minute run". I'm planning on going to the gym and walking two miles with the dog this afternoon.

I'm so excited!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 – 242.9 lbs. – (Happy with this since TOM is here this morning and I took a rest day yesterday). Packed my lunch and I plan to complete C25k Week 5 Day 2. Then 50 Jumping Jacks, 20 Push Ups, 45 Squats, 45 Crunches.

05/24 – 244.0 lbs. – (That doesn’t surprise me, even though I wish it wasn’t so.) I haven’t been logging my meals like I should. I’ll correct that and curve the sugar like I know I should. I plan to do a walk in the late afternoon. Then, 50 High Knees, 40 sec Plank, 40 Lunges, 25 PushUps. I’m turning it around.

05/25 – DNW – lots of pain in my legs; decided not to run. The walk from yesterday ended up being an 8 minute run.

05/26 – 244.0 lbs. – rest day

05/27 – 244.6 lbs. – rest day legs are hurting

05/28 – 243.3 lbs. – (Not sure how. I didn’t work out since the 24th.) The plan today is C25K Week 5 Day 3 after it cools down. It’s supposed to reach 100 degrees in GA. Then, 50 Jumping Jacks, 25 Push Ups, 40 Squats, 40 Crunches.

05/29 242.5 lbs. – (new low after the holiday!! Whoop woo!). Yesterday C25K program session was a 20 minute jog straight through. Now, it wasn’t fast, but it was straight through. Found a great podcast on Spotify to listen to.

Feeling so ACCOMPLISHED!! I remember when I struggled with jogging for 3 minutes. Man, that was a few weeks ago. Working on a craft project with my niece and nephew this afternoon. I don’t have a workout planned. If I get home at a good hour I’ll take an 8 or 10 minute jog. I did pack my breakfast and lunch for today though.

05/29 - 144.2 at 5:00 a.m. EGADS!!! I do not know where this is coming from. Well...I have a pinched nerve in my back that is causing horrible pain down both legs and numbing both feet. I cannot walk like I used to. My husband and I walked five miles a day...five days a week...and I can't do that now. I do still work out w/my trainer three times a week but the exercises are not strength exercises like before. She is being very careful with me. It seems everything I'm eating is staying with me.

I am scheduled for back surgery June 18th. Doc said the surgery should take care of 80-90% of the pain. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

5/27 - 175 - Probably water weight but mentally brings in hope!
5/28 - 175 – Added a FitBit to the mix. Hoping for more motivation. At least it did not go up.
5/29 – 175 - Hmm was hoping for a little movement on the scale. Noticed my water intake is lacking so will add more today and see if that assists me a bit. I know it is a process, keep breathing right?!

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 underwater 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, then the next one for sure.

5/28 172.0 TOM I think is the cause of this. I was under on calories, didn't go crazy on sodium, drank at least 64 oz of water and sweated like a pig for two hours doing yard work last night after shopping all day. I had 11,221 steps.... I didn't gain a pound overnight.

5/29 172.0 I can only assume this is Mother Nature reminding me that I'm not in charge. Oh well. I had a fast 3-mile walk last night. It should have been a gym night but the weather was so interesting I wanted to be outside. When I got home I even got the front yard mowed before the rain started. We had terrible tornados last night here in the Kansas City area. The wind was already fierce when I was walking, that's why I wanted to go - it's always kinda cool before they are scary. Terrible after but there is a certain feeling in the air in the hours leading up to it.

Round 77 -8.4 pounds 335.8- 327.4

OSW 382
RSW 327.4

05/23 326.4 A nice start to the round.

05/24 328.0 I’m not surprised by the bounce up, it happens whenever I have a hotdog. In addition I did some weight lifting yesterday and a couple of muscles are a little stiff/sore today. Last but not least I went a bit overboard with some cookies a couple of days ago and it usually takes a day or two for things like that to show in my weight. It’s okay though as I’m fully on track again and know that I’ll see a loss again soon.

05/25 328 I’m not sure why I didn’t have a drop. I’m guessing that I’m still retaining water weight. Hopefully I’ll see a drop soon.

05/26 329.6 I’m trying to tell myself that it’s pre tom bloat weight. I’ve been on track and low sodium, I log and weigh everything, so at this point that’s the only thing that makes sense. Tom should arrive tomorrow and hopefully I’ll see some drops.

05/27 328.8 That’s a good sign and hopefully once tom starts I’ll see more bloat weight go.

05/28 329 It has to be tom weight. I can say this, but it’s harder for me to believe it. I know that I have bounced around like this before and it too passed. I guess I’ll see what tomorrow brings.

05/29 327.2 That’s better. I’m still waiting for tom to start, but I’m starting to drop some of the bloat from it. Hopefully I’ll see another drop tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23: 193.0 (I had a slight increase in weight and I'm sure it's because of soreness and TOM has just barely ended. I'm staying the course and hope the weight falls off as my body adjusts back to a more normal cycle. I made some chicken breast kabobs and rice for dinner last night and did a 55 minute TurboFire workout.)

05/24: 192.0 (My body loves this number! My weekly loss this week is 0.8 pounds. It's still the lowest weight I've been since on this weight loss thing. I hope to make my goal next Friday! I did my 5K training last night. I do 30 minutes and 3 of those minutes I ran consecutively! I was proud of that. It was hard no doubt about that! I made meatball subs for dinner last night and had a small one.)

05/25: 191.8 (Woohoo a new low! I did not expect this at all and I’m happy to see it. Last night I went out to dinner with hubby and some family. I had a couple pieces of bread and some short ribs. I did not do a workout yesterday.)

05/26: 191.0 (Now thats a new low! I officially have 50 pounds to go until my goal weight. I’m so close to my mini goal weight for Happy Scale. Once I hit 190 my reward is a gym membership. I’m so excited! Last night I did no workout and I was at my nephews 4th birthday party and ate a lot.)

05/27: 192.0 (This is an amazing Monday weigh in! I know this will be an amazing week and I hope I can get into a new decade by Friday! I ate pizza last night for a friends bday party and I did my 5K training yesterday during a little rain and 50 degree weather. I ran 3 minutes in a row and could’ve done more but followed my plan.)

05/28: 192.0 (Staying right here, but that's okay! I had a good day yesterday just relaxing after a busy weekend. I did a bunch of laundry and grocery shopping as well. We had cheese quesadillas with chips and queso for dinner last night and I did a 55 minute TurboFire workout.)

05/29: 191.4 (I did my 5K training yesterday and added 3 more minutes of running to include 6 now. OMG was that difficult! There are tons of hills by my house and when I was going downhill, I felt like my form was horrible and I was stomping my feet. The next time I run, I'm going to focus on my form to not injure myself. I made eggs and potatoes last night with fruit for dinner. So close to goal!!)

@preciousme150 Girl, WOW!! How are you dropping weight so fast? What are you doing? How far are you walking?

quiltingjaine · May 2019

@shay_L_D I’m don’t have my college body back but I am under my college weight! It’s been a bumpy ride over the last 50 years with 2 pregnancies, multiple weight increases (as high as 197, to the best of my knowledge) and losses. I wish I had known then what I know now, I wouldn’t have all this droopy skin!

I am so excited I joined last round. I had done these in the past. This time around I am getting some medical assistance which is why I am dropping so quick, that and staying in 1200-1400 calories! I am just so excited to actually make progress, I haven't been this weight in years!!

Day 7 of Round 78

First timer on message board and challenge.

Age: 55
Height: 5' 4"
Recovering from abdominal hysterectomy and benign tumor removal on 4/02/2019. It was recommended I see a nutritionist since my activity is low to non-existent with 12 week recovery. It was fortunate I visited the community page on MFP and found this challenge. The challenge helps with accountability.

OSW - 201.1 (Feb. 2019)
RSW - 183.4
RGW - 181.0
UGW - 135-140

Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 - 183.4 - first day of logging food and weighing portions.

05/24 - 181.4 - yesterday I made a conscience effort to drink all my water, smarter food choices, weigh all food portions and no eating after 7pm. I decided my 12 week recovery doesn't entitle me to eat whatever and whenever.

05/25 -181.1 - I'm happy with the loss since I was not as diligent with water in take and had dinner at 8:30 pm. One of my college sons home and I waited to have dinner with him. I am hoping to go for a 3 mile walk today.

05/26 - 181.6 - I'm finding it challenging to eat before 7:00 pm with all my family home. We had another late night dinner and staying up way too late. I decided to enjoy my family over the holiday weekend and focus on fine tuning my eating and time frame on Tuesday. I won't go crazy with my food choices, however, I will allow myself to enjoy and (try) not to feel too guilty over the holiday weekend.

05/27 - 181.2 - a little more water yesterday. I believe I will have better focus for the remainder of the challenge. I enjoyed the holiday weekend with my kids being home.

05/28 - 181 - a little more focus on food choices and water in take. My boys are back at school, so no more excuses on food choices or eating later than 7pm.

05/29 - 182 - yesterday was my first day back to work after 8 weeks off. I failed to drink water through out the day and worked through lunch. I came home exhausted. I need to plan my day (food) better to be more successful while working. I see nutritionist this afternoon. I'll have her help me tackle remembering to eat and drink at work. I'm sure the 4 long weekend helped the with the gain as well.
