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.
05/27 133.8 I said I was skipping my strength training workout last night, but, at 1 a.m., I just had to do it. This morning, 11 a.m., I completed my cardio and stretching workout. So, I’m still on track with my strength training program. I’m afraid if I give myself a break, I won’t stop with just one. That’s how I gained back the 40 pounds I had to lose again! I want to think I’ve learned my lesson. Time will tell. No walk for Thor this morning, since I was up until 4 a.m. and didn’t get out of bed this morning before it got too hot to take him for a long walk. I will do better tomorrow morning.
05/28 135 Thor and I got a walk and some jogging in yesterday, but it was a busy day/evening. It was after midnight before I finished my Bible study, so I put off posting the study and my weight.
05/29 133.8 I started the day with my strength training, delivered meals on wheels, then took my car in to repair a leaky tire. It seems I ran over a screw. The tire shop was close to a Home Depot, so I walked over and bought a rug so my shoes don’t slip on some of the exercises I’m doing. Today was the first day of my third week doing the Chalean Extreme strength training program. It’s not easy, but I already feeling stronger. Chalene Johnson teaches how to exercise (including squats and lunges) without hurting my knees. I appreciate that. About 10 years ago, I had to quit a boxercise class because I wasn’t taught that lesson, and my knees were killing me.
05/30 134.4 I didn’t weigh this morning, because the electricity went out during the morning storm, and there wasn’t enough light to read the scale. I played cards with friends, had lunch, ran errands, took a nap, then decided to step on the scale. Now, it’s after midnight, so I need to get to bed so I can take Thor for an early walk before it gets too hot.
05/31 134 I had a short night—rose early to take Thor for our walk/jog. I’m gradually increasing our jogging time. Still no knee or toe pain! I completed my strength training session, too. I hadn't checked my ketone level since I reached my goad and started allowing myself a few more carbs, but I decided to check, and I was still in the burn range at 0.6 mmol/L. Listening to the radio this morning, I heard a reference to a pit bull attack a few years ago on a 65 yr. old, “elderly” woman. I’m 67, but I’m not elderly! I have an active friend who's 85, still jogs, and she's not elderly, either! Some of us "mature" folks are more fit and can do more than a lot of teenagers. It's fun to surprise them.
06/01
Here here, I agree, I'm 61 and nowhere near elderly; 31 with 40 years experience!! I walk 8 plus miles most days - weather and other commitments allowing, do yoga and am very active. I think "elderly" is s state of mind !!4 -

05/27: 207.0? Surprised but body is sore so I'm sure I have a lot of inflammation right now.
05/28: 207.6 Above still applies but time to reevaluate what I'm doing. I have stayed under my sugars but last two days indulged a bit. Cutting that crap out.
05/29: 207.6 Okay no gain. Fingers crossed for tomorrow loss.
05/30: 207.0 Ok that's a better direction.
05/31: 207.2 I don't understand, yes I realize this is a small gain. However, these issues is what derailed me in the past. This time I am also taking Phentermine, which all of a sudden doesn't seem to be working. No appetite suppression, no jitters nothing... Wonder what the deal is.. Every time I've given up 207 has been the sweet spot it's like I cannot get down and stay down from here.... UGH

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.
05/30 – DNW – My niece graduated from elementary. I’m the Aunt of a 6th grader.
05/31 – 244.0 lbs. – (ugh!) Well, I can’t said I don’t know where it came from. It’s sugar!! Overload on strawberries and Rice Krispy treats. Nowhere near enough water either. The plan today is to complete C25K Week 6 Day 1. Then, 25 Burpees, 45 Squats, 45 Crunches and 40 Plank Jacks. Let’s see if we can finish closer to my starting weight for the round.
06/01 - 244.8 lbs. - well, I didn’t do C25K program yesterday. And I celebrated a lot since I got a new job offer!! So I’m ok with this. I’ll do better next time. I’m going for that run now.

5/26 -
5/27 - 175 - Probably water weight but mentally brings in hope!
5/28 - 175 – Added a fitbit to the regime. 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?!
5/30 – 175 – Bought a new scale…might help?! Yesterday was an extremely stressful day. I normally eat to help deal with all the feelings but really need to become the best version of myself that I can be. This means I can’t just stuff myself. Truly difficult not to give in. Whole reason I joined all of you is my Mother had a major stroke in Feb. I stopped my life and moved to her to take care of her, pack her house, sell it and move her home with me for a bit until I can find an Assisted Living facility. When I look at my Mom’s weight and overall health, I see myself and that scares me. I really want to change my course. I will not be able to return to my family for a few more months and can’t afford to eat the house down so to speak. Universe I ask for Strength! (AND an apple pie that has no calories!! LOL)
5/31- 174 – In the right direction…Happy Friday Everyone!
6/1 – 172.8 – New scale came yesterday, so the weight fluctuation I am not going to take too much credit. What I shall take credit for is I have successfully logged my food for 6 days. Thanks everyone!

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.
5/30 171.7 Still hoping for a drop before the end of the round. I did three miles yesterday. I did go a little crazy last night - Sprouts had my favorite dark chocolate orange jellies on sale and I bought some. Just 32 little calories each. I have been doing well with just having a few a night until last night. I probably had 10. OOPS. I guess I should be happier I didn't go up today It's supposed to be nice tonight. I think I'll try to get in 4 miles.
5/31 170.9 I almost wish today was the last day of the round so I could end at goal. I did walk 4 miles yesterday. I left work a little early and walked before the rain was supposed to start - but it only sprinkled. I could have stayed at work - oh well. Happy Friday ya'll.
6/1 172.1 Well dang it. Maybe next round. I’m so sick of 17X.12 -

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.
05/30 – 144.5 – I drank all the water, I watched my calories, and then I drank a beer with a surprise visitor last night. I’m hoping to drop back to 143 in the next couple days.
05/31 – 143 – Yay! I have lunch with a client today, so I’ll have to be careful with my food choices to try to maintain this for tomorrow.
06/01 -143.5 - I was not as careful as I should have been, but I watched what I ate for supper to limit the damage. See you next round!9 -

05/29- 216.2 WOAH! Feeling bloated.
05/30- 215 that’s better. Salt, sore muscles, not enough water could have led to the gain over those last few days.

Ok. So up .6 this first round for me. I know where I need to tighten up for the next round...evening snacking. Also, need to drink more water. Positives: exercised regularly.9 -

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.
05/30 327.2 Ugh.....still waiting on tom.
05/31 327.2 Still no tom and my weight is holding here it seems. I’m at or below calories, weighing and logging everything so I just have to wait this out.
06/01 327.8 Still no tom and I had my tubes tied years ago so I don’t know. No idea what is going on with my weight, but I’m going to try to stay motivated. I know that the weight will drop once whatever is going on straightens out.

Day/Weight/Comment
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!
05/30 - 159
Nothing much to report. Have a lovely!
05/31 - 159.8
Oh, for heaven's sake. I stuck to it yesterday, so pfffttttt. Oh, well. I know from past adventures that one of these days I'll see a nice drop. It's all good. Another gorgeous day here, and I plan to work a bit more on my garden, go for a walk in a park I've never been to, read, write (oh, yeah, that pesky work thing), and figure out what to take to a potluck on Sunday, paint second coat on garden bench. Should keep me out of some trouble. Have a lovely weekend!
06/01 - 159.4
Yesterday was a lovely day - I got lots of things done, including a long walk on the greenway along the St. Joseph River in the evening. We were (are?) planning to go the city's Arab Fest this noon/afternoon, but thundershowers predicted.
We're playing it by ear, and if we go, I'm planning to eat whatever I want! Have a great weekend, all!

@FarmerCarla and @musicsax I agree. We live in an over 55 active adult community and there are some amazing not elderly folks here. One fellow is in his mid-80s, fighting cancer and still playing pickle ball. There are others doing similar things. Age is a number, elderly is a state of mind more than anything else, IMHO3

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.
5/22 125.5
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.
5/26 125.0
5/27 124.5 Yesterday we had champagne brunch. I ate bacon, sausage, scrambled egg, one small spring roll, one fried dumpling, some sautéed squash, 2 glasses of champagne. Later ate 1 Keto snickerdoodle, 6 sunflower seeds and a handful of pork rinds. Memorial Day picnic today

Back again, still working on my last 10 lbs (they are very stubborn)! Last round was not my best and very discouraging. I was able to maintain through multiple events and parties, so I'm taking that as a win. This round I will be leaving for a long weekend with the family for a vacation through Memorial Day. We have lots of activities planned that will require walking and getting outside. It's rare to get the older kids (adults now) and the younger kids all together on the same trip, so I am excited.

05/23 - 147.5 still here. 3rd day in a row and up just over a pound from last week. Way under calories yesterday and drank tons of water. On our way out the door for a 5 day much needed vaca!

05/28 - 154.3 I really debated whether I was going to post this or not, but it is what it is, plus I know most of it has to be water and sodium weight. I had an amazing time in Colorado with all of my kids and my husband, but I know my water intake was horrible the entire trip. I made pretty good food choices most of the time, but carbs were higher than normal just because they are sometimes easier to eat on the go. A 7 hour car ride yesterday to come home didn't help much and I returned with a nice little sunburn from the zoo the day before. Back at work today and drinking my water. Don't think I will make my goal this round, but taking a break from counting calories and weighing myself everyday is what I needed. I was starting to get really frustrated with the whole process and needed a restart. I was very temped just to take this round off and continue my little frenzy, but I chose to come back and post. I need the accountability and I am ready to see what I can accomplish in the next couple of weeks. So the break is over and I am back on the wagon.
05/29 - 151.9 big drop from yesterday. It's crazy how elevation changes affect me so much. The same thing happened when we flew a couple months back. Did well yesterday and on track today. If I can just end the month and this round back at 147.xx then I can take it as a win. We will see I guess!
05/30 - 149.3 got some kind of stomach bug yesterday in the afternoon so hardly ate at all. Still not 100%, but way better than last night. Not a whole lot of calories today so far either, but I am going to try and eat a decent dinner. Still coming back down from my vacation weight and hoping to be back to 147.xx by tomorrow to end the month with a whole 1 pound loss, lol. I guess a pound is a pound, right, if I make it!
05/31 - 149.3 same, I still was not 100% last night at dinner and pretty much could only stomach some toast and crackers. Water was terrible all day, but slept 100% better. Today I'm back to normal, so hopefully we can see a drop to end this round. May I am ending up 1.1 pounds from last month and my trend is up 2.3 pounds, so hopefully I can do a lot better in June. These last couple of weigh-ins for the month killed my average. Oh well still ended the month in the 140's.
06/01 - 148.7 hopefully I can hold it together this weekend and continue my downward trend. I need to stay on top of my water intake today and make good food choices. Taking my daughter out for lunch today to celebrate her bday and then do some shopping and cleaning. We had a bbq last with her friends and I did really well with food, but probably had a little more alcohol than I should have. I can’t believe my middle child is already 17, it really does go by quickly.8 -

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!

***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.
05/29 141 30 net carbs yesterday. YAY! It'll be different by tomorrow, but this is nice to see!
05/30 141.3 32 net carbs yesterday. Great to see this number again! Maybe I could break into the 139s next round???
05/31 142 43 net carbs, approximately. I have family visiting and I am apparently not bold enough to let them see I weigh and measure everything, so I estimated my butternut squash noodles yesterday instead of weighing them, and there's a lot of room for mistakes with that! I didn't realize it had a not-so-ideal carb to fiber ratio, oops. On the other hand, it's BUTTERNUT SQUASH, so... I'm not getting too worked up about "indulging" here.
06/01 139.4 I did it! Might be one day only, but my body is in the 130s!!! 24 net carbs yesterday, lower than I'm shooting for. Met my carbs and fasting goals, but not my movement goals at all this time, so that's going to be a priority next round. See you in Round 79, guys!

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 cake. Picked up some fruit and fudge pop sicles. Have leftovers from yesterday.
05/28 388.4 (+ 1.0)
05/29 385.8 (- 2.6) I went back to WW meeting today with old leader. Meeting was wonderful. Could not find a convenient Monday class so had to do a Wednesday. Reset my MFP ticker to home scale weight…..
05/30 384.0 (- 1.8)
05/31 383.0 (-1.0) Yay! Moving in the right direction. Trying to get my head around the intermittent fasting. It is not like I am hungry, it is just hard for me to wait to eat. And because I am up late and work a crazy shift at work I am going to start with the 14:10 method for now and gradually work myself up to 16:8. My work hrs are 10:30 to 7:00 three days a week and 9:30 to 6:00 two days. (I live in CST zone) So I have made my eating window 1:00 to 11:00 (2:00 to midnight on weekends or I may just take off weekends but I doubt it) My next challenge will be getting to bed by or before midnight or 1:00 am. I am having Mexican for dinner tonight but I should be able to stick my weight or go down a bit more before end of the challenge.
06/01 381.0 (-2.0) Goal exceeded! Total lost this round 9.4 pounds. CONSISTENCY, CONSISTENCY....THAT IS MY CHALLENGE. Yesterday was my 1st day of really doing the intermittent fasting and it was all good! I didn't binge during the 10 hours and I was not famished. I could have actually ate less. But I will continue to keep at it. Loved the 2 pound drop!

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.

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.
05/28--207.8 I was able to go out for a short run yesterday to test the hip and so far so good. There was a lot more walking then usual and some extra stretching, but the hip felt good and still feels good today. Going to trainer tonight. I had a co-worker this morning whisper to me what I've been doing lately because it looks like I've lost a lot of weight. What's funny is that I haven't lost much weight recently, but as someone whose 5'10" it takes a lot more of a weight loss for the weight to show. Add in the fact that I've started to get back serious to lifting weights over the past 3 months, it's now that the results of all the hard work are showing up. That is something that is hard to come to terms with when we are losing weight. Even though it would be nice to have the scale show a loss every day, every other day, or even every week it's not always the case and that's ok...it's a marathon, not a sprint.
05/29--208.1 Not concerned about the recent weight gain. I know that I am bloated right now, probably my digestive system still dealing with eating foods that I am allergic to from a couple of days ago. Worked out with my trainer yesterday an hip is still bothering me. He suggested I go see a PT, so I've booked an appointment for next week. After the trainer I was feeling frustrated because of the hip and the fact that I probably won't be able to run my 10K next Saturday even after all of the training I had done over the last couple of months, but then I had to remind myself that it is more important to make sure that I don't injure myself even more and make things worse. I also have a 7 miler scheduled in July that I running with my SIL that we had planned for months ago, so it's more important for me to get better now and be healthy to run that race.
05/30--208.1 Worked out with trainer tonight, we mainly focussed on working on the upper body. It was so busy at work today that I didn't get a lot of water in today.
05/31--207.2
06/01--207.4 This has definitely been an up and down round. It was definitely a result of my trip early in the week and my injured hip that affected my weight training and stopped me from running, but I'm looking forward to next round where I hope things stabilize. I have 6 weeks to go until my cruise...it's a short enough time period that I believe that I can really stay focussed on my eating and exercise.
