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!!)
05/30: 192.0 (I kind of knew this was going to happen. I did not do a workout due to some intense shoulder pain all day long which is a flare up from an old volleyball injury I got in high school. I iced the shoulder and then put an icy hot patch to relieve the pain. I'm also sore in my legs and mostly my inner thighs from my workouts Monday and Tuesday. I'm hoping for a new low tomorrow morning! Happy Scale says I should make my weight on Saturday! I made Mexican pizzas last night (copycat Taco Bell recipe )
05/31: 192.0 (That’s unfortunate. I’ve been at a 750 calorie deficit per day and can’t seem to pass this weight. My weekly weigh in came out to the same. So I maintained this week. I have no idea what it would be. I’m not sore so maybe it’s something to do with my stomach. I ate a chicken teriyaki vegetable bowl yesterday and did a 55 minute turbo fire workout.)
06/01: 193.0 (Ended the remount with a gain which is expected. I’m hoping for a wonderful next round. I’m not gonna jinx myself like I have the last rounds! I ate a salad from chop stop last night and did a 5K training session yesterday.)

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.
05/28 186.6 Weird day yesterday - NSV my colleague and I had to walk up 4 flights of stairs to a meeting - she commented that I was "in way better shape" than she was! Fell of the sugar wagon - but back on track this morning.
05/29 188 Nope! not back on track. The dietitian says I should not need to abstain from any foods - just "eat intuitively" but I can't seem to make that work - 2 mouthfuls of cake and I have been on a sugar tear ever since.
05/30 DNW woke up with a sugar binge (there I said it) hangover - Only 1 goal for today - NO SWEETS
05/31 189.4 goals for today no sweets log all food
06/01 188.6 Not a successful round for weight loss - but I did learn some things. I also upped my exercise. I have finally (I think) adapted C25K to something I can manage. Whenever I tried before I was too sore and too tired to continue. So now I am doing what I call C25K FOLV (I'll explain that in a second) I am taking it very slowly. Starting with 30 second running intervals and increasing literally by 10% each week. so 30 sec, 33 sec 36 sec 40 sec etc I am now at 1 minute (x6)
FOLV? Where I work we have multiple editions and versions of the Christian scriptures. We refer to them by short forms - so the King James Version is the KJV, the New International Version is the NIV, the New Revised Standard Version is the NRSV etc. So C25K FOLV is C25k Fat Old Lady Version - I was going to call it the slow and steady version but- FOLV makes me laugh.
Have a great day everyone - see you in R798 -
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...
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.
5/29 138.6 accomplished 13/31. There is the gain from Monday's cake.
5/30137.2 14/31 accomplished a big drop... Which is nice to see
5/31 136.8 another x which is 5 total...more than I wanted by still not too bad for a month. I had a super hungry day and was kind of down because of the effort and work I have been putting into dieting and exercising....Plus the fast and not seeing the results I was expecting. I really had high hopes for this set of 10 days and it seems like my weight just likes it here and doesn't want to move. It is starting to get on my nerves a bit because at least before I could blame it on me not being diligent or working for it....but now that I am being strict with myself I can't find an issue to fix for my constant 3 pound yo-yoing. I guess my body likes it here and just wants to straddle this weight a bit longer..I hope the next 10 days brings a better drop. Plateauing sucks!

05/23 148.8 on vacation in Nashville through Sunday so trying to get a workout in the morning since will have restaurant food most meals.
05/24 148.3 was severely lacking on water yesterday so going to try to amp it up today.
05/25 149.8, ok with anything this weekend since having a great time and won’t eat this way when get back on Monday
05/26 149.9, heading back home later this afternoon. Had Nashville hot chicken and it was so good. Very happy that’s not available where I live since no temptation now haha
05/27 151, back home and hoping I can get back in the 148s by the end of the round. I worked out for an hour today and ate really healthy so back on track!
05/28 150.1, planning on working out 60 minutes today and running errands after work that I put off yesterday when I caught up on sleep.
05/29 148.5, happy with how I’ve worked out and eaten the last two days. Should be able to continue today
05/30 147, great drop but skeptical I’m actually this weight since this is a new low. I think if I see a 146 this round I might break something doing a happy dance haha! I’m watching the basketball game tonight with some friends after a planned 60 minute workout so the 146 may have to wait to next round.
05/31 146.8, going to try to work out for 60+ today so that I can end May with as low as a number as possible. I wasn’t expecting to see a 146 number and even if I end at a 147 number, pretty happy the way this round went.
06/01 146.7, totally unexpected results this round but not complaining. Hope to continue progress in the next round.

05/31 186.8 Stuck! Glad it didn't go up after my 2 beers after the 3K I walked and the tortilla chips at lunch.
I did get 19,000 steps in, though.

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
05/28 weight 150.4lbs: yay!!!! at last: goal to do 30 mins on treadmill - tick - got the 1500ml water in yesterday. 1999 cals
05/29 weight 151.2: what a bum, went out last night for a meal. Over 2k calories yesterday. Extra exercises needed now, you can't go out for a meal and not eat though....can you? goal to do 30 mins on treadmill + extra 30mins to show willing - tick - 1500 ml water in yesterday, which reminds me I haven't drunk any water yet!!!! I hate drinking the water now I've got to guzzle like a crazy elephant to get it all in today
05/30 weight 150.6 - goal to do 30 mins on treadmill - tick - drank 1500ml water yesterday
05/31 weight 150.2 - goal to do 30 mins on treadmil - tick + 30 mins general work (step and weights) only drank 1000 water yesterday
06/01 weight 150.4 - goal to do 30 mins on treadmill - tick - about 650 calos over yesterday. made some bread, ate the bread. i know better than to eat the bread. grandkids here most of the week and its just so easy to make the bread for them.....and me. i did 23k steps over the day to make up for it.
So thats the end of this round then. Bit disapointed with myself. Only 1lb lost in nine days. Well that jut means I try harder next round. Keep it up everyone7 -

05/23 - 136.1 (-0.8) - 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 (+0.3) - 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 (+0.6) - there’s the jump. It’s definitely water retention. DOMS, TOM coming.
05/28 - 137.1 (+0.1) - eh will probably be like this for the next week or so with TOM. Eating right, water intake is good, and exercising.
05/29 - 136.6 (-0.5) - right direction, hoping to see it drop more but likely will see water retention increase.
05/30 - 137 (+0.4) - probably going to see back and forth into the next round. For now I’ll keep doing what I’m doing. Water, food, and exercise have all been on point.
05/31 - 135.8 (-1.2) - weird that it dropped because TOM started yesterday evening. I expect it will still fluctuate but nice to see that number again. Water was good, food was healthy, and exercised quite a bit cardio and strength.
06/01 - 136.8 (+1) - expected this. It’s alright I know it’s water. Food was good, water was good, and got in both cardio and strength training. Next round should show all the progress.8 -
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.

05/28 DNW I've spent the last few days catching up with family and friends, which including drinking and eating more than usual, so I'm going to give myself a break on weighing in daily and get back in the habit on Saturday. I'll be walking the dog when I get home, I've refilled my water bottle once this morning, and I'm planning on doing an exercise DVD when I get home. Thank you all for the engagement congratulations. I'm so excited!
05/29 DNW We'll be at Six Flags all day with the seniors, we have the elementary school band concert tonight, and then we're going out for drinks. Busy busy!
05/30 DNW I'm feeling pretty dehydrated today. I only had about 20 oz of water and everything else was coffee, soda, or beer. I also ate unhealthy park food including bbq, pizza, and a funnel cake. At least I tracked 16,707 steps. I'll be drinking lots of water today, attempting to workout at home this afternoon, and then I need to go back to school for senior awards night. There will probably be drinks again tonight because my very favorite bar is located in the town I teach in.
05/31 DNW I'm tired! I only got 7053 steps yesterday. I missed the awards night after being stuck in traffic due to a boat that became unhitched from its truck and blocking four lanes of traffic. Graduation is tomorrow and then it's dinner at my fiance's parent's house.
06/01 182.0 lb Pretty pleased to see a relatively small gain! Yesterday I got 11,000 steps and had only 25 oz of water. We had a lovely outdoor graduation ceremony and I reached today's step goal by noon due to walking back and forth from the band room to the stadium. I'm looking forward to getting back on track and seeing you all in the next round!7 -

06/01 272.8 Not a good round, up +1.3, thats ok i am driven to get it right. I just had a family member survive a widow maker heart attack at age 55, I am 54, good grief Dale get this thing fixed.
@dlhollin1 Sending prayers to your family member age 55. So glad to hear the news.

@quiltingjaine Thanks for the prayers & thoughts. Often when "situations" come up within my family, I am the one called upon to assist. Because I work from home, it is often "perceived" that I am free to help & should be the one chosen. Sometimes I think my family & friends underestimate how time-consuming & difficult my job really is, running two small but well established and busy businesses with no employees but myself! Since my husband passed it has become harder & harder to coordinate my time and to accomplish what needs to be done. I do understand, however, that I can't get "fired" from my job if I leave to assist my family, and I don't have to ask for time off from a supervisor or manager. So I do what I can, when I can for whomever I can. Being away from home wreaks (did I spell that right?) havoc on my diet and exercise goals, but I continue to work on me every chance I get. I know my weak spot is being away from home (my safe zone). I will never give up on my goal to make my eating habits a permanent lifestyle, no matter where I am. Thanks for your continued support & for always "pulling for me". Your encouragement helps me back, even when I am sometimes completely lost. In regards to "elderly", I agree, it's a frame of mind. I will be 60 next year and if folks want to call me elderly, that's okay, as long as they are giving me my senior discount! LOL6

GW: No number - just lower than start weight
UGW: 150 by next year - slow and steady!
05/23 - 183.0 - Mini whoosh. Back to documenting my days here. Went back and read my blogs and the daily insights are really helpful. I've been back to morning protein smoothie and packing lunch. Lots of seasoned tuna packets on low carb wraps for ultimate ease and squashing excuses.
05/24 - 183.4 - Yesterday did not go as planned. Had to roll with the punches but ended up eating out at a burger joint so feeling a little salty today. Retail job is giving me a lot more steps than normal though. Got breakfast sandwich this morning because out of almond milk but chose an egg white and swiss on multigrain for 240 cals instead of higher cal options. Packed my lunch though! Final wedding dress fitting tonight and 5 lbs up since last visit so fingers crossed!!!

05/28 186.6 - No surprise there as I went off the rails this holiday weekend. I did lots of physical activity as well though, so back to the habits today and moving on! The dress fit beautifully! Must remain around at or below 183 by June 22. Feeling so tired today thanks to my terrible eating this weekend though.
05/29 188.0 - Yep, consequence of my actions this weekend still. Definitely didnt drink enough water yesterday either. I know what I need to do...it includes healthy eating habits AND healthy sleeping and self care habits. The binge definitely came in part due to exhaustion so working to balance things out a bit!
05/30 186.6 -Terrible day yesterday. Bad car diagnosis led to a very stressful day and eating takeout from the grocery store...Need to work on my coping skills.
05/31 185.8 - AND THE HITS KEEP COMING! Another bad day yesterday and today is competing for the title as well. Being more mindful today, starting water now - salad for lunch and grilled chicken on the menu for dinner. Trying my best to stay positive, because there is still LOTS to be grateful for despite the hardships. What doesn't kill us...
06/01 184.6. - Active day working, not the best choices though. And late night snack attack auuffhghh. Grocery shop and meal prep for tomorrow.5 -

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.
5/30 - 141.1. I got on the scale twice to make sure that was right! With no exercise yesterday, and a little overindulgence with a cupcake, I assumed I'd go up or stay the same. I've hit my goal for this challenge which is exciting. I have a work luncheon I have to attend today, will try to make a good choice so I don't see this go up too much tomorrow.
5/31 - 140.9. Shocked at another small drop as I ate out for lunch and it was heavier than my usual meals. Wins: RPM class and 2.5 mile walk. Ate a lighter dinner due to the big lunch. Did not drink enough water, will work on that today.
6/1 -140.4. Not expecting that! Had a larger dinner at a school fundraiser. Wins - short interval run, hydrated well. So happy with how well this round went, I exceeded my own expectations. Down 2 lbs7 -
Round 78 (second round)
Starting Weight 147.8

STG 143.55 Midpoint on this journey! (loss of 33.55 pounds)
Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 147.3 Great start for this challenge; 0.5 drop from the end of the last challenge!!! So far this week have not seen the typical one pound increase/plateau but have been keeping carbs more stable lately. Have a relatively low carb day dinner planned (spinach/arugula with quinoa salad and grilled arctic char) so seeing if that might help with the usual bump that seems to occur each week! (also saved enough calories to enjoy a glass of wine and stay within target). Did weight circuit (legs) at the gym and then 45 minute step class - good workout! When I went to bathroom, saw what looked like small pea size blood clots, but urine looked OK otherwise. (I have been in menopause since I was 45 so not period related!) Checked it out with PCP this afternoon and no microscopic blood in urine, so supposed to check back if it re-occurs. Mystery for now, but she thought it could be exercise related or perhaps ibuprofen as had been taking as lower back was a little sore still.
05/24 147.4 small bump up, but typical. At least not the 1 lb bumps that I have seen previously. Went to gym this morning for flexibility/strength class and then spin for 45 minutes. Noticed that sweat smelled like ammonia (yuck) and did not have the same energy level for my workout. only had a cappuccino this am before working out (forgot to make overnight oats with yogurt and had to leave early so skipped even the yogurt) so likely burning protein and low on glucose. Yesterday was also lower carbs than usual so need to watch that I get enough healthy carbs relative to protein/fat to avoid this. Finished up at the gym with some walking on the track to cool down and then did my arm weight machine circuit as will be out of town Sat/Sun/Monday. While I felt I had plenty of energy for the arm circuit, having a three day rest away from the gym for the holiday weekend is probably a good break!
05/25 DNW out of town no scale/no gym so going to eat at maintenance level
05/26 DNW " "
05/27 DNW " "
05/28 145.8 Highly pleased when scale this morning read 145.8, a drop of 1.6 pounds from the last weigh in!!! (Although I won't be surprised if it goes up tomorrow!). Limited exercise while on vacation - just walking in town/beach and did some core body exercises each night. Tried to make good food decisions when eating out, although did have more wine than normal. Highlight was going through closet to find beach clothes and trying on the large linen pants from last year and finding that they were too big, and that the medium ones looked great! (getting close to halfway). Still need a large top as bust size as not changed as much as hips. Worked out at the gym this am - did leg weight machine regime and latin dance class, and may go back this evening for pilates for more stretching/core work.
05/29 147.2 Well not at all surprised that the 1.6 pound drop vanished overnight, as this does tend to happen after a big "whoosh" and I had a good run of 9 days without a big increase! Likely combination of the cardio/weight training (legs yesterday) and pasta for dinner, so expect that a lot of this is water, and hopefully will drop back down over the week (usual pattern). At least I felt well fueled for the spin class this morning and then upper body weight routine!!! Increased the weight for the chest press and some of the other exercises so feeling stronger. Have an appointment with nutritionist late this afternoon for monthly check in/tweak of diet. So far have lost 4.6 pounds this month, so slower pace than last month. Hopefully will end the month with a 5 pound loss!
05/30 145.8 Yeah!!!!! Back to 145.8 this morning, even with an extra glass of wine last night ! I was still at calorie goal, but probably need to not add the extra glass on a regular basis, as that was one of the reasons I got to my peak weight ! Should meet macros today so interested to see how the usual carb load (e.g. not the higher pasta carb load of Tuesday) combined with weight training (legs) and step aerobics plays out with water retention tomorrow, as exercise level today was comparable to Tuesday. Would be happy to try to tweak macros to reduce the big bumps up primarily for the psychological boost of seeing stability or drops, rather than increases :-) Of course if that were possible, I am sure that info would be more widespread and we would not be talking about nonlinear weight loss! In any case happy to see the drop!
05/31 147.0 Bummer - well weight back up again, but hard work out yesterday with weights and step aerobics so still hope it is due to water retention! Quads still a bit sore from the leg press yesterday (up to 195lb!) but loosened up after the spin class. Need to look back at diary to see if there are more of these up ticks after the serious leg regime. Did upper body weight training and so far no soreness, so probably can increase weight there. In any case, looking forward to some "rest" days over the weekend! I am under calorie budget so far and expect to end the day within my goal. Dinner out tonight with sashimi and sushi, so not sure how accurate my entries are. In any case the scale is the great equalizer between errors in reported calories in and errors in exercise calories burned, so will just have to see what tomorrow brings!
06/01 146.1 Yeah!!!! weight dropped by almost a pound! I had put into my calendar one of the MFP "5 week predictions" which forecast 147 as the weight tomorrow, and almost a pound under right now!!!! As a feature request it would be nice if the app could also remind us if when it over-predicted - that would be a real mental boost for success! Did tabata/cardio in the morning and then abs and a HIIT elliptical routine at home later. Definitely will do more of the HIITs now that I figured out a way to program it on my phone with music as calorie burn was much higher for the time spent! Quads feeling the workouts, so tomorrow will definitely be a rest day. Well I still need to be active as I joined a June Apple Watch Challenge - go team #TourdeFat - so want to make sure that I at least close all the rings :-) Feeling a bit bloated as i tried the sirataki vegetarian pho noodles for lunch so adjusting to the fiber in them and hope that doesn't cause a blip in weight tomorrow! Dinner was back to lowish carb - grilled big eye tuna with a ginger/soy sauce/dark sesame oil marinade and then a salad with cucumber, scallions, mandarin oranges and spring greens from the farmer's market, and at the end of day total was under goal and macros where they should be. The next 10 day challenge will be a real challenge as I will be out of town for almost half of it, but hope to report in when possible. Not sure if I am being too compulsive about tracking, but seriously wondering if I should take the scale with me as there will be room.
Thanks everyone for the support this time around!

ROUND 78 (Round 20 for me)
5’4 ½” 67 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
Goal: Maintain between 135 and 140 lb. and increase muscle mass
I started Round 54 and Keto WOE on September 24, 2018.
Cumulative weight loss for Rounds 54-70 = 44 lb.
I started and finished the last round below my maintenance range. I like the keto WOE and, mostly, stick to that, but I add extra carbs when I’m under 135.
Day/Weight/Comment
05/23 134.4 Ten days go by so quickly! Yesterday, I did a 3.5 mile walk with my dog, Thor, in the morning and strength training in the afternoon. Today was a rest day, and I played Canasta with friends. My shoulders were sore today, so I’m glad it was a rest day.
05/24 134.2 Thor and I walked about 3.5 miles today. We jogged about a half mile of it, only up-hill and flat areas—no down-hill. My knee isn’t bothering me now, the orthotics have relieved the Morton’s Neuroma problem in my toes, and I’m pretty sure I can work up to running again. I miss running 5K and 10K races. I’m sticking with the strength training, too, and that helps my knees.
05/25 132.6 Part of this drop is because we didn’t get to bed until 3 a.m., and I didn’t get up until almost 11:30! A late start makes for a short day. Tonight, I don’t plan to stay up that late. I haven’t don’t today’s cardio workout in my strength training program, so I’m about to do that. Tomorrow morning, I leave early to sing, with our gospel group, at a church in the area, so I’ll miss my own church service. Since I lead the singing at my church, I try not to miss very often. My sweet husband will take over tomorrow, but he’d rather just play his guitar and let me lead.
05/26 134.6 I intended to go to bed early last night, but it was after 2 a.m., and up again at 6:30. (sigh) That always results in a higher scale number, but it’s still under maintenance, and I had a good day. The morning concert went well, and I took a nap before working in the yard. I didn’t get my strength training in, but tomorrow’s another day.
Before dark yesterday, my husband brought Thor in and said Thor had alerted on a rattlesnake in the yard. My husband said he’d take care of it, so I continued with my cardio workout. A few minutes later, DH knocked on the back door and again on the front door before I could get to either, so I went out to look for him. I grabbed a hoe and heard the snake in the front yard before my husband showed up with a spade. Well, the rattlesnake waited for me to go back in the house and get my revolver loaded with snake shot, and I ended his threat to our tranquility. What I didn’t realize until later was that I was in the front yard, shooting a snake, while only wearing short shorts and a bra. Fortunately, we live in the country, and it’s possible only my husband saw me. Praise God, all is well.
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 lately, since I've allowed myself a few more carbs lately, 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.
06/01 132.2 My weight reflects a full night of sleep. As usual, I went to bed late, but slept until 10:40. I enjoyed my Saturday—nice breakfast, cardio workout, mowed the lawn, and my husband did maintenance on the tractor and outlined the pasture for me so I can mow the pasture this week, if it doesn’t rain first. We’re blessed!

@deepwoodslady Donna, I think I ❤️ you. I know that you will succeed. Keep your eye on the prize and don’t let folks take advantage of your kind heart. 🤗 {{{HUGS}}} 🤗 (Amen on the senior discount!)
@StatChicBayes Some people might say I’m obsessed with the scale but when we last made a cross country car trip, the scale went with us. I just wish I could take it when we fly. I worry about it being broken in the rough handling of luggage and restricted weight limits . . . Glad DD#1 has the same scale in OK.2 -
See everyone in Round 79!!

Round 32
SW 135.8
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.
5/29 138.6 accomplished 13/31. There is the gain from Monday's cake.
5/30137.2 14/31 accomplished a big drop... Which is nice to see
5/31 136.8 another x which is 5 total...more than I wanted by still not too bad for a month. I had a super hungry day and was kind of down because of the effort and work I have been putting into dieting and exercising....Plus the fast and not seeing the results I was expecting. I really had high hopes for this set of 10 days and it seems like my weight just likes it here and doesn't want to move. It is starting to get on my nerves a bit because at least before I could blame it on me not being diligent or working for it....but now that I am being strict with myself I can't find an issue to fix for my constant 3 pound yo-yoing. I guess my body likes it here and just wants to straddle this weight a bit longer..I hope the next 10 days brings a better drop. Plateauing sucks!
6/1 138.8 yikes. I am starting to realize what I am doing wrong and I had a serious look at what is causing my weight fluctuations. Since the 13th I have had 6 days of not sticking to it...which is practically a whole week of eating freely out of the last 20 days. This is not good and it's obvious my yo-yoing is caused by me loosing weight, regaining a couple of pounds and then having to re loose that weight, just to have another cheat meal day. I know for some of you readers this may have been as clear as day and I probably annoyed some readers by being oblivious but I did need this experiment to really microscope the issue. A little background information for you, I live/am around 5 20-something year old boys who non stop eat everyday. They don't gain weight and snacks, ordering out etc. Is constant. So while I am trying to stick the course, this is constantly around me. I am not justifying the issues I am having (I can walk away or find something to do when my trigger senses go off) I am just simply explaining that food wise, my weeks feel longer then they are and the cheat meals not as often as they really are.....Just simply because of what I am constantly being exposed too. I recently joined an MFP group called UAC and I am hoping this will keep me on track. Given that it begins at the beginning of the month, I am going to attempt this non stop dieting experiment all over again. *sigh* For positive spin on things, at least I am not giving up. I am forgiving myself and moving on....again. I realized that is how life goes and this isn't a race, this is a lifestyle.3 -

You have done very well and been very consistent for a long time. UAC is tough but very helpful with consistency and that is what works.3 -
