@jenn990205 Thank you. My old brain . . .
@shunggie Sometimes when I’m trying to post a “reply” I get a message that I’m not authorized or that I have to log in, which of course I already am or I wouldn’t be able to read the messages! MFP just has some issues, I guess!2 -

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 146.0 I didn’t exercise yesterday (first time in three weeks) and I also didn’t gain so shows that I can (and probably should) take rest days since I feel more energized now. This week is my TOM and I’m going to start tracking. I used to put it in my notes section of MFP but I can’t find that so easier to track old fashioned style to see how much I do and don’t gain
06/13 145.8 It is nice to see a new number. I managed to do 35 minutes yesterday at the gym, which I usually avoid completely for 2-3 days on my period. Today is really busy so I’m going to try to get the deficit on food alone.
06/14 145.4 yesterday was not an ideal diet day. I didn’t eat much, but drank more than usual. My nba team lost and it was a nail biter and an aperol spritz excessive game! Back to water and actual food today.
06/15 145.4 ate well yesterday and off to a boxing class today with a friend and watching a movie after. I’m really hoping to continue progress throughout the weekend

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 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
Round 78 - SW - 178.8 EW - 180.4 - Average weight over 10 days - 179.9
Round 79 - didn't participate
June 12 - 178.2 - Starting back on this round after completely missing the last 10 days. Weight is up a bit due to lack of exercise and having too many snacky type events happening. Hopefully will get it down another 3 or 4 pounds by end of June.
June 13 - 177.6 - Better day yesterday than I've had for a while. I need to keep it up.
June 14 - 177.2 - Another good day yesterday. I'm a bit worried about today because I'm going to have company all day.
June 15 - 177 - not a good day yesterday for healthy eating at all. Hopefully today is better.

My average weight weight s 108-112lbs
Highest weight 162lbs
Went through 2years of extreme stress and got PTSD started anti depressants and gained 50lbs!!
Now I’m off all meds except a thyroid pills because the stress and pills caused me to get hypothyroidism!!😩😩
Once I started to feel better emotionally I decided it was time to feel better physically. Even at 9 months pregnant I was 30 lbs less than than this stress weight! So to me it felt uncomfortable and awful. This last year on fitness pal has been up and down but it definitely kept me accountable. I go off track a lot but have consistently come back to my FP app💜 I am still having trouble getting into working out, I know once I get into it I will love it again. I’m a “give it all you got” person once I get past the beginning hump of pushing myself to start! Hoping to push myself and get my *kitten* up and going!!! Lol

06/11 …..195.9 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/12 …..195.9 ….. 3 Travel days out of 10 this round. My food weakness is in traveling. UGG. I’m hoping to NOT go hog wild on these days and keep my nose in the trough a little too much! Yesterday was a good day again. Yesterday’s stats: 1369 Calories In / 2334 Calories Out. 29 Net Carbs. 10,030 Total Steps & 4.24 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 34 minutes. No change in the unexpected weight gain. Patience is truly a virtue. Welcome to all the newbies & good luck everyone on this round. Thanks to @GrandmaJackie for providing this lovely spot where lives are changing everyday!
06/13 …..195.7 ….. Travel starts today.
06/14 …..xxxxx ….. Travel no weigh. Reading posts. Will be home this evening.
06/15 …..198.6 ….. Mexican & Chinese in the two days of travel. Now.... to undo the damage. Okay, so today I have reacquainted myself this morning with the process of fat adaption. I have read a few articles to refresh my (often brain-fogged) memory and I am ready to go! Here are the articles I’ve read this morning. Page 1: https://perfectketo.com/fat-adapted/ and Page 2 which is a link within page 1 https://perfectketo.com/what-is-the-ketogenic-diet/. There is certainly a lot more out there but all I have time for this morning. Youtube will be my best friend later tonight and I think I will rewatch the long video of butter bob “Butter makes your pants fall off” which I remember as being the greatest motivator for me when I first started my journey to better T2D numbers, weight loss & overall health. Thanks @quiltingjaine for the firm but caring push in the right direction. Yesterdays stats on my fitbit showed 13,785 Steps (mostly shopping with fitbit on my shoe). 5.83 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit step hours achieved while stopping during travel . I slept 6 hours & 17 minutes last night which is a lot for me. Probably carb overload & crash. My calorie & carb count for yesterday was way way too high I’m sure. I wish I would have skipped the rice, that would have helped. Today is a new day. I am beginning my fat adaption process & am looking forward to it like you wouldn’t believe. I have missed my prepped meals from home the last two days. More movement & more water is also on the horizon.

OSW: 178 in July of 2018
Rnd 79 EW: 148.7
Goals for next 10 days:
1) to get between 7,500 and 10,000 steps everyday (extremely hard to do sitting at a desk for 8-9 hours a day)
2) do not want to see anything higher than 148.9 on the scale in this round
3) finally see a new low of 145.xxx (lowest weight so far was 3 weeks ago and it was 146.5)
06/12 - 147.7 down another pound from yesterday, but still a little high. TOM is still killing me and I am still bloated. Better than yesterday, but I still feel terrible. My motivation is just not where it needs to be to start this round, but I am trying to push through it and keep going. Hopefully by tomorrow I should be back to normal weight and done with the bloating, cramping, aching feeling. If I can just resist for another day or 2 not to eat fried stuff I will be doing good. That's all I have been craving the last 3 days is anything fried, lol. On track today so far with water/food and I have already done just over 3,000 steps. So hopefully I can get some more in this afternoon.
06/13 - 146.7 still working my way back down. Hopefully tomorrow I will see a new low and drop all the weight I have been holding onto for the last couple of weeks. I have looked back in my notes and noticed that I have 2 really good months of losing after my TOM hits and then I stall or lose very slowly anywhere from 4-8 weeks until it comes again. Because of the birth control that I am on I only have a period once every 3-4 months. It gets frustrating during that last part, but I am not willing to change my birth control or get off of it, so I will just have to live with it. When I had more to lose it wasn't so obvious or drastic. I already have 5 children ages 20 years old to 10 years old. So I will stay on my birth control and deal with the consequences. May take me a year to lose the last 10 pounds before I see 138, but I won't have a baby to deal with, lol!
06/14 - 146.1 Went out to dinner last night and took half of my plate home and did not touch the sopapillas. I never do that normally, so win, win! I did have 2 margaritas, but had a ton of water in between and after. It was a nice impromptu date night with the hubby! Hoping to see a 145.xxx on that scale tomorrow morning. My next milestone on my happy scale is 146.0, so close but not quite there yet, and my personal mini-goal is 145.5. Maybe I can hit both tomorrow! Happy with today though!
06/15 - 146.7 had a slight bump up, but had a piece of pizza and ate the top of another piece. Then I filled up on salad, so not a terrible night, but I could have been better. Going to a comedy show with the hubby tonight, so going to try and keep it to a minimum with my alcohol intake and keep my calories down during the day to save up for dinner tonight.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 139.8 I think I'll bounce back and forth for a bit between 139 and 140 away at the beginning of this round until I drop. The neat thing about doing these rounds is learning your body's patterns.
06/13 140.8 Ha, there it is! Hopefully, back down tomorrow.
06/14 137.6 Liking this! If I don't succumb to the Father's Day treats planned for this weekend (cinnamon rolls and other random junk my husband has requested), maybe I can make it stick.
06/15 137.6 So far, so good! I'm not expecting to drop any more pounds this round, but I'd be thrilled if I end in the 130s!

Day - Weight - Comment
06/12 - 135.8 (-1.8lbs) - starting to get back down to normal. I think I was dealing with bloat from dietary changes but I have changed it back and will slowly add more fiber if needed. As for workouts I’m feeling sore. Yesterday and the day before were both really good strength workouts so I’m feeling it now. Got in 15 glasses of water. Did 35min cardio at about 75% effort. Feeling good. Hopefully I can break through 135 this round. 💪🏻 Just goes to show how the scale can be so misleading. Staying the course sometimes is all that is needed.
06/13 - 137.6 (+1.8lbs) - expected a jump I ate a lot of salt last night and ate late. On top of that I’m sore and a bit bloated. Good workouts yesterday, 1hr strength and 35 cardio at 74% intensity. 17 glasses of water.
06/14 - 136.9 (-0.7lbs) - DOMS! Super sore today! Might even take a rest day 😓 maybe not will see. 14 glasses of water. 1hr strength and 40m cardio at 76% effort.
06/15 - 135.9 (-1lb) - still a bit bloated but less sore. 30min strength, 30min cardio. 15 glasses water.

06/12 Starting weight 167.2 lbs - walked to work and back home for a total of about 75 minutes - my food intake wasn't great - lacto vegetarian till June 17th so my choices at an Italian restaurant weren't great. Downhill from there.
06/13 - And here's the result. Today's weight: 167.8 lbs - raining today so my cardio won't be great. Will do some weights at home instead. Pray God I stay on track food-wise today!

I’m 51 years old, female, 5’7 and started getting serious on MFP recently. I’m in the midst of a couch to 5K program and really enjoying it.
MFP starting weight: 186 (May 2019)
Round 79: - .6 pounds
Round 80 starting weight: 181.8
Goal weight, eventually: 150
NSV goal: Goal this round: increase endurance while running. I’d love to be in the 170s by the end of this round.
6/12…183. Had an impromptu gathering with friends at the house last night, which upended my careful tracking somewhat, but I weighed in this morning nonetheless. No gym today as I’ve run/walked several days in a row and figure I need a rest day.
6/13…181.0 I finished day 2, week 7 of my couch to 5K program and am feeling good; that’s a total of 20 minutes of running. Today I was able to run/walk the three miles in 40 minutes, which had been a small goal of mine. I’ve got the 170s in sight.
6/14…179.6 Ha! This is after 50 minutes on the treadmill first thing in the morning. I did yesterday’s couch to 5 K workout over again, as it was fairly hard. I broke yesterday’s personal best record by about 40 seconds, so a new personal best of three miles in 40.04. I’ll take a rest day tomorrow, or just walk with no running. I’ve also been close or just slightly over on my calories every day lately and I’ve kept up with my water intake. Whoop!
6/15…Did not weigh. Two words: piz-za. Yes, I know it’s really one word. I ate two words' worth. I’m sure I’m chock full of sodium. Promise I’ll weigh tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 - 139.6 lbs: no scale movement from yesterday. That's ok, the scale moved a lot last week and I knew it wouldn't last. Yesterday I ate pretty well, way too many eggs though and I'm switching out the Gatorade for Pedialite from now on (only used when I work out in the sun for a couple hours). Also took my measurements yesterday. Figured I'd track the inches since the scale isn't always kind.
06/13 - 138.8 lbs
06/14 - 138.6 lbs: played 6 hours of pickleball yesterday and was totally exhausted but not really hungry after all that time in the sun. Only slept 4 hours, not for lack of trying, and thought the scale would go up because of it. Might need a nap today.
06/15 - 139.2 lbs: there's the gain I expected from lack of sleep the night before. I really need my 8 hrs of sleep, can barely function without it. Today was a solid 3 hours of pickleball play in the sun and a salad for lunch (plus a rewarding hard cider). Planning a protein smoothie for dinner and a good long sleep tonight. Looking forward to the scale going back down tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 – 142.5 – Nice way to start the round!
06/13 – 141 – I haven’t seen this number for a couple months.
06/14 – 141 – It has been several months since I took my measurements, so I took them yesterday. I’m within a couple pounds of my weight last time I took them so I wasn’t expecting any real losses. I was surprised to see that I’m down a half inch on my waist and thighs, a quarter inch on my hips, and (of course) an inch on my bust. I don’t really do much exercising, other than to get at least 5000 steps a day and following @deepwoodslady lead, I’ve been dancing while doing work around the house. When I was in weight loss mode, the measurements are what kept me going when the scale wasn’t moving, but I am surprised to see how my body continues to re-composition itself while I’m eating at maintenance.
06/15 – 141.5 – It’s the weekend. A little extra salt and not enough water last night. I’ve also eaten over maintenance today with the grandson staying with us, so I’ll have to be extra mindful tomorrow.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Female, 5' 4 1/2 " age 53
Hi. My name is Trina. I started this challenge round 54, was pretty consistent, and then got lost somewhere mid Round 74. The scale slowed down a bit, but now I think I am on the move again. I am now 6-8 pounds till goal weight, and hoping to get there in the next couple of months. Trying to keep focused on losing, while also looking ahead to maintenance. I've been feeling great, and feeling great exercising, and not feeling food restricted, so all of those things are good! Let's all have a wonderful 10 days of making great choices!!

06/12 135 -- Continuing the bouncing. Today in a good way! Diagnosed with shingles yesterday. Luckily they are receding, and not affecting my energy levels. But still irritating!
06/13 134.5 -- New low! I've been really good with water, exercise, and keeping the carbs good!
06/14 134.5 Wow! That number stuck around for another day! 5 mile walk yesterday and hour of zumba. Ate well!
06/15 135.5 Pretty happy with this. We went out for Chinese food last night. I skipped the rice, but not surprised that the sodium or whatever would make it bump up.

@jlbtnc How old are your grandchildren? I'm always be more active when the grandkids are with me. Their mom doesn't like to cook, so they enjoy having real meals prepared. Why does meeting your goals seem harder when they're with you? Praying you and the kids have a great summer and lots of fun, healthy activities.06/14 – 196.6 Very, very bloated and have not been drinking enough water. So hard when I have the 2 grandkids for the sumer.

@klgriffis620 When you lack motivation for exercise--do it anyway! You'll probably be glad you did. If you can't find time for a full workout, just move as much as possible, wherever you are. BTW, 52 is young! Is the cancer still an issue? Praying that's behind you or soon will be.6

@DebBeaumont You're off to a great start! Keep it up until you're feeling motivated again! I have several friends who've had knee replacements, and it's made a huge difference in their quality of life. Two of the ladies I sing with had knee replacements, and we do some very active choreography! Wishing you well!
