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.

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.
June 16 - 175.4 - these good days are paying off.
June 17 - No scale
June 18 - 177.6 - Had too much junk food late at night the last couple of days.
June 19 - 176.2 - Celebrated finally getting a job offer by having a cheeseburger, fries and coke from A&W! I am not regretting it.
June 20 - 183.0 - I don’t see how this is possible. I’ll go with it though.
June 21 - 182.0 - I had my final swimming lesson last night and I feel it was very successful. Food wise, not the best yesterday. I will have to be sure to take food with me to work to avoid eating in the dining room at the manor.7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 145.5 - Been hitting 144 and 143 the last rd (143 2x and that's my new low)
06/13 145.2 - rough rough day - managed to stay under cal goal, but that's about the only positive.
06/14 145.4 - Walked at work for lunch a couple of miles and rode 2 horses when I got home. Did a decent job nutritionally. Need to get back on track with pushups & plants. Been working to stay under 1200 cal day and bumped it up to 1500 - I don't think losing 2 lbs a week is feasible when you're down to about the last 10. I think my metabolism needs a boost to get moving so I'm going to try 1500-1600 cal daily until July.
06/15 146.4 - Walked 8.5 miles, on my feet most of the day. Did decent foodwise.
06/16 146 - Lots of walking all morning, and then I freakin stress ate all afternoon. Queso & chips, cheeseburger, dip, Big order of McDonald's fries, beer - you name it, I ate lots of it.
06/17 148 - YIKES!! Drinking water & green tea - miserably bloated
06/18 145.6 - I still feel bloated, but at least better this morning. Ate fairly healthy yesterday, got in about 3 miles walking. I'm cautiously optimistic that tomorrow's weigh in should be less.
06/19 146.4 - Jokes on me, most awful PMS I've had in ages. I did well with food yesterday and got in lots of walking. Miserable today - hugely bloated, hungry, cramps, tired, cranky...ugh! I did get one horse riden before work and will do a couple miles at lunch. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
06/20 148.6 - I'm so very over this week. Walked & ate decently yesterday and thanks to freakin raging hormones, scale jumped over 2 lbs overnight. Just trying to stay motivated and keep on going for a few more days - this has to end. I'm hugely bloated, even my hands are swollen.... Did manage to get back the the Rx BC that I've been on for about 8 years. It can't kick in soon enough.
06/21 147.0 - I think my body is slowly returning to normal, at least my hands aren't so puffy today. It's been hell week. Walked yesterday and stayed under my cal goal. Just trying to plod thru for now, I'm optimistic I'll be back in the 145s by the wknd. Ready to can this round and start round 81. On the upside, I shouldn't have to deal with this again on the next round!! Onward & upward!6 -

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 - 203 - Woohoo for going down 2lbs!! Not sure what caused it and it could be water weight. I had my leftover Hawaiian chicken bowl for lunch yesterday, mainly chicken and veggies, and one egg roll. For dinner I had Wingstop, but only like 4-5 dry wings (not including a couple boneless ) Slowly trying to drink more water again. Having a salad for lunch today and have a couple healthy snacks so I don't feel too hungry. Hope to continue keeping my number down!
06/13 - 202.8 - Made a typo yesterday, was supposed to be 203 not 202. Happy my number is still slowly going down though! Had a salad for lunch yesterday, but ended up having a burger and chili fries for dinner. I always do really good for lunch and get wild with dinner. Also been in a funk for the past few days. My friend who moved without telling me has been cold towards me and really bitter about the fact that I was out of town these past couple weekends. I've been in pain both weekends, going to be blowing all my money on my teeth and a speeding ticket I got a couple months ago, things are far from vacation mode for me and being given the cold shoulder like this is just adding to my anxiety, stress and making me feel really depressed and alone. I'm glad I can at least vent to strangers on the internet Hope everyone is having an awesome day and kicking this challenges *kitten*!
06/14 - 202.6 - Mango Cilantro salad for lunch and snacked in the morning on crackers and pork jerky. Had a sushi bowl for dinner instead of a teriyaki bowl and got half rice and half veggies instead of full rice. Should have done full veggies, but was craving the rice. Family flew in from Canada last night and they were up late. We made them sandwiches and I had a little bread with cucumber and meat, but that's it. This morning I had a Starbucks bagel (way too many carbs) but needed to have something to keep me full and I didn't have time to pack a snack. Won't be weighing in tomorrow or Sunday morning because I will be at my boyfriends with his lieing scale, so hope this weekend will be good to me
06/15 - X - No weigh in, wasn't home.
06/16 - 202.5 - Weighed in when I got home in the mid-morning. Was surprised I went down a tiny bit after Disneyland. I walked a decent amount, but also snacked on a lot of stuff. I still portioned dinner and stuck with either water or diet coke.
06/17 - 203.1 - I was prepared for it to go up after Father's Day. I had half of a mini apple with peanut butter and half of my iced coffee and just water. We went to Morongo's buffet for Father's Day and the line was insane. I munch on some things, nothing too heavy and we did some walking. I got hungry at night and just stood ate some sandwich meat in the kitchen. I'm feeling pretty good about my weigh-in for tomorrow though
06/18 - 202.8 - Happy to be going back down a little. I was in a LOT of pain yesterday, not sure if it's IBS or a cyst in my ovaries (I've had this pain before a few times) but I was at work and couldn't even move. Trying to be cautious with my food. I had an Asian salad yesterday, think the cabbage made me sick, and had Armenian food for dinner. Having a different salad for lunch today with some crackers. I could thankfully move more today and feel better. This pain usually goes away in an hour, but this one lasted from 3pm yesterday until now.
My goal weight for this round is 201, still think it's manageable and hope to get there in the next couple days.
06/19 - 202.8 - I'm convinced my scale is broken. It keeps being sassy and told me 3 different weights, but I'm just going to stick with yesterday's weight since that was one of the numbers it said. Had salad for lunch yesterday and Wingstop for dinner, but didn't have much really. 3 wings (dry seasoned and a couple boneless wings, also dry seasoned. I think my mess up were those mini chip bags I got to snack on at work when I'm hungry, but I ended up having 4 of them I did force myself to have 2 water bottles yesterday (yay!) Trying to portion things out today and push myself to 3 water bottles.
06/20 - 203 - I keep yoyoing around this weight. Shouldn't have had the Costco hot dog for dinner last night. Everything else I ate was mostly healthy. I want to go to the gym, or at least get more steps in, but I've been feeling nauseated when I leave work and by the time I get home I feel crappy
06/21- 202.6 - Didn't lose as much as I hoped for this round, but also had some high expectations. I ended last round at 205.5 and started this round at 203. Lost .4lbs this round which is not bad! I could have done a lot better if I didn't eat crappy this week for dinner. I won't be able to do a weigh in tomorrow, but excited for the next round and hope I can stick with it this time around!8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
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 ….. 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. 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.
06/16 …..198.1 ….. Yesterdays stats: 1358 Calories In / 2317 Calories Out. 19 Net Carbs. 10,437 Total Steps & 4.42 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 4 hours & 22 minutes & woke up refreshed.
06/17 …..198.4 ….. Travel today & tomorrow. I need to get the next two travel days behind me in order to be successful in my fat adaption plan. It is easier to do it when I’m not on the road. Who starts a diet on Thanksgiving morning, right? Yesterday’s stats: 2282 Calories In / 2825 Calories Out. 119 Net Carbs in goodies/sweets & my Keto Egg Roll in a bowl dinner. 15,514 Total Steps & 6.56 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 5 hours & 34 minutes. Lots of movement with the spring cleaning work but not enough water. I know I badly need the fat adaption when I crave the sweets like I am. When adapted, my cravings and my hunger are so much more under control, and even goes away . It is so prevalent that I will absolutely know when I am adapted. I will be mindful the next two days as much as I can, but I look forward to being at home for a stretch and climbing back on my wagon.
06/18 …..xxxxx ….. Travel. Yesterdays fitbit stats: 2631 Calories burned. 10,388 Total Steps & 4.4 Total Miles. 8/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 13 minutes. Very nice for me! I will be home sometime this evening. Have a great Tuesday everyone.
06/19 …..198.7 ….. Home at last! I am very worried about the scale as things often show up a few days later. Day one of travel I did pretty good sticking mostly to breakfast foods in my travels. Day 2, not so much! Fat adaption begins today as (barring emergencies with personal or business) I will be home for a bit of a stretch. I couldn’t wait for this day/time as I need it so badly! Yesterdays stats according to fitbit: 2446 Calories Out. 10,223 Total Steps & 4.33 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 5 hours & 18 minutes. I had a short 11 minute walk when I got home last night (before dark). I managed to get in my hourly steps even during travel so that was a bit of stopping but it felt good. Today is a new day!
06/20 …..198.1 ….. Yes, yes, yes!!! Woo Hoo! I’m typing my weight in red again due to a deficit!!!! Yes!!!! Overjoyed here! My cravings were horrendous last night, nothing seemed to help so I just accepted the suffering and it payed off. Stayed to plan but I still need to drink more water. I am still busy with the kitchen reno & the cabin emergencies (yes, more have appeared), so I have not had time for dedicated exercise, but I’ve tried to fit in a small continual walk around the property daily at least. Yesterdays stats: 1338 Calories In / 2408 Calories Out. 18 Net Carbs. 12,180 Total Steps & 5.17 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Steps Hours. I took a 13 minute walk. I slept 6 hours & 1 minute & I woke up refreshed proving that every minute counts (lol). I am still not Intermittent Fasting. The break will continue until I feel I am fat adapted. I am well on my way. Now, to just stay the course! Clearly I will end this round higher than when I started, but today, in this moment, I know I am on the road to victory. I can feel the dirt under my feet and what a wonderful, sometimes dusty, but courageous & rewarding (and beautiful) path it is that I (we) walk!
06/21 …..197.7 ….. Gained this round but starting losing again near the end. Staying on plan and working on fat adaption. Scale is slowly moving down & I’m shedding more water. Yesterdays stats: 1553 Calories In / 2663 Calories Out. 16 Net Carbs mostly friendly veggies. 15,289 Total Steps & 6.47 Miles working really hard at my business. I took a 25 minute moderately paced walk. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 22 minutes. I have ended the round back on track mentally & physically. I hope to keep up the momentum. Nice round everyone! See you at 81.

What an emotional struggle since my husband passed in Feb.but I am improving.
6/20=163.8. Aqua aerobics+bike+walking.
So much rain that you must grab that sunshine when it is there.
6/21=162 made goal.Did 2 water aerobic classes.& walked,will try to bike. Got bone broth &IF,,which always helps the weight go done.

@abowersgirl Chin Up Girl! You've lost several pounds this round. You are also paying very close attention to what changes occur in your body because of any diet or exercise choices you make. You are on top of it. No worries!
@shunggie Congrats on entering the 160's. Also, thanks for the info on your friend. I feel the same way when someone gets seriously sick. Why don't I do more about my own health while I am able? My prayers will continue to you & your friend!

Day/Weight/Comment
06/12 - 192.0 (Back to this number that my body loves, but at least I'm 0.8 pounds down from yesterday. TOM should be here in 1 day according to my app. I had Trader Joe's mandarin chicken last night with rice and did my 5K training where I had to run 9 of 30 minutes. Oh my was it hot yesterday! 105 degrees and I did intervals instead of straight through since the air was so thin. I'm glad I accomplished it though!)
06/13 - 191.4 (A slight decrease but way higher than last week's weight. TOM is here any day now! I had breakfast for dinner and did my first spin class in years! My lower body is hurting today!)
06/14 - 190.8 (I gained 1.8 pounds this week but I just got TOM yesterday one day early. That explains all the water weight! I did a 5K training session even though I didn’t want to at all!)
06/15 - 190.6 (Forgot to post yesterday but weight is starting to go down because of TOM! I had chipotle and didn’t do a workout!)
06/16 - 191.0 (Went in a date night last night and ate half of my dinner. I didn’t get a dessert this time! I did a 5K session and I’ve been having trouble running. I read online to run slow! I’ve been running too fast that I can’t seem to run long enough. Can’t wait to try this Tuesday!)
06/17 - 191.6 (This is a good weigh-in! I'm 0.6 pounds less than last Monday, so I'm hoping for a loss. I did a Zumba class yesterday, finally! I've been wanting to since I got my gym membership, but the workout room at LA Fitness by my house has been under renovation. I had to travel to another gym in town to get my Zumba fix. I had Father's Day dinner last night, which was steak, baked potato and asparagus. I also made a strawberry shortcake for my FIL at his request and had a small slice of that.)
06/18 - 190.4 (I'm already below my Friday weight and it is barely Tuesday! I'm hoping for a new low and to get closer to my next Happy Scale Milestone. I did a very fun Zumba class yesterday with one of the most fun instructors! He really pumped everyone up and no wonder his class was full! I made spinach and cheese empanadas last night with a salad.)
06/19- 189.6 (Woohoo! Back to the 180's! I made a meat lasagna last night that took forever but was SO worth it. I tried running 12 minutes yesterday doing the slow running method and it worked! I started off bad though since a part of it was uphill. I did slow for 1.5 minutes then 1.25 minutes and then after I did about 5.25 minutes all together and finished off the last 4 together. It's a lot better than my 1.5 minute out of breath intervals. I was not out of breath but my legs were on fire!)
06/20- 188.4 (A brand new low for me! Finally lost all the TOM weight and more. I did a Power Circuit gym class last night that was amazing and I had Chinese chicken salad for dinner last night.)
06/21- 187.4 (Yay another new low! I've lost a lot this week (3.4 pounds) but it was partially due to TOM. I still catch myself telling my hubby my weight and telling him I weighed 197.4 today...he's always telling me that I keep saying I'm heavier, which I'm not sure why I do that constantly. I made some oven fried chicken breast, mashed potatoes and broccoli last night and did a 5K run.)

Day-Weight-Comment
06/12--207.2 Had a great day yesterday... felt in control with my eating. PT today.
06/13--207.4 Went to PT yesterday and he gave me the ok to do my normal weightlifting!!! I haven't talked to him about running, but when I go see him tomorrow I will ask.
06/14--206.3 The loss today is a reflection of me getting my head back in the game. Last round I wasn't as focused and the scale showed a temporary increase, but now that I'm more in control of my eating and I'm back to exercising more the water weight is almost gone and I'm heading back in the right direction. PT today and working out.
06/15--206.1 PT gave me the go ahead to do all my normal weightlifting and to start running...I am so excited!!! I am supposed to start slow, running 1 mile at a time for the first week, but I am glad to be able to run again after almost 1 month of no running. Right after PT I went to the gym and did my weightlifting and it felt great. I may go out for a run today, but I will see how my hip feels after yesterday's workout. Going to work on getting my water in today.
06/16--206.1 Hip felt sore when I woke up yesterday so I didn't run yesterday and just took it easy. Success yesterday was getting my water in and limiting my snacking. Went out for a long walk with the dog this morning and then going to the hairdresser later this morning.
06/17--205.6 I had a late lunch and I wasn't hungry when my husband made dinner. So instead of just eating dinner because it was there I didn't eat it. Instead I had a couple of snacks throughout the evening, including a whole pint of strawberries, and only snacked when I was hungry. I didn't get enough water in yesterday, so working on water today.
06/18--205.9 Went out and ran 1 mile yesterday!!! My first run in over 1 month since my hip injury and so far the hip is feeling good. Trainer tonight,
06/19--206.7 Had my first full-body workout with my trainer in over month and I am so sore today. Started doing box jumps...who knew jumping could be so technical. Hip feels good today, but not sure if I will go out for a run or not later today.
06/20--207.2 I am still so sore today after my workout 2 days ago, prior to my injury I usually only had soreness only 1 days after working out. It's interesting to see how after only 4 weeks of reducing my training I lost some muscle mass. Hoping that now that I am back to my regular workouts my muscle memory results in a quicker recovery that will reduce the DOMS. Trainer tonight.
06/21--207.4 Felt bloated this morning, so I'm not surprised about the tick up. It's fascinating to see how my weight fluctuated so much over 10 days...regardless my average weight is still trending downwards. Rest day today.

ejoining . I need some serious accountability.
I’ve been having a lot of back pain lately, I have recurrent herniated discs and I hurt my back about three weeks ago lifting a patient and my back just has. It had time to heal. Another reason to be accountable to myself to get the extra weight off.

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.
06/16 - 147.7 up a bit, but I’m ok with that. Had a couple of drinks and dinner out last night before the comedy show. We had a blast and it was a great start to my hubbys fathers day weekend!
06/17 - 148.6 Didn't do great this weekend, but was not terrible either. We ate sandwiches Saturday and Sunday and pizza Friday night, so my carbs were definitely higher than normal. Had a nice bbq yesterday though and just relaxed and watched movies most of the afternoon. Back at work today and ready to start another week. 4 days left and hoping to finally hit 145.xxx this week!
06/18 - 147.3 there goes the carbs from the weekend and our bbq on Sunday. I love steak, but it seems to stick with me for a day or so. Finally reached my step goal and actually passed it yesterday. I completed 12,000 steps and my water/food were good. Should be back to 146.xx tomorrow and 3 days left to see that 145! I am trying to make sure I walk 1000 steps every hour no matter what. Today I have 3 meetings, so it may get a little tricky. I am walking into a meeting now and am about 300 steps ahead, we will see what happens the rest of the day.
06/19 - 146.1 back down to last Friday's weigh-in. Did 11,500 steps yesterday and on track for today so far. Trend weight is down and this should be my lowest 10 day average so far. Just need to sty focused 2 more days and meet my goal this round. 2/10 of a pound away from my goal this round!
06/20 - 147.3 absolutely no reason for the gain and I am kind of frustrated. I really thought I was going to meet my goal today, but obviously I did not. With 1 more day in this round I am going to stay focused and get back down for tomorrows final weigh-in hopefully. I just barely made my goal of 10,000 steps yesterday, so I have completed 3 days in a row with my step goal.
06/21 - 148.0 did it to myself. I was so excited to see that 145 yesterday and then when I didn't I kind of threw the whole day out the window. Had 2 slices of pizza (NY style) and a chocolate chip cookie for dinner with a couple of drinks. I'm back in the game today and done feeling sorry for myself. Wins this round are 1) I did see a new low of 146.1 not what I wanted to see,but it's a new low. 2) lowest 10 day and 5 day average I have had 3) did not go over 148.9 at anytime this round. Failed on reaching my steps goal everyday, but going to try again next round and failed reaching 145 but will try that again next round to.8 -

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!
06/16 134.4 I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'm losing too quickly?! Over 5 lbs in 4 days.
06/17 135.8 Good, I feel like this is evening out. I want to drop real fat, not water, and I know it's impossible to lose pure fat so quickly. That said, I feel way smaller. I really need to take measurements at the end of this round. (CARB CYCLE 1)
06/18 135.6 This feels right to me. Yesterday's lower carb day didn't exactly work out (81 g net instead of 50, oops!), but I *needed* some extra chocolate at the end of the day, so whatevs. (MOVEMENT 1)
06/19 135.6 Hmmm, I keep forgetting my "plan" to have a few lower carb days and higher movement days- yesterday was 3200 steps (a ton for my super sedentary self) and 48 g net carbs, though. But why am I even doing this plateau-buster when I'm having a whoosh week (I made it up, so don't quote me on this so-called plateau-busting strategy)? Despite losing about 5 lbs in this round with a couple days left to go, I am really second-guessing everything because it feels so unpredictable. WHY DOES WEIGHT LOSS HAVE TO BE SUCH A MIND GAME?! (CARB CYCLE 2, MOVEMENT 2)
06/20 134.2 Yesterday was 110 carbs and only 1609 steps soooo obviously not sticking to the plan I created exactly. I think I'll scrap it and try again if/when I plateau. After such a whoosh week, I don't expect to lose much next round!
06/21 134.2 Yay!!! I gained last round but way exceeded my goals this round. I'm proud. I have lost 23.6 lbs since I joined this challenge, and that's been with one true emotional eating binge day (which set me back a full week!), a weeklong vacation where I ate at maintenance calories, a month of strict keto (20 grams net carbs daily), and several holidays plus my birthday.
Constants in my success so far for those of you following along: daily 16-hour fasts (I only eat noon-8 p.m.), logging everything daily, weighing daily, 1200 calories just about always (I'm sadly quite sedentary and can't earn any more than that). Basically zero exercise throughout all ten rounds. I'm now working on my last 10 lbs, see you next round! This WORKS, guys! Stay with it!

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.
06/16 - 140.4 lbs: barely ate yesterday and worked out a ton. Not sure why the scale went up except TOM "might" be around the corner. It's not a sure thing anymore but I do have a pimple on my chin - a sure sign...
06/17 - 140.2 lbs: glad to see this is moving in the right direction. Played another 3 hours in the sun yesterday and tried to make good food choices but it was Father's Day and we had a few splurges - eggplant parmesan, yum! That's ok, back on track this morning.
06/18 - 139.2 lbs: ate really well yesterday, hard to do when I don't work out. It is TOM, feeling bloated. Going to run around a bunch today, I'm sure that'll help.
06/19 - 138.4 lbs: played a couple hours of p-ball yesterday and kept on track with healthy eating. Glad the scale came back down. Still 1.4 lbs to go to meet the round goal, probably not going to make it but that's ok. Really eye opening to weigh and check in every day and see the ups and downs.
06/20 - 136.8lbs: very busy day yesterday, didn't have much time to eat. Taught a pickleball class, then went straight to our HOA board meeting. Didn't get home til after 9pm, too late to eat much. Happy with the weight, wary about whether or not it'll stick. But, I met the round goal!
06/21 - 137.4lbs: expected to go up a little bit and pretty happy with this round ending number overall. Was aiming high with a round goal loss of 2.6 lbs and actual round loss was 2.2lbs. Not bad!! Again, thank you for setting up these challenges, I think it really helped me stay on track!8 -

@nikki062181 Happy birthday!!
@shunggie You said “after I got ready” - what did that entail? Coffee or tea? Getting dressed? Those things could easily add .5#.
Here is my big question-
Why do people get on and off the scale several times? I’ve noticed that many on here do that. I say, “Get on, get off, note the weight mentally or however, and move on!”
@1991court I’m so excited for you! Sending a virtual {{{{hug}}}}
@shop_girl I knew it would happen! Don’t be discouraged if you bounce back and forth! Whoo hoo!3 -
@tinabambina29 You lost 2.5# from R79d10 to R80d1 where do you count that? I would say you lost 2.9 this round.3

I failed to post my stats yesterday because I got sidetracked by life. The same thing happened this morning as we made an early morning run to drop friends at the airport. I have finally caught up on the messages! I shall abbreviate my normal daily post!

6/20 122.5 Yesterday I had the salad with leftover steak and homemade blue cheese dressing for lunch. A piece of Keto pound cake with strawberries and whipped cream when I got home around 1:30. I didn’t eat at bingo, did have the adult beverage I took for myself and a can of Diet Coke. No LNS.
6/21 124.0 Late dinner last night. The beginning of my third year of daily posts on JGM10!
See you all tomorrow in Round 81!

@quiltingjaine
Thank you, and congrats on the beginning of your 3rd year!
@deepwoodslady Thank you so much!3 -
@quiltingjaine Have to say I'm one of those who steps on and off the scale several times....I guess it's because it's a digital scale and does sometimes give different weights. So I check if it seems too low or too high. Of course, if it seems to high, it will give me the same result or higher! And if it seems too low, it will oblige me by immediately popping up to a higher number! So disbelief, maybe....and stupidity (for me)! lol5

OSW 199 (June 15 2018)
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!!

MINI GOALS
1/31 149 -- (149 first time on 1/30...but bouncing Goal Met 2/3! )
2/28 145 -- Healthy BMI...I believe. But some of the calculators say 140 or 143 Goal Met 3/4! )
3/15 141.5 (0.5 lbs below my weight watchers lifetime member weight, pretty much haven't weighed this, since I achieved lifetime status 11 years ago! )
3/31 141 Goal Met 4/1!
4/30 137 Goal Met 6/12!
5/31 135 Saw this number first time 6/7, again 6/12....now to make it stick!
6/30 133
7/31 131 -- Final goal weight (Maintain 128-133)
Goals--
Carbs < 40-
Steps/day > 12000
Exercise/walk 6 of 7 days/week
CW 137.5 (This was an up bounce....so I'm going for a more agressive loss)
RGW < 135
Day/Weight/Comment
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.
06/16 134.5 Yes. Yesterday's bump up is gone! Did zumba, and gardening yesterday. Ate well!
06/17 136.5 Ate over yesterday, but only by about 500 calories, X so not going to freak out. No gym, short walk. About 9000 steps.
06/18 136 Jury duty yesterday. Managed to get steps in by walking from my husband's work to the courthouse and back. Did not get picked for the panel, but I'm ok with that as it was for a pain&suffering civil suit. Besides, it's nice to be done. Glad I came down a bit. But striving for that 134 again! Probably need to leave that leftover coffee cake alone and choose either ice cream OR brownie, not both!
06/19 136.5 Blah. Was good yesterday. Water zumba, swam 1500 yards, walked 4 miles. Sad that the scale was not friendly. But. As I said before....bouncing.
06/20 135 Better. Did zumba and walked. Ate well.
06/21 136 Burned lots of calories yesterday--long walk, zumba and several hours of cleaning house in prep for a surprise stopover by long time friends passing through. Wasn't hungry, so only ate dinner and then a few snacks and a glass of wine...but the snacks were at 11 and I went to bed at 1. I'm thinking this was mostly just because of the late night and I'll get to start next round with an immediate loss. Still a 1.5 loss for the round...6 pounds to go!

06/17: 143.0 First weigh in after 6 days of vacation. Really pleased to see weight drop from the end of round 79, even though we were eating out everyday for all meals and exercise limited to walking on beach and in town! Felt comfortable wearing a bathing suit for the first time in a couple of years. Tried to make healthy meal choices (lots of salads and fresh seafood), but did enjoy the fresh linguine with shrimp scampi with a bread stick as a cheat day the other night! Also I had entered in a MFP 5-week prediction for Monday, which predicted 146, and I am 3 pounds below that goal! (not sure how they make the prediction, but more conservative than Pacer's predictions, so will enjoy the mini-success!). Back to the gym this morning to expend the saved up energy form last week - step aerobics and weight machines for legs; stayed on for the spin class so lots of cardio today!
06/18: 142.5 Wonderful to see a half pound drop! Since tracking I often find that I actually gain after doing a heavy leg workout, plus we had a duck bolognese sauce with penne and smoked mozzarella for dinner with wine so was afraid that I might have more water retention today. (Calories were all within limits, but actually lower on protein for the day). I had decreased the weights on the leg press since I had been out for a week and also wanted to try to tweak the settings to see if changing the angles would help lead to a better position as I do want to avoid putting to much stress on my knees. Felt fine this morning, so think the lower weight likely helped with avoiding the water retention gain! Today was upper body weights, a latin dance class that is just not working for getting my heart rate up, so may need to explore another option, and then yoga which helped with stretching after the weights. Still need to get some ab work in as I have skipped that the last several days... Salmon poke bowl for lunch (guesstimating calories) and probably will cook out veggie burgers on the Green Egg (Beyond Meat) for dinner with a salad. Slowly coming to grips with fact that I can have pasta and bread and successfully lose weight - loving it!
06/19: 142.9 slight bump up. total calories right at limit, but went over on fat and under on carbs/protein (about split). Was craving salt and finished the last bit of tortilla trips from our trip, but at least they are no longer around to tempt me so will be good the rest of the week! Expect the bump will even out, but not sure I'll make the 10 day goal of losing 2 pounds. Today was a cardio class, weight machines for legs, and then spin class so felt like I had a pretty good work out! My pet peeve at the gym - a man spent the entire time chatting to a friend, while I worked through 4 sets of 12 reps on 4 machines with rests between sets - finally I asked him if I could use the machine to finish my workout as there was only one machine of that type. His reply was "well if no one asks ..." - like it is OK to just park there and gab away! (sorry just had to rant!)
06/20: 142.8 or 141.4 Well weight first thing this morning was 142.8 so at least a tiny drop, which was nice given that yesterday was heavy weight training on leg, plus definitely ate full calorie budget (seared duck breast, burrata and tomato salad with olive oil/balsamic vinegar and greens, plus part of a sweet potato. went over on fat, but fewer carbs and OK on protein. Gym routine was strength training (light weights)/flexibility and step, plus 4 spin intervals for about 30 minutes total. Decided to weigh after I got back and weight was either 141.2 or 141.8 (did not record right away :-) which was great, but likely loss of water. Normally don't weigh in multiple times, but decided to weigh one more time before dinner and weight was 141.4!!!! Hoping that I can keep that for tomorrow and make my 2 pound goal for this round. Challenge will be that we are going to my favorite pizza place for dinner (wonderful thin crust pizza wood fired oven), so will make sure I order a large salad and limit the amount of pizza (a treat!) (may take some pysillium with water now to "fill up" so that I slow down!
06/21: 140.6 Wow!!!! I had to weigh twice to check! Definitely a whoosh, so will not be surprised if weight is higher tomorrow but hey that is the start to a new 10 day challenge! Limited the amount of pizza last night to two slices of pizza (well plus some of the crusts my daughter did not eat) and had a kale, parmesan, chili pepper salad plus shared a bottle of red wine - but a drop of this size was unexpected! Latin dance class this morning (really got heart rate up in the peak zone with different instructor), upper body weight machines, and then 40 minutes of spin class. Great day so far!
Round 77: 147.8
Round 78: 146.1 (1.7 loss)
Round 79: 143.4 (2.7 loss)
Round 80: 140.6 (2.8 loss)7 -
@quiltingjaine I use my scales just like you (by chance). I line them up in the EXACT spot every day. I only get on them once, then back off again & record. I weigh first thing, after I pee but before coffee (sorry for the TMI). However, I do weigh with my nightgown on which can differ from one day to the next. I tried checking my weight several times a very long time ago & it always stayed exactly the same, no matter how hard I wished or prayed so I think my scale is pretty accurate & consistent so why weigh more than once? Sometimes I go the TMI bathroom later, but I don't reweigh as I've already had coffee. If my scales were fluctuating so much, I would buy new scales. I don't see any reason why the scales would change in a matter of moments without any changes. Bottom line: I look at it like this, if it was wrongly up a touch, I'll be very happy tomorrow when it shows my true lower weight, if it was falsely down, then goes up tomorrow (to an accurate weight), it just gives me more reason to try harder & stick to plan. Best advice to all: Invest in a decent scale & keep the batteries fresh. Change them if it starts acting up too much. Until then, once is enough for me too!3
