06/22 247 lbs trying to restart Keto with sister
06/23 245.8 lbs mostly water, but drinking a lot of fluids to flush the body. Calories still at the 2100 top end. Goal is to get in 10000 steps per day again.
06/24 244.8 lbs Drinking plenty of water so I am not dehydrating. Did a morning walk for 1.5 mile in the morning. Took a nice hike with my son on a local “hill” after work. Nice vertical and plateau.
06/25 243 was able to get a 60 minute walk in on the treadmill. Went 3 miles with inclines. Whatever will help prep the hike. Doing another tomorrow if all goes well.
06/26 242.6. Ate like a pig at s farmers market. Knew it would not end well. Need to get past the issue wasting food. No problem, back on the horse.
06/27 243.4 lbs
06/28 241.4 lbs Yesterday did another hike for just over 1.5 hours consisting of a lot of hills with my son. It was tougher but easier since the body is waking back up nicely. Still have a ways to go to climb Mt. Washington. I figure I have six weeks to be ready. Will have to take it easy today since I am giving blood. My blood type is always in very high demand. Very happy with my progress! The one thing I have noticed for me is as long as I stay low carb and routine workouts I do well. Carb loading once ever 6-8 days has minimal impact on weight changes. Biggest thing I know for me is to avoid sweets😂

Lots going on this round again. Weekend in Liverpool for another cheerleading competition so lots of fast food outlets, hotel breakfasts and motorway service stations for our 5+ hour car journey each way
Three evening events for the kids inductions for their new schools and college they start in September, daughters Prom week then another cheerleading display show next weekend..... Ill be going to work in between for a rest
But aiming to carry on this round how I ended the last one..........
R81 Start Weight - 137.8lb Target for the round 136 something ....
06/22 - DNW
06/23 - DNW
06/24 - 139.9lb (+2.1lb) Back from the weekends Liverpool cheer competition so totally expected gain given the usual lack of decent remotely healthy food at comp and late night eating at the motorway service station Did try my best and my overall calories weren't too bad - I know alot of this is just the water retention from the increased fast food salt intake and reduced water. On the plus side the gain hasn't taken me back over 140.
"Gain" will take a few days to come off again as it usually does. Daughters prom on Thursday so will have a glass or two of fizz that night but other than that the rest of the round is clear so still aiming for a 136 finish
06/25 - 138.8lb (-1.1lb) Whoosh! That's half of it gone - now to work on the rest! No gym tonight as at my daughters new college for an induction evening but good food planned for the day and will try and get out for a walk from work at lunchtime.
06/26 - 138.2 (-0.6lb) Bit more gone.... 0.4lb to get back to pre-weekend weigh in then start on the proper downward path to get to round target. Good food day today planned and pre-logged so no excuses
May be a bit tough though as was awake at 2am this morning for no reason and struggled to get back to sleep. In fact my sleep recently has been awful - my husband always used to say I didn't sleep I went into a nightly coma I slept so well, but the last few months this hasn't been the case. Guessing I have so much going on at the moment and have no "down" time - or is this a peri-thing which I think has started as TOM all a bit erratic these days.
Roll on my holiday......
06/27 - 137.5lb (-0.7lb) Weekend gone plus a bit so down 0.3lb since the start of the round with 0.5lb to go to meet my round target. Very happy with that! Will be careful tonight - daughters prom tonight so will be drinks around this evening which I have factored into my days allowance but these things don't usually show favourably on the scales next day. But we'll see - just intend to have a lovely day with my daughter getting ready - eyelashes, hair, make up, nails, then pre-prom drinks with the girls and friends and family
06/28 - 136.5lb (-1.0lb) Not sure this is real as ' eat dinner last night. By the time we had had pre-prom drinks then watched the girls arrive and then got home afterwards I couldn't be bothered! So I'll take it for today, would love it to stay here but wont be disheartened if it goes up tomorrow. Still on a high from last night - my daughter looked beautiful

My first round.
SW: 200
GW: 175
This round I would like to lose 5lbs. Might seem like a lot for 7 days....
6/24: 200lbs I really want active yesterday. I stayed away from carbs so that is a plus. But I ate a lot of whoppers candy and 2 pieces of key lime pie. 😭😭Another positive I downed 1 gallons of water.
6/25 198.4 lbs today I will stay away from junk food.
6/26 198.2 lbs
6/27 196.2 lbs not sure how that happened. I totally ate fast food of shame yesterday. But I only had about 1/2 gallon of water.
6/28 196.8 lbs a little gain not to sad about it. Today I think I will exercise for a good minutes. Maybe the scale will love me tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment
06/22 - 191.7 - I'm happy to see this number but definitely surprised. I started IF last week, and I really feel like that helps me. Mostly bc I'm a snacker, so the later I start eating the less time I have to graze. Hopefully, this downward trend will continue!
06/23 - 192.4 - I’m not surprised by the gain. I had a bit too much wine last night, too many carbs and not enough water. I have a short run planned for today. IF is going to be tough today bc I drank that wine at 9, but I’m going to give it my best!
06/24 - 193.3
06/25 - 196.6 - (Yikes!)
06/26 - 194.6
06/27 - 193 - This round has been a roller coaster for me. A lot of the weight gain is water (TOM + lifting) so my goal for today is to complete my training run and drink 100 oz of water.

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.

06/24 – 143 – Our weekend was so busy I didn’t get a chance to post although I weighed both days. We visited a local winery Saturday night and I ate a lot of snack foods that I usually avoid. Back on track for the work week.
06/25 – 142 – OK!
06/26 – 141 – I’ll be happy if I can stick around this weight for the rest of the week.
06/27 – 142.5 – Not real surprised. I’ve noticed that when I start trending down in my maintenance weight, I start getting a little loose with my calorie counting. That’s why I’m here. I need to watch a little closer the next couple days so the weekend and the picnics next week don’t throw me above maintenance.
06/28 – 142 – I was very mindful of my eating yesterday and I’m preparing for the weekend. I need to do better drinking my water.

@mamarh - Thank you! My weight certainly didn't drop quickly, but it was fairly steady. These daily weigh ins are what kept me on track, along with all the support and inspiration from this group. That's why I'm still here for maintenance. If I weren't posting here, I probably would have gained back 10 pounds by now.5

Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW 177.1 lbs
LTG: 110.0 lbs
STG: 139.8 lbs (just like the idea of being below 140, but not as close as 139.9 but will take that too just to get below 140 :-)
MTG: 123.4 lbs Leave Overweight category and get into Healthy BMI range
Goal for 10 day Challenge - lose 2 pounds (138.9)
Day/Weight/Comment
06/22: 140.9 Up 0.3 pounds from yesterday; but not unexpected as weight dropped 2.2 pounds from the day before (serious whoosh, so usually see a bump up until it settles over a couple of days). Had 1 hour step class this morning and really pushed it - burned 388 calories in the hour (ok that is a lot for me!) and had heart rate in peak zone for 54% of the class! Some weights and other functional training then back home. Lazy afternoon with some weeding in the garden until the ants and mosquitoes drove me in! Big dinner - grilled swordfish with olive tapenade/tomato sauce, saffron rice & black beans and fresh greens from farmers market, although within calorie budget. Still feel like I am retaining water (extra exercise?) so curious what weight will be tomorrow. I do need to figure a better way to distribute calories more through out the day, but dinner is my favorite meal of the day and so far do not have time to cook dinner foods for breakfast or have gotten leftover portions quite right.
06/23: 140.3 Yeah!!! dropped down below round 80 ending weight! Today is my official "rest day", but may still try to get in 30-45 minutes of walking or light elliptical for some cardio and probably some stretching or yoga as legs feel tight after yesterdays workout. Slept in today so probably going to have just two main meals (brunch/dinner) and snacks. Dinner tonight is grilled bigeye tuna with fresh mango salsa!
06/24: 139.7 Wow rest days rock!!! Made my short term goal to get below 140 !!! Not sure if I will make round goal of losing 2 pounds as will not be able to weigh in after Thursday but at least a great start! Did step class this morning, but could not stay for spin or weights, so went back in for spin class in evening. No weights today due to crazy schedule so will start tomorrow. Cavatappi with duck bolognese and smoked mozzarella for dinner - satisfied my love for pasta, but still within calorie limit! Hope the higher carbs do not create a bump! Apple Watch is suggesting that my resting metabolic rate is dropping (as expected due to weight loss) so either need to 1) up exercise; 2) decrease calories consumed; or 3) adjust to idea of slower weight loss going forward (so far I have been doing more of (1). Currently calories consumed are close to what I would eat at goal weight for maintenance with modest activity, so really think best options are 1 or 3. (next week it is going to have to be 3 :-) due to travel!
06/25: 140.2 Well not completely unexpected as typically see a big drop and then a bump up. Overall downward trend shows that I am still on track. I don;t expect a drop tomorrow as today was heavy leg weights (usually see a bump up after that) Exercise was good today (latin dance, weights (legs) and yoga, so expect this will even out in a day or two! Tomorrow is BodPod day. Gymaholic thinks my body fat is around 36% based on neck, waist and hip measurements (with height) so interested in what results will be! (hoping that with the weight training it is lower!!!)
06/26: 139.8 Yeah!!! Back to short term goal of being below 140!!! BodPod analysis came back 40% body fat at current weight (still have 30 pounds to lose) but the goal is to keep up the weight training with cardio so that body fat percentage is lower (predicted to be 25% at goal weight of 110, but would be 30% with just cardio! The staff person doing the test did indicate that my body fat and BMI were tracking together, so that basing weight goals on BMI would be useful for indicating healthy weight based on % fat. This also provided an estimate of resting metabolic rate of 1100 calories and average non-exercise rate of 1350; currently I am targeting 1400 calories a day so if that is accurate, all of the deficit for weight loss is coming from exercise. May repeat the BodyGem BMR test (should be more accurate) to see if BMR really has changed that much now that I am just below the midpoint of journey. Exercise planned for today: upper body weights and spin class.
06/27: 138.8 Thrilled to see my 10 day goal of losing 2 pounds today. Did not have time to use the elliptical trainer at home, so just going to have to get steps in at the airport. Walked rather than took the train during layover in Atlanta and did laps around the terminal so that I could at least get the minimum exercise calories to close all of my rings! Then 8 hour flight to UK. Challenge will be to at least maintain current weight over the next 6 days while out of the country. Last international trip in March I ended up gaining weight (too much beer and bar snacks and limited walking) so will be more careful this time! There is supposed to be university gym access through the conference so did bring some workout clothes and hope to get in more exercise than just walking. Although not an early morning person at home, might be a great way to spend time if I do have jet lag!

I stopped tracking during most of the last round. There ended up being a lot of unanticipated social events, my TOM arrived, and I also spent a lot of time simply relaxing for the first few days of summer vacation.
I'd like to workout each day and not neglect my water intake. My past rounds show when I'm diligent and focused I can expect results. I expect to be one pound lighter by the end of the challenge.

06/23 DNW Tidied the house, walked downtown, took the dog for a walk around the neighborhood, and planned exercise and meals for the week.
06/24 DNW I got an oil change, grocery shopped, cleaned my living room, mowed the front yard, and did an exercise DVD today. I made sure to drink my water and I cooked all of my meals. Busy and productive!
06/25 DNW I'll weigh-in again tomorrow morning. I wanted to give my body some time to recover from my poor food and exercise choices last week and I wasn't ready to face the number on the scale. I purchased a 10 lb kettle bell today and have done a 15 minute workout. It's fun and different at the moment and I'm excited to add it to my workout rotation. I also got an air fryer and I made some delicious salmon in it for lunch. It's a little small, but I hardly ever have to cook for more than the two of us. I'm planning on making air fried chicken thighs for dinner. I've had a can of seltzer with lunch, I have a full 15 oz water bottle to get through, and then I'll be drinking water with dinner. No beer for me until I get at least 45 oz of water!
06/26 181.8 lb The air fryer was a such a fun purchase! I made salmon and chicken yesterday and will make breaded pork cutlets tomorrow. I love how it cooks the food without heating up the house. The kettlebell was also really effective. My muscles are pleasantly sore in my legs, core, and arms. 😀 I'm planning on cleaning my basement, installing a dartboard, and giving my dog a long walk today and I'll be going to trivia tonight with my family.
06/27 181.8 lb We won trivia last night! I love going out because it reminds me about all of the things I don't know and it shows off the knowledge my family members have. My mother is fantastic at presidential trivia and my fiance is scarily good at pop culture questions. I'm getting my car fixed at the moment, then I'm going to spend the afternoon at my mother's house and tonight I'll be watching Rocket Man at the movie theater.
06/28 183.0 lb My car still needs repairs because it's a fussy Fiat and needs to go to a Fiat dealer and we missed the movie due to traffic on my fiance's commute home. Oh well. I tracked 14,783 steps and had 36 oz of water. I also did a kettlebell and a rebounder workout I found on Youtube. I had a good NSV this morning. There was a great clearance sale at a somewhat expensive clothing store I stumbled across yesterday. I picked up a pair of size 12 dress pants to wear in the 4th of July parade next week and they fit great! I was in a size 16 when I refocused on my fitness in March! 😁

Day/Weight/Comment
06/22 DNW – Last day of vacation
06/23 DNW – Travel day
06/24 197.0 – (+1.6 from my last weigh-in on 5/29)
06/25 197.0 – Okay, not too bad for 3 ½ weeks of vacation meals and treats. Giving myself a few more days to adjust to the 6-hour time change, restock the fridge, and get back on track with logging and exercise.
06/26 195.8 – Almost back to my pre-vacation weight (after correcting yesterday’s typo), but I’m thinking this morning’s drop is probably a water adjustment now that I’m fixing most of my own meals again. Still struggling with jet lag. The heat and humidity aren’t helping, so I haven’t been walking, but I’m (loosely) logging what I eat and getting enough water.
06/27 194.8 – A new low on this weight loss journey, so I’m feeling good about maintaining during my long vacation. Three months of MFP “training” before my trip helped me make good choices without feeling deprived. I also did a LOT of walking most days. I’m pretty much back on track with logging and eating at a deficit, but I need to ramp up my exercise again.
06/28 193.6 – Surprised to see another drop, but I’m assuming it’s water-related. Spent yesterday at the beach with my grandkids and got my workout in the rough surf. The water was glorious, but the sun was intense! Had a few salty snacks and did my best to stay hydrated, but this morning’s lower weight suggests I should have upped my water intake even more. I’ve got my calories set for a pound-a-week loss (currently 1580 calories), but most days this week I’ve gone over by 200-300. I’m okay with slower weight loss this summer, but I don’t want to reset my MFP goals. For now, it helps me to think of the calorie goal as a target to aim for rather than a strict limit. I’ll keep an eye on the numbers, but I won’t stress if I don’t hit the bullseye everyday.

@nikki062181 This 38-year-old just finished up round 80 with a 4.2lb loss. Yay!!!! I met my goal but barely the last 10 days. Here is to meeting it again in this 10 days. I was 17lbs from my goal weight and have since gained 17 additional pounds. I'd like to at least lose those 17 lbs before I have to start teaching again. I've had it hard the last year. My MIL, who I consider my Mom, passed away from a long battle with lung cancer. My Grandpa passed away 8 months later. I graduated from college while being married and having 3 kiddos, and completed my first year in the classroom last year. I also found out that my middle child is battling multiple mental illnesses, which were triggered by the loss of his Grandma. I had to take a step away from my weight loss journey. My family needed me, but I need to be healthy too. So, here I am...going for it again.
GOALS FOR THE WEEK!
First step: Continue to track calories
Second step: Continue to measure my portions
Third step: Continue to cut out carbonated beverages
Fourth step: Continue to cut out too many sweets
5th step: Push water!!!!
6th step: Take my B12 supplement daily at lunch because I have a deficiency
7th step: Walk 15 minutes a day at minimum and do arm exercises starting on Monday for this goal.
OSW: 232 lbs
CSW: 154.8 lbs
CGW: 150 - 151
UGW: 125 lbs
Here is to wishing we can all achieve our goal! 🙏
6/22: 154.8 I ate a very healthy, high protein lunch yesterday, so I could have pancakes, hashbrowns, and a flurry for my birthday treat. I am so glad I did because I did not want to wake up and regret my weight gain this morning. I had almost forgotten to take my B12 also, so I ended up taking that one late. I'm very inconsistent with the time I weigh myself too. When I head back into work in August, times will finally be consistent. Until then, I want to enjoy when I get up...whenever that is.
6/23: 154.2 My son begged me not to make anything healthy because his gf came over last night, and he didn't want to be embarrassed. My husband asked me to eat whatever I wanted when I ordered carryout from this pizza joint. I knew I had treated myself already because of my birthday on Friday. So, I had a salad with extra protein and some breadsticks. It paid off. 😁
6/24: 153.8 I have really been enjoying these smoothies for breakfast. They're quite yummy. Since I have life threatening food allergies, I have to be creative when making some things. So, I cannot use a lot of fruit or fillers like most are able to. However, the ones I've been having are quite refreshing.
6/25: 152.6 A NEW LOW for many months! I did not do well on the water intake. I did complete my first day of exercise on the 30 day challenge. I changed it from arm to full body. Since it finally did not rain either, I went biking for a half hour too.
6/26: 152.4 I struggled yesterday. I was not feeling well at all. I didn't eat or drink well. I did complete my full body workout though. I remember why I cannot stand squats.
6/27: 154.4 🤔 Maybe because I ate later or did not drink enough? 🤷♀️
6/28: 153.8 Back down to where I was 4 days ago. I feel like a yo-yo. I have a feeling I will not meet my goal this round, so I'm hoping that I at least lose some weight.16 -

Phooey! But ok, I did over-indulge on Saturday - emotional/frustration eating. Major problems with the so-called landscaper we hired to dig out new beds -- aside from never showing up when he promises and then working an hour or less per day, he dumped a load of clay fill into our beds instead of garden soil. Aaaggghhh! I'm so frustrated - I have perennials & annuals sitting in pots as I expected to have them in the ground 2 weeks ago. So I ate chocolate and other junk to comfort myself, which of course it did not. What did help was when I decided take back control, so I bought myself a small electric tiller and some cheap planters to hold the plants until the beds are actually ready, and I planted the annuals in my existing front-yard beds. They'll be crowded, but that's ok, they're in the ground and can be moved later. I HATE depending on unreliable people, and this guy takes the cake. Anyway, I know part of this bump up is water because I had way too much sodium, and I'm taking back control of my emotions and food as well as my garden. So there!
(Sorry for the off-topic rant, but really it's not since most of us are familiar with eating in the face of frustration, and the post-bad-eating recriminations.)
6/25 - 160.4
I behaved myself yesterday and have my eating plan in place for today. All good. I moved my bigger perennials into bigger pots and put all the annuals intended for new beds into my existing beds so they're not in the tiny pots. I may start tilling a new space today. Not a peep from the so-called landscaper. Grrrr.
6/26 - 159
I won't hold my breath, but supposedly the "landscaper" will be here today to take back the clay he dumped in my flower beds, and then we're done and I can do the rest myself. I have all sorts of yard projects planned for after I get my plants in the ground, so yay summer! I also have an one-person art show opening Sunday, so I have to get my paintings organized today to hang tomorrow. And Friday a friend is dividing some perennials to give me more to plant. And Greek Fest runs tomorrow through Sunday -- always a wonderful event with GREAT food, mostly not too off-diet (except baklava). So I'm off for a nice walk now, then the paintings, then....Busy week! Have a lovely!
6/27 - 158.4
We fired the "landscaper" -- I feel SO much better. Ordering soil today and I'll do the rest myself. Big beds -- the whole back of the house other than patio + one side of the backyard + back of backyard. I can't wait to dig in the dirt -- and aside from the pleasure I get from playing with plants, it's great exercise and I don't snack. Yay!
6/28 - 159.6
Pizza.
So sodium. I went over my calorie goal, but barely, and I did a fair amount of work in the garden, so all good.

Ending weight round 80- ???, for mental health reasons stopped weighing at 6/19. Picking this back up on 6/22 hopefully refreshed and ready to work!
UGW - somewhere in the mid-130's.
Goal for round 81 - FOCUS! Weight loss was great, then stalled a bit due to some stress and insomnia. Took a little break from the challenge in order to free up some brain space. I believe physical health follows mental health and I must be in the right mind space in order to track food intake.
6/22 - 140.9. Not as much damage as I expected after taking a few days off. Traveling today/tomorrow with extended family so no scale. When I get home tomorrow night I’m going to grocery shop and meal plan for the week and do my best to hit a deficit the last 8 days of the challenge.
6/23 - traveling no scale
6/24 - 142.0. Knew I had to face the music. This weekend consisted of fried salty food, cake, and not as much physical activity. Add in my TOM due tomorrow and that I haven’t “gone” in a couple of days due to travel, and I’m not surprised at all. I’m unhappy with the choices I made, but they are done and it’s time to move on. I’ve committed to movement every day and tracking my food to stay in a deficit each day the rest of this challenge. My husband is on board too after this weekend!
6/25 - 140.9. There goes some of the bloat from the weekend salty foods. Wins yesterday: hydrated very well, 30 min on elliptical, 30 min walk, in a caloric deficit, slept well. Ready for another good day.
6/26 - 140.4. Pleasantly surprised as my TOM hit and it’s brutal (sorry for the TMI). I have cramps, I’m super irritable and I’m hungry all the time. I gave it to the cravings yesterday quite a bit too. Won’t be surprised if it goes up again when that catches up to me but happy for the drop today. Wins yesterday: HIIT class, 2.75 mile walk, good water intake. Today I need to focus on diverting my attention from the binge cravings.
6/27 - 139.6. Shocked it went down, I thought it would be up. I feel so heavy and gross this week (thanks, TOM). And I've been so hungry. I did better yesterday with managing that - deciphering if I was truly hungry or just stressed - and I was truly hungry so I ate. Wins yesterday: 4 mile run, 4 mile walk. Hydrated well. Listened to hunger cues. We will see if the scale stays low or if this extra food catches up with me at some point.
6/28 - 140.4. Rough round. All my fault though. Gave in to the binge cravings yesterday. Wins: RPM class, hydrated well. Other than that, I ate way too much and was way too sedentary outside of my gym workout.

I really like seeing this number go down, and (checking in mentally) I don't feel like I'm obsessed with "dieting" either. I do feel like MFP under estimated the calories I can eat, though. I put in a very conservative goal of losing .5 pounds a week, but I'm losing way more than that. I just really want the weight loss to stick this time. I think I'm going to up my calories to 1900 instead of 1700. I can always adjust down if I need to, but I'm not in a hurry to get to a goal weight. This is my life, so if I can eat dessert everyday and be at a weight I'm happy with too, why wouldn't I?!15 -

Day/Weight/Comment
06/22 145.0 ate very late last night so not surprised with the slight uptick. Meals planned for today so should be a good day food wise
06/23 145.5 didn’t drink enough water yesterday and had takeout Indian food so will be upping my water intake today
06/24 144.8 back down a bit, and happy didn’t gain much over the weekend. Friday’s are usually my lightest weight day so not surprised that haven’t seen round 80s end weight yet, but hope to be back there by mid week.
06/25 144.5 pretty typical Tuesday and finally slept 7 hours straight during the night (been waking up at 3am-4am the last week for an hourish).
06/26 144.2 ate very well yesterday and worked out so was hoping for more of a loss, but this is pretty consistent to with some of the weeks after a big loss that I lose at a slower pace. I am back to where I was at the end of round 80.
06/27 143.8 lowest weight I’ve seen, but only a .2 lb loss from last week so still a bit discouraged. Today’s another opportunity to continue sticking to the plan and hopefully a larger loss will come later in this round or next round.
06/28 144.0 going to try to do 120 oz of water today. I keep waking up thirsty so maybe 70 oz isn’t enough in the warmer weather.12 -

6/26 – NW
6/27 – 172.8 All one can do is move forward, learn from past mistakes and manage each day with a sense of newness and opportunity to change the course of action. This is what I tell myself when I see the numbers go up instead of down. Thanks for showing me daily it all can be reality.
