Day/Weight/Comment
06/11 …..197.7….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

06/22 …..197.4 ….. A great day for me yesterday. Yesterday’s stats: 1300 Calories In / 3211 Calories Out. 18 Net Carbs. 21,607 Total Steps & 9.14 Total Miles. Lots of work activity. Planned exercise was 104 minutes of yardwork, 60 minutes of heavy cleaning & 32 minutes of Dancing. Sample song (I’ve used this one before) was “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder.

06/23 …..196.4 ….. Yesterdays stats: 1397 Calories In / 2391 Calories Out. 19 Net Carbs. 10,305 Total Steps & 4.36 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 9 minutes. More paperwork yesterday & less activity. I did manage to get in a 15 minute dance workout. Sample song “Sweet Emotion” by Aerosmith. .

06/24 …..196.4 ….. I’m the Exact…. Same…. Weight… as yesterday & a little disappointed after burning so many calories & having so many steps & miles. However, I know weight loss isn’t linear so I will keep the faith (and patience). Yesterday’s stats: 1392 Calories In / 3279 Calories Out. 11 Net Carbs. 20,180 Total Steps & 8.54 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Steps Hours & I slept 4 hours & 54 minutes

06/25 …..196.6 …..

Yesterday’s stats: 1181 Calories In / 2407 Calories Out. 28 Net Carbs. 10,292 Total Steps & 4.36 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 7 minutes and I awoke a bit tired.

06/26 …..196.6 ….. Yesterdays stats: 1153 Calories In / 2653 Calories Out. 15 Net Carbs. 13,346 Total Steps & 5.65 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 4 hours & 48 minutes. I walked 27 minutes at moderate pace as a planned exercise.

06/27 …..196.4 ….. Yesterdays stats: 1393 Calories In / 3070 Calories Out. 15 Net Carbs. 19,354 Total Steps & 8.25 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours (I have no idea how I missed one!) I slept 3 hours & 28 minutes but woke up feeling refreshed. I know I’ll be tired later. I did some steady & vigorous (at times) cabin cleaning for 152 minutes. I fit in a dance set with just 3 songs for 13 minutes. Sample song “Sharp Dressed Man” by ZZ Top[

06/28 …..196.4 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1671 Calories In / 2930 Calories Out. 17,324 Total Steps & 7.33 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 17 minutes & woke up feeling great. I cleaned cabins yesterday for 93 minutes which is labor intensive & involves a lot of steps. I also took a planned 21 minute walk earlier in the day. Have a great weekend everyone!

06/29 …..196.8 ….. A perfect low carb day until……..10:00 PM when I made a late dinner for my son of tacos. I was hungry & couldn’t resist . I had two with cheese & sour cream. The meat, cheese & SC was carb friendly but the shells were 15 carbs each! I thought about having the filling without the shells but it was those crunchy shells I couldn’t resist so that explains the scale. Yesterdays stats: 2188 Calories In / 2644 Calories Out. 49 Net Carbs. 12,559 Total Steps & 5.31 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 33 minutes Wow!. I did 100 minutes of vigorous cleaning & 26 minutes of dance. Sample song “Shakin’ “ by Eddie Money.

06/30 …..196.0 ….. Finally a whoosh I’ve been waiting for! I had leftover taco meat so I got smart for a change. I picked up a two-pack of the over-sized portabella mushroom caps, scraped them out a bit & filled them with a very tiny cushion of cream cheese (because I was a touch short on meat). I then layered in the meat, the shredded cheese, a bit of taco sauce to brighten & a dollop of sour cream. Under 10 carbs for both & delicious. I did get a little hungry later but had a friendly keto snack & had a great night! Yesterday’s stats: 1285 Calories In / 2653 Calories Out. 25 Net Carbs. 13,636 Total Steps & 5.77 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 27 minutes. I didn't get in any dancing but I've noticed if I don't do it early I'm too tired after the motel & cabin work which usually ends about 10:00 PM. I am almost to my 2 pound goal this round. Pray for me!



07/01 …..xxxxx …..

@kmfeig87 Thanks Trina, I'm proud I resisted the crunchy corn shells this time. Another NSV today was that my daughter dropped off mini hostess donuts in the bag from the out of town outlet store. Not one bite in this mouth! I took the whole bag to brother's next door. My daughter thought me (or my son) might want them, but NEITHER ONE OF US needed them, so out the door & across the yard they went! Donuts are MY ABSOLUTELY WORST WEAKNESS so I'm beaming with pride right now. NO WAY were donuts going to ruin my final weigh-in for this round tomorrow!

You, girl, have been steadily doing fantastic! And with the health conditions, I cannot believe how you are able to persevere! You inspire us all dear girl!

***ROUND 81 (my 11th)***
Day/Weight/Comment
06/22 134.2 Now that I'm down to the last 11 lbs (can't believe I'm finally saying that!), I need to figure out some real maintenance strategies. This is new territory, and I'm afraid of messing it up. From what I've learned from the maintenance forums, the trick is to go slooowly at the end. Hmmm, we'll see. I may reset my MFP goal to 1/2 lb a week when I have only 5 lbs to go, but not yet.
06/23 136.4 Everything was *super* salty yesterday and I didn't get in all my water (woke up this a.m. absolutely parched, which is never a good sign!). I thought it might show up 2 days days later, but here it is already. Because I've been doing this challenge long enough to have some insight into my weigh-ins, I know this isn't fat, and I'm not worried. Plus, after last round's whoosh of almost 6 lbs, I'm okay if the scale adjusts up a bit.

Advice from a maintainer that's good to keep in mind: "A slow, gradual upward creep over weeks is more likely to be fat gain. A big whalloping overnight gain from the middle of my range to/above the top of the range is more likely to be water/digestive contents. If I gain 3 pounds, and I'm pretty sure I didn't eat 10,500 calories above maintenance, I'm going to believe it's water weight/digestive contents, and give it a couple of days* to drop back rather than freaking out about it."
06/24 135.8 Despite my earlier declaration that I wasn't going to start slowing down yet, I got curious yesterday and played with the numbers by adjusting my MFP goal down to only 1/2 lb a week, which gives me almost 200 calories more per day. I've been stuck at only 1200 calories since I started logging in March, so I was excited to see such a "high" number (1390), and I used every calorie for once, plus a few extra. I'm completely sedentary- whatever the level below MFP's "Not Very Active" is, that's me- so none of this 'eat back your exercise calories' stuff for me, and it's a relief to think think I may be able to have a more relaxed calorie range at some point.
06/25 135.8 Well, this may be a maintenance round as I stabilize from the big loss how the bump in calories changes things. The experiment continues
06/26 137 Booooo. My stomach is bloated and I feel like nothing is moving through my system properly, so that may be what's going on, but still, boooooo!
06/27 135.2 Maintaining in the 135s, sorta. Probably the healthiest thing after last round's loss. I'm really making peace with going more slowly because I've lost on average 7 lbs a month for the past 3 months, and I'm on the home stretch. Yes, it's summer, yes, I'm getting in a pool at a resort next week, and it would be awesome to be at goal weight already, but I need to be smart and think long term. Too much, too soon, and I'll lose muscle (and I ain't got much of that to start with!).
06/28 135.2 LOL, big surprise.
06/29 133.8 This is my lowest weight in over a year! I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so it won't last, but at least today, I can say I'm 10 lbs from goal.
06/30 134.8 I knew it wouldn't last, but the real win is that I'm wearing a bathing suit on vacation starting today and I'm feeling good about it!

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

06/29 - 136.6lb (+0.1lb) Ooohh yesterdays loss seems to have stuck around for a bit - hoping it stays a bit longer. Its the weekend so usual temptations including the girls cheerleading gym show later today and then family over for dinner tomorrow visiting from Devon but aiming to finish the round in the 136's .... Have a great weekend everyone

06/30 - DNW
07/01 - 140.4lb (+3.8lb) Not a fair reflection of my round but a fair reflection of Sunday's family get together despite going to the gym Sunday morning for an hour! So only a temporary salt and lack of water "blip" on the scale, just annoying its at the end of the round
Today also sees the start of my 1,000,000 step challenge so will be logging my steps on here each day and tallying up the total so far....... At work for a large part of today so day 1 in itself could be tough to find the time, but guess thats part of the challenge
See you all round 82 .......

R81 Goal: Round 80 was an insightful 3rd round for me. I learned a lot about my body and what causes fluctuations after noticing a trend of gaining weight following the previous day of intense exercise/lifting heavy weights. With this knowledge, I hope I can be kinder to myself and not launch into a chocolate bingeing frenzy when this is the case.
My overall aim for the whole month of June is to still train consistently - with that should come the weight / inch loss.

Yesterday was good until the cramps hit at night and I chose to eat way over my calories. Cramps have hit this morning for good old ⭐ week which resulted in vomiting etc this morning before I weighed in which is probably why I am showing a loss 🤢.

Not a good result for the round but I'll be back fighting for round 82! 🥊

@LyndaK32 "That" week is awful for me to. I also get sickness. As I get older my ankles also swell..delightful! Be kind to yourself sweetpea x
Round 81 SW 157lbs EW ?
30/06 157
01/02 155.8 Very pleased. I have gone back to 16/8 fasting. For the last 4 days my fasting blood sugar has been between 6 and almost 7. I have asked before about diabetes as there is so much in my family but drs ones have come back fine, with the hca1..whatever being within the normal range and that was just 3 months ago so I have no idea what is going on! I'm going to cut down the carbs and see what it does to my sugar in the morning.
Onto next round and have a great day all x

Day/Weight/Comment
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!
06/29 241.2 lbs this morning. Off to a morning hike with the boys. Had a big meal of bbq. Not what I would call a nutritious meal, but very good😂. Sensible eating the next 6-8 days.
06/30 243.6 yesterday ended in a lot of eating with family 😂. Way too much consumption. Oh well, New day and back to eating sensibly. Another hike today, but both boys today.
07/01 242.2 starting a new week. Little more focused and a better understanding of the effect of eating past feeling full this week. Less of that in the next round. Started at 247, loss 4.8 lbs. nice steady loss. That would put this round in the win column 🎉🎉
