Vacation and tons of activities, I've been slacking off a bit lately and gained 2 lbs over the last month. I need a serious reset over the next 10 days. Rather bloated this morning so I feel that 4 lbs is doable.
Goals: 1. Work out at lunch 4x a week
2. 2 Reps of 5 Push ups daily & 2 Reps of 1 min planks daily
Day/Weight/Comment
07/12: 147.0 - Yoga Burn at lunch + Push Up + Plank. Big family dinner at nice place, tried to keep my eating light. Had 1000 calories saved up for dinner.
07/13 - didn't weigh in - busy day. Lot of walking and baseball game. Ate a pretty large mexican food meal - but only ate 1x all day.
07/14: 145.6 - Another busy day with kid's baseball. Gardened quite a bit and worked around the house.
07/15: 144.6 - YAY!!!!! I feel like the bloat is leaving! Solid workout at lunch Yoga Burn week 2 followed up with planks, pushups, sit ups and stretches. Kept calories under 1350 - trying not to eat back exercise cals this round.

I want to recommit to myself.

Goal for his round--172.6 revised--I am trying to not lock myself in and be too perfect because that leads to my failure. So this goal can be revised along the way so I can feel positive.

Drink 72 oz of water
Sleep 7+ hours every day
Add strength training 3 times a week.
Day/Weight/Comment
7/12 143, not too bad for being lower than usual on water and not working out as much as I normally do (in the middle of my TOM). Hoping to get my energy to today for 70 minutes on the elliptical.
7/13 142.8, going to the museum with a friend and then a yoga class later in the afternoon. Food is all prepped, so just hope to drink enough water throughout the day and keep to the plan .
7/14 141.2, today’s my last day of my cycle so a lot of the weight drop can be attributed to that, but still great to be almost in the 130s and at my round goal. One small victory is that I noticed that I’m under my license weight of 145. I put that number when I was in the 160s because I was too ashamed to put my real weight.
7/15 141.6, this is the second month that I recorded my TOM weight. I normally just track, but don’t actually look at the trends on what happens. Last month, I stalled for two weeks after so hopefully that won’t happen again. But if it does, I can prepare more next month. I won’t be making any radical changes to my diet or exercise this week to really see what my body does.
7/16 140.6, really don’t understand the weight loss today, but I’ll take it! Going to a baseball game with a friend and going to have a hot dog and a beer (will make sure in calories, but life is too short to not enjoy some days!)

Day/Weight/Steps
07/12 160.4 - 14,300 No diet change. It is water retention because I am uncomfortably puffy again. Started birth control last week for medical reasons and even though doctor said it wouldn’t affect weight, I have to believe that is where this is coming from. I’m having a few other issues as well. Maybe it is just a transition time - I hope. This stinks! 😔
07/13 160.8 - 14,000
07/14 159.6 - 15,600
07/15 159.0 - 14,100 It seems like I’m just losing at a “normal” rate instead of the fluid going away because I should be down a few pounds. I guess I am just happy to be moving in the right direction and proud to be staying on plan. It has been much harder this week. I’m having insane hunger/cravings.
07/16 157.6 - 11,900 A new low! I’ve changed my goal three times now but I really think I’m getting close. Maybe 145-150ish??

12: 241.4 Whew. Not liking that number so much. 😕 Did pretty well with food today. I was surprised that Fitbit gave me about 900 exercise calories. I only used 5 of them, but that was only by chance as I synced and logged my food at the end of the day. Goal for tomorrow - log as I eat.
13: 241.6 Feedback: Lack of sleep actually hinders weight loss. On the plus side, I started my day off with an organic vegan sprouted protein shake with Brain Octane oil and Mighty Maca...and I logged it before the first sip! Great way to start my day!
14: 241.5 Not gonna lie, I'm irritated by this, but I also know that's not gonna help change it. I'm doing the right things, so I know the scale will catch up at some point. Hopefully soon!
15: 241.2
16: 239.9 Commencing downward trend! Doing really good with food and hydration. Looking forward to this movement continuing.

@deepwoodslady Thank you! I didn’t used to be, I let my diagnoses beat me down for a long time. I had an incident late last year that made me see that I was quickly heading toward being bed bound. I’m determined to avoid that potential fate for as long as possible, so I use that fear to get myself moving and motivated. You are doing great too and we all have our weak moments, and you are decidedly the sum of all your parts.
@quiltingjaine I believe that you are correct, I’ve lost about 50 since joining this challenge and I had lost 20 before joining. I know eventually the loss will slow down, but I’m enjoying the faster loss, hopefully for a little longer. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 5 months since I joined because it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long.10 -

OSW 382.0
RSW 312.0
My goal for this round is to get out of the 310s and stay on track with my food and fitness plans.
07/12 312.0 I’m happy that I’m not up from all the activity yesterday. I did 2 sets of a bodyweight workout minus planks and I got in 10k steps. I’m feeling it all today so I’m going to take it easy today. My nsv was hitting 10k steps!
07/13 311.2 I’m still feeling the other day and I’m having a flare up of my MS. I have a plan in place and I’m not going to use it as an excuse to sit around and eat. I’m going to try to do little bits of activity as I can throughout the day.
07/14 311.6 I managed strength training yesterday and I was a bit high in sodium and carbs, plus a little later of a night and then earlier morning.
07/15 310.4 I got in decent steps yesterday by doing several short walks as I felt like I could. I’m having to use my cane, but I’m not beating myself up about it. I have a plan in place for the next week because we’ll be at about 100 before any heat index, which usually brings it up around 105-110. I hope to get a few walks today because the weather is going to be nice.
07/16 310.4 I got in a number of walks yesterday thanks to the slightly cooler weather and ended up a little over 10k in steps. I’m still having to use my cane and I’m not the fastest walker right now but that’s okay, I’m just happy to be out walking. The rest of this week I’m mostly staying inside because of the excessive heat , but I can use a lower activity day or two.

GW: 219 lb (July 21, 2019) (4.4 lbs)
This is going to be a challenging challenge round, a birthday and party and a camping trip away. My last camping trip was not great.
Day/Weight/Comment
07/12- 223 A good day but my carbs have been creeping up, I'll need to track and plan better.
07/13- DNW
07/14- DNW This was my son's birthday party and it was a challenge!
07/15- 224.6 I was off Keto yesterday for the birthday party - I had some cake, fruit, etc.. but my calories were reasonable/maintenance level. I think with a day of keto this number will drop back down as I let go of some of the water I'm retaining due to the carbs. We will see
07/16- 223.8 Yay, back on track!
07/17-
07/18- Leaving for a 4 day camping trip - will have to batch cook some Keto things to bring.
07/19- No weigh in
07/20- No weigh in
07/21- No Weigh in (but I will weigh in on the 22nd to end this round)
This is a particularly challenging 10 days - my goal should probably have been maintenance.12 -
Well, unfortunately I didn't stay on track with my birthday or the entire weekend to be precise. It definitely showed today on the scale, but today is a new day!
(Hello everyone! I just found this challenge and I'm one day late, but would love to join y'all! My name is Debbie. Today is my birthday and I'm now 60. 5'3" and my starting weight today is 219.9 lbs. I would love to get down to at least 150 lbs.)

07/13 219.9 Today is my 60th birthday! Hoping I can stay on track today 😉
07/14 Went to church & didn't weigh.
07/15 221.6 My birthday & the weekend, so unfortunately a gain 🤦♀️
07/16 221.6 Same weight as yesterday, but I'm hopeful that tomorrow I'll be down a bit. We'll see 🤷♀️

07/11 …..196.7….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/12 …..196.0 ….. [/color=redYesterday’s stats: 1546 Calories In / 2213 Calories Out. 49 Net Carbs. 7626 Total Steps & 3.23 Total Miles. 9/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I lost the first two hours when I overslept the night before! Last night I slept 4 hours & 33 minutes.
07/13 …..194.8 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1640 Calories In / 2444 Calories Out. 43 Net Carbs. 10,285 Total Steps & 4.35 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept a lousy 3 hours & 3 minutes & woke up tired today. I walked for 10 minutes at a moderate pace. I cleaned house & laundry for 90 minutes & I danced for 12 minutes. Sample song “”Miss You” by the Rolling Stones.
07/14 …..198.0 ….. I deserve this in body but not in soul. Binge last night after encountering a problem that I’ve not had before on this journey. While in bed watching TV I smelled a frozen pizza my son was heating in the oven. He eats later than me & normally I am satisfied at that hour & not tempted. Last night, however, a dark shadow overcame me & I was up & running for the kitchen. It turned on to a full-on binge undoing everything I’ve accomplished in the past week. So a new problem (will this happen again?) is turning into a new plan. BEDROOM DOOR SHUT in this very small house so the smells will not affect me. I will just have to get up & down as the cat wants out. I think my counts are pretty accurate as the foods I indulged in were mostly pre-packaged garbage. 2750 Calories In / 2410 Calories Out. 208 Net Carbs. 10,376 Total Steps & 4.39 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 4 hours & 4 minutes. I Took a 13 minute walk (I can’t stray too far from my office when the cabins & rooms are filled for the weekend) & did 45 minutes of yardwork & transplanting. I will be working hard today, as is typical after Sunday check-outs. I will try to burn extra calories & be extra mindful of my diet today. My Dr. appointment is Tuesday & this could not have happened at a worse time! As a business owner & manager, a mother of 4 and a grandmother of 5 I would like to think that I’m a disciplined and in-control person. Not last night. Last night I was “only human”. Better today, I promise! You guys deserve for me to be working as hard at is as you are. One day at a time….so today, I’m going through this with you all!
07/15 …..195.8 ….. A nice drop back down, but still a pound up before the pizza. However, I know I am the sum of ALL my parts, not just the weak ones![/fuchsia] Yesterday was a great day. I grilled a huge portabella mushroom again but this time I cleaned it out and filled it with omelet food. 2 eggs, sautéed onion & green pepper, 1 slice of bacon crumbled and I shredded cheddar cheese (1/2 oz) off my block. I baked mushroom first then filled. I also added a few crushed red pepper seeds to the mix. I could have added a dash of hot sauce but was out of it. So delicious! When my oldest DD teaches me to get photos off my phone I will add pics someday! Yesterday’s stats: 1254 Calories In / 2742 Calories Out. 23 Net Carbs. 16,127 Total Steps & 6.82 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 43 minutes which is UNHEARD OF for me! I did rigorous cabin cleaning for 92 minutes after check-outs & I took a 34 minute very brisk walk to offset that pizza from Saturday night. Raining & storming today. All my activity will have to be inside unless something gives.
07/16 …..194.2 ….. All together now…..Hip Hip Horray!!! I haven’t ended this low since back in March & early April just prior to my sister passing away. Doctor appt today for annual check-up. I had that for an extra incentive & I want to keep up the momentum! Goal for today: No self – sabotage after the appointment. Yesterday I decided to knock on a new neighbors door down the road. She appears to be about my age & to live alone. She is always puttering in her yard & gardens. I decided to brave it and ask her if she’d like to go on the 1 ½ mile walk I’ve mapped out in my neighborhood. She said yes. It was a wonderful walk & we plan on doing it more regularly. I’m so glad I took the chance! A new friend & walking partner! Yesterdays stats: 1265 Calories In / 2735 Calories Out. 14,225 Total Steps & 6.02 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours & I slept 5 hours & 17 minutes. I walked 46 minutes with friend at a moderate pace. I walked 23 minutes at a brisk pace alone in rougher terrain. I rigorously cleaned cabins for 76 minutes. Have a great week everyone!

07/21 …..xxxxx ….. My oldest DGS’s 13th birthday. A teenager! Big party including BBQ at the lake. My beginning weigh-in next round will likely be up. I also have some travel next round for business. I hate when I have to spend an entire round catching up on the scale, and with travel expected, catching up may be very difficult. Keeping my chin up. I will make more small changes on the days at home to mitigate the damage! That’s the plan!

07/15- DNW - Not sure what my weight has been these past few days. I've been at my boyfriend's house and his scale is wack so I don't trust it. Did a lot of walking at the OC Fair on Saturday, but had fried things so hope I didn't gain back all that weight I lost last round. Also had some more sugary things which I'm regretting. Today's lunch is going to be a poke salad and half a Trader Joe's chicken wrap. I've been dealing with a horrible migraine since yesterday that isn't going away so I feel like crap. And I have a dental apt today so that's going to sucks too
07/16- 204.5- Yeah I messed up this weekend. Shouldn't have had the beers and heavy foods, but happy I didn't go up as much as I thought I did. Next dental apt isn't until the end of the month, so I have some time to take care of myself. Goal is to get in the gym today or go for a walk and do some meal prepping.

JGM10D ~|~ Round 83
Posting weight and comments each evening.
Aim for 2019 ~ reach 155.
Aim for each round ~ Weigh less at the end than I did at the beginning
I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!Age: 73; Height 5’2”; FemaleFri 12/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ Still holding steady.
SW: 227lbs (Mar 2014)
LW: 153 (Oct 2016)
UGW: 153
Sat 13/07: 163.5: Goals: ✅ We finally got our we boat back in the water, and the new engine is so quiet, and no nasty fumes either. Result! Now all we need is a few warm sunny days to enjoy it.
Sun 14/07: 164.2: Goals: Meh!!!
Mon 15/07: 166.2: Goals: There are no excuses. I 😈 choose instant gratification over sensible eating at a family buffet yesterday. I haven't done that for some time. It did not go unpunished. My new healthy body rebelled big time. I spent an wretched evening feeling bloated and uncomfortable, with an extra big a big kick up the a** when I stepped on the scale this morning. Now, I know I haven't put on 2lbs of weight overnight, (though I may well have with the food I ate), and a lot of it is probably be water weight. But enough is enough, and too much is just plain daft. We all do daft things from time to time. The trick is to put it behind you and move on. I am choosing to have a few reset days of light eating to see if I can redress my blowout yesterday. Though if the truth be told, I have been sliding most of the week. I know this is only a blip. Nothing gets in my way when I'm on a mission.
Goals: ✅ Later: Noticed I had the wrong date for my post this morning, so I’ve fixed it. Hopefully back on track.
Tue 16/07: 164.0: Goals: ✅😁 Sticking close to my goals has paid off. It must have been water weight!
Previous Round:Tue 02/07: 162.4: Goals: ✅Just trying to hold it steady.Daily Goals
Wed 03/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅
Thu 04/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅Had a busy day being foster mum to my daughter's 2 fur babies. Jack is very used to being with us, and is no trouble. Sydney is fairly new, and very nervous, and we haven't really got to know him until this week. DH is the doggie person in our house, but Sydney won't go near him, so I'm it! Worse than having a toddler in the house.
Fri 05/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Lots of walking and gardening today.
Sat 06/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Lots of garden work done today. Perfect weather with a bit of a breeze to take the edge off the heat.
Sun 07/07: 162.6: Goals: ✅ Normal fluctuation.
Mon 08/07: 162.5: Goals: ✅ Another plateau. 😏
Tue 09/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ Drat! The weekend caught up with me!
Wed 10/07: 163.4: Goals: ✅ *sigh* Keeping on keeping on!
Thu 11/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ I was quite disappointed with this result until I noticed my muscle %age has increased since last week. I have been working hard on lower body strength for a couple of weeks. Also yesterday, DH asked me if I had lost weight again. It just goes to show that Progress isn't always about the scale dropping. Looking forward to the next round, and making more progress! 😂Food

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- 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.

Hi Everybody! I’m a returnee.
Declared maintenance April 25, 2019 (12 weeks ago)
Did well maintaining, including while on two recent weeklong vacations, but the day I returned home the scale jumped up July 10: 156.4 and then further up July 11: 157 & then further up July 12: 158.2 😮😳😮 I haven’t seen that number since November ‘18.
07/12 158.2
Over 155 (my scream wt) for the past 3 days. Not sure why, exactly, as I’m tracking all & my apps indicate I should be down 1-2 lbs.)
So, I’ve gone back to full weight loss mode as of 1 pm today. No eating out, no sugar, no starches after lunch, and keep those under 60g/meal. 3 meals per day, no snacks. Low sodium, high fiber. Time to get back to 153 (my GW) or even lower.
07/13 156.4
07/14 157.2 Disappointing (social engagements around eating) walked
07/15 158.8 OMG
Restart #2: I’m not giving up.
07/16 157.6 [I did very well yesterday. All macros/micros very good & calories of 1,736 (low for me).
I’m glad the scale responded. Makes it easier when we are turning the “cruise ship” around to get some encouraging news.]
Just successfully talked myself out of eating out (several places) as I ran errands... was dicey there a few times.
What worked?
“Yes, that’s a habit, but the food is cr*p.”
“Yes, you’d like to go there, but remember you feel awful afterwards even if you eat wisely: too rich, too much SALT.”
“Why are you doing this. You’re not even hungry? (Recognizes salty taste in mouth.) “Ah Yes, WAY too much salt in Sunday.” Water water water!
I was 155 or below until July 10. A week ago. I’m reminding myself that I have caught this quickly.
1/1 days going well
