Round 82 - SW/EW/Loss: 200.4 / 197.4 / -3.0
7/12: 197.8 (+0.4) up a little but feeling okay about it. I'm realizing that a bit of an up and down is really normal and trying to not let it freak me out, and worse stop, anymore. Water down 10 oz (at 50oz), Thai Curry for lunch with fam., left over curry for dinner.
7/13: 197.0 (-0.8) stayed within calorie goal but only 40 oz of water so surprised by this loss but I’ll take it 🥳 The weekend is here so big test for me every time. Trying to stay busy.
7/14:197 (-0.0) Stayed within calories but not whole/clean food all day (hot dogs for dinner)
7/15: 197 (-0.0) hmmmm..... same as above re: food but was ~10% below calorie target . Well, at least it's not going up.
7/16: ?
7/17: 194.8 (-2.2) visitors in = lots of walking! Goal reached!
7/18: 195 (+0.2)
7/19: 195 (-0.0)

Ate really late last night after a visit from the grandchildren, and it was pizza. I haven't eaten pizza in over a year. Today is my granddaughter's birthday celebration. I expect that my weigh ins are not going to be good this week.

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.
17: 240.4 No particular reasoning behind this. Still doing great with food and staying hydrated. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
18: 240.7 Seriously? wth! Feedback: Sometimes there's no apparent cause for a gain, or a loss for that matter. Gonna see how the next few days go and reevaluate my calorie/macro goals before the next road.
19: 241.4 Grrr. That's all I've got.
20: 240.7 I think this is heat related. We don't have a/c, so it was a loooong day. I stayed hydrated, but could only eat about 1000 calories.
21: 238.5 Whoosh! I guess the scale caught up. Goal met for this round. ✅
There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.7 -

This will be a tough one, back in London for almost all this round to pack up some more things in our house. But also quite a few events and celebrations.
My plan ist to get as many runs in as possible and also delay breakfast where I can.

Night out with Friends
I didn't log today. And won't do until Monday.
I woke up stressing about work. Had nice lunch and dinner plus drinks out.
But I also made a bet with a friend to lose 5kg by her birthday end of Sep, which gives me 10 weeks to go from what I'll expect to be 73kg when I start on Monday to get down to 68kg. That's totally doable and I hope it'll give me the motivation to stick to it.

Genuinely forgot to weigh, had a great day and hilarious evening.
Sun 14/07 74.5kg non-digital scale 🚶♀️9400. daytime birthday celebration.
I did not watch what I ate or drank and just enjoyed the day with friends. Tomorrow will be the start of my diet bet.
The gain is fair after the last few days and all will be reversed starting tomorrow.

Stopped eating 22.30 last night, Started 12h --> 13.5hrs fast. Stopped eating 20h --> 8hrs eating.
Only had breakfast and dinner and no snacking. Despite pizza almost within cals.

Very late breakfast, worked from home, hectic day but good foodwise during the day.
Pasta&wine dinner at a friend's house...ooh and then som brownie when our lodger came home with it. Grrr, I had stopped eating and drinking at 21h originally

I saw someone else say this: going to the bathroom helps... as well as arrival of TOM. Also non digital scales, but there was a big difference between today and yesterday.
I woke up hungry and decided to see how long I could last without food - not that long.
Today was another home packing day, also had our cleaner come to help, and went to the hairdresser in between.
Dinner: a disappointing burger - generously estimates, hardly ate during the day to have enough calories for it and then it wasn't very good. But then Hamilton was very good.

TOM well and truly hit today, cramps&cravings. Had a few snacks during the day, working from home. That meant no time for exercise.
Went completely off track in the eve at dinner date. We had a great time, so no regrets. Back to the plan tomorrow, I have a busy last day planned.

My day was indeed busy and productive, diet was alright, went for a run and also walked a lot -29,200 steps 😲 had a couple of drinks and a late dinner, but all within allowance, I had 1400 exercise calories!
NSV but also TMI: my menstrual cup leaked during my run, but I continued and didn't use it as an excuse to stop the run early. "Anything you can do, I can do bleeding" 😉
Sat 20/07 72ish 🚶♀️13k, drive back to Amsterdam, on the road ca 9hrs
Fast: 23-12=13hrs
Eat: 12-12=12hrs
I'm keen to see what I weigh back on my digital scales tomorrow.
So the day wasn't too bad in terms of travel food and snacks. But then I got home where my sister had baked for me and we needed to have a glass of wine (or two)...
Sun 21/07 73.1 sister+family in town
Fast: 12-10.30=11.5hrs
Eat: 10.30-21.00=10.5hrs
The gain must be salt and late night eating and drinking. Not thrilled with the result, but confident I'll reverse it in a few, disciplined days.
Today went off plan with brunch, I couldn't quite get myself back on track. New round and new week tomorrow, see you there.

(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 🤷♀️
07/17 220.8 Still not down to where I was on the 13th, but at least the scale is going down now 😊
07/18 219.8 Yay! Finally back down to where I started. I'll take it!
07/19 219.5 Just want to thank everyone for this wonderful and encouraging group. I'm so glad I found y'all!
07/20 220.5 No surprise... my hubby took out the last of my birthday cake right before bed and insisted we finish it off. It's hard to say no to a lemon Nothing Bundt Cake! Thankfully it's all gone now.
07/21 220.6 So disappointed in myself. I really need to get this weight off my joints. I believe it would really help with the RA. My lower back hurts every day and now my lower abdomen has started hurting. My dr x-rayed my back a couple of years ago and said I have arthritis and degenerative disc. I'm not sure why my lower abdomen has started aching and feeling uncomfortable. Though I have been under A LOT of stress.8 -

Day - Weight - Comment
07/12 - 135.5 (-0.7lbs) - I’m really starting to slack with posting these on time. I think since I’ve shifted my focus to strength training I started to care less about my weight. I’m getting a lot of definition and transforming my body so much that it shows in a short time and I love it... so much so that the scale doesn’t even seem to matter anymore. Maybe this is the ultimate NSV? To not desire a number on the scale anymore! Well, if only life were that amazing, I still fixate on the scale but now it’s the BF% but shouldn’t it have been this whole time? A bit of an aha moment for me. I know my scale BF% is not 100% accurate bit it does seem to correlate fairly closely to other BF measurements I’ve done. More excitingly it has shown a decrease in my BF in the last few weeks even though my weight has gone up overall.
Loads of walking yesterday like 3 hours? Did a hike and other stuff. It was a rest day overall so no intense cardio or strength training.
Ate out since I need to grocery shop but all was fairly healthy. 16,053 steps. 131oz water.
07/13 - 134.5 (-1lb) - two rest days from strength training and weight has fallen back down as I expected. I’m going to hit the gym today so tomorrow will likely go back up. At some point though I expect to get into the 120s 😆 Ate out all day yesterday because I still need to shop but I kept it as healthy as possible. No strength training. 1.5 hours of activity yesterday including hiking, walking, and elliptical. 18,981 steps. 126oz water.
07/14 - 134.3 (-0.2lbs) - slowing working back down. Food was ok, ate out again because still haven’t shopped 🤦🏻♀️ but also had vegan tacos 😲... today is a new day 😆 1hr strength. 45min cardio. 14,422 steps. 126oz water.
07/15 - 135.5 (+1.2lbs) - lots of strength training. 1hr strength. 45min cardio. 16,000 steps (not 100% sure since Apple Watch/MFP sync deleted about 1-2 hours of activity data). 123oz water.
07/16 - 134.2 (-1.3lbs) - kind of tired so I turned off negative adjustments. I love MFP but it doesn’t calc AppleWatch burn properly and leaves me not eating enough, especially on intense weight training days. This allowed me to eat more yesterday and feel much better today. Food was good. 50min strength. 45min cardio. 10,416 steps. 131oz water.
07/17 - 132.9 (-1.3lbs) - eating more! It’s still early but I think eating more is helping. MFP does not calc AppleWatch calories just steps so having negative adjustments on like I would with my Fitbit was causing my body to eat too little. We will see how this goes in the coming week but I think this will get the weight dropping again. Day off strength. 1hr cardio. 11,684 steps. 111oz water.
07/18 - 131.8 (-1.1lbs) - Food on point but making a conscious effort to eat more protein. Day off strength. 1hr cardio. 15,162 steps. 106oz water.
07/19 - 131.7 (-0.1lb) - Food was on point, consuming more and more protein. It’s ending up being a high fat/high protein/low carb ratio but it seems to be working very well! 1hr strength. 40min cardio. 11,940 steps. 104oz water.
07/20 - 131.3 (-0.4lbs) - Food was good. I did splurge a little and had some processed sugar in a vegan ice cream but calories were under goal. Tons of protein! 💪🏻 1hr strength. 50min cardio. 12,053 steps. 120oz water.
07/21 - 132.5 (+1.2lbs) - 😆 I knew I would gain by the end of the round! I know why though... Bloated. TOM and DOMS. Food was on point. Tons more protein. 1hr strength. 50min cardio. 10,400 steps. 148oz water.8 -
You don't say why you're so depressed, sometimes it helps to share - can almost feel as if you're offloading some of the stress and depression. I was very depressed due to my weight when I started on this particular stage of my weight losing journey some years ago - I had been very overweight all my life (not just as an adult), I made the decision that to beat my depression I needed to lose the excess weight once and for all and this was the motivation that carried me through.
If you need to off load there are plenty of us here that can empathise/sympathise and will support as much as we can. If you feel that you need to keep it to yourself then we respect that too. Sending you a big comforting hug hang on in there my friend x.
Oh, thank you, you're so kind and nice. Actually, I've been always depressed, I've taken help with meds and therapy for years. I've been getting better through the years but sometimes I cannot deal with it and do emotional/stress eating. These days I'm really stressed because of my master's thesis. I'm finishing it, I need to do some edits, but I often lost my self-confidence. And also I'm single, dating around but cannot find anyone and it makes me sad. And also, mostly I'm really confident about myself but sometimes I think that people don't attract me because I'm not thin enough. I really need some love, I know everyone feels like that... So feeling lonely and stress about thesis make me eat and drink more.
I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling with depression, and so glad you're coming back for the next round! Hugs. This little corner of MFP is so supportive- we're rooting for you! Just logging on and posting here takes you forward on your journey, so you're doing great so far!6 -
I’m a newbie at this and sounds fun. I’m somewhere between 5’2 and 5’3. I am hypothyroid, which has made weight loss challenging at times. I have IBS and no gallbladder, which prevents me from eating too much fat without paying a steep toll.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/12 132 worked hard doing my strength training definitely feeling it in my calves. Happily starting to see muscle development.
07/13 130: very sore. Did a lot of stretching for my sore muscles.
07/14 128.5 walked all day at my city’s cornucopia/fair. Logged over 10,000 steps. Tired; deciding whether to do the rest of my exercises.
07/15 127.8: So bloated and crampy today; thanks period😒. Still sore, so lots of stretching today and a quick aerobics workout. Feeling ultimately great about my weight loss, but my hanging, seemingly unshrinkable stomach apron is getting me down. Maybe it’s from emotions stemming from PMS, but I spent a chunk of time today searching about tummy tucks.
07/16 127.2. Surprised I lost weight today, usually my weight is up when I’m pmsing. Had a good workout today. Used my waist trainer, which really helps with bloating and cramps. Forced food down for energy. Anyone else have little to no appetite when they have pms? Going to go on a walk to wind down the day.
07/17 128.5lbs. Not surprised my weight is bumped up; still very bloated. Got good news from my doctor today. All my tests are normal and my thyroid levels are well into the normal range for the first time in years!!
Walked for hours today had so much to do, so decided to walk everywhere. Love the endorphins I get from exercising, but not the soreness.
Treated myself to a skinny macchiato from starbucks and now putting my feet after my long day.
07/18 127.2lbs. Got in a mix of workouts. I started with some aerobics than strength training and flowed into yoga for recovery. I wasn’t sure if I was going to exercise today had a health scare last night that had me in the er for hours. I feel good, I love how relaxing yoga 🧘♀️ is.
07/19 127lbs. NSV: I was able to deadlift 150 pounds today. When I first started my weight loss journey almost five years ago, I was dead lifting almost 200 pounds. I went into maintenance feeling strong and healthy. Than life got in the way, as it often does, and exercise went to the wayside. A year ago, I found I put back on almost 20 pounds (darn addicting prime rib sandwiches at metropolitan market) and I slowly started getting it off and exercising again. Gosh, I forgot how much I loved it! Now, I weigh less than I did when I went into maintenance and I’m feeling strong 💪 again.
07/20 126.5lbs. Took a walk with my son to enjoy some sunshine. Seattle weather is unpredictable and I enjoyed the rare show of the ☀️. I took it up a notch and did some step aerobics and ended with yoga. I relaxed with my food today and enjoyed some 🌮. Today was good.
07/21 127lbs. Today was all about worshipping the porcelain god. My son and I got food poisoning and most of my workout came from running to the bathroom and helping my son, who thinks he is on deaths door lol.
Overall, this was a good round; I lost 5 pounds and three inches. I look more toned and I am so close to maintenance weight. Thanks all for sharing your journey with me and following mine. See you next round!!7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
07/12 190.6 – Up a bit. Starting this round with a long weekend away to visit my younger grandkids. On the road today, so options for meals and exercise were limited. At least I stayed hydrated.
07/13 DNW
07/14 DNW
07/15 191.6 – Lovely, relaxing weekend with my son and his family. Took a break from tracking, but now I’ve got some work to do. Unfortunately, I’ve been dragging today, so no walk. I stayed under my calorie allowance but had too much salt and not enough water. Hopefully a good night’s sleep will help me get back on track.
07/16 192.2 – Another bump. Well, at least I’ve learned that this is what too much salt (prepared or restaurant food) and not enough exercise or water does. Today was a bit better, but I’m still not back on track. On the up side, I had a lovely beach day, and I really enjoyed the pizza I had for lunch. It’s going to be a challenge to turn things around this week, but I’m not giving up yet.
07/17 190.4 – Well that’s a surprise, but I’m not getting too attached to this number. We’ll see where it is tomorrow. I had a lunch date with my sister and nieces to celebrate my god-daughter’s new job. My sister had chosen a lovely restaurant, and I really wanted to relax and enjoy the day with them. So after a few minutes of anxiously scanning the menu for lower-calorie options, I reminded myself that I could choose what I wanted and make other trade-offs. I skipped the appetizer and ordered lobster risotto and unsweetened iced tea, then had a single scoop of amaretto ice cream at my favorite ice cream place. It felt indulgent and celebratory!
07/18 190.4 – Okay, so it looks like I’m back to where I was at the end of last round. This one’s been really challenging so far, with heat advisories and thunderstorms limiting outdoor activity, as well as fewer opportunities to prepare my own meals. But that’s summer! And the challenges are giving me some opportunities to test what I’ve been learning through these discussion boards. Managed a walk today before the thunderstorms rolled in again, so I met all my goals. Now to keep on track – the 180’s are so close!
07/19 189.8 – Woo hoo! First peek at the 180’s feels great! It’s also only 20 pounds away from my end-of-year goal of 169.8 (based on averaging a pound a week weight loss for 10 months). I’m 4 ½ months in with 5 ½ months to go, and I’m happy to see I’ve got a little cushion to help me get past the holidays or to offset slower weight loss in the future. Excessive heat warnings for these last 3 days of the challenge, so I’ll be working to stay on track while I stay cool. Hydration, hydration, hydration!
07/20 189.2 – Nice! The boys are getting good at pool volleyball, so I got a nice workout chasing the ball in the deep end yesterday. In the evening, we took them seining in the bay and then went for a long nature walk along the shore. Such a pleasant way to meet my exercise goal! Friends rescheduled today’s BBQ because of the heat, so my husband and I enjoyed a rare quiet summer day. Too hot to cook, so dinner was basically an extended cocktail hour – cheese and crackers, a few slices of chorizo, fruit, cold shrimp, and a couple of whiskey sours. Not the most balanced meal, but perfect for a lazy day. Kept close to my calorie limit, so we’ll see what the scale says tomorrow.
07/21 189.2 – Happy I’m ending the round here. And glad the forecast is for rain and cooler temperatures for the next couple of days!
See you all in Round 84!

Joining my first round, down to the last 15ish pounds and need any extra motivation I can find.
Female, 37yo, 5'5"
Highest ever was 182.6 in 2013.
Lost 40lbs, got pregnant-had baby 6/2014. Lost baby weight, but stayed 145-155ish.
Got pregnant-had baby 9/2016. Didn't have a lot of motivation and stayed around 160ish, travel and holidays put on some extra weight before the end of the year.
1/1/19 - 170.4
Day/Weight/Comment
07/12 - 137.2
07/13 - 137.0 - My lowest weight in my adult life, still about 10-15 from ultimate goal. It would probably help if I added some exercise in.
07/14 - 136.2 - Yesterday was a typical Saturday, stayed in my calories but they weren't the best food choices. Same for today, our shopping with mom and sis.
07/15 - 135.8 - maybe it was all of the walking Sunday that saved me
07/16 - 136.2 - TOM
07/17 - 135.8
07/18 - 136.4
07/19 - 135.8 - This seems to be the new weight I keep bouncing around to. Luckily I now know that this seems to be my pattern and if I stick with this, I will see a drop soon. It's still frustrating in the mean time though.
07/20 - 135.4
07/21 - 135.49 -
Starting 7th round - these daily updates have been so helpful for me to stay on track! Thanks @GrandmaJackie!
Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW: 177.1 lbs
LTG: 110.0 lbs
STG: 133.3 lbs 10 pounds away from MTG of healthy weight category - last seen 6/2011
MTG: 123.3 lbs Leave Overweight category and get into Healthy BMI range - last seen 6/2010
Goal for 10 day Challenge - lose 2.8 pounds (starting weight 136.1 ending weight 133.3 of STG should be doable with exercise and staying on track with food. No travel this round should help!)
Day/Weight/Comment
7/12 135.8 Yeah! into the 135.x range for the start of the round! Good workout in spin class today in terms of estimated calories burned, although heart rate did not really get into the peak zone - end of week fatigue? consequence of doing an interval class last night and step in the morning yesterday and not enough carbs? recovering still from weight training from Wednesday? new routine (did have lots of heavy resistance)? In any case, I have the weekend to take it easier, although hope to fit in the HIIT class in the morning. Cavatappi pasta with homemade duck bolognese sauce and smoked mozzarella for dinner (have to watch portion size!), so should have no problem recharging glycogen! Unfortunately I used up all the salad greens last night so no side salad for dinner; although did have a large salad at lunch. Will get fresh greens at the farmer's market tomorrow!
7/13 136.0 Up by 0.2 pounds, but likely water weight fluctuations; pasta last night (but should be within target) and still have some leg muscle soreness from the tabata class, followed by twister with the kids on Thursday. Did go to the circuit class this morning and stayed on with a small group to do some additional core work, so a great cardio (+ social) workout all over! Rest day for the serious heavy strength training today and tomorrow to recover and start the week fresh. Got fresh shrimp with the heads on at the farmer's market, so planning on making a shrimp stock for shrimp paella on the big green egg! No greens at the farmer's market (too late ) so need to go to the store to get them for a side salad (craving greens right now!) Thinking about making a keto blueberry/blackberry crumble (supposed to be only 100 calories) as a treat tomorrow night so will try to find almond flour. NSV - MFP 5 week prediction was to be at 141 today based on food diary, but was 5 pounds under!!!
7/14 136.0 Weight same as yesterday, although this is a typical pattern by now of good drop, slight increase, stable, then drop again (plus more carbs yesterday and forgot to take BP medicine!) and overall trend is consistent over the last 6 months. Today was rest day for weights, so cardio only -- did spend an hour+ on elliptical so not sure legs are going to be really rested tomorrow (so may not see drop due to DOMS) and may switch out upper body routine for tomorrow and then do leg strength training on Tuesday for more recovery depending on how I feel in the am. Calories should be fine for day based on tracking. NSV - have been able to enjoy "new" (at least not worn in last 7 years) wardrobe of old clothes that now fit!!! Looking forward to dropping more sizes in the months to come!
7/15 136.3 Bummer - slight bump up and half pound up since beginning of round (although still have a 7 pound loss for the last 30 days so still on track). Have been hitting cardio/strength training hard and calories/exercise as best as I can tell should be in definite territory. Just need to be patient as this seems to be a typical pattern of weight increase with exercise and then a drop. Will be patient and just keep up the exercise and practice good eating habits! NSV: MFP prediction for today was 141, so definitely beat that!
7/16 134.4 WHOOSH!!!! Intense cardio yesterday, but did refuel with pasta so surprised that there was that big a drop! (and will not be surprised if I am back up tomorrow :-) Went to my old gym at the university with DH and started lifting with barbells today - new high in my exercising regime as I could actually use a 45 lb bar (with some extra weight!) Went to the spin class there, which was really intense - really felt like I put everything into it and pushed myself to a new calorie burn record for me! Now hoping I have enough energy to move tomorrow! NSV: Beat Pacer's 30 day prediction of weight (134.7) even with a weak of travel!
7/17 134.8 Not surprised at all at the increase; standard nonlinear change by now! Switching up exercise regime to do 5x5 lifts with barbells (plus a few other specific muscles) rather than my split upper/lower body workouts with machines as more efficient use of time and can do all on one day, so today was a cardio only day. Did the "cardio move" class and spin class (not at the uni so a good workout but not at the peak HR zone like the university class so don't feel like I was overdoing it. Calories were good for the day. Feel like I need to incorporate more fiber - nuts seems to be good but if anything fat levels are the one area where I tend to exceed in macros. I need to get over mindset from Atkins/low carb days that beans/legumes have more carbs/calories and do more to incorporate them in my meals. Have worked passed views about low GI fruit, so there is hope! Just have to remember with Atkins beans/legumes/low GI fruits are all encouraged at the later stages and that what matters for me is keeping an eye on the total calories and carbs within my limit.
7/18 135.0 well slight increase, but not completely surprising based on past after a 1.9 drop earlier as adjusting (but not likely to make 2 lb loss this round :-( Did feel constipated this morning so some may be due to food retention. Did make sure that I had more fiber today (although not sure if that increases water retention) Oh well - main thing is that medium sized pants are starting to feel baggy (although that might be the effect of the heat on making linen more baggy!) and my profile does not look like I am possibly pregnant as belly fat is slowly going away now! No weights today, but did get in a step class, spin and did a short 9 min interval of run/jog (felt great to run again!)
7/19 133.4 Whoosh take two for this round! And almost at short term goal of 133.3 which will put me at 10 pounds to healthy weight category!!! Will be doing weight training (5x5 lifts) and then intervals on elliptical later for cardio so hope that I can maintain this through the last day of the challenge! The challenge is that we may be going for pizza tonight at my favorite place - but at least pizza is really thin crust and does not have lots of cheese/heavy toppings so I have been able to combine a large salad with 2 pieces of pizza and stay on target! [and part of long term maintenance plan to enjoy salty, fatty, carbs on occasion!] mini-goal for today: stay hydrated as heat index is over 110 today.
7/20 134.7 well not unexpected given history and probably higher sodium for last night. Great kale salad last night with lemon, garlic oil and chili oil (so probably over fat for today) but did stick to just two pieces of pizza. Did cardio class at gym, but skipped weight section as this was a weight rest day. Instead, ran/jogged intervals - one lap run/one lap walked. Actually felt great to sprint!!! Dinner tonight is fresh wahoo (going to poach in olive oil, so need to watch fat), honeydew and cantaloup salad with feta and basil and arugula salad.
7/21 134.5 Slight decrease, but not back to round low yet. Still a good loss of 1.6 pounds (more ups/downs with weight training increasing and it is harder as I get closer to goal) Feel like lots of water retention/sore muscles from the running intervals (apparently uses other muscles than what I use for spin or other cardio classes or weight training, so need to add in to routine to balance!) Healthy late breakfast, and ended up skipping lunch as stomach was a little upset plus the heat. Went shopping at grocery store, where they had a table for a blood drive. Decided to donate as it had been a while and kept getting calls to donate as a universal donor - hoping that adds to loss tomorrow, but it meant no more serious exercise for the day! Large kale salad, grilled tuna and cantaloup salad with homemade basil oil and feta, but calories should be good for the day.
Traveling for part of next round but will post when possible!!! Thanks everyone for a great round

***ROUND 83 (my 13th)***
Day/Weight/Comment
07/12 134.6 I'm in an odd place with my weight loss journey. I am willing to take things much slower, but I have basically maintained for a while, and I'm sick of it. I don't eat very many calories and absolutely cannot go lower. My arms are still flabby, my stomach still has rolls when I bend over, and I know I have a little ways to go yet, though I feel much more confident than I did when I started, that's for sure! But I'm stuck.
Ultimately, I know I'm more comfortable about 10 pounds lower and I don't know how I'm going to get there! Starting to lurk on the maintenance forum to figure out how the heck you "recomp" when you're this close to the finish line, hence my new goal (I haven't done any exercise yet, and I have a feeling it involves exercise...)
07/13 132.2 Heh. I complained yesterday and today I'm already at this round's goal. HOWEVER, I *know* it'll be up tomorrow. If only I could have hit this new low on a weekday!
07/14 133.6 Sadly, I'm guessing it'll be up further tomorrow. Struggling with sugar cravings, which isn't too typical for me because I always have chocolate worked into my day.
07/15 133.6 Ha.
07/16 133.6 [shrugs] I find myself torn between being really at peace with this and being mildly disappointed. Have not researched recomp yet, need to get on that!
07/17 133.6 I've decided to give myself a 'Recomp Research assignment' every day for the rest of the challenge because research is fun and I feel like I'm ready to tackle this now that I'm close to my UGW. Here's the first thing I turned up:
"On days you lift, you’ll eat at maintenance calories, which is the number of calories you need to maintain your current body weight. Every day that you don’t lift, you’ll eat at a small calorie deficit.* That includes days when you do cardio." -Physiqonomics
*"Subtract 150–200 calories from your maintenance calories."
Okay. I've done calorie cycling before in this journey. The hardest part is (1) trusting that the high calorie days won't make me gain and (2) calculating my weekly calories correctly so #1 is true. In my case, recomp means going from TOTALLY SEDENTARY to days when I lift weights! With my pain and mobility issues, I worry about building muscle, so must give this further thought...
07/18 133 4 days of 133.6, now 133 even. Probably just water weight. My recomp research continues and I've decided modifying typical recomp plans for my physical limitations could simply mean *gentle* calorie cycling (because I don't eat a ton anyway) and *gentle* workouts (because I'm suuuuper sedentary)- now that is doable!
07/19 133 Second day in a row of 133 even. I have slightly upped my calories, still losing. My recomp research has led me to some chair workouts I'm excited about! I found some strength ones designed for wheelchair users and cardio ones for seniors, respectively, and I feel good about starting one of these at my current fitness level. I'm only 39 but my body stubbornly insists I'm twice that, which puts me at a somewhere below beginner level lol!
07/20 134 Anyone else feel like as soon as they put it in writing, your body does the opposite? (From yesterday: "I have slightly upped my calories, still losing." Today: +1 lb. Good one, body!) lol just kidding, kinda. Fluctuations like this are NORMAL and no cause for alarm. Plus- and I'm not sure I should be admitting this- yesterday, I ate a cheeseburger, pizza, and ice cream, which isn't abnormal for me whatsoever. I'm happy with how everything's going!
07/21 134 I noticed some errors in copying from my notepad to MFP, which I've corrected now, and looking over my last 4 rounds, I can see more clearly that I'm maintaining at around 134. However, my measurements have changed (for the better!), I feel lighter, and I'm SO much happier with my appearance. NSVs for sure. I still want to get down to the 120s because I've always felt my best there (I'm very small boned), so I'll apply what I've learned this round about recomp to Round 84. See you all there!

Day / Weight/Comment
07/12 - 164.6 (+0.7) - Anyway I think that's my weight, I had a battle with my scales this morning, every time I tried to started it, it showed a number already there (e.g. instead of 0.0 there was 1.8 or 0.8 or 2.3....) So I deducted the initial wight from the final weight. I'm going scales shopping this afternoon but I'm so disappointed as it's was an expensive one (Garmin to go with my tracker) If anyone has a brand to recommend I'm all ears
07/13 - 165.8 (+1.1)
07/14 - 165.8 (-0.0)
07/15 - 165.2 (-0.6)
07/16 - 163.2 (-2.0) I didn't have time to post this weekend but I did weight every day I've been really active which is good, it keeps me away from food I ended up buying a new scale in the sales, a very simple one, I'm hoping it'll last a little longer but at that price it won't matter lol I've been sticking to my allocated MFP calories but it's been up and down and all over the place, looks at least like it's going in the right direction now!
07/17 - 163.2 (0.0) I'm happy I'm staying at this weight, the other days it had gone straight back up! it's my "new low" number Yesterday evening I had a flat tire with my bike so I'm going to learn to change it myself. I'll get the gear tonight but as I'm busy tonight it'll have to wait till Thursday so I have enough time to do it. I've really started enjoying cycling to work, it's a good way to get my cardio workout done (4km each way is not too long but rather hilly so I change at the office). I walked to the office this morning and it took me 50 minutes. I'm still confused how fitbit/MFP calculate the exercise activities as not all exercise carries over from Fitbit to MFP
07/18 - 163.2 (0.0) Status quo, yesterday was quiet a good day, I walked tons but didn't do any cardio as I still need to repair my bike. Today I'm taking it easy, I'm hurting all over due to arthritis for some reason so just calorie counting on the menu for me Yesterday evening I was out with friends and someone posted a group photo on social media of us, I looked enormous and it really depressed me, I know some people who are much heavier than me and look absolutely fantastic but I just don't carry weight well. I should print that photo out as motivation
07/19 - 162.4 (-0.8) Super pleased although a bit surprised lol I'm hoping it'll stay this way but I doubt it as tonight I'm going out to my fortnightly board games evening which is usually crisps and junk food munched on all evening till 3-4 am. I'm planning on having a very good dinner so that I feel full enough watching my friends eat their way through tons of packets of crisps! From experience I know that if I start I don't stop so I have to restrain myself ! I have to admit that I purposely didn't go last time as it was just at the beginning of my diet and I didn't want to ruin it straight away. Now I'm more motivated as I see the weight slowly coming off at last
07/20 - 163.6 (+1.2)
07/21 - 163.6 (0.0)
I'm not surprised by the last numbers from the weekend, I didn't do so well and didn't exercice, so I finish this round with the following numbers
R83 (2) - SW 163.9 / EW 163.6 (-0.3lbs)6 -
@Tracie_Lord & @matratazola and others — alias is a loss no matter how small.3

@quiltingjaine, totally agree! But I've got a suspicion that my final round weight when we end on a weekend are never going to be major2

7/12 169.9 Got home Wednesday night weighed - 173.5. This morning 169.9 and hopefully down more tomorrow. While I was in Colorado I stayed within calories all but one day and even then was 200 over. I walked every day I was there. I had the most fantastic walks of my life. Like I'm trying to figure out how quickly I can go back just to walk trails. Turns out I love hiking, I mean it kicks my booty when I'm doing it but I have personally never done any physical exercise that gave me such a feeling of accomplishment. Please see the pic below, this is what I got to see after sweating my *kitten* off for twenty minutes climbing up. So this water weight is no biggie, I haven't been drinking as much water as I should, now that I'm home my regular routine should take care of that. I need to get caught up with you guys. HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
7/13 168.4 Not as big of a drop as I had hoped but I know I'm still retaining water. I got in a little over 3 miles and mowed the front and back yard before it got too hot. Spent the rest of the day with the BF. The first time we've seen each other in almost a month.
7/14 169.1 Dang it! Too much sodium for someone who was already retaining water. Why do chicken cranberry sausages have to have so much friggin' sodium? Walked 3 miles, trying to keep up the miles in the heat is challenging but I'm trying Spent the rest day with the most beautiful "like a grandbaby" girl ever. She was "helping" me water flowers. ch5zyycq0tl2.jpg
7/15 169.4 I guess I've still not drunk enough water. I know the calories I ingested would not cause me to gain 2 pounds. It has to be water retention. It cooled down to a high of 85 today, so I'll hit the trail after work. It's Monday for sure, I'm so tired.
7/16 168.2 That’s better. Walked 3 last night. I should be able to get three in tonight before the temperature goes into the 90’s for the next 5 days. Headed to StL today. I won’t have a scale until Friday. I’m going to try to drink water while driving instead of tea. It definitely helps with water retention.
7/17 NS Did not walk 3 miles yesterday, weather.com lied to me about the temperature. Jerks Didn't get in all the water I should have either but I got in some. I did walk around shopping for an hour and a half so that's something. Tonight I will be going to the gym.
7/18 NS Did almost an hour of weights last night. It was in the 70s this morning so I got my walk in early. I walked around Creve Coeur Lake. It's nice. I scared a lone deer (Please see pic below). It's 3.5 miles so it was a great way to start the day. I stayed under calories yesterday, though I had remembered the calorie count on something wrong. In my memory it was 250ish but when I went to log it turns out it was more like 450ish... Still under but only with exercise calories. No biggie. I can't trust my memory on these things.
7/19 168.5 I had turkey sausage cabbage stirfry last night and did not drink enough water. Low in calories but high in sodium. I should be down tomorrow. No exercise today. My arms, chest, and abs are sore from the gym on Wednesday night and I'm tired from the week. Not sure about walking tomorrow morning. I'm picking up my 20-month-old great-niece early in the morning and keeping her for the day. If it's not too miserable I'll take her for a walk, I have a great stroller. I'd have to find a shady trail that's wide enough. We'll see. Happy Friday everyone. Stay cool.

R83 Goal Weight: 143
Ultimate Goal Weight: 130-133
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.
07/16: 144.2 - Great workout at lunch - Yoga Burn Week 2 - plus planks, sit ups, pushups, side planks - stayed under cal goal. Didn't eat exercise calories earned back.
07/17: 146 - dammit, dammit, DAMMIT. Tough day but forced myself to Yoga Burn Week 2 at lunch + planks, pushups, sit ups - got in 30 min workout. Pretty bodysore from the 16th but got thru it. Stomach was weird all day - first time in months that things just don't agree with it. Felt bloated most of the day.
07/18: 145.8 - tiny step in the right direction - rode my colt before work. No workout, company lunch with pizza and family dinner. Tough day diet/fitness wise.
07/19: 145.8 - rather a relief this wasn't higher after yesterday.

07/21 144.2 - met my exercise goals if not my weight goal.5 -

heaviest was June 16 --153.4...that day I came up with a new plan, and here we are..thank you for this forum! I will achieve my goal and I will maintain it once there.
goal this round; 1.5 lbs less
end goal: 125
GOAL: Be AWARE of my food choices...
WHY ---do I choose what I choose
WHEN --do I choose the food I choose
HOW ---do those choices impact your weight and fitness goals? The understanding of these questions should be enlightening to help me make better future decisions and change patterns of behavior
3rd round for me. This is a great way to keep in touch with others with similar goals. I'm 49 yo female Canadian expat living in Central America. Good luck all for to continuing the journey to all our goals. On 6/25 I decided to give up alcohol for a month, partly to help with weight loss, but who am I kidding...lol I need a etoh break anyways. So, I'm doing my exercise, mindful choices with food, and haven't had etoh in 26 days.

***to recap- start 145.8 end 143.6 = 2.2lbs Yeah...lets keep on rolling right into the next 10 day challenge. I am surprised and pleased how effective this accountability has been for me. June 16 weighed 153.4 so in about 5 weeks down about 10 lbs. I must say not drinking etoh has helped with this. So..well, now decisions...I was doing a 30 day etoh 'experiment'. Do I risk my success in weightloss if I end the experiment...or do i continue the 'experiment' until i reach my weight goal? Umm, not sure yet...keep you posted

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.
Dec’18 they June ‘19 Monthly avg weight <155
7/10 156.4
7/11 157
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.
07/17 155.8 Yesterday was tough. Hubby arrived home tired & I suggested our favorite Mexican restaurant (😳). Words out of my mouth - not thinking. He gently said “I thought we weren’t eating out.” I asked Which would you prefer, and he said he was happy with either. I said, “OK let’s eat here.”
Bullet dodged. Rewarded with scale.
2/2 days going well.
SALT is my culprit. Once I whack that down, my appetite becomes normal.
BUT I am not letting up. I’m still above Scream Weight AND my Maintenance Weight of 153. Carrying on. After I get through today, I will have to white knuckle much less! (Usually takes theee Days.) I did skip a group potluck lunch today - I knew I wasn’t “safe” yet to handle the temptations.
Thanks again❣️& a big hug to deepwoodslady 💕
And congratulations to TracyLord!
07/18 156.0 Yay! One more pound to go until scream wt again! Yesterday was quite easy & I felt better so took an hour walk! Got groceries back in the house, got the carrots & celery cleaned & in containers. Planned & cooked a fab dinner that was healthy.
This is the new habit I’m building. A month’s worth if dinners that I can re-use & will give us a variety if flavors & prevent eating out.
1/1 day successful 🍀 I think I’m going to cook dinner after lunch, so I’m not tempted to say “I’m tired.”
07/19157.0 surprised it went up, Doing everything right. Cooked a healthy dinner for us again yesterday, freezed a bunch for future. Walked an hour. Wt will go down! Many factors: Heat, water, late dinner, etc
07/20 157.2 continuing to eat at home, track all, walked 73 mins. Doing all I should. All will be good. Hot weather is never my scale’s friend.
07/21 157.2hopefull 155 by here!)
Well, next round! I’m doing everything right. Turned the gain creep around. Stopped eating out - successfully did so 7/7 days of the past week!!!
See you next round!3 -
These challenges seem to go by so quick sometimes. This round ends on a Sunday so I am going to do my best to be good that weekend. My only goal this round is to see a 144.xx and to get to into a “healthy” BMI range. We will see if I can do it, the last round I pretty much just maintained and didn’t ever see that new low I was looking for. So I am ready this round for it!
Round 80: 148.7 - 148.0 (10 day Avg 147.22)
Round 81: 148.0 - 146.5 (10 day Avg 147.87)
Round 82: 146.5 - 146.3 (10 day Avg 146.93)
07/12 - 144.6 A NEW LOW!!!!! I can't believe I hit my goal for this round already. 1.3 pound loss from last week. 1.6 more pounds and I will be out of the over weight category and I will be at the tip top of my maintenance. I will also officially be in the last 5 pounds of my journey. I have stayed strong this whole week and was expecting a loss, but I usually lose a half a pound at a time, so if I see an uptick tomorrow I would not be surprised or mad. It's a nice way to go into the weekend and hopefully keep me on track.
07/13 - 144.6 same so I’ll take it and run! Starting the weekend out stressful and busy. My oldest had to move back in with us last night. His living situation did not work out. His little heart is broken and my heart hurts for him. That first breakup is just horrible and I can remember mine like yesterday. He will be ok, but having a kid move back in after being out for a year and half is rough. Plus he is an adult now and in a completely different place than where he was at 18 when he moved out. Have lots to do to help him and get organized, so will be busy and eating on the run probably a lot this weekend. I’m going to try and stay on track and have a really strong weigh in on Monday.
07/14 - 146.8 didn't have time to check in but did weigh
07/15 - 150.5 Extremely busy and stressful weekend. My husband's company party was yesterday (last thing I wanted to deal with), but we went. We walked the zoo for hours in 100 degree weather and I only ate one meal. Saturday and Sunday my sodium and carbs levels were doubled what I usually eat and I haven't slept well in 2 nights. Last night was another horrible, restless night. I just couldn't get comfortable or turn my brain off. Calories were good, about 100-150 over each day, so I know this weight will fall off in a day or 2. I just get so frustrated that my body can gain 5.9 pounds in 48 hours. Going to move my son out of his condo tonight and put everything into storage, but hopefully will be able to sleep better once that is done. He needs to put closure on that situation and move on. On top of everything else happening, we are having new windows installed in the entire house today and tomorrow. So we spent the morning getting ready and moving furniture for that. Hopefully I will be down tomorrow. I am drinking plenty of water today and have my day planned for food.
07/16 - 148.2 coming back down. Slept really well last night and got my son all moved out of his condo yesterday. We are just getting him organized and adjusted back to living at home with rules, lol. Good day yesterday so happy I am moving back in the right direction. 2.3 pounds down and 3.6 to go to get back to the start of the round. We ate Taco Bell last night for dinner, because it was already super late, but I ate off the fresco menu and stayed way under calories for the day. We will see what tomorrow holds for my weight!
07/17 - 148.7 I have no idea why I'm still up, lol. I really expected to be down a couple more pounds today. I'm sleeping better and have not gone over my calories at all. Drinking plenty of water and had very little carbs the last couple of days. I am just starting to think this is one of those weeks that can't be explained. I'm doing everything right, so that's all I can tell myself. Two months ago I would have been thrilled to be here, my original maintenance weight was 145-150. I changed it last month to 140-145. So losing another 5 pounds was my brilliant idea, lol.
07/18 - 147.3 inching my way back down still. Did well yesterday and stayed under calories. I am hoping in the next 3 days to get back to 145.xx or 144.xx and end the round on a positive. Still don't know why I took this spike up, but it is what it is. I know I just have to stay on track and 1 of these days I will just drop again and be back to normal until my next spike that can't be explained. Lmao!
07/19 - 145.3 and there it is that random drop that I have been waiting for. Whatever it was is gone now and I'm back down almost to my starting weight. Staying the course and hoping for 2 more great weigh-ins. I doubt I will get another new low in this round, but I will be happy if I end up anywhere in this area.
07/20 - 145.3 walking the mall, grocery shopping, school supply shopping, cleaning the house, laundry, and doing some spring cleaning in my daughters room is what’s on the calendar for today. Should burn a lot of calories with all of that activity and hopefully I can stay on track food wise to end well this round. Anything below 146, hoping I am back down to 144. We will see, 1 more day of this round!
07/21 - 145.9 couldn't check in yesterday. Was super busy all weekend. Took 4 huge trash bags to good will with my daughters "little kid" things and clothes that didn't fit anymore. She will be starting 5th grade this year. We also moved her room around and got her all set to start school on Tuesday. The hubby and I also took the 2 girls to go see Lion King yesterday morning. Saw a new low (144.6) a couple of times, ended this round .4 pounds down from the end of last round (which ending on a weekend is not bad), and my 10 day average was down to 146.72. Could have done better, but I am not complaining either. On to round 84!2 -
GOAL. This month I am planning a non stop dieting month. July 1st-August 1st. So far....8/31

07/13 138.6 no clue why the gain, ate fruit, stuck to my meal plan and worked hard. I haven't been sleeping well latley, so I am wondering if it has something to do with that. Unfortunatley though today was not as good of a day. Stress has been really getting to me and when I stress I eat. I need to find a better way to cope....was thinking of signing up for some sort of boxing class or something, to get all my aggrivation out. Needless to say this will result in a gain 😥
07/14 140 This was expected but I am not giving up...every day I try is a step in the right direction...even if there are bumps in the road. I still got this! Today was a good day, a wonderful way to start the week off 10/31

it was a good day yesterday but once again I gave into temptations today 😥😥 it seems the end of the day is the hardest

daily goal 138❌
although I didn't make my daily goal, it could have been a lot worse, considering what I ate the night before. Regardless today was a lot different and I really kicked it into high gear, while also staying under calories. So all in all, i am happy 11/31
Spoiler
07/17 138.8 This is what happens when you stop caring for a month, what used to be a pound a day because of high activity, slows down considerably. I am dissapoined but I know I did this to myself. Either way, i had a good day so all I can do is keep going in the right direction. 12/31

07/21 138 16/31 after working extremely hard this week I am disappointed by the lack of loss... I am assuming I am not eating enough to match my active life style and my sleep has definitely been awful (around 4 hours a night)

daily goal 134❌2 -
My highest weight was 197# at 5’4”. I’m 48 years old.
I was 189# when I first started keto (1/1/18), and had gotten down to 150# before I let life interrupt me.

@nikki062181 Here is to meeting my goal in these 10 days. I was 17lbs from my goal weight and have since gained 17 additional pounds. That puts me 34lbs over. I went from 232 to 142lbs. I need to buckle down. I've lost 7.2 lbs out of that 17 so far. I have 3 mini goals on mind. My first mini goal is to break through that "glass ceiling" and get back into the 140's. If I could lose 1.9 lbs over the next 10 days, that would be amazing.
OSW: 232 lbs
CSW: 151.8 lbs
CGW: 149.9
UGW: 125 lbs
07/13 @ 8 151.4 I am making progress slowly but surely.
07/14 @ 8 151.4 Staying steady. There may be some difference in the scale tomorrow because I'll start getting up no later than 7 this coming week. I'm gradually adjusting back into my 5 a.m. wake up time for when I go back to work.
07/15 @ 8 151.6 This happened last round when the number starting creeping up by 2 oz each day. I hope this isn't the case this time. I also overslept. I forgot it was Sunday. I'll set my alarm for 7 for tomorrow.
07/16 @ 7 151.4 I was 80 calories shy of consuming all my calories and did not do well on my water. I am going to cut myself some slack though. I have been sick for a week.
07/17 @ 7 153.6 😮 ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE! I stayed within my calories. I exercised. I did struggle with water and had too many carbs. That could be it.
07/18 @ 8 152.6 I still don't know what's going on.
07/18 @ 7 153.8 😡
07/19 @ 7 152.6 I feel like a yo-yo. I am eating well. I went swimming. I put more steps than usual in. It was a good day.
07/20 @ 7 153.4 I am not feeling well at all and have an idea what has caused this HUGE jump in weight.
07/21 @ 7 154.6 I am still sick and in a lot of pain.0 -
