UGW: 153
I am FOCUSED on heathy food choices and DETERMINED to achieve my goals!
01/08: 167.8: Goals: 🌻 Have been steadily discarding holiday baggage since Saturday. Slowly but surely, it's shifting.
02/08: 167.8: Goals: 🌻 Holding steady is good.
03/08: 167.5: Goals: 🌻 Oops! Yesterday was a typo. I have fixed it.
04/08: 167.4: Goals: 🌻 Still in the right direction.
05/08: 167.2: Goals: 🌻 Little by little! 😂
06/08: 167.4: Goals: 🌻 Normal fluctuation. Balancing muscle increase and weight loss is difficult. Lol!
07/08: 167.4: Goals: 🌻 Holding steady despite all the strength work yesterday.
08/08: 166.9: Goals: 🌻 Yay!!! Over 1 lb since end of last round.
09/08: 166.4: Goals: 🌻 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 One more day to stay on track!
Round 83: (Last round I posted for)Fri 12/07: 163.6: Goals: ✅ Still holding steady.Round 82:
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!
Wed 17/07: 164.2: Goals: ✅ Normal fluctuation. Still keeping strong.
Thu 18/07: 163.9: Goals: ✅normal fluctuations.
Fri 19/07: 164.1: Goals: ✅Normal fluctuations!
Sat 20/07: 163.8: Goals ✅
With muscle %age improving, I'm happy that the scale is not increasing. I have no scale this week as I am on holiday, so I will give Round 84 a miss. Will be back with you for Round 85.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.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Round 85 (9 for me)
Lots to do this round. Starting off with a weekend road trip before wrapping up my summer teaching and preparing for our big summer party. I fell behind on logging and posting last round, but I’m determined to stay on track this time to keep from falling back into bad habits.

Day/Weight/Comment
08/01 187.2 – Off to a good start with a nice little drop. Busy morning, so I only had time for coffee before class. On the way home, I stopped for gas and then at the farm stand to pick up a few pots of zinnias to refresh the garden beds. I was ravenous by the time I got to my mom’s for lunch. Fortunately, I had some extra calories to spend. Goals met today!
08/02 187.2 – Got a lot accomplished in the house and garden before I got on the road. So it was another busy morning, but this time I made sure to have a decent breakfast so I’d be less tempted by all the high-calorie rest stop offerings. BBQ for dinner, but I stayed under my calorie limit and met all my goals again today.
08/03 No scale – Having a wonderful time visiting family for our traditional summer crab feast. A bit over on calories and a lot over on salt, but I know I can get back on track and deal with a bounce in the week ahead.
08/04 No scale – Wrapped up a lovely weekend with a long ride home. Too much salt and not enough water, but I managed to just stay under my calorie limit. Back to work (and the daily weigh-ins) tomorrow morning!
08/05 187.8 – Okay, there’s that post-weekend bump. I’ve got my work cut out for me this week. Worked for an hour or so in the garden after class but didn’t get much done in the house. I’ve got papers to grade and a quiz to make up tonight, so it’s going to be a long one.
08/06 187.2 – Better. Met my goals today, but I still have a ton of stuff to do before the end of the week. Thunderstorms predicted for tomorrow, so I’ll focus on finishing up some of the indoor stuff and hope the garden gets a good soaking.
08/07 186.4 – The rain did indeed water the garden. We got over 2 inches! Heavy thunderstorms all day brought some wind, but thankfully the power stayed on. Met my goals, but I’m feeling a little burnt out and unfocused. Just need to make one last push to finish the grading and then get some sleep. Last day of classes tomorrow, and then I’m off through Labor Day!
08/08 186.0. – Another nice little drop, building my confidence that, yes, I can stay on track even when things get hectic. Taking a bit of time to log my food and post here really helped me keep my goals in mind. Now that classes are done, I can relax a bit and enjoy my company this weekend. Well under my calorie limit the last couple of days (too busy to spend much time on meals) so maybe that will give me a little wiggle room for sangria this weekend.
08/09 184.6 - !!! I’m thinking this is a false low, since I slept in and weighed later than usual. I also drank a LOT of caffeinated tea last night while waiting for my son’s delayed flight, so some or all of this drop is probably water. The flight was over 3 hours late due to weather, but I got some extra chores done before I finally headed to the airport. Today was busy – lots of errands and party set-up. Under calorie limit but way over on sodium (take-out lunch and dinner), so I expect to see a bump tomorrow.

1: DNW Was in a hurry to get out the door this morning, and we're out of town until tomorrow night. I did ok with food today. I have a huge deficit because we did a lot of walking, but my carbs were high. I've got plans for a Jucy Lucy tomorrow, so I've got plan my day around that. Lots of walking again though!
2: DNW Out of town. Getting ready to take a nice long walk around one of the many lakes in Minneapolis. Food is planned out for the day with some wiggle room even before Fitbit gives me an extra calorie allowance.
3: 233.4 Gone for two days; down a pound... I'll take it!

6: 232.7
7: 232.6
8: 231.6 Carb intake over the last few days was pretty much the same, but the timing was different. I'm finding that the bulk of my carbs need to be eaten before my last meal of the day.

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.6 -
This is first round for me. Starting a few days late, but started back on mfp on August 1st after stepping on the scale. Currently at my highest adult weight without being pregnant. Had my baby 1 year 5 months ago. Had lots of time to lose, but clearly didn't.
Age 31, 5'4
SW: 182
GW for round 85: 180
UGW: 145
08/01 -182lbs. Saw this weight and knew I needed to make changes. Back on mfp to log. Signed up for beachbody on demand.
08/02- didn't weigh. Logged all foods and did bbod day 1. Did go out for a date night and had a few drinks with a big supper. But ate very light prior to. It was the first time in 2 years my hubby and I had a real date night. 🤷♀️
08/03- didn't weigh. Did day 2 bbod. Logged all foods. Feeling very motivated.
08/04- 180.2. Wow, I hope today's weight wasn't a fluke and it sticks! Did day 3 bb workout and ate well.
08/05 - 179.6. Day 4 bbod plus about 45 mins of yardwork today. 😊
08/06- 179.0. Day 5 bbod. Went a little over calorie goals today.
08/07- 179.8. Up a little, likely due to yesterday's pizza supper. Today is day 7 of bbod, which is rest day, but I am doing plenty of housework in preparation of company coming tomorrow.
08/08- didn't weigh. Had to estimate some food portions, since having company had me less careful than usual. However, I think I stayed within my range. Did day 8 of bbod. Need to drink more water, the past 2 days I haven't done well with water drinking.
08/09 -177.2. Excited about the numbers, even though I'm guessing this is a bit of a low fluctuation. Day 9 bbod had 2 workouts in the calendar, but decided on 1. Didn't have the energy for 2 today. 🤷♀️

Day/Weight/Comment
08/01 140, I can’t believe this is my 20th round! Took a barre class yesterday and made it through. It was like hot barre because the weather in Maui is so warm so my Fitbit showed 100 calories more burned than a usual barre class. Heading to a tennis lesson. I’m always very positive at the beginning of a month and despite 5-6 lbs being difficult to get to in a month with 20 lbs to go, it’s not impossible with good choices
08/02 140, stayed the same, but need to drink more. I had 92 ounces, but still work up thirsty. Humidity is no joke especially if you aren’t used to it.
08/03 139.9, slow and steady but great to see a number in the 130s. I head back home on Monday, so have a few days left to get back to normal routine before the end of the round.
08/04 139.8, I’ve been eating really well and drinking less alcoholic beverages than usual (all the drinks here are really sugary and with it being so hot, been drinking almost exclusively water). I’m hoping to see a drop after the 7th (first full day back), because I’m a bit confused why haven’t dropped more this week unless it’s water retention.
08/05 139.8, weight from this morning. Just landed from 6 hour flight and didn’t eat very well and didn’t exercise so hoping not too much fallout tomorrow. My TOM is Wednesday so still optimistic a lot of the weight I may gain over the next few days will be water weight and can end round at or closer to 138.5
08/06 139.9, back home and will be back on schedule today food and exercise wise.
08/07 139.8, didn’t sleep well last night, but should be back to normal tomorrow.
08/08 139.5, hoping sleep schedule will be back to normal soon. Monday I didn’t get home and to sleep until 3:30 and haven’t been able to sleep more than 5 hours straight since. Slept better last night, so confident it will be soon.
08/09 138, wasn’t expecting to see this number so it’s a pleasant surprise! Today is the start of a 3 day music festival so will be up tomorrow but glad to see a new number this round even if don’t end at it.

I know what I'm doing wrong, I know how to do it right, now the challenge is the discipline to do it right.
This round is going to be very boozy, friends here for a few days, then going to Germany for a wedding... But life will always happen so I need to be able to navigate it.
Today was not the day, completely lost it, stopped logging, ate badly, drank wine. New try on Sunday,I just try not to go overboard Fri&Sat

I forgot to post this morning. Good day yesterday and today, resisted the LNS temptations both days, so that's a win. And I got up for a run this morning despite being tired.
Went for dinner with DH, so estimated all generously, but should be well within, even with the small beer I gave in to.

Okay, been there before, but the trend is down again. Today, lunch will be estimated as my boss is taking us out. I'm quite sore from running 2 days.
Estimated a lot today, and needed some chocolate after work. While I didn't eat my breakfast, i did have an apple quite early,so my eating window is rather long.
Went for an evening walk while DH was cooking dinner and forgot to take my fitbit off charge, D'oh.but I think I got my 10k steps done. It will just not show in my weekly total.
Wait for TOM has started while wait for TMI has finally come to an end.
The next few days will be tough with wedding and birthday celebrations, but I'll take my yoga mat, running gear and scales to stay accountable.

Luckily, i have shoes at my parents, which I can collect today. But no weigh ins until next round.

Went for a great run yesterday, I recently started running guided runs in the nike app and am so positively surprised.
I didn't log food as it was all prepared/restaurant, but didn't go crazy with anything, but had a few drinks. But I burned 1300 cals, so I think i was ok.
Weighed with clothes after lunch at 73.0, which I think also means I'm still ok.
Today will be calorie heavy, but we should be dancing it all off in the evening 👰🤵🍾🥂🎂

Goal for this round: 4lbs
08/01: 212. Facing the reality of a 10lbs gain since April. Need to shake it off & lose it & continue losing as much as possible until vacation in October
08/02:210.8. Finally had an on track day! Caught a cold & TOM, but managed hot Yoga & did not snack.
08/03:211.8. Not sure why I popped back up. Could be the store bought soup DH brought for me because I am sick. We are having a party today so it is a free day. Hopefully the scale is kind…
08/04: 212.8. Oops the scale was not kind. No biggie. I know lack of sleep, is the biggest factor here. I am debating starting a 3 day fast to see if I can kick this cold to the curb…
08/05: 210. I didn’t fast yesterday. We spent the day cleaning up from the party & relaxing. I got a pretty good night sleep which is reflected on the scale
08/06:. 210. I ate well yesterday & went to hot yoga. . I probably would have had a drop on the scale if I had slept. I had a horrible night sleep & have to work today.
08/07: 210! Three days in a row! I will drink more water today & be more active to see a little more movement on the scale
08/08: 208.6. A tiny whoosh. Happy to be rid of it. I might even meet my goal this round.
08/09: 207.4. Great day yesterday. One little snack of celery. I will have another great day and hopefully keep this good loss.
08/10: 208.8! Well that sucks! I probably had my best day yesterday. I ate supper a little late, but my macros were on point & I exercised. Oh well. That means I only lost 3.2lbs & didn’t reach my goal. Hopefully I can make up for it next round.

08/05 – 190.0 - starting again. I’ve gained 5 pounds, but kept 10 off. I’ll be working on C25K three days a week. Signing up for a 5K on Oct. 26.
08/06 – 188.9 – good start. Recorded all food, no alcohol, drank all my water, and did first day of C25K.
08/07 – 187.6 – so excited. I’m sure this won’t continue as fast, but I need to keep recording. No exercise yesterday, but I did stand more at my desk.
08/08 – 187.0 – Getting back down to where I was a few months ago. Recorded all food, no alcohol, drank all my water, and did the second day of C25K.
08/09 – 187.8 – was afraid of this. Recorded all my food, drank all my water, and didn’t have alcohol, but didn’t exercise and eat out. Made better choices about food, but not the best.
08/10 – 188.7 – knew this was coming. It was my husband’s birthday and it was very easy to fall back into old habits. At least I ended up down for the challenge.

SW: 205.5
Goal: 201.5
Goal: Improve Sleep
8/01 203.7 lbs 6h27m/82/10:23pm Triple checked that weight, still not sure it's accurate. I will check again at the gym later. Good sleep quality, just not enough. Sore muscles, excellent mood.
*New ink!*
8/02 205.1 lbs 6h50m/81/10:35pm. This weight seems more likely... my scale may need a new battery. Good training session yesterday, but the rest if the day seemed meh. Feel like I need another few hours of sleep.... GOT to get to bed earlier.
8/03 203.5 lbs 6h41m/78/10:41pm Maybe yesterday was the fluke weight? Water weight? Whatever... a new battery for the scale is on the errands list. Had a quiet day and got some sad news. Took a nap instead of eating.
8/04 203.1 lbs 5h40m/76/11:18pm Hot sweaty day left me wrung out but keyed up. Adoption event conflicted with my normal Saturday BodyFlow class, so I'm going to get to one today.
8/05 201.7 5h37m/75/11:28pm Never made it to BodyFlow, but did get a lot of housework done; I did try to get to bed earlier - but just wasn't sleepy enough, ended up reading.
8/06 200.1 lbs 5h35m/73/11:41pm Every day, I go to bed a little later, get a little less sleep, sleep score drops; dealing with some stuff that is clearly affecting me.
Had a good session with my trainer, but my "stuff" and my ever degrading sleep quality are sinking my mood.
8/07 200.3lbs 3h24m/59/1:46am Can't even blame Zumba for the poor sleep. Argh!
8/08 199.7 lbs 4h12m/62/1:18am -
ONE-derland!
8/09 199.3 lbs 5h22m/?/12:00am... took my tracker off to put lotion on and forgot to put it back on. So that's how my day started...
8/10 200.5 lbs 5hr27m/73/12:55am Completely worth it. Back up a bit, but enjoyed my evening so much.
Made goal weight but sleep was not enough of a priority. Long term weight loss and muscle gain will suffer if I can't get the sleep issue under control.
See you all in 86!8 -

I usually look at the month goals so much that I forget to savor what I’m accomplishing in shorter periods. Persistence and those daily choices will get us where we want to be.

8/6-168-
8/7-166-That just goes to show how much garbage I ate over the weekend 🙄. I got my 7 mile walk in and drank lots of water.
8/8-167-Salty food and only got 1/2 of my walk in. Finally it’s cool in the evening for another short walk.
8/9/165-Better food choices, big walk and water.I’m off to yoga this morning, hoping to stretch my legs good after my horseback riding Monday and my big walks this week.
8/10-168-Heavy dinner, no walk yesterday. Today I will do a bunch of weed whacking. I packed a lot of water. I was able to get back on track this round and I feel confident about the next round.
It’s nice to have all of you here!!!🌸☕️6 -
Back again. I've been backsliding (can you slide up?) since Dec. and it stops now, no more excuses. So new plan & goals....
Food -- cut out added sugars & flour products; focus on healthy plant-based foods with some fish & chicken. Calorie goal ~1200.
Exercise -- Aim for a 4-6 mile walk most days; weights either working in garden/house or at gym.
Weight -- I don't like to set weight goals since I can control only what I eat & do, not what I weigh. However, my aim this round is to be consistently below 160, and my goal for Aug. is to be below 155.

8/1 - 163.8
OK, I seriously considered fibbing about this. But I did not gain 2.8 pounds overnight, so this is water. Still, though, terrifying. But I'm serious now -- new month, new plan, new goals, new attitude. I'm also going to aim for no evening snacks. I've been eating way too many calories between 9-11 pm. If my cat will let me, I think I'll knit to keep my hands occupied. If he won't, I'll sit on them.
If I don't have a downward trend over the next 10 day, please, someone, kick my butt.
8/2 - 161.8
I did pretty well yesterday, but I'm still working on my garden (now laying edging and mulch, painting furniture, transplanting plants, ....) and I'm HUNGRY in the evening. I did stick to pretty healthy snacks last night, though. One step at a time. And I'm so happy about my back yard transformation! I'm next.

Wowser — this round whizzed by. I’m disappointed in myself for not losing. OTOH, I must be burning a fair number of calories because I’ve been eating more than I plan, but holding steady. I know I’ve set my cal goal too low because I always exceed it, so I’m rethinking that goal for next round. And choices. See you in R86!

8/6:200.0 - Finally! A little progress!
8/7:198.8 - Alright!! Now we’re cookin’ with gas!!😀
8/8: Did not weigh in.
8/9:202.4 - Whaaaaaat??? 😫
8/10: 198.4 - All is right in the world again😀. My husband was complaining that the scale was wacky. Apparently one of the feet fell off the scale. We glued it back on and it seems to be ok for now. May be time to get a new scale.

08/01 - 238.2 - minus a pound from yesterday and feeling good about this round! Pretty decent on eating (went to happy hour with some colleagues last night and had a couple of glasses of wine) and continuing today, really want to stay under my calorie goal.
08/02 - 238.6 - I don’t even know 🤷🏾♀️ will do an at home workout today; planned my meals for the day... just going to keep trying to make each day as good as or better than the one before... can’t give up.
08/03 - 235.7 - yay movement!! Heading to the gym then out and about. Making it my mission to stick to the plan this weekend!
08/04 - 235.3 - stayed down! Don’t expect any negative movement tomorrow due to lazy weekend with some cheats thrown in.
08/05 - 236.3 - expected a bounce off of the weekend; not going to lose my mind over it (trying not to!!!!!!!); Did not make it to the gym yesterday but DO plan on doing an at-home workout and will hit the gym in the morning before work! If I can end this 10-days under 235 I will be soooo happy!
08/06 - 236.6 - heading to a concert tonight; it’s at a restaurant so will make a healthy choice for my meal. I am down 2.6lbs this round, keeping that front of mind!
08/07 - DNW - mostly intentionally; but was also running late this morning and outside of my routine so it was easy to stay away from the scale haha; haven’t made the best choices today but still within my calorie limit and determined to finish the day strong (just going to make it a bit of an uphill battle for myself this evening); about to do an at home workout before dinner.
08/08 - 238.1 - definitely in a place where daily weighing may be counter productive - hard to feel good about making better decisions and being consistent these past several weeks when the scale literally refuses to go in the right direction. Heading to the gym, will fight hard today to not let this ruin my day.
08/09 - 235.7 - definitely was fighting a freak out yesterday but really happy to see the scale stop hating me 😂 will do an at home workout today since I over-slept my gym alarm this morning. Ate okay yesterday; at a deficit and under my daily goal but made some questionable choices throughout the day; want to be on point today, that’s my goal.
08/10 - 236 - I’ll take it. That is 3.2lbs lost this round. This weekend taking on a home project so hopefully that will keep me away from snacking/cheating; I really want to see 234 next round!7 -

08/01 - 209.4 up a little, not sure why, I ate so lightly yesterday because my cold has killed my appetite. Oh well, feeling better today and able to actually do some work again 😊 ate healthy but didnt workout.. still a little sick. But otherwise, great day! Still psyched about my progress
08/02 - 208.6 feeling much better, went to work and the gym for the first time all week! Stuck to my calorie goals well and feeling very proud of myself
08/03 - 207.6 so tired this morning... Woke up hours earlier than I needed to. Went on a hike w friends which was fun but way too hot and sunny. Spent a lot of the day hydrating. Did a good job sticking to diet
08/04 - 207.2 omg! The lowest weight I've been in a year. So happy 🤩 didn't exercise, taking a rest day to be ready for personal training tomorrow. Stuck to calorie goals well even though fh got me some keto ice cream. It was delicious
08/05 - 208.6 uh oh... Why is the scale up so much? I stayed under calories. Maybe from the ice cream? Hoping it goes down tomorrow. Had a great personal training session and stayed welllll below calories so hopefully I turn it back around tomorrow.
08/06 - 209 even higher and I feel so bloated. I'm not sure why the scale is up even more today when I ate so little yesterday and exercised a lot. Hopefully this is just an anomalous flux and I'll get back to losing soon. I just get scared bc with PCOS issues, every time I start a new diet it works for a week or two and then stops even when I stick to it. I really hope that's not what is happening right now. Sticking to my calories really well today and went to the gym which is always a win. Fingers crossed this weight loss trajectory turns around soon
08/07 - 207.4... back down. Would be psyched but there's a catch. Got food poisoning or something and spent all last night throwing up and all of today in bed barely eating, trying not to get sick again. Not placing much stock in today or tomorrow's number but hoping to feel better soon and to keep losing once health returns. No exercise, way under calorie/macro goals
08/08 - 208.4... back up. Probably where I was all along and the food poisoning yesterday just made it go down more. Feeling much better today. Stuck to nutritional goals and exercised super hard at tye gym w weight lifting and 40 min intense exercise. Hoping for a drop tomorrow...
08/09 - 209 😭 honestly, I just don't understand. I was getting such good results with keto for the first two weeks and now it's like no matter what I do, even sticking to my macro and calorie targets and exercising a lot, my weight goes up. Maybe this PCOS just wont let me lose even on this super low carb diet. Will stick to my diet today but no exercise planned as I'm presenting at a conference all day. Fingers crossed for a loss tomorrow
08/10 - 208.5! Well, I get to end this round with a bit of a loss, which is excellent. Looking forward to next round where hopefully I can keep working hard and get closer to my goal of a 2lb loss. Kayaked today and have all my meals planned for the day so hopefully will do well w sticking to my nutritional goals. Onwards and upwards into Round 86...7 -

@Anlaing016 You say you are frustrated because you have been “doing super good” but if you read back over your posts of the days earlier this round, the information does not support that statement. I’m not trying to be nasty, just realistic. Really examine your food and exercise diaries.4

08/02 - 183.2 - this seems to be the norm right now bouncing around between 180 and 185.

08/04 - 184.0 - I was expecting this to be higher actually.
08/05 -186.6 - there is the higher I was expecting
08/06 - 184.8 - I need to behave like this everyday.
08/07 -185.0 - yesterday was an epic failure all to be kind and polite
08/08 - 184.4 - I was not very hungry yesterday after having two suppers the day before.
08/09 - 183.8
08/10 - 183.2 - ending better than when I started is a good thing. I didn’t have a perfect diet this round and still not able to exercise but it was better than I have been doing.8 -
Back again! Saw 141.7 last round once so I would like to get back down to that this round. Goals are to stay under 145.0 and drop my 10 day average again. I would also like to see a new low, but the last round I dropped 4 pounds and bounced around a lot. So this round I would be happy just to stabilize at 141/142.

08/01- 143.7 still holding onto Tuesday nights date night. Was hoping I would drop, but still hanging out here. Was on track all day yesterday and so far today I have been good. I have dinner planned tonight and we will be watching the first football game of the season, so should be relaxing for the most part.
08/02- 142.2 this is more where I thought I should have been the last couple of days. My 5 day average is the lowest it has been and maybe I will hit a new low tomorrow on my "official weigh in day". Last Saturday I weighed in at 141.7, so we will see what it says tomorrow. Dinner is in the crock pot and planned and so far today I have been on track. Took my daughter (my middle child) to go and register for her senior year of high school and get her schedule. Can't believe I will have another one graduating this year.
08/03- 142.2 way to many beers last night again. I have to get it together. I have done that twice now this week. I pretty much drank my calories last night, which is not doing anything for my weight loss. Had a good time, but isn’t going to help me lose these last couple of pounds and get into the 130’s. Water, water, no alcohol, and eat right today and maybe I will see a drop by Monday.
08/04- 142.2 Holding steady. Going to see Hobbs and Shaw with the hubby today and probably grab some lunch. We have to do a couple of maintenance things around the house this morning and buy a new lawn mower. So hopefully I can stay on tack and start getting it together.
08/05- 144.6 did not keep it together at all yesterday. Food was spot on, but had a couple of drinks at the movies and then a couple of more at dinner after the movies. I think I am replacing food with liquor. I am trying really hard not to snack and instead I am noticing I am drinking more. We did not buy popcorn or candy while at the movies because I didn't want the extra calories, but instead ended up drinking my beers faster and having more than normal. So this week I am going to have to switch something up.
08/06- 144.0 was on track all day yesterday. Still up from Sunday and Fridays shenanigans, but should be back down by tomorrow. Looking to finish this round strong, but have had numerous days where I was slacking and less days that I was working in this 10 day challenge. So I am trying to change that now. 4 days left to get back to 141 and it's easily doable if I stick to it and not mess up the next couple of days.
08/07- 142.1 Back down again. On track for today and meals are planned. Looking to drop again tomorrow, but we will see what happens. I never know anymore what that stupid scale will say in the am, lol. If I can hang out at around 141.xx for the rest of the challenge and stabilize I will be happy.
08/08- 142.1 I was expecting to be lower this morning, but I am the same. Usually I have a 3 pounds difference in my weight from when I weigh at night and the next morning. Last night I weighed 144.0, so I should have been 141.xx, but obviously I didn't. Was on track all day and have everything planned today. Happy with my progress and looking to finish up the round strong!
08/09- 140.8 well I finally got a new low this morning! My next happy scale milestone was actually 140.7, so close, but no cigar. I am sure I will have a bounce up tomorrow because this was a pretty good drop, but it will be a nice way to end this round if I can maintain it tomorrow. I really wanted to treat myself today for almost finishing the 140's decade with a nice big lunch out or a big calorie splurge, but instead chose to go and get a pedicure on my lunch break. I have red chili enchiladas in the crock pot for dinner tonight and the last couple of times as long as I do mine like a salad instead of with tortillas and all the cheese I have been fine. We will see what happens on the scale tomorrow. Pretty happy with my progress the last couple of rounds. 1 more day, stay strong tonight!
08/10- 139.6 I’m not complaining, but I’m not believing this new weight either. I don’t know if I may be a little dehydrated or what is going on. This has been 2 huge drops in the last couple of days and I never drop like this. We will see what happens the next couple of days. I’m not going to lie, I really liked seeing the new decade this morning.10 -
@betsychange Congratulations on getting to onederland! 🎉👏🎈
@debbie7373 Have you tried flexing your foot a few times before you stand up? I don’t know if it will work for you, but it does minimize the pain for me, sadly it doesn’t eliminate it fully.
@Anlaing016 Bounces are going to happen, sometimes for no reason that we can discern. I will sometimes see a bounce two to three days after an off/higher activity/etc day. It’s very frustrating especially at first but over time you’ll be able to predict your bounces and they won’t be so surprising. Hang in there you can do this.
@untrachelable I’ll see a bounce up for a few days after being sick. I think our bodies like to hoard water after illness. Hang in there.5 -

OSW 382.0
RSW 303.4
This round might be a little rough, my birthday, my husband’s new job/schedule, and my usual pre-tom water weight stall fall in this round. I have pre-planned my birthday to stay on track, but sadly there is little I can do about hormones, or work schedules, so I’ll just have to stay on track and wait.
8/1 303.0 A nice start to the round. I’m hopeful of getting down a little more before the tom stall starts.
8/2 302.0 I wasn’t expecting this drop. I did extra weights yesterday and thought I would have a bounce or maintain. This makes a total of 80 pounds lost this year and I’m inching ever closer toward my next goal.
8/3 301.6 The trick this weekend is to stay on track even with my birthday tomorrow. We have a little extra money and it’s hard not to say let’s just go out. But I’m only two pounds from my next big goal and while I won’t make it there tomorrow I know that I will soon.
8/4 304.8 So for my birthday I got a 3.2 pound gain of water weight. I’ve been on track so I know that it has to be a water bounce from some source or another. I’ll be back down whenever this is passes.
8/5 304.2 I stayed on track and mostly on plan yesterday. I ate into my activity calories by 100 to have a cupcake that my daughter insisted had to be bought for me.
Because I was up yesterday I took the plunge and weighed at an earlier time that works better for the new household schedule. It’s all good though and while I didn’t account for a bounce up I knew this round would see some trouble with losing. Thankfully I don’t have anything else major happening until the end of the month so once tom comes the weight will go.
8/6 305.2 Wrong way again. I’ve had this happen before and it’s a matter of waiting it out because afterwards I have several big drops. I’m on track, though a little carb heavy last night , so I know that this is temporary.
8/7 304.8 I’m staying on track with calories, my food plan not so much. It’s okay though it’s more important to me to stay on track calorie wise than macro wise. The cravings for chocolate will pass. Tom, if on time, should show up in the next few days.
8/8 304.2 Right direction. I was on track with everything yesterday and got a few nice walks in
8/9 302.8 I wasn’t expecting this drop, but it’s nice and hopefully just the start of several more.
8/10 301.6 And back to my low from earlier in the round. I’m still not fully sure what caused the initial bounce, but I knew that if I was patient it would go. I’m happy with the loss I had this round, I knew at the onset that I wouldn’t lose as much this time.

NEVER GIVE UP! You can surprise yourself! I have.
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

8/1 119.5 Did beef and butter fast yesterday in support of my daughter. I really don’t want to lose more weight. Will see how these 3 days go. Going to the gym and the pool today and sewing.
8/2 120.5 Added a salad and some veg to my beef and butter. Went to the gym but it was raining so no pool and sun - until after we were home and showered! And it’s raining right now!

8/9 120.5 I fly home in 3 days. I need to finish the 2 sewing projects I brought with me!
8/10 120.5 I’m a little stunned by my consistency this round but I’ll take it! Flying home Monday. @Mbabydoll has a freezer well stocked with Keto meals to keep her on track for the remainder of her recovery or when she goes back to work.
Don’t forget to join us tomorrow on Round 86!

I’m still battling TOM water retention with swollen legs so the pool looked fabulous last night. All the first week lunches and treats should die down now and start getting to a normal work routine, at least by mid-week. So, hoping for some drops next week.
