09/10 - 270.5 considering i had a pretty loose eating labor day weekend, I'm not to discouraged but more determined to drop a couple of pounds.
09/11 - 270.4 Staying pretty consistent, need to get some workout time in and move the needle down a bit.

Hi. My name is Trina. I've been back on MFP for a little over a year now, am down 69 pounds and just 2 pounds from my revised goal weight! Closing in on those final pounds!! I skipped town at the end of Round 86 to head north, visit my mom and drop my middle son off at college. Mom travelled back with me on the slow dilly dally route. She was going to stay thru my surgery, but....surgery date finally got scheduled for 9/24. So she will fly back to Connecticut tomorrow, my husband will take a week off after my surgery (double mastectomy) and then my mom will come back for 3-4 weeks just before he goes back to work. I have been exercising and eating mindfully the last two rounds, but haven't been logging food. I should get back to that, but I was happy to see that I've been sticking right around 129-130 the past week. Good luck everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/10 127 I'm getting maintenance-y, but with a lot of jiggle. I zipped into an ancient pair of size 4s yesterday and was floored that they fit. But I swear, I'm still flab-ola in so many places (belly, arms, back). I so need to tone up!
09/11 126.2 This is only because I didn't have time to eat much yesterday, barely 1000, as I'm helping to plan a funeral. At least I had a BLT (bacon lettuce tomato for our non-U.S. friends) and a good salad, so some decent nutrition there.

Thought I would check in earlier today instead of the last thing I do, half asleep. I am done eating for the day, although plan to get another 2-3k steps.
Did my second spin class today. It was a different teacher so I didn't like it as much. The one last week had routines that had a lot of variety, for the one today it was more pedal faster or slower. I still liked it and burned a lot of calories. I have a 3 hour telecon tomorrow (ugh) so I can't make my usual strength training class, I am torn between going another spin class with a different teacher (I am slightly obsessed, can you tell?) or working out on the weight machines at the gym. Since I am missing strength training I should probably do the weight machines. Sometimes I wish I could work out for 2 hours a day so I could do both strength training and cardio, but I just don't have the time with work and kids.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/10 – 187.4 – Up to start, but no surprise. Yesterday was exhausting, and I didn’t make the best food choices. Did much better today. Walked to the lake with my grandson after school, delighting in the easy conversation and the beauty of the late summer meadow. Now I’ve got the kettle on for some herb tea and will grade a few more assignments after I post this. Hope to get enough done that I can go down to the beach for a bit tomorrow.
09/11 – 186.0 – That looks better. Somber morning, but I did get to the beach after class. Didn’t get much walking in, but I had a lovely lunch with my mom, sister, and daughter.

09/10 133.2 – 7 miles walked yesterday; rain curtailed for most of the day
. Later we fly out to Crete so I don't think I will be able to weigh whilst away, but I'll check in everyday if I can.
09/11 DNW - 5 miles walked yesterday mostly round the airport! macros very slightly over, difficult to control when not self preparing meals ! Oh and scales in my room, but don't work, need new batteries, I've put request in to maintenance!!
09/12 DNW - no scale batteries yet. Walked 8.39 miles yesterday, some along the beach, estimated 150 miles over goal.

I'm new here, my first round. My personal challenge is to beat my personal best of losing weight 18 weeks in a row. I did that by eating the same thing most days. That corresponds to 12 rounds.
Tuesday 10th 87.6 salt affected, waist 102.5, I ate well but there was too much sugar, I didn't exercise, that'll happen on Sunday
Wednesday 11th 87.0 I ate pretty well, although again it's sugar which is the problem

Day/Weight/Comment
9/10: 223.8 (0.0)/18.9 (0.0). No change is a good thing. Feeling a little bloated and/or "off" this morning. Not sure what it is, but I know my wife is sick or getting sick. I probably did not make good food choices yesterday, but I stayed within my calorie goal. EDIT: In the interest of being completely accountable, I have to acknowledge that I am not feeling particulary motivated today. I was going to just ignore it (I didn't write about it in my first draft of my post), but I really don't want to "get lost" again. I need to be here, probably more on my bad days than my good.
9/11: 224.2 (+0.4)/18.9 (0.0). I'm going to chalk up this weigh-in to the mood I started out with yesterday. I think I recovered relatively well as the day went by, and I didn't make any horrible food choices (except the "later" night coconut paleta). I kind of needed that paleta; it was delicious! My wife and I will be headed to the gym tonight (she is feeling better @mrs_sutsie ). I'm mostly feeling better, too. The gym means I can get a salad tonight from Cook's Tortas, which is always an amazing experience (you know what I'm talking about @Anlaing016 ).

Time for a post holiday / kids back to school re-set.
My aim is to be back to my pre holiday weight of 133 less a pound or two by the end of September (end of round 90).
Target for this round is to get back to normal eating, logging everything, planning and prepping properly and getting my water intake back up - like many people, it all slipped a bit post holiday and with the kids being off. Target for this round is to see 136lb. This is my round to get re-focused
Start Weight 140.3lb
09/10 - 138.1lb (-2.2lb) Yay - that's some of the weekend roast gone - same every week and "excess" usually gone by mid week so hopefully I'll see another drop tomorrow morning. Good day planned today and like feeling a bit more back in control
09/11 - 137.3lb (-0.8lb) That'll do thank you! So pretty much back to where I was after my holidays so 3.5lb up overall as got to 133.8lb before my holiday. So onwards and downwards towards that number again - aiming to get back to 133lb by around the end of September (end of R90 / R91)
09/12 - 137.6lb (+0.3lb) Fine with this small upward blip as at least it means this weight is probably a true weight and my weight loss often goes down for a few days then a blip upwards. Food was all good yesterday although I did spend an hour just sitting in front of the TV yesterday when I got in from work doing absolutely nothing except drinking coffee which I never normally do as felt really tired
But first full week of the girls in their new schools and college plus hubby been away all week too so need to give myself a bit of a break!
Food planned along with a gym session tonight so should be a good day ahead

This is my 2nd round. Finished the last round poorly purely due to TOM, cake and wine.
Determined this time. Id love to get as close as possible to 140 this round.
10th Sept: 142.75. Happy with this drop from yesterdays high. Ate within calories, almost hit macros, and walked the dog when son was training so hit 13k steps.
11th Sept: 140.25. THRILLED with this drop, considering the weekend I've had last weekend. Hit 16k steps last night and did a piloxing class. I cannot wait to see the 130's on the scales. I know it'll fluctuate up and down but I cant help even imagining seeing 13x on the scales this round. Rest day today. Son has match again tonight, I'll still him my10k steps.
12th Sept: 139.75. Absolutely buzzing off my head. Haven't been here in 6 years. No exercise yesterday as son had match. Got 9k steps. Ate within calories. Planning on a run in the woods with the dogs tonight. Have chicken and spuds in the slow cooker for dinner tonight.

I was 189# when I first started keto (1/1/18), and had gotten down to 150# before I let life interrupt me.

Round 89 (my round 7)
9/10 - 155.5 - after 2 days of not weighing, it’s nice to see this drop. My SO thinks I’m not eating because I’m basically just eating OMAD. I’m eating when I’m hungry, just not as much as I used to and not giving in to all of the cravings. Craving fish, so that’s what’s coming out of the freezer for today.
9/11 (work) - 155.5 - better eating yesterday, better numbers today. Time to get ready for work!
9/12 (work) - 155.5 - full disclosure: the case manager at work has taffy & tootsie rolls in her office for all. I licked a piece of black licorice taffy & almost ate it, but threw it away instead. It was delicious! 😢 Weight steady, blood numbers better. More work today.8 -
@Scallyboo
Another RA person here! I was diagnosed at 29. I'm 40 now. I didn't go through the why me's especially the early years, I struggled to adjust and find the right meds. Now I'm doing great. I am on meds, I inject myself, but its just all part of me. I run, I gym, I cycle. I'm very active. People never believe I've RA. Of course I do get down sometimes but overall I don't let it take over my life.
[/quote]
That's great, I'm so glad you're stabilised enough to continue being active!! Same here, I also inject+mtx and no one's the wiser! Also took about 5 years to get the right treatment and still some ups and downs, but all together - cross fingers- no major relapses 4 -

09/10 194.6 (-0.2) not s great food day. Didn't measure or weigh my food and ended up eating crackers and cheese and meat sticks for dinner. Felt really off in general and unmotivated. Didn't do my workout. Trying to get back into routine tomorrow.
09/11 191.6 (-3.0) ok wow! That's quite a woosh! Got back to my workout program yesterday and good was a little in the low side. I've been drinking a time of water (like 150 oz.?) But I feel dehydrated this am. Strange. I was feeling kind of bloaty and puffy this am so didn't expect the drop but I'm glad because I was starting to get nervous that this wasn't going to work for me. (I know CICO is science and thus works for everyone, but the time it takes to see the trend and the bouncing weight levels makes me think it's not working and then I get sloppy and then it really doesn't work. Lol)
09/12 193 (+1.4). Ugh always with the up and down! 18K steps and workout yesterday. Was super hungry so ate most of my exercise calories back.

10/09 158.8 (0.0) 13.051 steps. Status quo yet again. Seems I’m stuck at this weight but it will eventually go down I’m sure. These are the times I find the hardest and when this group helps the most as I see from you all that I’m not the only one with really sloooowwww weight loss
11/09 158.0 (-0.8) 15.545 steps, yes a little loss there! I had a very good run yesterday as I went with a friend so it went much quicker! Calories I went over by 200 but – all healthy choices - still had a deficit of 667 cal. Today I might do an exercise dvd to keep up the exercise routine, especially as it’s raining quite hard.
12/09 158 (0.0) 9.755 steps … it’s was 10pm and I was in bed when I realized I was 250 steps short of my goal but honestly I couldn’t care less as I was shattered ! Food wise, it was a good day. I’m more tired lately as I’m getting up early to meditate before starting my day. Tonight, is W5R2 in my C25K training so I’m drinking my water and getting most of my calorie intake at least 2-3 hrs before my run, normally I just have some porridge or banana afterwards for recovery but I'm not hungry for a big meal.

09/12 - 159.6 - Well, apparently my check in yesterday didn't post? I couldn't find it. Yesterday was a really hard day emotionally. It was my first 9/11 not serving in uniform and oh boy did it make me miss the army so much. I ended up having several breakdowns throughout the day. Kept myself out of the office with meetings or volunteering to help out the rescue team and do some fire brigade demo'ing instead. I tried to do 110 flights for the firefighters who lost their lives that day. Only made it 30 flights with everything else going on. And I also gave blood and didn't want to overdo it. I'm SO sore today in my quads (lets me know my quad/glute is unbalanced and I'm not engaging my glutes enough) so I need to do 2 more iterations (to the top of the plant is about 20 flights) today and 2 tomorrow to complete my 110 flights. I'm not in the shape I was before and my spinal fusion will not allow me to do too much at once anyway. I'm still determined to complete it.
Food wasn't great yesterday. Ended up getting pizza for dinner with my neighbors. But I have my throw-together leftovers (kielbasa, mixed veggies, and thin-sliced potato) today for lunch and I believe I'm going to lunch with a vendor today. Must make good choices! Think I'll have half my small thing of throw-together before lunch to break my fast and maybe the other half as a small snack after lunch if I behave and portion properly and get hungry. Hoping, since its mostly vegetables, it will help fill me up before lunch enough I can't possibly overeat. I know this drop is water weight and from giving blood so I want to try to maintain it as I recover and get down to my lower weight from previous rounds. More water today, too, as I've slacked on that HARD.

Previous Day's Comments09/10 - Way backwards movement. But I did cave to anxiety eating a Sonic Blast last night which never bodes well for the tummy (lactose sensitive). I'm still feeling the bloat today. Plus I have a bit of DOMS from my first workout in awhile yesterday. Need to get right today. Coworker and I both want to lose 20lbs and we are almost identical in BF%, weight, and clothing size. Hopefully the anxiety I'm already feeling goes away quickly today.

12: 223.8 YIKES!! I expected a gain, but maybe not that much. It's all good though. It'll be down again within a few days. I enjoyed some thin crust veggie pizza at my daughter's soccer game. I didn't overeat, but it was definitely a calorie bomb.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/10 - 141
09/11 – 140.5 – I had a fasting medical test on my gallbladder yesterday morning. Part of the test is injecting me with a chemical that mimics eating a meal. The tech asked me my weight and before I could tell him, he looked me straight in the eyes and said “It’s very important you give me the correct weight since this dose has to be calibrated with a meal.” I almost laughed out loud. I wanted to say that I’ve been telling dozens of people what I really weigh every day for the past year and a half, but I simply told him I weighed 141 that morning. This exchange once again reminded me of how important this group has been to me in being able to stay accountable and lose and maintain my weight loss over the past 18 months.
09/12 – 141 – Fine with this.

Texan, 5'4", turning over a new leaf for the fall (pun intended). I bought an exercise bike!
New to the rounds, and looking forward to this round to jump start my exercise program. Cheering myself on! I have very old knees, and the exercise bike is my first step at getting stronger. I have to build from where I am. Had a lot of hidden salt in food the past few days, causing the scale to fluctuate wildly. So, I am ignoring the scale.
I will weigh in 9/10, and just go from there.
Goal for Round 89, Lose 2 pounds from wherever I am on 9/10.
Day/Weight/Comment
9/10 250.4 Holding onto about 3 lbs. of water from salt. Let it begin! Goal today 1400 cal., 30 min. bike.
9/11 248.6 Still retaining water. I think a 2 lb. “real” loss would be right around 243 on 9.19. We’ll see.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/10 -200lbs- I am ordering my new scale today so I can monitor my weight better. Got my walk in early this morning because it is going to be 95 degrees here today and it doesn't cool down until after dark. I am not generally a morning person but I have to admit that the slight crispness in the early morning air is very nice!
09/11 -199lbs- Walk was a bit slower today. I am counting this as a rest day. Calorie intake and logging was good yesterday. I am thinking about joining a gym because winter will be here eventually and while I love my walks I hate being cold!
09/12 -199lbs- My new scales should be here today! I felt really shaky yesterday. Don't know why. I did make sure I ate back some of my exercise calories and nutrition looked pretty good...I do feel better today and had a great walk this morning. I am worth this effort and so are YOU!
