69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

Day/Weight/Comment:

09/10:209.8 Hardly drank any water yesterday and hardly drank any water today. I ate 2 snacks yesterday evening and even though I had the calories for the 2nd snack I wasn't hungry and I only ate it because I had the calories...need to work on that.
09/11:209.4 Was busy at work again and didn't drink as much water as I should have. Went out to lunch today and met with my strength coach.
09/12:208.5 Had a great workout yesterday, but the dog woke me up early this morning so sleep wasn't great. It was a busy week in court this week, so I left work early today. I'm going to take the dog on a short hike this afternoon as it looks like this will be the last sunny day for awhile.
09/13:208.7 Even though I had another night of horrible sleep, I still went to the gym at 6 this morning. Movie and dinner tonight, so I wanted to make sure I got my workout in this morning.
09/14:208.1 Went out to dinner last night and going out to a movie today. I'm kind of surprised about the drop in weight today because I thought there would be instant water retention from dinner last night, and the fact that I didn't drink much water yeseterday, but it could also show up on the scale tomorow. Goal is to get water in today.
09/15:209.2 Uptick is due to movie popcorn and lack of water. Strength coach today. It will be raining all day so plan is to watch football and do things around the house including finish putting up pictures over the fireplace.
09/16: 208.5 There goes some of the water weight. My husband started up again on MFP about three weeks ago, he hasn't weighed himself since he started, and this morning he weighed himself and realized that he had lost 15lbs! He also started weight training with his PT. I am very excited for him.
09/17:208.1 There goes the rest of the water weight, but I did do some extra snacking yesterday even though I wasn't hungry. Supposed to go to a book club meeting tonight...it's the first time I've been able to actually finish the book so I think I should go.

Day/Weight/Comment

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.
09/12 - 269.8
09/13 - 268.0 probably dropped some water weight plus had not eaten in several hours when I weighed in. My goal is to keep the focus over the weekend which will be difficult because we are out of town and not cooking our own food. But it comes down to making good choices, its my call.
09/14 - no weigh in traveling
09/15 - no weigh in traveling
09/16 - 268.7 after a busy weekend away from home, eating out, etc, I will take this weigh in and be happy.
09/17 - 267.9 moving in the right direction, I LIKE IT! YESSSSSS! It's hard but i gotta do this thing. Onward!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/10 • N/A • Missed the kick off date. Walked 1 hr around the Maribynong River.

09/11 • 77.0 • Last week I weighed at 77.3 so pretty wrapt to have lost a little over this week with my spotty eatting and walking while setting up! Walked 1hr, Maribynong River.

09/12 • 77.7 (+0.7) • I didn't organise myself last night and ended up eatting SO much popcorn at the movies in place of dinner. Not surprised I'm up a lot with all the salt 😪 Did a 6km/1 hr walk at the local reserve. Going to ask my sister to help me work out Macros & Calories I should be eatting to tonight! No more popcorn...

09/13 • 78.0 (+1.0) • Might be water weight from increase in water consumption yesterday. I'm still setting up nutrition wise which is why I set myself a low loss goal anyway. I noticed a change in my leg shape today from my walking (I started walking 3 weeks ago, changing nutrition began this week) so it's not all bad 2.5 hour walk around Dights Falls.

09/14 ● Missed logging, had work out of the blue which was quite physical (moving furniture etc) but no walk.

09/15 ● Missed logging, but sinday is my rest day so no walking. Also hurt my back Saturday so I'm a bit frustrated. Gotta be more careful when I'm lifting at work.

09/16 • 75.6 (-1.4) • I'm amazed at my weigh in today. Nice drop. I'm disappointed that I missed the last two days. Backs still sore so I took a gentle walk to get moving. Feeling a bit down atm, break up blues. Ah well, gotta keep going! I have goals to reach!

09/17 • 75.6 (-1.4) • Had work again (I'm an interior stylist so it's running around all day) and tried to move as much as possible but my back is probably the worst it's been so far. Very frustrating!

09/18 • 75.3 (-1.7) • I'm disappointed about my back throwing out half of my week though. I really don't want to rest but I have been and it's killing me not to go walking! At least nutrition is doing its thing and I'm still losing, so I'll take that positive (: Haven't logged into the challenge daily but have been keeping track in my notes. Next challenge's goals is to be better with that!

09/19

Really excited to see the results pour in tomorrow! I'm in Australia so I guess I'm leading the day in compared to most here.

Good luck everyone! You've all been so inspiring x

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.

Round 83 (my round 1) SW - 165.5, AW - 163.25
Round 84 (my round 2) SW - 160, AW - 161.2
Round 85 (my round 3) SW - 159.5, AW - 158.75
Round 86 (my round 4) SW - 158.5, AW - 157.64
Round 87 (my round 5) SW - 157.5, AW - 157.25
Round 88 (my round 6) SW - 157, AW - 156.875

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.
9/13 (work) - 155 - TGIF. I’m exhausted. Ready to crash tonight and it’s only 5am.
9/14 - 154 - Let me just say WOW! Wasn’t expecting that!! I’ve been trying to be super good the last 3 days, but the stress of work makes it harder. Actually went to the cafeteria with a friend yesterday & chose not to get anything, despite the temptations. I feel like I’m making progress mentally too.
9/15 - DNW - forgot my scale & ate candy corn yesterday 🤦🏼‍♀️ OMAD today, and a flour tortilla. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Must. Stay. Strong.
9/16 - DNW - numbers are reflecting my shortcomings. Staying straight today. I’m disappointed in myself. I need to be stronger than my cravings.
9/17 - 157 - this is what happens when you make bad choices. I knew it was coming, but that doesn’t make it easier to see. Just keep swimming! More water the rest of the time.

Ready for my round 26

Goals this round: drop 2 lbs

09/10: 204.2! Coming down again from my frustrating jump up at the end of last round. Hopefully releasing water weight. Trying to stick well to my food and exercise goals and trying to drink lots of water to reduce water retention. IDK if that's actually true or not, but I remember hearing somewhere that drinking more keeps you from holding on to water weight as much. Had a good day of work today, hoping to be more productive in that sphere as well. Was letting depression get the better of me the past couple weeks and my productivity definitely took a toll.
09/11: 205... Well, I just don't know why. Had almost no appetite so did not overeat yesterday at all and yet here we are with a bump. Nothing to do but push forward... Keep sticking to it and hope for some progress. I knew losing weight with PCOS is tough so I just need to be tougher.
09/12: 203.2! Idk why yesterday I was so high and today I'm so low, but a win is a win, so I'll take it! Going to ride the wave of progress today and get some good work done, exercise hard and stick to my food goals. I made a keto pizza last night with almond flour fathead dough and it was pretty decent. I hope its leftovers make a nice lunch
09/13: 203.2! Wahoo! Staying level! Got some intense exercise in and did a good job of sticking to my food goals. Didn't get a lot of work done, had to take a half day to get to spend some time w my partner before he leaves for 10 days this evening. We played pool so that's been fun to learn
09/14: 202.8! Omygosh! So happy 😊 went for a really long kayak and saw loads of otters and seals. My first time seeing otters, so amazing. Was hard to focus my camera on them with the strong winds blowing me away. Had a great time and ate very healthy before and after.
09/15: 202.2!! Wow! Did lots of chores. Trimmed my hedges and now my forearms are ready to explode. Eating healthy and trying to be productive with chores today
09/16: 202! Really happy I havent had a pop up yet. Fingers crossed I stay down. Had an intense workout and got lots of work done. One of those days where I was so busy working in the lab, I forgot to decontaminate and go eat/drink/take any break whatsoever. Will try to drink a lot on my commute home and eat a hearty dinner when I get home to make up for the lack of food today
09/17: 201.8! Yay! Can't believe it but very happy. Did a great job of sticking to my diet today, didnt exercise. Super sore from my workout yesterday. I did walk around a lot for work and did some stretching for muscle stiffness. Hoping to hang on to this loss as my TOM begins.. would be nice to finish this challenge out nice and strong

09/19:

This will be my first round! My goal is to lose 1 kg by the end of it

09/10 80.9 kg My biggest challenge today will be to avoid snacking when playing games with my friends tonight.
09/11 81.1 kg (+0.2kg) I didn’t not avoid snacking yesterday with my friends! -.-
09/12 81 kg (+0.1kg) Did a lot of exercise yesterday and ate around 1600 calories.
09/13 81 kg (+0.1kg) I am been doing blogilates 100ab and glute challenge these last days. My body is sore! Think I am going to try to eat more low carb-meals from now. In my experience it is usually easier for me to stay to my calorie goal if I don’t eat to many carbs.
09/14 ??kg I did not have access to a scale yesterday.
09/15 81.6kg (+0.8kg) I walked over 10 km on both friday and saturday. So I am happy with that. I was eating out a lot and it is impossible to count calories then. Did chose the healthy options, but I am still bloated today from the wine I drank yesterday.
09/16 80.8kg (-0.1kg) Low carb meals is already making a big difference. I do not feel hungry at all staying with my calorie goal of 1600 calories a day. And it looks like it is helping with my bloat as well
09/17 80.8kg (-0.1kg) There is a lot of stress right now. Quite happy with myself for not turning to food and snacks to deal with it though
09/18 80.1kg (-0.8kg) Did a lot of exercise yesterday. Using jump rope to work on my cardio… it feels very effective

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

09/13 - 136.8lb (-0.8lb)
09/14 - DNW
09/15 - DNW
09/16 - DNW - Totally crazy weekend. Grandkids over after school Friday to stay over so had a movie and popcorn night with them plus our two. They went home lunchtime Saturday then headed straight out to the girls cheerleading team Picnic for the afternoon (tried to make the best of the terribly unhealthy - so very tempting and rather nice - food that was available). Yesterday during the day was fine with our usual full on roast last night then me and hubby went out for the evening and had a drink and shared a bag of sweets at the show so bed later than normal for a Sunday and so laid in for an extra 10 minutes this morning and didn't remember to weigh in until I'd already had my morning cup of tea But good food day planned and back to proper tracking today and still aiming to finish in the 136's for the round. Have a great week everyone

09/17 - 139.6lb (+2.8lb) as a result of my not so great weekend food-wise, topped with TOM imminent plus I have been eating more carbs the last few days as doing a (walking) marathon on Saturday night so trying to eat a few more carbs than usual this week ready for a pastabake dinner Saturday before the walk! So am feeling a bit bloated although not sure how much of it is down to the weekend / TOM or the carbs? Either way, I'm back to tracking properly for the rest of the week

09/18 - 138.8lb (-0.8lb) That will do to start. Still want to get back to my pre holiday weight by the end of September so 5lb to go ...... Usual gym sessions twice a week booked in, plenty of exercise on Saturday doing my marathon - just need to keep properly focused on my food and keep logging!
