Round 90 β Sept.20 to Sept.30
Female, 5β, 66 years. Goals β finish calorie log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW β 162.6, GW β 160.8, UGW β 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Fell off the recording wagon by trying to do it later in the day, also one day of travel - so tracked most calories but did not record. Ended with 162.6 β up .4 from the last round but did see some 161 during the round so Iβm hopeful of better things for this one.
Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 β 162.4
09/21 β 162 β Warmup exercises in morning and emptying compost bin in the afternoon. Logged all calories - even the not so good overdoing chocolate almond spread. Nice surprise there as I was still within cals. because my breakfast and lunch were low. No LNS. Trying to get more protein earlier in the day so Iβm not so hungry in the evening. Finally have a sunny day here so planning lots of outside work.
09/22 β 162.4
09/23 β 161.8
09/24 β 162 β Some LNS last night but not high fat so hoping it doesnβt show up tomorrow. Nice day today so off to do work outside.
09/25 β 162.2 β Lots of work outside yesterday, only fruit (prune plums) for LNS. Today is bringing in houseplants that have been outside for the summer and doing more composting and clearing off the garden. Risk of frost and some rainy days forecast so trying to do the max today.

Round 90
Please join us! Starting on 09/20 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 90
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

As you can see the last 5 rounds have been horrible for me. I have had family issues, birthdays, TOM, and all 5 of my kids in 5 different schools getting back into routines the last couple of rounds. This will be the first round we haven't had to go out of town, deal with some crazy situation, or worry about what is going to happen tomorrow. We have finally calmed down a bit and I am ready to start on the last 6-7 pounds. I would like to drop my 10 day average by 2 pounds and see 142, maybe even 141 a couple of times on the scale. Good luck everyone!
Round 85: 143.7 - 139.6 down 4.1 Avg 142.35
Round 86: 139.6 - 148.2 up 8.6 Avg 144.08
Round 87: 148.2 - 143.6 down 4.6 Avg 143.73
Round 88: 143.6 - 147.0 up 3.4 Avg 145.84
Round 89: 147.0 - 143.7 down 3.3 Avg 144.99
09/20 - 142.8 nice drop to start the new round. I am officially back to where I was in round 85 before my 4 round diet break. So Iβm happy with my progress and I know that I can do maintenance once I get down to where I need to be.
09/21 - 143.7 good day, jumped up because of the sodium and carbs I am sure. We took out youngest to her favorite restaurant for a surprise birthday dinner. Chinese is always filled with a couple of extra carbs than what I would normally eat. I tried to stay away from the fried rice and had grilled shrimp instead of the other meats, but I did have 2 beers.
09/22 -143.7 The birthday party was a success, but drank a little to much in celebration. Food was on point and didn't over do it at all. Will see a jump up tomorrow because of the liquor I am sure.
09/23 -145.4 way lower than the last couple of Monday's and knew I would have a jump up due to my alcohol intake in Saturday. It always hits me 2 days later. Water and clean eating today. Looking forward to having some good drops this round and getting back to where I was.
09/24 -144.5 and we continue the roller coaster down. Hopefully I will be back to my starting weight by tomorrow and then see some progress. Was on track all day and should be under calories today. So far I have been drinking my water and doing what I need to do.
09/25 - 140.9 I don't believe this is a true weight. I am sure it will bounce up tomorrow. I only ate about 600 calories yesterday. We had some unexpected issues come up last night and I never got around to eating anything for dinner. So I pretty much did a 24 hour fast unintentionally. I also may have been a little dehydrated this morning to because I woke up extremely thirsty. I would love it if it stayed here, but I doubt it will. I will eventually get back to this weight though.
09/26 - 142.0 only a 1.1 pound gain. I will take this is as a win. I was super hungry all day yesterday, but did not give in. I stayed at my calories allotted and did not go over. I am on track for today and hopefully I will hit my September goal of 141 tomorrow. I'm doing way better this round and am happy with my progress so far. Hopefully the last couple of weigh-ins will be nice to me to finish strong.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 β 185.8 β Little drop to start, despite the Chinese food I had last night. But here we are at the beginning of another weekend. How many calories in a pokΓ© bowl?
09/21 β 184.6 β Happy to see a drop, but I slept in this morning, so that may account for some off it. Apple festival with the grandkids this afternoon. Drinks and dinner with friends this evening. A bit over on calories but got in a 45 minute walk at the park.
09/22 β 184.6 β Holding steady. Gorgeous weather for the last day of summer! Dinner guests this evening, but logging and maintaining a deficit is easier when I can control the menu and portion sizes.
09/23 β 183.4 β Nice drop and, surprisingly, a new low. My younger son and his fiancΓ© stopped by for a couple of days on their way home from a business trip, so we wound up doing a big family dinner and sitting around the fire pit until late last night. Restaurant lunch and take-out dinner today, so I expect a sodium bounce tomorrow. A busy day at work and I wanted to spend more time with family, so I didnβt cook, log, or walk. But Iβll be back on track tomorrow!
09/24 β 184.0 β Thereβs the bounce, but itβs not too bad. Exhausting day β 14 hours of teaching, meetings, and workshops - but I managed to stay under my calorie limit and log my food. No walk but I got in almost 9,000 steps. Next up: sleep!
09/25 β 184.0 β Slightly less busy day. Woke up feeling sluggish but determined to meet my goals today. I walked for an hour in the park next to campus and still made it to my afternoon workshop - with 3 minutes to spare. Met my calorie and logging goals. Even got a bit of the neverending grading done!
09/26 β 183.0 β Good to see the last bounce gone. Student conferences all day, but Iβm done with classes for another week. Dinner out with my husband, followed by a 35-minute walk around town. Still feeling too full, although I managed to come in under my calorie limit. Weβll see what the scale says tomorrow.

Round 90 (my round 8)
9/20 (work) - 156
9/21 - 153.5 - felt like poop yesterday, ate like poop yesterday, slept 13 hours. Not sure where this came from, but weβll take it. Taking it easy on my belly today. Weβre sharing some kind of bug at work, apparently.
9/22 - 154.5 - ate one meal yesterday, subsequently felt like I was going to vomit all night. Weβll see how today goes. Ham & eggs cooked by my Honey this morning. π₯°
9/23 - 154.5 - breakfast was not so easy on my belly yesterday. Even drinking makes my tummy roll. I finally broke down & ate some oatmeal last night and it didnβt make me sick, so YAY! I need things to work their way out today. I have life to live.
9/24 - 154.5
9/25 (work) - 155.5 - I seem to be done with that round of illness. It stinks that the foods that settle my belly are totally not keto, but itβs back on the wagon today. Work then getting ready for my oldest to come stay with me.

Round # 21 for me
Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 396.4 (-0.4)
09/21 397.0 (+0.6)
09/22 397.6 (+0.6)
09/23 396.6 (-1.0) β I have just not had a good year. I must finish the year strong! I have an appointment Oct 10th with a weight lost specialist for WLS patients. I have an appointment on Oct 3rd with a knee specialist. I need to see a sleep specialist also because I know I have sleep apnea and it is rearing its ugly head again. My therapist came back from maternity leave and we had a good session last Tuesday and I have been doing better ever since. Still doing WW. Was up 10.8 pounds with them and decided to just start the ticker over with them. My PCP prescribe something for me that is stomach and liver friendly that seems to be helping my knees. I hope you all are still rocking things. It is end of month which starts getting hectic for me tomorrow, but I am determined not to drop the ball on ME. I know I may not make goal weight of 389 but at this point I will be happy with losing 4 pounds
09/24 393.8 (-2.8) - At month ends, I will not have much time to chit chat but I am very happy about todayβs loss. I did several things right yesterday. We will see on Saturday when I weigh in at WW. One thing I want to share is I have been getting in the bed before midnight 3 nights in a row. This is compared to 1 and 2 oβclock in the morning. I must say I can certainly feel the difference. My goal is to keep this up even on Friday and Saturdays unless I have an event and I am out until midnight.
09/25 393.0 (-0.8)
09/26 391.4 (-1.6) β It has been hectic month/quarter end at work. I have been struggling but making my step and managing my plan so so. I doubt I will lose today. We will see. Staying mindful and focused on my year end goal.

My journey β¦ ("I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but Iβm Not Where I Use To Be!")
In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbsMy highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but Iβm Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goalsβ¦β¦ and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.:flowerforyou: SW 373.4 - 1/3/19 GW 348 - 12/31/19 :flowerforyou:Round 64 - SW 373.4 EW 369 (-4.4)

First round for me! 34 year old female, lots of weight to lose but perhaps not as much motivation as I need. Hopeful this will help! Only participating for nine days - would love to lose half a stone (7lbs) but would also like the moon on a stick!
Day/Weight/Comment
09/20 - Didn't weigh.
09/21 - 19st 6.8lbs - Did week 4 run 2 of couch to 5k today. Got my first heckles from a stranger. Ignored them. πͺ
09/22 - 19st 6.3lbs (-0.5lb)
09/23 - 19st 4lbs (-2.3lb) Did week 4 run 3 of couch to 5k today, and somehow racked up over 23,000 steps on my pedometer. Certainly am moving more these days!
09/24 - 19st 2.8lbs (-1.2lb) Tough day of toddler groups and biscuits to avoid ahead! Fingers crossed for rock hard willpower.
09/25 - 19st 3.5lbs (+0.7lbs) Not sure what the craic is with this gain, it was undeserved. I was under my calorie goal with good choices and had nearly 15,000 steps on my pedometer yesterday. Even managed to resist the bloody biscuits but nevertheless here we are. Still a loss overall so no worries but hoping to be back on track tomorrow.
09/26 - 19st 3.5lbs (no change) Adding my comment before bed today instead of first thing in the morning because today has just been THAT against me from the get go! Nevertheless I have maintained my willpower, stayed within my calorie goal and got out to do my couch to 5k session despite one child refusing to sleep and the other vomitting all over my running clothes just before I was about to leave. (Ran in pyjama pants and my husband's hoodie. I was NOT giving up today!) Thursday can just bugger off. (I did the run though! W5R1 3x5mins. I am so proud of myself!)
09/27 - 19st 2.5lb (-1lb) Well, thank goodness for that. Looking at a 4.3lb loss do far this challenge. Don't imagine I'm going to hit the moon-on-a-stick 7lb mark with two more days to go but nevertheless I'm not disappointed!

I'm in. This is my third round. Delighted with 2.5 loss in round 89. Aiming to get more daily weights in the 130's... be great to see the back of the 140's. I am going to Florida in 6 weeks time - my niece is getting married in Key West so I'm aiming for 1lb a week till then.
Starting Weight: 140.25
20th Sept 140.5. Late piloxing class followed by late pasta. 16k steps. Yesterday was a good day.
21st Sept. 140.25. Good day yesterday. Stayed within calories. Piloxing class.
22nd Sept. 141.0. Good day yesterday. Hit steps and stayed within calories
23rd Sept: 143.0. Was expecting this. Very poor mental health day yesterday. Didn't get washed or dressed. Stayed at home in and out of bed all day. Made brownies with my son. Ate tonnes of food. I mean , LOTS. Felt sick. Today is a new day and I feel a lot better. Lashing down the water. Aiming to get back to normal weight by Wednesday.
24th Sept: 143.5. A big jump up considering I stayed within calories yesterday and got in all my steps. However......chocolate rocky road did make up 600 of my calories PLUS I haven't gone to the toilet in 6 days and I feel so backed up and bloated. I am drinking approx. 3 litres of water every day, but obviously not enough fibre. Piloxing class tonight.
25th Sept: 142.5. Still haven't gone to the toilet, breaking out the big guns today. All bran for brekkie, beans on toast for lunch and mushy peas with my dinner. Stayed within calories yesterday but didn't hit macros. Ate 400cals of brownie . Piloxing class last night. Planning a walk with the dogs tonight when son in training. Please oh Please let me go to the toilet sometime soon!
26th Sept: 142.25. Stayed within calories and hit my steps yesterday. Really upped my fibre so hoping for some movement in the toilet department soon. Food planned for today and piloxing class tonight.
27th Sept: 142.5. TMI but I eventually went to the toilet. Went 100 over on calories yesterday and 400 of my daily calories went on chocolate rocky road. I have to learn to not give into the treats that are brought into work. Piloxing last night and again tonight. Horrible that this round ends on a weekend aghhhhh.

UGW: 120ish
09/20 172.6 assumably almost all water weight but Iβll take it! Over 16k steps yesterday and (almost) hit my 1.5L of water target.
09/21 171.4 definitely need to increase my fibre! Only managed 8k steps yesterday π
09/22 169.8 I have now lost over 10lbs since beginning to use MFP again! Water weight is still weight you carry around so Iβm good with whooshing it now and getting down to focusing on fatloss soon. 1.8lbs away from being 12st again makes me happy, as Iβm definitely using each stone as a milestone. Yesterday I walked my 10k steps, drank more water and even had a curry Iβd prepared weeks ago and frozen (definitely not diet-friendly, but Iβm not going to throw out food, just work the rest of my cals for the day around it).
09/23 173 super low mood yesterday led to me eating an entire pizza. HAVE to meal prep today. Gutted.
09/24 171.2 trending back down is always good. Started a new workout class, which was very fun. I have my normal pole fitness class tonight so going to be going straight from work, preparing for a late dinner!
09/25 170.8 work is a nightmare at the moment but I got to my pole class last night! I didnβt even get close to my step goal yesterday but I have been hitting my water target (albeit at night)
09/26 170.6 it was my day off yesterday so I went for a 3 hour walk, got all my shopping done and carried it home, and meal prepped for the next 10 days! I didnβt hit my water goal (not even close) so thatβs todayβs focus. Very glad to still be losing!
09/27 169.6 finally back below my pizza weight! 14k steps and actually getting close to my water goal helps. Iβm starting to really enjoy overnight oats (where I was definitely a cheez on toast girl before) and have been enjoying that fuller for longer feeling.

Ready for my round 27
OSW 88KG
RSW 62.0kg (-26.0 kg) or {- 57.3 lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
09/20 61.85kg scale still can't decide between 61.7 and 62.0 so I chose the middle. Which makes me happy! Did a nice 5km run this morning.
09/21 61.6kg ππ½and the scale wasn't being weird so I'm going to take it and enjoy! Was out till 1am with my bestie who likes a drink or 10 π but I stuck to my water. A late dinner and only 4 hours sleep but I'm raring to go today. Salad lunch out, barbershop and football (soccer that is π) watching planned.
09/22 61.7 kg. No problem here. Went over my calories but stayed in deficit. Had a great day.
09/23 62.1kg - 61.8 kg with the scale being weird again... not unexpected as I was over calories again but still in deficit. Ran 3km and now will be very mindful of eating.
09/24 61.5kg after the gym which is a new low! 4.5 ish kg {10lbs} to go... Or 31st December. I'm going into maintenance at whichever I hit 1st!
09/25 61.8kg. Usual mid week blip up which will be gone by the weekend. Ran 3km and later today I have a strength training club and then I'm trying aerobics... Phew! All followed by a smart dinner out... Time to make smart choices
09/26 62.1 after a big, late dinner. Glad I did so much exercise yesterday!
09/27 61.5kg heading back down. Ran 3km this morning despite the pain from weds over exercising.

Goal: Improve Sleep - duration of 7hrs and score above 80.
9/20 191.4 lbs 5h40m/70/10:25pm - f*cking Cecil. Up way too early, but there is zero chance of getting back to sleep now. Had a good workout yesterday, good food day, should see loss, not gain, but the sleep issue always has an impact. Long day today... hoping for a good one.
9/21 190.5 lbs 7h3m/82/9:45pm - long boozy day yesterday. Long people-y day (faced w/o alcohol) today.
9/22 191.9 lbs 7h54m/88/10:11pm - all the Friday booze. I am not worried. I expect to have a good Combat class today and eat clean - should get me back on track.
9/23 190.2 lbs 5h57m/76/11:14pm - kicked it up a notch in Combat, but may be paying a price: my right shoulder is f'd. We'll see how it feels in training today. Otherwise, it was a nice, quiet, restful day with the dogs. πΎ
9/24 190.1 lbs 7h2m/86/10:25pm - good training session, but felt wrung out most of the day. Decent sleep... rest day (ha!)... should help.
9/25 189.7lbs 4h15m/58/11:06pm - damned dogs.

Result:
09/20 207. I am surprised by the pop up. I think I had a fever last night for some unknown reason, but I feel back to normal this morning. Hopefully my weight pops back down tomorrow.
09/21 207.4
09/22 208.4
09/23 207.2. Happy Fall Equinox! Today I begin an extended fast. No matter what I am going to muscle through to next Sunday, but I hope to go 10 days for some true healing.
09/24 206. I was successful at fasting yesterday & expect that today will be the same. I feel strong & determined
09/25 203.2. For the first time ever I am successfully fasting. I have not had a nibble of food. I am drinking coffee & water & taking my supplements. I am active & I feel good. I have mentally prepared for this fast since the spring equinox.
09/26 202.2. Yesterday I felt so good about fasting. Then I got really hungry after yoga. To be fair I did get almost 14000 steps & did a 1 hour hot yoga class. I feel good this morning, a little tired.
09/27 203. I ended my fast last night. I wasnβt feeling great & I was hungry. I am a little disappointed I didnβt push through but I still beat my last longest fast by an hour.
