@CamandJarvis (edited) By the way, my calories are frequently under what the Senza app shows *I should have* but I don’t pay attention to that, I watch my macros.

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.

10/2 119.5 Not surprised. I have been doing longer fasting periods and OMAD in the late afternoon, around 4 or 5.
10/3 119.5 I suspected this might happen due to all of the bouncing in the last week plus. The things I love most are that I seldom feel hungry, and Keto/low carb has been shown to be good for the brain.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30: 235.2 - I ate way too much Chinese food yesterday. I got my workout in today and am trying not to munch on everything. Not a bad Monday.
10/01: 235.6 - bloated and gross feeling. Haven't eaten the best in the last few days.
10/02: 236 - not been eating the greatest but trying to stay within calories. Hormones and bad food choices = water weight.
10/03: 234.6 - I didn't work out yesterday and over ate. At least the scale is lower than yesterday. I need to get back on the ball. I'll try to do better today.
10/04: 233.4 - I did better yesterday and got my workout in. I really hope the scale keeps dropping. I'd like to see below 232 lbs this round. Happy Friday everyone!

Goals for 10 day Challenge: lose 1.6 pounds (reach 118).
Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 120.9 Up from 1.3 lbs from yesterday so not the best start - water retention from DOMS, salt (tortilla chips :-) from lunch yesterday, and BP medicine ran out over-weekend and forgot to pick up Rx Friday. Girl Power this morning and will hopefully burn off fat/water with cardio this evening at spin class!
010/01 120.1 Heading back down! Cardio day - cycle in am and then a circuit class in the evening. Ended up doing 80 push ups during the circuit class - hopefully won’t be too sore. Good recovery meal of homemade arugula pasta with smoked yellow tomato sauce, roasted garlic puree and arugula oil.
010/02 119.2 Continued down and back below end of round 90 and almost back to recent low. Will take more time as within 10 pounds of goal and a lot of these fluctuations are more likely water than fat/muscle loss. Girl Power this am (last class sad to say) and finished with our choice - focused on squats - up to 85 pounds @ 5 reps now on back squat and feel comfortable now working on my own. Improved max rep of pushups to 21 and reduced weight on machine assisted pull-up so definitely getting stronger (much better metric of progress than weight from scale!) continuing daughter’s veggie week them so pasta again, cavatappi with smoked eggplant and red peppers with ground beyond beef and smoked mozzarella. Hopefully good recovery meal after heavy leg day (squats/cycle in evening)
010/03 117.8 Whoooosh! This was unexpected, but likely water. Did not have a huge amount of fiber yesterday, so expect that tomorrow weight will be back up. Good news is that if it is water should be able to hang out around this weight once it stabilizes. Busy with work so did not get to the gym this am, so took a much needed rest day. Wasn’t really sore from squats, but power in cycle class was below FTP last night so probably need some recovery time. Going to do an ab workout and then call it a day!
010/04 118.8 As expected. back up a pound but really on track so happy with where I am. BMI is still below 24, but still have some belly fat and flab on thighs, lower back to work on. Power back to where it should be today in spin class - not sure if it was from taking a break or just the other bike was not calibrated the same, but felt much better today. No time for weights today, so will try to work in strength workout over the weekend.

@BSchoberg Great job getting into the 188's!!!5

Did really well in the last round. Hoping to finally hit a new decade this round. I am so close to my ultimate goal, but it seems so far away at the same time. I have to be so careful with everything to be able to lose at this point, so I am going to work really hard. My goal is to hit 139 at least a couple of times this round and continue to bring my 10 day avg down at least another pound.
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
Round 90: 143.7 - 140.9 down 2.8 Avg 142.68
9/30 - 145.9 not off to a great start. We drank a lot yesterday and did a lot of snacking on foods that I normally wouldn't eat. Tons of carbs/sodium and beer were consumed all day. Tailgating and watching the Cowboys game with the hubby made for a great Sunday though. Now to get back on track and get somewhere this round. I am getting to old to party like we used to, I feel terrible today and I am just hoping to get my water in. I have a feeling it will an early night for me.
10/1 - 146.5 I have no idea what's going on. I had a medication change that started Saturday, so maybe I am holding onto some water or something or maybe this is the rest of my Sunday's bounce. I know I did splurge a little to much, but geez, I don't think 5.6 pounds worth by any means. I better not see it go up again tomorrow, it will eventually drop, I just have to be patient.
10/2 - 143.9 water weight is my enemy! Hopefully I will be back down tomorrow all the way. Was on track all day yesterday accept I did have a flour tortilla with dinner. Other than that excellent day and so far on track today.
10/3 - 143.2 I think I would have been lower, but had to eat on the run last night for dinner. Hubby and kids wanted pizza which I can usually get away with. Of course the pizza restaurant we chose did not serve salads (even pizza hut has a salad), I was shocked. So I went with 1 slice of veggie pizza and a couple of chicken wings. I thought for sure that would be fine. Usually if we order from our local place I can eat a salad and a couple of bone in wings and be well under my allotted dinner calories. I ended up 200 calories over, 40 fat g over, and 2000 mg of sodium over. I don't know what this place does to it's wings, but I would have been better off eating a couple slices of pizza. I was shocked when I went home and logged my dinner. So water and clean eating is on the menu today.
10/4 - 142.0 Feeling extremely bloated and uncomfortable all day. My stomach still isn't 100% cooperating with the new meds, so hopefully bu next week I will be better. I am exactly where I was last Friday. I am still fighting to get into the 130's, but I think it's going to take longer than I thought.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 134.5, pretty happy with this weight especially since it’s after a weekend. My TOM will be mid week so hoping to curb any cravings and still manage to get workouts in.
10/01 134.3, back to where I was at the end of last round and hopefully the downward trend continues the rest of the round. Ending on a Wednesday gives me time to lose any period weight.
10/02 134.2, back to lowest weight and TOM started yesterday. Lots of water and cooking today a meal that gives 3 meals of leftovers do should be set up well for the next couple of days.
10/03 134.1, meals prepped for today (still leftovers) and managed to go to the gym for an hour so hoping continue on downward trend tomorrow going into the weekend with some cushion since always go up slightly.
10/04 133.8, went to the doctor today and weighed in at 135.7, which was discouraging but reminded myself that it’s better to see a trend with the same scale and I’ve been using the same one since the beginning. 70 minute on elliptical this afternoon and prepped meals should hopefully help continuing on a downward trend

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.

Hi I am in again! No vacations this time so looking forward to a weight loss.

10/02 216.8 Had a good day. Drank my water, under on calories and exercised.

10/04 216.8 I had another good day. Logged, under on calories, exercised and 100oz. of water. I have a cold so my exercise has been lighter than usual.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 – 184.6 – Big post-weekend bounce, thanks to the yummy (and salty!) clam pizza my husband and I shared last night. I think I’m finally getting used to my body’s response to extra sodium, so I’m trying to take those temporary water gains in stride. To be honest, when DH suggested pizza, my first thought was about how the salt would affect Monday morning’s weigh-in. But I’m glad I said yes. We had a relaxing evening, and the water weight will be gone in a couple of days.
10/01 – 183.4 – Voila! Water gain from the pizza is gone, and I’m back to my Round 91 starting weight. Late meeting, but I didn’t want to do take-out again. Only managed a tiny walk (15 minutes) after work, but I made it home in time to roast a spaghetti squash and throw together a quick veggie chilli to top it. The leftovers will buy me some time for a longer walk later this week. Stayed under my calorie limit even with a LNS of a lemon bar and tea – “fuel” to help me power through tonight’s stack of student essays.
10/02 – 183.4 – Bonus beach day after my morning class – it was just too nice to sit inside grading journals. Walked for 2 ½ hours, most of it through the sand and surf. Met my daughter and her friend for (diet) root beer floats and still came in under my calorie limit. Banking the extra for the weekend.
10/03 – 183.0 – Glad to be moving down. Rain all day, so I caught up with grading instead of walking. Met my goal for logging and calories.
10/04 – 183.0 – Cool morning. Walked for an hour, then ran errands. Lunch out and a big gooey chocolate cookie after dinner put me a little over on calories, but I logged everything. I’ve got my grandsons coming tomorrow, so it will be a busy day. Turning in early so I’ll be well rested and ready for adventure!

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 91 (my round 9)
9/30 - 154.5 - starting to settle into life with my oldest baby here. I’ve missed having time with her and she’s going through a stressful time, so we’re going to work it together. She has done keto in the past, and felt better, so I’m hoping she will do it with me now. Today we had a nice dinner out. Shared a plate at my FAVORITE Mexican place, and ate all the non-keto & enjoyed an “adult beverage”. Junk food is out now. We both have a lot to accomplish in the next 2 months before my lease ends!
10/1 (work) - 156.5 - popcorn at the movie 2 days ago & Mexican food last night. The bonding with my “baby” is worth any cost.
10/2 (work) - 155 - a gallon of water makes a difference!

GOALS
Halfway GW: 140.4 (-17.4) <<achieved!>>
UGW: 126-128 REVISED 9/29 from 123
<<MAINTENANCE achieved!>>
SW this round: 126.4 lbs
GW this round: 126.4- 127.8 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
09/30126.4 **I'm in maintenance?!** Is this real?! Yes, I now find myself here, having revised my original Ultimate Goal Weight upward from 123 because I feel (and look, I think?) good at around 127. My original UGW was based on what I could recall from before I gained weight, though I now recall that I was approaching a bit too skinny at 5'7" and 124. I'm very small boned, but my current weight feels comfortable, so I'm going with that. What now? Where's my diploma and graduation party? Ha.
Okay, the plan is to *continue* (1) Logging and weighing food (2) Monitoring calories and experimenting with a slightly higher range IF I gain consistently (3) Eating between 12-8 p.m. What got me to maintenance should keep me in maintenance, right? I will also *begin* (4) Gentle toning exercises. C'est tout!
10/01126.4 First, I'm proud to report that I started my toning yesterday by doing a few slooow squats every time I got up to go to the bathroom. Second, I realized that the insights gained over these months of highly introspective mini-journaling here in this group should be revisited in maintenance, or I risk losing them. So starting tomorrow, I'm going to start combing through my old rounds (all saved on my phone) for insights/still-relevant epiphanies. I know it'll help me stay focused, and hopefully, will help someone else. Reading everyone's posts sure helps me, anyway!
10/02 125 A retrospective from the end of my first round: (3/23/19, Round 71, at 155.4 lbs) "My final weigh-in for this round, and I'm down 2.4 from my starting weight! Yesterday I exercised but didn't eat super healthy other than a salad. However, I stayed within my calories and hit my macros better than usual, so the lesson for me is the "perfect" day doesn't exist, nor does it need to in order to make progress...For the first time in my life, I think I'm going to let patience and persistence win over impatience and defeat. This is going to happen slooowly, but it's going to happen!"
Take home: If you're struggling right now, remember that slow is okay! Patience is a HUGE part of getting where you want to go.
10/03 126.2 Not a retrospective, but a great idea from the Maintenance forum: pick up something of equal weight to the weight you've lost/want to lose! I lost 30 lbs-too much for me to pick up-so I had my husband put a bag of dog food in my lap. Seriously? I was carrying that around?! I already have mobility issues! Try it. So you've lost "only" 3 lbs? Grab a 3-lb weight or a few jars of spaghetti sauce or something and do a few laps around the kitchen until you really get sick of it. It's not nothin', right?
10/04 125 A retrospective comment: (3/24, Round 72, at 152.6 lbs) "I feel like tracking on MFP has revealed that holy grail of successful weight loss: moderation. I'm finally empowered to enjoy treats in moderation, guilt-free. Other big lessons so far: I must practice patience (this is all gonna go way more slowly than I'd like!), and I can't freak out when the numbers on the scale go up or plateau. It's all part of this nonlinear process." Take home: I can eat what I want! Caramel cheesecake? Sure, but just a thin sliver and *savor* it. And track everything!

10/01 133.8 – 8.87 miles walked, all macros in green.
10/02 133.2 – just over 6 miles walked yesterday. Wonderful day out with my lovely sisters yesterday & just 150 calories over my calories out – yay !!!
10/ 03 133.8 – 10.2miles walked yesterday and an hours yoga class;she worked us hard!! CICO in credit, all macros in green.
10/04 133.2 – 5.97 miles walked yesterday

Round 91
Goal : to run the 30 Day Shred programme everyday (it’s fun and structured).
Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 - n/a - homemade bodyweight programme
10/01 - day 1 - Oof, I forgot about the arm exercises. But did it! And it feels good to finally get back into the groove of things.
10/02 - day 2 - Woke up sore from yesterday, which I liked :-)
Ok, day two was nice, slightly easier than day one. And it seemed shorter as well.
10/03 - day 3 - yikes, only did half the session. Like my heart isn’t in it anymore... I feel like I get bored so easily these days. And I must say I had a long day as well, and did the session when my energy levels were low.
I will do my session in the morning tomorrow. No sad feelings :-)
10/04 - day 4 - yeah, no, it’s definitely boredom. I miss the weight training. I shall finish these 10 days just because, but then look to start Stronglift :-)
10/05 - day 5 - done. No issues. I’m really uplifted by all the progress everyone here writes about. I love this idea of focusing « only » on 10 days at a time. I think it has made me want to change a particular mindset I have had trouble with. How wonderful to notice these kinds of changes. Happy progress everyone!7 -
09/30 - 73.1kg
10/01 - 72.9kg
10/02 - 72.7kg
10/03 - 72.85 arghhh!!! Why does my body keep doing this to me?!
10/04 - 72kg now that's more like it!
10/05 - 72.6kg - I'm very bloated and constipated so I know the .6 will shift. Scoffing prunes!

90 minutes of body pump. I feel so tired, my knees ache, my muscles ache. I should head to bed!7 -
I'm totally up for another round! I joined in for the first time on Round 90 and lost 5.8lb. Great incentive to try again!
ROUND 90: 5.8lb loss
This time I'm shooting for 6lb which is somewhere between my target last time and what I actually acheived.
ROUND 91
Starting weight 19st 1lb (267lb)
Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 - 19st 0.5lb (0.5lb loss) - A good day overall! Busy day at work so lots of walking, and was quite conservative with my calories. Will be repeating my couch to 5k run from Saturday tonight, determined to do it all (unless I get chased by another dog!)
10/01 - 19st 0.3lb (0.2lb loss) - Aaaaargh!! I mean, a loss is a loss but I am soooo close to the next stone barrier. And once I see 18st on my scale I NEVER want to see 19 again. Did my repeat c25k run last night and it was amazing. My fitness has improved so much since I started. I mean I need to keep at it, but five weeks ago I never would have believe I could run for eight minutes non-stop, twice. And I didn't get to that insensible stage of losing my breath either. 💪💪
10/02 - 18st 12.5lb (1.8lb loss) - Yesssssssssssss!!!! Fully anticipating a bounce back tomorrow but for today, I'm going to enjoy this victory!
10/03 - 18st 12lb (0.5lb loss) - So that uptick didn't come today, although I'm sure it's just around the corner. I hope I can stay under 19st when it comes though. I had a wonderful non-scale victory yesterday - I completed W5R3 of couch to 5k which is 5min walk, 20min run, 5min walk. Possibly the longest I've run in my life, 100% definitely the longest as an adult. I did it! And I felt great doing it! It was hard but not impossible. I am so proud of myself, and so impressed by the increase in my fitness in just five weeks. This success seemed utterly inconceivable then!
10/04 - 18st 11lb (-1lb) - Hooray! I am only ½lb away from a 3stone (42lb/19kg) total loss! I so hope I get there in the next few days, I know I'm due for a little bump up but I don't want one! 4lb loss for Round 91 so far so right on track for my goal. 🤞
10/05 - 18st 11¼lb (+¼lb) - Honestly, if that's my bounce, I'll take that. Doing another c25k session today so fingers crossed for onwards and downwards tomorrow!

Shooting for 2lbs this round. *Fingers crossed*
Day/Weight/Comment
09/30: 195.6
10/1: 196.8 Not the greatest day calorie-wise yesterday, but I have a tough workout planned this morning. Will bounce back! 😊
10/2: 196.6 Slow progress, but going in the right direction.
10/3: 198.0 I banked extra calories on Tuesday in anticipation of a high calorie day yesterday. A little disheartening, but will keep plugging away at it.
10/4: 198.0 Choosing to look at the big picture today instead of letting myself get down. I’ve made it under the 200 lb mark, and I’m grateful for that accomplishment. 😊
10/5: 196.8 My weight seems to be all over the place this week. 🤷♀️
