“If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s success.” – James Cameron
Didn’t reach my goal for the round, but the win is that I am leaner and fitter. Never thought I would be able to stay on the elliptical for 55 minutes! Cardio a win, but still need to work on water intake.

10/02: 163.4-9 mile bike ride, gorgeous day. Disappointed no change but put on old “painting pants” today and they fit far better. Off to stain my deck!
10/03: 162!-After 7 hours of hard physical labor; hope it isn’t just dehydration, it was brutally hot. Rest day.
10/04: 162-No bump up, yay, for now.

Goal: Improve Sleep - duration of 7hrs and score above 80.
9/30 191.2 lbs 7h42m/89/9:53pm - not unexpected, after Saturday; not worried.
10/1 189.9 lbs 7h8m/84/10:11pm - another night out/concert tonight, plus DOMS, so expect to see some fluctuation. Still, not mad...
10/2 189.7 lbs 5h22m/71/12:22am - long day, great concert. But now I've finally got the same cold everyone in my office has had for a week. Serious muscle pain, too.
10/3 189.5 lbs 6h26m/73/11:10pm - HOCKEY! Up too late, especially now that I have this cold. Training this morning and then a busy day... no rest for the wicked. 😎
10/4 188.4 lbs 8h48m/80/8:44pm... according to my tracker, only 3 min of deep sleep for all that. HR and body temp were elevated. Being sick is zero fun.
10/5 186.7 lbs 11h22m/87/8:19pm... in all that sleep I got less than 1 hour of deep restorative sleep. I feel really rough. 🤧😵 HR & body temp still elevated. Caps won, tho!
10/6 184.4 lbs 9h22m/79/8:33pm.... so sick. 😵
10/7 183.9 lbs 8h4m/65/2:36pm....
10/8 183.0 lbs 6h21m/82/9:41pm - finally got some deep sleep but my resting HR is still elevated. This flu kicked my *kitten*!
10/9 182.2 lbs; my sleep tracker seems to have fritzed out on me, but while I didn't get AS MUCH sleep (less than 6 hrs total), it FELT like better sleep. Next round, I will focus on regaining strength & endurance, which has been purely devastated during this flu. MFP Friends - this is NOT how you want to drop 9 pounds in 10 days, believe me. ❤

OSW: 164.2

Goal this round: Get back on track with eating and water and workouts (even if just taking walks regularly). Lose the excess weight I've put on the last month (~6lbs so maybe not all of it) before BF gets home from AZ (tentatively scheduled for 17 Oct but could be as early as 11 Oct) and to feel better about myself by my birthday (9 Oct)

10/09 - DNW - Its MAH BIRTHDAY. Was at BF's to dogsit so no scale this morning but that's okay. No need to look today anyway (still TOM so not pretty). Going to dinner tonight. Going to try to behave but I planned on a splurge today anyway since I don't get to do this often. BF doesn't like sweets (I'm not usually big on them unless TOM cravings hit. Or anxiety attack.) so I get to spend time with people that will splurge with me and maybe split a dessert (: I have my 15 minute benchmark run today so I'll try to knock that out around lunch. And I have the flu shot today before I leave work. Ugh. But it'll do me good. Just don't like the thought of getting stuck by needles on my birthday (unless I'm giving blood, I'm fine with that)
Previous Day's Comments09/30 - BF left for AZ for 2-3 weeks for work so I'm dog sitting at his house. No scale. This round ends on my birthday so I'm going to try to not discourage myself with numbers and just try to focus on intuitive eating instead. Yesterday was bad for me and I'm sure I'm WAY up. I just couldn't satisfy my hunger no matter what. But I did take the dog for a walk so I got some movement in. Today is focused on water and eating in moderation (I have leftovers I don't want to waste since it was an expensive dinner for the early birthday celebration for BF's youngest. They have veggies and protein so I'll try to eat those before I indulge on the yummy rice.) Trying to get more movement in today as well. I have no major meetings so I'm going to try to hit the gym for a small easy workout.
10/01 - Not as horrid as I thought but I'm so close to my highest weight. Eek. But we had a retirement party for a guy I'm close to and I got peer pressured into cake and ice cream. So I took a small piece of cake with as little icing as possible and a small scoop of ice cream. Then I did a run/walk for a mile in the gym. I didn't get to go grocery shopping yesterday but luckily I forgot my lunch leftovers in the work fridge so I have those for lunch today (not ideal but its not vending machine food). I'm eating a couple salami sticks from vending machine since I woke up with a grumbling stomach I've fought for about 2 hours now (I know its hunger for sure) while I drink coffee. Hopefully I can get a quick workout in again today during lunch. Tonight I'll be dog sitting so maybe, if it doesn't storm, I'll take the pup to get a harness and go for a walk. Worst case, I'll get the harness for Friday, since I'm off work.
10/02 - Last night was interesting. We had a chance of scattered thunderstorms. Then, as soon as I finished cooking dinner, sirens. It was blue skies for about 10 minutes after sirens (as I gather what I know my boyfriend would want me to try to save and get the dog out from her hiding spot) and then it hit. Apparently there was a rotation a few miles away from the house. Luckily no damage or anything crazy. Unfortunately, my adrenaline was sky high and my food was cold so I only ate about half my dinner and then splurged on a chocolate bar. All well within calories but still makes me wonder what will happen. I don't feel so bloated today so that's a plus. I made 2 servings of my dinner so I had lunch for today but now I have 1 1/2 servings. I don't know if I should wait on cooking up the beef and zoodles tonight or if I should freeze my half serving for Thursday night/Friday. I'm afraid I won't have enough for lunch tomorrow so I guess that will be determined by how much I eat at lunch today. It is a big ol' filet of salmon so I doubt I'll finish and will have plenty. Water was okay, got my 66oz in but I need about 10 more to reach my goal. I had time last night, I just didn't. Oops. Not dog sitting tonight to save on some gas and maybe get some sleep so hopefully I can focus on me.
10/03 - Scale flashed 159.8 a few times taunting me with my 150s again. I can't believe that 145-150 used to be my stuck place and now it seems I keep going to the 160s. Until late 2018/early 2019, I'd never been in the 160s before. Ah well, I'm on a downward trend. I ended up at my neighbors playing Rummikub until it was too late so we 4 split a large pizza. I got veggies on mine and only had my two allocated slices (though I could've eaten way more) to stay within calories. The wonderful thing about splitting food with others! Wondering if that 159.8 number was telling me what I would've had if I ate my salmon and veggie dinner instead? But, I needed lunch for today and I was helping pay for the pizza. Hopefully I can squeeze in a workout today, despite it being so cold (finally hit 40*F here) and I won't want to go outside, even just to walk the quarter mile to our on-site gym at work. If not, I'll bundle up and take the dog for a walk tonight, weather permitting.

10/07 - Stayed night at BF's so no scale. Pup and I went for a walk on Friday and yesterday. Yesterday was really long because a stray dog kept following us. She isn't fixed yet (I think we can, now, but there was something medically we couldn't risk putting her under for) and the other dog didn't look it, either. So I got to the kids mom's place and she scared the dog off (the way I came from) so I had to take the long way around the opposite direction. Luckily, I just bought her a harness so it was much easier to control her and not have to worry about a collar slipping off and her running. Food wasn't great this weekend but I cooked some breakfast egg casserole Friday and some turkey&black bean tacos which I'm still slowly munching on. I have some other foods to cook this week, minus Wednesday. My lovely neighbors are taking me out for a birthday dinner (: A bit of a splurge I'm okay with. Just means I have to behave the rest of the week!
10/08 - Not bad for TOM arriving yesterday afternoon. I've tried Kombucha lately and now I love it. I don't feel so bloated! Unfortunately, I have to go out of my way into a different town to get it because my town's store doesn't have it. So today I'm going without for the first time in 4 days ): Unless I can get some to have with dinner tonight. Going to stock up. And now lactose bothers me even less so maybe I can naturally get my calcium! Did my first run yesterday. Doing a 5k training on Nike Run Club and it was 10 minutes. First time in years (army- before my broken back) I ran 10 minutes without stopping. So proud. Tomorrow I have a benchmark run of 15 minutes. It'll be good to help offset my dinner the neighbor mamas are taking me to! Depending on how I feel, I may go walk it off during lunch today or just take the dog for a walk tonight.

I am a 57yo female from the South Eastern USA. This is my third round.

R89 SW 200 EW 194.8 (-5.2)
R90 SW 194.8 EW 190.8 (-4)
Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 -191.9- I used to panic if I had an uptick in weight. I wanted a fast solution and I took even a small fluctuation as a failure on my part which then led to failure on my part. Now I know fluctuations are normal and I am doing well if I trend downward over time. Stick to the program and it will work!
10/01 -191.6- I went walking yesterday and it is so hot here in KY, still in the 90's. Come on fall temps!
10/02 -190.7- Keep going! You are worth it!
10/03 -190.1- My back and legs hurt after walking last night. I swear I think it is the hot temps that are to blame. Thankfully, the weather is about to turn fall-ish around here!
10/04 -189.9- Slow and steady, that's what I am aiming for! With my daily walk I have about 1500 calories to work with. I am not going hungry at all and I can even work in things like a serving of chips (not 3/4ths of a large bag!) now and then. I want this to be a healthy lifestyle change and not just fast weight loss so I am aiming for sustainability.
10/05 -190.5- Time for the weekend!
10/06 -189.7-
10/07 -189.4- .6 of a pound to goal for this round. Two more days, we got this!
10/08 -188.9- This is a welcome surprise. I did not feel well yesterday so I expected an uptick this morning. We will probably eat out tonight and that will be both nice and a challenge to stay within calories!
10/09 -188.5- Yes! Did not feel well after eating out yesterday. Neither my husband nor I slept well last night. I did manage to meet my calorie and exercise goals and I am happy with the results of this round!10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 190.2 (+2.4) man I'm bouncing all over the place! Still have this cold so maybe I'm retaining water? We will see what happens tomorrow.
10/01 189.8 (-0.4) yesterday was brutal. Sick still. Went to the metabolic clinic for my check in and apparently the 6lbs I've lost in these two weeks are solely water. Super disappointing since I felt like i was making progress. Guess I gotta double down.
10/02 188.8 (-1.0) stuck to plan. 12000 steps. No workout.
10/03 187.6 (-1.2) the clinic results have me wondering if I'm just losing water still. I don't see how it's possible since I was fairly low carb to begin with. I'm down a total of 10.5 lbs since Aug 12 or 7.5 weeks. Yesterday I didn't eat much. A stuffed pepper, an inch of pepperoni, a chicken stir fry (no rice) and a protein shake. I wasn't hungry and I had a lot of energy so maybe it's ok?
10/04 187 (-0.6) no energy yesterday although I did get my workout in. I'm not over this cold from last week so just feeling weak and tired.
10/05 187.2 (+0.2) food was ok. Did 13K steps. Sil sick and TOM coming up so I expect a water hike soon.
10/06 188.4 (+1.2) TOM weight. Ate within plan but did have two margaritas last night. Didn't seem to throw me out of ketosis this am so that's good.
10/07 189.2 (0.6) wrong way wrong way! Probably just TOM water weight still. Feeling so tired and weak def won't be doing my workout
10/08 187.4 (-1.8) ok water weight starting to drop. Hoping I drop another lb tomorrow. Lots of walking yesterday but no workout.
10/09 186.4 (-1.2) Whew made goal! I'm hoping to be in the 185.x before weekend but I won't get to weigh in on Friday. Away on family vaca this weekend and going to try to stay keto.
Total lost this round: 3.8. Or 1.8 depending on whether you count from beginning weight if this round or ending weight of last round. I'm not sure how most do it.

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.

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.
9/29 121.0
*******
9/30 121.0
10/1 122.0 Awake way too early! 4 AM!!
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.
10/4 119.0
10/5 119.5 Yesterday we went to see The Peanut Butter Falcon with DH then Sweet Tomatoes for dinner after. All veggies but did splurge on broccoli cheese soup and a bit of focaccia.
10/6 119.5 Dinner at Carlito’s last night. I ordered chilies relleno and calabacitas. It was two large Hatch chilies dipped in batter, deep fried and smothered in green chili. Soooo good but after eating half, I was stuffed. And then the sopapilla - I gave most to Carl. I fully expect my weight to go up in the next couple of days especially with the pool closing party tonight. I bought low carb Margarita mix.
10/7 121.0 I’m okay with this. I ate tortilla chips and salsa last night at the party and had low carb Margaritas. Ate lots of meat - mostly pulled pork. Delicious and we’ll see what the effect is in a couple of days.
10/8 119.5 Hmmm, interesting. I did not expect that.
10/9 121.5 Up way too early (4AM) with a throbbing headache which is gone now, 2 hours later.
My average for this round is down and these fluctuations are par for the course. See you tomorrow in 92!

Round 87 EW 129.6 – 2.2 lbs lost
Round 88 EW 128.4 – 1.2 lbs lost
Round 89 EW 129.0 – 0.6 lbs gained
Round 90 EW 125.2 – 3.8 lbs lost
Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 – 125.2 – same weight for the 3rd day in a row. I haven’t been the best this weekend, so I might see that in the next couple of days. I am at my goal of 125 but would like to lose just a couple more pounds and maintain between 120-125.
10/01 – 125.2
10/02 – 124.8
10/03 – 124.6 – I have actually been eating a little more the last few days (around 100 calories more) and it seems to have gotten the scale going down again.
10/04 – 124.2!
10/05 – 123.8
10/06 – 124.4 – I’m bad about posting my updates over the weekend, but I do still weigh every day and keep track.
10/07 – 124.8 – Still within my maintenance range. I don’t like the upwards trend, but I know that it’s because I splurged a little too much this weekend.
10/08 – 125.0 – Could still be from this past weekend or because it’s almost TOM
10/09 – 125.0 – TOM is here so I know some of the gain is definitely from that. Still down .2 for this round and I am ok with that.

Round 90 was the worst of the the last few rounds. I’m going to keep joining though and keep trying. I need to get my diet under control and start doing some form of exercise again. I think I need to update my excel sheet and start tracking my numbers again that was motivating me to see the trends going down.
Day/Weight/Comment
Sept 30 - 190.0 - I was hoping never to see that number again. I need to stay away from the pip and chips.
Oct 1 - 189.8
Oct 2 - 187.4 - I finally got in all my water, was active for 15 minutes and stayed within calorie goal yesterday.
Oct 3 - 186.4 - I know this is all water weight, but the food news is I’m getting my water in and I haven’t had a coke since Sunday.
Oct 4 - 187.2 - not sure what caused that bump up.
Oct 5 - 187.6 - didn’t get all my water in yesterday or my 15 minutes of exercise. Have to do better today.
Oct 6 - no scale
Oct 7 - 189.7 - way too many chips and pizza slices this weekend.
Oct 8 - 192.2
Oct 9 - 190.2 again too much pizza12 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30 160.8 I'm passing a kidney stone, and the doc said to take it easy, no hiking. :-(
10/01 160.8 Still just holding. But did a big workout on the stationary bike, so hoping for a friendly scale!
10/02 158.8 Got in a short hike, I'll jump on the exercise bike later for an easy ride.
10/03 158.8 holding
10/04 158.6 Not exciting, probably just fluid, but holding with the plan!
10/05 158.6 Holding is GOOD!
10/06 157.4 Was sick last night, fever of 101.6 this morning, so don't expect this weight to last
10/07 157.8 Yep, was right, but hey, it's still down lower than starting point, so happy camper here!
10/08 159.0 So much for holding on to the loss I had while sick. smh
10/09 158.6 YAY!!! At least I made it to goal and beat it by .2 pounds! THANKS Y'ALL!!!12 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/30: 302.4 lbs (+3.3) … I had a similar uptick at the start of last round. I overcame it then, I’ll do it again this time.
10/01: 301.9 lbs (-0.5) … Some uptick recovery. Had a good run this morning in the rain (Couch to 5k Week 7 Day 2 complete). Got two compliments about my weight loss at work
10/02: 302.4 lbs (+0.5) … Yesterday’s progress, erased. Likely water retention due to more exercise -- was pretty active yesterday. Ran in the morning, walked at lunch, then spent 1.5 hours playing Beat Saber in the evening. Wound up at around 17,000 steps for the day.
10/03: 300.1 lbs (-2.3) … There we go. Almost back to my round start weight. Completed Couch to 5k Week 7 Day 3 this morning.
10/04: 301.7 lbs (+1.6) … meh.
10/05: 299.5 lbs (-2.2) … Back down to sub-300 thankfully. Still up a little for the round though.
10/06: 297.3 lbs (-2.2) … This is what I wanted to see! Now to keep it off for the remainder of the round, heh. Completed Couch to 5k Week 8 Day 1 this morning.
10/07: 298.7 lbs (+1.4) … Another uptick, but at least I’m still below 300. I’ll take it.
10/08: 297.0 lbs (-1.7) … Yay. Completed Couch to 5k Week 8 Day 2 this morning.
10/09: 298.1 lbs (+1.1) … Didn’t meet my goal for the round but I’m never really worried about that… I’m not focused on holding myself to a specific timeframe or rate of loss. As long as I’m trending in the right direction, I’m happy. Despite the numbers on the scale going slow I'm losing inches around my chest/waist/thighs. Wearing a pair of pants this morning that didn't fit at the start of the challenge. Down 5 pants sizes and 2 shirt sizes now.
Challenge delta: -1.0 lb

10/1 165.9 Went to the gym and lifted weights, maybe that's the water retention? I haven't lifted in 2 weeks so maybe. I upped the weight on my legs and they are sore this morning! I have errands to run after work, but I hope it will be cool enough after that to get in a walk before dark. I am so ready to be in the 15Xs. My friend Mark that has been staying with me since July 9th is leaving today. I will have my house back and he will be on the next leg of his journey.
Spoiler
10/2 167.2 I had 4 dunker cookies last night right before bed. I didn't have time to walk after the errands. It's supposed to rain today so no walking outside. I think I'll do the treadmill. I haven't eaten enough calories to gain this weight. I'm sure it's water retention. My legs and arms are still sore from lifting.
10/3 166.9 Well that's something at least. I walked 3.25 miles last night, some in the rain. I found a new and interesting trail. I actually found it weeks ago but I've been waiting until my leg would cooperate. It was so nice, not the rain but the walk. I still feel puffy so we'll see what happens in the next few days. I feel I should be around 163 or 164 like I was last week.
10/4 166.7 I've eaten at maintenance the last couple of days. I had too many errands to walk last night. I'm in a bit of a funk over the roommate thing. I'm consumed with guilt for no legit reason. I think maintenance is ok for a week or so. I just need to stay away from sweets and I would be good. That is my comfort food. It took all my strength to not get the hot pumpkin pretzel with cream cheese dipping sauce for breakfast this morning. I don't know how many calories it had but I'm sure I can spend those on healthier choices even on maintenance.
10/5-10/7 166.6 For the last three days. I didn't exercise all weekend. I decided to put off the conversation with my friend until next weekend and instead of giving her 30 days we're going to work on a moving strategy together. She'll never be able to do it alone. This has to be realistic or it won't happen.
10/8 167.1 The slight uptick is sodium. I'm sticking to maintenance for the next week or two. I will continue to track because maintenance is still a restriction compared to my old eating habits.
10/9 167.2 Yesterday was a good day. We had Oktoberfest Goody day at work - so the sodium was high (Kraut and brats) but calories were ok. I had a lighter dinner. Somehow eating at maintenance gives me a little freedom I think I've been craving. Got in a 3.8-mile walk last night, that might be why I felt like it was a good day. Rainy today so I'll be going to the gym for weights. It doesn't give me the endorphin hit that walking does but I can see tangible results in my arms, legs, and dare I say ab region. Don't get me wrong, no six-pack but I can tell there are muscles where once I thought it was just fat.11 -
I’m reframing this journey as an ongoing, lifelong pilgrimage to healthy living with reaching and maintaining a healthier weight as one of several goals.
I am aiming for one behavioral shift this round....no snacks after dinner. That should cut some calories I don’t need!

Phooey. But I did have popcorn last night and some chips and salsa earlier. But today’s the day for serious cleanup! And this round is a snack-free zone.
10/01 - 165.4
I had no snacks yesterday until late evening. I was hungry, so I had some air-popped popcorn. Not too bad.
10/02 - 165.2
Slow, but the right direction at least. I ate responsibly all day, and although I did have popcorn last night, I was within calorie range. One little step at a time back to where I want to be (and was — sigh).
10/03 - 164.8
That’s a surprise — too much sodium yesterday. Yay!
10/04 - 165.4
There's the sodium from Wed. But yesterday was a good day, so all is well.
10/05 -
10/06 - 164.6
I can’t find my post from yesterday. Maybe I didn’t post? Anywho....
10/07 - 164.8
10/08 - 166
Whaaa? Oh yeah — DH brought home pizza surprise for lunch. It’s ok.
10/09 - 165.8
Not exactly what I was aiming for. I ate responsibly yesterday, so some of this is from Monday’s pizza/sodium. Onward!

10/02 141.8
10/03 141.2
10/04 139.4
10/05 143.2 must be a blip or natural body thing, as nothing was amiss with diet or exercise
10/06 139.8
10/07 141.6
10/08 141.4

To recap this 10 days, weight loss exactly 3 lbs. Ok, so I've been trying this intermittent fasting thing. Not sure if it's working as it's only been a couple weeks and the weight is up and down about 4 lbs. I'm exercising pilates, yoga and hiking (kinda trail walking but we seem to off road it so it's always interesting) I'm not dieting per say, but I do track what goes into my mouth.8
