▪10/21 - 181.6 - 24hr liquid fast. 25g carbs, 19g net carbs. Meal time~ 7pm. Barely slept Saturday night, laying awake stressed over something. My Grandson's 3rd birthday celebration yesterday. I wasn't in the mood and tired, but I wanted to see him. He is a sweetheart❤ and a character? Pizza and chocolate cake on the b'day menu. I did not partake. I had no appetite anyway. Took a gallon of electrolyte water and a container of bone broth to drink while I was there. I enjoyed my time there.
▪10/22 - 183 - I don't know what my actual carb count ended up being. I had a late evening mindless pretzel binge after a very stressful week. I was not feeling stressed at the time. Maybe just a delayed need to chew it out. I don't know. Much better today. 1F/18hrs. (before pretzels~28g carbs, 18g net carbs) Meal times~1pm, 5pm, 7pm.

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m 54.
SW-Sept. 2018-187
UGW-139

10/22-The batteries in the scale are dead. We leave for a 4 day trip, lots of driving. My husband will be in meetings and I have quilting projects to work on, and my walking shoes.
10/26-171-It’s good to be home, I got the batteries in the scale. I’m going on a big walk today and a party tonight.
10/28-174-. Bad food choices.

@SheilaBoneham, have you considered a vitamin/mineral deficiency that is causing your occasional cravings? Some of the foods you are eliminating are rich in B vitamins and zinc. Just asking, because I supplement with b's and zinc. If I don't I will have cravings.

Round 93 (my 25th)

OSW 382.0
RSW 288.0

10/20 285.6 Well that’s a nice way to start the round. I’m hopeful this is the start of some good progress this round.

10/21 285.8 I did strength training yesterday so I’m not surprised that I didn’t have a loss.

10/22 285.2 I had hoped for more but I’ll take it. My nsv was adding 10 more minutes of riding my exercise bike. I also managed to walk to and from the market in the burger place without stopping or getting anything extra.

10/23 284.6 Downward progress is good progress. Today is hopefully a light activity day I’m due for a rest day.

10/24 284.2 I took it easy yesterday and it didn’t help as much as I had hoped because I didn’t end up sleeping well. On top of a restless night today is my busy day. Hopefully I can stay on track.

10/25 285.2 My husband and I went out for an early anniversary dinner last night. I went over my calorie goal, but under my maintenance calories. I’m sure this will be gone in a day or two.

10/26 284.4 Almost all the way back down.

10/27 284.4 Hmm, I’ll see what tomorrow brings. Most of my activity was very late in the day.

10/28 283.8 There we go. I was pretty active yesterday, it seems to be part of my weekend trend. I’m hopeful of figuring out how to be as active during the week.

Some lovely individual here suggested Zombies, Run! to me when I mentioned that I was beginning running. Well, NikeRunClub has decided it does not want to work. Looking at reviews, MANY people are so angry with the same exact issues I'm facing and these are OLD reviews. Two updates since then and still the same issues. So, I'm currently downloading Zombies, Run! and starting fresh this week with that new app.

And just a quick review of NikeRunClub so hopefully no one else falls prey to it: It messed with me mentally. I ran according to training. It never showed up. It kept telling me I was slacking. My pace was waaaaay off (I'm talking I ran 1.2 miles on the treadmill and it showed I ran 0.6mi on the app). And then after 2 weeks, the MyCoach training plan I set up just deleted itself. I lost all progress.

So for the sake of my mental wellbeing as I get back into running, I'm staying far away from NRC and moving on to something I've heard so many wonderful things about. And I need accountability so I'm telling you all in hopes you'll keep me going (as you always do)

So whoever you were that told me about Zombies, Run! (I apologize), THANK YOU.

5'6, I'd like to get down to the 138's during this challenge. Final goal is 132-133.

10/20 139

10/22

10/23 139, I'm rejoining. I had a rough go at work, then fight with my boyfriend, and lost it. I started eating and drinking without thinking. My weight is up, and I quit the last challenge. Now I feel even worse, and want to get back on track.

10/24 139, hanging at this weight. Lifted weights today, walked dog, and didn't overeat. Still hoping to see 138.

10/25 139, no change

10/26 139.6, Feeling kind of demoralized, but I think the little spike is from all the salt last night. Even so, I'm having a hard time moving from 139. I've been eating less, but not tracking, so I guess I'm still eating too much.

10/27 141, yikes! I'm hoping this is the result of my salty meal last night.

10/28 141.2 Egads! this was not my plan. I started at 139, and hoped to at least see the high end of 138. And instead I GAINED 2 pounds. I know the culprit. I had stopped drinking and the weight fell off. Then I started to have 2 glasses of wine at night, and boom, it's right back. It's time to give up the wine again, sigh.

Round 93
I passed out a couple of weeks ago and have been kinda chicken ever since. I've gone to the doc and they weren't sure what's up but didn't restrict exercise. They did an EKG that showed a weird electrical issue that might have caused the passing out but they want me to wear a 30-day monitor because it didn't seem to be serious enough to have caused the passing out. I want to know, I want to stay on track I've put so much time and effort into this. I go tomorrow to have the monitor attached. Wish me luck.

I had a similar issue. I passed out suddenly and they thought I had a heart attack initially. After wearing a heart monitor and undergoing several tests (VO2 max, stress test, ultrasound of my heart, etc), we determined it was exhaustion. They never mentioned electrical issues for me, though. Hopefully its nothing serious.

I will say, while I had the monitor on, I was not allowed to get my heart rate up. Absolutely no working out and limited walking/moving so that I didn't raise it too much. Not sure if that's what they will do with you. Hopefully nothing to drastic! It is an awful experience. I was so scared. But once I got the all clear, I came back and ran my best APFT (army physical fitness test) after only 2.5 months of training. No issues since. Wishing you just as easy as a comeback.

Best of luck!

back home now. Things have quieted down. Time to face the fiddler. Expecting rain so I will walk inside the school, if necessary. Doubling down on water & parsley tea. Maybe an egg fast today for at least 24 hours. Glad to be home & have choices.

Goodies for sale to help the graduating class of my grandson in a couple of years. Bought some items in a “charitable” mood to “take home to my son”. I ended up eating half of them!

I slept 4 hours & 41 minutes. Little to no water yesterday either. Today will be a better day. I would love for my weigh-in to be as good as it can by the time I get to my Mammogram & Breast Cancer Oncologist appointment at University of Michigan this Wednesday. Time for my annual re-check and to check how remission is going!

10/28 …..187.8 ….. Steady scale. I had a wonderful movie night with my son last night at home. I resisted his popcorn, soda & sweet snacks. I enjoyed my Atkins indulgence bar and am so glad that I did. I am traveling on Wednesday for a super long day trip and I want to stay stabilized before then.

@chalazae I rarely post these types of messages, but I'm hoping it will be helpful to you.

1.5 lbs in 9 days is a great weight loss. Maybe the bigger issue is that your weight loss goals are a little unrealistic. Remember this is not Biggest Loser, this is real life.

Just looking at this round you say on 10/20 you ate like a pig, but then on 10/21 you say that you have no clue why you gained. If I had to take a guess, the increase on 10/21 , is probably due to the fact that you ate a lot more salt than usual.. Then on 10/22 you say that you have no idea why the scale went down, again if I had to take a guess I would guess it was the excess salt from 2 days ago leaving your body. Weight loss is not linear and it is not perfect. Just because you ate perfectly or even poorly the day before, that does not mean it will be reflected on the scale the next day. This is a great website to explain scale weight fluctuations that I think would be really helpful.

Round 93 – Oct. 20 to 27/ 2019
Female, 5’, 66 years. Goals – finish calorie log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW – 163, GW – 162, UGW – 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.) Planning to get my winter gym membership this round and get back to regular 2-3 times a week workout.
Back again after holiday out to see our son and family who have a toy and candy store. Amazingly am only up a bit from where I was when I left (varying around 162.2 to 162.8) although there may be an uptick tomorrow from all the chocolate.

10/22 – 163 – Not nearly as bad as I feared. Logging carefully today so as not to increase the damage though have a busy day. Last trip for the year, I think, so can really settle in to the winter stuff. Made it over the last mountain pass last night (in snow) just as they were issuing a weather advisory. At home it’s a beautiful fall day. Thankful.
10/23 – 162.4 – Question that I deserve this as had ½ a dark thin chocolate bar last night and also a bit of chocolate at lunch(gift from trip). Don’t have to go anywhere today so hoping to get in some exercise and make good meals.
10/24 – 163.4 – Was rather expecting this. Did have chocolate again yesterday but now it is gone. Did stretches this am and got to bed at a reasonable time so hoping for lots of progress today.
10/25 – 162.6 – Onward and downward. No stretches yesterday but did plant one last perennial which involved a lot of digging out nasty soil and stones so should have burned some calories there. Have a practice this morning but hoping to rake leaves this afternoon as we’re supposed to get snow tomorrow. Calories were ok yesterday but still some LNS – hoping to do better today.
10/26 – 163.6 - ?? Maybe the LNS catching up with me or maybe too much salt at supper. Power was out for a number of hours yesterday so our supper was cold meat sandwiches and snacking on homemade granola (nutritious but not low cal at all).
10/27 – 163.4
10/28 – 163.6 The true bump up from holidays and a week of tiredness & trying to catch up. Busy day today and tomorrow but then I am finished with one class I was taking so that may help. Last night managed to keep to apples for LNS though may count for the day must have been over by about 300 cals.
