OSW 382.0
RSW 283.6

Will this be the round that I hit my goal for this year? It will be if I get serious and end the eating out. My goal for this round is at least a two pound loss.

10/30 284.6 This bounce up is nothing more than the usual ovulation bounce up. I actually went back over my weight and ovulation times to prove it to myself. If all goes the same as the past it should be gone tomorrow or at worst in two days.

10/31 282.2 And the whoosh. I do have a small family party and eat out planned today, but I preplanned them and know what I can have to stay in calorie goals. I might still see a bounce tomorrow from sodium, but I’m positive I will reach my goal for this year by Monday at the latest.

11/01 281.4 I stayed on plan yesterday! I wasn’t expecting another drop today, but I’m happy seeing it. This loss puts me a little under my 100 pound loss goal for this year. I’m going to shoot for at least another 8 before the Christmas holiday.

11/02 280.4 I’m sure this freefall will end soon. I suspected that I had been retaining water for awhile now from the new exercise bike, but I didn’t think it was this much.

11/03 279.4 Still in free fall. Don’t worry I’m not starving myself and am eating at a decent calorie level.

11/04 278.8 I was so busy with errands yesterday, but I did them all between meals and made sure that I was at home near meal times so that I didn’t grab something out. Because of this I didn’t drink enough yesterday and I feel dehydrated today. On the plus side I don’t have anything planned until Thursday so I can rest a little and recover from my weekend.

11/05 278.2 I upped my morning walk yesterday from 20 minutes to 35 minutes. I also did the Just Dance arm movements while I did my exercise bike so I’m happy that the increased activity didn’t end in a bump up. Today I’m a little sore so I might take it a little easier than I have the last few days.

11/06 277.4 So I keep saying that I’m going to rest, and I still haven’t done it. Today I’m going to try to force myself to take it a little easier and have a rest day.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/30:205.4- Yayyyy! Not as much as I was hoping for, but still happy it's going down. Now to leave the 205 zone.

10/31:205.4-No gain, but no loss which is kind of annoying. I did really good and think I messed up lat night when I went to the new boba place in town. I didn't get boba, just a green tea with cream topping, but think the sweetener and topping threw my body off. Staying in tonight and might get a keto pizza from Blaze. Happy Halloween!

11/1:205-This is awesome! I'm so shocked because even though I had a salad for lunch I had a Popeyes leg and wing and mashed potatoes for dinner AND half a Blaze pizza. The pizza was a keto pizza though, so maybe that helped

Still I'm surprised! So close to 204 come onnnnnn

11/2:205.4-

11/3:DNW

11/4:205.6-Not so happy about this gain, but the amount of horrible I ate this weekend I honestly welcome only .6 of a gain. Back on it today. Feeling a lot better compared to last week. Getting my food logged today and have meal prepped for most of the days this week. Trying to get my water up and back into the gym.

11/5:206.6-Beyond pissed! I got so mad when I got on the scale. How do I go from eating so bad on Sunday and only gain .5lb, but yesterday I ate healthy, walked, drank water AND got in the gym and I gain A POUND! I'm hoping it's water weight or some other sorcery because I'm annoyed. >:[

11/6:206.2-Happy for my little loss, but still bummed.

Female, 5’8”, 68 YO.
This is my third complete round, lost a few pounds on the first go round, maintained last round, hoping to drop a pound this time around. More would be welcomed, but as I’m within the healthy weight range for my height, I’ve round it gets harder and harder to drop and keep it off. But y’all are inspiring me, and I haven’t gone off target/plan since joining these challenges, so thanks HEAPS!

SW 157.6
GWL for round : -1 pound, 156.6

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 157.6 SMH, I'm up .2 pounds from yesterday, the end of round 93. Stress eating though, due to death in the family, so hoping I can overcome this soon.
10/31 156.4 No excitement... on our way home from our walk with the dogs, I had my mind on my brother, on a song that wouldn't leave my head, everywhere except on where I was putting my feet. Stepped 1/2 off the asphalt, twisted and sprained my right ankle and wrist, bruised and scraped my left knee, shin and elbow, and my cheek bone bounced off a nice big stone! So... no treat on my Halloween, just tricks! ROFL Have a great Halloween y'all, I will, but now, from a sitting position! ROFL
11/01 ? Ankle was too sore to balance on the scale
11/02 157.4 expected this, sitting on your rear all day does this to a gal. SMH
11/03 157.0 got in a small walk yesterday, had salad with no meat for dinner, and it did the trick.
11/04 156.8
11/05 157.6 I blame that 12oz T bone steak for dinner, along with that long hard roll... ROFL Tomorrow is another day.

11/06 156.8 that 6 mile hike yesterday paid off.

Round 94:
Female, 57 yy, 4'11''
OSW: 177.1 lbs
LTG: 105 - 110.0 lbs or BF 23-25%
STG: 110 (next milestone)

Goals for 10 day Challenge: reach 114 - upper end of ideal weight for my height.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/30 114.8, %BF 27.5 Reached my STG of last round now! (be below 115) but better late than never! Expect wt may go back up tomorrow and I’ll bounce around here, but just might be possible to reach the upper end of the ideal weight range for my height this round. In the meantime goal is to keep working on increasing muscle mass (seems to be working according to scale) with the increase in calories and burning fat. Early morning spin class for cardio today!

10/31 116.4, BF% 27.9 OK maybe I should not predict that it will go up cuz it seems to come true -lol ! Pasta for dinner last night so expect a lot of the gain is water with the carbs/glycogen storage (and food retention) - but was refueled for step aerobics this am!!! Switched to using two risers to increase HR during class so got a high intensity workout in. Strength training with trainer afterwards - we are on to the Stage 4 workouts from Strong (Schuler & Cosgrove of NROLW) for the next month. Halloween get together with neighbors tonight (pizza) so have pre-logged and should be in my macros (higher calories on weight day help!) Hoping that the strong storms (under tornado watch) that are predicted hold off until after trick-or-treating! Even with the ups/downs after the last two weeks of higher calories, Happy Scale thinks my current loss rate is 0.47 lbs/week so looks like that is in line with my estimated TDEE and calorie targets so trend is more important than the noisy day to day measurements!

11/01 115.2 BF% 27.6 yeah! Heading back in the right direction! (even with pizza & wine last night- all in moderation)

11/02 114.4 BF% 27.5 yeah!!! Back below weight at start of the round! Step aerobics in the morning and then went back in the late afternoon for spin !

11/03 114.4 BF% 27.4 Holding steady! Did Xtrain class in the morning and increased power on bike to 213 watts (PWR 4.1). Did strength workout in afternoon Stage 4B from “Strong” - arms are still a bit sore as are glutes from deadlifts but should sleep well tonight!

11/04 114.0 BF% 27.3 Thrilled that I made round goal weight (the upper end of the ideal weight range for my height) even if it does bounce back up! Still want to reduce BF more, so will continue cutting and trying to conserve muscle to reduce BF to get to next STG of 110 (probably sometime in December). At that point I’ll reassess whether to work on body recomp or drop to 105 (current LTG). Going forward focus will be more on BF than scale. Rest day for weights, but did “easy” spin class tonight.

11/05 113.8, BF% 27.3 Surprised with this drop, but will take it! Wondering if the higher calories are helping with consistency in drops compared to previous weeks ??? Tuesday is heavy weight/lower rep training, so may have some DOMS tomorrow! Heading back to the gym after work so that I can get my cardio in before dinner (it also seems to help stretch quads after squats!) Also high calorie day (on strength days) so hit 1625 on the nose! Trying a sunbasket meal kit for “Cheesy Fusilli with leeks and wilted greens” tonight - basically mac-n-cheese that will make one of my daughters happy (OK I like mac-n-cheese too :-) but should hit the spot after a long day!

11/06 113.8, BF% 27.3 Held it even with the higher calorie/weight day yesterday!!! And no DOMS either (so far!) Cardio after work (spin class) today. NSV: can wear an old ring that I’ve had since I was a kid; other rings (were on ring fingers) have to move to middle fingers! (though keep forgetting to put them back on after lifting!)

Day/Weight/Comment

10/30: 292.0 lbs (+1.4) .. bit of an uptick this morning, nothing too bad. Most likely going to take it pretty easy today aside from some walking.

10/31: 290.9 lbs (-1.1) … back down near my current low weight. Had a good run this morning, 3 miles over 40 minutes. It was warmer than normal for this time of year, but rainy. The rain felt pretty good though! I have my second strength training personal trainer session this evening after work, then I’m manning the door for trick or treaters for the remainder of the evening.

11/01: 292.2 lbs (+1.3) … pushed my calories yesterday slightly higher than I have for the past week or so, and ate a bit more carb-heavy than typical. I’m just glad that I’m hovering in the 290-292 range instead of staying at 295 like I was for the last few weeks.

11/02: 292.4 lbs (+0.2) … didn’t go out for a run this morning as planned… my legs were really sore from the gym on Thursday night. We’ll see how I feel in the morning. Likely going to take it easy today and rest.

11/03: 293.5 lbs (+1.1)

11/04: 294.3 lbs (+0.8) … the number on the scale keeps creeping up. Been eating well within my budget, so it's not food related. Was a bit frustrated about it until I read this morning that it's pretty common when you're beginning strength training and have sore muscles.

11/05: 291.7 lbs (-2.6) … there we go, a little recovery from recent upticks. At this point I’d be happy if I broke even this round, but hopefully I can show at least a little bit of loss in the next 4 days. Last night I had my third session with my personal trainer, an hour long. Still feeling a bit spaghetti-legged from that this morning, but not sore... yet. We'll see how I feel tomorrow I guess. Lastly, I noticed this morning that my shirts are fitting a bit better around the stomach — so even if I’m not losing pounds, I’m still making progress.

11/06: 292.7 lbs (+1.0) … more water retention fun! I’m pretty certain that’s what the uptick is. My legs and shoulders are pretty sore from Monday’s session at the gym. Trying to be more active today to shed the extra weight. I'm up to about 2 hours walking and 11,500 steps so far at 2pm.

Round 94 – Oct. 30 to Nov. 7/ 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 – 163.4, 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. Before that though will take a few days of catch up and plan.
Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 – 163.4 – Not such a great day, but didn’t go totally overboard and now am finished with the Tues. p.m. class. Also got a skiff of snow so the next 3 days I’m going to spend tidying up outside and putting leaves through the chopper and then I’m done with outside stuff! Yay, and back to the gym for my exercise.
10/31 – 164.2 – This is what I expected to see yesterday. Getting close to my all-time high weight. Good day yesterday though, no LNS and reasonable meals. No exercise but did do a gym membership online last night. We have a concert coming up beginning of Dec. and I either must shrink around the middle or get a new top. This is my last year with them so just want to keep the old one. I am doing an online sewing/fitting class so had to take detailed measurements – we’ll see how far I can get this round and in Nov.
11/01- 164.8 – I think; slept in and had to run off to a funeral but I did weigh.
11/02- 164.4 – Clean house day and work on sewing class (no exercise there). I did do some morning exercise though.
11/03 - 164
11/04 – 164.2 – Was going along swimmingly yesterday until I found the chocolate covered ginger that I’d forgotten about. Not a low cal LNS for sure. Fortunately I had been smart enough to only buy about a cup. As a result of that self-sabotage, I’ve decided to go for a no-treat November. I don’t have any in the house now and am not going to buy any this month. DH has his vanilla ice cream that I don’t care for and the occasional pop which doesn’t tempt me.
11/05 – Busy day and forgot to record weight
11/06 – 163.4 – No LNS and finally going down. Just wish I hadn’t gone up first

Safe to say I’m losing weight due to breastfeeding and perhaps due to being on the go most of the day.

Gardening season wraps up tomorrow, just some hard pruning next week and a couple of yards of mulch to move. Winter for me involves lots and lots of exercise so I’m hoping I can get things moving in the right direction.

jenn990205 · November 2019

So I am back for another round. My goals will be the same as last since I didn't make any progress in round 93. I would like to be under 144.0 for every weigh-in and have at least 60% of them be under 142.0. My husband turns 39 on the 7th and our last weigh-in is the day after. We also have to deal with Halloween, so this round may be a little tricky. Although I know I am kind of being selfish, but I really want to get out of the 140's, so I have decided not to pass out candy this year. All 5 of my kids will be out or doing other things, so I am not going to temp myself at all. I guess not having any little kids anymore makes this year a little easier. I do feel guilty about the other neighborhood kids, but I am taking this year off and not bringing bags of candy into the house.

(I only include the last 5 rounds of results)

Round 89: 147.0 - 143.7 Avg 144.99
Round 90: 143.7 - 140.9 Avg 142.68
Round 91: 140.9 - 143.6 Avg 143.62
Round 92: 143.6 - 141.5 Avg 142.01
Round 93: 141.5 - 142.3 Avg 143.21

10/30 - 140.7 Finally!!!! A new low!!! Now it's only by 2/10 of a pound, but I am taking it and running. Was on track all day yesterday and stuck to my no alcohol. Will do the same today and hope for another, hopefully bigger drop tomorrow.

10/31 - 140.7 same as yesterday. So I am ending October with an entire 2/10 of a pound loss. Not thrilled, but I have to accept it and move on. The good news is my monthly moving average is down 2.2 pounds according to my happy scale. I am pretty much losing about a pound to a pound and a half a month right now. I am at about 22.5 on my BMI chart, so in the healthy range and am ok with how my clothes fit. I think it's just vanity that I want to weigh in the 130's, lol. I don't really think anything is going to change if the scale says 140.7 or 138.7, but it will make me happy, so I will continue working on it. No alcohol again last night and stayed on track food wise. I have only drank 2 days out of the last 10 and that is huge for me, so I am going to continue trying to go that route for a couple more weeks.

11/01 - 141.5 So my husband finally made tenure yesterday and got a really nice raise. We knew he was being re-evaluated, but it was way better than we could have imagined. Plus he got a really nice bonus and we can finally pay some bills off that we have putting off. Having 2 kids in college and another one starting next year is sometimes hard on the wallet, lol. That being said we celebrated last night with a couple of drinks and Chinese food. He wanted to go out, but I made it at home instead. The chicken egg rolls (I only had 1) went into the air fryer, the fried rice was made with low sodium soy sauce (husband could not even tell the difference), and baked some chicken to go with it. I only had 4 oz of Crown and nothing else. I was really good! I don't think I deserve this uptick, but maybe even using the low sodium soy sauce it was more than I should have had. We will see tomorrow. It was a celebration and don't regret the 1 pound at all. TGIF!!!!

11/02 - 139.7 yes, yes, yes!!!! Finally and it’s real, but now here comes the weekend. I always gain during the weekend no matter what. Maybe this will be my motivation to be really good.

11/03 - 140.7 Did some projects around the house all day yesterday and took 3 of the kids for flu shots. Ate under calories, but did have a couple of beers with my hubby while putting together my new hall tree. It came in about 400 pieces, lol and my husband was not happy. It looks amazing though and I love it.

11/04 - 141.5 cleaned house all day Sunday and did about 8 loads of laundry over the weekend. Made banana bread, chocolate banana bread, (did not have any) and burritos for the week for everyone. I only had my 2 meals and both were on track. We had aged steak for dinner and brussel sprouts. I did not have any potatoes, mac and cheese, or bread, but I did have a couple of beers watching the night games with the hubby. I have got to get back to no alcohol. I am so good for a while and then I just start sliding again and of course the Cowboys are playing tonight. I'm not going to lie, being a Cowboys fan causes you to drink sometimes, lol. Oh well, I am doing my best.

11/05 - 139.7 Well, I can say I am pretty consistent this round for sure. Cowboys won and I am sure I am a little dehydrated from the beer, but ate way under calories. So it should even out. Back on no alcohol as of tonight. Would love to see the same pattern to finish out the next 3 days of this round.

11/06 - 140.7 This is the result of the beer from Monday night. I always have an uptick when I over drink 2 days later. Definitely well deserved and will hopefully be back down tomorrow. I have done really well this week, way better than I thought I would. I knew this week was going to be a rough one for me with so much going on. We are having my husband's bday tonight with all the kids at home. Fajitas and pineapple upside down cake are on the menu. I am making extra veggies and will put mine on lettuce instead of tortillas and not have any cake. I should be able to stay on track. Tomorrow is his actual bday and he of course wants to go to is favorite pizza place with some friends and have a couple of beers. So tomorrow will be my true test, which I have been planning for.

** ROUND 94 **
Round # 23 for me

The next ten days: I am going to focus on doing more intentional exercise (step goal 6500) and be more mindful of when I eat. Make sure I not doing as much emotional eating.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/30 397.0 – I lost 1.6 pounds last round. Finally getting back on track. I am not making any goals, but I do know in 10 days I should lose at least 2 pounds just by focusing on behavior modifications. I didn’t do the whole 10 days last round. But I am not beating myself up at all. I am just going to focus on my behaviors which will get me where I want to be.

10/31 395.6 (-1.4) – Yesterday: 7434 steps, 30 min walking. Did OK eating - no binge or fast foods. We will see how the eating goes today. I did not do the potluck with the department. But I still ate some candy and I brought some Chicago Mix popcorn for me. But I only had a few cups for lunch. No binge thus far. Night is the worse. Tomorrow I go to a special lunch, planning on eating mindfully there. Having grilled chicken since I know they are going to have it and he some veggies. I go to WW on Saturday. Trying to break even - but if I don’t, I am not going to worry about it because I have not been to a meeting in weeks. I am still up 3 pounds from the last time I was there on my scale.

11/01 396.8 (+1.2)
11/02 397.8 (+1.0)
11/03 NWI

11/04 397.2 (-0.6) - Gained over weekend. Sorta back on track today. Surprised by weight loss yesterday. Not sure on that one. I did not reach step goal last 3 days. Super busy though. I don’t think I will get step goal today either. I see my therapist tomorrow. I am down since the last time I saw her. Tomorrow I will know how much. She did not care how much, if I am losing. I got into a big argument with my boss Friday which started weekend off wrong. She was off today. We will see how she is acting tomorrow and if I will be written up or something because she was in a mood Friday and she is power tripping. She did not even say bye to anyone Friday. So she was hot but I know it was just not me. Something else happen and my argument was icing on the cake. Oh well. It is what it is. I don’t want to, but in March of next year, I must think seriously about looking for another job because I can see this is not working. It is not good for me or her. It has been a little over a year since my previous boss retired. Our personalities are not clashing at all.

11/05 397.0 (-0.2) – 4669 steps. Not even close to my 6500-step goal. Eating not the greatest. My boss came in to work today. Was normal like nothing happened Friday. Interesting. We have a P&R on Thursday. Let’s see if she cancels it.

11/06 398.2 (+1.2) 6650 steps yesterday. Overate yesterday. Mini binge or grazing. Back on track today. Some emotional eating involved. Great visit with therapist! I have one more day to see if I can get out of the red zone here this round.

Total change this round: (+ 1.2 lbs)

My journey … ("I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!")

In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

My 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 I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"

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 goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.

yobeme · November 2019

My goal is to remain consistent with my calories and under my daily target. I'll do this by eating high protein meals and lots of vegetables which keep me full, and snacking on apples if I want something in the evening. In the last round, I managed to do this 7 out of the 10 days and in this round I want to do better.

Round 93: SW 71.9kg EW 70.7kg (-1.2 kg / -2.6 lbs)

10/30 70.7kg - under calorie target; exercised
10/31 70.7kg - under calorie target

11/04 70.7kg - under calorie target; exercised
11/05 70.2kg - 100 calories over target; exercised
11/06 69.9kg - under calorie target; exercised
11/07 69.4kg - I was going to have a rest day today but I really wanted to go to a yoga class this morning so I did. I can see my body changing so the progress is not just on the scales.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Hi. My name is Trina.

I'm till trying to get down to 128, before officially starting to maintain, but mostly want to stay under 130. I'm happy that my weight is staying level even with adding in the occasional carbs. I love this challenge to keep me on track and keep me grounded in reality! My other goal this 10 days is to regain some arm mobility after my mastectomy.

10/30 129.5 Same as yesterday minus 10 inches of hair...which apparently only weighed 3 oz.
10/31 129.5 -- It finally stopped raining enough to take a late walk yesterday. Today I think I'll need to exercise inside!
11/01 129.5
11/02 ??? Forgot to weigh....I never forget! LOL
11/03 130 Temporary up....Had a beer late and some snacks. And not much in the way of movement yesterday.
11/04 131 Not what I wanted....but temporary! Today I FINALLY got to drive again post surgery. I took advantage of the car to go to the gym and do a strength workout and zumba. Funniest thing....the one thing I couldn't do in zumba was spread and raise my arms and take a deep breath in for warmup and cool down!! That's not supposed to be hard for anyone!

11/05 130 Walked 8 miles today. 3 fast, 5 with friends!
11/06 130 Walked another 8 miles today, 3 before going to meet with the oncology nurse. Kind of bummed to realize hair loss is pretty much guaranteed, although it's somewhat of a relief to know rather than worry about it. Called a friend on the way home and met her for another 5 mile walk. Ate a few fewer leftover Halloween snacks today.
