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.

10/30 120.5 Great workout yesterday but terrible headache this morning. I know it’s the arthritis in my neck and it will pass. I changed some settings Senza so it adjusts my calories according my burn at the gym so I had more calories but was still under 10g total carbs. I’m sure the uptick is water retention for muscle recovery. HoopsGuy72, you have inspired me! Carl went to the gym and I’m getting ready to go myself!
10/31 121.0 I enjoyed the gym yesterday! WHAT??? Unfortunately, maybe too much. My left shoulder and both of my ankles hurt. I will probably go this morning but take it easy.
11/1 121.0 Limited workout yesterday but skipping the gym today. Going to a craft show at World Market with a friend. She needs to buy prizes for a charity shoot she has arranged.
11/2 121.0 DH has poker this afternoon so I will go to the gym then. I am going back to my old every other day schedule from 10-11 years ago.
11/3 120.5
11/4 121.0 I was over on everything yesterday! May not have had enough water. We picked up friends at the airport and had discussed eating out with them - they had been on a 10.5 hour flight followed by 1.5 hour with barely enough time to clear customs and get to the last flight. Anyway, didn’t eat out so came home and make eggplant parm with mozzarella meatballs. I was getting really hungry and overdid my OMAD. This too shall pass!
11/5 122.0 According to my HRM, I burned 564 calories at the gym yesterday! I should have had a protein shake when I got home. Greek salad w/gyro meat for lunch. I ate 2 eggs & 2 oz of cheddar at 7:30 last night because my protein intake was so low for the day and my stomach was growling.
11/6 123.0 Things hurt all over. I really increased the weights I did yesterday I’m relatively sure that is the explanation for the uptick. I WANT to go to the gym but think I need a day off. I can’t believe I have allowed myself to get as weak as I have.
11/7 121.0 Only one meal yesterday and that was a portion of a 6 egg omelet around noon. My gym session today will be in the afternoon as I am going to craft at my friend’s office this morning. I have several projects packed up.

Goal for this round: Get under 220 (same as last round). Plan better when I'm having "cheat" days (parties, eating out with family and friends, et cetera). Limit alcohol intake (no more than two drinks on any occasion, stick with red wine or spirit + diet soda).

Day/Weight/Comment

10/30: 221.2 (-0.2)/18.6 (0.0). I'll take anything as long as there's a "-" next to it. I didn't feel well last night, so I didn't make it to the gym. I'll get there tonight, though. I still feel like I'm on a good track, but I need to notice that yesterday was the first time that I have missed the gym in a long time. In the past, this would be "one of those things" that might throw me off. I really want to get this right this time. I've "gotten it right" before, but I need to figure out how to maintain it once I get there. I REALLY want this. I need to stay focused.

10/31: 220.6 (-0.6)/18.6 (0.0). I went to the gym last night and pushed myself, even though I am pretty sure my back is "out of whack." It went fine, but I'm really looking forward to my visit with the chiropractor on Monday. It's hilarious how it takes one day to really screw up, but it takes multiple days (sometimes even a week) to make up for it. I need to try to remember not to get the "binge" attitude: when a "cheat item" or a "cheat meal" turns into a "cheat day." The earlier I end my binge behavior, the less damage I do (and less time I have to spend "making up" for it).

11/1: 221.6 (+1.0)/18.6 (0.0). What do you get when you have a surprise Halloween gathering celebrating your sister-in-law's birthday? One pound, apparently. She bought pizza from my favorite place; I had three small slices. There was cake; I had a tiny piece. She made cupcakes; I cut the bottom off, and only at the top. Add in one beer, and about 1.5 ounces of sweet red wine. I'm listing everything because I'm actually kind of proud of myself. I could have (and likely would have) eaten three times what I consumed yesterday, but I tried my best to stay in control while still indulging "a bit." I'll be in the gym tonight!

11/2: 219.6 (-2.0)/18.4 (-0.2). I did not get a chance to post, but I went to the gym the night before. I generally seem to get good weigh-ins the day after the gym.

11/3: 219.2 (-0.4)/18.4 (0.0). I played basketball yesterday, and I felt pretty crappy. Still, a bad day at basketball is better than just about any other day. I also played miniature golf with my wife's family for her sister's birthday. I'm headed to the gym this morning. This weight (219.2) is equals the lowest I've been since I've been back to these challenges. I'm going to work hard today and hope for a bit of a breakthrough when I weigh in tomorrow.

11/4: 219.0 (-0.2)/18.4 (0.0). I went to the gym yesterday to lift weights and ate reasonably well. I limited myself at dinner to "stopping when I'm not hungry." As a result, there was a bunch of food left over that normally would have been in my belly that night. I made it through a weekend weighing less than I did on Friday morning!

11/5: 220.0 (+1.0)/18.4 (0.0). I had a stressful day yesterday, and I had a bit of a "slip" in the evening related to leftover Halloween candy (six small bars). There was not a lot of damage done; I'm going to work on keeping this slip to one evening. Gym night tonight!

11/6: 219.2 (-0.8)/18.4 (0.0). I did not go to the gym yesterday, but I DID eat well. I went to the chiropractor on Monday, and I was still pretty sore yesterday, so I will instead go to the gym tonight with my wife. I like that I'm hovering at 220 or under. I know that my average weight for a challenge says just as much (if not much more) than my starting and ending weight for a challenge. I'm still feeling a bit stressed at work (I have a huge deadline next Friday that is going to require me to work my @$$ off), but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm going to try to focus on that light and get to work. Side note - I had something yesterday that had peanut butter in it (although, to be fair, it was "whipped" peanut butter), and I did not hate it. Anyone who knows me knows that peanut butter is the most disgusting substance in the world (to me). Now I have to rethink that... at least a little bit.

11/7: 217.8 (-1.4)/18.2 (-0.2). Hmm. Maybe I should completely skip a day a the gym more often? I actually missed a day (Tuesday) for the first time in a couple of months after visiting the chiropractor on Monday, and I am NOT going to make it up this week. My goal is to get right back on it, and not let "missing a day" throw me off my game. Things are going too well for me right now to let something tiny blow everything for me. It doesn't hurt that this is by far the lowest weight I've been at in at least eight months. Today is going to be all about maintaining; I keep saying that the last weigh-in of JGMTD shouldn't be given the importance that I (maybe we) give it, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to enjoy having a good ending to the challenge tomorrow. Cheers!

10/30 - 109.7 kg
10/31 - 110 kg
11/01 - 110.9 kg
11/02 - 110 kg // I haven't really paid attention to my eating lately but I'll start that today. My daily calorie goal is 1350 to 1550. I'm also doing intermittent fasting. Though I'm breaking it early today as I need something before I go hiking this morning.
Exercised 4/5 days do far this week. Today's hike will make it 5/6. So I'm happy with that progress even if the scale isn't budging.

11/03 - 110.4 kg // I went hiking yesterday. It was so satisfying. It's been a while since I set a goal and reached it. This past week was filled with that. In terms of exercise and being active anyway.

11/04 - 111 kg // I'm half hoping this is water weight. But I'm not focusing on the scale. I'm focusing on habits. Last week I worked out 5/7 days.

My goal was 15 minutes a day. I did 20 to 30 minutes on 3 days and went hiking on 1. I only did 15 minutes the Monday so I'm proud.

I'm drinking water more regularly. This week I'm hoping to hit the 2L mark every day.

I'm logging what eat more frequently. So, once I'm under my calorie goal + the exercise + the water drinking should see a difference on the scale soon. Perhaps not this round but the next one.

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.

11/7:206-According to my bf's scale (good thing I got him one like mine) Was not as strict yesterday and we went to Disneyland so at least I got some walking in. Going to the gym tonight and just going to try to stick with it. I know this round is a bust, but still going to try to at least get out of the 206.

I’ve been in a rut and haven’t been motivated due to personal things but I’m finding the upside to life and I’m ready to get back to the person i was searching to be
11/08

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.

11/07 - 140.7 My hubby's bday is today and we are going out to dinner at his favorite pizza place. Hopefully I am not up to much tomorrow to end this round. So far this has been a really consistent and solid round for me. Hopefully a pretty nice whoosh is right around the corner and will lurk it's head out in the next round.

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

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.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
11/07 129.5 That's nice. Didn't do so well eating today, though--not over calories, just over carbs.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/30 – 145 – Did pretty well on calories and water yesterday. Aiming for the same today.
10/31 – 144.5 – OK!
11/01 – 145 – I’m going to really focus on staying in weight loss calories this weekend.
11/02 – 145.5
11/03 - 145
11/04 – 144.5 – I did try to eat well this weekend, but I won’t be surprised if I have a delayed bump up tomorrow. Either way, it’s nice to be down on a Monday.
11/05 – 145.5 – Although I ate well, exercised and drank my water yesterday, I had a feeling the weekend would catch up with me.
11/06 - 144.5 - I had an off site tax seminar today with a catered lunch. I skipped supper tonight, but I won't be surprised if I'm back up in the morning.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 - 67,5 - still TOM. I wonder what my data is going to show in the end, it’s the first time I am tracking everything this well. So I am unbothered by the ups and downs. I feel sore but good. Excited for this new 10 day focus challenge.
10/31 - 66,7 - is this water flushed out post TOM ? Maybe (probably). Data inputted in my spreadsheets and feeling a bit lighter :-). Also took my measurements (twice a month) and got some nice losses there as well.
11/01 - 66,8 - walked a lot and worked out as well. Feeling tired but very good.
11/02 - 66,9 - meh, DOMS I imagine since my calories have not changed one iota in these last couple of days.
11/03 - 66,7 - going down a bit. Still wondering if it’s DOMS.
11/04 - 66,8 - alright, seems like I’m chillin’ over here for a bit. I’m ok with it since I feel leaner, I like how I eat, I have energy and I enjoy my workouts :-) all is good.
11/05 - 66,5 - nice :-) I decided to just spend energy on other activities and not caring about scale weight while it is clearly decreasing. I lifted weights yesterday, it felt goooood.
11/06 - 66,6 - trend is alright. I am seeing (I guess) what I wanted all along, which is eating more and a slower weight loss. This is fine :-)
11/07 - 66,9 - this is water retention I think. As my meals have not changed (well actually did add 100 cals to everyday) and I have been slightly more active than last week. I am feeling a bit queasy as well, so that might be at play. Just gotta ride the wave and wait for trend to go back down.
11/08 - 66,2 - big whoosh. I ate a bit less (in calories but not in weight) yesterday actually so no idea if it’s going to stick. But I have had 4 good rounds so far. Weight bounced a lot this week. But it’s been fun and eye-opening at times.
I REACHED MY GOAL plus a bit extra :-) so I’m very pleased with that.
Hope you all did well and are content with your results :-)

** 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.

11/07 398.2 (0.0) 5553 steps yesterday.

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!")

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 94 (round 26 for me ) I'm in for another round, to lose my cheeky pre-Brexit weeks holiday gain. Have a wedding vow renewal on 9th and need to lose a couple of pounds to be comfortable in the dress I plan on wearing!

Female age 61 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
& be mindful of what I eat & drink and keep walking.
