JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 95

Round 94 was a good round and I lost each day. This morning, though, because of my terribly carb heavy and high calorie day yesterday I am right back where I started on Round 94.

Day/Weight/Comment
Nov 9 - 191.0 - another carb heavy day yesterday and way too many calories
Nov 10 - 190.0 - a better day yeaterday
Nov 11 - 189.8 - another decent day yesterday. I need to stay away from the cheese at night.
Nov 13 - 188.6 - another decent day, but late night snacking is getting me
Nov 14 - 188.2
Nov 15 - 189.2 - not a good day yesterday

Total loss since returning: 13.4 lbs/1.6% BF
Average loss per round: 1.34 lbs/0.16% BF

Goal(s) for this round: Get under 215.0 and stay there. Keep up my progress 1) planning better when I'm having "cheat" days (parties, eating out with family and friends, et cetera), 2) limiting alcohol intake (no more than two drinks on any occasion, stick with red wine or spirit + diet soda) and 3) continuing to lift weights at the gym 3x/wk (no more misses without making them up, barring serious circumstances... I might have to miss a day next week again, though... last one).

Day/Weight/Comment

11/09: 216.0 (+0.2)/18.1 (+0.1). I honestly half-expected this number to be much higher. It isn't that I did anything wrong; I worked out last night and I ate "reasonably" reasonably. I think I thought I might have been dehydrated a bit at my last weigh-in, and that this could have accounted for my significant final drop in weight. I had plenty of water yesterday, though. Apparently ~216 is a thing. I'm excited.

11/10: 216.4 (+0.4)/18.1 (0.0). I had a nice brunch with my wife yesterday; totally stayed on plan regarding food quality, but probably had a bit more than I should have regarding quantity. I'm headed in the gym today, and my wife is out with her sister all day, so I should have a "good day" regarding health, fitness, and food intake.

11/11: 215.6 (-0.8)/18.0 (-0.1). I hit the gym hard yesterday, and I stayed within my calories. I'm going to chill today at home and try to limit my snacking.

11/12: 217.2 (+1.6)/18.2 (+0.2). This one is a bit of a headscratcher, unless I go back 2-3 days. Even then, it doesn't make a lot of sense. I limited my snacking significantly yesterday, though dinner was a bit of a $#!+show (not that bad, but could have been better). I'm going to roll with it; I won't let it derail me. I'll be in the gym tonight trying to work this off.

11/13: 216.0 (-1.2)/18.1 (-0.1). So this is a stressful week, I guess. I skipped out on my workout yesterday so I could stay at home and work diligently on meeting my Friday deadline. Things should be better after Friday. A lot better. I'm just going to have to grit my teeth and get through the next few days. I'm going to try to stick to my goal, but I will likely be pretty happy if I was simply able to maintain my starting weight for this round. I did pretty well with food yesterday.

11/14: 216.0 (0.0)/18.1 (0.0). I'm at work already. It's pitch black outside. Not cool. I only slept five hours or so last night, so my weigh-in was likely a little funky. Hopefully I won't be too grouchy today. Food yesterday was fine. I probably won't be in the gym until Saturday morning. Still working on my Friday deadline.

@ConfidentRaven Thanks! My team has been holding the lead since Friday, trying to keep us there.

Today is a very good day.

Day/Weight/Comment

11/09: 290.6 lbs (-0.4), 15,543 steps … a loss to start the round off on the right foot. Taking the family on a day trip to NYC today to visit the Bronx Zoo.

11/10: 290.5 lbs (-0.1), 17,178 steps … took a long walk to the store today, stopped and had lunch then walked home again. 6.5 miles round trip. Then immediately zonked out and napped for a while

11/11: 289.7 lbs (-0.8), 19,123 steps … a new low, and finally sub-290. Been hovering between 290-294 since the end of October, so I’m really glad to see some movement in the right direction.

11/12: 289.0 lbs (-0.7), 16,125 steps … another new low. Feels good to see the number on the scale go down day after day. Had a very active day yesterday, 2+ hours walking, a short run, 25 minutes strength training and then another 25 minutes playing Beat Saber in the evening. I wound up being so tired that I went to bed at 9:30pm.

11/13: 288.2 lbs (-0.8), 21,491 steps … another new low. This has been a really good week for me. I’ve been pushing myself to walk 15-18k steps per day lately for a step challenge at work and I think that was what I needed to start seeing results again.

11/14: 285.6 lbs (-2.6) … whoa. Another new low. I had to weigh myself three times this morning to convince myself this drop was real and not some sort of scale malfunction. I’m in an amazing mood today as this pushed me over the -100 lb mark. To top it off, I’m wearing a shirt today that didn’t fit a week or so ago.

@merph518, congrats on the 100 lb mark and having such a great week. Impressive work!

69 y/o female (5’7”) who enjoys hiking, lifting weights, walking with my doggie (Penny Lane) and swimming (but only in the summer......LOL). I've lost 45 lbs to date but have been at the high end of my maintenance weight all year and would love to get back to losing that elusive 10 lbs. I originally lost 60 lbs from 2013 to 2016 but have put 15 back on over the last few years. I’m not going to even try to get down to 150 again but will settle for 155 especially since the holidays are just around the corner.

RSW: 165 on 11/08
RGW: 163
UGW: 155

Maintenance calories are around 1600 to 1700 with a little exercise. My goal calories right now are 1300 to 1400 without eating any back unless I really burn it up. I figure my logging mistakes make up for the 300 to 400 extra calories I might burn 4 or 5 days a week. This year's weight gain is basically from exercising a bit less and not changing my intake. DOH, who knew?

Day/Weight/Comment
11/09: 164.8 Did a 2 mile quick walk with Penny this morning.
11/10: 164.2 Managed a quick shoulder/tricep workout this morning
11/11: 163.4 This one surprised me! We’ll see if it lasts. No real exercise today, just a long work day
11/12: 164.0 A little bump up but had ice cream after closing my diary out. Just a walk and work today
11/13: 163.7 I really need to focus if I want to reach my goal. Physical Therapy today so not sure how many extra calories I’ll actually burn
11/14: 163.5 Slowly but surely I guess. Taking Penny out for a 2 mile walk (restricted to 2 for now) and doing my PT exercises

▪11/11 -181.4 - IF/14 hrs. 50g carbs. Meal times~ 1pm, 7:30. Drank a cup of coffee and ate a few pretzels yesterday evening (7:30) I had no appetite due to my early meal. I didn't eat a lot of food, just filling. I prepared the food for my & DH's visit to DS's home yesterday. Creamy fire roasted tomato and red pepper soup, mushrooms stuffed with turkey sausage & cream cheese, broccoli bites and purchased naan, truffle cheddar cheese and artichoke spread for nibbles. Anytime I cook, my Son and DIL are happy and excited for the food. 😊

Taking a closer look at carbs and fiber in my diet for a couple of weeks. The starchy and higher fiber foods I am adding and how they affect my weight/fluid retention.

Starting over (again) and badly need the accountability of posting here every day. Did several rounds a while back and lost weight with the support of everyone here. Looking forward to catching up with everyone, losing weight and feeling good again. Unfortunately, I've fallen into the habit of eating whatever whenever. I sit at a desk 8 hours every day and go home and sit on the couch. A couple of years ago, I was walking 12,000 steps a day and weighed 25 lbs less. My best advice - don't tell yourself that letting go one or two days won't matter. Even on your bad days - do something! Eat one less bite, walk one more step. NOW, I must try to follow my own advice. Here goes...

Starting weight - 179.0
Short term goal weight - 170.0

11/09
11/10
11/11 - 179.0 (Day 1)
11/12 - 176.8 (Day 2) I love this big drop but know its just from not eating whatever I wanted all day! But it is motivation to keep going. I always struggle getting started eating right again (Well actually its not starting - I start every other day). This is day 2 and shooting for day 3. We've got snow and ice here in Southern Illinois. I'm thinking treadmill tonight - got to get off the couch! I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.
11/13 - 175.8 (Day 3) Yesterday was good! I did get on the treadmill for 20 minutes and was under on my calories. Today is the one year wedding anniversary for my daughter and her husband. I am so proud of them. They have worked hard and are succeeding. I am prepared for today, ready, set, go.
11/14 - 175.0 (Day 4) Another good day! I did have a small piece of pizza for dinner but was under on calories. I put in another 20 minutes on the treadmill. I hope to keep this trend going. I am trying to exercise every night at 6:00 pm so that when I look at the clock and see that it is 6:00 pm, it will send a message to my brain that I need to get moving. I saw this tip somewhere and I think it might work (for me). Good luck today everyone with whatever goal you are working to achieve. We can do this.

Went off track a little with an impulse visit to a new brewery/restaurant. Boxed up half the food and still logged everything.

11/10: 189.6
Menu derailed a bit when we realized the meat we had been planning on cooking for dinner had gone bad so dinner was potato wedges and apple pie bites. Ended up not to far over my calorie goal though!

11/11: 190.2
Not much to say about today. I had the day off so I was a bit worried about mindless snacking but I avoided it.

11/12: 189.2
There's a restaurant across the street from my work that I go to once or twice a week for dinner if I work late. I fit it into my calorie budget but a future goal may be cutting back on that trip - I know I can get a lot more for my calories by cooking at home.

Office manager treated everyone to Panera for lunch...I haven't eaten at Panera in years. I opted for a half sandwich and half size salad. Yummy!

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.

11/11 122.0 Yesterday was a dinner party at some friends’. I didn’t have control of the menu but I made my meal as un-carby as I could except a small piece of Italian bread (meh) and the crust I couldn’t separate from my (shredded) chicken. I skipped the cake except for a taste.

Happy Veteran’s Day to former and current military! Thank you for your service! DH and 2 veteran friends are going to free buffet for lunch at one of the casinos.

11/13 122.0 Yesterday was a good gym day, I think. OMAD @ Golden Corral and a movie with DH
11/14 123.0 Not surprised as DH and I shared a caramel pecan roll at a new bakery. If anyone in California knows of a place in Ferndale called Humboldt Sweets, they are now on Henderson, NV! Definitely not good for my WOE! My mouth loved it, my belly did not.
