Original High Starting Weight 178 (March 2019)
SW this round 165.6
GW this round 164. 4 Get back to the weight I was before Thanksgiving.
UGW 135

Goals 1. Walk two miles or at least hit 10,000 steps everyday
2. Due a toning workout for 20 minutes 5X a week
3. Count calories, less pasta, bread

Ending weight from last round. 165.8 lbs

12/09 - 165.6 (+1.2)

12/10 -165.4 lbs, (+1) I am surprised at the loss considering, I was good all day but my stomach was not well, and I gave into a trail mix about 9pm. On the upside, my stomach did start feeling better and I could go to bed. Before I stepped on the scale this morning, I was thinking of giving up for this month. So I will keep at it. It's just to much going on this month and I know, I am constantly going to be disappointed.

12/11 - 163.6 lbs. (-.8) Made to my goal, just have to maintain. This is a nice surprise. I went shopping with a friend but we both are trying to keep the pounds down so we opted to not go out after shopping but to her place. Only had one light beer and supper was popcorn because I can't drink on an empty stomach. By the time I got home, it was late, no time for snacking just bed. Perfect.

12/12 - 163.2 lbs (-.1.2) on track

12/13 - 163.2 (-1.2) on track, loving that I am not bouncing back up. Though this was a fluke. So glad I didn't give up earlier this round.

12/14 - 163.6 (~.8) while waiting for my son to get home, caved in a late night snack.

New Day - New Start

Hi, my name is Deb. I'm 57 years old and 5'5" tall. I've fought my weight my entire life. After 35+ years "dieting", I still have not figured out what works for me but I have to keep trying. So...

I know its two weeks before Christmas which is always at least a 5 lb gain for me, but if I don't start again right now, it will end up a 10-20 lb gain.

12/9 - 180.4 - I haven't been tracking (actually writing down) what I eat. I'm going to start that today. I haven't been exercising. I'm going to start that today. I am in the habit of posting on MFP here in this challenge (yay me) and will continue by posting my calories, exercise and moods. I love coming here and reading about and sharing in everyone's journey.

12/10 - 177.0 - Good Start. Calories: 1126. Exercise: 20 minutes on the treadmill.

12/11 - 175.0 - Another good day. Calories: 1193. Exercise: 30 minutes on the treadmill

12/12 - 174.6 - Staying on track. Calories 1271. Exercise: 40 minutes on the treadmill

12/13 - 174.0 - Calories: 1091. Exercise: 30 minutes on treadmill/15 minutes on bike.

12/14 - 174.0 - Calories within limit but had salty crackers with my vegetable soup. Exercise: 80 active Fitbit minutes.

@untrachelable MFP has been iffy for a few days now. The app keep sending crashing for no reason. They must have done an update. It usually take a few days for,it to settle down again.

This is my third attempt to post this today, and yesterday's post has gone! 👻👻👻

I have already hit my 2019 goal. The trick now is to stay there as I travel through the minefield of December. 😂

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!

R97 134.4/133.2
R98 133.8/
UGW 131
Goal for this round is to stay in the 133's. I have three weeks before my trip so if I can make it to the 132's that would be outstanding!

12/09 133.8. ate too many calories after doing so well on Saturday.
12/10 133.6 I'll take it, but will need to be careful today. I sense some self sabotage coming on...
12/11 133.2 I ate the cookie and a small piece of black forest cake, but I also exercised and was careful the rest of the day. This evening I'll be cooking so that's good because I won't feel like eating cookies 😃
12/12 133.6 this evening there's a holiday dinner. I realize I'm actually much better at events than I am usually. I'm so careful. But when I'm at home, little less. I think it's because I'm counting and weighing, oddly enough. Need to think about it!
12/13 134.4 that holiday dinner was not great. I tried at first. Minimal appetizer. Then they brought a plate of butternut squash ravioli and they were drowned in brown butter sauce. I hate that stuff. It tastes like nothing and makes everything so greasy. So I tried to eat the least greasy ravioli and had two rolls out of irritation. Anyway. Sodium in the rolls. Sodium in the pickled veggies for appetizers. I'm not going to stress about this because it will be fine.
12/14 133.6. see? Fine! I drank a lot of water. Also migraine made it so that I could not eat too much! Friends enjoyed the dinner but I didn't. I didn't want to cancel and have all that food around.

OSW 382.0
RSW 265.2

12/09 266.8 I was very hungry yesterday and even got a little lightheaded. I ended up going out for a high calorie dinner, but I felt much better afterwards. I think I didn’t eat enough on a couple of my high activity days.

12/10 265.4 And back down. I had another hungry day, not as bad as the day before though. I protein packed my dinner but stayed in calorie goal.

12/11 264.6 I upped my calorie goal to losing only a pound a week to help get a grip on this hungry stretch. I didn’t end up eating that high, but I wasn’t as low as normal either. On the plus the extra 200 or so calories that I ate throughout the day did help.

12/12 265.2 With the several hungry days and eating higher a couple of days I’m glad I haven’t bounced too much. I’m waiting for tom on top of that so we’ll see how the rest of this round goes. Yesterday I was about 50 calories more than my lower calorie goal. I would have been on track, but I didn’t notice my mayo had gone bad until after I had made my dinner side and had to improvise some of my dinner.

12/13 266.6 Pizza for dinner last night and tom showed up late last night. With only 5 more days until my break I’m considering just starting now rather than fight for the little bit I’ll lose in that time frame.

12/14 265.8 I did pretty well yesterday even with a dinner out. I stayed well in calories as we ordered from our favorite hibachi place and I got chicken with extra veggies.

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m 53.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
Gym weight lifting class 2 x week
Walk +/- 7 miles 3 x week
Drink plenty of water, alcohol on weekends only.

12/9-171- Salty dinner out.
12/10-169-Hopefully a walk today, the rain is finally gone.
12/11-167-Got 1/2 of walk done and then went and shoveled mud for hours making trenches. Grueling but worth it; I’m sore.
12/12-I refuse to weigh today. I did half of my walk, went to work, then a party......I think I can be back down tomorrow.
12/13-167-Now I can go into the weekend not up from the party. I am heading to the gym....it’s cold & foggy for a walk.

Day/Weight/Comment

12/09 - 173.4
Two parties yesterday. I did the best I could under the circumstances, but did eat too much. Lots of salt, and not enough water, so some of this is definitely water - I can feel it. Oh well. I’ve decided to just eat as healthfully as possible between holiday shindigs, do the best I can at said shindigs, and try not to gain. ‘It’s the season!

12/10 - 172.6
Lunch out with a friend yesterday, but I behaved. Off to the gym!

12/11 - 174
Whaaaa??? Must be the Sunday parties, cuz I’ve been on track since then. Lots of veggies today!

12/12 - 174.6
Nope. I didn’t do this yesterday, so this is time lag still. I had an event last evening and did eat some, but not excessive. No events today, though! Nothing until Sunday, so maybe I can recover a bit before the rest of the holiday gatherings.

12/13 - 174.2
I hauled myself out of bed and was at the Y at 6 this morning — yay! I used to be an early bird for both play (exercise) and work (writing), but got out of the habit last year with cross-country move followed by 6 months of illness/pain. But I’m working myself back into the habit of being very early at the Y (aiming for 5-5:30 arrival) followed by early start writing. I’m a little zombiefied this morning as I couldn’t sleep (and was sorely tempted to whine “tomorrow” and roll over!) but I’m glad I did it. The rest of Dec is the warm up for the “grand opening” in January.

Now to the writing.... Have a great weekend, all!

Feeling pretty okay with my eating despite not being primal like I want quite yet. Also, go Army, beat Navy (west point grad, I gotta cheer)

12/11 - Okay, not bad for traveling! Back to where I was before BF left. In the truck all day Sunday, unpacking Monday, and car all day yesterday. I'm extremely dehydrated (its a 12 hour drive, I didn't want to stop too awful much by overhydrating) but I did end up sweating in my sleep quite a bit last night that just overcame me. Big water bottle came with me to work today to remedy it. I'm now officially on my own in Kansas. BF text me on my drive in that I need to hurry up and move down because he's meeting all these amazing people and wants me down there to partake in the fun. Guess its going to be a lot more job applications. I do get to call a recruiter today, though, so hopefully he can help a lot more than I can do on my own. Hoping within 6 months I'll be headed down there. Money-wise I'm hoping my bonus and tax return will assist with said move, otherwise I'm going to be in big trouble. But we will figure it out, as always. That's what budgets are for, right?
12/12 - Had our big Christmas lunch here at work yesterday. I was so stuffed it hurt and didn't get hungry again until about 730 (my neighbor was just making food and kindly offered me some since I didn't have dinner made). Surprised I'm not higher, honestly. Scale did flash higher a few times but settled in on this number so I went with it. Depending on today, it may show up tomorrow. Especially since I'm feeling rather sad. Normally I wouldn't be seeing BF on Wednesday night but I felt the lack of his presence anyway. Thankfully my neighbor is so wonderful and took me in. He's from Texas and would love to move back, but because of his kids, he cannot so he understands my homesickness very well. I will get through this! It is only temporary (: Y'all help, as well, by distracting me with your successes and general day-to-day life. I love it!! Gets me through the day.
12/13 - Honestly very surprised I stayed the same. I ate a lot more yesterday and had a few drinks a little later at night. Also woke up later as I got to sleep in today. I'm happy with this! Hopefully this weekend I can focus on prepping meals (whether that be cooking or just putting a plan in place for this week) and start back on a downward trend. I'm also hoping that I can get into the gym at work a couple times a week now that BF is gone and sitting at home is really depressing right now. Good happy endorphins for the win! My neighbor downstairs is also helpful. He is from Texas but stuck in Kansas due to his divorce and agreement with the kids. He lives alone when his girls aren't with him so we will probably hang out and keep each other company more often. Definitely helped last night. Was on a downward spiral so I went down there for tacos and football. Within minutes, I was in a much better mood, I just needed a friendly face and a distraction. At least I have him and the ladies across the street to keep me going until I can move.

Height: 5'4"
Age: 45
Starting weight January 2019: 150 lbs
Current weight: 134.2 lbs
Ultimate goal weight: 130 lbs (I will reassess once I get there)
Goal this round: To get under 134 lbs. Honestly, this close to the holidays, I'd be happy to not gain.

I'm a pickleball addict and have been plagued with shoulder/chest/elbow/wrist injuries for about a year. My new plan is to incorporate strength training.

Day/Weight/Comment:

12/09 (Monday) - 134.2 - the weight is going to come off slowly partly because that's my MO and also because I'll be strength training and hopefully adding muscle. Took my measurements last week and will compare those in a month or two. Feeling motivated and on task!

12/10 (Tuesday) - 134.2 again - works for me. I kicked yesterday's behind. 2 hours of pickleball and 30 minutes of strength training (chest and triceps). And ate on point, ended the day with a protein smoothie for dinner. Was pretty exhausted by the end of the day and thought I'd be crazy sore this morning but I'm only a little sore, not too bad at all. Today is a rest day, will do it all again tomorrow. Planning homemade vegetarian chili for dinner tonight. I find it harder to eat right on rest days - partly because I'm not busy working out so I get bored and hungry and partly because I don't have the extra calories available from exercising.

12/11(Wednesday) - 135.2 - hmmph. I’m sure I’m holding onto water as my muscles repair because I am sore from the weight lifting Monday. That has to be it because my calories were under goal yesterday. I may have also had a tad too much salt in the chili last night. Not to worry, still on the right path.

12/12 (Thursday) - 135.0 - Completed day 2 of my new strength training routine yesterday (back and biceps) and I am so very sore this morning. But that's a good thing, looking forward to getting stronger and thwarting any overuse injuries from pickleball. Today is usually a rest day but I'm going to do a pickleball drills class for a couple hours, plenty of cardio. Feeling good and trying not to get frustrated with the scale. I knew adding strength training would stall out the scale, just need to be ok with it. Ate great yesterday, the scale will come around. Crustless broccoli quiche for dinner tonight.

12/13 (Friday) - 135.0 - again. Expecting the scale to give me a nice drop soon, maybe tomorrow? Had a nice legs and shoulders workout this morning followed by 2 hours of pickleball. Plenty of calories burned, just need to eat on point the rest of the day. No pickleball this weekend, the courts are booked for a volleyball tournament. Will have to find some other way to get my exercise.

12/14 (Saturday) - 133.8 - woot! There it is. Now to keep it there. Planning drinks and dinner out with friends tonight, will find a way to make good choices.

Day/Weight/Comment

12/09 -205.9 Yesterday I was able to keep my evening snacking under control. I'm going to try to go out for a run tonight before it gets dark outside.
12/10 -206.5 I got home late yesterday after work, so it was too dark to run outside. I may have to bite the bullet and go to gym and run on the treadmill after work today. I did not get enough water today, working on that today.
12/11 -206.5 Yesterday at work there was a Christmas lunch and cookie exchange, and, assuming everything goes as usual, I expect a bump on the scale in another day or two. However, I am proud that I didn't go totally overboard and only ate those things that I really wanted to eat and enjoyed. Strength coach tonight.
12/12 -205.9 That's a surprise. Getting a massage tonight.
12/13 -206.1 Sore from my massage yesterday. Plan is to go to gym today.
12/14 -206.5 Didn't do anything last night, I was so tired. Felt heavy this morning, so not surprised about the uptick on the scale. Goal today is to get my water in.

Day/Weight/Comment

12/9: 219.2 (-0.2)/18.4 (0.0). I had a "day out" that included dinner out with my wife, brother-in-law, and his girlfriend. I ate reasonably, and shared some ice cream with my wife as we walked around after a movie. I'm STILL sore from basketball (on Saturday), but it's a "good" sore (muscular, but nothing "pulled").

12/10: 219.4 (+0.2)/18.4 (0.0). For some reason my "good sore" turned into both of my knees hurting pretty bad yesterday. They're better today, but that was at least mildly distressing. The next couple of days are going to be pretty busy for me. I likely won't get to the gym until Thursday or Friday; I'll just think of the next couple of days as continued recovery from one day of basketball. Hmm... maybe I need to reframe that.

12/11: 219.8 (+0.4)/18.4 (0.0). I'm having some minor medical issues to go along with my migraines, which have been off-and-on since last Sunday (a week and a half). If I wasn't aware of it before, medical issues are a trigger for me; I apparently believe that all of my symptoms will disappear if I eat enough food (I have no evidence to support this theory, by the way). I'm struggling to stay on the right track. I'm not going to be able to go to the gym until Friday, which is cramping my good workout habits as well. I will keep trying to right this ship, however. I'm not giving up!

12/12: 219.6 (-0.2)/18.4 (0.0). I went to my parents to celebrate my dad's 78th birthday. I tried to be good. I'm not really trusting my number here. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I CAN'T WAIT to get back to the gym tomorrow. My body creaks when I'm away for too long.

12/13: 219.4 (-0.2)/18.4 (0.0). I got in a weird "fight" with my wife last night. She came down the stairs and started telling me something like, "We need to do a better job taking care of our plants." I quickly informed her that "we" didn't need to do a better job; SHE did. I don't buy plants. My wife has a "black thumb" when it comes to them. She does not ask me for help, she does not give me any information regarding the care of any of the plants she brings home, and it's my belief that randomly watering plants (not knowing what she is doing) is likely a bad thing. Hmm. I just repeated everything I said in our fight. She got really mad at me. I hope she still wants to go to the gym tonight. Looking at what I said, I'm pretty sure I could have handled the conversation better.

12/14: 218.8 (-0.6)/18.4 (0.0). Today is better than yesterday. I feel like I'm in a bit of a holding pattern, but at least things are slowly moving in the appropriate direction. This will probably go at a quicker pace once the chocolate-covered macadamia nuts disappear from my home.
