Ready for my round 37
OSW 88KG
RSW 61.1(-26.9 kg) or {- 59.3lbs}
Goal... Less than I started
12/29 60.95kg...getting there
12/30 60.15kg. Ready to exercise again after lazy day yesterday.
12/31 60.55kg just one of those things. Travelling day tomorrow. Packing up today.
01/01 60.15kg but will be up tomorrow after a few gins last night. Happy New year! All day in the car today. Appointment booked at the gym with trainer for 9am tomorrow. I can't wait! I have tried to work out while I have been away but it isn't the same. Struggling to come to terms with being the person who misses the gym....
01/02 60.85 kg which is not a surprise. I'm back to losing from today. Gym appointment in a couple of hours and I'm feeling inspired again.
01/03 60.65kg a great day yesterday. Back in the gym and a goal settling meeting with the trainer went well. Agreed I want to get strong this year and the session reflected that! Going back today for another session. Kept inside all my macros yesterday so going for a drop before the 1 year anniversary on Sunday.
01/04 60.1kg. Tough workout yesterday but so worth it. Hair cut too so I'm ready to go back to work on Monday. Going to have a quiet weekend with some stretching only.
01/05 365 days! 60.1kg. So after a year on mfp and keto (with a few slips of course!) I have lost just short of 28 kg or 61.5lbs. Not much loss these last 2 months but I can't claim a stall or a plateau because I haven't been strict. I aim to lose another 3kg {6.6lbs} and I have rededicated myself to this journey. Thanks to everyone here for the last 365 days and onwards to the next!
01/06 60.0kg...back to work and back to the gym at 5am.

Just seen this thread and it looks awesome- great to keep me accountable- hopefully. Been on MFP for ages, well always had it in the background. 2019 not been a good year weight wise, I’ve put on a shocking amount of weight after otherwise being a healthy (ish) weight for years. Anyway here goes....
Start Weight- 218.8lb
End of 10 day goal- 214lb
Ultimate Goal Weight- 175lb
Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 218.8lb
12/30 217.2lb 😀 (A good start)
12/31 217.0lb Had a very good ‘leg’ session at the gym yesterday and I’m feeling it this morning in my quads and calves. Back to it today, bench pressing and some HiiT on the stepper planner before the New Years Eve festivities. Takeaway has been suggested by family, so I’m going to let myself have it, but make sure it fits within my calorie goal for the day. Oh and 3 weeks into being alcohol free- taking my own AF beer!!
01/01- 219lb Good session at the gym yesterday and thankfully the gym’s open again today. Had a takeaway last night and probably indulged too much in nibbles etc. Stuck to non-alcoholic beer which is a win. I think the salt from the curry and nuts etc are causing this weight retention today. Stuck within my calories- just, yesterday so hopefully this will come off in the next day or so. Plenty of water today and easy on the carbs....
01/02- 216.8lb Stuck to my intentions yesterday. Made a lovely sweet potato and black bean chilli which made several portions 👍🏻. Another gym session today followed by an hour of football training, so plenty of cardio today. Going to have another day of watching carbs closely and drinking loads of fluid in order to flush out any remaining water weight from New Years.
01/03- 216.2 (Moving in the right direction)
Skipped the cardio aspect of the gym yesterday as my legs were in pieces after heavy squats and various isolation exercises. Felt like I could eat everything in sight yesterday- chose healthy (ish) snacks to eat rather than the masses of chocolate my misses has in the cupboard! Plan today is to do a chest session at the gym and stick to my food entered in my diary (I always log the day before).
01/04 216.6lb Not a massive change from yesterday so not bothered by the slight increase. Been much more active today, 5 hours of football coaching followed by an hour at the gym. Did some interval stuff on the elliptical after some deadlifts, strict pressure and other back exercises. Salmon and spinach curry for tea. Would like to reevaluate my 10 day goal to 215lb. Probably a bit optimistic with the original goal- especially with my body getting used to this new workout regime.
01/05 216.6 Same as yesterday, I know I’m not drinking anywhere near the amount of water that my body needs. I just can’t seem to get used to drinking so much of it. Always drink 1l at the gym, then probably only another 500ml in the day. Going to the gym (11th day running) for a leg session, always love the sessions as my legs are too sore to attempt cardio 😀😀😀.
01/06- 216.2 At least it’s on its way down! Back to work today so should be a bit kore active in addition to my gym session tonight.
Not going to bother with the staff room today- too many sweet and savoury treats will be brought in from Christmas; stay in my room and resist! Plus I can’t do with everybody having the same conversation 30 times!!!! Hope to get under the 216 mark for the 10 day mark, which will take me to 3lb lost for the 10 days which I’m pleased with.

01/06 154.8 (-0.0) No exercise and I also had a piece of cake and some ice cream so I'm quite pleased it stayed the same. I spent yesterday preparing for my daughters (11 y/o) ski school trip, she's never been skiing so I'm hoping she doesn't brake anything. She's leaving tomorrow for 12 days and I've been emptying our kitchen of all the junk food so I don't have any option but to eat healthy while she's away. I also would like her to get into some good eating habits as well when she comes back. I've got a dinner tonight unfortunately so my scale might not be so kind for the end of this round...

Back to life! Back to reality!
Last year, my goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
This year, I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
Last year, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
This year, I have consistently lost weight since the end of July. I have put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but am still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 83.4 kg wasn't hungry until evening, turned out as a OMAD kind of day.
12/30 83.1 kg happy that I seem to get back on track - and the cold is slowly going away too.
Started a food journal and also created related trackers in the bullet journal.
12/31 83,7 kg water weight obviously, I was well under my calories the day before. So it's okay with me. And I went to bed very late which was contributing to the gain probably as well.
---update in the night, New Years Eve:
I got invited to a great dinner in a fancy restaurant, so I restrained myself over the day and enjoyed the great meal in the evening even more. According to the stats I am still within the daily calories limit, even including the planned alcoholic beverages that I will drink in exactly 34 minutes:-)
Not too bad for a special day. Only (small) downside is that I am right now not in ketosis anymore most probably. But it will come back quickly. And maybe the carbs from tonight aren't not so bad for my body after all. As long as it is an exception. I even got in a walk of about an hour today, after a long time without exercise because of the cold (I still have). And I think I have found (finally) a solution for my old problem how to incorporate some traditional meals (high carb) into my eating habits without getting triggered anymore. I will test that idea tomorrow with an old favourite traditional food of mine. We'll see how it goes.
Okay, outside some early birds are starting their fireworks already, time to say the good ol' year goodbye. See you on the other side!
Happy New Year everyone!!
01/01 83,4 kg The idea of incorporating some of the unhealthy carby stuff - but in tiniest amounts - into my diet, worked. I took some precautions though so that I would later not give in an potential blood sugar spike and inhale the whole thing anyway.
I first threw away the bigger part of the unhealthy sugery bun, even poured some dish soap on top so that it was safe in the bin... It worked, there was a little spike but it was manageable with a little willpower. I also cooked another favourite meal, also in a ridiculous small portion. And it worked. I am quite happy about the outcome.
That way I can still enjoy food on the occasional holiday but it doesn't send me down the spiral anymore.
Oh, and I got an 1.5 hours walk in. Sun was shining, it was not too cold but crisp air. Nice. Calories intake was okay as well.
01/02 83,2 kg the occasional walk helps with my weight loss - I should remember this;)
01/03 84,1 kg most probably water weight. Yesterday I was over calories and also had more carbs, but nothing too crazy. The body obviously realized that I am not kidding and wanted some calories back...Still I am in a deficit for the last two days.
01/04 83,5 kg back to keto and did OMAD. I educated myself also about intermittent fasting and think for me that will be the way to go, combined with keto. Hopefully it will protect my metabolic rate as much as possible in the long run.
01/05 83,3 kg - even though yesterday I ate a bit over calories but in a healthy/fatty way... I guess the overall calories defizit of the week starts to kick in - at least I hope so.
01/06 82,5 kg Finally the needle starts moving! Yesterday I went for a 1.5 hrs walk and did IF/OMAD. I liked imagining when I went for that walk in the morning in a fasted state how my body was breaking down some older cells and that something good was happening there. Decided to go for another OMAD today because scedule. In January the plan is to do alternate days with tweaks if needed.

Not weighed in for ages. But eaten way too much over December and the holidays - Disney trip with the family, way too much entertaining, birthdays and on it went!
To top it all my Personal Trainer got married so haven't been to the gym for the last couple of weeks wither....
Back to some sort of normality today and I so badly need (and want!) to get back to proper tracking.
01/02 - 145.1lb - Uuurrrgghh - not seen the 140's for a long time - I know most of this weight isn't "real" weight but bloat. Should be out the 140's pretty quickly. Target for the remaining days of this round is to get back to tracking and normal eating and back to the 130's my mid January.
Back to work today - tough getting up as been going to bed way too late and hence getting up late - so the 6am alarm this morning hurt! Need to stay focused today as easy to eat junk and drink too much coffee when I'm tired.

01/06 - 143.2lb (-1.9lb) A few days not weighing (just wanted to start getting back to normal and also last few days with no alarm and hubby bringing me a tea in bed!) and just getting back to "normal" has paid dividends already. Gym yesterday afternoon after which I felt so much better too. Normality returns today - back to normal 4 days a week at work, girls back to school and college so this all gets a lot easier I think. Onwards and downwards
for me and back to daily weighing.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29—170.8 All holiday sweets are cleared from the house. I think I’ll begin the No Junk Food Challenge today for a week. After all the cookies, cakes, etc available 24/7 over the holidays, not only do I need to do this, but it may help with breaking that sugar addiction which will be difficult again. Hopefully, I’ll be able to stick with it most days at least. One day at a time! I’ve also committed to the 365-mile Challenge (not counting step miles) and recruited two long-time friends to share a spreadsheet to track our progress, so this should be fun, too. I did it two years ago (finished by June) and it was not only fun, but really helped keep me motivated to get outside every day weather allowed and get in a walk, bike ride, or hike.
12/30—170.2–Got in a 20 minute/5 mile exercise bike program; walked the neighborhood; was successful in the No Junk Food Challenge. I will track all my food today!
12/31—169.8—Goodbye 170s! Not going back. Hurt my back yesterday putting together a piece of furniture, but still hobbled around the neighborhood for a walk—not as long as it would have been, but at least I got our there. With all sweets out of the house, I already feel better! Goals for today: fast 16/8 or better, log all food and stay within calories, and get in a walk AND a bike session. Oh, and HIDE THE PEANUT BUTTER!
01/01–167.2—Love this!!! But I did work for it! Went for a longer walk, but the real difference was in my nutrition. Working in lots of veggies and several fruits throughout the day, even a little yogurt with fresh fruit as my dessert last night at dinner. No cheating yesterday. Success with the No Junk Food Challenge for 3 days in a row now. That always works for me if I will stick to it ruthlessly. Happy New Year!
01/02–169.0—Hiked yesterday, which almost always makes me tick up a little bit, but I also gave in to some LNS last night. Hopefully this will drop quickly again. Still a loss for the round so far though, so
01/03—167.8—Yay, headed back in the right direction. Got in a good workout early yesterday with my exercise bike, then stayed on plan for calories in the green. Have a breakfast meeting this morning at Panera—I will NOT have a cinnamon crunch bagel!!! I’ll need to repeat that mantra to myself multiple times between now and then. LOL
01/04–167.2—Did great during my breakfast with old friends—steel cut oatmeal INSTEAD of that cinnamon crunch bagel I love. Success! Also, got in an evening bike workout, so I’m happy with my day yesterday.
01/05—167.4—This is normal. I will not let it get to me. Still doing well with tracking and exercise, but I guess I could have done that bike workout last night even though I felt like my thigh muscles needed a rest. I walked yesterday morning since the rain had finally stopped.
01/06—166.8—Moving right along. Hope this holds till tomorrow! Got in a walk and a 39-min session on the exercise bike. Getting better at tracking water.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 - 388.6 - Walked around a local mall 1.2 miles, will take another walk after dinner.
12/30 - 393.4 - Forgot to weigh myself this morning so this is after lunch + haven't been out yet (later today, though) because of the rain.
12/31 - 389.1 - Tweaked my knee Monday night and haven't been able to walk. Rest is smart in this case. But I expect my weight to rise a bit tomorrow. I hate missing my walks.
01/01 - 392.2 - Knee is better, but outside walking may be out. Fortunately, the local gym is open today. Gonna try the Cybex to keep from stressing my knee. Also found that if I don't track my calories/food w/MyFitnessPal, my weight seems to go up a bit. So... back to tracking (NY resolution).
01/02 - 391.5 - Knee continues to improve, but I'll still use the Cybex at my local gym. I have to pedal faster than I like, but get done in 45 minutes. If I'm not lazy and track my calories properly (MFP) I see gradual decreases. When I'm an idiot...
01/03 - 389.9 - Back under 390 again. Knee feels good. I'll stay at the gym for, at least, one more day. But I want to get back outside. Now I'll start adding yoga and weights to my plan. Just use MFP for calorie tracking and it always works. Why I stop? Laziness?
01/04 - missed - not sure how. Had to go for a late night walk to get in my steps for the day (StepBet)
01/05 - 389.4 - Reinforcing my belief that, if I track my calories w/ MFP, my weight continues on a downward slope. Tried to walk this morning, but the wind is brutal. To the gym later.
01/06 - 387.6 - Good walk last night. Knees are achy, by not in pain. Just calorie count and track w/ MFP is doing it for me. Gotta start adding in yoga and weights to the plan.

My 61st Round!
Time to start counting calories again. I've finished over maintenance the last 3 rounds and it's time to get serious. I've read that 80% to 95% of people who have lost a significant amount of weight will regain it within 2 to 3 years. I've been part of that statistic in the past, but this time I'll be one of the 5% to 20%. I've managed to mostly maintain over the past year and I plan to continue into the New Year.End R40: 171 (-3)

12/29 - 147.5 - Holding steady. I logged all my food this evening and ended up at 1500 calories, which is more than I should have eaten (65 above goal after exercise calories). I need to log as I eat (which is how I lost weight before). I've gotten out of the habit and I need to get back. I also had extra sodium today, so tomorrow I may be up.
12/30 - 147.5 - I'm glad there is no Monday bounce. I've already logged my breakfast and since I'm back in the office I should do better drinking my water today.

01/06 - 153.2 - This isn't accurate, I did not get enough water in this weekend, yesterday especially. Also wasn't super hungry so didn't have much to eat at all. Batch cooked some fish and roasted vegetables for lunch Mon-Wed and will figure out something for lunch Thursday before then. I finally went grocery shopping for the first time in over a month! Stocked up on some meats (chili, steaks, stir fry, and roast) and chicken stock (I was out) which should get me through the month. I have more fish and chicken in the freezer as well to get by (I'm thinking another batch of chicken and rice? I'm drowning in the rice BF left me on his move and the rice and a half package of spaghetti noodles is all that's left non-primal in my pantry). Only thing I may still need is vegetables but I have it in my budget for one more trip to stock up on those once I see a decent sale. I finally feel like I can get my eating back on track (and mostly primal) now that I'm not trying to make something out of my sporatic inventory. Budgeting isn't easy but eating only what's on hand has helped SO much. Debt payoff (while still eating well), here I come! Finally, I did day 3 and day 4 of Yoga with Adriene so I'm all caught up. Day 5 tonight after work! I'm sore and it feels amazing. Best decision I've made this year.
01/07
Previous Day's Comments12/29 - The scale behaved better this morning. It actually shifted numbers when I moved so I believe this weight. Not bad for having an early dinner out with friends and a few drinks. I did wake up extremely thirsty so I drank almost a full bottle of water before I even got out of bed so I'm sure this is a bit higher than it would be had I not done that. Honestly forgot about weighing until I finally got out of bed and went into the bathroom. Quite happy to see 154.x again despite the water chugging.
12/30 - Holding steady, I'll take it. I was so hungry so I ended up having a really early dinner and then was hungry again when I went to bed. I knew I'd get a stomach ache if I ate that close to bed and it wasn't painful hunger so I let it go. Not hungry at all this morning so I'll take that as a win. Trying to fast until 11 (our lunch) and start this week with a good 19 hour fast. Also love work weeks simply because I'm THAT much better with my water intake. I get so lazy and forgetful at home. Goal is to continue water intake on Wednesday when I'm off.
12/31 - Hello again, how I've missed you! Hoping to say goodbye to 154.x and above as I say goodbye to 2019. Came in early to work so I can leave a little early for the football game and hopefully make my spinach artichoke dip for the group after. I still have to get some groceries for it so I'm not quite sure if it'll be for tonight or tomorrow. We shall see how things go. Happy New Year all!!
Edit: Boo, I realized TOM will be here any day now to help me ring in the new year. This makes me worry I'm not going to be saying goodbye to 154.x and above after all. Going to just have to work extra hard to stay on top of things in hopes I can avoid a blip (or that any loss is greater than or equal to any TOM blips I have)
01/01 - Hello, TOM. Hello water weight. This is expected, not too upset by it. We didn't really have "dinner" and instead had a bunch of finger food (chips and dip, bacon wrapped smokies, bbq smokies). My neighbor taught me how to make his family's chip dip and I loved it! Too many super-salty chips throughout the night. In hindsight I should have made sure to eat a proper dinner before starting on the snacks so I wouldn't be so hungry. Only had 2 drinks before the small glass of champagne at midnight. Hopefully this weight will be down very quickly and I'm sure I can before the end of the round. TOM bloat should be gone no later than Sunday and the salty water weight will be gone long before that as long as I can stay on track.
01/02 - Holding still. At least I can be happy that I haven't increased! Bloated like no other (I had too much dairy, lactose sensitive) I took my lactose pills which eased the discomfort from it, but didn't seem to ease the bloat itself. Going to push water today and try to watch my evening eating. Shouldn't be too hard now that the madness of New Years is over and normalcy resumed (was planning a low key event for New Years but my landlady came over and made it into a party and we are still recovering from her. All struggling financially so we don't want to waste the leftover food). Hoping, if I don't eat any more dairy, I'll lose the bloat by tomorrow and drop some water weight with it. I'm determined to get back down!
01/03 - Little bitty drop, I'll take it. I was so hungry last night -- my stomach HURT because I felt so hungry. Not sure what that was about. I ended up really thirsty, too, and almost met my water goal in a 2 hours span. Guess my body needed a bit of a flush. Still struggling with TOM issues (bloat and general sluggishness) but hoping it'll be over by tomorrow, I hate feeling like this. It seems worse than normal, but I know its because of my not-so-great choices with food, activity, and stress levels. I know I can control how my body feels but I seem to forget in the moment how that food, water, relaxation help. Leading me into: Today is Day 2 of Yoga With Adriene 30 day HOME. Excited to see where this takes me!
01/04 - Keep on swimming, keep on swimming. I'm not too sure I'll get down to 153.x before end of round if I keep dropping this slow. Maybe I'll have a whoosh soon, but I'm not holding my breath so I don't get disappointed. At least I'm dropping and trending back downward so I cannot complain. Its been a rough week with migraines, nausea, and insomnia. But I'm pulling through and determined to get back on track!
01/05 - The whoosh I was hoping for yesterday! Hopefully this keeps trending downward. Not quite sure I'll see 153.x this round as this is a big whoosh, but I'm okay if I don't. Its my own fault for not getting back on track after my 156.x reality check. Been hanging out with my neighbors all weekend so my eating hasn't been fully under control. I need to work on that. Its not horrible, but snacking and beers is doing me in. At least we made a deal that we need to get out and go for walks after work. I introduced them to Stepbet so I think we may take part of one of those in the near future. If there's money on the line, we are so much more motivated haha. I stayed up and watched the game last night so I didn't get my day 3 YWA HOME done. I'm about to do Day 3 now, take a short break, and do day 4 (today) before I even get showered or dressed to go watch the games today with my neighbor. (This was the plan yesterday, do day 2 in morning, do my 11am meeting, then do day 3. Except the meeting didn't happen and I sat around waiting since we are in different time zones. Nothing. By then I needed to get to the grocery store so I could get food for dinner and then over to neighbor's. Today I'm stocked up so the only timeline is the games. I can't watch football until I'm caught up!)

01/01 – 197.5 – haven’t done well the past couple of months.
01/02 – 195.1 – Must have had some water weight. Rowed for about 10 minutes yesterday, recorded all my food, no alcohol, and drank my water.
01/03 – 193.1 – I know this won’t last. I was around 190 before the holidays and I know how hard that was to take off. Didn’t exercise yesterday, but recorded all my food, no alcohol, and drank my water. Just need to keep this up.
01/04 – 193.6 – Was expecting this. 15 minutes of rowing yesterday, recorded all my food, no alcohol, and drank my water.
01/05 – was out of town, so weight. Hiked for 2 miles. Recorded all my food, no alcohol (even though I was out of town), and drank my water.
01/06 – 193.3 – Still OK. No work out yesterday. Recorded all my food, no alcohol, and drank all my water.

Back for Round 100
Female / Age 62 / 5'2"
OW: 158.5 (12/30/18)
UG: 135.0 (for now, healthy weight for me)
Thanks @GrandmaJackie for getting us started! I've been mia, but have been tracking and I'm jumping back in! I've been following along and keeping up with everyone, but not posting myself. Big congrats to everyone making it through the last few rounds. Whether you gained, stayed stable, or managed to move forward with a loss - that's a big accomplishment! This is an easy time of year to just throw your arms up in defeat - and you stayed the course!
A big welcome to all the newbies jumping in with your goals for the New Year! The first step is the hardest. Just remember, one baby step at a time - and don't tie your success (and self-worth) to a number. Small changes add up, and you've stumbled into an amazing group
Intro:Let me introduce myself. I struggled with my weight as a teen, topping out at nearly 200. I dropped it after high school and got to a healthy weight. Every major life changed has brought weight back on - having kids, pre-menopause, menopause, family tragedy, post menopause. I've knocked it back down each time, and have been surprised that each time required a different strategy, and resulted in a different type of lifestyle change to maintain. Each time as been much harder and slower. At this point, it's moving off at a snail's pace.
Motivation. I have a hyatial hernia. It does not bother me as long as I keep the weight at 150 or below. Every female on my mother's side has had arthritic knees, and I'm starting to feel twinges. They have also sustained falls and broken bones. My husband had a major health scare a coupe of years ago. The idea of being put out of commission by a preventable injury or illness scares the bejimminies out of me.
Goals. The goals at this stage are to drop weight to a healthy range, realign my eating style to a lifestyle that will keep me healthy into my golden years, and strengthen the muscles that support my knees, ankles, and shoulders, along with my core, to prevent injury.
Dropping weight post menopausal has been so difficult, I need this to be the last time. 10-15 pounds used to be easy to drop, so that was always my warning bell to focus. Not so much now. Looks like a 3-5 pound fluctuation will be it.
A healthy weight for me is 135-140. I've always looked anorexic at 120. We'll see how things are at 135, and go from there.
Round StatsR95: SW 146.3 GW 146.0 EW 145.3 Results -1.0 loss
R96: SW 145.3 GW 144.0 EW 145.0 Results - 0.3 loss
R97: SW 145.0 GW 144.0 EW 143.8 Results - 1.2 loss
R98: SW 143.8 GW 142.8 EW 145.3 Results - 1.5 gain
R99: SW 145.3 GW 144.3 EW 144.6 Results - 0.7 loss
Strategy: Up the hydrating foods. Fruit with breakfast. Salad/veggies as bulk of lunch. Healthy dinner. Limit/eliminate processed carbs and sugars. Zero calorie intake after 8pm. Strength exercises 3 days on/1 day rest. Regular movement through day to compensate for desk job.
R99 Challenges: My challenges this round will be finding and getting back to a routine. Life has been quite unfair as we moved into the holidays. My son lost his mother in-law in childbirth on Christmas Eve. She was just 48, and left behind three granddaughters who are devastated and the baby was transferred to NICU 3 hours away. My daughter in-law has been with the baby (who is stable now), and we have been trying to help my son with the girls. Then my mother in-law was admitted on Thursday with complications from pneumonia and passed away on Sunday. That things have been stressful and chaotic, is an understatement.
I am proud of myself for being mindful of my emotional and physical self. It will take a concerted effort to stay the course as our family navigates the changes. I spent some quiet time this morning doing my meal planning. I've also looked at my Round Stats, and see that I stayed stable over the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays - that's huge!
R100 SW: 144.6

12/29 (S) 145.3 (Trend Weight 144.6)
12/30 (M) 145.5 (Trend Weight 144.7) This is my one year mark for refocusing on my health, and how my eating and exercise plays into that! I am 13 pounds down and 10 pounds away from my UGW. Who'd have ever thought it would be this long and hard?! I am hoping that this is a sign that the loss is not only sustainable, but that the hard fought changes in my habits are becoming ingrained.
12/31 (T) 144.8 (Trend Weight 144.7) Not much to say here that I haven't already said. I am being mindful of my eating, but I need to refocus on fluid intake and exercise. Actually considering investing in a treadmill - this is the first time I have ever felt that I am disciplined enough to use it. I'm watching sales, and sneaking some time in to clear a space for it.
01/01 (W) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.7) Fixed a Tex-Mex Chicken Soup in the crockpot. Healthy and easy, and should get a couple of days out of it. Son dropped the grandkids off so he could go pick his wife up. Will be a bit of schedule. Again. I have had some water already, though! I need coffee. Not going to be enough coffee in the world today. Lol
01/02 (T) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.7) Steady. Better than a gain. Grandkids went home last night. We're still off schedule, and I'm still off routine but staying mindful of what I'm eating. I imagine this is going to be the norm until after the funerals. Mother in-law's is Monday. They haven't scheduled the one for my daughter in-law's mother yet (still waiting for autopsy). I've started cleaning and getting ready for influx of family. I have until midnight to decide whether to invest in treadmill (then the coupon expires).
01/03 (F) 144.6 (Trend Weight 144.7) lol 3 days of holding steady. I'll take it. I'm actually surprised I didn't bump up a little. First day in several without the grandkids. I feel asleep early and missed dinner then woke up hungry, so dinner was around 10pm. Late night eating generally reeks havoc with the scale. This was a nice surprise.
01/04 (S) 146.2 (Trend Weight 144.9) Yikes. That's partially the bump I expected yesterday from Thursday's late dinner, and part a comfort food binge yesterday. Need to get back on my plan. A couple of you mentioned Adrienne's 30 day yoga challenge. Sounds like a good way to ease back into exercise. Signed up this morning and watched her intro video and Day 0. Plan to do the Day 1 video this afternoon.
01/05 (S) 144.5 (Trend Weight 144.8) I think I need that bump yesterday to snap me to reality. A little surprised that it bounced back down so quickly. I'll take it and be cautiously optimistic that I can hold it. I was back on plan yesterday - ate at deficit, got the Day 1 yoga in, and hit my hydration goal. Onward
01/06 (M) 146.0 (Trend Weight 144.9) Almost have to laugh. Weigh-in is after coffee and earlier than normal. I seem to be having some trouble with my hip and yesterday was over on sodium. This bump is likely a combination of that, so not too worried. Got Day 2 in of yoga challenge yesterday. Not a huge calorie burn, but the stretches actually make my hip feel better. Today is mother in-law's funeral. Expect routine will be off.

12/30: 287.6 lbs (-2.0) … back on track as of yesterday. Ate reasonably and within budget, and was rewarded with a nice loss on the scale when I expected I had gained more. My first time weighing in a week.
12/31: 285.3 lbs (-2.3) … more water weight loss. Back over the 100 lbs lost mark where I was previously, and that feels good. Hope everyone has a nice New Year’s Eve!
01/01: 289.0 lbs (+3.7) … indulged a bit on New Year’s Eve.

01/04: 283.6 lbs (-5.4) … further reduction of water weight!
01/05: 283.0 lbs (-0.6) … feeling good today. .2 lbs from my previous low. Went to the gym this afternoon.
01/06: 285.0 lbs (+2.0) .... /shrug. I ate light yesterday so I’m not sure what this is. Either way, it’s temporary.

01/06 165.4 lbs. My calories have been within range 1200 to 1500 but closer to 1500, maybe I need to get closer to 1200 today to get down to goal weight for this round.

My 2020 goal is to continue to learn how to eat and lose wieght. My top weight was 203 pounds and I am now at 183. It has been a challenge and I don't feel I have a handle on the losing weight process.
I am committed to tracking as honestly as I can on MFP. I follow a way of eating (WOE) promoted by Dr. Ludwig. His method involves low/no sugar or other "white" foods. This WOE encouraged me to add more protein and fat to my diet. I eat either fruit or beans at each meal as a carbohydrate balance. Of course, all natural foods, no processed. I am only 5'2" ft tall and am 63 years old and that gives me a challenge.
I have a gym membership and I am working on a fitness program that includes cardio, weights, and swimming. I also walk three miles a day. I am retired so this is not a problem.

01/03 183 home scale/
01/04 186 after breakfast with clothes. Yesterday I didn't exercise because I had a medical infusion and needed to rest. I'm feeling ready to tackle this.
01/05 185 home scale. This was higher than i expected. I did eat 1600 calories yesterday. The biggest thing is that I had eggs with chorizo along with my usual coffee/collagen/half&half/fruit breakfast. I changed my MFP goal to lose 1/2 pound per week and it gave me a total of 1435 cal/d with 1200 cal/wk of exercise. This may be more realistic because I do not do well with hunger. I'm also going to order a new home scale that measures to the tenths. I love the 10 day challenge.
01/06 182 Okay the scale got back in line. I ate 1435 calories and had a 345 deficit due to exercise. I went to my new gym and incline walked on the treadmill. I used my new heart rate monitor and spent 38 min in the green zone (70% of max). I didn't get my walk in because I was invited to dinner at my son's house at the last minute. I did a good job tracking and eating healthy. I am very hungry this morning and I think that is a good sign. I was hungry about 10pm and I ate a chunk of cheese before bed. My eating plan for today is breakfast:coffee/collagen/half n half/walnuts, lunch:onion soup/meatballs/beans, dinner: AH chicken parm exercise: morning: walk 3 miles, afternoon: gym: cardio, lower body strength, swim. This will be a big time commitment but if I am serious this is what I should do.

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.
SW Rnd 100 121.0
**********
12/29 122.5 No explanation for this bump unless it was the small bit of baked white potato at lunch yesterday or the little bit of dark chocolate (no sugar) from the night before. May not have had enough water. Low calorie, great macro day so not worried. Woke up at 3:30-the cat was crowding me off the bed.
12/30 122.5 Car woke me at 5, I was super tired so put him in his crate and went back to sleep. (He loves his crate and frequently goes in there to nap) Woke when the alarm went off at 7, got dressed and went to have labs drawn. You all know I’m really NOT a morning person. Going to a friend’s house to sew today so haven’t read all posts but I’m at the top of page 4.
12/31 122.0 I just ate a hearty breakfast - mostly. I’m not a breakfast person but hadn’t eaten since lunch yesterday and was getting the shakes. I had a fried egg with 2 extra yolks and a piece of leftover steak AND a Thomas’ English muffin. DH bought those to have the 2 days we were on the pre-cruise stay-cation. There was one left so I threw it in my bag and kept it refrigerated on the cruise and brought it back home. I grew up eating those and it had been calling to me since we got home 9 days ago. Now it’s gone. My carbs are going to be through the roof but it’s okay. This too shall pass. Looking forward to thee beginning of the new decade A YEAR FROM NOW.
01/01 122.0 Today is round 2 of (only one pan) sticky buns, this one for our cruising pals. I may have to do a round 3 after our neighbor returns from Alaska.
01/02 121.5 I ate no sticky buns yesterday and as a consequence of that, fasted until after 5pm.
01/03 120.5 I again got kicked out and couldn’t get back to the message boards.ARRRGH! My “progress” showed up but my day count was 0. I get the following screen when I try to go to “community.” Tried again and it tells me my session has timed out! Of course I never actually got in but. . .
01/04 121.0 Today is the 49th birthday of our first born and she and her SO are taking their Westie to cross the rainbow bridge. I’m crying and sure they are too. Please say a prayer for mbabydoll and Andy.
01/05 121.5 Going to friends for dinner, will make that my OMAD.
01/06 123.0 Up too early, late for us dinner last night (best steak EVER!) and sautéed cauliflower with garlic and cheese, no TMI. Semiannual doctor appointment today.8 -

Too late to edit my post but little thing I thought of just now:
152.0lbs was the max weight for my age and height in the Army. Meaning I'm at about my post-surgery Army weight right now! (I always had to push myself to lose the extra 1-2lbs to get down to that in time for weigh-ins since I couldn't work out very much to maintain my not-so-great eating habits)
Next goal: 140-145 as that's where I hovered pre-surgery while in the Army. I was still a little chubby back then but I wasn't eating well, just a lot of movement to make up for all the junk and bad stuff (skinny-fat, I guess). Now I want to get to 140 and NOT be skinny-fat, but be healthy. Will reassess if I feel the need to lose a little more at that point, but (really difficult) baby steps first!
