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.
01/07 – 193.8 – Not what I was expecting, but just need to keep going. Rowed 15 minutes, recorded food, no alcohol, and drank my water.
End R100 – 193.8 – Round loss 3.7lb – Loss to date 7.2lb

01/07 - 152.8 - Ohhhhhkaaaaay... Maybe yesterday was a little more accurate than I thought? Was NOT expecting this. Though I didn't get to each lunch (heated up lunch, sat down, took two bites before I got pulled into meetings for work that lasted up until I headed home for the day.) I had some steaks that needed to be cooked before they went bad so I just saved yesterday's lunch for lunch today and ate my steaks for dinner instead. I still expected a bump or at least something steady since my water was higher than Sunday's was (though not where I want or it needs to be). YWA HOME practice day 5 completed. I did NOT want to do it, but I did it and after was so thankful for it. Only 25 more days to go! Hopefully by then I'll be more excited but I'm still building the habit and I'm feeling super weak (This stuff used to be easier when I was in the army and practicing more) so I think its a mental barrier I need to break through. I will with time and consistency (:
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!)
01/06 - 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.

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)

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
12/31 - 147
01/01 - 148.5 - We had a great time with family and overnight guests.
01/02 - 147
01/03 - 147.5 - I took 3 days vacation this week for the New Year. Back to work today and back to logging. I'm glad the New Year celebration didn't do too much damage.
01/04 - 147.5
01/05 - 147.5
01/06 - 147.5 - I'm happy that I didn't bump up over the weekend. Back to a 5 day work week and back on track.
01/07 - 147 - Okay, down a half pound for the round. I'll take it. See you next round!

01/03 164.2 lbs Already met this rounds goal, now to hold or loose more. Really missing the holiday cheer. LOL
01/04 165.0 lbs I knew it was to good to be true yesterday. I was over in carbs, but ok in calories.
01/05. 165. Lbs.
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.
01/07 164.0 lbs I made my calories more about 1000 yesterday. My family likes breads, pasta, etc. Hard to cook and stay under.
Completely my goal for this round, YaY. Lost 1.4 lbs.
Hoping to continue now, finally got rid of the leftovers and going to grocery store today to restock.
Thank you for setting up these rounds, they have been so helpful to me.10 -
Thanks @grandmajackie, this challenge is great. First time joining in. I love setting short-term goals and everyone’s posts and successes are so motivating. Two days ago I hit my heaviest weight ever. I’m on my third day of eating healthy and exercising.

Previous posts12/29 - 183.9
What I did well: Ended 16/8 intermittent fast at 10am this morning for 18 hrs fasting. This works for me because I'm not hungry in the mornings. I can go to bed hungry and wake up not hungry at all and I eat 2 meals the day my fast ends. Waterrower for 30 mins, actual calories (not net) 1197, started new fast at 3:30pm. No sugar. No processed food. 4 vegies.
What I can improve on tomorrow: Eat at least 2 serv fruit, drink more water - only 5 cups today. Add some reps with free weights.
12/30 - 182.7 Yay! Ended Fast of 18 hrs. Too early to doc how today went but I have to say I feel very optimistic. I have never joined an online group before and I can already tell the accountability factor, reading all your posts with how you're doing and seeing your progress is extremely motivating. Additional goals: be able to climb 2 flights of stairs in house without getting winded and not have my bra cut me in half - sorry to the guys on here.
Evening update: Calories 1015 (not net), rowed 30 mins, did some free weight, stopped eating at 4pm, and did NOT eat sugar, which is great considering my cravings are all-in after the holidays - but they are subsiding, thank goodness. What I need to do better tomorrow: did not meet my vegie/fruit goal unless you count white potatoes and onions in a ham casserole as vegies
Got to drink more water too!
12/31 - 180.9, and because i thought something was wrong with my scale
, I weighed again later and it was 181.0 so 5 pounds in 5 days, BUT readying myself if it goes up tomorrow to not get discouraged. I must have had a LOT of water weight after Christmas. I thought it would go up today because I ate bread and potatoes yesterday (but kept calories low and rowed). The bread I eat though is homemade english muffin bread. It's higher in protein because made with bread flour and whole milk - no butter, oil, or eggs and just 63 calories per oz (and so good). 1221 calories. IF 19.5 hrs. I'm going to drink a lot of water today to see if I can keep my weight from shooting up tomorrow. I will enjoy the moment though!
01/01 - 180.6. IF 18 hrs. 1138 calories. Shoveled a foot of snow off my deck - it took me forever but burned calories like crazy and so nice to just be outside. Rowed 10 mins. Today I will eat those 6 vegies/fruit I keep saying I'm going to eat LOL and drink 64oz of water! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. Here's to a very healthy 2020!
01/02 - 180.1 - 7th day sticking to it! If 17 hrs. I'm thrilled with the scale going down but also know that some of it is water weight from the holidays and know it will slow down and may even go up a little in the days to come. However, what I'm really proud of is that I've stuck with it this first week since for me (and most people I'm sure) the starting, or getting back on it, is the hardest of all. I know I'm going to do it this time! Starting to have health issues and hitting the highest weight by far that I've ever hit freaked me out big time. When I joined this message board, and it was the first time I joined one, I wasn't sure if it would help, but it's really amazing how nice and supportive everyone is and how it really does keep you accountable and motivated.
01/03 - 179.9 - Met 10 day goal - 6 pounds lost since I joined MFP on 12/27/19. Just squeaked it out this morning and finally back into the 170's!! Even if I go back and forth for a few days into 180's again, on this day I hit it and will enjoy it this morning. My goal for the rest of this 10 day period is to be solidly in the 170's to start the next 10 day challenge! Today will be the 7th day I've done intermittent fasting. In some ways, it's just happened naturally because I find when I fast, I start being able to go without eating somewhat easier and not as focused on food. Emphasis on "somewhat" as I'm not there all the way. Never being hungry in the mornings helps. However, last night I was very hungry. My average calories over the last 7 days has been 1163 (not net) with rowing every day but one burning 300 calories. I allow 1500 calories a day so if I go over 1200 I don't get into my old games of OMG I'm over by 1 calorie, I must eat everything in sight and start over, which means I'm going to eat for days as I try to get back on it. I've finally got it through my head that even an 1800 calorie day is better than deciding I blew it because I ate 1400 calories and must eat everything in the house! Another reason IF is good for me is my cravings are horrible in the late afternoon/evening so it's helping me to regain control of that time period. I'm going to up my calories a little and start snowshoeing or walking along with rowing. Challenge coming up: Playoffs and wanting to make all kind of good stuff. I think I'll do baked wings with very little blue cheese dressing! This is going to be a very fun weekend with all the games!!
01/04 - 180.0 - that dastardly scale - just kidding, expected not to be solidly into the 170's for a few days more at least. I intentionally added more calories yesterday because I was feeling weak physically. I'm proud that I didn't do what the old me would do and binge because I was going over 1200 calories and instead I had 1424 calories. I had pecans and added salt (another goal to reduce since I eat way too much). Best pecans ever - shipped from a farm in Georgia who has no other nuts which is great since I'm severely allergic to peanuts. Enjoy your weekend!
01/05 - 179.1 - Yesterday: 1093 calories, Rowed 30 mins, only 32 oz of water (horrible), only 1 vegie/fruit (what?) Okay, I am so happy to be losing this weight, however, this is about getting healthy in EVERY way. So, today, I WILL get 6 vegies/fruit in and drink 64 oz water!! That is my ONLY goal for today!. I'm upping my calories for the next few days also.
01/06 - 179.3 - Hopefully, I am solidly into the 170's now. I met my only goal for yesterday finally - ate 6 vegies/fruit and drank 64oz of water.
Will do the same today. Ate 2 slices of my homemade english muffin bread, took a day off from rowing, had 1292 calories. Beginning 12/27, I have had no sugar, no processed food, only white flour I've had is english muffin bread. And with IF at 18 hrs on average most days, my cravings have subsided quite a bit.12 -

Eat at/under calorie goal each day (I’m full time breast-feeding, so that’s still a lot of calories!). Be especially watchful of evening eating. Hydrate. Move. Lose any amount.

{Day/Weight/Comment}
▪12/29 - 187.4 - 59g carbs.
▪12/30 - 187 - Took the day off from recording in my food diary. I made everything that I ate, but did not feel like putting the recipes for all of it in MFP. I just estimated 2000 calories for the day.
▪12/31 - 187.6 - IF/21hrs. 104g carbs. Meal times~ 4:30, 7pm.
▪1/01 - 191 - Full of TOO MUCH!
IF/16hrs. 87g carbs. Too many days of high calories, high carbs, high sodium the last 2 weeks. I feel hungover and I don't even drink alcohol! Purging until Sunday.
▪1/02 - 187 - 72g carbs. IF/19hrs. Gradually stepping down the carbs this month, then back to 18/6 IF (or 19 or 20😐) and basic keto, 20g total carbs. Considering one weekly 24hr fast. I always have one day during the week that I am just not hungry, so I'll take advantage of it.
▪1/03 - 187 - IF /21.5hrs. 79g carbs. Carbs were lower until I decided to eat half a small grapefruit (16.5g carbs😢) Lol. No more grapefruit. I'll let my DH enjoy them. Today will be close to my target of 20g total. UNLESS, I decide to have a cup of black eye peas (25.5g carbs? hmmm) No.
▪1/04 - 188.8 😕 - IF/19hrs. 30g carbs. I don't know except for a return to exercising.
▪1/05 - 188.8 - IF/19hrs. 34g carbs. Not a minute's sleep last night😩
▪1/06 - 188.6 - IF/17.5hrs - I slept well, because I was so exhausted from the night before. Tried to power through my exercise , but I already knew that wasn't gonna happen. I will add it to today's workout. *So, so glad that the holidays are over. As I've said before, I don't celebrate them anymore, my family does. During the year, I don't have anything sugary in my house and only occasionally bread and crackers for DH & DS. Now that does not mean that they don't eat sugary foods all year, they eat plenty on their own, so when Thanksgiving and Christmas roll around, I buy a few things for them that they enjoy. Problem is, I eat it too, not a lot, but enough to create weight gain for my WOE. The REAL problem is I eat it because it's here. I still do not crave it. I eat it and it doesn't even taste good to me. The foods are too salty, too sugary, too pasty tasting. I eat it, because it's CRUNCHY or I can make it crunchy (bread) I desire crunch. How do I break that? Anyway, just my thoughts in words. Currently, I have had 13 days (just counted it) of no peanut butter. I have gotten into a habit of eating it to make up for the protein and fat I was missing in a day, only a lot of carbs come with it too. I will not buy it anymore.
*2020 is my commitment year to breaking 2 habits, crunchy, (no pretzels!) and peanut butter.
Okay, it's in the world now and I will do it.
▪1/07 - 187 - IF/20.5hrs. 23g carbs. Getting closer to that natural 24hr fast. Exercise is going well. My knee rules my activity. I hope I'm able to exercise daily this year.

12/29 - 174.8
12/30 - 177.6 Lots of cooking and eating with the family for a late Christmas. Entree was ham so retaining lots of water. Looking for a 1-2 lb loss tomorrow if I can stay out of the leftovers and candy still in the house.
12/31 - 176.8 Water weight is leaving but I was unsuccessful in staying out of the leftovers. I will keep trying.
1/1 - 177.2
1/2 - 178.8 I will not give up! Yesterday at home all day with leftovers from Christmas and New Year's celebration was too much.
1/3 - 177.2
1/4 - 175.0 Eating waaaay under calorie limit and bathroom trip yesterday add up to this impressive loss. I don't usually do well on the weekend but I'm feeling very motivated today. I've made a to-do list and eating junk is not on it.
1/5 - 174.2 Good day yesterday. The Christmas Tree is down and decorations put away. A lot of other household chores done. Sunny and 50 here today so hiking may be this afternoon's activity.
1/6 - 174.0 Good weekend. A few extra calories but a loss for the weekend is a definite change from the usual. Ready to finish out this round with a loss.
1/7 - 173.0 Feeling very positive. I'm prepared for the week and am going to crush this next round. Who's with me?!?13 -
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.

R100-D3
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.
10 Day Challenge Round 100
Starting Weight: 203
Current Weight: 183
Current Goal: BMI<30 or 164
10-day Goal: 182
Day/Weight/Comment
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. Iet '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.
1/7/20 184 Well this is typical. My weight went up and I think I did everything right. I ate about 1600 calories due to the amount of exercise I did. I was still in deficit according to MFP. All my food was homemade from scratch so it isn't from excess salt. I'll assume it is some kind of freak event. I walked three miles with my HR monitor and was in the blue zone for 45 minutes. Don't sweat the failure and be kind to myself. Stick with the plan, make sure I get enough protein, buy a new scale, get a good gym workout. Love the 10 Day Challenge.5 -

Round 99 EW 123.4 – 0.4 lbs gained
Day/Weight/Comment
12/29 – 123.4
12/30 – 124.4 – There is the slight bump I have been expecting. I have been eating horribly, so I have honestly expected more and sooner. TOM is also on its way.
12/31 – 125.0
01/01 – 124.8 – Happy New Year! Still maintaining, but time to do a little more. I need to get back to tracking my calories and some intermittent fasting. Also planning to start jogging again with the goal of a 5k in the coming months.
01/02 – 123.0 – Did good on the calories, eating window from 9-7, but didn’t drink near enough water. I expected a slight drop but am surprised by this much. Jogged/walked 2.16 miles, c25k w1d1.
01/03 – 123.8 – Calories were good again, a little extra snacking though. Eating window was from 12-8, drank more water but still not enough.
01/04 – 122.8 – Calories good, still not enough water. I was hungry yesterday morning so my eating window was 8-8. Busy day at work and rain all day so I didn’t get any miles in.
01/05 – 122.8 – Calories good despite cake at a birthday party, need more water. 12:30-7. Got in 2.51 miles, c25k w1d2.
01/06 – 123.4 – Same with calories and water. 1-9.
01/07 – 124.8 – Not sure what the reason for the gain is, unless it is delayed from the weekend but I really wasn’t that bad, or because I finally got all of my water in yesterday. 1-8. I have also had a headache on and off for most of the last 3 days, pretty sure it is caffeine withdrawal as I am trying to (temporarily) cut out diet cokes. 1.4 lb gain for this round, but I am still within maintenance.

1/2 161.0 I took a break from this challenge while I was on vacation and through the holidays. I tracked only intermittently and did not eat as well as I normally do, so I could NOT be happier that I'm only up .7lbs after 20 days of not consciously being "good". This a HUGE NSV for me. I didn't track obsessively and still basically maintained. If it hadn't been Christmas and I hadn't made those lemon butter cookies I may have been even better. I missed reading everyone's stories I'm catching up today! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!!!!
1/3 161.0 I'm always happy when it doesn't go up. The Mapmyfitness app has a You vs the year challenge. It's to run/walk 1020 kilometers, I missed it last year due to the stupid leg injury that derailed me for 6 weeks. I want to hit it this year. Fingers crossed for no injuries, I have 5 in as of today and hope to get in 12 or 15 in this weekend! I'm going to add it to this to help keep me accountable.
1/4 159.9 5 km I’m finally under 160 though only by a frog’s hair. Hey, the good news is only 1010 km left! Hahahaha. I’m really recommitted after that break.
1/5 161.2 0 km I expected a bump. I did not resist the sodium heavy chicken sandwich yesterday. I had just started my walk when my BF called with an emergency, so I didn't get any trail time
. Luckily the emergency turned out not to be so bad after all but it was too late to finish my walk.
1/6 159.6 5.6 km I'm so happy to see that number this morning. I was low on calories yesterday because I had a huge late lunch and ended up with fruit and cheese for dinner because I was just not hungry. I'm fine after a banana and oatmeal for breakfast.
1/7 159.3 Total 21km, less than 1,000 to go. HAHAHAHA! I had a nice walk yesterday, ran into one of my coworkers while on the trail. We were both technically "on the clock" but we have our phones which means we're answering emails and phone calls so we spent 5 minutes justifying being out of the office to each other. It was funny. Ordered pizza for kids and grandkid - one thick crust Cowboy (read ALL the meats) for them and a thin crust veggie for me. I have leftover for lunch and they did too. Good day.
Edit: Just realized it's the end of the Round. I am (not that it matters) no longer obese!15 -
@xcc670 Don’t be too discouraged. Weight is fickle. It sometimes takes a day or two for the body to catch up with our behaviour whether it be good or bad. 😂5

Okay time to get back on track.
12/29 – 272.6 Back in the right direction.
12/30 – 270.6 The first of many drops, I hope. I do know I’ll have a bounce on the first because of New Years Eve plans. Once that’s done though I have nothing going on until my husband’s birthday in February.
12/31 – 270.0 I went out for dinner and was okay until we decided to get desert. It’s okay though I didn’t plan to be back fully on track until tomorrow anyway. I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Years!
01/01 – 269.4 I didn’t end up as far off track yesterday as I feared I would end up. I’m hopeful of staying on track now that all the holiday activities are over.
01/02 – 268.6 If the drops continue I should be close to my previous low soon. I was on track yesterday and I’ve been getting out and enjoying the nice weather we’re having. Nothing like hitting 12k steps on the first of the year. My goal for this year is to lose 50 pounds and if I hit that early I’ll set a new realistic goal for however long is left. I happily ended last year still under the halfway point to my ultimate goal weight.
01/03 – 266.8 While it’s not all the way back to my lowest weight I’m really happy to see this number. It’s about where I was bouncing around during the early part of my break. I know that even if I don’t drop quickly from here due to water loss it won’t be long before I’m hitting new lows.
01/04 – 265.0 So much water drop, so much wow.
01/05 – 266.6 Hmm not 100% sure why the bounce up. It’s okay though I know it will drop back down again.
01/06 – 265.8 I’m both surprised and proud of myself this morning. I got honorable mention in one of my groups’ step challenge with 78,789 steps for last week! When I first started MFP I was always so jealous of how many steps everyone else posted about getting. I never thought I’d ever get even close to the numbers they had, so this is nice nsv for me.
01/07 – 266.6 I think it’s the usual pre tom bouncing as it due in a few days.
TRL -6.4 That’s most of the gain from the holidays.

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 or holidays.
12/29-172-What bread and salt do to me....
12/30-171-I’m glad it’s Monday; that gives me motivation to get back on track.
12/31-170–I’m off to the gym.
1/1-171-Not bad after all of the eating and drinking I did last night. I’m sore from the gym yesterday and will get a big walk in today. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🎆🎊🎈
1/2-170-Hopefully I can keep a downward trend. I ended up walking 3 miles with friends, yesterday; today I’ll walk 7 mi. alone.
1/3-170-Got my big walk in yesterday; I haven’t done that for a while. We are going ice skating today and that makes me tired.
1/4-170-Ice skated with my friend and we were the only women over 50, it was a blast and I got a work out.
1/5-171-Walked 5 miles but then proceeded to have drinks, chips and Chinese food.
1/6-171-Cold and windy, so no walk. Ate a big spinach salad at dinner; no big deal. Today we will spend most of the day driving to and from our old house to do some stuff, it’s been on the market for over a year and it is finally in escrow. We are so glad.
Good luck with a new week everyone, hopefully we can end this round on a good note!
1/7-169-Finally! I couldn’t wait to get back into the 160’s, however, today I leave to go skiing with my 81 yo uncle and 21yo son. It will be wonderful but I am bringing plenty of food for all; hopefully I won’t eat too much. Son will make me ski all day. I’m so greatful to spend time with family.💚 There will not be Internet and I’ll find all of you in the next round when I’m back on 1/10.11 -
My biggest challenge will be to make it through one day. Having a tough time and need motivation. 60 yo, 5’5”.
Day/Weight/Comment
12/30 / 125.6 / As a famous saying goes "Why choose failure when success is still an option"
12/31 / 125.8 / I’ll take this gain as we had a party yesterday. Hope to stay the course today!
01/01 / 125 / Goal: Relax today! - Didn't happen! I run a business and my wonderful Son-in-Law helped me upgrade my computer system.
01/02 / 125.8 / Not a bad eating day yesterday but could have been better. Would like to see some decent movement on the scale. Goal: Log everything. Press the “complete” button at the end of the day to provide more motivation!
01/03 / 125.8 / Emotionally a rough day. Did okay food-wise.
01/04 / Water aerobics, No weigh-in
01/05 / Wedding anniversary, no weigh-in, but have been watching what I eat and choosing wisely
01/06 / 123.6 / Surprise! Just confirming… those little things that I try to convince myself don’t really make a difference, do! I have been basically cheat-free (celebratory glass of wine for anniversary). Pleasantly surprised and super motivated! Aiming for a cheat-free day today.
01/07 / 123.6 / Kept to the plan. Feel good today. I think my moods were greatly influenced in relation to the poor food choices (sugar, fat, processed).
11 -
12/29 - 239.2 Wow this thread has exploded in the last day or two! I need to catch up! Weight fluxed up for no apparent reason, but a random pound back and forth is not unusual for me.
12/30 - 238.4 Okay at least it is headed back in the right direction. Portion control yesterday, but the weather was too nasty to consider a walk. Today looks like more of the same (thunderstorms, tornado watches), so no lunchtime walk in a suit, but at least I can take a leisurely few laps inside my office building (it has a perimeter hallway.) The rest of the Christmas cookies and fudge and candy went into the freezer last night, and some pastries and mincemeat pies are headed to the office to get them out of my hands.
12/31 - 238.8 Going sideways weight wise. Today's lunch is mostly fruits and veg, so that might help. But there is a NYE party tonight..... ugh. I just know it'll be fried things and sweet things and adult beverage things. My inner fat boy is still firmly in control -- I have to lock him up!
01/01 - 239.0 This is my last day of excuses. NYE party last night. Ate small amounts (for me) of nothing but crappy food, but did have two large cocktails. Today is a new start. Happy New Year, all!
01/02 - 238.2 Aaaand we continue our game of pinball! Back down again. Less food consumed yesterday, I just wasn't hungry. But also less activity than normal, so who knows. I will get a walk in today, somehow.
01/03 - DNW - stomach bug
01/04 - DNW - stomach bug
01/05 - 239.2 Okay, someone needs to explain to me how I can eat nothing but toast and coca cola for two days (plus some applesauce last night) and end up putting on weight???? Starting to feel human again (got to church this morning so clearly I am not an invalid) but no appetite for anything -- although I am knocking the heck out of a pot of coffee.
01/06 - 237.2 My body is clearly just messing with me now! (or my high tech scale is....)
01/07 - 238.012 -
Goals for 2020 — eat consciously and responsibly, exercise and meditate daily, get back to productive writing & painting, help people, be kind, learn new things, have fun.
Goals this round.... Back to healthful eating. Aim for zero added sugar, no white and almost no whole grain flour products, lots of protein, veggies, whole grains, and healthy fats. Back to the gym 5 days/week and outdoor walks/hikes when not icy. Meditate daily. 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏼🥗🍎🥕🥦🏊🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️

Small NSV — I baked a cake and a batch of cookies yesterday for events today and later in the week, but didn’t nibble.
No snacks during the day. Small snack in the late evening. Feeling motivated! 🥗🥚🍠🧘🏻🚴🏻♀️
12/30/19 - 175
Well, here we are at the end of another year and another decade. Here’s to all of us making way toward our goals in 2020!
12/31/19 - 175.4
Yeah, I snacked last night. Sort of a last blast. I also made chicken pot pie 🥧 from scratch for dinner, DH request, and it was delicious and rich and I confess, I ate more than I should have! Woke up to snow ❄️ so when it stops I’ll get my workout clearing the driveway and sidewalks. No partying tonight but I am planning to go to a women’s labyrinth walk and gathering, which should be a lovely way to see the old decade on its way. If you’re going out, be safe, have fun! 🎉
01/01/20 - 176
Time lag bounce there, I think. I did have the chicken pot pie leftovers last night, but ate close to calorie goal.
I expect a sodium bump tomorrow — DH wants to go out for Chinese. We had planned to do that Christmas Eve but I was sick. So it will be absolutely my last blast for a while, and I’ll stick to stir fry. Happy New Year, all!
01/02/20 - 176.6
Sodium. Chinese, and not enough water. It’s fine. Better days to come!
01/03/20 - 176.4
Have a great weekend, all!
01/04/20 - 176
I’m still struggling with the snack monster, but did manage to keep last night’s snack relatively low cal. Step by step back to the path. I did get started on my plan to rebuild my walking time. I used to walk 5-7 miles almost every day and stopped last year when I was in terrible pain from PMR. I’ve been walking sporadically that past few months but lost my distance mojo. I’ve created a schedule to add a mile a day each week until I can comfortably do 6 a day and occasional longer jaunts. Walking is so much more than exercise — it’s meditative and spiritual for me. So that’s the plan! Have a great weekend, all.
01/05/20 - 176
I overate yesterday but I got my walk in, so I call it a draw. Will try to do better today. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.

Stuck like glue. 😛 Still hoping to drop back to starting wait by the end of the round.

Whaaaa??? Yesterday’s calories just over 1200, and other than an ounce of cheese, no snacks after 6 pm. So I have no idea what this is. Has to be residual from 3 or 4 days ago. I even thought about cheating on my check in because it makes no sense. Harumph. But onward. See you in R101.

The best times for me is to stop eating at 4p or 5p and eating again anywhere between 9a and 11a the next day. Because I'm not hungry at all in the mornings, this works best for me. And you are asleep during most of the fast time . I have days where I end up fasting up to 18 hrs without really trying, again because I'm not hungry in the mornings and I eat a good meal right before I end my eating period. There are videos on youtube if you haven't checked them out yet. However, you might see where some people cut their calories down to 500 on days they fast - I do NOT do this. I still eat my normal number of calories - right now, between 1100 and 1400. Good Luck!! I hope it makes a difference for you, too!! Let us know how it goes.
@fmfdfa2020 Thanks. I’m aiming for about the same calories range as you. I am a breakfast person, so will probably fast from about 5:30 pm to about 8:30 am. That’s 15 hours, which is fine — I’ve read that women actually seem to do better with 14-15 hour fasting. I’m trying it this round and maybe next to see how it goes.
I appreciate the info and moral support!4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
12/29: DNW
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.
01/02: DNW .. didn’t want to focus on the uptick. I just got back to eating better and gave the scale a few days.
01/03: DNW
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.
01/07: 285.0 lbs (+0.0) … still up a little, but I’ll take it. 4.6 lbs lost in 10 days is still great.

01/02 181.3 Back on it!! I'm happy that I pretty much maintained over the holidays and while on vacation! I got sooo many steps and watched what I ate for the most part. Although I did have 3-4 days of eating waaaay too much chocolate lol. Now to lose the next 30lbs!!
I'd really like to get back into the 170s by the end of this challenge. I'm hoping I have some more water to get rid of too.
01/03 179.2 WHOA!! This means I probably did lose some weight while on vacation and it was just masked by water from the chocolate binge! I can't believe I'm back into the 170s! Now to stay there

Round 100
Please join us! Starting on 12/29 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 100
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

I believe I read somewhere about IF 16/8 that under 50ish calories does not count as breaking your fast, at least that's what I go with I'm not a coffee drinker but I do like a hot tea in the morning, so I do have that with sweetner and 2% milk when I get up and then don't eat solid foods until 11 a.m. or so depending on when I shut my eating window the night before. 3 -
Day/Weight/Comment
12/29: 173.9 lbs, highest weight ever today. I've gained 30+ pounds in a little over 3 months. I've not been able to work out due to a running injury, which has sent me spirally out of control weigh wise. Time to be accountable again and log and weigh daily to get this under control. I know what to do and how to be successful in losing weight, just have to start. I don't expect a loss for tomorrow but commit to achieving a loss going forward in the days to come. Starting over is hard, but I have done this before, so I know I can do it again. Looking forward to the next 10 days.
12/30: 173.3 Goals for this round are...pre-log daily meals/calories, IF 16/8, little to no alcohol consumption, and get my exercise back on track with yoga and tentatively see if my foot is ready to ease back into running.
12/31: 172.6 Yesterday was partially successfully with logging and eating IF 16/8 but not the best choices with food and went over on calories by having a couple of glasses of wine. Hoping today to get on my treadmill (hate running indoors but it is a snowy icy mess outside) and see how my foot feels. I have a NYE get-together to go to tonight but am thinking I will skip it, as I don't need the temptations of party food/drinks derailing the little progress I have made this week.
01/01: 171.3 Had a very nice NYE, low key with my family and even enjoyed a little cheese & crackers+ Champagne and still had a loss on the scale this morning. Just sticking to 1 meal today as we went out for brunch and I feel so full even though I made smart choices. I've decided to wait 2 more weeks to see how returning to running feels and I got in a good body strength workout instead.
01/02: 172 Slight blip up from yesterday, no real reason for it...could be because yesterday I slept in and weighed later than normal. I'm doing well with IF 16/8, drinking water, limiting alcohol, not eating outside of meals or overeating, & logging but need to be better with my food choices and staying within my allotted calories. Today I have a double workout planned with a total body barre video + the 1st day of the 30 day YWA, HOME practice, looking forward to getting back into daily yoga.
01/03: 170.4 Happy to see this loss on the scale today! Yesterday was all around good, meeting all my daily goals + I meal planned for the next week and shopped for everything. I think an important thing for me, is to be excited for the dinners I am making and not feeling "deprived" there. I have found I am much more in control of the choices I make during the day (when I tend to go off the rails), when I know that I have a great dinner to look forward to. I got in another good workout yesterday too but feeling super sore and then didn't sleep well last night and woke up with a major crick in my neck, hopping today's yoga helps sort these aches out.
01/04: 169.5 Yay! Out of the 170s, and determined to never be there again!!! Food wise everything was on track yesterday + plenty of water and no alcohol. I decided to make it a rest day and skip yoga as I had a lot of muscle aches from returning to working out. Was a good decision, feeling a lot looser today and ready to tackle another tough workout. It's dreary and raining with some icy sleet coming so plan to stay indoors most of the weekend and get all the Christmas decorations taken down and put away. Have a great weekend everyone!
01/05: 168.9 Slept in this morning and weighed late, so this might not be an accurate number, so there might be a slight blip up on the scale tomorrow & I'm ok with that. Spent the morning getting a Beef Bourguignon prepped and into the slow cooker for dinner tonight and plan to spend the rest of the day organizing kitchen cabinets/food pantry, removing more Christmas clutter and getting in a solid workout. I'm about a week into returning to eating IF 16/8 and feel a positive noticeable change in my hunger levels as everything is evening out.
01/06 169.1 Weighed in at my regular time this morning, so this is likely a truer weight than yesterday's. My initial goal for this round was to be under 170, but I would really love to end this round tomorrow under 169. Busy day today, but I need to make my workout a priority. I feel like I am doing well with my logging and staying within my calories but need to be more committed to finding the time to workout.
01/07 168.7 Goal Met! Total Loss this round 5.2 lbs. I know that most of that loss is water weight, definitely don't expect as big of a loss next round, but as long as my weight keeps moving in the right direction, I'm ggod. See you in Round 101 11
