01/08 - Forgot to weigh in
01/09 - 230.2 - Meh....so I've started with a trainer again and I'm registering for a OCR to make sure I have a goal to work towards. Fingers crossed!
01/10 - 230.0 - moving in the right direction, I suppose.
01/11 - DNW
01/12 - DNW
01/13 - 229.6 - I have been failing the exercise portion (with the exception of going dancing on Friday night). I need to get it together in that regard. I'm slowing going back to the water intake I had a few months ago (112oz).

My reason why: shore scuba diving trip in March 2020; I need to be strong and fit.
Goal: logging all food and exercise to find optimum weight loss balance.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08--207.0 My stomach did not feel well this morning, and I know I ate something that I am sensitive to. I'm going to drink a lot of water today, and be careful about what I eat today.
01/09--207.0 Stomach feeling better, but still not 100%. I was able to finish another session of YWA last night.
01/10--206.5 Went to the gym this morning. Finished Day 8 of YWA yesterday, it was a relaxing session, which I definitely needed.
01/11--206.3 Relaxing day today and going out to a movie.
01/12--205.6 I did not eat any of my hubby's popcorn during the movie yesterday, and what helped me was that I brought an apple with me to the movie. I didn't eat the apple during the movie, but by bringing the apple it helped me mentally, because it made me question whether I was really hungry before I ate the popcorn, or did I just want to eat the popcorn because it was there. If I told myself that I was really hungry, then I told myself, "well, you have an apple with you, so you can eat it once the movie is over." That self-talk helped me from mindlessly eating the popcorn. Strength coach this morning and then going out for an early dinner.
01/13--206.1 Yesterday, I went out for dinner yesterday, and I chose a great lower calorie meal. I also had a really hard workout with my strength coach yesterday, he changed up my workout for preparation of my Spartan race, and I am so sore this morning. Goal today is water. Ballet class this evening.

R101
56 year old, female, 6' ft
Heaviest W: 400
Current W:. 283.8
Challenge GW:. ( would like to lose 2 or 3 lbs this round)
Day/Weight/Comment:
1/08: 283.8
1/09: 280.6 (this loss is mostly water, been retaining it)
1/10: 280.8 (+.2 oz) ( increase) did some extra walking yesterday. Still having problems with retaining water. Which I'm a little worried might make me show an increase in weight. Which is what happens sometimes, but the water will go away and than show the true weight loss. Might not happen this round. My legs are really swollen.
1/11: 278.6 (-2.2 ) I'm very happy that the water I've been retaining is finally starting to come off.
1/12: 282.8 (+4.2) Yes, I've gained. Doctor put me on a medication and it does cause you to retain water. Untill my body gets used to it and then I'll start losing all the water and keep it off. Wish it would happen sooner than later. 😩
.
1/13: 281.4 (-1.4 lb) loss from last week. Hopefully the water is finally coming off and will continue to and stay off. My goal for this round was 2 to 3 lbs loss. I've lost (-2.4 lbs) from start weight.(mostly water weight) Hoping to lose 1 or 2 lbs of real weight, once water is finished coming off. Hopefully before R101 is over in 4 days.

@tiabirdie56 Tish, I was telling my daughter about my leg pain and she said her husband had the same thing and was told to apply pressure with a tennis ball between him and a wall. I got some tennis balls yesterday and tried sitting on one last night. AMAZING the difference and I dozed watching a movie in the process!8

Do you take measurements? I’m terrible at that myself but if you are losing FAT and gaining MUSCLE your weight may not change but your body composition will. A pound is a pound but muscle takes up less space! - Jpv, 11/22/19

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.

01/08 121.5 Late dinner last night, couldn’t go to sleep (drinking a Bang on the drive back from DGD’s basketball game wasn’t a good plan), awake early as DH had to take friends to the airport at 6.
01/09 121.0 Went to the gym yesterday for the first time in a long time (November??) My leg hurts - so mad I forgot to ask the doctor about sciatica-the assistant had made a note but then he and I got into a blood pressure med discussion and I forgot and he didn’t see her note, I guess.

01/13 121.0 BP check at doctor’s office this morning and meeting my friend at the gym this afternoon. BP’s are always good at home, we’ll see how it is at the office. White coat syndrome. Our baby turned 47 today!11 -
R100 1/7/20 -1.7 kg
goal: continue the alternate IF/Keto routine
Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 81,7 kg Yesterday I wasn't really into food, ate anyway to keep metabolism up and running. I think I have never been glad in my life before when I had not to eat anymore;)
01/09 81,9 kg went for a walk, calories were good and managed to fast 24hrs in between meals:) TOM soon to be there, I can feel that I have water retentions which will pass in a few days anyway. Today is a regular eating day. It's morning and I have a feeling that I won't be having any problems this time to eat more:-)
01/10 81,9* Food and calories were all good yesterday. Had a trigger directly after the second meal. When it feels like nothing is going to satisfy you..., probably because of hormones. ACV and green tea helped a bit. Only planned on a short walk, maybe 10 minutes and ended up doing 60 minutes:). Don't know if I wish TOM would be there already, then I get rid of the water retentions (well, that's the only pro...). Plan for today: Fast-day, maybe I make it to 24hrs. 5 more hrs to go:)
01/11 80.7 kg Nice! That's about the weight I had before Christmas. Tried MCT oil, only to learn that mine was made from Palm sth and is not good. So back to coconut oil. Why is that, that I mostly end up throwing away the fancy stuff and in the end stick to my natural foods:-)) I never learn. Should stop watching videos of men with big arm muscles and all the fancy products they are promoting...And it didn't make me more awake when I was tired. Taking an iodine pill did the trick much better. tststs...Calories were good, I fasted for 22 hrs. Exercised only a little, was tired. Which was to be expected - hormones (or rather lack of it shortly before TOM).
01/12 80,2 kg Went for a short walk, it was eating-day, was in calories. Two bigger meals were enough. So my next meal will probably tomorrow around 1pm. Noticed that my favourite ring fits comfortly, even after walking when fingers are thicker. Half a month ago it wouldn't fit at all.
01/13 80,2* kg Went for a longer walk and hit last weeks's exercise goal:) fasted for 24 hrs. I like the way that I feel in a fasted state. Everything feels a bit calmer and slower - but in a good way. Today TOM is hitting strong.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/8: 220.2 (+0.8)/18.5 (+0.1). Alright. I've had enough. Once I get below 215.0 (which I will, eventually), that will be the number that makes me refocus, no matter what. That's what 220.0 is for me right now. Time to get my $#!+ together. I'll be in the gym tonight. I'm going to make today a good day.
1/9: 219.2 (-1.0)/18.4 (-0.1). I hit the gym last night, and it felt much better than last time. My neck and shoulder are actually hurting less AFTER going, which for some reason is how my body tends to work. I've been dragging my feet on this, but I think I'm almost ready to give keto a go again. I've had a lot of success on it in the past, and I've been hovering between 215 and 220 for months now.
1/10: 219.0 (-0.2)/18.4 (0.0). I went a little wild with dinner last night after I found a really good local poke/ramen place. I'm finding myself REALLY sore today after the gym a couple of days ago. It's amazing how just taking even a week or two off can affect my experience there. I'm back on track with my schedule at the gym, however; I'll be lifting weights tonight after work. I really hope basketball starts back up again soon. I miss it, even though I know the first 2-3 times I play will be terrible. Getting older SUCKS!
1/11: 218.0 (-1.0)/18.3 (-0.1). I tried not to eat yesterday unless I was hungry. I didn't make it to the gym yesterday, but I'm going this morning with my wife. I'm going wine tasting and having dinner with my parents and wife today. I'll do my best to keep it "under control," but this would likely be one of those "cheat days." I'm going to focus on portion size.
1/12: 220.2 (+2.2)/18.5 (+0.2). I didn't do a great job of "staying under control."
1/13: 221.0 (+0.8)/18.6 (+0.1). I had a surprise 1.5 year old visitor yesterday (my nephew/Godson), and we "ordered in" dinner when his parents arrived to pick him up. I was pretty good throughout the day, but dinner was a bit of $#!+ show. I WILL, however, be going to the gym tonight after work. And I AM going to get this thing under control. Here's to everyone (including me) having a good week!

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Now I'm waiting to get my hip fixed. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh! I can't do any walking or biking...both kill me. I see my personal trainer three times a week. She is taking it very slow and easy with me.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 …..190.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/08 …..190.6 ….. A bit over calorie & carb yesterday so I’m glad to see no change actually. I walked at the school yesterday for 79 minutes burning an extra 467 calories. I was slowed down by a very nice older lady who walks daily to support her walking brother. I wanted to go faster, but wanted to be kind. I’m glad I did. She’s even nicer than I thought! What nice conversation we had! 12/13 fitbit step hours. I charged my fitbit overnight so I don’t know exact sleep either but it wasn’t good. I was a little better on water. Good Luck everyone this round!
01/09 …..194.0 ….. Travel day yesterday. Lots of sitting and a delicious menu to consider. If it was a test I failed it. Usually it is worth it, yesterday it was not. However, I did enjoy my time alone and away from home with my son who lives with me. It’s sometimes hard to get him out of his room and off the computer. That was the only thing I truly enjoyed. I am so glad to be home where I can get things back in control. I managed to burn 867 extra calories yesterday with the walking during the shopping. That is the only other bright light in the dark tunnel. Today I will begin my IF again. Today will be a good day. One day at a time in 10 day blocks, right? I’ve added my newest goal to this page, to be in the 170’s by Easter. Winter in isolated rural northern Michigan is a shut-in time but I can do this!
01/10 …..194.2 ….. This is just becoming very NOT FAIR!!! I had another severe glucose drop last night (it always happens evening or night AFTER I’ve had my allotted cals & carbs for the day). Frenzy filled face stuffing. I try to be mindful and trusting of the process of bringing it back up but I’m fighting human instinct here. To give you an idea, my glucose was 38. I think two things may be happening. #1 – my body has become re-accustomed to (too many) carbs between Thanksgiving & Christmas and is fighting me on the lower carb plan. #2 My weight is up, therefore, my T2D is worsening again. So the plan is to ease back into my low carb way of life which, in the end, is exactly what will help my T2D the most if I can just get past this hump again. (I went through all this is 2018 when I first started Keto). On the positive side, I walked 9.03 miles yesterday, I burned 3037 Calories. I walked over 21,000 Steps. I am back to staying active. The best part of all, I am committed. I’m just telling myself to “Hang on Donna. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.” I have moved past all of this before and I will do it again.
01/11 …..194.2 ….. Still working on balancing my glucose and following my plan. I must also work harder on the water!
01/12 …..194.2 ….. Talk about stuck at a weight! I felt a bit better yesterday without a major glucose episode but I can chalk that up to the fact that it was movie night with my son and it did involve a few more carbs than I normally allow, so no fuel cravings from my body. Today is a busy work day with lots of cabins to clean. I will get my exercise in and be mindful of my diet. I hope my body continues to adjust for me. I know it will…..it just takes time.
01/13 …..195.4 ….. Heavy work day yesterday including cabin cleaning & lots of snow cleanup (12.5 inches). Food on the grab not helping my cause. I will work harder today on myself. I hope to get to the school later to walk the halls. Steps good so far today at home. Perhaps some prep cooking tonight for my freezer if I can fit it in. I find that I am sleeping in the 4 hour range again these past few nights. That is not helping.

01/08 - 189.4! Wow, down already into the 180s My goal for this challenge is to be in the 180s by the end of it, so hopefully I can maintain this loss. Still feeling sick as a dog, I dont know when I'm going to kick this cold, it's been going on forever. But hopefully if I keep eating healthy and getting lots of sleep, it will go away soon.
01/09 - 189.2! So glad to stay stable! Still really sick, didn't get any work done today, mostly lay in bed sleeping all day. Hoping to be healthier soon but happy to at least still be making progress.
01/10 - 191... up quite a bit and very bummed. Hopefully it's mostly bloat from being sick, but motivating to be stricter about my diet. Feeling a little better today, so I am going to try to get some good work done today but not going to try exercising again until I'm all better.
01/11 - 191.4... womp womp, not what I wanted to see but maybe my body is just recalibrating after last challenge's huge loss.
01/12 - 191! Down a little bit, which is nice. Had a lot of trouble sticking to my diet. It's hard to keep motivation when the scale isnt cooperating, but I'm still so far from where I started that I shouldn't be throwing in the towel so easily. Did better with my diet today
01/13 - 190.4! Yay, at least back to where I started this challenge If I can maintain this or even lose a little by the end of the challenge, I will be happy. First day back at work after being sick, trying to get lots done. Don't want to push myself too hard, because I'm not all the way recovered yet, but doing some light exercise today to get myself back in the fitness game.

R101 - First Round for Me.
Goals in 2020: lower body fat %, gain strength, improve running times, focus on macros esp protein goals,hit goal weight.
56 year old, female, 5' 7"ft
Heaviest W: 160
Current W:. 148.9
Challenge GW: Lose 2 lbs as I get back into the swing of things after a long vacay.
Day/Weight/Comment:
1/08: 148.9 - first weigh in since 12/21. Better than I expected after eating and drinking whatever I wanted for 2 weeks. It was worth it but need to batten down the hatches for 2020. Did a circuit training class and went for a run and it felt good. I will be sore
1/09: 148.8 - Had my Body Fat % measured at the gym via a DXA scan. I now have some data to work with to get stronger and lose the fat. And I need to eat more protein.
1/10: 148.8 ( same ) Never understand how my scale measures the same weight. Don't know if I trust it tbh. Had a good run. But still enjoying the wine at night. That has to stop - empty calories
1/11: 149.8 (+1 lb ) Weighed after my protein drink and coffee so who knows. Heading to the gym for some weights and cardio.
1/12: 149.6 (-.2) Pre-run. Ran 6 miles today - felt ok. Ate a big breakfast so need to be watchful the rest of the day and get some veggies in me and lots of water. Hoping for a great week ahead of motivation
1/13: 149.8 (+.2) One word……Pancake! Going to focus on water and eating some extra veggies. I am sore today so the walk helped. Also need to get back into abstaining mode for a while re alcohol. Just a derailing habit for me.

01/12 159.4 This week is motivating, but I know it is also mostly water weight from cutting sodium back and logging again. I have this bad habit of eating when I am annoyed or upset with my spouse... Which is a lot recently. 😂
01/13 160 beginning my second week of logging again and stepping on the scale daily. Yesterday I ate well, but I could have skipped the bread and wine at dinner. I'm feeling emotionally much better today than I have in about six months. I know the impact food has on my mental health, but very hard to do anything about it sometimes. It is not yet 11a and I have almost hit my step goal for the day after a 70 minute hike.

Start Weight- 218.8lb
Current Weight- 217.2lb
End of Round 101 Goal- 213lb
Ultimate Goal- 173lb
I’ve started some good healthy habits in Round 100- looking forward to continuing these for the next 10 days. Didn’t lose the amount of weight I wanted to in the last round, but did weigh in at 216 a few days ago. Looking for a ‘mini whoosh’ this 10 days to get me losing some lb!!! Aim is to go to the gym 8 times in the 10 days, always stay under my calorie goal and eat my dinners a bit earlier (not currently eating until after 8pm).
Day/Weight/Comment
1/8 - 216.0 lb (-1.2lb) A great start to the 10 days. Came in just below the daily calories allowance. Missed the gym due to football coaching going on too long. Today I plan to do some cardio at the gym, stick to my calories and avoid any treats on the staff room table.
1/9 -216.6lb- not bothered about the slight weight gain, however; disappointed in myself that I missed a gym session (I could have found time) and are a couple of biscuits from the staff room. Other than that stuck to my calories/ more water needed today- this really is my Achilles heel! Early finish at work today so gym around lunchtime for a heavy leg session. First time at the pub for a month tonight since I became AF a month ago. Lime and soda all the way- never want to go back to what I was!!!
1/10 - 215.4lb (-1.2lb). A good loss yesterday after a few days of no movement. Went to the pub last night and drank AF Becks. Didn’t miss ‘normal’ beer in the slightest, even if the becks didn’t taste that amazing. Ate 200 cals over my allowance, but did gain back lots of exercise calories through the gym and a very active football session. Aim for today is to stay under the calorie goal, go to the gym and drink 2.5l of water.
1/11 - 215.8lb (+.4lb) Wasn’t really feeling it yesterday! Only packed a very small lunch which meant I consumed far too much food after work. Hummous and breadstick binge 🙄. Drank lots of water but didn’t make the gym due to my girlfriend not feeling great (She’s 38 weeks pregnant)
Back to the gym today, do some cardio, deadlifts and some isolation activities. Aim is to be in the 214s by Monday.
1/12 - 215.8lb . Another day of feeling quite groggy. No gym yesterday, must be in the ‘nesting phase’ as all I seem to want to do is clean. Made the most amazing beef and celeriac stew last night, limited my portion and only had a small amount of potato. I WILL go to the gym today- no excuses. Light day planned today.
1/13 - 215.8lb. Ate very healthily today and drank quite a bit of water. Back to work today which always presents its problems with regards to fluid intake. Can never seem to get enough in. Might need to re-assess my 10 day goal. I think, because I’ve got a lot of weight to lose (42 pound) that it would come off quickly. Need to be more realistic and happy to lose 1.5lb a week.

@quiltinjaine, Yes, a tennis ball works great! I have two sizes of massage balls, those with the pointy nubs. On initial use, THEY HURT!, but once the tenderness is worked out the pain goes away.
My workout is complete. 😀 I had to do 2 today to catch up.5 -

1/8 - 172.4 Big unhealthy breakfast this morning for co-worker. Will have to be very careful the rest of the day.
1/9 - 174.0 I knew that breakfast yesterday was going to get me. Trying to get back to it today. Going to try to drink lots of water to flush it on thru.
1/10 - 172.4 It worked. Got back to plan and the weight (water) dropped off. Facing the challenge of the weekend with determination.
1/11 - 172.8 Not good - not bad.
