Goal(s) for this round: Let's be honest. I'm just shooting for less than my SW this round (so under 219). I need some momentum and a realistic goal.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

There's no such thing as failure; only feedback.

So I am trying to get back on track. I reached my goal weight right before Christmas and then lost it. I am up about 6 pounds from where I want to maintain. So we will see what happens in this round. Have not really given it 100% or participated fully since round 97, yikes! This is my round to get my breakfast and lunches back on track and cut down on my alcohol.


01/08 - 144.3 Yikes! Breakfast and lunch were planned and I have not gone off track since Monday. Hoping to start losing anytime now. Have pretty much stayed right here the last couple of days. Ready for a water whoosh any day now!

01/09 - 143.1 I think my scale and body are confused on what I should weigh right now. I'm sure my body is freaking out that I ate a salad for lunch 2 days in a row, lol. I have been terrible the last couple of weeks and back on track only for the last couple of days. The first time it said 142.2, then 143.1, then 142.7, so I am going with the highest and hoping for another drop today. I would love for at least 4 pounds of this to be water weight. If I can get back into the 130's that would be amazing, but I am sure I have gained some actual weight the last month or so. I guess time will tell!

01/10 -143.0

01/11 - 139.8 Yes almost back to my pre-Christmas banaza!

01/12 - 139.8 I'll take it

01/13 - 140.7 Not bad for a Monday! Totally ok with this. We had fast food for dinner last night, but no alcohol all weekend. I am trying to finish out strong and get back down to 137 or 138. May take me another week or 2, but we will see. On track so far today and hoping to do the same tonight

5. Increase intake of H2O

Jan 08 - 125.4 lbs :: Ate healthy, ~100 cals more than limit :: AF :: 13K+ steps :: Homemade meals :: 3-4 glasses

Jan 09 - 125.4 lbs :: Ate healthy and in calorie limits :: AF :: 12K+ steps :: Homemade meals :: 9 glasses

Jan 10 - 125.4 lbs :: Ate healthy and in calorie limits :: AF :: 13K+ steps :: Homemade meals :: 9 glasses

Jan 11 - 125.4 lbs :: Ate healthy and in calorie limits :: AF :: 15K+ steps :: Homemade meals :: 10 glasses of H2O

Jan 12 - 123.8 lbs :: Ate 1000 calories more than calorie limits :: 3.25 units of wine :: 11K+ steps :: Ate lunch out and had dessert, snacked in brownies and peanuts and had wine :: 4-5 glasses of H2O

Jan 13 - 125.4 lbs :: Ate 80 calorie above limit :: AF :: 10K+ steps:: Ordered dinner out but preplannes andbportion controlled :: 5 glasses of H2O

****** Lessons-
1. If you are going to eat out, plan ahead on what to order.
2. Have a big snack before from home to control desires when eating out.
3. Dont even take a bite of dessert if you intend to avoid. Avoiding desssert after the first taste of sugar already is hard.
4. Limit alcohol further. 1 day a week is not sufficient. First taste of sugar rule applies here as well. Limiting after 1 becomes hard.

First time participating! Thank you all for the support, I need it!!

Goal is to lose 2-4 lbs by the end of 10 days.
Starting weight on 01/07: 190.2 (finishing my period so some of it should be water weight)

1/08: 190.2 Mostly stayed within my macros but ate 100 more than my cutting calories. Not feeling bad about it as I ate 32g more of protein and I had skipped dinner yesterday. Didn’t workout today as Wednesday’s are rest days for me.

1/09: 191.0 Weight was a bit up today but I’m not surprised because dinner was high in sodium. I was up by 5AM today and at the gym working bench/arms today. I had chocolate cake at work but stayed under calories today.

1/10: 188.0 down three pounds from yesterday for staying within my macros! I couldn’t go to the gym today but I’ll try to go tomorrow morning. Unfortunately went over my calories, about 300, for running errands on an empty stomach.

1/11: 189.4 worked out in the morning, legs/hamstrings/glutes day. Skipped breakfast, went to chili’s and made healthy choices and a dinner party. On days where I don’t have much control over foods, I choose to skip breakfast.

1/12: 187.6 woke up very dehydrated. Rest day. Meal peeped, cleaned, and rested. Down 3.4 lbs since my highest this week!

1/13: 189.8 ugh, lots of carbs and sodium yesterday as I recovered from a difficult weekend. Stayed under my calories and macros today and excited for the gym tomorrow morning.

Round 101 (23 for me)
Ready to jump in to the first full round of the year! My goal this round is to get started at my campus fitness center and up my exercise routine – a big deal for me since I’m basically an athletically challenged book nerd who’s never belonged to a gym before. So…I’m a little nervous. Maybe more than a little. But I’m inspired by so many of you here and I’m looking forward to trying something new.

R101 (23) – SW: 172.0 – EW: ???

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 – 172.0 – Cold and windy, but I took a short walk around campus after I toured the fitness center. We’re still on winter break, so it wasn’t too crowded or intimidating. I’ve got a physical with my new primary care physician tomorrow to get my medical okay and then I should be good to go. Made a delicious, healthy dinner tonight and met my calorie and logging goals. I’m a little surprised at how glad I am to get back to my MFP routine after the holidays.
01/09 – 171.2 – Nice little drop before my appointment today. (Weighed in at 173.0 with shoes and clothes on the doc’s scale.) Waiting on the results of my bloodwork, but my BP is back down to normal – woo hoo! Met up with my daughter for lunch, an indoor walk, and shopping for exercise clothes. Under on calories, but lots of salt, so I may see a bump up tomorrow. Not worried because I’m logging everything and staying on track. And feeling great!
01/10 – 172.2 – There’s that salt bump – happens every time I east out. Walked for over an hour and used some of my exercise calories to have another glass of wine and a piece of chocolate after dinner. Tried a new recipe – Michael Symon’s baked cod shakshuka. Delicious and pretty healthy, although fairly high in sodium. Eating out again tomorrow for my husband’s birthday, so I don’t expect to see a drop for a few days. But I’m going to eat sensibly and otherwise relax and enjoy the weekend.
01/11 – 172.6 – Still climbing, but I’m not going to stress over it. We had a multi-generational birthday celebration for my husband with a a couple of rounds of laser tag followed by a delicious dinner at a local Mexican eatery. We all had a blast! Now I’m totally wiped out!
01/12 – 173.2 – It is what it is. Taking down the tree today, but I’ll try to squeeze in a walk in this unseasonably warm weather. It’s such a gorgeous day that I don’t want to spend it all indoors. Dinner at m mom’s tonight, so I won’t be cooking again, but it’s back to the normal routine tomorrow. (Wrote yesterday’s post last night, but for some reason I couldn’t connect with the server, I gave up and went to bed.)
01/13 – 173.6 – Okay, enough of this. Time to turn this ship around. Walked for an hour in the cool and misty woods, working up a sweat on the hilly terrain. Stopped for an herbal iced tea at a nearby café and was sorely tempted by their luscious blueberry hand pies. But I resisted (and kept to my calorie limit) – guess that’s today’s NSV.

Day/Weight/Comment:

1/08: 132.0 - can't complain when it doesn't go up. Weight lifting yesterday and this morning plus 25 minutes treadmill/elliptical. An hour in the gym this morning and my apple watch says I burned 300 calories. Hard to stay under calories when I can eat that back in a nanosecond. But still feeling on top of this for now. Stopped at grocery store and bought lots of veggies for roasted veggies and garbanzo beans tonight. Have a fantastic healthy day, everyone!

1/09: 130.4 - Wow, that's pretty cool. I've changed my diet to maximize protein, which is really hard for me as a vegetarian. The last 2 nights, even though I wasn't hungry, I added an 80 calorie/15 gram protein plain greek yogurt at the end of the day (on top of adding as much protein as possible during the day) and maybe that has made a difference. And I started lifting heavily on Monday, lifted the last 3 days. Taking today off from lifting because my arm is sore and I'm trying to listen to my body. But might add some sort of activity.

1/10: 131.0 - no work out yesterday, was hard to stay within calories without those "extras" but I did it. Today, great workout (back and biceps) and 20 minutes elliptical. Taking a road trip tonight to look at some cheap cars and dinner will be on the road, must make good choices.

1/11: 130.0 - just hit my goal weight! Took a solid year to get here and it feels pretty amazing. Now to keep it here! I think 2 things really jump started the weight loss over the last month - eating more protein and lifting weights. Well, that and eating consistently at a deficit. Who knew ;-).

1/12: 129.0 - going to enjoy this downward trend for as long as it lasts. Great workout yesterday, ate under calories and got lots of protein. Btw, 125 is my ultimate happy, happy weight. 130 was a “let’s see how I feel when I get there” goal.

1/13: 129.2 - Had a great workout today but I overdid it and my tennis elbow is very sore. I was doing so well, thought it was getting the rest it needed but now I feel like the last 2 weeks off from pickleball was for nothing. Very frustrated with myself for not taking it slowly. I know better.

R100 1/7/20 end weight 217.2lb (-1.6lb)
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.
1/14 - 215.2 (-0.6lb) Drank a bit more water than usual, although still need to drink more. Under my calorie goal, and ate a very healthy dinner. Food is all logged in advance for today- just got to stick to it.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 1010 (round 33 for me ) I'm in for another round – moving on!

Female age 61 5' 4”

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
This round goal to get into 132s - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink and keep walking.
