Day/Weight/Comment
01/08: 205.6 Yes! Down a full pound already! I had a great day, I am proud to admit out loud! Not only because I stayed under my calorie deficit, but because I actually had to eat more to make sure I came close to hitting the needed calories (good calorie choices, too). I am eager to continue good habits today.
01/09: 204.0 Increased my water intake during my period and watched my sodium intake; two problems I have struggled with in my weight loss efforts. I was always afraid I’d drank too much water, but it looks like I have been dehydrated during my period, as my doctor suggested.
01/10: 204.0 Holding steady.
01/11: 203.8 Not too happy with the way I snacked between meals yesterday.
01/12: 204.0 It snowed, so I neglected my walking routine. Looks like I will just have to brave the cold!
01/13: 202.8 Resumed my walking routine and finally cut back on the sugar.
01/14: 203.8 Ate out as an experiment to see what would happen, after a week of not eating out. Now I know!
01/15: 202.4 Glad to see that passed quickly! It has been nice to be able to track what I eat. I used to believe calorie counting would be a hassle, but it has made me more mindful of my eating choices.
01/16: 203.4 Disappointed with the scale this morning, but I have learned from reading others’ posts that this sort of change is not unusual. Plus, I am starting to have more energy from my new walking routine, so that is positive! Is a new ten day challenge posted every ten days, or this a special type of post? It has been great to have the accountability of posting everyday!
01/17: 203.0 Yeah! That is a good way to end my first round! I have lost 3.6 lbs this round, which keeps me on track for my weight loss goal.11 -

Day/Weight/Comment
1/08 166.8lbs, 36.2%bf; 7h51m/84 - decent sleep but want more! Big day today, so we'll see how it goes.
1/09 166.6lbs, 36.2%bf; 4h30m/59 - ugh... long day ahead, on so little sleep. Still, worth it... yesterday was amazing!
1/10 166.6lbs, 36.2%bf; 8h2m/88 - better but need so much more sleep.
1/11 166.4lbs, 36.1%bf; 7h34m/86 - this cold has moved into my chest and won't let go. Hard to sleep well.
1/12 166.4lbs, 36.1%bf; 6h42m/69 - not great sleep, feeling pretty run down.
1/13 165.4lbs, 35.8%bf; 6h25m/77 - starting to feel better.
1/14 166.2lbs, 36.0%bf; 7h47m/87 - Sunday's dip was probably water related. No chance at goal this round but feeling better and down overall. That's a win.
1/15 165.8lbs, 35.9%bf; 7h8m/80 - decent sleep, slowing getting this congestion under control. Plus, HUMP DAY! 🐪
1/16 165.8lbs, 35.9%bf; 5h53m/71 - continue to improve, but woke up too early. I'll be paying for that today.
1/17 164.6lbs, 35.6%bf; 6h46m/77 - did not expect this drop! Went out last night to a comedy show at a brewery, so enjoyed a flight and some bbq pork nachos.... so really didn't expect this. I will call it a refeed day and a HUGE win!

Round 101, 18th Round for Me
Starting Weight: 285.0 lbs
Goal Weight: 283.0 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
01/08: 284.6 lbs (-0.4) … down a little. Staying within budget (or very close, and still within budget when considering exercise) for the past several days. Hopefully I’ll see a bigger drop in the near future. I was too tired to go to the gym this morning before work, but I went yesterday so today would have just been a “bonus” day.
01/09: 286.8 lbs (+2.2) … late dinner the night before and was a bit more snacky than I should have been in the evening. Got in a strength training session after work. I had thought to do some cardio afterward, but my legs were too tired (right calf muscle was spasming when I tried running).
01/10: 284.9 lbs (-1.9) … partial recovery from yesterday’s uptick. Was exhausted this morning and skipped a planned trip to the gym this morning to run. Hopefully I can find the motivation to do it this evening instead (nope, didn’t happen).
01/11: 285.1 lbs (+0.2) … up a tiny bit, but that’s fine. I’ve had a good day today so far, getting in both a strength session and a cardio session at the gym. With only 750 calories in at 3pm and feeling full still, this should be a lighter day calorie-wise.
01/12: 285.9 lbs (+0.8)
01/13: DNW. Got in a strength training session at the gym.
01/14: 286.9 lbs (+1.0) … ate fairly light yesterday, so hopefully I’ll see a drop again tomorrow. I was sore as heck yesterday from the gym on Saturday so maybe it’s water retention. Feeling much better today thankfully.
01/15: 287.2 lbs (+0.3) … sigh. Too snacky / hungry again yesterday. I’m likely up because I ate right before bed (which I need to stop), but I still ate around or under maintenance.
01/16: 284.7 lbs (-2.5) … sigh. This time, it’s a sigh of relief, ha.
01/17: 283.2 lbs (-1.5) … I’m very happy this morning. I’ve had my eating fully in control for the past two days and I’m seeing results. Nearly made my round goal even after struggling for most of the round. Very close to my previous low weight (all the way back in November) of 282.7 lbs. Hoping to surpass it next round!

Back to life! Back to reality!
Last yearMy goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
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!

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 SW 388.5 EW 388.2 (went the wrong way for several days, but found some keys and fixed it.)
Day/Weight/Comment
01/07 - 388.2 - Got an email from FitBit congratulating me on 15 lb. weight loss. Too cold and windy to walk this morning, so I'll get to the gym this afternoon for a walk inside. If I track my steps w/ Fitbit and calories w/ MFP, I seem to do better.
01/08 - 388.1 - Had to take a late evening walk last night. Cold and windy is no fun. But this morning, my knee isn't tender. So, medium length walks (1.5 - 2 miles) in the morning and evening seem to be the way to go. After last night's walk, I wasn't too hungry, but I was in a 1K+ caloric deficit for the day. Prolly ate too much, but as long as I keep going down, I'm happy. Over 9300 steps today.
01/09 - 387.9 - Skipping the early morning walk since we'll be doing so much running around. I will do DDPYoga and take an evening walk to complete the physical work today. Weight down .2 lbs. I'll be very happy with that every day.
01/10 -387.9 - Skipping the early morning walk since we'll be doing so much running around. I will do DDPYoga and take an evening walk to complete the physical work today. Weight down .2 lbs. I'll be very happy with that every day.
01/11 - 388.6 - The *running around* might have met my step requirement, but doesn't seem to have helped with weight loss. I think I need to stick to actual walking. And just meeting my StepBet challenge of 7200 steps isn't enough. I'm going to try to increase to 9k steps, knees willing. I'm also thinking of walking/hiking poles to take some stress off my knees while walking. We'll see.
01/12 - 387.4 - Right direction, just slower than I would like. Almost 12K steps yesterday.
01/13 - 386.4 - There we go. MFP and walking seem to be the trick. Now I'll add weights and yoga.
01/14 - 387.9 - Didn't do my steps yesterday. It's taking a bit for my body to adjust to moving. Just achy and my knee was a bit too sore.
01/15 - missed a day, not sure how...
01/16 -386.9 - Mild meniscus tear has me off my feet. I hate being immobile. But I should be good by Sunday if I walk on a flat track. Proverbial, two steps forward and one back.
01/17 - 388.0 - Walking with a cane and getting almost no workout. But better to rest and take a few off than push it and doing more long-term damage to the knee. I may use the gym since I don't feel the pain when using certain machines.10 -

Round 101, 18th Round for Me
Starting Weight: 285.0 lbs
Goal Weight: 283.0 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
01/17: 283.2 lbs (-1.5) …I’m very happy this morning. I’ve had my eating fully in control for the past two days and I’m seeing results. Nearly made my round goal even after struggling for most of the round. Very close to my previous low weight (all the way back in November) of 282.7 lbs. Hoping to surpass it next round!
@merph518 What a GREAT way to start Round 102!! I know how hard it is when you've gotten off track a little and how hard it is to get 'it' back, and 2 days in control means so much! Wishing great results for us all in Round 102!!6 -
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.
1/14: 149.8 – (same) I think its weird that I can weigh in the same day after day. What are the chances? Keep thinking that my scale is not right but then I added an 8 pound dumbbell and low and behold, my scale said 157.8 so it appears to be accurate. I will just go with it. Numbers are funny that way. Another day another chance to move and feed my body in a healthy way.
1/15: 147.6 (-2.2) Ate pretty well yesterday and left quite a bit in the bank. Drank lots of water. Met with trainer to go over strength circuit to kick some of my own butt. Dunno tbh. Just gotta keep on keepin on…..logging, moving, eating well, no alcohol. My 15 year old pup is killing my sleep vibes. She is slowly losing it...vision, hearing, acting really strange and last night, was panting and anxious all night long. Pain maybe? doggy dementia? Aging sucks whether your human or dog.
1/16:148.2 (+.4) Had an extra round of snacks yesterday at Mah Jongg….so not surprised. But said no the offered glass of wine so that’s a win. Had a good run albeit slow – it was hot and humid! Today’s challenge-staying up until 12:30 am to pick up darling daughter from the airport. That will set me back but hitting the gym later today for second day of strength circuit.
1/17: 148.2 (0) (_.7lbs for this round.) Not unhappy as I started late and had Vacation Drop for the first 4 days. Slowly returning to normalcy. Looking forward to a full round 102 and a regular workout routine. Really working on macros and understanding how hitting protein goals meshes with overall calorie goals. Still learning. Happy Friyay to all yall! 😎

Original start weight: 178 lbs
Round 100 End/Round 101 start weight: 164.0 lbs
Goal this round: 163.0 lbs
Ultimate goal 135 lbs.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 163.0 This is the lowest I have been in over 5 years. Up until I hit my 40's I could eat anything I wanted, looking forward to weighing what I did when I was younger.
01/09 164.0 lbs. New it was to good to be true. LOL, Met all my goals so expect this to go back down.
01/10 164.4 lbs I usually allow myself 1200 to 1500 calorie window but have been noticing that I am not loosing if I go over 1200. I might have to reset my calorie goals. I have been walking 2 to 3 miles each day in the house, below zero and crazy wind outside and doing a 20 to 30 minute workout. Someone just introduced me to Fiton workouts and love all the choices. No worries I will get this figured out. I want back in the 163"s.
01/11 163.6 lbs under 1200 in calories, walked 2 miles in the house, FitOn workout plus 2020 challenge.
01/12 164.6 We went out with friends to watch the Bison and Viking game and I was way over calories but had a great time.
01/13 165 lbs . Bummer, but I had cabin fever bad. The weather here is not cooperating, icy snow, so no sking or walking and below zero wind chills in the -30's makes it impossible to do anything outside. No gym near and I get bored and snack. Oh well this is a new week.
01/14 164.4 lbs Another week of below 40 windchills is ahead so walked 2 miles, did a cardio workout, and booty workout all in the house. Under 1000 calories. At least I lost weight and not my mind. LOL
01/15 164.0 lbs. I worked so hard and then son wanted me to make cupcakes, stayed under 1200 calories though and so happy I didn't gain.
01/16 163.8 lbs
01/17 163.6 lbs.
Overall loss this round -.4lbs.9 -
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.

10-day Goal: 180
Date/Weight/Comment
1/8 182 / walked 30 min, incline treadmill 30 min, leg weight machines, swim 30 min. I am surprised how my weight varies.
1/9 187 walked 30 min, elliptical 30 min, weights-arms & core 30 min.
1/10 186 no exercise- just a bum day
1/11 185 walked 30 min, incline treadmill 30 min, weights- legs 30 min.
1/12 185- no exercise
1/13 185- Monday morning back in the swing of things- active day but no gym
1/14 184- Back to my starting weight of 184 - I want to either hold it or hit 183.
1/15 185- Good workout today.
1/16 184- I am super happy to be back at 184. I logged all food and exercise in MFP. I overate on many days, so I am beginning to see why I am not losing weight. I will be stricter, as far as sugar goes. My weakness is the dates my spouse keeps on the counter. I need a counter habit for every time I want to eat a date. I don't take one (or more) when I am hungry, I take one to reward myself. I think I will buy some type of low-calorie sweetened snack to keep on the counter next to the grapes. I'll see what type of over-processed, over priced snacks are available. I also see other members are losing weight by eating very low calories, like 1000/day. I'll do some calculations on my net calories so I will know exactly what energy input/output needs my body has. Food today is normal 300 cal breakfast of coffee and fruit, soup for lunch. The next time I make soup and freeze individual portions I will do a better job of measuring the macros. I'm going for 80 g of protein, fat and carb per day, 1360 calories. This is less than the MFP number of 1430.
1/17 184 - I'm at the same weight but i learned a lot. I learned I want a new scale and I ordered one. I logged all exercise and food, so now I now exactly what it takes for me to stay the same. I had a "no eating plan" day and went way over my net calories, even though it was health food, I gained five. I love this challenge and I love reading others progress. I am happy I made a new friend.

Day/Weight/Comment
1/8 - 176.2
So far, so good with first 2 days of IF. I’m already finding my “no snacks after dinner” policy easier to stick to than low calorie snacks, which always seem to lead to more. So yay!
1/9 - 176.8
Calories and not snacking were on target, but I had lunch out and it was salty — I could taste/feel it. I drank lots of water and will today, so I expect to flush the salt.
1/10 - 176.8
No weight drop, but I feel less bloated. I’m mostly snack free — yay! — but did have a piece of toast last night as my stomach was upset. That did the trick. Feeling energized today.
1/11 - 177
I have no clue how this makes any sense — calories fine the past few days, macros in line. Weird. But ok, I’ll just keep on keep in’ on and see what happens. Have a lovely weekend, all! If you’re in the path of the storms, be safe.
1/12 - 176
That’s better, if not great. I did have a piece of chocolate cake yesterday, so calories up a tad. But not too awful. Enjoy your Sunday, all!
1/13 - 176
1/14 - 177
I didn’t think my sodium was high yesterday but I feel bloated and the scale confirms, so I guess something was salty. Lots of wawa today!
1/15 - 177
I couldn’t seem to stop eating yesterday. What’s up with that? I’ve never been a binge eater, but jeez, I was embarrassed for myself and was home alone! I’m surprised my weight wasn’t up this morning. I’m going to try to get a grip today. I wish I knew why I’m overeating the past few months after losing weight and maintaining for so long.
1/16 - 177.6
There’s the gain from Tuesday’s binge. Not what I’d planned for this round. Sigh. Oh, well, onward. I stuck to the plan yesterday, and have today planned out foodwise. I’d like to lose even .2 by tomorrow/end of round!
1/17 - 177.6
Darn. Well, at least I’m not up. Next round will be better!

Round 101 – Round 1 for me
I participated in this challenge a while back, worked well for me! I’ve been in maintenance for about a year now, but recently noticed some weight creeping back on, so I’m looking to lose a few pounds and get back to that comfort zone.
Original starting weight: 155lb
Current weight: 127.8lb
Ultimate goal weight: 124lb (maintenance is 123-126)
Goal weight for this round: 125.8lb
1/8 127.8 First time on the scale since mid-November, wasn’t as bad as I thought. But definitely higher than I was back then. It’s ok though, I know how to lose it, I just have to do it. Yesterday was a good day, a little high on the sodium and TOM, so some may drop off quickly after a few days. Hoping to stick to my goals each day, but also allow myself to enjoy time out with my family & friends.
1/9 126.6 That was a welcome surprise – though with it being TOM I kind of figured it would happen. I’m going to tweak my goal for this round since I’m so close to the original one I posted (126.4) Good day yesterday, got my lunch work out in and stayed right under my calorie goal.
1/10 126.8 A little disappointed with this, good day yesterday and was expecting a loss. Have some plans this weekend that’ll definitely bump up the scale come Monday.
1/11 126.2 Looking good…
1/12 128.8 Not looking so good. I knew it was coming, was under my calories but had a sodium bomb restaurant meal.
1/13 128.8 Ugh cmon. I think no change annoys me even more than a gain! Gonna take a lot of work to hit that goal I set – I don’t think it’s gonna happen this round. Though I know the gain is “fake” and maybe I’ll get a nice woosh towards the end of the week, fingers crossed!
1/14 127.4 Alright alright.. coming back down. I hate that I feel regret for having that restaurant meal and making me start all over. I had a nice time out with my daughter and best friend, but such a hard pill to swallow seeing that scale go up. No big plans in the foreseeable future, so I should say on track!
1/15 126.6 Keep it going.. so close to my 10-day goal, I may just squeak it in! Had a good day yesterday, and plan for another good one today. My husband is making homemade Alfredo tonight, it’s SO good but also very high calorie (and hard to accurately know the calorie count in the sauce). I got to the gym at 6am today and plan to work out on my lunch break as well. Hopefully that’ll allow for the delicious Alfredo and not kill my weigh-in tomorrow.
1/16 126.4 Tiny loss, but a loss nonetheless! Glad to not see a gain after Alfredo last night, I stayed under my goal, but the sodium worried me! I’m so close to my goal, hoping I can see a .6 loss tomorrow to reach my goal! Whether I do or not, this was a good round for me after not really focusing Nov-Dec.
1/17 127.0 Pretty disappointed in my final weigh-in. BUT I know I did everything right yesterday, so this is just a natural body fluctuation, I didn’t gain. Wish I could have hit that goal number, but it is what it is. Hopefully I can maintain this weekend and then get back at losing on Monday! A NSV I had this week was getting a work out in every day, Sun-Fri! Whether it was a video at home, the gym before work or during my lunch break, I did something each day!12 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/08 – 124.2 – Been doing good with the calories and better with the water. Haven’t had a chance to do any walking/jogging since Saturday-things have been crazy at work and I really don’t want to go by myself after dark.
01/09 – 123.2
01/10 – 123.2
01/11 – 122.2 - !!!
01/12 – 122.6
01/13 – 123.0 – I was good until around dinner time, then I just kept wanting to snack. I still wasn’t too bad and I am still happy with where I am. I am ok with gaining and bouncing around since I am in maintenance, but it has definitely been an adjustment from always wanting to see a lower number.
01/14 – 123.4 – I was craving potato wedges yesterday and gave in, got it out of my system and still didn’t do too bad.
01/15 – 123.2 – I have been craving peanut butter lately, eating a small spoon for my “bedtime snack”
01/16 – 122.2
01/17 – 122.2 – Ended on a low note, 2.6 lbs down this round! 125 was my original goal weight, but I am really liking the 122ish that I have been hanging around.

10 Day Challenge 101
2020 Starting Weight: 209.5
Current Weight: 207.8
Current Goal: 198
UGW: 148
10-day Goal: 205 (hoping there’s still some water weight to shed)
Round 101 End Weight: 207.2 (-1.2)
Date/Weight/Comment
1/8: 208.4 — surprised as I’ve been tracking well, in decent calorie deficit for a week with no big sodium intake or anything. But the point of a 10 day challenge is to track and find patterns to adjust, right? So I’ll keep tracking to find the pattern...
1/9: 207.6 — there it is! Kept to my plan, and now seeing what I expect.
1/10: 208.0 — and there it goes (again)! In deficit (a lot), good workout, no major sodium, but ate dinner very late and woke feeling bloated. New scale, too, maybe this is just reflective of its precision. Will keep to plan and cross fingers a big drop will come before the end!
1/11: 207.2 —ok, whew! Up 0.4/0.6, down 0.8, I can live with that on a daily basis. I’m going to keep keeping on, no adjustments yet. Keep tracking my pattern
1/12: 207.0—ok, good direction. Still feels slow but am in this for the long haul.
1/13 DNW
1/14 DNW
1/15 DNW
1/16 207.4—frustrating!
1/17: 207.2—Total loss of 1.2. For me, in the first 10 days of a “diet” this is shocking poor results and feels like maintnenance. But reality is this is a 0.5lb/week glide path, and even if it never gets better, that’s 26 pounds lighter by the end of the year. If I never see those 26 pounds again I can only be happy, not grumpy the weight didn’t come off faster.
So...looking forward to Round 102 and seeing where this trend goes! Thanks again for this challenge!12 -

1/8 158.6 0 miles Where did that come from? I am only happy about it. I went to my bioDad's 83rd birthday dinner last night. He likes this very country-style restaurant. Deep-fried everything and VERY talented in-house bakers. They now have three salads, two of which have fried chicken strips, but hey they're trying. My only real indulgence was a fresh hot dinner roll right out of the oven. I don't like bread, so it is easy for me to avoid EXCEPT freshly baked rolls.
1/9 159.9 8 miles I assume I'm retaining water due to muscle strain. I walked 8 miles yesterday, the longest distance of my life. Long story short, I took yesterday afternoon off specifically to go for a long walk. I met a girlfriend and the planned walk was 5.4 miles. Over a half-mile in she remembers she didn't lock her car, so we had to walk back (extra mile #1). The extra mile and a half were because we were feeling adventurous and not feeling our 50 years of age. It took over 3 hours that was up and down hills, crossed the creek twice, took a wrong turn and had to climb a fence, it was a great time! Around mile 7 though my feet and toes started hurting. I have a huge blister and am my legs are sore this morning. The app said I had burned over 2,000 calories (which I don't believe) so I went out to dinner thinking I can have whatever I want... I had a salad and 4 mushroom appetizers. I was too full to eat my entree... MFP said I had 2020 remaining calories yesterday. HAHAHA
1/10 158.8 0 miles As I go back down the roller coaster. I was starving all day yesterday, so I ended up going over on calories. I assume it was the walk from the day before but TOM is coming soon so either way. I had to wrap my toe yesterday and again today because the blister made it difficult to walk. I'm taking today off from exercise because I haven't been sleeping. I probably got 3 hours last night, I'm a little zombie-like today. I can fall asleep but I can't stay asleep, or fall back to sleep. It's been like this for days. Anyway, happy Friday everyone. I hope the snow we're supposed to get this weekend isn't too bad. I was supposed to take baby girl tomorrow but I don't know if her parents are going to give her up. It might end up being for the weekend depending on the snow. That being said I did pick up enough baby snacks and diapers... Just saying.
1/11 159.2 0 miles. The bad weather started last night, no walking today either.
1/12 159.6 0 miles No walking today but I did a major house clean up and rearranging yesterday. We were snowed in for the entire day.
1/13 159.9 0 miles TOM is almost here, so I have a slight bump. Should be gone after I start. I'm walking tonight. The snow is still everywhere but I know a trail that gets cleared off like a road, and I brought waterproof shoes. Four days straight without walking is making me jumpy. I should have gone yesterday but I messed up the timing and then the Chiefs had to have a spectacular game that I had to watch in person and not just listen to on the radio.
1/14 160.1 0 miles My meeting with my boss didn't end until almost 5:00 too dark to walk. Yes, I could have gone to the gym but I was not feeling it last night. I had other errands to run and still had to make dinner. Normally I would have eaten out last night since I didn't get done with errands until 7:30 and I didn't want to start cooking that late but I am in my own way trying to eat out less. I made mushroom soup (from scratch no sodium heavy canned stuff for me) with broth I had in the freezer. Cheap and nutritious, not too bad on calories since I use 2% milk. I have to do some exercise tonight, I feel like such a slacker.
1/15 160.5 3 miles I got my walk in finally. I really thought I would drop but I also thought TOM would have started yesterday so that's probably related. I was fine on calories which is frustrating, even understanding the underlying cause isn't much consolation. Weight loss is not linear... repeat until it actually penetrates my brain.
1/16 161.1 3.5 miles Chilly but nice walk yesterday, I would have gone 4 but it was cold. Stayed within calories with no big sodium bombs and the weight/water won't drop. TOM hasn't arrived either which is probably related. Oh well. On the bright side - avocado toast for breakfast
Still finding solace in food apparently but making healthier choices.
1/17 161.7 2 miles Even colder last night. I wimped out and turned around after only a mile. It was a wardrobe mistake - I should have had another layer on top and warmer socks. TOM did finally come but a bit of a sodium bomb yesterday.12 -
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.
1/11-171-I went skiing with my 21 yo son and 81 yo uncle and we had a wonderful time. Son broke his collar bone and sees a surgeon Monday; I’ll give you an update. Have a great weekend everyone!!!!🌸☕️
1/12-168-I had skied a lot and figured I lost a pound. Yesterday I still was carrying some salt...glad to be back in the 160’s.
1/13-167-I did not feel hungry at all yesterday, I’m glad for the downward trend.
1/16-167-Gone for a few days packing up the house and at a quilting class. Hoping to stay in the 160’s.
1/17-166-I have not been eating much. My son has seen 2 different dr.’s and even though his collar bone is 100% broken, they say to just let it heal, because he has such good movement. So, no surgery, which is nice. Great memories from the ski trip.12 -
@AR10at50 - Glad to hear your son won't need surgery! Hope the healing goes smoothly and swiftly.9

▪1/11 - 186 - IF/22.5hrs. 21g carbs. Really good workout on Thursday and felt great afterwards. BUT! (why must there be a but😞) some part of my exercise, together with my subpar mattress, smh, caused a sciatica flare up from piriformis that dominoed into low back pain, tight IT Band and inflamed hip flexor. Did not sleep comfortably, miserable all day yesterday and definitely no workout. I had planned a nice glute strength routine with lateral cardio exercises. Postponed to Saturday evening.
Wore my trochanter belt all day for back & hip flexor. The pressure from it had me in pain all day, worse without it. Just bought a new groin and hip brace yesterday. It should be delivered today. I hope it helps me.
▪1/12 - 187.4 - IF/21.5hrs. 29g carbs. A little bit of inflammation this morning from doing a few exercises from my workout just before bed. I felt MUCH better yesterday, no pain, but a lot of tightness in hip and hamstrings. Stretched throughout the day. Full workout today.
▪1/13 - 185 - IF/22.5hrs. 23g carbs. Carbs are still higher than 20 grams and would have been very low if I hadn't eaten pistachios, dark chocolate and a teaspoon of fig/walnut jam. My workout seems to have become like a dream deferred. Smh. I was so tired yesterday. Nodded off sitting in the chair after eating. Then went to bed early. Still have some tension and tightness in hip, back and hamstrings. I'll give it another try today.
▪ 1/14 - 185.4 - IF/21.5 hrs. 29g carbs. My goodness the month is half over! Finally got that glute workout done + some arm exercises. I was tired of moving it forward in my diary. On to other body parts. Salted mixed nuts(4.5gC) and dark chocolate(9gC) drove up the carb grams.
•I've been thinking about giving up stevia for February. I only use it in coffee, but my portions have gotten larger. 29 days. I can do it.

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.

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.
01/14 – 172.8 – That’s a little better. Another day of sticking to my calorie limit and staying hydrated. Rainy day and I had a lab test, so I made this my rest day. Got my doc’s sign-off for the gym with no restrictions, so I’m almost there.
01/15 – 172.8 – Last day of nice weather before it gets cold again, so I walked for an hour at the beach after class. I love the colors of the ocean in that last hour of sunlight! Lunch out tomorrow, so I ate carefully today.
01/16 – 172.2 – Nice to see another drop, but I totally blew my calorie budget on a wonderful lunch out with my sister and our daughters. My sis had chosen a lovely restaurant with a classic French bistro menu. I skipped the wine but couldn’t resist the croque monsieur. Totally worth it, even if I’m working off the sodium for a couple of days. I hadn’t planned on ordering dessert, but it didn’t take much arm twisting to get me to split a chocolate and salted caramel tart with my sister. No regrets, but it’s a good thing the restaurant is an hour away.
01/17 – 172.6 – Ending this round with a gain. Not unexpected, so I’ll take it in stride and move on to the next round. Hope to see you all there!

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.
01/14 …..192.0 ….. After s.l.o.w.l.y easing back into lower carb I finally see a drop on the scale. Last night I began to feel a bit of a sugar drop, I pounded the water and ate an atkins indulgence bar and it passed. Thank Goodness! I just wasn’t in the mood to feel so sick again! Yesterday’s stats: 1194 Calories In / 2782 Calories Out. 16 Net Carbs. 20,367 Total Steps & 8.62 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 3 minutes. My son started back on his diet plan yesterday. It is completely different than mine due to his food issues related to sensory & autism. However, I have been cooking two different meals for each meal all along so it will not be an issue. I hope he doesn’t easily give up!
01/15 …..189.7 ….. Another drop which put me (finally) below starting weight this round. Yesterday was the first good day without a drop in my glucose levels. However, while walking at the school I became very VERY hungry with such loud stomach growls I was sure everyone could hear reverberating through the hallways! While I would love to walk in a fasted state, I know better because of my T2D, so I had a small meal before I left and still the hunger which is not typical. My body is fighting me as I get back into the lifestyle of low carb. Yesterday I won. I am happy to say that my home is back to being a “safety zone” with all good & healthy foods. My splurges will always be when traveling but one day does not affect me so permanently like the 5 week period between Thanksgiving and Christmas does because that time often contains more bad days than good. Yesterday’s stats: 1253 Calories In / 3467 Calories Out. 29 Net Carbs. 22,578 Total Steps & 10.69 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 23 minutes. I walked in my neighborhood for 60 minutes at 3.5 mph burning 370 cals, I walked at the school for 130 minutes at 3.0 burning 712 cals and I danced for 14 minutes burning 112 cals. Sample song – “Hold on we’re going home” by Drake.. Total extra calorie burn 1194.
01/16 …..189.7 ….. After two days of large drops, the scale has stabilized. Yesterday was a good day. I talked my 11 yr old DGS into staying after school and meeting me to walk the school hallways. I’m almost 60 and he couldn’t keep up! He walked two and ½ miles and I continued while he did his homework on a hallway desk. I did shorten my walk a bit for him, and slowed it down a bit but all was good. Yesterday’s stats: 1654 Calories In (a bit over)/2566 calories out. 58 Net Carbs (a bit over thanks to spaghetti squash casserole – got to say no to second portions!). 16,072 Total Steps & 6.8 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 52 minutes and needed every second of it! I walked for 96 minutes at the school at about 3.0 mph burning 500 calories and I did low-impact aerobics at home office until I was interrupted by business for 11 minutes burning another 58 calories. Total extra calorie burn 558.
01/17 …..189.9 ….. A normal fluctuation. Meal plans on point but no measurable exercise due to workload. I did manage to get in my 10,000 steps in small increments. BTW my son is doing FANTASTIC on his eating plan. He only wishes to weigh in once per week so Monday is his weigh in day. I’ll keep y’all posted. Yesterday’s stats: 1234 Calories In / 2266 Calories Out. 33 Net carbs of friendly veggies. 10,224 Total Steps & 4.33 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours 12 minutes & needed more. I’m ending at a 0.7 lb loss which is below goal but moving in the right direction. This has been a tough round for me due to medical issues and adjustments but everything is improving so I expect that next round will be even better. Nice job to everyone! I’ve seen so much progress & am proud of you all!

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.
1/12 - 175.4 Bad! Bad!
1/13 - 175.0 Thank goodness the weekend is over.
1/14 - 174.4 I'm going to have to work real hard to show a loss for this round but I know I can do it.
1/15 - 173.6 Weekend weight almost gone. Glad this round ends before the next weekend but each weekend is a challenge to do better.
1/16 - 172.4 Very light dinner and no snacking after.
1/17 - 172.8 Still managed a tiny loss for the round.11 -

Round 101 EW 158.8 (-4.2)
01/08 163
01/09 161.4
01/10 160.4
01/11 160
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.
01/14 159 ate very well and very clean yesterday. Planning on replicating today. Heading out for another hike.
01/15 158.6 yesterday was another great day, with the small exception of two glasses if wine in the evening while I was cooking and eating.
01/16 160 I stayed within my calories, but I ate back my exercise calories, which I don't usually do. And, dinner was pretty sodium heavy. I'm hoping if I can eat clean today and turn down offers of wine from the husband tonight at dinner, I'll bump back down to 159. I'll start round 102 overseas on a trip visiting my sister in Ankara, turkey. Need to figure out how to long all sorts of foods I don't usually eat.
01/17 158.8 Yesterday was a very good day. No alcohol. No unintentional foods. Got tons of steps in. A jiu-jitsu workout. Did not get a lot of sleep last night, so need to be careful. I don't make good choices when I'm tired...12 -

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
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.
01/10 120.0
01/11 121.5 Greek salad, 1/2 pita, small piece of birthday cake - it was our neighbor’s 80th! Cake was bleech. Why do I do this????
01/12 120.5
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!
01/14 121.0 My BP was excellent. Met my friend at the gym when she got off work yesterday.
01/15 121.5 Went to Buffet@Asia yesterday. Lots of carbs. Today is my art quilt meeting, we’re meeting friends for a movie this afternoon, and community bingo/dinner tonight.
01/16 121.0 22 hour fast yesterday broken after the movie broken by bacon and crisp chicken skin. I took a salad with chicken and blue cheese to bingo because they were having spaghetti.
01/17 120.5 Wow! I can’t believe this round is over. That went fast!8 -
