Day/Weight/Comment:

01/18: 130.0 - smack dab on my original goal weight this morning. I’ve decided to eat at or below maintenance for a couple weeks, continue to work on strength training and then possibly losing another 5 lbs. Had a fantastic first day back to the gym yesterday, an hour total including 20 minutes elliptical.

01/19: 130.0 - this maintenance thing is interesting. I feel like I've been eating so much more and yet, the scale stays the same, it's hard to wrap my head around. Thinking of still eating below maintenance every few days until I trust this weight.

01/20: 130.0 - still here. Ate below calories yesterday but did not work out at all, just did my elbow physical therapy. Heading to the gym this morning, can not wait.

01/21: 130.8 - ate well all weekend, looking forward to being able to exercise more often. I did do my elbow P/T at least once every day. I know it takes time but, ugh, I’m impatient.

01/22: 129.8 - I swam laps yesterday for about half an hour (with breaks) and wow, what a great workout. Bonus, my elbow was able to take it. Went to the gym this morning and had a fantastic legs/abs workout with 30 minutes elliptical. I would do that every day if I could but that's how I get injured. Another bonus, the first set of deadlifts were noticeably easier than they had been. Still haven't missed a day of P/T yet, not that I see any difference but I'll keep with it.

Round 102 - Jan.18 to Jan.27
Female, 5’, 66 years. SW – 165.2, GW – 163 something, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.) The 12 hr. IF along with everything else (portion control, watching calories in foods, exercise) seems to be working well for me. So this round I hope to be more consistent with logging food and exercise and see how far I can get.
Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 – 165.2 – Up a little from yesterday. Did almost a regular workout at the gym yesterday, so maybe some water retention. Close on calories and did IF.
01/19
01/20 - 165
01/21 – 165 – Busy last 2 days so didn’t get on here but did weigh. Good workout at the gym yesterday but didn’t manage IF. Always have to run off to practice on Mondays which typically goes till 10 or so, then when I get home, I just want to unwind and eat something. Last night it was 1/3 – ½ cup of homemade granola (nutritious but not low cal.) I need a plan to deal with this … it’s the same story every week so now it’s a habit.
01/22 – 164 – Nice to see this. A little exercise shoveling and kept to IF

1/18 - 188.4! So happy to be at the same weight as yesterday, I had a fairly indulgent dinner and was expecting to see an increase today. Most days, I would use that as an excuse to continue being indulgent, but today, I'm going to take it as just a spot of good luck but get back to sticking to my diet and aiming for my goals! Normally don't like working on the weekend, but I have some big deadlines so I'm going to try and get some work done today - hoping for good productivity.
1/19 - 188.8... not psyched about the up but we ended up going out for dinner so hopefully this is mostly salt weight. Got some work done, not as much as I'd like but at least I'm putting in an effort. Hoping that tomorrow is a better day for both my diet and my productivity. Today hasn't been fantastic for either
1/20 - 189.4... creeping back up. Seems like I just oscillate back and forth between 191&188, I really want to break through that wall.
1/21 - 190.4... Continues to creep. Ate well today and got a lot of work done so hopefully I see some progress tomorrow.
1/22 - 190.2.. a little progress, but still I would like to be lower. Trying on wedding dresses tomorrow, was hoping to be like 10 lbs lighter by now but oh well, I'm still proud of my overall progress. Sticking to my diet and working hard today, hoping to keep making progress.

@PrimalJillian I love seeing progress pictures - you look fantastic! 53 lbs in 6 months - WOW!!

01/18 187.6 42.4 % BF
01/19 189.8 43.2% BF
01/20 190.0 43% BF Well wrong direction but it's that TOTM so hopefully will be seeing a whoosh here in the next couple of days. This is week 2 back at the gym after a long december off and I need to remember that it usually takes my body 3 weeks to acclimate to that.
01/21 189.8 42.7% BF 1654 calories total yesterday. At least the scale was under 190. Drinking a lot of water and tea today, staying below 1500 cals with plenty of vegetables.
01/22 189.6 42.4 % BF 1678 calories total. went a bit above my plan bc I decided to have some wine and chocolate after dinner. Woke up this morning with a fever and chills so I skipped the gym and taking it easy all day. Hopefully tomorrow will turn the corner with that! I wanted chicken noodle, but didn't have the correct supplies so made vegetable beef soup instead.

Second round participating! I lost 2.4lbs-3.2lbs un the first round. Let’s see if I can lose another 2!

01/18: 188.4 dieting was hard today but I did everything possible to stay under calories and I did! Also worked out for 1.5 hours this morning.

01/19 188.4 no change is good. I was way over sodium yesterday. Family dinner tonight but I kept portions small. I suspect I’ll stay the same tomorrow.

01/20 190.4 discouraged about weight going up but I managed to stay under calories and sodium today despite working out of office. I brought my own foods and didn't eat out.

01/21 189.4 ok, moving back down. Stayed under calories today. I am trying to remind myself that I could’ve not gained fat when I’ve been on a consistent deficit.

01/22 188.4 I was really hungry today but I kept practicing mindfulness and allowing myself to “sit with the discomfort” until dinner time instead of responding to it quickly by shoving a unplanned pizza. I’m incredibly proud of myself. Also, even tho I’m on a deficit I was able to maintain strength. Squatting 245x4!

@PrimalJillian. You're are looking amazing. Such a difference. Well done

Round 102 (24 for me)
Wrapping up my break this weekend and moving ahead into a new semester. As much as I’ve enjoyed the time off, I’m excited to meet my students and take on a new set of experiences and challenges.
I’ve been playing around with my calorie allowance lately, starting to transition to a smaller deficit and slower rate of weight loss. I’ll continue to make adjustments as I add to my exercise routine this spring. The key for me is to make small changes that fit my lifestyle and are sustainable long term.

60 Female 5’6”
Starting weight: 212.8 (2/28/19)
Maintenance goal: 145-150
R102 (24) – SW: 172.6 – EW: ???

Daily goals for this round:
1) Stay hydrated.
2) Log carefully and maintain a calorie deficit.
3) Walk or exercise 30+ minutes.
4) Cross something off my "to do" list

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 – 172.0 – Good to start with a drop, even though it’s only back to where I started the last round. Lazy Saturday, but I got a lot of reading done before watching a movie with my husband. Wine and chocolate put me a bit over on calories.
01/19 – 172.6 – Too many calories. Didn’t bother to log, but I did manage to squeeze in a walk with my grandson.
01/20 – 173.2 – Post-weekend bounce and early weigh-in. Last day of my winter break. Grandkids had off from school, so we spent a couple of hours at the rec center and then baked chocolate chip cookies. Had two still warm from the oven, and then sent the rest home with the boys. Still stayed under my calorie limit, and I have lots of healthy meals planned for the rest of the week.
01/21 – 172.2 – Headed back down, but maybe not steadily. I’d planned to cook, but my meeting ran late and I wound up getting takeout again. Still well under my calorie limit, but pretty salty, so we’ll see what the scale says tomorrow. Met with the trainer today for my fitness assessment and workout plan.
01/22 – 173.0 – Well, that what pastrami, cole slaw, and a pickle will do, but I’m getting tired of riding this roller coaster. Under my calorie limit and macros all in the green today. Short indoor walk and got a few chores done.

@PrimalJillian - Wow! What a transformation! Fantastic work

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 102 (round 34 for me ) I'm in for another round – really need to move on (again) !

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 just lose - aim to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking & refrain from attacking the cookie jar and left over Christmas chocolates – plan is to put them in DH lunch box each day 'til they're gone!!

Day/Weight/Comment

01/18 136 – 9.7 miles walked, pre planning & logging worked yesterday, I'll use it again today. Feels good to be back in control, all macros & calories well in green.
01/19 136 – 11.86 miles walked yesterday in the glorious winter sunshine. Today will be a challenge, last “Christmas” celebration of the season, all my large family get together, siblings, respective children and grandchildren, 30+ of us, we hire a church hall and all bring bits of food, you may know it as a Jacobs table or an American supper? I'm getting out for a good walk this morning beforehand and then really going to try to make healthy choices.
01/20 136.6 – 8.06 miles walked. Did indulge a little, but tried to make mostly healthy choices at our last family “Christmas” get together. Calories, carbs & sodium all over, BUT, I fought with my inner self to not use it as an “excuse” to run into a major binge (this is what would normally happen) – and it was a fight!! But the healthier me won and I ate only an apple after we got home at 6.00pm last night. So this morning I've pre-logged my food for the day and have some good walking planned too. Have a good Monday everyone!
01/21 135.8 - 10.69 miles walked yesterday, carbs 7g over, but calories and all other macros well in green. Still feeling more in control, but knee is niggling from an old injury way back in adolescence, wouldn't let me do all my stretching and toning exercises this morning, it didn't like dancing the samba as our latin & ballroom class last night, hopefully I'll still be OK for my walking today.
01/22 135.4 – 11.95 miles walked yesterday, knee is fine walking as long as I made sure I keep it in line rather than twist it – I will “nurse” it through yoga this morning. All calories & macros well in green, feeling strong.
01/23 135 – 9.98 miles walked yesterday and an hours yoga – knee held up and getting better – yeah. All macros and calories in green.

R100 1/7/20 -1.7 kg (3.7 lbs)
R101 1/8/20 -2.8 kg (6.2 lbs)

R102 goal: continue the alternate IF/Keto routine

Day/Weight/Comment
01/18 79.5 kg Ah well, the round starts with a small gain. Eating was all okay but I didn't drink enough yesterday and was a bit stressed. That's most probably why and it's okay.
01/19 79.5* kg Fasted 21 hrs. In between I got hungry but I managed to keep myself busy and it passed easily. I also started exercising again and expect the scale will move upwards for a bit the next days. But doesn't really matter. I fit in a jeans again that a week ago was too tight even to close. Now it's comfortable. I can feel that my body is changing:-)
01/20 79.3 kg stuck to the keto routine. had to deal with hormonal cravings. Halo top, more nuts and protein helped but only ACV stopped the craving.
01/21 80.1kg Fasted for 22.5 hrs. Stayed under calories, exercised and worked quite a lot. I forgot about drinking enough because of being busy. That's most probably the reason for more weight this morning. From experience the weight goes up in these phases but the body still slims down. Nearly by the day the trousers become more comfortable.
01/22 80.1* kg Still following my IF/keto plan. I like how my energy levels have changed and I feel mentally somehow more confident in general. Installed a fasting app, curious if I like to use it in the future. Decided to weigh in only in 3 days because I feel that I am becoming fixated on the weight and don't like it. Better stop it right at this point. As long as I eat clean, stick to the plan and clothes/ rings are getting wider, there is no reason to be worried about natural fluctuations of water. So I give my mind a break.

01/23 79.4 kg Couldn't help it and weighed myself. Fasted for 23.5 hrs and broke the fast with lean protein and soup. Took care of drinking enough. Life is stressfull atm but I try to take short breaks so that my body can relax and not fall into fat storing mode too much. Decided to park the car for the commute in a distance today so that I get in a relaxing walk
