1/21 206.2 -- Whew! My losses have been so slow compared to previous weight loss attempts I was wondering if my maintenance calories had fallen to a really low level. Nice to see this method (track, exercise, journal) will produce results
1/22 205.8 -- happy to see another loss! Need to be careful with calories today, though, as I’ve skipped my morning exercise due to a massive blister. ☹️
1/23 205.2 — whoohoo! It’s like my body finally said “oh, she’s serious about this, guess it’s time to finally get going”. 😁. I won’t expect a loss everyday, but nice to have momentum for these past 3!

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.

01/23: 129.4 - off to swim some laps. Did my elbow p/t last night, there might be some itsy bitsy signs of improvement...

Starting Weight: 283.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 281.2 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

01/18: 282.9 lbs (-0.3) ... Down a bit more today. Hopefully I’m done with my eating struggles and can stay on the right path going forward.

01/19: 281.3 lbs (-1.6) … Nice little whoosh there. Let’s see if I can hold onto it! This is my first new low weight since late November.

01/20: 281.3 lbs (no change)

01/21: 282.6 lbs (+1.3) … Up a little. Still on track with my eating plan so it’s just a fluctuation rather than anything to worry about.

01/22: 281.6 lbs (-1.0) … And away most of that fluctuation goes. Much better than I expected, since dinner was a bit carb-heavy (rice) and later than usual.

01/23: 281.3 lbs (-0.3) … I keep seeing this number this round!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/17 …..189.9….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/18 …..189.9 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1423 Calories In / 2984 Calories Out. 42 Net Carbs. 21,302 Total Steps & 9.01 Total Miles. 10/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 6 hours & 1 minutes but it was very broken sleep. I walked for 2 hours & 7 minutes at the school burning 969 calories walking very briskly and I walked on my property for a short 12 minute walk at about 3.0 mph burning another 72 calories. Total extra burn 1041. Good luck everyone! Let’s make this one really count!

01/19 …..189.7 ….. Yesterday’s stats: 1716 Calories In / 2125 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 8,197 Total Steps & 3.47 Total Miles related to working. 12/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 3 minutes but I needed so much more. I walked steady for 15 minutes at 2.5 mph burning 65 calories which didn’t help my situation

01/20 …..189.7 ….. First a report on my son who is an adult autistic beautiful boy. First official weekly weigh-in this morning showed a 5.8 pound loss for him Yesterday’s stats: 1838 Calories In / 2436 Calories Out. 76 Carbs. 12,232 Total Steps & 5.18 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 6 minutes and woke up very tired. The school is not open to walk on Sat/Sun and the weather hit 11 degrees below zero by dark. Too cold & icy to walk outside yesterday. I cleaned cabins for a couple of hours. Fitbit saw it as 27 minutes of activity so that’s what I record. I am learning so much from you all. Thanks to everyone for your comments & your sharing. A special thanks to Tish.

01/21 …..189.6 ….. A little up on calories but my carbs were within acceptable levels with my current plan of readjustment. A nice good long exercise walk yesterday at the school to help get the scale to move. Yesterday’s stats: 1808 Calories In / 2861 Calories Out. 48 Net Carbs. 21,306 Total Steps & 9.02 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 31 minutes falling asleep earlier last night. I woke up much better rested. I walked at the school at about 3.5 mph average for 116 minutes burning 711 Extra calories. I also cleaned 2 cabins with light to moderate effort along with other duties. I felt pretty good yesterday. My meals and days have been on point, but my night time snacking is putting me a bit higher than desired. I think I am still in fear of the sugar drops as this is when it always occurs – at night. I am making moderate choices and feeling good. I will continue to work toward my ultimate macro goal.


01/22 …..189.6 ….. A small glucose episode last night put me slightly over carb but I was still under calorie goal. I DO NOT WANT THE DOCTOR TO PUT ME BACK ON THE PILLS SHE TOOK ME OFF OF. I still take 2500 mg of Metformin for T2 Diabetes, but dropped 4 other pills after starting Keto originally. I can’t believe I let an extended holiday period of time take me this far back into bad health!!! I continue to slowly work on this. I know it can be done, I managed it when I first started my weight loss journey. I also realized last night that I have been doing a lot of walking during the week which is exactly what you do to help LOWER your blood sugars. So this may also be affecting the severe night lows (after the evening walks). As suggested by @musicsax I will probably try to reserve more carbs for nighttime, after the exercise day is over. I have been using up most of them before the walk because of having some weakness and dizzy spells during the walks if I haven’t eaten enough of them. Balancing it out is proving tough, but the formula is in there somewhere and I will find it. At some point, my body will re-adjust to it all and it won’t be as difficult – The incidences will greatly decrease. Every pound I can drop will also help as the overall glucose is (then) improved. It’s like a science equation really. Yesterday’s stats: 1545 Calories In / 2953 Calories Out. 62 Net Carbs. 20,652 Total Steps & 8.74 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 47 minutes and it felt good. I walked for 14 minutes at home at about 3.0 mph burning 72 cals. I walked at the school for 113 minutes at 4.0 mph burning 775 cals, and I danced for 18 minutes burning 144 cals. [/color=crimson]Sample song: “Pontoon” by Little Big Town.[/color=crimson] Total extra calorie burn 991. I have many projects that are behind at home. I haven’t decided yet whether to drop the school walk for the day, rest the body a little bit and get some work at home done. We’ll see how I feel later. The walking is very habitual and addictive. It’s hard to say “no” to.

01/23 …..189.9 ….. I deserve this. I cracked a bit under the pressure of making my son’s dinner (which is in his plan, but not mine). Usually I do very well at home. This was a disappointment to myself. The only plus was that I did switch it up a bit to be more carb friendly for my share, but it was still over the top. Yesterday was also a rest day from the long walks. I worked on projects at home. I got A LOT done. Still more to do, but I’ve got to try to fit in a walk of some sort today at the school. I would love to finish up what I’m in the middle of at home, but need and miss the walk. Also, bad behavior should not be rewarded with a day off. Yesterday’s stats: 1889 Calories In / 2467 Calories Out. 84 Net Carbs. 13,269 Total Steps & 5.61 Total miles in my attempt to get 1000 steps per hour while working at home. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours, I slept 5 hours & 7 minutes and needed much much more. Fitbit recognized 2 sets of walking which totaled 40 minutes. The extra calorie burn was about 243 when combined.

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
01/23 – 164.8 Stuck to IF yesterday but did not log. Think eating was pretty reasonable although tried out a new muffin recipe – good, but in retrospect should have cut the oil some. Now what to do with them? I’m sure they are ridiculously high calorie because of the oil but lots of other good ingredients so hate to just throw them out. Maybe I’ll freeze them and use as a “dessert” option. This is the problem of having no kids at home …

Had a conference/lunch this morning. Was so pleased to see healthy options at the buffet. We parked a distance away, and went for a walk along the promenade afterwards to blow away the cobwebs. Needs must! 😂

Forgot to post. Had friends over for dinner&game night and ended up eating very late.
01/19 73.1kg - 4km run, YWA day 14, 11.5hrs fast
Gain explained by late night shenanigans: But it was a good end to the week: Ran 20km, walked/ran 75k steps and did 5 days of YWA
01/20 73.1kg - rest day, 16hrs fast, YWA day 15
Also good end to the week: average weight is down, only 0.1kg, but down is down
01/21 73.2kg - 45mins run, no yoga, 16hrs fast
Ugh,not what I was expecting. But went for a great run this morning, so my body may not weigh what I would like it to, but it did me proud.
01/22 73.3kg - YWA day 16, 12.5hr fast 🙄
Ok, time to face the facts. I've been stress eating during the day and 'rewarding' myself in the eve. But I'll face the facts from tomorrow. Today was a bad day, tomorrow will be a new one.

01/23 73.3kg - speed run (6km total), 15hrs fast, no yoga
The weight is just reflecting my behaviour. Couldn't fast longer due to work schedule (and didn't plan for that last night). I will be better with that and check my schedule for the next day before I decide what time I stop eating in the evening.
Hooray: Had a great run this morning, got my anger, anxiety and stress out of the system - for today at least

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

@kmfeig87 Congrats on finishing chemo! And I am impressed that your son would rather visit colleges than go to the beach. I enjoyed college visits. We made it a habit to visit colleges with the kids when we were on vacation, when they were little. It got harder to do when they needed to be visiting because they were too busy lol!

Happy to have a go at this again! Last round I set a goal of 57.9 which I achieved today, one day late. These ten days goal is 57.5 kg realistically, 57 kg if I am being ambitious!

01/18 - 57.9 kg

01/20 - 58.4 kg (I was out of control with my eating this past weekend. I am determined to be good henceforth).
01/21 - 58.2 kg
01/22 - 57.7 kg (yay! Good healthy diet plus a killer exercise does help)
01/23 - 57.9 kg (surprised with the rise so must be temporary)
01/24 - 57.9 kg ( ate a lot of wholesome food and worked out. I am sick since yesterday and couldn’t workout if I limit my calories. But was still at maintenance eating range).
