Round 103, 20th Round for Me
Starting Weight: 281.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 279.2 lbs
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28: 282.2 lbs (+1.0) … great start to the round! Oh well, upticks happen… all the time. I’m determined to hit 279 this round.
01/29: 280.5 lbs (-1.7) … right back down close to my previous low. I’m a little surprised as I ate a bit more than usual yesterday. Pushing my activity level a bit more this week -- messed around with Ring Fit Adventure on Switch this morning and am thinking about going on an hour walk at lunch if it’s not too cold out. I’m near the end of my audiobook and that’d be some good listening time.
01/30: 281.0 lbs (+0.5) … another small uptick, but I’m trending in the right direction. Got 12,000 steps in yesterday which the first time I’ve been over 10k in quite a while. I’ve been slacking. Hoping to take another walk at lunch today if it’s not too cold out -- it’s chillier this morning than it was yesterday.
01/31: 280.7 lbs (-0.3) … Holding pretty steady around here, just tiny fluctuations. I’ve been increasing my physical activity this week though -- short morning workouts at home and 2.5 mile walks at lunch for the last few days -- so hopefully I’ll see some results from that soon.

Hi, I’m Karen and I’m 53.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
Gym weight lifting class 2 x week

Drink plenty of water, alcohol on weekends
SW-163
1/28-163-Was expecting a loss after a big walk and good eating, then....I was out and about and got stung in the back of the neck by a bee. Farmers have the hives in their orchards, ready for the trees to bloom, but there isn’t anything for the bees to eat and they are hungry, especially after their night of IF! I went to the corner store and bought Benadryl, a corn dog and chocolate donuts.......the wheels had definitely come off. I gained control by dinner and ate sensibly. Off to the gym.
1/29-163-I’m glad to stay in the 160’s.
1/30–161-Big walk yesterday and another one today.
1/31-161-heading out for a walk before work. It’s Friday!!!13 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28: 147.4 - Lol – there you go! Almost 2 lbs loss overnight. It’s a mystery so I shall focus on food, logging, water and exercise. Did my strength circuit today – I will be sore tomorrow.💪
01/29: 146.8 (– 0.4) My strength circuit definitely got my heart rate up yesterday. Hopefully I can do it again on Thursday. Todays is a run day and I am sore! I ate pretty well yesterday and trying to get more fiber, protein and water. Spouse is gone for a few days so I am looking forward to eating veggies and salads. 🥗
01/30: 147.0 (+.2WTF) My scale seems stupid Hahah. I get on and it says 146.2. I get off. Wait. Reweigh. 147.0. It’s pretty new – a year old. I have recalibrated and use a 8 lb dumbbell to check which weighs 7.8-8 lbs depending on the day. Whatever….she says indignantly! Good run, good food tracking, slept great. What else can I ask for? Off to the gym for my strength workout😒
01/31: 147.0 (0) I have eaten under my calories all week, stuck to my exercise plans and the weight is not moving. Must be what I am eating or not eating. I am logging pretty meticulously, even my damn vitamins! The challenge is going out with friends. I ate well but I have to guess at the salad contents. But still stayed well under my calorie needs. NSV? Did not have a drink while everyone did. That was hard! And now the weekend…..gotta stay on track 😲

1/28/20 183.5 I went off plan and had a piece of WW toast with a whole avocado. It was magical. I will still try to stay away from wheat.
1/29/20 183.6 I am eating too much. I can try to fill up more with water.
1/30/20 183.1 down 0.5. I ate a lot but I worked out a lot too. I went to bed early and had a cup of tea instead of eating. I did eat after dinner. I let myself become starving before lunch.
1/31/20 182.7 Did well yesterday. Pushed myself to the pool and swam 30 minutes and when 9pm hunger kicked in I ate one ounce of salami. Under calories for the day. I'm starting to feel like I got this. I'm going to an event tonight with good wind and fancy cheese trays. I'll plan it into my day and stick with just one glass of wine and one small plate of fruit and cheese, of course, I will have my dinner before I go.

1/31 DNW 0 miles I've been traveling for work since Tuesday. I was not able to walk or go to the gym, there was no time. Tried to be good and did for the most part, with the exception of sodium. You can stay on track calorie-wise eating out fairly easily if you pay attention, but you can't do anything about sodium. I'll weigh in tomorrow but I'm sure I'm back up, I can tell by the way my rings fit. OH well. My territory will change in March or April. I'll be flying to Phoenix and Albuquerque instead of driving to St. Louis. It will take me some time to get into the new rhythm and find where I walk etc. I did have an issue with altitude sickness yesterday, which freaked me out a little but I know how to deal with it now (I think). It was embarrassing, I was doing a presentation to 15 people and suddenly felt dizzy. First I said, I need to sit down didn't stop then apparently I got very flushed and one of the ladies in the meeting stopped me and said you have altitude sickness. Take this water and go sit in the cool lobby.
Not the best first impression to give my new team. I'm a flatlander to them.12 -

I am glad that I am not the only one.
I enjoyed my day off but wow! I am SWAMPED being back at work. It is a double edged sword, unfortunately. 
There IS that!
Sarah, where in Ohio are you? Our DGD#1 is being transferred to Cincinnati.

@shunggie I'm sure that they are used to it...Probably better that you heeded their advice, rather than passing out. THAT wouldn't have made a good impression, for sure!
@CamandJarvis @kecward78 Good luck on the job hunts! I don't envy you that rollercoaster ride, although it can be fun when you're done!

RSW 137
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 138.5 -- A bit irritated. Yesterday was a good day, so no idea where this came from. Frequently, I guess I have a drop, bounce up and then go down to stay....but this still annoyed me!
01/29 138 -- Wishing it was better than this! Good day yesterday and I'm sticking to plan!
01/30 138 -- At least it isn't going up. Feeling a bit low energy yesterday and today.
01/31 137.5 -- I was really hoping the holiday weight gain would just come right back off. Sadly, it seems it wants to be a bit more stubborn than that. On the other hand, I'm only 5 pounds up since the start of chemotherapy, and the mastectomy before that. And my clothes still fit, and I'm feeling pretty healthy. And those 5 pounds mean I don't have to worry about maintenance for some time still. So I'm settling back into the it's a journey, not a destination. Glad to be on this journey with all of you!

01/27 …..190.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/28 …..189.9 ….. TMI helped. I think there is some exercise inflammation today. Very very sore from the long school walk. Walked for 2 hours and 7 minutes at a pretty good pace burning 743 calories. Another 28 minute walk burned an additional 125 calories for a total burn of 868. Incomplete logging as I fell asleep early & exhausted. Yay me. I slept 6 hours & 29 minutes. A guesstimate of calories in are about 1800. Calories out 2834. 23,076 total steps & 10.18 Total Miles. 13/13 fitbit step hours. TRAVEL TODAY taking brother for some hospital testing including liver ultrasound. I will be leaving shortly and will be back sometime after dark tonight. I am going to try to stay strong & not upset the balance of my progress in my sugar levels. Good luck everyone on this new round & thanks grandmajackie for posting.
01/29 …..191.8 ….. I’ve posted some new goals today. In regards to yesterday: My brother (who chooses the restaurant since he rarely travels & doesn’t drive) chose Pizza Hut yesterday during our travel. The WORST place for low carb. I don’t eat lettuce or salad so I tried to keep my portion small. My belly & thighs are like magnets for carbs. The scale goes up and the clothes feel tighter. I did try to offset by walking 58 minutes at about 3.0 mph in my house last night burning 325 extra calories. Otherwise, a lot of sitting during the driving and then later, more sitting during the movie night with my son. I had a few snacks I probably didn’t need during the movie but I tried not to let the pizza earlier turn my whole day into a carb fest. I hope a lot of what was on the scale this morning is fluid retention and will sort itself out today because it wasn’t a huge over-indulgence, just the wrong foods. Overall fitbit stats: Calories in unsure / Calories Out 2406. 14,315 Total Steps & 6.06 Total Miles. 11/13 fitbit step hours. I slept 4 hours & 27 minutes and am tired and groggy. Even with feeling so foggy and exhausted, I feel a strong resolve today. My glucose numbers were not bad this morning and it makes me feel encouraged. Welcome to all the newbies!
01/30 …..191.8 ….. Holding steady which is actually nice considering the very unexpected “lets go out to lunch” invite I got from DD#2. I couldn’t turn her down because we only get out together for anything a couple of times a year so we stayed local and I was mindful though I was over calorie and carb but not too bad. Fitbit stats: Calories In unsure/Calories Out 2409. 14,465 Total Steps & 6.12 miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 29 minutes but it was a toss & turn horrible night. Tired today. I walked for 79 minutes with DGS #2 (age 11) at the school while DGS #1 was in tutoring and hopefully getting back on track (ADHD). It was a shorter walk because tutoring is only 1 hour but we got it all in and a little extra after tutoring to boot. It is worth cutting my walks shorter if my grandsons each benefit in some way. Today will be another walk with grandson #2 during tutoring again. I am hoping to get my son out there with us, we shall see. I have to bribe him, but it’s a start!
01/31 …..191.6 ….. a small drop for which I am grateful. I had a slow sugar drop last night at about 2:30 a.m. I kept it under control but it did put me on the higher end of the carbs & calories that I normally aim for. Drats! Just when I thought I was out of the woods. It’s a process so as long as I see improvement in my glucose (and my weight) I guess I will be happy. Yesterdays ending stats: 1778 Calories In / 2554 Calories Out. 47 Net Carbs. 17,172 Total Steps & 7.27 Total Miles. 11/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 55 minutes and awoke refreshed. I walked after school in the halls with DGS #2 again and this time my son ACTUALLY JOINED ME!!! I had to bribe him with food (I know, I know, not a great idea but he doesn’t respond to much else with his autism). I picked him up a carry-out dinner that stayed well within his calorie limits for the day. I also got my two DGS’s something to take home to share with the family. I, however, came home and made an omelet and two turkey sausage links. NSV to smell that food in the car after taking such a long school walk and ordering nothing for myself, so yay me!

@deepwoodslady Congrats on getting your son (and grandsons) walking, and getting him a treat that fit within his calorie plan! And good for you to go home and cook yourself a healthier meal within your plan! I truly admire your perseverence! I have to say that sometimes I get annoyed at YOUR scale for not giving credit where credit is due!!

@bearly63 One of my “favorite” stories of eating a salad at a restaurant was about 10 years ago when I was doing WW. This place had WW points on the menu and I made a good choice. My husband picked a not WW item - apple walnut (I think) salad. He ate the whole “healthy” thing. I looked up the nutrition when we got home - 1600 calories! YIKES!!!! And he needed to eat something more, later at home.4

01/30- 156 this is a nice trend, but I'm not sure how sustainable nor authentic it is. I've been tight with calories for sure.
01/31-155 pretty sure I'll be up tomorrow, because we had a work social (I had a chicken wing and a mini bite size sub) and THEN I had a dinner date last night, admittedly it was healthy salmon and rice, but definitely need to watch myself today. Tracking every day and checking in here to keep honest. Eating well/healthy today. Keep going everyone!!!

@kmfeig87 Thanks so much for the comments & support. Sometimes it is hard to fight age, hormones, medication side-effects (including steroids), physical limitations (bad knees) and that pesky T2D that likes to store fat a certain way. However, we all have issues of one kind or another so I just keep giving it whatever my best is for that day, one day at a time in 10 day blocks.
I watched the first episode of the new season of "biggest loser" and there is a contestant on there that said "I beat cancer, I can do this!!" So, that is me (and you too, Trina!).
I always keep this manta close to my heart from one of my personal heroes:

Haha, I was ready and waiting for him to get up and he slept until 11! When he got up he went to lunch with our blind friend so I went to the gym and ran errands!

1/30 122.5 Very short night. Less than 4 hours sleep. Really bad choice for dinner last night -Popeye’s chicken. And no TMI x2
1/31 121.0 * Note to self - skip Popeye’s chicken in the future! Yesterday did some food prep for the freezer- fathead pizza crusts and chaffles, started digging out the sewing table. It’s been quite a while since it was cleared off. Still lots to do but I need to get ready for the All Day Sew tomorrow and really don’t want to have to haul a truck load of stuff to have what I need!12 -

I’m in for another round.
R100 1/7/20 (-1.6)
R101 1/18/20 (-4.4)
R102 1/27/20 (-1.4)
Start Weight- 218.8lb
Current Weight- 211.4lb
End of Round 103 Goal- 207.5
Ultimate Goal- 173lb
1/28- 211.8lb (+0.4lb) not bothered by the gain, although not seen a new low for a while now. I guess that’s the issue with writing everyday. Having said that, my tracking hasn’t been as religious as it has been previously, so must get back on track with that. I’ve got a series of goals to aim for and I’m determined to reach them.
1/29- 210lb (-1.8lb) nice substantial loss, after quite a few days of see-sawing up and down the same half pound. Cautious about this mini-Woosh as I didn’t feel well yesterday, went to bed early and only ‘picked’ at my tea. Still good to see a new low weight for a while thought. Yearning for lighter nights, so I can get back to running. Half marathon booked for late May- done the distance a lot in the past, but it will be a big deal to be able to train and accomplish this distance again.
1/30- 211.2lb (+1.2lb) I knew that yesterday’s loss was a strange one. Been much better with my logging today so hopefully a part of the gain will be elimated!
1/31- 209.6lb (-1.6lb). So happy to be back down to a new low, feel back on track in my mindset too. Ready to attack the weekend with two intense gym sessions and hopefully keeping on track with fluid and food intake. My partner is due to give birth any day now- determined to lose this weight and become a role model for my boy 🤞😀

Female, 58 yy, 4'11''
OSW: 177.1 lbs
LTG: 105 lbs and BF 23% (or lower, we’ll see :-) (Expect to reach in February-September)
STG: reach long term goal - or - at least maintain below 110 and reduce BF%!
Goals for 10 Day Challenge: reach last rounds low of 106. Ideally keep WT<108.0, BF <25.8%
EW round 102: 110.6, BF 26.2%
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 108.2, BF 25.6% Losing weekend bump about as fast as it came on! Discovered website NetNutrition that lists all nutrition info for eateries on campus that lets you build up nutrition info by items for each meal! Good news is that most of my guestimates were within 50 calories of the those on the site. Using Loseit for food diary as MFP kept creating double entries (did not show in phone app) but were imported into Apple Health Kit which made figuring adjusting caloriesand TDEE for this last 5 pounds really hard! I can import all entries from the NetNutrition site with my phone camera quite easily and create my typical meals. Bad news is that my selections for Indian food today at lunch had more sodium than what I typically have in a day (over 2000!). Expect that will have some impact tomorrow… But at least going forward I can preplan lunch before heading out! Exercise good - weights with trainer (sore!) and yoga (am) and plan on cycle after work to help loosen up quads.
01/29 108.6, BF 25.7% pretty good - food retention (got to work on fiber timing/intake so the poop fairy visits before weigh in :-), sodium, and DOMS (BB back squats, BB bench press, cable chops yesterday) but weight within typical daily variation (seriously need to get a foam roller for my office!) Today - cycle class after work followed by kettle bell class from 7-8. Big lunch today (latin bowl) so will be eating a lighter dinner after class as not sure if the format for kettle bells will be circuit or tabata - cannot do a tabata format after eating!!!
01/30 108.0, BF 25.6% Killer cardio yesterday! Did spin class at uni gym, had a protein bar then went to kettle bell class at other gym - only two of us there! Fortunately it was a circuit format, but felt exhausted by the end of it - need to work on situps with the kettle bell and wrist strength on right side so that I can do a clean with a heavier weight for the OH press and not leave bruises on my forearm! Light dinner (ate most calories at lunch), then caught up on email, bath and bed. Too much cardio activity at that hour, however, did not lead to restive sleep (although hope it kept burning fat - lol). Next class is on Monday (tabata) so definitely not doing back to back classes! Except for my bruised arm, feel good today. Last of my workout A for Stage 6 in “Strong” (the 4x4 series), then last B workout on Sunday and will be excited to start Stage 7 next week!
1/31 107.0, BF 25.3% Yeah! Back to weight from last Friday! Moderate evening cycle last night and then refueled on “Caramelized Shallot Pasta” (from recent NYT recipe) and huge green salad. Nice to see a loss after pasta, but calories and exercise were on target! Seafood order for pickup at the Farmer’s Market Saturday is in and have dinners preplanned so as long as I don’t eat lunch out (too much sodium/fat/carbs) and avoid late night snacking on fritos/tortilla chips hope to minimize the weekend bump and stay below 108! (i.e can sometimes do one or the other but not two meals out and LNS). Looking at my typical calorie in/calorie out pattern, I tend to "refeed" on weekends (eat back more exercise calories), which is probably needed, which makes it so more important to look at the longer turn trend.

My body is my ally
R102 EW: 73.1kg
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 73.2kg - no exercise, 16.5hrs hrs fast
My eating window was a bit longer yesterday as dinner took long was quite small and I then had a bunch of snacks, silly me. Today, I stayed home sick, sore throat turned into feeling overall unwell. So hardly any steps and no exercise.
01/29 73.1kg - no exercise, 16hrs
Still off sick. I have to accept that I won't meet my step, running or yoga goals this week. It would be nice if Fitbit had an option to add this and put goals on pause.

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion......Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Now I'm waiting to get my hip fixed. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh! I can't do any walking or biking...both kill me. I see my personal trainer three times a week. She is taking it very slow and easy with me.
I have March 10th as my hip surgery date...much better than April!

And good for you to go home and cook yourself a healthier meal within your plan! I truly admire your perseverence! I have to say that sometimes I get annoyed at YOUR scale for not giving credit where credit is due!!
@kmfeig87 Thanks so much for the comments & support. Sometimes it is hard to fight age, hormones, medication side-effects (including steroids), physical limitations (bad knees) and that pesky T2D that likes to store fat a certain way. However, we all have issues of one kind or another so I just keep giving it whatever my best is for that day, one day at a time in 10 day blocks.
I watched the first episode of the new season of "biggest loser" and there is a contestant on there that said "I beat cancer, I can do this!!" So, that is me (and you too, Trina!).
I always keep this manta close to my heart from one of my personal heroes:
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
I appreciate so much that you are a part of my journey Trina!
@deepwoodslady & @kmfeig87 - Donna & Trinda, Wow, both of you are very inspiring! I love finding out a little bit more about you all every day. Donna, I never would have thought you had bad knees with all the walking and exercise you do!!! I have bad knees too, so I am not doing enough! lol Keep up the good work!! I am glad to be here with you both! :flowerforyou:
btw - I have never had cancer but I too have been touched by it. Sadly, I don't believe there are many who have not been touch by the big "C". It is painful indeed.
