Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 - 377.8 - The drop continues. IF is definitely working for me. If the rate doesn't naturally slow down, I may have to jump off it occasionally to keep the rate down.
01/29 - 377.6 - A nice, little drop. Bad night of sleep, so I'll take it. Now down 25 lbs. since I started this journey on Nov. 17th.
01/30 - 377.6 - As long as it doesn't rise, I'm ok with that. Might be stress from the job interview.
01/31 - 376.5 - Down one more. Stress from job hunting may be raising my cortisol and slowing my weight loss. I wonder if there's a test for that??? I guess once I find something, we'll see. Still going in the right direction.
02/01 - 376.3 - Still going the right direction.

5' 7" Age 40's
Original start weight: 178 lbs (Oct. 10, 2019)
Goal this round: 161.0 lbs and stay or be lower than for three days.
Ultimate goal 135 lbs.
I am unsure of this new low weight hanging around and don't want to be disappointed when it starts bobbing so goal this round is set for expected bouncing.
Round 102 End/Round 103 start weight: 161.2 lbs
01/28 160. 6 lbs.
01/29 161.0 lbs
01/30 161.2 lbs Over calories, did the usually grocery shopping with friends and had a few beverages and pizza after. Not bad considering.
01/31 162.4 lbs Must be from yesterday, I was under calories and walked my two miles plus over 11,000 steps. I just have been not getting my toning workout done this week because I have to walk inside due to the ice outside, resulting in loss of motivation.
02/01 162.0 lbs

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 😲
02/01: 146.2 (-.8) Had a good run yesterday and had my dinner plans cancelled which made me happy. Was able to track and eat what I wanted and had a nice chill Friyay night! Today I am going to track and store some cals for tomorrow and the Super Bowl. Go 'niners! Happy Feb Fools day😎

Eat at/under calorie goal each day (I’m full time breast-feeding, so that’s still a lot of calories!). Be especially watchful of evening eating. Hydrate. Move. Lose any amount.

Salty bump. I stuck to my calorie goal, didn’t snack in the evening, and walked in the very cold afternoon.
1/29/20 - 178.2
I see my fat cells are going to make a stand. I did have a snack in the evening but was within calories. Oh well — I’ll just keep on the path.
1/30/20 - 179.6
What? This has to be sodium. I did have lunch out yesterday, but my calories have been below my goal, which is well below maintenance, for days, so this is weird. Ok, gallons of water today.
1/31/20 - 179.4
Ok, last night I had some salty snacks at a women’s movie night gathering, and definitely felt over-salted in the middle of the night. Drinking water water water!
2/1/20 - 179
Slowly, slowly. DH wanted to go out for lunch yesterday, but I got a turkey club and deconstructed it — ditched the bread. Had an apple for dinner. Sadly had a half cup of moose tracks frozen yogurt later, but still ok on calories. I’ve been drinking gallons of water but still feel puffy. Hopefully today I can wash out the remaining salt from movie night. Yeesh! Have a great weekend, all!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 203.7 (0); Monday info: 1784 steps, 1 of 12, 5hr44m (74): I am NOT going to lie. I took a mental health day from work b/c I just couldn’t face the world. I hate the cold weather. I have been going non-stop for what feels like too long. I didn’t track a single item. I ate like crap. I sat on my butt all day. I had just had enough and needed a break. Bleh! **Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of my system…back to the grind. All better now. 😊
01/29 – 204.1 (+0.4); Tuesday info; 7035 steps, 8 of 12, 5hr40m (73): Trying to pick myself up off the floor and get 100% back on track has proven difficult (which is normal). I was swamped at work all day which is probably the only reason I managed to get over 7K in steps. I felt like I was running all over the office like a crazed nutjob. I managed to track 2 meals and then faltered at home. (Missed journaling yesterday as well.)
01/30 – 204.9 (+0.8); Wednesday info: 5286 steps, 8 of 12, 5hr18m (71): No provider at work so we had all day in-service with our soon to retire manager and our brand new manager who is taking over 100% on Monday. Lots of tears as our office has been through A LOT with our retiring manager in the last 3+ years. I only managed to track breakfast. Taco bar potluck during the meeting. Skipped the desserts! #win (Just realized that I’m getting close to “shark week” so I’m PMS’ing. NomNomNom StressStressStress)
01/31 – 202.5 (-2.4); Thursday info: 5132 steps, 7 of 12, 6hr5m (78): Pretty standard long day at work. Trying to do Greek yogurt and my protein drink for breakfast instead of buying bagel/cream cheese at the Bistro in my building. The protein drink is 24oz of water and seems to hold me thru to lunch at 1:30pm. I’ve packed my lunch every day (instead of buying at the Bistro). I skipped my office party for retiring manager which meant no eating out! Also, did NOT have any diet pop after work! Trying to get more water in.
02/01 – 201.7 (-0.8); Friday info: 5303 steps, 8 of 12, 5hr12m (71); Friday was an odd day. Partial day of work and then office closed to attend my manager’s bid retirement party. I stayed away from the cake and had some healthy finger foods. Friday night is always the night that my Dad’s side of the family gets together for dinner. This time it was Old Bag of Nails. I did the chicken cobb salad with balsamic dressing (usually I’m a blue cheese fan). I had one bottle of Diet Coke (with breakfast at work). Water at dinner and tea at home. Yay! ((My barn friends don’t drink pop so they have been ragging on me A LOT about it lately.))
Total for the round: -2.0
**Weather isn't cooperating so no barn today. Which means I will need to be careful about binge eating and being sedentary. Will try to get some house walking in today.11 -

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.

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.
2/1/20 183.7 Up a pound from yesterday. I’m going to kick it at the gym today and eat a big lunch since I am going to a pasta dinner.

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
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.

1/28 122.0 I’ve caught up with posts so will get dressed and go to the gym with DH. No excuses!

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!
1/29 121.0
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!
2/1 121.0 I have a carefully planned food day to go with my all day sew. I woke up with a touch of vertigo. ARRRGGHHH! Posting before ready all because my friends will be picking me up soon. Top of page 18. Happy February everyone!11 -
Thanks 🤗 loads Jackie (@GrandmaJackie) and Molly (@IsMollyReallyHungry) and everyone else who helps keep these rounds going. I'd lost sight of how inspiring daily posts can be.
I appreciate everyone who participates. You all help keep me accountable and motivated.
172.6 starting weight for round 103
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 172.6
This year I saw numbers I never believed I'd see again. I'm back below the obesity mark and intend to stay. Ten years ago I promised myself no birthday or gastric bypass "surgiversary" would find me obese again. I'm revising this to overweight.
Only 28lbs separate overweight and obese and 33lbs a solid normal 24 BMI and obese. Going forward overweight per the charts is no longer acceptable to me.It's not about the charts. I experience changes with even small shifts in body fat.
This round I want to reduce blood pressure and heart rate. I'll only achieve this in the 160's and below. I'll lose as much as I can this round. Low carb, fasting, & fat burning exercise will get me there.
01/29. 173.2.
As much as I hate seeing the scale go up I'm comforted with the knowledge that I weighed in with a belly full. When I weigh at my heaviest time of day I've got a built in psychological cushion.
Yesterday and today where planned totally free days. Yay me, I fasted over 18hrs yesterday and maintained calorie control both days. This fasting/ restricted eating protocol helps me with appetite control. It's a big plus that I've come to enjoy it. No hunger and it just feels right. My appetite returns when it's time to eat usually after 16-18hrs.
01/30. 171.6
I'm praying I'll be in the 160's before my next medical in a couple of weeks. Today's eating has been nutritional crap giving me three days of high sodium, sugar & flour.
The sodium is no issue when balanced with sufficient potassium. I'm all good once I'm eating my greens again. Sugar and flour are my personal kryptonite. It's going to take the weekend for me to get these out of my system.
Fingers crossed, the weekend recovery period will win me a pound or two of water weight loss. I'm back on low carb and watching my water intake.
Getting enough is easy for me. My problem is getting too much then needing diuretics. I've been warned but the sipping habit is hard to break. Beverages are a great substitute when I want to nibble.
No time to read this thread over the last few days but I'll catch up this weekend. Wishing you all well and thanks for all of your much needed support.
01/31. 172.2
I've been mis behaving terribly leaving me feeling bloated and cranky. Once again calories low and macros crap. I really have to haul @$$ to drop the water weight over the weekend. My scrambled brain is overwhelmed making food an afterthought. That keeps the calories down but instead I eat what's easy instead of what's good.
02/01. 170.6
I'm seeing light at the end of this tunnel and I'm sure it's not a vehicle about to mow me down. I'll soon be out of the 170's in spite of myself.
It's very early for me to post my day but time is scarce. I'm declaring that I will stick to my plan today. If I do not it makes me a liar. Of course I am a liar but I reserve my lies for when it really counts. 😜

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 124.2 – Bad choices yesterday and a late dinner/snack last night.
01/29 – 124.8 – Pretty sure this is delayed from Sunday/Monday. Ate within my calories yesterday but did have more carbs than normal.
01/30 – 124.0 – Feeling better about that, I seem to be more comfortable in the 122-124 range.
01/31 – 124.0 – I also need to work on some recomp and toning. I started off the year trying to do some jogging, but that hasn’t happened lately due to rain and it’s dark when I get off work. I think I am going to look on Pinterest and find an indoor, body weight workout I can do during February. My 5 year old loves telling me to do burpees.

1/28/20 - 206.0—another gain. 😡Happy Birthday to me. Can’t wait for my body to get back to that losing streak. Or even just to the weight I was at the bottom of the streak. One day of hedonism and 3 days of gains. 😢
1/29/20 - 205.0— there it is! 😊 not yet back to Saturday’s number, but headed back in the right direction. Not having that piece of cake at work must have helped! Non-scale victory: saw a sub 8min time on one of my sprints today!
1/30/20 - 202.6 —not for the right reason! Was up half the night with food poisoning 🤮 Needless to say have eaten very little and very carefully so far today, and have not tried exercise yet...
1/31/20 - 202.6 — expected a rise because I was able to hydrate by I guess I didn’t eat enough yesterday to affect the number. No morning exercise today either...stomach seems to be recovering but still very tired and headachy. Hope this is over by tonight!
2/1/20 -- 203.6 — there it is. That’s what I weigh with food in my stomach. Got to eat pretty normally yesterday. And proud I continued to track no matter what. Stomach is still unhappy today but getting back on track. Looking forward to some exercise today.

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. Goal Weight this Round: 160
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!!!
2/1-161-I’m glad to be holding it here, eating sensibly.. Crab feed tonight, I hope to eat crab, salad and drink water.13
