Date/Weight/Comment
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.
2/2/20 185.2 When I go to spaghetti fundraiser dinner. I work out a lot ahead of time. Can’t stop living but I should have picked one small dessert and left it at that. A little bit of a setback after a lot of work to get not very far. Think about this next time I go to an all you can eat. I was good about not going back for seconds, but I shouln't have loaded my plates so high, especially dessert. Two small bites would have been enough dessert.

R103 – Theme: No Excuses Continued!!!!

Goals in 2020: gain lean muscle mass, gain strength, improve running times, focus on macros esp protein goals, hit goal weight.

56 year young, female, 5' 7"ft

OSW 160.0 lbs
RSW 147.4 lbs
RGW 145.4 lbs
UGW 137.0 lbs (I want to gain muscle/going by jeans fit/ so this is just a #)

Past Rounds:

R101 1/17/20 EW: 148.2
R102: 1/27/20 EW: 149.0
R103: 2/06/20 EW:

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! Happy Feb Fools day😎

02/02: 147.2 (+1) Dunno. Worked out, ate under my cals but did have some cocktails (counted every drop in my calories). I made a healthy vegetarian cauliflower rice and beans bowl and used the recipe builder. It was yummy. I know part of this is just plumbing (TMI sorry) but that is out of my control. Had a great 7+ mile run today. Hope to be mindful at the Superbowl party. Cheers🏈

DGD= dear granddaughter
DGS= dear grandson
DH= dear (or damn) husband and DW would be the same for wife😊
SIL -sister-in-law BIL -brother-in-law

Or SIL son in law ?

Ah ha - that makes perfect sense. It was the "D" for dear that was throwing me off. LOL at the "damn" for husband/wife. I guess I would use DA (dear aunt), DU (dear uncle), and DC (dear cousin) seeing as I am single, only child, and have no children.

02/02 - 176.4 I'm back home from the place where diets go to die - the place where I grew up, a small town outside of Atlanta, GA. I didn't cave this time though! Thanks to a solid foundation built through MFP and this group for 30+ days! Even though I did not track my calories or exercise, I ball parked calories and kept them in check, not to lose but to maintain. I was not going to let 5 days derail all my hard work! So thank goodness! I'm back home and ready to start tracking and exercising again. The scale is up 1.4 pounds and I'm happy with that compared to what it could have been. I had lots of salt but compared to other times where I go off the charts with my eating, it just continues to boost my confidence that I can really do it this time! So YAY!! On a personal note, spent lots of time with my soon to be 94 your old Mom (who is absolutely amazing), and my sisters surprised me with a small birthday celebration since they are never with me on my birthday which is weeks away - so very sweet!

Round 103 – I am in!!!
Female, 42, 5’9”, Central Ohio

1/1/19: 213.4
1/1/20: 209.5
UGW 170

Round102: EW 203.7 (-6.4)
Round103: EW ???.?
01/26 – 201.6
01/27 – 203.7

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 big 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.))

02/02 – 200.5 (-1.2); Saturday info: 2459 steps, 4 of 12, 8hr52m (84); Saturday I was stuck at home. My trainer cancelled barn day due to questionable weather for those of us who travel. I didn’t really track much after breakfast and wasn’t mindful about house-walking when my Fitbit alerted me to get up and move on the hour. I was either reading or watching movies. This is typical when I am stuck at home and it is cold outside. This is just life.

Total for the round: -3.2

I need to get myself back on track properly! I'm tracking my calories and trying to be more active, so I think this is a good start.

GOALS THIS ROUND
- Lose any amount of weight
- Track calories 7/10 days
- Minimum of 10 mins activity per day
R103 SW 134.3kg

Day | Weight | Change | Comment
01/28 | 134.3kg | No change | Didn't eat properly or move a lot over the long weekend, but at least I avoided the booze, for the most part! Plan for this week is in place, now I just need to stick to it.

01/29 | 134.0kg | -0.3kg | Only did a little bit of walking yesterday, but did eat better overall than I have been. Need to do something about my snacking in the evenings - we tend to eat dinner very late (9-10pm) so I do get hungry in the meantime and will eat anything I can find! I will try to bring dinner earlier, though it's unlikely to be earlier than 8:30pm as the baby goes to bed about 8pm usually so that's realistically when we can cook dinner! I do notice my snacking is better on nights where we have leftovers to eat, as we do eat a lot earlier then. Something to work on, anyway!

01/30 | 134.0kg | No change | Very late dinner (11pm!) as my mum and sister were visiting and time just got away from us. Was not a healthy dinner. Drank a few beers. Very late to bed - 12:30am and had to be up for work at 5:30 am. But it was a fun night and we don't get to do it often, though it's a two-coffee kind of day today!

01/31 | 133.3kg | -0.7kg | I’m not sure what the story is with this whoosh but I hope it sticks around!

02/01 | 133.7kg | +0.4kg | Pretty active day, took my little to the pool with a friend & my sister. Did some of a beginner kickboxing video which got my heart rate way up! And did some yoga which felt great on my hip. Then had a few beers with hubby last night so it was a nice, relaxing evening watching some movies.

02/02 | 133.7kg | No change | Relaxed day at home with the family yesterday. Took a much-needed nap!

02/03 | 133.9kg | +0.2kg | Sodium uptick, I think. Did some more of the kickboxing video and some yoga which was also great (tried a few new poses which were quite challenging for me). Have almost got my office cleared out so I can turn it into a home gym! Yay!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 - 145.5 - I'm a little surprised I'm still up a half pound from last week, but maybe it's from starting the planking. I can definitely feel the muscles burning even though I'm only holding for 20 seconds.
01/29 - 145 - OK, back to last week's weight.
01/30 - 145.5 - I will continue to weigh and log my food daily as I have done most of this month and believe that I will eventually get back below 145. Someday...sigh.
01/31 - 145.5 - Someday...
02/01 - 145.5 - I ended up having an extra carby, sodium filled supper last night, so I'm just glad that didn't hit me this morning. In the meantime, while I wait for my body to catch up with my diet, I'm going to join a challenge for planking. At least that way if the scale isn't moving, I'll feel like I'm accomplishing something.
02/02 - 144.5 - It's been a while since I've seen this number. Super Bowl party tonight, so I don't think I'll see it tomorrow but at least it's a downward trend.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 – 173.4 – Met my goals today, but had a high sodium lunch. Scratchy throat - Hope I’m not coming down with another cold.
01/29 – 173.4 – Holding steady. Gorgeous sunny day, so I was hoping to walk at the beach. Lost my voice after teaching back-to-back classes, so I skipped the walk on the windy boardwalk, did a couple of quick errands, and headed home to make a pot of tea and do some grading. Fortunately, I don’t have any classes tomorrow. Well under my calorie limit and drinking lots of extra fluids. Hoping that and an early night help me get back up to speed quickly.
01/30 – 172.6 – Nice to see another drop bringing me back to where I started the last round. Felt great after my gym session this morning. However, my 2-hr training workshop this afternoon required a lot more speaking than I’d anticipated, so my voice is even more strained. I seriously need to rest it tomorrow. Met my calorie, hydration, and exercise goals. If I do a quick load of laundry tonight, it’ll be a clean sweep
01/31 – 172.6 – January was a challenging month, but I’m happy to be ending it at a slightly lower weight than I started. This was my first week of really utilizing the campus gym, and it’s gone well but has eaten up a lot of time. The key will be keeping it up as the semester gets busier. My voice is on the mend, helped by lots of herbal tea and a bit of honey. Skipped the wine tonight and made a simple dinner with berries for dessert, banking some calories for the weekend.
02/01 – 171.6 – Woosh! Nice way to start a new month. Cool and dreary day, but my husband and I walked the marsh trail in the park after lunch. It was great to get out, even though we kept it short because DH isn’t a fan of damp, chilly weather. Made some progress on chores this afternoon and stayed within my calorie limit, even with a post-dinner snack of wine and chocolate.
02/02 – 171.8 – Managed to fit in another short walk at the park before my daughter and her family arrived for lunch. Went about 250 calories over today, but I’d banked plenty this week. The high sodium, however, will probably get me and I’ll likely see a bump up tomorrow. Not too worried though, as I’ve learned to take those fluctuations in stride. Just more reason to get right back on track.

Looking forward:

February: I need to focus on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
Cut down on eating between meals

Never give up! Never give in!

2018:
My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
2019
I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
That's a WIN in my book!

2020
I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Round 103:
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.

2/1 109.0, BF 25.8% Kids had BB game last night so did not get home until 8, so later dinner than normal - chicken mushroom stroganoff. did not avoid the LNS with tortilla chips, so may have some water retention. Step aerobics class today so less intense cardio and yoga at home.

2/2 108.8, BF 25.8% Nice to see a drop on the weekend! Overall weight is down 2.8 lb from last Sunday - lots of fluctuations as eating around maintenance calories so good to get use to the range of variability before really going into maintenance. Ate into some of the exercise calories today - went to women’s basketball game and had an impossible burger with fries - ate half of the fries and gave the rest to DH. Dinner was fish tacos at home so overall higher carb day and with eating out for lunch today may see a sodium bump tomorrow.

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.

2/1 109.0, BF 25.8% Kids had BB game last night so did not get home until 8, so later dinner than normal - chicken mushroom stroganoff. did not avoid the LNS with tortilla chips, so may have some water retention. Step aerobics class today so less intense cardio and yoga at home.

2/2 108.8, BF 25.8% Nice to see a drop on the weekend! Overall weight is down 2.8 lb from last Sunday - lots of fluctuations as eating around maintenance calories so good to get use to the range of variability before really going into maintenance. Ate into some of the exercise calories today - went to women’s basketball game and had an impossible burger with fries - ate half of the fries and gave the rest to DH. Dinner was fish tacos at home so overall higher carb day and with eating out for lunch today may see a sodium bump tomorrow.

Day/Weight/Comment:
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!
02/01 138.5 -- Clearly I offended the scale and it is taking it out on me. It is refusing to reflect my virtue this week.
02/02 140 -- 6 mile fast hilly walk yesterday. It was a definitely a higher carb, higher calorie day, (I was a bit frustrated, plus my son made delicious chocolate chip walnut scones!)
but still within calories. I'm just trying to stick with the program. Presumably results will start happening again at some point.

R103 SW 137 EW ?????

zrrooo · February 2020

R100 1/7/20 -1.7 kg (3.7 lbs/ 81.7 kg)
R101 1/8/20 -2.8 kg (6.2 lbs/ 78.9 kg)
R102 1/27/20 +0.5 kg (79,4 kg)

R103 goal: continue the alternate IF/Keto routine, weigh-in only Sunday and begin/end of challenge

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 79,2 kg ate a lot and was not satisfied probably because of hormones. But I stuck to keto foods, just ate over calories. which was okay, I am still in a deficit over a few days.
01/29 79,2* k 18 hrs, stuck to the routine. Was for a short while hungry after work at a late hour. It's always the same, I have too much adrenaline after work in my body (I guess) which makes me hungry until I am able to relax. Now it's sort of okay with a bit of mindfulness/ meditation.
01/30 79,2* Had two meals - that seems to be a regular when I have a non-fasting day, haha, and hormones are not interfering. All good. A ring now fits on my right hand. Before it didn't fit at all, then only on the left. Non-scale progress.
01/31 79,2*kg Fasting day, went well. was under calories.
02/01 79,2*kg Had a big ribeye steak and about 100% of calories. Unfortunately late at night I ate a snack - pork rinds - which means that my fast for tomorrow should go to 6:30 pm. Now I am feeling too full from this small snack. Stupid hormones, I wish my body would make up its mind beforehand...
02/02 79,1 kg Ah well, it's the time before TOM, that late snack yesterday night, so probably water retention. Good thing is another jeans fits again - haha, with a small muffin top by the stomach. So my body is changing for the better. Just would be nice to see it on the scales too.

02/03 79.1* kg Fasted for 18.5 hrs and was well under calories AND feeling totally full. Fasting got a bit difficult around lunchtime, so I drove to another town and went for a long walk for distraction. That worked well - and I got in slight exercise even though it was raining. Win-win.

02/04 79.1* kg
02/05 79.1* kg
02/06 kg

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~ ROUND 103
