02/27 258.8 I was so sick yesterday I barely got out of bed, so this must be water retention from the chicken soup and crackers. Between the fall and getting sick it looks like Feb will be a wash. That’s okay though life happens, and I know all of this is water bounce up that will go once I’m eating properly again.

02/28 260.0 I ate low yesterday, so I guess this is from the day before or more water retention. I felt a lot better yesterday and over did things a bit so I’m going to try to take things easier today.

02/29 260.4
03/01 260.0

03/02 262.2 I continued to eat at maintenance for the weekend. I figured that since I’m cutting out my diet break from the first week of April it seemed like a good trade. Now it’s time to refocus and get back to where I was and then lower.

Round 106, 23rd Round for Me

39, male, 5'8
Highest weight: 386.6 lbs (1/1/2019)
R106 start weight: 275.4 lbs (2/26/2020)
R106 goal weight: 273.4 lbs
Long term goal weight: 186.6 lbs

R106 weight change: -0.4 lbs
Total weight loss: 111.6 lbs

Day/Weight/Comment

Thursday, 02/27: 275.1 lbs (-0.3) … starting a round without a sizable uptick for once is a nice feeling. | Running: 10mins x 2 | Lifting |

Friday, 02/28: 274.9 lbs (-0.2) … I was fully expecting an uptick this morning. I was about 500 calories over budget and I ate quite a bit more food volume-wise than usual… but my trip to the gym yesterday seems to have countered that. That’s a good feeling. I’m going to try to recommit to going to the gym and running now. I’ve been slacking off for a while.

Saturday, 02/29: 276.2 lbs (+1.3) … Ran for 20 minutes on the treadmill today without much trouble. I decided that I’m going to go through the C25k program again, starting from W5D3, which is the first time you run for 20 minutes straight. Felt appropriate and having that structure should help me stick with my training. | Running: C25k W5D3 | Lifting: SS Workout A |

Sunday, 03/01: 276.1 lbs (-0.1) … Dating/relationship anniversary with my wife. We’ll have been together 18 years.

Monday, 03/02: 277.5 lbs (+1.4) … up again. I’ve been below budget, but made some salty/carby choices over the weekend. I’ve also recently started working out more so I’m guessing I have some water retention from that as well. Nothing I’m concerned about. Signed up for a 5k race on 4/25 and a 3.5 mile race in May. Also signed up for a step challenge at work that starts in a couple weeks, which should get me moving even more. | Running: C25k W6D1 | Lifting: SS Workout B |

Tuesday, 03/03: 275.0 lbs (-2.5) … nice whoosh this morning. My workout last night took a while and I was pretty beat afterward. Looking to be a beautiful day today outside… I’m going to enjoy my lunchtime walk this afternoon. In fact, the weather going forward seems to finally be getting warmer. I’m super excited about being able to run outside again… maybe tomorrow?

Round 105- SW 159, EW 158 -1

02/27- 157.2 sigh. I'm only just back to where I finished at 2 rounds ago. I got a new digital scale so I'll see if it fluctuates like my old one. I'm not going to super obsess about it, because I don't have that much left to reach goal.
02/28- 156.4 Happy about this. Did 30 min of HIIT in the AM and walked 2 miles. Will try to be good on the weekend, but have drinks tonight.
02/29- 156.7- Rode Frosty since the ground was frozen.
03/01- 157.4- Ran 3.5 miles with Frosty since the gound was too wet to ride and walked another 2
03/02- 157.0- well that's not awful for a weekend. I'm always super active, but then I don't really track and eat a bunch of crap. It doesn't help I was ghosted yet again and I'm an emotional eater.
03/03- 158.0 WTH.. I guess that's the weekend. I stayed under calories yesterday, but ate a ton of cabbage soup. Maybe water weight, who knows. Just staying the course. Ran 2.5 miles yesterday with Frosty.

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.

02/29 119.5 First time I’ve seen this number since pre-cruise weigh in in early December. Tomorrow Champagne brunch with dear friends.
03/01 120.5 Expected increase, I ate a tortilla and had a margarita at OMAD yesterday - steak fajitas, no beans or rice, subbed calabacitas and picked out 3 million pieces of corn. I hardly ate anything but this is what even “low” carbs do to me. I was definitely over my 20g carb limit. Probably will be today also but I won’t eat anything after brunch.
03/02 120.5. Life is good. Gym with Amy this afternoon.
03/03 120.5

3/3 156.9 O miles I took a couple of weeks off posting to this challenge. I weighed most days but just bounced around 160 to 162. It was just 10 weeks of basically the same weight no matter my calories or workout schedule. I felt like a loser so I skipped out on you guys. I still tracked but didn't do the challenge. I still walked whenever possible and tried to stay within my goal. I'm not sure why but I seem to have broken through that barrier. I even had Vietnamese yesterday and didn't retain any water. WOOHOO! Hi everyone, I hope all is well. I'm going to get caught up on your stories.

@kecward78 Just got a chance to read this article. Very interesting. I'm going to look thru the other articles on the site as well. We can never be reminded enough that it's perfectly normal to go up or stay the same weight for days/weeks and not to give up - it will eventually go down again! Thanks for sending this out! Congratulations on your weight loss thus far!!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/26 …..195.5….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/27 …..195.5 ….. Good day yesterday but too busy today. Good luck everyone this round!

02/28 …..195.8 ….. I had dinner at DD#2 last night and some glorious time with my DGS #4. She tries to keep it a bit more carb and calorie conscious for me which is very thoughtful. Not as on plan as at home but not too bad. I am unsure of exact calories & carbs, info too sketchy when I’m not sure of exact recipe, but overall didn’t seem too bad. I walked with my son at school during conferences since school was open. A little slower as he is not used to it, about 3.0 mph but I was proud of him. My total calorie burn for 110 minutes was 597. I walked 18,119 steps for the day, 7.67 Total Miles, burned 2839 Total Calories. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 5 hours & 47 minutes and only woke up once! An average day overall.

02/29 …..198.6 ….. I really blew it when out with a friend. Got in my walk but I ate back 80% of the calories and the carbs were through the roof. And I only ate ½ my dinner and brought the other half home for my son! I deserve every bit of this. My walk was 93 minutes. Feeling weak and unprepared. Uggg.

03/01 …..199.8 ….. Absolutely no excuses except for the fact that if I am not 100% perfect and on target with every single morsel on this low-carb plan, I gain. However, it does seem to be what is best for my T2D. I just get tired of the continuous "failures" at every turn of everyday life. I'm going to keep fighting.

03/02 …..201.6 ….. Emergency Unexpected Travel yesterday for me & my son. I arrived back last night. Diet plan & exercise out the window. I am only grateful that my scale number isn’t worse. However, I don’t like being back in the 200 club that I worked so hard to graduate from. I’ll be very mindful today.

03/03 201.6 ….. A very good day yesterday in walking and food until I ate the large bowl of cereal last night. I haven’t had a bowl of cereal in 2 years and I have to say, it was good. The cravings are horrendous after a lapse so I am trying hard to get through that. It had very little to do with hunger. We still have a ton of snow here so no outside activity. I sure wish there was a gym nearby but it’s Amish country here. Just farms and cabins. Thank goodness the school lets us old folks walk the hallways in the evenings! Last year we had snow through May. The largest blizzard being 10 inches of snow. In fact, it has been snowy until June for many years now. However, I am still hoping for a normal spring (by Easter) that lasts. I am sleeping again in the 4 hour range for the past few days. This is the norm for me but keeps me at a 20 hour waking window of eating. I am using IF for at least 12:12 right now but it's still a very long day without food. I continue to try careful planning. Last night after walking I did some more prep cooking.

"The cravings are horrendous after a lapse so I am trying hard to get through that. It had very little to do with hunger."

@deepwoodslady I feel for you with the cravings! This is the hardest part when you've had a lapse. I've been dealing with this for a week too when I decided to drink 1/2 gallon of chocolate milk and from there I went crazy. Getting 3 or 4 days in control of it is needed but getting those 3 or 4 days behind you is so hard. Everyone is different so not sure if what I'm doing would help you at all but I've been taking advantage of the mornings when I can control my cravings the most. I mainly eat in the afternoons when my cravings are the worse so I'm full even though as you said, hunger doesn't always have anything to do with it, but it does help me. I'm not sure if you have this luxury to try to lie down when they are really bad, but I find that when I just can't control them, I try to take a nap. If I'm able to fall asleep for 30 mins, I wake up feeling more in control which of course shows how much of this is sleep deprivation. Lastly, even though fruit can throw you off too, I've been eating frozen blue berries, cherries, raspberries and peaches either as a smoothly with milk or just plain. That seems to satisfy my cravings a little. I'm sure you've tried everything over time with results, so it's not about knowing what to do it's being able to get past the days after lapsing. Good luck - you'll get there! I'm on my 3rd day today without sugar/white flour and feeling stronger.

02/27 - 164.8
02/28 – 164.6
02/29 – 165 – Totally deserve this after a chocolate fest last night. Last couple of days have been great for getting things done but probably eating at maintenance so not sure how quickly I’ll get it down.
03/01 - 165
03/02 – 164.8- Completed tracking and stuck to IF.
03/03 – 164.8 – Decided to allow myself an apple after a very long practice last night but didn’t eat anything else. Completed tracking and right on target.

@kecward78 @fmfdfa2020 this article is probably exactly what I'm going through now! Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I have been the same weight for months while doing all the good things. My body seems to be holding on to this weight but I'm losing some inches too. We'll see how it goes the next couple of months!

TerriRichardson112 · March 2020

General goal is to maintain below 150, and trend slowly downward to 145.
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!
Back Story:

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!
