Day/Weight/Comment

11/28 - 180.8, Ave 180.5
Yesterday was still a challenge — still too many yummy leftovers — but they’re gone now. Back to the plan!

11/29 - 181, Ave 180.7
Boing boing. But it’s ok, just normal post-pig out bouncing. I’ve got half my office painted but have to paint in short spurts because of other things. I’ll be glad when it’s finished, and happily I love the dark green coziness of the color! Off now for a walk with Rory. He turned 5 months yesterday and is in full adolescent goofiness. Here’s a pic I took yesterday.

11/30 - 180.6, Ave 180.7
A little better. Now to keep going this direction!

12/01 - 180.8, Ave 180.8
It’s all on me—I had some chocolate fudge truffle ice cream last night, and dinner was a bit salty. I did spent 90 minutes walking/running/standing/moving equipment at doggy school, though, so I did get some exercise. Today I’m determined to get some more of my office painted—nothing scheduled except a puppy play date with a friend’s Golden, and she’s coming here. Otherwise, paint is me!

12/02 - 180.4, Ave 180.7
Slowly, slowly. Not unexpected since my calories average is still above maintenance, but I behaved myself yesterday and everything will level back out. All good!

12/03 - 180.4, Ave 180.7
Okie dokie.

airbeat · December 2021

I'm back again. Finally had it with this overweight conditon, low energy, painful knees and all the health problems associated with it. Here's to another run for a healthier lifestyle. I'm no youngster and in my 70's now so time is catching up with me. I want to be active again as I used to be. Dropping this weight is a good start.

Female, 5’7”
HW: 181 pounds (Dec 30, 2019)
RSW: 154.3 pounds (Date, EO Round 169)
RGW: 152.3 pounds (- 2.0 pounds)

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28: 154.3 - I think I missed a day somewhere on the last round, but I can’t figure out where. Anyways, today’s scale reading is not surprising but disappointed in myself for portion control over the holiday weekend and the lack of higher intensity cardio workouts.
11/29: 152.8 - Back to where I was before Thanksgiving
11/30: 152.8 - Good workout and good eating yesterday, Still finishing up high calorie leftovers from our Friendsgiving, but made it work within plan.
12/01: 152.3 - Met round goal but I had a blip up right before the start of the round. Hoping to keep pushing downward before travel and other events.
12/02: 151.0 - Magical whoosh? Did my usual exercise and ate within calories.
12/03: 149.5 - Whoa! I had a lot of tension yesterday and not much appetite until dinner. Got my workout in. I suspect this won’t hold as life returns to normal today.
12/04: -
12/05: -
12/06: -
12/07: - DNW - traveling (not sure if there is a scale where we are going)

Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: - 4.8 pounds

@AR10at50 When I saw it’s only a mile to the horse’s new location I thought “oh, that could be a nice walk” but then you said “run.” Do you really 🏃🏼‍♀️ run? In any case, enjoy!

quiltingjaine · December 2021

I have a question for those who track calories. Have you ever looked at your macros (protein, *TOTAL* carbs, fat) and compared your scale bounces to those? I’ve said many times that it takes 2-3 days for the variations to show on my scale.

*The reason I say TOTAL is that the concept of NET carbs is a relatively new thing. Some people, like myself, react to those insoluble/whatever carbs.

Just curious.

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.

People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

11/29 / 192.4 / Today was a loooonng day at work! I didn't move for about 10 hours. Oops!
11/30 / 192.2 / Hoping for a better work day today. The weather here is so amazing.. want to get out for my lunchtime walk. It's a great way to split up the day!
12/01 / 192.8 / Snowy day here but I've gotten out for two short walks. Still having a crazy busy week at work. Dinner out tonight with coworkers to celebrate my 15 year anniversary with the company.
12/02 / 192 / Celebratory dinner was nice last night. Got home and watched a movie with my husband versus riding on the Peloton so hoping to get a ride in today. Busy week all around.
12/03 / 192.8 / We volunteered after work yesterday and this morning I got up and PR'd my 45 minute Peloton time. We are off to Canmore to the B&B that we got married at for a night away tonight.

@deepwoodslady Donna - I am so sorry for the passing of your brother. I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose a sibling. I'm glad you were able to be with him.

May 10, 2021: 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever.

Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!

Next short-term goal:
166....165....164....163....162....161....160...159.X

11/28 - 166.9

180's; 170's; 160's; 150's; 140's; 130's

If I quit now, I'll soon be back where I started. And when I started, I so desperately wanted to be where I am now!
There is no going back! NOT THIS TIME!

Hi all, 😁 this will be my third round.
I have lost 10 pounds so far from highest from previous rounds.

SW: 172.6
GW this round: 169
UGW: 130

Day/Weight/Comment

11/28/ 172.6/ dropped quite a bit from yesterday, recalculated my SW from 174.2, had lots of tea this morning, green, spiced and camomile, two wee mini burgers for lunch total cals 160. Feeling positive I can reach goal, once this round is over, if I stay on track, I'll have lost a full stone. A quarter of the way to my UGW.
11/29/ 171.8/ so close to my first benchmark, will try hard this week, plan to go swimming 😀
11/30/ 170.5/ didn't expect the drop, this is good, lots of herbal teas and moderate exersise, played pool for an hour last night. Had pie for dinner. Good news, getting there.
12/1/ 170.4/ kept within my calories for day yesterday, although I had a takeaway, its important for me to exersise more so going to horse riding tomorrow. Had a hot bath last night which is good for weight loss. Missed breakfast today as it was my day off and I slept in, so hoping the sleep burnt some extra cals through the night..I usually try for a 12 hour sleep on days I can, I sleep like a log. My pedometer arrived, so my steps where very low yesterday, it reset so I lost some data, but hoping to see what walking to shop counts as. Plan to just have a hotdog for dinner, should be enough, and tasty. Hope everyone else is keeping well, and reaching their goals 😊 gotta keep that mojo!
12/2/ 170.6/ went to country park for walk in morning, and also horse riding this afternoon, plenty of exercise is what I needed. Havnt ate much but my monthly is due so I'll prob make up for it next few days, I'll try my best 😊 also it's the weekend coming up, so will try not to snack. Had veges for dinner there, and will just drink herbal tea tonight.
12/3/ 170.6/ 😮 oh exactly same weight as yesterday, was stuck in car today for hours, few stop offs to get food, and when I came home had a blow out on crisps and three budweiser to relax since its been a while and it's the weekend. Will see in next few days if I can reach my target. Have four days to lose one and half pounds. Bad habits need to stop, my target was 1200cals, about 1700 atm and about go go to bed. So will try better tomorrow.

Hello everyone, Sorry I missed checking in the past 2 days. I had cataract surgery on my left eye, so I took the rest of the day off and just rested because I had a headache and couldn't see tablet screen.

Today, saw my regular eye Dr, After checking my eye for reading glass, Dr said to go to dollar store and buy a cheap pair of glasses, until all the swelling goes down. Because I may or may not need reading glasses after all the swelling goes down. He said to wait and see, instead of spending a lot of money on a pair I'll probably only need for a short time. The cheap eyeglasses help me to be able to see the tablet screen. So Happy that I can see more clearly of things around me, instead of all blurry and foggy. Hopefully, I may not have to wear glasses anymore except to reading glasses. 😅😄

Starting 12/20/21, I'll be starting water physical therapy, don't know at this time how often per week I'll be going, until the first visit. Have some problems with mobility that is why I'm starting water physical therapy. My primary Dr says it will help me more, than using regular physical therapy. ( Which I have already tried and it didn't help much).

Things are starting to become more clearer and better then before. Lol 😄

Nahlei · December 2021

I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass. My strength programming is 6x/week and I’m considering doing doubles twice a week since it’s so hard to fit in a workout when I leave for work at 6am and get home around 8pm 3x a week.

My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6

Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, avoid added sugars, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), add one day of double strength training per week.

11/28 151.2 surprisingly stayed the same weight after the Thanksgiving feast yesterday. Cardio for the day 20 minutes of single arm devils press, overhead walking lunges, and box jumps. Reload week on my strength training programming, but still lots of Bulgarian split squats today (the worst move ever). Meal planned and bought groceries for the week. Dinner was sautéed mushrooms and riced broccoli with a balsamic reduction and baked tofu. Protein: 135g

11/29 150.2 woke up with a bit of a head cold, but the weather was lovely! I took a walk, did some a farmers carry step up and rowing workout for some cardio and then a press day for strength. I intended to do double strength today, but felt pretty sickly. Dinner was a bok choy, mushroom, soba stir fry with baked tofu. Protein: 143g

11/30 151.2 still have a cold, but it’s a minor annoyance and not a miserable bug.. Plus it’s during a stretch of 5 days off. Took a walk, did 20 minutes of KB swings, push-ups, wallballs, jump rope, lunges for cardio and then a light pull day. Dinner was spaghetti squash, mushroom, kale, leeks and seitan. Protein: 141

12/1 152.1 cold still lingering but improving. Another day in the 70’s (isn’t it December??), so I’ll take a nice walk. I’ve been double checking my recipes for accuracy since the scale hasn’t been moving but can’t find any discrepancies and I weigh everything to grams 🤷‍♀️ Rowing, DB snatch, sit-ups for cardio and light leg day for strength. Lunch will be leftovers as always, dinner is roasted cauliflower and chickpeas with a herbed tahini sauce and baked tofu. Protein: 131

12/2 151.8 workday 1/3. Thought the head cold was improving but I had awful sleep and today was rough! Last night’s dinner for lunch. Broccoli edamame fried brown rice and seitan for dinner. Protein: 118

12/3 151.4 workday 2/3. Leftovers for lunch. Roasted eggplant and chickpea pitas with seitan for dinner. Protein: 126

Round 170

Please join us! Starting on 11/18 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 169
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Goals
- check in at least every other day
- Low carb

11/29:
I’ll be completing day 1 of the 30 day shred today. So this week will be focussing on completing the first 10 day, no alcohol and not eating without being mindful.
Completed day one

11/30:long day at work so done walking, sit down exercises
12/01: 156.6
So because I’m doing long day today and doing the 30 day shred m, I’m having to adapt it so that I do them on my day off. Wednesday day 2, Sunday day 3 and next week I’m working from home so can complete the days as usual. Just means first 10 days of 30 day shred will be longer

12/02: 156.0 day 2 of 30 day shred. I feel like rubbish, had my booster jab yesterday.
12/03
12/04:157. Plan today is to do some walking and remember that weight fluctuates 🤗

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
11/28 209.5 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing, not tracking food. Chips, pie, and drinks are damaging any success I’m making with good choices at meal time. Burned my hand which was not a good excuse to drink bourbon but I soothed it with Aloe on the hand and a few drinks instead of pain meds. TODAY is a good day to start fresh.
11/29 209.3 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 2.5 + .5 miles, fishing, 1404 cal, 123 net carbs, AF.
11/30 209.4 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked 3.6 miles, fishing 1437 cal, 103 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes.
12/1 210.1 @ fishing camp 🎣 Walked .5 + .5 miles, Strength Training class 1 hr, 2619 cal, 134 net carbs, 2 bourbon & diet cokes. Okay 2 slices of pecan pie did not bode well for weight loss.
12/2 209.8 Walked 3 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, 2171 cal, 205 net carbs, AF.
12/3 207.7 Walked 2.7 + 1.3 miles, 1797 cal, 202 net carbs, 3 glasses wine.

May 10, 2021: 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever.

Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!

Next short-term goal:
166....165....164....163....162....161....160...159.X

11/28 - 166.9
11/29 - 165.7
12/03 - 164.6 Feeling so much better now that I'm off sugar again! Cravings have subsided too.

12/04 - 163.6 - Yay, heading down. It's crazy how I start doubting myself and lose confidence after going on a binge and gaining weight back, even if it's only 3 or 4 pounds. It's mental and physical. Feeling much stronger today and feel like "I got this" again. I'm going to learn from my pre-Thanksgiving debacle and not let my mind play games with knowing a day of eating is coming so just start eating weeks before. Also, get right back on it the day after a holiday, not 2 days after, the very next day! That's a must for me mentally. I'm going to plan to walk by the ocean on Christmas day also. That's where I'm heading now - bundling up because it's cold - brrrr! Enjoy your Saturday everyone!

11/29 198.0 39 net carbs. Started coming down with something yesterday, so I was resting as much as I could and came nowhere near my step goal.

11/30 195.4 Woke up sick, so yesterday was a matter of survival. My carbs were higher than usual, and my steps virtually nonexistent.

12/1 195.6 Another day of not feeling well, but better than the day before. I ate closer to normal yesterday, so the tiny uptick is no surprise. 64 net carbs, but again, nowhere near my step goal. I’ll be back at it soon though!

12/2 196.0 Had a close to normal eating day yesterday, so not surprised to see the number up a little today. I’m slowly recovering from this bug. 55 net carbs, but fell short on steps. Recovery is the name of my game this week.

12/3 195.0 97 net carbs yesterday because of a strong craving for Stromboli. Fell just a little short on steps, but I am recovering some more from this flu or whatever it was that I’ve had all week.

12/4 194.6 61 net carbs. Low on steps, but still not feeling 100% yet, so I’m ok with it.

11/30-170- I am 2 lbs. away from my Pre-Thanksgiving (and ALL of the left overs) weight.
12/1-168-Whew, finally. I’ve been eating my meaty turkey soup, had ham and creamed spinach for breakfast, just no bread or pie. Moving my horse to a new stable today.
12/3-167-I got my horse moved to less than a mile down the road, which is good. I used to have a 45 minute round trip and used to snack the whole way coming and going.😬 This is nice because I can run home, have a healthy lunch and go back.

12/4-166-My horse seems to like his new place and the people there are really nice. Today they are having a barrel race fundraiser that will be fun to watch.

I have a question for those who track calories. Have you ever looked at your macros (protein, *TOTAL* carbs, fat) and compared your scale bounces to those? I’ve said many times that it takes 2-3 days for the variations to show on my scale.

*The reason I say TOTAL is that the concept of NET carbs is a relatively new thing. Some people, like myself, react to those insoluble/whatever carbs.

Just curious.

@quiltingjaine A few years ago I made a graph tracking calories, protein, total carbs, added sugar, total fat, and saturated fat. I’ve also experimented with lower carbs and lower fat. The only things that led to weight loss for me were lower calories and lower added sugar. Way back when I did WW, I plateaued for months on the low-fat approach. When I added fats (mainly cheese, avocado, and olive oil) back in, I started losing again.
