Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 / 191.6 / Yesterday we had dinner out with friends. Glad to see my preplanning and careful eating before we left paid off. I am in a funk today even though the sun is shining. Day isn't going as planned and sometimes that's okay! I am still on track with my eating and exercise.
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.
12/04 / 192.4 / Big night of celebration out last night. We walked to the restaurant and back.. 30 mins or so each way.
12/05 / 191.8 / Setting up our Christmas tree today. Yay!
12/06 / 191.2 / Feeling good today, this weight is a new low point and I started my day with a 30 minute Intervals and Arms ride on the Peloton. Time to conquer work!

12/6 208.3 Walked 3.5 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Pasta for both lunch & dinner when I told myself I would not have any for the day. Planned to decorate the tree but worked on a beautiful wood puzzle with very cool and unusual pieces with DH instead. https://www.libertypuzzles.com/wooden-jigsaw-puzzles/grand-canyon-falls

@Lilylady3k Wow, the puzzles are beautiful!! I did not know about these. It would have been a great gift for my mother-in-law but there's a note on the website that it's too late for Christmas shipping. I'm going to get one after Christmas for her and for me! Thanks for sending the link.5 -
Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m refocused and determined to make this round count!

168 EW: 198.2
169 EW: 201.2
SW: 201.2
11/28: 199.8 Back on track and it feels so good! 51 net carbs, only off my step goal by about 200, and a Pelo ride done. Bring on the day!
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.
12/5 194.4 48 net carbs, low on steps again, but it’s all good. Had a snaccident later in the afternoon, but kept the damage to a minimum. On to today!
12/6 193.6 Way short on steps yet again, but I’m getting back to my steps and exercise starting today! 61 net carbs, and a nice loss this morning. I’ll take it!

Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
I’ve been in this group for a long time and the 10 Day thing is great for me. THANK YOU!!!!🌷
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-150
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.
12/6-167-Glad to be keeping in the 160’s. My horse is settling down and I was able to ride at the new barn and the people there are super nice, which I am so thankful for. Baked chicken breast wrapped in parchment paper and it came out super moist.

11/28 211.2 (-.4) Still coming down from Thanksgiving. Today I’m hiking with both of my sisters.
11/29 210.4 (-1.2) Wow! This is my first holiday season logging here and really staying focused. I enjoyed Thanksgiving and ate all my favorite foods then did my best to get back on track the day after. I’m only .6 over my low weight. It’s really helped to read the forums to stay encouraged. No organized exercise today.
11/30 209.0 (-2.6) Dropped my Thanksgiving bump and down .8 from my former low weight. I’m still a bit in shock that I can enjoy eating my favorite holiday foods including egg nog and pumpkin pie with lots of whip cream and drop the extra weight in less than a week if I get back on track the following day. Just one more real life example helping me build confidence that I can do this and not only reach goal weight, but maintain it once I get there.
12/1 209.4 (-2.2) Swimming was good yesterday. I still have company in town, but working to stay on plan. Today is no organized exercise. I need to drink more water today.
12/2 208.6 (-3.0) My family leaves tomorrow to head home. I’ve loved having them here. Still, it will be nice to get back to my routine. I’m finishing a big commission for a collector for Christmas and that will be done in about a week. I’m looking forward to just relaxing and making plans for the new year. My goals every year include losing weight and exercising more. I’m happy I finally made progress this year. The health goal will be to finally get to goal weight and maintain. A new challenge for a new year.
12/3 207.2 (-4.4) I’m surprised by the loss this round so far. I did gain right before the round started, with Thanksgiving, so that explains some of it. Still, I can’t believe I am less than 8 pounds away from weighing under 200 pounds! I honestly never thought it would happen. I have been getting more water the last few days.
12/4 206.4 (-5.2) Woohoo! No explanation for the big loss so far. I guess this makes up for the rounds when things move way slower than expected. I’ll have my indulgence meal today which will bump things up a little.
12/5 208.8 (-2.8) I had my indulgence meal yesterday. It was really good. Today I hiked and will be cooking my breakfasts for the week. Looking forward to getting back in my routine.
12/6 206.8 (-4.8) Yay! Today is a busy day with no scheduled exercise. I’ll get steps in and watch my calories. I can’t believe we are near the end of another round.

Round 170 (my 6th)
November 28 - December 7, 2021
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: 150.8 - Was hungry yesterday, but ate to plan. Got my workout in, albeit a little later in the day. Haven’t slept all that well the past couple of nights.
12/05: 150.8 - Getting ready for the holidays with making toffee. Luckily nothing to sample since it wasn’t set. I did taste a walnut and an almond to make sure they were still good. I wasn’t going to log it, but then changed my mind. I don’t know if it is the database or not, but each nut is showing up as 1 gram of fat. Each. Nut. Yikes. I look back to how many times I just grabbed a handful and would eat them as snacks.
12/06: 149.9 - Neighborhood cookie exchange will most likely do its damage tomorrow. Conveniently when I won’t be able to weigh in.
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: - 4.4 pounds10 -

12/2 141.3 The weather has been beautiful here in the CO Rockies, sunny (typical year-round) and in the 60's (atypical for Dec). Yesterday, my husband and I went for a hike in my favorite local park; it was wonderful. This was in addition to my (almost) daily exercises. I hope others are enjoying good weather for outdoor activities!

12/4 140.6
12/5 140.7

11/27 …..191.0….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/28 …..188.4 ….. (Trend weight 189.7) Thanksgiving dinner today for the entire family. Hoping to keep it under control but there will be pies. Glad to see a very nice drop today going into this.
11/29 …..189.8 ….. Trend weight 189.8) After Thanksgiving Feast yesterday.
11/30 …..189.2 ….. (Trend weight 189.7)
12/01 …..188.7 ….. (Trend weight 189.5)
12/02 …..188.2 ….. (Trend weight 189.4) My brother passed yesterday peacefully in his home and I am honored to have been caring for him and to be with him in the end. It was horrific, but peaceful. Thanks to all for the kind words and prayers. Lots of family coming in this week. I will post as best I can.
12/03 …..189.8 ….. (Trend weight 189.5) I don’t know how I can have the scale go up so much. I’m not overeating at all. Lots of steps and stairs and work with all the family coming in. I think it may be salty tears all welled up inside waiting to come out. They tend to come in short spurts.
12/04 …..188.8 ….. (Trend weight 189.4)
12/05 …..189.4 ….. (Trend weight 189.4) Pizza last night for all the visiting family. Not surprised by this. My brother was cremated yesterday morning. We await his ashes.
12/06 …..189.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.4) Gobbling up Little Debbie’s from my brother’s house does not make anything any better. In fact, the frostings taste like pure Crisco. I am still under starting weight (which is my goal) but I hoped to chisel myself down a bit before the Christmas festivities. I suppose it’s not too late. I really need to better watch my carbs, that is what makes all the difference, even if I don’t dive headfirst into Keto (right now), lower carbs is a must for me! Thanks again to everyone for the continued messages of kindness.
12/07 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

12/3: DNW. I'll weigh tomorrow, but probably won't have lost anything, but have gained. Was to stressed about surgery, and was kind of mindless about what I was eating. 😔
12/4: 300.8 ⬇️ (-3.8 lbs) What a surprise! 🪅 I was expecting a gain. I'm so happy that it's a loss instead. Haven't weighed in 3 days, and I wasn't really paying attention to what I was eating, that's why I thought it would be a gain. Yay!! 😄 on the loss I am so so happy! I was afraid I'd have to work hard to get the weight I had regained off. 😀💕
12/5: 297.6 ⬇️ (- 3.2 lbs) 🥳 out of the 300s, Finally!. I need to take it one day at a time. Learning not to overeat, when I get stressed/emotional about things. Also, need to be strong over the next few weeks and not allow myself to be tempted by Christmas goodies. (I know it's easier said than done). Lol 😄

28: 214.8 🥚Good start for the round. Football game this afternoon, so possibly an increase tomorrow depending on where I watch the game and who I'm with.
29: 213.8 🥚 Watched the game alone at home, so it was super easy to stay on track. Rounding out ovulation week tomorrow, so this should be my strong round before heading into the other spike of the hormonal weight gain cycle. Looking forward to seeing what I can accomplish!
30: DNW Had to be up and out the door super early this morning. Went out to eat last night with a couple friends. Managed to stay within my calories, carbs, and IF window. Feel a little bloated today. Guessing it's from the grilled jumbo shrimp, but only because I can't think of any other possible culprit.

4: I'm really struggling. I've been off my fairly new, but effective, routine for a few days because of my coordinator role for a school fundraiser. Pretty sure I've also missed a couple of my med doses. Haven't been tracking food or exercising. Not quite sticking to my IF schedule. Most likely gaining weight. The fundraiser event was today, so I'm hoping I can muster enough energy to get back on track tonight or tomorrow morning. Feeling like I'm having hormone induced emotional sensitivity, but it's several days early for that.
5: Stuck to IF schedule and tracked food. Stayed within calories and macros.
6: 216.9 At this point, I'll be happy to get back to where I ended the last round. 216.3. Depression is a, well, you know. Got med situation straightened out yesterday. Getting back into my routine today.

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.

@PrimalJillian - so sorry to hear that you are suffering, hope the meds situation will help your depression. I am lucky that it was only my weight which caused mine and when after over 50 years of finally deciding that I was going to lose the excess pounds for good that as I lost weight the depression slowly subsided.
Hope you start to feel better soon and that you feel more comfortable and more at peace with yourself xx.4 -

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.

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.

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.
Previous Days11/28 151.2 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
12/4 151.2 workday 3/3. I’m so grateful for my husband who makes whatever recipes I leave for him so that o have good lunches and dinners on my very long days! We have a good leftover lunch/ new dinner cycle going. Roasted carrot and potatoes with lentils and a miso parsley sauce. Protein: 122
12/5 149.4 Did a power snatch, thruster, rowing workout to get the heart rate up. Started a new cycle on my strength program that kicked it off with a ton of my favorite … Bulgarian split squats 🤪 My mom’s birthday was today and we had a family meal. I didn’t attempt to track it. I declined leftover cake though.
12/6 148.1 Ran around all day buying more Christmas decorations. Did a rowing, kettlebell, box jump workout for some cardio. Push day for strength. It’s always nice to switch over to a new lifting cycle. They normally last 6-8 weeks. Dinner was a stuffed bell pepper soup with seitan. Back to work tomorrow. Protein: 142

Round 170 (102nd for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There is only 27 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 4 pounds for then, that is only 4.5 weeks, a pound a week or 1.4 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and keeping going. Still feeling better about the dress I want to wear next weekend for Peaky Blinders dance night. I need to remain binge free, but at the end of the day – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers keep yo-yoing in England – we reached “freedom day” months ago, but there is still a pandemic, and now a new variant: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
11/28 135.2 – only managed 3.56 miles yesterday, Storm Arwen stopped me ! Snow, sleet, high winds which were icy cold – bbrrrrr, hence day was over on calories & carbs & weight!
11/29 133.8 – pleasantly surprised by this number after a high carb low mileage weekend, but will take it! Again wintery weather was against me yesterday, only 4.25 miles walked, hence 25 calories & 88 carbs over.
11/30 133.8 – pleased this number stayed around, 9.5 miles walked yesterday & a good food day, calories well under, carbs 17 over.
12/1 133.8 – 9.11 miles walked yesterday followed by the rest of the day painting in my sisters house, 2 coats of 50/50 paint/water on the fresh plaster on all walls and ceiling in her lounge. Good camaraderie with my sisters whilst we work. Not too a bad food day, she did provide us with a slice of homemade lemon drizzle cake after our jacket potato with chilli, but you know what, it wasn't worth the extra calories!!
12/2 133.8 – 8.86 miles walked yesterday, calories under but 44 carbs over.
12/3 133.4 - 125 & 94 calories & carbs over respectively. A day travelling up to care for my toddler DGS, took him to an animal farm with a soft play area, but no structured walking.
12/4 133 – 10.47 miles walked yesterday, good food day, Tried on my peaky blinders dress last night & also dresses that I plan on wearing for the Christmas & New Year dances. I was very pleasantly surprised with how they all fit and look, my exercise regime; walking and toning & stretching exercises and sticking to the food plan are all worthwhile!!
12/5 133.6 – bit disappointed with this, but hoping just normal fluctuation. 9.59 miles walked yesterday. Felt really good in my dress last night, a brilliant night we only sat out a few of the numbers, stayed AF, within calories, carbs 34 over (pizza).
12/6 133 -7.44 miles walked yesterday, good food day, calories well under, but carbs 45 over.
12/7 133 – 10.8 miles walked yesterday and another day under calories and all macros. Yes!! goals for this round met; 1.4 pounds lost since end of last round, no binges and toned enough to feel really good in my “Peaky Blinders” dress at the weekend.
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE . Keep calm – Covid is still out there take care, we're still in this together!

**************************************
11/28 143.0 (trend 142.7) Not really surprised to see this gain, yesterday was crazy, flying to Portugal and back in one day. We managed to squeeze in a lovely meal and a little walk around the town to see the lights and the monastery.
11/29 142.2 (trend 142.6) Glad to see this coming back down despite indulging in some treats yesterday, I got caught up in seasonal spirit at a cosy pub with a log fire. It was snowing outside and they were selling Christmas trees, we had soup and a few beers, proper hygge vibes!
Then pizza back at home and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on the box. I'm not usually all that interested in Christmas, hubby being a Hindu and my daughter is usually with her dad, but this year feels different, we're all ready to get really into it!
11/30 143.0 (trend 142.7) Had a really lazy day yesterday and didn't drink enough water, plus I was snacky so I'm not that surprised to be up again. Must tighten things up for the next few weeks to get back on track.
12/01 143.0 (trend 142.7) Much more active day, food ok but still not enough water. Spent the day ripping up floorboards so feeling quite achy. Went for a beer in a pub built in 1610, sat by the fire and listened to the landlord's ghost stories, then a walk round the town to see the lights.
Still retaining water I think, totm is coming up so it'll take a while to shift it.
12/02 141.0 (trend 142.5) Really physically demanding day yesterday and was too busy to eat much. Crashed on the sofa in the evening and binged a bit on raisins and peanut butter but I think I needed it. Totm started today, need to avoid the cravings. Nearly finished the kitchen floor and then I can start fitting the cabinets, woot!
12/03 141.8 (trend 142.4)
12/04 142.2 (trend 142.4)
12/05 141.0 (trend 142.2) Haven't updated for a few days, sorry! Need to catch up with everyone's posts. Not been making the best food choices, barely eating in the day and then eating more than I usually would in the evening. I suppose it's OMAD-lite? It might help me maintain short term for December while there's so much temptation about then back to healthy small meals in January. I'll see how it goes.
12/06 141.4 (trend 142.1) Food not too bad, though I did indulge in some homemade chicken tikka which I hadn't planned for. Spent the day taking several car loads of stuff to the dump, so lots of running up and down ramps. Glad trend weight is still moving down even though scale weight is very bouncy. Not gonna make my goals this round but then I haven't really been trying.
12/07 140.6 (trend 141.9) Happy with this considering my lack of proper tracking and weighing this round. Didn't eat much yesterday as no appetite but someone brought a bottle of Baileys into the house and that has been a bit fatal for me! Need to keep reminding myself that it's still 2.5 weeks until Christmas when I'll get to eat, drink and be merry and how much better everything will taste if I don't indulge all the way up to it! This was round 10 for me, here's to the next 10!
