Day/Weight/Comment
12/12 - 189. Overall a good day. Back on track with IF (16:8) and starting to feel better again.
12/13-188. IF:D3. Didn’t work out but got a decent number of steps in (all that running around Costco). Decent eating and water intake. Poor sleep and really dragging today.
12/14- Did not step on the scale this am. IF:D4. Trying to stop eating between 7-8pm and fasting for 16 hrs. Feeling much better after only 3 days. Need to get to bed earlier and not fall asleep on the couch every night and then go up to bed after midnight. My wife and son are both night hawks. They will both be off for two weeks over christmas so I won't feel bad going to bed earlier.

At first, I thought it was flu, because of weakness. BUT. I get only one type of flu, H3N2, its always in late Spring and I get it every 13-14 years. Flu vaccine does nothing against this strain. Strange but true. I should have come down with it in 2009, but didn't surprisingly, so I'm due very soon. A Covid test was negative, but specific symptoms tell me it was covid. Weakness, fatigue, smell and taste of everything was like a chemical, even water. Also a VERY strange and disgusting super white tongue, not a coated tongue. It could not be brushed away. I still don't have a proper appetite. I just have to eat something. Can't eat peanut butter and butter has that underlying chemical smell/taste. Most foods right now, I don't want. My son kept me going for about a week with fast food. Except for salad, it all tasted off, but I need to build my strength. I cooked dinner 2 days ago! That wore me out.I've been trying to figure out when I was exposed. I'm pretty sure it was Nov 17 when I took my sister to the Motor Vehicle Administration for a new ID card. All the the customers were wearing masks, most of the employees were not. She's been sick also.

12/08 - 180.4, Ave 180.9
Okay, back on track and determined to get out of the 80s for good this round, holidays or no! I’m still working on my office (have a rug in mind for to open space and I’m looking for a small cabinet) but here’s the new color. I love the change in the feel of the room.
12/09 - 180.4, Ave 180.8
Ugh, I ate too much yesterday. I can’t seem to stifle myself. But I’m off in a few minutes for a dog walk with a friend and she’s usually up for a nice long one. Gotta bundle up!
12/10 - 181.2, Ave 181.2
Time lag, because my calories yesterday were fine. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow….
12/11 - 181.2, Ave 181.2
Steady as she goes. I had planned a nice walk but the temp is dropping fast (20 degrees in two hours!) and wind is 30-40 mph, so I don’t think so. Maybe I should paint another room for exercise? 😁
12/12 - 180.8, Ave 181.1
My birthday is in 10 days and I’m determined to be below 180 by then! Off for a walk with the pup—it’s chilly, but no wind, a relief after the past two days. Enjoy your Sunday, all!
12/12 - 180.8, Ave 181.1
That’s weird—second time in a coupla rounds that I’ve had the same weight & running average two days in a row. What does it mean??? Have I entered the Twilight Zone? 😁 Anyway….off to get my hair cut and then run some errands, including getting a blender. We haven’t had one in ages, since the ancient one gave up the ghost, but I’ve been hankering for low-cal healthy smoothies to satisfy my sweet tooth and also take collagen daily instead of every two weeks when I remember it. My skin & hair are SO much better with collagen. Have a happy Monday, all!
12/14 - 180.6, Ave 180.9
I’m still eating too much, but a bit less. I don’t know why I’m so ravenous these days. But little by little….
12/15 - 180.8, Ave 181
Dog club party tonight but I’ll try to behave.

@tiabirdie56 Tish, I’m so sorry you have been so sick. Perhaps a new flu that they don’t know about? My DDs both are still without taste and smell after a year plus and almost a year. Sending prayers for you and your sister!3

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.

12/8 117.5 Chocolate Tres Leches Cake - MEH. Friend brought it from Texas because she thinks it wonderful.
12/9 118.0 Edited yesterday’s post. Appointments with the retina specialist today. The pinched nerve and arthritis in my neck has been bothering me for several days. Not an excuse, just a diary entry because I save all of my posts.
12/10 117.0 Community Arts and Crafts luncheon today. Brown bag lunch and shared desserts. I’m making my always popular high carb brownies. They smell sooo good!
12/11 119.0 Holiday party #1 under my belt and the 2nd and last coming this afternoon. It l’s all good. Breakfast Bingo this morning with “continental breakfast.” We all know that means loads of carbs. They should have some berries that I’ll eat and I’m taking my own low carb yogurt.
12/12 121.5 Pre-Christmas gathering #2 of 2. Glad those are over. Back with the program. It’s all good.
12/13 120.5 AF Half of a large Greek salad with steak skewer, no pita, yesterday. Finished the apple I got last week. Ate half apple with 2T peanuts only peanut butter (Smucker’s Natural.) My GKI went from 19 on Saturday (not good) to 42(horrid!) Reminder that even natural sugar is SUGAR! My GKI has been under 10 and was 3.2 a week ago.
12/14 120.5 GKI 11.9 AF, back to LCHF yesterday so this should be improving

Let’s rock and roll! Back in September, I had set a goal to see 199 by New Year’s Day. These short 10 day challenges have really kept me motivated, and got me to that goal more than a month early. So maybe, just maybe…. I can see 190 by New Year’s Day?! I’m surely going to try!

170 EW: 193.4
Goals this round: 10,000 steps daily, <100 net carbs daily, Pelo ride 2-3x week, strength training 2-3x week
SW: 193.4
12/8: 193.4 63 net carbs yesterday and Pelo ride done. Fell short on steps, but it is what it is. Seems the monthly stall has arrived, so this round will likely not bring much loss. I’m okay with that.
12/9: 194.6 94 net carbs, and a little short on steps. Monthly stall is in full effect.
12/10 194.6 Holding steady, which is good during this stall cycle! 60 net carbs, but I’ve been failing fairly miserably at my step goal. I’m granting myself some grace here though. The holiday season has had me pretty dang busy.
12/11 194.6 yet again. 62 net carbs, but more sodium than usual. I’m surprised I didn’t gain considering how much time I spent on my feet yesterday. Still fell short of my step goal again. It is what it is. I know myself well enough to know at some point, I will get back to hitting my step goal.
12/12 195.4 Managed 73 net carbs yesterday. Spent awhile in the kitchen on my feet baking Christmas cookies. By the end of the day, I could tell I was low on protein for the day. I wound up having a meat and cheese snack because I was absolutely starving! I gotta pay better attention to the protein! This week I’ve felt so off kilter. I’m glad for a new week, and feeling like Sunday is a fresh new start.
12/13 195.6 65 net carbs and a Pelo ride done.
12/14 195.2 Finally hit my step goal again for once! 31 net carbs and a pretty good day all around. Back on the downward trend I think!
12/15 194.8 Honestly I’m surprised. Yesterday was a strange day. First, I spent nearly the entire day baking- one of my favorite things to do, but I always seems to get swollen calves after too long on my feet. Second, I barely got any sleep. Stayed up way too late baking, then had to take my husband to the airport at 3am. I slept a little when I got back, but not nearly enough. And step goal? Hahaha! Today is a much more mellow day, so it’s all good! 88 net carbs yesterday.

Hi all! 😃 this will be my fourth round, I have lost 1 stone so far. 5 ft 4, 30years old, female, UK.

UGW: 130
Day/Weight/Comment
12/8/ 168 2 / went for a long drive, stopped for a chibbata, settling down now for a few hours then exersise bike for 15 min later. Glad I made it to a stone loss feel good about myself, I'm not there yet, but I'm still trying. We'll see how this goes, lets do this! 😊
12/9/ 168.8/ went horse riding today for an hour, ate very little till now, having soup and wheaten for light dinner, lots of herbal tea, got three and half pounds to lose this round so going to have to exersise more. Craving crisps these days, going to do a shop tomorrow, so need ideas for recipes, will look up app for more healthy foods.
12/10/168.3/ went for coffee with a friend today, had a big fifteen traybake, she insisted lol I gave in, will try harder tomorrow, need to start losing pounds, Christmas festive food gets me the worst, mini platters of tasty treats, this time of year it is difficult. Will do my best, that's all I can do! Good luck everyone! 👍 😊 7 days to go till end of round, keep logging in! Xx
12/11/ 167.8/ Had a blow out last night, but the scales didn't punish me yet, hardly ate today, as was doing alot of housework, drunk plenty of coffee, pedometers not working anymore, I moved enough that's all I know. Did a shop, so kippers and steamed vegetables for dinner, no beer this weekend, had to stop that bad habit. Hopefully get to 167.5 by tomorrow.
12/12/ 169.0/ didn't sleep much last night, kept waking up and had drinks of water and a night time snack so reading on scale will be higher 😔.Only had chicken gougons for dinner there, and plan not to snack tonight, that's the plan 😆 Will definitely get a good sleep, long drive today. Got to stick to daily target on cals, very important. Going to a dinner party on the 18th so want to make best of this round, just about fit into dress 😅
12/13/ 168.6/ really not getting control of this, when I started diet on fitnesspal a month ago, i really kept my cals down and it was easy, struggling a little now, balancing making dinner for DH is hard when I see hearty meals cooked and all, not to indulge. I think apart from that I've plateaued, need to add more exercise, at least I'm still logging my diary everyday, didn't have much today yet, was out at art class since early morning, so filled up on coffee. Small goal is to not eat after 8pm from now on, and get full nights sleep without waking to get drinks. That's probably messing with scales in morning.
12/14/ 169.0/ dedicated today to make a difference, I need to put effort in, no snacking tonight, got vegetables which will fill me up, and will have soup with no bread for supper. Need to spur myself on yo lose another stone, at least, I know I can do it bring on the scales by day ten 💪
12/15/ 170.0/ 😔 this round has been text book example of how not to diet, my attentions seem to have drifted, I have snacked far too much and made bad choices, last three days I've just been so blooming tired all the time, exhausted, sleeping 12+ hours a night although waking to get hydrated. Can't seem to find energy even in food. Bloods done at doctors a month ago and got clean bill of health. So not worried just must be time of year, with less sunlight around, maybe S.A.D. staying positive I will turn this around eventually, once my motivation returns I will bring my A game again. Little steps, tomorrow I've booked in for a swim.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

I'm in again. Round 170 was basically a wash for me - I lost 0.2 pounds. 🙄
I'm a 5'7" 54yo woman in SE Michigan.
I would like to consistently be at or below 158 by Christmas.
SW (this fall): 161 lbs
UGW: 145 lbs. (I'd be happy with 150 right now.)
Day/Weight/Comment (Comments will be regarding the previous day)
12/8 - 159.4 Ate OK yesterday - maybe a little too much beef rendang for dinner. Snacking happened but was not out of control. No exercise - work from 9 - 5, and then it was dark. And I was tired.
12/9 - 158.8 Yesterday was one of those days going from one thing straight to another with work, volunteer responsibilities, grocery shopping. . . I don't snack much on these days but did snack a little more in the evening. Was over WW points but still a blue dot - surprisingly. No exercise other than my daily back exercises.
12/10 - 159.2 Yesterday: ate OK. Didn't track dinner but I think it wasn't too high (chicken yassa) though the squash had a buttery/ maple syrup-y glaze. I walked with a friend for about 1.5 hours in the afternoon; my fitbit tracked ~12K steps by the end of the day. Work holiday party tonight -- Thai restaurant food. That will be a challenge. Will try to jog today - I think I'll have time.
12/11 - 159.0 Yesterday was a heavy work day = a lot of sitting. I ate about half my Thai order at the work party and threw the rest away. I was full and I can't bring it home anyway b/c my daughter has celiac. No significant exercise.. .
12/12 - 158.2 Yesterday, I kept snacking under control, tracked everything, and jogged 3 miles without getting blown away (too badly) by the wind!
12/13 - 158.2 Yesterday, I tracked all my food again! Went over my WW points. Had lunch out with my husband.
12/14 - 158 I'm excited by the possibility of maybe getting below 158 soon! I just need to stay consistent. Lack of consistency is one of my weaknesses. Yesterday was a slightly crazy day at work--> a lot of sitting. I ate mindfully and limited snacking, though I didn't track. I hope to go for a jog this afternoon since it's mild and sunny again!
12/15 - 158.2 I'm not tracking; I'm a bit under the gun with some work and volunteer projects all needing to be done now. I will be working late tonight (at home). I did go for a 2 mile jog yesterday in the arb. It's always nice to be exercising outside along the river among the trees.
Got my booster today - just a mildly sore arm so far.

We offered them $5,000 less than asking and they said they are not interested whatsoever. No counter offer, nothing.
Given BF and I have different last names, I can't say this is true, but we both have seen it happen: The man and woman listed as sellers have different last names. The house was just purchased in 2019. We are wondering if it's a divorce situation and both parties have to agree separately or if it's a couple like BF and I that are simply being greedy/hoping someone will offer higher than asking right off the bat.
I doubt we will pursue. Wasn't going to seriously look until next month anyway and it gives us more time to save up closing costs without causing too much issue3 -

Starting Weight a few years ago 278-Thankfully I've kept off those 70 pounds, but it's time to tackle the next several lbs!
Goals
To end the month/year within a 2 pound range (ie I may lose this pre Christmas celebration challenge, but don't want to weigh more than 210-I want to stay in the 200 + single digits range) I'd love to enter the New Year at 202-the overweight category for me, but realistically? I commit to weighing & measuring my nutritionally rich food for this challenge, and to get down to 205-206 range.
Here's to health!

12/11 207.8 Back to the beginning of this round's weight. Yep-weight fluxuates! As I've read through all your posts (yes, this morning I did read 4 pages of comments looking for my last post) I'm reminded that I have missed drinking lots of water, and swimming. So, my focus today is H2O-in and around me!
12/12
12/13 207.4 Well, after a full weekend of activities and a bit of overindulging, I'm glad to see that I'm still in the good range and -.4 from where I started this challenge. The ups & downs of life and weight loss! Saturday, I went to a former colleague's memorial service, attended a play that evening, and visited a distressed friend yesterday. I never attributed enjoying food & drink that I've not eaten for quite a while to these events....but I'm beginning to see the light....I'm used to having a glass of wine when at the theater....but really? $12 for a tiny portion in a plastic cup with a lid? And drinking my caories? And the theater buff who I was with passed me chocolate just after intermission. Old habits...that I'm now seeing this all in a new light. I've started this new attempt to lose weight, without really examining these long-held habits/customs. Eating over the passing of a beloved friend, and another one in distress...I've heard of "eating your feelings" but am now realizing what it means firsthand. Observations worth of my consideration.
12/14 205.6 Whoo whoo, pounds dropping! Now to keep going in this direction!!!
12/15 206.6 My challenge besides wrapping gifts, is finding clothes that fit, are warm & styish, and that will fit into a suitcase to bring along to NY for Xmas. Having lost weight this year-not much from my closet fits well anymore. Getting close to this ten day challenge's goal of being in the 205-206 range-almost there!

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 starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), add one day of double strength training per week (didn’t hit this last round cause of a cold).
Previous Rounds169 150->151.2 (+1.2) Thanksgiving
170 151.2->148.3 (-2.9)
Previous Posts12/8 workday 2/2. Leftover soba noodles with cabbage, bell pepper, carrot and tofu for lunch. Roasted Brussel sprouts with a Buffalo sauce, avocado, and seitan for dinner. Protein: 124
12/9 I meal planned today since I work all weekend (boooo!) and ran around all morning doing some Christmas shopping and getting groceries. I did a clean and jerk, v-up, burpee workout and big pull day for strength (PRs on my DB rows and rack pulls!). Our gym is in the garage and I’m maxing out on the DB’s (only go up to 60) but we are also maxing out on space for gym equipment since we do use it as an actual car garage. I might look into getting PowerBlocks to get us up to 90lbs without using up much more floor space. Had a farro bowl with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, seitan and a gochujang sauce. Walked around the neighborhood after dinner looking at Christmas lights. Protein: 126
12/10 I did two cardio workouts. One jump rope and DB step ups and the other rowing, shoulder press, and bent over barbell rows. I did a core workout from my strength programming. Normally there are 4 days of mostly compound lifts and 2 days of accessory and core work and I’ve been trying to fit in the accessory days on one of my 4 non-work days. Mission accomplished today! I also went on a walk (I like to listen to house music and walk to the beat. Keeps the pace brisk lol) before it got super windy. I ran a few errands this afternoon with my mom and went to the florist to have them make a festive garland with lights to go around my front door. Hit some PRs (again!!) on leg day for the primary lifting session. I ended up eating waaay more today than I have for the past few weeks since I was so active. Dinner was a roasted cauliflower, black lentil, green olive, pistachio salad with a lemon vinaigrette and baked tofu. Back to work tomorrow. Protein: 162
12/11 Probably the most annoying day of work in recent memory. Not looking forward to going back in the morning. Really yummy roasted eggplant and tomato soup and seitan for dinner though. Protein: 115
12/12 workday 2/2. 4 days of freedom now! Leftovers for lunch. Spicy lentils with roasted butternut squash and tofu for dinner. Protein: 116
12/13 I love my days off! The hospital is just (physically and mentally) exhausting sometimes. I meal planned and grocery shopped for the next week (I really messed up my schedule for December and am working almost every weekend. Yuck). I am doing a good job with getting my 2 accessory days of strength training programming in now that I’m recovering from that nasty cold. I did a rowing, man maker (first time doing them, it was like a push-up, renegade row, squat clean, thruster all in one), devil’s press workout and hit the accessory trunk work day this morning. I got a Christmas book on audible that I listened to on a walk. Leftovers for lunch. For the primary strength training today I did a push day. The new programming cycle is heavy on volume and I’m feeling it. Ever since I’ve started cleaning up my diet and hitting my protein goals I’ve been hitting PRs almost everyday and tonight I was doing deficit pushups like they were nothing. Feels good! Stir fried tempeh, cabbage, and carrots with a really yummy sweet and sour type sauce for dinner. Protein: 152g
12/14 I got in my second accessory day this morning, so I’m on track to hit all 6 training sessions in my 4 days off this week. I did a farmers carry step up and box jump workout to get the heart rate up and then the accessory programming was a bunch of trunk work and kettlebell swings. The florist finished making my Christmas garland and I got that hung and then started wrapping Christmas presents. Pull day for the primary lifting programming (I’m still on my streak of PRs!). I tried a recipe from the MFP blog.. Cabbage and onion noodle kugel. It was pretty tasty and high in protein. Protein: 142g

12/15 146.8 (-.2) Maybe I’m going too hard on the workouts, I’m feeling suuuuper sore. Could just be that we switched cycles that’s all about volume and I woulda been sore anyway! Did a burpee, pullup, clean, air squat workout this morning. I had a gingerbread decorating party with my mom, sister, and nieces this afternoon. I brought my own lunch and didn’t have any cookie snacks. I’m probably going to transition over to maintenance for 1-2weeks starting next week. My local family is having our Christmas party (with many, many cookies) on Monday, my in laws come for proper Christmas, and then my husband and I are going to the family Colorado cabin with my parents and sister’s family after Christmas through New Years. I’m feeling really good about my progress over the past few weeks (I see some *upper* abs popping out *in the right lighting*) and have been leaning up nicely through the normally rough Halloween-New Years holiday excesses. Leg day for strength tonight (MORE PR’s. What is this madness). Roasted butternut squash and kale pasta with tofu for dinner. Protein: 136

Round 171 (103rd 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 17 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 3 pounds for then ( I think 2 pounds are more realistic, but I'll give it a go!), that is only 2.5 weeks, a pound a week or 2 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with more pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and keeping going. Incentive is that I feel good about the dresses I want to wear for our Christmas & New Year dance nights. I need to remain binge free, but as always – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers keep yo-yoing in England – we reached “freedom day” back in the summer, but there is still a pandemic, and now a new variant: Covid is still very much around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, stay alert and 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.

12/16 - 144.2 - I'm sure the scale is playing tricks on me! I figured I'd be up and I'm looking a little bloated in the low belly. Not only did I indulge in a small piece of cake (retirement party and it was my favorite) but I didn't quite hit water goal. I'd say about 75oz as estimate. Did not make up for my half workout Tuesday at all yesterday. Got just under 10k steps (which is still more than what I get working from home by a significant amount). I'll keep chugging away. Same meal as yesterday. Our little snack shopette (in place while they renovate the kitchen) had salsa so I bought that and added it to my chicken to change it up. It was soooooo good. I need to go add salsa to my packed lunch now.... NF habits alright. Managed some, not others. Today I'm scheduled a workout so I'll try to get that knocked out in full today unlike Tuesday. I'm off Monday so I have a full 4 day weekend but I have Friendsmas tomorrow evening. Will do my best to stay on track food wise during the weekend but I don't expect the weight to continue dropping off.
12/17
Previous Day's Comments12/08 - Whew, the first weigh in of the round is now over and no random uptick! Food was okay, portions were good, water was excellent. All NF habits completed. Got plenty of stretching in through the day, but checked off goal with a 6 minute morning yoga routine. My body was a bit stiff so throughout the day, I got on the floor and moved in whatever way felt comfortable. Today is 7 reverse lunges each as well as my BW workout from NF so I'll knock those out here shortly. Lots of back to back meetings again so no grocery trip today (and if the meetings hold, tomorrow either) so I have to get creative with a balanced lunch these next couple of days. Friday I'm off so can stock up for the weekend and next week.
12/09 - Scale was making rash decisions this morning. Before I could even get both feet settled on it, it had settled on 146.2. I was not confident so I let it cycle through off and on, tried again. Another rash decision. With only one foot on the scale (the other hovering as I was in the process of stepping from floor to scale) 148.6. Okaaaaay, not even ON the scale. Finally, it acted normal and gave me 2 back to back readings (that took the normal couple of seconds to register) of 146.7. Well then. Today is rest day for NF. QFit wants me to do 9 staircases but I don't have any staircases around that are accessible to me/open to the public (or part of a state park in which you have to schedule a reservation and pay for). All habits good yesterday, water was good. Food was much much better with veggies in all 3 meals. I know dinner is homemade hamburgers at Fam's again tonight and I also know they usually leave me feeling horribly full and the scale jumping up the next day. Will be sure to plan around that with breakfast and lunch as well as eat slower tonight and be mindful of portion size.
12/10 - Actually shocked I'm down. Homemade venison/beef burgers. Also had a small pre-dinner snack of Limburger cheese on wheat thins (Those pushed me over calories by about 100). I did cut my burger in half. Ate half with the bun, the other half without bun. Saved me some calories and helped me up protein without upping carbs anymore. Also only ate cucumber and carrots as a side. Not a single chip, either! Lunch was a frozen burrito because meetings came flooding in back to back around my normal lunch and I only had about 5 minutes to get something and stuff my face. Breakfast was alright with ham/egg/cheese english muffin. No veggies, though. Finished my NF bodyweight workout already this morning. All of NF habits good. Hoping to hit 15 hours fasting despite my workout (NF goal is 15 hours so I'm not worried if I'm below 16. Training my body to adjust to fasting while working out is a lot harder than I thought. This is why fasting fell off my radar when I was training for my 5k. Hangry was not fun). Grocery shopping today. Hopefully I can get in and out before I get too ravenous. I am pretty good about sticking to my list, though, regardless of hunger.
12/11 - We ended up unexpectedly hanging out with some friends late last night and didn't get home until about 2am just talking and hanging out. Woke up at about 8 remembering I'd promised the local grocery store I'd be in early if they'd save me some boxes from overnight stocking (which they did! Yay free moving boxes). I was dressed and ready before my sleepy little brain realized I hadn't weighed. I figure it will likely be a false weight given the late night, lack of sleep, and water anyway so I'm not too upset by it. Back on goals/habits today. Everyone is out of town except the 2 friends we hung out with last night so it's just BF and I today. Making grocery list for dinners next week (I'm commuting) and I'll pick those up tomorrow before football starts. Rest day for NF (thankfully, after that little sleep I'd be really struggling). Not sure what's on the agenda for us today
12/12 - Expected. We wanted to get out of our crazy touristy town. Unfortunately, we had no idea the little cute town we wanted to visit had a Christmas event going on so it was just as toursity. Oh well, change of pace and scenery was still nice. Due to this, though, we ate out for "Linner" at a pizza place. Not too much water, either. Still hit minimum 70oz, but hard to tell with the glasses they provided us. Yesterday was NF rest day. Didn't track my fast, but I believe I was about 16 hours or so. All other habits good. NF promotes "paleo-ish" (more eat real foods and paleo is a good way to frame that). Lunch prep happened this morning, focusing on paleo: roasted broccoli and bell peppers for veggies, roasted sweet potato for my carbs, and baked chicken breast cut into tenders. Have a kiwi for dessert all 4 days. Errands: Grocery shop for staples to improvise dinner (complete, BF cooking dinners and he doesn't know what he wants to make), fill 5gal water jugs (complete), laundry (complete, just need to fold), meal prep (complete, tomorrow's lunch packed and ready to grab-n-go and coffee pot ready and set to brew), and shower (later). Whew. Busy busy. Trying to fast until lunch since I'm only just now starting to feel hungry. Have leftover sausage and broccoli from Friday as well as some sweet potato from this morning's meal prep. Unsure of dinner. Since I'm commuting this week, I expect a bump up this week. Later dinners and early mornings usually result in that. Will be focusing on my NF goals regardless and try to offset. I'm just happy to be pretty steady in the 140s again.
12/13 - As expected, the early morning jump up. Hopefully now I've shocked my system, I can continue on track and start dropping again. The fact that it's a larger blip up can likely be contributed to BF making homemade steak lo mein for dinner (hello sodium). Water was good and habits all good yesterday. Today is active rest day but I'll probably be up and down walking around a good chunk of the day. I'll at least do my best to find excuses to get up and move around rather than sit at the desk. BF said he wanted to make roast for tonight so hopefully he remembers to put in on this morning when he wakes up. Dinner was quite early last night (finished eating about 515pm) so my eating window this morning (16 hour fast) opens at 915am. I'll try to push to our lunch (11am) but I have a protein shake and a salmon packet I can have if I need a little extra. With that, my eating window may be longer today since dinner will be late (usually get home 630-ish and can't start eating until about 645-7pm) but it'll reset me to my correct fasting window for breaking it at lunch and finishing it with dinner.
12/14 - Likely due to fasting until lunch (18 hours) and a small dinner of roast. Probably should've had a little more roast so I don't get peckish, but I'll be alright. Just need to keep myself busy. Barely finished 90oz water before bed. Found a new house just posted to look at, BF is going to go get a first look today since we know it may go fast and our agent will be in the neighborhood today. My first opportunity is Friday due to working out of town. Didn't find a real good place to work out, but my office mate is out on vacation this week so I can expand into his cubicle today and Thursday to knock it out. Same lunch packed and ready today (other than sweet potatoes, I'm already sick of my lunch haha! I CANNOT do this eat the same thing every day thing very well. Just have to remind myself it's not a treat, it's fuel. It's healthy and balanced and that's what matters most. It's actually quite tasty, too).
12/15 - This is odd... I'm eating my lunch, which fills me up until I head home (and BF always times dinner to finish up just as I arrive home). Dinner is smaller than what I think I'd normally have, but not by much. And not more than I'd normally have so close to bed. NF habits alright. I did 2 of the 3 sets of NF workouts yesterday. Things got hectic and I didn't even realize I hadn't finished until after I was already in bed. I'll do my one set today to make up for it. Water was good. Figured out the timing of it so I don't have to get up multiple times in the night. BF looked at a house yesterday and said it's perfect. We are in the process of putting in an offer. Really challenging when I'm at work haha! I took Monday off next week so I have a 4 day weekend to try to pack. BF is off, too, I believe, but only for a 3 day weekend. He was off this past Monday and packed a bunch of stuff (hanging photos, display cases, etc. Stuff we don't use). Wish us luck!

**************************************
12/08 140.0 (trend 141.6) hit last round's goal a day late, it's nice to start on a round number. I'm surprised to get a drop today as I was waaaay over calories yesterday so this may just be dehydration, we'll see tomorrow. The family had a Chinese takeaway last night, I had a taste and a few prawn crackers but didn't order a meal, instead I had a ham sandwich and a chocolate bar, probably not the best substitute on reflection! I'll have to try and make amends today.
12/09 139.8 (trend 141.4) Excited to get a glimpse at the 130s! Didn't eat much again yesterday but woke up starving so I think it's safe to say my appetite is back, got to watch out that I don't binge today. I'm craving soup and have a couple of pumpkins left that I grew so may have to make some nom nom. Still haven't got a kitchen though so it'll be a bit tricky, maybe I'll use the slow cooker.
12/10 140.4 (trend 141.2) Had a really lazy day yesterday and probably snacked a bit too much. I need to up my water intake and get back to more structured eating. Taking my daughter (17) for her first vaccine today, 1 hour in the car each way, we'll probably stop off at the garden centre on the way back and go to the cafe, buy a special tree ornament and maybe a holly wreath. OH is away for a few nights so we can binge on tacky Christmas movies and decorate the house a bit. I just need to clean it first, blah. Not all girly stuff though, we're gonna watch the grand prix tomorrow. Mercedes F1 is based in our little town so it's the law that we watch it!
12/11 140.4 (trend 141.1) had a bit of a binge last night, bought some lebkuchen which I absolutely love and holds so many nostalgic memories for me. I probably scoffed about 8 and a packet of crisps and stayed up until the wee small hours so I'm expecting a gain over the next few days. Really tired today so I'm gonna be relaxing and taking it easy.
12/12 142.0 (trend 141.3) Me and the girl decorated the tree, danced around to wham and had far too much baked camembert, bread and mulled wine. Big gain but hopefully only temporary!
12/13 142.2 (trend 141.4) Didn't eat much yesterday but still processing all the rich food from the last few days. Not worried, yet! Gonna try and eat light for the rest of the week.
12/14 140.0 (trend 141.2) Phew, the last time I had a bread and cheese fest (pizza) I was bloated for about 5 days, this time was only 2. I had a probiotic yoghurt last night which I think helped. Note to self, flour is not your friend.
12/15 139.4 (trend 140.9) Surprised to see a new low today as I ate salty instant noodles last night. Hubby pimps them up with onions and spices and scrambled eggs and they are soo tasty! Busy day doing plumbing in the downstairs loo, connecting the basin and shower and feeling proud that all my pipework works as intended, no leaks! Passed my goals for this round, hopefully I can hold it for two more days.
12/16 139.6 (trend 140.8) Lucky to get away with not gaining more as I had Baileys, chocolates and snacks but only had salad for dinner and no lunch so low volume food day. Had my electrician cancel today, he's coming tomorrow instead, I'm getting my booster today so hopefully I won't get any symptoms from it as I really need to be up early and with it when the electrician is here.

I'm in again. Round 170 was basically a wash for me - I lost 0.2 pounds. 🙄
I'm a 5'7" 54yo woman in SE Michigan.
I would like to consistently be at or below 158 by Christmas.
SW (this fall): 161 lbs
UGW: 145 lbs. (I'd be happy with 150 right now.)
Day/Weight/Comment (Comments will be regarding the previous day)
12/8 - 159.4 Ate OK yesterday - maybe a little too much beef rendang for dinner. Snacking happened but was not out of control. No exercise - work from 9 - 5, and then it was dark. And I was tired.
12/9 - 158.8 Yesterday was one of those days going from one thing straight to another with work, volunteer responsibilities, grocery shopping. . . I don't snack much on these days but did snack a little more in the evening. Was over WW points but still a blue dot - surprisingly. No exercise other than my daily back exercises.
12/10 - 159.2 Yesterday: ate OK. Didn't track dinner but I think it wasn't too high (chicken yassa) though the squash had a buttery/ maple syrup-y glaze. I walked with a friend for about 1.5 hours in the afternoon; my fitbit tracked ~12K steps by the end of the day. Work holiday party tonight -- Thai restaurant food. That will be a challenge. Will try to jog today - I think I'll have time.
12/11 - 159.0 Yesterday was a heavy work day = a lot of sitting. I ate about half my Thai order at the work party and threw the rest away. I was full and I can't bring it home anyway b/c my daughter has celiac. No significant exercise.. .
12/12 - 158.2 Yesterday, I kept snacking under control, tracked everything, and jogged 3 miles without getting blown away (too badly) by the wind!
12/13 - 158.2 Yesterday, I tracked all my food again! Went over my WW points. Had lunch out with my husband.
12/14 - 158 I'm excited by the possibility of maybe getting below 158 soon! I just need to stay consistent. Lack of consistency is one of my weaknesses. Yesterday was a slightly crazy day at work--> a lot of sitting. I ate mindfully and limited snacking, though I didn't track. I hope to go for a jog this afternoon since it's mild and sunny again!
12/15 - 158.2 I'm not tracking; I'm a bit under the gun with some work and volunteer projects all needing to be done now. I will be working late tonight (at home). I did go for a 2 mile jog yesterday in the arb. It's always nice to be exercising outside along the river among the trees. Got my booster today - just a mildly sore arm so far.
12/16 - 158.8 Not happy with the uptick, but it makes sense as I haven't been tracking, and I snacked late last night b/c I was up working late last night. Also, I haven't gotten enough sleep the last 2 nights. The good news - only a sore arm after the booster! And I'll be done with the work projects today.

12/15: 149.7 - I was worried to step on the scale this morning after a long day of travel. I kind of gave up tracking calories our last couple of days since it was a lot of foods I didn’t prepare and so many nibbles. When I did track, I was so clearly over my calories each day (even with exercise) that I was sure I gained 5 pounds. Imagine my surprised that I essentially maintained. Tomorrow will be another story as I had a mini binge when we got home from the airport.
12/16: 150.4 - Hydrated well yesterday and feeling a bit stiff after doing arm weights for the first time in a week or so.
12/17: -
Total round weight loss/gain to date from EO last round: + 0.5 pounds12
