Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 171

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!

167 EW: 203.2
168 EW: 198.2
169 EW: 201.2
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.
12/16 195.4 Had a good food day yesterday, finishing with 59 net carbs. Didn’t hit my step goal. I’m determined to hit it today. Im going to say this uptick this morning is due to the weird sleep schedule of the past two days. Things will be normal again starting today, yay!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/08: 205.7 - Alright back down after my body played an end of the round trick on me. Felt really tired this morning so it was a drag to get on the bike but just did it anyway and set another 20 minute PR. Either my cardio is improving that much or I'm getting stronger to set 3 new PRs in a week.
12/09: 204.4 - I'm guessing a lot of water in this but I also had a good day of eating yesterday and I'm just burning so many calories lately that weight is flying off (even though I'm eating plenty, including some junk). Took a 45 minute ride with my favorite instructor this morning and set a 45 minute PR tomorrow is definitely going to be active rest day because my poor legs need it!
12/10: 204.1 - Not much to say today. Very tired. Almost didn't want to work out this morning but pushed myself to do 2 rides. Secondary scale said 203.5... getting so close to 200.
12/11: 201.3 - Two words: Water. Weight. 60 minute ride this morning burning 850 calories and a TON of sweat. Either way it’s nice to see that 200 is attainable probably within a week or so.
12/12: 202.4 - Had Chinese for dinner yesterday and a few alcoholic seltzers so not overly surprised about a slight bump up. Still got up for my scheduled 8am Peloton class and my legs are feeling it!
12/13: 205.5 - Was tempted to just not post today because this is disappointing. But staying accountable. Weight fluctuates and I figured I'd be higher than the weekend with Monday being a low-impact day for me. Still sad to see.
12/14: 205.0 - Feeling like I won't get to my 200 by Christmas for the first time so that's not the best feeling in the world.
12/15: 204.4 - Hard to believe no scale progress for the week and slowed down big time over the past month. I know I'm getting close to goal and a slow down happens but it's a little disheartening. I'm still working hard and not going to let a number stop me. In past 24 hours I've set new 10/15/20 minute PRs on Peloton, so cardio improving and I can be happy with that.
12/16: 205.3 - Ugh. I think I'm going to take next round off... I'll still work out and weigh daily but for my mental health I just can't keep typing out discouraging numbers.

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.
12/16 - 182.2, Ave 181.5
Not surprised—I did not behave at the party last night and it was worth it. Lots of good food! It’s the only party I’m going to and I don’t plan to bake much, so it’s fine. I still have a week to meet my birthday goal!

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: DONE!!

12/08 - Weight ? Yesterday I weighed 162.8. Today's weight at 6am before going to an early doc appt was 161.3. When I got home and weighed at my usual time, I weighed 160.6. Regardless of which one is correct, my goal is to reach the 150's at the end of 10 days.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
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!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/08
12/09 I’m starting today. Plan on eating chicken noodle soup, and mixed salad. Weight: 191 lbs after a heavy breakfast
12/10 : 187.4 (morning before eating)
12/11: 186 (this morning after waking up, no eating). For the past 3 days, I’ve reached my goal of not going over 1300 calories. I’m very happy that it is clicking, I’ll do everything to reach my calorie goal one day at a time.
12/12: 187. I exceed my calories by 211. I was so hungry, but I don’t think that explains the gain. I must have been losing water weight the first day. I’m still ecstatic with the results. Today I will do the low impact beginner workout video from Body Project on YouTube.
It’s 11:37, I just finished the video “Fun, low impact workout for TOTAL beginners” on YouTube. I hadn’t worked out in a loooong time. I was able to finish the whole workout, I feel AMAZING right now !! Next goal for the day: stay within my daily calories.
12/13: 185.8. Yesterday, I stayed within my points. Today, I did the same video as yesterday. I’m giving myself a challenge: do one video of 30 mn at least 4 times this week. The workouts are for beginner but they’re not that easy, today I was slightly sore from yesterday but was still able to finish today’s workout. I feel beyond AMAZING and proud of myself!!!! My goal is to 1. stay within my calories today, 2. do another video tomorrow morning.
This is working. It’s not rocket science, it’s simple to understand but not easy to do. I think I got the click this week, I’m taking it and running!!!! Let’s goooooooo!!!!!!
12/14: 185.4. I’m very sore (especially legs), I’ll take a break from working out. Goal for the day: not going over my calorie (this is hard, my limit is 1275), before that I think I was easily eating 3000-4000 calories a day. Last thing I forgot to mention, I drink a lot of water (2.5 liters per day), about 5 small bottles.
12/15: 185.8. I ate over my calorie limit yesterday. I just finished doing video 2 for beginners (1/2 weight training and 1/2 cardio). I am more sore after this one, I hadn’t worked out my muscles in a long time. I’m feeling great and happy that I am pushing through it. 2 more days in this challenge but so far it is a success!
12/16: 186.6. I ate over my calorie limit last night. It was takeout and I think I had food poisoning, I woke up in the middle of the night with horrible stomach pains. I feel a little better this morning. I’m taking a day rest from working out. Goal for today: no take out, stay within my calorie limit and drink lots of water.

12/8-166-I just want to get to 164 this round. DH went fishing, so we had trout for dinner. Soup supper at church tonight, hopefully I can play my cards right and avoid any bread. I want to get a bike ride and horse ride in today.
12/9-DNW-The soup was salty and I ate 2 small pieces of bread. My friend’s quilt top arrived yesterday early and I wanted to get it quilted so I can mail it back today. I normally do not quilt for other people, but I wanted to help her out. Luckily, it was fast and easy. Rain today.
12/10-168-Homemade chicken vegetable soup, must have been the salt. Sunny today, lots to do.
12/11-164-Made it to my goal for the round. Had a small pork chop, sautéed spinach, riced cauliflower and salad, just small portions. My son told me his friend graduates tomorrow; I thought it was supposed to be in the spring and I wanted to make him a quilt. I already have the fabric and a quick pattern....
12/12-DNW
12/13-165-Had MIL over for dinner and made my French bread into rolls, baked salmon and more riced cauliflower, had come candied walnuts, avocado, green onions, dried cranberries and a wine vinegariette I made salad out of. Got all but the binding done and will mail the quilt today. Windy!
12/14-167-Made broccoli cheddar soup and also cooked a sweet potato- heavy food. Garden Club luncheon today and dinner out with a friend.....

❄️🌨️☃️ December ☃️🌨️❄️
8: 212.6 I've got a new goal to reach 195 by 2/22/22...the day before my birthday. Broken down into 5 pound increments, the first being the longest because of the holidays, I'd like to see 210 by December 30th. With TOM this round and Christmas next round, it might be challenging, but I intend to hold myself to it.
9: 212.2 Good day yesterday. Honestly surprised to not be seeing little gains yet, but I'll take the loss! Makes me curious what's different now though. 🤷🏽
10: 212.2 I'm gonna call this a win because I would normally definitely be gaining by now. Getting ready to hunker down for a couple days. Winter storm on the way. First we were expecting 5-12 inches of snow. Now they're saying mixed precipitation. Either way, I don't want to drive in it, so meals are planned and groceries are bought.
11: 212.4 Since my (formally?) normal PMS gain pattern isn't happening, I wonder if the TOM whoosh will still happen on day 2 or 3. I'm kind of excited to find out.
We got around 4 inches of snow overnight, so looks like shoveling will need to happen at some point. I'll probably be sore tomorrow!
12: 212.6 No TOM yet, so maybe these are my PMS gains. Definitely better than gaining 2-3 pounds. I'm really happy about this round so far! Shoveled yesterday for about an hour. Ended up with a 1000 calorie deficit, even eating about 1300. I'm not as sore today as I thought I would be, but I am feeling muscles I'm not used to being aware of.
13: 211.5 I'm baffled, but I'll take it. Lol 🤔 Visiting a friend overnight tonight, so no weight tomorrow. Will probably be up a bit anyway since we'll likely soak in the hot tub tonight with drinks in hand.
14: DNW
15: 212.9 No doubt this is from my overnight the other night. Got home late in the afternoon yesterday. Feeling good about being right back on track. Curiously, still no TOM.
*Edit ♀️ late in the day
16: 211.5 ♀️ Glad to see everything is getting back on track!

12/8 205.4 (-1.0) Swam yesterday. I swim an hour of laps and my time is faster. I swam 100 yards averaging 4’14”. When I started swimming in July, it took me 10’52”. Today is no organized exercise. My son flies in tomorrow for a long weekend. Can’t wait to see him!
12/9 205.0 (-1.4) A busy day today, but I plan to swim in between everything on my schedule. Eating and exercise will probably be a little off with company over the weekend, but I’m planning to stay on track with the exception of one indulgence meal.
12/10 206 (-.4) I was hungry yesterday and polished off some salted roasted almonds last night. I felt a little nauseous afterwards. I did not get my swimming in. I’m heading to Lion King tonight with my son and his friends and we are going out to dinner before the show. That will be my indulgence meal, so there will be more of a bump tomorrow.
12/11 207.4 (+1.0) Enjoyed the night out at the Lion King. I swam yesterday morning so did manage to get some good exercise in, along with about 7,500 steps. So I’m hoping this extra weight drops off quickly in the next few days. Heading to Meow Wolf, which is an installation art exhibit. So we’ll be walking a lot. It’s been fun having my son and his buddy in town.
12/12 208.2 (+1.8) Ate late last night and off plan. But I’ve enjoyed every moment of having my son in town. He’s heading home this morning and my routine will be back on track. When we went to Meow Wolf yesterday, I climbed and crawled through lots of spaces that I never would have gone through before. It’s amazing how much of a difference the extra energy and smaller size make. Today begins the final push before Christmas Eve when my family gets together to celebrate. So I have two weeks and hoping to be at a new low later this week.
12/13 206 (-.4) Moving back down after a busy weekend. There is always that seed of doubt…maybe this is the time I won’t be strong enough to get refocused. I’m back on routine today and will be busy with no organized exercise. I think it will be easy because I have my meals planned and tomorrow I’m back in the pool, which always helps with those extra exercise calories.
12/14 205.2 (-1.2) Another busy day today, but it starts with swimming, so I should be good. Still hoping to hit my goal weight for this round. Fingers crossed!
12/15 204.0 (-2.4) Woohoo! Officially have lost 60 pounds since May and have 44 pounds left to go. Swimming was good yesterday and I stayed under calories and drank all my water. I went out to lunch with a friend and knew exactly what I was going to order to stay on track. No organized exercise today. My days have really been busy. I finished a commission that gets delivered on Friday. Things will slow down after that. I’m looking forward to some time to relax and play with paint.
12/16 204.6 (-1.8) I was under calories yesterday, but ate really late after a busy day and didn’t get enough water. I hope to remedy that today.9 -

12/08 / 190 / Rough night volunteering last night. Today will be busy at work, we'll see what exercise I get up to at lunch and afterwards. Excited to see the first 18x number this round!
12/09 / 188.2 / Hello whoosh! I haven't seen the 180's for over 15 years... I am over the moon excited for this final stage of my weight loss journey!
12/10 / 189.6 / Did my first 60 minute Peloton ride this morning. I didn't want to get out of bed but I was so glad I did!
12/11 / 189.2 / Had my work's virtual Christmas party last night. Husband and I got to order in and watch the private concert. I know I want to do some strength training today and we'll see what else we get up to. Feeling a bit sore so might take it easier than normal.
12/12 / 189.6 / More sedentary day yesterday as we saw two movies in the theatre (there was a good promotion on). Still did 53 minutes of exercise though so I'm happy about that.
12/13 / 191.8 / Definitely feel bloated today which is unusual for me. I set a 60 minute PR on the Peloton yesterday and then spent the day in the kitchen on my feet with my husband and mom making homemade perogies and meat kebabs.
12/14 / 191.6 / Week is off to a fine start - definitely feeling the time crunch before the holidays. Off to fit in my Peloton ride over my lunch hour since it's really cold outside here and the dog has no desire to go outside.
12/15 / 191.4 / Slowly chipping my way back down. Peloton ride is done for the day. It's still cold here but I am going to try to get out for a 20 minute walk at least over my lunch hour.
12/16 / 190.6 / Had a mixed bag of exercise yesterday. Started my morning with a brisk walk before work. Feeling good!

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.

12/9 118.0 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.

12/8: 205.6 To be expected! Took my Adderall break yesterday and had my morning protein shake, tried to have a bowl of cereal but it was the generic kind and yucky, two veggie samosas for lunch, and butter chicken with rice and half a piece of naan for dinner with a little ice cream afterwards. So lots of sodium! Also lots of calories I’m sure but it was sure yummy. Have leftover butter chicken and naan tonight but going to eat a smaller portion. Overslept this morning so took a smaller dose of Adderall. BP has been cooperating so far.
12/9: 204.8 Some of that sodium water exiting my system.
12/10: 204.6 This is the pace of weight loss I’m used to lol. Still think some of this is sodium induced - I’ve been eating Indian leftovers for the past two nights. It’s Friday, time to make a big push before the weekend work-wise so larger dose of Adderall today. Yikes.
12/11: 204.4 Good I guess? Looks like I don’t need to be so worried about Adderall related weight loss lol. Definitely not going to make it to 200 at this rate but oh well, it’s still progress. Very sad day at the barn yesterday. Went for my lesson and found out one of the barn favorites, amazing lesson and show horse, died very unexpectedly that morning. Then, went to catch my lesson horse and she was COMPLETELY lame. Took 30 minutes to coax her up to the barn (normally a 5 minute walk) and I had to call my instructor, who was teaching a lesson, to please send someone out to me with more grain as more encouragement. Probably an abscess so she should be ok. Still got a short ride in on someone else but with everything that was going on, didn’t get to enjoy it too much. Today I had to be at a client site all morning so I’m looking forward to the afternoon off. Might still do some work on Sunday.
12/12: 204.0 I haven’t decided if I’ll work today or not lol. Next week is super busy with meetings and getting things wrapped up as it’s my last week of work before I take two weeks off for the holidays. So I’m thinking I might just enjoy the day off ha. And by day off I mean doing the cleaning I’ve been neglecting for the past two weeks.

She’s scheduled for full thickness biopsies of her intestines on the 28th. I’m supposed to go a Xmas party at my barn tomorrow evening but I. Am. Pooped. I’ll still make my lesson but I just need to chill for a bit.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
12/07 …..190.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/08 …..190.4 ….. (Trend weight 189.6) I’m a hot mess. Now I’ve ran my glucose up and I am feeling like sheer crap on top of it all. I’m making changes today to get to a better place. More paperwork and business for my brother is due today. I don’t even feel like I can raise a pencil to paper! It’s the food choices.
12/09 …..190.4 ….. Trend weight 189.7) Same weight for 3 days in a row but my trend weight is creeping up 0.1 each and every day. I still haven’t made the changes I need to. I am not eating my meals proper, then I’m snacking too much at night turning snacks into meals. Cravings are all over the place. Back and forth from salt to sweet. Glucose numbers still up, even with new meds. I am not even giving them a chance to work. Self-sabotage is putting it mildly. I promise myself everyday that it will change today, and then I begin the tasks for my brother’s death and I either lean on food for comfort, or I get to busy to plan for success. I suppose the first part of success and change is recognition, so here I am standing at the confessional podium. Better planning is next and success (while currently elusive) is mine to take.
12/10 …..189.8 ….. (Trend weight 189.7) I ate better yesterday and kept my snacks to sugar-free items. I still haven’t started Christmas shopping and you all know how far I am from ANY stores. I hope to do a little shopping online today, we are expecting another bad winter storm. We’ve had over 12” of snow in the past couple of days. I am still working on decorating with my handyman’s help. It’s hard to get in the spirit. I’m hanging on by the skin of my teeth here, please continue to be patient with me, my friends.
12/11 …..190.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.8) Waited too long for dinner due to unexpected company over. Then I overate. Dinner at 11:30 pm. Early wake-up and weigh-in after 3.5 hours of sleep. I can’t wait for life to get back to normal, but sadly it will be without Jeff. I still haven’t starting shopping yet. Today I hope to spend some time online doing the online shopping thing. I hope it will better get me in the spirit. Gotta watch my meals today and make sure I don’t get too hungry! I’m actually quite perfect at all this……..that is, until I get hungry. I know ya’ll get that!
12/12 …..192.0 ….. Trend weight 190.0) Out to dinner with a friend who helped move some of my brother’s furniture. Pasta and a shared dessert in the same meal is never a good idea. Freaking out today. Making it a low cal / carb mindful day. Lots of water.
12/13 …..192.2….. (Trend weight 190.2) Small fluctuation with no TMI. Travel today for building supplies and product returns won’t help. I’ll not be home until later tonight after dark.
12/14 …..191.6 ….. (Trend weight 190.4) Travel weight has not shown up yet on the scale. I got my Covid booster Sunday and the fatigue and flu-like symptoms hit me hard while I was out of town. Wow. Just so tired and lethargic. While it is totally worth it, I hate that it happened while I was away from home. The Moderna was half the dose of my last shot so I didn’t expect this. I got to bed early and just rested until this morning. I feel back to 100% now. Today is hair appointment this afternoon. Then back to some more decorating/tidying up and maybe even some wrapping later!
12/15 …..190.4 ….. (Trend weight 190.4) Good meals. Bad snacks but thankfully not too many. Trend weight and actual weight have caught up with each other and landed on a number I’m not happy with but I’m very close to being back in the 180’s so I will try to make today an exceptional day. I’ve already planned my dinner and snacks. I am sitting right now at my exact start weight. Goal is to lose ANYTHING per round so I’m going after it with a vengeance! Scale down by 1.2 today and that is with no sleep, very little movement and an early weigh-in. Watch me go!
12/16 …..189.2 ….. (Trend weight 190.3) I am happy to see another drop. I carefully planned my meals and I kept my quantities in check also. However, I finally had a TMI and I know that plays into it as well. I did have a large piece of chocolate cream pie yesterday which has driven my glucose up this morning and has made me feel very ill. Today, it feels like food is my enemy. A source of sickness and weakness and sluggishness. It should be a source of nutrition and energy. Clearly I am still abusing it when I’m feeling this badly although stress does play a role. I’m going to remember today to keep my food wholesome but satisfying. I’ve decided to wait on the baking until very close to my family gathering (after Christmas). This will keep me from nibbling for weeks.
12/17 …..xxxxx ….. (Trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Hello! This is Round 3 for me. 60F, 5' 3.5". I'm pretty good with following my calories/day allotment and exercising most days (5-6/wk). I lift weights, cardio, stretching, and PT exercises as part of my exercise routine. Good luck everyone!
Round goal: 139.0
End-of-year goal: 140 lbs
End of Feb goal (vacation): 135 lbs, UGW
SW: 140.9
Day/Weight/Comment
12/8 140.9 Another hike in my favorite park yesterday. Last time, a few days back, it was in the 60's. Yesterday, it was in the 40's (and sunny in Colorful Colorado!). I wore leggings and jeans, 2 pairs of socks, 2 shirts, 2 sweatshirts, and a knit hat, lol! I have never hiked in that much clothing before! It worked out well. I thought I would have to wrap one sweatshirt around my waist partway through, but didn't because it was a bit windy. I realized that I did not state a Round goal yesterday, so I added that to my other goals above. Today, I am going to a lunch at a restaurant with a number of ladies and have scoped out the menu online and figured out my calories for the day to keep within my allotment. We'll see how that works. Have a wonderful day, everyone.
12/9. 141.1 OK, for the last six days or so, I've been fairly level with my weight, ever so slightly ticking up. I have been tolerating it, but today, I'm starting to become less tolerant. Yesterday, I went out to lunch and ate more for that meal (~725 calories as opposed to the more typical ~400 calories), and went over ~225 calories for the day. I almost always stay within my allotted amount, so I thought this would be totally ok. And it is, but I am still displeased, lol! It's all good. I'll continue following my calories and my exercise routine...
12/10 140.8 Much better
12/11. 139.8 First time in the 130's for decades, since before my children (in the nineties). My first child "gave" me seven extra pounds and my second, two. I, unfortunately, "gave" myself more! Too many years of prioritizing everything before my needed weight loss. Yo-yo'ing up and down the overweight range of BMI was not the best. No doubt, I'll bounce around 140 for a awhile. This is my year-end goal, which means I need to get lower than that to compensate for the two holiday parties on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
12/12 139.7
12/13 139.2. It's amazing how we can compartmentalize, isn't it? I have been thinking that I only have two Christmas parties to go to this year (actually, just small family get-togethers, hardly parties). A couple days back, I added my second REAL party date to my calendar and it took until yesterday to I realize that I am now up to four events which will adversely impact my weight loss. My plan for the two family get-togethers is to follow my usual eating pattern during the day, excluding those two meals. Then I will eat a bit of everything and not bother to log calories, other than throwing in some wildly estimated "quick add" calories. For the two actual parties, I plan to eat three items and have a glass of punch/wine and do the same with the quick add calories. Like many others, I find when I develop a plan, it is far, far easier! Even with holiday parties, I still believe I will be able to meet my UGW by the end of Feb (vacation). My 140 lb interim goal at end-of-year may not be met and that will be okay.
12/14 139.3
12/15 139.3
12/16 139.1. During this Round, I have made 3 batches of fudge and cookies and I didn't have any. Who knew this was possible? (FYI, I will be having some on Christmas Eve!)

House update: Our agent dig some digging -- the sellers (we think more their agent than them) are not accepting our offer because it's a VA loan. And apparently they want full asking price (a legitimate reason so they don't get in trouble law-wise for discrimination. We think so since Agent said it was an afterthought comment during their discussion why it was denied so quickly)
So we are, just to see if it's simply the VA loan, offering $5000 above asking with the concession they pay $5000 in closing (at the end of it, they still get full asking price. We are just asking them to pay the $5000 up front for closing and we pay on back end as part of the loan. They say they want full asking price, there it is)
It's more of a petty thing because our VA lender, our Agent, and both of us are veterans and nobody wants to just drop it. So we will play along to see if they're really just discriminating. There are currently no other offers on the house so if they deny it, we know it's not because they have a better offer. And we met their only other "reason" for denying it by offering full asking price.
We are petty and we know it. I wasn't quite involved in the discussion, I was told about it after the fact. But hey, I'll play along. BF has a law degree so he knows what i's to dot and t's to cross if it becomes necessary. Plus, BF really loves the house (I love what I can see based on photos and descriptions) and we don't want to walk away and settle for something we don't absolutely love just because we weren't willing to fight.
I'll try not to spam with updates, but I'm frustrated with the situation and needed to rant it out somewhere... Thank you all for being a safe place for me to release all these pent up thoughts and craziness

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!
12/16 207.4 Dang-hate to see this going up instead of down. And I have a wedding & reception to attened this evening. I
Wish me luck!!

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.
12/16/ 168.8/ dropped a little, better down than up 😃 played pool and did archery with the nephew had fun, drove a bit, ate two small meals today, happy enough! Need to go do shop tomorrow for healthy food. Trying my best 😊 its me against me, it isn't a race, going to relax about it a little. I'll get there.

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.
12/15- Crazy busy day at work. Was so tired when I got home that I just crashed on the couch. I was dying to snack after dinner when watching tv but I resisted the urge, even when my wife was snacking. 😊
12/16- 186.6. Good scale day. Stressful morning and ended up ending my fast a few hours early. Having take out wings tonight (my son's choice) so I guess I will just chalk this up to a cheat day.
