I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
I am in the normal range for my age height and build, so I am on maintenance. I'm fitter and healthier than I have been for decades. I think fit and healthy should be my new focus rather than weight loss!
New Primary Goal - stay under 160lbs.
Failed miserably at this last round. I am determined to do better this time round.
Losing a pound a week would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.
to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me an element of daily accountability which is motivational.
Observations, and Previous RoundsMany events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you stick with it! The game continues!
A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:- Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
- A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
- A high sodium day usually results in a gain due to water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/9 - 63.9kg (-0.8kg)- The scale is absolutely messing with me. 800g overnight? I wish! I'm not changing my mini-goal until I see this stick for a few days. And when it does - then I will celebrate haha YAY
11/10 - 63.6kg (-0.3kg) - This is not a drill people! The loss is real. I'm still tossing up where to reset my mini-goal to as I am away for a conference at the end of the challenge. Hmmmmm. Getting a big walk in today and sticking to gin and sodas tonight at the pub.
11/11 - 63.9kg Well I didn't get that walk OR stick to gin and sodas at the pub. Oops. Weekend weight gain totally expected. More to come tomorrow.
11/12 - 64.2kg - I'm super happy that my usual weekend heavier weight is actually lower than my lowest weight last round! Had friends around to watch multiple games of football yesterday and ate all the food and drank all the beer. Back on the wagon today with a walk and IF.

I woke up in the middle of the night with horrible stomach cramps and...erm...expelled the pizza. I hadn't had any bread or dairy in months, so maybe i'm allergic to something...like pizza. We'll see if it sticks, I know there may be a rebound effect.

I’ve done 14 of these challenges which is exactly 20 weeks. I started MFP before joining the challenges so there’s no starting whoosh represented here. I’ve been aiming at a 500-calorie per day deficit which would theoretically result in a 1-pound/week loss. From high to low in 20 weeks I’ve lost 24 pounds. I’ll take it! CICO!!

What are ring guards?
You can buy a ring to wear on the outside of your finger that is smaller than the inside ring. This can have an appearance that enhances the look of the original ring and help keep it from slipping off your finger.
But I think that the conversation is about adding to the original ring something to effectively make it smaller
Here are some examples
Some people just do this with tape. See making your ring smaller on google.
That's a great idea.4 -
I am back for my 15th round! I closed Round 21 at 169.4 lbs! With both of my sons' having birthdays, and Mom being in the hospital nearing the end of her time with us, I hope that I can stick to it when counting calories is honestly the last thing on my mind.

GW this Round: 167.0
11/9 169 lbs (-.4) My first born son turned 14 yesterday, and I did not eat any cake at all. I did have a small bit of chocolate ice cream, but I portioned it.
11/10 168.4 (-.6)
11/11 167.8 (-.6) Spent the entire day and into the early hours of the morning with Mom. She's taken a drastic turn for the worse. I fear the worst.
11/12 166 (-1.8) Spent the entire day at the hospital again. The doctors let us know that Mom only has a couple of hours left.

11/9- 150.26 Well that is a depressing way to start off this round. No time to dwell though, so I'll just keep chugging along and hope tomorrow is better.
11/10-150.7 Even more weight gain. So frustrating. Hopefully this doesn't become a trend.
11/11-149.6 So thankful to see the weight going back down. Hoping to fit in a walk today.
11/12---Was running late today so no weight. Managed 3.5 miles yesterday, but went out for drinks last night. Hoping tomorrow's weight isn't too cringe worthy. lol

11/9 - 246.2 - I felt pretty good about yesterday. Got my exercise in, ate within my calories. Glad the scale reflected that!
11/10 - 244.0 - Finally making progress again! Woo!!
11/11 - 243.2 - Got a lot of sleep last night. Trying to get over this cold! Today I'm going to try out some keto recipes to see if that might work for me.
11/12 - 242.0 - Really pleased with the progress I'm making. Maybe I can be in the 230s by the end of this challenge. That would be awesome!

Here we go again!!! Back in for round 22 (my round 20). I'm proof that this works...trust the process and the weight will come off. It's not all down...lots of ups along the way. This daily check in group has been a huge part of keeping me going. Many thanks to all of you who have been around for the long haul and welcome to the newbies in round 22, you're going to love it here!!
SW - 182.4 in March 2017
GW - 145 - hit this target a couple of rounds ago...now checking in daily as I figure out how to maintain this for the long term
There was an update on my Garmin app last week that has a rolling 7 day average on the home screen. I think that if I keep an eye on this to make sure the number stays in the 145 range I'll be golden!!

11/9: - 144.6 - had a great run yesterday and ate well (probably a bit under maintenance). Looks like we're getting snow tonight so that may have been my last trail run for a while, not sure I'll brave the bluffs in the snow. So I'll be heading to the basement for my workouts in the mean time...elliptical and kettlebells...
11/10: - 144.2 - Lots of steps in the showroom yesterday and a bit of a calorie deficit to give me a buffer for the weekend meals and cocktails. There are 3" of snow on the ground and it's -25C with the wind chill this morning so I put on my workout gear instead of my running gear when I got up this morning. The dog is going to be very disappointed...
11/11: - 144.6 - right where I expected.
11/12: - 146.6 - Wine and salty snacks...but not over 7000 calories worth...so this is mainly water retention. I should see it gone in the next couple of days with lots of water and watching the sodium.

11/9 - 193.8 Went to the gym for weights yesterday. At least it didn't go back up, maybe I've finally broke my 194 plateau.
11/10 - 193.6 Less salt yesterday. Hope I can keep some discipline over the weekend.
11/11 - 193.4 Avoided snacking most of the day, kind of proud of that. Usually my solo days off are a total snackfest.
11/12 - 193 I was hungry a lot yesterday. But I guess I did okay.
